[Dovecot] --with-PACKAGE is not recognized (dovecot 2.0.rc2)
by Sven Kirmess 10 Jul '10

10 Jul '10

The build process/configure script does not recognize the --with-PACKAGE option. Unfortunately I have no experience with autoconfigure/automake but maybe someone on the list knows how to fix this? I assume it should be an easy fix as most software recognizes the --with-PACKAGE flag. :) This is how I build dovecot: LDFLAGS=-L/opt/openssl \ CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/openssl \ ./configure --prefix=/opt/dovecot-2.0.rc2 --sysconfdir=/etc/opt/dovecot --localstatedir=/var/opt/dovecot --datarootdir=/opt/dovecot-2.0.rc2 --docdir=/opt/dovecot-2.0.rc2/doc --with-rundir=/var/opt/dovecot/run --with-statedir=/var/opt/dovecot/state --with-PACKAGE=no --with-ssl=openssl --with-ssldir=/etc/opt/dovecot; \ /usr/sfw/bin/gmake And I get the following warning: configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --with-PACKAGE Same for --without-PACKAGE: configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --without-PACKAGE This results in dovecot installing in the following wrong directories: /etc/opt/dovecot/dovecot /opt/dovecot-2.0.rc2/include/dovecot /opt/dovecot-2.0.rc2/lib/dovecot /opt/dovecot-2.0.rc2/libexec/dovecot The argument --with-PACKAGE=no should be usable to disable these interemiate dovecot directories which are only useful if you install all software in /usr/local.

[Dovecot] dsync duplicates messages/crashed if a 'large' number of messages has been deleted
by Matthias Rieber 10 Jul '10

10 Jul '10

Hi, I try to mirror two dovecots with: dsync -v -f -u login mirror ssh -o IdentityFile=/etc/dovecot/dsync.d/id_rsa root@shrike dsync -u login This usually works, but if I delete a certain number of emails, I get this messages: dsync-local(mailverwalter): Info: Posteingang: Ignored 178 modseq changes dsync-local(mailverwalter): Info: Posteingang: Couldn't keep all uids dsync-local(mailverwalter): Warning: Mailbox changes caused a desync. You may want to run dsync again. after a second try I get: dsync-local(mailverwalter): Panic: dsync brain state=10 dsync-local(mailverwalter): Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0 [0xf7e44541] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(default_fatal_handler+0x4e) [0xf7e4466e] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot /libdovecot.so.0(i_error+0) [0xf7e44878] -> dsync [0x804f4d6] -> dsync [0x80537c7] -> dsync [0x8053a82] - > /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0xf5) [0xf7e50bc5] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot /libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x30) [0xf7e4fc10] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(master_service_ run+0x2a) [0xf7e3d29a] -> dsync(main+0x732) [0x804db32] -> /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe5) [0xf7cd 1455] -> dsync [0x804d0c1] Regards, Matthias

[Dovecot] Mercurial dovecot-2.0 branch change
by Timo Sirainen 10 Jul '10

10 Jul '10

I got tired of seeing the HEAD branch name in hg.dovecot.org (caused by the initial import from CVS), so I finally switched to "default" branch name where it doesn't show it. But apparently now everyone using dovecot-2.0 hg needs to switch to the default branch. You should see something like: ~/cvs/dovecot-2.0% hg pull -u .. not updating, since new heads added (run 'hg heads' to see heads, 'hg merge' to merge) Now give a command: hg up -C default Hopefully there won't be other problems with the change.

[Dovecot] TLS handshaking error: unknown ca
by Ben Jordan 10 Jul '10

10 Jul '10

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04, recently upgraded. My dovecot version is 1.2.9. My SSL/TLS authentication with dovecot from non-local IP's has stopped working, and I can no longer access my mail securely. I have changed all entries to refer to my server as "host". I am the only user, and am OK with the a self-signed cert. When I try to connect using Thunderbird, the certificate window says "unable to obtain identification status for the given site".

[Dovecot] LDA ignored
by Leander S. 10 Jul '10

10 Jul '10

Hi, my final goal is it to make use Dovecot's sieve modul - but unfortunately I'm not getting the LDA running as it is described in the Dovecot's wiki pages ... ;/ I've more and more getting the feeling that the LDA section in the configuration is completely ignored, cause whatever change I do in there is not being recognized at all - I could just type wildly arround in there - restart Dovecot and it will work. But the dovecot.conf is being used by Dovecot - cause changes to other sections are affecting Dovecot's behaviour ... it's really just the LDA section. I configured and compiled Dovecot with LDA & Managesieve. Otherwhise Dovecot / Postfix setup is running quite well - mail is being scanned by amavis and Spamassassin and delivered as it did before I added / changed the configs to the sieve related options ... It's very weired. I activated "mail_debug = yes" and the following shows up when I start Dovecot: Starting dovecot.

