macOS ManageSieve client?
by Gerben Wierda 06 Apr '22

06 Apr '22

I have a dovecot & dovecot-sieve running under MacPorts on my macOS ’server’. I do a very low tech maintenance on sieve, by using the cli on the server and edit sieve by hand for myself. I’d like to open this up to other users. How do people use this from their macOS clients? For this, the ManageSieve protocol exists and this is implemented by dovecot-sieve, but other than installing roundcube and offering a web-based mail client that also supports ManageSieve, is there another way? A ManageSieve client that directly runs on the macOS client and interfaces with dovecot-sieve on the server? After all, routing mail to different mailboxes better happens server-side so that all clients profit.

Hi I've recently tried to use the Dovecadm backup to backup the emails.. with the following syntax doveadm -Dv backup -u userx maildir:/mnt/nfs-backup/userx Sounds to be OK with few emails... Some of them got a lot of emails and one f them got an error and stop ! dsync(userx): Debug: brain S: Import Trash: Import change type=expunge GUID=1725fa475d774ee19cb98dfb6737b4f1 UID=24891 hdr_hash= result=GUIDs match dsync(userx): Debug: brain S: Import Trash: Import change type=expunge GUID=916ed110b4b1522868be6194f1ae36ff UID=24892 hdr_hash= result=GUIDs match dsync(userx): Debug: brain S: Import Trash: Import change type=expunge GUID=eb8d75c530a7b02fc26b494d9006c91b UID=24893 hdr_hash= result=GUIDs match dsync(userx): Debug: brain S: Import Trash: Import change type=expunge GUID=aee9155875c34861fd6500f1f2f51a26 UID=24894 hdr_hash= result=GUIDs match dsync(userx): Debug: brain S: Import Trash: Last common UID=24894.

Private \seen flags lost during message move for other users
by Cube . 28 Mar '22

28 Mar '22

Hello, I have a shared mailbox set up with a private index: maildir:/var/mail/public:INDEXPVT=~/Maildir/public Per user \Seen flags are working fine until one user moves a message into another folder/sub-mailbox. For that user doing the move the message remains \Seen however for other users who have already seen the message the flag is lost and it appears unread in the new location. If the message is moved back it still appears unread to the other user even if had been read in that folder/sub-mailbox in the past. Is there anyway to retain per user \Seen that follows the message when its moved? Thank you.

imap_metadata plugin panic
by Elisamuel Resto 23 Mar '22

23 Mar '22

Hello, This may be covered somewhere but recently I enabled the metadata plugin to work with sieve as part of some updates I did a while back and I hadn't checked my logs for any issues with it and so far they're not completely taking my system down. Right now, upon trying to delete a folder I noticed the following in my logs... what am I missing? I see the broken SQL query, but I don't know enough about the dict system or the metadata plugin to know how to add the missing information or fix it otherwise. Regards, Elisamuel Resto Nov 15 12:19:19 wyvern dovecot[461]: dict(51438): Panic: lib-sql: Too many bind args (2) for statement: SELECT meta_key FROM metadata WHERE meta_key LIKE AND username = ?

Issue in 2.3.18 with fts_header_excludes/includes
by Alessio Cecchi 03 Mar '22

03 Mar '22

Hi, I'm still doing some test with fts-flatcurve, after updating to 2.3.18 I enabled: fts_header_excludes = * fts_header_includes = From To Cc Bcc Subject Message-ID but when I try to re-index all messages with FTS flatcurve the fts-flatcurve/ folder inside the Maildir/ become huge. Taking for example a Maildir with cur folder of 1.1G the related fts-flatcurve folder passed from 140M to 2.2G. After remove fts_header_excludes/includes config options, and re-index all messages, the fts-flatcurve/ size return to normal size. Is an issue? Thanks -- Alessio Cecchi Postmaster @http://www.qboxmail.it https://www.linkedin.com/in/alessice

General Locking & Replication Issues
by Paul Kudla (Scom.ca Internet Services Inc.) 28 Feb '22

