Sorry if I missed the dovecot 2.0.betax managesieve sieve discussions. I have been looking in my list archive and haven't found a reference to this yet.

[Dovecot] Exim+Dovecot LDA - How can I catch the crash?
by Odhiambo Washington 12 Aug '10

12 Aug '10

Hello list I am testing mdbox with Dovecot from http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.0-sis/.and my MTA is Exim. It appears to crash, but I am not sure how to capture the actual crash. What I get in Exim logs is: 2010-07-28 19:55:13 1Oe9uT-000KmG-Oz ** /var/spool/virtual/ titan.co.ke/wash/Maildir <wash(a)titan.co.ke> R=virtual_domains T=dovecot_virtual_delivery: Child process of dovecot_virtual_delivery transport (running command "/opt/dovecot2/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d $local_part@$domain -f $sender_address") was terminated by signal 11 (segmentation fault) This crash does not happen with RC3 of Dovecot. I know I shouldn't be using bleeding edge code, but strangely enough, I need to use this one to satisfy my curiosity, and to help me learn one or two new tricks.

[Dovecot] hunting timeouts
by Iv Ray 12 Aug '10

12 Aug '10

Hi guys, I inherited a Dovecot 1.0.1, which I will have to upgrade, but until then I need, if possible, to resolve a timeout. - we have about 25 IMAP users - the busiest user has about 100 000 messages (Maildir) in less than 100 folders - the mail server is on HP server with server grade 2.5" HDDs in RAID 5 - the load average of the server is low (the 5/15 minute is under 0.20) - the mail server is in-house on Gigabit Ethernet The timeout we face is that sometimes even small messages take 20-40 seconds to open (i. e. Tunderbird 2 on Windows 7). Or connection to the mail server timeouts. Could you give me a few tips where can I look in order to detect the possible reason for these timeouts. Thank you, Iv

[Dovecot] moving mail from private inbox to public folder kills the latter
by Tamas Kadar 12 Aug '10

12 Aug '10

Hi I've ran into something rather nasty: if a user moves a mail from its inbox to a public folder, the folder becomes inaccessible for others, because the moved file will have the the permission 600 instead of 777 (or 666) which the rest of the emails have in the folder. How can I change this behavior so when he moves the mail it automatically becomes world-readable? Also why one mail kills the whole folder? Here's the error I get: Error: open(/home/_shared/projects/.Long.Folder/cur/1281535484.M3B5A7P15183Q0.mail_espell_com:2,Sb) failed: Permission denied (euid=1000(ktamas) egid=1000(ktamas) missing +r perm: /home/_shared/projects/.Long.Folder/cur/1281535484.M3B5A7P15183Q0.mail_espell_com:2,Sb, euid is not dir owner) Thanks and best regards Tamas

[Dovecot] TTY=unknown

I'm wondering if TTY=unknown should be consider as a warning or error. I'm busy perfectioning the organisation's mail server. I want it to run without any warning or error message. ==> /var/log/auth.log <== Aug 12 11:37:15 h1690641 sudo: mail : TTY=unknown ; PWD=/var/spool/postfix ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -f sender(a)domain.com -d receiver Thanks in advance, Frank

[Dovecot] More than one private namespace not possible
by Jan Friedrich 12 Aug '10

12 Aug '10

Hi everyone, Two days ago I migrated from Courier to Dovecot 1.2.13. Everything went smooth until the point I wanted to try some more features of Dovecot. My working configuration contains just the one INBOX. private namespace. Adding any other private namespaces (e.g. SHARE. with the configuration below) produces strange results in Thunderbird 3.0.6 and Evolution 2.28.3: I cannot see the SHARE. namespace but the mail clients create SHARE^^Trunk and other funny things inside the INBOX. namespace (inside die INBOX. Maildir). Changing the name of this private namespace has no effect. Because the devault dovecot.conf tells me I need an default namespace I created one but that did not change anything. In Thunderbird 3.0.6 the namespaces are correctly displayed in the advanced IMAP settings under "private namespaces" but not in the main view. The logs do not show any errors or warnings and the Maildir for the SHARE. namespace is correctly created by Dovecot. System: Ubuntu Hardy with self-compiled Dovecot 1.2.13 with managesieve 0.11.11 patch.
