[Dovecot] Question about the pop3 feature "leave messages on server for a certain period of time"
by Δημήτριος Καραπιπέ ρης 12 Sep '09

12 Sep '09

Hi all I am missing something on the the pop3 "leave messages" rationale. Although the UIDL feature solves for the MUA the problem "whch mails should be downloaded", how the duration that these mails should be kept on server, say 10 days for one MUA and 20 days for another MUA for the same account, is resolved on the server? thanks in advance -- ΔΗΜΗΤΡΙΟΣ ΚΑΡΑΠΙΠΕΡΗΣ ΤΕΧΝ.

[Dovecot] Sieve, vacation, variables and russian language
by Sergey Grigorian 12 Sep '09

12 Sep '09

Folks, I'm using a Sieve script for vacation messages and there's something strange with it in certain cases. The script uses the "variables" extension to produce the "Re: [original subject] (autoreply)" subject line for the vacation message. All is well except for cases when that [original subject] is written in Russian. In those cases the subject string is garbled, and the Amavis content filter says "X-Amavis-Alert: BAD HEADER SECTION, Non-encoded 8-bit data (char D0 hex):Subject: RE: \320\277\321?\320\276\320\261\320\260 (Auto[...]" It doesn't complain about English subject strings, though. I've seen the thread about "Sieve vacation with russian subject" at http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2009-July/041031.html , but that wasn't quite a solution. I can't figure out how to work around that, could anyone help out please? Mandatory info: FreeBSD 7.2 i386, dovecot 1.2.3, dovecot-sieve-1.2+0.1.11 And here's the script itself: require ["fileinto", "vacation", "variables"]; set "subject" ""; if header :matches "subject" "*" { set "subject" "${1}"; } vacation :days 1 :subject "RE: ${subject}" "[vacation message text]"; P.S. Stephan Bosch, thank you very much for what you've done with sieve.

[Dovecot] Problem Deleting IMAP Folders
by Stuart Gall 11 Sep '09

11 Sep '09

Hello, In my configuration I have mail_location = maildir:/Mail/frank.gr/%n:INDEX=/Mail/frank.gr/ __Indexes/%u I can create new folders in an IMAP session, but when I try to delete I get permission denied. From the LOG Sep 10 13:20:06 IMAP(stuart): Error: unlink_directory(/Mail/frank.gr/ __Indexes/stuart/.TEST) failed: Permission denied ls -ald /Mail/frank.gr/__Indexes/stuart/.TEST drwx------ 2 mail mem 4096 2009-09-10 13:20 /Mail/frank.gr/__Indexes/ stuart/.TEST/ ls -al /Mail/frank.gr/__Indexes/stuart/.TEST total 12 drwx------ 2 mail mem 4096 2009-09-10 13:20 ./ drwx------ 4 mail mem 4096 2009-09-10 13:20 ../ -rw------- 1 mail mem 156 2009-09-10 13:20 dovecot.index.log It looks like dovecot is trying to unlink the INDEX directory without first deleting the index log file. Anyone else experienced this problem ? -- Stuart Gall ---------------------------------------------- All of your mail are belong to us

[Dovecot] dovecot 1.2 and logging start failures
by Michal Hlavinka 11 Sep '09

11 Sep '09

Hi, I've got report about issue when dovecot fails to start and there is no error logged (error goes only to stderr) situation: 1) dovecot is running 2) dovecot is automatically updated to new version (by yum update daemon), after update, dovecot is restarted (it's part of update script) 3) new dovecot fails to start (for whatever reason) result: dovecot not running and no error message has been logged because (at least some) errors were written to stderr only and not syslog another situation (original issue) was when dovecot was configured to listen for ipv4 and ipv6 connections. ipv6 support was disabled. After server reboot, dovecot failed to start, producing dovecot: Fatal: listen(::, 143) failed: Address already in use only to stderr, nothing in logs. Would it be possible to use syslog for error output sooner or there are any cons? Regards, Michal Hlavinka

Hello, i sync with imapsync from an archiopteryx-server to an dovecot-server, for testing until now. The dovecot is inside an VM. storage for mail is on an nfs-share, indexes are local. What i now see, is, on large folder( 58000 messages and more) the load on the imap-process is very high, and slowdown the transferprocess. Is there something, I can do.

