[Dovecot] Idea: POP3 deletion as a flag
by Timo Sirainen 14 May '13

14 May '13

GMail doesn't delete mails when POP3 client issues a DELE command for it. Instead they just become invisible for future POP3 sessions, but they still exist for IMAP/webmail. The same could be implemented pretty easily for Dovecot: - Add a new setting to enable this: pop3_deleted_flag = $POP3Deleted - When DELEting a message, add this flag to the message. - When listing messages, skip all messages that have this flag. - Also hide this flag from IMAP clients(?) Thoughts? Probably 20 lines of new code.

[Dovecot] ot: mirroring/archiving to a Mac?
by voytek＠sbt.net.au 14 May '13

14 May '13

I have Doveot 2.1.1 on Centos, all's well user mails are kept for 60 days, then, 'aged off' (deleted) a Mac user with two domains and two dozen users asked me: can I set a mail server on my home Mac server, and, 'mirror' the real mail server mailboxes so than I can have an offline mail archive for ever ? I know very little about Macs, can I setup dovceot on Mac? any tips/suggestions/howtos for mirroring/archiving as so?

[Dovecot] Any way to let dovecot block pop3 attempts?
by Steve Campbell 12 May '13

12 May '13

Is there a way using dovecot facilities to block an IP from attempting POP3 connections (similar to the sendmail access file for smtp connections)? I usually do this at my border firewall, but if there's a quick and dirty way in dovecot to do this, it'd make life a little simpler. Thanks steve campbell

Re: [Dovecot] change inbox dotlock name
by Chris Saldanha 10 May '13

10 May '13

Axel Luttgens <AxelLuttgens(a)swing.be> wrote: > But I fear I don't understand your problem description. > Could you elaborate? Hi Axel, The issue is that the procmail port on FreeBSD doesn't acquire a dotlock when it's the default lock file (/var/mail/username.lock). It prints that it's bypassing the dotlock and just does a lockf() lock after. Looking in the code for procmail, it seems that it's being too clever with a bunch of checks and so it doesn't try to get the lock -- it's decided it doesn't want to before doing it. The permissions and runtime environment permit the lock, and the same lock is acquired correctly by dovecot when writing to the inbox. I'm doing dotlock and then lockf() locking in all the mail software. procmail's checks only seem to apply to the default lock file for the inbox. If I specify an alternate name in the .procmailrc for the $ORGMAIL delivery of the message, then it will acquire any other lock I ask, including an alternate name in the /var/mail directory. I'll dig into the procmail sources as needed to resolve it, but I had hoped that I could get dovecot to lock with a different filename, because that would resolve the issue with minimal hackery...

[Dovecot] dovecot not logging after upgrade to 2.1.7 on debian
by Steinar Bang 09 May '13

09 May '13

After upgrading my IMAP server to the new debian stable, and upgrading dovecot from 1.x to 2.1.7 in the process, dovecot no longer logs anything to /var/log/mail.*. The last entries there are from before the upgrade, and no starts or error messages or failed login attempts, since then, have been logged. Does anyone know what might cause this? "doveconf -n" doesn't mention any of the log settings. Maybe the log settings aren't picked up? What could be done to make sure they are picked up? Here's the content of the /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-logging.conf file: ## ## Log destination. ## # Log file to use for error messages. "syslog" logs to syslog, # /dev/stderr logs to stderr. log_path = syslog # Log file to use for informational messages. Defaults to log_path. #info_log_path = # Log file to use for debug messages.

[Dovecot] Permission problem with LDA and dovecot 2.2.1
by Tobi 09 May '13

09 May '13

Hello list today I built dovecot 2.2.1 from sources. But I have permission problems with LDA The "normal" imap part works fine, users can login and see their boxes. deliver is called as LDA from postfix master.cf as follows << dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -f ${sender} -d ${user}@${nexthop} >> but when I try to send a testmail then I get the following in the logs << 2013 May 6 18:37:59 nordkap lda: Fatal: Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. May 6 18:37:59 nordkap dovecot: lda: Error: userdb lookup: connect(/var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb) failed: Connection refused May 6 18:37:59 nordkap dovecot: lda: Fatal: Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. >> For me it looks odd because the auth-userdb is defined as << base_dir = /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/ service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { mode = 0777 user = vmail group = vmail } .... >> The rights on the file should be correct according to the config above << ls -al /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb srwxrwxrwx 1 vmail vmail 0 May 6 20:11 /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb >> I cannot explain why the lda tries to access << Error: userdb lookup: connect(/var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb) >> I grepped through all the configfiles but could not find the "wrong" path from the error message above. Would it might be a "fix" to symlink /usr/local/var/run/dovecot to /var/run/dovecot ? Or would that break something with dovecot? Thanks for any hint or idea tobi

[Dovecot] SSL problems on dovecot 2.1.7
by Steinar Bang 09 May '13

09 May '13

When I upgraded my debian-based imap server from squeeze to wheezy yesterday, SSL stopped working. I am using a http://cacert.org signed server sertificate, and I am reusing the certificates that were used on the 1.x dovecot of debian squeeze. My three MUAs that worked against the previous 1.x dovecot with the same certificate, now fails in various ways. Any hints and guesses as to how to debug this further will be highly appreciated. Even more appreciated will be a pin point of the issue. :-) Here are the error messages from the MUAs: - Opera 12.15 on Windows 7 just reports: "The connection with the IMAP server was unexpectedly interrupted." - Emacs24(w/linked-in gnutls)/Ma Gnus 0.8 (Gnus git HEAD) on Windows 7 says "imap.mydomain.com certificate could not be verified." - Emacs23/Ma Gnus 0.8 (also Gnus git HEAD) on debian testing (with Emacs23 gnutls-cli is run in a subprocess), says: "Opening connection to imap.mydomain.com via tls...

Opening TLS connection with `gnutls-cli --insecure -p 993 imap.mydomain.com'...done Opening TLS connection to `imap.mydomain.com'...done Unable to open server nnimap+privat due to: Process *nnimap* not running" When I try running gnutls-cli from the command line of the debian testing machine (the same gnutls-cli that is used by the emacs23/gnus combo), it seems to connect ok (the transcript of that session is below). The config for the SSL, from /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf, is: # SSL/TLS support: yes, no, required. <doc/wiki/SSL.txt> ssl = yes # PEM encoded X.509 SSL/TLS certificate and private key.

