Strange repplication issues
by Bertrand Caplet 24 Nov '14

24 Nov '14

Hi, I know there are lots of questions about replication, but I searched and didn't find my question. I've got some problems with syncing. I've got 2 servers: A and B When a email arrives on server A sometimes it's not syncing in server B I think server A doesn't always notify server B there are new mails to sync. But I don't know how to fix it. And I spotted something, when it isn't syncing. The only thing to do is to send local or remote mail to server B and then it sync or do a "doveadm sync -A tcp:serverB.example:port" of course. My doveconf -n of the two servers are in attachements bellow. By the way both of my dovecot servers are v2.2.9 P.S.: I didn't test from server B to A but I think it's the same problem.

failed login message

hi i am using dovecot for pop3 and imap along with qmail toaster i had recently changed over from a 32 bit system to a 64 bit system. i use squirrelmail. the issue i face is that when the user inserts an invalid password then the message he gets is connection dropped by imap server (instead of invalid userid or password) such a message confuses the user. my earlier 32 bit version used to give the correct message i am posting this issue here because i am not sure if this is squirrelmail issue or a dovecot issue. can somebody please let me know the reason for this ? rajesh

Migrate Separator and prefix
by Hanns Mattes 23 Nov '14

23 Nov '14

Hi, I'm thinking of changing the separator form "." to "/" and also to allow only folders under INBOX, changing the Prefix. I have to dovecot-servers, which are synched by the replication plugin. My idea is to switch off Server B, make the necessary config-changes, delete all user maildirs, restart the server an let replication do it's work. After that (and correcting the sieve-rules of the users if necessary), I'd stop server A, delete, restart, resync. My idea is, that this will avoid dealing with subscriptions files and change them to reflect the new INBOX-Structure. Is this going to work at all and/or is there a better way for the wanted migration? Thanks in advance Hanns

Outlook Express and STARTTLS
by Robert Moskowitz 23 Nov '14

23 Nov '14

I have one user that uses Outlook Express. Not only do I not use it, I don't have any systems here that can easily use it. I bit of a challenge. I am strictly enforcing STARTTLS or TLS for SMTP/POP3/IMAP connections. SO far a google search has not shown me how to configure this for a user. Anyone have a pointer to instructions so I can talk the person through the changes?

Static build failure
by Baruch Siach 23 Nov '14

23 Nov '14

Hi dovecot list, Static build of dovecot fails because src/lib/module-dir.c refers to MODULE_SUFFIX that is undefined when building statically. This least to the following build failure: module-dir.c: In function 'module_file_get_name': module-dir.c:624:20: error: 'MODULE_SUFFIX' undeclared (first use in this function) p = strstr(fname, MODULE_SUFFIX); ^ The following somewhat inelegant patch fixes the problem. diff -Nuar dovecot-2.2.15-orig/src/lib/module-dir.c dovecot-2.2.15/src/lib/module-dir.c --- dovecot-2.2.15-orig/src/lib/module-dir.c 2014-10-18 00:10:15.000000000 +0300 +++ dovecot-2.2.15/src/lib/module-dir.c 2014-11-13 19:27:29.417786313 +0200 @@ -621,7 +621,11 @@ if (*p == '_') fname = p + 1; +#ifdef MODULE_SUFFIX p = strstr(fname, MODULE_SUFFIX); +#else + p = NULL; +#endif if (p == NULL) return fname; baruch -- http://baruch.siach.name/blog/ ~. .~ Tk Open Systems =}------------------------------------------------ooO--U--Ooo------------{= - baruch(a)tkos.co.il - tel: +972.2.679.5364, http://www.tkos.co.il -

Prevent a message from be deleted but not from be moved
by Bruno Galindro da Costa 22 Nov '14

22 Nov '14

Is it possible to prevent a message from be deleted but not from be moved to another mailbox via ACL? I need this because I'm using antispam plugin with the mailtrain backend. It calls a script every time a message is moved to/from a monitored spam mailbox. But, if the user deletes a message from the spam folder, the script is executed with the option to train the antispam to consider that excluded message as a non spam. So, what I need is to prevent the user from delete a message from the spam mailbox, but I want to permit the user to move a menssage from the spam mailbox to another mailbox. -- Att.

