[Dovecot] Question about imaps
by jgiles＠cybermesa.com 21 Nov '11

21 Nov '11

Hi List! Had a questions about imap vs. imaps. I read the ssl article at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SSL and from what I am reading, imaps is no longer needed as imap with initiate SSL/TLS on its own if STARTTLS is started and I have disable_plaintext_auth=yes and ssl=required settings. I do have SSL up and working, and can connect using imap (143) to my server without issue, but was not able to connect using imaps (993) using Kmail as my client. I Was getting a client error stating that the authentication failed using my password. However, there was nothing in the mail.err or mail.log file even when I enable debugging. If I specify imaps as my only protocol, then dovecot fails to even start without any error loging at all. As I stated, imap works just fine. So, is imaps deprecated as mentioned in the article and imaps no longer needed? I am running Dovecot 2.0.13 on an Ubuntu 11.10 64bit server. This server is simply an imap serer and not a MTA (No postfix or sendmail installed.) Thanks! Joe

[Dovecot] issues with 2.1b1 on OS X
by metro_domain_admin＠fastmail.fm 21 Nov '11

21 Nov '11

Two issues came up for me when building 2.1beta1 on OS X (10.5.8 on PPC). The first was already mentioned in an earlier thread by a BSD user (http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2011-September/061201.html) I just wanted to point out that the error is still occurring in spite of a new test for GNU ld in the configure script. I needed to remove "-no-undefined" specifically: #NOPLUGIN_LDFLAGS="-no-undefined" if test "$with_gnu_ld" = yes; then NOPLUGIN_LDFLAGS="$NOPLUGIN_LDFLAGS -Wl,--as-needed" fi More important, Dovecot aborts on launch with the following error: Nov 19 10:23:52 kerio2 dovecot[33553]: master: Fatal: kevent(EV_ADD, READ, 16) failed: Invalid argument I configured using the same args as I had used successfully on 2.0.15: --with-gssapi --with-ldap --with-sql --prefix=/opt/dovecot-2.X.X. I also tried an exact copy of my known-good config from 2.0.15, to no avail. Thanks, Tony

[Dovecot] Released Pigeonhole v0.2.5 for Dovecot v2.0.16
by Stephan Bosch 19 Nov '11

19 Nov '11

Hello Dovecot users, Before I move active development of Pigeonhole to Dovecot v2.1, I first release all the pending bug fixes and small improvements. Changelog v0.2.5: + Sieve vacation extension: made discard message for implicit delivery more verbose - The sieve-test tool: mixed up original and final envelope recipient in implementation of command line arguments. - Sieve vacation extension: resolved FIXME regarding the use of variables in the :handle argument. Variables are now handled correctly. - Sieve body extension: fixed handling of :content "message/rfc822". This now yields the headers of the embedded message as required by the specification. Handling of :content "multipart" remains to be fixed. - LDA Sieve plugin: fixed problem with recipient_delimiter configuration. Now it falls back to global recipient_delimiter setting if plugin/recipient_delimiter is not set. The release is available as follows: http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/2.0/dovecot-2.0-pigeonhole-0.2.5.tar.gz http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/2.0/dovecot-2.0-pigeonhole-0.2.5.tar.gz.sig Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.0 wiki for more information. Have fun testing this new release and don't hesitate to notify me when there are any problems. Regards, -- Stephan Bosch stephan(a)rename-it.nl

[Dovecot] CCing outbound IMAP mail?
by Dave Stevens 18 Nov '11

18 Nov '11

For some users on my site I'd like to be able to CC a particular user on all outgoing IMAP mails. Incoming I can do but don't see how to do outgoing. Ideas?

[Dovecot] Mail_quota plugin and LDAP on Dovecot 1.2
by Victor 18 Nov '11

18 Nov '11

Hi, I'm new in this List, but I have 6 years using Dovecot on my debian from etch,lenny and now squeeze Package: dovecot-imapd Version: 1:1.2.15-4 Tags: squeeze -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/24 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages dovecot-imapd depends on: ii dovecot-common 1:1.2.15-4 secure mail server that supports m ii libc6 2.11.2-10 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libldap-2.4-2 2.4.23-7 OpenLDAP libraries ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8o-4 SSL shared libraries the quota_imap plugin not working when I use against MailquotaSize Attribute of LDAP users. this setup works perfectly on lenny and dovecot-imapd 1:1.0.15-2.3 but on squeeze dovecot-imad 1:1.2.15-7 doesn't work, the service is up, but The quota does not display. In logs nothing happens the configuration in dovecot.conf below protocol imap { mail_plugins = quota imap_quota } protocol lda { mail_plugins = quota } userdb ldap { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf } the configuration in dovecot-ldap.conf below uris = ldap://server-ldap.com.ve auth_bind = yes ldap_version = 3 base = dc=dominio,dc=com,dc=uk deref = never scope = subtree user_attrs = homeDirectory=home,uidNumber=uid,gidNumber=gid,mail=Maildir,mailQuotaSize=quota=dirsize:storage user_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%u)) pass_attrs = uid=user,userPassword=password,homeDirectory=userdb_home,uidNumber=userdb_uid,gidNumber=userdb_gid pass_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%u)) This is the same configuration in the 6 last years. So, I would really appreciate if give me a hand which are more than 15000 Users who administered easily taking the quota in the LDAP attribute. and I want to keep the scheme.

[Dovecot] dsync problems
by Micah Anderson 17 Nov '11

17 Nov '11

When a user renames their username, I am using dsync to copy their mail over to the new username's mail location[0]. Some of the dsyncs are failing with errors that I dont know how to work with, for example: dsync(<username>): Error: Trying to open a non-listed mailbox with guid=41fcd40303c8a64e432300007ef44c7a dsync(<username>): Error: msg iteration failed: Couldn't open mailbox 41fcd40303c8a64e432300007ef44c7a dsync(<username>): Error: Trying to open a non-listed mailbox with guid=41fcd40303c8a64e432300007ef44c7a dsync(<username>): Error: Trying to open a non-listed mailbox with guid=42fcd40303c8a64e432300007ef44c7a dsync(<username>): Error: Trying to open a non-listed mailbox with guid=43fcd40303c8a64e432300007ef44c7a dsync(<username>): Error: Trying to open a non-listed mailbox with guid=44fcd40303c8a64e432300007ef44c7a ERROR: dsync failed, exit code: 256 The errors cause a non-zero exit code from dsync, which causes my rename script to bail out. What are these errors, and how can I fix them? Thanks, micah 0. Why use dsync instead of a simple mv operation? This seems to be necessary for two corner cases: 1. dovecot creates the new mailbox automatically when the user logs in or receives a mail, so if the user changes their mail and logs in or receives an email before the move has been done, then the mailbox is created and then a move command will fail. 2. If there has been new mail created under the new name, we can't just simply remove the stuff that is automatically created there and replace it with the old things because we could potentially be removing mail that has been delivered in the mean time. I'd be really interested if people had suggestions for a better mechanism, or perhaps a way to have dovecot not create the new mail location automatically. --
