[Dovecot] How to integrate dspam and dovecot
by Manilal K M 03 Apr '07

03 Apr '07

Hello all, I am currently setting up a new mail server with Qmail, OpenLDAP and Dovecot in CentOS-4.4. Qmail version is 1.03, OpenLDAP is 2.3 and Dovecot version is dovecot-1.0-3_50.rc27(RPM). I have successfully installed and tested it. But I have two issues with the current setup: #1. I am using dovecot LDA and configured the OpenLDAP such that the mail be delivered to the virtual users through a script. This script is saved in /var/qmail/bin/deliver.sh and the contents is as follows: /usr/bin/dspam --stdout --mode=tum --deliver=innocent,spam --feature=chained,noise --user global |/var/qmail/bin/preline -f /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d $RECIPIENT || exit 77 This script name is mentioned in each user's deliveryProgramPath in the LDAP. I am not sure whether this is the best approach of using dovecot as MDA. I tried to include the following contents in /var/qmail/control/defaultdelivery : |/var/qmail/bin/preline -f /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d $RECIPIENT But it seems that this is not working as desired. Please comment, if I have gone wrong anywhere. #2: I wish to use dspam to filter out the spam messages, but I am unsure whether the dspam plugin mentioned in http://johannes.sipsolutions.net/Projects/dovecot-dspam-integration is already in the dspam version I am using. If it's available please give details to configure it. Kindly share ideas. regards Manilal. -- Better to light one candle than to curse the darkness.

[Dovecot] No CA names sent in TLS handshake
by Johnny Chadda 03 Apr '07

03 Apr '07

Hello, I'm setting up Dovecot with client certificates and everything is working fine as long as the client only has one certificate in his store. If he has more than one, the wrong one might be sent to the server. The root of the problem is that Dovecot does not send out a list of valid CA names in the TLS handshake. If I connect using openssl s_client I get: "No client certificate CA names sent" I am using Dovecot 1.0 RC15 from backports.org. Is there a solution to this problem? Regards, Johnny

[Dovecot] Init.d boot scripts??
by rodman＠thefrowerts.com 03 Apr '07

03 Apr '07

Hello, Trying to figure out how to get dovecot to startup at boot. I saw the Ubuntu script on the dovecot site, but that didn't work on my system (SuSe 10.2). Of course, copying the /usr/local/sbin/dovecot file into /etc/init.d doesn't work at all. Any one have working SuSe script?? Rodman

[Dovecot] *****SPAM***** Upgrading from rc27 to rc29?
by Francisco Reyes 03 Apr '07

03 Apr '07

After sending a messasge about a problem (The folder 'Inbox' cannot contain items. Namespace problems) I found what seems to be a fix in the release for rc29. Besides any potential configuration files, do I need to delete the old index files? Any of the dovecot files? Based on the release notes for rc29 it seems the following will fix the problem we are experiencing: IMAP: LIST "" "" didn't return anything if there didn't exist a namespace with empty prefix. This broke some clients.

[Dovecot] [PATCH] to fix 2 pam issues
by Phil Oleson 03 Apr '07

03 Apr '07

Timo, I finally made the time to backport a pam fix I created for proftpd over to dovecot, that allows FreeBSD's pam_group to work as expected. (the bug was escalated to me internally hehe.. ). I also noticed an issue while testing that will be confusing to users. If the docs stay as is, or the other half of this patch is applied, then when the dovecot.conf contains: passdb pam { args = * } the imap files within etc/pam.d right now have to be named 'IMAP' and 'POP3' rather than the expected 'imap' and 'pop3'. The attached patch fixes the code to match the docs. -Phil. --- src/auth/passdb-pam.c.orig Mon Mar 26 10:10:26 2007 +++ src/auth/passdb-pam.c Mon Apr 2 16:18:54 2007 @@ -275,6 +275,8 @@ (void)pam_set_item(pamh, PAM_RHOST, host); /* TTY is needed by eg. pam_access module */ (void)pam_set_item(pamh, PAM_TTY, "dovecot"); + /* FreeBSD's pam_group need this set as well */ + (void)pam_set_item(pamh, PAM_RUSER, request->user); status = pam_auth(request, pamh, &str); if ((status2 = pam_end(pamh, status)) == PAM_SUCCESS) { @@ -428,8 +430,15 @@ int fd[2]; pid_t pid; - service = module->service_name != NULL ? - module->service_name : request->service; + if (module->service_name != NULL) { + service = module->service_name; + } else { + if (!strncmp(request->service, "IMAP", strlen(request->service))) + service = "imap"; + else if (!strncmp(request->service, "POP3", strlen(request->service))) + service = "pop3"; + } + auth_request_log_debug(request, "pam", "lookup service=%s", service); if (worker) {

