[Dovecot] Bug: Fixed a duplicate
by Tom Sommer 06 Jun '11

06 Jun '11

I restored a dovecot mailserver today, and when I started the server again, the logs filled up with "Fixed a duplicate" warnings. This in itself it not a problem, the problem is that it appears the fix is not done correct. Consider this: Warning: Fixed a duplicate: [X]/cur/1305907573.V807I37682f3M146183.mail8.xxx.com:2,S -> 1306601066.M382668P27710.mail8.xxx.com The problem appears to be the timestamp of this new file isn't updated correctly. Now I got hundreds of mailboxes filled with mails named 1305907573.* with random (in the past) timestamps, leading to mangled miss-sorted inboxes for customers. 3575 May 25 02:05 1306600913.M982997P26976.mail8.xxx.com:2,S 55313 May 6 01:50 1306600913.M982998P26976.mail8.xxx.com:2,S 9839 May 7 23:59 1306600913.M982999P26976.mail8.xxx.com:2,S 3453 May 10 01:32 1306600913.M983000P26976.mail8.xxx.com:2,S 16616 May 14 00:22 1306600913.M983001P26976.mail8.xxx.com:2,S 68850 May 25 00:46 1306600913.M983002P26976.mail8.xxx.com:2,S etc. Dovecot is v. 2.0.11 I guess I should have deleted all dovecot.* files after the restore, before I started dovecot? // Tom

[Dovecot] Custom sql query for keeping quota with dict-sql
by Marcin Mirosław 05 Jun '11

05 Jun '11

Hello! I'd like to setup quota for for virtualusers, i'm using both maildir++ and mdbox as storage, and i'm using postgresql to keep users. I'm keeping all users data in one table: [...] login text NOT NULL, domain text, password text, quota_mb integer NOT NULL DEFAULT 0 [... other columns ...] i'd like to keep present quota in such two columns: quota_dict_bytes integer NOT NULL DEFAULT 0, quota_dict_messages integer NOT NULL DEFAULT 0 I read wiki a little and it looks i can't define own sql queries, they appear to be hardcoded. Am i wrong? Is it possible to write own queries to get/set quota using such table schema? Or maybe there is diffrent way to track quota for diffrent storages? Regards! Marcin

[Dovecot] solr substring schema.xml
by Daniel Miller 03 Jun '11

03 Jun '11

I'm trying a modified schema.xml with solr - it appears I now have substring searches! I took the schema.xml file shipped with Dovecot, and modified the text field definition to be: <fieldType name="text" class="solr.TextField" positionIncrementGap="100"> <analyzer type="index"> <tokenizer class="solr.WhitespaceTokenizerFactory"/> <filter class="solr.StopFilterFactory" ignoreCase="true" words="stopwords.txt"/> <filter class="solr.WordDelimiterFilterFactory" generateWordParts="1" generateNumberParts="1" catenateWords="1" catenateNumbers="1" catenateAll="0"/> <filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/> <filter class="solr.SnowballPorterFilterFactory" protected="protwords.txt"/> <filter class="solr.NGramFilterFactory" minGramSize="3" maxGramSize="15"/> <filter class="solr.RemoveDuplicatesTokenFilterFactory"/> </analyzer> <analyzer type="query"> <tokenizer class="solr.WhitespaceTokenizerFactory"/> <filter class="solr.SynonymFilterFactory" synonyms="synonyms.txt" ignoreCase="true" expand="true"/> <filter class="solr.StopFilterFactory" ignoreCase="true" words="stopwords.txt"/> <filter class="solr.WordDelimiterFilterFactory" generateWordParts="1" generateNumberParts="1" catenateWords="0" catenateNumbers="0" catenateAll="0"/> <filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/> <filter class="solr.SnowballPorterFilterFactory" protected="protwords.txt"/> <filter class="solr.RemoveDuplicatesTokenFilterFactory"/> </analyzer> </fieldType> Changing to the new "SnowballPorter" instead of the deprecated "EnglishPorter" filters is probably minor - the magic is the "NGramFilterFactory". 3 & 15 seemed reasonable defaults for the min/max size to search on. -- Daniel

[Dovecot] unexpected subfolder locaton in Maildir/.INBOX.subfolder
by wulf 03 Jun '11

03 Jun '11

Hallo, I try to migrate existing imap server to dovecot 1.2 in debian squeeze if I connect to imap://user@host/INBOX Inbox works as expected and I get the content of Maildir/{cur,new,tmp} Maildir/.subfolder already exists if I connect to imap://user@host/INBOX.subfolder I get "folder not found" if I do a imap directory listing (raw mutt config, no subscriptions) - I see "../" - If I navigate to "../" I se all my existing subfolders if I create a new folder via imap the folder is created in Maildir/.INBOX.new_subfolder I expect the creation of Maildir/.new_subfolder This doesn't fit to the client configs and if I move the existing folders it doesn't fit to existing delivery agent filters and settings. I enabled mail_debug and the expansion looks ok for me: dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<wulf>, method=PLAIN, rip=85.178.xx.xxx, lip=80.81.xxx.xxx, TLS dovecot: IMAP(wulf): Effective uid=112, gid=114, home=/var/mail/home/wulf dovecot: IMAP(wulf): maildir: data=~/Maildir dovecot: IMAP(wulf): maildir++: root=/var/mail/home/wulf/Maildir, index=, control=, inbox=/var/mail/home/wulf/Maildir the existing subscription information from courier-imap looks like INBOX.subolder Yes I can sed them to subfolder (of course I have to copy them to Maildir/subscriptions anyhow) But is that the idea? I like to avoid trouble with all the users and their already configured mail-clients. Where is my mistake?

[Dovecot] Running a dovecot cluster with mixed versions?
by Ian Foutch 03 Jun '11

03 Jun '11

I have been trying to find information and possible issues with running a cluster of dovecot server with different versions without any luck. We have an existing cluster with dovecot v1.1.10 and tried migrating to a new cluster with dovecot v2.0.12. We ran into some issues when we moved traffic to the new cluster and have been unable to reproduce it in our own testing. We may need to put real usage on the new servers but would like to be able to do this by adding newer servers into the existing cluster. What are the potential issues with doing this?

[Dovecot] Problems in auth when switching from PLAIN-MD5
by Eduardo Casarero 03 Jun '11

03 Jun '11

Hi, i am running dovecot 2.0.11 (with mysql backend) and until now using PLAIN-MD5 as pass default_pass_scheme everything was working fine. However i wanted to change the pass_scheme to something stronger than plain-md5, so i started by reading the wiki. I found this: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/ConvertPasswordSchemes But when i comment out "default_pass_scheme" and i create the pass with the {SHA256.hex} prefix i see this in the logs: auth: Error: sql(xxx(a)xxxxxx.com,10.21.1.1): Password in passdb is not in expected scheme SHA256.hex I tried with several algorithms, but it seems to be something in my config that it's only working with plain-md5. the auth_mechanism is plain with ssl/tls. Maybe someone can give me a hint of where to see o which config file review. Thanks in advance. Eduardo.

