[Dovecot] Error with Dovecot LDA when using recipient address misses user part
by Nikolaos Milas 23 Jun '11

23 Jun '11

Hi, We are using Postfix 2.8.3 with Dovecot 2.0.13 on CentOS 5.6. The problem we have is that sometimes, due to mail sender's error when composing a message, the sender attempts to send an email to "@noa.gr" (without specifying the user part of the address). This results in a Postfix error due to Dovecot LDA use: Jun 22 21:05:31 vmail postfix/pipe[31862]: CC89FC4D210: to=<@noa.gr>, relay=dovecot, delay=0.41, delays=0.24/0.013/0/0.15, dsn=5.3.0, status=bounced (command line usage error. Command output: /usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda: option requires an argument -- d Usage: dovecot-lda [-c <config file>] [-a <address>] [-d <username>] [-p <path>] [-f <envelope sender>] [-m <mailbox>] [-e] [-k] ) Postfix master.cf is configured as: dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -f ${sender} -d ${user} Obviously this happens because in this case there is no ${user} data. My question is: Can we somehow configure things in a way so as to avoid this error when someone sends an email with blank sender data? Can Dovecot provide some meaningful message to postfix (like "No user specified") instead of failing with a "command line usage error"? Thanks, Nick

Can anyone explain what this numbers represent. Thank you Alex

[Dovecot] Mysql access denied
by list＠airstreamcomm.net 23 Jun '11

23 Jun '11

Currently using dovecot 2.0.12 and mysql server 4.0.20 (I know, it's really old) and having issues getting Dovecot to authenticate to the mysql server. We have confirmed that the credentials are correct and the host machine can access the database, however we are getting the following error: Jun 23 08:12:50 hostname dovecot: auth: Error: mysql(databaseserver.com): Connect failed to database (database): Access denied for user: 'sqladmin(a)ip.of.host.machine' (Using password: YES) - waiting for 1 seconds before retry We are assuming this has something to do with the password hashing algorithm in older versions of mysql, but we are hoping to confirm this theory and find a solution. Thanks.

[Dovecot] Custom Trash (etc) location
by fusionstream 23 Jun '11

23 Jun '11

Hi there. I have dovecot 1.2.17 installed on me system. I'd like to create a gmail-esque imap tree where all imap folders except for the inbox are in a subdirectory(?). More importantly, I'd like the email client (specifically thunderbird) to be able to recognise the folders and thusly give it a special trash/junk/etc icon which I presume also makes trash and junk go to, well the truash and junk folders automagically. Based on searching the web, I believe that namespaces are the solution. I believed that I had set it up to be 1) Inbox 2) IMAP - Drafts - Junk - Trash - etc However, when trying to use namespaces, I get IMAP.Drafts, IMAP.Junk and all the other folders also appearing in INBOX, in addition to another top-level IMAP.*. What am I doing wrong? If I understand the solutions posted on the web correctly, solving this (resulting in only one of each type of folder) should make thunderbird automagically recognise these "special folders". This is my configuration: # 1.2.17: /etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.18-238.12.1.el5 i686 CentOS release 5.6 (Final) ext3 ssl_ca_file: /etc/postfix/ssl/cacert.pem ssl_cert_file: /etc/postfix/ssl/smtpd.crt ssl_key_file: /etc/postfix/ssl/smtpd.key login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login first_valid_uid: *[removed]* last_valid_uid: *[removed]* first_valid_gid: *[removed]* last_valid_gid: *[removed]* mail_location: maildir:/var/spool/mail/virtual/%d/%n mail_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugins(default): autocreate mail_plugins(imap): autocreate mail_plugins(pop3): mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 imap_client_workarounds(default): outlook-idle delay-newmail imap_client_workarounds(imap): outlook-idle delay-newmail imap_client_workarounds(pop3): pop3_client_workarounds(default): pop3_client_workarounds(imap): pop3_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh namespace: type: private separator: . prefix: INBOX. inbox: yes list: yes subscriptions: yes namespace: type: private separator: . prefix: IMAP. list: yes subscriptions: yes lda: postmaster_address: postmaster(a)example.com auth default: mechanisms: plain login user: dovecot-auth passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/mysql.conf userdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/mysql.conf socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 509 user: postfix group: postfix plugin: autocreate: IMAP.Trash autocreate2: IMAP.Spam autocreate3: IMAP.Sent Mail autocreate4: IMAP.Drafts autosubscribe: IMAP.Trash autosubscribe2: IMAP.Spam autosubscribe3: IMAP.Sent Mail autosubscribe4: IMAP.Drafts Any help appreciated.

[Dovecot] Change passwd backend over cron: what happens if changes while reading?
by Denny Schierz 22 Jun '11

22 Jun '11

hi, I want to use two backends für DoveCot. One generated file from the LDAP tree, and the real LDAP. The first backend is generated from a cronjob thats reads the whole ldap server and converts them into a DoveCot passwd file. I red in the Wiki, if the user password isn't correct, than DoveCot asks the second backend (LDAP). Is this correct? Because, the the user can change his password, but Cron generates only every hour the file. So the password in the passwd-file isn't correct, until Cron runs again. The second, what happens, if Dovecot reads the file and in the same moment, Cron generate the new file? Does he change to the second backend? Or do I (the user) get an error? cu denny

[Dovecot] Performance settings for 500-1000User/per day
by Denny Schierz 22 Jun '11

22 Jun '11

hi, we have 2.0.13 running and most works well, but today we had some minor problems: The IMAP login process takes sometimes to much time. Over webmail (Roundcube 0.5.0.3) login wasn't sometimes possible, the normal clients hasn't any problems, until they login. We had only ~ 20-30 active accounts, but 50-60 sessions. The most are Apple products (Ip*/Mac/. ..)because they have 4 sessions or more open. Also we had ~212 processes with: dovenull 2065 4364 0 14:50:32 ? 0:00 dovecot/imap-login vmail 2403 4364 0 14:58:31 ? 0:00 dovecot/imap So, maybe, it's a miss configuration ....

[Dovecot] high number of processes
by Egbert Jan van den Bussche 22 Jun '11

22 Jun '11

Hi, Sometimes a script kiddie tries to guess passwords on our mailserver (Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS, postfix, dovecot 1.2.9, scanners, the standard stuff). That leads to a nagios message about the high number of processes. The number goes above 500. Nagios threshold is set to 250, which is more than enough for normal operation of this server. When are these processes supposed to die again? They seem to stay at the high count quite long. Is there a way to limit the generation of extra login processes? Can I tune the login_process... params a bit? I have then all on default. dovecot - n below: root@mail-dev:/etc/dovecot# dovecot -n # 1.2.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-32-server x86_64 Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS log_path: /var/log/dovecot/error.log info_log_path: /var/log/dovecot/info.log log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: imap pop3 imaps pop3s listen: *, [::] ssl_cert_file: /disk/site/etc/ssl/hobby.nl/hobby.nl.crt ssl_key_file: /disk/site/etc/ssl/hobby.nl/hobby.nl.key ssl_cipher_list: ALL:!LOW:!SSLv2:ALL:!aNULL:!ADH:!eNULL:!EXP:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-login first_valid_uid: 200 mail_privileged_group: vmail mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir mmap_disable: yes dotlock_use_excl: no mail_nfs_storage: yes mail_nfs_index: yes mbox_write_locks: fcntl dotlock mail_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-wrapper.sh mail_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-wrapper.sh mail_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-wrapper.sh mail_plugins: convert autocreate mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/pop3 imap_client_workarounds(default): outlook-idle delay-newmail imap_client_workarounds(imap): outlook-idle delay-newmail imap_client_workarounds(pop3): pop3_client_workarounds(default): pop3_client_workarounds(imap): pop3_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh lda: postmaster_address: postmaster deliver_log_format: msgid=%m: %$ rejection_subject: Rejected: %s rejection_reason: Your message to <%t> was automatically rejected:%n%r auth_socket_path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master auth default: mechanisms: plain login realms: kader.hcc.nl hobby.nl default_realm: kader.hcc.nl cache_size: 1024 cache_ttl: 10 passdb: driver: pam args: failure_show_msg=yes cache_key=%u dovecot passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 user: vmail group: vmail plugin: convert_mail: mbox:/disk/mail/convert/%n autocreate: Trash autocreate2: Sent autocreate3: Drafts autocreate4: Spam autosubscribe: Trash autosubscribe2: Sent autosubscribe3: Drafts autosubscribe4: Spam login_process defaults: #login_user = dovecot #login_process_size = 64 #login_process_per_connection = yes #login_processes_count = 3 #login_max_processes_count = 128 #login_max_connections = 256 lsof -n output (part of long list): dovecot-a 12941 root 17u unix 0xffff88012a457300 0t0 13606994 /var/run/dovecot/login/default dovecot-a 12941 root 18u unix 0xffff8800272bd800 0t0 13565904 /var/run/dovecot/login/default dovecot-a 12941 root 19u unix 0xffff8800a68a9800 0t0 13610586 /var/run/dovecot/login/default TNX for any advise!

