Merging existing mailboxes to aliases
by Lefteris Tsintjelis 19 May '19

19 May '19

I am trying to merge all, existing or not, different mailboxes in one with the mailbox alias plugin. If I add the following lines, will the existing mailboxes automatically merge in one mailbox and corresponding links auto create? If not, do I have to do this manually? mailbox_alias_new = Spam mailbox_alias_new2 = Junk E-mail mailbox_alias_new3 = Sent Items mailbox_alias_new4 = Sent Messages mailbox_alias_new5 = Deleted Items mailbox_alias_old = Junk mailbox_alias_old2 = Junk mailbox_alias_old3 = Sent mailbox_alias_old4 = Sent mailbox_alias_old5 = Trash Lefteris

Do we need ssl_dh_parameters_length in version 2.3
by MRob 19 May '19

19 May '19

Hi, I couldn't really find documentation about ssl_dh_parameters_length except for mention in passing on the page https://wiki2.dovecot.org/SSL/DovecotConfiguration For version 2.3 and above is that setting necessary? If so what are the values I can use, is setting it high like 4096 beneficial or make any problems for clients? Thanks for assistance.

How to continuously gather statistics?
by Roel van Duijnhoven 17 May '19

17 May '19

Hello, I recently upgraded to the latest version of Dovecot, and want to use the newly introduced logging / event system. I want to fetch the statistics every couple of seconds, and push those to our logging platform. Metrics such as: number of IMAP commands, average time they took, etc. However the metrics as reported by Dovecot continously increment. So I see two solutions: - Our solution could keep track of the previous values. But that could also break if the statistics are reset for some reason (e.g. threshold reached). - My second thought was to use "stats -r". That *should* clear the statistics directly after fetching them. And thus, give a better picture. However I am not sure if this gives me actual useful results. Or is there maybe a better approach to fetch statistics that I overlooked? Thanks a lot. Best, Roel van Duijnhoven

Dovecot Separator change
by Oliver Werner 16 May '19

16 May '19

Hi community, actually we are using dovecot 2.2.27 without shares mailboxes. Now we would like to implement it. So the problem is that our separator is dot „.“ and the username like „firstname.surname“. That’s doesn’t works with shared mailboxes. Are there a migration guide for changing „.“ to „/„ or it's not possible? kind regards Oliver

File-dictionary based quotas and SETQUOTA
by Ganael Laplanche 16 May '19

16 May '19

Hello, I am trying to set up file-dictionary based quotas while supporting the SETQUOTA IMAP command. I am using the following configuration : ---- plugin { quota = dict:User quota::file:%h/Maildir/dovecot-quota quota_set = dict:file:%h/Maildir/dovecot-quota } ---- which enables correct quota accounting + setting through SETQUOTA. A user's dovecot-quota file ends with the following contents : ---- priv/quota/limit/storage 5242880 priv/quota/limit/messages 20 priv/quota/messages 1 priv/quota/storage 8506282 ---- which shows a correct accounting (1 mail received, ~8MB used) and correct setting after having used the following IMAP command through a master user : A2 SETQUOTA "User quota" (STORAGE 5242880 MESSAGE 20) *But* the problem is that I am unable to fetch the limits and consume them from userdb (as a consequence, the limits are never applied). On the consuming side, I am using a dictionary userdb to try to fetch the 'priv/quota/limit/storage' value from the file but it does not work because the key is never found. Here is my configuration : ---- userdb { driver = dict args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-quota.conf.ext } ---- and my dovecot-dict-quota.conf.ext file : ---- uri = file:%h/Maildir/dovecot-quota iterate_disable = yes key quota { key = priv/quota/limit/storage default_value = 100 } userdb_fields { quota_rule = *:storage=%{dict:quota} } ---- If I try to fetch the quota for that user : # doveadm quota get -u ganael.laplanche(a)centralesupelec.fr Quota name Type Value Limit % User quota STORAGE 8307 100 8307 User quota MESSAGE 1 - 0 the default rule is returned (100). The logs show : May 16 12:02:45 mailhost1-saclay dovecot: auth-worker(12899): Debug: dict(Ganael.Laplanche(a)centralesupelec.fr): Lookup: shared/priv/quota/limit/ storage not found, using default value 100 We can see that the default quota rule has been applied because the key is not found. The problem is that a "shared/" prefix is always prepended when looking for the key I configured (priv/quota/limit/storage). If I test the dictionary manually, the key is found : # doveadm dict get -u ganael.laplanche(a)centralesupelec.fr "file:/var/vmail/l/ laplanche_gan/Maildir/dovecot-quota" priv/quota/limit/storage 5242880 Does anyone know how to prevent Dovecot from adding that prefix and make it fetch the correct value from userdb ?

Password database - external verification
by Richard Hector 16 May '19

16 May '19

Hi all, I'm currently using a PostgreSQL database for my user/password db, directly from dovecot. The trouble with that is that I'm stuck with whatever hash algorithms dovecot supports - which IIRC means (a subset of?) what libc has been compiled with, which can be a bit restrictive. So I'd like to use an external tool, which would also let me integrate other applications (eg web apps). PAM seems to be most suited to sharing accounts with the OS, which isn't what I want. BSDAuth likewise, but I'm not using BSD. CheckPassword looks like a somewhat convoluted protocol, but maybe the best bet? IMAP - well, that's circular :-) OAuth2 looks possible, but seems to be focused on http? Any suggestions? And recommended implementations? How hard is it to add extra methods? Thanks, Richard
