[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.0.rc3 doesn't compile with custom OpenSSL
by Andreas M. Kirchwitz 03 Aug '10

03 Aug '10

Hi folks, when building Dovecot 2.0.rc3 (never used any other 2.0.X before, so this issue might not be new to that specific release), then compilation fails on anything that is linked against the new "libdovecot-login.so" library. For example, "imap-login" fails: /bin/sh ../../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link gcc -std=gnu99 -g -O2 -Wall -W -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wpointer-arith -Wchar-subscripts -Wformat=2 -Wbad-function-cast -Wstrict-aliasing=2 -I/usr/local/ssl/include -o imap-login client.o client-authenticate.o imap-login-settings.o imap-proxy.o ../../src/login-common/libdovecot-login.la ../../src/lib-dovecot/libdovecot.la -lrt libtool: link: gcc -std=gnu99 -g -O2 -Wall -W -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wpointer-arith -Wchar-subscripts -Wformat=2 -Wbad-function-cast -Wstrict-aliasing=2 -I/usr/local/ssl/include -o .libs/imap-login client.o client-authenticate.o imap-login-settings.o imap-proxy.o ../../src/login-common/.libs/libdovecot-login.so ../../src/lib-dovecot/.libs/libdovecot.so -lrt -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/usr/local/Dovecot-2.0.rc3/lib/dovecot /usr/bin/ld: warning: libcrypto.so.1.0.0, needed by ../../src/login-common/.libs/libdovecot-login.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link) /usr/bin/ld: warning: libssl.so.1.0.0, needed by ../../src/login-common/.libs/libdovecot-login.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link) ../../src/login-common/.libs/libdovecot-login.so: undefined reference to `OBJ_txt2nid' [...] collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[3]: *** [imap-login] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/dovecot-2.0.rc3/src/imap-login' I'm not using system OpenSSL but a custom installation in /usr/local/ssl. According to the documentation, Dovecot is smart enough to get everything it needs from the /usr/local/ssl/lib/pkgconfig/*.pc files. Dovecot 1.2.X just compiles fine if configured like this: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/${DOVECOTVER} --with-ssl=openssl The problem with Dovecot 2.0.rc3 is, that libdovecot-login.so isn't given the correct pathes for the OpenSSL libraries: $ ldd src/login-common/.libs/libdovecot-login.so linux-gate.so.1 => (0x00b6e000) libssl.so.1.0.0 => not found libcrypto.so.1.0.0 => not found libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00b2a000) librt.so.1 => /lib/librt.so.1 (0x004d4000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00110000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x006e7000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x009c6000) So everything depending on libdovecot-login.so will fail. Setting "SSL_CFLAGS" and "SSL_LIBS" manually doesn't help because Dovecot already sets these perfectly fine via pkg-config: env SSL_CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/ssl/include" SSL_LIBS="-L/usr/local/ssl/lib -Wl,-R/usr/local/ssl/lib -lcrypto -lssl" ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/${DOVECOTVER} --with-ssl=openssl Only the hard way works: env CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/ssl/include" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/ssl/lib -Wl,-R/usr/local/ssl/lib -lcrypto -lssl" ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/${DOVECOTVER} --with-ssl=openssl However, setting CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS shouldn't be necessary because SSL_CFLAGS and SSL_LIBS already contain the information that is needed to build a proper library. They are just not used when linking libdovecot-login.so ;-) Greetings, Andreas

[Dovecot] Date problem after import
by Andreas Schenk 03 Aug '10

03 Aug '10

Hi, am running into an import problem: After I upgraded an Mac OS X 10.5.8 Server to Mac OS X 10.6, not all, but quite some mails show wrong dates. They are dated to the year 2020, which is obviously not possible for mail that has been sent long ago. Now 10.5 to 10.6 is a move from cyrus to dovecot and the migration scripts used by Apple are supposed to do a nice migration. I have seen this suceed a lot of times, but this time not. As far as I understand, dovecot uses the modification date of the email to build its index and deleting the index should make it being rebuilt. But my "wrong" emails also have wrong modification dates. Only the headers inside the mail text still show the correct dates. My guess is, that something got wrong when migrating from cyrus. Even maybe the cyrus db might have been corrupt in the first place. As I can't go back and reimport I have to live with the situation. My plan to fix it is to write a script to traverse the mailbox hierarchy, delete the index files and have all email files with a modification date in 2020 be set to a modification date that is extracted from its contents "Date:" header. Now my question is, if you think this way is good, feasible or if another solution springs to the mind of those more adept with dovecot. Any help is appreciated.

