[Dovecot] No status for INBOX/* in mbox NS (2.1.6)
by Jost Krieger 23 Aug '12

23 Aug '12

Maybe it's fixed, but the last "interesting" text in the Changelog was before 2.1.6. Most of our users still have mboxes in the classical layout, so you can't have subfolders and messages in the same folder, *except for the INBOX*, as it is physically separate. Someone complained that he saw subfolders in roundcube he couldn't delete, because they didn't show up in the subscription view. Before hitting on roundcube, I mperformed a few checks and got the following: root@cx-y-z qmail # doveadm mailbox status -u usera messages 'INBOX/*' root@cx-y-z qmail # doveadm mailbox status -u usera messages 'INBOX/test1' INBOX/test1 messages=0 This is mysterious. It doesn't happen with my account, that is in a mdbox: root@cx-y-z qmail # doveadm mailbox status -u kriegjcb messages 'INBOX/*' INBOX/test1 messages=1 Our setup is a bit complicated, but most of it shouldn't be relevant to the problem. # 2.1.6: /usr/local/dovecot/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.9-103.ELsmp i686 Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 9) auth_first_valid_uid = 100 auth_master_user_separator = * dict { quota = mysql:/usr/local/dovecot/etc/dovecot-dict-mysql.conf } disable_plaintext_auth = no first_valid_uid = 100 lda_mailbox_autocreate = yes log_path = /dev/stderr log_timestamp = mail_access_groups = nofiles mail_location = mbox:~/Mail:INBOX=~/Mailbox:INDEX=~/Index mail_plugins = " quota zlib mail_log notify virtual stats" mdbox_rotate_size = 5 M namespace { hidden = no inbox = yes location = prefix = separator = / type = private } namespace { hidden = yes inbox = no list = children location = maildir:~/Maildir prefix = "#MD/" separator = / type = private } namespace { hidden = yes list = no location = virtual:~/Maildir/Virtual prefix = Virtual/ separator = / type = private } namespace { hidden = yes list = no location = virtual:/usr/local/dovecot/etc/virtuell:INDEX=~/Virtuell prefix = Virtuell/ separator = / subscriptions = no type = private } passdb { driver = pam } passdb { args = /usr/local/dovecot/etc/passwd.dovcot.master driver = passwd-file master = yes } plugin { acl = vfile mail_log_events = undelete mailbox_delete mailbox_rename mailbox_create mail_log_fields = uid box msgid size quota = dict:User quota::proxy::quota quota2 = fs:Disk quota stats_refresh = 30 secs stats_track_cmds = yes } protocols = pop3 imap service auth { client_limit = 4300 user = root } service dict { unix_listener dict { group = nofiles mode = 0666 } } service doveadm { inet_listener { port = 542 } } service imap-login { inet_listener imap { address = 134.147.64.38 port = 143 } service_count = 0 } service imap { drop_priv_before_exec = yes process_limit = 2048 vsz_limit = 1 G } service pop3-login { inet_listener pop3 { address = 134.147.64.38 port = 110 } service_count = 0 } service pop3 { drop_priv_before_exec = yes process_limit = 2048 vsz_limit = 512 M } service stats { fifo_listener stats-mail { mode = 0666 user = dovenull } } ssl = no stats_command_min_time = 5 mins stats_domain_min_time = 1 hours stats_ip_min_time = 1 hours stats_memory_limit = 64 M userdb { args = /usr/local/dovecot/etc/dovecot-mysql.conf driver = sql } userdb { driver = passwd } protocol imap { mail_max_userip_connections = 50 mail_plugins = " quota zlib mail_log notify virtual stats imap_quota imap_zlib imap_stats" } Thanks Jost Krieger -- | Helft Spam ausrotten!

[Dovecot] For the wishlist
by Jost Krieger 23 Aug '12

23 Aug '12

I would like very much to have a "doveadm copy", which probably could be made out of "doveadm move" by removing ca. 2 lines (and changing a few strings from "move" to "copy"). This would make it a lot easier to script quite a few things without using a real imap client. I can run around this by doing an import followed by a move but this will duplicate the mails (even when using mdbox). Mit freundlichen Grüßen Jost Krieger -- | Helft Spam ausrotten!

[Dovecot] Dovecot / Win8 Mail App Folder Subscription Issue
by Adam Rosi-Kessel 23 Aug '12

23 Aug '12

Win8 RTM Mail App now supports IMAP. I am running Dovecot 1.2.15 on a Debian Stable server. The App works fine except the list of folders displayed seems to be a random subset of all my folders. I can't figure out how it's picking which folders to show, or how to change what's subscribed. Editing the "subscriptions" folder in ~/Maildir/ doesn't seem to have any impact. Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot or narrow done this issue? I posted to a Microsoft forum but was told the Mail App will only support official email providers.

by Frank Kirschner 23 Aug '12

23 Aug '12

Hello List, I'm still running dovecot in version 1.1.7 No I have setup a new installation with dovecot 2.0.9 and had running some tests with a testdomain. Everything is working well. The Maildir has exactly the same structure like ../domain/username/... Can I copy the whole maildir to the new server? Logical that I have also to move the SMTP network configuration to the new machine. best regards Frank

[Dovecot] doveadm director move behaviour
by Angel L. Mateo 23 Aug '12

23 Aug '12

Hi, I have a director farm running in front of dovecot pop/imap servers. For a reason, one of my backend servers have been down, so poolmon disables it in director servers and users corresponding to it has been sent to other servers. Until this, no problem. Now my failed backend server is up again, and I want to redirect all of its users to it, without waiting for it director sessions to end. So I have used doveadm director move <user> <backend ip> to move them to its "hashed" server. Although a doveadm director status <user> now shows me that this user is directed to the new server, doveadm who in the temporal server shows me that the user is actually connected to it, although messages are delivered to it through is correct server. So I have had to manually kick that users in the temporal servers. Is this the expected behaviour of the move command for director? Is there any way to also force the kick of the imap/pop user's connection in the temporal server? -- Angel L.

