[Dovecot] listen to imap*s* on multiple ports?
by Frank Cusack 17 Jan '10

17 Jan '10

<http://wiki.dovecot.org/QuestionsAndAnswers#Is_it_possible_to_have_Dovecot_…> is out of date. How can I listen to ssl-wrapped IMAP on multiple ports? I need to listen on both 993 (for some stupid clients I have to support that can't do START TLS) and 80 (to get past L3/L4 firewalls). I'd like to do it in dovecot rather than use nc, ipfilter or whatever. -frank

[Dovecot] handling filename of compressed messages
by Leonardo Rodrigues 17 Jan '10

17 Jan '10

i'm running dovecot 1.2.9 and, among other things, i have the zlib plugin enabled. A shell script runs once a day to compresses all not still compressed files on the users maildirs. so far so good, it works fine, there's no problem on that. what i think is not happening 100% correctly is the following: 1) user receives a message 2) BEFORE the compress routine runs, filename is: new/1263436052.V6814I43300b4M146002.correio.domain.com.br,S=238207 3) AFTER the compress routine, filename is now: new/1263436052.V6814I43300b4M146002.correio.domain.com.br,S=238207.gz 4) user check his mail .... and now the filename is cur/1263436052.V6814I43300b4M146002.correio.domain.com.br,S=238207.gz:2,S 5) user replies that mail .... and now the filename is cur/1263436052.V6814I43300b4M146002.correio.domain.com.br,S=238207.gz:2,RS i'm aware that dovecot doesnt need the '.gz' extension on the file to recognize that as a gzipped file. Even without the .gz extension, dovecot is correctly reading the file. the '.gz' is not even necessary on the filename and still dovecot can handle it fine. anyway, i would like to suggest dovecot to handle the filename to keep the .gz extension, if that exists. This could help sysadmins to easily identify gzipped files on the maildirs and make anything with them, if that's desired. i would like to see dovecot changing filenames properly and keeping the .gz extension always, for example cur/1263436052.V6814I43300b4M146002.correio.domain.com.br,S=238207:2,S.gz instead of cur/1263436052.V6814I43300b4M146002.correio.domain.com.br,S=238207.gz:2,S cur/1263436052.V6814I43300b4M146002.correio.domain.com.br,S=238207:2,RS.gz instead of cur/1263436052.V6814I43300b4M146002.correio.domain.com.br,S=238207.gz:2,RS -- 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] sieve: failed to save binary

RHEL 5.3 Dovecot 2.0 beta1 dovecot-sieve (updated 1 week ago, changeset a3eb0b0b2ddf) Jan 15 11:30:06 mail4a dovecot: lmtp(31015, testmail4a2(a)dev.p4nt5.com) sieve: using sieve path for user's script: /data/mail/de/ dev.p4nt5.com/te/testmail4a2/.dovecot.sieve Jan 15 11:30:06 mail4a dovecot: lmtp(31015, testmail4a2(a)dev.p4nt5.com) sieve: executed before user's script(1): /etc/dovecot/dovecot-global-sieve.sieve Jan 15 11:30:06 mail4a dovecot: lmtp(31015, testmail4a2(a)dev.p4nt5.com) afEDDB6mUEsneQAA0TR52A: sieve: failed to save binary: open(/etc/dovecot/dovecot-global-sieve.svbinmail4a.31015.) failed: Permission denied (euid=5000(virtual) egid=5000(virtual) missing +w perm: /etc/dovecot) It seems that Dovecot wants to save it as something specific with a different name. Even running sievec manually does not make it work. Thanks, Wenjie

I'm moving back to Finland tomorrow. It's probably going to take a week or so until things settle down and I'm again back to coding.

[Dovecot] shared namespace bug?
by Patrick Kaiser 14 Jan '10

14 Jan '10

Hi, finally i got shared namespace up and running. But for example if user peter.griffin shares his inbox to another user, the LIST "" "*" output on telnet looks like: a02 LIST "" "*" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Trash" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "INBOX" * LIST (\Noselect) "/" "shared/peter.griffi" * LIST (\HasChildren) "/" "shared/peter.griffin" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "shared/peter.griffinINBOX" a02 OK List completed. To share the inbox I previously run as logged in user peter.griffin a02 SETACL inbox peter.griffin lwxrk If I look in thunderbird, i can see under "share" two folders: peter.griffi and peter.griffin. Have i made something wrong, or is this a bug? Hope someone can help me. thanks, patrick -- Name : Patrick Kaiser Email : patrick.kaiser(a)argonius.de Phone : +49 (178) 8452388 Website : http://www.argonius.de GPG Key : http://www.argonius.de/key.pub

[Dovecot] uw-imap compatability hack?
by Simon Annetts 14 Jan '10

14 Jan '10

Hi all Apologies if this question has already been asked before... I'm migrating from a uw-imap setup where the mail folders were in a subdir mail/ in the users' home directories. All of the clients are configured with 'IMAP server directory' set to mail/ (Thunderbird) and it would be difficult to change this on the clients (there are 1000s of them) I want to use maildir and I have converted the original mbox files in ~mail/ to maildir format. So in ~Maildir/ I now have: cur dovecot.index dovecot.index.cache dovecot.index.log dovecot-uidlist .Drafts new .Sent-Items .Spam subscriptions tmp .Trash if I remove the mail/ setting from 'IMAP server directory' in the client, then everything works as expected and all the folders are visible. With this setting in however, only the inbox is visible and attempts to click on another folder, say Trash result in the client error: Mailbox doesn't exist .mail.Trash I've tried various namespace configurations I found in the namespaces wiki example but none seem to work. What I would really like to happen is for dovecot to ignore this setting supplied by the client and not to prepend .mail onto the folders it is looking for. Is there a clever namespace that will do this for me, or some other setting or symlink trickery? Ultimately I want to support clients that might have both mail/ and nothing set in this box.

[Dovecot] How to configure dovecot to listen on multiple separate port numbers
by Rick Thomas 14 Jan '10

14 Jan '10

Is there any way to tell dovecot to listen for imap/imaps requests on all interfaces on multiple separate ports? For example, can I do this: protocol imap { listen = *:10143 listen = *:143 ssl_listen = *:10993 ssl_listen = *:993 ... } Thanks! Rick

[Dovecot] Sieve and ManageSieve for Dovecot v2.0 merged into one repository
by Stephan Bosch 13 Jan '10

13 Jan '10

Hi, I've merged the Mercurial repositories for Sieve and ManageSieve for Dovecot v2.0 into one repository: http://hg.rename-it.nl/dovecot-2.0-pigeonhole This simplifies the build process significantly. It also allows tightly integrating the implementation of the script storage with the main Sieve library, enabling the possibility to implement alternate means of script storage, like for instance a SQL or LDAP database. Building ManageSieve is still optional as outlined in the INSTALL file. The old v2.0 repositories will be archived soon. I'm slowly but surely progressing towards a first Pigeonhole release for Dovecot v2.0. Regards, Stephan
