[Dovecot] Timeout during APPEND
by martin f krafft 14 Jun '11

14 Jun '11

Dear list, I am running dovecot 1.2.15 on a Debian server. One user reports continuous problems synchronising her mailbox via IMAP (offlineimap, via SSH tunnel or SSL socket). It seems that she has a large, locally-created message, but the uplink bandwidth seems to be not enough to push it before dovecot times out the APPEND command. The error/exception happens inside offlineimap's Python imaplib2.py file: APPEND => no response after 30.0 secs I do not know the IMAP protocol all that well, but it seems to me like this is broken somewhere. Could you please help me figure out the problem? -- martin | http://madduck.net/ | http://two.sentenc.es/ "man sagt nicht 'nichts!', man sagt dafür 'jenseits' oder 'gott'." - friedrich nietzsche spamtraps: madduck.bogus(a)madduck.net

[Dovecot] SSL comunication problems with client side.
by Denis Iskandarov 14 Jun '11

14 Jun '11

I can get messages without SSL with no problems. but i need to setup server accept only SSL secured connections. I think my configuration is very proper, but cant find "obvious" problem. Postfix 2.3.3 + dovecot 2.0.13-1_129.el5 + PostfixAdmin 2.3.3 I made own CA. configured postfix and dovecot with same cert key ca. Same public cert i gave for client just converted it to PKCS#12. I cant undestand valid and invalid certs strings in long, they look same. You can check logs and config bellow. Also some other questions regarding SSL: 1. How to make client MUA (thunderbird) automatically retrieve certificate ? My thunderbird cant do it by itself so i'm importing mail cert by myself. 2. If i want to setup Roundcube/Squirrelmail webmail clients with TLS support (https) i have to provide them with same certificates as dovecot and postfix have. Or in this case i can use whatever certificate dedicated for with "virtualhost"? dovecot-deliver.log: Jun 13 13:26:42 imap-login: Info: Invalid certificate: unable to get certificate CRL: /C=GE/ST=Tbilisi/O=Caucasus Digital Network/OU=Mail Server/CN=mx.office.dev/emailAddress=hostmaster(a)office.dev Jun 13 13:26:42 imap-login: Info: Invalid certificate: unable to get certificate CRL: /C=GE/ST=Tbilisi/L=Tbilisi/O=Caucasus Digital Network/OU=Caucasus Digital Network/CN=Caucasus Digital Network/emailAddress=hostmaster(a)office.dev Jun 13 13:26:42 imap-login: Info: Valid certificate: /C=GE/ST=Tbilisi/L=Tbilisi/O=Caucasus Digital Network/OU=Caucasus Digital Network/CN=Caucasus Digital Network/emailAddress=hostmaster(a)office.dev Jun 13 13:26:42 imap-login: Info: Valid certificate: /C=GE/ST=Tbilisi/O=Caucasus Digital Network/OU=Mail Server/CN=mx.office.dev/emailAddress=hostmaster(a)office.dev Jun 13 13:26:42 auth: Info: PLAIN(?,192.168.0.11): Client didn't present valid SSL certificate Jun 13 13:26:42 auth: Info: LOGIN(?,192.168.0.11): Client didn't present valid SSL certificate Jun 13 13:26:42 auth: Info: PLAIN(?,192.168.0.11): Client didn't present valid SSL certificate Jun 13 13:26:42 imap-login: Info: Disconnected (client sent an invalid cert): method=PLAIN, rip=192.168.0.11, lip=192.168.0.31, TLS maillog.

[Dovecot] Sieve question
by Dhaval Patel 14 Jun '11

14 Jun '11

I have successfully setup Postfix -> Dovecot with virtual users and spam filtering with spamassassin. Now the last remaining part is for the user defined rules. Let me describe my environment and what I am trying to achieve. I have Postfix setup to call spamc and deliver to Dovecot according to the master.cf line below. -------------------------------------------------------------- dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/bin/spamc -u vmail -e /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -d ${recipient} -------------------------------------------------------------- The emails get checked by Spamassassin and are delivered to the users's mailbox (/home/vmail/username). I use an actual username (dhav) and not email address (dhaval(a)example.com) Things are working fine with that. >From reading http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve I see that Sieve can do global and user specified filtering. So I am planning to put the following rule into the global script so spammy emails go to the user's INBOX.spam folder. -------------------------------------------------------------- require "fileinto"; if header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" "YES" { fileinto "spam"; } -------------------------------------------------------------- My first question is, where is this global script? Do I configure the "sieve_global_dir = /etc/dovecot/sieve/"? What about he filename? Most users will not need any additional rules. There are some users that do and I am having a difficult time figuring out how it would be setup. My second question is the following. Is there a way in the global script to check if there is a file called /etc/dovecot/sieve/username or /home/vmail/username/personal_sieve_script and include it? I was using maildrop before this and procmail before that so I apologies for sounding stupid if this is not how Sieve scripts work. I am by no means tied the methods I describe above. If anyone knows of a better way to achieve what I am trying to do, I would appreciate if you let me know of it. Thanks, Dhaval

[Dovecot] Version differences, trash, upgrade
by José Antonio Suarez Pinzón 14 Jun '11

14 Jun '11

Hello everybody, I have some basic questions: 1. how can I configure the auto-empty trash plugin for all users after 3 or 4 days (This is very important, regular users do not clean their trash, or are using blackberry and do not have an option to do it or simply, do not care about it) 2. difference between version 1.2.17 and latest 2 version of Dovecot, have the version 2 an automatic option for the trash thing? 3. me as a basic skilled user, how can I made the upgrade to version 2 without major risks, I mean I do not want to leave everybody on my server without mail. I am a novice in all of this stuff, so please excuse me if I am making dumb questions. Thanks in advance for your help.

