[Dovecot] Multiple network interface question
by Mike Henry 28 Aug '08

28 Aug '08

Hi all, Sorry if this question has been posted before. I have dug through the archives but haven't found any relevant answers to this question. I am running Dovecot on a server that serves a number of (virtual) domains each with a number of (virtual) users. To read mail I am providing a webmail client and have configured HTTPS connections using reverse DNS so that each domain has its own IP address and that each IP address gets mapped to a different virtual host. Each virtual host presents and HTTPS connection particular to their own domain using the SSL certificate for that domain so that each user only sees his or her own domain throughout. Is it possible to configure Dovecot so that mail-clients like Thunderbird or Outlook can connect via the default port using their own domain (maybe also using reverse DNS) and be presented with an SSL connection particular to that domain (i.e. using that domains certificate)? Any comments welcome. Thanks in advance, -Mike

Thx for your long post! ^_^ I understood that it was something like .<prefix><separator>folder1<separator>folder2 But, from my tests, it seems not to work as expected... At least not with thunderbird. By default, Tbird has "allow server to override namespaces" prefix=INBOX. and separator=. => no prefix and Trash system not working. prefix= and separator=. => INBOX. prefix (from tbird) and Trash system working. '/' in prefix and separator seems to be ignored (converted to '.'). I guess I will leave it to prefix= and separator=. but one user who uses apple mail complained about some prefix problems... Thx, JD

[Dovecot] unclear alias behaviour
by andel 26 Aug '08

26 Aug '08

Hi all In /etc/aliases I have set up an alias for "root" pointing to "david" which is a unix account. Other email accounts are virtual dovecot accounts, one of them is "andel". They all work fine using /etc/postfix/virtual when used with the domain name which is defined in /etc/postfix/virtual.domains. But the alias "david andel" in /etc/postfix/virtual does work only when sending to "david(a)domain.com" but not for the local mails sent to "root". And then there is another behaviour I don't understand. In my virtual mail folder /srv/vmail/domain.com dovecot made a new directory structure "david" which I didn't intend, for postfix should rewrite it to "andel". Where is the error? Thanks for any hints, David

Hi I am using Debian source packages from http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/. When downloading dependencies, I have seen that the package requires MySQL, that I don't use. How could I remove this dependency or chanage them? Is that defined in any file? However, I would like to use SQLite or Postgres to store dict data for the Expire plugin. Where should I enable these flags? Thanks.

[Dovecot] LOCALSTATEDIR

Hi I'm doing a network install of Dovecot 1.1.2. All is fine apart from a little annoying mistake I've found: I do this: > ./configure --prefix=/appli/tools_Linux/dovecot/1.1.2 --localstatedir=/var && make && make install however, since the --localstatedir is equal to a default value, it is still being constructed as "PREFIX/var" for some reason and in effect produces binary with following strings being built-in: > strings dovecot | grep var /appli/tools/dovecot/1.1.2/var/lib/dovecot /appli/tools/dovecot/1.1.2/var/run/dovecot /appli/tools/dovecot/1.1.2/var/lib/dovecot/ssl-parameters.dat /appli/tools/dovecot/1.1.2/var/lib/dovecot/ssl-parameters.dat var-expand.c var_expand_table_build So, the question is, is this a bug or my understanding wrong? I just need a network install, using local /var directiories for runtime data. Imagine that I have no write permissions to the installation (--prefix) folder. If you can reproduce it, this should be it, if you can't let me know to email you all the environment details.

[Dovecot] Override config in deliver command line
by dovecot＠iotti.biz 25 Aug '08

25 Aug '08

Hi all In dovecot deliver LDA, is there a way to override some configuration settings for particular users? Tha full story is: I have a simple postfix/dovecot setup. No virtual users, delivery is done in /home/mail/%u. For a specific user, I would like to deliver to a maildir. Since mail_location is not explicitly configured, I simply created ~/Maildir for that user, relying on the default automatic mailbox location procedure used by dovecot. But I would like to be able to override this setting: for example if I wanted to use a name different from Maildir, this trick would not be sufficient. So it would be nice to have some way to change mail_location (and why not, other config parameters) only for particular users (and for me, doing this on the command line would be good: something like Postfix where you can override config parameters simply writing the new settings in master.cf on the daemon's command line). I noticed the -c command line switch, but I would prefer not to have entirely different configuration files for my users, where a single change must be manually propagated on all the files. I use dovecot-1.0.15 on CentOS5. Maybe this question can be read as a feature request too. Thanks Luigi

Indexes are separate in every server, not shared via NFS. About 20 000 users total. When old indexes (1.0.15) were present, mailboxes with UID validity problems did not fix themselves, but after i removed index directories in all machines, seems like it started to repair uid validity problems. The first panic seems to be tied to UID validity problems. Some locking problems may be, because i renamed index directory and created new while dovecot was running. -- Lauri Jesmin <lauri.jesmin(a)ut.ee> Tartu Ülikool

[Dovecot] namespaces...
by John Doe 22 Aug '08

22 Aug '08

Hi, I am new to dovecot and I am a bit confused with how namespaces/prefixes/separators are handled by the clients and dovecot... I tried to understand the desciption from the conf file but without success. With each conf I create the following path /f1/f2 on the client (thunderbird) and get the following on the dovecot server: PREFIX= and separator=/ => .INBOX.f1.f2 + .INBOXTrash PREFIX=INBOX/ and separator=/ => .f1.f2 and no Trash PREFIX=INBOX. and separator=. => .f1.f2 and no Trash Could someone point me to some IMAP for dummy web page...? ;D Or, what is the best conf able to handle most clients? Thx, JD

[Dovecot] Distributed indexes, maildir_copy_preserve_filename, and Microsoft
by Jack Stewart 22 Aug '08

22 Aug '08

Hi, I've just completed a migration from Courier to a Dovecot 1.0.7 (patched RHE 5) which is working great, except for this weirdness of an issue that is impacting a handful of users. My question is that will turning off maildir_copy_preserve_filename help or hurt in a situation where there are multiple servers with their own local INDEX files (uidlist is shared)? The problem is that a few users on a few versions of Microsoft Mail clients are not showing a few messages. They can see the messages just fine in webmail and other, more typical, E-mail clients. I know that the right solution is to upgrade to 1.1.2 and use shared indexes. The plan is to upgrade in a month or so. In my defense, this setup was not of my making, The two things issues that might have an impact are that we have shared (NFS) maildirs on multiple servers with their own local indexes and maildir_copy_preserve_file turned on. The uidlist (CONTROL) is shared and we have sticky connections turned on in our load balancer. The vast majority of clients do not have this issue. Quite frankly I have no idea these clients are ignoring the dovecot-uidlist. Would turning off maildir_copy_preserve_filename help with this setup? Another option might be easier is to delete the users INDEX and let the clients rebuild them. Since this is only a handful of users and we are migrating to 1.1.2 anyway, my preference is to make the bare minimum of changes to help address this problem. The changes need not be perfect nor anytime more than a suggestion or preference. I just want to make things better for a little while. Many thanks in advance. ---Jack P.S. The performance improvement is amazing - anywhere from 2X to 12X depending on what metrics you are looking at. It isn't an apples to apples comparison since we upgraded the servers as well but the "old" servers are pretty powerful beasts. -- Jack Stewart jstewart(a)caltech.edu / 626-395-4690 http://www.imss.caltech.edu

