[Dovecot] Converting from MBOX to Maildir broke procmail and Spamassasin and halted incoming mail
by Dan Roberts 29 Sep '08

29 Sep '08

I could use some help here - As I use Dovecot I started here when trying to figure out why I could not add new mail folders under my Mac's Mail program, but could under Thunderbird. It was quickly pointed out that my system was set up to use MBOX and not MAILDIR, and some helpful links and notes were sent back and forth giving me a good clue as to how to perform the conversion process. I did have success in getting my mail accounts converted from mbox to maildir, but then ran aground. I could see all of my existing mail and create new folders, but I could not see any of my incoming mail. What I was late in realizing was that I needed to also adjust the settings for my LDA, which as I am using sendmail is procmail, and it was suggested that I needed to adjust /etc/procmail to include the line DEFAULT=$HOME/Maildir/ I did that, but new mail still didn't show up correctly. I can only assume that I have something still not properly adjusted in my procmail settings. Given that I got everything else to work, and even successfully upgraded dovecot, it was very frustrating to set everything back to square one with mbox so that I had a functioning system once again. I am about to have some time on my hands and am going to try again - but this time I thought I would ask for help before I possibly loose my ability to receive new mail - makes reading those suggestions very hard. At present, my etc/procmailrc file is like this. ----------- [dan@trailrunner etc]$ cat procmailrc # send mail through SpamAssassin :0 fw * < 256000 | /usr/bin/spamc -f ----------- In each users Home directory I have a .procmailrc file that further directs things on a user level. For my directory this file is currently --------------- [dan@trailrunner ~]$ cat .procmailrc MAILDIR=$HOME/mail PROBABLYJUNK = /home/dan/mail/probably-spam :O H * ^X-Spam-Status:.*Yes { EXITCODE=67 :0: probably-spam } --------------- I admit that I set up Spamassasin some years ago and though I have updated things now and then, I don't recall all of the reasoning behind the setup - just know that it has been working. Whether I put the new line "DEFAULT=$HOME/Maildir/" in one file, the other or both - I got no incoming mail. My guess was that I had offended promail in one way or another. So, as I prepare to do the MBOX to MAILDIR conversion once again, does anyone have any guidance to offer for how to properly adjust the procmail files so that I can continue to filter spam? Much appreciated. Cheers - dan

[Dovecot] Use bacula to do backups/restores
by martijn＠youngguns.nl 29 Sep '08

29 Sep '08

Hi, I'm already using Bacula for a lot of backups jobs and I also want do backup mail which is stored on a server. The mail is stored in Maildirs which a could backup at filesystem level. But when I restore such a backup strange things happen. My mail client show some mail double and most of the restored mails are unread. I think I'm missing some important IMAP things. Martijn

[Dovecot] fs quota and sieve script - other place for compiled script
by Steffen Kaiser 29 Sep '08

29 Sep '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, lately I deployed a Sieve script for all accounts, even those already overquota. I use fs quota, which leaded to the problem that that the compiled script could not spooled into the home directory - because of the "Over quota" condition. Although Sieve is not directly related to the mail storage, it would be a good thing to have the compiled scripts somewhere in the INDEX= tree or some other non-quota partition. - - I hope that nobody is being able to upload a GB-Sieve script to try to fill the non-quota partition ;-) Bye, - -- Steffen Kaiser -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFI4ImUVJMDrex4hCIRAgw8AJsEPEGIZRd92Y131f5lyBGLwxavvgCgqJ7P MhBmasR6RBgFViuwWAVsiTE= =QuIC -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

I'm using Fedora 9 I downloaded dovecot-1.1.3.tar.gz and extracted it. I then opened a terminal in the extracted window.

[Dovecot] Mailing list / dovecot.org down this weekend
by Timo Sirainen 27 Sep '08

27 Sep '08

Apparently the building where dovecot.org server is located will lose its electricity for something like 9-26 hours this weekend. During this time the mailing list will be down, but the web, hg and wiki will be available in another server. (Well, the wiki depends on if I can get moinmoin fixed on the server.)

