[Dovecot] cmusieve and logging
by cool.chris65＠web.de 18 Oct '10

18 Oct '10

Hello, is there a way to write a logfile during sieve-actions? At least, I have trouble in reading sieve-scripts with tools from kmail ("connection refused) or thunderbird (timed out: server does not answer). There is no problem with the mailbox itself in reading or writing in it. The config for Sieve: dovecot.conf: ## ## LDA specific settings ## protocol lda { # Address to use when sending rejection mails. postmaster_address = christoph@localhost # Hostname to use in various parts of sent mails, eg. in Message-Id. # Default is the system's real hostname. #hostname = # Support for dynamically loadable plugins. mail_plugins is a space separated # list of plugins to load. # Binary to use for sending mails. #sendmail_path = /usr/lib/sendmail # UNIX socket path to master authentication server to find users. #auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master debug = yes log_path = /var/log/dovecot/dovecot-deliver-errors.log info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot/dovecot-deliver.log # Enabling Sieve plugin for server-side mail filtering mail_plugins = cmusieve } plugin { # Here you can give some extra environment variables to mail processes. # This is mostly meant for passing parameters to plugins. %variable # expansion is done for all values. #sieve = /var/sieve-scripts/%u/sieve sieve=~/.dovecot.sieve # Quota plugin. Multiple backends are supported: # dirsize: Find and sum all the files found from mail directory. # Extremely SLOW with Maildir. It'll eat your CPU and disk I/O. # dict: Keep quota stored in dictionary (eg. SQL) # maildir: Maildir++ quota # fs: Read-only support for filesystem quota #quota = maildir # ACL plugin. vfile backend reads ACLs from "dovecot-acl" file from maildir # directory. You can also optionally give a global ACL directory path where # ACLs are applied to all users' mailboxes. The global ACL directory contains # one file for each mailbox, eg. INBOX or sub.mailbox. #acl = vfile:/etc/dovecot-acls # Convert plugin. If set, specifies the source storage path which is # converted to destination storage (mail_location) when the user logs in. # The existing mail directory is renamed to <dir>-converted. #convert_mail = mbox:%h/mail # Skip mailboxes which we can't open successfully instead of aborting. #convert_skip_broken_mailboxes = no # Trash plugin. When saving a message would make user go over quota, this # plugin automatically deletes the oldest mails from configured mailboxes # until the message can be saved within quota limits. The configuration file # is a text file where each line is in format: <priority> <mailbox name> # Mails are first deleted in lowest -> highest priority number order #trash = /etc/dovecot-trash.conf # Lazy expunge plugin. Currently works only with maildirs. When a user # expunges mails, the mails are moved to a mailbox in another namespace # (1st). When a mailbox is deleted, the mailbox is moved to another namespace # (2nd) as well. Also if the deleted mailbox had any expunged messages, # they're moved to a 3rd namespace. The mails won't be counted in quota, # and they're not deleted automatically (use a cronjob or something). #lazy_expunge = .EXPUNGED/ .DELETED/ .DELETED/.EXPUNGED/ } and postfix as LDA: ... mailbox_command = /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver ... There are much logentrys about dovecot, devivering and mail, but no sieve- entrys in any log. Hope you can help me, Greets, Christoph PS the system: fritz!box (mipsel-cpu) debian etch (and backports; lenny + dovecot does not run with this environment) dovecot and postfix from etch-backports -- GPG-Fingerprint: 171A 6F66 52E5 A6CE D664 2427 832F E711 7442 8261

[Dovecot] After Upgrade to Dovecot 2.0.5 SSL problems
by derunfehlbare＠freenet.de 18 Oct '10

18 Oct '10

Hi, I've upgraded my Dovecot from 1.2 to 2.0.5. Everything is working fine on my Gentoo, also login with imaps and pop3s. But: I have in my config autocreate folders for new users. After creating a new user (with PostfixAdmin) I see in my logfile with SSL enabled this: imap-login: Warning: SSL alert: where=0x4004, ret=560: fatal unknown CA [127.0.0.1] With SSL-disable, autocreation folders for new users is no problem. I've searched a fiew days for a solution, but I did not find anything. Also dovecot-page what describes running SSL does not help me. Here are the relevant config-sniplets: plugin { autocreate = Trash autocreate2 = Sent autocreate3 = Junk autocreate4 = Drafts autosubscribe = Trash autosubscribe2 = Sent autosubscribe3 = Junk autosubscribe4 = Drafts } service imap-login { inet_listener imap { address = * port = 143 } inet_listener imaps { address = * port = 993 } } ssl = yes ssl = yes ssl_cert =

[Dovecot] Backup recovery with mdbox
by Andre Nathan 18 Oct '10

18 Oct '10

Hello I'm using mdbox for mail storage. I'd like to give users an option to recover backups into a new folder, say, Backup-$date. Is there a simple way to do this? I was looking at tools like dsync and doveadm-altmove but apparently they're not intended for this kind of stuff. Thanks in advance, Andre

I'm concerned with the very same question. I currently have 1.2.12 running very well and I see risk in an upgrade to ver 2.x. Unless of course the benefits outweigh the risks. I have been carefully watching the ver 2.x tree rev from week to week and I await the defacto signal from people that it is in fact at least as solid at 1.2.12, that signal being adoption by people in busy mail servers. So therefore I await ver 2.0.6 with a mix of conflicting anticipation and trepidation. :-) -- Dennis Clarke dclarke(a)opensolaris.ca <- Email related to the open source Solaris dclarke(a)blastwave.org <- Email related to open source for Solaris

There is still a rather large number of Solaris 8 Sparc servers out there running in production and based on the conversations I have had with some sysadmins they will upgrade them when the smoke comes out. That could be another five years. So, before you say "stability has less to do with that" you should see the horrendous work it takes to port an app from the open source world ( usually Linux people with tons of Linux-isms/GCC-isms in it ) over to an old POSIX/XPG4 ( POSIX.1-1990, POSIX.2-1992, POSIX.1b-1993, POSIX.1c-1996 etc ) compliant UNIX.

Hi all, Is possible to split dovecot.conf with a very very big plugin {} section? Maybe, some like apache with sites-enabled.d Then, we could have a file per plugin.

[Dovecot] Version checks and API/ABI/sonames
by Axel Thimm 18 Oct '10

18 Oct '10

Hi, pigeonhole/sieve check against dovecot's version comparing to what they have been built against. This means that whenever there is a minor version of dovecot released pigeonhole/sieve need to be rebuilt and then redistributed to users even if there is no need for it (I'm thinking of packaged versions of dovecot and dovecot-pigeonhole). Could the checks become ABI-version aware, so that rebuilds and redistribution are kept to a minimum? Maybe Timo is already keeping API/ABI stability between minor updates, so the version checks should be against the first two version components only. Thanks! -- http://thimm.gr/ - http://ATrpms.net/