[Dovecot] dovecot stats
by Jan-Frode Myklebust 09 May '13

09 May '13

I just upgraded one of our servers to dovecot v2.1.16 (ee), and am looking into the stats feature. Am I interpreting the wiki correct in reading that the "doveadm stats dump command" only returns statistics about IMAP commands? Is it possible to collect info about POP3 and LMTP commands also ? Also, is "doveadm stats dump command" telling me the results of all commands that has finished the last stats_command_min_time, or will it maybe contain much more than 1 minute of activity ? -jf

[Dovecot] AuthenticationFailedException: [IN-USE] Couldn't open INBOX: Permission denied
by Earles, Jill 09 May '13

09 May '13

I've been pouring over the documentation for dovecot, but can't find a solution to this problem. I recently took over administration of the dovecot email service at the University where I work, and things were going smoothly. We've been creating email accounts for use with JIRA, a bug reporting/tracking system, and one day recently, when I tried to add a new account to JIRA, I got this error returned from dovecot: "AuthenticationFailedException: [IN-USE] Couldn't open INBOX: Permission denied" I got help from Atlassian, the creators of JIRA, and they sent me links to some forum posts that said that changing the permissions of that user's /var/mail/ directory to 0600 would solve the problem. I changed that and no longer got the error. Being satisfied that this was a solution, I created a bunch of new email accounts today to replace exchange accounts, and then changed the permissions on all the /var/mail/ directories to 0600. Now I'm getting that error again, even for pre-existing email addresses, including the one that I had previously fixed by changing the permissions the same way. I tried changing some of the older accounts back to 0660, which is what they had before, and I still get the error even after restarting dovecot. JIRA uses POP, port 110, to connect to the dovecot mail server. I've also had the same problem trying to connect from Mac Mail. Our JIRA application is used for tracking issues for the UBC Libraries, and those email addresses are critical for the creation of tickets and adding comments to tickets. I am at a loss for what to do. Can anyone help?

[Dovecot] change inbox dotlock name
by Chris Saldanha 08 May '13

08 May '13

Hi, Is there a configuration element that would allow me to change the dot-lock name for the user's /var/mail inbox when it is locked? dovecot (correctly) acquires <username>.lock, but I'm having a problem with procmail where some obscure code path is preventing procmail's acquisition of a lock when it's that default name in /var/mail. The issue is not permissions (using a world-writeable and sticky-bit config for /var/mail). I'll dig into the procmail code if needed, but if dovecot could use a different filename for such locks, then that would solve my issue. procmail has such an option, and I only need to do this for inboxes. Thanks, Chris -- Chris Saldanha Parliant Corporation

[Dovecot] sieve redirect envelope address problem
by Костырев Александр Алексеевич 08 May '13

Good day! I have a problem with mail redirection through sieve rules. I've configured sieve rule that redirects any mail coming to user to gmail mailbox (or whatever external mail system there is). But when sieve redirects any mail it puts vmail@%dovecot_hostname% into envelope address, gives it to my exim for delivery and gmail rejects my mail because user vmail@%dovecot_hostname% do not exist. Please, advice for what can be done about this behavior. my `doveconf -n` http://pastebin.com/0dyL9Jgs Thanks in advance! -- С уважением, Костырев Александр администратор Linux-систем

[Dovecot] CATENATE mis-reads literal after bad URL
by Mike Abbott 08 May '13

08 May '13

Dovecot-2.2.1 plus Timo's recent CATENATE and URLAUTH fixes mishandles literals after bad URLs. (As before remember that the "foobar" text below is really "foobarCRLF" hence the length of 8. Also, last time some MTA discarded an important single leading space character in the snippet I quoted so this time I'm prefixing all the lines to avoid that. In case it's lost again, there's a space before the word "url" below.) | b append inbox catenate (text {8} | + OK | foobar | url /a-bad-url text {8} | b NO [BADURL /a-bad-url] Invalid messagepart IMAP URL. | c noop | d noop | d OK NOOP completed. | e logout | * BYE Logging out | e OK Logout completed. Note that the command with tag "c" is lost. I think it shouldn't be, because the NO was reported to the client without sending a continuation (+ OK) so the client knows not to send the literal. Plus it appears only one line is discarded regardless of the size of the literal.

The first one is: May 02 17:47:17 imap(pid 50490 user submit): Panic: file imap-client.c: line 643 (client_command_free): assertion failed: (client->output_cmd_lock == NULL) The line number doesn't match dovecot-2.2.1 due to Apple's unrelated modifications. 0 libsystem_kernel.dylib 0x00007fff8a9f7d4a __pthread_kill + 10 1 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x00007fff8f728705 pthread_kill + 92 2 libsystem_c.dylib 0x00007fff8f48b17b abort + 125 3 libdovecot.0.dylib 0x000000010db8d2bb default_fatal_finish + 68 4 libdovecot.0.dylib 0x000000010db8df66 i_internal_error_handler + 0 5 libdovecot.0.dylib 0x000000010db8d53d i_panic + 158 6 imap 0x000000010da468fe client_command_free + 446 7 imap 0x000000010da47a33 client_output_cmd + 37 8 imap 0x000000010da46497 client_output + 143 9 libdovecot.0.dylib 0x000000010dba5610 stream_send_io + 53 10 libdovecot.0.dylib 0x000000010db9bc74 io_loop_call_io + 46 11 libdovecot.0.dylib 0x000000010db9cc85 io_loop_handler_run + 214 12 libdovecot.0.dylib 0x000000010db9be1f io_loop_run + 77 13 libdovecot.0.dylib 0x000000010db5b0c6 master_service_run + 24 14 imap 0x000000010da4fa66 main + 1010 15 libdyld.dylib 0x00007fff8f7887bd start + 1 The second one is: May 02 19:23:29 imap(pid 60229 user mja): Panic: file index-mail.c: line 1274 (index_mail_close_streams_full): assertion failed: (!mail->data.destroying_stream) 0 libsystem_kernel.dylib 0x00007fff8a9f7d4a __pthread_kill + 10 1 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x00007fff8f728705 pthread_kill + 92 2 libsystem_c.dylib 0x00007fff8f48b17b abort + 125 3 libdovecot.0.dylib 0x00000001054c42bb default_fatal_finish + 68 4 libdovecot.0.dylib 0x00000001054c4f66 i_internal_error_handler + 0 5 libdovecot.0.dylib 0x00000001054c453d i_panic + 158 6 libdovecot-storage.0.dylib 0x00000001053aaebb index_mail_close_streams_full + 199 7 libdovecot-storage.0.dylib 0x00000001053aaf29 index_mail_close + 44 8 libdovecot-storage.0.dylib 0x00000001053ab6bd index_mail_free + 48 9 libdovecot-storage.0.dylib 0x000000010538a19a mail_free + 15 10 libdovecot-storage.0.dylib 0x00000001053dd3b3 imap_msgpart_url_free + 65 11 imap 0x000000010532d563 imap_urlauth_fetch_abort_local + 30 12 imap 0x000000010532cb96 imap_urlauth_fetch_abort + 38 13 imap 0x000000010532cb54 imap_urlauth_fetch_deinit + 24 14 imap 0x00000001053218bd cmd_urlfetch_finish + 45 15 imap 0x0000000105321aa3 cmd_urlfetch_continue + 167 16 imap 0x0000000105323ef8 command_exec + 55 17 imap 0x0000000105323a20 client_output_cmd + 18 18 imap 0x0000000105322497 client_output + 143 19 libdovecot.0.dylib 0x00000001054dc610 stream_send_io + 53 20 libdovecot.0.dylib 0x00000001054d2c74 io_loop_call_io + 46 21 libdovecot.0.dylib 0x00000001054d3c85 io_loop_handler_run + 214 22 libdovecot.0.dylib 0x00000001054d2e1f io_loop_run + 77 23 libdovecot.0.dylib 0x00000001054920c6 master_service_run + 24 24 imap 0x000000010532ba66 main + 1010 25 libdyld.dylib 0x00007fff8f7887bd start + 1

[Dovecot] Dovecot Postfix Quota Policy Service
by Daniel Luttermann 07 May '13

Hallo zusammen, über den Policy Service von Dovecot zum Abfragen der User Quotas wurde ja schon diskutiert - auch gibt es eine gute Anleitung zum Einrichten, nur leider bekomme ich den Policy Server nicht korrekt konfiguriert. Folgende Fehler werden protokolliert: May 3 22:00:13 mail postfix/smtpd[17463]: warning: access table unix:private/quota-status entry has empty value May 3 22:00:42 mail dovecot: quota-status(daniel(a)dlutt.de): Error: user daniel(a)dlutt.de: Error reading configuration: net_connect_unix(/usr/var/run/dovecot/config) failed: Permission denied Es ist dabei so, dass nach einem Reload der Dienste die erste Mail noch zugestellt wird, die folgende, eingehende Mail dann jedoch abgelehnt wird.

