[Dovecot] Duplicate Email with Dovecot Sieve
by Holden Hao 22 Aug '11

22 Aug '11

I am trying to use Dovecot Sieve after upgrading Dovecot from 1.0.15 to 1.2.17. I used the same config file from the old version but I added some entries to make sieve work. In my initial tests, sieve works and is able to do the actions that I set it to do. However, I get 2 copies of incoming emails. The inbox would always preserve a copy even if the sieve filter is set to transfer emails to another folder or redirect it to another address. The logs do not seem to report any issues. I don't know what causes the problem and I would appreciate some pointers. Here are some more details of my setup: OS: Linux 2.6.24.2 Dovecot: 1.2.17 Dovecot Sieve:0.1.19 Manage Sieve:0.11.13 MTA: Qmail 1.03 dovecot -n ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- # 1.2.17: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.24.2 i686 Debian lenny/sid log_path: /var/log/dovecot.log log_timestamp: protocols: imap pop3 imaps pop3s managesieve ssl_cert_file: /var/dir/etc/certificates/server.crt ssl_key_file: /var/dir/etc/certificates/server.key disable_plaintext_auth: 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_executable(managesieve): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/managesieve-login login_greeting: Welcome login_process_size: 32 verbose_proctitle: yes first_valid_uid: 1000 mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir mail_debug: yes 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_executable(managesieve): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/managesieve mail_plugins(default): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(imap): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(pop3): quota mail_plugins(managesieve): 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 mail_plugin_dir(managesieve): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/managesieve imap_client_workarounds(default): outlook-idle imap_client_workarounds(imap): outlook-idle imap_client_workarounds(pop3): imap_client_workarounds(managesieve): pop3_uidl_format(default): %08Xu%08Xv pop3_uidl_format(imap): %08Xu%08Xv pop3_uidl_format(pop3): UID%u-%v pop3_uidl_format(managesieve): %08Xu%08Xv managesieve_logout_format(default): bytes=%i/%o managesieve_logout_format(imap): bytes=%i/%o managesieve_logout_format(pop3): bytes=%i/%o managesieve_logout_format(managesieve): bytes ( in=%i : out=%o ) namespace: type: private separator: . prefix: INBOX. location: maildir:~/Maildir inbox: yes list: yes subscriptions: yes lda: postmaster_address: postmaster(a)xxxxxxxxxx.org mail_plugin_dir: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lda mail_plugins: quota sieve sendmail_path: /var/qmail/bin/sendmail log_path: /var/log/dovecot-deliver-errors.log info_log_path: /var/log/dovecot-deliver.log auth default: verbose: yes passdb: driver: checkpassword args: /var/qmail/bin/auth_pop userdb: driver: prefetch plugin: quota: maildir sieve: ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir: ~/sieve -------------------------------------------------------------------- from: dovecot-deliver.log -------------------------------------------------------------------- deliver(user): Info: Loading modules from directory: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lda deliver(user): Info: Module loaded: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lda/lib10_quota_plugin.so deliver(user): Info: Module loaded: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lda/lib90_sieve_plugin.so deliver(user): Info: Quota root: name= backend=maildir args= deliver(user): Info: Namespace: type=private, prefix=INBOX., sep=., inbox=yes, hidden=no, list=1, subscriptions=yes deliver(user): Info: maildir: data=/home/user/Maildir deliver(user): Info: maildir++: root=/home/user/Maildir, index=, control=, inbox=/home/user/Maildir deliver(user): Info: sieve: using sieve path for user's script: /home/user/.dovecot.sieve deliver(user): Info: sieve: opening script /home/user/.dovecot.sieve deliver(user): Info: sieve: executing compiled script /home/user/.dovecot.sieve deliver(user): Info: sieve: msgid=< CAJNnNYmQpmEopFfT3+_qHvXYxf3v-4bzv9ojJqGfRtcddnTg8g(a)mail.gmail.com>: stored mail into mailbox 'Inbox.Test' Thanks in advance for your replies.

