[Dovecot] Migrating from uw-imapd to dovecot
by Anne Hammond 14 Sep '06

14 Sep '06

We recently switch from up-imapd to dovecot But many users are reporting that they cannot access certain mail folders. The log file has: imap(dws): Sep 14 00:06:19 Error: File isn't in mbox format: /home/research/dws/mail/TaskDL The files in the logs are "MBX mail folders", not "ASCII English text" as are the folders that can be read under Outlook. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? This is a serious problem in switching. I've read the FAQ and documentation but it doesn't speak to this specific problem. Thanks in advance, Anne Hammond Tech-X Corporation

[Dovecot] Dovecot 1.0.beta9, emails disappearing?
by Martin Végiard 14 Sep '06

14 Sep '06

Hi, I've been using Dovecot successfully for a while and I've recently encountered an issue : I got to work today and half the emails, were deleted... and after careful investigation : - On Monday it seems, the emails magically vanished .. (what I've been told) - My backup from Tuesday morning at 3am, indicates that all the files (mailbox) are intact but the subscription file is missing half the entries. - At noon, on Tuesday, half the subscriptions are still missing and half the files now also missing. Any ideas, known issues, suggestions? Details : # dovecot --version 1.0.beta9 # uname -a NetBSD Z 3.0.1 NetBSD 3.0.1 (GENERIC.MPACPI) #0: Fri Aug 18 08:34:05 EDT 2006 m@Z:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC.MPACPI i386 the server in question is usually just idling away... and nothing abnormal in my logs thanks for your time, Martin

[Dovecot] Quota plugin API documentation ?
by Craig Huckabee 13 Sep '06

13 Sep '06

What is the best reference for the quota plugin API ? I have some code that can return the disk quota from AFS that I would like to add to the existing file system quota plugin (or perhaps create a new plugin) but I am having a hard time deciphering what each function should return and the data formats (e.g. kilobytes versus bytes). Any pointers are appreciated. --Craig

[Dovecot] MySQL Authentication
by Peter Fraser 12 Sep '06

12 Sep '06

Hi all I have this interesting issue. I installed dovecot on FreeBSD 6.1. The install went well. I'm trying to get it to use a mysql database that postfix is already using to authenticate. When I use this in dovecot.conf userdb mysql { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql.conf } passdb mysql { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql.conf } I get this error. auth(default): Unknown passdb driver 'mysql' (typo, or Dovecot was built without support for it? Check with dovecot --build-options) This is strange because I did compile it with mysql support. Any ideas here?

[Dovecot] TAB characters in subject header continuation/wrap lines
by Stephen Warren 12 Sep '06

12 Sep '06

I have some emails where the Subject line has been wrapped, and subsequent lines are indented with TAB characters. Specifically, here's a dump of a portion of an email: 0002020 C c : sp nl S u b j e c t : sp [ B 0002040 u i l d b o t ] sp B u i l d B o 0002060 t sp S U C C E S S nl ht ( B l d _ 0002100 g s s d k _ g s s d k _ t e s t 0002120 _ 2 0 0 6 _ 0 9 _ 1 2 _ 0 0 _ 0 0002140 1 _ 0 0 _ I n c r e m e n t a l 0002160 _ 2 ) nl X - B e e n T h e r e : Note the HT about half way through the third line. When I view this email using Thunderbird 1.5.0.5 on Windows XP, with Dovecot 1.0.rc7 running on CentOS 4.3, this TAB character shows up as a funny character in the subject line, as displayed by the Thunderbird. My question is: Should Dovecot be detecting mail header continuation lines that start with a TAB, and stripping the TAB (converting to a space)? I *think* that's what the RFCs implied when I read up on this a few months ago, but I may easily be mis-remembering. A second somewhat off-topic question: When the automated system that sends out these messages sends them to me directly, this problem does not occur, because the email titles are not wrapped. However, when I receive these emails via a mailman mailing list, mailman prepends the text "[Buildbot]" on the front of the title, thus making the title long enough to require wrapping. As such, I imagine that it's mailman that is indenting the Subject continuation line with the TAB character. Is there an issue in mailman - should mailman be indenting with e.g. a SPACE character, or is mailman's action perfectly legal? Thanks for any pointers.