An example: # Sieve Filter # Generato da Ingo (http://www.horde.org/ingo/) (10/06/2011, 04:45:07) require ["vacation", "regex"]; # Vacanze if allof ( not exists ["list-help", "list-unsubscribe", "list-subscribe", "list-owner", "list-post", "list-archive", "list-id", "Mailing-List"], not header :comparator "i;ascii-casemap" :is "Precedence" ["list", "bulk", "junk"], not header :comparator "i;ascii-casemap" :matches "To" "Multiple recipients of*" ) { if header :regex "Received" "^.*(2011) (\$.*\$ )?..:..:.. (\$.*\$ )?(\\+|\\-)....( \$.*\$)?$" { if header :regex "Received" "^.*(Jun) (\$.*\$ )?.... (\$.*\$ )?..:..:.. (\$.*\$ )?(\\+|\\-)....( \$.*\$)?$" { if header :regex "Received" "^.*(10) (\$.*\$ )?... (\$.*\$ )?.... (\$.*\$ )?..:..:.. (\$.*\$ )?(\\+|\\-)....( \$.*\$)?$" { vacation :days 7 :addresses "claudio(a)mediaservice.net" :subject "Test autoresponder" "test autoresponder 22"; } } } } If i test this script with sieve-test, the result is the following: sieve-test .dovecot.sieve new/1307715082.M173915P16839.mail2\,S\=1138\,W\=1168 sieve-test(root): Debug: Effective uid=0, gid=0, home=/root sieve-test(root): Debug: Namespace : type=private, prefix=INBOX., sep=, inbox=yes, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes location=maildir:/var/mail/virtual//root sieve-test(root): Debug: maildir++: root=/var/mail/virtual//root, index=, control=, inbox=/var/mail/virtual//root sieve-test(root): Debug: none: root=, index=, control=, inbox= Performed actions: (none) Implicit keep: * store message in folder: INBOX sieve-test(root): Info: final result: success No vacation is performed..... Then, if i modify the script commenting all the regex for the date, the result is the following: sieve-test .dovecot.sieve new/1307715082.M173915P16839.mail2\,S\=1138\,W\=1168 sieve-test(root): Debug: Effective uid=0, gid=0, home=/root sieve-test(root): Debug: Namespace : type=private, prefix=INBOX., sep=, inbox=yes, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes location=maildir:/var/mail/virtual//root sieve-test(root): Debug: maildir++: root=/var/mail/virtual//root, index=, control=, inbox=/var/mail/virtual//root sieve-test(root): Debug: none: root=, index=, control=, inbox= Performed actions: * send vacation message: => seconds : 604800 => subject: Test autoresponder => handle : test autoresponder 22Test autoresponder<default-from><NO-MIME> START MESSAGE test autoresponder 22 END MESSAGE Implicit keep: * store message in folder: INBOX sieve-test(root): Info: final result: success But the date is right: date Fri Jun 10 17:22:14 CEST 2011 So, what is wrong? Any help is well accepted, that script with dovecot 1.x is working correctly.... So, what is changed in dovecot 2.0 sieve?

[Dovecot] LIST-EXTENDED support?
by fusionstream 22 Jun '11

22 Jun '11

Hi there. Can I check if LIST-EXTENDED refers to RFC 6154 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6154) rfc for special use mailboxes. I'd like to specify a designated folder as \Spam and etc. Googling "dovecot list-extended" and "dovecot special use" suggests that dovecot supports this feature (via patch logs and 1 bug report for Mozilla Thunderbird which suggests that dovecot supports this). However when trying to test this feature via thunderbird, it would seem to suggest that it is not currently possible. (Moving folders that Thunderbird has created forces thunderbird to recreate said folder in it's original location) # dovecot --version 1.2.17 Any help/pointers appreciated. Cheers.

[Dovecot] DoveCot LDA/Postfix deliver by address
by Zhou, Yan 21 Jun '11

21 Jun '11

Hi there, I am using DoveCot 1.0.7 and virtual users. We want to integrate with Postfix 2.3.3 to use DoveCot LDA to deliver messages to user mailbox. All users are stored in LDAP. DoveCot looks up user by LDAP access. Our user name is not necessarily part of the address. For instance, address "zhouy@xxxx" may be with user "yzhou", thus all messages to "zhouy@xxxx" should go to /home/vmail/yzhou/Maildir I do not see how LDA can support a two-step lookup: 1. Look up user from the given address, 2. Lookup user mail directory from the user in step 1. My understanding is that /etc/dove-ldap.conf is a one-step lookup, it only does user lookup (without password lookup). Any suggestions?

[Dovecot] DoveCot LDA/Postfix get address rather than user from messages
by Zhou, Yan 21 Jun '11

21 Jun '11

Hi there, We are using Postfix and DoveCot 1.0.7, using DoveCot LDA/Postfix to deliver messages to mailboxes via LDAP lookup. My Postfix 2.3.3 /etc/postfix/master.cf reads like this dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=Rhu user=hubdirect argv=/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -f ${sender} -d ${recipient} And my /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf reads like this: user_filter = (&(objectClass=DirectUser)(username=%n)) user_attrs = userreference=user,usermaildirectory=mail,userhomedirectory=home I find the above "%n" value in "user_filter" I am getting is always the address, not "user part in user@domain" as the documentation says. Did I miss anything? Thanks, Yan Confidentiality Notice: The information contained in this electronic transmission is confidential and may be legally privileged.

