[Dovecot] Problems with sieve
by Stefan Onken 07 Sep '09

07 Sep '09

Hello, I am trying to setup an Email Server with Exim, dovecot and sieve support. I am not sure about the settings for Sieve, right now its's not working properly: user: test3(a)gewaltphantasien.de maildir: /var/mails/gewaltphantasien.de/test3 I have the .dovecot.sieve file in the root dir of the users emails: root@ubuntu:/var/mails/gewaltphantasien.de/test3# cat /var/mails/gewaltphantasien.de/test3/.dovecot.sieve require "vacation"; vacation # Reply at most once a day to a same sender :days 1 :subject "Out of office reply" # List of additional recipient addresses which are included in the auto replying. # If a mail's recipient is not the envelope recipient and it's not on this list, # no vacation reply is sent for it. :addresses ["test3(a)gewaltphantasien.de", "john.doe(a)company.dom"] "I'm out of office, please contact Joan Doe instead. Best regards John Doe"; Incoming email looks like: Sep 5 15:45:01 ubuntu deliver(test3(a)gewaltphantasien.de): auth input: maildir=gewaltphantasien.de/test3 Sep 5 15:45:01 ubuntu deliver(test3(a)gewaltphantasien.de): auth input: uid=1001 Sep 5 15:45:01 ubuntu deliver(test3(a)gewaltphantasien.de): auth input: gid=1001 Sep 5 15:45:01 ubuntu deliver(test3(a)gewaltphantasien.de): Home dir not found: Sep 5 15:45:01 ubuntu deliver(test3(a)gewaltphantasien.de): maildir: data=/var/mails/gewaltphantasien.de/test3 Sep 5 15:45:01 ubuntu deliver(test3(a)gewaltphantasien.de): maildir++: root=/var/mails/gewaltphantasien.de/test3, index=, control=, inbox=/var/mails/gewaltphantasien.de/test3 !!!!

It seems deliver is taking up a lot of cpu. Is there a way to throttle just the delivery command?

[Dovecot] offlineimap with dovecot: file-time is one hour in the future
by Dieter Faulbaum 04 Sep '09

04 Sep '09

I use offlineimap to sync my remote IMAP-server with my local IMAP-server (maildir format). But I don't understand this behavior: every new mail in the INBOX has a file-date which is one hour in the future. Is this 'normal'? Is this a problem of offlineimap? I tried this debugging (for dovecot): mail_executable = /usr/lib/dovecot/rawlog /usr/lib/dovecot/imap and this (for offlineimap): offlineimap -d imap,maildir,thread -l ~/offlineimap.log But I can't find any helpful information in these files, which shows me what went wrong. Has anyone a better technique or a hint how to find out what caused this (little) problem? -- Dieter Faulbaum

[Dovecot] v2.0 configuration parsing
by Timo Sirainen 04 Sep '09

04 Sep '09

I'm trying to figure out how exactly v2.0 should be parsing configuration files. The most annoying part is if it should always just "use whatever comes first in config" or try some kind of a "use most specific rule". The "most specific" kind of makes more sense initially, but then you start wondering how to handle e.g.: 1) User logs in to imap from 192.168.0.1. What is foo's value? protocol imap { remote_ip 192.168.0.0/16 { foo = foo } } remote_ip 192.168.0.0/24 { foo = bar } 2) User logs in from 192.168.0.1 to 10.1.2.3. What is foo's value? local_ip 192.168.0.1 { remote_ip 10.1.2.0/24 { foo = foo } } remote_ip 10.1.2.3 { local_ip 192.168.0.0/24 { foo = bar } } Any thoughts?

[Dovecot] quota-dirsize and mailbox rules
by Thanos Chatziathanassiou 04 Sep '09

04 Sep '09

I noticed that the dirsize backend for quota didn't support any rules and figured it should be easy enough to add ``ignore'' at least. Using mbox storage and only tested with that, but it seems to work as expected for the time being. I'm attaching a relatively small patch for quota-dirsize.c against dovecot-1.1.18 just in case anyone's interested. Best Regards, Thanos Chatziathanassiou

