[Dovecot] v1.0.11 released
by Timo Sirainen 04 Mar '08

04 Mar '08

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.0/dovecot-1.0.11.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.0/dovecot-1.0.11.tar.gz.sig * mail_extra_groups setting was commonly used insecurely. This setting is now deprecated. Most users should switch to using mail_privileged_group setting, but if you really need the old functionality use mail_access_groups instead. - mbox: Dropped some of the physical size fetch optimizations added in v1.0.8. This makes some commands slower, but should fix the rest of the problems. - IMAP: SEARCH BEFORE/ON/SINCE didn't handle timezones correctly. - ldap: auth_bind was doing lookups using subtree scope instead of the scope specified in config file. - zlib plugin crashfixes by Richard Platel - master passdbs: pass=yes setting was broken with blocking passdbs (e.g. MySQL)

[Dovecot] Missing IMAP folders
by Willem Jan Withagen 04 Mar '08

04 Mar '08

Hi, I'm fresh starting to use dovecot. Before this I used bincimap, mainly because it was very simple to config. I've tried to find the FAQ's and tried searching the archives, but little came up. My current config: server FreeBSD i386, postfix 2.4 dovecot 1.0.10 client: windows 2000 thunderbird 2.0.0.12 after some inital config this starts up, and I even have the advantage that I can save in the Sent folder on the server. However I have over 3500 folders and most of them are more than 3 levels deep. And I only get to see the first top level of directories. Searching and/or subscribing does not bring anything. Does somebody have pointers on how to fix this, other than manually trying to recreate al subscriptions. --WjW

[Dovecot] Index corruption with squirrelmail.
by "Fábio M. Catunda" 03 Mar '08

03 Mar '08

Hi. I don't know if the problem is related with squirrelmail or not, but I started to have index corruption when I started to try squirrelmail. Some informaton about my instalation: dovecot 1.0.5-1 debian package with maildir squirrelmail 1.4.9a-2 debian package Some log information: dovecot: 2008-02-27 08:39:39 Warning: IMAP(<please don't send spam to me>): fscking index file /var/virtual/contactnet.com.br/fcatunda/Maildir/dovecot.index dovecot: 2008-02-27 08:39:39 Error: IMAP(<please don't send spam to me>): Unexpected transaction log desync with index /var/virtual/contactnet.com.br/fcatunda/Maildir/dovecot.index I'm not pretty sure, but it looks like that if I keep my thunderbird open, receive a message and a rule move the message from INBOX to some other folder and then, finally, I try to login in squirrelmail I reveive a message like this: Query: EXPUNGE And in my log file the above message appears. I already deleted dovecot.* files, but the error ocurred again. Any suggestion? Thanks!

[Dovecot] ManageSieve v0.10.1 released for Dovecot 1.1.rc1
by Stephan Bosch 02 Mar '08

02 Mar '08

Hello Dovecot users, I found a few annoying bugs in the ManageSieve implementation. Particularly, v0.10.0 can pollute the tmp directory of the sieve_storage directory with useless compiled script files. Change Log v0.10.1 ------------------- * Fixed bug introduced in v0.10.0: compiled scripts were also written to disk in the sieve/tmp directory and left there. This accumulates much .sievec junk in that directory over time. * Fixed bug in tmp file generation for sieve-storage: errors other than EEXIST would cause the daemon to sleep() loop indefinitely. + Improved log lines to be more recognizable as being generated from managesieve. + Added short proxy configuration explanation to the README file + Added 'Known Issues' section to the README file - Fixed assert bug in sieve-storage occuring when save is canceled. (Last 5 changes were also back ported to new v9.2 ManageSieve version for dovecot-1.0.10, available at http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.0/) Installation ------------ The short description I provided in my previous mail is still valid: http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2008-February/028708.html New release: http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.1/dovecot-1.1-managesieve-0.10.1.tar.gz http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.1/dovecot-1.1-managesieve-0.10.1.tar.gz.s… Latest patch version is still valid: http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.1/dovecot-1.1.rc1-managesieve-0.10.0.diff… http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.1/dovecot-1.1.rc1-managesieve-0.10.0.diff… (my public key (id: 3DFBB4F4) can be found at wwwkeys.pgp.net) Have fun testing the Dovecot ManageSieve service. Don't hesitate to notify me when there are problems. Regards, -- Stephan Bosch stephan(a)rename-it.nl IRC: Freenode, #dovecot, S[r]us

[Dovecot] Dovecots default NTLM Version
by hever＠web.de 02 Mar '08

02 Mar '08

Hi, I'm not sure what NTLM version is used as default by authentication between Outlook and dovecot and I couldn't find it out with a packet sniffer. I think its NTLMv2 but I'm not sure so I'm asking here. I know that NTLMv1 is not secure against a man in the middle. _____________________________________________________________________ Der WEB.DE SmartSurfer hilft bis zu 70% Ihrer Onlinekosten zu sparen! http://smartsurfer.web.de/?mc=100071&distributionid=000000000066

[Dovecot] Sieve management without shell access or homedir
by Tobias Franzén 02 Mar '08

02 Mar '08

Hi. Is there some user friendly application (web based, maybe a webmail addon) that can help a user manage their sieve filtering? My mail users don't have any shell access to the mail host. Most users won't have a regular home directory either. Can I store this sieve information someplace else? Either directly in LDAP, or in some database, or a common directory for all user's sieve files? /Tobias

[Dovecot] Master user doesn't work with 'pass=yes'
by Ron Avriel 02 Mar '08

02 Mar '08

Hi, It seems that master user login does not work with the 'pass=yes' option as recommended and documented. I defined a master user passdb as documented. In addition, I have a passdb sql. If 'pass=yes' is defined then it seems that dovecot recognizes the master login, verifies the master password but then attempts to verify the ***master*** password again with the ***user*** password (?) and fails. If 'pass=yes' is not defined then master login works OK, but if the user does not exist I get a "* BYE Internal login failure. Refer to server log for more information." instead of the usual "NO Authentication failed.". In addition, I'd like to check the SQL users before the master user, because most logins will be done by SQL users. If I place master passdb after passdb SQL then dovecot fails to start with "Last passdb can't have pass=yes". How can I use master password and "pass=yes"? I'm using dovecot 1.0.10. This is the configuration that fails master login: dovecot.conf: auth_master_user_separator=* auth default { passdb passwd-file { args = /usr/local/etc/passwd.masterusers master = yes pass = yes } passdb sql { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf } userdb prefetch { } userdb sql { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf } } passwd.masterusers: master:{SHA}aFAMsNWXTaL5dwGZWeeOhWhlTZA= (password is 'masterpass') log file: Feb 18 17:44:27 ha-test1 dovecot: auth(default): client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=IMAP secured lip=127.0.0.1 rip=127.0.0.1 resp=AHVzZXIxQGV4YW1wbGUub3JnKm1hc3RlcgBtYXN0ZXJwYXNz Feb 18 17:44:27 ha-test1 dovecot: auth(default): passwd-file(master,127.0.0.1,master): lookup: user=master file=/usr/local/etc/passwd.masterusers Feb 18 17:44:27 ha-test1 dovecot: auth(default): passdb(master,127.0.0.1,master): Master user logging in as user1(a)example.org Feb 18 17:44:27 ha-test1 dovecot: auth-worker(default): sql(user1(a)example.org,127.0.0.1): query: SELECT username as user, password, maildir as userdb_home, concat('maildir:', maildir) as userdb_mail, 150 as userdb_uid, 12 as userdb_gid, concat('maildir:storage=', quota) AS userdb_quota FROM mailbox WHERE username = 'user1(a)example.org' AND active = '1' Feb 18 17:44:27 ha-test1 dovecot: auth-worker(default): sql(user1(a)example.org,127.0.0.1): Password mismatch ***** Here 'masterpass' is compared to the **USER** password hash (?) ******************* Feb 18 17:44:27 ha-test1 dovecot: auth-worker(default): sql(user1(a)example.org,127.0.0.1): PLAIN-MD5(masterpass) != '81dc9bdb52d04dc20036dbd8313ed055' Feb 18 17:44:28 ha-test1 dovecot: auth(default): client out: FAIL 1 user=user1(a)example.org Thanks, Ron ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing.

I've just switched from UW-IMAP to Dovecot v1.1.beta16, and I'm having a bit of a problem with a difference in the behaviour of the LIST command. What I'm seeing is: * PREAUTH [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 SASL-IR SORT THREAD=REFERENCES MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT LITERAL+ IDLE CHILDREN NAMESPACE LOGIN-REFERRALS UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1] Logged in as jp3 a list test/ * * LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "/" "test/a1" * LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "/" "test/a1/b1" * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "/" "test/a1/b1/c1" * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "/" "test/a1/b1/c2" * LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "/" "test/a1/b2" * LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "/" "test/a2" * LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "/" "test/a3" a OK List completed. b list test/a1/ * * LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "/" "test/a1/" * LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "/" "test/a1/b1" * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "/" "test/a1/b1/c1" * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "/" "test/a1/b1/c2" * LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "/" "test/a1/b2" b OK List completed. c list test/a1/b1/ * c OK List completed. d logout * BYE Logging out d OK Logout completed. but what I expect (and what I was getting with UW-IMAP) is more like: ... c list test/a1/b1/ * * LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "/" "test/a1/b1" * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "/" "test/a1/b1/c1" * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "/" "test/a1/b1/c2" c OK List completed. ... Is this is an expected behaviour? If so, is there any configuration I can change to make it behave as I want instead? -- Julian --- Lookie, lookie, here comes cookie... -- Stephen Sondheim

[Dovecot] typo caused dovecot-acl line 1: Unknown ACL ' '
by Adam McDougall 02 Mar '08

02 Mar '08

A co-worker edited a dovecot-acl file and accidently introduced a space at the end of a "user=username lrwstie" entry. Fortunately he noticed errors in his own mail client, but I'm not sure what may have happened to other users. Would it be possible to make dovecot more forgiving by ignoring whitespace at the end of ACLS to avoid this issue?

[Dovecot] nfs locking issues...
by John Gray 01 Mar '08

01 Mar '08

I'm running Dovecot 1.1 RC1. I believe I've done all the due diligence for making things working correctly over nfs. But I run into locking issues if I run over nfs. procmail is doing the delivery over nfs. uw-imap was ruining over nfs. dovecot is fine if its on the nfs server (i.e. it has local access to the disk, no nfs) I run into lock deadlocks if I run dovecot over nfs Users are directed to different servers, but a given users will always get the same server (at least until there's no activity for that user for over an hour). This only applies to when running dovecot over nfs. Everybody goes to the nfs server otherwise. Sometimes I can kill all the processes, remove the dot locks, and recover. Something I need to reboot the nfs server to recover. Let me give a run down of the particulars: All the mail is in mbox format. everybody runs linux with kernel 2.6.24.2 (any known nfs locking issues there?). delivery is done via procmail, its locking and dovecot's are both dotlock, fcntl. The nfs mount options are actimeo=3,hard,noatime,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,nfsvers=3 The clocks are in sync. Dovecot.conf: protocols = imap imaps pop3 pop3s login_greeting = imap ready. mail_location = mbox:~/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u mmap_disable = yes mail_nfs_storage = yes mail_nfs_index = yes protocol imap { } protocol pop3 { pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv } auth default { mechanisms = plain passdb pam { } userdb passwd { } user = root } dict { } plugin { } Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Dovecot] links causing dovecot endless search through user's homedirs
by Paul Letta 29 Feb '08

29 Feb '08

Hello, My user's imap folder locations are a mess. Some have them in /home/username/mail but a lot of them just have them in /home/username. So I need to have dovecot's base imapdir pointed directly at the user's homedirs. My problem now is that a lot of users have many links in their homedirs. Some even have circular links, such as: /home/username/foo/foo1/foo2/foo3/foo4 -> /home/username/foo/foo1 All these links are causing some dovecot imap process to endlessly search. An example of a strace of a running imap processes shows: stat64("/home/xxx//jlab/jlab/dev/tail/interp/radcor/results/fake/e94010/3RDTRY/interp/radcor/results/fake/e94010/3RDTRY/interp/radcor/resul ts/fake/e94010/3RDTRY/interp/radcor/results/fake/e94010/3RDTRY/interp/radcor/results/fake/e94010/3RDTRY/interp/radcor/results/fake/e94010/3RDT RY/interp/radcor/results/fake/e94010/3RDTRY/interp/radcor/results/fa ... and so on. Since I can't get a hold of my users and make them all put their imap folders in /home/username/mail and configure dovecot to just search there... Is there a way to tell dovecot to ignore links ?

[Dovecot] PATCH: compile dovecot-1.1.beta14 with gcc 2.95
by Sven Anderson 29 Feb '08

29 Feb '08

Hi, I patched dovecot-1.1.beta14 to compile under gcc 2.95. __builtin_expect and __attribute__((malloc)) are only available since gcc 3.0, and __builtin_types_compatible_p since 3.1. Also the flexible array members (char a[]) are not available for gcc 2.95. So I replaced them with zero-extent arrays (char a[0]), which should also work, but that is gcc specific. A general pointer (char* a) should work as well, I guess. I have attached a patch that fixes all this. It is for beta13 but also works on beta14. BTW.: There is a typo in src/login-common/main.c, it's equivalent, not equilevant.

