[Dovecot] meaning of parameter imap_idle_notify_interval??
by Ingo Thierack 05 Nov '09

05 Nov '09

Hello, is my understanding of the parameter "imap_idle_notify_interval" right, if i say, it's the time between two point where dovecot tells the client he is here, and sould have nothing directly todo with the notification of new mails arrived. I played with the values around. And the courios is, in thunderbird the folloing. set to 30 seconds. Thunderbird pop up around 25 seconds after the message is deliverd to the inbox. set to 60 seconds. Thunderbird pup up around 50 seconds after the message is deliverd to the inbox. I switch over from archiveopteryx, where no such delay was. Regards, Ingo

[Dovecot] Quota email
by Peter Fraser 05 Nov '09

05 Nov '09

Hi All Just a quick question. Is it possible for the postmaster to get an email when a user goes over quota or is close to it? That is, aside for using the same script used to alert the user?

[Dovecot] defunct in 1.24 on FreeBSD Alphaserver
by Paweł Kaczor 05 Nov '09

05 Nov '09

Hello, I've recently upgraded Dovecot from 1.1.16 to 1.2.4 on FreeSBD 6.3- RELEASE running on old Alphaserver 1200. Some time after this upgrade all user's MUAs showed error that user password was not accepted. I've noticed many zombies of imap and pop3 processes on my server (all in defunct state). Looks like when "login_max_processes_count" was reached, Dovecot canceled all new connections. I've setup completely new configuration based on http://wiki.dovecot.org/TestInstallation and no error was produced but every time I closed telnet the imap process became defunct. So, I tried to trace what was happening with ktrace: ktrace -d -f log -p pid_of_imap_process In attached file is a part of ktrace output at the moment when I close telnet connection. What is interesting (at last for me, but I'm lamer) is an error: 1576 imap 1256902587.568406 CALL close(0xffffffffffffffff) 1576 imap 1256902587.568448 RET close -1 errno 9 Bad file descriptor AFAIK, such error could be produced by inconsistent file system so I double checked OS and I'm 100% sure it's OK. At the very end of this history I had to switch back to 1.1.16 version of Dovecot which works OK now. I'll be very thankful if somebody could point me to explanation what can cause such strange behavior. Regards, Pawel Kaczor -- "A z kwiatków, jakie pan lubi najbardziej?

[Dovecot] IMAP goes down from time to time
by Juan Felipe Estrada 05 Nov '09

05 Nov '09

Good Morning I´m writing back cause the IMAP going down issue has changed a little, i still have the dovecot-1.0.7-7.el5 but with 2 changes; I added to the dovecot.conf the outlook-idle workaround, and the three login_processes parameters login_process_per_connection = yes login_processes_count = 3 login_max_processes_count = 128 Since I added this parameters the IMAP process has gone down just 1 time in 2 weeks, before this, the proccess was going down about 4 times a day so I think this is suitable, the next step i´ll take is to update the Dovecot.

[Dovecot] Why : dovecot_destination_recipient_limit = 1 ?
by Koenraad Lelong 03 Nov '09

03 Nov '09

Hi all, I'm trying to activate sieve. In all tutorials I have seen I need to set dovecot_destination_recipient_limit = 1 in Postfix's main.cf. Can anyone explain why ? I like to know because when I set this and the dovecot transport in Postfix, I'm having problems when aliasses are used that map to different recipients, i.e. info@... results in user1@..., user2@..., etc. The problems are an error from Postfix : Oct 30 09:25:19 lace3 postfix/pipe[19729]: 8A77E2D5B5B: to=<some.body(a)some.where.org>, relay=dovecot, delay=2390, delays=2390/0.04/0/0.01, dsn=4.3.5, status=deferred (mail system configuration error) Oct 30 09:25:19 lace3 postfix/pipe[19729]: warning: pipe flag `D' requires dovecot_destination_recipient_limit = 1 Thanks for any info. Regards, Koenraad Lelong.

