[Dovecot] Dovecot forward problems

Hi Folks, I setted up a mail server based on this how-to http://wanderingbarque.com/howtos/mailserver/mailserver.html All things are working thing as you can see in my server log. Off course, that I've suppressed some informations. postfix/smtpd[16483]: connect from unknown[myip] postfix/smtpd[16483]: 62C9034002: client=unknown[myip] postfix/cleanup[16777]: 62C9034002: message-id=<20070215182523.62C9034002@mysmtpserver> postfix/qmgr[16457]: 62C9034002: from=<me@domain>, size=360, nrcpt=1 (queue active) dovecot: auth(default_with_listener): master in: USER 1 user@domain service=deliver dovecot: auth(default_with_listener): ldap(user@domain): user search: base=dc=example,dc=com scope=subtree filter=(&(objectClass=VirtualMailAccount)(mail=user@domain)(accountActiv e=TRUE)(delete=FALSE)) fields=mail,homeDirectory dovecot: auth(default_with_listener): master out: USER 1 user@domain uid=202 gid=202 deliver(user@domain): msgid=<20070215182523.62C9034002@mysmtpserver>: saved mail to INBOX postfix/pipe[16785]: 62C9034002: to=<user@domain>, relay=dovecot, delay=12, status=sent (domain) postfix/qmgr[16457]: 62C9034002: removed This log is showing that a message was delivered to an user at my mailserver. But, at this time, I've tried to test forwarding features of postfix+dovecot+ldap. I've setted up this user entry (forwardActive=TRUE) in my ldap server.

[Dovecot] Is it 1.0 yet?
by Marc Perkel 15 Feb '07

15 Feb '07

OK - my last main bug was fixed a few releases ago. I know that there's no end to getting things right but there comes a point when you need to call it done. No one trusts a 1.0 to be perfect but Dovecot is already better that most 2.0 versions of other software. I vote (as if my vote counted) to call it done, declare victory, and move on to 1.01, 1.02 etc. No one is going to trus it till it gets to 1.02 so I say lets bless it and move on.

[Dovecot] 1.0.rc22 released
by Timo Sirainen 15 Feb '07

15 Feb '07

http://dovecot.org/releases/dovecot-1.0.rc22.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/dovecot-1.0.rc22.tar.gz.sig Found another bad bug in rc19 changes. Wonder why my imaptest catched the bug only in CVS HEAD but not in branch_1_0 even though both had it. Anyway, now the imaptest runs nicely for both, and I'm again optimistic that the bug count is low enough for v1.0 to be released soon :) BTW. My previous benchmarks which showed how mmap_disable=yes and fsync_disable=yes give huge performance benefits are pretty XFS-specific. I did some quick tests with ext3 and the differences were quite small with it. I'll probably do another proper run of tests later. + pop3: Commit the transaction even if client didn't QUIT so cached data gets saved. - Fixed another indexing bug in rc19 and later which caused transactions to be skipped in some situations, causing all kinds of problems. - mail_log_max_lines_per_sec was a bit broken and caused crashes with dovecot -a - BSD filesystem quota was counted wrong. Patch by Manuel Bouyer - LIST: If namespace has a prefix and inbox=no, don't list prefix.inbox if it happens to exist when listing for %.

[Dovecot] Sieve Vacation virtual support?
by Charles Marcus 15 Feb '07

15 Feb '07

Hello, I'm wanting to enable vacation messages for my users on a new dovecot server that I'm playing with, but want to know if the Dovecot LDA+Sieve vacation message function http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve will work with virtual users? For security reasons, I only want to use virtual domains/users. Thanks... -- Best regards, Charles

[Dovecot] selective logging
by T. Horsnell 15 Feb '07

15 Feb '07

>From the wiki: log_path = Use this logfile instead of syslog(). /dev/stderr can be used if you want to use stderr for logging (ONLY /dev/stderr - otherwise it is closed). (I dont understand the above references to the use of stderr) info_log_path = For informational messages, use this logfile instead of the default (What exactly is an informational message, and what is the default?) Can I selectively suppress logging like: Feb 5 11:52:15 ls1 imap(iamelel): File isn't in mbox format: /gfg0/iamelel//claudia/ligplot/NQ10/ligplot.bonds Or do I have to turn off logging entirely? Thanks, Terry.

[Dovecot] maildir and the separator for subfolder
by David Bonnafous 15 Feb '07

15 Feb '07

hi, I use dovecot 1.0rc15 with one maildir namespace. I'd like to be able to use '.' in folders and subfolders name. So, I setup the default namespace with separator =':' But, when I create some folders and then subfolders with thunderbird the filename one the server are named with some '.' no ':'... It seems that dovecot always interprets '.' as a separator for folders. Is-it a bug ? yours, -- David Bonnafous Institut de Mathématiques Université Paul Sabatier Toulouse - France

[Dovecot] deliver LDA permission problem
by Dick Middleton 15 Feb '07

15 Feb '07

Hello, I'm trying to get deliver LDA working with postfix in a virtual domain configuration. I'm using dovecot v1.0.rc10. My setup is pretty much exactly as in the wiki (only the path to deliver and auth-master socket are different). I'm having a little problem with permissions and this occurred which I think is undesirable: syslog: Feb 8 13:09:35 deliver(<email-addr>): setgid(5002) failed: Operation not permitted Feb 8 13:09:36 deliver(<email-addr>): setgid(5001) failed: Operation not permitted mail.log: Feb 8 13:09:36 Devil postfix/pipe[9622]: 5AD5C103C: to=<<email-addr>>, orig_to=<<email-addr>>, relay=dovecot, delay=0.05, delays=0.01/0/0/0.04, dsn=5.3.0, status=bounced (Command died with status 89: \"/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver\") When deliver fails because it can't connect to auth-master socket it returns an undeliverable status which causes postfix to defer delivery. I think it should do the same here. The real question is how I give deliver the permission to do the setgid? Is it enough to just add user vmail to each of the virtual user groups in /etc/group. Does deliver setuid to virtual user as well? Dick