[Dovecot] IMAP timeout problem
by Vasantha Narayan 04 Sep '09

04 Sep '09

Hello, We are running dovecot 1.1.2 on a Solaris 10 box. We have been running the same configuration for about a year without a problem. We have a different cert for POP and IMAP. Recently we made two changes. The cert for IMAP expired and we had to install a new one. We applied some patches to the SAN disks that hosts the mail partition. These changes were made over a weekend and the system was rebooted. There were no errors in the logs and everything worked fine until the following Monday morning when IMAP connections increased. When IMAP ports started getting hammered in the morning, IMAP clients started getting "IMAP time out" errors. When this error occurs, IMAP freezes and IMAP clients such as, Thunderbird and Squirrelmail are not able to connect to the IMAP server (both IMAP and IMAPS). We cannot get a telnet connection to the IMAP port or a openssl connection to the IMAPS port. Kill -HUP of the dovecot server solves the problem. But again, when the usage increases, the problem surfaces again. There is no problem with POP or POPS. It continues to function normally while IMAP times out and freezes two or three times a day. Any clue where the problem might be? The debug log does not have any useful pointers. Thanks. Vasantha

[Dovecot] External auth database process
by Aaron Roberts 04 Sep '09

04 Sep '09

Hi, Is it possible to call a completely external process to authenticate users in dovecot? I am trying to setup a transparent pop3 proxy that will lookup users from a couple of different pop3 servers, authenticate to 1 of them, take a copy of the password and a timestamp and client IP upon success, then proxy to the appropriate end server. I was hoping I would be able to do something along the lines of: dovecot.conf: passdb external args = /usr/scripts/dovecot_auth.pl %u %w The perl script would then carry out the various tasks and return the host and destuser for proxying. Thanks in advance, Aaron

[Dovecot] lmtp server
by fernando＠dfcom.com.br 03 Sep '09

03 Sep '09

I believe that dovecot lmtp server will be released with 2.0 version. I working at a project that requires an lmtp server to have scalability. How about the stability of the actual version (alpha, beta ?). Is it mature to be used at production environment ? Another question, my 'ideal' setup would be to receive a message by lmtp and delivers it to an external command (like maildrop). Would it be possible. ? Best Regards, Fernando

Hi, I´m using a multi-storage architecture in my email environment and maildrop as deliver command at mta. But to this deliver the mx servers mount nfs partitions - we need to use maildrop because many patches we inserted. How can I insert a piece of code at maildrop allowing it to update the dovecot indexes (which lib and/or function from dovecot I need to use ?) Best Regards, Fernando

[Dovecot] Question about sieve script execution
by Mel Flynn 03 Sep '09

03 Sep '09

Hi, after reading the wiki about sieve_before/sieve_after and sieve_global_path, it's still unclear to me if: sieve_before scripts are executed if no user script exists, but a global script is defined. The reason I ask, is because I'd like to use the same script, so that I don't have to maintain two scripts to apply "company policy" or "global features". It seems implicit from this sentence, but I've been taught not to assume implicitness by various pieces of software ;) "This is not possible using the sieve_global_path setting, because that is only used when the user's private script does not exist." -- Mel

[Dovecot] Sieve segfault on sieve-before scripts

[Dovecot] POP3 and AVG
by Rick Romero 02 Sep '09

02 Sep '09

Is anyone running v 1.2.3 and have clients with AVG email scanning? I upgraded a server a few weeks ago (which ran Dovecot and the Maildir mail store), and all of a sudden clients with AVG were unable to use POP. Essentially, AVG freezes. The server upgrade was from FreeBSD 7 to OpenSolaris 2009.06, and I did upgrade the Dovecot version from 1.1.17 to 1.2.3, but kept the same config. When I point those users to a port running qmail-popup on another machine (NFS mounting the new server), they work fine. I'm sure I reverted to 1.1.17 during the initial hectic days, with no change. Of course, I'm also sure I had a few of the users test the alternate qmail-popup server, maybe they did it wrong. :( Any thoughts?

[Dovecot] Smartsieve patch on Dovecot wiki?
by Ronald Johnson 02 Sep '09

02 Sep '09

I am attempting to get smartsieve 1.0 RC2 working with our test install of dovecot, but can not locate the Managesieve.php fix listed on the ManageSieve page: http://wiki.dovecot.org/ManageSieve/Clients Does anyone know of another location to get this fix? I've googled around, but not found an alternate location. We're running: dovecot-1.2.3 dovecot-1.2-sieve-0.1.12 dovecot-1.2-managesieve-0.11.9 The managesieve server is working fine for other ManageSieve clients such as Roundcube's managesieve and sieverules plugins, it is only smartsieve I am having problems with. Any pointers are appreciated. Cheers, Ron --

