[Dovecot] convert Plugin Error
by Bradlee Landis 14 Jun '10

14 Jun '10

I am getting an error when using the convert plugin for dovecot. Jun 14 13:27:20 mail dovecot: IMAP(user): Mailbox conversion: rename(/home/user/mail, /home/user/mail-converted) failed: Directory not empty Dovecot creates mail-converted, but does not delete mail completely for some reason. It continues to add a message from the mbox to Maildir format, creating duplicates every time I check my email. I can fix it by deleting mail-converted, but I don't want this to happen to other users on the system. Does anyone have a clue as to why it's doing this, and what I can do to fix it? I can send you my mbox file and home directory structure if you'd like to take a gander at it. Dovecot v1.0.7 Scientific Linux 5.4 (Importing mbox files from RHEL 3.8). -- Thanks, Brad Landis

[Dovecot] Ubuntu upgrade to 10.04 --> dovecot no longer working
by HenkR 14 Jun '10

14 Jun '10

Hi, Last year I installed dovecot on my Ubuntu V9 system 64 bit system. I use it to store emails from several clients in the LAN using IMAP. Last week I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04. Now Dovecot is no longer working. It started with messages about sieve, so I disabled sieve in the configuration file (did not use it in the past, don't know what it is). Dovecot can now be started without errors or warnings, but I cannot connect in the client. I get a message saying "could not connect to server: connection refused". Can anybody help? kind regards, Henk -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Ubuntu-upgrade-to-10.04---%3E-dovecot-no-longer-worki… Sent from the Dovecot mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Dovecot] zlib delivery in 2.0beta6

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/beta/dovecot-2.0.beta6.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/beta/dovecot-2.0.beta6.tar.gz.sig Unfortunately this still isn't rc1 yet, but the next one will be, I promise :) Basically all of the important changes are done now. The TODO list for rc1 is: - Test and fix dsync bugs - Finish director - Add man pages started by Pascal Volk. BTW. He asked for some feedback about them, but got only one reply: http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2010-June/049438.html I've also read through and answered nearly all of my email backlog. If you haven't gotten a reply, resend the mail. Some changes since beta5: - Added director: http://blog.dovecot.org/2010/05/new-director-service-in-v20-for-nfs.html - IMAP: Added STATUS (X-VSIZE) command for easily getting mailbox's virtual size. - Lots and lots of doveadm improvements and new commands - Postlogin scripts now need to be executed using "script-login", not "script" binary. - Quota warnings are executed now asynchronously using the new script binary. See http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.0/rev/a179fcbbf960 - Added passdb static for proxying and similar configurations - TLS SNI configuration must now be done using local_name {} blocks, not local {} - lib-storage plugin API changes, external plugins must be updated to work correctly - Lots of fixes

[Dovecot] Shared Mailbox Questions
by Chris Hobbs 11 Jun '10

11 Jun '10

Hi All, I've pored over the wiki, read through the archive, and have what I believe should be a working set-up, but I can't seem to get my shared namespace to work correctly. Any guidance would be much appreciated. I started off using a flat file for acl_shared_dict and ran into the same problem recently reported with the shared-database file getting chown'd to the first user to touch it with 0600 permissions. So I thought I'd give it a whirl with sqlite. Here are the (hopefully) relevant bits from dovecot -n (the entire output is posted below). This is dovecot 1.2.9 running on a freshly installed ubuntu 10.4 server: namespace: type: shared separator: / prefix: shared/%%u/ location: maildir:/home/staff/%%n/Maildir:INDEX=~/Maildir/shared/%%u list: children plugin: acl_shared_dict: proxy::acl dict: acl: sqlite:/etc/dovecot/acl-shared-dict.conf acl-shared-dict.conf looks like this: connect = /home/staff/dovecot/acl-shared-ns.sqlite map { table = acl_shared_ns pattern = shared/shared-boxes/user/$to/$from value_field = has_visible_folders fields { from_user = $from to_user = $to } } /home/staff/dovecot/acl-shared-ns.sqlite is set 0666, and I can add records to it from the sqlite command line as a normal user. The table was created with: CREATE TABLE acl_shared_ns (from_user, to_user, has_visible_folders, PRIMARY KEY (from_user) ON CONFLICT REPLACE); When I attempt to SETACL from a telnet imap session, I get the following errors in mail.err: Jun 9 22:10:23 imap2 dovecot: dict: dict sql iterate failed: file is encrypted or is not a database Jun 9 22:10:23 imap2 dovecot: dict: dict sql iterate failed: file is encrypted or is not a database Jun 9 22:10:23 imap2 dovecot: dict: sqlite: exec(INSERT INTO acl_shared_ns (has_visible_folders,to_user,from_user) VALUES ('1','chobbs','IOchoa')) failed: file is encrypted or is not a database (26) Jun 9 22:10:23 imap2 dovecot: IMAP(IOchoa): read(/var/run/dovecot/dict-server) failed: Remote disconnected Jun 9 22:10:23 imap2 dovecot: IMAP(IOchoa): acl: dict commit failed Jun 9 22:10:23 imap2 dovecot: dovecot: child 8268 (dict) killed with signal 11 (core dumps disabled) Running that same "INSERT INTO..." as the IOchoa user from the sqlite command line works just fine. At this point any further deleteacl or setacl commands simply hang, presumably because there's no longer a running dict process.

[Dovecot] "failed to store into mailbox 'INBOX': Not enough disk space." with large mail

Hello, I am having this error message on some rare emails with more than 6 mb or so. Neither the dovecot server nor the filesystem where the maildir resides have any quota or are full at the time of delivering.

[Dovecot] question about rpc quota reporting 1.2.11
by Tom Lieuallen 11 Jun '10

11 Jun '10

Timo, thank you for the reply to my question about shared folders yesterday. I'm now trying to get quota reporting working consistently. This is with dovecot 1.2.11 in solaris 10 sparc. We have local quotas for the mail spool (/a1) and quotas for home directories. All are UFS and have rpc (rquota) working fine. With just this: protocol imap { mail_plugins = quota imap_quota } My mail client (thunderbird 3.0.4) reported the home directory quota. So then I added this: plugin { quota = fs:INBOX:mount=/a1 quota2 = fs:Home:mount=%h } First, I had to make /a1/quotas world readable, otherwise I'd get this error: open(/a1/quotas) failed: Permission denied I'm getting the same type of error with the quota2 line now: open(/nfs/rack/u4/quotas) failed: Permission denied Since the home directory quota worked without the plugin configuration, my guess is that the plugin config is not using rpc. I can't find any way to force it to use rpc. Again, if I make that 'quotas' file world readable (which I believe isn't good practice), dovecot stops complaining. Also, what should I expect to see on the client? Will dovecot report only one quota (the one that's closer to the limit), or will it report both? I've only seen the first quota in thunderbird, but that could easily be a client issue. thank you Tom Lieuallen Oregon State University

[Dovecot] null errors from 2.0.beta5
by Mike Abbott 11 Jun '10

11 Jun '10

When my dovecot-2.0.beta5 auth module logs a 552-byte debug message, the message is split into two lines and also a null error message: Wed Jun 9 23:44:29 gromit dovecot[58892]: auth: Error: I think this has to do with the use of PIPE_BUF (512) sized buffers in the logging code, and the !line_is_ok() case in i_failure_parse_line(). Could you please remove the null error message? Just a nuisance, nothing serious. Thanks.

