Need a bit of help with the antispam plugin
by Anthony Papillion 08 Apr '15

08 Apr '15

Hello Everyone, I'm running the antispam plugin on Dovecot 2.0.19 on Ubuntu Server 14.04 and I can't seem to get it to work. In the IMAP section of dovecot.conf I have the following lines: protocol imap { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins imap_quota imap_acl antispam # mail_plugins = $mail_plugins imap_quota imap_acl imap_client_workarounds = tb-extra-mailbox-sep # Maximum number of IMAP connections allowed for a user from each IP address. # NOTE: The username is compared case-sensitively. # Default is 10. # Increase it to avoid issue like below: # "Maximum number of concurrent IMAP connections exceeded" mail_max_userip_connections = 20 plugin { antispam_debug_target = syslog antispam_verbose_debug = 1 antispam_backend = pipe antispam_trash = Trash antispam_spam = Junk antispam_pipe_program_spam_arg = --spam antispam_pipe_program_notspam_arg = --ham antispam_pipe_program = /usr/bin/sa-learn antispam_pipe_program_args = --username=%Lu } } For some reason, when I try to move something to Junk, I get the following in my syslog: Mar 31 18:27:16 anonymail imap: antispam: plugin initialising (2.0-notgit) Mar 31 18:27:16 anonymail imap: antispam: verbose debug enabled Mar 31 18:27:16 anonymail imap: antispam: "Junk" is exact match spam folder Mar 31 18:27:16 anonymail imap: antispam: no unsure folders Mar 31 18:27:16 anonymail imap: antispam: "Trash" is exact match trash folder Mar 31 18:27:16 anonymail imap: antispam: pipe backend spam argument = --spam Mar 31 18:27:16 anonymail imap: antispam: pipe backend not-spam argument = --ham Mar 31 18:27:16 anonymail imap: antispam: pipe backend program = /usr/bin/sa-learn Mar 31 18:27:16 anonymail imap: antispam: pipe backend program arg[0] = --username=anthony(a)cajuntechie.org Mar 31 18:27:16 anonymail imap: antispam: pipe backend tmpdir /tmp Mar 31 18:27:19 anonymail imap: antispam: mailbox_is_unsure(Junk): 0 Mar 31 18:27:19 anonymail imap: antispam: mailbox_is_trash(INBOX): 0 Mar 31 18:27:19 anonymail imap: antispam: mailbox_is_trash(Junk): 0 Mar 31 18:27:19 anonymail imap: antispam: mail copy: from trash: 0, to trash: 0 Mar 31 18:27:19 anonymail imap: antispam: mailbox_is_spam(INBOX): 0 Mar 31 18:27:19 anonymail imap: antispam: mailbox_is_spam(Junk): 1 Mar 31 18:27:19 anonymail imap: antispam: mailbox_is_unsure(INBOX): 0 Mar 31 18:27:19 anonymail imap: antispam: mail copy: src spam: 0, dst spam: 1, src unsure: 0 Mar 31 18:27:19 anonymail imap: antispam: running mailtrain backend program /usr/bin/sa-learn Mar 31 18:27:19 anonymail imap: antispam: running mailtrain backend program /usr/bin/sa-learn Mar 31 18:27:19 anonymail imap: antispam: running mailtrain backend program parameter 1 --username=anthony(a)cajuntechie.org Mar 31 18:27:19 anonymail imap: antispam: running mailtrain backend program parameter 2 --spam Mar 31 18:27:21 anonymail imap: antispam: run program failed with exit code -1 This is probably a permissions issue but I'm not able to debug it.

can't create folders under shared mailbox's INBOX
by luke.bigum＠lmax.com 08 Apr '15

Hello, I have a namespace / ACL problem with shared mailboxes that I can't figure out. I have a local user tam(a)crm.yb.lmax that shares it's INBOX and all other folders with on LDAP group.