Having enabled shared mailboxes - is there a way to provide access to all users' mailboxes by a given user? Instead of having to manually provide ACL rights to every mailbox of every user? -- Daniel

[Dovecot] Webmail project : to cache or not to cache emails
by Vincent Richomme 13 Jun '11

13 Jun '11

Hi, I plan to develop a new web service where one of its module is a webmail and I am thinking about some implementation details. From a interface point of view I wanted to adopt the same logic a outlook(desktop) or yahoo webmail and not split emails into pages. I mean I just want a single datatable view where user can scroll to see his old messages and data are updated only when user release the vertical scrollbar. When I look at current webmail (roundcube for instance) I can see that a cache is used to stored emails headers and I was wondering if it was really necessary ? Once a user has passed the login process I would like to retrieve only the emails that will be displayed (actually a bit more, I am thinking of 150) but I am wondering if it's a good idea to not use a cache for headers. For instance if I have thousands of users on the same machine, will it support it ? Will it be fast enough ? Of course I will try by myself the different options but would be curious to have some opinions. Thanks

[Dovecot] Explain about (mail_get_first_header(mail, "From", &header)
by Alex Baule 13 Jun '11

13 Jun '11

Hi Timo... Inside my plugin, i use the (mail_get_first_header(mail, "From", &header) function, to get the email From to put in some Blacklist. Looking in the header under this mail, we have 2 "From" fields. Using the function above, i get the Second "From", but my MTA (exim) look in to The First From, in the First Line, in that way, my blacklist don't work, because the sender to be blocked is different from the From looked by dovecot. There is a way to get the "From" from First line ? ############################## HEADER ######################################################## >From dma_3783(a)envios.socomdescontos.com.br Tue Jun 07 15:43:04 2011 Return-path: <dma_3783(a)envios.socomdescontos.com.br> Envelope-to: sugestao(a)brc.com.br Delivery-date: Tue, 07 Jun 2011 15:43:04 -0300 Received: from [187.61.43.119] (helo=vt-0007-119.virtualtarget.com.br) by mail.brc.com.br with esmtp (Exim 4.76) (envelope-from <dma_3783(a)envios.socomdescontos.com.br>) id 1QU1Ex-0006II-5o for sugestao(a)brc.com.br; Tue, 07 Jun 2011 15:43:01 -0300 DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha1; c=relaxed/relaxed; s=k1; d=dkim.vttrack.com.br; h=From:To:Subject:MIME-Version:Content-Type:Reply-To:List-Unsubscribe:Message-ID:Date; bh=Q5G3TQPrYgogLS7aDg1DLYJpLKI=; b=XC+MHH79L6VHTI2OayuFHZGeSRAvNstNz8sHEp+xE5i71GznnYfCVsw7fuq2dIST6bTYY7tto/Rd aIZjc2YfEyqgUi0KKKesnMLSI61Ij/FlmE5ftRgIy9Ra59O9R03S62wAt6WPjkx1f4xCZ9ZAIaox GU957biBsg3B6ryU5Ks= Received: by vt-0007-119.virtualtarget.com.br id htpoj60sh70i for <sugestao(a)brc.com.br>; Tue, 7 Jun 2011 15:42:59 -0300 (envelope-from <dma_3783(a)envios.socomdescontos.com.br>) From: "CompraFacil.com.br" <mkt(a)socomdescontos.com.br> To: "sugestao" <sugestao(a)brc.com.br> Subject: SUPER OFERTA: TV LCD 32” Full HD apenas 10x 129,99 reais com FRETE ZERO.

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.0+LMTP: Legal MAIL FROM rejected?
by Bernhard Schmidt 13 Jun '11

13 Jun '11

Hi, I run Dovecot 2.0.13 fed by Postfix over LMTP. Today it rejected one mail Postfix and Amavis accepted, generating a bounce. It was just a spammail, but I think the sender address is legal according to RFC5321 and should be accepted. I don't like generating bounces, email should be either rejected by postfix/pre-queue-amavis or delivered. Jun 6 12:32:47 mail postfix/qmgr[840]: 991FC240DB: from=<admin <admin(a)kl38000.com>, size=8427, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Jun 6 12:32:47 mail amavis[27046]: (27046-06) FWD via SMTP: <"admin <admin"@kl38000.com> -> <user(a)domain.com>,BODY=7BIT 250 2.0.0 Ok, id=27046-06, from MTA([127.0.0.1]:10025): 250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as 991FC240DB Jun 6 12:32:47 mail postfix/lmtp[4710]: 991FC240DB: to=<user(a)vmail.domain.com>, orig_to=<user(a)domain.com>, relay=pop3.domain.com[::1]:24, delay=0.24, delays=0.09/0.11/0.03/0.01, dsn=5.5.4, status=bounced (host pop3.domain.com[::1] said: 501 5.5.4 Invalid parameters (in reply to MAIL FROM command)) It looks like dovecot/lmtp does not accept an address with quoted localpart that contains a space mail from:<"admin admin"@kl38000.com> 501 5.5.4 Invalid parameters mail from:<"adminadmin"@kl38000.com> 250 2.1.0 OK mail from:<"admin<admin"@kl38000.com> 250 2.1.0 OK Bernhard
