by Thomas Harold 01 Aug '11

01 Aug '11

Using the pre-built RPM from ATRPMs. Where does the dovecot-config file get generated? Is there a flag in a config file that controls whether it gets created? Installed Packages Name : dovecot Arch : x86_64 Epoch : 1 Version : 2.0.13 Release : 1_129.el5 Size : 5.1 M Repo : installed Summary : Dovecot Secure imap server URL : http://www.dovecot.org/ License : MIT Do I have to install Dovecot from source in order to also use the Pigeonhole plug-in?

[Dovecot] Dovecot and pigeonhole: mail not filtered
by Sebastian Schlingmann 01 Aug '11

01 Aug '11

Hi everyone, I am running dovecot for quite some time now (currently version 2.0.13). Recently I tried to get Sieve and Managesieve to run. For this purpose I installed pigeonhole 0.2.3 and added sieve to the mail_plugins for lmtp and to the protocols. I also copied the sample 90-sieve.conf and 20-managesieve.conf into my /etc/dovecot/conf.d/ directory. In 90-sieve.conf I uncommented the sieve and sieve_dir options and set them to my desired values. After a restart of dovecot I was able to use my webmailer to add sieve scripts via the managesieve protocol. However the sieve scripts do not trigger. Is there any way to test if sieve is even executed when a mail arrives? mail_debug did not give me any relevant information. BTW: I checked my sieve script with the sieve-test command and it would execute the right action (move a mail into a directory). Bye Sebastian

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.0.x + Sendmail 8.14.4 SMTP AUTH not working
by Serhiy Kolesnyk 31 Jul '11

