[Dovecot] LDA ignored
by Leander S. 10 Jul '10

10 Jul '10

Hi, my final goal is it to make use Dovecot's sieve modul - but unfortunately I'm not getting the LDA running as it is described in the Dovecot's wiki pages ... ;/ I've more and more getting the feeling that the LDA section in the configuration is completely ignored, cause whatever change I do in there is not being recognized at all - I could just type wildly arround in there - restart Dovecot and it will work. But the dovecot.conf is being used by Dovecot - cause changes to other sections are affecting Dovecot's behaviour ... it's really just the LDA section. I configured and compiled Dovecot with LDA & Managesieve. Otherwhise Dovecot / Postfix setup is running quite well - mail is being scanned by amavis and Spamassassin and delivered as it did before I added / changed the configs to the sieve related options ... It's very weired. I activated "mail_debug = yes" and the following shows up when I start Dovecot: Starting dovecot. ILoading modules from directory: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap IModule loaded: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap/lib10_quota_plugin.so IModule loaded: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap/lib11_imap_quota_plugin.so IEffective uid=65534, gid=65534, home=/tmp Iquota: No quota setting - plugin disabled IEffective uid=65534, gid=65534, home=/tmp It doesn't say a thing about sieve / lda ... ;( The proof that Dovecot is running: Server # ps aux | grep dove root 29355 0.0 0.1 5944 1768 ??

[Dovecot] I can receive but not send
by Dennis Clarke 09 Jul '10

09 Jul '10

I'm not too sure where to look here. I can access my mail via Dovecot and there is an initial requirement to accept an SSL key ( self signed ) however after I look in my inbox and read a piece of email ( via SeaMonkey eMail client ) I can not send. I simply get told that the server would not accept the smtp connection. I was hoping for a smtps connection but I'll take what I can get. Am I missing something obvious here ? -- Dennis

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.0 with LMTP
by Thiago Henrique 09 Jul '10

09 Jul '10

Hello, I'm testing Dovecot 2.0. I plan to use Dovecot 2.0 with thousands of domains per server. My user base is under virtual MySQL. Is there a way to make the LMTP not make query to MySQL for each message delivered ? I'm afraid that the MySQL server does not support the load.

Re: [Dovecot] Sieve user info log (was: problems with sieve under 2.0)

There is a per-user <main-script>.log file (e.g. .dovecot.sieve.log), but that will only be written when there are any errors.

However, configuring this behavior is an interesting issue. If the user log verbosity is configured in the Dovecot userdb, it may in many cases still only be configurable by the administrator. An alternative solution would be to provide the logging configuration directly in the Sieve script; analogous to the way Procmail handles this. This would give users direct control. However, the Sieve specification and its extensions currently define no such facility. In fact, both Sieve and ManageSieve don't provide any means for the user to control what is logged during script execution. This would require some new or custom (vnd.dovecot.) Sieve or ManageSieve extension. However, defining a new extension like that is rarely useful unless clients implement support for it. Another problem is that users need filesystem access or some other custom (HTTP) interface to read the logs. This can be problematic when virtual users are involved. This too could be mended with an extension to the ManageSieve protocol. Alternatively, the Pigeonhole TODO list mentions a solution that writes logs as messages in a special IMAP-accessible folder, but I'm still not sure how practical that is. The above considerations may warrant starting a draft RFC on controlling and accessing Sieve runtime logs. But, I'm deviating from the original issue... what is it that you truly need right now? And for the Dovecot list, any other ideas on the above? Regards, Stephan.

