[Dovecot] Sieve & Adding headers.
by Steven Haigh 26 Jul '12

26 Jul '12

Hi all, I've just migrated my mail system from procmail to managesieve/sieve and I'm having trouble trying to duplicate a could of rules I used to use in my procmail config. One particular rule would be this: :0 Wfh * ^Sender: owner-scientific-linux-devel(a)LISTSERV.FNAL.GOV | (sed -e '/^Subject:/ s/\[SCIENTIFIC-LINUX-DEVEL\] *//g'| sed ':a;N;$!ba;s/Precedence: list/Precedence: list\nList-Post: <mailto:scientific-linux-devel@fnal.gov>/g') :0 A .Mail\ Lists.SL-Devel/ This in effect adds the header "List-Post: <mailto:scientific-linux-devel@fnal.gov>" after "Precedence: list". This allows me to use the Reply To List functionality in Thunderbird. Another rule is: :0 Wfh * ^X-BeenThere: users(a)lists.repoforge.org | sed -e '/^Subject:/ s/\[users\] *//g' :0 A .Mail\ Lists.RPMForge/ This removes the [users] tag from the subject of each message to the RPMForge / RepoForge mailing lists. Is there a way to do this with sieve? Nothing I have seen seems to do this - however I'm only a beginner in this area. Please CC myself as well as the list. I'm not currently subscribed. -- Steven Haigh Email: netwiz(a)crc.id.au Web: http://www.crc.id.au Phone: (03) 9001 6090 - 0412 935 897 Fax: (03) 8338 0299

[Dovecot] Remove leading and trailing spaces from folder names?
by Ralf Hildebrandt 26 Jul '12

26 Jul '12

Hi! Anybody got a doveadm script which can remove leading and trailing spaces from folder names? Right now we're migrating mailboxes from dovecot -> Exchange, and Exchange cannot handle leading and trailing spaces in Folder names. -- Ralf Hildebrandt Geschäftsbereich IT | Abteilung Netzwerk Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin Campus Benjamin Franklin Hindenburgdamm 30 | D-12203 Berlin Tel. +49 30 450 570 155 | Fax: +49 30 450 570 962 ralf.hildebrandt(a)charite.de | http://www.charite.de

They look sort of like what alpine would produce. Do your clients have direct filesystem access to the INBOX spool? Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

[Dovecot] lock file strangeness
by McGraw, Robert P 25 Jul '12

25 Jul '12

We are running dovecot-1.2.10 on a Solaris 10 x86 host. Starting on July 24 I started seeing the following type lock files I the /var/mail directory. -rw-rw-rw- 1 agab mail 0 Jul 24 10:08 agabriel.lock.1343138908.28535.hardy.purdue.edu -rw-rw-rw- 1 agab mail 0 Jul 24 10:08 agabriel.lock.1343138907.28535.hardy.purdue.edu -rw-rw-rw- 1 agab mail 0 Jul 24 10:08 agabriel.lock.1343138906.28535.hardy.purdue.edu -rw-rw-rw- 1 agab mail 0 Jul 24 10:08 agabriel.lock.1343138905.28535.hardy.purdue.edu They are being created by only three of our users. What is common with the three users is that they are using alpine mail client. Again these just started on July 24. We have over 300 user and a lot of them use alpine but only three users seem to generate these lock files. Can some one tell me what and why these are being created and why they are not getting destroyed? Thanks Robert _____________________________________________________________________ Robert P.

[Dovecot] deleted-to-trash plugin problems
by Steve Platt 24 Jul '12

24 Jul '12

We have a user who wants to use Outlook with our Dovecot IMAP server but doesn't like the way Outlook handles deletion with IMAP. Ironically she would like Outlook to move the message to her Trash folder, just like Outlook does with "local" folders, I guess. So I enabled the "deleted-to-trash" plugin (v0.3) on our Dovecot 1.2.17 server (built for SPARC, solaris 10, btw). The problem is that it doesn't seem to work; the message doesn't even appear to get marked for delete. The imap log says: "opening Trash succeeded" and then nothing else! I have found that there is a copy of the message in .Trash/tmp/ suggesting that the plugin may be bailing out part way through. Has anyone any idea what's wrong please? I'll attach the output of dovecot -n ... Thanks, Steve

Morten Stevens <mstevens(a)imt-systems.com> writes: > So it is now RFC compliant. Anyway I think delaying mail traffic is not > a good solution. Well, OK, if you not keen on greylisting, you can try greet pausing, which introduces a shorter delay. It tests a bot's patience by inserting a pre-HELO pause. RFC allows 5 minutes before timeout. This is last week's stat for one of my mail server and the count of early-talker or early-disconnecter, almost all of which are bots. A greet pause of over 20s dumps a lot of bots. Expect to whitelist the odd server here and there because they've tuned their servers to some aggressively small RFC non-compliant timeouts.
