[Dovecot] Doubts about namespace && thunderbird.
by Beto Moreno 14 Dec '09

14 Dec '09

Hi people. I ask this because I'm confuse about the namespace stuff. I setup a server with Centos 5.4(updated)+dovecot 1.0.7+postfix 2.3.3. We use thunderbird 2.0.x as our default email client. I want to use courier-imap inbox layout: Inbox-- sent junk trash draft The inbox as father of the tree, other post say something about a namespace like this: separator = . prefix = Inbox. inbox = yes If I make this, thunderbird go crazy and tell me each time I try to access a user mail that :server respond-->unknown namespace, with this my layout is: Inbox Trash But if I try to access Trash, is went he send me that error and none of my users could access those folders. What is the problem with this? Now if I comment the namespace, my folders goes below the father(Inbox) u could not see the different. Last thing, how can I setup a global layout where each user the first time they log-in thunderbird could make: Trash, Draft, Sent? Thanks!!!

[Dovecot] expire-tool and userdb returned mail location
by Tapio Sokura 14 Dec '09

14 Dec '09

Hello, I'm having problems with expire-tool in Dovecot 1.2.6 not finding the mailboxes. I had mail_location = mbox:/var/spool/dovecotmail/%d/%n/mails:INDEX=/var/spool/dovecotmail/%d/%n/indexes in dovecot.conf, but that doesn't work with expire-tool. So I commented that out from dovecot.conf, all the data is in a database anyway. A userdb lookup returns the following for userid@domain: home = /var/spool/dovecotmail/domain/userid/ mail = mbox:/var/spool/dovecotmail/domain/userid/mails:INDEX=/var/spool/dovecotmail/domain/userid/indexes Now when running expire-tool --test, I get this: Error: Namespace '': Mail storage autodetection failed with home=/var/spool/dovecotmail/domain/userid/ Info: User lookup failed: userid@domain When I run expire-tool under strace, I can see that it is indeed looking for the mails in the typical autodetect locations (Maildir, mail, Mail) under user's home directory. So it appers that expire-tool takes the home directory from userdb, but ignores mail location returned by userdb? Tapio

[Dovecot] IMAP server to move sent mail according to maildroprc?

The whole problem lies in a desire to use these two things in the same time: 1. maildrop filters file for all users messages (to place sent mail right); 2. store / access mails from mailserver, which is also a relayhost. Maybe there are some suggestions in this list on how should I solve the problem?

[Dovecot] outlook 2007 mailbox sort order
by Frank Cusack 12 Dec '09

12 Dec '09

What are people doing to affect the sort order of mailboxes in outlook? Apple Mail and MS Outlook similarly suck in that they do not sort '~' correctly -- mailboxes starting with '~' are first instead of last. At least I think this is the fault of the client, since Mulberry sorts correctly. At least with Apple Mail I can drag and drop mailboxes into any display order I like, so at least after the fact it can be "corrected". I want to provide shared, virtual and lazy_expunge mailboxes. I'd like these to be last in the list of mailboxes. This doesn't seem possible with Outlook unless I prefix the names with 'zz' or similar. yuk. -frank

[Dovecot] v2.0 post-login scripts
by Timo Sirainen 12 Dec '09

12 Dec '09

Post-login scripts work a bit differently in v2.0, because the old way just couldn't work anymore. I suppose at some point I should fork the wiki to v1.x and v2.x and start writing these things there, but for now I'll just write it here: First you'll need to tell imap service that it should connect to postlogin service: service imap { executable = imap imap-postlogin } Then you'll need the imap-postlogin service: # The service name below doesn't actually matter. service imap-postlogin { executable = script rawlog /tmp/test.sh unix_listener imap-postlogin { } } The "script" executable does all the magic. If you want multiple scripts, just make them a chain, like above script first executes rawlog, and rawlog then executes /tmp/test.sh: #!/bin/sh echo "* OK Hello $USER ($IP -> $LOCAL_IP)" export MAIL=maildir:/tmp/test export USERDB_KEYS="$USERDB_KEYS mail" exec $* So it's pretty similar to how it works before, except now you'll also need to update $USERDB_KEYS to contain all environments that you want to pass to imap process.

