Case sensitivity
by John Oliver 15 Sep '14

15 Sep '14

I think I've answered my last question by changing mail_location But I'm still getting duplicate mailboxes: [joliver@localhost ~]$ sudo ls -l /var/vmail/ total 8 drwx------. 3 vmail vmail 4096 Sep 11 10:30 testuser1 drwx------. 3 vmail vmail 4096 Sep 11 10:36 testUser1 The cn for my user is 'testUser1', and that's where postfix writes mail. But dovecot wants to use 'testuser1', even if I log in as 'testUser1' I suppose one answer may be to try to get postfix to always use lower-case, but in case that can't happen, how can I get dovecot to ignore case when looking for mailboxes? -- *********************************************************************** * John Oliver http://www.john-oliver.net/ * * * ***********************************************************************

Hello, I'm trying to use my server running dovecot to receive via imap a backup of my gmail account, messages. I'm getting an error from imap.gmail.com that it does support plain authentication but that it failed to download messages. If anyone has this working please let me know what you had to do. Thanks.

Per-folder (per-mailbox) message expiration with control from client side — is it possible?
by Lev Serebryakov 15 Sep '14

15 Sep '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 I'm migrating from «old skool» solution with one mail client (MUA) on one computer, which retrieves mail via POP3, sorts it and manages it locally to installation when there are several MUAs on different devices, accessing mail via IMAP4, and all sorting and management should be server-side. Sorting is “easy”: sieve. Here are some nuisance (like, if I want to rename folder/mailbox I need to edit script manually. BTW, it looks like that such thing could be done automagically, as language is very simple and find all references to mailboxes is not too hard task), but it works. But is here good solution for expiration? I have abut 50 folders (mailboxes) and rules are very different for them. They are mostly time-based (like "last 30 days"), but some folders are count-limited ("last 2000 messages") and some folders should have time limit but non-read messages could not be deleted at all. Ok, Thunderbird almost could do it (it doesn't have “don't remove unread messages” option), but I don't want to have any meaningful configuration in MUAs, as each of it could be non-active for long time. Only thing I could find about expiration in dovecot documentation is "doveadm expunge" and helper "Expire" plugin, but it looks like very low-level solution for admins, it could not be managed from client side without direct ssh access to server and it is, in general, very inconvenient. Is here any better solution, maybe, 3rd party one? - -- // Black Lion AKA Lev Serebryakov -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQJ8BAEBCgBmBQJUFf2BXxSAAAAAAC4AKGlzc3Vlci1mcHJAbm90YXRpb25zLm9w ZW5wZ3AuZmlmdGhob3JzZW1hbi5uZXRGOTZEMUNBMEI1RjQzMThCNjc0QjMzMEFF QUIwM0M1OEJGREM0NzhGAAoJEOqwPFi/3EePphIQAJUlYIFgXWBcWcrejcbOFgYf op+g35YF4wfwboPkgb/mKk46V3lcjmQImcHir2fci0SCsSSfARcU1a8y4iaeSkPU l949PaMYD8stfukfCbXjoY5pD5FIpj1Os7dDtgdoygp0tfsA4mDg1O0exZoduR9s q4NNPlsnlKOjX2KMOdcWI2AR8/xiFi4zvDTB/vibQPMy8kXVB8ld4Mk0BF1TUyOv 80KKOKzFDxQeLzvoEiNm6FDAqYGEYmpECUaFGXyKG1a7wslhEmEeShJUH5lsj3Oz niMxoO/KTEW0U9QucHQogFJzrcsKkJiOByjqQovWKgZziJll38lCN0O1murMmRBC bDLmN9t53JC7Ef88AbKsaFeULy/AxriohdGU6ePb8j/4W9KlERSJyvgxFkcMxHTg 9mSPiYAHaPr+Ycrzs9SOqhki5b6tI8Q39W/etRorb2us9FS1JE7ib4XLk5ufiUje XOLc4TACUh1qnd/5UUgcIuUrg/akSJgJLZoXg36LqUF/1OeMJHec4RMJresvewAZ RwseWHH/KpD7KxOWlO2Zw1ceHlVFDLWOO/4KWoy/XwZ66fQxEAkLO8ZVyeKMh5Nh dYL+yLQKZdgNWAjalK4lFmwz3u/9jNITwtP5GYLbYnP28EcbDfiN/w9oKGOI8fsD ulD+ca3vx29qdmGGYcKt =9+bG -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

sieve: is it possible to filter ALL mailing lists (with header List-Id) to their folders with ONE rule?
by Lev Serebryakov 15 Sep '14

