[Dovecot] Compiling with SQL support
by Mark Smith 06 Dec '07

06 Dec '07

Hello all, I am currently having a slight problem (ok well more likely me just not doing it right), with compiling Dovecot with MySQL support. The version is 1.0.8. I have tried running configure with --with-sql and --with-sql-drivers, but this however still does not compile MySQL support, I do no wish to install MySQL on this server, as I am using a network SQL server, but I do have the compiled source available on this server. I have tried running: gcc -shared -fPIC -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DBUILD_MYSQL \ -I../.. -I../lib -I../lib-settings -I/data/mysql/include/mysql \ driver-mysql.c -o driver_mysql.so -lmysqlclient inside the /src/lib-sql, but this just returns an error that mysqlclient cannot be found. I have tried running dovecot --build-options, but MySQL is not listed here, the operating system is FreeBSD 6.2. The documentation does not seem to be giving any hints as to why this is not working, nor do How Tos. Any help would be appreciated. Mark Smith

I'm preparing myself for migration to dovecot 1.0.rc15 (debian stable) and would like to create indexes before users start to login into new server to ease the load. My other option is to write a script which will log as each user and create indexes, however this seems a bit of painful way to do it.

[Dovecot] Dovecot + SASL + allow_nets
by Marc Cuypers 05 Dec '07

05 Dec '07

Hi, When using dovecot for authentication of an SASL (postfix) request, i cannot use the allow_nets parameter. The IP-address of the requester is not known in dovecot. I would like to allow sasl for certain users, others are not allowed to access via SASL. Some users can have access to imap and pop3 from certain IP-addresses. How could i combine this in then dovecot configuration? -- Best regards, Marc

Looks ok, but I hate to add new settings to dovecot.conf nowadays since there are already too many. Also then there would be two Kerberos-related settings that simply set environment variables. I'm beginning to think that maybe something more generic is needed, such as: auth default { .. environment { krb5_ktname = .. krb5ccname = ... who_knows_what_else_in_future = .. } } I think LDAP library also can accept settings from environment. Anyone on mailing list have better ideas?

[Dovecot] LIST problem with Dovecot1.1beta10
by Dean Brooks 04 Dec '07

04 Dec '07

Hi, Certain IMAP folder problems started popping up with Squirrelmail with the 1.1beta10 version of Dovecot (and possibly earlier versions). Looked into it and I am seeing odd behavior with the LIST command. Here is how to reproduce problem, unless I'm missing something obvious: a001 login dean <password> a001 OK Logged in. a002 list "" * * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "/" "Sent" * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "/" "Trash" * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "/" "Drafts" * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "/" "INBOX" a002 OK List completed. a003 list "" Trash* * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "/" "Trash" a003 OK List completed. a004 list "" Trash a004 OK List completed. <*** What? Shouldn't it have listed Trash instead of returning nothing?> a005 list "" Trash" <*** Unbalanced quote causes total lockup! It appears that Squirrelmail, and possibly others, are using the LIST command to test for the presence of a mailbox, but it seems impossible to get an exact match. Am I missing something here? -- Dean Brooks dean(a)iglou.com

[Dovecot] procmail/formail --> Maildir
by Andre Huebner 03 Dec '07

03 Dec '07

Hello List, i switched mailformat from mbox to maildir. Now i have a little problem with procmail/formail and headermanipulation of mails. Here an example: 0 * ^From.*gmx.de | (formail -t -I"procmail: gmx.de") >> /var/spool/mail/xxxxxx So, i can add some different headerlines for later evaluation and the result is attached to inbox. Now i have the problem that i don't know name of targetfile, cause it is unique for every mail if maildir is used. I did not found a Option or other workaround to solve this case. I know, it is not a dovecot problem but i hope somebody can give a hint. Could it be a possibility to leave all unchanged? Mails could be transported to /var/spool/mail/xxxxxx and picked up by dovecot if in dovecot.conf the convert-plugin ist always activated? Thanks Andre