28 Feb '22

Ok I am running two dovecot servers and feel pretty close to getting things resolved config wise there are however 2 or 3 issues that all seem to be related i have enclosed FULL config files for both mail18.scom.ca & mail19.scom.ca I have a private network that is used for the replication (10.221.0.0/24) - port 12345 is blocked by pf firewall from outside. I am running freebsd 12.1 and built one server and then raid copied it to the second (mail19) so all the ports / builds etc are identical I did start with dovecot-2.3.14 but pigeonhole would not build on freebsd (thanks for that advice / reply )until upgrade to dovecot-2.3.18 dovecot-2.3.18 was built and installed on both servers along with a good build (freebsd build error was fixed after upgrading) dovecot-2.3-pigeonhole-0.5.18 please note that the second mailserver (mail19) is on an nfs share dedicated to the server (i am awaiting sdram drives to replace this issue) but since i am getting errors on both servers i feel nfs share is not the issue (and yes i enabled dlock) mail18 is on normal sdram drives (more of an fyi as i dont think this is the issue) neither mail server is connected to the other in any kind of a shared way - other then replication postfix should be delivering via : pipe -n dovecot -t unix flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -f ${sender} -d ${recipient} Replication only works properly at startup (ie the mail boxes do sync), afterwhich nothing seems to trigger the differences between the servers to update (notify i believe) manually running : [05:04:46] mail18.scom.ca [root:0] /usr/local/etc/dovecot # doveadm sync -u paul(a)scom.ca remote:10.221.0.19 & [05:21:18] mail19.scom.ca [root:0] /usr/local/etc/dovecot # doveadm sync -u paul(a)scom.ca remote:10.221.0.18 does seem to work but with mixed results. I also included postfix main.cf & master.cf as well as some googling has indicated the file locking may be on the postfix side ?? Also more then happy to donate just can not figure out how ??? so that being said : General logging errors are as follows ?