[Dovecot] more dsync issues
by Jeff Gustafson 23 Aug '12

23 Aug '12

It hit another dsync snag. We have a script that executes a dsync backup command to a remote host. No write should be happening on the remote host (the backup host). The error is: dsync-local(anonymous(a)domain.com): Error: remote: dsync-remote(anonymous(a)domain.com): Error: Can't delete mailbox INBOX: INBOX can't be deleted. dsync-remote(anonymous(a)domain.com): Error: command MSG-SAVE failed dsync-local(anonymous(a)domain.com): Error: read() from worker server failed: EOF dsync-local(anonymous(a)domain.com): Error: Unexpected reply from server: dsync-local(anonymous(a)domain.com): Warning: Mailbox changes caused a desync. You may want to run dsync again. We're currently running 2.1.7 since > 2.1.8 causes a problem with our webmail software. ...Jeff

[Dovecot] blf-crypt
by Sven Schwyn 23 Aug '12

23 Aug '12

Hi The blf-crypt password schema mentioned in the docs could be a solution to my auth problem. However, the docs state that actual support depends on the glibc. Mine apparently doesn't. Does support depend on the glibc's version (mine is 2.15-r2)? Maybe someone with access to a box with a good enough glibc could do the following and post the hash for the plain password "test"? doveadm pw -s BLF-CRYPT Enter new password: test With this I could verify whether the BLF-CRYPT scheme would solve my problem in the first place without going through the hassle of upping the glibc. Thanks a bunch!

[Dovecot] difference between namespace auto=subscribe and autocreate plugin
by Igor Zinovik 22 Aug '12

22 Aug '12

Hello. I read docs, but still do not understand difference between following configuration options: namespace inbox { # Create and subscribe to folder mailbox Drafts { auto=subscribe } and `autocreate' plugin plugin { autocreate = inbox.Drafts autosubscribe = inbox.Drafts On wiki page that describes `autocreate' plugin i read: ... mailboxes that must always exist for all users. So even if user delete Drafts IMAP folder on next connection server will create it. Is `mailbox' undocumented feature? I see it only in configuration file, but wiki does not mention it.

[Dovecot] How dovecot treats UTF8 mailbox names in sieve scripts and `namespace' section
by Igor Zinovik 22 Aug '12

22 Aug '12

Hello. I read on upgrading page that one can use UTF8 mailbox names for plugins. As i understand i do not need to convert UTF8 names to mUTF-7 and can use raw UTF8 in plugins section, e.g.: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf ... plugin { ... # Autocreate \Spam folder autocreate = Спам autosubscribe = Спам ... But what about sieve scripts and other configuration sections: 1. Do i need to convert UTF8 mailbox names in `namespace' section? namespace inbox { ... mailbox &BCEEPwQwBDw- { special_use = \Junk } 2. Do i need to convert UTF8 mailbox names in sieve scripts? /etc/dovecot/dovecot_before.sieve ... require ["reject","fileinto"]; # Put all spam into separete IMAP folder if header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" "YES" { fileinto "&BCEEPwQwBDw-"; }

[Dovecot] [PATCH] Replace hard-coded PKG_STATEDIR with state_dir setting
by Chris Webb 22 Aug '12

22 Aug '12

Sharing an installed copy of dovecot between several users each running a daemon within their own account (or using the same binaries for a system daemon and a user daemon) is difficult because the compile-time directory PKG_STATEDIR (typically /var/lib/dovecot) is hard-coded as the location of things like the ssl-parameters.dat file and the replicator database. Replace all these uses of PKG_STATEDIR with a state_dir setting which defaults to PKG_STATEDIR but can be overridden in dovecot.conf, in the same way base_dir can be used to override PKG_RUNDIR.

[Dovecot] Ways to poke and prod Dovecot?
by leam hall 21 Aug '12

21 Aug '12

I'm a newbie and want to learn more about Dovecot. I can install it in a test bed but am not sure how to run it so it shows me what it's doing but i'm not actually mailing stuff. Is there a doc somewhere? Thanks! Leam -- Mind on a Mission <http://leamhall.blogspot.com/>

[Dovecot] Search extensions
by Timo Sirainen 21 Aug '12

21 Aug '12

I'm thinking about adding at least one new SEARCH command extension to Dovecot: ability to search from any headers in the mail, including MIME headers in the body. So the idea is that you could somewhat quickly ask e.g. "show me all mails with pdf attachments": a search or x-anyheader application/pdf x-anyheader .pdf b fetch $ bodystructure The client can verify the results with the fetch. The "x-anyheader" can already be implemented without changes to full text search plugin, because all backends store message/MIME headers and body text separately. So, questions for the list, especially client developers: 1) What's a better name for x-anyheader? :) 2) Any other ideas about search extensions you'd want to see? Maybe I could get this standardized at some point. I think one other thing missing has been "show me messages that have attachments". I've thought about maybe creating a $hasattachments keyword for that, which the server could automatically set for new mails that it thinks has attachments (and clients can set/unset the keyword if wanted).

[Dovecot] Spaces in DN with AD auth
by Chris Visser 21 Aug '12

21 Aug '12

Hi guys, I'm back to fiddling with my Dovecot and AD intergation and I've noticed that if a DN contains spaces, dovecot doesn't bind to the AD server. I'm running: dovecot-2.1.1 exim-4.72 on CentOS 6.3 Exim binds fine with the DNs containing spaces, it's just dovecot that exhibits the symptoms.

[Dovecot] namespace from snapshots
by Karl Oulmi 21 Aug '12

21 Aug '12

hi all, I'm trying to give access to snapshots taken from by dell iscsi MD3200i to my maildirs users. snapshot are mounted in read only mode from my FreeBSD box. In my /usr/local/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf, I have : namespace inbox { inbox = yes } namespace da1 { prefix = INBOX.backup.da1. hidden = no list = yes inbox = no location = maildir:/da1/%u/Maildir type = private } I have two problems : - In my log, dovecot complain about the fact that my snapshot filsystem is read only Error: open(/da1/test2(a)toto.com/Maildir/.Trash/dovecot-uidlist) failed: Read-only file system The second problem is that through my thunderbird I can't see the Inbox saved in the snapshot (whereas I see Sent and Trash folders) If anyone could help me, It would be nice. Regard, Karl.