Hello! When I migrans mailbox from one server to the second file subscribe "/" is replaced by a point "." the first file server subscription: & BB4EMQRJBDgENQ-& BD8EMAQ, BDoEOA-/firstname.secondname after migration to the second server: & BB4EMQRJBDgENQ-& BD8EMAQ, BDoEOA-.firstname.secondname on the second server before migration mailbox was not. After fixing the subscription file on the second server sync two mailboxes passes without problems. >From the outside for my English, I use Google Translator

[Dovecot] Dsync ignores INBOX when converting from mbox to maildir
by Jan Vítek 03 Aug '10

03 Aug '10

Hi, I am trying to convert email box in mbox format to maildir++. It converts all folders except INBOX. For example: dsync -D -v -f -u 'info(a)example.org' mirror 'maildir:~/Maildir' prints: dsync(info(a)example.org): Info: Sport: only in source So it converts Sport folder, but INBOX folder is ignored. dovecot.conf contains: mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u File /var/mail/info(a)example.org contains email messages. Dovecot is in version v2.0.rc3. Do you have any advice what am I doing wrong? -- Kind Regards Jan Vítek ČESKÝ WEBHOSTING s.r.o. Tel: +420 605 25 25 25 E-mail: info(a)cweb.cz http://www.cweb.cz

[Dovecot] Updating Database records from a Plugin
by John O'Brien 03 Aug '10

03 Aug '10

Guys, In the file /etc/dovecot-pgsql.conf I have driver = pgsql connect = host=localhost dbname=ivr.db user=ivr password=passwd default_pass_scheme = PLAIN password_query = SELECT password FROM embedded_device WHERE username='%u' user_query = SELECT home, uid, gid FROM embedded_device WHERE username='%u' In the table embedded_device there is a field called PIN. My plugin has the "user" and the "pin_value". What I want to do from the plugin is the following: UPDATE embedded_device SET PIN=pin_value WHERE username=user; Questions: Is there a way to locate the exiting database open connection? Is there a way to use the dovecot sql API to set the value of field? I have been looking for examples and have not been very successful. Regards, John

[Dovecot] [2.0] Experience in production environment
by Luigi Rosa 03 Aug '10

03 Aug '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I decided to put 2.0-pre3 in a couple of production environments with about 50 users each. The configuration is what I consider my own standard: Dovecot, Postfix with authentication via Dovecot, postfixadmin, maildir, userbase on MySQL. The new configuration schema is very flexible and much better than the "monolithic" file. The configuration conversion utility is very useful. No issue to report, the logfile is clean. The only difference between 2.0 and the previous version is the RIM server. Some users have configured their blackberry to synchronize the phone with their mailbox in IMAP. Previously RIM kept a connection open, after upgrading to 2.0, RIM opens a connection and then closes it. This is not an issue, because the synchronization is ok, and I think that is better this way than to keep an oper socket. Just for curiosity: it happens only to me and why this happens?

[Dovecot] Plugin for XFS project quota
by Wessel Dankers 02 Aug '10

02 Aug '10

Hi, I just finished writing a small plugin that reports XFS project quota in de IMAP component of Dovecot (1.2, currently). It was written to fill the needs of our organization but someone else might find this useful as well. In its current form it's not suitable for inclusion in the generic quota backend (see “Drawbacks”). Features: - every mailbox/folder can have its own project ID; - every project ID is mapped to a quota “root”; - caching to ensure reasonable performance; - Debian APT repository available; - LGPL 3 (just like Dovecot itself). Drawbacks: - quota are readonly, you'll have to manage limits and project assignment yourself; - IMAP only: I tried to write a generic quota backend, but the current setup of the quota plugin does not really seem to permit this; - extremely Linux-specific: assumes devices to be available under /dev/block/<maj>:<min> (this is valid for at least Debian lenny); - received only very limited testing; - no documentation whatsoever.

[Dovecot] LDAP + mail_location: Get "%d" from customfield
by Denny Schierz 02 Aug '10

02 Aug '10

hi, my mail_location looks like: mail_location = maildir:/imap/spool/%d/%1n/%n:INDEX=/imap/spool/% d/indexes/%1n/%n for example: /imap/spool/domain.foo/a/anton/new The problem is, that the user log in with only the username and no domainpart. So, Dovecot looks into: /imap/spool/a/anton/new what isn't correct. We created an LDAP entry in which domain the user is and searching for a way, to get it working. So, only what I want is to use our customfield as domainpart for the mail_location. Postfix works perfect and delivers the messages in the correct folder. any idea? cu denny

[Dovecot] need convert-tool advice
by Dave McGuire 31 Jul '10

31 Jul '10

Hi folks, I've got a few thousand accounts that I'd like to convert from mbox to maildir. I'm looking at using convert-tool from the command line to do this, but I'm uncertain about the command line syntax, so I hope someone can take a moment to go over this with me. I'm running dovecot 1.1.6 on this system. Mail accounts are not tied to UNIX system accounts, I'm using the dovecot LDA, users do not have home directories, everything is controlled from a database, and mail directories take the form of: /var/spool/mail/<domainname>/<username>/... The mail directories contain mbox-style spool files, including "inbox" and any user-created mbox-format folders. The entire hierarchy is owned by vmail.vmail. I'd like to batch-convert these offline in such a way that it's transparent to users. Here's what I have so far: ------------------------------------------------------------ mv ${user} ${user}-mbox convert_tool ${user} \ /var/spool/mail/${domain}/${user} \ mbox:/var/spool/mail/${domain}/${user}-mbox:\ INBOX=/var/spool/mail/${domain}/${user}-mbox/inbox \ maildir:/var/spool/mail/${domain}/${user} ------------------------------------------------------------ (sorry about that incomprehensibly long command line, I tried to break it intelligently) ...then I'll change the "mail" field returned by the database query to include maildir instead of mbox. I'll wrap the whole thing in a script and do it in one run. Is this correct usage of convert_tool's command line options? The thing that confuses me is the "home directory" command line option, not sure what that's for, as my mail users don't have home directories...at least not in the UNIX sense, does it mean something else? Will the users notice anything different here, with respect to UIDs, indices, or anything like that? If this is completely the wrong way to do it, I'm not opposed to using a different tool like mb2md.pl, but I looked at that and couldn't quite figure out how to make it work within my current directory structure. Thanks, -Dave -- Dave McGuire Port Charlotte, FL

