[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.0 progress?
by Guy 21 Jul '10

21 Jul '10

Hi, Been having a look at the roadmap on the wiki for Dovecot 2.0 and I was wondering how that's progressing? Are you able to offer a guesstimate on how far it is from stable Timo? Just asking because we're moving to new servers soon and I'm considering using the opportunity to switch from Dovecot/Maildrop/Maildir to Dovecot/deliver/mdbox if 2.0 is likely to be reasonably safe to use in the next month or so. Thanks Guy -- Don't just do something...sit there!

Hi In http://wiki.dovecot.org/Variables I found: %s service imap, pop3, smtp, deliver and that can be use in userdb and SQL query string. How exactly can I use %s in the query string if I want for ex to disable a service (just one service - ex pop3) for a specific user. Alex

[Dovecot] Dinamic 'mail_location' for each user
by Thiago Henrique 21 Jul '10

21 Jul '10

Hello, I have a lot of domains in a mail server, so I make a balanced allocation of mailboxes in the storage disks. That improves performance of access to records. Therefore, I want to overwrite 'mail_location' directive for each user. But I also want to use the modifier 'H' to spray the mailboxes of the same partition in a hash. Then, each user has your own 'mail_location' that I would like load from database. Like this: mdbox:/var/spool/imap/partition1/%256HRu/%u:INDEX=/var/lib/imap/user/% 256HRu/%u partition1 is in range [partition1 .. partiton7] In my tests the '%256HRu/%u' kind of 'mail_location' is not being interpreted by Dovecot. Can Dovecot to interpret 'mail_location' load from database ? Thank you. -- []'s Thiago Henrique Network Administration Digirati Networks K8 Networks

[Dovecot] Login process connection routing
by Brandon Davidson 20 Jul '10

20 Jul '10

Timo, Just out of curiosity, how are incoming connections routed to login processes when run with: service imap-login { service_count = 0 } I've been playing with this on our test director, and the process connection counts look somewhat unbalanced. I'm wondering if there are any performance issues with having a single process handle so many connections. It seems fine (system load is actually lower than with service_count = 1), but I thought I'd ask. /usr/sbin/dovecot \_ dovecot/imap-login \_ dovecot/imap-login [1 connections (1 TLS)] \_ dovecot/imap-login \_ dovecot/imap-login [5 connections (5 TLS)] \_ dovecot/imap-login [1 connections (1 TLS)] \_ dovecot/imap-login [4 connections (4 TLS)] \_ dovecot/imap-login [1 connections (1 TLS)] \_ dovecot/imap-login [1 connections (1 TLS)] \_ dovecot/imap-login [315 connections (315 TLS)] \_ dovecot/imap-login [63 connections (63 TLS)] \_ dovecot/imap-login [12 connections (12 TLS)] \_ dovecot/imap-login \_ dovecot/imap-login [10 connections (10 TLS)] \_ dovecot/imap-login [2 connections (2 TLS)] \_ dovecot/imap-login [370 connections (370 TLS)] \_ dovecot/imap-login [24 connections (24 TLS)] -Brad

[Dovecot] Doveadm director flush/remove
by Brandon Davidson 20 Jul '10

20 Jul '10

I've got a couple more issues with the doveadm director interface: 1) If I use "doveadm director remove" to disable a host with active users, the director seems to lose track of users mapped to that host. I guess I would expect it to tear down any active sessions by killing the login proxies, like I'd done 'doveadm direct add HOSTNAME 0 && doveadm director flush HOSTNAME' before removing it? Here's what I see with an active open connection: [root@cc-popmap7 ~]# doveadm director status brandond Current: 10.142.0.179 (expires 2010-07-14 01:26:14) Hashed: 10.142.0.179 Initial config: 10.142.0.161 [root@cc-popmap7 ~]# doveadm director remove 10.142.0.179 [root@cc-popmap7 ~]# doveadm director status brandond Current: not assigned Hashed: 10.142.0.174 Initial config: 10.142.0.161 2) "doveadm director flush" returns the wrong usage: [root@cc-popmap7 ~]# doveadm director flush doveadm director remove [-a <director socket path>] <host> 3) "doveadm director flush" all breaks the ring: [root@cc-popmap7 ~]# doveadm director flush all Jul 14 01:26:33 cc-popmap7 dovecot: director: Error: Director 10.142.0.180:1234/right disconnected Jul 14 01:26:33 cc-popmap7 dovecot: director: Error: Director 10.142.0.180:1234/left disconnected Jul 14 01:26:33 oh-popmap7 dovecot: director: Error: director(10.142.0.162:1234/left): Invalid HOST-FLUSH args Jul 14 01:26:33 oh-popmap7 dovecot: director: Error: director(10.142.0.162:1234/right): Invalid HOST-FLUSH args For some reason, flushing a host address only disconnects one side: [root@cc-popmap7 ~]# doveadm director flush 10.142.0.160 Jul 14 01:28:23 cc-popmap7 dovecot: director: Error: Director 10.142.0.180:1234/right disconnected Jul 14 01:28:23 oh-popmap7 dovecot: director: Error: director(10.142.0.162:1234/left): Invalid HOST-FLUSH args -Brad

[Dovecot] [dovecot] Dovecot Migration so far
by Mark Moseley 20 Jul '10

20 Jul '10

We've been doing our own beta testing of Dovecot 2.0-beta4 IMAP (both direct IMAP and webmail-fronted), and we've had nothing but glowing compliments from our beta users/victims. I've also been running a lone box with the latest mercurial build and that's been running just fine too. All mail data is on NFS, but I've put indexes on the local disk, which has worked just dandy so far. Everything's been great and all I've seen amiss are a few random problems -- all of which are are barely impacting us and I mention only for the sake of feedback. All boxes are Debian Lenny i386, running 2.6.33.1. One oddity is that I see lots of messages like this (I've obfuscated paths/IPs/usernames, so assume paths are all actually correct) for a variety of different mailboxes prior to their indexes directory getting initially created: Apr 02 13:25:24 imap(mail@box): Error: creat(/var/tmp/Indexes/14/75/mail(a)box/dovecot.mailbox.log) failed: No such file or directory Judging by the mtimes of the containing directories, the directory was created a couple of seconds after the error gets logged, so I'm guessing mailbox_log_alloc is just getting called too early. It obviously just happens that first time. Doesn't seem to actually be hurting anything, that I can tell. One other kind of weird thing I saw was that originally I had my indexes on a dedicated partition with ext4 (Debian Lenny, i386, 2.6.33.1), I was seeing scattered messages like this: Mar 29 18:02:38 imap(mail@box): Error: FETCH [] for mailbox INBOX UID 3244 got too little data: 1116 vs 1087383 Mar 29 18:02:38 imap(mail@box): Error: Corrupted index cache file /var/tmp/Indexes/12/dc/mail(a)box/.INBOX/dovecot.index.cache: Broken virtual size for mail UID 3244 The message corresponding with UID 3244 was around 1116 bytes (+32 bytes, IIRC), so no clue where the 1087383. In all the cases of that error I saw, the lefthand number of bytes was very closer to correct and the righthand was way way off, and the S= flag in the filename was correct too. I'm guessing that the random righthand number was just due to corrupted cache. When I reformatted that partition as ext3, the error went almost completely away (just a few total over the past few days, as opposed to a few per hour when it was on ext4). I don't even have an educated guess as to why that'd happen. A wild guess would be that ext4's delayed allocation was causing problems. Even under ext4, it was still pretty rare and only, say, 1 out of 100 imap logins. And ext3 performance on the indexes partition so far has been just fine, so I don't plan on switching back to ext4 -- though if anyone has any experience with putting indexes on reiserfs and/or xfs versus ext3, I'd love to hear your thoughts. I've also seen a couple of these in the past few days (on beta4, not repo version -- haven't been running repo version long enough to say if it'd do the same): Mar 31 21:52:54 imap(mail@box): Error: fdatasync(/mail/username/mail@box/Maildir/dovecot-uidlist) failed: Input/output error Mar 31 21:52:54 imap(mail@box): Error: Raw backtrace: /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0 [0xb77c0b71] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0 [0xb77c0bef] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_error+0) [0xb77c0ea8] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_index_sync_begin_to+0x9a9) [0xb7837ca9] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_index_sync_begin+0x56) [0xb7837d56] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(maildir_sync_index_begin+0x51) [0xb78734d1] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0 [0xb78716eb] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(maildir_storage_sync_force+0x4d) [0xb78719bd] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(maildir_uidlist_lookup+0x96) [0xb7877646] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0 [0xb787215a] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(maildir_sync_index+0x7f0) [0xb78729d0] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0 [0xb78715b6] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(maildir_storage_sync_init+0x162) [0xb7871b92] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mailbox_sync_init+0x39) [0xb7815759] -> dovecot/imap [mail@box 215.108.28.102 UID](imap_sync_init+0x54) [0x805efa4] -> dovecot/imap [mail@box 215.108.28.102 UID](cmd_sync_delayed+0x223) [0x805f2a3] -> dovecot/imap [mail@box 215.108.28.102 UID](client_output+0xb6) [0x8056de6] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0 [0xb77d5d4a] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0xf5) [0xb77cd1d5] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x30) [0xb77cc220] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(master_service_run+0x2a) [0xb77b9e1a] -> dovecot/imap [mail@box 215.108.28.102 UID](main+0x1c5) [0x805f8e5] -> /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe5) [0xb764d455] -> dovecot/imap [mail@box 215.108.28.102 UID] [0x804e621] Mar 31 21:52:54 master: Error: service(imap): child 4500 killed with signal 6 (core dumps disabled) In 4 days of beta testing with a fair number of users, I've seen maybe 4 of these backtraces total, so not exactly a big issue.