[Dovecot] Option to evaluate IMAP prefixes relative to $HOME, rather than the IMAP root?
by David McBride 22 Aug '08

22 Aug '08

Greetings, Is there a mechanism (or relatively small source-code change) which would cause Dovecot to evaluate IMAP prefixes relative to $HOME rather than the configured IMAP root? * * * Background: We're currently migrating from a WU-IMAP mailserver configuration which stores user mail in a global NFS-exported $HOME, and we've run into well-known issues handling client-specified IMAP prefixes. If a user specifies an IMAP prefix, Dovecot evaluates the path given relative to the IMAP root path specified in mail_location, rather than resolving it relative to the user's home directory as our old WU-IMAP installation would do. (For example: if a user has been keeping their mail in $HOME/foobar, and mail_location's folder path is set to %h/mail, then when that user comes to retrieve their mail with an IMAP prefix set to "~/foobar", then Dovecot will attempt to return the contents of the folder $HOME/mail/~/foobar -- which doesn't exist -- rather than $HOME/foobar.) At the moment, we have several hidden namespaces set up to support various common user-side variations -- "mail/", "Mail/", "~/Mail/", etc. -- each with a different custom mail_location string. Whilst this works for these common cases, it's fairly ugly, and results in extra empty directories appearing in users' $HOME. If there was some mechanism for telling Dovecot to evaluate IMAP prefixes relative to $HOME rather than the mail folder root specified in mail_location, that would provide us with a much neater and general-purpose solution. (I was hoping that setting full_filesystem_access=yes would do this, but it only relaxes the normal access permissions.) Cheers, David -- David McBride <dwm(a)tastycake.net>

[Dovecot] assertion failed
by CJ Keist 22 Aug '08

I haven't heard anything on this bug. Is this a bug? I'm using dovecot 1.1.2 with the following patch applied: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.1/rev/d674c05d725d Another section from my logs. I know the backtrace is just numbers, let me know how to compile to get more useful information if you need it. So far no one is beating down my door, so I don't think users are seeing any ill effects. But I would sleep better knowing why it's happening.

[Dovecot] dovecot panic after upgrade 1.0.15 to 1.1.2
by Eric Rostetter 22 Aug '08

22 Aug '08

I recently upgraded dovecot from 1.0.15 to 1.1.2 and since then I am getting the following types of things in the logs: Aug 21 17:23:13 mail1 dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<myuser>, method=PLAIN, rip=172.16.78.20, lip=172.16.78.22 Aug 21 17:24:01 mail1 dovecot: Panic: IMAP(myuser): file index-sync.c: line 39 (index_mailbox_set_recent_uid): assertion failed: (seq_range_exists(&ibox->recent_flags, uid)) Aug 21 17:24:01 mail1 dovecot: IMAP(myuser): Raw backtrace: imap [0x80d25bb] -> imap [0x80d2def] -> imap [0x80d2719] -> imap [0x809edb8] -> imap(index_mailbox_set_recent_seq+0x46) [0x809ee06] -> imap [0x8083183] -> imap [0x8083621] -> imap [0x8083c3c] -> imap(mbox_sync+0x25) [0x80840d5] -> imap [0x807b993] -> imap(mail_index_transaction_commit+0x51) [0x80aee31] -> imap(index_transaction_commit+0x52) [0x809fe32] -> imap(mailbox_transaction_commit_get_uids+0x34) [0x80a2874] -> imap(cmd_copy+0x16a) [0x805b19a] -> imap [0x806068e] -> imap [0x8060536] -> imap [0x80606ea] -> imap [0x8060791] -> imap(client_input+0x67) [0x8060897] -> imap(io_loop_handler_run+0x112) [0x80daa92] -> imap(io_loop_run+0x2f) [0x80d9e4f] -> imap(main+0x61) [0x8068d81] -> /lib/tls/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xda) [0x12679a] -> imap(__fxstat64+0x6d) [0x8059ed1] Did I miss something in the upgrade process, or is this a bug that has yet to be fixed? This seems to be happening to many various users for various reasons. But I can verify for Andreas M. Kirchwitz who noted the other day that one of the easiest way to produce it seems to be "saving" or "moving" between folders in (Al)Pine... If Timo wants, I can send the dovecot.(index|index.cache|index.log) files for when this happens, but I would need to know what to send (both the folder being moved from and folder being moved to, or just one of them) and anything else needed, and the email to send them to. Sending the folder itself might be problematic, but might be possible. If we can't get this resolved by early next week, I might have to downgrade back to the previous version... -- Eric Rostetter The Department of Physics The University of Texas at Austin Go Longhorns!

[Dovecot] Simplest (static?) build & config for loopback access?
by FZiegler 22 Aug '08

22 Aug '08

I am installing Dovecot for the sole purpose of maintaining a local mail store that I could 1) manage with any client; 2) keep duplicated on several machines, using Unison; 3) hopefully, index using Spotlight (http://article.gmane.org/gmane.mail.mh-e.user/1308 ...). In particular, I have no intention to allow connections from anywhere but localhost. I've followed the instructions at http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/Rootless and it all seems to work quite well, but I'm not sure about 3 things: 1) Initially Dovecot would not respond to Thunderbird ("Could not connect to server localhost; the connection was refused"). Eventually, a "Trying ::1..." in the telnet log (see below) made me find hidden pref "network.dns.disableIPv6" and set it to FALSE. Which solves the problem -- but is this really needed, or have I done something wrong? 2) The Dovecot I built on OS X 10.4 appears to work fine when copied on another Mac running 10.5. Now, I'd love to avoid installing developer tools on both machines, but I fear this an illusion (some libraries are changing under us, e.g. libiconv.2.2.0.dylib --> libiconv.2.4.0.dylib). Does this mean I should try a static build? If so, what are the flags and how do I go about specifying a minimal set of libraries to include for my purposes? 3) Probably offtopic here, but has anyone seen a better way to index mail in Spotlight than just as plain text? E.g. to hook up Apple's importer (Mail.mdimporter in /System/Library/Spotlight) or Thunderbird's (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=290057) which I guess can better deal with quoted-printable and other encodings?