[Dovecot] lazy-expunge acl bug?
by Martin Ott 11 Jun '10

11 Jun '10

Hi, we've defined a public namespace "shared" and use the acl and lazy-expunge plugins among others. The problem is, that a mailbox is deleted by the DELETE-command without the x-flag to be set (# 1.2.9): a myrights shared/aclDeleteTest * MYRIGHTS "shared/aclDeleteTest" lrsed a OK Myrights completed. b delete shared/aclDeleteTest b OK Delete completed. c myrights shared/aclDeleteTest c NO Mailbox doesn't exist: aclDeleteTest This behavior should be different and the mailbox should not be deleted, should it? Is there a fast workaround? Without the e-flag, mailboxes can't be deleted. But as some users should be allowed to use the expunge operation, it's no option to remove the e-flag... thx Martin

[Dovecot] problems with shared mailboxes and other general issues
by Tom Lieuallen 11 Jun '10

11 Jun '10

I'm also having beginner's troubles with shared mailboxes with dovecot 1.2.11. I've used the TestInstallation instructions for connecting to the imap port via openssl and issuing the setacl/getacl commands. Those appear to be fine. I'm having real difficulty with the acl_shared_dict configuration. I'd prefer to just use a flat file, as I don't anticipate using shared folders very frequently. I don't need a database and would greatly prefer not to have a dependency on our database service. So, with this setting: acl_shared_dict = file:/private/dovecot/var/etc/shared-mailboxes The '../var/etc' directory is something like 755. I have to create the file first and make it 666. When it is updated, ownership & permissions are changed such that the user giving acl permissions then owns the file and it's 600. I tried setting it back to 644 afterward, so other users could read it, but they tried setting a lock in that dir as well. I tried this: acl_shared_dict = file:/private/dovecot/var/etc/shared-list/shared-mailboxes-%u Then I made shared-list have '1777' permissions. Permissions-wise, this will now work, including locks, but I'm guessing this is just plain wrong and I still can't verify access. My second choice was to use sqlite for this acl_shared_dict, but, even though I compiled dovecot with sqlite support and 'ldd' shows that '../libexec/dict' is linked against sqlite libraries, when I tried this config: acl_shared_dict = sqlite:/private/dovecot/etc/acl-shared-dict.conf I get this, and dovecot fails to start up. EUnknown dict module: sqlite I question whether I can use sqlite for acl_shared_dict. Furthermore, in this vein, I don't really know what the shared namespace should even look like. I've been trying the imap commands LIST and MYRIGHTS to verify access, but there are simply no examples. I'd rather expect this to work: x myrights shared/fromuser/folder but all I get is mailbox doesn't exist. I know 'shared' is the namespace, but I just don't know how it should really be referred to. Personally, I can live without the acl_shared_dict (from what I understand). I don't need to see the shared path for subscription, I'd just manually add the folder path to the .subscriptions file for the handful of users that need it. I just don't think it's working, though. On a related note, I thought I'd increase debugging to see if that helped out any. When I change 'mail_debug' to 'yes', as soon as I issue the imap login command, it logs some stuff, then kicks me out. Jun 09 15:57:53 IMAP(tom2): Info: acl: initializing backend with data: vfile Jun 09 15:57:53 IMAP(tom2): Info: acl: acl username = tom2 Jun 09 15:57:53 IMAP(tom2): Info: acl: owner = 1 Jun 09 15:57:53 dovecot: Error: child 6000 (imap) killed with signal 11 (core dumps disabled) I would assume this error is causing my problems, but for all I know, it could be a side-effect of verbose debugging -- to just terminate. I see nothing about that in the docs, though. imap works fine without verbose logging, so I'm baffled. I have been frustrated by the shared namespace documentation. I've been through it again and again, but haven't found the answers I've been looking for. Here is the relevant configuration: namespace shared { location = mbox:%%h/mail/shared:INDEX=%%h/mail/shared/.imap # everything else defaults } protocol imap { mail_plugins = quota imap_quota acl imap_acl } protocol lda { mail_plugins = acl } plugin { acl = vfile acl_shared_dict = file:/private/dovecot/var/etc/shared-list/shared-mailboxes-%u }

[Dovecot] Question about directory hashing
by Javier de Miguel Rodríguez 11 Jun '10

11 Jun '10

Hello I have been reading http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailLocation and http://wiki.dovecot.org/Variables and I do not fully understand the directory hashing feature. I want to migrate > 70.000 users from Sun Messaging to Dovecot using imapsync. I have tested with mail_location=maildir:/buzones/us.es/%1Hu/%2.1u/%n but I get the following directory tree: `-- 0 |-- - |-- 1 |-- 2 |-- 3 |-- 8 |-- _ |-- a |-- ab |-- b |-- c |-- d |-- e |-- ev |-- f |-- g |-- h |-- i |-- ie |-- is |-- j |-- jb |-- jj |-- jp |-- js |-- k |-- l |-- m |-- mb |-- n |-- o |-- p |-- pp |-- q |-- r |-- rm |-- s |-- t |-- u |-- v |-- w |-- x |-- y `-- z The ideal directory layout should be the following: First directory level: Letters from a to z Second directory level: Numbers from 0 to 200 Third directory level: %n (username without @domain) How can I achive this directory layout (or other optimized for 70.000 users) . I use ext3 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 with directory indexes on. Regards Javier de Miguel

[Dovecot] Fail2ban

I have fail2ban working for EVERYTHING else except dovecot. I have tried using my own custom regex in conjunction with the regex on the dovecot.org site. Neither are picked up by fail2ban and I'm trying to use an imminent attack agaist dovecot, going on now, to my advantage to see when I get the right regexp. Here are my current ones: failregex = .*dovecot: (?:pop3-login|imap-login): (?:Disconnected|Aborted login) $(?:auth failed, .* attempts|no auth attempts)$:.*rip=<HOST>,.* <<< this is my custom (?: pop3-login|imap-login): (?:Authentication failure|Aborted login \(auth failed|Aborted login \(tried to use disabled|Disconnected \(auth failed).*rip=(?P<host>\S*),.* <<< from dovecot.org .*warning:.\S*\[(?P<host>)\]: SASL.(?:PLAIN|LOGIN).authentication failed:.* Here is the current attack: Jun 10 17:18:10 mail dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=<rahul>, method=PLAIN, rip=113.12.82.71, lip=173.50.101.12 Can someone help me out a little?

[Dovecot] Evolution and Thunderbird do different things?
by Phil Howard 10 Jun '10

10 Jun '10

I'm trying both Evolution and Thunderbird on my IMAP server, and find that there are differences in how some things are done, between clients. Shouldn't there have been a standard way to do these things in the IMAP protocol? The first thing I noticed is that when deleting email from one client, it puts a "T" on the file name, leaving it where it is, and from the other client, it moves the mail to a ".Trash" directory on the server (and created a 2nd "Trash" folder ... so now I have 2 "Trash" folders, one with some deleted mail in it, and the other with some deleted mail in it). I'm not saying Dovecot has a problem here. But maybe IMAP the protocol does for not having a standard way to do things, and these clients, for not doing it the same way (if there is some standard somewhere). Any IMAP experts here know what the story is with this?

[Dovecot] Problem with LDAP query
by Aleix Dorca 10 Jun '10

10 Jun '10

Hi people, first message to this list. I've a problem with dovecot 1.0.15 (debian latest package) and an LDAP query. The situation is the following. My LDAP users have multiple mail addresses (field 'mail') and mail should be able to be sent to any of these and the mail should always end on the user's mailbox. This is not working for me now. My dovecot-ldap.conf relevant config shows: user-attrs = uid=user user_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(|(uid=%n)(mail=%u))) This correctly detects multiple addresses but mail always end in folder (from dovecot.conf): mail_location = maildir:/home/vmail/%n/Maildir So if user@domain gets a mail it ends in /home/vmail/user/Maildir but if the same user gets an email to user-alt@domain it ends in /home/vmail/user-alt/Maildir instead of /home/vmail/user/Maildir. I've been debugging and I get this on my mail.log file: Jun 10 12:41:29 horologium deliver(user-alt@domain): auth input: user-alt@domain Jun 10 12:41:29 horologium deliver(user-alt@domain): auth input: user=user Jun 10 12:41:29 horologium deliver(user-alt@domain): auth input: uid=5000 Jun 10 12:41:29 horologium deliver(user-alt@domain): auth input: gid=5000 Jun 10 12:41:29 horologium deliver(user-alt@domain): maildir: data=/home/vmail/user-alt/Maildir Jun 10 12:41:29 horologium deliver(user-alt@domain): maildir: root=/home/vmail/user-alt/Maildir, index=/home/vmail/user-alt/Maildir, control=, inbox= Since I'm in version 1.0.15 can't use the mailLocation with the $ substitution. Anyway, any help will be appreciated.

