[Dovecot] remove old files
by Stéphane Guedon 20 Mar '11

20 Mar '11

Hello I use the dovecot 2.0.10 server and wonder how to clean up correctly the old mails (especially for spam folder). I use maildir storage, and wonder if deleting files with an rm and file command combinaison would be good or would corrupt indexes files/whatever. for exemple, the spam folder is in ~/.mail/.INBOX.spam/ Thus, can I "cd ~/.mail/.INBOX.spam/ && rm 'files older than 2 months' " or something else ? Thanks. -- Stéphane Guedon page web : http://www.22decembre.eu/ carte de visite : http://www.22decembre.eu/downloads/Stephane-Guedon.vcf clé publique gpg : http://www.22decembre.eu/downloads/Stephane-Guedon.asc

Re: [Dovecot] Problem with expire plugin and expunge

Hello, > > Big surprise: Something bad must have happened after the messages were > > deleted from Trash; now all messages are zero days old. > > Are you using maildir? Did you run with those patches + mail_debug=yes? Today, the daily cronjob expired some messages. I have attached the output of the job. It seems that the error occurs not when expunging, but when deleting the first message after expunging. Before deleting a message, "doveadm search" showed me messages that were between zero and four days old, but directly after deleting a message, all messages were zero days old. Here is my log entry from when I deleted that message: Mar 18 09:50:28 joseph dovecot: imap(christoph): Debug: expire: Saving first message to Trash, updating timestamp to 1300438228 Regards Christoph

Forget it. I must have been crosseyed. Someone had put the log file in a non-standard place /home/vmail/dovecot-deliver.log. It told all. A plugin cmusieve was not found, possibly depreciated?

[Dovecot] dovecot LDA: "temporary failure"
by David Koski 18 Mar '11

18 Mar '11

This really has me stumped and desperate. I upgraded Debian from 5 to 6 (squeeze) and now Dovecot LDA fails. I have checked permissions and the usual. Postfix SMTP, Dovecot POP3 and Dovecot IMAP work. Having to upgrade MySQL from 5.0 to 5.1 made me question that. Logging is of little help. I have turned on logging for LDA to a separate file. When I try to run the deliver command it returns nothing and appears to do nothing: ~$ cat /etc/hosts | /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -f root@localhost -d dkoski(a)[domainhidden].com $ ..but then I don't know what to expect. The log files are owned by dovecot. I tried chmod'ing them to 777 in desperation. This was working before the upgrade to 1.2.15-4 from 1.0.15-2.3+lenny1. Postfix reports this stuff: Mar 17 22:37:38 host-mail postfix/smtpd[22160]: connect from mail.kosmosisland.com[63.228.175.169] Mar 17 22:37:39 host-mail postfix/smtpd[22160]: 9D80C12AF610: client=mail.kosmosisland.com[63.228.175.169] Mar 17 22:37:39 host-mail postfix/cleanup[22163]: 9D80C12AF610: message-id=<201103172237.29223.dkoski(a)[another-domainhidden].com> Mar 17 22:37:39 host-mail postfix/qmgr[21877]: 9D80C12AF610: from=<dkoski(a)[another-domainhidden].com>, size=1257, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Mar 17 22:37:39 host-mail postfix/smtpd[22160]: disconnect from mail.kosmosisland.com[63.228.175.169] Mar 17 22:37:42 host-mail postfix/smtpd[22168]: connect from localhost[127.0.0.1] Mar 17 22:37:42 host-mail postfix/smtpd[22168]: 480D912AF612: client=mail.kosmosisland.com[63.228.175.169] Mar 17 22:37:42 host-mail postfix/cleanup[22163]: 480D912AF612: message-id=<201103172237.29223.dkoski(a)[another-domainhidden].com> Mar 17 22:37:42 host-mail postfix/qmgr[21877]: 480D912AF612: from=<dkoski(a)[another-domainhidden].com>, size=1873, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Mar 17 22:37:42 host-mail postfix/smtpd[22168]: disconnect from localhost[127.0.0.1] Mar 17 22:37:42 host-mail postfix/pipe[22169]: 480D912AF612: to=<dkoski(a)[domainhidden].com>, relay=dovecot, delay=0.04, delays=0.02/0.01/0/0.01, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (temporary failure) Mar 17 22:37:42 host-mail postfix/smtp[22164]: 9D80C12AF610: to=<dkoski(a)[domainhidden].com>, relay=127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024, delay=3.4, delays=0.84/0.01/0/2.5, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 Ok, id=11197-13, from MTA([127.0.0.1]:10025): 250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as 480D912AF612) Mar 17 22:37:42 host-mail postfix/qmgr[21877]: 9D80C12AF610: removed And /var/log/dovecot/deliver.info: 2011-03-17 22:43:43 auth(default): Info: new auth connection: pid=22232 2011-03-17 22:43:59 auth-worker(default): Info: sql(dkoski(a)[domainhidden].com,127.0.0.1): query: SELECT email as user, password FROM view_users WHERE email='dkoski(a)[domainhidden].com'; 2011-03-17 22:43:59 auth(default): Info: client out: OK 1 user=dkoski(a)[domainhidden].com 2011-03-17 22:43:59 auth(default): Info: master in: REQUEST 73 22061 1 2011-03-17 22:43:59 auth(default): Info: master out: USER 73 dkoski(a)[domainhidden].com uid=5000 gid=5000 home=/home/vmail/[domainhidden].com/dkoski 2011-03-17 22:44:00 auth(default): Info: new auth connection: pid=22234 I tried reinstalling the package dovecot-common.