31 Jul '11

Hello! After moving from Centos 5.6 to Centos 6, I figured that Sendmail minor version was updated from 8.13.x to 8.14 and Dovecto from 1.2 to 2.0.x In previous configuration SMTP auth worked fine (no SASAUTHD neccessary) for virtual users table. Dovecot was authenticating virtual users virtual checking dovecot.passwd file. I'm not sure how Sendmail was processing SMTP AUTH for virtual users connecting via email clients since there was no obvious connection to Dovecot authentication. But SMTP AUTH was working and virtual users could send email via SSL. Now after this recent upgrade I looked into Dovecot conf changes and updated it according. POP/IMAP are working and Sendmail does deliver incoming mail to the mbox folders. What stopped working is SMTP AUTH. Here's maillog excerpt of authentication process: Jul 29 23:46:11 one2action sendmail[2865]: AUTH: available mech=CRAM-MD5 DIGEST-MD5 LOGIN GSSAPI PLAIN, allowed mech=LOGIN PLAIN Jul 29 23:46:11 one2action sendmail[2865]: STARTTLS=server, get_verify: 0 get_peer: 0x0 Jul 29 23:46:11 one2action sendmail[2865]: STARTTLS=server, relay=136-31-132-95.pool.ukrtel.net [95.132.31.136], version=TLSv1/SSLv3, verify=NO, cipher=RC4-MD5, bits=128/128 Jul 29 23:46:11 one2action sendmail[2865]: STARTTLS=server, cert-subject=, cert-issuer=, verifymsg=ok Jul 29 23:46:11 one2action sendmail[2865]: AUTH: available mech=CRAM-MD5 DIGEST-MD5 LOGIN GSSAPI PLAIN, allowed mech=LOGIN PLAIN Jul 29 23:46:11 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: --- 220 one2action.com ESMTP Sendmail 8.14.4/8.14.4; Fri, 29 Jul 2011 23:46:11 +0100 Jul 29 23:46:11 one2action sendmail[2865]: STARTTLS=read, info: fds=8/4, err=2 Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: <-- EHLO astronaut Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: --- 250-one2action.com Hello 136-31-132-95.pool.ukrtel.net [95.132.31.136], pleased to meet you Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: --- 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: --- 250-PIPELINING Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: --- 250-8BITMIME Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: --- 250-SIZE Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: --- 250-DSN Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: --- 250-ETRN Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: --- 250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: --- 250-DELIVERBY Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: --- 250 HELP Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: STARTTLS=read, info: fds=8/4, err=2 Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: <-- AUTH LOGIN Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: --- 334 VXNlcm5hbWU6 Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: STARTTLS=read, info: fds=8/4, err=2 Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: --- 334 UGFzc3dvcmQ6 Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: STARTTLS=read, info: fds=8/4, err=2 Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: --- 535 5.7.0 authentication failed Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: AUTH failure (LOGIN): generic failure (-1) SASL(-1): generic failure: checkpass failed, relay=136-31-132-95.pool.ukrtel.net [95.132.31.136] Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: STARTTLS=read, info: fds=8/4, err=2 Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: --- 421 4.4.1 one2action.com Lost input channel from 136-31-132-95.pool.ukrtel.net [95.132.31.136] Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: lost input channel from 136-31-132-95.pool.ukrtel.net [95.132.31.136] to TLSMTA after auth Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: 136-31-132-95.pool.ukrtel.net [95.132.31.136] did not issue MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN during connection to TLSMTA Here's dovecot -n # dovecot -n # 2.0.beta6 (3156315704ef): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.39.1-linode34 i686 CentOS Linux release 6.0 (Final) auth_cache_negative_ttl = 3600 s auth_debug_passwords = yes auth_mechanisms = plain login DIGEST-MD5 cram-md5 auth_worker_max_count = 3 default_client_limit = 10 default_process_limit = 5 disable_plaintext_auth = no listen = * log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u mail_privileged_group = mail mbox_write_locks = fcntl passdb { args = scheme=MD5-CRYPT username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/dovecot.passwd driver = passwd-file } passdb { args = dovecot driver = pam } passdb { args = /etc/passwd driver = passwd-file } protocols = imap pop3 service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-userdb { group = smmsp mode = 0666 user = smmsp } unix_listener dovecot-auth { group = smmsp mode = 0666 user = smmsp } } service imap-login { inet_listener imaps { port = 993 ssl = yes } } service pop3-login { inet_listener pop3s { port = 995 ssl = yes } } ssl_cert = </etc/pki/tls/certs/sendmail.pem ssl_cipher_list = TLSv1+HIGH:!SSLv2:RC4+MEDIUM:!aNULL:!eNULL:!3DES:@STRENGTH ssl_key = </etc/pki/tls/certs/sendmail.pem userdb { args = username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/dovecot.passwd driver = passwd-file } protocol lda { auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master postmaster_address = postmaster(a)example.com } protocol imap { imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail } protocol pop3 { pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv } As I understand Sendmail now can't find Dovecot authentication via userdb and that's why a client isn't authenticated.

[Dovecot] lda_mailbox_autosubscribe - v2 wiki is a bit unclear
by Thomas Harold 29 Jul '11

29 Jul '11

In the old wiki: http://wiki1.dovecot.org/LDA -m <mailbox>: Destination mailbox (default is INBOX). If the mailbox doesn't exist, it's created (unless -n is used). If message couldn't be saved to the mailbox for any reason, it's delivered to INBOX instead. -s: Subscribe to mailboxes that are automatically created (via -m parameter or fileinto Sieve action). (v1.1.3+) Those have been replaced in Dovecot v2 with: # Should saving a mail to a nonexistent mailbox automatically create it? lda_mailbox_autocreate = no # Should automatically created mailboxes be also automatically subscribed? lda_mailbox_autosubscribe = no But neither of those options are mentioned on the LDA wiki page: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/LDA It's only mentioned in passing on the 2.0 page that explains the changes between 1.2 and 2.0.

