[Dovecot] How do I make dovecot not use sslv2 for pop?
by Patrick Horgan 30 Jan '10

30 Jan '10

From nmap: 995/tcp open ssl/pop3 Dovecot pop3d |_ sslv2: server still supports SSLv2 |_ pop3-capabilities: USER CAPA UIDL PIPELINING RESP-CODES TOP SASL(PLAIN LOGIN) pop3 allows SSLv2, imap doesn't. In my dovecot.conf I have: ssl_cipher_list = ALL:!LOW:!SSLv2 at the global level. Do I need to put it inside the protocol pop3{} section? Patrick

[Dovecot] Dovecot SSL issues
by Spyros Tsiolis 29 Jan '10

29 Jan '10

Hello all, successfully managed to make dovecot work with horde (http://www.horde.org) and another MTA (SMTP/POP3). I have this nagging issue with dovecot though (I suspect - it's dovecot and not the rest of the packages, please read on): There is this special page one goes, that check if everything is ok with all the relevant software running along Horde. It's a php file called "test.php". Now, this file shows almost everything that happens in the box. Here's a transcript of what shows when it comes to dovecot and SSL : --------------------------- * Trying protocol imap/ssl, Port 993: ERROR - The server returned the following error message: SECURITY PROBLEM: insecure server advertised AUTH=PLAINCertificate failure for localhost: self signed certificate: /C=GR/ST=Kerkyra/L=Kerkyra/O=The Company Name/OU=IMAP server/CN=webmail.thecompanyname.gr/emailAddress=postmaster(a)webmail.thecompanyname.gr --------------------------- From what I understand, it doesn't like the certificate. However, I've followed a howto document step-by-step and did what is documented. Does anyone have any pointers on how to make secure imap for dovecot ? E.G. on ThunderBird, the settings are the following : Tools -> Account Settings -> Server Settings : Server Name : (the server or its ip address) Username : (the username) Port : (I've manually entered "993", because by default goes to "143") Security Settings -> Connection Security : SSL/TLS (again manually entered) CHECK_ON : Use secure authentication Now, if I click on "Get Mail" button on top of the TB window, I get a pop-up window with the following message : ------ Server : Location : <Servers' IP Address>:993 Certificate Status : This site attempts to identify itself with invalid information. Wrong Site : Certificate belongs to a different site, which could indicate an identity theft. Unknown Identity : Certificate is not trusted, because it hasn't been verified by a recognized authority. ------ After that, the users accepts the above by pressing ok twice. However, there's a third pop-up window with a message shown below : ------ You cannot log in to <servers' ip address> because you have enabled secure authentication and this serer does not support it. To log in, turn off secure authentication for this account. ------ Any help would be appreciated.. Thank you all for your patience, S. Tsiolis

[Dovecot] mdbox, dsync
by Timo Sirainen 29 Jan '10

29 Jan '10

I finally migrated my mails from mbox format to mdbox format using dsync: 1. Stop dovecot, wait a few seconds for processes to die 2. dsync convert mdbox:~/mdbox 3. Change mail_location to mdbox:~/mdbox 4. Check that no new mails arrived during conversion (alternatively I could have just run dsync again, but I decided not to test my luck) 5. Start dovecot After fixing a pretty bad bug in dsync and a couple of other unrelated bugs, everything seemed to work correctly and transparently. UIDs and everything was preserved as expected. I think I even feel my mail clients being faster than with mbox :) ~% du --exclude=.imap -bsh mail-old-mbox 707M mail-old-mbox ~% du -bsh mdbox/* 27M mdbox/mailboxes 704M mdbox/storage The reason why I'm giving -b is because without it, mdbox was a lot larger than mbox (734 MB vs. 710 MB). I guess this is because zfs internally decided to waste some space for the files. ~/mdbox/storage% ls -lS -rw------- 1 tss tss 13602413 2010-01-29 18:05 m.68 -rw------- 1 tss tss 10487382 2010-01-29 18:06 m.209 -rw------- 1 tss tss 7749964 2010-01-29 18:06 m.270 -rw------- 1 tss tss 7493010 2010-01-29 18:05 m.69 .. -rw------- 1 tss tss 2097246 2010-01-29 18:06 m.175 -rw------- 1 tss tss 2097213 2010-01-29 18:06 m.151 -rw------- 1 tss tss 2097173 2010-01-29 18:06 m.197 -rw------- 1 tss tss 2097163 2010-01-29 18:05 m.89 -rw------- 1 tss tss 1307164 2010-01-29 18:33 m.296 Total of 296 files. The reason why there are a few large files is because their last mail is huge. I guess in future mdbox should try to avoid doing that if it knows the mail's size beforehand. Actually I thought it already tried to do that.. Anyway, let's hope it doesn't now corrupt all my mails.

[Dovecot] dovecot auth feature request
by Frank Cusack 29 Jan '10

29 Jan '10

when i try to run dovecot for SASL support only, with literally just this configuration: protocols = none ssl = no auth default { mechanisms = plain login passdb passwd-file { args = /etc/dovecot/passwd } socket listen { client { path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode = 0660 } } } I get this: Error: ssl_cert_file: Can't use /etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem: No such file or directory Since, in this configuration, SSL doesn't have meaning, dovecot shouldn't be looking for any cert file. Easily fixed with "ssl = no" but that shouldn't be required. -frank

[Dovecot] mailbox format w/ separate headers/data
by Frank Cusack 29 Jan '10

29 Jan '10

In the future, it would be cool if there were a mailbox format (dbox2?) where mail headers and each mime part were stored in separate files. This would enable the zfs dedup feature to be used to maximum benefit. In the zfs filesystem, there is a dedup feature which stores only 1 copy of duplicate blocks. In a normal mail file, the headers will be different for each recipient and the chances of the content of the message being able to be dedup'd are close to zero, because the differences in header length changes the block boundaries for the rest of the message. But if each mime part is stored in a separate file, you get massive compression "for free". -frank

[Dovecot] Courier-to-Dovecot-migration: Outlook downloads all Mails again
by Werner 29 Jan '10

29 Jan '10

Hi everybody, I'm currently playing through the migration from Courier to dovecot. I've converted the User's Maildir with 'courier-dovecot-migrate.pl'. Outlook 2003 is configured to access the Mailbox via POP3, the option "Leave a copy of messages on the server" is activated. But: after the migration Outlook 2000 redownloads all mails again :-( Could it be, that Outlook 2000 "thinks" (after changing the POP3/SMTP-Server in the Outlook configuration pointing to my testsystem) this is a new system and starts to download the messages again? If so, Outlook 2000 won't download all messages again if we do the migration because POP3/SMTP-Server remains the same. Can anybody confirm this? We do not experience this issue with Thunderbird for example. Thank you, Werner

[Dovecot] virtual users with mysql
by Andre Hübner 28 Jan '10

28 Jan '10

Hello List, we use in our system cryptical Usernames for dovecot etc. and authenticate users against shadow/passwd User abcde is loging in and gets data from /var/spool/mail/abcde and /home/popuser/abcde Now we want to make it possible that users can log in also with emailadresses. I tried dovecot-mysql authentication which works fine but i do not find a way to use 2 different login-formats in my queries. login with abcde and also testname(a)example.com should return ok and lead to /var/spool/mail/abcde. Is this possible or i have to make a decision which format to use? Thanks, Andre

by Kirill Miazine 28 Jan '10

28 Jan '10

Just a notice to those of you who use Dovecot authentication with Exim. In Dovecot 2.0 authentication server will send a new keyword, COOKIE. This will cause Exim to abort it's authentication request. I submitted a bug and patch to Exim to fix this, the patch is here: http://km.krot.org/code/exim-dovecot-1.1.diff BR, Kirill

[Dovecot] virtual mailbox / INTHREAD use case, issues, questions
by David Abrahams 27 Jan '10

27 Jan '10

For over a year now, I've been trying to acquire the ability to review the thread history of a message in my INBOX while still deleting messages as soon as I believe I'm done with them. Suddenly I'm gratified to see that several approaches have been right under my nose all along! One is the INTHREAD imap extension, which I see is implemented by dovecot. Another (related) is dovecot's virtual folders. When I saw the GMail-style "conversation view" described at http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Virtual I was elated, so I tried it out, with exactly that configuration (almost -- my separator is '.'). I ran into several problems (using Dovecot 1.2.8 with http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.2/rev/9cccb8617820 applied): 1. I had to manually create the virtual folder for all my users or they couldn't access their mail at all. Is this fixed in 2.0? 2. My users were getting errors when accessing via POP3. The possible meaning of such a virtual folder under POP3 is lost on me, but I had to enable the virtual plugin for that protocol too. I think that should at least be in the documentation, or better yet the requirement should that it be enabled for POP3 should be dropped. 3. I couldn't get the virtual "conversation view" inbox to show any messages. But maybe that's because of a possible issue I describe below with x-mailbox 4. At some point I ended up with an empty mailbox called "private.virtual" --- I have no idea how. Probably user error. 5. The "all" virtual mailbox would only show 89 messages. I switched it to be a mirror of my "archive" mailbox and the number started to look more reasonable. This could be the "lots of mailboxes" bug describe in http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot-news/2009-December/000145.html 6. I got the impression that looking at the virtual INBOX didn't cause the "all" mailbox to be updated, which I'd guess that it should be. 7. I tried to create an IMAP search, rather than a virtual folder, that looked for x-mailbox INBOX header like the virtual folder does. It too came up empty. It doesn't exactly surprise me because I don't see an x-mailbox header in any of these messages. In fact, I can't find one in /any/ of my messages. When I look for a description of the x-mailbox header, I don't find much information on where it comes from or what it represents. http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2009-June/040619.html seems to indicate it's synthesized by the server. If it's really supposed to represent the message's "original" mailbox as implied by http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Virtual then I'm not sure what that means for messages that are filed twice by sieve and never moved. Lastly, I want to report that for me, the speed of these IMAP searches doesn't begin to approach what I can do with mairix if I want a message's entire thread. I'm happy to use mairix, although it would be nicer not to duplicate that capability if it's already in the server. But it needs to be fast. Is there something I can do to make it go faster? Thanks in advance for any advice, hints, fixes, workarounds, etc. -- Dave Abrahams Meet me at BoostCon: http://www.boostcon.com BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com

Looks like my bugfix exposed yet another bug. Your script worked previously because the removeflag command did not work properly. With 0.1.15 I fixed the removeflag command, thus breaking your script. The essence of the bug we face now is that for the deprecated imapflags extension (that you are using now) only the flag state at the end of the script is used for storing messages. This is now fixed: http://hg.rename-it.nl/dovecot-1.2-sieve/rev/a890258aa5a9 You can work around this issue by substituting "imapflags" with "imap4flags" in the script above. I've added some proper tests to the test suite to prevent this problem from re-occuring in the future. Regards, Stephan.

