[Dovecot] Delete_to_Trash plugin and quota problem
by BINOTTO Luis SIDOR 16 Apr '13

16 Apr '13

Hello list... I am new at dovecot and I have a problem with it; any help will be very grateful We have a exchange server with outlook at the client side, and we are migrating the exchange server to postfix/dovecot(1.2.15) solution. I enabled the "deleted-to-trash" plugin (v0.3) to move the messages to the Trash folder automatically when it is deleted. Also, I am using quota and quota_imap plugins to maintain the quota for users. The quota rule for Trash folder is unlimit. The problem is, when the client reach their maximum quota and try to delete a mail in the inbox to release space. The delete to trash plugin effectively copy it to the Trash folder, but the original mail still remain (marked for delete) at the inbox folder and the quota does not released. This is my Configuration: Dovecot -n # 1.2.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 i686 Debian 6.0.6 log_path: /var/log/dovecot.log protocols: imap imaps pop3 pop3s login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-login mail_uid: 16343 mail_gid: 16343 mail_location: maildir:mailboxes/mail mail_debug: yes mbox_write_locks: fcntl dotlock mail_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugins(default): autocreate deleted_to_trash quota imap_quota mail_plugins(imap): autocreate deleted_to_trash quota imap_quota mail_plugins(pop3): quota mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/pop3 imap_client_workarounds(default): delay-newmail outlook-idle netscape-eoh imap_client_workarounds(imap): delay-newmail outlook-idle netscape-eoh imap_client_workarounds(pop3): pop3_client_workarounds(default): pop3_client_workarounds(imap): pop3_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh lda: postmaster_address: sirbil(a)sidor.com mail_plugins: quota log_path: /var/log/dovecot.log auth default: mechanisms: gssapi gss-spnego login ntlm username_format: %Ln use_winbind: yes passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: ldap args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 user: vmail plugin: autocreate: Trash autosubscribe: Trash deleted_to_trash_folder: Trash quota: maildir:User quota quota_rule: *:storage=100M quota_rule2: Trash:storage=1G quota_warning: storage=80%% /etc/dovecot/scripts/quota-warning.sh 80 quota_warning2: storage=90%% /etc/dovecot/scripts/quota-warning.sh 90 quota_warning3: storage=96%% /etc/dovecot/scripts/quota-exceeded.sh 100 quota_exceeded_message: Ha exedido el tamano del buzon /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf: ... user_attrs = postalCode=mail=maildir:/mailboxes/%$/,title=quota_rule=*:storage=%$M ...

[Dovecot] Sync errors trying to sync old mbox inboxes to dovecot
by Michael Smith 16 Apr '13

We are currently running dovecot 2.2.rc3. I am trying to 'dsync mirror' old Qpopper/mbox inboxes to our new Dovecot/mdbox servers. For most of the several thousand accounts, it works without issue. But there are a handful of accounts that are generating the following errors. dsync(joe): Error: Sync failed for mbox file /var/opt/migrate/users/joe/inbox: seq=981 uid=981 uid_broken=0 originally needed 9 bytes, now needs 11 bytes dsync(john): Error: Sync failed for mbox file /var/opt/migrate/users/john/inbox: seq=115028 uid=115028 uid_broken=0 originally needed 34 bytes, now needs 35 bytes dsync(john): Error: Sync failed for mbox file /var/opt/migrate/users/john/inbox: seq=114779 uid=114779 uid_broken=0 originally needed 34 bytes, now needs 35 bytes dsync(john): Error: Sync failed for mbox file /var/opt/migrate/users/john/inbox: seq=114778 uid=114778 uid_broken=0 originally needed 34 bytes, now needs 35 bytes dsync(john): Error: Sync failed for mbox file /var/opt/migrate/users/john/inbox: seq=114621 uid=114621 uid_broken=0 originally needed 34 bytes, now needs 35 bytes dsync(john): Error: Sync failed for mbox file /var/opt/migrate/users/john/inbox: seq=114610 uid=114610 uid_broken=0 originally needed 34 bytes, now needs 35 bytes dsync(john): Error: Sync failed for mbox file /var/opt/migrate/users/john/inbox: seq=114607 uid=114607 uid_broken=0 originally needed 34 bytes, now needs 35 bytes dsync(john): Error: Sync failed for mbox file /var/opt/migrate/users/john/inbox: seq=113993 uid=113993 uid_broken=0 originally needed 34 bytes, now needs 35 bytes dsync(john): Error: Sync failed for mbox file /var/opt/migrate/users/john/inbox: seq=113868 uid=113868 uid_broken=0 originally needed 34 bytes, now needs 35 bytes dsync(john): Error: Sync failed for mbox file /var/opt/migrate/users/john/inbox: seq=113855 uid=113855 uid_broken=0 originally needed 34 bytes, now needs 35 bytes dsync(john): Error: Sync failed for mbox file /var/opt/migrate/users/john/inbox: seq=46725 uid=46725 uid_broken=0 originally needed 32 bytes, now needs 34 bytes What exactly is this error indicating and how can I fix it?