[Dovecot] vpopmail + dovecot-lda doubling deliver messages
by Juliano Nascimento 29 Jul '11

29 Jul '11

We use qmail + vpopmail + dovecot, limits and alias are in vpopmail mysql database, it has worked ok. The .qmail-default: | /data/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox | /var/qmail/bin/preline -f /usr/local/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d $EXT@$USER When you send a message to alias works OK. The problem that is happening that is sent to asdf(a)domain.com asdf(a)domain.com he is doubling the email. Come the email that you sent / wrote an email and more with nearly no head, no matter. Searching is very realized that something related to Deliver the dovecot. Can you help us? Tips? Thank you all.

[Dovecot] want only usder in userfile/passfile and use to login user@domain
by Erik - versatel 28 Jul '11

28 Jul '11

After adding: auth_username_format=%Lu the %d domain is unfolleded correctly. (and not empty anymore) Maybe a good idee to make a remark in the text Virtual Users about that. I use: passdb: driver: passwd-file args: /etc/dovecot/vhosts/%d/etc/shadow userdb: driver: static args: uid=virtual gid=virtual home=/var/mail/vhosts/%d/%u In the password-file (shadow) i have to add users in the form user@domain. I want to add users in the form user I have also tryed not a static userdb but a real one; see example Dynamic-passwd locations. To get this working i had to add mail-uid and mail-gid. But still it has the same form user@domain and not user Can anybody tell my how to get ride of the domain part in the passwd en userfile. I still want the user to login with user@domain Thanks.

[Dovecot] dovecot quota feature request

Hi all, I'm going to implement before queue quota check with postfix to prevent bounce mail, the quota information is stored into mysql using dovecot quotadict, it would be nice that dovecot can have an option to switch the quota check with (used space < quota) instead of (used space+mail size < quota), so that i can write a simple sql statement to check_recipient_access to reject those mail, thanks.

[Dovecot] Store quota on passwd-file?? Not work
by Sébastien FOURCADE 28 Jul '11

28 Jul '11

Hello all, I have installed Dovecot 1.2.15 and Postfix 2.7.1 on my Debian 6.This install no include MySQL, I prefer to store Password/User in a file... File /etc/dovecot/passwd contains :user2@domain.com:{CRAM-MD5}::::userdb_mail=maildir:~/Maildir userdb_quota_rule=*:bytes=300M File /etc/dovecot/users :user2@domain.com::3000:3000::/home/vmail/domain.com/user2/:/bin/false:: What is the correct syntax for my file to use a different per-user quota ? This example not work on my Dovecot :user2@domain.com:{CRAM-MD5}:3000:3000::/home/vmail/domain.com/user2::userdb_mail=maildir:~/Maildir userdb_quota_rule=*:storage=200Muser2@domain.com:{CRAM-MD5}:3000:3000::/home/vmail/domain.com/user2::userdb_quota_rule=*:bytes=200M Thx.

[Dovecot] set delay between pop3-logins
by tonjg 28 Jul '11

28 Jul '11

I'm using dovecot 1.1.8 on a raq4 server running centos 4.8 Is it possible to set a time delay between all dovecot pop3-logins? say 20 - 30 seconds for example? My reason is I want to thwart the constant login attempts from hackers hunting for an open relay. It's no good blocking the ip address because every hack attempt comes in from a different address. I'm the only user on the server so no-one else would be affected by such a delay. Thanks for any pointers -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/set-delay-between-pop3-logins-tp32134037p32134037.html Sent from the Dovecot mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Dovecot] lmtp multiple recipients fail
by flylordis flylordis 28 Jul '11

