[Dovecot] 2.1b6 imapc sync error
by Metro Domain Admin 15 Feb '12

15 Feb '12

I received this error at the end of a migration from imapc to mdbox. Is it because I wanted doveadm 'sync' instead of 'backup'? I didn't get time to do any testing, but since you're pushing for the release, here it is: kerio2:~ adminuser$ /opt/dovecot/bin/doveadm -o imapc_user=jsample -o imapc_password=****** -o imapc_host=*.*.*.* sync -R -u jsample_dc(a)mydomain.com imapc:/tmp/imapc dsync(jsample_dc(a)mydomain.com): Error: Can't update mailbox Archives/2011: Not supported dsync(jsample_dc(a)mydomain.com): Error: Can't update mailbox Archives/2012: Not supported dsync(jsample_dc(a)mydomain.com): Error: Can't update mailbox INBOX: Not supported ...etc, for all mailboxes in the account.

[Dovecot] domain quota in sql
by Adam Szpakowski 15 Feb '12

15 Feb '12

Hi, I have a problem with setting up quota usage tracking for domains. Problem is, that domain quota is always based on only one user in domain, the last one on whom behalf any operation was performed. To recreate this situation, one has only to perform: doveadm quota recalc -u USER on a user, and the domain quota takes the value of this user quota. Have anyone a clue what could cause this problem? Quota tracking is set up both for users and domains. For users quota tracking is working fine, data is saved into dbase without problems. We are using dovecot 2.0.15. Quota enforcing (rules) is NOT a part of the problem. Important parts of config: dict { quota = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-used-quota.conf.ext quota2 = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-used-quota-domain.conf.ext } plugin { quota = dict:User quota::proxy::quota quota2 = dict:Domain quota:%d:proxy::quota2 } /etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-used-quota.conf.ext map { pattern = priv/quota/storage table = used_quota username_field = username value_field = bytes } map { pattern = priv/quota/messages table = used_quota username_field = username value_field = messages } /etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-used-quota-domain.conf.ext map { pattern = priv/quota/storage table = used_quota_domain username_field = domain value_field = bytes } map { pattern = priv/quota/messages table = used_quota_domain username_field = domain value_field = messages } -- Adam Szpakowski

Hi all, today I have compiled Dovecot-2.0.18 with Dovecot-Pigeonwhole-0.2.6. Now I have following Problem with sieve: ------------------------%<--------------------------------------------- main_script: line 249: error: included personal script 'vacation.sieve' does not exist. main_script: error: validation failed. ------------------------%<--------------------------------------------- I have a definition for 'sieve_dir' and the sieve script 'vacation.sieve' exits in the folder. # Dovecot Sieve Parameters plugin { ... sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve } If I use Dovecot-2.0.17 and Dovecot-Pigeonwhole-0.2.5 with the same configuration I can define include :personal "vacation.sieve"; in my main sieve script.

[Dovecot] pop3 not autocreating directory structure
by Jan-Frode Myklebust 15 Feb '12

15 Feb '12

We use: mail_home = /srv/mailstore/%256LRHu/%Ld/%Ln mail: mdbox:~/mdbox and I just noticed one of our newly provisioned users initially failed to pop her mails. I saw several of these: dovecot:: pop3(new.user(a)example.net): Error: Couldn't open INBOX: Mailbox doesn't exist: INBOX dovecot:: pop3(new.user(a)example.net): Couldn't open INBOX top=0/0, retr=0/0, del=0/0, size=0 before she switched to imap and then everything looked fine: dovecot:: imap(new.user(a)example.net): Disconnected: Logged out bytes=11/338 Looking at the timestamps in the filesystem I see that the users home directory wasn't created before switcing to imap. Is this a know problem? -jf

[Dovecot] v2.1.rc7 released
by Timo Sirainen 14 Feb '12

14 Feb '12

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.1/rc/dovecot-2.1.rc7.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.1/rc/dovecot-2.1.rc7.tar.gz.sig Okay, one more RC, because I needed a new feature implemented and forgot I wasn't supposed to do any changes anymore before v2.1.0. After that I figured I'll just do a few more changes and release RC7. So, v2.1.0 will probably be released within 1-2 days. So, the one new feature is: + Added ignore_on_failure setting for namespaces. If namespace initialization fails with this enabled (e.g. permission denied), the namespace is silently skipped for the user. Also (not really worth mentioning in NEWS) if you now connect to imap/pop3 port when auth process is misconfigured and dies, instead of hanging the client for 5 mins it gets disconnected pretty much immediately.

