[Dovecot] Static Passdb
by Marc Perkel 16 May '14

16 May '14

Tried this but it doesn't work. Says Unknown setting: password passdb { driver = static pass word = secret } The real file doesn't have a space in pass word. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

Hi, i've read LDA/Postfix Virtual users section , and i added dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -f ${sender} -d ${recipient} my master.cf, also I added dovecot_destination_recipient_limit = 1 virtual_transport = dovecot but I didnt find anything mailbox_command for virtual users then i removed it. also when i set sieve and sieve dir for per user i added 20-managesieve and 90-sieve sieve = /home/vmail/domains/........................edu.tr/%n/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = /home/vmail/domains/....................edu.tr/%n/.sieve values. unfortunately in maillog just see postfix hold information. thanks in advance.

[Dovecot] syncing problems Dovecot 2.2.13
by Götz Reinicke - IT Koordinator 16 May '14

Hi, we still migrate a couple of users from mbox to maildir. Most of them are fine without any problem. Some crash and dont get all mails synced. first I sync backup the mbox to a maildir-NEW, than copy mbox to a new name, mv maildir-NEW to maildir. Now some problematic mailusers miss some mails from the old mbox, so I start a dsync mirror and BAM crash. e.g.: dsync(s108019): Panic: file mbox-lock.c: line 799 (mbox_lock): assertion failed: (lock_type == F_RDLCK || mbox->mbox_lock_type != F_RDLCK) dsync(s108019): Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0 [0x333fe67f2a] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(default_fatal_handler+0x35) [0x333fe68025] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0 [0x333fe67073] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mbox_lock+0x11c) [0x334025826c] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mbox_save_begin+0x98d) [0x334025a5ad] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/lib10_quota_plugin.so [0x2b5b619183c2] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mailbox_save_begin+0x51) [0x334027b3f1] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_storage_copy+0x66) [0x3340275716] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/lib15_notify_plugin.so [0x2b5b61b1f215] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/lib10_quota_plugin.so [0x2b5b6191852d] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/lib01_acl_plugin.so [0x2b5b61707b37] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mailbox_copy+0x72) [0x334027b282] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mailbox_move+0x1d) [0x334027b36d] -> dsyn [0x42f7a5] -> dsyn [0x43351a] -> dsyn(dsync_mailbox_import_changes_finish+0x165) [0x4339b5] -> dsyn(dsync_brain_sync_mails+0x58c) [0x42ed6c] -> dsyn(dsync_brain_run+0x594) [0x42af94] -> dsyn [0x429550] -> dsyn [0x411eef] -> dsyn(doveadm_mail_try_run+0x25c) [0x41231c] -> dsyn(main+0x32e) [0x41a92e] -> /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf4) [0x3d3161d9c4] -> dsyn [0x411699] ANY help and suggestion is very welcome on how to procede.

[Dovecot] v2.2.13 released
by Timo Sirainen 15 May '14

15 May '14

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.13.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.13.tar.gz.sig A few minor changes since v2.2.13.rc1, mainly making the Pigeonhole tests pass. * Fixed a DoS attack against imap/pop3-login processes. If SSL/TLS handshake was started but wasn't finished, the login process attempted to eventually forcibly disconnect the client, but failed to do it correctly. This could have left the connections hanging arond for a long time. (Affected Dovecot v1.1+) + mdbox: Added mdbox_purge_preserve_alt setting to keep the file within alt storage during purge. (Should become enforced in v2.3.0?) + fts: Added support for parsing attachments via Apache Tika. Enable with: plugin { fts_tika = http://tikahost:9998/tika/ } + virtual plugin: Delay opening backend mailboxes until it's necessary. This requires mailbox_list_index=yes to work. (Currently IMAP IDLE command still causes all backend mailboxes to be opened.) + mail_never_cache_fields=* means now to disable all caching. This may be a useful optimization as doveadm/dsync parameter for some admin tasks which shouldn't really update the cache file. + IMAP: Return SPECIAL-USE flags always for LSUB command. - pop3 server was still crashing in v2.2.12 with some settings - maildir: Various fixes and improvements to handling compressed mails, especially when they have broken/missing S=sizes in filenames. - fts-lucene, fts-solr: Fixed crash on search when the index contained duplicate entries. - Many fixes and performance improvements to dsync and replication - director was somewhat broken when there were exactly two directors in the ring. It caused errors about "weak users" getting stuck. - mail_attachment_dir: Attachments with the last base64-encoded line longer than the rest wasn't handled correctly. - IMAP: SEARCH/SORT PARTIAL was handled completely wrong in v2.2.11+ - acl: Global ACL file handling was broken when multiple entries matched the mailbox name. (Only the first entry was used.)

Please try it out! BTW. I've read most of the mails again in Dovecot mailing list, but there are still a few reported bugs I decided to leave until later. Anyway feel free to re-send any bug reports for things that haven't been fixed in v2.2.13 yet. * Fixed a DoS attack against imap/pop3-login processes.

[Dovecot] 2.2.12 RPM Needed
by Asai 15 May '14

15 May '14

Greetings, I'm not very experienced in building Source RPMs and we're in need of a Dovecot RPM for version 2.2.12 for CentOS 5. It seems that the ATRPMs repo maintained by Axel Thimm hasn't seen much activity lately and the task of updating a source RPM is more than I have time for as a busy developer who does systems admin on the side. Could anybody recommend another repo where there would be the latest Dovecot binaries? Or perhaps tell me of any gotchas and catches which might arise if I go ahead and build 2.2.12 from source over the RPM I currently have installed (2.2.10)? Thanks. -- --Asai