[Dovecot] converting from vm-pop3d
by Tim Uckun 09 Jun '10

09 Jun '10

Hello All. I am looking into an old server which is running vm-pop3d. This server is having problems because the pop3 server is taking up 100% of the CPU. I looked at the largest mailboxes and there are a handful over 20 megs in size, the largest one is 55megs, they are all mbox format (I think). I have been looking at the wiki and it looks like there is a perl script to make the mailboxes behave. There are also other scripts that try and convert mbox to maildir formats and from what I can gather dovecot can do this as well. Finally the dovecot in the fedora repos is 1.0.X and I notice that the latest in 1.2.X is there a more up to date dovecot RPM repo? I would appreciate any advice anybody can give me on how to proceed with this transition. Thank you in advance.

[Dovecot] Migration from Courier to Dovecot: is it recommended to "force" d.index* creation?
by Sandro Tosi 08 Jun '10

08 Jun '10

Hello, we are planning to migrate from Courier to Dovecot. We already know courier-dovecot-migrate.pl, that will convert UID list and subscriptions files to dovecot format, and we will run it in batch on all Maildir + enable it at login, once we do the switch But we are also wondering it it might be wise to "force" the creation of dovecot.index{,.cache} files at conversion-time. It seems that, at least, d.i.c is created at FETCH of a mail, i.e. reading it, but we do not want to "alter" mails status of our clients. Is there a way to create them in batch, or is it better to just let them be created once clients start accessing their mailboxes via dovecot? Thanks in advance, Sandro

[Dovecot] Problem after migrating from mbox to maildir and squirrelmail
by Wawan S 08 Jun '10

08 Jun '10

Hi all, I just finished migrating from mbox to maildir (and upgrade squirrelmail to the latest version) with some issue. We are using Postfix 2.3, Dovecot 1.2.7 and Squirrelmail 1.4.2. One of user report that suddenly all his Sent and Drafts emails were disapeared. After log in to webmail, I found out that there are 3 new folder called Drafts, Sent and Trash apart from Drafts,Sent,Trash underneath INBOX folder, and all his sent and draft emails were there. I thought I just move the email from Sent folder to the Sent underneath INBOX, but I was wrong. Now he got all sent emails in Sent items but after refreshed the webmail, INBOX wont open at all. it just blank but in the left side it said the amount of his email. what did i do wrong? is it something to do with the dovecot.index and index.cache or the uidlist? please enlighten me.... thank you Hendry

[Dovecot] dovecot transaction log permissions
by Jordan Tardif 08 Jun '10

08 Jun '10

So after some problems with NFS and transaction logs getting corrupted. Im tyring out storing them localy. via.. mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir:INDEX=/var/dovecot/indexes/%u the problem is with a large amount of users.. the indexes dir becomes huge with this setup. So a change to make this better is... mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir:INDEX=/var/dovecot/indexes/%d/%n to seperate the users dir's into domains. What seems to happen is dovecot creates the index's folder automaticly and its owned by that user.. eg.. drwx------ 3 10651674 2598184 4096 2010-06-02 19:08 domain.com this makes it so no other user of domain.com can get their transaction logs created cause the dir is owned by another user at that domain. Is there anyway around this? I see there used to be a umask option but that is gone in 1.2.x. -- Jordan Tardif DreamHost

[Dovecot] Questions about migration Sun Messaging -> Dovecot+Postfix+Ldap
by Javier de Miguel Rodríguez 07 Jun '10

07 Jun '10

Hello. We are planning a migration from Sun One Messaging Server to Dovecot+Postfix+Ldap. We are using Dovecot 1.2.11 with Sun One Directory Server 5.2 ldap (we will migrate to Directory Server 6.3.1) soon. In our University we have 65.000 students, 5.500 staff and 6.500 teachers. Our main ldap realm is dc=us,dc=es (us means University of Seville, Spain). We have two e-mail domains, @us.es (staff+teachers) and @alum.us.es (students). We use Sun One Directory Server to load data to our ldap from several sources (like Oracle databases, flat files, etc) Our ldap tree is like this: dc=us,dc=es | |----->ou=People,dc=us,dc=es // "special" users only used by apps | | |----->o=us.es,dc=us,dc=es // ldap branch for staff+teachers | | |----->o=alum.us.es,dc=us,dc=es // ldap branch for students A user id is unique, so there is only a "john_doe" in the ldap tree (I repeat, there is NOT uid=john_doe,o=us.es,dc=us,dc=es and uid=john_doe,o=alum.us.es,dc=us,dc=es). Below you will find a copy of the dovecot.conf and dovecot-ldap.conf. Our operating system is Red Hat Enteprise Linux 5 x64. These are our questions: 1) We are unable to make dbox work with quota, but we have no problem with maildir. Quota is stored in a ldap attibute called "mailQuota" 2) A user can be in different branches in the same time: for example, a teacher called pepito should be in the uid=pepito,o=us.es,dc=us,dc=es branch but if that teacher is also a student should have another ldap entry uid=pepitosurname,o=us.es,dc=us,dc=es. Our identity management is the piece of software that "promotes" a user in that case. How should we use "mail_location" to addres this? 3) We are planning to use two raid5 of 8 SAS 15.000 rpm disks for these mailboxes. We will use a "2.0, ajax-based webmail" like roundcube. Most of our users will use webmail (imap based). How many iops should we have in that enviroment? We would like to use dbox, but we are stuck in maildir because 1) 4) Some users could have their mailboxes "disabled". We use the following line: user_filter = (&(objectClass=inetorgperson)(uid=%n)(mailUserStatus=active)) but it does NOT work as expected. Any idea) 5) We are planning to use bacula to backup user mailboxes. Any known problem with this (i will ask in the bacula mailing list anyway) 6) I have read carefully perfomance in dovecot wiki. Can I use noatime in /etc/fstab safely with dovecot? Any perfomance hint apart from we already have in our config files? 7) When we set vacation messages they work but we see this error in the log: dovecot: deliver(jorgelp): file_dotlock_create(~/.dovecot.lda-dupes) failed: No such file or directory 8) When a user log in she uses his username "mary" (without @us.es or @alum.us.es) . Our dovecot search in all the ldap tree until it finds that uid. But we would like to store in our mail_location /buzones/us.es or /buzones/alum.us.es. How can we accomplish this? We should use the "upper branch name" as part of the mail_location. Thank you for your support (and for your patience).