15 Sep '14

Hello, Dovecot. Is it possible to write one rule in sieve, which will: (1) Trigger on any message with "List-Id" header AND (2) Put this message to folder with name build from content of "List-Id" header, in such way, that message with List-Id List-Id: This is decription of list <list-name.host.org> will be put into folder "org.host.list-name" where "." is namespace separator (so, such folders will be shown as hierarchy in mail client)? I don't want to write ~50 rules by hands and add new ones from time to time. I'm speaking about dovecot/pigeonhole sieve implementation, of course. All examples on net shows only manual one-rule-per-list approach :( -- // Black Lion AKA Lev Serebryakov <lev(a)serebryakov.spb.ru>

Migration - Getting it right the first time.
by Dan Carroll 15 Sep '14

15 Sep '14

Hello All, I’m currently in the process of migrating a very old imap installation to a new server. I think I have everything in place now but I’ve not yet written the procedure on how to do it. The outline will be as follows: put MTA-OLD into store mode where it holds the incoming emails for an indefinite period. Copy all IMAP data across to the new server. Process the IMAP data, converting it from courier to dovecot. put MTA-OLD into forward mode, sending all mail to MTA-NEW Adjust MX records accordingly so MTA-OLD is no longer used. The “process” part is where I need to take some care. I am aware of the migration tool available for moving the data, but I’m not confidant that my courier databases are in a healthy state. Does anyone have any idea how I can verify that this is the case? I’m happy to do it either before, or after the migration to dovecot, but I’d probably prefer to do it beforehand on the old server. The biggest thing I am concerned about is losing the order of mail messages. It’s not always enough to trust the “received date” for sorting mail, I’d rather my imap clients trust the imap server to send them the correct order. A second question. Is there a possibility to make the MTA switch, and migrate the messages across in an orderly fashion at a later date? Again, I’d like to ensure that older migrated messages appear further down the “order” than new messages coming into the MTA. Lastly, thanks for an awesome piece of software. My limited experience so far has been refreshing! -Dan

Dovecot HA
by Hoggins! 13 Sep '14

13 Sep '14

Hello everyone, Following my previous message about replication (I'm still stuck), I was wondering in a more general way how to achieve high availability with Dovecot, and how to store the mail data. Do you have some thoughts about this ? Maybe one or two links leading to people who already have ideas or experience ? I don't host a big e-mail service, nor have a lot of clients connecting. I just need to ensure that data is always available, from the storage to the actual service. Thanks in advance.

charset-specific searches, and continuation lines
by Eric Abrahamsen 12 Sep '14

12 Sep '14

Hi there, I'm looking into improving IMAP search support for the Gnus Emacs mail client, and trying to add the ability to search non-ascii characters. So far as I know, I start this invocation with something like: . UID SEARCH CHARSET UTF-8 TEXT {NNN} Where NNN is the number of bytes in my search string. Dovecot then responds with: + OK So... what do I do then? I don't actually know what the next statement is, to provide the actual search string itself. Googling has proved unhelpful, as most of the examples online don't actually show this "+ OK" response. Can someone just briefly outline what's meant to happen next? I've tried including the search string immediately after the byte-size, separated by various combinations of \n\r, but that always gives me a "Missing LF after literal size" error. I'm using the Archlinux dovecot package, which reports version 2.2.13-1. Thanks! Eric

Problem with virtual folders

minimal configuration for lucene fts
by Eric Abrahamsen 11 Sep '14

11 Sep '14

Hi, I'm using dovecot (version 2.2.13 on archlinux) in the simplest, no-brainer way possible. It sits between mbsync, which I use to fetch mail from servers, and Gnus, my MUA. Both mbsync and Gnus connect to dovecot with an invocation like this: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap -o mail_location=maildir:$HOME/.mail/ea/ I have three different mail accounts, all that changes is the final directory on the mail_location path above. I haven't touched anything else: there's no running daemon, no configuration, no user database, no PAM, no nothing. Now I'm trying to set up text searching via lucene, but all the examples I've seen online assume a full running daemon and user accounts. I tried to fake it by running: doveadm index -u eric@localhost -q INBOX -o mail_location-maildir:/home/eric/.mail/ea but it was clearly expecting a user database. Is there any way to create text indexes for my three different accounts, in their respective directories, without fully setting up a running dovecot? I'll do that if I have to, but my current setup works great, and is very simple, and I'd like to keep it simple if I can. Thanks! Eric

