[Dovecot] Expire plugin: wrong mailbox separators in database?
by Andreas Ntaflos 16 Oct '09

16 Oct '09

Hi all, I'm experimenting with the expire plugin and seem have run into a small problem. I am using Dovecot 1.2.4 on a test server. The config is taken mostly verbatim from the expire plugin wiki page [1], using MySQL as a database. See below for detailed output. Namespace "private" has "/" configured as mailbox separator: namespace private { separator = / prefix = inbox = yes } The "expire =" section from dovecot.conf thus looks like this: plugin { expire = Trash 7 INBOX/Spam 8 INBOX/Spam/To-Discard 3 ... } Three mailboxes/folders are kept track of: Trash, INBOX/Spam and INBOX/Spam/Spam-To-Discard (this one holds messages that scored high enough to very unlikely be legitimate and should be deleted soon). But when a message is put into one of these folders the mailbox attribute of the expires table uses "." as mailbox separator: mysql> select * from expires; +-----------------+----------------------------+--------------+ | username | mailbox | expire_stamp | +-----------------+----------------------------+--------------+ | foo(a)example.org | INBOX.Spam.Spam-To-Discard | 1253114526 | | foo(a)example.org | INBOX.Spam | 1253114528 | +-----------------+----------------------------+--------------+ Consequently, expire-tool --test seems to choke on this: # dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/expire-tool --test Info: foo(a)example.org/INBOX.Spam.Spam-To-Discard: \ mailbox 'INBOX.Spam.Spam-To-Discard' removed from config Info: foo(a)example.org/INBOX.Spam: mailbox 'INBOX.Spam' \ removed from config When I manually update the mailbox attribute to use "/" as separator expire-tool seems to work correctly: # dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/expire-tool --test Info: foo(a)example.org/INBOX/Spam/Spam-To-Discard: stop, expire \ time in future: Wed Sep 16 17:22:06 2009 Using "." as separator in the "expire =" line doesn't work either: the expires table isn't written to at all when a message is put in one of the specified folders. Presumably because INBOX/Spam is the real mailbox but INBOX.Spam is monitored by the expire plugin and there is no INBOX.Spam to put in messages. So I believe this is not the expected behaviour? Or am I doing anything wrong? I'd rather not change the separator from "/" to "." in all the namespaces if that can be avoided. Thanks in advance, Andreas dovecot -n: ========== # 1.2.4: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 i686 Debian 5.0.2 log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: managesieve imap imaps pop3 pop3s listen: 83.65.168.220 127.0.0.1 login_dir: /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login login_executable(managesieve): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/managesieve-login mail_access_groups: mail mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir mail_drop_priv_before_exec: yes mail_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_executable(managesieve): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/managesieve mail_plugins(default): autocreate acl expire mail_plugins(imap): autocreate acl expire mail_plugins(pop3): expire mail_plugins(managesieve): mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(managesieve): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/managesieve namespace: type: public separator: / prefix: Public/ location: maildir:/var/mail/public:CONTROL=~/Maildir/control/public:INDEX=~/Maildir/index/public list: yes namespace: type: private separator: / prefix: Backup/ location: maildir:~/Maildir-backup hidden: yes list: no namespace: type: private separator: / inbox: yes list: yes subscriptions: yes lda: log_path: info_log_path: auth_socket_path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master postmaster_address: postmaster(a)mailtest0.rise-s.com mail_plugins: sieve acl expire auth default: mechanisms: plain login passdb: driver: pam passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: passwd userdb: driver: static args: uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/var/vmail/%Ld/%Ln allow_all_users=yes socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 user: vmail plugin: expire: Trash 7 INBOX/Spam 5 INBOX/Spam/Spam-To-Discard 3 expire_dict: proxy::expire sieve: ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir: ~/sieve sieve_global_path: /etc/dovecot/sieve/default.sieve sieve_global_dir: /etc/dovecot/sieve/global/ sieve_before: /etc/dovecot/sieve/before/ autocreate: Trash autocreate2: Drafts autocreate3: Sent autocreate4: INBOX/Spam autocreate5: INBOX/Spam/Spam-To-Discard autosubscribe: Trash autosubscribe2: Drafts autosubscribe3: Sent autosubscribe4: INBOX/Spam autosubscribe5: INBOX/Spam/Spam-To-Discard acl: vfile:/etc/dovecot/acl dict: expire: mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-expire.conf /etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-expire.conf: ===================================== connect = host=127.0.0.1 dbname=mailserver user=mailuser password=xxx map { pattern = shared/expire/$user/$mailbox table = expires value_field = expire_stamp fields { username = $user mailbox = $mailbox } } The expires table: CREATE TABLE expires ( username varchar(100) not null, mailbox varchar(255) not null, expire_stamp integer not null, primary key (username, mailbox) ); [1] http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Expire -- Andreas Ntaflos Vienna, Austria GPG Fingerprint: 6234 2E8E 5C81 C6CB E5EC 7E65 397C E2A8 090C A9B4

