sorry for replying through that links but - as you may see - replying to Jonathan will not work. If AT&T have such strange policy then i am just sorry.

[Dovecot] cumulative userdb ?
by Benoit Branciard 22 Jun '12

22 Jun '12

in Dovecot 2.0, is it possible to have kind of "cumulative" multiple userdb ? that is, for all users: - extract some attributes (let's say: uid, gid, home) from a first userdb (Passwd for example), - an extract some other attributes (mail for example, but overwriting those from the first userdb in case of redundancy) from a second userdb (LDAP for example) ? This is *different* from the "multiple databases" setup described in http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/MultipleDatabases, where it is meant as "failover": the second database is looked up only if the user isn't found in the first database. -- Benoit BRANCIARD Service InfraStructures (SIS) - Direction du Système d'Information (DSI) Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne Centre Pierre Mendès France B 406 - 90, rue de Tolbiac - 75634 Paris cedex 13 - France Tél : +33 1 44 07 89 68 - Fax : +33 1 44 07 89 66 Accueil tél. : +33 1 44 07 89 65 Assistance : assistance-dsi(a)univ-paris1.fr Web : http://dsi.univ-paris1.fr -- Ce message a ete verifie par MailScanner pour des virus ou des polluriels et rien de suspect n'a ete trouve.

[Dovecot] Dovecot LDA, Offlineimap and Sieve
by Johnny 22 Jun '12

22 Jun '12

Hi, I am trying to st up Offlineimap to use Dovecots LDA to be able to use Sieve for mail filtering, but am not sure how to get this working. I think the right way would be to use 'preauthtunnel' in .offlineimaprc and try the setup below, which doesn't work. ,----.offlineimaprc | [Repository LocalRepository] | type = IMAP | preauthtunnel = ssh -q localhost '/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d myloginid' `---- If I go via the network card, the snch is fine, but Sieve can't be used? ,---- | [Repository LocalRepository] | type = IMAP | preauthtunnel = MAIL=maildir:$HOME/Maildir/myMailDir /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d mylogonid | remotehost = localhost | port = 143 | remoteuser = mylogonid | remotepass = mypassword `---- Has anyone got any tips on how to get offlineimap to send mail to Dovecot in a way that Siev3e can be used? thanks! -- Johnny

[Dovecot] LDA vs maildrop... LDA *and* maildrop?
by email builder 22 Jun '12

22 Jun '12

We're considering a move from Courier to Dovecot. So far, looks like it's not too bad, but the most challenging obstacle is what to do about our local delivery. Factors: 1. we use a lot of maildrop "features" that are impossible in sieve without piping to an external program (would rather not re-write our working maildrop scripts in another language) 2. would love to try dbox 3. we use IMAP/Maildir++ quotas (looks like with a little finesse it's possible to get maildrop and dovecot to play nice on this account, yes?) I saw it suggested to just call LDA from maildrop for any maildrop "to" commands (hmmm, what about "cc"?) here: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.mail.imap.dovecot/56120 How much overhead will this take? Would it be possible or advisable to use LMTP instead if that would help? Is this idea just too crazy?

[Dovecot] Manual manipulation of Sieve files
by email builder 22 Jun '12

22 Jun '12

We have some scripts that take care of some tasks when creating new email accounts, such as creating some default mail filter rules. I know Sieve scripts are plain text files, but need to be compiled for use. I see that you can use seivec to compile scripts manually, which can help me create .dovecot.svbin which can be placed where needed and permissioned correctly. But a couple questions: * Sieve has the concept of an active script - is this merely whatever is compiled into the .dovecot.svbin file? * Does dovecot (managesieve) do any other housekeeping when a user sieve script is installed and set as the active script? I would need to replicate this manually. * If the default script is always the same (sorry, for us, the solution isn't global scripts), would it work to compile that script once, keep the compiled version somewhere and merely copy it into the correct place for a new user? Are there issues with this? * Should we always have the plain text version along with the compiled one for proper managesieve operation going forward (users can edit their sieve scripts) Thank you

[Dovecot] Dovecot proxy/director and mail pop3/imap backend service on same server
by Aerion Stevens 22 Jun '12

