It produced an additional confusing success message in case of error. - Removed header MIME-decoding to fix erroneous address parsing. Applies to address test and vacation command. Changelog ManageSieve v0.11.13: - ManageSieve: fixed bug in UTF-8 checking of string values. The releases are available as follows: Sieve http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2-sieve-0.1.19.tar.gz http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2-sieve-0.1.19.tar.gz.sig ManageSieve http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2-managesieve-0.11.13.tar.gz http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2-managesieve-0.11.13.tar.gz.… ManageSieve patch http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2.17-managesieve-0.11.13.diff… http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2.17-managesieve-0.11.13.diff… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot wiki for more information.

[Dovecot] How to stop mail_executable from cwd to ~home
by Gary Duncan 19 May '11

19 May '11

In our environment home directories are auto-mounted via /home/<user> including on the server provided mail. Within the various mail services though we try to isolate and override with local /mail/home/<user> Works well except that dovecot still wants to cd to the real home triggering a useless and potentially hindering automount when it invokes the imap or pop3 process specified by mail_executable, ie an lsof of the process shows cwd of /home/<user> and the automounted home. It does this even though home is properly overridden within. I suspect this is part of changing to invoke as the user as the *-login process are ok but then they are still running as dovecot. Various recent attempts to explicitly respecify HOME for mail_executable via a wrapper script or using env have been to no avail (as seen below). How can I resolve? And no I don't just want to override /home at the system level. Thanks -- Gary # 1.0.9: /etc/dovecot.conf base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/ syslog_facility: local1 protocols: imap imaps pop3 pop3s listen(default): *:143 listen(imap): *:143 listen(pop3): *:110 ssl_listen(default): *:993 ssl_listen(imap): *:993 ssl_listen(pop3): *:995 ssl_ca_file: /etc/ssl/certs/gd_bundle.crt ssl_cert_file: /etc/ssl/certs/engr.uvic.ca.crt ssl_key_file: /etc/ssl/private/engineeringwildcard.key ssl_parameters_regenerate: 24 disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login login_log_format_elements: %u [%r] %c login_process_size: 32 login_processes_count: 8 login_max_processes_count: 150 verbose_proctitle: yes first_valid_uid: 100 default_mail_env: mbox:/mail/home/%u/mail/:INBOX=/mail/boxes/%u:INDEX=/mail/indexes/%u mail_location: mbox:/mail/home/%u/mail/:INBOX=/mail/boxes/%u:INDEX=/mail/indexes/%u mbox_read_locks: fcntl dotlock mbox_write_locks: fcntl dotlock mail_executable(default): /bin/env 'HOME=/mail/home/$USER' /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /bin/env 'HOME=/mail/home/$USER' /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3-home mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 imap_client_workarounds(default): delay-newmail outlook-idle netscape-eoh tb-extra-mailbox-sep imap_client_workarounds(imap): delay-newmail outlook-idle netscape-eoh tb-extra-mailbox-sep imap_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-idle pop3_uidl_format(default): pop3_uidl_format(imap): pop3_uidl_format(pop3): %v.%u pop3_client_workarounds(default): pop3_client_workarounds(imap): pop3_client_workarounds(pop3): oe-ns-eoh outlook-no-nuls auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd args: home=/mail/home/%u plugin: home: /mail/home/%u

[Dovecot] v2.0.13 released
by Timo Sirainen 19 May '11

19 May '11

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/dovecot-2.0.13.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/dovecot-2.0.13.tar.gz.sig I've almost managed to read my email backlog, but there are still some unanswered mails. Feel free to resend if you think I should have answered some of your mails. The most important changes since v2.0.12: + Added "doveadm index" command to add unindexed messages into index/cache. If full text search is enabled, it also adds unindexed messages to the fts database. + added "doveadm director dump" command. + pop3: Added support for showing messages in "POP3 order", which can be different from IMAP message order. This can be useful for migrations from other servers. Implemented it for Maildir as 'O' field in dovecot-uidlist. - doveconf: Fixed a wrong "subsection has ssl=yes" warning. - mdbox purge: Fixed wrong warning about corrupted extrefs. - sdbox: INBOX GUID changed when INBOX was autocreated, leading to trouble with dsync. - script-login binary wasn't actually dropping privileges to the user/group/chroot specified by its service settings. - Fixed potential crashes and other problems when parsing header names that contained NUL characters.

[Dovecot] integrating procmail
by errno 19 May '11

19 May '11

Hello, list members! I'm new to dovecot, and haven't needed to maintain an email server instance for quite some time. I recently got a fairly simple postfix + dovecot installation functional as needed, however I now need to get procmail filtering incoming mail, and after reading various docs and wikis, I find that I'm still having a tough time feeling confident on how best to approach it in the simplest manner. (this is for a small installation.... 10 email accounts, max). Below, I've provide the relevant snippets of my current functional configuration; how best to integrate procmail into the mix? /etc/postfix/main.cf: ... alias_maps = hash:/etc/mail/aliases local_recipient_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/vmailbox, $alias_maps virtual_transport = dovecot virtual_mailbox_domains = $mydomain virtual_mailbox_base = /var/vmail/ virtual_mailbox_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/vmailbox virtual_minimum_uid = 500 virtual_uid_maps = static:501 virtual_gid_maps = static:501 ... /etc/postfix/master.cf: ... dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -f ${sender} - d ${recipient} ... /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf: ... mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir protocol lda { sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail } auth default { mechanisms = plain passdb passwd-file { args = /var/vmail/passwd } userdb static { args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/var/vmail/%d/%u } socket listen { master { path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode = 0600 user = vmail group = vmail } } } ... Thankyou for any tips, much appreciated!