To find these documents, use # the command "postconf html_directory readme_directory", or go to # http://www.postfix.org/. # # For best results, change no more than 2-3 parameters at a time, # and test if Postfix still works after every change. alternate_config_directories = /usr/home/postfix/config data_directory = /var/lib/postfix.local maillog_file = /var/log/postfix.local compatibility_level=2 #compatibility_level=3.6 # SOFT BOUNCE # # The soft_bounce parameter provides a limited safety net for # testing. When soft_bounce is enabled, mail will remain queued that # would otherwise bounce. This parameter disables locally-generated # bounces, and prevents the SMTP server from rejecting mail permanently # (by changing 5xx replies into 4xx replies). However, soft_bounce # is no cure for address rewriting mistakes or mail routing mistakes. # soft_bounce = no #relayhost = 216.106.96.23 # LOCAL PATHNAME INFORMATION # # The queue_directory specifies the location of the Postfix queue. # This is also the root directory of Postfix daemons that run chrooted. # See the files in examples/chroot-setup for setting up Postfix chroot # environments on different UNIX systems. # queue_directory = /usr/home/postfix.local # The command_directory parameter specifies the location of all # postXXX commands. # command_directory = /usr/local/sbin # The daemon_directory parameter specifies the location of all Postfix # daemon programs (i.e. programs listed in the master.cf file). This # directory must be owned by root. # daemon_directory = /usr/local/libexec/postfix # QUEUE AND PROCESS OWNERSHIP # # The mail_owner parameter specifies the owner of the Postfix queue # and of most Postfix daemon processes. Specify the name of a user # account THAT DOES NOT SHARE ITS USER OR GROUP ID WITH OTHER ACCOUNTS # AND THAT OWNS NO OTHER FILES OR PROCESSES ON THE SYSTEM. In # particular, don't specify nobody or daemon. PLEASE USE A DEDICATED # USER. # mail_owner = postfix # The default_privs parameter specifies the default rights used by # the local delivery agent for delivery to external file or command. # These rights are used in the absence of a recipient user context. # DO NOT SPECIFY A PRIVILEGED USER OR THE POSTFIX OWNER. # #default_privs = nobody # INTERNET HOST AND DOMAIN NAMES # # The myhostname parameter specifies the internet hostname of this # mail system. The default is to use the fully-qualified domain name # from gethostname(). $myhostname is used as a default value for many # other configuration parameters. # #myhostname = localhost myhostname = mail19.scom.ca # The mydomain parameter specifies the local internet domain name. # The default is to use $myhostname minus the first component. # $mydomain is used as a default value for many other configuration # parameters. # #mydomain = localhost mydomain = mail19.scom.ca # SENDING MAIL # # The myorigin parameter specifies the domain that locally-posted # mail appears to come from. The default is to append $myhostname, # which is fine for small sites. If you run a domain with multiple # machines, you should (1) change this to $mydomain and (2) set up # a domain-wide alias database that aliases each user to # user(a)that.users.mailhost. # # For the sake of consistency between sender and recipient addresses, # myorigin also specifies the default domain name that is appended # to recipient addresses that have no @domain part. # myorigin = $myhostname #myorigin = $mydomain # RECEIVING MAIL # The inet_interfaces parameter specifies the network interface # addresses that this mail system receives mail on. By default, # the software claims all active interfaces on the machine. The # parameter also controls delivery of mail to user(a)[ip.address]. # # See also the proxy_interfaces parameter, for network addresses that # are forwarded to us via a proxy or network address translator. # # Note: you need to stop/start Postfix when this parameter changes. # inet_interfaces = 127.0.0.1 #inet_interfaces = $myhostname #inet_interfaces = $myhostname, localhost, 76.74.132.2 #inet_interfaces = mail.dsl.scom.ca, dsl.scom.ca # The proxy_interfaces parameter specifies the network interface # addresses that this mail system receives mail on by way of a # proxy or network address translation unit. This setting extends # the address list specified with the inet_interfaces parameter. # # You must specify your proxy/NAT addresses when your system is a # backup MX host for other domains, otherwise mail delivery loops # will happen when the primary MX host is down. # #proxy_interfaces = #proxy_interfaces = 1.2.3.4 # The mydestination parameter specifies the list of domains that this # machine considers itself the final destination for. # # These domains are routed to the delivery agent specified with the # local_transport parameter setting. By default, that is the UNIX # compatible delivery agent that lookups all recipients in /etc/passwd # and /etc/aliases or their equivalent. # # The default is $myhostname + localhost.$mydomain. On a mail domain # gateway, you should also include $mydomain. # # Do not specify the names of virtual domains - those domains are # specified elsewhere (see VIRTUAL_README). # # Do not specify the names of domains that this machine is backup MX # host for. Specify those names via the relay_domains settings for # the SMTP server, or use permit_mx_backup if you are lazy (see # STANDARD_CONFIGURATION_README). # # The local machine is always the final destination for mail addressed # to user(a)[the.net.work.address] of an interface that the mail system # receives mail on (see the inet_interfaces parameter). # # Specify a list of host or domain names, /file/name or type:table # patterns, separated by commas and/or whitespace. A /file/name # pattern is replaced by its contents; a type:table is matched when # a name matches a lookup key (the right-hand side is ignored). # Continue long lines by starting the next line with whitespace. # # See also below, section "REJECTING MAIL FOR UNKNOWN LOCAL USERS". # #mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, $mydomain #mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, $mydomain, # mail.$mydomain, www.$mydomain, ftp.$mydomain # REJECTING MAIL FOR UNKNOWN LOCAL USERS # # The local_recipient_maps parameter specifies optional lookup tables # with all names or addresses of users that are local with respect # to $mydestination, $inet_interfaces or $proxy_interfaces. # # If this parameter is defined, then the SMTP server will reject # mail for unknown local users. This parameter is defined by default. # # To turn off local recipient checking in the SMTP server, specify # local_recipient_maps = (i.e. empty). # # The default setting assumes that you use the default Postfix local # delivery agent for local delivery. You need to update the # local_recipient_maps setting if: # # - You define $mydestination domain recipients in files other than # /etc/passwd, /etc/aliases, or the $virtual_alias_maps files. # For example, you define $mydestination domain recipients in # the $virtual_mailbox_maps files. # # - You redefine the local delivery agent in master.cf. # # - You redefine the "local_transport" setting in main.cf. # # - You use the "luser_relay", "mailbox_transport", or "fallback_transport" # feature of the Postfix local delivery agent (see local(8)). # # Details are described in the LOCAL_RECIPIENT_README file. # # Beware: if the Postfix SMTP server runs chrooted, you probably have # to access the passwd file via the proxymap service, in order to # overcome chroot restrictions. The alternative, having a copy of # the system passwd file in the chroot jail is just not practical. # # The right-hand side of the lookup tables is conveniently ignored. # In the left-hand side, specify a bare username, an @domain.tld # wild-card, or specify a user(a)domain.tld address. # local_recipient_maps = unix:passwd.byname $alias_maps #local_recipient_maps = proxy:unix:passwd.byname $alias_maps #local_recipient_maps = # The unknown_local_recipient_reject_code specifies the SMTP server # response code when a recipient domain matches $mydestination or # ${proxy,inet}_interfaces, while $local_recipient_maps is non-empty # and the recipient address or address local-part is not found. # # The default setting is 550 (reject mail) but it is safer to start # with 450 (try again later) until you are certain that your # local_recipient_maps settings are OK. # #unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 450 #Set by Mailscanner # TRUST AND RELAY CONTROL # The mynetworks parameter specifies the list of "trusted" SMTP # clients that have more privileges than "strangers". # # In particular, "trusted" SMTP clients are allowed to relay mail # through Postfix. See the smtpd_recipient_restrictions parameter # in postconf(5). # # You can specify the list of "trusted" network addresses by hand # or you can let Postfix do it for you (which is the default). # # By default (mynetworks_style = subnet), Postfix "trusts" SMTP # clients in the same IP subnetworks as the local machine. # On Linux, this does works correctly only with interfaces specified # with the "ifconfig" command. # # Specify "mynetworks_style = class" when Postfix should "trust" SMTP # clients in the same IP class A/B/C networks