[Dovecot] trash folder (again)
by Holger Hegmanns 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

Hi, I read very intently all the issues related to imap trash folders, but either I didn't unerstand them or my problem is slightly different. I plan to migrate from cyrus to dovecot. I've executed the perl script cyrus2dovecot successfully with the substitution flag "-E 's/^\./.INBOX./'" cause I want to have all folders as subfolders of the INBOX. The vmail dir looks like this afterwards: drwxr-xr-x 11 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 . drwxr-xr-x 3 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .. drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.Drafts drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.Sent drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.Templates drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.Trash drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.blah drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.blub drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 cur -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 119 Jul 8 14:19 dovecot-uidlist drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 new -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 80 Jul 8 14:19 subscriptions drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 tmp After the first access with Thunderbird, regardless of the version (TB2x or TB3x) and regardless of using TB with an empty profile or a well filled up, the directory looks different: drwxr-xr-x 12 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:21 . drwxr-xr-x 3 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .. drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.Drafts drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.Sent drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.Templates drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.Trash drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.blah drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.blub drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:21 .Trash drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 cur -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 119 Jul 8 14:21 dovecot-uidlist -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 17408 Jul 8 14:21 dovecot.index.cache -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 448 Jul 8 14:21 dovecot.index.log drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 new -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 86 Jul 8 14:21 subscriptions drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 tmp A Trash folder was added by TB, I guess.

The preexisting Trash folder (I created all the standard folders with cyradm by hand) below the INBOX seems sufficient to TB, no further Trash can was created and here all input fields are filled up as followed: private namespace "INBOX." shared "" other users "user."

I'm setting up shared mailboxes as in http://wiki.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Shared, and have set ACLs as described on that page to share one folder of user A's mailbox with User B. However, I'm struggling to get Thunderbird for userb(a)example.com to read the shared folder of usera(a)example.com. Has anyone done this? Thunderbird 3.0, Dovecot 1.2.11 Thanks, Keith

[Dovecot] Eronious comment in sample Director configuration
by Brad Davidson 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

The sample Director configuration (10-director.conf) says that director_servers and director_mail_servers can be lists of either IPs or hostnames: # List of IPs or hostnames to all director servers, including ourself. # Ports can be specified as ip:port. The default port is the same as # what director service's inet_listener is using. #director_servers = # List of IPs or hostnames to all backend mail servers. Ranges are allowed # too, like 10.0.0.10-10.0.0.30. #director_mail_servers = However, if I use hostnames, it bails out with an "Invalid IP address" error. It also seems to be confusing the dashes in my hostnames for address range specifications. Obviously hostnames are not currently supported, but I thought I'd mention it so the documentation could be updated. -Brad

[Dovecot] Patch for second fs quota under solaris
by Juergen Obermann 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

