[Dovecot] dovecot v 1.28 and virtual folders
by Jim Richard 09 Dec '09

09 Dec '09

I haven't been able to make this work. I've experimented with different settings in my dovecot.conf for hours. I have a simple single user ubuntu setup, nothing fancy and would just like to have a virtual "unread" folder of my main INBOX, for use with Squirrelmail So, with just this, all good... subfolders look like .INBOX.duplicates for example in the file system namespace private { separator = . location = maildir:~/Maildir inbox = yes } now, when I try to add a virtual namespace namespace private { subscriptions = yes list = yes inbox = no prefix = virtual. separator = . location = virtual:~/Maildir/virtual } ~/Maildir/virtual does exist in the filesystem, I can "subscribe" to virtual but if I try to create a sub folder of it I get ERROR: Could not complete request. Query: CREATE "virtual.test" Reason Given: [CANNOT] Can't create virtual mailboxes Squirrelmail is great because it has some nice IMAP testing tools, so for example, with my current dovecot config I can test the NAMESPACE command, is that the correct response? Request: A003 NAMESPACE Response: * NAMESPACE (("" ".")("virtual." ".")) NIL NIL Namespace completed. I'm sure the issue is a fundamental lack of understanding of a concept here ... Any help would be appreciated. thank you, -Jim

[Dovecot] mailboxcasecmp()
by Frank Cusack 09 Dec '09

09 Dec '09

I remember way back, i'd modified the dspam training plugin to compare mailbox names case-insensitively. that patch wasn't accepted. i didn't understand why since it was obviously correct and had no negative impact, at least i didn't think so. Now I've hit another case where case-insensitive mailbox names would be useful: +addressing. If I have a mailbox 'Ext' and I send mail to frank+Ext@, the LHS is lowercased to 'frank+ext' and the +extension delivery doesn't find the 'Ext' mailbox. If the +extension is going to be lowercased, then the mailbox names should be lowercased when looking for them. Or, since 'ext' and 'Ext' can co-exist, the +extension shouldn't be lowercased when looking for the mailbox. I prefer the former (lowercase everything), since it's unlikely a user would create both 'mailbox' and 'Mailbox', however I can envision plenty of times where users would try to use '+ext' yet create the '+Ext" mailbox and never be able to figure out why it doesn't work. I know the latter solution (case sensitive extensions and case sensitive mailboxes) is more correct but really it will be harder to debug user problems. -frank

[Dovecot] different views of a imap account
by Ajaxster 09 Dec '09

09 Dec '09

Hi, I've looked around a few times to see if I could figure the answer to this question but I think I may not know the right question to ask... The scenario I have is that I'm running dovecot, exim and procmail on one server (using maildir storage) and also have apache on another server. I can run squirrel mail, roundcube, etc. all on the web server and access all my email just fine. I can run outlook or thunderbird or other imap clients just fine too. I have some smart phones that support imap mail servers, but when I set them up to connect to my server, the client seems to have to sync up data on all the mailboxes (lots of headers to download). All I really want on my remote (phone based) imap clients is to view my inbox. I believe that the subscriptions are done globally in that every client sees the same subscriptions, so that doesn't seem like the way to narrow down what my phone imap clients see. Does what I'd like to do make sense? Is there a way to configure dovecot to support this? Could I just run two servers on the same machine at different ports to support this? I'd love to hear about how others have approached this or similar problems. I've seen a lite email client that can be run on an apache server that wap browsers can access to view mail. That works okay, but with phones having built in imap clients, that seems like a more streamlined way to go ;-) Thanks for you thoughts! -- Jay

Is there a way to limit the amount of maildir folders a user can have? Also is there is hard limit on the amount of folders dovecot can handle? I have a user who has over 3000 folder (including subfolders) that is having issues with delays in loading, moving, and deleting messages. Thanks in advance Jeff N.