[Dovecot] antispam plugin: crm114 mode:"antispam signature not found"
by Peter Renner 29 Feb '08

29 Feb '08

Hi there, I'm happily using dovecot, and today tried to integrate the antispam imap plugin to automatically train/inform the crm114 spam classifier when moving messages in and out of folder "SPAM" However, when i try to move a message to folder spam, my client (Thunderbirds) says: The current command did not succeed. The mail server responden: antispam signature not found. Checking the source i found in signature.c *signature_hdr = "X-DSPAM-Signature"; This appears to originate from the DSPAM support of the plugin and apparently doesn't find these header lines. When using crm114 to sort spam there is no special header line. (or i didn't turn it on. do i _have_ to?) how can i get that antispam plugin to work with crm114? I'm using dovecot-1.0.10 TIA Peter Renner

[Dovecot] Dovecot NFS Indexes and IMAP Migration
by Andy Dills 29 Feb '08

29 Feb '08

Hi there, After being extremely impressed from implementing it in some customer installations, I've decided to migrate our mail infrastructure to dovecot. Being able to have /bin/checkpassword support across the board for pop, imap, and smtp authentication, as well as being able to ditch stunnel for the SSL layer...where were you in 2001?!? :) I have two concerns, the first is about the proper index configuration in our environment, and the second is about the best way to migrate mailboxes. Some quick background: we've long been distributed, with an L4 switch up front and a Netapp in the back, Mysql for metadata. We have a cluster of several FreeBSD boxes doing filtering and maildir delivery (postfix/amavisd-new), and we have a server that users get sent to for pop/imap. If it's down, they get sent to one of the filter boxes instead. So, regarding the indexes: >From reading the docs, it appears I would not be able to use the dovecot LDA due to locking issues (bummer), and I should configure dovecot to store index files on a local disk of the primary pop/imap server rather than on the netapp. My first question would be, how much of a performance hit should I expect from having to update the indexes when mail is checked rather then when mail is delivered since I can't use the LDA? Is this a minor issue like I expect, or can it be something the user actually notices when checking mail? In a worst case scenario, if the pop/imap server is down, and another server is used, how long would it take to create an index for an account with a few hundered megs, several thousand messages? I'm wondering if, since I have plenty of overhead available on the netapp, I should just store the indexes there in case another server must be used. I'm basically looking for more information about the pros and cons of storing the indexes on the nfs volume in a situation where a single server would normally be providing pop/imap service. Regarding migration: My concerns regarding migration relate to how best to process existing maildirs by both converting the previous imap metadata and calculating an initial index for each account. First off, I can't seem to find any info on a way to create an initial index file for all of the mailboxes. Can anybody suggest a command I can use for this? I'm sure I just overlooked it. Regarding the migrations, we have both courier and bincimap to deal with. (We use qmail's pop, so no complications with migrating courier). Fortunately, courier is used for normal imap on 143, bincimap is only used for webmail. So, it would seem that metadata from bincimap could be ignored; the only thing it would seem important to preserve is mailbox subscriptions. Please correct this assumption if I'm wrong. bincimap uses a INBOX/folder format in the subscription file, however the actual folders are stored exactly the same as the INBOX.folder style of courier. So, it seems like my best option is to modify the courier-dovecot-migrate.pl script to consider the mailboxes subscribed to via bincimap. Here's a modified convert_subscriptions that seems to work well in limited testing, feel free to point out any idiot mistakes, it's been a while since I've done anything substantial in perl. I would have sent a patch but I suspect I'm the only person who will ever use this change and critiquing it would be easier with a full context. sub convert_subscriptions { my ($dir, $owner_uid, $owner_gid) = @_; my $in_fname = "$dir/courierimapsubscribed"; # ADDED: The bincimap file to parse my $in_fname2 = "$dir/.bincimap-subscribed"; my $out_fname = "$dir/subscriptions"; # MODIFIED: Return only if neither exist return if (!-f $in_fname && !-f $in_fname2); if (!$overwrite && -f $out_fname) { print "$out_fname already exists, not overwritten\n" if (!$quiet); return; } return if (!$do_conversion); my ($fin, $fin2, $fout); open ($fin, $in_fname) || die $!; open ($fin2, $in_fname2) || die $!; open ($fout, ">$out_fname") || die $!; # ADDED: An array to track mailboxes we've written in case both files exist my @subs; while (<$fin>) { chomp $_; if (/^INBOX$/i) { print $fout "INBOX\n"; push @subs, "INBOX\n"; } elsif (/^INBOX\.(.*)$/i) { print $fout "$1\n"; push @subs, "$1\n"; } else { # unknown. keep it as-is. print $fout "$_\n"; push @subs, "$_\n"; } } close $fin; # ADDED: A second loop, same as the first, but also checking to make # sure that the mailbox has not already been written to the new file to # eliminate duplicates. while (<$fin2>) { chomp $_; my $sub = $_; if (/^INBOX$/i && !grep (/^INBOX\n/i, @subs)) { print $fout "INBOX\n"; } elsif (/^INBOX\/(.*)$/i && !grep (/^$1\n/i, @subs)) { print $fout "$1\n"; } elsif (!grep(/^$sub\n/, @subs)) { # unknown. keep it as-is. print $fout "$sub\n"; } } close $fin; close $fin2; close $fout; chown $owner_uid, $owner_gid, $out_fname; } Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions!

[Dovecot] cram-md5 crashes passdb
by Vincent Régnard 29 Feb '08

29 Feb '08

Hi all, When setting auth mechanisms: plain login cram-md5 and only having pam passdb and passwd userdb. dovecot nevers starts and crashes reporting: Feb 29 10:19:41 pitux-clust-op1 dovecot: Dovecot v1.0.10 starting up Feb 29 10:19:41 pitux-clust-op1 dovecot: auth(default): CRAM-MD5 mechanism can't be supported with given passdbs Feb 29 10:19:41 pitux-clust-op1 dovecot: Auth process died too early - shutting down Feb 29 10:19:41 pitux-clust-op1 dovecot: child 24722 (auth) returned error 89 Removing crom-md5 from auth mechanisms solves the problem. Adding another passdb (like vpopmail) alsos solves the problem. Any clue ?

[Dovecot] imaptest update
by Timo Sirainen 29 Feb '08

29 Feb '08

I've finally added support for "normal" command/reply tests for my imaptest program (http://imapwiki.org/ImapTest) My plan is that imaptest will include some generic IMAP compliancy tests and Dovecot will include some more strict Dovecot-specific checks. "make dist" will run all these tests before building a tarball, so in future I shouldn't be able to release horribly broken versions. :) I haven't yet had time to implement all the features that I'd like (e.g. unordered list handling needs support), but I think the current features will allow testing quite a lot already. http://imapwiki.org/ImapTest/Tests explains how it works. There are currently two files: the actual test file and *.mbox file where the mails are appended from to the test mailbox. I'm going to also add *.conf file which allows specifying specific dovecot.conf settings. This way I can test all these different namespace (etc.) variations as well. A couple of examples to show what's possible: # Check that EXAMINE and STATUS return same UIDVALIDITY examine $mailbox * ok [uidvalidity $uidvalidity] ok [read-only] ok status $mailbox (uidvalidity) * status $mailbox (uidvalidity $uidvalidity) # Test EXPUNGE handling with 2 connections: connections: 2 1 ok fetch * uid * $seq fetch (uid $uid) 1 ok store $seq flags \deleted * $seq fetch (flags (\deleted \recent)) 1 ok expunge * $seq expunge 2 ok fetch $seq uid * $seq fetch (uid $uid) 2 ok noop * $seq expunge # LIST testing: state: auth ok list "" "" * list (\noselect) $sep "" # "" means that delete can return anything # (although restricting it to "ok" or "no" would be better) delete $mailbox${sep}test "" delete $mailbox${sep}test2 "" ok create $mailbox${sep}test ok create $mailbox${sep}test2 ok list "" $mailbox$sep% * list (\hasnochildren) $sep $mailbox${sep}test * list (\hasnochildren) $sep $mailbox${sep}test2

[Dovecot] "too little data" error still occurring in 1.0.10
by Mike Brown 28 Feb '08

28 Feb '08

Greetings- I'm running dovecot 1.0.10, but am seeing the "too little data" error that was supposedly fixed in 1.0.9. Not sure how long it's been going on. I have a straightforward mbox setup, and am using Thunderbird to check my inbox. It can't read the box. The log fills up with these messages: Feb 8 23:24:43 chilled dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<mike>, method=PLAIN, rip=##.##.##.##, lip=##.##.##.##, TLS Feb 8 23:24:43 chilled dovecot: IMAP(mike): FETCH for mailbox INBOX UID 1644 got too little data: 4254 vs 4262 Feb 8 23:24:43 chilled dovecot: IMAP(mike): Disconnected: Disconnected Let me know if there's more info needed. -Mike

[Dovecot] Optional Sieve includes
by Anders 27 Feb '08

27 Feb '08

I (think that I) want a global Sieve setup like this: require ["include"]; include :global "spam.sieve"; include :personal "folders.sieve"; include :personal "vacation.sieve"; ... that does not fail if a user has not created the personal filters. Any ideas how to do something like that? I read the source, but it seems that a failed include will exit the Sieve, so the above will not work.

Hi, I have: auth_cache_size = 4096 auth_cache_ttl = 3600 I use Thunderbird connecting to my Dovecot IMAP server 1.1rc1. I click on five folders and close Thunderbird.

[Dovecot] multiple ip and ssl
by Lampa 27 Feb '08

27 Feb '08

Hello, is possible in some way use on each ip address different certificate (for imap, for pop3). There are options like (but that is not enough for me): protocol imap { listen = *:10143 ssl_listen = *:10943 .. } protocol pop3 { listen = *:10100 .. } I have server for 4 domains (each has own ip address), so i need bind one ip address to one domain to one certificate(each certificate contains name of domain): domain1.tld (x.x.x.100) -> certificate domain1.tld.pem domain2.tld (x.x.x.101) -> certificate domain2.tld.pem domain3.tld (x.x.x.102) -> certificate domain3.tld.pem domain4.tld (x.x.x.103) -> certificate domain4.tld.pem Or i must run different instances of dovecot ? (using other config) ? Thank you for advices. -- Lampa

[Dovecot] Dovecot 1.0.10 <- IMAP -> Nokia N95 ?
by Patrick 27 Feb '08

27 Feb '08

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has IMAP working between Dovecot 1.0.10 and a Nokia N95 (8GB version with firmware 15.x.x.x)? I've been trying to make it work using a default Dovecot config but the N95 just hangs when updating the folder list which has a bunch of nested folders. So I made a new test user and started from there. That works but the moment I add a folder in Evolution and a subfolder in that one then the N95 seems to fall apart. In wireshark all I see are a bunch of TCP transmissions over and over from the Dovecot server to the N95 and the N95 just sits there. I also configured Dovecot with a basic private namespace but that did not make any difference: namespace private { separator = / prefix = location = maildir:/var/spool/mail/%u/ inbox = yes } Any tips much appreciated. Thanks and regards, Patrick

[Dovecot] Multiple password schemes
by Jan van den Berg 26 Feb '08

26 Feb '08

Hi, right now I have default_pass_scheme = MD5-CRYPT in my dovecot-sql-auth.conf file. This works; however I noticed because of history a lot of my users still have a CRYPT password (not a MD5-CRYPT password). Now I get these errors: dovecot: Feb 26 13:08:17 Info: auth-worker(default): sql(***, *******): MD5-CRYPT(0lifant) != 'i3/S6ZswGSfbk' Any way to make Dovecot use another (fallback) password scheme when the default scheme isn't working?

[Dovecot] dovecot 1.0 + postfix quota warning

Hello, I need to know how to make a quota warning message from Dovecot or Postfix. I'm using Dovecot 1.0.rc15 and Postfix 2.3.3. I didn't installed the quota-warning patch cause i read that it doesn't work with dovecot filesystem quotas (as i'm using). What else can i use for this? I wanna warn users when they reach ..let's say 90% of their quota by sending an e-mail to their address. I'm using maildir format.

[Dovecot] Crash on malformed ldap user_filter

I did a little too much copy/paste, and ended up with an ldap config file containing a line of the form user_filter = user_filter = (&objectClass=... (with "user_filter =" repeated).

[Dovecot] Redundant timers
by Anders 25 Feb '08

25 Feb '08

Hello. I am on an irrational crusade against unneeded timers (it started as a well-meaining power saving exercise), and I have now started removing polling in Dovecot. Attached is a patch with the work I did on this the other night. Would something like that be acceptable, or should I make it in a different way? There seems to be no one-shot timer support, right? Is there a Dovecot coding style document? (I did notice that there appears to be an 80 char width that I exceeded) Cheers, Anders

[Dovecot] Authentication using multiple password schemes
by hever＠web.de 25 Feb '08

25 Feb '08

Hi there, I tried to patch the actual Dovecot 1.1 rc1 with the http://dovecot.org/patches/1.1/auth-multi-password.diff. The patch doesn't work for this version and I don't want to get an old version. Is this patch perhaps in the 1.1 rc1version included? I'm not sure because I don't really know how it's to use. I thought about returning some password fields from a database. If not could someone provide a working patch ? I need this patch because I'm going to provide NTLM and CRAM-MD5 POP/IMAP authentication because Outlook doesn't support CRAM-MD5 as non-plaintext authentication and I don't want store plaintext passwords. _______________________________________________________________________ Jetzt neu!

[Dovecot] mbox with two storage locations
by Bill Pitz 25 Feb '08

25 Feb '08

Hello, I'm trying to migrate a legacy system to Dovecot in which I need to support mbox format storage with the following parameters: Inbox is in: /var/spool/mail/%u Additional mail folders are stored in: /var/spool/mail2/%u (i.e. Spam, Sent, Trash, Drafts, etc.) /var/spool/mail and /var/spool/mail2 are configured with the same permissions. (Read/write/execute user root, Read/write/execute group mail). I've added mail as an additional group in the Dovecot configuration. # dovecot --version 1.0.10 # 1.0.10: /etc/dovecot.conf ssl_cert_file: /etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key_file: /etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login first_valid_uid: 100 mail_extra_groups: mail mail_location: mbox:/var/spool/mail2/%u:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u:INDEX=MEMORY auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd The problem is what when I run this configuration, I am not able to see any of the contents of /var/spool/mail2. I ran around with this problem for a while and ultimately found that the following fixes it: cp -Rpfd /var/spool/mail2 /home Change Dovecot to use /home/mail2/%u instead: # 1.0.10: /etc/dovecot.conf ssl_cert_file: /etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key_file: /etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login first_valid_uid: 100 mail_extra_groups: mail mail_location: mbox:/home/mail2/%u:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u:INDEX=MEMORY auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd Further investigation revealed that no path outside of /home would work for the storage of the mbox directory. Any ideas? Everything seems to work great except for this one (pretty major) issue. Also, /home, /var, and / are separate filesystems. I'm not sure if that's playing into this or not (doesn't seem like it, since it seems to have no issue storing INBOX in /var/spool/mail). Thanks, -Bill

Re: [Dovecot] Dovecot Sieve scalability

Hi, What exactly do you mean with "deliver preps the index"? Dovecot itself preps/creates/alters the index, when retrieving mail; right? Or are you (probably) saying this is one more benefit of using 'deliver'. Anyone know of any 'deliver'/(dovecot) stresstests with regards to forking and threading of the deliver binary?

