[Dovecot] Valid config for lda_mailbox_autosubscribe with dovecot 1.2?
by Joan 25 May '12

25 May '12

Hi, Due to some reasons I've to support both dovecot 1.2 and dovecot 2.x, and I just found that the -s parameter I used to autosubscribe to sieve folders doesn't exist anymore in dovecot 2.x The problem arises because (AFAIK) in postfix's master.cf you can only specify one configuration, and I used to have this: dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail argv=/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -f ${sender} -d ${recipient} -s Is there any way to make the config compatible for both versions, achieving the autosubscribe and not crashing dovecot?

[Dovecot] Running sieve manually
by Fredrik Staxeng 23 May '12

23 May '12

I would like use sieve to split up my saved mail into different folders. I have tried to find out how to do that, but failed. The IMAP server is dovecot 1.2.15 on ubuntu 11.04. The mail is stored in mbox folders. I have shell access. -- Fredrik Stax\"ang | rot13: sfgk(a)hcqngr.hh.fr This is all you need to know about vi: ESC : q ! RET

[Dovecot] Berkeley DB with Dovecot
by Jerry 23 May '12

23 May '12

I have a friend who is preparing to set up a small Postfix/Dovecot mail system. There are only approximately 25 users. He wants to use Berkeley DB in a similar fashion to the way Postfix does. I told him I do not believe Dovecot supports that. I could not find any documentation relating to it. 1) Does Dovecot support Berkeley DB? 2) Are their any plans to incorporate that feature into Dovecot? It seems like it could potentially be a very useful feature. I have used it myself when a full blown MySQL configuration seemed like over-kill on other small projects. -- Jerry ♔ Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.

[Dovecot] sieve
by upen 22 May '12

22 May '12

Hi, I'd like to keep all emails coming from alom-alert@anydomain and not forward those but rest of the emails will be kept and forwarded as well. I put following in the .dovecot.sieve if header :contains "Sender" "alom-alert@" { keep; if not header :contains "Sender" "alom-alert@" { redirect "my@emailid on server"; redirect "xyz(a)gmail.com"; redirect "abc(a)tbc.edu"; stop; } } Is this correct? Thanks, UG

Hi everyone, I have a dovecot 2.1.6 setup with fts_lucene. The lucene indexes get created/updated fine when I do a manual search thru telnet.

[Dovecot] Convert from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8?
by Bjørn T Johansen 20 May '12

20 May '12

The server I am running Dovecot on is still using locale = ISO-8859-1 but I am thinking it is time to convert to UTF-8... Can I just use convmv to convert all the files in the mailboxes to UTF-8 or is there anything else I need to do? Do I need to run iconv to convert the content also or does dovecot/MUA fix this by it self?

Re: [Dovecot] BEWARE: This list is being harvested for leads
by Douglas Mortensen 20 May '12

I personally didn't mind a one-time notice from the dev's team that that are now offering paid commercial support. What if I WANTED it? I felt like it was a courtesy email from them to let me know that it's available. If those emails continue unsolicited, then it may start to feel like spam to me, but this did not. In general, I've actually been looking for ways to financially support good open source projects. I have worked with many & find that oftentimes, the ones with hood commercial support tend to be ones that have the manpower resources needed to quickly fix bugs, patch vulnerabilities, maintain a strong development schedule & give decent support through mailing lists & similar means. So when I received the email, immediately I thought: "Hmm. This may come in handy down the road, and would serve two purposes by giving me an easily justifiable means to support the project".

[Dovecot] Best way to change index location on mdbox
by Patrick Westenberg 20 May '12