as the local machine. # Don't do this with a dialup site - it would cause Postfix to "trust" # your entire provider's network. Instead, specify an explicit # mynetworks list by hand, as described below. # # Specify "mynetworks_style = host" when Postfix should "trust" # only the local machine. # #mynetworks_style = class #mynetworks_style = subnet #mynetworks_style = host # Alternatively, you can specify the mynetworks list by hand, in # which case Postfix ignores the mynetworks_style setting. # # Specify an explicit list of network/netmask patterns, where the # mask specifies the number of bits in the network part of a host # address. # # You can also specify the absolute pathname of a pattern file instead # of listing the patterns here. Specify type:table for table-based lookups # (the value on the table right-hand side is not used). # mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 65.39.148.0/26 10.220.0.0/16 10.221.0.0/16 #mynetworks = $config_directory/mynetworks #mynetworks = hash:/usr/local/etc/postfix/network_table # The relay_domains parameter restricts what destinations this system will # relay mail to. See the smtpd_recipient_restrictions description in # postconf(5) for detailed information. # # By default, Postfix relays mail # - from "trusted" clients (IP address matches $mynetworks) to any destination, # - from "untrusted" clients to destinations that match $relay_domains or # subdomains thereof, except addresses with sender-specified routing. # The default relay_domains value is $mydestination. # # In addition to the above, the Postfix SMTP server by default accepts mail # that Postfix is final destination for: # - destinations that match $inet_interfaces or $proxy_interfaces, # - destinations that match $mydestination # - destinations that match $virtual_alias_domains, # - destinations that match $virtual_mailbox_domains. # These destinations do not need to be listed in $relay_domains. # # Specify a list of hosts or domains, /file/name patterns or type:name # lookup tables, separated by commas and/or whitespace. Continue # long lines by starting the next line with whitespace. A file name # is replaced by its contents; a type:name table is matched when a # (parent) domain appears as lookup key. # # NOTE: Postfix will not automatically forward mail for domains that # list this system as their primary or backup MX host. See the # permit_mx_backup restriction description in postconf(5). # relay_domains = $mydestination # INTERNET OR INTRANET # The relayhost parameter specifies the default host to send mail to # when no entry is matched in the optional transport(5) table. When # no relayhost is given, mail is routed directly to the destination. # # On an intranet, specify the organizational domain name. If your # internal DNS uses no MX records, specify the name of the intranet # gateway host instead. # # In the case of SMTP, specify a domain, host, host:port, [host]:port, # [address] or [address]:port; the form [host] turns off MX lookups. # # If you're connected via UUCP, see also the default_transport parameter. # #relayhost = [gateway.my.domain] #relayhost = [mailserver.isp.tld] #relayhost = uucphost #relayhost = [an.ip.add.ress] # REJECTING UNKNOWN RELAY USERS # # The relay_recipient_maps parameter specifies optional lookup tables # with all addresses in the domains that match $relay_domains. # # If this parameter is defined, then the SMTP server will reject # mail for unknown relay users. This feature is off by default. # # The right-hand side of the lookup tables is conveniently ignored. # In the left-hand side, specify an @domain.tld wild-card, or specify # a user(a)domain.tld address. # #relay_recipient_maps = hash:/usr/local/etc/postfix/relay_recipients # INPUT RATE CONTROL # # The in_flow_delay configuration parameter implements mail input # flow control. This feature is turned on by default, although it # still needs further development (it's disabled on SCO UNIX due # to an SCO bug). # # A Postfix process will pause for $in_flow_delay seconds before # accepting a new message, when the message arrival rate exceeds the # message delivery rate. With the default 100 SMTP server process # limit, this limits the mail inflow to 100 messages a second more # than the number of messages delivered per second. # # Specify 0 to disable the feature. Valid delays are 0..10. # #in_flow_delay = 1s # ADDRESS REWRITING # # The ADDRESS_REWRITING_README document gives information about # address masquerading or other forms of address rewriting including # username->Firstname.Lastname mapping. # ADDRESS REDIRECTION (VIRTUAL DOMAIN) # # The VIRTUAL_README document gives information about the many forms # of domain hosting that Postfix supports. # "USER HAS MOVED" BOUNCE MESSAGES # # See the discussion in the ADDRESS_REWRITING_README document. # TRANSPORT MAP # # See the discussion in the ADDRESS_REWRITING_README document. # ALIAS DATABASE # # The alias_maps parameter specifies the list of alias databases used # by the local delivery agent. The default list is system dependent. # # On systems with NIS, the default is to search the local alias # database, then the NIS alias database. See aliases(5) for syntax # details. # # If you change the alias database, run "postalias /etc/aliases" (or # wherever your system stores the mail alias file), or simply run # "newaliases" to build the necessary DBM or DB file. # # It will take a minute or so before changes become visible. Use # "postfix reload" to eliminate the delay. # #alias_maps = dbm:/etc/aliases alias_maps = hash:/usr/home/postfix/config/aliases #alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases, nis:mail.aliases #alias_maps = netinfo:/aliases # The alias_database parameter specifies the alias database(s) that # are built with "newaliases" or "sendmail -bi". This is a separate # configuration parameter, because alias_maps (see above) may specify # tables that are not necessarily all under control by Postfix. # #alias_database = dbm:/etc/aliases #alias_database = dbm:/etc/mail/aliases alias_database = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases #alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases, hash:/opt/majordomo/aliases # ADDRESS EXTENSIONS (e.g., user+foo) # # The recipient_delimiter parameter specifies the separator between # user names and address extensions (user+foo). See canonical(5), # local(8), relocated(5) and virtual(5) for the effects this has on # aliases, canonical, virtual, relocated and .forward file lookups. # Basically, the software tries user+foo and .forward+foo before # trying user and .forward. # recipient_delimiter = + # DELIVERY TO MAILBOX # # The home_mailbox parameter specifies the optional pathname of a # mailbox file relative to a user's home directory. The default # mailbox file is /var/spool/mail/user or /var/mail/user. Specify # "Maildir/" for qmail-style delivery (the / is required). # #home_mailbox = Mailbox #home_mailbox = Maildir/ # The mail_spool_directory parameter specifies the directory where # UNIX-style mailboxes are kept. The default setting depends on the # system type. # #mail_spool_directory = /var/mail # The mailbox_command parameter specifies the optional external # command to use instead of mailbox delivery. The command is run as # the recipient with proper HOME, SHELL and LOGNAME environment settings. # Exception: delivery for root is done as $default_user. # # Other environment variables of interest: USER (recipient username), # EXTENSION (address extension), DOMAIN (domain part of address), # and LOCAL (the address localpart). # # Unlike other Postfix configuration parameters, the mailbox_command # parameter is not subjected to $parameter substitutions. This is to # make it easier to specify shell syntax (see example below). # # Avoid shell meta characters because they will force Postfix to run # an expensive shell process. Procmail alone is expensive enough. # # IF YOU USE THIS TO DELIVER MAIL SYSTEM-WIDE, YOU MUST SET UP AN # ALIAS THAT FORWARDS MAIL FOR ROOT TO A REAL USER. # #mailbox_command = /some/where/procmail #mailbox_command = /some/where/procmail -a "$EXTENSION" # The mailbox_transport specifies the optional transport in master.cf # to use after processing aliases and .forward files. This parameter # has precedence over the mailbox_command, fallback_transport and # luser_relay parameters. # # Specify a string of the form transport:nexthop, where transport is # the name of a mail delivery transport defined in master.cf. The # :nexthop part is optional. For more details see the sample transport # configuration file. # # NOTE: if you use this feature for accounts not in the UNIX password # file, then you must update the "local_recipient_maps" setting in # the main.cf file, otherwise the SMTP server will reject mail for # non-UNIX accounts with "User unknown in local recipient table". # mailbox_transport = dovecot # The fallback_transport specifies the optional transport in master.cf # to use for recipients that are not found in the UNIX passwd database. # This parameter has precedence over the luser_relay parameter. # # Specify a string of the form transport:nexthop, where transport is # the name of a mail delivery transport defined in master.cf. The # :nexthop part is optional.

