[Dovecot] Unable to compile --with-mysql on Solaris
by Jesse Reynolds 13 Jun '11

13 Jun '11

Hello I'm hoping someone can give me a pointer as to how to compile Dovecot with MySQL support on Solaris. I am trying to compile dovecot 2.0.13 (also tried 2.0.9) on Solaris (OpenSolaris 2009-06, snv_111b) with the OpenSolaris provided MySQL 5.1.30 under /usr/mysql. The server is a Sun X2100 M2, which has a dual core AMD Opteron processor (amd64). Running "./configure --with-mysql" stops here: ... checking for mysql_config... mysql_config checking for mysql_init in -lmysqlclient... no configure: error: Can't build with MySQL support: libmysqlclient not found the libmysqlclient.so is to be found here: /usr/mysql/5.1/lib/mysql/ or for the amd64 version: /usr/mysql/5.1/lib/amd64/mysql/ And include is at: /usr/mysql/5.1/include/ I have tried various combinations of things in CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS, but it doesn't change the configure error above at all. Eg: export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/mysql/5.1/include/mysql" export CFLAGS="-I/usr/mysql/5.1/include/mysql" export LDFLAGS="-R/usr/mysql/5.1/lib/amd64/mysql -L/usr/mysql/5.1/lib/amd64/mysql" ./configure --prefix=/opt/dovecot --with-ldap --with-mysql Looking at config.log this section seems relevant: configure:22993: checking for mysql_config configure:23009: found /usr/mysql/bin/mysql_config configure:23021: result: mysql_config configure:23055: checking for mysql_init in -lmysqlclient configure:23080: gcc -o conftest -std=gnu99 -I/usr/mysql/5.1/include/mysql -Wall -W -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissin g-declarations -Wpointer-arith -Wchar-subscripts -Wformat=2 -Wbad-function-cast -I/usr/mysql/5.1/include/mysql -R /usr/mysql/5.1/lib/amd64/mysql -L/usr/mysql/5.1/lib/amd64/mysql conftest.c -lmysqlclient -lnsl -lsocket -lrt -l sendfile -L/opt/SUNWspro/lib -lCrun -lrt -L/usr/mysql/5.1/lib/mysql -R/usr/mysql/5.1/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz -lgen -lsocket -lnsl -lm -lz -lm >&5 ld: fatal: library -lCrun: not found ld: fatal: file processing errors.

Perhaps I would more more luck with Sun's C compiler? Thank you Jesse -- Jesse Reynolds Carbon Planet Limited - http://www.carbonplanet.com/ Virtual Artists Pty Ltd - http://www.va.com.au/

Re: [Dovecot] postfix dovecot spamassassin question
by Dhaval Patel 12 Jun '11

12 Jun '11

So I setup amavis-new and configured postfix/spamassassin/amavis. Mail is still delivered properly but I do not see the spamassassin info in the headers of the email. I configured amavis-new and set "sa_tag_level_deflt" to -999 so that it would always show up but no luck. I updated the spamassassin config and enabled it. I also tested spamassassin manually running "spamassassin -t < someemail" and that returns the email with the X-Spam in the headers. If this is not the correct place to ask, I apologize. Please direct me where I can find the answer.

[Dovecot] postfix dovecot spamassassin question
by Dhaval Patel 11 Jun '11

11 Jun '11

I have an old server with postfix -> maildrop -> spamassassin -> courier setup. I am installing a new server and would like to use dovecot instead of courier. Currently I have postfix -> dovecot lda -> dovecot setup and emails are delivered as expected. The problem is that I do not know how to get spamassassin integrated into the mix since I am using the dovecot lda rather than maildrop. I would rather keep things as simple as possible and not use maildrop + sendmail just to use spamassasin but will if I have to. So my question to the list is, how do you recommend me doing this? Are there any documentation, howtos or tutorials which can help me configure this? Below is the output of dovecot -n Thanks, Dhaval ------------dovecot -n--------------- # 1.2.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-5-686-bigmem i686 Debian 6.0.1 xfs log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S ssl_cert_file: /etc/ssl/certs/secure.consoe.com.pem ssl_key_file: /etc/ssl/certs/secure.consoe.com.key disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: maildir:/home/vmail/%u mbox_write_locks: fcntl dotlock namespace: type: private separator: . prefix: INBOX. inbox: yes list: yes subscriptions: yes lda: postmaster_address: postmaster(a)patel.sh auth_socket_path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master log_path: /home/vmail/dovecot-deliver.log mail_plugins: sieve global_script_path: /home/vmail/globalsieverc auth default: mechanisms: plain login passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf socket: type: listen client: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-client mode: 432 master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 user: vmail group: vmail