[Dovecot] mangled user_attrs from LDAP
by markham breitbach 07 Jun '10

07 Jun '10

I have setup dovecot to allow users to login using their email address or uid and have found a strange behaviour when the user logs in using the email address for a "username". I am using OpenLDAP for a backend data store with a rather customized schema. This behaviour occurs for both POP3 and IMAP logins. For some users it works as expected, but for others the pass_attrs->user does not get mapped back to the uid, but remains the mailLocalAddress (dovecot-ldap.conf is attached at the end of this post). Here is an excerpt from the logs for a working and a malfunctioning user. In both cases the users were logged directly into the pop3 port (ie. telnet <mailserver> 110) and used the fully qualified email address as the user (ie. foo(a)ex.tld) Jun 02 13:23:19 pop3-login: Info: Login: user=<foo>, method=PLAIN, rip=64.247.129.10, lip=64.247.129.10, secured Jun 02 13:23:19 POP3(foo): Info: Loading modules from directory: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3 Jun 02 13:23:19 POP3(foo): Info: Module loaded: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3/lib10_quota_plugin.so Jun 02 13:23:19 POP3(foo): Info: Effective uid=14921, gid=2000, home=/nonexistent Jun 02 13:23:19 POP3(foo): Info: Quota root: name=User quota backend=maildir args= Jun 02 13:23:19 POP3(foo): Info: Quota rule: root=User quota mailbox=* bytes=0 messages=0 Jun 02 13:23:19 POP3(foo): Info: maildir: data=/var/mail/foo Jun 02 13:23:19 POP3(foo): Info: maildir++: root=/var/mail/foo, index=, control=, inbox=/var/mail/foo Jun 02 13:23:19 POP3(foo): Info: Namespace : Using permissions from /var/mail/foo: mode=0700 gid=-1 Jun 02 16:54:06 pop3-login: Info: Login: user=<bobs>, method=PLAIN, rip=199.247.84.12, lip=64.247.129.4 Jun 02 16:54:06 POP3(bob_smith(a)example.tld): Info: Loading modules from directory: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3 Jun 02 16:54:06 POP3(bob_smith(a)example.tld): Info: Module loaded: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3/lib10_quota_plugin.so Jun 02 16:54:06 POP3(bob_smith(a)example.tld): Info: Effective uid=38538, gid=2000, home=/nonexistent Jun 02 16:54:06 POP3(bob_smith(a)example.tld): Info: Quota root: name=User quota backend=maildir args= Jun 02 16:54:06 POP3(bob_smith(a)example.tld): Info: Quota rule: root=User quota mailbox=* bytes=524288000 messages=0 Jun 02 16:54:06 POP3(bob_smith(a)example.tld): Info: Quota rule: root=User quota mailbox=Trash bytes=52428800 messages=0 Jun 02 16:54:06 POP3(bob_smith(a)example.tld): Info: Quota rule: root=User quota mailbox=Deleted Messages bytes=52428800 messages=0 Jun 02 16:54:06 POP3(bob_smith(a)example.tld): Info: maildir: data=/var/mail/bob_smith(a)example.tld Jun 02 16:54:06 POP3(bob_smith(a)example.tld): Info: maildir++: root=/var/mail/bob_smith(a)example.tld, index=, control=, inbox=/var/mail/bob_smith(a)example.tld Jun 02 16:54:06 POP3(bob_smith(a)example.tld): Info: Namespace : Using permissions from /var/mail/bob_smith(a)example.tld: mode=0700 gid=-1 Jun 02 16:54:10 POP3(bob_smith(a)example.tld): Info: Disconnected: Logged out top=0/0, retr=0/0, del=0/0, size=0 After much searching for anything different between these records, some tcpdumps showed that the problem occured when LDAP returned the attributes in a different order than they are requested in. In this sample, you can see the request for uid,homeDirectory,uidNumber,gidNumber,mailQuota and the values are returned in the order gidNumber, uid, uidNumber, homeDirectory. There is no mailQuota set for this user. 16:54:06.145597 IP mail.xxxxx.com.62929 > closest-ldap.ldap: P 14:261(247) ack 15 win 33304 <nop,nop,timestamp 1521221146 267819447> 0x0000: 4500 012b fd4d 4000 4006 b87a 40f7 8104 E..+.M@.@..z@... 0x0010: 40f7 8112 f5d1 0185 41e1 8b7d 5aea 01d9 @.......A..}Z... 0x0020: 8018 8218 8522 0000 0101 080a 5aab fe1a ....."......Z... 0x0030: 0ff6 99b7 3081 f402 0120 6381 ee04 0b64 ....0.....c....d 0x0040: 633d 322c 6463 3d73 7369 0a01 020a 0100 c=2,dc=ssi...... 0x0050: 0201 0002 0100 0101 00a0 8198 a317 040d ................ 0x0060: 6163 636f 756e 7473 7461 7475 7304 0661 accountstatus..a 0x0070: 6374 6976 65a3 1c04 1265 6d61 696c 6163 ctive....emailac 0x0080: 636f 756e 7453 7461 7475 7304 0661 6374 countStatus..act 0x0090: 6976 65a1 5fa3 2704 0375 6964 0420 626f ive._.'..uid..bo 0x00a0: 625f 6d61 6364 6f6e 616c 6440 6772 6561 b_xxxxxxxxx@xxxx 0x00b0: 7473 6c61 7665 6865 6c69 2e63 6f6d a334 xxxxxxxxxx.com.4 0x00c0: 0410 6d61 696c 4c6f 6361 6c41 6464 7265 ..mailLocalAddre 0x00d0: 7373 0420 626f 625f 6d61 6364 6f6e 616c ss..bob_xxxxxxxx 0x00e0: 6440 6772 6561 7473 6c61 7665 6865 6c69 x@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx 0x00f0: 2e63 6f6d 3035 0403 7569 6404 0d68 6f6d .com05..uid..hom 0x0100: 6544 6972 6563 746f 7279 0409 7569 644e eDirectory..uidN 0x0110: 756d 6265 7204 0967 6964 4e75 6d62 6572 umber..gidNumber 0x0120: 0409 6d61 696c 5175 6f74 61 ..mailQuota 16:54:06.147464 IP closest-ldap.ldap > mail.xxxxx.com.62929: P 15:142(127) ack 261 win 32942 <nop,nop,timestamp 267819449 1521221146> 0x0000: 4500 00b3 bb91 4000 4006 faae 40f7 8112 E.....@.@...@... 0x0010: 40f7 8104 0185 f5d1 5aea 01d9 41e1 8c74 @.......Z...A..t 0x0020: 8018 80ae b708 0000 0101 080a 0ff6 99b9 ................ 0x0030: 5aab fe1a 307d 0201 2064 7804 1663 6e3d Z...0}...dx..cn= 0x0040: 6773 6862 6f62 6d2c 6463 3d32 2c64 633d xxxbobx,dc=2,dc= 0x0050: 7373 6930 5e30 1304 0967 6964 4e75 6d62 ssi0^0...gidNumb 0x0060: 6572 3106 0404 3230 3030 3010 0403 7569 er1...20000...ui 0x0070: 6431 0904 0767 7368 626f 626d 3014 0409 d1...xxxbobx0... 0x0080: 7569 644e 756d 6265 7231 0704 0533 3835 uidNumber1...385 0x0090: 3338 301f 040d 686f 6d65 4469 7265 6374 380...homeDirect 0x00a0: 6f72 7931 0e04 0c2f 6e6f 6e65 7869 7374 ory1.../nonexist 0x00b0: 656e 74 ent I will spare you the packet dump, but in the cases where the login works correctly, LDAP returns the values in the same order that they are requested in. This behaviour has been found with both OpenLDAP: slapd 2.3.39 and OpenLDAP: slapd 2.4.17, and is consistent with standard LDAP behaviour (ie, there is no guaranteed ordering in the LDAP database). A brief look at the code, seems to indicate that the values are being pulled from the LDAP return struct in a step-wise manner, which could certainly put them out of sync with the request if it is assumed that they will always be returned in the same order....This is just based on a quick review of the code though, and not any detailed tracing.

[Dovecot] Expunge Logging Patch
by James Devine 07 Jun '10

07 Jun '10

I have made some changes to the expunge logging as client->mailbox is set to NULL prior to one of the relevant calls. The change leaves mailbox in the function now and adds client. The modified patch to 1.2.11 is included.

