[Dovecot] sieve replace dot string for foldername
by Robert Schetterer 11 Apr '12

11 Apr '12

Hi, i am playing about mail archive this is what allready works for me require ["variables","date","fileinto","mailbox","envelope","subaddress","regex"]; # Extract date info if currentdate :matches "year" "*" { set "year" "${1}"; } if currentdate :matches "month" "*" { set "month" "${1}"; } if currentdate :matches "day" "*" { set "day" "${1}"; } if envelope :detail :matches "to" "*" { set "to" "${1}"; } if true { fileinto :create "INBOX.${year}.${month}.${day}.${to}"; stop; } but ${to} may have a dot included, foldernames with dot are not allowed in my dove setup yet ( and i dont want to change it ) i am looking for a way ( guess regex ) for replace a dot in string replaced by a space char on the fly -- Best Regards MfG Robert Schetterer Germany/Munich/Bavaria

[Dovecot] Username from rfc822Name subject alternative name
by Бранко Мај ић 11 Apr '12

11 Apr '12

Hello, I'm looking into adding support for extracting the username from client certificate's rfc822Name (from the subjectAltName extension). The question I have is what would be the best approach to do this? Current implementation has a kind of clean code since it just goes through the subject name, extracting the values with X509_NAME_get_text_by_NID (while NID is obtained with OBJ_txt2nid). If I were to add this, it's bound to make the code a little bit more complicated since SAN's can't be retrieved in the same way. So far in terms of options I have, I can see the following: 1. Create a distinct configuration option for the ssl_cert_username_field (i.e. specify something like "sanrfc822Name" to have Dovecot extract the username from the designated alternative name). 2. Make the current code fail-over to rfc822Name SAN if emailAddress is provided for ssl_cert_username (less invasion in code, but less flexibility as well). Any input/recommendation/directioning is welcome. I've wanted to actually first write a patch, and then submit it, but I think it might be better to check what would be preferable by Dovecot maintainers/devs. Best regards -- Branko Majic Jabber: branko(a)majic.rs Please use only Free formats when sending attachments to me.

[Dovecot] Dsync test on 2.1.3
by Jitendra Bhaskar 10 Apr '12

10 Apr '12

Hi, I am using dovecot version 2.1.3 on centos. I tested dsync from my live server to one of backup server. But I got that its working for most of the user and there is problem for few user. Some users got duplicated mail to their mailbox and I saw there is some extra folders i.e Sent Items_* , Draft_* and Trash_* in few users mail box. and I synced only from main server to backup server. I didn't enable mail_plugin in backup server. My configuration for testing of Dsync on master server is as: mail_plugins = $mail_plugins notify replication service aggregator { fifo_listener replication-notify-fifo { user = vmail mode = 0666 } unix_listener replication-notify { user = vmail mode = 0666 } } service replicator { # start replication at startup process_min_avail = 1 } plugin { #host1 replicates to host2 mail_replica = remote:root@backup_server } #dsync_remote_cmd = ssh -l%{login} %{host} doveadm dsync-server -u%u -l%{lock_timeout} -n%{namespace} dsync_remote_cmd = ssh -l root %{host} doveadm dsync-server -u%{user} -l%{10} -n%{namespace} service doveadm { user = root } And in backup server : service doveadm { user = root } 1. Problem is I am not getting why some user getting lots of duplicate mails. 2. Why duplicate folders like Sent Items_* and Trash_* created for few users 3. I used only one way syncing then why both replicated. Note: i am using root only for testing purpose * Thanks & Regards * *Jitendra Kumar Bhaskar* Cell:- +91 7306311531 +91 8102997821

[Dovecot] Authentication mechanism and Password scheme
by Костырев Александр Алексеевич 10 Apr '12

10 Apr '12

Good day! I'm just trying to figure out that my understanding of subject is correct. So, if I want to store passwords in my database encrypted with SSHA512 scheme, my only choice for Authentication mechanism is plaintext?

[Dovecot] Per IP virtual domain
by Stéphane Locatelli 10 Apr '12

10 Apr '12

Hello, My dovecot server (2.0.18 on FreeBSD 9) has multiple interface. I would like to configure the authentication (pop and imap) to append different domain according to the local IP address. I've tested this: local 10.0.0.1 { auth_default_realm = domain1.com } local 10.0.0.2 { auth_default_realm = domain2.com } But it doesn't work. I get this error message: doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf line 58: Auth settings not supported inside local/remote blocks: auth_default_realm -- Stephane Locatelli

[Dovecot] 2.0/2.1 - different behavior for LIST-EXTENDED
by Peter Mogensen 10 Apr '12

10 Apr '12

Hi Timo, We are sitting here wondering if this difference in behaviour between dovecot 2.0.17 and 2.1.3 is intended. When you create a folder, subscribe to it and rename it (without changing the subscription) these are the behaviours: For 2.0.17: . list (SUBSCRIBED) "" "*" RETURN (STATUS (MESSAGES)) * LIST (\Subscribed \NonExistent) "." "INBOX.test" For 2.1.3: . list (SUBSCRIBED) "" "*" RETURN (STATUS (MESSAGES)) * LIST (\Subscribed) "." "INBOX.test" * NO Mailbox doesn't exist: test If you don't use rfc5819 the folder will just get silently ignored by dovecot 2.1.x, but if you actually try to get the number of messages you'll get the error. It seems to me from reading rfc5258 that the 2.0.x behaviour is the correct ?? /Peter

[Dovecot] Problem with quota warning

Hi again, my test environment is working now and finally I tried to implement my quota warning but it is not working. LDA says the mailbox is full even it is not (only 81% and that is why the quota warning is executed). Further I used :noenforcing in my script.

[Dovecot] Multiply mailboxes vs one huge
by Alexander Chekalin 10 Apr '12

10 Apr '12

Hello, as I need to store a lot of messages on my IMAP server (order of 900K-1000K; this is an archive for some time, maybe a year or so), I see some "slowness" in dealing with such a huge amount. I mainly need to do searches like "get all messages from user1(a)domain1.com to user2(a)domain2.tld recieved between date1 and date2". So I really interested will it be wise to a) split all messages into several smaller mailboxes (per-month, or per-day, or create 2-level-structure like "month/day/") b) use dbox (vs currently used mbox) storage scheme (I'm afraid of mdbox as I still not sure I'll be able to parse it by scripts later "just in case") Dovecot is the latest one (2.1.3). No compression Dovecot-side, but it mails are in zfs volume with compression on. I ask this mainly due to my not fully understand how Dovecot indexes are working. I also test another approach: to use my own index somewhere outside Dovecot which will store reference between emails and UIDs, and dates and UIDs, so I'll simple query my index for things I need. But then, that's exactly what IMAP index can do, so I simple slow my search down, isn't it? The only reason I think about my own index is I won't use 'all header' as search scope, I need to deal only with From:, To:, Cc:, Bcc: (if any), Recieved (if nowehere else I see the from/to info), and date field(s) - I doubt IMAP will care for that for me. Yours, Alexander

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have a Dovecot installation on CentOS 5 where I sometimes mount external fs in /mnt Every Dovecot data is in local / file system, nothing is mounted elswhere After upgrading to 1.2.4 I rebooted the system for other reasons and at startup I got this on Dovecot log: master: Warning: /mnt is no longer mounted. If this is intentional, remove it with doveadm mount No /mnt entry in /etc/fstab and nothing pmounted under /mnt I THINK that the last time I used /mnt to mount something was few weeks ago to update VMware tools.
