Thanks Brandon. It seems I should try it out, especially given that using the dovecot LDA includes W= in the filename. I'll report back on this thread once testing is done.

[Dovecot] Sieve regex match problem
by Andy Howell 22 Jan '09

22 Jan '09

I'm trying to make a regex to match common mailing list addresses and file messages to corresponding folders. I'm using sieve-test to try and understand what is happening. The sieve script is: require [ "fileinto", "regex", "variables" ]; if header :regex ["Sender"] ["(.*>[ \\t]*,?[ \\t]*)?([^-@]*)-([^-@]*)(-bounces)?@antlr.org"] { fileinto "${0} :: 1:${1} 2:${2} 3:${3} 4:${4} 5:${5} 6:${6} 7:${7}"; } The email contains: Sender: antlr-interest-bounces(a)antlr.org I'm trying to form a folder from the first two parts of the sender. In the real script, that will do a "fileto antlr.interest;" Running sieve-test, I get: * store message in folder: antlr-interest-bounces(a)antlr.org :: 1: 2:antlr 3: 4:interest 5: 6:-bounces 7: I don't understand why parts 3 and 5 are empty. From the regex grouping, I expected Part 2 "antlr" Part 3 "interest" Part 4 "-bounces" The regex groups break done as: 1: (.*>[ \\t]*,?[ \\t]*)? - match leading name, comma or spaces 2: ([^-@]*) - match first part: 'antlr' in his case - - Hyphen between parts 3: ([^-@]*) - match second part: interest in this case 4: (-bounces)? - When cc'd, -bounces part isn't used The same regex tested with perl works as I expected. Without the first group of the regex '(.*>[ \\t]*,?[ \\t]*)?', it works correctly. That group isn't getting matched anyway, so it shouldn't matter. This is with 1.2alpha5. What am I missing? Thanks, Andy

[Dovecot] Migration question: .INBOX?
by Peter Lindgren 22 Jan '09

22 Jan '09

Hi, Not much left to fix in my migration script (moving between two dovecot servers). However, I discovered a mail folder .INBOX without cur, new and tmp subfolders, and the .imap.index files were rather old (feb 2006). Is this an old relic from early dovecot versions (I once ran 0.99 on this old server)? Or is it old client software? There are no data in it. TIA, Peter -- Peter Lindgren http://www.norrskenkonsult.com

[Dovecot] Intermittent "certificate cannot be verified" error
by Guy 22 Jan '09

22 Jan '09

Hi guys, Not sure where to start looking for this. I've got a few users getting intermittent "certificate cannot be verified" messages when connecting through SSL to Dovecot. Connections go through haproxy to Dovecot 1.1.8 on the back end servers. I've got verbose_ssl and auth_debug enabled. All I'm seeing on the logs for the time the users reported the error is this: Jan 21 23:30:51 mink dovecot: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=28811 Jan 21 23:30:51 mink dovecot: IMAP(user1(a)domain1.net): Disconnected in IDLE bytes=73/4235 Jan 21 23:24:23 mink dovecot: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=28811 Jan 21 23:24:23 mink dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=x.x.x.x, lip=x.x.x.x Jan 21 23:24:23 mink dovecot: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=28811 Jan 21 23:24:24 mink dovecot: IMAP(user2(a)domain1.net): Disconnected in IDLE bytes=89/920 Since it's so intermittent I'm not sure where to start. Since there are no real errors in the Dovecot logs I'm suspecting that haproxy is perhaps not routing every packet correctly leading to Dovecot not getting all the data needed for the connection. Are there any other possibilities I've missed?

[Dovecot] Courier->dovecot migration script
by Warren Baker 22 Jan '09

HI All, We have the latest Dovecot 1.1.6 running and I need to migrate some POP3 users over from Courier to Dovecot and would need to convert the courierpop3dsizelist to maintain the UIDs. I just need to confirm that the script (http://www.dovecot.org/tools/courier-dovecot-migrate.pl) only works for Dovecot v1.0 and not for v1.1? As the dovecout-uidlist file that is created (by the script) is not in the same format as dovecot-uidlist file that is created by the 1.1.6 server. Thanks, Warren

[Dovecot] Probleme decoding attachements with Apple mail client
by Frank Bonnet 22 Jan '09

22 Jan '09

Hello folks An Apple user here have troubles between Dovecot and its Apple mail client that presents ALL attachements inline inside emails instead of "Attachements" the problem occurs only when using IMAP , when using POP3 attachements appears as they are supposed to do. I would like to know if other Apple users in this list has experienced and solved that problem , the machine in running MacOS 10.5 Thanks a lot. -- Cordialement Frank Bonnet ESIEE Paris

[Dovecot] docecot managesieve global filter, service name
by Wolfgang.Friebel＠desy.de 21 Jan '09

21 Jan '09

I do have two questions related to the managesieve setup in dovecot 1) I did setup a global sieve filter, that is invoked if a user has no other sieve filter. If a user installs a sieve filter and activates it (PUTSCRIPT, SETACTIVE) then the sieve filter gets compiled (.sievec) and deliver does use it. If I want to deactivate the filter (SETACTIVE "") only the symlink (to the .sieve script) is removed, the .sievec file remains intact. On the other hand the dovecot documentation reads (http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve) To stop using sieve, both the .sieve source file and the compiled .sievec file must be deleted How can I let a user switch between the globally installed sieve filter and an own filter. Activation seems to be ok, but deactivation would not result in the switch back to the global filter if I believe the docs. 2) To use the SASL authentication with managesieve the name of the service has to be given. In the managesieve RFC http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-sieve-managesieve-09 I can read (page13): The service name specified by this protocol's profile of SASL is "sieve". On the other hand I can find in managesieve-0.10.4 in client-authenticate.c #define MANAGESIEVE_SERVICE_NAME "managesieve" The name is important for the Kerberos5 auth I am doing, as I have to provide a service key for managesieve.hostname@REALM instead of sieve.hostname@REALM. Currently I have adapted my auth to the "managesieve" service name but maybe that should be changed. My Installation: dovecot 1.1.8 patched for dovecot-1.1-managesieve-0.10.4 Authentication using SASL (GSSAPI), contained in the perl Module Net::ManageSieve on CPAN. -- Wolfgang Friebel Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY Phone/Fax: +49 33762 77372/216 Platanenallee 6 Mail: Wolfgang.Friebel AT desy.de D-15738 Zeuthen Germany

[Dovecot] Questions regarding Dovecot's POP3 implementation
by Dale Gallagher 21 Jan '09

21 Jan '09

Hi all I'm considering moving over my POP3 service from qmail-pop3d to Dovecot for the following reasons: - Support for Maildir++ which I have yet to implement - Already using Dovecot for IMAP, so makes sense i.t.o Maildir++ - Support for SQL based user authentication My primary concerns are performance and security. Before I go down that route of migrating away from qmail-pop3d, I'd appreciate some answers and feedback on the following. There is mention of the Maildir filename extension W= for virtual file size here: http://wiki.dovecot.org/POP3Server However, I can't find any MDAs which support writing the filename in this format. Maildrop seems to support S= only? If Dovecot is only able to read W= in the filename, I would imagine that it might make sense to have an MDA like Maildrop write the message to disk, replacing all LF with CR+LF and finally write the filename with identical S= and W= filename extensions included? Example: Maildrop replaces all LFs with CR+LF in incoming message. Maildrop writes message as: 1035478339.27041_118.foo.org,S=1000,W=1000 (where 1000 is the file's RFC822.SIZE) Then Dovecot doesn't have to calculate virtual message sizes. I've also found this thread: http://markmail.org/message/oznf2f7m7hvsxqn6 ... which suggests changing mail_get_virtual_size to mail_get_physical_size in src/pop3/client.c Would this read the size from S=, or do a stat()? 5. Does anyone use Dovecot pop3 service on thousands of mailboxes and if so, what specific tweaks / setup do you use? Thanks Dale

[Dovecot] deliver rejection bounces
by Timo Sirainen 21 Jan '09

Is there any reason not to make (for v1.2) 1) deliver -e behavior the defaut? 2) not even provide the option for the current default (have deliver send bounces itself)? The only reason it even works like it does currently is because I just mostly copied what Cyrus did.

