[Dovecot] maildir to sdbox offline conversion
by _ET_ 19 Aug '12

19 Aug '12

Hi all. I've just installed dovecot v2.1 in a multihomed, multiinstance setup, It took me two days to convert the old v1.1 configs, now everything works like charm! But. :) I have several maildir mailboxes, I decided to use the sdbox storage type instead. I ran into difficoulties using the dsync util. My virtual users are in an OpenLDAP DB on a differnet machine, and I do not have access to the database (I can authenticate the users from ldap, but cannot change or see anything) So it's not easy to do an "online" conversion and follow the instructions at dsync's wiki. Do you know a way how to simply tell dsync or a similar util the following dsync convert maildir:/data/vmail/domain/user sdbox:/newdata/vmail/domain/user without touching the ldap database, only the files on the disk. I can run this command as root on this mail server, if it is needed, I can run the command for each and every maildir. That's not a problem. any ideas, how this wouléd be the simpliest? -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/maildir-to-sdbox-offline-conversion-tp34274589p342745… Sent from the Dovecot mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Dovecot] Dsync and SIS
by Alex Crow 19 Aug '12

19 Aug '12

Hi all, Just to clarify, if we back up a dovecot 2 server with SIS for attachments and ALT storage by rsyncing it (including the SIS and ALT storage) to a remote server when it's idle (or at least almost entirely so), and run dovecot on that machine, would it seem feasible to restore backups from that server by using dysnc - specifically for the scenario where someone accidentally deletes emails/folders etc.? I've seen queries about SIS before but nothing specifically about this scenario. Cheers Alex -- This message is intended only for the addressee and may contain confidential information.

[Dovecot] Listen on multiple ports possible using same protocol?
by Michael Durket 18 Aug '12

18 Aug '12

Is it possible to have multiple Listen directives in a dovecot configuration file for the same protocol? I am running dovecot-1.2.11 and I want to be able to use the "standard port" as well as a test port: protocol imap { listen = *:143 listen = *:10143 ssl_listen = *:993 ssl_listen = *:10993 for example. Or is this more preferably done by pointing dovecot at different configuration files?

[Dovecot] Expire-tool does not delete duplicate messages (dovecot-1.2.17)
by Oleksii Krykun 17 Aug '12

17 Aug '12

Trying to implement expire plugin. expire-tool works fine. This delete expunged messages but not all of them. I have duplicate messages in appropriate folder. These messages are from expanding postfix aliases (e.g. postmaster@, hostmaster@, abuse@ etc. points to same mailbox and spam often sent to all of them. If duplicate message is received only one entry in dovecot-uidlist is created and only first of duplicates is deleted with expire-tool. Rest of duolicates are not deleted. Any suggestions. Thanks, Kryol

[Dovecot] dsync backup gets stuck... fails
by Jeff Gustafson 17 Aug '12

17 Aug '12

More dsync issues. We were running 2.1.7 and we updated to 2.1.9. Same problem with both versions. I'm getting an error 75 on about 40 boxes out of 1800. It is the same list of boxes every time we use 'dsync backup' to backup the server. dsync seems to stop communicating to the backup box (over ssh). strace just shows it sitting at a epoll_wait. Once the program quits (times out?), a 'du' shows the destination is smaller (200kbyte in one case). Has anyone else seen an exit code of 75? Nothing in the documentation mentions what exit code 75 could mean. What can I do to help the developers locate the bug? ...Jeff

[Dovecot] some mdbox mails get lost each day
by Christian Rößner 16 Aug '12

16 Aug '12

Hi, I have a strange problem here. I had installed Dovecot-2.1.6 on a customers setup. They have 102 mail accounts on the server. The started using this dovecot version on the 20th June. One mailbox suddenly started expunging mails. Not from the current day, but one week back in the past. First I thought about an Outlook issue. Some filter or archieving thing, but we did a test and on one day, the curstomer did not start Outlook first; instead he checked his mails with the SOGo-webinterface. We saw that mails got deleted again. I checked for sieve filters. None. I upgraded dovecot to 2.1.7, as I have not done any newer packages yet for Ubuntu (using my own PPA). Same problem one day later. I tested with telnet locally. Same result as in the client. I also did doveadm dump -t log and index and saw that there had been expunged mails. Yesterday I asked the customer to backup all his mails in Outlook. After that I renamed the whole mdbox folder of this account on the server and sent one test mail to recreate the mailbox. After that her restored his mail in Outlook. This morning her contacted me and said that all mails are ok right now and no mails have been erased anymore. Coud this been a corrupted index? I also chekced the storage/-folder and see that all mails are still on disk. Now he asked me if there is any way to get all the lost messaged back? It would be okay for him, if all mails since June are sent again, as he can clean his mailbox afterwards. So does somebody have an idea on how to solve this? Maybe scripting something in python and using local sendmail command? Or is there some doveadm voodoo to repair the index or unexpunge all mails?

