[Dovecot] dovecot2, antispam and sieve versions
by Terry Barnum 22 Aug '13

22 Aug '13

I'm currently running dovecot2 v2.2.5 with dovecot2-antispam 0.0-51 and dovecot2-sieve 0.4.1, all via macports. If one wanted to downgrade to dovecot v2.2.0, would these versions of antispam and sieve still be okay to use? The reason for the question is I'm trying to diagnose a mailserver problem where after 2-6 days the machine goes deaf. Absolutely nothing of interest in any logfile that I can see except for an imap-login process crash which got me thinking about a downgrade test. Thanks, -Terry Terry Barnum digital OutPost http://www.dop.com

[Dovecot] Dovecot antispam plugin for 2.2
by Micah Anderson 21 Aug '13

21 Aug '13

Hello, I recently was looking to update to dovecot 2.2 and I have been happily using the dovecot-antispam plugin in 2.1, but found that there have been some changes in dovecot that make this version not compile against 2.2. I'm wondering if Johannes you have any plans to update it, or if others have managed to figure out what is necessary to get it to work? The particular piece that I am currently stuck on is that the dict_init() in dovecot now requires more arguments than in previous versions, it now requires this: int dict_init(const char *uri, enum dict_data_type value_type, const char *username, const char *base_dir, struct dict **dict_r, const char **error_r); but previously, we only needed four arguments. Now we need to know what to supply for '**dict_r' and '**error_r'. Any advise/help would be appreciated: make[1]: Entering directory `/home/micah/debian/dovecot-antispam/dovecot-antispam-2.0+20120225' cc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I/usr/include/dovecot/ -I/usr/include/dovecot/src/ -I/usr/include/dovecot/src/lib/ -I/usr/include/dovecot/src/lib-storage/ -I/usr/include/dovecot/src/lib-mail/ -I/usr/include/dovecot/src/lib-imap/ -I/usr/include/dovecot/src/lib-dict/ -I/usr/include/dovecot/src/lib-index/ -I/usr/include/dovecot/src/imap/ -o dovecot-version dovecot-version.c ./dovecot-version > dovecot-version.h CC antispam-storage.o In file included from antispam-storage-2.2.c:20:0, from antispam-storage.c:3: antispam-plugin.h: In function ‘string_dict_init’: antispam-plugin.h:288:2: error: too few arguments to function ‘dict_init’ return dict_init(uri, DICT_DATA_TYPE_STRING, username, NULL); ^ In file included from antispam-plugin.h:13:0, from antispam-storage-2.2.c:20, from antispam-storage.c:3: /usr/include/dovecot/dict.h:34:5: note: declared here int dict_init(const char *uri, enum dict_data_type value_type, ^ micah

[Dovecot] Dsync confusion...
by Ben 21 Aug '13

21 Aug '13

Hi, Maybe I've been staring at config files and man pages too long, but the doc page for Dsync is a little confusing and I don't how to solve my problem. I've probably missed something simple and stupid, but as I said, I've been staring at this problem too long and need a second pair of eyes on it ! Per doveconf below the user/owner for auth db is a user with shell /bin/false. Root SSH login is also disabled on the target machine, so I need to use a script user to do the sync. I installed dovecot on the target host and config'd it as per the second doveconf below But all I ever get are errors such as : su -c "dsync -u test(a)somewhere.example.com backup its-virtmail(a)somewhere.example.com" its_scripts dsync(its_scripts): Fatal: setuid(1001(its-virtmail) from userdb lookup) failed with euid=1002(its_scripts): Operation not permitted (This binary should probably be called with process user set to 1001(its-virtmail) instead of 1002(its_scripts)) root@ukc-vm02-mx01:/etc/dovecot/conf.d# dsync(its_scripts): Error: userdb lookup: connect(/var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb) failed: Permission denied (euid=1002(its_scripts) egid=1002(its_scripts) missing +r perm: /var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb, dir owned by 0:0 mode=0755) Even if I temporarily give /bin/sh and an ssh key to the dovecot user, I still can't get it to work : ssh its-virtmail(a)somewhere.example.com dsync -u test(a)example.com dsync(its-virtmail): Error: user test(a)somewhere.example.com: Initialization failed: mail_location not set and autodetection failed: Mail storage autodetection failed with home=/srv/mail/example.com/test dsync(its-virtmail): Fatal: User init failed dsync-local(test(a)somewhere.example.com): Error: read() from worker server failed: EOF # SOURCE HOST # 2.0.19: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.5.0-37-generic x86_64 Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS auth_verbose = yes auth_verbose_passwords = sha1 mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir 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 passdb { args = scheme=CRYPT username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/users driver = passwd-file } plugin { fts = solr fts_solr = url=http://localhost:8080/solr/ sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve } protocols = imap lmtp sieve service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-userdb { group = its-virtmail mode = 0660 user = its-virtmail } } service imap-login { process_min_avail = 3 } service lmtp { process_min_avail = 5 unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { group = postfix mode = 0600 user = postfix } user = its-virtmail } service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve { port = 4190 } inet_listener sieves { port = 5190 ssl = yes } process_min_avail = 3 } ssl = required ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/mx_example.com.pem ssl_cipher_list = TLSv1+HIGH:!SSLv2:!aNULL:!eNULL:!3DES:!PSK:@STRENGTH ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/mx_example.com.key userdb { args = username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/users driver = passwd-file } protocol imap { imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail mail_max_userip_connections = 10 mail_plugins = fts fts_solr } protocol pop3 { mail_max_userip_connections = 10 pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh } protocol lda { deliver_log_format = msgid=%m: %$ mail_plugins = sieve postmaster_address = postmaster quota_full_tempfail = yes rejection_reason = Your message to <%t> was automatically rejected:%n%r } protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = sieve postmaster_address = postmaster(a)example.com } #DEST HOST # 2.0.19: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.5.0-37-generic x86_64 Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS auth_verbose = yes auth_verbose_passwords = sha1 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 passdb { args = scheme=CRYPT username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/users driver = passwd-file } plugin { sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve } protocols = " imap lmtp sieve" service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { group = its-virtmail user = its-virtmail } } service lmtp { process_min_avail = 3 user = its-virtmail } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { args = username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/users driver = passwd-file }

[Dovecot] Delivering message to other mailbox
by Frank de Bot 21 Aug '13

21 Aug '13

Hi, On my mailserver I have for each mailbox a sieve script to put Spam-marked message into a folder (match header, then fileinto 'Spam'). This works, but I want to deliver spam-marked messages to a different mailbox. For each user a seperate mailbox is created next to the existing mailbox, allowing different authentication. How can I do this with dovecot/pigeonhole? I figured out I could redirect is the user.spam@domain which delivers to the other mailbox, but it will go into a new delivery process with amavis set up. (There's no point to scan a single message twice). Is there a way I can accomplish to directly deliver a spam-marked message to a different mailbox? Regards, Frank de Bot

[Dovecot] Using procmail to mark messages as read in dovecot
by LuKreme 20 Aug '13

20 Aug '13

So, I use procmail extensively, and I have for a long time, but marking messages as 'read' in a Maildir has always been a little wonky: TRAP='mv "$LASTFOLDER" "${LASTFOLDER}:2,S"' Since I've switched to dovecot, is there a way to mark a message on delivery as read or not new or seen? -- Clarke's Law: Sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic

[Dovecot] age-limit
by Carlos L 20 Aug '13

20 Aug '13

I'm trying to figure if there is a "proactive" way to enforce item age on maildir . maildir-cleanup kind of does it but im looking for something similiar to quota ++ that you can add to dovecot but for item age not size. Any ideas?
