[Dovecot] Compilation of 1.1.6 fails on HP-UX 11.31
by Marc Beyer 03 Dec '08

03 Dec '08

Hi, $ uname -srv HP-UX B.11.31 U $ cc --version cc: HP C/aC++ B3910B A.06.20 [May 13 2008] Compilation fails, output of configure and make are given below. The cause of this is almost certainly that this version of HP-UX does define the QCMD macro in sys/quota.h (checked in the ifdef line 26 dovecot-1.1.6/src/plugins/quota/quota-fs.h) as well as the dqblk struct, but the latter with different fields than the Linux version. Older versions of HP-UX seem not to have contained this macro(? can't check this at the moment), which is probably why it was used to distinguish between HP-UX and Linux in quota-fs.h. Deleting lines 26-28 and 30 from dovecot-1.1.6/src/plugins/quota/quota-fs.h fixes the problem for HP-UX, but of course a real fix would need to add a more current method of distinguishing between Linux and HP-UX. If there's any more helfpul information you'd like let me know, cheers, Marc configure: ...

[Dovecot] Using namespaces to duplicate mailboxes (Doable?)
by Julio C. Ortega 03 Dec '08

03 Dec '08

Greetings. As part of a new installation of dovecot, we are exploring backup options, and wondered if it's at all possible to define a couple of namespaces where messages get duplicated to be saved in another disk for fast recovery. (we do not intent to load balance between the two, all we would like is to see if it's possible to have duplicate mailboxes so to keep a fast working backup _besides_ normal methods: tape, external disk, etc.) The whole idea behind this would be that in case of a major failure of the array holding the mailboxes, a fast working backup can be put in place. Other thing we would like to know (and i reckon it's a long shot) if it's possible to "hide" this mailbox copy from the IMAP clients, so as to prevent any user from subscribing _again_ to the same folders. Naturally this last thing is to be considered only if the former (mailbox copy trough namespaces or other dovecot _internal_ method) it's at all possible. Any feedback or better ideas are totally welcome. -- --------------------------------- Julio C. Ortega Grupo de Infraestructura ONUVA | Integración de Sistemas http://www.onuva.com

[Dovecot] data retention and e-discovery rules
by Trever L. Adams 02 Dec '08

02 Dec '08

Hello All, I am in the United States where we have e-discovery rules. Some organizations have to retain data for a certain amount of time, others are required to have a data retention policy. This means that while it should probably be possible for a user to "delete" an email so they do not see it. The server needs to store it, possibly in a tree that mirrors the folder setup of the user (so if it is in "Sales" folder, it should move to namespace "hidden", or similar, in folder "Sales"). Is there anything like this in dovecot? Is it possible to use cron jobs to see when the message was deleted (Maildir) and erase it based on policy? (Python scripts are fine if the users password isn't needed.) Thank you, Trever Adams

