[Dovecot] Dovecot alias and mailbox problem
by Jeroen Grusewski 08 Nov '11

08 Nov '11

Hi All, My Postfix / Dovecot / MySQL is running fine but I have the following issue: When I create the following mailboxes test(a)example.com and test1(a)example.com it is working fine. I can create an alias test2(a)examples.com => test1(a)example.com that is also working without a problem, only when I create test(a)example.com => test1(a)example.com email is only delivered to test1@.... instead to both test@.... and test1@.... I believe it is properly just a setting but please help me out here ! Let me know if you need any more information before I post configs etc. Best regards, Jeroen

[Dovecot] dsync and zlib
by Peer Heinlein 08 Nov '11

08 Nov '11

Will dsync also use zlib-compression when copying mails from one side to another? Wouldn't this be a good way to compress existing mails? http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Zlib says, there's no way to do that. But dsync should respect the zlib-Plugin...

[Dovecot] Failing to share folders when listescape is enabled (2.0.14)
by mailing lists 08 Nov '11

08 Nov '11

Hello, How I can share a folder with dots when the listescape plugin is enabled? In this example user001 is sharing two foders named "docs-abc" and "docs-a.b.c" to user002. The first folder (without dots) is seen by user002 but the second is not found by dovecot because it search a system folder named ".docs-a.b.c" but the system folder is ".docs-a\2eb\2ec" Nov 8 11:03:52 imap2 dovecot: imap(user002): Debug: acl vfile: file /var/virtual-maildir/user001/.docs-a.b.c/dovecot-acl not found drwx------ 2 vmail vmail 4096 2011-11-08 10:54 cur drwx------ 5 vmail vmail 4096 2011-11-08 10:57 .docs-a\2eb\2ec drwx------ 5 vmail vmail 4096 2011-11-08 10:57 .docs-abc -rw------- 1 vmail vmail 20 2011-11-08 10:57 dovecot-acl-list -rw------- 1 vmail vmail 248 2011-11-08 10:55 dovecot.index.log -rw------- 1 vmail vmail 96 2011-11-08 10:54 dovecot.mailbox.log -rw------- 1 vmail vmail 51 2011-11-08 10:55 dovecot-uidlist -rw------- 1 vmail vmail 8 2011-11-08 10:57 dovecot-uidvalidity -r--r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 0 2011-11-08 10:54 dovecot-uidvalidity.4eb8fc5b drwx------ 5 vmail vmail 4096 2011-11-08 10:57 .Drafts -rw------- 1 vmail vmail 15 2011-11-08 10:54 maildirsize drwx------ 2 vmail vmail 4096 2011-11-08 10:54 new drwx------ 5 vmail vmail 4096 2011-11-08 10:54 .Sent drwx------ 5 vmail vmail 4096 2011-11-08 10:54 .Spam -rw------- 1 vmail vmail 23 2011-11-08 10:54 subscriptions drwx------ 2 vmail vmail 4096 2011-11-08 10:54 tmp drwx------ 5 vmail vmail 4096 2011-11-08 10:54 .Trash # cat /var/virtual-maildir/user001/subscriptions Trash Sent Drafts Spam docs-abc docs-a\2eb\2ec # telnet localhost 143 Trying ::1...

[Dovecot] Attachements with SIS : shauld all the same files share the same inode ?
by Yann Dupont 08 Nov '11

08 Nov '11

Hello. I configured SIS , and all seems to work well, but I noticed something strange : For exemple, this attachement : 6e/2d# ls -al 6e2df299* | sort -n 104 instance of -rw------- 104 vmail vmail 346584 16 oct. 17:47 6e2df299fa96daec9b4735d07c494046429be4d6-ffd0d1xxxx The files are hardlinked, so it seems ok, but I also see 9 others files in the same directory : -rw------- 1 vmail vmail 346584 16 oct. 17:47 6e2df299fa96daec9b4735d07c494046429be4d6-0519df2a94fc9a4e1f4100008a6b99b6 -rw------- 1 vmail vmail 346584 16 oct. 17:47 6e2df299fa96daec9b4735d07c494046429be4d6-1790b92994fc9a4e1a4100008a6b99b6 as you can see, same prefix, If I compare them with diff, they are all the same files. ls -i show that 104 have the same inode, as expected, and the 9 remaining files have different inodes. I expected all the files share the same inodes. Is there something wrong here ? My setup is debian squeeze + auto packages from http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/ dovecot is 2:2.0.15-0~auto+21 thanks, -- Yann Dupont - Service IRTS, DSI Université de Nantes Tel : 02.53.48.49.20 - Mail/Jabber : Yann.Dupont(a)univ-nantes.fr

[Dovecot] How to define ldap connection idle
by Aliet Santiesteban Sifontes 08 Nov '11

08 Nov '11

I'm having a problem with dovecot ldap connection when ldap server is in another firewall zone, firewall kills the ldap connection after a determined period of inactivity, this is good from the firewall point of view but is bad for dovecot because it never knows the connections has been dropped, this creates longs timeouts in dovecot and finally it reconnects, meanwhile many users fails to authenticate, I have seen this kind of post in the list for a while but can't find a solution for it, so my question is how to define a idle ldap time in dovecot so it can reconnect before the firewall has dropped the connection or just close the connection under inactivity so when a user authenticate doesn't fails for a while until dovecot detects that the connection has hanged. Is this a feature request or there is already a configuration for this??? Thank's in advance and congrats tu Timo for this great app.