[Dovecot] Suggestion: mod_auth_dovecot
by David Anderson 03 Apr '07

03 Apr '07

Hello, I have a suggestion which might be a small and very useful project for a C coder (I'm not one!). As Dovecot makes its authentication interface available to other programs, I think that an Apache module to use it would be very useful. Currently I share an passwd-db file between Dovecot and Apache. However with Apache that means I have to give Apache read access. That means that websites with PHP could read that password file if they liked. If Apache could talk to the Dovecot authentication process instead, that would be a lot better. I'm sure there are lots of situations in which this would be useful - Dovecot's authentication settings are so flexible that it would be very handy to be able to use them more widely. If anyone produces one, I pledge to produce an RPM package and submit it to Fedora as my contribution. I would do it myself if I knew C... David

[Dovecot] prefetch + static + deliver
by Tom Bombadil 02 Apr '07

02 Apr '07

Hi all... The prefetch entry in the wiki says: "If you're using Dovecot's local delivery agent, you'll still need a valid userdb which it can use to locate the users. You can do this by adding a normal sql/ldap userdb after userdb prefetch." (http://wiki.dovecot.org/UserDatabase/Prefetch) My question is: Does it need to be a SQL/LDAP userdb? How about static or passwd? Thanks in advance :)

[Dovecot] testing LDAP connections
by Hugo Monteiro 02 Apr '07

02 Apr '07

Hello all, I haven't looked into the source code, but i suspect that LDAP connections, once established, are not tested properly. My scenario is the followind: Dovecot server <--------> firewall <---------> LDAP backend What happens is that the firewall has a security feature which basically make de firewall box "forget" about connections that are idle for more than X period of time. That particular setting is 30 minutes right now. When that happens, neither the LDAP backend or the Dovecot server get any type of notification, and for all they care the connection is alive and well. This is a very common implementation in firewalls nowadays. So my question is, is there any way to make dovecot re-open a new connection if there is a timeout while trying to use a connection already opened? I believe that this could be of great benefit for those who don't have their servers on the same physical network.

[Dovecot] Using Dovecot LDA with Sendmail
by Scott Peron 02 Apr '07

02 Apr '07

Hi all, After looking at the LDA/Sendmail page in the dovecot wiki, I wanted to contribute another method to easily configure Sendmail to use deliver. Instead of adding a new mailer definition, as already suggested, one can simply use the following line in their sendmail.mc file instead: FEATURE(`local_procmail', `/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver', `deliver -d $u', `SPhnu9')dnl And further on, still use: MAILER(procmail)dnl The location of deliver will of course vary for each OS and distro, etc, but this redefines the "procmail" mailer in the resulting sendmail.cf to use deliver instead, with the correct flags. For most setups, I believe this is the simplest configuration path.

[Dovecot] Unexpected behaviour when deleteing a big mailbox
by Steffen Kaiser 02 Apr '07

02 Apr '07

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, my last tests left me with a mailbox with > 80'000 messages in Maildir. Dovecot served them fine. No problem. I usually use IMAP's "Mark messages a deleted" function and expunge later. Because the "Move to Trash" is default in many MUAs, I decided to try it on this mailbox. I do think that it is hard to detect and prevent such problem, but could it be implemented that when the client connection times out, the COPY process is terminated and rolled back? I mean, as long as the messages are copied/linked to */tmp nothing is done, yet, hence, a simple cleanup of */tmp would result in a rollback. Due to the timeout, the EXPUNGE wasn't issued so far and the source mailbox is unchanged. Or, is it possible to prevent two COPYs of an overlapping message range into the same destination folder simultaneously? Or, can I prevent to COPY such a huge range of messages at once? I know 80'000 messages are much, but I have users with an INBOX of at least 40'000, eventually moving all files into an archive mailbox. I'm also surprised to find that I didn't get two full copies of the source mailbox. ============== Start situation: 4.8G .box1 (I didn't recorded the individual subdirs, unfortunately.) # find .box1 -type f | wc -l 84273 Newly created .Trash. === I started Thunderbird, let sync the mailbox, selected them all, and pressed "Delete". Some time later: Connection timed out. I, wondered, and hit "Delete" a second time. Again, connection timed out. === I was surprised, however, to see that the Dovecot log with still active telling me that mails are copied to Trash. I ended up with two processes copying all messages to .Trash/tmp on the server. The process I traced a bit later linked any file after the other. What I wondered right from the beginning was, that du -hs .??* displayed about 3.5GB in .Trash, but still 4.8GB in .box1. So, why are there 3.5GB additional files in .Trash, when I configured Dovecot to use hardlinks? The end situation is that .box1 contains all messages still, but any Unseen messages are moved to .box1/cur, and .Trash contains: 7.4G .Trash/cur 791M .Trash/new 76K .Trash/tmp # find .Trash/ -type f | wc -l 121713 The size nearly doubled. # du -hs .box1 ; du -sh .Trash/ 4.8G .box1 8.2G .Trash/ ==== Last lines in Dovecot log: dovecot: Mar 21 11:46:15 Info: IMAP(dvtest) [11535]: copy -> Trash: uid=83964, msgid=<xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx(a)xx-xxxx-xxxxx-xxxx.xx>, box=box1 dovecot: Mar 21 11:46:15 Info: IMAP(dvtest) [11535]: copy -> Trash: uid=83965, msgid=<xxxxxxxx.xxxxxxx(a)xx-xxxx-xxxxx-xxxx.xx>, box=box1 dovecot: Mar 21 11:46:29 Info: IMAP(dvtest) [11535]: Disconnected: Mailbox is in inconsistent state, please relogin.

