Sieve: fileinto a subfolder of inbox
by Federico Fanton 05 Dec '22

05 Dec '22

Hi everyone! I'm trying to write a sieve script that moves emails to a *subfolder* of the inbox. My script: require ["envelope", "fileinto", "mailbox"]; if anyof( address "to" "support(a)domain.cc", address "cc" "support(a)domain.cc", envelope "to" "support(a)domain.cc" ) { fileinto :create "INBOX.support"; } But this creates a new "support" folder BESIDE the inbox, not INSIDE it. I've tried replacing "INBOX.support" with "INBOX/support" but then I get an error: "Name must not have '/' characters" Is there something else I could try? Here is the output of dovecot -n: # 2.3.4.1 (f79e8e7e4): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.5.4 () # OS: Linux 4.19.0-21-amd64 x86_64 Debian 10.0 ext4 auth_mechanisms = plain login lda_mailbox_autosubscribe = yes mail_location = maildir:/home/vmail/maildir/%d/%n/Maildir mail_plugins = " zlib lazy_expunge" mail_privileged_group = vmail managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date index ihave duplicate mime foreverypart extracttext namespace { hidden = yes list = no location = maildir:/home/vmail/maildir/%d/%n/Maildir/expunged prefix = .EXPUNGED/ separator = / } namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { auto = subscribe special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = } passdb { driver = pam } passdb { args = scheme=SHA1 /etc/dovecot/users.conf driver = passwd-file } plugin { lazy_expunge = .EXPUNGED/ sieve = file:~/sieve;active=~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_vacation_default_period = 1d sieve_vacation_to_header_ignore_envelope = yes } protocols = imap sieve service auth { executable = /usr/lib/dovecot/auth unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-master { group = vmail mode = 0600 user = vmail } } service doveadm { inet_listener { port = 24242 } } service imap-login { process_limit = 200 } service stats { unix_listener stats-reader { group = vmail mode = 0660 user = vmail } unix_listener stats-writer { group = vmail mode = 0660 user = vmail } } ssl_cipher_list = ALL:!LOW:!SSLv2:ALL:!aNULL:!ADH:!eNULL:!EXP:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM ssl_client_ca_dir = /etc/ssl/certs ssl_dh = # hidden, use -P to show it ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it userdb { driver = passwd } userdb { args = uid=1001 gid=1001 home=/home/vmail/maildir/%d/%n allow_all_users=yes driver = static } protocol lda { mail_plugins = " zlib lazy_expunge sieve" } protocol imap { imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail mail_max_userip_connections = 20 } local 192.168.2.0/24 { doveadm_allowed_commands = sieve list,sieve get,sieve put,sieve activate,sieve deactivate doveadm_password = # hidden, use -P to show it } Many thanks for your time!

Backups and disaster recovery
by GDS 04 Dec '22

04 Dec '22

Hello all! After reading some of the past threads on backups, I was wondering if I could get a sanity check... I run a Maildir configuration for a small (10 mailboxes) mail server. Using "doveadm backup", for each mailbox I do: - Weekly full backups and then copy the files to a network-based filesystem.- Daily incremental backups and then copy the files to a network-based filesystem. My recovery assumption is that in case of hardware failure, I would re-set up the mail service and for each mailbox I will recover at the right directory the latest full mailbox backup and on top of it, each incremental backup to the latest day. Does this sound like a sound strategy? Also, I was thinking of setting up a second dovecot server on another server and replicating my primary on an hourly basis to decrease recovery time. But I looked at mbsync and it seems to require mailbox login/password for each mailbox (which I don't have). Is there an alternative? Thank you!

HIGHESTMODSEQ not increasing
by Ronny Forberger 04 Dec '22

04 Dec '22

Hi, I have a problem with my Dovecot IMAP Server on Debian Linux. I migrated it from FreeBSD to Debian, but since then the HIGHESTMODSEQ value for INBOX is not increasing, when I receive new e-mail. This causes my Groupware not to report any new e-mail via ActiveSync. Here is the protocol transscript: [I] <~>-> openssl s_client -crlf -connect mail.forberger-online.de:993 CONNECTED(00000003) [...] --- read R BLOCK * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE LITERAL+ AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN] Dovecot (Debian) ready.

The Groupware's IMAP client library is reporting, that MODSEQ is not increasing. It stays at 190086, nevertheless I receive new e-mail. I have tried the commands doveadm index and doveadm force-resync on the INBOX, without any change. My filesystem where the mailboxes reside is on ext4. Can you help me what is wrong?

I have a production Dovecot problem and although I searched the mailing lists, I could not find an answer and I hope you can give me a quick answer/pointer in the right direction. I have mails for a user (user(a)domain.net) under /var/spool/mail/virtual/ domain.net/user and I want to move ALL the mails to /var/spool/mail/virtual/domain.com/user If I use #doveadm -Dv move -u user(a)domain.net Maildir:/var/spool/mail/virtual/ domain.net/user Maildir:/var/spool/mail/virtual/domain.com/user ALL I get doveadm(root): Fatal: Unknown argument MAILDIR:/var/spool/mail/virtual/ domain.com/user if I use #doveadm -Dv move -u user(a)domain.net Maildir:/var/spool/mail/virtual/ domain.net/user /var/spool/mail/virtual/domain.com/user ALL doveadm(root): Fatal: Unknown argument /var/spool/mail/virtual/ domain.com/user What the hell am I doing wrong!? :) Thanks. Simon
