[Dovecot] UIDL and message migration
by Hugo Monteiro 28 Jun '11

28 Jun '11

Hello, I'm in the process of migrating accounts between two dovecot servers. An old server running ancient 1.0.15 and a new server running 1.2.15. Account migration is going to be gradual and so i would like to use imapsync to move messages and subscriptions from one server to the other. The only problem so far is with POP users. After doing an account migration with imapsync, and although both servers share the same pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv, the client downloads every message that was already on the server. Any pointers would be very much appreciated. Best Regards, Hugo Monteiro.

[Dovecot] problem with dovecot and sieve
by Javier 28 Jun '11

28 Jun '11

Hi We've been using dovecot with great success so far. We are trying to add sieve support for our users. We enabled managesieve and users can define rules from the webmail (roundcube) with sieverules plugin for roundcube. Everything goes ok, but here's a problem I couldn't figure yet. When I define a redirect rule, the mail is forwarded but a local copy is stored too. Weird thing is that the logs say redirecting failed but the mail gets forwarded. Let me show you some of this (personal data masked): # cat .dovecot.sieve ## Generated by Roundcube Webmail SieveRules Plugin ## # rule:[teste] if anyof (true) { redirect "xxxxx@xxxxxxxxx"; } And the log from the user's sieve log sieve: info: started log at Jun 15 18:05:49. error: msgid=<BANLkTik1OzJEreF0qW000OvFpkaR7nOhCQ(a)mail.gmail.com>: failed to redirect message to <xxxxxx@xxxxxxx> (refer to server log for more information). syslog: Jun 16 11:40:26 mailstore5 dovecot: lmtp(8458, xxxxxxx(a)xxxxxx.com) Error: /eMhMNoV+k0KIQAAmtbU9A: sieve: execution of script /var/maildir++/99/xxxxxx(a)xxxxxxxx/.dovecot.sieve failed, but implicit keep was successful (user logfile /var/maildir++/99/xxxxxx(a)xxxxx.com/.dovecot.sieve.log may reveal additional details) And gets redirected anyway Jun 16 11:40:26 mailstore5 postfix/smtp[13041]: CB4D1C79FE: to=<xxxx@xxxxxxx>, delay=0.12, delays=0.02/0/0.01/0.08, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as E24FAB0880) There's no explicit keep anywhere in the sieve rule, nor a global rule, so Im confused, the email should be forwarded only. The error message confuses me too, as it says failed but the mail gets through. dovecot -n # 2.0.9: /opt/mail/dovecot/etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.36.2 x86_64 Debian 5.0.8 auth_mechanisms = plain login base_dir = /opt/mail/dovecot/var disable_plaintext_auth = no listen = * mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir mail_plugins = create_mbox quota managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include varia passdb { args = socket=/opt/mail/auth_server/var/socket timeout=10 driver = courier } plugin { quota = maildir:User quota quota_rule = Trash:ignore quota_rule2 = Spam:ignore sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve } protocols = imap pop3 lmtp sieve service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 30143 ssl = no } } service lmtp { inet_listener lmtp { address = 0.0.0.0 port = 30024 } process_min_avail = 4 } service pop3-login { inet_listener pop3 { port = 30110 } } ssl = no ssl_parameters_regenerate = 0 userdb { args = socket=/opt/mail/auth_server/var/socket timeout=10 driver = courier } protocol pop3 { mail_plugins = create_mbox quota maildiraccess pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh pop3_reuse_xuidl = no pop3_save_uidl = no pop3_uidl_format = %f } protocol imap { mail_plugins = create_mbox quota imap_quota maildiraccess } protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = create_mbox quota sieve } protocol sieve { mail_debug = yes } Your help is appreciated.

