[Dovecot] Problem with expunge
by Jeff Mitchell 18 Dec '10

18 Dec '10

I'm running Dovecot 2.0.8. The other day I tested doveadm expunge on a test Inbox with a few messages received over the course of a day, and using savedbefore <a few hours>, and it seemed to work. However, today I was testing converting some maildirs over to sdbox, and noticed odd behavior: it's deleting all messages in the specified folder instead of just the ones matching the condition I'm using ("savedbefore 4w"). The command I'm using is "doveadm -Dv expunge -A mailbox Trash savedbefore 4w" Because of the conversion, all of the ctimes for all of the files are actually the same (basically, a few minutes ago), due to the converstion to sdbox from maildir, so I would expect that either it doesn't delete any of them or looks inside at some header of the mail (half of which was received/placed into Trash before 4w ago and half of which wasn't). I definitely don't expect full-on deletion... Any idea what's going on? Thanks, Jeff

Re: [Dovecot] Namespace subscription issue

The same issue appears to exist with the shipping version of Dovecot on Mac OS X Server 10.6+. I have shared namespaces that cause this same issue (and your subsequent issues with roundcube). -- Eric N. Jones Sr. Engineer TransWare Enterprises Inc.

[Dovecot] dovecot 2.0.8 LDA with MYSQL issues
by PA 17 Dec '10

17 Dec '10

Hi, after deciding to use Dovecot 2.0.8 as a postfix LDA using mysql DB I'm running into some issues. I started to follow, http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/DovecotLDAPostfixAdminMySQL but noticed that the auth settings on the config changed, after looking through the dovecot wiki I think I have that issue fixed. However I still can't get the SQL part to work right, below is what I have on the conf.d/sql.conf and the error I get. service dovecot status doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /usr/local/etc/dovecot/conf.d/sql.conf line 1: Unknown setting: password_query Where do I put the sql connect string, in the URL above that along with the driver type went on the sql.conf file but that is no longer the case. If anyone has a better reference/suggestions for what im trying to do I would appreciated it. Thanks, Paul [root@testip5 conf.d]# cat sql.conf password_query = SELECT userid as user, password FROM users WHERE userid = '%u' user_query = SELECT uid, gid, '/var/vmail/%d/%n' as home FROM users WHERE userid = '%u' [root@testip5 conf.d]# dovecot -n # 2.0.8: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.18-194.el5PAE i686 CentOS release 5.5 (Final) ext3 auth_mechanisms = plain login cram-md5 first_valid_uid = 101 last_valid_uid = 101 login_greeting = MegaNet Mail Server Ready. mail_gid = vmail mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%u mail_uid = vmail passdb { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/conf.d/sql.conf driver = sql } plugin { acl = vfile:/usr/local/etc/dovecot/acls quota = maildir:storage=10240:messages=1000 trash = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/conf.d/trash.conf } protocols = imap pop3 userdb { driver = prefetch } userdb { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/conf.d/sql.conf driver = sql } doveconf: Error: ssl enabled, but ssl_cert not set doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf: ssl enabled, but ssl_cert not set

[Dovecot] namespace and list=children inconsistencies
by Holger Mauermann 17 Dec '10

17 Dec '10

Hi, after setting up a new Dovecot server with shared and public namespaces, both with hidden=no and list=children, I see some inconsistency in the folder listing. . NAMESPACE * NAMESPACE (("" "/")) (("Shared/" "/")) (("Public/" "/")) . OK Namespace completed. . LIST "" * * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "INBOX" * LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "/" "Shared/user(a)do.main" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Shared/user(a)do.main/INBOX" * LIST (\HasChildren) "/" "Public" . OK List completed. . LIST "Shared/" * * LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "/" "Shared/user(a)do.main" . OK List completed. . LIST "Public/" * . OK List completed. With LIST "Shared/" the other users INBOX is missing, so with namespace capable clients like Thunderbird it is impossible to see or subscribe this folder. The "Public/" namespace has some subfolders, but only for other acl_groups and I don't have rights to access any of them. So the LIST "Public/" looks good. However, with LIST "" * it is shown without the trailing slash and with \HasChildren where it should be hidden. Here is the relevant doveconf -n output: ... namespace { list = children location = maildir:%%h/Maildir:INDEX=~/shared/%%u prefix = Shared/%%u/ separator = / subscriptions = no type = shared } namespace { list = children location = cydir:/var/spool/imap/public:INDEX=~/public prefix = Public/ separator = / subscriptions = no type = public } ...

[Dovecot] Permission denied
by Alex Cherniak 17 Dec '10

After several trouble free months and without any obvious reason our server just stopped working. I cannot even re-start it: [root@dsmail /]# service dovecot start Starting Dovecot Imap: Can't open log file /var/log/dovecot.log: Permission denied If I create those manually (touch /var/log/dovecot.log, .../dovecot_info.log, .. dovecot_debug.log) service starts, but reports an error in dovecot.log: "Dec 16 14:55:30 master: Error: symlink(/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf, /var/run/dovecot/dovecot.conf) failed: Permission denied" and users still cannot login. Where do I start troubleshooting?
