[Dovecot] Dovecot 2 multiple address/port binding
by Thomas Hummel 04 Feb '11

04 Feb '11

Hello, Sorry, I know the topic has been talked about already but I searched the archives and I'm still unsure of the proper way to have dovecot (imap-login) listen to several addresses and/or several ports. 1. how do I translate dovecot-1 protocol imap { listen = xx.xx.xx.xx:143 yy.yy.yy.yy:143 ssl_listen = xx.xx.xx.xx:993 yy.yy.yy.yy:939 } I started by service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 143 } inet_listener imaps { port = 993 ssl = yes } but I don't know if I should add multiple "address" lines, other inet_listener {} sections, or multiple address on the same "address" line. 2. besides I don't know if it's possible to listen on the same address to several ports for the same "subservice" : for instance could I have an inet_listener imap {} listen on zz:zz:zz:zz:port1 and zz:zz:zz:zz:port2 ?

[Dovecot] Ldap and secondary PosixGroups
by Matthieu Ambrosy 04 Feb '11

04 Feb '11

Hello all, I'm using "Pam Ldap" for my users (Debian Lenny). getent passwd : *m.ambrosy:x:2000:100:m.ambrosy:/home/m.ambrosy:/bin/bash* getent group : *l_admin:*:2000:m.ambrosy l_personnel:*:2001:m.ambrosy l_mail:*:2003:m.ambrosy* As you can see, in LDAP, user "m.ambrosy" (PosixAccount) is defined with gidNumber = 100 (local group "users") and uidNumber = 2000. Furthermore this user belongs to 3 secondary Ldap PosixGroup (l_admin 2000, l_personnel 2001, l_mail 2003). If /var/mail belongs to the primary group (100), no problem. If /var/mail belongs to l_mail (2003) : *mkdir(/var/mail/m.ambrosy) failed: Permission denied (euid=2000(m.ambrosy) egid=100(users) missing +w perm: /var/mail, euid is not dir owner* In fact, Dovecot seems to not see secondary groups for my user. It just checks the primary group (gidNumber). If I modify my Ldap user like this, getent passwd : *m.ambrosy:x:2000:2003:m.ambrosy:/home/m.ambrosy:/bin/bash *It works fine but my "l_mail" group must be secondary (like an option for some users), not the primary gidNumber. Can I do it in the conf file?* * Am I making myself clear? Regards, Matthieu.

[Dovecot] Improving lmtp performance
by Joseba Torre 04 Feb '11

04 Feb '11

Hi, yesterday I migrated and old version with sendmail + courier to a virtual machine (vmware) with postfix and dovecot 2.0.9. Everything worked fine, but with a more or less default setup for both dovecot and postfix, lmtp performance was pretty bad: a message was written to an inbox every 2 or 3 seconds. With that rate and a 5000+ and growing mail queue mail delivery was really slow. After searching both the wiki and this list I didn't find anything related to this. I tried a couple of things, and finally added process_min_avail = 10 to service lmtp entry in 10-master.conf and local_destination_concurrency_limit = 10 in postfix's main.cf Now mail delivery is really fast, and my mail queue was delivered in a very sort time. Is this the right solution, or there's a better setup to improve mail delivery performance? Also, if this is a common problem, may be something should appear in http://wiki2.dovecot.org/LMTP Thanks. -- Joseba Torre. Vicegerencia de TICs, área de Explotación

[Dovecot] disabling outgoing mail ?
by Per Jessen 03 Feb '11

We're using roundcube as a method of access to a read-only email archive served via imap/dovecot. I was thinking of disabling outgoing mails by fiddling with the roundcube code, but thought it might be possible to disable the outgoing functionality from dovecot? /Per Jessen, Zürich

[Dovecot] Quota ignore issue
by Tim Traver 03 Feb '11

03 Feb '11

Hi Timo, ok, in my dovecot setup, I have a setting to ignore messages in the Spam folder (I will put my dovecot -n at the end of the message), and a strange thing appears to be happening. If I do a quota recalc on an account, It creates the maildirsize file correctly, without the contents of the Spam folder calculated into the total used. But, it looks like when a new spam email is delivered, before the sieve rules in the lda can move it into the spam folder, it is added to the maildirsize file. Then, once it is moved into the Spam folder, if it is directly expunged from the folder, it isn't subtracted from maildirsize file. I am using roundcube as a webmail solution, and it recognizes the Spam folder and lets users directly empty the Spam folder instead of moving it to the trash, and then removing it. If I do move the mail from the Spam folder to the Trash folder, and then empty the trash, it then puts the subtraction in the maildirsize folder. So, either it shouldn't add it in the first place, or even though it is deleted directly from the Spam folder, it should be subtracted from the maildirsize folder, right? Hmmm...maybe its the structure of the default sieve command that I have that is making it want to add it? here is the default sieve script that I use in the sieve_after field : require "fileinto"; # rule:[Spam and Virus Tag] if anyof (header :contains "Subject" "[VIRUS-TAG]", header :contains "Subject" "[SPAM-TAG]") { fileinto "Spam"; stop; } Essentially, what is happening is that users are getting their quota filled up for messages that were in their Spam folder... Thanks, Tim. and here is my dovecot -n output : # 2.0.7: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: FreeBSD 8.1-STABLE i386 auth_username_format = %Lu auth_username_translation = %@ auth_verbose = yes disable_plaintext_auth = no dotlock_use_excl = yes first_valid_uid = 100 listen = * lock_method = dotlock log_path = /local/logs/dovecot.errors mail_fsync = always mail_gid = 100 mail_location = maildir:%h/Maildir mail_nfs_index = yes mail_nfs_storage = yes mail_plugins = " quota" mail_uid = 100 managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date imapflags notify mmap_disable = yes passdb { args = /bin/checkpassword_dovecot_auth driver = checkpassword } plugin { quota = maildir:User quota quota_rule = Trash:storage=+100M quota_rule2 = Spam:ignore sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_after = /home/mailboxes/sieve/to_spam_folder.sieve sieve_dir = ~/Maildir/sieve sieve_extensions = +notify +imapflags } protocols = imap pop3 sieve service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { group = sn mode = 0600 user = sn } } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = prefetch } userdb { args = /bin/checkpassword_dovecot_deliver driver = checkpassword } verbose_proctitle = yes verbose_ssl = yes protocol pop3 { pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh } protocol lda { info_log_path = /local/logs/dovecot-deliver.log log_path = /local/logs/dovecot-deliver-errors.log mail_plugins = " quota sieve" } protocol imap { mail_plugins = " quota imap_quota" } protocol sieve { managesieve_sieve_capability = comparator-i;ascii-numeric fileinto reject vacation imap4flags notify include envelope body relational regex subaddress copy }

[Dovecot] Reproducable hang caused by IMAP server
by Matthias Scheler 02 Feb '11

02 Feb '11

Hello, I have problems with Dovecot 2.0.9 (and 2.0.8) under NetBSD/amd64 5.1. "mutt" hangs when I try to quit it after accessing a folder via IMAP. I can reproduce the problem with these steps: 1.) I run "mutt -f =foo" to access folder "foo" via IMAP. The folder contains about 10 messages in my case. 2.) I tag two of the messages and then save them to a *non existent* folder. When "mutt" asks whether the folder should be created I confirm the action. 3.) Finally I exit "mutt" and confirm the question whether the messages marked as deleted (by the save in step 2) should be deleted. 4.) "mutt" now hangs indefinitely. I've attached a packet capture of the above steps to this e-mail. As far as I can tell from the packet capture and debugging "mutt" with "gdb" it waits for the IMAP server to confirm the logout which never happens. I've never seen this problem with Dovecot 1.2.16. Here is the requested debugging information: Output of "dovecot --version": 2.0.9 Output of "doveconf -n": # 2.0.9: /etc/pkg/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: NetBSD 5.1_STABLE amd64 auth_mechanisms = cram-md5 digest-md5 plain login listen = *, [::] mail_debug = yes mail_location = mbox:~/Mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u passdb { args = /etc/pkg/dovecot/passwd driver = passwd-file } pop3_uidl_format = %08Xv%08Xu protocols = imap pop3 service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } } ssl_cert = </etc/openssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/openssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = passwd } Kind regards -- Matthias Scheler http://zhadum.org.uk/

I just installed Postfix, MySQL, and Dovecot. Everything is working great (IMAP, POP, SMTP) except that I can't get incoming mail to deliver properly. Incoming mail logs the following: Feb 2 13:23:52 mail postfix/qmgr[2187]: CE0D41F0263: from=<mhoppes@[redacted]>, size=650, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Feb 2 13:23:52 mail postfix/pipe[3594]: CE0D41F0263: to=<mhoppes@[redacted]>, relay=dovecot, delay=0.32, delays=0.3/0/0/0.01, dsn=5.3.0, status=bounced (Command died with signal 11: "/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver") Running /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d mhoppes@[redacted] results in an e-mail being delivered to the recipient. Any thoughts on what my issue is?

Hi, this is my first time in a mailing list, so I don´t know if I´m doing it right. My problem is that I cannot move a folder into another one, I can create them, move messages, etc, but I can´t move a folder, no matter what folder. It works fine With Thunderbird, but in Outlook Express or WLive Mail2009 it just doesn´t go! Must be something wrong with my .conf. I hope someone can help me please. dovecot --version 1.0.15 dovecot -n # 1.0.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: imap listen: 192.168.10.2:210 disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: maildir:/var/mail/%u auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd

[Dovecot] override not working
by Paul A 02 Feb '11

02 Feb '11

Hi, I'm using dovecot 2.x and I'm using override so that only certain domains are allowed to use ACLs, however it does seem to be working even though I see the mail_plugins override in the logs. In the config file I have protocol imap { mail_plugins = quota imap_quota trash expire autocreate } Using the following password/user queries: password_query = SELECT username as user, password, if('%d'='virttest2.xxx.net', 'acl imap_acl',null) as mail_plugins, concat('/var/vmail/%d/', maildir) as userdb_home, concat('maildir:/var/vmail/%d/', maildir) as userdb_mail, 101 as userdb_uid, 502 as userdb_gid, CONCAT('*:bytes=', CAST(quota AS CHAR)) AS quota_rule FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' user_query = SELECT maildir, if('%d'='virttest2.xxx.net', 'acl imap_acl',null) as mail_plugins, 101 AS uid, 502 AS gid, CONCAT('*:bytes=', CAST(quota AS CHAR)) AS quota_rule FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active = '1' Now in n the log I do see the mail_plugins override but for some reason I get an IMAP error when trying to share folders. out: OK 1 user=user20(a)virttest2.xxx.net mail_plugins=acl imap_acl quota_rule=*:bytes=512000000 ERROR: IMAP server does not support the ACL capability, sorry.

[Dovecot] automated mailbox trimming?
by Monique Y. Mudama 02 Feb '11

02 Feb '11

Hello all, If this is answered in the wiki, I apologize. Please point me to it and I'll be on my way ... This may be more of a MailDir-generic question, except that as I understand it there's some wiggle room in the naming of the message files. I've just switched from an mbox-based mail system to Dovecot with MailDir. With mbox, I used logrotate to keep some of my mailboxes (spam, sent, stuff like that) down to only the most recent messages. What's the best way to go about mailbox trimming with dovecot's implementation of maildir? I was thinking of writing a script to simply move or delete old files, but would I mess up dovecot's expectations for directory/file structure that way? My mail directories are in my user's home directory. I'm fine with writing a script or application (time permitting, of course), but before I do so, is there already a solution out there? In case it's relevant: $ dovecot --version 1.2.15 $ dovecot -n # 1.2.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.37 x86_64 Debian 6.0 log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S ssl: required login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login mail_privileged_group: mail mbox_write_locks: fcntl dotlock auth default: passdb: driver: passwd-file args: /etc/dovecot/passwords userdb: driver: passwd userdb: driver: passwd-file args: /etc/dovecot/passwords

[Dovecot] Cannot authenticate with new Red Hat/Fedora SHA512
by John Cooper 01 Feb '11

01 Feb '11

RHEL6 and Fedora 14 use an improved password algorithm of SHA512 on a brand new install of the OS (:$6$ in shadow file). cat /etc/shadow user1:$6$<salt>$<password>:15006:0:99999:7::: I cannot get dovecot to authenticate. I've search for a way to change the default algorithm in dovecot and found you should use CRYPT but I don't know what to put in the /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf or /etc/dovecot/conf.d/* Can this be done or do you need to use an alternate password file with MD5? Thanks, John.

[Dovecot] cgroup support
by Andreas Pelme 01 Feb '11

01 Feb '11

Hi, I am setting up a system that enforces cgroup restrictions when a user logs in via SSH, and for all the services that are run by a particular user. I am also running dovecot to give users IMAP/POP access to their mailboxes. However, to be part of a cgroup, PIDs must be explicitly added to the cgroup tasks file. So for now, all my processes are run with resource restrictions, except for Dovecot processes. It would be really cool if dovecots child/worker processes could be added the a cgroup in addition to the usual setuid/chroot protections that already exists. Adding a process to a cgroup is a matter of writing the PID to the correct cgroup tasks file. If this were implemented as an extra field in userdb, it could be very powerful, and allow for all kinds of resource management/accounting of dovecot processes. This would obviously not be cross-platform, since cgroups are a feature of the Linux kernel. Would that be a problem? Is support for cgroups something that could be considered for dovecot at all? Are there other ways to put dovecot processes in cgroups? I do not really have a patch or a plan for how everything would work out in detail. If this would be useful for dovecot, I would be happy to start hacking on a patch. Cheers Andreas

[Dovecot] Permissions issues after dovecot reload
by Matt Rude 01 Feb '11

01 Feb '11

Hello, Today while looking at a different issue (one user couldn't retrieve mail; DNS issue) I set 'mail_debug=yes' then ran `dovecot reload` on our mail server. After running the reload, dovecot started complaning about permission issues with the dict file, and preceded to try to kill it's self. The self reload didn't seem to work, and since this is a production system, I was forced to restart the dovecot service. After the restart of the service, everything seemed to go back to normal.

[Dovecot] disable_plaintext_auth = no ignored by dovecot in Ubuntu 10.04
by David Mattox 31 Jan '11

31 Jan '11

Help!! I have been trying to get Dovecot configured to allow plaintext auth with no success. After some testing with the mail system I discovered the >dovecot -a commant to dump the config file values from the program. Gee, changing the value of disable_plaintext_auth had no effect on what the program reported this value to be! To eliminate possible errors caused by other config file entries I finally restored the /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf file that was created by installing the package. I then changed the one line to uncomment disable_plaintext_auth and set it equal to no. restart the box and execute dovecot -a The value is still set to the default value of yes... Help! What is happening and how to I get this system to allow plain text auth without TLS? I did also try setting different ports for imap, imaps, pop3, pop3s inside the seperate protocol blocks with no effect. Below you will find a partial of the config file. Below that you will find the output of >dovecot -a and >dovecot -n Thank you in advance for any help with this problem.

[Dovecot] Particular user post-login hang
by Henry C. 31 Jan '11

31 Jan '11

Greets, I'm using dovecot 2.0.9 (also tried rolling back to 2.0.8 which does the same - the output below is from 2.0.8), and this problem is imap specific. The following is a recurring problem with a specific user - as far as we can tell, other users are working just fine (there are thousands); but I bet there are others. In a nutshell: User authenticates OK, then the imap process hangs. It's almost as if something in the user's inbox is causing the problem, since if I clear all emails (and cache), then things work fine. The user will then receive emails OK for some random period (maybe a few days) and be able to read/write OK via imap, and the problem will re-occur. The debug output shows nothing untoward: auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=20774) auth: Debug: client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=imap secured lip=127.0.0.1 rip=127.0.0.1 lport=144 rport=41641 resp=<hidden> auth: Debug: shadow(username,127.0.0.1): lookup auth: Debug: client out: OK 1 user=username auth: Debug: master in: REQUEST 1938161665 20774 1 238230058d076a9af1cd4405244d33ba auth: Debug: passwd(username,127.0.0.1): lookup auth: Debug: master out: USER 1938161665 username system_groups_user=username uid=17286 gid=300 home=/home/mailusers/username imap-login: Info: Login: user=<username>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, mpid=20775, secured imap(username): Debug: Effective uid=17286, gid=300, home=/home/mailusers/username imap(username): Debug: fs: root=/home/mailusers/username/., index=, control=, inbox=/var/mail/username Rawlog looks good: IN: A002 CAPABILITY A003 NAMESPACE C64 EXAMINE "" A002 STATUS "INBOX" (MESSAGES UNSEEN RECENT) A003 SELECT "INBOX" A004 EXPUNGE A005 SELECT "INBOX" A006 EXPUNGE A007 UID SEARCH UNSEEN A008 UID FETCH 2533:2588 (FLAGS BODY.PEEK[HEADER.FIELDS (RECEIVED)]) OUT: ... * 15 FETCH (UID 2536 FLAGS () BODY[HEADER.FIELDS (RECEIVED)] {944} ... * 67 FETCH (UID 2588 FLAGS () BODY[HEADER.FIELDS (RECEIVED)] {945} ...

