[Dovecot] Postfix/Dovecot virtual - directory structure
by Johan Folin 23 Dec '06

23 Dec '06

Hi, perhaps I should post this in a Postfix forum but I'll give it a shot: I want my accounts sorted under /home/vmail/[domain]/[username] (and I managed to get Dovecot to look for mail there with %d and %n ), but how do I tell Postfix to sort the mail? I can't figure out how to do it. The virtual_mail_base is /home/vmail/ but there I get a bunch of folders in the form [username]@[domain]. I use mysql for the virtual mailboxes if that matters. I'll be grateful for any suggestions. /Johan Folin

[Dovecot] Feature request: don't allow subscriptions to deleted mail boxes
by Erik van Oosten 23 Dec '06

23 Dec '06

Hello, Due to Thunderbird's mailbox deletion problem I was able to remove a mailbox while keeping the subscription. This was hugely annoying as Thunderbird is totally incapable of removing the subscription, even though the mailbox is long gone. It took me a while before I found a work around: I had to actually log in and remove a line from the .subscriptions file. You will probably get the same problem when you manually delete or rename a mailbox. So here is my feature request: please check for subscriptions to non-existing mail boxes and delete these when found. I am not sure what events would be appropriate for triggering the check, but I am sure there are some. Environment: - Dovecot 1.0 rc15 - SuSE Linux 10.0 - Thunderbird 1.5 Regards, Erik. PS. Thanks for Dovecot, it is the best IMAP server I have ever used. -- Erik van Oosten http://day-to-day-stuff.blogspot.com/

[Dovecot] NFS
by Timo Sirainen 23 Dec '06

23 Dec '06

I've finally managed to run Dovecot without errors in two computers with maildir and indexes stored in NFS. I added a page to wiki about this: http://wiki.dovecot.org/NFS Suggestions how to keep attribute cache enabled but to allow Dovecot to specifically request not to use a cached value (when it's important) would be welcome.

[Dovecot] Telnet Listing of IMAP mailboxes
by Lovell McIlwain 23 Dec '06

23 Dec '06

Hello all, I am trying to figure out why I am can't seem to access any of my mailboxes that I moved from my OS X machine using UW-IMAP and I followed the directions on the wiki (http://wiki.dovecot.org/MissingMailboxes) to try and figure this out. I believe based on what I saw that my client seems to be the problem, but my question is. Can anyone tell me what the difference between (\NoInferiors) and (\NoInferiors \Marked) All of my mailboxes showed up when I telnet'd to my IMAP server but I noticed some had that tag and some didn't and I'm just wondering if I should be concerned with the difference? If your not sure what I mean, here is a snipet of the command I ran and a small output: B list "" * * LIST (\NoInferiors) "/" INBOX * LIST (\NoInferiors \Marked) "/" "Junk E-mail"

[Dovecot] Dovecot killing OpenLDAP
by Gavin Henry 23 Dec '06

23 Dec '06

Hi all, For some reason, dovecot is holding a connection up, so we can't shutdown our directory server. OpenLDAP just sits there waiting for the thread to finish. Our OpenLDAP logs show (binding example and shutdown): connection_input: conn=1 deferring operation: binding daemon: shutdown requested and initiated. conn=1 fd=12 closed (slapd shutdown) slapd shutdown: waiting for 1 threads to terminate Sometimes the IMAP connection is also dropped. We are storing our users in the directory for passdb and userdb, no prefetch enabled. Running rc15 on FC6. This is crashing OpenLDAP 2.3.31 (bdb 4.2.52), as it won't shutdown. We have to do a db_recover after removing alock. Thanks. -- Kind Regards, Gavin Henry. Managing Director.