[Dovecot] Active Directory authentication
by Dimitrios Karapiperis 21 Jan '09

21 Jan '09

Hello all I would like to ask if there is adequate mechanism to authenticate users through POP3 against Active Directory by Outlook Express so that users will authenticate seamlessly using logon credentials. I have implemented LDAP authentication but users must supply their credentials to Outlook Express although they have logged on to Windows (AD). the ntlm auth in Dovecot 1.1 (windind) satisies this requirement (no credentials in Outlook)? thanks Dimitrios

[Dovecot] Move from 1.0.rc29 to 1.1.7?
by Peter Lindgren 20 Jan '09

20 Jan '09

Hello! I am moving my mail from the old server with 1.0.rc29 to a brand new server with 1.1.7. I use Maildir in both servers. A few questions: 1) The new server has another name, can I just copy the mail files as-is, will the server name in the file names matter? 2) The new server has a different architecture and different endian, so I plan not to copy the index and cache files; they seem to have become broken from time to time in the old server anyway. Dovecot will also re-create them when needed. Ok? 3) 1.0.rc29 did not store the message size in the file name as later versions. When will Dovecot do the check and rename the files to include the message size? There are some folders with quite large number of messages, the largest is some 45,000 messages. TIA, /Peter -- Peter Lindgren http://www.norrskenkonsult.com

[Dovecot] Dovecot optimisation
by Proskurin Kirill 20 Jan '09

20 Jan '09

Hello all. We start to use Dovecot at our email production but it runs not such fast as we expect. We use Dell 2950 with 4GbRAM at FreeBSD-7.0-p9 - load avarage never upper a 0.5 We have about 500 clients most of it use Outlook 2007 via IMAP. We run in this problems: 1) Sync of imap folder is really slow(I think it is Outlook problem) 2) Time after time we got Sync error from outlook 3) Time after time our monitoring system says what IMAP port not answer in 10 sec. In real life it start to answer in 15-20 sec what is not really good - client thinks what server don`t work. If I restart dovecot - it start to answer in 1-3 sec.

[Dovecot] Errmsgs b4 and after migration DC V1.0.15 to V1.1.8
by Stewart Dean 20 Jan '09

20 Jan '09

Last Wednesday at 12:21 I made this switch, which seemed to be uneventful. In any case, no user has reported problems since the migration. Not content to leave well enough alone, this morning I scanned the syslog and maillog for dovecot related errors. What I found was that: Before the Migration=========================== I saw a lot of SSL errors that look like this: > Jan 14 11:49:23 mercury mail:warn|warning dovecot: imap-login: SSL_read() syscall failed: Connection reset by peer [69.180.200.184] > Jan 14 11:52:28 mercury mail:warn|warning dovecot: imap-login: SSL_read() syscall failed: Connection reset by peer [68.6.82.45] Which l took to be breakin attempts of some sort, except that I haven't seen any since the migration! After the migration==================================== I see errors like this: > Jan 14 12:21:45 mercury mail:err|error dovecot: IMAP(eg115): Corrupted index cache file /var/dcindx/eg115/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.cache: Broken MIME parts for mail UID 1934 > Jan 14 12:21:46 mercury mail:err|error dovecot: IMAP(alexande): Corrupted index cache file /var/dcindx/alexande/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.cache: Broken MIME parts for mail UID 132641 > Jan 14 12:21:46 mercury mail:err|error dovecot: IMAP(ls454): Corrupted index cache file /var/dcindx/ls454/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.cache: Broken MIME parts for mail UID 47 > Jan 14 12:21:46 mercury mail:err|error dovecot: IMAP(tr489): Corrupted index cache file /var/dcindx/tr489/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.cache: Broken MIME parts for mail UID 1 > Jan 14 12:21:54 mercury mail:err|error dovecot: IMAP(bh265): Corrupted index cache file /var/dcindx/bh265/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.cache: Broken MIME parts for mail UID 2 > Jan 14 12:22:01 mercury mail:err|error dovecot: IMAP(crouch): Corrupted index cache file /var/dcindx/crouch/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.cache: Broken MIME parts for mail UID 4863 > It appears that this error appears the first time a folder is referenced, then not again (I think but am not absolutely positive). Did the indexing method/format change in some way that would cause this (and Dovecot heals itself!) ? Is there any continuing problem inherent in this that needs to be dealt with?

[Dovecot] Coding question again...
by Stefan Jurisch 20 Jan '09

20 Jan '09

Hello again, I have a coding question again: I can obtain the path of the current user's mailbox with the function mail_storage_get_mailbox_path(...) - so far so good. But is it possible to get this mailbox path for another user than the logged in one? Thanks in advance. Best regards.

Hi i want to migrate from dbmail to dovecot, the main problem is passwords. dbmail uses "md5-hash" wich crypt "111" to "$1$tZNR7pR4$jMuuKWm7ljRyL8iEMfjep.". Tried all dovecot pass schemes thru `dovecotpw` and no one matches. The main question is how to migrate dbmail -> dovecot.

[Dovecot] "userdb didn't return a home directory" with v1.1.7
by Ivars Strazdiņš 20 Jan '09

20 Jan '09

Hi all, I am running Dovecot v1.1.7 in a relatively quiet and calm environment. Suddenly overnight cron job started throwing out errors like: /usr/sbin/dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/lib/dovecot/expire-tool Error: userdb(user1(a)mail.example) didn't return a home directory Error: userdb(user2(a)mail.example) didn't return a home directory Indeed, running this command produces: ------------------------- $ sudo /usr/sbin/dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/lib/dovecot/expire-tool --test Error: userdb(user1(a)mail.example) didn't return a home directory Info: User lookup failed: user1(a)mail.example Error: userdb(user2(a)mail.example) didn't return a home directory Info: User lookup failed: user2(a)mail.example ------------------------- Yet these mailboxes are valid, corresponding users can login, send and receive mail. Other mailboxes are OK, too. Where to to start looking? I found that similar error message with v1.1.6 is fixed in v1.1.7, but I am running v.1.1.7 already. Please see dovecot configuration attached. Thank you for your time, Ivars

