[Dovecot] POP3 with mdbox
by Patrick Domack 07 Mar '11

07 Mar '11

I converted all my box's over to mdbox, from maildir and ran into this issue, I knew exactly what it was and fixed it, but might want to log a config error or something for others to notice the issue. I was running with pop3_uidl_format = %f, and well, that doesn't work with mdbox very well, and when a user ran a UIDL command, it errored the user out. Simple fix, but would probably be nicer to log a config error when started dovecot instead.

[Dovecot] dovecot 1.2.3: TB fails to unsubscribe folder after deletion
by Max Dittrich 07 Mar '11

07 Mar '11

Hi, I'm running dovecot 1.2.3 with "imap_client_workarounds = tb-extra-mailbox-sep" and noticed that after deleting a folder (moving to Trash and emptying it on exit) that folder in Trash still keeps subscribed. I think the reason for that behavior is that the call for mailbox_list_set_subscribed() in imap/cmd-subscribe.c (line 84) is fed with the original mailbox name and not the stripped version in verify_name. Assigning verify_name to mailbox in the workaround-conditional fixes this issue for me. I'm not very familiar with C programming but while tracing cmd_subscribe_full() I stumbled upon another thing. In mail_namespace_find_mask() (lib-storage/mail-namespace.c at line 413) mailbox is reassigned with a local string (not t_strduped). I think this might be a problem when mailbox is dereferenced after returning from that function?! .max

[Dovecot] mdbox command line access howto request
by David Favor 07 Mar '11

07 Mar '11

Currently using Maildir in my config for 1.2.16 going to 2.0.11 and wondering about accessing files outside of dovecot. Many files require access by external programs. For example walking a list of receipt files from merchant processors verifying transaction amounts. This requires each file being read + parsed. With mdbox a file may contain multiple messages. Let me know the best command line tool to break mdbox files into a string of messages. Thanks. -- Love feeling your best ever, all day, every day? Click http://RadicalHealth.com for the easy way!

[Dovecot] Dovecot, Postfix and Dovecot LDA (LMTP) delivery
by Remy Zandwijk 07 Mar '11

07 Mar '11

Hi list, I am running a Debian Lenny machine with Postfix 2.5.5 and Dovecot 2.0.8. Up until now I ran Postfix with the Procmail delivery agent succesfully. The machine has only local users; I am not using virtual mailboxes. Due to obvious reasons I want to switch to Dovecot LDA delivery, through LMTP. I spend quite some time finding 'the' configuration for both Postfix and Dovecot, but without success. Find my current configuration below. Postfix receives the e-mail, but delivery through LMTP fails, resulting in Postfix sending an NDR. I just cannot figure out what's wrong and I am not sure whether it's a Postfix or Dovecot problem either. Some log output from Postfix: Mar 5 13:25:15 hostname postfix/smtpd[12442]: connect from otherhost.domain.tld[aa.bb.cc.dd] Mar 5 13:25:16 hostname postfix/smtpd[12442]: CC47979071: client=otherhost.domain.tld[aa.bb.cc.dd] Mar 5 13:25:16 hostname postfix/cleanup[12447]: CC47979071: message-id=<Pine.GSO.4.64.1103051324570.5319(a)otherhost.domain.tld> Mar 5 13:25:16 hostname postfix/qmgr[12372]: CC47979071: from=<remy(a)otherhost.domain.tld>, size=1037, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Mar 5 13:25:16 hostname postfix/smtpd[12442]: disconnect from otherhost.domain.tld[aa.bb.cc.dd] Mar 5 13:25:16 hostname postfix/lmtp[12448]: CC47979071: to=<remy(a)hostname.domain.tld>, relay=hostname.domain.tld[private/dovecot-lmtp], delay=1.2, delays=1.2/0.01/0.01/0.05, dsn=5.1.1, status=bounced (host hostname.domain.tld[private/dovecot-lmtp] said: 550 5.1.1 <remy(a)hostname.domain.tld> User doesn't exist: remy(a)hostname.domain.tld (in reply to RCPT TO command)) The only lines that Dovecot logs are: Mar 05 13:25:16 lmtp(12449): Info: Connect from local Mar 05 13:25:16 lmtp(12449): Info: Disconnect from local: Client quit Although LMTP should log to /tmp/dovecot-lmtp.log, the file remains empty.

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.0 in Active-Standby configuration
by Yaron & Hani Nahum 07 Mar '11

07 Mar '11

Hi, I am planning to use Dovecot 2.0 as a Mail server for a Voicemail system. There is not much traffic so I am not concerend about scaling. However redudancy is an issue. I need to have two Dovecot servers installed on two different farms and setup HA between the two. I would prefer that the HA would be automatically. I have two different storage machines with SAN, and I can setup Layer 2 between the two farms. I am concerned with split brain scenario where the two farms are disconnected and both machines would become active. What cluster configuration would you recommend for such an enviroment?

[Dovecot] Problems with shared folders with Dovecot 1.2.12

Hello, I'm trying to run shared folders with Dovecot 1.2.12. I'm managing ACLs from SOGo and it seemd that it successfully create dovecot-acl and dovecot-acl-list in user maildir. But I cannot see any of these shared folders. In Thunderbird I could see shared folder in Subscriptions but without option to subscribe. I was reading almost everything that was possible to google but without success.

[Dovecot] v2.0.11 released
by Timo Sirainen 07 Mar '11

07 Mar '11

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/dovecot-2.0.11.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/dovecot-2.0.11.tar.gz.sig Looks like v2.0.10 was a bit troublesome release. I expect this one to last longer. * dotlock_use_excl setting's default was accidentally "no" in all v2.0.x releases, instead of "yes" as in v1.1 and v1.2. Changed it back to "yes". - v2.0.10: LDAP support was broken - v2.0.10: dsyncing to remote often hanged (timed out in 15 mins)