28 Jul '11

Hello, I am having a problem with the lmtp delivery of mail addressed to multiple recipients. The first recipient receives the mail correctly but the next recipients do not. ltmp apparently tries to create a link from the subsequent recipients' mail store to the first recipient mail store and fails. This returns 451 smtp codes to the sender which then resends at some later time. Please see below for users jerry, steve, and mary. The message to jerry gets written but not steve or mary: ul 27 11:24:41 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412): Debug: none: root=, index=, control=, inbox= Jul 27 11:24:41 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412): Connect from 143.112.53.4 Jul 27 11:24:41 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412): Debug: auth input: jerry home=/spool/mail/j/jerry system_groups_user=jerry uid=18738 gid=4025 Jul 27 11:24:41 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412): Debug: auth input: steve home=/spool/mail/s/steve system_groups_user=steve uid=9838 gid=3011 Jul 27 11:24:41 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412): Debug: auth input: mary home=/spool/mail/m/mary system_groups_user=mary uid=7007 gid=3011 Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, jerry): Debug: Effective uid=18738, gid=4025, home=/spool/mail/j/jerry Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, jerry): Debug: fs: root=/spool/mail/j/jerry/mail, index=, control=, inbox=/spool/mail/j/jerry/mail/INBOX Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, jerry): Debug: Namespace : Permission lookup failed from /spool/mail/j/jerry/mail/mailboxes/INBOX Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, jerry): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions from /spool/mail/j/jerry/mail: mode=0700 gid=-1 Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, jerry): Debug: Namespace : Permission lookup failed from /spool/mail/j/jerry/mail/mailboxes/INBOX Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, jerry): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions from /spool/mail/j/jerry/mail: mode=0700 gid=-1 Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, jerry): Debug: Namespace : Permission lookup failed from /spool/mail/j/jerry/mail/mailboxes/INBOX Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, jerry): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions from /spool/mail/j/jerry/mail: mode=0700 gid=-1 Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, jerry): Debug: Namespace : Permission lookup failed from /spool/mail/j/jerry/mail/mailboxes/INBOX Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, jerry): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions from /spool/mail/j/jerry/mail: mode=0700 gid=-1 Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, jerry): +1IXBeVXME58MAAARoVNxQ: msgid=<201107271824.p6RIOPa5020900@backup.>: saved mail to INBOX Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, steve): Debug: Effective uid=9838, gid=3011, home=/spool/mail/s/steve Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, steve): Debug: fs: root=/spool/mail/s/steve/mail, index=, control=, inbox=/spool/mail/s/steve/mail/INBOX Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, steve): Debug: Namespace : Permission lookup failed from /spool/mail/s/steve/mail/mailboxes/INBOX Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, steve): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions from /spool/mail/s/steve/mail: mode=0700 gid=-1 Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, steve): Debug: Namespace : Permission lookup failed from /spool/mail/s/steve/mail/mailboxes/INBOX Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, steve): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions from /spool/mail/s/steve/mail: mode=0700 gid=-1 Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, steve): Debug: Namespace : Permission lookup failed from /spool/mail/s/steve/mail/mailboxes/INBOX Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, steve): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions from /spool/mail/s/steve/mail: mode=0700 gid=-1 Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, steve): Debug: Namespace : Permission lookup failed from /spool/mail/s/steve/mail/mailboxes/INBOX Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, steve): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions from /spool/mail/s/steve/mail: mode=0700 gid=-1 Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, steve): Error: link(/spool/mail/j/jerry/mail/INBOX/u.20423, /spool/mail/s/steve/mail/INBOX/.temp.1311791081.P12412Q2M989550.testmailserver.) failed: Permission denied Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, steve): +1IXBeVXME58MAAARoVNxQ: msgid=<201107271824.p6RIOPa5020900@backup.>: save failed to INBOX: Internal error occurred.

Hi, I'm using Dovecot 1.2.15 on Debian. On some clients, at least KMail, some messages (especially older ones) appear twice in the message list of the client. This is really annoying. Can anyone give me a hint on how to solve this issue? -- Best Regards, Dominik Schulz

Hello I would be grateful if someone could send an example of a dictionnary flat file used by the shared mailboxes feature, it has very few here so a flat file will be enough I think. Thank you

[Dovecot] Problem with client login in 1.2.17
by John O'Brien 27 Jul '11

27 Jul '11

Hi, I have been using CentOS 5.5 with Dovecot 1.0.7. My client apps login with TLS/SSL using an postgres database for username and password authentication. I developed a plugin that added an additional IMAP command. I want to eventually migrate to release 2.0 but have decided to make this a two step process. I have started with 1.2.17 as I hope this would be a smaller step along the way. I have installed 1.2.17 from source an installed. Rebuilt my plugin and installed and set about updating the dovecot.conf file. Installing the SSL certificate etc.....