[Dovecot] checkpassword auth issues
by Tim Traver 19 Jan '09

19 Jan '09

Hi, ok, I'm am developing a new solution that includes dovecot, and will be wanting to use the latest sieve implementation, so I have chosen to start with 1.2 as the base. I had a working install of 1.1.8 installed, and got a checkpassword setup working properly with it to authenticate a user. I used the passdb to call checkpassword, and the prefetch userdb to tell it to use the values that I sent back from the checkpassword script... I compiled and installed 1.2.alpha5, and now my checkpassword does not seem to be working, and I can't figure out why. If I go back and install 1.1.8, it all works again... here is the dovecot -n : [root@mta3 /local/logs]# dovecot -n # 1.2.alpha5: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf # OS: FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE i386 log_path: /local/logs/dovecot.errors protocols: imap imaps pop3 pop3s 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 verbose_proctitle: yes first_valid_uid: 100 mail_uid: 100 mail_gid: 100 mail_location: maildir:%h/Maildir mail_debug: yes mmap_disable: yes mail_nfs_storage: yes mail_nfs_index: 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_client_workarounds(default): pop3_client_workarounds(imap): pop3_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh auth default: username_translation: %@ username_format: %Lu verbose: yes debug: yes debug_passwords: yes passdb: driver: checkpassword args: /bin/checkpassword userdb: driver: prefetch and here is a snip of the logs that I get when trying to log in : dovecot: Jan 19 11:37:47 Info: auth(default): client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=imap secured lip=209.132.1.203 rip=209.132.9.162 lport=993 rport=1053 dovecot: Jan 19 11:37:47 Info: auth(default): client out: CONT 1 dovecot: Jan 19 11:37:47 Info: auth(default): client in: CONT 1 AHRpbUBtdGEzLnNjYWxlZHN5c3RlbXMuY29tAENvbGRTdW4x dovecot: Jan 19 11:37:47 Info: auth(default): checkpassword(tim(a)mta3.scaledsystems.com,209.132.9.162): execute: /bin/checkpassword /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/checkpassword-reply dovecot: Jan 19 11:37:47 Info: auth(default): checkpassword(tim(a)mta3.scaledsystems.com,209.132.9.162): Received input: user=tim(a)mta3.scaledsystems.com userdb_home=/home/mailboxes/data/30/tim(a)mta3.scaledsystems.com userdb_uid=100 userdb_gid=100 dovecot: Jan 19 11:37:47 Info: auth(default): checkpassword(tim(a)mta3.scaledsystems.com,209.132.9.162): Received no input dovecot: Jan 19 11:37:47 Info: auth(default): checkpassword(tim(a)mta3.scaledsystems.com,209.132.9.162): exit_status=2 dovecot: Jan 19 11:37:47 Error: auth(default): checkpassword(tim(a)mta3.scaledsystems.com,209.132.9.162): Child 43345 exited with status 2 As you can see, the checkpassword routine is indeed sending outthe userdb_home variable as well as the other necessary variables.

I currently exit the checkpassword script with _exit(0); to make the status 0 when it is successful, and I also set the AUTHORIZED environment variable to "2" as told... wierd thing is that it works in 1.1.8, but not in 1.2 Thanks, Tim.

[Dovecot] Reject message if user is over quota. 2/3 solution for Postfix w/ PostgreSQL
by Pascal Volk 19 Jan '09

19 Jan '09

Hi, according to the both discussions in the last few days I've tried to find a solution for Postfix with a PostgreSQL back-end. Its working nice for regular recipient addresses like user(a)example.com and addresses with an extension like user+foo(a)example.com. Alias addresses are currently ignored. * An alias may expand into multiple destinations. If one of this destinations is over quota Postfix will expose the destination address from the alias * An alias address may point to an external destination. * Aliases, with just one internal destination maybe simple to expand (homework ;-)) Maybe someone of you would provide ideas for handling alias addresses. The procedure is designed for global quota settings. If one of you is using quota settings per user, you have to modify the procedure. Integrating in main.cf: smtpd_recipient_restrictions = ... reject_unlisted_recipient check_recipient_access pgsql:/etc/postfix/virtual_global_quota_check.cf ... virtual_global_quota_check.cf: # The hosts that Postfix will try to connect to hosts = localhost # The user name and password to log into the pgsql server. user = $Your_Postfix_database_user password = $PASSWORD # The database name on the servers. dbname = mailsys # The query query = SELECT postfix_global_quota_check('%u', '%d', 10485760, 1000) # quota limit in bytes ----------------------------^ # quota limit in messages -----------------------------------^ SQL: CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION postfix_global_quota_check( IN localpart varchar, IN the_domain varchar, IN q_stor bigint, IN q_msgs bigint) RETURNS TEXT AS $$ DECLARE result text := 'DUNNO'; -- remove extenstion from localpart (user+foo -> user) lpart varchar := (SELECT regexp_replace(localpart, E'\\+.*$', '')); -- XXX how to handle alias addresses? -- stop here if the destination is an external address -- how to handle aliases with multiple destinations??? address varchar := lpart||'@'||the_domain; storage bigint := (SELECT current FROM quota WHERE username = address AND path = 'quota/storage'); messages bigint := (SELECT current FROM quota WHERE username = address AND path = 'quota/messages'); BEGIN --RAISE NOTICE 'users storage: % bytes', storage; --RAISE NOTICE 'users message count: %', messages; IF storage >= q_stor THEN result := '552 5.2.2 Quota exceeded (mailbox for user is full)'; ELSE IF messages >= q_msgs THEN result := '552 5.2.2 Quota exceeded (mailbox for user is full)'; END IF; END IF; RETURN result; END; $$ LANGUAGE plpgsql STABLE RETURNS NULL ON NULL INPUT EXTERNAL SECURITY INVOKER; GRANT SELECT ON quota TO $Your_Postfix_database_user; Regards, Pascal -- Ubuntu is an ancient African word meaning “I can’t install Debian.” -- unknown

[Dovecot] Autocreate plugin
by Proskurin Kirill 19 Jan '09

19 Jan '09

Hello. I found what if you have a something like this: autocreate = Trash autocreate2 = Sent autocreate3 = Spam *Then I delete autocreate2 string* and... autocreate3 will not work. If I add autocreate2 - all work well. Yes it is seems to be right what they all must go after each otherm but if i have a 20 or 30 autocreate folders and i want to delete autocreate2 for example - all other from 3-20 will not work. For me it is seems like a bug. I think better to remove numbers from this plugin at all. -- Best regards, Proskurin Kirill

[Dovecot] autocreate "bug" with 1.2 solved
by Robert Schetterer 19 Jan '09

19 Jan '09

Hi Timo i found "the bug" with autocreate in dovecot 1.2 last weeks i tested a lot with namespaces i finally declared shared namespace before private namespace in dovecot.conf by doing a lot of copy paste namespace test variants getting autocreate to work i finally copied my private namespace declaration above the shared namespace in dovecot.conf and now its working. So it simple autocreate parses the dovecot.conf from begin and uses the first namespace found in dovecot.conf , if that namespace doesnt match its going do log namespace not found in the log and stop working so its by design ,not really a bug , but it should dokumented elsewhere if you wont fix that behavior in the future -- Best Regards MfG Robert Schetterer Germany/Munich/Bavaria

[Dovecot] Default mbox file ownership and permissions with static userdb

Hi there! I'm using Dovecot 1.1.7 in a simple setup with a static userdb: userdb: driver: static args: uid=50018 gid=50019 home=/home/dovemail When my users create folders via IMAP, the ownership of the mbox file is user dovemail, group dovemail, and permissions are 600. I'd like this to change to user dovemail, group doveusers, permissions 660, but I can't figure out a way to do it. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance. -- Cheers, Christian

[Dovecot] Possible Bug segnalation
by Claudio Prono 18 Jan '09

18 Jan '09

Hi to all, Today i have manually copied at least 250 mail from a mailbox to another and i have encountered some problems with dovecot. When finished to download all the messages, via pop3, at the next check mail dovecot give me that error: dovecot: Jan 15 10:59:55 Info: POP3(michele(a)domain.net): Mailbox init failed top=0/0, retr=0/0, del=0/29, size=932800 Then, the messages from the pop server was deleted, to the client an error was given but no mail downloaded.

