[Dovecot] Virtual Plugin
by Darvin Denmian 01 Oct '09

01 Oct '09

I activated Dovecot's Virtual Plugin in my configuration and created dovecot-virtual file with the following content: [quote] # ~/Maildir/virtual/Flagged/dovecot-virtual * flagged [quote] When I flag some messages these messages automatically appears inside my Virtual Folder called "Flagged", but once inside this folder , when I "Unflag" the message, It doesn't disapear from my virtual folder. Is this expected? I'm using dovecot12-1.2.5-2.1 on a Opensuse 11.1 I hope you understand my brazilian english :) Thanks

[Dovecot] How many concurrent IMAP sessions?
by Patrick Ben Koetter 01 Oct '09

01 Oct '09

Has anybody ever bothered to measure how many concurrent IMAP sessions dovecot can handle? I know it depends on hardware, filesystem, mailbox type etc., but what exactly controls the number and what have people on the list measured? p@rick -- state of mind Digitale Kommunikation http://www.state-of-mind.de Franziskanerstraße 15 Telefon +49 89 3090 4664 81669 München Telefax +49 89 3090 4666 Amtsgericht München Partnerschaftsregister PR 563

[Dovecot] deliver doesn't support !include directive, mail is bounced
by Christoph Berkemeier 30 Sep '09

30 Sep '09

Hello, dovecot deliver is used here as a LDA. When I add !include /usr/local/etc/$INCLUDE.FILE to my dovecot.conf I get this error in the maillog: relay=local, delay=0.04, delays=0.02/0/0/0.02, dsn=5.3.5, status=bounced (local configuration error. Command output: Fatal: Error in config file /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf: deliver doesn't support !include directive /usr/local/etc/$INCLUDE.FILE contains: listen: $HOSTNAME ssl_cert_file: /etc/$FILE ssl_key_file: /etc/$FILE auth_krb5_keytab = /etc/$FILE It would be nice if this bug gets fixed or a comment add, that you can not use include, when you use deliver as your LDA.

[Dovecot] deliver: Fatal: setgid(114) failed with euid=8, gid=8, egid=8: Operation not permitted
by Fredriksson Turbo 30 Sep '09

30 Sep '09

I'm calling 'deliver' from Postfix and in some cases from Procmail. I set this system up more than six months ago and it's been working flawlessly until yesterday (16:52:19 local time) when it, without any apparent reason, just stopped delivering mails! Lots of checking and googling (I've forgot how exacly I setup the system :), I made 'deliver' SUID and it worked again... But it seems that all mails that was received between 16:52:19 and 11:07:52 (which was the last mail that couldn't be delivered) is lost! Is there any way to avoid mails being lost for reasons such as this? Is this a Postfix, Procmail or Dovecot thing? This system runs on a Ubuntu Intrepid: Postfix v2.5.5-1 Procmail v3.22-16ubuntu3 Dovecot v1:1.1.4-0ubuntu1.3 Thinking it over again (when double checking this mail), it might have been a automatic "de-SUID thingie or other" in Ubuntu. If memory serves me right, there used to be something like that in Debian long ago... But for whatever reason it DID happen, I'd appreciate an idea on how to avoid loosing mails if something happens to the delivery process...

[Dovecot] sieve & vacation - ignores "days" parameter
by Jacek Osiecki 30 Sep '09

30 Sep '09

Hi, I am going further with dovecot configuration. Finally managed to configure roundcube 0.3 with managesieve plugin. And it works, although... not perfectly :( For some issues probably roundcube-managesieve is guilty, but simply the sieve plugins seems to work wrong. Here is my sieve file: require ["vacation","fileinto"]; # rule:[wakacje] if anyof (true) { vacation :days 7 text: I am on vacation . ; } # rule:[silver-save] elsif allof (header :is "From" "joshua(a)hybrid.pl") { fileinto "myown"; stop; } And it seems, that sieve ignores ":days 7" parameter. Every time I send the email to this account, I receive the automatic answer. Maybe I misconfigured something? Where does vacation plugin store the information on emails that have already received the automatic answer? Best regards, -- Jacek Osiecki joshua(a)ceti.pl GG:3828944 I don't want something I need.

[Dovecot] dbox: maildir migration
by Timo Sirainen 30 Sep '09

30 Sep '09

I'm trying to clean up the code for Dovecot v2.0 and I just keep coming back to the same thought: Is having the super-fast maildir -> single-dbox migration really actually a good idea? Some problems with it: 1. Makes the code more complex.. And I've already fixed many bugs related to that, maybe not all. 2. Having some mails in maildir format and others in dbox format isn't really good in long term. The super-fast migration was mainly meant to be used as a quick and easy way to start using dbox and then slowly convert maildir files to dbox files. 3. There's currently no way to actually convert the migrated maildir files to dbox format. And I'm not really sure how such a tool would even be used. "doveadm -u <username> dbox convert-old-maildir-files" run one user at a time?.. Maybe a better alternative would be to simply do a proper full migration to dbox format, a few users at a time so disk I/O wouldn't explode? dsync especially could be helpful here. convert plugin could be replaced with a dsync plugin and then a migration could be done with: 1. Run a "pre-migration" dsync for n users (not absolutely required, but a good idea to avoid login delays). 2. Enable dsync plugin for the users (or this could be enabled always). 3. Switch users to dbox format. 4. Run a "post-migration" dsync for the users. If any user logged in before the post-migration was finished, the dsync plugin would finish the migration for that user. 5. Goto 1 with another set of users, repeat until finished with all users.

[Dovecot] getmail and Dovecot LDA deliver
by spacejam 29 Sep '09

29 Sep '09

Hello, my first post in this list. Hope it's the right place.:-) I'm having a problem running getmail together with Dovecot LDA for virtual users. To achive this I let getmail run under the user that owns the virtual email accounts-root. The problem is that getmail is running under the user vmail and therefore the emails received will be put into vmail's mailbox. But the emails getmail collected are actually for a virtual Dovecot user which has its maildir in a subdirectory of vmails home. The settings for the virtual users seem to be okay: I can login on Dovecot with virtual user account and I can send emails to Postfix for the virtual user. Postfix correctly uses devlier with the name of the virtual user and so the emails are going to the correct directory. For me it seems that getmail always uses the username under which getmail is currently running. As this must be a local user, getmails always announces this local user to deliver and deliver therefore puts the emails into the wrong account. My question is: How do I let deliver know that it should use a virtual user? I tried with the -d agrument in my getmail rc File, but deliver never accepts the parameter -d (always says unknown parameter -d). I tried as well to let getmail or deliver to be run as root, but then the emails will be delivered to roots home, which is not the goal too... Does anyone know a way how I can set getmail to handle emails for a virtual account properly? Any hint is appreciated as it already costed me hours of try-and-error Regards tobi -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/getmail-and-Dovecot-LDA-deliver-tp24896318p24896318.h… Sent from the Dovecot mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
