[Dovecot] Imap user via proxy with starttls - how to rawlogs on proxy ?
by askforstatus 02 May '14

02 May '14

Hello, Is there any way to log user imap dialog with starttls when going via dovecot acting as imap proxy ? My intention is to log each and every user command similar to rawlogs feature. As per my current imap proxy config pre-login working like a charm but post-login is not possible due as i think the nature of proxy feature. Any idea ? Regards -- View this message in context: http://dovecot.2317879.n4.nabble.com/Imap-user-via-proxy-with-starttls-how-… Sent from the Dovecot mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Dovecot] Not backing up cache files
by Jesus Cea 02 May '14

02 May '14

I am using mdbox for dovecot storage. I wonder if I could skip "dovecot.index.cache" files and, in general, "*.cache" files when doing mail backup. Those files are big and change frequently. What I feel from reading documentation [1][2] is that they could be dropped in the backups, to be recreated on the fly if needed. But I would like expert confirmation.

[Dovecot] BUG dovecot and nginx
by Tobias Oetiker 02 May '14

02 May '14

we have setup a two level proxy configuration for our zimbra server: [ dovecot 2.2.12 (imap proxy mode) ] V [ nginx (imap proxy mode) ] V [ zimbra imap server] and it does not work ... after tying a login, the connection just hangs and ends after 30 seconds with a timeout. - if I try again rightaway in the same dovecot connection, the login goes though without trouble. - looking at this with tshark I can see that on the second attempt, there is no capabilities query, dovecot just goes ahead and connects. if we drop nginx from the setup all is well also (login works directly as expected) - investigating the traffic differences between the setups with and without nginx, we find that for some reason dovecot does not react to the capabily answer from nginx. while it seems to happily accept the same answer when it is coming from zimbra directly. - the only difference I can see on the wire is that nginx is much quicker (2.5ms) in responding than the zimbra (25ms) server and that the position of the STARTTLS and SASL=PLAIN capabilities in the capability answer differs between the two. any ideas ? cheers tobi -- Tobi Oetiker, OETIKER+PARTNER AG, Aarweg 15 CH-4600 Olten, Switzerland www.oetiker.ch tobi(a)oetiker.ch +41 62 775 9902 *** We are hiring IT staff: www.oetiker.ch/jobs ***

[Dovecot] Rebuilding message guid in sdbox
by Renaud Allard 02 May '14

02 May '14

Hello, I am running dovecot 2.2.12 Current mail storage is sdbox and I am trying to compress all emails, which works fine, except for a few old mailboxes. If I run the following dsync command "dsync -u flea -o "mail_plugins=zlib" mirror maildir:~/ndbox" It fails with: dsync(flea): Error: Exporting mailbox INBOX failed: Backend doesn't support GUIDs, sync with header hashes instead Doing "doveadm dump flea/dbox/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index" reveals that there are very old mails (about 5 years ago) without any guid like that one: RECORD: seq=1, uid=1560, flags=0x00 - ext 1 modseq : 16043 (ab3e000000000000) - ext 3 cache : 396 (8c010000) - cache offset=396 size=20, prev_offset = 0 - guid: So, my question is: is there a way to force dovecot to assign a guid to those messages? Best Regards

[Dovecot] Dovecot Director and MasterUsers
by Daniel Parthey 02 May '14

02 May '14

Hi, the Dovecot Director determines the backend host in some way by hashing the username: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Director For normal logins username(a)example.org, the director always gets the same hash for the same username and ensures that the login is always proxied to the same backend. But what about MasterUsers in combination with Dovecot Director? http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/MasterUsers Which configuration directives should be used to make sure that logins username@example.org*masteruser1@example.org username@example.org*masteruser2@example.org username@example.org*masteruser3@example.org go to the same mailbox backend, in order to avoid NFS caching conflicts for mailbox username(a)example.org which should always reside on the same NFS client? Is the master user cut off from behind the master_user_separator? How is the director hash exactly calculated? Can the director hashing algorithm be configured in some way? Regards Daniel

[Dovecot] BUG: Authentication client sent unknown handshake command

Hi everybody, I'm using dovecot-2.2.11 on NetBSD. After a kernel upgrade, while using the same dovecot binaries (they were working perfectly until today), I'm experiencing this error (more log at the end of my email): BUG: Authentication client sent unknown handshake command: REQUEST?227672066?18807?2?c717631d60216b2e9ec57a2fa69674b8?session_pid=16343?...
