[Dovecot] Problem with managesieve proxy
by Lance A. Brown 22 Feb '13

22 Feb '13

Hi folks, I'm setting up a new dovecot email service and have a proxy server running in front of it to facilitate migrating users from my very old UW-IMAP-based mail server to the new one. I have a mysql proxy table that directs inbound IMAP and LMTP connections to the correct server, works great. Managesieve connections are not working through the proxy using either with the sieverules plugin for RoundCube or the Sieve plugin for Thunderbird. If I point them directly at the actual dovecot server everything works fine, so I must have something wrong in my proxy setup. This is what I get in the maillogs when I try to connect to the managesieve proxy: PROXY machine: Feb 21 16:16:38 sortie dovecot: managesieve-login: Error: proxy: Remote x.y.z.110:4190 disconnected: Connection closed (state=0, duration=0s): user=<brown>, method=PLAIN, rip=x.y.z.83, lip=x.y.z.109, TLS, session=<0jUal0LWswCYAxZT> Feb 21 16:16:38 sortie dovecot: managesieve-login: Disconnected (internal failure, 1 succesful auths): user=<brown>, method=PLAIN, rip=x.y.z.83, lip=x.y.z.109, TLS, session=<0jUal0LWswCYAxZT> SERVER machine: Feb 21 16:16:38 postie dovecot: managesieve-login: Disconnected: Too many invalid commands.

The server supports these methods: , but we want to use: PLAIN (): [20-Feb-2013 23:02:27] Not currently in AUTHORISATION state (1): I am using Pigeonhole 0.3.3 on both proxy and server. Dovecot configurations for the proxy and server are attached below. Here are the SQL files referenced in the proxy configs. Long lines broke for readability. /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = mysql connect = host=localhost dbname=dovecot user=dovecot password=XXX password_query = SELECT NULL AS password, 'any-cert' as 'ssl', \ 'Y' as nopassword, host, user as destuser, \ 'Y' AS proxy \ FROM proxy WHERE user = '%u' /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql-lmtp.conf.ext driver = mysql connect = host=localhost dbname=dovecot user=dovecot password=XXX password_query = SELECT NULL AS password, 'any-cert' as 'ssl', \ 'Y' as nopassword, host, user as destuser, 'Y' AS proxy \ FROM proxy WHERE user = '%n' The proxy DB table looks like this: - -- Table structure for table `proxy` -- CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `proxy` ( `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `user` varchar(255) NOT NULL, `email` varchar(64) NOT NULL, `host` varchar(16) DEFAULT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`id`), UNIQUE KEY `user_index` (`user`) ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=379 ; -- -- Dumping data for table `proxy` -- INSERT INTO `proxy` (`id`, `user`, `email`, `host`) VALUES (1, 'brown', '', 'x.y.z.110'), (2, 'fizgig', '', 'x.r.z.15'), 110 is the new dovecot IMAP server, 15 is the old UW-IMAP server. Any advice on getting managesieve proxy running would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, --[Lance] -- GPG Fingerprint: 409B A409 A38D 92BF 15D9 6EEE 9A82 F2AC 69AC 07B9 CACert.org Assurer

[Dovecot] Dovecot list archives not updating
by Mark Sapiro 22 Feb '13

22 Feb '13

The February archive indexes of this list haven't been updating since Feb 8. The text file at <http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2013-February.txt> appears to be up to date with all posts, but the index pages at <http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2013-February/thread.html>, <http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2013-February/subject.html>, <http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2013-February/author.html> and <http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2013-February/date.html> have no posts after the one at <http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2013-February/071213.html> from Fri Feb 8 16:31:49 EET 2013. Subsequent posts appear to not have individual HTML pages either as URLs <http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2013-February/071214.html> and <http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2013-February/071215.html> return 404 errors. I suspect there is a permissions issue starting soon after Fri Feb 8 16:31:49 EET 2013 and that Mailman's error log has lots of tracebacks from this. If that is the case, the messages were probably all shunted and running Mailman's bin/unshunt after fixing the underlying issue and also making sure that any messages older than Fri Feb 8 16:31:49 EET 2013 in Mailman's 'shunt' queue that should not also be reprocessed are removed. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