[Dovecot] dovecot can't see mail that is there

Hi list, I've yet to figure out what's the issue with my installation, why I can't see the mails that are definitely there. I've updated with last package: dovecot-2.0.9-1.fc14.x86_64.rpm and performed the following test: 1) send a simple 2 lines test mail from "root" to user "testdvct" with alpine 2) login under "testdvct" + run alpine + list (only list, not read) the mail: +------------------------------ Alpine Output --------------------------------------+ | ALPINE 2.02(1266) MESSAGE INDEX Folder: INBOX Message 1 of 1 NEW | | | | + N 1 17:43 root (881) | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------+ so it tells me I've got one mail from root 3) I issue the command: "strace -o strace-dovecot.txt -p 2218" where 2218 is the /usr/sbin/dovecot PID 4) telnet into pop3: # telnet localhost pop3 Trying 127.0.0.1...

[Dovecot] Duplicate messages when moving message to inbox
by Ron Garret 31 Jan '11

31 Jan '11

Hello, I am encountering a strange problem but I'm not sure if it's a dovecot problem or a Mac Mail problem. The symptom is that if I move a message from a folder into my inbox the message ends up showing up as a duplicate in Mac Mail. On the server it's still just one message. This ONLY happens when I move a message IN to the inbox. It does not happen when I move a message out of my inbox into a folder, or when I move a message between folders. I can force a sync on Mac Mail and the duplicate is still there. If however I quit Mac Mail and start it up again, the duplicate disappears. I can move one of the duplicated messages out of my inbox into a folder and then back into my inbox repeatedly and end up with (apparently) an arbitrary number of copies of the same message. On the server, though, there is still only one file. Surely I'm not the first person to have encountered this behavior? Does anyone happen to know if this is a dovecot bug or a Mac Mail bug (or, hopefully, a configuration problem)? Thanks, rg

It's a theoretical problem mostly, especially in your case. It's mainly visible when doing stress testing with large maildirs. I doubt in regular use it matters.

[Dovecot] dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected (tried to use disabled plaintext auth): method=PLAIN
by John Espiro 30 Jan '11

First, my problem. Settings are below that... Everything works fine - I can login to webmail (users are tied to LDAP). I can send and receive email via my Thunderbird Client. However in my mail.err log I see lots of messages that say: dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected (tried to use disabled plaintext auth): method=PLAIN 1.) What does that mean, and how can I solve it? 2.)

[Dovecot] inform users's about new spam
by ckubu 30 Jan '11

30 Jan '11

Hallo evryone! Mailsetup: postfix+dovecot2 with postgres database backend - about 2,000 virtual mailboxes, growing.. New possible spam will be sorted into a users directory named "spam", emails older than 30 day's in that folder will be deleted by using expunge. I would like to inform my users evry two day's (or something like that) about new emails in the spam folder. Can you give me a hint how to handle that ? Are there helpful tools , or have i to wrote my own script, walking through the folders, checking for new emails since last check and finally inform the user if needed. Best wishes Christoph

[Dovecot] Copying sieve scripts
by Christoph Pleger 30 Jan '11

30 Jan '11

Hello, I am using squirrelmail with avelsieve to edit my filter rules. The filter rules are like this: 1. If the message contains a virus, delete the mail and notify me by email. 2. If the message is spam, deliver it to my spam folder. 3. If the message is from the dovecot mailing list, deliver it to my dovecot folder Yesterday, I created a new user and wanted to let him have rules 1 and 2 like above, only with another destination for email notification. So, I copied my sieve script into the sieve directory of the new user, deleted rule 3, changed the destination for email notification and then called sievec to compile the rule set. But this did not work like expected: Using squirrelmail, I saw that the new user had only rules 1 and 2, but the destination in rule 1 still contains my email address. My own account still has three rules. So, this simple way of copying sieve scripts does not work. Is there another way to copy sieve rules from one user to another? Regards Christoph

[Dovecot] sql : uid, gid, home ignored ?
by Eric Diaz Fernandez 30 Jan '11

30 Jan '11

Hello, I'm trying to setup a dovecot imap server. version is 2.0.9 I've setup a mysql database using: user_query = \ SELECT home, uid, gid, home as userdb_home, uid as userdb_uid, gid as userdb_gid, \ FROM user WHERE username = '%n' AND domain = '%d' AND active = 'Y' password_query = \ SELECT username AS user, password, home as userdb_home, uid as userdb_uid, gid as userdb_gid, home, uid, gid \ FROM user WHERE username = '%n' AND domain = '%d' AND active ='Y' (I get the information with and without the userdb_ prefix since I was not sure what was needed) When I login, I see the password_query in the debug log and it says: client out: OK 1 user=theuser home=/home/theuser uid=1000 gid=1000 master in: REQUEST 547880961 10068 1 e6...(hexadecimal stuff) master out: USER 547880961 theuser But in the mail.err log i see: dovecot: imap(theuser): Error: user theuser: Couldn't drop privileges: User is missing UID (see mail_uid setting) dovecot: imap(theuser): Error: Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. The same two lines are also displayed in mail.info and mail.log Further testing (setting mail_uid & mail_gid to a nobody) shown that the home setting was ignored too. The sql example says that uid and gid are supposed to be an override of the mail_uid and mail_gid settings. Any idea of why the columns are ignored ? Thanks in advance, Eric

[Dovecot] Cooperating with dovecot in its Maildir
by Rob Browning 29 Jan '11

29 Jan '11

Is it possible to cooperate with dovecot within its Maildir, and if so, what's required? In this particular case, we're thinking of trying to allow notmuch to operate directly on the dovecot Maildir, and at the moment, the only modifications notmuch makes are to change maildir flags. Would locking dovecot-uidlist.lock be sufficient, perhaps via liblockfile? Also, is there some reliable way to detect a dovecot Maildir? For example, are any of the dovecot-* files guaranteed to exist all the time? Thanks -- Rob Browning rlb @defaultvalue.org and @debian.org GPG as of 2002-11-03 14DD 432F AE39 534D B592 F9A0 25C8 D377 8C7E 73A4

[Dovecot] How do I do this with mdbox?
by Odhiambo Washington 29 Jan '11

29 Jan '11

In my life with Maildir, mails were stored as single files, each mail per file. It was pretty easy to resend an e-mail from a Maildir folder to another address, by causing the mail to be re-injected into my MTA (Exim) queue for processing: I'd use a very simple shell script to achieve the above: #!/bin/sh email=$(find $*) { for x in ${email}; do sendmail president(a)egypt.gov < ${x}; done } Now, with mdbox container/storage, it beats me how to achieve the same. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Damn!!

[Dovecot] Sharing user folders doesn't work when users have periods in names.
by ian+dovecot＠comtek.co.uk 28 Jan '11

28 Jan '11

I am using period as an IMAP separator with Maildir directories and I cannot share folders where the user has a period in their name. Suppose I log in as 'some.user' and do: SETACL INBOX mailtest(a)example.co.uk +lrwstipekxacd /var/mail/virtual/users/some.user/Maildir/dovecot-acl is created, with appropriate contents and shared-mailboxes.db gains an entry for 'shared/shared-boxes/user/mailtest@example.co.uk/some.user@example.co.uk'. mailtest is simply unable to see a new folder. As mailtest 'a LIST "" "Users.*" ' is empty. If I do ' a MYRIGHTS Users.some.user.INBOX ' I get 'NO [NONEXISTENT] Mailbox doesn't exist: Users.some.user.INBOX' and, oddly, a new maildir appears: '* LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "." "Users.some" ' -- it also creates an empty folder structure with a single file /var/mail/virtual/users/some/Maildir/dovecot-acl-list too! Is there a workaround that does not involve rebuilding every user's Maildir with backslash as a separator? Thanks, Ian

Hi, i'm new on sieve, but want to use ist with sogo. The Problem is, that when i set a redirect or vacation rule like: redirect "email(a)example.com"; (real Adress is different) the sieve says the mail would be forwarded, but no mail is sent. (No Action in /var/log/maillog) And because there is no Error-Message it's difficult to search for...

Hi in Dovecot 2.x with virtual domains, is there a way specify what domains can create shared directories and who can't? For example I have 3 domains, domain1.com, domain2.com and domain3.com. Let's say I only want domain1.com's users to create shared folders how can I go about doing this. Thanks, Paul

[Dovecot] Telnet access creates new maildir folders
by Seasoul 28 Jan '11

28 Jan '11

Hi, I am running Dovecot Version 1.0.15on a Debian server, with postfix and postfixadmin. My mailbox base is /var/mail/vmail When I send an email to a user1(a)domain.com for the first time, the user "mail" creates a set of dovecot folders under /var/mail/vmail/ user1(a)domain.com/ and my new emails are found in /var/mail/vmail/ user1(a)domain.com/new When I test my server using telnet (telnet domain.com 110), I can log in fine as a user1, but when I type "LIST", it tells me there are no emails. And I realize a new set of dovecot folders were created under /var/mail/vmail/user1/ ! The folders are created by the user "user1". Obviously the folder "new" under that is empty, since my emails received are in /var/mail/vmail/user1(a)domain.com/new and not /var/mail/vmail/user1/new . Therefore, connecting with an email client via POP also shows an empty inbox. I am lost as to what to do to fix this, and how to let the server know that pop access should be looking into /var/mail/vmail/user1(a)domain.com/ instead of /var/mail/vmail/user1/ . Hopefully someone on this list will be able to save me from my misery :) Cheers Sea

[Dovecot] Best way to calculate concurrent users?
by Henrique Fernandes 28 Jan '11

28 Jan '11

Well, i am having some problens to figure out how many concurrent users into the server! In my envoriment now, most people are using the webmail interface, and it just conect and disconct pretty quickly so i can not get it with "doveadm who" doveadm who only gets the ones that are connect with clients. O use ipvs to balance betwaeen 2 servers does anyone have an ideia ? With ipvs i get this results: IP Virtual Server version 1.2.1 (size=4096) Prot LocalAddress:Port Scheduler Flags -> RemoteAddress:Port Forward Weight ActiveConn InActConn TCP XXX.XX.X.XX:143 lblcr -> 10.0.2.10:143 Masq 1 16 228 -> 10.0.2.11:143 Masq 1 16 184 There is others ports and stuff. Does any one have an ideia how to get this number ? []'sf.rique

[Dovecot] Storing Dovecot index files on sql
by list＠airstreamcomm.net 28 Jan '11

28 Jan '11

We have been communicating with the mailling list on another thread regarding dotlocking on the dovcot-uidlist over an NFS share, and I was hoping to get some ideas on whether or not a sql database would be a suitable location for storing the dovecot index files. Our though process so far has been that storing the index files on NFS with the maildir has not worked very effectively when we are using multiple Dovecot servers (even using sticky IPs in our load balancer), and using local storage is not possible with a cluster of machines, so we got to thinking about what type of storage platform would be suitable for these index files that would provide native locking of the data while multiple servers accessed and wrote to it. Our question to the community is whether sql storage for index files has ever been considered, what issues would this introduce, and if it's even feasible? Thanks everyone! Michael

[Dovecot] Differenft INBOX for IMAP/POP with checkpassword passdb
by Peter Mogensen 27 Jan '11

27 Jan '11

Hi, I'm trying to do a setup where IMAP and POP users see different INBOX' Like described on the virtual folder wiki page: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Virtual However, for now, I'm stuck with the checkpassword passdb and prefetch userdb So I can't parameterize the result on %s like the example with MySQL does. So I thought of having to different checkpassword scripts: passdb checkpassword { args = /usr/bin/checkpassword-%s } However, Dovecot (1.2.15) doesn't seem to expand %s even though the Wiki says it should be available everywhere: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Variables Is this a bug, or am I missing something. /Peter

[Dovecot] Best Cluster Storage
by Jonathan Tripathy 27 Jan '11

27 Jan '11

Hi Everyone, I wish to create a Postfix/Dovecot active-active cluster (each node will run Postfix *and* Dovecot), which will obviously have to use central storage. I'm looking for ideas to see what's the best out there. All of this will be running on multiple Xen hosts, however I don't think that matters as long as I make sure that the cluster nodes are on different physical boxes. Here are my ideas so far for the central storage: 1) NFS Server using DRBD+LinuxHA. Export the same NFS share to each mail server. Which this seems easy, how well does Dovecot work with NFS? I've read the wiki page, and it doesn't sound promising. But it may be outdated.. 2) Export block storage using iSCSI from targets which have GFS2 on DRBD+LinuxHA. This is tricky to get working well, and it's only a theory. 3) GlusterFS. Easy to set up, but apparently very slow to run. So what's everybody using? I know that Postfix runs well on NFS (according to their docs). I intend to use Maildir Thanks

[Dovecot] Questiosn about dbox
by Javier de Miguel Rodríguez 26 Jan '11

26 Jan '11

Hello I have read carefully about dbox (/http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/dbox/) and I have some questions: - One of the main advantages (speed wise) of dbox over maildir is that index files are the only storage for message flags and keywords. What happens when we want to recover some messages from backup? With maildir we can rebuild message indexes, but I am not sure about dbox. Should we also restore "old indexes" and merge with the "new indexes" in order to restore the deleted messages? - The previous question applies to sdbox and mdbox. In the case of mdbox, we can configure rotation of files using /mdbox_rotate_size/ . We would like to rotate daily, not based in size (our users ask us for yesterday's backup). How can we accomplish this? We have now 17.000.000 messages in our maildir, almost 1.5 TB (zlib compresssion enabled). Our backup time with bacula is rather bad: 24 hours for a full backup, most of the time the backup is busy fstat'ing all those little messages. We think that mdbox can help us in this. Does anybody has good experiences migrating from maildir->mdox in "large" enviroments? What about mdox performance & reliability? Thank you for your support Javier

[Dovecot] authentication methods : pam, passwd and then backup question. How to restrict the methods

Dear all, I noticed that incoming users were attempting to authenicate using several methods like pam sql. Eventually, they logged in. Is there a way for dovecot to only query a mysql backup for users, and skip the other methods? Examples from logs (via Roundcube webmail in this case, but the same messages appear with port 993) Jan 25 17:22:17 srv dovecot: auth-worker(default): pam(aa(a)bb.co.uk,127.0.0.1): pam_authenticate() failed: Authentication failure (password mismatch?)

[Dovecot] shared namespace subscription

I test dovecot 2.0.9 and i use a shared namespace. I use this to see inbox for user2 in shared namespace for user1. When user2 unsubscribe for inbox , the shared inbox disapear too from shared namespace in user1 list. This is normal ? I believe that whatever subscription has user2 , if the director is shared , only the indexes will be copyied from the original place, not along with the subscription.