[Dovecot] dovecot imap auth fails to reconnect pgsql backend
by Frank Wang 27 Sep '08

27 Sep '08

Hi, We've observed frequent auth failure recently from the SquirrelMail frontend. The imap server is the dovecot-1.0.7-2 from Centos 5.2. The auth backend is a pgsql database on another server. The only way to make it work is to restart the dovecot, though sometimes it'll recover automatically, but you don't know when. At first we thought there might be a network problem, but we can always run pgsql client from the dovecot server to connect and query the backend database during the auth failure. We then upgraded to dovecot-1.1.3 from atrpms.net yesterday, and still the same. It looks like the dovecot fails to reconnect/retry pgsql backend.

[Dovecot] problems with auth protocol

27 Sep '08

Hello there, I have a client connecting to dovecot and comunicating like this: * OK Dovecot ready. * AUTHENTICATE MYAUTH + base64 challange base64_response {NNN} * NO Invalid base64 data in continued response The problem is that dovecot seems to reject the response because of the {NNN} in the end of the string. If I remove the {NNN} it authenticates just fine. Any idea of whether it's standard or not? Thanks you.

[Dovecot] Exim+dovecot and quota check in exim's ACL before real message routing.
by Anton 26 Sep '08

26 Sep '08

Good day. I want to migrate from cyrus-imap to dovecot but I can not find replacement of one feauture presented in the cyrus-imap. It is LMTP. All mail users are virtual and mail works like: username(a)real-domain.com -> anotherusername(a)fake-domain.local. I whould like to check "delivery is possable" in the exim's ACL. In the exim+cirus scheme I use Callout verification from exim to cyrus and if user's quota is exeeded callout returns fail and exim does not take message for queueing. Dovecot has no LMTP and I see no possability to do such callouts. I tried to turn on quotas in the dovecot. Message was taken by the exim placed into exim's queue but cannot be delivered to dovecot with "local_delivery transport output: Quota exceeded" and message stays in queue for a long time. Is any possability to chech quota usage in the exim's ACL befor taking message body ? -- Anton [WARM-RIPE] Stack ltd division head tel. 8 (3822) 555-797

[Dovecot] Problem when just .dovecot.sieve symlinks changes

26 Sep '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, well, I'm sort of sure that this was raised in the past, but I do not find the patch / answer of it: I'm running dovecot v1.0.15 from hg (5567:568687e4df02) with managesieve patch v9.2 (there is one change between this and v9.3 except in regards of AUTH so this should not matter.) and dovecot-sieve v1.0.3. When an user issues just "SETACTIVE" in order to activate an _old_ script, deliver does not rebuilt the compiled file. If I peeked the correct code, CMU sieve just stat()s both .dovecot.sieve and .dovecot.sievec, but misses the fact that the symlink's .dovecot.sieve, which is used by the managesieve patch, time is newer. Actually I dimmly remember that the issue was solved somehow, but I did not found how when searching the archives. Shall deliver lstat(.dovecot.sieve) or shall managesieve delete the cache file?

[Dovecot] Dovecot LDA and quota
by Jonas Christian 25 Sep '08

25 Sep '08

Hi List, I recently upgraded to Dovecot 1.1.3 on FreeBSD and got into trouble over the quotas. We implemented per-user quotas using plugin { quota = maildir } and protocol lda { mail_plugins = quota } We use a passwd-file userdb with extra fields, which used to be quota=maildir:storage:<bytes> which I changed to quota_rule=*:bytes:<bytes> What happens now is that deliver (the Dovecot LDA) only picks up the quotas set in the maildirsize file in the user's homedir. It doesn't pick up the quota set in the userdb. Also, when I delete the maildirsize file, I doesn't get recreated by the LDA and quotas don't get checked at all. Any ideas? I'd be very grateful for any pointers. Cheers, Jonas

