[Dovecot] v1.2.2 released
by Timo Sirainen 29 Jul '09

29 Jul '09

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/dovecot-1.2.2.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/dovecot-1.2.2.tar.gz.sig Found and fixes several v1.2-specific bugs. Hopefully it's now stable for most people's usage. * GSSAPI: More changes to authentication. Hopefully good now. * lazy_expunge plugin: Drop \Deleted flag when moving message. + dovecot -n/-a now outputs also lda settings. + dovecot.conf !include now supports globs (e.g. !include /etc/dovecot/*.conf). Based on patch by Thomas Guthmann. + acl: Support spaces in user/group identifiers. + shared mailboxes: If only %%n is specified in prefix, default to current user's domain. - Dovecot master process could hang if it received signals too rapidly. - Fixed "corrupted index cache file" errors (and perhaps others) caused by e.g. IMAP's FETCH BODY[] command. - IMAP: When QRESYNC is enabled, don't crash when a new mail is received while IDLEing. - IMAP: FETCH X-* parameters weren't working. - Maildir++ quota: Quota was sometimes updated wrong when it was being recalculated. - Searching quoted-printable message body internally converted "_" characters to spaces and didn't match search keys with "_". - Messages in year's first/last day may have had broken timezones with OSes not having struct tm->tm_gmtoff (e.g. Solaris). - virtual plugin: If another session adds a new mailbox to index, don't crash.

[Dovecot] dovecot-1.2.2+sieve 0.1.9: sieve issues with (global?) includes
by Tom Hendrikx 29 Jul '09

29 Jul '09

Hi, After upgrading from dovecot 1.1 to dovecot 1.2.2 and the new sieve implementation (0.1.9), I'm having some strange problems. I'm including some general purpose scripts into my user script from sieve_global_dir. After some tests it seems that ths scripts get executed at random: sometimes the mail gets stored in the correct dir, and sometimes it goes to inbox. This also happens while using the same compiled .svbin file. Another indication that something is wrong with the compiled .svbin is output of sieved (see below). Running sieved on the compiled test{1,2,3}.svbin files gives regular output. Any ideas what could be causing this? user script: =============================== require ["include"]; include :global "test1.sieve"; include :global "test2.sieve"; include :global "test3.sieve"; keep; =============================== /etc/dovecot/sieve/test1.sieve: =============================== require ["fileinto"]; if header :contains "Subject" "test1" { fileinto "sieve_test"; stop; } =============================== /etc/dovecot/sieve/test2.sieve: =============================== require ["fileinto"]; if header :contains "Subject" "test2" { fileinto "sieve_test"; stop; } =============================== /etc/dovecot/sieve/test3.sieve: =============================== require ["fileinto"]; if header :contains "Subject" "test3" { fileinto "sieve_test"; stop; } =============================== Log output with mail_debug=yes: =============================== #

[Dovecot] Random flags appearing on messages
by Michael M. Slusarz 29 Jul '09

29 Jul '09

Not reproducible every time, but every so often, after viewing an unseen message, I am seeing the first non-system flag set on the message without an intervening STORE call. Here's an example: 2 EXAMINE "XXX" (QRESYNC (1165391112 78 12160:12162,12168:12171,12173,12178,12183,12191,12360,12431,12560,12762,12765,13037,13089,13094,13196,13457,13460,13495,13548,13549,13561,13590,13597,13598)) * FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft impflag0 impflag1) * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS ()] Read-only mailbox. ... 7 UID FETCH 13608 (ENVELOPE FLAGS RFC822.SIZE BODY.PEEK[HEADER.FIELDS (LIST-POST X-PRIORITY)]) * 30 FETCH (UID 13608 FLAGS (\Recent) ... On the next access: 2 SELECT "XXX" (QRESYNC (1165391112 79 12160:12162,12168:12171,12173,12178,12183,12191,12360,12431,12560,12762,12765,13037,13089,13094,13196,13457,13460,13495,13548,13549,13561,13590,13597,13598,13608)) * FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft impflag0 impflag1) * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft impflag0 impflag1 \*)] Flags permitted. ... 3 UID FETCH 13608 (BODY[HEADER]) * 30 FETCH (UID 13608 FLAGS (\Seen \Recent impflag0) BODY[HEADER] {2529} ... As can be seen, impflag0 has been magically set somehow. Stranger still, dovecot won't let you unset the flag (this might have something to do with QRESYNC since, if I run this command without the UNCHANGEDSINCE parameter, it will unset the flag): 4 UID STORE 13608 (UNCHANGEDSINCE 82) -FLAGS (impflag0) 4 OK Store completed. FYI, I am using dovecot 1.2.1 on archlinux (they haven't upgraded the package to 1.2.2 yet, but I didn't see anything in the 1.2.2 release notes that leads me to believe this has been fixed). michael

