[Dovecot] Dovecot 1.2.+
by Tom Mihalicek 16 Dec '09

16 Dec '09

The Dovecot version is 1.2.8 and i am using an LDAP for a user database. The problem is following... i would like to use a quota dictionary backend from file rather than sql proxy for some reasons. Is it possible to get the full path for dovecot-quota file location from LDAP like from mail variable (/mailboxes/storage_01/domain.org/u/us/use/user/dbox/dovecot-quota)? /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf user_attrs = storageBase=home,mailMessageStore=mail=dbox:~/%$/dbox/,mailQuota=quota_rule=*:bytes=%$,mailQuotaMessageLimit=quota_rule2=*:messages=%$ Also is it also possible the same for sieve location? I can solve the problem by adding in dovecot.conf sieve = /var/sieve/%Ld/%Ln/dovecot.sieve but i would like to have it all in one place ... t -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Dovecot-1.2.%2B-tp26803721p26803721.html Sent from the Dovecot mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Dovecot] v1.2.9 released
by Timo Sirainen 16 Dec '09

16 Dec '09

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/dovecot-1.2.9.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/dovecot-1.2.9.tar.gz.sig Hopefully this release will be enough bug-free that I don't need to make v1.2 releases for next few months. * maildir: When saving, filenames now always contain ,S=<size>. Previously this was done only when quota plugin was loaded. It's required for zlib plugin and may be useful for other things too. + lazy-expunge: Support a single-namespace configuration. If a mailbox is deleted, its messages are merged with its old expunged messages (if there were any). + expire: Settings now support spaces in mailbox names by using quoted strings. - maildir: v1.2.7 and v1.2.8 caused assert-crashes in maildir_uidlist_records_drop_expunges() - maildir_copy_preserve_filename=yes could have caused crashes. - Maildir++ quota: % limits weren't updated when limits were read from maildirsize. - virtual: v1.2.8 didn't fully fix the "lots of mailboxes" bug - virtual: Fixed updating virtual mailbox based on flag changes. - fts-squat: Fixed searching multi-byte characters.

[Dovecot] v2.0.beta1
by Pascal Volk 16 Dec '09

16 Dec '09

Hi Timo, the imap_client_workarounds are not always parsed. There was on situation, in which cmd->client->set->parsed_workarounds was set to WORKAROUND_TB_EXTRA_MAILBOX_SEP. Sorry, I can't remember what I have done. But when I try to delete a mailbox with Thunderbird imap_client_workarounds are not parsed: (gdb) print cmd->client->set->imap_client_workarounds $7 = 0x1422de0 "tb-extra-mailbox-sep" (gdb) print cmd->client->set->parsed_workarounds $8 = 0 And therefor the command 'x delete box_with_trailing_slash/' fails.

[Dovecot] CRAM-MD5 in Python
by Andre 16 Dec '09

16 Dec '09

Hi to all! I’m writing a python module (python+sqlalchemy) to manage user and domain configuration on my system (I hope to get a CLI tool, a Web app and even a native Mac app, via PyObjc, from my lib). I’m implementing password crypto, but I have some problem in generating CRAM-MD5 password, dovecot style. I’ve found an old discussion on this mailing list and a piece of Perl that works, but I need to implement it in Python; I’ve even read code (hmac-md5.c), but before start hard coding (hard from my POV at least, since I’ve never worked with crypto algorithms in a deep way), is there anyone that have had solved the problem or has any idea on how to approach it? TIA Andre

[Dovecot] S=xxx missing in new messages
by Andre 16 Dec '09

16 Dec '09

Hi to all! I’m setting up dovecot 1.2.8 on my system to substitute an older IMAP server and I’m testing all features of Dovecot. Yesterday I was testing support for zlib, for compressed messages, to set up a new namespace for old mails and I read that it is safe to compress only mails that have the field “S=XXX” in their name (XXX being the original size of message) and to leave uncompressed the ones that don’t have S=XXX in their name. Testing and searching I discovered that only new mail, mail that used to arrive in mailbox via SMTP have S=XXX, mail copied from another mailbox loose S=XXX. Later I’ve found that this not work anymore, even directly delivered mail messages do not have S=XXX anymore. I use dovecot-lda as delivery program and postfix as SMTP server, but I’ve not touched postfix configuration since one month ago. What can it be? How can I have S=XXX again in my messages file name? TIA Andrea

[Dovecot] Kerberos Cross-Real username
by Nikolay Shopik 16 Dec '09

16 Dec '09

Hi List, Is anyone is running Dovecot with Kerberos and tried to authenticate user from different REALM and have same user principal with default domain. Currently Dovecot only logs user principal w/o REALM. So before I go in production maybe somebody already run into this using Dovecot? If not I just create virtual machines and see how it behaves.

[Dovecot] mail_max_userip_connections
by Richard Stockton 15 Dec '09

15 Dec '09

What is the appropriate setting for mail_max_userip_connections ? My POP3 connections seem to be mostly 1 at a time, but my IMAP connections are often 3 per user per IP. Is this appropriate? If I change the IMAP setting to mail_max_userip_connections=1 will it break things for the user? I am trying to improve this situation: > ps auxwww | grep "imap " | wc 237 3080 22400 TIA, - Richard

[Dovecot] Dovecot truncating Inboxes?
by Harald Strack 15 Dec '09

15 Dec '09

Hi, Environment: >10000 Users (LDAP) Solaris 10 / sparc imap: dovecot-1.1.10 (pam-unix, no direct LDAP access) pop: dovecot-1.0.14 on another server (pam-unix, no direct LDAP access) mta: postfix (pam-unix, no direct LDAP access) procmail (pam-unix, no direct LDAP access) Filesystems: Inboxes and IMAP-home are on two different SAM-FS volumes. Problem description: Inboxes of users are disappearing / are truncated. we are using dovecot-1.1.0 since two month as main IMAP server. It replaced our long running but old version of UW-IMAP. Till the last week we had no problems and it worked quite well and the whole mail system worked in this configuration since several years. But since a week we receive more and more complaints regarding truncated/deleted mailboxes. First, we assumed user/client errors, but as such messages arrive more frequently, we did a deep analysis of the issue. The only common component of our mail system (postfix (local), procmail, pop, imap) that all concerned users have accessed, was dovecot-imap v. 1.1.10. We have no locking problems, we use fcntl(), dotlock for all mail components. We tested this with a small perl script and locking works fine (no delivery to a locked mailbox and so on...) Finally, all indications point to a bug in dovecot. Google and searches in this mailing list did not come up with any valuable results. Are there any known bugs / configuration problems concerned to the described problem? I greatly appreciate any help! Thx in advance Harald Strack

[Dovecot] Configure deliver to add ', S=<size>' to maildir message name
by alhashash-lists＠cilantrocafe.net 15 Dec '09

15 Dec '09

Hi, I want to use the zlib plugin to compress my mail storage. According to the wiki, only messages with size attribute in the message id should by compressed. If I added the size part, dovecot assumes it is a new message. While dovecot undertands the ',S=<size>' attribute (IMAP shows that size), I could not configure deliver to add the size to message name. I'm using dovecot v1.0.13 Regards, M. Alhashash