[Dovecot] imaptest10 and stalled messages
by Mike Brudenell 01 Apr '07

Greetings - I've now got as far as playing with the imaptest10 test utility to see if I can stress-test our development server. imaptest10 is built against dovecot-1.0rc28 It may just be that I'm excessively heavy handed, but when I let imaptest10 rip with the command... ./imaptest10 user=test%03d host=testserver.imap.york.ac.uk clients=50 mbox=./dovecot.mbox msgs=1000 secs=30 logout=10 ...after 15 seconds or so I started getting output along the lines of: Logi List Stat Sele Fetc Fet2 Stor Dele Expu Appe Logo 100% 50% 50% 100% 100% 100% 50% 100% 100% 100% 10% 30% 5% 2 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 50/ 50 2 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 50/ 50 0 0 2 2 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 50/ 50 2 0 2 2 0 1 1 1 1 1 2 50/ 50 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 50/ 50 - 16. stalled for 16 secs in LOGIN - 17. stalled for 16 secs in LOGIN - 18. stalled for 16 secs in LOGIN 2 1 1 2 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 50/ 50 - 17. stalled for 17 secs in LOGIN - 18. stalled for 17 secs in LOGIN - 22. stalled for 16 secs in LOGIN - 23. stalled for 16 secs in LOGIN - 24. stalled for 16 secs in LOGIN 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 50/ 50 - 17. stalled for 18 secs in LOGIN - 18. stalled for 18 secs in LOGIN - 22. stalled for 17 secs in LOGIN - 23. stalled for 17 secs in LOGIN - 24. stalled for 17 secs in LOGIN - 28. stalled for 16 secs in LOGIN - 29. stalled for 16 secs in LOGIN - 30. stalled for 16 secs in LOGIN - 31. stalled for 16 secs in LOGIN - 32. stalled for 16 secs in LOGIN The "stalled" log lines continue until the test completes. I'm assuming it's just that I'm pushing our hardware beyond its reasonable limits: it is only an oldish development box... Sun v120 with 1 650MHz SPARC processor and 1Gbyte RAM Dovecot is using shadow password file authentication. The mail folders are in Maildirs, NFS-mounted from a NetApp filer, and each account's INBOX has around 1000 messages in it. Control and Index files are on local disk. By the end of the 30 second test run load average has climbed to around 11 I don't know how "active" the imaptest10 utility is when it's running, but do you think I should be concerned by the "stalled" messages? That is, do you think I have something configured amiss? Or is it likely just to be I'm expecting too much of our hardware? (The real system will have beefier Suns with Opteron-based CPUs, more memory, etc) With thanks, Mike B-) PS. I forgot to say: despite all this activity there's not a single error logged by Dovecot in the (admittedly short at this stage) test runs. -- The Computing Service, University of York, Heslington, York Yo10 5DD, UK Tel:+44-1904-433811 FAX:+44-1904-433740 * Unsolicited commercial e-mail is NOT welcome at this e-mail address. *

[Dovecot] locking question
by Stewart Dean 01 Apr '07

01 Apr '07

There are three applications that have their mitts on files on my mail server, which is running AIXV5.3 and UWIMAP and mbox format. The mail folders and INBOXES are native to that machine, but also are NFS exported to a login server and a mailing list server. All three machines are running the lockd daemon. Everybody wants to lock differently 1) procmail (delivering for sendmail), which seems to want to use dotlocking, fcntl and lockf locking; for whatever reasons, the compile time tests seem to disallow flock. 2) UWIMAP which according to wiki.dovecot.org/Migration/UW uses: mbox_read_locks = flock mbox_write_locks = dotlock flock 3) I want to run dovecot in the same environment as I switch over, for which the locking strategy is supposed to be (according to http://wiki.dovecot.org/MboxLocking) mbox_read_locks = fcntl mbox_write_locks = dotlock fcntl Since that same page in the wiki says. "*It's important that all software that's reading or writing to mboxes use the same locking settings.",* I had recompiled procmail so it only usedotlocking and fcntl (thus removing lockf in addition to the disallowed flock)...but now I bumped into the Migration/UW page and there looks to be a conflict. I want to be able to run dovecot (for testing) and UWIMAP (for all users/production) at the same time (but never at the same time with the same mailbox), but UWIMAP is doc'ed to use flock and Dovecot doesn't It's conceivable that the different locking strategies of UWIMAP and Dovecot don't matter because they would never be going after the same mail files (right?) but there is procmail, which has to interact with both. It appears to not use flock OK, even though the docs say it should since UWIMAP expects it, and I've disabled lockf as well. But will there be a conflict with procmail and dovecot's use of fcntl, which UWIMAP doesn't use?