Re: [Dovecot] Hostname Based forwarding

Merrickville <merrickville(a)gmail.com> writes: > Is there a way to proxy based on the host name the client has configured in > his/her email client? (Like Apache VirtualHosts) I doubt it; the virtual name is not part of the IMAP protocol as it is in HTTP. The IMAP server is not told which hostname was mapped to its IP. You'll either have to add the @domain, or perhaps multi-home your host, remap one of your domains to the new IP, and add another running instance of dovecot to listen on that interface.

[Dovecot] Full text search in attachments

Hello, is it possible to use the Solr full text search plugin for indexing mail attachments? I found a very old patch and some hints regarding a fts_decoder script that I don't understand. Making Solr indexing PDF or Office files shouldn't be that difficult, but how can I enable the plugin to transfer the attachments to Solr? Best regards, Sebastian

[Dovecot] case insensitive acl
by Andre Rodier 19 Aug '12

19 Aug '12

Hello, I have notice that when I use ACL, the name of the user in the dovec-acl-list file is case sensitive. Because I use LDAP, the name of the users is case insensitive. Would it be possible to have an option in Dovecot, to ignore the case of the ACL ? This would be useful with some ACL managers, like roundcube ACL plugin, that uses an LDAP query to autocomplete the user name for the ACL. Kind regards, André

[Dovecot] Permission denied on dovecot.lda-dupes

Hi, I have converted my Imap Server from Courier to Dovecot in order to use sieve support.

[Dovecot] dsync \noselect on INBOX.INBOX skips sync of INBOX
by Nikolai Schupbach 19 Aug '12

19 Aug '12

Hi Timo, We have encountered an issue today with a number of migrations. Some customers have mailboxes on the source IMAP server that look like this: 3 LIST "" * * LIST () "." "INBOX" * LIST () "." "INBOX.Statements" * LIST () "." "INBOX.Draft" * LIST () "." "INBOX.Drafts" * LIST () "." "INBOX.Invoices" * LIST (\Noselect) "." "INBOX.INBOX" * LIST () "." "INBOX.Jokes" * LIST () "." "INBOX.Payslips" * LIST () "." "INBOX.Personal" When we run dsync it skips the INBOX presumably because of the Noselect on INBOX.INBOX. and the "imapc_list_prefix = INBOX" setting. Regards, Nikolai.

[Dovecot] maildir to sdbox offline conversion
by _ET_ 19 Aug '12

19 Aug '12

Hi all. I've just installed dovecot v2.1 in a multihomed, multiinstance setup, It took me two days to convert the old v1.1 configs, now everything works like charm! But. :) I have several maildir mailboxes, I decided to use the sdbox storage type instead. I ran into difficoulties using the dsync util. My virtual users are in an OpenLDAP DB on a differnet machine, and I do not have access to the database (I can authenticate the users from ldap, but cannot change or see anything) So it's not easy to do an "online" conversion and follow the instructions at dsync's wiki. Do you know a way how to simply tell dsync or a similar util the following dsync convert maildir:/data/vmail/domain/user sdbox:/newdata/vmail/domain/user without touching the ldap database, only the files on the disk. I can run this command as root on this mail server, if it is needed, I can run the command for each and every maildir. That's not a problem. any ideas, how this wouléd be the simpliest? -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/maildir-to-sdbox-offline-conversion-tp34274589p342745… Sent from the Dovecot mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Dovecot] Dsync and SIS
by Alex Crow 19 Aug '12

19 Aug '12

Hi all, Just to clarify, if we back up a dovecot 2 server with SIS for attachments and ALT storage by rsyncing it (including the SIS and ALT storage) to a remote server when it's idle (or at least almost entirely so), and run dovecot on that machine, would it seem feasible to restore backups from that server by using dysnc - specifically for the scenario where someone accidentally deletes emails/folders etc.? I've seen queries about SIS before but nothing specifically about this scenario. Cheers Alex -- This message is intended only for the addressee and may contain confidential information.

[Dovecot] Listen on multiple ports possible using same protocol?
by Michael Durket 18 Aug '12

18 Aug '12

Is it possible to have multiple Listen directives in a dovecot configuration file for the same protocol? I am running dovecot-1.2.11 and I want to be able to use the "standard port" as well as a test port: protocol imap { listen = *:143 listen = *:10143 ssl_listen = *:993 ssl_listen = *:10993 for example. Or is this more preferably done by pointing dovecot at different configuration files?

[Dovecot] Expire-tool does not delete duplicate messages (dovecot-1.2.17)
by Oleksii Krykun 17 Aug '12

17 Aug '12

Trying to implement expire plugin. expire-tool works fine. This delete expunged messages but not all of them. I have duplicate messages in appropriate folder. These messages are from expanding postfix aliases (e.g. postmaster@, hostmaster@, abuse@ etc. points to same mailbox and spam often sent to all of them. If duplicate message is received only one entry in dovecot-uidlist is created and only first of duplicates is deleted with expire-tool. Rest of duolicates are not deleted. Any suggestions. Thanks, Kryol

[Dovecot] dsync backup gets stuck... fails
by Jeff Gustafson 17 Aug '12

17 Aug '12

More dsync issues. We were running 2.1.7 and we updated to 2.1.9. Same problem with both versions. I'm getting an error 75 on about 40 boxes out of 1800. It is the same list of boxes every time we use 'dsync backup' to backup the server. dsync seems to stop communicating to the backup box (over ssh). strace just shows it sitting at a epoll_wait. Once the program quits (times out?), a 'du' shows the destination is smaller (200kbyte in one case). Has anyone else seen an exit code of 75? Nothing in the documentation mentions what exit code 75 could mean. What can I do to help the developers locate the bug? ...Jeff

