[Dovecot] 2.2.x autobuilds: Debian Stable now Wheezy, which pool for 2.2.x?
by Ron Leach 15 May '13

15 May '13

List, good evening, just installed a new Debian Stable (Wheezy). The Debian Stable repositories now include Dovecot 2.1.7 as standard. I haven't installed that because I wanted to try 2.2.x on this new clean install but unsure which 'pool' to use in the xi.rename-it.nl repository of autobuilds. http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/pool/ Wheezy became Stable on May 5, just a few days ago. I'm not sure whether to still follow the advice in the wiki for obtaining 2.2.x for Wheezy, which (understandably, because the new Debian Stable release has been so very recent) continues to refer to Wheezy as 'testing'. http://wiki2.dovecot.org/PrebuiltBinaries#Automatically_Built_Packages Presumably, the packages in the 'testing' autobuild system pick up Debian's 'testing' pool libraries (or assume them to exist) and these may no longer be the ones needed for Wheezy because Wheezy is 'Stable', in Debian-speak. Does anyone know, for sure, which autobuild pool to now use for 2.2.x for Wheezy? http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/pool/stable-auto/ or http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/pool/testing-auto/ 2.2.x in 'stable-auto' doesn't seem to have changed since before Wheezy was released, whereas 2.2.x has changed in 'testing-auto', and I'm not sure what to make of that. Stephan does suggest that queries be directly written to him, but I posted here because I thought I might not be the only person who was unsure. I'd be grateful for any advice, regards, Ron

[Dovecot] Idea: POP3 deletion as a flag
by Timo Sirainen 14 May '13

14 May '13

GMail doesn't delete mails when POP3 client issues a DELE command for it. Instead they just become invisible for future POP3 sessions, but they still exist for IMAP/webmail. The same could be implemented pretty easily for Dovecot: - Add a new setting to enable this: pop3_deleted_flag = $POP3Deleted - When DELEting a message, add this flag to the message. - When listing messages, skip all messages that have this flag. - Also hide this flag from IMAP clients(?) Thoughts? Probably 20 lines of new code.

I have Doveot 2.1.1 on Centos, all's well user mails are kept for 60 days, then, 'aged off' (deleted) a Mac user with two domains and two dozen users asked me: can I set a mail server on my home Mac server, and, 'mirror' the real mail server mailboxes so than I can have an offline mail archive for ever ? I know very little about Macs, can I setup dovceot on Mac? any tips/suggestions/howtos for mirroring/archiving as so?

[Dovecot] Any way to let dovecot block pop3 attempts?
by Steve Campbell 12 May '13

12 May '13

Is there a way using dovecot facilities to block an IP from attempting POP3 connections (similar to the sendmail access file for smtp connections)? I usually do this at my border firewall, but if there's a quick and dirty way in dovecot to do this, it'd make life a little simpler. Thanks steve campbell

Re: [Dovecot] change inbox dotlock name
by Chris Saldanha 10 May '13

Axel Luttgens <AxelLuttgens(a)swing.be> wrote: > But I fear I don't understand your problem description. > Could you elaborate? Hi Axel, The issue is that the procmail port on FreeBSD doesn't acquire a dotlock when it's the default lock file (/var/mail/username.lock). It prints that it's bypassing the dotlock and just does a lockf() lock after. Looking in the code for procmail, it seems that it's being too clever with a bunch of checks and so it doesn't try to get the lock -- it's decided it doesn't want to before doing it. The permissions and runtime environment permit the lock, and the same lock is acquired correctly by dovecot when writing to the inbox. I'm doing dotlock and then lockf() locking in all the mail software. procmail's checks only seem to apply to the default lock file for the inbox. If I specify an alternate name in the .procmailrc for the $ORGMAIL delivery of the message, then it will acquire any other lock I ask, including an alternate name in the /var/mail directory. I'll dig into the procmail sources as needed to resolve it, but I had hoped that I could get dovecot to lock with a different filename, because that would resolve the issue with minimal hackery...
