[Dovecot] Tiny kqueue specific patch
by Václav Haisman 22 Mar '06

22 Mar '06

Hi, I have noticed from logs that (only handful of occurrences during whole week) sometimes there is some kind of unrecognized event on handle and the branch with i_panic() in ioloop-kqueue.c:io_loop_handler_run() catches it. This patch allows the i_panic() to print some more info about the nature of the unrecognized event so that I can find out what it is about. Since it is really rare event I ask anybody who sees Dovecot dying with "Unrecognized event" in logs to try this patch and report back with the output if it triggers again. The patch is against version 1.beta3.

[Dovecot] One dovecot, multiple domains
by Ben 22 Mar '06

22 Mar '06

Hey guys, I've got dovecot configured to work perfectly for virtual users across different domains. It's great. My problem is that, as far as I can tell, dovecot makes me use one SSL certificate across all my domains. That's not what I want. Is there a way I can get dovecot to use the cert for mail.foo.com when somebody is logging into a foo.com account, and the cert for mail.bar.com when somebody is logging into a bar.com account? Am I missing something obvious, or asking the impoosible?

[Dovecot] Using mbox INBOX with Maildirs?
by Mark Winslow 22 Mar '06

22 Mar '06

Thanks for everybody's tips on the mbox to maildirs converter. I was unaware that Maildirs was a common format not specific to dovecot, so I was searching using a dovecot keyword. I'm having this problem now with inboxes. I want to use maildirs, but my mail is delivered to an mbox. I can't seem to get dovecot to recognize the inbox location. Is something like: maildir:%h/Maildir:INBOX=/var/mail/%u impossible to use? What I'm trying to do is slowly merge people from mboxes to maildirs, so I have to use the passwd file per user maildirs settings with some sort of recognizeable inbox. I'm using sendmail as my mail server. Do I have to tell that to put the mail in the right inbox format? Thanks. __________________________________ Discover Yahoo!

RE: [Dovecot] Shared namespaces

Hi Curtis, Aye, I have read the wiki. I was pretty surprised this wasn't covered to be honest. Well, I've tried playing with the umask setting (thanks for the suggestion Channing) and changing the index locations (thanks Curtis), but no joy. I'm just about to start digging into the source to see if it's something I can sort out myself. Many thanks everyone, Mark Lidstone -----Original Message----- From: dovecot-bounces(a)dovecot.org [mailto:dovecot-bounces@dovecot.org]On Behalf Of Curtis Maloney Sent: 19 March 2006 22:51 To: Mark Lidstone Cc: dovecot(a)dovecot.org Subject: Re: [Dovecot] Shared namespaces Mark Lidstone wrote: > Hi all, > > I logged with Thunderbird as user 1 and everything seems to work fine. However, when I logged in as user 2 I was getting all kinds of errors. On checking the permissions of /home/public/Maildir/subscriptions it was user1:user1 with mode 600. Just a thought, but have you tried setting the INDEX location in the default_mail_env ? I'm not certain, but I believe the subscriptions file is included in the INDEX set, and by setting its location elsewhere, you would prevent it from being inside the Maildir. This would prevent ownership hijacking, AND let everyone have their own subscriptions. I'm not certain of this, so either someone else can fill in the details, or you could check the source (and please report your findings:) > To be perfectly honest, I'd ideally like to give people separate subscription settings anyway. I thought about symlinking the folders in, but that makes it a manual process to add new folders to everyone's maildirs.

Using: default_mail_env = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u:INDEX=/var/indexes/%u I have a ~/mail/.subscriptions file (copied from .mailboxlist) Using: telnet localhost 143 a04 LSUB "" "*" => works fine, gives the list of subscribed folders a05 LIST "" * => works fine, gives the list of all folders a06 SUBSCRIBE "test" => deletes the ~/mail/.subscriptions file, it never gets recreated and LSUB gives an empty list after that. Any clues Bertrand Leboeuf

[Dovecot] compilation and installation of dspam-plugin
by Stefan Schmidt 21 Mar '06

