If this is an SMTP relay server, I'm surprised you bothered to install an IMAP server at all. It would have been easier to simply alias postmaster@ to another account on another machine where you do store mailboxes. I.e. simply 'forward' all postmaster mail to you main account and use Sieve to sort all postmaster mail into a folder. This is exactly what I do. It's what a lot of people do, especially those handling many domains, and thus having lots of postmaster addresses. > A question about where the mail is actually supposed to be delivered to... > initially I configured Exim4 to delivery the email to ~/Maildir and I > noticed as you saw in the list directories like ~/Maildir/new and > ~/Maildir/cur, however once I configured Evolution to login to Dovecot I > noticed the directories ~/Maildir/INBOX/new and ~Maildir/INBOX/cur were > created. Should therefore Exim4 be configured to ~/Maildir/INBOX instead of > just ~/Maildir ? Configuration of maildir can be a little confusing the first time around. Given your situation/server, I'm really surprised you didn't use mbox instead. It fits this scenario much better than maildir. > Voila!

Setting up Dovecot LDA with EXIM: http://wiki1.dovecot.org/LDA/Exim You're probably using procmail or maildrop currently. I don't use either of these, so I'm unfamiliar with their setup WRT maildir. Should be pretty straightforward though. > RoundCube still isn't working but I'm not going to worry about that - > Evolution will be cool. Need more details to help with RC. As long as you can establish an IMAP connection to Dovecot, RC is pretty smart about figuring out where everything is even if you don't explicitly tell it. > Thanks for your help - simply confirming one setting helps. Heh, I didn't do much, but you're welcome. Are you planning on migrating all the mailboxes from the old server to this new one? -- Stan

[Dovecot] Having trouble getting Dovecot to read a ~/Maildir configuration
by Murray Collingwood 26 Apr '11

26 Apr '11

Hi folks Setting up a new server, hence a few software packages have been upgraded / changed. On my old server (only 2 years old) I was using Dovecot and RoundCube (web mail app) and had a good experience so was keen to use these again. The only major change is I have switched from sendmail to exim4 (which was installed by default on this Debian server). Exim4 appears to be doing the right thing, however read on and see if you can spot the error. I've tried two email clients, RoundCube (via apache) as a local connection and Evolution as a remote connection. Both appear to login to the Dovecot IMAP connection okay (log entries included further down), although they don't see any email. The INBOX is completely empty. Although when I check out /home/postmaster/Maildir/new it has many messages waiting to be read. It's like Exim4 is delivering the email into the ~/Maildir folder but Dovecot is not seeing it.... I've tried these three combinations in dovecot.conf but they give the same result: #mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir (ie this one I commented the line out to see if Dovecot would work it out automatically) mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir (I think this one should work) mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir:LAYOUT=fs (Now I'm just desperate and will try anything) The dovecot log gives no indication of any errors: This is the version I am running - it was the default version for Debian installed via apt-get: 2011-04-21 08:55:22 dovecot: Info: Dovecot v1.2.15 starting up (core dumps disabled) This connection is using Evolution email client on Linux: 2011-04-21 08:40:05 imap-login: Info: Login: user=<postmaster>, method=PLAIN, rip=122.148.149.28, lip=202.125.41.111 This connection is using roundcube via apache on the same server: 2011-04-21 08:40:41 imap-login: Info: Login: user=<postmaster>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured 2011-04-21 08:40:41 IMAP(postmaster): Info: Disconnected: Logged out bytes=39/443 And finally a look at the ~/Maildir content for my "postmaster" user: root@ds5683:/etc/dovecot# ls -al /home/postmaster/Maildir total 148 drwx------ 6 postmaster postmaster 4096 Apr 21 08:55 . drwxr-xr-x 3 postmaster postmaster 4096 Apr 19 08:12 .. drwx------ 2 postmaster postmaster 12288 Apr 21 08:40 cur -rw------- 1 postmaster postmaster 89088 Apr 21 08:40 dovecot.index.cache -rw------- 1 postmaster postmaster 2376 Apr 21 08:40 dovecot.index.log -rw------- 1 postmaster postmaster 5208 Apr 21 08:40 dovecot-uidlist -rw------- 1 postmaster postmaster 8 Apr 21 08:55 dovecot-uidvalidity -rw------- 1 postmaster postmaster 0 Apr 21 08:34 dovecot-uidvalidity.4daf5f73 drwx------ 5 postmaster postmaster 4096 Apr 21 08:56 INBOX drwx------ 2 postmaster postmaster 12288 Apr 21 09:39 new drwx------ 2 postmaster postmaster 4096 Apr 21 09:39 tmp So, can somebody help me get Dovecot to recognise the messages in this mailbox please? You can suggest anything you like.... upgrades, conf changes, low level formating of HDD... at this stage I'm ready to try anything!

