[Dovecot] The problem is in the folder, not in the messages
by Karl Eklund 11 Feb '04

11 Feb '04

About my problem with "dovecot crashes on certain spam messages", I have found that deleting the mail it is working on when it crashes just makes it crash on some other message, but deleting .imap.index.* from the directory of the folder in question makes everything good again.

[Dovecot] Dovecot on FreeBSD 4.9 - "Invalid Password Field"
by Jamie Heckford 11 Feb '04

Hi, I am attempting to get dovecot up and running on FreeBSD 4.9..... Tried with the default config file and my own one (below) but when trying to login I get the following: Feb 10 17:59:53 cobain dovecot-auth: passwd(jamie): invalid password field '*' It seems like it is trying to read straight from /etc/passwd? I thought it called getpw(). Is this a common error and could anyone shed some light on how to fix it?

[Dovecot] ANNOUNCE: Mailadmin - New web interface for virtual domains
by John Thompson 09 Feb '04

09 Feb '04

Hey there, I've written a(nother) web front end for postfix + dovecot + mysql, it's called Mailadmin. (I'm sure you could use it with another POP/IMAP server, I haven't though) You can download it at: http://waste.org/~jello/mailadmin/ Some features are: o Licensed under the GPL o Written in perl o Written with security in mind o Supports regular mailboxes, forward-only boxes, and catchalls. o Ability to undelete deleted users (You'll have to do this manually for now (see TODO)) o You can add as many admins as you want, and they can only see or modify their own domains/users. o Uses HTML::Template, so you can edit the pages to appear as you want without having to muck through a bunch of code There are still a few features left to add (deleting domains for instance), but it's been working great for me for a while. Also, Debian Sarge (or later) users can use the install script and brief instructions to go from a bare-bones install to fully working postfix + dovecot + mysql virtual domains with web front-end in 5 or 10 minutes. Guaranteed! (ok, maybe not _guaranteed_, but it's quite easy). Feedback is much appreciated.

[Dovecot] CRAM-MD5 support?
by S Tanaka 08 Feb '04

08 Feb '04

Hi, I'm wondering what is dovecot's support for CRAM-MD5? The mailing list for November 2003 seems to indicate that Timo has included it into the CVS tree, however the ChangeLogs in the latest version does not say anything about it. The online docs has indicated that it's supported, but the doc files in 0.99.10.4 doesn't seem to mention about it.... Thanks in advance.

[Dovecot] Illegal characters in message names
by Lars Skovgaard 06 Feb '04

06 Feb '04

Hi all I've set up Dovecot to use maildir-storage according to the previous hint from Blair Zajac, and it's working perfectly. However, I still have a problem with the way procmail wants to name the received emails. The following is a slightly modified extract from my logs: procmail: [5373] Thu Feb 5 23:59:14 2004 procmail: Assigning "MAILDIR=/Users/name/Maildir/" procmail: Assigning "ORGMAIL=/Users/name/Maildir/" procmail: Assigning "DEFAULT=/Users/name/Maildir/" procmail: Assigning "INCLUDERC=/Users/name/Library/rc.myrules" procmail: Match on "^From:.*someone@somewhere.com" procmail: Error while writing to ".Folder/tmp/1076021954.5373_0.y/rc.myrulessomewhere.com" procmail: Couldn't create or rename temp file ".Folder/tmp/1076021954.5373_0.y/rc.myrulessomewhere.com" procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=/Users/name/Maildir/new/ 1076021954.5373_1.rp.comsomewhere.com" procmail: Notified comsat: "name@0:/Users/name/Maildir/new/1076021954.5373_1.rp.comsomewhere.com" As you can see, procmail puts a slash in the middle of the name, which of course is not allowed. This causes the rule to break, and the mail to be delivered to the default mailbox instead of the intended. Does anyone know how to control which characters are allowed in procmail, or how to control the naming eg. by way of grep? /Lars

When checking multiple POP3 accounts against Dovecot + ldap AUTH with outlook XP and Mail.app password dialogs randomly request that you reenter the password.

