[Dovecot] Permission denied after dist-upgrade
by Thomas Skowron 18 Feb '11

18 Feb '11

Hello, after I have done a dist-upgrade to Squeeze, I got some nasty problem with my dovecot. When I try to establish a connection via IMAP, it doesn't react and writes the following into my logfile: 2011-02-16 15:23:49 imap-login: Info: Login: user=<thomas@XXX>, method=PLAIN, rip=84.130.16.134, lip=XX.XXX.XX.XXX, TLS 2011-02-16 14:23:49 dovecot: Fatal: chdir(/home/vmail/XXX/thomas/) failed: Permission denied (euid=5000(<unknown>) egid=5000(<unknown>) stat() failed: No such file or directory) 2011-02-16 15:23:49 dovecot: Error: child 14493 (imap) returned error 89 (Fatal failure) dovecot -n: # 1.2.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.26-2-xen-amd64 x86_64 Debian 6.0 ext3 log_path: /home/vmail/dovecot-info.log log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: imap imaps pop3 pop3s ssl_ca_file: /etc/ssl/certs/sub.class1.server.ca.pem 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_privileged_group: vmail mail_uid: vmail mail_gid: vmail mail_location: maildir:/home/vmail/%d/%n/ 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_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 namespace: type: private separator: . prefix: INBOX. inbox: yes list: yes subscriptions: yes lda: log_path: /home/vmail/dovecot-deliver.log postmaster_address: postmaster@XXX auth_socket_path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master global_script_path: /home/vmail/globalsieverc auth default: mechanisms: plain login passdb: driver: pam passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: passwd userdb: driver: static args: uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/home/vmail/%d/%n allow_all_users=yes socket: type: listen client: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-client mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 user: vmail I tried to change privileges for /home/vmail/, didn't work.

[Dovecot] Maildir folders, separator = /, LAYOUT=fs (to support offlineimap)
by kkruzich 18 Feb '11

18 Feb '11

I use offlineimap to pull down some Gmail mail stores. With offlineimap I use sep = / and nothing more exotic. With dovecot I can see INBOX, messages, and messages in top level folders but not subfolders. I'm dealing with folder structure that looks like this: /opt/gmail/joe/Later /opt/gmail/joe/Tech/Projects /opt/gmail/joe/Tech/Projects/Fun /opt/gmail/joe/Tech/Projects/Failed /opt/gmail/joe/Tech/Projects/Planning The folder Later has cur, tmp, new and I can see messages. Projects is a container for subfolders Fun, Failed, Planning. I know Fun, Failed, Planning has messages but I'm not able to expand (via thunderbird) the folder Projects. I have this configured in dovecot.conf mail_location = maildir:/opt/gmail/joe:INBOX=/opt/gmail/joe/INBOX:LAYOUT=fs namespace private { separator = / list = yes } --- And this is what's getting logged... dovecot: Feb 18 07:26:39 Info: IMAP(joe): Namespace: type=private, prefix=, sep=/, inbox=no, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes dovecot: Feb 18 07:26:39 Info: IMAP(joe): maildir: data=/opt/gmail/joe:INBOX=/opt/gmail/joe/INBOX:LAYOUT=fs dovecot: Feb 18 07:26:39 Info: IMAP(joe): fs: root=/opt/gmail/joe, index=, control=, inbox=/opt/gmail/joe/INBOX

[Dovecot] Post login scripting and imapsync on user login
by Tomislav Mihalicek 18 Feb '11

18 Feb '11

Did anyone set up the enviroment in dovecot with post login scripting in which imapsync does sync between two mailservers on users login (on login sync mail from old to new mailserver) is there a alternative or different approach? something like #!/bin/bash /usr/bin/imapsync --syncinternaldates --nosyncacls --authmech1 PLAIN --host1 old.server.com --user1 $USER*master --password1 master --authmech2 PLAIN --host2 new.server.com --user2 $USER*master --password2 master exec /usr/lib/dovecot/imap "$@" thanx -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Post-login-scripting-and-imapsync-on-user-login-tp309… Sent from the Dovecot mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Dovecot] managesieve bug: UTF inside quoted-string

This has been probably fixed in meantime, because I use dovecot 1.1 still, but I'd like to get you to know. Use of UTF-8 characters inside quoted-string doesn't work.

