[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!

[Dovecot] HA Mailbox Design
by Nikolaos Milas 13 Aug '12

13 Aug '12

Hi, We would like to implement a Highly Available Mail Server and would like to ask advice on how to architect this. 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?

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.

[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).

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.

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.

[Dovecot] doveadm import is always verbose

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.

[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

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.

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

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. We are using the following dovecot / pigeonhole versions. dovecot-2.0.7 dovecot-pigeonhole-0.2.1 athena# dovecot -n # 2.0.7: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE amd64 auth_default_realm = rockisland.com auth_mechanisms = plain login cram-md5 auth_username_format = %Lu disable_plaintext_auth = no dotlock_use_excl = yes first_valid_gid = 1000 first_valid_uid = 1000 listen = * mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u mail_privileged_group = mail managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date passdb { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf driver = ldap } plugin { quota = maildir quota_rule = *:storage=2G quota_warning = storage=90%% /usr/local/sbin/quota-warning.sh 90 quota_warning2 = storage=80%% /usr/local/sbin/quota-warning.sh 80 sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/ sieve_global_dir = /usr/local/etc/sieve/ } protocols = imap pop3 service auth { unix_listener auth-client { mode = 0660 } unix_listener auth-master { group = vmail mode = 0600 user = vmail } unix_listener auth-userdb { group = vmail mode = 0600 user = vmail } user = root } service imap-login { service_count = 0 } service pop3-login { service_count = 0 } ssl_cert = </usr/local/etc/ssl/star.rockisland.com.crt.pem ssl_key = </usr/local/etc/ssl/star.rockisland.com.key.pem userdb { driver = prefetch } userdb { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf driver = ldap } verbose_proctitle = yes protocol imap { imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail tb-extra-mailbox-sep mail_plugins = quota imap_quota } protocol pop3 { mail_plugins = quota pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv } protocol lda { auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master info_log_path = lda_mailbox_autocreate = no lda_mailbox_autosubscribe = yes log_path = mail_plugins = quota sieve postmaster_address = postmaster(a)rockisland.com sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail } Mike Greene Rock Island Technology Solutions, Inc.

[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 ;)

[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.

[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? Thanks in advance, -- Sandro Tosi Product Engineer Shared Hosting Products R&D | Dada.pro eml sandro.tosi(a)register.it

[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
by Nikolai Schupbach 01 Aug '12

01 Aug '12

I'm seeing the following error in our logs when removing mailboxes (we are using mdbox and dovecot 2.1.8): Aug 1 20:03:36 msgsrv dovecot: imap(test(a)test.com): Error: stat(/mailstore/domains/test.com/test/mdbox/mailboxes/Spam) failed: Operation not permitted Aug 1 20:03:36 msgsrv dovecot: imap(test(a)test.com): Mailbox deleted: Spam When I run truss against the process it appears the error relates to attempted unlink of a directory, not a stat of it, as reported by the log.

[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.

Evolution seems to be in pretty widespread > use. Wondering what others like and use heavily. Hi Chris, I tried Evolution once about 10 years ago, and it was too complex and comprehensive for me to understand. The centerpiece of my emailing activity is a Dovecot IMAP server on my daily driver desktop computer. The way it works is that fetchmail grabs all my email from my various POP accounts, pushes them through procmail, whose filters distribute the emails into the proper Dovecot IMAP directories (and also /dev/null stuff from PITA people). As far as I know, my Dovecot has never malfunctioned. Currently, I access my local IMAP with Claws-Mail. Claws is capable, robust, and does what I need without being an ecological disaster like Kmail or intermittently pig slow like Thunderbird. Claws' configuration is difficult to wrap your head around, and very much in need of better documentation, but so far, thanks to a knowledgeable and helpful user community on the mailing list, I've been able to make almost every config change to speed my interaction with Claws. My one complaint about Claws that can't be cured by documentation is its propensity to do everything with one process and one thread, so while you're sending an email or scanning your IMAP, you cannot look at other emails. I also wanted their powerful search to be able to recurse folders, and when nobody volunteered to do it, I tried to do it myself. Making something recursive sounds like simply a matter of writing a simple loop around the existing functionality, but what I found out is, at least this part of Claws was written in a manner resembling MVC, with process and UI completely commingled. For that reason I was unable to make it recursive. I have Claws on my daily driver and all my laptops. Thanks to Kevin Korb's instructions, on the laptops I was able to tell Claws its IMAP server was at 127.0.0.1. I pinholed my OpenBSD/pf firewall appliance to port forward incoming ssh to my daily driver. Then, on my laptop, if I'm at home and on the LAN, I run the following inhouse.sh sudo ssh -NTL 993:127.0.0.1:993 slitt(a)192.168.1.88 While on the road I run this travelling.sh: sudo ssh -NTL 993:127.0.0.1:993 slitt(a)99.99.99.99 In the preceding, 99.99.99.99 is the IP address my ISP gave me, while 192.168.1.88 is the LAN IP address of my daily driver. This makes 127.0.0.1:993 get pushed through ssh to the ISP supplied internet address or the LAN address. So I can use Claws to interact with my daily driver desktop anywhere I go. I'm extremely pleased with this setup. My IMAP tree is trivial to back up, and gives me the assurance that if Claws-Mail ever commits suicide the way Kmail did when they went to Kmail2, I can simply plug in a different IMAP enabled email client. Meanwhile, Claws gives me an extremely productive and easy to use user interface. With my client/server setup, I no longer need to copy all my email too and from the laptop when travelling. I'm going to present on my remote use of my daily driver desktop Dovecot, using Claws and ssh, at tomorrow night's GoLUG meeting.