[Dovecot] Error (IMHO) with --with-doc option
by Jacek Osiecki 16 Oct '09

16 Oct '09

Hi, I was trying to create complete rpm package for my system, containing dovecot 1.2.5 intregrated with dovecot-sieve and dovecot-managesieve. Finally I succeeded and it works great, but I found something that might be treated as wrong behaviour... When you run ./configure --with-docs=no, Makefile does not build docs anymore, but... installs them anyway :) It caused some troubles because rpmbuild complained about documents moved to <buildroot>/usr/share/doc/dovecot I have created a small patch that fixes this - hope it doesn't introduce any mess: diff -Nur 2/Makefile.in 1/Makefile.in --- 2/Makefile.in 2009-09-29 00:17:22.000000000 +0200 +++ 1/Makefile.in 2009-09-29 00:17:38.000000000 +0200 @@ -75,7 +75,7 @@ distclean-recursive maintainer-clean-recursive ETAGS = etags CTAGS = ctags -DIST_SUBDIRS = src doc +DIST_SUBDIRS = $(SUBDIRS) DISTFILES = $(DIST_COMMON) $(DIST_SOURCES) $(TEXINFOS) $(EXTRA_DIST) distdir = $(PACKAGE)-$(VERSION) top_distdir = $(distdir) Best regards, -- Jacek Osiecki joshua(a)ceti.pl GG:3828944 I don't want something I need.

[Dovecot] Questions regarding dbox migration
by Mikkel 16 Oct '09

16 Oct '09

It has been my wish to move to dbox for a long time hoping to reduce the number of writes which is really killing us. Now I wonder what may be the best way of doing so. I'm considering some sort of intermediate migration where the existing Maildir users are changed to single-dbox and then later upgraded to 2.0 and changed to multi-dbox when it becomes stable. But is this a reasonable task to perform on a production system or at all? The alternative is to wait for 2.0 to become completely stable and then go all the way at once. I would however much prefer to take it one step at a time and I think it would be safer to start out with single-dbox as it appears less complex. Now the big question is whether multi-dbox and single-dbox are compatible formats. If a Maildir->dbox migration is made on a system running dovecot v. 1.1, would it then be trivial later changing to multi-dbox after upgrading to 2.0 or is a completely new migration then needed? Would this scenario be much different if the system is upgraded to version 1.2 before the change to single-dbox? Kind regards, Mikkel

[Dovecot] dovecot 1.2.6 fails to build with openssl < 0.9.8
by Paul Howarth 16 Oct '09

16 Oct '09

The update of ssl_proxy_get_security_string() in dovecot 1.2.6 has broken compatibility with openssl < 0.9.8 (e.g. on RHEL4) because the functions SSL_COMP_get_name and SSL_get_current_compression don't exist until openssl 0.9.8 (build fails at link time due to these symbols being unresolved). I've worked around this by reverting the function to the 1.2.5 version for now but I think a better solution would be to have a configure test for these functions and only include the SSL compression details when they're available. Cheers, Paul.

[Dovecot] is it possible to fetch messages for multiple users using a single account?
by Tony Smith 16 Oct '09

16 Oct '09

Dear list, I am running dovecot with LDAP. Each account has email in form abc(a)example.com, and messages are stored at /var/vmail/abc/Maildir. This is an external mail server, and I would like to use a cron job to fetch all messages to an internal server which has slow internet connection. It seems getmail supports multidrop retriever which might fit the bill. However I could not figure out how to set up an account that can be used to fetch all messages for all virtual accounts. Is it possible at all? thanks, Tony PS: here is my config: # dovecot -n # 1.1.13: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.26-2-openvz-amd64 i686 Debian 5.0.3 log_path: /var/log/dovecot.log protocols: pop3 pop3s imap imaps managesieve listen(default): * listen(imap): * listen(pop3): * listen(managesieve): 127.0.0.1:2000 ssl_cert_file: /etc/ssl/certs/cert.pem ssl_key_file: /etc/ssl/private/key.pem disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-login login_executable(managesieve): /usr/lib/dovecot/managesieve-login mail_uid: 1000 mail_gid: 1000 mail_location: maildir:/%Lh/Maildir/:INDEX=/%Lh/Maildir/ mail_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 mail_executable(managesieve): /usr/lib/dovecot/managesieve mail_plugins(default): quota imap_quota zlib mail_plugins(imap): quota imap_quota zlib mail_plugins(pop3): quota zlib mail_plugins(managesieve): mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(managesieve): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/managesieve pop3_client_workarounds(default): pop3_client_workarounds(imap): pop3_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh pop3_client_workarounds(managesieve): sieve_storage(default): sieve_storage(imap): sieve_storage(pop3): sieve_storage(managesieve): /var/vmail/sieve/%Ld/%Ln/ sieve(default): sieve(imap): sieve(pop3): sieve(managesieve): dovecot.sieve auth default: mechanisms: plain login default_realm: river-valley.com user: vmail passdb: driver: ldap args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf userdb: driver: ldap args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/dovecot-auth mode: 438 user: postfix group: postfix master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 438 user: vmail group: vmail plugin: quota_warning: storage=85%% /usr/bin/dovecot-quota-warning.sh 85 quota_warning2: storage=90%% /usr/bin/dovecot-quota-warning.sh 90 quota_warning3: storage=95%% /usr/bin/dovecot-quota-warning.sh 95 quota: maildir quota_rule: *:storage=100M expire: Trash 7 Trash/* 7 Junk 30 expire_dict: proxy::expire auth_socket_path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master dict: expire: db:/var/lib/dovecot/expire/expire.db