[Dovecot] High Availability strategies
by Joseba Torre 29 Jul '09

29 Jul '09

Hi, we have a medium setup (8000 pop and imap users using almost every available client, 800GB of stored mails using maildir on a Celerra NFS server, with index files on local disks, and procmail for local delivery), being served by a Dell PowerEdge 2850 (2GB RAM and dual P4 Xeon 3,2GHz). Our current not-so-high availability setup is based on a similar server with the same setup and a easy but manual process to switch from one server to another. We are thinking about setting up some kind of serious high availability, but for every strategy we think about some problems appear, and I'd like to hear your opinions about them: - The recommended setup, with each user being sent always to the same server, is not possible because our load balancers (Cisco Catalyst 6000) can't do that. - We could put both servers behind the load balancer, and keep local index files on each server. Usually the same ip we'll be redirected to the same server, so few problems will arise. When a user is sent to a new server, index will be rebuilt so performance will be bad but we should not expect other problems, right? - We could also put the index files on a nfs share. No problems, but pretty bad performance. - We could also get more ram for the servers and keep indices in memory. How can we compare these solutions? Apart from performance, are other problems expected? Using deliver instead of procmail could improve performance? - We've also thought about some more or less weird setups, like setting up a GFS filesystem for the index files, or setting up a proxy on every server which redirect users to their fixed server, but they seem too complex for few advantages. Any recommendations? How are you doing this? -- Joseba Torre. Vicegerencia de TICs, área de Explotación

[Dovecot] Stuck with dovecot-sieve and horde-ingo ...
by Stefan G. Weichinger 29 Jul '09

29 Jul '09

Hello, dovecot-users ... as you may read at http://lists.horde.org/archives/horde/Week-of-Mon-20090706/037786.html I am stuck getting dovecot-sieve working with the ingo-application of the horde-framework. To me it seems as if ingo doesn't even trigger any request/command to managesieve ... I set "mail_debug=yes" in the managesieve-section of dovecot.conf but don't see any errors there, in fact not even loglines in /var/log/mail ... Any way to increase the loglevel here? Apache also doesn't log any errors. I am able to contact managesieve via telnet or even thunderbird's sieve-plugin. I edited the relevant backends.php over and over again, substituting, starting from scratch etc ... Could someone maybe give me some hint on how to proceed? I don't know if the problem is with dovecot or ingo or the underlying php/perl/something-stuff ... I currently use these releases: dovecot-1.2-sieve-0.1.8 dovecot-1.2-managesieve-0.11.7 dovecot-1.2.1 The server is some older Suse 10.1 ... php5-5.1.2-29.45, apache2-2.2.0-21.7, Horde Groupware Webmail Edition 1.2 # pear5 list Installed packages, channel pear.php.net: ========================================= Package Version State Archive_Tar 1.3.1 stable Console_Getopt 1.2 stable DB 1.7.12 stable Date 1.4.7 stable Log 1.9.11 stable Mail 1.1.14 stable Net_Sieve 1.1.6 stable Net_Socket 1.0.9 stable PEAR 1.4.6 stable XML_RPC 1.5.1 stable I would appreciate any input on this as this issue now already is unsolved for weeks now. And as always that is one of the features the customer wants first ;-) Aside from this dovecot is working great here, thanks ! Stefan