[Dovecot] slow squat fts index creation
by Cor Bosman 03 Jun '11

03 Jun '11

Hi all, ive been playing with squat indexes. Up to about 300.000 emails in a single mailbox this was working flawlessly. The search index file is about 500MB at that time. Ive now added some more emails, and at 450.000 or so emails im seeing a serious problem with squat index creation. It takes...f o r e v e r . The .tmp file is being so slowly, it will probably take 2-3 hours to create. Upto this point it took maybe a minute. Im doing this in an openvz container, so theoretically i may be hitting some openvz resource limit. But ive upped all the limits and dont see any improvements. I dont see any resources starvation either. Could there be some dovecot issue when the search index reaches say 1GB? (im estimating that it's now trying to save about 1GB search index). Regards, Cor

[Dovecot] Error: file_dotlock_create failed: Permission denied
by M. Fioretti 03 Jun '11

03 Jun '11

Hi, I have a Fedora 14 x86_64 computer. I run dovecot 2.0.12 on it, only to keep a local imap copy of all my email, in maildir format. A couple days ago the hard disk broke, so I bought a new one, and reinstalled Fedora 14 x86_64 with all the updates. Then I copied all the maildirs from a backup to the new drive. But I can't access email now. No matter how I change sticky bits or ownership and permissions of all the involved files and directories, etc..

[Dovecot] Squat Question!
by Henrique Fernandes 03 Jun '11

03 Jun '11

Hello folks, I use dovecot squat for indexing. I use to have fts_squat = partial=4 full=4 But i change to fts_squat = partial=4 full=8 My question is, do i need to delete older indexes to have it consistenly, or dovecot is able "update" the indexes or it sees that it is broken and rebuild it all? Other question, is there an comand line to update the indexes ? Thanks a lot! []'sf.rique

[Dovecot] This is appear a fts bug
by Antonio Perez-Aranda 03 Jun '11

03 Jun '11

I have checked this on dovecot 2.0.9 and 2.0.13 with fts-solr without patching. If you execute the follow IMAP script, then the imap process die by and a "assert" . select "inbox." . search text something After search, the connection is aborted in the client side, and imap process died on the server. When the log in dovecot says: (fts_backend_solr_init): assertion failed: (*box_name != '\0') After debug the code, there isn't in context any possibility to get "box_name". With squat plugin it is running. -- Antonio Pérez-Aranda Alcaide aperezaranda(a)yaco.es Yaco Sistemas S.L. http://www.yaco.es/ C/ Rioja 5, 41001 Sevilla Teléfono +34 954 50 00 57 Fax +34 954 50 09 29

[Dovecot] shared folders "invisible" on new setup
by Torsten Harenberg 03 Jun '11

03 Jun '11

Dear list, I hope this is not an old issue, but I couldn't find a solution even after google'ing quite some time. I try to migrate our institute's mail server (~200 users) from an old cyrus-based Mac installation to a new machine (NetBSD, dovecot 2.0.13). Everything went quite smoothly so far, but we are used to have "shared folders" ("public" folders in dovecot) and I simply couldn't make them to appear. I have two separate folders for private (user) mails and for public ones (yes, I set everything to 777 for the moment to avoid file access problems) : mailserver# pwd /var/mail mailserver# ls -al total 8 drwxrwxrwt 4 dovecot wheel 512 May 31 12:26 . drwxr-xr-x 28 root wheel 512 Mar 29 15:05 .. drwxrwxrwx 3 root mail 512 May 31 15:18 public drwxrwxrwx 4 root wheel 512 May 31 12:26 user In the public folder there is a shared folder named "fb8": mailserver# pwd /var/mail/public mailserver# ls -al total 8 drwxrwxrwx 3 root mail 512 May 31 15:18 . drwxrwxrwt 4 dovecot wheel 512 May 31 12:26 .. -rw-rw-rw- 1 10001 mail 0 May 31 15:14 dovecot-acl-list -rwxrwxrwx 1 root mail 0 May 31 11:06 dovecot-shared drwxrwxrwx 5 root mail 512 May 31 12:03 fb8 Now my own username (LDAP-based) is "harenber" and I try to subscribe myself to this list: mailserver# doveadm mailbox subscribe -u harenber public.fb8 mailserver# So a "subscriptions" file appears: mailserver# ls -al total 8 drwxrwxrwx 3 root mail 512 May 31 15:18 . drwxrwxrwt 4 dovecot wheel 512 May 31 12:26 .. -rw-rw-rw- 1 10001 mail 0 May 31 15:14 dovecot-acl-list -rwxrwxrwx 1 root mail 0 May 31 11:06 dovecot-shared drwxrwxrwx 5 root mail 512 May 31 12:03 fb8 -rw-rw-rw- 1 10001 mail 4 May 31 15:18 subscriptions mailserver# cat subscriptions fb8 mailserver# (although I think this is wrong, as I have namespace { list = children location = maildir:/var/mail/public:INDEX=~/public prefix = public. separator = . subscriptions = no type = public } I would assume this file to appear somewhere in /var/mail/user/harenber/public... ) But I cannot access this "fb8" folder with any client.

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2 + Director: IMAP+GSSAPI and LMTP-proxying
by Jahnke-Zumbusch, Dirk 03 Jun '11

03 Jun '11

Hi all, I have a setup of some nodes running Dovecot 2.0.13 and Postfix 2.5.6 with storage in NFS and authentication happening with PAM. Poking around in the wiki, I tried out different possibilities but now I am stuck -- and are hoping for your (enlightening) comments and tips. My planned setup for IMAP and LMTP is like this: IMAP ==== 1. A loadbalancer directs new sessions to a Dovecot-Director instance; this extra amount of traffic routing is mostly done for automatic handling in case of a failing Director node; this works fine, the same IP will end always on the same backend, but user-based Directory proxying seems more appropriate, especially taking the NFS-setup and the delivery process into account 2. Then the Director decides where to direct the user's session; this works fine when I let the backend servers do the authentication work 3. The backend Dovecot server will happily provide the user's e-mail For now my section for the passdb in the Director instance is passdb { driver = static args = proxy=y nopassword=y } So the backend will do the authentication of the session. But this setup inhibits using Kerberos, as the TGT is not forwarded to the backend server. I would very much like to provide GSSAPI/Kerberos authentication, which already works fine with the backend servers being directly connected by mail clients. The backend servers are using the PAM driver. I could not figure out, how to setup the passdb entry for the director instance to use PAM (this way enabling GSSAPI/Kerberos) and also giving back the necessary "proxy=y" to make director proxying the IMAP session. Is this setup feasible at all? LMTP ==== 1. Postfix accepts incoming e-mail and decides, which e-mail will go the LMTP-way to be deliverd into a Dovecot mailbox with something like virtual_transport = lmtp:inet:DOVECOT-DIRECTORS-IP:LMTP-PORT-ABC 2. the Dovecot Director instance accepts the LMTP connections and will proxy this to the appropriate==user's current backend server For now Postfix delivers e-mails using LMTP to the _backend_ w/o proxying and everything like SIEVE-filtering works fine: virtual_transport = lmtp:inet:DOVECOT-BACKENDS-IP:LMTP-PORT-XYZ But when I use the Director's IP/Port combination for LMTP, I see an error "554 5.4.6 <the(a)addr.ess> Proxying loops to itself". Where may I specify the port number of the backend server's LMTP-port? I suspect that the missing port number implies that the receiving LMTP-backend server uses the same port and so this would lead to a loop, hence the loop error?! I browsed the Wiki and the archives but still cannot find the information I am looking for. Any hints on that?

