Hi, 

  not sure if I'm allowed to go this off topic on here, sorry if not!
I've just installed Solr FTS for Dovecot and its great, as is Dovecot!
;) It works perfectly for fast searches using Roundcube, but can anyone
suggest any Windows and/or Linux mail clients that work well with IMAP
searches rather than doing their own searches on local copies of mails?
I've had a look at Thunderbird and you can use IMAP search, buy you have
to manually select it from an advanced search dialogue and it seems you
cannot make this the default behaviour. I also tried OperaMail but it
doesn't appear to work at all (only header is searchable without
downloading local copies). I'm pretty sure Outlook will only use its own
search engine on its local copy of data. 

thanks a lot, Andy. 

PS this guide was really helpful for setting up Solr FTS with a recent
release of Solr (I'm using 6.5), might be worth including a link
somewhere on the Dovecot wiki?:

Hello Andy, it is not that difficult to get a button in Thunderbird that does the lifting:

• install add-on "Custom Buttons"
• make a new button, code see attachment

"Search on Server" seems to be remebered by the dialogue itself…

I moved from the LDA to LMTP and a lot of “weird” things stopped.

Let me know if you’d like to see my exim setup. (I’m also on FreeBSD, and the Dovecot maintainer and committer).

Hi list,

I'm having an issue on a server thats been running ok for years, its running Exim 4.91 onto of FreeBSD 10.4 with Dovecot 2.3.1.

Recently I've started seeing messages getting stuck in the queue for local delivery and upon checking the Exim log I see this:

2018-06-01 17:31:09.339 [48228] 1fOmxJ-000CXp-3s <a.smith@ldexgroup.co.uk>: dovecot_delivery transport output: lda(a.smith): Fatal: Invalid -f parameter: Path is empty string 2018-06-01 17:31:09.339 [48228] 1fOmxJ-000CXp-3s == a.smith@ldexgroup.co.uk <a.smith@ldexconnect.co.uk> R=virtual_localuser T=dovecot_delivery defer (0): Child process of dovecot_delivery transport returned 64 (could mean usage or syntax error) from command: /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda

I'm using this line for the LDA in my exim config:

command = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -d $local_part@$domain -f "$s ender_address" -a $original_local_part@$original_domain

I haven't changed any of the config, but I have updated both Exim and Dovecot. So obviously the reason seems to be that $sender_address is null, the obvious place to look I suppose is Exim but I'm seeing this particularly for things like sieve out of office, which are generated by the LDA itself and then give this error when trying to deliver the out of office message to a local user.

I'll post a question also to the Exim forum, but wondered if this problem rings any bells for anyone on here?

thanks in advance! Andy.

Hi Larry, all. My problem is in fact with the LDA, the issue is fixed in the current nightly build, so I assume will be in the next stable release. I've updated my system with the fix and deliveries are now working normally. Thanks Martin for letting me know,

thanks, Andy.

PS Larry, attached is the patch in case you want to include it in the FreeBSD package
