[Dovecot] Global fields for passwd-file database
by Sergey Urushkin 23 May '11

23 May '11

Is there a way to specify global fields for passwd-file DB? Currently interested in "home" for userdb and "allow_nets" for passworddb. The next doesn't work, of course: passdb passwd-file { args = username_format=%n allow_nets=127.0.0.1 /etc/dovecot/dovecot.passwd.%d } userdb passwd-file { args = username_format=%n home=/var/mail/%d/%n /etc/dovecot/dovecot.passwd.%d } -- Best regards, Sergey Urushkin

[Dovecot] dovecot-antispam dependencies
by Sven Schwyn 22 May '11

22 May '11

Hi There's currently a version block for the dovecot and dovecot-antispam packages in Gentoo. Dependencies indicate that dovecot-2.0.11 does not accept dovecot-antispam-1.3. Is this correct or should it work? If not: How about the current rc of version 1.4? Cheers, -sven

[Dovecot] hardluck w/ sieve
by errno 22 May '11

22 May '11

I've followed the docs here: http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve/Dovecot ... in particular, the 'Per-user Sieve script location' scenario. However, I'm unable to get any behavior that indicates that sieve is functioning correctly - well, functioning _at_all_ would be more accurate. Relevant dovecot.conf: protocol lda { ... mail_plugins = sieve } auth default { ... passdb passwd-file { args = /var/vmail/passwd } userdb static { args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/var/vmail/%d/%u } } plugin { sieve = /var/sieve-scripts/%d/%u.sieve } ls -l /var/sieve-scripts/domain.com/user.sieve -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 224 May 22 00:18 /var/sieve-scripts/domain/user.sieve I of course have an extremely simple rule in the example 'user.sieve' file; but for whatever reasons, no filtering is occurring. Is there anything obvious in my configuration that's broke? How best to debug? Thankyou!

[Dovecot] Behavior difference in mbox versus Maildir listing
by Bruno Prémont 22 May '11

22 May '11

Hi, My MUA (claws-mail) is having a hard time listing directories for a mail account with two namespaces, one of which using mbox and the other one using maildir to store mails. Let's call the namespaces "#mbox." and "#maildir." and have "." as separator. Assume I have the following folder hierarchy: $namespace $namespace folder $namespace folder folder1a $namespace folder folder1b $namespace folder folder1c The resulting IMAPv4 session is: mb1 LIST "" "#mbox.%" * LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "." "#mbox.folder" mb1 OK List completed. mb2 LIST "" "#mbox.folder.%" * LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "." "#mbox.folder." * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "." "#mbox.folder.folder1a" * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "." "#mbox.folder.folder1b" * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "." "#mbox.folder.folder1c" mb2 OK List completed. md1 LIST "" "#maildir.%" * LIST (\HasChildren) "." "#maildir.folder" md1 OK List completed. md2 LIST "" "#maildir.folder.%" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "#maildir.folder.folder1a" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "#maildir.folder.folder1b" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "#maildir.folder.folder1c" md2 OK List completed. Notice the extra presence of listed folder itself with trailing "." in mb2 that has no equivalent in md2! Is this expected listing behavior? If so, why the differing behavior between both storage engines? Affected dovecot versions: at least 1.1.16 and 2.0.11 (installed from Gentoo packages) System is x86 on XFS Thanks, Bruno

[Dovecot] IMAP COMPRESS not announced while using imap_zlib plugin
by Henrik Larsson 21 May '11

21 May '11

I'm trying to enable the IMAP COMPRESS plugin listed here: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Compress I have added zlib globally and imap_zlib to the imap protocol. This is the output from doveconf -n with regards to mail_plugins: --cut-- mail_plugins = zlib protocol imap { mail_plugins = zlib imap_zlib } --cut But it seem like the feature is not announced when connecting to the IMAP server: * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE STARTTLS LOGINDISABLED AUTH=DIGEST-MD5 AUTH=CRAM-MD5] Dovecot ready. I would expect something like COMPRESS=DEFLATE. I haven't enabled any compression for the Maildir files, zlib_save_level and zlib_save is not set. Does IMAP COMPRESS only work if the mailbox is compressed? Best regards Henrik Larsson

