[Dovecot] Virtual mailbox plugin, 4 days of struggling
by Brandon Lamb 28 Apr '09

28 Apr '09

Hello, I finally got an INBOX to work, but is virtual mailbox plugin only meant to create a virtual inbox, or should I be able to have an Allmails virtual folder that is viewable in my imap client? if ~/virtual/ is my location, would I create an Allmails directory in the virtual/ or virtual/INBOX/Allmails. Im fairly confused on how this is suppose to work. I was trying to duplicate the gmail-like setup on the wiki but I cant get it work. Per the wiki, i put in the userdb inbox select, but made swapped pop3 for imap zeus:/etc/dovecot# dovecot -n # 1.2.rc3: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.26-1-amd64 x86_64 Debian squeeze/sid base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/ log_path: /var/log/dovecot/dovecot.log info_log_path: /var/log/dovecot/info.log log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: imap pop3 lda listen: 208.200.251.181 ssl: no disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login login_greeting: Hello there. login_log_format_elements: <%u> <%r> login_log_format: %s login_process_per_connection: no login_process_size: 128 login_processes_count: 4 login_max_processes_count: 20 login_max_connections: 128 mail_max_userip_connections(default): 15 mail_max_userip_connections(imap): 15 mail_max_userip_connections(pop3): 1 verbose_proctitle: yes first_valid_uid: 8 last_valid_uid: 8 first_valid_gid: 8 last_valid_gid: 8 mail_access_groups: mail mail_privileged_group: mail mail_uid: 8 mail_gid: 8 mail_location: maildir:~/:INDEX=dovecot-index mailbox_idle_check_interval: 60 mail_debug: yes fsync_disable: yes mailbox_list_index_disable: no mail_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugins(default): quota imap_quota virtual autocreate mail_plugins(imap): quota imap_quota virtual autocreate mail_plugins(pop3): quota mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3 mail_log_prefix: %Ls <%u>: imap_client_workarounds(default): outlook-idle delay-newmail imap_client_workarounds(imap): outlook-idle delay-newmail imap_client_workarounds(pop3): pop3_no_flag_updates(default): no pop3_no_flag_updates(imap): no pop3_no_flag_updates(pop3): yes pop3_client_workarounds(default): pop3_client_workarounds(imap): pop3_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh pop3_logout_format(default): top=%t/%p, retr=%r/%b, del=%d/%m, size=%s pop3_logout_format(imap): top=%t/%p, retr=%r/%b, del=%d/%m, size=%s pop3_logout_format(pop3): retr=%r/%b, del=%d/%m, size=%s namespace: type: private separator: / hidden: yes list: yes subscriptions: yes namespace: type: private separator: / prefix: virtual/ location: virtual:~/virtual:INDEX=~/dovecot-index list: yes subscriptions: yes namespace: type: private separator: / prefix: RealMails/ hidden: yes list: no subscriptions: yes auth default: mechanisms: plain login default_realm: pacwebdev.com cache_ttl: 60 debug: yes worker_max_count: 60 passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: prefetch userdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf socket: type: listen client: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-client mode: 438 user: mail group: mail master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 438 user: mail group: mail plugin: quota: maildir quota_rule: Trash:ignore quota_rule2: Sent:ignore quota_rule3: Spam:ignore quota_rule4: Archive:ignore quota_rule5: Sent Items:ignore quota_rule6: Deleted Items:ignore quota_warning: storage=95%% /etc/dovecot/quota-warning.sh 95 quota_warning2: storage=80%% /etc/dovecot/quota-warning.sh 80 autocreate: Trash autocreate2: Spam autosubscribe: Trash autosubscribe2: Spam auth_socket_path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master

