[Dovecot] Sieve is not getting the propper RCPT from the LMTP daemon
by klondike 14 Feb '14

14 Feb '14

Hi! Since the setup I use is a bit strange let's go for it first: * The system uses postfix as MTA and dovecot as LDA after alias translation by local via LMTP * The dovecot version is 2.2.5 and the pigeonhole version is 0.4.1 * The SMTP server at gentoo.org is configured to send me a backup of my emails to klondike+gentoo (at) xiscosoft.es using sendmail * The email is received by the server and then (hopefully filtered). * The email comes with two Delivered-To: headers, the first one has the correct address, the second one has the gentoo address. The interesting part of the filter is this: if envelope :detail "to" "gentoo" { addflag "\\Seen"; fileinto "gentoo"; stop; } But this doesn't seem to work, I enable debugging with the following lines: require "vnd.dovecot.debug"; require "envelope"; require "variables"; if envelope :matches "to" "*" { debug_log "envelope to `${1}'"; } if envelope :matches "from" "*" { debug_log "envelope from `${1}'"; } The relevant lines for the test e-mail I sent are these: sieve: info: started log at Dec 24 13:37:23. main script: line 9: info: DEBUG: envelope to `klondike (at) gentoo.org'. main script: line 10: info: DEBUG: envelope from `klondike (at) gentoo.org'. info: msgid=<52B97FF7.6050109(a)gentoo.org>: stored mail into mailbox 'INBOX'. The thing is that the to envelope should be instead klondike+gentoo (at) xiscosoft.es as show by the lmtp logs: Dec 24 13:37:23 localhost dovecot: lmtp(26249): Connect from local Dec 24 13:37:23 localhost dovecot: lmtp(26249, klondike): Cd6YHwOAuVKJZgAA0J78UA: sieve: msgid=<52B97FF7.6050109(a)gentoo.org>: stored mail into mailbox 'INBOX' Dec 24 13:37:23 localhost dovecot: lmtp(26249): Disconnect from local: Successful quit Dec 24 13:37:23 localhost postfix/lmtp[26248]: 657D9101E5E: to=<klondike+gentoo (at) xiscosoft.es>, relay=xiscosoft.net[private/dovecot-lmtp], delay=0.29, delays=0.05/0.03/0.03/0.18, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 <klondike+gentoo (at) xiscosoft.es> Cd6YHwOAuVKJZgAA0J78UA Saved) I really have no idea of why sieve is behaving like this as the evelope address is sent properly by postfix's lmtp according to the logs. Any ideas? klondike PS: please do CC me when answering this e-mail as I'm not subscribed to the list yet

[Dovecot] imap2json
by Kai Hendry 05 Feb '14

Hi there, I've started work on a side project that I've been long wanting to do; better HTML archives of email. https://github.com/kaihendry/imap2json I'm just designing the JSON schema atm, and I thought it would be good to get your feedback (Esp Timo) before I make a horrible mistake. https://github.com/kaihendry/imap2json/blob/master/JSON-design.mdwn Is it a good idea to base the id of a converation by the sha1sum of the first message for example? Any other tips or words of encouragement would be great. Kind regards,

[Dovecot] Shared Folters with LDA/Sieve
by Dieter Knopf 19 Jan '14

19 Jan '14

Hello, i'm searching for a way to use Shared mailboxes with Sieve Filtering. I need global email addresses like: info(a)foo.tld contact(a)foo.tld help(a)foo.tld Every address with own Sieve-rules for filtering and sorting of incoming mails. Now every user needs access to this folders, but how? How should i create the "global" addresses? I already found http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Public , but that's just a public namespace. Is there any FAQ available for this? Thank you very much Dieter

[Dovecot] mail-filter always results in corrupted indexes
by martijn.list 16 Jan '14

16 Jan '14

Hi, I'm experimenting with the mail-filter plugin but whenever I add anything to a message, it always results in an corrupted cache: from the logs: Dec 14 16:09:55 ciphermail-webmail dovecot: imap(martijn=djigzo.com(a)ciphermail.private): Error: Corrupted index cache file /var/vmail/martijn=djigzo.com(a)ciphermail.private/dovecot.index.cache: Broken physical size for mail UID 76 Dec 14 16:09:55 ciphermail-webmail dovecot: imap(martijn=djigzo.com(a)ciphermail.private): Error: read() failed: Invalid argument Dec 14 16:10:02 ciphermail-webmail dovecot: imap(martijn=djigzo.com(a)ciphermail.private): Error: Cached message size smaller than expected (773 < 777) Dec 14 16:10:02 ciphermail-webmail dovecot: imap(martijn=djigzo.com(a)ciphermail.private): Error: Maildir filename has wrong S value, renamed the file from /var/vmail/martijn=djigzo.com@ciphermail.private/cur/1387033802.M114583P9631.ciphermail-webmail,S=773,W=791:2, t A do-nothing filter that just sends the input to the output works but whenever I add something trivial to the message, the cache is always corrupted. I using Dovecot 2.2.9.1 (from the deb archives). I use the following trivial test to add some XXX chars and and later remove them. In mail-filter.sh I append some chars and in mail-filter-out I filter these chars out (this is just a test) cat > /tmp/dovecot-in.txt echo "XXX" >> /tmp/dovecot-in.txt cat /tmp/dovecot-in.txt mail-filter-out: cat > /tmp/dovecot-out.txt sed -i /XXX/d /tmp/dovecot-out.txt cat /tmp/dovecot-out.txt Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Kind regards, Martijn Brinkers