outlook 2013
by Bob Miller 10 Sep '14

10 Sep '14

I am trying really hard to wrap my head around why people insist on using this program... Where I have outlook 2013 users, I have had nothing but problems getting their mail to work with imap. my solution has been to set them up with pop, which works just like it always has. Or move them to a different program. recently, I have a customer who requires multiple machines, all using outlook 2013, to access the same email address, so pretty much have to use imap. if I set up just one of the machines with imap, it works more less as expected, with hiccups such as mail taking an hour or two or more to show up. But shortly after I connect a 2nd machine to the same account, one or both machines start to go wonky. Symptoms include deleted items returning, read messages becoming unread again, and duplicates being constantly created and deleted. The last I can confirm by watching in webmail and refreshing the inbox every few seconds; as mail shows up and deletes in outlook, so it does in webmail too. On my test machine connected to the same server, I have evolution, outlook and thunderbird all connecting to one account with no problems. Well, outlook hiccups, but it's not unusable. And I have other users on the system that share email accounts across a variety of other clients and platforms, including older versions of outlook. I have tried checking message rules, there are none; removing all folder subscriptions; running scanpst, which finds errors even before the account finishes syncing and ever time I run it after that; I have looked for viruses/malware; I have confirmed there is no forwarding or some trickery happening on the server; chkdsk and similar hardware checks all come up clean, the computers are only a couple of months old; I have got certs set up with SANs and the CA installed such that outlook does not error on the certificate; and I have tried just about every combination of settings that seem relevant. The one thing that does seem to work, at least for a few minutes or an hour or two, is deleting and recreating the accounts on one of the computers. But the problem inevitably returns in short order. Surely people have outlook 2013 connecting via imap to dovecot without problems; is there some special trick that google is hiding from me? -- Computerisms Bob Miller 867-334-7117 / 867-633-3760 http://computerisms.ca

Dovecot replication
by Hoggins! 10 Sep '14

10 Sep '14

Hello list, I'm trying to achieve very simple replication, but I'm not sure if I'm starting the good way. I have two Dovecot servers that use the same GlusterFS storage. Of course, the indexes get corrupted eventually, even if I apply an "NFS-like" configuration. So I'd like to synchronize my two servers with each other. I'm trying to follow this page : http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Replication, but I have to admit that it's not really self-explanatory. I got several errors, so I decided to start fresh, and that is why I'm not giving you any configuration, but I prefer asking if I have the prerequisites. The page states that my userdb should have "user listing", and that you can check it by issuing `doveadm user '*'`. But I don't know what it's supposed to produce, apart from my userlist (my userdb is the system passwd file). As my servers are located on the same private LAN, I decided I would not go with the SSH replication solution, but with the simple mutual TCP connection... Maybe this is a wrong start. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance !

LDAP authentication
by John Oliver 10 Sep '14

CentOS 6.5, dovecot 2.0.9-7 I was using http://www.linuxmail.info/postfix-dovecot-ldap-centos-5/ to get LDAP auth working. And what's really annoying is, it worked... until I screwed something up and had to pull my work back from a backup. Now it doesn't work :-( [joliver@localhost ~]$ telnet localhost 143 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN] Dovecot ready. a1 LOGIN testuser1 password a1 NO [AUTHENTICATIONFAILED] Authentication failed.

dovecot 2.2.13: LMTP delivery with multiple recipients incorrectly mixes users
by Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz 10 Sep '14

Hi. I'm using exim that delivers email over LMTP to dovecot 2.2.13. I noticed that dovecot LMTP service is sometimes (reare but repeats) mixing users. Example below. There is one mail (msgid=<1ACE53B70631CA45B62348E4EE8757493731A59E@KRMXA41>) that is going to be delivered to multiple local recipients.