[Dovecot] sieve, vacation - lda-dupes being ignored?

EVERY time the user checks his mails. I haven't heard any user complaint about this, but perhaps nobody tried this before. I recreated this situation (copy old qpopper message INBOX -> tmpbox -> INBOX) and produced two messages with identical X-UIDL headers, but according to the Wikipedia entry for POP3: Comparison with IMAP Clients that leave mail on servers generally use the UIDL command to get the current association of message-numbers to message identified by its unique identifier. The unique identifier is arbitrary, and might be repeated if the mailbox contains identical messages. This is echoed in RFC1939 (page 11-12) While it is generally preferable for server implementations to store arbitrarily assigned unique-ids in the maildrop, this specification is intended to permit unique-ids to be calculated as a hash of the message. Clients should be able to handle a situation where two identical copies of a message in a maildrop have the same unique-id. So POP3 UIDLs are not guaranteed to be unique, especially if the messages are the same. Perhaps some mail readers are making unwarranted assumptions about the uniqueness of UIDLs: http://www.eggheadcafe.com/software/aspnet/33485042/duplicate-messageiduidl… https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/view.php?id=3599 Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

[Dovecot] phantom new message notification
by Stan Hoeppner 26 Jul '11

26 Jul '11

I've developed a phantom new message notification on a single IMAP folder in Thunderbird. I've deleted the Dovecot index files for this problematic folder, and I've deleted the .msf file in the Tbird profile. Neither of which solved the problem. The only other time I've run into something similar was with CONDSTORE quite a long time ago, but that affected all folders, not just one. Any ideas? -- Stan

[Dovecot] drac plugin "net_ip2addr() failed: Operation not permitted"
by Michael Moritz 25 Jul '11

25 Jul '11

Hi, I'm trying to get the drac plugin working (again) but I'm stuck with the following message: Restarting IMAP/POP3 mail server: dovecotEDRAC: net_ip2addr() failed: Operation not permitted This is on a Debian Squeeze box, dovecot version 1.2.15-7, drac version 1.12 Looking at the source it should print the IP in the brackets of net_ip2addr. The fact that it's just empty made me think that I may need to set an environment variable. I tried IP="127.0.0.1" in /etc/default/dovecot and as export but to no avail. Any ideas? Thanks, mimo

[Dovecot] passwd not found
by Erik - versatel 25 Jul '11

25 Jul '11

If I use in dovecot.conf passdb passwd-file { args = /etc/dovecot/vhosts/%d/etc/shadow } userdb static { args = uid=virtual gid=virtual home=/var/mail/vhosts/%d/%u allow_all_users=yes } I get an authorisation failure in my mail.log file. If I use passdb passwd-file { args = /etc/dovecot/vhosts/shadow } userdb static { args = uid=virtual gid=virtual home=/var/mail/vhosts/%d/%u allow_all_users=yes } This works !!! (without the %d) in the passdb passwd-file Than the %d/%u is correctly rewritten in the userdb static. PS I have in the passwd-file the username@domain and the username documented for testing. I think there is some problem with the %d (DOMAIN) How can I check if %d is filled ?? And how can i make different authorisationdirs and files per domain.