[Dovecot] who owns dovecot files and dirs?
by Stewart Dean 01 Apr '07

01 Apr '07

...and what permissions should they have. I am thinking of /var/run/dovecot and the index directory. What ownership, group and permissions should they be? Are there any other files/dirs created for dovecot alone (not the mail folders and INBOXes); if so, how should they be owned and permed? I had thought they were to be owned by dovecot, but it turns out that they should not -- ==== 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] 1.0rc29: Corrupted index cache file
by Jeff Rice 01 Apr '07

01 Apr '07

Hi, I have recently migrated from Courier to Dovecot, and I noticed a problem in one of my spam scripts. Here's the setup: Spam that needs to be retrained by the filter is placed in a maildir from the IMAP client. A cron job scans that maildir and if it finds a message, feeds it to the spam filter and removes it from the training maildir. Depending on whether or not the message was a spam or ham, it is either deleted or delivered to Inbox. It appears I am getting an error when the script deletes a mail message. I haven't checked if this message only occurs when a client is connected -- it's possible. Log excerpt: Mar 31 18:34:57 finity dovecot: IMAP(XXXXXXX(a)finity.org): Maildir /home/vmail/XXXXXXX(a)finity.org/.Spam.Unsure sync: UID inserted in the middle of mailbox (8 > 3, file = msg.FHoB:2,) Mar 31 18:34:57 finity dovecot: IMAP(XXXXXXX(a)finity.org): Disconnected: Mailbox is in inconsistent state, please relogin.

[Dovecot] convert plugin failing
by Adrian Bridgett 31 Mar '07

31 Mar '07

I'm struggling to get the convert plugin working using the Debian etch packages. When starting dovecot it was trying to create files in /.temp.hostname... convert-plugin.c looks like it has a couple of typos in it - it checks "mail" three times for NULL rather than mail, user, home. I changed this but it's getting called when these three items are set to: "maildir:/HOME_DIRECTORY_USED_BUT_NOT_GIVEN_BY_USERDB/Maildir" "dump-capability" "" I must be missing something - shouldn't the mailboxes only be converted when a user logs in? Should the conversion be skipped for the dump-capability user (whatever that is!) Thanks, Adrian -- Adrian Bridgett - adrian(a)smop.co.uk GPG key available on public key servers

[Dovecot] Version Numbering and releases
by Peter Lindgren 31 Mar '07

31 Mar '07

Hi all, Merging the two large recent threads, my recommendation is as follows: * The Release Candidates for 1.0 should be bug fixes only. * Each new Feature, or a Feature Set, goes in a separate branch. * That branch is tested by those who need/want that feature. * When testing is completed, the branch is merged into the main trunk. This way, we will have fairly well tested features/feature sets in the main trunk which people can fairly safe download and test and deploy, if their own tests succeeds. When the feature code is merged into the main trunk, the minor version is incremented by one (1.0.x --> 1.1.0). Bug fixes increment the revision (1.1.0 --> 1.1.1). Easy to follow, easy to package for package maintainers. Also, it's easy to write Readme's and other documentation on what's changed. (And for those who think that odd versions are for development (unstable), well, they will just wait until sufficient features have been added before they think it is stable... ) Timo's new features he sees for future versions, plan them for a 2.0 or a 1.1 or whatever version number, just don't call it 1.0.2rc1 :-) Another suggestion, is to create a Bugzilla (or similar) site for dovecot. That gives us all a chance to track changes and bug fixes. /Peter, building rc29 as I write this

[Dovecot] rc28 : can't set quotas with userdb + passwd file
by David Anderson 30 Mar '07

30 Mar '07

I'm using dovecot 1.0 rc28 - great software! I have a virtual hosting setup, with passdb and userdb both using a passwd file. I cannot get per-user quotas put in the relevant field of the userdb to work. They appear to be completely ignored; only the setting from /etc/dovecot.conf is applied. Can anyone confirm that this is working for them? If it is, can you post the relevant bits of your configuration, please? Many thanks. Kind regards, David

[Dovecot] Security hole #3: zlib plugin allows opening any gziped mboxes
by Timo Sirainen 30 Mar '07

30 Mar '07

zlib plugin allows opening gzipped mboxes as read-only mailboxes. However when using it, the mailbox name checks are bypassed so it's possible to open for example "../otheruser/somefile.gz". Only valid gzipped mbox files can be opened, and only if their name ends with ".gz". You can fix this by upgrading to v1.0.rc29 (available soon) or with this patch: http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot-cvs/2007-March/008488.html I don't think this matters much though. zlib plugin is rarely used, and those who do use it are probably using Dovecot with systems users (per-user UIDs), so the imap process wouldn't have access to other users' mbox files anyway. I found this problem when I was cleaning up the code in CVS HEAD.

