[Dovecot] dovecot 1.2.11/ thunderbird 3.1 - moving folders
by Andre Hübner 02 Jul '10

02 Jul '10

Hello List, customers telled me problem when moving folders in thunderbird which i can confirm. Following setup on my side: dovecot 1.2.11 with mbox. Thunderbird 3.1 with ready mailaccount and "Server supports folders that contain sub-folders and messages" is disabled. i create folder1 for subfolders and in folder1 a folder2 for mails. Now i create folder3 on toplevel like just like folder1 for subfolders. Now i drag/dop folder2 to folder3. Thunderbird is moving this folder successful but in folder1/.imap i can still see a folder folder2 which is containing a dovecot.index.log At this point thunderbird shows error-message when i start to delete folder1. It tells: [CANNOT] Mailbox is'nt selectable: folder1. AND [NONEXISTENT] Directory folder1 is'nt empty, can't delete it. What to do now? Is error on my or thunderbirds side? Parts of my config needed? Thanks, Andre

[Dovecot] Quota in mysql dict not properly recalculated on 1.2?
by Joan 02 Jul '10

02 Jul '10

Good morning, I am trying to add quota storage on mysql following the guide in the wiki http://wiki.dovecot.org/Quota/Dict, and I am having some problems. My setup works fine for the newly created accounts, and correctly increases/decreases quota when necessary. The wrong part seems to be the recalculation. It seems to me that the system doesn't count the real occupation when it has to recreate the quota entry for a username. This is the case: .- User test(a)testing.com has a quota 200000 bytes, I delete the entry of the database for user, and then when I do the: echo 'x GETQUOTAROOT Inbox' | USER=test(a)testing.com /usr/sbin/dovecot --exec-mail imap .- These are ALL the queries I see, I am missing the userdb queries to get the real quota. INSERT INTO quota_dovecot (bytes,username) VALUES ('0','test(a)testing.com') ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE bytes='0' INSERT INTO quota_dovecot (messages,username) VALUES ('0','test(a)testing.com') ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE messages='0' COMMIT SELECT bytes FROM quota_dovecot WHERE username = 'test(a)testing.com' SELECT messages FROM quota_dovecot WHERE username = 'test(a)testing.com' .- And the result also seems to indicate that it's not reading the quota from userdb * PREAUTH [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE SORT SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT IDLE CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE QRESYNC ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH LIST-STATUS QUOTA] Logged in as test(a)testing.com * QUOTAROOT "Inbox" "user" * QUOTA "user" (STORAGE 0 1048576) x OK Getquotaroot completed. It seems to me that dovecot --exec-mail doesn't do the mysql lookups to get the usersdb. Note: attached are my dovecot -n output and the relevant .conf files