[Dovecot] Using pgsql with 'cram-md5 auth' and 'hmac-md5 scheme'
by Jonathan Ballet 12 Sep '06

12 Sep '06

Hello, I want to use PostgreSQL to store my Dovecot users. I setup a very basic configuration, following word for word this page http://wiki.dovecot.org/DovecotPostgresql and it works ... almost. In fact, it works if I use PLAIN password scheme in my database. However, I would like to store them encrypted. But, if I replace the password field for my user with {HMAC-MD5}-... (the password generated by dovecotpw), it doesn't work. Here is the log, using PLAIN password scheme (all debug options activated) : =================================================== auth(default): client in: AUTH 1 CRAM-MD5 service=IMAP secured lip=127.0.0.1 rip=127.0.0.1 auth(default): client out: CONT 1 PDU3NTgxMTE5MTcwMTYzNjguMTE1ODAxMTQzN0BkZWI2ND4= auth(default): client in: CONT 1 am9uIDJjN2RmMDVmZWZiNWU4MmE0MzFkMjM2YThhYzc2MDAx auth(default): sql(jon,127.0.0.1): query: SELECT userid as user, password FROM users WHERE userid = 'jon' auth(default): password(jon,127.0.0.1): Credentials: 3fd9989457cb3edf1fb8d31dddaf11f3f0efee3423aeb9ebf9bbe981f86a079b auth(default): client out: OK 1 user=jon auth(default): master in: REQUEST 1 23748 1 auth(default): sql(jon,127.0.0.1): SELECT home, uid, gid FROM users WHERE userid = 'jon' auth(default): master out: USER 1 jon home=/var/mail/jon/ uid=5000 gid=5000 IMAP(jon): Effective uid=5000, gid=5000 IMAP(jon): maildir: data=/var/mail/jon IMAP(jon): maildir:root=/var/mail/jon, index=/var/mail/jon, control=, inbox= imap-login: Login: user=<jon>, method=CRAM-MD5, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured IMAP(jon): Disconnected: Logged out And here is the log, using HMAC-MD5 password scheme (all debug options activated too) : ===================================================== auth(default): client in: AUTH 1 CRAM-MD5 service=IMAP secured lip=127.0.0.1 rip=127.0.0.1 auth(default): client out: CONT 1 PDI0MDc4NTQzMDc5NjU2NTIuMTE1ODAxMTkxNUBkZWI2ND4= auth(default): client in: CONT 1 am9uIDViNmE4NDI5ZjUzZTQ3YTEzZmEzNjhiOThlYjI5OTFi auth(default): sql(jon,127.0.0.1): query: SELECT userid as user, password FROM users WHERE userid = 'jon' auth(default): password(jon,127.0.0.1): Credentials: auth(default): cram-md5(jon,127.0.0.1): password mismatch auth(default): client out: FAIL 1 user=jon imap-login: Disconnected: user=<jon>, method=CRAM-MD5, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured The login + password used for those tests are 'jon'/'jonpwd'. In the second example, I didn't get any Credentials, whereas in the first case (PLAIN scheme), the Credentials output correspond to the 'dovecotpw' generated password (as in `dovecotpw -s HMAC-MD5 -p jonpwd`). I don't know if it's normal or not. So, I'm not sure what to do next :/ I use this kind of 'auth mechanism'/'password scheme' on another computer, with passwd-like files, and it works. So, I don't know why the same data, coming from another location, doesn't work. Any help would be greatly appreciated ! Thanks, -- Jonathan

I run under FC5. I want to setup a mail server with postfix (already runnung) and dovecot. Once this i working I add spamassassin and clamav. I setup postfix and can send emails. When replying to these emails they do not get to my server (I checked in the Maildir directory of the user, there is no file) The server has 2 NICs. there is a firewall where I opened the port 143 (that is for IMAP?) 0 0 ACCEPT tcp -- eth1 * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 state NEW tcp dpt:143 flags:0x17/0x02 the only change I made to the dovecot.conf files is: protocols = imap I did not touch the rest as in the comments of the file it says # Default values are shown after each value, it's not required to uncomment # any of the lines. Any hint on what I am doing wrong is welcomed. Thanks in advance

[Dovecot] Namespace with a single mailbox (for spam)
by Tom Alsberg 12 Sep '06

12 Sep '06

Hi there. Perhaps this is answered somewhere, but a short search through the mailing list and Wiki yielded nothing. We have spam filtering set up for all users, with all messages over some spam threshold going to a separate mbox. There is one directory containing the spam mboxes of all users (call it "/var/spool/spam", right now), with the spam box of a user residing in /var/spool/spam/<user>. I am trying to achieve that, in IMAP, each user will see his spam mbox as a folder named "SPAM" or something like that (possibly under some new namespace), without creating a symbolic link for each user. Is there any facility for that? Specifically, I do not want to create a single namespace pointing to the directory, since that will cause each user to have to access his spam folder under a different name (e.g. #spam.<user>), and users will also see (although not be able to read) others' spam folders.