Hallo. We use dovecot 1.2.12 running under Solaris 9 and wanted to set up a second filesystem quota root because the mail folders are in the users home directories and the inboxes of all users are in /var/mail. This is defined in dovecot.conf: quota = fs:Home-Verzeichnis:noenforcing quota2 = fs:INBOX:noenforcing:mount=/var/mail This second quota did not work, but now I found the reason why. The mountpoint_get in src/lib/mountpoint.c needs to call resetmnttab to find the filesystem for the second quota root (see man resetmnttab). The following patches correct this and also adds some debugging code to src/plugins/quota/quota-fs.c to show the processing of quota2. These patches are only needed for Solaris with filesystem quotas. dovecot-1.2.12 ############## *** ./src/lib/mountpoint.c.orig Mon Jan 25 00:14:17 2010 --- ./src/lib/mountpoint.c Thu Jul 8 11:21:11 2010 *************** *** 164,169 **** --- 164,170 ---- i_error("fopen(%s) failed: %m", MTAB_PATH); return -1; } + resetmnttab(f); while ((getextmntent(f, &ent.ext, sizeof(ent.ext))) == 0) { if (hasmntopt(&ent.ent, MNTOPT_IGNORE) != NULL) continue; *** ./src/plugins/quota/quota-fs.c.orig Sat Jun 19 00:12:44 2010 --- ./src/plugins/quota/quota-fs.c Wed Jul 7 16:54:20 2010 *************** *** 249,256 **** continue; mount = fs_quota_mountpoint_get(root->storage_mount_path); ! if (mount != NULL) fs_quota_mount_init(root, mount); } } --- 249,263 ---- continue; mount = fs_quota_mountpoint_get(root->storage_mount_path); ! if (mount != NULL) { ! if (quota->set->debug) { ! i_info("fs quota2 add storage dir = %s", root->storage_mount_path); ! i_info("fs quota2 block device = %s", mount->device_path); ! i_info("fs quota2 mount point = %s", mount->mount_path); ! i_info("fs quota2 mount type = %s", mount->type); ! } fs_quota_mount_init(root, mount); + } } } dovecot-2.0.rc1 ############### *** ./src/lib/mountpoint.c.orig Mon Jan 25 00:16:12 2010 --- ./src/lib/mountpoint.c Thu Jul 8 11:24:10 2010 *************** *** 164,169 **** --- 164,170 ---- i_error("fopen(%s) failed: %m", MTAB_PATH); return -1; } + resetmnttab(f); while ((getextmntent(f, &ent.ext, sizeof(ent.ext))) == 0) { if (hasmntopt(&ent.ent, MNTOPT_IGNORE) != NULL) continue; *** ./src/plugins/quota/quota-fs.c.orig Fri Jul 2 21:32:40 2010 --- ./src/plugins/quota/quota-fs.c Wed Jul 7 12:52:38 2010 *************** *** 264,271 **** continue; mount = fs_quota_mountpoint_get(root->storage_mount_path); ! if (mount != NULL) fs_quota_mount_init(root, mount); } } --- 264,278 ---- continue; mount = fs_quota_mountpoint_get(root->storage_mount_path); ! if (mount != NULL) { ! if (quota->set->debug) { ! i_debug("fs quota2 add mailbox dir = %s", root->storage_mount_path); ! i_debug("fs quota2 block device = %s", mount->device_path); ! i_debug("fs quota2 mount point = %s", mount->mount_path); ! i_debug("fs quota2 mount type = %s", mount->type); ! } fs_quota_mount_init(root, mount); + } } } Greetings, Jürgen Obermann -- Hochschulrechenzentrum der | Mail: Juergen.Obermann(a)hrz.uni-giessen.de Justus-Liebig-Universitaet | WWW: http://www.uni-giessen.de/obermann Heinrich-Buff-Ring 44 | Tel: 0641-99-13054 (0641-99-13001) D-35392 Giessen, Germany | Fax: 0641-99-13009

If I connect direct to the server and send the command 1 list "" "*" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Sent" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Trash" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Drafts" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "INBOX" * LIST (\Noselect \HasNoChildren) "/" "FremdeOrdner" 1 OK List completed. Here "INBOX" is listed. Is this correct no folder "INBOX"? -- Regards --- Burckhard Schmidt

[Dovecot] problems with sieve under 2.0...
by Perry E. Metzger 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

I'm experimenting with a 2.0 setup, using the sieve plugin for 2.0 from mercurial. Without sieve, everything seems to work fine. Once I put in a .dovecot.sieve file, though, nothing gets delivered, with the only hint of what's going wrong being this mess in syslog: Jul 7 13:18:00 bellman dovecot: lda(perry): Panic: file index-transaction.c: line 70 (index_transaction_init): assertion failed: (box->opened) Jul 7 13:18:00 bellman dovecot: lda(perry): Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0 [0x7f55e07fedd2] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_syslog_fatal_handler+0x2b) [0x7f55e07fee7b] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_error+0) [0x7f55e07ff1e3] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0 [0x7f55e0cbdc31] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(index_transaction_begin+0x3f) [0x7f55e0cbdc7f] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mailbox_transaction_begin+0x13) [0x7f55e0c750d3] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-sieve.so.0 [0x7f55df800724] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-sieve.so.0(sieve_result_execute+0x173) [0x7f55df7f9183] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-sieve.so.0(sieve_execute+0x7d) [0x7f55df807b5d] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lib90_sieve_plugin.so [0x7f55dfa3bbed] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-lda.so.0(mail_deliver+0x44) [0x7f55e0a41e84] -> /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda(main+0x692) [0x402f72] -> /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe6) [0x7f55e00831a6] -> /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda [0x402819] Ideas? -- Perry E.