[Dovecot] POP3 UID file problem
by naslov naslov 22 Aug '08

22 Aug '08

Hello. I upgraded from RHRL4 to RHEL5 and my dovecot version changed from dovecot-0.99.11-8.EL4 to dovecot-1.0.7-2.el5. I also transferred all /home directories of users. The problem is that users have POP3 mail client set that it leaves mail on mailserver for 30 days. When they try to download messages from new server, client (Thinderbird) want to download all messages for those 30 days (he of course already has all those messages..). I suspect UID POP3 database index file format has changed.. How to "convert" dovecot 0.99 POP3 UID files to those used in newer version or how to go around that? Thanks for answering, naslov [root@mercury5 INBOX]# dovecot -n # 1.0.7: /etc/dovecot.conf protocols: imap pop3 pop3s ssl_cert_file: /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt ssl_key_file: /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key/server.key 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

[Dovecot] Quota plugin
by Thiago Monaco Papageorgiou 22 Aug '08

Hi! I have some questions about quota plugin. I have taken quota-maildir as example. What does the function maildir_quota_root_get_resources? When it is called? I have tested including some log messages, but it wasn't appears in the log file. When dovecot calls this function? It is an important function?

[Dovecot] Regarding dovecot-antispam bug!
by Mikael Jenkler 21 Aug '08

21 Aug '08

Hi All! There is a issue with dovecot-antispam and the new dovecot-1.1.x (dovecot-1.1.1) The imap server dies when sending mail, the mail goes away but it says that the imap server has crached in squirrelmail. I get the standard signal 11 crach in the dovecot loggs another question? My dspam users has the email as username somthing(a)domain.com and in dovecot.conf i need to specify the user when training, is there a w way to get the resiptient address in the dovecot.conf? i am only able to get %u ie the username ;-( Could you patch the antispam plugin to be able to take then resiptient as dspam user? ie the mail address , you can have a option in dovecot that says use resiptient address as user or something it would be great if you had time to check this out ;-) Thanks in advance

[Dovecot] Sent Date/time vs Received Date/time

I know that every message has a 'received' header, which is basically the date/time stamp of the SENDERS CLIENT - so if their system's time is off, that date/time header will be off. So, where does this 'Order Received' column in TBird get its info from? I'm guessing it is a TBird thing, like an internal index number? In my mind, there should be two primary date/time columns: Sent Date/Time = Date/time of the Client system when message was sent (this is already there as the plain 'Date' column) and Received Date/Time = Date/time the receiving SERVER DELIVERED it I can see the benefit for the third 'Client' side Date/time stamp, which is the current 'Order Received' in TBird. I'd like to see support added for grabbing the last date/time from the LDA that delivers the message, but that obviously request is for the TBird devs (or most likely an extension request), but... The main question is - is there a proper IMAP/RFC for providing/getting this date/time? -- Best regards, Charles

> I suppose the OP does not sort by date but Arrival time (this means arrival time in the mailbox). Exactly. I sort by arrival time, which in practice is the "unsorted" ordering based upon the mbox file itself. (Except I'd like to control the arbitrary "unsorted" order that I want by "resave to inbox" to handle reordering.)

[Dovecot] Dovecot & (Al)pine - resaving messages to Inbox
by Jonathan Herbach 21 Aug '08

21 Aug '08

I have a x86 Linux box running Fedora 4. Up until 2008 I was using pine 4.64 and Dovecot 0.99.x. In early 2008 I transitioned to Alpine 1.10, and didn't notice any major changes. I upgraded to Dovecot 1.0.15 this past weekend. My dovecot -n settings are at the bottom of the email. I've noticed a change since Dovecot was upgraded. I used to reorder items within my INBOX in al/pine by "saving" messages back to the INBOX, which I was connecting via IMAP . Now when I try to do it I get an error in alpine that says: [Can't copy mails inside same folder] then: [Save to folder "{localhost:143/i...r=jherbach}INBOX" FAILED] While these are alpine messages, they appear to be from the dovecot upgrade. I really miss the ability to reorder messages in my inbox since I often use it as a queue of important items. Does anybody have any ideas why I'm seeing this error message? Or better yet, how to potentially (re) configure the system to allow me to resave messages into the same folder?

[Dovecot] config file parsing, tab characters
by John Hannfield 21 Aug '08

21 Aug '08

Hello, I am using the latest dovecot 1.1.2 with postfix, and using doveco deliver command for LDA. I really love dovecot, and how it has progressed over the years. However I have noticed that if I put a TAB character in the dovecot.conf file, it sometimes does not parse the file correctlty, and complains about missing postmaster_address etc, even though they are there. So I reformated my config file, with just spaces, no tabs. I am very careful about that now. However I still seem to have a problem in some places with spaces. For example, in the LDA section: If I have 3 or 4 spaces, after the lda line in the definition, like so: #----------------------------------------------------------------------------- # LDA Settings #----------------------------------------------------------------------------- protocol lda { postmaster_address = postmaster(a)mydomain.com hostname = mydomain.com .... it does not work. I must have only 1 space between the end of lda and the curly bracket. Like this: #----------------------------------------------------------------------------- # LDA Settings #----------------------------------------------------------------------------- protocol lda { postmaster_address = postmaster(a)mydomain.com hostname = mydomain.com .... This seems very flaky. I am not certain I will always be able to check the file when making changes. So my question is: 1. Is there someway to check the validity of the dovecot.conf file. I notice dovecot -n does not print the entire config. 2. Is there any chance the code used to parse the config file, could be updated to be more robust, and to include support for tabs? Thank you. Paul

[Dovecot] How Can I Tell How Dovecot Was Installed?
by Blake Carver 21 Aug '08

21 Aug '08

I'm trying to help someone with Dovecot, and it looks like this one is a few versions behind. They say that they're not sure if it was installed Via an RPM or a source tarball. Dovecot is use MySQL. This is a RHEL5 server. There are RPMs listed as installed (rpm -qa) but I don't know how I can tell what was used to install the currently used set up. (also asking on the Postifix list) Is there something in a conf file or something that shows me how it was installed? Thanks Blake

[Dovecot] Stateful Webmail
by Michael Carter 20 Aug '08

20 Aug '08

Hello, I'm a developer on the Orbited project (http://www.orbited.org) which provides a TCPSocket interface in javascript (emulated over HTTP using ajax and comet.) This TCPSocket allows true bi-directional communication between a web browser and an arbitrary tcp server. One of the other developers pointed me to a recent dovecot thread about webmail. Sorry for the new thread (I just joined this list and couldn't reply to the old emails). Timo Sirainen wrote Wed Aug 13 23:37:11 EEST 2008: > I wrote this a while ago: http://imapwiki.org/ClientImplementation > > One thing that would be nice, that pretty much no webmail does, is to > keep a stateful connection open all the time (or at least some of the > time) instead of creating tons of short-lived connections that ask the > same stuff over and over again.