[Dovecot] doveadm "-S <socket_path>" option enabled in 2.0.8?
by David Warden 03 Jun '11

03 Jun '11

I apologize if this is a stupid question but I just compiled 2.0.8 and am trying to use doveadm to get the quota for a user using the -S <socket_path> option because I have different options for the various local IPs that dovecot listens on. For example, my default quota is filesystem (NFS rquota) and I can get that by doing: doveadm quota get -u warden which tells me: Quota name Type Value Limit % User quota STORAGE 1313476 1766400 74 But when I try to get my quota on a different local IP using the -S flag to doveadm: doveadm quota get -u warden -S 137.238.2.244:143 I am told: get: invalid option -- S The strange thing is doveadm's usage says that the -S option is valid for quite a few commands and in the man pages for those commands it looks like they should work for the way I'm calling doveadm. In the 2.0.8 source I also see code that looks like it should be parsing the -S flag. I can telnet to 127.0.0.1:143 and do ". getquotaroot inbox" which gives me the same information as "doveadm quota get -u warden" and I can telnet to 137.238.2.244:143 and ". getquotaroot inbox" also tells me my quota, but I'm hoping to use doveadm to periodically recalc my Maildir++ quota and update the squat FTS indexes and for that to happen doveadm needs to be able to be told what local IP address/port to connect to (I think). Here's my doveconf -n: # 2.0.8: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.18-194.26.1.0.1.el5 x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.5 (Tikanga) nfs auth_cache_size = 10 M auth_master_user_separator = * auth_mechanisms = plain login auth_username_format = %Ln deliver_log_format = msgid="%m" subject="%s" from="%f" size=%p result="%$" first_valid_uid = 0 lda_mailbox_autocreate = yes lda_mailbox_autosubscribe = yes login_log_format_elements = user=%u method=%m rip=%r lip=%l lport=%a mpid=%e encryption=%c mail_location = maildir:/home/%Lu/Maildir:CONTROL=/Mail/mailhome/%Lu/.dovecot:INDEX=/Mail/mailhome/%Lu/.dovecot mail_log_prefix = "service=%s user=%u rip=%r lip=%l " mail_nfs_storage = yes mail_plugins = zlib quota mail_log notify fts fts_squat 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 mbox_write_locks = fcntl namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = INBOX. separator = . type = private } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/passwd.masterusers driver = passwd-file master = yes } passdb { args = cache_key=%u dovecot driver = pam } plugin { autocreate = Trash autocreate2 = Drafts autocreate3 = Sent autosubscribe = Trash autosubscribe2 = Drafts autosubscribe3 = Sent fts = squat mail_log_events = delete undelete expunge copy mailbox_delete mailbox_rename flag_change append mail_log_fields = uid box msgid size from subject flags mail_log_group_events = yes quota = fs:User quota quota_exceeded_message = Quota exceeded (mailbox for user is full).

[Dovecot] [dovecot] notifications when delivery fails

Hello Timo, We have dovecot 1.2.13. Is there any way to send notifications to the postmaster when a delivery fails? For example, when the dovecot index are corrupted and the mail is not sent to the user (the user who sent the message receives an error informing that the mail has not sent). Thank you very much in advanced.

[Dovecot] 2.0: deliver run from multiple uids and configuration files
by Arkadiusz Miskiewicz 03 Jun '11

03 Jun '11

I'm trying to run deliver from exim transport in a way that it doesn't need to query userdb AND doesn't need to read configuration files. The problem is that config files are readable for root only and if I run deliver with multiple UIDs then I would have to allow reading config files for everyone. Of course that's not a option because configs contain database passwords and such stuff. I wonder if it is possible to avoid reading config files by deliver? The only solution I see it to run deliver via sudo which doesn't look nice. -- Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz PLD/Linux Team arekm / maven.pl http://ftp.pld-linux.org/

[Dovecot] LMTP/Sieve/sendmail path
by Andreas Schulze 03 Jun '11

03 Jun '11

Hello, I have a system using postfix multi instance feature. The first, main postfix-instance is a nullclient as suggested by http://www.postfix.org/MULTI_INSTANCE_README.html#split The second instance is for real use. Postfix receive mail and handover them to the dovecot lmtp server. Thats working. The lmtp server supports sieve. One account has activated a vacation rule. So while delivering a mail to this account, dovecot creates a new mail based on the vacation rules. *This one* fail. It is injected in the main postfix instance, which is wrong in this case. I tried to start dovecot with an additional environment MAIL_CONFIG=/etc/postfix-instance2 and enabled alternate_config_directories in main.cf of the first insance. ( http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#alternate_config_directories ) I also configured the userdb to return an extrafield userdb_mail_config=/etc/postfix-instance2. But all produce strance postfix errors I never saw in my last 6 years as postfix-admin. Would it be possible to configure dovecot lmtp server to use an external smtp-server to submit new mails ? Any other Ideas ?

[Dovecot] Baffled after upgrade
by Bert Todger 02 Jun '11

02 Jun '11

Hello all, I have just upgraded my Fedora 13 system to F15. With it came a shiny new dovecot 2.0.13 (Details of dovecot -n below). The configuration is different from the dovecot 1.something that I had been used to with F13, but I managed to get it working and all was well... Without changing anything related to dovecot (as far as I know), after a reboot, dovecot stopped working.

I don't necessarily want my (or their) email passwords to be the same as our PAM logon passwords (and at the moment they're not). So for me PLAIN has been the best solution up until now. What is my best (and simplest) solution?