[Dovecot] Thunderbird problem
by Frank Bonnet 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

Hello Some users had occasionally a problem with Thunderbird , some random emails with attachement(s) cannot be read anymore the email appears empty and TB seems to enter in an infinite loop saying it is downloading the message The only solution I found was : 1 - stop thunderbird on the client machine 2 - remove the .imap user's directory 3 - restart thunderbird on the client machine After doing that all emails re-appear normally and attachements are readable/downloadable again. ALL our clients use the IMAP(S) protocol. Anyone had the same problem ? Thanks F

[Dovecot] Australian Internet Filtering Position
by Ryan Halloway 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

List, With sites like this appearing everywhere: http://www.dontfilterme.com and http://nocleanfeed.com/ Just trying to get a general opinion with what everyone thinks of the filtering situation in Australia. Whether you believe its a good thing or a bad thing or you don't really care. I'm writing a letter to an Australian MP (Member of Parliament) and I want to get some actual opinions of what other systems administrators think of the internet filter, even if they are not in Australia. Not only at a technical aspect but at an opinion aspect as well. Either reply on list or pm me. I just want to get a general idea. Thanks, Ryan.

[Dovecot] OT: Sieve + Forward as Attachment
by Jerry 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

I know that this is technically not a Dovecot problem; however, I was wondering if anyone knew if 'sieve' had been updated with the ability to 'forward as attachment' a received document. I believe it has the ability to forward a document; however, I need the ability to forward it as an attachment if possible. Also I believe, somewhat due to my asking for them, that sieve exits with appropriate error codes. Is there a listing of these codes, other than in the actual program code itself, of what those exit codes are? -- Jerry ✌ Dovecot.user(a)seibercom.net Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.

[Dovecot] Manually creating folders from terminal
by A. J. Giurato 07 Jul '10

07 Jul '10

I'm trying to use a script to create a mailbox structure. I'm aware that the structure should look like: ~/.maildir/.INBOX/{cur,tmp,new} ~/.maildir/.INBOX.Subfolder1/{cur,tmp,new} ~/.maildir/.INBOX.Subfolder2/{cur,tmp,new} ~/.maildir/.INBOX.Subfolder2.Subsubfolder1/{cur,tmp,new} ... I have tried manually making those directories and using the "maildirmake.dovecot" command that my system has. I feel that in the past, folders I have made this way worked. However, now none are showing up in my clients. In Thunderbird, they aren't even listed on the "Subscribe" window for me to enable. Using Squirrelmail doesn't show them either. Essentially what I am doing is taking my current IMAP dir structure, and making a copy in a subfolder called ".INBOX.Archive.<year>" to archive my old mail. Thus, .INBOX.Subfolder1.Subfolder2 becomes .INBOX.Archive.2009.Subfolder1.Subfolder2. My system: Ubuntu 8.04 # 1.0.10: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S ssl_listen: * disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login mail_privileged_group: mail mail_access_groups: mail default_mail_env: ~/.maildir mail_location: ~/.maildir auth default: mechanisms: plain login passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix

Dear Sirs, I want to know if there is any possibility to log the subjects of the messages downloaded from ther server. We use dovecot 1.0.15 with POP3S and IMAP and we want to keep a trace of the reading of messages by the users of our mail server (who, when and what are the subjects of the e-mail messages read) because some users complain that they did not read some messages but in the logs of the server (maillog files( those messages appear to be delivered to their inboxes.

