[Dovecot] Expunge -A cannot find users
by Kilburn Abrahams 08 Nov '10

08 Nov '10

Hi List, If I use doveadm expunge in this format expunge will delete the email doveadm expunge -u test(a)planetseafood.com mailbox Archive ON '8-Nov-2010' But in this format doveadm expunge -A mailbox Archive ON '8-Nov-2010', it will list all the users in the database and display the following and no messages are expunged. doveadm(test@planetseafood.com@planetseafood.com): Info: User no longer exists, skipping. The iterate_query = SELECT username AS username, domain FROM mailbox which is correct for the DB layout. I am not using the expire plugin. Is this a permissions issue? Thanks Kilburn

[Dovecot] Estimación de horas del cambio a Dovecot 2.0
by Antonio Perez-Aranda 08 Nov '10

08 Nov '10

Actualmente tenemos dovecot 1.2.15 que ha demostrado ser bastante estable, pero con el que podemos tener problemas de corrupción en ficheros de índices de Dovecot (dovecot-uidlist). Este problema, podría llegar a ocasionar la descarga de todos los correos desde el cliente del usuario. En Dovecot 2.0 tenemos una mejor gestión sobre NFS mediante un nuevo sistema llamado director. Con este director se consigue que dovecot haga a su vez de proxy/balanceador e intente direccionar las conexiones de un usuario a un mismo servidor si este permite conexiones. En resumen, conseguimos evitar escrituras "concurrentes" sobre cachés de NFS que podrían ocasionar corrupción en determinados índices de dovecot. Para este cambio básicamente deberíamos repetir ciertas pruebas que hemos realizado para dovecot 1.2 así como ciertas tareas. 1. Actualizar configuración 2. Actualizar plugin TrataSPAM (MarcaSPAM/DesmarcaSPAM) Usando skel creado por Timo durante las sesiones de Málaga. 3. Pruebas de tiempos de indexado con SQUAT 4. Búsquedas concurrentes. 5. Pruebas de IMAP IDLE. 6. Migración { Keywords, suscriptions, flags, status...} 7. Condiciones de estrés. 8. Actualizar Doc. En una primera estimación. El total de estas tareas no debería superar las 45-50 horas. A cambio obtendríamos: 1. Un mejor soporte por parte de Timo. 2. doveadm para realizar búsquedas, gestión del director, pruebas de depuración... 3. Mejoras en el comportamiento ante storage en NFS. 4. Mejoras en la coordinación con SOLR para cuando comencemos con el buscador avanzado con ficheros adjuntos. 5. Mejoras para conexiones concurrentes. La razón por la que no empezamos directamente con dovecot 2.0 es porque no preveíamos que fuera relativamente estable en poco tiempo. Observando la lista de correos y después de la conversación con Timo, la última release de dovecot 2.0 es lo suficientemente estable como para usarse en sistemas de producción. Si lo creéis necesario, podemos organizar una reunión para tomar la decisión, aunque sí que esta reunión debería ser para esta semana o a principios de la siguiente.

Summarising mail standards (WRT headers) There is a limit of 4096 characters per line. If Outlook is breaking at less than that it's a bug. If the References: line is longer than that then it should have been truncated by the sending MUA - there's no provision for multiline References headers (which are a non-standardised import from Usenet anyway).

Hello, I installed dovecot 2.0.6 and pigeonhole 0.2.1 on my system, but I guess that sieve is not working, because netstat does not show that anything is listening to ports 2000 and 4190.

[Dovecot] Last login tracking with login_executable
by Denny Lin 07 Nov '10

07 Nov '10

Hi, I'm using Dovecot 1.2.14, and I've read PostLoginScripting on the wiki. Is there any way to make Dovecot use the same username/password for database access as userdb and passdb queries? Specifying the password with -p doesn't seem like a good idea, so I'm wondering if it can be handled by Dovecot directly. Or is it possible to track last logins with a plugin similar to quota? -- Denny Lin

[Dovecot] Keep a copy of email.
by Henrique Fernandes 07 Nov '10

07 Nov '10

Can dovecot-lda, keep a copy of any email that it receives in a diferente folder ? Like if user(a)domain.com get an email. It goes to user(a)domain.com inbox and goes to other folder..diferente that his mailboxes ? I want this with all users. Can it be done ? If not, does any one have any ideia how could it be done ? We are having serius problems with backups, with this we gona be able to at least save one or two days of each emails, than rotate them again. I though about using postfix always_bcc, but would be everyones emails only in one account. Though in migh use sieve for filter this acount and separete it for each folder.. but i don't guess sieve could get a parameter from the email to make a filter.. or can it ? like, if email from user2(a)domain.com it goes to user2 folder, but this user2 would be variable, otherwise i have to create a sieve too bigm and would work i guess. Well, i am open to ideas. Thanks! []'sf.rique

[Dovecot] Getting plugin config by user
by Alex Baule 05 Nov '10

05 Nov '10

There is a native way to set/get a configuration to one plugin, to various users ? Like this: my_plugin{ user_a=configurations user_b=configurations user_...... user_z=configurations } I Have plugin and it can be enable/disabled by user. And i have a lot of users, like 10 m. i think if i do like this: my_plugin { configurations=user_a,user_b,user....,user_z } Can get much memory to read every line of configuration... Tks !