[Dovecot] uiddir mailbox format with benchmarks
by Timo Sirainen 30 Mar '07

30 Mar '07

I cleaned up the lib-storage code a bit so that it's easier to write support for new mailbox formats. It could still use a bit of cleaning up. Anyway, I thought I'd try how easy it would be to implement Cyrus-like mail store which would consist of only Dovecot's index files and "<uid>." message files. Flags and everything else is kept only in Dovecot's index files (so it might not be the best idea to use it in production just yet). Several hours later I ended up having it working. The code contains: ~/cvs/m/dovecot-head/src/lib-storage/index/uiddir% wc *[ch] 144 329 3552 uiddir-mail.c 240 565 6206 uiddir-save.c 532 1367 13628 uiddir-storage.c 55 126 1712 uiddir-storage.h 169 404 4057 uiddir-sync.c 21 48 573 uiddir-sync.h 103 258 2762 uiddir-transaction.c 1264 3097 32490 total uiddir-storage.c is still a bit too bloaty with lots of copy&pasted code. The same with maildir and mbox: maildir: 6022 18232 165605 total mbox: 7859 23283 213686 total Benchmarks show that with small mailboxes it's a lot faster than maildir, and with larger mailboxes it's a bit faster. I also tested it against Cyrus. I found out that fetching ENVELOPE vs. specific headers gives quite a huge performance difference. Cyrus is optimized for ENVELOPE while Dovecot is optimized for specific headers. With larger mailboxes + ENVELOPE Cyrus is faster than Dovecot, while with specific headers Dovecot is always faster. Maybe I'll some day make Dovecot optimize for ENVELOPE also if it sees that client only wants to use it. BTW. Does anyone have better naming ideas than "uiddir"? I'll commit it to CVS HEAD once I'm sure about the name. :) u: Dovecot CVS HEAD + uiddir m: Dovecot CVS HEAD + Maildir c: Cyrus IMAP 2.2.13 ./imaptest list=0 seed=1 secs=60 clients=10 Logi Stat Sele Fetc Fet2 Stor Dele Expu Appe Logo u: 23486 11822 23481 23476 33426 11659 8038 23472 11922 46952 m: 19367 9734 19367 19356 27453 9687 6287 19347 7983 38709 c: 5124 2553 5121 5105 7080 2559 1877 5104 3271 10228 ./imaptest list=0 dele=20 expu=20 seed=1 secs=60 msgs=10000 clients=10 Logi Stat Sele Fetc Fet2 Stor Dele Expu Appe Logo u: 5291 2704 5289 5278 7448 2706 1048 1061 5283 10563 m: 4162 2103 4162 4153 5977 2124 762 853 4153 8304 c: 4302 2157 4301 4289 6021 2072 806 879 4292 8584 ./imaptest list=0 dele=10 expu=10 seed=1 secs=60 msgs=100000 clients=10 Logi Stat Sele Fetc Fet2 Stor Dele Expu Appe Logo u: 3211 1637 3206 3195 4639 1537 287 302 3202 6402 m: 2957 1508 2955 2944 4173 1440 279 306 2948 5894 c: 3933 1929 3933 3920 5604 2020 380 379 3923 7846 ------ ./imaptest list=0 dele=10 expu=10 seed=1 secs=60 msgs=100000 clients=1 Logi Stat Sele Fetc Fet2 Stor Dele Expu Appe Logo u: 1529 745 1529 1528 2184 819 136 162 1528 3056 c: 1579 813 1579 1578 2257 811 171 148 1578 3156 ./imaptest list=0 dele=10 expu=10 seed=1 secs=60 msgs=100000 clients=50 Logi Stat Sele Fetc Fet2 Stor Dele Expu Appe Logo u: 3098 1552 3093 3085 4432 1520 293 334 3089 6173 c: 3664 1765 3659 3596 5106 1802 365 364 3614 7228 ====== FETCH BODY.PEEK[HEADER.FIELDS(from to cc subject)] instead of ENVELOPE: ./imaptest list=0 dele=20 expu=20 seed=1 secs=60 msgs=10000 clients=10 Logi Stat Sele Fetc Fet2 Stor Dele Expu Appe Logo u: 5777 2933 5777 5767 8215 2901 1133 1191 5767 11531 c: 3636 1794 3635 3623 5196 1843 682 722 3627 7254 ./imaptest list=0 dele=10 expu=10 seed=1 secs=60 msgs=100000 clients=10 Logi Stat Sele Fetc Fet2 Stor Dele Expu Appe Logo u: 3869 1959 3868 3861 5452 1943 364 394 3859 7717 c: 3191 1620 3189 3184 4501 1598 315 327 3181 6362 ./imaptest list=0 dele=10 expu=10 seed=1 secs=60 msgs=100000 clients=1 Logi Stat Sele Fetc Fet2 Stor Dele Expu Appe Logo u: 1912 966 1912 1910 2783 940 184 197 1911 3820 c: 1342 696 1342 1341 1888 682 109 126 1341 2682 ./imaptest list=0 dele=10 expu=10 seed=1 secs=60 msgs=100000 clients=50 Logi Stat Sele Fetc Fet2 Stor Dele Expu Appe Logo u: 4618 2320 4610 4604 6558 2266 452 455 4605 9205 c: 2960 1472 2956 2941 4134 1425 281 312 2910 5820