[Dovecot] id/permissions question
by Kārlis Repsons 11 Dec '09

11 Dec '09

People, There is an imap client, which runs with user1 uid, but when its accessed to watch a maildir, whose (and its contents) ownership is user1:user1, this error occurs: dovecot: IMAP(user1): fchown(/path/user1/dovecot-uidlist.tmp, -1, 12(mail)) failed: Operation not permitted (egid=1000(user1), group based on /path/user1) dovecot.conf contains this line: mail_privileged_group = mail authentication happens through passwd-file, where for user1 its uid and gid are specified as in /etc/passwd and /etc/group. So how should dovecot be told to use user1 group instead of mail group? (or it needs some other solution?)

[Dovecot] Problem using LDAP generating Userhome
by Thorsten Habich 11 Dec '09

11 Dec '09

Hi there, I'm trying to let dovecot generate the userhome directory dynamicly via user_attr. If "uid" is returned from LDAP before "mail" everything is fine, but if "mail" is delivered before "uid" the localpart of the mailaddress is used in home path. e.g.: Mail: testuser(a)domain.de UID : test123 sometimes home is /mail/store/testuser and sometimes /mail/store/test123 depending on the order the ldap server replies. I'm currently using version 1.2.7 of dovecot in testing and 1.1.6 in production. Both have the same "bug". Mails are stored on nfs, indexes are stored local. This is my dovecot-ldap.conf configuration: pass_filter = (|(&(objectClass=mailRecipient)(mail=%u))(&(objectClass=mailRecipient)(mailalternateAddress=%u))(&(objectClass=mailRecipient)(uid=%n))) pass_attrs = uid=user,userPassword=password,mailMessageStore=home=%$/telefonica.de/%Ln,mailFilterStore=sieve_dir=%$/telefonica.de/%Ln user_filter = (|(&(objectClass=mailRecipient)(mail=%u))(&(objectClass=mailRecipient)(mailalternateAddress=%u))(&(objectClass=mailRecipient)(uid=%n))) user_attrs = uid=user,mailMessageStore=home=%$/telefonica.de/%Ln,mailFilterStore=sieve_dir=%$/telefonica.de/%Ln The filter needs to be that way, because you need to be able to authenticate by uid or mailaddress. And the dovecot -n output: # 1.2.7: /etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.18-92.1.13.el5 x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.2 (Tikanga) base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/ log_path: /var/log/dovecot.log info_log_path: /var/log/dovecot-info.log log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S syslog_facility: local1 protocols: imap managesieve listen(default): *:143 listen(imap): *:143 listen(managesieve): *, [::] ssl: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(managesieve): /usr/libexec/dovecot/managesieve-login login_greeting: IMAP mail server ready. max_mail_processes: 200 mail_max_userip_connections(default): 50 mail_max_userip_connections(imap): 50 mail_max_userip_connections(managesieve): 10 verbose_proctitle: yes first_valid_uid: 1 mail_privileged_group: vmail mail_uid: 500 mail_gid: 500 mail_location: maildir:~/:INDEX=/mail/index/%Ln/ mailbox_idle_check_interval: 10 mail_debug: yes mmap_disable: yes mail_nfs_storage: yes mail_nfs_index: yes lock_method: flock mbox_write_locks: dotlock fcntl mail_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(managesieve): /usr/libexec/dovecot/managesieve mail_plugins(default): expire autocreate mail_plugins(imap): expire autocreate mail_plugins(managesieve): mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(managesieve): /usr/lib64/dovecot/managesieve imap_client_workarounds(default): delay-newmail outlook-idle netscape-eoh tb-extra-mailbox-sep imap_client_workarounds(imap): delay-newmail outlook-idle netscape-eoh tb-extra-mailbox-sep imap_client_workarounds(managesieve): managesieve_implementation_string(default): dovecot managesieve_implementation_string(imap): dovecot managesieve_implementation_string(managesieve): Cyrus timsieved v2.2.13 namespace: type: private separator: . prefix: INBOX. inbox: yes list: yes subscriptions: yes namespace: type: public separator: . prefix: Public. location: maildir:/mail/store/a.backend/shared list: yes subscriptions: yes lda: hostname: xxx mail_plugins: sieve expire mail_plugin_dir: /usr/lib64/dovecot/lda auth_socket_path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master postmaster_address: xxx(a)telefonica.de sieve_global_dir: /mail/store/backend/sieve/ auth default: mechanisms: plain login username_format: %Lu verbose: yes debug: yes process_size: 512 passdb: driver: ldap args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf userdb: driver: ldap args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf socket: type: listen client: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-client mode: 432 user: postfix group: vmail master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 user: vmail group: vmail plugin: sieve: ~/%Ln.sieve sieve_dir: ~/sieve sieve_storage: ~/ expire: Trash 7 Trash/* 7 Junk 30 expire_dict: proxy::expire autocreate: INBOX.Trash autocreate2: INBOX.Drafts autocreate3: INBOX.Sent autosubscribe: INBOX.Trash autosubscribe2: INBOX.Drafts autosubscribe3: INBOX.Sent dict: expire: db:/var/lib/dovecot/expire.db Thanks in advanced.