Replication problem
by Ve (HOME) 10 Sep '14

10 Sep '14

Hi, I'm using mdbox and replication. Due to configuration error synchronization was not able to be done last week. Since then the problem has been corrected but synchronisation for some mailbox always failed in I/O stalled timeout for 600 seconds. The link between the two servers is quite slow and multiple sync are done in parallel leading to congested link. I can't replicate with rsync as change in the mdbox has been done on the two servers to get back to a working state. What do you think could be done to resynchronized the two dovecot server. Another question is what is this timeout ? Timeout of communication i.e no data received during 600 seconds ( to me that looks unlikely ) or 600 seconds for doing the full sync or 600 seconds for one mail sync. Thanks for any help. Regards, Vincent

preserving flags for shared mailbox when migrating from cyrus to dovecot
by Jogi Hofmüller 10 Sep '14

10 Sep '14

Dear all, Despite all the progress we are making in our attempt to make the migration as smooth and transparent for our users there are still some important unsolved issues. One thing that I can't figure out is how to preserve a user's flags that s/he has for mail in a shared mailbox. So far we tried 'doveadm backup -R' as well as the cyrus2dovecot script from here [1]. Both work well for individual mailboxes but do not migrate subscriptions for shared mailboxes and -- more importantly -- flags for mail in a shared mailbox. Reconstructing subscriptions is quite easy but I have no clue on how to reconstruct a user's flags. Any hint is greatly appreciated!

master user in ldap?
by Francesco 10 Sep '14

10 Sep '14

Hello everyone, i was wondering if it was possible to add master user criteria in ldap backends. the idea is that the users, members of a specific group, should be able to login with their own credentials on behalf of other users. i've tried setting it up like this: hosts = localhost dn = CN=ldapuser,OU=someldapou,DC=domain,DC=tld dnpass = <password> auth_bind = yes ldap_version = 3 base = DC=domain,DC=tld user_attrs = sAMAccountName=home=/var/vmail/% $,skip=found,maxStorage=quota_rule=*:storage=% $M,quota_rule2=Trash:storage=+100M user_filter = (&(ObjectClass=person)(sAMAccountName=% u)(memberOf=CN=Domain Admins,CN=Users,DC=domain,DC=tld)) then i added a passdb as follows passdb { driver = ldap master = yes args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap-masteruser.conf.ext } and of course the separator. but when i try to login with realuser*userinadministratorsgroup passwordofuserinadministratorsgroup i get authentication failed. am i missing something? is it even possible to accomplish such thing? because i didn't see any example in the wiki, only plain passdb and sql. thanks in advance Francesco

Escape comma in the LDAP passdb subquery configuration
by Francesco Fiore 10 Sep '14

10 Sep '14

Hi I have to configure the LDAP passdb to execute a subquery defining dinamically the new DN to use. For example: pass_attrs = @mail=mail=%{login_user},dc=%{login_domain},dc=example,dc=com,\ =proxy=y,\ =host=%{ldap:mailHost@mail} In the previous example, the problem is the use of "," for DN representation, which is also the separator for the attribute template in the pass_attr parameter value. I tried to escape it with '\' or '%' but it doesn't work. Dovecot version is 2.2.13. How can I resolve this issue? Thanks in advance

ACL with Public Namespace
by Bruno Galindro da Costa 10 Sep '14

I've configured a namespace like this: namespace avisos { type = public list = yes location = maildir:/var/mail.avisos:INDEXPVT=~/Maildir/avisos subscriptions = yes prefix = "AVISOS." mailbox DIVULGA { auto = subscribe } } This is the namespace representation in filesystem: root@imap:~# ls -lha /var/mail.avisos/ total 44K drwxr-xr-x 7 vmail mail 4,0K Set 9 18:21 . drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 4,0K Set 9 17:08 .. drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail mail 4,0K Set 9 16:49 .DIVULGA -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17 Set 9 18:21 dovecot-acl -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail mail 0 Set 9 18:11 dovecot-acl-list -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail mail 360 Set 9 18:11 dovecot.mailbox.log -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail mail 8 Set 9 18:02 dovecot-uidvalidity -r--r--r-- 1 vmail mail 0 Set 9 14:57 dovecot-uidvalidity.540f3f88 -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail mail 249 Set 9 18:11 subscriptions This is the content of dovecot-acl file located at namespace's root level: root@imap:~# cat /var/mail.avisos/dovecot-acl authenticated rs After reload dovecot service, it trows this error message in log: Sep 9 18:14:13 imap dovecot: imap(user@mydomain): Error: Failed to autocreate mailbox AVISOS.DIVULGA: Permission denied So, I've changed the dovecot-acl file to this one and the problem was solved. root@imap:~# cat /var/mail.avisos/dovecot-acl authenticated rsk But that change created another problem: dovecot-acl file is copied into AVISOS.DIVULGA. So, the user can create a maildir inside it. This behaviour is bad because "invalid" maildirs are created under the filesystem. My intention is to don't permit the user to create any maildir inside any location of that namespace. But, I want to make possible to the administrator to edit the dovecot.conf, insert a new mailbox into namespace avisos and reload dovecot service to create new maildirs automatically. How can I solve this problem? -- Att. Bruno Galindro da Costa