[Dovecot] Dovecot auth user lookup patch for maildrop
by mr.maX 26 Apr '09

26 Apr '09

Hi, recently I started using maildrop as a MDA doing lightweight filtering in a Postfix/Dovecot mail server combo. Only thing missing was the fact that maildrop couldn't perform user lookups against a user database that was already being served by Dovecot (for smtp auth in Postfix and for imap access obviously) in order to easily determinate proper mailbox location and home directory of my "virtual" users when delivering e-mails. I wanted to avoid having another authentication daemon running (Courier Authlib) that would be serving this data to maildrop, so I've spent some time to write an extension for maildrop that would allow it to do user lookups directly against Dovecot in a similar way how they are done by Dovecot's LDA deliver. For everyone that are using maildrop in a similar setup that may be interested in this extension, a patch against maildrop version 2.0.4 can be downloaded from the following location: http://www.max.rs/ozone/maildrop-2.0.4-dovecotauth.patch.txt When this patch is applied, maildrop will be extended with another command line option "-t", which can be used to specify the location of Dovecot's master auth socket that will be used when performing user lookups. There's a readme file (README.dovecotauth) together with patch with a little bit more information regarding the use of this extension. I hope that some of you may find my modification to maildrop useful. -- Best Regards, Marko Njezic - mr.maX @ MAX Interactive corp.

[Dovecot] Virtual mailboxes, howto, examples, help? =)
by Brandon Lamb 24 Apr '09

24 Apr '09

Using 1.2rc3 maildir format maildir /mail/example.com/j/johndoe/{cur,new,tmp} Is there more documentation and examples on how to configure virtual mailboxes, or maybe more info on what it is suppose to do? From what I could understand on the wiki, i could create a fake/virtual folder under /mail/example.com/j/johndoe/virtual/allmail/ and inside that dir create dovecot-virtual with INBOX all And then in my mail client i would see virtual/allmail and when i click that folder it shows me mail from all my normal maildir folders? Is my thinking of how to use virtual mailboxes totally off, or am I trying to use it for what it is suppose to be used for? So far i have been messing with various values = yes/no using the following namespace private { prefix = virtual/ separator = / # location = virtual:~/virtual location = virtual:~/virtual:LAYOUT=maildir++ list = yes inbox = no subscriptions = yes hidden = no } # The default namespace that is visible to IMAP clients namespace private { prefix = separator = / location = maildir:~/ list = yes inbox = yes subscriptions = yes hidden = no } I dont know if I am retarded in my lack of ability to figure this out or what

[Dovecot] bad maildir location
by denis 23 Apr '09

23 Apr '09

Hi, I use dovecot 1.0.15 on Debian Lenny. In my /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf, i use user_query = SELECT path, 33 AS uid, uid AS gid FROM mail_users WHERE alias = '%u' The result is something like this /var/alternc/mail/d/denis_collectifs.net and is the correct location (the Maildir is created by an script) But the problem is that dovecot creates (when you log in for the first time) a directory in the form of the exact address. Here for example, /var/alternc/mail/d/denis(a)collectifs.net And so all connections will be on an empty location. How is it possible to resolve this? As mail_location I have this "maildir:/var/alternc/mail/%1u/%u/Maildir" which is not really correct. Thanks Denis PS: For now, I temporarily symlinks /var/alternc/mail/d/denis(a)collectifs.net /var/alternc/mail/d/denis_collectifs.net

by Kyle Wheeler 23 Apr '09

23 Apr '09

Hello, I recently upgraded from Dovecot 1.1.8 to 1.1.14, and I've started to get errors I never got before. Specifically, I'm getting "Mailbox is locked, will abort in xx seconds" errors. My mail client (mutt) will just sit there in the background (presumably in IDLE) and randomly will show this error (I THINK it has something to do with delivering new messages to the folder; I use the dovecot LDA). Nothing else about my configuration has changed, just the version of dovecot. Does anyone know what could be causing these? I assume it has something to do with the index files, but... Nothing interesting shows up in the log files. How do I get rid of these error messages? Or even begin tracking them down? For what it's worth, mail is stored on the server in Maildirs, and the lock_method is fcntl, the mbox_write_locks is fcntl (I don't set mbox_read_locks). ~Kyle -- For to accuse, requires less eloquence, such is man's nature, than to excuse; and condemnation, than absolution more resembles justice. -- Hobbes, Leviathan

[Dovecot] overnight clients causing lockfiles to be converted to root-owned messages on debian lenny
by Brett Dikeman 23 Apr '09