[Dovecot] NEWBIE: Package Requirements List?
by Aaron J Weber 23 Dec '06

23 Dec '06

I can't seem to find a succinct listing of the packages (and optional packages) required to compile dovecot. I see references to various RDBMS's, but nothing that says I actually _require_ one, etc. I see references to openssl, but similarly, I don't see that it's technically required. Is there a link I'm missing that indicates the pre-conditions (pre-installed/configured software) before compiling and linking dovecot? Thanks in advance! -AJ

[Dovecot] First Login (Thunderbird) Aborted in RC15?
by Timothy White 23 Dec '06

23 Dec '06

Not sure if this is anything to worry about. Just upgraded to RC15 to do some testing, and like always, I monitor the logs when I do this. I restarted the server (basically a clean install, uninstalled RC2, installed RC15, same config file), and then opened Thunderbird. (Ip's masked) Dec 15 14:35:50 mafeking dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<joeblogs>, method=plain, rip=<me>, lip=<server>, TLS Dec 15 14:35:50 mafeking dovecot: imap-login: Aborted login: rip=<me>, lip=<server>, TLS Dec 15 14:35:50 mafeking dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<joeblogs>, method=plain, rip=<me>, lip=<server>, TLS It seems ether Thunderbird tried to login twice and one failed, or it failed the first time but succeeded the second time? Doing the equivalent from Sylpheed (all IMAP, same account) produced just the following line. Dec 15 14:38:31 mafeking dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<joeblogs>, method=PLAIN, rip=<me>, lip=<server>, TLS Any ideas? Thanks Tim -- Linux Counter user #273956