Dovecot + Postfix postmulti SASL

Hello, Our Postfix setup uses multi-instance feature. I would like to enable dovecot SASL mechanisms in postfix. Open two unix sockets is not a problem for us: service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix-instance1/private/auth { mode = 0660 user = postfix group = postfix } unix_listener /var/spool/postfix-instance2/private/auth { mode = 0660 user = postfix group = postfix } } Lets assume, that postfix-instance1 uses LDAP1, and postfix-instance2 uses LDAP2. How can I use different userdb and passdb databases for those sockets? -- Sincerely, Nerijus Kislauskas

Panic/backtrace in dovecot 2.2.13
by Ed W 07 Sep '14

07 Sep '14

Hi I'm running into regular problems with dovecot choking on "corrupted" index files. The main problem is that it doesn't sort itself out and recover. This message below is repeated regularly in the log files (until I delete the index files) I *think* the trigger to get into this situation might be a files being delivered with incorrect S= values in the filename? Which is to say I am using maildrop to deliver messages and occasionally maildrop seems to write files with incorrect S= names (anyone know why or how to fix it?). The error logged regarding incorrect S= values is obviously completely different, but I speculate that it could be the earlier cause that gets the index file out of shape as shown in the problem here Thanks for any help? (note it's not easy to remove maildrop at present) Ed W Sep 1 07:32:51 mail1 dovecot: imap(xxxxxxx(a)mailasail.com): Panic: file mail-index-transaction-export.c: line 203 (log_append_ext_hdr_update): assertion failed: (u32.offset + u32.size <= ext_hdr_size) Sep 1 07:32:51 mail1 dovecot: imap(xxxxxxx(a)mailasail.com): Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x69a9e) [0xedee5a9e] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x69b21) [0xedee5b21] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_fatal+0) [0xede97a69] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_index_transaction_export+0xa36) [0xedfff706] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(+0xa9f50) [0xedffdf50] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_index_transaction_commit_full+0xc4) [0xedffe454] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_index_transaction_commit+0x23) [0xedffe513] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_index_sync_commit+0xef) [0xee0078ef] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(+0x52e05) [0xedfa6e05] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(+0x52040) [0xedfa6040] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(+0x5251a) [0xedfa651a] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(maildir_storage_sync_init+0xf4) [0xedfa68d4] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mailbox_sync_init+0x3b) [0xedfb786b] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mailbox_sync+0x3f) [0xedfb79af] -> dovecot/imap [xxxxxxx(a)mailasail.com 80.189.197.148 SELECT](cmd_select_full+0x187) [0x80594d7] -> dovecot/imap [xxxxxxx(a)mailasail.com 80.189.197.148 SELECT](cmd_select+0x17) [0x8059f37] -> dovecot/imap [xxxxxxx(a)mailasail.com 80.189.197.148 SELECT](command_exec+0x32) [0x805f1a2] -> dovecot/imap [xxxxxxx(a)mailasail.com 80.189.197.148 SELECT]() [0x805e197] -> dovecot/imap [xxxxxxx(a)mailasail.com 80.189.197.148 SELECT]() [0x805e2d9] -> dovecot/imap [xxxxxxx(a)mailasail.com 80.189.197.148 SELECT](client_handle_input+0x115) [0x805e515] -> dovecot/imap [xxxxxxx(a)mailasail.com 80.189.197.148 SELECT](client_input+0x72) [0x805e8c2] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_call_io+0x59) [0xedef8e89] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run_internal+0xee) [0xedefa05e] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0x1c) [0xedef8f1c] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x48) [0xedef8fa8] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(master_service_run+0x2e) [0xede9d76e] -> dovecot/imap [xxxxxxx(a)mailasail.com 80.189.197.148 SELECT](main+0x2bd) [0x80520ed] -> /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf5) [0xedce9f25] Sep 1 07:32:51 mail1 dovecot: imap(xxxxxxx(a)mailasail.com): Fatal: master: service(imap): child 31315 killed with signal 6 (core dumps disabled)

lmtp memory usage problem - Fatal: pool_system_realloc(268435456): Out of memory
by Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz 05 Sep '14

