[Dovecot] Intermittent "certificate cannot be verified" error
by Guy 22 Jan '09

22 Jan '09

Hi guys, Not sure where to start looking for this. I've got a few users getting intermittent "certificate cannot be verified" messages when connecting through SSL to Dovecot. Connections go through haproxy to Dovecot 1.1.8 on the back end servers. I've got verbose_ssl and auth_debug enabled. All I'm seeing on the logs for the time the users reported the error is this: Jan 21 23:30:51 mink dovecot: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=28811 Jan 21 23:30:51 mink dovecot: IMAP(user1(a)domain1.net): Disconnected in IDLE bytes=73/4235 Jan 21 23:24:23 mink dovecot: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=28811 Jan 21 23:24:23 mink dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=x.x.x.x, lip=x.x.x.x Jan 21 23:24:23 mink dovecot: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=28811 Jan 21 23:24:24 mink dovecot: IMAP(user2(a)domain1.net): Disconnected in IDLE bytes=89/920 Since it's so intermittent I'm not sure where to start. Since there are no real errors in the Dovecot logs I'm suspecting that haproxy is perhaps not routing every packet correctly leading to Dovecot not getting all the data needed for the connection. Are there any other possibilities I've missed?

[Dovecot] Courier->dovecot migration script
by Warren Baker 22 Jan '09

22 Jan '09

HI All, We have the latest Dovecot 1.1.6 running and I need to migrate some POP3 users over from Courier to Dovecot and would need to convert the courierpop3dsizelist to maintain the UIDs. I just need to confirm that the script (http://www.dovecot.org/tools/courier-dovecot-migrate.pl) only works for Dovecot v1.0 and not for v1.1? As the dovecout-uidlist file that is created (by the script) is not in the same format as dovecot-uidlist file that is created by the 1.1.6 server. Thanks, Warren

by Frank Bonnet 22 Jan '09

Hello folks An Apple user here have troubles between Dovecot and its Apple mail client that presents ALL attachements inline inside emails instead of "Attachements" the problem occurs only when using IMAP , when using POP3 attachements appears as they are supposed to do. I would like to know if other Apple users in this list has experienced and solved that problem , the machine in running MacOS 10.5 Thanks a lot. -- Cordialement Frank Bonnet ESIEE Paris

[Dovecot] docecot managesieve global filter, service name
by Wolfgang.Friebel＠desy.de 21 Jan '09

21 Jan '09

I do have two questions related to the managesieve setup in dovecot 1) I did setup a global sieve filter, that is invoked if a user has no other sieve filter. If a user installs a sieve filter and activates it (PUTSCRIPT, SETACTIVE) then the sieve filter gets compiled (.sievec) and deliver does use it. If I want to deactivate the filter (SETACTIVE "") only the symlink (to the .sieve script) is removed, the .sievec file remains intact. On the other hand the dovecot documentation reads (http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve) To stop using sieve, both the .sieve source file and the compiled .sievec file must be deleted How can I let a user switch between the globally installed sieve filter and an own filter. Activation seems to be ok, but deactivation would not result in the switch back to the global filter if I believe the docs. 2) To use the SASL authentication with managesieve the name of the service has to be given. In the managesieve RFC http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-sieve-managesieve-09 I can read (page13): The service name specified by this protocol's profile of SASL is "sieve". On the other hand I can find in managesieve-0.10.4 in client-authenticate.c #define MANAGESIEVE_SERVICE_NAME "managesieve" The name is important for the Kerberos5 auth I am doing, as I have to provide a service key for managesieve.hostname@REALM instead of sieve.hostname@REALM. Currently I have adapted my auth to the "managesieve" service name but maybe that should be changed. My Installation: dovecot 1.1.8 patched for dovecot-1.1-managesieve-0.10.4 Authentication using SASL (GSSAPI), contained in the perl Module Net::ManageSieve on CPAN. -- Wolfgang Friebel Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY Phone/Fax: +49 33762 77372/216 Platanenallee 6 Mail: Wolfgang.Friebel AT desy.de D-15738 Zeuthen Germany

Hi, I've configured a global quota rule, with low limits for testing purpose: quota_rule = *:storage=10M:messages=10 Why is the percentage value always 0? What does 'enforcing' mean in this context?