[Dovecot] Trouble with %d in args of passwd-file
by Nathan Hüsken 18 Jan '09

18 Jan '09

Hello, I am trying to configure my dovecot folowing this guide: http://www.w3style.co.uk/virtual-domains-with-exim-and-dovecot I append the output of dovecot -n below. I created /etc/vmail/my-domain.de/user containing: test-user:{PLAIN}test:1002:100::/home/test-user:: No I try to login: telnet 127.0.0.1 143 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to 127.0.0.1. Escape character is '^]'. * OK This is Dovecot, and it is ready. a01 LOGIN test-user(a)my-domain.de test a01 NO Authentication failed. It does not work! But when I change the "%d" to my-domain.de, and login without the domain, it works! What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

[Dovecot] 1.1.9 release candidate
by Timo Sirainen 18 Jan '09

18 Jan '09

http://dovecot.org/tmp/dovecot-1.1.9.rc.tar.gz There are a couple of a bit larger changes, so would be nice if a few people tested this on different setups before I released the final v1.1.9. Changes since v1.1.8: + deliver: Added rejection_subject setting, which is used for rejected mails. + pop3: Prevent clients from looping forever trying to fetch an expunged message. + If login process crashes, log the IP address that (maybe) caused it. + If core dump limit is 0, add "core dumps disabled" to startup log line. - mbox: Fixed assert-crash with pop3_lock_session=yes - dbox: Fixes to handling maildir-converted files. - Auth cache wasn't working correctly for all fields (e.g. allow_nets) with blocking passdbs (e.g. mysql). - pgsql: Handle reconnecting to server without failing auth lookups. - Berkeley DB memory/resource leak fixes. - maildir: Fixes to handling over 26 keywords.

Ah, ok. I think blackberry is an exception here. But actually you can disable IDLE by changing imap_capability setting manually. Set it to the default CAPABILITY reply you get from Dovecot, just remove IDLE.

[Dovecot] Patch to deliver
by Allan Cassaro 16 Jan '09

Hi Timo! I wrote a little patch to add the capability of the deliver to customize the "subject" of the rejection messages. Now is possibly to translate the body and subject! In dovecot.conf: rejection_reason_subject = Automatically rejected mail to %t rejection_reason = Your message to <%t> was automatically rejected:%n%r Please, review the patch! :D

[Dovecot] Enforcing STARTTLS for all mechs while disabling imaps
by Durk Strooisma 16 Jan '09

16 Jan '09

Hi all, Is there a way to enforce STARTTLS for all connections, regardless their authentication mechanism? disable_plaintext_auth only takes care of the auth conversation, but I would like to have all communication encrypted. As far as I can see, this would only be possible when using imaps and disabling imap. However, I would like to have the other way around; disabling imaps and using imap for all communication (with enforced STARTTLS). Am I missing something? Durk

[Dovecot] [dovecot] INDEX variable and mbox_snarf plugin
by Jonathan Siegle 16 Jan '09

16 Jan '09

Is there a way to tell the dovecot mbox_snarf plugin to use an alternate location for the index/cache files? It doesn't seem to want to use the INDEX variable. I'm guessing the answer is no because of all the ties in lib-storage/index/mbox/*c to the directory where the file(that is the inbox) lives. The filesystem where I keep the inbox file doesn't have a directory for the user to own. The user only owns the mbox file. Thanks, Jonathan

[Dovecot] Fatal: Plugin sieve_plugin not found from directory
by John Morris 15 Jan '09

15 Jan '09

Hi list, Enabling plugins returns fatal errors like the following: Jan 16 00:28:11 norman dovecot: deliver(jman(a)zultron.com): Fatal: Plugin sieve_plugin not found from directory /usr/lib64/dovecot/lda Same errors for loading plugins in the "protocol imap" section of dovecot.conf (tested trash_plugin), same errors for loading other plugins (tested virtual_plugin), same errors for different spellings of "mail_plugins" (lib90_sieve_plugin.so, sieve_plugin.so, sieve_plugin). The directory must be correct, because if lib90_sieve_plugin.so is copied to sieve_plugin.so: Jan 16 00:33:16 norman dovecot: deliver(jman(a)zultron.com): Fatal: Multiple files for module sieve_plugin: /usr/lib64/dovecot/lda/lib90_sieve_plugin.so, /usr/lib64/dovecot/lda/sieve_plugin.so Invoking the deliver process with strace showed /usr/lib64/dovecot/lda being opened, fstated, and getdents returned the expected results, including {d_ino=67593, d_off=608760247, d_reclen=40, d_name="lib90_sieve_plugin.so"} After this, the plugin (nor any other file, aside from /etc/localtime) was not opened, the above error was sent, and deliver exited. The RPM was recompiled for CentOS 5.1 from an ArkLinux Dovecot 1.2 SRPM; the specfile appears to be of the same lineage as the Rawhide Dovecot 1.1 SRPM, and it's quite straightforward. I did add the ManageSieve patch to it, and otherwise no noteworthy changes. Others on the list who had this problem usually suffered from misspellings in mail_plugins or incorrect mail_plugin_dir; the "multiple files" error seems to eliminate this as a possibility. One other fellow had this problem, and fixed it with a recompile; however, since this is an SRPM, there's not much room for random changes in the process, and recompiling didn't fix the problem. Without dovecot plugins enabled, dovecot and deliver are working well in a postfix/LDAP/virtual domains configuration. Below is the dovecot -n output.

[Dovecot] get username of logged in user
by Stefan Jurisch 15 Jan '09

15 Jan '09

Hello, can I anywhere get the name of the currently logged in user? I'm still implementing a custom ACL plugin (IMAP commands MYRIGHTS, GETACL, SETACL, DELETEACL), and for some functions (for example storing the current folder's ACL in combination with this username) I need to obtain the currently logged in IMAP user. Is this possible? If yes - how? Thanks in advance.

[Dovecot] ImapTest Wiki
by Justin Krejci 14 Jan '09

14 Jan '09

On this page http://imapwiki.org/ImapTest/Running It gives command line parameters to define. One of them is "password=pass" but this resulted in an "Unknown arg" response for me on a fresh install. I then looked at some examples and they give the argument as "pass=pass" which works for me. Was the argument name changed recently or something?

