Pretty dumb of openssl not to be able to connect arbitrary servers... in a useful way, that is.

[Dovecot] OT: Large corporate email systems - Exchange vs open source *nix based
by Charles Marcus 11 Dec '13

11 Dec '13

Hello, There has been some whispers about considering migrating our mail systems to Exchange Server. I want to try to nip this in the bud. I would like to ask for some help with providing some kind of comparison of large(r) commercial companies use of email systems... specifically, those using Microsoft Exchange Server, vs those using open source Linux/Unix based systems, including even commercial *nix groupware based systems like Zimbra, as well as plain mail systems like dovecot, or cyrus or courier. I know that many (if they are smart) Admins that do use Exchange internally will use postfix (or something else linux/unix based) in front of it as their relayhost (for both inbound and outbound), so just counting the number of publicly accessible smtp servers won't be a good gauge. Does anyone know of any decent non-biased studies that have been done, hopefully relatively recently (last few years) that provide such a comparison? Thanks, -- Best regards, */Charles/*

[Dovecot] "Select Inbox" drops connection. IMAP troubleshooting help available?
by Thor Legvold 11 Dec '13

11 Dec '13

Newbie to the list here. I don’t know if this is Dovecot specific, but I can see that my IMAP server is running Dovecot. So far (as a client) I haven’t been able to figure out how to get it to tell me the version number. What I’m trying to get is more detailed info in order to debug an IMAP problem. I’ve been unable to retrieve email since the 27th of November on this specific account. Another user on the same domain/email receives and sends email just fine. Having tried both Apple Mail, Thunderbird, as well as a Telnet terminal connection, I see two problems, but am unaware of what to do from here to verify or fix the problem. First is that the SSL certificate is a self signed one from some local hosting service. Fair enough, I told OS X to trust it (for now), both in Mail and Thunderbird (and Safari). Second is that when logging in via the terminal, I can log in fine, navigate to any folder and read any email on the server - with the exception of the Inbox. Anytime I issue a “Select” or “Examine” command with the “Inbox” as argument, the connection is dropped. E.g.: after logging in, listing folders, navigating around, I do this: a select inbox closed Sonovo:~ Thunder$ and am back at the terminal prompt. If I do an “Email Trace” in CPanel on my server (hosting both my website and IMAP email accounts), I see a long list of emails accepted to my address and in the system, but I cannot seem to access them from any client. There may well be a better list/forum for discussing this kind of thing. I was actually on a mailing list years ago with Mark Crispin himself, but haven’t spoken with him in 10 years or more. I’m not sure where to go for more help/info. I’m not a complete (l)user, but nor am I a guru (tm). Any tips or help is greatly appreciated! Sonovo

[Dovecot] post-logout scripting
by Jouko Nikula 11 Dec '13

11 Dec '13

Hi all, I found this (http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2010-January/045717.html) describing how to do a post-logout script. But is this valid anymore? It seems I'm getting error when trying to execute imap process in post-logout script and post logout documentation does not talk about executing imap. I'm trying to umount (virtual) user home directory when user logs out. Thanks, - Jouko

[Dovecot] undoing a zlib test
by Terry Barnum 10 Dec '13

10 Dec '13

I'm trying to undo a dovecot zlib test and uncompress 6 emails in my Junk mailbox. There are about 25 total in different mailboxes but I thought I'd first start with those in my Junk. I ran: # dsync -v -u terry(a)dop.com -m Junk -o plugin/zlib_save= backup maildir:/path/to/temp/folder which returned without error and backed up my Junk mailbox but didn't uncompress the 6 emails. Am I calling dsync incorrectly to uncompress? zlib is currently not loaded as a plugin. Once I get them uncompressed is doveadm import the correct way to get them back into my Junk mailbox? Something like this? # doveadm -v import -u terry(a)dop.com maildir:/path/to/temp/folder "" mailbox Junk SENTON 2013-12-06 Thanks, -Terry # 2.2.9: /opt/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Darwin 11.4.2 x86_64 hfs auth_verbose = yes base_dir = /opt/local/var/run/dovecot/ default_internal_user = _dovecot default_login_user = _dovenull first_valid_uid = 102 last_valid_uid = 105 listen = * mail_gid = 102 mail_location = maildir:/Volumes/mail/vmail/%d/%u mail_uid = 102 managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date ihave namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = } passdb { args = /opt/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } plugin { antispam_backend = dspam antispam_debug_target = syslog antispam_dspam_args = --user;%u;--deliver=;--source=error;--signature=%%s antispam_dspam_binary = /opt/local/bin/dspamc antispam_dspam_notspam = --class=innocent antispam_dspam_result_header = X-DSPAM-Result antispam_dspam_spam = --class=spam antispam_signature = X-DSPAM-Signature antispam_signature_missing = move antispam_spam_pattern_ignorecase = junk;spam;junk * antispam_trash_pattern_ignorecase = trash;deleted * mail_log_events = flag_change append delete undelete expunge copy sieve = ~/dovecot.sieve sieve_before = /Volumes/mail/vmail/%d/global/global.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve } protocols = imap pop3 lmtp sieve sendmail_path = /opt/local/sbin/sendmail service auth-worker { user = $default_internal_user } service auth { unix_listener /opt/local/var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = _postfix mode = 0660 user = _postfix } unix_listener auth-userdb { mode = 0660 user = _vmail } } ssl_cert = </opt/local/etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.cert ssl_key = </opt/local/etc/ssl/private/dovecot.key userdb { args = /opt/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = " sieve" } protocol lda { mail_plugins = " sieve" postmaster_address = postmaster(a)dop.com } protocol imap { mail_max_userip_connections = 50 mail_plugins = " antispam" } Terry Barnum digital OutPost http://www.dop.com

They were subscribed in Outlook, but there's no option to set that on the iPad. The solution was to edit the mail account settings on the iPad and specify a root folder "INBOX" (minus quotes). -Mark On 10 December 2013 13:15, Daniel Parthey <d.parthey(a)metaways.de> wrote: > Are all the subfolders subscribed? > > For example Thunderbird doesn't show unsubscribed folders by default. > > Regards > Daniel