By default, mail for unknown@$mydestination, # unknown@[$inet_interfaces] or unknown@[$proxy_interfaces] is returned # as undeliverable. # # The following expansions are done on luser_relay: $user (recipient # username), $shell (recipient shell), $home (recipient home directory), # $recipient (full recipient address), $extension (recipient address # extension), $domain (recipient domain), $local (entire recipient # localpart), $recipient_delimiter. Specify ${name?value} or # ${name:value} to expand value only when $name does (does not) exist. # # luser_relay works only for the default Postfix local delivery agent. # # NOTE: if you use this feature for accounts not in the UNIX password # file, then you must specify "local_recipient_maps =" (i.e. empty) in # the main.cf file, otherwise the SMTP server will reject mail for # non-UNIX accounts with "User unknown in local recipient table". # #luser_relay = $user(a)other.host #luser_relay = $local(a)other.host #luser_relay = admin+$local # JUNK MAIL CONTROLS # # The controls listed here are only a very small subset. The file # SMTPD_ACCESS_README provides an overview. # The header_checks parameter specifies an optional table with patterns # that each logical message header is matched against, including # headers that span multiple physical lines. # # By default, these patterns also apply to MIME headers and to the # headers of attached messages. With older Postfix versions, MIME and # attached message headers were treated as body text. # # For details, see "man header_checks". # #header_checks = regexp:/usr/local/etc/postfix/header_checks #Divert to Hold Queue #header_checks = regexp:/etc/postfix/header_checks # FAST ETRN SERVICE # # Postfix maintains per-destination logfiles with information about # deferred mail, so that mail can be flushed quickly with the SMTP # "ETRN domain.tld" command, or by executing "sendmail -qRdomain.tld". # See the ETRN_README document for a detailed description. # # The fast_flush_domains parameter controls what destinations are # eligible for this service. By default, they are all domains that # this server is willing to relay mail to. # #fast_flush_domains = $relay_domains # SHOW SOFTWARE VERSION OR NOT # # The smtpd_banner parameter specifies the text that follows the 220 # code in the SMTP server's greeting banner. Some people like to see # the mail version advertised. By default, Postfix shows no version. # # You MUST specify $myhostname at the start of the text. That is an # RFC requirement. Postfix itself does not care. # #smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name #smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name ($mail_version) # PARALLEL DELIVERY TO THE SAME DESTINATION # # How many parallel deliveries to the same user or domain? With local # delivery, it does not make sense to do massively parallel delivery # to the same user, because mailbox updates must happen sequentially, # and expensive pipelines in .forward files can cause disasters when # too many are run at the same time. With SMTP deliveries, 10 # simultaneous connections to the same domain could be sufficient to # raise eyebrows. # # Each message delivery transport has its XXX_destination_concurrency_limit # parameter. The default is $default_destination_concurrency_limit for # most delivery transports. For the local delivery agent the default is 2. #local_destination_concurrency_limit = 1 #2 #default_destination_concurrency_limit = 100 #20 # DEBUGGING CONTROL # # The debug_peer_level parameter specifies the increment in verbose # logging level when an SMTP client or server host name or address # matches a pattern in the debug_peer_list parameter. # debug_peer_level = 9 # The debug_peer_list parameter specifies an optional list of domain # or network patterns, /file/name patterns or type:name tables.