[Dovecot] X.509 certificate based IMAP login
by dovecotlist＠encambio.com 03 Nov '09

03 Nov '09

Hello list, The dovecot version is 1.2.6 running on Solaris x86 11 (nv-b91). The relevant configuration lines are: passdb ldap { # LDAP database (doc/wiki/AuthDatabase.LDAP.txt.) args = /pfx/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf } The file dovecot-ldap.conf is correct and LDAP authentication is working well. We would like to make it possible for users with a X.509 client certificate to log in without providing LDAP or any other credentials. Is there something like: passdb x509 { args = /pfx/etc/dovecot/dovecot-caroots.pem nopwd = yes } ...avaibable, or is there another solution? Thanks, Brian

[Dovecot] second fs quota root crashes
by Juergen Obermann 03 Nov '09

03 Nov '09

Hallo. In our dovecot 1.2.6 server running under Solaris 9 I would like to set up a second quota root because the mail folders are in the users home directories and the inboxes of all users are in /var/mail. As soon as I add quota2 = fs:INBOX:noenforcing:mount=/var/mail the imap client crashes repeatedly as soon as the user tries to open a mail folder. Thanks for any help.

[Dovecot] Author wanted for Dovecot article in Linux Magazine (Germany)
by Markus Feilner 31 Oct '09

31 Oct '09

Hi list, I am an editor at the German Linux Magazine and I am searching for an author or input on Dovecot, its advantages and especially the recent features. I had organized some authors, but unfortunately they don't have time right now. :-) Nevertheless I heard many positive comments on Dovecot. I can write or help writing the article, but I would love to have some input from an experienced dovecot admin - perhaps with some stunning, unusual setup that might interest our readers (most of them are skilled admins and programmers...) Something that can't be easily done with other mail servers would be great, something spectacular that is suitable to convince an mail admin why he should migrate to Dovecot. It won't be long, just about 2-3 pages (a maximum of 15000 characters) including screen shots and/or listings, code, > 10 Links and an author's biography with photo. Anybody interested? That would be great, feel free to send me a mail to: mfeilner(a)linuxnewmedia.de Unfortunately, we don't have much time, there's only two weeks left, but I will help and do a lot of work for the article. And don't worry about language! :-) Thanks a lot! -- Best Regards - Mit freundlichen Gruessen Markus Feilner ------------------------- Feilner IT Linux & GIS Linux Solutions, Training, Seminare und Workshops - auch Inhouse Koetztingerstr 6c 93057 Regensburg Telefon: +49 941 8 10 79 89 Mobil: +49 170 3 02 70 92 WWW: www.feilner-it.net mail: mfeilner(a)feilner-it.net Bei Xing: http://www.xing.com/profile/Markus_Feilner -------------------------------------- My OpenVPN book - OPENVPN : Building and Integrating Virtual Private Networks http://www.packtpub.com/openvpn/book My new book - Out now: SCALIX Linux Administrator's Guide http://www.packtpub.com/scalix/book

[Dovecot] Dovecot in-house benchmarking
by Joseba Torre 30 Oct '09

30 Oct '09

Hi, Before some major changes in our infrastructure, I was interested in the performance impact of moving indexes to our NAS (Emc Celerra v5.5). So I downloaded both dovecot-1.1.19 and dovecot-1.2.6, compiled them and wrote 2 confs for each of them, one with local indexes and another with indexes in the NAS. Then I created 19 pam users, and tested system performance this way: - uninstall current installed version - install a new version - start dovecot - for each user run: imaptest user=user pass=pass host=localhost port=143 mbox=${MBOX} seed=123 secs=300 | tail -1 > file - stop dovecot I'm not sure if these tests are real, but our results are: * In our conf, 1.1.19 and 1.2.6 performance are roughly the same * Moving the indexes to our NAS makes the system 3 times slower As we currently only have 1 system accessing mails or indexes, I tried later with nfs_* = no, and mmap_disable = no. This makes performance 10% better in any situation. Our testing setup (very close to the real one) - Dell PowerEdge 2850, 2 P4 Xeon 3GHz, 3GB RAM - RHEL 4.7 (not sure about this, the last RHEL4) 32 bits - mailboxes are always in a nfs filesystem - for testing mbox file I've used dovecot-cvs.mbox I've attached a couple of graphs to show this results (I've a lot of them, but result are pretty close from one to another). Also, dovecot -n output for 1.2.6 with indexes in the NAS. Only needed changes have been applied from one conf to another. If you feel that the benchmark can be more "real" with some changes, just tell me. Also, if you are interested in the rest of graphs or date, tell me. Next week I'll be quite busy, but as soon as possible I'll test with an iSCSI disk for indexes. Aaaaaaaaaaagur. -- Joseba Torre. Vicegerencia de TICs, área de Explotación

