Can email be shared between POP3 and shell account access?
by Steve Matzura 26 May '15

26 May '15

I needed to receive a message to admin(a)mydomain.com. I waited and waited for it, but it never showed up in the admin mailbox on the mydomain.com machine. So I looked for the admin account in /etc/dovecot.passwd, and there it was, plain-text password and all! I set up a retrieval system for the admin POP3 account and got all the messages I was waiting for, not to mention about 20 that I wasn't, which were obviously old and discardable. This got me to thinking, is it possible to have an account accessible not just via POP3 from the ouside, but through mail/mailx on the inside, and if so, how is that set up?

sieve: extract first chars of body in sieve script
by Ingo Thierack 26 May '15

26 May '15

Hello, is it possible to extract the first x chars of the body of an message to forward it, or the complete body inside an sieve script. I want to forward specific mails via telegram-messenger. No Problem to extract the "from" and the "subject". if header :matches "Subject" "*" { set "subject" "${1}"; } if header :matches "from" "*" { set "from" "${1}"; } pipe :copy :try "notify.sh" [ "(${from})# ${subject}" ]; But is it also possible for the body? If I can only pass the complete body, I can cut out the first x chars inside the notify-script. Can't find any hint for that. Regards Ingo

Hi! When I run "doveadm sync -u <an-specific-user> tcp:192.168.0.2:12345", I get this error: http://pastebin.com/NxyyNGJk Only to one specific user...

Typo in systemd commit HG 8dc79a437858
by Thomas Leuxner 25 May '15

The apostrophes need to be removed from the LimitCORE example, otherwise the parameter will not be recognized: $ cat /etc/systemd/system/dovecot.service.d/service.conf [Service] #Environment='OPTIONS=-p' #LimitCORE=8192 LimitCORE=infinity

timeout for POP3 query.
by Christian Eichert 25 May '15

25 May '15

Is there a way to timeout POP3 query if they come to often? More precise I want to know if there is a setting in dovecot that makes it ignore pop3 requests from a certain user if they come more often then a certain amount of time. I am looking for a setting in dovecot, not a firewall solution. I would like dovecot to answer something like "requests come to often, please come back later." regards christian

Couldn't set transaction log view (seq 9..13)
by micah anderson 25 May '15

25 May '15

Hello, I'm using 2.2.13 on Debian stable, and I perform regular dsync backups. Typically if there is an error, dsync can recover from it the next time it is run, but I've been encountering a new error that doesn't seem to self-heal: # /usr/bin/dsync -u gae backup ssh -i /root/.ssh/id_rsa backmaildir(a)internal.example /usr/bin/dsync -u micah dsync-remote(micah): Error: /srv/maildirbackups/m/micah/daily.1/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index: Couldn't set transaction log view (seq 9..13) dsync-remote(micah): Error: Failed to read transaction log for mailbox INBOX Re-running the dsync never fixes the issue. I'm happy to provide any additional information if so required to help track down this problem! micah

Controlling IP addresses for services
by Alex 24 May '15

24 May '15

Hi, I'm using dovecot-2.2.15 on fedora21 and would like to configure pop3s and imaps to only listen on localhost and internal addresses. It seems the listen= parameter only supports ports, not IP addresses. Is it possible to control which IPs the services listen on? I'm also interested in knowing the differences between pop3-login and just the pop3 service? Same with imap-login and imap? I've searched the wiki and still a bit confused. Thanks, Alex

Problem with sieve not triggering randomly?
by Chris Adams 23 May '15

23 May '15

I'm running CentOS 7.1 with Dovecot 2.2.10 (CentOS packaged version). I have Postfix feeding messages to Dovecot for local delivery via LMTP, and I have Amavisd for spam filtering. For messages above a certain threshold, Amavisd adds the "X-Spam-Flag: YES" header, and I file that into the Spam folder using a default (system-wide) sieve script (there aren't any per-user sieve scripts set up): require "fileinto"; if header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" "YES" { fileinto "Spam"; } I can see it work on my test messages and from lmtp log entries. However, it doesn't seem to always work. I had a user complain about a spam increase, and I looked in their mailbox. I see a message with the "X-Spam-Flag: YES" header, but it is in the INBOX (and the corresponding lmtp log entry shows that's where it went). Why would the sieve script work on some messages and not others? I don't see any errors in the log. I see a bunch of messages from the same source to different users, and they were all filed into INBOX, not Spam. Looking at the message in question, it is a pretty bogus message. There are multiple From: and Subject: headers. Would that cause sieve to "punt" on the message (but not log anything about it)? -- Chris Adams <cma(a)cmadams.net>

Dovecot-Director, (Manage)-Sieve und Remote-IP
by Benjamin Hück 23 May '15

23 May '15

Hello, I`ve got a question about Dovecot-Director and (Manage)-Sieve: is there any possibility to pass-through the original IP-address to the backend server? In this case I try to pass-through the IP-address of a webmail server. I`ve looked for a solution in different forums and tried it with the parameter "login_trusted_networks", however no success. The above solution is working with IMAP/POP3/LMTP, but not with Sieve. For any solutions or any hint I would be grateful. Best regards Benjamin Hück -- ________________________________ ________________________________ KEVAG Telekom GmbH Cusanusstr. 7 D-56073 Koblenz Fon: +49 261 20162-0 Fax: +49 261 20162-25100 http://www.kevag-telekom.de/ Geschäftsführer: Bernd Gowitzke, Gerd Thewalt Sitz der Gesellschaft: Koblenz, Amtsgericht Koblenz, HRB Nr. 5343 USt.IdNr.