[Dovecot] sieve-body extension support for deliver LDA's sieve plugin
by Scott Peron 30 Mar '07

Hi Timo & Co, Is there any time frame for updating the deliver LDA's sieve plugin code to that from Cyrus IMAPd v2.3.x? I ask as I'm looking for the functionality of the sieve-body extension, as described here: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-sieve-body-06.txt This requirement has come up as we're upgrading from a Courier-IMAP/maildrop configuration that has some filtering based on message body content. As an aside, if that time frame is undefined or will be long, if I use maildrop instead as my LDA, will I loose the instant delivery notification via IMAP IDLE?

[Dovecot] Version numbering
by Timo Sirainen 30 Mar '07

30 Mar '07

After v1.0 is released, I can finally get back to sane version numbers. But any comments on which one is better: a) Postfix-style: "1.1.UNSTABLE.YYYYMMDD" -> 1.1.0 (stable) b) Odd-even numbering: 1.1.x (unstable) -> 1.2.0 (stable) With a) style the releases could be done by simply copying a nightly snapshot to releases/ directory and announcing the changes since the last release. I'm not sure if that's good or bad.

Have the RC's released new features as well as fixed bugs? I've been hesitant to upgrade to an RC because they seem to be released so frequently and I have no idea if one is more or less stable than another. This uncertainty is a big show-stopper to upgrading. It would help if, for a given RC, we knew exactly what known issues that RC had. (Is that in the wiki?) I'd suggest that a "version" be assigned only to something that should get spread around. A nightly snapshot should get the version it was based from and a timestamp suffix of when it was extracted from CVS. (Were this Subversion, I'd append the repository revision, instead.) The snapshot is not a "version" but a convenient download from CVS. It should be exactly what you get with the same timestamp used in a checkout command. Apache's versioning scheme (posted by John Peacock) looks good to me: <http://apr.apache.org/versioning.html>

[Dovecot] Forbidding folder delete
by Kenneth Porter 30 Mar '07

30 Mar '07

Is there some way I can forbid the deleting of folders? I have a Thunderbird user who twice now has accidentally deleted a folder, forcing me to go fetch it from the nightly backup. I'd like to prevent this from happening again, and the easiest way to me is to block folder deletion. I'd rather do that "manually" from the shell than leave it available from the client GUI.

[Dovecot] Copy to sent mail timeouts
by Jeff Tucker 29 Mar '07

29 Mar '07

Hi. I'm running the dovecot IMAP that comes with Ubuntu Edgy, which is 1.0rc2. I realize this is old, but I'll ask my question in case anyone knows about this problem and how to fix it, or knows that a later version definitely fixes it. What I'm seeing is that the IMAP server works perfectly, except for occasional timeouts when the user sends an email with attachments, causing that email then to be copied to their sent mail folder. The behavior seen is that Thunderbird, for instance, will say it is copying to the sent mail and the progress goes up to 100%, but then stops and Thunderbird eventually says the action timed out. I don't see anything in any dovecot logging and the file does not appear in the sent mail. I don't have any other kind of timeout issues. I can move mails around folders, read large emails, or whatever. The problem seems worse with large emails, but some times it will copy 15 MB emails and some times it won't. I can't find that any particular email always fails. Any ideas? As a last resort, I'll build the latest rc from scratch, but I like the automatic installation, notification of security problems, etc. I get with the distro packages. Thanks Jeff

[Dovecot] chroot and raw logging
by Michal Soltys 29 Mar '07

29 Mar '07

I'm not sure if it's even intended to work in this particular case, but there's a problem when chroot is explicitely defined and rawlogging is used.

i'm running RHEL v 5 and 1.0-1.2.rc15 of dovecot and 2.3.3-2 of postfix. users can send mail to outside hosts, but can not receive them. i find no errors in the maillog -- i used a page from the redhat docs to configure postfix and dovecot so that they used the same mail directory... i think... any ideas on how to debug and/or fix this would be greatly appreciated. thanks, steve

[Dovecot] New mail not appearing consistently in Outlook 2003
by Karl von Randow 28 Mar '07