Hi, I'm attempting to migrate a Courier-IMAP Server to Dovecto. I've followed the instructions in the Dovecot wiki and converted the indices using the provided perl script. Howevery I'm getting "UIDVALIDITY changed ..." messages in the logfile and some of the test clients list some messages twice. I didn't find much about this issue in the wiki. Any hints? -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best Regards Dominik

[Dovecot] Ubuntu package for dovecot 2.0.x from debian package
by Vincent Richomme 23 Jul '11

23 Jul '11

Hi, I am running a server under Ubuntu 11.04(natty) and I would like to install a 2.x version but unfortunately the only package available is 1.2.15. Of course I could compile and install from sources but I would prefer to handle packages because it's a lot simpler and cleaner. After some research I found some debian packages available here : http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/pool/testing-auto/dovecot-2.0/ So my question is would it be possible to recompile the source package to make a ubuntu one ? Or maybe could I install directly the debian package (but I suppose dependencies are not the same ...). If someone has already an experience with that and couls share his experience. Still don't understand why distros don't use dovecot 2.x ? Is it considered still as unstable ? Thanks

[Dovecot] Automatic Client Retrieval of Messages
by qmail＠top-consulting.net 23 Jul '11

23 Jul '11

Are there any mail clients that automatically pull in folder contents even though they don't have a subscription to that folder ? I have defined a namespace with subscriptions=yes, hidden=yes and list=yes. There are no subscriptions files for any of the users yet they are still pulling data from the folders in that namespace. What gives ?

[Dovecot] My status
by Timo Sirainen 23 Jul '11

23 Jul '11

Hello list, In case anyone's wondering why I haven't been replying here much lately: 1. I've been busy working (you know, paid work) on full text search indexing redesign. That change was a bigger job than I realized at first (mainly due to virtual mailboxes), so I've been a bit stressed/frustrated over it. I finally finished it today though, so that's over now: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.1/rev/7b9978eb6f91 I hope to add Antonio's Solr attachment indexing support to it once I'm a bit less busy. I'm in any case also going to add generic attachment indexing so that CLucene backend can also do it. I've also other work left to do for a few more weeks. 2. My new apartment gets too hot (30C) when it gets over about 22C outside, which is almost daily. So my brain melts in the heat and I don't have energy to do much of anything. But I finally yesterday bought an air conditioning machine, which should solve this problem. I don't know why I didn't buy it weeks ago. So .. I'll try to get back to reading and answering mails next week after I've finished some more work and don't feel like I'm lagging behind too much.

[Dovecot] failed creating protocol instance to play queued url
by Ken Mandelberg 22 Jul '11

22 Jul '11

I run thunderbird (both 3.x and 5.x) against dovecot 2.x and frequently see delays "loading message". I admit to having a very large mailbox and running multiple imap clients. I've turned on thunderbird debugging, and at least one pattern I see in the log during the delays (maybe a minute long) is the failed protocol message above. These are no the only delays, but are the ones that catch my eye. The thunderbird debug logs are not time stamped (that I can tell), so its difficult to go back and find the delays from the log. Here is an example of one of the delays.

[Dovecot] Dovecot2 Antispam plugin questions
by Steve Fatula 22 Jul '11

22 Jul '11

Tried to find some doc on this (other than the c code), couldn't, so, asking. I do almost every programming language, except C! When using DSPAM backend with this tool, will the plugin send ONLY the signature and not the entire message to dspam for retraining? Concerned about very large emails. If this is the case, I'd rather do this than use say the mailtrain backend which I presume would send the entire message. Having some permission problems though with the dspam binary since regular users can't execute dspam the way it is currently set up. Any security reason to not allow regular users to run the binary?