[Dovecot] I can receive but not send
by Dennis Clarke 09 Jul '10

09 Jul '10

I'm not too sure where to look here. I can access my mail via Dovecot and there is an initial requirement to accept an SSL key ( self signed ) however after I look in my inbox and read a piece of email ( via SeaMonkey eMail client ) I can not send. I simply get told that the server would not accept the smtp connection. I was hoping for a smtps connection but I'll take what I can get. Am I missing something obvious here ? -- Dennis

However, configuring this behavior is an interesting issue. If the user log verbosity is configured in the Dovecot userdb, it may in many cases still only be configurable by the administrator. An alternative solution would be to provide the logging configuration directly in the Sieve script; analogous to the way Procmail handles this. This would give users direct control. However, the Sieve specification and its extensions currently define no such facility. In fact, both Sieve and ManageSieve don't provide any means for the user to control what is logged during script execution. This would require some new or custom (vnd.dovecot.) Sieve or ManageSieve extension. However, defining a new extension like that is rarely useful unless clients implement support for it. Another problem is that users need filesystem access or some other custom (HTTP) interface to read the logs. This can be problematic when virtual users are involved. This too could be mended with an extension to the ManageSieve protocol. Alternatively, the Pigeonhole TODO list mentions a solution that writes logs as messages in a special IMAP-accessible folder, but I'm still not sure how practical that is. The above considerations may warrant starting a draft RFC on controlling and accessing Sieve runtime logs. But, I'm deviating from the original issue... what is it that you truly need right now? And for the Dovecot list, any other ideas on the above? Regards, Stephan.

[Dovecot] trash folder (again)
by Holger Hegmanns 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

Hi, I read very intently all the issues related to imap trash folders, but either I didn't unerstand them or my problem is slightly different. I plan to migrate from cyrus to dovecot. I've executed the perl script cyrus2dovecot successfully with the substitution flag "-E 's/^\./.INBOX./'" cause I want to have all folders as subfolders of the INBOX. The vmail dir looks like this afterwards: drwxr-xr-x 11 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 . drwxr-xr-x 3 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .. drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.Drafts drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.Sent drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.Templates drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.Trash drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.blah drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.blub drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 cur -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 119 Jul 8 14:19 dovecot-uidlist drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 new -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 80 Jul 8 14:19 subscriptions drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 tmp After the first access with Thunderbird, regardless of the version (TB2x or TB3x) and regardless of using TB with an empty profile or a well filled up, the directory looks different: drwxr-xr-x 12 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:21 . drwxr-xr-x 3 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .. drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.Drafts drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.Sent drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.Templates drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.Trash drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.blah drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.blub drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:21 .Trash drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 cur -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 119 Jul 8 14:21 dovecot-uidlist -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 17408 Jul 8 14:21 dovecot.index.cache -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 448 Jul 8 14:21 dovecot.index.log drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 new -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 86 Jul 8 14:21 subscriptions drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 tmp A Trash folder was added by TB, I guess.

The preexisting Trash folder (I created all the standard folders with cyradm by hand) below the INBOX seems sufficient to TB, no further Trash can was created and here all input fields are filled up as followed: private namespace "INBOX." shared "" other users "user."

[Dovecot] Thunderbird and shared mailboxes
by Keith Edmunds 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

I'm setting up shared mailboxes as in http://wiki.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Shared, and have set ACLs as described on that page to share one folder of user A's mailbox with User B. However, I'm struggling to get Thunderbird for userb(a)example.com to read the shared folder of usera(a)example.com. Has anyone done this? Thunderbird 3.0, Dovecot 1.2.11 Thanks, Keith

[Dovecot] Eronious comment in sample Director configuration
by Brad Davidson 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

The sample Director configuration (10-director.conf) says that director_servers and director_mail_servers can be lists of either IPs or hostnames: # List of IPs or hostnames to all director servers, including ourself. # Ports can be specified as ip:port. The default port is the same as # what director service's inet_listener is using. #director_servers = # List of IPs or hostnames to all backend mail servers. Ranges are allowed # too, like 10.0.0.10-10.0.0.30. #director_mail_servers = However, if I use hostnames, it bails out with an "Invalid IP address" error. It also seems to be confusing the dashes in my hostnames for address range specifications. Obviously hostnames are not currently supported, but I thought I'd mention it so the documentation could be updated. -Brad

[Dovecot] Director error during sync
by Brad Davidson 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

