[Dovecot] Released Sieve v0.1.12 and ManageSieve v0.11.9 for Dovecot v1.2.4
by Stephan Bosch 21 Aug '09

21 Aug '09

Hello Dovecot users, I finally managed to make new releases of Sieve and ManageSieve for the recent Dovecot v1.2.4 release. The ManageSieve release is important to match login proxy API changes in Dovecot; older versions will not compile against the new Dovecot release. The new Sieve release first includes the new date extension, which allows matching against date values in header fields and the current date-time at script execution. Changelog Sieve v0.1.12: + Testsuite: added support for testing binaries stored on disk. + Implemented the new date extension. This allows matching against date values in header fields and the current date at the time of script evaluation. Changelog ManageSieve v0.11.9: * Adjusted to changes in the Dovecot login proxy API. This release therefore depends on Dovecot v1.2.4. + Reintroduced ability to abort SASL with "*" response. Latest ManageSieve specification includes it. The releases are available as follows: Sieve: http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2-sieve-0.1.12.tar.gz http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2-sieve-0.1.12.tar.gz.sig ManageSieve (package + patch): http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2-managesieve-0.11.9.tar.gz http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2-managesieve-0.11.9.tar.gz.s… http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2.4-managesieve-0.11.9.diff.gz http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2.4-managesieve-0.11.9.diff.g… Have fun testing the new releases and don't hesitate to notify me when there are problems. Regards, -- Stephan Bosch stephan(a)rename-it.nl

[Dovecot] dovecot-1.2.4, sendmail,deliver,sieve
by Jonathan Siegle 20 Aug '09

20 Aug '09

I'm trying to setup deliver as an LDA for system users. I've read http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sendmail which handles virtual users. I don't see a README for what I need. I want sendmail to accept the mail and then hand off to deliver with sieve plugin. Deliver should look in the users home directory which is found in /etc/passwd for the sieve-script to see what to do with it. If the sieve-script DNE, then just deliver to INBOX(from dovecot.conf). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Jonathan protocols: imap disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /usr/dovecot-1.2.4/var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/dovecot-1.2.4/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_greeting: Dovecot ready. login_processes_count: 30 max_mail_processes: 4096 mail_location: mbox:%h:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%Ju/%u mail_full_filesystem_access: yes mmap_disable: yes dotlock_use_excl: no mbox_write_locks: fcntl mbox_lazy_writes: no mail_plugins: mbox_snarf mail_plugin_dir: /usr/dovecot-1.2.4/lib/dovecot/imap/ imap_client_workarounds: tb-extra-mailbox-sep imap_id_log: * lda: postmaster_address: postmaster@localhost auth default: mechanisms: plain gssapi krb5_keytab: /etc/krb5/krb5.keytab gssapi_hostname: $ALL debug: yes worker_max_count: 2 passdb: driver: pam args: max_requests=1 userdb: driver: passwd plugin: mbox_snarf: /gpfs/inbox/%Ju/%u

[Dovecot] Oops!
by Daniel L. Miller 20 Aug '09

20 Aug '09

I was testing a new webmail client - like an idiot, against my own mailbox, instead of a test mailbox (or even a separate server) - and my Inbox got wiped. Fortunately I backup our mails nightly, so I only lost a couple from today. No idea how the wipe occured - I didn't INTENTIONALLY perform a delete + purge...but it happened. Is there a way of configuring Dovecot to ensure that any delete operation specified by a client results in a "move to Trash" as a precaution? Instead of relying on the client to perform it? -- Daniel

[Dovecot] v1.2.4 released
by Timo Sirainen 19 Aug '09

19 Aug '09

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/dovecot-1.2.4.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/dovecot-1.2.4.tar.gz.sig I'll be on vacation for the rest of this week. I'll read my mails once in a while though. * acl: When looking up ACL defaults, use global/local default files if they exist. So it's now possible to set default ACLs by creating dovecot-acl file to the mail root directory. + imap/pop3 proxy: If proxy destination is known to be down, fail connections to it immediately. + imap/pop3 proxy: Added proxy_timeout passdb extra field to specify proxy's connect timeout. - Fixed a crash in index file handling. - Fixed a crash in saving messages where message contained a CR character that wasn't followed by LF (and the CR happened to be the last character in an internal buffer). - v1.2.3 crashed when listing shared namespace prefix. - listescape plugin: Several fixes. - autocreate plugin: Fixed autosubscribing to mailboxes in subscriptions=no namespaces.

[Dovecot] dovecot/sieve current date
by bart 19 Aug '09

19 Aug '09

Hi, Is there a way in sieve to get the current date, preferably in YYYYMMDD format? To what I've found it's hard to achieve. I have tried including a :global sieve script in which I would set the current date to a certain variable and overwrite this included script every day. But to my disappointement variables set in an included script do not exist in the original script... In fact what I want to achieve is that some actions like forwarding or vacation messages are performed from a certain date untill another date. Which would allow a user to define a timeperiod in which the autoreply or forward should be done and automatically stop without updating the sieve script again. Comparing start and stopdate is cake, but just getting today's date seems to be a hassle, any ideas? regards, bart

[Dovecot] Restoring backup?
by Bjørn T Johansen 18 Aug '09

18 Aug '09

I have understood correctly when thinking that all I need to do in order to restore mails, is to just copy the old maildir folder to the location where mail_location is pointing to and dovecot will find all the mails and display the old mails?