20 May '12

Hi, right now my index directory is part of the users home directory: mail_home = /var/mail/%d/%n mail_location = mdbox:~/mdbox I want the indexes to be stored in a different location: mail_home = /var/mail/%d/%n mail_location = mdbox:~/mdbox:INDEX=/var/indexes/%d/%n If I just switch this setting and reload the configuration, no e-mails are shown to the user. After restoring the whole maildir I deleted all dovecot.index.*-files from that user and starting dovecot with the new index directory setting, I got the following error after connecting. I expected the index files to be regenerated but I got an error: May 18 23:11:12 imap(test(a)example.com): Panic: file mail-storage.c: line 787 (mailbox_check_mismatching_separators): assertion fail ed: (strncmp(vname, ns->prefix, ns->prefix_len-1) == 0) May 18 23:11:12 imap(test(a)example.com): Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x4475a) [0x7f993f60875a] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x447a6) [0x7f993f6087a6] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_error+0) [0x7f993f5df5bf] - > /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mailbox_open_stream+0) [0x7f993f8ccca0] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so. 0(mailbox_open+0xf) [0x7f993f8cccbf] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mdbox_storage_rebuild_in_context+0xb2b) [0x7f993f8 8eeab] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mdbox_sync_begin+0x7ec) [0x7f993f88ce7c] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-st orage.so.0(mdbox_sync+0x46) [0x7f993f88cee6] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mdbox_storage_sync_init+0x87) [0x7f993f88c fc7] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mailbox_sync_init+0x31) [0x7f993f8cb851] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-stor age.so.0(mailbox_sync+0x27) [0x7f993f8cc387] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(index_storage_get_status+0x28f) [0x7f993f8 ef41f] -> dovecot/imap(imap_status_get+0x7a) [0x41756a] -> dovecot/imap(cmd_status+0x14f) [0x40e85f] -> dovecot/imap(command_exec+0x3d) [ 0x41158d] -> dovecot/imap() [0x41050e] -> dovecot/imap() [0x4105ed] -> dovecot/imap(client_handle_input+0x135) [0x410815] -> dovecot/imap (client_input+0x5f) [0x41113f] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_call_io+0x36) [0x7f993f6148f6] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot /libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0x9f) [0x7f993f61592f] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x28) [0x7f993f614898] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(master_service_run+0x13) [0x7f993f601023] -> dovecot/imap(main+0x2a4) [0x419364] -> /lib/libc.s o.6(__libc_start_main+0xfd) [0x7f993f280c8d] -> dovecot/imap() [0x408e89] How can I change the index directory without losing mails?

[Dovecot] High level of pop3 popping causing server to become unresponsive
by Root Kev 19 May '12

19 May '12

Hello all, We have put Dovecot 2.1.4 on several of our production servers (CentOS, on Dell R710, with 20GB memory, dual CPU Quad-core). We have a single instance of Dovecot running and currently have several instances of Popa3d. When there are significant amount of popping from 2 mailboxes that dovecot that is popping from (500+ msgs in the mailboxes), the popping of the messages causes the boxes to become unresponsive. We use another application that connects to the Dovecot, downloads 2-10 messages, then processes them, then sends the delete command to Dovecot. When this issue occurs we are unable to become Root, or login again if we close our ssh connection. This only occures when Dovecot is doing the popping. If we only run the older Popa3d, this doesn't occur. We believe it is caused by the way dovecot is authenticating. We are using auth_mechanisms = plain passdb drive = shadow usedb driver = passwd args = blocking=yes If anyone could suggest what could be causing the login issue, we would appreciate any incite to fix it! Thanks, Kevin

[Dovecot] ..::MBOX ISSUE::..
by Alfonso Alejandro Reyes Jimenez 19 May '12

19 May '12

Hi everyone. I have a postfix working with sasl auth and dovecot, everything works fine. I just have 2 issues, the first is that if you add the IMAP mail accounts you can import all the mboxes on the /var/spool/mail/ which we don't want. The second issue is that there's no sent, trash and draft folder, so if we have imap we are not able to store those emails. Basically I would like to know how to fix both but the first one is the most urgent. I thought it was a postfix issue, but it seems not to be. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for your help.