[Dovecot] Ignoring the quota by the LDA?
by Holger Richter 07 Jun '10

07 Jun '10

Is it possible to configure dovecot in a manner that only the imap process respects the quota, and the local delivery ignores completely the quota? I think it should happen if I don't activate the quota plugin in the lda section but only in the imap section. protocol lda { ... # mail_plugins = ... } protocol imap { ... mail_plugins = quota imap_quota ... } Will it work or will it result in a big mess? I've the aim that a mail will never be rejected because the recipient is over his/her quota. Regards, Holger

[Dovecot] Problems with the IMAP proxy after upgrading from dovecot 1.1.16 to 1.211
by Holger Richter 07 Jun '10

07 Jun '10

We have frequent timeout problems after upgrading our imap servers from dovecot 1.1.16 to dovecot 1.2.11. One server acts as proxy only, and the other one is the "real" imap server". The credentials for the proxy service are stored in a remote MYSQL database. There were no trouble with dovecot 1.1.16. But now, with the most recent version, we get frequent login failures. It seems dovecot reconnects too late to the MySQL database after a timeout, after sending the SQL query. Here's a piece of my log file: May 7 14:46:32 ttt dovecot: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=5136 May 7 14:46:42 ttt dovecot: auth(default): client in: AUTH^I1^IPLAIN^Iservice=imap^Isecured^Ilip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx^Irip=yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy^Ilport=sss^Irport=26480^Iresp=<hidden> May 7 14:46:42 ttt dovecot: auth-worker(default): sql(uid,yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy): query: SELECT NULL as password, destuser, host, 'zzz' as port, 'Y' as proxy, '0' as proxy_timeout, 'Y' as nopassword, 'Y' as nodelay from accounts where user ='uid'; May 7 14:47:42 ttt dovecot: auth(default): worker-server(uid,yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy): Aborted: Lookup timed out May 7 14:47:42 ttt dovecot: auth-worker(default): mysql: Connected to lll.lll.lll.lll (imapauth) May 7 14:47:44 ttt dovecot: auth(default): client out: FAIL^I1^Iuser=uid^Itemp May 7 14:47:49 ttt dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=<uid>, method=PLAIN, rip=yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy, lip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, TLS May 7 14:48:26 ttt dovecot: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=5159 May 7 14:48:47 ttt dovecot: auth(default): client in: AUTH^I1^IPLAIN^Iservice=imap^Isecured^Ilip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx^Irip=yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy^Ilport=sss^Irport=6243^Iresp=<hidden> May 7 14:48:47 ttt dovecot: auth-worker(default): sql(uid,yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy): query: SELECT NULL as password, destuser, host, 'zzz' as port, 'Y' as proxy, '0' as proxy_timeout, 'Y' as nopassword, 'Y' as nodelay from accounts where user ='uid'; May 7 14:48:47 ttt dovecot: auth(default): client out: OK^I1^Iuser=uid^Idestuser=luid^Ihost=mmm.mmm.mmm.mmm^Iport=zzz^Iproxy^Iproxy_timeout=0^Ipass=<hidden> May 7 14:48:47 ttt dovecot: imap-login: proxy(uid): started proxying to mmm.mmm.mmm.mmm:zzz/luid: user=<uid>, method=PLAIN, rip=yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy, lip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, TLS May 7 14:48:48 ttt dovecot: imap-login: proxy(uid): disconnecting yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy As you can see, the second login attempt is always successful.

[Dovecot] authentification failure: double quotes in password
by Martin Ott 07 Jun '10

07 Jun '10

we use Passdb LDAP with authentication binds against an Active Directory Server. The problem with one of our users seems to be the usage of double quotes in his password, as the windows-login works: /var/log/dovecot-info.log auth(default): Info: ldap(testuser 77.22.xx.xxx): invalid credentials (given password: xxxxx"xxxxxxx) Which chars in passwords does the dovecot auth process not like? Is there something similar to auth_username_chars for passwords? thanks, martin

[Dovecot] DOES NOT PERTAIN TO DOVECOT: Does anyone use postfix for some help?
by Jerrale Gayle 05 Jun '10

05 Jun '10

When mail is sent from the mail server, it shows up as originating from the MAIN ip address of the server, 173.50.101.11, when the mail server is bound to 173.50.101.12. I have already set smtp_bind_address: 173.50.101.12 in main.cf and 173.50.101.12:smtp inet - - smtpd in master.cf. This prevents smtp connects TO any other ip but 173.50.101.12 BUT mail STILL shows up originating from eth1, where 173.50.101.12 is eth1:2 I think this is *nix related and most here, on dovecot mailing list, could provide help.

[Dovecot] Managesieve connection hangs with TLS
by Joel James Adamson 04 Jun '10

04 Jun '10

Hello, I've got dovecot 1.2.11 running on Fedora 12 (x86_64) with the managesieve protocol and sieve plugins enabled, with deliver handling local delivery. I've set disable_plaintext_auth = yes ssl = yes ssl_cert_file = /etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key_file = /etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem mail_debug = yes protocol managesieve { listen = *:2000 login_executable = /usr/libexec/dovecot/managesieve-login mail_executable = /usr/libexec/dovecot/managesieve } and generated local SSL certificates; everything is going fine on the IMAP end of things (clients ask if I trust the certificate the first time, etc). I've open the appropriate ports, etc. No problems with mail delivery. However, I can't connect to the managesieve daemon. I've tried the Emacs client[1], and it just hangs. I tried manual login to port 2000 and here's what happened: joel@chondestes: /etc/mail > gnutls-cli --starttls -p 2000 localhost Resolving 'localhost'... Connecting to '127.0.0.1:2000'... - Simple Client Mode: "IMPLEMENTATION" "dovecot" "SIEVE" "comparator-i;octet comparator-i;ascii-casemap fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date" "SASL" "PLAIN" "STARTTLS" "NOTIFY" "mailto" "VERSION" "1.0" OK "Dovecot ready." *** Starting TLS handshake C-c C-c That last line is me hanging up in Emacs' shell buffer because nothing was happening. Sorry to sound like such a newbie, but what do I need on the client end to complete the TLS transaction? What else do I need to set up to get managesieve to connect?

[Dovecot] dsync panic in dsync-worker-local.c - 2.0.beta4
by Frode Nordahl 04 Jun '10

04 Jun '10

Hello, While testing mailbox conversion I encountered a Panic in dsync on a few users mailboxes. Running dovecot 2.0.beta4 on RedHat Enterprise Linux 5 (x86_64).

[Dovecot] 'doveadm who' enhancement request
by Brad Davidson 04 Jun '10

04 Jun '10

When Dovecot is in proxy mode, the client sends along the original connection endpoints in an ID command. Is there any chance 'doveadm who' could use this to display the original connection source? As it currently stands, all I see is a bunch of connections from the proxy. Thanks! --- Brandon 'Brad' Davidson Virtualization Systems Administrator University of Oregon Information Services (541) 346-8098 brandond(a)uoregon.edu

[Dovecot] Auto forward virtual users mail using Sieve
by Julian Baker 04 Jun '10

04 Jun '10

Hi All I'm trying to configure Dovecot to automatically forward mail to another account without the virtual user having to log-in first to Roundcube web mail. These are virtual users with no log-in to the server only Roundcube's web interface The situation is that I have two domains only who want to receive email at their domains, get a forwarded copy at their hotmail account, then log-in to Roundcube to reply. A Sieve script running in Dovecot seems the way to go, but the finer points of configuration have failed me. I got as far as 1) /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf Adding: protocol lda { mail_plugins = cmusieve mail_plugin_dir = /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda } 2) /var/vmail/___domain___/___user___/.dovecot.sieve Created the .dovecot.sieve file in the domain/user directory and added: require ["fileinto ","reject","vacation","imapflags","relational","regex","notify"]; # Resend a copy of the message to another address # if true { redirect "julian(a)flatearth.co.uk"; } Which doesn't seem to have broken anything. Or worked. I'm assuming that as /var/vmail/___domain___/___user___/ is their virtual user home/mail spool the '.dovecot.sieve' file will get picked up. It seems that Dovecot isn't configured to use send via Deliver ? My conf is pasted before (Exim handles regular domain email forwarding mail for a bunch of virtual domains to pop accounts.)

