[Dovecot] All mail in mbox disappears when using Outlook
by Frank Leonhardt 08 Aug '09

08 Aug '09

I thought I was imaging it but... I have a friend (honestly) that likes to clear his inbox every month by copying older into a folder (e.g. June-2009). Every month he complains that all the mail in the new folder has disappeared. This has happened three times now, and he's sort-of-right. I now believe it's a bug rather than him. The setup is Dovecot 1.1.3 on FreeBSD 7.0 and the client is Outlook 2003 SP3 (using IMAP). What you end up with is a folder called June-2009 with no messages visible. Outlook reckons it's completely empty - size 0. I don't know how he gets to this point, but it can't be anything that bizarre - just copying messages. It's happened three months in a row. However, he can't see the contents and I can't see the contents using Outlook. Strangely, Eudora and Squirrel have no problem. Corrupt mbox file? Probably not. If you copy the problem one, the copy works fine. The really weird thing is that if you rename the problem file (using mv) it STILL DOESN'T work. I've considered the possibility that it's got a bad lock on it, but if so, how come Squirrel and Eudora have no problem? I've searched as far as I can for any known problems using Outlook. What next? Thanks, Frank. ====================================================== # 1.1.3: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf log_path: /var/log/dovecot protocols: imap imaps pop3 pop3s ssl_cert_file: /etc/mail/certs/dovecot-cert.pem ssl_key_file: /etc/mail/certs/dovecot-private.pem disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login login_greeting_capability(default): yes login_greeting_capability(imap): yes login_greeting_capability(pop3): no verbose_proctitle: yes first_valid_uid: 1000 first_valid_gid: 1000 mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: mbox:~/mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u maildir_copy_preserve_filename: yes mail_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_process_size: 512 mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3 imap_client_workarounds(default): delay-newmail netscape-eoh tb-extra-mailbox-sep imap_client_workarounds(imap): delay-newmail netscape-eoh tb-extra-mailbox-sep imap_client_workarounds(pop3): pop3_enable_last(default): no pop3_enable_last(imap): no pop3_enable_last(pop3): yes pop3_client_workarounds(default): pop3_client_workarounds(imap): pop3_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh auth default: mechanisms: plain login username_format: %Ln process_size: 512 passdb: driver: pam args: session=yes dovecot userdb: driver: passwd args: blocking=yes socket: type: listen client: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-client mode: 432 master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384

Hi Timo, the preconditions was: a dbox converted (convert-tool) from Maildir contents of dbox/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails was: - dovecot.index.log [64876 bytes] - dovecot-uidlist [167280 bytes] - 3237 mails I've started mutt to see the mails. Mutt lost the connection immediately. The log shows nothing strange except for: dovecot: Error: child 12136 (imap) killed with signal 11 (core dumped) Each time i try to connect to dovecot imap crashes. The first backtrace is attached.

[Dovecot] hoping someone has a suggestion
by P.A 07 Aug '09

07 Aug '09

Hi using dovecot 1.0.10 with pop/imap, using maildir, with 2000+ users mostly using pop but many using imap. Once in a great while I have problems with dovecot pop timing out. If I telnet to port 110 it just takes forever to come up or it doesn't at all, the samething happens on the imap port although 110 is always worst. At 1st when troubleshooting I was not sure what was causing the situation and when I ran out of options I stopped postfix. When I did this dovecot immediately started working again, that is port 110/143 came up fast and all the user logins were fast again. When I restarted postfix after a minute or so dovecot became slow again. While observing this situation I notice that postfix had most of the connections about 300+ in established state, while dovecot was using around 150 connections. After adjusting some of the parameters on postfix and shutting it down multiple times, suddenly everything worked but this time postfix was reporting over 3000 connections mostly in TIME_WAIT state which is normal for us. My question is what do you guys think is happening here, what is the relationship between dovecot/postfix that would cause this to happen. I'm just looking for some suggestions in case this happens again. # 1.0.10: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf protocols: imap pop3 ssl_disable: yes disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login login_greeting: D-V1 NP09 ready. login_process_size: 384 login_processes_count: 55 login_max_processes_count: 450 mail_location: maildir:/home/%1u/%u/Maildir maildir_copy_with_hardlinks: yes maildir_copy_preserve_filename: yes mail_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3 pop3_uidl_format(default): pop3_uidl_format(imap): pop3_uidl_format(pop3): %08Xu%08Xv pop3_client_workarounds(default): pop3_client_workarounds(imap): pop3_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh auth default: count: 4 passdb: driver: shadow userdb: driver: passwd

[Dovecot] Bug - dovecot-auth hangs in ldap query. 1.1.16 (also in 1.2.2)
by Marek Miska 07 Aug '09

07 Aug '09

dovecot-auth hangs when many (>128) LDAP queries are submited simultaneously. (for example via pop3 benchmarking tool). Bug is in src/auth/db-ldap.c:db_ldap_request_queue_next if (queue_size > DB_LDAP_MAX_PENDING_REQUESTS) { /* wait until server has replied to some requests */ return FALSE; } (queue_size is total queue size, not only queries sent to LDAP server.) I think this condition should be: if (conn->pending_count >= DB_LDAP_MAX_PENDING_REQUESTS) {

[Dovecot] Trying to get dovecot and squirrelmail talking
by Neil Bird 07 Aug '09

07 Aug '09

I have been using dovecot+squirrelmail with no problems on my Fedora box (currently at F10). I've been using a simple mail location string along the lines of 'mbox:~/usr/mail/%u:INBOX=mbox:/var/spool/mail/%u' (sorry, that's off the top of my head, I can't get into my box from here at the moment). Essentially: standard mbox inbox in /var/spool/mail/[user], plus mbox files under ~/usr/mail. These latter are for remote access to archived Thunderbird files, which are [currently] mbox format. This works fine. However, I've had some slight issues elsewhere which I feel would be eased or solved by making my INBOX use maildir format, and keeping mails I want to remote-access more often in the top level maildir there (instead of always having to dip into the TB mboxes). To that end, I tried setting up: # want to be able to add sibling and child folders here namespace private { separator = / prefix = location = /var/spool/mail/%u inbox = yes hidden = no list = yes } # And the legacy mbox files go here under 'local' namespace private { separator = / prefix = local/ location = mbox:~/usr/mail hidden = no list = yes } (with appropriate an procmail change for maildir delivery) Now, this pretty much worked the way I wanted. However, afterwards, trying to connect from squirrelmail I had it say that there were no [IMAP] folders to subscribe to, including the INBOX. I couldn't se any errors, either in /var/log/maillog or http's logs. Have I got something wrong? Am I trying to do something that's doomed to failure? -- [neil@fnx ~]# rm -f .signature [neil@fnx ~]# ls -l .signature ls: .signature: No such file or directory [neil@fnx ~]# exit

[Dovecot] Dovecot deliver uidlist issues
by Mark Zealey 07 Aug '09

07 Aug '09

Hi all, Lets say I have a maildir which doesn't contain any dovecot files but has some emails lying around in it. If I add a message to this mailbox using deliver, dovecot creates the uidlist file with a single entry (the message that was just delivered). When I then log in to the mailbox, all the other messages are added into the uidlist file in the normal order (directory list order I believe). Then, the mailbox is in a situation where anything that was delivered into the mailbox before the user logs in is at the very top of a uidlist. Unfortunately many webmail clients seem to order the mailbox by reverse uidl, so we get the situation where people log into webmail (we use @mail) after their mailboxes have been migrated to dovecot and any messages delivered between the time of migration and the time of login are put to the very end of the list. This could presumably be fixed by ordering the mailbox according to date but certainly @mail doesn't really do this very well. I've only tested this on v1.1 (1.1.17 from atrpms), but I didn't see anything in the changelog to indicate that this deliver behaviour has changed in v1.2. Perhaps there should be a deliver option to recreate the uidlist file by doing a full scan if it doesn't exist (as a login via pop/imap would do), although I'm not sure why this shouldn't be the default? (apart from deliever potentially causing a high amount of io). My current work-around is to use postlogin to remove the uidlist file when someone logs in to the mailbox for the first time which then forces it to be created in the correct order; but this is a very messy solution.

[Dovecot] connect to IMAP
by jolan D 07 Aug '09

07 Aug '09

hi, I am trying to get a webbased IMAP mail module to work. http://nocc.sourceforge.net/ But it seems it doesn't connect to it. When i try to login it says: "login is not allowed for connection" i guess it has to do with the settings of the conf file. I have dovecot installed on Centos and installed it with yum. All (basic)settings are usually set correctly during install. After trying hard still no login. So i am hoping you guys can help me out.

[Dovecot] sieve rules processing
by Nikita Koshikov 06 Aug '09

06 Aug '09

Hello list, My question: is sieve support some kind of "continue" action, to explicit tell server processing rules below current one(if current has triged)? Situation: I have few rules, which fileinto's to different directories. All is working fine, but if I want redirect all my mail for some period of time to another mailbox, I'm adding rule like this, to be processing first. if anyof (true) { redirect "koshikov(a)gmail.com"; keep; } Mail redirecting, but keep state store messages to INBOX. All I want - to process other rules, which will move message to the right imap directory. This situation also happens with vacation sieve-action. In sieve rfc I didn't find any workaround to that actions. Maybe someone know how to make sieve working in described way?