[Dovecot] performance problems with {s,m}dbox
by Jake Johnson 31 Jul '10

31 Jul '10

using rc3 and with the latest pigeonhole, I had problems with dovecot (deliver) keeping up with high volumes of E-mail. I tried sdbox, mdbox, and cyrdir all with similar (failed) result. using the default Maildir I had no problems. I did not try mbox. The problems seemed to happen when there were multiple deliver's running to the same folder I had defined in my sieve rules, either it would timeout and fail, or timeout and get delivered to my inbox, crash, or eventually halt because the queue would reach 20,000 messages which is the maximum with my postfix configuration. Everything was fine when I was using Maildir, no errors and no sieve errors/timeouts. perhaps it is more of an issue with pigeonhole than sieve, but thought I would post my experience using dbox, since it sounded like it was a winner based on performance.

[Dovecot] Dovecot and SSD
by Bryan Vyhmeister 30 Jul '10

30 Jul '10

I'm considering setting up my own mailserver with Dovecot 2.0 (as soon as it's out) and SSD. I'm debating whether it's worth it or not. I have been running a mailserver with the Dovecot 1.1 train for a couple of years and it's been flawless and amazing. I'm thinking about using either FreeBSD 8.1 w/ZFS or OpenBSD 4.8-beta on a 64 GB or 80 GB SSD (Corsair or Intel) using Dovecot 2.0 and mdbox. It seems like mdbox would benefit the most from an SSD because reads would be extremely fast while minimal writes (comparatively) take place due to the way mdbox is structured. I guess what I'm saying is that even if the SSD has average to slow write speeds the fast read speeds would make a big difference in many operations. Any thoughts? Alternately, run either option on a hard drive with indexes on fast flash memory. Anyone tried something like that? Thank you. Bryan

[Dovecot] relay access denied problem thru iphone imap auth

I'm using postfix smtpd / dovecot. Running imaps, imap, pop3s, pop3. I have a ssl certificate setup. Everything works fine via IMAP except sending to an email from outside the network to a recipient outside the network. The problem is when someone (and this is being tested thru the iphone email client configured to use imap) logs in, they can read messages but cannot send to an address outside my network, assuming they are logged in outside the network. If you they are logged in inside the network, they can send to anyone just fine.

Hi, I was wondering if I could get some help with Dovecot. I have just recently set up a mail server that runs on Ubuntu Server 10.04. It has got the current version of postfix and Dovecot. I have also got the squirrelmail set up as my webmail. Everything is fine. However, I have been reading some emails posted by Dovecot users regarding Dovecot LDA. I wonder if anyone might be able to let me know the benefits it might offer so that i could make a decision as to whether I need it or not. Thank you very much in advance

[Dovecot] Looking for a Plug-In developer
by John O'Brien 28 Jul '10

28 Jul '10

Hi, We need a small plug-in developed for dovecot. We are looking to pay for for its development. We need to add support for a custom IMAP command. The command is for the storage of a numeric PIN field in a database. The database is PostgreSQL. Another table in the database defines the minimum and maximum length of the numeric PIN field. The IMAP client server exchange after a user login resembles the following. C: A0001 CHANGE PIN 243289 S: A0001 OK CHANGE successful The numeric PIN number is stored in a field within a table the login username as key. Example errors are: C: A0001 CHANGE PINFJ 24DDD89 S: A0001 NO invalid password type C: A0001 CHANGE PIN 24DDD89 S: A0001 NO invalid characters C: A0001 CHANGE PIN 23 S: A0001 NO password too short C: A0001 CHANGE PIN 234567890123 S: A0001 NO password too long C: A0001 CHANGE PIN 0000 S: A0001 NO password blacklisted We believe this is not a big task for someone familiar with the design and implementation of dovecot plug-ins. We want to minimise our leaning and just get a result. If you are interested in undertaking this development please contact me with a simple proposal. We will require the source code and copyright assignment.

Hi, Has anyone got the chance to get this running? I'm permanently getting this Serverbug error ... ;( *"[SERVERBUG] failed to send email"* ... This happens when I try to drag&drop mails from one to the other folder within a IMAP-session. What version of Dovecot must I have to get this plugin working? Or will it generally be broken in upcoming new releases of Dovecot? Best Regards Leander S.