[Dovecot] Dovecot 1.1.20+NFS OS changed issue
by गौरव जोशी 21 Jun '11

21 Jun '11

Hi, I am facing a wierd issue on dovecot while migrating OS of the server. I have CentOS 5.2 32bit OS , Dovecot 1.1.20 with NFS on the server. When I am migrating it to CenOS 5.6 32bit with same Dovecot version. I compiled the same version i.e. 1.1.20 again. Now when I check the number of connection on this new server I can see only 8-10 connections for IMAP and 8-10 for POP3, where on old server I can still see the number of connections crosses 500+. I checked system level configuration which I found identical, limits set to same as old server, still no change in number of connections. I even tried the above exercise on CentOS 5.6 64bit version. again the result is same. I have tried all the changes/configurations I could think of. Can you please help me to sort out this issue? dovecot -n output ; ============================================= # 1.1.20: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.28 i686 CentOS release 5.6 (Final) syslog_facility: local0 protocols: imap pop3 listen(default): *:143 listen(imap): *:143 listen(pop3): *:110 ssl_disable: yes disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login login_greeting: Welcome to MailServe Popserver. login_process_per_connection: no max_mail_processes: 800 mail_max_userip_connections(default): 150 mail_max_userip_connections(imap): 150 mail_max_userip_connections(pop3): 300 verbose_proctitle: yes first_valid_uid: 99 first_valid_gid: 99 mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir:INDEX=/indexes/%h:CONTROL=/indexes/%h mmap_disable: yes mail_nfs_storage: yes mail_nfs_index: yes mail_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugins(default): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(imap): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(pop3): quota mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3 pop3_no_flag_updates(default): no pop3_no_flag_updates(imap): no pop3_no_flag_updates(pop3): yes pop3_client_workarounds(default): pop3_client_workarounds(imap): pop3_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-no-nuls lda: postmaster_address: postmaster(a)example.com mail_plugins: cmusieve quota mail_log mail_plugin_dir: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lda log_path: /var/log/dovecot-deliver.log auth_socket_path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master auth default: worker_max_count: 5 passdb: driver: sql args: /usr/local/etc/dovecot-mysql.conf userdb: driver: sql args: /usr/local/etc/dovecot-mysql.conf userdb: driver: prefetch socket: type: listen client: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-client mode: 432 user: nobody group: nobody master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 user: nobody group: nobody ============================================= Have a nice time, Gourav Joshi Have a look at www.linuxquestions.in

[Dovecot] dovecot-metadata-8 released
by Dennis Schridde 20 Jun '11

20 Jun '11

Hello everyone! I just released dovecot-metadata-8, which is an implementation of RFC 5464 (IMAP METADATA), allowing to add comments/annotations/metadata to folders of an email account. The major feature is that it works with Akonadi, or more specifically the Kolab backend thereof, while being dovecot-2.0 compatible. The module consists of 3 plugins, two IMAP frontends and one backend: * "imap-annotatemore" is a partial implementation of draft-daboo-imap- annotatemore-08 (early predecessor to RFC 5464), based on work by Bernhard Herzog (Intevation GmbH). The sole intention is to support Kolab, not to strictly implement the draft. * "imap-metadata" is a complete implementation of RFC 5464. Kolab clients do not (yet) use these commands. * "metadata" is the common backend imap-metadata and metadata were entirely written from scratch, while imap- annotatemore is an adaption of the work by Bernhard Herzog to the new backend. You can download the code via Hg [1] or as exported tarball [2] from the Hg webinterface. Please note that the README is outdated, as are some other files. The build process is pretty much straightforward, just make sure you have the dovecot headers available on your system: ./autogen.sh ./configure --with-dovecot=/path/to/dovecot make make install Next you need to adjust your dovecot config. The following works for me: == dovecot.conf == dict { metadata = file:/var/lib/dovecot/shared-metadata } == 10-mail.conf == mail_plugins = ... metadata == 20-imap.conf == protocol imap { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins ... imap_metadata imap_annotatemore } == 90-plugin.conf == plugin { metadata_dict = proxy::metadata } To allow a Kolab client to find (e.g.) the addressbook folder, issue this IMAP command after login: SETMETADATA "path/to/folder" ("/shared/vendor/kolab/folder-type" "contact") If you find any bugs (crashes, incompatibilities with RFC 5464, etc), please write me a mail. Be advised that this code is still experimental and might crash your server! @Timo: Please have a look at the src/*-ext.[ch] files, they contain extensions to the dovecot libraries and might be useful for others, too. Kind regards, Dennis Schridde [1] http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-metadata-plugin [2] http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-metadata-plugin/archive/bdf2445e101f.tar.gz

[Dovecot] Gmail like virtual mailboxes
by Aleve Sicofante 19 Jun '11

19 Jun '11

I'm new to this list so let me introduce myself: I'm a computer literate user (I've done some C programming long ago and can run a Linux system and do some light admin), I've never installed a mail server before and I'm in the process of migrating my family and my small business from Gmail (Google Apps) to a virtual server mainly for privacy reasons. I'm in love with Gmail's label system and I just plain hate traditional folders. I use hierarchical labels (as if they were folders but with a message belonging to many at the same time) and that MUST be preserved in the migration. I've looked at Courier's IMAP keywords implementation and it looks good, but everyone on the internet is recommending Dovecot, so here I am. I've tried hard to find information about using unlimited hierarchical labels, virtual mailboxes or any other way of mimicing Gmail's functionality with Dovecot, but I'm lost. First of all: can it be done? If so, is there any introductory documentation? (I've only found very sparse information.) Is it available for any storage format (mbox, maildir, dbox)? Any help will be very appreciated. -- Aleve Sicofante

Vacation (Sieve) replies to the envelope address. However, I have a customer which receive e-mails from a service which sends e-mails on behalf of a user (submitted through a web form). So an e-mail would be like (envelope from and from-header is webformfromwhatever(a)foobar.com) From: webformfromwhatever(a)foobar.com To: mycustomer(a)hisdomain.com Reply-To: usersrealmailaddress(a)example.com I need the reply to go to the reply-to address. Can I handle this with Sieve? -- Vegard Svanberg <vegard(a)svanberg.no> [*Takapa@IRC (EFnet)]

Can I use the .DEFAULT files with global acls to access all mailboxes without explicitly sharing them first? Or must a share be created for every individual mailbox before they will appear in the shared namespace? -- Daniel

[Dovecot] ACL Groups
by Daniel L. Miller 17 Jun '11

17 Jun '11

From the wiki: ACL groups support works by returning a comma-separated acl_groups extra field <http://wiki2.dovecot.org/UserDatabase/ExtraFields> from userdb, which contains all the groups the user belongs to. User's UNIX groups have no effect on ACLs (you can "enable" them by using a special post-login script <http://wiki2.dovecot.org/PostLoginScripting>). I've read that over several times - I still don't understand that. Are "ACL Groups" defined and managed by Dovecot - and described somewhere else in the docs - or are they UNIX groups that previously had no affect on mail access but by being listed in the "acl_groups" field they now have relevance? -- Daniel

[Dovecot] ACL enabled Public folder dovecot
by kumar shantanu 17 Jun '11

17 Jun '11

Hi All, I am trying to do ACL enabled Public folder on dovecot version 1.1.20, but the ACL thing is not working, the public folder is visible and accessible to everyone. My dovecot config for public folder is like ######## namespace public { separator = / prefix = Public/ location = maildir:/var/mail/public subscriptions = no } plugin { acl = vfile } ######### and I have my dovecot-acl file in /var/mail/public/.test which reads ** user=test(a)mydomain.com lrw ** but every user can see the public folders and subscribe to it, which I don't want :( Can someone please suggest. Thanks in Advance, Shantanu

[Dovecot] Converting CLIENT_MAIL_DATA_MAX_INMEMORY_SIZE to a configurable?
by Attila Nagy 17 Jun '11

17 Jun '11

Hi, Currently Dovecot's LMTPd writes incoming emails to mail_temp_dir if it's bigger than 128k. But I would like to spare those unnecessary operations (creating a file, deleting it, writing into it, reading from it, checking whether there is free space and if not, rejecting (temporarily) the message). Memory is cheap, disk IO is not. :) And BTW, on a lot of systems, /tmp is a memory file system already, so there is absolute no need for this. I only fired two greps so far before writing this mail, in the hope that I can spare writing, testing and sending a patch, which will be either rejected, or rewritten. :) So, am I right that the following constant would be needed to be converted into a configurable setting and the task is done? static int client_input_add(struct client *client, const unsigned char *data, size_t size) { if (client->state.mail_data->used + size <= CLIENT_MAIL_DATA_MAX_INMEMORY_SIZE && client->state.mail_data_output == NULL) { buffer_append(client->state.mail_data, data, size); return 0; } else { return client_input_add_file(client, data, size); } } It could be defaulted to 128k, but the user could set it "unlimited" (0 or -1, depending on the author's mood, 0 and/or -1 being unlimited, or 0 being 0, meaning don't even store a bit -doesn't really make sense to me). LMTP is mostly protected from the outside world, so I don't see too much DoS potential here (absolutely not more than in the tmpfs case). Thanks,

[Dovecot] I can't setup namespace per user (with settings keept in sql db)
by Marcin Mirosław 17 Jun '11

17 Jun '11

Hello! I'm trying to setup additional namespace. I'd like to have this setting per user and keep it in postgresql.

