[Dovecot] Problem with preserving MIME format with Dovecot IMAP and Outlook
by Peter Grimmond 29 Jul '12

29 Jul '12

Hello, I have installed Dovecot 2.0.19 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I have set up a very basic IMAP configuration. I have two different laptops running Outlook (one MacOS, one Windows 7) and I have configured both to connect to the Dovecot service. My problem is, emails in MIME format that I synchronise from one Outlook client are not being correctly decoded as MIME messages on the other client. Instead, the message is rendered in plaintext, starting with the lines: This message is in MIME format. Since your mail reader does not understandthis format, some or all of this message may not be legible. --B_3426360453_22814Content-type: multipart/alternative; boundary="B_3426360453_4099" --B_3426360453_4099Content-type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1"Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable Can anyone help me understand why this might be happening? The output from dovecot -n is: # 2.0.19: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.2.0-26-generic-pae i686 Ubuntu 12.04 LTS auth_debug = yes auth_verbose = yes disable_plaintext_auth = no mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir passdb { driver = pam } protocols = " imap" ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = passwd } Thanks!

Re: [Dovecot] expire-tool stops on first box with nothing to expire in it

Dumping out this field using doveadm -ftab fetch -A \ "mailbox date.saved" \ \( mailbox Trash OR mailbox Junk OR mailbox "Deleted Items" \) it seems the timestamps do not actually correspond to when the client moves messages to their trash folder, but rather, to the time I query for it i.e. a query instantiates this value. This timestamp is then retained. In practice, if this query is done on a periodic interval (e.g. daily), the date.saved will be roughly correct, and is usable as an age test for expungement. Is there a way to force this value to be cached when the client actually saves or moves a message? Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

[Dovecot] [PATCH] Pop3/imap ordering in courier-dovecot-migrate.pl
by Pavel Stano 28 Jul '12

28 Jul '12

Hi, current version of courier migration script courier-dovecot-migrate.pl preserve order of POP3 UIDLs, but it keep IMAP UIDs not in order which cause problems with clients using IMAP along with POP3 in some cases. Attached patch use MAIL_FETCH_POP3_ORDER feature added in version 2.0.13 to keep POP3 and IMAP UID[L]s in order. -- [ Ohodnotte kvalitu mailu: http://nicereply.com/websupport/4afafd34/ ] Pavel Stano | admin team http://WebSupport.sk *** TAKE AND ENJOY ***

[Dovecot] Dsync replication
by list＠airstreamcomm.net 28 Jul '12

28 Jul '12

I have been loosely following discussions dsync replication, but I am wondering if this tool still in a testing phase or has it been committed as a production part of Dovecot? I would like to do some testing with the protocol to see if it's capable of handling the change rate our mail service generates, which has about 23,000 active users. We are trying to find solutions for a two site setup where mail processing is either being done at the primary data center A and fails over to a hot standby cluster at the secondary data center B, or where both data centers are doing active processing. I have been unable to find documentation on dsync replication on the wiki, so if there is any documentation available on how to setup dsync replication I would appreciate a nudge in the right direction.

[Dovecot] fts-lucene vs SEARCH HEADER
by Matthew Powell 28 Jul '12

28 Jul '12

Hello. This is in Dovecot 2.1.7 on Linux x86, but it looks as though 2.1.8 has the same issue. I'm using fts-lucene. SEARCH HEADER TO returns no results, but SEARCH TO works: B SEARCH TO TEST * SEARCH 1 2 3 4 5 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 24 26 27 28 29 31 B OK Search completed (0.000 secs). C SEARCH HEADER TO TEST * SEARCH C OK Search completed (0.000 secs). Without FTS enabled, both forms of the query work. It looks as though the header names are indexed in lower case. But Dovecot is passing the header name to the backend in upper case when SEARCH HEADER is used. I'm not sure whether this is the *right* fix, but lower-casing the header name in lucene-wrapper.cc seems to fix the problem: --- dovecot-2.1.7-clean/src/plugins/fts-lucene/lucene-wrapper.cc 2011-12-13 06:35:29.000000000 -0500 +++ dovecot-2.1.7/src/plugins/fts-lucene/lucene-wrapper.cc 2012-07-24 14:03:14.000000000 -0400 @@ -1094,7 +1094,7 @@ return false; q = lucene_get_query(index, - t_lucene_utf8_to_tchar(index, arg->hdr_field_name, FALSE), + t_lucene_utf8_to_tchar(index, t_str_lcase(arg->hdr_field_name), FALSE), arg); break; default: Now: B SEARCH TO TEST * SEARCH 1 2 3 4 5 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 24 26 27 28 29 31 B OK Search completed (0.000 secs).

[Dovecot] Auto logging-out client
by Nicolás 28 Jul '12

28 Jul '12

Hi list! I'm writing because of an issue I'm having with my Postfix-Dovecot installation. Everything's working fine but when an IMAP client is idle for some time, Dovecot automatically logs it out. Jul 26 14:01:16 mail dovecot: imap(nicolas(a)devels.es): Disconnected: Logged out bytes=1271/7439 This entails errors when trying to send e-mails after this auto logout, such as: host devels.es[91.215.158.237] said: 550-Please turn on SMTP Authentication in your mail client, or login to the 550-IMAP/POP3 server before sending your message. Which result in a very annoying and continuous proccess of restarting my mail client. Is there a way to avoid this auto-logout, or at least configure the time after I want idle clients to auto-logout? Thank you very much! Nicolás

[Dovecot] Slightly OT - Winbind and remote authentication.
by Simon Brereton 28 Jul '12

28 Jul '12

Hi I was doing some research on setting up a samba server for my internal network (as an alternative to NAS). The setup looks easy enough, but then I got to thinking - I already have an internet host with an mysql DB that has usernames and passwords and it would be simpler all round to reuse that as the authentication server. That server is also running Dovecot, so I thought it might be simpler still to set up samba to authenticate using IMAP (the mysql server is not accessible on port 3306 anyway). A quick google resulted in a suggestion from Robert (who by now must be on every single list I'm on or rather vice-versa) about using winbind. I went off to the link he posted - http://wiki.dovecot.org/Authentication/Mechanisms/Winbind?highlight=%28winb… and the problem is that seems to indicate bind and dovecot are on the same server. So, this not being the samba list notwithstanding, is it possible to use a remote dovecot host as an authentication back-end on a local samba installation? Cheers Simon
