Sievescript in database
by Harald Leithner 07 Sep '18

Hi, is it possible to save sieve scripts to a mysql database? I know its possible to read them with the dict sql plugin but iirc it wasn't possible to save it with sievemanaged. thx Harald -- Harald Leithner ITronic Wiedner Hauptstraße 120/5.1, 1050 Wien, Austria Tel: +43-1-545 0 604 Mobil: +43-699-123 78 4 78 Mail: leithner(a)itronic.at | itronic.at

Auth process sometimes stop responding after upgrade

Hi all; I've upgraded a ring of dovecot directors from 2.2.15 to 2.2.36.

Virtual Maildir as subfolder
by Duncan Bellamy 07 Sep '18

07 Sep '18

I have a setup where google fetches mail from dovecot with pop3s and deletes mail downloaded, so to do this I currently forward a copy of the email to user-fetch@localhost which is the google login and it downloads from that maildir. But it means creating extra folders and I was looking at better ways of doing it. So I have an entry in my user DB file which ends with userdb_mail=maildir:/var/mail/virtual/adomain.com/user/Maildir/.Gfetch, and if I do a "doveadm auth test user(a)adomain.xn--com-9o0a it shows the correct mail location of the .Gfetch folder. But even though it has 6 messages in the folder a doveadm search and google both see zero messages. I think this is because the index file is only in the root of the maildir, is there a way to have a ‘virtual root’ inside a maildir like this? Thanks, Duncan

Global duplicate filtering via Sieve
by Hanno Stock 06 Sep '18

06 Sep '18

Hi everybody, I have the following problem: Our mail users are receiving mails from externally defined mail forwardings and lists which sometimes leads to duplicate messages. As far as I understand, a single user can use the Sieve duplicate extension for filtering out such duplicate messages. Would it be feasible to add a script with sieve_before that does this for all users? Do scripts that run from sieve_before store persistent data also on a per-user basis, i.e. in the user's home dir? Thanks for your help! Best regards Hanno

Specifying other mail_attachment_dir for namespace
by Pedro Ribeiro 04 Sep '18

04 Sep '18

Hello, I have a Dovecot setup where I need to allow users to access a snapshot of their messages (when they complain about missing messages/folders deleted by mistake). From time to time the system does a LVM snapshot of the volume holding the mailboxes and sis storage and that messages are available via a "special" namespace. The problem is the messages that references attachments in the single attachment storage cause the file in some cases (when all the references were delete), the attachment itself is missing from the current SIS. Is there any option to reference a specific SIS folder for the namespace like I do for the messages as below? > namespace arquivo { > type = private > separator = / > prefix = "@ARQUIVO/" > subscriptions = yes > list = yes > inbox = no > hidden = no > ignore_on_failure = yes > location = mdbox:/mail-snap/domains/%d/%-2.2n/%n > } TIA. -- Best regards, =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Pedro Ribeiro Politécnico de Lisboa, Serviços da Presidência Departamento de Sistemas de Informação e Comunicações Phone: +351 210 464 700 (general) / VoIP: 80100 Helpdesk: helpdesk(a)net.ipl.pt / https://www.net.ipl.pt =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Re: online conversion using replication?

That works for a one-time migration, or perhaps via a cron-job, but what I want is basically a constant one-way backup and it seems replication could do it more elegantly & efficiently. -- Daniel On 9/1/2018 11:14 PM, Aki Tuomi wrote: > You don't need to setup replication for that.

Re: dying on osx
by Mike Makuch 04 Sep '18

04 Sep '18

I found and tried this work around on the man page: https://www.unix.com/man-page/all/5/ngroups_max/ but I still get the same "Too many extra groups" error even when I start dovecot with the above program to limit the # of groups. I suspect that dovecot is adding a number of groups when it starts up. I've hacked a work around to get it working for me on my laptop: diff --git a/src/lib/restrict-access.c b/src/lib/restrict-access.c @@ -224,7 +224,12 @@ static void fix_groups_list(const struct restrict_access_settings *set, - if (setgroups(gid_count, gid_list) < 0) { + if (setgroups(gid_count > NGROUPS_MAX ? 16 : gid_count, gid_list) < 0) { if (errno == EINVAL) { i_fatal("setgroups(%s) failed: Too many extra groups", set->extra_groups == NULL ? "" : and this works. I'm not sure what the right solution is for a PR. Any suggestions?
