postlogin script - still confused
by Michael Fox 26 Dec '16

26 Dec '16

> You need to use executable = script-login -- /path/post-login.sh -a -r -g > note the double-dash. it tells getopt to stop processing arguments. > > Aki OK. Thanks. So let me make sure I have this right, since there is no syntax defined on the wiki - just an example which doesn't show the above syntax. The valid possibilities are: executable = script-login [-d] /path/script1 /path/script2 ... -or- executable = script-login [-d] -- /path/script1 -a -r -g -s In other words, I can either call multiple scripts, each with no arguments, or I can call one script with arguments. But I cannot call multiple scripts, some with arguments, some without arguments. Is that correct? If not, please show all valid syntax options. Also, regarding the exec "$@" line shown at the end of the wiki examples. If I pass arguments "-a -r -g -s" to my script, as in: executable = script-login -- /path/script1 -a -r -g -s then doesn't the exec "$@" line at the end become: exec -a -r -g -s And surely that's not right. So, could you please explain in words the purpose of the exec line at the end - what it does, why it's needed, and what to do if I'm sending arguments to my postlogin script? Thanks, Michael

Domains on different IPs
by Mark Constable 23 Dec '16

23 Dec '16

I want to supply separate Letsencrypt certificates for each virtual domain and seeing that SNI does not work I need to allocate separate IPs. Could anyone give some pointers, or keywords to search for, on... a) how to make dovecot listen for different domains on different IPs? b) how to configure separate SSL certs for each of these IPs?

The left angle bracket at the beginning of the certificate path

dovecot 2.2.27 (c0f36b0) openSUSE Tumbleweed x86_64 https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/521796-Dovecot-doveconf-Fatal-ex… Faced with an unpleasant situation, when ssl_client_ca_file options are specified path to the left angle bracket, as in options ssl_key ssl_cert ssl_ca path is so. This doveconf shows no syntax error, and the arrow moves to managesieve which there generally is not involved in any side. dovecot: doveconf: Fatal: execvp(/usr/lib/dovecot/managesieve) failed: Argument list too long dovecot: config: Error: managesieve-login: dump-capability process returned 89 I consider this a bug, and that it should not be. And explain why you need left angle brackets in the options ssl_key ssl_cert ssl_ca?

doveadm acl set negative rights not supported?
by Peter Benko 21 Dec '16

21 Dec '16

Hi all, I'm trying to set an ACL with negative rights. I have no problems setting it with standard IMAP commands, but I'm unable to do it with the doveadm acl command. I tried: sudo -u vmail doveadm acl set -u "user@domain" Spam user="-user@domain" lookup (notice the "-" before the username) Unfortunately, this adds a (positive) ACL for the user named "-user@domain" instead of adding a negative one for the user "user@domain". Am I messing up something or is negative ACL support missing from doveadm? I have not seen anything in the docs about this... Regards, Peter

unexpected behaviour of search queries with mixed AND and OR
by Juergen Raschke 20 Dec '16

20 Dec '16

Hello, I found out an unexpected behaviour of search queries with mixed "AND" and "OR". With search query "$ condA OR condB condC $" I get an error: Fatal: Use parenthesis when mixing ANDs and ORs if I switch left and right OR-part and use the query "$ condB condC OR condA $" I get a result, but it is not the expected result of the query "$ \( condB condC $ OR condA \)" I get the result of the query "$ condB OR condC OR condA $" which is more then suprising. The query "$ condB condC OR condA $" should either throw an error like "$ condA OR condB condC $" or deliever the result of "$ \( condB condC $ OR condA \)" Example: doveadm -f flow fetch -u USER guid $ savedbefore 21d OR seen savedbefore 5d $ | wc -l Fatal: Use parenthesis when mixing ANDs and ORs 0 doveadm -f flow fetch -u USER guid $ seen savedbefore 5d OR savedbefore 21d $ | wc -l 63690 doveadm -f flow fetch -u USER guid $ seen OR savedbefore 5d OR savedbefore 21d $ | wc -l 63690 doveadm -f flow fetch -u USER guid $ \( seen savedbefore 5d $ OR savedbefore 21d \) |wc -l 63247 doveadm -f flow fetch -u USER guid $ savedbefore 21d OR \( seen savedbefore 5d $ \) |wc -l 63247 doveconf -n # 2.2.24 (a82c823): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.4.9 (357ac0a0e68b+) # OS: Linux 3.16.0-0.bpo.4-amd64 x86_64 Debian 7.9 Mit freundlichen Gruessen, Juergen Raschke -- Mittwald CM Service GmbH & Co.

Upgrade from version 1 to 2

19 Dec '16

Hi All I am upgrading from dovecot-1.2.17 to dovecot2-2.2.27_4. I configured version 2 from scratch. I have email in the maildir format. Would it be ok in theory if I simply copy over the email files from the version 1 server to the version 2 server or are there any hidden dangers here? Any problems with indexing? Thanks for any advice

Renumbering UID on messages
by Ricardo Branco 19 Dec '16

19 Dec '16

I am having a problem with Horde due to large variations in email UID for a few users. At one time they were receiving thousands of emails a day, they have deleted all these messages but because they still have early emails in the mailbox the UID range from start to now is massive. We use Horde webmail and it creates an internal array based on range of messages but due to large UID range it eats though the ram. If I use dsync on a mailbox will the UIDs be renumbered? -- The information contained in or attached to this email is intended only for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed.