[Dovecot] some mdbox mails get lost each day
by Christian Rößner 16 Aug '12

16 Aug '12

Hi, I have a strange problem here. I had installed Dovecot-2.1.6 on a customers setup. They have 102 mail accounts on the server. The started using this dovecot version on the 20th June. One mailbox suddenly started expunging mails. Not from the current day, but one week back in the past. First I thought about an Outlook issue. Some filter or archieving thing, but we did a test and on one day, the curstomer did not start Outlook first; instead he checked his mails with the SOGo-webinterface. We saw that mails got deleted again. I checked for sieve filters. None. I upgraded dovecot to 2.1.7, as I have not done any newer packages yet for Ubuntu (using my own PPA). Same problem one day later. I tested with telnet locally. Same result as in the client. I also did doveadm dump -t log and index and saw that there had been expunged mails. Yesterday I asked the customer to backup all his mails in Outlook. After that I renamed the whole mdbox folder of this account on the server and sent one test mail to recreate the mailbox. After that her restored his mail in Outlook. This morning her contacted me and said that all mails are ok right now and no mails have been erased anymore. Coud this been a corrupted index? I also chekced the storage/-folder and see that all mails are still on disk. Now he asked me if there is any way to get all the lost messaged back? It would be okay for him, if all mails since June are sent again, as he can clean his mailbox afterwards. So does somebody have an idea on how to solve this? Maybe scripting something in python and using local sendmail command? Or is there some doveadm voodoo to repair the index or unexpunge all mails?

[Dovecot] Hostname Based forwarding
by Merrickville 16 Aug '12

16 Aug '12

Trying to figure out hostname based IMAP proxy forwarding. I have two mail servers: mail.example.com mail.fakedomain.ca proxy server running dovecat/IMAPS, facing the Internet. *Both* names are DNS resolve(able), but.., both are the *same IP address.* For example: Joe configures his email client username: joe(a)example.com IMAP Addr: mail.example.com For example: Jane configures her email client username: jane(a)fakedomain.ca IMAP Addr: mail.fakedomain.ca So, now all clients must change their user-name in their email client to their full email address, because there is a Jane & Joe on "both" servers and..., dovecot proxies based on 'user name' Is there a way to proxy based on the host name the client has configured in his/her email client? (Like Apache VirtualHosts) This would be ideal, as the clients can then go back to using just their name as the username.

[Dovecot] v2.2 status update: IMAP NOTIFY extension and more
by Timo Sirainen 16 Aug '12

16 Aug '12

v2.2 hg now has support for NOTIFY extension. The only thing missing is support for SubscriptionChange events. Now would be a good time for IMAP clients to start implementing and testing it. :) I remember K9 developers at least said they were just waiting for Dovecot to support it first. v2.2 implements some other extensions also: BINARY, CATENATE and MOVE. Stephan has also implemented URLAUTH pretty far. Hopefully it gets finished in time for v2.2.0. I'll also try to implement the rest of the LEMONADE extensions: CONVERT, CONTEXT=SORT and URLAUTH=BINARY. I'm also considering implementing an SMTP submission server, which works only as a proxy to the real SMTP server. The benefits of it would mainly be: * It could support BURL command and other extensions required by LEMONADE. The real SMTP server would see only regular DATA commands. * Would make SMTP AUTH easy to implement regardless of what the real SMTP server is.

[Dovecot] bcrypt again
by Sven Schwyn 15 Aug '12

15 Aug '12

Hi I'd like Dovecot to consume a list of users exported from an external application which stores bcrypted passwords. This has been asked in the past, however, I'm not sure how to read the following reply: > If you are using Dovecot< 2.0 you can also use any of the algorithms > supported by your system's libc. But then you have to prefix the hashes > with {CRYPT} - not {{BLF,SHA256,SHA512}-CRYPT}. I'm on Dovecot 2.0.19. Does this mean that only the hashes listed with "doveadm pw -l" are supported and even if glibc can do bcrypt, the CRYPT scheme won't do the trick anymore? Thanks for your help!

Some details on our setup: Currently we have only one internal mail server (Postfix/Dovecot 2.0 - planning to move to 2.1), receiving mail from a gateway server (filtering spam/viruses) - a Cisco Ironport - which we are considering to replace with one (or a set of) cloud-based Postfix/Amavis-new/SpamAssassin/ClamAV VMs (currently in testing mode). Delivery uses Dovecot LDA. User accounts are LDAP-based. We use Maildir and the load is low (aside spam). Only about 250 users/mailboxes (4G each). All servers are CentOS 5.8 (planning move to 6.3) KVM VMs (on a cloud where we don't have control on the host, but on highly reliable hardware/networks). We can have VMs on two different clouds and we also have at least two different connections (routes) to the cloud(s) (to support HA). Any directions will be appreciated. Hoping to design an HA architecture but aiming to keep it simple and (as much as possible) easily maintainable one. Thanks for your response and help, Nick

[Dovecot] Running spamc during LMTP delivery
by martin f krafft 12 Aug '12

12 Aug '12

Hello list, we are using dovecot-lmtp for delivery to virtual users, and vmm[1] to manage them. 1. http://vmm.localdomain.org/ One nice feature of vmm is that every virtual user has their own UID/GID on the UNIX filesystem. There is no passwd entry, so no shell login, but each user effectively has a home directory and can run commands in isolation and with lowered privileges. This requires dovecot-lmtp because only the LMTP LDA runs with root rights and can drop privileges to become the specific user for which it is delivering mail. We would now like to run SpamAssassin with the possibility of using the antispam plugin to enable virtual users to train their databases. Do you have an idea how I could let dovecot-lmtp invoke spamc? Or an external command as a filter, to be run by the final user? Thanks, -- martin | http://madduck.net/ | http://two.sentenc.es/ "truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; truth isnt." -- mark twain spamtraps: madduck.bogus(a)madduck.net

This is the hard part. Depending on your preferred distro here are two nice webpages for this: http://wiki.mediatemple.net/w/(ve):Install_Postfix_with_Dovecot_on_CentOS http://workaround.org/ispmail Second step is to enable sieve, for witch you only need to uncomment the specific lines from dovecot.conf. For dovecot 1.2, you will have something like: protocols = pop3 pop3s imap imaps managesieve protocol lda { ... mail_plugins: quota sieve } protocol managesieve { } plugin { ... sieve=~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir=~/sieve } -- Best regards, Adrian Minta

[Dovecot] Dovecot LMTP - Delivered-To header weirdness
by Daniel Piddock 09 Aug '12

