[Dovecot] simple feature request: IMAP logged out message
by Leonardo Rodrigues 18 Sep '09

18 Sep '09

i'd like to make a simple feature request on dovecot .... i'm using v1.2.4 (latest one) and IMAP logout message, by default is: Sep 18 14:26:27 correio dovecot: IMAP(user(a)domain.com): Disconnected: Logged out bytes=384/932222 the message can be a little customized with: # IMAP logout format string: # %i - total number of bytes read from client # %o - total number of bytes sent to client imap_logout_format = bytes=%i/%o The remote IP address, the IP which the user is coming from, can only be seen on the login message: Sep 14 09:09:12 correio dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<user(a)domain.com>, method=PLAIN, rip=187.6.xx.xx, lip=200.140.yy.yy the feature request is that the remote IP address could be added on the Logout message too, that would make much easier to watch connections from some specific user and from some specific ip address, regarding traffic of the connection. For example, something like: Sep 18 14:26:27 correio dovecot: IMAP(user(a)domain.com): Disconnected: Logged out bytes=384/932222, rip=187.6.xx.xx, lip=200.140.yy.yy -- Atenciosamente / Sincerily, Leonardo Rodrigues Solutti Tecnologia http://www.solutti.com.br Minha armadilha de SPAM, NÃO mandem email gertrudes(a)solutti.com.br My SPAMTRAP, do not email it

[Dovecot] IMAP clients suddenly redownload folder headers
by Brent Bloxam 18 Sep '09

18 Sep '09

We had an issue today with IMAP clients (Thunderbird, Outlook) having to redownload headers for folders. This issue was eerily close to a MySQL database structure change that shouldn't have affected any related queries, however we did notice an event of user CPU % not being reported via SNMP around the same time for the server. There are no entries in our dovecot error log around the outage. We're running Dovecot 1.1.13 with MySQL being used for user and password queries, and Maildir for storage on a fibre channel SAN. However, it is possible for some stores to be on an NFS mount (supporting legacy during migration), which is why there is the nfs options in the below config. I'm wondering if someone could shed light on what could cause this to occur. I imagine it's related to the index cache's, but the lack of any mention in the error logs has me puzzled. Output of dovecot -n: # 1.1.13: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf # OS: FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE i386 base_dir: /var/run/dovecot log_path: /var/log/dovecot-error.log info_log_path: /var/log/dovecot-info.log protocols: imap pop3 ssl_disable: yes disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login mail_max_userip_connections: 100 first_valid_uid: 89 mail_privileged_group: 89 mail_uid: 89 mail_gid: 89 mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir mail_debug: yes mmap_disable: yes mail_nfs_storage: yes mail_nfs_index: yes lock_method: dotlock mail_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/rawlog /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/rawlog /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3 pop3_uidl_format(default): %08Xu%08Xv pop3_uidl_format(imap): %08Xu%08Xv pop3_uidl_format(pop3): %f namespace: type: private separator: . prefix: INBOX. inbox: yes list: yes subscriptions: yes auth default: mechanisms: plain apop cache_size: 10240 cache_negative_ttl: 30 username_format: %Lu passdb: driver: sql args: /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: sql args: /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf

Re: [Dovecot] Dovecot and LDAP-Quotas

Hi Timo, I solved the problem. The problem was the right order in dovecot.conf. "userdb ldap" should stand in front of "userdb static".

[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.