[Dovecot] dovecot lda truncates messages
by Jef Driesen 23 Dec '06

23 Dec '06

I'm running dovecot 1.0.rc2 (package from ubuntu 6.10) and use the dovecot lda 'deliver' (also a package from ubuntu 6.10 with sieve filtering) to deliver messages to maildir. Everything works well, until I discovered a truncated message this week. The problematic message is a message bounced by the majordomo mailinglist software. I think the problem is related to the fact that the message body is another mail message (including the original headers and body). I attached two (scramled) versions of the message. The first one (message-normal.txt) is the file which is delivered to the maildir by the built-in postfix lda. The second one (message-truncated.txt) is delivered by the dovecot lda. Return-Path: <xxxxx-xxxxxxx(a)xxxxxxxxxxx.xx> X-Original-To: xxx(a)xxxxxxxxxxx.xxxxx Delivered-To: xxx(a)xxxxxxxxxxx.xxxxx Received: xxxx xxxxxxxxx (xxxxxxxxx [xxx.x.x.x]) xx xxxxx.xxxxxxxxxxx.xxxxx (xxxxxxx) xxxx xxxxx xx xxxxxxxxxx xxx <xxx(a)xxxxxxxxxxx.xxxxx>; xxx, xx xxx xxxx xx:xx:xx +xxxx (xxx) Delivered-To: xxxxxxxxxx(a)xxxxxxx.xx Received: xxxx xxx.xxxxxxx.xx [xxx.xxx.xxx.xx] xx xxxxxxxxx xxxx xxxx (xxxxxxxxx-x.x.x) xxx <xxx(a)xxxxxxxxxxx.xxxxx> (xxxxxx-xxxx); xxx, xx xxx xxxx xx:xx:xx +xxxx (xxx) Received: (xxxxx xxxxx xxxxxxx xxxx xxxxxxx); xx xxx xxxx xx:xx:xx -xxxx Received: xxxx xxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxx-xxx.xx ([xxx.xxx.xxx.xx]) (xxxxxxxx-xxxxxx <xxxxx-xxxxxxx(a)xxxxxxxxxxx.xx>) xx xxxxxx.xxxxxxx-xxx.xx (xxxxx-xxxx-x.xx) xxxx xxxx xxx <xxxxxxxxxx(a)xxxxxxx.xx>; xx xxx xxxx xx:xx:xx -xxxx Received: xxxx xxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxx-xxx.xx (xxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxx-xxx.xx [xxx.xxx.xxx.xx]) xx xxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxx-xxx.xx (x.xx.x/x.xx.x) xxxx xxxxx xx xxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxx <xxxxxxxxxx(a)xxxxxxx.xx>; xxx, xx xxx xxxx xx:xx:xx +xxxx Received: xxxx xxxxx.xxxxxxx-xxx.xx (xxxxx.xxxxxxx-xxx.xx [xxx.xxx.xxx.xx]) xx xxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxx-xxx.xx (xxxxxxx) xxxx xxxxx xx xxxxxxxxxxx xxx <xxxxxxxxxx(a)xxxxxxx.xx>; xxx, xx xxx xxxx xx:xx:xx +xxxx (xxx) Received: xxxx xxx.xxxxxxxxxx.xx (xxx.xxxxxxxxxx.xx [xxx.xx.xx.xx]) xx xxxxx.xxxxxxx-xxx.xx (xxxxxxx) xxxx xxxxx xx xxxxxxxxxxx xxx <xxxxxxxxxx(a)xxxxxxx.xx>; xxx, xx xxx xxxx xx:xx:xx +xxxx (xxx) Received: xxxx xxxxxxxxx xx xxx.xxxxxxxxxx.xx xxxx xxxxx (xxxx x.xx) xx xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xx xxx xxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx(a)xxxxxxxxxxx.xx; xxx, xx xxx xxxx xx:xx:xx +xxxx To: xxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx(a)xxxxxxxxxxx.xx From: xxxxx-xxxxxxx(a)xxxxxxxxxxx.xx Subject: xxxxxx xxxxxxx(a)xxxxxxxxxxx.xx: xxxxxxx xxx xxxx (>xxxxx xxxxx) Message-Id: <xxxxxxx-xxxxxx-xx(a)xxx.xxxxxxxxxx.xx> Date: Fri, 15 Dec 2006 13:31:45 +0100 >From xxx.xxxx.xxxx(a)xxxxx.xx Fri Dec 15 13:31:44 2006 Received: xxxx xxxxxxxx.xx.xx.xx ([xxx.xxx.xxx.xx]) xx xxx.xxxxxxxxxx.xx xxxx xxxxxx (xxxxx:xxxxxx-xxx:xxx) (xxxx x.xx) xx xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xx xxx xxxxxxx(a)xxxxxxxxxxx.xx; xxx, xx xxx xxxx xx:xx:xx +xxxx Received: xxxx xxxxxxx.xx.xx.xx.xx (xxxxxxx.xx.xx.xx [xxx.xxx.xxx.xx]) xx xxxxxxxx.xx.xx.xx (x.xx.x/x.xx.x) xxxx xxxxx xx xxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxx <xxxxxxx(a)xxxxxxxxxxx.xx>; xxx, xx xxx xxxx xx:xx:xx +xxxx Received: xxxx [xxx.xxx.xx.xx] ([xxx.xxx.xx.xx]) xx xxxxxxx.xx.xx.xx.xx xxxx xxx xxxxxxx xxxxxxx xxxx xxxxxxxxx xxxxxxx(x.x.xxxx.xxxx); xxx, xx xxx xxxx xx:xx:xx +xxxx Message-ID: <xxxxxxxx.xxxxxxx(a)xxxxx.xx> Date: Fri, 15 Dec 2006 13:28:50 +0100 From: xxx xxxx xxxx xxxxxx <xxx.xxxx.xxxx(a)xxxxx.xx> Reply-To: xxxxxxxxxx(a)xxxxxxx.xx User-Agent: xxxxxxxxxxx x.x.x.x (xxxxxxx/xxxxxxxx) MIME-Version: x.x To: xxx xxxx xxxx xxxxx <xxxxxxx(a)xxxxxxxxxxx.xx> Subject: xxxxxxx: [xxx: xxx xxxxxxxx xxxx] Content-Type: multipart/mixed; xxxxxxxx="------------xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" X-OriginalArrivalTime: xx xxx xxxx xx:xx:xx.xxxx (xxx) xxxxxxxx=[xxxxxxxx:xxxxxxxx] X-Greylist: xxxxxx xx xxxxxxxxxxx, xxx xxxxxxx xx xxxxxx-xxxxxxxx-x.xxxx (xxxxxxxx.xx.xx.xx [xxx.xxx.xxx.xx]); xxx, xx xxx xxxx xx:xx:xx +xxxx (xxx) X-Envelope-Recipient: <xxxxxxx(a)xxxxxxxxxxx.xx> X-Virus-Scanned-By: xxxxxxxx.xx.xx.xx xxxxx xxxxx. xxxxxx: xxxxx.
