[Dovecot] Sieve/autosubscribe subfolder
by Moritz Augsburger 09 Mar '14

09 Mar '14

Hi, I just ran across the annoying issue, that with lda_mailbox_autocreate = yes lda_mailbox_autosubscribe = yes set, parent folders of newly created subfolders get subscribed without being existent. Let me give an example: In sieve I use fileinto "foo/bar"; but "foo/" does not exist as folder. So the Mailbox "foo/bar" gets created, but without "foo/" being a Mailbox. Nevertheless gets "foo/" subscribed, so that I have a non-existing mailbox in my subscription list, what confuses thunderbird. So, to solve this problem, I would propose - either the implicit creation of foo/ as mailbox or - not subscribing foo/ Moritz

[Dovecot] Mbox corruption - Inbox beginning with 'FFrom' or 'FrFrom'
by Dimos Alevizos 08 Mar '14

08 Mar '14

Hello, we're having some problems with our dovecot setup. I've seen similar problems in the mailing list some years ago but alas wasn't able to find a solution. Our setup is as follows : An MX farm (postfix) sends mails via LMTP to a director farm (dovecot 2.1.12) which proxies pop3/imap/lmtp traffic to a dovecot farm (dovecot 2.1.16). All mailboxes and indexes are on NFS and all servers are Centos. The problem is that at times we see mailboxes (all of them are in mbox format) beginning with FFrom or FrFrom and of course dovecot says it's not a valid mbox file. If we manually remove the offending extra characters from the beginning of the file everything is working again, but often the same user will show the problem again tomorrow. However it's very rare and so far we haven't been able to reproduce the problem. After activating the mail_log plugin hoping it'll help us locate the problem we run across this case : The user (let's call him user(a)domain.gr) logs in via pop3 and deletes some mails but one of them fails: Jun 19 11:09:18 pop01 dovecot: pop3-login: Login: user=<user(a)domain.gr>, method=PLAIN, rip=83.235.173.26, lip=83.235.66.40, mpid=1389, secured, session=<Ao+rWH3fHgBT660a> Jun 19 11:09:18 director5 dovecot: pop3-login: proxy(user(a)domain.gr): started proxying to 83.235.66.40:110: user=<user(a)domain.gr>, method=PLAIN, rip=83.235.173.26, lip=83.235.66.65, session=<Ao+rWH3fHgBT660a> Jun 19 11:09:24 pop01 dovecot: pop3(user(a)domain.gr): expunge: box=INBOX, uid=20670, msgid=<9f5b1a20a9428ed31a9e7e42ce4411f08d0.20130612070424(a)mail84.us2.rsgsv.net>, size=36526 Jun 19 11:09:24 pop01 dovecot: pop3(user(a)domain.gr): expunge: box=INBOX, uid=20671, msgid=<b27d72dc5a47a3235a232494c6fe8aa0(a)newsletter.stockout.gr>, size=4637 Jun 19 11:09:24 pop01 dovecot: pop3(user(a)domain.gr): expunge: box=INBOX, uid=20672, msgid=<1113670779560.1111910791405.1470.2.32032003(a)scheduler.constantcontact.com>, size=38655 Jun 19 11:09:24 pop01 dovecot: pop3(user(a)domain.gr): expunge: box=INBOX, uid=20673, msgid=<83600a274c1407c5aa4c263e2592cb54(a)debop.gr>, size=1181688 Jun 19 11:09:24 pop01 dovecot: pop3(user(a)domain.gr): expunge: box=INBOX, uid=20674, msgid=<F2A59BE7-007A-4567-9BA5-803446C3D7F8(a)bernier-eliades.gr>, size=61116 Jun 19 11:09:26 pop01 dovecot: pop3(user(a)domain.gr): Error: Next message unexpectedly corrupted in mbox file /var/mail/K/Y/V/domain_gr_user_007 at 1 Jun 19 11:09:26 pop01 dovecot: pop3(user(a)domain.gr): Error: Cached message offset 1 is invalid for mbox file /var/mail/K/Y/V/domain_gr_user_007 Jun 19 11:09:27 pop01 dovecot: pop3(user(a)domain.gr): Disconnected: Logged out top=0/0, retr=2/1502843, del=122/359, size=137448432 Jun 19 11:09:27 pop01 dovecot: pop3(user(a)domain.gr): Warning: Our dotlock file /var/mail/K/Y/V/domain_gr_user_007.lock was deleted (locked 9 secs ago, touched 9 secs ago) Jun 19 11:09:27 pop01 dovecot: pop3(user(a)domain.gr): Error: file_dotlock_delete() failed with mbox file /var/mail/K/Y/V/domain_gr_user_007: No such file or directory Jun 19 11:09:27 director5 dovecot: pop3-login: proxy(user(a)domain.gr): disconnecting 83.235.173.26 (Disconnected by server): user=<user(a)domain.gr>, method=PLAIN, rip=83.235.173.26, lip=83.235.66.65, session=<Ao+rWH3fHgBT660a> However he's still able to log in again : Jun 19 11:11:36 pop01 dovecot: pop3-login: Login: user=<user(a)domain.gr>, method=PLAIN, rip=85.74.231.10, lip=83.235.66.40, mpid=10094, secured, session=<QDLrYH3f7ABVSucK> Jun 19 11:11:36 director3 dovecot: pop3-login: proxy(user(a)domain.gr): started proxying to 83.235.66.40:110: user=<user(a)domain.gr>, method=PLAIN, rip=85.74.231.10, lip=83.235.66.63, session=<QDLrYH3f7ABVSucK> Jun 19 11:11:51 pop01 dovecot: pop3(user(a)domain.gr): Disconnected: Logged out top=0/0, retr=0/0, del=0/237, size=75036938 Jun 19 11:11:51 director3 dovecot: pop3-login: proxy(user(a)domain.gr): disconnecting 85.74.231.10 (Disconnected by server): user=<user(a)domain.gr>, method=PLAIN, rip=85.74.231.10, lip=83.235.66.63, session=<QDLrYH3f7ABVSucK> A few minutes later he receives another mail which is delivered with no problem : Jun 19 11:30:39 corvus amavis[546]: (00546-22) Passed CLEAN, [91.190.168.40] [91.190.168.40] <tk-14439(a)free.splio.com> -> <user(a)domain.gr>, Message-ID: <58175-bWFyaW5hQGJlcm5pZXItZWxpYWR lcy5ncg==(a)free.splio.com>, mail_id: J1P-0WpmQksJ, Hits: 1.412, size: 9025, queued_as: 02BA4AE00414, Tests: [DKIM_VALID=-0.1,DKIM_VERIFIED=-0.1,FREEMAIL_FROM=0.001,HTML_IMAGE_RATIO_04=0.61,INVALID_MSGID=1,URIBL_BLOCKED=0.001], autolearn=disabled, 1533 ms Jun 19 11:30:39 corvus smtp/smtpd[1283]: proxy-accept: END-OF-MESSAGE: 250 2.0.0 from MTA(smtp:[127.0.0.1]:10025): 250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as 02BA4AE00414;