[Dovecot] virtual Folder Plugin with "." Separator: [NONEXISTENT] Mailbox doesn't exist
by Elmar Weber 16 Oct '09

16 Oct '09

Hello, I've switched from courier-imap to dovecot to benefit from the virtual folder feature. I'm using dovecot 1.2.6 on Gentoo Linux. However, I', getting the message "[NONEXISTENT] Mailbox doesn't exist: <name>" from Thunderbird when I try to access any virtual folder. The relevant setup: mail_location = maildir:~/.maildir namespace private { separator = . inbox = yes hidden = yes list = yes } namespace private { prefix = virtual. separator = . location = virtual:~/.maildir/.virtual } I then created the folders ~user/.maildir/.virtual and ~user/.maildir/.virtual.test and placed a file in .virtual.test with the contents ====== * all ====== After a dovecot restart I'm getting the error message: "[NONEXISTENT] Mailbox doesn't exist: test" Where did I make the mistake in the configuration? Is the "." path separator a problem case? ciao, Elmar

[Dovecot] Missing folders
by John Moorhouse 16 Oct '09

16 Oct '09

I've recently had a oops with the system I was running dovecot on so have had to move it to a new machine, I've been able to retrieve the mbox files from the old machine, built the new machine and over wrote the new mbox files with the old one in maildir, connecting to the server via imap woeks but I can only see the mail in the inbox from the old mbox files, emails in sub directories (the sub directories arn't there), is there some command I need to run to get it to pass the mbox file to find the folders or it there another file I need to transfer form the old machine. (I'm assuming that all the emails for a user, including those in subfolders are within the single mbox file, particularly as I'm is very large) Thanks John

[Dovecot] Dovecot lock problem
by Simon Gao 16 Oct '09

16 Oct '09

Hi, We have a few users experiencing locking problem. When starting Thunderbird, there is no new emails in Inbox. Dovecot createa a lock file /var/spool/mail/<user>.lock. It never completes openning Inbox. If closing the mail client, the open imap session does not get closed, nor the lock file get deleted. Here are the errors in log: dovecot: Oct 13 11:18:35 Warning: IMAP(user1): Our dotlock file /var/mail/user1.lock was deleted (kept it 88 secs) dovecot: Oct 13 11:18:35 Error: IMAP(user1): file_dotlock_delete() failed with mbox file /var/mail/user1: No such file or directory We are running Dovecot 1.1.2. Any pointer to resolve this problem is appreciated. Simon

[Dovecot] MailDIR and expire plugin
by Jerry 16 Oct '09

16 Oct '09

All of the mailboxes on this system are in MailDIR format. None of the users delete mail off of the server after POPing their accounts. This is the present setting: expire = Trash 7 Spam 30 expire_dict = proxy::expire Is that correct for MailDIR style mailboxes? It doesn't appear correct; however, I have not been able to find any specific documentation on expire with MailDIR style mailboxes. I am assuming that the expire plugin will work since IMAP has not been implemented on this server. -- Jerry |::::======= gesbbb(a)yahoo.com |::::======= |=========== |=========== | QOTD: "Wouldn't it be wonderful if real life supported control-Z?"

[Dovecot] Dovecot 1.2.6 segfault in imap_fetch_begin
by Brandon Davidson 16 Oct '09

16 Oct '09

We recently upgraded from Dovecot 1.2.4 to 1.2.6 (with the sieve patches of course). Everything has been running quite well since the upgrade. The occasional issue with assert-crashing when expunging has gone away. However, one of our users seems to have triggered a new issue. She's been the only one to see it, but whenever she logs in, her imap process segfaults immediately. It appears that the crash is a null pointer deref in the array library, but I'm not sure what code is at fault for calling in without checking array validity... or even if I'm on the right track. Backtraces and some further information are available here. Cores available on request. http://uoregon.edu/~brandond/dovecot-1.2.6/bt.txt Thanks, -Brad

[Dovecot] 1.2.6 Spurious pread()/stream errors/index corruption

Hi, We're currently testing 1.2.x with a move from 1.1.x in mind however with the current 1.2 series we are encountering some serious problems. simply editing the main conf and restarting dovecot gives these errors seemingly randomly: (some previous posts indicated this might be todo with 64bit file offsets so we've played around with disable-largefile and setting _FILE_OFFSET_BITS manually but without any success) ---- error while reading main dovecot conf file Unexpected eof found when reading file 'UNOPENED' (Errcode: -1) Panic: file istream-file.c: line 80 (i_stream_file_read):

[Dovecot] Deliver - can't connect to .../auth-master
by iain＠brightbooks.co.uk 15 Oct '09