[Dovecot] custom maildir location mapping
by Vlad Mazek 24 Jan '11

24 Jan '11

Greetings, I'm migrating from a sendmail/dovecot setup with system users to a postfix/dovecot maildir setup with virtual users. To simplify the mess we've gotten into by having users that can't remember their username, we've switched to email address being the username. In order to allow for a smooth migration, I need to allow users to be able to login with their email address as well as their (old) username for about a month or so. I have all the usernames, email addresses and passwords stored in SQL and I'm generating the userdb and passworddb manually. Is there any way to create a userdb and passworddb so that users can login with either username or email address and have dovecot locate their maildir without an issue? For example, I'd like to be able to login as either vlad or vlad(a)vladville.com and have dovecot locate my maildir:/var/spool/mail/%d/%n; I'd really appreciate any thoughts, ideas and examples anyone is willing to share. I'm really looking to avoid a shotgun approach ("On Feb 1, your new username is your email address"). Here are some notes on the currently functioning setup: I'm running dovecot 1.0.7 on CentOS 5.5 x64 with Postfix 2.3.3 mail_location = maildir:/var/spool/mail/%d/%n userdb static { args = uid=virtual gid=virtual home=/var/mail/%d/%u } passdb passwd-file { args = /etc/dovecot/passwd } user@domain.com:{HMAC-MD5}1b05f379...

[Dovecot] PAM problem with virtual domain/user ownership
by Mauricio Tavares 24 Jan '11

24 Jan '11

I am running dovecot 1.2.9 (ubuntu package, not from source) and wanted to use pam to authenticate my mail users who have no local accounts. I've done that before in an earlier release of dovecot and ubuntu, so I would not need to do set dovecot to ask LDAP directly. So, I have in dovecot.conf: # Authentication processes mechanisms = plain login passdb pam { args = "*" } userdb static { args = allow_all_users uid=virtual gid=virtual home=/var/spool/vmail/domain.com/%n } i.e. /var/spool/vmail/domain.com/ is owned by virtual:virtual, drwxr-x--- 4 virtual virtual 4.0K 2011-01-23 11:45 domain.com and that is how I would hope dovecot would be trying to login as. When I tried to login as user raub, the log file seems to tell me that it is trying to create /var/spool/vmail/domain.com/raub/cur as raub:users, not as virtual:virtual Jan 22 06:35:02 mail dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<raub>, method=PLAIN, rip=216.155.101.90, lip=216.155.101.94, TLS Jan 22 06:35:02 mail dovecot: IMAP(raub): mkdir(/var/spool/vmail/domain.com/raub/cur) failed: Permission denied (euid=5016(raub) egid=100(users) missing +w perm: /var/spool/vmail/domain.com) What am I missing here?

[Dovecot] SSD drives are really fast running Dovecot

[Dovecot] How to enable COPY and APPEND commands separately
by Alex Cherniak 24 Jan '11

24 Jan '11

I'd like to allow a user to move messages between his folders on Dovecot IMAP account, but prevent move/copy from different accounts (Exchange in particular). Outlook uses "xx UID COPY 1 folder" and then "xx UID STORE 1 +FLAGS (\Deleted \Seen)" for internal moves and "xx APPEND folder" for external ones. I tried to achieve this with ACL, but i (insert) seems to control both. Do I miss something? Should I look somewhere else? Please help.

[Dovecot] Dovecot Update on Ubuntu from 1.0.10 to 1.2 doesn't work
by franc walter 24 Jan '11

24 Jan '11

Hello, i have an ubuntu 8.04 LTS Virtual Server with Dovecot 1.0.10 and postfix. Now i tried to update Dovecot because i need Quota, which is not possible in 1.0 but in 1.2 So i added the packages to my /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://codex.xiaoka.com/apt hardy main restricted deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-backports main universe multiverse restricted and updated dovecot with aptitude. After this i killed the proc master and restarted postfix and dovecot but now dovecot is running but doesn't get any more mails from postfix. I had to downgrade back to 1.0.10 and after this all is working again. I immediately looked into the mail.log, but i didn't see any clear errors. I uploaded the mail.log here, maybe someone could give me a hint, what it could be: http://7fw.de/tmp/2011-01-24-23-38-mail.log I started the update at 2011-01-23 at 23:00 and downgraded back at 2011-01-24 at 00:26. In the error.log i only have errors about inotify, which is not available on the ubuntu server (old kernel version, cannot be updated by provider). I set in dovecot.conf: mail_debug=yes auth_debug=yes auth_debug_passwords=yes but this didn't help me. Thank you, Kind regards, franc walter

[Dovecot] Using dsync+imapc for migration from other IMAP servers to Dovecot
by Timo Sirainen 23 Jan '11

23 Jan '11

Dovecot v2.1 hg (http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.1) now supports doing e.g.: dsync -o plugin/imapc_user=remote.user(a)example.com -o plugin/pass=remote-password mirror imapc:imap.example.com dsync will preserve message UIDs and UIDVALIDITY/UIDNEXT values for mailboxes, just like with all other storage backends. A couple of bad things: 1) It currently fetches one message at a time from server. Very slow.. Will be fixed some day. 2) You can't do incremental sync, because dsync relies on message GUIDs, which aren't available in IMAP protocol. This could be fixed some day. Also a support for Dovecot extension could be added some day to make this work for Dovecot as remote IMAP server.

[Dovecot] Does dsync handle client-side deletions?
by Patrick Schoenfeld 21 Jan '11

21 Jan '11

Hi there, I'm currently evaluating the idea of a multi-master setup where each node shall hold a full copy of the mailboxes. Basically the idea is to use NFS and dsync to keep those copies in sync. So I did some tests with dsync and ran into a problem. Consider the following scenario: 1) Location1 and Location2 are in sync 2) A mail gets deleted on Location1 (via IMAP) 3) dsync mirror run to sync the two locations Expected behaviour: dsync notices that the mail was deleted on Location1 and also deletes it on Location2 to get the locations in sync. What I experience, however, is: dsync notices that the mail is missing on Location2 and copies it from Location1 to get the locations in sync. (At least) In debug mode it will spit a warning: dsync(test2): Info: INBOX: highest_modseq changed: 8 != 11 dsync(test2): Info: INBOX: Couldn't keep all uids dsync(test2): Info: INBOX: Ignored 1 modseq changes dsync(test2): Warning: Mailbox changes caused a desync. You may want to run dsync again. Now the question is: Doesn't dsync handle deletions or is there something I missed? Dovecot version is 2.0.9. Thanks in advance and best Regards, Patrick

[Dovecot] utility to update indexes ?
by Jan-Frode Myklebust 21 Jan '11

21 Jan '11

We have both dovecot and a webmail application that are both modifying our users maildirs, so dovecot indexes can be out of sync when the webmail has been messing with the maildirs. We also have a webservice that report how many unread messages a user has in his inbox, which is simply counting files in the maildirs (plus caching the result, and present old values if the directory timestamps hasn´t changed). I think this checking of unread messages webservice would be much nicer on the filesystem if it instead used the dovecot indexes, so I created a small utility based on utils/idxview.c that do that: http://blag.tanso.net/code/unread.c But this woun´t work if the maildir has been modified outside of dovecot (i.e. webmail usage). Are there any simple interface I can use in this short snippet for noticing that the index is out of sync, and update it ? -jf

[Dovecot] LMTP & home, chroot, mail userdb fields.
by Lev Serebryakov 21 Jan '11

21 Jan '11

Hello, Dovecot. I'm using postfix + dovecot with pure virtual users. postfix uses standard virtual transport, and dovecot fetches such fields from userdb: chroot: "/usr/home/hosted/v-mail/%d/%n" home: "/" mail: "maildir:." Everything works Ok -- dovecot founds users' mail. Now, after upgrade to dovecot2, I want to use it LMTP server as virtual_transport in postifx. I've changed virtual_transport setting to "lmtp:unix:/var/run/dovecot/lmtp". dovecot's LMTP can not deliver messages, because it seems that it uses userdb fields in some OTHER way. Errors look like this: Jan 20 12:19:25 lmtp(38939): Info: Connect from local Jan 20 12:19:25 auth: Info: mysql: Connected to /tmp/mysql.sock (mailhost) Jan 20 12:19:25 lmtp(38939, lev(a)domain.com) Error: mkdir(./cur) in directory /var/run/dovecot failed: Permission denied (euid=30000(v-mail) egid=30000(v-mail) missing +w perm: ., euid is not dir owner) Jan 20 12:19:25 lmtp(38939, lev(a)domain.com) Error: Opening INBOX failed: Mailbox doesn't exist: INBOX Jan 20 12:19:25 lmtp(38939, lev(a)domain.com) Error: mkdir(./cur) in directory /var/run/dovecot failed: Permission denied (euid=30000(v-mail) egid=30000(v-mail) missing +w perm: ., euid is not dir owner) Jan 20 12:19:25 lmtp(38939, lev(a)domain.com) Info: XXVtE00oOE0bmAAAWL5c8Q: msgid=unspecified: save failed to INBOX: Internal error occurred.

[Dovecot] Feature request - statistics for the COMPRESS imap protocol
by Ed W 21 Jan '11

21 Jan '11

Unless I have failed to read the manual for the second time in two days (?), it doesn't seem to be possible to get COMPRESS statistics at logout time from the IMAP protocol? Assuming not, then can I make a feature request that this might become available in some future version (pretty please?) Can I also just check that the meaning (as of today) of the "imap logout" statistics "%i/%o", presumably they refer to bytes over the wire, ie they are the compressed data sizes? Thanks - Dovecot 2 adds a fantastic bag of new features! Ed W

[Dovecot] Delivered-To header without +extension ?
by Per Jessen 21 Jan '11

21 Jan '11

I'm running postfix 2.6.2 and dovecot 2.0.9, and I've just switched to delivering mails to dovecot via lmtp. It looks like the Delivered-To: header is slightly different - it doesn't seem to include the +extension? Is this intentional or does the +extension somehow get in the way? /Per Jessen, Zürich

[Dovecot] Fwd: Re: Dotlock dovecot-uidlist errors / NFS / High Load
by list＠airstreamcomm.net 21 Jan '11

21 Jan '11

Stan, Thanks for the reply. In our case we have actually already done most of the work you suggested to no avail. We had rebuilt two new ntp servers that sync against two stratum 1 sources, and all our nfs clients, regardless of using dovecot, sync to those two machines. You bring up the difference between bare metal and hypervisor, and we are running these machines on vmware 4.0. All the vmware knowledge base articles tend to push us towards ntp, and since we are using centos 5.5 there are no kernel modifications that need to be made regarding timing from what we can find. I will give the ntpdate option a try and see what happens. I was also hoping to understand why the uidlist file is the only file that uses dotlock, or if there was plans to give it the option to use other locking mechanisms in the future. Thanks again!

In a clustered server environment, _always_ run a local physical box/router ntpd server (preferably two) that queries a set of external sources, and services your internal machine queries. With RTTs all on your LAN, and using the same internal time sources for every query, this clock drift issue should be eliminated. Obviously, when you first set this up, stop ntpd and run ntpdate to get an initial time sync for each cluster host. If after setting this up, and we're dealing with bare metal cluster member servers, then I'd guess you've got a failed/defective clock chip on one host. If this is Linux, you can work around that by changing the local time source. There are something like 5 options. Google for "Linux time" or similar. Or, simply replace the hardware--RTC chip, mobo, etc. If any of these cluster members are virtual machines, regardless of hypervisor, I'd recommend disabling using ntpd, and cron'ing ntpdate to run once every 5 minutes, or once a a minute, whatever it takes to get the times to remain synced, against your local ntpd server mentioned above. I got to the point with VMWare ESX that I could make any Linux distro VM of 2.4 or 2.6 stay within one minute a month before needing a manual ntdate against our local time source. The time required to get to that point is a total waste. Cron'ing ntpdate as I mentioned is the quick, reliable way to solve this issue, if you're using VMs. -- Stan

[Dovecot] Populating mailbox dir
by Mauricio Tavares 20 Jan '11

20 Jan '11

Let's say you created a (virtual) mail user but have not created the user mail directory. When you first try to access it, the mail directory is created and populated: ls -a /var/spool/vmail/domain.com/raub/ . dovecot.index.log dovecot-uidvalidity.4d375a39 tmp .. dovecot-uidlist new .Trash cur dovecot-uidvalidity subscriptions Who populates/creates the initial files and folders in the user mailbox? Dovecot? The mail client accessing it through imap? Elvis? If dovecot, is there a way to customize it a bit, so a few extra folders will also be thrown there?

[Dovecot] domain stripping
by PA 20 Jan '11

20 Jan '11

Hi, using dovecot 2.0 and I'm using a couple of user DBs, sql/prefetch and pam. Currently if the user logins with username@domain it authenticates off the sql DB and works fine. If the user logins with username with no @domain it fails on the sql lookup and succeeds on the pam user DB. However I was wondering if I can have another sql DB lookup that says when the user logins and fails against the first two user DBs, sql/pam db, to try this last sql user DB and appends a default domain to it, because the sql DB lists username with the domain. Currently I have all users login in with no realm on the older mail server and I wanted to migrate these users to dovecot 2.x with minimal impact and wanted to have the ability for these virtual users to login with and without a realm. Thanks paul.

[Dovecot] Bug found, assertion failed
by Tobias Daucher 20 Jan '11

20 Jan '11

Hi there, We're running dovecot 2.06, with mdbox. Following message was in our syslog: Jan 20 09:26:48 servername dovecot: [ID 583609 mail.crit] imap(user): Panic: file istream-limit.c: line 79: assertion failed: (v_offset <= lstream->v_size) The problem could be solved on client side, by just deleting the ImapMail-Folder in Thunderbird. Why? Thunderbird tried to move a message, that obviously wasn't there. Dovecot got killed and the message above was in the syslog. Connection was closed and Thunderbird told me the server is dead. Thunderbird tried this every few seconds, and there was no way to say thunderbird "stop try moving". So the only way was to delete thunderbirds mail cache. I think it would be very nice, if dovecot doesn't die, just because the client tries to move a message, which isn't there.

Its locking model is incredibly slow (500 locks/second on a filesystem mounted with quotas enabled and noatime) and results in dire performance - plus there's a known crash vulnerability if files are repeatedly renamed in large directories (this bites us regularly...) GFS2 isn't an "enterprise" filesystem by any stretch of the imagination, despite what a number of enthusiastic salespeople might try to convince you of. We're lucky to keep the GFS servers up for more than a week at a time.

[Dovecot] Upgrading from 1.2 to 2.0

Greetings Dovecot mailing list! We are an ISP that recently migrated from Courier to Dovecot, and are looking at the next round of upgrades. Hoping that we could get pointed to some documentation or get a general list of best practices for an upgrade from 1.2.13 to 2.0.9. Our current environment consists of four Dovecot machines that share an NFS backend hosting POP and IMAP. Our biggest question is whether we can support a rolling upgrade from 1.2.13 to 2.0.9, or if it would need to be an all for one cut. Thanks in advance.