05 Sep '14

Hi. In my setup exim delivers mails to dovecot using LMTP. In one LMTP session exim can deliver up to 200 recipients (batch_max set to that value). Now the problem is that sometimes 256MB is not enoug for dovecot lmtp to handle incoming emails. My questions: - how big memory limit should be for lmtp? I was thinking that lmtp (more or less) simply reads from one descriptor and writes to file, then does rename() (maildir used here) and that's all. That shouldn't require big number of memory. So how to determine correct memory limit and what affects this limit? - is number of recipients in one LMTP session important here? Not sure, maybe dovecot stores email in memory first and then writes to the user maildirs? Setting (batch) limit to 1 could reduce memory usage then (since no need to store anything in memory) ? Thanks, Log: Sep 4 16:10:30 mail dovecot: lmtp(21383, user): Fatal: pool_system_realloc(268435456): Out of memory Sep 4 16:10:30 mail dovecot: lmtp(21383, user): Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x682a0) [0x7fe327e632a0] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libd ovecot.so.0(+0x6837e) [0x7fe327e6337e] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_error+0) [0x7fe327e1dbf8] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x7d6a3) [0x7fe327e786a3] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_stream_grow_buffer+0x8f) [0x7fe327e6c4cf] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_stream_try_alloc+0x82) [0x7fe327e6c592] -> /usr/lib6 4/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x73b9b) [0x7fe327e6eb9b] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x73c36) [0x7fe327e6ec36] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_stream_read+0x 53) [0x7fe327e6bad3] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x77391) [0x7fe327e72391] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_stream_read+0x53) [0x7fe327e6bad3] -> /usr/lib 64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_stream_read_data+0x3d) [0x7fe327e6c2fd] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_stream_copy+0x7f) [0x7fe327e7cacf] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdo vecot.so.0(+0x83310) [0x7fe327e7e310] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(o_stream_send_istream+0x4d) [0x7fe327e7c92d] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(maild ir_save_continue+0x5a) [0x7fe32811b14a] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_storage_copy+0x88) [0x7fe328145328] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0 (maildir_copy+0x42) [0x7fe3281179c2] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/plugins/lib10_quota_plugin.so(+0xb52b) [0x7fe32764352b] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mailbox_cop y+0x6d) [0x7fe32814d29d] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-lda.so.0(mail_deliver_save+0x185) [0x7fe3283f1765] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-lda.so.0(mail_deliver+0xeb) [0 x7fe3283f1b6b] -> dovecot/lmtp() [0x405d80] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_call_io+0x3f) [0x7fe327e7398f] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handl er_run_internal+0xd7) [0x7fe327e74897] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0x9) [0x7fe327e739f9] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x3 8) [0x7fe327e73a78] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(master_service_run+0x13) [0x7fe327e22ca3] Sep 4 16:10:30 mail dovecot: lmtp(21383, user): Fatal: master: service(lmtp): child 21383 returned error 83 (Out of memory (service lmtp { vsz_limit=256 MB }, you may need to increase it) - set CORE_OUTOFMEM=1 environment to get core dump) -- Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz, arekm / maven.pl

stemmer or no-stemmer..
by Akash 05 Sep '14

05 Sep '14

Hi, In the documentation of FTS lucene, I need little more clarification about this section: -------------------------------------------------- --with-lucene --with-stemmer The second switch is only required if you have compiled libstemmer yourself or if it's included in the CLucene you are using. -------------------------------------------------- I am totally unsure but as I understand, on Debian testing, the stemmer support for libclucene comes as part of libclucene-contribs1 package (which isn't a required dependency and doesn't get installed if I install dovecot from repos). Please correct me if I am wrong. When I install dovecot-lucene from repos, libclucene-core1 and libstemmer install with it (but no libclucene-contribs1). Does that mean dovecot search has stemmer support? Now I am compiling dovecot and libclucene for Debian stable (which doesn't have latest libs in repos). If I don't compile the contribs part in clucene package but compile dovecot with --with-stemmer, do I get the stemmer support? If I totally opt of this stemmer thing, do I lose anything on search performance? And when you have a no_snowball option, what is the need of libstemmer altogether? Please help me through these confusions.. -Regards, Akash