[Dovecot] Address extensions
by Armistead, Kurt 31 Jul '12

31 Jul '12

Hi guys, I'm trying to set up in-mailbox routing for messages using the + delimiter. The server runs postfix and dovecot 1.2.15. I have re-defined the delivery service in master.cf as "-f ${sender} -d ${user}@${nexthop} -n -m INBOX.${extension}" (server was formerly courier) but the routing only works when the destination folder has no uppercase characters. "Folder1" doesn't deliver correctly while "folder2" does. What am I doing wrong? Kurt

[Dovecot] mysql auth failover failing
by Paul B. Henson 29 Jul '12

29 Jul '12

We are running dovecot to provide authentication for postfix, using two mysql servers in a multi-master replication set as the password source: ---------------------------------------- # 2.0.13: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.37-gentoo-r4 x86_64 Gentoo Base System release 2.0.2 auth_mechanisms = plain login digest-md5 cram-md5 auth_verbose = yes passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf driver = sql } protocols = none service auth-worker { unix_listener auth-worker { user = postfix } user = $default_internal_user } service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } user = postfix } ssl = no userdb { driver = passwd } --------------------------------------- With an sql config of: ------------------------- driver = mysql connect = host=mysql-1.unx.csupomona.edu host=mysql-2.unx.csupomona.edu dbname=idmgmt user=postfix password=XXXXXXX default_pass_scheme = PLAIN password_query = XXXXXXXXX ------------------------- According to the sample SQL configuration file "HA / round-robin load-balancing is supported by giving multiple host settings, like: host=sql1.host.org host=sql2.host.org". However, as far as I can tell dovecot only connects to the first listed host, and processes all queries through it, there does not appear to be any load-balancing going on. That's not necessarily a dealbreaker; however, high-availability does not appear to be working either. If I shutdown the first mysql server, dovecot starts to log connection failures: Sep 9 15:47:34 tweak dovecot: auth: Error: mysql(mysql-1.unx.csupomona.edu): Connect failed to database (idmgmt): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'mysql-1.unx.csupomona.edu' (111) - waiting for 1 seconds before retry Sep 9 15:47:39 tweak dovecot: auth: Error: mysql(mysql-1.unx.csupomona.edu): Connect failed to database (idmgmt): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'mysql-1.unx.csupomona.edu' (111) - waiting for 25 seconds before retry And postfix starts to fail authentications: Sep 9 15:47:35 tweak postfix/smtpd[5119]: warning: bender.iitsys.csupomona.edu[134.71.250.134]: SASL DIGEST-MD5 authentication failed: Connection lost to authentication server Now and again the authentication process dies: Sep 9 15:47:39 tweak dovecot: auth: Panic: file auth-request-handler.c: line 697 (auth_request_handler_flush_failures): assertion failed: (auth_request->state == AUTH_REQUEST_STATE_FINISHED) Sep 9 15:47:39 tweak dovecot: auth: Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x3f71a) [0x7f25822ca71a] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x3f766) [0x7f25822ca766] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x198ca) [0x7f25822a48ca] -> dovecot/auth() [0x4137f4] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handle_timeouts+0xd4) [0x7f25822d5fe4] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0x5b) [0x7f25822d6bcb] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x28) [0x7f25822d5c48] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(master_service_run+0x13) [0x7f25822c3de3] -> dovecot/auth(main+0x2be) [0x4179de] -> /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xfd) [0x7f2581898bbd] -> dovecot/auth() [0x40bdc9] Sep 9 15:47:39 tweak dovecot: master: Error: service(auth): child 4154 killed with signal 6 (core dumps disabled) Requests start to pile up: Sep 9 15:51:46 tweak dovecot: auth: Warning: auth workers: Auth request was queued for 25 seconds, 45 left in queue Lookups time out: Sep 9 15:57:22 tweak dovecot: auth: Error: auth worker: Aborted request: Lookup timed out This occasionally pops up: Sep 9 15:58:38 tweak dovecot: auth: Fatal: net_connect_unix(auth-worker) failed: Resource temporarily unavailable And sometimes the auth process gets temporarily disabled: Sep 9 15:58:57 tweak dovecot: master: Error: service(auth): command startup failed, throttling