[Dovecot] install question
by Gerard Ranke 04 Apr '11

04 Apr '11

Dear list, I'm trying to build a dovecot-2.0.11 package for our systems, and so I would like to install it to a temporary directory. But when I use "gmake DESTDIR=/tmp/build install", instead of binaries, it's wrapper scripts that get installed for dovecot, doveconf and doveadm. When I install to the default location all is well. Does anybody know how how to install to a temp location? Thanks in advance for your answer! Best regards, Gerard Ranke

Hello Switching for Dovecot 1 to 2, I noticed the machine respond slower to users requests , of course it works but response times are a bit longer. Does Dovecot 2 need more system ressources ? ( the machine is the same ) Thanks

[Dovecot] Segmentation fault with vpopmail auth
by Samuel Montosa 04 Apr '11

04 Apr '11

Hi. I am new in the list. First, excuse my english. I am not native speaker. A few hours ago I had a problem with process dovecot-auth and vpopmail. Versions I had using, working, were: vpopmail 5.4.28 dovecot-1.1.12 I tried to compile dovecot-1.2.16. Compilation was well but in execution system said: kernel: dovecot-auth[2842]: segfault at 645f20 ip 0000000000645f20 sp 00007fff69bd3708 error 15 in dovecot-auth[645000+1000] and so. Then, I tried to recompile dovecot-1.1.12 (original version I had working) but system said the same. After investigation, I saw I had mixed of vpopmail versions. Problem was I had /home/vpopmail/lib/libvpopmail.so in my system. When this file is present, compilation of dovecot link dovocot-auth to dynamic library libvpopmail.so, but it is not necessary since I had my system working using vpopmail without this .so. What I recommend is to compile a fresh vpopmail. Now I am using vpopmail-5.4.32 (at now, stable version) and dovecot-1.2.16. First, compile vpopmail and make sure you purge /home/vpopmail/lib/ of libvpopmail.so. Fresh installations of vpopmail, from tar.gz (not from SVN) _doesn't_ build libvpopmail.so, so make sure this file doesn't exist before you compile dovecot. For me, library dependencies are: mymachine:/usr/local/src/dovecot-1.2.16# ldd src/auth/dovecot-auth linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007fff63df5000) libpam.so.0 => /lib/libpam.so.0 (0x00007f9f925e1000) libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/libcrypt.so.1 (0x00007f9f923aa000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f9f921a5000) librt.so.1 => /lib/librt.so.1 (0x00007f9f91f9d000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007f9f91c3c000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f9f927f7000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007f9f91a1f000) I hope this helps. It was a strange "bug". Regards. -- Samuel Montosa

[Dovecot] Maildir
by Walt Shekrota 01 Apr '11

01 Apr '11

I noticed in Cyrus they seem to address maildir++ recognised by IMAP. I need to know does Dovecot recognise this format? Procmail has an ability to deliver mails to different folders which if unrecognised renders the whole process useless. Does Dovecot have a similar deliver method? Thanks. -Walt

[Dovecot] inotify and network/cluster filesystems
by Jan-Frode Myklebust 01 Apr '11

01 Apr '11

(dovecot v1.2.16) I've notice the log notices about increasing /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_instances on my servers, and started wondering if inotify works for network/cluster filesystems.. I found this: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=311194 which says that there's no mechanism for one node to tell another node that a directory changed for GPFS.. And I would assume the same applies for NFS and other network filesystems. (Yes I know, we should use director to make users sticky to one host -- but we're not yet ready for that for lmtp). So, are there any recommendations for what settings one should use for for filesystems where inotify woun't work ? Are there settings for disabling it (without recompiling)? And does mailbox_idle_check_interval happen in addition to inotify, so that clients will be notified even with a broken inotify ? -jf

[Dovecot] Sieve: unknown tagged argument ':create' for the fileinto command
by mailing＠securitylabs.it 01 Apr '11

01 Apr '11

Hello, I've upgraded from dovecot 1.2.x with sieve to dovecot 2.0.11 with sieve. I've noticed that folders are no more created at delivery time now. I've read that I have to do two things: lda_mailbox_autocreate = yes in dovecot.conf and fileinto :create in the sieve script. Now the error message I receive is: error: unknown tagged argument ':create' for the fileinto command (reported only once at first occurence). My sieve script: require ["date", "variables", "fileinto"]; if header :contains "subject" "Bacula:" { if currentdate :matches "month" "*" { set "month" "${1}"; } if currentdate :matches "year" "*" { set "year" "${1}"; } fileinto :create "INBOX.Bacula.${month}-${year}"; } else { # The rest goes into INBOX # default is "implicit keep", we do it explicitly here keep; } My dovecot conf: papua:/usr/local/bin# dovecot -n # 2.0.11: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 x86_64 Debian 6.0.1 auth_cache_negative_ttl = 2 mins auth_cache_size = 1000 M auth_cache_ttl = 2 mins auth_mechanisms = plain cram-md5 apop auth_username_chars = abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ01234567890.-_@& disable_plaintext_auth = no first_valid_uid = 100 last_valid_uid = 105 lda_mailbox_autocreate = yes lock_method = dotlock log_timestamp = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S " login_greeting = Server ready. mail_fsync = never mail_gid = Debian-exim mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir mail_privileged_group = Debian-exim mail_uid = Debian-exim managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = INBOX. separator = . type = private } passdb { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf driver = sql } plugin/mail_log_events = delete expunge plugin/mail_log_group_events = plugin/quota = maildir plugin/quota_warning = storage=80%% /usr/local/bin/dovecot-quota-warning.sh 80 plugin/quota_warning2 = storage=90%% /usr/local/bin/dovecot-quota-warning.sh 90 plugin/sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve protocols = imap service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { group = Debian-exim mode = 0600 user = Debian-exim } } service imap-login { client_limit = 256 process_limit = 128 process_min_avail = 3 service_count = 1 } service imap { drop_priv_before_exec = yes process_limit = 256 vsz_limit = 256 M } service pop3-login { client_limit = 256 process_limit = 128 process_min_avail = 3 service_count = 1 } service pop3 { drop_priv_before_exec = yes process_limit = 256 vsz_limit = 256 M } ssl_cert =</usr/local/etc/dovecot.crt ssl_key =</usr/local/etc/dovecot.key userdb { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf driver = sql } protocol imap { mail_max_userip_connections = 10 mail_plugins = " notify quota imap_quota mail_log" } protocol lda { mail_plugins = quota sieve postmaster_address = postmaster(a)me.com }