Hi all I hope to get some help on the separator. I am sure that I hava a wrong understanding what the separator is. I thaught the separator is the delimiter within the imap folder structure. For example: Imap folder structure: folder Flights, subfolder Lufthansa If the delimiter is . the ls a command should result: .Flights .Flights.Lufthansa If delimiter is / Flights Flights/Lufthansa I tried several delimiters but only the . Works. My dovecot.conf file: mail_location = maildir:/vmail/%d/%n namespace { type = private separator = / location = maildir:/vmail/%d/%n inbox = yes subscriptions = yes } I would appreciate any help Mit freundlichem Gruß Carsten Laun-De Lellis Dipl.-Ing.

[Dovecot] sieve & plus addressing
by Jerry 22 Apr '11

22 Apr '11

Assume and e-mail address of: me+dovecot(a)domain.com I have a sieve script that sorts mail into the appropriate folders using "+" addressing. I want to extend it to also work with mailing list like this one. A post from the dovecot forum arrives with a Delivered-To: me+dovecot(a)domain.com when I receive it. The "To" is to dovecot. I cannot figure out a way to get sieve to filter on the "Delivered-To" portion rather than the "To" portion using plus addressing. There are several other names; i.e, john, joe, bill, nancy, etcetera that would have the plus suffix of (in this scenario anyway) dovecot. Filtering on each individual address would be a real PIA. I believe it is not supported though. EXAMPLE: This works fine when filtering on the "To" attribute: Assuming email address: me+dovecot(a)domain.com ## Plus Addressing if envelope :detail "To" "dovecot" {fileinto "Dovecot"; stop;} Unfortunately, I cannot substitute the "Delivered-To" attribute in place of the "To" one. I know and currently do sort based on the "List-ID" attribute; however, I have other reasons for wanting to sort only on the delivery address. Is there anyway to actually incorporate the plus addressing feature with the delivery address? -- Jerry ✌ Dovecot.user(a)seibercom.net Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.

[Dovecot] the right way to delete mailbox/user home
by Davide Vaghetti 21 Apr '11

21 Apr '11

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear list, we are using dovecot with mdbox to provide mail services for a community of 1000 academic users. We have quite a big turnover of guest users, so we often have to deprovision the allocated resources, that is the mailboxes. Given that the users are virtual, and that the mdbox directory is located in the home directory of each virtual user (static userdb), is it ok to simply delete (rm -rf) the home directory to get rid of the mailbox? Could the delete, without say a dovecot reload, be harmful for dovecot processes and the like? thanks davide - -- Dott.

[Dovecot] Running mailfront under dovecot2.x service supervision
by Uffe Jakobsen 21 Apr '11

21 Apr '11

Hello, Hello, I'm trying to run mailfront SMTP (http://untroubled.org/mailfront/) under Dovecot 2.x process/service supervision My intention was to utilize the fact that dovecot2.x seems to have some kind of generic process/service supervision as well as builtin ssl support. But I cannot get the most simple generic service setup (without ssl) to work. Currently running dovecot 2.0.11 on FreeBSD 8.1 service smtp-auth { executable = /usr/local/bin/smtpfront-qmail inet_listener smtp-auth { port = 587 ssl = no } } I have added the above to dovecot.conf Once I start dovecot everything seems fine - no errors in the log But at the first attempt to telnet to localhost port 587 - I instantly get the indication of never ending forks in the dovecot log (see below) - neither do I get the SMTP prompt that I expected in my telnet session - it just hangs. Apr 19 10:05:34 smtp-auth: Error: mailfront[43539]: bytes in: 0 bytes out: 29 Apr 19 10:05:34 smtp-auth: Error: mailfront[43541]: bytes in: 0 bytes out: 29 Apr 19 10:05:34 smtp-auth: Error: mailfront[43543]: bytes in: 0 bytes out: 29 Apr 19 10:05:34 smtp-auth: Error: mailfront[43545]: bytes in: 0 bytes out: 29 Question is if I've misconfigured something or if it is impossible to utilize dovecot2.x this way ? PS: Now I know that I could use daemontools or such for this task - but I like the dovecot ssl handling and would like to end up by wrapping this smtp service inside same dovecot ssl that I use for IMAPS. Any feedback is more than welcome - I'm stuck Thanks in advance Uffe -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Running-mailfront-under-dovecot2.x-service-supervisio… Sent from the Dovecot mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Dovecot] Umask of Homedir
by Francisco Wagner C. Freire 20 Apr '11

20 Apr '11

Hello, I following the instrucions of: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Permissions When the user receive the first mail, dovecot create the directory structure always using mode 0700, if i change the permission of the user maildir all new mails arrived get the correct umask: dovecot: lmtp(24960, *): Debug: Namespace INBOX.: Using permissions from .../maildir: mode=0770 The problem is: I need to all accounts have the permission 0770. Tried to use the option: mail_access_groups but doesn't work at all when the first creation of the user path. "For example a simple way to set up shared mailbox access for all system users is to make all mail dirs/files 0770/0660 mode and owned by group "sharedmail" and then set mail_access_groups=sharedmail. Using more fine grained groups of course leaks less mail data in case there's a security hole in Dovecot" Is a bug?

