[Dovecot] Smartsieve patch on Dovecot wiki?
by Ronald Johnson 02 Sep '09

02 Sep '09

I am attempting to get smartsieve 1.0 RC2 working with our test install of dovecot, but can not locate the Managesieve.php fix listed on the ManageSieve page: http://wiki.dovecot.org/ManageSieve/Clients Does anyone know of another location to get this fix? I've googled around, but not found an alternate location. We're running: dovecot-1.2.3 dovecot-1.2-sieve-0.1.12 dovecot-1.2-managesieve-0.11.9 The managesieve server is working fine for other ManageSieve clients such as Roundcube's managesieve and sieverules plugins, it is only smartsieve I am having problems with. Any pointers are appreciated. Cheers, Ron --

Re: [Dovecot] Question about ACL/flags
by Eric Jon Rostetter 01 Sep '09

Quoting Timo Sirainen <tss(a)iki.fi>: > You can't have per-user seen flags with mbox currently. So create a > public namespace with a maildir location and set up dovecot-acl file in > a way that allows only some specific users access to it. So for example: To refresh, I want a shared account, but my system was Dovecot 1.1 with all mbox mailboxes. Well, this is what I've done so far: 1) Upgraded to dovecot 1.2 (just because I could, I guess) 2) Tried to setup private/public namespaces... Edited "dovecot -n" output: # 1.2.4: /etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.18-128.4.1.el5.centos.plus x86_64 CentOS release 5.3 (Final) [...] mail_location: mbox:~/mail/:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u:INDEX=/var/dovecot/indexes/ %u [...] mail_plugins(default): zlib acl mail_plugins(imap): zlib acl mail_plugins(pop3): zlib [...] namespace: type: private separator: / inbox: yes list: yes subscriptions: yes namespace: type: public separator: / prefix: shared/ location: maildir:/var/spool/mail/public:INDEX=/var/dovecot/indexes/public/%u list: no lda: postmaster_address: postmaster(a)physics.utexas.edu hostname: mail.ph.utexas.edu log_path: info_log_path: syslog_facility: mail auth default: passdb: driver: ldap args: /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf userdb: driver: ldap args: /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf plugin: acl: vfile 3) Created /var/spool/mail/public/.myfolder for the account to deliver to. Created empty dovecot-shared file for it. 4) Created a .forward file in the account to run "deliver" which does in fact deliver the account's email to the right maildir location. 5) Created /var/spool/mail/public/.myfolder/dovecot-acl which has something like: owner lrwstiekxa user=me lrwstiekxa user=you lrst So, mail is delivered to this account correctly as a maildir mailbox. But, I don't know how to read it, and/or configured something incorrectly. It appears to be there, more or less: a0 namespace * NAMESPACE (("" "/")) NIL (("shared/" "/")) a0 OK Namespace completed. a0 list "" "shared/" * LIST (\Noselect \HasNoChildren) "/" "shared/" a0 OK List completed. But I can't figure out how to access it (either manuall via telnet as above, or from a client, etc). So, how do I access it, and/or what did I do wrong? While I've been doing email servers since the 1980's, this is my first try at using IMAP namespaces and shared folders, and I'm just not getting it... :( -- Eric Rostetter The Department of Physics The University of Texas at Austin This message is provided "AS IS" without warranty of any kind, either expressed or implied.

[Dovecot] Hang on login since 1.2.4
by Tom Sommer 01 Sep '09

01 Sep '09

I upgraded a number of servers to Dovecot 1.2.4, and now suddenly I get a lot of customers saying it takes a long time for them to log in. I enabled all debug and see the following: Sep 01 10:49:18 auth(default): Info: client in: AUTH 10 DIGEST-MD5 service=pop3 lip=195.41.131.35 rip=111.111.111.111 lport=110 rport=3730 Sep 01 10:49:18 auth(default): Info: digest-md5(?,111.111.111.111): Invalid realm: example.com Sep 01 10:49:25 auth(default): Info: client in: AUTH 11 PLAIN service=pop3 lip=195.41.131.35 rip=111.111.111.111 lport=110 rport=3730 resp=<hidden> Basically there is a lag of ~7-9 seconds upon login, this seems to be consistant across the servers. Any help would be greatly appreciated. // Tom

[Dovecot] fts_squat + virtual => crash
by intrigeri 01 Sep '09

Hi, dovecot's imap process segfaults when I search a virtual mailbox using the fts_squat plugin. Is this supposed to work, or a known bug?

