[Dovecot] index storage usage
by Giorgenes Gelatti 07 Nov '08

07 Nov '08

Hello there, I failed in finding the answer in the wiki so i'm asking it here. In average, how much the dovecot's indexes increase the usage of storage, compared to a standard maildir mailbox? I believe it would be a function of the number of messages instead of the message's size. Is there a known aproximated function for that? Thank you. gpg

[Dovecot] (1.0.13) fsync failed: Disk quota exceeded for some accounts
by Eric Marin 07 Nov '08

07 Nov '08

Hello all, We've recently migrated the mail server used by our 5000 students, from Tru64/UW-IMAP/Procmail/Postfix/mbox to Debian Etch/Dovecot/Deliver/Postfix/Maildir E-mails are not stored directly on the server (except for index and control files), but on an NAS that exports the students' homedirs on NFS. Each student has a 100MB quota on the NAS. Here is the configuration : vega:~# dovecot -n # 1.0.13: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: imap pop3 listen: [::] ssl_disable: yes disable_plaintext_auth: no verbose_ssl: yes 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 login_greeting_capability(default): yes login_greeting_capability(imap): yes login_greeting_capability(pop3): no login_process_size: 32 login_max_processes_count: 1024 mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir:INDEX=/var/mail/index/%u:CONTROL=/var/mail/control/%u maildir_copy_with_hardlinks: yes maildir_copy_preserve_filename: yes mail_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 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 pop3_uidl_format(default): pop3_uidl_format(imap): pop3_uidl_format(pop3): %08Xu%08Xv namespace: type: private separator: / inbox: yes namespace: type: private separator: / prefix: mail/ hidden: yes auth default: cache_size: 1024 passdb: driver: pam args: blocking=yes cache_key=%u dovecot userdb: driver: passwd args: blocking=yes When one mails a student that has filled his quota, one immediately receives this message : "Your message to <studentx> was automatically rejected: Not enough disk space Reporting-UA: vega; Dovecot Mail Delivery Agent Final-Recipient: rfc822; studentx Original-Message-ID: <490F0A9A.8030109(a)utc.fr> Disposition: automatic-action/MDN-sent-automatically; deleted" And in /var/log/mail.log : (...) save failed to INBOX: Not enough disk space (...)

It gets deferred... I have looked at the changelog for Dovecot, but have not found a clear clue that is a bug (if it is !) that has already been corrected in a more recent version... Though if possible, I'd like to keep the Debian package (from etch-backports) instead of compiling it from source. Also, while I've found Dovecot's wiki to be surprisingly informative, there are still a few points that did not seem very clear : - should I use the quota:fs plugin in this case (it seems to work out well without it for most users) ? - would it work in v1.0.13 on NFS ? - if it worked, and I enabled it, what would change for me ? - what is *supposed* to happen without the quota plugin when a user has filled his quota : mail is rejected, or mail is deferred ? - and what about imap_quota ? Best regards, Eric

[Dovecot] Compiling dovecot 1.1.6 with ICC
by Steve 06 Nov '08

06 Nov '08

Hello list I have compiled PostgreSQL with ICC (Intel C/C++ compiler) and this forces me to compile dovecot 1.1.6 as well with ICC. Trying to compile it with GCC fails, telling me it can not build with PostgreSQL support since it can not find libpq (but libpq is there!). The funny part is that I can compile dovecot 1.1.6 with GCC 4.3.2 against MySQL which is build with ICC. But I can not build against PostgreSQL build with ICC. Why is that? Does any one know the reason why PostgreSQL is treated differently then MySQL in dovecot? Well... so no way to get around to build dovecote with ICC. I can build dovecot with ICC but as soon as I start it, I get a crash. Loading the core dump into GDB does not give me much info. Probably because I have not compiled dovecot with debug symbols. Currently I am doing that. Hopefully this will produce better core dumps. I will post more info as soon as I get them. But in the mean time maybe some one has a hint for me how to get dovecot 1.1.6 to build properly with ICC? // Steve -- GMX Download-Spiele: Preizsturz!

