Dovecot and Windows Live Mail 2012?
by David Mehler 14 Apr '16

14 Apr '16

Hello, I hope someone has this working, because I'm pulling my hair out at this one. I'm using well for this it's a win7 x64 machine running Windows Essentials 2012 and using the Windows Live mail component. I am trying to connect to my Dovecot server running 2.23 I believe. I keep getting the error "the imap command could not be sent to the server because of a non-network error" googling showed many with this, but no fix. In this account I'm trying to access port 143 which uses starttls. In Mail I've got the boxes for require a secure connection and authentication checked. I should note of course and with no surprise that Mail works oh just fine with the Hotmail account I've also got configured, it's only with the downloading of folders and sending of email to the dovecot server that mail has the issue. Please let me know if I can provide any additional information. Help appreciated. Thanks. Dave.

Best way to only replicate specific users
by Max 14 Apr '16

14 Apr '16

Hi, I was wondering about the best way to achieve this. Currently, the users I don't want replicated do not exist on the target system. The source tries to sync them but runs into an error. Technically, that works for me, but it doesn't seem like the right way to do it and clutters the log. Kind Regards, Max

antispam plugin, pipe backend, how to make it work?
by Johannes Rohr 13 Apr '16

13 Apr '16

Hi, my setup is a dovecot 2.0.19 IMAP server on Ubuntu Precise with the antispam plugin in version 2.0+20120225-2 and spamassassin at version 3.2.2 I have been trying and failed to get the pipe backend of the antispam plugin to work. Spamassin by itself works, a manual call of sa-learn works fine. Bayes data is stored in a mysql DB. I have the following configuration in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/90-plugin.conf plugin { #setting_name = value sieve=~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir=~/sieve antispam_pipe_program_spam_arg = --spam antispam_pipe_program_notspam_arg = --ham antispam_pipe_program = /usr/local/bin/sa-learn-pipe.sh antispam_pipe_program_args = --username=%u # % expansion done by dovecot antispam_trash = trash;Trash;Deleted Items;Deleted Messages antispam_spam = SPAM;Junk antispam_backend = pipe antispam_verbose_debug = 1 antispam_debug_target = syslog antispam_pipe_tmpdir = /tmp } I have tried the following wrapper script: #!/bin/bash # set -x LOGFILE=/tmp/sa-learn-pipe.log echo "$$-start ($*)" >> $LOGFILE #echo $* > /tmp/sendmail-parms.txt cat<&0 >> /tmp/sendmail-msg-$$.txt /usr/bin/sa-learn $* -D /tmp/sendmail-msg-$$.txt >> $LOGFILE 2>&1 && \ rm -f /tmp/sendmail-msg-$$.txt echo "$$-end" >> $LOGFILE exit 0 It somehow isn't working. I can call the wrapper script manually e.g. sudo -u vmail /usr/local/bin/sa-learn-pipe.sh --username=some(a)mail.user --ham \ < someham But it doesn't work from dovecot. It seems the script is called. but no new patterns show up in the bayes DB. Unfortunately, the plugin seems to be documented poorly. How does it call the programme it pipes to? Is it something like $programme --par1 --par2 < message ? Why can't / shouldn't I call sa-learn directly? All the instructions I found on the in internet contained a wrapper script, but none bothered to explain why you would actually need it. I would be very grateful, if someone could enlighten me on that... Cheers, Johannes

speedup doveadm
by Chris 13 Apr '16

13 Apr '16

All, I've to set ACLs in public namespace for more than 5000 folders. That takes some hours. I'm calling doveadm by a perl script. Is there any way to speedup doveadm? Is it possible to set ACLs for multiple folders or users in a single call? - Chris

Problem setting owner
by Luca Bertoncello 13 Apr '16

13 Apr '16

Hi list! I have a Dovecot 2.2.9 installed from Ubuntu-Repository. It uses LDAP to authenticate against an Active Directory controller. The authentication works, but it tries always to use the UID of the user for the mailbox... I already added: mail_uid = 1005 mail_gid = 8 in 10-mail.conf and: user_attrs = \ =user=exim, \ =uid=1005, \ =gid=8, \ =quota_rule=*:bytes=%{ldap:quotaBytes}, \ =home=/home/mailboxes/%{ldap:sAMAccountName}/Maildir, \ =mail=maildir:/home/mailboxes/%{ldap:sAMAccountName}/Maildir in the dovecot-ldap.conf.ext, but it seems to ignore them... Could someone help me? Thanks Luca Bertoncello (lucabert(a)lucabert.de)