15 Oct '09

Dovecot version 1.1.11 Hi all, I'm having real trouble getting Getmail, which is configured to pick up mail from my ISPs mailhost, to put the mail in our local Maildirs, through Deliver. We're using virtual users so, if I am understanding correctly, Deliver needs to fetch this information from /var/run/dovecot/auth-master. The trouble is that Deliver doesn't seem to have the correct privileges to do so. Whenever Getmail tries to pass the mail to Deliver, the line: Oct 15 15:21:04 Domain deliver(user(a)domain.com): Can't connect to auth server at /var/run/dovecot/auth-master: No such file or directory appears in the Mail.err log. So far I've tried: # - Changing the privileges of the whole /var/run/dovecot/ folder, and its sub folders. I understand that this is only a workaround, as Dovecot changes the privileges back on restart, however it doesn't seem to work anyway. It changes the log result from 'No such file or directory' to 'Permission denied' (and sometimes 'Connection refused'). # - I tried setting the location of auth-master to /home/manager/dovecot in the dovecot-postfix.conf config files (and the dovecot.conf config, just in case), so I could control access to it, and its permissions, more closely. Again, no luck. The log file still shows that it is trying to access it through /var/run/dovecot ~ not sure why (I even went to the lengths of doing a search for /var/run/dovecot in the config files, to make sure I hadn't missed a rogue mention; nothing). Interestingly the file auth-master is created in the correct folder I've configured, but the log results still stay the same. Thanks in advance for any help getting this up and running.

[Dovecot] Two passwords: One for Dovecot IMAP and One for Dovecot SASL? Is it possible?
by Art Gray - Razorpoint 15 Oct '09

15 Oct '09

Greetings, Can Dovecot can handle separate authentication for receiving mail (IMAPS) and sending mail (SMTPS)? In the past, we used Dovecot IMAP for the receiving part and Cyrus SASL for the sending part. This allowed us to use two passwords with mail. Cyrus has grown too old and isn't useful anymore. Can Dovecot give us this functionality: two passwords, one for IMAP authentication and one for SASL authentication? If so, could you point me in the right direction to get this working? Thanks in advance, A

[Dovecot] Investigating suspected cache corruption
by David Warden 14 Oct '09

14 Oct '09

Hi All, I'm running Dovecot 1.1.11 for a site of about 7000 active users with a Squirrelmail frontend. We migrated from Courier (big shout to everyone who worked on the wonderful part of the Dovecot wiki that deals with Courier migration) and I have been extremely happy with the performance gains Dovecot has given us. Not only is the IMAP part of Squirrelmail faster, but our same hardware is under far less stress than it was before the migration. To date, the only problem we have experienced is a seemingly random but significant slowdown in Squirrelmail's loading of the messages in a user's Inbox. Each time, I have been able to fix the problem by deleting the user's dovecot.index, dovecot.index.cache and dovecot.index.log files in the user's INDEX directory for their dovecot Inbox. I tried having users experiencing this problem log in to a test Squirrelmail box with mail_debug on, but I didn't see anything out of the ordinary and they report the same slowness on the test server. I don't see anything but normal login/logout IMAP lines in the production dovecot logs. I have hesitated a bit in posting to the list since this seems to be happening to a small percentage of users and it technically may be a problem with Squirrelmail, but the fact that I'm able to fix the problem by nuking Dovecot's index files has me concerned - does anyone have any suggestions for troubleshooting? My first idea when I get another one of these is to do a telnet IMAP session to Dovecot on one of the Squirrelmail boxes and see if I can get it to slow down when retrieving messages from the Inbox. We are using Maildir over NFS with the control/index files stored on NFS as well. We're doing FS quota over NFS using rquotad to query the NFS server for each user's quota. Here's the output of dovecot -n: # 1.1.11: /etc/dovecot.conf Warning: fd limit 1024 is lower than what Dovecot can use under full load (more than 1536). Either grow the limit or change login_max_processes_count and max_mail_processes settings # OS: Linux 2.6.18-128.1.1.0.1.el5 x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.3 (Tikanga) login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login login_process_per_connection: no login_processes_count: 10 login_max_processes_count: 512 verbose_proctitle: yes first_valid_uid: 0 mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir:CONTROL=/Mail/mailhome/ %u/.dovecot:INDEX=/Mail/mailhome/%u/.dovecot mmap_disable: yes mail_nfs_storage: yes mail_nfs_index: yes mail_drop_priv_before_exec: yes mail_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugins(default): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(imap): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(pop3): mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib64/dovecot/pop3 imap_client_workarounds(default): outlook-idle delay-newmail imap_client_workarounds(imap): outlook-idle delay-newmail imap_client_workarounds(pop3): imap_logout_format(default): bytes(in/out)=%i/%o imap_logout_format(imap): bytes(in/out)=%i/%o imap_logout_format(pop3): bytes=%i/%o pop3_uidl_format(default): %08Xu%08Xv pop3_uidl_format(imap): %08Xu%08Xv pop3_uidl_format(pop3): UID%u-%v pop3_client_workarounds(default): pop3_client_workarounds(imap): pop3_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh pop3_logout_format(default): top=%t/%p, retr=%r/%b, del=%d/%m, size=%s pop3_logout_format(imap): top=%t/%p, retr=%r/%b, del=%d/%m, size=%s pop3_logout_format(pop3): top(count/bytes)=%t/%p, retr(count/bytes)=%r/ %b, del(deleted/pre-deleted)=%d/%m, mailbox-size(bytes)=%s namespace: type: private prefix: INBOX. inbox: yes list: yes subscriptions: yes auth default: mechanisms: plain login passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd plugin: quota: fs:Mail Quota:user Many thanks, David Warden

[Dovecot] quota error dovecot 1.1.13
by Brightblade 14 Oct '09

14 Oct '09

Hi all, I've troubles with dovecot and quota. Sometimes mails to users are bounced because quota is full. I'm reading quota_rules from LDAP. One "du -h ." from maildir show user is under quota ( at 70 % more or less), less than 99%, i delete maildirsize and dovecot recreate it with ldap-quota value at first line and second line is current-quota mails. Current-quota is near quota max value so dovecot execute quota_warning (99%). Why is dovecot thinking quota is at 99% when du -h show me its value is near 70% ? any guess?

