Update both virtual indexes & FTS indexes
by Daniel Miller 29 Aug '18

29 Aug '18

Will the following command: doveadm index -A '*' Ensure all Dovecot indexes are current (including virtual mailboxes) and also update FTS? Other than the time/resources needed to parse all users/mailboxes - is there a reason not to schedule this to run on a regular (hourly?) basis? My goal is to have my server constantly working...so my client isn't waiting for either virtual mailbox or Solr FTS updates. -- Daniel

Re: Issue sharing folders with Thunderbird

Hi Aki, they are. > 3. The permissions for the file are: > root@dal-notify-01 Maildir]# ls -la /var/lib/dovecot/db/shared-mailboxes.db > -rw-rw-r--. 1 operations sharedusers 197 Aug 26 20:33 /var/lib/dovecot/db/shared-mailboxes.db > 4. Users I'm testing with are part of the sharedusers group in /etc/group The dir /var/lib/dovecot/db has this for permissions: drwsrwsrwx. 2 root sharedusers 33 Aug 27 21:12 db the user operations is a member of “sharedusers” in /etc/group. I even chmod’ed the permissions after to rw for global and I get the same error/result. The file does appear to get written to. For example, lets say user u2.name creates a folder called “starbucks” and uses the IMAP commands to share it out to user operations. It seems to write to the acl_shared_dict file in /var/lib/dovecot/db/shared-mailboxes.db with an entry like > shared/shared-boxes/user/u2.name/operations > 1 And it writes to the ~/Maildir/.starbucks/dovecot-acl file for u2.user with an entry like: user=operations lrw So it appears to be working. However, if I log into Thunderbird with the user operations account and go to subscribe, I do not see “starbucks” in the list of available folders. And I still get the nfs_flush_chown error. Is there anything else I can be doing with the file/dir permissions?

mail-migration with dovadm sync/backup and mail_attachment_dir
by Ralf Becker 28 Aug '18

28 Aug '18

I need to run a mail-migration from a Dovecot with mail_attachment_dir / single instance storage enabled. As mailboxes and mail_attachment_dir are rsynced I would normally run a doveadm backup -u <user> -R -d dbox:<path to rsynced mailbox>/dbox How can I tell it the mail_attachment_dir the rsynced source / (reverse) destination uses? Or do I have to start a Dovecot process and use imapc for the migration?

HTTP API vs. doveadm
by Felipe Gasper 24 Aug '18

24 Aug '18

To follow up on an earlier thread: is there any functional advantage of the new HTTP API over the doveadm API? How does the HTTP API deal with a query like “mailbox list”, which (as best I can tell) could return non-UTF8 text? -FG

Is the Doveadm HTTP API considered stable for production use?
by James Beck 23 Aug '18

23 Aug '18

Hi, I'm running 2.2.34 in production (installed from Debian stretch backports) and want to rework some scripts. Can the HTTP API be considered stable in 2.2.34 please? The wiki says it is "considered experimental in v2.2.22" so I thought I'd check before writing API calls rather than a wrapper around doveadm! -- James Beck Andrews & Arnold Ltd Tel: 03333 400999

allow_nets based on RBL
by Tom Sommer 23 Aug '18

23 Aug '18

This was brought up in 2014, and left without conclusion, so I thought it would be time to bump it :) I would love a way to do allow_nets based on an RBL check, could this be added to the feature-list? https://wiki2.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase/ExtraFields/AllowNets Thanks -- Tom