[Dovecot] STATUS command and total/read message count
by Florian Effenberger 27 Jan '10

27 Jan '10

Hello, I'm running Dovecot 1.0.15 with Thunderbird 3.0.1. TB can query folders for messages in two ways: Either by using the STATUS command, or by opening the folder (don't know the respective IMAP commands, sorry...). Querying via opening the folder is reliable, but via the STATUS command, only new/unread messages are shown. If I want to have the total number of (unread) mesages in a folder, I have to manually open it, so the headers are loaded. Is this a Dovecot issue, or a problem with Thunderbird? In other words: Does the STATUS command only return new/unread messages, or can this be configured on the server side? Thanks, Florian

[Dovecot] Plugin
by Alex Baule 27 Jan '10

27 Jan '10

Hello Everyone... Some time ago, i send some questions about plugins and concat 2 file handles. So, there is another questions about this. Timo Sirainen send to me this modification, in src/lib-storage/index/maildir/maildir-mail.c struct istream *full_input[3]; full_input[0] = i_stream_create_fd(fd, 0, TRUE); full_input[1] = i_stream_create_fd(fd1, 0, TRUE); full_input[2] = NULL; input = i_stream_create_concat(full_ input); This is necessary because my Header and Body is splited. This modification works fine. My question is: There is a way to do this with a plugin ? I dont know how to implement this in a plugin, because i dont know what is the hook to change the maildir_open_mail functions. (this is the function with the modification above) . Another question is: There is a seek function, in dovecot, and in zlib plugin, it is rewrite by another function, that use the "gzseek" to do the seek. My splited body will be encrypted, and the crypto no have seek, because the message will be encrypted. (if i open the message, decrypt and seek to some position, maybe work). The seek function is really necessary to IMAP and maildir ?

[Dovecot] read-only dovecot-uidlist
by Cor Bosman 26 Jan '10

26 Jan '10

Hi all, i just investigated a user complaint and found a read-only dovecot-uidlist. Since dovecot couldnt write it, the process failed. Users can not reach this file, so how this became readonly is beyond me. Must be something in dovecot. Maybe an older bug? Doing a search now for more readonly uidlist files, but that'll take a few hours. Cor

[Dovecot] dovecot-antispam for dovecot 2.0?
by Adam Seering 26 Jan '10

26 Jan '10

Hi, Just wondering, is there a development version or the like of the dovecot-antispam plugin, that works with the Dovecot 2.0 beta? I'm starting to poke at the new version (mdbox looks really handy for my use case); I'm also starting to play with dspam, but I'm finding it annoying to train dspam without it having direct access to my (rather-large existing) spam folder... Thanks, Adam

[Dovecot] acl flag to limit imap_acl based acl changes
by Amon Ott 26 Jan '10

26 Jan '10

Hi all! I have tried the imap_acl plugin with 1.2.9 today, but was not able to limit acl changes for those mailboxes where acl changes should be forbidden. http://wiki.dovecot.org/ACL says that "a" or "admin" covers "Administration rights to the mailbox". However, removing "a" from owner acl (using "lr") does not help, the user can still change all acl flags for all users with imap. Write accesses to mails are forbidden as they should. Is this intended or a bug? We would like to give all users the ability to use ACLs through IMAP, but the current behaviour endangers our read-only mail archives.

[Dovecot] Released Pigeonhole Sieve v0.1.15 and ManageSieve v0.11.11 for Dovecot v1.2.10
by Stephan Bosch 25 Jan '10

25 Jan '10

Hello Dovecot users, It's been a while since the last Pigeonhole Sieve and ManageSieve releases. That is why this release includes quite a few changes. Most interestingly, the include extension is updated to match the most recent specification, the Sieve interpreter now includes plugin support and ManageSieve now has support for enforcing quota on the size of scripts, the number of scripts and the space the scripts occupy on disk. Other than that, quite a few small bugs were fixed. One of which was in the i;ascii-numeric comparator. If one of the matched strings did not start with a digit, the comparator would always yield a 'less-than' result. In stead it should have considered the string starting with the non-digit character as having a positive infinite value. Elsewhere in this list, Julian Cowley pointed out that negative values also start with a non-digit character, which some people may not have understood (i.e. i;ascii-numeric works only on unsigned values). The bug fix in this release could therefore change result of certain misconceived (and probably spam-related) Sieve rules, so watch out! I started work on the spamtest(plus) and virustest extensions. These are implemented for the most part, but their configurability needs quite a bit more work. Changelog Sieve v0.1.15: * Enotify extension: - Adjusted notify method API for addition of new notification methods. - Set default importance level to 'normal' (was 'high'). * Include extension: updated implementation towards most recent specification (all should be backwards compatible): - Implemented global variables namespace. - Global command may now appear anywhere in a script. - Implemented script name checking using the requirements specified in the ManageSieve draft. - One issue remains: ManageSieve currently requires included scripts to be uploaded first, which is not according to specification. * Changed envelope path parser to allow to and from envelope addresses that have no domain part. + Added preliminary support for Sieve plugins and added support for installing Sieve development headers. + Started work on the implementation of the spamtest, spamtestplus and virustest extensions (unfinished). + Deprecated notify extension: implemented denotify command. + Variables extension: added support for variable namespaces. + Added configurable script size limit. Compiler will refuse to compile files larger than sieve_max_script_size. + Testsuite changes: - Added support for changing and testing an extension's configuration. - Added a command line parameter for copying errors to stderr. - Fixed a bug in the i;ascii-numeric comparator. If one of the strings started with a non-digit character, the comparator would always yield less-than. - Imap4flags extension: fixed bug in removeflag: removing a single flag failed due to off-by-one error (bug report by Julian Cowley). - Improved EACCES error messages for stat() and lstat() syscalls and slightly improved error messages that may uccur when saving a binary. - Vacation extension: fixed typo in runtime log message (patch by Julian Cowley). - Fixed use of minus '-' in man pages; it is now properly escaped. - Fixed parser recovery. In particular cases it would trigger spurious errors after an initial valid error and sometimes additional errors were inappropriately ignored. Changelog ManageSieve v0.11.11: * This release contains adjustments to match changes in the Sieve API. This means that this release will only compile against Pigeonhole Sieve v0.1.15. + Implemented ManageSieve QUOTA enforcement. + Added MAXREDIRECTS capability after login. + Implemented new script name rules specified in most recent ManageSieve draft. - Fixed assertion failure occuring with challenge-response SASL mechanisms. - Made configure complain about trying to compile against installed Dovecot headers alone. - Fixed compile warning for compilation against CMUSieve.

[Dovecot] Delete messages with archivemail
by gstyle 25 Jan '10

25 Jan '10

Hi, I have set up a dovecot imap server (Version 1.0.15 on Debain Lenny). Until know I used courier. Every night I run a script calling archivemail ( http://archivemail.sourceforge.net/) to delete all messages in the Spam folder that are older than 30 days archivemail deletes the files directly in the Maildir folder. I am not using IMAP for this (cause I don't want to store the passwords in plain text). I know that dovecot uses index files to speed up Maildir access. Will there be any problems with the index files when I delete the old spam like this? Cheers Mario

[Dovecot] pop3+leave messages on server
by Papp Tamas 24 Jan '10

24 Jan '10

hi All, I have a srange problem. Before dovecot there was a courier imap and it worked just fine. The client(s) are the same then before, so I think, this is an server side problem. I have a user with Outlook and he uses pop3 and leaves messages on server. Sometimes the messages get downloaded again, when he starts the outlook. Not all, but 7-9 hours back. uidl format is like it's suggested: pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv Any idea, what's wrong and what I can do? Thank you very much, tamas

[Dovecot] strange behaviour with seen/unseen messages in virtual folders.
by Matthias Rieber 24 Jan '10

24 Jan '10

Hi, I've a virtual folder that contains unseen messages. When I mark the message and expunge the folder, the message should disappear. This works as expected in alpine. Alpine uses the following commands: 06000010 STORE 1 +Flags (\SEEN) 06000020 EXPUNGE Using roundcube mail, the message wont disappear, when I perform the same steps. RoundCube Mails sends: flg UID STORE 445 +FLAGS (\Seen) exp1 EXPUNGE But the message doesn't dissapear. But I can expunge it with alpine, as long as the folder contains one message. If it contains more messages, some or even all messages won't disappear. When I mark them as unseen/seen in alpine, I can expunge them with alpine. The expunge command send by roundcube mail never expunges any seen message in the unseen folder. Whether it was flagged as seen by alpine nor roundcube mail. kind regards, matthias

