[Dovecot] Subfolders not listed in Dovecot-1.2.2 with listescape
by Petter Urkedal 03 Aug '09

03 Aug '09

After upgrading to Dovecot-1.2.2 from 1.1* subfolders disappeared, though it was possible to access them directly, e.g. with "mutt -f =lists/dovecot". The problem only occurs if the listescape plugin is enabled. Some relevant bits from the configuration: namespace private { # The only namespace. separator = / prefix = inbox = yes } protocol imap { mail_plugins = fts fts_squat listescape }

[Dovecot] Best way to get login protocol (pop3/imap) in post-login script
by Zhang Huangbin 03 Aug '09

03 Aug '09

Hi, all. I found doc here: http://wiki.dovecot.org/PostLoginScripting and use ${USER}, ${IP} to track last-login username and remote ip address, but how can i track the mail protocol it used? like pop3, pop3s, imap, imaps? Currently, i wrote shell script as post-login script, and use below command to get protocol: ---- $(basename ${MAIL_PLUGIN_DIR}) ---- But is it the best way to get it? Thanks very much. :) -- Best Regards.

[Dovecot] How to delete retrieved mail
by Don Muller 03 Aug '09

03 Aug '09

Hi All, I use Dovecot and XMail on a QNAP TS-509 NAS. QNAP has combined the two into a package they call XDove. Everything seems to be working great except for one thing. When Dovecot retrieves the mail from XMail it is not removing it from XMail. It is leaving a copy on XMail. Is there an option I can set in Dovecot so it will delete the mail message from XMail when it retrieves it. Thanks Don

[Dovecot] Client Cert Auth Problem
by Christian Felsing 03 Aug '09

03 Aug '09

Hello, is there a config possible which supports both of following authentication schemes ? 1st: If user presents a client certificate, he can log in w/o username/password, where user id comes from CN. Accepting any password is not the right solution. 2nd: If user does not present a client certificate, he have to authenticate by username/password. In both cases user data is read from userdb LDAP, which is already working. I was not able to get both auth schemes working at same time. With Postfix such a config is fully operable. regards Christian

[Dovecot] Public folders, individual SEEN flags
by Keith Edmunds 03 Aug '09

03 Aug '09

Hi list I'm trying to set up shared public folders with individual SEEN flags. I've set up three test users, but as soon as one of them marks a mail in the public folder as seen or unseen, that change is propagated to all three users. If I watch the dovecot.index.log file in each user's directory for the public folder, I see all three change their last access time as soon as one user changes the SEEN status of a mail. Any hints as to what I'm doing wrong gratefully received, thanks. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # dovecot --version 1.2.1 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # dovecot -n # 1.2.1: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 i686 Debian 5.0.2 log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login mail_privileged_group: mail namespace: type: private separator: / inbox: yes list: yes subscriptions: yes namespace: type: public separator: / prefix: shared/ location: maildir:/home/publicfolders:INDEX=~/Maildir/public list: yes auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # ls -l /home/publicfolders/dovecot-shared -rw-rw-r-- 1 publicfolders publicfolders 0 2009-07-27 15:01 /home/publicfolders/dovecot-shared --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Dovecot] expire plugin no delete 1.2.1
by Robert Schetterer 03 Aug '09

03 Aug '09

Hi Timo, all of my tests fail with expire plugin, mail simply not get deleted i cant find any stuff in the logs why it does not or should not work. My guess that there is a problem with virtual plugin and/or shared namespace. It shouldnt be a problem with acl starting the script over cron as root am i right ? do you have any idea why it fails, is there a way to ignore all unneeded shared or virtual namespaces ? should there be a entry in the log when expire time is reached and deletion is unsuccessfull ? -- Best Regards MfG Robert Schetterer Germany/Munich/Bavaria

[Dovecot] Shared mailboxes and INBOX
by Keith Edmunds 03 Aug '09

03 Aug '09

I'm trying to implement a shared mailbox: in other words, we have a generic email address ("security@") which we want a number of users to be able to monitor. The problem I have is that users can see folders under that shared mailbox but can't see the INBOX. All the users in question have their own INBOX in their private namespace, so does this raise a conflict with monitoring another mailbox's INBOX? Configuration: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # dovecot -n # 1.2.1: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 i686 Debian 5.0.2 log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login mail_privileged_group: mail namespace: type: private separator: / inbox: yes list: yes subscriptions: yes namespace: type: public separator: / prefix: shared/ location: maildir:/home/publicfolders:INDEX=~/Maildir/public list: yes namespace: type: shared separator: / prefix: security/ location: maildir:/home/securitymailbox/Maildir:INDEX=~/Maildir/securitymailbox list: yes auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks, Keith

[Dovecot] sieve filtering setup
by Jonathan Siegle 02 Aug '09

02 Aug '09

I'm looking at implementing sieve in my environment. Software is: dovecot-1.2-sieve revision 1022:3c9a22c28156 dovecot-1.2 revision 9269:a303bb82c1c9 AIX 5.3 with sendmail mta using prescribed deliver lda. I have a few questions. I'll have 110k sieve files(1 for each user). Does sieve read the file each time a new message is accepted by sendmail? Are there any measurements on cpu load for sieve filters? Thanks, Jonathan