Ich habe auch mal versucht, die Berechtigungen für den Service "config" auf World-Readable zu setzen, leider hat dies auch nicht geklappt, wobei ich nicht weiß, ob dieser unbedingt mit dem Problem etwas zu tun hat. Auch beim Debug-Logging sind leider nicht mehr Infos zum Fehler zu finden. Zum Einsatz kommt aktuell Postfix 2.10.0 und Dovecot 2.2.1. Die Dovecot Quota Konfiguration sieht so aus, wie bei sys4 beschrieben: service quota-status { executable = quota-status -p postfix unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/quota-status { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } client_limit = 1 } Mittlerweile habe ich schon einige Optionen und Berechtigungen ausprobiert, aber der Fehler bleibt leider der gleiche. Hat vielleicht jemand noch einen Tip? Danke schon mal. -- Daniel

[Dovecot] imap crash during URLFETCH
by Mike Abbott 06 May '13

06 May '13

Dovecot-2.2.1's imap processes crash reliably when they use an IMAP URL with an invalid access specifier. A backtrace and some debug output follows. The crash is likely caused by imap_urlauth_fetch_parsed() returning 0 without having set *mpurl_r to NULL, and then imap_urlauth_fetch_local() freeing an uninitialized pointer. Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV) Exception Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x0000000000001059 0 libdovecot-storage.0.dylib 0x000000010b06a383 imap_msgpart_url_free + 17 1 imap 0x000000010afc71cc imap_urlauth_fetch_local + 770 2 imap 0x000000010afc6dcf imap_urlauth_fetch_url + 439 3 imap 0x000000010afbb489 cmd_urlfetch + 580 4 imap 0x000000010afbdf4d command_exec + 55 5 imap 0x000000010afbdabb client_command_input + 34 6 imap 0x000000010afbdc7c client_command_input + 483 7 imap 0x000000010afbd351 client_handle_input + 239 8 imap 0x000000010afbc613 client_input + 119 9 libdovecot.0.dylib 0x000000010b111c74 io_loop_call_io + 46 10 libdovecot.0.dylib 0x000000010b112c85 io_loop_handler_run + 214 11 libdovecot.0.dylib 0x000000010b111e1f io_loop_run + 77 12 libdovecot.0.dylib 0x000000010b0d10c6 master_service_run + 24 13 imap 0x000000010afc5aba main + 1010 14 libdyld.dylib 0x00007fff89e5f7bd start + 1 Apr 29 20:00:31 imap(pid 82429 user mja): Debug: Fetching local URLAUTH imap://mja@duck.example.com/INBOX;uidvalidity=1366726248/;uid=19;urlauth=submit+mja:internal:012c9c6a3d74db6509e4a3802a0f5edf64546608b8 Apr 29 20:00:31 imap(pid 82429 user mja): Debug: Failed to fetch URLAUTH "imap://mja@duck.example.com/INBOX;uidvalidity=1366726248/;uid=19;urlauth=submit+mja:internal:012c9c6a3d74db6509e4a3802a0f5edf64546608b8": No 'submit+mja' access allowed for user mja Apr 29 20:00:31 imap(pid 82429 user mja): Fatal: master: service(imap): child 82429 killed with signal 11 (core dumps disabled)

[Dovecot] doveadm search causes replication error message
by Oli Schacher 06 May '13

06 May '13

Hi # 2.2.1 (83d83f55e5c2+) / dsync replicated setup I just noticed that 'doveadm search' apparently tries to replicate mailboxes and spits out errors if a mailbox in the search query is not found: #doveadm search -u user(a)example.com mailbox Spamreport doveadm(user(a)example.com): Error: Syncing mailbox Spamreport failed: Mailbox doesn't exist: Spamreport this is especially problematic with -A searches as this causes a error message for every user which doesn't have that folder. Is this a bug or intended behaviour? Should I just 2>/dev/null these errors in doveadm scripts? Thanks Oli -- message transmitted on 100% recycled electrons

[Dovecot] SELECT/EXAMINE don't report URLMECH
by Mike Abbott 06 May '13

06 May '13

In dovecot-2.2.1 neither the SELECT nor the EXAMINE commands include an untagged URLMECH reply. (Note, this is not the one mandated by the RESETKEY command.) AFAICT RFC 4467 does not require an URLMECH reply to SELECT or EXAMINE but without it clients have no way of knowing about authorization mechanisms other than INTERNAL. Now I know dovecot-2.2 supports only the INTERNAL mechanism at present so this is probably harmless, but still I think it's worthwhile to ask: Is the absence of the URLMECH reply intentional or an oversight? For comparison Apple's enhanced dovecot replies: c1 select inbox [...] * OK [URLMECH INTERNAL] Mechanisms supported c1 OK [READ-WRITE] Select completed.

[Dovecot] many SSH connexions with dsynx/SSH replication
by Emmanuel Dreyfus 06 May '13

06 May '13

Hi I am trying replication over dsync/ssh, as explained there: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Replication I added the options below to dovecot.conf. It works, but it seems there is a new SSH connexion for each user, which is a bit overkill performance-wise. Since I sync as root, I guess there is a way of haing everything on the same SSH connexion? --- cut here --- mail_plugins = $mail_plugins notify replication service replicator { process_min_avail = 1 } dsync_remote_cmd = ssh -lroot %{host} doveadm dsync-server -u%u plugin { mail_replica = remote:root@mail1.example.net } service aggregator { fifo_listener replication-notify-fifo { user = dovecot } unix_listener replication-notify { user = dovecot } } service replicator { unix_listener replicator-doveadm { mode = 0600 } } service doveadm { inet_listener { port = 12345 ssl = yes } } doveadm_port = 12345 ssl_client_ca_file = /etc/openssl/certs/ca.crt doveadm_proxy_port = 0 --- cut here --- -- Emmanuel Dreyfus manu(a)netbsd.org

[Dovecot] dsyncing lazy_expunge namespace
by Angel L. Mateo 06 May '13

06 May '13

Hello, I'm in the process of migrating mailbox from one dovecot server running dovecot 2.1.9 with mailboxes stored in maildir format to a newer one running 2.1.16 with mailboxes stored in mdbox format. To migrate mailboxes I'm using dsync as explained at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Dsync. The command I'm running in the newer server is: sudo dsync -o mailbox_list_index=no mirror -R -u <user> imapc: The mailbox of the user is correctly synced to the newer server, except the lazy_expunge namespace, which is not synced at all. The config in my old server is: namespace { # hidden = yes # list = no # Temporally, only for migration hidden = no list = yes location = maildir:~/Maildir/expunged prefix = BORRADOS. separator = . } and in the newer one is: namespace { hidden = yes list = no location = mdbox:%h/expunged:INDEX=/mail/indexes/%2Ln/%Ln/expunged prefix = BORRADOS/ separator = / } With a tcpdump I have checked that old servers list the namefolder, this is the IMAP dialog for an example user: * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE AUTH=PLAIN] Dovecot ready. 2 AUTHENTICATE PLAIN YW5nZWwubHVpcwBtYXN0ZXIAVkFzR293ZW0= 2 OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE SORT SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE QRESYNC ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH LIST-STATUS SPECIAL-USE QUOTA ACL RIGHTS=texk] Logged in 1 LIST "" "" * LIST (\Noselect) "."

