[Dovecot] Stopping certain users from using IMAP, or POP3, etc.
by David Craigon 02 Mar '07

02 Mar '07

Hi there, I'm building a mail system for an ISP. We want to be able to turn on or off IMAP or POP3 access for certain customers- basically we want to be able to offer a customer POP3 access, unless they pay us some more money, in which case they get IMAP The username and password will remain the same, and are driven out of a postgres database. The best way I've though of doing this so far is by defining separate auth systems for IMAP and POP. Is this the best way? A gold star is available if you can think of a way that if they try and use IMAP but haven't paid for it it rejects them with "Give us all your money..." or some such.

[Dovecot] Doing %var-substitutions in a plugin...
by Nicolas Boullis 02 Mar '07

02 Mar '07

Hi, I'm trying to write a plugin that need to do some %var-substitution. Is there a way to get the var_expand_table used by the process? If not, I guess I could use getenv("USER") (for %u, %n and %d) and getenv("HOME") (for %h); but what for the other ones? Cheers, Nicolas

[Dovecot] Thunderbird : open() failed with index file /home/XYZ/mail/.imap/Trash/dovecot.index: Not a directory
by Charles Bueche 02 Mar '07

02 Mar '07

Hi, almost everything is in the subject. Server : Solaris 9 /SPARC, Dovecot 1.0.rc22 Client : Mac OS X 10.4.8 (8L2127) Kernel-Version: Darwin 8.8.1 Thunderbird is: german Version 1.5.0.9 (20061207) With OS X Mail.app, message deletion works. With Thunderbird, a warning popup appear on the desktop. English translation is about "command failed, internal error occurred". The server log shows : > Mar 1 10:50:35 ZZZ dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.error] IMAP(XYZ): open > () failed with index file /home/XYZ/mail/.imap/Trash/dovecot.index: > Not a directory After checking, I see "Trash plugin was more or less broken with multiple namespaces and with multiple trash mailboxes" in rc24 release notes. Would an update to rc24 fix my user's issue ? Hints welcome, Charles -- Charles Bueche <charles(a)bueche.ch> sand, snow, wave, wind and net -surfer A-Cat SUI 192

Running rc24 and with one user in particular they are getting "(auth) killed with signal 11" when trying to pop email. IMAP works. What causes this?

[Dovecot] Deleting when Over Quota
by Daniel Watts 01 Mar '07

01 Mar '07

Hi All, I've read a bit about this but don't really see a full solution anywhere. Has anyone actually got a good fix for this? Telling a user they are over quota then not allowing them to delete anything does seem the height of perversion. =) Question is - is this even a problem for the IMAP server? Or should the MUA be detecting over quota problems and then issuing the right commands to delete messages WITHOUT the copy to Trash? Lastly - even if it is the MUA's responsibility - will Dovecot not still have a problem with indexes? I suspect perhaps not if: A. When using FS Quotas you store the indexes in a non quota partition B. When using other quotas (dirsize / maildir++), Dovecot does not count the index files when counting up the usage. Is B true? Best wishes, Daniel

[Dovecot] Still issues with new message count...
by Brian Taber 01 Mar '07

01 Mar '07

I am still having issues with new message count. When I move a message to another folder, it counts that message as new until you go into that folder. Is there a way I can solve this? Could it have something to do with NFS? I have tried all the NF workarounds with no luck... I have also tried NFSv3 and NFSv4, no difference. I store the indexes on the local drive...

[Dovecot] Event on Logout
by Luca Bertoncello 01 Mar '07

01 Mar '07

Hi, @all! Is it possible, with Dovecot, to do something (eg: an SQL-Query) when the User logs out (POP3) or do some action (IMAP)? My problem is to notify a DB when the user logs out or delete E-Mail (in this case, just for IMAP). Thanks for your answer! P.S.: if it is NOT possible, it is my Hit for the next version! :) -- _______________________________ Luca Bertoncello -Programmierung / Mailserver- IMS Internet-Media-Service GmbH Bayrische Str. 18 01069 Dresden Geschäftsführer: Axel C.E.

