dovecot connections to mysql
by David Mehler 06 Mar '18

06 Mar '18

Hello, I'm running a virtual mail hosting system with MySQL as a backend for dovecot to do it's authentication against. I am getting intermediant failures when users attempt mail-related tasks such as checking their inbox or setting up an alias. The error is to many connections. Any ideas? Thanks. Dave.

LMTP delivery segfaults when user is over quota.
by Reio Remma 06 Mar '18

06 Mar '18

Hello! I'm having crashes with LMTP delivery when user is over quota on the latest CentOS 7.4 with the latest Dovecot 2.3.0.1 from Dovecot repo. I see the issue has been fixed on January 17, but it doesn't seem to have made it into 2.3.0.1 (I compared with the source from https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.0.1.tar.gz) https://github.com/dovecot/core/commit/2bf919786518d138cc07d9cc21e14ad5e07e… I also noticed a similar construct being used on line 465 (rcpt->rcpt.rcpt->path) that was causing the segfault on the above commit on line 136. struct smtp_address *rcpt_to = rcpt->rcpt.rcpt->path; Should that also use rcpt->rcpt.path; ? Thanks from the other side of the gulf! Reio

Deprecations for schema.xml and newest Solr version (7.2.x)
by TG Servers 05 Mar '18

05 Mar '18

Hi, the schema.xml example provided for dovecot in /usr/share/doc/dovecot-<verison> does not work anymore with the newest Solr Version (as I know of 7.2.x) because some field classes and filter classes are deprecated in this version. The changes (according to the Solr documentation) would have to be : In the index analyzer : <fieldType name="long" class="solr.TrieLongField" /> into <fieldType name="long" class="solr.LongPointField" /> ......... <filter class="solr.WordDelimiterFilterFactory" generateWordParts="1" generateNumberParts="1" catenateWords="1" catenateNumbers="1" catenateAll="0" splitOnCaseChange="1"/> into <filter class="solr.WordDelimiterGraphFilterFactory" generateWordParts="1" generateNumberParts="1" catenateWords="1" catenateNumbers="1" catenateAll="0" splitOnCaseChange="1"/> and because this is used in the index analyzer it has to be followed by <filter class="solr.FlattenGraphFilterFactory"/> .............. In the query analyzer : <filter class="solr.SynonymFilterFactory" synonyms="synonyms.txt" ignoreCase="true" expand="true"/> into <filter class="solr.SynonymGraphFilterFactory" synonyms="synonyms.txt" ignoreCase="true" expand="true"/> ............... <filter class="solr.WordDelimiterFilterFactory" generateWordParts="1" generateNumberParts="1" catenateWords="0" catenateNumbers="0" catenateAll="0" splitOnCaseChange="1"/> into <filter class="solr.WordDelimiterGraphFilterFactory" generateWordParts="1" generateNumberParts="1" catenateWords="0" catenateNumbers="0" catenateAll="0" splitOnCaseChange="1"/> ......... Don't know if you want to mention this somewhere in your docs. Cheers, Thomas

getmail, dovecot, virtual users
by David Mehler 05 Mar '18

05 Mar '18

Hello, I've got a dovecot setup with virtual users coming from a MySQL database. The only system user I have is the vmail owner of the email store. What i'd like to do is use the program getmail to back up my gmail account and place that in my user's virtual mail store. I'm having issues making the configuration file and where to put it. Should it go in the virtual user's home directory or somewhere else and run by which user root or the vmail user? If anyone has this working any suggestions appreciated. Thanks. Dave.

Outlook 2016 & IMAP Trouble with dovecot
by G A 05 Mar '18

05 Mar '18

Reposting since it went under another thread somehow... Hello List, I'm facing an issue with dovecot (2.2.27) IMAP and Outlook as a client. I have some users that use Outlook (2016) as a client . One of them has a desktop PC in the office and a laptop machine which I've setup some days ago . The user did some work, during the weekend, in his laptop (filling messages into IMAP folders) and to his (and mine) surprise, today in the office he saw that none of his work is reflected on the server. Messages are not where they supposed to be .Tomorrow he will bring the laptop over to check, but I have seen this problem again in the past again with outlook 2016 as a client (specifically I've had a user which during work he was deleting or renaming folders which appear fine on his copy of outlook (ost) but not on the server). Anyone has any experience with dovecot and outlook and related problems ? thanks in advance George
