Running sievec as user vmail
by Robert Moskowitz 07 Apr '17

07 Apr '17

My sieve problem ended up a permissions problem. I ran sievec as root and .svbin needs vmail:mail ownership. I could always just add the chown command to my process, but I wonder if there is some 'clean' way to run sievec as user vmail while logged in as root? thanks

Doubt with imap/imap-login processes in proxy server
by Angel L. Mateo 07 Apr '17

07 Apr '17

Hi, I have a question I have not cleared after reading https://wiki.dovecot.org/LoginProcess. I'm developing a proxy server (without director, because the backend server is specified by a ldap lookup). My question is: the limit of imap (or pop3) concurrently users that the proxy can handle is determined by the imap-login limit or the imap one? -- Angel L.

Please keep responses on list. Can you please run valgrind on this, as it appears to be some sort of memory corruption issue.

Spam instead of Junk folder
by Robert Moskowitz 07 Apr '17

07 Apr '17

Traditionally I have used 'Spam' as the folder name for all those emails that get tagged as, well Spam. But it seems that the standard is now 'Junk' as from 15-mailboxes.conf # Space separated list of IMAP SPECIAL-USE attributes as specified by # RFC 6154: \All \Archive \Drafts \Flagged \Junk \Sent \Trash #special_use = If I have in local.conf # 15-mailboxes.conf namespace inbox { mailbox Spam { special_use = \Junk } } This would auto make Spam, but: Would Junk (and all the others specified in 15-mailboxes.conf) still get created? What actually controls which folders get created?

Dovecot impatient with mysql?
by Robert Moskowitz 06 Apr '17

06 Apr '17

It seems dovecot is impatient with connecting with mysql, as I see in maillog entries like: Apr 6 11:48:30 z9m9z dovecot: dict: Error: mysql(localhost): Connect failed to database (postfix): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (13) - waiting for 5 seconds before retry Apr 6 11:48:35 z9m9z dovecot: dict: Error: mysql(localhost): Connect failed to database (postfix): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (13) - waiting for 25 seconds before retry I suspect it does connect eventually. This is a test system with only 1GB of memory and free reports: total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 1025484 696344 24556 21528 304584 251552 Swap: 524284 92168 432116 The production box has 2GB, so if the problem is mysql is swapping out, that will be 'fixed', if it is processor, well this is an ARMv7 duo core, as is the production box. I am considering buying the new quad core. Is there anything I can do to get dovecot more patient with mysql, or just ignore there messages? thank you

Replication for Pigeonhole ManageSieve
by Joe Nahmias 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.

The TLS encryption happens on the network > layer whereas the encryption method is used at the IMAP level. Those are authentication methods. However, Googling the heck out of the error message, it appears the OP's error message is a common problem fixed by resetting the PopProxy configuration https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/ie/en-US/40eb0164-0bcf-499a-940… https://blog.zubairalexander.com/outlook-error-0x800ccc1/ Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

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.