[Dovecot] Using deliver with postfix
by Rich Winkel 25 Sep '08

25 Sep '08

Hi, I'm trying to set up dovecot 1.1.2 and postfix 2.5.4 on freebsd 7.0. I'm getting permissions problems on auth-master and I'm not sure of the correct settings to use. In postfix's main.cf I have mailbox_command=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d $USER In dovecot.conf I have: socket listen { master { path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode = 0660 user = dovecot group = postfix } ... # ls -l /var/run/dovecot/auth-master srw-rw---- 1 dovecot postfix 0 Sep 18 18:26 /var/run/dovecot/auth-master= In maillog I'm getting: deliver(sumbuddy): Can't connect to auth server at /var/run/dovecot//auth-master: Permission denied (I'm not sure where it's getting the "//" in the path either ...) Also I'm confused about whether I need the postfix options: maildrop_destination_recipient_limit=1 dovecot_destination_concurrency_limit=1 or even whether these are current options in my version of postfix (they don't appear in main.cf.default) Does deliver require such limits on concurrency or # of recipients? Thanks!! Rich

I'd suggest trying first with another client to see if it's not an issue with Thunderbird, which in my opinion is not very good at handling attachments in imap.

[Dovecot] [Dovecot 1.1.3] Strange problem with attachment download
by Thomas Gropp 24 Sep '08

Hello everyone, I am testing Dovecot 1.1.3 at the moment to see if I can migrate from UW-Imap(mbox) to Dovecot(maildir). Because I dont' want to influence the production server I installed Dovecot on an ununsed computer with some dummy-testusers using ssl and maildir. Installation was without any problems and everything works fine with one exception: I cannot download some attachments. If the attachment is a simple textfile or bitmap it's ok, but everything else (pdf, zip, etc. - size doesn't matter) does not work. Here is what happens: 1) I right-click on the attached file -> "save as" (using Thunderbird 2) 2) I choose a target dir (no matter if local disk or nfs) 3) the download-dialog pops up and says: "starting...." 4) nothing happens form then on In the log file I see (lots of them for a single "attachment-download-try" until I stop Thunderbird): "dovecot: Fatal: IMAP(<username>): io_loop_handle_add: epoll_ctl(1, 1): File exists" (which file??) I googled this message but without success. I already tried having all files on the local fs instead of nfs but it doesn't change anything. I also tried a lot of different settings (concerning locking, nfs, permissions) in the dovecot.conf. Everything else works just fine: logging in, receiving, creating folders, deleting etc...) Im using a (very) old SuSE 9.0 installation with ext2. I put my (current) devecot.conf and the output of "dovecot -n" at the end. As I have no idea what else to try/check: Anyone out there who has a tip what else I could check to solve this? Or even someone who had the same problem with a solution? ;o) Thx Thomas my current dovecot.conf: ************************************************************* protocols = imaps protocol imap { listen = *:143 # not active ssl_listen = *:446 # for testing } listen = * disable_plaintext_auth = yes ssl_disable = no ssl_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/imapd.pem ssl_key_file = /etc/ssl/certs/imapd.pem verbose_ssl = yes login_greeting = Dovecot ready. mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir mmap_disable = yes fsync_disable = no mail_nfs_index = yes lock_method = dotlock maildir_copy_with_hardlinks = yes mbox_read_locks = dotlock_try mbox_write_locks = dotlock_try mbox_dotlock_change_timeout = 120 protocol imap { } protocol pop3 { } protocol lda { postmaster_address = postmaster(a)example.com } auth_debug = yes auth default { mechanisms = plain passdb shadow { } userdb passwd { } user = root } dict { } plugin { } ************************************************************* Output of dovecot -n ************************************************************* # 1.1.3: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf protocols: imaps ssl_listen: *:446 ssl_cert_file: /etc/ssl/certs/imapd.pem ssl_key_file: /etc/ssl/certs/imapd.pem verbose_ssl: yes login_dir: /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir mail_debug: yes mmap_disable: yes mail_nfs_index: yes lock_method: dotlock mbox_read_locks: dotlock_try mbox_write_locks: dotlock_try auth default: debug: yes passdb: driver: shadow userdb: driver: passwd ***************************************************************+

Hi all, Trying to setup Postfix / Dovecot / Fetchmail to collect all my mail centrally on my home server and serve it out by IMAP. Everything is working, using Maildir format except I can't move mail from a sub-folder to my Inbox. Example: I send a test message to myself. It gets picked up by fetchmail, and delivered to /home/user/Maildir/new by postfix. Dovecot serves that out to my client. I can then move that message from the Inbox to a subfolder, but then I can't move it back to the Inbox. I don't get any error messages or anything - it just doesn't happen :( Any help and advice would be great. root ~ # dovecot -n # 1.1.3: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf listen: 192.168.31.3 disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /usr/var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_greeting: Dovecot server.local READY login_max_processes_count: 8 mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd root ~ # dovecot --version 1.1.3 Cheers, ~p

