Fwd: Re: gcc -> clang

The compiler returns many warnings, and the test returns two IPv6-related errors.

doveadm + HA
by Maciej Milaszewski IQ PL 07 Jan '19

07 Jan '19

Hi I have two server directors in ring and 5 dovecot servers (2.2.36) IP for IMAP and POP3 is a VIP (keepalived) What is the best solutions to get realy HA for 5 dovecot servers ? Maby corosync+pacemeker ? But this solution is too problematic and hardcore Why I need HA ? Doveadmin is too lazy and doveadm director does not know that one machine broke down and still sends traffic

Dovecot no logs by sieve user script
by Christian Wolf 07 Jan '19

07 Jan '19

Dear mailinglist, I have the problem that I had to migrate a setup and since then my user's sieve script does no longer log anything. I have sieve_user_log unset and sieve points to a folder (ready for ManageSievev service). In the old config I had sieve point to the symlink and sieve_dir point to the folder of all scripts. As sieve_dir is deprecated I use the sieve directive only (see below). According to my understanding of https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Pigeonhole/Sieve/ Configuration this should result in user logging in ~/.dovecot.sieve.log. This file is never generated by dovecot and if I create it manually, it is not filled. Can you tell me, what I am missing here in order to get the per-user logs running? Thank you very much Christian # dovecot --version # dovecot -n # 2.2.27 (c0f36b0): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.4.16 (fed8554) # OS: Linux 4.9.0-8-amd64 x86_64 Debian 9.6 auth_mechanisms = plain login disable_plaintext_auth = no mail_location = maildir:~/Mailbox managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date index ihave duplicate mime foreverypart extracttext namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { auto = create special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { auto = subscribe special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { auto = subscribe special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = } passdb { driver = pam } passdb { args = scheme=CRYPT username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/users driver = passwd-file } plugin { sieve = file:~/sieve;active=~/.dovecot.sieve } postmaster_address = postmaster@wolf- stuttgart.net protocols = " imap sieve sieve" service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/ private/auth { mode = 0666 } } service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve { port = 4190 } } ssl = required ssl_cert = </etc/letsencrypt/live/imap/fullchain.pem ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it userdb { driver = passwd } userdb { args = username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/users driver = passwd-file } protocol lda { mail_plugins = " sieve" }

special_use folders still created
by Marc Roos 07 Jan '19

07 Jan '19

dovecot-2.2.36-3.el7.x86_64 The below configuration seems to work for Thunderbird and emclient, when moving a message to Junk. Emclient uses "Junk E-mail" and Thunderbird uses "Junk". On the server is only the file .Junk created as expected. When I move a message to Archive in Thunderbird. On the server the files .Archives and .Archives.2018 are created (Thunderbird creates a subfolder in Archives) How is this possible? On the server there is already an .Archive folder so it should create .Archive.2018 not? imap_capability = +SPECIAL-USE # drafts folders merging mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts auto = create } # archive folders merging mailbox Archive { special_use = \Archive auto = create } mailbox Archives { special_use = \Archive auto = no } # spam folders merging mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk auto = create } mailbox Spam { special_use = \Junk auto = no } mailbox "Junk E-mail" { special_use = \Junk auto = no }

reprocessing mail
by Marc Lucke 06 Jan '19

06 Jan '19

Hey guys, I had some corruptions whereby dovecot would bomb out on mail files in my maildir. I found that if piped the files to dovecot-lda the all email was clean &lost. I even retrieved email I thought might have been lost for good. I have some better ideas now, but I still processed a few thousand emails like that now & would like to do something like this: * stop dovecot * iterate over each file ** get date ** touch date (linux - to set the date/time) ** rename the file with the correct epoch ** update dovecot-uidlist with correct epoch * start dovecot Will that work? Or is there something I've missed or should do? - Marc

Sieve "OOO" configuration
by Jerry 05 Jan '19

05 Jan '19

I am able to get sieve issuing an "out of office"message correctly. However, I want to configure it to send an "OOO" message only during certain dates, say on weekends, or only between certain hours. I can do that manually; however, was wondering if there is any automatic method available that could handle this chore. Thanks! -- Jerry

I figured out they might accidentally be compressed twice - they are. How could this happen? I used this script: dovecot-maildir-compress.sh (https://gist.github.com/cviebrock/e37f80a3223dfee19051c936c5ebe509) which appends an additional flag 'Z' after processing/conmpressong the mail and only compresses those without the flag: > find=$(find "$maildir" -type f -name "*,S=*" -mtime +30 ! -name "*,*:2,*,*Z*" -printf "%f\n") ... > if echo $flags | grep ','; > then > newname=$filename"Z" > else > newname=$filename",Z" which is actually neat. Now two possible things: (1) I am not quite sure yet but my best guess is that moving messages from one folder to another (via mail client) the message looses it's 'Z' flag. (2) compressing might have failed to rename but successfully compressed the file and the another consecutive run of the script compressed the file again. How could I recursively (a) check each maildir file if e.g. the output of(zcat $file | zcat) is ASCII or !binary (b) find all mails which are compressed - i.e. valid gzip - but miss the 'Z' flag ? (c) find all mails that are valid gzip but dont contain ASCII if / dont uncompress to mail ? There are backups in place for all files I get a error for, but I want to recursively fix the problem. Any hint? Thanks in advance! -M -- info(a)awib.it

Searching small(ish) sites on ubuntu
by Dirk Koopman 05 Jan '19

05 Jan '19

I run a small dovecot site with ~5 users, some of whom have many large mailboxes. I used to use lucene until the packagers decided that it broke some licencing rules and stopped including it. I have dismally failed to configure Solr, plus it is huge and potentially exposes too many services as well. Squash is deprecated (but still used?) in 2.2+. I am currently on 2.2.33. So what can I use? Or do I have to bite the bullet and install from source, thus losing the advantages of packaging and automatic updates? Dirk