09 Aug '12

Hi, I'm not sure if this is a deliberate design decision or a technical limitation that I've missed. Please briefly explain if so :). Or a bug or feature request? When LMTP receives a mail with a single recipient it adds a Delivered-To header. However if the message is delivered in a batch that header isn't added. At first I thought maybe the LMTP was doing something with hardlinks but that doesn't appear to be the case (for rather obvious reasons.) Sample headers (single recipient): Return-Path: <user(a)domain.test> Delivered-To: <user(a)domain.test> Received: from mx.domain.test ([127.0.0.1]) by domain.test (Dovecot) with LMTP id ZNTPFX2NI1CcCwAAVMeomg for <user(a)domain.test>; Thu, 09 Aug 2012 11:14:21 +0100 Envelope-to: user(a)domain.test Delivery-date: Thu, 09 Aug 2012 11:14:21 +0100 Received: from host.domain.test ([172.16.252.1]:44058) by relay.domain.test ([172.16.252.120]:25) with esmtp id 1SzPkz-0000lz-7v (Exim 4.80) for user(a)domain.test (return-path <user(a)domain.test>); Thu, 09 Aug 2012 11:14:21 +0100 Message-ID: <50238D7D.2000707(a)domain.test> Date: Thu, 09 Aug 2012 11:14:21 +0100 From: User <user(a)domain.test> To: User <user(a)domain.test> Subject: test And an expansion list: Return-Path: <user(a)domain.test> Received: from mx.domain.test ([127.0.0.1]) by domain.test (Dovecot) with LMTP id Gf+yBmiNI1CECwAAVMeomg ; Thu, 09 Aug 2012 11:14:00 +0100 Envelope-to: expansion(a)domain.test Delivery-date: Thu, 09 Aug 2012 11:14:00 +0100 Received: from host.domain.test ([172.16.252.1]:44053) by relay.domain.test ([172.16.252.120]:25) with esmtp id 1SzPkd-0000ls-Qr (Exim 4.80) for expansion(a)domain.test (return-path <user(a)domain.test>); Thu, 09 Aug 2012 11:13:59 +0100 Message-ID: <50238D67.3090802(a)domain.test> Date: Thu, 09 Aug 2012 11:13:59 +0100 From: User <user(a)domain.test> To: Expansion <expansion(a)domain.test> Subject: test At the moment we've turned off batch delivery in the exim smtp transport (max_rcpt=1).

[Dovecot] dovecot+LDAP/AD encoding issue

Hello everybody, i have a problem with dovecot+Active Directory as Authentication-Service. I am not able to use special characters (äöüß (german umlaut)) within a password. Normally I would suggest that the ldap-query is done in UTF-8 but as I debugged the auth-process, I have seen that the password is ISO-8859-1 encoded. The "original" query (from roundcube for example) is UTF-8 encoded (I dumped the POST-Query). So far I wasn't able to find my error by myself or by searching the web.

I already check the source file dict-sql.c but i still can't figure it out. I store user info in a mysql table where only left (user) part of an email address is stored with foreign id for domain conected to domain table. The problem is administration because quota table have primary key whole email. Is there even possible to configure quota dict settings to use separate variables %n and %d like in user and password query? -- lp Uroš

[Dovecot] dsync and pop3 migration plugin fails for large inbox due to idle timeout
by Nikolai Schupbach 08 Aug '12

08 Aug '12

Timo, There is a problem with the dsync POP3 migration plugin when syncing a large INBOX. What happens is dsync establishes a connection to the POP3 server at the beginning of the sync, but then it sits there idle until it's used to sync the UIDLs. On a very large inbox with many thousands of messages it will be idle for longer than a POP3 server's idle timeout setting. When the UIDL sync occurs dsync produces the following errors (because the connection has been lost due to the POP3 server's inactivity timeout): dsync(first.last(a)test.co.nz): Error: pop3c(pop3.test.com): Server disconnected unexpectedly dsync(first.last(a)test.co.nz): Error: pop3_migration: Failed to get header for msg 13: Disconnected dsync(first.last(a)test.co.nz): Error: pop3_migration: Failed to get header for msg 14: Disconnected dsync(first.last(a)test.co.nz): Error: pop3_migration: Failed to get header for msg 15: Disconnected dsync(first.last(a)test.co.nz): Error: pop3_migration: Failed to get header for msg 16: Disconnected ... dsync(first.last(a)test.co.nz): Error: pop3_migration: Failed to get header for msg 14492: Disconnected dsync(first.last(a)test.co.nz): Error: pop3_migration: Failed to get header for msg 14493: Disconnected dsync(first.last(a)test.co.nz): Error: pop3_migration: Failed to get header for msg 14494: Disconnected Also at the end of the dsync it actually has an exit status of 0, but it shouldn't because the POP3 sync failed, and none of the UIDLs are retained. Dsync should try to keep the POP3 connection alive, by sending a regular 'NOOP' command to the POP3 server, or it should simply reconnect if sees the connection is lost. At the moment the only work around is to increase the POP3 server's idle timeout to a multi hour value, which isn't a good work around as it causes a lot of inactive POP sessions to bank up. Regards, Nikolai.

And using the option -v with: doveadm -v import -u guser mbox:/tmp/mbox/guser/restore_2012-05-08 restore_2012-05-08 all makes no difference at all, the same messages appear. The verbose option seems to be always on. Is this a bug or intended behaviour?

[Dovecot] Dovecot with Company - level Quota
by Kavish Karkera 08 Aug '12

08 Aug '12

Hi Timo, We are using maildir as quota-backend , and performing user level quota, which is working fine. (using dovecot 2.x ). Now the requirement is to , restrict the quota to client / company level along with user level quota. For. eg. We have a mailbox path like /mail/mailstore/10001/kavish.karkera(a)linoquery.com/Maildir/ where 10001 is Client code (unique number given to very client) instead of domain name. So there would be two quota's one at company level and other user level. Such as 10001(linoquery.com) = 5GB ---> Company Quota kavish.karkera(a)linoquery.com = 0 ? ---> User Quota If the sum of the user quota under 10001/* exceeds the 5GB limit then the mails for that particular domain should get bounced. Please Help , if this is possible. Regards, Kavish Karkera

[Dovecot] replication chain
by Костырев Александр Алексеевич 08 Aug '12

08 Aug '12

good day! I wonder if it is possible to make a chain of replication in dovecot 2.1.9. Now I'm using two way replication(I use proxy to redirect users) and it's working just fine but is it possible to setup replication like this: serverA ---> serverB --> server C <--- I've added additional mail_replica2 on serverB and after restart dovecot didn't complain about errors, with doveconf -n I am able to see two replica's settings but user's mails aren't replicating to server C. no errors in logs. I want to use server C as backup server with lvm snapshots.