[Dovecot] auth socket goes away on reload
by David Jonas 03 Jun '10

03 Jun '10

We're using the SQLite backend for authentication of Postfix SASL. When the db is replaced we HUP dovecot to close and reopen its connection. During this time it appears the socket file is removed and Postfix rejects the authentication attempt. From the logs: Jun 3 00:23:02 xxx dovecot: dovecot: SIGHUP received - reloading configuration Jun 3 00:23:02 xxx postfix/smtpd[14746]: warning: SASL: Connect to private/auth failed: Connection refused Jun 3 00:23:02 xxx postfix/smtpd[14746]: warning: unknown[dd.dd.dd.dd]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed: Jun 3 00:23:02 xxx postfix/smtpd[14746]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from unknown[dd.dd.dd.dd]: 554 5.7.1 <user(a)example.com>: Relay access denied; from=<user2(a)example.com> to=<user(a)example.com> proto=ESMTP helo=<localhost.localdomain> Jun 3 00:23:02 xxx postfix/smtpd[14930]: warning: unknown[dd.dd.dd.dd]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed: Connection lost to authentication server Jun 3 00:23:02 xxx postfix/smtpd[14930]: lost connection after AUTH from unknown[dd.dd.dd.dd] Is there an obvious way around this? I know I could somehow merge the changes into the running sqlite db but that undermines the simplicity of the design I have. Maybe a patch to reopen the db if it's replaced? Or perhaps I should just switch to a different db format -- that's probably the quickest/easiest solution. Any other ideas? There are about 20k entries to deal with. Thanks, David

Hi, i think ive asked it before perhaps this feature can be included in dovecot2 couldnt get it run with dovecot 1.2.x if i use the postfixadmin superuser,domainadmin,domainuser layout so there are domainadmins defined in a sql table it would be a nice feature to break it down to be master only at there related domains via sql lookup at recent i think there is only the chance to give master rights to all adresses for users defined as masters -- Best Regards MfG Robert Schetterer Germany/Munich/Bavaria

[Dovecot] Dovecot aspects of fighting spam
by Phil Howard 02 Jun '10

02 Jun '10

I see no documents in the Dovecot documents wiki on how Dovecot features can be used in the fight against spam. One hit came up in a search, and it was about how to fight spam in the MoinMoin Wiki itself (e.g. TextCHAs and such). I already asked in another thread about removing message files at the search from a designated "learn-spam" folder. My next question would be how to automatically place detected spam into a specific folder for the user to access or ignore as they deem fit. That would seem to me to be something for the deliver command and its -m option. But this might be more of a Dovecot and MTA coordination issue, too (e.g. how to get the spam detection done in the MTA ... Postfix in my case ... to become a label of some sort that ends deciding the folder. The -m option might be harder to get it dynamically set since it would be hard coded in master.cf for Postfix (so a variable has to be able to direct it to INBOX in this case). But maybe the "standard" way of doing this is to shim another program between the MTA (Postfix for me) and the LDA (Dovecot deliver) to dynamically add the -m option on the fly? Lacking any other clever solution, this seems to me to be the way I could make it work. Maybe there is a special header deliver could detect, such as "X-Spam: yes"? A wiki document on how Dovecot helps (or how to help Dovecot) in the fight against spam, I think, would be helpful.

Then, out of nowhere, we started getting this error: Apr 21 19:15:17 IMAP(xx(a)xxx.com): Fatal: block_alloc(1073741824): Out of memory Apr 21 19:15:17 IMAP(xx(a)xxx.com): Error: Raw backtrace: imap [0x49e5e0] -> imap [0x49e643] -> imap [0x49dba1] -> imap [0x4a7f6d] -> imap [0x4a7f98] -> imap [0x4a8028] -> imap [0x49bf6f] -> imap(buffer_write+0xe4) [0x49c334] -> imap(mail_cache_lookup_headers+0x146) [0x46dcf6] -> imap [0x458162] -> imap(index_mail_get_first_header+0x45) [0x458685] -> imap [0x45fe44] -> imap [0x460008] -> imap [0x4796d1] -> imap(hash2_lookup+0x64) [0x4a1c94] -> imap(mail_index_strmap_view_sync_add+0x85) [0x47ab05] -> imap(mail_thread_init+0x2a5) [0x4602f5] -> imap(cmd_thread+0x161) [0x41f931] -> imap(cmd_uid+0x78) [0x41fb38] -> imap [0x42079c] -> imap [0x420852] -> imap(client_handle_input+0x3f) [0x42098f] -> imap(client_input+0x5f) [0x4214df] -> imap(io_loop_handler_run+0xf8) [0x4a63a8] -> imap(io_loop_run+0x1d) [0x4a54ed] -> imap(main+0x620) [0x428db0] -> /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf4) [0x3f75e1d8a4] -> imap [0x419969] Apr 21 19:15:17 dovecot: Error: child 25918 (imap) returned error 83 (Out of memory - see mail_process_size setting) The folder (which is shared) has about 8 thousand emails in it.

[Dovecot] configuring sendmail to work with dovecot+LDAP
by Douglas Maus 02 Jun '10

02 Jun '10

I would like to setup dovecot (1.1.20) with LDAP virtual users, but I don't seem to understand how to get my sendmail to accept mail for the virtual users. (I am rather new to this, so I may have some misunderstandings) I have followed - wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/DovecotOpenLdap (OpenLDAP 2.3.43) and I think I have IMAP working for virtual users. I can connect to port 143, enter a username and password and it works. Now I surmise I need to configure my SMTP server to accept mail for these LDAP virtual users, and deliver it appropriately. (The above HowTo doesn't address this step, from what I can tell) I read - wiki.dovecot.org/LDA and wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sendmail (I'm using OpenBSD 4.7, which uses sendmail for MTA / SMTP server, sendmail version 8.14.3) For sendmail.cf, I made the changes in my sendmail.mc file to include the dovecot mailer (calling /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver), and compiled with m4 and installed the new sendmail.cf For dovecot.conf, I edited the portions (abbreviated): protocol lda { auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master } and auth default { socket listen { master {path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master }}} When I try to test this, (telnet www.example.org 25) If I try: MAIL TO:jdoe@www.example.org I get "User unknown" I see that if I try: MAIL TO:jdoe@example.org I get "Relaying denied" Either way it doesn't get delivered. Thank you for any help. And if anyone knows a good basic tutorial for dovecot+LDAP+sendmail I would really appreciate it. dovecot -n (de-identified, and yes I know SSL is disabled, after it all works I'll fix it) ---------- # 1.1.20: /etc/dovecot.conf Warning: fd limit 128 is lower than what Dovecot can use under full load (more than 640).

[Dovecot] Migration - Dovecot to Dovecot
by Greg Pearson 02 Jun '10

02 Jun '10

Hi, I am using Dovecot with mbox format, and I am interested to move to Maildir. I have run the modified script (mb2md) but it seems UIDs are not preserved. I don't know how to verify this, but my client seems to be downloading all messages again. Can someone help?

[Dovecot] recipient_delimiter
by Phil Howard 02 Jun '10

02 Jun '10

I have recipient_delimiter = + in main.cf (Postfix). But deliveries to dovecot/deliver are still being rejected. It appears that the full email is still in the envelope (e.g. phil+howard(a)example.com which I want to be delivered to phil(a)example.com) Is that how it's supposed to work and Dovecot just doesn't support this?