Coincidentally, we have just began work on a JavaScript IMAP client. With it, building a webmail app should be *entirely* a UI concern. The good news is that our Socket interface is very stable and is being used in production for protocols like IRC for webchat. The bad news is that none of the the Orbited developers have experience with the IMAP protocol. We are putting all of our protocol implementations in the soon-to-launch js.io project (www.js.io) As soon as we have any kind of IMAP client prototype, I'll let you know. In the meantime, would anyone be interesting in helping us develop the imap client? Its 100% pure JavaScript, and will greatly ease the development of feature-rich webmail, as a webmail deployment will become a matter of simply running Dovecot, the js.io.imap client, and an HTML gui. -Michael Carter

[Dovecot] Dovecot 1.1.2, index-sync.c, line 39, assertion

Hi folks, because I accidently missed a syslog entry from previous reports, here's a new one with both syslog lines. Same problem as always when saving mail from one folder to another with Pine 4.64. Does nobody else get this when copying/moving mail between folders? The assertion refers to src/lib-storage/index/index-sync.c, line 39 (function index_mailbox_set_recent_uid).

[Dovecot] dovecot performance
by Giorgenes Gelatti 20 Aug '08

20 Aug '08

Hello All, I've been studying dovecot for replacing my company's current system and I got a little worried about an aspect of the dovecot's design. I was surprised that dovecot doesn't use prefork for its mail processes, forking a new processes for each new client connection. Talking in the #dovecot channel I was gave a scenario of a system supporting ~40k users with 4 servers just fine. I wonder how well dovecot would scale if we increase this number of users by some order of magnitude like, say, 4M users. It is well known that preforking is a good pratice if you want to achieve a higher performance. When I was asked about it I readily answered: "of course it does". For my surprise later, i doesn't. Do you have any plans to support preforking in the near future? Best regards, giorgenes

[Dovecot] dovecot: Fatal: Time just moved backwards by 3603 seconds.
by Stephen Feyrer 19 Aug '08

19 Aug '08

<nervous_darting_eyes> Hi Everyone. </nervous_darting_eyes> Ooops I just broke my dovecot install. I've looked through the mailing list archives and not found anything relevant. When I try to connect to my mail server I get this message. "Could not connect to mail server chen.home.org; connection was refused" The last message in /var/log/mail.err is:- Aug 13 21:02:27 chen dovecot: Fatal: Time just moved backwards by 3603 seconds. This might cause a lot of problems, so I'll just kill myself now. http://wiki.dovecot.org/TimeMovedBackwards It seems this is my own fault. Time on my system is a little wonky so I reset the time and then I found out I'd broken Dovecot. I didn't realise that doing this would have an impact on dovecot. I read the web page and to be honest I'm not confident about hacking source code. I've reinstalled dovecot which worked except it hasn't solved my time travel problem. By the way since my first install of dovecot the config file seems to have changed a little but since I've tried to migrate my settings over the new file and been met with the same problem I don't think it's that. Is it possible to get dovecot working again? -- Regards Stephen.

A patch has been proposed for SpamAssassin to process Maildir folders of spam: <https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=3003> Is this patch compatible with Dovecot's implementation of Maildir? For example, is anything needed to avoid stepping on Dovecot's metadata?

[Dovecot] POP3 dictionary attacks
by Kenneth Porter 18 Aug '08

18 Aug '08

I'm seeing strings of failed POP3 login attempts with obvious bogus usernames coming from different IP addresses. Today's originated from 216.31.146.19 (which resolves to neovisionlabs.com) This looks like a botnet attack. I got a similar probe a couple days ago. Is anyone else seeing these? The attack involves trying about 20 different names, about 3-4 seconds apart. Here's a few sample log lines: dovecot: Aug 15 04:15:45 Error: auth-worker(default): pam(mike,216.31.146.19): pam_authenticate() failed: User not known to the underlying authentication module dovecot: Aug 15 04:15:49 Error: auth-worker(default): pam(alan,216.31.146.19): pam_authenticate() failed: User not known to the underlying authentication module dovecot: Aug 15 04:15:53 Error: auth-worker(default): pam(info,216.31.146.19): pam_authenticate() failed: User not known to the underlying authentication module dovecot: Aug 15 04:15:57 Error: auth-worker(default): pam(shop,216.31.146.19): pam_authenticate() failed: User not known to the underlying authentication module Timo, can you add the port used in the attempt to the error log entry? (It does show up in the info log entry, but that means I need to correlate lines in the two log files.)

[Dovecot] IMAP maildir performance difference between dovecot-uidlist versions?
by Jack Stewart 17 Aug '08

17 Aug '08

Hi, Is there an IMAP performance difference using Maildir between using version 3 and version 1 of the dovecot-uidlist (either dovecot 1.0.7 or 1.1.2)? It isn't entirely clear to me there is any difference as the filename may contain the size/vsize information. The servers will eventually be running 1.1.2 with the maildir_copy_preserve_filename turned on. I'm doing a batch migration from courier to dovecot 1.0.7 and eventually dovecot 1.1.2. These servers are, and will continue to be, IMAP only (i.e. dedicated control/dovecot-uidlist files). The migration script is run once - no build on the fly. It does a readdir() to get the full filenames and make sure that list entries are only for existing files. As a result, there is almost complete freedom in the output format for the dovecot-uidlist. Many thanks in advance! ---Jack P.S. For better or worse, it does seem that once you are stuck with whatever initial version you choose. -- Jack Stewart IMSS, California Institute of Technology, M/C 1-10, 1200 E.

[Dovecot] PAM session closes too soon
by Lauri Alanko 16 Aug '08

16 Aug '08

Hi. I'm trying to keep most of my data encrypted when possible, only keeping the decryption key in memory (and thus vulnerable to local attacks) when I'm actually using my data. In practice, this means using pam_mount to mount my home directory from an encrypted device. It almost looked like I could get this to work with mail as well, even when read via IMAP from a remote client: I placed my mail in the encrypted home directory, added pam_mount to /etc/pam.d/dovecot, and set session=yes in Dovecot's PAM configuration. Except that it didn't, quite: pam_mount worked just fine and mounted the encrypted disk using the IMAP password... and then immediately unmounted it, since for some reason session=yes means that Dovecot closes the session _immediately_ after opening it. This seems just silly. If a PAM session is to be used, then it seems obvious to me that its length should be exactly the length of the IMAP session. I can't see any reason for the current behavior, except maybe that it was a bit simpler to code and is sufficient for pam_mkhomedir (and only that). Can this be fixed with reasonable effort? Also, for pam_mount to work correctly, there must not be any file descriptors open in the mounted file system when the session closes, as otherwise unmounting is impossible. Will dovecot release all fds into the mail and index files when the session ends, or can it be made to do so? (UTSL is an acceptable answer.) Thanks in advance. Lauri Alanko la(a)iki.fi

