[Dovecot] system accepts my domains without point
by Esteban Torres Rodriguez 03 Jun '09

03 Jun '09

I have postfix+ dovecot + ldap (AD). my system accepts user@domain as user@domain. as user(a)domain.com. To send as much to create the mailbox when I login to squirrelmail, for example. Problem is postfix, dovecot or from AD? Someone can help me? -- ################################################## # Esteban Torres Rodríguez # # Área de Soporte Técnico # # Subdirección de Sistemas Informáticos # # Empresa Pública Desarrollo Agrario y Pesquero # # email: etorres(a)dap.es # ##################################################

Maybe it was some weird > compiling issue or something.. i do not have an explanation, but effect is the same. i repackaged 1.1.15 with and without patch and only the one with the patch works. for 1.1.16 i do not need a patch. gcc is 4.1.2 but its not important for me, just some tests...

[Dovecot] 1.2.beta1: expire-tool and 'mail_location' setting
by e-frog 03 Jun '09

03 Jun '09

Hi Timo, Trying 1.2.beta1 with expire plugin currently: When I set mail_location = maildir:~/.maildir the expire plugin doesn't delete messages. #: expire-tool --test Info: auth input: system_user=foo Info: auth input: uid=1000 Info: auth input: gid=1000 Info: auth input: home=/home/foo Info: foo/Trash: no messages left I also noticed that above command creates a new but empty directory 'mail' in user's home dir. However using mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir and of course moving the messages to it works. #: expire-tool --test Info: auth input: system_user=foo Info: auth input: uid=1000 Info: auth input: gid=1000 Info: auth input: home=/home/foo Info: foo/Trash: seq=1 uid=4078: Expunge . . Info: foo/Trash: seq=100 uid=4178: Expunge Info: foo/Trash: seq=101 uid=4179: Expunge Info: foo/Trash: timestamp 1235292536 -> 1235325429 My guess is that mail_location is not respected by expire-tool for some reason and in second case mailbox auto-detection makes it working?

[Dovecot] expire tool - individual user/folder?
by Andre Hübner 02 Jun '09

02 Jun '09

Hello, is the expire plugin usable to delete mails with different settings for each individual user? If i view sample config at http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Expire it looks like expire-data are related to foldernames. Is it possible to let each user "activate" the expire-plugin for different folders with different settings? Thanks, Andre

Did you try looking for the folders by connecting to IMAP using command line. telnet servername 143 a1 login username pass a2 list "" * Check if you could see anything.

[Dovecot] v1.1.16 released
by Timo Sirainen 02 Jun '09

02 Jun '09

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/dovecot-1.1.16.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/dovecot-1.1.16.tar.gz.sig Fixes a couple of bugs in v1.1.15's changes. Hopefully the last v1.1 release before v1.2.0. - v1.1.15 could have crashed if mailbox-closing command was pipelined after a mailbox-accessing command. - v1.1.15's zlib plugin may have caused crashes when fetching INTERNALDATE. - Maildir: If messages had been deleted externally from new/ directory and mailbox was opened with EXAMINE, Dovecot didn't immediately notice that the messages were deleted. - If message body started with a space, some operations could have assert-crashed.

[Dovecot] recipient delimiter and lmtp
by John Fawcett 02 Jun '09

02 Jun '09

I read in the list archives about work in progress on an lmtp delivery agent.As a previous cyrus user where that was the preferred delivery method from postfix, this sounds interesting. I was wondering whether it will handle recipient delimiters. ie will it be able to map user+foo(a)example.com to user(a)example.com? I'm not interested in the delivery into folder stuff, just the plain delivery to inbox. thanks, John

[Dovecot] IMAP labeling sometimes not taken into account
by Olivier Cailloux 02 Jun '09

02 Jun '09

Dear Dovecot list, I recently switched from uw-imapd to dovecot to manage my huge mbox files (about 1 GB). I now observe a very strange behavior, difficult to reproduce reliably, which might be related to some misunderstanding on my part on how either dovecot works or imap labeling works. What I call "labeling" is the fact of marking some e-mail, in my e-mail client (currently Thunderbird), with a label, which can be chosen among five labels (plus the "no-label" case). Evolution also supports labeling. As far as I understood until a few days ago, when I put a label, say, number five, on an e-mail, a keyword "$Label5" is added on the "X-Keywords:" line of the corresponding e-mail in my mbox file. Removing the label simply removes the keyword on the same line. That is, at least, what happened with uw-imapd (not that I have seen that documented somewhere but this is what I observed). The label is thus stored on the e-mail server, not on the client hard disk, which is important for me as I extensively use that feature to sort e-mails, and need to access them from several different places (and find the same labels at the same places, naturally, whatever client I use). Since the change for dovecot, however, things are going strange. Sometimes the labels disappear for some reasons. Sometimes they stay there. And I can't reproduce the behavior, it just seems random. This is very annoying as it totally breaks my e-mail management. Currently there is something strange I can reproduce however, and if someone could explain me what is happening I guess it would be a good step towards a solution. I see a specific e-mail as being labeled in thunderbird, having label number five. I also tried with evolution, accessing the same imap folder, evolution also sees that e-mail as having a label number five. I tried running these clients from my imap server, and I tried thunderbird on a Windows box at home, and every clients agree: this e-mail has a "5" label. BUT when I open the mbox file directly on the imap server (using "less"), and scroll to that given e-mail, I see NO "X-Keywords: " line. How then can the e-mail clients know that this e-mail is labeled? Please note that this behavior does not happen with only one specific e-mail, but I take it as an example of what is strange. In fact I can see, especially at the end of the mbox file (thus the latest e-mails), that plenty of e-mails have either no "X-Keywords: " line or a line with "X-Keywords: " and nothing else, whereas they are seen as being labeled (and indeed I remember having labeled most of those through thunderbird). The former e-mails I checked in the m-box (for example, one month ago) all correctly have an X-Keywords line indicating "$Label5" or other appropriate labels. It seems like dovecot is keeping some track of labeled e-mails somewhere which is NOT in the mbox file, probably related to its indexing capabilities. But I don't know how that works and where these index files are stored, how to purge them and rebuild the index, and so on. Apparently these index files have remembered some e-mails as being labeled (which is good, because I indeed labeled them). But I'd like to know how that works to be able to better troubleshoot why sometimes the label disappear. Note that restarting dovecot does not change the label status of the e-mail, so the status must be stored somewhere on disk and not only in memory. Or is all these labeling stuff some unsupported, non-standard extension to IMAP that only uw-imapd supports? (I hope not because I find it very practical and I'd like to use it with dovecot as well!) Thank you for any help. (Technical informations follow.)
