[Dovecot] I need to enable percent hack in dovecot logins
by Eero Volotinen 05 Oct '05

05 Oct '05

I am using dovecot with vpopmail and qmail and problems is percent hack that works with qmail-pop3d does not work with dovecot. So login works like that: firstname.lastname%domain.ext I need that function to work with dovecot too, and I am using stable 0.99.x series of dovecot. Problem is that some Apple machines client can't use at-symbol in their login names. So, where I need to hack sources to convert % -> @ to get login working. By default percent-hack does not work with dovecot. Any help? Thanks. -- Eero

Jim Tittsler asked: > I haven't encountered that one. Does it persist? I've seen it four times now in the five hours since the upgrade. Never twice in the same mailbox, for what that's worth. I'll keep an eye on it. Paul

[Dovecot] Changing pop3_uidl_format
by Jeff Simmons 05 Oct '05

05 Oct '05

I recently set up an OpenBSD - Dovecot mail server for a client. Naturally (according to Murphy's Law) they want to use Outlook 2003, pop3s, and leave messages on the server. And just as naturally, the UIDLs don't seem to be working, and when they download mail, they get EVERY email stored on the server, not just the new ones. Other than switching them over to IMAP, I found the following in the Wiki documentation: #POP3 UIDL format to use. You can use following variables: # %v - Mailbox UIDVALIDITY # %u - Mail UID # %m - MD5 sum of the mailbox headers in hex (mbox only) # %f - filename (maildir only) #If you want UIDL compatibility with other POP3 servers, use: # UW's ipop3d : %08Xv%08Xu # Courier version 0 : %f # Courier version 1 : %u # Courier version 2 : %v-%u # Cyrus (<= 2.1.3) : %u # Cyrus (>= 2.1.4) : %v.%u #Note that Outlook 2003 seems to have problems with %v.%u format which is #Dovecot's default, so if you're building a new server it would be a good #idea to change this. %08Xu%08Xv should be pretty fail-safe. pop3_uidl_format = %v.%u So my question is, what happens if I just change pop3_uidl_format to %08Xu%08Xv and restart the server? Will it just change things over to the way I want them, or will it blow up all the existing mail already being stored there? Inquiring minds want to know. Thanks for any help you can provide. -- Jeff Simmons jsimmons(a)goblin.punk.net Simmons Consulting - Network Engineering, Administration, Security "It was on fire when I got here."

[Dovecot] using local-part delimiters in LDA delivery?
by OpenMacNews 03 Oct '05

03 Oct '05

hi all, i've exim 4.53RC2 + dovecot-cvs on OSX 10.4.2. i'm working on implementing recipient-delimiters for delivery from exim to a user's imap store using dovecot's cvs-lda. reading on the wiki (Jakob's latest comments?): " ... the part after the delimiter is passed to the lda as an additional parameter. so dovecot-lda should handle that parameter and leave the separator handling to the MTA. The MTA has to handle it anyway." it looks likes it's possible ... with appropriate changes in exim to my router: dovecot_localuser: driver = accept domains = +local_domains local_part_suffix = +* local_part_suffix_optional transport = dovecot_lda and transport: dovecot_lda: driver = pipe command = /.../deliver \ -c /.../dovecot-deliver.conf \ -d $local_part@$domain message_prefix = "" message_suffix = "" delivery_date_add envelope_to_add return_path_add log_output user = MY_MAIL_USER i'd like to be able to build delivery conditions in dovecot so that, e.g. mail to: bob(a)mydomain.com is delivered to "bob"'s default INBOX. but, mail to: bob+spam(a)mydomain.com is delivered to any specified (either a server-wide common relative path, or a user-specified) SUBFOLDER, say "bob/INBOX/.../.../spam_to_look_at" defined by a dovecot-rule invoked by the delimiter "spam" ... this is a little different than the approach Mark mentioned of delivering directly to folder_name specified by the local-part-after-delimiter ... questions: (1) until the two conf files merge, i'm guessing there needs to be some conditional logic in dovecot-deliver.conf rather than in dovecot.conf. correct? or should i be thinking SIEVE rules? (2) exactly WHAT "additional part" do i grab in dovecot? thx! richard
