[Dovecot] Pigeonhole Sieve date extension
by Edgar Fuß 09 Mar '10

09 Mar '10

Probably I'm doing something stupidly wrong. I have dovecot 1.2.7 and sieve 0.1.13. I have a sieve script starting with # <some comment> require ["vacation", "date", "relational"]; I get main_script: line 2: error: require command: unknown Sieve capability 'date'. Just to make sure I haven't messed up the dovecot package: $ strings /usr/pkg/lib/dovecot/lda/lib90_sieve_plugin.a | fgrep date_extension date_extension date_extension date_extension date_extension date_extension What's going on? It's probably some totally stupid typo on my side.

[Dovecot] force to recalculate quotadict
by Andre Hübner 08 Mar '10

08 Mar '10

Hello, i use working quotasystem with sql-quotadict. The values stored in db are used to realize also a quotasystem in postfix to reject mails if they are bigger then remaining quota. if dataset in quotadict is missing for some reasons, postfix can't calculate quota and mail gets delivered even if user is already over quota. I am looking for a way to force dovecot/lda to recalculate users bytes/messages with command xy and not to wait for incomming mail. Currently i use: deliver -d $user -n -m folderwithunspeakablenamesonobodyusesthis and send a small message which gets lost but starts the calculation. This works but seems not to be the finest way. Is there a better way or my current procedure acceptable? Thanks, Andre

Hello, > 1. remove the quota in the DB, > 2. make same changes. hmm, i see. but unfortunately this is not a way i can do. it would be acceptable in private scope but not for bussinesscustomers. to make a change i would manipulate customers maildata which is not allowed this way. a simple command to update complete quota for the single user would be the best way. now i tried to connect per telnet and use command Getquotaroot, seems also to work. this should be scriptable... ok thanks, i will try something...

[Dovecot] Saving Sent Messages to Sent Folder
by Charles Marcus 08 Mar '10

08 Mar '10

Hi Timo, There was another thread (it has come up at least a few times in the past few years I've been lurking) on the postfix list about having some kind of automatic 'Save to Sent' option to avoid the users mail client from having to upload messages twice (obviously the only ones of concern are ones with large attachments) - once to send it, and once to save the copy in the sent folder. I know and understand that doing this is not generally the job of the MTA, but hopefully most people can at least admit that there would be a (potentially huge, in the case of any large company that deals with a lot of large attachments in their email) savings in bandwidth (and user frustration) if a way could be found to do this reliably and at little to no 'cost' in terms of CPU/Disk IO, so I have a question about how this might be done... Given: Postfix can be configured to use the Dovecot LDA for delivering mail incoming. My question is simply, why wouldn't it be possible to create a Dovecot LSA ('submission agent'), that could be defined in postfix's master.cf file, which could then be configured to a) pipe the message to postfix, and b) if message is successfully sent, save a copy to the users Sent folder? Obviously, there would be some caveats - ie, postfix and dovecot would both have to be running on the same box (or at a minimum on the same local network)... Anyway, this is just something that really bugs me (and has for many, many years) every time I send a message with a large attachment, and have to watch it slowly process the message sending it, then again to save it to the Sent folder, so Ijust wanted to get your take on if this is even remotely feasible... -- Best regards, Charles

[Dovecot] 2.0 beta 3 w/o libwrap?
by Scott Ellis 08 Mar '10

08 Mar '10

I'm trying to kickstart 2.0b3 on my NetBSD system (where 1.2.x works great!), and keep hitting: Fatal: service(tcpwrap) access(/software/dovecot-2.0beta3/libexec/dovecot/tcpwrap) failed: No such file or directory Indeed, that file doesn't exist...but I don't have nor want libwrap. It appears that doveconf includes tcpwrap... service tcpwrap { chroot = client_limit = 1 drop_priv_before_exec = no executable = tcpwrap extra_groups = group = privileged_group = process_limit = 0 process_min_avail = 0 protocol = service_count = 0 type = user = $default_internal_user vsz_limit = 4294967295 } ...but nothing else seems to. Running configure with --without-libwrap doesn't make any difference (configure doesn't find libwrap anyway). What am I missing here? How can I use dovecot 2.0 w/tcp wrappers? ScottE

Re: [Dovecot] Number of users for one Solr instance
by Lee 05 Mar '10

05 Mar '10

Hi, This is my first mail, fyi. I dont know internals of the plugin but it depends more on Solr than Dovecot. Also the activity level and "real-timeness" of the index is important. Assuming this as the search only machine and relatively moderate usage, a big box with lots of RAM and 4-way server may work in your case. Lee