[Dovecot] About Logging
by Henrique Fernandes 20 Jul '10

20 Jul '10

It is possible to make dovecot do not log any request from a determined host? Because, we gonna use ldirectord for foward request and etc and the ldirectord makes an connecting every 2 seconds to find out if the server is ok, and also make a login in imap and pop3 to check this service as well. Is there any how to make dovecot do not log entries for a determined host ? The logs get too many info that we don need! Any ideias ? Thanks! * *i have sent a msg like this, but i got no answer i thought i might have not deliver into the mailist! I am sorry if it already have it!* *[]'sf.rique

[Dovecot] Unknown column username in where clause
by Daniel Luttermann 20 Jul '10

20 Jul '10

Version: Dovecot 2.0 rc2 I'm testing Dovecot with MySQL quotas but I get always this error for incoming mails: tux dovecot: lmtp(4928): Error: user testuser(a)dlutt.de: Auth USER lookup failed tux dovecot: auth: Error: mysql: Query failed, retrying: Unknown column 'username' in 'where clause' I dont' know where the field "username" should come from because I don't use this field (or query). The relevant files are: dovecot-sql.conf.ext ==================== password_query = SELECT userid AS user, password, \ home AS userdb_home, uid AS userdb_uid, gid AS userdb_gid, \ concat('*:bytes=', quota_bytes) as userdb_quota_rule \ FROM users WHERE userid = '%u' auth-sql.conf.ext ================= passdb { driver = sql args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext } userdb { driver = prefetch } userdb { driver = sql args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext } 90-quota.conf ============= plugin { quota = dict:user::proxy::quota quota_rule = *:storage=0 } dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext ========================= map { pattern = priv/quota/storage table = quota username_field = userid value_field = bytes } map { pattern = priv/quota/messages table = quota username_field = userid value_field = messages } I've grepped through all config files but I can't find any (active) query which uses the above "where username=...". The quota db gets correctly updated if an user logs in so the problem only exists during mail delivery. My SQL tables were crated as follows: CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `users` ( `userid` varchar(100) NOT NULL, `password` varchar(64) NOT NULL, `home` varchar(255) NOT NULL, `uid` int(11) NOT NULL, `gid` int(11) NOT NULL, `quota_bytes` varchar(10) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`userid`) ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1; CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `quota` ( `userid` varchar(100) NOT NULL, `bytes` bigint(20) NOT NULL default '0', `messages` int(11) NOT NULL default '0', PRIMARY KEY (`userid`) ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1; -- Daniel

[Dovecot] namespace trouble
by Kevin Faulkner 19 Jul '10

19 Jul '10

I am having some trouble with dovecot 1.2.12 and some namespace issues, or at least that's what I think is the issue. I setup a virtual mailhosting using mysql and postfix. I can receive email and send email without a problem, but when I use mutt to sign in to dovecot, I can't list any Folders, it see's INBOX but it doesn't see any mail. I generally try to not post my problems online, but I searched around on the Internet and I couldn't find anything similar to this issue. I also used kmail to connect to the and it is able to see the mail, but when I can't create any folders. mutt connecting option: mutt set spoolfile=imaps://server.here/INBOX." Here is the mutt debug (mutt -d 3) 4< a0001 OK Capability completed. 4< * LIST (\Noselect) "."

[Dovecot] Unable to get Dovecot LDA/deliver working
by Frank van Amsterdam 19 Jul '10

19 Jul '10

I want to setup Dovecot LDA, but I don't understand what I'm doing anymore. I have to note that I'm a Linux beginner. I've been trying now for several months and I'm about to give up. Till so far I'm having no result. :-( My current setup is done as described at http://www.linuxmail.info. We use Postfix 2.3.3 (with Postgrey, Spamassassin and ClamAV), Dovecot 1.2.11 and OpenLDAP 2.4.1 on CentOS 5.5. All incoming e-mail are delivered by Postfix in the users' maildir. We use this as a base for SOGo, our groupware solution and it runs smoothly. I have to setup a new mailserver, because we're standardising on Debian. My employer wants to have new functions like out-of-office-replies and forwarding. I want to make use of sieve. Unfortunately I don't know anyone who can help me. My problem is that I don't understand how the delivery process is working. I've read much documentation from Postfix and Dovecot, but I find it too difficult to understand. What do I understand? I know that I have to make changes in /etc/dovecot, /etc/postfix/main.cf and /etc/postfix/master.cf as described at http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA. /etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.18-028stab064.7 i686 CentOS release 5.5 (Final) reiserfs base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/ protocols: imap imaps pop3 pop3s managesieve ssl: no version_ignore: yes login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login login_executable(managesieve): /usr/libexec/dovecot/managesieve-login mail_location: maildir:/home/vmail/%u/Maildir mail_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_executable(managesieve): /usr/libexec/dovecot/managesieve mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(managesieve): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/managesieve imap_client_workarounds(default): delay-newmail outlook-idle netscape-eoh imap_client_workarounds(imap): delay-newmail outlook-idle netscape-eoh imap_client_workarounds(pop3): imap_client_workarounds(managesieve): pop3_client_workarounds(default): pop3_client_workarounds(imap): pop3_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh pop3_client_workarounds(managesieve): managesieve_logout_format(default): bytes=%i/%o managesieve_logout_format(imap): bytes=%i/%o managesieve_logout_format(pop3): bytes=%i/%o managesieve_logout_format(managesieve): bytes ( in=%i : out=%o ) lda: postmaster_address: postmaster(a)domain.nl mail_plugins: cmusieve mail_plugin_dir: /usr/lib/dovecot/lda deliver_log_format: msgid=%m: %$ -- FROM=%f SUBJECT=%s log_path: /var/log/dovecot-deliver.log info_log_path: /var/log/dovecot-deliver.log syslog_facility: mail sendmail_path: /usr/lib/sendmail rejection_subject: Rejected: %s rejection_reason: Your message to <%t> was automatically rejected:%n%r auth_socket_path: /usr/local/var/run/dovecot-auth-master auth default: mechanisms: plain login username_format: %Lu 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 master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 user: vmail group: vmail plugin: sieve: /var/sieve-scripts/%u.sieve sieve_dir: %h/sieve sieve_global_dir: /var/lib/dovecot/sieve/global/ /etc/postfix/main.cf virtual_mailbox_domains = /etc/postfix/domains ## Plain text file with the domains virtual_mailbox_base = /home/vmail virtual_mailbox_maps = ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap-users.cf virtual_alias_maps = ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap-groups.cf virtual_uid_maps = static:500 virtual_gid_maps = static:500 dovecot_destination_recipient_limit = 1 #virtual_transport = dovecot ## Commented out to deliver by Postfix /etc/postfix/ldap-users.cf server_host = localhost search_base = dc=domain,dc=com version = 3 query_filter = (&(objectclass=mailUser)(mail=%s)) result_attribute = uid result_format = %s/Maildir/ /etc/postfix/ldap-groups.cf server_host = localhost search_base = dc=domain,dc=com version = 3 query_filter = (&(objectclass=mailGroup)(mail=%s)) leaf_result_attribute = mail special_result_attribute = member /etc/postfix/master.cf dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d <username> I hope someone can help me, because many people on the internet say that it is easy.