[Dovecot] dsync convert Maildir -> mdbox, separators in subscriptions file
by Frode Nordahl 06 Jul '10

06 Jul '10

Hello, I'm playing around with Dovecot 2.0 beta 4. If I use dsync to convert a users mail stored in Maildir format to mdbox format, the subscriptions file in the new mdbox is created using the wrong mailbox separator ('.') leading to folders within folders not being readable by clients using the subscription feature. Excerpt from IMAP: . LIST "" "*" * LIST (\HasChildren) "/" "Spam" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Spam/Test" . LSUB "" "*" * LSUB () "/" "Spam" * LSUB () "/" "Spam.Test" I am not currently using Maildir, and have no plans to either, so I am very pleased with mdbox using '/' as seperator. I am considering to use Maildir as a transition format so that I can use allready available scripts to do the job (uw2dovecot.pl first, then dsync). So the question is, is this a bug in dsync? At the time of conversion mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir I used the following command to do the conversion: # dsync -u username convert mdbox:~/mdbox -- Frode Nordahl

[Dovecot] how to setup a simplest travel-mode read-only IMAP
by Seetamraju Uday Bhaskar Sarma 06 Jul '10

06 Jul '10

Hi All, I don't use gmail/hotmail etc... I have been a Mozilla/SeaMonkey/Thunderbird user for ever now... The mail and folders are all on my private fileserver. But on certain tours, I do know in advance that I would like IMAP access to my mail folders. Nothing but the simplest read-only access to the years of accumulated email. (All that email was soft-mounted onto /mnt/mail for safety and simplicity.) I have read the FAQ and Wiki. I even created the /cur /new /tmp folders under /mnt/mail... (after noting errors in dovecot logs) But when I test from another machine as :- # mutt -f imap://sarma@10.0.1.10/Inbox mutt comes up blank. I did check that /mnt/mail/Inbox exists, and has read permissions to all. Ideally, I don't want dovecot updating my mail files. I just simply want to read my old mail, while my new mail will continue to reside-on/be-accessible via the webmail. Thanks in advance! # /usr/sbin/dovecot --version 1.0.15 # /usr/sbin/dovecot -n # 1.0.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_processes_count: 1 login_max_processes_count: 2 mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: maildir:/mnt/mail:INDEX=/var/mail/dovecot/index:CONTROL=/var/mail/dovecot/lib:LAYOUT=fs mbox_dirty_syncs: no mbox_lazy_writes: no auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd

[Dovecot] Correct folder permissions for maildir....
by Donovan J. Edye 06 Jul '10

G'Day, I am trying to find a definitive answer to what the directory permissions should be for my configuration under Centos 5.5. I see a number of the following error messages in the maillog as a consequence of permissions errors. After reading the FAQ, Wiki etc. and browsing the web I am unable to determine just exactly what the user security settings should be for the offending folders. If anyone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. Should you require additional diagnostic information let me know and I will source it.

[Dovecot] ACL, forced INBOX subscription
by Matthias Rieber 06 Jul '10

06 Jul '10

Hi, I've two accounts 'matthias' and 'mailverwalter'. Mailverwalter want's to share the Spam folder: This is the situation in the beginning: (matthias) a LIST (SUBSCRIBED) "common." "*" a OK List completed. a LIST (SUBSCRIBED) "common.mailverwalter" "*" a OK List completed. (mailverwalter) a GETACL Spam * ACL "Spam" "mailverwalter" lrwstipekxacd a OK Getacl completed. a GETACL INBOX * ACL "INBOX" "mailverwalter" lrwstipekxacd a OK Getacl completed. So far so good. Mailverwalter sets the list permission: (mailverwalter) a SETACL "Spam" "matthias" l a OK Setacl complete. a GETACL "Spam" * ACL "Spam" "matthias" l "mailverwalter" lrwstipekxacd a OK Getacl completed. a GETACL "INBOX" * ACL "INBOX" "mailverwalter" lrwstipekxacd a OK Getacl completed. That's ok as well and I want to make sure that the INBOX doesn't have any other permission. After that, some listing: (matthias) a LIST (SUBSCRIBED) "common." "*" a OK List completed. a LIST (SUBSCRIBED) "common.mailverwalter." "*" a OK List completed. That's also ok, nothing subscribed. (matthias) a LIST "common.mailverwalter." "*" * LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "." "common.mailverwalter" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "common.mailverwalter.Spam" a OK List completed. This normal folder listing seems to be ok, too, and then listing of the subcribed folders again: (matthias) a LIST (SUBSCRIBED) "common.mailverwalter." "*" * LIST (\Subscribed \NonExistent) "." "common.mailverwalter.INBOX" a OK List completed. And then, the INBOX is subscribed and \NonExistent because I don't have permissions on it. The folder stays subscribed as long as I'm connected to the server. When I disconnect and do the LIST (SUBSCRIBED) again, the folder is not subscribed as long I do not 'normal' list it. Happens with dovecot 1.2.11, haven't tried 2.0 yet. I assume that's not the intended behaviour.