[Dovecot] deliver is curious
by Sven Strickroth 06 Aug '09

06 Aug '09

Hi, Im' using deliver with postfix (mailbox_command = /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -n -m "$EXTENSION"). In dovecot.conf I've set mail_location to maildir:/var/spool/imap/users/%u/Maildir It works, but not for ONE "special" email. If I send mail to e.g. th(a)trg-oha.de it gets correctly delivered (see noerror.txt), but I have one mail with an attachment (i cannot provide it because of privacy reasons) where i get the attached error. How comes that deliver doesn't use the mail_location but the real home-directory (from ldap, it doesn't exist on the mailserver) of that user in this case? -- Best regards, Sven mailto:sven@clamav.net ClamAV, a GPL anti-virus toolkit http://www.clamav.net Aug 3 00:57:40 mailsrv postfix/qmgr[15624]: 4C8582024C: from=<kt(a)gmx.de>, size=1436493, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Aug 3 00:57:40 mailsrv dovecot: deliver(th): Home dir not found: /home/daten/user/lehrer/th Aug 3 00:57:40 mailsrv dovecot: deliver(th): Namespace: type=private, prefix=, sep=., inbox=yes, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes Aug 3 00:57:40 mailsrv dovecot: deliver(th): maildir: data=/var/spool/imap/users/th/Maildir Aug 3 00:57:40 mailsrv dovecot: deliver(th): maildir++: root=/var/spool/imap/users/th/Maildir, index=, control=, inbox=/var/spool/imap/users/th/Maildir Aug 3 00:57:40 mailsrv dovecot: deliver(th): Namespace: type=shared, prefix=users.%n., sep=., inbox=no, hidden=no, list=(null), subscriptions=no Aug 3 00:57:40 mailsrv dovecot: deliver(th): shared: root=, index=, control=, inbox= Aug 3 00:57:40 mailsrv dovecot: deliver(th): Namespace: type=public, prefix=shared., sep=., inbox=no, hidden=no, list=(null), subscriptions=no Aug 3 00:57:40 mailsrv dovecot: deliver(th): maildir: data=/var/spool/imap/shared Aug 3 00:57:40 mailsrv dovecot: deliver(th): maildir++: root=/var/spool/imap/shared, index=, control=, inbox= Aug 3 00:57:40 mailsrv dovecot: deliver(th): Namespace : Using permissions from /var/spool/imap/users/th/Maildir: mode=0700 gid=-1 Aug 3 00:57:40 mailsrv dovecot: deliver(th): mkdir_parents_chown(/home/daten/user/lehrer/th) failed: Permission denied (euid=2684(th) egid=12(mail) missing +w perm: /home) Aug 3 00:57:40 mailsrv dovecot: deliver(th): copy: i_stream_read() failed: Permission denied Aug 3 00:57:40 mailsrv dovecot: deliver(th): msgid=<F915DEB780CD459A93FA6A3E9B4564BA@EeeTh>: save failed to INBOX: Internal error occurred.

[Dovecot] Deliver LDA versus vdelivermail
by Wouter van der Schagt 05 Aug '09

05 Aug '09

Good morning all, I have a question. Due to my interest in the Sieve plug-in. I'm considering to change the LDA on my production servers from 'vdelivermail' from vpopmail to 'deliver' from Dovecot. However I'm not sure how to go about doing this or whether there are any conversion issues that I should be aware of. Currently my /var/qmail/control/defaultdelivery is set to "./Maildir/". I am assuming I have to set that to: "|/var/qmail/bin/preline -f /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d $EXT@$USER" Does it also mean I have to recreate all .qmail and .qmail-default files? Am I missing anything else? Does anybody have any experience in changing LDA on production servers? Sincerely, - Wouter van der Schagt

[Dovecot] sieve not working with Postfix and maildir
by Florin Andrei 03 Aug '09

03 Aug '09

I am moving away from Cyrus, I'm trying to migrate to Dovecot. I am trying to get Sieve working with Dovecot and Postfix and it just won't work. Postfix is able to delived new messages to the "new" subfolder of the inbox structure. After I run Thunderbird, the new message gets moved to "cur" and it shows up in my inbox. So far so good. But now I'm trying to add Sieve. I turned on managesieve, installed Avelsieve in Squirrelmail, and did some tests. No matter what, the message stays in the inbox, it does not move to the designated folder: Postfix throws it in "new", it gets moved to "cur" after accessing my email with Thunderbird, and that's it.

Dovecot seems more reasonable, but I can't get Sieve to work. :-( -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/

03 Aug '09

http://dovecot.org/tmp/dovecot-1.2.3.rc.tar.gz I thought about doing v1.2.3 release immediately, but I think I'll wait about 10-24h first. So until then, testing this RC is appreciated and hopefully we'll have a good release this time. :) + Allow namespace prefix to be opened as mailbox, if a mailbox already exists in the root dir. - Maildir: dovecot-uidlist was being recreated every time a mailbox was accessed, even if nothing changed. - listescape plugin was somewhat broken - Compiling fixes for non-Linux/BSDs

[Dovecot] Performance problem with STATUS after upgrade (1.0.15 -> 1.2.2)
by Stefan Förster 03 Aug '09

03 Aug '09

Hello list, after upgrading dovecot from 1.0.15 to 1.2.2 (and carefully reading through the upgrading notes in the wiki), I got sieve, quota and fts up and running, but I'm now suffering some kind of performance problem with the STATUS command. Symptoms: Reading mail on the IMAP server itself with "mutt", no TLS/SSL, connected through loopback interface. Whenever I idle a bit and then hit any key thereafter, for example to change into another mailbox, mutt will send a number of "STATUS" commands: # T 127.0.0.1:53604 -> 127.0.0.1:143 [AP] DONE..a0070 STATUS "postfix-buch" (UIDNEXT UIDVALIDITY UNSEEN RECENT)..a0071 STATUS "postfix-users" (UIDNEXT UIDVALIDITY UNSEEN RECENT)..a0072 STATUS "Trash" (UIDNEXT UIDVALIDITY UNSEEN RECENT)..a0073 STATUS "Sent" (UIDNEXT UIDVALID ITY UNSEEN RECENT)..a0074 STATUS "mailman-users" (UIDNEXT UIDVALIDITY UNSEEN RECENT)..a0075 STATUS "mailman-developers" (UIDNEXT UIDVALIDITY UNSEEN RECENT)..a0076 STATUS "de-postfix-users" (UIDNEXT UIDVALIDITY UNSEEN RECENT)..a0077 STATUS "amavis-users" (UIDNEXT UIDVALIDITY UNSEEN RECENT)..a0078 STATUS "spam" (UIDNEXT UIDVALIDITY UNSEEN RECENT)..a0079 STATUS "localreports" (UIDNEXT UIDVALIDITY UNSEEN RECENT)..a0080 STATUS "Drafts" (UIDNEXT UIDVALIDITY UNSEEN R ECENT)..a0081 STATUS "exim-users" (UIDNEXT UIDVALIDITY UNSEEN RECENT).. # (The whole conversation is available as: http://www.incertum.net/~cite/dovecot-snoop.log) Those commands take almost one(!) second to complete. I've used strace to capture what happens and made the results available at http://www.incertum.net/~cite/imap.log. With 1.0.15, I never noticed this kind of delay, and reading mail feels really sluggish at the moment. Is there any way to improve performance? Configuration data: Filesystem mounted to /export/vmailboxes is an ext3: # tune2fs -l /dev/rootvg/mailhome_lv | grep "^Filesystem features" Filesystem features: has_journal resize_inode dir_index filetype needs_recovery sparse_super large_file (needs_recovery is set because the filesystem is mounted, I umounted it, did fsck -Dfy and it didn't display that "feature" when unmounted). dovecot -n (also available as: http://www.incertum.net/~cite/dovecot-n.log) # 1.2.2: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.26-2-amd64 x86_64 Debian 5.0.2 log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: imap imaps managesieve listen(default): *:143 listen(imap): *:143 listen(managesieve): * ssl_listen(default): *:993 ssl_listen(imap): *:993 ssl_listen(managesieve): ssl_cert_file: /etc/ssl/owncerts/mail_incertum_net.crt ssl_key_file: /etc/ssl/private/mail_incertum_net.key 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 verbose_proctitle: yes mail_privileged_group: vmail mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir mbox_write_locks: fcntl dotlock mail_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(managesieve): /usr/lib/dovecot/managesieve mail_process_size: 1024 mail_plugins(default): quota imap_quota fts fts_squat mail_plugins(imap): quota imap_quota fts fts_squat mail_plugins(managesieve): mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(managesieve): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/managesieve lda: postmaster_address: postmaster(a)incertum.net hostname: mail.incertum.net mail_plugins: quota sieve auth_socket_path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master auth default: mechanisms: plain login cram-md5 passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: sasl master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 user: vmail group: vmail plugin: quota: maildir:User quota quota_warning: storage=80%% /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh 80 quota_warning: storage=95%% /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh 95 sieve: ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_storage: ~/sieve sieve_extensions: +imapflags fts: squat fts_squat: partial=4 full=10 SQL-Configuration: # grep -v '^ *$#.*$\?$' dovecot-sql.conf driver = pgsql connect = hostaddr=333.33.33.3 port=5432 dbname=secret user=secret password=secret sslmode=require default_pass_scheme = PLAIN password_query = SELECT login AS user, password FROM virtual_user_maps WHERE login IN ('%u', '%n') user_query = SELECT vum.uid, vum.gid, ('*:storage=' || vum.quota_kbytes || 'k') AS quota_rule, ('/export/vmailboxes/' || SUBSTR(vum.login, 1, 1) || '/' || vum.login) AS home FROM virtual_mailbox_domains AS vmd LEFT JOIN virtual_mailbox_maps AS vmm ON (vmd.id = vmm.domain) LEFT JOIN virtual_user_maps AS vum ON (vmm.login = vum.id) WHERE ((vmm.localpart = '%n' AND vmd.name='%d') OR (vum.login = '%u')) AND vum.active Memory: # free -m total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 3952 3003 949 0 226 1036 -/+ buffers/cache: 1740 2211 Swap: 7812 5 7807 The version is Debian/unstable's 1.2.2, available at http://packages.debian.org/sid/dovecot-common, I've made a backport to Debian/stable.

