Hello, Thank you for this link, but this is not what I want. Dovecot is only used for imap. Currently, authentication works fine, but new fields are created in a subdirectory. Example: /var/vpopmail/domains/0/domain.com Once authenticated, I just want to be in chroot /var/vpopmail/domains/0/domain.com/user and not in /var/vpopmail/domains/domain.com/user I explained that vpopmail which manages the creation of areas and I can not influence the subdirectory. Sincerely, -- Mohamed YACOUBI

[Dovecot] ManageSieve and invalid scriptname
by Miguel Filho 28 Nov '08

28 Nov '08

Hello there, I have been using pysieved and avelsieve and it has been working great. I decided to do test with the ManageSieve patch and got this problem: Nov 27 17:21:29 cambui dovecot: MANAGESIEVE(miguel): sieve-storage: using active sieve script path: ~/.dovecot.sieve Nov 27 17:21:29 cambui dovecot: MANAGESIEVE(miguel): sieve-storage: using sieve script storage directory: ~/.sieve Nov 27 17:21:29 cambui dovecot: MANAGESIEVE(miguel): sieve-storage: relative path to sieve storage in active link: .sieve/ Nov 27 17:21:29 cambui dovecot: MANAGESIEVE(miguel): sieve-storage: Active sieve script symlink /home/admsis/miguel/.dovecot.sieve is broken: invalid scriptname (points to .sieve/phpscript). Well as you can see, a file without the .sieve is not welcome :-( I checked the RFC and there is no requirement for a .sieve file extension when considering scriptnames. http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-martin-managesieve-12#section-1.6 Is this a misplaced restriction or it really should be enforced for any reason? I hope that this can be tolerable, or I will have to rename a lot of scripts and remove all hardcoded "phpscript" strings from avelsieve :-( Regards and thanks for the great work. Miguel

[Dovecot] Sieve and global scripts
by Allan Cassaro 28 Nov '08

28 Nov '08

Hi Stephan Bosch, there's any way to make the dovecot deliver agent (with sieve) load a "global sieve script" before load the user sieve file? I want to create some rules for every one, like: "if header contais: IS SPAM, move to SPAM BOX"... I made this today with a couple of "sed + awk" and a wraper for managesieve-login... but, this is definily not the best way to do this... This is possible to do? (Even with change in the code) Regards. -- "Não deixe a faculdade atrapalhar seus estudos." http://allan.cassaro.googlepages.com

Do i need to give dovecot a > message number that was last downloaded? If the UIDLs are exactly the same, I've no idea why the client would download a duplicate. I haven't heard before that a changed IP would be an issue. Of course that would still be a client-specific issue. Sounds a bit unlikely though. Ccing back to list in case someone else has an idea..

[Dovecot] Namespaces and shared folders
by bbell2000 28 Nov '08

28 Nov '08

I had a working dovecot install before I tried to implement shared folders using namespaces. I added the following to /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf: namespace private { separator = prefix = inbox = yes } namespace public { separator = / prefix = location = maildir:/home/public/shared/Maildir } </pre> I created my shared folder using the maildirmake command that came with qmail: maildirmake -S /home/public/shared/Maildir maildirmake -s write -f online /home/public/shared/Maildir chown -R dovecot:shared /home/public/shared find /home/public/shared -type d -exec chmod 0777 {} \; find /home/public/shared -type f -exec chmod 0666 {} \; At this point, the online folder shows up as a subscribable folder in Thunderbird. I can subscribe to online and I can still access my Inbox. But I can't get to any of the folders in my Inbox (Trash, Drafts, etc.). I can access these folders if I comment out the namespaces and revert to the default behavior. There are no clues in mail.err, mail.info or mail.warn -- the only messages are the ones written when my client establishes a successful IMAP connection. What did I do wrong? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Namespaces-and-shared-folders-tp20727713p20727713.html Sent from the Dovecot mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Dovecot] UIDL question
by Wouter van der Schagt 28 Nov '08