[Dovecot] Sieve mails with decoded subject
by Johannes Bauer 15 Dec '09

15 Dec '09

Dear all, I accidently posted this message to dovecot-news and want to apologize for any trouble I may have caused. Here it is again to the correct mailing list: Recently I'm getting a ton of porn/viagra/diet/casino spam mails which I tried to filter with sieve: if header :contains "Subject" [ "[SPAM]", "Bett", "Schlafzimmer", "Spielen", "Luder", "abhenmen", "poppen", "Casino", "Bonus", "abnehmen", "Gewinn", "Potenz" ] { addflag "\\seen"; fileinto "Spam"; stop; } Sadly, this didn't work - taking a closer look upon one of the spam mails, it seems the spamming rats have encoded the subject: Subject: =?US-ASCII?B?RW5kbGljaCBtZWhyIGVuZ2FnZW1lbnQgaW0gQmV0dGNoZW4=?= (reads: "Endlich mehr engagement im Bettchen") I'm thinking about filtering all such encoded subjects (as there's no reason to encode them US-ASCII), but suppose it were UTF-8 or something: how can I filter on the actual content, not the encoded subject? Surely someone has solved that problem already? Kind regards, Johannes

Contact info * Author: Timo Sirainen, tss(a)iki.fi <mailto:tss@iki.fi>. * Please use the Dovecot mailing list <http://www.dovecot.org/mailinglists.html> for questions about Dovecot. You don't have to subscribe to it. * Depending on your needs, commercial support may be available. Send a mail if you're interested. according to the above (from the dovecot.org webpage), "commercial support may be available". After spending the better part of today trying unsuccessfully, I am ready to "Send a mail if you're interested". But I do not know WHO to send it to. Likely Timo, but I do not want to be presumptuous. I am on FreeBSD with Dovecot 1.2.4 I need to have both POP3 & IMAP working to replace vm-pop3d (which was POP3 only). Local users are: mbox:/home/%u/mail/:INBOX=/mail/%u with password in /etc/passwd Virtual users (which vm-pop3d handled readily) are mbox:/home/VIRTUAL/%d/%u:INBOX/mail/VIRTUAL/%d/%u with password in /exim/etc/VIRTUAL/%d/passwd It is worth it to me to pay a knowledgeable person to create the correct conf file to make this happen. Who should I contact? Thanks, Jim Pazarena

[Dovecot] User friendly vacation service
by Raymond Lillard 15 Dec '09

15 Dec '09

Dear Dovecot list, I maintain a few small sendmail/dovecot/procmail based mail servers with system users only (no virtual domains or virtual users) on OpenBSD. I have been able to get a vacation system working with both with the native vacation program from OpenBSD and with procmail. I've been looking into dovecot sieve, but it doesn't appear to solve the bigger user complaint which is, they want to be able to control the vacation feature w/o my involvement. What is wanted is a system where the users can send a control mail message to themselves with the reply body in the message or failing that perhaps a secure web page to control the vacation function. Mail administration is NOT a full time job for me. I'm looking for simple, low overhead solutions. Any suggestions? Thanks for your time. Ray

[Dovecot] Doubts about namespace && thunderbird.
by Beto Moreno 14 Dec '09

14 Dec '09

Hi people. I ask this because I'm confuse about the namespace stuff. I setup a server with Centos 5.4(updated)+dovecot 1.0.7+postfix 2.3.3. We use thunderbird 2.0.x as our default email client. I want to use courier-imap inbox layout: Inbox-- sent junk trash draft The inbox as father of the tree, other post say something about a namespace like this: separator = . prefix = Inbox. inbox = yes If I make this, thunderbird go crazy and tell me each time I try to access a user mail that :server respond-->unknown namespace, with this my layout is: Inbox Trash But if I try to access Trash, is went he send me that error and none of my users could access those folders. What is the problem with this? Now if I comment the namespace, my folders goes below the father(Inbox) u could not see the different. Last thing, how can I setup a global layout where each user the first time they log-in thunderbird could make: Trash, Draft, Sent? Thanks!!!

[Dovecot] expire-tool and userdb returned mail location
by Tapio Sokura 14 Dec '09

14 Dec '09

Hello, I'm having problems with expire-tool in Dovecot 1.2.6 not finding the mailboxes. I had mail_location = mbox:/var/spool/dovecotmail/%d/%n/mails:INDEX=/var/spool/dovecotmail/%d/%n/indexes in dovecot.conf, but that doesn't work with expire-tool. So I commented that out from dovecot.conf, all the data is in a database anyway. A userdb lookup returns the following for userid@domain: home = /var/spool/dovecotmail/domain/userid/ mail = mbox:/var/spool/dovecotmail/domain/userid/mails:INDEX=/var/spool/dovecotmail/domain/userid/indexes Now when running expire-tool --test, I get this: Error: Namespace '': Mail storage autodetection failed with home=/var/spool/dovecotmail/domain/userid/ Info: User lookup failed: userid@domain When I run expire-tool under strace, I can see that it is indeed looking for the mails in the typical autodetect locations (Maildir, mail, Mail) under user's home directory. So it appers that expire-tool takes the home directory from userdb, but ignores mail location returned by userdb? Tapio

[Dovecot] IMAP server to move sent mail according to maildroprc?

The whole problem lies in a desire to use these two things in the same time: 1. maildrop filters file for all users messages (to place sent mail right); 2. store / access mails from mailserver, which is also a relayhost. Maybe there are some suggestions in this list on how should I solve the problem?

[Dovecot] outlook 2007 mailbox sort order
by Frank Cusack 12 Dec '09

12 Dec '09

What are people doing to affect the sort order of mailboxes in outlook? Apple Mail and MS Outlook similarly suck in that they do not sort '~' correctly -- mailboxes starting with '~' are first instead of last. At least I think this is the fault of the client, since Mulberry sorts correctly. At least with Apple Mail I can drag and drop mailboxes into any display order I like, so at least after the fact it can be "corrected". I want to provide shared, virtual and lazy_expunge mailboxes. I'd like these to be last in the list of mailboxes. This doesn't seem possible with Outlook unless I prefix the names with 'zz' or similar. yuk. -frank

[Dovecot] v2.0 post-login scripts
by Timo Sirainen 12 Dec '09

12 Dec '09

Post-login scripts work a bit differently in v2.0, because the old way just couldn't work anymore. I suppose at some point I should fork the wiki to v1.x and v2.x and start writing these things there, but for now I'll just write it here: First you'll need to tell imap service that it should connect to postlogin service: service imap { executable = imap imap-postlogin } Then you'll need the imap-postlogin service: # The service name below doesn't actually matter. service imap-postlogin { executable = script rawlog /tmp/test.sh unix_listener imap-postlogin { } } The "script" executable does all the magic. If you want multiple scripts, just make them a chain, like above script first executes rawlog, and rawlog then executes /tmp/test.sh: #!/bin/sh echo "* OK Hello $USER ($IP -> $LOCAL_IP)" export MAIL=maildir:/tmp/test export USERDB_KEYS="$USERDB_KEYS mail" exec $* So it's pretty similar to how it works before, except now you'll also need to update $USERDB_KEYS to contain all environments that you want to pass to imap process.