[Dovecot] dovecot lda & sieve: resubmit folder for resieving
by Axel Thimm 28 Jul '10

28 Jul '10

Hi, I'm currently restructuring my mail archives and migrated from a decade and a half old procmail supported solution to sieve. While doing so I often found that I'd like to filter a bunch of messages (with "bunch" in the area of 1-10K) with my shiny new sieve script. I found in the wiki a way to do that: http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/RefilterMail And it works well, it picks the mails via IMAP and resubmits them to dovecot-lda. But unfortunately the IMAP flags including \Sent, \Flagged etc are lost in the process. I started checking for other solutions beside getmail that might extract the imap flags as well, but I wouldn't know how to pass them to dovecot-lda. Would it make sense to suggest to have dovecot offer this kind of reprocessing itself? That way nothing would get lost in any transition. -- http://ATrpms.net/

[Dovecot] SSHA256 scheme

Hi again, I`m a bit confused how to store a SSHA256 password in the database and I can`t find any information in the wiki. Do I have to store the SHA256 hash and the salt separately (what would the password_query be like in this way) or just the final SSHA256 hash? Regards Patrick

[Dovecot] Cyrus Virtual Domains: Domain migration from Cyrus
by Denny Schierz 27 Jul '10

27 Jul '10

hi, we want to migrate from Cyrus 2.x to Dovecot 1.x (!). We use the virtual domain feature from Cyrus for a better disk partitioning: /var/imap/domain.a/user/foo .. /var/imap/domain.b/user/foo .. /var/imap/domain.c/user/foo .. In a exported skiplist DB, it shows like: ================= domain.a!user.foobar 0 int foobar(a)domain.a lrswipcda postmaster(a)domain.a domain.a!user.han 0 int han(a)domain.a lrswipcda domain.b!user.solo 0 int solo(a)domain.b lrswipcda domain.b!user.yoda 0 int yoda(a)domain.b lrswipcda domain.c!user.luke 0 int luke(a)domain.c lrswipcda postmaster(a)domain.c That allows us, to separate the domains from each other on the filesystem. The cyrus imapd.conf config: defaultpartition: domaina partition-domaina /var/spool/imap/domaina partition-domainb /var/spool/imap/domainb partition-domainc /var/spool/imap/domainc What is the best way, to use this layout under Dovecot? cu denny ps. Cyrus gets this mails via LMTP over TCP from sendmail and Dovecot 1.x dont' have this service and I use postfix for smtp-> smtp-local-lmtp-> Dovecot. -- Denny Schierz <linuxmail(a)4lin.net>

[Dovecot] using Lazy_Expunge to enforce retention policy
by Jim Salter 26 Jul '10

26 Jul '10

Hi, I've been experimenting with using Lazy_Expunge as a tool to enforce document retention policies (by keeping users from deleting emails forever, instead expiring them after a set time). My problem is, how do I keep the user from deleting/expunging mails *inside the expunge folder itself*? I am using dovecot-1.2.10 built from FreeBSD's ports tree, and I am using the following settings for the "expunged" folder of Lazy_Expunge, as part of the "three namespaces" approach suggested in the wiki: # namespaces for lazy_expunge plugin: namespace private { prefix = .EXPUNGED/ separator = / location = maildir:/usr/local/vpopmail/domains/%d/%n/EXPUNGED } When a user expunges mail, it shows up in the folder listed just fine. But if the user expunges mail from /that/ folder, it's gone forever, which defeats the purpose in regard to "enforcing retention." As a partial workaround, I tried adding hidden=yes and list=no to the setting, and restarting dovecot: # namespaces for lazy_expunge plugin: namespace private { prefix = .EXPUNGED/ separator = / location = maildir:/usr/local/vpopmail/domains/%d/%n/EXPUNGED hidden = yes list = no } The problem is, while this does indeed *hide* the namespace from the user, it doesn't prevent them from *using* it if they know about it - I discovered this because Thunderbird still "remembered" the namespace from before I hid it; experimenting confirmed that, yes, I could still use Thunderbird to go into my expunged folder and permanently delete any email in it. If I remove the account from Thunderbird *completely* and reset it up from scratch, I can no longer "see" the namespace - but that's weak security at best, as I can still manually navigate to it and wreak havoc. How can I use Lazy_Expunge to completely PREVENT users from deleting email permanently? Thank you!

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2 and expire
by Brandon Lamb 26 Jul '10

26 Jul '10

expire_dict = proxy::expire I found this expire_dict somewhere, might have been the 1.x wiki, but on the expire plugin page there is no mention of it. I am trying to troubleshoot why my mysql table has no entries. Do I need this line? Is that correct for using mysql? In dict {} I have expire = mysql:/etc/dovecot/conf.d/dovecot-dict-expire.conf.ext and in plugin {} i have expire_dict = proxy::expire expire = Trash 30d expire2 = Trash/* 30d expire3 = Spam 14d expire4 = Spam/Removed 6h expire5 = Spam/Delivered 2d expire6 = Deleted* 30d expire7 = Archive 30d Contents of dovecot-dict-expire.conf.ext connect = host=servername dbname=mail user=un password=pw map { pattern = shared/expire/$user/$mailbox table = expires value_field = ts_expires fields { username = $user mailbox = $mailbox } } I must admit I dont understand what pattern means, I just copied from something when I was setting this up.