[Dovecot] One fs with quota, one without: incorrect data shown
by Laurent Blume 24 Sep '08

24 Sep '08

Hello all, I'm using Dovecot 1.0.15 on a Solaris 10. There are two different FS in place for IMAP: /var/mail for inbox /export/home for the mail folders The first doesn't have quota, the second does. However, I've noticed that Thunderbird does display quota information on the inbox (that doesn't make any sense, the values are incorrect). The same incorrect values are shown for folders as well. I tried the following configurations, but without success, the result is always the same: quota = fs ---- quota = fs:INBOX:mount=/var/mail quota2 = fs:Others:mount=/export/home ---- quota = fs:Others:mount=/export/home Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

[Dovecot] Debugging password schemes
by Ian R. Justman 23 Sep '08

23 Sep '08

Hi, all. I managed to get my new password scheme routine written, but a couple of things: 1. The example module lacks an init routine. Since I used it as a model, my module also lacks one. As such, my newly-built module is seen but not registered. In the meantime, I moved the routines into password-scheme.c instead where I had access to all the MD5 routines already set up for me. 2. Once in password-scheme.c and modified to the point where it builds without warnings or errors and it doesn't gag on itself, it doesn't seem to work properly. What's the best way to debug password-scheme.c so I can see what's going on so I can fix things accordingly? I have to "manually" break apart the value stored in a database a bit differently than other salted values (it's using salted MD5 values a bit differently than normal). The password format from a Post.Office server, but apparently, Netscape Messaging Server uses this same format. Thanks! --Ian. -- Ian R. Justman UNIX hacker. Anime fan.

[Dovecot] Small deliver bug
by Robin Breathe 22 Sep '08

22 Sep '08

Setting "mail_location=maildir:~/Maildir:INDEX=~/index:CONTROL=~/control" (or separating INDEX and CONTROL in general) along with "quota=maildir" (and or having a ~/.dovecot.sieve) appears to expose a small bug in deliver (version 1.1.3, but probably all). While deliver will create a missing INDEX directory, it throws an error if the CONTROL directory is missing, exiting with exit code 75 and the following message: Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. [2008-09-11 12:30:13] The associated syslog error is: Sep 11 12:30:13 csmail2 deliver(88345678): [ID 994296 mail.error] file_dotlock_open(/users4/stu/78/88345678/control/maildirsize) failed: No such file or directory Sep 11 12:30:13 csmail2 deliver(88345678): [ID 702911 mail.error] Internal quota calculation error Sep 11 12:30:13 csmail2 deliver(88345678): [ID 702911 mail.info] msgid=<43435ee38b616bb360e98d1990ad8f6d(a)example.com>: save failed to INBOX: Internal error occurred.

[Dovecot] %d is empty
by rihad 22 Sep '08

Hi, I'm a Dovecot newb playing with version 1.1.3 port under FreeBSD. After setting up dovecot-sql.conf for MySQL I can't check mail via POP3: ... password_query = \ SELECT CONCAT(username, '@', d.name) AS user, password \ FROM users u JOIN domains d ON u.domain_id=d.id \ WHERE username='%n' AND d.name='%d' AND active (with or without \ line breaks - same thing) rihad@rihad:~$ telnet nigar pop3 Trying 192.168.0.248... Connected to nigar.localnet. Escape character is '^]'. +OK Dovecot ready. user rihad(a)bar.com +OK pass 123456 -ERR Authentication failed. quit +OK Logging out Connection closed by foreign host. MySQL query log shows: 080919 21:19:51 4 Query SELECT CONCAT(username, '@', d.name) AS user, password FROM users u JOIN domains d ON u.domain_id=d.id WHERE username='rihad' AND d.name='' AND active Further investigation revealed that %u is just rihad and not rihad(a)bar.com. Any hints? TIA.