[Dovecot] Dovecot Sieve some rules not working
by tobi 11 Dec '09

11 Dec '09

Hope this list is the right place for a question about dovecot sieve. I have some rules of which some are working and some are not. I cannot understand why two rules wont work. }elsif header :comparator "i;ascii-casemap" :contains "from" "EMAILADDRESS" { fileinto "Computer &- Security.Foren &- Maillists.Synology.Forum"; stop; } elsif header :comparator "i;ascii-casemap" :contains "from" "EMAILADDRESS" { fileinto "Computer &- Security.Foren &- Maillists.PHP-Resource"; stop; } elsif header :comparator "i;ascii-casemap" :contains "subject" "*****SPAM*****" { fileinto "Junk E-mail"; stop; } else { keep; } The first one works as expected. But the second and third one don't work and emails matching those rules remain in INBOX. There are not errors in the errorfile in users home directory. The only thing I changed was to move the Folder "Computer &- Security" and changed the fileinto destinations accordingly. The folder "Junk E-mail" was not moved but the rule that worked before is not working anymore. I have no clue why only part of the rules work and where I could check what the problem coud be. Thanks for any help/hints Cheers tobi

[Dovecot] Account Migration Tool
by dmiller＠amfes.com 10 Dec '09

10 Dec '09

I don't know if this tool already exists, or if not how difficult it would be to implement, but the following is an excerpt from the man page the developer needs to write ;) - "imapcopy", a command-line utility that connects to a given IMAP account and copies the mails to a second IMAP account. This is accomplished using only IMAP commands and may be used with any IMAP compliant server - and may be used to copy mails between servers. Command line options include the ability to delete the messages after the copy (resulting in a move operation), selectively filter mail folders, and auto-folder creation. -- Daniel

[Dovecot] dovecot: Fatal: Time just moved backwards by 3909 seconds.
by Udo Rader 10 Dec '09

10 Dec '09

Hi, after setting up a KVM based virtual guest on one of our virtualization servers, we see dovecot die on that virtual guest regularly because of an alleged time shift. The virtual guest is Centos 5.4 based with dovecot 1.2.8 (at first we also tried with the original 1.0.7 (?) dovecot shipped with Centos). I wrote "alleged time shift" because there is no timeshift whatsoever, or at least I don't notice it anywhere else. ntp is - of course ;-) - up and running and no other applications have time troubles and I've even disabled the local clock as a time reference. As a proof that the time did not shift see this log excerpt: ------CUT------- Nov 29 14:02:22 athesia dovecot: IMAP(atester): Connection closed Nov 29 14:04:11 athesia dovecot: imap-login: Time just moved backwards by 4397 seconds. This might cause a lot of problems, so I'll just kill myself now. http://wiki.dovecot.org/TimeMovedBackwards ------CUT------- So as you see, dovecot successfully logged a message on 14:02 and then complained about the time having shifted 4397 seconds on 14:04 ... Thanks in advance -- Udo Rader, CTO http://www.bestsolution.at http://riaschissl.blogspot.com

[Dovecot] Overriding Default Subscription Behavior
by Tony Rutherford 10 Dec '09

10 Dec '09

The subscription files we're migrating from have a "." for folder separation. We will be using Dovecot's maildir with LAYOUT=fs. It's looking for "/" as the separator in the subscription file. So, obviously we could simply write a script to swap the two characters. However, just curious if there are any options for doing this within a plugin (since we're already doing some things in a plugin) by overriding some of the subscription code.something like the "next_line()" in subscriptions.c. I don't see any vfuncs in this area, aside from set_subscribed() I believe.but maybe there's a better spot I'm not thinking of? One thing I've learned with Dovecot is that it somehow supports things I didn't believe it could/would, so I thought I'd ask. Tony