28 Mar '07

Hi all, I have continuously experienced a new mail not appearing problem in Outlook 2003 on Windows XP. Using Dovecot 0.99.14 on Debian Sarge and now in 1.0rc26 and rc27. The problem exhibits itself as: Some new mail is randomly(?) not shown in my mailbox. More new mail does appear, so it's difficult to know when a message has been missed. If I restart Outlook the missed new messages will appear as unread in the order where they should have been received in my inbox. I use secure imap. I get email through my inbox (receipts from a website we're testing, at its peak maybe 2-3 a minute) that are moved into another mailbox using a rule in Outlook. These are often the messages that are missed as above, but it often includes other email as well. The mail box format is mbox on the server. The mail delivery is by exim4 from Debian Sarge. I wondered if there was a locking problem between exim4 and dovecot? My transport in exim4 for delivering the mail is: mail_spool_home: debug_print = "T: appendfile for $local_part@$domain" driver = appendfile file = /home/vmail/$domain/$local_part/INBOX delivery_date_add envelope_to_add return_path_add group = mail mode = 0660 mode_fail_narrower = false The problem is reproducable in that I see the problem occur everyday. I am about to compile and install rc28 to see if that improves matters. I'd appreciate any help resolving the problem!

[Dovecot] Bug-report for rc28: Mailbox isn't a valid mbox file
by Erik van Oosten 28 Mar '07

28 Mar '07

Hi, When I try to open the attached mbox file I get the following warning in Thunderbird 1.5.0.10: 'The current command failed. The e-mail server responded: Mailbox isn't a valid mbox file'. I also tried this with squirrelmail, with the same result. The Dovecot version is dovecot-1.0.rc28, compiled from source. The attached mbox was correctly read from, and written to in earlier versions (either rc15 or rc22, I am not sure). The initial import was done (a long time ago) by copying a file from my Thunderbird profile directory. OS: SuSE 10.0, x86 Filesystem: ext3, (no NFS) Output of dovecot -n: ------------------------------------ # /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login mail_location: mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd ------------------------------------- Can I somehow recover the data in this mbox?

[Dovecot] odd behavior with Dovecot LDA
by Steven F Siirila 28 Mar '07

28 Mar '07

Okay, to convince myself that quota handling was working okay with Dovecot 1.0-rc27 on Solaris 10, I tested sending a message to an account that was purposely over-quota. The account in question had a vacation message set up. For the first test, there was no $HOME/.imap directory at all. I received the vacation message, but the message which was supposed to be delivered locally queued in Postfix (temporary failure). For the second test, I created $HOME/.imap and $HOME/.imap/INBOX directories with the owner and group set to that of the user (just to make sure the code handled things the same). Again, I received the vacation message, but the message which was supposed to be delivered locally bounced back to me after Dovecot LDA crashed: <syst0005(a)peridot.tc.umn.edu>: Command died with status 139: "/opt/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/deliver -f "$SENDER"". Command output: Segmentation Fault It appears that Dovecot LDA assumes that if .imap/FOLDERNAME exists that the index files must also exist.. I wonder what other assumptions might cause segfaults. -- Steven F.

[Dovecot] How do I check the release #?

I am a dovecot newbie and I am setting up a machine that already has dovecot installed. Since bugs are being resolved rapidly, it appears that I need to know the release version of dovecot I am running. Is there a command I can issue or a file I can examine to determine the release version of my installation? -- Randy

[Dovecot] transfer files from Plesk qmail to Dovecot and Postfix
by Frank Church 28 Mar '07

28 Mar '07

I have some files I want to transfer from Plesk qmail to Postfix with virtual mailboxes, MySQL, Maildir etc. I can add the accounts to the database manually as there are only a few of them. In the case of the mail folders, is it merely a matter of copying the mail files over, or are there some adjustments to be made to the files? I have noticed the thread about the Courier to Dovecot script and I wonder whether it may have a role in this process.

[Dovecot] auth server refusing connections intermittently
by Steven F Siirila 28 Mar '07

28 Mar '07

Running Dovecot 1.0-rc27 on Solaris 10.. We have been noticing intermittent messages of this sort and wondered if this indicates whether we need to add more dovecot-auth worker processes: Mar 28 03:15:41 myhost dovecot: pop3-login: Can't connect to auth server at default: Connection refused Mar 28 08:10:20 myhost dovecot: imap-login: Can't connect to auth server at default: Connection refused Mar 28 09:08:13 myhost dovecot: imap-login: Can't connect to auth server at default: Connection refused Mar 28 10:23:38 myhost dovecot: imap-login: Can't connect to auth server at default: Connection refused Mar 28 10:35:37 myhost dovecot: imap-login: Can't connect to auth server at default: Connection refused Mar 28 10:50:59 myhost dovecot: imap-login: Can't connect to auth server at default: Connection refused Mar 28 12:00:44 myhost dovecot: pop3-login: Can't connect to auth server at default: Connection refused Mar 28 12:07:31 myhost dovecot: imap-login: Can't connect to auth server at default: Connection refused Mar 28 14:44:57 myhost dovecot: imap-login: Can't connect to auth server at default: Connection refused However, this system has over 7,000 users and 1,500 simultaneous IMAP and POP3 connections, and we only see one dovecot-auth process running. By contrast, another server has over 11,000 users and 3,000 simultaneous IMAP and POP3 connections (but is currently running rc24), and we only have seen 3 of the above error messages there -- and there is only one dovecot-auth process there as well. Does this sound right? Also, how many times are these connections retried (and at what sleep interval, if any) before it gives up? -- Steven F.