[Dovecot] SLES9: compile pigeonhole failed
by Andreas Schulze 06 Jul '10

06 Jul '10

Hello, I try to compile pigeonhole ( hg clone from yesterday ) on SLES9 I get the following error: ---- snip cd dovecot-2.0-pigeonhole ./autogen.sh configure.in:17: option `tar-ustar' not recognized autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1 --- snap automake-1.8.3 autoconf-2.59 I found something similar here: http://osdir.com/ml/science.robotics.orocos.devel/2006-03/msg00029.html "It seems this option (tar-ustar) is automake 1.9 only" Is the a workaround or something I can patch ?

[Dovecot] Jul 06 13:00:50 dovecot: Warning: I/O leak: 806ef10 (36)
by Dennis Clarke 06 Jul '10

06 Jul '10

I'm currently fighting my way through the dovecot configuration pages and endless options to see if I can just get my mail from the server. Thus far no joy but dovecot seems to be working if I could figure out the configuration. My process thus far has been : 1) read docs 2) try a config change 3) fail 4) goto (1) I just saw an error while trying to read my /var/mail/dclarke good 'ol mbox in the message.log : Jul 06 12:58:50 IMAP(dclarke): Error: mbox root directory can't be a file: /var/mail/dclarke/ (http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailLocation/Mbox) So I figure I better go read that page again and see what I did wrong this time. I guess this is wrong : mail_location: mbox:/var/mail/%u Even though that is where the mail actually is : # ls -lap /var/mail total 34 drwxrwxrwt 3 root mail 6 Jul 6 02:19 ./ drwxr-xr-x 47 root sys 47 May 30 02:52 ../ drwxrwxr-x 2 root mail 2 May 29 23:47 :saved/ -rw-rw---- 1 dclarke mail 0 Jul 5 16:01 dclarke -rw-rw---- 1 lucone mail 657 Jul 2 17:55 lucone -rw-rw---- 1 root mail 8705 Jul 2 05:40 root # I shutdown the dovecot service on Solaris via svcadm and saw this in the error log : Jul 06 13:00:50 dovecot: Warning: I/O leak: 806ef10 (36) Jul 06 13:00:50 dovecot: Warning: I/O leak: 806ef10 (30) Jul 06 13:00:50 dovecot: Warning: I/O leak: 806ef10 (26) Jul 06 13:00:50 dovecot: Warning: I/O leak: 806ef10 (24) I'm not too sure what that means but it doesn't look good.

[Dovecot] Multiple authentication backends
by Wouter van der Schagt 06 Jul '10

06 Jul '10

Good morning, I have a question. Currently we are using Dovecot to handle our pop3, pop3s, imap and imaps connections. Our virtual domain management backend is vpopmail. Which works beautifully. Our current setup requires users to login with their email address and password (user@domain). We are now looking at migrating another server to our environment where users are logging in with their username only. This is because unlike virtual users these mailboxes have corresponding system users on the server. Ideally we would like to migration for the end user as easy as possible without requiring them to make changes to their settings. Is it possible to configure Dovecot to handle multiple authentication back-ends or do any of you have found a solution to a similar problem before? Sincerely, - Wouter van der Schagt

