mmap_disable=yes not honored always
by Peter Benko 06 Dec '15

06 Dec '15

<Sorry for the resend, it seems that the formatting of my original mail got garbled> Hi all, I'm experimenting with having the mail store on a 9p file system that lacks mmap() functionality. So I disabled it in dovecot: mmap_disable = yes However, I keep getting the following error messages in my log: Oct 15 16:55:00 computer-name dovecot: imap user(a)domain.com[192.168.1.3] Error: mmap() failed with file /mail/mailboxes/domain.com/user/indexpvt-accounts/other-user/mailboxes/INBOX/dovecot.index.pvt.log: Invalid argument I only get those messages for the shared folder's private indexes. This setup works perfectly on an ext2/3/4 fs. Any opinions, is this a bug? Is mmap_disable not mandatory for all operations? Best regards, Peter

[PATCH] [dovecot 2.2.9] Quota warnings ignored with FS quotas
by Grzegorz Nosek 06 Dec '15

06 Dec '15

Hi all, I noticed that in some circumstances quota warnings are ignored. The bug arises when both of the following are used: 1. percentage-based quota warnings, i.e.: quota_warning = storage=1%% quota-warning 1 %u 2. filesystem quota backend (and probably others, except for quotas configured directly in dovecot config) Percentage-based quota warnings have rule.bytes_limit recalculated based on root_set->default_rule.bytes_limit, however this value is zero when FS quotas are in use. Real quota values (from quotactl) are fetched very late, in quota_warnings_execute() but at that point no recalculation happens. As the warning rules have bytes_limit==0, they're effectively ignored. The patch below enables quota warnings to be sent when using filesystem (and possibly maildirsize-based) quotas. Based and tested on Ubuntu 14.04's dovecot 2.2.9. Best regards, Grzegorz Nosek diff --git a/src/plugins/quota/quota.c b/src/plugins/quota/quota.c index adbd70d..8e4d7e0 100644 --- a/src/plugins/quota/quota.c +++ b/src/plugins/quota/quota.c @@ -1163,6 +1163,8 @@ static void quota_warnings_execute(struct quota_transaction_context *ctx, &count_current, &count_limit) < 0) return; + quota_root_recalculate_relative_rules(root->set, bytes_limit, count_limit); + bytes_before = bytes_current - ctx->bytes_used; count_before = count_current - ctx->count_used; for (i = 0; i < count; i++) {

SIS attachments compressed
by Juan Carlos Sanchez 06 Dec '15

06 Dec '15

Hello: In case it is defined to use zlib compression, does SIS save attachments compressed? I have found this question replied in the past (2012) and the answer was NO. I ask again just to know if there have been changes or if it is in the roadmap to add compression. I have been testing to migrate from maildir+zlib to mdbox+zlib+sis and the results, in terms of space used, and worst than using just mdbox+zlib (without SIS), and suppose the reason in the lack of compression in attachments. Thanks in advance. -- ------------------------------------------------------ Juan Carlos Sanchez Hernandez Responsable de Seguridad y Correo Electronico Servicio de Planificacion Informatica y Comunicaciones Universidad Politecnica de Madrid Rectorado Avda.

Let lmtp create target directories
by martin f krafft 01 Dec '15

Hello, we're using vmm¹ to manage our postfix+dovecot virtual mail setup, which allows us to give every virtual user a separate EUID and every domain a separate EGID for additional security (vs. handling all virtual mail with a single "vmail" user). As a consequence, however, vmm must itself create the user directories with the appropriate owners, and to do so, it requires root rights. I am trying to investigate getting rid of this need³. Since Dovecot quite happily creates ~/Maildir when necessary, couldn't it also create parents? The home directory should be trivial (same EUID/EGID), but grandparents etc. might need a different policy (e.g. 0/EGID for the grandparent, 0/0 for great-grandparents, etc.). Is this something that could fall within the realm of Dovecot's lmtp? Or is the lmtp invoked as the user and doesn't actually drop root? If so, might there be another way? ¹) http://vmm.localdomain.org/² ²) Hallo Pascal ³) http://bugs.debian.org/804382 Thanks, -- @martinkrafft | http://madduck.net/ | http://two.sentenc.es/ "perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away." -- antoine de saint-exupéry spamtraps: madduck.bogus(a)madduck.net

Sieve, shared folders, different daemons
by Frido Otten 01 Dec '15

Hi, In our dovecot setup we use 3 different config files. One for maildropping(sieve), one for dovecot/imap on standard ports with ssl config and one for dovecot/imap on standard ports+1 with a different ssl certificate. Currently the client using the standard port+1 config wants to make use of shared folders, but the thing is that the current namespace separator in all configs is '.'. This is conflicting with shared folders. Can we simply run one of the dovecot/imap daemons configured with a different separator and shared folders without having impact on sieve and the current connected users to the standard ports? Regards, Frido