[Dovecot] LDAP attribute as shared mailbox name
by Marek Skubela 16 Apr '13

16 Apr '13

Hello, Is it possible to use LDAP attribute (cn in my case) instead of e-mail address as a shared folder name, so users would see something like: Shared > ExampleCompany Service and not the default Shared > service(a)example.com? -- Regards, Marek Skubela

[Dovecot] [PATCH] mailbox_get_metadata() for mailboxes with open transactions.
by Dafan Zhai 16 Apr '13

16 Apr '13

Hi everyone, I am writing a dovecot statistic plugin, which calls mailbox_get_metadata() to get the virtual size of the mailbox, if a mail is copied. I have noticed that mailbox_get_metadata() calls mailbox_sync(), and mailbox_sync() will fail for the mailboxes with open transactions. But if a mail is copied, there must be at least one transaction opened for the mailbox. So I can not get the virtual size. Commit [1] has fixed the same problem in mailbox_get_status(). I think the same should also be done in mailbox_get_metadata(). See the patch below. Dovecot version: 2.2.0 OS: OS: Linux 3.4.39-dist i686 maildir:~/Maildir:LAYOUT=fs:INBOX=~/Maildir/INBOX Dafan [1] http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.2/rev/12136db6e31f # HG changeset patch # User Dafan Zhai <dafan.zhai(a)securepoint.de> # Date 1366118323 -7200 # Node ID 7f0c5122d863d303ef5e74bbf650c2bac89ac564 # Parent f33bacb03cc22e02ca2d11d527d8dc0d99214486 lib-storage: mailbox_get_metadata() no longer forces mailbox to be synced.

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.2 multiple master user passdb's not working anymore
by Christian Wiese 16 Apr '13

16 Apr '13

Hi, after an update from dovecot 2.1.16 to 2.2.0 I encountered a problem when using multiple master user passdb's like the following: ----%<--------------------------------------------------------- passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/passwd.foo-master driver = passwd-file master = yes } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/passwd.bar-master driver = passwd-file master = yes } ----%<--------------------------------------------------------- The former behavior that the passdb's are searched sequentially to find the given master user doesn't seem to work anymore. Only the first passdb is searched, and thus authentication will fail for all master users which are not defined in the first passdb. Because I cannot find any hint that the master user handling has changed fundamentally it looks like a bug, but maybe I missed configuration related changes from 2.1 to 2.2 that is causing this new behavior. Cheers, Chris

