[Dovecot] expire-tool complains in 1.2
by LEVAI Daniel 07 Jul '09

Hi! I've upgrade from 1.1 to 1.2, and one thing I noticed, that when running expire-tool, I get this error: # /usr/local/sbin/dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/expire- tool Info: Loading modules from directory: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap Info: Module loaded: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap/lib10_quota_plugin.so Info: Module loaded: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap/lib20_expire_plugin.so Info: Quota root: name= backend=maildir args= Info: Quota rule: root= mailbox=* bytes=104857600 messages=0 Info: Quota rule: root= mailbox=Trash bytes=52428800 messages=0 Info: expire: No expire or expire_altmove settings - plugin disabled Here is how I have defined an "expire" setting in dovecot.conf: plugin { [...] expire = SA.* 1 expire_dict = proxy::expire [...] } # dovecot -n # 1.2.0: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: OpenBSD 4.5 i386 log_path: /var/log/mail/dovecot.log info_log_path: /var/log/mail/dovecot.info protocols: pop3 pop3s imap listen: 212.92.15.17 127.0.0.1 ssl: required ssl_cert_file: /etc/ssl/dovecot_cert.pem ssl_key_file: /etc/ssl/private/dovecot_key.pem login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login login_user: _dovecot login_max_processes_count: 10 max_mail_processes: 490 first_valid_uid: 8000 first_valid_gid: 8000 mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir/ mail_debug: yes mail_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugins: quota expire mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3 imap_client_workarounds(default): outlook-idle delay-newmail imap_client_workarounds(imap): outlook-idle delay-newmail imap_client_workarounds(pop3): pop3_client_workarounds(default): pop3_client_workarounds(imap): pop3_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh auth default: mechanisms: plain digest-md5 ntlm user: _dv_auth master_user_separator: * verbose: yes passdb: driver: passwd-file args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.passdb_master pass: yes master: yes passdb: driver: passwd-file args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.passdb userdb: driver: passwd-file args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.userdb socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: _postfix group: _postfix master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 288 user: vmail group: vmail plugin: quota: maildir quota_rule: *:storage=100M quota_rule2: Trash:storage=50M expire: SA.* 1 expire_dict: proxy::expire dict: expire: pgsql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-expire-sql.conf # cat dovecot-dict-expire-sql.conf connect = host=localhost dbname=dovecot user=<username> password=<password> map { pattern = shared/expire/$user/$mailbox table = expires value_field = expire_stamp fields { username = $user mailbox = $mailbox } } What am I doing wrong?

[Dovecot] AUTH PLAIN error with Thunderbird and Dovecot 1.2
by Bernhard Schmidt 07 Jul '09

07 Jul '09

Hi, a few days ago I started to get some complaints about authentication delays from Thunderbird POP3 users. After some debugging it turned out that the problem was introduced somewhere between 1.2rc3 and 1.2rc7 (1.2.0 is still affected). A session with Thunderbird 2.0.0.22 against 1.2rc3 looks like this: <<< +OK Dovecot ready. >>> CAPA <<< +OK <<< CAPA <<< TOP <<< UIDL <<< RESP-CODES <<< PIPELINING <<< STLS <<< USER <<< SASL PLAIN LOGIN <<< . >>> AUTH PLAIN <<< + >>> <base64> <<< +OK Logged in. and with 1.2.0 (same client, same config, just replaced the server binaries) <<< +OK Dovecot ready. >>> CAPA <<< +OK <<< CAPA <<< TOP <<< UIDL <<< RESP-CODES <<< PIPELINING <<< STLS <<< USER <<< SASL PLAIN LOGIN <<< . >>> AUTH PLAIN [ 2 seconds delay ] <<< -ERR Authentication failed. >>> AUTH LOGIN [ 5 seconds delay ] <<< + <base64> >>> <base64> <<< + <base64> >>> <base64> <<< +OK Logged in.