[Dovecot] Newbie question: How to make dovecot read /var/mail/user while using Maildir
by Lars Skovgaard 05 Feb '04

05 Feb '04

Hi I've been trying to figure out how to make dovecot read the system standard /var/mail/user, which is in mbox-format, while at the same time using Maildir as the preferred method of storage. When in Maildir-mode, I can store mail on the server without a hitch, but I don't receive mails. When in mbox-format, I can read and write, but the risk of corrupting mails is to high for me to consider mbox as an option. I would appreciate to hear from anyone who has a possible solution to this. Info about my system: MacOSX 10.2 Jaguar Apache 2.0.47 running Squirrelmail 1.4.2 PHP 4.3.2 Sendmail 8.12.9 Procmail v3.21 /Lars

[Dovecot] Dovecot crashes on certain spam messages
by Karl Eklund 05 Feb '04

05 Feb '04

Dovecot crashes. I think it's because of some message in my spam folder. It has happened once before, and that time I solved it by deleting that folder. It happens when I start gnus ("Checking messages in folder spam" or something like that), which makes gnus just stop, or when I try to enter that folder in mutt. Jan 30 17:07:09 kalle imap(ke): file imap-bodystructure.c: line 278 (part_parse_headers): assertion failed: (part->physical_pos >= input->v_offset - start_offset) Is there something I can do to determine which message it crashed on? Maildir format, version 0.99.10.4.

[Dovecot] dovecot crash on sendfilev64 on solaris 8 (32bit) (WORKAROUND)
by Fabio Pietrosanti (naif) 04 Feb '04

04 Feb '04

Hi, related to my previous email i found that setting "mail_save_crlf = no" instead of yes make dovecot working. However if enabled on solaris 8 it doesn't work hanging on sendfilev64() call. I noticed that maildir file names are still different from maildrop and dovecot but now works. However moving bigger mailbox from local storage to remote imap server i receive "Disconnect for inactivity while waiting for command data" error triggered by client_input_timeout function in imap/client.c . The timeout is defined as CLIENT_CMDINPUT_TIMEOUT which is defined as CLIENT_OUTPUT_TIMEOUT which is 1 minute (60*1000) . I think that could be usefull to have this timeout tunable because when you tranfer into the imap server large quantity of data if it takes more than 1 minutes, process goes timeout ( altought with mutt 1.4i client ) . Regards -naif

A regular FAQ on the SA-Talk list is how to integrate SA into someone's IMAP/POP3 server, and once Dovecot gets popular, you'll start seeing that question here. I run SA from sendmail via MIMEDefang (to reject the egregious stuff), and from procmail on delivery (to tag and quarantine the borderline stuff). I'm not sure why people would use it in the IMAP server, but the question does come up.

[Dovecot] Migrating from UW: mbx detection and conversion
by Kenneth Porter 30 Jan '04

30 Jan '04

I want to migrate my big mail folder hierarchy in preparation for converting from UW-IMAP to Dovecot. I've got a bunch of mbx format folders but some remain mbox. Has anyone done this? Any scripts out there for automating the conversion to all-mbox? I believe the only format conversion available is mailutil (part of UW-IMAP) and it works by opening an IMAP connection to the server and moving messages from one folder to the other. Is there any simpler method?

[Dovecot] Dovecot not creating dirs
by marko sarunac 30 Jan '04

30 Jan '04

I have looked trough the archives and found similar scenarios but mine is a bit diff I got dovecot running (0.99.10.4-2) on debian testing and what is happening is that i created /home/marko/mail directory and configured my postfix to deliver mail to ~/mail/Inbox my default mail env is default_mail_env = mbox:%h/mail/:INBOX=%h/mail/Inbox:INDEX=%h/mail/.indexes Now when i first started my mozilla imap client what happened was! Jan 26 21:46:34 imap(marko): Can't create temp index /home/marko/mail/.indexes/.imap/INBOX/.temp.limbic.7523: No such file or directory Jan 26 21:46:34 imap(marko): utime() failed with index file /home/marko/mail/.indexes/.imap/INBOX/.imap.index: No such file or directory after i manually :~/mail$ mkdir .indexes :~/mail$ cd .indexes/ :~/mail/.indexes$ mkdir .imap :~/mail/.indexes$ cd .imap/ :~/mail/.indexes/.imap$ mkdir INBOX :~/mail/.indexes/.imap$ cd INBOX/ :~/mail/.indexes/.imap/INBOX$ i only get Jan 26 22:06:34 limbic imap(marko): utime() failed with index file /home/marko/mail/.indexes/.imap/INBOX/.imap.index: No such file or directory On the other note...when i try to delete any mail from Inbox using IMAP client i get "The current command did not succeed. The mail server responded: [TRYCREATE] Mailbox doesn't exist: trash" This obviously shows that dovecot can't create neither files nor directories I am using non system wide readable directories and just to try things i did chmod -R 777 mail from /home/marko didn't help any ideas and comments are greatelly appreciated!!!

