[Dovecot] IMAP super user
by Thiago Henrique 15 Jul '10

15 Jul '10

Hello, Is there any directive in Dovecot similar to 'imap_admins' of Cyrus? I plan to migrate from Cyrus to Dovecot. But I need a admin user which is able to obtain information about the quotas of common users. Thank you. -- []'s Thiago Henrique Network Administration Digirati Networks K8 Networks

[Dovecot] help on migrating some old Maildirs
by Leonardo Rodrigues 15 Jul '10

15 Jul '10

Hi, i need to restore some old mail backups from a system i wasnt the admin. Emails are on Maildir, which i'm using on the actual server, so should be no big deal. I'm just thinking of copying files from the folders i need, from the old backup, to the specific dirs on the actual system. buuuut, watching the backup, i noticed that LOTS of files on the Maildirs do not have the S= parameters on its name nor W=. For example: 1230230396.V80bI4e007fM790805.correio.domain.com.br:2, 1230463524.V80bI4e0080M837823.correio.domain.com.br:2, 1230571206.V80bI4e0081M519106.correio.domain.com.br:2, 1231170098.V80bI4e0083M519957.correio.domain.com.br:2, 1231682500.V80bI4e0084M584988.correio.domain.com.br:2, files from the actual system looks like: 1278311553.M754372P13693.correio.domain.com.br,S=5742,W=5864:2, 1278668323.M110437P31421.correio.domain.com.br,S=4489,W=4590:2, 1278311669.M981814P13835.correio.domain.com.br,S=7404,W=7563:2, 1278669074.M556000P31506.correio.domain.com.br,S=4397,W=4504:2, i've already tested copying those files to a current Maildir and it works just fine, no problem at all on that. There's no problem on the restore of those messages itself. Anyway, my questions are .... 1) do the lack of S= and W= parameters will negatively impact on something ? Quota calculation comes to my head about that .... as i'll have to restore several thousands of messages, i'm worried about negative impacts on anything 2) is there any way of having dovecot to calculating the S= and W= parameters and renaming those files and, thus, avoiding some negative impact caused by the lack of them ? i'm using dovecot 1.2.11 ...... thanks ! -- Atenciosamente / Sincerily, Leonardo Rodrigues Solutti Tecnologia http://www.solutti.com.br Minha armadilha de SPAM, NÃO mandem email gertrudes(a)solutti.com.br My SPAMTRAP, do not email it

[Dovecot] Director proxy timeout
by Brad Davidson 15 Jul '10

15 Jul '10

Timo, Is the director proxy inactivity timeout configurable? I just recently attempted to switch our production webmail's imapproxy system to use a pool of two directors and ran into problems with it apparently disconnecting them unexpectedly. I don't believe that it IDLEs, I think it just UNSELECTs to reset the state and then keeps the connection open until it's used again, or until a configurable delay has elapsed, after which it logs out on its own. I've got the imapproxy inactivity delay set to 300 seconds, and it seems like the director is disconnecting them before that time is up. I haven't had the same problem when imapproxy connects directly to the backend servers, which are running 1.2.12. On the webmail system, imapproxy is logging a LOT of: Jul 11 21:10:21 cc-mailapps1 in.imapproxyd[28477]: IMAP_Line_Read(): connection closed prematurely. The director shows: Jul 11 21:10:14 cc-popmap7p dovecot: imap-login: proxy(jacintha): disconnecting 172.25.142.164 The backend server shows: Jul 11 21:10:14 cc-popmap2p dovecot: imap: user=<jacintha>, rip=10.142.0.162, pid=8629: Connection closed bytes=855/46109 Roundcube seems to handle the disconnects pretty badly, leaving a bunch of Apache processes chewing up CPU time. -Brad