[Dovecot] Dovecot and LDAP - virtual hosting problem
by Pavel Dimow 26 Jul '10

26 Jul '10

Hello, I have a small ISP and we have a dovecot for virtual mail hosting with a postfix and openldap as backend. Now the problem is that there is one primary domain (example.com) and many other virtual domains with different users. When user from primary domain logs in, he is using username as his username (without domain part) and when user from virtual domain logs in, he uses username@virtualdomain as his username. I don't know how to make dovecot-ldap.conf to authenticate both users from the same ldap tree. My ldap tree is organized like: ou=people,o=example.com,dc=acme ou=people,o=somevirtdomain.cp,dc=acme and so on... The only one thing that comes on my mind is something like (default domain) in dovecot.conf (if %d is empty then %d=examle.com, othewise...) I know this option does not exist but is just comes on my mind... Maybe some specific filter_search or something like that? Than you for any help in advance.

[Dovecot] Problem with hard links in lda - please help
by Fabio Ferrari 26 Jul '10

26 Jul '10

Hello, I'm trying to enable hardlinks for messages sent to mutiple users. (I need this because I have mailing lists with 5000 users used many times a day). I've read that, to do this, I have to write a script that uses the /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver command in this way: deliver -p <FILE> -d <USER1> -d <USER2> Of course, I enabled the "socket listen" option in the configuration file to get the command line work, and set the maildir_copy_with_hardlinks = yes The deliver command works, so I have the messages correctly in the "new" directory in the maildir folder. But if I list the files, they have the "links" number = 1, so I see that the file was copied, not hardlinked! I see in the page http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA that is possible, in fact it says Parameters [...] -p <path>: Path to the mail to be delivered instead of reading from stdin. If using maildir the file is hard linked to the destination if possible. This allows a single mail to be delivered to multiple users using hard links, but currently it also prevents deliver from updating cache file so it shouldn't be used unless really necessary. (v1.1+) Of course, I use a version 1.1+ (1.2.12). Please help, thanks in advance Fabio Ferrari

[Dovecot] antispam plugin troubleshooting
by Bradley Giesbrecht 25 Jul '10

25 Jul '10

I built the dovecot antispam plugin and renamed it so I could have multiple backends installed at the same time. http://johannes.sipsolutions.net/Projects/dovecot-antispam I tried recompiling antispam without renaming the .so and I get the same result indicated below. All other plugins and the system as a whole has been functioning normally. Only when I add antispam plugin does dovecot not start and perform as expected. What can I do to find the reason dovecot is not loading lib90_antispam_mailtrain_plugin.so successfully? Below is some info I could think to supply for help.

[Dovecot] imap core dumping on signal 10
by Chris Hoogendyk 25 Jul '10

25 Jul '10

We are just trying to bring up a new server and chose to use Dovecot rather than the uw-imap from our previous servers. At this point I am just testing with some throw away accounts using squirrelmail. I can load my inbox, but then the imap connection is lost. I presume you need some real information to get your teeth into, so this is going to get a little long. I'll give you three things below: 1. a piece of /var/adm/dovecot.log, 2. the output of `dovecot -n`, and then 3. the full gdb trace back on the core file. I'm hoping that, aside from there being a bug that causes core dumps, we might have a straightforward misconfiguration that we could fix and have a working installation. All info at end. -- --------------- Chris Hoogendyk - O__ ---- Systems Administrator c/ /'_ --- Biology & Geology Departments (*) \(*) -- 140 Morrill Science Center ~~~~~~~~~~ - University of

[Dovecot] v1.2.13 released
by Timo Sirainen 25 Jul '10

25 Jul '10

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/dovecot-1.2.13.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/dovecot-1.2.13.tar.gz.sig This release fixes a bug in ACL plugin, which could be considered a security bug: If Maildir is used with default settings (INBOX is same as Maildir root dir) and user set some ACLs to INBOX, those ACLs were copied to all newly created mailboxes. This should have been done only for "default ACLs", but with Maildir the INBOX directory is the same as the default ACL directory, so this mixup happened. This bug exists only in v1.2.x releases. Other fixes: - Fixed iconv() crash when it was processing several kilobytes of broken continuous input. This mainly could have caused a problem with IMAP SEARCH. Possibly also with some Sieve checks. - If MIME encoded-words contained line feeds, Dovecot logged cache corruption errors. - mbox: Renaming mailbox under newly created dir didn't move index directory. - mbox: When generating envelope to From_-line, don't append a second @owndomain if username already has one.