[Dovecot] Subfolders not listed in Dovecot-1.2.2 with listescape
by Petter Urkedal 03 Aug '09

03 Aug '09

After upgrading to Dovecot-1.2.2 from 1.1* subfolders disappeared, though it was possible to access them directly, e.g. with "mutt -f =lists/dovecot". The problem only occurs if the listescape plugin is enabled. Some relevant bits from the configuration: namespace private { # The only namespace. separator = / prefix = inbox = yes } protocol imap { mail_plugins = fts fts_squat listescape }

[Dovecot] Best way to get login protocol (pop3/imap) in post-login script
by Zhang Huangbin 03 Aug '09

03 Aug '09

Hi, all. I found doc here: http://wiki.dovecot.org/PostLoginScripting and use ${USER}, ${IP} to track last-login username and remote ip address, but how can i track the mail protocol it used? like pop3, pop3s, imap, imaps? Currently, i wrote shell script as post-login script, and use below command to get protocol: ---- $(basename ${MAIL_PLUGIN_DIR}) ---- But is it the best way to get it? Thanks very much. :) -- Best Regards.

[Dovecot] How to delete retrieved mail
by Don Muller 03 Aug '09

03 Aug '09

Hi All, I use Dovecot and XMail on a QNAP TS-509 NAS. QNAP has combined the two into a package they call XDove. Everything seems to be working great except for one thing. When Dovecot retrieves the mail from XMail it is not removing it from XMail. It is leaving a copy on XMail. Is there an option I can set in Dovecot so it will delete the mail message from XMail when it retrieves it. Thanks Don

[Dovecot] Client Cert Auth Problem
by Christian Felsing 03 Aug '09

03 Aug '09

Hello, is there a config possible which supports both of following authentication schemes ? 1st: If user presents a client certificate, he can log in w/o username/password, where user id comes from CN. Accepting any password is not the right solution. 2nd: If user does not present a client certificate, he have to authenticate by username/password. In both cases user data is read from userdb LDAP, which is already working. I was not able to get both auth schemes working at same time. With Postfix such a config is fully operable. regards Christian

[Dovecot] Public folders, individual SEEN flags
by Keith Edmunds 03 Aug '09

03 Aug '09

Hi list I'm trying to set up shared public folders with individual SEEN flags. I've set up three test users, but as soon as one of them marks a mail in the public folder as seen or unseen, that change is propagated to all three users. If I watch the dovecot.index.log file in each user's directory for the public folder, I see all three change their last access time as soon as one user changes the SEEN status of a mail. Any hints as to what I'm doing wrong gratefully received, thanks. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # dovecot --version 1.2.1 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # dovecot -n # 1.2.1: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 i686 Debian 5.0.2 log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login mail_privileged_group: mail namespace: type: private separator: / inbox: yes list: yes subscriptions: yes namespace: type: public separator: / prefix: shared/ location: maildir:/home/publicfolders:INDEX=~/Maildir/public list: yes auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # ls -l /home/publicfolders/dovecot-shared -rw-rw-r-- 1 publicfolders publicfolders 0 2009-07-27 15:01 /home/publicfolders/dovecot-shared --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

by Robert Schetterer 03 Aug '09

03 Aug '09

Hi Timo, all of my tests fail with expire plugin, mail simply not get deleted i cant find any stuff in the logs why it does not or should not work. My guess that there is a problem with virtual plugin and/or shared namespace. It shouldnt be a problem with acl starting the script over cron as root am i right ? do you have any idea why it fails, is there a way to ignore all unneeded shared or virtual namespaces ? should there be a entry in the log when expire time is reached and deletion is unsuccessfull ? -- Best Regards MfG Robert Schetterer Germany/Munich/Bavaria

[Dovecot] Shared mailboxes and INBOX
by Keith Edmunds 03 Aug '09

03 Aug '09

I'm trying to implement a shared mailbox: in other words, we have a generic email address ("security@") which we want a number of users to be able to monitor. The problem I have is that users can see folders under that shared mailbox but can't see the INBOX.

[Dovecot] sieve filtering setup

I'm looking at implementing sieve in my environment. Software is: dovecot-1.2-sieve revision 1022:3c9a22c28156 dovecot-1.2 revision 9269:a303bb82c1c9 AIX 5.3 with sendmail mta using prescribed deliver lda. I have a few questions. I'll have 110k sieve files(1 for each user). Does sieve read the file each time a new message is accepted by sendmail? Are there any measurements on cpu load for sieve filters? Thanks, Jonathan

[Dovecot] Managesieve configuration problem
by listacc＠gmx.de 02 Aug '09

02 Aug '09

Hello! I'm trying for a lot of time to make managesieve working with dovecot 1.1.17 and virtual users on openSuSE 11.1. I think I'm doing some misconfiguration, but I can't figure it out. Perhaps it's something with the paths to the sieve scripts? In dovecot.conf I find in the comments: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ protocol managesieve { #(...) # Specifies the location of the symlink pointing to the active script in # the sieve storage directory. This must match the SIEVE setting used by # deliver (refer to http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve#location for more # info). Variable substitution with % is recognized. # Take care: if a file in a maildir: begins with a '.', it is recognized # as a folder; so, avoid this. #sieve=~/.dovecot.sieve sieve = /drbd/mail/vmail/%d/%n/dovecot.sieve } ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "This must match the SIEVE setting used by deliver", so I have to take a look to LDA section, no? But there I don't find any hint for sieve settings: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ protocol lda { # Address to use when sending rejection mails. postmaster_address = postmaster(a)mydomain.tld # Hostname to use in various parts of sent mails, eg. in Message-Id. # Default is the system's real hostname. #hostname = # Support for dynamically loadable plugins. mail_plugins is a space separated # list of plugins to load. mail_plugins = cmusieve quota mail_plugin_dir = /usr/lib64/dovecot/modules/lda # If user is over quota, return with temporary failure instead of # bouncing the mail. #quota_full_tempfail = no # Format to use for logging mail deliveries. You can use variables: # %$ - Delivery status message (e.g. "saved to INBOX") # %m - Message-ID # %s - Subject # %f - From address #deliver_log_format = msgid=%m: %$ # Binary to use for sending mails. sendmail_path = /usr/lib/sendmail # Human readable error message for rejection mails. Use can use variables: # %n = CRLF, %r = reason, %s = subject, %t = recipient rejection_reason = Your message to <%t> was automatically rejected:%n%r # UNIX socket path to master authentication server to find users. # auth_socket_path = /drbd/mail/var/run/dovecot/auth-master auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master } ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I tried to log in to managesieve manually with gnutls-cli, and that was successfull. I was able to authenticate. But when I try to put the example script from dovecot wiki (http://wiki.dovecot.org/ManageSieve/Troubleshooting) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PUTSCRIPT "hutsefluts" {6+} keep; ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I get no ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OK "Putscript completed." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ there happens nothing, managesieve seems to wait for something else. When I look now into the directory where the script should be stored (the folder has been created automatically) I don't find any script file but a folder "tmp" that contains a plaintext file with the script commands inside, eg. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ hutsefluts-12345678.M033562P2271.imap.sieve ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After disconnecting, this file disappears.

