[Dovecot] problems running dsync
by joakim＠verona.se 13 Jan '10

13 Jan '10

First I had to do "chmod a+rw /var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb" to avoid permission problems. I assume this isnt how I should do it right? Next I get: dsync -u joakim mirror 'ssh exodia dsync -u joakim' Enter passphrase for key '/home/joakim/.ssh/id_dsa': dsync-local(joakim): Error: Log synchronization error at seq=186,offset=29436 for /home/joakim/Maildir/dovecot.index: uid_validity updated unexpectedly: 1202385824 -> 1262587228 dsync-local(joakim): Warning: fscking index file /home/joakim/Maildir/dovecot.index dsync-remote(joakim): Error: Log synchronization error at seq=2,offset=248 for /home/joakim/Maildir/dovecot.index: uid_validity updated unexpectedly: 1262587228 -> 1202385824 dsync-remote(joakim): Warning: fscking index file /home/joakim/Maildir/dovecot.index dsync-remote(joakim): Error: Mailbox INBOX changed its GUID (f36455205c8d414b11450000326eb77d -> fd3cc81453ed4c4bbc0e00007441ab87) dsync-remote(joakim): Error: msg iteration failed: Couldn't open mailbox dsync-remote(joakim): Error: command MSG-LIST failed dsync-local(joakim): Error: Mailbox INBOX changed its GUID (fd3cc81453ed4c4bbc0e00007441ab87 -> f36455205c8d414b11450000326eb77d) dsync-local(joakim): Error: msg iteration failed: Couldn't open mailbox dsync-local(joakim): Error: Mailbox INBOX changed its GUID (fd3cc81453ed4c4bbc0e00007441ab87 -> f36455205c8d414b11450000326eb77d) dsync-remote(joakim): Error: Mailbox INBOX changed its GUID (f36455205c8d414b11450000326eb77d -> fd3cc81453ed4c4bbc0e00007441ab87) dsync-local(joakim): Error: Mailbox INBOX changed its GUID (fd3cc81453ed4c4bbc0e00007441ab87 -> f36455205c8d414b11450000326eb77d) dsync-remote(joakim): Error: Mailbox INBOX changed its GUID (f36455205c8d414b11450000326eb77d -> fd3cc81453ed4c4bbc0e00007441ab87) [root@localhost etc]# dsync-remote(joakim): Error: read() from proxy client failed: EOF The local end has lots of mailboxes I want to push to the remote end.

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?
by Sergio Villar Senin 12 Jan '10

12 Jan '10

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. See this chat with the server 40 LIST "" INBOX * LIST (\HasChildren) "." "INBOX" 40 OK List completed. 41 LIST "" INBOX* * LIST (\HasChildren) "." "INBOX" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.Trash" * LIST (\HasChildren) "." "INBOX.folder1" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.folder1.folder12" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.folder2" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.Sent" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.Drafts" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.Spam" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.buggybox" 41 OK List completed. 42 LSUB "" INBOX 42 OK Lsub completed. 43 LSUB "" INBOX* * LSUB () "." "INBOX" * LSUB () "." "INBOX.Trash" * LSUB () "." "INBOX.folder1" * LSUB () "."

My question is, why "LSUB "" INBOX" does not return anything while "LSUB "" INBOX*" does ? Br

[Dovecot] Dovecot (IMAP) Hangs sometimes
by Mario Gomide 12 Jan '10

12 Jan '10

Hi there! I'm using Dovecot 1.0.7 in RHEL 5.4 64bits as a IMAP/POP3 server. Dovecot authenticates users against an AD server via kerberos (pam configuration) and clients connect to it via IMAPs and POP3s with SSL. Webmail is in localhost and connects locally also with SSL. All is fine and people use the email server normally and with no problems. But, I have noticed that dovecot hangs sometimes. Usually twice a day somewhere between 09:40 and 10:00 a.m and in the afternoon at about 3:00 p.m. The problem starts when webmail takes long to authenticate and show folders and stuff. After a while it times out and doesn't connect. Then the clients (e.g. outlook, thunderbird) start taking long to connect and then they timeout. Important: Only IMAP connections timeout! POP3 continues ok. This latency keeps on going until dovecot finally hangs (after about 10 to 15 minutes). The problem is solved when I restart/reload dovecot. I'm not sure as to what's going on! I check the log, but it has been hard to pinpoint an exact event or to detect when the problem begins. Any ideas? BTW: what's the real difference between reload and restart? Thanks a lot! Mario

Thanks Stephan, I have the extdata plugin compiled, and am now trying to make a global sieve script to test it. I'm running into problems when using sievec to compile the script - I'm not getting the plugin's variables that are provided in dovecot.conf's plugin {}. I added a few sieve_sys_warning messages to track the calls to sieve_setting_get() <output> /usr/local/bin/sievec -d -P sieve_extdata /usr/local/etc/dovecot/sieve/before.sv Warning: sieve: sieve_setting_get: req: 'sieve_max_script_size' res: '(null)' Warning: sieve: sieve_setting_get: req: 'sieve_max_actions' res: '(null)' Warning: sieve: sieve_setting_get: req: 'sieve_max_redirects' res: '(null)' Warning: sieve: sieve_setting_get: req: 'sieve_subaddress_sep' res: '(null)' Warning: sieve: sieve_setting_get: req: 'recipient_delimiter' res: '(null)' Warning: sieve: sieve_setting_get: req: 'sieve_plugin_dir' res: '(null)' Warning: sieve: sieve_setting_get: req: 'sieve_plugins' res: '(null)' Warning: sieve: sieve_setting_get: req: 'sieve_extdata_dict_uri' res: '(null)' Warning: sieve: extdata: no dict uri specified, extension is unconfigured (sieve_extdata_dict_uri is not set). * Required extensions: 0: vacation (9) 1: variables (17) 2: vnd.dovecot.extdata (29) * Main program (block: 1): 00000000: EXTENSIONS [3]: 00000001: vacation 00000002: variables 00000003: SCOPE [0] (end: 00000008) 00000008: vnd.dovecot.extdata 00000009: VACATION 0000000a: (source line: 3) 0000000d: subject: VAR ${extdata.vacation_subject} 00000023: reason: VAR ${extdata.vacation_message} 00000038: handle: STR[77] "${extdata.vacation_message}${extdata.vacation_subject}<default-from><NO-MIME>" 00000088: [End of code] </output> I'm new to dovecot's internals, it looks like it just needs some environment variables provided, but I'm puzzled as to how this is to be done. I've traced it through sievec.c -> sieve_tool_sieve_env -> sieve_tool_get_setting -> getenv() call. More info: 1. I've traced the process, there's no attempt to open or stat any dovecot.conf 2. using tip dovecot-1.2, dovecot-1.2-sieve, pigeonhole-sieve-extdata. I pulled+updated & rebuilt and confirmed the above behaviour just prior to sending this message. 3. The test scripts run because the test framework uses the test_config mechanism to provide sieve_extdata_dict_uri. Any hints on how to get the dovecot.conf data to sievec? Thanks, -Martin Foster