I see the same behaviour in 2.0.13, which process tracing of imap shows more clearly (/nfs/user is per user mount, /nfs/home/user is user home bundle) ... 4087: getuid() = 12345 [12345] 4087: chdir("/nfs/test") = 0 4087: stat64("/nfs/home/test/mail", 0xFFBFF6C0) = 0 4087: stat64("/nfs/home/test/mail", 0xFFBFF5A0) = 0 4087: stat64("/nfs/home/test/mail", 0xFFBFF6C0) = 0 ... This happens fairly early after imap-login forks and execs the imap process. I'll see if I can find it after building a debug version, but I think Timo will beat me to this.

[Dovecot] dovecot & OCFS2 Cluster
by Osvaldo Alvarez Pozo 20 May '11

20 May '11

hi all We have an ocfs2 cluster compose of 4 Debian lenny serveurs wich have access to an ISCSI LUN we have create a partition on this Lun and formated this partition as OCFS2. 2 serveurs does mail delivery (SMTP) and the two other are pop/imap servers. The smtp servers use dovecot LDA to deliver to mailboxes. La version de dovecot is 1.2.13, ldirectord balance conexion to the servers(pop/pops/imap/imaps to the two imap/pop serveurs) (smtp to the two smtp servers). this is a part of my dovecot.conf mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%u/Maildir mail_access_groups = mail first_valid_uid = 5000 last_valid_uid = 5000 mail_max_userip_connections = 100 maildir_copy_with_hardlinks = yes disable_plaintext_auth = no dotlock_use_excl=yes mmap_disable = yes protocols = imap imaps pop3 pop3s managesieve protocol imap { mail_plugins = quota imap_quota imap_client_workarounds = outlook-idle delay-newmail } protocol pop3 { mail_plugins = quota pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv } protocol lda { mail_plugins = quota sieve log_path = /var/log/dovecot-deliver.log info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-deliver.log } protocol managesieve { managesieve_implementation_string = dovecot } auth default { mechanisms = plain login passdb sql { args = /etc/dovecot/sql.conf } userdb prefetch { } userdb sql { args = /etc/dovecot/sql.conf } user = nobody socket listen { master { path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode = 0660 user = vmail group = mail } client { path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode = 0660 user = postfix group = mail } We are having severals problems from "cpu stuck for 61 seconds" to "too many connexion". I wonder if there is a configuation type of dovecot when using ocfs2. In tje dovecot site they give advices about how to configure dovecot when using NFS, but not about OCFS2. Somme people say that lda shuld not be used. Any help please? Thanks nebano

[Dovecot] Migrate to new server without raw copy
by Daniel L. Miller 20 May '11

20 May '11

I've setup a new virtual machine to run my mail servers. Dovecot is installed and talking with the LDAP server for the user list. Now the question is how to migrate the data from the old Dovecot to the new. The data is stored in mdbox, with some possible corruption. Accordingly, any form of simple file copy is not the answer - I need the messages to be processed by something and then stored fresh on the new server. I do have NFS access both ways if that does anything. I tried imapsync - but it quickly broke on some of the messages. Is dsync the answer? Or do I use a MUA and drag-n-drop the messages a batch at a time between the servers? -- Daniel

[Dovecot] How to stop mail_executable from cwd to ~home
by Gary Duncan 19 May '11

19 May '11

In our environment home directories are auto-mounted via /home/<user> including on the server provided mail. Within the various mail services though we try to isolate and override with local /mail/home/<user> Works well except that dovecot still wants to cd to the real home triggering a useless and potentially hindering automount when it invokes the imap or pop3 process specified by mail_executable, ie an lsof of the process shows cwd of /home/<user> and the automounted home. It does this even though home is properly overridden within. I suspect this is part of changing to invoke as the user as the *-login process are ok but then they are still running as dovecot. Various recent attempts to explicitly respecify HOME for mail_executable via a wrapper script or using env have been to no avail (as seen below). How can I resolve? And no I don't just want to override /home at the system level.