[Dovecot] E-Mail Encryption
by Christian Felsing 01 Aug '09

01 Aug '09

Hello, I am new to Dovecot but installation was quite easy, so there is one more LDAP authenticated, Dovecot / Postfix mailbox online, but there is one question left: I would like to set up a configuration, which encrypts every user mail with a unique key. If user logs in, private key should be decrypted with user password and every mail user requests should be decrypted with users private key. If a mail comes in, it should be encrypted with users public key. That key pair should be used for that purpose only. Obviously a GnuPG plugin between deliver and rest of Dovecot is needed. best reagrds Christian

[Dovecot] Clients and dovecot-uidlist
by Thomas Hummel 31 Jul '09

31 Jul '09

Hello, I'm trying to figure out what exactly (and why) are the consequences of a lost or removal of the dovecot-uidlist file on an IMAP client (Thunderbird for instance). I took for granted that it was that the client would download all messages again since it might be confused by some UID changes. But I don't really see why (on the IMAP protocol level) and I don't know how to reproduce it. My understanding is that . dovecot-uidlist is not recreated until some client selects the mailbox . the client does something like : x UID fetch 1:* (FLAGS) to begin with anyway. So I guess the problem does not occur when no new messages arrive on the mailbox since the same UIDs would be assigned to the same messages ? But why would that change ? In which situation ? But can you show me some IMAP protocol command exchange that would illustrate . when such a problem can occur . how the client would detect that there has been some UID corruption . how it would fix it Thanks -- Thomas Hummel

[Dovecot] sieve delivery to utf folders
by Nikita Koshikov 31 Jul '09

31 Jul '09

Hello list, Today, my users have noticed, that delivery to folders with non-english names is broken. For example, if I create russian directory, it correct encoded and display into mail-client program and my webmail: Encoded: Normal view .INBOX.&BEIENQRBBEI- русс This is part of sieve script, which routing delivery to russian folder. .... elsif allof (header :contains "Subject" "qwe") { fileinto "INBOX/&BEIENQRBBEI-"; } But, when actualy delivery take place, in logs I have Jul 30 17:13:49 deliver(koshikov.n(a)domain.com): Info: sieve: msgid=<4A71A9E6.5040301(a)domain.com>: stored mail into mailbox 'INBOX/&-BEIENQRBBEI- And folder .INBOX.&-BEIENQRBBEI- appears in users maildir. This folder can't be unencoded by mail-client program and user see exactly "&-BEIENQRBBEI-" under INBOX directory(also normaly encoded directory "&BEIENQRBBEI-" --> "русс" displays correct). Something breaks encoding and adds sing "-" to all words in utf encoded directory names. I can't tell exactly when this problem appear, but I remember that I have tested delivery to russian directories by sieve scripts and all worked fine. My current dovecot installation is 1.2.2, dovecot-sieve-0.1.9 and managesieve-0.11.7

The only thing this change did was to make it more difficult for programmers to remember how functions' error handling should be done. In both APIs the success is indicated by returning 0, which makes it especially difficult to notice when it's being used wrong. If they really had to change this, it would have been much better to both set errno and return -error, that way it would have allowed also 2/3 of the old style error checks: if (posix_fallocate(..) < 0) perror() // works if (posix_fallocate(..) != 0) perror() // works if (posix_fallocate(..) == -1) perror() // doesn't work Now none of them work. I did also a quick google code search for posix_fallocate and found several other programs that handle the error wrong. And I'm sure it's only going to grow. Oh well, maybe some day gcc and libc add some features to catch at least the < 0 and == -1 usage (which would already work if posix_fallocate() had been specified to return unsigned int, not int).

[Dovecot] AIX and posix_fallocate
by Ralf Becker 30 Jul '09

30 Jul '09

Hi, AIX's implementation of posix_fallocate is a little bit, let me say, peculiar. Attached is a patch to "fix" (=work around) this. Without you'll see this in the logs: Jul 28 01:17:41 trevi mail:err|error dovecot: IMAP(beckerr): posix_fallocate() failed: File exists Jul 28 01:17:41 trevi mail:err|error dovecot: IMAP(beckerr): file_set_size() failed with mbox file /u/f0/rzuser/beckerr/Mail/Ham: File exists Funny, isn't it? This is what it should be: Jul 28 01:17:41 trevi mail:err|error dovecot: IMAP(beckerr): posix_fallocate() failed: Operation not supported on socket Jul 28 01:17:41 trevi mail:err|error dovecot: IMAP(beckerr): file_set_size() failed with mbox file /u/f0/rzuser/beckerr/Mail/Ham: Operation not supported on socket The problem is, that errno is not correcly set, when posix_fallocate returns EOPNOTSUPP (="Operation not supported on socket"). In this case the return code has to be checked rather than errno. When patched dovecot handles err==EOPNOTSUPP the same way like errno==EINVAL on Solaris. A note for all AIX Admins: Without APAR IZ48778: POSIX_FALLOCATE() FAILS WITH ERROR-25(ENOTTY) resp. IZ46961: POSIX_FALLOCATE() FAILS WITH ERROR-25(ENOTTY) APPLIES TO AIX 5300-06 you don't even get EOPNOTSUPP: posix_fallocate fails with NOTTY. So you have to install one of this fixes to make the patch work. Ralf -- ______________________________________________________________________ Dipl.-Inform.

[Dovecot] lock files causing time outs with Thunderbird
by CJ Keist 30 Jul '09

30 Jul '09

I have dovecot 1.1.16 running on Solaris 10. We are seeing problem with lock files taking forever to be removed after opening a email folder like Trash with several thousand messages in them. We use mbox format. All users inbox's are local to the mail server, and all other users mail folders are stored on a separate file server mounted via NFS. I see no problems with the NFS mounts. cd'ing into the mount points, listing files and viewing files a perform with now visible delays. Is there something I can do in the config file to speed things up? Here is the config file: # 1.1.16: /userM/mail-services/dovecot/etc/dovecot.conf Warning: fd limit 256 is lower than what Dovecot can use under full load (more than 3072).

[Dovecot] imap, locks, and dovecot
by Mauricio Tavares 30 Jul '09

30 Jul '09

Let's say I have two computers -- a desktop and a laptop -- setup to check email on my postfix/dovecot/mailscanner box by using imap. Now, both machines use thunderbird and have a filter in that mail client to move emails that have a certain to: address (an alias, like support(a)domain.com) to a mail directory. The desktop is setup to check for mail every minute while the laptop initially is told to do the same. So, I send an email to the said address. dovecot (1.1.7) puts it in the inbox. thunderbird in one of those machines sees it and moves it to the, say, support folder. Then, another copy of the same mail is created and placed in the same folder. I then begin increasing the time the laptop waits before checking mails. Up to 5 minutes I am still having the double email issue, but if I the laptop to wait 10 minutes I only have one copy of the said email. That makes me think both clients are seeing the same email and moving it at the same time. I do not know the imap commands being used but it sure seems that there is not some kind of locking system for the mail files (I use maildir) to make sure only one program is accessing the said email. Am I correct? Is there a way around that?

[Dovecot] Filtering with Public Namespaces and Sieve Plugin
by Thomas Leuxner 30 Jul '09

30 Jul '09

Hi, after upgrading to Dovecot 1.2x including the rewritten Sieve plugin replacing 'cmusieve', messages which have formerly been filed to a "Public/Mailing-List" maildir are no longer filtered correctly. The sieve script itself is included in the user's personal-script. The messages are dropped to the INBOX rather than the "Public Namespace Maildir". Log's don't give a hint (at least to me). The documentation says the personal script should automatically fetch the include, and compile it in the users home...

[Dovecot] sieve redirect action
by Nikita Koshikov 30 Jul '09

30 Jul '09

Hello Stephan, First of all, thank you for dovecot-sieve implementation. I see that you are adding X-Sieve header to all outgoing e-mail in cmd-redirect.c /* Prepend sieve version header (should not affect signatures) */ rfc2822_header_field_write(f, "X-Sieve", SIEVE_IMPLEMENTATION); How do you look at adding one more header, for example X-Sieve-Forward-From: Now, when redirect action is in use - mail forwards using sendmail command line interface. The problem that there is no suitable way to know which user's script has generate redirect. Received: header may contain envelope receiver but this is valid if only 1 "rcpt to:" command was specified on SMTP session. This invokes problem when forwarding mail to non-local domains, breaking such things like SPF. I'd like to setup SRS for fixing this, but I don't know sender("sieve local user") mail. Adding one header with valid local user e-mail address will fix this. Google add 2 headers for this - X-Forwarded-To: and X-Forwarded-For: . What do you think about this ?

Re: [Dovecot] Some people asked me lately about how professional Dovecot is.

I purely love that kind of crap. As if presentations meant anything, as if there aren't all kinds of scholarly work about theoretical perfect world algorithms and conceptual systems that will never be implemented and are as practical and effective as wings on a pig. Please. I'm reminded of the story about how, during the American Civil War, when the North had finally, after years of ignominious defeats, gotten a general would could fight and win a battle, General Grant. A fussy old lady approached President Lincoln and complained loudly that Grant was a drunk. Lincoln blinked at the woman, then said, "Ma'am, if you'll be so kind as to find out what kind of whiskey Grant drinks, I'll send a case of it to all the other generals." Dovecot Works. That's all anyone needs to know. Plus it has a towering wizard of a developer and an avid, engaged and endlessly helpful community. -- ==== Once upon a time, the Internet was a friendly, neighbors-helping-neighbors small town, and no one locked their doors.

