Hi Timo, Does this intended %u isn't expanding REALM name, so I've only see user names.

[Dovecot] sieve not working with Postfix and maildir
by Florin Andrei 03 Aug '09

03 Aug '09

I am moving away from Cyrus, I'm trying to migrate to Dovecot. I am trying to get Sieve working with Dovecot and Postfix and it just won't work. Postfix is able to delived new messages to the "new" subfolder of the inbox structure. After I run Thunderbird, the new message gets moved to "cur" and it shows up in my inbox. So far so good. But now I'm trying to add Sieve. I turned on managesieve, installed Avelsieve in Squirrelmail, and did some tests. No matter what, the message stays in the inbox, it does not move to the designated folder: Postfix throws it in "new", it gets moved to "cur" after accessing my email with Thunderbird, and that's it. Detailed report: ########################### $ dovecot -n # 1.1.11: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.28-11-server x86_64 Ubuntu 9.04 log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: imap imaps managesieve ssl_disable: yes disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(managesieve): /usr/lib/dovecot/managesieve-login mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir mail_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(managesieve): /usr/lib/dovecot/managesieve mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(managesieve): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/managesieve sieve_storage(default): sieve_storage(imap): sieve_storage(managesieve): ~/sieve sieve(default): sieve(imap): sieve(managesieve): ~/.dovecot.sieve auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd ########################### Postfix is configured to deliver to Maildir: home_mailbox = Maildir/ I am testing the delivery: ######################## $ telnet localhost 25 Trying ::1...

With Cyrus and Postfix, the filters worked like a charm, no problems at all, but it had its own issues (too complicated to manage for a small site). Dovecot seems more reasonable, but I can't get Sieve to work. :-( -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/

[Dovecot] Linefeeds in mailbox names
by Timo Sirainen 03 Aug '09

03 Aug '09

Wonder if I should just disallow creating mailboxes whose name contains CR or LF characters? Wonder how many peoples' scripts/tools already would break if a user created such mailbox names.. :)

[Dovecot] v1.2.3 release candidate
by Timo Sirainen 03 Aug '09

03 Aug '09

http://dovecot.org/tmp/dovecot-1.2.3.rc.tar.gz I thought about doing v1.2.3 release immediately, but I think I'll wait about 10-24h first. So until then, testing this RC is appreciated and hopefully we'll have a good release this time. :) + Allow namespace prefix to be opened as mailbox, if a mailbox already exists in the root dir. - Maildir: dovecot-uidlist was being recreated every time a mailbox was accessed, even if nothing changed. - listescape plugin was somewhat broken - Compiling fixes for non-Linux/BSDs

[Dovecot] Performance problem with STATUS after upgrade (1.0.15 -> 1.2.2)
by Stefan Förster 03 Aug '09

03 Aug '09

Hello list, after upgrading dovecot from 1.0.15 to 1.2.2 (and carefully reading through the upgrading notes in the wiki), I got sieve, quota and fts up and running, but I'm now suffering some kind of performance problem with the STATUS command. Symptoms: Reading mail on the IMAP server itself with "mutt", no TLS/SSL, connected through loopback interface. Whenever I idle a bit and then hit any key thereafter, for example to change into another mailbox, mutt will send a number of "STATUS" commands: # T 127.0.0.1:53604 -> 127.0.0.1:143 [AP] DONE..a0070 STATUS "postfix-buch" (UIDNEXT UIDVALIDITY UNSEEN RECENT)..a0071 STATUS "postfix-users" (UIDNEXT UIDVALIDITY UNSEEN RECENT)..a0072 STATUS "Trash" (UIDNEXT UIDVALIDITY UNSEEN RECENT)..a0073 STATUS "Sent" (UIDNEXT UIDVALID ITY UNSEEN RECENT)..a0074 STATUS "mailman-users" (UIDNEXT UIDVALIDITY UNSEEN RECENT)..a0075 STATUS "mailman-developers" (UIDNEXT UIDVALIDITY UNSEEN RECENT)..a0076 STATUS "de-postfix-users" (UIDNEXT UIDVALIDITY UNSEEN RECENT)..a0077 STATUS "amavis-users" (UIDNEXT UIDVALIDITY UNSEEN RECENT)..a0078 STATUS "spam" (UIDNEXT UIDVALIDITY UNSEEN RECENT)..a0079 STATUS "localreports" (UIDNEXT UIDVALIDITY UNSEEN RECENT)..a0080 STATUS "Drafts" (UIDNEXT UIDVALIDITY UNSEEN R ECENT)..a0081 STATUS "exim-users" (UIDNEXT UIDVALIDITY UNSEEN RECENT).. # (The whole conversation is available as: http://www.incertum.net/~cite/dovecot-snoop.log) Those commands take almost one(!) second to complete. I've used strace to capture what happens and made the results available at http://www.incertum.net/~cite/imap.log. With 1.0.15, I never noticed this kind of delay, and reading mail feels really sluggish at the moment. Is there any way to improve performance?