[Dovecot] v2.0.13 released

19 May '11

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/dovecot-2.0.13.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/dovecot-2.0.13.tar.gz.sig I've almost managed to read my email backlog, but there are still some unanswered mails. Feel free to resend if you think I should have answered some of your mails. The most important changes since v2.0.12: + Added "doveadm index" command to add unindexed messages into index/cache. If full text search is enabled, it also adds unindexed messages to the fts database. + added "doveadm director dump" command. + pop3: Added support for showing messages in "POP3 order", which can be different from IMAP message order. This can be useful for migrations from other servers. Implemented it for Maildir as 'O' field in dovecot-uidlist. - doveconf: Fixed a wrong "subsection has ssl=yes" warning. - mdbox purge: Fixed wrong warning about corrupted extrefs. - sdbox: INBOX GUID changed when INBOX was autocreated, leading to trouble with dsync. - script-login binary wasn't actually dropping privileges to the user/group/chroot specified by its service settings. - Fixed potential crashes and other problems when parsing header names that contained NUL characters.

[Dovecot] integrating procmail

Hello, list members! I'm new to dovecot, and haven't needed to maintain an email server instance for quite some time. I recently got a fairly simple postfix + dovecot installation functional as needed, however I now need to get procmail filtering incoming mail, and after reading various docs and wikis, I find that I'm still having a tough time feeling confident on how best to approach it in the simplest manner. (this is for a small installation.... 10 email accounts, max). Below, I've provide the relevant snippets of my current functional configuration; how best to integrate procmail into the mix? /etc/postfix/main.cf: ... alias_maps = hash:/etc/mail/aliases local_recipient_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/vmailbox, $alias_maps virtual_transport = dovecot virtual_mailbox_domains = $mydomain virtual_mailbox_base = /var/vmail/ virtual_mailbox_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/vmailbox virtual_minimum_uid = 500 virtual_uid_maps = static:501 virtual_gid_maps = static:501 ... /etc/postfix/master.cf: ... dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -f ${sender} - d ${recipient} ... /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf: ... mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir protocol lda { sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail } auth default { mechanisms = plain passdb passwd-file { args = /var/vmail/passwd } userdb static { args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/var/vmail/%d/%u } socket listen { master { path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode = 0600 user = vmail group = vmail } } } ...

[Dovecot] newbie: can not authenticate using dovecot

Hi all, This is the first time I used Dovecot and it's perfectly run : dev# ps ax | grep dove 77332 ?? Ss 0:00.30 /usr/local/sbin/dovecot -c /usr/local/etc/dovecot.con 77333 ??

Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. +OK Dovecot ready. user bogi +OK pass bogi Connection closed by foreign host. Is there something I missed in Dovecot's configuration?