[Dovecot] STARTTLS problem

Hi I have a problem with STARTTLS, with imaps all ok. I have tried to connect to server with different clients (thunderbird, the bat, mulberry) and had same result. Thunderbird log for example: 0[284708]: 25c0e08:192.168.4.200:NA:SetupWithUrl: clearing IMAP_CONNECTION_IS_OPEN 1920[25c77c8]: ImapThreadMainLoop entering [this=25c0e08] 1920[25c77c8]: 25c0e08:192.168.4.200:NA:ProcessCurrentURL: entering 1920[25c77c8]: 25c0e08:192.168.4.200:NA:ProcessCurrentURL:imap://test%40my%2Elocal@192.168.4.200:143/select%3E/INBOX: = currentUrl 1920[25c77c8]: ReadNextLine [stream=25c8020 nb=210 needmore=0] 1920[25c77c8]: 25c0e08:192.168.4.200:NA:CreateNewLineFromSocket: * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 SASL-IR SORT THREAD=REFERENCES MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT LITERAL+ IDLE CHILDREN NAMESPACE LOGIN-REFERRALS UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN] Dovecot ready. 1920[25c77c8]: 25c0e08:192.168.4.200:NA:SendData: 1 capability 1920[25c77c8]: ReadNextLine [stream=25c8020 nb=190 needmore=0] 1920[25c77c8]: 25c0e08:192.168.4.200:NA:CreateNewLineFromSocket: * CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 SASL-IR SORT THREAD=REFERENCES MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT LITERAL+ IDLE CHILDREN NAMESPACE LOGIN-REFERRALS UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN 1920[25c77c8]: ReadNextLine [stream=25c8020 nb=28 needmore=0] 1920[25c77c8]: 25c0e08:192.168.4.200:NA:CreateNewLineFromSocket: 1 OK Capability completed. 1920[25c77c8]: 25c0e08:192.168.4.200:NA:SendData: 2 STARTTLS 1920[25c77c8]: ReadNextLine [stream=25c8020 nb=33 needmore=0] 1920[25c77c8]: 25c0e08:192.168.4.200:NA:CreateNewLineFromSocket: 2 OK Begin TLS negotiation now. 1920[25c77c8]: 25c0e08:192.168.4.200:NA:SendData: 3 capability my comment - at this place the process is waiting 1920[25c77c8]: ReadNextLine [stream=25c8020 nb=0 needmore=1] 1920[25c77c8]: 25c0e08:192.168.4.200:NA:CreateNewLineFromSocket: clearing IMAP_CONNECTION_IS_OPEN - rv = 804b0014 1920[25c77c8]: 25c0e08:192.168.4.200:NA:TellThreadToDie: close socket connection 1920[25c77c8]: 25c0e08:192.168.4.200:NA:CreateNewLineFromSocket: (null) 1920[25c77c8]: 25c0e08:192.168.4.200:NA:ProcessCurrentURL: aborting queued urls 1920[25c77c8]: ImapThreadMainLoop leaving [this=25c0e08] At same time dovecot log: Jul 29 18:33:08 freebsd dovecot: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=3339 Jul 29 18:33:34 freebsd dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=192.168.4.100, lip=192.168.4.200, TLS handshaking: Disconnected What does it mean, i don't know, because if I try to connect with gnutls-cli it works perfectly. freebsd# dovecot -n # 1.1.16: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf # OS: FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE i386 ufs syslog_facility: local0 protocols: imap imaps pop3 pop3s ssl_key_file: /etc/ssl/keys/dovecot.pem disable_plaintext_auth: no verbose_ssl: yes login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login login_greeting_capability(default): yes login_greeting_capability(imap): yes login_greeting_capability(pop3): no verbose_proctitle: yes first_valid_uid: 1000 first_valid_gid: 1000 mail_privileged_group: mail mail_uid: 4738 mail_gid: 4738 mail_location: maildir:/var/mail/vmail/%d/%n mail_debug: yes mail_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugins(default): acl mail_plugins(imap): acl mail_plugins(pop3): mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3 imap_client_workarounds(default): delay-newmail netscape-eoh tb-extra-mailbox-sep imap_client_workarounds(imap): delay-newmail netscape-eoh tb-extra-mailbox-sep imap_client_workarounds(pop3): pop3_client_workarounds(default): pop3_client_workarounds(imap): pop3_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh namespace: type: private separator: / inbox: yes list: yes subscriptions: yes namespace: type: public separator: / prefix: public/ location: maildir:/var/mail/vmail/%d/public:INDEX=/var/mail/vmail/%d/%n/public/index:CONTROL=/var/mail/vmail/%d/%n/public/control list: yes subscriptions: yes auth default: mechanisms: plain login username_format: %Lu verbose: yes debug: yes passdb: driver: passwd-file args: /usr/local/etc/passwd.dovecot userdb: driver: passwd-file args: /usr/local/etc/passwd.dovecot socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 plugin: acl: vfile any ideas ?

[Dovecot] sieve 0.1.8 raw backtrace
by jsechser＠gmx.ch 30 Jul '09

30 Jul '09

hi, I had two problems with deliver / sieve. First one is not reproducible anymore. Im using debian unstable (amd64), often dist-upgraded, with some experimental stuff too (wine i think). The first basically triggered a backtrace when confronted an email with spammassassins report headers prepended. (user_prefs: report_safe 0) However i dont have that backtrace anymore, sorry. The second poped up only later as i began to investigate more the first, a few days later. Now my entire sieve script seemed broken suddenly. After some time i narrowed it down to one offending line: >require ["fileinto","regex"]; > >if address :regex "to" ["m-a-test(a)test\\.ch","m-a-members(a)test\\.ch", \ >"m-a-region(a)test\\.ch","m-a-sig(a)test\\.ch"] { > fileinto "Test"; > stop; >} if i remove even one of the regex tests, then this script will not make deliver or sieve_test go panic. here the backtrace: 2009-07-29 18:15:37 deliver(xxx): Panic: pool_data_stack_realloc(): stack frame changed 2009-07-29 18:15:37 deliver(xxx): Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver [0x496bc2] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver(default_fatal_handler+0x34) [0x496cc4] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver [0x496346] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver [0x4a18fb] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver [0x494185] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver(buffer_write_zero+0xe5) [0x494a55] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda/lib90_sieve_plugin.so [0x7f444ca98ff2] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda/lib90_sieve_plugin.so(sieve_match_value+0xb0) [0x7f444ca8ea10] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda/lib90_sieve_plugin.so(sieve_address_match+0xe3) [0x7f444ca8e5f3] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda/lib90_sieve_plugin.so [0x7f444ca9291b] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda/lib90_sieve_plugin.so(sieve_interpreter_continue+0x97) [0x7f444ca89307] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda/lib90_sieve_plugin.so(sieve_interpreter_run+0x48) [0x7f444ca894f8] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda/lib90_sieve_plugin.so [0x7f444ca96716] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda/lib90_sieve_plugin.so(sieve_execute+0x3d) [0x7f444ca9698d] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda/lib90_sieve_plugin.so [0x7f444ca7dc8a] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver(main+0xf5e) [0x41d0fe] -> /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe6) [0x7f444ceea5c6] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver [0x41b029] I hope this helps cheers

[Dovecot] v1.2.2 released
by Timo Sirainen 29 Jul '09

29 Jul '09

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/dovecot-1.2.2.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/dovecot-1.2.2.tar.gz.sig Found and fixes several v1.2-specific bugs. Hopefully it's now stable for most people's usage. * GSSAPI: More changes to authentication. Hopefully good now. * lazy_expunge plugin: Drop \Deleted flag when moving message. + dovecot -n/-a now outputs also lda settings. + dovecot.conf !include now supports globs (e.g. !include /etc/dovecot/*.conf). Based on patch by Thomas Guthmann. + acl: Support spaces in user/group identifiers. + shared mailboxes: If only %%n is specified in prefix, default to current user's domain. - Dovecot master process could hang if it received signals too rapidly. - Fixed "corrupted index cache file" errors (and perhaps others) caused by e.g. IMAP's FETCH BODY[] command. - IMAP: When QRESYNC is enabled, don't crash when a new mail is received while IDLEing. - IMAP: FETCH X-* parameters weren't working. - Maildir++ quota: Quota was sometimes updated wrong when it was being recalculated. - Searching quoted-printable message body internally converted "_" characters to spaces and didn't match search keys with "_". - Messages in year's first/last day may have had broken timezones with OSes not having struct tm->tm_gmtoff (e.g. Solaris). - virtual plugin: If another session adds a new mailbox to index, don't crash.

[Dovecot] dovecot-1.2.2+sieve 0.1.9: sieve issues with (global?) includes
by Tom Hendrikx 29 Jul '09

29 Jul '09

Hi, After upgrading from dovecot 1.1 to dovecot 1.2.2 and the new sieve implementation (0.1.9), I'm having some strange problems. I'm including some general purpose scripts into my user script from sieve_global_dir. After some tests it seems that ths scripts get executed at random: sometimes the mail gets stored in the correct dir, and sometimes it goes to inbox. This also happens while using the same compiled .svbin file. Another indication that something is wrong with the compiled .svbin is output of sieved (see below). Running sieved on the compiled test{1,2,3}.svbin files gives regular output. Any ideas what could be causing this? user script: =============================== require ["include"]; include :global "test1.sieve"; include :global "test2.sieve"; include :global "test3.sieve"; keep; =============================== /etc/dovecot/sieve/test1.sieve: =============================== require ["fileinto"]; if header :contains "Subject" "test1" { fileinto "sieve_test"; stop; } =============================== /etc/dovecot/sieve/test2.sieve: =============================== require ["fileinto"]; if header :contains "Subject" "test2" { fileinto "sieve_test"; stop; } =============================== /etc/dovecot/sieve/test3.sieve: =============================== require ["fileinto"]; if header :contains "Subject" "test3" { fileinto "sieve_test"; stop; } =============================== Log output with mail_debug=yes: =============================== #

As can be seen, impflag0 has been magically set somehow.