I had already done both, just forgot to mention it. But i should have looked further.

Hi folks, just step into another problem and don't know why? If i try to configure dovecot with the following: > ./configure --prefix=/test/core/dovecot --with-ssldir=/test/core/dovecot/tls --with-mysql i get > ... > checking for auth_userokay... no > checking for mysql_config... NO > checking for mysql_init in -lmysqlclient... noconfigure: error: Can't build with MySQL support: libmysqlclient not found After that i've tried to configure with following: > LDFLAGS="-L/test/core/mariadb/lib" ./configure --prefix=/test/core/dovecot --with-ssldir=/test/core/dovecot/tls --with-mysql but with same result. The Content of "/test/core/mariadb/lib" is: libmariadbclient.a libmariadb.so -> libmariadb.so.3 libmariadb.so.3 libmysqlclient.a -> libmariadbclient.a libmysqlclient_r.a -> libmariadbclient.a libmysqlclient_r.so -> libmariadb.so.3 libmysqlclient.so -> libmariadb.so.3 libmysqlservices.a pkgconfigplugin Also the Path "/test/core/mariadb/lib/pkgconfig" is in the PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable and the Library-Path "/test/core/mariadb/lib" is known by the dynamic linker (/etc/ld.so.conf.d/mylibs.conf). So what am i doing wrong? My Dovecot version: 2.3.18 My Mariadb version: 10.6.5 My OS: Ubuntu 20.04