Resulting in more postfix authentication failures: Sep 9 15:58:57 tweak postfix/smtpd[6531]: warning: bender.iitsys.csupomona.edu[134.71.250.134]: SASL DIGEST-MD5 authentication failed: Sep 9 15:59:08 tweak postfix/smtpd[6551]: fatal: no SASL authentication mechanisms To the point where postfix also temporarily throttles smtpd: Sep 9 15:59:21 tweak postfix/master[6526]: warning: /usr/lib64/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup -- throttling Resulting in a complete unavailability of smtp service, not just unavailability of authenticated services. I don't think all authentications fail during the scenario, but I think the majority do. Based on the network traffic, dovecot is almost continuously trying to connect to the first listed server. It sometimes connects to the second listed server, but when it does, the connection does not persist, it goes away almost immediately. Ideally, I would like no authentications to fail if one of the MySQL servers is unavailable. If a few fail just when the server dies, that would be undesirable but acceptable as long as they do not continuously fail while the server is down. Am I doing something wrong? Does the example sql config have incorrect information? We were previously running dovecot 1.2.11, we just recently upgraded to 2. In the previous version, we actually had two different passdb's configured, each one listing only one of the mysql servers. I seem to recall that was the recommendation at the time for high-availability. When that configuration did not seem to work under version 2, I found an updated recommendation to list both servers in the same passdb, which also does not appear to work correctly. I actually went back and tested the older version, and determined it seemed to work okay in the case where the server was up but the service was down, and connections were refused, but also failed a large number of authentication attempts when the server was completely down and connections were timing out.

[Dovecot] Problem with preserving MIME format with Dovecot IMAP and Outlook
by Peter Grimmond 29 Jul '12

29 Jul '12

Hello, 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 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 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 understandthis 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!

Dumping out this field using doveadm -ftab fetch -A \ "mailbox date.saved" \ $ mailbox Trash OR mailbox Junk OR mailbox "Deleted Items" $ it seems the timestamps do not actually correspond to when the client moves messages to their trash folder, but rather, to the time I query for it i.e. a query instantiates this value. This timestamp is then retained. In practice, if this query is done on a periodic interval (e.g. daily), the date.saved will be roughly correct, and is usable as an age test for expungement. Is there a way to force this value to be cached when the client actually saves or moves a message? Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

[Dovecot] [PATCH] Pop3/imap ordering in courier-dovecot-migrate.pl
by Pavel Stano 28 Jul '12

28 Jul '12

Hi, current version of courier migration script courier-dovecot-migrate.pl preserve order of POP3 UIDLs, but it keep IMAP UIDs not in order which cause problems with clients using IMAP along with POP3 in some cases. Attached patch use MAIL_FETCH_POP3_ORDER feature added in version 2.0.13 to keep POP3 and IMAP UID[L]s in order. -- [ Ohodnotte kvalitu mailu: http://nicereply.com/websupport/4afafd34/ ] Pavel Stano | admin team http://WebSupport.sk *** TAKE AND ENJOY ***

[Dovecot] Dsync replication
by list＠airstreamcomm.net 28 Jul '12

28 Jul '12

I have been loosely following discussions dsync replication, but I am wondering if this tool still in a testing phase or has it been committed as a production part of Dovecot? I would like to do some testing with the protocol to see if it's capable of handling the change rate our mail service generates, which has about 23,000 active users. We are trying to find solutions for a two site setup where mail processing is either being done at the primary data center A and fails over to a hot standby cluster at the secondary data center B, or where both data centers are doing active processing. I have been unable to find documentation on dsync replication on the wiki, so if there is any documentation available on how to setup dsync replication I would appreciate a nudge in the right direction.