[Dovecot] bug report, from apple.com

11 Sep '06

Bruce includes detailed information including the imap session. Bruce works at Apple, on the Apple Mail.app product. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Bruce Arthur <barthur(a)apple.com> To: dovecot(a)dovecot.org Cc: Bruce Arthur <barthur(a)apple.com> Date: Tue, 29 Aug 2006 09:04:35 -0700 Subject: Problem using Apple Mail with Dovecot Server Configuration: dovecot-1.0.rc6 Built with: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local OS: FreeBSD 4.10-STABLE i386 running on ufs Client configuration Mac OS X 10.4.7, using Apple Mail client. Issue: Apple Mail is able to connect to the server, but it is not seeing the available folder correctly. I did a little debugging and it looks like dovecot is failing to provide the separator in response to the LIST command. I did not spend anytime trying to figure out how other mail clients are getting this (my tcpdump is a little rusty these days). Here is what I see Mail sending to the server, and it's responses. 1 LOGIN applecot ******** 1 OK Logged in. 2 CAPABILITY * CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 SASL-IR SORT THREAD=REFERENCES MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT LITERAL+ IDLE CHILDREN NAMESPACE LOGIN-REFERRALS 2 OK Capability completed. 3 LIST "" "" 3 OK List completed. The "LIST" command should be sending back the mailbox separator. The IMAP spec seems pretty clear about this (but reading RFC's is always a bit of a challenge). From the RFC: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2060.txt 6.3..8. LIST Command Arguments: reference name mailbox name with possible wildcards Responses: untagged responses: LIST Result: OK - list completed NO - list failure: can't list that reference or name BAD - command unknown or arguments invalid An empty ("" string) reference name argument indicates that the mailbox name is interpreted as by SELECT. The returned mailbox names MUST match the supplied mailbox name pattern. A non-empty reference name argument is the name of a mailbox or a level of mailbox hierarchy, and indicates a context in which the mailbox name is interpreted in an implementation-defined manner. An empty ("" string) mailbox name argument is a special request to return the hierarchy delimiter and the root name of the name given in the reference. The value returned as the root MAY be null if the reference is non-rooted or is null. In all cases, the hierarchy delimiter is returned. This permits a client to get the hierarchy delimiter even when no mailboxes by that name currently exist. Example: C: A101 LIST "" "" S: * LIST (\Noselect) "/" "" S: A101 OK LIST Completed C: A102 LIST #news.comp.mail.misc "" S: * LIST (\Noselect) "." #news. S: A102 OK LIST Completed C: A103 LIST /usr/staff/jones "" S: * LIST (\Noselect) "/" / S: A103 OK LIST Completed C: A202 LIST ~/Mail/ % S: * LIST (\Noselect) "/" ~/Mail/foo S: * LIST () "/" ~/Mail/meetings S: A202 OK LIST completed -- Bruce ------- From: Jason Fesler <jfesler(a)gigo.com> To: Bruce Arthur <barthur(a)apple.com> Cc: dovecot(a)dovecot.org Date: Tue, 29 Aug 2006 10:41:55 -0700 (PDT) Subject: Re: Problem using Apple Mail with Dovecot > Server Configuration: > dovecot-1.0.rc6 > Built with: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local > OS: FreeBSD 4.10-STABLE i386 running on ufs Thanks, Bruce.