[Dovecot] Dovecot Sieve scalability
by Jan van den Berg 25 Feb '08

25 Feb '08

Hi, I just finished setting up a functional design with Dovecot+Sieve and it works like a charm. However I'm having serious doubts about the scalability of this. Here is part of a discussion we're having here: About Dovecot+Sieve. What happens here is that your MTA is configured to pass _all_ email to Dovecot which is configured as a LDA. In practice this means this in the Exim config: command = /usr/local/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/deliver So you call on a single binary "deliver". This binary then looks for a .dovecot.sieve file in the user maildir, _compiles_ it to .dovecot.sievec file, and than drops the mail according to the rules. Calling a single binary: that's isn't threaded, doesn't fork, and that has to compile a file (everytime?) it's called isn't scalable. Multiply this with 100 mails(calls) per second and this is bound for problems. The Dovecot/Sieve implementation is functional but not very elegant or robust. But this can be explained because Dovecot is build for _retrieving_ mail (imap/pop) and _not_ delivering mail. Any thoughts on this? Are there people out there with large Dovecot+Sieve implementations (100k+ users). Are there benchmarks available; how well does it perform under heavy load (mails/sec)? Cheers, Jan

[Dovecot] Update from 1.0.10 -> 1.1rc1 Inverted quota warning values?
by Ralf Hildebrandt 23 Feb '08

23 Feb '08

I used 1.0.10 with the quota-rewrite patch for v1.0. With that, I configured: quota_warning = storage=10%% /usr/local/scripts/quota-warning 90 quota_warning2 = storage=5%% /usr/local/scripts/quota-warning 95 quota_warning3 = storage=1%% /usr/local/scripts/quota-warning 99 with 1.1, the logic for the quota_warning entries changed (http://wiki.dovecot.org/Quota/New) quota_warning = storage=95%% /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh 95 quota_warning2 = storage=80%% /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh 80 Is that really correct (I admit, the new way is more intuitive to me). -- Ralf Hildebrandt (Ralf.Hildebrandt(a)charite.de) snickebo(a)charite.de Postfix - Einrichtung, Betrieb und Wartung Tel. +49 (0)30-450 570-155 http://www.arschkrebs.de "Java is, in many ways, C++--." - Michael Feldman.

[Dovecot] Maildir Subsystems
by Aaron Wiebe 23 Feb '08

23 Feb '08

Greetings - new to the list, so apologies of I'm asking questions that have been brought up before. I work for a large email provider, currently using qmail, vpopmail and courier-imap. We tend to make fairly regular customizations of the software, and if you folks have any knowledge of courier's code layout, you probably can understand why we hate working on it. Anyway, I am looking at the possibility of migrating to dovecot, after a quick review of the code layout. It is MUCH nicer to read. But I have a few specific questions: 1. We customize our maildir system fairly heavily, and I'm wondering where the maildir code is located. Specifically, anywhere the app actually does work on disk related to folders, mail content and quotas. While I have reviewed the code in brief, I thought it would be easier to poke this list to get pointed in the right direction. 2. Courier works quite well over NFS for us, and I'm curious why your documentation covers NFS more specifically. What aspects of the filesystem are normally used that don't translate easily to work over NFS? Do you use stuff like inotify or atimes? 3. If anyone has any suggestions on how to migrate tens of thousands of imap users from courier to dovecot in a few hour window, I'd like to hear them :) Thanks, Aaron Wiebe

[Dovecot] Put existing mails (in Maildir) through sieve filter?
by Andreas Ntaflos 22 Feb '08

22 Feb '08

Hello list, the scenario: A user has about 30k mails in his Maildir (all in INBOX) and needs to apply filtering. Provided he writes a working .dovecot.sieve script, is there a way to put all those already delivered mails through Dovecot's LDA and thus have the sieve filter rules applied? Or is there any other way to apply sieve rules to already delivered mails? TIA Andreas -- Andreas "daff" Ntaflos Vienna, Austria GPG Fingerprint: 6234 2E8E 5C81 C6CB E5EC 7E65 397C E2A8 090C A9B4

[Dovecot] Postfix on one host/Dovecot (mailboxes) on another - How?
by k bah 22 Feb '08

22 Feb '08

Hi, I'm using Dovecot 1.0.5 on OpenSUSE 10.3. I run postfix/amavis/clamav on one host, postfix uses LDAP to identify whether or not users exist. On this same machine I was running dovecot, so I used dovecot LDA on Postfix master.cf (as mentioned on http://heinous.org/wiki/Virtual_Domains,_Postfix,_Dovecot_LDA,_and_LDAP#Pos…) Now I want to run Dovecot on another machine, how should I configure postfix on that first machine? first machine: the domain my users know/use; webmail; postfix/amavis/clamav; mx record for domain all users have mail addresses; imapproxy (pointing to the second machine, where the imap server sits). second machine: just dovecot and user's mailboxes. (I need to keep this machine doing only this task, because of the load) Is there a way to do that just by adding a mailbox_transport to the first machine's postfix? thanks = Mobile (Volumetric) Concrete Mixers The innovative leader in the mobile concrete mixer industry.

[Dovecot] Deliver - Virtual users
by Tobias Balle-Petersen 22 Feb '08

22 Feb '08

Hello... I have dovecot 1.0.10 running with users in an LDAP database. Things are working as they should with IMAP. However, I can't seem to make deliver w. postfix work they way I want. My problems are: Mail to users who do not exist in LDAP or locally are accepted and mailfolders are created. I want mail to users that do not exist in LDAP or locally to be rejected. Mail is delivered to users even though they are over quota. Below I have included a bit of my log. This is what I see when sending a mail to an existing user. I don't understand the part that says: dovecot: auth(default): passwd(tbp(a)kontrapunkt.dk): lookup In my database users are stored as usernames without domains. Deliver seems to lookup the name with domain? The lookup ends with "unknown user". Then I wonder, why is the mail delivered if the user is unknown? I have included the "protocol lda" part from my dovecot.conf and the result of "dovecot -n". Can someone help me get this sorted out?

This way I'm the only one to see your post and I'm not sure that I can help. Also other users may benefit from your experience if it's available online. When you post to doveco(a)dovecot.org a copy is sent to me anyway. I'm not sure that I can help. I think you should check your permissions on the folder. And I think you should try with: fileinto "Junk"; Instead of: fileinto ".Junk"; (without the preceding dot that is) The preceding dot will automatically be added to the folder name by dovecot so it may create confusion if you use it too. Dovecot always uses the dot-prefix on folder names in the file system but this isn't really part of the IMAP/Sieve folder name that you wanna use. Regards, Mikkel

[Dovecot] verbose IMAP logging
by Robert Chien 22 Feb '08

22 Feb '08

Hi, Is there a way to enable telemetry or debug-level logging in Dovecot IMAP, to see the exact IMAP command issued by the client and server? E.g. to confirm if a certain MUA is indeed using IMAP IDLE, or if it's doing LIST or LSUB. The IMAP connection is made over TLS/SSL, so tcpdump won't work. Thanks, Robert

[Dovecot] Dovecot on CentOS5 - (login) returned error 127
by Tim Alberts 22 Feb '08

22 Feb '08

Running CentOS Linux 5 with sendmail-procmail putting email in /var/spool/mail. I'm running pop3 only with the servers configured to authenticate with ldap (which is configured and running OK). I do have this same configuration on an older FC6 box and it works fine. I'm thinking I just need to upgrade dovecot given all the nss_ldap problems it has had, but I hate not using RPM packages and CentOS does not have upgraded packages. Hardware is Dell PowerEdge 1900 (64bit) with 2G RAM. Hopefully I'm doing something stupid and there's an easy fix for the packages and configuration I have. I'm seeing the following in the /var/log/maillog when I run dovecot. When I log in via telnet, I get the connection, but it never responds when I enter a user.

[Dovecot] Dovecot User Script?
by David White 21 Feb '08

21 Feb '08

I am new to Dovecot. I have been using Postfix as a mail relay to our Exchange box and have been happy with the setup. The Linux box also runs Apache and VSFTPD for our WWW and FTP services. However, we are now starting up a new smaller domain. I am grabbed a spare box and have setup Fedora 7 on the machine. I am can handle apache, vsftpd, and postfix alright, but I am not familiar with dovecot. I need a simple setup of about 15-20 users. Instead of setting up each user through the terminal is there a PHP script that anyone would recommend? A setup of virtual users in mysql is preferred, since I already have that installed. I found a HOWTO on Howtoforge with ISPconfig, but it did not setup Dovecot. They forgot that setup. Any suggestions would be useful. Thanks! David White dwhite(a)fddisystems.com

[Dovecot] Dovecot imap bad quota report
by Carlos Acedo 21 Feb '08

21 Feb '08

Hello, I have dovecot mail server on a Debian etch: dovecot-common 1.0.10-1~bpo40+1 dovecot-imapd 1.0.10-1~bpo40+1 dovecot-pop3d 1.0.10-1~bpo40+1 It is configured with the quota plugins: protocol imap { mail_plugins = quota imap_quota imap_client_workarounds = outlook-idle } plugin { quota = fs } The problem is that I always get used space but not the limit, and the limit is not the same for all the users, I have tried from thunderbird and horde IMP from another server. Why is not reporting the quota limit? Oh, I'm using mbox for mail storage and the quota programm to set quotas Thank you, Carlos -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-isp-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

[Dovecot] corrupted index?
by Gary Funck 21 Feb '08

21 Feb '08

We're seeing the following sporadically in the log file (single line broken into separate lines for readability): Corrupted index cache file /home/user/mail/.index/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.cache: invalid record size We're running dovecot-1.0.7-2.fc8. The imap directory is in the user's NFS-mounted /home directory, but doveot is running on the same host as the /home filesystem. There's plenty of disk space and no other significant system problems. The mail index directory we rm'd a week/so ago, so doveoct has had the opportunity to rebuild it. Any ideas on what might be causing this? Is this issue anything to worry about? thanks.

[Dovecot] procmail deliver and envelope-to
by Klaus Ethgen 21 Feb '08

21 Feb '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, first of all, please reply private as I am not subscribed to the list. But if this question takes to much traffic I can subscribe. My problem is that I have to use procmail (as it can call external programs) which finally calls deliver. My main rules are sieve and they work find except that I cannot use subaddress matching in envelope to (not envelope send which has been addressed earlier). But As I use the '+'-Feature the envelope to will be the one interesting for me. For example, I am subscribed to the mailing list gimp-devel with klaus+gdev(a)ethgen.de. So I want to use: require ["fileinto", "imapflags", "subaddress", "envelope"]; ... if envelope :detail :is "To" "gdev" { fileinto "Mailinglisten.gimp-devel"; stop; } But if I call the deliver tool from procmail this will not work and the mail falls thought to the next matching rule or the implicit delivery. In the resulting mail, Envelope-to: is set correctly but no sorting. Is there any way to use the Envelope-to: header for this?

[Dovecot] dovecot: child 53439 (imap) killed with signal 11
by Adam McDougall 21 Feb '08

21 Feb '08

For quite some time I have seen dovecot imap exit with a sig11 without any other error message, but usually with the frequency of between once per week and once per day (per server). A few weeks ago I finally enabled core dumping with debug symbols and it seemed to happen less often. I finally caught a coredump that wasn't overwritten. I have no idea what on the client end may cause it, it has happened to myself too. dovecot 1.11b16 FreeBSD 6.3 amd64 Maildir on NFS # 1.1.beta16: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf ssl_cert_file: /usr/local/etc/apache22/ssl/mail.pem ssl_key_file: /usr/local/etc/apache22/ssl/mail.pem login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login mail_max_userip_connections: 25 verbose_proctitle: yes first_valid_uid: 1000 first_valid_gid: 1000 mail_extra_groups: postlocal mail_location: maildir:%h/Maildir:CONTROL=%h/Maildir/dovecot/private/control:INDEX=%h/Maildir/dovecot/private/indexes mmap_disable: yes mail_nfs_storage: yes mail_nfs_index: yes mail_drop_priv_before_exec: yes mail_plugins: acl fts fts_squat mail_log_max_lines_per_sec: 0 imap_client_workarounds: delay-newmail netscape-eoh tb-extra-mailbox-sep namespace: type: private separator: / inbox: yes list: yes subscriptions: yes namespace: type: private separator: / prefix: mail/ hidden: yes subscriptions: yes namespace: type: private separator: / prefix: Mail/ hidden: yes subscriptions: yes namespace: type: public separator: / prefix: #shared/decs/ location: maildir:/egr/mail/shared/decs:CONTROL=%h/Maildir/dovecot/public/control/decs:INDEX=%h/Maildir/dovecot/public/indexes/decs list: yes subscriptions: yes auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd args: system_user= socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 384 user: postfix group: postfix plugin: acl: vfile:/usr/local/etc/dovecot-acls:cache_secs=10 fts: squat # gdb /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap imap.53439.hill.core GNU gdb 6.1.1 [FreeBSD] Copyright 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

[Dovecot] Shared Mailbox
by c-schettner 20 Feb '08

20 Feb '08

Hi all, I am a very new dovecot user and I do not have many experience in Linux configuration. I use dovecot v1.0.rc.15 (Debian package) IMAP service with virtual domains and users in /home/vmail and everything runs perfectly. Now I want to share the "testfolder" under the mailbox of "user1" to all memebers of "example.net" but I don?t understand the wiki pages (http://wiki.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes) The ACL-plugin is on in dovecot.conf. my structure under /home/vmail -example.net --user1 ---/.drafts ---/.INBOX.testfolder ---/.Sent ---/.trash ---/Cur ........ --user2 --- (dito) -xxxx.de --user3 --user4 -test.com --user5 --user6 can anybody help with a configuration tip? Many thanks, Christian.