[Dovecot] Intermittent timeout issues
by Del Stoliker 01 Jun '10

01 Jun '10

Greetings list! We've been experiencing an intermittent issue in which none users are able to log into the mail server for about 10 to 20 minutes. This issue first appeared on our CentOS 4 box running dovecot 1.2.11 after upgrading from the stock version 0.99. The issue persists after migrating our users to a CentOS 5 server - also running version dovecot 1.2.11 but now in the 64-bit flavor. Our users authenticate against LDAP via PAM in case that might be relevant. I've yet to find anything "of interest" in the logs covering the outages. But here is what I've noticed: * Users on our internal network are still able to authenticate and login. * Users from the outside are "Disconnected for inactivity" * Immediately after the restart, external users were able to log in again. It almost sounds like the firewall is blocking external access except that: * The version of dovecot was the thing that changed * Everything starts working again after a dovecot restart If anyone could provide some insight, I'd sure appreciate it.

[Dovecot] purge maildir folder after sa-learn
by Florian Effenberger 01 Jun '10

01 Jun '10

Hello, I am looking for a command-line utility to automatically purge one Maildir folder. I want to periodically run sa-learn from cron, and after the spam learning folder has been added to the Bayes database, its contents should be deleted. I've searched a bit, but only found a few old utilities or some telnet+expect scripts, which both didn't look too reliable. Is there any command-line utility to delete all contents of a Maildir folder, or is there any other solution? Thanks, Florian

Hello Dovecot admins. I've started writing manual pages for Dovecot v2.0. I'm sure they are not perfect yet. I'd like to ask you all to read the manual pages. It would be nice to get some ideas/suggestions/improvements. So that that the Dovecot v2.0.0 release could be distributed with /fine manuals/. The manual pages are available at: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/ManPages This is also the intended place for 'discussions' about the man pages.

[Dovecot] dovecot-2.0-pigeonhole/ManageSieve: wrong service name
by Pascal Volk 31 May '10

31 May '10

Hi Stephan, ManageSieve uses the wrong™ service name for the authdb lookup. With dovecot-1.2-managesieve the service name was changed from 'managesieve' to 'sieve'. So I altered my table layout in order to make the query "SELECT userid AS "user", password FROM dovecotpassword('%Ln', '%Ld') WHERE %Ls" work again. When I try to login on the sieve port 4190/tcp, I find this in my dovecot.log: auth: Error: pgsql: Query failed, retrying: ERROR: column "managesieve" does not exist auth: Error: LINE 1: ...", password FROM dovecotpassword('user', 'example.org') WHERE managesiev...

[Dovecot] Permanent flags not announced and public mailbox with per-user index
by Julien Danjou 31 May '10

31 May '10

Hi, I've a set of public mailboxes that all users can access. The index is stored per user, so each user can mark the message as read for themselves. This is with dovecot 1.2.10. However, when selecting the mailbox, system flags are not announced as permanent but only as session flags: 3619 SELECT "public.Admin" * FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft) * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS ()] Read-only mailbox. * 324 EXISTS * 0 RECENT * OK [UNSEEN 171] First unseen. * OK [UIDVALIDITY 1254326934] UIDs valid * OK [UIDNEXT 1102] Predicted next UID * OK [HIGHESTMODSEQ 1] Highest 3445 OK [READ-ONLY] Select completed. I think (reading the RFC, but I bet you know it better than me) that FLAGS should also been set in PERMANENTFLAGS since they can be permanent. The relevant code seems to be in commands-util.c (dovecot 1.2.11): void client_send_mailbox_flags(struct client *client, bool selecting) { […] if (mailbox_is_readonly(client->mailbox)) { client_send_line(client, "* OK [PERMANENTFLAGS ()] " "Read-only mailbox."); } else { […] } } Even if it's true that the Maildir is read-only, it's still possible to store \Seen permanently. Am I getting things wrong, or is this a bug? If I'm correct, a simple fix MAY be not to send the PERMANENTFLAGS at all since the RFC says: OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (<list of flags>)] A list of message flags that the client can change permanently. If this is missing, the client should assume that all flags can be changed permanently. Thanks, -- Julien Danjou // ᐰ <julien(a)danjou.info> http://julien.danjou.info

As this is a fresh installation of dovecot I do not know if older versions work better.

[Dovecot] 1.2.11, mbox, new mail
by Stan Hoeppner 31 May '10

31 May '10

With 1.2.11 and mbox storage, the delay time in pulling new mail headers to the client from imap folders seems to be directly proportional to mailbox size, regardless of the number of new messages. At present, if the mailbox is large, pulling new headers is rather painfully slow. Is this expected behavior? Especially given that the client already has all the "old" mails in the folder cached, and thus wouldn't be asking for them? Is there a setting(s) I can change to optimize/fix this? -- Stan

[Dovecot] strange sieve situation
by Andy Dills 31 May '10

31 May '10

Hi there, I've been working on rolling out the "deliver" service so we can implement sieve. Dovecot 1.2.11, Postfix 2.6.6, FreeBSD 8, installed by ports. Clustered environment, NFS backend. Everything is working great for the most part, I'm using it to sort a copy of my personal email on a test server. However, I noticed two emails were not properly sorted. I had added a rule (using Ingo, nice little piece of software) to redirect the nightly FreeBSD security output emails into a folder "servers". However, nothing had triggered that rule, and the "Maildir/.servers" directory had not yet been created. Then, three of the "security outputs" came in at one time: May 29 03:01:48 mg8 dovecot: deliver(andytest(a)xecu.net): sieve: msgid=<20100529070108.F2F0B7F5D4(a)mail-out04.xecu.net>: failed to store into mailbox 'servers': Mailbox already exists May 29 03:01:48 mg8 dovecot: deliver(andytest(a)xecu.net): sieve: msgid=<20100529070109.D8F5E159913(a)mail-out01.xecu.net>: failed to store into mailbox 'servers': Mailbox already exists May 29 03:01:48 mg8 dovecot: deliver(andytest(a)xecu.net): sieve: msgid=<20100529070109.D8F5E159913(a)mail-out01.xecu.net>: stored mail into mailbox 'INBOX' May 29 03:01:48 mg8 dovecot: deliver(andytest(a)xecu.net): sieve: execution of script /mail/var/mail2/xecunet/andytest.xecu.net//.dovecot.sieve failed, but implicit keep was successful May 29 03:01:48 mg8 dovecot: deliver(andytest(a)xecu.net): sieve: msgid=<20100529070110.17A781B53B9(a)mail-out02.xecu.net>: stored mail into mailbox 'servers' May 29 03:01:48 mg8 dovecot: deliver(andytest(a)xecu.net): sieve: msgid=<20100529070108.F2F0B7F5D4(a)mail-out04.xecu.net>: stored mail into mailbox 'INBOX' May 29 03:01:48 mg8 dovecot: deliver(andytest(a)xecu.net): sieve: execution of script /mail/var/mail2/xecunet/andytest.xecu.net//.dovecot.sieve failed, but implicit keep was successful That's the order they appeared in my logfile. I'm assuming they were all sent to deliver at the same time, they all thought they needed to make the directory, the one with msgid 20100529070110.17A781B53B9(a)mail-out02.xecu.net was able to make the directory and get delivered, whereas the other two freaked out because they couldn't make the directory they thought needed to be made, and just sent the mail to the inbox. That's a reasonable approach, although I wonder if deliver/sieve could be (or perhaps "has been in 2.0") adjusted to more intelligently handle that edge case. Also, I'm wondering about "dovecot_destination_recipient_limit = 1". I have that set in my main.cf, but I'm not 100% positive it's taking effect. # grep dovecot /usr/local/etc/postfix/main.cf dovecot_destination_recipient_limit = 1 virtual_transport = dovecot # grep dovecot /usr/local/etc/postfix/master.cf dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=mailman argv=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -f ${sender} -d ${recipient} # postconf | grep dovecot smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot virtual_transport = dovecot # postconf | grep destination_recipient_limit default_destination_recipient_limit = 50 lmtp_destination_recipient_limit = $default_destination_recipient_limit local_destination_recipient_limit = 1 relay_destination_recipient_limit = $default_destination_recipient_limit smtp_destination_recipient_limit = $default_destination_recipient_limit virtual_destination_recipient_limit = $default_destination_recipient_limit Is "dovecot_destination_recipient_limit" being converted into local_ ?