[Dovecot] Personal dovecot
by Andrzej Adam Filip 14 Jan '09

14 Jan '09

Do you think it wold be worthwhile to add command line options to "deliver" and "imap" to make them ignore "system wide" configuration file and use ~/.dovecotrc instead? I would like to use "imap via fetchmail ssh plugin" and "deliver via ~/.forward (to get sieve support)". Such options would allow "cleaner" configuration. -- [pl>en: Andrew] Andrzej Adam Filip : anfi(a)onet.eu : anfi(a)xl.wp.pl Nice boy, but about as sharp as a sack of wet mice. -- Foghorn Leghorn

[Dovecot] ldap performance?
by Jan-Frode Myklebust 14 Jan '09

14 Jan '09

We're looking at replacing our mysql auth and userdb, with a set of Red Hat Directory servers, and I see dovecot supports either authentication binds, or "password lookups": http://wiki.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/LDAP I'm curious if anybody can give any insight as to what kind of performance to expect from authentication binds ? How many POP3s/second should we expect from it ? Our directory servers will be 2 blades with 4 cores of 2GHz each, and we expect to keep the full directory in memory on both servers. -jf

[Dovecot] Apple patch 9
by Mike Abbott 14 Jan '09

14 Jan '09

Patch #9 adds support for Open Directory and an encrypted SSL keystore. Notes about this patch: It adds --enable-apple and --with-od options to configure (after running autoconf). It depends on patch #7 (hash_table_create/destroy). Automake wipes out this patch's changes to Makefile.in. The - framework options should come from Makefile.am but the author didn't do that. It uses a tab-stops-every-4 indentation style. It may compile and run only on Mac OS X 10.6, currently available via Apple Developer Connection. This code is stable but Apple is still verifying its robustness. This is the patch that needs the user name as extra_fields[0] in deliver, to handle user name aliases. More patches to come, probably after the holidays.

[Dovecot] Maildir++ quota: When is it recalculated?
by Ulrich Zehl 14 Jan '09

14 Jan '09

We use Maildir++ quota, with the rules taken from our LDAP backend. We also have an old expunge script that's not quota-aware; it removes old messages from the maildir by simply deleting the files. Sometimes, a mailbox is over quota before the script runs, but well under quota after the old messages are deleted. This change does not seem to be picked up, however: When I try to deliver a new message (using Dovecot's deliver), the attempt fails with an "over quota" error. I tried finding out from the source code whether this is intended behavior, but unfortunately, I'm not enough of a programmer, so I have to ask here: Should I be able to delete mails from a maildir, and expect the quota plugin to notice the change? We use Dovecot 1.1.8, by the way. Ulrich

[Dovecot] Maildir loses keywords in index beyond 26
by George Greer 14 Jan '09

14 Jan '09

(NOTE: I am not on the mailing list so please Cc: me.) dovecot-1.1.6-2.fc10.i386 (configuration not changed from stock) Fedora 10 AMD Athlon XP ext3 Maildir format doesn't store keywords in the index properly -- it goes up to 26 and then further keywords are dropped. I ran the tests with a simple script that feeds the lines from "commands" to Dovecot one at a time and waits for the "OK" before the next one. The IMAP command file is attached, as well as output of dovecot, idxview, and logview running against both mbox and maildir formats. Test mailbox created with: for i in `seq -f %02g 0 99`; do echo "Test message #$i" | mail -s "Test message #$i" sandbox@localhost; sleep 1; done For the maildir test I used the conversion script: Step 2: su sandbox -c 'perl /usr/share/doc/dovecot-1.1.6/UW-to-Dovecot-Migration/perfect_maildir.pl ~/Maildir < /var/spool/mail/sandbox' # 1.1.6: /etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.25.6-55.fc9.i686 i686 Fedora release 10 (Cambridge) login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login mail_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd -- George Greer

[Dovecot] linuxconf migration story
by Thanos Chatziathanassiou 14 Jan '09

14 Jan '09

Hi, just subscribed after successfully (?) migrating from a somewhat old linuxconf/vimap config. dovecot-1.1.7, x86 A few issues: The index files seem to be created with the wrong permissions. I get numerous ``Dec 24 15:36:29 mail dovecot: POP3(user@domain): stat(/var/run/dovecot/imap-index/domain/user/.imap/INBOX) failed: Permission denied (euid=60107 egid=231 missing +x perm: /var/run/dovecot/imap-index/domain)'' errors. the directory /var/run/dovecot/imap-index is drwxrwxrwt 29 dovecot dovecot 4.0k Dec 24 15:57 imap-index but the directories inside it are created as drwx------ 15 60107 popusers 4.0k Dec 24 15:50 domain Questions: - Why is POP3 interested in the imap indices ? - IMAP clients do not complain all that much, as far as I can see, but what happens to POP3 ? - Is there something to configure to get rid of this ? Also, I have written a somewhat sloppy patch to determine the domain from the server's IP. That way it is not necessary to persuade all users to switch to logging in as ``user@domain'' (which I've tried with very limited success). Would this be the correct place to post the patch and discuss ? Best Regards, Thanos Chatziathanassiou

[Dovecot] Apple patch 10
by Mike Abbott 13 Jan '09

13 Jan '09

Patch #10 allows the pop3 and imap mail processes to handle multiple clients. We know this weakens the security model but it greatly increases scalability especially when clients are idle. Here's how it works. When there are no mail processes, or none serving fewer than mail_max_connections clients, the master creates a new mail process pretty much like it does now, but with some new environment variables (PERSISTENT_MAIL_PROCESS and CONNECTION_ID, and ADVISE_SET[GU]ID instead of RESTRICT_SET[GU]ID) and a unix-domain socket connection back to the master. For future clients the master sends the client socket and a full dump of the environment via that connection. Persistent mail processes multiplex I/O for their connected clients and switch the whole environment and the effective user ID, group ID, and supplemental groups each time. The result is that most of dovecot's code and assumptions remain unchanged: the mail process executes imap/pop commands with the permissions of the user and with nearly the same environment so getenv() still works as expected. Some assumptions do change, for instance global state variables like last_partial and quota_set are forbidden, and must be stored per-client or per-user. Also it's no longer OK just to exit or panic on error, for that disconnects multiple users not just one. Some key entry points in the patch are create_mail_process() in mail- process.c and io_env_switch() in ioloop.c. Notes about this patch: - The base for this patch is dovecot-1.1.7 + Apple patch 9, not because this patch needs Open Directory but simply because it adds one line to the Apple attributions in COPYING. - This patch depends on Apple patch 7 (hash_table_create/destroy). - This patch introduces the following new config options for the pop3 and imap protocols: - mail_process_per_connection = yes - mail_max_connections = 20 The default value of mail_process_per_connection (yes) preserves the current secure model. Changing it to no allows multiplexing, with up to mail_max_connections simultaneous clients per process. See dovecot- example.conf for more info. - It restricts the mail_executable config option to minimize unpleasant surprises. When mail_process_per_connection = no the communication protocol between the master process and the mail processes changes as described above. A naive third-party mail_executable might break. See dovecot-example.conf for more info. - Some changes are intentionally awkward in order to minimize code deltas to simplify merges (of new dovecot releases into our source tree). These are so marked. Feel free to clean them up. - Changes tagged with "APPLE" are ours, including the whole new directory mail-common. All the untagged changes, including the entire contents of the new files mail-user.[ch], are copied straight from dovecot-1.2 (alpha3, I believe). We needed dovecot-1.2's support for multiple users in order to handle quotas correctly, and we needed it in 1.1. Specifically, we copied these changes from dovecot-1.2 (and a couple others too I think): 8082 http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.2/rev/db66611fd195 Added struct mail_user and fixed the code to support multiple users per process. 8084 http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.2/rev/f12f8c1da0bf Forgot to add mail-user.* files in previous struct mail_user commit. 8085 http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.2/rev/bf83aa9c3f4a Removed pool parameter from mail_namespaces_init*(). Use mail_user's pool intead. 8091 http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.2/rev/ceca59aaae89 quota-fs: compile fix for previous changes. 8096 http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.2/rev/f35a8a3dc06d Fixed FS quota compiling and Maildir++ quota with multiple users. 8109 http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.2/rev/e7929190cd32 fts-solr: Fixed compiling with recent struct mail_user changes. 8137 http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.2/rev/b2a258213ee0 Created mail_user_[try_]home_expand(). Used them for expanding mail directories. 8294 http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.2/rev/8aa69e3d27ef Trash plugin: Assign storage to all mailboxes at startup so errors are caught immediately. Also previous optimization change broke trash plugin when using multiple mail_users. This change fixes it to work again. If a change in the patch is not marked somehow with APPLE then it comes from dovecot-1.2. - Some other data structures also needed to be made per-client/user, for instance last_partial from imap-fetch-body.c, quota_set from quota- plugin.c, and process_primary_gid etc. from restrict-access.c. - Sending the master process SIGINFO (on platforms that support that signal) makes it print its view of all the clients connected to all the mail processes. Sending SIGINFO to an individual mail process makes it print its view. These are not necessarily always the same. For instance, on a config reload (SIGHUP), the master disconnects from the mail processes but leaves them running. The output is admittedly kinda geeky. - The logging tag for a persistent mail process is just "*" instead of the user name, since a process can serve multiple users. Some individual messages (such as connect/disconnect) identify the user. - The expire plugin uses global state variables which are incompatible with persistent mail processes. The patch detects trouble but does not fix it because we don't need it. We leave that as an exercise for you :). - The dict client interface is blocking which is unfortunate for persistent mail processes. The patch does not address this, since the delay is probably small and we don't use it anyway. - Some of the accounting is gnarly because of the need to honor mail_max_userip_connections in a world where a single user can have any number of active connections on any number of mail processes. Finally, here's the patch.