[Dovecot] id/permissions question
by Kārlis Repsons 11 Dec '09

11 Dec '09

People, There is an imap client, which runs with user1 uid, but when its accessed to watch a maildir, whose (and its contents) ownership is user1:user1, this error occurs: dovecot: IMAP(user1): fchown(/path/user1/dovecot-uidlist.tmp, -1, 12(mail)) failed: Operation not permitted (egid=1000(user1), group based on /path/user1) dovecot.conf contains this line: mail_privileged_group = mail authentication happens through passwd-file, where for user1 its uid and gid are specified as in /etc/passwd and /etc/group. So how should dovecot be told to use user1 group instead of mail group? (or it needs some other solution?)

[Dovecot] Problem using LDAP generating Userhome
by Thorsten Habich 11 Dec '09

11 Dec '09

Hi there, I'm trying to let dovecot generate the userhome directory dynamicly via user_attr. If "uid" is returned from LDAP before "mail" everything is fine, but if "mail" is delivered before "uid" the localpart of the mailaddress is used in home path. e.g.: Mail: testuser(a)domain.de UID : test123 sometimes home is /mail/store/testuser and sometimes /mail/store/test123 depending on the order the ldap server replies. I'm currently using version 1.2.7 of dovecot in testing and 1.1.6 in production. Both have the same "bug". Mails are stored on nfs, indexes are stored local. This is my dovecot-ldap.conf configuration: pass_filter = (|(&(objectClass=mailRecipient)(mail=%u))(&(objectClass=mailRecipient)(mailalternateAddress=%u))(&(objectClass=mailRecipient)(uid=%n))) pass_attrs = uid=user,userPassword=password,mailMessageStore=home=%$/telefonica.de/%Ln,mailFilterStore=sieve_dir=%$/telefonica.de/%Ln user_filter = (|(&(objectClass=mailRecipient)(mail=%u))(&(objectClass=mailRecipient)(mailalternateAddress=%u))(&(objectClass=mailRecipient)(uid=%n))) user_attrs = uid=user,mailMessageStore=home=%$/telefonica.de/%Ln,mailFilterStore=sieve_dir=%$/telefonica.de/%Ln The filter needs to be that way, because you need to be able to authenticate by uid or mailaddress. And the dovecot -n output: # 1.2.7: /etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.18-92.1.13.el5 x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.2 (Tikanga) base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/ log_path: /var/log/dovecot.log info_log_path: /var/log/dovecot-info.log log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S syslog_facility: local1 protocols: imap managesieve listen(default): *:143 listen(imap): *:143 listen(managesieve): *, [::] ssl: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(managesieve): /usr/libexec/dovecot/managesieve-login login_greeting: IMAP mail server ready. max_mail_processes: 200 mail_max_userip_connections(default): 50 mail_max_userip_connections(imap): 50 mail_max_userip_connections(managesieve): 10 verbose_proctitle: yes first_valid_uid: 1 mail_privileged_group: vmail mail_uid: 500 mail_gid: 500 mail_location: maildir:~/:INDEX=/mail/index/%Ln/ mailbox_idle_check_interval: 10 mail_debug: yes mmap_disable: yes mail_nfs_storage: yes mail_nfs_index: yes lock_method: flock mbox_write_locks: dotlock fcntl mail_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(managesieve): /usr/libexec/dovecot/managesieve mail_plugins(default): expire autocreate mail_plugins(imap): expire autocreate mail_plugins(managesieve): mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(managesieve): /usr/lib64/dovecot/managesieve imap_client_workarounds(default): delay-newmail outlook-idle netscape-eoh tb-extra-mailbox-sep imap_client_workarounds(imap): delay-newmail outlook-idle netscape-eoh tb-extra-mailbox-sep imap_client_workarounds(managesieve): managesieve_implementation_string(default): dovecot managesieve_implementation_string(imap): dovecot managesieve_implementation_string(managesieve): Cyrus timsieved v2.2.13 namespace: type: private separator: . prefix: INBOX. inbox: yes list: yes subscriptions: yes namespace: type: public separator: . prefix: Public. location: maildir:/mail/store/a.backend/shared list: yes subscriptions: yes lda: hostname: xxx mail_plugins: sieve expire mail_plugin_dir: /usr/lib64/dovecot/lda auth_socket_path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master postmaster_address: xxx(a)telefonica.de sieve_global_dir: /mail/store/backend/sieve/ auth default: mechanisms: plain login username_format: %Lu verbose: yes debug: yes process_size: 512 passdb: driver: ldap args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf userdb: driver: ldap args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf socket: type: listen client: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-client mode: 432 user: postfix group: vmail master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 user: vmail group: vmail plugin: sieve: ~/%Ln.sieve sieve_dir: ~/sieve sieve_storage: ~/ expire: Trash 7 Trash/* 7 Junk 30 expire_dict: proxy::expire autocreate: INBOX.Trash autocreate2: INBOX.Drafts autocreate3: INBOX.Sent autosubscribe: INBOX.Trash autosubscribe2: INBOX.Drafts autosubscribe3: INBOX.Sent dict: expire: db:/var/lib/dovecot/expire.db Thanks in advanced.

[Dovecot] Dovecot Sieve some rules not working
by tobi 11 Dec '09

11 Dec '09

Hope this list is the right place for a question about dovecot sieve. I have some rules of which some are working and some are not. I cannot understand why two rules wont work. }elsif header :comparator "i;ascii-casemap" :contains "from" "EMAILADDRESS" { fileinto "Computer &- Security.Foren &- Maillists.Synology.Forum"; stop; } elsif header :comparator "i;ascii-casemap" :contains "from" "EMAILADDRESS" { fileinto "Computer &- Security.Foren &- Maillists.PHP-Resource"; stop; } elsif header :comparator "i;ascii-casemap" :contains "subject" "*****SPAM*****" { fileinto "Junk E-mail"; stop; } else { keep; } The first one works as expected. But the second and third one don't work and emails matching those rules remain in INBOX. There are not errors in the errorfile in users home directory. The only thing I changed was to move the Folder "Computer &- Security" and changed the fileinto destinations accordingly. The folder "Junk E-mail" was not moved but the rule that worked before is not working anymore. I have no clue why only part of the rules work and where I could check what the problem coud be. Thanks for any help/hints Cheers tobi

[Dovecot] Account Migration Tool
by dmiller＠amfes.com 10 Dec '09

10 Dec '09

I don't know if this tool already exists, or if not how difficult it would be to implement, but the following is an excerpt from the man page the developer needs to write ;) - "imapcopy", a command-line utility that connects to a given IMAP account and copies the mails to a second IMAP account. This is accomplished using only IMAP commands and may be used with any IMAP compliant server - and may be used to copy mails between servers. Command line options include the ability to delete the messages after the copy (resulting in a move operation), selectively filter mail folders, and auto-folder creation. -- Daniel

[Dovecot] dovecot: Fatal: Time just moved backwards by 3909 seconds.
by Udo Rader 10 Dec '09