[Dovecot] Public folders and dsync replication Dovecot v2.1.7
by Steve Brown 21 Feb '13

21 Feb '13

Dear all I have a few public folders setup and working fine, and one such public folder is 'Public/General'. I'm trying to sort dsync replication out to another server and notice that the system log is full of error messages similar to: dovecot: doveadm: Error: dsync-remote(username: Error: Can't update subscription Pu blic/General: Invalid mailbox name The replication setup is basically as per the v2 wiki. It seems that when a mail client subscribes to a public folder, the folder name is put into '~/Maildir/subscriptions' and this seems to be the cause of the error during replication. The mails are not synchronised to the other server. Public namespace is: namespace { type = public separator = / prefix = Public/ location = maildir:/home/shared/public subscriptions = no list = yes } Hopefully somebody can send the clue bus over?

[Dovecot] Dovecot LDA LDAP lookups on samba4 server ends very often in timeouts
by marco＠carcano.ch 20 Feb '13

20 Feb '13

I hope that someone will be so kind to help me into solving this really strange thing (don't know if it is a bug or not) I have a samba4 server and want to use postfix+dovecot - dovecot version is 2.0.11 as for the postfix side everything is OK (all the LDAP lookups works without any error, tested also manually with postmap -q) the real pain is with dovecot deliver: it seems that sometimes lda tries to lookup to the LDPA (samba 4) server, got a reply, an then report(after 2 minutes) a lookup timeout error the really strange thing is that (very seldom) lda works, but most of the times I got the timeout error. The strange thing is that if I use ldapsearch I never got timeout neither late replies, and even postfix performs its lookups without any issue it seems something related to lda itself (I do not know if I have a wrong configuration, but I think this is not a configuration issue, otherwise it should not work at all) here are the information logged when it does not work - after this log you will find the one when I got the failure (if needed I can provide a .pcap file too) (trailing and leading spaces of AT charcater has been added by me) ############################## FAULTY DELIVER LOG

[Dovecot] Changin password in LDAP
by Arto Saraniva 20 Feb '13

20 Feb '13

We are using now dovecot 2.0.21 with open-ldap, but this situations has already taken a quite long time. When user changes the password, we have to reload dovecot every time, otherwise the change is ignored and dovecot sees only the old password. Any ideas where the problem might exist?

[Dovecot] 1.x with mbox files to 2.x with mdbox, I think?
by Ken A 20 Feb '13

20 Feb '13

Hi, I have a couple questions about migrating from 1.x to 2.x I'm needing to support larger mailbox sizes and mdbox seems like the right format to use to get larger size boxes and maintain, or possibly even increase speed. Is that correct? Am I correct that the best way to accomplish this migration is to copy the mboxes over to the new server and then use dsync to convert them to mdbox? Thanks for your thoughts!

[Dovecot] Dovecot-2.1.14 - pop3 processes always hangs forever - another follow-up
by Axel Luttgens 19 Feb '13

