[Dovecot] Dovecot + OCFS2
by Thiago Henrique 12 Jul '10

12 Jul '10

Hello, I intend to make a cluster with Dovecot + OCFS2. The tests are working with the default settings of the Dovecot. But it seems too easy to be true. Is there any special configuration of Dovecot to implement it?-- Thank you -- []'s Thiago Henrique Network Administration Digirati Networks K8 Networks

[Dovecot] Dovecot-lda and Postfix virtual
by D F 12 Jul '10

12 Jul '10

Hello, I'm currently testing Dovecot 2.0RC2 and I have a problem migrating my current configuration. Current configuration is : - Dovecot as IMAP server - Postfix as SMTP/LDA with virtual users. main.cf is : #----------------------------------------------------------- # inet_protocols = all myhostname = mail.domain.tld mydomain = domain.tld myorigin = $mydomain inet_interfaces = all mydestination = localhost local_transport = virtual local_recipient_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/domain.tld virtual_mailbox_base = /home/mail virtual_mailbox_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/domain.tld virtual_mailbox_domains = domain.tld virtual_uid_maps = static:5000 virtual_gid_maps = static:5000 unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550 mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8, [::1]/128 smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP mailbox_size_limit = 0 message_size_limit = 0 virtual_mailbox_limit = 0 smtpd_helo_required = yes # smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_unauth_destination smtpd_helo_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_unknown_helo_hostname, reject_invalid_helo_hostname # debug_peer_level = 1 sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq setgid_group = postdrop html_directory = no manpage_directory = /usr/local/man sample_directory = /etc/postfix readme_directory = no queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix command_directory = /usr/sbin daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix mail_owner = postfix alternate_config_directories = /etc/postfix #----------------------------------------------------------- /etc/postfix/domain.tld looks like : #----------------------------------------------------------- # User denis(a)domain.tld /domain.tld/denis/ # Admin root(a)domain.tld /domain.tld/denis/.system/ dnsowner(a)domain.tld /domain.tld/denis/.system/ abuse(a)domain.tld /domain.tld/denis/.system/ postmaster(a)domain.tld /domain.tld/denis/.system/ #----------------------------------------------------------- Currently, I can send mails to denis(a)domain.tld or root(a)domain.tld and they are all accepted and placed in the right IMAP folder/subfolder. Now I'd like to use Dovecot as a LDA (I want to use Sieve). I first add "mailbox_command = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda" and "virtual_transport = dovecot" to postfix.conf. Then I add "dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=nobody:nobody argv=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -f ${sender} -d ${recipient}" to master.cf Here is my Dovecot config : #----------------------------------------------------------- listen = *, :: protocols = imap base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/ login_greeting = domain.tld IMAP ready. disable_plaintext_auth = no auth_mechanisms = plain auth_failure_delay = 2 secs mail_location = dbox:/home/mail/%d/%n default_login_user = dovenull default_internal_user = dovecot service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 143 } inet_listener imaps { port = 993 ssl = yes } } service auth { # Postfix smtp-auth unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { mode = 0666 user = postfix group = postfix } unix_listener auth-userdb { mode = 0666 user = nobody group = nobody } } passdb { driver = passwd-file args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/users.db } userdb { driver = passwd-file args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/users.db } ssl = no #----------------------------------------------------------- /usr/local/etc/dovecot/users.db looks like : #----------------------------------------------------------- denis@domain.tld:password:5000:5000::/home/mail/domain.tld/denis #----------------------------------------------------------- If I send a mail to denis(a)domain.tld it works great, if I send a mail to root(a)domain.tld, it tells the user is non-existent. Is it possible to work the way it used to and benefit from dovecot-lda ? I read http://wiki2.dovecot.org/LDA/Postfix but it seems none of the case looks like mine. Thank you in advance, Denis

[Dovecot] Can only see some folders of inbox
by He Llo 12 Jul '10

12 Jul '10

I've had a working system for ages now with Postfix/Dovecot/Squirrelmail. This evening the right hand pane of Squirrel Mail failed to complete with the Inbox selected but would show some of the other folders. I can also filter and access mail from the 'Invisible' inbox. Other mailboxes on the same server are fine. I've copied my version number below and the output of dovecot -n In the dovecot.log I can see lots of entries like: Warning I/O leak: 0x804d640 (13) or (15) and IMAP login killed with signal 15. I get the same behaviour if I connect with Outlook 2007 configured for IMAP. The mailbox has a lot of mail in it: easily a couple of GB. Very puzzled and would appreciate any help. Many thanks in advance, Mark. ............................................................

[Dovecot] Loggin! Exception.
by Henrique Fernandes 12 Jul '10

12 Jul '10

It is possible to make dovecot do not log any request from a determined host? Because, we gonna use ldirectord for foward request and etc. He makes an connection every 2 sec i guess, and dovecot logs its. The logs get too many info that we don need! Any ideias ? Thanks! * *[]'sf.rique

Re: [Dovecot] I can receive but not send
by Dennis Clarke 12 Jul '10

12 Jul '10

>> Am I missing something obvious here ? >> > > Yes, Dovecot is not an SMTP server, it provides POP3 and IMAP which are > for mail retrieval. Common SMTP servers are Exim, Postfix, Sendmail and > Qmail. Well that tells me dovecot is working fine but sendmail is not listening to roaming mail clients. Sending of message failed. The message could not be sent because connecting to SMTP server foo.domainname.ca failed. The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections. Please verify that your SMTP server settings are correct and try again, or contact the server administrator. However I can telnet to the port 25 just fine ... bizarre. -- Dennis

We have mail_nfs*=yes and mmap_disable=yes settings in dovecot.conf. Please let me know why the above error coming in dovecot logs? Regards, Gourav Joshi

[Dovecot] maildir / deliver question
by Martin Waschbuesch 12 Jul '10

12 Jul '10

Hi all, I have the following situation: On a qmail toaster I am running (with dovecot 1.2.12 as the IMAP server), spam mail gets automatically put into a 'this might be spam' folder (per user). Now, every user has the opportunity to move that mail into either a 'learn as spam' or a 'this was ham' folder and the mail items will be treated accordingly. As a cronjob, I run a script that loops through all the users' folders and either learns as spam and deletes or learns as ham and moves back to the user's inbox. My questions now are these: 1.) Is there any danger regarding maildir consistency in directly moving mail items about? 2.) Could I somehow use deliver to move the mails? I think I can recall that other LDAs (maildrop?) allow for that? This would of course be preferred as the maildir cache would also still be optimized after the operation. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd really appreciate this. Thanks a lot for your help and this great tool!
