How to migration my mails from another server ?
by Mik J 10 Apr '17

10 Apr '17

Hello, I would like to host my mails and I would like to retrieve my existing mailbox content from my ISP My ISP ====== I don't have root access on the server The server seem to use Dovecot according to the banner. My machine ========== I have root access on the server I use Dovecot 2.2.21 I use Maildir I read this page multiple times but it's not clear to me https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Migration/Dsync "Set up configuration for the IMAP server you wish to migrate from" Is it my ISP's server or my server ? In which configuration file should I do this ? The same for this option dsync_features = empty-header-workaroundwhere is it supposed to be configured ? My most important case is quite "simple": the mailboxes (there are 2 or 3) I want to migrate don't exist on my machine, so there is no such problems as merge existing mails. Will this migration use imap and retrieve the content of the mails ? Will it use port 143 or 993 ? I'll use the backup option I have another case which there are mails on both servers. So I would like to keep existing mails on my machine. I'll use the sync -1 option ? Thank you

[Bug] FTS invalid address parsing
by azurit＠pobox.sk 10 Apr '17

10 Apr '17

Hi, i found another bug in FTS while parsing quoted-printable/base64-encoded sender's name inside 'From' header (again, i was figuring out why some of messages cannot be searched). Header: From: =?UTF-8?Q?A=2CB?= <test(a)example.com> Data send to Solr by Dovecot: <field name="from">A@, B &lt;test(a)example.com&gt;</field> Header: From: =?UTF-8?Q?A_B=2CC?= <test(a)example.com> Data send to Solr by Dovecot: <field name="from">A@</field> Header: From: =?UTF-8?B?QSBCLEMK?= <test(a)example.com> Data send to Solr by Dovecot: <field name="from">A@</field> Dovecot 2.2.27. azur

[Bug] FTS double escaping
by azurit＠pobox.sk 09 Apr '17

09 Apr '17

Hi, i'm trying to resolve few problems with indexing 'From' headers using FTS/Solr. I was tcpdumping the communication between Dovecot and Jetty/Solr and noticed that 'From' headers, which includes also sender's name, are double escaped. This is what was Dovecot sending to Solr: </field><field name="from">Name Surname &lt;test(a)example.com&gt;</field></doc></add> As you can see, characters < and > were escaped to < and > which were, again, escaped to &lt; and &gt;. This is doing problems while trying to index whole e-mail address, as Solr sees it as '<test(a)example.com>'. I spend hours trying to figure out why i'm able to search in all parts of e-mail addresses but searching for full and exact e-mail address was successfull ONLY for messages which doesn't include sender's name in 'From' header. Finally, after i found this bug, this fixed all search problems: <filter class="solr.PatternReplaceFilterFactory" pattern="&lt;" replacement=""/> <filter class="solr.PatternReplaceFilterFactory" pattern="&gt;" replacement=""/> I hope that, at least, this bug, reported by me, will be fixed. Thank you. azur

sieve does not seem to be working
by Robert Moskowitz 09 Apr '17

09 Apr '17

my local.conf has: # 90-sieve.conf plugin { sieve_before = /home/sieve/globalfilter.sieve } and cat /home/sieve/globalfilter.sieve require ["fileinto","mailbox"]; if anyof ( header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" "YES", header :contains "subject" "***SPAM***" ) { fileinto :create "Spam"; } There IS a globalfilter.svbin when I tried: sendmail -i testit3(a)test.htt-consult.com < sample-spam-GTUBE-junk.txt amavis is flagging it as ***Spam*** but it stays in inbox. So I tried: sieve-test -e -l /home/vmail/test.htt-consult.com/testit3/ /home/sieve/globalfilter.sieve /home/vmail/test.htt-consult.com/testit3/cur/1491512409.M371278P6513.z9m9z.test.htt-consult.com\,S\=1823\,W\=1868\:2\, info: msgid=<GTUBE1.1010101(a)example.net>: stored mail into mailbox 'Spam'. sieve-test(root): Info: final result: success And it DID get copied to Spam, not moved. I am now seeing it in inbox and Spam. Of course ownership on the message in Spam were wrong (root:root instead of vmail:mail, but I fixed that). So two questions, probably linked: Why did sieve not work. Is the subject test case sensitive? If it is case sensitive, why did the sieve-test work? thanks