[Dovecot] How to see if sieve is active ?
by Koenraad Lelong 30 Oct '09

30 Oct '09

Hi, I think I activated sieve, but it's doing nothing. I know manage-sieve works so I made some rules. But they do nothing. I ran sieve-test, which seems to work, but does not move the mail I test. Is this how it works ? I thought the -e parameter just "tested" the rules and did nothing and my command was supposed to do the "real thing". I read there should be a log. I don't find this, how should I enable this ? I just found that lda can have a separate log. I'll enable this and see. I read the wiki-page different times, but I don't see what I'm doing wrong. I attached some files. Sieve-test.txt is the command and output from sieve-test. Phpscript.sieve is the file .dovecot.sieve points to, and dovecot-config is my dovecot config ;-). Thanks for any pointers.

[Dovecot] dovecot-shared and shared "\Seen" flags
by Dave 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

(Running Dovecot 1.1.0) Is it possible to either - (a) Still have shared "\Seen" flags even while using the dovecot-shared file or (b) Indicate to Dovecot in some way other than the dovecot-shared file which permissions to use for any messages created? The problem is, in my shared folder (using symlinks) scenario I am using, I have to use the dovecot-shared file to make sure new messages get written with the correct user and group permissions so that everyone appropriate can access them, but I still would like the functionality of the shared "\Seen" flags in these shared/symlinked folders (which having dovecot-shared seems to knock out). Is it possible to do both somehow? Dave

Option (a) sounds like the cleanest solution, but a bit of testing showed that Postfix doesn't wait on deliver before replying to DATA so this seems to always result in a bounce. I've perused the postfix documentation but so far no luck; if anyone reading this has any insight on how we might configure postfix to behave this way, could you please let me know (maybe offlist would be best, as this may be considered somewhat off-topic). We are using something similar to option (b) currently, but it's not really an elegant approach and we would really like to move away from it. Option (a) sounds great, if we can somehow get it to work. TIA, Marty

[Dovecot] Question about Windows Mail for Vista IMAP client
by Stewart Dean 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

When TBird logs on, it does it quietly, that is it opens one or two logins. When you start working it'll open a few more. Quiet, no thrashing around When WM4Vista opens, it appears to login and disconnect (immediately) once for every folder a person has. 20 folders, 20 logins and disconnect, ripple fire. Anybody have an idea why WM4V is so busy and TB is quiet doing the same thing? I fell over this doing testing on V1.2.6 but find it's also the case back on my production V1.1.15 -- ==== Once upon a time, the Internet was a friendly, neighbors-helping-neighbors small town, and no one locked their doors. Now it's like an apartment in Bed-Stuy: you need three heavy duty pick-proof locks, one of those braces that goes from the lock to the floor, and bars on the windows.... ==== Stewart Dean, Unix System Admin, Bard College, New York 12504 sdean(a)bard.edu voice: 845-758-7475, fax: 845-758-7035

[Dovecot] Wish-list: X-Delivered-To headers generated by dovecot-deliver
by Andrzej Adam Filip 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

Would it be sensible/"cost effective" to make dovecot-deliver generated X-Delivered-To header(s) based on command line parameter(s)? [after striping such existing headers, before consulting sieve] I need it to: a) *clearly* mark POP/IMAP account fetched by fetchmail [with fetchmail using directly dovecot-deliver in --mda option] b) cleanly implement "shared mailboxes" with MTA such as sendmail that can be easily forced to generate "one header per one recipient" [AFAIK] -- [pl>en: Andrew] Andrzej Adam Filip : anfi(a)onet.eu Order and simplification are the first steps toward mastery of a subject -- the actual enemy is the unknown. -- Thomas Mann

