[Dovecot] 2.1.7 altmove not working
by Alex Crow 09 Jun '12

09 Jun '12

Hi list, I've just set up a 2.1.7 server, and have migrated a couple of accounts across from a 2.0.15 server, keeping the old configs. I have a strange problem on the new box in that altmove just doesn't work. I have my main storage under /home/email, indexes under /home/indexes and ALT under /home/email_archive. When I run the altmove command, the following broken symlink is created in /home/email/integrafin.co.uk/acrow: lrwxrwxrwx. 1 email email 54 Jun 8 10:46 dbox-alt-root -> /home/email_archive/integrafin.co.uk/a/acrow/mailboxes But nothing is created in the archive other than the empty directory: /home/email_archive/integrafin.co.uk/a/acrow. My mail_location is: mail_location = mdbox:/home/email/%d/%n:INDEX=/home/indexes/%d/%1n/%n:ALT=/home/email_archive/%d/%1n/%n This worked perfectly on the older server. I have attached my doveconf -a output. Any help much appreciated. Regards Alex

Maybe someone is brute forcing your server's Postfix authenticated SMTP service since Postfix can be configured to use Dovecot's SASL authentication framework. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

Hello! I want to upgrade the docevot-installation from v 1.0.5 to 2.1..7 Now I get the following executing doveconf -n -c /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf > /home/mail1/dovecot-2.conf doveconf: Warning: Obsolete setting in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf:217: add auth_ prefix to all settings inside auth {} and remove the auth {} section completely doveconf: Warning: Obsolete setting in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf:219: passdb passwd-file {} has been replaced by passdb { driver=passwd-file } doveconf: Warning: Obsolete setting in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf:222: userdb passwd-file {} has been replaced by userdb { driver=passwd-file } The section at line 217 looks like this: auth default { mechanisms = plain passdb passwd-file { args = /etc/dovecot/passwd } userdb passwd-file { args = /etc/dovecot/passwd } How do I change it to fullfill the new needs? And how do I handle line 217? add auth_ prefix to all settings inside auth {} and remove the auth {} section completely ? Thanks for help! Andreas

[Dovecot] auth-worker problem here.
by Marko Weber 07 Jun '12

07 Jun '12

hello, in howto for gentoo i found this: To tell Postfix about the maps that you've just set up, add the following (substituting mysql for pgsql if you're on PostgreSQL) to the bottom of /etc/postfix/main.cf: virtual_alias_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/sql_virtual_alias_maps.cf virtual_mailbox_domains = mysql:/etc/postfix/sql_virtual_domain_maps.cf virtual_mailbox_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/sql_virtual_mailbox_maps.cf Tip: Because this is using the Dovecot's LDA, all results from virtual_mailbox_maps are ignored beyond checking if they exist. I added in the mysql db an alias postmaster(a)domainn.tld that should be forwarded to name(a)domainn.tld. The tip above tells me when using dovecot lda the virtual_alias_maps is ignored by dovecot. now when i send a mail to postmaster(a)domainn.tld the mail is not transported to name(a)domainn.tld. in logfile i see this: dovecot: auth-worker: sql(postmaster(a)zbfmail.de): Unknown user how can i tell dovecot to also use the virtual_alias_maps? thank you marko
