[Dovecot] Order of istream and ostream chains
by Philipp Brüll 12 Feb '14

12 Feb '14

Hi, I'm creating a scrambler plugin, that adds an istream and an ostream to the stream-chain for the mail input/output. It works well until the zlib plugin is added to the configuration. The scrambler should run before the zlib and encrypt the mail before it's compressed. Since, the plugin is named lib18_scrambler_... (and the other lib20_zlib....), that works well when a mail is received. When a mail is read via IMAP, the plugins should handle the mail in the reverse order. So first, the zlib should decompress it and afterwards the scrambler should decrypt it. But it seems, that they work the other way around. The scrambler istream gets compressed data as input. It's hooked in the chain of istream as the following... static int scrambler_istream_opened(struct mail *_mail, struct istream **stream) { struct mail_private *mail = (struct mail_private *)_mail; union mail_module_context *mmail = SCRAMBLER_MAIL_CONTEXT(mail); struct istream *input, *inputs[2]; input = *stream; *stream = scrambler_istream_create(input); i_stream_unref(&input); return mmail->super.istream_opened(_mail, stream); } static void scrambler_mail_allocated(struct mail *_mail) { struct mail_private *mail = (struct mail_private *)_mail; struct mail_vfuncs *v = mail->vlast; union mail_module_context *mmail; mmail = p_new(mail->pool, union mail_module_context, 1); mmail->super = *v; mail->vlast = &mmail->super; v->istream_opened = scrambler_istream_opened; MODULE_CONTEXT_SET_SELF(mail, scrambler_mail_module, mmail); } How can I reverse the order of istreams? Should I use another hook or vfuns? I'm stuck in the problem for a while now, so any help would be very welcome. Best regards, Philipp

[Dovecot] personal sieve script not included
by Thomas Krause 12 Feb '14

12 Feb '14

Hello, I'm using dovecot 2.2.10 and roundcube (with managesieve enabled). Sieve filtering works well, as long the rule is written into ~/.dovecot.sieve (which is a link to ~/sieve/managesieve.sieve) When adding a new filter set (in roundcube) the script is written to ~/sieve/newfilterset.sieve. This script will not be executed. How can I solve this? I set sieve_dir = ~/sieve This should work, except I misunderstand the doc. # ls -l ./sieve total 6 -rw------- 1 vmail mail 105 Feb 5 09:24 managesieve.sieve -rw------- 1 vmail mail 113 Feb 4 16:30 test.sieve drwx------ 2 vmail mail 512 Feb 5 09:24 tmp Regards, Thomas.

[Dovecot] Problem rebuilding Centos 5/6 pigeonhole RPM from mercurial version
by Juan C. Blanco 12 Feb '14

12 Feb '14

Hi Stephan, I'm traying to rebuild the RH (Centos) EL5 and EL6 RPM with the last mercurial pigeonhole 0.4.2 version, but I'm having problems with the build. I think that I've isolated the problem outside rpmbuild context. I've downloaded dovecot and pigeonhole mercurial versions and built dovecot with the commands: dovecot-2.2.10$ ./autogen.sh dovecot-2.2.10$ ./configure INSTALL_DATA="install -c -p -m644" --enable-header-install --disable-static --with-nss --with-shadow --with-pam --with-gssapi=plugin --with-ldap=plugin --with-sql=plugin --with-mysql --with-zlib --with-sql-drivers --with-libcap --with-db --with-ssl=openssl --with-ssldir=/etc/pki/dovecot --with-notify=inotify --with-solr --with-docs dovecot-2.2.10$ make dovecot-2.2.10$ make install DESTDIR=/var/tmp/dovecot after that, building pigeonhole with the commands pigeonhole-0.4.2$ ./autogen.sh pigeonhole-0.4.2$ ./configure INSTALL_DATA="install -c -p -m644" --build=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu --host=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu --target=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu --program-prefix= --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin --sysconfdir=/etc --datadir=/usr/share --includedir=/usr/include --libdir=/usr/lib64 --libexecdir=/usr/libexec --localstatedir=/var --sharedstatedir=/usr/com --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --with-dovecot=/var/tmp/dovecot --with-managesieve=yes pigeonhole-0.4.2$ make pigeonhole-0.4.2$ make install DESTDIR=/var/tmp/dovecot works fine, but if I install pigeonhole in a different path, i.e. pigeonhole-0.4.2$ make install DESTDIR=/var/tmp/pigeonhole I get the following error make[4]: Entering directory `/home/jc/pigeonhole-0.4.2/src/lib-sieve' make[4]: Nothing to be done for `install-exec-am'. test -z