22 Jun '12

Hi all, I am interested in running a Dovecot Proxy(with Director) on the same server as the main Dovecot IMAP/POP3 service. I have a basic Proxy/Director configuration working, however I am struggling with getting the Proxy and IMAP/POP3 service to coexist on the same server. I plan to use three IMAP/POP3 servers with a NFS/maildir backend, and I am playing with Dovecot 2.1.5 at the moment. I have two seperate configurations, one for the Proxy/Director and one for the Dovecot IMAP/POP3 "mail backend servers". For this to work my thoughts are that I will need to run the Proxy/Director imap/pop3 login process on the standard ports 143, 110, 993, 995 and for the Dovecot IMAP/POP3 mail backend service running on the same server will need to use different ports (I decided to be 9143, 9110, 9993, 9995 for example). How do I tell the director to proxy incoming imap/pop3 connection to the mail backend servers running on ports 9143, 9110, 9993, 9995 rather than the default imap/pop3 ports? Using the default ports will clearly cause loops. Can anyone kindly provide an example snippet of config that tells the director to use different port for IMAP and POP3 proxy? I have so far found the following pages helpful to what I am working on: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase/ExtraFields/Proxy http://wiki2.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase/ExtraFields http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Director Cheers, Aerion.

[Dovecot] GlusterFS + Dovecot
by Romer Ventura 22 Jun '12

22 Jun '12

Hello, Has anyone used GlusterFS as storage file system for dovecot or any other email system..? It says that it can be presented as a NFS, CIFS and as GlusterFS using the native client, technically using the client would allow the machine to read and write to it, therefore, I think that Dovecot would not care about it. Correct? Anyone out there used this setup?? Thanks.

[Dovecot] dovecot 2.1.5 performance
by Angel L. Mateo 21 Jun '12

21 Jun '12

Hello, I'm migrating from 1.1.16 running in 4 debian lenny servers virtualized with xenserver and 1 core and 5GB of RAM to 2.1.5 running in 4 ubuntu 12.04 servers with 6 cpu cores and 16GB of RAM virtualized with VMWare, but I'm having lots a performance problems. I don't think that virtualization platform could be the problem, because the new servers running in xenserver has the same problems than running in vmware. I have about 70000 user accounts, most of them without real activity (they are students who doesn't read his email or have its account redirected to other provider). I have about 700-1000 concurrent imap connections. I have storage in nfs (nfsv3, the nfs server is a celerra), but indexes are in local filesystems (each server has its own index fs). Mailboxes are in maildir format. Old servers and actual director servers are load balanced with an radware appdirector load balancer (the new backend servers don't need to be balanced because I'm using a director farm) In the old platform I have scenario number 2 described at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/NFS, but in the new ones I have a director proxy directing all connections from each user to the same server (I don't specify any server for the user, director selects it according to the hash algorithm it has). Some doubts I have for the recommended in that url: * mmap_disable: both single and multi server configurations have mmap_disable=yes but in index file section says that you need it if you have your index files stored in nfs. I have it stored locally. Do I need mmap_disable=yes? What it's the best? * dotlock_use_excl: it is set to no in both configurations, but the comment says that it is needed only in nfsv2. Since I have nfs3, I have it set it to yes. * mail_nfs_storage: In single server is set to no, but in multi server it set to yes. Since I have a director in front of my backend server, what is the recommended? With this configuration, when I have a few connections (about 300-400 imap connections) everything is working fine, but when I disconnect the old servers and direct all my users' connections to the new servers I have lot of errors. server loads increments to over 300 points, with a very high io wait. With atop, I could see that of my 6 cores, I have one with almost 100% waiting for i/o and the other with almost 100% idle, but load of the server is very, very high. With the old servers, I have performance problems, access to mail is slow, but it works. But with the new ones it doesn't work at all. Any idea? -- Angel L.