[Dovecot] XFS vs EXT4 for mail storage
by Charles Marcus 05 May '13

05 May '13

Hello, I'm in the process of finalizing the spec for my new dovecot VM, and this is the last question I need to address... I've read until I'm just about decided on XFS, but I have no experience with it (been using reiserfs on my old box (@ 8 yrs old now), and never had a problem (knock on wood), but considering its current situation (little to no development support for reasons everyone is aware of), I've decided now is the time to switch. It came down to XFS or EXT4, and I like what I've read about XFS, but am unsure how to tune it (or even if I should). I've decided to use mdbox for storage (been using maildir), and will enable SIS for attachments. So, anyone (Stan?) have any suggestions? Should I go with EXT4? Or XFS with just the defaults? Or XFS with one or more tuned parameters? Appreciate any suggestions (including links to docs dealing with tuning XFS for my mail storage conditions that are written more at the layman level) or comments from anyone experienced using both... Thanks, -- Best regards, Charles

[Dovecot] Dovecot has no understandable configuration any more
by forum 04 May '13

04 May '13

Hello, for many years i used an mailserver with dovecot V1 very satisfied! http://mailserver.decotrain.de/ One of the reasons to use dovecot was a simply configuration. Dovecot was the best choice for IMAP for me! Now i updated the server to Debian testing with dovecot 2.1.7. It's not possible for me to get a running authentication for virtual mail users! I recently found this mailing and have the same problem: http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2012-March/064181.html The documentation says *nothing* about my problem how to authenticate with mysql! http://wiki2.dovecot.org/VirtualUsers I can solve the problem only with try and error without a chance in this complex system.

[Dovecot] Accessing mail files not owned by imap login user
by PaulM47 03 May '13

03 May '13

Hi, I have managed to set up a 'maildir' based mail system using fetchmail and procmail that delivers sorted mail to folders /var/spool/mail/user1, ../user2 etc. 'user1', 'user2' etc. are real users but the mail system is run under logged in user 'mailserver'. The mail folders are owned by 'user1', 'user2' etc. but mail files, when delivered, are owned by 'mailserver'. I've been unable to find a way to change this behaviour :-( Dovecot is configured by adding the single line 'mail_location = maildir:/var/spool/mail/%u' to 'dovecot.conf', everything else is as installed. When I make an imap connection as 'user1' the logon is successful, the mail files are moved from ../new/ to ../cur/ but are invisible to the imap client. If I 'chown' the mail files to 'user1' they instantly become visible to the imap client. I gather from googling info on dovecot I can configure dovecot to allow 'user1', when logged in, to access the mail files owned by 'mailserver'. Is this simple to do, and if so how do I do it please ? Thanks PaulM -- View this message in context: http://dovecot.2317879.n4.nabble.com/Accessing-mail-files-not-owned-by-imap… Sent from the Dovecot mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Dovecot] feature request: pipe for custom quota dict queries
by Jeff Gustafson 03 May '13

03 May '13

Just a followup to my previous post. I appears that a pipe for quota queries via dict is not supported right now. Because of the way we group things we need more flexibility. I'd like to propose that dovecot should support quota queries just like userdb dict queries. My expertise is not C, but I might try to poke around and see if I can make something work. ...Jeff

[Dovecot] sieve: deleteheader sometimes fails [bug]
by Daniel Piddock 03 May '13

03 May '13

Hi, We're using Dovecot 2.1.16 with Pigeonhole 0.3.4. Mail is delivered by exim4 to the dovecot LDA. Sometimes users are unable to delete headers. I've narrowed the problem down to preceding the deleteheader command with a query against the body. A simple example: """ require ["body", "editheader", "fileinto"]; if body :contains "!TEST!" { fileinto "INBOX.Trash"; stop; } deleteheader "Subject"; addheader "Subject" "Testing"; """ Putting the "deleteheader" above the "if body" causes it to be deleted correctly. Although I've used Subject in this example it happens for other headers. Cheers, Dan

[Dovecot] CATENATE allows zero parts
by Mike Abbott 03 May '13

03 May '13

I'm pleased to see that dovecot-2.2 includes support for RFCs 4467 and 4469 (URLAUTH and CATENATE). I have begun testing these features (in dovecot-2.2.1) and comparing their functionality against Apple's implementation. So far I have discovered a few inconsistencies. I will report each of these, and any more that I may find, in separate threads. The first issue is that using CATENATE with no message parts works but, IMO, shouldn't: a2 append inbox catenate () a2 OK [APPENDUID 1366726248 9] Append completed. For comparison this is how Apple's enhanced dovecot in OS X Server handles this request: a2 append inbox catenate () a2 BAD Invalid arguments. According to RFC 4469 section 3 CATENATE requires "one or more message parts." This is formalized in section 5: append-data =/ "CATENATE" SP "(" cat-part *(SP cat-part) ")" and in RFC 3501 section 9 which states that "[ABNF] rules MUST be followed strictly." I believe that permitting zero cat-parts is contrary to the RFC, although I can understand permitting it under the general doctrine of "servers should be liberal in what they accept, and clients strict in what they send." Is accepting zero cat-parts an intentional exception to the RFC or an oversight?

[Dovecot] CATENATE doesn't support literal+ url
by Mike Abbott 03 May '13

03 May '13

Dovecot-2.2.1 does not appear to support URLs specified via non-synchronizing literals (RFC 2088 LITERAL+), and also does not read and discard the literal+ input after reporting the error. This results in the literal+ input being interpreted as IMAP commands, which could alter the user's mail store in unexpected ways and/or lead to the abrupt disconnection of the client for exceeding the maximum number of bad IMAP commands. Example using dovecot-2.2.1 (note that the text nonsync literal includes the invisible CRLFs: "foobarCRLFbarbazCRLF"): a3 append inbox catenate (url {9+} /some-url text {16+} foobar barbaz ) a4 noop a3 BAD Error in IMAP command APPEND: Invalid arguments. foobar BAD Error in IMAP command : Unknown command. barbaz BAD Error in IMAP command : Unknown command. ) BAD Error in IMAP command : Unknown command. a4 OK NOOP completed. Example using Apple's enhanced dovecot in OS X Server: a3 append inbox catenate (url {9+} /some-url text {16+} foobar barbaz ) a4 noop a3 NO [BADURL /some-url] missing or invalid uid a4 OK NOOP completed. I believe the RFCs indicate that nonsync literal URLs should be permitted. RFC 4469 section 5: append-data =/ "CATENATE" SP "(" cat-part *(SP cat-part) ")" cat-part = text-literal / url url = "URL" SP astring RFC 3501 section 9: astring = 1*ASTRING-CHAR / string string = quoted / literal RFC 2088 section 4: literal ::= "{" number ["+"] "}" CRLF *CHAR8