Do the same user(s) have this problem and/or do each user have their own mail configuration for their mail readers? If yes, I would also check that the port and security protocol matches (i.e. clear/TLS/SSL on ports 110/110/995 respectively). Mismatched configurations could cause what you describe. Log messages could also be helpful here. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

Re: [Dovecot] redirect actions exceeds policy limit
by Mike Greene 07 Aug '12

Thank you David, I saw that in the share/docs but we didn't have the /conf.d/ folder or any of the extra conf files in place. I created that directory, copied the file over, made my changes and all is well again. Not sure why things were setup the way they were, after looking at the other files in conf.d it would appear the previous sysadmin had merged a lot of those bits and pieces into the main dovecot.conf file. Perhaps leftovers from v1.x days. Will likely address that down the road when we update that server. Mike Greene Rock Island Technology Solutions, Inc.

[Dovecot] Pigeonhole sieve include namespace regression
by Daniel Piddock 07 Aug '12

07 Aug '12

Hi, We've recently upgraded from Dovecot 1.2.15 with Sieve 0.1.18 (Debian Squeeze) to Dovecot 2.1.8 and Pigeonhole 0.3.1. We provide a selection of global sieve scripts to make users' lives easier and one noticed that some of these have stopped working. I tracked it down to them having personal scripts with the same name. Using a really simple sieve script: require "include"; include :personal "svn"; include :global "svn"; sievec debug output for sieve 0.1.18 (trimmed a bit): * Required extensions: 0: include (16) 1: fileinto (5) * Included personal script 'svn' (block: 3): [script code here] * Included global script 'svn' (block: 4): [script code here] * Main program (block: 1): 00000000: EXTENSIONS [1]: 00000001: include 00000002: INCLUDE: 00000004: script: svn.sieve [ID: 1, BLOCK: 3] 00000006: INCLUDE: 00000008: script: svn.sieve [ID: 2, BLOCK: 4] 0000000a: [End of code] sievec debug output for Pigeonhole 0.3.1: * Required extensions (block: 1): 0: include (id: 16; block: 4) 1: fileinto (id: 5) * Included personal script 'svn' (block: 5): [script code here] * Main program (block: 2): Address Line Code 00000000: DEBUG BLOCK: 3 00000001: EXTENSIONS [1]: 00000002: include 00000003: 2: INCLUDE: 00000005: script: `svn' from /home/notroot/sieve/svn.sieve [ID: 1, BLOCK: 5] 00000007: 3: INCLUDE: 00000009: script: `svn' from /home/notroot/sieve/svn.sieve [ID: 1, BLOCK: 5] 0000000b: 3: [End of code] As can be seen the personal script is included twice. Obvious work around is to rename the personal script. However it'd be nice if namespacing came back.

[Dovecot] connectionlimit for pop3s?
by Hajo Locke 07 Aug '12

07 Aug '12

Hello, i have a user who is able to do pop3 on port 110 without problems and without limits. There are ~10 real users using same public IP. When switching to port 995 to use pop3s he is limited at connection count. Some people can reach pop3s-server successful, some getting a timeout. I cant find any errors or limits within my config or in my log, there are no differences between using plain text and using tls. Are there some special loglines to grep for at this situation? Maybe i missed some lines... At the moment i dont see server-side problems. Somebody knows some typical clientside problems when this problem occurs? dovecot version is 1.2.11 Thanks, Hajo

[Dovecot] redirect actions exceeds policy limit
by Mike Greene 06 Aug '12

06 Aug '12

Hello, We have a vacation/mail forwarder plugin in squirrel mail that allows customers to forward email. It has come to my attention that there is a limit (appears to be 5) on the number of addresses that can be specified. I'm now trying to track down where this policy limit is set. This is the error we see in the customers .dovecot.sieve.log file: main_script: line 26: error: number of redirect actions exceeds policy limit. sieve: info: started log at Jul 25 07:02:54. I checked the following for possible settings: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf /usr/local/etc/sieve/dovecot.sieve /usr/local/etc/sieve/global.sieve I didn't see anything specific to limiting the number of redirects. I'm wondering where else I can look to find where this limit is coming from and adjust it upwards.

[Dovecot] authenticate plain and utf-8 with special chars
by Matthias Lay 04 Aug '12

04 Aug '12

Hi, I experienced some problems with authenticate. seems like the mail clients like thunderbird send their base64 string in ISO- encoding, which doesnt work on my dovecot setup if there are some Umlauts I am not able to login as "ömer" for example If I authenticate from telnet with an base64 encoded utf-8 string like 'echo -en "\0ömer\0Start12" |base64' everything works fine -dovecot 2.1.7 -userdb is an openldap which queries an windows AD so results are in utf8, I think. any clues at which point to fix this are welcome ;)

Hi Timo, by having errors like Cached message size smaller than expected and Maildir filename has wrong S value and Corrupted index cache file in dove 2.1.8 i can reproduce the problem with tb 14 with 2 nat machines connected to the same server the problem relates with create new folder then copy some uncompressed and compressed mail to it, the i.e open it by other client sometime this happens at once , sometime after a few copy actions however thunderbird ,then errors above apear, sometimes no mail is shown, sometimes only uncompressed or only compressed so funktion read both formats gets lost somehow any idea, you need a better debug ? -- Best Regards MfG Robert Schetterer

[Dovecot] Overriding inbox= in userdb extra fields
by Bret Martin 03 Aug '12

03 Aug '12

Hello, I'm trying to set up an alternate user with a different inbox using passwd-file and userdb extra fields and the extra field settings don't seem to be taking effect. I've used auth_debug and mail_debug and I'm unclear how I can further troubleshoot this. Is it possible to have inbox=yes in one namespace globally and then override this for one user by setting inbox=no for that namespace and then inbox=yes for another? My doveconf -n is below. I would like to have inbox=yes for the inbox namespace, inbox=no for the virtual namespace, and then be able to invert these for selected users using userdb extra fields. My attempt at doing this so far looks like bam-ios:[REDACTED]:500:500::/home/bam::user=bam namespace/inbox/inbox=no namespace/virtual/inbox=yes Changing the user with user= seems to work fine, but the inbox= changes don't. Here is some relevant log data.