Re: [Dovecot] ZFS Filesystem Quota under Solaris 10 and Sparc

The original zfs implementation didn't have user quotas. You could only add quotas to individual file systems as a whole. They apparently added it into the source base in 2009: http://blogs.oracle.com/chrisg/entry/user_and_group_quotas_for but I'm not sure when/if it made it to production. My sol10u8 * (10/09) has it in the man page, but I know some things in the man page isn't in s10 (like sharesmb), so, as they say, ymmv. The current doc for user quotas are here: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E19253-01/819-5461/gazud/index.html If you don't want to use the filesystem quotas, you have to change your rules/configuration to match what dovecot has. See doc/wiki/Quota.Configuration.txt. Hope this helps. -r

[Dovecot] quota_rule beeing ignored and set to system soft! quota
by Leon Meßner 16 Jun '11

16 Jun '11

Hi, originating from the same Problem Edgar Fuß described here [1] about "Zero-sized Maildir files and index corruption on over-quota" i setup quota = fs:user quotas with a quota_rule set to 1.5G to prevent getting those zero sized mail files. What happens now is that when the user is over system soft quota (1G) mails stop beeing delivered. Jun 16 19:05:45 mail dovecot: deliver(elont1): msgid=<20110616185545.05ab0f56@x201t>: save failed to INBOX: Quota exceeded (mailbox for user is full) This is bad as users get notified per mail by a script about beeing over quota (this mail is now beeing deferred). If i don't set a quota_rule i still get 0byte files (quota is ignored). If i set a higher than system quota quota_rule it still uses the system soft quota. I have a seconary mailserver which already uses dovecot 2.x but i can't test the feature there as it's running inside a jail and thus has no access to quota. I would like to keep this machine on 1.2.16 for now. dovecot -n output is below. thanks, Leon [1] http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2010-October/053554.html 19:20_root@mail:/usr/local/etc# dovecot -n # 1.2.16: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf # OS: FreeBSD 7.3-RELEASE-p2 amd64 log_path: /var/log/dovecot.log protocols: imaps pop3s managesieve listen: mail.physik-pool.tu-berlin.de ssl_cert_file: /etc/private/mail.physik.tu-berlin.de.pem ssl_key_file: /etc/private/physik.tu-berlin.de_privatekey.pem login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login login_executable(managesieve): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/managesieve-login login_processes_count: 6 login_max_processes_count: 512 verbose_proctitle: yes first_valid_uid: 200 mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: maildir:~/maildir mmap_disable: yes mail_nfs_storage: yes mail_nfs_index: yes mail_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_executable(managesieve): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/managesieve mail_plugins(default): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(imap): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(pop3): quota mail_plugins(managesieve): mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(managesieve): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/managesieve imap_client_workarounds(default): delay-newmail netscape-eoh tb-extra-mailbox-sep imap_client_workarounds(imap): delay-newmail netscape-eoh tb-extra-mailbox-sep imap_client_workarounds(pop3): imap_client_workarounds(managesieve): pop3_client_workarounds(default): pop3_client_workarounds(imap): pop3_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh pop3_client_workarounds(managesieve): namespace: type: private separator: / inbox: yes list: yes subscriptions: yes namespace: type: private separator: / prefix: mail/ location: mbox:~/mail list: yes subscriptions: yes lda: postmaster_address: postmaster(a)physik.tu-berlin.de log_path: info_log_path: mail_plugins: sieve quota quota_full_tempfail: yes sendmail_path: /usr/sbin/sendmail auth default: mechanisms: gssapi plain login krb5_keytab: /etc/mail.krb5.keytab gssapi_hostname: mail.physik-pool.tu-berlin.de worker_max_count: 120 passdb: driver: pam args: session=yes failure_show_msg=yes max_requests=100 userdb: driver: passwd args: blocking=yes plugin: sieve: ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir: ~/.sieve quota_rule: *:storage=15728640 quota: fs:user

[Dovecot] Removal of mailist duplicates?
by Peter Bell 16 Jun '11

16 Jun '11

I am using mpop to fetch mail from my service provider (who use dovecot). I use dovecot to hold all my mail on a local slackware server, with sieve filters, based on 'List-Id', directing mailist postings to their own folders. I use thunderbird to read my mail on an ubuntu desktop. When I receive a reply to a posting I make to a mailist (such as this one), replies I receive are usually sent to me with cc to the list. I would expect, then, to receive the message twice - once in my personal mailbox, and once to the mailist folder. However, this doesn't happen - I only see the posting in the mailist folder. Can anyone tell me at which stage in the process the other message is being supressed? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Peter Bell Mob: +63 (0) 9287 340 343 Tagum City, Philippines.

[Dovecot] limiting number of login attempts from same ip
by Jürgen Obermann 16 Jun '11

16 Jun '11

Hello, is it possible to limit the number of pop3 (or imap) login attempts from one IP with dovecot to stop attackers? We recently had an attack from one IP-address lasting 50 minutes that tried 50000 pop3-logins with guessed users and passwords. I know about Fail2Ban but really would prefer an easy to configure solution inside of dovecot. Dovecot has this anvil daemon, can it be used for that purpose? We use dovcot version 2.0.12 under Solaris 10, the pop3-login part of the configuration looking like that: service pop3-login { chroot = login client_limit = 0 drop_priv_before_exec = no executable = pop3-login extra_groups = group = idle_kill = 0 inet_listener pop3 { address = port = 110 ssl = no } inet_listener pop3s { address = port = 995 ssl = yes } privileged_group = process_limit = 0 process_min_avail = 0 protocol = pop3 service_count = 1 type = login user = $default_login_user vsz_limit = 64 M } Thanks, Jürgen -- Hochschulrechenzentrum der | Mail: Juergen.Obermann(a)hrz.uni-giessen.de Justus-Liebig-Universitaet | WWW: http://www.uni-giessen.de/obermann/ Heinrich-Buff-Ring 44 | Tel: 0641-99-13054 (0641-99-13001) D-35392 Giessen, Germany | Fax: 0641-99-13009

Hi, I notice that the Apple patched branch of Dovecot 2.0 with URLAUTH fails to compile on Linux. The file src/plugins/urlauth/urlauth-keys.c uses open(2) with O_EXLOCK, which to my knowledge is BSD specific. Is that a known problem? /Peter

[Dovecot] ZFS Filesystem Quota under Solaris 10 and Sparc
by Jürgen Obermann 15 Jun '11

15 Jun '11

Hallo. Filesystem quotas used to work well under Solaris 9 and ufs filesystems on the Sparc platform even with two rules for the folders in the users home directories /home/group/user and the separate filesystem /var/mail holding the inboxes: plugin { quota = fs:Home-Verzeichnis:noenforcing quota2 = fs:INBOX:noenforcing:mount=/var/mail } Since we upgraded last year to Solaris 10 with zfs filesystems on our Sparc server still using a similar setup with separate filesystems for home directories and inboxes we have no working quota plugin anymore. Currently we use dovecot 2.0.13. Are there any plans or whishes to get the filesystem quota code working again under zfs and Solaris?