[Dovecot] Strange and sudden deletion of mails messages
by נור דאוד 06 Nov '08

06 Nov '08

Hello everyone, I'm having a bizarre problem (bug?) concerning deletion of messages from one of the mailboxes. The platform is set up as follows: FreeBSD 7-STABLE Postfix 2.6-20080411 Dovecot 1.0.13 Webmail using RoundCube 0.1-STABLE The trace (in Postfox logs) revealed that the message has been actually received, and saved to maildir, and then viewed once in Webmail. Hitting Reply in Webmail produced an error, and the letter (somehow) was nowhere to be found on the server! I have no clue what's the cause of this. Is there a way in Dovecot to catch all commands sent to the server, thus revealing who in effect deleted the message? Thanks in advance. Noor

[Dovecot] feature request for dovecot 1.2 Master users/passwords for virtual domain admins
by Robert Schetterer 06 Nov '08

06 Nov '08

Hi Timo, currently superadmins can be configured in dovecot i.e in mysql as "superadmins" this means the can log in in any mailbox on the server this is a very nice feature in real world scenarios specially for support people in postfixadmin i.e there are also defined domainadmins ( this is for delegate usermail creation/delete etc in the postfixadmingui ) in mysql it would be nice to have or simply use postfixadmins mysql domainadmins in mysql table entries to login for domainadmins only login to mailboxes of their related maildomain this would be also massiv helpfull for postmasters/support people in a full virtual setup perhaps you might get this in dovecot 1.2 before closing at beta stage -- Best Regards MfG Robert Schetterer Germany/Munich/Bavaria

[Dovecot] How do I use plus-addressing in Dovecot 1.1.x?
by Jon Fullmer 06 Nov '08

06 Nov '08

I'm using Postfix, Amavisd-new/SpamAssassin, and Dovecot. They all run on the same server (running Linux). The mailboxes are stored on the same server in maildir format. The logical path for incoming messages (as I understand it) is: 1) received by Postfix; handed off to Amavisd-new 2) Amavisd-new checks to see whether or not it's spam/undesirable; hands off to Dovecot deliver 3) Dovecot deliver delivers the message to the local mailbox Under each of my user's mailbox is a submailbox called "spam". Just so I don't confuse terminologies (I'm no IMAP/maildir expert), for example, we have someone(a)domain.com. My configured mail_location is "maildir:/srv/mail/%d/%n", so this person's mailbox is located here: / srv/mail/domain.com/someone/ Within this directory is another mailbox: /srv/mail/domain.com/someone/.spam/ The plan is to have Dovecot deliver send a message (which has been labeled by Amavisd-new as spam) directly to the ".spam" submailbox, instead of the INBOX (/srv/mail/domain.com/someone/). With Dovecot 1.0.x, I used "plus addressing". Amavisd-new was configured so that, if a message was found to be spam, it delivered the message to Dovecot deliver, but changed the delivery address. Now, instead of "someone(a)domain.com ", it was "someone+spam(a)domain.com". Dovecot deliver took this message and delivered it correctly to the ".spam" submailbox (/srv/mail/ domain.com/someone/.spam/) Just to emphasize, this process does work (using Dovecot 1.0.x). With Dovecot 1.1.0, this process is broken. Now, spam messages are delivered to the INBOX instead, and, when checking the dovecot- deliver.log, I'm seeing "save failed to spam: Unknown namespace". As best as I can tell, the answer seems to lie in "namespaces" as a feature added in Dovecot 1.1.0. The problem is that I don't understand how I could use them to resolve this situation. I've read the documentation. I've looked at as many example configurations as I could find. Please help. I want to get this working again. I'm sure it's something very straight-forward, but I don't understand. How must I change my Dovecot 1.1.x configuration so that my "plus addressing" set up (detailed above) will work again? Or is there a better way? Thanks so much for your help, and thanks for a great product! - Jon

[Dovecot] mUTF-7 vs UTF-8 in mailbox names
by Timo Sirainen 05 Nov '08

05 Nov '08

(This is about v1.2 only, v1.1 will stay as it is.) Until today Dovecot didn't care about mailbox names. IMAP RFC requires them to be modified-UTF-7, but Dovecot didn't try to enforce it in any way. Mailbox names in Sieve scripts should be UTF-8, but currently Dovecot doesn't translate them to mUTF-7 as it should. Cyrus also did this until the latest release (v2.3.13). Now that I finally today wrote code to do mUTF-7 <-> UTF-8 conversion, Dovecot can finally do the right thing. But should there be an option to keep things backwards compatible? - IMAP: CREATE command requiring the mailbox name to be valid mUTF-7 is probably ok. Several other servers already verify that mailbox names are valid, so I doubt there are clients left anymore that don't send mUTF-7 names. - deliver -m assumes now that the mailbox name is UTF-8 and converts it to UTF-7. Should there be a -7 parameter that changes this behavior back? - Stephan's Dovecot Sieve also needs to be changed so that the mailbox name in fileinto commands can be UTF-8. If -7 parameter is added, it could control this behavior too. Also I'm wondering if in the future the mailbox names in filesystem should be converted to UTF-8. Probably not anytime soon though.. I also added imap_utf7 binary for doing mUTF-7 <-> UTF-8 conversion.

[Dovecot] Another dovecot-antispam plugin can't call dspam
by Rob Klingsten 05 Nov '08

05 Nov '08

Hi folks - I am configuring a new system and the antispam plugin is the last piece I need, everything else is working. Thanks to Johannes for this plugin, it's exactly what I want and an elegant solution for filter training. But I've been trying everything I can think of for the last 3 days to get this to work, no success.