Re: [Dovecot] Can not Create Maildir using userdb

Thank you for your reply. So, you mean that both user_query and password_query should have the same amount of parameter and the mail parameter from user_query should have the exact parameter as userdb_mail from password_query?

[Dovecot] Dovecot suggestions for new installation
by Michael Durket 13 Jan '09

13 Jan '09

I've been testing Dovecot for a while now and am preparing to replace our outdated IMAP system with it. The current system serves about 300 email users who run a mixture of clients (Eudora, Apple Mail, Thunderbird and Outlook). Can any of the many experts on this list answer a few questions: 1) What's the latest stable release of Dovecot I should be running on this new system (Dovecot will be running on a RedHat Linux AS 4 64 bit system with plenty of memory and CPU). I've been running 1.13 on my test system but I see that 1.18 just came out (although I don't know if I should switch to it immediately. 2) What configuration file options (if any) should I turn on to best handle the range of email clients listed above? 3) Are there any "sizing" options I need to worry about setting for the number of email users I have (I suspect that 300 users is considered a rather small mail system but I want to minimize its resource usage as much as possible while still giving decent performance from Dovecot). And, just out of curiosity, I'm looking into the idea of switching users from mbox format over to Maildir format on this system (it will use all locally- connected disks and have no NFS mounts). Does the Dovecot automatic migration program to migrate from mbox to Maildir work well or are there "gotchas"? Thanks.

[Dovecot] [checkpassword] I can't get a password from fd3
by Durk Strooisma 13 Jan '09

13 Jan '09

Hi all, I'm trying to implement checkpassword authentication with a simple bash script. In some way I can't get the password from file descriptor 3. The start of script looks like this: #!/bin/bash read -d '\0' -r -u 3 USERNAME="${REPLY}" read -d '\0' -r -u 3 PASSWORD="${REPLY}" if [ -z "${USERNAME}" ] || [ -z "${PASSWORD}" ] then exit 111 fi It always exits with 111, because PASSWORD is empty. In whatever way I try to retrieve data from fd3, I never happen to get more data than the username. Is this a known problem? Am I doing something silly? Replies are much appreciated! Durk FYI: GSSAPI auth works perfect and PAM worked before switching to checkpassword too.

[Dovecot] Dovecot, pop3, mBox
by Matej Golob 12 Jan '09

12 Jan '09

I have to migrate some old system to new one with installed dovecot (It's my first time using dovecot). I have all mails inside /var/spool/mail folder (mbox files). I can connect and receive mails via POP3, but problem is that dovecot doesn't clear mbox file (everytime when I make send/receive in mailclient program I get all mails again). If I look into log file I see (when I do send/receive in mail client program) Jan 11 21:09:12 ns1 dovecot: POP3(matej): Disconnected: Logged out top=0/0, retr=5/23934, del=5/5, size=23848 Here is output of dovecot -n # 1.1.6: /etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.27-desktop-0.rc8.2mnb i686 Mandriva Linux release 2009.0 (Official) for i586 protocols: imap imaps pop3 pop3s ssl_cert_file: /etc/pki/tls/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key_file: /etc/pki/tls/private/dovecot.pem disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-login mail_location: mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u mail_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/pop3 pop3_uidl_format(default): %08Xu%08Xv pop3_uidl_format(imap): %08Xu%08Xv pop3_uidl_format(pop3): %08Xv%08Xu auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd Thanks for help.

