[Dovecot] Non-dovecot user looking for feedback
by Chris Ross 21 Dec '12

21 Dec '12

I've been using UW-IMAPd for neigh on forever (at least since 2001). But, as it's basically stalled, and I'm about to update the hardware that is my mail server, I thought it was time to review existing open-source IMAP servers. Dovecot is the top three in my looking. The other of the top three candidates, because I know of people who've used it, is Cyrus IMAP. So, I should note that my thoughts are "uw-imapd, because I already know how to use it", "Cyrus, because someone I know/trust liked it years ago", and dovecot, because "it seems stable, professional, and to meet all of my needs". I guess the biggest question I have is how files/folders are stored in the filesystem. uw-imapd has a "mbx" format that all of my folders are in, and also has support for mbox and maildir (i think). mbx had some advantages for speed access, which would be unimportant I assume with dovecot's indexes, but IIRC there was also some reason the mbox format coped poorly with multiple clients accessing the same folder at the same time. So, am I right that dovecot supports only the "one big full file" mbox format, and the maildir format? And if so, is it known to allow multiple simultaneous IMAP clients to access and monitor and/or modify the same folder simultaneously? After those questions, it's just a "what do you think the pros and cons of each are?" I know asking in this forum, that I will get most if not all votes for Dovecot. And that's fine, as long as you have specific reasons why it would be better for someone with only a handful of users and minimal time available to administer the systems in question. Thanks! I appreciate any and all feedback. - Chris

[Dovecot] backtrace from postgres dict
by Steffen Kaiser 20 Dec '12

20 Dec '12

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, since I enabled ACLs I get following backtrace. It looks like that it happens if the ACLs had been changed only. Also, it looks like that it always happens 1 minute after last "dict: Info: pgsql(localhost): Connected to database dovecot", no matter if the user is logged in (and idle) or logged off. Postgres logs: "could not receive data from client: Connection reset by peer" and "unexpected EOF on client connection". Is there some TCP keep alive issue? Postgres is using the "system default" for TCP keep alive. I'm currently testing ACLs via telnet, so the activity with the ACL dict is pretty low, hence, an idle timeout would make much sense. # ../../sbin/dovecot --version 2.1.10 (a4f02f6c0d32) dict connect string: connect = host=localhost dbname=db user=user 2012-11-28 10:03:39 dict: Info: pgsql(localhost): Connected to database dovecot 2012-11-28 10:03:39 dict: Info: pgsql(localhost): Connected to database dovecot 2012-11-28 10:03:39 dict: Info: pgsql(localhost): Connected to database dovecot 2012-11-28 10:03:58 IMAP(user) [22922]: Info: Disconnected: Logged out in=23 out=763 2012-11-28 10:04:41 dict: Panic: file driver-pgsql.c: line 84 (driver_pgsql_set_state): assertion failed: (state == SQL_DB_STATE_BUSY || db->cur_result == NULL) 2012-11-28 10:04:41 dict: Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/local/dovecot-2.1.10/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x4857a) [0x7f91f511157a] -> /usr/local/dovecot-2.1.10/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x485c6) [0x7f91f51115c6] -> /usr/local/dovecot-2.1.10/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_error+0) [0x7f91f50e4eaf] -> dovecot2.1/dict() [0x40aa36] -> dovecot2.1/dict() [0x40aa91] -> dovecot2.1/dict() [0x40bed3] -> dovecot2.1/dict() [0x409504] - -> dovecot2.1/dict(sql_db_cache_deinit+0x20) [0x408a60] -> dovecot2.1/dict(main+0x169) [0x405a59] -> /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xfd) [0x7f91f4b5cc8d] -> dovecot2.1/dict() [0x404bb9] 2012-11-28 10:04:41 dict: Fatal: master: service(dict): child 22923 killed with signal 6 (core not dumped) - -- Steffen Kaiser -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iQEVAwUBULXbiGoxLS8a3A9mAQI9Ywf/YItPO4fFT70HcuwCkDXgx0Sn7CEyXu2j +1VzOu3R/TMs1rcxYJIvWiei6Nk3wXywzQl84POadJn61Yf2NuT80nMxwBsBbgio e+0oRE9JNVSjtvX5l7kehEdUDQjqRRKyrhWG9KDlpjWidGsYh7pQg0rDtp3UwG57 HuSBMiBAZ9t9sC2DXjn9wT9vweH3gMIhc/K5U0BLF5JG/K8UAKc5QBUgezjIYzvn KP90TJ4RoZ2vnPzmWfeIsjffRBvvC6UUgWmU02e2H9xJxzF32Nix0s8YWi7G91sH Ei057HW5NsKNDtp6B5fYk+xCpC6ucQiwFSr/ZG+uZCAdtTd2qmf60g== =tQYK -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