[Dovecot] Hostname Based forwarding
by Merrickville 16 Aug '12

16 Aug '12

Trying to figure out hostname based IMAP proxy forwarding. I have two mail servers: mail.example.com mail.fakedomain.ca proxy server running dovecat/IMAPS, facing the Internet. *Both* names are DNS resolve(able), but.., both are the *same IP address.* For example: Joe configures his email client username: joe(a)example.com IMAP Addr: mail.example.com For example: Jane configures her email client username: jane(a)fakedomain.ca IMAP Addr: mail.fakedomain.ca So, now all clients must change their user-name in their email client to their full email address, because there is a Jane & Joe on "both" servers and..., dovecot proxies based on 'user name' Is there a way to proxy based on the host name the client has configured in his/her email client? (Like Apache VirtualHosts) This would be ideal, as the clients can then go back to using just their name as the username.

[Dovecot] v2.2 status update: IMAP NOTIFY extension and more
by Timo Sirainen 16 Aug '12

16 Aug '12

v2.2 hg now has support for NOTIFY extension. The only thing missing is support for SubscriptionChange events. Now would be a good time for IMAP clients to start implementing and testing it. :) I remember K9 developers at least said they were just waiting for Dovecot to support it first. v2.2 implements some other extensions also: BINARY, CATENATE and MOVE. Stephan has also implemented URLAUTH pretty far. Hopefully it gets finished in time for v2.2.0. I'll also try to implement the rest of the LEMONADE extensions: CONVERT, CONTEXT=SORT and URLAUTH=BINARY. I'm also considering implementing an SMTP submission server, which works only as a proxy to the real SMTP server. The benefits of it would mainly be: * It could support BURL command and other extensions required by LEMONADE. The real SMTP server would see only regular DATA commands. * Would make SMTP AUTH easy to implement regardless of what the real SMTP server is.

[Dovecot] Postfix & Dovecot: Client certificate authentication
by "JARRY Jérémy" 16 Aug '12

16 Aug '12

Hello, I would like to set up an authentication using certificate with Dovecot: A user sends mail to Postfix and Dovecot authentication is valid only if certificate is trusted. So, I enable the parameter auth_ssl_require_client_cert in dovecot configuration but it is not running. Here are the postfix logs: Aug 16 09:51:48 myserver dovecot: auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth Aug 16 09:51:48 myserver dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libauthdb_ldap.so Aug 16 09:51:48 myserver dovecot: auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=6922) Aug 16 09:51:51 myserver dovecot: auth: Debug: client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=smtp nologin lip=127.0.0.1 rip=127.0.0.1 secured resp=xxx Aug 16 09:51:51 myserver postfix/smtpd[6922]: warning: localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1]: SASL PLAIN authentication failed: Client didn't present valid SSL certificate Aug 16 09:51:51 myserver dovecot: auth: PLAIN(?,127.0.0.1): Client didn't present valid SSL certificate Aug 16 09:51:51 myserver dovecot: auth: Debug: client out: FAIL 1 reason=Client didn't present valid SSL certificate Aug 16 09:51:51 myserver dovecot: auth: Debug: client in: AUTH 2 LOGIN service=smtp nologin lip=127.0.0.1 rip=127.0.0.1 secured Aug 16 09:51:51 myserver dovecot: auth: LOGIN(?,127.0.0.1): Client didn't present valid SSL certificate Aug 16 09:51:51 myserver dovecot: auth: Debug: client out: FAIL 2 reason=Client didn't present valid SSL certificate Aug 16 09:51:51 myserver postfix/smtpd[6922]: warning: localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed: Client didn't present valid SSL certificate It seems Postfix doesn't send the client certificat to Dovecot.

[Dovecot] bcrypt again
by Sven Schwyn 15 Aug '12

15 Aug '12

Hi I'd like Dovecot to consume a list of users exported from an external application which stores bcrypted passwords. This has been asked in the past, however, I'm not sure how to read the following reply: > If you are using Dovecot< 2.0 you can also use any of the algorithms > supported by your system's libc. But then you have to prefix the hashes > with {CRYPT} - not {{BLF,SHA256,SHA512}-CRYPT}. I'm on Dovecot 2.0.19. Does this mean that only the hashes listed with "doveadm pw -l" are supported and even if glibc can do bcrypt, the CRYPT scheme won't do the trick anymore? Thanks for your help!
