Dovecot proxy and password scheme updating
by efs efefsfse 28 Aug '15

28 Aug '15

Hello, I run a dovecot proxy (which is doing authentification itself) and a dovecot backend on separate boxes. I want to change the actual password scheme. Since postlogin scripting is not supported by proxies and %w variable is not forwaded to dovecot backend is there any way that I can update the password scheme with my current setup ? Thanks in advance.

Allow delivery to existing accounts only with LDAP and static
by Miloslav Hůla 28 Aug '15

28 Aug '15

Hi, we are using LDAP binding as a passdb, and static with allow_all_users=yes as an userdb. Works fine, but problem is, Maildirs are created for non-existent accounts too. We would like to prevent it. The LDAP binding does not supporta user lookups. Is the correct way to use checkpassword as a passdb before LDAP, check for account existency here and: result_success=continue result_failure=return-fail ? Thank you, regards, Miloslav

Merging maildirs
by Petter Gunnerud 28 Aug '15

28 Aug '15

Hi List How do I merge files from one maildir into another maildir? Long version: I've been using dovecot/postfix for a 12 user environment for several years, and today was the first time I ran into an issue I could not solve from reading the documentation. The server is gentoo running on esxi. A few times a year I've made a snapshot of the server and copied the files to my home esxi server as a full system backup. 5 days ago the internet connection at the office broke, and I decided to power on the last copy of the server at my home and change public dns so that users could access their new mails via webmail from this spare server. (I didn't allow imap through firewall.) Now the network at the office is back. DNS is updated so that mails are delivered to the office server again. But all the mails sent / received during those 5 days is only at my house. How can I merge those into the office server?I'd like to do this as a server administrator. I do not want to have each user forward the mails to them self from the temporarily webmail. I tried to just copy the mail files on my own account - like I did once when I used courier-imap, but that did not work with dovecot. I hope someone has an idea of how to solve this.

mailbox deletion is not replicated correctly
by Dennis Kuhn 27 Aug '15

27 Aug '15

i can't delete several folders at once. I have a folder structure like folder1/folder2/folder3 (we use slash as hierarchy separator). When i delete folder1 server1 executes the command correctly Apr 16 13:44:28 server1 dovecot: imap(d.kuhn(a)heinlein-support.de): Mailbox deleted: INBOX/Trash/folder1/folder2/folder3 Apr 16 13:44:28 server1 dovecot: imap(d.kuhn(a)heinlein-support.de): Mailbox deleted: INBOX/Trash/folder1/folder2 Apr 16 13:44:28 server1 dovecot: imap(d.kuhn(a)heinlein-support.de): Mailbox deleted: INBOX/Trash/folder1 but the replica server2 reverses the order: Apr 16 13:44:29 server2 dovecot: dsync-server(d.kuhn(a)heinlein-support.de): Mailbox deleted: INBOX/Trash/folder1 Apr 16 13:44:29 server2 dovecot: dsync-server(d.kuhn(a)heinlein-support.de): Mailbox deleted: INBOX/Trash/folder1/folder2 Apr 16 13:44:29 server2 dovecot: dsync-server(d.kuhn(a)heinlein-support.de): Mailbox deleted: INBOX/Trash/folder1/folder2/folder3 This creates the folder INBOX/Trash/folder1/folder2 on server2 again which replicates back to server1.

mail_log proposal: recipient
by Peter Chiochetti 26 Aug '15

26 Aug '15

As Timo seems to be on a committing spree; I'd like to propose that in the mail_log_fields the recipient would be available. Like probably many dovecot users, my MUAs save to Sent; so when grepping the log to learn etc. that would just be useful Kind regards -- peter