[Dovecot] rquota in dovecot-1.2.8-0_103.el5.x86_64.rpm
by David Warden 09 Dec '09

09 Dec '09

Is rquota purposefully not present in the RPM at http://atrpms.net/dist/el5/dovecot/dovecot-1.2.8-0_103.el5.x86_64.rpm.html ? On a test machine I decided to give dovecot 1.2 a go with that RPM and everything went great except I was getting the following error in the dovecot log (and quota was not working): Dec 9 10:50:43 webmailtest2 dovecot: IMAP(auser) rip=127.0.0.1: quotactl(Q_GETQUOTA, nfsserver.geneseo.edu:/vol/email/users) failed: No such file or directory I had seen some messages on the mailing list talking about making sure you build with HAVE_RQUOTA defined at compile time. I wasn't able to determine if the RPM on the aforementioned page was simply missing the rquota code, but upon building the SRPM from the same place (http://atrpms.net/dist/el5/dovecot/, SRPM itself is http://dl.atrpms.net/all/dovecot-1.2.8-0_103.src.rpm) I saw HAVE_RQUOTA fly by and the rquota source files get built and linked, and when using those binaries rquota started working. I scanned the changelog for the binary RPM for something indicating that rquota support had been taken out but didn't see anything. Apologies if this is better sent to the package maintainer; I'm hoping he checks this list or someone has already run into this and can set me (and anyone else who may run in to this problem) straight. -David Warden

[Dovecot] More logging for Deliver (eg file name)
by Andrew Hearn 09 Dec '09

Hello, I can't see from the wiki if it's possible to log extra information with Deliver - such as the file name it's using to save the message in (Maildir). Currently I get the date, address, ID and folder, eg: Dec 09 12:07:06 deliver(my_address@invalid): Info: msgid=<302ce8b50912090406y634d1340j96ebd54466a2d08b(a)mail.gmail.com>: saved mail to INBOX.Lists.centos Thanks. -- Andrew

[Dovecot] After upgrading to 1.2 - absolute path questions
by Proskurin Kirill 09 Dec '09

09 Dec '09

Hello. I have this: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf: mail_location = maildir:/var/spool/dovecot/domains/%d/%n /usr/local/etc/dovecot-ldap.conf: user_attrs = mailQuotaSize=quota_rule=*:storage=%$M ,=uid=1002,=gid=1002,=home=/var/spool/dovecot/domains/%d/%n Two absolute paths seems to it is not right(but it works good...) Right way will be: mail_location = maildir:%d/%n =home=/var/spool/dovecot/domains/ ? -- Best regards, Proskurin Kirill

[Dovecot] Different Formats Per User?
by Tony Rutherford 08 Dec '09

08 Dec '09

For migration possibilities, we're considering whether it's possible to have Dovecot run some users using standard Maildir format, while other users would be using filesystem (LAYOUT=fs) format? We could determine which one's users have, but is there a way to tell Dovecot this information, and is it even part of the Dovecot design to deal with this scenario? Thanks, Tony

[Dovecot] DELE before QUIT
by Davy Leon 08 Dec '09

08 Dec '09

Hi folks I'm new to Dovecot. I'm wonderng if it's a way that dovecot delete a message just after the DELE POP3 command and not just mark the message for deletion and wait until the QUIT command is received. The main reason is for slow and unstable links fetching mail this is madness. Any suggestions? David

[Dovecot] permission issue when moving / copying a message
by Jean-Christophe Baptiste 08 Dec '09

08 Dec '09

Hi all, I am having an issue with permission that may be a bug. The issue happens when moving / copying a message from a folder to another : sometimes the message gets the wrong permission (umask). The typical use case is, inside a maildir box and within imap, moving a spam message to the spam folder. Then a cron script is supposed to access to it to feed the antispam database. I wish the message file to be created with umask 0002 but sometimes it creates it with 0022. There is an example in my maildir : # ls -la /home/vmail/domain.com/contact/.spam/cur total 84 drwxrwx--- 2 vmail vmail 4096 déc. 7 23:19 . drwxrwx--- 5 vmail vmail 4096 déc. 7 23:19 .. -rw------- 2 vmail vmail 1303 déc. 7 14:37 1260211373.M462708P12977.genki:2,S -rw-rw---- 2 vmail vmail 73090 juin 8 14:57 1260224357.M884229P14370.genki:2,S As you can see, one file is OK and the other one not. Parents directories have the correct permissions, which should be pushed to the children (according to the doc). With my current configuration, it is something I can reproduce it often but I could not find what exactly triggers it. Thank you in advance for looking at this case and for your help, Regards, -- Jean-Christophe Baptiste <jc(a)phocean.net>

