[Dovecot] fts, solr, and client support
by Kelsey Cummings 04 Sep '10

04 Sep '10

I've been playing around with the fts plugins and currently have solr up and running. While the initial indexing time is pretty rough, the search performance is impressive. I've run into a problem though- so far as I can tell, thunderbird (and most other popular clients?) won't actually take advantage of it. Even using thunderbird's advanced search and checking the 'run serach on server' box doesn't push the search to the server. If most popular clients don't support it, there doesn't seem much point in setting it up; which is a shame, solr beats the snot out of the built in search for thunderbird. That said, is anyone running any of the fts plugins in a large scale environment? If so, what kind of scaling issues do you see? How do the search servers compare hardware wise to users count/spool size? -- Kelsey Cummings - kgc(a)corp.sonic.net sonic.net, inc.

[Dovecot] user/domain-dependent autosubscribe ?
by Per Jessen 03 Sep '10

03 Sep '10

Newbie alert! Dovecot 2.0rc3 I've got autosubscribe working very well, but I need to make it dependent on the domain - e.g. domain example.com will have folders (a,b,c), while domain example2.com will have (d,e,f). Any hints on how to achieve that? /Per Jessen, Zürich

[Dovecot] Best way to migrate from qmail-ldap's autoreply?
by Attila Nagy 03 Sep '10

03 Sep '10

Hi, qmail-ldap uses four LDAP attributes for handling autoreplies in qmail-local: - deliverymode (to see whether the autoreply should be send) - mailreplytext, which is a base64 encoded multiline string* - mailreplystart and mailreplystop, unix dates I'm wondering how this could be handled with Dovecot (2.0) in the most easier way. All I could find out so far: - patching the code - writing a plugin (it it possible to get these LDAP attributes in the LMTPd with a single userdb-lookup and get it from the plugin during a new mail event? Any examples?) - conditionally provide these values to a sieve script and process them accordingly (the base64 string and maybe the dates seem to be hard for the first glimpse) the mad stuff: - using an LD_PRELOAD library, which emulates per user sieve scripts according to LDAP lookups (gives a lot more flexibility) - an LMTP proxy/server, which does all this and forwards the traffic to the Dovecot LMTPd/deliver process * a sample mailreplytext looks like this: '''%HEADER% Content-type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" távol vagyok''' (of course this is in UTF-8).

[Dovecot] Maybe wrong quota recalculation behaviour on overquota delivery try
by Luca Palazzo 03 Sep '10

03 Sep '10

Hi all, we are experencing some, may be strange, slowness in our dovecot/postfix mail system. We have three dovecot 2.0.1 server with LMTP, POP3 and IMAP enabled. Three shared OCFS2 filesystem are used for mail storage. We have too a load balancer based on dovecot director in front of these three server. Our SMTP cluster receives mail and send by LMTP to load balancer. Everything work flowless, but sometime, under heavy load, three server slow down a lot. Our mail gateway logs a lot of: status=deferred (host 10.194.1.20[10.194.1.20] said: 451 4.4.0 Remote server not answering (DATA output timeout) IP 10.194.1.20 is dovecot director. Looking at mbox servers log nothing seem to happen, but stracing lmtp process we can see stat system calls to all Maildir files, as if dovecot was recalculating quota and regenerating maildirsize file. It happens always when LMTP tries to deliver a mail to an overquota account. Is this possible and right? How can we look deeper in system to have more information? Best regards Luca PS: dovecot configuration for maildir servers is: # 2.0.1: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.26-2-686-bigmem i686 Debian 5.0.5 auth_master_user_separator = * auth_verbose = yes disable_plaintext_auth = no mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir mail_plugins = $mail_plugins notify mail_log quota managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = comparator-i;octet comparator-i;ascii-casemap fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date spamtest spamtestplus virustest passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } plugin { mail_log_events = delete undelete expunge copy mailbox_delete mailbox_rename mail_log_fields = uid box msgid from size quota = maildir:User quota quota_warning = storage=95%% quota-warning.sh 95 %u quota_warning2 = storage=80%% quota-warning.sh 80 %u sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve sieve_global_dir = /etc/dovecot/sieve/global/ sieve_global_path = /etc/dovecot/sieve/default.sieve } protocols = imap pop3 lmtp sieve service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { group = dovecot mode = 0600 user = dovecot } } service director { inet_listener { port = 8100 } } service lmtp { inet_listener lmtp { address = 10.194.1.31 127.0.0.1 ::1 port = 24 } } service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve { address = 10.194.1.31 127.0.0.1 ::1 port = 4190 } process_min_avail = 0 service_count = 1 } service quota-warning { executable = script /virtual/shared/quota-warning.sh unix_listener quota-warning { user = vmail } user = dovecot } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } verbose_proctitle = yes protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins quota sieve } protocol lda { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins quota } protocol imap { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins quota imap_quota } protocol pop3 { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins quota }

[Dovecot] minor director issues
by Cor Bosman 03 Sep '10

03 Sep '10

I noticed 2 minor things with the director. 1) if I start 2 directors, but in 1 of them I dont add the other as a director_servers, they both start spamming the logfiles really really fast. It seems there is no backoff mechanism in the protocol between directors. 2) user mail server ip expire time cor 194.109.26.171 2010-09-02 14:32:13 <unknown> 194.109.26.172 2010-09-02 14:33:13 Why does it say 'unknown'? That session is active, im manually logged in with telnet, issued a login and a select inbox. The first one is a normal mail client login. Regards, Cor