[Dovecot] DOVECOT v2.0.11 using SIEVE not working
by Matt Mc Namara 02 Jun '11

Hi, I'm trying to get sieve working with dovecot. I seem to have everything enabled but my scripts done seem to work. both sieve-filter (2000) and sieve (4190) are running along with pop3 and imap. I have a simple script which checks the email address and moves it to a folder. I'm at a loss as to what to check next. Thanks in advance, Matt

[Dovecot] Client IP log variable for proxy/director setups?
by Kelsey Cummings 01 Jun '11

01 Jun '11

Timo - it would be very convenient if we could get a variable that held the real client ip for use in logging with director/proxy setups. It's clearly already passed around in client->user->remote_ip but at this point, I don't see anyway to get it into the logs and it would take me ages to figure out the Right place to add it since client->user doesn't seem to be available in client-common.c: get_var_expand_table(..). Perhaps I'm missing something obvious? -- Kelsey Cummings - kgc(a)corp.sonic.net sonic.net, inc. System Architect 2260 Apollo Way 707.522.1000 Santa Rosa, CA 95407

[Dovecot] recipient delimiters and virtual users
by Nick Edwards 30 May '11

30 May '11

Is there a known workaround for users who want to use the old recipient delimiter plus sign method of sorting their mail? eg: foo.bat +dovecot(a)example.com <foe.blow%2Bdovecot(a)example.com> This does not work with postfix/dovecot, but if we tell postfix/system-passwd to use the recipient_delimiter = + it works just like I recall sendmail did, but we no longer use local users only virtual dovecot LDA w/mysql. postfix appears to accept it testing by telnet, but then the message gets a new DSN generated saying no user, so dovecot LDA must not work by default with this. Postfix 2.8.3 Dovecot 1.2.17 MySQL 5.5.12 our postfix master.cf is dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=mail:mail argv=/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -e -d ${recipient}

[Dovecot] Email being stored in "cur" folder and not being downloaded in Thunderbird
by Jay Welch 27 May '11

27 May '11

Hi, I have recently noticed that a random number of emails are being stored in the "cur" folder under certain users and cannot be downloaded in Thunderbird. I have tried moving the emails from "cur" to "new" but everytime I try to download the email from Thunderbird, the emails go back to the "cur" folder. What could be causing this? What is the "cur" folder used for? I had thought that the "cur" folder was used for IMAP but all the users here are using POP. Also, I have tried testing this on Outlook and Outlook seems to download the files from "cur". Thanks

[Dovecot] Moving maildir mailboxes
by Willie Gillespie 26 May '11

26 May '11

I am using Maildir with Dovecot 1.2. (Config available if needed, but should be a simple question.) I have a bunch of mail that I would like to do a one-time move from a private namespace to a shared namespace. The namespaces are already set up, etc. Can I just move the folders to their new location? I am not merging with existing folders, they would be new subfolders. Thanks! - Willie

[Dovecot] 2.0.12 (fa2e92526716): Deleting mails and folders from public namespaces
by Binarus 26 May '11

26 May '11

Hello, we basically run a dovecot imap setup where users' mailboxes are in private namespaces (as usual), but there is a public namespace with several thousand deeply nested folders also. The client we use is Thunderbird 3. The public namespace shows up in each user's account at the top level (i.e. same level as Inbox, Sent and so on), and users can make new subfolders in the public namespace, copy mails to it and so on. So, our setup basically works. But whenever a user tries to delete a folder from the public namespace, dovecot gives the following error: "Renaming not supported across non-private namespaces". I think I have a grasp why this happens (Thunderbird tries to move the folder from the public namespace into the trash folder (private namespace) of the user who does the deletion), and I also have read Timo's statement that he does not plan to support such renaming due to big problems he is seeing with it. Nevertheless, since deleting a folder from a public archive is not a too uncommon thing, I wanted to ask how other people have solved that. It came to my mind to configure Thunderbird to immediately delete folders and messages (instead of moving them to trash folder). I have tested that, and it worked, but is somehow dangerous and unsatisfying. Furthermore, I haven't completely understood the reason for the different behaviour of folders in the public namespace and a single message therein. If I configure Thunderbird to use the trash folder, users can delete messages from the public namespace, i.e. Thunderbird can move messages from the public namespace to the private trash folder of the respective account. This is obviously not true for folders (even if they are empty). What's the difference between an empty folder and a single message in this respect? Is it really the ACL thing which makes folders so difficult to handle opposed to single messages? Thank you very much for any ideas!

26 May '11

Hello folks, i am lookign in the wiki, but did not find anything very clear about what i want. I need to have namespace for each user from mysql. But like, i need all configruation comming from mysql, not only the location. Is that possible? here: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Namespaces at section: Per-user Namespace Location From SQLI can set the location, is there an way to make everything ? Like the name of namespace, and etc ? Thanks to all! []'sf.rique

[Dovecot] v1.1.20 vs v1.2 & v2.0
by Adam 25 May '11

25 May '11

I am currently running v1.1.20 and was wondering if there is any compelling reason to upgrade to v1.2 or v2.0? For example is there any security updates in v1.2 or v2.0 that aren't included in v1.1.20? The other major thing I would be interested in knowing is there any speed enhancements in the newer versions? I am using basic PAM Auth and Maildir mailboxes on a Linux box. Let me know if you need any more information to answer my questions. Thanks, Adam

[Dovecot] problems with debian 5.0 and thunderbird
by Steven Jones 25 May '11

25 May '11

Hi, Does anyone have a setup guide for Thunderbird and Dovecot on Debian please? Dovecot is 1.0.15 I have Dovecot running listening on 143 and I can telnet from the XP guest but Thunderbird cant or wont talk to it. I have taken the # off listen and I get a telnet reply, no firewall is configured.... Ive set thunderbird up lots so I suspect its not Thunderbird but a dovecot config I have wrong. regards

[Dovecot] libwrap does it work on in 2.0?
by a.smith＠ukgrid.net 24 May '11

24 May '11

Hi, I noticed recently that libwrap (TCP Wrappers) is supported, although disabled by default, in the current Dovecot 2.0 but doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere on the wiki. Is this working well/at all? Anyone care with experience using this care to share their experiences? My OS is FreeBSD, I noticed on some Linux distributions there may be issues, but this won't affect my installation. thanks Andy.

I'm all for that since I don't seem to have any need for a home directory. Any idea of how to do it with a passwd-file userdb backend? I also tried to override home directory with userdb { driver = passwd-file args = /etc/passwd home=/bundled/home/$n } but that didn't work out too well.