[Dovecot] doveadm stop
by Andreas Schulze 06 Jul '10

06 Jul '10

hello I start dovecot via daemontools and use "dovecot -F". "doveadm stop" does correctly stop dovecot. Of course dovecot will restart not a second later. Is it possible, that "doveadm stop" detect that dovecot is started with -F an print an informational log ? I think, it's helpfull, because in this special setup "doveadm stop" can and will not do what the the user expects from the name. -- Andreas Schulze Internetdienste | P532 DATEV eG 90329 Nürnberg | Telefon +49 911 319-0 | Telefax +49 911 319-3196 E-Mail info @datev.de | Internet www.datev.de Sitz: 90429 Nürnberg, Paumgartnerstr. 6-14 | Registergericht Nürnberg, GenReg Nr.70 Vorstand Prof. Dieter Kempf (Vorsitzender) Dipl.-Kfm.

[Dovecot] NFS(4) IMAP Quota
by Martin Schanzenbach 05 Jul '10

05 Jul '10

Hi *, We use nfs4 in combination with dovecot. Also (hard)quotas are used on the exports. Using the dovecot quota fs plugin things did not work at all. There were a few issues we encountered: 1. Nfs4 is not recognized. The problem is that the mount type is only checked for "nfs" and not nfs4. This was an easy fix. 2. The (fs)path for nfs4 that is relayed to rquotad has to be without the leading "/". This was an easy fix, too. (borrowed from linuxquota: http://linuxquota.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/linuxquota/quota-tools/rquota_… ) 3. Maybe because we do not use softquotas the quota active boolean (rq_active) in the rquota struct is always false. So we hackishly removed this check. This problem also occured here: http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2009-May/039593.html Apparently quota-tools do not check for this either (not needed?). 4. As metioned above we only use hardquotas but the plugin only reports softquotas. In my patch below I changed the behaviour: Check softquota == 0. If true then use hardquota, else softquota. Maybe you can use some of those fixes. I think at least #3 is reproducible (see ml post). The hard vs softquota behaviour is certainly a matter of discussion. The nfs4 "fixes" are actually more like feature requests that I think should be added to the plugin in one way or another. I created a diff of my changes to quota-fs.c. The changes were tested only for nfs3/4 though.

Look at "doveconf -a service" output. For each service 1) that has service_count=1, the client limits have no effect. only a single client is ever served. 2) that has client_limit != 0, that limit is used 3) otherwise, default_client_limit is used

Here is 1.2.12 on opensolaris 2009.06 While that is very far away from production Solaris 8 it is a valid datapoint. However I did manage to find the ID-Ten-T error that I was having related to a CFLAGS switch of all things. # uname -a SunOS titan 5.8 Generic_127722-03 i86pc i386 i86pc # /opt/csw/sbin/dovecot --version 1.2.12 # /opt/csw/sbin/dovecot --build-options Build options: ioloop=poll ipv6 openssl Mail storages: maildir mbox raw shared SQL drivers: Passdb: checkpassword pam passwd passwd-file shadow Userdb: passwd passwd-file prefetch static If you wonder why it is compiled on a ten year old OS it is because of the Solaris ABI ( Application Binary Interface ) stability in which *anything* that compiles and runs on Solaris 8 will run everywhere else flawlessly. However, your dovecot compiled on that OpenSolaris beta release won't run anywhere else but on that machine. In fact, no promises on that[1] OpenSolaris release either. :-) Dennis [1] keep in mind that there ha never been a prod ready release of OpenSolaris. Maybe someday but Oracle isn't talking. :-(

[Dovecot] Replacing real inbox by virtual inbox
by François-Xavier Payet 05 Jul '10

05 Jul '10

Hello, I'm using dovecot 1.2.11 with virtual folders. I'd like to replace my real INBOX by a virtual one but I have several questions : * will my mail still be delivered to my real INBOX? * will I be able to access my real INBOX, for example using a virtual folder reliyng on INBOX * and, how to do it. Here's my problem, if I look to the wiki page [1], I don't really understand what the _NAMESPACE_1_INBOX_ and the _NAMESPACE_2_INBOX_ stands for. Plus, I can't put my paths in my scripts, as they use %d and %u (see below) which, if I understand correctly, aren't available for PostLoginScripts. Thanks for your help, -- François-Xavier Payet fx.payet(a)tfdn.org Jabber : fx.payet(a)tfdn.org Links: ------ [1] http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Virtual

