[Dovecot] Conditionally use a sieve script with deliver?
by Kārlis Repsons 22 Jan '10

22 Jan '10

I found a post in this list [0], which says sieve scripts can be used to deliver mail as read. However, can it be done somehow conditionally, I mean, with a direct or indirect switch for deliver? For a nonexistent example, it would be simply < | deliver -m path/to/maildir -r > or maybe an environment variable could be exported to deliver sieve and checked there? (Still not sure if sieve can replace maildrop in my case, however, using it with dovecot creates various problems with interoperability; but perhaps I can just add those imap4flags like "\\seen" myself to the message with maildrop and avoid mess with sieve at all?)

[Dovecot] IDLE timing issue - dovecot or fetchmail issue?
by Matt Doran 22 Jan '10

22 Jan '10

Hi guys, Thanks for the great product. We've used dovecot for ages as our internal mail server and it works great! I've recently started using fetchmail 6.3.9 (with IDLE enabled) to download mail from our ISP (Pair networks). The ISP is running Dovecot 1.1.16. I am unable to get the info about the dovecot config at this time. The IDLE support in fetchmail allows us to deliver mail near instantaneously without the need to poll (which is what we did previously using POP3). However I've noticed an issue where if 2 mails are delivered in quick succession fetchmail will only download the first email, and the second will not download. If I then send in another test email this triggers the download of 2 emails (the original that wasn't downloaded and the test email). Now I'm wondering whether the issue lies with Dovecot (e.g. a timing issue), or is it fetchmail that isn't implementing the IDLE/download properly. I've attached the output of a fetchmail session showing this problem in action (I've added some annotations to this file starting with >>>>>). The sequence of events are: * Start fetchmail with IDLE enabled * Send 2 emails in quick succession. * Dovecot notifies of the new message * Fetchmail downloads the message * Fetchmail initiates a new IDLE * Then nothing more is delivered. :( * I then send another email, which triggers the 2 to download. I don't know enough about IMAP to understand whether the problem lies with Dovecot or Fetchmail. Hopefully an IMAP expert will be able to see from the attached IMAP session.

[Dovecot] IMAP only for some users or via webmail
by Federico Tomasczik 22 Jan '10

22 Jan '10

Hello! First, sorry for my English... I'm a newbie with Dovecot and I have some questions, I'm testing Dovecot 1.1.11 in a virtual machine. I wish in the future, migrate this to a real server. Ok, but i need this: 1) A group of users can use IMAP or POP3. 2) The others, only can use POP3. But, this users can use IMAP only with a webmail (the webmail is in the same server that Dovecot) It is possible? How? Thanks! Federico Ch. Tomasczik

[Dovecot] nologin in auth proto version 1.1
by Kirill Miazine 21 Jan '10

21 Jan '10

I notice that the nologin parameter for the AUTH command is gone in version 1.1 of Dovecot Authentication Protocol. nologin was added in 1.1, so that authentication client could indicate that there will be no subsequent master requests to retrieve user info. Could we have nologin back please? Kirill

[Dovecot] Fastest restart of dovecot after upgrade: HOW?:
by Ralf Hildebrandt 21 Jan '10

21 Jan '10

I'm running dovecot under runit: #!/bin/sh echo '/var/core/%p' > /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern ulimit -n 8096 ulimit -c unlimited exec /usr/local/sbin/dovecot -F (that way, together with incron, I can automatically generate the coredumps I'm posting all the time) If I apply a patch and recompile, what is the fastest way of restarting dovecot? Which part of the process structure can be killed and takes all it's children with it? ├─runsvdir─┬─runsv───ntpd │ ├─runsv─┬─dovecot─┬─2*[dovecot-auth] │ │ │ ├─1203*[imap] │ │ │ ├─64*[imap-login] │ │ │ ├─64*[managesieve-log] │ │ │ └─64*[pop3-login] │ │ └─svlogd killall dovecot? Is that guaranteed to wipe out ALL child processes as well? I had to use (at least in the past): sv d /var/service/dovecot killall dovecot killall -9 imap-login ps auxwww|grep dovecot to make sure everything would be dead... -- Ralf Hildebrandt Geschäftsbereich IT | Abteilung Netzwerk Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin Campus Benjamin Franklin Hindenburgdamm 30 | D-12203 Berlin Tel. +49 30 450 570 155 | Fax: +49 30 450 570 962 ralf.hildebrandt(a)charite.de | http://www.charite.de

[Dovecot] Maildir and IMAP keywords
by Per-Erik Persson 21 Jan '10

21 Jan '10

When a user in thunderbird toggles some flags like junk, spam or something similar dovecot appends these flags form a-z to the end of the file in maildir. I have another application that also access the maildirs which gets really upset with these flags and ignore those emails. Are there any other way for dovecot to store these flags to make it compatible with other softwares?

[Dovecot] Migration from Courier to dovecot
by Werner Detter 21 Jan '10

21 Jan '10

hi list, I've just registered to the list, so please be tolerant ;) I'm currently in the process of planning the migration from courier to dovecot as POP/IMAP-Server. I'm migration from Courier 0.58 (Debian-Etch-packages) to Dovecot 1.1.13 (Debian Lenny Backport). The conversion of the Mailbox from Courier to Dovecot will be done with "courier-dovecot-migrate.pl"-script[1], which works fine. However after running "courier-dovecot-migrate.pl" the Courier-Files still remain in the Maildir. Can i just delete those Courier-specific-files or does dovecot need them somehow (do you normally get rid of these after conversion)? It's about these files: courierimapacl courierimapsubscribed courierimapuiddb courierpop3dsizelist And those directories: courierimaphieracl courierimaphieracl Can i simply delete those with "find" ? Furthermore: is it possible to convert back from Dovecot-Format to Courier-Format? Thanks in advance, Werner [1] http://www.dovecot.org/tools/courier-dovecot-migrate.pl