[Dovecot] Multiple LDAP Userdb lookups
by David 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

Hello one & all, I understand it is possible to do multiple lookups for userdb info of different types, for instance a local "real" account & virtual MySql lookups. Is it possible to do two separate ldap lookups to differnt parts of the same AD domain? I have a config file to do my authentication lookup against the domain. Then I have a 2nd config file for the userdb lookups which uses ldap to query our AD for their userdb info. I need to query a 2nd part of the AD for another group of users & unfortunately putting all users into one container isn't possible. So, if I add another ldap stanza to dovecot.conf will I break anything? Cheers, David. This email is confidential and is intended solely for the use of the parties to whom it is addressed.

[Dovecot] Thunderbird and Trash folder
by Stefan Onken 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

Hello, I have my problems with the Trash folder in thunderbird. Most of the times (it did work, but only for a short period) Thunderbird is not considering the "Trash" folder (or in my case the "Papierkorb") as the trash folder. The symbol disappears and I am not able to delete folders. Deleted emails are disappearing at all. The usual Google solutions like maildir vs. mbox doesn't help a lot, I am using maildir and the directory structure looks fine. I noticed that I have two trash folders, one with "INBOX.", one without. That may be a problem with Squirrelmail, because I am using both Thunderbird and Squirrelmail. Any idea to solve this issue with Thunderbird ? Thank you, Stonki Dovecot -a: http://www.pastebin.org/49066 Directory structure: http://www.pastebin.org/49067

[Dovecot] Multiple SSL certs question
by Jean-Baptiste Vignaud 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

Hello; I was reading the message "how to config dovecot for multiple domains, multiple SSL certs, and conditional IP access -- with passwd-file passdb?", and i was wondering if Dovecot could support the SNI extention of TLS ? SNI is Server Name Indication where during the TLS negotiation, the client set the name of the server it tries to reach I dont know if any imap/pop client support this yet, but this would be a great feature for one IP/multiple virtual domains. Each SNI client would have the correct certificate and not the "main/generic' one. It seems that mutt has a patch for that http://www.mail-archive.com/mutt-dev@mutt.org/msg05251.html

[Dovecot] Hundreds of auth-worker sockets in /etc/dovecot

I run dovecot 1.2.6, before last update I had 1.2.2. on Debian Lenny. I noticed that my config directory /etc/dovecot is filled up with hundreds of old auth-worker.12345 sockets. I guess they should have been cleaned up, is there a misconfiguration? When I remember right, this did not happen with dovecot 1.1.

I'm very new to Linux and especially Dovecot. We are using Dovecot IMAP/POP3 for mail services. I was moving mail from one user account to another new account and the mail just disappeared. Do I have a way to recover the mail? Please help Duane

[Dovecot] listing available subscriptions - shared mailboxes
by Hendrik Pahl 28 Oct '09

28 Oct '09

hi everybody, got a strange issue with 1.2.4 on SLES11. When listing the user's available subscriptions with any client, every shared mailbox that can be subscribed is listed twice, once with it's correct name, 'folder' for example. the second appereance is without the last letter of the name, 'folde' for example. strange behaviour, since this happens with any client. i hope somebody know what is wrong here. thanks in advance, hendrik -- LWsystems GmbH & Co.

[Dovecot] Dovecot

Hello all, I use dovecot11-1.1.7-1.4.1 with OpenSuse 11.1. Everything works fine, except the vacation with managesieve. When i send a mail to an address with vacation, i recieve back a vacation message, but i read an error like this into dovecot-deliver.log: Error: file_dotlock_create(~/.dovecot.lda-dupes) failed: No such file or directory And then the vacation is send any time, without limits. I think the problem is dovecot can't find home directory for the mail to write the .dovecot.lda-dupes, but i don't know how to specify that.

