[Dovecot] Managesieve with multiple uid's
by Joseba Torre 22 Dec '10

22 Dec '10

Hi, I'm trying to setup a system with dovecot to remove the old courier one, and everything (pop3, imap, lmtp, quotas) but managesieve is working fine. It seems like it's a problem with each user having a separate uid, because I have a working similar setup with a single uid working without problems. In this system when I try to connect to the managesieve port using telnet I get no response: $ telnet localhost 4190 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1). Escape character is '^]'. ^] telnet> quit In the logs I see: Dec 21 14:16:30 v000148 dovecot: managesieve-login: Disconnected: Inactivity (no auth attempts): rip=10.0.4.25, lip=10.0.82.8 Dec 21 14:16:30 v000148 dovecot: managesieve-login: Error: auth: connect(login) in directory / failed: Permission denied (euid=102(<unknown>) egid=103(<unknown>) missing +x perm: /, euid is not dir owner) Dec 21 14:16:30 v000148 dovecot: managesieve-login: Error: auth: connect(login) in directory / failed: Permission denied (euid=102(<unknown>) egid=103(<unknown>) missing +x perm: /, euid is not dir owner) Dec 21 14:19:30 v000148 dovecot: managesieve-login: Disconnected: Inactivity (no auth attempts): rip=10.0.4.25, lip=10.0.82.

[Dovecot] Restarting dovecot-auth stops authentication
by Attila Nagy 22 Dec '10

22 Dec '10

Hi, The Dovecot wiki states that Dovecot's master restarts all died processes, which is good for availability. But when I kill dovecot/auth (to simulate an error condition which happened on a machine), the authentication fails with: Nov 16 14:32:40 be dovecot: imap: Error: net_connect_unix(auth-master) failed: No such file or directory It seems -albeit it gets restarted- dovecot/auth doesn't re-create its socket file. Before: # ls /var/run/dovecot/ anvil auth-worker doveadm-server anvil-auth-penalty config dovecot.conf auth-client dict empty auth-login director-admin lmtp auth-master director-userdb login auth-userdb dns-client master.pid # ps auwx | grep dovecot/auth dovecot 87455 0.0 0.0 20024 3832 ?? S 2:34PM 0:00.01 dovecot/auth # rm /var/run/dovecot/auth-master; kill 87455 # ps auwx | grep dovecot/auth dovecot 88815 0.0 0.0 20024 3776 ?? S 2:36PM 0:00.01 dovecot/auth # ls /var/run/dovecot/ anvil config dovecot.conf anvil-auth-penalty dict empty auth-client director-admin lmtp auth-login director-userdb login auth-userdb dns-client master.pid auth-worker doveadm-server I've deleted the auth-master socket because if I don't, you can't see that it's not re-created. :) Is this a normal behaviour? I understand that killing dovecot/auth is not, but Dovecot could survive this easily, if recreating and re-using the new socket file would work. And loosing dovecot/auth happens sometimes (I don't yet now why). Thanks,

[Dovecot] Moving email between folders outside of IMAP context
by Phil Howard 22 Dec '10

22 Dec '10

I'd like to run a script from cron that will scan certain mailboxes and move selected mail from one folder (usually INBOX) to another folder. The basic idea is to move previously detected spam based on headers prepended to the mail. Since I am not able to figure out how to get Postfix to invoke deliver with the -m option in these cases, and not in others, this is one idea I have come up with to deal with it. The big (hopefully obvious) complication seems to be getting the indexes updated. Is there a way to move mail this way AND then have the indexes updated to reflect that move (maybe even if regenerating the entire index all over again)? -- sHiFt HaPpEnS!

[Dovecot] shared boxes
by Tobias Daucher 22 Dec '10

22 Dec '10

Hi there, is it possible in any way to have private seen flags for users in a shared mailbox? http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Shared says no, but i'm not sure, if newer mailbox formats can do this... like mdbox oder something like that. thanks for your help Tobi --

[Dovecot] Maildir and Solaris UFS acls
by Tom Lieuallen 21 Dec '10

21 Dec '10

I have a centrally located shared imap folder location. We have several maildir folders with different file system permissions. They are for several groups of people who are loosely related for support purposes. All mail gets delivered to queue1 just fine. The files are group writable by group1. Some of the mail gets moved via imap to queue2. Queue2's maildir tree is configured with Solaris UFS acls such that any new files are read/write by group1 or group2. If a new file is created within queue2 anywhere, it has the correct permissions. However, if a message is moved from queue1 to queue2, it retains the permissions that it had within queue1. This is what happens if I use 'mv' within the file system, btw. Is there any way to configure dovecot such that if a person moves or copies a message to another imap folder, it creates a new file instead of doing a link or mv or whatever? If not, no problem; I was just hoping for an elegant solution to my particular problem. :-) queue1 - read/write by group1 queue2 - read/write by group1 & group2 through solaris ACLs BTW, if any file whatsoever in queue2 is not readable by group2, those in group2 cannot read _anything_ in queue2. thanks Tom Lieuallen
