[Dovecot] backup using rsync
by Scott Murman 14 Oct '09

14 Oct '09

i'm trying to backup the dovecot Maildir files over a cifs share. source is a debian build, share is a readynas. i've been getting rsync: mkstemp 'filename goes here' failed: Not a directory (20) errors. rsync is v3.0. i believe this is related to the dovecot file naming convention that includes characters such as ':' in the filename. anyone else seeing similar behavior? a workaround? i can go to different backup strategies, but rsync is cheap and effective for my needs. thanks, -SM-

[Dovecot] Homedir for sieve/LDAP
by Edgar Fuß 13 Oct '09

13 Oct '09

I'm somewhat confused regarding Home Directories needed by sieve and setting them for an LDAP userdb. We have system users, passdb ldap, userdb ldap, but home directories are not mounted on the mail server. Now apparently, sieve needs the home directory for .dovecot.lda-dupes. Is there an easier way to give lda/sieve a home directory than setting something along the lines of user_attrs = ...,uid=home=/import/mail/%$/home in dovecot-ldap.conf?

[Dovecot] failing to deliver to one of multiple destinations
by Edgar Fuß 13 Oct '09

13 Oct '09

Is it defined whether, in case a message should be delivered to multiple destinations via a sieve script, and one of those destinations fail, then the whole delivery is to be considered as successful or not? My case: A sieve script forwarding to and external destinations plus local keep. The keep fails (configuration error, wrong homedir, .dovecot.lda- dupes not writable). According to postfix logs, dovecot deliver returned success. The mail was NOT delivered to the local destination and NOT bounced. Is this expected behaviour?

[Dovecot] LAYOUT=fs still uses 'dot' prefixes for folders
by PGNet Dev 13 Oct '09

13 Oct '09

running latest dovecot HEAD, per, http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailLocation/Maildir i've set LAYOUT=fs, dovecot -n| grep -i layout mail_location: maildir:/data/mail:LAYOUT=fs and expect, maildirs to actually use physical directories, such as: * Maildir/folder/ * Maildir/folder/subfolder/ but, autocreate@login creates folders using "dot" prefixes, e.g., cd /data/mail/Domains/my.domain.com/Accounts/test_account ls -1d .* ./ ../ .Drafts/ .Spam/ .Templates/ .Trash/ &, login via TBird, creating a folder "test", also creates .test/ a bug, or a misconfiguration?

[Dovecot] (no subject)
by Jerry 13 Oct '09

13 Oct '09

Using Postfix with Virtual Users/Virtual Domains, I have configured it with a wild card entry; i.e., "*.mydomain.com" This works fine in Postfix; however, using Dovecot for delivery is causing the message to bounce since Dovecot does not have an entry in the "user passwd" or "userdb" file. I want to store the catch-all addresses in a separate mailbox. Can I use sieve for this or will that fail also? This is the entry in the postfix master.cf file: dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -f ${sender} -d ${user}@${nexthop} The output of dovecot -n # 1.2.4: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf # OS: FreeBSD 7.2-STABLE i386 ufs log_path: /usr/home/gerard/dovecot.log protocols: pop3 pop3s managesieve listen(default): * listen(pop3): * listen(managesieve): localhost:2000 disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login login_executable(managesieve): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/managesieve-login login_greeting: Greetings From Seibercom.net verbose_proctitle: yes first_valid_uid: 1000 first_valid_gid: 1000 mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: maildir:/var/mail/vhost/%d/%n mail_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_executable(managesieve): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/managesieve mail_plugins(default): expire mail_plugins(pop3): expire mail_plugins(managesieve): mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(managesieve): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/managesieve pop3_client_workarounds(default): outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh pop3_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh pop3_client_workarounds(managesieve): dict_db_config: /usr/local/etc/dovecot-db.conf managesieve_logout_format(default): bytes=%i/%o managesieve_logout_format(pop3): bytes=%i/%o managesieve_logout_format(managesieve): bytes ( in=%i : out=%o ) lda: postmaster_address: postmaster(a)seibercom.net mail_plugins: expire sieve: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/sieve/gerard.sieve sieve_global_path: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/sieve/gerard.sieve sendmail_path: /usr/sbin/sendmail auth default: mechanisms: plain login cram-md5 digest-md5 username_chars: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ01234567890.-_@+ username_format: %Lu passdb: driver: sql args: /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: passwd args: blocking=yes userdb: driver: sql args: /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf socket: type: listen client: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-client mode: 438 master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 438 plugin: expire: Trash 7 Spam 30 expire_dict: proxy::expire dict: expire: mysql:/usr/local/etc/dovecot-dict-expire.conf -- Jerry gesbbb(a)yahoo.com DEFAULT: The hardware's, of course.

[Dovecot] Panic: file sieve-cmu.c: line 262 (part_save): assertion failed: (buf->used - 1 == part->body_size.physical_size)
by Raffael Schmid 13 Oct '09

13 Oct '09

Hi everybody We are running in the same issue as Maciej Polewczynski does in http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2008-September/033645.html Is there already a solution? I dont think so? In the TODO-File for 1.2.2 this issue is still reported: #### [...] - sieve-cmu.c crash: i_assert(buf->used - 1 == part->body_size.physical_size); [...] #### I am not able to reproduce the problem but I think it has something to do with the charset of a mail? Because the 2 bits which are used with UTF-8 for special characters? Dovecot is running in a 64bit vServer on a 64bit host. Both are debian lenny with all patches. The dovecot-packages is backported.