[Dovecot] Dovecot 1.2.16 and Thunderbird 5 - pop3 mails not getting deleted
by Ian Evans 22 Aug '11

22 Aug '11

I run a Dovecot 1.2.16 pop3 server and have just started using the Thunderbird 5 email client. Thunderbird is set to leave the messages on the server unless they are over 91 days old. However, I'm not seeing it delete any of the older messages. I'll run a debug run of Thunderbird when I get back home, but I'm just wondering if there's any gotcha's I should be aware of with Thunderbird and Dovecot in a pop3 environment. The Thunderbird folks are wondering if it's the server not the client. Thanks.

Upgrading to Dovecot2 would allow you to solve this in various ways: - use "doveadm force-resync" - user director to bind to a particular server You could put the indices on a shared filesystem. If neither an update nor shared indices are feasible, maybe you can enable the master user feature, and run a script that logs in as each user and do an IMAP operation that will force a resync of the INBOX indices. For example, # On IMAP server with a localhost interface for u in $users; do echo "1 login $u*master masterpw\n2 SELECT INBOX\n3 logout" | \ nc 127.0.0.1 143 done Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

[Dovecot] Sharing all mailboxes and userdb LDAP attrs
by Felipe Scarel 19 Aug '11

19 Aug '11

Hello all, I'm setting up a Dovecot environment here, version 1.2.15 on Debian 6.0.2 "squeeze". This is actually a complete revamp of the previous setup we have in-place here, built from the ground up with updated versions of all involved software. The operators have told me that they use some scripts hacked up by a previous sysadmin to give a single "admin" account full access to all user mail. That is, if any user runs into problems, they: 1. Call in; 2. The operator logs in as the admin user; 3. Operator performs maintenance duties on user email. I've been researching the possibility of using Dovecot shared namespaces to perform that very same task in a better fashion in this new server. So far, I've been able to globally share users' INBOXes and view them from a single admin account (through user= entries on global acl's). My ultimate goal, however, is to have access to all user mailboxes with any user that's a member of a particular group, adding all operators to that group as needed. - - - - - First question, then, is this one: how can I give global access to all user mailboxes? I've read that it's possible to give access to all subfolders of a particular folder throught the use of a .DEFAUL acl. That didn't seem to work with the uppermost directory, however. Here's what I tried: root@mail:/etc/dovecot# dovecot -a | grep acl: acl: vfile:/etc/dovecot/acl:cache_secs=300 root@mail:/etc/dovecot# cat acl/.DEFAULT owner lrwstipekxa user=admin lrwstipekxa Renaming .DEFAULT to INBOX does achieve the intended goal, but only for the INBOX folder evidently. - - - - - Second question is somewhat simpler. So far I've been using a single admin user, but I'd like to switch to using an admin group in the future. I've read that the best way to do that would be to use the user_attrs entry in my dovecot-ldap.conf file, while using a userdb ldap. The groups should be strings separated by commas in the appropriate attribute, from what I understand. Is there any readily-available or recommended schema I can use to fill up that attribute? I'm using the default ones (plus samba.schema) but I've seen mostly space to fit GID's, not group names. Thanks in advance, fbscarel PS: Here's my dovecot -a output, should it be needed. - - - - - root@mailaluno:~# dovecot -a # 1.2.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 x86_64 Debian

Hi, has anyone figured out how to use the dovecot-antispam plugin with sa-learn? I need to pass the username (user(a)domain.tld) to sa-learn and --ham or --spam depending on the move. I was thinking of using the CRM14 option and replace the command and arguments but cannot find anything about the ability to pass the username. Any pointers would be welcome. N.

