Basic question about file permissions for sieve error log
by J Doe 02 Aug '18

Hello, I have an admittedly very basic question, but I am not able to get it to work. I store my global sieve script in: /etc/dovecot. I recently made a mistake in my global sieve script which causes Dovecot to attempt to log the errors in: /etc/dovecot/sieve-global.log In /var/log/dovecot.log I see: Jul 24 15:33:32 lmtp(test(a)example.com): Error: ABVWGAx/V1uKLAAA1B5X9w: sieve: failed to open logfile (LOGGING TO STDERR): open(/etc/dovecot/sieve-global.log) failed: Permission denied (euid=5000(vmail) egid=5000(vmail) missing +w perm: /etc/dovecot, we're not in group 122(dovecot), dir owned by 0:122 mode=0775) …but the group membership shows: $ sudo -u vmail groups vmail dovecot …and I restarted Dovecot, but the same error happens. What am I doing wrong ? Thanks, - J

Hey I got a server setup where the Postfix and dovecot is on separated servers. In the postfis log is goes like this on mail in: Jul 26 10:23:13 edimailsl2 postfix/smtpd[12812]: 41blTs18Bzz40nl: client=unknown[172.0.0.12] Jul 26 10:23:21 edimailsl2 postfix/cleanup[12825]: 41blTs18Bzz40nl: message-id=<> Jul 26 10:23:21 edimailsl2 postfix/qmgr[10666]: 41blTs18Bzz40nl: from=<tk(a)multimed.dk>, size=225, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Jul 26 10:23:21 edimailsl2 postfix/lmtp[12827]: 41blTs18Bzz40nl: to=<test(a)domain.dk>, relay=172.26.248.178[172.26.248.178]:2003, delay=8.6, delays=8.5/0.06/0.01/0.08, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 <test(a)domain.dk> oCuyJ/mEWVvFfwAAbOxY/Q Saved) Jul 26 10:23:21 edimailsl2 postfix/qmgr[10666]: 41blTs18Bzz40nl: removed And the LMTP on the Dovecot server is: Jul 26 10:23:21 vanslmtpsl1 dovecot: lmtp(32709): Connect from 172.0.0.1 Jul 26 10:23:21 vanslmtpsl1 dovecot: lmtp(test@ domain.dk): msgid=unspecified: saved mail to INBOX Jul 26 10:23:21 vanslmtpsl1 dovecot: lmtp(32709): Disconnect from 172.0.0.1: Successful quit How can I make LMTP log the ID it gives postfix (oCuyJ/mEWVvFfwAAbOxY/Q)? So I can relate the logs from the 2 servers.

question about using procmail
by Joe Wong 01 Aug '18

01 Aug '18

Hello, I am new to Dovecot, testing the setup with Solr FTS plugin. Currently I am using procmail to delivery email into user's mailbox. I am using maildir on file system. I found that if email is delivered via procmail, the indexer-worker is not being called. But when I move the email between folders via IMAP, indexer is involved. Is this expected? - Joe
