multiple imapc settings in different namespaces
by abi＠oleane.net 22 Mar '16

22 Mar '16

hello all i assume this question must have already been asked, but i'm looking for a way to circumvent which might work specifically on my system. the version can be any available version between 2.2.9 and 2.2.22 (i'm testing with both of the above and no other ) i'm using imapc in 2 different namespaces. in both cases, the imapc_host is local, and a custom passdb program is expected to handle proxying to different servers. one of the case should proxy to a different legacy platform, and the other is used for shared mailboxes. is there any way at all to be able to tell which is which in passdb ? i don't care about the password, i can use a login prefix or suffix, different ports, different master passwords, ssl, maybe a different protocol name or auth method... somehow i've seen in the source code there is a namespace "owner" but did not manage to change this parameter. i guess it is used internally. anything else ? thanks a lot for any help you can provide best regards @abi

But the proxy seems to ignore it… Any suggestion?

sieve - editheader - edit in place
by Hajo Locke 22 Mar '16

22 Mar '16

Hello, i do some tests with sieve editheader extensions. deleteheader and addheader are working, but i noticed that new headerlines are always prepended to current header. So new lines can be found always on top. I am looking for a possibility to edit a headerline in place, without moving the new line to top of stack(replaceheader?). It is not looking good if a Subject-Line suddenly moves to top of header. Is there a possibility for me? Thanks, Hajo

doveadm sync/backup doesn't sync the metadata?
by Heiko Schlittermann 21 Mar '16

21 Mar '16

Hello, in a current migration project we want to migrate from Cyrus to Dovecot. The Cyrus server stores expiry information as ANNOTATIONS. On the Dovecot side I've set up the metadata/annotations plugin and it is working. But 'dovecot backup …' doesn't seem to sync these metadata? Did I miss something here? Shouldn't the metadata be part of the backup? (I'm using the latest 2.2.22 for sync purposes, as the stock dovecot just crashed when used as 'doveadm backup …') Best regards from Dresden/Germany Viele Grüße aus Dresden Heiko Schlittermann -- SCHLITTERMANN.de ---------------------------- internet & unix support - Heiko Schlittermann, Dipl.-Ing.

Understand the UID value in mailbox debug
by Tobi 21 Mar '16

21 Mar '16

Hi list we have a client who complains that mails from a certain sender are always put into his spamfolder. Our strong guess is that this is an issue with the webmail (Roundcube), but I need some help in understanding the output from dovecot's mailbox-debug. In order to narrow down the source of the problem we activated the mailbox-debug from Dovecot. Now we can see that the mail is moved into the spamfolder. But the strange thing is that a UID is logged which does not exist on the mailserver The following log is the "move" of the mail into the spamfolder Mar 19 11:53:57 backend3 dovecot: imap(REMOVED_FOR_PRIVACY): OmQLrmQubgDAqDIW copy from INBOX: box=INBOX.Spam, uid=58, msgid=<000601d181cd$71401940$53c04bc0$(a)bluewin.ch>, size=314585 Mar 19 11:53:57 backend3 dovecot: imap(REMOVED_FOR_PRIVACY): OmQLrmQubgDAqDIW delete: box=INBOX, uid=1614, msgid=<000601d181cd$71401940$53c04bc0$(a)bluewin.ch>, size=314585 Mar 19 11:53:57 backend3 dovecot: imapREMOVED_FOR_PRIVACY): OmQLrmQubgDAqDIW expunge: box=INBOX, uid=1614, msgid=<000601d181cd$71401940$53c04bc0$(a)bluewin.ch>, size=314585 I do not understand whose UID this is, as it does not exist on the server. Does dovecot create temporary UID or something like that? Or is it more a process ID? Thanks and regards tobi

Re: Setting up public mailboxes - user not found
by Marti Markov 20 Mar '16

20 Mar '16

Hey, I actually went with the method suggested by Steffen Kaiser of creating a separate userdb because I use LDAP and I have an OU which contains all the public mailboxes and was just easier. I setup the userdb like so: userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap-shared_mailboxes.conf.ext driver = ldap override_fields = mail=maildir:/home/vmail/Public/.%n } Now when I send an email to office3(a)xxx.com I don’t get any errors and it delivers the message to the office3(a)xxx.com: root@mail:~# ls /home/vmail/Public/.office3/new/ 1458427035.M781836P21781.mail.xxx.com,S=2571,W=2630 1458427705.M750112P23338.mail.xxx.com,S=2501,W=2559 But from any mail client I try I don’t seem to be able to list anything in the Public directory. Am I missing something in the configuration?