[Dovecot] Upgrading Dovecot v1.0.10 -> v2.0.9
by Jackie Hunt 17 Feb '11

17 Feb '11

Hi all, OK, I admit it. I've seriously neglected our Dovecot installation. I installed version 1.0.10 in Jan 2008, and it has been a great workhorse since then. It has run like a champ, so it was ignored due to higher priority projects. But now it is time to get current with Dovecot, and I really need your help. We are using the mbox mailbox format. First so I want to upgrade to 2.0.9, since it looks like that is the latest version? It looks like development is still happening on the 1.x line, so do I need to get to the 2.x line? Any comments/suggestions/recommendations on that? I know there are major changes from 1.x -> 2.x.. Also, do I need to go through incremental upgrades? I'm guessing changes have been made to the index files and the dovecot configuration. Do those need to be done in steps, or can I made a major leap forward? I'd appreciate any input on this project. I need to start planning. Thanks so much! Jackie

[Dovecot] Problem with messages with long lines
by ZMA - Emiliano Mariño 17 Feb '11

17 Feb '11

Hello dear mailing list readers, Recently I am experimenting a problem trying to retrieve messages over a POP3 protocol. Everything goes right until the POP3 client tries to retrieve a message that contains one or more long lines lines as long as 3000 characters or even more. The client (Outlook 2003 and 2007) stops on that message until timeout. I have opened a connection manually to see what happens, and when I issue the RETR command on one of these messages, dovecot informs the message size and then nothing else. No message sending. Any other message works fine; I get the message size and next the message itself. I have upgraded to version 2.0.1 but I still get the same behavior. No error is reported on the server side. Logs indicate that everything is just fine. Any advice on how to solve this would be very appreciated. Here is the dovecot 2.0.1 configuration: ############################################################################ ####### # 2.0.1: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.23.1-42.fc8 i686 Fedora release 8 (Werewolf) auth_username_chars = abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ01234567890.-_@& auth_verbose = yes disable_plaintext_auth = no listen = * login_greeting = Dovecot DA ready. mail_access_groups = mail mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir passdb { args = username_format=%n /etc/virtual/%d/passwd driver = passwd-file } passdb { driver = shadow } service auth { user = root } ssl_cert = </etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt ssl_cipher_list = ALL:!ADH:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:-LOW:-SSLv2:-EXP ssl_key = </etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key/server.key userdb { args = username_format=%n /etc/virtual/%d/passwd driver = passwd-file } userdb { driver = passwd } verbose_proctitle = yes protocol pop3 { pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv } ############################################################################ ####### Thanks a lot for your time Kind regards, cid:image001.png@01CB7784.62522490 Emiliano Mariño Technical Analyst Senior <mailto:%20mkt4@zma.com.ar> tech7(a)zma.com.ar Larrea 1011 piso 8º | C1117ABE | Ciudad A. de Buenos Aires - ARGENTINA Tel: (5411) 4825-1602 | Fax: (5411) 4825-7692 <http://www.zma.com.ar/> www.zma.com.ar

[Dovecot] Dovecot + Exim + Maildir quota problem
by Matteo Tinazzi 17 Feb '11

17 Feb '11

Hi all i'm a new user of this list, i got a server with DirectAdmin which has exim as MUA, dovecot as POP/IMAP server, recently i added the quota to exim and pointed the maildirsize file in the same location if the dovecot's one so both services can interact with it. This has been done to let exim update the quotas while doing localdelivery while dovecot can show quotas through roundcube and update them when users delete mails. The issue that i noticed is that some users get wrong quota informations... after a little investigation i think it could be a concurrent access to this file so dovecot tries to remove the deleted mails fomr maildirsize and exim tries to put new ones inside. In a specific case i got a user with a quota of 50M seeing that 75% of his quota filled while the real weight of the mail files is about 4% ... any help would be very appreciated
