[Dovecot] Secondary groups from ldap
by Ian Levesque 17 Sep '09

17 Sep '09

Hello, I'm trying to configure my user_attrs using LDAP as the userdb so that dovecot knows what secondary groups a user is a member of. The LDAP backend is an Open Directory implementation, which stores secondary group affiliations as memberUid attributes in cn=groupname,cn=groups,dc=dns,dc=name,dc=server. With ldapsearch, my query would be: ldapsearch -x -b cn=groups,dc=dns,dc=name,dc=server "(memberUid=ian)" cn Is this possible to configure in Dovecot? Thanks, Ian

[Dovecot] Upgrade Question about mail_location
by John Dubchak 17 Sep '09

17 Sep '09

Hi, I plan on upgrading from 1.1.13 to 1.2.4 using an RPM. I have read the wiki [1] and have a question about the mail_location variable. Currently, in 1.1.13, I use: mail_location = maildir:/var/spool/virtual_mailboxes/%h with virtual mailboxes. However, I am planning to change it to use: home=/var/spool/virtual_mailboxes mail_location = maildir:%h as part of the new configuration. Is that correct or have I misinterpreted the wiki? Thanks, John [1] http://wiki.dovecot.org/Upgrading/1.2

[Dovecot] signal 10 error under dovecot 1.1.8
by Thomas M Goerger 17 Sep '09

17 Sep '09

Hi, We're seeing a new error under Dovecot 1.1.8 that we haven't seen before. Sep 14 09:00:10 hostname dovecot: [ID 684838 local6.error] child 638 (imap) killed with signal 10 This is being seen under dovecot 1.1.8, on Solaris 10u6. This is the only server we've got running this software. We're not seeing this on any of our other 5 servers running the 1.1.x series. Namely 1.1.6 on Solaris 10u6. Any idea what might be causing this error to pop up?

[Dovecot] 1.2.5: quota.c + quota_fs.c crashs dovecot
by Ralf Becker 16 Sep '09

16 Sep '09

Hi Timo, "quota.c" calls "root->backend.v.init_limits(root)", but "quota_fs.c" initializes this with NULL. On AIX e.g. this results in core dumping imap with SIGILL. I've attached a (quick and dirty) patch. Ralf -- ______________________________________________________________________ Dipl.-Inform.

[Dovecot] General question for Dovecot under OpenBSD
by jean-francois 15 Sep '09

15 Sep '09

Hello All, First of all thanks a lot for providing a quality software such as Dovecot. I am having troubles for setting up the config files of OpenBSD's binary package of Dovecot, flavor sieve/mysql. Do you know where some documentation could be found for setting up correctly the .conf (dovecot.conf & dovecot-sql.conf) since it does not even load ("Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot.conf line 871: Unknows setting: args"). I shall understand that the problem lies in dovecot-sql.conf, which is not a file I understand well and can configure correctly, as it seems. Some more docs/infos about this issue could be helpful. Thks, JF

[Dovecot] Thunderbird does not find the right folders :-(
by sterkel＠gmx.de 15 Sep '09

15 Sep '09

Moika, Overnight, I migrated my user-mails from uw-imap to dovecot-maildir. I used the uw2dovecot.pl script to convert all mails and changed exim, too. Receiving mails works fine allready, but nobody can access the usual subscribed folders with thunderbird. Via "subscriptions" I can find the converted folders in a folder called "_" (underline). People getting mad about me as the cannot find their stuff any more in the usual folders. What can I do that they have the converted stuff in the same folders as they had before?

Hi Timo, No, I mean, when I try to subscribe folders, I get offered a folder "_" with some subfolders. I do a screenshot, its maybe better to understand.

[Dovecot] 1.2.4 Maildir Quota Issues
by Mario Antonio 15 Sep '09

15 Sep '09

Has anybody noticed this behavior when using maildir quota with Version 1.2.4: # 1.2.4: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.26-2-686-bigmem i686 Debian 5.0.3 xfs My default configurations quota configurations: plugin: quota: maildir:User quota quota_rule: *:storage=2G Customized Use Configurations at the Mysql level: user_query = SELECT 5000 AS uid,5000 AS gid,'/vmail/%d/%n' as home, \ concat('*:storage= ', virtual_users.quota_kb) AS quota_rule \ from virtual_users LEFT JOIN virtual_domains ON virtual_users.domain_id=virtual_domains.id \ where virtual_users.user='%n' and virtual_domains.name='%d' When I change quota at the SQL level (per user), that quota becomes active once Dovecot is restarted. Until then it keeps the previous quota assigned. I do not remember seeing this behavior in previous versions --quota was active after sql changes. M.A.

[Dovecot] fixing deleted-to-trash-plugin
by Lex Brugman 15 Sep '09

15 Sep '09

Hi, I'm currently trying to make the deleted-to-trash-plugin work with dovecot v1.2.4, without this plugin the trash mailbox is pretty useless with mail clients like Evolution and Outlook, I still can't believe this functionality isn't intergrated into dovecot since it doesn't even influence the operation of other mail clients that do support this option theirselfs (even when turned on, the plugin detects this and doesn't break the client's functionality). I have modified the plugin to run without errorsin 1.2.4, when using a mail client which doesn't support this feature in the client itself, (according to my debug and the mail-log plugin output) everything works, but the mails are deleted as expected but not visible in the Trash box, it looks like they where copied to /dev/null :P (even though the log output makes me think otherwise). Log output: Sep 09 20:21:09 IMAP(xxx(a)xxx.xxx): Info: opening Trash succeeded Sep 09 20:21:09 IMAP(xxx(a)xxx.xxx): Info: from INBOX to Trash, previous action from (null) Sep 09 20:21:09 IMAP(xxx(a)xxx.xxx): Info: copy: uid=11, dest=Trash, msgid=<7706BCE6-6882-473C-B7F3-62AE3F75F632(a)xxx.xxx>, size=1718 Sep 09 20:21:09 IMAP(xxx(a)xxx.xxx): Info: copying to Trash succeeded Sep 09 20:21:09 IMAP(xxx(a)xxx.xxx): Info: delete: uid=11, msgid=<7706BCE6-6882-473C-B7F3-62AE3F75F632(a)xxx.xxx> The clients I used to test: Evolution and Outlook (they both don't support this feature from the client) and the mail client on an iPhone (which does support this feature, the plugin detects that the client already copied the mail to the Trash box and skips it). I'm really stuck here :( no errors, the logs tell me everything went fine, but it didn't. The source is attached, any help is greatly appreciated! Gr, Lex Brugman

[Dovecot] Crash: imap process, Dovecot 1.2.4, related to ACLs (backtrace included)
by Andreas Ntaflos 14 Sep '09

14 Sep '09

Hi, I started experimenting with ACLs and found I could reliably and reproducibly crash the IMAP process when trying to create a subfolder of a folder that has has ACLs set. The folder is called "Sent" with an ACL of "owner lrwstipke". I wanted to be able to have certain folders the the user cannot delete but where subfolders can be created freely. Relevant information follows and I hope the backtrace is useful (lots of "value optimized out" entries). You can also find everything from below on <https://daff.pseudoterminal.org/misc/dovecot/>.
