[Dovecot] Dovecot+Postfix+Mysql+quotas doesn't work

Hi ! I'm using postfix with mysql, dovecot and squirrelmail for WEBMAIL In my dovecot.conf I've: plugin { quota = maildir:User quota quota2 = maildir:Shared quota:ns=Public/ quota_rule = *:storage=400M quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=100M quota_exceeded_message = Quota excedida. Por favor, exclua alguns emails! quota_warning = storage=95%% /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh 95 quota_warning2 = storage=80%% /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh 80 } In my webmail, he informs me that I'm using the percentage of quota. But I can't make the TRASH folder is ignored. That is, I can't put a higher limit on it than the others. Am I doing something wrong? Another thing. I'm not receiving message of quota exceeded.

[Dovecot] lazy_expunge, 2 questions
by Hajo Locke 01 Mar '11

01 Mar '11

Hello List, do some tests with lazy_expunge i have 2 short questions. is it possible to set folder for expunged messages to read-only so no user is possible to really delete them? i can use mdbox for expunged-folder. but would'nt it be more functional to use maildir to have possibility to delete separate mails? when using mdbox the clean up by cron would effect always multiple messages with different ages? Thanks, Hajo

[Dovecot] 1.0.15 -> 2.x upgrade for mass hosting environment
by lists＠truthisfreedom.org.uk 01 Mar '11

01 Mar '11

Hi all, We're looking at upgrading our current mail platform from 1.0.15 to 2.x to take advantage of the new director functionality. Our main concern is the number of mailboxes involved (circa. 300K) and the rebuilding of the index files, especially as it seems that once you've upgraded, rolling back requires the deletion and recreation of all indices. Has anyone worked on an upgrade like this in the past? If so, do you have any war stories you can share either on or off list? Thanks in advance, Matt

I am wanting to use a service which has to have a copy of the emails but they still need to be delivered to the users inbox. Which script and where does it need to be placed for this to work? I am not sure which version sls runs dovecot but I know that it also uses spamassasin. If anyone can help that would be great.

[Dovecot] Smart IMAP proxying with imapc storage
by Timo Sirainen 28 Feb '11

28 Feb '11

I just committed a very early initial implementation of "imapc" storage backend to v2.1 hg: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.1 You can't really do anything except open INBOX and read mails from it, so it's currently only intended for initial testing. It sucks in many ways right now, but I'll be improving it. The idea is that you could set for example: mail_location = imapc:imap.gmail.com And then Dovecot could act as a proxy to gmail. It won't actually work currently with gmail, because there's no SSL support for outgoing connections. Currently index files are forcibly disabled, but it would be easy to enable them, allowing Dovecot to do caching locally to improve performance. In future perhaps it will also support caching message headers/bodies to avoid unnecessary traffic. Besides the mail_location setting, you'll need to also forward the user's password to imap process in "pass" userdb extra field. How to do that depends on what passdb/userdb you're using. While testing you could simply set a static password: plugin { pass = yourpassword }

[Dovecot] Problems setting up shared/public imap folders
by Andre Tann 28 Feb '11

Hello everyone, today I have tried to set up shared and public IMAP folders, but it didn't work. # rpm -qa | grep dovecot dovecot12-backend-mysql-1.2.11-3.3.1.x86_64 dovecot12-backend-sqlite-1.2.11-3.3.1.x86_64 dovecot12-1.2.11-3.3.1.x86_64 dovecot12-backend-pgsql-1.2.11-3.3.1.x86_64 Here is my dovecot.conf [1]. Can anyone explain what is wrong with my configuration? It is not possible to access the shared and public mailboxes. Thunderbird and KMail don't show the shared/public namespace at all. Outlook Express shows these namespaces, but trying to access leads to a "mailbox doesn't exist" error message. Dovecot is not logging any errors. What's wrong? Thanks, Andre [1] # cat /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf protocols = imap imaps protocol imap { mail_plugins = acl imap_acl } listen = * disable_plaintext_auth = no ssl = no login_greeting = alphatest mailservice ready. mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir namespace private { separator = / prefix = inbox = yes } namespace shared { separator = / prefix = shared/ location = maildir:%%h/Maildir:INDEX=~/Maildir/shared/%%u subscriptions = no } namespace public { separator = / prefix = pub/ location = maildir:/srv/mail/pub subscriptions = no } mail_uid = 1002 mail_gid = 1000 protocol imap { mail_plugin_dir = /usr/lib64/dovecot/modules/imap } protocol pop3 { mail_plugin_dir = /usr/lib64/dovecot/modules/pop3 } protocol managesieve { } protocol lda { mail_plugin_dir = /usr/lib64/dovecot/modules/lda mail_plugins = acl } auth default { mechanisms = plain passdb pam { } userdb passwd { } user = root } dict { } plugin { acl = vfile acl_shared_dict = file:/var/lib/dovecot/shared-mailboxes/%u acl_anyone = allow } -- Andre Tann

[Dovecot] shared folder
by Eric Broch 28 Feb '11

28 Feb '11

Hello list, I have dovecot-1.2.3 installed on my mail server. I created a shared directory which works fine, however, this shared directory has over 16GB of email and when users, 40 to 50 of them, login to their IMAP account and download of the contents of this shared folder begins on their machines it bogs down the server to a crawl. I had to comment out the share it was so bad. Is there a way to implement permissions on the shared folder and add 1 or 2 users at a time so as not to bog down the server. Eric Broch

[Dovecot] error - dovecot - child (login) killed with signal 16
by Chris Hoogendyk 28 Feb '11

28 Feb '11

We've been happily running Dovecot in Solaris 10 for about 8 months now. Yesterday, Solaris 10's SMF put it in maintenance mode (shut it down) seemingly out of the blue. The only thing going on was that I had updated the ssl certificate. We had previously been using a self signed cert. Now we have a cert from InCommon. We had a problem with a few users who are still on ancient Eudora and didn't have the proper authority chains. We had a problem with a few Thunderbird users who hadn't set up the fully qualified server name in their configuration. The shutdown was coincident (and could be just a coincidence) to the minute with my boss working with a Windows Thunderbird user to change their configuration. I can't figure out how this happened or why. I don't see how to track it any further than what I have here, and it doesn't make sense that a user issue or process could cause this. The IP, by the way, is our NAT. So no way of telling much from that. From /var/adm/dovecot.log: Feb 24 15:52:57 marlin dovecot: [ID 583609 local2.error] dovecot: child 21233 (login) killed with signal 16 (ip=128.119.55.8) Feb 24 15:52:58 marlin dovecot: [ID 583609 local2.warning] dovecot: Killed with signal 15 (by pid=26750 uid=0 code=kill) Note that the first line is logged as an error. These items from the SMF service log for dovecot: [ Feb 24 15:52:58 Stopping because process received fatal signal from outside the service. ] [ Feb 24 15:52:58 Executing stop method ("/etc/mail/svc/method/dovecot.init.d stop") ] Stopping Dovecot are the source of the signal 15 in the second line of the dovecot log above. So, the presumption is that the signal 16 precipitated SMF to put the service in maintenance mode which lead to the signal 15. Any ideas what went wrong here? How to track it down? How to prevent it from happening again? Doing `svcadm clear dovecot` cleared the maintenance mode and started it up again.

[Dovecot] How do I use a username/password plain text file as authentication backend?
by Angus 26 Feb '11

26 Feb '11

I only have a single user (with multiple mail addresses) and I don't want to expose local users (no pam or /etc/passwd). Using a SQL database seems like overkill to me. So why not just a plain text file? Well, I've read http://wiki2.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase/Static and related wiki pages, but I just can't find a clear answer. I certainly don't want to allow "any user" or "any password". Dovecot 2.0.9. Any hints for me?

[Dovecot] LDAP and GSSAPI problems

This is a continuation of a problem I have been having. Samba 4 has recently changed to require binds. I need LDAP to verify users exist. I am using Kerberos (GSSAPI) as the passdb. Samba can handle GSSAPI/Kerberos SASL binds. I have the following in my dovecot-ldap setup for userdb: dn = smtp/mailhost.example.org(a)EXAMPLE.ORG sasl_bind = yes sasl_mech = GSSAPI sasl_realm = EXAMPLE.ORG sasl_authz_id = smtp/mailhost.example.org(a)EXAMPLE.ORG Which gives me the following error.

