[Dovecot] Unkown namespace / sieve
by ML 13 Oct '08

13 Oct '08

Hello, I use dovecot + dspam and a very simple global sieve script : require "fileinto"; if header :contains "X-DSPAM-Result" "Spam" { fileinto "SPAM"; stop; } with dovecot 1.0 all run fine, but moving to 1.1 I experience this in maillog : Oct 13 10:31:52 h8h1 deliver(ml(a)sd2i.com): msgid=<8a24c15885037554724ff966f5458592(a)newsletter.RedSquare.com.au >: save failed to SPAM: Unknown namespace Oct 13 10:31:52 h8h1 deliver(ml(a)sd2i.com): sieve runtime error: Fileinto: Generic Error Oct 13 10:31:52 h8h1 deliver(ml(a)sd2i.com): sieve_execute_bytecode(/usr/ local/mail/.dovecot.sievec) failed Oct 13 10:31:53 h8h1 deliver(ml(a)sd2i.com): msgid=<8a24c15885037554724ff966f5458592(a)newsletter.RedSquare.com.au >: saved mail to INBOX Ay idea ? another question : I use virtual users only, they all have a quota_rule from mysql with different quota size, but I put a quota_rule2 globally to ignore Trash since the ignore= doesn't work anymore with 1.1, is that valid or do I need to add the quota_rule2 to mysql results too ?

[Dovecot] client certs with godaddy ssl cert
by Harondel J. Sibble 13 Oct '08

13 Oct '08

I've read the client ssl cert section in the wiki and it talks about using a self signed cert, if I am using a commercial cert, in this case godaddy, how do I implement a self signed cert for the client side and have dovecot make use of this? I know the mechanics of setting up the self signed ca, the question is more what configuration changes do I need to make in dovecot to handle both godaddy and the self signed ca functionality?

[Dovecot] Can I translate the userid to match the UW-POP3 server?
by Albert E. Whale 12 Oct '08

12 Oct '08

OK, I have been running the UW-POP3 server which currently translates all login ids as lowercase (i.e. Anthony becomes anthony). Now the Dovecot server is very flexible and currently I have not found how to translate the upper case characters to lowercase. What configuration setting will translate the userids to lowercase? -- Albert E.

[Dovecot] Different authentication for pop3 and imap
by sh1ny 12 Oct '08

12 Oct '08

Is it possible to run different authentications for pop3 and imap ? What i need is to give access to some clients to pop3 only and to other to imap only. I'm using postgres as a backend. What i actually need is 2 separate queries for userdb, one to select with "WHERE imap_access = 1" and the other one with "WHERE pop3_access = 1" ( that's just an example ). I'm using 1.1.2 but i plan on upgrading to either 1.1.4 or 1.2.

[Dovecot] Password scheme module thoughts?
by Ian R. Justman 11 Oct '08

11 Oct '08

Hi, all. I have successfully deployed the code I wrote to handle Post.Office password hashes. However, I had to implement it as a hack to password-scheme.c. I'd like to implement it as a module so I don't have to hack Dovecot whenever a new release comes out. However, I had a few thoughts: 1. I used Dovecot's own MD5 routines in my implementation because I know how they behave. However, would it make sense to distribute the C sources for the MD5 routines, or would it make far more sense to have a Dovecot build tree already (so I can use Dovecot's function library)? 2. Is there good documentation for Dovecot's plugin API? I need it so I can figure out how to write the parts which the main program call so then the code can be used as a plugin. Thanks! --Ian. -- Ian R. Justman UNIX hacker. Anime fan. Any questions? ianj (at) ian-justman.com

[Dovecot] sieve multi-line parser bug
by info 10 Oct '08

10 Oct '08

Dear sirs Thank you and congratulations for creating Dovecot. When a message header is split along several lines, it seems only the first one is parsed by sieve. The following header: From: "=?iso-8859-1?Q?Cotiatododia=20-=20O=20Jornal=20de=20Not=EDcias=20a=20Se?= =?iso-8859-1?Q?rvi=E7o=20de=20Cotia=20e=20Regi=E3o=2E?=" <newsletter(a)cotiatododia.com.br> was not discarded by the following rule (when it should have been due to "cotiatododia"): if anyof (header :contains ["From", "Reply-To", "To", "Cc"] ["cotiatododia", "ganhedinheiro.com", "1000deaths.com", "ione.correia", "nsbezerra", "estudenoexterior.com", "pestana(a)mauriciopestana.com.br", "institutojairmoura2(a)gmail.com", "webmaster(a)ie.org.br", "jahgor(a)jahgor.com.br", "marketing(a)mirostur.com.br"], header :contains "Subject" "E ai!, Essa voce Tem que Ver!") { discard; } Thank you, Dennis

[Dovecot] Switching Servers now can't retrieve mail
by lists＠kesh.com 10 Oct '08

10 Oct '08

I have just switched my mail server. I have copied (I think) the config files from the old to new. Exim is work fine on the new machine as I can see email file showing up in /var/mail/lists/new . However, dovecot reports nothing when I check mail . I am have turn on logging on both machines and I do not see anything that looks like an error. I have also looked to see if the dovecot.conf file is compatible between 1.0.14 and 1.1.2 and have found little. I am guessing this is a simple problem, can someone tell me what I have done wrong here. I have provided Working dovecot -n from both machines and the log output from a mail fetch.