[Dovecot] Mbox corruption
by Erinn Looney-Triggs 07 Dec '09

07 Dec '09

I am trying to track down an mbox corruption issue that has been happening for one of our users. It appears that the mbox file is getting truncated and the all important From line no longer exists which then leads to the mbox being useless. It also appears, as in most truncations, that parts of the mbox are being lost. I am not sure how to debug this to find out whether this is a client or server issue and any pointers would be appreciated. Here are the facts as I have them: Server: RHEL5 x64/ Dovecot 1.2.8 Client: Win/ Thunderbird 2.0.0.23 This appears to only be happening for one user out of several hundred across 30 or so Dovecot servers, so I am leaning towards this being a client issue, but I don't know a great deal about the low level working of IMAP to debug. For example, I assume that the client issues a request to the server on the order of delete message 34 and the server then overwrites the mbox file (this then would point to it being a server issue)? The corruption occurs in a random assortment of this users files, so sometimes the inbox, others the Trash or one of many other folders this user has. The user also reports that before the corruption occurs duplicates of e-mail will start to appear in folders, even folders that have been unused for a long period of time. Oh I suppose I should also mention that this is about the third or fourth time this has happened to this user and it seems to happen about every 2-3 weeks. Does any of this sound familiar to anyone? Any suggestions as to how to root this out? Thanks, -Erinn

They are all running version 1.2.8 and are all configured identically minus compile differences for RHEL4 or 5 and x86 vs. x86_64. So the user is always accessing the same server. It is extremely odd that this issue is happening only to this one user on this one system which still make me lean toward it being a client issue but I am unsure of how to determine that. -Erinn

[Dovecot] virtual domains and SSL certificates
by Dick Middleton 07 Dec '09

07 Dec '09

Hi, This topic has been discussed before e.g: <QUOTE> On 2008-08-07, at 1143, Kacper Wysocki wrote: The problem is that the configuration file specifies only one certificate file for dovecot, which means only one Common Name, which means one cannot provide one server cert that will match mail.foo.com AND mail.bar.com, and either ma...(a)foo.com or bo...(a)bar.com will get a "Security Error: Domain Name Mismatch" in their mail client when connecting through IMAPS. </QUOTE> I bring it up again because I've just been trying the release candidate for Thunderbird 3. This has a config wizard which derives from ones email address the mail server address etc. It doesn't handle SSL virtual mail servers very well because of this problem. I have encountered a web server called Cherokee (http://www.cherokee-project.com) which has virtual server capability that *demands* a different certificate for each virtual server. How can that be I thought? This is what Cherokee documentation says: <QUOTE> SSL Virtual Hosts You might have been told elsewhere that named virtual hosts in SSL cannot be supported without SNI (Server Name Indication) because a web server cannot see the hostname header when the SSL request is being processed. Technically this might have been correct in the past. The first thing that the server has to do is to connect with the other end by using SSL/TLS. The user entered host part of the URI must match the Common Name (CN) provided by the certificate. Since virtual hosts are in use, the CN of the first available certificate may or may not match the one specified in the early stages of TLS negotiation. Cherokee supports the clean and standard method of dealing with this issue called Server Name Indication (SNI) that sends the name of the virtual host during the TLS negotiation. If SNI is supported by your SSL/TLS library, the SSL layer does not need to be restarted. Since the host info can be put in the SSL handshake, things will simply work as long as there is a web browser with SNI support at the other side. Currently every modern web browser supports this, and Cherokee has TLS SNI support for the OpenSSL backends. Note that for SNI to work, client support is required. Web browsers known to support it are Mozilla Firefox 2.0+, Opera 8.0+, Internet Explorer 7 (Vista, not XP) or later and Google Chrome. </QUOTE> If Cherokee can do it why not dovecot? Is this something that is, or could be, being considered? It does assume that TB3 and other mail clients support SNI but whatever, I suspect that once TB3 is released the subject will pop-up more frequently. I'm curious to know the latest thinking. Dick

[Dovecot] dovecot-shared Problem
by Darius Bohni 03 Dec '09

03 Dec '09

Hi, first, sorry for my english, i hope u understand me :-/ I try to set up dovecot with imap and maildir. I run into a permission problem. I need to have read and execute rights of all folders and mails for the group (needed by the backup deamon). first I tried with umask, but this only affect folders and no mails. Then I read about dovecot-shared and tried this. Permissions are now ok but and this is a big but., I have troubles with thunderbird. I copied a folder from an pop3 account to the imap account (Inbox->subfolder). Now all mails are unread. OK i mark all as read. Now I move a message to the inbox and back to the subfolder an wonder, the mail is now marked as unreaded again. When i set up the mailboxes without the dovecot-shared file, the behaviour above is gone!! But my permission problem is back :-( Permissions of dovecot-shared is 750 and the mainfolder is 750 with g+s can anybody help me? thank u alot grz. fr3ak4l