[Dovecot] Per-user "Seen" flags on public folder

[Dovecot] Timeout during APPEND
by martin f krafft 14 Jun '11

14 Jun '11

Dear list, I am running dovecot 1.2.15 on a Debian server. One user reports continuous problems synchronising her mailbox via IMAP (offlineimap, via SSH tunnel or SSL socket). It seems that she has a large, locally-created message, but the uplink bandwidth seems to be not enough to push it before dovecot times out the APPEND command. The error/exception happens inside offlineimap's Python imaplib2.py file: APPEND => no response after 30.0 secs I do not know the IMAP protocol all that well, but it seems to me like this is broken somewhere. Could you please help me figure out the problem? -- martin | http://madduck.net/ | http://two.sentenc.es/ "man sagt nicht 'nichts!', man sagt dafür 'jenseits' oder 'gott'." - friedrich nietzsche spamtraps: madduck.bogus(a)madduck.net

[Dovecot] SSL comunication problems with client side.
by Denis Iskandarov 14 Jun '11

14 Jun '11

I can get messages without SSL with no problems. but i need to setup server accept only SSL secured connections. I think my configuration is very proper, but cant find "obvious" problem. Postfix 2.3.3 + dovecot 2.0.13-1_129.el5 + PostfixAdmin 2.3.3 I made own CA. configured postfix and dovecot with same cert key ca. Same public cert i gave for client just converted it to PKCS#12. I cant undestand valid and invalid certs strings in long, they look same. You can check logs and config bellow. Also some other questions regarding SSL: 1. How to make client MUA (thunderbird) automatically retrieve certificate ? My thunderbird cant do it by itself so i'm importing mail cert by myself. 2. If i want to setup Roundcube/Squirrelmail webmail clients with TLS support (https) i have to provide them with same certificates as dovecot and postfix have.

[Dovecot] Sieve question
by Dhaval Patel 14 Jun '11

14 Jun '11

I have successfully setup Postfix -> Dovecot with virtual users and spam filtering with spamassassin. Now the last remaining part is for the user defined rules. Let me describe my environment and what I am trying to achieve. I have Postfix setup to call spamc and deliver to Dovecot according to the master.cf line below. -------------------------------------------------------------- dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/bin/spamc -u vmail -e /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -d ${recipient} -------------------------------------------------------------- The emails get checked by Spamassassin and are delivered to the users's mailbox (/home/vmail/username). I use an actual username (dhav) and not email address (dhaval(a)example.com) Things are working fine with that. >From reading http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve I see that Sieve can do global and user specified filtering. So I am planning to put the following rule into the global script so spammy emails go to the user's INBOX.spam folder. -------------------------------------------------------------- require "fileinto"; if header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" "YES" { fileinto "spam"; } -------------------------------------------------------------- My first question is, where is this global script? Do I configure the "sieve_global_dir = /etc/dovecot/sieve/"? What about he filename? Most users will not need any additional rules. There are some users that do and I am having a difficult time figuring out how it would be setup. My second question is the following. Is there a way in the global script to check if there is a file called /etc/dovecot/sieve/username or /home/vmail/username/personal_sieve_script and include it? I was using maildrop before this and procmail before that so I apologies for sounding stupid if this is not how Sieve scripts work. I am by no means tied the methods I describe above. If anyone knows of a better way to achieve what I am trying to do, I would appreciate if you let me know of it. Thanks, Dhaval

Hello everybody, I have some basic questions: 1. how can I configure the auto-empty trash plugin for all users after 3 or 4 days (This is very important, regular users do not clean their trash, or are using blackberry and do not have an option to do it or simply, do not care about it) 2. difference between version 1.2.17 and latest 2 version of Dovecot, have the version 2 an automatic option for the trash thing? 3. me as a basic skilled user, how can I made the upgrade to version 2 without major risks, I mean I do not want to leave everybody on my server without mail. I am a novice in all of this stuff, so please excuse me if I am making dumb questions. Thanks in advance for your help.

[Dovecot] Webmail project : to cache or not to cache emails
by Vincent Richomme 13 Jun '11

13 Jun '11

Hi, I plan to develop a new web service where one of its module is a webmail and I am thinking about some implementation details. From a interface point of view I wanted to adopt the same logic a outlook(desktop) or yahoo webmail and not split emails into pages. I mean I just want a single datatable view where user can scroll to see his old messages and data are updated only when user release the vertical scrollbar. When I look at current webmail (roundcube for instance) I can see that a cache is used to stored emails headers and I was wondering if it was really necessary ? Once a user has passed the login process I would like to retrieve only the emails that will be displayed (actually a bit more, I am thinking of 150) but I am wondering if it's a good idea to not use a cache for headers. For instance if I have thousands of users on the same machine, will it support it ? Will it be fast enough ? Of course I will try by myself the different options but would be curious to have some opinions. Thanks

[Dovecot] Explain about (mail_get_first_header(mail, "From", &header)
by Alex Baule 13 Jun '11

Hi Timo... Inside my plugin, i use the (mail_get_first_header(mail, "From", &header) function, to get the email From to put in some Blacklist. Looking in the header under this mail, we have 2 "From" fields. Using the function above, i get the Second "From", but my MTA (exim) look in to The First From, in the First Line, in that way, my blacklist don't work, because the sender to be blocked is different from the From looked by dovecot.

Hi; I installed latest dovecot version (2.0.13) and qmail pathed with qmail-ldap on our systems. We want to use auth_dovecot binary authentication for dovecot.

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.0+LMTP: Legal MAIL FROM rejected?
by Bernhard Schmidt 13 Jun '11

13 Jun '11

Hi, I run Dovecot 2.0.13 fed by Postfix over LMTP. Today it rejected one mail Postfix and Amavis accepted, generating a bounce. It was just a spammail, but I think the sender address is legal according to RFC5321 and should be accepted. I don't like generating bounces, email should be either rejected by postfix/pre-queue-amavis or delivered. Jun 6 12:32:47 mail postfix/qmgr[840]: 991FC240DB: from=<admin <admin(a)kl38000.com>, size=8427, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Jun 6 12:32:47 mail amavis[27046]: (27046-06) FWD via SMTP: <"admin <admin"@kl38000.com> -> <user(a)domain.com>,BODY=7BIT 250 2.0.0 Ok, id=27046-06, from MTA([127.0.0.1]:10025): 250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as 991FC240DB Jun 6 12:32:47 mail postfix/lmtp[4710]: 991FC240DB: to=<user(a)vmail.domain.com>, orig_to=<user(a)domain.com>, relay=pop3.domain.com[::1]:24, delay=0.24, delays=0.09/0.11/0.03/0.01, dsn=5.5.4, status=bounced (host pop3.domain.com[::1] said: 501 5.5.4 Invalid parameters (in reply to MAIL FROM command)) It looks like dovecot/lmtp does not accept an address with quoted localpart that contains a space mail from:<"admin admin"@kl38000.com> 501 5.5.4 Invalid parameters mail from:<"adminadmin"@kl38000.com> 250 2.1.0 OK mail from:<"admin<admin"@kl38000.com> 250 2.1.0 OK Bernhard

[Dovecot] Regarding Digest-MD5 auth
by kenja heramba 13 Jun '11

13 Jun '11

Hi, I am writing a Pop3Client. I use dovecot server as POP3 server in linux and hMailServer in windows. I was just testing digest-md5 auth with dovecot server. I had an observation. After server side verification, server sends a verification code to client. If this fails, how can client send the negative response or does it not exist? When I see packet capture, dovecot server sends +OK Logged in for anything client sends. I may be wrong. Please let me know your thoughts Regards, Heramba

[Dovecot] sqlite quota dict
by Nikita Koshikov 13 Jun '11

13 Jun '11

Hello Timo, and list followers, Sqlite supports good feature like mysql 'ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE' - it calls REPLACE/INSERT OR REPLACE This clause can be added to INSERT query, like: INSERT OR REPLACE INTO table VALUES() REPLACE INTO table VALUES() // alias to previous one Also this can be done during CREATE TABLE syntax, like so: CREATE TABLE quota ( username text not null, bytes integer not null default 0, messages integer not null default 0, primary key (username) ON CONFLICT REPLACE ); So the examples will work: INSERT INTO quota (bytes,username) VALUES ('112497180','foo(a)spam.dom'); INSERT INTO quota (bytes,username) VALUES ('112497181','foo(a)spam.dom'); SELECT * FROM quota; foo(a)spam.dom|112497181|0 But 1 thing to note - if we updating not all fields and column has NOT NULL DEFAULT value, then DEFAULT value will alter current one: INSERT INTO quota (bytes,username) VALUES ('112497180','foo(a)spam.dom'); INSERT INTO quota (messages,username) VALUES ('1743','foo(a)spam.dom'); SELECT * FROM quota; foo(a)spam.dom|0|1743 This can be easily bypassed if INSERT will be: INSERT INTO quota (bytes,messages,username) VALUES ('112497180','1743','foo(a)spam.dom'); So if dovecot will INSERT values to sql dict in this manner, sqlite can be used for storing quota data.

