[Dovecot] sieve rules processing
by Nikita Koshikov 06 Aug '09

06 Aug '09

Hello list, My question: is sieve support some kind of "continue" action, to explicit tell server processing rules below current one(if current has triged)? Situation: I have few rules, which fileinto's to different directories. All is working fine, but if I want redirect all my mail for some period of time to another mailbox, I'm adding rule like this, to be processing first. if anyof (true) { redirect "koshikov(a)gmail.com"; keep; } Mail redirecting, but keep state store messages to INBOX. All I want - to process other rules, which will move message to the right imap directory. This situation also happens with vacation sieve-action. In sieve rfc I didn't find any workaround to that actions. Maybe someone know how to make sieve working in described way?

[Dovecot] deliver is curious
by Sven Strickroth 06 Aug '09

06 Aug '09

Hi, Im' using deliver with postfix (mailbox_command = /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -n -m "$EXTENSION"). In dovecot.conf I've set mail_location to maildir:/var/spool/imap/users/%u/Maildir It works, but not for ONE "special" email. If I send mail to e.g. th(a)trg-oha.de it gets correctly delivered (see noerror.txt), but I have one mail with an attachment (i cannot provide it because of privacy reasons) where i get the attached error. How comes that deliver doesn't use the mail_location but the real home-directory (from ldap, it doesn't exist on the mailserver) of that user in this case? -- Best regards, Sven mailto:sven@clamav.net ClamAV, a GPL anti-virus toolkit http://www.clamav.net Aug 3 00:57:40 mailsrv postfix/qmgr[15624]: 4C8582024C: from=<kt(a)gmx.de>, size=1436493, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Aug 3 00:57:40 mailsrv dovecot: deliver(th): Home dir not found: /home/daten/user/lehrer/th Aug 3 00:57:40 mailsrv dovecot: deliver(th): Namespace: type=private, prefix=, sep=., inbox=yes, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes Aug 3 00:57:40 mailsrv dovecot: deliver(th): maildir: data=/var/spool/imap/users/th/Maildir Aug 3 00:57:40 mailsrv dovecot: deliver(th): maildir++: root=/var/spool/imap/users/th/Maildir, index=, control=, inbox=/var/spool/imap/users/th/Maildir Aug 3 00:57:40 mailsrv dovecot: deliver(th): Namespace: type=shared, prefix=users.%n., sep=., inbox=no, hidden=no, list=(null), subscriptions=no Aug 3 00:57:40 mailsrv dovecot: deliver(th): shared: root=, index=, control=, inbox= Aug 3 00:57:40 mailsrv dovecot: deliver(th): Namespace: type=public, prefix=shared., sep=., inbox=no, hidden=no, list=(null), subscriptions=no Aug 3 00:57:40 mailsrv dovecot: deliver(th): maildir: data=/var/spool/imap/shared Aug 3 00:57:40 mailsrv dovecot: deliver(th): maildir++: root=/var/spool/imap/shared, index=, control=, inbox= Aug 3 00:57:40 mailsrv dovecot: deliver(th): Namespace : Using permissions from /var/spool/imap/users/th/Maildir: mode=0700 gid=-1 Aug 3 00:57:40 mailsrv dovecot: deliver(th): mkdir_parents_chown(/home/daten/user/lehrer/th) failed: Permission denied (euid=2684(th) egid=12(mail) missing +w perm: /home) Aug 3 00:57:40 mailsrv dovecot: deliver(th): copy: i_stream_read() failed: Permission denied Aug 3 00:57:40 mailsrv dovecot: deliver(th): msgid=<F915DEB780CD459A93FA6A3E9B4564BA@EeeTh>: save failed to INBOX: Internal error occurred.

[Dovecot] Deliver LDA versus vdelivermail
by Wouter van der Schagt 05 Aug '09

05 Aug '09

Good morning all, I have a question. Due to my interest in the Sieve plug-in. I'm considering to change the LDA on my production servers from 'vdelivermail' from vpopmail to 'deliver' from Dovecot. However I'm not sure how to go about doing this or whether there are any conversion issues that I should be aware of. Currently my /var/qmail/control/defaultdelivery is set to "./Maildir/". I am assuming I have to set that to: "|/var/qmail/bin/preline -f /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d $EXT@$USER" Does it also mean I have to recreate all .qmail and .qmail-default files? Am I missing anything else? Does anybody have any experience in changing LDA on production servers? Sincerely, - Wouter van der Schagt

[Dovecot] sieve not working with Postfix and maildir
by Florin Andrei 03 Aug '09

03 Aug '09

I am moving away from Cyrus, I'm trying to migrate to Dovecot. I am trying to get Sieve working with Dovecot and Postfix and it just won't work. Postfix is able to delived new messages to the "new" subfolder of the inbox structure. After I run Thunderbird, the new message gets moved to "cur" and it shows up in my inbox. So far so good. But now I'm trying to add Sieve. I turned on managesieve, installed Avelsieve in Squirrelmail, and did some tests. No matter what, the message stays in the inbox, it does not move to the designated folder: Postfix throws it in "new", it gets moved to "cur" after accessing my email with Thunderbird, and that's it.

[Dovecot] Linefeeds in mailbox names

Wonder if I should just disallow creating mailboxes whose name contains CR or LF characters? Wonder how many peoples' scripts/tools already would break if a user created such mailbox names.. :)
