Imap Notify
by Tony Morehen 12 Jun '15

12 Jun '15

I'm trying to enable Imap Notify in Dovecot 2.2.13. I know that's a bit out of date, but that's what's provided with openSuSe 13.2. The first thing I did was add mailbox_list_index=yes to /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf. Both doveadm -n and dovecot -n show the change. I then used doveadm reload to force dovecot to reread its config file. Despite this, NOTIFY did not show up it Dovecot's capabilities: * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE AUTH=PLAIN] Dovecot ready. I then did a systemctl restart dovecot.service and still no luck: * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE AUTH=PLAIN] Dovecot ready. I also have noticed that the Maildirs of my various accounts include a dovecot.list.index file with a current timestamp, but no dovecot.list.index. So, where do I go for here? The output of doveadm -n: # 2.2.13: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.16.7-21-desktop x86_64 openSUSE 13.2 (x86_64) disable_plaintext_auth = no log_path = /var/log/dovecot/dovecot.log mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir mail_max_userip_connections = 50 mailbox_list_index = yes managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date ihave passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/passwd.dovecot driver = passwd-file } postmaster_address = Tony@localhost protocols = imap lmtp service auth { unix_listener auth-master { group = mailgrp mode = 0660 user = mailuser } } service lmtp { executable = lmtp -L inet_listener lmtp { address = 127.0.0.1 port = 2525 } user = mailuser } ssl = no userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/passwd.dovecot driver = passwd-file } protocol imap { imap_client_workarounds = tb-extra-mailbox-sep } protocol pop3 { mail_plugin_dir = /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/pop3 } protocol lda { log_path = /var/log/dovecot/deliver.log mail_plugin_dir = /usr/lib64/dovecot/modules mail_plugins = sieve } protocol lmtp { log_path = /var/log/dovecot/deliver.log mail_plugin_dir = /usr/lib64/dovecot/modules mail_plugins = sieve }

1.0.15 gone, can't start version 2
by Steve Matzura 12 Jun '15

12 Jun '15

On advice/recommendation received on this list, I removed version 1.0.15 with: rm -rf /usr/local/dovecot However, now that I have version 2 properly installed, configured, and ready to start testing with Postfix, it appears the old version is still in /usr/local/sbin, /usr/local/include, /usr/local/libexec, /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/shared/doc. Thinking that anything in /usr/local is something that was installed s a result of having built it from source (which 1.0.15 definitely was), should these also be removed?

That should give you a good idea about what's wrong with your setup. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=dovecot+ssl+setup# B

Replication: "cross-updates" of mail meta-data
by Andre Nathan 11 Jun '15

11 Jun '15

Hello I have a two-server dovecot setup using replication. Each server runs two dovecot instances, one for director and another for the backend. Initially I set up a single server, got it all working, then rsync'd the data and index partitions to the new one and started the clusters (I used rsync as a way to speed-up dovecot's initial replication). Both servers listen on a virtual IP addresses load-balanced by IPVS as well as their own IP addresses. When I started dovecot in the second server, users started reporting that some of their messages were missing. I noticed that while the mail data seemed to be up to date in server1, it wasn't in server2; however, the indexes were being updated in server2 but not in server1. For example, "doveadm quota get -u some-user" would report the wrong value in server1 and the right value in server2, while a "du" would show that only server1 actually had the most up-to-date data. At the moment I had to take down server2, because as soon as dovecot is running in it, users start reporting missing messages again. To solve that problem, a "doveadm force-resync" in server1 isn't enough. I either rsync the index files from server2 or remove the indexes in server1 before the force-resync, which then works. Has anyone ever saw anything similar to this? Any help would be much appreciated. I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 with dovecot 2.2.15 with the configurations below: === Backend instance === # dovecot -n # 2.2.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.16.0-37-generic x86_64 Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS auth_master_user_separator = * auth_mechanisms = plain login auth_username_chars = abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ01234567890.-_@= auth_worker_max_count = 10 disable_plaintext_auth = no doveadm_password = secret doveadm_port = 12345 listen = server1.mydomain.com mail_fsync = never mail_gid = dovemail mail_plugins = " notify replication quota" mail_uid = dovemail managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex copy include vacation-seconds imapflags notify namespace { inbox = yes location = mailbox SPAM { auto = subscribe } prefix = separator = / type = private } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql-master.conf.ext driver = sql master = yes pass = yes } plugin { mail_replica = tcp:192.168.0.2:12345 #

Error starting 1.0.15 with SSL_DISABLE=No

11 Jun '15

When starting Dovecot 1.0.15 after building it from source using the standard procedure, I receive the following message when starting, even though SLL_DISABLE=No: Error: SSL support not compiled in but ssl_disable=no Fatal: Invalid configuration in /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf How is SSL support configured and built in? I know it has something to do with the --SSL_CFLAGS flag.

Order of keys
by Steve Matzura 10 Jun '15

10 Jun '15

I hope I'm asking this on the right list, in the right place. I go through this every three years and for whatever reason keep forgetting to record how this works! In the Dovecot config, there are two places to define SSL certificates--ssl_cert_file and ssl_key_file. My question is this: Which two of the three files--the certifying authority, the signed certificate for the specific system, and the private certificate file--are combined to create the file that goes with ssl_cert_file? Since there are six possible permutations to answer this question (because order of files matters), which two go with ssl_crt_file and in what order? I have a private certificate file, the certifying authority's .CRT file, and the certifying authority's signed .PEM file which contains the system's certified certificate. Thanks in advance.