ACL syntax for setting specified folders within Maildir/ read-only for owner
by kepa 08 Apr '15

08 Apr '15

Hi, I have dovecot (2.2.16, see dovecot -n at end) installed to /opt on CentOS 6 for access on a local network. I would like to create an archival mail account which will reduce the primary account file size and still make older emails easily accessible. How can I set specified folders in this Maildir read-only with ACL? For example, I included this in the dovecot-acl file to specify protected folders in the archives@ Maildir but it did not work: "Email 2013/*" user=archives lrs "Email 2014/*" user=archives lrs Also tried this on folders without spaces with no success (the folders were still delete-able by the user via the Thunderbird client). Each "Email..." folder has several child folders that should also be read-only. BTW, what is the maximum size for a Maildir that Dovecot can comfortably handle? Thanks!

Dovecot keeps creating info files in mail directory instead of home
by Jeffrey 'jf' Lim 08 Apr '15

08 Apr '15

I've been trying to troubleshoot this for a while now, and I'm really at a loss. My userdb is set up correctly to return home, and mail, and a test with 'doveadm user' verifies this: # doveadm user user@domain field value uid 1000 gid 1000 home /var/domain/user mail maildir:/var/mail/user@domain I've reloaded, restarted, stopped and started dovecot again - and even deleted the info files in the mail directory just to be sure - but each and every time I log in with imap, dovecot recreates the files again (dovecot.index.log, dovecot-uidlist, etc.) in the mail directory instead of home. I've even made sure just in case that the home directory is accessible to all, and chmod 777, but nothing gets created there. And I dont get any errors at all in the logs.

Authentication with Samba using Kerberos fails
by Justin Clacherty 08 Apr '15

08 Apr '15

Hi, I've been having some problems getting GSSAPI authentication going against a samba (4.2) server and am hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I've searched through Google and haven't managed to find a solution yet. I followed the config instructions at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/Kerberos and run through the testing. Testing from the server with telnet does as expected i.e. I get the "+" after I try "a authenticate GSSAPI". However, when I go to test from Thunderbird on while logged in on a Windows PC joined to the domain authentication fails and I see the following in mail.log (I'm running Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS).

Deleting empty folders
by Samuel Williams 07 Apr '15

07 Apr '15

So, along with the problem of lots of folders ending in 1 1 1 1, I'd like to have a strategy to delete these. I was trying to understand if it is possible to use http://linux.die.net/man/1/doveadm-expunge to delete empty folders, but without also deleting messages? Is this possible and if so what is the syntax? Kind regards, Samuel

What to read about interactions
by Andrew Sullivan 07 Apr '15

07 Apr '15

Hi, TL;DR: I am having a hard time synthesizing the information I need out of the website/wiki documentation, and google isn't turning up what I need, so I'm looking for advice on what I should read next to understand the way aliases, dovecot's lmtp, and pigeonhole work together. Details below. I've been using dovecot happily for some years, but in a recent migration of my mail server I set up something that I think will be slightly easier to maintain. I now have a single (in my case postgres) database backing all user names and so on, with postfix relying on dovecot auth for user validation and delivery. I have the usual anti-spam machinery in there, and have started using the (for me new) pigeonhole implementation of sieve. (My old mail system was built around the earlier dovecot implementation, and while I've patched it over time it's really pretty creaky.) On the whole, this all seems very nice, but I'm having a hard time understanding the details of what interacts with what other bits when. In particular, my mail system is known by several different names, and I thought it'd be much handier to have everything land in one real mailbox, since I could sort the inbound mail into different mailboxes without a lot of trouble using seive. This has turned out to be slightly trickier than I thought it ought to be (procmail is in some ways easier), and I've come to the conclusion that I don't have a strong foundation in exactly how this is supposed to work. Apart from reading the code (which would probably at this point be hard enough for me so as to make it impossible), are there things I ought to read to understand this better? I've read the seive RFCs, but while that gives me a clue about what ought to happen protocol-wise, it isn't helping me at all to understand the interaction among the different subsystems so that I can see clearly how different parts of the delivery chain are interacting. I'm sure there's some crucial bit of, "Everyone knows that," that I've overlooked, and I thought it would be better to ask for the FM than just to read randomly until I stumbled on it. Thanks, A -- Andrew Sullivan ajs(a)crankycanuck.ca
