BINARY capability not working correctly?
by Jouko Nikula 29 Sep '15

29 Sep '15

Hello, I have trouble with some attachments not working on Horde and Roundcube. I made a ticket to Roundcube webmail and they tracked down it to Dovecot not responding correctly to BINARY FETCH: http://trac.roundcube.net/ticket/1490532 What is causing Dovecot to answer NIL? Is there an issue in Dovecot? If I want to disable to BINARY capability in Dovecot I need to use imap_capabilities. I found out that I could add capabilities with syntax imap_capabilities= +FOO but it seems I can't use similar syntax (imap_capabilities= -FOO) to remove capabilities? If I list all capabilities like: imap_capabilities= IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE AUTH=PLAIN SORT SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT MULTIAPPEND URL-PARTIAL CATENATE UNSELECT CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE QRESYNC ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH LIST-STATUS SPECIAL-USE MOVE QUOTA I understood that this will result in listing all capabilities already pre-login. Is this a problem? Thanks, Jouko Nikula

mirroring one domain.tld to domain.tld.au
by voytek＠sbt.net.au 29 Sep '15

29 Sep '15

I have Postfix/Dovecot/postfixadmin/MySQL with several virtual mailbox domains one of the domains is like aname.com.au, the user also now has aname.com, and, would like to 'mirror' most of the addresses to be user(a)aname.com, THOUGH, some are to remain as user2(a)aname.com.au so, both user(a)aname.com as well as user(a)aname.com.au should be one user the users retrive emails as user(a)aname.com.au longer term... some would want to use aname.com.au. some, aname.com what's the best/proper way to do so in Dovecot ? I think I can do Postfix with postfixadmin to "Mirror addresses of one of your domains to another." but what do I do at the Dovecot end...? thanks for any pointers, suggestions or advice

distuguish between different domains
by Andreas Meyer 29 Sep '15

29 Sep '15

Hello! I asked myself wether it is possible to distinguish between different doamins in dovecot so that a user only sees his mailbox when he is connecting with user1(a)aaa.de specifying the server with mail.aaa.de for example. So the server does not handout the mailbox for user1(a)bbb.de when the client connects to mail.aaa.de as user1(a)bbb.de I have this problem with roundcube. Dovecot is responisble for two domains. With roundcube I can login as user1(a)aaa.de altough the client is configured like so: $config['smtp_server'] = 'tls://mail.bbb.de'; and I am landing in the mailbox of user1(a)aaa.de Is there a way to striktly differentiate between doamins? Both domains have their own IP-addresses. Regards Andreas

Newbie why is dovecot classified diff then sendmail or courier
by David Niklas 29 Sep '15

29 Sep '15

Hello, this is probably a dumb question, but I can't for the life of me figure out why sendmail and courier are classified universally as network-mail-mta whereas dovecot is in places like network-mail-general or some such place. I've used several Linux distros and have noted this keenly (they also normally classify photorec, the HD recovery tool as hardware-photography,so this may just be a mistake). I'm concerned that I'm looking into the wrong software for an mail transport/delivery agent. Thanks, David

doveadm fetch line wrapping

The manual at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Doveadm/Deduplicate tells how to estimate what will be expunged: > doveadm -f table fetch -u jane 'guid uid' mailbox a_Box | sort I wanted to learn the subjects: > doveadm -f table fetch -u jane 'guid hdr.Subject' mailbox a_Box In the output, long lines will be broken up, continuation lines starting with a blank (mostly), disabling the sort > doveadm -f table fetch -u jane 'guid hdr.Subject' mailbox a_Box \ > | sed -e :a -e '$!N;s/\n\s//;ta' -e 'P;D' | sort --stable Some (gnu) sed foo joins them back together, the sort works again :) -- peter

Sieve and forward
by Il Neofita 28 Sep '15

28 Sep '15

Hi I have already posted to the postfix group, however, I believe that sieve and dovecot should be able to fix this problem. When I receive a message from yahoo and the user forward it to a gmail or yahoo acount this email is considered as spam or rejected. >From yahoo is rejected since it seems that I am try to send spam since the email should be signed with dkim. Is there a way to encpuslated or sign in some way. Thank you