[Dovecot] dovecot 1.2.1 and sieve-0.9.1

Hi all, ok, can someone tell me which header fields that the "Sender" function in sieve looks at ??? I've created a sieve rule to move a mail to a directory that looks like this : # rule:[File Message] if anyof (address :contains "Sender" "Dude") { fileinto "TestFolder"; } And the emails headers look like this : Received: (qmail 5811 invoked by uid 100); 28 Jul 2009 22:33:56 -0000 X-Sieve: Dovecot Sieve 0.1.9 Delivered-To: xxxxxx-xxxxxx(a)xxxxxx.com Received: (qmail 5581 invoked from network); 28 Jul 2009 22:33:53 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO mx1.securemailscan.com) (209.132.1.198) by mda1.scaledsystems.com with SMTP; 28 Jul 2009 22:33:53 -0000 X-Envelope-From: xxxxx(a)yahoo.com X-Envelope-To: xxxxxx(a)xxxxxx.com Received: From web35801.mail.mud.yahoo.com (66.163.179.170) by mx1.securemailscan.com (MAILFOUNDRY) id uh1v8HvGEd6coQAw for xxxxxx(a)xxxxxx.com; Tue, 28 Jul 2009 22:33:52 -0000 (GMT) Received: (qmail 76116 invoked by uid 60001); 28 Jul 2009 22:33:52 -0000 DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=yahoo.com; s=s1024; t=1248820432; bh=bMaME6CgqoU7EGtJwkX2i9rjL4ONpP79bbfuft4bEok=; h=Message-ID:X-YMail-OSG:Received:X-RocketSRV:X-Mailer:Date:From:Reply-To:Subject:To:MIME-Version:Content-Type; b=as+pQdsUMeD/yiXAxceO3lYtDm/vCgjqDH1AS1OsfMfQITJV7YMRJSqBst1m4mHIgC0xyShetRIo6o3FEeLxDDOHYKUhy3V31MrS+0d7B+us4Nrjft7OZu3zVPIS87fDWoF6hM9dc9eVXTu4Kuj0a1bul0XwKIRwXqn+AfXepYg= DomainKey-Signature:a=rsa-sha1; q=dns; c=nofws; s=s1024; d=yahoo.com; h=Message-ID:X-YMail-OSG:Received:X-RocketSRV:X-Mailer:Date:From:Reply-To:Subject:To:MIME-Version:Content-Type; b=kHyfgMDzLWxu70JYhQk6KYifrtYSi7jV4T7UqqQ6XfSN+WZeTRlZ4fK6R+nb1ykwTjmp2pROJAPYgHooRPs3MaYMtx54f0+7IL8HjP0c2wqiYIy++6pFzc+mk8j+72OJMBcxMhDTPtV/i52Uu0bDEl5+DbU6QXrQhYbak6BdzLM=; Message-ID: <213398.63258.qm(a)web35801.mail.mud.yahoo.com> X-YMail-OSG: nmd_HZwVM1lT6TNyXWr2RcbN36VCejKyF4bZMN8urulX03szfpVuJD36F652_focw.1y1PwSPvcfGlWkoBsq5kEb9H_R.HWV.kcpvFe1pZGC4oWcj6Cc4uO737j.52s0kwXmru.WZEdJi..tsbkjg.8f3y_Lc4wJRFORqhFHjMoKG17xhVM8_z1olhpu_FtyrOVvTuoqaapAk3ioUOGTyEYp52oHRPQAx9TuiKojStPmtmq0AkGjDMybhQeciqJSvFJcrF6KqdL5wEjBX4G1bGGXGD61RYzUaJNGMX8FQ.tJqPEKSI1vlBU- Received: from [76.176.154.181] by web35801.mail.mud.yahoo.com via HTTP; Tue, 28 Jul 2009 15:33:52 PDT X-RocketSRV: showStationery=1248820330364@dclient.mail.yahoo.com,1248820330363@dclient.mail.yahoo.com,1248820330362@dclient.mail.yahoo.com X-Mailer: YahooMailRC/1358.22 YahooMailWebService/0.7.289.15 Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2009 15:33:52 -0700 (PDT) From: Dude Crush <xxxxxxx(a)yahoo.com> Reply-To: Dude Crush <xxxxxxx(a)yahoo.com> Subject: test from dude 2 To: xxxxxxxx(a)xxxxxxxx.com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="0-948431439-1248820432=:63258" But when the mail is delivered, it goes into the INBOX, and the dovecot message in the log file looks like this : Jul 28 15:33:56 deliver(xxxxxxx(a)xxxxxx.com): Info: sieve: msgid=<213398.63258.qm(a)web35801.mail.mud.yahoo.com>: stored mail into mailbox 'INBOX' So, I'm a little bi stumped as to why it wouldn't pick up "Dude" in any of the sender addresses... I can get it to work for the address by using # rule:[File Message] if anyof ( envelope :contains "From" "yahoo") { fileinto "TestFolder"; } But isnt' it supposed to be able to deal with the Sender name??? Thanks, Tim.