[Dovecot] delegation of admin rights
by Ariel Biener 23 May '11

23 May '11

Hello, We're a rather largish university (largest in Israel), with some 60-70k users, using Dovecot 1.2.14 (we're cautious about moving to 2.0.x for now). We need to provide admin rights to faculty computer/IT staff, so they can have access to the mailboxes of their respective users. We use LDAP as an authentication/authorization backend. Currently, dovecot has a "master user" which can access all mailboxes. I am looking for a solution, preferably within dovecot, to create a delegation type of administration, allowing certain users to access the mailboxes of other users based on an LDAP filter or LDAP attribute value. If possible, allowing per protocol access(that is, I would like to give them IMAP access and not POP3) and within IMAP allowing only to view a mailbox, but not to change it, that would be even better. Does anyone on this list know of any IMAP proxy providing such abilities, and also, would the Dovecot team consider this as a candidate for a request for enhancement ? This would be very useful in a delegated administration environment, like most larger organizations, hosting & ISP, and other environments where delegation is an important and very much needed ability. thanks a bunch, -- Ariel -- Ariel Biener e-mail: ariel(a)post.tau.ac.il PGP: http://www.tau.ac.il/~ariel/pgp.html

[Dovecot] Crash test :)
by kjonca＠o2.pl 23 May '11

I'm considering to move my mails from maildir/mbox to mdbox. One of my doubts is: how can I restore my mails when something terrribly wrong happens. I understand that I should use doveadm import "backup_location" "mailbox" all. So I try to import with: doveadm -v import "sdbox:~/Mail/dbox-temp/spamcop/reports/" "#Dbox/spamcop/reports" all #Dbox namespace were defined as: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- namespace { hidden = no inbox = no list = yes location = mdbox:~/Mail/Dbox prefix = "#Dbox/" separator = / subscriptions = yes type = private } --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- dbox-temp were defined earlier as --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- namespace { hidden = no inbox = no list = yes location = sdbox:~/Mail/dbox-temp separator = / subscriptions = yes type = private } --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- 1. when I specified for example sdbox:~/Mail/dbox-temp/spamcop/reports/ doveadm search mails under ~/Mail/dbox-temp/spamcop/reports/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails/ - am I missing something from documentation? (I expected rather ~/Mail/dbox-temp/mailboxes/spamcop/reports/dbox-Mails) 2. when I move dbox-Mails to proper place I got: doveadm(kjonca): Error: sdbox /home/kjonca/Mail/dbox-temp/spamcop/reports/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails: Invalid dbox header size doveadm(kjonca): Error: sdbox /home/kjonca/Mail/dbox-temp/spamcop/reports/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails: Invalid dbox header size And nothing were imported.

[Dovecot] PERMANENTFLAGS response if ACL seen/write rights are missing
by Michael M Slusarz 23 May '11

23 May '11

In dovecot 2.0.13, if a user does not have either s or w ACL rights on a mailbox, PERMANENTFLAGS correctly indicates that the mailbox has not permanent flags: * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS ()] Read-only mailbox. However, if one is set but not the other, the PERMANENTFLAGS list is not being pruned appropriately. For example, for a mailbox with the following flags: * FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft $Forwarded $Junk) If s is set, but not w, I would expect PERMANENTFLAGS to look like: * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Seen)] If w is set, but not s, I would expect this: * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Draft $Forwarded $Junk \*)] However, in both cases I currently see all flags in the mailbox: * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft $Forwarded $Junk \*)] michael

[Dovecot] hardluck w/ sieve
by errno 22 May '11

22 May '11

I've followed the docs here: http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve/Dovecot ... in particular, the 'Per-user Sieve script location' scenario. However, I'm unable to get any behavior that indicates that sieve is functioning correctly - well, functioning _at_all_ would be more accurate. Relevant dovecot.conf: protocol lda { ... mail_plugins = sieve } auth default { ... passdb passwd-file { args = /var/vmail/passwd } userdb static { args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/var/vmail/%d/%u } } plugin { sieve = /var/sieve-scripts/%d/%u.sieve } ls -l /var/sieve-scripts/domain.com/user.sieve -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 224 May 22 00:18 /var/sieve-scripts/domain/user.sieve I of course have an extremely simple rule in the example 'user.sieve' file; but for whatever reasons, no filtering is occurring. Is there anything obvious in my configuration that's broke? How best to debug? Thankyou!

Running an fts update - "doveadm search text -u user(a)domain.com xyzzyx" works on some users - other mailboxes crash with: doveadm(dmiller(a)amfes.com): Panic: file squat-trie.c: line 876 (squat_build_word): assertion failed: (i + bytelen <= size) doveadm(dmiller(a)amfes.com): Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x3ccca) [0x7ffee92b6cca] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(default_fatal_handler+0x32) [0x7ffee92b6db2] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x16dda) [0x7ffee9290dda] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lib21_fts_squat_plugin.so(+0x5bbd) [0x7ffee6607bbd] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lib21_fts_squat_plugin.so(squat_trie_build_more+0x153) [0x7ffee6607d13] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lib20_fts_plugin.so(+0x59bc) [0x7ffee68159bc] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mailbox_search_next_nonblock+0x20) [0x7ffee99ac180] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mailbox_search_next+0x26) [0x7ffee99ac1d6] -> doveadm() [0x40ce47] -> doveadm() [0x409304] -> doveadm(doveadm_mail_single_user+0x8c) [0x40961c] -> doveadm() [0x409817] -> doveadm(doveadm_mail_try_run+0x141) [0x409c31] -> doveadm(main+0x3b1) [0x40dfd1] -> /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xfe) [0x7ffee8b09d8e] -> doveadm() [0x408c09] Aborted -- Daniel

[Dovecot] Behavior difference in mbox versus Maildir listing
by Bruno Prémont 22 May '11

22 May '11

Hi, My MUA (claws-mail) is having a hard time listing directories for a mail account with two namespaces, one of which using mbox and the other one using maildir to store mails. Let's call the namespaces "#mbox." and "#maildir." and have "." as separator. Assume I have the following folder hierarchy: $namespace $namespace folder $namespace folder folder1a $namespace folder folder1b $namespace folder folder1c The resulting IMAPv4 session is: mb1 LIST "" "#mbox.%" * LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "." "#mbox.folder" mb1 OK List completed. mb2 LIST "" "#mbox.folder.%" * LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "." "#mbox.folder." * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "." "#mbox.folder.folder1a" * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "." "#mbox.folder.folder1b" * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "." "#mbox.folder.folder1c" mb2 OK List completed. md1 LIST "" "#maildir.%" * LIST (\HasChildren) "." "#maildir.folder" md1 OK List completed. md2 LIST "" "#maildir.folder.%" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "#maildir.folder.folder1a" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "#maildir.folder.folder1b" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "#maildir.folder.folder1c" md2 OK List completed. Notice the extra presence of listed folder itself with trailing "." in mb2 that has no equivalent in md2! Is this expected listing behavior? If so, why the differing behavior between both storage engines? Affected dovecot versions: at least 1.1.16 and 2.0.11 (installed from Gentoo packages) System is x86 on XFS Thanks, Bruno

[Dovecot] IMAP COMPRESS not announced while using imap_zlib plugin
by Henrik Larsson 21 May '11

21 May '11

I'm trying to enable the IMAP COMPRESS plugin listed here: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Compress I have added zlib globally and imap_zlib to the imap protocol. This is the output from doveconf -n with regards to mail_plugins: --cut-- mail_plugins = zlib protocol imap { mail_plugins = zlib imap_zlib } --cut But it seem like the feature is not announced when connecting to the IMAP server: * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE STARTTLS LOGINDISABLED AUTH=DIGEST-MD5 AUTH=CRAM-MD5] Dovecot ready. I would expect something like COMPRESS=DEFLATE. I haven't enabled any compression for the Maildir files, zlib_save_level and zlib_save is not set. Does IMAP COMPRESS only work if the mailbox is compressed? Best regards Henrik Larsson

I see the same behaviour in 2.0.13, which process tracing of imap shows more clearly (/nfs/user is per user mount, /nfs/home/user is user home bundle) ... 4087: getuid() = 12345 [12345] 4087: chdir("/nfs/test") = 0 4087: stat64("/nfs/home/test/mail", 0xFFBFF6C0) = 0 4087: stat64("/nfs/home/test/mail", 0xFFBFF5A0) = 0 4087: stat64("/nfs/home/test/mail", 0xFFBFF6C0) = 0 ... This happens fairly early after imap-login forks and execs the imap process. I'll see if I can find it after building a debug version, but I think Timo will beat me to this.