[Dovecot] Tuning!
by Rafael VOlpe TI 02 May '13

02 May '13

Hi Buddies, I have 2 servers running dovecot + postfix for pop/imap users. The users mailbox are in a Nfs storage. The load of server is ranging at 3.0 to 15.0. I really dont know what happened.. I read a lot about tuning of dovecot, and the changes are applied, how you can see. The Hardware of server is really good! The host have 8GB of mem and 2 sockets with 2 cores anyone. The server receives 900-1000 user connections in pop and imap. How i can aprimmorate this processes? Some errors are displayed on the console randomly when the load rises. Example: May 02 13:57:42 pop3(user(a)domain.com): Error: Timeout (180s) while waiting for lock for transaction log file //var/vmail/ domain.com/user//dovecot.index.log May 02 13:57:42 pop3(user(a)domain.com): Error: Couldn't init INBOX: Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. [2013-05-02 13:54:40] May 02 13:57:42 pop3(user(a)domain.com): Info: Mailbox init failed top=0/0, retr=0/0, del=0/0, size=0 I really appreciate any suggestion!

[Dovecot] Dovecot vs MBox
by Gregory Sloop 02 May '13

02 May '13

I'm still in the "what's wrong" stage of figuring out what's going on. But I've got a mail user who isn't getting new messages. Postfix accepts it and drops it in the users mbox. [This is verified. If I tail the Mbox, I can see the new messages.] "Mail" will see the messages too. But dovecot doesn't seem to know they exist. I don't think the MBox is corrupt, as I've tossed the first few messages in hopes that it would then read the rest, but no luck. Any ideas where to look next, what I might do to force dovecot to forget message ID's etc - that might force it to read the whole mailbox file again? [Or a pointer as to where it might be most productive to poke next?] TIA -Greg -- Gregory Sloop, Principal: Sloop Network & Computer Consulting 503.251.0452 x121 Voice | 503.251.0452 Fax www.sloop.net mailto:gregs@sloop.net

[Dovecot] CATENATE allows empty messages
by Mike Abbott 02 May '13

02 May '13

Dovecot-2.2.1 allows empty messages to be APPENDed when using CATENATE: b1 append inbox catenate (text {0+} ) b1 OK [APPENDUID 1366726248 12] Append completed. Contrast this with regular APPEND: b2 append inbox {0+} b2 NO Can't save a zero byte message. Note that zero-size literals are OK but zero-size messages are not. So while "b1" above should fail like "b2", this should continue to succeed: b3 append inbox catenate (text {0+} text {8+} foobar ) b3 OK [APPENDUID 1366726248 13] Append completed.

[Dovecot] Slow DNS warnings (proxy/auth)
by Christian Balzer 02 May '13

02 May '13

Hello, I've just finished transiting our proxies from perdition to dovecot (2.1.7-7 Debian). Yesterday 12 messages (all within the same second) like this caught my attention: --- Apr 25 17:19:09 pp11 dovecot: auth: Warning: proxy(redacted(a)gol.com,xx.xx.xx.xx,<26hUEivbfQBlMrMS>): DNS lookup for mb04.dentaku.gol.com took 5.002 s --- Now this machine at that time was handling a load of about 2 logins per second, about 20% of what it previously handled with perdition w/o a hiccup. It also runs a local caching nameserver and the A record for the mailbox server in question was most definitely cached at the time (verified via TTL). The machine in question was very bored and certainly capable of handling hundreds if not thousands of DNS queries per second at that moment. In short, I can't see any reason how the lookup could have taken so long, so my guess is there are some issues with the dns-helper (locking, stepping on each others feet, not being spawned fast enough) causing this. Some general remarks, dovecot as proxy feels "heavier" than perdition. In the CPU area that's probably a more subjective impression, because all the little helper processes make it clear what's going on where. Though the "config" process being rather active is something that perdition definitely doesn't do, it reads the config once at start time and that's it. All the IPC and central processes of course also make dovecot rather file handle hungry. Memory wise it's about 35% bigger than perdition and that's not subjective at all. ^o^ About one MB per proxy process/connection for dovecot in my case. Caveat emptor. ^o^ Regards, Christian -- Christian Balzer Network/Systems Engineer chibi(a)gol.com Global OnLine Japan/Fusion Communications http://www.gol.com/

[Dovecot] last login timestamp
by Oscar A. Jara 30 Apr '13

30 Apr '13

Hello, I am settiing up a dovecot (imap, pop, sieve, lda) + openldap infrastructure. I need to store the timestamp of the last login of each user in an attribute of its corresponding ldap object. I could not find a way of doing this through configuration options so I am thinking of coding this task into the dovecot-auth source code, maybe in the passdb-ldap.c file. What do you recomend about this? Thanks. __________ Information from ESET Mail Security, version of virus signature database 8278 (20130429) __________ The message was checked by ESET Mail Security. http://www.eset.com

[Dovecot] mailbox_list_index_parse_header crash
by Kyle Wheeler 29 Apr '13

29 Apr '13

Hi, I got all excited about IMAP NOTIFY support and tried enabling mailbox_list_index on my server. Unfortunately, I rather quickly ran into trouble of the segfault variety. This prevented me from doing basic things like seeing the contents of some of my folders. Disabling mailbox_list_index got me back up and running, but... darnit, that's annoying. The only message I got in my log file was this: imap(user@domain): Fatal: master: service(imap): child 6899 killed with signal 11 (core dumped) If I can help track this down, please let me know. Here's the backtrace: #0 hash_table_insert_node (table=0x10eff60, key=0x103, value=0x10fd8b0, check_existing=<value optimized out>) at hash.c:268 node = 0x69616d2d746e6573 prev = 0x10fbee0 hash =

[Dovecot] Dovecot Solr Panic
by Andre Rodier 29 Apr '13

29 Apr '13

Hello Everyone, I have a small base of users (30), but a lot of emails. I have an error again when I am indexing a virtual folder with a large number of folders. I appreciate this is a special case, but I am using dovecot and solr as it is, according to the documentation, the favourite way. One user is using a large number of archives sub folders, by years, months and subfolders, since 5 years.

Im upgrading my dovecot from 2.1.14 to dovecot 2.2.1 on linux. Im using the same configuration file against my MySQL db and getting the following error: doveconf -n # 2.2.1: /opt/dovecot221/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /opt/dovecot221/etc/dovecot/conf.d/dovecot-sql.conf line 2: Unknown setting: driver dovecot-sql.conf: # The mysqld.sock socket may be in different locations in different systems driver = mysql # Use "host= ... pass=foo#bar" if your password has '#' character connect = host=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock dbname=mydb user=username password=pass password_query = SELECT userid AS username, domain, password \ FROM users WHERE userid = '%n' AND domain = '%d' user_query = SELECT home, uid, gid FROM users WHERE userid = '%n' AND domain = '%d' home=/opt/ii/%1n/%n/INBOX # For using doveadm -A: iterate_query = SELECT userid AS username, domain FROM users That file worked fine in the last version. Looking at the docs 'driver' is still a valid setting. Can someone help me figure out why its complaining? Ive even Im lost as to why this error is occuring unless the error itself is actually another problem and the wrong error is popping up. Been working on this for a day and cant figure it out.