10 Dec '09

Hi, after setting up a KVM based virtual guest on one of our virtualization servers, we see dovecot die on that virtual guest regularly because of an alleged time shift. The virtual guest is Centos 5.4 based with dovecot 1.2.8 (at first we also tried with the original 1.0.7 (?) dovecot shipped with Centos). I wrote "alleged time shift" because there is no timeshift whatsoever, or at least I don't notice it anywhere else. ntp is - of course ;-) - up and running and no other applications have time troubles and I've even disabled the local clock as a time reference. As a proof that the time did not shift see this log excerpt: ------CUT------- Nov 29 14:02:22 athesia dovecot: IMAP(atester): Connection closed Nov 29 14:04:11 athesia dovecot: imap-login: Time just moved backwards by 4397 seconds. This might cause a lot of problems, so I'll just kill myself now. http://wiki.dovecot.org/TimeMovedBackwards ------CUT------- So as you see, dovecot successfully logged a message on 14:02 and then complained about the time having shifted 4397 seconds on 14:04 ... Thanks in advance -- Udo Rader, CTO http://www.bestsolution.at http://riaschissl.blogspot.com

[Dovecot] Overriding Default Subscription Behavior
by Tony Rutherford 10 Dec '09

10 Dec '09

The subscription files we're migrating from have a "." for folder separation. We will be using Dovecot's maildir with LAYOUT=fs. It's looking for "/" as the separator in the subscription file. So, obviously we could simply write a script to swap the two characters. However, just curious if there are any options for doing this within a plugin (since we're already doing some things in a plugin) by overriding some of the subscription code.something like the "next_line()" in subscriptions.c. I don't see any vfuncs in this area, aside from set_subscribed() I believe.but maybe there's a better spot I'm not thinking of? One thing I've learned with Dovecot is that it somehow supports things I didn't believe it could/would, so I thought I'd ask. Tony

[Dovecot] PostgreSQL connection bug
by Daniel Howard 10 Dec '09

10 Dec '09

Hello, There seems to be a bug which can affect systems using PostgreSQL as a user or password database. Usually there is just one postgres connection, but if the query fails for any reason, the failed connection is left open and dovecot will keep opening new connections for each auth attempt. I discovered this with a setup using PAM, AND a database to authenticate. Most users login with an account number (integer) which is looked up in the postgres database. Some users have a unix system account, and use their system username to log in (string). Dovecot was set up to check the database first, then try PAM. When a system user logged in, the SQL query failed because it couldn't coerce the system user's username into an integer. In these cases, Dovecot would still fall back to PAM authentication, and the user would log in, but the postgres connection would remain stuck. Gradually the number of connections would increase until postgres failed. I worked around this by converting the account numbers in the database from integers to strings. Now the query never fails and there's only ever 1 dovecot connection. Hopefully this will help someone. dovecot --version 1.0.15 dovecot -n # 1.0.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir auth default: passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd userdb: driver: prefetch cat dovecot-sql.conf | egrep -v "^#" driver = pgsql connect = host=localhost dbname=rapidgroup user=dovecot password=********* default_pass_scheme = PLAIN password_query = SELECT userid as user, password, userdb_mail, userdb_uid, userdb_gid FROM dovecotview WHERE userid='%u' Cheers, Dan

i'll guess the solution to my problem will be something simple and obvious, because i know i ain't the first person to do this and it ain't all that complicated, but i've been staring at it for days and can't see what's wrong. new installation; os x snow leopard server; postfix 2.5.5; dovecot 1.1.17apple0.5 i'm trying to get SMTP auth working via SASL. using a plain password scheme and plain auth scheme over SSL. client is apple mail. deliveries are working, and dovecot's pop3s and imaps are working just fine. my configuration is the same simple config that is well documented on both the postfix and dovecot sites. when i attempt to use smtp auth from a mail client, postfix says SASL plain authentication failed unable to lookup user record smtp authentication also fails if i use the usual command line method: # telnet localhost 25 Escape character is '^]'. 220 osx-106.example.com ESMTP Postfix EHLO foobie.example.com 250-osx-106.example.com 250-PIPELINING 250-SIZE 10485760 250-VRFY 250-ETRN 250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN CRAM-MD5 250-STARTTLS 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES 250-8BITMIME 250 DSN AUTH PLAIN blah blah blah 535 Error: authentication failed i've scoured months worth of postfix and dovecot list archives and although there are many sasl related issues i didn't see anything specific to this. as expected, the socket is srw-rw---- 1 _postfix _postfix 0 Dec 4 08:51 /var/spool/postfix/private/auth lsof shows the socket is open by dovecot-auth (which is running as root): dovecot-a 63614 root 5u unix 0x0888b990 0t0 /var/spool/postfix/private/auth i have not seen the socket opened by postfix, but i'm assuming that is a transient event and would be difficult to capture (at least with lsof). so both postfix and dovecot have read/write access to the socket. the credentials sent are the same whether they're sent via a true pop3 client or via the command line. when sent via the command line, they're generated via perl -MMIME::Base64 -e 'print encode_base64("\0username\0password");'and i've verified they're correct via decode_base64 config stuff: # postconf -n biff = no command_directory = /usr/sbin config_directory = /etc/postfix content_filter = smtp-amavis:[127.0.0.1]:10024 daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix debug_peer_level = 2 enable_server_options = yes header_checks = pcre:/etc/postfix/custom_header_checks html_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix/html inet_interfaces = all mail_owner = _postfix mailbox_size_limit = 0 mailbox_transport = dovecot mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq manpage_directory = /usr/share/man message_size_limit = 10485760 mydomain = example.com mydomain_fallback = localhost mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8,192.168.61.0/24 newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases queue_directory = /private/var/spool/postfix readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix recipient_delimiter = + relayhost = sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix/examples sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail setgid_group = _postdrop smtpd_client_restrictions = permit_mynetworks permit_sasl_authenticated reject smtpd_enforce_tls = no smtpd_helo_required = yes smtpd_helo_restrictions = reject_invalid_helo_hostname reject_non_fqdn_helo_hostname smtpd_pw_server_security_options = plain, login cram-md5 smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated permit_mynetworks reject_unauth_destination check_policy_service unix:private/policy reject smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot smtpd_tls_CAfile = /etc/certificates/osx-106.example.com.E2FA6EFB8203E2E09C605D30A179669E4B4F69EB.chain.pem smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/certificates/osx-106.example.com.E2FA6EFB8203E2E09C605D30A179669E4B4F69EB.cert.pem smtpd_tls_exclude_ciphers = SSLv2, aNULL, ADH, eNULL smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/certificates/osx-106.example.com.E2FA6EFB8203E2E09C605D30A179669E4B4F69EB.key.pem smtpd_use_pw_server = yes smtpd_use_tls = yes unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550 virtual_alias_maps = virtual_gid_maps = static:5000 virtual_mailbox_base = /etc/postfix/datastore virtual_mailbox_domains = osx.example.com virtual_mailbox_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/datausers virtual_minimum_uid = 100 virtual_uid_maps = static:5000 # dovecotd -n # 1.1.17apple0.5: /private/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf Warning: fd limit 256 is lower than what Dovecot can use under full load (more than 456).

