[Dovecot] v1.2.beta4 released
by Timo Sirainen 26 Mar '09

26 Mar '09

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/beta/dovecot-1.2.beta4.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/beta/dovecot-1.2.beta4.tar.gz.sig This release fixes a memory corruption bug related to MODSEQ handling in earlier v1.2 releases. Memory corruption means that it's a security bug and possibly exploitable. MODSEQ code is new in v1.2, so v1.1 and older releases are not affected. Other than that, there is an ESORT bugfix and other fixes that were added to v1.1 branch too.

[Dovecot] Missing TMP folder - Dovecot 1.2 Beta3
by Matt Rude 26 Mar '09

26 Mar '09

Recently after upgrading to 1.2 Beta3 from 1.1.13, I started to defer mail. After looking into it deeper, it looks like Dovecot/sieve now asks for a tmp folder in the imap (maildir) folder. Once I added the tmp folder as the logs indicants, the mail was processed normally. I have split my Inbox and imap store to different folder. Looking at what it's trying to do, it looks to me that dovecot/sieve expect the imap directory to be the Inbox. Is this a bug, or intended behaver? # Log output, when requeueing the message in postfix, with mail_debug on ######################################################################### Mar 24 12:02:50 samantha postfix/qmgr[6855]: EB4141237BD: from=<colleen(a)example.com>, size=493284, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Mar 24 12:02:50 samantha dovecot: deliver(jill(a)example.com): Loading modules from directory: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lda Mar 24 12:02:50 samantha dovecot: deliver(jill(a)example.com): Module loaded: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lda/lib10_quota_plugin.so Mar 24 12:02:50 samantha dovecot: deliver(jill(a)example.com): Module loaded: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lda/lib20_expire_plugin.so Mar 24 12:02:50 samantha dovecot: deliver(jill(a)example.com): Module loaded: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lda/lib90_cmusieve_plugin.so Mar 24 12:02:50 samantha dovecot: deliver(jill(a)example.com): auth input: maildir=example.com/jill@example.com/ Mar 24 12:02:50 samantha dovecot: deliver(jill(a)example.com): auth input: uid=1000 Mar 24 12:02:50 samantha dovecot: deliver(jill(a)example.com): auth input: gid=1000 Mar 24 12:02:50 samantha dovecot: deliver(jill(a)example.com): auth input: quota_rule=*:storage=524288 Mar 24 12:02:50 samantha dovecot: deliver(jill(a)example.com): Quota root: name=User quota backend=maildir args= Mar 24 12:02:50 samantha dovecot: deliver(jill(a)example.com): Quota rule: root=User quota mailbox=* bytes=536870912 messages=0 Mar 24 12:02:50 samantha dovecot: deliver(jill(a)example.com): Quota rule: root=User quota mailbox=Trash bytes=53687091 (10%) messages=0 Mar 24 12:02:50 samantha dovecot: deliver(jill(a)example.com): Quota rule: root=User quota mailbox=Junk bytes=107374182 (20%) messages=0 Mar 24 12:02:50 samantha dovecot: deliver(jill(a)example.com): maildir: data=/var/spool/virtualmailboxes/example.com/jill@example.com/imap/:INBOX=/… Mar 24 12:02:50 samantha dovecot: deliver(jill(a)example.com): maildir++: root=/var/spool/virtualmailboxes/example.com/jill@example.com/imap, index=/var/spool/virtualmailboxes/Indexes/example.com/jill@example.com, control=, inbox=/var/spool/virtualmailboxes/example.com/jill@example.com Mar 24 12:02:50 samantha dovecot: deliver(jill(a)example.com): cmusieve: /var/spool/virtualmailboxes/example.com/jill(a)example.com/dovecot.sieve doesn't exist Mar 24 12:02:50 samantha dovecot: deliver(jill(a)example.com): cmusieve: Using sieve path: /var/spool/sieve/dovecot.sieve Mar 24 12:02:50 samantha dovecot: deliver(jill(a)example.com): cmusieve: Executing script /var/spool/sieve/dovecot.sievec Mar 24 12:02:50 samantha dovecot: deliver(jill(a)example.com): Namespace : Using permissions from /var/spool/virtualmailboxes/example.com/jill(a)example.com/imap: mode=0700 gid=-1 ****** Mar 24 12:02:50 samantha dovecot: deliver(jill(a)example.com): creat(/var/spool/virtualmailboxes/example.com/jill@example.com/imap/tmp/tem… failed: No such file or directory ****** Mar 24 12:02:50 samantha dovecot: deliver(jill(a)example.com): copy: i_stream_read() failed: No such file or directory Mar 24 12:02:50 samantha dovecot: deliver(jill(a)example.com): msgid=<85866319ca18bf9cd994e34fe806c4f5.squirrel(a)mail.mattrude.com>: save failed to INBOX: Internal error occurred.

[Dovecot] deliver command line options "visible" in sieve script
by Andrzej Adam Filip 25 Mar '09

25 Mar '09

I use dovecot mailbox as destination of fetches from a few POP mailboxes. I would like to pass name of "source mailbox" to sieve script via deliver's command line option(s). As I understand I should use -a "mailbox@domain". How it would be accessible in sieve script? -- [pl>en: Andrew] Andrzej Adam Filip : anfi(a)onet.eu It is always the best policy to tell the truth, unless, of course, you are an exceptionally good liar. -- Jerome K.

sqlite 3.6.11 doesn´t update from portmanager -u -l, conflicts with apache 2.2.11_3 and dovecot-1.1.11 on FreeBSD 7.1 I unselect into make config window the option to apache and dovecot and make deinstall reinstall, until sqlite fixed the dependence. am I OK?

[Dovecot] Dbox Upgrade Problem With MAILBOXDIR
by Alan Swanson 25 Mar '09

25 Mar '09

Hi. Trying to upgrade from Dovecot 1.1.11 to 1.1.13 but having a problem with imap process segfaulting. Backtrace is below. I presume it's related to these MAILBOXDIR changes but the only documentation is the single line in the news for changing to ":MAILBOXDIR=mailboxes" when using dbox. Current configuration is "mail_location = dbox:~/Mail" so what exactly should be changed here?

[Dovecot] selection correct auth with multiple auth methods
by jm 25 Mar '09

25 Mar '09

How do you control which socket or authentication process dovecot's pop3 daemon chooses to use? I've got a user database with two flags one to allow pop3 access and the other to allow the use of auth smtp. There are two authentication instances configed, thus, auth default { .... passdb sql { args = /etc/dovecot-sql-postfix.conf } .... socket listen { master { path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode = 0660 user = group = } } auth postfix { ..... passdb sql { args = /etc/dovecot-sql-postfix.conf } .... socket listen { client { path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode = 0660 user = postfix group = postfix } } } From the logs and testing pop3 is using the postfix authentication instance and not the default as expected. Does anyone out there know how control dovecot's pops daemon authentication choice? This infomation seems to be lacking in the documentation I can find. Jeff.
