How to configure dovecot imap to listen on multiple ports?
by Rick Thomas 26 Sep '14

26 Sep '14

I need my dovecot imap server to listen on ports 143, 993, and also 30143 and 30993. What syntax do I use in (I presume) the /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf file to do this? Thanks! Rick

Exit status code 134; what is it, in the context of Dovecot Antispam plug-in?
by Ben Johnson 17 Sep '14

17 Sep '14

Hello! I just migrated from Ubuntu 12.04 LTS to 14.04 LTS and thereby from Dovecot 2.0.19 to 2.2.9. I've been using dovecot-antispam plugin with great success for the past year with 2.0.19, but after this migration, I've been seeing the exit status code 134 in the syslog when attempting to debug the Dovecot Antispam plugin not working after the migration. I have some debugging output in my pipe script; the output looks something like this: Copying message contents to temporary file for debugging purposes; file is: /tmp/sendmail-msg-7662.txt Checking if the command-line input argument string (--spam) contains the string "ham" or "spam" Mode is "SPAM" Calling (as user vmail) '/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -d "sa-training(a)example.com" -m "Training.SPAM" -p "/tmp/sendmail-msg-7662.txt"' Exit status was 134 Yet, I'm able to copy the above command and execute it manually, via the command-line, and it works (and by "works", I mean to say that the behavior is correct and exactly as expected; I receive the "Spam" email at the designated mailbox). Here's how I'm calling it when it works perfectly well (as "root"): # su -c '/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -d "sa-training(a)example.com" -m "Training.HAM" -p "/tmp/sendmail-msg-7460.txt"' vmail Any idea what status 134 might be or how to work around it? It looks to be some kind of "temporary failure exception", but that is less than informative in this context. "doveconf -n" output is appended.

replicator only starts for users who log in at least once
by Alan McGinlay 17 Sep '14

17 Sep '14

Hi! I recently setup a second with replication to the other. Both machines run ubuntu 12.04 with dovecot 2.2.13 (6bb26098a45c). All users mail accounts are currently synced manually to the first (mb1) using a dsync script, they are synchronised from a cyrus imap server. Users are still logging into the cyrus server. It appears that the only accounts that are replicated are ones who have logged into either of the dovecot servers at least once, is this how it is supposed to work? I was hoping to get full replication of all mail accounts before starting to move users into the new system. Thanks, Alan

Replication problem
by Ve (HOME) 10 Sep '14

10 Sep '14

Hi, I'm using mdbox and replication. Due to configuration error synchronization was not able to be done last week. Since then the problem has been corrected but synchronisation for some mailbox always failed in I/O stalled timeout for 600 seconds. The link between the two servers is quite slow and multiple sync are done in parallel leading to congested link. I can't replicate with rsync as change in the mdbox has been done on the two servers to get back to a working state. What do you think could be done to resynchronized the two dovecot server. Another question is what is this timeout ? Timeout of communication i.e no data received during 600 seconds ( to me that looks unlikely ) or 600 seconds for doing the full sync or 600 seconds for one mail sync. Thanks for any help. Regards, Vincent

preserving flags for shared mailbox when migrating from cyrus to dovecot
by Jogi Hofmüller 10 Sep '14

10 Sep '14

Dear all, Despite all the progress we are making in our attempt to make the migration as smooth and transparent for our users there are still some important unsolved issues. One thing that I can't figure out is how to preserve a user's flags that s/he has for mail in a shared mailbox. So far we tried 'doveadm backup -R' as well as the cyrus2dovecot script from here [1]. Both work well for individual mailboxes but do not migrate subscriptions for shared mailboxes and -- more importantly -- flags for mail in a shared mailbox. Reconstructing subscriptions is quite easy but I have no clue on how to reconstruct a user's flags. Any hint is greatly appreciated!

Trying Dovecot Replication with dsync
by Listas＠Adminlinux 04 Sep '14

04 Sep '14

Hi, I have a failover cluster for mail server with: Ubuntu12.04 + DRBD (for block replication) + Ext4 filesystem + Dovecot-2.0.19-2 with Mdbox It works fine with ~50k accounts. My cluster design: http://adminlinux.com.br/cluster_design.txt I plan to test Dovecot Replication with dsync to build an active/active cluster with load balancing. Can anyone direct me to some literature? A tutorial for example. I'm installing a cluster (for tests) with Ubuntu 14.04 + Ext4 filesystem (without Drbd) + Dovecot-2.2.9-1ubuntu2.1. My conf is in: http://adminlinux.com.br/replication-doveconf.txt I'm following this doc http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Replication but I'm getting some errors: 1) Aug 14 15:39:34 ceph1 dovecot: imap(account=domaintest.com): Error: open(/var/run/dovecot/replication-notify-fifo) failed: Permission denied What is the correct perms for /var/run/dovecot/replication-notify-fifo ? Currently: # ll /var/run/dovecot/replication-notify-fifo prw------- 1 root root 0 Aug 14 15:57 /var/run/dovecot/replication-notify-fifo| 2) Aug 14 16:02:34 ceph1 dovecot: dsync-server(account=domaintest.com): Error: Couldn't create lock /var/lib/imap/account=domaintest.com/.dovecot-sync.lock: No such file or directory Aug 14 16:02:34 ceph1 dovecot: dsync-local(account=domaintest.com): Error: Couldn't create lock /var/lib/imap/account=domaintest.com/.dovecot-sync.lock: No such file or directory In my production cluster, it is automatically created by dovecot when the user performs the first login: /var/lib/imap/<account> for INDEX /var/spool/imap/<account> for Mdbox Thanks! -- Thiago Henrique

Insert custom header in Mail logger plugin
by Bruno Galindro da Costa 03 Sep '14

03 Sep '14

Is it possible to log a message custom header through Mail logger plugin or other method? It seems that there are a fixed number of info that is configurable via mail_log_fields (http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/MailLog). .. My custom header is X-VERTICAL-IP-Quarantine-ID and I want a log event like this one: Aug 27 09:48:13 imap dovecot: imap(user@domain): copy from INBOX: box=SPAM, uid=213, *X-VERTICAL-IP-Quarantine-ID=u7cnUqYDPA9a*, msgid=< 0.0.D7.290.1CFC155CE887302.0(a)etm2.com>, size=26481, vsize=26949, from==?UTF-8?Q?Dafiti=20-=20Parceiros?= <aaa@domain>, subject==?UTF-8?Q?Sapatos=20com=2040%OFF?==?UTF-8?Q?!=20Apro?=? =?UTF-8?Q?veite!?= -- Att.
