[Dovecot] Post login scripting and imapsync on user login
by Tomislav Mihalicek 18 Feb '11

18 Feb '11

Did anyone set up the enviroment in dovecot with post login scripting in which imapsync does sync between two mailservers on users login (on login sync mail from old to new mailserver) is there a alternative or different approach? something like #!/bin/bash /usr/bin/imapsync --syncinternaldates --nosyncacls --authmech1 PLAIN --host1 old.server.com --user1 $USER*master --password1 master --authmech2 PLAIN --host2 new.server.com --user2 $USER*master --password2 master exec /usr/lib/dovecot/imap "$@" thanx -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Post-login-scripting-and-imapsync-on-user-login-tp309… Sent from the Dovecot mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Dovecot] managesieve bug: UTF inside quoted-string

This has been probably fixed in meantime, because I use dovecot 1.1 still, but I'd like to get you to know. Use of UTF-8 characters inside quoted-string doesn't work.

[Dovecot] Upgrading Dovecot v1.0.10 -> v2.0.9
by Jackie Hunt 17 Feb '11

17 Feb '11

Hi all, OK, I admit it. I've seriously neglected our Dovecot installation. I installed version 1.0.10 in Jan 2008, and it has been a great workhorse since then. It has run like a champ, so it was ignored due to higher priority projects. But now it is time to get current with Dovecot, and I really need your help. We are using the mbox mailbox format. First so I want to upgrade to 2.0.9, since it looks like that is the latest version? It looks like development is still happening on the 1.x line, so do I need to get to the 2.x line? Any comments/suggestions/recommendations on that? I know there are major changes from 1.x -> 2.x.. Also, do I need to go through incremental upgrades? I'm guessing changes have been made to the index files and the dovecot configuration. Do those need to be done in steps, or can I made a major leap forward? I'd appreciate any input on this project. I need to start planning. Thanks so much! Jackie

[Dovecot] Problem with messages with long lines
by ZMA - Emiliano Mariño 17 Feb '11

17 Feb '11

Hello dear mailing list readers, Recently I am experimenting a problem trying to retrieve messages over a POP3 protocol. Everything goes right until the POP3 client tries to retrieve a message that contains one or more long lines lines as long as 3000 characters or even more. The client (Outlook 2003 and 2007) stops on that message until timeout. I have opened a connection manually to see what happens, and when I issue the RETR command on one of these messages, dovecot informs the message size and then nothing else. No message sending. Any other message works fine; I get the message size and next the message itself. I have upgraded to version 2.0.1 but I still get the same behavior. No error is reported on the server side. Logs indicate that everything is just fine. Any advice on how to solve this would be very appreciated. Here is the dovecot 2.0.1 configuration: ############################################################################ ####### # 2.0.1: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.23.1-42.fc8 i686 Fedora release 8 (Werewolf) auth_username_chars = abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ01234567890.-_@& auth_verbose = yes disable_plaintext_auth = no listen = * login_greeting = Dovecot DA ready. mail_access_groups = mail mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir passdb { args = username_format=%n /etc/virtual/%d/passwd driver = passwd-file } passdb { driver = shadow } service auth { user = root } ssl_cert = </etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt ssl_cipher_list = ALL:!ADH:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:-LOW:-SSLv2:-EXP ssl_key = </etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key/server.key userdb { args = username_format=%n /etc/virtual/%d/passwd driver = passwd-file } userdb { driver = passwd } verbose_proctitle = yes protocol pop3 { pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv } ############################################################################ ####### Thanks a lot for your time Kind regards, cid:image001.png@01CB7784.62522490 Emiliano Mariño Technical Analyst Senior <mailto:%20mkt4@zma.com.ar> tech7(a)zma.com.ar Larrea 1011 piso 8º | C1117ABE | Ciudad A. de Buenos Aires - ARGENTINA Tel: (5411) 4825-1602 | Fax: (5411) 4825-7692 <http://www.zma.com.ar/> www.zma.com.ar

[Dovecot] Dovecot + Exim + Maildir quota problem
by Matteo Tinazzi 17 Feb '11

17 Feb '11

Hi all i'm a new user of this list, i got a server with DirectAdmin which has exim as MUA, dovecot as POP/IMAP server, recently i added the quota to exim and pointed the maildirsize file in the same location if the dovecot's one so both services can interact with it. This has been done to let exim update the quotas while doing localdelivery while dovecot can show quotas through roundcube and update them when users delete mails. The issue that i noticed is that some users get wrong quota informations... after a little investigation i think it could be a concurrent access to this file so dovecot tries to remove the deleted mails fomr maildirsize and exim tries to put new ones inside. In a specific case i got a user with a quota of 50M seeing that 75% of his quota filled while the real weight of the mail files is about 4% ... any help would be very appreciated

[Dovecot] Evolution IMAP with Dovecot as proxy
by Antonio Perez-Aranda 17 Feb '11

17 Feb '11

We have some users who use Evolution as mail client. During migration process we are run Dovecot as proxy of Courier-imap until any user get migrated depend of ldap attribute. At present, the problem is that with Thunderbird and other clients, The client run as normal. But Evolution can't get new messages or Suscription list. Capabilities on Courier and Dovecot are differents, but when a connection is proxied to Courier, Courier print the Capabilitites. Any body has any idea of this? -- Antonio Pérez-Aranda Alcaide aperezaranda(a)yaco.es Yaco Sistemas S.L. http://www.yaco.es/ C/ Rioja 5, 41001 Sevilla Teléfono +34 954 50 00 57 Fax +34 954 50 09 29

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.0.9/1.2.11: crash in driver-pgsql.c
by dovecot＠excellency.fr 17 Feb '11

17 Feb '11

Hello, I finally took time to isolate and reproduce a long time Dovecot crash that is bugging me since at least Dovecot 1.0.x. It's still there in Dovecot 2.0.9, which I just tested. Here is the backtrace from my logs: Feb 16 16:56:57 dovecot: auth: Error: pgsql: Query timed out, aborting Feb 16 17:25:16 dovecot: auth: Panic: file driver-pgsql.c: line 349 (result_finish): assertion failed: (db->io == NULL) Feb 16 17:25:16 dovecot: auth: Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0 [0x7fdbfe6d4272] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0 [0x7fdbfe6d42d6] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_error+0) [0x7fdbfe6d46c8] -> dovecot/auth [0x42f555] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handle_timeouts+0xdd) [0x7fdbfe6df9bd] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0x5e) [0x7fdbfe6e05be] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x28) [0x7fdbfe6df618] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(master_service_run+0x13) [0x7fdbfe6cd883] -> dovecot/auth(main+0x2d4) [0x419474] -> /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe6) [0x7fdbfc4f91a6] -> dovecot/auth [0x40da09] Feb 16 17:26:35 dovecot: master: Error: service(auth): child 140263 killed with signal 6 (core not dumped) Both my userdb and passdb use a PostgreSQL database. The bug happens when the PostgreSQL host suddenly becomes unavailable. I can easily reproduce it by launching Dovecot with my host being up, and then null routing its IP address (to simulate an outage): route add -host 10.0.0.2 reject (10.0.0.2 being the IP address of the PostgreSQL host.) >From that point, if I try to authenticate (using a POP3 connection, for instance), dovecot-auth will crash one or two minutes later. In Dovecot 2.0.9, despite the crash, authentication will resume once the PostgreSQL is back up (which can be simulated with: route delete -host 10.0.0.2 reject). In Dovecot 1.x however (latest version I tested is 1.2.11), it will stay in this state forever (logs are flooded with Password query failed: Not connected to database.)