[Dovecot] Sub-Subfolder from public folders
by Torsten Harenberg 10 Jun '11

10 Jun '11

Dear all, I just moved from an old cyrus instance to a brand new dovecot installation. Everything worked pretty well so far. The only small problem I have is: we have public folders, so I defined namespace { type = public separator = . prefix = public. location = maildir:/var/mail/public:INDEX=%u/public subscriptions = no list = children } And I define ACLs for the folders inside. This works, but the some of these folders have sub-folders and these cannot be seen by (what I have tested is Apple Mail, Thunderbird, Outlook and squirrelmail). File system looks like this: mail# cd /var/mail/public/.icecube-c mail# ls -l .ice* .icecube-hard: total 232 drwxrwxrwx 2 root wheel 512 Jun 9 13:07 cur -rwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 167 Jun 9 13:07 dovecot-keywords -rwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 105179 Jun 9 13:07 dovecot-uidlist drwxrwxrwx 2 root wheel 123904 Jun 9 13:07 new drwxrwxrwx 2 root wheel 512 Jun 9 13:07 tmp .icecube-soft: total 2214 drwxrwxrwx 2 root wheel 512 Jun 9 13:06 cur -rwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 167 Jun 9 13:07 dovecot-keywords -rwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 1019250 Jun 9 13:07 dovecot-uidlist -rwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 0 Jun 9 13:06 maildirfolder drwxrwxrwx 2 root wheel 1195008 Jun 9 13:07 new drwxrwxrwx 2 root wheel 512 Jun 9 13:07 tmp mail# ls .icecube-hard .icecube-soft cur dovecot-acl dovecot-keywords dovecot-uidlist new subscriptions tmp Maybe anybody can help with this?

[Dovecot] On-delivery deduplication?
by Xin LI 10 Jun '11

10 Jun '11

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi, A feature of Cyrus-IMAPd I really missed after migrated to Dovecot is their optional "duplicate suppression", which eliminates duplicate message at deliver time, if their envelope sender, recipient and message-id matches. For example, if one subscribes to a mailing list, and someone hit "Reply All" to reply to him, there will be two different SMTP deliveries, one from the replier's server and one from the mailing list. Is it possible to do the same on latest Dovecot? (Looking at the documentation it seems not?) Or is there some better ways to implement the same functionality? Thanks in advance!

[Dovecot] possible bug leading to lmtp crashes
by Trever L. Adams 10 Jun '11

10 Jun '11

I have been using Samba 4 kerberos and ldap with dovecot. Samba 4 changed a while back (resulting in me asking for help) which requires kerberos auth for ldap lookups. My setup worked perfectly before hand. Before and after were with dovecot-2.0.11 and the after also happens with 2.0.11. The only changes were (in my ldap.conf for dovecot -- changes are new lines starting with *, * is not in the conf, just showing changes): hosts = example.org base = dc=example,dc=org ldap_version = 3 user_attrs = userPrincipalName=user user_filter = (&(objectClass=person)(|(mail=%u)(sAMAccountName=%u)(userPrincipalName=%u))) *dn = MACHINEACCOUNT$(a)EXAMPLE.ORG *sasl_bind = yes *sasl_mech = GSSAPI *sasl_realm = EXAMPLE.ORG *#sasl_authz_id = MACHINEACCOUNT$(a)EXAMPE.ORG # For using doveadm -A: iterate_attrs = userPrincipalName=user iterate_filter = (objectClass=person) in dovecot.conf: import_environment = TZ KRB5CCNAME=/etc/dovecot/krb5.cc With that do any of the following lines from the referenced hg rev set mean I am missing anything on my import_environment variable? Or is it all good? 10.15 +/* <settings checks> */ 10.16 +#ifdef HAVE_SYSTEMD 10.17 +# define ENV_SYSTEMD " LISTEN_PID LISTEN_FDS" 10.18 +#else 10.19 +# define ENV_SYSTEMD "" 10.20 +#endif 10.21 +#ifdef DEBUG 10.22 +# define ENV_GDB " GDB" 10.23 +#else 10.24 +# define ENV_GDB "" 10.25 +#endif 10.26 +/* </settings checks> */ 10.27 + 10.28 static const struct master_settings master_default_settings = { 10.29 .base_dir = PKG_RUNDIR, 10.30 .libexec_dir = PKG_LIBEXECDIR, 10.31 + .import_environment = "TZ" ENV_SYSTEMD ENV_GDB, If I am not missing anything, then there seems to be a problem with kerberos sasl with ldap lookups.

[Dovecot] IMAP Label Updates not showing up across shared account
by Ricardo Branco 09 Jun '11

09 Jun '11

Dovecot 2.0.13 Centos 5.4 x86_64 2.6.18-164.9.1.el5 (on ESXi) OS/Logs on local storage, /home all on NFS server for datastore (NFS Store Centos 5.5 x86_64 2.6.18-194.11.1.el5) Thunderbird 3.1.10 on XP/W7 Desktops We are seeing a werid issue where there is a delay of up to a few mins in seeing label updates on messages. I have confirmed that Thunderbird is sending the update to the server with WireShark, its just additional users connected to the same mailbox do not see them. Marking a message as Seen/Un-Seen happens faster just not labels. If you have a label set when you mark a message as Seen/Un-Seen the other clients then see the update straight away. -- The information contained in or attached to this email is intended only for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed.
