[Dovecot] dsync: error with hierarchy separator
by Jakub Jedelsky 07 Dec '12

07 Dec '12

Hi list! I have a problem with transfering mails from mbox to maildir format. On dovecot wiki I found a dsync tool, which looks good, but returns me an error: # dsync -u mail(a)example.com mirror mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/virtuser_808 dsync(root): Fatal: Mail locations must use the same virtual mailbox hierarchy separator (specify separator for the default namespace) I found a solution with namespaces, but it doesn't work for me, there is still same error - I tried to add "-o separator=/" as option or add it to config file as mentioned there [1]. Can you push me to any solution? My dovecot -n: # 2.0.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-279.5.2.el6.x86_64 x86_64 CentOS release 6.3 (Final) auth_mechanisms = plain login digest-md5 cram-md5 disable_plaintext_auth = no mail_location = maildir:~/.maildir 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 mbox_write_locks = fcntl passdb { args = scheme=CRYPT username_format=%Lu /etc/dovecot/dovecot.passwd driver = passwd-file } plugin { autocreate = Spam autosubscribe = Spam sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve } ssl_cert = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem userdb { args = username_format=%Lu /etc/dovecot/dovecot.passwd driver = passwd-file } protocol imap { mail_plugins = autocreate } [1] http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2010-September/053186.html Thanks a lot. -jj

I cant seem to find where my user comes from that its blank? Your help is appreciated. Thanks /mf/home/jeep/shell/.signature

[Dovecot] Message Flag definitions
by Chris Dutton 07 Dec '12

07 Dec '12

Hello, I am in charge of migrating our mail system from dovecot to another server, and I am having to write a script to do this as tools like imapsync are too slow. What I am trying to find is the definitions of the flags that dovecot adds to the Maildir file name it uses for the IMAP messages. For example what the a and b mean in the following: 1176236036.P7260Q1438.sucia:2,RSab I am looking for all definitions not just a and b. Thanks Chris chris(a)rosepointnav.com

[Dovecot] How can I force FTS reindexing?
by Dave Abrahams 06 Dec '12

06 Dec '12

I threw out my lucene-indexes folder because it seemed to be missing something, and I figured it would get regenerated. Unfortunately, dovecot is only FTS-indexing new mails that come in. Is there a way to get it to reindex everything? -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing Software Development Training http://www.boostpro.com Clang/LLVM/EDG Compilers C++ Boost

I'm pretty sure, but I've run it again, confirmed that the imap-login process is using 100% of a CPU until I kill it, and have attached the tcpdump. Looks like one packet from SERVER to CLIENT shifted slightly in chronology, but otherwise the same. >>> #ifdef SO_ISDEFUNCT >>> + if (getsockopt(proxy->fd_ssl, SOL_SOCKET, SO_ISDEFUNCT, >>> + (void *)&err, sizeof(err)) == 0 && err) { >>> + errstr = t_strdup_printf( >>> + "%s: socket is defunct", func_name); >>> + break; >>> + } >>> +#endif >> >> Nope, SO_ISDEFUNCT isn't defined. > > Oh, sorry, that needs > > #include <sys/socket.h> > > at the top.

I've got both 10.7 and 10.8 SDKs in Xcode and neither have SO_ISDEFUNCT defined in sys/socket.h (or anywhere else in the usr/include directories) -- there's a SS_DEFUNCT mask defined in sys/socketvar.h -- is that what you're looking for?

[Dovecot] Update configuration for separate mail directory
by eehmke 06 Dec '12

06 Dec '12

I have a small mail server with virtual users. In my /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10- mail.conf I have this setting: mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/vhosts/%d/%u which is also the home location of each user. Now I learned that this is not the prefered configuration, and in fact some of my sieve subdirectories are mistaken as mail directories. While I understand that I have to create separate mail subdirectories in each user folder, I am not sure where I have to adapt the dovecot configuration files. I could not find a guide, only some scattered hints and of course http://wiki2.dovecot.org/VirtualUsers/Home I guess I have to shut down the server for the reconfiguration, or is there a way to do it on a life system?

[Dovecot] When are search indexes updated?
by David Abrahams 06 Dec '12

06 Dec '12

I noticed that occasionally searching in my huge archive mailbox can be really slow, so I tried doveadm index on it and it seemed to do a lot of work, which seemed strange given, for example, that dovecot-lda says it keeps Dovecot index files up-to-date. Then I thought, "maybe these are different files than the search indices." If so, that's not entirely clear from the docs and Wiki. So, questions: * When are search indexes updated? * Are they updated incrementally? * If not, why not? * If so, why would a mailbox's index drift out-of-date, as mine had? BTW, I'm using the clucene search backend. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing Software Development Training http://www.boostpro.com Clang/LLVM/EDG Compilers C++ Boost

[Dovecot] log_path - expansion possible?
by Robert Blayzor 06 Dec '12

Does (or can) the ability to use expansion variables in Dovecot's log_path exist? ie: log_path = /var/log/dovecot/dovecot-%Y%m%d -- Robert Blayzor INOC, LLC rblayzor(a)inoc.net http://www.inoc.net/~rblayzor/