[Dovecot] backup using rsync
by Scott Murman 14 Oct '09

14 Oct '09

i'm trying to backup the dovecot Maildir files over a cifs share. source is a debian build, share is a readynas. i've been getting rsync: mkstemp 'filename goes here' failed: Not a directory (20) errors. rsync is v3.0. i believe this is related to the dovecot file naming convention that includes characters such as ':' in the filename. anyone else seeing similar behavior? a workaround? i can go to different backup strategies, but rsync is cheap and effective for my needs. thanks, -SM-

[Dovecot] Homedir for sieve/LDAP
by Edgar Fuß 13 Oct '09

13 Oct '09

I'm somewhat confused regarding Home Directories needed by sieve and setting them for an LDAP userdb. We have system users, passdb ldap, userdb ldap, but home directories are not mounted on the mail server. Now apparently, sieve needs the home directory for .dovecot.lda-dupes. Is there an easier way to give lda/sieve a home directory than setting something along the lines of user_attrs = ...,uid=home=/import/mail/%$/home in dovecot-ldap.conf?

[Dovecot] failing to deliver to one of multiple destinations
by Edgar Fuß 13 Oct '09

13 Oct '09

Is it defined whether, in case a message should be delivered to multiple destinations via a sieve script, and one of those destinations fail, then the whole delivery is to be considered as successful or not? My case: A sieve script forwarding to and external destinations plus local keep. The keep fails (configuration error, wrong homedir, .dovecot.lda- dupes not writable). According to postfix logs, dovecot deliver returned success. The mail was NOT delivered to the local destination and NOT bounced. Is this expected behaviour?

[Dovecot] LAYOUT=fs still uses 'dot' prefixes for folders
by PGNet Dev 13 Oct '09

13 Oct '09

running latest dovecot HEAD, per, http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailLocation/Maildir i've set LAYOUT=fs, dovecot -n| grep -i layout mail_location: maildir:/data/mail:LAYOUT=fs and expect, maildirs to actually use physical directories, such as: * Maildir/folder/ * Maildir/folder/subfolder/ but, autocreate@login creates folders using "dot" prefixes, e.g., cd /data/mail/Domains/my.domain.com/Accounts/test_account ls -1d .* ./ ../ .Drafts/ .Spam/ .Templates/ .Trash/ &, login via TBird, creating a folder "test", also creates .test/ a bug, or a misconfiguration?

[Dovecot] (no subject)
by Jerry 13 Oct '09

13 Oct '09

Using Postfix with Virtual Users/Virtual Domains, I have configured it with a wild card entry; i.e., "*.mydomain.com" This works fine in Postfix; however, using Dovecot for delivery is causing the message to bounce since Dovecot does not have an entry in the "user passwd" or "userdb" file. I want to store the catch-all addresses in a separate mailbox. Can I use sieve for this or will that fail also? This is the entry in the postfix master.cf file: dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -f ${sender} -d ${user}@${nexthop} The output of dovecot -n # 1.2.4: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf # OS: FreeBSD 7.2-STABLE i386 ufs log_path: /usr/home/gerard/dovecot.log protocols: pop3 pop3s managesieve listen(default): * listen(pop3): * listen(managesieve): localhost:2000 disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login login_executable(managesieve): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/managesieve-login login_greeting: Greetings From Seibercom.net verbose_proctitle: yes first_valid_uid: 1000 first_valid_gid: 1000 mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: maildir:/var/mail/vhost/%d/%n mail_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_executable(managesieve): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/managesieve mail_plugins(default): expire mail_plugins(pop3): expire mail_plugins(managesieve): mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(managesieve): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/managesieve pop3_client_workarounds(default): outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh pop3_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh pop3_client_workarounds(managesieve): dict_db_config: /usr/local/etc/dovecot-db.conf managesieve_logout_format(default): bytes=%i/%o managesieve_logout_format(pop3): bytes=%i/%o managesieve_logout_format(managesieve): bytes ( in=%i : out=%o ) lda: postmaster_address: postmaster(a)seibercom.net mail_plugins: expire sieve: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/sieve/gerard.sieve sieve_global_path: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/sieve/gerard.sieve sendmail_path: /usr/sbin/sendmail auth default: mechanisms: plain login cram-md5 digest-md5 username_chars: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ01234567890.-_@+ username_format: %Lu passdb: driver: sql args: /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: passwd args: blocking=yes userdb: driver: sql args: /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf socket: type: listen client: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-client mode: 438 master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 438 plugin: expire: Trash 7 Spam 30 expire_dict: proxy::expire dict: expire: mysql:/usr/local/etc/dovecot-dict-expire.conf -- Jerry gesbbb(a)yahoo.com DEFAULT: The hardware's, of course.