[Dovecot] troubles with broken clients (iPhone) - again
by Federico Bianchi 07 Jul '09

07 Jul '09

The PC (Outlook) is accessing the mailbox via POP3, the iPhone is using IMAP; please consider we are talking about a user's home setup, so it's pretty difficult to have a more detailed report on his part (Outlook version, iPhone OS version, xDSL router type and configuration, etc.). The mail server 'dovecot -n' output is attached. The symptoms: when the Mail application is "closed" on the iPhone, Outlook still says the mailbox is in use; a Dovecot imap process is still active for that user even after a few minutes (manually killing it releases the lock, thereby leaving the inbox available for Outlook). >From the client side, there is a seemingly relevant article at http://blogs.sun.com/chienr/entry/iphone_supports_imap_idle it describes, among others, the "Settings / Mail / Auto-Check" and "Settings / General / Auto-Lock" parameters; from my point of view, however, being able to solve the problem directly on the server would be far better, and might also accomodate other broken clients we haven't seen yet: that's why I asked you whether there is a way to tell Dovecot only one POP3 or IMAP process from the same user, the latest one, can be active at the same time, closing and disconnecting all the others.

I'm sure that isn't an authentication problem. I've tried some days to understand and to find over internet and here in the dovecot mailing list but I've not find a solution yet. I think it's a dovecot internal bug. Someone know what I'm talking about?" Set permissions on the mail folder to 2775 because dovecot runs as its own user and group and you need the mail file in that folder to accept writes from mail and from dovecot groups. Also in the config file dovecot.conf you need to specify if the files are maildir or mbox. They are probably mbox but try both for the error messages.

[Dovecot] Released Sieve v0.1.7 and ManageSieve v0.11.6 for Dovecot v1.2.0
by Stephan Bosch 07 Jul '09

07 Jul '09

Hello Dovecot users, I hereby release new versions of the Sieve packages for the recently released Dovecot v1.2.0 (Congrats Timo!). Apart from small changes to make things compile with Dovecot again, a few other bugs were fixed as well. Unfortunately, the (FreeBSD-specific) 8kb script truncation bug remains. Although it is reported for Dovecot v1.1.16, I see no reason why it should not surface in v1.2.0 as well. Any help is appreciated. Changelog Sieve v0.1.7: + Improved consistency of sieve tool documentation and fixed missing parameters in internal tool help output. + Enhanced extensions configuration, allowing to specify the enabled extensions relatively to the default (patch by Steffen Kaiser). - Forgot to initialize script execution status in Sieve plugin, causing segfaults on compile errors in specific conditions. - Fixed logging in Sieve plugin for execution of default main script (went to STDERR). Changelog ManageSieve v0.11.6: * Adjusted to changes in Dovecot regarding client idle timeout vs authentication timeout. This release now depends on Dovecot v1.2.rc6 or newer. - Fixed CRLF line breaks in compile errors (bug reported by Pascal Volk). - Corrected directory/file creation behavior with respect to mode bits and gid (bug reported by Pascal Volk). - Improved handling of script truncation bugs: connection is now closed and and error is logged (bug itself not fixed yet). - Prevented temp script name from showing up in error output. -- The releases are available as follows: Sieve: http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2-sieve-0.1.7.tar.gz http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2-sieve-0.1.7.tar.gz.sig ManageSieve (package + patch): http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2-managesieve-0.11.6.tar.gz http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2-managesieve-0.11.6.tar.gz.s… http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2.0-managesieve-0.11.6.diff.gz http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2.0-managesieve-0.11.6.diff.g… -- Have fun testing the new releases and don't hesitate to notify me when there are problems.

[Dovecot] Dovecot-sieve version compatability
by Phill Edwards 07 Jul '09

07 Jul '09

I'm thinking of upgrading my dovecot version to 1.2 so that I can use the Dovecot sieve plugin instead of the CMU Sieve plugin. My RPM repo for dovecot is ATrpms so I could get dovecot-1.2.0-0_95.el5.i386.rpm from the bleeding ATrpms repo. Would this be compatible with dovecot-sieve-1.1.6-9.el5.i386.rpm which is in the stable repo, or would I need to find a later dovecot-sieve version somewhere? Regards, Phill