FYI, I am using dovecot 1.2.1 on archlinux (they haven't upgraded the package to 1.2.2 yet, but I didn't see anything in the 1.2.2 release notes that leads me to believe this has been fixed). michael

[Dovecot] High Availability strategies
by Joseba Torre 29 Jul '09

29 Jul '09

Hi, we have a medium setup (8000 pop and imap users using almost every available client, 800GB of stored mails using maildir on a Celerra NFS server, with index files on local disks, and procmail for local delivery), being served by a Dell PowerEdge 2850 (2GB RAM and dual P4 Xeon 3,2GHz). Our current not-so-high availability setup is based on a similar server with the same setup and a easy but manual process to switch from one server to another. We are thinking about setting up some kind of serious high availability, but for every strategy we think about some problems appear, and I'd like to hear your opinions about them: - The recommended setup, with each user being sent always to the same server, is not possible because our load balancers (Cisco Catalyst 6000) can't do that. - We could put both servers behind the load balancer, and keep local index files on each server. Usually the same ip we'll be redirected to the same server, so few problems will arise. When a user is sent to a new server, index will be rebuilt so performance will be bad but we should not expect other problems, right? - We could also put the index files on a nfs share. No problems, but pretty bad performance. - We could also get more ram for the servers and keep indices in memory. How can we compare these solutions? Apart from performance, are other problems expected? Using deliver instead of procmail could improve performance? - We've also thought about some more or less weird setups, like setting up a GFS filesystem for the index files, or setting up a proxy on every server which redirect users to their fixed server, but they seem too complex for few advantages. Any recommendations? How are you doing this? -- Joseba Torre. Vicegerencia de TICs, área de Explotación

[Dovecot] Stuck with dovecot-sieve and horde-ingo ...
by Stefan G. Weichinger 29 Jul '09

29 Jul '09

Hello, dovecot-users ... as you may read at http://lists.horde.org/archives/horde/Week-of-Mon-20090706/037786.html I am stuck getting dovecot-sieve working with the ingo-application of the horde-framework. To me it seems as if ingo doesn't even trigger any request/command to managesieve ... I set "mail_debug=yes" in the managesieve-section of dovecot.conf but don't see any errors there, in fact not even loglines in /var/log/mail ... Any way to increase the loglevel here? Apache also doesn't log any errors. I am able to contact managesieve via telnet or even thunderbird's sieve-plugin. I edited the relevant backends.php over and over again, substituting, starting from scratch etc ... Could someone maybe give me some hint on how to proceed? I don't know if the problem is with dovecot or ingo or the underlying php/perl/something-stuff ... I currently use these releases: dovecot-1.2-sieve-0.1.8 dovecot-1.2-managesieve-0.11.7 dovecot-1.2.1 The server is some older Suse 10.1 ... php5-5.1.2-29.45, apache2-2.2.0-21.7, Horde Groupware Webmail Edition 1.2 # pear5 list Installed packages, channel pear.php.net: ========================================= Package Version State Archive_Tar 1.3.1 stable Console_Getopt 1.2 stable DB 1.7.12 stable Date 1.4.7 stable Log 1.9.11 stable Mail 1.1.14 stable Net_Sieve 1.1.6 stable Net_Socket 1.0.9 stable PEAR 1.4.6 stable XML_RPC 1.5.1 stable I would appreciate any input on this as this issue now already is unsolved for weeks now. And as always that is one of the features the customer wants first ;-) Aside from this dovecot is working great here, thanks ! Stefan

Hello, So i had this email in my inbox, i moved it to Folder1/tickets/ folder, then i decided to move the same email back to my inbox and when i went to the inbox it wasnt there nor in Folder1/tickets/ folder... I opened a SSH session to the mail server and went to /srv/mail/ vmail/DOMAIN.COM/rventura/Maildir There i did "ll expunged/.INBOX/cur" and it showed me 300+ emails i then did "cat expunged/.INBOX/cur/the email i needed" and it showed me the email contents and since it was the one i needed i then try to do "mv expunged/.INBOX/cur/email-id" and it returned: mv: cannot stat `expunged/.INBOX/cur/ 1248796845.M207411P29102.housigma20,W=6193:2,STab': No such file or directory I do another "ll expunged/.INBOX/cur/" returns total 0.....

[Dovecot] Cannot get plaintext auth working on IMAP or POP
by crunchbytes 28 Jul '09

28 Jul '09

Server: Ubuntu 9.04 desktop edition Dovecot 1.1.11 Issue: I have set dovecot.conf with: disable_plaintext_auth = no but everytime I have a client (Windows Live Mail, ubuntu evolution) connect from the Internet, I have the following type of message: Plaintext authentication disallowed on non-secure (SSL/TLS) connections. in my mail.log, I have: Jul 28 15:09:43 "name" dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (tried to use disabled plaintext auth): rip=x.x.x.x, lip=x.x.x.x Unfortunately I need plaintext auth IMAP. If I VPN in and use IMAPS, it works a treat - but I can't always do this, hence needing plain old IMAP. Any ideas anyone? What am I missing?

[Dovecot] namespaces / list=no crash
by Jernej Porenta 28 Jul '09

28 Jul '09

Hey everyone, I am trying to migrate old UW-IMAP setup to dovecot 1.2.2 using namespaces as recommended for UW-IMAP backwards compatibility: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Namespaces I am trying to use these settings: mail_location = mbox:~/:INBOX=~/.mailbox # default namespace namespace private { separator = / prefix = inbox = yes } # for backwards compatibility: namespace private { separator = / prefix = mail/ hidden = yes list = no # for v1.1+ subscriptions = no } With upper settings, dovecot crashes upon login. (GDB trace is here: http://www2.arnes.si/~krklubsls13/dovecot-gdb.txt) If I change "list = no" to list = yes|children, everything is working fine. This settings were working fine with dovecot 1.1, so I don't know what is the deal... dovecot -n : http://www2.arnes.si/~krklubsls13/dovecot-conf.txt thanks in advance, regards Jernej

It compiles binaries for system from sources using ebuilds. I attach full compile log, can you tell me where stripping appear? There's no -g parameter given to gcc. The emerge overrides CFLAGS by adding -march=i686 etc. stuff in there, which also removes -g parameter. Try to figure out some way to add it back.

[Dovecot] Dovecot broken with newer OpenSSL
by Brad 28 Jul '09

28 Jul '09

After updating my system from OpenSSL 0.9.8j to 0.9.8k Dovecot has stopped functioning properly with TLS sessions. The version of Dovecot does not seem to matter as I tried 1.1.11 - 1.1.14. Other programs using SSL/TLS such as Postfix and lightty still work fine when built with the newer release of OpenSSL. The IMAP client doesn't matter. For the time being I have gone back to .13 linked against older OpenSSL. In the logs I see messages like the following... dovecot: Apr 16 23:12:18 Info: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=2001:470:b01e:3:216:41ff:fe17:6933, lip=2001:470:1d:8c::2, TLS handshaking: Disconnected -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

[Dovecot] Dovecot 1.2.2
by Guy 28 Jul '09

28 Jul '09

Hi, I've just tried upgrading from 1.1.8 to 1.2.2. As soon as the new version was started up the number of imap/pop3 processes began to climb to 800+, where I normally have about 300 or so connections at any given time. The load on the server also climbed to 150+. I've reverted back to 1.1.18, which is running just fine, but is there anything I can do to help trace what was causing the problem? Unfortunately I don't have a clue where to start. Thanks Guy -- Don't just do something...sit there!

[Dovecot] folder in dovecot
by Diego Roversi 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

Hello, I'm quite new to dovecot, and I have some questions about folders. At the moment I've a script that use fetchmail + procmail to get mail from the isp, and save the mail in different folder. The idea is to save mail from different mailing list in different folder. Now I've installed dovecot so i can read mail from different computers, and i want to export all the folders. I start with a simple configuration: root@debian:/home/diego# dovecot -n # 1.1.11: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.30-rc8 armv5tel Ubuntu 9.04 log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: maildir:~/Mail/inbox mail_debug: yes namespace: type: private separator: / location: maildir:~/Mail/inbox inbox: yes list: yes subscriptions: yes namespace: type: private separator: / prefix: openmoko/ location: maildir:~/Mail/openmoko list: yes subscriptions: yes auth default: passdb: driver: passwd-file args: /etc/passwd.dovecot userdb: driver: passwd I use icedove (thunderbird) to connect to the dovecot server and I see the two folder. But openmoko one looks empty, even if there are more then 10k messages. Without namespaces and setting mail_location pointing to the openmoko folder works, i see the messages of openmoko folder as inbox in icedove. What's wrong? Do you have any suggestion? Thanks in advance, Diego Roversi.