[Dovecot] help with MYSQL and dovecot
by Littlefield, Tyler 20 Apr '11

20 Apr '11

Hello all: I understand I can't provide to much information; at the moment, I do not have dovecot installed. Here is the problem. I started out running saslauthd, but there appears to be a problem where memory isn't freed after someone fails to authenticate, which leads to a huge dos attack. I hit this problem a couple of times, and it looks like some poor lonely soul (or bot, as it may be) with no life decided to go after my server again today. I had previously tried to configure dovecot, but I have an odd mysql setup, so it was particularly dificult. I am leaving out of town tomorrow afternoon and will not have internet, so I want to make sure this is going to be running as it should be. Here is the info from the dovecot configuration file for mysql. It was giving an error about "username" when I tried to run this. If someone can't spot the problem from this, I will disable courier and reinstall dovecot tonight so I can get the exact error. userdb static { args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/home/vmail/%d/%n password_query = select email as user, password,\ home AS userdb_home, uid AS userdb_uid, gid AS userdb_gid \ from users where email = '%u' user_query = \ SELECT home AS userdb_home, uid AS userdb_uid, gid AS userdb_gid \ FROM users WHERE email = '%n'; } And here is the describe for both tables: mysql> describe users; +----------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +----------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | email | varchar(80) | NO | PRI | NULL | | | password | varchar(20) | NO | | NULL | | +----------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec) -- mysql> describe domains; +--------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +--------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | domain | varchar(50) | NO | PRI | NULL | | +--------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ 1 row in set (0.01 sec) Thanks, Ty

[Dovecot] Debug new emails?
by Beto Moreno 20 Apr '11

20 Apr '11

Hi guys. I would like to debug all the new emails arrive to the users mailbox, I have some issue with 1 users that claim that is losing some important emails. The issue that I are not logging to much info in dovecot, I had read the mail_log plugin wiki is not difficult to setup. I want to see went the users receive the new emails, because postfix have the log that say" "sent" from the envelop to the issue user, but I the user say that he didn't receive the email, check his emails and is true I didn't see those 2 emails that postfix send to the user mailbox. I check my spam server and is not blocking that envelop, the spam is not causing this. I'm using Centos 5.4 Postfix 2.3.x Dovecot 1.0.x,but reading mail_log plugin say that we need 1.2.x, can I still use this plugin or I have other options? Thanks!!!

[Dovecot] expire-tool skipping mailbox
by Alex Reinhart 20 Apr '11

20 Apr '11

Hello, I have dovecot set up with expire-tool to nuke Junk messages greater than 30 days old. On a server with many user accounts, it seems to work on most of them. However, on my user account, expire-tool skips my Junk folder entirely, despite it containing messages from January of this year. Here is the expire-tool --test output: Info: alex(a)scienceforums.net/Junk: timestamp 1284027481 (Thu Sep 9 05:18:01 2010) -> 1304023056 (Thu Apr 28 15:37:36 2011) Then it skips to the next mailbox. (Note that I intentionally set the timestamp back to force it to consider my mailbox.) I don't understand why it doesn't want to expunge my 2700 junk messages when it will expunge several thousand in other accounts happily. The expire plugin has been enabled for probably over a year, so all of the messages should be tracked. My only hypothesis is that it has something to do with variables in the mail_location; however, mail_location should be overridden by a user_query, though that contains variables too. Would this account for the issue? It seems unlikely, since other users on the server work just fine. dovecot -n output for the interested: # 1.2.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-24-server x86_64 Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS ext3 base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/ log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: managesieve imaps pop3s listen(default): *:143 listen(imap): *:143 listen(pop3): *:110 listen(managesieve): * ssl_listen(default): *:993 ssl_listen(imap): *:993 ssl_listen(pop3): *:995 ssl_listen(managesieve): 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_executable(managesieve): /usr/lib/dovecot/managesieve-login first_valid_uid: 150 last_valid_uid: 150 mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%u mbox_write_locks: fcntl dotlock mail_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 mail_executable(managesieve): /usr/lib/dovecot/managesieve mail_plugins(default): quota imap_quota expire mail_plugins(imap): quota imap_quota expire mail_plugins(pop3): quota expire mail_plugins(managesieve): 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 mail_plugin_dir(managesieve): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/managesieve lda: mail_plugins: quota sieve expire postmaster_address: postmaster(a)xyloid.org sendmail_path: /usr/lib/sendmail auth_socket_path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master sieve_global_path: /etc/dovecot/sieve.global auth default: user: nobody passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 432 user: vmail group: mail plugin: quota: dict:user::proxy::quotadict quota_rule: *:storage=1G quota_rule2: Trash:storage=10%% quota_rule3: Junk:ignore sieve: /var/vmail/%d/%n/dovecot.sieve expire: Trash 7 Trash/* 7 Junk 30 expire_dict: proxy::expire dict: quotadict: mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-quota.conf expire: mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-expire.conf And dovecot-dict-expire.conf: connect = host=localhost dbname=mail user=mail password=[password] map { pattern = shared/expire/$user/$mailbox table = expires value_field = expire_stamp fields { username = $user mailbox = $mailbox } } Thanks. - Alex Reinhart