You have the directory entries .dovecot.sieve and .subscriptions, which is anyway a directory indeed, so that's not even a bug. Move all your maildirs to /home/mail/%d/%u/Maildir and then update mail_location accordingly. Then move out the sieve files - .dovecot.sieve, sieve/, .dovecot.sieve.log, .dovecot.svbin to the home directory. It looks like these are not system users, so you may need to set mail_home explicitly to set up the home directory to /home/mail/%d/%u See http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailLocation http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailLocation/Maildir http://wiki2.dovecot.org/VirtualUsers/Home > > root@fastmail:/home/mail/a.com/a@a.com# l > total 108 > drwx------ 13 5000 5000 4096 Nov 20 22:19 ./ > drwx------ 3 5000 5000 4096 Nov 3 23:06 ../ > drwx------ 2 5000 5000 4096 Nov 20 22:07 cur/ > -rw------- 1 5000 5000 9920 Nov 21 03:25 dovecot.index.cache > -rw------- 1 5000 5000 12908 Nov 20 22:19 dovecot.index.log > -rw------- 1 5000 5000 202 Nov 10 22:35 .dovecot.lda-dupes > -rw------- 1 5000 5000 312 Nov 10 22:23 dovecot.mailbox.log > lrwxrwxrwx 1 5000 5000 23 Nov 9 12:21 .dovecot.sieve -> > sieve/managesieve.sieve > -rw------- 1 5000 5000 461 Nov 9 12:28 .dovecot.sieve.log > -rw------- 1 5000 5000 270 Nov 9 15:43 .dovecot.svbin > -rw------- 1 5000 5000 782 Nov 19 23:26 dovecot-uidlist > -rw------- 1 5000 5000 8 Nov 8 16:32 dovecot-uidvalidity > -r--r--r-- 1 5000 5000 0 Nov 3 23:06 dovecot-uidvalidity.54580a72 > drwx------ 5 5000 5000 4096 Nov 8 16:33 .Drafts/ > drwx------ 5 5000 5000 4096 Nov 8 16:33 .Junk/ > drwx------ 5 5000 5000 4096 Nov 8 18:50 .Junk E-mail/ > drwx------ 2 5000 5000 4096 Nov 19 23:44 new/ > drwx------ 5 5000 5000 4096 Nov 8 16:33 .ola ' aaaa \r/ > drwx------ 5 5000 5000 4096 Nov 8 16:33 .Sent Items/ > drwx------ 3 5000 5000 4096 Nov 9 15:42 sieve/ > -rw------- 1 5000 5000 69 Nov 10 22:23 subscriptions > drwx------ 5 5000 5000 4096 Nov 8 21:15 .subscriptions/ > drwx------ 2 5000 5000 4096 Nov 19 23:26 tmp/ > drwx------ 5 5000 5000 4096 Nov 8 21:15 .Trash/ > root@fastmail:/home/mail/a.com/a@a.com# > > > doveconf: > # 2.2.13: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf > # OS: Linux 3.14.23x x86_64 Debian 7.6 ext4 > auth_mechanisms = plain login > dict { > sqlquota = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext > } > disable_plaintext_auth = no > listen = * > login_greeting = myserver > mail_location = maildir:/home/mail/%d/%u > mail_plugins = quota > mail_privileged_group = mail > managesieve_notify_capability = mailto > managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character > vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags > copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date ihave > namespace inbox { > inbox = yes > location = > mailbox Drafts { > special_use = \Drafts > } > mailbox Junk { > special_use = \Junk > } > mailbox Sent { > special_use = \Sent > } > mailbox "Sent Messages" { > special_use = \Sent > } > mailbox Trash { > special_use = \Trash > } > prefix = > } > passdb { > args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext > driver = sql > } > plugin { > quota = dict:User Quota::proxy::sqlquota > quota_exceeded_message = Quota exceeded (mailbox for user is full) / Conta > de destino cheia (o email de destino tem a caixa cheia) > quota_rule = *:storage=100M > sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve > sieve_dir = ~/sieve > sieve_max_script_size = 10M > } > postmaster_address = trash(a)email.pt > protocols = imap lmtp pop3 sieve > service dict { > unix_listener dict { > mode = 0777 > } > } > service imap { > process_limit = 1024 > } > service lmtp { > inet_listener lmtp { > address = 0.0.0.0 > port = 24 > } > process_min_avail = 10 > unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { > group = postfix > mode = 0666 > user = postfix > } > } > service pop3-login { > inet_listener pop3 { > port = 110 > } > } > service pop3 { > process_limit = 1024 > } > ssl = no > ssl_cert = </etc/dovecot/dovecot.pem > ssl_key = </etc/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem > userdb { > args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext > driver = sql > } > protocol lmtp { > mail_plugins = quota sieve > } > protocol imap { > mail_plugins = quota imap_quota > }

There are a number of funny things here. First of all, dovecot.sieve belongs in the *home* directory, not in Maildir. The home directory can be, typically, the parent directory of the Maildir. Like in: domains/example.com/user1/Maildir - the user1/ is the home directory and dovecot.sieve lives there. Would you please post your complete dovecot config (output of the command: dovecot -n) and also an example output of ls -la of your directory structure? See also http://dovecot.org/mailinglists.html