[Dovecot] Cannot read mdir inbox.
by Marc Dufour 10 Dec '09

10 Dec '09

Problem: Dovecot is totally and merrily oblivious to maildir INBOX installed in the usual /var/spool/mail/%u Software/system: Dovecot 1.2.8 running under Fedora 12 with 1.9 gig RAM + AMD Athlon LE-1640 CPU on a ASUS M3A78-EM motherboard (uname -a = Linux 2.6.31.6-162.fc12.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Dec 4 00:06:26 EST 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux ) Dovecot has been installed from the Fedora repositories, not recompiled from scratch. System has only one hard disk and is on one ext4 LVM partition. My configurations are http://emdx.org/Dovecot/dovecot.confA.txt for "dovecot -a" http://emdx.org/Dovecot/dovecot.confN.txt for "dovecot -n" The mail is properly delivered by Exim in the proper place. Using a client (Thunderbird 3), if I copy some messages in the INBOX, they stay there, but they are nowhere to be found in the /var/spool/mail/%u directory. User mail is in ~/Maildir. I tried to make a symlink pointing to /var/spool/mail/%u and, of course, it does not work. I also tried giving chmod 666 to all files in /var/spool/mail/%u (and chmod 777 for the directories), this makes no difference. Otherwise, Dovecot works flawlessly and without no problems whatsoever in ~/Maildir. I can transfer huge volumes of email from the future old server and everything is rock solid. I just can’t get the INBOX. I would rather not fiddle with Exim and have it deliver the mail into ~/Maildir Google has been stellarly inefficient in helping me find solutions.

[Dovecot] Virtual mailboxes not always up to date?
by Patrick Nagel 10 Dec '09

10 Dec '09

Hi, I have been experimenting with the Virtual mailboxes plugin [1] recently. This is my setup: the following dovecot-virtual file exists in a virtual mailbox called "todo": ------ dovecot-virtual ------ * -Trash -Trash/* -Spam -Spam/* OR KEYWORD $TODO KEYWORD todo ----------------------------- so if any mail in any mailbox except Trash+Spam has the keyword "$TODO" (that's what KMail sets when you mark a message as "action item") or "todo" (that's what Thunderbird sets when you put the Todo tag on a message), it should be shown in that 'todo' virtual mailbox. This works for the first time after I edit the dovecot-virtual file and then access the virtual mailbox (all mails I expect to be shown in the todo mailbox are there) - but further accesses always show the same content, even though I removed the keyword from one of the mails (and I can confirm that the keyword has actually been removed by dovecot, since the filename doesn't contain the letter corresponding to the keyword anymore). It seems that changing the dovecot-virtual file triggers the execution of the "search program" - but shouldn't simply accessing the virtual mailbox also trigger it? Or is there a (undocumented?) timeout between search program executions? Patrick.

[Dovecot] Patch: event port-based ioloop and notify
by Emanuele Pucciarelli 10 Dec '09

10 Dec '09

Greetings, thanks to all of you who work on Dovecot! I have prepared a small patch to support Solaris 10 and Opensolaris' event port mechanism for both the ioloop and the notify subsystems. It seems to work fine for me, but I haven't conducted any extensive testing. It would be great if someone could review and/or test it (and if it could eventually enter the code base). I have uploaded a copy at http://cr.opensolaris.org/~e.p/dovecot/dovecot-01-fen.diff . Thanks! -- Emanuele

[Dovecot] Mail.app + dovecot 1.2 + POP3
by Rodolfo Gonzalez Gonzalez 10 Dec '09

10 Dec '09

Hello all, I have an user with MacOS X 10.5 Mail.app 3.5, which is connecting using POP3 to a dovecot 1.2 server. He has a 512 kbps link, which he saturates downloading large files. While the bandwidth is saturated, Mail.app shows the POP3 account as "offline" (I haven't used that client, but it seems that it doesn't retry the connection if it fails at some moment). He argues that he has some other POP3 and IMAP4 accounts configured in the same app, and those accounts never go "offline" even if the bw usage is at 100% (those other accounts are not on my servers and I don't know which sw are they using). My question is, could dovecot be somehow involved in this "offline" issue? (something like the past IDLE issues with Outlook 2007?) Thanks in advanced.

Re: [Dovecot] After upgrading to 1.2 - absolute path questions
by Richard Stockton 09 Dec '09

09 Dec '09

Hi Timo, Okay, I'm confused now... Here is what we are using with 1.1.19: password_query = SELECT password, home as userdb_home, 5000 as userdb_uid, 5000 as userdb_gid FROM mailbox where userid = '%n' mail_location = maildir:/mail/%h:INDEX=MEMORY The "/mail/" dir contains 26 NFS mounted partitions. Will this still work in 1.2? I have been holding off upgrading because it sounded like I would have to add the "/mail/" prefix to all the "home" directories in my user DB, and with 5 instances of Dovecot running off the same DB, I would have to shut down the pop/imap servers for the upgrade, something that would NOT make my boss happy. However, if I can leave the configs and the database as they are, the update will not be a big problem. Please let me know if I can use the old configs with Dovecot 1.2.x, I would love to be using the latest and greatest. And BTW, thanks again for all your hard work, Dovecot is a wonderful piece of software, and we really appreciate it! - Richard

[Dovecot] v2.0.alpha3 released
by Timo Sirainen 09 Dec '09

09 Dec '09

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/alpha/dovecot-2.0.alpha3.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/alpha/dovecot-2.0.alpha3.tar.gz.sig Nothing horribly exciting since alpha2, but since I did other releases I thought I might as well release this one too. - Most of the stuff in master.conf is now built into binaries so the file itself is small. dovecot -n also doesn't show the defaults anymore. - Settings now have size and time types. So instead of always wondering if the units are bytes or kilobytes or megabytes, you can just use e.g. 100k, 100M values. And the same for 100 secs, 100 mins, 100 hours, etc. - verbose_proctitle=yes was pretty useless in alpha2 after the pre/post-login changes. I've now enabled Linux proctitle hack that allows changing process title (in ps). It now shows e.g. the current command being executed by imap process. There is also some hope of getting a proper setproctitle() function to Linux, the patch just got to -mm code tree today! - anvil process now stays alive across SIGHUPs. So "doveadm who" no longer forgets users after SIGHUP. - remote_ip IP {} and local_ip IP {} changed to remote host|IP {} and local host|IP {}, i.e. if it's not an IP Dovecot does host name lookup. - Using host names is also important to get TLS SNI working. With TLS SNI support if client supports it, you can serve multiple certificates with a single IP address. - LMTP server adds now Received: header - Fixes to LMTP server - Fixes to dsync Some of the larger changes left: - plugin API probably needs to be changed, so that it's possible to handle multiple users by same process but with different plugins - config process is too slow - rawlog no longer works because of how pre/post-login works now. it probably needs to be changed into a service and configured something like: service imap-rawlog { executable = rawlog imap-real /home/%u unix_listener imap { } } service imap { unix_listener imap-real { } } The point would be that when imap-login connects to imap, it actually connects to rawlog which then connects to imap-real and starts proxying the connection. A few problems: 1) userdb lookup is done by imap process, so rawlog doesn't know user's home directory. Perhaps more code could be added so that rawlog requests imap process to send it back, but maybe that's too much trouble. That's why I thought just adding a 3rd /home/%u parameter, where rawlog expands %u to username since that's at least known. 2) Currently it's not possible to remove default internal unix_listeners, so the above config wouldn't actually work anyway. I guess there needs to be some new syntax like "!unix_listener imap" or something that removes it.. Then again, a nice thing about this is that the rawlog will work with all types of services, even imap-logins, although that's going to be almost useless for SSL connections.