Minor code may provide more information (Credentials cache file '/tmp/krb5cc_97' not found) Additionally, I have "auth_krb5_keytab = /etc/dovecot/krb5.keytab" setup for the GSSAPI user login. The credential cache should be that file should it not? If not, how do I go about setting that up so that it will work.

[Dovecot] Sendmail and Dovecot deliver (dovecot-lda)

24 Feb '11

Hi, I have a Centos 5 system with sendmail running as my MTA. Normally I note from sendmail logs that mails get delivered using the 'local' mailer. I have therefore entered the following into my sendmail.mc file, from an earlier post on this list: define(`LOCAL_MAILER_PATH',`/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver') define(`LOCAL_MAILER_FLAGS',`DFMPhfnu9') define(`LOCAL_MAILER_ARGS',`deliver -d $u') However, when sendmail tries to use deliver I just get this message: Feb 13 15:37:23 gate sendmail[1399]: p1DEWtc2021995: to=<user(a)example.org>, delay=00:04:28, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=local, pri=121665, dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: local mailer (/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver) exited with EX_TEMPFAIL I've tried to get better logging by putting the following in 15-lda.conf in /etc/dovecot/conf.d: protocol lda { postmaster_address = postmaster(a)example.org auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mail_plugins = sieve mail_location = maildir:~/.maildir log_path = /var/log/dovecot-deliver.log info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-deliver.log } I find nothing gets written to the log file, even if I make it a world writable file.

[Dovecot] Running dovecot on embedded device?
by Jef Driesen 24 Feb '11

24 Feb '11

Hi, I'm considering buying a QNAP TS-212 NAS and I wonder if this device is powerful enough to run dovecot too (there is a pre-built dovecot package available from QNAP)? The main goal would be that my mail is stored centralized on the NAS, where I can access it from multiple systems without ending up with mail scattered over each system (which is exactly what is happening now due to the fact that my isp offers only POP3). There will only be a few users (e.g. family members), and incomming mail will be fetched from the isp mailbox. The specs of the QNAP TS-212 are: * ARM Marvell Kirkwood 1.2GHz CPU * 256MB DDRII RAM Is this sufficient to run dovecot, and will the performance be acceptable? I'm not expecting something lightning fast, but something that is acceptable. Jef

[Dovecot] Quotas from LDAP

Hi all! I have been reading http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Quota/Configuration over and over for the last two days, but something totally escapes my brain right now: How does user_attrs = homeDirectory=home,quotaBytes=quota_rule=*:bytes=%$ get the quota from LDAP into dovecot? What are the LDAP attributes used and what does %$ mean? It is not in the variable list at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Variables I am feeling very stupid and dense right now, as I am absolutely sure I am missing something very obvious and totally simple.

I have followed the instructions about bug reports /generating cores located at http://dovecot.org/bugreport.html .

[Dovecot] Rejected mails

I'm getting closer, now with SMTP permitted to whole of Internet to connect to my SMTP/postfix server & for my postfix server to connect out to public Internet on tcp 25 as well. I send emails from permitted domain's SMTP servers with "Receipt Acknowledgemt" & the ack returned said it was delivered but somehow there's no mail in the mailbox & using the site below to test, it gave Rejected : http://legacy.zoneedit.com/whois.html OK, connected to gate1.mds.com.sg... < 220 gate1.mds.com.sg ESMTP > HELO edit.dnsvr.com < 250 gate1.mds.com.sg > MAIL FROM:<sender_id(a)mds.com.sg> < 250 sender <sender_id(a)mds.com.sg> ok > RCPT TO:<recipient_id(a)myportaltech.com> < 550 #5.1.0 Address rejected.

Hello. We would like to share mails without copying the data to another mailbox. The problem is that we use exim4 for delivery and maildir++ format. Would it be feasible to create a symlink or hardlink using the COPY or COPYlike (extension) command? Regards. Erny Ernesto Revilla Yaco Sistemas +34 954 500 057

Mistakingly, I used /%d/%u/ for mail_location, but /%d/%n userdb: mail_location: maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%u/ userdb: driver: static args: uid=5000 gid=5000 home=/var/vmail/%d/%n allow_all_users=yes As a result I have maildirs being created for both (e.g): /var/vmail/bigdomain.com/dirk(a)bigdomain.com /var/vmail/bigdomain.com/dirk The actual email is placed in /var/vmail/bigdomain.com/dirk(a)bigdomain.com, which I am happy with. I would liek to tidy up the configuration so that these extra maildirs are not created, without breaking everything. Would someone recommend what the best steps are? (other than reinstalling and starting from scratch - Its in production).

[Dovecot] need help with public namespaces
by Pierfrancesco Caci 22 Feb '11

22 Feb '11

Hello, I need some guidance with setting up a public namespace with per-user \Seen flags. What I want to do is that a group of users access the public namespaces and if user A reads a message, user B should still see it as new until he reads it himself. This is not happening now, and I can't figure out why. Here's the config: # 1.2.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-28-server x86_64 Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS ext3 log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: imap imaps managesieve listen(default): *

[Dovecot] imap-login ESTABLISHED client sessions not timed out by server
by J4K 22 Feb '11

22 Feb '11

Good morning everyone, I noticed some mobile client connections that I know should have timed out at least 20 mins ago, yet these are still there. The device in question lost its 3G connection and never re-established it. I know, because in this case it was my 'phone ;) Why should the imap-login keep the copnnection in in EST, when it was dropped ages ago. I imagine that the mobile client did not correctly close down the session, but it should have timed out on the server. Any ideas? Has anyone noticed this afore? imap-logi 7819 dovecot 10u IPv4 24069447 0t0 TCP logout.klunky.co.uk:imaps->m83-178-105-240.cust.tele2.nl:39042 (ESTABLISHED) imap-logi 7820 dovecot 10u IPv4 24069443 0t0 TCP logout.klunky.co.uk:imaps->m83-178-105-240.cust.tele2.nl:52696 (ESTABLISHED) imap-logi 7821 dovecot 10u IPv4 24069536 0t0 TCP logout.klunky.co.uk:imaps->m83-178-105-240.cust.tele2.nl:55341 (ESTABLISHED) imap-logi 7822 dovecot 10u IPv4 24069464 0t0 TCP logout.klunky.co.uk:imaps->m83-178-105-240.cust.tele2.nl:44647 (ESTABLISHED) Linux fred 2.6.32-cgmemcap-smack #1 SMP Tue Dec 28 14:28:18 CET 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux Debian Squeeze.

