Enabling mod-sequences
by Luca Bertoncello 13 Feb '15

13 Feb '15

Hi list! I have Dovecot 1.2.9 from Ubuntu repositories on my server. Now I installed Horde and it give me sometimes the error "Mailbox does not support mod-sequences". Well, I must say, that I didn't know these mod-sequences, but I can' know all... Well, the question now is: how can I enable the support of the mod-sequences on the mailboxes of my Server? I searched in the Dovecot-Wiki, but I didn't found anything... Thanks a lot for your help Luca Bertoncello (lucabert(a)lucabert.de)

Dovecot dsync not replicating ".dovecot.sieve -> .sieve/managesieve.sieve" / setactive
by Martin Štefany 12 Feb '15

12 Feb '15

Hello, I've ran into problem with Dovecot and dsync replication. Everything works perfectly, including replication of sieve scripts, except fact that if user activates the 'managesieve' ruleset (I'm using currently Roundcubemail) on "mail1" host, it wouldn't be activated on "mail2" host, by creating symlink ".dovecot.sieve -> .sieve/managesieve.sieve". I've also tried to use 'replication_full_sync_interval', but symlink is not created anyway. I found 2 references already for this problem, but none came to any conclusion: http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2014-June/096650.html http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2014-September/097857.html Here is the output from 'doveconf -n' from both hosts for reference :: mail1 :: # 2.2.10: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux

[Patch] Allow for more than one recipient_delimiter (a la postfix 2.11)
by Lennart Weller 12 Feb '15

12 Feb '15

Hey everyone, as my previous emails apparently got stuck in a spam filter I'll try this again. The patches attached here allow for more than one recipient delimiter in the address. Which is allowed in postfix since version 2.11. E.g. lhw+postfix(a)ring0.de would be equal to lhw-postfix(a)ring0.de if configured that way. Same as postfix only the first discovered delimiter is taken into account and the priority is first to last in the list. Lennart

Controlling inactivity timeout for IMAP
by Joseph Tam 12 Feb '15

12 Feb '15

I have a problem with a user who uses a wireless carrier that keeps changing his IP as he travels throughout the city. From the perspective of our dovecot IMAP server, the user keeps logging in from another IP, and after a short while, hits up against the mail_max_userip_connections limit. It takes 30 minutes before those orphaned connections times out. Is there any way to decrease the IMAP idle timeout other than to recompile dovecot with a new value? imap-common.h:#define CLIENT_IDLE_TIMEOUT_MSECS (60*30*1000) For example, will this work? service imap { idle_kill = 600 } Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

How to Delete an user and Purge attachements with a common directory mail_attachment_dir with SIS for all users.

Hello everybody, What is the best way to delete an user mailbox (ex: /var/mail/johndoe ) when all attachments (for all users) are in a common directory with SIS deduplication (ex: mail_attachment_dir = /var/mail/attachments ) ? Trying to delete user mailbox directory (rm) and do the command : doveadm -v purge -u johndoe leave all johndoe's attachments orphelin. Best regards, TN

[PATCH] Fix for client certificate validation does not work
by Daniel Dickinson 12 Feb '15

12 Feb '15

Hi all, As I reported earlier (with a typo in the work [BUG]) client certification validation *does not* work even if you do everything exactly according to all documentation and attempts at helpful advice. I have seen this issue with both startssl.com and self-signed certificates, and based on what I've seen from searching the web, this is a problem that has gotten little attention because most people don't bother, but are more than willing to give out useless advice on how to make it work. Furthermore the issue does NOT occur with the cyrus-imap mail server, so it is definitely a server-side issue. The actual issue is that the code for calling OpenSSL that constructs the client certificate validation is in fact WRONG. I don't have a perfect patch as I was mostly interested in getting it working for my needs and didn't bother with constructing the list of CA names to send to the client, preferring to let OpenSSL handle all that sort of thing. What it comes down to is that the code, which probably worked at one point, was not correctly updated at some point and since then client side certificate validation has been BROKEN. I have patched against 2.2.9, however I have seen this problem in the versions in both Debian Wheezy and Debian Jessie as well. As you will see from the patch (which is an attachment as people tend to complain that patches get mangled when you inline them, and even if I have a good client I've gotten heck because the receiver didn't. Regards, Daniel

Processing Maildir contents on message-by-message basis
by Jeff Kletsky 12 Feb '15

12 Feb '15

I (finally) moved over to Maildir storage here and would like to implement some "scripts" to manage taking actions on emails manually identified as misclassified as spam/ham. After reading through the Dovecot 2 description of how it works to try to see how it interacts with other processes changing the files. I'm concerned that I would be corrupting the message indexes if I just go hog-wild and run the scripts on the filesystem, rather than through Dovecot in some way. The types of actions taken would likely be: * Select a message from a given mailbox (the "source") * Potentially modify it drastically (remove spamassassin markup, for example) * Pipe the modified message to a mail-delivery agent (still running procmail here) and/or to sa-learn * Assuming successful completion of the pipe action(s), remove the source message from the mailbox While I can use doveadm to do bulk move/delete actions, I don't see a clear way to iterate through a set of messages and perform actions on them. First off, if I wrangle and mangle the message files directly, do I have to worry about the indexes, or do the indexes "magically" repair themselves in cases where the messages are either altered (including headers) or removed? Have I missed a way to iterate over messages and process it using external tools using the dovecot tools? Has this been discussed ad nauseum and I somehow missed it? (If so, for which I apologize profusely). Thanks, Jeff

When using CRYPT to encrypt the password, you must put the following in dovecot-sql.conf.ext default_pass_scheme = CRYPT I hope this can help more people, in addition to leave you as I did my query: password_query = \ SELECT password \ FROM users WHERE login = '%u -- editor de sueños