[Dovecot] Problem with squirrelmail and dovecot 1.1
by Gerhard Wiesinger 16 Aug '08

16 Aug '08

Hello! I'm running squirrelmail 1.4.8 (I know this is not the latest version) and know I'm having troubles with: 1.) Folder list view 2.) Save to sent or Drafts folder. Configuration worked well. I think it has to do with the upgrade from dovecot 1.0 to 1.1 and the LIST command. Thunderbird/alpine work well. Commands from rawlog are: A002 LIST "" "~/Mail/Drafts" A002 OK List completed. or A002 LIST "" "~/Mail/sent" A003 CREATE "~/Mail/sent" A002 OK List completed. A003 NO Mailbox exists. Has something changed in the folder behaviour of dovecot from 1.0 to 1.1? If you need more information please let me know it. Any ideas? Thnx. Ciao, Gerhard -- http://www.wiesinger.com/

If you learned and then nuked some headers for example, the file size would change and that would be an issue if you storage that in the filename (they wouldn't match) as well as the dovecot index for imap/pop would be off potentially. Possibly some active imap sessions might be confused as well. This patch only really is sensitive to the Maildir structure, it has been able to handle the mail directories. -- Gabriel Millerd

[Dovecot] Search for (any of) multiple terms slow
by Patrick Nagel 15 Aug '08

15 Aug '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, this may be an obvious logical problem I'm not aware of, which cannot be solved any more efficiently... but maybe it's just a bug or there is potential for optimisation in Dovecot (or Thunderbird?). When searching for multiple terms at once ("any of") with Thunderbird/Dovecot (using FTS Squat indexes), it takes much longer (not double the time, or a bit more than that, but really much, much longer) than when I search for only one term. Here are some figures (the IMAP commands are shown as issued by Thunderbird and recorded by Dovecot rawlog). While searching, I can see the 'imap' process using 100% CPU time. Searching for "xyz" in Archive and subfolders 4 secs 32 select "Archive" 33 uid SEARCH UNDELETED BODY "xyz" 34 select "Archive.2004" 35 UID fetch 1:* (FLAGS) 36 uid SEARCH UNDELETED BODY "xyz" 37 select "Archive.2004.2005" 38 UID fetch 1:* (FLAGS) 39 uid SEARCH UNDELETED BODY "xyz" 40 select "Archive.2004.2005.2006" 41 UID fetch 1:* (FLAGS) 42 uid SEARCH UNDELETED BODY "xyz" 43 select "Archive.2004.2005.2006.2007" 44 UID fetch 1:* (FLAGS) 45 uid SEARCH UNDELETED BODY "xyz" 46 select "Archive.2004.2005.2006.2007.2008" 47 UID fetch 1:* (FLAGS) 48 uid SEARCH UNDELETED BODY "xyz" 49 IDLE Searching for "xyz" and "abc" (any of) in Archive and subfolders 123 secs 50 select "Archive" 51 uid SEARCH UNDELETED (OR BODY "xyz" BODY "abc") 52 select "Archive.2004" 53 UID fetch 1:* (FLAGS) 54 uid SEARCH UNDELETED (OR BODY "xyz" BODY "abc") 55 select "Archive.2004.2005" 56 UID fetch 1:* (FLAGS) 57 uid SEARCH UNDELETED (OR BODY "xyz" BODY "abc") 58 select "Archive.2004.2005.2006" 59 UID fetch 1:* (FLAGS) 60 uid SEARCH UNDELETED (OR BODY "xyz" BODY "abc") 61 select "Archive.2004.2005.2006.2007" 62 UID fetch 1:* (FLAGS) 63 uid SEARCH UNDELETED (OR BODY "xyz" BODY "abc") 64 select "Archive.2004.2005.2006.2007.2008" 65 UID fetch 1:* (FLAGS) 66 uid SEARCH UNDELETED (OR BODY "xyz" BODY "abc") 67 IDLE Searching for "xyz", "abc" and "def" in Archive and subfolders 173 secs 68 select "Archive" 69 uid SEARCH UNDELETED (OR (OR BODY "xyz" BODY "abc") BODY "def") 70 select "Archive.2004" 71 UID fetch 1:* (FLAGS) 72 uid SEARCH UNDELETED (OR (OR BODY "xyz" BODY "abc") BODY "def") 73 select "Archive.2004.2005" 74 UID fetch 1:* (FLAGS) 75 uid SEARCH UNDELETED (OR (OR BODY "xyz" BODY "abc") BODY "def") 76 select "Archive.2004.2005.2006" 77 UID fetch 1:* (FLAGS) 78 uid SEARCH UNDELETED (OR (OR BODY "xyz" BODY "abc") BODY "def") 79 select "INBOX" 80 UID fetch 1:* (FLAGS) 81 check 82 select "Archive.2004.2005.2006.2007" 83 UID fetch 1:* (FLAGS) 84 uid SEARCH UNDELETED (OR (OR BODY "xyz" BODY "abc") BODY "def") 85 select "Archive.2004.2005.2006.2007.2008" 86 UID fetch 1:* (FLAGS) 87 uid SEARCH UNDELETED (OR (OR BODY "xyz" BODY "abc") BODY "def") 88 IDLE Searching for "xyz", "abc", "def" and "ghi" in Archive and subfolders 217 secs 89 select "Archive" 90 uid SEARCH UNDELETED (OR (OR (OR BODY "xyz" BODY "abc") BODY "def") BODY "ghi") 91 select "Archive.2004" 92 UID fetch 1:* (FLAGS) 93 uid SEARCH UNDELETED (OR (OR (OR BODY "xyz" BODY "abc") BODY "def") BODY "ghi") 94 select "Archive.2004.2005" 95 UID fetch 1:* (FLAGS) 96 uid SEARCH UNDELETED (OR (OR (OR BODY "xyz" BODY "abc") BODY "def") BODY "ghi") 97 select "Archive.2004.2005.2006" 98 UID fetch 1:* (FLAGS) 99 uid SEARCH UNDELETED (OR (OR (OR BODY "xyz" BODY "abc") BODY "def") BODY "ghi") 100 select "Archive.2004.2005.2006.2007" 101 UID fetch 1:* (FLAGS) 102 uid SEARCH UNDELETED (OR (OR (OR BODY "xyz" BODY "abc") BODY "def") BODY "ghi") 103 select "Archive.2004.2005.2006.2007.2008" 104 UID fetch 1:* (FLAGS) 105 uid SEARCH UNDELETED (OR (OR (OR BODY "xyz" BODY "abc") BODY "def") BODY "ghi") 106 IDLE Patrick. - -- STAR Software (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. http://www.star-group.net/ Phone: +86 (21) 3462 7688 x 826 Fax: +86 (21) 3462 7779 PGP key: https://stshacom1.star-china.net/keys/patrick_nagel.asc Fingerprint: E09A D65E 855F B334 E5C3 5386 EF23 20FC E883 A005 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFIooxq7yMg/OiDoAURAhb9AJ4jOaK+eHXcSwJTAER8xEKIlJJt0gCgtZan wJm05V0F03gj+6YxbNOtCew= =jID/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