19 Feb '13

Hello, With the same basic configs as in my previous messages, I tried with the maildir format instead of the mbox format. That is, in both cases ("virtual" uids/gids vs a single "real" uid/gid), doveconf -n shows: mail_location = maildir:~/maildir instead of: mail_location = mbox:~/mboxes:INBOX=~/mboxes/inbox Here too, with "virtual" uids/gids, connections thru pop hang forever, while imap connections behave flawlessly. And with a single "real" uid/gid, connections thru both pop and imap behave as expected. As a result, it could be inferred that the problems I am encountering with pop connections do not depend on the mailbox format in use, and that they are entirely related to "virtual" uids/gids. To recap: with this very basic config # 2.1.14: /_ETC/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Darwin 12.2.1 x86_64 auth_verbose = yes disable_plaintext_auth = no mail_debug = yes mail_location = mbox:~/mboxes:INBOX=~/mboxes/inbox passdb { args = /_ETC/dovecot/db.conf driver = sql } ssl = no userdb { driver = prefetch } a pop connection hangs forever after the pass command $ telnet 127.0.0.1 110 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. +OK Dovecot ready. user user2 +OK pass pass2 and the log shows (here, when the user connects for the first time) dovecot[2997]: pop3-login: Login: user=<user2>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, mpid=3113, secured, session=<GTOlMjfV3gB/AAAB> dovecot[2997]: pop3(user2): Debug: Effective uid=100003, gid=100003, home=/_Data/Mailstores/100003 dovecot[2997]: pop3(user2): Debug: Home dir not found: /_Data/Mailstores/100003 dovecot[2997]: pop3(user2): Debug: fs: root=/_Data/Mailstores/100003/mboxes, index=, control=, inbox=/_Data/Mailstores/100003/mboxes/inbox, alt= dovecot[2997]: pop3(user2): Debug: Namespace : /_Data/Mailstores/100003/mboxes doesn't exist yet, using default permissions dovecot[2997]: pop3(user2): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions from /_Data/Mailstores/100003/mboxes: mode=0700 gid=-1 dovecot[2997]: pop3(user2): Debug: Namespace : /_Data/Mailstores/100003/mboxes/inbox doesn't exist yet, using default permissions dovecot[2997]: pop3(user2): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions from /_Data/Mailstores/100003/mboxes: mode=0700 gid=-1 dovecot[2997]: pop3(user2): Debug: Namespace : /_Data/Mailstores/100003/mboxes/inbox doesn't exist yet, using default permissions dovecot[2997]: pop3(user2): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions from /_Data/Mailstores/100003/mboxes: mode=0700 gid=-1 With exactly the same config, imap connections are fully functional. Does someone have an explanation? TIA, Axel

[Dovecot] Defer emails until the user is ready to deal with them (snooze button / bring-forward file / bring-up file for emails)
by Chris Laif 19 Feb '13

19 Feb '13

Hi, I would like to add a feature to my email-client (Thunderbird) which stops emails from showing up until a specific time (e.g. having buttons for: show again this evening, tomorrow, next week, next month ...). As far as I've learned this is not possible with IMAP: - storing the 'do-not-show-until-time' within a custom header-field requires down- and uploading of the whole email and therefore causes problems especially with large emails - IMAP keywords are limited are limited in quantity and can not be compared with datetime functions Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated! Chris

[Dovecot] Get rid of inotify in 2.1.15
by Martin Rabl 19 Feb '13

19 Feb '13

Hi, after update to Dovecot 2.1.5 (Ubuntu 12.04, dovecot from https://launchpad.net/~kokelnet/+archive/dovecot21) we are getting a huge ;-) bunch of log entries about " imap(USERNAME): Warning: Inotify instance limit for user 5000 (UID vmail)". At last I did an echo 512 > /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_instances but the logentries did appear again after some minutes. Maybe you have a hint for me? Thank you!

[Dovecot] statistics on proxy ???
by Marco Giunta 19 Feb '13

19 Feb '13

Hi at all, could I have imap statistics on my dovecot proxy server ?? Here my config: # 2.1.13: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf ... mail_plugins = stats ... plugin { ... stats_refresh = 30 secs stats_track_cmds = yes } ... service stats { fifo_listener stats-mail { mode = 0666 } } ... protocol imap { ... mail_plugins = stats imap_stats } File '/var/run/dovecot/stats' is always 0 byte: # ls -la /var/run/dovecot/stats srw-------. 1 root root 0 Feb 18 14:24 /var/run/dovecot/stats and 'dovecotadm' say always: # doveadm stats dump session doveadm(root): Info: no statistics available Is there something wrong in my config, or stats are not available on proxy ??? Cheers, Marco