[Dovecot] Need simplest method for providing alternate mail location
by Stewart Dean 24 Jan '10

24 Jan '10

I am looking to migrate my DC V1.2 from mbox to maildir format....and want to do this in stages, user group by user group rather than in one horrendous fell swoop....since I'd rather fell things didn't happen. Since I'm running sendmail/procmail, I can change the ~/.procmailrc to change the writing of the INBOX, but the IMAP mail location access info is knottier when one wants to do things a bit at a time. Setting aside for now the matter of converting existing folders, I will be moving: = from a mbox setup with the INBOX in /var/spool/mail/<userid> and the folders in ~/mail = to both in ~/Maildir (unless someone has better ideas) It seems that one could: 1) Change the namespaces in the client...but this is not feasible, because it would means going out to all my 4000+ users desktop and modifying them. 2) Having some sort of db to tell DC it a mail_userdb extra field and override the mail_location in dovecot.conf 3) Perhaps waiting for DC v2.0 which will have this architected in. A) Is there any sense the v2.0 will be coming Real Soon Now and will fulfill #3? B) What's the simplest way to implement #2? I would really rather not install MySQL on my mail server and have all the overhead of installing and managing it when all I need it for is a temporary resource to tell DC where things are until the switchover is complete and Maildir is the default. Is it feasible to do this with an additional flat file in the /etc/passwd mode with some extra fields tacked on that is *only* used for mail location info? Or some other and simple way? My apologies if this is a Stupid Question............. -- ==== Once upon a time, the Internet was a friendly, neighbors-helping-neighbors small town, and no one locked their doors. Now it's like an apartment in Bed-Stuy: you need three heavy duty pick-proof locks, one of those braces that goes from the lock to the floor, and bars on the windows.... ==== Stewart Dean, Unix System Admin, Bard College, New York 12504 sdean(a)bard.edu voice: 845-758-7475, fax: 845-758-7035

[Dovecot] SpamAssassin and i;ascii-numeric comparator
by Julian Cowley 24 Jan '10

24 Jan '10

Hi Stephan, I noticed that you changed i;ascii-numeric comparator recently (<http://hg.rename-it.nl/dovecot-1.2-sieve/rev/17fb38aee85f>) to correct a small bug. I have an interest in this because I use the comparator to check for SpamAssassin scores. Before the fix, this was all that was necessary to check for scores above a certain value: header :value "ge" :comparator "i;ascii-numeric" "X-Spam-Score" "5" Since SpamAssassin includes negative scores and the i;ascii-numeric comparator doesn't recognize negative numbers, all negative scores are actually treated as positive infinity after the fix. Of course, this means mail which has a negative score then gets counted as spam. Now an additional test is necessary, something like this: allof(not header :matches "X-Spam-Score" "-*", header :value "ge" :comparator "i;ascii-numeric" "X-Spam-Score" "5") I thought I'd mention this because other people may get affected by this once 0.1.15 comes out. Here is a patch that makes further tests for the comparator between numeric and non-numeric values. Hope you can use it. -=- julian

[Dovecot] how to create maildir on local mail delivery
by Sebastian Logar 23 Jan '10

23 Jan '10

Hi! I am using Dovecot 1.0.10 with LDA/postfix option reading user data from ldap, but the problem would be nonexistent maildir. Connection with ldap should be fine since reading proper maildir folder. Is it possible to auto creating maildir folders even on received mail since the you can auto create when user login with mail_executable scripts as it's seen from configuration I am doing for pop3 and imap.

[Dovecot] feature question: local delivery from SMTP
by Phil Howard 23 Jan '10

Does Dovecot really need a separate MTA for inbound mail? Or can it receive SMTP directly if there is no forwarding to do? What about spam/virus filtering in that case? -- Phil Howard KA9WGN - ka9wgn(a)gmail.com

[Dovecot] Mail process plans: multiple connections in a process + idle processes
by Timo Sirainen 23 Jan '10

23 Jan '10

Maybe for v2.1: imap and pop3 processes can currently handle multiple connections, but they're assigned pretty much randomly to processes. It would be better if it was possible to: a) Require that a process handles only a specific user's connections b) Require that a process handles only a specific UNIX UID's connections (e.g. if each domain has a separate UID) c) Prefer to put user's connections to same process, but don't require it. To do this, there needs to be a process between imap/pop3-login and imap/pop3. Let's call it imap/pop3-tracker process (or aggregator? or any suggestions?). This process accepts all connections coming from login processes when they've finished authenticating a connection. Internally it figures out if the connection should go to a new or an existing process. It keeps track of username -> { mail_process[], cookie (see idle processes below) } mail_process -> { unix_socket_fd, connection_count } So there's a connection to each mail process. This connection is used to send connection fds for the process to handle. It's also used to receive notifications when a connection is closed. The mail process sockets could also be used to communicate to a specific process. For example doveadm could use this in future to ask what a specific user or process is currently doing, by connecting to imap-tracker, which forwards the request to wanted process(es). The above isn't really anything new, just a more specific plan about what I had been thinking for a long time. A new and more interesting idea is to gather IDLEing imap connections under a few imap-idle processes: When a connection has been IDLEing for a few minutes (or something), and there's no special state in the connection (e.g. CONTEXT=SEARCH searches), the connection could be moved to a separate imap-idle process that simply waits for something to happen. When something does happen, it'll move the connection back to imap process, which restores state and continues. The idea would be to reduce the number of idling imap processes that are wasting memory. The state that needs to be saved and restored is: - selected mailbox name, GUID, UIDVALIDITY (for reliably selecting back the original mailbox, or reliably fail if it's gone) - flag: mailbox is EXAMINEd, not SELECTed - highest seen modseq - UIDs of \Recent messages - SEARCHRES extension: last saved SEARCH result - List of keywords that had been advertised in FLAGS/PERMANENTFLAGS reply to client. Or probably MD5 sum of it would be enough. If MD5 had changed, the list would be re-sent to client. - connection fd - paths that are being monitored with [id]notify/kqueue Connection is moved back when a) new command is received from connection fd, b) one of the monitored files changes. The connections are moved back via imap-tracker process, by sending the saved state along the request. For security there's a per-user security cookie (128 bits of randomness), which is sent to imap processes, and when restoring connection from imap-idle, the request must provide the correct cookie or imap-tracker fails the login. (Normally new post-login imap/pop3 connections can't be created without having authenticated first via dovecot-auth. They verify it.) So when connection comes back, imap process opens the mailbox based on saved information. If this fails for some reason (e.g. mailbox deleted), client gets disconnected. Next Dovecot gets a list of changes to mailbox since the saved modseq, and based on that sends the missing FETCH, EXPUNGE, EXISTS and RECENT events. Again if it somehow fails, the client gets disconnected. At least initially this would only be done for connections that are running IDLE command, because non-IDLE connections are a lot more difficult to restore to their original state. This is mainly because if a message gets expunged, it's still visible to the connection until it issues a command that allows sending EXPUNGE event. To handle that, there would have to be code that allows building a view of mailbox where there are some expunged messages. Also it can be difficult to find out the expunged messages' flags, unless they're also part of the saved state.

[Dovecot] format of file dict
by Frank Cusack 22 Jan '10

22 Jan '10

For shared (between users) mailboxes, I am using a file dict. plugin { acl_shared_dict = file:/etc/dovecot/acl_shared_dict/shared.db } What is the format of this file? I would like to manage it directly rather than have SETACL update it. I see lines which describe a sharing entry (the format of those looks obvious) but also lines with just a '1'. Do I just need to separate entries by lines with just '1' in them? -frank

[Dovecot] Thinderbird+delete+move to Trash folder
by Papp Tamás 22 Jan '10

22 Jan '10

hi All, I have a problem, which makes me headache. I can't find out, what is the problem. I have a mail szerver, which works just fine as expected, TB move messages to trash folder after I delete it, and they are moved. I have an other server. If I delete a message, it doesn't move to the Trash folder. As deleted_to_trash plugin is installed, if I only mark messages as deleted, they are moved to thee Trash folder and also with Outlook works well. It's like when a messages is deleted from TB, the message get moved to the Trash folder, and it's expunged(?) at the same time. Is it possible? Could you help me? The system is Ubuntu 9.04 with docecot 1.2.5-0~auto+0 from http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/, but builded by myself for x86_64. Thank you, tamas

[Dovecot] Modifying the underlying maildir externally (webmail, replication)
by Attila Nagy 22 Jan '10

22 Jan '10

Hello, I have a setup where there are multiple maildir users, one of them being the pop/imap server itself, the others are for example a maildir capable webmail and message replication. I would like to evaluate Dovecot, but I wonder how would its binary indexes and logs fit into this picture. After running through http://wiki.dovecot.org/IndexFiles I'm not sure how well would Dovecot work with other programs modifying the maildirs (adding, deleting, moving messages, folders etc). The "Main index" section says "The index file is synchronized against mailbox only if the syncing information changes.", where syncing information consists or cur and new directories' timestamps. Does that mean I am safe there? The cache file is hopefully just a cache, so it won't contain information from messages which are inserted or moved by an external program, and I assume Dovecot fetches the message lists and other information from the main index, which seems to be OK. The transaction log is for the main index, so if the latter is OK, the former should be OK too. http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/Maildir talks about MUAs and there nothing scary can be found, except for some temporary conditions, where the changes won't propagate to Dovecot in real time, but it's OK. Are the above right, and can Dovecot use its indexes and caches safely with others using the same maildirs? Thanks,