[Dovecot] fts-lucene vs SEARCH HEADER
by Matthew Powell 28 Jul '12

28 Jul '12

Hello. This is in Dovecot 2.1.7 on Linux x86, but it looks as though 2.1.8 has the same issue. I'm using fts-lucene. SEARCH HEADER TO returns no results, but SEARCH TO works: B SEARCH TO TEST * SEARCH 1 2 3 4 5 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 24 26 27 28 29 31 B OK Search completed (0.000 secs). C SEARCH HEADER TO TEST * SEARCH C OK Search completed (0.000 secs). Without FTS enabled, both forms of the query work. It looks as though the header names are indexed in lower case. But Dovecot is passing the header name to the backend in upper case when SEARCH HEADER is used. I'm not sure whether this is the *right* fix, but lower-casing the header name in lucene-wrapper.cc seems to fix the problem: --- dovecot-2.1.7-clean/src/plugins/fts-lucene/lucene-wrapper.cc 2011-12-13 06:35:29.000000000 -0500 +++ dovecot-2.1.7/src/plugins/fts-lucene/lucene-wrapper.cc 2012-07-24 14:03:14.000000000 -0400 @@ -1094,7 +1094,7 @@ return false; q = lucene_get_query(index, - t_lucene_utf8_to_tchar(index, arg->hdr_field_name, FALSE), + t_lucene_utf8_to_tchar(index, t_str_lcase(arg->hdr_field_name), FALSE), arg); break; default: Now: B SEARCH TO TEST * SEARCH 1 2 3 4 5 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 24 26 27 28 29 31 B OK Search completed (0.000 secs).

[Dovecot] Auto logging-out client
by Nicolás 28 Jul '12

28 Jul '12

Hi list! I'm writing because of an issue I'm having with my Postfix-Dovecot installation. Everything's working fine but when an IMAP client is idle for some time, Dovecot automatically logs it out. Jul 26 14:01:16 mail dovecot: imap(nicolas(a)devels.es): Disconnected: Logged out bytes=1271/7439 This entails errors when trying to send e-mails after this auto logout, such as: host devels.es[91.215.158.237] said: 550-Please turn on SMTP Authentication in your mail client, or login to the 550-IMAP/POP3 server before sending your message. Which result in a very annoying and continuous proccess of restarting my mail client. Is there a way to avoid this auto-logout, or at least configure the time after I want idle clients to auto-logout? Thank you very much! Nicolás

[Dovecot] Slightly OT - Winbind and remote authentication.
by Simon Brereton 28 Jul '12

28 Jul '12

Hi I was doing some research on setting up a samba server for my internal network (as an alternative to NAS). The setup looks easy enough, but then I got to thinking - I already have an internet host with an mysql DB that has usernames and passwords and it would be simpler all round to reuse that as the authentication server. That server is also running Dovecot, so I thought it might be simpler still to set up samba to authenticate using IMAP (the mysql server is not accessible on port 3306 anyway). A quick google resulted in a suggestion from Robert (who by now must be on every single list I'm on or rather vice-versa) about using winbind. I went off to the link he posted - http://wiki.dovecot.org/Authentication/Mechanisms/Winbind?highlight=%28winb… and the problem is that seems to indicate bind and dovecot are on the same server. So, this not being the samba list notwithstanding, is it possible to use a remote dovecot host as an authentication back-end on a local samba installation? Cheers Simon

[Dovecot] Problem overriding default quota limit
by RAUL JAREÑO MORAGO 28 Jul '12