21 Mar '06

hello johannes, i just discovered your wonderful plugin for dovecot. it was pretty much exactly what i was looking for, only that i didn't know that yet :) "Instead of moving mail into special folders, the user has two actions available: moving it out of the SPAM folder and moving it into the SPAM folder. The dovecot plugin watches these actions [...] and tells dspam that it made an error and needs to re-classify the message, depending on the action the user took. The user can now move the message directly into whatever folder she choses, and it all works. [...]" i think this is the most usable and intuitive approach to dspam-training i have seen so far and would love to integrate dspam with this plugin into my current setup (postfix + maildrop + dovecot). i have installed dovecot via package from the debian stable section [1] therefore i am currently using version 0.99.14 in my setup. despite this difference in version i gave your betacode [2] a try together with the source of the corresponding dovecot-version [3], hoping it wouldn't crash and burn when used with my earlier version of dovecot. but i didn't get to the point where i could actually testdrive it. i tried compiling the plugin with the instructions contained in the file, but the compilation didn't suceed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- stefan@myserver:~/sources/dovecot-dspam-plugin/dovecot-1.0.beta3/plugin$ gcc -fPIC -shared -Wall -I../src/ -I../src/lib -I.. -I../src/lib-storage -I../src/lib-mail -I../src/lib-imap -I../src/imap/ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H spam_plugin.c -o spam_plugin.so In file included from ../src/imap/common.h:4, from spam_plugin.c:32: ../src/lib/lib.h:6:22: config.h: No such file or directory In file included from ../src/lib/lib.h:23, from ../src/imap/common.h:4, from spam_plugin.c:32: ../src/lib/compat.h:31:4: #error uoff_t size not set In file included from /usr/include/sys/socket.h:35, from ../src/lib/compat.h:80, from ../src/lib/lib.h:23, from ../src/imap/common.h:4, from spam_plugin.c:32: /usr/include/bits/socket.h:36: error: conflicting types for `socklen_t' ../src/lib/compat.h:51: error: previous declaration of `socklen_t' In file included from /usr/include/netinet/in.h:23, from ../src/lib/compat.h:81, from ../src/lib/lib.h:23, from ../src/imap/common.h:4, from spam_plugin.c:32: /usr/include/stdint.h:111: error: conflicting types for `uint_fast32_t' ../src/lib/compat.h:46: error: previous declaration of `uint_fast32_t' /usr/include/stdint.h:141: error: conflicting types for `uintmax_t' ../src/lib/compat.h:38: error: previous declaration of `uintmax_t' In file included from ../src/lib/lib.h:23, from ../src/imap/common.h:4, from spam_plugin.c:32: ../src/lib/compat.h:107: error: redefinition of `struct iovec' In file included from ../src/imap/commands.h:6, from ../src/imap/client.h:4, from ../src/imap/common.h:5, from spam_plugin.c:32: ../src/lib-storage/mail-storage.h:435: error: syntax error before "mail_get_virtual_size" ../src/lib-storage/mail-storage.h:435: warning: type defaults to `int' in declaration of `mail_get_virtual_size' ../src/lib-storage/mail-storage.h:435: warning: data definition has no type or storage class ../src/lib-storage/mail-storage.h:438: error: syntax error before "mail_get_physical_size" ../src/lib-storage/mail-storage.h:438: warning: type defaults to `int' in declaration of `mail_get_physical_size' ../src/lib-storage/mail-storage.h:438: warning: data definition has no type or storage class In file included from ../src/imap/commands.h:7, from ../src/imap/client.h:4, from ../src/imap/common.h:5, from spam_plugin.c:32: ../src/lib-imap/imap-parser.h:45: error: syntax error before "uoff_t" ../src/lib-imap/imap-parser.h:45: warning: no semicolon at end of struct or union ../src/lib-imap/imap-parser.h:45: warning: no semicolon at end of struct or union ../src/lib-imap/imap-parser.h:47: error: syntax error before '}' token ../src/lib-imap/imap-parser.h:47: warning: type defaults to `int' in declaration of `_data' ../src/lib-imap/imap-parser.h:47: warning: data definition has no type or storage class ../src/lib-imap/imap-parser.h:48: error: syntax error before '}' token ../src/lib-imap/imap-parser.h:72: error: field `args' has incomplete type ../src/lib-imap/imap-parser.h:125: error: syntax error before "_imap_arg_literal_size_error" ../src/lib-imap/imap-parser.h:125: warning: type defaults to `int' in declaration of `_imap_arg_literal_size_error' ../src/lib-imap/imap-parser.h:125: warning: data definition has no type or storage class ---------------------------------------------------------------------- just in case it matters: i currently have gcc 3.3.5 installed. greetings, stefan [1] http://packages.debian.org/stable/mail/dovecot-common [2] http://snipurl.com/nvol [3] http://www.dovecot.org/releases/dovecot-1.0.beta3.tar.gz
