moving only new mails from one server to another
by Nicolas 12 Nov '18

12 Nov '18

Hello, I think it is not really the right place to post about that, but lot of dovecot experts there ;) Basically, I have a server with dovecot 2.2.9 that has new (unread) mails (because of a bad DNS config at a migration time). Is there an easy way to move only these unread mails to a another server ? (no perms trouble here : all vmail:vmail) Though to iterate through all /var/vmail/*/*/Maildir/new and scp/rsync them. Would that work ? Thanks in advance for your time. Nicolas

This is still happening after a reboot, Fedora 28. Restarting dovecot fixes the problem.

Hi, is it, somehow, possible to distinguish between multiple simultaneous logins in MailLog plugin? For example, which login deleted which message. Is that p[lugin able to log e.g. session ID? azur

Dovecot mail-crypt plugin
by Anushka Uditha Bandara 07 Nov '18

07 Nov '18

I configured an email solution using dovecot and postfix and it is working fine. Now I am working for mail encryption. Is it enough to set below configurations on dovecot for mail encryption. Because dovecot wiki is little bit confusing to me. "mail_plugins = $mail_plugins mail_crypt mail_attribute_dict = file:%h/Maildir/dovecot-attributes plugin { mail_crypt_curve = <some curve you like> mail_crypt_save_version = 2 }" I am stuck in here. Thank you in advance, Anushka Bandara

LMTP with many aliases and replication
by Sean Greenslade 07 Nov '18

07 Nov '18

Hi, all. I'm currently in the process of rethinking / tinkering with my personal mail server. I've hit a few stumbling blocks that make me think I may be approaching this problem from the wrong angle. I have a large number of email addresses across several domains that all alias to the same inbox. In my current setup, postfix handles the aliases and dumps them all into a single "receiving" maildir, which gets processed by a custom python script to sort into one of several destination maildirs handled by dovecot. In evaluating this system, I'd like to move to using sieve for this sorting step, so (according to the docs) I need to use LMTP. This is my first stumble. Since I use so many aliases, my IMAP login username is not my email address. In fact, I have several IMAP usernames with different passwords pointing to the same maildir so that my phone can use a different password than my PC. The dovecot documentation was not very clear on how to make LMTP use a different userdb. I eventually found through some trial and error and some hints from other list threads that I could wrap a second userdb {} section with a protocol lmtp {} section, which seems to do the trick. I'd like to edit the wiki to include this helpful tidbit, but I find it odd that this isn't mentioned anywhere in the documentation for LMTP. Is it actually an intended feature? My second stumble is with the replicator plugin. I'd like to run two identical dovecot servers that replicate their mailboxes across each other. Since there are a large number of alias "accounts" that all feed into one IMAP account, the logical place to put the replication would be the IMAP account. But the way the replicator plugin seems to work, the trigger for synchronous replication on mail receipt fires on the LMTP "account" that received that particular message. Is there any way within dovecot to specify a different replication account to be triggered for sync? Like a userdb extra field or something? I'm trying to avoid needing external scripts if at all possible. I'm interested to hear people's thought / suggestions, especially if anyone has a better way of architecting this system. In case it's relevant, I'm running Arch Linux / Dovecot 2.3.3. Thanks, --Sean
