[Dovecot] expire plugin no delete 1.2.1
by Robert Schetterer 02 Aug '09

02 Aug '09

Hi Timo, all of my tests fail with expire plugin, mail simply not get deleted i cant find any stuff in the logs why it does not or should not work. My guess that there is a problem with virtual plugin and/or shared namespace. It shouldnt be a problem with acl starting the script over cron as root am i right ? do you have any idea why it fails, is there a way to ignore all unneeded shared or virtual namespaces ? should there be a entry in the log when expire time is reached and deletion is unsuccessfull ? -- Best Regards MfG Robert Schetterer Germany/Munich/Bavaria

[Dovecot] Shared mailboxes and INBOX
by Keith Edmunds 02 Aug '09

02 Aug '09

I'm trying to implement a shared mailbox: in other words, we have a generic email address ("security@") which we want a number of users to be able to monitor. The problem I have is that users can see folders under that shared mailbox but can't see the INBOX. All the users in question have their own INBOX in their private namespace, so does this raise a conflict with monitoring another mailbox's INBOX? Configuration: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # dovecot -n # 1.2.1: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 i686 Debian 5.0.2 log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login mail_privileged_group: mail namespace: type: private separator: / inbox: yes list: yes subscriptions: yes namespace: type: public separator: / prefix: shared/ location: maildir:/home/publicfolders:INDEX=~/Maildir/public list: yes namespace: type: shared separator: / prefix: security/ location: maildir:/home/securitymailbox/Maildir:INDEX=~/Maildir/securitymailbox list: yes auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks, Keith

[Dovecot] sieve filtering setup
by Jonathan Siegle 02 Aug '09

02 Aug '09

I'm looking at implementing sieve in my environment. Software is: dovecot-1.2-sieve revision 1022:3c9a22c28156 dovecot-1.2 revision 9269:a303bb82c1c9 AIX 5.3 with sendmail mta using prescribed deliver lda. I have a few questions. I'll have 110k sieve files(1 for each user). Does sieve read the file each time a new message is accepted by sendmail? Are there any measurements on cpu load for sieve filters? Thanks, Jonathan

[Dovecot] Managesieve configuration problem
by listacc＠gmx.de 02 Aug '09

02 Aug '09

Hello! I'm trying for a lot of time to make managesieve working with dovecot 1.1.17 and virtual users on openSuSE 11.1. I think I'm doing some misconfiguration, but I can't figure it out. Perhaps it's something with the paths to the sieve scripts? In dovecot.conf I find in the comments: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ protocol managesieve { #(...) # Specifies the location of the symlink pointing to the active script in # the sieve storage directory. This must match the SIEVE setting used by # deliver (refer to http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve#location for more # info). Variable substitution with % is recognized. # Take care: if a file in a maildir: begins with a '.', it is recognized # as a folder; so, avoid this. #sieve=~/.dovecot.sieve sieve = /drbd/mail/vmail/%d/%n/dovecot.sieve } ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "This must match the SIEVE setting used by deliver", so I have to take a look to LDA section, no? But there I don't find any hint for sieve settings: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ protocol lda { # Address to use when sending rejection mails. postmaster_address = postmaster(a)mydomain.tld # Hostname to use in various parts of sent mails, eg. in Message-Id. # Default is the system's real hostname. #hostname = # Support for dynamically loadable plugins. mail_plugins is a space separated # list of plugins to load. mail_plugins = cmusieve quota mail_plugin_dir = /usr/lib64/dovecot/modules/lda # If user is over quota, return with temporary failure instead of # bouncing the mail. #quota_full_tempfail = no # Format to use for logging mail deliveries. You can use variables: # %$ - Delivery status message (e.g. "saved to INBOX") # %m - Message-ID # %s - Subject # %f - From address #deliver_log_format = msgid=%m: %$ # Binary to use for sending mails. sendmail_path = /usr/lib/sendmail # Human readable error message for rejection mails. Use can use variables: # %n = CRLF, %r = reason, %s = subject, %t = recipient rejection_reason = Your message to <%t> was automatically rejected:%n%r # UNIX socket path to master authentication server to find users. # auth_socket_path = /drbd/mail/var/run/dovecot/auth-master auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master } ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I tried to log in to managesieve manually with gnutls-cli, and that was successfull. I was able to authenticate. But when I try to put the example script from dovecot wiki (http://wiki.dovecot.org/ManageSieve/Troubleshooting) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PUTSCRIPT "hutsefluts" {6+} keep; ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I get no ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OK "Putscript completed." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ there happens nothing, managesieve seems to wait for something else. When I look now into the directory where the script should be stored (the folder has been created automatically) I don't find any script file but a folder "tmp" that contains a plaintext file with the script commands inside, eg. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ hutsefluts-12345678.M033562P2271.imap.sieve ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After disconnecting, this file disappears. In the dovecot.info log it looks like this: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ dovecot: Jul 30 14:51:56 Info: auth(default): master out: USER 16 test(a)mydomain.tld home=/drbd/mail/vmail/mydomain.tld/test mail=maildir:/drbd/mail/vmail/mydomain.tld/test uid=5001 gid=5001 quota_rule=*:storage=512000000B dovecot: Jul 30 14:51:56 Info: managesieve-login: Login: user=<test(a)mydomain.tld>, method=PLAIN, rip=192.168.200.39, lip=192.168.200.40, TLS dovecot: Jul 30 14:51:56 Info: MANAGESIEVE(test(a)mydomain.tld): Effective uid=5001, gid=5001, home=/drbd/mail/vmail/mydomain.tld/test dovecot: Jul 30 14:51:56 Info: MANAGESIEVE(test(a)mydomain.tld): sieve-storage: using active sieve script path: /drbd/mail/vmail/mydomain.tld/test/dovecot.sieve dovecot: Jul 30 14:51:56 Info: MANAGESIEVE(test(a)mydomain.tld): sieve-storage: using active sieve script path: /drbd/mail/vmail/mydomain.tld/test/dovecot.sieve dovecot: Jul 30 14:51:56 Info: MANAGESIEVE(test(a)mydomain.tld): sieve-storage: using sieve script storage directory: /drbd/mail/vmail/mydomain.tld/test/sieve dovecot: Jul 30 14:51:56 Info: MANAGESIEVE(test(a)mydomain.tld): sieve-storage: relative path to sieve storage in active link: sieve/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ../vmail/mydomain.tld/test/dovecot.sieve is missing completely.

[Dovecot] Best way to get login protocol (pop3/imap) in post-login script
by Zhang Huangbin 01 Aug '09

01 Aug '09

Hi, all. I found doc here: http://wiki.dovecot.org/PostLoginScripting and use ${USER}, ${IP} to track last-login username and remote ip address, but how can i track the mail protocol it used? like pop3, pop3s, imap, imaps? Currently, i wrote shell script as post-login script, and use below command to get protocol: ---- $(basename ${MAIL_PLUGIN_DIR}) ---- But is it the best way to get it? Thanks very much. :) -- Best Regards.

[Dovecot] E-Mail Encryption
by Christian Felsing 01 Aug '09

01 Aug '09

Hello, I am new to Dovecot but installation was quite easy, so there is one more LDAP authenticated, Dovecot / Postfix mailbox online, but there is one question left: I would like to set up a configuration, which encrypts every user mail with a unique key. If user logs in, private key should be decrypted with user password and every mail user requests should be decrypted with users private key. If a mail comes in, it should be encrypted with users public key. That key pair should be used for that purpose only. Obviously a GnuPG plugin between deliver and rest of Dovecot is needed. best reagrds Christian