[Dovecot] Replication fails with "Remote dsync doesn't use compatible protocol"
by Rich Wales 27 Apr '13

27 Apr '13

I can't get replication to work in Dovecot 2.2.1. I'm getting the following error on the machine where I'm initiating the replication: richatwork dovecot: doveadm: Error: dsync-remote(richatwork): Error: dsync(local): Remote dsync doesn't use compatible protocol Both the local and remote servers are running identical versions of Dovecot (2.2.1), so I don't understand why I would be having any sort of "compatible protocol" problem. Any ideas? I posted the "dovecot -n" output for both servers in my earlier e-mail on this issue, which I sent about 24 hours ago (and which I assume was too long for people to be willing to read).

[Dovecot] ios clients and namespace trouble
by Kelsey Cummings 27 Apr '13

27 Apr '13

We migrated to dovecot from courier and maintained a courier compatible namespace configuration. This resulted in ios clients needing to be manually configured in order to use the special folders correctly (delete messages, save drafts, etc) either by being given the correct "Path Prefix" or by manually selecting the special folders. I can't fathom why apple has chosen not to support or can't detect namespace correctly and require manual configuration but if they haven't done it by now they must have some reason for it and aren't going to fix it any time soon. Are there any creative solutions to fixing the i-clients and preventing them from needing manual configuration? -K

Sorry i am a bit of a noob, the docs don't explain clearly what to do...

[Dovecot] Replication -- multiple users, three or more servers?
by Rich Wales 24 Apr '13

24 Apr '13

I'm running Dovecot 2.2.1 on an Ubuntu 12.04.2 server, with half a dozen accounts for various family members. I want to set up replication involving at least three Ubuntu servers, with different users replicated on different sets of servers. For example, I might have mail for "user1" replicated on "server1", "server2", and "server3"... while mail for "user2" would be on "server1" and "server2"... and mail for "user3" would be on "server1" and "server3". I've read the wiki page (http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Replication) but I'm still confused. I'd love to see an example that clearly shows how to set up specific individual mail users to be replicated on a different set of servers for each user, like what I described above.

[Dovecot] login crashes - maybe too many simultan connections
by Frank Leonhardt 24 Apr '13

24 Apr '13

Hallo, since a few days, users sometimes have problems connecting to our mailserver, in the mail.err are many lines like this: Apr 23 11:14:25 psy2 dovecot: dovecot: child 17607 (login) killed with signal 11 (core dumps disabled) (ip=xx.xx.146.84) Users who are already logged in keep connected, but new connections are not possible.This happens only between 10 am and 3 pm, never in the early morning or at night, so i assume, maybe this is caused by too many simultaneous connections? After restarting dovecot the problem is temporary solved, new users may connect, but after one or a few days, this may happen again. # 1.2.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 x86_64 Debian 6.0.1 log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: imap imaps pop3 pop3s disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-login mail_privileged_group: alle mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir fsync_disable: yes mbox_write_locks: fcntl dotlock mail_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/pop3 auth default: passdb: driver: pam args: dovecot userdb: driver: passwd May anybody help?

[Dovecot] Strange issue with doveadm user
by Antoine Nguyen 24 Apr '13

24 Apr '13

Dear all, I encounter a strange issue with the *doveadm user* command. (dovecot 2.1.16) I try to retrieve information about a specific user but dovecot says it doesn't exist (whereas I just created it). The following command fails: $ sudo -u vmail doveadm user pouet(a)domain.tld userdb lookup: user pouet(a)domain.tld doesn't exist If I try a more global lookup, the user is properly found: $ sudo -u vmail doveadm user *(a)domain.tld user1(a)domain.tld *pouet(a)domain.tld* Sending a query for another user works well. For example : $ sudo -u vmail doveadm user user1(a)domain.tld userdb: user1(a)domain.tld home : /var/vmail/domain.tld/user1 uid : 500 gid : 500 quota_rule: *:bytes=100M I really don't understand what's happening... The only difference I see between the users is that user1 was created when I was using dovecot 1.2... Thanks for your help.

[Dovecot] Feature request: Configure CONFIG_MODULE_DIR and AUTH_MODULE_DIR at runtime
by Rickard Nilsson 23 Apr '13

23 Apr '13

Hi! I am running dovecot 2.1.16 on NixOS (http://nixos.org) and I have been fighting the dynamically loaded dovecot modules/plugins a bit. The problem is that in Nix/NixOS all packages are completely isolated from each other (each package has a separate /lib, /libexec, /bin etc, with only its own files in it). So dovecot has all its modules under /nix/store/xxx-dovecot/{lib,libexec}/dovecot, and the Pigeonhole modules are under /nix/store/yyy-pidgeonhole/{lib,libexec}/dovecot. Now, dovecot wants to load modules only from one directory, so I created a "virtual" package that unifies all modules in /nix/store/zzz-dovecot-plugins/{lib,libexec}/dovecot. I can then use this directory as the "mail_plugin_dir" setting in dovecot.conf. This works fine, dovecot can then find the "sieve" mail plugin. The problem is the service and auth modules, that dovecot tries to load from the compile-time set MODULE_DIR/{settings,auth}. This is a problem for me, because I can't set the module path during compilation since that introduces a circular dependency between the dovecot package and the virtual dovecot-plugins package. I have solved this by hacking dovecot to read an environment variable, DOVECOT_CONFIG_MODULE_DIR, in the config_parse_load_modules function. This way I can inject my module path during runtime. But this only works for the master process, not the config process which seems to reset its environment (I assume it does this when dropping privileges). So I did another hack which lets me pass an argument to the config process which contains the module path. I can then set this argument in dovecot.conf by "service config { executable = config /my/module/path }". These hacks work, and I can now use both the sieve mail plugin and the sieve service. I have attached the patch, but this is not a request to add it to the source. My hack is a hack because I don't know enough about the inner workings of dovecot to solve it in a good way. Rather, I'm asking for some way to configure the module path in dovecot, either as an argument to the master process or as a setting in dovecot.conf. A bonus would be the ability to specify several paths that dovecot would search, then I can do away with my virtual module package. Best regards, Rickard Nilsson

I understand that the +x workaround suggested for the auth-userdb socket (so as to have 0777 permissions instead of 0666) relies on provisions made in Dovecot's code in order to relax some requirements. But I still need help for a correct interpretation... The socket receives 0666 permissions by default; any process should thus be able to read from/write to that socket. So, why set such a default, since it is anyway going to yield un-intuitive results? And, as far as the log messages are concerned: "client doesn't have lookup permissions...". Who's the client here? Still from the log: "client doesn't have lookup permissions for this user:". Which user? "userdb reply doesn't contain uid" The userdb query seems to have failed; but does it mean that is should explicitly return a uid?