[Dovecot] Customflags problem?
by Rick Johnson 25 Jan '04

25 Jan '04

I'm new here, but I'll just jump right in. I've been using Dovecot with Fedora for a bit with the default mbox format. I recently transitioned to the Maildir format since some users were getting mailboxes in excess of 1GB in size, which made expunging and flagging no easy task. Anyway, it appears now with Maildir, that customflags are "added" instead of "replaced". I.E. in Thunderbird or Mozilla, if I set a message label of 5 (Later), and then change it to 3 (Personal), all's fine. However, if I switch it back to Later, or attempt to remove it, the flags are not removed. When I examine the flags on the filename, I see something like :2,FSag. If I attempt to change to additional labels and/or flag the message, I'll end up with aefg on the same message. Unfortunately only the first flag is accepted, and Moz/Tbird keeps label 5 as "a" was "read" delivered first. If I mark label as none, the flags remain, meaning I have to manually rename the file to remove the flags. This wasn't a problem using the mbox format, since the flags were stored in the file itself. Is this something broken in how the reader is requesting or is it a fault in the dæmon itself not removing old customflags before adding new? I suspect something inside src/lib-index/maildir/maildir-index.c Also of note, Evolution can seem to remove them, but only does so upon exit. I've reproduced it in 0.99.10-6 (fedora core 1) and 0.99.10.4-1 (fedora devel) versions.

[Dovecot] Internal error during expunge

Hi, I'm using dovecot-0.99.10.4_1 on Freebsd. CPU architecture is i386. When ever I try to move messages og delete dem i get an internal error. Below I've tried to show what dovecot says. Mail gets stored using mbox format. After giving the internal error you kan try to expunge the mail again and it works without error. Any suggestions or ideas as to what could be wrong? is it a bug?

[Dovecot] Certificate Authority-signed certs in dovecot?
by Benjamin J. Weiss 19 Jan '04

19 Jan '04

Hi! Sorry if this has been covered. I've just started using dovecot and I've searched via google and I've downloaded the maillist archives, but I haven't found a solution. I'm using Fedora Core 1, with dovecot-0.99.10-6. When I'm at work, I access my home mail server using Outlook Express (I know, I know, but it's the only client I'm allowed to use at work). Now, I'm able to get to my email, but I get a warning popup box each time I connect to the server, that the authenticity of the certificate can't be verified. I'm assuming that that's because I am using a self-signed certificate. Now, I'm also using postfix, and it allows for me creating my own CA certificate, and using it to sign my own certificates. The /etc/postfix/main.cf entries are: smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/postfix/newreq.pem smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/postfix/newcert.pem smtpd_tls_CAfile = /etc/postfix/cacert.pem but while I see the following two lines in /etc/dovecot.conf: ssl_cert_file = /usr/share/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key_file = /usr/share/ssl/private/dovecot.pem I don't see how to specify my CA cert. I'm pretty much a noob when it comes to openssl, but I've been able to follow directions to get the TLS working in both postfix and dovecot. I just want to get rid of that annoying message. I figure that there's a way to sign my dovecot certs with the ca cert I've already created for postfix, and tell dovecot about it somehow. Has anybody done this? Thanks! Ben

[Dovecot] Outlook 2002 sp-2 and initial connection after OS reboot
by David Crisp 14 Jan '04

14 Jan '04

I have a strange problem that I have been experienceing with dovecot: Dovecot version : 0.99.10.4-1 Using IMAP: When I restart the OS (windows XP) and open up Outlook 2002 SP2 I don't automatically get my IMAP folders on the DOVECOT imap server. (the one on the uw_imap server open up straight away) When I click on inbox I cam given a message saying : unable to connect to imap folders When highlight the inbox and go to "file" "connect to <imap server>" I get the error again.. "unable to connect to imap folders" If I just leave Outlook open for a while the folders mysteriously connect themselves. Has anybody seen this before and does anybody have any ideas on what to do to fix things. Is this an Outlook problem or a dovecot problem? I searched the archives and theres been nothing recently about this kind of problem.