[Dovecot] Migrating mbox to maildir
by Mike Hobbs 15 Aug '08

15 Aug '08

Sorry to bother everyone but I was wondering if it is possible for Dovecot to handle mbox AND maildir at the same time? Example: I want to convert from UW Imap using mbox to Dovecot using maildir. Do I need to convert ALL my users mbox mailboxes to maildir right away or can I convert them one at a time? I'd like to use maildir with all my new users, but I'd like to be able to continue using mbox for my old users and slowly convert them as I get time. Is this possible? I know Dovecot supports both formats, I just couldn't find anything in the install notes about using both at the same time. Thank you, mike

[Dovecot] Webmail app ... again.
by Roderick A. Anderson 15 Aug '08

15 Aug '08

There was a thread several weeks (or months) ago on webmail applications. I didn't like any of the options and only found few that I did but they were either expensive or not maintained. So ... I raised the question on the Catalyst Framework list about Perl based webmail apps and got nothing usable. It came down to what would it take to build a Perl (Cat) webmail app. Several others on the list got interested so we decided to build it. The main issue I run into is my lack of understanding of the ins-and-outs of the IMAP specification and the features that come with using Dovecot. (Oh yeah. Dovecot was the preferred IMAP server!) Another project I'm working on uses IMAP and what I found was there is a great quantity of Perl modules for dealing with IMAP. A great quantity! Unfortunately many of them assume a deeper knowledge of IMAP than I have so are very confusing. What I'm looking for is a good reference, besides the RFC, on IMAP. Anything out there? Electronic or dead-tree is fine. (A book of Dovecot would be neat too.) TIA, Rod --

[Dovecot] restricting shared folders access
by Andrew Von Cid 14 Aug '08

14 Aug '08

Hi all, I have a dovecot setup with virtual users and a passwd-file passdb. All users have the same uid and gid. Recently I got my public folders working using namespaces and they work great. However, now I'm trying to share a folder between a limited number of users and so far I failed to get it working. Symlinks aren't an option because users need to be able to create subfolders of the shared folder so I'm trying to do it with namespaces but I'm not sure how to restrict access to a limited number of users. I tried doing it with groups. I made sure that the shared folder's group is set to 'staff' and the mode is 070, I also changed the group of a few virtual users to 'staff'. However, when I try accessing the shared folder I get a permission denied error (although the user is in the staff group). Can someone please recommend the best way to do this? Should I look into ACL's? Many thanks, Andrew.

[Dovecot] Plugin when downloading mail
by martijn＠youngguns.nl 14 Aug '08

14 Aug '08

Is there a way to modify mail messages when they are downloaded using a special login. eg. my normal login for dovecot is martijn(a)youngguns.nl but when I log in using martijn(a)dosomething.youngguns.nl I would like to download my mail which are processed using a Perl script. The Perl script will modify the content of the message (the message body). So I don't want to change the header or IMAP flags. Martijn

[Dovecot] Has anyone ever seen outlook do single sign on with dovecot/etc?
by Jason Gunthorpe 14 Aug '08

14 Aug '08

Hey all, I'm curious, has anyone been able to get outlook to do single sign on with a linux IMAP/SMTP back end? I have it doing NTLM authentication via the dovecot winbind module with Samba 3.2 just fine, but I have yet to see it try to use the cached windows logon credentials.. It appears to do an NTLM exchange with a blank password and then prompt for a password and then do an exchange with the given password. It does the same thing if PLAIN authentication is used. I'm starting to suspect MS deliberately hobbled outlook so that it uses the SSPI to exchange an entered password but not ever the logon credentials.. Does anyone know different? What a topsy-turvy world when thunderbird using SSPI works better on Windows than outlook. :| Thanks, Jason

[Dovecot] Disabling access for one user
by Kenneth Porter 14 Aug '08

14 Aug '08

I'm converting my system from mbox to Maildir one user at a time, and I'd like to disable access for the user I'm working on. Is there a way to tell Dovecot to lock out a specific user? Perhaps with a control file in the home directory? At the same time, how can I get sendmail+procmail to tempfail incoming messages for one user until I'm done?

Heh, I see ;) As it is, the FTS plugin is quite useless to us though :( most of the time people are doing a (real world) search, they don't remember the exact word they're looking for. For example they only remember that the mail they're looking for contained "English" and "automobile" - or was it "Englisch" and "Automobil", because the mail was in German? So to get a list of all possible mails, they want to make use of the OR connection of search terms... > Requires a lot > more complexity to the code though.. Couldn't Dovecot just search the index with each single word (as it does now without OR), and then merge the results, filtering out double UIDs? This is probably not the most efficient way to solve this, but it would be definitely *much* faster than not using the indexes at all - and doesn't sound too complex to me. Are there any other not-yet-implemented SEARCH features that don't work with the FTS plugin?

[Dovecot] mbox empty messages in Sent folder
by Diego Liziero 14 Aug '08

14 Aug '08

I'm talking about mbox Sent folder, where some mailers append through imap server a copy of each message they send. Sometimes, just three header lines got appended instead of the whole mail message, such as: >From xxxxxxxx(a)xxxxxx.xxxxxx.xxxxx.xx.xx Fri May 23 12:30:14 2008 X-UID: 2852 Status: RO This happened in the past (dovecot-1.1-beta/rc with Evolution and with Thunderbird), and happened last week with dovecot-1.1-rc5 (+ last week hg patches). Anyone had a similar issue? Regards, Diego.