[Dovecot] Problem with seeing mail after Upgrade from Courier
by apettitt 19 Jan '11

19 Jan '11

I created a new server for a webmail system because the old server crashed. When I created the server, I installed Dovecot and the old server had Courier. On the new server, I'm doing virtual users where the old one created system users. I moved all the folders over for all the users on to the new server and ran the Courier-Dovecot migration script. The files were created successfully with no issues. The issue I'm having now is that Dovecot is not seeing any mail in the user's directory. If I create a new user, it can send and receive mail with no problems. If I send an email to an existing user, it gets delivered to the new folder but dovecot does not see anything in the new folder. There is also mail in the curr folder that dovecot does not see. I'm using Roundcube as a webmail client but I've also tried using Telnet with the same results. Any ideas? -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Problem-with-seeing-mail-after-Upgrade-from-Courier-t… Sent from the Dovecot mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Dovecot] Duplicate mail for forwards (dovecot+postfix+postfixadmin)
by Darek M 19 Jan '11

19 Jan '11

Dovecot 1.2.11, using postfixAdmin 2.3 to manage, basically using the postfixadmin schema and sql queries during install. - If I set a forward for an account to go to a remote email address, no dupes. - If I set a forward for an account to go to an email address on the same system, I get a dupe in the inbox of the second address. So if account1(a)domain.com has account2(a)domain.com as a forward, account2@ receives two copies of the same message, completely identical, same message IDs, same md5 sum. If I add account3@ into the mix, account3@ will also receive two copies of each message. I will also get a duplicate if I forward mail to account(a)anotherdomain.com, where anotherdomain.com is also hosted on the same system. account1(a)domain.com receives one copy. Here is the Dovecot log: Jan 18 17:24:40 deliver(account2(a)domain.com): Info: msgid=<4D361323.3040000(a)srvr.net>: saved mail to INBOX Jan 18 17:24:40 deliver(account1(a)domain.com): Info: msgid=<4D361323.3040000(a)srvr.net>: saved mail to INBOX Jan 18 17:24:40 deliver(account2(a)domain.com): Info: msgid=<4D361323.3040000(a)srvr.net>: saved mail to INBOX Postfix logs only show one delivery for each message, and since the headers aren't changed at all, I think the lda is at fault here. This is the entry for the account in the 'alias' table ======================== mysql> select * from alias where address='account1(a)domain.com'; +-----------------------+----------------------------------------+------------+---------------------+---------------------+--------+ | address | goto | domain | created | modified | active | +-----------------------+----------------------------------------+------------+---------------------+---------------------+--------+ | account1(a)domain.com | account1@domain.com,account2@domain.com | nyinet.com | 2010-11-28 18:07:40 | 2011-01-18 17:04:03 | 1 | Anyone have an idea of what I should be looking at in a situation like this? Does the 'goto' field look fine? -- Darek

Hi there, I changed postfix to pass email to spamassassin, and then deliver to dovecot LDA. It fails to deliver. The current entry in master.cf now reads: dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -d ${recipient} smtp inet n - - - - smtpd -o content_filter=spamassassin spamassassin unix - n n - - pipe user=nobody argv=/usr/bin/spamc -f -e /usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -f ${sender} ${recipient} This is the same as I had to afore I factored in spamassassin. The error message is this:- Jan 18 16:30:44 logout postfix/pipe[28952]: 56AE58230A: to=<test(a)test.info>, relay=dovecot, delay=0.01, delays=0/0/0/0.01, dsn=5.3.0, status=bounced (command line usage error. Command output: Fatal: Unknown argument: flags=DRhu Usage: deliver [-c <config file>] [-a <address>] [-d <username>] [-p <path>] [-f <envelope sender>] [-m <mailbox>] [-n] [-s] [-e] [-k] ) Does anyone know which options I should have added to dovecot deliver?

[Dovecot] v2.0.9 released
by Timo Sirainen 18 Jan '11

18 Jan '11

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/dovecot-2.0.9.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/dovecot-2.0.9.tar.gz.sig I'm still lagging behind in my email, but I guess it's time to release v2.0.9 anyway. - Linux: Fixed a high system CPU usage / high context switch count performance problem - Maildir: Avoid unnecessarily reading dovecot-uidlist while opening mailbox. - Maildir: Fixed renaming child mailboxes when namespace had a prefix. - mdbox: Don't leave partially written messages to mdbox files when aborting saving. - Fixed master user logins when using userdb prefetch - lda: Fixed a crash when trying to send "out of quota" reply - lmtp: If delivering duplicate messages to same user's INBOX, create different GUIDs for them. This helps to avoid duplicate POP3 UIDLs when pop3_uidl_format=%g. - virtual storage: Fixed saving multiple mails in a transaction (e.g. copy multiple messages). - dsync: Saved messages' save-date was set to 1970-01-01.

[Dovecot] Question about indexes and maildir/sdbox/mdbox
by Javier de Miguel Rodríguez 17 Jan '11

17 Jan '11

Hello We are now running dovecot 2.0.9 with indexes in a ram disk and maildir storage in a test system. We have the following questions: - If there is a power outage / kernel crash, we will lose the content of ramdisk. We have tested that indexes are regenerated when a user logs in via imap, so e-mail access will be "slower" after a power outage / kernel crash, but everything should work as expected (TM). Are we missing something? - We are evaluating migrating from maildir to dbox. There are two alternatives: sdbox and mdbox. Reading about dbox in the wiki (http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/dbox) we see that using a ram disk for indexes for mdbox is a really bad idea: /"Note that with dbox the Index files actually contain significant data which is held nowhere else. Index files for both *single-dbox* and *multi-dbox* contain message flags and keywords. For *multi-dbox*, the index file also contains the map_uids which link (via the "map index") to the actual message data. This data cannot be automatically recreated, so it is important that Index files are treated with the same care as message data files."/ So in mdbox we should not use a ramdisk for indexes. But what about sdbox? sdbox indexes work as maildir indexes? Are sdbox indexes bigger than maildir indexes? Thank you very much for your support Regards Javier

[Dovecot] Running two different versions of Dovecot (was: making folders unmovable)
by Dave 17 Jan '11

17 Jan '11

OK, so I decided to go ahead and just upgrade to the latest 1 series Dovecot and see if that solves my ACL/config issues I've been having. (I tried compiling 2.0.9, but it errored out and I assume that's because it's a pretty old machine/compiler.) Anyway, 1.2.16 compiled fine, and I installed it in another location from the currently running 1.1 series install. I have this new install running (IMAP) on a non-standard port while I test it out, and it starts fine and all seems well. However, I'm wondering, is it OK to run it and have it look at the same Maildir mailboxes as the currently running 1.1 series install? Does that have the potential to mess with indexes or change anything in a bad way? (FWIW, I tried it briefly, and after changing the port number in and restarting my mail client [Thunderbird], it had trouble pulling up the mailbox I was trying to access.) David

This is pretty much what I do with the mail domain I administer. I've set the INBOX with a modest quota, and a personal mail folder with a generous quota. I encourage users to keep their INBOX as a "working set", and archive the rest using any method they prefer. It forces users to process their Email (or at least their INBOX). and keeps packratting in check. Super-big INBOX quotas seem to encourage wasteful habits. I've helped some users clean out their mailboxes and was surpised at the amount of junk being kept for years and years. Apart from a few users moaning about their meager INBOX, this policy works out fairly well. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

[Dovecot] Virtual mailboxes do not look into subfolders
by Paul Provost 17 Jan '11

17 Jan '11

Hi all, I have virtual mailboxes set up as "Smart Folders" to show me messages tagged with certain keywords. For example: # ~/Maildir-virtual/fwp/dovecot-virtual File MailingLists/* KEYWORD @fwp Messages get picked up from the File mailbox, but not for the sub-mailboxes inside the MailingLists mailbox. What am I doing wrong? Wrong separator? And how can I debug this? Everything else is working fine. Thanks a lot! Paul

[Dovecot] vpopmail disabled services fix
by Calvin 17 Jan '11

17 Jan '11

I noticed that disabling services using vpopmail was not being recognized by dovecot. Using "vmoduser -swip user(a)domain.com" should disable all services, but both pop and imap logins were still allowed. After a bit of digging in the code and confirming with a few debug lines, it appears that lines 38 and 52 of src/auth/passdb-vpopmail.c are the issue (dovecot 2.0.8). These two lines do a strcmp on request->service. It appears that request->service is in lower case, but the comparison values are in upper case. Either updating the values to lowercase or using strcasecmp should fix the issue.

[Dovecot] mail to admin when quota exceeded
by Karolis Žvaigždinas 16 Jan '11

16 Jan '11

We're using Dovecot v1.2.15 LDA/IMAP/POP3+MySQL with quota plugin, quota_rule per-user size, quota_exceed_message and quota_warning on storage=90%%.with script. Everything is working as expected. But I've been asked to configure it the way, that when a user gets message, which would make his maildir over quota limit, notification go not only to sender, but also to postmaster(a)domain.com. Browsed wiki, mailinglist archive - couldn't find anything on that. Is there a way to implement such feature? And what about possibility to send a message to user, notifying him about rejected email "from: xxx(a)yyy.com" with "subj: blah blah" due to full mailbox? Such messages are small and would not take too much space. Thus the user would know what he misses, urging him to clean his mailbox. Thank you in advance. -- Karolis

[Dovecot] [PATCH] auth: Fixed mech_winbind_ntlm by using mech_winbind_auth_initial()
by Christian Wiese 16 Jan '11

16 Jan '11

Hi folks, attached is a trivial patch which is fixing Winbind/NTLM authentication in dovecot 2.0 series. The patch was made against 2.0.8 sources, but there should be no problem applying it onto HEAD, because 'src/auth/mech-winbind.c' wasn't touched for quite some time now ;) I tested the patch with a dovecot 2.0.8 running on linux, authenticating against a WindowsServer 2008R2 Enterprise using ntlm_auth/winbind (from current stable samba 3.5.6). I successfully tested NTLM authentication for IMAP and POP3 (with and without STARTTLS) using following MUAs for the test: - Thunderbird 3.1.7 (Linux X86-64) - Outlook Express 6.00 (Windows XP Pro Qemu-KVM) Cheers, Chris Patch Description: In changeset 9002 a new function named mech_winbind_auth_initial() was introduced, but only the mech_winbind_spnego module part was changed to finally use this function. The mech_winbind_ntlm module part was not properly adapted which leads to a non functioning NTLM authentication mechanism while using winbind, because it will never call the `ntlm_auth` helper. The simple fix is to replace mech_generic_auth_initial() with mech_winbind_auth_initial() as auth_initial "hook" when setting up the mech_winbind_ntlm module, like it is done in the mech_winbind_spnego module. References: - Changeset 9002: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.0/diff/9d0037a997f4/src/auth/mech-winbind.c

[Dovecot] Seeing other people subscribed non-shared mailboxes
by Thomas Hummel 16 Jan '11

16 Jan '11

Hello Timo, With dovecot-2.0.8/Maildir, in a simple shared mailboxes setting I noticed the following : - user "doveimap" has 2 mailboxes : "Common" and "Private" - he shares only the "Common" mailbox to user "dovepop" doing : x setacl "Common" dovepop lrwstipekxacd x OK Setacl complete. - he subscribed to both x lsub "" * * LSUB () "." "Trash" * LSUB () "." "Common" * LSUB () "." "Private" x OK Lsub completed. I'm not realy sure if the fact that "dovepop" can see doveimap's subscribed "Private" mailbox in the "#Shared" namespace is legitimate or not : x login dovepop xxxxx x OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE SORT SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT IDLE CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE QRESYNC ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH LIST-STATUS ACL RIGHTS=texk] Logged in x list "" * * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "."

"#shared.doveimap.Private" x OK Lsub completed. x logout Is this the way it's supposed to work ? My setup is : namespace { type = shared separator = "." prefix = "#shared.%%u." location = maildir:/courriel/boites/%%u:INDEX=/var/dovecot-2/indexes/%1u/%u/shared/%%u:CONTROL=/courriel/meta/%%u # Use the default namespace for saving subscriptions. # subscriptions = no # hidden = no # list = no list = children } # pwd /courriel/boites/doveimap # cat dovecot-acl-list 1294755382 Common # cat .Common/dovecot-acl user=dovepop akxeilprwts # cat .Private/dovecot-acl cat: .Private/dovecot-acl: No such file or directory Also, I'm not sure I correctly understand what "Use the default namespace for saving subscriptions." option is. Is it just the location of the subscription file for mailboxes subscribed in the shared namespace ? Where would it be if set to "yes" ?

[Dovecot] dovecot lda and quota plugin with mysql

Hi, I have a user called archive that gets a BCC of all incoming/outgoing email. I would like to have the email in the new/cur directories setup to be read only, is there a way to do this in dovecot 2.0.8. I know you can set the umask in the dovecot config but I believe this is a global setting. Thanks, Paul

[Dovecot] Rename public folders
by Burian, John 16 Jan '11

16 Jan '11

I've got a number of public mailboxes configured for my users. We pretty much have to use Entourage for a client, which insists on creating all new subfolders with the name 'Untitled Folder'. When they try to rename these subfolders with useful names, Dovecot returns A028 NO [CANNOT] Renaming not supported across non-private namespaces. I guess this is because renaming a subfolder could potentially break subscriptions for other users? Or is it a hard requirement from IMAP RFC? If the former, is the problem merely very complicated, but eventually fixable, or is it just intractable? We're using Dovecot 2.0.7 from the atrpms RPM, Redhat EL 5.0. The public mailbox namespace is configured with: namespace { type = public prefix = Public/ separator = / hidden = no list = yes inbox = no subscriptions = no location = maildir:/data/imapmail/public:LAYOUT=fs } -- John Burian Systems Programmer Battelle Center for Mathematical Medicine The Research Institute At Nationwide Children's Hospital 614-355-5686 John.burian(a)nationwidechildrens.org ----------------------------------------- Confidentiality Notice: The following mail message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.

In the real world of an ISP, killing 99% of all spam before it hits the storage is unthinkable. We only block spam that is guaranteed to be unwanted, mostly based on technical facts that can't ever happen in normal email. But email that our scanning system flags as probable spam, is just that, probable spam. We can not just throw that away, because in the real world, there are always, and I mean always, false positives. It is unthinkable to throw false positives away. So we have to put these emails in a spam folder in case the user wants to look at it. We block about 40% of all spam on technical grounds, our total spam percentage is 90%, so still about 80% of all customer email reaching the storage is spam. > > But in other environments throwing away all probable spam may be perfectly fine.

Currently mostly in database servers, but our experiences have been good enough that we're slowly starting to add them to more systems as even boot drives. But we're not using them yet in email storage. Like Brad we're using Netapp filers because as far as I know they're one of the few commercially available HA filesystem companies. We've looked at EMC and Sun as well, but havent found a reason to move away from Netapp. In 12 years of netapp we've only had 1 major outage that lasted half a day (and made the front page of national news papers). So, understand that bit. Major outages make it to national news papers for us. HA, failover, etc are kind of important to us. > > So why not build something ourselves and use SSD? I suppose we could, but it's not as easy as it sounds for us. (your mileage may vary). It would take significant amounts of engineering time, testing, migrating, etc etc. And the benefits are uncertain. We dont know if an open source HA alternative can give us another 12 years of virtually faultless operation. It may. It may not. Email is not something to start gambling with. People get kind of upset when their email disappears. We know what we've got with Netapp. > > I did dabble in using SSD for indexes for a while, and it looked very promising. Certainly indexes are a prime target for SSD drives. But when the director matured, we started using the director and the netapp for indexes again. I may still build my own NFS server and use SSD drives just for indexes, simply to offload IOPS from the Netapp. Indexes are a little less scary to experiment with. > > So, if you're in the position to try out SSD drives for indexes or even for storage, go for it.