Re: [Dovecot] Question about ACL/flags

Quoting Timo Sirainen <tss(a)iki.fi>: > You can't have per-user seen flags with mbox currently. So create a > public namespace with a maildir location and set up dovecot-acl file in > a way that allows only some specific users access to it. So for example: To refresh, I want a shared account, but my system was Dovecot 1.1 with all mbox mailboxes. Well, this is what I've done so far: 1) Upgraded to dovecot 1.2 (just because I could, I guess) 2) Tried to setup private/public namespaces... Edited "dovecot -n" output: # 1.2.4: /etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.18-128.4.1.el5.centos.plus x86_64 CentOS release 5.3 (Final) [...] mail_location: mbox:~/mail/:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u:INDEX=/var/dovecot/indexes/ %u [...] mail_plugins(default): zlib acl mail_plugins(imap): zlib acl mail_plugins(pop3): zlib [...] namespace: type: private separator: / inbox: yes list: yes subscriptions: yes namespace: type: public separator: / prefix: shared/ location: maildir:/var/spool/mail/public:INDEX=/var/dovecot/indexes/public/%u list: no lda: postmaster_address: postmaster(a)physics.utexas.edu hostname: mail.ph.utexas.edu log_path: info_log_path: syslog_facility: mail auth default: passdb: driver: ldap args: /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf userdb: driver: ldap args: /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf plugin: acl: vfile 3) Created /var/spool/mail/public/.myfolder for the account to deliver to. Created empty dovecot-shared file for it. 4) Created a .forward file in the account to run "deliver" which does in fact deliver the account's email to the right maildir location. 5) Created /var/spool/mail/public/.myfolder/dovecot-acl which has something like: owner lrwstiekxa user=me lrwstiekxa user=you lrst So, mail is delivered to this account correctly as a maildir mailbox. But, I don't know how to read it, and/or configured something incorrectly. It appears to be there, more or less: a0 namespace * NAMESPACE (("" "/")) NIL (("shared/" "/")) a0 OK Namespace completed. a0 list "" "shared/" * LIST (\Noselect \HasNoChildren) "/" "shared/" a0 OK List completed. But I can't figure out how to access it (either manuall via telnet as above, or from a client, etc). So, how do I access it, and/or what did I do wrong? While I've been doing email servers since the 1980's, this is my first try at using IMAP namespaces and shared folders, and I'm just not getting it... :( -- Eric Rostetter The Department of Physics The University of Texas at Austin This message is provided "AS IS" without warranty of any kind, either expressed or implied.

[Dovecot] Hang on login since 1.2.4

I upgraded a number of servers to Dovecot 1.2.4, and now suddenly I get a lot of customers saying it takes a long time for them to log in.

[Dovecot] Global ACL configuration problems: mailboxes not visible, set ACLs not honoured
by Andreas Ntaflos 01 Sep '09

01 Sep '09

Hi list, I am having trouble getting global ACLs to work correctly. This is, I assume, an issue separate from the one I reported a few days ago [1], where the imap process crashes when creating subfolders of folders with an ACL set. As you can see from my 'dovecot -n' output below I have three namespaces; two private ("Backup" and the default, empty one) and one public ("Public"). I also use the autocreate plugin to create a few standard folders. Those folders, along with some others, should have some special permissions and restrictions in place. I.e. messages must not be deletable, the mailbox itself may not be deleted, etc. I want to use global ACLs so that I don't have to put a dovecot-acl file in every folder that I want to have an ACL set. Thus, according to the wiki, if have set acl:vfile:/etc/dovecot/acls I can create files named "Sent", "Trash", "Drafts", "INBOX.Spam" and "Backup.sent", "Backup.received", "Public.Spam", "Public.Ham" in the directory /etc/dovecot/acls. These files contain the ACL, such as "owner lrp", "owner lrwsipk" and "authenticated lrwstipk". Any and all "dovecot-acl-list" files have been deleted before testing and reproducing that problem again just now. Is there anything more to it? I ask, because I can't seem to get it to work correctly using this approach with global ACLs. Problems include: - Can't get the mailboxes "Spam" and "Ham" under the "Public" namespace to show up in the mail client (Thunderbird, KMail, Horde/IMP) at all. These have the ACL "authenticated lrwstipk" set so the should be visible to authenticated clients, shouldn't they? All I see is the namespace with no mailboxes beneath it. - Deleting messages from the "Backup.sent" or "Backup.received" mailboxes is possible from Thunderbird, KMail and Horde/IMP, despite having the ACL "owner rlp" set, which, if I understand correctly, should only allow users to lookup, read and post to the mailing list via LDA/Sieve. What am I doing wrong? It seems to me that the global ACL files for namespaces other than the empty one are not at all considered? Do I have to use another notation for the ACL file names? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance! Configuration information follows.