[Dovecot] Problem with ldap / quotas
by Nikolaos Milas 22 Feb '11

22 Feb '11

Hi, I am trying to enable per user quotas, but I get the following error: Feb 18 23:59:20 vmail dovecot: auth(default): ldap(tester,10.10.100.150): ldap_search((uid=tester)) failed: No such object It seems as if ldapsearch for username/password won't work with my new settings, but I can't find why. I run Dovecot v1.2.11 on CentOS 5.5. I changed my working dovecot.conf (see later) with the following changes (I used the roomNumber attribute to store the quota value): 1. Added in main part: mail_uid = 500 mail_gid = 500 2. Changed userdb with: userdb ldap { args = /etc/dovecot-usrdb-ldap.conf } and /etc/dovecot-usrdb-ldap.conf is: hosts = localhost tls = no base = ou=people, dc=example, dc=com scope = subtree ldap_version = 3 auth_bind = yes user_filter = (uid=%u) pass_filter = (uid=%u) pass_attrs = uid=user,userPassword=password auth_bind_userdn = uid=%u,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com user_attrs = roomNumber=quota_rule=*:bytes=%$,uid=home=/home/vmail/%u 3. Changed passdb with passdb ldap { args = /etc/dovecot-passdb-ldap.conf } where /etc/dovecot-passdb-ldap.conf is identical to dovecot-usrdb-ldap.conf. What am I doing wrong? Please advise. Thanks in advance, Nick My working dovecot.conf is: protocols = imap imaps pop3 pop3s disable_plaintext_auth = no syslog_facility = local1 ssl = yes ssl_cert_file = /etc/pki/CA/certs/cert-180.pem ssl_key_file = /etc/pki/CA/private/key.pem ssl_ca_file = /etc/pki/CA/certs/cert-180.pem ssl_verify_client_cert = no verbose_ssl = no login_process_size = 64 mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir/ mail_debug = no protocol imap { mail_plugins = quota imap_quota imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail outlook-idle netscape-eoh } protocol pop3 { pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv mail_max_userip_connections = 3 mail_plugins = quota pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh } protocol managesieve { } protocol lda { postmaster_address = postmaster(a)example.com mail_plugins = quota } auth_username_chars = abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ01234567890.-_@ auth_username_format = %Lu auth_verbose = yes auth_debug = no auth default { mechanisms = plain login passdb ldap { args = /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf } userdb static { args = uid=500 gid=500 home=/home/vmail/%u } user = root socket listen { client { path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode = 0660 user = postfix group = postfix } } } dict { } plugin { quota = maildir:User quota # Quota limit is 4GB quota_rule = *:storage=4G # We add 100Mb more for Trash quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=100M # We set up warnings at 75% and 90% quota_warning = storage=75%% /opt/mail.sh 75 %u quota_warning2 = storage=90%% /opt/mail.sh 90 %u } and dovecot-ldap.conf is: hosts = localhost tls = no base = ou=people, dc=example, dc=com scope = subtree ldap_version = 3 auth_bind = yes pass_attrs = uid=user,userPassword=password auth_bind_userdn = uid=%u,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com pass_filter = (uid=%u) Finally, for reference (dovecot -n): # 1.2.11: /etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.18-194.32.1.el5 x86_64 CentOS release 5.5 (Final) syslog_facility: local1 ssl_ca_file: /etc/pki/CA/certs/cert-180.pem ssl_cert_file: /etc/pki/CA/certs/cert-180.pem ssl_key_file: /etc/pki/CA/private/key.pem 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 mail_max_userip_connections(default): 10 mail_max_userip_connections(imap): 10 mail_max_userip_connections(pop3): 3 mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir/ mail_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugins(default): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(imap): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(pop3): quota mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib64/dovecot/pop3 imap_client_workarounds(default): delay-newmail outlook-idle netscape-eoh imap_client_workarounds(imap): delay-newmail outlook-idle netscape-eoh 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(a)example.com mail_plugins: quota auth default: mechanisms: plain login username_format: %Lu verbose: yes passdb: driver: ldap args: /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf userdb: driver: static args: uid=500 gid=500 home=/home/vmail/%u socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix plugin: quota: maildir:User quota quota_rule: *:storage=4G quota_rule2: Trash:storage=100M quota_warning: storage=75%% /opt/mail.sh 75 %u quota_warning2: storage=90%% /opt/mail.sh 90 %u

[Dovecot] Dovecot doesn't show any e-mails, while there are a lot in the maildir
by Attila Nagy 22 Feb '11

22 Feb '11

Hi, I've recently seen the following issue. A user logs in with pop3, and sees zero e-mails. The maildir contains emails both in cur and new. The mail delivery is done with qmail, and this user have had no logins before, so it has only the inbox, trash and sent (while dovecot is configured to create drafts and spam folders too). Because of this, the user doesn't have any dovecot indexes either. So, he logs in, and sees nothing. The strange thing is Dovecot doesn't create any of the above directories nor indexes. After moving the mailbox to another server, the user can log in, the additional folders get created and also the indexes appear. pop3 shows the correct amount of emails. Moving the mailbox back to the original server shows the same issue: no emails at all. Restarting dovecot on the original server resolves the issue. This is a pretty loaded machine, so I couldn't trace the processes. I know that this isn't too much, but that's what I have.

[Dovecot] [PATCH] Add Install section to dovecot.service, so it can be used independently from dovecot.socket
by Mike Kazantsev 22 Feb '11

22 Feb '11

Good day, Dovecot includes nice unit files for systemd, but I've noticed that "systemctl enable dovecot.service" fails because service file does not include Install section. I assume that is because there's a .socket file, but there might be reasons when you want to enable it as a service. In my case it's one of the main services on the machine, so I'd like to see whether it's started correctly in systemctl after boot. And of course I don't want it to be killed due to "no connections timeout" at any given time. Plus, it provides authentication info for postfix daemon running on the same machine, and dovecot.socket does not handle this case. Following patch allows dovecot.service to be enabled via usual systemctl command.

[Dovecot] dovecot permission problems
by Calvin23 22 Feb '11

22 Feb '11

Hello, I'm trying to make a dovecot installation run on my freeBSD 8.1 server, since quite a long time now, and I can't figure out how to solve my last problem. I did quite a lot of searching and many people seem to have the same problem, but I didn't manage to make any solution work on my host. So I would be glad for every hint :-) I'm using postfix with dovecot. Everything works just as expected, except one little permission problem. When dovecot tries to deliver a mail to my homedir everything is working out. I use fdm to connect to my server to download the mails, and here is where things stop to work: Here some logs: http://pastie.org/1579465 Here my dovecot -n output: http://pastie.org/1579489 I really tried a huge amount of different things, redesigned my whole configuration file from scratch etc. Does anybody has an idea how I could fix this little last problem I have here? If you need more information, please don't hesitate to ask, I wasn't sure what I should provide and didn't want to spam too much ;) With best regards, Calvin23 -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/dovecot-permission-problems-tp30960767p30960767.html Sent from the Dovecot mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Dovecot] Rewrite the mailbox copy functions works in imap but don't work in doveadm import command
by Alex Baule 22 Feb '11

22 Feb '11

Hi Timo !! I rewrite the copy function from mailbox (using a plugin) My rewrite is like this: static int emexis_antispam_copy(struct mail_save_context *ctx, struct mail *mail){ struct mailbox *box = ctx->transaction->box; union mailbox_module_context *zbox = EMEXIS_CONTEXT(box); struct mail_private *_mail = (struct mail_private *)mail; union mail_module_context *zmail = EMEXIS_MAIL_CONTEXT(_mail); struct istream *input; const char *headerFile; char *bodyFile; int fd; int increment; ......Do some stuffs and verifications OK.... // GETTING THE FILE TO READ SOME STUFF FROM HEADER. if (zmail->super.get_stream(mail, NULL, NULL, &input) >= 0){ i_warning("GET STREAM COPY OK..."); }else{ i_warning("GET STREAM COPY NOT OK..."); } // REALLY COPY EMAIL copyret = zbox->super.copy(ctx, mail); } OK, when i use the IMAP , using a client and copy a email, it's works fine. But, when i use a doveadm import command, the part "(zmail->super.get_stream(mail, NULL, NULL, &input) >= 0)" fails, with no error message, only a segfault.... doveadm[14980]: segfault at 9c ip b7698000 sp bf83d7d0 error 4 in libdovecot.so.0.0.0[b7663000+6d000] doveadm[14983]: segfault at 9c ip b7661000 sp bf9c9ee0 error 4 in libdovecot.so.0.0.0[b762c000+6d000] doveadm[14986]: segfault at 9c ip b75b3000 sp bfcd82e0 error 4 in libdovecot.so.0.0.0[b757e000+6d000] doveadm[14989]: segfault at 9c ip b7684000 sp bfa5d3c0 error 4 in libdovecot.so.0.0.0[b764f000+6d000] There is difference between imap using a client , and doveadm import command ? If have some difference, can i identify and do some workarround ? Tks Timo !!

Re: [Dovecot] Segmentation fault running doveadm import
by Maria Arrea 22 Feb '11

22 Feb '11

Some more info: I am running dovecot 2.0.9 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Another question I would like to ask: I run the command doveadm import as "entrega" user (see dovecot -n output in my previous mail ). If I run the command as root also segfaults, and garbage is restored (mails with binary data). If I run as "entrega" segfaults, but e-mails are correctly restored Regards Maria.