[Dovecot] Sieve vacation with russian subject
by Nikita Koshikov 28 Oct '09

28 Oct '09

Hello list, I have noticed that sieve vacation action breaks some non-english letters in the subject. I tested with russian language, if subject contains letters from specific diapason russian alphabet, the message received with unreadable subject, but text in the body with the same letters looks ok. Here is example of full subject header, it contains russian alphabet: Subject: абвгде�?жзийклмноп�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�? Maybe this headers will be usefull: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit .dovecot.sieve file looks correct, here is it: require ["vacation"]; # rule:[test] if anyof (true) { vacation :days 1 :addresses ["user(a)domain.com"] :subject "абвгдеёжзийклмнопрстуфхцчшщъыьэюя" text: Тестовое русское сообщение(Test russian message). ; } I'm running dovecot-1.1.16 with dovecot-sieve-1.1.6 and managesieve-0.10.6. Please tell, is it possible to fix this ?

[Dovecot] antispam-plugin 1.2 and trailing carriage-returns
by Karsten Bräckelmann 28 Oct '09

28 Oct '09

Guys, Dovecot 1.0.15 [1], just built the latest antispam-plugin 1.2 (tarball) for testing, mailtrain backend for SA integration. Both built from custom spec files. The mail that is being trained is different than its respective source in the mbox file. The trained one shows added, trailing carriage-return chars for all headers, which are not in the headers in the mbox file. This breaks sa-learn -- both these variations are different, and SA would learn *both* when run against each one separately. How comes? Any insight? How could I fix this, other than wrapping the sa-learn inside another shell script and have sed strip off the noise? This becomes more of an issue, once I switch from sa-learn to the lightning-fast spamc training variant. TIA guenther [1] Yes, I know, sorry. Don't want to change everything at the same time, and the target system I'm experimenting for runs that version, too. -- char *t="\10pse\0r\0dtu\0.@ghno\x4e\xc8\x79\xf4\xab\x51\x8a\x10\xf4\xf4\xc4"; main(){ char h,m=h=*t++,*x=t+2*h,c,i,l=*x,s=0; for (i=0;i<l;i++){ i%8? c<<=1: (c=*++x); c&128 && (s+=h); if (!(h>>=1)||!t[s+h]){ putchar(t[s]);h=m;s=0; }}}

[Dovecot] Dovecot, Shared Mailboxes (via symlink), and ACLs
by Dave 28 Oct '09

28 Oct '09

Hello! I just joined the list and will be happy to help where I can in my limited experience, but also come to the table with a question. I think there's something I'm missing regarding shared mailboxes and ACLs, so I will describe my situation and see if I am understanding correctly (running Dovecot 1.1.10). I have read over the Dovecot Wiki many times and have scoured many forums but still can't seem to find a solution. I have an IMAP mailbox that is working fine (user imapuser), so the maildir and related structure is in: /home/imapuser/Maildir I have another IMAP mailbox for another imap user, newuser1, also working fine, with maildir and related structure in: /home/newuser1/Maildir I have created a symlink under newuser1's Maildir to imapuser's Maildir so as to give newuser1 access to the things in imapusers's inbox. I have also symlinked inside the newuser1 Maildir to a folder under imapusers's inbox, let's call it "MailingList", basically settiing up something like: /home/newuser1/Maildir: cur/ .imapuserinbox -> /home/imapuser/Maildir .imapusermailinglist -> /home/imapuser/Maildir/MailingList new/ tmp/ (... and various other Dovecot-related files, nothing ACL related.) Now, I have gotten the shared boxes to work IF I changed the permissions to be rwx for user and group on /home/imapuser/Maildir/*, but this makes procmail (and .procmailrc) unhappy and it starts sending things to mbox files (old system) instead of sending them on to the Maildir. So that doesn't seem to work. Which led me to ACLs. Now, I've tried (after enabling the two appropriate lines in dovecot.conf and restarting dovecot, etc) both per-directory ACL files and global ACLs, and while I can get some things to *change* as viewed by my mail client, I can't seem to create consistent behavior. I know that's fairly vague, but it's like I'll change something in the global ACL and folders are affected that I wouldn't anticipate, based on what I'm understanding of ACLs. So, in the example above, if I enable global ACLs, what names do I use to refer to those shared boxes I'm trying to access? Do I use the link name I made, .imapuserinbox or .imapusermailinglist (without leading periods), like /etc/dovecot/acls/imapuserinbox, or is it based off of the original dir name? Like do I need something like /etc/dovecot/acls/MailingList ? What about the "inbox" I'm sharing in /home/imapuser/Maildir, how do I reference that? Is there a way to do it without affecting or changing permissions of other IMAP users and inboxes on the same system? One thing I am receiving consistently in the error logs is: mail dovecot: IMAP(newuser1): stat(/home/newuser1/Maildir/.imapuserinbox/tmp) failed: Permission denied (euid=152(newuser1) egid=100(usergroup) UNIX perms seem ok, ACL problem?) So it seems if I get the ACL stuff right, I will be in business. Any ideas?? Thanks for any help anyone can give!! Dave