[Dovecot] R: Re: LMTP : Can't handle mixed proxy/non-proxy destinations
by cinzia.delcoiro＠libero.it 14 Feb '12

14 Feb '12

Hi Timo, I'm writing to alert you that even in version 2.1. we have the error: "Can't handle mixed proxy/non-proxy destinations" when we write to two users: one existent and one not. The error occurs randomly. I configure LDAP query in the file : dovecot-ldap.conf in this way: pass_attrs = mail=user,userPassword=password,=proxy=y,mailHost=host, =proxy_timeout=600 specifying "=proxy=y" in order to proxy every mail. As workaround, can I configure a static "host" for non-existing users?

[Dovecot] v2.1.rc6 released
by Timo Sirainen 14 Feb '12

14 Feb '12

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.1/rc/dovecot-2.1.rc6.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.1/rc/dovecot-2.1.rc6.tar.gz.sig I've finally finished all of my email backlog. If you haven't received an answer to some question/bugreport, resend the mail. This is hopefully the last v2.1 RC. If I don't receive any (serious) bug reports about this release in next few days, I'll just change the version number to v2.1.0 (and maybe update man pages, some are still missing..) I'll also create dovecot-2.2 hg repository today and add some pending patches from Stephan there and start doing some early spring cleaning in there. :) Since v2.1.rc5 there have been lots of small fixes and logging improvements, but I also did a few bigger things since they really had to be done soon and I didn't want v2.2.0 release to be only a few months after v2.1.0 with barely any new features. * Added automatic mountpoint tracking and doveadm mount commands to manage the list. If a mountpoint is unmounted, error handling is done by assuming that the files are only temporarily lost. This is especially helpful if dbox alt storage becomes unmounted. * Expire plugin: Only go through users listed by userdb iteration. Delete dict rows for nonexistent users, unless expire_keep_nonexistent_users=yes. * LDA's out-of-quota mails now include DSN report instead of MDN. + LDAP: Allow building passdb/userdb extra fields from multiple LDAP attributes by using %{ldap:attributeName} variables in the template. + doveadm log errors shows the last 1000 warnings and errors since Dovecot was started. + Improved multi-instance support: Track automatically which instances are started up and manage the list with doveadm instance commands. All Dovecot commands now support -i <instance_name> parameter to select the instance (instead of having to use -c <config path>). See instance_name setting. + doveadm mailbox delete: Added -r parameter to delete recursively + doveadm acl: Added "add" and "remove" commands. + Updated to Unicode v6.1 - mdbox: When saving to alt storage, Dovecot didn't append as much data to m.* files as it could have. - dbox: Fixed error handling when saving failed or was aborted - IMAP: Using COMPRESS extension may have caused assert-crashes - IMAP: THREAD REFS sometimes returned invalid (0) nodes. - dsync: Fixed handling non-ASCII characters in mailbox names.

[Dovecot] doveadm director proxy
by Jan-Frode Myklebust 14 Feb '12

14 Feb '12

I'm trying to configure a doveadm service that will proxy trough our directors, following the recipie at: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Director#Doveadm_server So on the backends I have: service doveadm { inet_listener { port = 24245 address = * } } doveadm_proxy_port = 24245 local 192.168.42.0/24 { doveadm_password = suPerSeecret } I assume the "local" line is supposed to point at my local network..? On the directors I have the same, plus: protocol doveadm { auth_socket_path = director-userdb } When testing "doveadm quota" on the directors, it complained quota plugin not being loaded, so I added: mail_plugins=quota Then it complained about "doveadm_password not set, can't authenticate", so I added: doveadm_password = suPerSeecret in the main section. Now I get trough to my backend servers, but they complain about: dovecot:: doveadm: Error: doveadm client attempted non-PLAIN authentication Any ideas for what that might be? This is with dovecot v2.0.14. -jf
