[Dovecot] search and UTF-8 normalization forms (NFD)
by Lutz Preßler 09 Jun '13

09 Jun '13

Hello, on a system with dovecot 2.2 I've got a mailbox containing multiple mails from a person called Krüger, but From: header encoded differently. Some are encoded in UTF-8 normalization form decomposed (as used by Mac OSX), that is u and umlaut accent as sperate combined codepoints instead of one ü: From: =?utf-8?Q?replaced_Kru=CC=88ger?= <krueger(a)some.domain> Searching within roundcube webmail for "krüger" as sender missis this mails. Roundcube sends (dovecot rawlog): A0003 UID THREAD REFS UTF-8 ALL HEADER FROM {7+}krüger Is this supposed to work? Haven't done any more debugging (other search variants) or read RFCs. As a user I would expect Unicode equivalence rules be applied (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_equivalence) Regards, Lutz

[Dovecot] Question on Director setup
by Joe Wong 07 Jun '13

07 Jun '13

Hello, I am following the wiki page to setup 2 IMAP servers Director. in each server, I have created 2 sets of dovecot config file where the first set is for imap proxy with director the second set is for the imap backend after this, I attempt to login IMAP through the imap-proxy on any machine with several users. from the log, all users always go to the same IMAP backend in Server 2, I don't see any user go to the IMAP backend in Server 1 at all. What could be the problem I have ? - Joe

[Dovecot] Dovecot IMAP

This is my first experience of the mail server. Set up a mail server from Postfix + Dovecot with the MySQL authorization. When you create a new user dovecot makes strange folder structure: the 'inbox' contains 'juncus', 'tash', 'sent' etc. ie 'sent' and other folders are subdir to the 'inbox'. My result: 04 LIST "" "*" * LIST (\HasChildren) "." "INBOX" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.Trash" I want: 04 LIST "" "*" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "Trash" # dovecot --version 2.1.7 # dovecot -n # 2.1.7: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 x86_64 Debian 7.0 ext4 auth_debug = yes auth_debug_passwords = yes auth_verbose = yes auth_verbose_passwords = plain base_dir = /run/dovecot/ debug_log_path = /var/vmail/dovecot.log disable_plaintext_auth = no info_log_path = /var/vmail/dovecot.log lda_mailbox_autocreate = yes lda_mailbox_autosubscribe = yes listen = MY_IP log_path = /var/vmail/dovecot.log log_timestamp = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S " login_greeting = MAIL_DOMAIN_NAME IMAP server ready. mail_debug = yes mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir mail_plugins = " quota" namespace inbox { hidden = no inbox = yes list = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } prefix = INBOX. separator = . type = private } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } plugin { quota = maildir:User quota quota_rule = *:storage=1G quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+10%% quota_rule3 = Junk:storage=+10%% quota_rule4 = Drafts:storage=+10%% quota_warning = storage=95%% quota-warning 95 %u } postmaster_address = admin@ MAIL_DOMAIN_NAME protocols = " imap pop3" service auth-worker { executable = auth -w unix_listener auth-worker { group = mode = 0600 } } service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-master { group = vmail mode = 0600 user = vmail } unix_listener auth-userdb { group = mode = 0600 user = } user = root } service dict { unix_listener dict { group = mode = 0600 user = } } service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 0 } inet_listener imaps { port = 993 ssl = yes } process_min_avail = 0 service_count = 1 } service imap { unix_listener login/imap { group = mode = 0666 user = } } service lmtp { unix_listener lmtp { group = mode = 0666 user = } } service pop3-login { inet_listener pop3 { port = 0 } inet_listener pop3s { port = 0 ssl = yes } } service pop3 { unix_listener login/pop3 { group = mode = 0666 user = } } ssl = required ssl_ca = </etc/dovecot/MAIL_SERVER_NAME-ca.crt ssl_cert = </etc/dovecot/MAIL_SERVER_NAME .crt ssl_key = </etc/dovecot/private/MAIL_SERVER_NAME .key userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } verbose_ssl = yes protocol lda { auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master log_path = /var/vmail/dovecot-deliver.log postmaster_address = admin@ MAIL_DOMAIN_NAME } protocol imap { mail_plugins = " quota autocreate imap_quota" } How to make the imap folders 'sent', 'trash' and others were not affiliated?

[Dovecot] Load Balancing and HA
by Romer Ventura 06 Jun '13

06 Jun '13

Hello, I've been thinking about the best way to achieve load balancing and making my mail servers highly available. So far I believe I have 2 scenarios: Scenario1: This should allow any to lose any of the servers and clients still have access to their emails (although I am not sure how the indexes would react to this and sudden disconnection) - 2 Dovecot Proxy servers, using a virtual IP to where the clients will connect to from the WAN and LAN - 2 Dovecot+Postfix servers with local cache - 2 NFS servers and synced with dsync (mirror, 1 server writes to its own NFS and changes synced to the other via dsync) Scenario2: Pretty much as above on the back end. However, with this there is no way to load balance users. - 2 Dovecot+Postfix server with local cache - 2 NFS servers synced with dsync - Make use of DNS MX record priority to provide access to secondary email server Anyone care to comment?

[Dovecot] Error: Threading lost Message ID
by Oscar A. Jara 05 Jun '13

05 Jun '13

Hello everyone, I have just put in production dovecot imap and pop3 in replacement of courier in a setup of 700 accounts aprox. Dovecot release running is 1.2.16 in a Linux CentOS 5.8. Seems like some accounts are having problems dealing with message threading, as I read lines like this one in my logs: IMAP(some_user): Error: Threading lost Message ID ...and some of those accounts cannot even list the emails. I temporarily got rid of this problem deactivating threading on those accounts but I would like to solve it. I found a patch that seams to deal with this problem at http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.2/rev/76023d59c3b2 but it would be weird that CentOS wouldn't have release a patched version of the package. Am I missing something here? Thanks in advance! __________ Information from ESET Mail Security, version of virus signature database 8412 (20130604) __________ The message was checked by ESET Mail Security. http://www.eset.com

I found something interesting via strace. lda is writing a timestamp with utime before doign the fsync, but I'm really not a C guy, so I have no idea why that's going on via procmail and not via commandline.