[Dovecot] 1.1 Quota Question
by Marty Anstey 28 Oct '09

28 Oct '09

Hi, I'm not sure if this question has been asked before but some googling hasn't turned up anything really relevant. We are currently running Dovecot 1.1.16 & Postfix; maildir++. When a message arrives for a mailbox which is over quota, it is bounced. Obviously, this isn't very desirable; the primary downside to this is that when junk mail hits a full mailbox it's bounced to that recipient of the message. On a busy mail system, that could potentially get us blacklisted pretty quickly. Ideally we would like to reject the messages inline. Is there an easy way to set this up? Thanks, Marty

[Dovecot] Error: userdb lookup
by kfx 28 Oct '09

28 Oct '09

Hi list, I am trying to get rid of the "Error: file_dotlock_create(~/.dovecot.lda-dupes) failed: No such file or directory" by adding home directories to my virtual users (ldap). I want this home dir' to be specified like this: /var/vmail/$USER/home/ and the sieve scripts to go to: /var/vmail/$USER/home/sieve/ So as suggested before in this list, I have replaced: user_attrs = mailMessageStore=mail,mailQuotaSize=quota_rule=*:bytes=%$ by user_attrs = mailMessageStore=mail,mailQuotaSize=quota_rule=*:bytes=%$, =home=/var/vmail/%u/home But then the userdb lookup fail and it tells me this in the log: deliver(user@mydomain): Error: userdb lookup: connect(/usr/local/var/run/dovecot/auth-master) failed: No such file or directory This is strange because: a. the socket is at /var/run/dovecot/auth-master b. it is working flawlessly with the original user_attrs value So I am thinking that this setting is totally ignored by dovecot at some point.

[Dovecot] dovecot.log file permissions and ownership
by Jerry 27 Oct '09

27 Oct '09

Using FreeBSD-7.2 and Dovecot v1.2.4 what user does dovecot use to write to its log file? I have the logfile located in the /var/log directory. I have Postfix configured to use 'virtual' users and use dovecot for delivery. While dove can write to the file when accessed for POP services, when accessed via Postfix, I get this error message: Oct 25 07:02:15 scorpio postfix/pipe[56956]: B01BD2287E: to=<user(a)domain.com>, relay=dovecot, delay=220, delays=220/0.01/0/0.04, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (temporary failure. Command output: Can't open log file /var/log/dovecot.log: Permission denied ) I have used the following ownership types for the file: 1) root:wheel 2) dovecot:dovecot 3) root:dovecot 4) dovecot:wheel The only thing that works all the time is to give the file full r/w (0666) permission. That seems extreme. -- Jerry gesbbb(a)yahoo.com |::::======= |::::======= |=========== |=========== | A nuclear war can ruin your whole day.