[Dovecot] How to install sieve
by Carsten Laun-De Lellis 19 Jul '10

19 Jul '10

Hi all I do have a problem. I have an installation on opensuse 11.2 with postfix, amavis, spamassassin and dovecot 1.2.9 with a mysql authtentication backend. Everything works fine. I want now to install sieve, but i failed all the time. I downloaded dovecot-1.2-sieve-0.1.17 and followed the installation how-to. First when i tried to ./configure the installation i was always asked for dovecot-config. I managed this problem with a symlink. But when i try to run make i always got the following error message. I would appreciate any help. Kind regards, Carsten Laun-De Lellis ../../sieve-result.h:143: error: expected declaration specifiers or â...â before âboolâ In file included from cmd-vacation.c:27: ../../sieve-message.h:18: warning:

[Dovecot] Deleting Index Files and Expire Tool
by Tom Goerger 19 Jul '10

19 Jul '10

Hi, In order to periodically deal with corrupted index files in Dovecot, we routinely will remove a users .imap folder in order to have the indexes rebuild. This hasn't ever caused a problem previously. However, removing the user's index files seems to break the ability of the expire plugin to update the expire stamp correctly, or expunge mail from the user folder. This seems logical, with the reliance of expire on the index.cache files. In testing, actually emptying the trash (since we're only concerned about Trash folders) resets the mailbox to a degree that the expire tool functions properly again. My question is, is there a better way to handle corrupted cache files? Is there a more graceful way to rebuild these using Dovecot tools? Or is there a more specific index file that can be removed, rather than removing the entire hierarchy? We're using Dovecot 1.1.6, on Solaris 10. -- Tom Goerger University of Minnesota - Internet Services

[Dovecot] Proxy IMAP/POP/ManageSieve/SMTP in a large cluster enviroment
by Aliet Santiesteban Sifontes 19 Jul '10

19 Jul '10

Hi to all in the list, we are trying to do some tests lab for a large scale mail system having this requirements: - Scale to maybe 1million users(Only for testing). - Server side filters. - User quotas. - High concurrency. - High performance and High Availability. We plan to test this using RHEL5 and maybe RHEL6. As a storage we are going to use an HP EVA 8400 FC(8 GB/s) We defined this functional roles. 1- Outgoing SMTP gateway servers. - Load balanced with Piranha LVS using Direct Routing. - ( n servers)RHEL5/6 using Postfix Latest version Amavisd-new Clamav Spamassasin maybe some other filters. 2- Incomming SMTP gateway servers. - Load balanced with Piranha LVS using Direct Routing. - RHEL5/6 using Postfix Latest version Amavisd-new Clamav Spamassasin( n servers) maybe some other filters. 3- Webmail Cluster farm. - Load balanced with Piranha LVS using Direct Routing. - ( n servers)RHEL5/6 using RHCS Active/Active. Apache2 PHP5 Horde. 4- Openldap load balanced openldap cluster. - Load balanced with Piranha LVS using Direct Routing. - ( n servers)RHEL5/6 using Openldap. 5- IMAP/POP/ManageSieve/SMTP Proxy or Director. - Load balanced with Piranha LVS using Direct Routing. - ( n servers)RHEL5/6 using Dovecot - Postfix(Director or Proxy). 6- Mail backend. - ( n servers)RHEL5/6 using Dovecot. Now for functional role 6 "Mail Backend" we have some dilemmas. - Recommended scalable filesystem to use for such scenario(Clustered or not). -GFS2?? We have very bad experiences with GFS1 and maildir, GFS2 doesn't seems to improve this also. Using some techniques for session afinity with a backend server seems to help with the locking problems of GFS and the cache. Using GFS many IMAP SMTP servers can in parallel write or read to user mailboxes, if GFS can perform well we prefer this, will have to proxy o use director for the cache problem. - Ext4, Ext3 well tested with many setups but only one backend server can access one ext4 lun, so we have to proxy a user always to a ip backend address or VIP in a case of failure cluster software has to move the server to another node, the cluster service is formed by a IP Address and one or many Luns wich moves from node to node in a case of failure. - Recommended scalable method for partition divition. - Directory Hashing(How it actually works the theory behind this), we see the wiki but we need to understand the theory to balance the directory structure. - Using some criteria ex Lun1(a-h users), Lun2(i-m users).... - Proxy or Director is a must for a Clustered Filsystem or for the solution of a user belonging to one server. - In case we use a Proxy with dovecot we know we can use it with IMAP/POP but are not sure for ManageSieve and more important for SMTP. The question is, how can we proxy for the same user IMAP/POP/ManageSieve and SMTP delivery to mailbox at the same time, can the incoming mail gateways send the email to the proxy servers and dovecot proxy the request for smtp or lmtp appply the same proxy criteria that uses for the protocols IMAP and POP and send the email to the correct backend server and this server do the final delivery?? I mean proxy all the protocols for a user IMAP/POP/SMTP-LMTP?? Any example... Right now we have doubts on this stuff, we are really going to appreciate any help or advice on this... best regards

[Dovecot] Haha wow, thats freakin cool... mdbox
by Brandon Lamb 19 Jul '10

19 Jul '10

It didnt really click until I had a "ls -ald *" on watch while I moved messages around folders using mdbox... I moved about 200 first to an Archive folder, and scratched my head wondering why i didnt see any new m.* files being created after the move. So then I moved some 5k other messages from other folders to my archive folder... Then it dawned on me, how damn cool, the data never changes, dovecot just updates its index of what folder the message is in?! That is awesome! Also, I ended up answering my own question on the 2m mdbox_rotate_size, if a 10 meg email comes through it will write a 10 meg file, so thats cool too.

Anyone else test using different values? Was 2M chosen as a default based on anything specific? Is there any kind of known range where performance starts to go downhill if its greater than x or less than y? Im curious if there would be any obvious reason why I shouldnt set it to 5-10 megs

[Dovecot] users can not login
by Daminto Lie 19 Jul '10

19 Jul '10

Hi, I was wondering if I could get some help here. Recently, I decided I want to move from Windows XP Pro OS to a Linux OS such as Ubuntu. I am new to Linux OS but willing to learn. I have installed Ubuntu Server 10.04, Apache2, MySQL5, PHPMyAdmin, Postfix, DoveCot and Squirrelmail on my server. I have checked them all and they are all up and running at the moment. Now, what I am trying to do here is to add a couple of users and see whether they can login to squirrelmail. The result is none of those two users are able to login. I went to check the mail.log and the error message is as follows Ubuntu-MailServer dovecot: imap-login: Aborted login (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=<david.keith>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured My silly question is I do not quite understand what the above error means. How do i enable users to login and test to see if they can send and receive emails. Users can login via squirrelmail. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello all, I have a question using PAM to authenticate on Solaris 10, with 2.0rc2. I need to set the user for auth-worker to root, else it will return "Unknown user". Is that expected? I'm using PAM, so why does it need access to /etc/shadow? TIA! Laurent service auth-worker { # Auth worker process is run as root by default, so that it can access # /etc/shadow. If this isn't necessary, the user should be changed to # $default_internal_user. user = root #user = dovecot } Jul 18 09:59:31 tiphaine dovecot: [ID 583609 mail.info] auth: pam(user,127.0.0.1): unknown user

[Dovecot] Arghh, dovecot-2 and lda

I cannot seem to get exim/lda working... In my exim log i just see these 2010-07-18 11:51:08 1OaYOJ-0003Vn-2P == brandon(a)olypen.com R=router_pop T=dovecot_deliver defer (2): No such file or directory: failed to chdir to maildir:~/maildir:INDEX=~/maildir/dovecot-index Now I have all the debugging on as far as i can tell, and exim is obviously being returned some value from dovecot because it knows about the maildir that i return from sql, but yet there is zero being logged in debug or anything else.