[Dovecot] public namespace
by Daniel Fischer 21 Jun '12

21 Jun '12

Hello, dovecot -n # 2.0.18: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.2.0-2-amd64 x86_64 Debian wheezy/sid mail_gid = 5000 mail_location = maildir:~:INDEX=/var/mail/indexes/%d/%n mail_privileged_group = vmail mail_uid = 5000 namespace { hidden = no inbox = yes list = yes location = prefix = separator = / subscriptions = yes type = private } namespace { list = children location = maildir:/var/mail/vhosts/%d/public:INDEX=/var/mail/indexes/%d/%n/public prefix = Public/ separator = / subscriptions = no type = public } i´m a little bit confused but I hope I find help here. The user mailboxes work perfectly just the public mailbox is a little bit tricky I expect that all public maildirs be placed under /var/mail/vhosts/%d/public. They are created by defining a public namespace, under which all the shared mailboxes are. For those special users, I have set the maillocation via passwd file to /%d/public/%n, all other users have /%d/%n. So we have following folder structure \public \public\.info \public\.lager \public\.buchhaltung And so on Thats works fine, but with subfolder start the problems. When the info-user loggs on and creates a subfolder under his INBOX(called hust2) then no other people can see this. Otherside, if a normal user creates a folder in public folder info(called hust), the info user can´ t see this one. If I look to filesystem, the reason is clear: %d/public/.info# ls -la insgesamt 32 drwx--S---+ 2 vmail vmail 6 Jun 19 11:50 cur -rwxrwx---+ 1 vmail vmail 51 Jun 21 09:50 dovecot-uidlist -rw-rw----+ 1 vmail vmail 8 Jun 19 11:51 dovecot-uidvalidity -r--r-----+ 1 vmail vmail 0 Jun 19 11:50 dovecot-uidvalidity.4fe04b06 drwx--S---+ 5 vmail vmail 78 Jun 19 11:54 .INBOX.hust2 drwx--S---+ 2 vmail vmail 6 Jun 19 11:50 new -rw-rw----+ 1 vmail vmail 18 Jun 19 11:51 subscriptions drwx--S---+ 2 vmail vmail 6 Jun 19 11:50 tmp drwx--S---+ 5 vmail vmail 78 Jun 21 09:51 .Trash %d/public# ls -la insgesamt 16 -rw-rw----+ 1 vmail vmail 8 Jun 19 11:51 dovecot-uidvalidity -r--r-----+ 1 vmail vmail 0 Jun 19 11:51 dovecot-uidvalidity.4fe04b36 drwx--S---+ 7 vmail vmail 4096 Jun 21 09:50 .info drwx--S---+ 5 vmail vmail 78 Jun 21 09:51 .info.hust A look to the info mailbox makes it clear: info@BLABLA \INBOX \hust2 >create by info user in his mailbox \Trash \Public \info >his own public share \hust >create by other user in public folder What I need is: %d/public/lager/cur %d/public/lager/new %d/public/lager/tmp %d/public/lager/.foo %d/public/lager/.foo.bar %d/public/ info /cur %d/public/ info /new %d/public/ info /tmp %d/public/info/.hust %d/public/info/.hust.deeperhust %d/public/info/.hust2 All public maildirs under /%d/public/%n Must I create a namespace for all public maildirs?: namespace { location = maildir:/var/mail/vhosts/%d/public/info } namespace { location = maildir:/var/mail/vhosts/%d/public/lager } I can´ t figure out on my own, please give me an explanation.

[Dovecot] Dovecot not liking AD config from wiki??
by Kaya Saman 21 Jun '12

21 Jun '12

I think the issue seems to be the mechanism between Dovecot and AD, so basically PAM..... I adapted my pam.d file to this: # auth auth sufficient pam_krb5.so no_warn try_first_pass debug #auth sufficient pam_ssh.so no_warn try_first_pass auth required pam_unix.so no_warn try_first_pass # account #account required pam_nologin.so #account required pam_unix.so account required pam_krb5.so in the hope that this config would work: userdb { driver = static args = uid=501 gid=501 home=/mail/%u driver = static # args = uid=500 gid=500 home=/ZPOOL_1/%u # allow_all_users=yes } passdb { driver = pam } However I am still having issues :-( Regards, Kaya

Hi everyone, since some time I got problems with dovecot & mysql. I got the problem with version 2.0.x and upgraded to 2.1.7 to check if its gone.