Hi John, i just want to manage all the software manually, use own directorie-structur and have all the programs in one place, deepen my understanding how these programs work and build these programs only with the components i need. The content of "/test/core/mariadb/include/mysql" is: > errmsg.h > ma_list.h > ma_pvio.h > mariadb/ > mariadb/ma_io.h > mariadb_com.h > mariadb_ctype.h > mariadb_dyncol.h > mariadb_rpl.h > mariadb_stmt.h > mariadb_version.h > ma_tls.h > my_config.h > my_global.h > mysql/ > mysql/client_plugin.h > mysql/plugin_auth_common.h > mysql/plugin_auth.h > mysql_com.h > mysqld_error.h > mysql.h > mysql_version.h > my_sys.h > server/...

email location - files or sql

I have been running a Dovecot based mail server for over 10 years and it is time (really past) to upgrade. I really don't want to roll my own anymore. Too much time and too many skills needed. Time to retire. But still want it 'in-house'. What I am seeing is that many of the packages seem to roll the messages into some SQL database. My Dovecot setup uses the /home/vmail/doman/../{cur,new,etc} tree structure. Is there any pros vs cons on this that I can read? Is there some nice packed mailserver I can drop on a Centos-arm server that has Dovecot under the covers and I can easily rsync my current mail store to it? Mail-in-a-box looks interesting. But I have not figured out its internals and if I have to worry about anything compiled for arm that is not part of the distro. Thanks in advance for help.