[Dovecot] Questions about dbox (sdbox?), mdbox
by Brandon Lamb 18 Jul '10

18 Jul '10

Hello, So ive spent the last 45 minutes or so searching the list for dbox stuff, but Im not seeing anything real definitive. My question is basically whether the dbox format is ready for production environment, is sdbox or mdbox more stable/ready than the other or does it matter? What are people's experience/review with running this format (and if you reply can you tell me which one you're using). Is there any docs/wiki page for migrating from maildir -> dbox? Searching for "dbox" on the wiki only returns two results, and only one is actually for dbox. What I have (maildir format) is working, but who doesnt like shiny new toys? =P I have ~450gigs / 14k pop accounts I would have to migrate. Oh thats another question, I have seen "hybrid" throw around, can I take this to mean dbox/mdbox/both support both formats, maybe only new mail goes into the dbox stuff? And if so (or even if not) is there any way to actually convert from maildir to dbox? If anyone has any links that I cant seem to find by consulting the oracle (google) that would be fantastic =)

[Dovecot] mdbox expunge purge question
by Daniel Luttermann 17 Jul '10

17 Jul '10

Hi, I'm testing Dovecot 2.0rc2 with mdbox mail format and I'm not sure what this exactly means: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/dbox Quote from wiki page: ===== Expunging a message only decreases the message's refcount. The space is later freed in "purge" step. This may be done automatically within the session or later in a nightly cronjob when there's less disk I/O. ===== So this means that even if a user deletes a mail the space gets only freed if I run "doveadm purge" manually or an user requests this over his mail client? When the expunge plugin is used the deleted mails are stored in a special mailbox in the users mailbox so it's needed to use the expire plugin too if this should be done automatically? Is it recommend to run "doveadm purge" periodically if mdbox is used? Btw: when I try to run doveadm -Dv expunge -u testuser(a)dlutt.de mailbox Trash savedbefore 30d for example I get such an error: doveadm(root): Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules doveadm(root): Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lib01_acl_plugin.so doveadm(root): Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/doveadm doveadm(root): Error: dlopen(/usr/lib/dovecot/modules/doveadm/lib10_doveadm_expire_plugin.so) failed: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/doveadm/lib10_doveadm_expire_plugin.so: undefined symbol: expire_set_lookup doveadm(root): Error: dlopen(/usr/lib/dovecot/modules/doveadm/lib10_doveadm_quota_plugin.so) failed: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/doveadm/lib10_doveadm_quota_plugin.so: undefined symbol: quota_user_module Plugin expire or expunge is not currently enabled in Dovecot's config. Thanks for any hints. Daniel

[Dovecot] Temporary files
by Timo Sirainen 16 Jul '10

16 Jul '10

In v1.0 .. v1.1 deliver was writing incoming >128k mail to /tmp file (to avoid reading it all into memory). In v1.2 I moved it to user's home directory. This slowed deliveries for NFS users. Also people with filesystem quota had trouble since now user required twice as much available quota to save a message. The FS quota problem was "solved" by having quota-fs plugin change the default temp file path to /tmp. So why was the move made in the first place? Because a) some people had small (maybe ramfs) /tmp and Dovecot was eating it all up and b) to avoid any potential security issues with storing per-user files to a shared directory. I'm now thinking about a new setting (mail_temp_dir?) for v2.0 where these temp files would be stored (lda, lmtp, some others in future). Maybe the b) problem isn't that huge, so maybe there doesn't need to be a way to store them to user's home. So that leaves a) problem. Maybe the setting could default to /var/tmp instead of /tmp? That probably has more disk space available usually. (I hope /var/tmp is available everywhere?) Any thoughts?

[Dovecot] Ok, I've given up
by Chuck McManis 15 Jul '10

15 Jul '10

Sigh, In the interest of moving forward on this project I've given up trying to get Dovecot to support mailboxes, rather I've tweaked around in qmail and had it deliver into a mail directory on a disk, that isn't NFS mounted. That got me past the various locking complaints and "operation not supported" on home directories that were mounted from the NetApp filer. Going as vanilla as possible I've managed to both send an email that qmail delivered and fetch the email with my 3 test clients (Eudora, Thunderbird, and Evolution) (I know they are, in a sense, all variations on a theme but MUA monoculture seems to be inevitable these days). So a few questions for the other esteemed system operators here if you know the answer I'd love to hear it. Question 1) Are my user's passwords safe from prying eyes? First, part of this effort was to move off of an APOP infrastructure into something more secure against password eavesdropping. To that end I've configured Dovecot with simply: protocols = pop3 service pop3-login { inet_listener pop3s { port = 995 ssl = yes } } Note that there is NO port = 110 listener and yet Dovecot seems to listen there anyway. My question, can I be sure that it is not accepting non-SSL based connections? Attempts to use plaintext on 110 were rebuffed so that seems to be the case. My intent is that if my user is using this in an airport they won't give away their email password to a bad guy who is sniffing all the packets. Question 2) Is there any way to run dovecot from tcpserver ? One of the things I like is the program tcpserver. I like it because I can simply "not allow" large chunks of the internet to connect at all to certain ports. (I use this for SSH in particular since all the kids love throwing dictionary attacks around). I'd like to give my POP3 ports equivalent protection. I also like the logging facilities of the supervise / multilog service. To use this I'd need Dovecot to accept the connection handed to it, and not do the whole setsid daemon thing since tcpserver will start another one if needed. I can send the logging out to stderr (thanks!) and get the logging stuff but still wondering about the 'hand you a connection.' --Chuck

[Dovecot] help on migrating some old Maildirs
by Leonardo Rodrigues 14 Jul '10

14 Jul '10

Hi, i need to restore some old mail backups from a system i wasnt the admin. Emails are on Maildir, which i'm using on the actual server, so should be no big deal. I'm just thinking of copying files from the folders i need, from the old backup, to the specific dirs on the actual system. buuuut, watching the backup, i noticed that LOTS of files on the Maildirs do not have the S= parameters on its name nor W=. For example: 1230230396.V80bI4e007fM790805.correio.domain.com.br:2, 1230463524.V80bI4e0080M837823.correio.domain.com.br:2, 1230571206.V80bI4e0081M519106.correio.domain.com.br:2, 1231170098.V80bI4e0083M519957.correio.domain.com.br:2, 1231682500.V80bI4e0084M584988.correio.domain.com.br:2, files from the actual system looks like: 1278311553.M754372P13693.correio.domain.com.br,S=5742,W=5864:2, 1278668323.M110437P31421.correio.domain.com.br,S=4489,W=4590:2, 1278311669.M981814P13835.correio.domain.com.br,S=7404,W=7563:2, 1278669074.M556000P31506.correio.domain.com.br,S=4397,W=4504:2, i've already tested copying those files to a current Maildir and it works just fine, no problem at all on that. There's no problem on the restore of those messages itself. Anyway, my questions are .... 1) do the lack of S= and W= parameters will negatively impact on something ? Quota calculation comes to my head about that .... as i'll have to restore several thousands of messages, i'm worried about negative impacts on anything 2) is there any way of having dovecot to calculating the S= and W= parameters and renaming those files and, thus, avoiding some negative impact caused by the lack of them ? i'm using dovecot 1.2.11 ...... thanks ! -- Atenciosamente / Sincerily, Leonardo Rodrigues Solutti Tecnologia http://www.solutti.com.br Minha armadilha de SPAM, NÃO mandem email gertrudes(a)solutti.com.br My SPAMTRAP, do not email it