[Dovecot] Shared folders and home directories
by Christian Lerrahn 21 Jul '11

21 Jul '11

Hi, I've recently migrated a server from a Qmail/VPOPMail setup to a Postfix/system accounts setup. Everything worked pretty much out of the box after just changing the passdb and userdb to pam and passwd. However, I cannot get my shared folders to work. In the logs I will always see something like Jul 21 07:24:10 mybox dovecot: IMAP(foobar): Namespace 'shared/': Could not lookup home for user bla Jul 21 07:24:11 mybox dovecot: IMAP(foobar): userdb lookup: connect(/var/run/dovecot/auth-master) failed: No such file or directory Now, I don't understand why I need auth-master to find the home directory of user "bla" (who owns the shared folder). However, even if I configure auth-master, only the error messages will go away but I still can't see the shared folders. The configuration (as shown below) worked fine with vpopmail and is just taken from http://wiki.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Shared . What do I have to change to make this work with passwd instead? Do I really need auth-master? If yes, how do I need to set it up to do the job properly?

[Dovecot] %w variable is missing
by Tom Sommer 21 Jul '11

21 Jul '11

Hi, I just noticed that the %w variable is now empty, after upgrading to version 2.0.11? I can still find references to it in the documentation, and in doc/wiki/Variables.txt - but the variable is empty and I can't find any references to it in the sourcecode. Was it overlooked or has it been removed? I'm in need of it :) Thanks. // Tom

[Dovecot] POP3 vs. IMAP Load/Memory usage in Dovecot 1.0.15
by lists＠truthisfreedom.org.uk 21 Jul '11

21 Jul '11

Hi all, We've just provisioned a new cluster of dovecot nodes running Centos and Dovecot 1.0.15 (we needed to match the original configuration, we're upgrading to 1.2 next week!). The nodes are currently equally allocated (50/50 split) to IMAP and POP3, with the intention to move them into a single cluster hosting both services in the next month. All the servers are of identical spec (24 cores, 24G RAM) and are configured to load the indices, control files and maildirs via NFS. We have noticed that the IMAP servers appear to be under much less load and utilising drastically less RAM than the POP3 servers and I'm wondering if there is a reason for this as we have seen some swapping onto disk yet we are only handling 500 concurrent POP3 connections to each server at any given time compared with over 600 IMAP connections. I'm wondering if we've missed a config flag somewhere or (better still!) this issue will go away when we upgrade to 1.2. If anyone can shed any light on this, that would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance, Matt

[Dovecot] dovecot2 on Snow Leopard trouble
by Denis J. Cirulis 20 Jul '11

20 Jul '11

Hello list, I have one task to complete - to install and configure imap server on Mac Mini OS X 10.6.8. I'm not new to dovecot, so the favorite imap server is dovecot. Are there any special settings running dovecot on OS X ? I've compiled dovecot 2.0.13 with mysql5 and openssl via macports. Configured virtual users from mysql and turned on all debug, but when I connect to this server via MUA I'm receiving the message "Mailbox locked. Next try in XX seconds" or something like that. No errors in dovecot.log, clean auth process, correct data (passwords,spool dirs) from mysql. Same configuration works on Linux,FreeBSD and Solaris like a charm. What can be a problem running on OS X ?

[Dovecot] GSSAPI makes webmail access really slow
by Nicolas GRENECHE 20 Jul '11

Hello, I use dovecot 1.2.15 as an IMAP backend for Horde webmail. When I enable PLAIN and GSSAPI as authentication mecanisms, it makes Horde very slow. If I enable only PLAIN it is a lot more fast.

[Dovecot] Performance with 200k messages in Maildir
by Vegard Svanberg 20 Jul '11

20 Jul '11

What should I expect performance-wise if I put 200000 messages in a Maildir store and use two or three MUAs (mutt and Thunderbird), on an Athlon dual core 2GHz with SATA drives in software RAID (Linux)? Like; would it be useless/crawling, usable or pretty fast. I imagine MUA startup / first time folder read would be slow, but daily use more or less ok. Thanks to Dovecot's indexing, I imagine I would be better off interfacing Mutt to Maildir via IMAP and Dovecot rather than accessing Maildir/ directly? -- Vegard Svanberg <vegard(a)svanberg.no> [*Takapa@IRC (EFnet)]
