[Dovecot] Disable IMAP for ONE user only
by SIW 09 May '14

09 May '14

I use MySQL to store my virtual users passwords and I am running the latest version of Dovecot. What I need to do is have one particular user have ONLY access to their email via Roundcube (webmail) and no IMAP/SMTP access. Therefore, how do I disable IMAP/SMTP access for just one user?

[Dovecot] imapc with Outlook.com transfers max 22-23 messages per mailbox!?
by Nicholas Riley 08 May '14

08 May '14

Hi, I'm trying to migrate a user from Outlook.com IMAP to Dovecot. I'm using a setup similar to that on http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Migration/Dsync: imapc_host = imap-mail.outlook.com imapc_user = [...](a)hotmail.com imapc_password = [...] imapc_features = rfc822.size fetch-headers mail_prefetch_count = 20 imapc_port = 993 imapc_ssl = imaps imapc_ssl_verify = yes ssl_client_ca_dir = /etc/ssl # this needs fixing on the wiki page Here's how I sync a single mailbox, which should have a few hundred messages in it: % doveadm -D -v -c [...] sync -1 -R -u [...] -m Avalon imapc: Output is at http://sabi.net/temp/sync.txt But every mailbox contains at most 22-23 messages. % for i in Maildir/**/cur; do echo $i $(ls -1 $i | wc -l) done Maildir/Alaska/cur 23 Maildir/Avalon/cur 22 Maildir/Christine Scott/cur 22 Maildir/Cornell/cur 22 Maildir/Coupons/cur 10 Maildir/Deleted/cur 22 [...] I was using 2.2.9 but I also tried with the dovecot-2.2 hg tip and did not see any difference. Is there a rawlog equivalent for imapc? I'm hoping that there is a simple protocol usage change that could let me get entire mailboxes. -- Nicholas Riley <njriley(a)illinois.edu>

[Dovecot] segfault with shared namespace version > 2.1.16
by Tom Lieuallen 08 May '14

08 May '14

We're currently running 2.1.16. I've been wanting to update to a 2.2.X version, but have been running into problems, even with the latest (2.2.12). I'm not sure at what version this issue appeared, but I believe I've tried 2.2.10, 2.2.11, and now 2.2.12. We have a shared maildir setup. With that configuration in place and with a user in the dovecot-acl file, I can do the following to make it segfault every time. Note if I comment out the shared namespace config, it does not segfault. /private/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/imap -u tom2 * PREAUTH [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE SORT SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT MULTIAPPEND URL-PARTIAL CATENATE UNSELECT CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE QRESYNC ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH LIST-STATUS SPECIAL-USE BINARY MOVE] Logged in as tom2 l list "" * Segmentation fault (core dumped) The /a1 and /a2 mentioned here for shared folders and indexes are both local ext4 file systems. =========== Here is the output of dovecot -n: # 2.2.12: /private/dovecot/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64 x86_64 CentOS release 6.5 (Final) first_valid_uid = 100 listen = * mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u:INDEX=/a2/imap-index/%u mail_plugins = quota acl namespace { hidden = yes inbox = no list = children location = maildir:/a1/dove-shared:INDEX=/a2/imap-index/dove-shared/%u prefix = sharedimap/ separator = / 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 = /private/dovecot/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext driver = ldap } passdb { args = scheme=CRYPT username_format=%u /private/dovecot/etc/passwd driver = passwd-file } plugin { acl = vfile quota = fs:INBOX:mount=/a1 quota2 = fs:Home quota:mount=%h } protocols = imap lmtp service imap-login { process_limit = 500 process_min_avail = 16 service_count = 1 } service imap { process_limit = 2048 } ssl_cert = </private/ssl/certs/mail.engr.oregonstate.edu.pem ssl_key = </private/ssl/certs/mail.engr.oregonstate.edu.pem userdb { args = /private/dovecot/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext driver = ldap } userdb { args = username_format=%u /private/dovecot/etc/passwd driver = passwd-file } ============== I've got core dumps from it.

[Dovecot] Dsync via dovecot proxy
by mtrainer＠cloud-free.com 08 May '14

08 May '14

Hi All, I need to import mailboxes into my Director NFS setup via one of my director proxy's as doing a direct dsync to the backend mailstores appears to giving me NFS locking issues. It looks like it may be possible to do this using doveadm listeners. I have setup doveadm listeners on a test proxy and backend mailstore. I am not sure how to make the dsync proxy through to the backend mailstore - it doesn't appear to be doing so below. My dovecot configs follow further below. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Dovecot] dsync replication does not replicate new subfolders
by Nikolaos Milas 08 May '14

08 May '14

Hello, Although this issue has been raised in another thread: https://www.mail-archive.com/dovecot@dovecot.org/msg57281.html I decided I should create a new one dedicated on it because that thread includes other issues as well, and the issue in question still remains unresolved although it is an important one (and I am hoping to attract Timo's attention on it, too ;-) ). The problem is that when dsync is configured between two servers (master/master), messages do get replicated, but newly created subfolders do not get replicated; as a result, when messages are moved by users from existing folders to newly created ones, replication results in chaos. Manually running a dsync command does not resolve the issue. See details of debug log on the above thread. I remind you that the configs of the two master/master installations (2.2.12) are available at: Primary Master: https://www.mail-archive.com/dovecot@dovecot.org/msg57298.html Secondary Master: https://www.mail-archive.com/dovecot@dovecot.org/msg57304.html The questions: 1. Is it an expected dsync behavior that newly created subfolders do not get replicated? 2. If yes, how can we replicate those? 3. If not, what is going wrong in the replication process? Does our configuration need a fix (which?) or does Dovecot needs one? Please advise! Sincerely, Nick

[Dovecot] TCP Cluster replication headache
by FUSTE Emmanuel 07 May '14

07 May '14

Hello, After going crazy building a dovecot cluster, I finally see the light ;-)) But some things are "strange" and could probably be fixed/enhanced. First : I follow the wiki doc, setting global doveadm_port. Things did not work, I've got: dovecot: doveadm(X1234567): Error: sync: /var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb: Configured passdbs don't support crentials lookups (to see if user is proxied, because doveadm_port is set) Same kind of error too when trying to use doveadm on the command line to get the replica status. My user/auth db is LDAP with "auth_bind = yes", but I don't understand the message in these context and did'nt know how to fix this. I tried to hardcode proxy/proxy_maybe property in the passdb declaration etc... Finally, I remove the global "doveadm_port 12345" and add ":12345" at the end of my "mail_replica =" line and all began to work ! Is it a wanted and expected error/fix ? Secondly: Now all is working and "doveadm replicator status '*' " correctly list all my users and the status, but after a few seconds (after replication kick in), I see all user listed twice. One time, as declared in the userdb with letters in uppercase : "X1234567" One time, in lowercase : "x1234567" On disk, all is OK, with only one replica in an uppercase directory. I initially think that it was a mismatch between userdb and passdb users return, but it was in fact the default value of auth_username_format that was the culprit. After going from the default %Lu to %u doveadm replicator status show only one entry per user as expected. Is it wanted and expected too? why auth_username_format is used/interact with/in the replication process and/or the replicator status command ? Not all is functionally tested, I go back to work. My is conf at the end of this message. Thanks Simo for this great piece of software.