[Dovecot] Dovecot not liking AD config from wiki??
by Kaya Saman 20 Jun '12

20 Jun '12

Hi, I'm trying to setup Dovecot with MS AD and am using this as my guide: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/ActiveDirectoryNtlm I can definitely access information on the AD server using wbinfo -g and wbinfo -u..... Currently my dovecot.conf file looks like this: # v1.1: #auth_ntlm_use_winbind = yes # v1.2+: auth_use_winbind = yes auth_winbind_helper_path = /usr/local/bin/ntlm_auth protocols = imap # It's nice to have separate log files for Dovecot. You could do this # by changing syslog configuration also, but this is easier. log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-info.log # Disable SSL for now. ssl = no disable_plaintext_auth = no # We're using Maildir format #mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir mail_location = mbox:/mail:INBOX=/mail/%u # If you're using POP3, you'll need this: #pop3_uidl_format = %g # Authentication configuration: auth_verbose = yes auth_debug = yes auth_username_format = %n auth_mechanisms = plain ntlm login userdb { driver = static args = uid=501 gid=501 home=/mail/%u driver = static allow_all_users=yes } According to the documentation I should be using: userdb static { ... } which seems to be Dovecot v1. config, and additionally the "allow_all_users=yes" statement when added seems again v1. config since Dovecot 2. won't even start? In the meantime when not using "allow_all_users" Dovecot throws up these errors: Jun 20 11:30:40 master: Warning: Killed with signal 15 (by pid=4149 uid=0 code=kill) Jun 20 11:30:48 auth: Fatal: No passdbs specified in configuration file.

[Dovecot] Very High Load on Dovecot 2 and Errors in mail.err.
by Urban Loesch 20 Jun '12

20 Jun '12

Hi, I have a DELL PE R610 (32GB RAM 2x Six Core CPU and about 1,4 TB RAID 10) running with 20.000 Mailaccounts behind 2 Dovecot IMAP/POP3 Proxies on a Debian Lenny. The Server was running about 1 year without any problems. 15Min Load was between 0,5 and max 8. No high IOWAIT. CPU Idletime about 98%. But since yesterday morning the Systemload on the Server has been increased over 500. I Think this is very high. The strange thing: there was no IOWAIT and the CPU Idle time was allways the same on about 98%. The total amount of IMAP Sessions is about 300 - 600.

[Dovecot] message parser: Fixed infinite loop when parsing a specific message.
by Timo Sirainen 20 Jun '12

20 Jun '12

I committed this change to all hg branches: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.1/rev/4461b48fcc1f After that I realized that it doesn't actually matter, because it fixes only a situation where input buffer's size is less than 84 bytes. This happened on a test program where I was using a 64 byte buffer, but the real code in Dovecot always uses much larger buffers. So, don't worry, there's no way to actually DOS Dovecot with this. No need for distro people to create any security releases.

[Dovecot] doveadm fetch LARGE attachments and remove message
by Bradley Giesbrecht 19 Jun '12

19 Jun '12

Looking at the wiki and man pages I am unsure how to fetch email attachments from a unix shell. I have an "doveadm search" that returns the messages that have the attachments I am after. Would I loop through an "doveadm fetch" and use a commandline imap client to save the attachments and move the message to the Trash? Or is there a doveadm command for this? Regards, Bradley Giesbrecht (pixilla)

[Dovecot] dovecot-sieve and LMT
by Martin Weil 19 Jun '12

19 Jun '12

Dear list, My mail server is working perfectly. So I am trying to add feature after feature, until I have all the features I need. This has worked fine until now. I am trying to get dovecot-sieve to work. So I activated dovecot-lda and the sieve plugin and told postfix to use deliver instead of procmail. After restarting all services I then created a test sieve file. Obviously I have not yet understood the whole process completely because, it simply does not work. I suspect some permission problems or misconfiguration of the sieve file, but I am not sure where to look for solutions. -rw-r--r-- 1 2001 2001 116 2012-06-16 21:25 /var/mail/vmail/domain.com/user/dovecot.sieve dovecot.sieve require "fileinto"; if header :contains ["subject"] ["Test"] { fileinto ".Folder1"; } else { fileinto ".Folder2"; } Of course Folder1 and Folder2 do exist. (/var/mail/vmail/domain.com/user/mail/.Folder1 and Folder2) As far as I can tell there are no errors reported anywhere, I checked mail.log and syslog. 2001 is the virtual uid/gid of this particular user. If anyone can help me with this it would be great. The Mailserver works very well apart from this. There was one odd thing apart from this. In the docs I read that auth-master has to be running for deliver to work correctly. I did not know this before, but mails were delivered correctly after I started using deliver. So is there a need for auth-master to be running or not?

