The gist is to copy an acl file to the .EXPUNGED mailbox when it is created, which is usually when a mail is sent, moved or deleted.

Hello all, I am seeing hundreds of lines like the one below in my mail.log from this specific IP address, which belongs to Google. Is there a way to determine why this "deferred (delivery temporarily suspended)" is happening?

EXPUNGED Folder Always Visible
by Pete Long 05 Jun '24

05 Jun '24

Hi all, I'm having a bit of a time trying to get the EXPUNGED mailbox to not display when any mail is moved or deleted. Here's what I'm running: Operating System = Debian 11.9 Dovecot = 2.3.13 MUA = Mac OS X Mail 16.0 $3774.600.62$ Here is the information I think is relevant: # cat /etc/dovecot/conf.d/50-expunge.conf namespace INBOX { mailbox EXPUNGED { autoexpunge = 7days autoexpunge_max_mails = 10000 } } mail_plugins = $mail_plugins lazy_expunge acl plugin { lazy_expunge = EXPUNGED quota_rule = EXPUNGED:ignore } # cat /etc/dovecot/conf.d/90-acl.conf [...] plugin { acl = vfile:/etc/dovecot/global-acls:cache_secs=300 } [...] # cat /etc/dovecot/global-acls/expunged.acl EXPUNGED user=masteruser lr I have also tried setting 'expunged.acl' to the following, with no ACL flags: EXPUNGED owner This version doesn't seem to do anything different but that's probably down to me. No matter what I do with this current configuration, I cannot get the EXPUNGED folder to stop showing after any deletion or move. This point aside, Dovecot's doing almost exactly what I want: all mail moved or deleted ends up in EXPUNGED; I just don't want to see it, nor anyone else with an account on my server ;) Thanks for your time and any information you can provide. Pete.

problem setting sieve_vacation_send_from_recipient = yes
by schuerbel＠vodafonemail.de 01 Jun '24

Hello, dovecot sieve sends vacation replies with an empty FROM: field by default. Sadly my provider rejects such emails. I tried to change this behavior by adding sieve_vacation_send_from_recipient = yes to the plugin section in dovecot.conf. But still vacation replies are send with empty FROM: fields. Is there any further setting i have to change ? My Version is dovecot 2.3.16 (7e2e900c1a) on Ubuntu 22.04 .