[Dovecot] PostgreSQL connection bug
by Daniel Howard 10 Dec '09

10 Dec '09

Hello, There seems to be a bug which can affect systems using PostgreSQL as a user or password database. Usually there is just one postgres connection, but if the query fails for any reason, the failed connection is left open and dovecot will keep opening new connections for each auth attempt. I discovered this with a setup using PAM, AND a database to authenticate. Most users login with an account number (integer) which is looked up in the postgres database. Some users have a unix system account, and use their system username to log in (string). Dovecot was set up to check the database first, then try PAM. When a system user logged in, the SQL query failed because it couldn't coerce the system user's username into an integer. In these cases, Dovecot would still fall back to PAM authentication, and the user would log in, but the postgres connection would remain stuck. Gradually the number of connections would increase until postgres failed. I worked around this by converting the account numbers in the database from integers to strings. Now the query never fails and there's only ever 1 dovecot connection. Hopefully this will help someone. dovecot --version 1.0.15 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 mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir auth default: passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd userdb: driver: prefetch cat dovecot-sql.conf | egrep -v "^#" driver = pgsql connect = host=localhost dbname=rapidgroup user=dovecot password=********* default_pass_scheme = PLAIN password_query = SELECT userid as user, password, userdb_mail, userdb_uid, userdb_gid FROM dovecotview WHERE userid='%u' Cheers, Dan

[Dovecot] Not receiving Local Mails
by Alexander 10 Dec '09

10 Dec '09

Hi, I have already set up DOVECOT + POSTFIX mail server and I can send and receive mails outside my Domain. The problem however is that LOCAL Mail is not working. When I send LOCAL mails, it leaves my system without error messages but it is not received by the recipient. How do I make LOCAL mails work? Regards Alexander

[Dovecot] SASL plain authentication failed; unable to lookup user record
by JP 10 Dec '09

10 Dec '09

i'll guess the solution to my problem will be something simple and obvious, because i know i ain't the first person to do this and it ain't all that complicated, but i've been staring at it for days and can't see what's wrong. new installation; os x snow leopard server; postfix 2.5.5; dovecot 1.1.17apple0.5 i'm trying to get SMTP auth working via SASL. using a plain password scheme and plain auth scheme over SSL. client is apple mail. deliveries are working, and dovecot's pop3s and imaps are working just fine. my configuration is the same simple config that is well documented on both the postfix and dovecot sites. when i attempt to use smtp auth from a mail client, postfix says SASL plain authentication failed unable to lookup user record smtp authentication also fails if i use the usual command line method: # telnet localhost 25 Escape character is '^]'. 220 osx-106.example.com ESMTP Postfix EHLO foobie.example.com 250-osx-106.example.com 250-PIPELINING 250-SIZE 10485760 250-VRFY 250-ETRN 250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN CRAM-MD5 250-STARTTLS 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES 250-8BITMIME 250 DSN AUTH PLAIN blah blah blah 535 Error: authentication failed i've scoured months worth of postfix and dovecot list archives and although there are many sasl related issues i didn't see anything specific to this. as expected, the socket is srw-rw---- 1 _postfix _postfix 0 Dec 4 08:51 /var/spool/postfix/private/auth lsof shows the socket is open by dovecot-auth (which is running as root): dovecot-a 63614 root 5u unix 0x0888b990 0t0 /var/spool/postfix/private/auth i have not seen the socket opened by postfix, but i'm assuming that is a transient event and would be difficult to capture (at least with lsof). so both postfix and dovecot have read/write access to the socket. the credentials sent are the same whether they're sent via a true pop3 client or via the command line. when sent via the command line, they're generated via perl -MMIME::Base64 -e 'print encode_base64("\0username\0password");'and i've verified they're correct via decode_base64 config stuff: # postconf -n biff = no command_directory = /usr/sbin config_directory = /etc/postfix content_filter = smtp-amavis:[127.0.0.1]:10024 daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix debug_peer_level = 2 enable_server_options = yes header_checks = pcre:/etc/postfix/custom_header_checks html_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix/html inet_interfaces = all mail_owner = _postfix mailbox_size_limit = 0 mailbox_transport = dovecot mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq manpage_directory = /usr/share/man message_size_limit = 10485760 mydomain = example.com mydomain_fallback = localhost mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8,192.168.61.0/24 newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases queue_directory = /private/var/spool/postfix readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix recipient_delimiter = + relayhost = sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix/examples sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail setgid_group = _postdrop smtpd_client_restrictions = permit_mynetworks permit_sasl_authenticated reject smtpd_enforce_tls = no smtpd_helo_required = yes smtpd_helo_restrictions = reject_invalid_helo_hostname reject_non_fqdn_helo_hostname smtpd_pw_server_security_options = plain, login cram-md5 smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated permit_mynetworks reject_unauth_destination check_policy_service unix:private/policy reject smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot smtpd_tls_CAfile = /etc/certificates/osx-106.example.com.E2FA6EFB8203E2E09C605D30A179669E4B4F69EB.chain.pem smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/certificates/osx-106.example.com.E2FA6EFB8203E2E09C605D30A179669E4B4F69EB.cert.pem smtpd_tls_exclude_ciphers = SSLv2, aNULL, ADH, eNULL smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/certificates/osx-106.example.com.E2FA6EFB8203E2E09C605D30A179669E4B4F69EB.key.pem smtpd_use_pw_server = yes smtpd_use_tls = yes unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550 virtual_alias_maps = virtual_gid_maps = static:5000 virtual_mailbox_base = /etc/postfix/datastore virtual_mailbox_domains = osx.example.com virtual_mailbox_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/datausers virtual_minimum_uid = 100 virtual_uid_maps = static:5000 # dovecotd -n # 1.1.17apple0.5: /private/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf Warning: fd limit 256 is lower than what Dovecot can use under full load (more than 456).