Migrating from 2.0.x to 2.2
by Jens Dueholm Christensen 05 Sep '14

05 Sep '14

Hi I'm about to migrate a setup with <20 IMAP (but with a few million mails in all) accounts that belong to the same system-user on an older machine running Dovecot 2.0.13 to a new machine running Dovecot 2.2.13 (or possibly newer..). Mails are stored in Maildirs with no special or advanced features (like alternate storage etc etc). Filesystems are prepared for the expected amount of inodes required, and for the time beeing a change to mdbox is seen as an added complexity. One requirement of the migration is that messageID is not changed - mails are referenced by other systems that expect to find individual mails by the ID. Since dsync is incompatible between 2.0<->2.1<->2.2 what is the best way to perform this migration? I was hoping of rsync'ing all Maildirs from the old machine to the new one (including indexes etc etc) and power up Dovecot 2.2.x and see what happens, but is that possible or is there another (and better) way short of installing 2.0.x on the new machine, rsync everything and then upgrade to 2.2.x? Regards, Jens Dueholm Christensen

Hi, I want to profile runtime performance of imap and pop3 processes. There processes are forked by dovecot master process. I am wondering if there is a way I can profile these processes with valgrind. I tried "service = /bin/valgrind /bin/imap" but this did not work. Thanks,

Trying Dovecot Replication with dsync
by Listas＠Adminlinux 04 Sep '14

04 Sep '14

Hi, I have a failover cluster for mail server with: Ubuntu12.04 + DRBD (for block replication) + Ext4 filesystem + Dovecot-2.0.19-2 with Mdbox It works fine with ~50k accounts. My cluster design: http://adminlinux.com.br/cluster_design.txt I plan to test Dovecot Replication with dsync to build an active/active cluster with load balancing. Can anyone direct me to some literature? A tutorial for example. I'm installing a cluster (for tests) with Ubuntu 14.04 + Ext4 filesystem (without Drbd) + Dovecot-2.2.9-1ubuntu2.1. My conf is in: http://adminlinux.com.br/replication-doveconf.txt I'm following this doc http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Replication but I'm getting some errors: 1) Aug 14 15:39:34 ceph1 dovecot: imap(account=domaintest.com): Error: open(/var/run/dovecot/replication-notify-fifo) failed: Permission denied What is the correct perms for /var/run/dovecot/replication-notify-fifo ?

Insert custom header in Mail logger plugin
by Bruno Galindro da Costa 03 Sep '14

03 Sep '14

Is it possible to log a message custom header through Mail logger plugin or other method? It seems that there are a fixed number of info that is configurable via mail_log_fields (http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/MailLog) .. My custom header is X-VERTICAL-IP-Quarantine-ID and I want a log event like this one: Aug 27 09:48:13 imap dovecot: imap(user@domain): copy from INBOX: box=SPAM, uid=213, *X-VERTICAL-IP-Quarantine-ID=u7cnUqYDPA9a*, msgid=< 0.0.D7.290.1CFC155CE887302.0(a)etm2.com>, size=26481, vsize=26949, from==?UTF-8?Q?Dafiti=20-=20Parceiros?= <aaa@domain>, subject==?UTF-8?Q?Sapatos=20com=2040%OFF?==?UTF-8?Q?!=20Apro?=? =?UTF-8?Q?veite!?= -- Att.

Setup sieve failed
by Christian Vielhauer 03 Sep '14

03 Sep '14

Hi, I try to setup sieve but I have some trouble. Using dovecot 2.2.9 on Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS. I replaced my correct domain with „domain.tld“. I am able to create sieve scripts using SOGo. The scripts are created in my mailbox. For example in /var/www/kunden/mail/domain.tld/testuser/sieve/sogo.sieve I have the following script and in same ~/sieve folder is a subdirectory available that’s called "tmp“: ~/sieve ~/sieve/tmp require ["vacation"]; if allof ( not exists ["list-help", "list-unsubscribe", "list-subscribe", "list-owner", "list-post", "list-archive", "list-id", "Mailing-List"], not header :comparator "i;ascii-casemap" :is "Precedence" ["list", "bulk", "junk"], not header :comparator "i;ascii-casemap" :matches "To" "Multiple recipients of*" ) {vacation :days 1 :addresses [„testuser(a)domain.tld"] text: This is a vacation test message. Please ignore. . ; } Now I open /var/log/mail.err and I can see the following: Sep 3 17:50:09 mail dovecot: imap(testuser(a)domain.tld): Error: stat(/var/www/kunden/mail/domain.tld/testuser/.dovecot.sieve/tmp) failed: Not a directory I try to create ~/.dovecot.sieve folder, but this file exists and is a symlink. 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 vmail vmail 16 Sep 3 18:14 .dovecot.sieve -> sieve/sogo.sieve I think I have some miss configuration because i don’t receive any vacation reply when I send mail to my testuser. In log files i cannot see any entries according to my sieve script.