[Dovecot] virtual users with postfix+dovecot plugin usage question
by Denis Iskandarov 13 Jun '11

13 Jun '11

I'm interested in if i should enable plugins only in LDA as i understood that with postfix dovecot works only like LDA. For example i wanna use autocreate plugin for imap user i have enabled in both IMAP and LDA sections. Is it right or i had to configure it only in LDA section ? Than how quota and imap_quota work in imap section ? For what is it there if lda controls user maildirs ? Dovecot 2.0.13 protocol lda { mail_plugins = quota autocreate } protocol imap { imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail mail_plugins = quota imap_quota autocreate } protocol pop3 { mail_plugins = quota pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh }

[Dovecot] Question about Dovecot-ACLs
by Jan Phillip Greimann 13 Jun '11

13 Jun '11

Hi there, i try to create an php-script to control acl's for public folders without file-manipulation. For this i use imap_setacl() like this example: imap_setacl($mbox,"INBOX/test", "email(a)domain.tld", "lrwstipekxa"); The acl-file looks so: ~:> cat dovecot-acl user=email(a)domain.tld akxeilprwts But i have a problem with the follow function: imap_setacl($mbox,"INBOX/test", "email(a)domain.tld", ""); This command only delete the rights from the email, not the whole entry in my dovecot-acl file. Now my acl-file looks like this: ~:> cat dovecot-acl user=email(a)domain.tld Did this affect dovecot by any way? Thanks, Jan

Hello, I'm running Dovecot 2.0.13 on my Ubuntu10.04.

[Dovecot] mmap in GFS2 on rhel 6.1
by Aliet Santiesteban Sifontes 13 Jun '11

13 Jun '11

Hello list, we continue our tests using Dovecot on a RHEL 6.1 Cluster Backend with GFS2, also we are using dovecot as a Director for user node persistence, everything was ok until we started stress testing the solution with imaptest, we had many deadlocks, cluster filesystems corruptions and hangs, specially in index filesystem, we have configured the backend as if they were on a NFS like setup but this seems not to work at least on GFS2 on rhel 6.1. We have a two node cluster sharing two GFS2 filesystem - Index GFS2 filesystem to store users indexes - Mailbox data on a GFS2 filesystem The specific configs for NFS or cluster filesystem we used: mmap_disable = yes mail_fsync = always mail_nfs_storage = yes mail_nfs_index = yes fsync_disable=no lock_method = fcntl mail location : mail_location = mdbox:/var/vmail/%d/%3n/%n/mdbox:INDEX=/var/indexes/%d/%3n/%n But this seems not to work for GFS2 even doing user node persistence, maillog is plagged of errors and GFS2 hangs on stress testing with imaptest, many corrupted index for example, transaction logs etc, at this point we have many questions, first mmap... In Redhat GFS2 docs we read: Gold rules for performance: An inode is used in a read only fashion across all nodes An inode is written or modified from a single node only. We have succesfull archived this using dovecot director Now, for mmap rh says: ... If you mmap() a file on GFS2 with a read/write mapping, but only read from it, this only counts as a read. On GFS though, it counts as a write, so GFS2 is much more scalable with mmap() I/O... But in our config we are using mmap_disable=yes, do we have to use mmap_disable=no with GFS2??? Also, how dovecot manage the cache flush on GFS2 filesystem??? Why, if we are doing user node persistence, dovecot indexes gets corrupted??? What lock method do we have to use?? How fsync should be used?? We know we have many questions, but this is really a very complex stuff and we are going to appreciate any help you can give us. Thank you all for a great work, specially Timo... best regards

[Dovecot] Unable to compile --with-mysql on Solaris
by Jesse Reynolds 13 Jun '11

13 Jun '11

Hello I'm hoping someone can give me a pointer as to how to compile Dovecot with MySQL support on Solaris. I am trying to compile dovecot 2.0.13 (also tried 2.0.9) on Solaris (OpenSolaris 2009-06, snv_111b) with the OpenSolaris provided MySQL 5.1.30 under /usr/mysql. The server is a Sun X2100 M2, which has a dual core AMD Opteron processor (amd64). Running "./configure --with-mysql" stops here: ... checking for mysql_config... mysql_config checking for mysql_init in -lmysqlclient... no configure: error: Can't build with MySQL support: libmysqlclient not found the libmysqlclient.so is to be found here: /usr/mysql/5.1/lib/mysql/ or for the amd64 version: /usr/mysql/5.1/lib/amd64/mysql/ And include is at: /usr/mysql/5.1/include/ I have tried various combinations of things in CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS, but it doesn't change the configure error above at all.

Re: [Dovecot] postfix dovecot spamassassin question
by Dhaval Patel 12 Jun '11

12 Jun '11

So I setup amavis-new and configured postfix/spamassassin/amavis. Mail is still delivered properly but I do not see the spamassassin info in the headers of the email. I configured amavis-new and set "sa_tag_level_deflt" to -999 so that it would always show up but no luck. I updated the spamassassin config and enabled it. I also tested spamassassin manually running "spamassassin -t < someemail" and that returns the email with the X-Spam in the headers. If this is not the correct place to ask, I apologize. Please direct me where I can find the answer.

[Dovecot] postfix dovecot spamassassin question
by Dhaval Patel 11 Jun '11

11 Jun '11

I have an old server with postfix -> maildrop -> spamassassin -> courier setup. I am installing a new server and would like to use dovecot instead of courier. Currently I have postfix -> dovecot lda -> dovecot setup and emails are delivered as expected. The problem is that I do not know how to get spamassassin integrated into the mix since I am using the dovecot lda rather than maildrop. I would rather keep things as simple as possible and not use maildrop + sendmail just to use spamassasin but will if I have to. So my question to the list is, how do you recommend me doing this? Are there any documentation, howtos or tutorials which can help me configure this? Below is the output of dovecot -n Thanks, Dhaval ------------dovecot -n--------------- # 1.2.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-5-686-bigmem i686 Debian 6.0.1 xfs log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S ssl_cert_file: /etc/ssl/certs/secure.consoe.com.pem ssl_key_file: /etc/ssl/certs/secure.consoe.com.key disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: maildir:/home/vmail/%u mbox_write_locks: fcntl dotlock namespace: type: private separator: . prefix: INBOX. inbox: yes list: yes subscriptions: yes lda: postmaster_address: postmaster(a)patel.sh auth_socket_path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master log_path: /home/vmail/dovecot-deliver.log mail_plugins: sieve global_script_path: /home/vmail/globalsieverc auth default: mechanisms: plain login passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf socket: type: listen client: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-client mode: 432 master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 user: vmail group: vmail