[Dovecot] 1.0.10 - Can deliver get quotas from users maildirsize?
by Tobias Balle-Petersen 20 Feb '08

20 Feb '08

Hello... I'm experimenting with controlling users quota by manipulation the maildirsize files in virtual users (LDAP) homedirs (Is this OK?). This works with IMAP, but deliver via postfix delivers mail to users even if they are over quota. I would like to reject new mails in this case. Any ideas? Thanks, Tobias

[Dovecot] warning: connect to transport dovecot: No such file or directory
by David Koski 19 Feb '08

19 Feb '08

I have installed postfix, dovecot, mysql as per: http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/DovecotLDAPostfixAdminMySQL ..on Debian Etch. I thought mailboxes were created by postfixadmin or postfix but I only get an error: warning: connect to transport dovecot: No such file or directory ..in the postfix log. No /var/vmail/example.com is created. After creating the domain directory and user directory, applying correct ownership, still it made no difference. I checked my main.cf: virtual_mailbox_base = /var/vmail Any clues? Thanks! David Koski david(a)kosmosisland.com

[Dovecot] 1.0.10 / Quota postlogin / Deliver - Not working according to the wiki?
by Tobias Balle-Petersen 19 Feb '08

19 Feb '08

Hello.... I load quotas from users homefolders using postlogin like this: ------------------------- #!/bin/sh # Read users quota if [ -f ~/quota ]; then export QUOTA=`cat ~/quota` fi # Start IMAP session exec /usr/lib/dovecot/imap ------------------------- User without a quota-file in their homedirs get a quota set in dovecot.conf. Im using LDA. According to the wiki this should not work: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Quota?highlight=quota : This post-login trick unfortunately doesn't work with deliver <http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA>. If you need it, you're pretty much out of luck for now. v1.1 *quota* <http://wiki.dovecot.org/Quota/New> makes this possible. According to my tests it does indeed work. What is not supposed to work?

[Dovecot] Duplicate Messages, Different X-UIDs?
by Joe Allesi -X (joallesi - Coyote Creek Consulting at Cisco) 19 Feb '08

19 Feb '08

We're running into an issue where sendmail is only receiving one e-mail, but after a client accesses the message via IMAP and moves it to another IMAP folder, the message duplicates but each message has different X-UID headers. Has anyone ever seen this type of anomaly before? Is it a bad IMAP client, or a known bug? Running 1.0.7 Thanks!

[Dovecot] Set up shared mailboxes for secretary-boss-relationship
by Steffen Kaiser 19 Feb '08

19 Feb '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, some users are to read other users mailboxes (secretary-boss relationship), in order to filter out minor issues, SPAM, appointment requests etc. pp. The "boss" wants to see/access his/her mailbox the usual way, no fancy stuff. Furthermore, this is a N:N relationship, meaning one user needs to read one set of user's mailboxes, another user needs to read another set of mailboxes; both may or may not overlap. My idle solution would be to create some name space or a special "shared" directory in the secretary's Maildir/home dir and symlink the Maildir of all the "boss"'s Maildir roots. Because only the "secretary" shall use/see the definition, I'm not to make one namespace per relationship, but predefine one namespace and issue the path via userdb, right? Does somebody has some setup of this sort running? Are there some differences in v1.1 in this aspect? Currently I've setup that the secretaries connect with the real account of the boss(es), what is not good in my eyes, the secretaries should use their own accounts accessing the mails.

[Dovecot] quota doesn't work?
by Mauro Sanna 19 Feb '08

19 Feb '08

I'm using dovecot 1.0.rc15 with debian etch. In dovecot.conf I have set mail_plugins = quota imap_quota for imap mail_plugins = quota for pop3 and quota = maildir:storage=10240. I seems that it doesn't work 'cause I send messages over 10M and it doesn't block my maildir box. I have to do something more?

[Dovecot] Passwordless Login Auth
by JL 19 Feb '08

19 Feb '08

I have Dovecot 1.0.5 running imaps successfully with Postfix on Ubuntu. Authorization is by SASL. Currently, my mail client (mutt) requests a password to access my folders. I would like to configure Dovecot so that a user logged into the localhost (i.e., already authenticated) does not receive the password prompt. Remote logins should of course demand the authentication, but if I'm logged into the server via SSH, for example, I'd like to be able to run mutt without the password prompt. Is this a viable proposition? Here is a relevant snippet from dovecot.conf: auth default { mechanisms = plain login passdb pam { } userdb passwd { } socket listen { client { path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode = 0660 user = postfix group = postfix } } } TIA -- JL <lists(a)jorge.cc>

Hi, this is sort of off topic but I'm using dovecot with postfix on centos 5 and I have multiple virtual domains and I want to be able to have virtual admin's add/remove mappings/users for their own domains. I have looked around and haven't found many solutions just wondering what everyone is using for virtual mail management. TIA, Paul

[Dovecot] dovecot 1.0.10
by Tim Judd 18 Feb '08

18 Feb '08

Hi everyone, I'm trying to get dovecot to authenticate against LDAP. And it's a first time to run both dovecot (at all) and OpenLDAP (at all). Versions are below. Dovecot: 1.0.10 OpenLDAP 2.3.40 Dovecot cannot bind to the dn. This may be due to the fact that all google-able documentation doesn't give good examples or anyhting to hint. I'd prefer to use the rootdn by slapd.conf, but if I have to use a entry in the LDAP database, I will do that. I've tried the rootdn, password, overriding password with the same hash as in the slapd.conf via {SSHA} and nothing works. I then tried to create a uid (and dn) within the LDAP database, and it can't bind to that either. Long story short, I would very much appreciate a working example with OpenLDAP v2.3x and Dovecot 1.0x, on a FreeBSD 6.x host. If it makes any difference (I don't think it does), the mailserver is going to be located within a jail, which has given some problems to some software that are looking for a specific /dev entry or being able to customize that entry (permissions, links, etc). Thank you all for excellent software, and I really hope I can get this working. I'd like to point the finger at dovecot not being able to read userPassword but since no debugging information can be extracted, I have to assume. A working example as I have asked for above would probably help me alot. thanks! --Tim If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door. "I can" is a way of life. More and Bigger is not always Better.

[Dovecot] ldaps support in dovecot-ldap.conf?
by Tim Tyler 18 Feb '08

18 Feb '08

Dovecot experts, Does Dovecot support ldaps:\\ connections in dovecot-ldap.conf for ldap connections? I can get regular ldap:\\connections to work, but not ldaps:\\ connections. I have even downloaded the latest beta version of dovecot and it still doesn't work. If its not supported, will it be in the near future? Note: We are using Centos 5 and Redhat 5 systems.

[Dovecot] PAM libraries not found
by Jan van den Berg 18 Feb '08

18 Feb '08

When I add the --with-pam option in my configure command I get the following error: checking for pam_start in -lpam... no configure: error: Can't build with PAM support: libpam not found PAM is most certainly installed on the machine: ii libpam-modules 0.79-5 Pluggable Authentication Modules for PAM ii libpam-runtime 0.79-5 Runtime support for the PAM library ii libpam0g 0.79-5 Pluggable Authentication Modules library Dovecot from package worked just fine with PAM. Also this file already exists: cat /etc/pam.d/dovecot #%PAM-1.0 @include common-auth @include common-account @include common-session I have run ldconfig etc. And I have the following files (all in /lib): /lib/libpamc.so.0 /lib/libpamc.so.0.79 /lib/libpam_misc.so.0 /lib/libpam_misc.so.0.79 /lib/libpam.so.0 /lib/libpam.so.0.79 So it seems that configure is not checking the right places for the libpam library? How can I tell it to look in /lib? Also what does (auto) mean (--with-pam (auto)): it's confusing. It gives the impression that, like (default), this option is added 'automatically'. Cheers, Jan

[Dovecot] stat failed: Not a directory

I have recently installed dovecot on a FreeBSD mailserver running postfix. But when I try to login with imap/pop3, I always get an error "stat failed: Not a directory". I guess it is something wrong with the mail format postfix uses to store the message, but I don't seem to find the correct solution.

[Dovecot] --without-linux-quota
by Heiko Schlichting 17 Feb '08

17 Feb '08

Hi, compiling dovecot 1.1.beta16 with configure option "--without-linux-quota" failed in line 444 of quota-fs.c as _LINUX_QUOTA_VERSION is an unquoted "no". Additionally using "--without-linux-quota" does not remove the quota code from dovecot as I expected. This is not a problem to me but it would be more clear if configure failed if "--without-linux-quota" is used and it is not possible to strip the quota code from dovecot. I know that I can use "--with-linux-quota=..." to specify a quota version but for me this option implied that it is possible to remove the filesystem quota code entirely if it is not needed.

[Dovecot] Dovecot pgsqlauthentication database reconnection/failover problem
by Frank Wang 17 Feb '08

17 Feb '08

Hi, Our mail system uses dovecot-1.0-1.2.rc15.el5 in Centos-5.1 as our imap server. It connects to a pgsql database in another server as authentication backend. It works fine except occasionally fails to reconnect to the database after temporary network block, and dovecot has to be restarted to work again in such case. Since I can't find any specific setting in dovecot.conf to handle this reconnection problem, I opt to build a failover pgsql backend. Google led me to http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2008-January/027899.html. I followed the thread to modify my dovecot-sql.conf containing "connect = host=pgsql1 host=pgsql2 dbname=xxxx user=xxxx" If both databases are available, dovecot will choose pgsql2 as the default one, and user login works flawlessly. But when I block all traffic to host pgsql2, dovecot will repeatedly try pgsql2 and neglect available host pgsql1. I don't find relevent information in the dovecot wiki either. Can anyone here shed a light on me? Thanks in advance! Regards, Frank Wang

[Dovecot] v1.1.beta16 released
by Timo Sirainen 16 Feb '08

16 Feb '08

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/beta/dovecot-1.1.beta16.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/beta/dovecot-1.1.beta16.tar.gz.sig If all goes well, I'll release v1.1.rc1 in a couple of days. Now's a good time to start testing v1.1 :) Changes since beta15: - Squat is finally working and supports expunging messages from it. I've been stress testing it and can't find any problems anymore. - Some index/cache crashfixes TODO for v1.1.0: - mbox: We write From_-lines to message bodies unescaped and assume Content-Length: header allows us to skip over them. This probably worked in v0.99, but got broken when mbox code was rewritten for v1.0. This should be fixed somehow. - dbox: fsync()ing isn't done for saved messages. - maildir: after rename()ing files from tmp/ to new/ we should probably fsync() the new/ directory. - Squat: NFS support. Check/fix a potential locking problem. - Lucene: It gives all kinds of locking errors which cause other problems. Maybe Dovecot should do the locking itself so Lucene never needs to wait for locks? Has anyone here used Lucene before and knows about these issues?

[Dovecot] [patch] make <chroot>/./<home> a config option.
by Diego Liziero 16 Feb '08

16 Feb '08

Hi, I think that the wu-ftp style chroot /./ should be a configurable option. In our servers we have some home directories in /chroot-web/./username (where web users can upload their web sites in a chrooted environment) and all imap mail in /mail-disk/username. We are planning a dovecot migration from our modified version of uw-imap and we noticed that the chroot in /chroot-web/ can't be disabled. This patch adds the bool option home_slash_dot_slash_chroot (feel free to change this name to something easier to understand). Setting this to "no" disables the wu-ftp style /./ chroot. I hope this feature can be considered useful and soon included in dovecot. Regards, Diego Liziero.

[Dovecot] dovecot rejecting auth after working a few times

[Dovecot] Best way to push Squat forward
by Asheesh Laroia 15 Feb '08

15 Feb '08

Timo, you mentioned you're getting tired of fighting Squat bugs lately. Does that mean you know all the bugs, and just need time to find and fix them? Or should instead I try harder to find bugs by using Dovecot 1.1 on a daily basis, and then sending you copies of mails that break it, like http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2007-October/026179.html ? -- Asheesh. -- Parting is such sweet sorrow. -William Shakespeare

[Dovecot] Apple Mail for 10.4/Shadow/SSL -> Problem.
by Phredd Groves 14 Feb '08

14 Feb '08

I have recently gotten Dovecot running on my Solaris 5.8 mail server in order to replace UW IMAP. I'm currently testing it out with mail clients popular amongst my users. It's been working very well, with one vital exception. Apple Mail on OS X 10.4 is not completing authentication (I don't think it's even getting that far). All I'm seeing in the syslog for attempts with Apple Mail (for both IMAP and POP3) is a single line per attempt: Jan 29 17:20:01 paradox dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.info] imap-login: Disconnected: rip=X.X.X.X, lip=Y.Y.Y.Y, TLS handshake This is even with verbose for auth and for SSL. I know syslog plays well with mail.warning and mail.debug and mail.notice, so I'm not quite sure what's going on there. Nothing shows up in authlog or messages either. The OS X 10.5 Apple mail client works just fine, as do Thunderbird and even Eudora. There did not seem to be any coverage of this when I googled and went through the dovecot archives, so I'm thinking it might be some weird interaction between that particular client and the SSL/shadow implementation in dovecot (Things work in UW IMAP for the client). Any suggestions? thanks! # /usr/local/sbin/dovecot -n # 1.0.10: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf protocols: imaps pop3s ssl_listen(default): *:997 ssl_listen(imap): *:997 ssl_listen(pop3): *:998 ssl_cert_file: /usr/local/ssl/certs/imapd.pem ssl_key_file: /usr/local/ssl/certs/imapd.pem verbose_ssl: yes shutdown_clients: no login_dir: /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login login_greeting_capability(default): no login_greeting_capability(imap): no login_greeting_capability(pop3): yes first_valid_uid: 100 mail_location: mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u mail_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3 imap_client_workarounds(default): outlook-idle delay-newmail tb-extra-mailbox-sep imap_client_workarounds(imap): outlook-idle delay-newmail tb-extra-mailbox-sep imap_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-idle pop3_uidl_format(default): pop3_uidl_format(imap): pop3_uidl_format(pop3): %08Xv%08Xu pop3_client_workarounds(default): pop3_client_workarounds(imap): pop3_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh auth default: verbose: yes passdb: driver: shadow userdb: driver: passwd Phredd Groves -- Systems Administrator Psychology Department Columbia University [212] 854-8167

