[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

[Dovecot] Dovecot auth-master socket as postfix table lookup source.
by Uldis Pakuls 11 Feb '08

11 Feb '08

Hi all. Intro: Timo has already done great job providing patch which allows postfix to authenticate directly against dovecot (included in latest postfix sorce code/release). Now I'm looking around for one more thing. I want to use dovecot's user db as source for postfix lookup tables. In particular: virtual_mailbox_maps Main reason is - postfix access rules and fighting against spam. This will allow to look up dovecot dovecot's user-db and check status of user. If user not exist mail is rejected at SMTP protocol level (instead of accepting mail and later getting bounce for dovecot's deliver). Rules I use looks like: smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated, permit_auth_destination, reject Of course I can write simple script which duplicates dovect's user-db information in format usable by postfix's postmap (this is way in all may mail systems works now). What I want is implement lookups directly against dovecot. Such table can be used for postfix virtual deliver too. It seems implement Dovecot authentication protocol for use in postfix table lookup mechanism is relative easy. Also there is no need to patch complete postfix source code. Postfix allow to create pugins (external dynamically loadable libraries) for such task. recent postfix source code already includes such plugins for mysql, ldap etc.. My question is - my be some one has already made such plugin or my be someone is interested to cooperate in such job. [my be Timo itsef?:))] Uldis

[Dovecot] OT: Skins for Squirrelmail - looking for a reminder
by Mike Brudenell 09 Feb '08

09 Feb '08

Greetings - On one of the mailing lists I'm on there was a recent-ish discussion about webmail clients, and someone mentioned a site selling sets of skins for SquirrelMail... the entire set was about $300. I'm trying to track down the site but seem to have deleted the message I'd carefully been keeping. I recall an off-topic discussion along these lines here recently, but can't locate anything about skins in the archives. Can anyone recall this? Or am I mis-remembering it as being here on this list? Confused, but then it is Friday... :-) Cheers, Mike B-) -- The Computing Service, University of York, Heslington, York Yo10 5DD, UK Tel:+44-1904-433811 FAX:+44-1904-433740 * Unsolicited commercial e-mail is NOT welcome at this e-mail address. *

[Dovecot] replacement for IMAP_EMPTYTRASH=Trash:7
by Rody 08 Feb '08

08 Feb '08

While running dovecot on debian etch using version 1.0.rc15-2etch3, i wonder the following: If i read the config files correctly, dovecot seems to have no equivalent of courier's IMAP_EMPTYTRASH=Trash:7 setting. Therefore, i wrote a script that dives into the user's directories and their maildirs. It looks like this: ============================================= #!/bin/bash for pad1 in $(ls /home) do if [ -e "/home/$pad1/Maildir/.Prullenbak" ] then find "/home/$pad1/Maildir/.Prullenbak/cur" -mtime +2 -type f -delete find "/home/$pad1/Maildir/.Prullenbak/new" -mtime +2 -type f -delete fi if [ -e "/home/$pad1/Maildir/.Allerlei.Spam" ] then find "/home/$pad1/Maildir/.Allerlei.Spam/cur" -mtime +2 -type f -delete find "/home/$pad1/Maildir/.Allerlei.Spam/new" -mtime +2 -type f -delete fi done ============================================ Now, can i just put a script like this in /etc/hourly or do i have to add things like stopping the dovecot deamon (i sure hope not!) in order to prevent file-corruption? Or has dovecot in the meantime got a config option that does this just like courier does? Rody

[Dovecot] location of .subscriptions
by Jochen 08 Feb '08

08 Feb '08

Hello, I just installed dovecot (1.0.10) to replace UW-IMAP. So far almost everything works. But I need shared folders (mbox format). I hope I've set up everything but when a user subscribes to one of the shared folders a file .subscriptions with perm 600 is created in the parent directory of the shared mailboxes ("namespace public" below). As I understand the docs that file should go to the user's home directory, right? What did I wrong? Thank you in advance. Here is my dovecot.conf (comments and blank lines stripped): ---- snip ---- protocols = imap imaps pop3 disable_plaintext_auth = no ssl_disable = yes mail_location = mbox:~/mbox:INBOX=/var/mail/%u:INDEX=/var/mailindexes/%u namespace private { inbox = yes } namespace public { prefix = Public/ location = mbox:/var/spool/imap:INDEX=/var/mailindexes hidden = no } mail_full_filesystem_access = yes mbox_read_locks = fcntl mbox_write_locks = fcntl protocol imap { } protocol pop3 { pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv } protocol lda { } auth default { mechanisms = plain passdb shadow { } userdb passwd { } user = root } dict { } plugin { } ---- snip ---- --