fts-lucene with virtual folders
by Dmitry Nezhevenko 13 Apr '16

13 Apr '16

Hi, It looks like I've found something strange. It looks like dovecot updates fts-lucene index every time I'm opening virtual folder that contains FTS query: indexer-worker(dion): Warning: fts-lucene: Settings have changed, rebuilding index for mailbox dovecot-virtual is pretty simple: archive/INBOX BODY "test" first of all, I'm trying to perform FTS in archive/INBOX itself, then I'm trying to open virtual folder. both default namespace and 'archive' are private namespaces with mdbox storage. plugin { fts = lucene fts_lucene = whitespace_chars=@. fts_autoindex = no } Any suggestions? -- WBR, Dmitry

Hi, I´m using dovecot on debian jessie from the xi-rename-it repo (deb http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/ stable-auto/dovecot-2.2 main). After upgrading to 2.2.23 I´ve got the following error for example if I delete a message: *Apr 13 15:14:10 mail dovecot: dict(18884): Error: Couldn't load plugin /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/dict/libdict_ldap.so: dlopen() failed: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/dict/libdict_ldap.so: undefined symbol: ldap_search_start * But I can´t find any ldap settings in my config (doveconf -a). Are any changes that I overlook? Thanks, Michael

by Timo Sirainen 13 Apr '16

13 Apr '16

The git master branch starts tracking Dovecot v2.3 development from now on. There are soon going to be several API changes there that might break plugins. If you wish to keep tracking latest v2.2.x development instead, switch to master-2.2 branch. The nightly releases at http://dovecot.org/nightly/ will also track v2.3 tree.

Warning: Global setting won't change the setting inside an earlier filter
by Oliver Riesen-Mallmann 13 Apr '16

13 Apr '16

Hi, I'm using the Dovecot Prebuilt Binary: deb http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/ stable-auto/dovecot-2.2 main I configured multiple SSL certificates with client TLS SNI (see http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SSL/DovecotConfiguration) Since my last update I get some warnings: doveconf: Warning: /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf line 12: Global setting ssl_cert won't change the setting inside an earlier filter at /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl-langzeittest.de.conf line 4 doveconf: Warning: /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf line 13: Global setting ssl_key won't change the setting inside an earlier filter at /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl-langzeittest.de.conf line 5 doveconf: Warning: /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf line 12: Global setting ssl_cert won't change the setting inside an earlier filter at /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl-langzeittest.de.conf line 4 doveconf: Warning: /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf line 13: Global setting ssl_key won't change the setting inside an earlier filter at /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl-langzeittest.de.conf line 5 The reason is this commit: doveconf: Log a warning if a global setting is updated after it was a… …lready set inside a filter https://github.com/dovecot/core/commit/87404eae4581d7ef834f490507503e59a500… My configuration is (shorted): # dovecot -n # 2.2.devel (87404ea): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.4.devel (215349a) # OS: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 x86_64 Debian 7.10 [...] ssl_cert = </etc/letsencrypt/live/v083.violet.fastwebserver.de/fullchain.pem [...] ssl_key = </etc/letsencrypt/live/v083.violet.fastwebserver.de/privkey.pem [...] local_name imap.langzeittest.de { ssl_cert = </etc/letsencrypt/live/fahrerlager.langzeittest.de/fullchain.pem ssl_key = </etc/letsencrypt/live/fahrerlager.langzeittest.de/privkey.pem } local_name mail.langzeittest.de { ssl_cert = </etc/letsencrypt/live/fahrerlager.langzeittest.de/fullchain.pem ssl_key = </etc/letsencrypt/live/fahrerlager.langzeittest.de/privkey.pem } I understand, that the warning is correct. I configured ssl_cert and ssl_key both, globally (like a default) and in some local_name filters. I tried already to move the global configuration of ssl_cert and ssl_key in an own local_name filter. It didn't work. No login possible: dovecot: master: Dovecot v2.2.devel (87404ea) starting up for imap (core dumps disabled) dovecot: imap-login: Error: SSL: Stacked error: error:0906D06C:PEM routines:PEM_read_bio:no start line: Expecting: ANY PRIVATE KEY dovecot: imap-login: Fatal: Couldn't parse private ssl_key: Address family not supported by protocol How is the correct configuration in this scenario?