[Dovecot] How do i translate the old default_mail_env setting?
by Gary Kline 09 Dec '09

09 Dec '09

Hi, First, I am new to dovecot. Before my Jan '08 meltdown, sendmail was sufficient. A friend set up dovecot and since things just-worked, I was happy with that. Now I have a new mailserver and what was installed nearly two years ago fails. My pal installed things in dovecot.conf this way: default_mail_env = maildir:~/Maildir but the new mail environment is too different to be readily understood. --At least for me!-- The "%u" variable is confusing; so in the "%h" ($HOME [?]) variable... Would the following edit work on my old conf file: mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir ? tia, gary kline -- Gary Kline kline(a)thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix http://jottings.thought.org http://transfinite.thought.org The 7.31a release of Jottings: http://jottings.thought.org/index.php

I debugged and realized that patched plugin generates - for search "xxx yyy": q=body:"XXX YYY*" It should be: q=body:XXX* +body:YYY* (not q=body:"XXX*" +body:"YYY*" - quotation does matter) But this does not work as expected. Prefix searches (with asterisk) are case-sensitive. I googled around and found this post - http://michaelkimsal.com/blog/solr-case-sensitivty/comment-page-1/#comment-… . It is old - 2007, but it looks SOLR is still case-sensitive for *. Because of dovecot capitalizes query (and this is right, I think), the search will never find a thing. I played with Solr admin for 3 evenings and I have to say - its behaviour is strange. For example, if I send several emails with body of 2 words: "xxx yyy", "yyy xxx", "xxX yYY" etc. - different case and different word order - it does not find "xxx" in all emails. Maybe Solr 1.4 is not production-ready yet and 1.3 is better. But it is enough for me, maybe I will return to it in next year. Now I will try to apply your changeset (fts-squat: Fixed searching multi-byte characters) to dovecot 1.2.4 (debian stable). If you think 1.2.8 is better, I will follow your recommendation.

[Dovecot] LDA: handling non-existent mail dirs
by Edgar Fuß 09 Dec '09

09 Dec '09

We have users existing in LDAP but not supposed to receive mail. We used to handle that (somewhat ungracefully) by simply not creating the top mail directory for those accounts. Since switching to Dovecots LDA, these non-existing dirs are considered temporary failures and so the junk mails pile up in postfix' queue Would it be possible for deliver to optionally treat this as a permanent error? I know the clean solution woud be checking for an LDAP attribute in postfix before even accepting the mail.

[Dovecot] dovecot v 1.28 and virtual folders
by Jim Richard 09 Dec '09

09 Dec '09

I haven't been able to make this work. I've experimented with different settings in my dovecot.conf for hours. I have a simple single user ubuntu setup, nothing fancy and would just like to have a virtual "unread" folder of my main INBOX, for use with Squirrelmail So, with just this, all good... subfolders look like .INBOX.duplicates for example in the file system namespace private { separator = . location = maildir:~/Maildir inbox = yes } now, when I try to add a virtual namespace namespace private { subscriptions = yes list = yes inbox = no prefix = virtual. separator = . location = virtual:~/Maildir/virtual } ~/Maildir/virtual does exist in the filesystem, I can "subscribe" to virtual but if I try to create a sub folder of it I get ERROR: Could not complete request. Query: CREATE "virtual.test" Reason Given: [CANNOT] Can't create virtual mailboxes Squirrelmail is great because it has some nice IMAP testing tools, so for example, with my current dovecot config I can test the NAMESPACE command, is that the correct response? Request: A003 NAMESPACE Response: * NAMESPACE (("" ".")("virtual." ".")) NIL NIL Namespace completed. I'm sure the issue is a fundamental lack of understanding of a concept here ... Any help would be appreciated. thank you, -Jim

[Dovecot] mailboxcasecmp()
by Frank Cusack 09 Dec '09

09 Dec '09

I remember way back, i'd modified the dspam training plugin to compare mailbox names case-insensitively. that patch wasn't accepted. i didn't understand why since it was obviously correct and had no negative impact, at least i didn't think so. Now I've hit another case where case-insensitive mailbox names would be useful: +addressing. If I have a mailbox 'Ext' and I send mail to frank+Ext@, the LHS is lowercased to 'frank+ext' and the +extension delivery doesn't find the 'Ext' mailbox. If the +extension is going to be lowercased, then the mailbox names should be lowercased when looking for them. Or, since 'ext' and 'Ext' can co-exist, the +extension shouldn't be lowercased when looking for the mailbox. I prefer the former (lowercase everything), since it's unlikely a user would create both 'mailbox' and 'Mailbox', however I can envision plenty of times where users would try to use '+ext' yet create the '+Ext" mailbox and never be able to figure out why it doesn't work. I know the latter solution (case sensitive extensions and case sensitive mailboxes) is more correct but really it will be harder to debug user problems. -frank

[Dovecot] different views of a imap account
by Ajaxster 09 Dec '09

09 Dec '09

Hi, I've looked around a few times to see if I could figure the answer to this question but I think I may not know the right question to ask... The scenario I have is that I'm running dovecot, exim and procmail on one server (using maildir storage) and also have apache on another server. I can run squirrel mail, roundcube, etc. all on the web server and access all my email just fine. I can run outlook or thunderbird or other imap clients just fine too. I have some smart phones that support imap mail servers, but when I set them up to connect to my server, the client seems to have to sync up data on all the mailboxes (lots of headers to download). All I really want on my remote (phone based) imap clients is to view my inbox. I believe that the subscriptions are done globally in that every client sees the same subscriptions, so that doesn't seem like the way to narrow down what my phone imap clients see. Does what I'd like to do make sense? Is there a way to configure dovecot to support this? Could I just run two servers on the same machine at different ports to support this? I'd love to hear about how others have approached this or similar problems. I've seen a lite email client that can be run on an apache server that wap browsers can access to view mail. That works okay, but with phones having built in imap clients, that seems like a more streamlined way to go ;-) Thanks for you thoughts! -- Jay

[Dovecot] rquota in dovecot-1.2.8-0_103.el5.x86_64.rpm
by David Warden 09 Dec '09

09 Dec '09

Is rquota purposefully not present in the RPM at http://atrpms.net/dist/el5/dovecot/dovecot-1.2.8-0_103.el5.x86_64.rpm.html ? On a test machine I decided to give dovecot 1.2 a go with that RPM and everything went great except I was getting the following error in the dovecot log (and quota was not working): Dec 9 10:50:43 webmailtest2 dovecot: IMAP(auser) rip=127.0.0.1: quotactl(Q_GETQUOTA, nfsserver.geneseo.edu:/vol/email/users) failed: No such file or directory I had seen some messages on the mailing list talking about making sure you build with HAVE_RQUOTA defined at compile time. I wasn't able to determine if the RPM on the aforementioned page was simply missing the rquota code, but upon building the SRPM from the same place (http://atrpms.net/dist/el5/dovecot/, SRPM itself is http://dl.atrpms.net/all/dovecot-1.2.8-0_103.src.rpm) I saw HAVE_RQUOTA fly by and the rquota source files get built and linked, and when using those binaries rquota started working. I scanned the changelog for the binary RPM for something indicating that rquota support had been taken out but didn't see anything. Apologies if this is better sent to the package maintainer; I'm hoping he checks this list or someone has already run into this and can set me (and anyone else who may run in to this problem) straight. -David Warden

[Dovecot] Different Formats Per User?