[Dovecot] Planning migration
by Alan Chandler 08 Mar '14

08 Mar '14

I think I have a working dovecot installation, and the time has come to migrate my users. There are only 4 of us, so it can be done manually per user. I looked at this page in the wiki http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Migration/Dsync but I am totally confused. 1st off, it uses doveadm, but with commands parameters that dont match my doveadm's man page. In fact they look more like dsync parameters. Is there an error, or am I totally misunderstanding 2nd - if I assume its a dsync set of parameters, the imapc: at the end is a specification of location2. However, again my man page doesn't give any explanation of this. I am wondering, is this an example of an proxy 3rd - where do the imapc_* parameters go in the configuration I can't find any reference to them in the wiki

[Dovecot] How to run a program with mail_filter plugin
by Stanislas SABATIER 07 Mar '14

07 Mar '14

Hi, I'm using mail_filter plugin but I don't want it to launch a script but a program I wrote instead. In 10-master, if I put the absolute path to my program in the plugin settings ie : (…) service mail-filter { executable = /usr/local/bin/mail/my_email_filter (…) But I've got the following error from Dovecot : dovecot: master: Error: service(mail-filter): Initial status notification not received in 30 seconds, killing the process h ow do I need to configure the service to launch my program ?

[Dovecot] no sieve with lmtp_save_to_detail_mailbox=yes
by Dennis Kuhn 06 Mar '14

06 Mar '14

i have a problem with sieve and lmtp_save_to_detail_mailbox = yes. If the mailbox "detail" exists everything works fine, but if the mailbox detail does not exist then sieve does not work. The .dovecot.sieve.log file says sieve: info: started log at Mar 06 14:28:47. error: msgid=<531877EE.7070806(a)heinlein-support.de>: failed to store into mailbox 'test2': Mailbox doesn't exist: test2. I think this is the reason why no sieve script is executed, but why is sieve here involved? Is there any relation between lmtp_save_to_detail_mailbox=yes and sieve or is this a bug? The same sieve file works with the same mailaddress without mailextension, so the sieve script is not the reason for the failure. I am using dovecot version 2.2.12 Dennis Kuhn -- Heinlein Support GmbH Schwedter Str. 8/9b, 10119 Berlin http://www.heinlein-support.de Tel: 030 / 405051-57 Fax: 030 / 405051-19 Zwangsangaben lt. §35a GmbHG: HRB 93818 B / Amtsgericht Berlin-Charlottenburg, Geschäftsführer: Peer Heinlein -- Sitz: Berlin

[Dovecot] Still no emails since Feb. 6
by Steve Campbell 06 Mar '14

06 Mar '14

I checked my settings on the dovecot mailman page, and although my account was set to "disable" email, after changing it and attempting to have the list resend my password, I'm still not seeing emails. The last time I received emails, the outgoing server for the list was sent from the IP 193.210.130.67. Is that still correct? I've checked my logs to see if there's anything blocked, and I don't see anything. I've checked my access file and firewall, and nothing is blocked there. I'm not sure why my account settings showed "disabled", but it sounds like email was either bounced back to the list or my server is in some type of outgoing list to prevent sending to me. I'm at a loss. Is there any way an admin can check for me, please, to see if there's a problem they might spot? Thanks, steve

[Dovecot] Pigeonhole Sieve Extprograms Plugin
by dovecot＠voidptr.de 06 Mar '14

06 Mar '14

Hi, I upgraded to Dovecot 2.2.9 from Debian's wheezy-backports today (which should contain the "sieve_extprograms" plugin and thus also the vnd.dovecot.{pipe,filter,execute} capabilities. However when I add require "vnd.dovecot.filter"; to my sieve script via managesieve, the server reports error: require command: unknown Sieve capability: 'vnd.dovecot.filter' What am I missing and what should I do to get pipe/filter/execute to work? postconf -n attached.
