LMTP and passdb deny=yes not working
by Jogi Hofmüller 27 Aug '14

27 Aug '14

Hi all, I start this on in a new thread. I setup the deny-user setting to temporarily prevent users from logging in and (that would be great) also stop mail delivery for said user. All this is because of our upcoming migration. Now it seems that lmtp is ignoring this setting. This is from the logfile: Aug 21 13:01:00 klee dovecot: lmtp(pid): Connect from IP Aug 21 13:01:00 klee dovecot: auth: passwd-file(fischer,IP): User found from deny passdb Aug 21 13:01:00 klee dovecot: lmtp(pid, fischer): 2UErAGzR9VMBPQAAGyzfLQ: sieve: msgid=unspecified: stored mail into mailbox 'INBOX' Aug 21 13:01:00 klee dovecot: lmtp(pid): Disconnect from 172.16.16.205: Successful quit So lmtp seems to find the user and correctly states the fact but then stores the email anyhow. Is this intended or did I hit a bug? Or do I have an error in my config? Cheers, -- j.hofmüller mur.sat -- a space art project http://sat.mur.at/

multiple IMAP sessions when connecting from one client
by Martin Vegter 27 Aug '14

27 Aug '14

Hello, I am using Postfix/Dovecot/IMAP. Everything is working fine, but I have noticed that every time I connect with Thunderbird to my server via IMAP, not one but 4 connections are being logged into /var/log/mail/mail.log: 2014-08-27 09:17:46 dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<martin>, method=PLAIN, rip=11.22.33.44, lip=55.66.77.88, mpid=12519, TLS, session=<uyb/N5cB+gBUDFRB> 2014-08-27 09:17:53 dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<martin>, method=PLAIN, rip=11.22.33.44, lip=55.66.77.88, mpid=12521, TLS, session=<jioqN5cB/ABUDFRB> 2014-08-27 09:17:53 dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<martin>, method=PLAIN, rip=11.22.33.44, lip=55.66.77.88, mpid=12523, TLS, session=<pqwwN5cB/QBUDFRB> 2014-08-27 09:17:54 dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<martin>, method=PLAIN, rip=11.22.33.44, lip=55.66.77.88, mpid=12525, TLS, session=<cffremmc/gBUDFRB> This looks like 4 separate sessions are created when I log in from one client. Is this normal behavior? Can somebody please explain why this is so? My Dovecot version is 2.1.7 regards, Martin

LMTP during dsync migration
by Jogi Hofmüller 27 Aug '14

27 Aug '14

Hi all, Another question regarding migration. While migrating a mailbox with dsync is it safe to deliver mail via LMTP to the new (target) mailbox or is it wiser to deactivate LMTP delivery to this mailbox until it's fully migrated? And what methods could I use to stop delivery to a mailbox during migration? Our user data is stored on an LDAP server. Cheers, -- j.hofmüller http://thesix.mur.at/

Special-Use Mailboxes ?
by Per Jessen 27 Aug '14

27 Aug '14

Lots of people must have had this issue before me - users using different devices&software (pc, smartphone, tablet, thunderbird, outlook, webmail) and languages (e.g. English on the PC, German on the iPhone), some folders end of with different names - e.g. "Sent" and "Gesendete Elemente" - meaning the same thing, namely "sent mails". How do you map these to just one folder such that it shows up correctly independently of what the user happens to be using? It sounds like something for the mailbox "Sent" { special_use = \Drafts } config directive? Is that what it might be used for? mailbox "Sent" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Gesendete Elemente" { special_use = \Sent } -- Per Jessen, Zürich (12.9°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland.

Object storage
by List 26 Aug '14

26 Aug '14

Timo, We are contemplating building an S3 compatible cluster of storage servers using Pithos <https://github.com/exoscale/pithos> and Cassandra to get multi data center redundancy and availability. Would it be possible to have multiple Dovecot servers in disparate geographical locations all talking to the same object storage, assuming it's consistent between sites? From what I remember about obox the dovecot servers all keep a copy of the index locally and merge it with a file in the object storage at intervals, is this an issue with our concept? Also does your team have any performance analysis data on the obox plugin, or data on it's use in production?

Running dsync results in Panic: file mbox-lock.c: line 799 (mbox_lock)

Hello, I'm converting our system to use dovecot. As part of the migration we need to convert existing mbox'es to Maildir format. I'm using latest Dovecot2 available as FreeBSD pkg - 2.2.13.
