Confusing wording on the wiki
by Alan McGinlay 24 Sep '14

24 Sep '14

Hi, I am confused by the wording of this Wiki entry: sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve The path to the user's main active Sieve script. When ManageSieve is used, this is a symbolic link pointing to the active script in the sieve_dir directory. Avoid placing the active Sieve script inside the sieve_dir directory. So this should be a link *to* the active script in the sieve_dir directory however the active script shouldn't actually be in that directory???? http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Pigeonhole/Sieve/Configuration Confused :S /A

LMTP proxying
by Ralf Hildebrandt 24 Sep '14

24 Sep '14

How exactly is LMTP proxying supposed to work? According to the example on http://wiki2.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase/ExtraFields/Proxy I'm only seeing "proxy" in the password_query statements. But LMTP never sends a password. IMAP Proxying is working OK: Sep 24 12:51:09 imap-login: Info: proxy(ralf.hildebrandt(a)charite.de): started proxying to dovecot.charite.de:993: user=<ralf.hildebrandt(a)charite.de>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured Sep 24 12:51:13 imap-login: Info: proxy(ralf.hildebrandt(a)charite.de): disconnecting 127.0.0.1 (Disconnected by server): user=<ralf.hildebrandt(a)charite.de>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured But LMTP is logging this: Sep 24 13:13:25 lmtp(17727): Info: Connect from 127.0.0.1 Sep 24 13:13:51 auth-worker(19603): Info: mysql(sql.posteo.local): Connected to database mailservice Sep 24 13:14:11 lmtp(17727, ralf.hildebrandt(a)charite.de) Info: save: box=INBOX, uid=1, msgid=, size=304 Sep 24 13:14:11 lmtp(17727, ralf.hildebrandt(a)charite.de) Info: pH2yN1WnIlQ/RQAAoQzodQ: msgid=unspecified: saved mail to INBOX Sep 24 13:14:11 dict: Info: mysql(sql.charite.de): Connected to database mailservice Sep 24 13:14:13 lmtp(17727): Info: Disconnect from 127.0.0.1: Client quit (in reset) Sep 24 13:15:29 master: Warning: Killed with signal 15 (by pid=25892 uid=0 code=kill) I read that there's no "default port for LMTP", but how can I adapt the query in such a way that the default port 24 is being used ONLY FOR LMTP?

Empty mailboxes
by Daniel Miller 24 Sep '14

24 Sep '14

This is driving me nuts. I need to rebuild a server - got a notification the main drive is failing, and it's been a year or two, so it's time. Got a new drive, fresh install of Ubuntu Tantric, started installing everything needed. Data stored on a RAID array - nicely available separate from the boot/operation drive. Did a fresh compile of Dovecot, copied over the configs from the old drive, mounted the RAID...and... Dovecot starts, authenticates users - and shows empty mailboxes. Nothing shown. Full panic - reboot on old drive. All mails present. Change back - no mail. Executing "doveadm user -u username" seems to give valid results. Mailbox location appears correct (using mdbox). I setup uid/gid the same - I thought it was a rights issue but everything looks correct. What can I do to try to find the stupid mistake I'm making? -- Daniel

quota recalc problem for big maildirs
by Dawid Stawiarski - nazwa.pl 24 Sep '14

24 Sep '14

hi, we use dovecot 2.2.13, and we've lately started using maildir quota (previously fs quota was used, right now it's "quota = maildir:User quota" changed from "quota = fs:User quota:user:inode_per_mail"). When the change was applied we didn't manually forced generating maildirsize files. So, when the first deliver happens (or the file grows larger then 5KB) it starts quota recalc. However for users with big maildirs, receiving email every couple of seconds, there are tens of delivery processes each doing its own recalc (as they open file for APPEND and there's no locking). What's even worse, after all the stats and getdents (it takes a lot of IO for 60GB account with 2M emails), deliver makes stat on 'new' dir and detects changes after which it unlinks freshly created maildirsize. So possibly this will never be finished as every process drops its own work. The same thing happened when we checked the native dovecot LMTP server (every connection has its own forked process - each running independently of the others). Is it a known unwanted "feature" of maildir quota (and we should use dict quota instead) or a bug that will be fixed? cheers, Dawid Stawiarski

Re: director
by Eduardo Ramos 23 Sep '14

The configuration use to be in /etc/dovecot, and the working dir is /var/run/dovecot. You should store your configuration file in the /etc/dovecot. The dovecot.conf file can be copied to dovecot-backend.conf and dovecot-director, for example, and you will use '-c' argument of dovecot binary to load on or another. If you do this, you will need create two separated working dir, that will be defined in base_dir on each configuration file.

