Dovecot path separator clarification
by Davide Marchi 15 Dec '17

15 Dec '17

Hi Friends, On Debian Jessie and Dovecot 1:2.2.x using the default separator "/" (simply leave commented 10-mail.conf -> "#separator =") I've create for a vuser (from client) a subfolder Scuola/prova on server side, Dovecot create: ../Maildir/.Scuola.prova Here my question: why not ../Maildir/Scuola/prova ? Where I'm wrong? Many thanks! Davide

Why not make: contains "X-Spam-Status" "YES" a single string: contains "X-Spam-Status: YES" that would be more precise and avoid this issue.

Well, I've read the dsync documentation, but this warning has me a little worried: "Make sure destination is exactly as source, deleting/reverting any changes in destination if necessary" So I followed the Imapsync way, and all works fine. I seem to have understood thatImapsync works as a traditional client,for this reason also much easier to use and with less mistakes risk. And anyway a software done very well ;-) x9p wrote:> I do not believe imapsync has license issues. Its written in perl and its > hosted on github.

sieve filter move wrong email to Junk folder
by Gao 15 Dec '17

15 Dec '17

I use a sieve filter to move spam email to user's Junk folder: # cat spam_to_junk.sieve require "fileinto"; if exists "X-Spam-Status" { if header :contains "X-Spam-Status" "YES" { fileinto "Junk"; stop; } else { } } if header :contains "subject" ["SPAM?"] { fileinto "Junk"; stop; } Most time this filter works fine but occasionally it move non-spam in to Junk folder. Here is an example, this email is from dovecot mailling list and it end up in my Junk folder. Mailllog and header here. Would someone help me to figure out what went wrong here? Thanks.

doveadm log reopen not works with 2.2.33
by Alessio Cecchi 14 Dec '17

14 Dec '17

Hi, after the upgrade from dovecot 2.2.32 to 2.2.33 we notice that the /var/log/director/director.log was empty and the log are write in the logrotate file es. /var/log/director/director.log-20171201. Log path is dovecot is: log_path = /var/log/director/director.log Logrotate configuration is: /var/log/director/director.log { daily rotate 31 missingok notifempty compress delaycompress sharedscripts postrotate doveadm -i director log reopen endscript } and worked fine until the last dovecot upgrade. Now the only way to "reopen" the log file is doveadm reload. Is this a know bug? Thanks -- Alessio Cecchi Postmaster @ http://www.qboxmail.it https://www.linkedin.com/in/alessice

Just to be clear, if at any point your VPS has access to the plaintext mail (or keys that decrypt mail), then the VPS provider could access your decrypted mail. To make it unfeasible for your VPS to read your mail, it has to arrive at your VPS pre-encrypted. I can envision a system where you import encrypted mail into your mail store, then use client IMAP access to be decrypted locally by your mail reader. However, metadata is still accessible by your VPS provider. If your VPS is the MTA that directly handles SMTP from your correspondees sending you unencrypted messages, you can't lock out a sufficiently skilled platform admin.
