[Dovecot] Running sieve filters on already delivered mails
by Axel Gembe 20 May '08

20 May '08

I want to know what the best way to run sieve filters on already delivered mail is. Problem is that I have a rather large unfiltered mailbox and filtering it by hand would be a PITA. I don't mind coding something up to do this, but I just don't think that I'm the first one with this problem. Thanks - Axel

[Dovecot] New ManageSieve releases: v0.10.2 for Dovecot 1.1.rc4 and v9.3 for Dovecot 1.0.13
by Stephan Bosch 20 May '08

20 May '08

Hello Dovecot users, Recently, I was pointed towards a problem in the managesieve SASL implementation. As it turns out there was a bug in handling mechanisms that expect more than a single client response. That is why the PLAIN mechanism works and the (obsolete) LOGIN mechanism fails (along with probably many others). This problem was present in both v9.2 and v0.10.1 for Dovecot 1.0 and 1.1 respectively. This issue is fixed in the new releases: Change Log v9.3/v0.10.2 ------------------------ * Fixed bug that caused SASL mechanisms that require more than a single client response to fail. Reported by Steffen Kaiser and occured when he tried using the (obsolete) LOGIN mechanism. * Updated installation and configuration documentation to match the information provided in the wiki Installation ------------ The full installation procedure and other relevant information regarding ManageSieve is finally available on the Dovecot wiki at: http://wiki.dovecot.org/ManageSieve New releases: 1.0: (patch) http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.0/dovecot-1.0.13-MANAGESIEVE-v9.3.diff.gz http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.0/dovecot-1.0.13-MANAGESIEVE-v9.3.diff.gz… 1.1: (package + patch) http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.1/dovecot-1.1-managesieve-0.10.2.tar.gz http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.1/dovecot-1.1-managesieve-0.10.2.tar.gz.s… http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.1/dovecot-1.1.rc4-managesieve-0.10.2.diff… http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.1/dovecot-1.1.rc4-managesieve-0.10.2.diff… (my public key (id: 3DFBB4F4) can be found at wwwkeys.pgp.net) Have fun testing the Dovecot ManageSieve service.

[Dovecot] Looking for suggestions: How to strip attachments from mails
by Patrick Nagel 20 May '08

20 May '08

Hi, I know this is not 100% on-topic, but I'll try anyway... I'm looking for a way to strip attachments from incoming mails on the server. The attachments should be stored on a file server (where users have access via SAMBA) and only a link to the file (UNC path) should remain in the mail body. This is to prevent the mail storage from filling up with a large amount of big mails where at the same time the 'payload' (attached file) is not conveniently accessible by the users. The current setup is postfix / dovecot deliver / dovecot (with sieve plugin). I'm considering piping the mails through something like mimeStrip.pl (http://freshmeat.net/projects/mimestrip.pl/) but therefore I'd probably need to bring procmail/maildrop into the game, right? Or are there other (better) ways to accomplish this?

[Dovecot] messages downloading repeatedly to mozilla/seamonkey pop3 client
by Ben Julian 20 May '08

20 May '08

Hello Dovecot List, I am a bit of a sysadmin novice and this is my first time emailing, so please let me know if I have left some critical information out. I am supporting a small office network supported primarily by linux servers. All of my users are using dovecot as a pop3 daemon on a centOS 5 box, no IMAP users. Seven users are running outlook 2003 on windows XP, two users are running thunderbird on ubuntu, two are running evolution on ubuntu, and one is running mozilla seamonkey on XP. Emails to the mozilla/seamonkey user are downloading multiple times, but not to any of the other users. A typical maillog report following this user's mail client pop3 login: Mar 3 10:37:00 servername dovecot: pop3-login: Login: user=<user>, method=PLAIN, rip=::ffff:192.168.99.13, lip=::ffff:192.168.99.4 Mar 3 10:37:00 servername dovecot: POP3(user): mbox sync: UID inserted in the middle of mailbox /var/mail/user (84873 > 84872, seq=2, idx_msgs=3) Mar 3 10:37:01 servername dovecot: POP3(user): mbox sync: UID inserted in the middle of mailbox /var/mail/user (84877 > 84872, seq=2, idx_msgs=4) Mar 3 10:37:01 servername dovecot: POP3(user): Disconnected: Logged out top=0/0, retr=1/3364, del=1/1, size=3347 Things I've tried: *adding the following lines to dovecot.conf: protocol pop3 { pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh } *deleting the user's homedir mail directory (including all dovecot index files) *restarting dovecot *changing mail clients: tried outlook express, netscape 4.8, thunderbird on user's PC *restarting the server All changes resulted in only a brief (1-2hr) cessation of the problem. I've subscribed for a month or so now and searched the archives, but if I missed a solution to this in there, I apologize. Thanks, Ben Julian

[Dovecot] Fixed a Duplicate?
by Nigel Allen 19 May '08

19 May '08

Greetings We have recently switched from mbox to Maildir so that we can implement symlinks for a large email account that is shared (partially) between some 20 or so users. The setup is dovecot-1.0.3-6.fc6, procmail-3.22-17.1, sendmail-8.13.8-2. Procmail has a single recipe in /etc/procmailrc that simply says "DEFAULT=$HOME/Maildir/". The problem is that I am seeing a lot of blank emails being created. For exaample, every time I open a folder from this shared account, I get either one or two emails being created on the spot. The are /always/ created with the current date and time stamp (i.e. now) and at the same time a tail -f of maillog shows something like this: > May 19 09:10:05 sydsrv56 dovecot: IMAP(plans): Fixed a duplicate: > dovecot-shared:2, -> 1211152205.P10039Q1.sydsrv56 The only thing that appears to change is the last modified date and time of the two files, dovecot.index.log and dovecot.index.cache. Should I be maintaining separate index files or lock files for each user in this shared account? Currently the Maildir is shared and has the g+s bit set. Any ideas where I can start looking would be appreciated. Rgds Nigel. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