[Dovecot] Number of users for one Solr instance
by Ernesto Revilla 05 Mar '10

05 Mar '10

Dear all. (I'm new to the list.) Our regional government is considering, due to our proposal, migrate from Courier to Dovecot. 70k mailboxes. One of the most attractive features for them is the usage of indexes, and especially Solr FTS plugin. Their question is: How many users (range of users) could support one Solr instance used as index and search backend? Are there any deployment examples? I think, it would be easy to split users into different Solr instances, but it's not that easy to reorganize them, as we have to reindex if one user is moved from one instance to another. Regards. Erny Yaco Sistemas

[Dovecot] plugin Again
by Alex Baule 04 Mar '10

Hello.... Someone know ho work the istream-concat ? I made a copy of istream-concat, and use to manipulate my encrypted body. But i got some questions about the stream->pos, stream->skip and position of the message and pointer to buffer. My messages have the W= with the email size decrypted, and it is a little lass that the email size crypto. For exemple: I have a email with 6000k in crypto and decrypto the size is 5985 k: The buffer from istream-concat is 4096, i read 4096 from get_stream_data, but the result of this read is minor , lets say 4080, but the next read must be from 4096. The "send to client" must be 4080, to send the correctly data decrypted. My Question is, what the variable used in istream-concat, to send the data to client ? I need to update the stream->pos with my data length ?? I dont know if i made understand my question.....

I totally agree with the one of you who mentioned the online documentation and the wiki. I know that it exists and i used it for setting up my mail server, but ... as i said, i am old fashioned and i can better work with books. It's just a personal preferrence. Well, i also know that many developers are still working on dovecot, especially Timo and that always new features, configuration options and so on are added, but ... it's the same with other applications in the community (e.g. postfix, apache, OpenLDAP, samba ....) and for all those applications books are available, and that was the reason, why i asked for a book. And to be honest. When i go thru the documentation part, most of the documents were not changed for at least 6 months. I am sure that between the writing and the publishing of a book new dovecot features will be introduced and not covered in the book. But everyone working with books knows that they can't be up to date, but they are a real good basis for me to start with the fundamentals and then add this information by new data from the web. And guys just to mention one big advantage of a book is, you can read it offline easily!! But there is one thing i want to mention at this point. Even if you agree with me about having a book or not. What i really like is the discussion about and the chance to do so, because dovecot is opensource. And for me this is in the end the result behind the idea of open source. Everyone has the chance to contribute, either by code, by suggestions, by comments ..... And that for me is more important than to have a book or not. Thank you all for your comments.

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.0b3 IDLE not advertised
by Bernhard Schmidt 02 Mar '10

02 Mar '10

Hi, I'm not sure whether the client or the server is at fault (probably the client), but it's clearly a regression for me. I'm using the LCG Profimail (http://lonelycatgames.com/?app=profimail) application for my Symbian smartphone which has quite decent IMAP capabilities. Amongst others it can do IMAP IDLE (which has to be statically enabled in the server settings, so it's not used based on the server capabilities). After upgrading from 1.2.10 to 2.0b3 it does not connect anymore. It throws the error message "This server doesn't support IMAP IDLE connection" in my face, even before it tries to authenticate Feb 27 00:46:45 mail dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=93.104.73.132, lip=83.170.x.xx, TLS: Disconnected The main difference seems to be that 1.2 advertises IDLE in capabilities before authentication, but 2.0 does not: 1.2: * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN] Dovecot ready. o CAPABILITY * CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE SORT THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT IDLE CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE QRESYNC * ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH QUOTA STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN o OK Capability completed. 2.0: * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN] Dovecot ready. o CAPABILITY * CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN o OK Capability completed. o LOGIN user password * CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE SORT SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT IDLE CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 * CONDSTORE QRESYNC ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH LIST-STATUS QUOTA o OK Logged in I know there is the imap_capability setting which might help here, but that looks like a very big hammer.

