[Dovecot] Time just moved backwards error even with ntpd
by Luigi Rosa 19 Jan '08

19 Jan '08

Scenario: server PC abruptly switched off due to power cable problems (an UPS cannot solve this issue), so during shutdown Linux was not able to resinchronize the system clock. After a few hours the server come back on, Linux booted and the services (ntpd, dovecot and many others) started But the system clock was 45 minutes ahead, so: Jan 19 11:13:39 gw ntpd[2112]: synchronized to LOCAL(0), stratum 10 Jan 19 11:13:39 gw ntpd[2112]: kernel time sync disabled 0041 Jan 19 11:14:43 gw ntpd[2112]: synchronized to 62.48.35.100, stratum 2 Jan 19 10:31:55 gw ntpd[2112]: time reset -3600.221385 s Jan 19 10:31:55 gw ntpd[2112]: kernel time sync enabled 0001 Jan 19 10:31:55 gw dovecot: Time just moved backwards by 3600 seconds. This might cause a lot of problems, so I'll just kill myself now. http://wiki.dovecot.org/TimeMovedBackwards Ciao, luigi -- / +--[Luigi Rosa]-- \ Spoon boy: Do not try and bend the spoon.

[Dovecot] Public mailboxes
by libero1 19 Jan '08

19 Jan '08

Ciao everbody, I have a simple question for who has a few experience with dovecot. I want to share a mailbox with some users, I configure dovecot and now in my thinderbird I can see the public namespace. The problem is that I cann't see the "inbox" of the mailbox, in other words when a mail arrive in this mailbox I can not see it, but only what is in other folders. Why? Is it normal? What can I do to let my users to see new messages? Thanks for you help. Bye

Hi FETCHing a largish (~30K) zlib compressed maildir message causes an assertion failure on an attempt to grow the stream buffer to smaller than its current size. I believe the attached patch fixes this.

[Dovecot] Out of the box: Thank you!
by Patrick Ben Koetter 17 Jan '08

17 Jan '08

I've just enabled IMAP quota support on a LDAP userbase in about an hour. In this hour I read the Dovecot documentation on quota support, extended the customers LDAP schema, added a "mailQuota"-attribute and a value to all users, enabled the plugin in dovecot.conf, added the attribute query in dovecot-ldap.conf, reloaded the system and tested the functionality and ... everything worked out of the box.

[Dovecot] Need help to install dovecot on solaris 10 with openldap libs
by Dovecot Jami 17 Jan '08

17 Jan '08

Hi, I install dovecot with ldap support at Solaris 10 (x86). I know that solaris LDAP is broken and so I install openldap. OpenLDAP shared libraries are at /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/include. While installing dovecot, I did the followings: I execute this before run "./configure --with-ldap" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.2/lib -R/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.2/lib -L/usr/local/lib -R/usr/local/lib" but dovecot is using the Solaris default LDAP lib files. I also run LDFLAGS="-R/usr/local/lib" and LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.2/lib -L/usr/local/lib /usr/local/lib/libldap-2.3.so.0 " But dovecot is still using solaris ldap libs. ldd /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-auth libcrypt_i.so.1 => /usr/lib/libcrypt_i.so.1 libpam.so.1 => /lib/libpam.so.1 libldap.so.5 => /usr/lib/libldap.so.5 libsocket.so.1 => /lib/libsocket.so.1 libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 librt.so.1 => /lib/librt.so.1 libsendfile.so.1 => /lib/libsendfile.so.1 libc.so.1 => /lib/libc.so.1 libgen.so.1 => /lib/libgen.so.1 libcmd.so.1 => /lib/libcmd.so.1 libsasl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libsasl.so.1 libmd5.so.1 => /lib/libmd5.so.1 libnspr4.so => /usr/lib/mps/libnspr4.so libplc4.so => /usr/lib/mps/libplc4.so libnss3.so => /usr/lib/mps/libnss3.so libssl3.so => /usr/lib/mps/libssl3.so libmp.so.2 => /lib/libmp.so.2 libscf.so.1 => /lib/libscf.so.1 libaio.so.1 => /lib/libaio.so.1 libpthread.so.1 => /lib/libpthread.so.1 libthread.so.1 => /lib/libthread.so.1 libdl.so.1 => /lib/libdl.so.1 libsoftokn3.so => /usr/lib/mps/libsoftokn3.so libplds4.so => /usr/lib/mps/libplds4.so libdoor.so.1 => /lib/libdoor.so.1 libuutil.so.1 => /lib/libuutil.so.1 libbsm.so.1 => /lib/libbsm.so.1 libsecdb.so.1 => /lib/libsecdb.so.1 libtsol.so.2 => /lib/libtsol.so.2 libm.so.2 => /lib/libm.so.2 Please help me to solve this problem.

[Dovecot] convert plugin fails - drops root privileges then tries to create file in /
by Mikel Ward 17 Jan '08

17 Jan '08

Hi I just tried to run the convert plugin as described at http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Convert (except with mail_location = maildir:~/Mail) It fails with an error message: Eopen(/.temp.falcon.endbracket.net.18618.8d5e0a038da6cf06) failed: Permission denied Error: imap dump-capability process returned 89 It looks like Dovecot execs /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap, which drops root privileges (probably via get_imap_capability), then loads /usr/lib/dovecot/imap/lib01_convert_plugin.so, which tries to create a file in the root directory, which it obviously won't have write privileges on. I'm running dovecot-1.0-1.2.rc15.el5 on CentOS 5. If I change the paths from ~ to /home/%u, I get this error message: Emkdir_parents(/home/dump-capability/mail) failed: Permission denied

[Dovecot] Postfix & Dovecot LDA
by tomzu＠buu.lv 17 Jan '08

17 Jan '08

Hi, I was using Dovecot (POP3,IMAP+quotas) with postfix quota "addon". But the postfix's quotas were reported differently and the quota file gets messed up all the time. So now I have also Dovecot's LDA, and everything works like charm... but... Now postfix can pass only one mail at a time to LDA. And that slows down delivery. Postfix master file: dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -f ${sender} -d ${recipient} Is there a way to pass more than one mail at a time?

[Dovecot] Deliver, sendmail, virtual users, and catch-all addresses
by Eric Loyd 17 Jan '08

17 Jan '08

I have spent a long time looking into this and can't find the answer I'm looking for, so I'm asking here. I'm cutting the example down to just the bare minimums. This is NOT my actual configuration, but is sufficient for asking this question: How can I use dovecot's deliver LDA to deliver to virtual users, but then have unknown virtual users fall back to catch-all addresses defined by sendmail? Background: * sendmail is the MTA. I do not wish to change this. * procmail is the default MDA. * deliver is set up per the dovecot documentation as another MDA. * mailertable is configured to send mydomain.com to dovecot:dovecot * SQL backend for user/passwords I have it working the way I want with the exception of catch-alls. I thought that it might work by adding @mydomain.com to virtusertable, but sendmail sees the "user not found" return from deliver as the MDA and bounces the mail to postmaster. So what I'm trying to accomplish is this: Mail from user(a)external.com to me(a)mydomain.com Deliver to me Mail from user(a)external.com to sales(a)mydomain.com (virtual) Deliver via deliver to sales(a)mydomain.com Mail from user(a)external.com to foobar(a)mydomain.com (invalid) Deliver to catchall - spam(a)otherdomain.com Can someone point me in the right direction. RTFM is fine if you'll tell me what FM to R, because I've run out of ideas... Thanks! -- Eric Loyd