[Dovecot] pigeonhole, regex, UTF-8
by Trever L. Adams 14 Jul '10

14 Jul '10

Hello, I am just learning about pigeonhole and thinking of using it. I see that regex doesn't supportf UTF-8. Any particular reason for this? If it is a library problem is the library, have you looked at tre? I am using it in a project (I am using it in wchar_t mode because elsewhere all date is converted to wchar_t). It does work with UTF-8. Thanks, Trever

[Dovecot] domain quota dictionary
by alex 14 Jul '10

14 Jul '10

Hi I just configure dovecot with the second dictionary for the domain quota dict { quotadict = mysql:/usr/local/etc/dovecot-quota.conf quota_domain = mysql:/usr/local/etc/dovecot-quota-domain.conf } plugin { quota = dict:user::proxy::quotadict quota2 = dict:domain:%d:proxy::quota_domain } and the dovecot-quota-domain.conf looks like this : connect = host=xxx dbname=xxx user=xxxx password=xxxx map { pattern = priv/quota/storage table = domain_quota username_field = domain value_field = used_quota } map { pattern = priv/quota/messages table = domain_quota username_field = domain value_field = messages } The problem is that the dictionary table gets updated only with the first mailbox informations (quota and messages for the first mailbox within domain that is accessed). I suppose that have something to do with the pattern but I can't find any docs for what the pattern must look in the case of a domain quota dictionary. Can anybody help me with a working example or some docs. Alex

Hello, i am currently testing Dovecot 2.0 rc1 with Maildir format, and it seems impossible to share the Inbox of one user with another user. user1 shares Inbox with user2 user2 makes List command: 1 list "" "*" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Sent" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "AutoCleanSpam" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Trash" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Drafts" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "INBOX" * LIST (\Noselect \HasNoChildren) "/" "FremdeOrdner" 1 OK List completed. INBOX of user1 which was shared is missing! user1 shares Trash/test with user2: user2 makes List command: 1 list "" "*" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Sent" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "AutoCleanSpam" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Trash" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Drafts" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "INBOX" * LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "/" "FremdeOrdner" * LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "/" "FremdeOrdner/user1" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "FremdeOrdner/user1/Trash/test" 1 OK List completed. Trash/test is there, INBOX of user1 is still missing! Filesystem structure is as folled: ~user1/maildir/dovecot-acl: user=user2 ilrws ~user1/maildir/dovecot-acl-list: 1278592283 Trash/test Now there is the following problem: ~user1/maildir/dovecot-acl-list BEFORE list command of user2: 1278592732 INBOX 1278592283 Trash/test ~user1/maildir/dovecot-acl-list AFTER list command of user2: 1278592283 Trash/test It seems, that after user2 makes the list command, the acl for INBOX is gone missing.

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/rc/dovecot-2.0.rc2.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/rc/dovecot-2.0.rc2.tar.gz.sig Largest fixes since rc1: - Fixed a crash with empty mail_plugins - Fixed sharing INBOX to other users - mdbox: Rebuilding storage was broken in rc1 - dsync was broken for remote syncs in rc1 - director+LMTP proxy wasn't working correctly - v1.x config parser failed with some settings if pigeonhole wasn't installed. - virtual: If non-matching messages weren't expunged within same session, they never got expunged. Now that the stupidest mistakes are fixed, perhaps this release will do better :)

[Dovecot] Migrating to dovecot configuration questions
by Adam 14 Jul '10

I am currently running a mail server on an earlier version of Red Hat Advanced Server, sendmail and UW IMAP (imap-2007e). I am considering changing to Dovecot for IMAP but have a few configuration questions in regards to a hashed directory setup. Right now the mail spool for everyone's mailbox is located in /var/mail/first letter of email address/second letter of email address, for example ajaym would be found in /var/mail/a/j ,email address john would be in /var/mail/j/o and so on..... Most users using IMAP have a home directory where they can store their personal folders, trash, sent items, etc.. in /home/username. I am looking for some configuration information on making a smooth transition from UW IMAP to Dovecot and keeping the existing directory structure. Any info or suggestions?? Thanks Adam -
