[Dovecot] What's %%h ?
by William Blunn 08 Sep '10

08 Sep '10

What's %%h ? http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Variables says that "%%" expands to "%", so according to that, "%%h" expands to "%h". But I have seen people using "%%h", so it must mean something else. Bill

[Dovecot] Problems setting up dovecot 2.0.1 with kerberos auth
by Dirk Heinrichs 07 Sep '10

07 Sep '10

Hi, I'm trying to setup dovecot 2.0.1 on a debian squeeze test box. I want to integrate it into an already working kerberos5 setup, but I don't get it to work. I've added created host/ smtp/ and imap/ service principals with random key for the test machine and added them to its keytab. I can also obtain user credentials using kinit, but when I try to telnet to port 143, I only get the following: # kinit heini Password for heini(a)ALTUM.DE: # klist Ticket cache: FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_0 Default principal: heini(a)ALTUM.DE Valid starting Expires Service principal 09/05/10 18:56:30 09/06/10 04:56:30 krbtgt/ALTUM.DE(a)ALTUM.DE renew until 09/06/10 18:56:27 # telnet localhost 143 Trying 127.0.0.1...

[Dovecot] dovecot-uidlist: Duplicate file entry at line
by Luca Palazzo 07 Sep '10

07 Sep '10

Hi All, we are experiencing another strange problem after upgrading to 2.0.1 from 1.2. Many people's client aree-retrieving mail from server due to some problem with dovecot-uidlist file. Looking at log file seem that all file content is sometime duplicated and appended to the and of same file. It look as another process was accesing and trying to modify uidlist table. Our setup has a load balance (dovecot director) and three backend server. All of them use 2.0.1. MTA is a cluster of postfix that deliver mail to load balancer by LMTP. How can I collect some more information? or, better, solve it? Regards Luca PS: Backend configuration is: # 2.0.1: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.26-2-686-bigmem i686 Debian 5.0.5 auth_master_user_separator = * auth_verbose = yes disable_plaintext_auth = no mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir mail_plugins = $mail_plugins notify mail_log quota managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = comparator-i;octet comparator-i;ascii-casemap fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date spamtest spamtestplus virustest passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } plugin { mail_log_events = delete undelete expunge copy mailbox_delete mailbox_rename mail_log_fields = uid box msgid from size quota = maildir:User quota quota_warning = storage=95%% quota-warning.sh 95 %u quota_warning2 = storage=80%% quota-warning.sh 80 %u sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve sieve_global_dir = /etc/dovecot/sieve/global/ sieve_global_path = /etc/dovecot/sieve/default.sieve } protocols = imap pop3 lmtp sieve service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { group = dovecot mode = 0600 user = dovecot } } service director { inet_listener { port = 8100 } } service lmtp { inet_listener lmtp { address = 10.194.1.31 127.0.0.1 ::1 port = 24 } } service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve { address = 10.194.1.31 127.0.0.1 ::1 port = 4190 } process_min_avail = 0 service_count = 1 } service quota-warning { executable = script /virtual/shared/quota-warning.sh unix_listener quota-warning { user = vmail } user = dovecot } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } verbose_proctitle = yes protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins quota sieve } protocol lda { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins quota } protocol imap { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins quota imap_quota } protocol pop3 { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins quota }

[Dovecot] Dovecot director - silly questions
by Guy 07 Sep '10

07 Sep '10

Hi, I'm currently using Dovecot 1.1.18 with storage over NFS and there's been the occasional corrupt index. I'm going to be installing a new set of servers soon and would like to start using Dovecot 2.0. I've had a look at the bit there is on the new Dovecot director, but I'm not totally sure how it's intended to be used. Should I install Dovecot on the software load balancers (IMAP/POP3 and other services balanced by haproxy) and configure the director on there? I'm also using maildrop at the moment but would like to switch to Dovecot deliver at some stage. Since mail is delivered to a random mail server (they both have access to the NFS shares), won't I run into the same index problem? Should I look at per user transports before then or can director also be used to effect Dovecot deliver? Thanks Guy -- Don't just do something...sit there!

[Dovecot] Plugin execution order and Sieve
by Charly 07 Sep '10

07 Sep '10

Hello, I use dovecot 2.0.1 and pigeonhole Sieve (version of August), I try to create a deliver plugin (lda or lmtp), but if I declare, in addition to my plugin, sieve, sieve is called first, and my plugin is never called. I tried to change the order of declaration of plugins, but nothing changes. If I remove Sieve, my plugin is properly called. protocol lmtp { #mail_plugins = $mail_plugins myplugin sieve ## sieve called first, my plugin is never called #mail_plugins = $mail_plugins sieve myplugin ## sieve called first, my plugin is never called mail_plugins = $mail_plugins myplugin ## my plugin is called } I try to patch Pigeonhole Sieve to call other plugin at the end of execution with : --- dovecot-2-0-pigeonhole-d51650c8af85/src/plugins/lda-sieve/lda-sieve-plugin.c.next_deliver 2010-08-23 19:26:12.000000000 +0200 +++ dovecot-2-0-pigeonhole-d51650c8af85/src/plugins/lda-sieve/lda-sieve-plugin.c 2010-09-02 11:48:22.000000000 +0200 @@ -775,7 +775,8 @@ } T_END; - return ret; + //return ret; + return next_deliver_mail(mdctx,storage_r); } /* With this patch, my plugin is called, but, always AFTER Sieve... How can I call my plugin before Sieve and do I need to patch Pigeonhole Sieve ? Thank you, Charly.

[Dovecot] LAYOUT=maildir++ under mbox?
by William Blunn 06 Sep '10

06 Sep '10

Whilst documenting LAYOUT=maildir++ under dbox, that got me thinking: Can we specify :LAYOUT=maildir++ with mbox? If I have it right, this should then remove the problem of not being able to have messages and mail subfolders in the same mail folder. So for example if we had mail location specified as: mail_location = mbox:~/mail:LAYOUT=maildir++ we would have files: ~/mail/inbox - file storing messages in INBOX ~/mail/.foo - file storing messages in mail folder "foo" ~/mail/.foo.bar - file storing messages in mail folder "foo/bar" and I think all of Dovecot's indexes would go under ~/mail/.imap Bill