Just an FYI - if I have a two-node director ring, I get this when I start up the second node: Jul 7 16:59:38 oh-popmap7 dovecot: director: Error: Received SYNC from 10.142.0.162:1234/left (seq=6) while already synced Totally expected since it's already received the same SYNC from the right side, but since I thought I heard you say that "any errors that Dovecot logs are bugs" I thought I'd report it ;) For that matter, it also logs errors when I shut down / restart the second node: Jul 7 16:59:37 oh-popmap7 dovecot: director: Error: Director 10.142.0.162:1234/left disconnected Jul 7 16:59:37 oh-popmap7 dovecot: director: Error: Director 10.142.0.162:1234/right disconnected Jul 7 16:59:37 oh-popmap7 dovecot: director: Error: director(10.142.0.162:1234/out): connect() failed: Connection refused -Brad

[Dovecot] Patch for second fs quota under solaris
by Juergen Obermann 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

Hallo. We use dovecot 1.2.12 running under Solaris 9 and wanted to set up a second filesystem quota root because the mail folders are in the users home directories and the inboxes of all users are in /var/mail. This is defined in dovecot.conf: quota = fs:Home-Verzeichnis:noenforcing quota2 = fs:INBOX:noenforcing:mount=/var/mail This second quota did not work, but now I found the reason why. The mountpoint_get in src/lib/mountpoint.c needs to call resetmnttab to find the filesystem for the second quota root (see man resetmnttab). The following patches correct this and also adds some debugging code to src/plugins/quota/quota-fs.c to show the processing of quota2. These patches are only needed for Solaris with filesystem quotas. dovecot-1.2.12 ############## *** ./src/lib/mountpoint.c.orig Mon Jan 25 00:14:17 2010 --- ./src/lib/mountpoint.c Thu Jul 8 11:21:11 2010 *************** *** 164,169 **** --- 164,170 ---- i_error("fopen(%s) failed: %m", MTAB_PATH); return -1; } + resetmnttab(f); while ((getextmntent(f, &ent.ext, sizeof(ent.ext))) == 0) { if (hasmntopt(&ent.ent, MNTOPT_IGNORE) != NULL) continue; *** ./src/plugins/quota/quota-fs.c.orig Sat Jun 19 00:12:44 2010 --- ./src/plugins/quota/quota-fs.c Wed Jul 7 16:54:20 2010 *************** *** 249,256 **** continue; mount = fs_quota_mountpoint_get(root->storage_mount_path); ! if (mount != NULL) fs_quota_mount_init(root, mount); } } --- 249,263 ---- continue; mount = fs_quota_mountpoint_get(root->storage_mount_path); ! if (mount != NULL) { ! if (quota->set->debug) { ! i_info("fs quota2 add storage dir = %s", root->storage_mount_path); ! i_info("fs quota2 block device = %s", mount->device_path); ! i_info("fs quota2 mount point = %s", mount->mount_path); ! i_info("fs quota2 mount type = %s", mount->type); ! } fs_quota_mount_init(root, mount); + } } } dovecot-2.0.rc1 ############### *** ./src/lib/mountpoint.c.orig Mon Jan 25 00:16:12 2010 --- ./src/lib/mountpoint.c Thu Jul 8 11:24:10 2010 *************** *** 164,169 **** --- 164,170 ---- i_error("fopen(%s) failed: %m", MTAB_PATH); return -1; } + resetmnttab(f); while ((getextmntent(f, &ent.ext, sizeof(ent.ext))) == 0) { if (hasmntopt(&ent.ent, MNTOPT_IGNORE) != NULL) continue; *** ./src/plugins/quota/quota-fs.c.orig Fri Jul 2 21:32:40 2010 --- ./src/plugins/quota/quota-fs.c Wed Jul 7 12:52:38 2010 *************** *** 264,271 **** continue; mount = fs_quota_mountpoint_get(root->storage_mount_path); ! if (mount != NULL) fs_quota_mount_init(root, mount); } } --- 264,278 ---- continue; mount = fs_quota_mountpoint_get(root->storage_mount_path); ! if (mount != NULL) { ! if (quota->set->debug) { ! i_debug("fs quota2 add mailbox dir = %s", root->storage_mount_path); ! i_debug("fs quota2 block device = %s", mount->device_path); ! i_debug("fs quota2 mount point = %s", mount->mount_path); ! i_debug("fs quota2 mount type = %s", mount->type); ! } fs_quota_mount_init(root, mount); + } } } Greetings, Jürgen Obermann -- Hochschulrechenzentrum der | Mail: Juergen.Obermann(a)hrz.uni-giessen.de Justus-Liebig-Universitaet | WWW: http://www.uni-giessen.de/obermann Heinrich-Buff-Ring 44 | Tel: 0641-99-13054 (0641-99-13001) D-35392 Giessen, Germany | Fax: 0641-99-13009

[Dovecot] dovecot 2.0 rc1 missing folder INBOX
by Burckhard Schmidt 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

Hello, I have maildir format, and usually I found a folder "INBOX" in older versions of dovecot. Now I get this folder structure: ~user/maildir with folder new tmp cur Drafts (auto generated) Sent (auto) Trash (auto) This happens if a first email arrives or the user logs in the first time. If I connect direct to the server and send the command 1 list "" "*" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Sent" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Trash" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Drafts" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "INBOX" * LIST (\Noselect \HasNoChildren) "/" "FremdeOrdner" 1 OK List completed. Here "INBOX" is listed. Is this correct no folder "INBOX"? -- Regards --- Burckhard Schmidt

[Dovecot] problems with sieve under 2.0...

