Use of obox2 and AWS S3
by Raymond Sellars 10 Sep '16

10 Sep '16

Hi Has anyone used or is using dovecot obox and S3 storage? I see very little chatter or documentation on it. Interested in how mature it is and technical items such as high availability and region replication. I'm guessing that multiple updates to a S3 mailbox is mitigated via the standard dovecot pattern of Director pointing multiple user sessions to a single/common dovecot node. And for disaster recovery - that's out of scope of dovecot and more reliant on S3 replication? Any one running a dovecot solution within AWS in general? Interested in best practice for the storage layer. Although NFS is possible its not really optimised for elastic cloud type hosting. Thanks Raymond

sieve - find in header
by Hajo Locke 09 Sep '16

09 Sep '16

Hello list, have a problem with sieve script. I want to perform an action if an arbitrary headerline contains a defined string. I tried with regex: if header :regex [".*"] ["searchstri.*"] { fileinto "junk"; } This is not working because regex is only used in 2nd argument ["searchstri.*"] In 1st argument [".*"] no regex is used, sieve expects just plain string. Something like this would work, if "x-myheader" contains "searchstring": if header :regex ["x-myheader"] ["searchstri.*"].... How to solve this case and find a string in arbitrary/unknown headerline? Thanks, Hajo

Sure, I understand this, but it's handy in lots of cases where you need to loading from an alternate location. Not everyone has access to resource to recompile. > For every program I compile myself, I link it against my custom > OpenSSL library (always newest version; distributions usually tend > to stick with a specific version and only apply security fixes). OK, the origin of your problem becomes clearer. You can hardcode these paths into the executables by doing something like env CFLAGS='-I/my'ssl/include' \ LDFLAGS='-L/your/ssl/lib -Wl,-rpath,/my/ssl/lib' \ configure ... I use this myself (except the -Wl part since these libs are symlinked to my shared library path). I think "-R/my/ssl/lib" might also be synonymous with -Wl,... > Dovecot is the only package I know of where there are like a thousand > places to put additional libs in the Makefile.am files, but most of > them are totally ignored by configure. I don't have that problem -- I use configure to tell dovecot where to find my self-compiled openssl, and the resulting executables load from where I want. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

doveadm quota recalc returns a Segmentation fault
by Alessio Cecchi 07 Sep '16

07 Sep '16

Hi, with the latest dovecot-ee version (2.2.25.4 (5cb7c97)) if I run “doveadm quota recalc -u alessio(a)skye.xn--it-02t dovecot return a “Segmentation fault” (but the quota is update fine). Since dovecot version 2.2.24.3 (55cdc32) works fine. This is my quota backends configuration: plugin { quota = maildir:UserQuota quota2 = dict:Quota Usage::noenforcing:proxy::sqlquota } dict { sqlquota = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext } I found that if I comment the line “quota2 = dict:…” doveadm quota recalc works fine. I have two quota backends because with dict I can store everybody's current quota usage in a SQL database for fast retrieving (like quota_clone plugin but I cannot switch to it immediately). The backtrace: # gdb --args doveadm quota recalc -u alessio(a)skye.it GNU gdb (GDB) Red Hat Enterprise Linux (7.2-90.el6) Copyright (C) 2010 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

You can also affect where shared libraries are loaded using the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. Try adding LD_LIBARY_PATH=/location/of/libdir; export LD_LIBARY_PATH to your service boot scripts. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

It's fine for a temporary working around problems (like this one, so you're absolutely right :-) However, no program should require that for regular use because you never know exactly if somebody in the chain of executed code removes certain environment variables. And also the opposite way, if Dovecot runs external programs, those might not play well with an existing LD_LIBARY_PATH and incompatible SSL libraries. For every program I compile myself, I link it against my custom OpenSSL library (always newest version; distributions usually tend to stick with a specific version and only apply security fixes). For most packages (eg, Exim, Apache HTTP, BIND, INN, OpenSSH, Mutt, wget etc.) it pretty straightforward. Even if not, usually I can find a quick solution myself. Dovecot is the only package I know of where there are like a thousand places to put additional libs in the Makefile.am files, but most of them are totally ignored by configure. And even if I modify the Makefile files after configure, again most of the additional options get ignored. Never seen it that complicated. As Dovecot is my favorite IMAP daemon, there's no way I'm giving up. :-) I'm totally confident that the developers will find a good solution. And I'm happy to test every patch they come up with. Greetings, Andreas

Cannot subscribe to Public mailbox
by MI 04 Sep '16

04 Sep '16

I'm trying to set up a Public mailbox, but when I try to subscribe to it in Thunderbird, nothing happens: it doesn't appear as a folder, and when I go back to the Subscribe window, it is unchecked again. I use postfix local dlivery, which created a Maildir when a mail arrived for this mailbox: /home/others/sharedmail/Maildir/{cur,new,tmp} (sharedmail is a system user so that Postfix can deliver the mail; it doesn't have a login shell or a password) To make sure it is not a simple filesystem permissions problem, I did "chmod -R a+rwX Maildir/" This is my current config ( I tried to keep it short by leaving only what might be relevant ): # dovecot -n # 2.1.7: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 x86_64 Debian 7.9 ... mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir namespace { list = yes location = maildir:/home/others/sharedmail/Maildir prefix = Public. separator = . subscriptions = no type = public } namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox ... ... } prefix = separator = . } passdb { driver = pam } plugin { sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve } protocols = " imap" service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } } userdb { driver = passwd } Also, I'm not sure about the difference between type=public and type=shared. But anyway, I tried both with the same result.