[Dovecot] Private message flags in shared mailboxes
by Timo Sirainen 19 Feb '13

19 Feb '13

I'm wondering a bit how these should work. Comments welcome. In v2.2 the recommended way to enable private flags for shared mailboxes is to create private indexes with :INDEXPVT=<path>. This creates dovecot.index.pvt[.log] files which only contain message UIDs and flags. The indexes are updated somewhat lazily by updating them whenever user has the shared mailbox opened and it gets synced. 1. What would be a good place to configure which flags are shared and which are private? Currently it forces \Seen flag to be private and others not. With Maildir I used to have the idea of configuring these in dovecot-shared file, but that's a rather annoying extra file. Then again it could be cached into dovecot.index. Another possibility would be in dovecot-acl file, but public mailboxes might be enabled without ACL plugin. Mailbox attributes (for URLAUTH and for future METADATA) also exist in v2.2, but they require configuring a dict for them, which isn't very efficient either to read every time a mailbox is accessed. Mailbox's admin user should be able to do this somehow via IMAP protocol also. METADATA would pretty much be required for that I guess. 2. Private flags aren't currently inherited from the primary (shared) flags. With user-shared mailboxes this is good, because the owner doesn't have private indexes for the mailboxes, so when owner reads a mail it gets a \Seen flag in the primary index. If that mailbox was shared to someone else, the \Seen flag shouldn't be set. But this also means that for truly shared (public) mailboxes that have no owner you can't set initial flags with Sieve's addflag command (e.g. \Seen flag to high-scored mails in Spam). I guess it could be possible to change this so that the inheritance is done for public namespaces but not for shared namespaces, but is that really a good idea either?.. 3. Currently COPY/APPEND ignore any private flags (which also means dsync won't set them always). Fixing this would require remembering these flags, committing the save to primary index, syncing the private index to get the new mails added there, then updating their flags (or doing it directly at sync stage with some kludging code). To avoid race conditions the private index would need to be locked before committing the save. I guess this is doable.. 4. Private keywords aren't supported. I guess not much worse than system flags, but more code complexity. Wonder if anyone would care about them.

[Dovecot] Requested xxxx scheme, but we have a NULL password after upgrade
by PhilQ 15 Feb '13