[Dovecot] Director proxy timeout
by Brad Davidson 14 Jul '10

14 Jul '10

Timo, Is the director proxy inactivity timeout configurable? I just recently attempted to switch our production webmail's imapproxy system to use a pool of two directors and ran into problems with it apparently disconnecting them unexpectedly. I don't believe that it IDLEs, I think it just UNSELECTs to reset the state and then keeps the connection open until it's used again, or until a configurable delay has elapsed, after which it logs out on its own. I've got the imapproxy inactivity delay set to 300 seconds, and it seems like the director is disconnecting them before that time is up. I haven't had the same problem when imapproxy connects directly to the backend servers, which are running 1.2.12. On the webmail system, imapproxy is logging a LOT of: Jul 11 21:10:21 cc-mailapps1 in.imapproxyd[28477]: IMAP_Line_Read(): connection closed prematurely. The director shows: Jul 11 21:10:14 cc-popmap7p dovecot: imap-login: proxy(jacintha): disconnecting 172.25.142.164 The backend server shows: Jul 11 21:10:14 cc-popmap2p dovecot: imap: user=<jacintha>, rip=10.142.0.162, pid=8629: Connection closed bytes=855/46109 Roundcube seems to handle the disconnects pretty badly, leaving a bunch of Apache processes chewing up CPU time. -Brad

[Dovecot] domain quota dictionary
by alex 14 Jul '10

14 Jul '10

Hi I just configure dovecot with the second dictionary for the domain quota dict { quotadict = mysql:/usr/local/etc/dovecot-quota.conf quota_domain = mysql:/usr/local/etc/dovecot-quota-domain.conf } plugin { quota = dict:user::proxy::quotadict quota2 = dict:domain:%d:proxy::quota_domain } and the dovecot-quota-domain.conf looks like this : connect = host=xxx dbname=xxx user=xxxx password=xxxx map { pattern = priv/quota/storage table = domain_quota username_field = domain value_field = used_quota } map { pattern = priv/quota/messages table = domain_quota username_field = domain value_field = messages } The problem is that the dictionary table gets updated only with the first mailbox informations (quota and messages for the first mailbox within domain that is accessed). I suppose that have something to do with the pattern but I can't find any docs for what the pattern must look in the case of a domain quota dictionary. Can anybody help me with a working example or some docs. Alex

[Dovecot] Impossible to share INBOX with other users
by Daniel Stoye 14 Jul '10

14 Jul '10

Hello, i am currently testing Dovecot 2.0 rc1 with Maildir format, and it seems impossible to share the Inbox of one user with another user. user1 shares Inbox with user2 user2 makes List command: 1 list "" "*" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Sent" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "AutoCleanSpam" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Trash" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Drafts" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "INBOX" * LIST (\Noselect \HasNoChildren) "/" "FremdeOrdner" 1 OK List completed. INBOX of user1 which was shared is missing! user1 shares Trash/test with user2: user2 makes List command: 1 list "" "*" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Sent" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "AutoCleanSpam" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Trash" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Drafts" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "INBOX" * LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "/" "FremdeOrdner" * LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "/" "FremdeOrdner/user1" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "FremdeOrdner/user1/Trash/test" 1 OK List completed. Trash/test is there, INBOX of user1 is still missing! Filesystem structure is as folled: ~user1/maildir/dovecot-acl: user=user2 ilrws ~user1/maildir/dovecot-acl-list: 1278592283 Trash/test Now there is the following problem: ~user1/maildir/dovecot-acl-list BEFORE list command of user2: 1278592732 INBOX 1278592283 Trash/test ~user1/maildir/dovecot-acl-list AFTER list command of user2: 1278592283 Trash/test It seems, that after user2 makes the list command, the acl for INBOX is gone missing.

by Timo Sirainen 14 Jul '10

14 Jul '10

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/rc/dovecot-2.0.rc2.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/rc/dovecot-2.0.rc2.tar.gz.sig Largest fixes since rc1: - Fixed a crash with empty mail_plugins - Fixed sharing INBOX to other users - mdbox: Rebuilding storage was broken in rc1 - dsync was broken for remote syncs in rc1 - director+LMTP proxy wasn't working correctly - v1.x config parser failed with some settings if pigeonhole wasn't installed. - virtual: If non-matching messages weren't expunged within same session, they never got expunged. Now that the stupidest mistakes are fixed, perhaps this release will do better :)

[Dovecot] Migrating to dovecot configuration questions
by Adam 14 Jul '10

14 Jul '10

I am currently running a mail server on an earlier version of Red Hat Advanced Server, sendmail and UW IMAP (imap-2007e). I am considering changing to Dovecot for IMAP but have a few configuration questions in regards to a hashed directory setup. Right now the mail spool for everyone's mailbox is located in /var/mail/first letter of email address/second letter of email address, for example ajaym would be found in /var/mail/a/j ,email address john would be in /var/mail/j/o and so on..... Most users using IMAP have a home directory where they can store their personal folders, trash, sent items, etc.. in /home/username. I am looking for some configuration information on making a smooth transition from UW IMAP to Dovecot and keeping the existing directory structure. Any info or suggestions?? Thanks Adam -

[Dovecot] mailbox_storage_vfuncs: mailbox_open -> ? in 2.0
by Trever L. Adams 13 Jul '10

13 Jul '10

Hello, I am working on fixing dovecot-antispam to work with dovecot 2.0. I am down to three errors/warnigns that concern me. The one I need help from those more familiar with dovecot internals is in the subject. What happened to mailbox_open? Did it disappear? Did it get renamed? It appears that I am needing to override some methods: if (need_folder_hook) { /* override save_init to override want_mail, we need that */ box->v.save_begin = antispam_save_begin; box->v.save_finish = antispam_save_finish; box->v.transaction_begin = antispam_mailbox_transaction_begin; box->v.transaction_commit = antispam_mailbox_transaction_commit; box->v.transaction_rollback = antispam_mailbox_transaction_rollback; box->v.copy = antispam_copy; } if (need_keyword_hook) box->v.mail_alloc = antispam_mailbox_mail_alloc; Thank you for any help.

[Dovecot] list=children versus alpine
by Matthias Rieber 13 Jul '10

13 Jul '10

Hi, when I add a collection in Alpine, Apline verifies the existence of the added folder/namespace, like for instance adding 'common.': 0a LIST "common." "" 0b LIST "" common Common is a shared folder. Some folder are available under that namespace. With list=yes Alpine can add the collection, with list=children it's not possible. Alpine thinks that the folder doesn't exist and it tries to create it. This results in a "Namespace already exists." error. 'LIST "" common' seems to return different results. I expected that list=children and list=all behave identical as long as there are folders in that namespace. Regards, Matthias

[Dovecot] Master Users
by Ben Watts 13 Jul '10

13 Jul '10

Greetings, My company is currently using dovecot with ldap, I am in the process of migrating this over to Exchange. However, to make the process a lot smoother I need to make use of the master user function of dovecot to enable access to other users mailboxes without needing their password. I've gone through the documentation but it looks like this might not be possible with an ldap backend. The wiki isnt exactly crystal clear on where the master user config needs to go. I've generated a passdb file with an admin user and password. Any information that would go to help would be very welcome. Cheers --

[Dovecot] Dovecot "deliver" with multiple UIDs (security question)
by Buzai Andras 12 Jul '10

