Here's an example: require ["variables", "envelope", "fileinto", "subaddress"]; if envelope :is :user "to" "sales" { if envelope :matches :detail "to" "*" { /* Save name in ${name} in all lowercase except for the first letter. * Joe, joe, jOe thus all become 'Joe'. */ set :lower :upperfirst "name" "${1}"; } if string :is "${name}" "" { /* Default case if no detail is specified */ fileinto "sales"; } else { /* For sales+joe@ this will become users/Joe */ fileinto "users/${name}"; } } Regards, Stephan.

[Dovecot] Seperator
by Carsten Laun-De Lellis 25 Apr '11

25 Apr '11

Hi all I hope to get some help on the separator. I am sure that I hava a wrong understanding what the separator is. I thaught the separator is the delimiter within the imap folder structure. For example: Imap folder structure: folder Flights, subfolder Lufthansa If the delimiter is . the ls a command should result: .Flights .Flights.Lufthansa If delimiter is / Flights Flights/Lufthansa I tried several delimiters but only the . Works. My dovecot.conf file: mail_location = maildir:/vmail/%d/%n namespace { type = private separator = / location = maildir:/vmail/%d/%n inbox = yes subscriptions = yes } I would appreciate any help Mit freundlichem Gruß Carsten Laun-De Lellis Dipl.-Ing.

[Dovecot] Thunderbird does not notice new mails arrival in imap folders
by Frank Bonnet 24 Apr '11

24 Apr '11

Hello Since I've installed Dovecot 2 I've observed that TB does not notice new mails arrival in IMAP folders. When I click on a folder new mails count is updated, with dovecot 1 it was automatic. I wonder if it is due to the new TB version (lastest stable) or Dovecot 2 (2.0.11). I use MBOX format.

[Dovecot] sieve & plus addressing
by Jerry 22 Apr '11

22 Apr '11

Assume and e-mail address of: me+dovecot(a)domain.com I have a sieve script that sorts mail into the appropriate folders using "+" addressing. I want to extend it to also work with mailing list like this one. A post from the dovecot forum arrives with a Delivered-To: me+dovecot(a)domain.com when I receive it. The "To" is to dovecot. I cannot figure out a way to get sieve to filter on the "Delivered-To" portion rather than the "To" portion using plus addressing. There are several other names; i.e, john, joe, bill, nancy, etcetera that would have the plus suffix of (in this scenario anyway) dovecot. Filtering on each individual address would be a real PIA. I believe it is not supported though. EXAMPLE: This works fine when filtering on the "To" attribute: Assuming email address: me+dovecot(a)domain.com ## Plus Addressing if envelope :detail "To" "dovecot" {fileinto "Dovecot"; stop;} Unfortunately, I cannot substitute the "Delivered-To" attribute in place of the "To" one. I know and currently do sort based on the "List-ID" attribute; however, I have other reasons for wanting to sort only on the delivery address. Is there anyway to actually incorporate the plus addressing feature with the delivery address? -- Jerry ✌ Dovecot.user(a)seibercom.net Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.

Serving it temporarily from a machine in my home. I'll move it to better hosting in a few days. And I guess I should make it more fail safe some day soon.. Lets see if mailman happens to work now.

[Dovecot] the right way to delete mailbox/user home
by Davide Vaghetti 21 Apr '11

21 Apr '11

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear list, we are using dovecot with mdbox to provide mail services for a community of 1000 academic users. We have quite a big turnover of guest users, so we often have to deprovision the allocated resources, that is the mailboxes. Given that the users are virtual, and that the mdbox directory is located in the home directory of each virtual user (static userdb), is it ok to simply delete (rm -rf) the home directory to get rid of the mailbox? Could the delete, without say a dovecot reload, be harmful for dovecot processes and the like? thanks davide - -- Dott.

[Dovecot] Running mailfront under dovecot2.x service supervision
by Uffe Jakobsen 21 Apr '11

21 Apr '11

Hello, Hello, I'm trying to run mailfront SMTP (http://untroubled.org/mailfront/) under Dovecot 2.x process/service supervision My intention was to utilize the fact that dovecot2.x seems to have some kind of generic process/service supervision as well as builtin ssl support. But I cannot get the most simple generic service setup (without ssl) to work. Currently running dovecot 2.0.11 on FreeBSD 8.1 service smtp-auth { executable = /usr/local/bin/smtpfront-qmail inet_listener smtp-auth { port = 587 ssl = no } } I have added the above to dovecot.conf Once I start dovecot everything seems fine - no errors in the log But at the first attempt to telnet to localhost port 587 - I instantly get the indication of never ending forks in the dovecot log (see below) - neither do I get the SMTP prompt that I expected in my telnet session - it just hangs. Apr 19 10:05:34 smtp-auth: Error: mailfront[43539]: bytes in: 0 bytes out: 29 Apr 19 10:05:34 smtp-auth: Error: mailfront[43541]: bytes in: 0 bytes out: 29 Apr 19 10:05:34 smtp-auth: Error: mailfront[43543]: bytes in: 0 bytes out: 29 Apr 19 10:05:34 smtp-auth: Error: mailfront[43545]: bytes in: 0 bytes out: 29 Question is if I've misconfigured something or if it is impossible to utilize dovecot2.x this way ? PS: Now I know that I could use daemontools or such for this task - but I like the dovecot ssl handling and would like to end up by wrapping this smtp service inside same dovecot ssl that I use for IMAPS. Any feedback is more than welcome - I'm stuck Thanks in advance Uffe -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Running-mailfront-under-dovecot2.x-service-supervisio… Sent from the Dovecot mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Re: [Dovecot] LDA null logging patch

I tried to contribute by updating the wiki docs, but it belched when I saved the update: TextCha: Wrong answer! Go back and try again... Here's what I tried to add at the bottom (in text mode) The {{{deliver_log_format}}} specifies logging details for a successful delivery. (versions>2.0.13: leaving it empty will disable this logging). See example configuration files for a full list of variable expansion: {{{ delivery_log_format = msgid=%m: %$ }}} Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

[Dovecot] Umask of Homedir
by Francisco Wagner C. Freire 20 Apr '11

20 Apr '11

Hello, I following the instrucions of: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Permissions When the user receive the first mail, dovecot create the directory structure always using mode 0700, if i change the permission of the user maildir all new mails arrived get the correct umask: dovecot: lmtp(24960, *): Debug: Namespace INBOX.: Using permissions from .../maildir: mode=0770 The problem is: I need to all accounts have the permission 0770. Tried to use the option: mail_access_groups but doesn't work at all when the first creation of the user path. "For example a simple way to set up shared mailbox access for all system users is to make all mail dirs/files 0770/0660 mode and owned by group "sharedmail" and then set mail_access_groups=sharedmail. Using more fine grained groups of course leaks less mail data in case there's a security hole in Dovecot" Is a bug? My dovecot version: doveconf -n # 2.0.12 (811a6d173bb2): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 x86_64 Debian 6.0.1 Access groups: mail_access_groups = _sysadms Thanks and sorry for bad english.
