[Dovecot] Shared folder not listing
by Tom Clark 16 Sep '11

16 Sep '11

Hi Timo, I've got a weird problem on our dovecot. We're trying to setup private shared folder access. I have 2 users. tom(a)mailbox.com and system(a)mailbox.com. I have set the ACL's on all the folders (and subfolders) on system(a)mailbox.com. However, I'm not getting any of them listed when I check tom(a)mailbox.com <mailto:tom@mailbox.com's> 's IMAP folders. Our configuration is below (we're migrating from Courier hence the INBOX.): In 10-mail.conf: namespace { type = private prefix = INBOX. separator = . inbox = yes list = yes hidden = yes } namespace { type = shared separator = . prefix = INBOX.Shared.%%u location = maildir:%%h/Maildir:INDEX=~/Maildir/Shared/%%u subscriptions = no list = children } mail_plugins = acl protocol imap { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins imap_acl } In 90-acl.conf: plugin { #acl = vfile:/etc/dovecot/acls:cache_secs=300 acl = vfile } # To let users LIST mailboxes shared by other users, Dovecot needs a # shared mailbox dictionary. For example: plugin { acl_shared_dict = file:/var/vpopmail/domains/%d/shared-mailboxes } Have I missed anthing!?!? Thanks in advance! Tom

[Dovecot] Maildir "locking"
by Attila Nagy 15 Sep '11

15 Sep '11

Hello, I'm looking for the alternative of qmail's chmod -t (sticky bit on the maildir root) for Dovecot. What I'm trying to achieve with this lock: - Dovecot lmtp should give back a temporary error (so the email will be deferred and re-delivered later) - all other Dovecot daemons (pop, imap) should work as usual, but should not alter maildir contents (they can modify their own files, like indexes, logs etc) What is the best way to do this? If there is no such thing currently, would it be hard to implement the sticky bit checking on the root? Thanks,

[Dovecot] Which dovecot-antispam with dovecot 2?
by Svoop 14 Sep '11

14 Sep '11

Hi I'm a little confused as there are two repos for the dovecot-antispam plugin. Eugene's hg repo is explicitly labeled "for Dovecot 2", but the Johannes' git repo has commits later in date: hg: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Antispam git: http://git.sipsolutions.net/?p=dovecot-antispam.git I guess the unrelease hg code ist the one for Dovecot 2, but what is Eugene's 1.4 code for? Thanks!

[Dovecot] Shredding instead of deleting
by Mike Cardwell 14 Sep '11

14 Sep '11

Hi, I have a wishlist item. Is there an appropriate place for me to post it? Basically, I would like to know that my email isn't recoverable from the local disk on the mail server after I delete it. So instead of just deleting the file from my Maildir, I'd like the option to exist for Dovecot to shred it.. Ie, overwrite the file with random data and/or null bytes before deletion. In the same way that GNU shred behaves: https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/shred-invocation.ht… -- Mike Cardwell https://grepular.com/ https://twitter.com/mickeyc Professional http://cardwellit.com/ http://linkedin.com/in/mikecardwell PGP.mit.edu 0018461F/35BC AF1D 3AA2 1F84 3DC3 B0CF 70A5 F512 0018 461F