Duplicate folder names
by Paulo Matos 26 Aug '15

26 Aug '15

Hi, I have setup message filtering and for example, I might move a message which a given sender to folder special/. This folder is created and shows up twice in INBOX/special/ and special/. They are however exactly the same folder. If I subscribe to one I am automatically subscribed to the other and viceversa. Not too happy with this configuration. I have a feeling this is related to namespaces but I am not sure in which way to configure things in order to have only INBOX/special but not special/. How can I set this up. My current configuration is: $ dovecot -n # 2.2.18: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 4.1.0-x86_64-linode59 x86_64 Fedora release 22 (Twenty Two) ext4 auth_debug = yes auth_mechanisms = plain login digest-md5 cram-md5 auth_verbose = yes auth_verbose_passwords = yes default_internal_user = root imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail tb-extra-mailbox-sep mail_debug = yes mail_location = maildir:/home/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir maildir_very_dirty_syncs = yes mbox_write_locks = fcntl namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = INBOX. separator = . type = private } namespace inbox { location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } postmaster_address = pmatos protocols = imap quota_full_tempfail = yes service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0666 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-master { mode = 0600 user = vmail } user = $default_internal_user } ssl = required ssl_cert = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem userdb { args = uid=5000 gid=5000 home=/home/vmail/%d/%n allow_all_users=yes driver = static } protocol lda { auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master deliver_log_format = msgid=%m: %$ log_path = /home/vmail/dovecot-deliver.log } protocol imap { mail_max_userip_connections = 100 } Regards, Paulo Matos

Shared Mailboxes Not Visible

OK, gurus, I've spent the last 2 days crawling through all of the posts and web postings regarding shared folders, and I simply cannot get it to work. I'm sure that there is something simple that I've overlooked, but cannot for the life of me see it :) Here's my current config: # 2.2.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.16.0-46-generic x86_64 Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS xfs auth_mechanisms = plain login debug_log_path = /var/log/debug.log listen = * mail_gid = mail mail_location = mdbox:/mail/data/private/%n:INDEX=/mail/index/private/%n mail_plugins = acl notify mail_log stats mail_privileged_group = mail namespace { list = children location = mdbox:/mail/data/shared/%%n:INDEXPVT=/mail/index/private/%n/shared_indices/%%n prefix = Shared/%%n/ separator = / subscriptions = no type = shared } namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = separator = / type = private } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext driver = ldap } plugin { acl = vfile acl_shared_dict = file:/mail/dict/shared-mailboxes autocreate = Trash autocreate2 = Spam autocreate3 = Drafts autocreate4 = Junk autosubscribe = Trash autosubscribe2 = Spam autosubscribe3 = Drafts autosubscribe4 = Junk mail_log_events = delete undelete expunge copy mailbox_delete mailbox_rename flag_change append mail_log_fields = uid box msgid size subject stats_refresh = 30 secs stats_track_cmds = yes } protocols = " imap lmtp" service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { user = postfix } } service dict { unix_listener dict { group = mail mode = 0600 user = root } } service imap-login { process_min_avail = 5 service_count = 0 } service imap { process_limit = 4096 } service lmtp { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { group = postfix mode = 0600 user = postfix } } service stats { fifo_listener stats-mail { group = mail mode = 0660 user = root } } ssl_ca = </etc/dovecot/thawte2.crt ssl_cert = </etc/dovecot/dovecot2.pem ssl_key = </etc/dovecot/private/solaray-sunglasses.com.key userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext driver = ldap } protocol lmtp { postmaster_address = postmaster(a)solaray-sunglasses.com } protocol imap { mail_plugins = acl notify mail_log stats imap_acl imap_stats } All of our users are "real" (no virtual users or domains) and only a single domain supported.

25 Aug '15

sieve and managesieve are both working fine, have been for years. Now I want to add a sieve_after script: /etc/dovecot/conf.d/90-sieve.conf : plugin { sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve sieve_before = sieve_after = ~/sieve/personal.sieve sieve_subaddress_sep = + } I have compiled ~/sieve/personal.sieve to ~/sieve/personal.svbin, but it doesn't seem to be read. Any hints? thanks Per Jessen -- Per Jessen, Zürich (17.2°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland.
