[Dovecot] Patch for second fs quota under solaris
by Juergen Obermann 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

Hallo. We use dovecot 1.2.12 running under Solaris 9 and wanted to set up a second filesystem quota root because the mail folders are in the users home directories and the inboxes of all users are in /var/mail. This is defined in dovecot.conf: quota = fs:Home-Verzeichnis:noenforcing quota2 = fs:INBOX:noenforcing:mount=/var/mail This second quota did not work, but now I found the reason why. The mountpoint_get in src/lib/mountpoint.c needs to call resetmnttab to find the filesystem for the second quota root (see man resetmnttab). The following patches correct this and also adds some debugging code to src/plugins/quota/quota-fs.c to show the processing of quota2. These patches are only needed for Solaris with filesystem quotas. dovecot-1.2.12 ############## *** ./src/lib/mountpoint.c.orig Mon Jan 25 00:14:17 2010 --- ./src/lib/mountpoint.c Thu Jul 8 11:21:11 2010 *************** *** 164,169 **** --- 164,170 ---- i_error("fopen(%s) failed: %m", MTAB_PATH); return -1; } + resetmnttab(f); while ((getextmntent(f, &ent.ext, sizeof(ent.ext))) == 0) { if (hasmntopt(&ent.ent, MNTOPT_IGNORE) != NULL) continue; *** ./src/plugins/quota/quota-fs.c.orig Sat Jun 19 00:12:44 2010 --- ./src/plugins/quota/quota-fs.c Wed Jul 7 16:54:20 2010 *************** *** 249,256 **** continue; mount = fs_quota_mountpoint_get(root->storage_mount_path); ! if (mount != NULL) fs_quota_mount_init(root, mount); } } --- 249,263 ---- continue; mount = fs_quota_mountpoint_get(root->storage_mount_path); ! if (mount != NULL) { ! if (quota->set->debug) { ! i_info("fs quota2 add storage dir = %s", root->storage_mount_path); ! i_info("fs quota2 block device = %s", mount->device_path); ! i_info("fs quota2 mount point = %s", mount->mount_path); ! i_info("fs quota2 mount type = %s", mount->type); ! } fs_quota_mount_init(root, mount); + } } } dovecot-2.0.rc1 ############### *** ./src/lib/mountpoint.c.orig Mon Jan 25 00:16:12 2010 --- ./src/lib/mountpoint.c Thu Jul 8 11:24:10 2010 *************** *** 164,169 **** --- 164,170 ---- i_error("fopen(%s) failed: %m", MTAB_PATH); return -1; } + resetmnttab(f); while ((getextmntent(f, &ent.ext, sizeof(ent.ext))) == 0) { if (hasmntopt(&ent.ent, MNTOPT_IGNORE) != NULL) continue; *** ./src/plugins/quota/quota-fs.c.orig Fri Jul 2 21:32:40 2010 --- ./src/plugins/quota/quota-fs.c Wed Jul 7 12:52:38 2010 *************** *** 264,271 **** continue; mount = fs_quota_mountpoint_get(root->storage_mount_path); ! if (mount != NULL) fs_quota_mount_init(root, mount); } } --- 264,278 ---- continue; mount = fs_quota_mountpoint_get(root->storage_mount_path); ! if (mount != NULL) { ! if (quota->set->debug) { ! i_debug("fs quota2 add mailbox dir = %s", root->storage_mount_path); ! i_debug("fs quota2 block device = %s", mount->device_path); ! i_debug("fs quota2 mount point = %s", mount->mount_path); ! i_debug("fs quota2 mount type = %s", mount->type); ! } fs_quota_mount_init(root, mount); + } } } Greetings, Jürgen Obermann -- Hochschulrechenzentrum der | Mail: Juergen.Obermann(a)hrz.uni-giessen.de Justus-Liebig-Universitaet | WWW: http://www.uni-giessen.de/obermann Heinrich-Buff-Ring 44 | Tel: 0641-99-13054 (0641-99-13001) D-35392 Giessen, Germany | Fax: 0641-99-13009

[Dovecot] dovecot 2.0 rc1 missing folder INBOX
by Burckhard Schmidt 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

Hello, I have maildir format, and usually I found a folder "INBOX" in older versions of dovecot. Now I get this folder structure: ~user/maildir with folder new tmp cur Drafts (auto generated) Sent (auto) Trash (auto) This happens if a first email arrives or the user logs in the first time. If I connect direct to the server and send the command 1 list "" "*" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Sent" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Trash" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Drafts" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "INBOX" * LIST (\Noselect \HasNoChildren) "/" "FremdeOrdner" 1 OK List completed. Here "INBOX" is listed. Is this correct no folder "INBOX"? -- Regards --- Burckhard Schmidt