[Dovecot] Files Moving From /New to /Cur
by Tony Rutherford 22 Jan '10

22 Jan '10

Using Dovecot 1.2-9 with Maildir and layout=FS. We have our own delivery pushing messages to the /new and then /cur folder eventually. When I have an IMAP client attached, there is apparently some sort of race going on. I believe that Dovecot is moving files from /new to /cur (and renaming them) before our own delivery gets the job done. This is causing a problem for us. Is there a way to disable this in Dovecot? I have the LDA section commented out of the config file..so I don't think that's in play. Bottom line is that I don't want Dovecot to move any files around whether an IMAP client is attached or not (except for handling the IMAP COPY/APPEND). Regards, Tony

[Dovecot] Conditionally use a sieve script with deliver?
by Kārlis Repsons 22 Jan '10

22 Jan '10

I found a post in this list [0], which says sieve scripts can be used to deliver mail as read. However, can it be done somehow conditionally, I mean, with a direct or indirect switch for deliver? For a nonexistent example, it would be simply < | deliver -m path/to/maildir -r > or maybe an environment variable could be exported to deliver sieve and checked there? (Still not sure if sieve can replace maildrop in my case, however, using it with dovecot creates various problems with interoperability; but perhaps I can just add those imap4flags like "\\seen" myself to the message with maildrop and avoid mess with sieve at all?)

[Dovecot] IDLE timing issue - dovecot or fetchmail issue?
by Matt Doran 22 Jan '10

22 Jan '10

Hi guys, Thanks for the great product. We've used dovecot for ages as our internal mail server and it works great! I've recently started using fetchmail 6.3.9 (with IDLE enabled) to download mail from our ISP (Pair networks). The ISP is running Dovecot 1.1.16. I am unable to get the info about the dovecot config at this time. The IDLE support in fetchmail allows us to deliver mail near instantaneously without the need to poll (which is what we did previously using POP3). However I've noticed an issue where if 2 mails are delivered in quick succession fetchmail will only download the first email, and the second will not download. If I then send in another test email this triggers the download of 2 emails (the original that wasn't downloaded and the test email). Now I'm wondering whether the issue lies with Dovecot (e.g. a timing issue), or is it fetchmail that isn't implementing the IDLE/download properly. I've attached the output of a fetchmail session showing this problem in action (I've added some annotations to this file starting with >>>>>). The sequence of events are: * Start fetchmail with IDLE enabled * Send 2 emails in quick succession. * Dovecot notifies of the new message * Fetchmail downloads the message * Fetchmail initiates a new IDLE * Then nothing more is delivered. :( * I then send another email, which triggers the 2 to download. I don't know enough about IMAP to understand whether the problem lies with Dovecot or Fetchmail. Hopefully an IMAP expert will be able to see from the attached IMAP session.

[Dovecot] IMAP only for some users or via webmail
by Federico Tomasczik 22 Jan '10

22 Jan '10

Hello! First, sorry for my English... I'm a newbie with Dovecot and I have some questions, I'm testing Dovecot 1.1.11 in a virtual machine. I wish in the future, migrate this to a real server. Ok, but i need this: 1) A group of users can use IMAP or POP3. 2) The others, only can use POP3. But, this users can use IMAP only with a webmail (the webmail is in the same server that Dovecot) It is possible? How? Thanks! Federico Ch. Tomasczik

[Dovecot] nologin in auth proto version 1.1
by Kirill Miazine 21 Jan '10

21 Jan '10

I notice that the nologin parameter for the AUTH command is gone in version 1.1 of Dovecot Authentication Protocol. nologin was added in 1.1, so that authentication client could indicate that there will be no subsequent master requests to retrieve user info. Could we have nologin back please? Kirill

I'm running dovecot under runit: #!/bin/sh echo '/var/core/%p' > /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern ulimit -n 8096 ulimit -c unlimited exec /usr/local/sbin/dovecot -F (that way, together with incron, I can automatically generate the coredumps I'm posting all the time) If I apply a patch and recompile, what is the fastest way of restarting dovecot?

[Dovecot] Maildir and IMAP keywords
by Per-Erik Persson 21 Jan '10

21 Jan '10

When a user in thunderbird toggles some flags like junk, spam or something similar dovecot appends these flags form a-z to the end of the file in maildir. I have another application that also access the maildirs which gets really upset with these flags and ignore those emails. Are there any other way for dovecot to store these flags to make it compatible with other softwares?

[Dovecot] Migration from Courier to dovecot
by Werner Detter 20 Jan '10

20 Jan '10

hi list, I've just registered to the list, so please be tolerant ;) I'm currently in the process of planning the migration from courier to dovecot as POP/IMAP-Server. I'm migration from Courier 0.58 (Debian-Etch-packages) to Dovecot 1.1.13 (Debian Lenny Backport). The conversion of the Mailbox from Courier to Dovecot will be done with "courier-dovecot-migrate.pl"-script[1], which works fine. However after running "courier-dovecot-migrate.pl" the Courier-Files still remain in the Maildir. Can i just delete those Courier-specific-files or does dovecot need them somehow (do you normally get rid of these after conversion)? It's about these files: courierimapacl courierimapsubscribed courierimapuiddb courierpop3dsizelist And those directories: courierimaphieracl courierimaphieracl Can i simply delete those with "find" ? Furthermore: is it possible to convert back from Dovecot-Format to Courier-Format? Thanks in advance, Werner [1] http://www.dovecot.org/tools/courier-dovecot-migrate.pl

[Dovecot] MUA notifications on new mail in a new folder?
by Kārlis Repsons 20 Jan '10

20 Jan '10

If deliver gets run with a non-root userid like this: < | deliver -m path/to/NEWmaildir >, I wonder, is a connected IMAP MUA automatically notified, that the new message has arrived in the new folder? As I see from some experiments with Thunderbird, it has no problems with immediate notifications of new mail in previously existing folders, however, it has problems with the case of new folder.

[Dovecot] outlook 2007 can't see public folders more than 1 deep
by Frank Cusack 20 Jan '10

20 Jan '10

dovecot-1.2.9 I have a public folder using ACLs to determine who can access it. namespace public { separator = / prefix = shared/ location = maildir:/var/maildir/shared subscriptions = no } Outlook 2007 can't see any folders except at the top level. It can create them just fine, but can't see them after quit and restart. For example, I can create the folder shared/foo/bar but on restart outlook only sees foo as a folder without subfolders (no + to expand it) and doesn't see bar anymore. In fact I can delete the folder foo in outlook and then BOTH .foo and .foo.bar directories are removed on the server. When you click on foo, the error message in the mail pane is "Cannot display the folder. The folder 'foo' cannot contain items. This is most likely a limitation of your IMAP server. In order to create a folder that can contain items, be sure not to append '/' to its name as you create it." -frank

[Dovecot] md5_verify(...): Not a valid MD5-CRYPT or PLAIN-MD5 password
by BaQs 20 Jan '10

20 Jan '10

'afternoon list! I use mysql as userdb, which contains two type of password schemes: DES and MD5-CRYPT. I read there : http://wiki.dovecot.org/Authentication/PasswordSchemes that both are supported by dovecot. Unfortunately, dovecot keeps saying: Not a valid MD5-CRYPT or PLAIN-MD5 password when looking for a user with DES encrypted password. Is dovecot able to recognize password scheme, or do I have to do something else ? I can't add {DES} to DES passwords, as this database is used with many other softwares. Thanks a lot for your help Pierre