[Dovecot] Panic: file sieve-cmu.c: line 262 (part_save): assertion failed: (buf->used - 1 == part->body_size.physical_size)
by Raffael Schmid 13 Oct '09

13 Oct '09

Hi everybody We are running in the same issue as Maciej Polewczynski does in http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2008-September/033645.html Is there already a solution? I dont think so? In the TODO-File for 1.2.2 this issue is still reported: #### [...] - sieve-cmu.c crash: i_assert(buf->used - 1 == part->body_size.physical_size); [...] #### I am not able to reproduce the problem but I think it has something to do with the charset of a mail? Because the 2 bits which are used with UTF-8 for special characters? Dovecot is running in a 64bit vServer on a 64bit host. Both are debian lenny with all patches. The dovecot-packages is backported.

[Dovecot] Bad_MIME on vacation messages
by Stephen Vaughan 12 Oct '09

12 Oct '09

Hi, I know I've brought this up before (see http://www.mail-archive.com/dovecot@dovecot.org/msg20974.html) and I've since upgraded to 1.2.6, but our vacation messages are still being rejected because of Bad_MIME. We are using Dovecot Sieve 0.1.12, the auto reply message contains ^M characters at the end of a few lines, they are only visable through vi, example: Received: from mail.domain.com (HELO alejandro.domain.com) (123.123.123.123) by mail.domain.com.au with SMTP; 7 Oct 2009 17:48:13 -0600 Received: (qmail 3531 invoked from network); 8 Oct 2009 10:48:18 +1100 Received: from unknown (HELO mail.domain.com.au) (192.168.200.10) by alejandro.domain.com with SMTP; 8 Oct 2009 10:48:18 +1100 Received: (qmail 16185 invoked by uid 1007); 8 Oct 2009 10:48:17 +1100 X-Sieve: Dovecot Sieve 0.1.12^M Message-ID: <dovecot-sieve-1254959297-930199-0@max>^M Date: Thu, 08 Oct 2009 10:48:17 +1100^M From: <clair(a)max.team.domain.com> To: <admin(a)domain.com.au> Subject: Out of office reply^M Auto-Submitted: auto-replied (vacation)^M Precedence: bulk^M MIME-Version: 1.0^M Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8^M Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit^M Is there someway to fix this? Pretty much every mail server is rejecting the vacation email's. -- Best Regards, Stephen

Re: [Dovecot] mail archiving (Andreas Ntaflos)

Thanks Andreas, Ill look int postfix. Ive always used sendmail and was able to migrate my mailman mailing lists and aliases files over from my old mailserver several years ago when it lost its drives (thank god for backups). Luckily at that time I had a server that I was building for another totally different reason, and I just moved my configs over. Ive actually never had any issues with sendmail, but I will agree that documentation is low. Thanks for the help.

[Dovecot] sievec fails when last line is a comment without trailing \n
by Peter Marschall 11 Oct '09

11 Oct '09

Hi, when switching from Dovecot 1.1 + cmusieve to Dovecot 1.2 + sieve I stumbled upon the following problem: My sieve files, generated with Dovecot 1.1's managesieve, did not compile anymore with sieve's sievec. The error message was: error: end of file before end of hash comment. Looking a bit closer I found that the last line, which was a comment, did not have a trailing newline. Adding a newline fixed the problem. I do not know if Dovecot 1.2's managesieve behaves differently, but the upgrade from cmusieve to sieve In the spirit of "be generous in what you accept but strict in what you send", is it possible for sievec to not throw an error in this case, but simply compile the file. This might help other updates from cmusieve -> sieve as well. Thanks in advance. Peter -- Peter Marschall peter(a)adpm.de

[Dovecot] soft quota lda question
by toni＠dingsbums.org 11 Oct '09

11 Oct '09

hi all, i'm using dovecot deliver (lda) and i want to show quota to the users via imap/pop3, but i don't want to enforce it (i.e. don't reject/bounce mails when quota is exceeded). protocol imap { mail_plugins = quota imap_quota } protocol pop3 { mail_plugins = quota } # In case you're using deliver: protocol lda { #mail_plugins = quota } does it work if i just comment out the "mail_plugin = quota" in the protocol lda section and leave the imap/pop3 configuration or is there another better way to do this? thanks in advance, someone2.0

[Dovecot] status & use-case of fts_solr?
by PGNet Dev 10 Oct '09

10 Oct '09

i've deployed a Solr server, and setup Dovecot for *both* squat & solr FTS. iiuc, reading at, http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/FTS http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/FTS/Solr as of dovecot v1.1.2, squat's required for IMAP compliance; solr search breaks it. is that still the case in v1.2? Is IMAP-compliant Solr search possible? planned? if the goal is fast, indexed FTS of dovecot IMAP stores from within a MUA, is fts_solr even helpful? or is it targeted for web interfaces to search ... ? thanks.

