[Dovecot] Webmail architecture : questions about cache and storage backend
by forumer＠smartmobili.com 22 Sep '11

22 Sep '11

Hi, I have some questions about dovecot-2.1 and need some advice about software architecture. My company plans to develop a kind of Document Managing System (DMS) and one of its module is a webmail that is currently in a pre-alpha stage (if you are curious you can have a look here http://kairos.smartmobili.com/ but don't be surprised if it doesn't work and please do not use IE for now). From my personal analysis that I am sure is incomplete we have the following options to handle emails storage and cache: 1) Do not use a cache and rely on dovecot performance to retrieve email's header in real time. Actually don't know if it's that simple because we might need to have a transformed version of emails to be able to display them more easily in the webmail. In this case this option is not really possible. 2) Use new dovecot-2.1 imap backend and develop a kind of dummy imap server listening to a custom port and storing emails inside a mongoDB database. Advantage is it allow replication very easily. 3) Wait for dovecot2.x to implement a NoSQL storage. Will it happen soon ? If you have other suggestions or ideas I would be happy to hear them.

[Dovecot] Help restoring imap mail
by Knute Johnson 22 Sep '11

22 Sep '11

My mailserver blew up today with a power hit. I've created a new server and have dovecot running and I want to restore my mail. I have a copy of the file that was in /var/mail. I set the new dovecot config up the same as the old one and copied the mail file over. I can see the INBOX mail but none of the rest of it. I'm running 1.2.15 under Ubuntu server 11.04. I'm using Thunderbird as my client running on XP. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, -- Knute Johnson

[Dovecot] Sieve: Vacation, handle and variable
by René Neumann 21 Sep '11

21 Sep '11

Hi *, I am adding a generic way for vacation-replies in my sieve setup. There I set the handle and the reason using variables (see end of mail). My simple question now is: Though variable expansion is not done for subject and reason, is it done for the handle? Because else there seems no way in configuring the vacation action via variables. I tried to read the code for this extension, but ... well ... the whole sieve implementation is way more complicated then I figured ^^. Thus I take the question to the list. Thanks, René ----- default.sieve ----- require [..., "include", "variables"]; # set this to the text you want to get included in the vacation-mail global ["vacation", "vhandle"]; set "vhandle" ""; set "vacation" ""; [...] include :personal "vacation"; ----- vacation.sieve ----- require ["variables", "include", "vacation"]; # this is set in the including script global ["vacation", "vhandle"]; if string :is "${vacation}" "" { return; } # ensure we have a handle if string :is "${vhandle}" "" { set "vhandle" "${vacation}"; } if header :matches "subject" "*" { set "sbj" "Out of office [was: ${1}]"; vacation :addresses [...] :from "..." :days 7 :handle "${vhandle}" :subject "${sbj}" "${vacation}"; } -------------------------

[Dovecot] About using Dovecot indexes with Thunderbird/kmail
by Anton Aylward 21 Sep '11

21 Sep '11

I have Dovecot running well on my Mandriva mail hub, handing out IMAP to the household LAN. This is 1.2.15. Eventually I'll upgrade the OS and get 2.x, but this is working fine. So this question is really about the mail readers I use and how they make use of Dovecot. I have Thunderbird on my laptop and KMail2 on my desktop. Dovecot indexes. GOOD! The trouble is that the mail readers want their own indexes :-( I wish that Thunderbird would NOT index mail on my laptop, but it does. I wish Kmail2 would not use nepomuk/akonadi to index the mail but it does. Why can't they both believe the indexes used by Dovecot? Is this an unreasonable request? -- "We stand behind all of our products, except for the manure spreader." -- Corporate motto of an equipment manufacturer

Hi all, Long story short, I'd like to configure a folder containing: INBOX (some other folders) -> unseen emails from these folders + all other emails (also seen) from the same thread -> seen emails from these folders, but only the recent ones + all other emails from the same thread I tried: # inthread refs (or (or recent unseen) recent ) inthread refs unseen # inthread refs (or unseen ( recent seen) ) # inthread refs recent unseen # inthread refs unseen #inthread refs recent (or unseen ) # inthread refs (recent seen (or unseen )) # (inthread refs (or unseen) recent seen) #( inthread refs (or (or recent unseen) flagged) ) without success.