[Dovecot] NTLM failures with an interesting twist

This is a tired old topic but I've at least got an angle on it: Outlook Express works perfectly with IMAP / SPA for users logged into our Windows domain; I just give the server address and username, and it logs in without any password required; beautiful! auth_ntlm_use_winbind = yes auth_winbind_helper_path = /usr/bin/ntlm_auth auth default { mechanisms = ntlm userdb static { args = uid=500 gid=500 home=/var/mail/%u allow_all_users=yes } } Dovecot is the 1.1.13-2~bpo50+1 package from backports.org on Debian lenny, with winbind 3.2.5 Aug 28 23:49:38 ccimap dovecot: auth(default): client in: AUTH#0111#011NTLM#011service=imap#011lip=10.6.1.82#011rip=10.6.1.81#011lport=143#011rport=1205 Aug 28 23:49:38 ccimap dovecot: auth(default): client out: CONT#0111#011 Aug 28 23:49:38 ccimap dovecot: auth(default): client in: CONT#0111#011TlRMTVNTUAABAAAAB7IIogIAAgAvAAAABwAHACgAAAAFASgKAAAAD01SSklHR1NBRA== Aug 28 23:49:38 ccimap dovecot: auth(default): client out: CONT#0111#011TlRMTVNTUAACAAAABAAEADAAAAAFgominEGMs1Rz3YQAAAAAAAAAAGYAZgA0AAAAQQBEAAIABABBAEQAAQAMAEMAQwBJAE0AQQBQAAQAGgBsAGEAdABlAHIAbwBvAG0AcwAuAGMAbwBtAAMAKABjAGMAaQBtAGEAcAAuAGwAYQB0AGUAcgBvAG8AbQBzAC4AYwBvAG0AAAAAAA== Aug 28 23:49:38 ccimap dovecot: auth(default): client in: CONT#0111#011TlRMTVNTUAADAAAAGAAYAGYAAAAYABgAfgAAAAQABABIAAAADAAMAEwAAAAOAA4AWAAAAAAAAACWAAAABYKIogUBKAoAAAAPQQBEAG0AagBpAGcAZwBzAE0AUgBKAEkARwBHAFMAKYRSdfpULaQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAj90Vff2FIU1+Gs/eei8bL8dMJFGZnzSg Aug 28 23:49:38 ccimap dovecot: auth(default): client out: OK#0111#011user=mjiggs Aug 28 23:49:38 ccimap dovecot: auth(default): master in: REQUEST#0112#0111869#0111 Aug 28 23:49:38 ccimap dovecot: auth(default): passwd(mjiggs,10.6.1.81): lookup Aug 28 23:49:38 ccimap dovecot: auth(default): master out: USER#0112#011mjiggs#011system_user=mjiggs#011uid=10416#011gid=10000#011home=/home/AD/mjiggs Aug 28 23:49:38 ccimap dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<mjiggs>, method=NTLM, rip=10.6.1.81, lip=10.6.1.82 So, Outlook Express works.

[Dovecot] v2.0 configuration paths
by Timo Sirainen 01 Sep '09

01 Sep '09

In Dovecot v2.0 I'm splitting dovecot-example.conf to multiple files. It's probably annoying to have tons of dovecot-*-example.conf files, so what do you think about: 1. Change default sysconfdir from $prefix/etc to $prefix/etc/dovecot (that's what most distros do anyway) 2. Install *.conf files to $sysconfdir/example/ without the "-example" part in any of the config files. So new installations would then start with "mv example/* ."

[Dovecot] Active IMAP sessions per server?
by Brent Bloxam 31 Aug '09

31 Aug '09

Hi, I'm curious about some of the larger dovecot installs out there and what your current active user load looks like per server. Realistically, how many active IMAP sessions are some of you maintaining? At what point did you find the load became unmanageable? I know there's a lot of different factors involved in this, but I'm just looking to get a rough idea of what I can expect to be able to handle with dovecot. Any help is appreciated Regards, Brent