[Dovecot] Cyrus MailDir to Dovecot mbox
by CJ Keist 10 Oct '08

10 Oct '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Anyone out there know of a tool that can convert a Cyrus MailDir format to Dovecot mbox? I have a user that I need to move over from a mail server running cyrus using MailDir format. At first I told him to setup second account with Thunderbird to our mail server and then use Thunderbird to move the messages over. But he has over 100K messages so not as easy to do. Is there a tool out there for doing this sort of conversion? I tried to simply cat all the messages into a single file, but just got a "Not valid mbox format" when I tried to read the mail folder. - -- C. J.

[Dovecot] Test environment question
by Stewart Dean 09 Oct '08

09 Oct '08

My production DC machine owns the mail filesystems and is running DC V1.0.15 and mbox folder format. I am looking to test V1.1.3 on another machine, which NFS mounts the mail filesystems, but has its own local index FS. I have made this test environment my default connection in TBird, and it seems to work just fine. Also, I have made sure that my TBird client isn't connecting to the production server (it has multiple accounts but I have turned off the cehck for mail when starting and check for new mail every N minutes functions, and then check the ps table to make sure there are no imap connections) However, I'm seeing two errmsgs in the maillog on the test machine: > Sep 22 11:54:13 egg mail:err|error dovecot: IMAP(sdean): posix_fallocate() faile > d: Protocol not available > Sep 22 11:54:13 egg mail:err|error dovecot: IMAP(sdean): file_set_size() failed > with mbox file /var/spool/mail/sdean: Protocol not available which appear to happen AFTER mail arrives at the production server....it seems to happen on my test server the next time my client goes to access mail AFTER mail has arrived at the production server. Subsequent client requests of the test server execute without error until AFTER the next time mail arrives at and my inbox is updated with it. Again, if I hadn't looked at the logs, I wouldn't know there was a problem...I can see my new mail just fine from the test server. The questions: Is this anything I should be concerned about? Is this a bug or a legit problem coming from my improper use of two servers against the same data. FWIW, I am using fcntl for both mbox read and write locks. procmail in the MDA on the production server, and its locking hierarchy <dotlock,fcntl>, which Timo previously approved. Thanks!

[Dovecot] shared mailboxes in 1.2 question
by Robert Schetterer 09 Oct '08

09 Oct '08

Hi Timo, i tried a littel bit playing with shared mailboxes namespace shared { separator = / # %%u gets expanded to the remote user. Instead of %%u you can # also use %%n and %%d. prefix = "shared/" location = maildir:/usr/local/virtual/%d:CONTROL=/usr/local/virtual/%d:INDEX=/usr/local/virtual/%d inbox = no list = yes subscriptions = yes hidden = no } should at last show all other users mailboxes when .DEFAULT acl is authenticated lr and dovecot-acl in /usr/local/virtual/%d is authenticated lr too but instead only shared is shown in thunderbird playing with %%u etc in combinations does not lead to working results too (sometimes shared^^ was shown, might be user(a)domain.de isnt working for shared maildirs, @ could be a problem to maildir....?) your example was namespace shared { separator = / # %%u gets expanded to the remote user. Instead of %%u you can # also use %%n and %%d. prefix = shared/%%u/ location = Maildir:/home/%%u/Maildir:INDEX=~/Maildir/shared/%%u } so something with acl might not working in 1.2 and i think i need more explanation ( examples ...) in using %%u %%d ... to test shared mailboxes there were no usefull log entries which would give some more advice during testing...so it might be my fault and it only config stuff i didnt understand -- Best Regards MfG Robert Schetterer Germany/Munich/Bavaria

[Dovecot] Maildir size report for imap?
by Mark Zealey 09 Oct '08

09 Oct '08

Hi guys, It would be really nice if there were an easy way to see how much space an individual imap account used when a user logged out; something like pop3_logout_format = size=%s. I appreciate that this isn't so easy in imap though - I was thinking of using the quota plugin with no limit or something like that.

[Dovecot] 1.1.4 and trouble over NFS
by Igor Colombi 09 Oct '08

09 Oct '08

Hello, I have some trouble with the current setup (it's a testing environment): 2 server with Dovecot 1.1.4 from source (OS Debian testing 2.6.26) (name: "exim" and "exim2") 1 NFS server (OS Debian testing 2.6.26) I use NFS v.4, indexes shared over NFS. The relavant part of Dovecot configuration: dotlock_use_excl = yes mail_nfs_storage = yes mail_nfs_index = yes mmap_disable = yes lock_method = dotlock Maildir format. /etc/exports on NFS server: /mnt 192.168.0.0/24(rw,sync,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,fsid=0) /mnt/vexim 192.168.0.0/24(rw,sync,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check) /etc/fstab on the clients: 192.168.0.71:/vexim /mnt/nfs1 nfs4 rw 0 0 When I access a mailbox with 2 different clients (for example Outlook Express that uses "exim" and Thunderbird that uses "exim2") and in the same time some message is delivered to the mailbox (the

safe. I can try to move indexes on the local disk, the trouble with dovecot.index disappear but I have again problem with dovecot-uidlist. I can reproduce this kind of problem easly: 2 clients on the same mailbox connected to two different imap server and a simple bash script that send 2 email every 1 second to the mailbox. There is some option/configuration that I can try to change?

