[Dovecot] Solaris 10 + Sun Studio 12 + dovecot-1.1.beta15 build problem

[Dovecot] ACLs - what's the state of play?
by Mike Brudenell 13 Feb '08

13 Feb '08

Greetings - Could someone help me understand what the latest situation id with regard to ACLs and sharing mailboxes, please? Currently we are using Dovecot 1.0.x but will be moving to 1.1 when it comes out of Beta (and hopefully I'll get some time before too long to try building a test setup to play with). So I'm happy to talk only about ACLs and sharing mailboxes in 1.1... We are using Maildir storage format, and separate areas for each of the Control and Index files. We are using real system users with filestore quotas. Currently each user's files and directories are owner by their own uid and gid (but we can change this if need be), and are set to disallow filestore-level access to "group" or "others" (but we can change this too if need be). We need to know (quite urgently) if the following is/will be possible with 1.1: * Can person A have some (a subset) of their folders accessible by others? If so, can this be Read-Only? can it be Read-Write? * Can person A have all of their currently existing folders accessible by others, along with any folders they create in the future? * Is there support for the IMAP ACL extension, enabling users to set and manage access rights themselves from their mail client? * If system username "abc1" has made their top-level folder "Project" accessible by system username "def2", how does def2 actually specify the folder in order to open it? I have rummaged through the archives and Wiki but mostly these still talk about the magical "dovecot-shared" and "dovecot-acl" files, and how these need to be created/maintained by the system administrator. What we're hoping for is the Holy Grail of: * a Manager wanting to give their Secretary read-write (or in some cases read-only) access to some or all of their folders; * a Project Team wanting to access a common set of mail folders; * etc Under the old UW IMAP server you would authenticate as yourself, then specify someone else's folder with something like (the memory is hazy on this now): ~abc1/Project In the Dovecot Wiki I read a lot about namespaces and so on, but can't seem to piece together in my mind what these actually *look* like to the end-user wanting to access someone else's shared mailbox. Nor what can be done by the end-users, and what has to be done by the system administrator. Can anyone offer me advice, please?

[Dovecot] Plus sign in usernames: user+domain.com?
by hoZt 12 Feb '08

12 Feb '08

I am migrating from a cpanel server that has usernames in the format "user+domain.com". On the new server I am using the format "user.domain.com" and it all works perfectly with dovecot / postfix. Is there any way that I can allow users to login either with the "." or "+" delimiter? Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

[Dovecot] merging Maildir from old machine to new machine
by Larry Vaden 12 Feb '08

12 Feb '08

Dovecot version 1.0.rc26. Situation is essentially a forklift upgrade to make more horsepower available for email. Given a new mail store using Postfix and Dovecot (Maildir), is it possible to transfer from the old mail box (running the same config) or will this generate problems with the various indices maintained by Dovecot? Kind regards and thanks/ldv Larry Vaden Internet Texoma, Inc.

[Dovecot] v1.1.beta15 released
by Timo Sirainen 11 Feb '08

11 Feb '08

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/beta/dovecot-1.1.beta15.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/beta/dovecot-1.1.beta15.tar.gz.sig It's been a while since the previous beta, so I guess it's time for a new release. I wanted this one to be called v1.1.rc1, but Squat indexes still aren't completely working. My simple tests seem to work OK, but after doing some random appends+searches+expunges with imaptest it's giving too few results when searching. I'm getting a bit tired of fixing the Squat code (although it's nearly done, finally..), so I'll most likely soon copy the current dovecot hg repository to dovecot-1.1 and start adding new features to the main dovecot repository for upcoming v1.2. The new features to be most likely implemented first are: - Mailbox list indexes - Thread indexes - Virtual mailboxes Some of the most important changes in beta15: - If dovecot master kills itself, the error message is now written to a file in base_dir as well as to log file. When Dovecot starts the next time it shows this error message to user and asks to look into error log file. I'm hoping this will reduce "why dovecot exits silently after starting it?" questions. - LDAP: Added tls_* settings for using TLS with OpenLDAP. - POP3-only users shouldn't get dovecot.index.cache files created anymore when quota plugin is used - Fixed/optimized handling pipelined commands - rawlog: added -b parameter to log packet boundaries. - auth: %a and %b were broken