12 Jul '10

Hi all, I have a question related to using the Dovecot LDA (deliver) with a multiple UID setup as described on the http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA page in the "Multiple UIDs" section. I run Postfix (virtual mailboxes) + Dovecot using multiple UIDs (one UID per virtual domain owner). I configured Postfix to use Dovecot Deliver for the virtual transport. To overcome the problem of multiple UIDs I used the solution described on the http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA page in the "Multiple UIDs" section. I used the "sudo" solution as described on the page. I only call the deliver with sudo from inside Postfix and the sudoer user is only allowed to sudo on the deliver binary. My question is: Is this solution secure? Can It be used on a production environment? What exactly happens in the background from the time I call "deliver" with sudo, to the time the delivery is finished? The configuration works. The emails get delivered but I am concerned about the security of this setup :(. Thank you, Buzai Andras

[Dovecot] TLS Issue
by Leander S. 12 Jul '10

12 Jul '10

Hi, I use Postfix & Dovecot with TLS / SSL - it authenticates / works fine - except I'm always getting this ugly SSL cert warning messages mit MTAs. It says that the following: "You have attempted to establish a connection with "server". However, the security certificate presented belongs to "*.server". It is possible, though unlikely, that someone may be trying to intercept your communication with this web site." Is there a serverside solution that I wont get that any more? Why is * as a wildcard not working? Iwonder How gMail or other providers solve that issue Regards

[Dovecot] deliver and root user

On RHEL5, dovecot 1.0.7, I have set up sendmail to use `deliver` for my local mda. It keeps giving me this error for the root user though: Jul 12 12:51:29 mail sendmail[4105]: o699225f001348: to=<root(a)localhost.localdomain>, ctladdr=<root(a)localhost.localdomain> (0/0), delay=3+08:49:26, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=local, pri=7502879, dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: local mailer (/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver) exited with EX_TEMPFAIL I've tried to `chmod +s /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver`, which I read might fix some of those issues, but it didn't. Anyways, here are the important changes I made in my config files for using `deliver`: == sendmail.mc == ... dnl ## Should I modify this?? define(`PROCMAIL_MAILER_PATH', `/usr/bin/procmail')dnl ... dnl ## Should I have "localhost.localdomain" here? It currently is not. LOCAL_DOMAIN(`mydomain.com') ... FEATURE(`local_procmail', `/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver',`/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d $u') MODIFY_MAILER_FLAGS(`LOCAL', `-f') ... MAILER(smtp) MAILER(procmail) MAILER(local) == END == == dovecot.conf == ... protocol lda { postmaster_address = postmaster(a)mydomain.com hostname = mydomain.com } == END == Any ideas, or do you need more information? -- Thanks, Brad Landis

[Dovecot] Dovecot-lda and Postfix virtual
by D F 12 Jul '10

12 Jul '10

Hello, I'm currently testing Dovecot 2.0RC2 and I have a problem migrating my current configuration. Current configuration is : - Dovecot as IMAP server - Postfix as SMTP/LDA with virtual users. main.cf is : #----------------------------------------------------------- # inet_protocols = all myhostname = mail.domain.tld mydomain = domain.tld myorigin = $mydomain inet_interfaces = all mydestination = localhost local_transport = virtual local_recipient_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/domain.tld virtual_mailbox_base = /home/mail virtual_mailbox_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/domain.tld virtual_mailbox_domains = domain.tld virtual_uid_maps = static:5000 virtual_gid_maps = static:5000 unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550 mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8, [::1]/128 smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP mailbox_size_limit = 0 message_size_limit = 0 virtual_mailbox_limit = 0 smtpd_helo_required = yes # smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_unauth_destination smtpd_helo_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_unknown_helo_hostname, reject_invalid_helo_hostname # debug_peer_level = 1 sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq setgid_group = postdrop html_directory = no manpage_directory = /usr/local/man sample_directory = /etc/postfix readme_directory = no queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix command_directory = /usr/sbin daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix mail_owner = postfix alternate_config_directories = /etc/postfix #----------------------------------------------------------- /etc/postfix/domain.tld looks like : #----------------------------------------------------------- # User denis(a)domain.tld /domain.tld/denis/ # Admin root(a)domain.tld /domain.tld/denis/.system/ dnsowner(a)domain.tld /domain.tld/denis/.system/ abuse(a)domain.tld /domain.tld/denis/.system/ postmaster(a)domain.tld /domain.tld/denis/.system/ #----------------------------------------------------------- Currently, I can send mails to denis(a)domain.tld or root(a)domain.tld and they are all accepted and placed in the right IMAP folder/subfolder. Now I'd like to use Dovecot as a LDA (I want to use Sieve). I first add "mailbox_command = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda" and "virtual_transport = dovecot" to postfix.conf. Then I add "dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=nobody:nobody argv=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -f ${sender} -d ${recipient}" to master.cf Here is my Dovecot config : #----------------------------------------------------------- listen = *, :: protocols = imap base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/ login_greeting = domain.tld IMAP ready. disable_plaintext_auth = no auth_mechanisms = plain auth_failure_delay = 2 secs mail_location = dbox:/home/mail/%d/%n default_login_user = dovenull default_internal_user = dovecot service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 143 } inet_listener imaps { port = 993 ssl = yes } } service auth { # Postfix smtp-auth unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { mode = 0666 user = postfix group = postfix } unix_listener auth-userdb { mode = 0666 user = nobody group = nobody } } passdb { driver = passwd-file args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/users.db } userdb { driver = passwd-file args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/users.db } ssl = no #----------------------------------------------------------- /usr/local/etc/dovecot/users.db looks like : #----------------------------------------------------------- denis@domain.tld:password:5000:5000::/home/mail/domain.tld/denis #----------------------------------------------------------- If I send a mail to denis(a)domain.tld it works great, if I send a mail to root(a)domain.tld, it tells the user is non-existent. Is it possible to work the way it used to and benefit from dovecot-lda ? I read http://wiki2.dovecot.org/LDA/Postfix but it seems none of the case looks like mine. Thank you in advance, Denis

[Dovecot] Can only see some folders of inbox
by He Llo 12 Jul '10

12 Jul '10

I've had a working system for ages now with Postfix/Dovecot/Squirrelmail. This evening the right hand pane of Squirrel Mail failed to complete with the Inbox selected but would show some of the other folders. I can also filter and access mail from the 'Invisible' inbox. Other mailboxes on the same server are fine. I've copied my version number below and the output of dovecot -n In the dovecot.log I can see lots of entries like: Warning I/O leak: 0x804d640 (13) or (15) and IMAP login killed with signal 15. I get the same behaviour if I connect with Outlook 2007 configured for IMAP. The mailbox has a lot of mail in it: easily a couple of GB. Very puzzled and would appreciate any help.

The message could not be sent because connecting to SMTP server foo.domainname.ca failed. The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections.

[Dovecot] maildir / deliver question
by Martin Waschbuesch 12 Jul '10

12 Jul '10

Hi all, I have the following situation: On a qmail toaster I am running (with dovecot 1.2.12 as the IMAP server), spam mail gets automatically put into a 'this might be spam' folder (per user). Now, every user has the opportunity to move that mail into either a 'learn as spam' or a 'this was ham' folder and the mail items will be treated accordingly. As a cronjob, I run a script that loops through all the users' folders and either learns as spam and deletes or learns as ham and moves back to the user's inbox. My questions now are these: 1.) Is there any danger regarding maildir consistency in directly moving mail items about? 2.) Could I somehow use deliver to move the mails? I think I can recall that other LDAs (maildrop?) allow for that? This would of course be preferred as the maildir cache would also still be optimized after the operation. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd really appreciate this. Thanks a lot for your help and this great tool!

Hey Everyone, I am running the new Dovecot 2.0 RC2. When I try to run 'doveadm quota recalc -A' I just get the usage info for doveadm. Running 'doveadm help quota' gives me the man page for the quota command, and I follow the man page examples as is. Is this feature not implemented yet? Or am I doing something wrong? I know quota is a "plugin" for the doveadm program, but there is no documentation on how to get this to load of if it needs to be loaded at all.