quota for subfolder with prefix=INBOX.
by Jogi Hofmüller 03 Sep '14

03 Sep '14

Hi all, We use prefix=INBOX. in order to keep things as they were on the old server. Now I started playing with quota and have trouble getting the additional quota for Trash and/or Junk working. My expectation was that once a user is over quota and moves email to trash sh/e should be able to receive new email again. That's what I cannot get to work with our setup. Attached you find the config that I thought should be working. The numbers are ridiculously low but that's just for testing. Here is some output from doveadm doveadm quota get -u user Quota name Type Value Limit % User quota STORAGE 5422 5120 105 User quota MESSAGE 18 - 0 doveadm mailbox status -u user "messages vsize" "*" INBOX messages=13 vsize=3147033 doveadm mailbox status -u user "messages vsize" "INBOX.*" INBOX.Drafts messages=0 vsize=0 INBOX.Sent messages=0 vsize=0 INBOX.Trash messages=5 vsize=2475790 INBOX.Junk messages=0 vsize=0 Regards, -- j.hofmüller We are all idiots with deadlines. - Mike West

Dovecot is looking for .dovecot.lda-dupes in the wrong place

Hi, I just moved the dovecot maildir location for all virtual users to another location. I moved everything from /var/mail/vhosts/%d/%n to /var/vmail/%d/%n/maildir Everything seem to be fine except of one recurring error: Sep 2 10:16:09 mx0 dovecot: lmtp(13226, sv_bogies(a)neurohr.at) Error: file_dotlock_open(/var/mail/vhosts/domain.at/michael/.dovecot.lda-dupes) failed: No such file or directory Sep 2 13:31:27 mx0 dovecot: lmtp(16248, sv_bogies(a)neurohr.at) Error: file_dotlock_open(/var/mail/vhosts/domain.at/michael/.dovecot.lda-dupes) failed: No such file or directory So Dovecot is looking in the old path.

Trouble viewing Inbox via IMAP Client
by Peter Cook 02 Sep '14

02 Sep '14

Hello, I have been having trouble with this issue for quite some time now. Here is my environment: CentOS 6.5, Postfix built with PGSQL support, PFA, and dovecot. The problem I am having is that I can send and receive mail fine, but when I try to view my Inbox in an IMAP client like Thunderbird, I can only view sent mail and trash. Here is the result of my dovecot -- version and dovecot -n --version 2.0.9 dovecot -n # 2.0.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64 x86_64 CentOS release 6.5 (Final) ext4 auth_debug = yes auth_debug_passwords = yes disable_plaintext_auth = no mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/vmail/%d/%n/ mbox_write_locks = fcntl passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf driver = sql } passdb { driver = pam } protocols = imap pop3 service auth { group = postfix unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } user = postfix } ssl_cert = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf driver = sql } userdb { driver = passwd }

dsync-server couldn't create .dovecot-sync.lock file
by Listas＠Adminlinux 02 Sep '14

02 Sep '14

My dovecot stores users' emails on /var/spool/imap/<user> and stores the messages index on /var/lib/imap/<user>. I have many users who do not yet have their userdb_home directories created on the server, because that is created at the time of first login. I'm testing dsync for replication and have seen the following error: dsync-server(<user>): Error: Couldn't create lock /var/lib/imap/<user>/.dovecot-sync.lock: No such file or directory The /var/lib/imap/<user> directory does not exist yet and I think this is the cause.

mail_location hashing & lowercasing?
by Ralf Hildebrandt 31 Aug '14

31 Aug '14

Currently, I'm using mail_location = mdbox:/var/spool/mail/%Ld/%Ln/mdbox Now I want to add a partitioning (so I don'T have all directories in one single directory), but can't find the right syntax: mail_location = mdbox:/var/spool/mail/%Ld/<HASHING HERE>/%Ln/mdbox It seems like I'd need to use %N (new hash) on %Ln and then take a substring of that. %2NLn 2 Characters of the %N hash of %Ln (the lowercase username) But this gives me a verbatim "Ln" on the path! -- [*] sys4 AG http://sys4.de, +49 (89) 30 90 46 64 Franziskanerstraße 15, 81669 München Sitz der Gesellschaft: München, Amtsgericht München: HRB 199263 Vorstand: Patrick Ben Koetter, Marc Schiffbauer Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender: Florian Kirstein