[Dovecot] Cannot read mdir inbox.
by Marc Dufour 10 Dec '09

10 Dec '09

Problem: Dovecot is totally and merrily oblivious to maildir INBOX installed in the usual /var/spool/mail/%u Software/system: Dovecot 1.2.8 running under Fedora 12 with 1.9 gig RAM + AMD Athlon LE-1640 CPU on a ASUS M3A78-EM motherboard (uname -a = Linux 2.6.31.6-162.fc12.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Dec 4 00:06:26 EST 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux ) Dovecot has been installed from the Fedora repositories, not recompiled from scratch. System has only one hard disk and is on one ext4 LVM partition. My configurations are http://emdx.org/Dovecot/dovecot.confA.txt for "dovecot -a" http://emdx.org/Dovecot/dovecot.confN.txt for "dovecot -n" The mail is properly delivered by Exim in the proper place. Using a client (Thunderbird 3), if I copy some messages in the INBOX, they stay there, but they are nowhere to be found in the /var/spool/mail/%u directory. User mail is in ~/Maildir. I tried to make a symlink pointing to /var/spool/mail/%u and, of course, it does not work. I also tried giving chmod 666 to all files in /var/spool/mail/%u (and chmod 777 for the directories), this makes no difference. Otherwise, Dovecot works flawlessly and without no problems whatsoever in ~/Maildir. I can transfer huge volumes of email from the future old server and everything is rock solid. I just can’t get the INBOX. I would rather not fiddle with Exim and have it deliver the mail into ~/Maildir Google has been stellarly inefficient in helping me find solutions.

[Dovecot] Virtual mailboxes not always up to date?
by Patrick Nagel 10 Dec '09

10 Dec '09

Hi, I have been experimenting with the Virtual mailboxes plugin [1] recently. This is my setup: the following dovecot-virtual file exists in a virtual mailbox called "todo": ------ dovecot-virtual ------ * -Trash -Trash/* -Spam -Spam/* OR KEYWORD $TODO KEYWORD todo ----------------------------- so if any mail in any mailbox except Trash+Spam has the keyword "$TODO" (that's what KMail sets when you mark a message as "action item") or "todo" (that's what Thunderbird sets when you put the Todo tag on a message), it should be shown in that 'todo' virtual mailbox. This works for the first time after I edit the dovecot-virtual file and then access the virtual mailbox (all mails I expect to be shown in the todo mailbox are there) - but further accesses always show the same content, even though I removed the keyword from one of the mails (and I can confirm that the keyword has actually been removed by dovecot, since the filename doesn't contain the letter corresponding to the keyword anymore). It seems that changing the dovecot-virtual file triggers the execution of the "search program" - but shouldn't simply accessing the virtual mailbox also trigger it? Or is there a (undocumented?) timeout between search program executions? Patrick.