[Dovecot] SetUID check problem
by Thomas Berezansky 27 Oct '09

27 Oct '09

Running dovecot 1.2.4 on FreeBSD using Postfix. Everything works fine normally, but deliver is executable by world. This is not normally a problem, as I don't run deliver SetUID root. But for whatever reason, when deliver is called by something that IS SetUID root I get the following error: /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver must not be both world-executable and setuid-root. This allows root exploits. See http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA#multipleuids Deliver's permissions look like this: -r-xr-xr-x While the program calling deliver has permissions like this: -r-s--x--- If it isn't possible for deliver to differentiate between being called by setuid root programs and being setuid root itself I don't think it should be doing that particular security check. Alternatively, there should be an option to turn that particular check off, but what little I saw of the source code and found searching the documentation told me that there doesn't seem to be such an option already. I also couldn't find any mention that this is fixed by 1.2.5 or 1.2.6. Thomas Berezansky Merrimack Valley Library Consortium

[Dovecot] Test environment question
by Stewart Dean 27 Oct '09

27 Oct '09

I want to test out my first V1.2 Dovecot (upgraded from V1.1) instance. What I have in mind to do is to run it on another machine that has the Inbox dir and homedirs NFS import mounted from the production mailserver. I then have 5 people test it in this test environment.... A) Then I can deal with the index filesystem in one of two ways: 1) Make it local OR 2) NFS import it from the production DC server Comments as to which is best? I have used #1 before...which caused some temporary unhappiness with the switchover and switchback....during which time the index is badly wrong and DC auto-rebuilds it... B) Is there anything else I should do/not do? C) Any ugliness that will surface in this testing lashup but isn't important? -- ==== Stewart Dean, Unix System Admin, Henderson Computer Resources Center of Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson, New York 12504 sdean(a)bard.edu voice: 845-758-7475, fax: 845-758-7035

[Dovecot] Multiple identities
by Koenraad Lelong 27 Oct '09

27 Oct '09

Hi, I recently moved from courier-imap to dovecot, to be able to work with managesieve. I use version 1.2.5, on suse 10.3. I used the script to migrate the courier maildir to dovecot format. It seems to work fine except for one problem : I use a number of aliasses and with Thunderbird I can select which alias (e-mail-address) to use as my identity when sending a mail. I sniffed with wireshark, and with my standard identity, I see the message appended to "Sent", like I expect. If I use an alias, I see a folder being created : "INBOX.Sent", and then the message is appended there. Why the difference ? I'm trying to debug this but dovecot does not help much. I tried rawlog but there is no output (that I see) from it, no log-files in my maildir. Any hints how to proceed ?

[Dovecot] Multiple postfix + single dovecot - optimal configuration
by Tomek 26 Oct '09

26 Oct '09

Hello, I want to setup dovecot with two postfix servers on three machines: - dovecot - with huge amount of disk space - where all user emails will be kept, - postfix1 - with greylisting, amavisd-new (spamassassin, clamav, etc), with mysql backend, - postfix2 - same as postfix1. MX priority will be set to the same value for both postfix machines. For now I don't know how to "glue" these severs: - if I should install dovecot on both postfix and use third servers as a NFS share? - or maybe it is possible to communicate with dovecot on third server via LMTP? - or should I run third postfix daemon (without antyspam etc - simple configuration) on the same machine as dovecot only for delivering local mails? I will be grateful for any advice, howto or good practices example. -- Regards, Thomas.

[Dovecot] protocol configure confusion
by Stewart Dean 26 Oct '09

26 Oct '09

The docs say: > > *protocol*s = imap *imaps* > *Protocol*s we want to be serving: imap *imaps* pop3 pop3s If you > only want to use dovecot-auth, you can set this to "none". > and..... > > If you want to specify ports for each service, you will need to > configure these settings inside the *protocol* imap/pop3 { ... } > section, so you can specify different ports for IMAP/POP3. For example: > > # *protocol* imap { > # listen = *:10143 > # ssl_listen = *:10943 > # .. > # } > So if I want to run both imap and imaps AND configure the port, do I do: # *protocol* imap { # listen = *:143 # ssl_listen = *:10943 # } OR # *protocol* imap { # listen = *:143 # } # *protocol* imaps { # listen = *:993 # }