[Dovecot] Accessing a strange mailbox

I have a user who has a mailbox called: A----->B It seemed to work in courier fine, they managed to create it, and there are mails in it. However, dovecot is not letting the user access it, the IMAP server gives an error. I tried to rename it but I would also get an error: # doveadm mailbox rename A-----\>B AtoB doveadm(root): Error: Can't rename mailbox A----->B to AtoB: Mailbox doesn't exist: A----->B # doveadm mailbox rename A----->B AtoB doveadm(root): Error: Can't rename mailbox A----- to AtoB: Mailbox doesn't exist: A----- # doveadm mailbox rename 'A----->B' AtoB doveadm(root): Error: Can't rename mailbox A----->B to AtoB: Mailbox doesn't exist: A----->B # doveadm mailbox rename "A----->B" AtoB doveadm(root): Error: Can't rename mailbox A----->B to AtoB: Mailbox doesn't exist: A----->B # How can I deal with this mailbox (using mdbox here)?

[Dovecot] Converting from 1.12 to 2.0 questions about mail location?
by Knute Johnson 06 Nov '11

06 Nov '11

I'm building a new server and using a newer version of ubuntu server that uses Dovecot 2.0. I thought I would like to use Maildir instead of the mbox that was used in the previous server. What do I have to do to convert my mbox mail to Maildir? Or should I just use mbox and copy it over :-)? Thanks, -- Knute Johnson

[Dovecot] Safely restoring backups
by Micah Anderson 05 Nov '11

05 Nov '11

I'm trying to determine what the best way to restore mail with mdbox is. Restoring using maildir was trivial, I just used rsync --ignore-existing which wrote any mails that were removed and didn't touch things that already existed[1]. With mdbox things have become more complicated, and I haven't found a way to restore mail that doesn't result in many message duplicates. My backup setup is simple, I'm doing daily rsync backups of user's mailstores, as well as weekly backups, so I end up having on my backup server daily.1, daily.2, daily.3, daily.4, weekly.1, weekly.2... each containing the entire contents of the user's mdbox. The different restore methods I've tried are: 1. I tried rsyncing the different backup directories back to the mail storage host, and then doing: 'dsync -R backup -u $user mdbox:/path/to/to/daily.1/mdbox'[2] 'dsync -R backup -u $user mdbox:/path/to/to/daily.2/mdbox' This works ok, but it gives duplicates of every mail that already exists for every daily/weekly I dsync. This is what the rsync --ignore-existing avoided. This is particularly annoying if I restore the weekly, and multiple daily directories, because then you get a copy for every one you restore. I had thought that the individual message's GIDs would keep them from being duplicated? 2. I also tried to use 'doveadm import' in two different ways. The first way I created a 'restored_from_backups' folder and then import each of the daily.#, weekly.# mdboxes into their own subfolder within that folder, for example: 'doveadm import -u $username mdbox:/path/to/daily.1/mdbox restored_from_backups/daily1 all' 'doveadm import -u $username mdbox:/path/to/daily.2/mdbox restored_from_backups/daily2 all' ... etc. I then go through and subscribe the new folders[3] and the user ends up with a folder structure like this: restored_from_backups/ daily.1/ INBOX Trash folder1 folder2 daily.2 INBOX Trash folder1 folder2 etc. This works fine, except that it results in the user having a entire duplicate copies of their mailbox for each daily/weekly that I restore. That will quickly bring people over quota. 3. I also tried to use 'doveadm import' to import all the different directories all into the same restored_from_backups directory, so there are no subdirectories for each daily/weekly under restored_from_backups, like so: 'doveadm mailbox create -u $user -s restored_from_backups' 'doveadm -v -D import -u $user mdbox:/path/to/daily.1/mdbox restored_from_backups all' I then go through and subscribe the folders[3]. Using this method, the 'restored_from_backups' mailbox is created, and populated with the folders. The only problem with this method is the same as method #1: for every backup I restore, mails are duplicated. Is there a way I can restore things from backup and avoid duplicates? Is there another method I should try? thanks for any ideas, pointers, suggestions for improvement, etc. micah 1. this would of course bring back mails that were deleted, but that was fine as the user could deal with that. 2. yes, I know I could setup dsync on the backup server, and use dsync directly to pull the mails from there, but this is complicated in my situation due to how the backupserver works. 3. why doesn't doveadm import have a -s option to subscribe? --