[Dovecot] Patch: event port-based ioloop and notify
by Emanuele Pucciarelli 10 Dec '09

10 Dec '09

Greetings, thanks to all of you who work on Dovecot! I have prepared a small patch to support Solaris 10 and Opensolaris' event port mechanism for both the ioloop and the notify subsystems. It seems to work fine for me, but I haven't conducted any extensive testing. It would be great if someone could review and/or test it (and if it could eventually enter the code base). I have uploaded a copy at http://cr.opensolaris.org/~e.p/dovecot/dovecot-01-fen.diff . Thanks! -- Emanuele

[Dovecot] Mail.app + dovecot 1.2 + POP3
by Rodolfo Gonzalez Gonzalez 10 Dec '09

10 Dec '09

Hello all, I have an user with MacOS X 10.5 Mail.app 3.5, which is connecting using POP3 to a dovecot 1.2 server. He has a 512 kbps link, which he saturates downloading large files. While the bandwidth is saturated, Mail.app shows the POP3 account as "offline" (I haven't used that client, but it seems that it doesn't retry the connection if it fails at some moment). He argues that he has some other POP3 and IMAP4 accounts configured in the same app, and those accounts never go "offline" even if the bw usage is at 100% (those other accounts are not on my servers and I don't know which sw are they using). My question is, could dovecot be somehow involved in this "offline" issue? (something like the past IDLE issues with Outlook 2007?) Thanks in advanced.

Re: [Dovecot] After upgrading to 1.2 - absolute path questions
by Richard Stockton 09 Dec '09

09 Dec '09

Hi Timo, Okay, I'm confused now... Here is what we are using with 1.1.19: password_query = SELECT password, home as userdb_home, 5000 as userdb_uid, 5000 as userdb_gid FROM mailbox where userid = '%n' mail_location = maildir:/mail/%h:INDEX=MEMORY The "/mail/" dir contains 26 NFS mounted partitions. Will this still work in 1.2? I have been holding off upgrading because it sounded like I would have to add the "/mail/" prefix to all the "home" directories in my user DB, and with 5 instances of Dovecot running off the same DB, I would have to shut down the pop/imap servers for the upgrade, something that would NOT make my boss happy. However, if I can leave the configs and the database as they are, the update will not be a big problem. Please let me know if I can use the old configs with Dovecot 1.2.x, I would love to be using the latest and greatest. And BTW, thanks again for all your hard work, Dovecot is a wonderful piece of software, and we really appreciate it! - Richard

[Dovecot] v2.0.alpha3 released
by Timo Sirainen 09 Dec '09

09 Dec '09

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/alpha/dovecot-2.0.alpha3.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/alpha/dovecot-2.0.alpha3.tar.gz.sig Nothing horribly exciting since alpha2, but since I did other releases I thought I might as well release this one too. - Most of the stuff in master.conf is now built into binaries so the file itself is small. dovecot -n also doesn't show the defaults anymore. - Settings now have size and time types. So instead of always wondering if the units are bytes or kilobytes or megabytes, you can just use e.g. 100k, 100M values. And the same for 100 secs, 100 mins, 100 hours, etc. - verbose_proctitle=yes was pretty useless in alpha2 after the pre/post-login changes. I've now enabled Linux proctitle hack that allows changing process title (in ps). It now shows e.g. the current command being executed by imap process. There is also some hope of getting a proper setproctitle() function to Linux, the patch just got to -mm code tree today! - anvil process now stays alive across SIGHUPs. So "doveadm who" no longer forgets users after SIGHUP. - remote_ip IP {} and local_ip IP {} changed to remote host|IP {} and local host|IP {}, i.e. if it's not an IP Dovecot does host name lookup. - Using host names is also important to get TLS SNI working. With TLS SNI support if client supports it, you can serve multiple certificates with a single IP address. - LMTP server adds now Received: header - Fixes to LMTP server - Fixes to dsync Some of the larger changes left: - plugin API probably needs to be changed, so that it's possible to handle multiple users by same process but with different plugins - config process is too slow - rawlog no longer works because of how pre/post-login works now. it probably needs to be changed into a service and configured something like: service imap-rawlog { executable = rawlog imap-real /home/%u unix_listener imap { } } service imap { unix_listener imap-real { } } The point would be that when imap-login connects to imap, it actually connects to rawlog which then connects to imap-real and starts proxying the connection. A few problems: 1) userdb lookup is done by imap process, so rawlog doesn't know user's home directory. Perhaps more code could be added so that rawlog requests imap process to send it back, but maybe that's too much trouble. That's why I thought just adding a 3rd /home/%u parameter, where rawlog expands %u to username since that's at least known. 2) Currently it's not possible to remove default internal unix_listeners, so the above config wouldn't actually work anyway. I guess there needs to be some new syntax like "!unix_listener imap" or something that removes it.. Then again, a nice thing about this is that the rawlog will work with all types of services, even imap-logins, although that's going to be almost useless for SSL connections.