[Dovecot] Two different issues with dovecot 1.1.13
by Stuart Rowan 20 Jan '10

20 Jan '10

Hi Timo, I'm using Debian backports.org dovecot-imapd, 1:1.1.13-2~bpo50+1. I've got two different issues, a reoccurring, seemingly harmless one about "Corrupted index cache file" (boring.txt) and one that went bonkers over the least few days (bt.txt) causing much spamming of the logs. I've made bt.txt stop happening by just rm'ing dovecot.index* : find Maildir/ -type f -name 'dovecot.index*' -print0 | xargs -0r rm ... which I realise may not be the most helpful thing to have done from your point of view. Anyway I just wanted to let you know about both of these. If one or both are already known about or already fixed by a later version of Dovecot, great and sorry for the noise! If not, and you want any more information etc., let me know. Many thanks, Stu. dovecot: 2009-07-28 10:23:16 Error: IMAP(strr): Corrupted index cache file /home/local/strr/Maildir/dovecot.index.cache: record continues outside its allocated size dovecot: 2009-07-28 10:23:56 Error: IMAP(strr): Corrupted index cache file /home/local/strr/Maildir/dovecot.index.cache: record continues outside its allocated size dovecot: 2009-07-28 08:05:54 Panic: IMAP(strr): file index-mail-headers.c: line 77 (index_mail_parse_header_finish): assertion failed: ((match[match_idx] & HEADER_MAT CH_FLAG_FOUND) == 0) dovecot: 2009-07-28 08:05:54 Error: IMAP(strr): Raw backtrace: imap [0x48dbf2] -> imap [0x48dc73] -> imap [0x48d346] -> imap(index_mail_parse_header+0x617) [0x4545f7] -> imap [0x483284] -> imap [0x483478] -> imap(i_stream_read+0x2c) [0x491d7c] -> imap(i_stream_read_data+0x46) [0x491f16] -> imap(message_get_body_size+0x108) [0x4885 a8] -> imap [0x4226c3] -> imap(imap_fetch+0x162) [0x420852] -> imap(cmd_fetch+0x23c) [0x41a27c] -> imap [0x41e46c] -> imap [0x41e51d] -> imap [0x41eb25] -> imap(clien t_input+0x63) [0x41efd3] -> imap(io_loop_handler_run+0xcb) [0x49515b] -> imap(io_loop_run+0x18) [0x4945c8] -> imap(main+0x3da) [0x426bea] -> /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_sta rt_main+0xe6) [0x7f0e851941a6] -> imap [0x418859] dovecot: 2009-07-28 08:05:54 Error: child 20007 (imap) killed with signal 6 (core dumps disabled) dovecot: 2009-07-28 08:05:56 Panic: IMAP(strr): file index-mail-headers.c: line 77 (index_mail_parse_header_finish): assertion failed: ((match[match_idx] & HEADER_MAT CH_FLAG_FOUND) == 0) dovecot: 2009-07-28 08:05:56 Error: IMAP(strr): Raw backtrace: imap [0x48dbf2] -> imap [0x48dc73] -> imap [0x48d346] -> imap(index_mail_parse_header+0x617) [0x4545f7] -> imap [0x483284] -> imap [0x483478] -> imap(i_stream_read+0x2c) [0x491d7c] -> imap(i_stream_read_data+0x46) [0x491f16] -> imap(message_get_body_size+0x108) [0x4885 a8] -> imap [0x4226c3] -> imap(imap_fetch+0x162) [0x420852] -> imap(cmd_fetch+0x23c) [0x41a27c] -> imap [0x41e46c] -> imap [0x41e51d] -> imap [0x41eb25] -> imap(clien t_input+0x63) [0x41efd3] -> imap(io_loop_handler_run+0xcb) [0x49515b] -> imap(io_loop_run+0x18) [0x4945c8] -> imap(main+0x3da) [0x426bea] -> /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_sta rt_main+0xe6) [0x7f2edf08b1a6] -> imap [0x418859] dovecot: 2009-07-28 08:05:56 Error: child 20984 (imap) killed with signal 6 (core dumps disabled)

[Dovecot] Autobuilder packages for Debian stable/i386 now available
by Stephan Bosch 20 Jan '10

20 Jan '10

Hi, A few days back I started the first automated slave builder that produces bleeding edge Debian stable packages for Dovecot v1.2 and v2.0. It uses the source packages already provided by the automated master repository (which builds binary packages for Debian testing), so that the version numbers and content are equal throughout all Debian releases. The repository is available as follows: deb http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/ stable-auto/dovecot-1.2 main Or, for Dovecot v2.0: deb http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/ stable-auto/dovecot-2.0 main Read this for more information: http://wiki.dovecot.org/PrebuiltBinaries#Automatically_Built_Packages I hope to add amd64 binary support soon. Regards, Stephan.

Re: [Dovecot] Oracle SQL driver

Your commit appears to ignore errors and just commit everything > that goes through? Also since nothing is actually sent before commit(), > your rollback() shouldn't need to send ROLLBACK. You right. I've corrected the transaction handling mechanism. The only thing I couldn't understand: why rollback() shouldn't need to make real ROLLBACK? In case when whole transaction was failed succeded statements will remain uncommited. Then they will be commited later on next successful transaction. May be ROLLBACK is still needed? > The "VARCHAR sqltext[2048]" seems like an unnecessary restriction on the > query length. Wasn't there a way to do this without the limit? Or in AFAIK there is no possibility to use C types in PREPARE statement. Also Oracle cannot handle unsized VARCHARs. I've increased VARCHAR size to 65535. > test_connection() seems unnecessary. Right you are. > Couldn't driver_oracle_generate_name() be simply: > static unsigned int counter = 0; > return i_strdup_printf("ORACONN_%x", ++counter); =) Right. > driver_oracle_escape_string() really should be escaping the string. I made this function to replace single quote in string with two single quotes. IMHO this should be enough. How do you think? > Kind of annoying that each query needs a cursor, even though nearly all > queries are expected to return only a single row, but I guess that can't > be helped with the current API.. Yes. There are no other ways to work with untyped statements in OCI. But Oracle claims that all these statements shouldn't produce significant performance impact. The new version attached.

Have you configured Dovecot deliver as your MDA? See: http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA N.

Re: [Dovecot] How can I configure dovecot as gmail imap proxy
by Supratik Goswami 20 Jan '10

20 Jan '10

Here the proxy server should authenticate the user. If the user is in the list of authenticated users then dovecot will allow to connect to imap.gmail.com. Consider a scenario where a client tries to read his mailbox from imap.gmail.com:993. Client executes the command "mutt -f imaps://imap.gmail.com", the request is first authenticated at the proxy server. If the request is coming from a valid user, dovecot will allow to connect to imap.gmail.com and fetch mails for that user. Can you please help me with the steps to configure the server. Warm Regards Supratik

[Dovecot] LDA and POP3/IMAP user_query
by Michael 19 Jan '10

19 Jan '10

How do I get IMAP+POP3 vs. LDA to use different user_query statements? The problem is that the input fields are different. IMAP/POP3 is an email address LDA is a username I have written a long statement to try and cater for both however it still only works 99% of the time, and the remaining 1% fails. The 1% that fails sees the mail being delivered to the wrong mbox. In this particular case the same client owned both mboxes so it was ok, but if this had not been the case things could have gotten real embarrassing. Think of the following: abcwidgets(a)theirdomain.tld mailuser1 mailuser1(a)adomain.tld mailuser2 Now when using the Postfix LDA, email for each address is properly delivered to the specified mbox, however in this case because their is a matching name for the mbox and the email address lefthand content, the compound SQL query returns both results and the LDA will use the first one, which in this case was the wrong one. This is the query used: user_query = \ SELECT mailboxes.username AS user, mailboxes.uid, mailboxes.gid, \ concat('*:storage=',mailquota,'M') AS quota_rule \ FROM mailboxes JOIN accounts ON accounts.username = mailboxes.username \ WHERE ((mailboxes.username = '%n' AND accounts.active='1') || \ (mailboxes.email = '%u' AND mailboxes.active='1' AND accounts.active='1') || \ (mailboxes.email = CONCAT('@','%d') AND mailboxes.active='1' \ AND (SELECT COUNT(email) FROM mailboxes WHERE email='%u') = '0')) which additionally caters for the few catch alls our users have. I think this is a massive oversight in the design of Dovecot to use one query to for 2 separate and distinct processes, that both use different parameters. From what I can tell it seems to assume that a mail system will always use username@domain addresses, and never anything more arbitrary. Has anyone found a way around this? Michael

[Dovecot] shared namespaces with common prefix prefix
by Frank Cusack 19 Jan '10

19 Jan '10

Can shared/public namespaces' prefixes have a common prefix? :) namespace public { separator = / prefix = zz/shared/ location = maildir:/var/maildir/shared:INDEX=/var/maildir/%n/shared subscriptions = no } # to share other employees mailboxes (term'd or admin access) namespace shared { separator = / prefix = zz/shared/%%u/ location = maildir:/var/maildir/%%n:INDEX=/var/maildir/users/%%u subscriptions = no list = children } Since I added the shared namespace, I can no longer access the public namespace. The folders show up but then trying to access one gets the error that the mailbox doesn't exist. If they can't have a common part of the prefix, is that an IMAP limitation or could dovecot conceivably handle it? -frank

[Dovecot] Log the virtual email address and not the local account - dovecot 1.2.2 w/ MySQL
by Bill 19 Jan '10

19 Jan '10

I recently started using dovecot and have it working well but I have one item I haven't been able to find an answer for. I am using MySQL with Dovecot for authentication with my virtual email customers. When the user logs in and checks email a log entry is recorded. Instead of the email address (bob(a)bob.net) being logged it records the local account (vemail101) in the POP3 log. How can I get dovecot to reflect the email address that the customer logged in with instead of the local account? Thx, Bill

[Dovecot] fts squat non-english search for 2 words
by vuser1＠test123.ru 19 Jan '10

19 Jan '10

Hello, It looks I encoutered a bug or misconfiguration. fts_squat search for subject and body works excellent for English mails. For non-English (in particular, Russian) it works only when query consists of 1 word. Phrases - 2 and more words - always returns nothing. Example: search for "planet" ("планета") returns results, search for "Earth" ("Земля") also returns results, but "planet Earth" ("планета Земля") returns nothing. But there are emails having exact phrase "planet Earth". This problem occurs only for non-English queries, both for search in subject and in email body. I tried web-mail Horde 3.2 and Thunderbird. I turned fts plugin off and it correctly finds phrases with 2 and more russian words! So problem is squat. Is it a bug or known config issue?

