[Dovecot] imap dumps core when connecting with mutt
by Arthur Titeica 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

Hello, I'm trying to investigate a problem with dovecot/imap dumping core when connecting connecting mith mutt (everything else works). imap(user@domain): Fatal: master: service(imap): child 31752 killed with signal 11 (core dumped) I managed to create a core file and passed that to gdb. The log is here [1]. I hope this helps - please tell me what else would be needed if not. Thanks. [1] http://paste.kde.org/622574/ -- Arthur Titeica

Hi all, Does anyone have an idea what could cause the below error?

[Dovecot] Non-standard fields?
by Attila Nagy 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

Hi, Non-standard fields are mentioned here: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/Maildir and they are stated as currently not used. Questions: - am I right that if they will be used, they will be key=value pairs, like fields in the base filename? Like: 1035478339.27041_118.foo.org,S=1000,W=1030:2,S,X=12,A=something - or are they supposed to be flags, like: 1035478339.27041_118.foo.org,S=1000,W=1030:2,S,ABCD - are there any plans to utilize these? Thanks,

[Dovecot] Dovecot Virtual Users with Sendmail
by DormitionSkete＠hotmail.com 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

I'm trying to get Dovecot working with Virtual Users and Sendmail on OpenIndiana 151a7. OpenIndiana is the Open Source continuation of OpenSolaris after Oracle tried to kill it off a couple of years ago shortly after acquiring Sun Microsystems. I'm not sure if this is so much a Dovecot problem, as much of a Sendmail problem. I thought this would probably be a better list to start with, though. If not, please let me know. I initially used this Dovecot wiki page to approach this: Simple Virtual User Installation http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/SimpleVirtualInstall I had to make few minor changes, but I don't think anything significant to the problem I'm having. I can log into SquirrelMail with both virtual users, and with system users. I can send mail to system users from both virtual and system users. I can see the mail that I sent in the Sent Messages folder for both types of users. I just can't send mail to virtual users. When I try to, I get the following message: ERROR: Message not sent. Server replied: Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable 550 5.1.1 <dswebstore@localhost>... User unknown My configuration info is as follows: systemuser@openindiana:~# /usr/local/sbin/dovecot --version 2.1.12 systemuser@openindiana:~# /usr/local/sbin/dovecot -n # 2.1.12: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: SunOS 5.11 i86pc auth_verbose = yes base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/ disable_plaintext_auth = no first_valid_uid = 101 info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-info.log log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log mail_location = mbox:/home/vmail/%u/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u passdb { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/passwd driver = passwd-file } pop3_uidl_format = %g protocols = imap pop3 service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { group = vmail mode = 0600 user = vmail } } ssl = no userdb { args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/home/vmail/%u driver = static } protocol lda { postmaster_address = systemuser@localhost } --- My dovecot password file looks something like this, though changed for obvious security reasons: systemuser:{PLAIN} systemuserPASS virtualuser1:{PLAIN}virtualuser1PASS virtualuser2:{PLAIN}virtualuser2PASS --- I read on this page that I needed to put the following in my sendmail dovecot.m4 file: Dovecot LDA with Sendmail http://wiki2.dovecot.org/LDA/Sendmail So this is my dovecot.m4 file, which shows up in my sendmail.cf file after recompiling my sendmail.mc file. ######################*****############## ### DOVECOT Mailer specification ### ##################*****################## Mdovecot, P=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda, F=DFMPhnu9, S=EnvFromSMTP/HdrFromSMTP, R=EnvToSMTP/HdrFromSMTP, T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix, A=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -d $u --- Finally, this is my sendmail.mc file: divert(-1) # # Copyright (c) 1983 Eric P.

I did not realize you wanted me to actually send you the logs. I thought you only meant for me to look to see if there was anything helpful in them. They do not show much.

[Dovecot] clucene-config.h location
by Dimitri 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

By deafult, CLucene installs the clucene-config.h header to /usr/lib/CLucene, but fts-lucene tries to include it from /usr/include/CLucene and fails. Here is how it is fixed in Fedora, for instance: sed -i '/DEFAULT_INCLUDES *=/s|$| '"$(pkg-config --cflags libclucene-core)|" src/plugins/fts-lucene/Makefile.in Indeed, Lucene's pkgconfig file reflects the fact that some headers reside in /usr/lib/CLucene. It would be great if Dovecot used pkgconfig for CLucene. Thanks, Dimitri Mageia Linux packager

[Dovecot] Can't rename mailboxes, any ideas on how to fix?
by Howard Leadmon 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

I am running Dovecot 2.1.12 under FreeBSD, and I use Outlook 2010 with imap to connect to my server. I know I used to be able to rename mailboxes, as I do this every year at year end, but when I went to rename some mailboxes the start of this year, blamo up popped the message "CANNOT Renaming not supported across conflicting directory permissions". Then only thing that has really been updated here, is Dovecot itself, as I know the FBSD port updates when new versions are released. Any clues on what may have caused this, or how to best correct it? --- Howard Leadmon

[Dovecot] Dovecot 1.2.7 and Roundcube LIST-EXTENDED commands
by aristidis fesarlis 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

Hi all, we use Dovecot 1.2.7 with Maildir, and recently we have set up the latest Roundcube webmail. Inside its config file,it is mentioned that: // By default list of subscribed folders is determined using LIST-EXTENDED // extension if available. Some servers (dovecot 1.x) returns wrong results // for shared namespaces in this case. http://trac.roundcube.net/ticket/1486225 // Enable this option to force LSUB command usage instead. I notice that it seems to work fine, though. We don't have shared namespaces. So my question is: should I change it to LSUB, or will I have problems with my Maildir subscriptions? Thanks

Hi, I have a public folder up and running. This public folder is shared across the company, but when one user makes a new folder then it is not automatically visible to othe users. They need to subscribe manually. Is there a way to automatically subscribe to this?

[Dovecot] Folder names
by James Starowitz 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

Running a pretty basic setup of imap +pop3 on version 2.1.10 Users are able to create folders in imap that contain "&" the folder on the backend reflects "&-" as it should, you can list folder, but then when you relog into imap then decides it can no longer subscribe to this folder due to invalid UTF characters. Essentially allowing users to lock themselves out by using a very common character in a folder name. Might one of the imap client compatibility plugins in imapd cause this quirkiness ? Should I be coming at this from another direction? Is this a bug?
