can't create folders under shared mailbox's INBOX

Hello, I have a namespace / ACL problem with shared mailboxes that I can't figure out. I have a local user tam(a)crm.yb.lmax that shares it's INBOX and all other folders with on LDAP group. Members of that group can't create a folder under the shared local user's INBOX: [08-Apr-2015 11:43:05 +0000]: [9501] S: * MYRIGHTS tam(a)crm.yb.lmax lrwstipekxcd [08-Apr-2015 11:43:05 +0000]: [9501] S: A0004 OK Myrights completed.

Creating the subfolder as the local user itself works fine: [08-Apr-2015 11:35:35 +0000]: [4E9C] C: A0005 CREATE INBOX/Templates [08-Apr-2015 11:35:35 +0000]: [4E9C] S: A0005 OK Create completed. However the local user creates INBOX/Templates, whereas the ldap user is creating under tam(a)crm.yb.lmax/Templates. Is this an artifact of how we've set up namespaces below?

ACL syntax for setting specified folders within Maildir/ read-only for owner
by kepa 08 Apr '15

08 Apr '15

Hi, I have dovecot (2.2.16, see dovecot -n at end) installed to /opt on CentOS 6 for access on a local network. I would like to create an archival mail account which will reduce the primary account file size and still make older emails easily accessible. How can I set specified folders in this Maildir read-only with ACL? For example, I included this in the dovecot-acl file to specify protected folders in the archives@ Maildir but it did not work: "Email 2013/*" user=archives lrs "Email 2014/*" user=archives lrs Also tried this on folders without spaces with no success (the folders were still delete-able by the user via the Thunderbird client). Each "Email..." folder has several child folders that should also be read-only. BTW, what is the maximum size for a Maildir that Dovecot can comfortably handle? Thanks!

Users can't use Dovecot IMAP

Every time a user logs into Dovcot's IMAP service PAM closes the session immediately after it opens.

Dovecot keeps creating info files in mail directory instead of home
by Jeffrey 'jf' Lim 08 Apr '15

08 Apr '15

I've been trying to troubleshoot this for a while now, and I'm really at a loss. My userdb is set up correctly to return home, and mail, and a test with 'doveadm user' verifies this: # doveadm user user@domain field value uid 1000 gid 1000 home /var/domain/user mail maildir:/var/mail/user@domain I've reloaded, restarted, stopped and started dovecot again - and even deleted the info files in the mail directory just to be sure - but each and every time I log in with imap, dovecot recreates the files again (dovecot.index.log, dovecot-uidlist, etc.) in the mail directory instead of home. I've even made sure just in case that the home directory is accessible to all, and chmod 777, but nothing gets created there. And I dont get any errors at all in the logs. I'm on the latest version (2.2.16). -jf -- He who settles on the idea of the intelligent man as a static entity only shows himself to be a fool.

Authentication with Samba using Kerberos fails
by Justin Clacherty 08 Apr '15

08 Apr '15

Hi, I've been having some problems getting GSSAPI authentication going against a samba (4.2) server and am hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I've searched through Google and haven't managed to find a solution yet. I followed the config instructions at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/Kerberos and run through the testing. Testing from the server with telnet does as expected i.e. I get the "+" after I try "a authenticate GSSAPI". However, when I go to test from Thunderbird on while logged in on a Windows PC joined to the domain authentication fails and I see the following in mail.log (I'm running Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS).

Deleting empty folders
by Samuel Williams 07 Apr '15

07 Apr '15

So, along with the problem of lots of folders ending in 1 1 1 1, I'd like to have a strategy to delete these. I was trying to understand if it is possible to use http://linux.die.net/man/1/doveadm-expunge to delete empty folders, but without also deleting messages? Is this possible and if so what is the syntax? Kind regards, Samuel

What to read about interactions
by Andrew Sullivan 07 Apr '15

07 Apr '15

Hi, TL;DR: I am having a hard time synthesizing the information I need out of the website/wiki documentation, and google isn't turning up what I need, so I'm looking for advice on what I should read next to understand the way aliases, dovecot's lmtp, and pigeonhole work together. Details below. I've been using dovecot happily for some years, but in a recent migration of my mail server I set up something that I think will be slightly easier to maintain. I now have a single (in my case postgres) database backing all user names and so on, with postfix relying on dovecot auth for user validation and delivery. I have the usual anti-spam machinery in there, and have started using the (for me new) pigeonhole implementation of sieve. (My old mail system was built around the earlier dovecot implementation, and while I've patched it over time it's really pretty creaky.) On the whole, this all seems very nice, but I'm having a hard time understanding the details of what interacts with what other bits when. In particular, my mail system is known by several different names, and I thought it'd be much handier to have everything land in one real mailbox, since I could sort the inbound mail into different mailboxes without a lot of trouble using seive. This has turned out to be slightly trickier than I thought it ought to be (procmail is in some ways easier), and I've come to the conclusion that I don't have a strong foundation in exactly how this is supposed to work. Apart from reading the code (which would probably at this point be hard enough for me so as to make it impossible), are there things I ought to read to understand this better? I've read the seive RFCs, but while that gives me a clue about what ought to happen protocol-wise, it isn't helping me at all to understand the interaction among the different subsystems so that I can see clearly how different parts of the delivery chain are interacting. I'm sure there's some crucial bit of, "Everyone knows that," that I've overlooked, and I thought it would be better to ask for the FM than just to read randomly until I stumbled on it.
