[Dovecot] doveadm import is always verbose
by Jürgen Obermann 08 Aug '12

08 Aug '12

Hello, with dovecot versions up to 2.1.9, when I use: doveadm import -u guser mbox:/tmp/mbox/guser/restore_2012-05-08 restore_2012-05-08 all it always sends out info messages for every mail copied like that: doveadm(guser): Info: copy from mymail: box=restore_2012-05-08/mymail, uid=5, msgid=<######>, size=6999462 I had expected to see these info messages only if I add the verbose option to doveadm. And using the option -v with: doveadm -v import -u guser mbox:/tmp/mbox/guser/restore_2012-05-08 restore_2012-05-08 all makes no difference at all, the same messages appear. The verbose option seems to be always on. Is this a bug or intended behaviour?

[Dovecot] Dovecot with Company - level Quota
by Kavish Karkera 08 Aug '12

08 Aug '12

Hi Timo, We are using maildir as quota-backend , and performing user level quota, which is working fine. (using dovecot 2.x ). Now the requirement is to , restrict the quota to client / company level along with user level quota. For. eg. We have a mailbox path like /mail/mailstore/10001/kavish.karkera(a)linoquery.com/Maildir/ where 10001 is Client code (unique number given to very client) instead of domain name. So there would be two quota's one at company level and other user level. Such as 10001(linoquery.com) = 5GB ---> Company Quota kavish.karkera(a)linoquery.com = 0 ? ---> User Quota If the sum of the user quota under 10001/* exceeds the 5GB limit then the mails for that particular domain should get bounced. Please Help , if this is possible. Regards, Kavish Karkera

[Dovecot] replication chain
by Костырев Александр Алексеевич 08 Aug '12

08 Aug '12

good day! I wonder if it is possible to make a chain of replication in dovecot 2.1.9. Now I'm using two way replication(I use proxy to redirect users) and it's working just fine but is it possible to setup replication like this: serverA ---> serverB --> server C <--- I've added additional mail_replica2 on serverB and after restart dovecot didn't complain about errors, with doveconf -n I am able to see two replica's settings but user's mails aren't replicating to server C. no errors in logs. I want to use server C as backup server with lvm snapshots.

Re: [Dovecot] connectionlimit for pop3s?

Do the same user(s) have this problem and/or do each user have their own mail configuration for their mail readers? If yes, I would also check that the port and security protocol matches (i.e. clear/TLS/SSL on ports 110/110/995 respectively). Mismatched configurations could cause what you describe. Log messages could also be helpful here. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

Re: [Dovecot] redirect actions exceeds policy limit
by Mike Greene 07 Aug '12

07 Aug '12

Thank you David, I saw that in the share/docs but we didn't have the /conf.d/ folder or any of the extra conf files in place. I created that directory, copied the file over, made my changes and all is well again. Not sure why things were setup the way they were, after looking at the other files in conf.d it would appear the previous sysadmin had merged a lot of those bits and pieces into the main dovecot.conf file. Perhaps leftovers from v1.x days. Will likely address that down the road when we update that server. Mike Greene Rock Island Technology Solutions, Inc.

[Dovecot] Pigeonhole sieve include namespace regression
by Daniel Piddock 07 Aug '12

07 Aug '12

Hi, We've recently upgraded from Dovecot 1.2.15 with Sieve 0.1.18 (Debian Squeeze) to Dovecot 2.1.8 and Pigeonhole 0.3.1. We provide a selection of global sieve scripts to make users' lives easier and one noticed that some of these have stopped working. I tracked it down to them having personal scripts with the same name. Using a really simple sieve script: require "include"; include :personal "svn"; include :global "svn"; sievec debug output for sieve 0.1.18 (trimmed a bit): * Required extensions: 0: include (16) 1: fileinto (5) * Included personal script 'svn' (block: 3): [script code here] * Included global script 'svn' (block: 4): [script code here] * Main program (block: 1): 00000000: EXTENSIONS [1]: 00000001: include 00000002: INCLUDE: 00000004: script: svn.sieve [ID: 1, BLOCK: 3] 00000006: INCLUDE: 00000008: script: svn.sieve [ID: 2, BLOCK: 4] 0000000a: [End of code] sievec debug output for Pigeonhole 0.3.1: * Required extensions (block: 1): 0: include (id: 16; block: 4) 1: fileinto (id: 5) * Included personal script 'svn' (block: 5): [script code here] * Main program (block: 2): Address Line Code 00000000: DEBUG BLOCK: 3 00000001: EXTENSIONS [1]: 00000002: include 00000003: 2: INCLUDE: 00000005: script: `svn' from /home/notroot/sieve/svn.sieve [ID: 1, BLOCK: 5] 00000007: 3: INCLUDE: 00000009: script: `svn' from /home/notroot/sieve/svn.sieve [ID: 1, BLOCK: 5] 0000000b: 3: [End of code] As can be seen the personal script is included twice. Obvious work around is to rename the personal script. However it'd be nice if namespacing came back.

[Dovecot] connectionlimit for pop3s?
by Hajo Locke 07 Aug '12

07 Aug '12

Hello, i have a user who is able to do pop3 on port 110 without problems and without limits. There are ~10 real users using same public IP. When switching to port 995 to use pop3s he is limited at connection count. Some people can reach pop3s-server successful, some getting a timeout. I cant find any errors or limits within my config or in my log, there are no differences between using plain text and using tls. Are there some special loglines to grep for at this situation? Maybe i missed some lines... At the moment i dont see server-side problems. Somebody knows some typical clientside problems when this problem occurs? dovecot version is 1.2.11 Thanks, Hajo