[Dovecot] Sub-Subfolder from public folders
by Torsten Harenberg 10 Jun '11

10 Jun '11

Dear all, I just moved from an old cyrus instance to a brand new dovecot installation. Everything worked pretty well so far. The only small problem I have is: we have public folders, so I defined namespace { type = public separator = . prefix = public. location = maildir:/var/mail/public:INDEX=%u/public subscriptions = no list = children } And I define ACLs for the folders inside. This works, but the some of these folders have sub-folders and these cannot be seen by (what I have tested is Apple Mail, Thunderbird, Outlook and squirrelmail). File system looks like this: mail# cd /var/mail/public/.icecube-c mail# ls -l .ice* .icecube-hard: total 232 drwxrwxrwx 2 root wheel 512 Jun 9 13:07 cur -rwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 167 Jun 9 13:07 dovecot-keywords -rwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 105179 Jun 9 13:07 dovecot-uidlist drwxrwxrwx 2 root wheel 123904 Jun 9 13:07 new drwxrwxrwx 2 root wheel 512 Jun 9 13:07 tmp .icecube-soft: total 2214 drwxrwxrwx 2 root wheel 512 Jun 9 13:06 cur -rwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 167 Jun 9 13:07 dovecot-keywords -rwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 1019250 Jun 9 13:07 dovecot-uidlist -rwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 0 Jun 9 13:06 maildirfolder drwxrwxrwx 2 root wheel 1195008 Jun 9 13:07 new drwxrwxrwx 2 root wheel 512 Jun 9 13:07 tmp mail# ls .icecube-hard .icecube-soft cur dovecot-acl dovecot-keywords dovecot-uidlist new subscriptions tmp Maybe anybody can help with this?

[Dovecot] On-delivery deduplication?
by Xin LI 10 Jun '11

10 Jun '11

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi, A feature of Cyrus-IMAPd I really missed after migrated to Dovecot is their optional "duplicate suppression", which eliminates duplicate message at deliver time, if their envelope sender, recipient and message-id matches. For example, if one subscribes to a mailing list, and someone hit "Reply All" to reply to him, there will be two different SMTP deliveries, one from the replier's server and one from the mailing list. Is it possible to do the same on latest Dovecot? (Looking at the documentation it seems not?) Or is there some better ways to implement the same functionality? Thanks in advance!

[Dovecot] possible bug leading to lmtp crashes
by Trever L. Adams 10 Jun '11

10 Jun '11

I have been using Samba 4 kerberos and ldap with dovecot. Samba 4 changed a while back (resulting in me asking for help) which requires kerberos auth for ldap lookups. My setup worked perfectly before hand. Before and after were with dovecot-2.0.11 and the after also happens with 2.0.11. The only changes were (in my ldap.conf for dovecot -- changes are new lines starting with *, * is not in the conf, just showing changes): hosts = example.org base = dc=example,dc=org ldap_version = 3 user_attrs = userPrincipalName=user user_filter = (&(objectClass=person)(|(mail=%u)(sAMAccountName=%u)(userPrincipalName=%u))) *dn = MACHINEACCOUNT$(a)EXAMPLE.ORG *sasl_bind = yes *sasl_mech = GSSAPI *sasl_realm = EXAMPLE.ORG *#sasl_authz_id = MACHINEACCOUNT$(a)EXAMPE.ORG # For using doveadm -A: iterate_attrs = userPrincipalName=user iterate_filter = (objectClass=person) in dovecot.conf: import_environment = TZ KRB5CCNAME=/etc/dovecot/krb5.cc With that do any of the following lines from the referenced hg rev set mean I am missing anything on my import_environment variable? Or is it all good? 10.15 +/* <settings checks> */ 10.16 +#ifdef HAVE_SYSTEMD 10.17 +# define ENV_SYSTEMD " LISTEN_PID LISTEN_FDS" 10.18 +#else 10.19 +# define ENV_SYSTEMD "" 10.20 +#endif 10.21 +#ifdef DEBUG 10.22 +# define ENV_GDB " GDB" 10.23 +#else 10.24 +# define ENV_GDB "" 10.25 +#endif 10.26 +/* </settings checks> */ 10.27 + 10.28 static const struct master_settings master_default_settings = { 10.29 .base_dir = PKG_RUNDIR, 10.30 .libexec_dir = PKG_LIBEXECDIR, 10.31 + .import_environment = "TZ" ENV_SYSTEMD ENV_GDB, If I am not missing anything, then there seems to be a problem with kerberos sasl with ldap lookups.

[Dovecot] IMAP Label Updates not showing up across shared account
by Ricardo Branco 09 Jun '11

09 Jun '11

Dovecot 2.0.13 Centos 5.4 x86_64 2.6.18-164.9.1.el5 (on ESXi) OS/Logs on local storage, /home all on NFS server for datastore (NFS Store Centos 5.5 x86_64 2.6.18-194.11.1.el5) Thunderbird 3.1.10 on XP/W7 Desktops We are seeing a werid issue where there is a delay of up to a few mins in seeing label updates on messages. I have confirmed that Thunderbird is sending the update to the server with WireShark, its just additional users connected to the same mailbox do not see them. Marking a message as Seen/Un-Seen happens faster just not labels. If you have a label set when you mark a message as Seen/Un-Seen the other clients then see the update straight away. -- The information contained in or attached to this email is intended only for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed.

Hi I migrated to dovecot 2 and I started using lmtp for mail delivery. But I have found this on my logs "save failed to INBOX: Not enough disk space" . There is enougth space on disk. and I am not using quota plugin on lmtp my lmtp conf is as follow: # ## LMTP specific settings ## # Support proxying to other LMTP/SMTP servers by performing passdb lookups. #lmtp_proxy = no # When recipient address includes the detail (e.g. user+detail), try to save # the mail to the detail mailbox. See also recipient_delimiter and # lda_mailbox_autocreate settings. #lmtp_save_to_detail_mailbox = no protocol lmtp { # Space separated list of plugins to load (default is global mail_plugins). #mail_plugins = $mail_plugins mail_plugins = sieve postmaster_address = admin(a)domain.tld } Any idea please?

[Dovecot] deliver doesn't find adress/inbox
by Martin Benkenstein 08 Jun '11

08 Jun '11

I'm trying to make dovecot 1.2.15, deliver, openLDAP, exim and fetchmail work together on an Debian Squeeze (virtual) maschine. The connection between dovecot and LDAP seems to be working, I can logon from Thunderbird (IMAP) and my maildir is created automatically. So far so good. But when I download the mails via fetchmail, it seems that deliver cannot find the correct mailbox for the X-Envelope-To entry in the header. fetchmail downloads all mails for the domain from one account (config below) and hands them over to exim. I configured exim addording to the wiki entry (http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Exim Virtual Users / Single UID). The mail is sent back to the account which is fetched by fetchmail. There is a header entry X-Fetchmail-Warning: no recipient addresses matched declared local names. The fetchmail-log itself is worthless. What am I doing wrong? At which does the system try to look up the mailaddress and fails?

[Dovecot] How Dovecot 2 create folders and subfolders ( MBOX format ) with TB ?
by Frank Bonnet 07 Jun '11

07 Jun '11

Hello When creating new IMAP folder with thunderbird and Dovecot configured with the std MBOX format dovecot create a file in mbox format and so it is not possible to create a subfolder of this folder. If you ask to create a NEW subfolder of the form : TOTO/TATA Dovecot create a directory TOTO containing a mbox file TATA. Very useful :-) I suppose the "/" separator is parsed by dovecot then it creates a directory containing the mbox file. Am I right ?