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.1.16: "default_client_count" written to the logs

Hello, As to be expected with low system limits, a warning may be written to the logs: master: Warning: fd limit (ulimit -n) is lower than required under max. load (256 < 1000), because of default_client_count Shouldn't it read "default_client_limit" instead of "default_client_count"? It seems that the warning is written only when reloading Dovecot, not upon Dovecot's startup. Is this deliberate? Thanks, Axel

[Dovecot] Integrate mbox into mdbox
by lutz.niederer＠gmx.net 23 Apr '13

23 Apr '13

Hi! I have several mbox files (unstructured, only the big plain mbox files) and I would like to integrate/read these mbox files into mdbox subfolders of specific users. This is a production system and I don't want to disturb running services and I am a bit afraid of not using the right command and maybe destroying (or whatever) their mailboxes. I am sure it is pretty easy. Can someone please tell me the correct dsync command line that I should use to read each mbox file (one-way) into the specific folder of the mdbox folder structure of a specific user? Thanks a lot, -lutzn

[Dovecot] Using dsync to export mail to remote IMAP account
by Joseph Tam 23 Apr '13

23 Apr '13

I've read the web/man pages on dsync, but it's not clear to me whether dsync can be used to export (rather than import) a user's mailbox to a remote non-dovecot IMAP account. (The intention is to use it whenever a user leaves and wants to copy their local mail to Google or whatever. I currently use uw-imapd's mailutil -- it works, but it's dreadfully slow.) As a first crack at it, I tried (on the dovecot server) dsync -o imapc_user=remoteuser -o imapc_password=remotepassword -o imapc_host=remote-imap-server -o imapc_port=993 -o imapc_ssl=imaps -o imapc_features=rfc822.size -o imapc_list_prefix=remoteprefix -o mailbox_list_index=no backup -f -u localuser imapc: I got this error: dsync(localuser): Error: user localuser: Initialization failed: Namespace '': Unknown mail storage driver imapc dsync(localuser): Fatal: User init failed Is exporting mail to a remote (non-dovecot) IMAP account even doable with dsync, or am I completely off-track?

[Dovecot] Dovecot Failover
by Nikolaos Milas 22 Apr '13

22 Apr '13

Hello, Assuming we have two (low traffic) servers (on different data centers) replicated using dsync, what is the best way to automatically direct users to the main server when it is up and to the redundant one when the main server is down? Using DNS? I've seen that DNS-based failover has generally issues (for example: http://serverfault.com/questions/60553/why-is-dns-failover-not-recommended, which is informative although it refers to web servers). What is the suggested approach? HAProxy? Heartbeat/Pacemaker? Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks and regards, Nick

Can you help me please with sieve plugin for dovecot I have this rule: /require ["variables", "envelope", "fileinto", "subaddress", "imap4flags"]; if anyof ( address :is [ "to", "cc", "bcc" ] "test(a)example.com", envelope :contains "to" "test(a)example.com" ) { fileinto "Test"; stop; }/ and if somebody sends me an email with "test(a)example.com" in "TO" or "CC" - then sieve works properly and put this email in Test folder, but i can't understand why if it sends e-mail to "test(a)example.com" in BCC - sieve don't move it to Test but leave it in Inbox? If i run sieve-test -faD .dovecot.sieve "Message-ID" i get: /Performed actions: * store message in folder: Test Implicit keep: (none) sieve-test(root): Info: final result: success/ but in dovecot log i get: /Info: sieve: msgid=<20130421074437.570EA2BA1C1F(a)mail.com>: stored mail into mailbox 'INBOX'/ and email is going to Inbox folder, instead Test. Please tell me what i am doing wrong and how i can make sieve to work properly with BCC. Thank You. -- View this message in context: http://dovecot.2317879.n4.nabble.com/Sieve-BCC-tp41757.html Sent from the Dovecot mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Dovecot] listen directive changed?
by Nick Edwards 20 Apr '13

20 Apr '13

Timo, Is the global listen directive supposed to be a governing directive, like in apache? or is it there just in case you dont use it in protocols? I set a specific ipv6 address in global listen, but use [::] in proto Testing to a secondary IP, not in the global listen, it still connects, so can I ask has the original use of global listen been deprecated? ciao

[Dovecot] Moving mail servers, moving mailboxes
by Gregory Sloop 19 Apr '13

19 Apr '13

So, I've done some searching - but search terms are hard to come by, that work, for this query. In short, migrating a RHEL 5.9 server running the back-ported Dovecot 1.0.7 To: Ububtu 12.04 with 2.0.19, I believe. [I'm not against compiling a more recent version if there's some real advantage to doing so. But I'd certainly prefer to stay with the packaged version.] Most users are POP3, with some leaving messages on the server for a while. Other users are IMAP - whole mail repository on server. --- In an ideal world, I'd like to simply copy all the mailboxes/dirs from one server to the other. [Local/LAN file copies are possible] It would be great if the message ID's wouldn't change, so the read/unread/new etc status all all the messages wouldn't change between the two servers for POP/IMAP. --- So, does anyone have a reasonable walk-through for doing so? Is this a poor idea? Should I simply set myself on fire now and save everyone a lot of hassle? :) Would you suggest an alternative, and tell me if it might achieve the objectives above? I'm more than glad to take pointers to threads on this topic. I just haven't been able to dredge this up with my Google-foo. TIA -Greg

Hello! I try to configure POP3s with Dovecot. My mail server is behind router and I forward 995 port from router to mail server. POP3s works ok when I log directly to 995 on server. Unfortunately, it shows nothing when I log from outside. It happens also when the firewall is off. All I can see in log is this: Apr 19 13:39:43 hostname dovecot: pop3-login: Warning: SSL: where=0x10, ret=1: before/accept initialization [123.123.123.123] Apr 19 13:39:43 hostname dovecot: pop3-login: Warning: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: before/accept initialization [123.123.123.123] Apr 19 13:39:43 hostname dovecot: pop3-login: Warning: SSL: where=0x2002, ret=-1: unknown state [123.123.123.123] Apr 19 13:39:43 hostname dovecot: auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/auth Apr 19 13:39:43 hostname dovecot: auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=17056) Apr 19 13:39:47 hostname dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=123.123.123.123, lip=10.0.0.2, TLS handshaking: Disconnected (hostname and IPs changed) My config: # 2.0.19: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.2.0-40-generic-pae i686 Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS auth_debug = yes mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u mail_privileged_group = mail passdb { driver = pam } protocols = pop3 service pop3-login { inet_listener pop3s { address = * } } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = passwd } verbose_ssl = yes I think it might be something related to SSL, but what?

You can sort of get that from the logs.

Hello Many users here use the "copy to Sent folder" using the IMAP protocol with Dovecot 2.1.15 on a FresBSD 9 server. Since few days this operation ( copy to sent folder ) became longer than before , it could takes several seconds to complete even the message is very short. Is there a parameter I could tweak to boost this a bit ? may users complain with reason thank you

[Dovecot] Problem with "convert" Plugin
by Andreas Schnederle-Wagner - Futureweb.at 18 Apr '13

18 Apr '13

Hello, I got a Problem with the "convert" Plugin. Trying to convert from mbox to maildir Format. OS: CentOS release 5.8 (Final) dovecot -version: 1.0.7 (Centos RPM) convert Plugin call: convert_mail = mbox:/opt/pop3/%u:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u When converting to maildir - POP3 works fine (except the lost UIDL - so every server-saved message is double downloaded - but did not find any fix for this problem with convert plugin) But the IMAP In-Boxes give me some headache . All Folders are converted correct - and displayed in Mail Client. But all Mails in the IMAP INBOX are "lost" (at least Mail Client won't show them anymore) Newly delivered Mails to the Inbox work - but all older ones are missing. When looking into this Folder: /var/maildata/USER/Maildir/cur/ I can see that newly delivered mails look like this: 1366122898.14776_0.SERVERNAME:2, And the old - converted ones like this: 1366119758.P14442Q12M682874.SERVERNAME:2, Can someone point me in the right direction why the converted Mails are missing? (It worked on other Servers - about 1 year ago - without any problem?!)