[Dovecot] Authentication with AD and quick mbox question
by Kaya Saman 19 May '12

19 May '12

Hi, I'm attempting to implement Dovecot 2.1.3 built on a FreeBSD 8.2 64 bit system from ports. I had the servicve up and running on a local vbox demo which did a very simple Maildir format sytem which was situated in ~/Maildir. I would now like to expand the system and tie it to a Windows domain. What is the best way to go about doing this? Can Dovecot be directly tied in or do I need to tie the server in to the domain? This is my current dovecot.conf file - which of course I will tweak but as I am currently in the stage of building this is what I have so far: 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_mechanisms = plain passdb { driver = passwd-file args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/passwd } userdb { # driver = static # args = uid=root gid=root home=/root/ driver = static args = uid=500 gid=500 home=/ZPOOL_1/%u } Is this correct to use mbox++ format and store under /mail/%u ?? Can anybody give me some advice? Regards, Kaya

[Dovecot] Migration between namespaces breaks outlook on mac's
by Mark Zealey 19 May '12

19 May '12

Hi there, We're running dovecot 1.1 on one set of servers with a courier-imap-like namespace configuration: namespace private { separator = . prefix = INBOX. inbox = yes } We're now migrating customers onto a dovecot-2 platform, switching from Maildir to sdbox (using dsync mirror) & changing the namespace at the same time. New namespace configuration looks like (as taken from http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Namespaces) # This is for courier-imap namespace compatability namespace { type = private separator = / prefix = inbox = yes } namespace { type = private prefix = INBOX. separator = . inbox = no hidden = yes list = no alias_for = } For 99% of clients this works fine eg thunderbird on first login after migration notices the folder structure has changed & automagically redownloads folders & emails. However I have noticed some really strange messages in the logs which seems to be related to customers running outlook on macos. When they login after migration they are generating commands like: dovecot: imap(xxxx): Mailbox created: INBOX 1 1 1 1 1 dovecot: imap(xxxx): Mailbox created: INBOX 1 1 1 1 1 1 dovecot: imap(xxxx): Mailbox created: INBOX 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 dovecot: imap(xxxx): Mailbox created: INBOX 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 dovecot: imap(xxxx): Mailbox created: INBOX 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 dovecot: imap(xxxx): Mailbox created: INBOX 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 dovecot: imap(xxxx): Mailbox created: INBOX 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 dovecot: imap(xxxx): Mailbox created: INBOX 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ... this goes on a long time and we've not yet found a solution other than delete the imap config on their outlook and reconfigure. Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening, or if there is a way we can somehow have old namespaces for old customers, new namespaces for new customers (we are using sql login code so should be possible to do something like this in theory I think?) Thanks, Mark

Hi, Is it possible to set Dovecot to write new e-mails in the place of the oldest e-mails, when there is no storage left in the Maildir? -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Override-old-e-mails-with-new-e-mails-after-exceeding… Sent from the Dovecot mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Dovecot] TLS X.509 CRLs
by Matthias-Christian Ott 18 May '12

18 May '12

Hi, according to the documentation file referenced by ssl_ca must contain the Client certificate CA and the corresponding CRL. Thus dovecot would have to receive SIGHUP to reload a new CRL. Did I understand this correctly? Regards, Matthias-Christian

[Dovecot] Getting Postfix Admin's DB to work with Postfix's/Dovecot's MySQL DB
by Femi Ajayi 18 May '12

18 May '12

Hi all, I followed the instructions here: http://library.linode.com/email/postfix/dovecot-mysql-centos-5 to configure Postfix to work with MySQL and Dovecot before discovering PostfixAdmin (I was searching for a visual tool for creating users). Since I had created MySQL database already for virtual domains and user mailboxes (following the instructions I linked to earlier) and PostFix admin's db too does the same. Question #1: is there anyway to make all these work with together for the creationg and use of virtual users/mailboxes? or is there another visual tool for creating virtual users/mailboxes? I had also installed Roundcube following the instructions on Roundcube's page: http://trac.roundcube.net/wiki/Howto_Install The questions now is: . #2. Roundcube came with its own database, which also stores user information. Is there a way to ensure that the user information is picked from the database created to work with Postfix (and not Roundcube's)? Thanks.

[Dovecot] BEWARE: This list is being harvested for leads
by Bill Cole 18 May '12

18 May '12

A spammer claiming to be '"Tim Saarela" <tim.saarela(a)dovecot.fi>' is sending out a pitch for "Enterprise Level Support" for Dovecot. The address of mine which he hit is only ever used for this mailing list, so it is clear that whatever the mechanism, this list is being harvested for commercial leads.