[Dovecot] Can I get rid of the fchown log messages?
by Maarten Bezemer 16 Jan '11

16 Jan '11

Hi, Since upgrading dovecot version (from somewhat ancient to 1.2.16), I see messages in the logs like these: Jan 15 00:55:17 srv0303 dovecot: POP3(obm03): fchown(/home/obm/obm03/mail/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.tmp, -1, 8(mail)) failed: Operation not permitted (egid=1033(obm), group based on /var/mail/obm03) I know that this is because the mailbox in /var/mail has ownership username:mail. However, in this setup this is intentional, and quota-related (quota on inbox is enforced by Exim, not Dovecot, and kernel does group-quota but not for group mail). Also, group read rights for group mail are intentional. >From what I read on this list, it has something to do with shared folders. I did not (at least it wasn't my intention) configure users' inboxes as shared folders. So, is there a way to disable these log messages, or, to disable Dovecot's attempts to try to change the owner/group of the index/cache/log files when these are inside the user's private ~/mail folder? More specifically, is there a way to do this without changing anything to users' inbox permissions? Thanks, Maarten

[Dovecot] fs quota backend bug
by Jan Škoda 16 Jan '11

16 Jan '11

Hi, I maintain postfix mailserver with sudo enabled dovecot LDA using multiple uids. I want to enforce quotas per-unix-user (which can have multiple domains with multiple emails set up using postfixadmin), so I have set up a FS quota backend with imap_quota plugin. Unfortunately, the quota appears to work (when i disable chrooting) according to dovecot-info.log, but doesn't send anything over IMAP. I found several topics related to this bug in this mailing list, but without any reply. All files in Maildir belong to unix-user ofight (1042) # sudo -u ofight quota Disk quotas for user ofight (uid 1042): Filesystem blocks quota limit files quota limit /dev/mapper/vg-home 2058888 2150400 2365440 35432 537600 591360 Info: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap Info: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap/lib10_quota_plugin.so Info: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap/lib11_imap_quota_plugin.so Info: Effective uid=1042, gid=102, home=/home/vmail/ofight.org/team@ofight.org/ Info: Quota root: name=Kvota backend=fs args=mount=/home Info: Namespace: type=private, prefix=, sep=., inbox=yes, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes Info: maildir: data=/home/vmail/ofight.org/team@ofight.org/ Info: maildir++: root=/home/vmail/ofight.org/team@ofight.org, index=, control=, inbox=/home/vmail/ofight.org/team@o fight.org Info: fs quota add storage dir = /home/vmail/ofight.org/team(a)ofight.org Info: fs quota block device = /dev/mapper/vg-home Info: fs quota mount point = /home Info: fs quota mount type = jfs Info: Namespace: type=private, prefix=INBOX., sep=., inbox=no, hidden=yes, list=no, subscriptions=yes Info: maildir: data=/home/vmail/ofight.org/team@ofight.org/ Info: maildir++: root=/home/vmail/ofight.org/team@ofight.org, index=, control=, inbox= Info: Namespace : Using permissions from /home/vmail/ofight.org/team(a)ofight.org: mode=0700 gid=-1 Info: Disconnected: Logged out bytes=133/834 Part of IMAP conversation captured with wireshark: getquotaroot "INBOX" QUOTAROOT "INBOX" Ok Getquotaroot completed Part of strace: read(0, "357 getquotaroot \"INBOX\"\r\n", 1259) = 26 stat("/home/vmail/ofight.org/team(a)ofight.org/tmp", {st_dev=makedev(253, 2), st_ino=475158, st_mode=S_IFDIR|0700, st_nlink=2, st_uid=1042, st_gid=102, st_b lksize=4096, st_blocks=0, st_size=1, st_atime=2011/01/16-10:07:59, st_mtime=2011/01/16-10:07:59, st_ctime=2011/01/16-10:07:59}) = 0 stat("/home/vmail/ofight.org/team(a)ofight.org", {st_dev=makedev(253, 2), st_ino=475157, st_mode=S_IFDIR|0700, st_nlink=11, st_uid=1042, st_gid=102, st_blks ize=4096, st_blocks=16, st_size=4096, st_atime=2009/05/18-12:07:57, st_mtime=2011/01/16-11:36:32, st_ctime=2011/01/16-11:36:32}) = 0 stat("/home/vmail/ofight.org/team(a)ofight.org", {st_dev=makedev(253, 2), st_ino=475157, st_mode=S_IFDIR|0700, st_nlink=11, st_uid=1042, st_gid=102, st_blks ize=4096, st_blocks=16, st_size=4096, st_atime=2009/05/18-12:07:57, st_mtime=2011/01/16-11:36:32, st_ctime=2011/01/16-11:36:32}) = 0 stat("/home/vmail/ofight.org/team(a)ofight.org/dovecot-shared", 0x3f5aa9cf710) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat("/home/vmail/ofight.org/team(a)ofight.org", {st_dev=makedev(253, 2), st_ino=475157, st_mode=S_IFDIR|0700, st_nlink=11, st_uid=1042, st_gid=102, st_blks ize=4096, st_blocks=16, st_size=4096, st_atime=2009/05/18-12:07:57, st_mtime=2011/01/16-11:36:32, st_ctime=2011/01/16-11:36:32}) = 0 stat("/home/vmail/ofight.org/team(a)ofight.org", {st_dev=makedev(253, 2), st_ino=475157, st_mode=S_IFDIR|0700, st_nlink=11, st_uid=1042, st_gid=102, st_blks ize=4096, st_blocks=16, st_size=4096, st_atime=2009/05/18-12:07:57, st_mtime=2011/01/16-11:36:32, st_ctime=2011/01/16-11:36:32}) = 0 access("/home/vmail/ofight.org/team(a)ofight.org/cur", W_OK) = 0 setsockopt(1, SOL_TCP, TCP_CORK, [1], 4) = 0 write(1, "* QUOTAROOT \"INBOX\"\r\n357 OK Getq"..., 53) = 53 # 1.2.16: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-hardened-r31 x86_64 Gentoo Base System release 2.0.0 jfs base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/ log_path: /var/log/dovecot.log info_log_path: /var/log/dovecot-info.log protocols: imap imaps pop3 pop3s managesieve listen: *, [::] ssl_cert_file: /etc/apache2/ssl/server.pem ssl_key_file: /etc/apache2/ssl/server.key disable_plaintext_auth: no shutdown_clients: 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 login_executable(managesieve): /usr/libexec/dovecot/managesieve-login login_greeting: Dovecot ready.

[Dovecot] v2.0.9 -segfault in lib21_fts_solr_plugin.so
by G.Nau 16 Jan '11

I've checked my setup - the guest is not set to sync with the VMware host. NTP is running with local clock server commented out & 'tinker panic 0' set. It sounds like this is not a Dovecot issue so I'll stop posting to this list now and seek help elsewhere. What negative effects to Dovecot would I expect to see where the system clock is constantly changing?

[Dovecot] Check if a message has attachments
by Antoine Nguyen 14 Jan '11

14 Jan '11

Hi all, my question is not specific to Dovecot but to the IMAP protocol in general. I'm working on a web based software that provides a simple webmail ( http://modoboa.org/) I'm wondering what would an efficient way to detect if a message (or a group of messages) has attachments. I know it certainly consists in checking for specific MIME constructions but how to achieve that without fetching the whole body for each message? Thanks in advance, Antoine Nguyen

[Dovecot] Running two different versions of Dovecot (was: making folders unmovable)
by David Salisbury 14 Jan '11

14 Jan '11

OK, so I decided to go ahead and just upgrade to the latest 1 series Dovecot and see if that solves my ACL/config issues I've been having. (I tried compiling 2.0.9, but it errored out and I assume that's because it's a pretty old machine/compiler.) Anyway, 1.2.16 compiled fine, and I installed it in another location from the currently running 1.1 series install. I have this new install running (IMAP) on a non-standard port while I test it out, and it starts fine and all seems well. However, I'm wondering, is it OK to run it and have it look at the same Maildir mailboxes as the currently running 1.1 series install? Does that have the potential to mess with indexes or change anything in a bad way? (FWIW, I tried it briefly, and after changing the port number in and restarting my mail client [Thunderbird], it had trouble pulling up the mailbox I was trying to access.) David

Thanks, I've read through that document a couple of times now & I'm fairly sure my system 'ticks all the boxes' yet the warning messages continues. I can see no noticeable time discrepancy when I do periodic time checks from the command line comparing against another system's clock - certainly not 2 minute error margin Could this be a time mismatch between imap client & server?

[Dovecot] email addresses as usernames with Kerberos
by Peter Mogensen 14 Jan '11

14 Jan '11

Hi, I was trying out Kerberos authentication with som sample users for Dovecot and stumbled into this problem: The user names are of the form local-part@domain, so the Kerberos principal becomes "local-part\@domain@REALM". But it seems Dovecot (1.2.9) doesn't understand that syntax. Looking at the 2.0.8 sources I guess it's not supported. But isn't this a valid Kerberos principal? Is it a bug, or a missing feature or is there a special reason for not supporting it ? kind regards, Peter

Re: [Dovecot] Making shared folders "unmovable"
by Dave 13 Jan '11

13 Jan '11

Well, I just noticed this in my logs after I re-loaded the latest Dovecot config I tried: Jan 13 15:09:45 mail dovecot: SIGHUP received - reloading configuration Jan 13 15:09:45 mail dovecot: read(imap dump-capability process) failed: Interrupted system call Jan 13 15:09:45 mail dovecot: Invalid configuration, keeping old one Jan 13 15:09:45 mail dovecot: child 2085 (unknown) returned error 82 (Internal logging error) It's apparently been doing this every time I've reloaded the config, so this is probably why none of my changes with the ACLs are working. :/ Any thoughts on what could be causing this kind of error?? Does that error just basically mean something's set wrong somewhere in dovecot.conf? David

The 3.x branch is rock solid. There have been no crashes (yet!) Would DRBD + GFS2 work better than NFS? While NFS is simple, I don't mind experimenting with DRBD and GFS2 is it means fewer problems?

[Dovecot] Denying authentication
by Romer Ventura 13 Jan '11

13 Jan '11

Hello, I've been running dovecot for over 3 years now and it works with no problems. I have it setup so that it authenticates users against Active Directory via LDAP and so far no problems. What I would like to know is if there is any way that I could deny access for users trying to access email via cellphones or email clients outside the company. I can close everything since there are a few users that need to get emails from outside the company via cell phone of email clients. I was thinking if there was a way to lets say create a group in AD named: "remote-email" that will allow connection and authentication from any network, any user not in that group will only be able to authenticate if the source is 192.168.xx.xx/24. Is this possible? Maybe not with Dovecot, but maybe someone else has any ideas..? Thanks -------- Romer Ventura

[Dovecot] Making shared folders "unmovable"
by Dave 12 Jan '11

12 Jan '11

I have set up an area of shared folders with Dovecot 1.2 that is accessed by several people (by way of one account, and everyone who logs in sees these same folders), and the only problem with this setup is that occasionally somebody moves one of the folders underneath another folder or somewhere else in the folder structure, and this sometimes disrupts some automatic procmail filters and the like. Is there a way to keep folders in a shared setup such as this "static" or "unmovable" so that the users can't disrupt the structure? Like, where the folder structure itself can't be changed, but new messages can still come in to the folders? David

[Dovecot] How do folk . . . Aggregate system mail from LAN machines?
by Ron Leach 12 Jan '11

12 Jan '11

List, good evening, Running Dovecot for external email, but not yet worked out how (best) to aggregate 'system' mail from other machines on the LAN. By system mail, I mean mails generated by the OS or by applications, and addressed to root, or 'some admin user', etc. Ideally, these would be seen by 'root' or 'some admin user' or whoever on our existing Dovecot/IMAP system. Our scale is not large, we only have 5 servers on the LAN doing various things. I wondered how other Dovecot users do this. I've thought of 3 possibilities: 1. Install Dovecot on each LAN machine, and use Fetchmail to retrieve the messages using POP so that local mail stores were emptied. 2. Perhaps, use a 'forwarding' mechanism of some sort on each LAN machine, but that would require an MTA on each LAN machine, would it not? 3. I wondered whether /etc/alias, mentioned in a recent post by Simone Caruso, might help though again, presumably, requiring an MTA on each LAN machine. What do you do? regards, Ron

[Dovecot] Question about lda & auth_socket_path
by Jahnke-Zumbusch, Dirk 12 Jan '11

Hi all, storing e-mails (using postfix) via dovecot-lda fails and I assume this is related with a auth_socket configuration problem. But I am at a dead end, so perhaps anybody has got a hint for me: This is dovecot-2.0.8 on Solaris 10: 10-auth.conf and its include: ----------------------------- ... userdb { driver = static args = uid=104 gid=104 home=/some/path/%u } Relevant parts of 10-mail.conf: --------------------------------- ... auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb Relevant parts of 10-master.conf: --------------------------------- ...service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { mode = 0644 user = vmail #group = } } service auth-worker { user = root } Relevant parts of 15-lda.conf: --------------------------------- ... protocol lda { # Space separated list of plugins to load (default is global mail_plugins). #mail_plugins = $mail_plugins } # ls -l /var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb srw-r--r-- 1 vmail root 0 Jan 12 15:49 /var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb Using dovecot-lda for mail delivery or doveadm for user inquirement fails: via debug_log_path: ------------------- Jan 12 16:04:14 auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /dovecot/code/dovecot-2.0.8/lib/dovecot/auth Jan 12 16:04:14 auth: Debug: passwd-file /store1/db/masterusers.passwd: Read 1 users Jan 12 16:04:14 auth: Debug: master in: USER 1 djahnke service=lda Jan 12 16:04:14 auth: Debug: password(djahnke): passdb doesn't support credential lookups Jan 12 16:04:14 auth: Debug: master out: FAIL 1 Jan 12 16:04:14 lda: Debug: auth input: via syslog: ----------- Jan 12 16:04:14 deliver1 dovecot: [ID 583609 local0.error] auth: Error: static(djahnke): passdb doesn't support lookups, can't verify user's existence Jan 12 16:04:14 deliver1 dovecot: [ID 583609 local0.error] lda: Error: user djahnke: Auth USER lookup failed Jan 12 16:04:14 deliver1 dovecot: [ID 583609 local0.crit] lda: Fatal: Internal error occurred.

[Dovecot] mail quota dovecot 1.2.15-3
by J4 12 Jan '11

12 Jan '11

Dear all, I am attempting to enforce quota with Dovecot 1.2.15-3 using LDA for deliver. I use smtp-source (postfix) to deliver large messages but the quota is never noticed. The webmail interface is Roundcube, and the admin is performed using Postfixadmin. I have not looked into the postfix portion for quota, yet. Is there something that I have missed from the configuration?

[Dovecot] Refilter Mailboxes via Sieve - Missing delivered-to header
by Dieter Knopf 12 Jan '11

12 Jan '11

Hello, i already read http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/RefilterMail but it won't work here :( I have many old mails in my folders and need to refilter many of them. But there are many mails without a delivered-to-header. What can i do? Error: Configuration error: envelope_recipient specified header missing (delivered-to:1) Would be okay if getmail would just skip the mail, but it cancels. Not sure if there is any way around. This is the config: [retriever] type = MultidropIMAPSSLRetriever envelope_recipient = delivered-to:1 server = foo port = 993 username = foo password = foo mailboxes = ("INBOX.REFILTER",) move_on_delete = INBOX.trash [destination] type = MDA_external path = /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver arguments = ("-e", "-f", "%(sender)", "-d", "%(recipient)") user = vmail group = vmail [options] delete = true recieved = false delivered_to = false verbose = 2 I'm using virtual users, so i must use Multidrop.

[Dovecot] Connection queue full on my directors
by Jan-Frode Myklebust 11 Jan '11

11 Jan '11

I finally upgraded to v1.2.16 on my backend servers, with ldap instead of previously mysql, and put a couple of dovecot v2.0.8 directors in front of them (used haproxy previously). It seemed to work OK initially, but after a few hours we got bit by "Connection queue full" problems on the directors. So I now set default_process_limit=512 and also: service anvil { client_limit=1027 } since dovecot said that was now required. Things seems to be working, but I'm afraid default_process_limit=512 is too low: $ ps -ef|grep dovecot/pop3-login|wc -l 192 $ ps -ef|grep dovecot/imap-login|wc -l 472 so looks like I'm quite close to hitting this limit for my imap logins. We will eventually put up some webmail servers (using imapproxy to keep connections alive), that will be connecting over these directors. Then we will expect to have a lot more active imap sessions over these directors. Should we just keep increasing default_process_limit, or per service process_limit, and follow dovecots warnings about client_limits for auth/anvil.. or will we be getting into other problems like running out of file descriptors? Are there any max'es we should expect to run into ?

[Dovecot] Dovecot - AllowGroups option
by Jacob Neergaard Pedersen 11 Jan '11

11 Jan '11

Hi, I'm trying to control access to different services on an Debian server using /etc/group. So that a user I create for FTP usage doesn't fill up my server with IMAP folders or samba garbage. Services like proftpd have: "AllowGroup ftpgroup" sshd have "AllowGroups sshgroup" And samba have "valid users = @smbgroup" But I can't find the correct option in Dovecot (/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf) Do anyone have the magic option or a workaround thats doesn't envolve maintaining seperate user databases and password? (I know its needed for samba but besides that) /Neergaard

[Dovecot] utility to copy/sync IMAP mailboxes
by Don Buchholz 11 Jan '11

11 Jan '11

Well, my Dovecot server (v2.0.8) is up and running, and now it's time to migrate mailboxes from the old mail server [Lotus Domino Release 5.0.8] running on Windows NT 4.0 [ancient -- been the mail server since Aug-2000]. I saw "dsync(1)" and thought my troubles were over. Only I can't figure out how to make it work with the NT/Domino server as a source for mailboxes. I guess dsync(1) works only in completely *nix environment. I've been trying the imapcopy.pl script from the IMAP Tools web page (http://www.athensfbc.com/imap_tools/) but it is having problems with Notes' choice of the backslash (\) character as a mailbox (namespace?) delimiter. Any suggestions for a stable, reliable (copy/duplicate/mirror/sync) tool that can do the job using only IMAP access? (No SSL support required.) Thanks in advance, - Don

[Dovecot] Max number of mail processes
by Patrick Nudo 11 Jan '11

11 Jan '11

Dovecot version 1.1.11. Error: Maximum number of mail processes exceeded (see max_mail_processes setting). I can't seem to get rid of these errors. I get batches of these errors about 4 or 5 times a day. I have a cron-job checking for the existence of this error and then I reboot dovecot when I see this error, but what is causing this error ? What I am reading on the Internet about this particular issue has not helped to resolve the issue. I would really like to know how many mail processes it thinks that it is using at any one instant in time. Is this possible ? Maybe then I can track the reason for the error.