[Dovecot] qmail-ldap LDA Delivery and sieve
by Ruda Porto Filgueiras 18 Apr '13

18 Apr '13

Hi, I'm using dovecot 2.1.7 on debian Squeeze with ldap integration. Almost everything is working fine and I would link to thank all developers for this amazing piece of software. But after changing my qmail-ldap to do LDA integration get all the benefits from LDA and sieve, some emails return with failure like this: <sar(a)mondialline.com.br>: lda(sar): Fatal: Unknown argument: sar Usage: dovecot-lda [-c <config file>] [-a <address>] [-d <username>] [-p <path>] [-f <envelope sender>] [-m <mailbox>] [-e] [-k] It happens on messanges that could not be delivered and need to be returned to the sender. I'm using the configuration described on wiki to do qmail-ldap integration: http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/qmailldap The relevant delivery command is: | /usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda -a $RECIPIENT -f $SENDER -d $USER I also tried to use this way, as documented here: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/LDA/Qmail | /var/qmail/bin/preline -f /usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda But in that case, some sieve plugins can't detect the mail recipient, like vacation plugin. Finally, the vacation plugin also is not doing email forwarding when I use the first delivery option above.

[Dovecot] Pros and cons of having folders under INBOX vs. not
by Rich Wales 18 Apr '13

18 Apr '13

I have some questions about whether I should set up folders under INBOX vs. having them outside the INBOX namespace. I'm setting up a new Dovecot 2.2.0 on an Ubuntu 12.04.2 server. My plan is to move my users (family members) to this new server from an old Cyrus server. Everybody is currently using (and will continue to use) IMAP, and either Thunderbird or SquirrelMail as their e-mail client. I'm using the maildir mailbox format on this new Dovecot server. No one is using the new Dovecot server yet, so I'm still free to do additional tweaking of the server configuration. When I used imapsync to copy everyone's mail to the new server, I found that all the folders (other than INBOX) were renamed. On the old Cyrus server, all the folders are subfolders of INBOX, but the folders on the new Dovecot server are not. (For example, a folder named "INBOX.Dovecot" on the old server was renamed to "Dovecot" on the new server by the imapsync utility.) Can I just keep things this way on the new server? Or are my users going to run into problems if folders are not all under INBOX? I do realize that IMAP servers can be set up either to put everything under INBOX, or not, but I'm not familiar with all the pros/cons. And if I do need (or want) to put all the folders under INBOX, can I simply rename the existing folders in each user's Maildir (and also edit folder names accordingly in everyone's "subscriptions" file)? Or will Dovecot be broken unless I recopy everything from scratch (with a command-line option to imapsync to put everything in the INBOX destination namespace)? Rich Wales richw(a)richw.org

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.2 & LEMONADE extensions
by Jan Phillip Greimann 18 Apr '13

18 Apr '13

Hi there, I read an article about dovecot 2.2, which includes the LEMONADE extensions, and was fascinated about the feature "Forward without download". We have a small internet-uplink in our office and our CEO loves to receive mails with large attachments, he also reply/forward it, so every time the full attachments get downloaded and uploaded again. Now the question is: Is LEMONADE supported by desktop-mailclients like thunderbird or just mobile Clients? (Google said nothing to this, maybe searched the wrong words) I hope someone can help me with this. Greetings, Jan

[Dovecot] Maildirs location migration
by Thomas Hummel 17 Apr '13

17 Apr '13

Hello Timo, I'm using dovecot-2.1.15 with Maildir mailboxes located on an NFS filer. Postfix is used to deliver mail through procmail ("mailbox_command) as LDA. Our team has bought another filer and everything is meant to go on it, so we're planning to migrate those mailboxes to the new filer. To test it only on a subset of users, I ended up to the following solution : 1. keep new messages in postfix mailqueue for those users (via a service and a transport) 2. prevent new dovecot authentication for those users (via the "auth-deny" passwd-file type passdb) 3. doveadm kick those users 4. copy or rsync the mailboxes 5. symlink maildir, control and indexes directories to the new filer (nfs mounted on the mail server) 6. re-enable mail delivery and imap authentication I was wondering if such a migration could be done differently in order to be seamless to the user : - for the postfix part, it would be easy, I guess, to create a new service (and a new transport map using this service) to deliver to the new location - but for the imap part, I'm not sure if it can be done. My guess is that, if feasible, it would involve some namespace settings and a dsync copy but I cannot figure out how exactly. What do you think ?

[Dovecot] process_limit must be 1
by FABIO FERRARI 17 Apr '13

17 Apr '13

Hello, recently I have migrated a dovecot configuration from a Red Hat 5 to a CentOS 6. Since the versions of dovecot are quite the same (dovecot-2.0.1-1_118.el5 vs dovecot-2.0.9-5.el6.x86_64), I was thinking that copying the configurations file from one server to the other was a good thing, but instead, when I try to start the service, I have this bad error: Avvio di Dovecot Imap: doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf: service(anvil): process_limit must be 1 Does anyone know why I am getting this? Is there a change in configurations between the 2 versions, is it a known issue or I have to check something else? thanks in advance Fabio Ferrari

[Dovecot] %{session} does not work with deliver_log_format
by Daniel Parthey 17 Apr '13

17 Apr '13

Hi, # 2.1.10: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-45-server x86_64 Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS deliver_log_format = mailbox: deliver: session=<%{session}> msgid=%m from=%f: %$ produces log messages always containing "session=<session}>", like this one: Feb 24 09:22:09 10.129.3.233 dovecot: lmtp(3484, user(a)example.org) mbnWK6/NKVGcDQAAiWCYmA: sieve: mailbox: deliver: session=<session}> msgid=<20130224082208.8A807C0CF(a)mx01.example.org> from=postmaster(a)example.org: stored mail into mailbox 'INBOX/postmaster' http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Variables leads me to the assumption that %{session} works "everywhere" and for deliver_log_format too. Is deliver_log_format variable expansion handled differently from login_log_format_elements and mail_log_prefix? Regards Daniel -- https://plus.google.com/103021802792276734820

The best way to figure out why it works and v2.2 doesn't would be to find the specific commit from v2.2 that broke it. http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/BisectExtension could make finding that easier.

[Dovecot] Delete_to_Trash plugin and quota problem
by BINOTTO Luis SIDOR 16 Apr '13

16 Apr '13

Hello list... I am new at dovecot and I have a problem with it; any help will be very grateful We have a exchange server with outlook at the client side, and we are migrating the exchange server to postfix/dovecot(1.2.15) solution. I enabled the "deleted-to-trash" plugin (v0.3) to move the messages to the Trash folder automatically when it is deleted. Also, I am using quota and quota_imap plugins to maintain the quota for users. The quota rule for Trash folder is unlimit. The problem is, when the client reach their maximum quota and try to delete a mail in the inbox to release space. The delete to trash plugin effectively copy it to the Trash folder, but the original mail still remain (marked for delete) at the inbox folder and the quota does not released.

[Dovecot] Sync errors trying to sync old mbox inboxes to dovecot