[Dovecot] restore lost emails

07 Jun '11

Hi, I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me with this. I am running Postfix 2.7.0, Dovecot 1.2.9 and squirrelmail. Every week, I perform a back-up on both Postfix and Dovecot (maildir and conf folders). That's good because I have all the emails backed up. And now what I would like to ask is whether or not there are any easy way of restoring e-mails if some emails got deleted by accident or for other reason. So far, I have tried to look up the answer on the Internet but got a bit of vague answer. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

[Dovecot] Subject: IMAP crash on index
by Ruan Kendall 06 Jun '11

06 Jun '11

I'm running Dovecot 1.2.15 as an IMAP server on an up-to-date Debian v6 VM. I've recently upgraded the server from a pretty crusty old Debian v4 installation, though I don't recall exactly which version of Dovecot that would have been running. I guess I could try crawling through the old logs to check if it is likely to be useful. The upgrade seemed to have gone fine and I've been using the new server for about a week, but this morning I'm finding that whilst I can successfully connect to the IMAP server using Mutt, it can't display a mail index and a quick peek at the logs shows the IMAP process falling over: (account and server IP replaced) Jun 6 10:39:27 xen dovecot: Dovecot v1.2.15 starting up (core dumps disabled) Jun 6 10:39:27 xen dovecot: auth-worker(default): mysql: Connected to localhost (mail) Jun 6 10:39:34 xen dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<example(a)example.org>, method=PLAIN, rip=::1, lip=::1, TLS Jun 6 10:39:35 xen dovecot: IMAP(example(a)example.org): Panic: file mail-index-view.c: line 264 (view_lookup_seq_range): assertion failed: (first_uid > 0) Jun 6 10:39:35 xen dovecot: IMAP(example(a)example.org): Raw backtrace: imap() [0x80f0e1e] -> imap() [0x80f0e82] -> imap() [0x80f0809] -> imap() [0x80ceb17] -> imap(mail_index_lookup_seq+0x26) [0x80ce5f6] -> imap() [0x80c481d] -> imap(mail_index_modseq_hdr_update+0x2e) [0x80c48ee] -> imap(mail_index_sync_ext_hdr_update+0xbb) [0x80de91b] -> imap(mail_index_sync_record+0x40f) [0x80cd57f] -> imap(mail_index_sync_map+0x2dd) [0x80cdfed] -> imap(mail_index_map+0x5c7) [0x80c3557] -> imap() [0x80bfd87] -> imap(mail_index_open+0x23f) [0x80c01ff] -> imap(index_storage_mailbox_open+0x71) [0x80abc81] -> imap(maildir_storage_sync_init+0x188) [0x8086c18] -> imap(mailbox_sync+0x31) [0x80b59d1] -> imap(imap_status_get+0x8a) [0x806f0ea] -> imap(cmd_status+0x123) [0x8065dd3] -> imap() [0x8067b5c] -> imap() [0x8067c32] -> imap(client_handle_input+0x175) [0x8067eb5] -> imap(client_input+0x5f) [0x80686ef] -> imap(io_loop_handler_run+0xd6) [0x80f9aa6] -> imap(io_loop_run+0x20) [0x80f8f20] -> imap(main+0x5b4) [0x8070f24] -> /lib/i Jun 6 10:39:35 xen dovecot: IMAP(example(a)example.org): 76] -> imap() [0x80603a1] Jun 6 10:39:35 xen dovecot: dovecot: child 20617 (imap) killed with signal 6 (core dumps disabled) I've not been able to find any mentions of this error occurring for other people. I've not looked at the source to see what the server is trying to do at this point. Restarting the IMAP service doesn't help. Any suggestions or advice?

[Dovecot] Outlook2010 + dovecot-1.2.10 - UID FETCH 0 (xxx) Error
by Jin FengMing 06 Jun '11

Hi all, I'm not so sure it is about to dovecot, but any thoughts will be appreciated. I have an email account configured as IMAP(dovecot-1.2.10) via outlook 2010. If I'm creating a *new* mailbox folder, for example "ttt", and *copying* a mail into *that* mailbox folder, then an error message window will be displayed. The problem caused by C:UID FETCH 0 (UID FLAGS RFC822.SIZE BODY.PEEK[HEADER] INTERNALDATE) S:3mgc BAD Error in IMAP command UID FETCH: Invalid uidset The dovecot's rawlog 20100101-060322-5491.in: 54nc IDLE DONE uh4m SELECT "INBOX.ttt" 37ax IDLE DONE 5dtr FETCH 1 (UID) 3mgc UID FETCH 0 (UID FLAGS RFC822.SIZE BODY.PEEK[HEADER] INTERNALDATE) 28kc IDLE DONE msxw CLOSE tuis IDLE DONE a6rl SELECT "INBOX.ttt" 59oj FETCH 1 (UID) k26b UID FETCH 1 (UID FLAGS) z8su IDLE DONE 20100101-060322-5491.out: * OK [RAWLOG TIMESTAMP] 2010-01-01 06:03:22 7u95 OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE SORT SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT IDLE CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE QRESYNC ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH LIST-STATUS] Logged in + idling 54nc OK Idle completed. * FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft) * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft \*)] Flags permitted. * 0 EXISTS * 0 RECENT * OK [UIDVALIDITY 1262323866] UIDs valid * OK [UIDNEXT 1] Predicted next UID * OK [NOMODSEQ] No permanent modsequences uh4m OK [READ-WRITE] Select completed. + idling * 1 EXISTS 37ax OK Idle completed. * 1 FETCH (UID 1) 5dtr OK Fetch completed. 3mgc BAD Error in IMAP command UID FETCH: Invalid uidset + idling 28kc OK Idle completed. msxw OK Close completed. + idling tuis OK Idle completed. * FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft) * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft \*)] Flags permitted. * 1 EXISTS * 0 RECENT * OK [UIDVALIDITY 1262323866] UIDs valid * OK [UIDNEXT 2] Predicted next UID * OK [NOMODSEQ] No permanent modsequences a6rl OK [READ-WRITE] Select completed. * 1 FETCH (UID 1) 59oj OK Fetch completed. * 1 FETCH (UID 1 FLAGS (\Seen)) k26b OK Fetch completed. + idling z8su OK Idle completed.

[Dovecot] file rights for dictionary file
by Michael Köhler 06 Jun '11

06 Jun '11

Hi, I use Debian Squeeze and the sources from Stephan Bosch. A few weeks ago I´ve upgraded from 2.0.11 to 2.0.13 and got an error May 29 20:01:53 mailserver dovecot: dict: Error: Can't open configuration file /etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext: Permission denied May 29 20:01:53 mailserver dovecot: dict: Error: Failed to initialize dictionary 'quota' and I could see that /etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext is owning by root:root with 600. After changing to root:root 644 all works, but after each upgrade all files in /etc/dovecot will be set to 600. Is it a problem of the dovecot package or should I do some changes to config to allow dovecot reading the dict file? Here is my config: # 2.0.13 (9ae30e5d6935): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-5-xen-amd64 x86_64 Debian 6.0.1 ext3 auth_mechanisms = plain login cram-md5 dict { quota = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext } first_valid_uid = 106 lda_mailbox_autocreate = yes lda_mailbox_autosubscribe = yes mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/%d/%u mail_plugins = quota 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 = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } plugin { autocreate = Sent Messages autocreate2 = Deleted Messages autocreate3 = Drafts autosubscribe = Sent Messages autosubscribe2 = Deleted Messages autosubscribe3 = Drafts quota = dict:User quota::proxy::quota quota_rule2 = Deleted Messages:storage=+1GB sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve } protocols = imap lmtp service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } } service dict { unix_listener dict { group = mail mode = 0660 } } service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 0 } inet_listener imaps { port = 993 ssl = yes } } service lmtp { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } } ssl = required ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/mailserver-cert.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/mailserver-key.pem userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = quota } protocol imap { mail_plugins = quota imap_quota autocreate } local_name mailserver.makomi.de { ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/mailserver1-cert.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/mailserver1-key.pem } local_name mailserver.kokoma.de { ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/mailserver2-cert.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/mailserver2-key.pem } local_name mailserver.grooveb.de { ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/mailserver3-cert.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/mailserver3-key.pem } local_name mailserver.koehler-gohlis.de { ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/mailserver4-cert.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/mailserver4-key.pem } local_name mailserver.koehler-schroeder.de { ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/mailserver5-cert.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/mailserver5-key.pem } Greetings, Michael