[Dovecot] dovecot & OCFS2 Cluster
by Osvaldo Alvarez Pozo 20 May '11

20 May '11

hi all We have an ocfs2 cluster compose of 4 Debian lenny serveurs wich have access to an ISCSI LUN we have create a partition on this Lun and formated this partition as OCFS2. 2 serveurs does mail delivery (SMTP) and the two other are pop/imap servers. The smtp servers use dovecot LDA to deliver to mailboxes. La version de dovecot is 1.2.13, ldirectord balance conexion to the servers(pop/pops/imap/imaps to the two imap/pop serveurs) (smtp to the two smtp servers). this is a part of my dovecot.conf mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%u/Maildir mail_access_groups = mail first_valid_uid = 5000 last_valid_uid = 5000 mail_max_userip_connections = 100 maildir_copy_with_hardlinks = yes disable_plaintext_auth = no dotlock_use_excl=yes mmap_disable = yes protocols = imap imaps pop3 pop3s managesieve protocol imap { mail_plugins = quota imap_quota imap_client_workarounds = outlook-idle delay-newmail } protocol pop3 { mail_plugins = quota pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv } protocol lda { mail_plugins = quota sieve log_path = /var/log/dovecot-deliver.log info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-deliver.log } protocol managesieve { managesieve_implementation_string = dovecot } auth default { mechanisms = plain login passdb sql { args = /etc/dovecot/sql.conf } userdb prefetch { } userdb sql { args = /etc/dovecot/sql.conf } user = nobody socket listen { master { path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode = 0660 user = vmail group = mail } client { path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode = 0660 user = postfix group = mail } We are having severals problems from "cpu stuck for 61 seconds" to "too many connexion". I wonder if there is a configuation type of dovecot when using ocfs2. In tje dovecot site they give advices about how to configure dovecot when using NFS, but not about OCFS2. Somme people say that lda shuld not be used. Any help please? Thanks nebano

[Dovecot] Migrate to new server without raw copy
by Daniel L. Miller 20 May '11

20 May '11

I've setup a new virtual machine to run my mail servers. Dovecot is installed and talking with the LDAP server for the user list. Now the question is how to migrate the data from the old Dovecot to the new. The data is stored in mdbox, with some possible corruption. Accordingly, any form of simple file copy is not the answer - I need the messages to be processed by something and then stored fresh on the new server. I do have NFS access both ways if that does anything. I tried imapsync - but it quickly broke on some of the messages. Is dsync the answer? Or do I use a MUA and drag-n-drop the messages a batch at a time between the servers? -- Daniel

[Dovecot] How to stop mail_executable from cwd to ~home
by Gary Duncan 19 May '11

19 May '11

In our environment home directories are auto-mounted via /home/<user> including on the server provided mail. Within the various mail services though we try to isolate and override with local /mail/home/<user> Works well except that dovecot still wants to cd to the real home triggering a useless and potentially hindering automount when it invokes the imap or pop3 process specified by mail_executable, ie an lsof of the process shows cwd of /home/<user> and the automounted home. It does this even though home is properly overridden within. I suspect this is part of changing to invoke as the user as the *-login process are ok but then they are still running as dovecot. Various recent attempts to explicitly respecify HOME for mail_executable via a wrapper script or using env have been to no avail (as seen below). How can I resolve? And no I don't just want to override /home at the system level.

[Dovecot] v2.0.13 released
by Timo Sirainen 19 May '11

19 May '11

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/dovecot-2.0.13.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/dovecot-2.0.13.tar.gz.sig I've almost managed to read my email backlog, but there are still some unanswered mails. Feel free to resend if you think I should have answered some of your mails. The most important changes since v2.0.12: + Added "doveadm index" command to add unindexed messages into index/cache. If full text search is enabled, it also adds unindexed messages to the fts database. + added "doveadm director dump" command. + pop3: Added support for showing messages in "POP3 order", which can be different from IMAP message order. This can be useful for migrations from other servers. Implemented it for Maildir as 'O' field in dovecot-uidlist. - doveconf: Fixed a wrong "subsection has ssl=yes" warning. - mdbox purge: Fixed wrong warning about corrupted extrefs. - sdbox: INBOX GUID changed when INBOX was autocreated, leading to trouble with dsync. - script-login binary wasn't actually dropping privileges to the user/group/chroot specified by its service settings. - Fixed potential crashes and other problems when parsing header names that contained NUL characters.

[Dovecot] integrating procmail
by errno 19 May '11

19 May '11

Hello, list members! I'm new to dovecot, and haven't needed to maintain an email server instance for quite some time. I recently got a fairly simple postfix + dovecot installation functional as needed, however I now need to get procmail filtering incoming mail, and after reading various docs and wikis, I find that I'm still having a tough time feeling confident on how best to approach it in the simplest manner. (this is for a small installation.... 10 email accounts, max). Below, I've provide the relevant snippets of my current functional configuration; how best to integrate procmail into the mix? /etc/postfix/main.cf: ... alias_maps = hash:/etc/mail/aliases local_recipient_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/vmailbox, $alias_maps virtual_transport = dovecot virtual_mailbox_domains = $mydomain virtual_mailbox_base = /var/vmail/ virtual_mailbox_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/vmailbox virtual_minimum_uid = 500 virtual_uid_maps = static:501 virtual_gid_maps = static:501 ... /etc/postfix/master.cf: ... dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -f ${sender} - d ${recipient} ... /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf: ... mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir protocol lda { sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail } auth default { mechanisms = plain passdb passwd-file { args = /var/vmail/passwd } userdb static { args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/var/vmail/%d/%u } socket listen { master { path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode = 0600 user = vmail group = vmail } } } ... Thankyou for any tips, much appreciated!