[Dovecot] Thunderbird or Dovecot causing duplicates
by Tim 28 Jun '11

28 Jun '11

Hey everyone, back on the list after a few years away. I have a strange issue that is just annoying. Trying to work out if it's Dovecot or Thunderbird causing the problem. Basically, I read an email (so it gets marked as read) and then very quickly I mark is as unread, (i.e. I realised I want to leave that email for later) which causes a duplicate email to be created. Generally I believe both duplicates are then marked as unread, but I've not taken too much notice of that part yet, other than the new email (the duplicate) being marked as unread. This has also happened when deleting emails from a junk folder. It seems to be events happening quickly that ether Thunderbird or Dovecot don't keep up with, so think the state of the message hasn't changed, so recreate the message maybe? I'm not really sure, so was hoping someone else had experienced the issue or could shed some light on it. Thanks Tim The logs from when I managed to recreate this manually this morning as a test.

[Dovecot] %d empty string
by Ryan Dotson 28 Jun '11

28 Jun '11

I am trying to upgrade from dovecot 1.x to Dovecot 2.0.13 on Fedora. My problem is the mail_location setting seems to ignore the %d variable. My my location is as follows: mail_location = maildir:/var/spool/virtual_mail/%d/%u/Maildir However, when trying to log in the maillog says it can't find /var/spool/virtual_mail//*myusername*/Maildir/cur. As you can see it just uses an empty string for the %d variable. Can anyone help? Thanks, Ryan

Hi since latest upgrade on my machine, i have lot of warnings in my log, and i found that it is due this change http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot-cvs/2011-February/018588.html Is there any option to disable these warnings ? Yes we have multiple UIDs so these warnings bothers me. Many thanks Regards Martin

[Dovecot] Default sendmail_path value
by Joseph Tam 28 Jun '11

28 Jun '11

It appears the documentation of this parameter is inconsistent with the documentation: > grep -nF /sendmail `gfind src -type f` src/lib-lda/lda-settings.c:41: .sendmail_path = "/usr/sbin/sendmail", src/config/all-settings.c:732: .sendmail_path = "/usr/sbin/sendmail", (and doc/example-config/conf.d/15-lda.conf is also consistent with this) but the documentations states http://wiki2.dovecot.org/LDA sendmail_path is used to send mails. Note that the default is /usr/lib/sendmail, which doesn't necessarily work the same as /usr/sbin/sendmail. I don't know which ought to be changed though. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

[Dovecot] Help regarding getting password policy response
by sarguru 28 Jun '11

28 Jun '11

Hello, I have enabled ldap password policy in my open ldap server and it locks out the account after several unsuccessful bind attempts. I am able to get the password policy response which says "Account locked" by specifying '-e ppolicy' option in my ldapsearch command. I am looking for a way to get similar response when I use dovecot so that I can specify my clients that their account is locked. I understand the security risks involved but mine is low security and high usability requirement. Please share the solution with me. -- Thanks, Sarguru

[Dovecot] Extra plugins vía extrafield in ldap
by Antonio Perez-Aranda 28 Jun '11

28 Jun '11

Hi all, I'm using dovecot 2.0.9 and I have a config like this: dovecot.conf: passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/conf.d/passwd-ldap.conf driver = ldap } mail_plugins = $mail_plugins quota plugin { autocreate = INBOX.SPAM autocreate2 = INBOX.NoSPAM autosubscribe = INBOX.SPAM autosubscribe2 = INBOX.NoSPAM quota = maildir } protocol imap { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins imap_quota autocreate } And in passwd-ldap.conf I have some like this to add extra plugins: user_attrs = homeDirectory=home,uid=user,mailQuota=quota_rule=*:bytes=%$,mailPlugins=mail_plugins With this. I can see that dovecot load all plugins from settings, but in the user session, I can get only the plugins that I have selected in mailPlugins field If i check some like this: mailPlugins=mail_plugins=$mail_plugins %$, The imap session user is aborted after login. How can I add extra plugins by ldap without put on ldap all user plugins? -- Antonio Pérez-Aranda Alcaide aperezaranda(a)yaco.es Yaco Sistemas S.L. http://www.yaco.es/ C/ Rioja 5, 41001 Sevilla Teléfono +34 954 50 00 57 Fax +34 954 50 09 29
