[Dovecot] RFE: IMAP LIST Extension for Special-Use Mailboxes
by Patrick Ben Koetter 03 Jan '14

03 Jan '14

Timo, would you consider adding support for "IMAP LIST Extension for Special-Use Mailboxes" <http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6154.txt> any time near in the future? I would really love to get rid of all those folders created by all those different mail clients just because they can't agree to use the same folder for special purpose. Obviously clients need to support it too. Having Dovecot support it certainly would make them adopt the standard sooner. p@rick -- state of mind Digitale Kommunikation http://www.state-of-mind.de Franziskanerstraße 15 Telefon +49 89 3090 4664 81669 München Telefax +49 89 3090 4666 Amtsgericht München Partnerschaftsregister PR 563

[Dovecot] v2.2.9 released
by Timo Sirainen 19 Dec '13

19 Dec '13

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.9.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.9.tar.gz.sig + Full text search indexing can now be done automatically after saving/copying mails by setting plugin { fts_autoindex=yes } + replicator: Added replication_dsync_parameters setting to pass "doveadm sync" parameters (for controlling what to replicate). + Added mail-filter plugin + Added liblzma/xz support (zlib_save=xz) - v2.2.8's improved cache file handling exposed several old bugs related to fetching mail headers. - v2.2.7's iostream handling changes were causing some connections to be disconnected before flushing their output (e.g. POP3 logout message wasn't being sent)

[Dovecot] v2.2.8 released
by Timo Sirainen 13 Dec '13

13 Dec '13

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.8.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.8.tar.gz.sig + Mail cache lookups work for the mail being saved. This improves performance by avoiding the need to parse the mail multiple times when using some plugins (e.g. mail_log). + Mail cache works for recently cached data also with in-memory indexes. + imapc: Many performance improvements, especially when working with dsync. Also added imapc_feature=fetch-headers which allows using FETCH BODY.PEEK[HEADER.FIELDS (..)] to avoid reading the entire header. + mail_location = ..:FULLDIRNAME=dbox-Mails is the same as :DIRNAME=dbox-Mails, but it will also be used for :INDEX and :CONTROL directories. (It should have worked this way from the beginning, but can't be changed anymore without breaking existing installations). - Fixed infinite loop in message parsing if message ends with "--boundary" and CR (without LF). Messages saved via SMTP/LMTP can't trigger this, because messages must end with an "LF.". A user could trigger this for him/herself though. - lmtp: Client was sometimes disconnected before all the output was sent to it. - imap_zlib plugin caused crashes during client disconnection in v2.2.7 - replicator: Database wasn't being exported to disk every 15 minutes as it should have. Instead it was being imported, causing "doveadm replicator remove" commands to not work very well.

[Dovecot] Locking down master user to certain domains through passwd-file auth
by Andrew Obertas 12 Dec '13

12 Dec '13

Hello, I know it is possible to lock down a master user to only have access to certain domains through SQL login but I was wondering if the same was possible with a passwd-based system. I currently have a master-passwd file residing in the /etc/virtual/domain.com/ directories I want the master user to be able to log in to. Is there a way to tell passdb to only allow the master user login to proceed if they can auth to the master-passwd file in the same folder as the user? Alternatively, is there a better way to go about this? What I assumed would be the easy approach, where the domain from the user's e-mail is fetched, doesn't seem to work as %d fetches the master user's domain and, unless I'm doing something wrong, the login_domain variable cannot be used as this is outside Dovecot-auth. Any assistance with this would be appreciated. -- Best regards, Andrew Obertas Technical Support Representative Infinet Communications Group

[Dovecot] Dovecot connection problem - Too many invalid commands (no auth attempts) - v2.0.19
by Thomas Standaert 12 Dec '13

12 Dec '13

Hello. This might be a silly problem, but I'm a bit a newbie at this, and the internet didn't give me a solution to this yet. I installed a mail server with postfix, dovecot, postfixadmin and a mysql DB for authentification, using this tutorial : <http://www.exratione.com/2012/05/a-mailserver-on-ubuntu-1204-postfix-doveco t-mysql/> http://www.exratione.com/2012/05/a-mailserver-on-ubuntu-1204-postfix-dovecot -mysql/. Except step 4. The complete tutorial worked on a virtual machine, but doesn't work here on a vps from ovh.net. Connecting via telnet localhost 143 works, I can connect. When I try to connect via thunderbird, the domain name is picked up, but gives me a bad login/password combination. Mail.log, mail.err and error don't show anything. Via MS Outlook, I seem to get stuck on the connection page, and I get the following errors in mail.log: dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Too many invalid commands (no auth attempts): rip=x, lip=y dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=x, lip=y dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=x, lip=y, TLS: Disconnected dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=x, lip=y, TLS: Disconnected dovecot: pop3-login: Aborted login (no auth attempts): rip=x, lip=y dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=x, lip=y, TLS: Disconnected dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts rip=x, lip=y dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=x, lip=y, TLS handshaking: Disconnected dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=x, lip=y, TLS handshaking: Disconnected And after a while asks to try to connect via plain method. Doveconf -n gives me this # 2.0.19: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-042stab068.8 x86_64 Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS simfs auth_mechanisms = plain login first_valid_uid = 150 last_valid_uid = 150 mail_gid = mail mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%n mail_uid = vmail passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } protocols = " imap pop3" service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-userdb { group = mail mode = 0600 user = vmail } } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } Hope you guys can help me, and thanks in advance for it. Greetings, Thomas Standaert

[Dovecot] post-logout scripting
by Jouko Nikula 11 Dec '13

11 Dec '13

Hi all, I found this (http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2010-January/045717.html) describing how to do a post-logout script. But is this valid anymore? It seems I'm getting error when trying to execute imap process in post-logout script and post logout documentation does not talk about executing imap. I'm trying to umount (virtual) user home directory when user logs out. Thanks, - Jouko

[Dovecot] [PATCH] lib-sql/driver-mysql.c - Add support for enabling MYSQL_OPT_SSL_VERIFY_SERVER_CERT
by Gareth Palmer 09 Dec '13

09 Dec '13

Hello, The following patch adds support for enabling MYSQL_OPT_SSL_VERIFY_SERVER_CERT. It makes the mysql client library check that the commonName in the server's SSL certificate matches the host name provided to mysql_real_connect() and aborts the connection if the name doesn't match. An example connect string would look something like: connect = ... ssl-ca=/path/to/ca.cert ssl-verify-server-cert=yes By default the mysql client library does not perform this check.

[Dovecot] imap list response has an extra field on some mailboxes.
by Kui Zhang 08 Dec '13

08 Dec '13

Hello, per rfc3501 7.2.2. LIST Response Contents: name attributes hierarchy delimiter name Dovecot: 2.1.16 /usr/lib/dovecot/imap -u user(a)domain.tld list "" "*" Most responses are correct. But some appears to not be. """ * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" {117} path/to/"part_mailbox_name" other_parts * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" {10} "test" box """ char after {117} appears to be \n. All affected mailboxes appears to have ' " ' in mailbox name. And the number between '{' '}' appears to be the length of the path. Anyone ran into this issues before? If so, how to fix it? Is it a bug? Other rfc I should read? Thanks Kui.Z