[Dovecot] ManageSieve v0.10.0 released for Dovecot 1.1.beta15
by Stephan Bosch 14 Feb '08

14 Feb '08

Hello Dovecot users, I finally managed to upgrade the ManageSieve implementation to dovecot-1.1. This also resulted in major restructuring of the code. The actual ManageSieve implementation is now available as a separate package and the patch now only contains the changes to the dovecot-1.1 tree that are necessary to use the ManageSieve service. The patch and the new package no longer contain another copy of the CMU Sieve code; the package depends on dovecot-sieve-1.1 for the sieve implementation. Change Log v0.10.0 ------------------- (Changed version scheme from vY to vX.Y.Z) * Upgraded to Dovecot 1.1: - The actual managesieve implementation is now a separate package. The dovecot tree still needs to be patched though to make dovecot recognize the new managesieve service. - Incorporated changes to imap/imap-login into the equivalent managesieve processes. - Removed cmusieve implementation from managesieve sources. It is now linked externally from the dovecot-sieve-1.1 package. - Restructured README.managesieve file into separate README, NEWS, TODO, DESIGN and INSTALL files. * Added support for new libsieve implementation (to be released). This package can be compiled with either the new or the old Sieve implementation (autodetected). If the new Sieve becomes stable, this package will be merged with it to make a single package for Dovecot Sieve support. Installation ------------ Patch your dovecot-1.1.beta15 source tree with the following patch: http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.1/dovecot-1.1.beta15-managesieve-0.10.0.d… The patched Dovecot can be compiled and installed as usual. Download and unpack the dovecot-1.1-managesieve package: http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.1/dovecot-1.1-managesieve-0.10.0.tar.gz The README and INSTALL files therein should provide enough information to build, install and configure the ManageSieve service. After patching, your Dovecot source tree contains an updated dovecot-example.conf with a configuration example. The documentation is still pretty sparse however, but I intend to build a wiki page in the near future. Have fun testing the Dovecot ManageSieve service. Don't hesitate to notify me when there are problems. Regards, -- Stephan Bosch stephan(a)rename-it.nl IRC: Freenode, #dovecot, S[r]us

When I send a mail the script is not compiled (no .dovecot.sievec) and so not executed. An idea ? A question : how can I specify the home directory in dovecot.conf ? Regards.

[Dovecot] How to log uid and keywords of delivered mail?
by Ron Avriel 13 Feb '08

13 Feb '08

Hi, I’d like to extend the mail_log plugin to log the uid and keywords of a mail delivered by LDA. The keywords are set by the sieve plugin. I added a mail_log_save_finish() function hook listed below. However, the uid of the mail is always zero and trying to get the keywords results in assertion failure, probably because the message is not committed yet: Feb 13 08:07:42 ha-test1 deliver(test1(a)example.com): dest mail seq: 23, uid: 0 Feb 13 08:07:42 ha-test1 deliver(test1(a)example.com): file mail-index-view.c: line 217 (_view_lookup_full): assertion failed: (seq > 0 && seq <= mail_index_view_get_messages_count(view)) Feb 13 08:07:42 ha-test1 deliver(test1(a)example.com): Raw backtrace: /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver(i_syslog_panic_handler+0x21) [0x80965d9] -> /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver [0x8096443] -> /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver [0x80821d0] -> /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver [0x80827c3] -> /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver(mail_index_lookup_keywords+0x32) [0x8082aae] -> /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver(index_mail_get_keywords+0x6c) [0x806f038] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lda/lib20_mail_log_plugin.so [0xcbdac8] -> /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver(mail_storage_copy+0xa8) [0x808a600] -> /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver(maildir_copy+0x3e) [0x805e252] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lda/lib10_quota_plugin.so [0xfc9741] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lda/lib20_mail_log_plugin.so [0xcbd48f] -> /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver(deliver_save+0x192) [0x80559ea] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lda/lib90_cmusieve_plugin.so [0xaa16bf] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lda/lib90_cmusieve_plugin.so [0xaaea0d] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lda/lib9 static int mail_log_save_finish(struct mail_save_context *ctx, struct mail *dest_mail) { struct mail_log_mailbox *lbox = MAIL_LOG_CONTEXT(ctx->transaction->box); int ret; ret = lbox->super.save_finish(ctx, dest_mail); if (ret < 0) { return ret; } if (dest_mail != NULL) { const char *const *kw_list; i_info("dest mail seq: %u, uid: %u", dest_mail->seq, dest_mail->uid); kw_list = mail_get_keywords(dest_mail); i_info("dest mail kw: %s", kw_list ? t_strarray_join(kw_list, ",") : "NONE"); } return ret; } Some mail data, such as flags and headers, can be retrieved OK. I'm using dovecot-1.0.10 and dovecot-sieve-1.0.2. Any help in getting the uid and keywords by mail_log plugin will be greatly appreciated.

[Dovecot] ACLs - what's the state of play?
by Mike Brudenell 13 Feb '08

13 Feb '08

Greetings - Could someone help me understand what the latest situation id with regard to ACLs and sharing mailboxes, please? Currently we are using Dovecot 1.0.x but will be moving to 1.1 when it comes out of Beta (and hopefully I'll get some time before too long to try building a test setup to play with). So I'm happy to talk only about ACLs and sharing mailboxes in 1.1... We are using Maildir storage format, and separate areas for each of the Control and Index files. We are using real system users with filestore quotas. Currently each user's files and directories are owner by their own uid and gid (but we can change this if need be), and are set to disallow filestore-level access to "group" or "others" (but we can change this too if need be). We need to know (quite urgently) if the following is/will be possible with 1.1: * Can person A have some (a subset) of their folders accessible by others? If so, can this be Read-Only? can it be Read-Write? * Can person A have all of their currently existing folders accessible by others, along with any folders they create in the future? * Is there support for the IMAP ACL extension, enabling users to set and manage access rights themselves from their mail client? * If system username "abc1" has made their top-level folder "Project" accessible by system username "def2", how does def2 actually specify the folder in order to open it? I have rummaged through the archives and Wiki but mostly these still talk about the magical "dovecot-shared" and "dovecot-acl" files, and how these need to be created/maintained by the system administrator. What we're hoping for is the Holy Grail of: * a Manager wanting to give their Secretary read-write (or in some cases read-only) access to some or all of their folders; * a Project Team wanting to access a common set of mail folders; * etc Under the old UW IMAP server you would authenticate as yourself, then specify someone else's folder with something like (the memory is hazy on this now): ~abc1/Project In the Dovecot Wiki I read a lot about namespaces and so on, but can't seem to piece together in my mind what these actually *look* like to the end-user wanting to access someone else's shared mailbox. Nor what can be done by the end-users, and what has to be done by the system administrator. Can anyone offer me advice, please?

[Dovecot] Plus sign in usernames: user+domain.com?
by hoZt 12 Feb '08

12 Feb '08

I am migrating from a cpanel server that has usernames in the format "user+domain.com". On the new server I am using the format "user.domain.com" and it all works perfectly with dovecot / postfix. Is there any way that I can allow users to login either with the "." or "+" delimiter? Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

[Dovecot] merging Maildir from old machine to new machine
by Larry Vaden 12 Feb '08

12 Feb '08

Dovecot version 1.0.rc26. Situation is essentially a forklift upgrade to make more horsepower available for email. Given a new mail store using Postfix and Dovecot (Maildir), is it possible to transfer from the old mail box (running the same config) or will this generate problems with the various indices maintained by Dovecot? Kind regards and thanks/ldv Larry Vaden Internet Texoma, Inc.

[Dovecot] v1.1.beta15 released
by Timo Sirainen 11 Feb '08

11 Feb '08

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/beta/dovecot-1.1.beta15.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/beta/dovecot-1.1.beta15.tar.gz.sig It's been a while since the previous beta, so I guess it's time for a new release. I wanted this one to be called v1.1.rc1, but Squat indexes still aren't completely working. My simple tests seem to work OK, but after doing some random appends+searches+expunges with imaptest it's giving too few results when searching. I'm getting a bit tired of fixing the Squat code (although it's nearly done, finally..), so I'll most likely soon copy the current dovecot hg repository to dovecot-1.1 and start adding new features to the main dovecot repository for upcoming v1.2. The new features to be most likely implemented first are: - Mailbox list indexes - Thread indexes - Virtual mailboxes Some of the most important changes in beta15: - If dovecot master kills itself, the error message is now written to a file in base_dir as well as to log file. When Dovecot starts the next time it shows this error message to user and asks to look into error log file. I'm hoping this will reduce "why dovecot exits silently after starting it?" questions. - LDAP: Added tls_* settings for using TLS with OpenLDAP. - POP3-only users shouldn't get dovecot.index.cache files created anymore when quota plugin is used - Fixed/optimized handling pipelined commands - rawlog: added -b parameter to log packet boundaries. - auth: %a and %b were broken

[Dovecot] Dovecot auth-master socket as postfix table lookup source.
by Uldis Pakuls 11 Feb '08

11 Feb '08

Hi all. Intro: Timo has already done great job providing patch which allows postfix to authenticate directly against dovecot (included in latest postfix sorce code/release). Now I'm looking around for one more thing. I want to use dovecot's user db as source for postfix lookup tables. In particular: virtual_mailbox_maps Main reason is - postfix access rules and fighting against spam. This will allow to look up dovecot dovecot's user-db and check status of user. If user not exist mail is rejected at SMTP protocol level (instead of accepting mail and later getting bounce for dovecot's deliver). Rules I use looks like: smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated, permit_auth_destination, reject Of course I can write simple script which duplicates dovect's user-db information in format usable by postfix's postmap (this is way in all may mail systems works now). What I want is implement lookups directly against dovecot. Such table can be used for postfix virtual deliver too. It seems implement Dovecot authentication protocol for use in postfix table lookup mechanism is relative easy. Also there is no need to patch complete postfix source code. Postfix allow to create pugins (external dynamically loadable libraries) for such task. recent postfix source code already includes such plugins for mysql, ldap etc.. My question is - my be some one has already made such plugin or my be someone is interested to cooperate in such job. [my be Timo itsef?:))] Uldis

[Dovecot] OT: Skins for Squirrelmail - looking for a reminder
by Mike Brudenell 09 Feb '08

09 Feb '08

Greetings - On one of the mailing lists I'm on there was a recent-ish discussion about webmail clients, and someone mentioned a site selling sets of skins for SquirrelMail... the entire set was about $300. I'm trying to track down the site but seem to have deleted the message I'd carefully been keeping. I recall an off-topic discussion along these lines here recently, but can't locate anything about skins in the archives. Can anyone recall this? Or am I mis-remembering it as being here on this list? Confused, but then it is Friday... :-) Cheers, Mike B-) -- The Computing Service, University of York, Heslington, York Yo10 5DD, UK Tel:+44-1904-433811 FAX:+44-1904-433740 * Unsolicited commercial e-mail is NOT welcome at this e-mail address. *

[Dovecot] replacement for IMAP_EMPTYTRASH=Trash:7
by Rody 08 Feb '08

08 Feb '08

While running dovecot on debian etch using version 1.0.rc15-2etch3, i wonder the following: If i read the config files correctly, dovecot seems to have no equivalent of courier's IMAP_EMPTYTRASH=Trash:7 setting. Therefore, i wrote a script that dives into the user's directories and their maildirs. It looks like this: ============================================= #!/bin/bash for pad1 in $(ls /home) do if [ -e "/home/$pad1/Maildir/.Prullenbak" ] then find "/home/$pad1/Maildir/.Prullenbak/cur" -mtime +2 -type f -delete find "/home/$pad1/Maildir/.Prullenbak/new" -mtime +2 -type f -delete fi if [ -e "/home/$pad1/Maildir/.Allerlei.Spam" ] then find "/home/$pad1/Maildir/.Allerlei.Spam/cur" -mtime +2 -type f -delete find "/home/$pad1/Maildir/.Allerlei.Spam/new" -mtime +2 -type f -delete fi done ============================================ Now, can i just put a script like this in /etc/hourly or do i have to add things like stopping the dovecot deamon (i sure hope not!) in order to prevent file-corruption? Or has dovecot in the meantime got a config option that does this just like courier does? Rody

[Dovecot] location of .subscriptions
by Jochen 08 Feb '08

08 Feb '08

Hello, I just installed dovecot (1.0.10) to replace UW-IMAP. So far almost everything works. But I need shared folders (mbox format). I hope I've set up everything but when a user subscribes to one of the shared folders a file .subscriptions with perm 600 is created in the parent directory of the shared mailboxes ("namespace public" below). As I understand the docs that file should go to the user's home directory, right? What did I wrong? Thank you in advance. Here is my dovecot.conf (comments and blank lines stripped): ---- snip ---- protocols = imap imaps pop3 disable_plaintext_auth = no ssl_disable = yes mail_location = mbox:~/mbox:INBOX=/var/mail/%u:INDEX=/var/mailindexes/%u namespace private { inbox = yes } namespace public { prefix = Public/ location = mbox:/var/spool/imap:INDEX=/var/mailindexes hidden = no } mail_full_filesystem_access = yes mbox_read_locks = fcntl mbox_write_locks = fcntl protocol imap { } protocol pop3 { pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv } protocol lda { } auth default { mechanisms = plain passdb shadow { } userdb passwd { } user = root } dict { } plugin { } ---- snip ---- --

[Dovecot] Thunderbird can't see a maildir named .Inbox (yeah I know, poor name)
by Adam McDougall 08 Feb '08

08 Feb '08

I discovered by chance while migrating some user email to dovecot, one of them had a mailbox called "Inbox" and my script migrated it to a Maildir called .Inbox but Thunderbird could not see it at all, even in subscription lists. I tested with my account and it looks like mutt CAN see it. This seems like a client issue so I'll just make my migration script rename anything called Inbox to avoid it, but I thought I would send a note incase anyone else trips on it.

