[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.0 - expire with flat file?
by Bernd Schmelter 30 Jul '10

30 Jul '10

I`m using Dovecot 2.0 with only one lokal user, so it`s imho overkill to use mysql. plugin quota with flat file running fine. It's possible expire also running with flat file? What's syntax in dovecot.conf (expire = file:??? and expire_dict?) Benn

[Dovecot] Dovecot and SSD
by Bryan Vyhmeister 30 Jul '10

30 Jul '10

I'm considering setting up my own mailserver with Dovecot 2.0 (as soon as it's out) and SSD. I'm debating whether it's worth it or not. I have been running a mailserver with the Dovecot 1.1 train for a couple of years and it's been flawless and amazing. I'm thinking about using either FreeBSD 8.1 w/ZFS or OpenBSD 4.8-beta on a 64 GB or 80 GB SSD (Corsair or Intel) using Dovecot 2.0 and mdbox. It seems like mdbox would benefit the most from an SSD because reads would be extremely fast while minimal writes (comparatively) take place due to the way mdbox is structured. I guess what I'm saying is that even if the SSD has average to slow write speeds the fast read speeds would make a big difference in many operations. Any thoughts? Alternately, run either option on a hard drive with indexes on fast flash memory. Anyone tried something like that? Thank you. Bryan

[Dovecot] permisions problems to setup dovecot lda in postfix with sieve

[Dovecot] relay access denied problem thru iphone imap auth
by Allen Walker 30 Jul '10

30 Jul '10

I'm using postfix smtpd / dovecot. Running imaps, imap, pop3s, pop3. I have a ssl certificate setup. Everything works fine via IMAP except sending to an email from outside the network to a recipient outside the network. The problem is when someone (and this is being tested thru the iphone email client configured to use imap) logs in, they can read messages but cannot send to an address outside my network, assuming they are logged in outside the network. If you they are logged in inside the network, they can send to anyone just fine. The Log: Jul 29 20:09:41 ubuntu dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<amit>, method=PLAIN, rip=166.205.142.84, l ip=192.168.1.68, TLS Jul 29 20:10:02 ubuntu postfix/smtpd[28892]: warning: 166.205.142.84: hostname 166-205-142-084.mobi le.mymmode.com verification failed: No address associated with hostname Jul 29 20:10:02 ubuntu postfix/smtpd[28892]: connect from unknown[166.205.142.84] Jul 29 20:10:06 ubuntu postfix/smtpd[28892]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from unknown[166.205.142.84]: 55 4 5.7.1 <xxx(a)gmail.com>: Relay access denied; from=<amit(a)outsidedomain.com> to=<xxx(a)gmail.c om> proto=ESMTP helo=<[10.67.168.110]> Jul 29 20:10:06 ubuntu postfix/smtpd[28892]: disconnect from unknown[166.205.142.84] */etc/postfix/main.cf:* smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Ubuntu) biff = no # appending .domain is the MUA's job. append_dot_mydomain = no # Uncomment the next line to generate "delayed mail" warnings #delay_warning_time = 4h readme_directory = no # TLS parameters smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/server.crt smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/ssl/private/server.key smtpd_use_tls=yes smtpd_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtpd_scache smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtp_scache # See /usr/share/doc/postfix/TLS_README.gz in the postfix-doc package for # information on enabling SSL in the smtp client. myhostname = mydomain.com alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases, hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/aliases alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases myorigin = /etc/mailname mydestination = mydomain.com, localhost mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 [::ffff:127.0.0.0]/104 [::1]/128 mailbox_command = procmail -a "$EXTENSION" mailbox_size_limit = 0 recipient_delimiter = + inet_interfaces = all relay_domains = lists.mydomain.com # I use this as I have mailman also running transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport mailman_destination_recipient_limit = 1 relayhost = inet_protocols = ipv4 smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth-client smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated,permit_mynetworks,reject_unauth_destination

[Dovecot] Dovecot LDA
by Daminto Lie 30 Jul '10

30 Jul '10

Hi, I was wondering if I could get some help with Dovecot. I have just recently set up a mail server that runs on Ubuntu Server 10.04. It has got the current version of postfix and Dovecot. I have also got the squirrelmail set up as my webmail. Everything is fine. However, I have been reading some emails posted by Dovecot users regarding Dovecot LDA. I wonder if anyone might be able to let me know the benefits it might offer so that i could make a decision as to whether I need it or not. Thank you very much in advance

[Dovecot] Looking for a Plug-In developer
by John O'Brien 28 Jul '10

28 Jul '10

Hi, We need a small plug-in developed for dovecot. We are looking to pay for for its development. We need to add support for a custom IMAP command. The command is for the storage of a numeric PIN field in a database. The database is PostgreSQL. Another table in the database defines the minimum and maximum length of the numeric PIN field. The IMAP client server exchange after a user login resembles the following. C: A0001 CHANGE PIN 243289 S: A0001 OK CHANGE successful The numeric PIN number is stored in a field within a table the login username as key. Example errors are: C: A0001 CHANGE PINFJ 24DDD89 S: A0001 NO invalid password type C: A0001 CHANGE PIN 24DDD89 S: A0001 NO invalid characters C: A0001 CHANGE PIN 23 S: A0001 NO password too short C: A0001 CHANGE PIN 234567890123 S: A0001 NO password too long C: A0001 CHANGE PIN 0000 S: A0001 NO password blacklisted We believe this is not a big task for someone familiar with the design and implementation of dovecot plug-ins. We want to minimise our leaning and just get a result. If you are interested in undertaking this development please contact me with a simple proposal. We will require the source code and copyright assignment.

Hi, Has anyone got the chance to get this running? I'm permanently getting this Serverbug error ... ;( *"[SERVERBUG] failed to send email"* ... This happens when I try to drag&drop mails from one to the other folder within a IMAP-session. What version of Dovecot must I have to get this plugin working? Or will it generally be broken in upcoming new releases of Dovecot? Best Regards Leander S.

[Dovecot] dovecot lda & sieve: resubmit folder for resieving
by Axel Thimm 28 Jul '10

28 Jul '10

Hi, I'm currently restructuring my mail archives and migrated from a decade and a half old procmail supported solution to sieve. While doing so I often found that I'd like to filter a bunch of messages (with "bunch" in the area of 1-10K) with my shiny new sieve script. I found in the wiki a way to do that: http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/RefilterMail And it works well, it picks the mails via IMAP and resubmits them to dovecot-lda. But unfortunately the IMAP flags including \Sent, \Flagged etc are lost in the process. I started checking for other solutions beside getmail that might extract the imap flags as well, but I wouldn't know how to pass them to dovecot-lda. Would it make sense to suggest to have dovecot offer this kind of reprocessing itself? That way nothing would get lost in any transition. -- http://ATrpms.net/