[Dovecot] Default permissions on newly created maildir
by Alex 20 Sep '11

20 Sep '11

Hi Guys, I am setting up SQL auth for mail. Auth works fine, I notice that if no maildir exists for the authenticated user, it is created automatically (depending on the homedir specified in the sql table entry). The problem is that it creates the dir with "700" permissions which is causing grief for my MTA when it comes time for it to try and drop mail there. If I chmod the dir to 770 things work fine. How do I change the default permissions that dovecot uses whenever it creates a new mail account?

[Dovecot] Deleted mailboxes with lazy_expunge
by Angel L. Mateo 19 Sep '11

19 Sep '11

Hello, I'm trying to configure lazy_expunge plugin (as a way to provide easy backup for mails). This is my configuration (as explained in dovecot wiki): # Default namespace namespace { prefix = separator = / inbox = yes } # namespaces for lazy_expunge plugin: namespace { prefix = .EXPUNGED/ separator = / location = maildir:~/Maildir/expunged } namespace { prefix = .DELETED/ separator = / location = maildir:~/Maildir/deleted } namespace { prefix = .DELETED/.EXPUNGED/ separator = / location = maildir:~/Maildir/deleted/expunged lazy_expunge = .EXPUNGED/ .DELETED/ .DELETED/.EXPUNGED/ I use just one namespace because I don't want to differentiate between deleting mails or deleting mailboxes, but I have the same problem using the 3 namespaces. With this configuration, when a user connects, if he doesn't have the expunged folder, dovecot logs: Sep 16 10:53:35 myotis30 dovecot: imap(angel.luis): Debug: Namespace : type=private, prefix=.EXPUNGED/, sep=/, inbox=no, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes location=maildir:~/Maildir/expunged Sep 16 10:53:35 myotis30 dovecot: imap(angel.luis): Debug: maildir++: root=/home/alumnos/46/113246/Maildir/expunged, index=, control=, inbox= Sep 16 10:53:35 myotis30 dovecot: imap(angel.luis): Debug: Namespace .EXPUNGED/: Permission lookup failed from /home/alumnos/46/113246/Maildir/expunged Sep 16 10:53:35 myotis30 dovecot: imap(angel.luis): Debug: Namespace .EXPUNGED/: Using permissions from /home/alumnos/46/113246/Maildir/expunged: mode=0700 gid=-1 and the expunged folder is created (without the cur, new neither tmp folders).

But when I try to delete a whole imap folder (in the example I delete it from trash folder because I use thunderbird and it previously move the folder to trash), dovecot logs: Sep 16 11:45:46 myotis30 dovecot: imap(angel.luis): Debug: Namespace .DELETED/: Using permissions from /home/alumnos/46/113246/Maildir/deleted: mode=0700 gid=-1 Sep 16 11:45:46 myotis30 dovecot: imap(angel.luis): Debug: Namespace .DELETED/: Permission lookup failed from /home/alumnos/46/113246/Maildir/deleted/.Trash.kk-20110916-114546 Sep 16 11:45:46 myotis30 dovecot: imap(angel.luis): Debug: Namespace .DELETED/: Using permissions from /home/alumnos/46/113246/Maildir/deleted: mode=0700 gid=-1 Sep 16 11:45:46 myotis30 dovecot: imap(angel.luis): Debug: Namespace .DELETED/: Permission lookup failed from /home/alumnos/46/113246/Maildir/deleted/.Trash.kk-20110916-114546 Sep 16 11:45:46 myotis30 dovecot: imap(angel.luis): Debug: Namespace .DELETED/: Using permissions from /home/alumnos/46/113246/Maildir/deleted: mode=0700 gid=-1 and my mail client reports the error "[CANNOT] Can't rename mailboxes accross specified storages" and the mail folder isn't created in the DELETED namespace.