15 Feb '13

I'm having an issue I can't seem to work around after upgrading from Dovecot 1.0.7 to 1.2.17. After getting Dovecot 1.07 working on CentOS 5.9, I decided that it might be wise to upgrade to a later version, so I stuck with 1.x and went with 1.2.17, which I had to compile from source. CentOS was originally using /etc as the starting path for Dovecot files but the source distribution puts most of the stuff under /usr/local/etc. After the usual config>make>make install dance I made the necessary changes to point to the new libraries, modules, etc. and the "imap-login: Fatal: Dovecot version mismatch: Master is v1.2.17, login is v1.0.7...." messages went away. After doing this though I cannot login, I get the following error messages: Feb 13 15:50:40 auth(default): Info: client in: AUTH 7 NTLM service=imap lip=192.168.2.102 rip=192.168.2.100 lport=143 rport=1470 Feb 13 15:50:40 auth(default): Info: client out: CONT 7 Feb 13 15:50:40 auth(default): Info: client in: CONT 7 TlRMTVNTUAABAAAAB4IIogAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAFASgKAAAADw== Feb 13 15:50:40 auth(default): Info: client out: CONT 7 TlRMTVNTUAACAAAAMAAwADAAAAAFAooATj7XW6ve2hwAAAAAAAAAADgAOABgAAAAUwBlAHIAdgBlAHIAMQAuAGgAZQByAHMAYwBoAGwAYQB1AHIAZQBuAC4AYwBvAG0AAwAwAFMAZQByAHYAZQByADEALgBoAGUAcgBzAGMAaABsAGEAdQByAGUAbgAuAGMAbwBtAAAAAAA= Feb 13 15:50:40 auth(default): Info: client in: CONT 7 TlRMTVNTUAADAAAAGAAYAGoAAABoAGgAggAAAAAAAABIAAAAEAAQAEgAAAASABIAWAAAAAAAAADqAAAABQKIAgUBKAoAAAAP*CENSORED*bgBiAFEAUwBFAC0AVwBJAE4AWABQAEXO6p/WuopqQ02x1kzJGW3NoQELKw32N88JqkbMOYOVErhiS492elwBAQAAAAAAA*CENSORED*ysN9jcAAAAAAwAwAFMAZQByAHYAZQByADEALgBoAGUAcgBzAGMAaABsAGEAdQByAGUAbgAuAGMAbwBtAAAAAAAAAAAA Feb 13 15:50:40 auth(default): Info: cache(pquesinb,192.168.2.100): miss Feb 13 15:50:40 auth(default): Info: passwd-file(pquesinb,192.168.2.100): lookup: user=pquesinb file=/etc/dovecot.users Feb 13 15:50:40 auth(default): Info: password(pquesinb,192.168.2.100): Requested NTLM scheme, but we have a NULL password Feb 13 15:50:40 auth(default): Info: cache(pquesinb,192.168.2.100): miss Feb 13 15:50:40 auth(default): Info: password(pquesinb,192.168.2.100): passdb doesn't support credential lookups Feb 13 15:50:40 auth(default): Info: cache(pquesinb,192.168.2.100): miss Feb 13 15:50:40 auth(default): Info: password(pquesinb,192.168.2.100): passdb doesn't support credential lookups Feb 13 15:50:40 auth(default): Info: cache(pquesinb,192.168.2.100): miss Feb 13 15:50:40 auth(default): Info: password(pquesinb,192.168.2.100): passdb doesn't support credential lookups Feb 13 15:50:40 auth(default): Info: cache(pquesinb,192.168.2.100): miss Feb 13 15:50:40 auth(default): Info: password(pquesinb,192.168.2.100): passdb doesn't support credential lookups Feb 13 15:50:42 auth(default): Info: client out: FAIL 7 user=pquesinb Looking at the log from the old version while it was working, I was getting messages like the following: dovecot: Feb 04 14:14:21 Info: imap-login: Login: user=<pquesinb>, method=NTLM, rip=192.168.2.100, lip=192.168.2.102 dovecot: Feb 04 14:14:21 Info: imap-login: Login: user=<pquesinb>, method=NTLM, rip=192.168.2.100, lip=192.168.2.102 dovecot: Feb 04 14:15:03 Info: IMAP(pquesinb): Disconnected: Logged out dovecot: Feb 04 14:15:03 Info: IMAP(pquesinb): Disconnected: Logged out dovecot: Feb 04 14:15:23 Info: imap-login: Login: user=<pquesinb>, method=NTLM, rip=192.168.2.100, lip=192.168.2.102 dovecot: Feb 04 14:15:23 Info: imap-login: Login: user=<pquesinb>, method=NTLM, rip=192.168.2.100, lip=192.168.2.102 dovecot: Feb 04 14:16:05 Info: IMAP(pquesinb): Disconnected: Logged out dovecot: Feb 04 14:16:05 Info: IMAP(pquesinb): Disconnected: Logged out /etc/dovecot.users contains a list of usernames. Is this error the result of additional security which has been incorporated into the later version of Dovecot, or is it because my installation of the later version from source is broken, somehow incompatible, etc? Dovecot was configured to use PAM and it appeared to know the password of my account, failing when it was entered incorrectly so I'm assuming that it was successfully using PAM. I kept the same syntax in the later config file. >From dovecot.conf: passdb pam { # [session=yes] [setcred=yes] [failure_show_msg=yes] [max_requests=<n>] # [cache_key=<key>] [<service name>] # # session=yes makes Dovecot open and immediately close PAM session. Some # PAM plugins need this to work, such as pam_mkhomedir. # # setcred=yes makes Dovecot establish PAM credentials if some PAM plugins # need that. They aren't ever deleted though, so this isn't enabled by # default. # # max_requests specifies how many PAM lookups to do in one process before # recreating the process. The default is 100, because many PAM plugins # leak memory. # # cache_key can be used to enable authentication caching for PAM # (auth_cache_size also needs to be set). It isn't enabled by default # because PAM modules can do all kinds of checks besides checking password, # such as checking IP address. Dovecot can't know about these checks # without some help. cache_key is simply a list of variables (see # doc/wiki/Variables.txt) which must match for the cached data to be used. # Here are some examples: # %u - Username must match. Probably sufficient for most uses. # %u%r - Username and remote IP address must match. # %u%s - Username and service (ie.

Re: [Dovecot] Authentication with many Windows AD

Hi, > You can set as many databases as you want. Check this: > > http://wiki2.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase > http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/MultipleDatabases This solution is valid if I have only one domain. In case you have more than one domain, you need authenticate in the appropriate LDAP server. Is That correct? I'm going to explain my particular case. I have five Windows domains with some users who belong to those domains. I also have other users who are authenticated with local UNIX accounts. The only thing that I can do (I think) is using a Radius server. But, I'd rather not use it.