[Dovecot] Editing sieve scripts via webmail?

Hello... I have dovecot 1.0.10 running with the sieve plugin and virtual users (LDAP). My webmail is squirrelmail. I want to allow the users to create sieve-scripts via a squirrelmail-plugin.

[Dovecot] Static list of users with passdb pam
by Koen Vermeer 07 Feb '08

07 Feb '08

Hi, On my system, I want to provide imap access for some of the users listed in /etc/passwd. The list of users should be provided by me, and should just be a list in a text file. All the userdb options are static (uid, gid, home directory). Unfortunately, I cannot think of a way to configure Dovecot to do this. The closest I get is with: passdb pam {} userdb passwd-file { args = /path/to/passwd-file } However, the passwd-file is now more complex than it really needs to be, as it includes fields for password, uid, gid and home directory as well. Is there some way to handle this? Or am I trying to do something stupid? Thanks! Koen

[Dovecot] Doubt on adding support for new mailbox format
by Armando Adami Zaro 07 Feb '08

07 Feb '08

Hi! I'm starting to read and play with dovecot since a month ago. But my mailboxes' format is hashdir, which has been implemented here by my team. Here: http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat I've noticed that "Adding support for new formats for Dovecot isn't very difficult, although it can be time consuming. Dovecot exposes a nice and simple API which needs to be implemented" But I couldn't find that API. I've read the documentation so many times but have not found. Can you help me? Thanks a lot! -- Armando Adami Zaro Canopus Informática Ltda Porto Alegre - RS - Brasil +55 51 3062-2404

[Dovecot] Convert plugin question
by Dmitry Filonov 06 Feb '08

06 Feb '08

Hi, Is it possible to change convert plugin, so it would keep old UIDVALIDITY and UIDNEXT after conversion from mbox to Maildir? As far as I can tell, this shouldn't be a big problem as this information already exists in the mbox. Well, at least for mboxes, that have that information. The problem is easy, if UIDVALIDITY changes during conversion, then client has to reload whole mailbox from the server. And this is not easy for users with 5+ Gb of mail. Thanks, FiL

[Dovecot] Sieve
by Fred Newtz 06 Feb '08

06 Feb '08

Alright, so I know I need to get sieve installed. Seems fairly easy to make happen. However, in the documentation it tells me to find dovecot-config and supply that directory into the --with-dovecot= configuration option. For some reason I do not have that file on my machine. I have used find / -name 'dovecot-config' to search for it and it is not there. Is it going to be a problem that the file is not on my machine? Thanks, Fred

[Dovecot] LDA postfix + deliver, problem lookup, accepting email for everyone
by Sylvain Viart 06 Feb '08

06 Feb '08

Hi, I'm setting up dovecot pop3 deamon for a small set of mailbox. I want to be able to set a small set of mailbox simply, so I've used "passdb passwd-file" + virtual mailboxes with "userdb static". My problem is that it seems that postfix accept and create mailbox for every address I post. It is configured to use local delivery through dovecot's deliver. How do I force deliver to retrun an error if the destination is not defined in the passwd-file? The doc said that "userdb static" should do a lookup automatically. But no luke for me. Is it really a deliver problem, or a postfix configuration problem? Any, hint?

[Dovecot] High availability strategies?
by Ed W 06 Feb '08

06 Feb '08

Anyone here trying any "high availability" strategies for mail servers? (Ralph what do you do?) I am reading up a little on DRBD + OCFS for a master/master setup but this doesn't seem to address how to avoid having a single master proxy process (assuming that we are running on rented equip and don't have ability to shift IP addresses around servers). It appears to be possible to play games with DNS and short expiries, but this causes extra DNS traffic for the general case when we are up and running? We had some bad ram in a server recently and it's the worst possible situation. Server locking up, downtime, but it's not easy to repro and fix... (only happens every few days. Memcheck found nothing...) How could we redesign our setup to be resilient against this? (How does Google or Yahoo do it?) For reference I am using vservers to host dovecot and this is working very nicely and makes it real simple to chuck the config onto another host and test things (upgrades, etc). Highly recommended. Any suggestions (from people who have tried stuff)? Cheers Ed W

[Dovecot] IMAP quotas - Reasonable size?
by Tobias Balle-Petersen 05 Feb '08

05 Feb '08

Hello... I'm setting up dovecot (IMAP only) at an ad-agency (Lots of big files attached to mails). I'm wondering... What would you consider to be reasonable mail quota? My concern is, that some client-software will have problems with huge mailboxes. I was going to give everyone 2GB, but some users demand 15GB+. Does dovecot "prefer" mailboxes within a certain size? Looking forward to hear your thoughts on the subject. Thanks, Tobias Balle-Petersen

[Dovecot] Quota + MySQL

[Dovecot] NULL for password and proxy fields
by bill-dovecot＠carpenter.ORG 04 Feb '08

04 Feb '08

In the course of experimenting with getting dovecot proxying to work, I took a guess at two things. These work fine for me, but now I'm wondering if they are "as designed" or just a lucky accident that might stop working in the future. (I'm using dovecot 1.0.rc17, which is the included version in Ubuntu Feisty. (I am aware that some details change in v1.1, and I'm not worried about that right now.) http://wiki.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase/ExtraFields/Proxy 1. The wiki page says about password forwarding, "Make sure that the authentication succeeds with any given password. You can do this by using empty passwords." I didn't know exactly now to interpret that last part, so I tried returning NULL as the value of the "password" field for proxy cases. That seems to make dovecot skip the password check will forwarding the user-submitted password to the proxy target host. Is that the intent of that part of that wiki page? 2. It looks like any value at all for the "proxy" field in the passdb lookup turns proxying on. The one exception is a value of NULL for "proxy", in which case proxying is not turned on and proxy-related other fields are ignored. Is that how it's intended to work? If someone can give and informend confirmation that this is as-designed, I can add some clarifying remarks on those points on the wiki page. Thanks. -- bill-dovecot(a)carpenter.ORG (WJCarpenter) PGP 0x91865119 38 95 1B 69 C9 C6 3D 25 73 46 32 04 69 D6 ED F3

[Dovecot] appending domain based on port
by Eric Hester 04 Feb '08

04 Feb '08

I am looking for a way to append a domain to unqualified user names based on the port that the client connected to. Like this: port 9110 - @test.com port 9111 - @other.com port 9112 - @third.com it looks like auth-default-realm does this, but you can only specify it once for the whole process. I know I could do this by running a separate copy of dovecot attached to each port in question, but I would like to do it all in one process if possible. Other questions I have, if I use the auth-default-realm: 1) does it happen before auth lookup I assume? 2) do I have to define the domain i use here as an auth-realm in addition to default?

[Dovecot] Postfix, mailbox_command, Dovecot deliver, LDAP and mail_location
by Patrick Ben Koetter 02 Feb '08

02 Feb '08

I am trying to tell Dovecot deliver to use $mail_location as the location to store mail for system users. From the docs I've read <http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailLocation> I believe this is possible, but mail to my system users always gets delivered to their /home/<USERNAME> homedirectory. Here's what I've done so far: # Postfix main.cf mailbox_command = /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver # Dovecot # dovecot-ldap.conf user_attrs = mailHomeDirectory=home,mailUidNumber=uid,mailGidNumber=gid,mailQuota=quota=maildir:storage,mail=mailHomeDirectory Above you can see, I query for $mail as documented in <http://wiki.dovecot.org/UserDatabase>. # dovecot.conf # dovecot -n # 1.0.5: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: imap imaps pop3 pop3s ssl_cert_file: /etc/ssl/mail.state-of-mind.de.crt ssl_key_file: /etc/ssl/private/mail.state-of-mind.de.key disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-login login_greeting_capability(default): yes login_greeting_capability(imap): yes login_greeting_capability(pop3): no mail_extra_groups: mail mail_location: maildir:~ mail_debug: yes maildir_copy_with_hardlinks: yes mail_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugins(default): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(imap): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(pop3): quota mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/pop3 imap_client_workarounds(default): outlook-idle netscape-eoh delay-newmail imap_client_workarounds(imap): outlook-idle netscape-eoh delay-newmail imap_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-idle pop3_uidl_format(default): pop3_uidl_format(imap): pop3_uidl_format(pop3): %08Xu%08Xv pop3_client_workarounds(default): pop3_client_workarounds(imap): pop3_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh auth default: mechanisms: plain login digest-md5 cram-md5 ntlm passdb: driver: ldap args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf userdb: driver: ldap args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf socket: type: listen master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 user: virtual group: virtual What am I missing?

[Dovecot] Dovecot, LDAP and something akin to Postfix' "table search order" from virtual deliver.
by Pawel Sawicki 01 Feb '08

01 Feb '08

Hi. /* The short version. */ Is there a way to mimic Postfix' "table search order" in Dovecot's LDAP configuration of pass_filter/user_filter? /* Here goes the detailed description :) */ Just to quote the http://www.postfix.org/virtual.8.html: --- TABLE SEARCH ORDER (...) The search order is as follows. The search stops upon the first successful lookup. (...) o The user(a)domain.tld address, without address exten- sion, is looked up next. o Finally, the recipient @domain is looked up. --- Basicaly this allows to have separate users assigned addresses like j.doe(a)example.com (first account), j.smith(a)example.com (second account) and at the same time to have a "catch all" anything(a)example.com mailbox (for the administrator e.g.). What do I need it for? To have dovecot-lda working. Why? I want Sieve :) The test data may look as follows: account #1: + mail: j.doe(a)example.com + mailAlternateAddress: j.c.doe(a)example.com account #2: + mail: j.smith(a)example.com + mailAlternateAddress: j.t.smith(a)example.com account #3 (administrator): + mail: bofh(a)example.com + mailAlternateAddress: @example.com (means - anything possible) The filter I used is (more or less - for both pass_filter and user_filter): (|(mail=%u)(mailAlternateAddress=%u)(mailAlternateAddress=@%d)) Just for testing purposes I've stripped off some irrelevant data (like checking if the account is active), since that made the filter about 140 characters long ;) The trouble is when there're both a "catch all" and a true account that are linked to different accounts. As an example, if I try to send mail to "j.doe(a)example.com" I receive: dovecot: auth(default): ldap(j.doe(a)example.com): Multiple replies found for user Which is of course true, since the filter returns "account #2" and "account #3". What I'd like to get? I'd like to set the filter to: (|(mail=%u)(mailAlternateAddress=%u)) Where "%u" is expanded to "j.doe(a)example.com" during the first run Then, if dovecot can't find any user that would match this literaly it should retry the search operation, but now with "@example.com" as the "%u". I've tried to fiddle with the filter itself, but I see any reasonable way of doing it. I don't even know if it is possible at all. Could anyone give me a hint? Or maybe it's already on someone's whish list? Some final info. * I've followed the examples on dovecot.org website: http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA#head-dacb9b9a1f19c3ea86bb6f8caa3d64e3ddad9ef8 * Here's the dovecot's master.conf entry: dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=mail:mail argv=/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d ${recipient} Best regards!

[Dovecot] Gnus and dovecot time out
by Richard G Riley 31 Jan '08

31 Jan '08

Could someone suggest what the solution here is? Dovecot is terminating the connection to Gnus after a certain period of activity. It's my own mail server so no need to worry about "hogging resources". Should/could Dovecot be configured to keep the connection alive, or should Gnus be programmed to automatically reopen the conneection? The current problem that one can not leave an IMAP group if the connection is cut by the server. Here is the text posted and replied to on the gnus usenet: ,---- | I have the same problem as the article I link and reproduce below. Is | there a way to get Gnus to keep an IMAP session open without using a | daemon to check for all new messages regularly? | | http://osdir.com/ml/emacs.gnus.user/2006-02/msg00133.html | | ,---- | | Subject: Gnus closing imap connection | | List-id: "Announcements and discussions for GNUS, the GNU Emacs Usenet newsreader $in English$" <info-gnus-english.gnu.org> | | | | My IMAP connection closes and Gnus does not reopen it.

[Dovecot] Multiple copies of a message
by Anne Wilson 31 Jan '08

31 Jan '08

I have a problem and I don't know which part of the mail chain could be causing it, although dovecot does seem to be the most logical source. I get multiple copies of messages to my Inbox. I have just deleted 24 copies of a newsletter from Computer Shopper. The worst example I have seen of this had more than 90 copies. This doesn't happen to any subfolder of Inbox, just Inbox itself. The problem started about 10-14 days ago, on the old mail server (running Mandriva 2007.1). The new server runs CentOS and exhibits the same problem. I'd be interested in any comments, as my efforts to track it down have got nowhere. Anne

[Dovecot] Rename file opened for read-write -- cannot edit subscriptions
by Jack Schmidt 31 Jan '08

31 Jan '08

Howdy, Here is a problem with fix affecting dovecot-1.0.10 (and 1.1rc13). On a linux system's CIFS mounted filesystem, it is not possible to rename a file opened read-write: $ sleep 5 >> .subscriptions.lock & mv .subscriptions.lock .subscriptions mv: cannot move `.subscriptions.lock' to `.subscriptions': Text file busy This causes problems in editing subscriptions, as the new subscription list is still open for writing before it is renamed in: lib-storage/subscription-file/subscription-file.c line 169 in dovecot version 1.0.10 (and 1.1rc13) This is an unpatched linux 2.6.21-5, CIFS mounted filesystem from a windows 2003 sp2 server. The documentation for rename(2) indicates that it is allowed to return an error when the file is already opened, so perhaps the file should be closed before the replace. Should this be done in file_dotlock_replace (before line 672) generally? Here is a patch that does so: diff -rw -U3 dovecot-1.0.10/src/lib/file-dotlock.c dovecot-1.0.10-patch/src/lib/file-dotlock.c --- dovecot-1.0.10/src/lib/file-dotlock.c 2007-12-11 13:52:08.000000000 -0500 +++ dovecot-1.0.10/src/lib/file-dotlock.c 2008-01-23 08:53:33.000000000 -0500 @@ -635,7 +635,7 @@ struct dotlock *dotlock; struct stat st, st2; const char *lock_path; - int fd; + int fd, old_errno; dotlock = *dotlock_p; *dotlock_p = NULL; @@ -669,6 +669,14 @@ } } + if (dotlock->fd != -1) { + old_errno = errno; + if (close(dotlock->fd) < 0) + i_error("close(%s) failed: %m", dotlock->path); + dotlock->fd = -1; + errno = old_errno; + } + if (rename(lock_path, dotlock->path) < 0) { i_error("rename(%s, %s) failed: %m", lock_path, dotlock->path); file_dotlock_free(dotlock);

[Dovecot] Using Dovecot with nsswitch for LDAP on Solaris
by Laurent Blume 31 Jan '08

31 Jan '08

Hello all, I'm having some issues configuring dovecot 1.0.10 on a Solaris 10 box, that uses LDAP¨for its accounts. The local accounts (in /etc/passwd) are authenticated properly and work as expected, but all accounts from the LDAP fail authentication. Those are declared for the system using PAM and NSS (/etc/pam.conf and /etc/nsswitch.conf are configured accordingly). Currently, there are WU-IMAP and Qpopper installed and working, and neither of them needed any special configuration to use the login, they're just using Unix auth. I tried various configurations, based on what I read in the wiki documentation, but nothing works, even the passwd userdb/passdb, which *should* if I understand correctly. Trying to use PAM in dovecot fails, too. Any idea what I'm doing wrong, or pointers to hints? Google returned little information about configuring Dovecot on Solaris, and none that was useful.