[Dovecot] RFC 5267 Contexts for IMAP4 PARTIAL results
by Anders Thøgersen 11 Feb '14

11 Feb '14

Hello, I am looking at PARTIAL responses using a dovecot version 2.2.5 and am running into an inconsistency with the RFC which I would like to ask about. The following section http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5267#section-4.4 lists client requests and server responses which I have tried running against a folder, specifying the ranges that fit the contents of the folder I have selected. The Last of the listed client requests returns a response that is not as I would expect: C: A04 UID SEARCH RETURN (PARTIAL 24000:24500) UNDELETED UNKEYWORD $Junk should return S: * ESEARCH (TAG "A04") UID PARTIAL (24000:24500 NIL) // No results are present, this is beyond the end of the results. S: A04 OK Completed. according to the RFC, but instead of NIL in the PARTIAL result I see the full range of UIDs that are in the folder, as in: C: A02 UID SEARCH RETURN (PARTIAL 23500:24000) UNDELETED S: * ESEARCH (TAG "A02") UID PARTIAL (23500:24000 1:9) S: A02 OK Search completed (0.000 secs). The folder that is selected contains 9 emails with the UIDs 1-9. Should the server return NIL Instead of returning 1:9? Thanks! Anders

Hi I am just learning to setup dovecot as part of a project to move my home mail serving from a large and complex linux computer which is acting as internet router/nat gateway to the internet (this leaving me exposed without internet connection when it goes down) to a raspberry pi - which will be port-forwarded to, when I turn my internet cable modem back into a router/modem. I have chosen to try and do this with a Postfix/Dovecot combination with some key user information coming from an sqlite database. Postfix will use Dovecot for authentication (where needed) and use its lmtp service for local delivery. I have so far got Dovecot working fine for the basic stuff, including using rsync to copy each of my users entire maildir from the old machine to the new to prove that it can be accessed. but I have one last specific piece of functionality I want to achieve that the old system does (and has been doing) for at least 5 years (that is what is still online - I think I have "archived" some older stuff). The existing environment uses a Exim4/Cyrus IMAP combination and with Exim I have managed to develop the rules so that all outgoing mail from my internal clients is copied into a subdirectory of their sent mail folder. The format of the folder is Sent.yyyy.mm where yyyy and mm are computed on the fly from todays date. (the .separator defining a subfolder in the hierarchy) I now have several years of saved messages in my existing system. Postfix has nowhere near the flexibility of Exim to develop rules like that, but I think I could potentially use an sql query on my user database to set up a sender_bcc_map that addressed the result to <sender local part>+Sent.<yyyy>.<mm> (or maybe<senderlocalpart>+Sent/<yyyy>/<mm> and then send that to dovecot. I have then to decide how to handle it. The problem I am facing is I can find no documentation about what lmtp_save_to_detail_mailbox actually causes lmtp to actually do. Searching the wiki refers to it only in the LMTP page. How should the detail of the address be formatted to specify a subdirectory - can it be specified even? Should I be using it? I have seen comments in the past about people recommending using sieve for this sort of thing. and indeed it might be better if I could figure it out, in that 1) I could then send to something more simple like <senderlocalpart>+saveoutgoing and use the "date" extension of sieve to generate the split. 2) Users could ultimately decide what to do them selves with this tag (and I could define a global "after_sieve" to throw it away. Unfortunately my reading of the fileinto extension is that the destination can only be a literal string and not a "computed" value based on the date. UNLESS anyone knows different? I would welcome any advice anyone could give me Thanks Alan Chandler