[Dovecot] Authentication with many Windows AD
by Antonio Alberola 14 Feb '13

14 Feb '13

Dear All, I'm a new user of Dovecot and I need support with the authentication process. I use Dovecot 2.0.9 and Postfix 2.6.6 on host x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu 2.6.32-279.14.1.el6.x86_64 CentOS release 6.3 (Final) I need to select the validation method depending on the user. I have users that have to be authenticate with UNIX account, and I have others thats have to be authenticate with Windows AD. For example, some sysadmins and special accounts needs validate with Unix accounts. Other normal users have to authenticate with Windows AD, I have many Windows controllers. Some users authenticate to a specific Windows AD and other users are validated in another one. How I can do this? Thank you very much. Antonio Alberola

[Dovecot] FreeBSD, Dovecot and ZFS
by Jason Lock 13 Feb '13

13 Feb '13

Mail Issues - FreeBSD Hello, my apologies if this may be the wrong forum but hoping that maybe someone might be able to provide some insight. Have a very sporadic and strange issue with our mail servers running Dovecot on FreeBSD. There are three servers hosting Dovecot with FreeBSD as the underlying operating system. All three connect to a NAS server, again running FreeBSD and ZFS. When the specific issue occurs, clients connecting to check mail via POP3 or IMAP experience long delays and timeouts. To the point where POP3 Logins fail due to the timeouts. The issue is further compounded by clients increasing the number of attempts to check mail. Part of the frustration in attempting to diagnose the issue is not knowing the root cause or symptom that initates the issue. Wondering if anyone has experienced anything similar, or suggestions on ways to help identify the root cause

[Dovecot] backing up maildir dovecot files
by David Mehler 13 Feb '13

13 Feb '13

Hello, I'm having to migrate servers. Both are dovecot2 systems. I'm wanting to copy over my mail store from one system to the other. I'd like to preserve dates/times of emails. These are maildir setups on both boxes, I'd like to be as transparent to the end user as possible. I currently have the first dovecot system offline and the second dovecot system is offline. Recommendations? Thanks. Dave.

[Dovecot] dsync 2.1.10 does not correctly handle renames of mailbox subtrees
by Karol Jurak 13 Feb '13

13 Feb '13

Hi, It seems that dsync 2.1.10 does not correctly handle renames of mailbox subtrees. The scenario is as follows. There are two servers, A and B, both running dovecot 2.1.10 and configured to use mdbox. Automatic replication between them is disabled, ie. replication plugin is not active and replicator service has process_min_avail = 0. I perform the following actions: 1. On A: doveadm mailbox create -u test_user a a/b a/b/c d 2. On A: doveadm sync -u test_user -d The result is as expected: on both A and B there are a/b/c and d mailboxes. Now I connect to A via IMAP and rename a/b to d/b. The result is as expected: on A there are a and d/b/c mailboxes. Next I execute on A 'doveadm sync -u mailstoragetest -d' and now the result is not as expected: there are a/b/c and d/b subtrees on both A and B and a/b is just a directory, ie. it does not contain dbox-Mails (the rest are proper mailboxes). dovecot.mailbox.logs have the following records appended to them: A: #2112: rename 33259783092361d18c60ba1c7cfe973c (2013-02-12 10:42:55) - this probably is the rename of a/b to d/b (recursive, ie. including children - in this case a/b/c => d/b/c) by the IMAP client #2136: rename ee2be6da91ae879476b152d7ca041f1b (1970-01-01 01:00:00) - rename of d/b/c to a/b/c by dsync (unexpected/incorrect) B: #1104: rename 33259783092361d18c60ba1c7cfe973c (1970-01-01 01:00:00) - rename of a/b to d/b (non recursive) by dsync What seems to be missing is the record in A's dovecot.mailbox.log describing the rename of a/b/c to d/b/c (or in general case the set of records describing the renames of all the children of a/b). Would appending such records allow dsync to make correct decisions as to which mailboxes and on which servers to rename?

What namespace config do you have? I got more info from the user that had this problem. He reported that he was was setting up a new Email client (Nexus4 Android) and he sent me a screenshot of his setup. Everything look ordinary except perhaps the IMAP prefix set to "mail". My setup documents inform users to leave it blank, but sometimes they use "mail/", a holdover from the uw-imapd days. I provide some aliases for that, but I don't know what would happen if you leave off the trailing "/". My namespace settings as reported by dovecot -n: namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = separator = / } (The following are aliases to keep backward compatibility) namespace { alias_for = hidden = yes list = no location = prefix = / separator = / } namespace { alias_for = hidden = yes list = no location = prefix = mail/ separator = / } namespace { alias_for = hidden = yes list = no location = prefix = ~/mail/ separator = / } namespace { alias_for = hidden = yes list = no location = prefix = ~%u/mail/ separator = / } I've asked the user to change his prefix, and he'll probably report back.