I opened a SSH session to the mail server and went to /srv/mail/ vmail/DOMAIN.COM/rventura/Maildir There i did "ll expunged/.INBOX/cur" and it showed me 300+ emails i then did "cat expunged/.INBOX/cur/the email i needed" and it showed me the email contents and since it was the one i needed i then try to do "mv expunged/.INBOX/cur/email-id" and it returned: mv: cannot stat `expunged/.INBOX/cur/ 1248796845.M207411P29102.housigma20,W=6193:2,STab': No such file or directory I do another "ll expunged/.INBOX/cur/" returns total 0.....

[Dovecot] Cannot get plaintext auth working on IMAP or POP
by crunchbytes 28 Jul '09

28 Jul '09

Server: Ubuntu 9.04 desktop edition Dovecot 1.1.11 Issue: I have set dovecot.conf with: disable_plaintext_auth = no but everytime I have a client (Windows Live Mail, ubuntu evolution) connect from the Internet, I have the following type of message: Plaintext authentication disallowed on non-secure (SSL/TLS) connections. in my mail.log, I have: Jul 28 15:09:43 "name" dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (tried to use disabled plaintext auth): rip=x.x.x.x, lip=x.x.x.x Unfortunately I need plaintext auth IMAP. If I VPN in and use IMAPS, it works a treat - but I can't always do this, hence needing plain old IMAP. Any ideas anyone? What am I missing?

[Dovecot] namespaces / list=no crash
by Jernej Porenta 28 Jul '09

28 Jul '09

Hey everyone, I am trying to migrate old UW-IMAP setup to dovecot 1.2.2 using namespaces as recommended for UW-IMAP backwards compatibility: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Namespaces I am trying to use these settings: mail_location = mbox:~/:INBOX=~/.mailbox # default namespace namespace private { separator = / prefix = inbox = yes } # for backwards compatibility: namespace private { separator = / prefix = mail/ hidden = yes list = no # for v1.1+ subscriptions = no } With upper settings, dovecot crashes upon login. (GDB trace is here: http://www2.arnes.si/~krklubsls13/dovecot-gdb.txt) If I change "list = no" to list = yes|children, everything is working fine. This settings were working fine with dovecot 1.1, so I don't know what is the deal... dovecot -n : http://www2.arnes.si/~krklubsls13/dovecot-conf.txt thanks in advance, regards Jernej

It compiles binaries for system from sources using ebuilds. I attach full compile log, can you tell me where stripping appear? There's no -g parameter given to gcc. The emerge overrides CFLAGS by adding -march=i686 etc. stuff in there, which also removes -g parameter. Try to figure out some way to add it back.

[Dovecot] Dovecot broken with newer OpenSSL
by Brad 28 Jul '09

28 Jul '09

After updating my system from OpenSSL 0.9.8j to 0.9.8k Dovecot has stopped functioning properly with TLS sessions. The version of Dovecot does not seem to matter as I tried 1.1.11 - 1.1.14. Other programs using SSL/TLS such as Postfix and lightty still work fine when built with the newer release of OpenSSL. The IMAP client doesn't matter. For the time being I have gone back to .13 linked against older OpenSSL. In the logs I see messages like the following... dovecot: Apr 16 23:12:18 Info: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=2001:470:b01e:3:216:41ff:fe17:6933, lip=2001:470:1d:8c::2, TLS handshaking: Disconnected -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

[Dovecot] Dovecot 1.2.2
by Guy 28 Jul '09

28 Jul '09

Hi, I've just tried upgrading from 1.1.8 to 1.2.2. As soon as the new version was started up the number of imap/pop3 processes began to climb to 800+, where I normally have about 300 or so connections at any given time. The load on the server also climbed to 150+. I've reverted back to 1.1.18, which is running just fine, but is there anything I can do to help trace what was causing the problem? Unfortunately I don't have a clue where to start. Thanks Guy -- Don't just do something...sit there!