[Dovecot] enforce STARTTLS on port 110 with POP3?
by Zhou, Yan 11 Jan '11

11 Jan '11

Hi there, We are using DoveCot 1.0.7. User will use POP3 or POP. We want to force user to securely send their credential and keep a secure connection between us and them. We can do TLS/SSL on port 995, or STARTTLS on port 110. The problem is that we have no way to enforce STARTTLS on 110, user can connect to DoveCot on port 110, sending user credential without STARTTLS (thus insecure). Reading DoveCot documentation does not sound it supports this. Here is what I got from documentation. Dovecot supports: * IMAP (including TLS/STARTTLS) * IMAP+SSL ("imaps") * POP3 (including TLS/STLS) * POP3+SSL ("pops") My only option to enforce securely sending user credential is to enable port 995 and disable port 110, sound right?

[Dovecot] Multiple Authentication Databases

Hi Everyone, I wish to run Dovecot on my "Front End" outbound mail relay, and use Dovecot purely for authentication purposes. However, each mysql database for each domain will be on a separate server. Is there a way for dovecot to authenticate against different databases depending on domain name? Thanks

[Dovecot] OS X Server Partition Problems
by Bryan Harrison 11 Jan '11

11 Jan '11

I'm a nube to Dovecot and this list. Please be kind. ;) I'm running Dovecot 1.1.20 and Postfix 2.5.5 on OS X Server 10.6.6. I've moved accounts from another, older cyrus-based server (thank god), and used fetchmail to imap the existing mail to the new server. At some point, I developed a problem with my partition map being semi-ignored. Mail is stored in multiple places, and I'm not sure why or entirely clear how it ended up there. My log is overflowing with entries such as… Jan 10 15:44:57 gilded-bat dovecot[65]: auth(default): od(john_doe_com): unable to find partition for tag=johndoe: using default mail location: /var/spool/imap/dovecot/mail …referring to each of my defined partitions. Here's what I semi-understand. /etc/dovecot/partition_map.conf.default contains: default:/var/spool/imap/dovecot/mail /etc/dovecot/partition_map.conf contains correct entries like default:/Mail JohnDoe:/Groups/JohnDoe/Mail [etc.] dovecotd -n is below. It's configuration with regard to mail store locations look ok to me, but then I'm a virgin. In practice, mail is being stored in three different locations. They're all full of mail directories and are busy. /var/spool/imap/dovecot/mail /Mail /Groups/JohnDoe/Mail …with of course the third entry being many entries for each client. The directories described definitely exist. Clients started out being able to see old mail that was transferred from the retired server, but no longer do. I'm not actually clear which of the three mail stores in use are being accessed by whom or for what. (And let's not even ask why none of this showed up in testing.) In short, I'm over my head and the villagers are outside with the usual pitchforks and torches. Thanks, Bryan dovecotd -n # 1.1.20apple0.5: /private/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf Warning: fd limit 256 is lower than what Dovecot can use under full load (more than 356).

[Dovecot] dsync not copying all mail
by Nick Rosier 10 Jan '11

10 Jan '11

Hi, I'm still trying to migrate from Dovecot 1.2.16 to 2.0.7 on FreeBSD. Previous attempts have failed with mails not being visible after the upgrade. Version 1.2.16 was migrated from maildir to dbox about a year ago via the convert-plugin. After previous attempts to "clean" the hybrid maildir-dbox situation I used imapsync to copy all mails from the old account to a new account. I would assume in this case I get a clean dbox-mailmap. I tried to run dsync on this new map but noticed a lot of mails are not syncing: [vmail@mail ~]$ find /vmail2/new/bunbun.be/nick | wc -l 5329 [vmail@mail ~]$ find /vmail2/old/bunbun.be/nick | wc -l 6134 Any ideas? N.

[Dovecot] Last login
by Egbert Jan van den Bussche 10 Jan '11

10 Jan '11

Hi, I'm trying to find a way to find inactive users. Is there a simple way to deduct the last login date of a user from that users Maildir files? Are the timestamps on the index files reliable? I ask because the system and dovecot logs are not available to me but I can search the whole .../vmail/domain/user/Maildir tree. I'n running 1.2.9 on ububtu 10.04 LTS with posttfix and postfixadmin. The users (all are virtual) reside in the postfixadmin MySQL tables. TNX Egbert Jan (NL)

[Dovecot] Urgent problem: Dovecot fetches the same mails multiple times per POP
by Andi Meier 10 Jan '11

10 Jan '11

I have a problem since a couple of hours: I manage several mboxes on a virtual server using Dovecot (over POP3). Until a few hours ago, it worked well, but since 11:50, the e-mail clients which access Dovecot's mailboxes, receive all e-mails new each time the mailbox is queried. For example: 15:40 fetches 22 new mails 15:41 fetches the same 22 mails again as new 15:42 fetches the same 22 mails again as new etc. Dovecot version is 1.0.15 on Debian Lenny. How can I fix this? How can I diagnose what's wrong? The mailbox files themselves seem ok, no dupe messages. I noticed that in the /var/log/mail.log Dovecot says: ------- START --------- Jan 10 15:27:08 lvps87-230-81-99 dovecot: POP3(office): Disconnected: Logged out top=0/0, retr=23/6273313, del=23/23, size=6272894 Jan 10 15:40:02 lvps87-230-81-99 dovecot: POP3(office): Effective uid=1002, gid=1002 Jan 10 15:40:02 lvps87-230-81-99 dovecot: POP3(office): mbox: data=/var/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/office Jan 10 15:40:02 lvps87-230-81-99 dovecot: POP3(office): mbox: root=/var/mail, index=/var/mail, inbox=/var/mail/office Jan 10 15:40:02 lvps87-230-81-99 dovecot: POP3(office): mbox sync: Expunged message reappeared in mailbox /var/mail/office (UID 3234 < 3261, seq=2, idx_msgs=0) Jan 10 15:40:02 lvps87-230-81-99 dovecot: pop3-login: Login: user=<office>, method=PLAIN, rip=80.122.113.70, lip=87.230.81.99 Jan 10 15:40:02 lvps87-230-81-99 dovecot: POP3(office): mbox sync: UID inserted in the middle of mailbox /var/mail/office (3261 > 3234, seq=2, idx_msgs=24) Jan 10 15:40:02 lvps87-230-81-99 dovecot: POP3(office): mbox sync: UID inserted in the middle of mailbox /var/mail/office (3285 > 3234, seq=2, idx_msgs=24) Jan 10 15:40:22 lvps87-230-81-99 dovecot: POP3(office): mbox sync: UID inserted in the middle of mailbox /var/mail/office (3309 > 3234, seq=2, idx_msgs=24) Jan 10 15:40:22 lvps87-230-81-99 dovecot: POP3(office): Disconnected: Logged out top=2/0, retr=24/6274745, del=24/24, size=6274309 ------- END --------- What puzzles me: Each time the retr=XX value is never decreasing. Shouldn't it be 0/xxxxx the next time when the mails are not kept on the server? Apparently Dovecot does not manage to remove the mails form the mbox, although the email client tells it so (=> del=24/24) Is this the problem? How can I check this? I am very thankful for any hints! Cheers, Andi

[Dovecot] size of "m.XXX" in mdbox
by Joan Moreau 10 Jan '11

Hi, How to tune the size of each "m.xxx" file in mdbox format , in order to optimize the ratio size/number of files ? (I can see for instance more than 100 000 files in one directory due to very large mailbox size) If such parameter exists, what is the typical value ? Thanks Joan

Or use sendmail binary from something else than Courier. Yes i'm using sendmail from Courier. When i changed sendmail_path to original sednmail binary it's working and vacation is sent, but i can see some errors from sendmail.

[Dovecot] CatchAll virtual user removes spamheaders
by Peter Reinhold 09 Jan '11

09 Jan '11

Hi all, I am having a small problem with a catch-all user I have setup in my Postfix/Dovecot setup. I am not 100% sure this is Dovecot related, but, logic tells me it is. I have a virtual user called @reinhold.dk setup to redirect to my main account, peter(a)reinhold.dk. If I send a spam mail (GTUBE) to peter(a)reinhold.dk, the mail is marked with Amavis x-headers as it should be. If I send the same mail to peterpeter(a)reinhold.dk, I can see in my maillog that the mail is PASSED SPAMMY, just as the first one, but when I check the mail, all amavis x-headers are missing. (Except one, X-Spam-Virus-Scanned:, which just informs me that the mail has passed through the scanner) Does anyone know if this is a Dovecot issue? (It seems so to me), and if so, any hints on how I can change this behaviour? Kind Regards, Peter Reinhold - peter(a)reinhold.dk > http://www.reinhold.dk & http://www.geekhouse.dk < -- QOTD : Mit internet er der ikke noget porn på .. Det er helt vildt nederen. ..

[Dovecot] can not receive external emails
by Daminto Lie 09 Jan '11

09 Jan '11

Hi, I am new to Dovecot. Recently I have got a new server running on Ubuntu Server 10.04 with Postfix, Dovecot (for IMAP) and Squirrelmail. During the test, I was able to send & receive emails internally, and can send emails externally. However, I got a problem when it comes to receiving emails externally. The emails I sent from yahoo never arrived to my local inbox. Anyway, I checked the mail.log and found the following dovecot: auth-worker(default): dovecot-auth: /usr/locallib/liblber-2.4.so.2" no version information available (required by dovecot-auth) dovecot: auth-worker(default): dovecot-auth: /usr/locallib/libldap_r-2.4.so.2" no version information available (required by dovecot-auth) dovecot: auth-worker(default): dovecot-auth: /usr/locallib/libldap-r-2.4.so.2" no version information available (required by /usr/lib/libpq.so.5) I was wondering if anyone might be kind to explain the above error messages and how to work around this so that it could send/receive emails coming from external mail server. Thank you in advance

[Dovecot] IMAP Clients can not see 3rd tier nested IMAP directories
by jjs87＠cornell.edu 08 Jan '11

08 Jan '11

I have a very bizarre problem that I hope someone can help me with. I am not sure if this is a Dovecot problem, or IMAP client problem. I recently used Transend's Migrator to move mail from Exchange 2007 to my Dovecot 1.0.7 server. The program seems to have moved the nested IMAP dirs properly as seen below in a directory listing of the maildir dir. The nested dirs have indexes, cur, new dirs as expected. However, when the account is viewed in Windows Thunderbird 3.1.6 or Outlook 2010 the 3rd tier dirs are not seen, nor can they be subscribed to. On a whim, I decided to try Apple Mail 4.3 to view the account and all the IMAP dirs can be seen and accessed as expected. Any idea what is going on? Is this somehow an IMAP client problem (bug) or an issue with Dovecot and these clients? Listing of the Maildir dir: [root Maildir]# ls -al total 92 drwx------ 17 andrew andrew 4096 Dec 6 17:06 . drwx------ 9 andrew andrew 4096 Dec 6 15:58 .. drwx------ 5 andrew andrew 4096 Dec 6 16:31 .mailbox drwx------ 5 andrew andrew 4096 Dec 6 16:31 .mailbox.mail drwx------ 5 andrew andrew 4096 Dec 6 16:48 .mailbox.mail.colleagues drwx------ 5 andrew andrew 4096 Dec 6 17:02 .mailbox.mail.colleagues.amy drwx------ 5 andrew andrew 4096 Dec 6 16:48 .mailbox.mail.colleagues.aslan drwx------ 2 andrew andrew 4096 Dec 6 16:31 cur -rw------- 1 andrew andrew 144 Dec 6 16:31 dovecot.index -rw------- 1 andrew andrew 10272 Dec 6 16:31 dovecot.index.cache -rw------- 1 andrew andrew 128 Dec 6 16:31 dovecot.index.log drwx------ 2 andrew andrew 4096 Dec 6 16:31 new drwx------ 5 andrew andrew 4096 Dec 6 16:53 .Sent Items -rw------- 1 andrew andrew 32 Dec 6 17:06 subscriptions drwx------ 2 andrew andrew 4096 Dec 6 16:31 tmp drwx------ 5 andrew andrew 4096 Dec 6 16:32 .Trash PROBLEM: When viewed in Thunderbird 3.1.6 or Outlook 2010: These nested dirs are seen: ..mailbox ....mail These nested dirs are NOT seen or can be subscribed: ......colleagues ........amy ........aslan OBSERVATIONS: When viewed in Apple Mail 4.3, all dirs are seen correctly.

[Dovecot] Migrate dbox 1.2 virtual mail to 2.0
by Nick Rosier 08 Jan '11

08 Jan '11

Hi, I'm trying to migrate from Dovecot 1.2.16 to 2.0.7. Initially the mails were stored in Maildir format but I changed them to dbox using "fast Maildir migration" and some mails are still in the old maildir format. I'm trying to migrate these mails using dsync but dsync panics: % dsync -D -o mail_location=dbox:/var/spool/vmail/bunbun.be/nick mirror dbox:/var/spool/vmail2/bunbun.be/nick ...... dsync(vmail): Panic: file mail-storage.c: line 1351 (mailbox_save_set_guid): assertion failed: (guid == NULL || *guid != '\0') zsh: abort (core dumped) dsync -D -o mail_location=dbox:/var/spool/vmail/bunbun.be/nick mirror Any ideas?

[Dovecot] Pointers for developing a proper encryption plugin?
by dovecot＠moorooboorai.com 07 Jan '11

07 Jan '11

Hi all, One thing that's always itching when I think about mail-servers, is the storage of e-mail messages in (rather) plain-text. Meaning, any administrator with sufficient privileges would be able to read messages not meant for them. Of course, PGP alike solutions exist, but that's not for the masses. In my opinion I would like to have e-mail messages stored encrypted using a (strong) user-supplied password. That password would ideally be the same as the one the user logs in with. So for me it's okay to place and enforce that requirement on any of the users. Having this in place would for sure reassure external auditors/accountants of any kind. Having Google'd from here to 'yonder and consulting experts on Experts Exhange, I have come up with only this pointer: http://dovecot.markmail.org/search/?q=dovecot+encrypt#query:dovecot%20encry… It mention the same issue, and also mentions the non-existence of a solution (back in May 2010). But, beforing diving into developing solutions myself, I have to be absolutely sure that there isn't any solution yet. And, in consequence of non-existence: what would allow me to fasttrack any development efforts on this? Is there an overview available where I could learn the best approach for plugin development? Tutorials maybe? Kind regards, Jeroen Zuijderhoudt.

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.0.8 Linux 2.6.12.6-arm1 armv5tejl Segmentation fault

Hi, Sorry. This is what I find when I try to run Dovecot. # dovecot -F Segmentation fault If I comment out the SSL configuration values, then: # dovecot -F doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /opt/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf: ssl enabled, but ssl_cert not set These are the configure options, "--enable-maintainer-mode" & "--enable-devel-checks" were added with the hope that dovecot would produce a more verbose error message. ./configure --prefix=/opt --with-ssl=openssl --disable-dependency-tracking --enable-maintainer-mode --enable-devel-checks None of the log files have been touched since before this version of Dovecot was installed (logging was initially part of the configuration).

[Dovecot] dovecot can't see mail that is there
by Joachim Ferreira 06 Jan '11

06 Jan '11

I used to install dovecot on any Fedora fresh installation and I could fetch my internal mail few minutes later. Now I've been struggling for two days and I haven't got my mail working yet. I have Fedora 14 with sendmail. Some application on the same machine send mail to an account on the same machine (hence all is confined to one machine) and I want to retrieve it from a laptop on the same LAN via Outlook. If I login into the account and check the mail with the alpine (ex pine) client, I see that there are 10 mails. When I "telnet localhost pop3" and login into the account, the "list" command says there are 0 mails. Various suggestions found on the internet for slightly different configuration did not help.