[Dovecot] Shared folders issue
by Emmanuel Gonzalez Carmona 23 Jul '10

23 Jul '10

Hello guys, I have an issue with shared folders: 1) The USERA shares his INBOX with USERB 2) USERB subscribes the USERA share without problems. 3) USERA deletes all his / or some directories from his INBOX (Trash, Drafts and Sent) 4) USERA logouts and makes login, so dovecot recreates the folders. 5) USERB gains access to subscrive those folders (Trash, Drafts and Sent) this is my namespace configuration: ... namespace private { separator = / prefix = inbox = yes #list = yes #subscriptions = yes } namespace shared { separator = / prefix = "shared/%%u/" location = maildir:/maildirs/%%d/%%u/Maildir subscriptions = no list = children } ... any ideas?

hi, we are using the dovecot-rc1 version, and we are testing the director service, as there is little documentation on this service, a pair of questions.. if i'm not wrong, the proxy_maybe it's not implemented, yet? will be soon? this limitation does not allow use the same two directors servers like mail backend servers? the fairlure of one director server it's automatically detected or require manual intervention? thanks and sorry for so many questions...

[Dovecot] Doveadm protocol for parallel user processing
by Timo Sirainen 23 Jul '10

23 Jul '10

A lot of doveadm commands process users' mails. They can optionally process either a single user or multiple users (e.g. -A = all, -u '*(a)domain.org'). For example to expunge old mails from everyone's Trash, you'd use: doveadm expunge -A mailbox Trash savedbefore 30d The problem is, this doesn't work with the new director way of doing proxying. Only a single server can access a user's mails safely, so this command can't be run safely if there are multiple mail servers. It's also a bit problematic for regular proxying, but it's especially problematic with director: Since users aren't permanently assigned anywhere, it's not even possible to build a user <-> host mapping and run the command only for those users in their assigned server. First I started thinking about adding another lib-storage backend that supports proxying to another server, maybe via IMAP or maybe via another protocol. Maybe I should do that some day anyway, but it seems a bit complex for this task. Then I also realized that even if all users are on local server, it would probably finish faster if doveadm could handle users in parallel in separate processes (due to disk I/O latencies and maybe other latencies). So, it seems like it would be a good idea to make doveadm internally a client/server architecture. When you start doveadm, it would be only the "brain" part, which connects to the worker doveadms either via local UNIX socket or to remote servers. Admin could configure how many doveadm worker processes the brain should connect per server (could be a per-server setting). So, what's needed to make this happen? 1. The actual client/server split and the protocol. Probably can be really simple and won't be anything interesting. Or maybe it becomes more interesting once I start thinking about it more, we'll see. :) 2. Authentication. 3. TLS-protection? After merging code from dovecot-2.0-sslstream branch this should be pretty easy. Although Dovecot should finally then add support for checking that CommonName/etc match the server name. Authentication -------------- For local UNIX sockets that are 0600 root, the authentication wouldn't be necessary. It could internally check that if the listener socket has these permissions, it would just announce that doveadm is already authenticated. Otherwise, and especially for TCP connections, there should be authentication. I was thinking about using already existing master users for this. Doveadm client says "I'm <masteruser>, my password is <pass>, and I want to access <user>'s mails". Auth process does the authentication and replies either success or failure, just like for similar IMAP/POP3/etc logins. It's possible to restrict what users a master user can log in as, like admin(a)domain.org could only log in as *(a)domain.org. This means that you could also enable doveadm protocol for external users, and let the domain administrators use doveadm directly to manage their own domain's users. PLAIN authentication mechanism would be easy to support. But this might be a good time to also introduce client side SASL library to Dovecot to support other auth mechanisms. But then again, maybe it doesn't really matter.. Privilege dropping ------------------ I hate it that with multiple UIDs doveadm processes currently have to be run as root and they only temporarily drop privileges. With client/server split it would be possible to get rid of this. Each doveadm worker process would then handle only a single user and then exit. This would be optional similar to how login processes are now, e.g.: service doveadm { # 1 = default = one user access per process, 0 = unlimited user accesses service_count = 1 } LMTP privilege dropping ----------------------- Completely unrelated to doveadm, but due to the above doveadm privilege dropping thinking I also started thinking about LMTP. It's also annoying that it runs as root, and only temporarily drops privileges. It could also avoid this by saving a mail only to a single user per process. The problem is that there can be multiple RCPT TO:s in a same session, but this can be handled by treating them similarly than when using LMTP proxying: Just connect to localhost again and proxy the mail there for each user separately. This could also be optionally done only when the process UID differs from the destionation user's UID. When? ----- These are too invasive changes to v2.0, so I guess they'll wait until v2.1. Luckily there won't be any hugely destabilizing changes going into v2.1, so maybe v2.1.0 release won't be too many months after v2.0.0. :)

[Dovecot] quota-warning example script from wiki2
by Daniel Luttermann 22 Jul '10

22 Jul '10

Hi, in the wiki there's an example script for sending an email to an user that has exceeded his quota. Link: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Quota/Configuration The dovecot deliver command line is: dovecot-lda -d $USER -o "plugin/quota=maildir:User quota:noenforcing" I wonder about -o: seems to be "undocumented" because I've found no information about this parameter. If this parameter is needed what if I use dict instead of maildir? Is the syntax different? Thanks. -- Daniel

