[Dovecot] whoson plugin for 2.0
by Chuck Cochems 23 Nov '12

23 Nov '12

I have found a plugin at ftp://ftp.ufanet.ru/pub/boco/dovecot/whoson-plugin/ I was able to make it function on a dovecot 1.2.8 server, by changing __attr_unused__ to ATTR_UNUSED and strlcpy to i_strocpy (since glibc doesn't HAVE strlcpy, on purpose). However, it doesn't work with 2.1 this is, of course, because getenv() no longer functions lie it used to in plugins. so i need a replacement for getenv("IP") and getenv("USER") to make this work. i know, pop before SMTP is stupid, but the isp i'm doing this for hs customers that have used pop before smtp for ages. so I MUST make a whoson plugin. as i said, the remote ip and the email address are required to interface with whoson. (this is superior to DRAC, which just opens the IP)

[Dovecot] Initial status notification not received
by Nicolas KOWALSKI 23 Nov '12

Hello, We have SLES-11 SP2 Xen VMs running dovecot as IMAP proxies. At VMs startup, dovecot almost always shows these errors: Nov 16 14:29:19 server dovecot: master: Dovecot v2.1.10 starting up (core dumps disabled) Nov 16 14:29:55 server dovecot: master: Error: service(anvil): Initial status notification not received in 30 seconds, killing the process Nov 16 14:29:55 server dovecot: master: Error: service(log): Initial status notification not received in 30 seconds, killing the process Nov 16 14:29:55 server dovecot: master: Error: service(ssl-params): Initial status notification not received in 30 seconds, killing the process Nov 16 14:29:55 server dovecot: master: Error: service(log): child 3591 killed with signal 9 As the last line tells, dovecot stops logging information. We have to restart the dovecot processes to get back normal behaviour. I also tried to set idle_kill values to services definitions, without success. Is there a way to prevent these errors?

[Dovecot] User iteration with static userdb
by Radek Novotný 23 Nov '12

23 Nov '12

Hi all, can someone explain me, please, why user iteration (iterate_query) doesn't work with static userdb? There isn't reason why it shouldn't work. In my opinion. However static userdb doesn't mean that user list not exist. Thanks Radek

[Dovecot] Is there a hook for a plugin to do some transient operation on the mail body ...
by Jay 23 Nov '12

23 Nov '12

... when the MUA has issued a FETCH? I am a Dovecot newbie ... so please bear with me if this is obvious. Basically what I am trying to do is process the mail body (in my own specific way) before Dovecot serves it up to the MUA. I want to do it as a transient operation in memory. So think of the scenario as ... - the MUA issues a FETCH - Dovecot intercepts the FETCH - Dovecot internally gets the mail from the storage into a buffer in memory ----> This is where I'd like to apply a function to the mail body and modify the mail body in the buffer (not in the storage) - Dovecot serves up the (modified) mail to the MUA Looking for a hook that allows me to do it using a plugin. Looks like the zlib plugin does something similar ... applies a decompression function ... but I am not 100% sure. Thanks for your help. -- J.

[Dovecot] maildir and end-of-line encoding
by Christoph Anton Mitterer 23 Nov '12

23 Nov '12

Hi. I just wondered, the following: My MDA may get mails that use LF or CR/LF end of line encodings and deliver them into maildirs. I couldn't find any information about, whether one should or must convert all into one format, cause AFAIK at least on the IMAP side, CR/LF is always used? How does this work on the maildir/backend side of dovcot? Can it work with both and simply automatically convert LF into CR/LF? Thanks, Chris.

Thank you. One thing that still doesn't work is subscribing to all mailboxes via "*", I guess because the folder names start with "." but dovecot mailbbox subscribe wants it without a starting "." Any clues how that can be solved? Regards Andre