[Dovecot] mail archiving

Re: [Dovecot] What exactly do you mean by archiving?
by dhottinger＠harrisonburg.k12.va.us 10 Oct '09

10 Oct '09

I mean every single email sent and recieved is kept for a period of time (3 -5 years) separate from users mail, and emails cant be deleted. Ideally emails would have compression, mailboxes need to be searchable easily, and some mechanism whereby attachments sent to multiple people only get saved once, and emails sent to multiple people only get saved once. I could do something with procmail that copies every email coming in to another directory easily, but that doesnt solve the sent email. Ive looked at several commercial products, but none seem to work nicely with sendmail. Thanks for the information, I'll look and see if sieve will work better for me than procmail. Im not sure thought that your method will pass the test come litigation time (if that every happens). thanks, ddh -- Dwayne Hottinger Network Administrator Harrisonburg City Public Schools "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler." -- Albert Einstein "The hottest places in Hell are reserved for those who, in times of moral crisis, preserved their neutrality." -- Dante

[Dovecot] @2.0, --sysconfdir incorrectly populated with dovecot/*.conf
by PGNet Dev 10 Oct '09

10 Oct '09

to document from #irc, in 1.2.x, specifying ./configure ... --sysconfdir=/path/to/dir ... correctly results in dovecot.conf looked for as "/path/to/dir/dovecot.conf". in 2.0, dovecot incorrectly creates a dovecot dir in the sysconfdir, and looks for, /path/to/dir/dovecot/dovecot.conf 2.0's behavior should be made consistent with the correct implementation in 1.2.x, or clarified as different in --help/docs. thanks.

[Dovecot] very frequent disconnections
by Dan Christensen 09 Oct '09

09 Oct '09

I've installed dovecot 1:1.1.11-0ubuntu4.1 on my jaunty system. Access from the same host works well, but when I access remotely (from various MUAs and networks) I get *very* frequent disconnects. Authentication is fine, and I can usually open a mail folder, but larger operations such as copying 20 messages into an imap folder always get disconnected. I can reconnect, but I often get disconnected again in a few seconds, especially if I do more than very light access. I've enabled all the logging I'm aware of, but I don't see any explanations. I get things like Oct 7 20:19:38 jdc dovecot: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=390 Oct 7 20:19:39 jdc dovecot: auth(default): client in: AUTH^I1^IPLAIN^Iservice=imap^Isecured^Ilip=129.100.75.85^Irip=65.95.132.250^Ilport=143^Irport=62044^Iresp=<hidden> Oct 7 20:19:39 jdc dovecot: auth-worker(default): pam(jdc,65.95.132.250): lookup service=dovecot Oct 7 20:19:39 jdc dovecot: auth-worker(default): pam(jdc,65.95.132.250): #1/1 style=1 msg=Password: Oct 7 20:19:39 jdc dovecot: auth(default): client out: OK^I1^Iuser=jdc Oct 7 20:19:39 jdc dovecot: auth(default): master in: REQUEST^I2^I367^I1 Oct 7 20:19:39 jdc dovecot: auth(default): passwd(jdc,65.95.132.250): lookup Oct 7 20:19:39 jdc dovecot: auth(default): master out: USER^I2^Ijdc^Isystem_user=jdc^Iuid=1000^Igid=1000^Ihome=/home/jdc Oct 7 20:19:39 jdc dovecot: IMAP(jdc): Effective uid=1000, gid=1000, home=/home/jdc Oct 7 20:19:39 jdc dovecot: IMAP(jdc): maildir: data=~/Maildir Oct 7 20:19:39 jdc dovecot: IMAP(jdc): maildir++: root=/home/jdc/Maildir, index=, control=, inbox=/home/jdc/Maildir Oct 7 20:19:40 jdc dovecot: IMAP(jdc): Connection closed bytes=303/1423 and Oct 7 20:43:54 jdc dovecot: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=6620 Oct 7 20:43:55 jdc dovecot: auth(default): client in: AUTH^I1^IPLAIN^Iservice=imap^Isecured^Ilip=129.100.75.85^Irip=65.95.132.250^Ilport=143^Irport=62633^Iresp=<hidden> Oct 7 20:43:55 jdc dovecot: auth-worker(default): pam(jdc,65.95.132.250): lookup service=dovecot Oct 7 20:43:55 jdc dovecot: auth-worker(default): pam(jdc,65.95.132.250): #1/1 style=1 msg=Password: Oct 7 20:43:55 jdc dovecot: auth(default): client out: OK^I1^Iuser=jdc Oct 7 20:43:55 jdc dovecot: auth(default): master in: REQUEST^I5^I6594^I1 Oct 7 20:43:55 jdc dovecot: auth(default): passwd(jdc,65.95.132.250): lookup Oct 7 20:43:55 jdc dovecot: auth(default): master out: USER^I5^Ijdc^Isystem_user=jdc^Iuid=1000^Igid=1000^Ihome=/home/jdc Oct 7 20:43:55 jdc dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<jdc>, method=PLAIN, rip=65.95.132.250, lip=129.100.75.85, TLS Oct 7 20:43:55 jdc dovecot: IMAP(jdc): Effective uid=1000, gid=1000, home=/home/jdc Oct 7 20:43:55 jdc dovecot: IMAP(jdc): maildir: data=~/Maildir Oct 7 20:43:55 jdc dovecot: IMAP(jdc): maildir++: root=/home/jdc/Maildir, index=, control=, inbox=/home/jdc/Maildir Oct 7 20:44:00 jdc dovecot: IMAP(jdc): Disconnected in APPEND bytes=1081/1965 The output of dovecot -n is: # 1.1.11: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.28-15-generic x86_64 Ubuntu 9.04 log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S ssl_cert_file: /etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key_file: /etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem verbose_ssl: yes login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_greeting_capability: yes max_mail_processes: 25 mail_max_userip_connections: 20 mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir mail_debug: yes maildir_copy_preserve_filename: yes auth default: verbose: yes debug: yes passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd The clients I have tried are Gnus (with starttls and gnutls-cli) and evolution, on a jaunty system; and k9mail-beta on an HTC Dream cell phone.