[Dovecot] v2.0.rc3 released
by Timo Sirainen 22 Jul '10

22 Jul '10

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/rc/dovecot-2.0.rc3.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/rc/dovecot-2.0.rc3.tar.gz.sig A lot of dsync fixes. I think I've fixed now all of the bugs ever reported about dsync and I'm hopeful that it's now stable. All the rest of Dovecot looks pretty good too. Maybe v2.0.0 will be out next week. Changes since rc2: * Single-dbox is now called "sdbox" instead of "dbox". "dbox" will stay as an alias for it for now. + Added mail_temp_dir setting, used by deliver and lmtp for creating temporary mail files. Default is /tmp. + doveadm: Added "director map" command to list user -> host mappings. - imap: Fixed checking if list=children namespace has children. - director: If all login processes died, director stopped reading proxy-notify input and caused future login processes to hang - mail_log plugin configuration was broken - Using more than 2 plugins could have caused broken behavior - mdbox: Race condition fixes related to copying and purging - dsync: Lots of fixes

Hello Everyone.... I need to develop some plugins, but i can't know if is possible to do or not. 1 - There is a way to deny a email to be moved from one folder to another ? example: the user is only allowed to move mails in Spam Folder to Trash Folder. If yes, were i can find a code example or a plugin to extract some idea. 2 - It's possible to deny a user to create a subscription folder ? example: with autocreate plugin, i create a Spam Folder, but if the autocreate is not configured to this user, it can't create manually this same folder. If yes, were i can find a code example or a plugin to extract some idea. Tks !

Hi Timo, I'm using doveadm in my script to create [sm]dboxes. For some reason I forgot to remove the -7 option in my script.

[Dovecot] NFS Maildirs

Hi, We have our user homedirs on nfs so I enabled nfs parameters in dovecot.conf. Everything works fine but when I want to delete a homedir of a user I can't delete it because I can't remove the .nfs files in the Maildir.

[Dovecot] Feature request: usernames and passwords
by Thanos Chatziathanassiou 21 Jul '10

21 Jul '10

A relatively recent development that spammers got wind of is users that have username==password, with/without the domain. I am tracking numerous 1-off attempts from bots to gain access to mailboxes this way. Situation isn't made any better if you're also using dovecot as SMTP AUTH provider for I am ashamed to admit I've relayed some spam that way. Would it be possible to deny login if username==password with a (non?)polite/custom message to go change your password to something less obvious ?

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.0 progress?
by Guy 21 Jul '10

21 Jul '10

Hi, Been having a look at the roadmap on the wiki for Dovecot 2.0 and I was wondering how that's progressing? Are you able to offer a guesstimate on how far it is from stable Timo? Just asking because we're moving to new servers soon and I'm considering using the opportunity to switch from Dovecot/Maildrop/Maildir to Dovecot/deliver/mdbox if 2.0 is likely to be reasonably safe to use in the next month or so. Thanks Guy -- Don't just do something...sit there!

[Dovecot] Dinamic 'mail_location' for each user
by Thiago Henrique 21 Jul '10

21 Jul '10

Hello, I have a lot of domains in a mail server, so I make a balanced allocation of mailboxes in the storage disks. That improves performance of access to records. Therefore, I want to overwrite 'mail_location' directive for each user. But I also want to use the modifier 'H' to spray the mailboxes of the same partition in a hash. Then, each user has your own 'mail_location' that I would like load from database. Like this: mdbox:/var/spool/imap/partition1/%256HRu/%u:INDEX=/var/lib/imap/user/% 256HRu/%u partition1 is in range [partition1 .. partiton7] In my tests the '%256HRu/%u' kind of 'mail_location' is not being interpreted by Dovecot. Can Dovecot to interpret 'mail_location' load from database ? Thank you. -- []'s Thiago Henrique Network Administration Digirati Networks K8 Networks

[Dovecot] Login process connection routing
by Brandon Davidson 20 Jul '10

20 Jul '10

Timo, Just out of curiosity, how are incoming connections routed to login processes when run with: service imap-login { service_count = 0 } I've been playing with this on our test director, and the process connection counts look somewhat unbalanced. I'm wondering if there are any performance issues with having a single process handle so many connections. It seems fine (system load is actually lower than with service_count = 1), but I thought I'd ask. /usr/sbin/dovecot \_ dovecot/imap-login \_ dovecot/imap-login [1 connections (1 TLS)] \_ dovecot/imap-login \_ dovecot/imap-login [5 connections (5 TLS)] \_ dovecot/imap-login [1 connections (1 TLS)] \_ dovecot/imap-login [4 connections (4 TLS)] \_ dovecot/imap-login [1 connections (1 TLS)] \_ dovecot/imap-login [1 connections (1 TLS)] \_ dovecot/imap-login [315 connections (315 TLS)] \_ dovecot/imap-login [63 connections (63 TLS)] \_ dovecot/imap-login [12 connections (12 TLS)] \_ dovecot/imap-login \_ dovecot/imap-login [10 connections (10 TLS)] \_ dovecot/imap-login [2 connections (2 TLS)] \_ dovecot/imap-login [370 connections (370 TLS)] \_ dovecot/imap-login [24 connections (24 TLS)] -Brad