[Dovecot] default_pass_scheme = PLAIN and blank password
by Gary V 18 Sep '11

18 Sep '11

I'm using Dovecot 1.2.15 on Ubuntu, but I think this applies to other versions as well. I store user info and passwords in MySQL. It appears 'default_pass_scheme = PLAIN' allows blank passwords. My question is: Is this a bug or is this by design? If it is by design, is there a setting that I'm not aware of that changes this behavior? Of course let me know if you need additional info on the setup I'm using. Thank you, Gary V

[Dovecot] Auth protocol and XMPP
by Kim Alvefur 17 Sep '11

17 Sep '11

Hello. I've written an authentication backend for the XMPP server Prosody, which makes it use Dovecots auth socket and protocol, and letting the client use any SASL mechanism Dovecot offers. However, setups using the full user@domain as authnid won't work, due to most XMPP clients assuming that the authnid is the localpart. I want to avoid hardcoding it to PLAIN, or otherwise doing MITM/rewrites if possible. (There exists an older auth backend that does just that already) Ideas? -- Kim Alvefur <zash(a)zash.se>

[Dovecot] Detecting duplicate messages with sieve
by Aleksandar Lazic 17 Sep '11

17 Sep '11

Dear Listmember, I use http://www.courier-mta.org/reformail.html for "Detecting duplicate messages" ### The -D option implements a simple way to delete duplicate messages in incoming mail. filename is a file that will be approximately 'len' bytes long. This file will be used by reformail to save message IDs seen in recent mail. reformail reads the message on standard input. If the message has a Message-ID: header that's already in the cache file, reformail terminates with the exit code set to 0. Otherwise, reformail terminates with the exit code set to 1. ### ### my entry in mailfilter `reformail -D 8192 $HOME/.msg.cache` if ($RETURNCODE == 0) { /^From: *!.*/ FROM1=${MATCH2} /^Subject: *!.*/ log "$FROM (${FROM1}) => Not Delivered duplicate MSG-ID. Subject ${MATCH2}\n" exit } ### Is there a similar feature in sieve or can I still use the upper setup? Another question is about to add this header line in every mail. xfilter "${REFORMAIL} -a\"Lines: $LINES\"" Thanks for your help. BR Aleks

Ok, I thought I tested accessing the mailbox afterwards, too - but I probably had not. I have a more general problem now: shared mailboxes from any "non-INBOX" namespace are not available to other users. That's not only with virtual or imapc namespaces, but also tested with two Maildir ones: namespace personal { inbox = yes location = maildir:~/Maildir prefix = INBOX. type = private } namespace second { inbox = no location = maildir:~/Maildir2 prefix = INBOX.second. type = private } namespace others { type = shared separator = . prefix = INBOX.shared.%%u. location = maildir:%%h/Maildir:INDEX=~/Maildir/shared/%%u #location = maildir:/home/%%n/Maildir:INDEX=~/Maildir/shared/%%u subscriptions = no list = children } [...] I can as user1 SETACL INBOX.second.box ~user1/Maildir2/dovecot-acl-list contains "1316082286 box" ~user1/Maildir2/.box/dovecot-acl contains "user=testuser lrs" (as does ~user1/Maildir/.in2007/dovecot-acl) The shared mailboxes dict contains shared/shared-boxes/user/testuser/user1 1 But - as testuser - 0 list "" "*" * LIST (\HasChildren) "." "INBOX" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.test" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.second" * LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "." "INBOX.shared.user1" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.virtual" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.shared.user1.in2007" 0 OK List completed. INBOX.shared.user1.second.box is missing. Also 0 select INBOX.shared.user1.second.box * OK [CLOSED] Previous mailbox closed. 0 NO Mailbox doesn't exist: second.box Log shows then: Sep 15 12:39:48 host dovecot: imap(8796, testuser): Debug: acl vfile: file /etc/dovecot/global-acls/INBOX.shared.user1.second.box not found Sep 15 12:39:48 host dovecot: imap(8796, testuser): Debug: acl vfile: file /home/user1/Maildir/.second.box/dovecot-acl not found ... not searching for the acl file correctly. Thought I tested this with earlier (2.0) versions. Changed group set up inbetween, but this does not seem relevant. Regards, Lutz

I think someone else is responsible for the Debianization of Dovecot, not Timo.
