[Dovecot] Released Pigeonhole Sieve v0.1.18 and ManageSieve v0.11.12 for Dovecot v1.2.15
by Stephan Bosch 05 Oct '10

05 Oct '10

Hello Dovecot users, The recent release of Dovecot v1.2.15 is a good opportunity to release new versions of Sieve and ManageSieve for Dovecot v1.2. These releases consist entirely of bugfixes and introduce no new features. Changelog Sieve v0.1.18: - Imap4flags: fixed segfault bug occuring in multiscript context. Occured in specific situations when a script using imap4flags was followed in the sequence by scripts not using imap4flags. - Imap4flags: fixed bug in setflag command; when parameter was a stringlist, only the last item was actually set. - Prevented assertion failure due to currupt binary string representation. If the string were missing a final \0 character an assertion was produced in stead of a binary corruption error. - Multiscript: fixed duplicate implicit keep caused by erroneous execution state update. - Fixed Sieve script name checking to properly handle length limit and added 0x00ff as invalid character. - Removed spurious old stdio.h (top) includes; these caused compile issues on specific systems. - Fixed default Sieve capability (as reported by ManageSieve): extra extensions spamtest, spamtestplus and virustest were enabled by default. These should, however, only be enabled when properly configured and there is no default configuration. - Variables extension: fixed :length set modifier to recognize utf8 characters in stead of octets. - Fixed unnecessary reporting of dummy extensions in ManageSieve SIEVE capability; the comparator-i;octet and comparator-i;ascii-numeric 'extensions' were reported explicitly. - LDA Sieve plugin: added _version symbol to enable Dovecot's plugin version check. Without this check, people can forget to recompile the plugin, which can lead to unexpected effects. Changelog ManageSieve v0.11.12: - Fixed error handling of PUTSCRIPT commmand; save commit errors would not make the command fail. - Fixed PUTSCRIPT bug causing it to hang when given an empty script name. The releases are available as follows: Sieve http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2-sieve-0.1.18.tar.gz http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2-sieve-0.1.18.tar.gz.sig ManageSieve http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2-managesieve-0.11.12.tar.gz http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2-managesieve-0.11.12.tar.gz.… ManageSieve patch http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2.15-managesieve-0.11.12.diff… http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2.15-managesieve-0.11.12.diff… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot wiki for more information. Have fun testing this new release and don't hesitate to notify me when there are any problems. Regards, -- Stephan Bosch stephan(a)rename-it.nl

[Dovecot] [2.0.5] quota in maildirsize doesn't work with mdbox
by interfaSys sàrl 04 Oct '10

04 Oct '10

Hello, I'm using mdbox to store messages and maildirsize to store quotas I have the following in my dovecot.conf mail_plugins = quota trash zlib fts fts_squat imap_quota imap_zlib antispam quota = maildir:User quota quota_rule = ?:storage=1G quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+10%% I noticed that the quotas were wrong, so I sent myself some emails in hope of seeing the ratio change to the correct values, but the amount of used space changed to the total of what was just received, not the total of what was in the mailbox. So I tried to recalculate the quota using doveadm quota recalc, but it didn't help, instead of recalculating the amount of used space, it just wrote 0 0 to maildirsize. Do I have a config problem or is someting broken in Dovecot? Cheers, Olivier

[Dovecot] v2.0.5 released
by Timo Sirainen 04 Oct '10

04 Oct '10

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/dovecot-2.0.5.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/dovecot-2.0.5.tar.gz.sig See the "ACL handling bugs" message for more details about the ACL merging bug. * acl: Fixed the logic of merging multiple ACL entries. Now it works as documented, while previously it could have done slightly different things depending on the order of the entries. * virtual: Allow opening virtual mailboxes that refer to non-existing mailboxes. It seems that the benefits of this outweigh the lack of error message when typoing a mailbox name. + Added some disk I/O optimizations to Maildir and index code. They're especially helpful with short-lived connections like POP3. + pop3: Added pop3_fast_size_lookups setting. - doveconf sometimes failed with complaining about missing ssl_key setting, causing e.g. dovecot-lda to fail. - lda: If there's an error in configuration, doveconf didn't exit with EX_TEMPFAIL as it should have. - sdbox: Fixed memory leak when copying messages with hard links. - zlib + sdbox combination didn't work - zlib: Fixed several crashes, which mainly showed up with mbox. - quota: Don't crash if user has quota disabled, but plugin loaded. - doveadm fetch uid was actually returning sequence, not uid. - v2.0.4's subscription listing ignored (and logged a warning about) subscriptions=no namespaces' entries in some configurations. (So listing shared mailboxes' subscriptions could have been broken.) - acl: Fixed crashing when sometimes listing shared mailboxes via dict proxy.

[Dovecot] Setting up the Director
by Jason 'XenoPhage' Frisvold 04 Oct '10

04 Oct '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, I'm trying to wrap my head around the Director and how it works, but I'm not having much luck finding documentation. Currently, I have two front end mail servers that use NFS for mail storage. I'm using Cisco's SLB for load balancing, though I may switch over to a server-based load balancing solution at some point. SLB works great, but it doesn't guarantee that a given user will stick to the same server. At least, not as it's configured now.. But, regardless, I want to move away from SLB so I can have a bit more control. If I want to implement the Director, do I need to have additional machines, or does it get configured on the front end mail machines? I'm thinking the former, but hoping for the latter.. :P Does anyone know of a really good write-up about the director and how it works? thanks, - --------------------------- Jason 'XenoPhage' Frisvold xenophage(a)godshell.com - --------------------------- "Any sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from technology." - - Niven's Inverse of Clarke's Third Law -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.14 (Darwin) iEYEARECAAYFAkypPLcACgkQ8CjzPZyTUTT+/QCfUpOS4mdc6hMCZLXAYIlnfOdL XfcAmgIH0n1peB1qHKSfIps0wQ8dbHxF =h8Xt -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

I've only experienced this with Thunderbird...maybe the "regular" berries have not configured their BIS accounts properly? The only problem I'm aware of with Blackberry devices is that if the BIS servers can't login because Dovecot is being upgraded (version mismatch), then they'll go into polling mode (no more instant emails).

Anyone has had differing experiences with different blackberries? Someone with Blackberry Gold/Bold get only 1 e-mail yet regualr blackberries get multiple copies of the same e-mials. Is this a blackberry bug or is their something I have to set in Dovecot? -- Member - Liberal International This is doctor(a)nl2k.ab.ca Ici doctor(a)nl2k.ab.ca God, Queen and country!

[Dovecot] SASL auth and proxy
by mailing＠securitylabs.it 02 Oct '10

02 Oct '10

Hello, I'm finding a way to have a pool of smtp-auth servers in front of my actuals servers to permit relay to our customers. Now users sends emails connecting to the right IP via mail.domain.tld, with authentication. Every server has it's own user database in mysql. I'd like to have a pool of server (with round robin, ideally with postfix + sasl + dovecot) that authenticate the users with the actuals servers and then pointing mail.domain.tld to this pool and not to one server. My trouble is how to authenticate users. Can I use: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Authentication/MultipleDatabases to tell Dovecot to authenticate with every MySQL database on the servers "behind"? If yes, is there a better way to do this considering I'm already using some proxy machines (dovecot) for pop3/imap and so I already have a db with domain.tld -> IP of the server? I also have some machine without a MySQL DB for users (vpopmail + cdb), so the option with MultipleDatabases will be good only for some machines. Something similar to the proxy mechanism that I already use for pop3/imsp will be good: the proxy connect to the machine behind that do the authentication, I only need a table with domain -> server IP (that I already have). Thanks for any advice.

[Dovecot] Dovecot v0.99.13-3 upgrade to 1.0.15-2 ??
by cajun 02 Oct '10

02 Oct '10

I've read some of the mailing lists looking for information on this. Thus far, about all I've found is there was a complete rewrite of Dovecot some time back. I'm wondering now is it even possible to use the same mbox's from 0.99.13-3 with version 1.0.15-2? Is there a procedure documented somewhere? Any pointers would be much appreciated.