[Dovecot] 1.1.x problems
by Andre Hübner 14 Aug '08

14 Aug '08

Hi, since upgrading to 1.1.x i still have this bugs "Next message unexpectedly lost " I read this Maillist some months ago and i believe that im not the only one... The Panics and crashes in 1.1.1 are gone by upgrading to 1.1.2 but these "Next message unexpectedly lost " bugs are really annoying if users can't download complete mails. is there something new to this issue. all recommend changes did not help. The only thing i could do is downgrade to 1.0.15 and all works fine. i can not keep the 1.1.x versions in my repo untill this case is solved. :( Thanks Andre

[Dovecot] [PATCH] Support GSS-SPNEGO natively
by Jason Gunthorpe 13 Aug '08

13 Aug '08

I cooked this up while trying to figure out why thunderbird on Windows w/ SSPI was not working, but it turned out thunderbird does not use it, so I haven't been able to test it yet. I'm presenting it for discussion only, unless someone else can try it :) Modern versions of MIT kerberos support GSS-SPNEGO natively, but are only willing to negotiate for kerberos tickets and not NTLM messages. This is how the SPNEGO works in libapache-mod-auth-kerb-5.3 which simply passes SPNEGO packets directly to gssapi if the library is new enough. There is even a configure feature test for the gssapi library in that packages configure script. Note that Debian etch's standard kerb libaries (1.4) are not good enough for this. Having this work means the other gssapi policy knobs in dovecot, like auth_gssapi_hostname, work properly. Instead of 'whatever it is that samba does'. I guess it fixes the concerns about winbind accesses blocking (although don't the gssapi calls block??) In light of this it is really only useful to use winbind if you want to support NTLM as kerberos will do the necessary exchanges with the kdc for an Active Directory domain. In truth a proper and complete design would somehow layer the built in NTLM module under the SPNEGO negotiation and only pass NTLM messages off to samba but I doubt anyone cares with NTLM being rather obsolete. --- dovecot-1.0.13/src/auth/mech-gssapi.c 2007-12-11 11:52:08.000000000 -0700 +++ dovecot-1.0.13-jgg/src/auth/mech-gssapi.c 2008-08-11 23:52:15.000000000 -0600 @@ -417,4 +424,21 @@ mech_gssapi_auth_free }; +/* MTI Kerberos > 1.5 supports SPNEGO for Kerberos tickets internally. + Nothing else needs to be done here.

[Dovecot] [PATCH] Allow GSSAPI to work with multihomed hosts
by Jason Gunthorpe 13 Aug '08

13 Aug '08

I saw some past chatter on this in the list archives, but here is another stab and another rational. This patch follows a similar patch to openssh in that it allows any key in the specified keytab to match the incoming host key. This is necessary for multihomed hosts. See: https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=928 IMAP/POP seem to be a strong candidate to be multihomed because they are very likely to have an internal to a firewall and external to a firewall name. Due to the way MIT kerberos handles host name resolution via reverse IP lookup this can often result in multiple principle names and there is simply nothing to be done about it. This is my situation.. When you add windows into the mix, which uses a totally different set of rules to determine the principle all hope seems to be lost to have a single service principle name for an imap server :( I was able to make things work for my environment using only the auth_gssapi_hostname feature if only MIT kerberos was used, but as soon as windows SSPI was involved it choose a different hostname. Thus we want to have GSSAPI to match any service principle in the keytab. As far as security concerns go, the admin can configure the keytab for dovecot to be seperate from the system key tab and contain only valid imap SPNs, but in truth it probably doesn't matter. I choose to just use the magic configurable: auth_gssapi_hostname = $ALL rather than introduce more configurables FWIW, after applying this I now am happy to say I have an Active Directory KDC, with dovecot providing gssapi auth to thunderbird on both linux (mit kerb 1.6) and windows (sspi).. --- dovecot-1.0.13/src/auth/mech-gssapi.c 2007-12-11 11:52:08.000000000 -0700 +++ dovecot-1.0.13-jgg/src/auth/mech-gssapi.c 2008-08-11 23:52:15.000000000 -0600 @@ -101,6 +101,13 @@ gss_name_t gss_principal; const char *service_name; + if (strcmp(request->auth->gssapi_hostname,"$ALL") == 0) { + auth_request_log_info(request, "gssapi", + "Using all keytab entires"); + *ret = GSS_C_NO_CREDENTIAL; + return GSS_S_COMPLETE; + } + if (strcasecmp(request->service, "POP3") == 0) { /* The standard POP3 service name with GSSAPI is called just "pop". */

[Dovecot] dovecot sieve sends vacation messages with null envelope sender
by Josef Liška 13 Aug '08

13 Aug '08

I am using this simple sieve script to do "vacation": require ["fileinto", "vacation"]; if exists "X-Spam-Flag" { stop; } vacation :days 1 :subject "Out of office reply" :addresses ["<email address hidden>", "<email address hidden>" ] "I am on vacation until 2008-08-07. If you have something urgent, please contact: Jan Novak <email address hidden> "; I use sql lookups for users and passwords. For some reason the default location ~/.dovecot-sieve did not work for some reason. However I prefer to put sieve scripts to /var/lib/sieve and when I added additional field to lookup with this location it started to work. But it sends vacation messages with null envelope sender, which is in my opinion undesirable, because many vacation messages are caught in spam filters. I think there could be same sender on envelope. In dovecot-sieve/src/sieve-cmu.c around line 380 is a call to smtp_client_open(src->addr, NULL, &f); NULL could be replaced with src->fromaddr Maybe some more patching may be necesary. I found similar patch for cyrus-imapd at http://oss.digirati.com.br/mail/cyrus.html <http://oss.digirati.com.br/mail/cyrus.html> My current system: 1) Ubuntu 8.04.1 jl@mail:~$ dovecot --version 1.0.15 It is a backported package from ubuntu intrepid ibex. However the same applies for dovecot 1.0.10 which is in ubuntu 8.04. Summary: I expect messages sent by vacation recipe should have envelope from same as user's e-mail address. This is then writen to Return-Path: header by receiving MTA NULL envelope from is used, resulting (in my case) to Return-Path: <> rewriten by postfix to Return-Path: <MAILER-DAEMON> by receiving MTA

[Dovecot] RfE: use HOSTNAME environment variable in hostpid_init()
by Heiko Schlichting 13 Aug '08

13 Aug '08

Hi, All parts of dovecot except deliver uses the result of hostpid_init() in src/lib/hostpid.c as a hostname which only asks gethostname(). deliver honours environment variable HOSTNAME in src/deliver/deliver.c: getenv("HOSTNAME"); and uses the hostname of hostpid_init() as a fallback. Wouldn't it be consequent to evaluate the environment variable HOSTNAME in hostpid_init() with fallback to gethostname() and remove the special behavior from deliver? The dovecot master process should export $HOSTNAME to all childs in this case. Motivation: Dovecot uses the hostname as part of Maildir file names and gethostname() is not fully qualified on all operating systems (it is on IRIX but not on Linux). But unqualified hostnames are not unique and it is frequent that dovecot hosts are named "mail" oder "imap" as hostname. To distinguish between mail.domain1.com and mail.domain2.net would be easier if dovecot evaluate $HOSTNAME in all case not just deliver as program imap can create Maildir files as well.

