several misc questions, public folders and sharing, quota, ssl

Hello, I'm running dovecot 2.29 on a freebsd 10.3 system. I'm wanting to optimize how the system is running and have a few misc questions. First ssl, is my cipher list good? I'm trying for pfs and wanting to ensure these cipherlist is appropriate: ssl_cipher_list = EECDH+AESGCM:EDH+AESGCM:AES256+EECDH:AES256+EDH Next, a new feature that I'm trying for is virtual folders that store All messages. My understanding of this is that it stores a version of every received message in one place? I've got the virtual plugin loaded and have: mailbox virtual/All { comment = All my messages special_use = \All } I've got a directory /home/vmail/example.com/username/virtual under which is an ALL folder both directories are accessible to the vmail user, yet there's no contents in this folder and it's showing up nowhere. Next, quota warnings, are not being sent at all. I set up a testuser with a quota of 2 mb, then sent a message to that user getting the box to 95% full, and no message. Took the user overquota with the next message, still nothing, and a third message did trigger my custom quota exceeded message and the message was bounced. I'm wanting to implement public folders. My mailboxes are all virtual, and they are stored under /home/vmail/example.com/username and /home/vmail/example.org/username in the maildir format. I've got one user uid and gid of 999 name of vmail who owns all the mailboxes. I've separated out public folders storing them under /home/vmail/public. I've created one mailbox called TestFolder and new, cur, and tmp directories under it. This is what it looks like: ls -la /home/vmail/public total 24 drwx------ 4 vmail vmail 512 Apr 13 18:23 ./ drwx------ 8 vmail vmail 512 Mar 15 10:34 ../ drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 512 Apr 13 18:16 TestFolder/ drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 512 Apr 13 18:25 TestFolder1/ -rw------- 1 vmail vmail 8 Apr 13 18:15 dovecot-uidvalidity -r--r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 0 Apr 13 18:15 dovecot-uidvalidity.58eff89a -rw------- 1 vmail vmail 688 Apr 13 18:24 dovecot.list.index.log ls -la /home/vmail/public/TestFolder total 28 drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 512 Apr 13 18:16 ./ drwx------ 4 vmail vmail 512 Apr 13 18:23 ../ drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 512 Apr 13 18:13 cur/ -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 51 Apr 13 18:16 dovecot-uidlist -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 304 Apr 13 18:16 dovecot.index.log drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 512 Apr 13 18:13 new/ drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 512 Apr 13 18:13 tmp/ ls -la /home/vmail/public/TestFolder1 total 20 drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 512 Apr 13 18:25 ./ drwx------ 4 vmail vmail 512 Apr 13 18:23 ../ drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 512 Apr 13 18:25 cur/ drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 512 Apr 13 18:25 new/ drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 512 Apr 13 18:25 tmp/ The public/TestFolder is showing up fine and I can switch to it. The public/TestFolder1 is not showing up at all so I'm not seeing it and can't switch to it. Any ideas? My second question involves public folders and domain sharing. Are public folders accessible to all users and all domains? I've got two domains example.com and example.org i'd like to create a folder that some users in example.com can share with some users in example.org, not necessarily all users in those domains should be able to see the folders. Ideas welcome. Thanks.

Accessing Shared Mailbox, FQDN not appended to user
by Ed Nitido 15 Apr '17

Hey all long time, I recently upgraded Dovecot from 2.1.15 to 2.2.29.1 on my Debian Wheezy box and thought I'd tackle shared mailboxes. I can grant fine, using SETACL in telnet . SETACL mine vsun(a)test.domain.com lr . OK Setacl complete (0.596 + 0.000 + 0.595 secs). . GETACL mine * ACL mine vsun(a)test.domain.com lr edward(a)test.domain.com lrwstipekxacd However, logging in as vsun(a)test.domain.com, the logs shows the MASTER IN user doesn't get FQDN. Instead of edward(a)test.domain.com it just shows edward@test How come it only show's a partial domain? Thanks!

Cutting down on sql connections

Hello, I'm running dovecot 2.29 on a freebsd 10.3 system. I'm trying to cut down queries to my database and tried to do a userdb static and prefetch. I modified the password query to pull in userdb_quota and got an error that that was not valid. Is this behavior normal?

Trouble setting up dovecot/postfix/mysql with virtual mailboxes..
by Michael Segel 14 Apr '17

14 Apr '17

Hi, I’m building a new linux box to replace my current DNS/Mail server for my SOHO. I was going to set up postfix/dovecot/mysql so I can support virtual users. I also use Webmin to make admin easier. I ran in to a couple of snags. When I first got it set up, mail went to the virtmail user and I could use my Mac mail client to read the mail. Everything was working when testing it. I was working on my TLS certificates and I broke something. I don’t know what I did, but now it’s going to the local mailbox instead. (MailDir folder) Since most of my time is doing other things, I am hoping someone could point me in the right direction. Thx

Trouble compiling 2.2.29.1
by Marc Perkel 13 Apr '17

13 Apr '17

Not sure what I'm doing wrong but I run this: ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --enable-maintainer-mode --with-mysql and it forks thousands of copies of config.guess and will eventually lock up the computer. What am I doing wrong?

Can sieve feed mails to a pipe like procmail can?
by Peter Kielbasiewicz 13 Apr '17

13 Apr '17

Currently I use procmail to filter mails according to specific tokens and trigger certain actions. For that I feed mails which match certain criteria to a pipe which then post processes the mail right when it arrives. >From what I found I could use a workaround with sieve by storing mails somewhere and then work on those at certain intervals. But this is an awkward solution which causes delays and extra work for locking and post processing. I read that sieve be the more modern system but without the post-processing feature it is no replacement for procmail to me. Peter

Hello List, i have a working dovecot imap service running with multiple clients running fine, even iOS. What's anying is, that only on iOS ( ) i see a huge bunch of .CONTROL directories - marked grey. It seems to be a copy of the existing folder structure. I don't see this on thunderbird, outlook or even roundcube. Is there any chance to configure dovecot to hide those folders to iOS? Here's some extended Information....

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.18 for Dovecot v2.2.29.
by Stephan Bosch 12 Apr '17

12 Apr '17

Hello Dovecot users, Here's the definitive 0.4.18 release. There were no changes since the release candidate. Changelog v0.4.18: + imapsieve plugin: Implemented the copy_source_after rule action. When this is enabled for a mailbox rule, the specified Sieve script is executed for the message in the source mailbox during a "COPY" event. This happens only after the Sieve script that is executed for the corresponding message in the destination mailbox finishes running successfully. + imapsieve plugin: Added non-standard Sieve environment items for the source and destination mailbox. - multiscript: The execution of the discard script had an implicit "keep", rather than an implicit "discard". The release is available as follows: https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.18.t… https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.18.t… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x wiki for more information. Have fun testing this release and don't hesitate to notify me when there are any problems. Regards, -- Stephan Bosch stephan(a)rename-it.nl