[Dovecot] Global ACL configuration problems: mailboxes not visible, set ACLs not honoured
by Andreas Ntaflos 01 Sep '09

01 Sep '09

Hi list, I am having trouble getting global ACLs to work correctly. This is, I assume, an issue separate from the one I reported a few days ago [1], where the imap process crashes when creating subfolders of folders with an ACL set. As you can see from my 'dovecot -n' output below I have three namespaces; two private ("Backup" and the default, empty one) and one public ("Public"). I also use the autocreate plugin to create a few standard folders. Those folders, along with some others, should have some special permissions and restrictions in place. I.e. messages must not be deletable, the mailbox itself may not be deleted, etc. I want to use global ACLs so that I don't have to put a dovecot-acl file in every folder that I want to have an ACL set. Thus, according to the wiki, if have set acl:vfile:/etc/dovecot/acls I can create files named "Sent", "Trash", "Drafts", "INBOX.Spam" and "Backup.sent", "Backup.received", "Public.Spam", "Public.Ham" in the directory /etc/dovecot/acls. These files contain the ACL, such as "owner lrp", "owner lrwsipk" and "authenticated lrwstipk". Any and all "dovecot-acl-list" files have been deleted before testing and reproducing that problem again just now. Is there anything more to it? I ask, because I can't seem to get it to work correctly using this approach with global ACLs. Problems include: - Can't get the mailboxes "Spam" and "Ham" under the "Public" namespace to show up in the mail client (Thunderbird, KMail, Horde/IMP) at all. These have the ACL "authenticated lrwstipk" set so the should be visible to authenticated clients, shouldn't they? All I see is the namespace with no mailboxes beneath it. - Deleting messages from the "Backup.sent" or "Backup.received" mailboxes is possible from Thunderbird, KMail and Horde/IMP, despite having the ACL "owner rlp" set, which, if I understand correctly, should only allow users to lookup, read and post to the mailing list via LDA/Sieve. What am I doing wrong? It seems to me that the global ACL files for namespaces other than the empty one are not at all considered? Do I have to use another notation for the ACL file names? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance! Configuration information follows. Contents of /etc/dovecot/acl ============================ Backup.received owner rlp Backup.sent owner rlp Drafts owner lrwstipk INBOX.Spam owner lrwstipk Public.Ham authenticated lrwstipk Public.Spam authenticated lrwstipk Sent owner lrwstipk Trash owner lrwstipk 'dovecot -n' ============ # 1.2.4: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 i686 Debian 5.0.2 log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: managesieve imap imaps pop3 pop3s login_dir: /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login login_executable(managesieve): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/managesieve-login mail_access_groups: mail mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir mail_drop_priv_before_exec: yes mail_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_executable(managesieve): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/managesieve mail_plugins(default): autocreate acl mail_plugins(imap): autocreate acl mail_plugins(pop3): mail_plugins(managesieve): mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(managesieve): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/managesieve namespace: type: public separator: . prefix: Public. location: maildir:/var/mail/public:CONTROL=~/Maildir/control/public:INDEX=~/Maildir/index/public list: yes namespace: type: private separator: . prefix: Backup. location: maildir:~/Maildir-backup hidden: yes list: no namespace: type: private separator: . inbox: yes list: yes subscriptions: yes lda: log_path: info_log_path: auth_socket_path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master postmaster_address: postmaster(a)mailtest0.rise-s.com mail_plugins: sieve acl auth default: mechanisms: plain login passdb: driver: pam passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: passwd userdb: driver: static args: uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/var/vmail/%Ld/%Ln allow_all_users=yes socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 user: vmail plugin: sieve: ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir: ~/sieve sieve_global_path: /etc/dovecot/sieve/default.sieve sieve_global_dir: /etc/dovecot/sieve/global/ sieve_before: /etc/dovecot/sieve/before/ autocreate: Trash autocreate2: Drafts autocreate3: Sent autocreate4: INBOX.Spam autosubscribe: Trash autosubscribe2: Drafts autosubscribe3: Sent autosubscribe4: INBOX.Spam acl: vfile:/etc/dovecot/acl [1] http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2009-August/042467.html -- Andreas Ntaflos Vienna, Austria GPG Fingerprint: 6234 2E8E 5C81 C6CB E5EC 7E65 397C E2A8 090C A9B4

[Dovecot] v2.0 configuration paths
by Timo Sirainen 01 Sep '09

01 Sep '09

In Dovecot v2.0 I'm splitting dovecot-example.conf to multiple files. It's probably annoying to have tons of dovecot-*-example.conf files, so what do you think about: 1. Change default sysconfdir from $prefix/etc to $prefix/etc/dovecot (that's what most distros do anyway) 2. Install *.conf files to $sysconfdir/example/ without the "-example" part in any of the config files. So new installations would then start with "mv example/* ."
