bug dir copy group permissions?
by Marc 23 Sep '24

23 Sep '24

I am not sure if this page is correct, looks at least like this g+s not ok https://doc.dovecot.org/2.3/admin_manual/filesystem_permission/ work-around is to manually create dirs mdbox mdbox/storage mdbox/mailboxes. I would think this is a bug as files seem to be created correctly. group rights are not copied on directories, resulting in getfacl #effective:--- for the acl groups just testing with rm -R -f everything below usertest6 [@ shared]# ls -ln total 4 drwxr-xr-x 4 0 0 34 Sep 23 11:50 bak drwxrwx---+ 4 10001 10001 34 Sep 23 12:18 usertest drwxrwx---+ 3 10002 10002 19 Sep 23 11:51 usertest2 drwxrwx---+ 3 10006 10006 19 Sep 23 12:37 usertest6 -rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 121 Sep 23 11:46 README where are the group rights on mdbox?

Mail Backup from IMAP to POP3
by Reprobus 23 Sep '24

23 Sep '24

Hi, I'm in a situation whereas I need to backup my email from an IMAP server to a POP3 email client of my choosing. I'm hoping Dovecot can do such a task and is there a container to which I can run to set this up from ? My IMAP email server is maxed and I need to dump all the emails off the IMAP to POP3 as to clear it up. Thank You

shared mailbox not visible, acl_shared_dict stays empty
by Marc 22 Sep '24

22 Sep '24

I am creating the mailbox like this: doveadm -o mail_gid=testgroup2 mailbox create -u usertest shared/sharedtest1 I can set acl's (I think), at least the acl get produces the same. doveadm acl set -u usertest shared/sharedtest1 user=usertest6 lookup read write write-seen insert post doveadm acl get -u usertest shared/sharedtest1 However this file stays empty, I have read somewhere it should automatically be updated? acl_shared_dict = file:/tmp/shared-mailboxes.db How should I add entries manually there with: doveadm dict set file:/tmp/shared-mailboxes.db shared/sharedtest2 kempotest6 or with this syntax still???? https://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2009-April/038922.html

public mailbox filesystem layout + permission best practice
by Marc 22 Sep '24

22 Sep '24

I have some issues testing public mailboxes with linux users and groups creating mailboxes for users for the first group is not really a problem: doveadm -o mail_gid=testgroup2 mailbox create -u usertest public/publictest1 doveadm -o mail_gid=testgroup2 mailbox create -u usertest6 public/publictest2 doveadm -o mail_gid=testgroup2 mailbox create -u usertest2 public/publictest3 If I remove usertest6 from testgroup2 roundcube instantly stops showing these mailboxes. However when I try to make a new public mailbox with a different group. I am getting errors. doveadm -o mail_gid=testgroup3 mailbox create -u usertest6 public/publictest4 missing +r perm: public/mdbox/storage/dovecot.map.index.log public/mdbox/storage/dovecot.map.index.log, we're not in group I have the impression I am doing something wrong here, maybe configure the namespace with different filesystem layout? I assume it is possible to work with multiple groups in one public namespace? public/ └── mdbox ├── dovecot.list.index.log ├── dovecot-uidvalidity ├── dovecot-uidvalidity.66f00cc7 ├── mailboxes │ ├── publictest1 │ │ └── dbox-Mails │ │ ├── dovecot.index.cache │ │ └── dovecot.index.log │ ├── publictest2 │ │ └── dbox-Mails │ │ ├── dovecot.index.cache │ │ └── dovecot.index.log │ ├── publictest3 │ │ └── dbox-Mails │ │ └── dovecot.index.log │ └── testthunderbird │ └── dbox-Mails │ ├── dovecot.index.cache │ └── dovecot.index.log └── storage └── dovecot.map.index.log namespace public { disabled = no type = public separator = / prefix = public/ location = mdbox:/home/popusers/public/mdbox list = yes subscriptions = no }

sieve combine or not to be combine ?
by Marc 21 Sep '24

21 Sep '24

I am cleaning a bit my sieve scripts and wondered if I should stick to this solution sieve_before = sieve_before2 = sieve_before3 = or just one sieve_before = and put all scripts in this one. What are the advantages / disadvantages of doing this?

indexer: Error: conn unix:indexer (pid=562491,uid=10003): didn't reply with a valid VERSION line
by phren＠ist-einmalig.de 20 Sep '24

20 Sep '24

Hi, A few weeks ago we moved our mailserver to a new location. On the new location we use now dovecot v2.3.19.1 insteadof v2.3.4.1. We moved the mailboxes by zipping all mailbox on the old location and unzip on the new location. Now we see an indexer error quite often: > indexer: Error: conn unix:indexer (pid=563158,uid=10005): didn't reply with a valid VERSION line: 1 0 indexer indexer Sometimes when we try to use the index for searching we just get no results. We can't really find a cause for this error on the internet. As solution we found "Just do a re-indexing." Ok, but what may cause this error? And how can we prevent this error in the future? As indexer we use lucene. Any hint is appreciated. -- Phren