[Dovecot] Can not Create Maildir using userdb sql
by Henry Yonathan 12 Jan '09

12 Jan '09

Dear all, I've been experiencing this problem and still can't find a solution for this. I want to have a dynamic quota for each virtual user. I've followed instruction from : http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/DovecotLDAPostfixAdminMySQL http://workaround.org/articles/ispmail-etch/ But still can't give what I want. But if I use userdb static, I works fluently. Below are my Dovecot configuration : # 1.0.15: /etc/dovecot.conf base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/ protocols: imap pop3 ssl_disable: yes disable_plaintext_auth: 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(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: maildir:/home/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir mail_debug: yes mail_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugins(default): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(imap): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(pop3): quota mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 pop3_uidl_format(default): pop3_uidl_format(imap): pop3_uidl_format(pop3): %08Xu%08Xv namespace: type: private separator: . prefix: INBOX. inbox: yes auth default: mechanisms: plain login verbose: yes debug: yes passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot-sql.conf socket: type: listen client: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-client mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 user: vmail plugin: quota: maildir:storage=5120 --------------------------------------------------------- Below are my dovecot error log deliver(harry(a)zlack.net): Nov 19 13:51:27 Info: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/lda deliver(harry(a)zlack.net): Nov 19 13:51:27 Info: Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/lda/lib10_quota_plugin.so deliver(harry(a)zlack.net): Nov 19 13:51:27 Info: auth input: harry(a)zlack.net deliver(harry(a)zlack.net): Nov 19 13:51:27 Info: auth input: home=/home/vmail/zlack.net/harry deliver(harry(a)zlack.net): Nov 19 13:51:27 Info: auth input: mail=/home/vmail/zlack.net/harry/Maildir deliver(harry(a)zlack.net): Nov 19 13:51:27 Info: auth input: uid=5000 deliver(harry(a)zlack.net): Nov 19 13:51:27 Info: auth input: gid=5000 deliver(harry(a)zlack.net): Nov 19 13:51:27 Info: auth input: quota=maildir:storage=10240 deliver(harry(a)zlack.net): Nov 19 13:51:27 Info: Home dir not found: /home/vmail/zlack.net/harry deliver(harry(a)zlack.net): Nov 19 13:51:27 Info: maildir autodetect: stat(/home/vmail/zlack.net/harry/Maildir/cur) failed: No such file or directory deliver(harry(a)zlack.net): Nov 19 13:51:27 Info: mbox autodetect: data=/home/vmail/zlack.net/harry/Maildir deliver(harry(a)zlack.net): Nov 19 13:51:27 Info: mbox autodetect: INBOX file: stat(/home/vmail/zlack.net/harry/Maildir) failed: No such file or directory deliver(harry(a)zlack.net): Nov 19 13:51:27 Info: mbox autodetect: has .imap/: stat(/home/vmail/zlack.net/harry/Maildir/.imap) failed: No such file or directory deliver(harry(a)zlack.net): Nov 19 13:51:27 Info: mbox autodetect: has inbox: stat(/home/vmail/zlack.net/harry/Maildir/inbox) failed: No such file or directory deliver(harry(a)zlack.net): Nov 19 13:51:27 Info: mbox autodetect: has mbox: stat(/home/vmail/zlack.net/harry/Maildir/mbox) failed: No such file or directory deliver(harry(a)zlack.net): Nov 19 13:51:27 Error: Ambiguous mail location setting, don't know what to do with it: /home/vmail/zlack.net/harry/Maildir (try prefixing it with mbox: or maildir:) deliver(harry(a)zlack.net): Nov 19 13:51:27 Fatal: Failed to create storage for 'harry(a)zlack.net' with mail '/home/vmail/zlack.net/harry/Maildir' Kind Regards, Henry Yonathan "All successful communication is Hypnosis" - Milton H.

[Dovecot] Deliver *sometimes* delivers via /tmp?
by Kim Bisgaard 12 Jan '09

12 Jan '09

Hi, I'm running dovecot (1.1.7) deliver and sieve (1.1.5) on a Fedora 9 platform, using selinux targetet mode. Most of the mail deliveries goes well, but once deliver tried to copy the mail to the /tmp directory, which it seems it not allowed by selinux. I guess that deliver wants to sanitize the mail or something and therefore copies it to /tmp. Before I ask for selinux to allow this, I would like to know why? It could also be an error, leading deliver into a seldom used piece of code? I order to get the mail delivered I put selinux into permissive mode, using: semanage permissive -a dovecot_deliver_t And then the mail is delivered - below are excerpts from different logs and I have *NOT* attached the message which could not get delivered - because of its size.

[Dovecot] 1.1.6 -> 1.1.7 regression: dovecot: pipe() failed: Too many open files
by Mark Zealey 12 Jan '09

12 Jan '09

Hi all, We updated to 1.1.7 a week or two back from 1.1.6 (both standard atrpms builds). Since doing so, twice now I've seen the imap services accept connections but they hang before the banner is printed (pop seems to be unaffected). I see this in the logs: Dec 23 14:02:15 mail9 dovecot: pipe() failed: Too many open files Dec 23 14:02:15 mail9 dovecot: Temporary failure in creating login processes, slowing down for now Dec 23 14:02:15 mail9 dovecot: Created login processes successfully, unstalling Dec 23 14:02:16 mail9 dovecot: pipe() failed: Too many open files Dec 23 14:02:16 mail9 dovecot: Temporary failure in creating login processes, slowing down for now Dec 23 14:02:16 mail9 dovecot: Created login processes successfully, unstalling The ulimit for the number of open files on these servers has remained unchanged at 8192 and there are no warnings about too few fd's on dovecot startup. There weren't amazing numbers of imap sessions open at the time (only something like 400-500; we've had 1.5k in the past), so I suspect this is a regression between 1.1.6 and 1.1.7 where you've got a leak of fd's ? If it happens again I'll try and get a snapshot of the fd's open by the master dovecot process.

[Dovecot] Bash script to mark all mail read in Maildir + Dovecot
by Andrew Oakley 12 Jan '09

12 Jan '09

Hi, I'm writing a script to mark all new mail read, including all mail in folders, for my system which uses Maildir and Dovecot. The reason for this script is that I use Google Mail at work, which forwards to my SMTP/IMAP system at home. When I've finished my last check of GMail at work, I want to be able to quickly mark all mail as read at home too. Basically this script moves everything from all /new/ directories to /cur/ directories and appends :2,S ("Seen" info status) to the filename. It seems to work, but I'm relatively new to IMAP and Maildir. Can anyone spot any potential problems? Thanks. ----cut here--- #!/bin/bash # markallread by Andrew Oakley www.aoakley.com Public Domain 2009-01-09 # A script to mark all MAILDIR mail as read, including folders # Assumes Dovecot folder naming dot prefix eg. ~/.maildir/.foldername # Loop through ~/.maildir/.foldername/new/ directories # This also does the ~/.maildir Inbox since it matches ~/.maildir/./new/ for i in `ls -1 ~/.maildir/.*/new/*` do # Replace /new/ with /cur/ # Also add status "seen" to message by appending :2,S to filename # as per http://cr.yp.to/proto/maildir.html mv $i `echo $i | sed -r "s/^(.*)\/new\/(.*)$/\1\/cur\/\2:2,S/"` done ----end cut here--- -- Andrew Oakley andrew(a)aoakley.com

[Dovecot] new flags in Maildir files
by Giuliano Gavazzi 11 Jan '09

11 Jan '09

Sorry if this is a dumb question: I migrated my third system from courier to dovecot. My previous two were MacOSX the third is FreeBSD 6. I noticed (because of an rsync process taking longer than usual...) that on FreeBSD the message files have, most of them at least, gained extra suffix letters (in the range a-h I'd say) that I do not see (mostly if not at all) on my MacOS systems. I wonder if this is because of a different migration process, as in the first two cases I wrongly run courier-dovecot-migrate.pl without the --convert option as I was satisfied that the OK result for all Mailboxes was enough... (no pop here), while on FreeBSD I correctly applied the --convert option. The other difference is the version, 1.1.6 for MacOSX, 1.1.7 for FreeBSD. Cannot find a relevant entryin the ChangeLog. (now running rsync with the --fuzzy option, hopefully it will find the files cutting on transfer times!) Thanks Giuliano

[Dovecot] download IMAP folders via POP3
by Jakob Grießmann 11 Jan '09

11 Jan '09

Hi, I know my question might sound a little bit strange, but is it possible to download IMAP folders via POP3? I have clients who use POP3 on their main machines and IMAP on their "on the road" notebooks. It would be good to download all folders created on the notebook via POP3 to the main desktop. Googling brought up some results, but I don't know how to implement... Thanks Jakob