[Dovecot] How to Prevent IMAP Folders being moved, deleted or renamed
by FreeStyle 01 Mar '07

01 Mar '07

Hello I use exim/dovecot combination for mail delivery and pickup and I'm wondering how I can prevent users from moving, deleting or renaming particular IMAP folders. I use the MailDir mailbox format. The reason for doing this is that I have some special exim filters which deliver mail to specified directories. I don't want users to be able to change these folders because it will mess up the filtering. Also my mail client (Thunderbird) doesn't check the filter folders automatically is there an option in dovecot that lets you send notification to clients when new messages arrive in certain folders. more info: http://kb.mozillazine.org/How_do_I_check_for_new_messages_in_other_folders

[Dovecot] segv when Mailbox is in inconsistent state, please relogin.
by Steffen Kaiser 01 Mar '07

01 Mar '07

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, for testing I have different filesystems on various block devices, which I mount on /mnt/mailcache as needed; however, the indexes and caches are located on /var/cache, hence, they get out of sync easily.

Hoever, the web page (http://dovecot.org/bugreport.html) states that every signal 11 is a bug and will be fixed, so here it goes: running Linux x32, Debian Etch, Dovecot rc23, MUA: Thunderbird. It occurs to me that the data on /var/cache must be younger than the one on /mnt/mailcache; e.g. when you re-login after the segv, it works fine. There seems to be one segv per folder with messages.

[Dovecot] Force "lower case" Folder Creation?
by Rich, Whidbey Telecom 28 Feb '07

28 Feb '07

We're exploring the use of "plus addressing" in our MTA (Exim), which delivers "user+topic(a)domain.com" to a user's "topic" folder. However, the case-sensitive nature of our ext3 filesystem means that a message destined to "topic" won't deliver to a user's "Topic" folder. For example, if a user creates a "Topic" folder, and gives "user+Topic(a)domain.com" to a web form that lower-cases it, delivery is deferred. Although we're checking to see if Exim can workaround this, is there a way Dovecot (1.0rc24) can force lowercase folder names without a patch? We'd hate to do this but are exploring our options. Thanks! Rich

[Dovecot] 1.0rc_15 - imap-login disappearing
by James Pattinson 28 Feb '07

28 Feb '07

Hi All I am trying to troubleshoot a problem that's been bugging me for several months. About once or twice per week my IMAP server seems to get in a state where no connections are possible (Thunderbird hangs at "Connected to <server>"). Restarting dovecot completely fixes the problem, until it occurs again, hours or days later. I caught the problem today after I rebooted my server, and monitored the running processes while attempting to connect. After each connection attempt, the number of imap-idle processes running decremented until none at all were running. Before the final imap-login process died, I attached an instance of strace to it - results here: http://www.pasteserver.net/286 I am running Dovecot 1.0_rc15 on a Gentoo server. It's a vmware virtual server - mentioning this now just in case, but I'm confident that's not anything to do with it, no other services are having any problems that I am aware of. I am using TLS and Maildir. I don't know enough about how dovecot is supposed to work, so I would appreciate some help in diagnosing this problem! Cheers, James

[Dovecot] permissions problem reading INBOX

Thanks for that. A more specific question: is there a way to have imap/pop-login processes log the PID of the child imap/pop process? This would be for the purpose of connecting a specific authentication with its own session activity in the case of multiple logins by a single user. -Brian

[Dovecot] relay-ctrl works
by Amitai Schlair 28 Feb '07

28 Feb '07

In case anyone still cares, relay-ctrl works with Dovecot. Dovecot's end of the bargain requires a dirty little script to set TCPREMOTEIP based on the arguments passed from imap-login: #!/bin/sh TCPREMOTEIP=`echo "$@" | sed -e 's|.* ||' -e 's|]$||'` export TCPREMOTEIP exec "$@" And this (long) line in dovecot.conf: mail_executable: envdir /etc/relay-ctrl /usr/local/bin/relay-ctrl- chdir /usr/local/bin/dovecot-settcpremoteip /usr/local/bin/relay-ctrl- allow /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap For the SMTP end of the bargain, relay-ctrl has docs for qmail-smtpd and mailfront.