[Dovecot] folder in dovecot
by Diego Roversi 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

Hello, I'm quite new to dovecot, and I have some questions about folders. At the moment I've a script that use fetchmail + procmail to get mail from the isp, and save the mail in different folder. The idea is to save mail from different mailing list in different folder. Now I've installed dovecot so i can read mail from different computers, and i want to export all the folders. I start with a simple configuration: root@debian:/home/diego# dovecot -n # 1.1.11: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.30-rc8 armv5tel Ubuntu 9.04 log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: maildir:~/Mail/inbox mail_debug: yes namespace: type: private separator: / location: maildir:~/Mail/inbox inbox: yes list: yes subscriptions: yes namespace: type: private separator: / prefix: openmoko/ location: maildir:~/Mail/openmoko list: yes subscriptions: yes auth default: passdb: driver: passwd-file args: /etc/passwd.dovecot userdb: driver: passwd I use icedove (thunderbird) to connect to the dovecot server and I see the two folder. But openmoko one looks empty, even if there are more then 10k messages. Without namespaces and setting mail_location pointing to the openmoko folder works, i see the messages of openmoko folder as inbox in icedove. What's wrong? Do you have any suggestion? Thanks in advance, Diego Roversi.

[Dovecot] v1.1.18 released
by Timo Sirainen 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/dovecot-1.1.18.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/dovecot-1.1.18.tar.gz.sig A few more fixes to v1.1 series. It probably won't have many released left. + dovecot -n/-a now outputs also lda settings. - Maildir++ quota: Quota was sometimes updated wrong when it was being recalculated. - Searching quoted-printable message body internally converted "_" characters to spaces and didn't match search keys with "_". - Messages in year's first/last day may have had broken timezones with OSes not having struct tm->tm_gmtoff (e.g. Solaris).

[Dovecot] Funky quota things
by Guy 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

Hi guys, I already use Dovecot for imap/pop3 with some simple quota options. I'm starting to look at the switch from maildrop to dovecot lda and I'm wondering whether it's possible to do our unusual quota management with the quota plugin. We have the users total quota in MySQL along with a number of grace days (counts up to 7). The amount of space used is stored in maildirsize in the users maildir. What we currently some bits of voodoo which allow the user to go up to 200% of their quota. When they go over 100% they start receiving warnings and their grace days start counting down. If the account is still using over 100% of quota after the 7 days then the 100% quota is enforced so no new mail will be accepted. So is something like this "burst" quota possible in the Dovecot plugin? Thanks Guy -- Don't just do something...sit there!

[Dovecot] Sylpheed-claws and virtual mailboxes
by Thomas Berker 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

Hi! Has someone encountered the following problem? What am I doing wrong or does someone know a workaround? Dovecot 1.2.1 on Debian unstable, two namespaces: namespace private { prefix = location = maildir:~/res/Maildir:LAYOUT=fs inbox = yes list = yes } namespace private { prefix = gtd/ separator = / list = yes location = virtual:~/res/Maildir/gtd:LAYOUT=fs:INBOX=~/res/Maildir/gtd } The problem: cur, tmp, new maildir folders get created within the folder gtd when it is opened by Sylpheed-claws (3.7.1). Subfolders in gtd holding the dovecot-virtual files are not recognised as mail folders at all, they show up but do nothing. Other clients (I have tested thunderbird, evolution) work as expected: they show the folder gtd and the sub-folders perform searches. Thanks in advance, tb

[Dovecot] Problems with ioloop on MacOS
by David Abrahams 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

I've been using the macports version of dovecot, which is 1.1.11, on MacOS 10.5.6 $ /opt/local/sbin/dovecot --exec-mail imap Fatal: kevent(EV_ADD, 0) failed: Operation not supported This version is configured --with-ioloop=kqueue The problem seems to be known, if not understood: http://lists.apple.com/archives/Darwin-userlevel/2008/Dec/msg00010.html However, if I use --with-ioloop=poll, I eventually get IMAP(dave): [9079]: invalid I/O fd 0, callback 0x9330 (not from the above command; it's a little later when Gnus tries to interact with dovecot through the shell) I've been unable to build/install any later versions of dovecot on MacOS. autogen.sh fails like this: ... glibtoolize: putting auxiliary files in `.'. glibtoolize: copying file `./ltmain.sh' glibtoolize: Consider adding `AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4])' to configure.in and glibtoolize: rerunning glibtoolize, to keep the correct libtool macros in-tree. glibtoolize: Consider adding `-I m4' to ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS in Makefile.am. configure.in:281: installing `./config.guess' configure.in:282: required file `./config.rpath' not found configure.in:281: installing `./config.sub' configure.in:5: installing `./install-sh' configure.in:5: installing `./missing' src/auth/Makefile.am: installing `./depcomp' autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1 -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