[Dovecot] May Dovecot help in users education
by Alexandre Chapellon 18 Aug '11

18 Aug '11

Hello, I was wondering if dovecot could help me in my project to smoothly make all my users switch to TLS encrypted POP / IMAP sessions and forget about cleartext. My first idea was to setup dovecot as a POP/IMAP proxy for my mailhosts and ask dovecot to display a warning message or slowdown non TLS sessions. Is there any way to achieve this with dovecot? Does anybody have another idea smoothly force used to switch to TLS? Regards. -- <http://www.horoa.net>

[Dovecot] Slackware Dovecot recompile with SSL/TLS question
by CopalFreak 16 Aug '11

16 Aug '11

I am having some problems and was told to ask in this list to try and get some help. When asking elsewhere, I was told that I was too verbose, so I'll try to be as brief as possible, while still including all the pertinent info. Slackware 13.1.0 Dovecot 2.0.8 Postfix 2.4.3 MySQL (virtual users) Spamassassin 3.3.1 ClamAV 0.97.1 (without Amavis) Have wild-card SSL certs and CA from GoDaddy ##"postconf -a" >> cyrus >> dovecot I compiled Dovecot without SASL support and need to re-compile it WITH SASL support, but I don't want to mess up my existing configuration. (I have it the way I want it as far as where it's installed, where the conf files are located, UID, GID settings, etc.) Dovecot 2.0.13 is out and I would prefer to use the newer version assuming it doesn't have any problems that would prevent me from using it. Is there a way to re-compile (or upgrade) so that it doesn't change any of my existing settings? I would like to be able to bring it down, do upgrade, maybe copy some config files over the defaults etc, and bring it all back up within a few minutes instead of a week of tweaking and fixing stuff. Is there a way to do something like this : stop dovecot backup all dovecot conf files ./configure CPPFLAGS=-I/path/to/openssl LDFLAGS=-L/path/to/openssl --config_dir /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf (or something like that..not sure what it actually is) make sudo make install edit conf files to point to SSL certs start dovecot IN CASE anything goes wrong, copy old config files back and restart dovecot to make it go back the way it was (only it's using the new 2.0.13 version) any suggestions and/or tips on how-to do this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I'm running dovecot 1.2.16 from the ports collection on FreeBSD 8.1-STABLE, amd64. I've long been getting the following in my logs, seemingly at random (so, only sometimes), when I access or move mail into mboxes: Aug 16 00:43:58 myhost dovecot: IMAP(mike): mbox /home/mike/mail/feedback: seq=88 uid=91 uid_broken=0 originally needed 0 bytes, now needs 18446744073709551615 bytes Whatever I'm trying to do always succeeds, but apparently dovecot is confused about something. That number (2^64-1) suggests it has to do with the amd64 architecture. Did a compile option get overlooked? Let me know if there's anything I need to do to get rid of these warnings. Thanks, Mike

Hi, I have been trying to set up Apache2, Postfix, Dovecot, openLDAP and squirrelmail on my Ubuntu Server 10.04 machine. The idea is to make use of the LDAP to authenticate users to login to squirrelmail to send/receive emails. I have been using the link - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix/DovecotLDAP, as a guide to get it all set up. I have checked the status for postfix and dovecot, and they both are up and running by using telnet. I have even installed openldapadmin to check and see if I've got the ldap working. I could login to openldapadmin and saw myself there with uid=msmith. I have also installed squirrelmail as my webmail. After all that installed, I went to localhost/squirrelmail on the firefox browser. It would not log me in. Later I found in the /var/log/dovecot-deliver.log file, I saw the following messages dovecot: Info: Dovecot v1.2.9 starting up (core dumps disabled) imap-login: Info: Aborted login (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=<msmith>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured imap-login: Info: Aborted login (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=<msmith(a)mycompany.com.au>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured imap-login: Info: Aborted login (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=<mike.smith(a)mycompany.com.au>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured I tried to login with three different usernames but none worked as shown above in the log file.

[Dovecot] Last login script
by Munroe Sollog 15 Aug '11

15 Aug '11

I am trying to implement a last login script, however I seem to be having lots of issues. We started with sqlite but we were having locking issues, so we moved to postgresql which seems to have alleviated database specific issues, but now people are complaining about randomly not being able to log in. I don't see any real errors in the logs (dovecot or postgresql) to explain their complaints though, all I am really getting is "Connection closed" here is the log line of a failed attempt (with debug output): http://pastebin.com/5RFgVa8V and here is what we are running as the 'mail executable': http://pastebin.com/L0ibyqSQ Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
