[Dovecot] Problem with Courier POP3 Migration to dovecot POP3
by Ashraf 11 Jun '09

11 Jun '09

Hi Timo/all Help me please, i am in the process of migrating courier to dovecot 1.1.14. I want to do migration as users loging so i am using this script * http://www.dovecot.org/tools/courier-dovecot-migrate.pl *, When i do use post-logging script to migrate* POP3*, its downloading messages again (*Duplicating messages)* , as some of our users prefer to leave messages on server. If i run the script manually on particular users home directory and try to download it *still duplicating messages, *as its creating whole new set of dovecot files. * * About my environment -- MailDir's stored in NFS location -- User Authenticated using MySQL my dovecot.conf looks like base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/ protocols = imap pop3 listen = *, [::] log_path =/var/log/dovecot.log info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-info.log ssl_disable = yes login_process_per_connection = no login_processes_count = 10 login_max_processes_count = 128 login_max_connections = 256 login_greeting = Dovecot ready. mail_location = maildir:~/ mail_debug = yes mmap_disable = yes dotlock_use_excl = yes mail_nfs_index = yes lock_method = dotlock mail_drop_priv_before_exec = yes first_valid_uid = 195 max_mail_processes = 512 mail_process_size = 256 mailbox_idle_check_interval = 20 protocol imap { } protocol pop3 { *mail_executable = /usr/libexec/dovecot/postpop3.sh* mail_max_userip_connections = 10 pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh } auth_verbose = yes auth_debug = yes auth default { mechanisms = plain passdb sql { args = /etc/dovecot-mysql.conf } userdb sql { args = /etc/dovecot-mysql.conf } user = root } dict { } plugin { } ---- my postloggin script -- $ cat /usr/libexec/dovecot/postpop3.sh #!/bin/sh # WARNING: Be sure to use mail_drop_priv_before_exec=yes, # otherwise the files are created as root! /usr/libexec/dovecot/courier-dovecot-migrate.pl --quiet --to-dovecot --recursive --convert ${HOME} # This is for pop3 exec /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3 ---- Please advise am i doing something wrong, please guide me, let me know if you need any more info about my setup. -- Regards Ashraf

[Dovecot] Quota over NFS with inode limit
by Patrick Domack 11 Jun '09

11 Jun '09

I tried searching this list, but couldn't find anything related to inode limits except for linux quotas. I wanted to add sieve support for our users, so was attempting to get our email system to use dovecot's deliver lda to handle email, instead of postfix's virtual lda, using maildir mailstore. When I did this, I noticed that emails would get stuck in the queue if a user was over quota, this got fixed when I added in quota support, and set it up to check it using the line: quota = fs:User quota:user:inode_per_mail Now if a user excedes disk space via quota, it's bounced with a message. But if a user excedes their inode quota, it's still tempfail and hangs in the queue till it expires. I just wanted to know if anyone knows about this issue, if I made a stupid mistake or anything else, before I go digging into the source.

Hi all, Dovecot with the "new Sieve" works fine, but 1 - how to have a global script AND 1 script per virtual maibox ? 2 - how to allow a user to change this script (from Thunderbird or Outlook) Thanks JM

[Dovecot] record points outside file error with dovecot revision 9116:9ae55b68cf61
by Jonathan Siegle 11 Jun '09

11 Jun '09

I use mbox with mbox-snarf plugin. I get errors like: dovecot: IMAP(testuser): Corrupted index cache file /full/path/ dovecot.index.cache: record points outside file The errors can be in either folders or INBOX. I put some syslog statements in src/lib-index/mail-cache-lookup.c to help understand this. if (offset + sizeof(*rec) > cache->mmap_length) { mail_cache_set_corrupted(cache, "record points outside file"); syslog(LOG_DEBUG,"mail_cache_get_record rec->size is %d ", rec->size); syslog(LOG_DEBUG,"cache->mmap_length is %d ", cache- >mmap_length); syslog(LOG_DEBUG,"offset is %d ", offset); return -1; } syslog: mail_cache_get_record rec->size is 268595472 syslog: cache->mmap_length is 4096 syslog: offset is 1630760037 Oh I forgot to print off sizeof(*rec). Would that help? Thanks, Jonathan

[Dovecot] SELinux
by Kenneth Porter 11 Jun '09

11 Jun '09

I've temporarily got SELinux set to permissive mode on a fresh install on CentOS 5. It was blocking Dovecot's access to ~/mail because the files were labeled file_t. What's the correct way to label these?

But really, all this leads is that admin has to detect the dovecot termination and simply go and restart it manually -- after some bad thoughts. I think that a config option to restart silently (or simply kill all connected imap/pop3 instances) would be quite reasonable. Basically it is the only thing I don't like in Dovecot... and was even planning to hack the time check out of the code =)) Best wishes Eugene

Hi, Wondering if anyone could give some indication as to where to look for the cause of the following error messages. These error messages seem to occur at about the time when users are having problems logging in. Jun 8 10:33:19 host dovecot: auth(default): Master request xxxx.xxxx not found Using ldap for authentication and auth_cache is enabled, not sure if that matters. Thank you! -- Eric L. Sammons, RHCE

[Dovecot] Resync quota to mysql script
by Oli Schacher 09 Jun '09

09 Jun '09

I changed some quota options in my dovecot config (eg. excluded folders) but afaik this only affects new mail and there is no magic command to recalculate the quota (or is there?). So I wrote this little python script to do this, maybe someone finds it useful. It can output the sql statements (dovecot 1.0/1.1 and 1.2 format) or just print out quota usage to console.

