[Dovecot] Plugins: virtuals vs acls
by Leho Kraav 20 Sep '16

20 Sep '16

Hi all dovecot-virtual: * all when dovecot-acl files restrict some subset of * for a user, does dovecot respect these ACLs when collecting messages for virtual folder? I'd like a confirmation about what I should be seeing when I start implementing this setup.

[Dovecot] How to disable SSL and TLSv1.1?
by Darren Pilgrim 16 Aug '16

16 Aug '16

I'm running Dovecot 2.2.5 and want to make it refuse SSLv2, SSLv3 and TLSv1.0. Clients will opportunistically use TLS 1.1 and 1.2, but now I want require they do so. Is it enough to set ssl_cipher_list = HIGH:!SSLv2:!SSLv3:!TLSv1.0:!aNULL:!MD5 or are there additional settings I need to specify?

Option to not add "Received" header ?
by Florent B 27 Apr '16

27 Apr '16

Hi everyone, I use Dovecot in lmtp mode to receive mails. I would like an option to tell Dovecot to not add a "Reveived" header on each server (I use a director, so Director also adds this header). Is it possible to do this ? Or could it be a future feature ? Thank you. Florent

help with sieve
by dovecot＠paulkoppen.com 27 Apr '16

27 Apr '16

Dear Dovecot / Pigeonhole community, I have a very specific issue, but trying to solve this for a full day, I am now getting so bold from pulling my hairs out, I thought it was time I asked for help. I hope this is a good place for that. At my hosting provider, who have been extremely helpful by the way but are not specifically skilled in Sieve, I have a catch-all address set up: *(a)domain.org (where * is literal), with a sieve script to control how messages are forwarded. Currently my rules are of the form: if address :localpart :is ["To","Cc","Bcc"] ["name1", "name2", ...] { ... } This works most of the time, but sometimes the messages are not directly addressed to me and so they slip through the filters. I figured that using envelope would solve this, so I require envelope and then do: if envelope :localpart :is "To" ["name1", "name2", ...] { ... } But this fails. After endlessly trying different combinations I figured out that the reason for failure is that the envelope believes the "To" is actually "*(a)domain.org", so it is never going to match any of the names. However, the following test succeeds: if header :contains "Envelope-To" "name1@" { ... } From this I deduce that a previous script has already done the conversion from name1 to *, and at the point where my sieve script is run the envelope picks up the *(a)domain.org address, leaving the Envelope-To header for what it is. But I am new to this. Is that likely to be the case? Is it a common sieve set-up? And most importantly, is there a better way around the issue than testing header :contains? With kind regards, Paul

Setting up replication?

I'm trying to set up replication between two servers and I've hit a snag. I have two users and am using mbox files. If anybody has a sample config file for a simple system like mine I would really be grateful to see it.

[Dovecot] Patch: 2.0 support for URLAUTH, BURL, CATENATE
by Mike Abbott 18 Apr '16

18 Apr '16

Thank you Timo for beginning the port of URLAUTH, BURL, and CATENATE from 1.2 to 2.0. Attached please find two patches that finish the port to 2.0. One patch updates the dovecot-2.0-urlauth branch and is based on the tip of that branch. The other patch adds the full support to dovecot-2.0.beta5. The resulting URLAUTH/BURL/CATENATE code is the same. Please let me know if you have any questions about these patches. Thanks.

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.23.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.23.tar.gz.sig This is a bugfix-only release with various important fixes on top of v2.2.22. - Various fixes to doveadm. Especially running commands via doveadm-server was broken. - director: Fixed user weakness getting stuck in some situations - director: Fixed a situation where directors keep re-sending different states to each others and never becoming synced. - director: Fixed assert-crash related to a slow "user killed" reply - Fixed assert-crash related to istream-concat, which could have been triggered at least by a Sieve script.