[Dovecot] Mail delivered, but lost?
by Patrick Ben Koetter 06 Jan '11

06 Jan '11

Running dovecot 1.2.9 on a Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS virtual machine. Postfix receives messages and hands them over to deliver for local storage. Today two mails came in that could not be found allthough they got delivered. What catches my eye is the "?" in the msgid: Jan 5 21:10:47 mail dovecot: deliver(consulting): msgid=? <14847_1294258245_ZZh0g1h9eLfxL.00_fc2fe6e910f03.4d24de54(a)uni-bielefeld.de>: saved mail to INBOX Jan 5 21:27:26 mail dovecot: deliver(consulting): msgid=? <18995_1294259246_ZZh0g1hhis~T6.00_fc45b33d1281c.4d24e23d(a)uni-bielefeld.de>: saved mail to INBOX Is that a known error?

[Dovecot] dsync backup errors with maildir -> mdbox
by Patrick McLean 06 Jan '11

06 Jan '11

Hi, In preparation for a migration from maildir to mdbox, I am using dsync backup to do initial mailbox copies (at this point I do not want to risk any changes to the maildir). The initial run of dsync runs fine, but a second run to migrate any changes since the first run produces errors for many users. Here is an example of the type of error produced: > # dsync -u user backup mdbox:~/mdbox > # dsync -u user backup mdbox:~/mdbox > dsync(user): Error: Can't delete mailbox INBOX: INBOX can't be deleted. > dsync(user): Error: Can't delete mailbox directory XXXXXX.courses: Mailbox has children, delete them first > dsync(user): Error: Can't delete mailbox directory XXXXXX: Mailbox has children, delete them first > dsync(user): Error: Can't delete mailbox directory XXXXXX.XX1: Mailbox has children, delete them first > dsync(user): Error: Can't delete mailbox directory XXXXXX.XX2: Mailbox has children, delete them first > dsync(user): Error: Can't delete mailbox directory XXXXXXXX: Mailbox has children, delete them first > dsync(user): Error: Can't delete mailbox directory XXX: Mailbox has children, delete them first > dsync(user): Error: Trying to open a non-listed mailbox with guid=c0204a140fdd254d1a770000743562c1 > dsync(user): Error: msg iteration failed: Couldn't open mailbox c0204a140fdd254d1a770000743562c1 > dsync(user): Error: Trying to open a non-listed mailbox with guid=c0204a140fdd254d1a770000743562c1

[Dovecot] Alternative storage vs. Self healing (losing flags?)
by Marczisovszky Daniel 06 Jan '11

06 Jan '11

Hi, We are going to set up an environment for our customers where the storage is provided by two servers. First one stores the new emails, second one stores all the others using Dovecot's alternative storage feature (mailbox format is mdbox). The servers are connected via NFS. If, for any reason, the alternative storage is not mounted, Dovecot will see only an empty folder and due to its self-healing functionality flags for messages stored on alternative storage will be lost. Is there any way to prevent regenerating indexes (and especially flags as a side-effect) if the alternative storage seems to be completely empty? (like a dummy file in the root of the alternative storage and an option to enable/disable this check) Thanks in advance, Daniel Marczisovszky

[Dovecot] Login with firstname.lastname instead of loginname - WORKING
by Ralf Hildebrandt 06 Jan '11

06 Jan '11

3 years ago (!) I aksed about this and finally I implemented it today: >> # NEW >> passdb { >> driver = passwd >> # firstname.lastname@charite.de:password:uid:gid:(gecos):home:(shell):user=realloginname >> args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot.login_via_email >> } >If you're only using it as a passdb, you don't need the uid/gid/home. So >an example field would be: > >firstname.lastname@charite.de:password::::::user=realloginname But now I'm encountering problems with users writing Firstname.Lastname(a)charite.de instead of firstname.lastname(a)charite.de (capitalized first letters) How can I "normalize" the usernames by lowercasing them? The coolest solution would be to strip realms AND force lowercasing of usernames in one pass -- Ralf Hildebrandt Geschäftsbereich IT | Abteilung Netzwerk Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin Campus Benjamin Franklin Hindenburgdamm 30 | D-12203 Berlin Tel. +49 30 450 570 155 | Fax: +49 30 450 570 962 ralf.hildebrandt(a)charite.de | http://www.charite.de

[Dovecot] Upgrade from 1.2.16 with sieve/managesieve to 2.0.8 with pigeonhole
by Nick Rosier 06 Jan '11

06 Jan '11

Hi, I would like to upgrade my server from 1.2.16 with sieve and managesieve to 2.0.8 with pigeonhole. Will I get all functionality I was having before? Should this migration be painless or will it require some additional work? I've read the Upgrading guide so I know I need to create an additional user. I've migrated the mails from Maildir to dbox in the past (using the convert plugin); does that mean I'm fully dbox or am I in a maildir-dbox hybrid situation? I've noticed that there are still some maildir-formatted mail (e.g. 1259960330.M322229P62710.mail,W=2195:2,S) in some of the maps. root@mail /usr/local/etc # dovecot -n # 1.2.16: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf # OS: FreeBSD 8.2-PRERELEASE amd64 zfs protocols: imap imaps managesieve ssl_ca_file: /etc/ssl/cert.pem ssl_cert_file: /etc/ssl/mail.crt ssl_key_file: /etc/ssl/mail.key version_ignore: yes login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(managesieve): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/managesieve-login valid_chroot_dirs: /var/spool/vmail mail_max_userip_connections(default): 50 mail_max_userip_connections(imap): 50 mail_max_userip_connections(managesieve): 10 verbose_proctitle: yes first_valid_uid: 5000 first_valid_gid: 5000 mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: dbox:/var/spool/vmail/%d/%n mail_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(managesieve): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/managesieve mail_plugins(default): acl imap_acl fts fts_squat autocreate mail_plugins(imap): acl imap_acl fts fts_squat autocreate mail_plugins(managesieve): mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(managesieve): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/managesieve imap_client_workarounds(default): delay-newmail netscape-eoh tb-extra-mailbox-sep imap_client_workarounds(imap): delay-newmail netscape-eoh tb-extra-mailbox-sep imap_client_workarounds(managesieve): dict_db_config: /usr/local/etc/dovecot-db.conf namespace: type: private separator: / inbox: yes list: yes subscriptions: yes lda: postmaster_address: postmaster(a)xxx.xxx mail_plugins: sieve acl mail_plugin_dir: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lda deliver_log_format: msgid=%m: %$ sendmail_path: /usr/sbin/sendmail auth default: mechanisms: plain login cram-md5 username_format: %Lu passdb: driver: sql args: /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: sql args: /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 user: vmail group: vmail plugin: acl: vfile:/usr/local/etc/dovecot/acls:cache_secs=300 acl_shared_dict: file:/var/db/dovecot/shared-mailboxes.db convert_mail: maildir:/var/spool/vmail/%d/%n expire_dict: proxy::expire expire: Trash 365 sieve: /var/spool/vmail/%d/%n/dovecot.sieve sieve_dir: /var/spool/vmail/%d/%n/sieve sieve_global_dir: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/sieve fts: squat fts_squat: partial=4 full=10 autocreate: Trash autocreate2: Drafts autocreate3: Spam autocreate4: Sent autosubscribe: Trash autosubscribe2: Drafts autosubscribe3: Spam autosubscribe4: Sent dict: expire: db:/var/db/dovecot/expire.db

[Dovecot] RFC: grouped (f)sync
by Attila Nagy 06 Jan '11

06 Jan '11

Hello, Currently Dovecot (and any other application, which cares about e-mail delivery) does at least one fsync per mail delivery. Given that hard disk drives have a very limited IOPS, this effectively limits the maximum mail delivery performance to a very low value, under utilizing the available storage IO capacity. Calculating with an average mail size of 50 kB and an average consumer HDD with 120 IOPS, the theoretical mail delivery performance will be 50 kB*120 IOPS=5.85 MBps. But if we could write 500 kB with every transaction, the delivery speed would be nearly 10 times as well. Dovecot have two process models: separate processes for each client connection and an async in-process multiplexing method. This works for each one, albeit the timing is somewhat different. So here's the idea: instead of fsyncing immediately in the LDA (lmtpd) every time when the client says "\r\n.\r\n" after the DATA phase, let's introduce a user settable timer (let's call that sync_delay from now on) and only sync in every sync_delay seconds. This would introduce an up to sync_delay seconds delay in lmtpd returning "250 Ok" to the client, but that's generally not a problem, because in high traffic setups there is a great amount of concurrency, so you could use a lot of client connections easily. Take an example setting of sync_delay = 100 ms. With this, 10 syncs would happen in every second from Dovecot LDA processes, meaning if a client connects in t=0 it will immediately got the response 250, if a client connects in t=0.05, it will get the response in 50 ms (in an ideal world, where syncing does not take time), and the committed blocks could accumulate for a maximum of 100 ms. In a busy system (where this setting would make sense), it means it would be possible to write more data with less IOPS needed. I can see two problems: 1. there is no call for committing a lot of file descriptors in one transaction, so instead of fsync() for each of the modified FDs, a sync() would be needed. sync() writes all buffers to stable storage, which is bad if you have a mixed workload, where there are a lot of non-fsynced data, or other heavy fsync users. But modern file systems, like ZFS will write those back too, so there an fsync(fd) is -AFAIK- mostly equivalent with a sync(pool on which fd is). sync() of course is system wide, so if you have other file systems, those will be synced as well. (this setting isn't for everybody) 2. in a multiprocess environment this would need coordination, so instead of doing fsyncs in distinct processes, there would be one process needed, which does the sync and returns OK for the others, so they can notify the client about the commit to the stable storage. Any opinions on this?

[Dovecot] virtual user problems
by G.Nau 06 Jan '11

06 Jan '11

dovecot 2.0.8 with postfix; transfer postfix -> dovecot by lmtp is fine Now i have to redirect a couple of virtual email names (like admin(a)mydomain.com, postmaster@, webmaster@, info@, sales@ ...) to a single user postbox named xxx@mydomain. As I use mysql for the auth-sql, it's returning userhome /home/<name>/maildir for all sql requests to <name>=admin, postmaster etc. I also verified that "doveadm user info" is returning the maildir/home: /home/xxx/maildir So I assumed, that all mails to admin, postmaster etc. are transfered to user xxx mailbox. But it isn't. Dovecot is creating the maildirs /home/admin/maildir, /home/info/maildir and so on. What do I miss here to get that virtual users mapped to the correct user xxx? Regards Birte

[Dovecot] case (non-)sensitivity for folder names
by Phil Howard 05 Jan '11

05 Jan '11

Is IMAP supposed to be case sensitive or case in-sensitive? It seemed it would be case sensitive because I've had different cases of folders. But today I found I had two folders "Spam" and "spam", with directories ".INBOX.Spam" and ".INBOX.spam" on the server. Messages existed in each directory on the server and they were different. The messages could be read from Evolution. However, the list of messages had info mixed up between the folders. I then selected all messages in one of the folders and trashed them (click on trash icon). Messages disappeared in BOTH folders. On the server, after a couple minutes delay, messages in BOTH directories were flagged "T". That doesn't seem right. But I don't know enough about what IMAP is supposed to do, or on which end the names of folders get remapped into directory names, to even guess which is messed up here. I do know Evolution keeps a track of what it thinks the folder has, because in the past I have just "rm -fr" on a folder directory and Evolution still showed each message in its list, although it could not access them. Anyone know what's the deal with that? Unfortunately, there seems to be no operation in Evolution to tell it to discard its own cache. I'm also wondering if life would be any better if I used Thunderbird. -- sHiFt HaPpEnS!

[Dovecot] courier-dovecot-migrate.pl maintaining order of pop3 uidl's
by Mark Zealey 05 Jan '11

05 Jan '11

Hi there, I've just been experimenting with the latest courier-dovecot-migrate.pl script and I notice that it favours keeping pop3 UIDL ordering rather than IMAP UID preservation. There is this comment (line 312): # POP3 clients may want to get POP3 UIDLs in the same order always. # Preserve the order even if it causes IMAP UIDs to change. Does anyone have details as to which clients this actually causes a problem with? If it's some really old software then perhaps we'd prefer to keep the imap UID's the same but change the POP3 UIDL ordering (not the UIDL numbering though of course) Thanks, Mark

[Dovecot] dovecot + sendmail, what LDA setup?
by David Cake 05 Jan '11

05 Jan '11

I have an existing setup with sendmail, dovecot, on debian. I want to move LDA and move from using mbox to using Maildir. I have only 'real' users and aliases, no virtual users. What is a recommended, trouble free, LDA setup? procmail is of course on possibility, but I'd be unlikely ever to use any of its advanced features, just simple local mail delivery. I'd like to use deliver, but most of the dovecot as LDA sample configs I have seen seem to assume I am using it for virtual users. Advice? Pointers to a simple working setup for sendmail, dovecot, Maildir? Cheers David

[Dovecot] re-indexing moved mail
by Phil Howard 05 Jan '11

05 Jan '11

I have a huge block of email that was misdelivered into the wrong folder. Moving it where it should be is not just all from one folder to being all of another folder. Basically, the index files need to be rebuilt. Looking in the wiki I cannot find how to do this. It all seems to be about installation, and no administrative tools. Or would it be just as simple as delete certain index files and they would be automagically rebuilt? -- sHiFt HaPpEnS!

[Dovecot] Error copying >1 message to virtual mailbox
by Nicholas Riley 05 Jan '11

05 Jan '11

I created a virtual mailbox which maps to a single physical mailbox (in Dovecot 1.x I did this with a symlink but had intermittent problems with Dovecot 2.0 doing the same.) However, I can only copy one message at a time into the mailbox. If I try to copy more, I get: 7.16 UID COPY 48531:48532 !/Saved 7.16 NO [CANNOT] Can't save messages to this virtual mailbox whereas this works fine: 10.16 UID COPY 48531 !/Saved 10.16 OK Copy completed. The dovecot-virtual file in !/Saved is: !2011-01 all and dovecot.conf: # 2.0.8 (cde0d403c6ff): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.18.8-linode22 i686 Debian 5.0.7 mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir:LAYOUT=fs:INBOX=~/Maildir/INBOX:CONTROL=~/.dovecot.cont rol:SUBSCRIPTIONS=.subscriptions mail_max_userip_connections = 20 namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = separator = / } namespace { location = virtual:~/Maildir/! prefix = !/ separator = / } passdb { driver = pam } plugin { antispam_backend = dspam antispam_signature = X-DSPAM-Signature antispam_spam_pattern_ignorecase = *spam } protocols = imap ssl = required ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = passwd } protocol imap { mail_plugins = " virtual" } Thanks. -- Nicholas Riley <njriley(a)illinois.edu>

[Dovecot] Converting from Maildir - sdbox
by Marc Perkel 04 Jan '11

04 Jan '11

OK - I thought this was going to be easy. Maybe it is. I'm just not that good at reading directions. Trying to use dsync. Getting this error: Mail locations must use the same virtual mailbox hierarchy separator (specify separator for the default namespace) Currently using maildir. The setup is as follows: mail_uid = mail mail_gid = mail mail_location = maildir:/vhome/%d/home/%n:INDEX=/imap-cache/%d-%n I don't have any namespace setting. Not quite sure what a namespace is or why I need one. This is what I'm trying to run: dsync -u marc(a)perkel.com backup sdbox:/email/%d/home/%n What I'm hoping to do is do a mass conversion while running. Then shut it down - do a second quick pass - and bring it up in sdbox format. Thanks in advance.