[Dovecot] Binary locations
by Timo Sirainen 09 Oct '09

09 Oct '09

Where do you think the following binaries should be installed to? The possible locations are: - bin/ - sbin/ - libexec/dovecot/ (or lib/dovecot/ in most Linux distros) So the binaries are: 1) These probably belong to bin/ or sbin/ or both: - authtest - dovecotpw - doveadm 2) Binaries that you might want to call from mail_executable setting: - rawlog - gdbhelper 3) Index file dumping programs, mostly meant for debugging problems: - idxview - listview - logview - mailboxlogview - threadview 4) Some extra tools that might be useful sometimes: - imap-utf7 : Encode/decode IMAP mailbox names (mUTF-7 <-> UTF-8) - maildirlock : Lock a Maildir, primarily intended for compressing files in maildir And perhaps some of the binaries should be renamed? The authtest actually now looks like a bad name. Maybe it should have been "doveauthtest" or "dovecot-authtest" or ..?

[Dovecot] Using sieve with virtual delivery & maildir
by Jerry 09 Oct '09

09 Oct '09

I am using Postfix virtual users/domains with Dovecot virtual delivery to maildir style mailboxes. Now I want to get sieve working to sort out a few minor delivery problems. I want all mail with a message header "Delivered-To: foo+bar(a)domain.com placed in the /var/mail/vhost/example.com/foo/new directory. Would this work: require "fileinto"; if anyof (header :contains "Delivered-To" "foo+bar(a)domain.com") { fileinto "foo(a)example.com"; stop; } Running 'sieve-test' works OK; however, I do not want to implement it and suddenly start losing mail. -- Jerry gesbbb(a)yahoo.com Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend: and inside a dog, it's too dark to read.

[Dovecot] how to config dovecot for multiple domains, multiple SSL certs, and conditional IP access -- with passwd-file passdb?
by PGNet Dev 09 Oct '09

09 Oct '09

at them moment, i've configured dovecot for a flat passwd-file, annd static userdb. from dovecot.conf, ... auth default { mechanisms = plain digest-md5 cram-md5 user = mail ... passdb passwd-file { args = /data/mail/users/imap_user_file } userdb static { args = static uid=mail gid=mail home=/data/mail/store/Domains/%d/Accounts/%n quota=maildir:storage=4096 nice=10 } ... i'd like to configure dovecot to, host multiple domains, each on a separate IP setup a separate SSL cert for each domain respond with a different login_greeting for each domain restrict access to, and access type (e.g., TLS req'd vs noTLS, secure auth OK) of, imap login based with conditional rules based on the guest's IP address. all of these things are currently implemented on the non-dovecot imap server i'm migrating _from_, and i'd like to preserve these capabilities. can any/all of these be accomplished with a passwd-file flatfile lookup? i know i can restrict IP access in passwd-file with 'allow_nets=', but atm i'm unclear how i'd do that for multiple domains, etc. i understand that much can be accomplished with custom SQL queries, but for a small install would _prefer_ to stay flat file. i'm finding bits & pieces of capability in docs, etc -- but, so far, nothing comprehensive/all-inclusive. which makes me wonder a bit -- why not? any comments/advice would be much appreciated. thanks!

[Dovecot] Move messages marked as Spam

Hello I have implemented recently in my work bogofilter to mark messages as Spam or Ham, currently is working perfectly, but I want to move those messages marked as spam to a folder called spam. I installed dovecot-sieve with the intention of using fileinto to accomplish this. my question is: where I put this: require "fileinto"; if header :contains "X-Bogosity" "Spam" { fileinto "Spam"; } so that all messages that come to my users go into the spam folder? and how i handle messages that are marked as "Unsure" X-Bogosity: Unsure Thanks Michel ---------------------------------------------- Webmail, servicio de correo electronico Casa de las Americas - La Habana, Cuba.

[Dovecot] Logging in with '+' delimiter
by Jerry 07 Oct '09

07 Oct '09

Dovecot v1.2.4 FreeBSD-7.2 I have Postfix configured to use Virtual Users & Domains and use Dovecot for virtual delivery. Postfix also sends, dovecot correctly places mail with '+'addressing; i.e., "foo+bar(a)domain.com" into "path-to-mail/domain.com/foo+bar". The problem is when I attempt to access the mailbox, the user name: foo+bar(a)domain.com is rejected. Is this by design, or is there a way to circumvent this problem? -- Jerry gesbbb(a)yahoo.com Fortune favors the lucky.
