[Dovecot] Where can I find a stable PPA?
by Daniel Reynolds 22 Mar '14

22 Mar '14

Hello, As the subject says, where can I find a stable PPA of Dovecot v2.2 for Ubuntu 12.04? I found this <https://launchpad.net/~kokelnet/+archive/dovecot22>, but the description says, "...I declare them as unstable." For obvious reasons, I don't want to use this. What should I do? Thanks, Daniel

[Dovecot] Debian Wheezy Dovecot Replication no updates on message deposit
by Milan Cvetkovic 21 Mar '14

21 Mar '14

Hi, I am trying to setup dovecot replication based on: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Replication http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2013-January/087674.html I know that 2.1.7 is dated, but I would refrain from upgrading, if not necessary. The problem I have is pretty much same as the one described in http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2013-January/087674.html: I have vmail user on both systems, setup with ssh public key logins with empty passphrase. Apparently, dsync happens only on … [View More]

[Dovecot] Dovecot + roundcube -- Password Change
by Vijay Rajah 21 Mar '14

21 Mar '14

Hello, I'm using Postfix + Dovecot (2.2.6) + roundcube 0.8.x + mysql. The roundcube webserver is hosted on a different server than the Dovecot. The dovecot itself is a replicated 2 node configuration. I would like to allow users to change the password from roundcube interface. All the examples I have seen, assume that roundcube runs in the same server as dovecot. Is there an example / documentation to enable this to work, applying reasonable security measures. -Thanks Vijay

[Dovecot] Password hashing issue
by Daniel Reynolds 20 Mar '14

20 Mar '14

Hello, First off, thanks in advance for all of your help. Now to my issue: I am setting up my first email server. It will be for just me and a few other people. I am using an Amazon EC2 server running Ubuntu 12.04. My MTA is postfix. As I said, this is my first time setting up an email server, so I am following a guide that Arstechnia has published (link<http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2014/03/taking-e-mail-back-pa…> ). My issue comes when I try to create a hashed of my … [View More]

Re: [Dovecot] versioning of mailbox index files
by morrison 19 Mar '14

19 Mar '14

My current approach is to introduce a index version file .dovecot.index.version in each mailbox and hooks mailbox_allocated event via my own plugin. If the version file does not exist or exist but with version number which need to be upgraded, index files in that mailbox are removed. I also tried to hook mailbox_opened() event and found that event was too late (index was loaded already). The side effect of hooking mailbox_allocated is that the event fires not only by 'select' command. 'list' … [View More]

[Dovecot] Using a Sieve script to handle delivery to public mailboxes
by Alessandro Menti 19 Mar '14

19 Mar '14

Hello everyone, I'm setting up a Postfix+Dovecot stack with virtual domains and public mailboxes. I set up a shared mailbox "office(a)mydomain.com" as described in the Dovecot Wiki [1], that is: - I created the directory "/var/mail/mydomain.com/public/" and inside it I created the ".office" mailbox; - I added an appropriate ACL to allow the account "president(a)mydomain.com" to read and edit that mailbox under a public namespace; - I added a Sieve script to handle delivery to the … [View More]public mailbox (its location is /var/mail/mydomain.com/public/.office/.dovecot.sieve). Some other relevant details about my configuration: - The backend used by Postfix and Dovecot to handle virtual aliases/domains/maps is a MySQL database. Since the virtual user table is used by other applications as well, I decided to keep it "clean" and to make use of another "virtual mailboxes" table (see /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext below). The password_query setting returns only results from the virtual user table (so that only real users can authenticate on the IMAP server), while the user_query setting returns results from both the virtual user and the virtual mailbox table (so that dovecot-lda can choose the correct mailbox). - The queries saved in password_query and user_query return the correct results when executed manually: the home directory for the "office(a)mydomain.com" virtual mailbox is set to /var/mail/mydomain.com /public/.office. - Delivery from and to the "president(a)mydomain.com" account is regular, and that account is able to access the "office(a)mydomain.com" virtual mailbox (I have tested this by speaking IMAP to the server and by performing a manual check using Thunderbird). I encountered a problem with this setup: when I send a message to the "office(a)mydomain.com" account, the Postfix logs say it is correctly delivered via Dovecot, but the Sieve script says it can not find the folder "Public/.office". As a consequence, Dovecot creates a new Maildir in /var/mail/mydomain.com/office and delivers the mail there instead of saving it in the correct directory (/var/mail/mydomain.com/public/.office). Is there something I set incorrectly in my configuration? What is causing Dovecot not to recognize the correct mailbox during delivery? Is there a way to list all mailboxes seen by dovecot-lda itself?

Allowing a sender control over both the recipient (via spoofing), and the content seems like perfect recipe to turn your mail server into a spam relay cannon. If you do do this, you should hedge this by only allowing it from known trusted senders (e.g. local network). Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

[Dovecot] Dovecot crashes on large search result sets in virtual folders when using fts-solr
by Steffen Templin 19 Mar '14

19 Mar '14

Hi Devs, I experience reproducible crashes when searching in a virtual folder with fts-solr activated. The crashes occur only, if the folder contains a large number of mails and the result set of the search is also large. If the result set is small, no crash occurs. This happens on Debian Wheezy with versions 2.1.7 and 2.2.9. My goal was it to setup the possibility for cross-folder fulltext search. Therefore dovecot was setup with fts-solr, which seems to work fine in most cases. A virtual … [View More]