It probably won't have many released left. + dovecot -n/-a now outputs also lda settings. - Maildir++ quota: Quota was sometimes updated wrong when it was being recalculated. - Searching quoted-printable message body internally converted "_" characters to spaces and didn't match search keys with "_". - Messages in year's first/last day may have had broken timezones with OSes not having struct tm->tm_gmtoff (e.g. Solaris).

[Dovecot] Funky quota things
by Guy 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

Hi guys, I already use Dovecot for imap/pop3 with some simple quota options. I'm starting to look at the switch from maildrop to dovecot lda and I'm wondering whether it's possible to do our unusual quota management with the quota plugin. We have the users total quota in MySQL along with a number of grace days (counts up to 7). The amount of space used is stored in maildirsize in the users maildir. What we currently some bits of voodoo which allow the user to go up to 200% of their quota. When they go over 100% they start receiving warnings and their grace days start counting down. If the account is still using over 100% of quota after the 7 days then the 100% quota is enforced so no new mail will be accepted. So is something like this "burst" quota possible in the Dovecot plugin? Thanks Guy -- Don't just do something...sit there!

[Dovecot] Sylpheed-claws and virtual mailboxes
by Thomas Berker 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

Hi! Has someone encountered the following problem? What am I doing wrong or does someone know a workaround? Dovecot 1.2.1 on Debian unstable, two namespaces: namespace private { prefix = location = maildir:~/res/Maildir:LAYOUT=fs inbox = yes list = yes } namespace private { prefix = gtd/ separator = / list = yes location = virtual:~/res/Maildir/gtd:LAYOUT=fs:INBOX=~/res/Maildir/gtd } The problem: cur, tmp, new maildir folders get created within the folder gtd when it is opened by Sylpheed-claws (3.7.1). Subfolders in gtd holding the dovecot-virtual files are not recognised as mail folders at all, they show up but do nothing. Other clients (I have tested thunderbird, evolution) work as expected: they show the folder gtd and the sub-folders perform searches. Thanks in advance, tb

[Dovecot] Problems with ioloop on MacOS
by David Abrahams 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

I've been using the macports version of dovecot, which is 1.1.11, on MacOS 10.5.6 $ /opt/local/sbin/dovecot --exec-mail imap Fatal: kevent(EV_ADD, 0) failed: Operation not supported This version is configured --with-ioloop=kqueue The problem seems to be known, if not understood: http://lists.apple.com/archives/Darwin-userlevel/2008/Dec/msg00010.html However, if I use --with-ioloop=poll, I eventually get IMAP(dave): [9079]: invalid I/O fd 0, callback 0x9330 (not from the above command; it's a little later when Gnus tries to interact with dovecot through the shell) I've been unable to build/install any later versions of dovecot on MacOS. autogen.sh fails like this: ... glibtoolize: putting auxiliary files in `.'. glibtoolize: copying file `./ltmain.sh' glibtoolize: Consider adding `AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4])' to configure.in and glibtoolize: rerunning glibtoolize, to keep the correct libtool macros in-tree. glibtoolize: Consider adding `-I m4' to ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS in Makefile.am. configure.in:281: installing `./config.guess' configure.in:282: required file `./config.rpath' not found configure.in:281: installing `./config.sub' configure.in:5: installing `./install-sh' configure.in:5: installing `./missing' src/auth/Makefile.am: installing `./depcomp' autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1 -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com

[Dovecot] [BUG] Incorrect maildir quota value after maildirsize creation
by Adam Osuchowski 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

I found a problem with maildir++ quota. When dovecot creates maildirsize file, it counts quota wrong. This is, how I reproduce a situation on version 1.2.0: First, I remove maildirsize file: # cd /var/mail/test # rm -f maildirsize # ls -la total 32 drwx--S--- 5 mbox mbox 4096 Jul 12 20:45 . drwxrwsr-x 3 root mbox 4096 Jul 12 20:39 .. drwx--S--- 2 mbox mbox 4096 Jul 9 20:45 cur -rw------- 1 mbox mbox 491 Jul 12 20:45 dovecot-uidlist -rw------- 1 mbox mbox 8 Jul 12 20:45 dovecot-uidvalidity -rw------- 1 mbox mbox 8536 Jul 12 20:45 dovecot.index.cache -rw------- 1 mbox mbox 284 Jul 12 20:45 dovecot.index.log drwx--S--- 2 mbox mbox 4096 Jul 12 00:58 new drwx--S--- 2 mbox mbox 4096 Jul 12 00:58 tmp I have 8 emails which take 14183471 bytes together: # find cur new -type f | wc -l 8 # find cur new -type f -printf '%s\n' | awk 'END { print a } { a += $0 }' 14183471 Now, I connect to dovecot via POP3 and delete exactly _one_ email which takes 969 bytes. After that, maildirsize file has been created: # ls -la total 48 drwx--S--- 5 mbox mbox 4096 Jul 12 20:50 . drwxrwsr-x 3 root mbox 4096 Jul 12 20:39 .. drwx--S--- 2 mbox mbox 4096 Jul 12 20:50 cur -rw------- 1 mbox mbox 491 Jul 12 20:45 dovecot-uidlist -rw------- 1 mbox mbox 8 Jul 12 20:45 dovecot-uidvalidity -rw------- 1 mbox mbox 8536 Jul 12 20:50 dovecot.index.cache -rw------- 1 mbox mbox 532 Jul 12 20:50 dovecot.index.log -rw------- 1 mbox mbox 28 Jul 12 20:50 maildirsize drwx--S--- 2 mbox mbox 4096 Jul 9 00:58 new drwx--S--- 2 mbox mbox 4096 Jul 9 00:58 tmp # cat maildirsize 5242880S 14182502 7 -969 -1 So, maildirsize says, that there should be 7-1=6 emails which should take 14182502-969=14181533 bytes together. In fact, there are 7 emails (I delete only one of eight emails) which take 14182502 bytes together (deleted email taked 969 bytes): # find cur new -type f | wc -l 7 # find cur new -type f -printf '%s\n' | awk 'END { print a } { a += $0 }' 14182502 I figured, that dovecot after physically file removal, calls function maildir_quota_update(), which calls maildirquota_refresh() first (which in turn recalculate quota with new values), and then calls maildirsize_update(), which additionally and incorrectly decreases quota value. Regards, Adam.

I'm using the mysql program supported Dovecot but ? have a problem about qoution so I would like to put user specific quota. Would you like to send me necessary settings. dovecot-sql.conf file would be? Please send conf dovecot-sql.conf ? dovecot 1.1.13 dovecot.conf file dict { quotadict = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dict-quota.conf } plugin { quota = dict:user::proxy::quotadict quota_rule = *:storage=200M:messages=10000 quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=100M quota_warning = storage=95%% /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh 95 quota_warning2 = storage=80%% /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh 80 } Thanks for your feedback.

[Dovecot] [PATCH] include parameters can handle globbing
by Thomas GUTHMANN 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

Hey guys, This patch will allow you to include different configuration files in the main dovecot.conf by using globbing [1] (like Apache for instance). !include = conf.d/*.conf !include_try = /etc/dovecot/extra* So with this you can split the dovecot.conf in different smaller configuration files. It's more the debian way to do that. But it's very handy if you have to generate dynamically parts of dovecot.conf based on a centralized main configuration (imagine you have 10 servers and you want to change the default quota for instance, do a script which update that based on the data contained in SQL/LDAP/XML/whatever). I designed this for my personal use with dovecot 1.2.1. It does the job. But I warn you :) My code may hurt your eyes. If so either close them or improve/fix my code or ... "Hare Krishna" [2] :) The include features has been done and almost kept hidden by Timo :) I've just add the globbing feature to !include and !include_try. The patch will modify - src/lib-settings/settings.c - dovecot-example.conf $ cd dovecot-1.2.1 $ patch -p1 < includepatch.diff It has been test with GNU/Linux Debian dunno if it compiles on FreeBSD/AIX/MacOSX but everything is POSIX compliant so... it should :) Cheers, Thomas [1]: Thanks Aria for the tip about the glob() function. It's cleaner. [2]: Rumor has it that Hare Krishna means hire a consultant in Hindi.