[Dovecot] How do i translate the old default_mail_env setting?
by Gary Kline 09 Dec '09

09 Dec '09

Hi, First, I am new to dovecot. Before my Jan '08 meltdown, sendmail was sufficient. A friend set up dovecot and since things just-worked, I was happy with that. Now I have a new mailserver and what was installed nearly two years ago fails. My pal installed things in dovecot.conf this way: default_mail_env = maildir:~/Maildir but the new mail environment is too different to be readily understood. --At least for me!-- The "%u" variable is confusing; so in the "%h" ($HOME [?]) variable... Would the following edit work on my old conf file: mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir ? tia, gary kline -- Gary Kline kline(a)thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix http://jottings.thought.org http://transfinite.thought.org The 7.31a release of Jottings: http://jottings.thought.org/index.php

I debugged and realized that patched plugin generates - for search "xxx yyy": q=body:"XXX YYY*" It should be: q=body:XXX* +body:YYY* (not q=body:"XXX*" +body:"YYY*" - quotation does matter) But this does not work as expected. Prefix searches (with asterisk) are case-sensitive. I googled around and found this post - http://michaelkimsal.com/blog/solr-case-sensitivty/comment-page-1/#comment-… . It is old - 2007, but it looks SOLR is still case-sensitive for *. Because of dovecot capitalizes query (and this is right, I think), the search will never find a thing. I played with Solr admin for 3 evenings and I have to say - its behaviour is strange. For example, if I send several emails with body of 2 words: "xxx yyy", "yyy xxx", "xxX yYY" etc. - different case and different word order - it does not find "xxx" in all emails. Maybe Solr 1.4 is not production-ready yet and 1.3 is better. But it is enough for me, maybe I will return to it in next year. Now I will try to apply your changeset (fts-squat: Fixed searching multi-byte characters) to dovecot 1.2.4 (debian stable). If you think 1.2.8 is better, I will follow your recommendation.

[Dovecot] LDA: handling non-existent mail dirs
by Edgar Fuß 09 Dec '09

09 Dec '09

We have users existing in LDAP but not supposed to receive mail. We used to handle that (somewhat ungracefully) by simply not creating the top mail directory for those accounts. Since switching to Dovecots LDA, these non-existing dirs are considered temporary failures and so the junk mails pile up in postfix' queue Would it be possible for deliver to optionally treat this as a permanent error? I know the clean solution woud be checking for an LDAP attribute in postfix before even accepting the mail.

[Dovecot] dovecot v 1.28 and virtual folders
by Jim Richard 09 Dec '09

09 Dec '09

I haven't been able to make this work. I've experimented with different settings in my dovecot.conf for hours. I have a simple single user ubuntu setup, nothing fancy and would just like to have a virtual "unread" folder of my main INBOX, for use with Squirrelmail So, with just this, all good... subfolders look like .INBOX.duplicates for example in the file system namespace private { separator = . location = maildir:~/Maildir inbox = yes } now, when I try to add a virtual namespace namespace private { subscriptions = yes list = yes inbox = no prefix = virtual. separator = . location = virtual:~/Maildir/virtual } ~/Maildir/virtual does exist in the filesystem, I can "subscribe" to virtual but if I try to create a sub folder of it I get ERROR: Could not complete request. Query: CREATE "virtual.test" Reason Given: [CANNOT] Can't create virtual mailboxes Squirrelmail is great because it has some nice IMAP testing tools, so for example, with my current dovecot config I can test the NAMESPACE command, is that the correct response? Request: A003 NAMESPACE Response: * NAMESPACE (("" ".")("virtual." ".")) NIL NIL Namespace completed. I'm sure the issue is a fundamental lack of understanding of a concept here ... Any help would be appreciated. thank you, -Jim