23 Apr '09

Greetings all, After running for more than a year without issue on debian lenny while it was in the testing- we're now experiencing problems under Lenny/Stable. Dovecot now converts some sort of lockfile into messages, and they're owned by root. The result is a mess; clients can't read their mailboxes with the root-owned files, and when the file is changed to be owned by them, many mail clients don't like the zero-length message (Outlook being one major client with this "problem".) This happens to users who leave their email clients open overnight. I haven't found a cronjob that could be responsible for this. Further details- 64 bit machine, we use maildir, /var/spool/mail is on an xfs volume, and we run postfix, procmail, and spamassassin. Dovecot version is 1.0.15; the machine is fully up-to-date with Debian Stable (Lenny.) Sample log entry of the aftermath; please pardon the sanitizing (host/username): Apr 22 00:08:34 host dovecot: IMAP(user): Fixed a duplicate: 1240289413.9181_0.host:2,S.lock -> 1240373314.P6717Q0M159857.host Apr 22 00:08:34 host dovecot: IMAP(user): Fixed a duplicate: 1240356531.15928_0.host:2,S.lock -> 1240373314.P9995Q3.host Apr 22 00:08:34 host dovecot: IMAP(user): open(/var/spool/mail/user/Maildir/cur/1240373314.P6717Q0M159857.host:2,) failed: Permission denied Brett

[Dovecot] expire-tool
by Jeff Rice 23 Apr '09

23 Apr '09

Hi, I'm having some trouble getting the expire plugin to work, and I'm not sure where to turn for troubleshooting. This is on 1.2rc3. To my dovecot.conf, I've added: mail_plugins = expire under the protocol imap and lda sections. I also added: dict { expire = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-expire.conf } plugin { expire = Trash 30 Trash/* 30 Spam 30 expire_dict = proxy::expire auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master } /etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-expire.conf contains: -- connect = host=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock dbname=email user=XXX password=XXX map { pattern = shared/expire/$user/$mailbox table = expires value_field = expire_stamp fields { username = $user mailbox = $mailbox } } -- I created the table and granted all permissions to the user. The socket is the same one used by the auth_socket process, so that should work. Dovecot restarts fine, but the table is empty. A couple questions: First, the mailboxes to expire are stored as user(a)domain/.INBOX.Trash. How should I list them in the conf file? Also, is there any way to have the system come up to date since older emails already exist in those boxes and should be deleted. Will it detect those, or only start to delete old emails that were delivered after the plugin was enabled? Second, should the table be empty if mail has been delivered & deleted since I enabled the plugin? I assumed it would start to fill. Jeff