Pigeonhole Sieve Extprograms Plugin
by KT Walrus 09 Apr '17

09 Apr '17

Just discovered the Pigeonhole Sieve Extprograms plugin (https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Pigeonhole/Sieve/Plugins/Extprograms <https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Pigeonhole/Sieve/Plugins/Extprograms>)… I currently have Postfix configured to run a script to store all incoming messages into a Mysql DB and a batch job that retrieves the messages in the DB, processes them and delivers them to the recipients' Dovecot servers. Seems to me it might be better to have Postfix deliver all incoming messages directly to a single Dovecot mailbox and use this Sieve plugin to do the whole job of updating the DB, processing the message, and delivering to the recipients. Also, I have a need to implement updating the DB when the recipient reads a message for the first time (setting the \Seen flag). Would this work best to execute a script using this Sieve plugin from a IMAP Sieve script that watches for \Seen flag changes? This might be a whole lot better than the way I was thinking of doing it before. I’m basically implementing mailing lists where the senders receive a notification reply with a link to a web page where the message may be edited/deleted before it is sent to recipients (after a fixed amount of time has elapsed). This gives the sender the opportunity to change his mind before it is too late or to send to recipients immediately (by marking the message as Urgent). Also, even after the message has been sent out, I want to allow the sender to be able to delete it in the recipients mailboxes if they have not read it yet (downloaded it to their email client) or to see which recipients have read the message (and when they read/downloaded it for the first time). Both the sender and the recipients will have Dovecot mailboxes so I want to give more control over the messages for their entire lifetimes (both for senders and for recipients) than normal email does. Any thoughts? Kevin

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.18.rc1 for Dovecot v2.2.29.rc1.
by Stephan Bosch 09 Apr '17

09 Apr '17

Hello Dovecot users, This is a rather small release. It fixes one important bug in the new discard script feature. It also adds a couple of new features for IMAPSieve. Changelog v0.4.18: + imapsieve plugin: Implemented the copy_source_after rule action. When this is enabled for a mailbox rule, the specified Sieve script is executed for the message in the source mailbox during a "COPY" event. This happens only after the Sieve script that is executed for the corresponding message in the destination mailbox finishes running successfully. + imapsieve plugin: Added non-standard Sieve environment items for the source and destination mailbox. - multiscript: The execution of the discard script had an implicit "keep", rather than an implicit "discard". The release is available as follows: http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.18… http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.18… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x wiki for more information. Have fun testing this release candidate and don't hesitate to notify me when there are any problems. Regards, -- Stephan Bosch stephan(a)rename-it.nl

Updating mysql db when messages first read by IMAP user
by KT Walrus 09 Apr '17

09 Apr '17

I need to implement updating a mysql db when the \SEEN flag is set by IMAP. New message delivery is done by having Postfix store all new inbound messages in a mysql db and a batch job watching the db for new messages and delivering them to the correct Dovecot server for the recipients. The batch job leaves a log entry in the db (for each recipient) with the current timestamp and adds a header with the log id to the outgoing message that is sent to Dovecot. The log table has a column for the first read timestamp which is set to 0 initially. I plan on implementing a Sieve IMAP script that watches for changes to the \SEEN flag and sends a mailto: notify message that contains the log id (from the message header) and the current date to a mail address dedicated for keep track of \SEEN flag changes. The notify message will be delivered to this mail address where a batch job watches that mail address and updates the db for the log id in the notify message with the timestamp and the current date if the row in the log table has a first read timestamp of 0. I plan on providing a web page that the sender can use to see whether the messages they have sent have been seen by the recipients. The web page will show other info too, but the part that I need to implement next is updating the db when a sent message has been read by the recipients of the message. Is this a good way to do this? Or, is there a better way than using an IMAP Sieve script to send notify messages? Is there any other way to have a Sieve script update a mysql database? Or, is there some other mechanism in Dovecot to use instead of an IMAP Sieve script? Kevin

IMAPSieve Changed flags cause?
by MRob 09 Apr '17

09 Apr '17

RFC 6785 says I should be able to run scripts when a command changes flags on a message but I can't understand what to put in imapsieve_mailboxXXX_causes. Dovecot logs something like STORE as an invalid cause. How do I run an administrator Sieve script caused from change in flags?