[Dovecot] v2.1.9 released
by Timo Sirainen 03 Aug '12

03 Aug '12

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.1/dovecot-2.1.9.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.1/dovecot-2.1.9.tar.gz.sig I've again mostly finished reading and answering most of the mails in Dovecot mailing list. There are a couple annoyingly difficult / time consuming bugreport mails that I haven't replied to yet, but if anyone thinks I should have replied to something already feel free to resend the mail. For the new Redis/memcached dict stuff see http://master.wiki2.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/Dict and http://master.wiki2.dovecot.org/Quota/Dict I'm thinking about removing the new quota_ignore_save_errors=yes setting in v2.2 and just forcing it enabled always. Thoughts? (I didn't want to change v2.1 behavior by doing this.) The most important changes since v2.1.8: * mail-log plugin: Log mailbox names with UTF-8 everywhere (instead of mUTF-7 in some places and UTF-8 in other places) * director: Changed director_username_hash setting's default from %u to %Lu (= lowercase usernames). This doesn't break any existing installations, but might fix some of them. + doveadm: Added "auth cache flush [<username>]" command. + Implemented dict passdb/userdb + Implemented Redis and memcached dict backends, which can be used as auth backends. Redis can also be used as dict-quota backend. + Added plugin { quota_ignore_save_errors=yes } setting to allow saving a mail when quota lookup fails with temporary failure. - Full text search indexing might have failed for some messages, always causing indexer-worker process to run out of memory. - fts-lucene: Fixed handling SEARCH HEADER FROM/TO/SUBJECT/CC/BCC when the header wasn't lowercased. - fts-squat: Fixed crash when searching a virtual mailbox. - pop3: Fixed assert crash when doing UIDL on empty mailbox on some setups. - auth: GSSAPI RFC compliancy and error handling fixes. - Various fixes related to handling shared namespaces

[Dovecot] Antispam only when LMTP delivers some specific messages
by Sandro Tosi 03 Aug '12

03 Aug '12

Hello, we're setting up a weird platform where every incoming email is passed from the MTA directly to a tool that then uses dovecot LMTP to deliver the message into the user mailbox. We are legally *not* allowed to run antispam on all the incoming messages, but only on some of them, as they are recognized by the aforementioned tool; but given that tool directly uses LMTP to delivers the mail we need to find a way to parse the messages passing thru LMTP and run spamassassin only on those matching some regex on subject and mail body. Is is possible to do that with some dovecot LMTP feature? i've read a lot of documentation about how to possibly implement it and it *seems* there would be a way using pigeonhole sieve and extprograms - what do you think? The idea I have in mind is something like: 1. identify the mails we want to scan with spamassassin (using regex or whatever else to precisely pin-point them) 2. run SA on those 3. in case it's spam, rewrite the subject (or similar) Do you think it's something doable with dovecot?

[Dovecot] Problem with preserving MIME format with Dovecot IMAP and MS Outlook client
by Peter Grimmond 01 Aug '12

01 Aug '12

Hello all, Apologies for the repost, but I am really struggling to solve this problem... I have installed Dovecot 2.0.19 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I have set up a very basic IMAP configuration. I have two different laptops running MS Outlook (one MacOS, one Windows 7) and I have configured both to connect to the Dovecot service. My problem is, emails in MIME format that I synchronise from one MS Outlook client are not being correctly decoded as MIME messages on the other client. Instead, the message is rendered in plaintext, starting with the lines: This message is in MIME format. Since your mail reader does not understand this format, some or all of this message may not be legible. --B_3426360453_22814Content-type: multipart/alternative; boundary="B_3426360453_4099" --B_3426360453_4099Content-type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1"Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable Can anyone help me understand why this might be happening? The output from dovecot -n is: # 2.0.19: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.2.0-26-generic-pae i686 Ubuntu 12.04 LTS auth_debug = yes auth_verbose = yes disable_plaintext_auth = no mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir passdb { driver = pam } protocols = " imap" ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = passwd } Thanks!

[Dovecot] Erroneous operation not permitted when deleting mailbox with mdbox

[Dovecot] BUG: LDAP extension failed to authenticate if 'base' DN configuration is empty ''
by Hendy Irawan 01 Aug '12

01 Aug '12

Dear Dovecot developers, We have several context entries and want to authenticate a user against the whole LDAP server. However when setting "base = " Dovecot LDAP fails with following message: Jul 29 10:50:59 nitik1 dovecot: auth: Error: ldap(hendy(a)staging.member.berbatik.com,127.0.0.1): ldap_search((virtualMail=hendy(a)staging.member.berbatik.com)) failed: Other (e.g., implementation specific) error This limits the search to only one base DN, e.g. base = dc=staging,dc=berbatik,dc=com The ldap client library is able to search entries using an empty base DN, so it should be possible for Dovecot LDAP to do the same. An even more elegant solution will be the ability to specify multiple base DNs, but if Dovecot can search the "root DN" (empty string) it would be great. Thank you.