[Dovecot] int/ext mailserver
by Mr.Pine 15 Jan '14

15 Jan '14

I 'm using potfix-dovcote as an internal mail server(local.myco.com) and wan to run another potfix-dovcote as an external mail server (myco.com) on Internet.75% of my users should only work internally(no external mail) but the rest of users (25%)should be able to send mail to external network! These users have the same username on myco.com. I use smtp_generic_maps to map int username of these users to ext. one. For eg. All email send by test(a)local.myco.com map to test(a)myco.com. So anyone got these mails can reply them. I know that getmail is the tools that can get mails from users external mailbox and put them into int. mailbox. 1. I have a root access to ext mail server. But do not know my ext user password!. How can I use getmail to move ext mail to internal one?! 2. What is your idea about syncing users password in internal/external mail server?! I think its needed for getmail! 3. How can I restrict my internal users to send mail only internally!? I appreciated any help!! TNX

[Dovecot] Dovecot service not responding after about a week of uptime
by Matthieu 15 Jan '14

15 Jan '14

Hello, I am running a dovecot 2.1.13 server and lately it stops responding after about a week of uptime. Simply restarting the dovecot service solves the issue. I tried to look a bit in my maillog file but did not find anything obvious. During the time when the server is not responding I can still see imap-login entries from the connection attempt by my email client. Any help about how to diagnose the problem would be appreciated. Thanks, Matthieu

[Dovecot] Dovecot quota with MySQL - username issue
by michael 11 Jan '14

11 Jan '14

Hi all, I'm using Dovecot 2.2.8 with quota using a MySQL backend. The Quota plugin is listed for POP3, IMAP and LDA. When it is enabled for LDA, it populates the "username" field in the MySQL table with e mail addresses. I end up with a mixture of email addresses and usernames, which causes things to not fully work. It *should* be just usernames. the LDA SQL statement is: user_query = \ SELECT mailboxes.username, accounts.uid, accounts.uid AS gid, \ concat('/home/',mailboxes.username) AS home, \ (SELECT IF(accounts.new_mail_fmt=1, \ CONCAT('Maildir:',home,'/Maildir'), \ CONCAT('mbox:',home,'/Maildir:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/',mailboxes.username))) AS mail_location \ FROM mailboxes JOIN accounts ON accounts.username=mailboxes.username \ WHERE (mailboxes.email='%u' || \ (mailboxes.email=CONCAT('@','%d') AND (SELECT COUNT(email) FROM mailboxes \ WHERE email='%u') = 0) AND mailboxes.active IS TRUE) It clearly knows the username. Usernames on this system are just names, not full email addresses. The configuration of Quota Dict is: dovecot.conf dict/quotadict = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf ... quota = dict:user::proxy::quotadict dovecot-dict-sql.conf map { pattern = priv/quota/storage table = quota username_field = username value_field = bytes } map { pattern = priv/quota/messages table = quota username_field = username value_field = messages } Can this be fixed?

[Dovecot] LMTP with virtual and system users
by Philipp Kolmann 08 Jan '14

08 Jan '14

Hi, I have a mailsystem where i have some local users with shell access and full home dirs which receive mail and also several SQL virtual users only for mail. With the virtual users, everything works fine. Mail is delivered via LMTP and also sieve works :) The SQL Lookup knows what to do with username(a)domain.com The problem is the system user. If exim delivers the mail to the lmtp socket, the LMTPd can't find username(a)local.host I would be able to specify the global auth_username_format=%n but then my SQL queries break and I like the possibility to have xx(a)domain1.com and xx(a)domain2.com routed to two different accounts. As I have seen in the source, I can't specify username_format=%n in the passdb { driver = pam } backend. Do you have any suggestion how to solve this issue? thanks Philipp

[Dovecot] how to separate virtual delivery and authentication?
by Mihai Badici 08 Jan '14

08 Jan '14

I have a "pure ldap" setting with postfix and dovecot. When using dovecot delivery, the recipient is checked via ldap. The same ldap query is used when authenticate. So, if I want to authenticate with the uid , I can't use a filter like uid=%u because the delivery will fail. I don't want to use %nor something else because I could use multiple e-mail addresses on a single account. I actually use a filter like ( mail=%u)|(uid=%u) but I think for more complex situations should be better to have two separate filters, one for authentication and the other for the delivery. What is your oppinion? -- Mihai Bădici http://mihai.badici.ro
