[Dovecot] Vacation -- reply to another address than envelope from
by Vegard Svanberg 19 Jun '11

19 Jun '11

Vacation (Sieve) replies to the envelope address. However, I have a customer which receive e-mails from a service which sends e-mails on behalf of a user (submitted through a web form). So an e-mail would be like (envelope from and from-header is webformfromwhatever(a)foobar.com) From: webformfromwhatever(a)foobar.com To: mycustomer(a)hisdomain.com Reply-To: usersrealmailaddress(a)example.com I need the reply to go to the reply-to address. Can I handle this with Sieve? -- Vegard Svanberg <vegard(a)svanberg.no> [*Takapa@IRC (EFnet)]

[Dovecot] Default Global ACL
by Daniel L. Miller 17 Jun '11

17 Jun '11

Can I use the .DEFAULT files with global acls to access all mailboxes without explicitly sharing them first? Or must a share be created for every individual mailbox before they will appear in the shared namespace? -- Daniel

[Dovecot] ACL Groups
by Daniel L. Miller 17 Jun '11

17 Jun '11

From the wiki: ACL groups support works by returning a comma-separated acl_groups extra field <http://wiki2.dovecot.org/UserDatabase/ExtraFields> from userdb, which contains all the groups the user belongs to. User's UNIX groups have no effect on ACLs (you can "enable" them by using a special post-login script <http://wiki2.dovecot.org/PostLoginScripting>). I've read that over several times - I still don't understand that. Are "ACL Groups" defined and managed by Dovecot - and described somewhere else in the docs - or are they UNIX groups that previously had no affect on mail access but by being listed in the "acl_groups" field they now have relevance? -- Daniel

[Dovecot] pop3-login Error after dovecot 1.2.11 to dovecot 2.0.13

I recently upgaded from dovecot 1.2.11 to 2.0.13. I used this command on my dovecont.conf after the upgrade and then moved the new file into place after removing some plugins. $ sudo doveconf -n -c dovecot-1.conf > dovecot-2.conf After 24+ hours with no issues I was getting pop3 login failures. ... /path/to/log/dovecot.log:master: Error: service(pop3): read(status) failed: Interrupted system call ... /path/to/log/dovecot.log:Jun 17 05:25:47 pop3-login: Error: master(pop3): Auth request timed out (received 0/12 bytes) /path/to/log/dovecot.log:Jun 17 05:25:47 pop3-login: Info: Internal login failure (pid=1796 id=1) (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=<rriveter(a)domainname.com>, method=APOP, rip=123.4.5.6, lip=123.7.8.9 /path/to/log/dovecot.log:Jun 17 05:25:47 pop3-login: Error: master(pop3): Auth request timed out (received 0/12 bytes) /path/to/log/dovecot.log:Jun 17 05:25:47 pop3-login: Info: Internal login failure (pid=1797 id=1) (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=<jdoe(a)domainname.com>, method=APOP, rip=123.4.5.6, lip=123.7.8.9 /path/to/log/dovecot.log:Jun 17 05:25:47 pop3-login: Error: master(pop3): Auth request timed out (received 0/12 bytes) /path/to/log/dovecot.log:Jun 17 05:25:47 pop3-login: Info: Internal login failure (pid=1798 id=1) (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=<gkhan(a)domainname.com>, method=APOP, rip=123.4.5.6, lip=123.7.8.9 /path/to/log/dovecot.log:Jun 17 05:25:47 pop3-login: Error: master(pop3): Auth request timed out (received 0/12 bytes) ... /path/to/log/dovecot.log:Jun 17 05:40:34 pop3-login: Error: net_connect_unix(pop3) failed: Operation timed out ...

[Dovecot] ACL enabled Public folder dovecot
by kumar shantanu 17 Jun '11

17 Jun '11

Hi All, I am trying to do ACL enabled Public folder on dovecot version 1.1.20, but the ACL thing is not working, the public folder is visible and accessible to everyone. My dovecot config for public folder is like ######## namespace public { separator = / prefix = Public/ location = maildir:/var/mail/public subscriptions = no } plugin { acl = vfile } ######### and I have my dovecot-acl file in /var/mail/public/.test which reads ** user=test(a)mydomain.com lrw ** but every user can see the public folders and subscribe to it, which I don't want :( Can someone please suggest. Thanks in Advance, Shantanu

[Dovecot] Converting CLIENT_MAIL_DATA_MAX_INMEMORY_SIZE to a configurable?
by Attila Nagy 17 Jun '11

17 Jun '11

Hi, Currently Dovecot's LMTPd writes incoming emails to mail_temp_dir if it's bigger than 128k. But I would like to spare those unnecessary operations (creating a file, deleting it, writing into it, reading from it, checking whether there is free space and if not, rejecting (temporarily) the message). Memory is cheap, disk IO is not. :) And BTW, on a lot of systems, /tmp is a memory file system already, so there is absolute no need for this. I only fired two greps so far before writing this mail, in the hope that I can spare writing, testing and sending a patch, which will be either rejected, or rewritten. :) So, am I right that the following constant would be needed to be converted into a configurable setting and the task is done? static int client_input_add(struct client *client, const unsigned char *data, size_t size) { if (client->state.mail_data->used + size <= CLIENT_MAIL_DATA_MAX_INMEMORY_SIZE && client->state.mail_data_output == NULL) { buffer_append(client->state.mail_data, data, size); return 0; } else { return client_input_add_file(client, data, size); } } It could be defaulted to 128k, but the user could set it "unlimited" (0 or -1, depending on the author's mood, 0 and/or -1 being unlimited, or 0 being 0, meaning don't even store a bit -doesn't really make sense to me). LMTP is mostly protected from the outside world, so I don't see too much DoS potential here (absolutely not more than in the tmpfs case). Thanks,

[Dovecot] I can't setup namespace per user (with settings keept in sql db)

Hello! I'm trying to setup additional namespace. I'd like to have this setting per user and keep it in postgresql.

Re: [Dovecot] ZFS Filesystem Quota under Solaris 10 and Sparc

The original zfs implementation didn't have user quotas. You could only add quotas to individual file systems as a whole. They apparently added it into the source base in 2009: http://blogs.oracle.com/chrisg/entry/user_and_group_quotas_for but I'm not sure when/if it made it to production. My sol10u8 * (10/09) has it in the man page, but I know some things in the man page isn't in s10 (like sharesmb), so, as they say, ymmv. The current doc for user quotas are here: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E19253-01/819-5461/gazud/index.html If you don't want to use the filesystem quotas, you have to change your rules/configuration to match what dovecot has. See doc/wiki/Quota.Configuration.txt. Hope this helps. -r
