[Dovecot] Datehandling bug?
by Ed W 12 Sep '07

12 Sep '07

Hi, I am testing dovecot 1.0.3 alongside my existing courier installation and a number of my emails are heading to the top of the inbox even though they are rather old. Closer inspection shows that my mailclient (Thunderbird on Win32) is showing me some screwey dates for a number of messages. One example is an email which says: Date: 2007-08-21 11:42:43 But in TB I see the date shown as only: 03:27 ie just a time and no date OK, the date above is clearly not an RFC date, but any idea why this is showing up only under Dovecot? Is it a dovecot date handling issue? Cheers Ed W

[Dovecot] Deliver parameter problem
by Umut Arus 11 Sep '07

11 Sep '07

Hello, I'm using dovecot-1.0.5 with postfix. I have to use deliver from procmail because I have some filters. There is no document about how to using deliver parameters (-d) other than http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA . If I set -d parameters manually as a username everything is ok. I can not set users' mail quota (don't lookup) with mysql db if I haven't set -d parameter as receipt username in procmail. How can I describe user (-d) parameter's variable in procmail? Procmail configuration, :0 | /usr/local/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/deliver -f $blabla -d $blabla2 Output of the configuration, # 1.0.5: /usr/local/dovecot/etc/dovecot.conf protocols: imap imaps pop3 pop3s listen: 10.1.1.168 ssl_cert_file: /usr/local/dovecot/etc/dovecot.cert.pem ssl_key_file: /usr/local/dovecot/etc/dovecot.key.pem disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /usr/local/dovecot/var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/local/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/local/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/local/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login mail_location: maildir:%h/Maildir:INDEX=/var/no-quotas/index/%u:CONTROL=/var/no-quotas/control/%u mail_debug: yes mail_full_filesystem_access: yes mail_executable(default): /usr/local/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/local/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/local/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugins(default): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(imap): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(pop3): mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/local/dovecot/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/local/dovecot/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/local/dovecot/lib/dovecot/pop3 pop3_uidl_format(default): pop3_uidl_format(imap): pop3_uidl_format(pop3): %08Xv%08Xu namespace: type: private separator: / location: maildir:~/Maildir:INDEX=/var/no-quotas/index/%u:CONTROL=/var/no-quotas/control/%u inbox: yes namespace: type: private separator: / prefix: mail/ location: maildir:~/Maildir/.mail:INDEX=/var/no-quotas/index/%u:CONTROL=/var/no-quotas/control/%u auth default: verbose: yes debug: yes passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: sql args: /usr/local/dovecot/etc/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: prefetch socket: type: listen master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 438 plugin: quota: maildir:storage=500000:ignore=trash regards,

[Dovecot] postfix + dspam + dovecot problem
by Lars Stavholm 11 Sep '07

11 Sep '07

Hi All, I'm new to dovecot (coming from cyrus) and have a bit of a problem setting up postfix + dspam + dovecot. 1. postfix + dovecot: works like a charm. Using "mailbox_command = /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver" in postfix main.cf 2. adding dspam to the equation: unable to deliver: net_connect(/usr/var/run/dovecot/auth-master) failed: No such file or directory Using "mailbox_transport = lmtp:unix:/var/tmp/dspam.sock" in postfix main.cf (instead of the above mailbox_command), and the corresponding setting in master.cf. In /etc/dspam.conf I'm using... TrustedDeliveryAgent "/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver" And here's the full error message: Sep 11 02:10:38 nwinnie postfix/pickup[18313]: 090F1C042: uid=0 from=<root> Sep 11 02:10:38 nwinnie postfix/cleanup[7010]: 090F1C042: message-id=<20070911001038.090F1C042(a)nwinnie.telcotec.se> Sep 11 02:10:38 nwinnie postfix/qmgr[18318]: 090F1C042: from=<root(a)nwinnie.telcotec.se>, size=431, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Sep 11 02:10:38 nwinnie deliver(stava(a)nwinnie.telcotec.se): net_connect(/usr/var/run/dovecot/auth-master) failed: No such file or directory Sep 11 02:10:38 nwinnie dspam[10379]: Delivery agent returned exit code 75: /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -d stava(a)nwinnie.telcotec.se Sep 11 02:10:38 nwinnie postfix/lmtp[7018]: 090F1C042: to=<stava(a)nwinnie.telcotec.se>, orig_to=<stava>, relay=nwinnie.telcotec.se[/var/tmp/dspam.sock], delay=0.35, delays=0.32/0.01/0.01/0.01, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (host nwinnie.telcotec.se[/var/tmp/dspam.sock] said: 421 4.3.0 <stava(a)nwinnie.telcotec.se> Delivered (in reply to end of DATA command)) So, postfix hands the message to dspam, dspam does its thing, dspam tries to deliver and fails. What throws me is that the delivery works as expected in case 1) but not in case 2), despite the fact I'm using the same delivery agent, i.e. /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver. Why would dovecot go for some other authentication method in case 2)? BTW, we're using PAM on top of LDAP. Any ideas appreciated. Cheers /Lars