[Dovecot] mdbox with separate index location results in many emptydirectories
by Jürgen Obermann 31 Jul '12

31 Jul '12

Hallo, I use dovecot 2.1.7 with mdbox format and I specified a separate location for mailbox index files with mail_location = mdbox:/dovecot/storage%h:INDEX=/dovecot/index%h With this setting I get for every mailbox a directory under both filesystems /dovecot/index and /dovecot/storage, e.g. for the inbox it looks like that: # ls -lR /dovecot/index/home/hrz/myuser/mailboxes/INBOX /dovecot/storage/home/hrz/myuser/mailboxes/INBOX /dovecot/index/home/hrz/myuser/mailboxes/INBOX: total 49 -rw------- 1 myuser hrz 20480 Jul 20 11:12 dovecot.index.cache -rw------- 1 myuser hrz 1280 Jul 20 08:00 dovecot.index.log -rw------- 1 myuser hrz 301 Jul 19 16:45 dovecot.index.search -rw------- 1 myuser hrz 20 Jul 19 16:45 dovecot.index.search.uids /dovecot/storage/home/hrz/myuser/mailboxes/INBOX: total 3 drwx------ 2 myuser hrz 2 Jul 19 15:20 dbox-Mails /dovecot/storage/home/hrz/myuser/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails: total 0 As expected the index files now reside under /dovecot/index%h/mailboxes/, but the path /dovecot/storage%h/mailboxes/ also contains for every user and every mailbox name a directory which in turn contains only an empty subdirectory 'dbox-Mails'. These directories seem to me to sum up to a lot of unneded infrstructure objects. I tried to delete these empty directories, but dovecot did not like that and stopped to work. So somehow they are necessary, in spite of setting a separate index file location. So my question is, could these empty directories be avoided, perhaps in a future version?

[Dovecot] Empty argument in "executable = script ..." service
by Florian Wagner 31 Jul '12

31 Jul '12

Hi, what is the point of adding an empty argument to the command called by the "executable = script ..." setting in a service? I guess that would be the call to array_append_space at line 57 in util/script.c. Background is that I'm trying to run bogofilter through the extprograms Pigeonhole plugin. So I've defined a service entry with a unix_listener and wondered why my test shell script works but bogofilter exits with a cryptic error. Turns out that this empty argument at the end trips up the bogofilter argument parsing code. If I manually call bogofilter with execv and add that empty argument I get the same cryptic error. Regards Florian

[Dovecot] Dovecot Director behaviour when two or more fail
by Dominic Malolepszy 31 Jul '12

31 Jul '12

Hi, On the Dovecot wiki here http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Director it says the following: "The directors are going to connect to each others in a ring. For example if you have servers called A, B and C, director will create connections A->B, B->C and C->A" I am curious what happens in a scenario when two or more directors fail and potentially break a ring in half, do the active directors detect this and reform a new ring?

[Dovecot] Help needed with configuration giving dict error No such file

The host is running GNU/Linux 3.2.0-0.bpo.2-amd64 and on a xfs filesystem. Entries in /etc/dovecot/users look like this: jax@XXX.com:{plain}password The output from 'doveconf -n' is in the attachment to this mail message. I'm a beginner without experience with either IMAP servers or clients. Can you give me pointers to see what I'm missing that causes the errors logged as above? The user data base looks like this: userdb { args = uid=5000 gid=5000 home=/var/vmail/%d/%n/home mail=maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%n driver = static } Being a beginner, I wonder if is necessary to manually make home directories for each '/var/vmail/%d/%n/home'? I've tried test accounts with and without empty "home" directories at the indicated locations without seeing any difference in the error indications. Is it necessary to manually populate the "home" directories? Besides having no clue about the errors logged, I don't understand what it takes to make quotas work nor do I understand what options are available or advisable. The distribution wiki/QuotaMaildir.txt seems clear that the Maildif+++ backend is indicated but beyond that I remain in the dark. FWIW, I've yet to try a real IMAP client. Thank you for any pointers you can give me.

[Dovecot] Problem with running two dovecot instances on the same server
by Alexandr Sabitov 31 Jul '12

31 Jul '12

Hello All, Have anyone met the problem I am struggling with at the moment ? The problem is when I run two instances of dovecot 2.1.8 which are one for proxy-director and another one is a regular one on the same server then I have big amount of strange entries in the /var/log/mail.err: Jul 26 11:51:20 dovecot-test-1 dovecot: director: Error: Empty server list Jul 26 11:51:20 dovecot-test-1 dovecot: director: Fatal: Invalid value for director_mail_servers setting Jul 26 11:51:20 dovecot-test-1 dovecot: master: Error: service(director): command startup failed, throttling for 60 secs Jul 26 11:52:20 dovecot-test-1 dovecot: director: Error: Empty server list Jul 26 11:52:20 dovecot-test-1 dovecot: director: Fatal: Invalid value for director_mail_servers setting Jul 26 11:52:20 dovecot-test-1 dovecot: master: Error: service(director): command startup failed, throttling for 60 secs That's for sure set->director_mail_servers variable in main_preinit of ./src/director/main.c But after dumping it it turns out that ppid of the process which failed to use main_preinit function is a "regular" dovecot not the proxy one. When main_preinit is used by dovecot-proxy then set->director_mail_servers = ip address of a mail server and it is all good but if main_preinit is used by dovecot then set->director_mail_servers = empty and I get fatal errors in logs. So here is a question: How come that "non-proxy" dovecot requests director_mail_servers variable and writes fatal error in the logs if it doesn't find it ? Thank you very much for any assistance!

[Dovecot] maildir_copy_with_hardlinks on v.2.0.19
by mailing list subscriber 31 Jul '12

31 Jul '12

Hi, I'm trying to get the so-called "single instance store" (I think cyrus has got the name for the first time) with dovecot --version = 2.0.19 binary package installed from ubuntu 12.04 lts official repo. I have checked that "maildir_copy_with_hardlinks" is enabled ("dovecot -a|grep hard" shows "yes") then I have installed and enabled the lmtp component of dovecot. The configuration "dovecot -n" is pasted here: http://paste.lug.ro/131180 Also in the same paste is a strace against dovecot and childrent showing evidence of the MTA delivering a single copy of the message via LMTP with multiple RCPT TO: headers. However when looking in the Maildir, I see the mail break down into three separate files instead of expected hardlinked files ("stat" and "ls" shows one single link count, inodes are different) Given the above data, what (am I | dovecot is) doing wrong? Please cc me if you need additional input when replying as I'm not subscribed to the list (I'll watch the thread online only) Many thanks in advance.