[Dovecot] dovecot 1.1.6 and outloook express 6 out of sync
by gyre 02 Mar '10

02 Mar '10

Apologies if this has been discussed before. I have dovecot 1.1.6 installed on my qnap NAS. I connect to the imap server using outlook express 6 on my XP sp3 box. I notice, after a time, that what I see in outlook express isn't what is actually on the imap server. For example, in one of my folders, many messages are missing. On another, headers of messages start getting duplicated and the bodies don't always match the headers. If I tell outlook express to clean up and reset... i.e. remove all the headers and bodies so they get downloaded again, then everything appears again... for a little while. Likewise, if I delete all the index files on the server and restart it, all seems well for a bit. Somehow, OE is getting out of sync with the imap server. This same OE client is also talking to other non-dovecot imap servers and I don't see this out-of-sync-ness or corruption at all. I realise this is a vaguely stated problem, but I'm not a imap person and dont yet know how to narrow it down further, nor can I reliably recreate it. Has anybody seen anything like this before? Thanks. -- gyre --

[Dovecot] What does mailman do with a 'post' command?
by Masaharu Kawada 02 Mar '10

02 Mar '10

Dear list, I am sorry if this question should not be posted here, but I believe that there are many experts of postfix or any other thing such as mailing lists in this list. I am kind of in hurry and need some advices to know about my questions. Could anyone in this list please answer my questions if you know. My questions are about routing work of mailman. As I am not quite fimiliar with the use of mailman, I am sorry if this is a stupid question. One of my customer gets the following log message into /var/log/maillog at around 12:00 every day. ---</var/log/maillog>--- 12:00:04 relay postfix/pickup[6279]: 244811C805C: uid=41 from=<mailman> 12:00:04 relay postfix/cleanup[21529]: 244811C805C: message-id=<20100215030004.244811C805C(a)example.co.jp> 12:00:04 relay postfix/qmgr[20068]: 244811C805C: from=<mailman(a)example.co.jp>, size=1728, nrcpt=1 (queue active) 12:00:04 relay postfix/local[21232]: 244811C805C: to=<mailman(a)example.co.jp>, orig_to=<mailman>, relay=local, delay=0.17, delays=0.05/0/0/0.12, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered to command: /usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post mailman) ---- This message seems that it delivers a command '/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post' to execute against the mailman mailing list, however, the customer never use mailman mailing list on their system. One thing that I doubt is that a cronjob in /etc/cron.d/mailman does something relevant of this because the post time of the messages is always reight after the following work. ---</etc/cron.d/mailman>--- 0 12 * * * mailman /usr/lib/mailman/cron/senddigests or 0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * mailman /usr/lib/mailman/cron/gate_news --- I'm afraid that I don't have /etc/mailman/aliases file of cutomer's, but by default(in my test env), it should looks like below. </etc/mailman/aliease> # STANZA START: mailman # CREATED: Mon Jan 25 16:48:18 2010 mailman: "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post mailman" mailman-admin: "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman admin mailman" mailman-bounces: "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman bounces mailman" mailman-confirm: "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman confirm mailman" mailman-join: "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman join mailman" mailman-leave: "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman leave mailman" mailman-owner: "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman owner mailman" mailman-request: "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman request mailman" mailman-subscribe: "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe mailman" mailman-unsubscribe: "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman unsubscribe mailman" # STANZA END: mailman My questions are as follows. 1.What exactly is the cause the message in /var/log/maillog? 2.Why does the messages send to mailman(mailman(a)example.co.jp) user even though that mailing list never be used?

[Dovecot] segfault - (imap|pop3)-login during nessus scan
by Todd Rinaldo 01 Mar '10

01 Mar '10

We've been struggling with a problem for the past couple of days which to this point I've only gotten to be able to boil down to this: 1. Install nessus home edition (less pluggins I assume) 2. run all scans (sequentially or in parallel, doesn't seem to matter) 3. about 3 minutes in /var/log/messages will show segfaults on imap and/or pop3 imap-login[22185]: segfault at 000000000000000c rip 0000003c7de610a2 rsp 00007fffa2342068 error 4 or sometimes... pop3-login[24451]: segfault at 000000000000000c rip 0000003c7de610a2 rsp 00007fff07116968 error 4 I'm having a really hard time getting a core dump and I'm having a really hard time narrowing down the list of nessus tests which cause this. So far, I have repeated this failure in 1.1.19 and 1.1.20 Additionally we've seen something similar on 1.2 and reverted back to 1.1 a year ago. At the time we could not re-produce a test case and finally gave up. Has anyone seen something along these lines? Can anyone recommend how I could narrow this down further so we can find the problem? Thanks, Todd

[Dovecot] Read-only imap mailbox and disable pop access to it
by foram goram 01 Mar '10

01 Mar '10

Hi I want to create a mailbox that no one would be able to delete mails from and disable access to it through pop. I have come up with using ACLs to allow read-only access to users. Is that right approach? Could someone tell me how I can achieve the second objective of disabling pop access to this mailbox only. Thanks Foram Goram __________________________________________________________________ Be smarter than spam. See how smart SpamGuard is at giving junk email the boot with the All-new Yahoo! Mail.