[Dovecot] Unresolved client rejection
by Greg Pearson 31 May '10

31 May '10

Hi, would it be possible to prevent users who try to login from an unresolved IP from connecting to Dovecot IMAP? I have a suspicion that it should be done via the authentication module (ie PAM) but I am not sure (if this is the case could someone recommend a good resource or even a solution). For example sendmail has a relevant macro to achieve this, I was wondering if Dovecot can have similar behavior. Thanks

[Dovecot] imap folder aliases for different mail clients naming convention
by Robert Schetterer 31 May '10

31 May '10

Hi, sorry if this was asked before and/or if there is allready a solution different imap mail clients, have different imap folder naming conventions typical by sent , trash, spam i normally use thunderbird conventions, as its working on all major plattforms and configure hord/imp , squirrelmail to use it like thunderbird does, additional i use autocreate with this folders it would be nice to alias other mail clients naming conventions to TB folder naming conventions without poke around with i.e symlinks etc, i guess there might be some solution with namespaces but i hope i could be done more easy eventually with a alias plugin etc? -- Best Regards MfG Robert Schetterer Germany/Munich/Bavaria

( dovecot2/srv/lmtp/commands.c ~line 695 ) has somebody experiences while delivering huge ammount of mail via dovecot2 lmtp service? - is it faster/slower/comaparable with deliver? - it's hard to believe, that nobody realy misses the return-path header Thanks, Andreas -- Andreas Schulze Internetdienste | P532 DATEV eG 90329 Nürnberg | Telefon +49 911 319-0 | Telefax +49 911 319-3196 E-Mail info @datev.de | Internet www.datev.de Sitz: 90429 Nürnberg, Paumgartnerstr. 6-14 | Registergericht Nürnberg, GenReg Nr.70 Vorstand Prof. Dieter Kempf (Vorsitzender) Dipl.-Kfm.

[Dovecot] Dovecot 1.2 - Quotas - Ignoring Trash folder
by Shayne Jellesma 30 May '10

30 May '10

Hello guys, Firstly I would like to state that I am fairly new to Dovecot. I have played around with it in the past here and there but mainly with debian packages. I have compiled this version of Dovecot from source, so please go easy with me. Ok now down to my questions: I am having trouble getting Dovecot to 'ignore' the Trash folder when summing up the used quota for a user. I am running Dovecot 1.2.11 (with LDA), Postfix 2.5.5, and Postfixadmin 2.3. I am able to send and receive emails fine. Roundcube displays the quota used but this quota also counts what is in the users Trash can. Postfix is configured to hand over delivering of the mail to Dovecot. I have tried different methods from the documentation on ignoring the Trash folder, but have not come up with anything that has worked yet. If someone could point me in the right direction, that would be great. I apologise now if I have not included all required information, I did read the mailing list guidelines and believe I have follow all required steps. charged:/usr/local/etc# dovecot --version 1.2.11 charged:/usr/local/etc# charged:/usr/local/etc# dovecot -n # 1.2.11: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 i686 Debian 5.0.4 ext3 base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/ log_path: /var/log/dovecot12.log info_log_path: /var/log/dovecot12.log protocols: imap imaps pop3 pop3s listen: 118.127.29.214 disable_plaintext_auth: no 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 first_valid_uid: 5000 last_valid_uid: 5000 first_valid_gid: 5000 last_valid_gid: 5000 mail_privileged_group: vmail mail_uid: 5000 mail_gid: 5000 mail_location: maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%n/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_plugins(default): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(imap): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(pop3): quota mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3 namespace: type: private separator: . inbox: yes list: yes subscriptions: yes lda: postmaster_address: postmaster(a)ignitioncarclub.com mail_plugins: quota mail_plugin_dir: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lda quota_full_tempfail: no auth_socket_path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master auth default: mechanisms: plain login passdb: driver: sql args: /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: sql args: /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf 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 plugin: quota: maildir:ignore=Trash trash: /usr/local/etc/dovecot-trash.conf charged:/usr/local/etc# charged:/usr/local/etc# grep -v '^ *$#.*$\?$' dovecot-sql.conf driver = mysql connect = host=localhost dbname=xxx user=mailuser password=xxx default_pass_scheme = MD5-CRYPT user_query = SELECT maildir, 5000 AS uid, 5000 AS gid, CONCAT('*:storage=', quota, 'B') AS quota_rule FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active = '1' password_query = SELECT username as user, password, '/var/vmail/%d/%n' as userdb_home, 'maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%n' as userdb_mail, 5000 as userdb_uid, 5000 as userdb_gid FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active = '1' charged:/usr/local/etc# charged:/usr/local/etc# dpkg -l | grep postfix ii postfix 2.5.5-1.1 High-performance mail transport agent ii postfix-mysql 2.5.5-1.1 MySQL map support for Postfix charged:/usr/local/etc# Regards, Shayne Jellesma Network Administrator / ICT Support St Martins Lutheran College Web: <http://www.stmartins.sa.edu.au> http://www.stmartins.sa.edu.au Phone: (08) 87 251 430 Skype: shayne.jellesma.smlc

[Dovecot] Problems with Outlook clients after a migration
by Joseba Torre 28 May '10

28 May '10

Hi, I'm doing the final tests before I migrate my 10000 users from RHEL 4 + dovecot 1.1.20 to RHEL5 + dovecot 1.2.11, and I'm having some serious problems with outlook 2007 clients disconnecting very often. In dovecot's log I see lot of connects and disconnects from these clients (as oposed to my kmail, that just connects once when I come in and disconnects when I shut it off). After unchecking the "chek every X minutes" thing in outlook I get fewer of those -while functionality remains-, but the main problem still persists: every now and then (more or less 30 mins), the client disconnects, and sometimes the client goes offline. This didn't happen with my previous setup. I use the outlook-idle workaround, but it doesn't seem to make any difference. Any ideas?

[Dovecot] Cannot Access Inbox
by robertober 27 May '10

27 May '10

Hello Folks, Yesterday while messing around with procmail for SpamAssassin I had my IMAP client open and it lost it's ability to see my Inbox except for two messages. I tried another IMAP client and no success. I can see all other directories such as sent and the ones I have made. The mbox file is there and catable/grepable. I even made a new one. I can read a test account Inbox from the same server with my usual client. Also my small number of other users appear to be using pop3 as normal. Tried so far: * Multiple clients including pop3. * Removed spamd and procmail stuff. * Various permissions. * New mbox. * Restart everything, although I am not sure I rebooted the server last night. * Searched for lock files that may need to be deleted. * Googled. Server setup: * Mandriva Linux 2009.1 * Dovecot 1.1.13 * Postfix 2.5.6 The mailbox in question is my business and some personal email so I would greatly appreciate any help towards fixing this issue. I am self-employed and largely out of business without my email. Thanks, Robert A. Ober

[Dovecot] symlinking maildirs
by Phil Howard 27 May '10

27 May '10

I have some emails that I think are in the Postfix delivery queue going to Dovecot, but didn't get mapped to their alias (because I didn't have all the alias entries in when they were queued). I'm wondering if this trick would work. I have the mail being delivered to /home/mail/%Ld/%Ln/mail and am wondering if I could make a symlink at /home/mail/example.com/foo -> bar and add a dummy password for foo(a)example.com and have that mail trying to go to foo(a)example.com really go to bar@example and make a successful delivery (it is soft bouncing right now).