[Dovecot] Wrong content-type reported for messages with only a text/html body?
by Mathijs den Burger 11 Sep '06

11 Sep '06

Hi all, It looks like Dovecot 1.0rc7 reports the wrong content-type for messages with only a text/html body. An example of such a message is: --- From: mathijs(a)izecom.com Subject: test To: foobar(a)example.com Content-Type: text/html; test --- When I talk IMAP to Dovecot directly using telnet and fetch the bodystructure of this message, Dovecot replies: * 1 FETCH (BODYSTRUCTURE ("text" "plain" ("charset" "us-ascii") NIL NIL "7bit" 6 1 NIL NIL NIL)) I guess that should be 'text/html', not 'text/plain'. Is this a bug or am I missing something here? FYI: I run Dovecot on Debian stable with version 1.0rc7 compiled from source. cheers, Mathijs

[Dovecot] AppleMail 1.3 filter problem [solved] / fc5 package of 1.0rc7
by Bill McGonigle 11 Sep '06

11 Sep '06

Hi, Folks, I recently migrated from courier-imapd to dovecot when I migrated a machine from rh9 to fc5. I managed to hit a snag with the 1.0b8 version of dovecot that's currently in fc5. With AppleMail 1.3 I was seeing most of my incoming mail go missing. To make a long story short, AppleMail was applying mail filters inappropriately (walking right past a 'stop processing' rule and moving my incoming mail into folders specified for Act-On actions). This made the AppleMail 1.3 client unusable with 1.0b8. Before complaining here I figured I ought to try the current version, and, sure enough, 1.0rc7 fails to cause AppleMail to go insane like 1.0b8 did. I'm not sure which change between b8 and rc7 is the important one, but rc7 seems to work well. I saw the pointer on the Wiki to the ATRPM's repository which had a current RPM, but looking at the included patches in their SRPM they seem to be doing things somewhat differently than the Fedora guys are (default settings, etc.), so, I figured for my machine I'd rather stay as close to the Fedora methodology to make future upgrades perhaps less painful. To that end I took the SRPM for b8 from fc5 and modified it as little as possible to make it work with 1.0rc7. One bugfix patch was left out as that seems to have been fixed in the Dovecot source during the interim period. I put the resulting RPM and SRPM up here: http://bfccomputing.com/downloads/dovecot/ in case anybody wants to use it, review it, merge it into Fedora Core, their repo, etc. I'm neither an RPM packing nor Dovecot source expert and I've only tested it lightly, but I'm using it currently and haven't seen problems. -Bill ----- Bill McGonigle, Owner Work: 603.448.4440 BFC Computing, LLC Home: 603.448.1668 bill(a)bfccomputing.com Cell: 603.252.2606 http://www.bfccomputing.com/ Page: 603.442.1833 Blog: http://blog.bfccomputing.com/ VCard: http://bfccomputing.com/vcard/bill.vcf

[Dovecot] Create subfolder
by Hugo Dubé 11 Sep '06

11 Sep '06

I have dovecot on Fedora Core 5 and I want to create a subfolder. By default its impossible!!!! I setup dovecot for maildir and after I able to create a subfolder. But I cant receive my old and new email on this format. I read dovecot documentation at http://wiki.dovecot.org/QuestionsAndAnswers#head-35b621e067b7e72c1d1e47886f4 00a1a784bd95c and its write: For ordinary local Unix users, you may want to specify the mail environment as "maildir:%h/Maildir:INBOX=/var/mail/%n". There are two reasons. First, mail can be delivered there without consuming the user's disk quota on the home directory. Second, the user's home directory may prohibit access to any users other than the owner and the privileged user root. Having the INBOX outside the user's home directory permits mail delivery by programs running without root privileges, but belong to the group mail. I try it with maildir:%h/Maildir:INBOX=/var/mail/%n and dont work. I cant connect to my imap server. Help me please!!! Hugo

I have found the reason why i can not authenticate users using SHA1 passowds. Problem is dovecot stores sha1 as "sum of the password stored in base64" but mysql and exim store it in hex. Question is why, and does anyone have patch for it? Best regards, Tomasz Krynicki

[Dovecot] Virtual and system users
by Max A 08 Sep '06

08 Sep '06

Hi. I can not understand, how at presence of system users (passdb shadow and userdb passwd) and virtual (for example, user(a)host.domain.com as system user and user(a)domain.com as virtual) to allow virtual users to not enter a domain part of username at a login, and to allow system users to use a full name (user(a)host.domain.com)? I have read the documentation and default config - I can not understand, how it can be made? If the parameter "auth_username_format = %n" worked inside of separate passdb{} and userdb{} sections, it can be realized, but it does not work inside of them :( . --- M. Alhimenko.