[Dovecot] symlink() failure in 1.2 managesieve
by Bruce A. Mallett 02 Dec '08

02 Dec '08

I've been simultaneously learning about dovecot and experimenting with the 1.2.alpha4. To start I built an rpm under CentOS 5.2 from: dovecot-1.2.alpha4.tar.gz dovecot-1.2-managesieve-0.11.2.tar.gz dovecot-1.2.alpha4-managesieve-0.11.2.diff.gz dovecot-1.2.alpha4.tar.gz dovecot-1.2-sieve-0.1.2.tar.gz and then setup with mysql to use virtual users. Mail-wise, it all works. :) Where I'm having trouble is with the managesieve part. I find that when I activate a sieve script I get a symlink() failure message in /var/log/maillog similar to this: Dec 2 05:12:47 hostname dovecot: MANAGESIEVE(account(a)hostname.com): sieve-storage: Creating symlink() hostname.com/account//.dovecot.sieve to /usr/local/virtual/hostname.com/account/sieve/Test.sieve failed: No such file or directory I began to chase this first by inserting i_info() calls into various points of the managesieve build and later by attaching to the process with gdb. I can see that in sieve_storage_script_activate() the storage->active_path member is incomplete (i.e., is not a full, absolute path name) and the cwd is "/tmp", thus the symlink() call fails. Based on what I've been reading in the documentation, shouldn't the system have resolved the "home" area for the mail to be the same as what is determined for the virtual user mail area? Using the README in the alpha4 package I've found that I can get it to work by adding the following after the "protocol manageseive {}" section: plugin { sieve=/usr/local/virtual/%d/%n/.dovecot.sieve sieve_storage=/usr/local/virtual/%d/%n/sieve } While that helps, I'm a little confused as to why I need to do this. I believe that the documentation states that the sieve defaults to .dovecot.sieve under the MAIL_LOCATION directory. So it is not clear to me if I am doing something wrong, if there is an oversight in the software and/or documentation (or perhaps my reading of it), or is it really necessary to specify the same information multiple times? - Bruce Here is some output that may be of use: -bash-3.2# dovecot -n # 1.2.alpha4: /etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.18-8.1.8.el5xen x86_64 CentOS release 5.2 (Final) ext3 info_log_path: /var/log/dovecot.log protocols: imap imaps pop3 pop3s managesieve login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login login_executable(managesieve): /usr/libexec/dovecot/managesieve-login max_mail_processes: 100 first_valid_uid: 150 last_valid_uid: 150 mail_location: maildir:/usr/local/virtual/%d/%n mail_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_executable(managesieve): /usr/libexec/dovecot/managesieve mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib64/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(managesieve): /usr/lib64/dovecot/managesieve auth default: mechanisms: plain digest-md5 debug: yes debug_passwords: yes passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql.conf userdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql.conf plugin: sieve: /usr/local/virtual/%d/%n/.dovecot.sieve sieve_storage: /usr/local/virtual/%d/%n/sieve ----- -bash-3.2# grep -v '^ *$#.*$\?$' /etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql.conf driver = mysql connect = host=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock dbname=postfix user=postfix password=postfix default_pass_scheme = MD5-CRYPT user_query = \ SELECT maildir as home, 150 AS uid, 12 AS gid FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' password_query = select password from mailbox where username='%u'

[Dovecot] Feature request: Force leave copy on server
by Bárður Háskor 02 Dec '08

02 Dec '08

It would be very nice, if I could force users to leave a copy on the server when using POP3. This is because users primarily use a web interface to access mail (the web interface uses IMAP), but users can also download messages using POP3. Users who forget to set the "Leave copy on server" get all their messages deleted in the web interface, and mostly they don't want (expect) this behavior. Isn't it possible to create another way to tag POP3 messages as deleted without these being deleted in IMAP? Sincerely, Bardur Haskor

[Dovecot] Panic in version 1.1.6

[Dovecot] help on MailLocation please!
by Li Wei Nan 01 Dec '08

01 Dec '08

Hi Everyone, I'm now using dovecot with a POP3&SMTP server called JAMES. I want dovecot and james to share the email location. Both dovecot and james can store email in mbox format. However, the james will only store mbox mail repo in a fixed dir, such as: /var/mail/ And it will naming each user's mbox repo by its name, such as /var/ mail/tom or /var/mail/peter, etc. So I have to config dovecot for it to fit the situation. So I config dovecot as: mail_location = mbox:/var/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u The inbox get worked now, dovecot can read the mbox file created by james correctly. However, dovecot make each user's Trash, Sent in same directory: /var/mail. So it means all the user just have one Trash, Sent. I've read the Wiki carefully and tried some different config and still cannot get it work. Can anyone gives me some advice on it? Thanks a lot! What I hope to achieve is: - Let dovecot read everyone's inbox at: /var/mail/%u (it's a mbox file, not dir) - Let dovecot store everyone's Trash, Sent in /var/mail/%u/mail Thanks in advance. - Li Wei Nan