[Dovecot] vacation problem with sieve and sogo
by Pablo Luchetti 18 May '11

18 May '11

Hi, I have a problem with dovecot's sieve and SOGo ( http://www.sogo.nu/ ) I have installed last version of sogo ( 1.3.6) in one virtual machine with ubuntu, lucid. In another virtualmachine with ubuntu jaunty is running dovecot ( 1:1.1.11-0ubuntu4.1 ) When try to activate vacation function, after the "PUTSCRIPT "sogo" command, the manage-sieve answer: NO "Script name 'sogo' is reserved for internal use." And fails. But I found, telneting the mail server on port 2000 that if I change script name, all works fine: SETACTIVE "" OK "No scripts currently active." PUTSCRIPT "prueba" {536+} require ["vacation"]; if allof ( not exists ["list-help", "list-unsubscribe", "list-subscribe", "list-owner", "list-post", "list-archive", "list-id", "Mailing-List"], not header :comparator "i;ascii-casemap" :is "Precedence" ["list", "bulk", "junk"], not header :comparator "i;ascii-casemap" :matches "To" "Multiple recipients of*" ) {vacation :days 1 :addresses ["pluchetti(a)example.org", "pablo.luchetti(a)example.org"] text: hoy es 27 de abril de 2011, y estoy probando el nuevo sogo. 10:40 . ; } redirect "pllis(a)educ.ar"; keep; OK "Putscript completed." SETACTIVE "prueba" OK "Setactive completed." logout OK "Logout completed." Connection closed by foreign host. So, the question is: Why does this happen? How can I fix it ? Any ideas? Here are dovecot's version and config: # dovecot --version 1.1.11 # dovecot -n # 1.1.11: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.28-18-server i686 Ubuntu 9.04 log_path: /var/log/mail/dovecot-msa.log log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: imap imaps pop3 pop3s ssl_cert_file: /etc/ssl/local/WILD.jil_01+CHAIN.crt ssl_key_file: /etc/ssl/private/WILD.jil_01.key 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: JIL mail server ready. first_valid_uid: 106 last_valid_uid: 106 first_valid_gid: 112 last_valid_gid: 112 mail_privileged_group: mail mail_uid: vmail mail_gid: vmail mail_location: maildir:~ mail_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 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 auth default: mechanisms: plain login user: vmailauth passdb: driver: ldap args: /etc/dovecot/ldap-auth-userdb.conf userdb: driver: ldap args: /etc/dovecot/ldap-auth-userdb.conf socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth-client mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 user: vmail group: vmail plugin: sieve: ~/sieve/s0g0.sieve Thanks!!

[Dovecot] IMAP message ID bad for very old message
by a.smith＠ukgrid.net 17 May '11

17 May '11

Hi, I just noticed that the ordering by message ID when accessing my email via IMAP is messed up. I'm looking in the INBOX that contains 11757 emails. For some reason a load of emails from 2009 and 2010 are being listed near the top, for example I have a message with ID 11441 from 2009 where it definitely shouldn't be, its all mixed in with emails from 2011 there. Info from LDAP is: * 11441 FETCH (FLAGS (\Answered \Seen) INTERNALDATE "27-Mar-2009 09:14:10 +0000" RFC822.SIZE 5772 ENVELOPE ("Fri, 27 Mar 2009 09:15:09 -0000" "MyC IP on CBL" (("Patrick XXXXXXXX- XXXXXXXX" NIL "patrick" "XXXXXXXX.co.uk")) (("Patrick XXXXXX- XXXXXXXX" NIL "patrick" "XXXXXXX.co.uk")) (("Patrick xxxxxx - xxxxxxx" NIL "patrick" "XXXXXXXX.co.uk")) (("Andy Smith" NIL "a.smith" "ukgrid.net")) (("Frank XXXXXXX" NIL "frank" "XXXXXXXXXXX.co.uk")(NIL NIL "Tim.XXXXXXXX" "XXXXXX.org")) NIL NIL "<6937D025FA924E73B8C839858C27AEBF@PatrickDesktop>")) I'm using maildir format, and the actual file date looks fine too: -rw-rw---- 1 vmail vmail 5627 Mar 27 2009 1238145250.H86871P67126.mx1.ukgrid.net:2,RS I am testing IMAP via telnet (originally noticed the problem viewing mail via HORDE/IMP). My system is FreeBSD 8.2, Dovecot 2.0.11. What might cause this behaviour? thanks Andy.

[Dovecot] Permission lookup failed with imap
by Alex 17 May '11

17 May '11

Hi all, I'm still trying to troubleshoot my problem with dovecot-2.0.11 and creating "mail/mail" directories for a reason unknown to me, so I enabled mail_debug. It's now printing this: May 15 21:39:33 mail dovecot: imap(gdadmin): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions from /home/gdadmin/mail: mode=0755 gid=-1 May 15 21:39:33 mail dovecot: imap(gdadmin): Debug: Namespace : Permission lookup failed from /home/gdadmin/mail/mail/INBOX. Trash That file (INBOX.Trash) does exist at that location and is readable. It prints that line three times for each of INBOX.Sent, INBOX.Trash, and INBOX.Drafts. Also notice that it is creating /home/user/mail/mail. My mail_location is set to "mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u", so I'm really confused. I really hope someone has some ideas! Thanks so much, Best, Alex