This is a quick run down of my setup: 3 servers running iRedMail (this is a package that installs dovecot 2.1.7, postfix, and LDAP). All three servers share an NFS backend. The same 3 servers are also sitting behind a load balancer. What I want to do is use these three servers as directors and mail servers. So from the replies I have gotten I understand that I need to create 2 config files 1 for director and 1 for dovecot. Now my next question is do these config files need to be stored in /etc/dovecot or /var/run/dovecot?

Hello, I am currently trying to setup a cluster of mail servers. I currently have two servers I am trying to cluster together. These servers will also have a shared NFS backend.

dsync error: Error: Can't delete mailbox INBOX: INBOX can't be deleted.

Hello, I'm aware of these two threads http://www.dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2012-March/thread.html#134311 http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2012-June/thread.html#136488 but unfortunately I wasn't successful with my dsync mailbox migration attempt despite the information I could find there.

sieve redirect to foreign email gets “Relay access denied”
by Henry Stack 23 Sep '14

23 Sep '14

I have a postfix mail server with sql authentication and I want to implement sieve on it. Sieve is working relative good, rules who contain 'fileinto' are executed perfectly. The problem is the redirect to other servers. I configured a rule in Sieve to redirect any email containing "redirect" in subject to a specified foreign destination. # So practically a email coming from sender(a)live.de for the local user testuser(a)server.net should be redirected to destination(a)gmail.com when the subject contains "redirect" if header :contains ["subject"] ["redirect"] {redirect "destination(a)gmail.com"; stop;} when I test it I get the following log entry /postfix/smtpd[32114]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from mail.server.net[xx.xx.xx.xx]: 554 5.7.1 <destination(a)gmail.com>: Relay access denied; from=<sender(a)live.de> to=<destination(a)gmail.com> proto=ESMTP helo=<mail.server.net>/ How can I tell postfix to let dovecot/sieve relay the email?

Dict protocol RFC

23 Sep '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi everyone, does someone know if there is a RFC protocol description of the dict protocol that dovecot is using for auth/quota/... requests? Haven't found anything on google yet.

Announce: Plugin for iOS Push Email support
by Stefan Arentz 23 Sep '14

23 Sep '14

I’ve been hacking on a personal side project to support native iOS Push Email in Dovecot. This is specifically for people who are migrating their mail away from OS X Server while keeping their existing Push Email functionality. Native Push Email has some great advantages: it speeds up email notifications (usually within seconds of being handled by dovecot-lda) and it improves battery life since the native notifications flow over a single highly optimized connection to Apple’s infrastructure. Although this is at version 0.1, it is working pretty well for me and I am looking for some additional testers that are interested. Please note that it is not possible to use this project without legally running a copy of OS X Server. You can purchase OS X Server on the Mac App Store or download it for free if you are a registered Mac or iOS developer. This feature is enabled by two projects: https://github.com/st3fan/dovecot-xaps-plugin <https://github.com/st3fan/dovecot-xaps-plugin> https://github.com/st3fan/dovecot-xaps-daemon <https://github.com/st3fan/dovecot-xaps-daemon> Both projects contain a README that describes how to get things going. I have only developed and tested on Ubuntu 12.04.5 so ideally you run the same version if you are interested in playing with this project. You will need to compile some code and not be afraid of a little admin work. I am also interested in a code review. The Dovecot plugin API is barely documented and I had to guess a lot of things by looking at other plugins. An extra pair of eyes specifically on that code would be awesome. Also from a security perspective. Please file bugs! S.