For migration possibilities, we're considering whether it's possible to have Dovecot run some users using standard Maildir format, while other users would be using filesystem (LAYOUT=fs) format? We could determine which one's users have, but is there a way to tell Dovecot this information, and is it even part of the Dovecot design to deal with this scenario? Thanks, Tony

[Dovecot] permission issue when moving / copying a message
by Jean-Christophe Baptiste 08 Dec '09

08 Dec '09

Hi all, I am having an issue with permission that may be a bug. The issue happens when moving / copying a message from a folder to another : sometimes the message gets the wrong permission (umask). The typical use case is, inside a maildir box and within imap, moving a spam message to the spam folder. Then a cron script is supposed to access to it to feed the antispam database. I wish the message file to be created with umask 0002 but sometimes it creates it with 0022. There is an example in my maildir : # ls -la /home/vmail/domain.com/contact/.spam/cur total 84 drwxrwx--- 2 vmail vmail 4096 déc. 7 23:19 . drwxrwx--- 5 vmail vmail 4096 déc. 7 23:19 .. -rw------- 2 vmail vmail 1303 déc. 7 14:37 1260211373.M462708P12977.genki:2,S -rw-rw---- 2 vmail vmail 73090 juin 8 14:57 1260224357.M884229P14370.genki:2,S As you can see, one file is OK and the other one not. Parents directories have the correct permissions, which should be pushed to the children (according to the doc). With my current configuration, it is something I can reproduce it often but I could not find what exactly triggers it. Thank you in advance for looking at this case and for your help, Regards, -- Jean-Christophe Baptiste <jc(a)phocean.net>

[Dovecot] Mbox corruption
by Erinn Looney-Triggs 07 Dec '09

07 Dec '09

I am trying to track down an mbox corruption issue that has been happening for one of our users. It appears that the mbox file is getting truncated and the all important From line no longer exists which then leads to the mbox being useless. It also appears, as in most truncations, that parts of the mbox are being lost. I am not sure how to debug this to find out whether this is a client or server issue and any pointers would be appreciated. Here are the facts as I have them: Server: RHEL5 x64/ Dovecot 1.2.8 Client: Win/ Thunderbird 2.0.0.23 This appears to only be happening for one user out of several hundred across 30 or so Dovecot servers, so I am leaning towards this being a client issue, but I don't know a great deal about the low level working of IMAP to debug. For example, I assume that the client issues a request to the server on the order of delete message 34 and the server then overwrites the mbox file (this then would point to it being a server issue)? The corruption occurs in a random assortment of this users files, so sometimes the inbox, others the Trash or one of many other folders this user has. The user also reports that before the corruption occurs duplicates of e-mail will start to appear in folders, even folders that have been unused for a long period of time. Oh I suppose I should also mention that this is about the third or fourth time this has happened to this user and it seems to happen about every 2-3 weeks. Does any of this sound familiar to anyone? Any suggestions as to how to root this out? Thanks, -Erinn

They are all running version 1.2.8 and are all configured identically minus compile differences for RHEL4 or 5 and x86 vs. x86_64. So the user is always accessing the same server. It is extremely odd that this issue is happening only to this one user on this one system which still make me lean toward it being a client issue but I am unsure of how to determine that. -Erinn

Hi, This topic has been discussed before e.g: <QUOTE> On 2008-08-07, at 1143, Kacper Wysocki wrote: The problem is that the configuration file specifies only one certificate file for dovecot, which means only one Common Name, which means one cannot provide one server cert that will match mail.foo.com AND mail.bar.com, and either ma...(a)foo.com or bo...(a)bar.com will get a "Security Error: Domain Name Mismatch" in their mail client when connecting through IMAPS. </QUOTE> I bring it up again because I've just been trying the release candidate for Thunderbird 3. This has a config wizard which derives from ones email address the mail server address etc. It doesn't handle SSL virtual mail servers very well because of this problem. I have encountered a web server called Cherokee (http://www.cherokee-project.com) which has virtual server capability that *demands* a different certificate for each virtual server. How can that be I thought? This is what Cherokee documentation says: <QUOTE> SSL Virtual Hosts You might have been told elsewhere that named virtual hosts in SSL cannot be supported without SNI (Server Name Indication) because a web server cannot see the hostname header when the SSL request is being processed. Technically this might have been correct in the past. The first thing that the server has to do is to connect with the other end by using SSL/TLS. The user entered host part of the URI must match the Common Name (CN) provided by the certificate. Since virtual hosts are in use, the CN of the first available certificate may or may not match the one specified in the early stages of TLS negotiation. Cherokee supports the clean and standard method of dealing with this issue called Server Name Indication (SNI) that sends the name of the virtual host during the TLS negotiation. If SNI is supported by your SSL/TLS library, the SSL layer does not need to be restarted. Since the host info can be put in the SSL handshake, things will simply work as long as there is a web browser with SNI support at the other side. Currently every modern web browser supports this, and Cherokee has TLS SNI support for the OpenSSL backends. Note that for SNI to work, client support is required. Web browsers known to support it are Mozilla Firefox 2.0+, Opera 8.0+, Internet Explorer 7 (Vista, not XP) or later and Google Chrome. </QUOTE> If Cherokee can do it why not dovecot? Is this something that is, or could be, being considered? It does assume that TB3 and other mail clients support SNI but whatever, I suspect that once TB3 is released the subject will pop-up more frequently. I'm curious to know the latest thinking. Dick

[Dovecot] Manual files moving and index files
by Kārlis Repsons 04 Dec '09

04 Dec '09

Hello all! My first question about dovecot turns out to be: what if I have something outside of dovecot, which sometimes moves messages out of a mail folder and other times into it? Does that make any problem for dovecot or indexing?

