Hi all! I've got problem with results returned by doveadm fetch. The are random and incorrect. I'll try show you: - trying to fetch emails with both: nonexistent header name and non existent value of header name: -- doveadm fetch -u user@domain uid HEADER X-Sasdasdsendasasdasdasdasaer XXtuxie |grep -c uid 0 - trying to fetch email with: non existent header name and existent value of header (value exists usually in header X-Sender) -- # doveadm fetch -u user@domain uid HEADER X-Sasdasdsendasasdasdasdasaer tuxie |grep -c uid 13743 second search: -- # doveadm fetch -u user@domain uid HEADER X-Sasdasdsendasasdasdasdasaer tuxie |grep -c uid 16639 another search with the same criteria: -- doveadm fetch -u user@domain uid HEADER X-Sasdasdsendasasdasdasdasaer tuxie |grep -c uid 20296 so the number of fetched emails is random and none of them contains such header: -- # doveadm fetch -u user@domain hdr HEADER X-Sasdasdsendasasdasdasdasaer tuxie |grep -c X-Sasdasdsendasasdasdasdasaer 0 - now I'm searching for email with existent header contained existent value: -- # doveadm fetch -u user@domain uid HEADER X-Sender tuxie |grep -c uid 50699 second search: -- # doveadm fetch -u user@domain uid HEADER X-Sender tuxie |grep -c uid 50375 It looks for me that searching is done only for value of header not for both header name with given value. Next I turn off fts_squat in config and now results are correct. If someone uses doevadm expunge with fts_squat should be carefull. I just tried fts_lucene - no problem. Regards, Marcin

Initialization Failed:

Hi dovecotters I am trying to install dovecot on a mail server I am provisioning for myself in AWS. I am following an ArsTechnica guide, and at some stage in the process the author recommends and provides instructions to configure Dovecot (http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2014/03/taking-e-mail-back-pa…) So, now I have it installed and configured (I believe the way suggested) but when I try to connect via IMAP I am getting an error. If I try : root@ip-10-0-0-244:~# telnet mail.myactualdomain.com 143 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to mail.myactualdomain.com. Escape character is '^]'. * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN] Dovecot (Ubuntu) ready. a1 LOGIN brian(a)myactualdomain.com plaintextpassword * BYE Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. Connection closed by foreign host. root@ip-10-0-0-244:~# If I go to /var/log/syslog I can see the following lines: Oct 31 05:31:06 ip-10-0-0-244 dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<brian(a)myactualdomain.com>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, mpid=16934, secured, session=<oCTO2V8jUwB/AAAB> Oct 31 05:31:06 ip-10-0-0-244 dovecot: imap(brian(a)myactualdomain.com): Error: user brian(a)myactualdomain.com: Initialization failed: Namespace '': Unknown setting: /var/mail/vmail/myactualdomain.com/brian/mail Oct 31 05:31:06 ip-10-0-0-244 dovecot: imap(brian(a)myactualdomain.com): Error: Invalid user settings. Refer to server log for more information. root@ip-10-0-0-244:~# dovecot --version 2.2.9 So, I don't know why it's giving me an error about : Initialization failed: Namespace '': Unknown setting: /var/mail/vmail/myactualdomain.com/brian/mail The location is there, with the permissions with I believe the correct permissions. I'm a bit stuck as to where to even go from here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
