Replication for Pigeonhole ManageSieve
by Joe Nahmias 06 Apr '17

06 Apr '17

Hello, I currently have one machine running postfix SMTP server as MTA along with dovecot IMAP server for email. Although it only supports a handful of users, email service is important to us all; so I'm looking to make this a more fault-tolerant / highly-available system. To that end, I'm planning on configuring postfix to use deliver/dovecot-lda as my MDA (using procmail at the moment), spinning up another machine with postfix/dovecot and setting up master/master replication using dsync/doveadm-sync. My reading on the subject suggests that this should (given appropriate MX & SRV dns records) make traffic balanced across both nodes, and the system should be resilient if one of the nodes should fail without the need for much/any human intervention. In order to replace the functionality that procmail currently provides as MDA, I was thinking to use Sieve. Fortunately, it seems the Pigeonhole project provides almost everything I need on the server side to make this work. The one potential gap I have identified is the syncing of the sieve scripts between the two machines. Has any one dealt with this and come up with a good solution? Does dsync already handle this and I just haven't figured it out? Let me know if my question is best directed elsewhere. Thanks in advance for any help, --Joe PS - please cc me as I don't subscribe to this list.

Problem with Dovecot and BlackBerry
by Luca Bertoncello 05 Apr '17

Hi all, i've got a strange behaviour with a BlackBerry Classic Phone (BBOS 10.3.2.2876) in combination with Dovecot 2.2.13 while trying to fetch mails. Before burying myself into debugging sessions, i try to get an understanding if the following is a Client- or a Server-specific error in the behaviour: CIGA8 UID FETCH 10009:10035 (UID FLAGS) (CHANGEDSINCE NOMODSEQ) CIGA8 BAD Error in IMAP command UID FETCH: Invalid CHANGEDSINCE modseq.

Meaning of "protocol !indexer-worker"
by Angel L. Mateo 04 Apr '17

04 Apr '17

Hello, I'm configuring dovecot 2.2.28. Comparing with previous versions I have found now in 10-mail.conf the config: protocol !indexer-worker { # If folder vsize calculation requires opening more than this many mails from # disk (i.e. mail sizes aren't in cache already), return failure and finish # the calculation via indexer process. Disabled by default. This setting must # be 0 for indexer-worker processes. #mail_vsize_bg_after_count = 0 } I can see that indexer-worker is the index service in dovecot. But I don't what the '!' means in front of the service name. Any who can explain it to me? -- Angel L.

Perhaps I have not looked hard enough but is it possible to get at the current users auth userdb "home" (or $HOME) variable from inside a sieve script? Example?

Error: Virtual mailbox loops, Dovecot version 2.2.10
by dan＠redchops.com 03 Apr '17

03 Apr '17

I'm trying to follow the guide at https://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Virtual for the 'Conversation' style virtual mailbox, but with a small change. I'd like the virtual mailboxes to be 'top level', which I found while searching through this list is accomplishable by putting the dovecot-virtual file in the root of the namespace location. My issue is this works perfectly fine for the All Mail virtual mailbox, but the Threaded mailbox fails with the error above. I tried creating a RealMail namespace, but that doesn't solve the issue either. I feel like I must be overlooking something simple; I could get this setup working if the virtual mailboxes shared a namespace and were subfolders, but I don't like that setup much (I'm trying to get my companies GMail users on to our own webmail client, it's features like this that I need to replicate with dovecot or they'll never leave their POP3 setups). I've attached the output of dovecot -n, and my virtual mailboxes look like this: # cat Threaded/dovecot-virtual All inthread refs x-mailbox INBOX # cat all/dovecot-virtual RealMail RealMail/* -RealMail/Trash -RealMail/Trash/* -RealMail/Spam -RealMail/Spam/* all I'd appreciate any insight in to this issue. If I try to access the Threaded Inbox through IMAP, I get this error specifically: a select "Threaded Inbox" a NO [SERVERBUG] Virtual mailbox open failed because of mailbox All: Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. [2017-04-03 00:24:28] The relevant line being: Apr 3 00:24:28 mail dovecot: imap(dan(a)redchops.com): Error: Virtual mailbox loops: No information before or after. Thanks, -Dan

Mail list empty on my mailserver
by Philippe Forums 03 Apr '17

03 Apr '17

Hello, After changing NAS, I meet a problem when I go on my e-mail box with my webmail. Either e-mails do not appear anymore, or they appear but are "empty". When I look in the directory of the e-mails of my mailserver, these e-mails are present. I tried to rename files "dovecot.index*" and to restart dovecot but nothing can be done. To make the seesaw of a NAS towards an other one, I copied all the directory of mailserver to an external storage, and made the copy the other way on my new NAS. This directory is a mount to a NAS. Having well to look, it would seem whether it is a date problem, because the copy did not keep the real dates of e-mails and they thus find themselves dated the day of the copy. I know not at all how to get back all my e-mails in my webmail. Thank's for your help. PS : I'm french, sorry for my english. -- ##################### Philippe - Forums