[Dovecot] Removing users maildir DOVECOT+LDAP

Hi all, Does anyone have an idea how can I remove(delete) my virtual mail users' maildir? I have Dovecot + LDAP and I would like to do something like this: When I remove an user entry in my ldap server, it should remove my user directory information. Does anyone has this implemented? Or have an idea? I can remove users entry in my ldap server remotely, is there some way in dovecot? I'm asking this, cause I'm very familiar with Cyrus and I can do this with it.

[Dovecot] Deliverm, vpopmail, and valias
by John Peacock 28 Mar '07

28 Mar '07

I'm in the final stages of testing my e-mail server to come and I seem to have hit a roadblock. One option of current vpopmail is to store all aliases in a valias table, that looks like this: +-------------+----------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +-------------+----------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | alias | char(32) | NO | MUL | | | | domain | char(64) | NO | | | | | valias_line | text | NO | | | | +-------------+----------+------+-----+---------+-------+ where valias_line could be either an e-mail address (preceded by an ampersand) or a command (piped to vacation for example). I have already accepted a message for an aliased address, but the MTA isn't going to be rewriting the envelope address, so how can I get dovecot's deliver to dereference the alias and deliver to the correct Inbox? Because of the number of other hops[1] that the message is going through, I don't want to rewrite the destination address unless I really have to, but if that is the only option, that is what I'll have to do. Thoughts? John 1) inbound e-mail hits a qpsmtpd instance which validates e-mails using several different filtering techniques. Next the mail gets fed to a dspam appliance running two Postfix queues (one before dspam and one after). Mail that isn't quarantine by dspam gets sent to the delivery server (currently running qmail) and delivered to the final destination (modulo sieve rules under deliver). The only place I could conceivably rewrite the address would be the second Postfix queue. -- John Peacock Director of Information Research and Technology Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group 4501 Forbes Boulevard Suite H Lanham, MD 20706 301-459-3366 x.5010 fax 301-429-5748

Hi. I'm still facing troubles on my way. This time concerning ssl encryption. only dovecot-auth starts... imap and pop3 go down with this log dovecot: Mar 23 18:34:19 Info: Dovecot v1.0.rc27 starting up dovecot: Mar 23 18:34:20 Error: Temporary failure in creating login processes, slowing down for now dovecot: Mar 23 18:34:20 Error: imap-login: Can't load certificate file /etc/ssl/certs/server.pem: error:2507006C:lib(37):func(112):reason(108) dovecot: Mar 23 18:34:20 Error: child 849 (login) returned error 89 dovecot: Mar 23 18:34:20 Error: imap-login: Can't load certificate file /etc/ssl/certs/server.pem: error:2507006C:lib(37):func(112):reason(108) dovecot: Mar 23 18:34:20 Error: imap-login: Can't load certificate file /etc/ssl/certs/server.pem: error:2507006C:lib(37):func(112):reason(108) dovecot: Mar 23 18:34:20 Error: child 847 (login) returned error 89 dovecot: Mar 23 18:34:20 Error: child 848 (login) returned error 89 I attemped with makecert.sh, myown certificate which works with qmail-pop3d/stunnel, and cacert.org. All the times i get the same error. my dovecot.conf says: ## ## SSL settings ## #ssl_listen = #ssl_disable = no ssl_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/server.pem ssl_key_file = /etc/ssl/private/private.key #ssl_key_password = #ssl_ca_file = #ssl_verify_client_cert = no ssl_parameters_regenerate = 128 ssl_cipher_list = ALL:!LOW verbose_ssl = yes I spent a week trying to solve this out.

[Dovecot] ignoring some subfolders [potential wishlist]
by Arkadiusz Miskiewicz 28 Mar '07

28 Mar '07

Hello I'm looking at migration path from my current setup (tpop3d/courier-imap) and I seem to miss one feature - ability to ignore some subfolders for pop3. tpop3d allows me to say: maildir-ignore-folders: Spam Trash trash Sent sent-mail POP3-Invisible (would be stupid to fetch own sent-mail via pop3 again 8-) In recent tpop3d cvs version I can also use regexps like maildir-ignore-folders: ^IMAP-Only.*$. Is it possible to ignore some subfolders in dovecot per protocol (like for pop3 only and not imap) ? If not then please consider this as wishlist, maybe in form of location negation like: mail_location = \ maildir:/var/mail/%Lu:!maildir:/var/mail/%Lu/.Something (which doesn't look sane) or with separate config directive like in tpop3d -- Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz PLD/Linux Team arekm / maven.pl http://ftp.pld-linux.org/
