[Dovecot] thunderbird detach attachment
by mourik jan heupink 10 Apr '13

10 Apr '13

Hi all, Thunderbird has an option to detach attachments from (for example) sent items. I've tried it, and it does not work, and also in the dovecot logs I don't see anything interesting meanwhile. Before looking deeper into this: Does anyone here know if this option is known to work, or not? We're running dovecot 2.1.7 on debian wheezy. Removing unwanted attachments is a nice way to keep mail archives smaller... Thanks, MJ

[Dovecot] How to see folders/subfolders/emails through imap
by Stephan von Krawczynski 10 Apr '13

10 Apr '13

Hello all, I am trying to do something very simple - at least thats what I thought. I have some fs, it contains folders and subfolders with email files ordered like maildir. Now I try to set up dovecot on top simply to let some imap account watch these email files. But I cannot see any folders at all. I can create new folders and see them, but I cannot create subfolders as subdirs like "folder/subfolder". Instead I get "folder.subfolder" dirs on the fs. I tried to set the separator to "/", but that does not help at all. Is there some easy way to configure dovecot to display: <somedir>/<folder1>/<subfolder1>/new/files... <subfolder2>/new/files... <subfolder3>/new/files... according to fs layout on some imap-client (like thunderbird)? -- Regards, Stephan

You probably want to compile in tcp_wrapper support and handle it that way http://wiki2.dovecot.org/LoginProcess You might also hook into a the post-login script if you need some bizarre logic to determine whether to allow a login or not, but this is later in the session setup rather than block-on-sight like a firewall. http://wiki2.dovecot.org/PostLoginScripting Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

[Dovecot] How to exec /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap with specific maildir location
by David Woodhouse 09 Apr '13

09 Apr '13

Once upon a time I could configure my mailer to access my historical archives by running something like ssh $mailserver MAIL=maildir:~/Maildir-archive dovecot --exec-mail imap I need to run /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap manually now, and I've fixed that a while ago for my normal email access. But I've just had cause to go back to my archives for the first time in a while... and realised that I don't know how to make it work any more. When invoking /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap, is there an environment variable or command line option which can set the mail location? -- dwmw2

[Dovecot] Any simple way to block logins by IP address?
by Steve Campbell 09 Apr '13

09 Apr '13

Does Dovecot have a facility to block pop3 and imap logins by IP address. I usually do this by putting the IPs in my border firewall, but it's in transition currently to a new one, and I'd like to end connection fairly fast. If it matters, I'm using 2.0.9. Thanks steve campbell

[Dovecot] Received date on emails is wrong after file copying
by maia＠weiser.dk 09 Apr '13

09 Apr '13

Hi, I have installed a new mail server where I'm migrating from Courier to Dovecot. I have made a mistake when I was copying over the emails so the date/time mark on them is updated. So all my mails are now from the copy date/time and not the real receive time. I have tried to copy the emails over again, so they get the right date/time on the file level. And when I look at a single email in details in SquirrelMail it has now the right date/time, but when I look at the overview of a folder it still have the copy date/time on them. Is there any way to get the date/time in the overview updated, maybe delete some index files or force it to re-index? I'm not even sure that the problem is in Dovecot. But I'm sure You can help me here. Best Regards, Kim Johansen

[Dovecot] script to detect dictionary attacks
by Reindl Harald 09 Apr '13

09 Apr '13

Hi has someone a script which can filter out dictionary attacks from /var/log/maillog and notify about the source-IPs? i know about fail2ban and so on, but i would like to have a mail with the IP address for two reasons and avoid fail2ban at all because it does not match in the way we maintain firewalls * add the IP to a distributed "iptables-block.sh" and distribute it to any server with a comment and timestamp * write a abuse-mail to the ISP