[Dovecot] mail_location in namespace
by Vasiliy Tolstov 27 Jul '09

Hello! I'm try to build additional 2 private namespaces namespace private { prefix = 1/ #location = ~/mail/1 list = yes subscriptions = yes } namespace private { prefix = 2/ #location = ~/mail/2 list = yes subscriptions = yes } First private namespace contains inbox and mail_location not defined (selects in sql query in userdb). Is dovecot have variable which contains current mail_location like current home? And if i have location = ~/mail/2 and subscrive to namespace in my mail client - i have error like mailbox does not exists. Where i must create folder fo what namespace? in ~/mail or ~/mail/mailboxes? Thank You. -- Vasiliy Tolstov <v.tolstov(a)selfip.ru> Selfip.Ru

by Matt Petoe 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

Hello, I'm using dovecot as a mail relay so that I can back up my providers IMAP mail locally. I'm impressed how easy this was to set up, but I'm having a quirk that I would like help with, if possible. There are many weak links in my set-up chain, if you will, but I think I've narrowed the problem. I'll describe my set-up anyway. I'm running dovecot 1.1.4 on ubuntu 8.10. I have a shared NAS drive running a NFS server. I have chosen to store the .indexes and .control directories on the NAS also, since I want a set-up that will remain backed up and easily replicated if I (accidentally) erase the ubuntu install in the future. I'm using imapsync to copy messages from my email provider. It works once only, and subsequent attempts seem to hang when accessing any local dovecot mailbox folders that were changed last time. I have succeeded in using Thunderbird to access the dovecot mailboxes once. I know the paths are being found, because I can 'list' mailboxes when I telnet locally: b list "" * * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "Trash" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "Drafts" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "indexes" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "control" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "Junk" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "Sent" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "Trash-1000" b OK List completed. However, a 'select' command will only work for empty folders (such as .Trash). If I try to select a full folder such as ".Sent" then the process just hangs. The logs don't mention anything interesting, even though I have enabled debug_on and auth_debug. However, I attached a trace to the 'imap' process and got something interesting. I think maybe the lock process is failing for some reason? Here's a snip of the failure when selecting the .Sent folder: 12:00:21.190011 gettimeofday({1248141621, 190099}, NULL) = 0 12:00:21.190503 read(0, "f select Sent\r\n", 4034) = 15 12:00:21.190906 stat64("/mnt/Mail/.Sent/tmp", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0700, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 12:00:21.241561 stat64("/mnt/Mail/.indexes/.Sent", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0700, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 12:00:21.248325 stat64("/mnt/Mail/.Sent/dovecot-shared", 0xbf86c6c8) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 12:00:21.248847 time(NULL) = 1248141621 12:00:21.249060 open("/mnt/Mail/.indexes/.Sent/dovecot.index.log", O_RDWR|O_LARGEFILE) = 7 12:00:21.286953 fstat64(7, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0600, st_size=26472, ...}) = 0 12:00:21.287423 pread64(7, "\1\0\30\0\264:dJ\4\0\0\0\3\0\0\0\\\200\0\0\374?dJ", 24, 0) = 24 12:00:21.287696 stat64("/mnt/Mail/.indexes/.Sent/dovecot.index.log.2", 0xbf86c5ac) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 12:00:21.288070 open("/mnt/Mail/.indexes/.Sent/dovecot.index.log.2", O_RDWR|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 12:00:21.288614 open("/mnt/Mail/.indexes/.Sent/dovecot.index", O_RDWR|O_LARGEFILE) = 9 12:00:21.296814 alarm(60) = 0 12:00:21.297181 fcntl64(9, F_SETLKW64, {type=F_RDLCK, whence=SEEK_SET, start=0, len=0} I have set the locks to dotlock_try followed by fcntl. The trace above seemed to fail with the dotlock, and proceed to fcntl? Here is the output from dovecot -n # 1.1.4: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf log_path: /var/log/dovecot.log log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_greeting_capability: yes mail_max_userip_connections: 0 mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: maildir:/mnt/Mail:INBOX=/mnt/Mail/.INBOX:INDEX=/mnt/Mail/.indexes/:CONTROL=/mnt/Mail/.control mail_debug: yes mail_full_filesystem_access: yes mmap_disable: yes dotlock_use_excl: no mail_nfs_storage: yes mail_nfs_index: yes lock_method: dotlock maildir_stat_dirs: yes mbox_read_locks: dotlock_try fcntl mbox_write_locks: dotlock_try fcntl imap_client_workarounds: tb-extra-mailbox-sep auth default: verbose: yes debug: yes passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd Sorry if this is a long post. The summary, I guess, is that I can't access mailbox folders with emails inside. I'm very new at all this, and only got this far from the excellent wiki. But now I'm stumped. Thanks heaps, Matt P

[Dovecot] lazy expunge - how to unset deleted imap flag
by Colo Colo 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

Hello, I am using dovecot 1.1.13 in debian lenny with exim4 and I have Outlook 2007 clients. I have configured lazy expunge plugin. User marks messages in INBOX for deletion then click "delete messages from server" then the messages are moved to .EXPUNGED folder which is correct but they are still marked with IMAP deleted flag which is bad cause when user marks another messages in INBOX for deletion and click again on "delete messages from server" the messages which were in .EXPUNGE are gone forever. Is there any possibility to change this behavior i.e. instead from: move messages tagged for deletion to .EXPUNGE folder to: move messages tagged for deletion to .EXPUNGE folder and UNSET deleted flag ? Thanx

[Dovecot] Public mailboxes with ACL in 1.2
by sstrickroth＠trg-oha.de 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

Hi, I'm new to Dovecot 1.2 and I'd like to replace uw-imap. I'd like to have the following setup: - Personal mailboxes using maildir for all users (no problem) - Public mailboxes for certain people who are in special groups from /etc/group localed in /var/spool/public as a maildir with subfolders for each group (which should only be visible for that group and also secured by filesystem group permissions). At best those folders should be visible for the users below "shared"-folder or parallel to the inbox. The public mailboxes should be secured by custom ACLs (so that not all ppl. can create new folders and so on). How can I make Dovecot authenticate against pam and use groups in /etc/group? When I activate the ACL plugin all public or shared mailboxes are hidden. How can I avoid this for the public mailboxes? Thanks in advance. Sven

[Dovecot] Search fails on underscores in quoted-printable
by Andreas M. Kirchwitz 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

Hi folks, currently I'm running Dovecot 1.2.1. Compiled from source on Fedora 10 Linux 32 Bit (all patches). Clients are Pine 4.64, Thunderbird 2.0.0.22 and Mutt 1.5.20 (using "=b" for server-side searching). When a message contains the text "under_score" and I let the server search for it, Dovecot does not find it in messages with a Content-Transfer-Encoding of "quoted-printable". It works perfectly well with messages without Content-Transfer-Encoding. If I replace the underscore with a space (search for "under score"), it magically matches on "under_score" (no space but underscore). Looks like something goes wrong with the encoding/decoding of quoted-printable (sorry, haven't tried with base64). Example: Dovecot does not find "under_score" | Date: Fri, 24 Jul 2009 02:08:45 +0200 | From: "Andreas M. Kirchwitz" <amk(a)krell.zikzak.de> | To: "Andreas M. Kirchwitz" <amk(a)krell.zikzak.de> | MIME-Version: 1.0 | Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 | Content-Disposition: inline | Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable | | test for under_score and dovecot search (=E4=F6=FC=DF) Example: Dovecot find's "under_score" without problems | Date: Fri, 24 Jul 2009 02:10:26 +0200 | From: "Andreas M. Kirchwitz" <amk(a)krell.zikzak.de> | To: "Andreas M. Kirchwitz" <amk(a)krell.zikzak.de> | MIME-Version: 1.0 | Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii | Content-Disposition: inline | | test for under_score and dovecot search (1234) The problem is not new to Dovecot 1.2.1 but exists in the 1.1 series as well. Greetings, Andreas

[Dovecot] Handling of file "maildirsize"
by Frank Elsner 26 Jul '09

26 Jul '09

Hello, My "exim" is doing the deliveries, "dovecot" handles POP/IMAP. Exim Log shows: 2009-07-24 14:03:40 1MUJUy-0001Jr-B0 == user(a)domain.tu-berlin.de R=maildir_user T=maildir_delivery defer (2): No such file or directory: while opening or reading /var/Mail/Boxes/u/user/maildirsize 2009-07-24 14:20:32 1MUJUy-0001Jr-B0 => user <user(a)domain.tu-berlin.de> F=<user(a)domain.tu-berlin.de> R=maildir_user T=maildir_delivery S=2061 QT=16m52s DT=0s The user was active using IMAP at 14:03:4*. Therefor there must be a short period of time where no maildirsize exists. Can this really happen? If yes, could this behaviour be changed? Kind regards, Frank Elsner

[Dovecot] Dovecot 1.2, quota and LDAP
by Stian Jordet 26 Jul '09

26 Jul '09

Hi! I'm in the progress of upgrading from Dovecot 1.0.15 to 1.2.1. This has gone pretty smooth. I just have one question to check wether I have understood the documentation right. I have both system users and virtual users. That's easy to do when using LDAP for userdb. The system users use filesystems quota, the virtual users use maildir quota. I achieved this using the following in LDAP: "fs:" (for system users, obviously) and "maildir:storage=2048000" for virtual users. This has worked fine for years. But after reading the documentation, it seems I now have to use two ldap-fields to achieve the same thing? One "quota" and one "quota_rule"? Is this correct? It's of course not impossible, but it's kinda a hassle to hand craft a new schema, deploy, and update all the user's entries. If my users didn't have two kind of quotas, it would be easy, but with two quota methods, I don't see any other way than to use two ldap-fields. Which I hope I don't have to :) Thanks. Regards, Stian

[Dovecot] configure performs checks for not needed sasl headers
by Pascal Volk 26 Jul '09

26 Jul '09

Hi, I'm always surprised when I see output from configure like checking for really_not_needed.h... no The configure script is always 'checking sasl.h usability' even when the --without-ldap option was specified. The attached patch checks the presence of sasl.h / sasl/sasl.h only when using the --with-ldap option && all required LDAP headers and libs are available.
