Why would dovecot not be answering
by Ruben Safir 23 Jan '22

I am really lost as to why dovecot is not authenticating I have smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot in main.cf and # Postfix smtp-auth unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { mode = 0666 user = postfix group = postfix } in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf I want it to authenticate on submition only Everything I read says this should do it, but I am up against a wall. I have no debugging information or log at all to confirm what postfix is doing. -- So many immigrant groups have swept through our town that Brooklyn, like Atlantis, reaches mythological proportions in the mind of the world - RI Safir 1998 http://www.mrbrklyn.com DRM is THEFT - We are the STAKEHOLDERS - RI Safir 2002 http://www.nylxs.com - Leadership Development in Free Software http://www2.mrbrklyn.com/resources - Unpublished Archive http://www.coinhangout.com - coins! http://www.brooklyn-living.com Being so tracked is for FARM ANIMALS and extermination camps, but incompatible with living as a free human being. -RI Safir 2013

S3 integration w Dovecot
by Martin Olsen 21 Jan '22

21 Jan '22

Good morning, day, evening :P As stated on documentation S3-compatible Storages — Dovecot documentation <https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/mail_location/obox/s3/> only AWS S3 is officially supported. However, we know that Scality has been successfully integrated at some larger corporations. Particularly curious if anyone has integrated with Pure S3 object storage solution, or any other for that matter? Just looking at some different options. - Sincerely, Martin.

sockets created for lmtp
by Mike 20 Jan '22

20 Jan '22

Was recently configuring lmtp to listen in the postfix spool for mail. I set the socket as suggested in the documentation, however, when I look at what sockets were created there was an additional one for dovecot. Since I made the change, my expectation would have been just the one that I set up. I doubt it impacts it negatively, but I wanted to understand if I configured things correctly or not. Thanks. Mike

FTS Tokenization filters normalizer-icu vs lowercase
by Alessio Cecchi 20 Jan '22

20 Jan '22

Hi, I'm trying to setup fts-flatcurve with tokenization. What are the differences/benefits with "fts_filters = normalizer-icu" vs "fts_filters = lowercase"? Reading the Doc I found about normalizer-icu "This is potentially very resource intensive." and about lowercase "Supports UTF8, when compiled with libicu". So, using lowercase is almost the same that normalizer-icu but faster? FYI for using fts-flatcurve with dovecot RPM packages from repo.dovecot.org you have to rebuild with --with-icu --with-stemmer --with-textcat and related library. Thanks -- Alessio Cecchi Postmaster @ http://www.qboxmail.it https://www.linkedin.com/in/alessice

Save of messages slow when replica unavailable
by Jörg Faudin Schulz 20 Jan '22

20 Jan '22

We have a setup with a dovecot server + replica. This works fine as long as the replica is available. When the replica is not available for some reason, the clients can work normally with one exception: the saving of sent messages to their inboxes takes ages. Thunderbird times out and complains (and duplicates the message), mail.app just waits until it's done. Is there any setting that helps here? For the time being, I deactivated replication; but this isn't a long time solution. Thank you for all your work&support, appreciating the doc as well.

lmtp_save_to_detail_mailbox
by dovecot＠ptld.com 19 Jan '22

19 Jan '22

lmtp_save_to_detail_mailbox: " If the recipient address includes a detail element / role (as in user+detail format), save the message to the detail mailbox. " Im not understanding this, what is the "detail mailbox"? I tried testing this feature by setting "lmtp_save_to_detail_mailbox = yes" and sending an email to user+test(a)example.com. The email still ended up in the default inbox folder. So what does lmtp_save_to_detail_mailbox do or is there another setting that also needs to be set to use this feature?

Outlook vs. Dovecot experience
by Vladislav Kurz 18 Jan '22

18 Jan '22

Dear colleagues, what is your experience regarding using outlook (2016/365) as IMAP client and dovecot on server side? We have sync issues with outlook vs. cyrus IMAP server, and we consider moving to dovecot. But before that I'd like to hear from others if this combination works well. Especially if users have large and bushy mailboxes (>10 GB, >100 mailboxes), two mailboxes (accounts) on the same server. I don't want to do the migration just to find out that it is general issue of outlook vs. any IMAP server. -- Best regards Vladislav Kurz
