[Dovecot] dspam + dovecot LDA
by Paweł Madej 14 Sep '10

14 Sep '10

Hello, Is there any possibility to make dspam transport validated emails directly to dovecot LDA? for now I use such schema: postfix > dspam > postfix > dovecot LDA but wanted to not return emails to postfix. I've found that such configuration is possible with dspam+ cyrus IMAP. Documentation of dovecot is great but I haven't found such solution. Thanks in advance for any help. -- Greets Paweł Madej Poland

[Dovecot] weird dovecot+outlook problem
by Per Jessen 14 Sep '10

14 Sep '10

I have some per-user, read-only mailboxes that I'm auto-subscribing users to. With Thunderbird I have no problems, but with Outlook, the contents of the 'To:' column is not shown until a user actually retrieves the mail. Does this ring a bell with anyone? /Per Jessen, Zürich

[Dovecot] Lost %d variable
by Aladdin 13 Sep '10

13 Sep '10

I'm trying to set up sieve with dovecot, and for some reason, sieve is not getting the %d variable that is part of the path to where its script should be. Here's the version: ops:/var/log/mail# dovecot --version 1.2.13 And, here's the configuration (I've left it all for reference, but moved the lda & plugins portions together and marked them out): ops:/var/log/mail# dovecot -n # 1.2.13: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.18-3-686 i686 Debian 4.0 ext3 log_path: /var/log/mail/dovecot.log info_log_path: /var/log/mail/dovecot.info log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: imap imaps pop3 pop3s ssl_parameters_regenerate: 0 disable_plaintext_auth: no verbose_ssl: yes login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-login mail_location: maildir:/var/mail/%d/%n:CONTROL=/var/mail/%d/%n:INDEX=/var/mail/%d/%n:INBOX= /var/mail/%d/%n mbox_write_locks: fcntl dotlock mail_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/pop3 ----------- Start lda/sieve part -------------- lda: log_path: /var/log/mail/deliver-errors.log info_log_path: /var/log/mail/deliver.log postmaster_address: aladdin(a)csunv.com mail_plugin_dir: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda mail_plugins: sieve plugin: sieve: /var/mail/%d/%n/.sieve ----------- End lda/sieve part -------------- auth default: verbose: yes passdb: driver: passwd-file args: /etc/dovecot/passwd.dovecot userdb: driver: static args: uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/var/mail/home/%u userdb: driver: passwd plugin: sieve: /var/mail/%d/%n/.sieve And, here is the log output: ops:/var/log/mail# cat deliver-errors.log 2010-09-11 18:23:46 deliver(aladdin): Error: sieve: failed to stat user's sieve script: stat(/var/mail//aladdin/.sieve) failed: Not a directory (using global script path in stead) 2010-09-11 18:23:46 deliver(aladdin): Error: stat(/var/mail//aladdin/tmp) failed: Not a directory Obviously, the double slashes shouldn't be there; there should be the domain name: /var/mail/csunv.com/aladdin The "regular" dovecot gets the path fine; that is also where it puts the mail, and I'm getting mail just fine.

[Dovecot] dsync: mbox to maildir hangs
by Burckhard Schmidt 13 Sep '10

13 Sep '10

Hello, after successfully converting some mailboxes I have a problem: dsync does not finish its work. dovecot 2.0.2. mail-location maildir:~/maildir I have copied the old Inbox and folders into /mailstore1/import-inbox and /mailstore1/import-home to the new server. (used with Dovecot 1.0.13 before) For one account I have now 356 folders containing about 60000 emails. (35 folders with about 40000 emails had been converted without problems) I used: dsync -v -u account mirror mbox:/mailstore1/import-home/~account:INBOX=/mailstore1/import-inbox/account dsync shoes after two minutes a list of all folders like this dsync(account): Info: Mail/folderx: only in dest After about 8 minutes some folders are converted. But then it hangs inside a folder which is just converting. I see entries (emails) inside "folder/tmp" but not all. And the "folder/cur" is still empty. dsync uses about 75% of one cpu all the time. I was waiting more than 50 minutes but no progress. I have to use kill -9 to stop it. If I delete this folder it still happens with a different one. Are there any limitations? Any advice? Regards - Burckhard Schmidt

[Dovecot] Pigeonhole proxy errors
by Cassidy Larson 13 Sep '10

13 Sep '10

I'm trying to upgrade my proxy front-ends to 2.0.2. I have the latest Pigeonhole release installed, and whenever I connect to the sieve port this gets logged in the syslog: managesieve-login: Error: auth: connect(login) in directory / failed: Permission denied (euid=144(<unknown>) egid=144(<unknown>) missing +x perm: /, euid is not dir owner) I dont get any capabilities displayed on the client side. I'm not sure why it's referring to the '/' directory. On 1.2.x, I authenticate the user and proxy to the sieve process on appropriate users back-end storage node. Here is the sieve config in my dovecot config file: ------------ service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve { address = a.b.c.d port = 4190 } inet_listener sieve_deprecated { address = a.b.c.d port = 2000 } } protocol sieve { managesieve_max_line_length = 65536 managesieve_logout_format = bytes=%i/%o managesieve_implementation_string = Dovecot Pigeonhole mail_debug=no } -------- Any help would be great. thanks!