[Dovecot] Is there any way to mask or hide the INBOX label for Dovecot 1.2.x Shared Mailboxes?
by Jason Discount 13 Feb '13

13 Feb '13

Hello, I'm setting up a new Dovecot sever to replace an old Cyrus server, and need to keep things as consistent as possible. I have a couple local accounts, like junkmail and notjunkmail that users get shared access to, and can drop things in to train sa-update. However, when users share over junkmail's inbox, it's displayed in the hierarchy: • Other Users • junkmail • INBOX Is there any way to get junkmail's INBOX to just show up at Other Users/junkmail and not require that extra depth? • Other Users • junkmail I'm running Debian Squeeze and the standard dovecot package available therein: > # uname -a > Linux internet.digitalquay.com.au 2.6.32-5-xen-amd64 #1 SMP Sun Sep 23 13:49:30 UTC 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux > #dovecot --version > 1.2.15 I'm running in a configuration where all mail is owned by the vmail user, due to the impression I'm under, that it's a better way if there is to be shared mailboxes.

[Dovecot] Marking messages read / retaining date with Sieve
by Bret Martin 13 Feb '13

13 Feb '13

I'm trying to mark several hundred thousand messages as read as they are delivered via dovecot-lda(1). (I'm importing some mail from another format for migration purposes.) I've been able to do this with Sieve, but it has the side effect that the messages' received and saved dates are set to the current date, and Apple Mail (at least) uses one of these to display the message date. Without the Sieve filter in place, the dates are retained based on the From_ line as I would like. Does anyone know of any way I can either - retain the date when delivering using Sieve? - systematically mark a specific set of messages as read *after* delivery instead, perhaps with doveadm(1)? (even marking *everything* read would work in this particular case. I couldn't find any way to set flags with doveadm) Thanks, --Bret

[Dovecot] POLL: v2.2 to allow one mail over quota?
by Timo Sirainen 12 Feb '13

12 Feb '13

Currently if user is 1MB under quota and someone tries to deliver mail that is over 1MB, Dovecot rejects the mail. But smaller mails aren't rejected probably for days. So user might not even realize that they didn't receive one of the mails. Also having a user "almost over quota" is a rather strange state I think. So what do you think about v2.2 allowing delivery of one last mail even if it brings the user over quota? Except add a limit that if the message size is as much as the user's entire quota limit it wouldn't be added (or 50% or ..?). Also IMAP wouldn't allow this, since user would get an error anyway. I could make this also optional, but if nobody really wants to keep the old behavior there's really no point in adding the option.

[Dovecot] Keyword Flags
by David Woodfall 11 Feb '13

11 Feb '13

I mostly use Mutt to read mail but today I fired up Thunderbird. I have a shell script that looks for new mail, which looks for files in cur/ and new/ ending with the server hostname or a comma. When I fired up TB it seems that all new mail has been given a flag of ,a which I gather means it matches a keyword. My questions are: How did this happen? Did TB do something strange to my mail when it fetched headers? If I change my search parameters to ',[a-z]' will this only catch new mail?

[Dovecot] Disabling auth caching just from one passdb
by Angel L. Mateo 11 Feb '13

11 Feb '13

Hello, I'm using various password databases (one of them is a ldap database, which is the used for users connecting with email clients, and the other with pam, using a pam module integrated with our SSO that is used from our webmail). I would like to disable password caching in my pam database (because 'passwords' provided by our SSO are single use tokens, so caching them has no benefit), but not in the ldap. As far as I know, auth_cache_size is the option to enable caching in all databases. But, is there any option I could use to disable it in a specific password database? -- Angel L.