[Dovecot] Quota for Shared Folders
by Anton Dollmaier 22 Apr '09

22 Apr '09

Good morning list, first of all: dovecot works really great, the performance is overwhelming (especially compared to courier), the configuration flexible as hell, it is good documented - I love this software. But as things get complicated, I think I need some additional help. I'm using dovecot to replace the currently used courier-mailserver in a shared hosting environment based on the control panel Confixx. Confixx uses per default filesystem-users, giving each mailuser a filesystem-quota, mails are stored in ~/Maildir/. The imap-logins are all in the form of "webxpy", being "webx" the customer (prefix 'web', and a increasing number), and "py" the number of the pop account. Because of the filesystem-quota we moved the indexes to another partition. This basic setup with dovecot works great, with auth directly against the confixx-database etc, imap_quota-plugin, quota-plugin working as expected. We now want to implement shared folders for each customer: all mailaccounts of a customer should be able to subscribe to per-customer shared folders in a specified maildir, thus I re-mapped the usernames with a new user_query (and password_query) to the format of "webxpy@webx" - being "webx" the virtual domain and "webxpy" the mailaccount, but still using "webxpy" as the imap-login (no need for customers to change the login). This also works, we even can control with ACL-vfiles the permissions of specified users, to enable or disable specific folders. The shared folders are specified as a new public namespace and the "domain" is part of the storage-path (see configuration at the end of this mail). To allow easier quota-management (no need to create a new system-user), the quota of the shared folders is maildir-based, with a mysql-quota-dictionary (later, all accounts will be migrated to a virtual-user-mailstorage, with only maildir-quota and no fs-quotas). But when things come to the shared quota, I currently don't know how to solve the wishes of the customer: The current solution for shared folders (at the customer's local site) is based on mdaemon, every shared folder (of a customer, not a single mail-account) has a quota assigned. This quota cannot be exceeded by the users, no more mails can be saved into the shared folders if used space exceeds the hard quota-value. As my tests have shown, dovecot uses a different approach to the quota-issue: users can always move their mails from local folders to the shared namespace, regardless of the shared quota. The quota itself is only checked when receiving new mails, where the combined quota (local + shared) may not be exceeded. If it is, the mail is not delivered to the mailbox. Our quota-config is this: > quota_rule: *:storage=50M:messages=1000 > quota_rule2: Trash:storage=50M:messages=100 > quota_rule3: shared*:storage=100M:messages=1000 (also being altered by user_query, but the scheme is the same) As of dovecot-wiki, this means: Users can save "50M + 50M + 100M" of mails in all specified Folders, so the storage-value for the "shared*"-folders works additionally to the "*"-storage-value. Different from this, we want the following to happen: If the customer exceeds the shared folders-quota, his mail-users may not move mails from INBOX to shared, this move-operation should fail with a reasonable error-message. If the local quota of a mail user is exceeded, new mails should be rejected/delayed, regardless of the shared quota-value (e.g., shared quota exceeded, but no local mails [new mail-account], mails should be delivered to INBOX). Sieve-filters are not a problem, we do not allow user-specific sieve-rules (managesieve is disabled). Hopefully, I could explain my issues to you. Our current dovecot-configuration is attached to this mail, any help would be gladly appreciated. If additional configuration-values/information is needed, I'll happily provide them, if possible. best regards, Anton Dollmaier > # 1.1.13: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf > # OS: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 i686 Debian 5.0.1 > log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S > protocols: imap imaps pop3s pop3 > listen: *, [::] > ssl_cert_file: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.pem > ssl_key_file: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.pem > disable_plaintext_auth: no > login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login > login_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login > login_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login > login_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-login > mail_max_userip_connections(default): 25 > mail_max_userip_connections(imap): 25 > mail_max_userip_connections(pop3): 10 > first_valid_uid: 249 > mail_access_groups: poponly > mail_privileged_group: poponly > mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir:INDEX=~/index:CONTROL=~/control > mail_debug: yes > mail_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap > mail_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap > mail_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 > mail_plugins(default): quota imap_quota acl > mail_plugins(imap): quota imap_quota acl > mail_plugins(pop3): quota acl > mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap > mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap > mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/pop3 > imap_client_workarounds(default): netscape-eoh > imap_client_workarounds(imap): netscape-eoh > imap_client_workarounds(pop3): > pop3_client_workarounds(default): > pop3_client_workarounds(imap): > pop3_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh > namespace: > type: private > separator: . > inbox: yes > list: yes > subscriptions: yes > namespace: > type: private > prefix: INBOX. > hidden: yes > subscriptions: yes > namespace: > type: public > separator: . > prefix: shared. > location: maildir:/var/mail/shared/%d/:INDEX=~/shared > list: yes > auth default: > verbose: yes > debug: yes > debug_passwords: yes > passdb: > driver: sql > args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf > userdb: > driver: sql > args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf > socket: > type: listen > client: > path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth > mode: 432 > user: postfix > group: postfix > master: > path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master > mode: 432 > user: vmail > group: vmail > plugin: > quota: dict:::proxy::quotadict > quota2: dict::%d:proxy::quota2dict > quota_rule: *:storage=50M:messages=1000 > quota_rule2: Trash:storage=50M:messages=100 > quota_rule3: shared*:storage=100M:messages=1000 > acl: vfile > expire: Trash 7 Spam 30 > expire_dict: proxy::expire > dict: > quotadict: mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-quota.conf > quota2dict: mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-quota2.conf (the two quota-dicts could probably be merged into one) /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf: > driver = mysql > connect = host=localhost dbname=confixx user=confixx password=p4ssw0rd > default_pass_scheme = CRYPT > password_query = SELECT CONCAT(account, '@', kunde) as user, longpw as password FROM pop3 WHERE (account='%u' and gesperrt='0' > user_query = SELECT CONCAT('/var/mail/vmail/', p.kunde, '/', p.account,'/') as home, 249 as uid, 249 as gid, CONCAT('*:storage=', p.maxkbhard) AS quota_rule, CONCAT('shared.*:storage=', k.shared_maxkb) as quota2_rule FROM pop3 AS p, kunden AS k WHERE k.kunde = p.kunde AND CONCAT(p.account, '@', p.kunde) = '%u' (quota-values in kilobytes) /etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-quota.conf: > connect = host=localhost dbname=confixx user=confixx password=p4ssw0rd > table = dovecot_quota > select_field = current > where_field = path > username_field = username /etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-quota2.conf: > connect = host=localhost dbname=confixx user=confixx password=p4ssw0rd > table = dovecot_quota_shared > select_field = current > where_field = path > username_field = username (tables are exactly as specified in dovecot-wiki)