[Dovecot] Per-user quotas aren't working
by Guillaume CHARREYRON 02 Jul '10

Hello I tried to get per-user quotas working. The global quota is working well, but I can't get the one work on my test user: dovecot -n # 1.1.20: /etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.18-164.el5 i686 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4 (Tikanga) log_path: /var/log/dovecot.log info_log_path: /var/log/dovecot.info.log protocols: pop3 login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login login_greeting: test-POP3 READY mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir mail_executable: /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugins: quota mail_plugin_dir: /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 pop3_client_workarounds: outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh lda: postmaster_address: grog(a)test.mymail.srv mail_plugins: quota auth default: verbose: yes debug: yes debug_passwords: yes passdb: driver: passwd-file args: /etc/password.pop3 userdb: driver: passwd-file args: /etc/password.pop3 plugin: quota: maildir:User quota quota_rule: *:storage=10M quota_rule2: Trash:storage=1M with users line in my password.pop3 like this: test-oper:{plain}test-oper:501:501::/home/test-oper::userdb_quota_rule=*:bytes=2 0M allow_nets=192.168.4.0/24 I know that this file is well understood since the allow_nets works well. But I don't know why, the specific user quota rule isn't taken. I also use the Dovecot deliver process. Here is the info log: dovecot: Jul 02 12:55:32 Info: auth(default): passwd-file(test-oper,192.168.4.239): lookup: user=test-oper file=/etc/password.pop3 dovecot: Jul 02 12:55:32 Info: auth(default): auth(test-oper,192.168.4.239): allow_nets: Matching for network 192.168.4.0/24 dovecot: Jul 02 12:55:32 Info: auth(default): client out: OK 1 user=test-oper dovecot: Jul 02 12:55:32 Info: auth(default): master in: REQUEST 1 4521 1 dovecot: Jul 02 12:55:32 Info: auth(default): passwd-file(test-oper,192.168.4.239): lookup: user=test-oper file=/etc/password.pop3 dovecot: Jul 02 12:55:32 Info: auth(default): master out: USER 1 test-oper uid=501 gid=501 home=/home/test-oper quota_rule=*:bytes=20M dovecot: Jul 02 12:55:32 Info: pop3-login: Login: user=<test-oper>, method=PLAIN, rip=192.168.4.239, lip=192.168.4.239, secured deliver(test-oper): Jul 02 12:55:47 Info: msgid=<11c5.0003.0000(a)test.mymail.srv>: save failed to INBOX: Quota exceeded (mailbox for user is full) deliver(test-oper): Jul 02 12:55:47 Info: msgid=<11c5.0003.0000(a)test.mymail.srv>: rejected: Quota exceeded (mailbox for user is full) deliver(grog): Jul 02 12:55:47 Info: msgid=<dovecot-1278068147-645784-0(a)test.mymail.srv>: saved mail to INBOX dovecot: Jul 02 12:56:13 Info: POP3(test-oper): Disconnected: Logged out top=0/0, retr=0/0, del=0/15, size=13816325 The corresponding maildirsize still show the global quota, and not the "test-oper" one: more /home/test-oper/Maildir/maildirsize 10485760S 13643547 15 I also tried to delete it, restart dovecot service, the result is the same. Do you have any idea? Guillaume

[Dovecot] address extension going into folder
by Phil Howard 01 Jul '10

01 Jul '10

Is it possible with a simple config change to make address extensions, e.g. alice+sales(a)example.com, go into a folder, e.g. .INBOX.sales, and do so ONLY if that folder already exists (and just go into INBOX if it does not exist)?

[Dovecot] Can't establish Dovecot authorization in Exim.
by 秋元亮二 30 Jun '10

30 Jun '10

Hi, I have some problem in Dovecot authorization in Exim for outgoing SMTP. Version of Exim is 4.69 and the Exim was compiled with "AUTH_DOVECOT=yes" and "AUTH_PLAINTEXT=yes". Version of Dovecot is 1.2.12. I use SSL for IMAP. Is Exim neccesary to use SSL(TLS) for authorization of outgoing SMTP? Configuration files is as follows; - Exim ---------------------------------------------------------- dovecot_login: driver = dovecot public_name = LOGIN server_socket = /var/run/dovecot/auth-client server_set_id = $auth1 dovecot_plain: driver = dovecot public_name = PLAIN server_socket = /var/run/dovecot/auth-client server_set_id = $auth2 ---------------------------------------------------------- - Dovecot ---------------------------------------------------------- auth default { mechanisms = plain login passdb pam { args = cache_key=%u dovecot } userdb passwd { } socket listen { #master { #} client { path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-client mode = 0666 } } } ---------------------------------------------------------- Do I have to set other than that, like TLS for Exim? Thanks in advance. _________________________________________________________________ Hotmailがサクサク動く！フィッシング詐欺も怖くない http://o.jp.msn.com/ie8/

[Dovecot] "forgot my password" feature
by Mustafa Cagatayli 30 Jun '10

30 Jun '10

Hi, We have a mail server with the postfix/Squirrelmail/Dovecot(v.1.1.11) combination which we have user data on MySQL through virtual users. We have configured the SquirrelMail interface so that users can now change their own passwords. Is there any opensource solution to provide "self service password management" which would allow us to add the "I forgot my password. Lets reset it" feature which would do the authentication with the help of some random personal data or personal question/answer combination ? Regards. -- Mustafa Çağataylı BİM