LAYOUT=fs and subfolders listing
by Dovecot＠9livesdata 07 Apr '17

07 Apr '17

dovecot-2.2.28-1.el6_31.wing.x86_64 I've created this public shared namespace with namespace public2 { type = public separator = . prefix = Public2. location = maildir:/mail/public2:INDEX=/mail/%u/public:LAYOUT=fs:DIRNAME=.store subscriptions = no } and I'm using the "imap_client_workarounds = tb-extra-mailbox-sep" and filesystem structure listed at the end. The problem is that with this configuration thunderbird (and roundcubemail) shows the Public2 namespace but empty - without any folders. I've tried with another DIRNAME=StoR - same effect If I will not use DIRNAME at all(and no .stor directories) TB sees the f1 f2 folders but not the f2/s1 subfolder. Just like it would not list any subfolders for subscription. Within TB I can create subfolder say f1/mysub1 but after it's unsubscribed cannot be subscribed again(not shown in listing) Can You provide any hints? I can live without the DIRNAME= but it has to list subfolders for subscription. BTW: it works well without LAYOUT=fs - but it's kind of requirement here. /mail/public2/: drwxrwsr-x 4 nobody havemail 4096 Apr 7 15:07 f1 drwxrwsr-x 3 nobody havemail 4096 Apr 7 15:02 f2 /mail/public2/f1: -rw-r--r-- 1 root havemail 42 Apr 7 15:07 dovecot-acl -r--r--r-- 1 nobody havemail 0 Oct 14 2015 dovecot-shared -rw-rw-r-- 1 nobody havemail 0 Oct 15 2015 dovecot-uidlist drwxrwsr-x 3 nobody havemail 4096 Apr 7 15:02 s1 drwxrws--- 5 nobody havemail 4096 Apr 7 15:02 .store /mail/public2/f1/s1: -rw-r--r-- 1 root havemail 40 Oct 16 2015 dovecot-acl -r--r--r-- 1 nobody havemail 0 Oct 14 2015 dovecot-shared -rw-rw-r-- 1 nobody havemail 0 Oct 15 2015 dovecot-uidlist drwxrws--- 5 nobody havemail 4096 Apr 7 15:02 .store /mail/public2/f1/s1/.store: drwxrws--- 2 nobody havemail 4096 Oct 15 2015 cur drwxrws--- 2 nobody havemail 4096 Oct 15 2015 new drwxrws--- 2 nobody havemail 4096 Oct 15 2015 tmp /mail/public2/f1/.store: drwxrws--- 2 nobody havemail 4096 Oct 15 2015 cur drwxrws--- 2 nobody havemail 4096 Oct 15 2015 new drwxrws--- 2 nobody havemail 4096 Oct 15 2015 tmp /mail/public2/f2: -rw-r--r-- 1 root havemail 40 Oct 16 2015 dovecot-acl -r--r--r-- 1 nobody havemail 0 Oct 14 2015 dovecot-shared -rw-rw-r-- 1 nobody havemail 0 Oct 15 2015 dovecot-uidlist drwxrws--- 5 nobody havemail 4096 Apr 7 15:02 .store /mail/public2/f2/.store: drwxrws--- 2 nobody havemail 4096 Oct 15 2015 cur drwxrws--- 2 nobody havemail 4096 Oct 15 2015 new drwxrws--- 2 nobody havemail 4096 Oct 15 2015 tmp
