Moving from CentOS to GF RPMs
by Roger Klorese 07 Jun '17

Does anyone have fool-proof documentation for this fool on how to configure repos and what operations to perform to move from the distro RPMs to the GF ones without breaking stuff?

Multiuser attachment storage (mail_attachment_dir)
by megaone＠yandex.ru 06 Jun '17

06 Jun '17

Was trying to set up attachment storage, but folders are receiving permission only for current user, so if another user is receiving a mail with same attachment he is getting permission denied error on reading hash file. Is it possible to setup global attachment storage to work with all users, at least in domain? mail_access_groups won't help, as folders are given 0 group permission. Umask and setfacl won't help either.

Two domains - same user names filter
by Sandbox 06 Jun '17

06 Jun '17

Hi, I have two LDAP domains, which has some equal users, eg: abc(a)domain1.com abc(a)domain2.com I sat up this config: domain1 users maildirs are stored in /home/vmail/username domain2 users maildirs are stored in /home/vmail/domain2/username This works fine except one thing: i cant set up the ldap query to choose the correct maildir if the user names are equal. Is it possible to use a user_filter which will choose the correct maildir and user/domain from the email address? My current ldap.conf for domain1: hosts = ldap.domain1.com base = ou=People,dc=domain1,dc=com ldap_version = 3 user_attrs = uid=user user_filter = (uid=%n) pass_attrs = uid=user,userPassword=password pass_filter = (uid=%n) default_pass_scheme = MD5 and for domain2: hosts = ldap.domain2.com base = ou=People,dc=domain2,dc=com ldap_version = 3 user_attrs = \ =mail=maildir:/home/vmail/%{ldap:departmentNumber)/%n/Maildir user_filter = (uid=%n) pass_attrs = uid=%n,userPassword=password pass_filter = (uid=%n) default_pass_scheme = MD5 Thanks, Robert

vnd.dovecot.pipe in sieve: what user....

I have a site-wide bayes database, that currently gets populated by scripts running as a user that is also the user that Exim uses to call spamd. When a script is running from the vnd.dovecot.pipe call, what user is it running as?

Better back up what you have before trying anything. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

corrupted indexes rebuilding over and over
by micah 05 Jun '17

05 Jun '17

Hi, On saturday one of our dovecot machines had an OOPS, and we had to powercycle it. When it came up, it did a filesystem fsck (ext4) and fixed a couple things, but nothing in lost+found. Now, about 50 users have a problem where their indexes are corrupted. Dovecot tries to fix them, but for some reason it is failing. The users are seeing their mails duplicated and they cannot delete mails. I can see in the logs dovecot detecting this and trying to rebuild operations during delivery and imap login, but its repeating over and over and over. For one user, I've seen more than 4k lines in the logs about this. If i try to do doveadm force-resync -u username INBOX I get this: doveadm(nuffsaid): Warning: mdbox /n/nuffsaid/mdbox/storage: Inconsistency in map index (3494,32332 != 3494,383536) doveadm(nuffsaid): Warning: fscking index file /srv/dovecot_indexes/n/nuffsaid/storage/dovecot.map.index doveadm(nuffsaid): Warning: mdbox /n/nuffsaid/mdbox/storage: rebuilding indexes doveadm(nuffsaid): Warning: fscking index file /srv/dovecot_indexes/n/nuffsaid/storage/dovecot.map.index doveadm(nuffsaid): Warning: mdbox /n/nuffsaid/mdbox/storage: Inconsistency in map index (3494,32332 != 3494,384024) doveadm(nuffsaid): Warning: fscking index file /srv/dovecot_indexes/n/nuffsaid/storage/dovecot.map.index but then if i do it again, I get the same thing, over and over and over (the numbers change a little). This is dovecot 2.2.27 with mdbox format.... what can I do to fix this? Its driving users mad, and they keep going over quota as their space fills. thanks! micah