[Dovecot] Segfault in ACL Plugin + user shared folders
by Markus Werner 21 Apr '09

21 Apr '09

Hi Timo, I have another problem, this time with user shared folders: User "markus" shared the folder "ForTest" to test: SETACL "INBOX/ForTest" test akxeilrwts dovecot-acl and shared-mailboxes.db have been successfully updated.

When I configure the shared namespace with "list = yes", the namespace and folder became visible and accessible, but lines like this are logged: Apr 7 22:08:58 asterix dovecot: IMAP(test): acl vfile: reading file /var/spool/dovecot/users/test/Maildir/.Shared/dovecot-acl Apr 7 22:09:03 asterix dovecot: IMAP(test): Invalid namespace prefix %u/ vs % Apr 7 22:09:03 asterix dovecot: IMAP(test): auth input: uid=2000 Apr 7 22:09:03 asterix dovecot: IMAP(test): auth input: gid=2000 Apr 7 22:09:03 asterix dovecot: IMAP(test): auth input: home=/var/spool/dovecot/users/markus Apr 7 22:09:03 asterix dovecot: IMAP(test): maildir: data=/var/spool/dovecot/users/markus/Maildir:INDEX=~/Maildir/index/shared/markus Apr 7 22:09:03 asterix dovecot: IMAP(test): maildir++: root=/var/spool/dovecot/users/markus/Maildir, index=/var/spool/dovecot/users/markus/Maildir, index=/var/spool/dovecot/users/test/Maildir/index/shared/markus, control=, inbox=/var/spool/dovecot/users/markus/Maildir Apr 7 22:09:03 asterix dovecot: IMAP(test): acl: initializing backend with data: vfile Apr 7 22:09:03 asterix dovecot: IMAP(test): acl: acl username = test Apr 7 22:09:03 asterix dovecot: IMAP(test): acl: owner = 0 Apr 7 22:09:03 asterix dovecot: IMAP(test): acl vfile: Global ACL directory: (null) Apr 7 22:09:03 asterix dovecot: IMAP(test): acl vfile: reading file /var/spool/dovecot/users/markus/Maildir/.ForTest/dovecot-acl Apr 7 22:09:08 asterix dovecot: IMAP(test): Invalid namespace prefix %u/ vs markus When I try to access the folder directly with "list = children" set, then dovecot segfaults.

[Dovecot] Dovecot -> Gmail (via POP Mail Fetcher)
by Neil 20 Apr '09

20 Apr '09

I'm trying to move my entire email store from my Dovecot installation (which I normally access via IMAP) into Gmail using Gmail's Mail Fetcher (which functions over POP); and I'm running into two problems: 1. Gmail only imported 78 out of 1000+ mails in my inbox, which I'm taking to mean that Dovecot is reporting only those 78 as new. How can I get Dovecot to send all mail over as new? 2. I can't be sure of this yet (since, due to #1, Gmail doesn't seem to be downloading everything), but I'm pretty sure Dovecot is only reporting my Inbox emails over POP; is there a way I can get all my mail, from all my folders, to stream in over POP? Thanks, Neil PS. I'm not leaving Dovecot entirely, I just need to have my mail in another place in case something happens to my server...
