[Dovecot] Postfix + Dovecot + Sieve + SpamAssassin
by Sascha Scandella 10 Apr '09

10 Apr '09

Hello Until now I used Postfix in combination with Procmail and Dovecot. I am convinced that the Dovecot Sieve plugin is a much more elegant solution. So I changed to Postfix + Dovcecot Deliver + Dovecot + Sieve. If I understood correctly I cannot call other applications within a Sieve script. Until now I used Procmail to filter Spam Messages with SpamAssassin. Is there a possibility to filter spam messages before/after Dovecot deliver. I want to use the users .spammassassin user_prefs located in their home folder. I suppose if I use a content filter in Postfix this is to early, since the user is not known at that moment. Or am I wrong? Any help is highly appreciated. Best regards, Sascha

[Dovecot] About "Status" to the header
by ogu_yo＠yahoo.co.jp 10 Apr '09

10 Apr '09

hi list, I'd like to know about "Status" to the header on dovecot. I can see the "Status" to the header in /var/spool/mail/user if I check mail by using mutt, but I cannot see "Status" to the header if I check mail by using evolution, thunderbird etc. - /var/spool/mail/user -------------------------------------- To: test(a)test.example.com Subject: test Status: RO Content-Length: 0 Lines: 0 -------------------------------------- Then, there is a question. Which one is the reason of that cannot see "Status" to the header with evolution and thunderbird? - there isn't "Status" to the header - there is "Status" to the header, but just cannot see Thanks in advance. Regards, Yoko -------------------------------------- Power up the Internet with Yahoo! Toolbar. http://pr.mail.yahoo.co.jp/toolbar/

Hello! I have used Dovecot for more than a year without problems, but today it just crashed with this message: dovecot: Apr 09 21:23:38 Panic: file mempool-system.c: line 104 (pool_system_realloc): assertion failed: (old_size == (size_t)-1 || mem == NULL || old_size <= malloc_usable_size(mem)) dovecot: Apr 09 21:23:38 Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/local/sbin/dovecot [0x805757c] -> /usr/local/sbin/dovecot [0x8057664] -> /usr/local/sbin/dovecot [0x80514e9] -> /usr/local/sbin/dovecot [0x8056edb] -> /usr/local/sbin/dovecot [0x805bcc1] -> /usr/local/sbin/dovecot [0x8055bbf] -> /usr/local/sbin/dovecot [0x8055d3b] -> /usr/local/sbin/dovecot [0x8055d87] -> /usr/local/sbin/dovecot [0x8062448] -> /usr/local/sbin/dovecot [0x805aadf] -> /usr/local/sbin/dovecot [0x805a5a7] -> /usr/local/sbin/dovecot [0x804d63a] -> /usr/local/sbin/dovecot [0x804da67] -> /usr/local/sbin/dovecot [0x804e4ce] -> /usr/local/sbin/dovecot [0x805a17a] -> /usr/local/sbin/dovecot [0x805adac] -> /usr/local/sbin/dovecot [0x8059f89] -> /usr/local/sbin/dovecot [0x8051b43] -> /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xd8) [0xb7e49df8] -> /usr/local/sbin/dovecot [0x804a451] dovecot --version 1.1.7 It seems, than some brute force attack caused this, here some more log: > dovecot: Apr 09 21:23:36 Info: auth(default): client out: FAIL 1 user=jennie > dovecot: Apr 09 21:23:36 Info: auth(default): client out: FAIL 1 user=jeffrey > dovecot: Apr 09 21:23:36 Info: auth(default): client out: FAIL 1 user=job > dovecot: Apr 09 21:23:36 Info: auth-worker(default): sql(jimmy,81.149.214.201): query: SELECT password FROM mailbox WHERE username = 'jimmy' AND active = '1' > dovecot: Apr 09 21:23:36 Info: auth(default): client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=pop3 lip=195.3.144.29 rip=81.149.214.201 lport=110 rport=34646 resp=<hidden> > dovecot: Apr 09 21:23:36 Info: auth-worker(default): sql(jimmy,81.149.214.201): unknown user For now I blocked this one IP (81.149.214.201), but wondering if this could happen again in the future?

[Dovecot] dbox problem
by Xueron Nee 09 Apr '09

09 Apr '09

Hi, I have just tested the dbox format mailbox, it works fine. But when I create dir through imap with `create` command, it only creates the dir onder ~/dbox/mailboxes, such as ~/dbox/mailboxes/newfolder. There was no `dbox-Mails` dir created. So the newfolder was 'noselect'. But the new folders created by `autocreate` plugin was correct. -- Xueron Nee http://www.xueron.com

[Dovecot] Indexing of mails to speed up the IMAP SEARCH command
by Tassilo Horn 09 Apr '09

09 Apr '09

Hi all, I use a local dovecot server which is synchronized with my two imap accounts using OfflineIMAP. This works very nice and is highly usable. But one thing I'd like to improve is the slow IMAP search. When I search for a string in the subjects of all messages in a mailbox using some mail client, dovecot seems to grep all the messages in there. Is there a way to let dovecot index more informations which are then used to speed up the SEARCH command? Bye, Tassilo

[Dovecot] Moving IMAP folders to NFS volume.
by Frank Bonnet 09 Apr '09

09 Apr '09

Hello Due to lack of disk space on local disks I need to move all our imap folders to a NFS volume ( NetAPP filer ) I have a question about Dovecot indexes , is it better to remove all of them before copying folders to the NFS volume and let Dovecot rebuild all indexes when users restart to access to their imap folders ? Thanks a lot.

[Dovecot] Upgrade from 0.99.x to 1.1.x
by Wolfram Schlich 09 Apr '09

09 Apr '09

Hi! I want to upgrade a Dovecot installation from 0.99.14 to 1.1.15, so I had a look at the following wiki article: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Upgrading?action=show&redirect=UpgradingDovecot The article http://wiki.dovecot.org/Upgrading/1.0 says something about .customflags -> dovecot-keywords and .subscriptions -> subscriptions change/conversion: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Upgrading/1.0#Subscriptions http://wiki.dovecot.org/Upgrading/1.0#Keywords Do I understand it correctly that when directly upgrading from 0.99 to 1.1, Dovecot does the subscriptions renaming but not the keywords renaming and conversion, but that when I manually rename all .customflags files to dovecot-keywords, it does the format conversion of that file automatically? Is there anything else what's important to note for such an upgrade? The system is using Maildir as the mailbox format and only local storage (no NFS etc.). -- Regards, Wolfram Schlich <wschlich(a)gentoo.org> Gentoo Linux * http://dev.gentoo.org/~wschlich/
