[Dovecot] Australian Internet Filtering Position
by Ryan Halloway 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

List, With sites like this appearing everywhere: http://www.dontfilterme.com and http://nocleanfeed.com/ Just trying to get a general opinion with what everyone thinks of the filtering situation in Australia. Whether you believe its a good thing or a bad thing or you don't really care. I'm writing a letter to an Australian MP (Member of Parliament) and I want to get some actual opinions of what other systems administrators think of the internet filter, even if they are not in Australia. Not only at a technical aspect but at an opinion aspect as well. Either reply on list or pm me. I just want to get a general idea. Thanks, Ryan.

[Dovecot] OT: Sieve + Forward as Attachment
by Jerry 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

I know that this is technically not a Dovecot problem; however, I was wondering if anyone knew if 'sieve' had been updated with the ability to 'forward as attachment' a received document. I believe it has the ability to forward a document; however, I need the ability to forward it as an attachment if possible. Also I believe, somewhat due to my asking for them, that sieve exits with appropriate error codes. Is there a listing of these codes, other than in the actual program code itself, of what those exit codes are? -- Jerry ✌ Dovecot.user(a)seibercom.net Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.

[Dovecot] sieve not respecting userdb_mail setting?
by Perry E. Metzger 07 Jul '10

07 Jul '10

It appears that the lda + sieve does not respect the userdb_mail setting, though the imap server does(!?). Is this expected behavior? Perry -- Perry E. Metzger perry(a)piermont.com

[Dovecot] Manually creating folders from terminal
by A. J. Giurato 07 Jul '10

07 Jul '10

I'm trying to use a script to create a mailbox structure. I'm aware that the structure should look like: ~/.maildir/.INBOX/{cur,tmp,new} ~/.maildir/.INBOX.Subfolder1/{cur,tmp,new} ~/.maildir/.INBOX.Subfolder2/{cur,tmp,new} ~/.maildir/.INBOX.Subfolder2.Subsubfolder1/{cur,tmp,new} ... I have tried manually making those directories and using the "maildirmake.dovecot" command that my system has. I feel that in the past, folders I have made this way worked. However, now none are showing up in my clients. In Thunderbird, they aren't even listed on the "Subscribe" window for me to enable. Using Squirrelmail doesn't show them either. Essentially what I am doing is taking my current IMAP dir structure, and making a copy in a subfolder called ".INBOX.Archive.<year>" to archive my old mail. Thus, .INBOX.Subfolder1.Subfolder2 becomes .INBOX.Archive.2009.Subfolder1.Subfolder2. My system: Ubuntu 8.04 # 1.0.10: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S ssl_listen: * disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login mail_privileged_group: mail mail_access_groups: mail default_mail_env: ~/.maildir mail_location: ~/.maildir auth default: mechanisms: plain login passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix

[Dovecot] Logging subjects of messages
by Sandu cucereanu 07 Jul '10

07 Jul '10

Dear Sirs, I want to know if there is any possibility to log the subjects of the messages downloaded from ther server. We use dovecot 1.0.15 with POP3S and IMAP and we want to keep a trace of the reading of messages by the users of our mail server (who, when and what are the subjects of the e-mail messages read) because some users complain that they did not read some messages but in the logs of the server (maillog files( those messages appear to be delivered to their inboxes. Thank you very much for your help Best regards Alexandru Cucereanu

[Dovecot] dsync convert Maildir -> mdbox, separators in subscriptions file
by Frode Nordahl 06 Jul '10

06 Jul '10

Hello, I'm playing around with Dovecot 2.0 beta 4. If I use dsync to convert a users mail stored in Maildir format to mdbox format, the subscriptions file in the new mdbox is created using the wrong mailbox separator ('.') leading to folders within folders not being readable by clients using the subscription feature. Excerpt from IMAP: . LIST "" "*" * LIST (\HasChildren) "/" "Spam" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Spam/Test" . LSUB "" "*" * LSUB () "/" "Spam" * LSUB () "/" "Spam.Test" I am not currently using Maildir, and have no plans to either, so I am very pleased with mdbox using '/' as seperator. I am considering to use Maildir as a transition format so that I can use allready available scripts to do the job (uw2dovecot.pl first, then dsync). So the question is, is this a bug in dsync? At the time of conversion mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir I used the following command to do the conversion: # dsync -u username convert mdbox:~/mdbox -- Frode Nordahl

[Dovecot] how to setup a simplest travel-mode read-only IMAP
by Seetamraju Uday Bhaskar Sarma 06 Jul '10

06 Jul '10

Hi All, I don't use gmail/hotmail etc... I have been a Mozilla/SeaMonkey/Thunderbird user for ever now... The mail and folders are all on my private fileserver. But on certain tours, I do know in advance that I would like IMAP access to my mail folders. Nothing but the simplest read-only access to the years of accumulated email. (All that email was soft-mounted onto /mnt/mail for safety and simplicity.) I have read the FAQ and Wiki. I even created the /cur /new /tmp folders under /mnt/mail... (after noting errors in dovecot logs) But when I test from another machine as :- # mutt -f imap://sarma@10.0.1.10/Inbox mutt comes up blank. I did check that /mnt/mail/Inbox exists, and has read permissions to all. Ideally, I don't want dovecot updating my mail files. I just simply want to read my old mail, while my new mail will continue to reside-on/be-accessible via the webmail. Thanks in advance! # /usr/sbin/dovecot --version 1.0.15 # /usr/sbin/dovecot -n # 1.0.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_processes_count: 1 login_max_processes_count: 2 mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: maildir:/mnt/mail:INDEX=/var/mail/dovecot/index:CONTROL=/var/mail/dovecot/lib:LAYOUT=fs mbox_dirty_syncs: no mbox_lazy_writes: no auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd
