After there has been activity on the new server, running rsync from old server can cause problems. Aki

Aki, thanks I'm not certain I understand your comment properly I currently have server 'geko' intention was to change A record to assign geko to new IP/server, assign new hostname to oldserver A record I guess I;ll still get some emails delivered to oldserver with new hostname/old ip for 24 hours or so after aA record change ? so, I was going to re run rsync 2 or 3 times over the first 24 hours or so ? are you saying NOT to rsync once A record changed ? sorry for being slow (sorry for sending not to list...)

how to enable PowerDNS/Weakforced with Fedora and sendmail
by Robert Kudyba 07 Mar '19

07 Mar '19

We have dovecot-1:2.3.3-1.fc29.x86_64 running on Fedora 29. I'd like to test wforce, from https://github.com/PowerDNS/weakforced. I see instructions at the Authentication policy support page, https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/Policy I see the Required Minimum Configuration: auth_policy_server_url = http://example.com:4001/ auth_policy_hash_nonce = localized_random_string But when I search for these directives, they're not found: grep auth_policy_server_url /etc/dovecot/conf.d/* Are these to be added to the /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-auth.conf file? Does anyone know if a good tutorial?

Sieve fileinto copies messages instead of moving them
by Michael Goth 07 Mar '19

07 Mar '19

Hi, we're running Doveocot 2.3.4.1 with Pigeonhole, from repo.webflow.org. As far as I understand the RFC for 'fileinto', the following Sieve script should move a message either into the folder "SPAM" or "MaybeSPAM": require ["fileinto"]; # rule:[SPAM] if header :contains "subject" "SPAMSPAM" { fileinto "SPAM"; } # rule:[SPAMSPAM] if header :contains "subject" "SPAM" { fileinto "MaybeSPAM"; } But when I receive a message with subject "SPAMSPAM", the message turns up in "SPAM" and "MaybeSPAM". Is this expected behaviour? Thanks! Michael -- Michael Goth .webflow GmbH Geschäftsführer: Andreas Schrei Wasserburger Straße 4 D - 83352 Altenmarkt a. d.

Thanks for 2.3.5 - it fixed a lot of stuff :) I see this Panic in my Director logs now, randomly and rarely: Mar 07 11:01:29 pop3-login: Panic: file iostream-openssl.c: line 586 (openssl_iostream_handle_error): assertion failed: (errno != 0) Mar 07 11:01:29 auth: Warning: auth client 13625 disconnected with 19 pending requests: EOF Mar 07 11:01:29 pop3-login: Fatal: master: service(pop3-login): child 13625 killed with signal 6 (core not dumped - https://dovecot.org/bugreport.html#coredumps - set /proc/sys/fs/suid_dumpable to 2) Hoping the above is enough to debug -- Tom

“Message cannot be displayed because of the way it is formatted” iOS
by James Brown 06 Mar '19

06 Mar '19

Have updated our mail server and are now running Dovecot 2.3.4. Things are mostly working OK, but occasionally I have users on latest iOS getting this message: “this message cannot be displayed because of the way it is formatted. Ask the sender to send it again using a different format or email program. multipart/alternative” The email seems to open OK on the macOS version of Mail.app. Also getting “Loading...” displayed in body section of the app with content never displayed. Most emails are fine, but just get this strange ones occasionally. Our previous mail server was much older, with older version of Dovecot, etc. This server never used to have these issues. Just wondering if anyone has any ideas or suggestions? Can’t see anything in the logs. Thanks, James.