[Dovecot] Using dovecot proxy as multi-account aggregator?
by Mika Boström 31 Jan '08

31 Jan '08

Good day. I am trying to build a rather weird setup. The basic idea is to have a relatively simple IMAP client and let dovecot do the actual connections. So far both the documentation and my trials on this front have been rather fruitless. The desired components: - 1 dovecot server, acting as a proxy - 1 master account - 1 client connection - 0 "real" user accounts, so no local mail storage at all - N real accounts, spread over different domains - mails from different remote accounts combined to the single client connection - outgoing server for mails selected by the address of the remote account Since the proxy setup can use name(a)domain.tld as destination user, it would appear that the setup is not impossible. Hence my two questions: 1) Is it possible? 2) If yes, how in the name of all that is good and holy do I configure that? And believe me, I am fully aware that for most setups a full-featured client or fetchmail would be the easier path. Thank you for any and all help in advance, -- Mika Boström / mika.bostrom(a)nomovok.com

[Dovecot] Dovecot + Windows AD + Postfix + quota
by Maciej Paczesny 31 Jan '08

31 Jan '08

Hello, I'm almost sure that all topics and problems mentioned below were separately posted to this list already. But after spending 4 days on searching, I did'n find a compilation similar to my case. So maybe some of you guys, are able to answer to help me solve this: 1. I'd like to use userdb and passdb of Dovetcot to work with Windows AD. 2. I have to use them both because I'd like to use LDA to serve for my Postfix. 3. I DO NOT want tou use any external programs (ie PAM) to talk to AD server. 4. I was able to make my system partially running - I CAN bind to AD database, and confirm user/password. 5. I want to get follownig attributes: home directory (OK, I could put it statically), uid/gid (OK, it could be static too) and MAIL QUOTA (my users have different values - no 'statics').

[Dovecot] SQL user_query question
by John Dubchak 31 Jan '08

31 Jan '08

Hi, I am working through setting up a virtual hosting system using Dovecot, Postfix and Postgres on a CentOS 5 box running an install of the dovecot-1.0-1.2.rc15.el5 RPM. The question I have is, given this password_query SELECT clause, which all return valid values from the database: user password domain can I use a %d in the WHERE clause of my user_query? The reason I ask is that the log file shows the results coming back correctly for the password_query in the log file: dovecot: auth(default): client out: OK 1 user=user1 domain=domain.com Yet, the user_query that is logged shows: dovecot: auth(default): sql(user1,192.168.0.77): SELECT vu.virtual_mailbox AS home, vu.virtual_uid AS uid, vu.virtual_gid AS gid, vd.domain AS domain FROM virtual_users vu, virtual_mailbox_domains vd WHERE vu.domain_key = vd.id AND vu.username = 'user1' AND vd.domain = '' And the actual query in my dovecot-sql.conf looks like this: user_query = SELECT vu.virtual_mailbox AS home, vu.virtual_uid AS uid, vu.virtual_gid AS gid, vd.domain AS domain FROM virtual_users vu, virtual_mailbox_domains vd WHERE vu.domain_key = vd.id AND vu.username = '%u' AND vd.domain = '%d' I would have expected the above %d to contain the "domain" SELECT value from the password_query, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Any insight is most appreciated. Thanks, John

[Dovecot] multiple ports, different characteristics
by bill-dovecot＠carpenter.ORG 31 Jan '08

31 Jan '08

The wiki <http://wiki.dovecot.org/Iptables> leads me to believe that the only way to configure dovecot to listen for the same protocol on multiple ports is via external redirection (iptables or similar). Is that so, or can dovecot be directly configured to listen on multiple ports? Here's a concrete example of what I'm trying to accomplish. Our environment uses plaintext authentication, and so we force our users to use TLS for IMAP. For some internal connections (specifically with dovecot built-in proxying), we need non-TLS connections for IMAP. It's completely OK here if we need to listen on different ports for the two flavors of connections. Can dovecot be configured to handle this and/or do we need to run multiple instances of dovecot with different config files?

[Dovecot] Deliver a message marked as read.
by "Fábio M. Catunda" 31 Jan '08

31 Jan '08

Hi. Is there a way to deliver a message already marked as read. I would like to configure my MTA to deliver a copy of all sent messages to a folder named Sent in the user Maildir, I believe that it would be interesting to keep this folder always marked as readed. I'm not sure what define a message readed (a mark, a xheader or something) thats why I'm asking here! Any idea is apreciated. Thanks, Catunda.

hi, i've found this topic while looking for a solution for the way to use 'mail groups' with dovecot an postfix, using dovecot as LDA. i'm not sure if this patch is implemented into the source or not. or maybe there is a 'special' way to have multilpe mailboxes served by postfix/dovecot? -- Maciej Paczesny maciunio2(a)gmail.com ***Gdyby nie wymyślono elektryczności, siedziałbym przed kompem przy świeczkach***

[Dovecot] viewing a subset of folders in dumb IMAP clients
by Amitai Schlair 31 Jan '08

31 Jan '08

I have several dozen IMAP folders (stored as Maildir++). When I'm on the go with my iPhone, I only want to see a few of them. My naive solution that didn't work: 1) create an alternate login that yields my existing permissions and mail folder, but stores its own version of metadata 2) configure the iPhone to use that login 3) subscribe to the folders I want I test-drove the Dovecot config in a webmail app and it worked exactly right, but it turns out the iPhone (running the latest, 1.1.3) apparently doesn't respect IMAP subscriptions. My world-weary, clunkier, but seemingly working solution: 1) have the alternate login yield my existing permissions, but a different mail folder and metadata 2) create that mail folder, make its cur/new/tmp symlinks to the real ones, and symlink in the other folders I care about Is this safe? And is there a more elegant way to do what I want? Thanks, - Amitai

[Dovecot] Shared inbox
by adsarebad＠gmail.com 31 Jan '08

31 Jan '08

Hello all, I am using dovecot with maildir storage. I want to share a inbox of one user with another user. I read the page http://wiki.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes but it does not deal with inboxes. I tried a test of a non-inbox folder and it worked great. The inbox does not have a .inbox folder instead its kindof spread through the root of the mailbox. Should I create a folder say .shared-inbox with a symbolic link to cur new tmp in other-guys-mail-folder? What about index files, uid list, and keywords? Thanks

[Dovecot] More efficient Deleting of a whole folder (or Purging Trash)
by Daniel Watts 31 Jan '08

31 Jan '08

Hi, I've straced a few dovecot processes after hitting purge on a large Trash folder (35,000 messages). It looks like it is going through each message, one by one, and removing (unlinking) each one. Is there not a more efficient way to do this? If Dovecot knows the whole folder is being deleted (ie a Trash purge), could it do something clever with the filesystem to just remove the whole folder? Incidently, the command that initially deleted those 35k messages to Trash took about 1 hour to complete on my server and effectively locked my account out for all that time. There were also an awlful lot of these output from my strace: nanosleep({0, 131475000}, NULL) = 0 lstat("/home/virtual/xxx.com/home/admin/Maildir/.Folders.Porter/dovecot-uidlist.lock", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0600, st_size=0, ...}) = 0 Not sure if there's much one can do about speeding up deleting a lot of messages though. My webmail client has a 'delete all messages' button for each folder. If there was an efficient IMAP command for deleting a whole folder that would be useful in those circumstances. Interested to know if there is anything that can be improved. Thanks, Daniel Dovecot 1.0.9 XFS Filesystem Maildir Directories

[Dovecot] Convert MBOX
by Erin D. Hughes 31 Jan '08

To all, I am using dovecot --version 1.0.10 and trying to convert MBOXes to MailDir's with the end goal of creating one folder filled with users old MBOXes that when they log in for the first time will be converted to Mail Dir format. I tried this and it did not work and gave me this output; <snip> default_mail_env = maildir:%h/mail/ #convert_mail = mbox:%h/mail:INBOX=/usr/local/src/tmpmail/%u convert_mail = mbox:%h/mail/:INBOX=/usr/local/src/tmpmail/%u Jan 30 17:17:04 pop01.unix dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.info] pop3-login: Login: user=<x4500>, method=PLAIN, rip=192.168.30.192, lip=172.20.12.8 Jan 30 17:17:04 pop01.unix dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.info] POP3(x4500): Loading modules from directory: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3 Jan 30 17:17:04 pop01.unix dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.info] POP3(x4500): Module loaded: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3/lib20_convert_plugin.so Jan 30 17:17:04 pop01.unix dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.info] POP3(x4500): Effective uid=3000, gid=3000 Jan 30 17:17:04 pop01.unix dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.info] POP3(x4500): mbox: data=/export/x4500/mail/jp/n/e/jorgen/x4500/mail/:INBOX=/usr/local/src/tmpmail/x4500 Jan 30 17:17:04 pop01.unix dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.info] POP3(x4500): mbox: root=/export/x4500/mail/jp/n/e/jorgen/x4500/mail, index=/export/x4500/mail/jp/n/e/jorgen/x4500/mail, inbox=/usr/local/src/tmpmail/x4500 Jan 30 17:17:06 pop01.unix dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.info] POP3(x4500): mbox: data=/export/x4500/mail/jp/n/e/jorgen/x4500/mail/:INBOX=/usr/local/src/tmpmail/x4500 Jan 30 17:17:06 pop01.unix dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.info] POP3(x4500): mbox: root=/export/x4500/mail/jp/n/e/jorgen/x4500/mail, index=/export/x4500/mail/jp/n/e/jorgen/x4500/mail, inbox=/usr/local/src/tmpmail/x4500 Jan 30 17:17:06 pop01.unix dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.info] POP3(x4500): maildir: data=/export/x4500/mail/jp/n/e/jorgen/x4500/mail/ Jan 30 17:17:06 pop01.unix dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.info] POP3(x4500): maildir: root=/export/x4500/mail/jp/n/e/jorgen/x4500/mail, index=/export/x4500/mail/jp/n/e/jorgen/x4500/mail, control=, inbox= Jan 30 17:17:07 pop01.unix dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.error] POP3(x4500): Mailbox conversion: Couldn't copy mailbox dovecot.index.log: BUG: Unknown internal error Jan 30 17:17:07 pop01.unix dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.error] POP3(x4500): Mailbox conversion: Couldn't copy mailbox dovecot.index: BUG: Unknown internal error Jan 30 17:17:08 pop01.unix dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.error] POP3(x4500): Mailbox conversion: Couldn't copy mailbox dovecot.index.cache: BUG: Unknown internal error Jan 30 17:17:11 pop01.unix dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.info] POP3(x4500): maildir: data=/export/x4500/mail/jp/n/e/jorgen/x4500/mail/ Jan 30 17:17:11 pop01.unix dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.info] POP3(x4500): maildir: root=/export/x4500/mail/jp/n/e/jorgen/x4500/mail, index=/export/x4500/mail/jp/n/e/jorgen/x4500/mail, control=, inbox= </snip> This actually created the x4500-convert directory but did not populate it Then I tried this trying to get the mail dir created and populated. <snip> #convert_mail = mbox:%h/mail:INBOX=/usr/local/src/tmpmail/%u convert_mail = mbox:/usr/local/src/tmpmail/%u:INBOX=/var/mail/%u Jan 30 17:22:45 pop01.unix dovecot: [ID 673593 mail.info] Dovecot v1.0.10 starting up Jan 30 17:22:59 pop01.unix dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.info] pop3-login: Login: user=<x4500>, method=PLAIN, rip=192.168.30.192, lip=172.20.12.8 Jan 30 17:22:59 pop01.unix dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.info] POP3(x4500): Loading modules from directory: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3 Jan 30 17:22:59 pop01.unix dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.info] POP3(x4500): Module loaded: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3/lib20_convert_plugin.so Jan 30 17:22:59 pop01.unix dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.info] POP3(x4500): Effective uid=3000, gid=3000 Jan 30 17:22:59 pop01.unix dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.info] POP3(x4500): mbox: data=/usr/local/src/tmpmail/x4500:INBOX=/var/mail/x4500 Jan 30 17:22:59 pop01.unix dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.info] POP3(x4500): mbox: root=/usr/local/src/tmpmail/x4500, index=/usr/local/src/tmpmail/x4500, inbox=/var/mail/x4500 Jan 30 17:22:59 pop01.unix dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.info] POP3(x4500): mbox: data=/usr/local/src/tmpmail/x4500:INBOX=/var/mail/x4500 Jan 30 17:22:59 pop01.unix dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.info] POP3(x4500): mbox: root=/usr/local/src/tmpmail/x4500, index=/usr/local/src/tmpmail/x4500, inbox=/var/mail/x4500 Jan 30 17:22:59 pop01.unix dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.info] POP3(x4500): maildir: data=/export/x4500/mail/jp/n/e/jorgen/x4500/mail/ Jan 30 17:22:59 pop01.unix dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.info] POP3(x4500): maildir: root=/export/x4500/mail/jp/n/e/jorgen/x4500/mail, index=/export/x4500/mail/jp/n/e/jorgen/x4500/mail, control=, inbox= Jan 30 17:22:59 pop01.unix dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.error] POP3(x4500): mkdir_parents(/usr/local/src/tmpmail/x4500/.imap/INBOX) failed: Not a directory Jan 30 17:22:59 pop01.unix dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.error] POP3(x4500): open() failed with subscription file /usr/local/src/tmpmail/x4500/.subscriptions: Not a directory Jan 30 17:22:59 pop01.unix dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.error] POP3(x4500): Sending log messages too fast, throttling..