[Dovecot] problems with sieve under 2.0...
by Perry E. Metzger 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

I'm experimenting with a 2.0 setup, using the sieve plugin for 2.0 from mercurial. Without sieve, everything seems to work fine. Once I put in a .dovecot.sieve file, though, nothing gets delivered, with the only hint of what's going wrong being this mess in syslog: Jul 7 13:18:00 bellman dovecot: lda(perry): Panic: file index-transaction.c: line 70 (index_transaction_init): assertion failed: (box->opened) Jul 7 13:18:00 bellman dovecot: lda(perry): Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0 [0x7f55e07fedd2] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_syslog_fatal_handler+0x2b) [0x7f55e07fee7b] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_error+0) [0x7f55e07ff1e3] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0 [0x7f55e0cbdc31] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(index_transaction_begin+0x3f) [0x7f55e0cbdc7f] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mailbox_transaction_begin+0x13) [0x7f55e0c750d3] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-sieve.so.0 [0x7f55df800724] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-sieve.so.0(sieve_result_execute+0x173) [0x7f55df7f9183] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-sieve.so.0(sieve_execute+0x7d) [0x7f55df807b5d] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lib90_sieve_plugin.so [0x7f55dfa3bbed] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-lda.so.0(mail_deliver+0x44) [0x7f55e0a41e84] -> /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda(main+0x692) [0x402f72] -> /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe6) [0x7f55e00831a6] -> /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda [0x402819] Ideas? -- Perry E.

[Dovecot] Thunderbird problem
by Frank Bonnet 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

Hello Some users had occasionally a problem with Thunderbird , some random emails with attachement(s) cannot be read anymore the email appears empty and TB seems to enter in an infinite loop saying it is downloading the message The only solution I found was : 1 - stop thunderbird on the client machine 2 - remove the .imap user's directory 3 - restart thunderbird on the client machine After doing that all emails re-appear normally and attachements are readable/downloadable again. ALL our clients use the IMAP(S) protocol. Anyone had the same problem ? Thanks F

[Dovecot] Australian Internet Filtering Position
by Ryan Halloway 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

List, With sites like this appearing everywhere: http://www.dontfilterme.com and http://nocleanfeed.com/ Just trying to get a general opinion with what everyone thinks of the filtering situation in Australia. Whether you believe its a good thing or a bad thing or you don't really care. I'm writing a letter to an Australian MP (Member of Parliament) and I want to get some actual opinions of what other systems administrators think of the internet filter, even if they are not in Australia. Not only at a technical aspect but at an opinion aspect as well. Either reply on list or pm me. I just want to get a general idea. Thanks, Ryan.

[Dovecot] OT: Sieve + Forward as Attachment
by Jerry 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

I know that this is technically not a Dovecot problem; however, I was wondering if anyone knew if 'sieve' had been updated with the ability to 'forward as attachment' a received document. I believe it has the ability to forward a document; however, I need the ability to forward it as an attachment if possible. Also I believe, somewhat due to my asking for them, that sieve exits with appropriate error codes. Is there a listing of these codes, other than in the actual program code itself, of what those exit codes are? -- Jerry ✌ Dovecot.user(a)seibercom.net Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.

[Dovecot] sieve not respecting userdb_mail setting?

It appears that the lda + sieve does not respect the userdb_mail setting, though the imap server does(!?). Is this expected behavior? Perry -- Perry E. Metzger perry(a)piermont.com

[Dovecot] Manually creating folders from terminal
by A. J. Giurato 07 Jul '10

07 Jul '10

I'm trying to use a script to create a mailbox structure. I'm aware that the structure should look like: ~/.maildir/.INBOX/{cur,tmp,new} ~/.maildir/.INBOX.Subfolder1/{cur,tmp,new} ~/.maildir/.INBOX.Subfolder2/{cur,tmp,new} ~/.maildir/.INBOX.Subfolder2.Subsubfolder1/{cur,tmp,new} ... I have tried manually making those directories and using the "maildirmake.dovecot" command that my system has. I feel that in the past, folders I have made this way worked. However, now none are showing up in my clients. In Thunderbird, they aren't even listed on the "Subscribe" window for me to enable. Using Squirrelmail doesn't show them either. Essentially what I am doing is taking my current IMAP dir structure, and making a copy in a subfolder called ".INBOX.Archive.<year>" to archive my old mail. Thus, .INBOX.Subfolder1.Subfolder2 becomes .INBOX.Archive.2009.Subfolder1.Subfolder2. My system: Ubuntu 8.04 # 1.0.10: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S ssl_listen: * disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login mail_privileged_group: mail mail_access_groups: mail default_mail_env: ~/.maildir mail_location: ~/.maildir auth default: mechanisms: plain login passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix
