[Dovecot] v2.0.alpha1 released
by Timo Sirainen 16 Oct '09

16 Oct '09

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/alpha/dovecot-2.0.alpha1.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/alpha/dovecot-2.0.alpha1.tar.gz.sig So here's the first alpha version of Dovecot v2.0. There are still a couple of things left to do, but in general it should work for most people. I started using it for my own mails a few days ago and it seems to work without errors. Largest changes since v1.2: * Global ACLs are now looked up using namespace prefixes. For example if you previously had INBOX. namespace prefix and a global ACL for "INBOX.Sent", it's now looked up from "INBOX.Sent" file instead of "Sent" as before. + Redesigned master process. It's now more modular and there is less code running as root. + Configuration supports now per-local/remote ip/network settings. + dsync utility does a two-way mailbox synchronization. + LMTP server and proxying. + Added mdbox (multi-dbox) mail storage backend. + doveadm utility can be used to do all kinds of administration functions. Old dovecotpw and *view utilities now exist in its subcommands. Some things left to do: - Do something about backwards compatibility with v1.x. Either make it read v1.x config files or provide some config conversion utility. - dsync still has some bugs - config process is a bit too slow. config handling in general could use some caching all around. no need to ask configuration for each login unless there are per-remote-ip settings. - some kind of an optional connection policy server could be useful. mainly to finally implement tcp-wrappers support. - mail_uid, mail_gid, mail_chroot settings don't really work now. I think this actually needs a bit larger change, which is probably a good idea in any case: After successfully authenticating, login process needs to get imap/pop3 process executed. Currently this is done by transferring the connection fd to master process, doing userdb lookup and then forking and execing the imap/pop3 process. The new behavior I'm thinking is that after auth, login process would connect to imap/pop3 unix socket in the login/ directory. That would cause master process to fork a new imap/pop3 process (running as root). Login process would send the necessary auth information via the unix socket, possibly transfer also the fd, and imap/pop3 would do the userdb lookup and then drop privileges. This change has some pros: - Master process will no longer temporarily hold some extra fds and use extra memory during auth lookups. If auth process is hanging these could cause problems. - Master process will no longer have any special auth handling code and I can remove type=auth-source and type=auth services. - Of course fixes the mail_* setting issue, because all of this is now done by imap/pop3 process, which knows about these settings. - Creating support for "multiple imap/pop3 post-login connections in a single process" should be pretty easy to implement with this. The imap/pop3 unix socket just needs to be listened by a new process in the middle that keeps track of what imap/pop3 processes exist and can redirect the new connections to those. But also some cons: - drop_priv_before_exec=yes no longer works, unless the uid/gid is hardcoded to the service {} block. - Each imap/pop3 process needs to do a connect() to auth server at startup, adding a bit to the latency.

[Dovecot] "From" address in vacation response on hosted domains with dovecot/postfix/sieve
by Peter Borg 16 Oct '09

16 Oct '09

Hi, I have a working dovecot/postfix/sieve configuration: Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Dovecot 1.2.6 Sieve 0.1.12 Postfix 2.5.1 The server is configured to host multiple domains. All mail delivery, logins and aliases work absolutely perfectly. There's only one weirdness: the 'From' address in vacation responses. If a message is sent to user(a)hosteddomain.com the response comes from user-hosteddomain.com(a)hostingservername.com Obviously it's doing what one would expect in that it's taking the username (user-hosteddomain.com) and appending the local host name (hostingservername.com) This isn't great from the perspective of the hosted user, however, who'd much rather their vacation message was sent from their actual email address. Clearly I can modify this by using a ':from' statement in each relevant sieve file, but I can't rely on users' mail clients to set this (as not all do) and the webmail client in use on the server doesn't set this. I can almost certainly implement some kind of hack using this, but I'd rather not. So how does sieve determine the from address to use if it's not explicitly set in the sieve script for the user, and how can I direct sieve to determine the address differently, preferably with a central configuration option that will apply to all users regardless of domain.....? Regards, Peter.

[Dovecot] Internal server
by Guy 16 Oct '09

16 Oct '09

Hi, I'm looking at doing some testing for a little internal IMAP server. Basically use fetchmail (or some such thing to bring in mail) so users have a local IMAP server to connect to. I'm interested in trying out mdbox, but since I'd have to use dovecot 2.0 with it I thought I'd just check what peoples' experience with 2.0 is like so far? Is it reasonably stable already? Is there also a page showing the differences in config for dbox over maildir? Or is it simply just the change in mail_location and nothing else? Thanks Guy -- Don't just do something...sit there!

[Dovecot] Expire plugin: wrong mailbox separators in database?
by Andreas Ntaflos 16 Oct '09

16 Oct '09

Hi all, I'm experimenting with the expire plugin and seem have run into a small problem. I am using Dovecot 1.2.4 on a test server. The config is taken mostly verbatim from the expire plugin wiki page [1], using MySQL as a database. See below for detailed output. Namespace "private" has "/" configured as mailbox separator: namespace private { separator = / prefix = inbox = yes } The "expire =" section from dovecot.conf thus looks like this: plugin { expire = Trash 7 INBOX/Spam 8 INBOX/Spam/To-Discard 3 ... } Three mailboxes/folders are kept track of: Trash, INBOX/Spam and INBOX/Spam/Spam-To-Discard (this one holds messages that scored high enough to very unlikely be legitimate and should be deleted soon). But when a message is put into one of these folders the mailbox attribute of the expires table uses "." as mailbox separator: mysql> select * from expires; +-----------------+----------------------------+--------------+ | username | mailbox | expire_stamp | +-----------------+----------------------------+--------------+ | foo(a)example.org | INBOX.Spam.Spam-To-Discard | 1253114526 | | foo(a)example.org | INBOX.Spam | 1253114528 | +-----------------+----------------------------+--------------+ Consequently, expire-tool --test seems to choke on this: # dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/expire-tool --test Info: foo(a)example.org/INBOX.Spam.Spam-To-Discard: \ mailbox 'INBOX.Spam.Spam-To-Discard' removed from config Info: foo(a)example.org/INBOX.Spam: mailbox 'INBOX.Spam' \ removed from config When I manually update the mailbox attribute to use "/" as separator expire-tool seems to work correctly: # dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/expire-tool --test Info: foo(a)example.org/INBOX/Spam/Spam-To-Discard: stop, expire \ time in future: Wed Sep 16 17:22:06 2009 Using "." as separator in the "expire =" line doesn't work either: the expires table isn't written to at all when a message is put in one of the specified folders. Presumably because INBOX/Spam is the real mailbox but INBOX.Spam is monitored by the expire plugin and there is no INBOX.Spam to put in messages. So I believe this is not the expected behaviour? Or am I doing anything wrong? I'd rather not change the separator from "/" to "." in all the namespaces if that can be avoided.