[Dovecot] virtual namespace question
by Josephus 19 Jan '10

19 Jan '10

Hi, I'm wondering if it is possible to create a virtual namespace on a prefix other than "virtual/". My goal is to mix IMAP folders with virtual folders on the same folder level (prefix = ""). mail_location = maildir:/data/mail/%d/%u/ # Virtual namespace private { prefix = separator = / location = virtual:/data/mail/%d/%u/virtual } # Default namespace private { separator = / prefix = inbox = yes } With this configuration the folders show up on the same level, but I'm unable to subscribe to them. When I change the prefix back to "virtual/" it works, but folders are still gruoped under "virtual". Funny thing is, when I use a prefix something like "vfolder/", the root folder is no longer greyed out in my MUA (TB3), and I get a "Mailbox doesn't exist: vfolder" error msg if I click on it. BR, Jos

[Dovecot] Best way of dealing with Case-Sensitive Issues in Dovecot
by Mario Antonio 19 Jan '10

19 Jan '10

In order to deal with case-sensitive issues, I am thinking to use the variable %L (adding it to my current configs --as suggested before by other users in this list) in the configuration files in this way: In Dovecot.conf: mail_location = maildir:/vmail/%Ld/%Ln/Maildir:INDEX=/indexes/%Ld/%Ln auth default: username_format: %Lu passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: static args: uid=5000 gid=5000 home=/vmail/%Ld/%Ln allow_all_users=yes In dovecot-sql.conf: password_query = select concat(virtual_users.user, '@', virtual_domains.name) AS user, virtual_users.password as password \ from virtual_users LEFT JOIN virtual_domains ON virtual_users.domain_id=virtual_domains.id \ where virtual_users.user='%Ln' and virtual_domains.name='%Ld' and virtual_users.status = 1 and virtual_domains.status = 1; user_query = SELECT 5000 AS uid,5000 AS gid,'/vmail/%Ld/%Ln' as home, \ concat('*:storage= ', virtual_users.quota_kb) AS quota_rule \ from virtual_users LEFT JOIN virtual_domains ON virtual_users.domain_id=virtual_domains.id \ where virtual_users.user='%Ln' and virtual_domains.name='%Ld' Is this the correct way of assuring lowercase use all over the place? Can I use the variable %L in where sql statements? Regards, Mario Antonio

[Dovecot] expire plugin doesn't find mail location
by Roland Rosenfeld 19 Jan '10

19 Jan '10

Hi! After searching for hours now, I give up and have to ask here. I try to use the expire plugin but it always tries to expire my mails instead of the mails of the user. I read about the "Mail location setting problem (v1.1-v1.2) and configured a "mail" extra field in the userdb, but that doesn't have the effect I want. I have not idea, what I could try out more, so I ask here. My setup is the following: # 1.2.9: /usr/local/dovecot/etc/dovecot.conf # OS: SunOS 5.10 sun4v zfs syslog_facility: local6 protocols: imap pop3 managesieve listen(default): * listen(imap): * listen(pop3): * listen(managesieve): *:2000, *:4190 ssl: no disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /usr/local/dovecot/var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/local/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/local/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/local/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login login_executable(managesieve): /usr/local/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/managesieve-login mail_uid: 2001 mail_gid: 2001 mail_location: maildir:/var/mailstore/%2Mn/%n/mail mail_debug: yes mail_executable(default): /usr/local/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/local/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/local/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_executable(managesieve): /usr/local/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/managesieve mail_plugins(default): quota imap_quota expire mail_plugins(imap): quota imap_quota expire mail_plugins(pop3): quota expire mail_plugins(managesieve): mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/local/dovecot/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/local/dovecot/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/local/dovecot/lib/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(managesieve): /usr/local/dovecot/lib/dovecot/managesieve pop3_uidl_format(default): %08Xu%08Xv pop3_uidl_format(imap): %08Xu%08Xv pop3_uidl_format(pop3): %v.%u pop3_uidl_format(managesieve): %08Xu%08Xv namespace: type: private separator: / inbox: yes list: yes subscriptions: yes lda: postmaster_address: postmaster(a)netcologne.de hostname: mailstore20.netcologne.de mail_plugins: sieve quota expire auth_socket_path: /usr/local/dovecot/var/run/dovecot/auth-master auth default: master_user_separator: * verbose: yes debug: yes passdb: driver: passwd-file args: /usr/local/dovecot/etc/passwd.master pass: yes master: yes passdb: driver: sql args: /usr/local/dovecot/etc/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: prefetch userdb: driver: sql args: /usr/local/dovecot/etc/dovecot-sql.conf socket: type: listen master: path: /usr/local/dovecot/var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 user: vmail plugin: quota: maildir expire: INBOX 60 Spam 60 Papierkorb 60 Trash 1 expire_dict: proxy::expire dict: expire: mysql:/usr/local/dovecot/etc/dovecot-dict-expire.conf With the following dovecot-sql.conf: driver = mysql connect = host=localhost dbname=cyrus user=cyrus password=XXXX default_pass_scheme = CRYPT password_query = \ SELECT username, password, concat('*:storage=', quota) AS userdb_quota_rule, '/var/mailstore/%2Mn/%n' as userdb_home, 'maildir:/var/mailstore/%2Mn/%n/mail' as userdb_mail \ FROM passwd WHERE username='%n' user_query = \ SELECT concat('*:storage=', quota) AS quota_rule, '/var/mailstore/%2Mn/%n' as home, 'maildir:/var/mailstore/%2Mn/%n/mail' as mail \ FROM passwd WHERE username='%n' And this is dovecot-dict-expire.conf: connect = host=localhost dbname=dovecot user=dovecot password=XXXXXX map { pattern = shared/expire/$user/$mailbox table = expires value_field = expire_stamp fields { username = $user mailbox = $mailbox } } In user test's Trash folder there are mails that are older than 1 day and in dovecot.expires there is +----------+---------+--------------+ | username | mailbox | expire_stamp | +----------+---------+--------------+ | test | Trash | 1262779049 | +----------+---------+--------------+ But if I run /usr/local/dovecot/sbin/dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/local/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/expire-tool.sh --test I get the following output: Info: Loading modules from directory: /usr/local/dovecot/lib/dovecot/imap Info: Module loaded: /usr/local/dovecot/lib/dovecot/imap/lib10_quota_plugin.so Info: Module loaded: /usr/local/dovecot/lib/dovecot/imap/lib20_expire_plugin.so Info: Quota root: name= backend=maildir args= Info: expire: pattern=INBOX type=expunge secs=5184000 Info: expire: pattern=Spam type=expunge secs=5184000 Info: expire: pattern=Papierkorb type=expunge secs=5184000 Info: expire: pattern=Trash type=expunge secs=86400 Info: auth input: quota_rule=*:storage=10000 Info: auth input: home=/var/mailstore/09/test Info: auth input: mail=maildir:/var/mailstore/09/test/mail Info: Namespace: type=private, prefix=, sep=/, inbox=yes, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes Info: maildir: data=/var/mailstore/df/rrosenfeld/mail Info: maildir++: root=/var/mailstore/df/rrosenfeld/mail, index=, control=, inbox=/var/mailstore/df/rrosenfeld/mail Info: test/Trash: no messages left Info: test/Spam: stop, expire time in future: Sat Mar 6 12:35:10 2010 As you can see, it uses my username (rrosenfeld) instead of the username "test", whose mailbox should be expired. But while the above it printed to the console I get the following in the logfile: Jan 12 15:33:54 mailstore20 dovecot: [ID 583609 local6.info] dict: mysql: Connected to localhost (dovecot) Jan 12 15:33:54 mailstore20 dovecot: [ID 583609 local6.info] auth(default): master in: USER 1 test service=internal Jan 12 15:33:54 mailstore20 dovecot: [ID 583609 local6.info] auth(default): prefetch(test): passdb didn't return userdb entries, trying the next userdb Jan 12 15:33:54 mailstore20 dovecot: [ID 583609 local6.info] auth-worker(default): sql(test): SELECT concat('*:storage=', quota) AS quota_rule, '/var/mailstore/09/test' as home, 'maildir:/var/mailstore/09/test/mail' as mail FROM passwd WHERE username='test' Jan 12 15:33:54 mailstore20 dovecot: [ID 583609 local6.info] auth-worker(default): mysql: Connected to localhost (cyrus) Jan 12 15:33:54 mailstore20 dovecot: [ID 583609 local6.info] auth(default): master out: USER 1 test quota_rule=*:storage=10000 home=/var/mailstore/09/test mail=maildir:/var/mailstore/09/test/mail As you can see, the auth engine sees the request for the user "test". It also returns the correct home and mail attributes (the above messages were triggered by my expire call!). I tried out to comment out the mail_location from dovecot.conf to make sure that the mail attribute from userdb is used, but this has the effect, that dovecot expire does not know any mail location setting at all and tries some "home" directories and different mail storage formats while my setting mail=maildir:/var/mailstore/09/test/mail from the userdb is completely ignored: Info: Loading modules from directory: /usr/local/dovecot/lib/dovecot/imap Info: Module loaded: /usr/local/dovecot/lib/dovecot/imap/lib10_quota_plugin.so Info: Module loaded: /usr/local/dovecot/lib/dovecot/imap/lib20_expire_plugin.so Info: Quota root: name= backend=maildir args= Info: expire: pattern=INBOX type=expunge secs=5184000 Info: expire: pattern=Spam type=expunge secs=5184000 Info: expire: pattern=Papierkorb type=expunge secs=5184000 Info: expire: pattern=Trash type=expunge secs=86400 Info: auth input: quota_rule=*:storage=10000 Info: auth input: home=/var/mailstore/09/test Info: auth input: mail=maildir:/var/mailstore/09/test/mail Info: Namespace: type=private, prefix=, sep=/, inbox=yes, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes Info: cydir: mailbox location not given Info: cydir: Couldn't create mail storage : Root mail directory not given Info: dbox: mailbox location not given Info: dbox: Couldn't create mail storage : Root mail directory not given Info: maildir: access(/var/mailstore/09/test/Maildir, rwx): failed: No such file or directory Info: maildir: couldn't find root dir Info: maildir: Couldn't create mail storage : Root mail directory not given Info: mbox: root exists (/var/mailstore/09/test/mail) Info: mbox: INBOX: access(/var/mail/test, rw) failed: No such file or directory Info: mbox: INBOX: access(/var/spool/mail/test, rw) failed: No such file or directory Info: mbox: INBOX defaulted to /var/mailstore/09/test/mail/inbox Info: fs: root=/var/mailstore/09/test/mail, index=, control=, inbox=/var/mailstore/09/test/mail/inbox Info: test/Trash: no messages left Info: test/Spam: stop, expire time in future: Sat Mar 6 12:35:10 2010 As you can see, expire tries to access different (default?) mailbox typies instead of simply using maildir:/var/mailstore/09/test/mail as defined in the userdb. So my main problem seems to be, that the mail attribute from the userdb is completely ignored in expire calls. But how do I fix this?