[Dovecot] question about fts_squat
by Wojciech Puchar 18 Jun '12

18 Jun '12

just installed dovecot with fts_squat config attached after message. When i telnet to imap server and execute by hand 1 login user password select foldername search body "someword" it works fine, and at blazing speed except first run (indexing). i already indexed everything by doveadm index offline to prevent server overload if multiple users (after i tell them) will try fulltext search. All great BUT it doesn't work in thunderbird. Just gives zero results. i used tcpdump to check how thunderbird executes it and it uses search undeleted body "someword" tried manually and it DOES NOT WORK. always give empty results. even search all body "someword" doesn't work. while search body "someword" always work very well. what's wrong? # 2.1.7: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: FreeBSD 8.3-STABLE amd64 disable_plaintext_auth = no listen = * mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir mail_plugins = fts fts_squat namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = } passdb { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/deny-users deny = yes driver = passwd-file } passdb { driver = pam } plugin { fts = squat fts_squat = partial=4 full=10 } protocols = imap ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = passwd } protocol imap { mail_plugins = fts fts_squat }

[Dovecot] Problem with lmtp director proxy
by Angel L. Mateo 18 Jun '12

18 Jun '12

Hi, I have a timeout problem only when I have heavy load in my system. I have two director servers directing to 4 backend servers. The problem is when my smtp relays tries to deliver mail to my users via lmtp (proxied with director). In the smtp logs I have: Jun 12 11:41:18 xenon13 postfix/lmtp[4248]: 4433E5D5A0: to=<myuser(a)um.es>, relay=pop.um.es[155.54.212.106]:24, delay=31, delays=0.41/0.06/0/30, dsn=4.4.0, status=deferred (host pop.um.es[155.54.212.106] said: 451 4.4.0 Remote server not answering (timeout while waiting for reply to DATA reply) (in reply to end of DATA command)) If I look for this connection in the director servers I have: Jun 12 11:40:39 myotis41 dovecot: lmtp(6595): Connect from 155.54.212.167 Jun 12 11:40:39 myotis41 dovecot: lmtp(6595): Debug: auth input: user=user1 proxy host=155.54.211.163 proxy_refresh=450 Jun 12 11:40:39 myotis41 dovecot: lmtp(6595): Debug: auth input: user=user2 proxy host=155.54.211.163 proxy_refresh=450 .... (more users, a total of 34 recipients) Jun 12 11:40:39 myotis41 dovecot: lmtp(6595): Debug: auth input: user=myuser proxy host=155.54.211.164 proxy_refresh=450 ... Jun 12 11:41:09 myotis41 dovecot: lmtp(6595): Disconnect from 155.54.212.167: Client quit (in reset) and in one of the final server (the one for the user in question): Jun 12 11:40:38 myotis34 dovecot: lmtp(16824): Connect from 155.54.211.186 Jun 12 11:40:38 myotis34 dovecot: lmtp(16824, <user1>): wJ9BD7YM10 +4QQAAG5O5Qg: sieve: msgid=<182283367.48.1339494011054.JavaMail.tomcat@sakai-prod4>: stored mail into mailbox 'INBOX' ... Jun 12 11:41:10 myotis34 dovecot: lmtp(16824, <myuser>): wJ9BD7YM10+4QQA AG5O5Qg: sieve: msgid=<182283367.48.1339494011054.JavaMail.tomcat@sakai-prod4>: stored mail into mailbox 'INBOX' ... Jun 12 11:41:11 myotis34 dovecot: lmtp(16824): Disconnect from 155.54.211.186: Connection closed (in reset) So the mail seems to be correctly delivered in about 30 seconds. All my postfix timeouts are bigger than this time: lmtp_connect_timeout = 0s lmtp_connection_cache_time_limit = 2s lmtp_connection_reuse_time_limit = 300s lmtp_data_done_timeout = 600s lmtp_data_init_timeout = 120s lmtp_data_xfer_timeout = 180s lmtp_lhlo_timeout = 300s lmtp_mail_timeout = 300s lmtp_pix_workaround_delay_time = 10s lmtp_pix_workaround_threshold_time = 500s lmtp_quit_timeout = 300s lmtp_rcpt_timeout = 300s lmtp_rset_timeout = 20s lmtp_sasl_auth_cache_time = 90d lmtp_starttls_timeout = 300s lmtp_tls_session_cache_timeout = 3600s lmtp_xforward_timeout = 300s So... why do I have this error? As a side effect this mail was delivered twice in the user's mailbox, this is one and the other when postfix retries again. Any help? Thank you -- Angel L.
