Hi, folks! How to notify dovecot that maildir contents is changed by third-party helper? My script performs spam cleanup, but all index/cache files (dovecot-uidlist, dovecot.index, dovecot.index.cache and dovecot.index.log) still unchanged, so, Web-frontend (IlohaMail over IMAP) displays taht mailbox contents isn't refreshed. Dovecot 1.0-alpha5 under FreeBSD 4.11. mail = maildir:/var/vmail/default/%1n/%n WBR, Ilya ------------------------------------------------- #!/bin/bash # # CleanupMailboxSpam # # Tracks mail directories of Dovecot IMAP server # and moves/removes all messages marked as spam by SpamAssassin: # # * When mailbox contains "KillSpam.<number>" subfolder, # all spam messages with score >= <number> are removed. # * When mailbox contains "Spam" subfolder, # all remaining spam messages are moved to this subfolder. # * When mailbox contains "KillSpam" subfolder, # all remaining spam messages are removed. # # TODO: update indexes and caches on altered mail folders!!! # # Only for testing: doit=echo; export doit; ... # This prints all modification commands instead of executing them. # # Written at Apr 2006 by evseev(a)sertolovo.ru # VMAIL_TOPDIR=/var/vmail FIND_DEPTH=4 # Debugging values VMAIL_TOPDIR=/var/vmail/default/e/evseev FIND_DEPTH=1 INBOX_DIRNAME=cur KILLSPAM_DIRNAME='.KillSpam' SPAM_DIRNAME='.Spam' MSGHEADLEN=30 RM="/bin/rm -f" MV="/bin/mv -f" #========= Routines ==========================================# IsSpamFile() { local msgfile="$1" score2clean="$2" local spamstatus=$(head -$MSGHEADLEN "$msgfile" | egrep '^X-Spam-Status: Yes') test -z "$spamstatus" && return 1 if [ -n "$score2clean" ]; then local spamscore=${spamstatus##*score=} spamscore=${spamscore%%.*} test "$spamscore" -lt "$score2clean" && return 1 fi return 0 } KillSpamInFolder() # $1 = kill-label folder to check { local dir2clean=$(dirname $1)/$INBOX_DIRNAME local score2clean=$(basename $1) score2clean=${score2clean##${KILLSPAM_DIRNAME}.} test "$score2clean" -ge 1 -a "$score2clean" -le 50000 > /dev/null 2>&1 || score2clean= find "$dir2clean" -type f | while read f; do IsSpamFile "$f" "$score2clean" && $doit $RM "$f" done } MoveSpamToFolder() # $1 = spam folder to consume spam { local dir2check=$(dirname $1)/$INBOX_DIRNAME find "$dir2check" -type f | while read f; do IsSpamFile "$f" && $doit $MV "$f" "${1}/$INBOX_DIRNAME" done } DoOnSubFolders() # $1 = dirmask to find, $2 = action to apply { find $VMAIL_TOPDIR/ -mindepth $FIND_DEPTH -maxdepth $FIND_DEPTH \ -type d -iname "$1" \ | while read d; do "$2" "$d" done } #========= Main ==============================================# DoOnSubFolders "${KILLSPAM_DIRNAME}?*" KillSpamInFolder DoOnSubFolders "${SPAM_DIRNAME}" MoveSpamToFolder DoOnSubFolders "${KILLSPAM_DIRNAME}" KillSpamInFolder ## EOF ##

Hi, the changelog of beta4 suggested that ACL support was added but I couldn't find any documentation for it neither in the tarball nor in the wiki. Timo, do you already have some writeups regarding the ACLs or do I have to RTFS? best regards, Michael

[Dovecot] Dovecot LDA troubles (input in flex scanner failed)
by Mark Moses 01 May '06

01 May '06

Hi all, I'm running fedora core 5 with postfix 2.2.8 (modified rpm version) and dovecot 1.0 beta7 and dovecot-lda nighly cvs snapshot from 14-04-2006 I might need to add that amavisd-new is configured as a content-filter. I have postfix running using virtual users in an mysql database and I have setup dovecot lda in postfix like the wiki says here: http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA#head-dacb9b9a1f19c3ea86bb6f8caa3d64e3ddad9ef8 When I sent an email using this setup I get the following error in my maillog: May 1 20:41:29 calimero postfix/pipe[15760]: 8337934FABB: to=< mark(a)mydomain.com>, relay=dovecot, delay=0, status=bounced (Command died with status 2: "/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver". Command output: input in flex scanner failed ) I really don't know if this is a configuration problem or a bug and how I can get more information about the error note: I haven't included config-files, but if they are needed I will provide those of course Hope someone can point me in the right direction. Sincerely, Mark

Building a newer version of Dovecot on Fedora is dead simple: ./configure --with-mysql make make install And you absolutely DO NOT want to run Dovecot with MySQL authentication using the 0.99 builds. There are many many bugs. Go get yourself the latest 1.0 beta version instead. -- Roger J.

[Dovecot] FreeBSD 6 - DirectAdmin - dovecot
by Floris van den Berg 29 Apr '06

29 Apr '06

Since version 1.0 I experience strange problems with dovecot. At the moment I have beta 7 installed. I use FreeBSD 6.0. * Pop3 works * Imap works, but only when i telnet to localhost * In all other cases I can't connect to the server. Tried with squirrelmail, uebimau and thunderbird. Squirrelmail after a long time waiting: "ERROR: Connection dropped by IMAP server." Happens too with firewall switched off. Happens too when i restart exim and dovecot. /var/log/maillog mentions something about Inactivity. When i do tail -f /var/log/maillog and try to connect using squirrel, i see hardly any imap messages fly by, except 'inactivity'. Any ideas? Floris

[Dovecot] Question - where's the mail?
by Bob Gustafson 29 Apr '06

29 Apr '06

I am running dovecot and dovecot-lda. Mail is delivered from my ISP via cron script using fetchmail. Over the last few days, there has been a selinux problem which gave permission denied problems whenever deliver would try to store mail in Maildir. I have a big blank spot in my incoming email from about Wed evening (when the latest FC5 upgrade (..) was installed to a few hours ago when I recognized that I may have a problem. Question: What does dovecot deliver do with a message that it cannot store due to permission problems?