28 Jul '12

Hi, We get user's quota limit from LDAP. It works fine when user has quota attribute in LDAP (this is when it's different from default quota). But when user doesn't have quota limit attribute Dovecot doesn't take default value defined in quota plugin and assign unlimit quota to user. Our configuration is similar to the example from wiki ( http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Quota/Configuration ). This is the plugin configuration _plugin {_ _ quota = maildir:User quota_ _ quota_rule = *:storage=1G_ _ .........._ _}_ And this is the recovered fields in LDAP search: _user_attrs = mailMessageStore=home,mailquotasize=quota_rule=*:bytes=%$_ It works if user has mailquotasize in its LDAP entry. But if it hasn't it Dovecot assign 0 instead of *:STORAGE=1G This is the log when LTMP deliver a mail to a user without mailquotasize attribute: _auth: Debug: master in: USER#0111#011eepp68#011service=lmtp#011lip=172.31.100.120#011lport=24#011rip=172.31.100.119#011rport=41452_ _auth: Debug: userdb-cache(eepp68,172.31.100.119): miss_ _auth: Debug: ldap(eepp68,172.31.100.119): user search: base=o=Junta de Castilla-La Mancha,c=ES scope=subtree filter=(uid=eepp68) fields=mailMessageStore,MAILQUOTASIZE_ _auth: Debug: ldap(eepp68,172.31.100.119): result: mailMessageStore=/buzones1/e/eepp68; MAILQUOTASIZE MISSING_ _auth: Debug: master out: USER#0111#011eepp68#011home=/buzones1/e/eepp68#011QUOTA_RULE=*:BYTES=_ _lmtp(8235): Debug: auth input: eepp68 home=/buzones1/e/eepp68 quota_rule=*:bytes=_ _lmtp(8235): Debug: Added userdb setting: plugin/quota_rule=*:bytes=_ _lmtp(8235, eepp68): Debug: Effective uid=11184, gid=2110, home=/buzones1/e/eepp68_ _lmtp(8235, eepp68): Debug: Quota root: name=User quota backend=maildir args=_ _lmtp(8235, eepp68): Debug: Quota rule: root=User quota mailbox=* bytes=0 messages=0_ I tried it with defining default_fields in userdb but I get the same result: _userdb {_ driver = ldap args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap-lmtp.conf.ext default_fields = quota_rule=*:bytes=1073741824 } If I don't recover mailquotasize (user_attrs = mailMessageStore=home) Dovecot assign default quota limit, so it works in this case: auth: Debug: master in: USER#0111#011eepp68#011service=lmtp#011lip=172.31.100.120#011lport=24#011rip=172.31.100.119#011rport=41427 auth: Debug: userdb-cache(eepp68,172.31.100.119): miss auth: Debug: ldap(eepp68,172.31.100.119): user search: base=o=Junta de Castilla-La Mancha,c=ES scope=subtree filter=(uid=eepp68) fields=mailMessageStore auth: Debug: ldap(eepp68,172.31.100.119): result: mailMessageStore=/buzones1/e/eepp68 auth: Debug: master out: USER#0111#011eepp68#011home=/buzones1/e/eepp68 lmtp(8198): Debug: auth input: eepp68 home=/buzones1/e/eepp68 lmtp(8198, eepp68): Debug: Effective uid=11184, gid=2110, home=/buzones1/e/eepp68 lmtp(8198, eepp68): Debug: Quota root: name=User quota backend=maildir args= lmtp(8198, eepp68): Debug: Quota rule: root=User quota mailbox=* bytes=1073741824 messages=0 Any idea about where is the problem?

The default is not taken since your LDAP query returns a quota_rule with an empty bytes= value when the mailquotasize entry is missing.

Hi, I'm having a weird issue with dovecot 2.1.7 (using the latest thunderbird client). Something, I have emails that mark themselves as read on their own. No one touches them, and they get marked as read. I try to re-mark them as unread, but a few seconds later, they get marked as read again. The same problem happens in reverse (emails marks as unread become read). Has anyone ever experienced anything similar? I cannot see any warnings or errors in the dovecot logs, so I'm not sure if the problem is with thunderbird or with dovecot. However, I have never had this issue before switching from dovecot 1.0.X to dovecot 2.1.X. Unfortunately, we updated the thunderbird versions around the same time, so I feel like a dog chasing my tail on this issue. Any help would be appreciated. Regards, -Joe

I don't think anybody can give you any concrete idea of how to change your dovecot setup without a lot more information. It appears to me you'll have to do a clean re-do of your dovecot setup, using your old configuration as a reference. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>