[Dovecot] DC testing observation and a question
by Stewart Dean 10 Jan '09

10 Jan '09

I have been running a test DC IMAP server to evaluate the new release before migrating from 1.0.15 to 1.1.8. The test server access all the INBOX and homedir folder filesystems through NFS imports. The index file filesystem is local on both the production server and the test one.. This is messy in that when I ask some one tests using the test sever, the index has to be created or re-gennned, since the local index either doesn't exist or is several months old (from the last time a prospective upgrade was tested) and thus doesn't reflect data on the production DC IMAP server. 1) Watching the syslog maillog has been intriguing...different IMAP client show widely differently use patterns. a) Users running TBird and Seamonkey have 2-5 imap sessions (ps -aef | grep <userid>) *but* very little syslog activity...sparse occasional logins and disconnects b) Users running Exchange have only 1 imap sessions *but* every 5 minutes will generate login and disconnect messages (in and out in the space of a second) for each folders. So for a user with 22 folders, there will be 44 syslog messages in the maillog every 5 minutes. Just curious....any thought as to which is more efficient and by how much? 2) When I try to switch a MacMail client over, it sees the new mail, but not the old mail in the INBOX. How do I force re-indexing on the test server? -- ==== Once upon a time, the Internet was a friendly, neighbors-helping-neighbors small town, and no one locked their doors. Now it's like an apartment in Bed-Stuy: you need three heavy duty pick-proof locks, one of those braces that goes from the lock to the floor, and bars on the windows.... ==== Stewart Dean, Unix System Admin, Bard College, New York 12504 sdean(a)bard.edu voice: 845-758-7475, fax: 845-758-7035

[Dovecot] TLS timeout with 1.2a4
by Luigi Rosa 09 Jan '09

09 Jan '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have a mail server CentOS 64bit (4 Gb RAM) with Dovecot 1.2a4 and three accounts. I use Thunderbird 2. If I enable SSL connection in Thunderbird 2, after three-five minutes I got a lot of different errors in Thunderbird (Server is not IMAP, Connection lost...). Everything comes back to normal if I restart Dovecot in the server, but after 5 minutes I got the same errors. This happens both with an ADSL connection (Thunderbird on Windows XP) AND with a direct 1 Gbit cross cable connection (Thunderbird on Ubuntu 64 8.10). If I disable SSL connection on Thunderbird, everything comes back to normal and I don't get any error. The SSL-related options in dovecot.conf are: ssl_disable = no ssl_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key_file = /etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem ssl_parameters_regenerate = 47 verbose_ssl = yes ssl_cipher_list = ALL:!LOW disable_plaintext_auth = no What kind of logging can I enable to trace this error? On the logfile I find something like taht (there are only 3 seconds between the first and the last line) dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<lists(a)aaa.com>, method=CRAM-MD5, rip=xxx, lip=yyy, TLS dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<lists(a)aaa.com>, method=CRAM-MD5, rip=xxx, lip=yyy, TLS dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Shutting down (auth failed, 1 attempts): method=CRAM-MD5, rip=xxx, lip=yyy, TLS dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Shutting down (no auth attempts): rip=xxx, lip=yyy, TLS dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Shutting down (no auth attempts): rip=xxx, lip=yyy, TLS handshaking dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Shutting down (no auth attempts): rip=xxx, lip=yyy, TLS dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Shutting down (no auth attempts): rip=xxx, lip=yyy, TLS dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Shutting down (no auth attempts): rip=xxx, lip=yyy, TLS dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Shutting down (auth failed, 1 attempts): method=CRAM-MD5, rip=xxx, lip=yyy, TLS dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Shutting down (no auth attempts): rip=xxx, lip=yyy, TLS handshaking dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Shutting down (no auth attempts): rip=xxx, lip=yyy, TLS dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Shutting down (auth failed, 1 attempts): method=CRAM-MD5, rip=xxx, lip=yyy, TLS dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Shutting down (auth failed, 1 attempts): method=CRAM-MD5, rip=xxx, lip=yyy, TLS dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Shutting down (auth failed, 1 attempts): method=CRAM-MD5, rip=xxx, lip=yyy, TLS dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Shutting down (no auth attempts): rip=xxx, lip=yyy, TLS dovecot: IMAP(lrosa(a)bbb.com): Disconnected: Logged out bytes=1028/49877 dovecot: IMAP(lrosa(a)bbb.com): Disconnected: Logged out bytes=2253/49352 dovecot: IMAP(lrosa(a)bbb.com): Connection closed bytes=20466/553071 dovecot: IMAP(lrosa(a)bbb.com): Connection closed bytes=19417/163412 dovecot: IMAP(lrosa(a)bbb.com): Disconnected: Logged out bytes=2937/69241 dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<lrosa(a)bbb.com>, method=CRAM-MD5, rip=xxx, lip=yyy dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<lists(a)aaa.com>, method=CRAM-MD5, rip=xxx, lip=yyy, TLS dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<lrosa(a)bbb.com>, method=CRAM-MD5, rip=xxx, lip=yyy dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<lrosa(a)bbb.com>, method=CRAM-MD5, rip=xxx, lip=yyy dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<lists(a)aaa.com>, method=CRAM-MD5, rip=xxx, lip=yyy, TLS dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<lrosa(a)bbb.com>, method=CRAM-MD5, rip=xxx, lip=yyy dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<lists(a)aaa.com>, method=CRAM-MD5, rip=xxx, lip=yyy, TLS dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<lrosa(a)bbb.com>, method=CRAM-MD5, rip=xxx, lip=yyy dovecot: IMAP(lrosa(a)bbb.com): Connection closed bytes=205/41166 dovecot: IMAP(lrosa(a)bbb.com): Connection closed bytes=609/217506 dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<lrosa(a)bbb.com>, method=CRAM-MD5, rip=xxx, lip=yyy Ciao, luigi - -- / +--[Luigi Rosa]-- \ Fallo oggi, domani potrebbe essere illegale. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAklBUKAACgkQ3kWu7Tfl6ZSQgwCbBoD6IEKjPNYriHrKmES4Zj+y ji0AnRZzU2ETJkVn72kmpR1C+cs3PNdf =T267 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

[Dovecot] Master user with "user="?
by Alan Ferrency 09 Jan '09

09 Jan '09

Hello, In our configuration, we are using a "passdb passwd-file", with "user=" directives in each username, and a separate "userdb passwd-file" which contains the target usernames for the "user=" directives. This works fine, for normal logins via POP and IMAP. For customer support testing purposes, we also set up a temporary "master=yes" passwd-file. This works fine, for any passdb username that does not have a "user=" field. However, it seems that if we use the master user to log into a username that is in the passdb with a "user=" field, dovecot looks in the userdb for the original username, and not for the "user=" username specified in the passdb passwd-file. Is this a known bug? Maybe I'm doing something wrong? Thanks! Alan Ferrency pair Networks, Inc. alan(a)pair.com

Hi! Using dovecot-1.1.17, and BDB-4.6.21. I'm having this error in every two weeks or so. I've running this in a crontab: /usr/local/sbin/dovecot --exec-mail \ ext /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/expire-tool The expire plugin and tool is working fine, the configuration is ok, and I'm using the BDB backend. What happens in every ~two weeks is dovecot starts to give me this error messages: Error: dict: db_env: Unable to allocate memory for transaction detail Error: dict: Failed to initialize dictionary 'expire' Reading thru Oracle's Berkeley DB FAQ: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/berkeley-db/faq/db_faq.html#28 "This error means the maximum number of active transactions configured for Berkeley DB has been reached [...] When all of the memory available in the database environment for transactions is in use, calls to being a transaction will fail until some active transactions complete.