[Dovecot] dovecotpw missing (2.0.8)
by Kristina Clair 04 Jan '11

04 Jan '11

Hello, I just installed dovecot version 2.0.8 from the source tarball. After doing ./configure, make, and make install, I don't have the dovecotpw binary anywhere. It is not in /usr/local/bin or /usr/local/sbin where the other binaries are; I also did a find / for it and don't see it. Is there some configuration flag I'm missing? I read the flags in ./configure --help and nothing seems obviously applicable to me. Is there a cryptography library I could be missing? I have the libs installed for crypt, md5, etc. Thanks, Kristina

[Dovecot] namespaces and noselect
by Kyle Wheeler 04 Jan '11

04 Jan '11

Hello, I am trying to use two namespaces to create an "archival" directory that is stored as mboxes (the rest of my tree is all stored as maildirs). However, when I add the second namespace, suddenly Dovecot starts emitting, in response to the LIST command, a second version of the INBOX that is marked as \NoSelect. Here are my namespac definitions... am I doing this wrong? namespace { list = yes hidden = no inbox = yes location = maildir:~/Maildir prefix = separator = / type = private } namespace { hidden = yes # do not list as a separate namespace list = no # inbox = no location = mbox:~/Maildir/Archive:LAYOUT=fs:INDEX=~/Maildir/ArchiveIndexes/ prefix = INBOX/Archive/ separator = / type = private } ~Kyle -- If you are going through hell, keep going. -- Winston Churchill

[Dovecot] Finally upgrading from v1.0.15 to v1.2.16 -- advice please
by Jan-Frode Myklebust 04 Jan '11

04 Jan '11

It's long over due, but now I finally plan on upgrading from v1.0.15 to v1.2.16 on our servers. Would appreciate any comments! We have 7 servers, all running of the same GPFS filesystem. Both maildirs and indexes are stored here. We use dovecot for POP/IMAP and deliver. Currently we're using mysql as authentication source, but want to move to using ldap instead. Can we upgrade one server at a time, or do we need to upgrade all servers at the same time ? http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Upgrading/1.1 says "Index files have slightly changed as well. Upgrading to v1.1 should go transparently, but moving back to v1.0 might again cause some errors." which makes me think we can't have both versions running against the same users ? Also, if we upgrade only one server, should we switch to "mmap_disable=no" on this one, or keep running with "mmap_disable=yes" on all servers ? "NFS users should now set mail_nfs_storage=yes and mail_nfs_index=yes." Does this apply to any shared/networked filesystems, and is this relevant for GPFS ? The sql queries we're doing now is: password_query = select U.Account as user,S.Password as password from Users U, UserSession S where U.Account=S.Account and U.Account='%u' user_query = SELECT 3000 as uid, 3000 as gid, concat(concat('maildir:', MailDir), concat(':INDEX=', replace(MailDir, '/usr/local/atmail/users', '/usr/local/atmail/users/indexes'))) as mail, concat('maildir:storage=', UserQuota) as quota FROM Users WHERE Account = '%u' I plan on doing ldap bind() for authentication: hosts = maildb3.example.net:389 auth_bind = yes ldap_version = 3 base = ou=people,o=%d,o=ISP,o=example,c=net deref = never scope = onelevel user_filter = (&(objectClass=altiboxperson)(uid=%n)) default_pass_scheme = SSHA but the user_query is a challenge.. In LDAP we have: uid = janfrode, ou=people,o=domain1.net,o=ISP,o=example,c=net mail = janfrode(a)domain1.net mailMessageStore = /usr/local/atmail/users/j/a/janfrode(a)domain1.net mailQuota = 1000000 domain = domain1.net userPassword = SSHA-string So, outside of the user_attrs we need: mail_uid = 3000 mail_gid = 3000 But I'm having a hard time understanding how I can use the ldap value mail=/usr/local/atmail/users/j/a/janfrode(a)domain1.net to translate into dovecot's "mail" containing both "maildir:" and "INDEX=". Does the below look correct ? user_attrs = mailMessageStore=mail=maildir:%$:INDEX=/usr/local/atmail/users/indexes/%1u/%1.1u/%u, mailQuota=quota_rule=*:storage=%$ i.e. will it point dovecot at: mail = maildir:/usr/local/atmail/users/j/a/janfrode@domain1.net:INDEX=/usr/local/atmail/users/indexes/j/a/janfrode@domain1.net quota_rule=*:storage=1000000 -jf

[Dovecot] Vpopmail + Expire Plugin
by Oliver Lehmann 04 Jan '11

04 Jan '11

Hi, I've changed my running qmail/vpopmail/procmail/courier-imap/sqwebmail installation to qmail/vpopmail/siege/dovecot/horde imp. So far, I've got everything running. Authentification with vpopmail as passdb is working, Mail delivery with siege into different Mail folders is working as well. One of the reasons why I switched to dovecot was the expire plugin and right now I'm trying to set it up but I don't get it to run. - I created a MySQL User as advised - I created a database and a table and granted SELECT, INSERT, DELETE, UPDATE privileges for that table to user dovecot # mysql -udovecot -p dovecot Enter password: mysql> desc expires; +--------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +--------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | username | varchar(75) | NO | PRI | NULL | | | mailbox | varchar(255) | NO | PRI | NULL | | | expire_stamp | int(11) | NO | | NULL | | +--------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec) mysql> select * from expires; Empty set (0.00 sec) - I added the following lines to my dovecot.conf: dict { expire = mysql:/usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext } plugin { expire = Test expire_dict = proxy::expire } - I created the dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext # cat /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext connect = host=localhost dbname=dovecot user=dovecot password=XXXX map { pattern = shared/expire/$user/$mailbox table = expires value_field = expire_stamp fields { username = $user mailbox = $mailbox } } # - When restarting dovecot I had a dict error because the socket was owned by root. I changed that so the socket is owned by the user vpopmail. - Then I created a folder "Test" via IMAP for one of my accounts - Then I copied via Horde IMP (so via IMAP) a message to that new folder - I requeried dovecot.expires in my database and it is still empty - I enabled logging for my MySQL DB and with that I found out, that no connect with the "dovecot" user is made at all so of course the table is empty. - I created a siege rule to move a mail directly to that Test folder when a specific Subject is used. lda moves the mail on arrival but still no MySQL connection is made. I've read that doveadm -A must work to get the expire plugin workinj, but it does not: # doveadm search -A mailbox INBOX subject test doveadm(olivleh1): Error: User listing returned failure doveadm: Error: Failed to iterate through some users # The expire plugin is loaded on startup: Jan 04 11:35:50 imap: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/local/lib/dovecot Jan 04 11:35:50 imap: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lib20_expire_plugin.so When using doveadm I'm getting a strange error: # doveadm -v expire -A mailbox INBOX subject test doveadm(olivleh1): Fatal: Unknown command 'expire', but plugin expire exists.

[Dovecot] Automatic Debian Dovecot repository now also includes amd64 binary packages.
by Stephan Bosch 04 Jan '11

04 Jan '11

Hi, I've recently significantly improved the automated Dovecot Debian package builder. At the beginning it only produced i386 binaries for Debian testing. A few weeks back I added a slave builder that builds packages for Debian stable. Today I have extended the slave builder with support for multiple architectures and I've added amd64 binaries to the repository. The master builder still builds packages for testing/i386 every hour. The slaves check for new source packages about 20 minutes later. Read the following wiki page for more information and read it carefully when you are considering to use these packages: http://wiki.dovecot.org/PrebuiltBinaries#Automatically_Built_Packages Also, every day at four 'o clock in the morning, the latest source packages are uploaded to the openSUSE build service, which builds i386/amd64 binaries for several Ubuntu versions (experimental): http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/sbosch:/ Regards, Stephan.

[Dovecot] Problem with requiring client certificates for external connections
by Frank Crawford 04 Jan '11

04 Jan '11

Folks, I'm trying to configure my dovecot installation to require client certificates for external/Internet connections, while still allowing my local network to not need certificates. This configuration is for Dovecot 2 (2.0.8 in Fedora 14), and I've tried to use the "remote" block to give different definitions for my local network vs the defaults. While most options seem to be set fine, if I set "auth_ssl_require_client_cert" to yes as the default, and reset it to no for my local network, dovecot still requests a client certificate and fails as one is not supplied. Am I correct that it can be reset in a "remote" block, or is it treated differently to other options? In fact do I have the configuration correct, as there doesn't really seem to be anything documenting "remote" or "remote_ip" or related items for Dovecot 2. Related to this, much of the documentation states that the variable is "ssl_require_client_cert", seems to be accepted by ignored, vs "auth_ssl_require_client_cert" which does have some effects. Also, in the configuration dump, it duplicates the netmask. The configuration is below, as generated with "dovecot -n". Regards Frank # 2.0.8: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.36.1 x86_64 Fedora release 14 (Laughlin) ext4 auth_ssl_require_client_cert = yes mail_location = maildir:/var/spool/maildir/%u managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date mbox_write_locks = fcntl passdb { driver = pam } plugin { sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve } postmaster_address = postmaster(a)crawford.emu.id.au ssl = required ssl_ca = </etc/pki/CA/cacert.pem ssl_cert = </etc/pki/tls/certs/dovecot.crt ssl_key = </etc/pki/tls/private/dovecot.key ssl_verify_client_cert = yes userdb { driver = passwd } protocol pop3 { pop3_uidl_format = %v.%u } remote 203.16.204.0/24/24 { auth_ssl_require_client_cert = no disable_plaintext_auth = no ssl = no ssl_verify_client_cert = no } remote fdd2:7aad:d478:1::/64/64 { auth_ssl_require_client_cert = no disable_plaintext_auth = no ssl = no ssl_verify_client_cert = no } remote 2001:44b8:62:140::/64/64 { auth_ssl_require_client_cert = no disable_plaintext_auth = no ssl = no ssl_verify_client_cert = no }

[Dovecot] Courier-mta with Dovecot LDA again
by komodo 04 Jan '11

04 Jan '11

Hi all Sorry for repost, but i don't believe that there is noone who know where the problem can be. At least developers should know :-) I have sent this post once, but without answer. I have setup dovecot lda instead of maildrop on my courier server. Delivery is working, sieve plugin too, but i can't figure out why lda can't send emails via sendmail (vacation). I always get error Error: Sendmail process terminated abnormally, exit status 67 And i know why, but i don't know how to setup lda to make it work . Here is .courier file where is redirect to lda. | /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -a $RECIPIENT -f $SENDER But the deliver does not pass recipient address to sendmail. Here is some output of strace execve("/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver", ["/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver", "-a", "komodo@somedomain", "-f", "someuser@somedomain"], [/* 22 vars */]) = 0 So it's clear that deliver have those variables, but then i can see this execve("/usr/sbin/sendmail", ["/usr/sbin/sendmail", "-i", "-f", "<>", "--", "someuser@somedomain"], [/* 2 vars */] <unfinished ...> And there is empty -f , so here is the problem. How should i setup this to make it work correctly ? Here is my config [root(a)OVZ.mail ~]# dovecot -n # 2.0.7: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.18-194.8.1.el5.028stab070.5 x86_64 CentOS release 5.5 (Final) disable_plaintext_auth = no hostname = ovzmail listen = 10.0.10.34 mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date mbox_write_locks = fcntl namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = INBOX. separator = . type = private } namespace { location = maildir:/home/shared/Maildir prefix = spam_learner. separator = . type = public } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext driver = ldap } plugin { sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve } protocols = imap sieve ssl_cert = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/server.pem ssl_key = </etc/pki/dovecot/private/server.pem userdb { driver = prefetch } protocol lda { mail_plugins = " sieve" } protocol imap { mail_max_userip_connections = 40 } Many thanks Martin

[Dovecot] Quota ignore subfolders
by Héctor Moreno Blanco 04 Jan '11

04 Jan '11

Hello, We have dovecot 2.0.8 in our servers with Scientific Linux SL release 5.2 (Boron). We want to ignore a mailbox and its child mailboxes. A few weeks ago Timo told me to do this in dovecot.conf, create a new namespace which will be the quotaless namespace and edit the quota: namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = INBOX. separator = . type = private } namespace { location = maildir:%h/Maildir/carpeta1 prefix = carpeta1. separator = . type = private } plugin { quota = maildir:carpeta1:ns=INBOX. quota_warning = storage=75%% /usr/local/dovecot/bin/quota-warning.sh 75 quota_warning2 = storage=90%% /usr/local/dovecot/bin/quota-warning.sh 90 } We also have passdb and userdb with ldap, with dovecot-ldap.conf: pass_filter = (&(objectClass=qmailUser)(uid=%u)(accountActive=TRUE)) pass_attrs = uid=user,userPassword=password, mailQuotaSize=quota_rule=*:bytes=%$ user_attrs = mailMessageStore=home, mailQuotaSize=quota_rule=*:bytes=%$ user_filter = (&(objectClass=qmailUser)(|(mailAlternateAddress=%u)(mail=%u)(uid=%u))(accountActive=TRUE)) We also tried the easy solution which was to indicate a quota rule in order to ignore the mailbox but with no success. It still get every mailbox to calculate the quota. We set mail_debug=yes to see if there was any error, but everything seemed to be ok. Any suggestions? Thank you very much in advanced.

[Dovecot] Renaming IMAP folders does not affect children
by Johannes Simon 04 Jan '11

04 Jan '11

Hi, we're using dovecot2.0 since August and very happy with it. Just recently Thunderbird users reported problems when renaming folders, and it seems that RFC 2060 (sec. 6.3.5) requires children of a renamed folder to be renamed, too. This however does not happen: Talking IMAP I get: * LIST (\HasChildren) "." "INBOX.NNN1" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.NNN1.NNN1a" . rename "INBOX.NNN1" "INBOX.NNN2" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.NNN1.NNN1a" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.NNN2" There seems to be no problem the filesystem rights, since this works: . rename "INBOX.NNN1.NNN1a" "INBOX.NNN2.NNN1a" * LIST (\HasChildren) "." "INBOX.NNN2" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.NNN2.NNN1a" Am I misunderstanding RFC 2060, or is my config wrong (doveconf -n below), or could it be a bug? Cheers, Johannes # 2.0.8 (e030df616faf): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.26-2-openvz-amd64 x86_64 Debian 5.0.7 default_client_limit = 2500 default_process_limit = 600 dotlock_use_excl = yes log_timestamp = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S " login_greeting = Dovecot 2 ready. mail_fsync = always mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir mail_nfs_index = yes mail_nfs_storage = yes mail_plugins = autocreate acl managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date mmap_disable = yes namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = INBOX. separator = . type = private } namespace { list = yes location = maildir:%%h/Maildir:INDEX=~/Maildir/shared/%%u prefix = INBOX.shared.%%u. separator = . subscriptions = no type = shared } passdb { args = session=yes dovecot driver = pam } plugin { acl = vfile acl_shared_dict = file:/etc/dovecot/dict/shared-mailboxes autocreate = INBOX.Trash autocreate2 = INBOX.Junk autocreate3 = INBOX.Sent autocreate4 = INBOX.Junk_old autocreate5 = INBOX.Drafts autosubscribe = INBOX.Trash autosubscribe2 = INBOX.Junk autosubscribe3 = INBOX.Sent autosubscribe4 = INBOX.Drafts sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve } protocols = imap pop3 service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { mode = 0666 } } service dict { user = dovecot } service imap-postlogin { executable = script-login rawlog /etc/dovecot/postlogin.sh user = root } service imap { executable = imap imap-postlogin } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { args = blocking=yes driver = passwd } protocol imap { mail_max_userip_connections = 50 mail_plugins = autocreate acl imap_acl } protocol pop3 { mail_max_userip_connections = 3 }

[Dovecot] Doveadm search in public namespaces

[Dovecot] user xxx@mydomain.com doesn't exist
by G.Nau 04 Jan '11

04 Jan '11

new setup of Dovecot 2.0.8 with postfix local users are simply defined as Linux users named xxx, yyy et cetera; IMAP access is fine with that users. Postfix is delivering mails with two domains (to xxx(a)mydomain.com or xxx(a)mydomain.org) and these are rejected by dovecot with 550: user doesn't exist. I've tested the possible usernames with "doveadm user" xxx: okay xxx(a)mydoman.com: "userdb lookup: user xxx(a)mydomain.com doesn't exist" xxx(a)mydoman.org: "userdb lookup: user xxx(a)mydomain.org doesn't exist" Dovecot2 wiki says "Dovecot doesn't care much about domains in usernames" Okay, how to I get dovecot to ignore the domain part (or accept the two defined domains) when mails are delivered from postfix? Or do I have to configure Postfix to strip the domain part before delivering to dovecot? Regards Birte Nauer