[Dovecot] Dovecot git mirror
by David Woodhouse 05 Jul '10

05 Jul '10

I've been working on Evolution's 'imapx' back end to support QRESYNC, and was going to look at NOTIFY next. Then I realised I may have to look at implementing it on the server side first. Before I can even contemplate that, though, I had to mirror it into git. I've always resisted the one-version-control-system-per-child craze, and these days if I'm even contemplating a project which is using some other version control system, I'll start by importing it into a git repo. Thus: git://git.infradead.org/dovecot/dovecot-1.0 git://git.infradead.org/dovecot/dovecot-1.1 git://git.infradead.org/dovecot/dovecot-1.2 git://git.infradead.org/dovecot/dovecot-2.0 These are browsable in gitweb as: http://git.infradead.org/dovecot/dovecot-1.0 http://git.infradead.org/dovecot/dovecot-1.1 http://git.infradead.org/dovecot/dovecot-1.2 http://git.infradead.org/dovecot/dovecot-2.0 The mirrors are updated hourly, at 15 minutes past the hour. When making such a mirror, I usually try to ensure that it's imported in such a way that that the project maintainer(s) _could_ switch to using it as their primary VCS if they wanted to -- and a number of projects have actually done so. But I'm not arguing for that; I'm just making the repository available in git form in case it's useful to anyone else who, like me, doesn't really want to install and learn to use all of arch/hg/bzr/monotone/svn/etc for various different projects. No VCS flame wars please. -- dwmw2

[Dovecot] v2.0.rc1 released
by Timo Sirainen 04 Jul '10

04 Jul '10

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/rc/dovecot-2.0.rc1.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/rc/dovecot-2.0.rc1.tar.gz.sig All of the important features are implemented and all of the important bugs are fixed. The only thing I'd like to solve before v2.0.0 is that two people have said their doveconf fails when trying to convert old v1.x config file. I haven't been able to reproduce this, so if it happens to anyone I'd like to know about it (and even better, get access to a test system where it happens, since it doesn't seem to be caused by the config file itself). There's at least one installation that has already used v2.0 + mdbox for months in production. A lot of bugs have been fixed thanks to them. So I'm expecting this release to be rather stable and v2.0.0 hopefully won't be too far away from now. So the "rc1" tag really means that this is a release candidate. After a few weeks go by without any important bug reports, I'll release v2.0.0. Largest changes since beta6: - Added man pages, mostly written by Pascal Volk. They're also synchronized to wiki in http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools - dsync syntax changed, although it's still compatible with old syntax. see http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Dsync for new syntax - dsync backup command added - dsync should now be stable (in theory anyway, more testing would probably be a good idea) - LMTP proxying supports director - director should now be stable - Single-dbox should now be stable - mdbox locking behavior modified. when rebuilding indexes it can no longer fail with deadlocks - fsync_disable=no was renamed to mail_fsync = optimized (default) - fsync_disable=yes was renamed to mail_fsync = never. - added a new mail_fsync = always (basically what mail_nfs_*=yes also did before, but now it can be done without enabling NFS cache flushes) Plus lots of fixes, as usual.

[Dovecot] Dovecot and IPv6
by Steven King 03 Jul '10

03 Jul '10

Hello, I am trying to run Dovecot with IPv6 and IPv4. I have the following command in my conf: listen = * This makes Dovecot listen on all addresses on IPv4. I then add: listen = [::] So the conf now has both listen lines. This forces Dovecot to listen on all IPv6 addresses, but it no longer responds to requests on IPv4. Is there a way to get Dovecot to listen on both protocols? -- Steve King Senior Linux Engineer - Advance Internet, Inc.