[Dovecot] vacation problem with sieve and sogo
by Pablo Luchetti 18 May '11

18 May '11

Hi, I have a problem with dovecot's sieve and SOGo ( http://www.sogo.nu/ ) I have installed last version of sogo ( 1.3.6) in one virtual machine with ubuntu, lucid. In another virtualmachine with ubuntu jaunty is running dovecot ( 1:1.1.11-0ubuntu4.1 ) When try to activate vacation function, after the "PUTSCRIPT "sogo" command, the manage-sieve answer: NO "Script name 'sogo' is reserved for internal use." And fails. But I found, telneting the mail server on port 2000 that if I change script name, all works fine: SETACTIVE "" OK "No scripts currently active." PUTSCRIPT "prueba" {536+} require ["vacation"]; 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*" ) {vacation :days 1 :addresses ["pluchetti(a)example.org", "pablo.luchetti(a)example.org"] text: hoy es 27 de abril de 2011, y estoy probando el nuevo sogo. 10:40 . ; } redirect "pllis(a)educ.ar"; keep; OK "Putscript completed." SETACTIVE "prueba" OK "Setactive completed." logout OK "Logout completed." Connection closed by foreign host. So, the question is: Why does this happen? How can I fix it ? Any ideas? Here are dovecot's version and config: # dovecot --version 1.1.11 # dovecot -n # 1.1.11: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.28-18-server i686 Ubuntu 9.04 log_path: /var/log/mail/dovecot-msa.log log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: imap imaps pop3 pop3s ssl_cert_file: /etc/ssl/local/WILD.jil_01+CHAIN.crt ssl_key_file: /etc/ssl/private/WILD.jil_01.key 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 login_greeting: JIL mail server ready. first_valid_uid: 106 last_valid_uid: 106 first_valid_gid: 112 last_valid_gid: 112 mail_privileged_group: mail mail_uid: vmail mail_gid: vmail mail_location: maildir:~ mail_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/pop3 auth default: mechanisms: plain login user: vmailauth passdb: driver: ldap args: /etc/dovecot/ldap-auth-userdb.conf userdb: driver: ldap args: /etc/dovecot/ldap-auth-userdb.conf socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth-client mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 user: vmail group: vmail plugin: sieve: ~/sieve/s0g0.sieve Thanks!!

[Dovecot] IMAP message ID bad for very old message
by a.smith＠ukgrid.net 17 May '11

17 May '11

Hi, I just noticed that the ordering by message ID when accessing my email via IMAP is messed up. I'm looking in the INBOX that contains 11757 emails. For some reason a load of emails from 2009 and 2010 are being listed near the top, for example I have a message with ID 11441 from 2009 where it definitely shouldn't be, its all mixed in with emails from 2011 there. Info from LDAP is: * 11441 FETCH (FLAGS (\Answered \Seen) INTERNALDATE "27-Mar-2009 09:14:10 +0000" RFC822.SIZE 5772 ENVELOPE ("Fri, 27 Mar 2009 09:15:09 -0000" "MyC IP on CBL" (("Patrick XXXXXXXX- XXXXXXXX" NIL "patrick" "XXXXXXXX.co.uk")) (("Patrick XXXXXX- XXXXXXXX" NIL "patrick" "XXXXXXX.co.uk")) (("Patrick xxxxxx - xxxxxxx" NIL "patrick" "XXXXXXXX.co.uk")) (("Andy Smith" NIL "a.smith" "ukgrid.net")) (("Frank XXXXXXX" NIL "frank" "XXXXXXXXXXX.co.uk")(NIL NIL "Tim.XXXXXXXX" "XXXXXX.org")) NIL NIL "<6937D025FA924E73B8C839858C27AEBF@PatrickDesktop>")) I'm using maildir format, and the actual file date looks fine too: -rw-rw---- 1 vmail vmail 5627 Mar 27 2009 1238145250.H86871P67126.mx1.ukgrid.net:2,RS I am testing IMAP via telnet (originally noticed the problem viewing mail via HORDE/IMP). My system is FreeBSD 8.2, Dovecot 2.0.11. What might cause this behaviour? thanks Andy.

[Dovecot] Permission lookup failed with imap
by Alex 17 May '11

17 May '11

Hi all, I'm still trying to troubleshoot my problem with dovecot-2.0.11 and creating "mail/mail" directories for a reason unknown to me, so I enabled mail_debug. It's now printing this: May 15 21:39:33 mail dovecot: imap(gdadmin): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions from /home/gdadmin/mail: mode=0755 gid=-1 May 15 21:39:33 mail dovecot: imap(gdadmin): Debug: Namespace : Permission lookup failed from /home/gdadmin/mail/mail/INBOX. Trash That file (INBOX.Trash) does exist at that location and is readable. It prints that line three times for each of INBOX.Sent, INBOX.Trash, and INBOX.Drafts. Also notice that it is creating /home/user/mail/mail. My mail_location is set to "mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u", so I'm really confused. I really hope someone has some ideas! Thanks so much, Best, Alex

[Dovecot] when the user has no home directory
by Dave Yost 16 May '11

16 May '11

A user on our server for some reason didn't have a home directory. As a result, the pop3 server was complaining. Apple's Mail app reported that the server said: The attempt to send data to the server "(null)" failed. It would be nice if the server would say something to the effect that the connection failed because the user account has no home directory. Thanks

[Dovecot] user_query and mail_plugins in database
by Ralf Zimmermann 16 May '11

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, I have a problem with mail_plugins in dovecot-2.0.x. I will use mail_plugins within a database, so that I can define plugins for users in the database. But I get errors like this. - -----------------------------%<------------------------------------ lmtp(3933): Error: Can't load plugin imap_quota_plugin: Plugin is intended to be used only by imap binary (we're lmtp) - -----------------------------%<------------------------------------- Here my options from the configuration: - -----------------------------%<------------------------------------- mail_plugins = " acl quota" protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = " acl quota sieve" } protocol lda { mail_plugins = " acl quota sieve" } protocol imap { mail_plugins = " acl quota imap_quota imap_acl autocreate" } - -----------------------------%<-------------------------------------- Every protocol uses own mail_plugin definitions. So I create the following user_query: user_query = SELECT LOWER(login) AS user,home,mail,5000 AS uid,5000 AS gid,CONCAT('*:storage=',quota_mb,'MB') AS quota_rule,acl_groups,case when '%s'='lda' then 'acl quota sieve' when '%s'='lmtp' then 'acl quota sieve' when '%s'='doveadm' then 'acl quota' when '%s'='sieve' then 'acl quota' else mail_plugins end as mail_plugins FROM virtual_users WHERE ( login='%u' OR email='%u' ) AND enabled IS true; Now the configuration works.