[Dovecot] dovecot-shared Problem
by Darius Bohni 03 Dec '09

03 Dec '09

Hi, first, sorry for my english, i hope u understand me :-/ I try to set up dovecot with imap and maildir. I run into a permission problem. I need to have read and execute rights of all folders and mails for the group (needed by the backup deamon). first I tried with umask, but this only affect folders and no mails. Then I read about dovecot-shared and tried this. Permissions are now ok but and this is a big but., I have troubles with thunderbird. I copied a folder from an pop3 account to the imap account (Inbox->subfolder). Now all mails are unread. OK i mark all as read. Now I move a message to the inbox and back to the subfolder an wonder, the mail is now marked as unreaded again. When i set up the mailboxes without the dovecot-shared file, the behaviour above is gone!! But my permission problem is back :-( Permissions of dovecot-shared is 750 and the mainfolder is 750 with g+s can anybody help me? thank u alot grz. fr3ak4l

[Dovecot] Excluding ALT maildir from showing in main INBOX
by Tomasz Przewlucki 03 Dec '09

03 Dec '09

Hi, I've setup dovecot 1.2.7 with dbox mail storage and ALTernative (additional) mail directory + expire plugin and expire_altmove working properly. grep from .conf: ( dbox:/var/spool/mail/%n/MAIL:INDEX=/var/spool/mail/%n/INDEX:ALT=/var/spool/mailarchive/%n/MAIL ) What i would need now is excluding all folders and messages from "ALT" maildir from default view (so they will not show in INBOX and other standard folders. I would like to create namespace or virtual folder and include those ALT maildirs as so called Archive (f.e. prefix). Is that (excluding ALT from default view) possible ? Best Regards, Tomasz Przewlucki

[Dovecot] Light "bug" in authtest, sockets path
by Andre 03 Dec '09

03 Dec '09

Hi to all! I’ve changed position to client auth socket to enable postfix authentication. The socket is now created in /var/spool/postfix/private/auth. authtest do not catch up the change. Reading source I’ve seen that path to auth sockets is written explicitly in function authtest_passdb in util/authtest.c to: if (auth_socket_path == NULL) auth_socket_path = PKG_RUNDIR"/auth-client”; I know I can launch authtest specifing path to socket, but I think it would be better if authtest would parse dovecot.conf and find out where sockets are. I’ve tried to code it by myself, but I’ve had no time to go deep in the code. Is it possible to have this “feature” added??? TIA Andrea

[Dovecot] busy / developers documentation
by Timo Sirainen 03 Dec '09

03 Dec '09

Just thought I'd mention that I probably won't be answering mails very actively this week while I'm in San Antonio (and I was kind of busy last week too). Hopefully I'll get back to answering/bugfixing next week.. I also started writing developers documentation to http://wiki.dovecot.org/Design. Comments welcome. Some things I had planned next: - istream internals - lib-storage API docs - ..?

[Dovecot] Vacation message with Sieve
by Rene Bakkum 02 Dec '09

02 Dec '09

Hello all, I am trying to get my vacation messages to work correctly. In general it works like how I want, and replies when a message is arived to for example info(a)domain.com, but I have some problems to get my vacation message to work on catch-all boxes. Is there an option to for example auto-reply on every mail that is sendto @domain.com? I am using Ubuntu 9.10 default packages, which are the following versions: dovecot -n # 1.1.11: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.31-14-server x86_64 Ubuntu 9.10 ext4 mail_plugins = cmusieve My example file of the vacation message I use is: require ["vacation"]; vacation # Reply at most once a day to a same sender :days [vacationmessage_delay_days] :subject "Autorespond: [vacationmessage_subject]" # List of recipient addresses which are included in the auto replying. # If a mail's recipient is not on this list, no vacation reply is sent for it. :addresses ["[username]@[domain]"] "[vacationmessage_message]"; I tried changing [username]@[domain] into @[domain] or *@[domain], but that is giving me errors. Anyone has any pointers how to achieve this (if its possible at all)... Regards, Rene

[Dovecot] Can't start dovecot from heartbeat
by John Gray 01 Dec '09

01 Dec '09

I get the following error: Fatal: epoll_create(): Too many open files (you may need to increase /proc/sys/fs/epoll/max_user_instances) Works fine if I start it by hand, I'm guessing it has to due with the environment heart starts it in? My first thought was to do exactly what the message suggests, but my kernel doesn't appear to define max_user_instances, but there is a max_user_watches. I'm running 1.2.8, by the way. But I had a similar problem with earlier version too. John

Hi everybody, I have a problem after configuring dovecot to work with mysql (Debian Etch System). When i send an email from outside, i have an undelivred mail returned to sender saying : Relay access denied (in reply to RCPT TO command) In my dovecot log file i have these errors : --------------------- Nov 28 20:08:27 myhost postfix/smtpd[5087]: connect from smtp5-g21.toto.com [1.2.3.4] Nov 28 20:08:27 myhost postfix/smtpd[5087]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from smtp5-g21.toto.com [1.2.3.4]: 554 5.7.1 <mymail(a)test.com>: Relay access denied; from=<outside-mail(a)toto.com> to=<mymail(a)test.com> proto=ESMTP helo=<smtp5-g21.toto.com> Nov 28 20:08:28 myhost postfix/smtpd[5087]: disconnect from smtp5-g21.toto.com [1.2.3.4] ---------------------- What do you think is the problem ?

[Dovecot] Postfix issue but I want to fix it here...
by david＠davidwbrown.name 01 Dec '09

01 Dec '09

Hello, Dovecot bunch and Timo. I am using Sylpheed as my Dovecot/IMAP client. At home behind my LAN Sylpheed can send email because the Postfix SMTPd views my LAN as a trusted network. No such luck when I'm away from home. I know it has something to do with configuring the relay access elements but what I have tried so far does not work. I'm sure someone has had this simple issue previously. The error condition and other particulars follow: OS: CentOS, Windows XP SMTPd: Postfix 2.3.3 IMAP: Dovecot 1.2 Mail client: Sylpheed 2.7.1 Error condition: Error occurred while sending the message: 554 5.7.1 <messages-noreply(a)linkedin.com>: Relay access denied

[Dovecot] Dovecot SSL limitations
by Thomas Hummel 01 Dec '09

01 Dec '09

Hello Timo, I'd like to check if my understanding of dovecot-1.2.x's SSL certificate handling is correct : SSL does not provide the server any mechanism to choose which certificate it must send relatively to the name the client is using. Thus, if you want to use different certificates, you have to listen to different addresses. This is an SSL limitation, not a dovecot nor IMAP limitation. This is the reason why it's possible to use different certificates for IMAP and POP3. But it seems to work only with those two : As a matter of fact, even if you listen to different addresses, how would you tell dovecot to send this certificate for this address and that certificate for that address, since there is no IP dependent section (as in apache IP-based virtual host for instance) ? It seems the only way would be to have more than one instance of dovecot (several dovecot with different config files). The problem is that some clients may be configured with mail.my.domain, some others with imap.my.domain, ...etc... Hence the need to have different certificates with those different names as cn. -- Thomas Hummel | Institut Pasteur <hummel(a)pasteur.fr> | Pôle informatique - systèmes et réseau

Re: [Dovecot] Dovecot 1.2.x masteruser proxy problem
by Tom Mihalicek 30 Nov '09

30 Nov '09

The problem was in auth_bind=yes in dovecot-ldap.conf i didnt read thoroughly the http://wiki.dovecot.org/Authentication/MasterUsers?action=show&redirect=Mas… You should also add the pass=yes setting to the master passdb if possible. It means that Dovecot verifies that the login user really exists before allowing the master user to log in. Without the setting if a non-existing login username is given, depending on the configuration, it could either return an internal login error (the userdb lookup failed) or create a whole new user (with eg. static userdb). pass=yes doesn't work with PAM or LDAP with auth_bind=yes, because both of them require knowing the user's password.