28 Nov '08

Hi all, I'm migrating a Postfix + Dovecot 1.0 server with mboxes to Qmail + Dovecot 1.4 with Maildirs and encounter the following the problem. Using perfect-maildir.pl from: http://perfectmaildir.home-dn.net/ i can relatively succesfully convert the mbox to a Maildir. The problem, however is that clients with "leave mail on server" set to on retrieve all email a 2nd time. I understand this must be because the email client "sees" a different UIDL and downloads the message again. Looking at the 1.0 configuration, i do not see a "pop3_uidl_format" setting. So was wondering how the UIDL is generated. Is anybody aware of a conversion script that properly maintains the UIDL? Or am I misisng something else here? Sincerely, - Wouter van der Schagt

[Dovecot] Dovecot - Vpopmail subdirectories
by Yacoubi Mohamed 28 Nov '08

28 Nov '08

Hello, I have several thousand domains on a server. I'm doing now migration to Dovecot to replace courier-authlib. Some email accounts are in subdirectories that are automatically created by vpopmail. Example: / var/vpopmail/domains/0/domain.com How do I configure Dovecot? ###################################################### # 1.1.6: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.26.5-sdf103-nfsv4 i686 Gentoo Base System release 1.12.9 ext3 base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/ protocols: imap listen: *:143 ssl_disable: yes disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_greeting: Imap ready. first_valid_uid: 89 mail_location: maildir:/var/vpopmail/domains/%d/%n/.maildir auth default: user: vpopmail passdb: driver: vpopmail userdb: driver: static args: uid=89 gid=89 mail=Maildir:/var/vpopmail/domains/%/%d/% n/.maildir ###################################################### Best regards, -- Mohamed YACOUBI

In your git tree you have the signature > option set for both dspam and crm114 with both uncommented. Oh, so it's looking for the crm signature? Well, I guess the man-page should have them both commented out, maybe. > Can you provide me with more information on your crm setup? Well, it's a bit complicated, but I'll leave out the SMTP part. When a mail is delivered locally, it's passed to crm114: basically: xfilter "/usr/local/bin/mailreaver" if ( /^X-CRM114-Status: UNSURE/:h ) { to $HOME/Maildir/.UNSURE/ } if ( /^X-CRM114-Status: SPAM/:h ) { to $HOME/Maildir/.SPAM/ } and then in dovecot, I have: plugin { crm114_spam = SPAM crm114_unsure = UNSURE crm114_signature = X-CRM114-CacheID crm114_crm_binary = /usr/local/bin/mailreaver } (I compile my plugin with the option to change the pluginname) johannes

[Dovecot] Does either version 1.2 or 1.4 support UIDPLUS?
by Robert Nicholson 28 Nov '08

28 Nov '08

My ISP currently runs version 1.2 and I'm looking to make use of UIDPLUS because I want to append and then move the message I've just appended to another folder so then I need the UID in order to address the new message. My ISP says they have plans to upgrade to version 1.4 soon. Do either of these versions support UIDPLUS? ie. give me the new UID as the response to an append?

[Dovecot] expire tool question
by Jakob Curdes 27 Nov '08

27 Nov '08

Hi, I try to get expire working, with the BDB backend and mbox mailboxes. If I try to invoke the expire-tool like /usr/local/sbin/dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/expire-tool --test I get [root@m ~]# /usr/local/sbin/dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/expire-tool --test Error: read(/var/run/dovecot/dict-server) failed: Remote disconnected Hmm. I searched for hints but could not find a related discussion or problem. Here are the relavant config parts: dict { expire = db:/var/lib/dovecot/expire.db } plugin { # expire plugin expire_dict = proxy::expire expire = backup 7 spam 30 # If you have a non-default path to auth-master, set also: auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master } Any ideas? Has anybody got this working ? The file /var/lib/dovecot/expire.db doas not exit even though I restarted DC quite a while ago. Regards, Jakob