[Dovecot] Probs authenticating to Dovecot
by Kris Magnusson 16 Apr '13

16 Apr '13

Hi folks. I have set up a Ubuntu 12.04 VM with Dovecot, Postfix, MySQL, amavisd, and ISPConfig 3. The VM has tons of RAM and disk and processor and is permanently connected to the Internet with a static IP. I followed the instructions at howtoforge.com to set up and configure this VM and am using ISPConfig to set up a mail hub for multiple domains. I have the DNS for my other domains' MX records pointing at this host—we'll call it "mail." Here's the version of Dovecot I'm using: root@mail:# dovecot --version 2.1.7 Anyway, when I try to connect to my VM and Dovecot using Mail.app on Mountain Lion, I get the following messages in mail.log: Apr 15 01:18:40 mail postfix/smtpd[4284]: connect from 50-196-170-xxx-static.hfc.comcastbusiness.net[50.196.170.xxx] Apr 15 01:18:40 mail dovecot: auth-worker(4331): mysql(localhost): Connected to database dbispconfig Apr 15 01:18:42 mail postfix/smtpd[4284]: warning: 50-196-170-xxx-static.hfc.comcastbusiness.net[50.196.170.xxx]: SASL PLAIN authentication failed: Apr 15 01:18:42 mail postfix/smtpd[4284]: disconnect from 50-196-170-xxx-static.hfc.comcastbusiness.net[50.196.170.xxx] Apr 15 01:18:54 mail dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (auth failed, 1 attempts in 6 secs): user=<kris>, method=PLAIN, rip=50.196.170.xxx, lip=50.196.170.yyy, TLS, session=<wwn85mHa8AAyxKq9> Apr 15 01:19:04 mail dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (auth failed, 1 attempts in 10 secs): user=<kris>, method=PLAIN, rip=50.196.170.xxx, lip=50.196.170.yyy, TLS, session=<XGdT52Ha8QAyxKq9> But if I run alpine on mail, I can send and receive mail all day long. Here's a log entry that demonstrates this: Apr 15 01:20:01 mail postfix/smtpd[4284]: connect from localhost[127.0.0.1] Apr 15 01:20:01 mail postfix/smtpd[4284]: lost connection after CONNECT from localhost[127.0.0.1] Apr 15 01:20:01 mail postfix/smtpd[4284]: disconnect from localhost[127.0.0.1] Apr 15 01:20:01 mail dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts in 0 secs): user=<>, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured, session=<FGhS62HaIwB/AAAB> So I thought it was a problem with SASL not liking PLAIN authentication. When I go to /etc/dovecot and print the contents of dovecot.conf, I see that auth_mechanisms = plain login. root@mail:/etc/dovecot# more dovecot.conf listen = *,[::] protocols = imap pop3 auth_mechanisms = plain login disable_plaintext_auth = no log_timestamp = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S " mail_privileged_group = vmail ssl_cert = </etc/postfix/smtpd.cert ssl_key = </etc/postfix/smtpd.key passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf driver = sql } userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf driver = sql } plugin { quota = dict:user::file:/var/vmail/%d/%n/.quotausage sieve=/var/vmail/%d/%n/.sieve } service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-userdb { group = vmail mode = 0600 user = vmail } user = root } protocol imap { mail_plugins = quota imap_quota } protocol pop3 { pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv mail_plugins = quota } protocol lda { mail_plugins = sieve quota } At this point I'm not sure what to think about this. The mailbox is created, it works on the host, so why wouldn't it work over the network? I've tried frobbing settings in Mail.app, as it does have some wonkiness to it, but no dice. The password is fine, everything is in place, it just doesn't work. Any thoughts or recommendations? Thanks, Kris

[Dovecot] [OT] xi.rename-it.nl dovecot-2.2 stable-auto
by Jan Phillip Greimann 16 Apr '13

16 Apr '13

Hi there, I check my mail-server for debian package-upgrades with Nagios, so everyday I got a mail for 8 "new" dovecot-packages on this server. I think that wasn't so in 2.1 stable-auto, but I'm not sure about that. Maybe someone who uses the 2.1 stable-auto repo could response to this? But 2.2 released only few days ago, maybe the repo-admin hadn't time to change this, or my memory about this is wrong. best regards, Jan