[Dovecot] zlib plugin
by Luuk 09 Oct '08

09 Oct '08

hi, Could anyone give some info on this plugin? When i read the wiki (http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Zlib) i'm still left with some questions... I use Maildir to store my mails, if i enable this zlib-plugin, should i 'manually' compress all messages? or wil the uncompressed messages still be accessible by dovecot? wil new messages be compressed automagically? how should the compressed messages be named? a message now has the name '1223224520.2783_1.opensuse:2,S' how would a compressed message be named? ['1223224520.2783_1.opensuse:2,SZ' or '1223224520.2783_1.opensuse:2,S,Z' or ???] Last but not least, what gain will i have by using this plugin in combination with Maildir, or will it have more impact when mails are stored in mbox. -- Luuk $ dovecot --version dovecot version 1.1.1 $ uname -srpmio Linux 2.6.18.8-0.10-default x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

So now "Disable non webmail IMAP access" in vpopmail works fine!

[Dovecot] Folders within folders?
by ed beers 09 Oct '08

09 Oct '08

I'm trying to migrate my emails from an existing server (University of Washington IMAP toolkit) to dovecot. My clients are all using Thunderbird. I'm moving to a new Ubuntu based server (old one was Centos4) and selected dovecot solely because it was the default option. I'm not committed to it if it isn't the right tool for my application. My existing server allows hierarchical folders and these are used to organize 20 years worth of carefully sorted emails. I can create a new folders on the dovecot server but Thunderbird doesn't allow me to create new sub-folders within them. I think T-bird is configured OK since this works on the old server. Is this a dovecot limitation or have I configured it incorrectly?

[Dovecot] postfix/dovecot/mysql quotas not working, default dovecot.conf does.
by dovecot＠corwyn.net 08 Oct '08

08 Oct '08

I'm having problems getting dovecot to set imap quotas that are defined as individual quotas for virtual users using mysql. I'm using postfix/dovecot 1.1.3, just built from source about a week ago. I've been testing using telnet and getquotaroot. when I define the quota in dovecot.conf quota = dirsize quota_rule = *:storage=102400 I get the following response from Dovecot: # telnet 127.0.0.1 143 Connected to 127.0.0.1. * OK Dovecot ready. . login test222(a)example.com password . OK Logged in. . getquotaroot inbox * QUOTAROOT "inbox" "" * QUOTA "" (STORAGE 276273 102400) All is good (the mailbox IS currently very full as part of my testing). However, when I define that data in the dovecot-sql.conf file, it doesn't appear to pick the data up, either as an override, or, if I delete quota_rule = *:storage=102400 from dovecot.conf, I get no quota at all . getquotaroot inbox . OK No quota. # grep -v '^ *$#.*$\?$' dovecot-sql.conf driver = mysql connect = host=localhost dbname=postfix user=postfix password=password default_pass_scheme = MD5-CRYPT password_query = \ SELECT username, domain, password \ FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND domain = '%d' AND active = '1' user_query = \ SELECT 1015 as uid, 105 as gid, '/var/spool/mail/%d/%n' as home, \ 'maildir:/var/spool/mail/%d/%n/Maildir' as mail, \ 'dirsize' as quota, \ concat('*:storage=', quota, 'B') as quota_rule, \ FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND domain = '%d' and active = '1' the results remain the same in telnet. Any assistance would be appreciated. I've done a fair amount of digging, and have no idea why it's not working. ASsociated other configuration below. Thanks!

[Dovecot] Dovecot-sieve processing optimizations
by Roderick A. Anderson 08 Oct '08

08 Oct '08

I'm working at the next part of the virtual domains mail server. I'm moving this account (raanders(a)acm.org is a forwarder) which has a bunch of procmail rules to file into folders. My question is if it is more efficient is use? if { ... } elsif { ... } elsif { ... } else This seems to be the way many of the example scripts do it but I found at least one that used if { ... } if { ... } Which is more procmail like and for me reads easier. If not here where should I ask? Thanks, Rod --

Yes, that's what I was thinking when I wrote "workaround" in my first mail: On Wed, Oct 8, 2008 at 5:08 PM, Diego Liziero <diegoliz(a)gmail.com> wrote: >[..] >I think that this solution is more readable than the only workaround I >can imagine now (that is disabling global filtering and enabling it in >a pcre table for everything except that particular case). So it's a bit less readable, I've to remember to disable sender restrictions in the content filter return transport to avoid filter loops, there will be one more line for each mail in the log stating that the filter is triggered, but apart from that it should work as I need. Thank you to everyone that helped me, tomorrow I'm going to test both methods. Regards, Diego.