How can I get this to work? If I use namespace or something how would this be configured I cannot find much documentation that explains it well enough. example: what would I have to configure in dovecot.conf or otherwise? I would like to see this. INBOX -- sent | drafts |- (Maildir format from ~/Maildir) trash -- sent -- recieved | deamons |- (mbox format from ~/Mail) unixfolk -- Currently I can only see the ~/Maildir like so.

[Dovecot] SSL and STARTTLS
by Mark E. Mallett 08 Jan '04

08 Jan '04

I wanted to enable SSL on some alternate ports so that a limited number of people could try SSL access. But doing so enabled STARTTLS in IMAP, so that all IMAP users got surprised (at least those whose clients attempted to use it automatically). e.g.: # IP or host address where to listen in for SSL connections. Defaults # to above non-SSL equilevants if not specified. imaps_listen = *:xxxx pop3s_listen = *:yyyy # Disable SSL/TLS support. ssl_disable = no Is there a way to enable imaps/pop3s without enabling STARTTLS? (If so it's probably blindingly obvious and I am missing it..) Yours, mm

[Dovecot] folders not subscribed

when migrated from courier-imap, I found that all the sub-folders are not subscribed, I have to manually subscribe all of them.

Is it possible that the dovecot server auto-subscribe all sub-folders if the ".subscriptions" is not present in the Maildir? Thanks, Jerry

[Dovecot] Problem with Eudora
by Scott Klein 06 Jan '04

06 Jan '04

I'm trying to get Dovecot (dovecot-0.99.10-6) to work with Eudora (6.0 mac/win) and am having a real problem when I try to enable SSL, either TLS or alternate-port SSL. Although my other mail clients, mail.app, imp, etc. work just fine, either version of Eudora craps out when trying to connect via TLS or SSL -- on the mac I get the error Could not get mailbox list. 20 [CLOSED] IMAP connection broken (command) On the PC I get something similar. Sometimes, on the mac, I don't get the [CLOSED] part I get Unable to get the required mailbox list from the server I've tried the "esoteric settings" trick (setting "user plain text password" in the IMAP panel) but that doesn't work. Everything works fine when I turn SSL off. I'm kind of at my wit's end. Has anybody experienced this? Have I not read TFM? Hope y'all can help. Best, Scott Klein

[Dovecot] RE: Compile problem
by Alex S Moore 06 Jan '04

06 Jan '04

I am a package maintainer for the Solaris community site known as CSW or blastwave.org. A CSW user requested a dovecot package, so I am attempting to build the package. I downloaded 0.99.10.4 earlier this month and it compiles just fine on my test machine. I went to our CSW build machines to build a version that I can distribute. I got the latest CVS version and used the same environment variables and configure options as the build on my test machine. In src/lib-storage I get the following compile error. I do not have proxy-mail-storage.c on my test machine from the earlier download, so I hope this is a problem that you can easily fix. The environment is Sun SPARC on Solaris 8.

[Dovecot] DIGEST-MD5 Authentication
by Dominic Marks 06 Jan '04

06 Jan '04

Hello, I am confused by a problem I am having getting Dovecot to authenticate users with DIGEST-MD5. I am receiving the error message, "Unexpected service type in digest-uri". (cvs: mech-digest-md5.c, line 407) From an examination of the code it is clear that a check is performed to see if the first component of a the digest-uri triplet is the string "imap". The service type surely is IMAP, and from what I can gather of the expected format of the digest-uri triplet from the comments in the code it should be the first component. Is this just a case of inverted logic or am I mistaken ? Thanks, -- Dominic <dom at wirespeed.org.uk>