[Dovecot] mailboxcasecmp()
by Frank Cusack 09 Dec '09

09 Dec '09

I remember way back, i'd modified the dspam training plugin to compare mailbox names case-insensitively. that patch wasn't accepted. i didn't understand why since it was obviously correct and had no negative impact, at least i didn't think so. Now I've hit another case where case-insensitive mailbox names would be useful: +addressing. If I have a mailbox 'Ext' and I send mail to frank+Ext@, the LHS is lowercased to 'frank+ext' and the +extension delivery doesn't find the 'Ext' mailbox. If the +extension is going to be lowercased, then the mailbox names should be lowercased when looking for them. Or, since 'ext' and 'Ext' can co-exist, the +extension shouldn't be lowercased when looking for the mailbox. I prefer the former (lowercase everything), since it's unlikely a user would create both 'mailbox' and 'Mailbox', however I can envision plenty of times where users would try to use '+ext' yet create the '+Ext" mailbox and never be able to figure out why it doesn't work. I know the latter solution (case sensitive extensions and case sensitive mailboxes) is more correct but really it will be harder to debug user problems. -frank

[Dovecot] different views of a imap account
by Ajaxster 09 Dec '09

09 Dec '09

Hi, I've looked around a few times to see if I could figure the answer to this question but I think I may not know the right question to ask... The scenario I have is that I'm running dovecot, exim and procmail on one server (using maildir storage) and also have apache on another server. I can run squirrel mail, roundcube, etc. all on the web server and access all my email just fine. I can run outlook or thunderbird or other imap clients just fine too. I have some smart phones that support imap mail servers, but when I set them up to connect to my server, the client seems to have to sync up data on all the mailboxes (lots of headers to download). All I really want on my remote (phone based) imap clients is to view my inbox. I believe that the subscriptions are done globally in that every client sees the same subscriptions, so that doesn't seem like the way to narrow down what my phone imap clients see. Does what I'd like to do make sense? Is there a way to configure dovecot to support this? Could I just run two servers on the same machine at different ports to support this? I'd love to hear about how others have approached this or similar problems. I've seen a lite email client that can be run on an apache server that wap browsers can access to view mail. That works okay, but with phones having built in imap clients, that seems like a more streamlined way to go ;-) Thanks for you thoughts! -- Jay

[Dovecot] rquota in dovecot-1.2.8-0_103.el5.x86_64.rpm
by David Warden 09 Dec '09

09 Dec '09

Is rquota purposefully not present in the RPM at http://atrpms.net/dist/el5/dovecot/dovecot-1.2.8-0_103.el5.x86_64.rpm.html ? On a test machine I decided to give dovecot 1.2 a go with that RPM and everything went great except I was getting the following error in the dovecot log (and quota was not working): Dec 9 10:50:43 webmailtest2 dovecot: IMAP(auser) rip=127.0.0.1: quotactl(Q_GETQUOTA, nfsserver.geneseo.edu:/vol/email/users) failed: No such file or directory I had seen some messages on the mailing list talking about making sure you build with HAVE_RQUOTA defined at compile time. I wasn't able to determine if the RPM on the aforementioned page was simply missing the rquota code, but upon building the SRPM from the same place (http://atrpms.net/dist/el5/dovecot/, SRPM itself is http://dl.atrpms.net/all/dovecot-1.2.8-0_103.src.rpm) I saw HAVE_RQUOTA fly by and the rquota source files get built and linked, and when using those binaries rquota started working. I scanned the changelog for the binary RPM for something indicating that rquota support had been taken out but didn't see anything. Apologies if this is better sent to the package maintainer; I'm hoping he checks this list or someone has already run into this and can set me (and anyone else who may run in to this problem) straight. -David Warden

[Dovecot] Different Formats Per User?

08 Dec '09

For migration possibilities, we're considering whether it's possible to have Dovecot run some users using standard Maildir format, while other users would be using filesystem (LAYOUT=fs) format? We could determine which one's users have, but is there a way to tell Dovecot this information, and is it even part of the Dovecot design to deal with this scenario? Thanks, Tony

[Dovecot] DELE before QUIT

Hi folks I'm new to Dovecot. I'm wonderng if it's a way that dovecot delete a message just after the DELE POP3 command and not just mark the message for deletion and wait until the QUIT command is received. The main reason is for slow and unstable links fetching mail this is madness. Any suggestions? David