Re: [Dovecot] Imap process crash: assertion failed: (full_fs_access)
by Joseph Tam 11 Feb '13

11 Feb '13

Any guess at what would cause this? Feb 7 21:20:53 server dovecot: imap(user): Panic: file mailbox-list-fs-iter.c: line 447 (fs_list_get_roots): assertion failed: (full_fs_access) (Sorry, no core dump) According to my logs, this user couldn't start an IMAP session for a 2 hour stretch for hundreds of connections. Then the problem seemed to have went away. I logged back as that user using a master password, but couldn't recreate this problem. The backtrace is just hex numbers (stripped executables) and I didn't drop privileges, so it refused to drop core, so that's no help. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

[Dovecot] Moving index files on another disk: no troubles but need more assurances
by Paolo Miotto 11 Feb '13

11 Feb '13

Hi, I'm using dovecot 1.2.15 on debian squeeze with maildir, and I want to move index files out of the mailboxes disk to reduce disk I/O. I need to get the assurance that the switch is completely transparent to my clients (IMAP and POP). I read the wiki documentation and have found this thread (http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2009-September/042665.html) which makes me confident, even if it speaks of a older version and only pop3. So I set up a test server, copied a true mailbox and changed mail location from: mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir to mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir:INDEX=/srv/indexes/%1n/%n (all users under the same domain, no need to use %d). On the IMAP side all seems to work fine, new indexes are created in the new location (dovecot.index.log on 1st access, dovecot.index.cache on message manipolation). A test client (evolution) doesn't notice at all, and I have verified via a telnet imap session that UIDs don't change. But I see that when I move the indexes the IMAP HIGHESTMODSEQ response changes and is reset to 1. Can this baffle the clients? On the rfc I don't found reference to this status walking backwards. Need I to verify that all messages have the virtual size (W=nnnn) in the file name (the mailboxes are from a previous cyrus installation, then we switch to dovecot 1.2)? What other test you suggest that checking UIDL on the pop3 side? What happens if the indexes disk disappears (broken or removed from bay or all paths down for FC/iscsi)? Can dovecot 1.2 continue with INDEX=MEMORY as for a disk full? Sorry for the many questions....

[Dovecot] dovecot, postfix and sieve - broken by Ubuntu upgrade 10.10 -> 12.04

[Dovecot] cPanel && Dovecot 2.x
by Marc Jauvin 10 Feb '13

10 Feb '13

I would like to know if dovecot 2.0.9+ can work with cPanel. I know there is a template for it in cPanel 11.34.1, but when I tried to switch to 2.0.9 (from 1.2.17), it didn't work. I didn't put too much time to test it since I only have one live system to test it with, and I have many customers hosted on this server and I cannot disrupt the service. Has anyone been able to make this work, and if so, is there anything special to do other than rebuilding the config with "/scripts/builddovecotconf" ? Thanks.

[Dovecot] GSS-SPNEGO with dovecot and Outlook without Samba
by Julian David Rath 10 Feb '13

10 Feb '13

I am trying to configure a dovecot2 IMAP server to inter-operate with a active directory to authenticate users. The users should be able to login without a password on a domain-joined client(Outlook). Is it possible to do this only with kerberos? I don't want to put a crappy winbind on my mailserver... I already configured my server to authenticate via kerberos(GSSAPI), but Outlook does not even try to authenticate using GSSAPI, it rather uses PLAIN. I would appreciate any help, many thanks in advance.

[Dovecot] dsync timeout?
by Micah Anderson 08 Feb '13

08 Feb '13

I'm using dsync for a regular backup. The backup system flocks so that two cannot run at the same time, which is generally a good thing. The problem is that it seems like dsync sometimes goes off into the weeds and never comes back, leaving a process running and doing nothing forever, hogging the lock and causing my backups never to run again. I just finally figured out that was what was causing the backups not to run on this system was this process: root 17836 0.0 0.0 40888 1600 ? S 2012 0:00 ssh -i /root/.ssh/backmaildir_id_rsa backmaildir@arg /usr/bin/dsync -u foobar server yeah, that has been running since 2012 :( root:/tmp# strace -p 17836 Process 17836 attached - interrupt to quit select(8, [4], [], NULL, NULL very exciting... There doesn't seem to be a timeout in dsync, but perhaps there should be? At this point my only option is to write a cronjob that will look for dsync processes that are over a certain amount of time old and then kill them, after I do that I will need to take a shower because that is a very dirty solution :P thanks for any ideas, or help! micah --