[Dovecot] v1.1.beta10 released
by Timo Sirainen 03 Dec '07

03 Dec '07

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/beta/dovecot-1.1.beta10.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/beta/dovecot-1.1.beta10.tar.gz.sig Changes since beta9: - dotlock_use_excl=yes is now the default. I think this should work in all NFS setups that are in use nowadays. O_EXCL has worked since NFSv3. - fs quota: Added "noenforcing" option - Fixed compiling with non-gcc - Fixed quota plugin crash - Lots of fixes to handling message searches, especially related to non-ASCII searches. And most importantly: It includes the new Squat full text search indexing code. There are a few things left in my TODO for it: - It's currently used only to optimize root level AND searches. So for example SEARCH (OR TEXT hello TEXT world) is still searched the slow way. - Expunged messages are never removed from the indexes. - The index could be updated while messages are being saved, but this isn't done yet. - Indexed substring length is hardcoded to 4 characters. This should be configurable, although I think 4 should work quite nicely. Lucene plugin is probably completely broken now, but it was also in beta9.

[Dovecot] dovecot process nice value
by Daniel Watts 03 Dec '07

03 Dec '07

My imap processes seem to all be running with a nice value of -15 (top priority). Is this usual? Not sure if this is a dovecot setting or something going on with my own system configuration somewhere. I know the userdb query can set the nice value but mine (a mysql query) does not... We're having problems with our mail partition being absolutely thrashed and thought over-strong imap processes might be a factor. Many thanks, Daniel

[Dovecot] 1.0.8 install trouble on Ubuntu dapper (PAM)
by John Gateley 02 Dec '07

02 Dec '07

Hi, I was running the Ubuntu dovecot package until now, and decided to upgrade because of an issue with Thunderbird. I downloaded and compiled 1.0.8, and it's not starting up. The error I'm getting is: Dec 2 15:35:04 jfootoo dovecot: auth(default): Unknown passdb driver 'pam' (typo, or Dovecot was built without support for it? Check with dovecot --build-options) D I used "./configure" and "./configure --with-pam", both give the same error message. dovecot --build-options gives: uild options: ioloop=poll notify=dnotify ipv6 openssl SQL drivers: Passdb: checkpassword passwd passwd-file shadow Userdb: checkpassword passwd prefetch passwd-file static I have a dovecot that I compiled for a different system and it includes "pam" in the Passdb line. I found a page on the web saying I might need the pam-devel package, but that doesn't seem to exist for ubuntu. I saved the output from ./configure, grepped for pam, and got: checking for pam_start in -lpam... no Any ideas? What do I need to get configure to do pam support? Thanks very much j

I don't see any mention of support for SiS (single-instance-storage) as discussed previously on the list, even for upcoming 1.2/2.0 Did this fall through a crack? Or did you decide it was going to be too difficult for the time being? I'd dearly like to get this working, at least for email attachments...

[Dovecot] namespaces, shared mailboxes
by Alexander 'Leo' Bergolth 02 Dec '07

02 Dec '07

Hi! I'd like to provide shared mailboxes with maildir that should appear like 'Shared/<mailboxname>' to the clients. Using the namespace configuration below, everything works fine, exept one thing: Mail clients (only tested with Thunderbird) won't allow to put mails directly in 'Shared/mailboxname' (the folder it is greyed out). You currently have to create subfolders and put the mails in those subfolders. Is there any workaround for this problem? -------------------- 8< -------------------- namespace private { separator = / inbox = yes prefix = location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u } namespace shared { separator = / # hidden = yes prefix = Shared/spamrep/ location = maildir:/var/spool/mail/Shared/spamrep:CONTROL=~/Maildir/control/Shared/spamrep:INDEX=~/Mail\ dir/index/Shared/spamrep } -------------------- 8< -------------------- I'm using dovecot 1.0.8. "Server supports folders that contain subfolders and messages" is enabled in Thunderbird's advanced server settings.

[Dovecot] imaptest update
by Timo Sirainen 02 Dec '07

02 Dec '07

I finally moved imaptest to mercurial repository and added a lot of new tests to it. It now also has its own wiki page: http://imapwiki.org/ImapTest Dovecot v1.1 with dbox or cydir format is the only open source IMAP server that reports no errors with it (haven't tried non-OSS servers). Dovecot with maildir and mbox have some problems with \Recent flag handling. I guess I'll have to figure out why.