[Dovecot] sieve-test ignores precedence and other for vacation
by Burckhard Schmidt 20 Apr '11

20 Apr '11

Hello, I'm using pigeonhole-0.2.3, it works fine. I tried to verify some build in checks of vacation concerning precedence or auto-submitted header lines. It looks like sieve-test ignores header lines like Auto-Submitted: auto-submitted Precedence: bulk Return-Path: MAILER-DAEMON@... if I have a vacation script like require ["vacation", "regex", "fileinto", "variables", "envelope"]; if allof (header :regex ["to"] ["address1", "address2"], header :matches "to" "*") { vacation :days 7 : ... "text"; } The email to test contains a line like Precedence: bulk or Return-Path: <MAILER-DAEMON@...> or Auto-Submitted: yes sieve-test -D -C script.sieve mail I get Performed actions: * send vacation message: => seconds : 604800 ... text of vacation message END MESSAGE Implicit keep: * store message in folder: INBOX sieve-test(root): Info: final result: success -- Regards --- Burckhard Schmidt

[Dovecot] Question about Outlook workarounds
by Michael Durket 19 Apr '11

19 Apr '11

Do the Outlook workarounds in Dovecot 1.x still apply to current versions of Outlook? Or has Microsoft fixed Outlook such that workarounds are no longer needed in Dovecot (and if so, after what version of Outlook can I remove the workaround settings in my dovecot.conf file)?

Hello, does anybody have experience with delivery of double attachments into Outlook? I suppose that this would be a problem of Outlook 2010 but to be sure I'd like to ask here as we are using Dovecot 2.0.11 Best Regards Ladislav

The attachment made the message too long for the forum. So I canceled the original. If you want the Sun article, you can google 05071387.pdf. The original went through to Martin.

I've got things working now so that I can build applications with the openssl built by Sun to tap into the cryptographic accelerators on the T2. It turns out that the /opt/coolstack stuff related to openssl is actually symlinks to /usr/sfw. So, in the Makefile, if I set the openssl directory to /usr/sfw, rather than the default /usr/local/openssl, it finds the includes, the libraries, and the binaries that are needed. Then I specifically point the certs directory (in the Makefile) to /usr/local/openssl/certs for local control. Then, for the example of uw-imap, everything builds just fine. This should simply apply to anything we need to build with openssl on any of the T5220s. One side note is that this was a custom Makefile. Applications that use ./configure would presumably find the openssl through the paths provided in /usr/local/src/env. In the process of figuring that out, I also found that one of the most recent Solaris 10 kernel patches that we have on imladris specifically addresses awareness of the crypto accelerators and included patches to the openssl related items in /usr/sfw. So, I'm pretty confident that everything is alright. It's interesting too that in the paper presented at ACM by Sun last year they said that a couple of classes of attacks on crypto processes were negated by running it directly on the CPU. One of them had to do with timing. I should forward that paper to you as well. OK, just attached it. -- --------------- Chris Hoogendyk - O__ ---- Systems Administrator c/ /'_ --- Biology& Geology Departments (*) \(*) -- 140 Morrill Science Center ~~~~~~~~~~ - University of Massachusetts, Amherst <hoogendyk(a)bio.umass.edu> --------------- Erdös 4

[Dovecot] Solaris hardware crypto engines

Hello, I tried to find out how about to use the hardware crypto engines under Solaris (Sun Fire T2000). It seems, that its not just a compilation issue: > For operations that are to be offloaded, it is necessary to restrict use to subset > of OpenSSL functions (the EVP_ functions) and explicitly indicate the use of the PKCS11 > engine; something like the following works for bulk ciphers (the process for RSA is similar): > > ENGINE *e; > ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(); > e = ENGINE_by_id("pkcs11"); > ENGINE_set_default_ciphers(e); > EVP_CIPHER_CTX_init (&ctx); > EVP_EncryptInit (&ctx, EVP_des_cbc (), key, iv); > EVP_EncryptUpdate (.....); Since I'm not familiar with SSL programming, I wonder if it's possible to modify the dovecot 1.2.x source code. Maybe someone has already tried this or can give me hint. Regards. Martin