[Dovecot] syslog with PID
by Heiko Schlichting 13 Aug '08

13 Aug '08

Hi, LOG_NDELAY is the only option for openlog() in dovecot 1.1.2. Wouldn't be LOG_NDELAY|LOG_PID as option parameter much more useful? Without logging the pid, it is impossible to match 'Disconnected' log entries and the corresponding session start/login. Therefore I suggest to use LOG_NDELAY|LOG_PID in the options of i_set_failure_syslog() at all 6 occurrences which passes it to openlog(). I know that it is possible to - use logging to file - patch it myself but I can't see good reasons in not using LOG_PID here. As far as I know, most other programs specify LOG_PID. Without LOG_PID: Jul 31 10:21:08 name dovecot: IMAP(hsg): Disconnected: Logged out bytes=28/242 With LOG_PID: Jul 31 10:21:08 name dovecot[17016]: IMAP(hsg): Disconnected: Logged out bytes=28/242 Heiko Heiko Schlichting Freie Universität Berlin heiko(a)FU-Berlin.DE Zentraleinrichtung für Datenverarbeitung (ZEDAT) Telefon +49 30 838-54327 Fabeckstraße 32 Telefax +49 30 838454327 14195 Berlin

[Dovecot] IMAP inbox: cannot delete tagged messages or change their tag
by Epimedia 13 Aug '08

13 Aug '08

Hello, a bit of a problem with Dovecot. Version is 1.0.15 and is a default install (no changes to config) from FC8 repository... except that Dovecot is configured to use Maildir I have a user on the system who uses the tags in Thunderbird (Important, Personal etc). When she tags the messages they cannot be deleted and their tags cannot be changed. When deleting a message from the IMAP inbox it momentarily disappears and moves a copy to the Trash but when the IMAP inbox is reloaded the message reappears. The same happens when I try to change a tag: it comes back with the previous tag. Untagged messages can be freely deleted. Also, this problem does not happen if the messages are in a IMAP folder. They can be freely deleted. The problem seems specific to Dovecot, not Thunderbird, as I am able to tag and delete messages in another IMAP account. Also, accessing the same IMAP account using OS X Mail the messages come back after deleting them. Where should I start looking for a solution to this problem?

[Dovecot] Trying to Hide Namespace - new configuration options?
by Daniel Watts 13 Aug '08

13 Aug '08

Using 1.1.2 We have: # default namespace namespace private { separator = / prefix = inbox = yes #location = maildir:/home/virtual/%h #Maildir } # for backwards compatibility: namespace private { separator = / prefix = mail/ location = maildir:%h/Maildir/ #Maildir hidden = yes list = no } The 'hidden=yes' seemed to do nothing but saw earlier in this list a reply to add 'list=no'. This has worked to hide all folder but we still have /mail/Trash showing and it refuses to go away even after unsubscribing. mail/Trash appears when I set my email client to use folder prefix "mail/". If i set the prefix to blank I only see my Inbox and Deleted folders. Interestingly it shows 'Deleted' not 'Trash'. I guess Thunderbird renames 'Trash'. What other configs are there to try? Is there a list of config changes for 1.1.x anywhere? We were not aware of the list=no config. Thanks, Daniel

[Dovecot] Dovecot,nfs or memory indexing
by Sebastian Tymków 13 Aug '08

13 Aug '08

Hi, I wonder if it's normal behaviour that indexes created in memory have long creation time. Other problem is that indexes created on nfs sometimes get crushed and I need to delete indexes in case of fetching mails ( I see mails on hd but when telnet on host and make stat I don't see any). Does version 1.1.x correct this errors ? And what is better to use : nfs or memory indexing ? Can someone point me adventages and disadventages of using both solutions? Best regards, Sebastian

[Dovecot] Quota does not apply.
by Dario Ale 13 Aug '08

13 Aug '08

Hello list: I am try to run quota plugin but only works a part. The users are virtual and his homedir and mbox are in NFS server, INDEX files are in local disk. Quota only is applied to global home, if I configure a low global quota and sent an mail to my e-mail, quota works fine, mail is temporally deferred. But, if I configure a high global quota and a small quota for INBOX, sent a mail that is more big that quota for INBOX, then quota is not applied and the mail is delivered to INBOX.

[Dovecot] Server-side sieve for client-side copies
by Daniel L. Miller 13 Aug '08

13 Aug '08

I know I could test this - but I'd rather ask first. To my knowledge, we haven't come up with a good server-side implementation for savings copies of sent messages (by all means correct my ignorance in this regard). So the typical way is to enable it in clients like Thunderbird (this prompted a whole discussion of how to save these messages without sending them to the server multiple times). My understanding is that sending a message from a client (use Thunderbird for simplicity of this conversation) is performed via SMTP. Saving a copy into a sent folder is performed via IMAP (hence the multiple transfers to the server). Now that I've laid a background - let's make it Dovecot specific. I don't know how "behind-the-scenes" Dovecot performs the act of saving mail messages that it receives from IMAP, instead of SMTP. Specifically, if I'm using sieve filters via deliver - can I setup a filter that will place mail copies to specific recipients into specific subfolders? -- Daniel

[Dovecot] stopping dovecot
by Arkadiusz Miskiewicz 13 Aug '08

13 Aug '08

This may be a silly question but how to correctly stop dovecot and be sure that it's possible to start it again? kill -TERM `cat /var/run/dovecot/master.pid` doesn't work well. I have imap-login processes staying arround and occupying port which leads to Fatal: listen(0.0.0.0, 993) failed: Address already in use when trying to start again 2s after stopping. -- Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz PLD/Linux Team arekm / maven.pl http://ftp.pld-linux.org/

Hi I'm using dovecot imap with ldap accounts. User management interface is phamm. Internal clients connect directly using imap client. External clients must use webmail (squirrelmail). But not everyone is supposed to use webmail. Is there any way to control who is allowed to log in from a specific IP (webmail ip)? Thanx for suggestions Jan

[Dovecot] Mail quota usage errors
by Jeff Koch 12 Aug '08

12 Aug '08

Hi: We're using dovecot with qmail and vpopmail and are having problems with major inaccuracies in the mail quota usage maintained in the maildirsize file. Although the file starts off accurate after we delete it and force a rebuild it quickly becomes inaccurate. It doesn't seem to be catching new mail added to the directories. Does anyone have any suggestions or links to pages that will help us troubleshoot/correct this problem. Best Regards, Jeff Koch

[Dovecot] SSL Certifcates
by Stephen Feyrer 12 Aug '08

12 Aug '08

Hi anyone. Can dovecot be configured to authenticate user using only SSL Certificates only and not ask for a password. So far I've got it taking the username from the common name of the certificate but I like it to use the certificate in place of the password. Is this possible and how? -- Regards Stephen.

[Dovecot] Dovecot crashing
