[Dovecot] 1.0-test58
by Timo Sirainen 19 Dec '04

19 Dec '04

http://dovecot.org/test/ - Fixed APPEND hanging in some situations. Didn't happen with mail_save_crlf=yes. - Added pop3_uidl_format setting. No need to patch sources anymore if you don't want the default. Does anyone want pop3_uidl_xuidl_header yes/no setting, with fallbacking to pop3_uidl_format if X-UIDL header isn't found? Shouldn't be difficult to do.. - Added mbox_very_dirty_syncs setting which tries to avoid re-reading mbox as long as possible. - CREATE dir/ wasn't working - If login_process_per_connection=no and auth process count > 1, each auth process listens in different socket. Login processes then connect to all these sockets and send requests to them in round robin. - Multiple auth sections in config file work now a bit better. dovecot-auth might still complain about timeouts though.

[Dovecot] deploying dspam
by Johannes Berg 17 Dec '04

17 Dec '04

Hi everyone, I've been thinking of phasing out my spamassassin installation (it's hardly doing me any good these days) in favour of dspam. Now since I'm working on this anyway, I thought I'd configure it so when users get any spam, it is delivered into a special folder. I figure I need the 1.0 test series for this, so I can make that folder fixed. But, I also want to allow them to move spam in and out of that folder and dspam can learn it. Anyway, I found a message dating back a while where Timo says this could easily be implemented in a plugin (in the 1.0 test series), but I can't put my finger on how to do it. Does anyone have an example plugin that can run commands when mail is moved in or out of a special folder? Or is there any plugin-writing documentation? Thanks, johannes

I already submitted it to the dspam author but did not get any reaction so I don't know if he considered to include it. In dspam 3.0 the rule to clean up dspam_token_data was terribly stressing my system, changing it to the equivalent (I hope ;) - delete from dspam_token_data where ((innocent_hits=0 and spam_hits < 5) - or (innocent_hits=1 and spam_hits < 3) or (innocent_hits=2 and - spam_hits = 0)) and @a-to_days(last_hit) > 30; reduced the queries run time by a factor of 10 to 50 easily. I simply "flattened" the atrithmetic expression within the "where" clause to allow the indices to support this query. > But this is getting too much OT, maybe we should move over to the dspam > mailing list :) I'm not subscribed there - maybe now everything is said and everyone will excuse this OT mail? ;) Greetings, Gunter -- +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + http://aachen.uni-dsl.de/ - Der direkte Draht in's Hochschulnetz! + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 362) BSI: Eine Art Ghostbuster-Truppe für Sicherheitsfragen (Spiegel Online) -- http://www.iks-jena.de/mitarb/lutz/usenet/Fachbegriffe.der.Informatik.htm l#362 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + PGP-verschlüsselte Mails bevorzugt! + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

Why shouldn't the system do all this /behind the scenes/ with a little special help from the IMAP server? > It's one option. Just to provide some ideas on how it can work. But then, what's wrong with my other suggestion about making that scale by implementing your NewXY folders behind the scenes? johannes

[Dovecot] IMAP Subdirectories
by Rory Campbell-Lange 16 Dec '04

16 Dec '04

Hi Using Apple Mail I cannot make subdirectories within new directories I have made on a Debian Dovecot-driven IMAP server (version 0.99.11-3). Some users, having used Exchange, expect to be able to do this. However I can't make it happen, even after doing some tests by chmod-ing the top-level directories to 777 and enabling the mail_full_filesystem_access = yes option on a test install. Views, comments and remarks much appreciated! Rory -- Rory Campbell-Lange <rory(a)campbell-lange.net> <www.campbell-lange.net>

[Dovecot] 1.0-test57
by Timo Sirainen 16 Dec '04

16 Dec '04

http://dovecot.org/test/ Two important fixes: - Fixes the recently reported dovecot-auth crashes with unexpected client input - Fixes mbox corruption in some not-so-common cases. Hopefully this is the last one. I added more asserts anyway which try to catch similiar mistakes and avoid losing data. Others: - Added oe-ns-eoh workaround for pop3. Fixes outlook/netscape problems with buggy mails. - lock_method = dotlock works now properly - Cache file compression crashed in some situations - auth_cache fixes from Andrey Also I have about 80% of the code written for keywords support. It's about the last major missing feature from v1.0, so naming should change into 1.0-alphas soon. From there on it should be mostly about stabilization, cleaning up the code and maybe some optimization.

[Dovecot] Dovecot SQL auth problem? (1.0-test52-56)
by Andrew Hutchings 16 Dec '04

16 Dec '04

Hi there, We are living dangerously and using the test versions on our production servers which are migrated from 3 different older servers (about 5000 accounts) therefore we have 3 different MySQL auths. All seems to be ok, but a guy in the office is using Thunderbird as pop3 access. The auth is saying: auth(sql): plain(?,xx.xxx.xx.xxx): invalid input I have hidden his IP for security reasons. The login should be user(a)domain.co.uk and his account works fine with outlook. With test 52 this killed the auth child with signal 6 and 11. Anyone have any ideas? Unrelated to this (I hope) we are also getting quite a few child xxxx (pop3) killed with signal 11 several times a minute. -- Andrew Hutchings Systems Operator / Developer / Linux Guru Netserve Consultants Ltd. http://www.domaincity.co.uk/

[Dovecot] KMail + dovecot
by Timothy Murphy 16 Dec '04

16 Dec '04

Is anyone running docecot on a home LAN. to give an IMAP feed to other machines on the LAN? I am running dovecot on my desktop, alfred. I want to collect email on my laptop, william, using KMail. As far as I can tell, dovecot is running perfectly. I can bring email from /var/spool/mail/tim on alfred to the same directory on william by running "fetchmail alfred" on william. I can then read it with KMail on william, so there is not real problem. However, KMail does not seem to be able to collect email directly from alfred, even though I have added an entry in KMail=>Settings=>Configure KMail=>Network=>Receiving giving type imap, Name (dovecot), Login, Password, Host (alfred), Port (143). and Prefix to Folders "/var/spool/mail". I don't see any error message anywhere, but when I click on File=>Check mail in dovecot it says "Checking account dovecot for new mail". but nothing appears to happen. Any suggestions or advice gratefully received. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

[Dovecot] Dovecot and PHP
by Don 16 Dec '04

16 Dec '04

Has anyone successfully compiled PHP 5 with the -imap option using Dovecot server? I get the error: "Cannot find rfc822.h. Please check your IMAP installation". It seems that Dovecot has no development libraries so I am stuck? Will I have to scrap Dovecot and use another server like Cyrus? Thanks, Don --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