[Dovecot] problem with i_stream_next_line()
by Giorgenes Gelatti 05 Nov '08

05 Nov '08

Hello there, I have a "subscriptions" file that is *not* ended with a line break (created by another system). When I do a "lsub "" "*"" the last mailbox name is not listed. Debugging a little showed that it looks like i_stream_next_line() is not returning the last line if it doesn't end with a line break. Is this a bug? btw, i'm using version 1.1.6. []'s

[Dovecot] MasterUser and old rev of Dovecot (0.99.14)
by Christopher Alexander 04 Nov '08

04 Nov '08

I need to migrate an old mail server running Dovecot (0.99.14) to a new server running Dovecot (1.0.7; as shipped with CentOS 5.2). My plan was to use the imapsync utility as this will "seamlessly" do the conversion from mbox to maildir between the boxes as well. I've got the MasterUser authentication working fine on the new host and was just about to start getting MasterUsers working on the old host. I noticed that the old .99 version dovecot.conf seems to have a mildly different syntax from 1.0 dovecot.conf. In particular a lot of the directives do not use braces and such. Is the .99 dovecot.conf file essentially able to deal with the same sort of syntax as outlined in the MasterUsers wiki page? [ http://wiki.dovecot.org/Authentication/MasterUsers ] I just wanted to bounce this off you guys before I started messing with a live system. ;) Thanks in advance. -- Christopher Alexander UNIX Network Administrator Broadband Network Technologies Branch (VPNT), Research Network Systems (MRNS) Communications Research Centre [ http://www.crc.ca ] Government of Canada [ http://www.gc.ca ]

It's not clear from your response that you understand why it's failing. It would seem clear that postfix doesn't see this as a local domain. Instead, it thinks you're trying to relay to somewhere else. Check your virtual_mailbox_domains file (or database) and make sure it has an entry for the new domain.

Does the log show that the incoming messages are actually received? If not, it sounds like you're missing an MX record in DNS.

[Dovecot] Issue with domains
by David M Lemcoe Jr. 02 Nov '08

I am running Dovecot 1.0.10 and have it working great on ender.ath.cx (my free DynDNS.com subdomain), but recently I registered lemcoe.com and pointed it to the same IP address as ender.ath.cx. The problem is, only e-mail sent to the @ender.ath.cx works. If it is send it to @lemcoe.com, I don't know where it goes. I get no errors either. How can I get Dovecot to recognize both domains? TIA.

[Dovecot] v1.2.alpha1 released
by Timo Sirainen 02 Nov '08

02 Nov '08

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/alpha/dovecot-1.2.alpha1.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/alpha/dovecot-1.2.alpha1.tar.gz.sig This is the only v1.2.alpha announcement I'm going to send to dovecot-news list. Next announcement will be for either v1.2.beta1 or v1.2.rc1. I'm hoping that v1.2 stabilizes pretty soon. There are no huge changes like there were in 0.99->1.0 or 1.0->1.1, so most of the bugs are probably related to new features. I'm already running v1.2 myself and it's gone through heavy stress testing with my imaptest tool, so I'm expecting it to be stable enough for real world testing with not-all-that-important servers. It's safe to jump between v1.1 and v1.2 at any time or even have them concurrently accessing the same mailboxes. Dovecot v1.2 has a lot of new IMAP extensions implemented. The biggest change comes from CONDSTORE extension which adds a new concept of "modification sequences" (modseq for short). Each message has a modseq that increases whenever a flag is changed or when the message is expunged. The client can keep track of the highest seen modseq and request only changes done since the modseq. See QRESYNC (RFC 5162) for more information. Dovecot starts keeping track of the modseqs only when the first "CONDSTORE/QRESYNC enabling command" is executed. Before that no disk space is used for modseqs. When modseqs are enabled dovecot.index file uses 8 bytes per message more space. Other implemented IMAP extensions are: ESEARCH, SEARCHRES, WITHIN, ID and CONTEXT=SEARCH. Added thread indexes to optimize IMAP THREAD command. Only the first half of threading is currently optimized, the rest will hopefully follow later. Added a non-standard X-REFERENCES2 threading algorithm where threads are sorted by their latest message instead of the thread root message. There is also no base subject merging. This may be renamed and become part of SEARCH=INTHREAD extension some day. SEARCH=INTHREAD is still a draft, but the INTHREAD search key is already implemented by Dovecot v1.2. This is mostly useful with virtual mailboxes. Virtual mailboxes: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Virtual Then there are also some internal API changes which will make some things easier. For example lib-storage now allows handling multiple different users at the same time.