[Dovecot] Mercurial dovecot-2.0 branch change
by Timo Sirainen 10 Jul '10

10 Jul '10

I got tired of seeing the HEAD branch name in hg.dovecot.org (caused by the initial import from CVS), so I finally switched to "default" branch name where it doesn't show it. But apparently now everyone using dovecot-2.0 hg needs to switch to the default branch. You should see something like: ~/cvs/dovecot-2.0% hg pull -u .. not updating, since new heads added (run 'hg heads' to see heads, 'hg merge' to merge) Now give a command: hg up -C default Hopefully there won't be other problems with the change.

[Dovecot] LDA ignored
by Leander S. 10 Jul '10

10 Jul '10

Hi, my final goal is it to make use Dovecot's sieve modul - but unfortunately I'm not getting the LDA running as it is described in the Dovecot's wiki pages ... ;/ I've more and more getting the feeling that the LDA section in the configuration is completely ignored, cause whatever change I do in there is not being recognized at all - I could just type wildly arround in there - restart Dovecot and it will work. But the dovecot.conf is being used by Dovecot - cause changes to other sections are affecting Dovecot's behaviour ... it's really just the LDA section. I configured and compiled Dovecot with LDA & Managesieve. Otherwhise Dovecot / Postfix setup is running quite well - mail is being scanned by amavis and Spamassassin and delivered as it did before I added / changed the configs to the sieve related options ... It's very weired. I activated "mail_debug = yes" and the following shows up when I start Dovecot: Starting dovecot.

[Dovecot] I can receive but not send
by Dennis Clarke 09 Jul '10

09 Jul '10

I'm not too sure where to look here. I can access my mail via Dovecot and there is an initial requirement to accept an SSL key ( self signed ) however after I look in my inbox and read a piece of email ( via SeaMonkey eMail client ) I can not send. I simply get told that the server would not accept the smtp connection. I was hoping for a smtps connection but I'll take what I can get. Am I missing something obvious here ? -- Dennis

Hello, I'm testing Dovecot 2.0. I plan to use Dovecot 2.0 with thousands of domains per server. My user base is under virtual MySQL. Is there a way to make the LMTP not make query to MySQL for each message delivered ? I'm afraid that the MySQL server does not support the load.

However, configuring this behavior is an interesting issue. If the user log verbosity is configured in the Dovecot userdb, it may in many cases still only be configurable by the administrator. An alternative solution would be to provide the logging configuration directly in the Sieve script; analogous to the way Procmail handles this. This would give users direct control. However, the Sieve specification and its extensions currently define no such facility. In fact, both Sieve and ManageSieve don't provide any means for the user to control what is logged during script execution. This would require some new or custom (vnd.dovecot.) Sieve or ManageSieve extension. However, defining a new extension like that is rarely useful unless clients implement support for it. Another problem is that users need filesystem access or some other custom (HTTP) interface to read the logs. This can be problematic when virtual users are involved. This too could be mended with an extension to the ManageSieve protocol. Alternatively, the Pigeonhole TODO list mentions a solution that writes logs as messages in a special IMAP-accessible folder, but I'm still not sure how practical that is. The above considerations may warrant starting a draft RFC on controlling and accessing Sieve runtime logs. But, I'm deviating from the original issue... what is it that you truly need right now? And for the Dovecot list, any other ideas on the above? Regards, Stephan.

[Dovecot] trash folder (again)
by Holger Hegmanns 08 Jul '10

Hi, I read very intently all the issues related to imap trash folders, but either I didn't unerstand them or my problem is slightly different. I plan to migrate from cyrus to dovecot. I've executed the perl script cyrus2dovecot successfully with the substitution flag "-E 's/^\./.INBOX./'" cause I want to have all folders as subfolders of the INBOX. The vmail dir looks like this afterwards: drwxr-xr-x 11 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 . drwxr-xr-x 3 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .. drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.Drafts drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.Sent drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.Templates drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.Trash drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.blah drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.blub drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 cur -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 119 Jul 8 14:19 dovecot-uidlist drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 new -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 80 Jul 8 14:19 subscriptions drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 tmp After the first access with Thunderbird, regardless of the version (TB2x or TB3x) and regardless of using TB with an empty profile or a well filled up, the directory looks different: drwxr-xr-x 12 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:21 . drwxr-xr-x 3 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .. drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.Drafts drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.Sent drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.Templates drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.Trash drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.blah drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.blub drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:21 .Trash drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 cur -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 119 Jul 8 14:21 dovecot-uidlist -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 17408 Jul 8 14:21 dovecot.index.cache -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 448 Jul 8 14:21 dovecot.index.log drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 new -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 86 Jul 8 14:21 subscriptions drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 tmp A Trash folder was added by TB, I guess.

The preexisting Trash folder (I created all the standard folders with cyradm by hand) below the INBOX seems sufficient to TB, no further Trash can was created and here all input fields are filled up as followed: private namespace "INBOX." shared "" other users "user."

I'm setting up shared mailboxes as in http://wiki.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Shared, and have set ACLs as described on that page to share one folder of user A's mailbox with User B. However, I'm struggling to get Thunderbird for userb(a)example.com to read the shared folder of usera(a)example.com. Has anyone done this? Thunderbird 3.0, Dovecot 1.2.11 Thanks, Keith

[Dovecot] Eronious comment in sample Director configuration
by Brad Davidson 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

The sample Director configuration (10-director.conf) says that director_servers and director_mail_servers can be lists of either IPs or hostnames: # List of IPs or hostnames to all director servers, including ourself. # Ports can be specified as ip:port. The default port is the same as # what director service's inet_listener is using. #director_servers = # List of IPs or hostnames to all backend mail servers. Ranges are allowed # too, like 10.0.0.10-10.0.0.30. #director_mail_servers = However, if I use hostnames, it bails out with an "Invalid IP address" error. It also seems to be confusing the dashes in my hostnames for address range specifications. Obviously hostnames are not currently supported, but I thought I'd mention it so the documentation could be updated. -Brad

Just an FYI - if I have a two-node director ring, I get this when I start up the second node: Jul 7 16:59:38 oh-popmap7 dovecot: director: Error: Received SYNC from 10.142.0.162:1234/left (seq=6) while already synced Totally expected since it's already received the same SYNC from the right side, but since I thought I heard you say that "any errors that Dovecot logs are bugs" I thought I'd report it ;) For that matter, it also logs errors when I shut down / restart the second node: Jul 7 16:59:37 oh-popmap7 dovecot: director: Error: Director 10.142.0.162:1234/left disconnected Jul 7 16:59:37 oh-popmap7 dovecot: director: Error: Director 10.142.0.162:1234/right disconnected Jul 7 16:59:37 oh-popmap7 dovecot: director: Error: director(10.142.0.162:1234/out): connect() failed: Connection refused -Brad

[Dovecot] Patch for second fs quota under solaris
by Juergen Obermann 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