[Dovecot] New need to delete dovecot-acl-list in dovecot 1.2?
by Adam McDougall 10 Sep '09

10 Sep '09

I just started testing 1.2.3 then 1.2.4 this week, I was too busy earlier in the year to look at 1.2 at all. So far so good except I noticed newly granted permissions via ACL on some newly created public mailboxes were not visible by the client. It seemed to be a version thing because the same files work fine concurrently on a server running 1.1.x. I came across this in the ACLwiki which seems to fix it: List cache dovecot-acl-list file lists all mailboxes that have "l" rights assigned. If you manually add/edit dovecot-acl files, you may need to delete the dovecot-acl-list to get the mailboxes visible. I don't ever recall needing to do this before, and it sounds similar to this which I have had set to 10 for a long time: # cache_secs parameter # specifies how many seconds to wait between stat()ing dovecot-acl file # to see if it changed. All of my dovecot-acl files are symlinks so hopefully it runs stat() on the target, but just in case I tried recreating the symlink afterwards but it didn't help and its over NFS so who knows if the running dovecot 'saw' it. Do I need to debug this behavior further or will I just have to live with remembering to delete the dovecot-acl-list file when I manually change dovecot-acl contents? Thanks.

[Dovecot] Odd/Incorrect Quota Reporting on Dovecot 1.2.4 & FreeBSD4
by Siraj 'Sid' Rakhada 10 Sep '09

10 Sep '09

Hi, Am seeing an odd problem on an old FreeBSD 4.11 box that I'm trying to get courier off, and dovecot on. At the same time, I'm trying to put some fairly simple quota support on, but getting very odd results. I think it might be better described with the log below, but, the gist of it is this: I have set a 1GB quota, and I was getting intermittent reports on the quota usage - sometimes at the correct usage (300MB or so), and then at some crazy amount over the quota usage. I can get it to be consistently incorrect though, as displayed with the below log. The maildirsize is correct, and matches closely to 'du' output, it's simply coming through incorrect on IMAP. It also only seems to happen if the maildirsize is not created before the first 'getquota[root]' command occurs. I think it's something to do with dovecot + FreeBSD (at least, this version)! I've done a quick test on a Debian box, and I don't have the same problem. Anyone else have any ideas what could be going wrong on this FreeBSD box? Is it worth me giving the dovecot -n output at this stage? It happens on different mailboxes too, this is just a sample. Thanks! ----- information & log follow # /usr/local/dovecot/sbin/dovecot --version 1.2.4 # uname -a FreeBSD server1.domain 4.11-RELEASE-p13 FreeBSD 4.11-RELEASE-p13 #5: Wed Oct 12 18:02:46 BST 2005 root@server1.domain:/usr/obj/build/src/sys/FBSD410RELENG i386 # cat maildirsize 1073741824S 304806180 16002 Attempt 1: .

[Dovecot] Password & Authentication schemes to comply with postfixadmin
by bsd 09 Sep '09

09 Sep '09

Hello, I am using the latest version of Dovecot on a FreeBSD box. I am trying to figure out which password scheme to use to comply with my database backend which is administered by "postfix admin". Here is an example of the password that can be generated in the database using the various encryption schemes available in postfix admin: $1$a733fb07$/g1h6opQxemdWUtzD2/kQ. --> md5crypt 25f9e794323b453885f5181f1b624d0b --> md5 acFhkap78XB2I --> system I am not certain I have understood very well how things all feet together… I have tried to modify the various options in dovecot-mysql.conf in order to comply with these settings: I have updated "default_pass_scheme" to "PLAIN-MD5, DIGEST-MD5, and CRYPT" but none of this seems to work. Do I have to modify something in dovecot.conf? For the moment I have these settings: auth default { mechanisms = plain login passdb sql { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot-mysql.conf } userdb sql { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot-mysql.conf } socket listen { client { path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode = 0660 user = postfix group = postfix } } } The main idea is simply not to have cleatext passwd in the DB. Thanks for your support. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Gregober ---> PGP ID --> 0x1BA3C2FD bsd @at@ todoo.biz ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ P "Please consider your environmental responsibility before printing this e-mail"

[Dovecot] LDA does not read quota from userdb's extra fields
by Tim Chen 09 Sep '09

09 Sep '09

The version I use is dovecot 1.2.4 My config in dovecot.conf protocol imap { mail_plugins = quota imap_quota mail_log } protocol lda { mail_plugins = quota } userdb passwd-file { args = /etc/dovecot.userdb } quota = maildir quota_rule = *:storage=100MB /etc/dovecot.userdb user1:*:2001:2001::/ms/user1::userdb_quota_rule=*:storage=300M And in postfix/main.cf mailbox_command = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver I wish to have a global quota 100MB for all the users and using /etc/dovecot.userdb to specify larger quota(300MB) for some vip users. IMAP works normally as expected, using the following command will report correct quota. a login user1 pass1 user1 getquotaroot INBOX However, it seems LDA treat all users the same quota (100MB), and when trying to send mails to those vip users(300MB), it will reject the email and report "552 Requested mailbox exceeds quota. (in reply to RCPT TO command))" My speculation is LDA forget the read 'extra fields' from userdb, would you please help to verify it? Thanks very much for your help. Sincerely, Tim Chen