Can some one please help w/this? Additionally is there a way to run mail_convert on the command line to try to sort out the arguments? I noticed the converts are .so and .a in /usr/local/lib/dovecot/ so I doubt it but it can not hurt to ask.

[Dovecot] Virtual Alias Forwarding
by Eric Biondi 30 Jan '08

30 Jan '08

I'm having a problem with Dovecot and forwarding of aliases. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm using Postfix, Mysql, dovecot, amavis. mysql> SELECT * FROM alias; | address | goto | domain | created | modified | active | It seems from the logs that incoming mail is being delivered to the mailbox via dovecot. Mail gets to the correct mailbox (address field), however, if I change the destination mailbox (goto) in the alias table in mysql, the mail still goes to the main mailbox (address). mysql_virtual_alias_maps.cf looks to be configured correctly but I'm suspecting that dovecot is circumventing that file. I'll post maillog entry, dovecot-deliver.log entry, dovecot-mysql.conf, mysql_virtual_alias_maps.cf, and dovecot.conf below in case that helps. Thanks in advance for anything that helps me resolve this.

[Dovecot] sa learning from an imap spam folder
by Zbigniew Szalbot 29 Jan '08

29 Jan '08

Hello, I am sorry if I am writing to a wrong list because honestly I do not know where to write but I would like to be able to set up sa-learn via cron to learn from spam folder of a particular email account (via IMAP). Can anyone share how to do it? Is dovecot involved in it? I am using: Exim 4.69 Dovecot 1.0.10 p5-Mail-SpamAssassin-3.2.1 Thanks a lot for helping. Zbigniew Szalbot

[Dovecot] Load average on machine 400+
by Patrick 29 Jan '08

29 Jan '08

Hi all, Over the past week our mail server which NFS mounts the /home directory for mail has been experiencing major load issues. When doing a 'top', it appeared that slapd was the culprit (we use LDAP for authentication), but after upgrading the system and updating ldap, the cpu usage for LDAP has gone down, but the load average as not. I'm using Maildir. Everything from /home is NFS mounted, and the structure looks like this: /home/USERNAME/Maildir We're doing about 300 email messages a minute right now to that server, which isn't that much. I'm at a loss of words right now as I do not know where to troubleshoot from here. I've come up with the following questions: 1) I've noticed that some of our users have 500mb Maildir folders some even have 3gb+ - would this cause the CPU to have such a high load? 2) Currently on the box there is about 120 POP3 connections and 40 IMAP connections. Could this be the issue? 3) When I first set up this server, I appended INDEX=MEMORY to the end of the mail_location line. Should I remove this? I wanted to either remove it or put it on the local machine to speed things up. Here is my config: ##################### protocols = imap imaps pop3 pop3s listen = * disable_plaintext_auth = no log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log ssl_disable = no ssl_cert_file = /usr/share/ssl/xyz.com/xyz.com.crt ssl_key_file = /usr/share/ssl/xyz.com/xyz.com.key login_dir = /var/run/dovecot-login login_user = dovecot login_process_size = 64 login_process_per_connection = yes login_max_processes_count = 128 login_max_connections = 256 mail_location = maildir:/home/%u/Maildir:INDEX=MEMORY mmap_disable = yes fsync_disable = yes first_valid_uid = 200 maildir_copy_with_hardlinks = yes maildir_copy_preserve_filename = yes protocol imap { imap_client_workarounds = outlook-idle delay-newmail } protocol pop3 { pop3_no_flag_updates = no pop3_lock_session = no pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv pop3_client_workarounds = } protocol lda { fsync_disable = no postmaster_address = postmaster(a)xyz.com hostname = mail.xyz.com } auth_username_chars = abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ01234567890.-_@ auth_username_format = %Lu auth_verbose = yes auth_worker_max_count = 30 auth default { mechanisms = plain login passdb pam { args = blocking=yes } userdb passwd { } user = dovecot-auth socket listen { client { path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode = 0660 user = postfix group = postfix } } } dict { } plugin { } ##################### Again, this only happened within the past 1-2 weeks. How can I fix? Thanks in advance! Patrick

Thanks to Marius, I've got this problem fixed! I don't know how or why, but selinux directory contexts have been altered during the update for everyone else on the system except myself (what makes it odd is that my user has the same group and permissions as everyone else). So what did the trick was to apply: chcon -t user_home_dir_t to each user's home, mail, .imap and INBOX directories. Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction, Marius!

[Dovecot] Messages not moved from Inbox by Apple Mail (Dovecot 1.0.10)
by Tom Collins 29 Jan '08

29 Jan '08

I just upgraded a server from Courier-IMAP to Dovecot, and I'm seeing some odd behavior. It's probably the result of something I did wrong in my configuration, and I'm hoping someone will let me know the easy fix for it. I have rules set up in Apple Mail to move and copy messages to different folders, some of which are IMAP folders, others on my own system. With Courier-IMAP, the messages would get moved without a problem. With dovecot, that's not happening. Here's my dovecot config. I've tried changing maildir_copy_with_hardlinks and maildir_copy_preserve_filename to "no", but that didn't seem to help. # 1.0.10: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login verbose_proctitle: yes first_valid_uid: 89 last_valid_uid: 89 first_valid_gid: 89 last_valid_gid: 89 maildir_copy_with_hardlinks: yes maildir_copy_preserve_filename: yes namespace: type: private prefix: INBOX. inbox: yes auth default: mechanisms: plain login digest-md5 cram-md5 username_chars: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ01234567890.-_@% username_translation: %@ passdb: driver: vpopmail userdb: driver: vpopmail plugin: quota: maildir I haven't tried logging the IMAP session yet, but I can turn off SSL, fire up Wireshark and monitor the session if necessary. Is this a known problem? I'm able to move messages between folders manually, but when Apple Mail moves the new messages it doesn't work. -- Tom Collins - tom(a)tomlogic.com Vpopmail - virtual domains for qmail: http://vpopmail.sf.net/ QmailAdmin - web interface for Vpopmail: http://qmailadmin.sf.net/

[Dovecot] Dovecot/SeLinux issues after RHEL5.1 upgrade
by Ion Soltan 28 Jan '08

28 Jan '08

Hello to everyone on the list, I have upgraded my RHEL4 to RHEL5.1 yesterday (all updates have been applied to it as well). I used to have dovecot v0.99.11 on the old system. Everything was working fine. Now I have 5.1 and its respective dovecot v1.0.rc15. Upon upgrading to RHEL5.1, dovecot no longer works correctly. The first thing I did after rewriting the config file for the updated version, was to check my own email. It works fine. However, no other user on the system can check his/hers. Here is what the log shows for everyone except myself: ============================ Jan 27 13:56:41 warp dovecot: POP3(jj): open() failed with file /home/jj/mail/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.log: Permission denied Jan 27 13:56:41 warp dovecot: POP3(jj): open() failed with file /home/jj/mail/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.log: Permission denied Jan 27 13:56:41 warp dovecot: POP3(jj): Couldn't open INBOX: Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. [2008-01-27 13:56:41] ============================ There are NO complaints reported by selinux in the logs. If I setenforce 0 (disable selinux), everything is working fine for everyone. If I disable selinux monitoring on dovecot (setsebool dovecot_disable_trans 1), nothing changes, which makes me think that something else is causing the problem. I do very much want to use selinux, however, I cannot figure out what the problem is and I have been trying for many hours. Can anyone help? Thanks, Ion

[Dovecot] Howto set mail_location for system users over LDAP?
by Patrick Ben Koetter 28 Jan '08

28 Jan '08

In parallel to /etc/passwd I do have my system users in LDAP. I want to store their messages in /srv/mail/state-of-mind/<username>. Dovecot has been configured to retrieve the extra field mail to override the mail_location setting. I can see in the log it retrieves the correct information as long as I run Dovecot deliver as Postfix service 'dovecot' as shown in section "Virtual users" <http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Postfix>. However if I use deliver as specified for "System users" it ignores the LDAP settings and delivers messages to my users $HOME directory as specified in /etc/passwd. Is this correct behaviour? What do I need to do to use the Postfix $mailbox_command _and_ have Dovecot deliver honor my LDAP settings?

[Dovecot] Thunderbird Problem - What causes this?
by Marc Perkel 28 Jan '08

28 Jan '08

Strange problem and I'm not sure what's causing it. I'm using IMAP. A new message arives in the inbox. I see it displayed in the message list in bold. I click on the message and it looks like it's reading it by the previous message that was in the window remains and the new message is still bold (unread). However I can then click on an old message and then click on the new message again and it reads. I have also seen Thunderbird be in a somewhat unresponsive state. You can click on messages and they don't read. But Shutting down Thunderbird and restarting it make it responsive again. Has anyone seen this?

[Dovecot] proxy configuration
by bill-dovecot＠carpenter.ORG 27 Jan '08

27 Jan '08

Before I spend some time experimenting with what might be impossible, maybe someone can just tell me (either "how" or that it's impossible). I'd like to get perdition out of my environment (mainly to have one less moving part in my architecture). I'm looking at dovecot's built-in proxying. In my setup, I don't have dedicated front-end machines. A user can connect to any server, but their mail files live on one particular machine. I'd like to transparently proxy them from whatever machine they happen to hit to their home machine. Except for the "proxy_maybe" feature advertised for dovecot 1.1, I don't see a surefire way to do this. Has anyone done it, or can anyone say for sure that it can't reasonably be done until "proxy_maybe"?

[Dovecot] Thunderbird trouble with Dovecote and dbox
by Hannes Dorbath 27 Jan '08

27 Jan '08

Hi, I'm new to Dovecot -- migrating from Cyrus. Version and config: # 1.1.beta14: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf protocols: imaps login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login mail_location: dbox:/data/mail/%u auth default: passdb: driver: pam args: * userdb: driver: passwd Linux 2.6.22-gentoo-r10 x86_64 GNU/Linux I have chosen dbox as mailbox format as it is claimed to be the best performing -- and performance is the reason I'd like to migrate away form Cyrus. I'm aware that dbox might not be 100% mature, but I'm good at doing backups. Anyway, so far I have the following problems: - Greyed out Inbox After creating a new user and connecting to that account with Thunderbird the first time, the INBOX folder is greyed out and in italic. Restarting Thunderbird 3-4 times seems to fix the problem. Google suggests that other people have seen the same, but they never found a solution. - After creating sub folders they are not displayed, I need to manually subscribe to them after creation. - When "Trash" contains folders, Thunderbird is unable to "Empty Trash". While the folder is removed from Thunderbird's folder tree, it's there again after a restart of Thunderbird. - Deleted folders are never deleted from the file system. I'm not sure if this is intended with dbox. - Moving folders via drag & drop does not work, it just does nothing. So basically nothing besides reading existing mails seems to work reliable. My basic questions now is, are those problems related to dbox, or to Dovecot and Thunderbird in general? -- Best regards, Hannes Dorbath

[Dovecot] User-specific mail_location using passwd database

26 Jan '08

current version : 1.0.rc15 Hi, I would just like to know if it's possible to have different mail locations for different UNIX users, using pam authentication and the passwd userdb. We also have some virtual users using an SQL db. The current config is : auth default: username_translation: %@ verbose: yes debug: yes passdb: driver: pam passdb: driver: passwd passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: passwd userdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf Then we can only modify mail locations for virtual users on the sql userdb. But how could we change it for real users ? Thanks for help, -- Maxime Brugidou

[Dovecot] Dovecot LDA (deliver) stopped working

Hello, One day a week or so ago, a server that's Postifx w/ Local users, dovecot w/ LDA decided to stop working. The only thing that stopped is the LDA portion, the rest all works fine. I also posted to the postfix mailing list yesterday but wasn't able to debug any further. Here's the situation: if I use mailbox_command to point to deliver, postfix will always put the message in the deferred queue. However, if I run deliver from the command line, it works fine. I've recompiled Dovecot and Postfix cleanly and reinstalled a few times to ensure permissions are OK. It's not a virtual setup, so I do NOT have setuid root on the deliver binary. Postfix people suggested placing a wrapper script for mailbox_command, which I did, and have it log to a text file, so I do know that deliver is being called. However, although I have LDA debug logging on, and it DID log prior to this, when postfix supposedly calls deliver, dovecot does NOT log anything. It DOES however log if I call deliver from any account (root or not) from the command line (ls / | /path/to/deliver -d localaccountname). Any way I can debug this further? I would assume that deliver would log something even if it's called, but it appears that it does not. My postfix related details are here: http://marc.info/?l=postfix-users&m=120119147917409&w=2 I followed the postfix/lda wiki (http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Postfix) when setting it up, and it worked perfectly for months. I did indeed only have to change mailbox_command and it worked (I'm also using sasl auth, but that should be unrelated). Obviously something happened on my system, but I would assume recompiling/reinstalling would reset things. Nothing in the config files for postfix or dovecot changed, from what I can see, as generally I am the only one making changes. Thanks, --falz
