[Dovecot] using dovecot deliver
by Per Laine 13 Jan '10

13 Jan '10

Hi all! This is my first posting to the list and I really could use some help in getting postfix using dovecot as virtual_transport. I get an error in dovecot-deliver.log that says "Can't connect to auth server at /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot: Permission denied" Im using postfix as MTA with two virtual domains and virtual users. This is my dovecot -n output: # 1.1.11: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.31-17-generic-pae i686 Ubuntu 9.10 ext4 base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/ log_path: /var/log/dovecot info_log_path: /var/log/dovecot.info log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: imap pop3 imaps pop3s managesieve ssl_cert_file: /etc/ssl/smtpd.crt ssl_key_file: /etc/ssl/smtpd.key disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-login login_executable(managesieve): /usr/lib/dovecot/managesieve-login valid_chroot_dirs: /var/spool/vmail mail_location: maildir:/home/vmail/%d/%n mail_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 mail_executable(managesieve): /usr/lib/dovecot/managesieve mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(managesieve): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/managesieve sieve_storage(default): sieve_storage(imap): sieve_storage(pop3): sieve_storage(managesieve): ~/sieve sieve(default): sieve(imap): sieve(pop3): sieve(managesieve): ~/.dovecot.sieve auth default: mechanisms: plain login verbose: yes passdb: driver: passwd-file args: /etc/dovecot/passwd userdb: driver: passwd-file args: /etc/dovecot/users socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix plugin: sieve: ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir: ~/sieve Kind regards Pelle

[Dovecot] Allow POP3 per Domain
by Hauke Hagedorn 13 Jan '10

13 Jan '10

Hi List, I wonder, if it is possible to "switch" POP3 on or off for specific domains. Actually I want to disallow POP3-logins for a certain domain, whereas users can still login into a webinterface via IMAP. Curently I use Dovecot 1.1.11 on current Ubuntu 9.10 with a mySQL backend for authentication. With kind regards Hauke

[Dovecot] problems running dsync

got it, I have extdata working fine now for simple commands like redirect. vacation doesn't seem to be working properly - in that a message is not returned to the sender. I'll continue to test this with and without extdata and report back if I still can't get this to work by the end of my day (~18:00 @ UTC+11) I have also updated the wiki with sieve plugin testing information http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve/Dovecot "Script Compling with Sieve Plugins" Cheers, -Martin Foster Stephan Bosch wrote : > Martin F.

[Dovecot] Discard duplicate messages at delivery?
by Nicolas KOWALSKI 12 Jan '10

12 Jan '10

Hello, I am using dovecot 1.2.9, and the sieve plugin for filtering incoming messages into specific folders. The MTA is postfix, and deliver is called using the "mailbox_command = /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver" directive. Is it possible to make dovecot's deliver discard duplicate messages? With cyrus there is a duplicatesuppression directive which works well (http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/imapd/overview.html#duplicate) With procmail, this can be done with the following recipe, but I did not found an equivalent for dovecot: # One often receives duplicate messages for cross-postings to mailing # lists, or explicit replies to a post from you in addition to the # mailing list message. # # The following recipe eliminates all duplicate messages. It tells # formail(1) to keep a cache file of the Message-IDs of the most # recent messages you've received. Since Message-IDs are guaranteed # unique for distinct messages, they are ideally suited to weed out # duplicates. # :0 Wh: msgid.lock | formail -D 65536 .saves.msgid Thanks, -- Nicolas

[Dovecot] Silent migration from mbox to maildir?
by Götz Reinicke - IT-Koordinator 12 Jan '10

12 Jan '10

Hi, after migrating to a new hardware (which is soo soooo mutch faster than the old one) I start to think about migrating from mbox to maildir. I'v read some docs and wikies and some questions are unanswered or maybe I skip the answers: - Is it possible to migrate the mboxes "silent" e.g. if a user logs in the mbox is converted? - regarding the Namespaces wiki article, it is possible to mix mbox and Maildir for one user. Is it possible to use this setup for all newly created accounts? or - Is it possible to have maildir set up for all newly created accounts while the old accounts still use mbox? Thanks for any suggestion and best regards, Götz -- Götz Reinicke IT-Koordinator Tel. +49 7141 969 420 Fax +49 7141 969 55 420 E-Mail goetz.reinicke(a)filmakademie.de Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg GmbH Akademiehof 10 71638 Ludwigsburg www.filmakademie.de Eintragung Amtsgericht Stuttgart HRB 205016 Vorsitzende des Aufsichtsrats: Prof. Dr. Claudia Hübner Staatsrätin für Demographischen Wandel und für Senioren im Staatsministerium Geschäftsführer: Prof. Thomas Schadt

[Dovecot] Dovecot Quota Problem
by Ken Price 12 Jan '10

12 Jan '10

I'm using Dovecot LDA with Exim. I'm also using Dictionary Quotas in a MySQL database. I want to avoid backscatter completely, so I set "quota_full_tempfail = yes" and handle quota checking in the Exim RCPT ACL during the SMTP session. The problem lies in the case where a user's account is nearly full. Smaller messages will continue to come through, but a larger message would get queued for retry since it will push the account over quota. I need Dovecot's quota to exhibit the same behavior as Exim's "quota_is_inclusive=false". >From Exim docs: quota_is_inclusive=false When this is done, the check for exceeding the quota does not include the current message. Thus, deliveries continue until the quota has been exceeded; thereafter, no futher messages are delivered. Any ideas on how I can implement this inside of Dovecot? Thanks, -Ken Price

[Dovecot] Problem in LSUB?

Hi guys, I'm not 100% sure about the dovecot version in the server because I don't have access to it, just an account, but I think it's 1.1-rc4 I'm an email client developer and I have a doubt about the behaviour of LSUB that I think it's buggy.