Hi, sometimes mails that i discard via sieve gets delivered to my inbox and i can not figure out why. So i hope you can give me a hint. My setup is: I use a self compiled dovecot 1.2.4 with installed sieve and managesieve plugin. Incoming mails a processed by Postfix and the delivered to Procmail. Procmail invokes Spamassassin and discard all mails marked as spam. The other mails are passed to Dovecot deliver this way: :0 w | /opt/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/deliver For moving mails to subdirectorys this works always, but not for mails that are discard via Sieve. Examples are: if header :contains "List-Id" "git.vger.kernel.org" { if header :contains "Subject" "[ANNOUNCE]" { fileinto "Announce"; stop; } if header :contains "Subject" "[ANN]" { fileinto "Announce"; stop; } if header :contains "Subject" "[PATCH" { discard; stop; } fileinto "Lists.Git"; stop; } or if header :contains "Organization" "web.de" { discard; stop; } This often works, but sometimes it fails. Procmail reports then that deliver reported an error (but not which) and delivers them to my inbox. There are also no message in dovecots or dovecot delivers log file. Dose anybody have an idea?

Hi, I want to configure dovecot as gmail imap proxy. If any system in my network wants to connect to imap.gmail.com,993 it has to go through the dovecot proxy. Is it possible to setup such environment with dovecot? If yes, can you please help me to configure my dovecot server. Warm Regards Supratik

Hi all, is there some easy way to inform Dovecot about a new delivery, which has happened after postfix invoked maildrop, so the index files would be updated?

[Dovecot] Socket permission 432/384 and dovecot.conf
by Seba 19 Jan '10

19 Jan '10

Sorry for that question but: when you set in dovecot.conf this for example: socket listen { client { path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode = 0660 user = postfix group = postfix } } and you run "dovecot -n" you'll see client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 I'm wondering about the mode "432" - how is this value calculated? Same for the auth/master socket socket - the value ist "384" and in dovecot.conf it's 0600. Thanks for any info. Seba

[Dovecot] Dovecot Proxy and environment variables
by BaQs 19 Jan '10

19 Jan '10

Dear list, First of all, I am French so excuse my bad english. I am currently using dovecot proxy feature, using sql backend. I "proxy" the imap/pop requests to another server, let's say server2. On server2, I use a script to keep up to date a "pop before smtp auth" database. I used mail_executable = /path/to/this/script.sh ... My problem is: the $IP environment variable on server2 is the proxy's IP. How could I give a variable from proxy to server2, or simply get the real client public IP ? Thanks a lot in advance for your answers Pierre. PS: let me also thank very much dovecot developers and community !

[Dovecot] No filelocking at "shared-mailboxes" dictionary?
by Peer Heinlein 19 Jan '10

19 Jan '10

Using imapsync I changed many ACLs on many accounts simultaneously in four concurrent IMAP-sessions. I started with an empty file "shared-mailboxes". But after the sync the file "shared-mailboxes" has been crashed. I found broken lines and I'm missing some entrys. Is it possible that there's no filelocking on that file? I used the ext3 filesystem. That's what shred-mailboxes looks like at the moment: shared/shared-box 1 shared/shared-boxes/user/user1.example.com/user2.example.com 1 .example.com/user5.example.com 1 hared/shared-boxes/user/user6.example.com/user4.example.c2442203233424^? 1 ser/user7.example.com/user2.example.com Peer dovecot -n: # 1.2.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.27.39-0.2-default x86_64 openSUSE 11.1 (x86_64) protocols: imap imaps managesieve ssl_cert_file: /etc/ssl/old.pem ssl_key_file: /etc/ssl/old.pem shutdown_clients: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(managesieve): /usr/lib/dovecot/managesieve-login login_process_per_connection: no login_max_processes_count: 512 max_mail_processes: 1024 mail_max_userip_connections(default): 40 mail_max_userip_connections(imap): 40 mail_max_userip_connections(managesieve): 10 verbose_proctitle: yes mail_uid: vmail mail_gid: vmail mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir mail_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-usernamenmigration mail_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-usernamenmigration mail_executable(managesieve): /usr/lib/dovecot/managesieve mail_plugins(default): quota imap_quota acl imap_acl mail_plugins(imap): quota imap_quota acl imap_acl mail_plugins(managesieve): mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib64/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib64/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(managesieve): /usr/lib64/dovecot/modules/managesieve namespace: type: private separator: / inbox: yes list: yes subscriptions: yes namespace: type: shared separator: / prefix: zz_SHARED_ACCOUNTS/%%u/ location: maildir:%%h/Maildir:INDEX=~/Maildir/shared/%%u list: yes lda: postmaster_address: postmaster(a)iea-dpc.org mail_plugins: quota acl sieve mail_plugin_dir: /usr/lib64/dovecot/modules/lda quota_full_tempfail: yes auth default: mechanisms: plain login digest-md5 cram-md5 verbose: yes debug: yes debug_passwords: yes passdb: driver: passwd-file args: /etc/dovecot/userdb userdb: driver: passwd-file args: /etc/dovecot/userdb userdb: driver: static args: uid=5001 gid=5001 socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 432 user: vmail group: vmail plugin: quota: maildir quota_rule: *:storage=102400 acl: vfile acl_shared_dict: file:/var/lib/dovecot/shared-mailboxes sieve: ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir: ~/sieve -- Heinlein Professional Linux Support GmbH Linux: Akademie - Support - Hosting http://www.heinlein-support.de Tel: 030 / 40 50 51 - 0 Fax: 030 / 40 50 51 - 19 Zwangsangaben lt. §35a GmbHG: HRB 93818 B / Amtsgericht Berlin-Charlottenburg, Geschäftsführer: Peer Heinlein -- Sitz: Berlin

[Dovecot] Upgrade path questions
by Thomas M Goerger 18 Jan '10

18 Jan '10

Hi, We are currently running Dovecot v1.1.6 on our servers, and are contemplating an upgrade to 1.2, or 2.0 soon. We are wondering how many organizations are still running a 1.1 version of Dovecot, and if anyone has any thoughts on this transition. Have you upgraded from 1.1 to 1.2? What are your experiences with this? Have you upgraded from 1.1 to 2.0 directly? What are your experiences this way? We are also running an environment with both mbox and maildir formats. How many of you are running similarly, or are running solely maildir or mbox? We're just looking to gather information going forward, and anything you might be able to contribute would be very helpful. Thanks! ************************************************************************* * Tom Goerger - Email/Unix System Administrator * * * * University of Minnesota Email: tmg(a)umn.edu * * Operations, Infrastructure and Architecture Phone: 4-5804 * * Internet Services Office: 626J WBOB * * * *************************************************************************

[Dovecot] Strange permission problem with Maildir

[Dovecot] how-to use dsync to do a 2 ways replication ?
by Eric Belhomme 18 Jan '10