Hello folk, I have trouble running /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver with ACL plugin enabled from my exim configurarion.

[Dovecot] Managesieve
by Thomas E. Deutsch 09 Jun '09

09 Jun '09

Hi I've a problem. I've built a new mailserver for our company based on dovecot (1.1.15). At the same time, our company's name has changed. The old mail addresses are forwarded to the new addresses. But I've a problem with sieve. It looks like the sieve filters are only working for the new addresses. But due to the change of the name was not long ago, most of the mails are still sent to the old addresses. What can I do to get filters also working for the old addresses? Configuration of managesieve: protocol managesieve { listen = *:2000 login_executable = /usr/lib/dovecot/managesieve-login mail_executable = /usr/lib/dovecot/managesieve sieve = /home/vmail/%Ld/%Ln/sieve/dovecot.sieve sieve_storage = /home/vmail/%Ld/%Ln/sieve managesieve_implementation_string = Cyrus timsieved v2.2.13 # mail_debug=yes } Regards, Thomas

[Dovecot] Login processes in Dovecot
by Scott Haneda 09 Jun '09

09 Jun '09

I will be deploying Dovecot on OS X shortly. I am looking for clarification on the limits imposed by OS X and sysctl [kern.maxproc]. I understand that it is defaulting to 532, but can be raised to 2500. I believe the OS uses around 100 or so, plus I will have other processes and shells at times. Does Dovecot use one process per user logged in? I find Apple Mail uses about 4 IMAP connections per account. I am not sure that my current number of mail users would be able to be supported on OS X even if I bump up to 2500. Does Dovecot use one process per user logged in differently based on IMAP versus POP? Perhaps this is something that can also be changed in Dovecot, if so, can someone point me to the docs about it, or explain the downsides of going against default behavior. If this is the case, what are my options? Does OS X server have a higher limit in their kernel, or is this across the board? Is it even possible to compile a kernel for OS X with this change, or does that generally mess things up pretty bad? FreeBSD and Solaris seem to have much higher limits, and certainly a much more approachable way of upping those limits. Does anyone know why OS X chose to set these so low, especially given that they do sell server based hardware with a server based OS. Thanks. -- Scott * If you contact me off list replace talklists@ with scott@ *

[Dovecot] Mailbox isn't a valid mbox file
by Kenneth Porter 08 Jun '09

08 Jun '09

Getting "Mailbox isn't a valid mbox file" on 1.2rc2 after transferring mail from an ancient 0.99.13 system. The first line of the file looks ok. Curiously, it's one of my archival folders of this list. Here's the first header from the top of the file: >From tss at iki.fi Sat May 1 21:48:17 2004 From: tss at iki.fi (Timo Sirainen) Date: Sat May 1 21:54:18 2004 Subject: [Dovecot] 1.0-test2 released Message-ID: <1083437297.21296.19.camel@hurina> X-IMAPbase: 1085322222 20128 Status: RO X-UID: 14065 Content-Length: 226989 X-Keywords: It would be nice if the code that verified the mailbox format would log details about what it disliked.

[Dovecot] General performance of RC5
by Joan 08 Jun '09

08 Jun '09

Hi all, Switiching to RC5, there is a visible decrease in performance to access via IMAP large accounts (>1G) with mutiple mailboxes per accounts. In RC4, there was no delay visible by a human when accessing locally. Now it takes up to 4 or 5 secs. (running on OpenSuse, mysql 5.1.35 for auth, dbox as back end) Anybody experienced also this ? Thanks Joan

Is anyone running Dovecot on AIX? I'm trying to debug the "Corrupted index cache file... record points outside file" problem. I can give gory details about what I've tried, but for now I would just like to see setups on AIX. Thanks, Jonathan

This would be great if it worked, but unfortunately this %w is empty when I try to use it. >From the documentation, it seems that this variable is only available during auth. http://wiki.dovecot.org/Variables Is there any other way I can get the plain password within the postloginscripting?

As mentioned, I¹d like to be able to log the username and password in plain text after successful login. I¹m using the mysql userdb, but the passwords are stored in MD5. I want to be able to get the password within the post login script, not from the log file. Is there any way to do this? Thanks. Donovan

[Dovecot] Multiple Dovecot instances over single mail store
by Zohan 06 Jun '09

06 Jun '09

Hi, I need to run two Dovecot instances with totally different authentication configs: first - passwordless, based on client SSL certificate; and second - regular password based (LDAP, passwd etc.). (As far as I know this cannot be achieved with single Dovecot instance; if I'm mistaken, please correct me). My intention is to give clients dual access to their mailboxes: some do own a SSL cert, others do not. I want to know whether it is possible at all. If possible, how do we implement proper concurrent access (locking, etc.) between the two instances to a single maildir-based store? I guess this should be possible since I know Dovecot can operate NFS-backed mail stores, e.g. in a load-balancing cluster setup. Second, is it OK to run the second instance in the same OS (we use Linux)? or chroot'ed or even virtualized solution will work better? Thank you! Zohan