[Dovecot] dovecot authentication failing
by David Mehler 16 May '11

Hello, I'm running dovecot 2.0.x on a centos 5.6 machine. This is a new installation, I haven't even opened the firewall to it yet. I was trying to telnet localhost 143 and 110 trying to authenticate a user. I'm getting authentication failure in my maillog but no details. Here's the one line I get in my maillog: May 14 15:33:42 ohio dovecot: pop3-login: Aborted login (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=<user(a)example.com>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured Here's a doveconf -n: # 2.0.12: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.38.3-linode32 i686 CentOS release 5.6 (Final) ext3 auth_default_realm = domain.com auth_mechanisms = plain login base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/ disable_plaintext_auth = no listen = * mail_location = maildir:/var/spool/mail/vhosts/%d/%u maildir_very_dirty_syncs = yes mbox_write_locks = fcntl passdb { args = scheme=CRYPT username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/users driver = passwd-file } protocols = imap pop3 service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix user = postfix } } ssl_cert = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem Here's how I constructed my users file: # # Passwd-file for use with dovecot authentication # Used in a virtual setup # Username:{scheme}HashedPassword:UID:GID:: user:{SSHA512}hbLu+pCmhmtyKEwyAs3wv3kvHD/ryr0MoXOAq3VdB7X/g8qIE/xE9BG+eI4jhFk9pTyiCltPCjZxv5/+yK1wll2LNcw= :5000:5000:: My goal is to use this with a postfix virtual mailbox setup, the postfix part is already in place.

The Uid and Gid 5000 is the same one the postfix vmail user is running as that's the user who handles the virtual mailbox domains. I'm suspecting my issue is in my users file or the definition of it in passwd-file{ i've been over the wiki for 2.0.x dovecot, this was definitely worth the upgrade by the way, and thus far have not found an answer. I'd appreciate any help. Thanks. Dave.

[Dovecot] Dovecot mail_location creating duplicate mbox mail directories
by Alex 16 May '11

16 May '11

Hi all, I'm using dovecot v2.0.11 on fedora14 with postfix. This system was migrated from an old UW mbox system, so users already have ~/mail/INBOX.* files. Now for some reason, dovecot is creating ~/mail/mail/INBOX.* files and somehow not seeing the mail_location properly. I've set mail_location to "mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u", which has worked on a similar system I migrated, but I can't understand why it would try and create a "mail" subdiretory under the ~/mail directory. Even if I set mail_location to just mbox:~ instead, it doesn't create the .subscriptions file properly, and still creates them with "mail/INBOX.Trash" for example. Below is my doveconf. Any ideas greatly appreciated. Is there a way to have doveconf only print those values that differ from the defaults? # 2.0.11: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.35.13-91.fc14.x86_64 x86_64 Fedora release 14 (Laughlin)

[Dovecot] Expunge deleted messages older than X days for all users ?
by Bar Ziony 15 May '11

15 May '11

Hi, I'm currently migrating to Dovecot-based IMAP server for a ~200 users environment. Clients are Outlook 2003/2007, Thunderbird 3.x and various mobile clients. 1) What I want to accomplish is to allow the users to delete a message (then the message is moved to "Trash"), then when they empty/delete that message from Trash, it will be kept somewhere on the server for X days, and the user could recover that message in some way. Is that at all possible with Dovecot? 2) Also, how can I automatically expunge the emails that the user deleted from their deleted items folder ? What if users don't EXPUNGE by themselves ? What do you do in that case? Thanks, Bar.

14 May '11

I recently created Dovecot Solutions Oy (Ltd) company with two other guys. We sell Dovecot support, development, etc. I was planning on announcing this only after we get an actual web site, but since I already told about it in Linuxtag today, I might as well tell everyone. The upcoming web site should have some more details, but if you already know you want to buy something, let me know. :)

[Dovecot] dovecot proxy with nopassword and postfix sasl
by Franco Rizzo 13 May '11

13 May '11

HI All I have setup a dovecot proxy with remote auth, value nopassword in the passdb to make the auth remotely. With pop3 and imap the authentication is made on the remote server and this work perfectly. I have tested with wrong and correct password. Then I have added the postfix sasl and this also works fine, the request is made to dovecot. My problem is that with this method I can give any password to postfix and mail is sent. In the debug it seams that a request is made to the remote server for auth. The smtp sasl auth is only refused when I put no password. Is it allowed to use postfix sasl auth with dovecot proxy auth on remote server ? Thank you Franco Rizzo

[Dovecot] Different pass_dbs and auth_mechanisms on different ports

[Dovecot] Running 1.x and 2. x on same machine
by email builder 11 May '11

11 May '11

Hello, When building from source, is it possible to use "make install" to switch between version 1.x and 2.x on the same machine (just for testing)? Do both versions install the same binaries? Is configuration from 2.x backward compatible with 1.x? (so we can have the newest configuration files on our system without bothering to have a second set of 1.x config files) Or instead should we be changing something like the installation and config directorie for one of the versions when we install it (how?). Thanks for advice!!!!

[Dovecot] Sieve & auto_create mail_home

[Dovecot] Problem with sieve after upgrade to 2.0
by Tom Wright 11 May '11

11 May '11

Hi, I've just upgraded from 1.2 to 2.0.12 via debian sid packages. I think I've moved all my config over to the new directory-based structure and most things are working, but the subaddress extension in sieve doesn't seem to do anything anymore. It doesn't report an error, but any rules which use it are just ignored. Other sieve rules which don't use subaddress seem to work ok. Here's my config: # 2.0.12: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.38-2-amd64 x86_64 Debian wheezy/sid lda_mailbox_autocreate = yes lda_mailbox_autosubscribe = yes 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 = scheme=cram-md5 /etc/dovecot/passwd.dovecot driver = passwd-file } plugin { recipient_delimiter = - sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/.sieve } postmaster_address = postmaster(a)tomonica.net protocols = " imap sieve" recipient_delimiter = - service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 0 } } ssl_cert = </etc/apache2/ssl/secure.tomonica.net.certchain.pem ssl_cipher_list = HIGH ssl_key = </etc/apache2/ssl/secure.tomonica.net.keyonly.pem userdb { driver = passwd } protocol lda { mail_plugins = " sieve" } Here's the script which doesn't do anything: require ["fileinto", "envelope", "subaddress"]; if envelope :detail "to" "test" { fileinto "Admin"; } I've been sending test emails to tom - test @ tomonica . net (without the spaces, only put them here for antispam) Any wrong with my config, or any other ideas? It all worked before upgrading to 2.0 Thanks, Tom

[Dovecot] Error messages in log
by Peter Bell 11 May '11

11 May '11

Hi, I would like to eliminate some of the error messages which appear in my dovecot logfile. I already understand that the message: doveconf: Warning: SSL is disabled because global ssl=no, ignoring ssl=yes for subsection is fixed in the current development code. However, I also get a lot of: lda(peter): Error: User peter doesn't have home dir set, disabling duplicate database Is there a way to eliminate/supress these messages? I'm operating with virtual users, so checking for a home directory doesn't make a lot of sense. Is there a setting in the .conf file which can control this? Possibly more concerning is this message: May 10 23:31:23 imap(peter): Error: link(/mnt/user/Maildir/peter/dovecot.index.log, /mnt/user/Maildir/peter/dovecot.index.log.2) failed: Function not implemented I'm not sure exactly what I was doing at the time - probably experimenting with Sieve filters. Has this compromised my maildir? I have already disabled copy with hard links - is there another 'hardlink' setting available?