Hallo. We use dovecot 1.2.12 running under Solaris 9 and wanted to set up a second filesystem quota root because the mail folders are in the users home directories and the inboxes of all users are in /var/mail. This is defined in dovecot.conf: quota = fs:Home-Verzeichnis:noenforcing quota2 = fs:INBOX:noenforcing:mount=/var/mail This second quota did not work, but now I found the reason why. The mountpoint_get in src/lib/mountpoint.c needs to call resetmnttab to find the filesystem for the second quota root (see man resetmnttab). The following patches correct this and also adds some debugging code to src/plugins/quota/quota-fs.c to show the processing of quota2. These patches are only needed for Solaris with filesystem quotas. dovecot-1.2.12 ############## *** ./src/lib/mountpoint.c.orig Mon Jan 25 00:14:17 2010 --- ./src/lib/mountpoint.c Thu Jul 8 11:21:11 2010 *************** *** 164,169 **** --- 164,170 ---- i_error("fopen(%s) failed: %m", MTAB_PATH); return -1; } + resetmnttab(f); while ((getextmntent(f, &ent.ext, sizeof(ent.ext))) == 0) { if (hasmntopt(&ent.ent, MNTOPT_IGNORE) != NULL) continue; *** ./src/plugins/quota/quota-fs.c.orig Sat Jun 19 00:12:44 2010 --- ./src/plugins/quota/quota-fs.c Wed Jul 7 16:54:20 2010 *************** *** 249,256 **** continue; mount = fs_quota_mountpoint_get(root->storage_mount_path); ! if (mount != NULL) fs_quota_mount_init(root, mount); } } --- 249,263 ---- continue; mount = fs_quota_mountpoint_get(root->storage_mount_path); ! if (mount != NULL) { ! if (quota->set->debug) { ! i_info("fs quota2 add storage dir = %s", root->storage_mount_path); ! i_info("fs quota2 block device = %s", mount->device_path); ! i_info("fs quota2 mount point = %s", mount->mount_path); ! i_info("fs quota2 mount type = %s", mount->type); ! } fs_quota_mount_init(root, mount); + } } } dovecot-2.0.rc1 ############### *** ./src/lib/mountpoint.c.orig Mon Jan 25 00:16:12 2010 --- ./src/lib/mountpoint.c Thu Jul 8 11:24:10 2010 *************** *** 164,169 **** --- 164,170 ---- i_error("fopen(%s) failed: %m", MTAB_PATH); return -1; } + resetmnttab(f); while ((getextmntent(f, &ent.ext, sizeof(ent.ext))) == 0) { if (hasmntopt(&ent.ent, MNTOPT_IGNORE) != NULL) continue; *** ./src/plugins/quota/quota-fs.c.orig Fri Jul 2 21:32:40 2010 --- ./src/plugins/quota/quota-fs.c Wed Jul 7 12:52:38 2010 *************** *** 264,271 **** continue; mount = fs_quota_mountpoint_get(root->storage_mount_path); ! if (mount != NULL) fs_quota_mount_init(root, mount); } } --- 264,278 ---- continue; mount = fs_quota_mountpoint_get(root->storage_mount_path); ! if (mount != NULL) { ! if (quota->set->debug) { ! i_debug("fs quota2 add mailbox dir = %s", root->storage_mount_path); ! i_debug("fs quota2 block device = %s", mount->device_path); ! i_debug("fs quota2 mount point = %s", mount->mount_path); ! i_debug("fs quota2 mount type = %s", mount->type); ! } fs_quota_mount_init(root, mount); + } } } Greetings, Jürgen Obermann -- Hochschulrechenzentrum der | Mail: Juergen.Obermann(a)hrz.uni-giessen.de Justus-Liebig-Universitaet | WWW: http://www.uni-giessen.de/obermann Heinrich-Buff-Ring 44 | Tel: 0641-99-13054 (0641-99-13001) D-35392 Giessen, Germany | Fax: 0641-99-13009

[Dovecot] dovecot 2.0 rc1 missing folder INBOX
by Burckhard Schmidt 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

Hello, I have maildir format, and usually I found a folder "INBOX" in older versions of dovecot. Now I get this folder structure: ~user/maildir with folder new tmp cur Drafts (auto generated) Sent (auto) Trash (auto) This happens if a first email arrives or the user logs in the first time. If I connect direct to the server and send the command 1 list "" "*" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Sent" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Trash" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Drafts" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "INBOX" * LIST (\Noselect \HasNoChildren) "/" "FremdeOrdner" 1 OK List completed. Here "INBOX" is listed. Is this correct no folder "INBOX"? -- Regards --- Burckhard Schmidt

[Dovecot] problems with sieve under 2.0...
by Perry E. Metzger 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

I'm experimenting with a 2.0 setup, using the sieve plugin for 2.0 from mercurial. Without sieve, everything seems to work fine. Once I put in a .dovecot.sieve file, though, nothing gets delivered, with the only hint of what's going wrong being this mess in syslog: Jul 7 13:18:00 bellman dovecot: lda(perry): Panic: file index-transaction.c: line 70 (index_transaction_init): assertion failed: (box->opened) Jul 7 13:18:00 bellman dovecot: lda(perry): Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0 [0x7f55e07fedd2] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_syslog_fatal_handler+0x2b) [0x7f55e07fee7b] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_error+0) [0x7f55e07ff1e3] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0 [0x7f55e0cbdc31] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(index_transaction_begin+0x3f) [0x7f55e0cbdc7f] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mailbox_transaction_begin+0x13) [0x7f55e0c750d3] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-sieve.so.0 [0x7f55df800724] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-sieve.so.0(sieve_result_execute+0x173) [0x7f55df7f9183] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-sieve.so.0(sieve_execute+0x7d) [0x7f55df807b5d] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lib90_sieve_plugin.so [0x7f55dfa3bbed] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-lda.so.0(mail_deliver+0x44) [0x7f55e0a41e84] -> /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda(main+0x692) [0x402f72] -> /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe6) [0x7f55e00831a6] -> /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda [0x402819] Ideas? -- Perry E.

[Dovecot] Thunderbird problem
by Frank Bonnet 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

Hello Some users had occasionally a problem with Thunderbird , some random emails with attachement(s) cannot be read anymore the email appears empty and TB seems to enter in an infinite loop saying it is downloading the message The only solution I found was : 1 - stop thunderbird on the client machine 2 - remove the .imap user's directory 3 - restart thunderbird on the client machine After doing that all emails re-appear normally and attachements are readable/downloadable again. ALL our clients use the IMAP(S) protocol. Anyone had the same problem ? Thanks F

[Dovecot] Australian Internet Filtering Position
by Ryan Halloway 07 Jul '10

07 Jul '10

List, With sites like this appearing everywhere: http://www.dontfilterme.com and http://nocleanfeed.com/ Just trying to get a general opinion with what everyone thinks of the filtering situation in Australia. Whether you believe its a good thing or a bad thing or you don't really care. I'm writing a letter to an Australian MP (Member of Parliament) and I want to get some actual opinions of what other systems administrators think of the internet filter, even if they are not in Australia. Not only at a technical aspect but at an opinion aspect as well. Either reply on list or pm me. I just want to get a general idea. Thanks, Ryan.

[Dovecot] OT: Sieve + Forward as Attachment
by Jerry 07 Jul '10

07 Jul '10

I know that this is technically not a Dovecot problem; however, I was wondering if anyone knew if 'sieve' had been updated with the ability to 'forward as attachment' a received document. I believe it has the ability to forward a document; however, I need the ability to forward it as an attachment if possible. Also I believe, somewhat due to my asking for them, that sieve exits with appropriate error codes. Is there a listing of these codes, other than in the actual program code itself, of what those exit codes are? -- Jerry ✌ Dovecot.user(a)seibercom.net Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.

It appears that the lda + sieve does not respect the userdb_mail setting, though the imap server does(!?). Is this expected behavior? Perry -- Perry E. Metzger perry(a)piermont.com

[Dovecot] Manually creating folders from terminal
by A. J. Giurato 07 Jul '10

07 Jul '10

I'm trying to use a script to create a mailbox structure. I'm aware that the structure should look like: ~/.maildir/.INBOX/{cur,tmp,new} ~/.maildir/.INBOX.Subfolder1/{cur,tmp,new} ~/.maildir/.INBOX.Subfolder2/{cur,tmp,new} ~/.maildir/.INBOX.Subfolder2.Subsubfolder1/{cur,tmp,new} ... I have tried manually making those directories and using the "maildirmake.dovecot" command that my system has. I feel that in the past, folders I have made this way worked. However, now none are showing up in my clients. In Thunderbird, they aren't even listed on the "Subscribe" window for me to enable. Using Squirrelmail doesn't show them either. Essentially what I am doing is taking my current IMAP dir structure, and making a copy in a subfolder called ".INBOX.Archive.<year>" to archive my old mail. Thus, .INBOX.Subfolder1.Subfolder2 becomes .INBOX.Archive.2009.Subfolder1.Subfolder2. My system: Ubuntu 8.04 # 1.0.10: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S ssl_listen: * disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login mail_privileged_group: mail mail_access_groups: mail default_mail_env: ~/.maildir mail_location: ~/.maildir auth default: mechanisms: plain login passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix
