[Dovecot] Re-downloading mails after migrate server
by Esther Yébenes --Conzentra-- 29 Apr '11

29 Apr '11

Hi all, first of all, I must say that I am pretty new to mailing lists, so please, if I do something wrong, just tell me. Now, my problem. I'm migrating a mail service from a temporal to a definitive server. Both servers have the same versions (Postfix, Dovecot -1.0.7, POP3 & IMAP services-, MySQL) and it all works perfectly. The only problem is with the users that store their mail on the server; on the testing, when I check if there is new mail, I download the mail stored on the new server once more. After that, it works correctly (no more unwanted downloads), but I need to avoid that first download. I have been investigating before writing to the list. I have checked that UIDL are the same on both servers, and the configuration is exactly the same except for the name of the server; I have seen in few places that it may be the cause for downloading thdovecote mail again, so I changed the name of the new server to the old's one, but it happened again. I know that lots of servers are migrated every day, and never heard about those problems, so I suppose it must be a solution for this, or maybe a better way to configure the servers. If you wanna take a look at the configuration of both servers, I have pasted them on here --> http://pastebin.ca/2051228 Please, let me now if you need any more information.

[Dovecot] [dovecot] Question about master user and PAM with dovecot 2.0.12
by Jonathan Siegle 29 Apr '11

29 Apr '11

Is it possible to allow master users to be authenticated against PAM? Something like: passdb { driver = pam #args = /etc/dovecot/passwd.masterusers master = yes #pass = yes } and then have a userdb which qualifies what accounts are master accounts but doesn't have passwords? Thanks, Jonathan

Re: [Dovecot] Dovecot Folder Creation Problem
by Ceyhun Ganioglu 29 Apr '11

29 Apr '11

Hi Robert, Many thanks for your reply. I realized that the title of my email was not explaining my exact problem. My problem is not the creation of the folders. I am happy with the folders created by RoundCube. I am confused why Outlook can't write to the Sent Items folder. Logically Outlook, TB or any other email client must have permission to write the sent mails to the chosen sent mail folder on an IMAP server without any problems. Am I wrong?

[Dovecot] how to limit size of dovecot.log
by Aaron C Johnson 29 Apr '11

29 Apr '11

I've done some searching and maybe I'm missing something... I have a remote dovecot and postfix server running on debian 5. I then have a local fetchmail server that retrieves email from the dovecot server via pop3s every 5 minutes. The problem is that the /var/log/dovecot.log file has grown to be over 1.1GiB over a period of less than 1 year. Is there a way to limit the size of the dovecot.log file, or do I have to run a monthly cron job or something to take care of it for me? Thank you, Aaron Johnson

[Dovecot] Segmentation Fault in doveadm move under Solaris 10

Hi all I want to move mails from folder test-ein to another folder test-aus with the new "doveadm move" command in dovecot 2.0.12. When I try the following I get a "Segmentation Fault" after the mail was copied to the new folder: # doveadm -v -f flow search -u g033 mailbox test-ein all 56779e33a911b84db22900005451a966 1 # doveadm -v -f flow search -u g033 mailbox test-aus all # doveadm -v -f flow move -u g033 test-aus mailbox test-ein all Segmentation Fault # doveadm -v -f flow search -u g033 mailbox test-aus all 57779e33a911b84db22900005451a966 26 # doveadm -v -f flow search -u g033 mailbox test-ein all 56779e33a911b84db22900005451a966 1 The mail now is in both the source folder and the destination folder.

[Dovecot] dovecot lda aliases doesn't work

Hi, I am trying to use dovecot as lda. I have put this line in my .qmail-default file: #|/var/qmail/bin/preline -f /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -d $EXT@$USER It is working correct with real addresses but couldn't find forwarding addresses. This is my /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf: driver = mysql connect = host=localhost user=vpopmailuser password=vpopmailpassword dbname=vpopmail default_pass_scheme = PLAIN password_query = SELECT CONCAT(pw_name, '@', pw_domain) AS user, pw_clear_passwd AS password FROM vpopmail WHERE pw_name = '%n' AND pw_domain = '%d' user_query = SELECT pw_dir as home, 89 AS uid, 89 AS gid FROM vpopmail WHERE pw_name = '%n' AND pw_domain = '%d' It is querying vpopmail table all the time but forwarding addresses are in the valias table, so it couldn't find forwarding addresses.

[Dovecot] What is the recommended way to move a message from one mailbox to another using CLI
by Uffe Jakobsen 27 Apr '11

27 Apr '11

What is the recommended way to move a message from one mailbox to another using CLI - serverside commands ? Since IMAP does not support transactional moves between mailboxes - The only thing that comes to my mind is this operation: 1) extract message from mailbox A using "doveadm fetch" 2) inject message into mailbox B using "dovecot-lda" 3) expunge message from mailbox A using "doveadm expunge" it this the right solution ? One problem with above approach is that injecting through "dovecot-lda" will trigger the sieve script - which I'm not interested in since the message have already been injected and processed once before - at delivery... Any advice is much welcome -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/What-is-the-recommended-way-to-move-a-message-from-on… Sent from the Dovecot mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Dovecot] What is the recommended way to delete a message from a mailbox ?
by Uffe Jakobsen 27 Apr '11

27 Apr '11

Hi, I'm implementing a shell-script (pseudo) solution to the missing IMAP Outbox feature in Dovecot (Courier IMAP feature http://www.inter7.com/courierimap/INSTALL.html#imapsend) In order to remove the message from the Outbox once it is sent I have a question: What is the recommended way to delete a message from a mailbox (from an "external" server side program - such as a shell script) ? Can I just remove the file from the mailbox - I cannot seem to find any doveadm commands that does this task. I guess that Dovecot over time will discover that the atime and mtime of its indexes and maps does not reflect reality - or is there another (better) way to delete a message.