[Dovecot] Best way to migrate versions and machines
by Donny Brooks 21 Feb '11

21 Feb '11

We are looking to migrate from our current mail server running dovecot-1.2.11-3 to a new mail server running the latest dovecot (2.0.9?). So this would not only be a version change but also a machine change. We currently use Maildir for storing mail and would like to stay that way. Has anyone preformed such a feat and it worked? Looking for any input.

[Dovecot] Regenerating mdbox/sis
by dmiller＠amfes.com 21 Feb '11

21 Feb '11

It's apparent I have some level of corruption in my mailboxes - something to do with the combination of mdbox, sis, and zlib. I should note that I know I have a mix of compressed and raw messages - if that makes any difference in identifying the problems. I think I need to somehow regenerate the mailboxes with issues. Is there a suggestion for how to accomplish this? Should I perhaps use dsync to shift to a temporary mail location and then rename it back? If I DO use dsync in this manner, and I have zlib enabled - will this then compress all the messages in the new mail storage? -- Daniel

[Dovecot] IMAP flags not being committed properly?
by Janos Barbero 21 Feb '11

21 Feb '11

I'm afraid I can't give steps to reproduce this, but if someone's come across something like this, it might help me figure out what's going on. I run imapfilter/offlineimap to fetch mail from a gmail to a local maildir store, which I then access with alpine via dovecot (1.2.15). Here's the output of dovecot -n: # 1.2.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 i686 Debian squeeze/sid ext3 log_path: /var/log/dovecot.log info_log_path: /var/log/dovecot-info.log log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: maildir:/data/1/mail:LAYOUT=fs mbox_write_locks: fcntl dotlock mail_plugins: fts fts_squat auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd plugin: fts: squat Just recently, I went through a bunch of old unread messages, marking them as read (in alpine). When I selected all unseen messages in pine (;sn), 18 showed up. But the count was higher within Gmail even after an expunge and offlineimap sync. So I selected all seen messages (;s!n) and marked them all as seen (a*!n). This didn't take long (for a 30k message folder) but surprisingly enough came back with the notice that 15 messages were marked as seen, and sure enough, at the next offlineimap sync, flags were updated on 15 messages. So I didn't touch anything in gmail, everything went to the maildir through dovecot via alpine, and then back to gmail via offlineimap. Yet the select command obviously did not return all the matching messages. Anyone know what's going on? Thanks, Janos

[Dovecot] dsync problem: Error: Can't rename mailbox INBOX
by Jan Binder 20 Feb '11

Hi all, I'm running two debian machines with dovecot 2.0.9 autobuilds and would like to keep mails synchronized on both via dsync. Mails are kept in maildir on both sides.

[Dovecot] Maildir folders, separator = /, LAYOUT=fs (to support offlineimap)
by kkruzich 18 Feb '11

18 Feb '11

I use offlineimap to pull down some Gmail mail stores. With offlineimap I use sep = / and nothing more exotic. With dovecot I can see INBOX, messages, and messages in top level folders but not subfolders. I'm dealing with folder structure that looks like this: /opt/gmail/joe/Later /opt/gmail/joe/Tech/Projects /opt/gmail/joe/Tech/Projects/Fun /opt/gmail/joe/Tech/Projects/Failed /opt/gmail/joe/Tech/Projects/Planning The folder Later has cur, tmp, new and I can see messages. Projects is a container for subfolders Fun, Failed, Planning. I know Fun, Failed, Planning has messages but I'm not able to expand (via thunderbird) the folder Projects. I have this configured in dovecot.conf mail_location = maildir:/opt/gmail/joe:INBOX=/opt/gmail/joe/INBOX:LAYOUT=fs namespace private { separator = / list = yes } --- And this is what's getting logged... dovecot: Feb 18 07:26:39 Info: IMAP(joe): Namespace: type=private, prefix=, sep=/, inbox=no, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes dovecot: Feb 18 07:26:39 Info: IMAP(joe): maildir: data=/opt/gmail/joe:INBOX=/opt/gmail/joe/INBOX:LAYOUT=fs dovecot: Feb 18 07:26:39 Info: IMAP(joe): fs: root=/opt/gmail/joe, index=, control=, inbox=/opt/gmail/joe/INBOX

[Dovecot] Upgrading Dovecot v1.0.10 -> v2.0.9
by Jackie Hunt 17 Feb '11

17 Feb '11

Hi all, OK, I admit it. I've seriously neglected our Dovecot installation. I installed version 1.0.10 in Jan 2008, and it has been a great workhorse since then. It has run like a champ, so it was ignored due to higher priority projects. But now it is time to get current with Dovecot, and I really need your help. We are using the mbox mailbox format. First so I want to upgrade to 2.0.9, since it looks like that is the latest version? It looks like development is still happening on the 1.x line, so do I need to get to the 2.x line? Any comments/suggestions/recommendations on that? I know there are major changes from 1.x -> 2.x.. Also, do I need to go through incremental upgrades? I'm guessing changes have been made to the index files and the dovecot configuration. Do those need to be done in steps, or can I made a major leap forward? I'd appreciate any input on this project. I need to start planning. Thanks so much! Jackie

[Dovecot] Problem with messages with long lines
by ZMA - Emiliano Mariño 17 Feb '11

17 Feb '11

Hello dear mailing list readers, Recently I am experimenting a problem trying to retrieve messages over a POP3 protocol. Everything goes right until the POP3 client tries to retrieve a message that contains one or more long lines lines as long as 3000 characters or even more. The client (Outlook 2003 and 2007) stops on that message until timeout. I have opened a connection manually to see what happens, and when I issue the RETR command on one of these messages, dovecot informs the message size and then nothing else. No message sending. Any other message works fine; I get the message size and next the message itself. I have upgraded to version 2.0.1 but I still get the same behavior. No error is reported on the server side. Logs indicate that everything is just fine. Any advice on how to solve this would be very appreciated. Here is the dovecot 2.0.1 configuration: ############################################################################ ####### # 2.0.1: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.23.1-42.fc8 i686 Fedora release 8 (Werewolf) auth_username_chars = abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ01234567890.-_@& auth_verbose = yes disable_plaintext_auth = no listen = * login_greeting = Dovecot DA ready. mail_access_groups = mail mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir passdb { args = username_format=%n /etc/virtual/%d/passwd driver = passwd-file } passdb { driver = shadow } service auth { user = root } ssl_cert = </etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt ssl_cipher_list = ALL:!ADH:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:-LOW:-SSLv2:-EXP ssl_key = </etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key/server.key userdb { args = username_format=%n /etc/virtual/%d/passwd driver = passwd-file } userdb { driver = passwd } verbose_proctitle = yes protocol pop3 { pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv } ############################################################################ ####### Thanks a lot for your time Kind regards, cid:image001.png@01CB7784.62522490 Emiliano Mariño Technical Analyst Senior <mailto:%20mkt4@zma.com.ar> tech7(a)zma.com.ar Larrea 1011 piso 8º | C1117ABE | Ciudad A. de Buenos Aires - ARGENTINA Tel: (5411) 4825-1602 | Fax: (5411) 4825-7692 <http://www.zma.com.ar/> www.zma.com.ar

[Dovecot] Dovecot + Exim + Maildir quota problem
by Matteo Tinazzi 17 Feb '11

17 Feb '11

Hi all i'm a new user of this list, i got a server with DirectAdmin which has exim as MUA, dovecot as POP/IMAP server, recently i added the quota to exim and pointed the maildirsize file in the same location if the dovecot's one so both services can interact with it. This has been done to let exim update the quotas while doing localdelivery while dovecot can show quotas through roundcube and update them when users delete mails. The issue that i noticed is that some users get wrong quota informations... after a little investigation i think it could be a concurrent access to this file so dovecot tries to remove the deleted mails fomr maildirsize and exim tries to put new ones inside. In a specific case i got a user with a quota of 50M seeing that 75% of his quota filled while the real weight of the mail files is about 4% ... any help would be very appreciated