[Dovecot] setting mail_home and vacation

20 Dec '12

Hello! dovecot version 2.1.7 I set up vacation with sieve. We have mboxes and maildirs and in dovecot.conf mail_location = mbox:/var/spool/vhosts/%d/dovecotprivate/%n:INBOX=/var/spool/vhosts/%d/%n Error: User archiv(a)xyz.de doesn't have home dir set, disabling duplicate database Dec 19 20:37:03 lda(archiv(a)xyz.de): Error: sieve: sieve script file path ~/.dovecot.sieve is relative to home directory, but home directory is not available. Dec 19 20:37:03 lda(archiv(a)xyz.de): Error: sieve: failed to access user's sieve script ~/.dovecot.sieve (using default script location instead) When I set mail_home = mbox:/var/spool/vhosts/%d/%n:INBOX=/var/spool/vhosts/%d/%n I get this for mboxes in the log: Error: user archiv(a)xyz.de: Relative home directory paths not supported: mbox:/var/spool/vhosts/xyz.de/archiv:INBOX=/var/spool/vhosts/xyz.de/archiv The .dovecot.sieve script of the user seems to be found, a vacation response is sent and the email is stored mail into mailbox 'INBOX' What is wrong?

[Dovecot] Problems trying to add dspam delivery to dovecot LDA to working Postfix/Dovecot server. No passdb.
by Brian Jarrett 20 Dec '12

20 Dec '12

Hello list, I'm really hoping someone can point me in the right direction on this. I set up a server using Postfix with LDAP lookups to Active Directory. Postfix delivers to maildir. Dovecot IMAP and POP are working correctly using PAM Kerberos to authenticate via Active Directory. I want to add spam filtering, so I'm trying to set up Postfix to use dspam which is then supposed to use Dovecot LDA to deliver messages to the mailbox instead of having Postfix deliver to the Maildir. I can't get any deliveries to Dovecot LDA to get past passdb lookup. When I run /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -f bjarrett(a)garfield16.org -d bjarrett(a)metcalfexcavation.com I get: Dec 19 20:57:55 mxserver2 dovecot: auth: Debug: master in: USER#0111# 011bjarrett(a)metcalfexcavation.com#011service=lda Dec 19 20:57:55 mxserver2 dovecot: auth: Debug: password( bjarrett(a)metcalfexcavation.com) passdb doesn't support credential lookups Dec 19 20:57:55 mxserver2 dovecot: auth: Error: static( bjarrett(a)metcalfexcavation.com) passdb doesn't support lookups, can't verify user's existence Dec 19 20:57:55 mxserver2 dovecot: auth: Debug: master out: FAIL#0111 Dec 19 20:57:55 mxserver2 dovecot: lda: Error: user bjarrett(a)metcalfexcavation.com: Auth USER lookup failed Dec 19 20:57:55 mxserver2 dovecot: lda: Fatal: Internal error occurred.

[Dovecot] Maildir hardlinks with sieve
by Benedetto Vassallo 19 Dec '12

19 Dec '12

Hi all, First of all, excuse me for my previous posts (Maildir hardlinks). Today I realized the following issue. Maildir hardlinks works OK on dovecot 2.1.10 without sieve. If set sieve plugin in dovecot-lmtp hardlinks stop working. Is there a way to have both sieve and hardlinks working?

[Dovecot] namespace subscription problem
by Holger Hegmanns 19 Dec '12

19 Dec '12

Hi all, my problem seems to be a cosmetic one (again). According to the docs: subscriptions: "yes" (default) if this namespace should handle its own subscriptions. If "no", then the first parent namespace with subscriptions=yes will handle it. Therefore is no way to create the following scenario: three namespaces (private, shared, public) the private namespace has to handle its own subscriptions the private namespace setup with "prefix = INBOX." the both shared and public namespace setup with "subscriptions = no" cause there is no so called "parent" namespace. Private namespace setup with "prefix = " works fine, but that's not what I want. namespace { type = public separator = . prefix = public. location = maildir:/var/spool/dovecot/vmail/public subscriptions = no } namespace inbox { type = private separator = . prefix = INBOX. inbox = yes } namespace { type = shared separator = . prefix = user.%%u. location = maildir:%%h/Maildir:INDEX=~/Maildir/shared/%%u subscriptions = no list = children } Any chance that the private namespace can subscribe to shared mailboxes with the principals above? ... Few hours later. Added a default namespace without any prefix: namespace { prefix = separator = . hidden = yes subscriptions = yes } Subscriptions works as expected, but when I telnet to dovecot now the LSUB command shows all boxes beneath the INBOX as well as without the prefix: b lsub "" * * LSUB () "." "Sent" * LSUB () "." "Templates" * LSUB () "." "Trash" * LSUB () "." "Drafts" * LSUB () "." "INBOX.Sent" * LSUB () "." "INBOX.Templates" * LSUB () "." "INBOX.Trash" * LSUB () "." "INBOX.Drafts" * LSUB () "." "INBOX.user.bar.Sent" * LSUB () "." "user.bar.Sent" b OK Lsub completed. Completely stuck Holgert