I'm experimenting with a 2.0 setup, using the sieve plugin for 2.0 from mercurial. Without sieve, everything seems to work fine. Once I put in a .dovecot.sieve file, though, nothing gets delivered, with the only hint of what's going wrong being this mess in syslog: Jul 7 13:18:00 bellman dovecot: lda(perry): Panic: file index-transaction.c: line 70 (index_transaction_init): assertion failed: (box->opened) Jul 7 13:18:00 bellman dovecot: lda(perry): Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0 [0x7f55e07fedd2] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_syslog_fatal_handler+0x2b) [0x7f55e07fee7b] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_error+0) [0x7f55e07ff1e3] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0 [0x7f55e0cbdc31] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(index_transaction_begin+0x3f) [0x7f55e0cbdc7f] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mailbox_transaction_begin+0x13) [0x7f55e0c750d3] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-sieve.so.0 [0x7f55df800724] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-sieve.so.0(sieve_result_execute+0x173) [0x7f55df7f9183] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-sieve.so.0(sieve_execute+0x7d) [0x7f55df807b5d] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lib90_sieve_plugin.so [0x7f55dfa3bbed] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-lda.so.0(mail_deliver+0x44) [0x7f55e0a41e84] -> /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda(main+0x692) [0x402f72] -> /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe6) [0x7f55e00831a6] -> /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda [0x402819] Ideas? -- Perry E.

[Dovecot] Thunderbird problem
by Frank Bonnet 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

Hello Some users had occasionally a problem with Thunderbird , some random emails with attachement(s) cannot be read anymore the email appears empty and TB seems to enter in an infinite loop saying it is downloading the message The only solution I found was : 1 - stop thunderbird on the client machine 2 - remove the .imap user's directory 3 - restart thunderbird on the client machine After doing that all emails re-appear normally and attachements are readable/downloadable again. ALL our clients use the IMAP(S) protocol. Anyone had the same problem ? Thanks F

[Dovecot] Australian Internet Filtering Position
by Ryan Halloway 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

List, With sites like this appearing everywhere: http://www.dontfilterme.com and http://nocleanfeed.com/ Just trying to get a general opinion with what everyone thinks of the filtering situation in Australia. Whether you believe its a good thing or a bad thing or you don't really care. I'm writing a letter to an Australian MP (Member of Parliament) and I want to get some actual opinions of what other systems administrators think of the internet filter, even if they are not in Australia. Not only at a technical aspect but at an opinion aspect as well. Either reply on list or pm me. I just want to get a general idea. Thanks, Ryan.

[Dovecot] OT: Sieve + Forward as Attachment
by Jerry 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

I know that this is technically not a Dovecot problem; however, I was wondering if anyone knew if 'sieve' had been updated with the ability to 'forward as attachment' a received document. I believe it has the ability to forward a document; however, I need the ability to forward it as an attachment if possible. Also I believe, somewhat due to my asking for them, that sieve exits with appropriate error codes. Is there a listing of these codes, other than in the actual program code itself, of what those exit codes are? -- Jerry ✌ Dovecot.user(a)seibercom.net Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.

[Dovecot] Manually creating folders from terminal
by A. J. Giurato 07 Jul '10

07 Jul '10

I'm trying to use a script to create a mailbox structure. I'm aware that the structure should look like: ~/.maildir/.INBOX/{cur,tmp,new} ~/.maildir/.INBOX.Subfolder1/{cur,tmp,new} ~/.maildir/.INBOX.Subfolder2/{cur,tmp,new} ~/.maildir/.INBOX.Subfolder2.Subsubfolder1/{cur,tmp,new} ... I have tried manually making those directories and using the "maildirmake.dovecot" command that my system has. I feel that in the past, folders I have made this way worked. However, now none are showing up in my clients. In Thunderbird, they aren't even listed on the "Subscribe" window for me to enable. Using Squirrelmail doesn't show them either. Essentially what I am doing is taking my current IMAP dir structure, and making a copy in a subfolder called ".INBOX.Archive.<year>" to archive my old mail. Thus, .INBOX.Subfolder1.Subfolder2 becomes .INBOX.Archive.2009.Subfolder1.Subfolder2. My system: Ubuntu 8.04 # 1.0.10: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S ssl_listen: * disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login mail_privileged_group: mail mail_access_groups: mail default_mail_env: ~/.maildir mail_location: ~/.maildir auth default: mechanisms: plain login passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix