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.0.9/1.2.11: crash in driver-pgsql.c
by dovecot＠excellency.fr 17 Feb '11

17 Feb '11

Hello, I finally took time to isolate and reproduce a long time Dovecot crash that is bugging me since at least Dovecot 1.0.x. It's still there in Dovecot 2.0.9, which I just tested. Here is the backtrace from my logs: Feb 16 16:56:57 dovecot: auth: Error: pgsql: Query timed out, aborting Feb 16 17:25:16 dovecot: auth: Panic: file driver-pgsql.c: line 349 (result_finish): assertion failed: (db->io == NULL) Feb 16 17:25:16 dovecot: auth: Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0 [0x7fdbfe6d4272] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0 [0x7fdbfe6d42d6] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_error+0) [0x7fdbfe6d46c8] -> dovecot/auth [0x42f555] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handle_timeouts+0xdd) [0x7fdbfe6df9bd] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0x5e) [0x7fdbfe6e05be] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x28) [0x7fdbfe6df618] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(master_service_run+0x13) [0x7fdbfe6cd883] -> dovecot/auth(main+0x2d4) [0x419474] -> /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe6) [0x7fdbfc4f91a6] -> dovecot/auth [0x40da09] Feb 16 17:26:35 dovecot: master: Error: service(auth): child 140263 killed with signal 6 (core not dumped) Both my userdb and passdb use a PostgreSQL database. The bug happens when the PostgreSQL host suddenly becomes unavailable. I can easily reproduce it by launching Dovecot with my host being up, and then null routing its IP address (to simulate an outage): route add -host 10.0.0.2 reject (10.0.0.2 being the IP address of the PostgreSQL host.) >From that point, if I try to authenticate (using a POP3 connection, for instance), dovecot-auth will crash one or two minutes later.

[Dovecot] Cannot subscribe to shared folders
by Lukas Haase 17 Feb '11

17 Feb '11

Hi, I am unable to subscribe to shared folders with Thunderbird although everything seems to be correct (dovecot 1.2). What does not work? I click "Subscribe..." in Thunderbird. The shared mailboxes are listed, all with [ ] (no checkbox). Therefore I mark them [x], click "subscribe" and "OK". However, the folders do not appear in the folder tree. Furthermore, when I again click "Subscribe..." the folders do NOT have the mark [x] any more. This happens on different computers with *new* profiles. My configuration is the following (maybe that is the problem?!): namespace private { separator = . prefix =. inbox = no list = no hidden = yes location = maildir:~/Maildir-root subscriptions = yes } namespace private { separator = . prefix = INBOX. inbox = yes subscriptions = yes } namespace public { separator = . prefix = Shared. location = maildir:/var/mail/shared:INDEX=~/Maildir/shared:LAYOUT=fs subscriptions = no } The folder /var/mail/shared has appropriate permissions/form: * Owner: $user:mailuser (all users are member of "mailuser") * All files 0660, all folders 0770 * There exists a dovecot-shared in every folder * There exists a dovecot-acl in each folder where each user has the permissions "lrwstie" I switched on "mail_debug = yes" but no messages. However, the file ~/Maildir-root/subscriptions contains the subscribed folders: Shared.Group1 Shared.Group2 Shared.Group1/Test Furthermore, I switched on rawlog. Everything seems to be OK as well: .in-file: 2 subscribe "Shared.Group1" 3 lsub "" "INBOX.*" 5 lsub "" "Shared.*" 6 list "" "INBOX" .out-file: 2 OK Subscribe completed. [...] I am pretty sure it already worked. But it stopped working. Does anybody have a hint what could be the problem? Regards, Luke

[Dovecot] Some questions about mdbox
by Maria Arrea 16 Feb '11

16 Feb '11

Hello I am starting testing with dovecot 2.0.9. In my //etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf/ I have the following line: /mail_location = mdbox:/mydomain.org/%2.26Hn/%2.200Hn/%n:INDEX=/mydomain.org/indexes/%2.26Hn… These are my questions (a long mail): *1º How should I restore from backup with mdbox & separate indexes?* I have read in dovecot list archive about restoring the full user mailbox to a temp location and then run something like: /doveadm import mdbox:/tmp/restored_mailbox/ "" savedsince 2011-01-01 / In my schema indexes and mail stores are in separated paths. What (and where!) should I copy to the temp location and how do I restore it? *2º Disaster recovery: indexes & mail store mismatch* When creating backups, indexes and mail store are in different paths. My backup takes several hours, so indexes are copied BEFORE mail stores. Is the backup consistent? What would happens if I lose indexes? Can I still recover the messages? Reading the doc it seems I would lose all the message flags and all the messages would be in INBOX, is this right? *3º Performance tuning with mdbox* I have read in dovecot archive about using mdbox_rotate_size & mdbox_rotate_interval to balance between a lot of smaill files (like Maildir) or really big files (a "variant" of mbox). I have tested with a big vaule of mdbox_rotate_size (100 MB) and is a complete disaster for backup:if a user delete a message, then a nightly cronjob purges the mailbox (refcount=0) a new mdbox .m file is created!. So deleting a 1 k message from the mailbox of an user is a new 99 MB file to backup. Any hint about this? I am also using ext4 (rw,noatime,nodiratime,commit=15,data=writeback) and I have read about mdbox_preallocate_space. I will try it, any hint about this setup? This is not still in production, so I have no idea about IOPs and user concurrency, but I have several thousand users. *4º Compression with mdbox* I am reading about compression in mdbox (zlib/bzlib). I am starting with zlib, has anyone experience with bzlib? How much load is bzlib against zlib and how much delay adds to user experience (and space savings vs zlib???) ? *5º Recover a message with refcount=0* Is there any way to recover a message with refcount=0 without using a backup? I am thinking about the following plan: /1º a user gets her mail via pop3 (or delete a message via imap and empties trash) 2º the message is still stored in my mail server, but has refcount=0 3º nightly backup is performed 4º nightly cronjob purges the mailbox (deleting messaged with refcount=0)/ Using this schema the backup is bigger, but If I can recover files with refcount=0 from backup we can give our users a safeguard against accidentaly deleted pop3 mail. Thank you very much for your responsed and sorry for my (awful) english! Maria

[Dovecot] Auth processes/login processes count
by Thomas Hummel 16 Feb '11

16 Feb '11

Hello Timo, I'm running dovecot-1.2.12/Maildir/LDAP-passdb/LDAP-prefetched-userdb and I'm experiencing "random" latency (which even seem to make squirrelmail timeout sometimes) at login without noticing particular load on the server. LDAP backends are running fine as far as I know so I was investigating maybe mistuned limits : Dovecot is configured (for ~3000 users) with . each login processed in its own process : #login_process_per_connection = yes #login_max_connections = 256 . counts as : #login_processes_count = 3 login_max_processes_count = 1024 auth default { [...] count = 5 } I've got several questions : 1) how can I count more than login_max_processes_count processes ? # ps aux | egrep -i '(pop3|imap)-login' | wc -l # 1031 2) could be my auth process count the bottleneck ? is there a rule of thumb to deduce it from the login process count ? 3) on dovecot login/master/auth design, is my understanding correct ? - dovecot-1.2.x : . passdb and userdb lookup are done by the auth process, on behalf of either the login process which wants to know if the client's password is correct or of the master process which wants to check if it was actually correct and which wants to have the userdb info. . client connection fd is sent to the master which creates the mail process and transfers the fd to it. - dovecot-2.x : . client connection fd does not go through the master anymore but through a socket in the login/ directory . it's the mail process which ask the auth process for the userdb lookup 4) with LDAP backend using {CRYPT} passwords dans with plaintext auth enabled in dovecot, is the clear password crypted before comparing it to the LDAP crypted password or does dovecot try to simply bind to LDAP with the clear password ?

[Dovecot] test emails did not arrive at SMTP server : after dovecot installation
by sunhux G 16 Feb '11

16 Feb '11

Just set up postfix & it's running on my RHES 4.2 box. Immediately after postfix is up, I test sending emails from a permitted domain (ahhh, on this postfix server's domain firewall, we even have a firewall rule which permits Tcp25 from those few sending domains' SMTP servers) using an email client to sender_id@[IP_address_of_the_postfix_server] & the /var/log/maillog on the postfix server indicated the email arrives at the postfix server (with some errors though) : # grep recipient_id /var/log/maillog* maillog:Feb 15 11:41:52 hostname postfix/smtpd[6891]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from gate1.mds.com.sg[203.126.130.157]: 554 5.7.1 <recipient_id(a)[202.6.163.31]>: Relay access denied; from=<prvs=020cae8c4=recipient_id(a)mds.com.sg> to=<recipient_id(a)[202.6.163.31]> proto=ESMTP helo=<gate1.mds.com.sg> maillog:Feb 15 13:43:20 hostname sendmail[7688]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(recipient_id): can not chdir(/var/spool/mqueue/): Permission denied Then I installed dovecot rpm on my RHES box : uninstall it as it's an old version & reinstall with a newer version & start up dovecot as well. I did not test sending to sender_id@domain_name at that time because the domain I purchased from a domain provider/registrar has yet to be registered in our ISP's DNS. Subsequently I registered the following A, MX & NS records with our ISP : A: myportaltech.com. IN A 202.6.163.31 A: smtp.myportaltech.com. IN A 202.6.163.31 PTR: 31.163.6.202.in-addr.arpa. IN PTR smtp.myportaltech.com. MX: myportaltech.com. IN MX 10 smtp.myportaltech.com. NS: myportaltech.com. IN NS ns1.businessexprezz.com. NS: myportaltech.com. IN NS ns2.businessexprezz.com. The above myportaltech is just a fictitious name of my domain but I can provide the actual domain name if needed. After the above records have been propagated to all other DNSes, I test sending email from the same permitted domain, this time using domain name & the email never arrives & I did not receive a 'bounced mail' notification too. Then I test sending from the same domain to recipient_id(a)[202.6.163.31] & this time round, the test email never show up in /var/log/maillog* anymore. The network/security guys confirmed that the firewall logs did not show any denied SMTP records. So how do I go about troubleshooting this? Is this a DNS record entries issue, firewall/network issue, related to dovecot or something within my postfix server? Thanks Sun

[Dovecot] Dovecot can't start with error pop3-login & imap-login not supported protocol family

I've done the installation (rpm downloaded from the RHES4 link given by Oli below) but dovecot won't start, it gave the error pop3-login & imap-login not supported by protocol.

[Dovecot] [Off Topic] - Any backup solutions ?
by Spyros Tsiolis 16 Feb '11

16 Feb '11

Hello kind people, OK, I know this is not for this list; However, reading all these mails on the topic of filesystems, I thought that it's a good place to ask about backup software on linux. Here's what I have. It's an HP 230 Ultrium LTO 1 SCSI backup mechanism (tape streamer to be exact). I'm supposed to hook it up today with an adaptec AHA-2940 controller to a gigabyte mainboard running Ubuntu Server 10.04. Does anyone have a config close to this one ? What kind of software would you chaps recommend ? dd ? Bacula ?? Other ?? This mechanism is supposed to grab backups from the same machine running it (the tape streamer), which is an ubuntu server version 10.04 with three SATA disks and maybe some stuff remotely (through the local network that is), from a couple of windows 7 / windows xp machines. Also 100Gb on every tape is not going to be enough and it looks like I will have to swap tapes during the process. Thank you all for your time and patience, Best Regards, spyros ---- "I merely function as a channel that filters music through the chaos of noise" - Vangelis

[Dovecot] Recover a deleted message in MDBOX format ?
by Frank Bonnet 15 Feb '11

15 Feb '11

Hello Every night a backup of all mailboxes is performed to a NFS mounted partition All our mailboxes are now in MDBOX format. I wonder how it would be possible to recover one email accidentally deleted by a user ? It was easy in MBOX format to extract and save it using mutt ( as root ) from the backuped mbox then re-copy it to the user's mbox. Of course I should access to the backup mailboxes space using thunderbird but doing this I need to know every users's passwords, that is unacceptable. for security and privacy reasons. Let users access to the backup space is not possible of course. Is there a tool ? Thanks

[Dovecot] NoSQL Storage Backend
by Marten Lehmann 14 Feb '11

14 Feb '11

Hello, I found a posting on the mailing list from 2008 "Adding new storage backend to Dovecot" while searching for POP3 and IMAP servers, that allow to use a NoSQL backend rather than a traditional file system. The problem with traditional filesystems is, that they are very limited. You cannot easily extend it, even with RAID 10 all messages may be lost due to a RAID controller failure and just-in-time backups of a heavy loaded system with consistently changing messages folders are virtually impossible. Modern object stores like Scality, CouchDB or MongoDB can be very handy, as they easily allow to keep an arbitrary amount of copies of each message on different servers, you can simply add a storage node and new storage is immediately available and mailboxes aren't bound to a certain server any longer, but messages are evenly distributed across all storage nodes, thus distributing load as well. Since the original posting was dated 2008 I was in good hope, that someone worked on that already, but at least in dovecot-2.0.9/src/lib-storage I couldn't find anything relating to NoSQL message stores. Isn't this option of big interest for every bigger mailbox provider? How hard would it be to develop? Would it be possible to get this developed on a paid basis by the dovecot core team? Kind regards Marten

[Dovecot] SIS generating 2 different hashes for the same mail and attachment
by Nick Rosier 14 Feb '11

14 Feb '11

Hi, I've been testing SIS over the weekend as it seems to be a nifty feature. I don't have that many users and mailboxes but still... I only added the following line to my configuration: mail_attachment_dir = /var/spool/vmail/attachments As a test I sent a mail from GMail to 2 mailboxes (1 To and 1 CC). The attachment got saved to the attachment directory (on ZFS): # find . ./04 ./04/78 ./04/78/0478b28c2a4c235370bb3cef4bc0482bb6000dae-b8819638a60e574d5b530100bde47b1f-2088e7301f9e3c4dc97e0000bde47b1f-244 ./04/78/0478b28c2a4c235370bb3cef4bc0482bb6000dae-007dcd01a70e574d5c530100bde47b1f-98d08416e4712b4d75310100bde47b1f-192 # ls -l total 519 -rw------- 1 vmail vmail 242866 Feb 12 23:50 0478b28c2a4c235370bb3cef4bc0482bb6000dae-007dcd01a70e574d5c530100bde47b1f-98d08416e4712b4d75310100bde47b1f-192 -rw------- 1 vmail vmail 242866 Feb 12 23:50 0478b28c2a4c235370bb3cef4bc0482bb6000dae-b8819638a60e574d5b530100bde47b1f-2088e7301f9e3c4dc97e0000bde47b1f-244 So these files are not hardlinks, they are 2 seperate files.

[Dovecot] Can't connect to auth server
by Phill Edwards 13 Feb '11

13 Feb '11

I'm trying to phase out procmail and move to dovecot-sieve instead. It ain't proving easy. I'll describe my setup: - Centos 5.2 box with dovecot 1.1.4 and dovecot-sieve 1.1.6 from ATrpms. - A single user account is used to store all our email (the account is called maildb). - Getmail is being used to fetch the email from various ISP mailboxes. I want to deliver mail to different folders in maildb's Maildir/ depending on who the email is addressed to (the procmail recipes currently do that). - Getmail destination section looks like this: [destination] type = MDA_external path = /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver arguments = ("-d", "maildb") allow_root_commands = true - When I run getmail I get this error in dovecot.log: deliver(maildb): May 04 22:15:26 Error: Can't connect to auth server at /var/run/dovecot/auth-master: No such file or directory It's true that I don't have a file called auth-master. I guess I should have but until I started this dovecot-sieve work it was never a problem. I have no idea what that file should look like. As I installed from binary RPMs I would have thought one would have come with the install. Can anyone help? Regards, Phill

Hello list, Testing lmtp deliver I can't constrain it to log all activity to separate file, like dovecot-lda does. Here is config: protocol lmtp { info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot/dovecot-deliver.log log_path = /var/log/dovecot/dovecot-deliver.log mail_plugins = acl quota trash virtual zlib expire sieve } protocol lda { info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot/dovecot-deliver.log log_path = /var/log/dovecot/dovecot-deliver.log mail_plugins = acl quota trash virtual zlib expire sieve } When message is proceed via protocol lda - record appear in /var/log/dovecot/dovecot-deliver.log, but when message arrives by protocol lmtp - logs got to /var/log/dovecot.log file. Is this settings suppose to be overwritten ?

[Dovecot] preserving \Recent when moving messages
by Mark Hedges 12 Feb '11

12 Feb '11

Is there any way to preserve \Recent, or am I out of luck? Some people have reported that my script which shuffles around expired or oversized mail also causes their clients to report it as already read. I guess those clients check \Recent instead of \Seen when they download. I wish I knew which clients. With Mail::IMAPClient I tried using move(), copy(), and migrate() but the result is the same-- once it looks at the source message, \Recent is gone. (I tried patching it where it greps out the \Recent flag before appending the messages, but that causes a silent error.) Directly appending to the destination folder does not help either, since I would lose any flags set by the user, and if I tried to preserve those, then I would lose the \Recent flag when I read through the destination folder to figure out which messages were which. RFC5301 says \Recent can never be set... but does its prohibition include the case of migrating mail, where the intent is to retain them intact? It would be nice if Dovecot offered a migration feature which would move a message from folder to folder without unsetting \Recent. Mark

[Dovecot] problem configuring deliver in LDAP environment.
by Andrea Borghi 12 Feb '11

12 Feb '11

hello I am using dovecot-1.2.15 in debian squeeze (packaged) and i have some difficulties migrating from an older installation tha is working perfectly. i have a transport defined in postfix to call deliver as follows: dovecotlda unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -s -e -f ${sender} -d ${recipient} with the auth-socket in dovecot.conf all ok and this in ldap-userdb.conf: user_attrs = vdHome=chroot,mailbox=mail=maildir:%$,quota=quota_rule=*:bytes=%$,otherPath=sieve you see, i have the base directory for the chroot for the entire mail system in ldap:vdHome as /home/vmail/domains and the actual location of the mailbox in maildir format in ldap:mailbox so i can have the actual complete path as /(vdHome)/(mailbox) This is running smoolthly, BUT the chroot environment with all the library dependencies is REALLY REALLY limiting because the huge number of files from the system i must put on the mail storeage (which is networked and used by more systems so i cannot put libraries and binaries there) What i am trying to do is leaving all the dovecot services running in chroot mode (as they do) but let deliver running in NORMAL (non-chroot mode) so i need to remove the chroot variable in userattr reply, and parametrize the mail location with the two ldap values. i am conscious that i can set up this as user_attrs = mailbox=mail=maildir:/home/vmail/domains/%$,quota=quota_rule=*:bytes=%$,otherPath=sieve but I WANT TO KEEP THE BASE DIR PARAMETRIZED to leave me the possibility to set the base dir in LDAP to goup the accounts on different mail storage system. So you know a method to substitute TWO ldap values in the mail parameter definition? Thank you Andrea

[Dovecot] Questions about dovecot-shared in 1.2 and inherit group membership from parent mailbox
by Lukas Haase 12 Feb '11

12 Feb '11

Hi, I read the Wiki about dovecot-shared a few times but it is not 100% clear to me (at least for 1.2). First, if I want shared keywords I *must* have a dovecot-shared. In this case, the permissions are not taken any longer from the parent folder (what is exactly this parent folder?) but from the dovecot-shared file. So in some sense dovecot-shared is always required (since everyone would like to share keywords). True? Second, is there only *one* dovecot-shared per namespace or per mailbox *under* a specific namespace? Or an arbitrary number (where the "last" is taken)? Where does dovecot-shared need to be placed? For example, if the location of the namespace points to /var/mail/shared and I have two mailboxes "group1" and "group2" inside. Does the dovecot-shared need to reside in /var/mail/shared or /var/mail/shared/group1 and /var/mail/shared/group2 (with LAYOUT=fs)? Is it possible? Third (and main) question: In /var/mail/shared I want to have a mailbox for each group. Each user is member of his respective groups (in terms of UNIX permissions *and* ACLs). The mailboxes are owned by their respective groups and if a user creates a subfolder inside it should surely have the same group assigned as the parent mailbox (not the namespace!). namespace public { separator = . prefix = Shared. location = maildir:/var/mail/shared:INDEX=~/Maildir/shared:LAYOUT=fs subscriptions = no } mail:~# ls -l -R /var/mail/shared/ /var/mail/shared/: total 12 drwxrwx--- 5 root group1 4096 Feb 9 11:53 Group1 drwxrwx--- 5 root group2 4096 Feb 9 12:27 Group2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 23 Feb 9 11:52 dovecot-acl -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 15 2009 dovecot-shared /var/mail/shared/Group1: total 16 drwxrwx--- 2 root group1 4096 Feb 8 10:35 cur -rw-r--r-- 1 root group1 28 Feb 9 11:52 dovecot-acl -rw-rw-r-- 1 root group1 0 Dec 15 2009 dovecot-shared drwxrwx--- 2 root group1 4096 Dec 15 2009 new drwxrwx--- 2 root group1 4096 Feb 8 10:34 tmp /var/mail/shared/Group1/cur: total 0 /var/mail/shared/Group1/new: total 0 /var/mail/shared/Group1/tmp: total 0 /var/mail/shared/Group2: total 16 drwxrwx--- 2 root group2 4096 Feb 8 10:35 cur -rw-r--r-- 1 root group2 27 Feb 9 11:52 dovecot-acl -rw-rwS--- 1 root group2 0 Dec 15 2009 dovecot-shared drwxrwx--- 2 root group2 4096 Dec 15 2009 new drwxrwx--- 2 root group2 4096 Feb 8 10:34 tmp /var/mail/shared/Group2/cur: total 0 /var/mail/shared/Group2/new: total 0 /var/mail/shared/Group2/tmp: total 0 Again: *Inside* /var/mail/shared I want to create mailboxes for each group (Group1, Group2, ...). This is done only by the administrator. Therefore /var/mail/shared is owned by root. Each Group1, Group2, ... in turn is owned by group1, group2, ... I tried all combinations using dovecot-shared which came into my mind such that a subfolder of Group1 is owned by group1. However, either 1.) the subfolder is owned by the primary group of the creating user (group "users") or 2.) the group of /var/mail/shared/dovecot-shared or 3.) creation of the subfolder fails with dovecot: IMAP(user1): chown(/var/mail/shared/Group2/Test1, -1, 0(root)) failed: Operation not permitted (egid=100(users), group based on /var/mail/shared/dovecot-shared) dovecot: IMAP(user1): mkdir(/var/mail/shared/Group2/Test1/cur) failed: Operation not permitted Is this just not possible or do I get something wrong here?

[Dovecot] [Q] auth(default): plain(?, 11.111.206.99): Username contains disallowed character: 0x20

Dear all, A new user with Microsoft Express is trying to use IMAP SSL port 993. However they cannot log in. Its only with them. The logs details the following: Feb 11 18:56:03 logout dovecot: auth(default): plain(?,11.111.206.99): Username contains disallowed character: 0x20 Feb 11 18:58:07 logout dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (auth failed, 1 attempts): method=PLAIN, rip=11.111.206.99, lip=62.58.61.184, TLS: Disconnected I think that the 0x20 is a space. However the user states that they are using this format and that there is no space: user.name(a)test.com Does anyone know where I could start to look for this? Regards,S

[Dovecot] Domain blacklisting
by Thomas Hummel 11 Feb '11

11 Feb '11

Hello, I run dovecot-2/Maildir/LDAP user/passdb and would like to be able to deny acess to users who connect from certain domains/IP (google.com for instance since in that case they gave their credentials to a third party). My understanding is that I cannot use some negative form of "allow_nets". The only mechanism I can think of is tcp_wrappers. However, dovecot documentation mention it only in the dovecot-1 section. Does it work the same way with dovecot-2 ? Is it a bad idea (I'm thinking of the induced overhead) ? Can you see another way to blacklist (at dovecot application level) some sources ? Thanks -- Thomas Hummel | Institut Pasteur <hummel(a)pasteur.fr> | Pôle informatique - systèmes et réseau

[Dovecot] Separate access to different "folders" of the same mailbox?
by Alexander Chekalin 11 Feb '11

11 Feb '11

Hello Timo and everyone, I think on such an idea that may save me a bit of space and time: in my company we have a mailbox that holds a copy of every message that our SMTP processed. While it eats a lot of space, it saved us several times when, you may imaging, user "suddenly" deleted the most important message in his life and call our IT guys for help. The mailbox contains "folders" for each day (like 2011-02-10), which keeps mailings for that day only. Even with this, it is sometime hard to work with that "keep all" box (basically, it is slow as the size is huge). What I'd like to add is some kind of "virtual folders" (for each of our internal users) that list messages from and to his address. And I'd like to permit every user to see (that is, read only mode) only "his" such a virtual folder in our "keep all" box, so user can see his old messages on his own. Looks like 1) I need an ACL to limit user access to "their" folders and somehow hide other folders at all 2) Have such virtual folders work with huge ammount of mailings (kind of 300 Gb), separated in maybe 1000 folders (per days). I really afraid it will be slo-o-o-ow search, even with indexes (I mean, virtual folder that is defined as search over 1000 folders will be not that fast). The mailbox is maildir by nature. How can I archive these goals with smallest load possible, and if it is possible at all? Thank you, Alexander Chekalin

[Dovecot] xi.rename-it.nl/debian/ dovecot-2.0 sieve problem
by Martin Rozgonski 11 Feb '11

11 Feb '11

Hi, i used to use deb http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/ stable-auto/dovecot-2.0 main to update dovecot 1.2 with debian lenny. I used the convert script to change my configuration file. Everything works fine but sieve does not work anymore. There is no error in the logs but dovecot simply ignores any filter. I checked the documentation/configuration twice and had still no success. Maybe, this is a known/unknown bug or any suggestions? Best regards Martin Rozgonski

[Dovecot] multiple domains
by Sergio Moscoso 10 Feb '11

10 Feb '11

Anybody can help me with this issue. It's the right place to submit thios question, please help me. Actually we have configured a server (postfix,dovecot,mysql) with multiple domains, but the problem resides in that we don't want to login via POP3 using "user@domain" just using "user", because we'll migrate our actual platform (Qmail) to dovecot. Our users are logging to their mail boxes, using only user name. We want to ask if that's posible to use a function like a "vipmap" in qmail, that allow to map an IP address to a domain. We're using the dovecot 1.0.7, the configuration shows as follows: 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: 100 mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir/ mail_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib64/dovecot/pop3 imap_client_workarounds(default): delay-newmail outlook-idle netscape-eoh imap_client_workarounds(imap): delay-newmail outlook-idle netscape-eoh imap_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-idle pop3_client_workarounds(default): pop3_client_workarounds(imap): pop3_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh auth default: username_format: %Lu passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot-mysql.conf userdb: driver: static args: uid=101 gid=102 home=/home/vmail/%d/%n We'll apreciate your response, 'cause we coulnd't find information about this issuet and we didn't to find any clue that shows how can realize it.

[Dovecot] IMAP subfolders and MDBOX
by Frank Bonnet 10 Feb '11

10 Feb '11

Hello We actually use MBOX format on our mailhub but this does not permit to create IMAP subfolders. Many users are asking me fot this feature and I agree with them of course. My problem is to choose the format that will permit imap subfolders creation. Maildir is not my favorite format and I wonder about MDBOX. Does it permit imap subfolders creation ? It is possible to convert from MBOX to MDBOX in one shot ? Is it stable / mature enoug for a production server ( 4000 users ) ? Thank you

[Dovecot] /var/mail/<user> and mail group privileges
by Michal Hlavinka 10 Feb '11

10 Feb '11

Hi Timo, I'm facing problem with mail group privileges (again), because I've heard a few complains. I was looking at old emails and list archives, but still does not know the answer. In default (fedora/rhel) setup mail group and 0660 privileges are used. This means that when mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u is used, dovecot fails with first (and only first) attempt to select inbox (imap) or login (pop3). Shouldn't mkdir and chown make together a transaction? When it fails just for first time, it confuses some admins (this is the reason why I'm getting complains (bug reports) just because missing/wrong configuration). I think it a) should work even for first connection (ignore chown failure) or b)it should not work for following connection, so the behavior should be more consistent. Also it seems unclear what configuration option is required for making this work in new dovecot versions where configuration is split to mail_privileged_group and mail_access_groups. I see that after reading documentation in 10-mail.conf, some admins expects mail_privileged_group to be enough while mail_access_group is required to prevent fchown failure. Would it be possible to explicitly mention in the config file what option is required? I can add patch with this to our rpm, but we always prefer to be as close to the upstream as possible. Thanks Michal

[Dovecot] LDAP quota groups
by ian+dovecot＠comtek.co.uk 10 Feb '11

10 Feb '11

Is there any way to have a per-LDAP-group quota? The OpenLDAP folk's suggestions are to hack the source for an overlay (ideal, but it looks somewhat involved) or to do it at the application (Dovecot). I've added an LDAP userattr 'quotaMegaBytes' which is great for allowing me to override the server's default quota on a per-user basis, but ideally I'd be able to override the quota only for people who are member of a certain LDAP group. Perhaps I could override it for IMAP sessions with a postlogin script, but I can't see any way to apply it to deliver. Thanks for any suggestions, Ian

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.0.7 doesn't disassociate STDERR when it daemonizes.
by Virgil Champlin 10 Feb '11

10 Feb '11

At least it appears that way on my FreeBSD 8.1 system. This is probably unnoticeable in regular use but I happen to use CFengine(v2) for system configuration & monitoring. If it notices dovecot not running it tries to start it and hangs. I believe cfengine (cfagent) has created a pipe to monitor the start commmand's stderr and is waiting for this pipe to close. This never happens because the pipe has been inherited by dovecot which, in version 2, doesn't release stderr as part of its daemonization. Although cfengine could be more defensive, I believe dovecot should be disassociating from the inherited stderr. Looking at master/main.c, I see stdin, stdout & stderr being set to /dev/null in main() if they are inherited unassigned: do { null_fd = open("/dev/null", O_WRONLY); if (null_fd == -1) i_fatal("Can't open /dev/null: %m"); fd_close_on_exec(null_fd, TRUE); } while (null_fd <= STDERR_FILENO); But stderr is missing when a later dup2() is used to release any inherited values not covered by the above: if (dup2(null_fd, STDIN_FILENO) < 0 || dup2(null_fd, STDOUT_FILENO) < 0) i_fatal("dup2(null_fd) failed: %m"); Adding a dup2 for stderr to the above statement works in my simple test case but I'm unsure if there are other issues which may require delaying it. Dovecot 1.2.16 approaches this a little differently & does slightly delay the stderr dup2. The appended diff (v2.0.7) works for me but a more informed opinion might have a better suggestion. Thank you very much for your time. I just started using Dovecot and really like it. -virgil --- main.c.orig 2010-11-04 11:58:48.000000000 -0700 +++ main.c 2011-01-05 18:11:45.000000000 -0800 @@ -717,7 +717,8 @@ } if (dup2(null_fd, STDIN_FILENO) < 0 || - dup2(null_fd, STDOUT_FILENO) < 0) + dup2(null_fd, STDOUT_FILENO) < 0 || + dup2(null_fd, STDERR_FILENO) < 0) i_fatal("dup2(null_fd) failed: %m"); pidfile_path = -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

I just spent a bit puzzling over "login_trusted_networks". My problem was using "10.1.2/24" instead of "10.1.2.0/24". Here are some things I looked for during troubleshooting that didn't pan out: (1) No messages printed to syslog. (2) Search for "login_trusted_networks" on the Wiki (wiki2) failed.