18 Jan '10

Hi, I want to set-up two dovecot imap servers, with active-active replicated maildirs. The goal is to have a hosted public server on Internet, and a private server on my LAN to speed-up local connections. So I compiled dovecot 2.0 beta 1 in order to use dsync utility... Actually my config is pretty simple as I just want to setup a proof of concept before going ahead in this way : (Both servers are Debian Lenny with excatly the same config) mail0:~# /usr/local/dovecot2/sbin/dovecot -n # 2.0.beta1: /etc/dovecot2/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 i686 Debian 5.0.3 auth_debug = yes auth_verbose = yes login_trusted_networks = 172.16.64.0/18 mail_location = maildir:%h passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/userpasswd deny = no driver = passwd-file } postmaster_address = postmaster(a)example.com service pop3-login { inet_listener { port = 110 } inet_listener { port = 995 ssl = yes } } service imap-login { inet_listener { port = 143 } inet_listener { port = 993 ssl = yes } } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = prefetch } userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/userpasswd driver = passwd-file } I logged on the first server with an IMAP client then I copied many email through IMAP, then I launched dsync as root : /usr/local/dovecot2/bin/dsync -v mirror 'ssh eole.it.fr.eve /usr/local/dovecot2/bin/dsync' root(a)eole.it.fr.eve's password: dsync-local(root): Error: Can't create mailbox ssh: Mailbox already exists dsync-local(root): Error: Can't create mailbox aptitude: Mailbox already exists dsync-local(root): Error: Can't create mailbox debtags: Mailbox already exists dsync-local(root): Info: debtags: only in source dsync-local(root): Info: aptitude: only in source dsync-local(root): Info: ssh: only in source dsync-local(root): Info: ssh: only in dest dsync-local(root): Info: aptitude: only in dest dsync-local(root): Info: debtags: only in dest dsync-local(root): Error: Mailbox ssh changed its GUID (cdfc9a2d85154e4b47180000b31a5865 -> 541e9f2850234e4b3a2b0000d0cf7273) dsync-local(root): Error: msg iteration failed: Couldn't open mailbox dsync-remote(root): Error: Can't create mailbox debtags: Mailbox already exists dsync-remote(root): Error: Can't create mailbox aptitude: Mailbox already exists dsync-remote(root): Error: Can't create mailbox ssh: Mailbox already exists dsync-remote(root): Error: Mailbox debtags changed its GUID (501e9f2850234e4b3a2b0000d0cf7273 -> d1fc9a2d85154e4b47180000b31a5865) dsync-remote(root): Error: msg iteration failed: Couldn't open mailbox dsync-remote(root): Error: command MSG-LIST failed dsync-local(root): Error: Mailbox ssh changed its GUID (cdfc9a2d85154e4b47180000b31a5865 -> 541e9f2850234e4b3a2b0000d0cf7273) dsync-local(root): Error: Mailbox aptitude changed its GUID (cffc9a2d85154e4b47180000b31a5865 -> 521e9f2850234e4b3a2b0000d0cf7273) dsync-local(root): Error: Mailbox debtags changed its GUID (d1fc9a2d85154e4b47180000b31a5865 -> 501e9f2850234e4b3a2b0000d0cf7273) dsync-local(root): Error: Mailbox ssh changed its GUID (cdfc9a2d85154e4b47180000b31a5865 -> 541e9f2850234e4b3a2b0000d0cf7273) dsync-local(root): Error: Mailbox aptitude changed its GUID (cffc9a2d85154e4b47180000b31a5865 -> 521e9f2850234e4b3a2b0000d0cf7273) dsync-local(root): Error: Mailbox debtags changed its GUID (d1fc9a2d85154e4b47180000b31a5865 -> 501e9f2850234e4b3a2b0000d0cf7273) mail0:~# dsync-remote(root): Error: Mailbox debtags changed its GUID (501e9f2850234e4b3a2b0000d0cf7273 -> d1fc9a2d85154e4b47180000b31a5865) dsync-remote(root): Error: Mailbox aptitude changed its GUID (521e9f2850234e4b3a2b0000d0cf7273 -> cffc9a2d85154e4b47180000b31a5865) dsync-remote(root): Error: Mailbox ssh changed its GUID (541e9f2850234e4b3a2b0000d0cf7273 -> cdfc9a2d85154e4b47180000b31a5865) dsync-remote(root): Error: Mailbox debtags changed its GUID (501e9f2850234e4b3a2b0000d0cf7273 -> d1fc9a2d85154e4b47180000b31a5865) dsync-remote(root): Error: Mailbox aptitude changed its GUID (521e9f2850234e4b3a2b0000d0cf7273 -> cffc9a2d85154e4b47180000b31a5865) dsync-remote(root): Error: Mailbox ssh changed its GUID (541e9f2850234e4b3a2b0000d0cf7273 -> cdfc9a2d85154e4b47180000b31a5865) It seems dsync tries to use my system user database instead of the /etc/dovecot/userpasswd file !

[Dovecot] Adding support for a new storage format - plugin?
by Brad Hards 18 Jan '10

18 Jan '10

Hi, I've spent a little bit of time looking at the dovecot source (from the unstable 2.0 development tree), and I think I'm starting to get it together... Background: I'm interested in dovecot to provide IMAP access to an existing database backed server store (http://www.openchange.org for more details). The goal is to provide parallel access using either IMAP or the exchange RPC protocol. If I understand this stuff: * I can potentially provide access to the store using a plugin. It looks like the virtual mailbox plugin is a potential example here. * I may need to also provide an authentication plugin (not sure whether I can just re-use the existing ldap backend - quite possibly a useful option in my scenario) * I probably can't use the existing SQL code, since it uses its own schema. * I may need to provide some locking to ensure things are always in a consistent state for both IMAP and exchange RPC. Comments? Suggestions? Brad

I need to listen on both 993 (for some stupid clients I have to support that can't do START TLS) and 80 (to get past L3/L4 firewalls). I'd like to do it in dovecot rather than use nc, ipfilter or whatever. -frank

[Dovecot] handling filename of compressed messages
by Leonardo Rodrigues 17 Jan '10

17 Jan '10

i'm running dovecot 1.2.9 and, among other things, i have the zlib plugin enabled. A shell script runs once a day to compresses all not still compressed files on the users maildirs. so far so good, it works fine, there's no problem on that. what i think is not happening 100% correctly is the following: 1) user receives a message 2) BEFORE the compress routine runs, filename is: new/1263436052.V6814I43300b4M146002.correio.domain.com.br,S=238207 3) AFTER the compress routine, filename is now: new/1263436052.V6814I43300b4M146002.correio.domain.com.br,S=238207.gz 4) user check his mail .... and now the filename is cur/1263436052.V6814I43300b4M146002.correio.domain.com.br,S=238207.gz:2,S 5) user replies that mail .... and now the filename is cur/1263436052.V6814I43300b4M146002.correio.domain.com.br,S=238207.gz:2,RS i'm aware that dovecot doesnt need the '.gz' extension on the file to recognize that as a gzipped file. Even without the .gz extension, dovecot is correctly reading the file. the '.gz' is not even necessary on the filename and still dovecot can handle it fine. anyway, i would like to suggest dovecot to handle the filename to keep the .gz extension, if that exists. This could help sysadmins to easily identify gzipped files on the maildirs and make anything with them, if that's desired. i would like to see dovecot changing filenames properly and keeping the .gz extension always, for example cur/1263436052.V6814I43300b4M146002.correio.domain.com.br,S=238207:2,S.gz instead of cur/1263436052.V6814I43300b4M146002.correio.domain.com.br,S=238207.gz:2,S cur/1263436052.V6814I43300b4M146002.correio.domain.com.br,S=238207:2,RS.gz instead of cur/1263436052.V6814I43300b4M146002.correio.domain.com.br,S=238207.gz:2,RS -- 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] sieve: failed to save binary

RHEL 5.3 Dovecot 2.0 beta1 dovecot-sieve (updated 1 week ago, changeset a3eb0b0b2ddf) Jan 15 11:30:06 mail4a dovecot: lmtp(31015, testmail4a2(a)dev.p4nt5.com) sieve: using sieve path for user's script: /data/mail/de/ dev.p4nt5.com/te/testmail4a2/.dovecot.sieve Jan 15 11:30:06 mail4a dovecot: lmtp(31015, testmail4a2(a)dev.p4nt5.com) sieve: executed before user's script(1): /etc/dovecot/dovecot-global-sieve.sieve Jan 15 11:30:06 mail4a dovecot: lmtp(31015, testmail4a2(a)dev.p4nt5.com) afEDDB6mUEsneQAA0TR52A: sieve: failed to save binary: open(/etc/dovecot/dovecot-global-sieve.svbinmail4a.31015.) failed: Permission denied (euid=5000(virtual) egid=5000(virtual) missing +w perm: /etc/dovecot) It seems that Dovecot wants to save it as something specific with a different name. Even running sievec manually does not make it work. Thanks, Wenjie

I'm moving back to Finland tomorrow. It's probably going to take a week or so until things settle down and I'm again back to coding.

[Dovecot] shared namespace bug?
by Patrick Kaiser 14 Jan '10

14 Jan '10

Hi, finally i got shared namespace up and running. But for example if user peter.griffin shares his inbox to another user, the LIST "" "*" output on telnet looks like: a02 LIST "" "*" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Trash" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "INBOX" * LIST (\Noselect) "/" "shared/peter.griffi" * LIST (\HasChildren) "/" "shared/peter.griffin" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "shared/peter.griffinINBOX" a02 OK List completed. To share the inbox I previously run as logged in user peter.griffin a02 SETACL inbox peter.griffin lwxrk If I look in thunderbird, i can see under "share" two folders: peter.griffi and peter.griffin. Have i made something wrong, or is this a bug? Hope someone can help me. thanks, patrick -- Name : Patrick Kaiser Email : patrick.kaiser(a)argonius.de Phone : +49 (178) 8452388 Website : http://www.argonius.de GPG Key : http://www.argonius.de/key.pub

[Dovecot] uw-imap compatability hack?
by Simon Annetts 14 Jan '10

14 Jan '10

Hi all Apologies if this question has already been asked before... I'm migrating from a uw-imap setup where the mail folders were in a subdir mail/ in the users' home directories. All of the clients are configured with 'IMAP server directory' set to mail/ (Thunderbird) and it would be difficult to change this on the clients (there are 1000s of them) I want to use maildir and I have converted the original mbox files in ~mail/ to maildir format. So in ~Maildir/ I now have: cur dovecot.index dovecot.index.cache dovecot.index.log dovecot-uidlist .Drafts new .Sent-Items .Spam subscriptions tmp .Trash if I remove the mail/ setting from 'IMAP server directory' in the client, then everything works as expected and all the folders are visible. With this setting in however, only the inbox is visible and attempts to click on another folder, say Trash result in the client error: Mailbox doesn't exist .mail.Trash I've tried various namespace configurations I found in the namespaces wiki example but none seem to work. What I would really like to happen is for dovecot to ignore this setting supplied by the client and not to prepend .mail onto the folders it is looking for. Is there a clever namespace that will do this for me, or some other setting or symlink trickery? Ultimately I want to support clients that might have both mail/ and nothing set in this box.

[Dovecot] How to configure dovecot to listen on multiple separate port numbers
by Rick Thomas 14 Jan '10

14 Jan '10

Is there any way to tell dovecot to listen for imap/imaps requests on all interfaces on multiple separate ports? For example, can I do this: protocol imap { listen = *:10143 listen = *:143 ssl_listen = *:10993 ssl_listen = *:993 ... } Thanks! Rick