[Dovecot] Doveadm director flush/remove
by Brandon Davidson 20 Jul '10

20 Jul '10

I've got a couple more issues with the doveadm director interface: 1) If I use "doveadm director remove" to disable a host with active users, the director seems to lose track of users mapped to that host. I guess I would expect it to tear down any active sessions by killing the login proxies, like I'd done 'doveadm direct add HOSTNAME 0 && doveadm director flush HOSTNAME' before removing it? Here's what I see with an active open connection: [root@cc-popmap7 ~]# doveadm director status brandond Current: 10.142.0.179 (expires 2010-07-14 01:26:14) Hashed: 10.142.0.179 Initial config: 10.142.0.161 [root@cc-popmap7 ~]# doveadm director remove 10.142.0.179 [root@cc-popmap7 ~]# doveadm director status brandond Current: not assigned Hashed: 10.142.0.174 Initial config: 10.142.0.161 2) "doveadm director flush" returns the wrong usage: [root@cc-popmap7 ~]# doveadm director flush doveadm director remove [-a <director socket path>] <host> 3) "doveadm director flush" all breaks the ring: [root@cc-popmap7 ~]# doveadm director flush all Jul 14 01:26:33 cc-popmap7 dovecot: director: Error: Director 10.142.0.180:1234/right disconnected Jul 14 01:26:33 cc-popmap7 dovecot: director: Error: Director 10.142.0.180:1234/left disconnected Jul 14 01:26:33 oh-popmap7 dovecot: director: Error: director(10.142.0.162:1234/left): Invalid HOST-FLUSH args Jul 14 01:26:33 oh-popmap7 dovecot: director: Error: director(10.142.0.162:1234/right): Invalid HOST-FLUSH args For some reason, flushing a host address only disconnects one side: [root@cc-popmap7 ~]# doveadm director flush 10.142.0.160 Jul 14 01:28:23 cc-popmap7 dovecot: director: Error: Director 10.142.0.180:1234/right disconnected Jul 14 01:28:23 oh-popmap7 dovecot: director: Error: director(10.142.0.162:1234/left): Invalid HOST-FLUSH args -Brad

[Dovecot] [dovecot] Dovecot Migration so far
by Mark Moseley 20 Jul '10

20 Jul '10

We've been doing our own beta testing of Dovecot 2.0-beta4 IMAP (both direct IMAP and webmail-fronted), and we've had nothing but glowing compliments from our beta users/victims. I've also been running a lone box with the latest mercurial build and that's been running just fine too. All mail data is on NFS, but I've put indexes on the local disk, which has worked just dandy so far. Everything's been great and all I've seen amiss are a few random problems -- all of which are are barely impacting us and I mention only for the sake of feedback. All boxes are Debian Lenny i386, running 2.6.33.1. One oddity is that I see lots of messages like this (I've obfuscated paths/IPs/usernames, so assume paths are all actually correct) for a variety of different mailboxes prior to their indexes directory getting initially created: Apr 02 13:25:24 imap(mail@box): Error: creat(/var/tmp/Indexes/14/75/mail(a)box/dovecot.mailbox.log) failed: No such file or directory Judging by the mtimes of the containing directories, the directory was created a couple of seconds after the error gets logged, so I'm guessing mailbox_log_alloc is just getting called too early. It obviously just happens that first time. Doesn't seem to actually be hurting anything, that I can tell. One other kind of weird thing I saw was that originally I had my indexes on a dedicated partition with ext4 (Debian Lenny, i386, 2.6.33.1), I was seeing scattered messages like this: Mar 29 18:02:38 imap(mail@box): Error: FETCH [] for mailbox INBOX UID 3244 got too little data: 1116 vs 1087383 Mar 29 18:02:38 imap(mail@box): Error: Corrupted index cache file /var/tmp/Indexes/12/dc/mail(a)box/.INBOX/dovecot.index.cache: Broken virtual size for mail UID 3244 The message corresponding with UID 3244 was around 1116 bytes (+32 bytes, IIRC), so no clue where the 1087383. In all the cases of that error I saw, the lefthand number of bytes was very closer to correct and the righthand was way way off, and the S= flag in the filename was correct too. I'm guessing that the random righthand number was just due to corrupted cache. When I reformatted that partition as ext3, the error went almost completely away (just a few total over the past few days, as opposed to a few per hour when it was on ext4). I don't even have an educated guess as to why that'd happen. A wild guess would be that ext4's delayed allocation was causing problems. Even under ext4, it was still pretty rare and only, say, 1 out of 100 imap logins. And ext3 performance on the indexes partition so far has been just fine, so I don't plan on switching back to ext4 -- though if anyone has any experience with putting indexes on reiserfs and/or xfs versus ext3, I'd love to hear your thoughts. I've also seen a couple of these in the past few days (on beta4, not repo version -- haven't been running repo version long enough to say if it'd do the same): Mar 31 21:52:54 imap(mail@box): Error: fdatasync(/mail/username/mail@box/Maildir/dovecot-uidlist) failed: Input/output error Mar 31 21:52:54 imap(mail@box): Error: Raw backtrace: /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0 [0xb77c0b71] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0 [0xb77c0bef] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_error+0) [0xb77c0ea8] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_index_sync_begin_to+0x9a9) [0xb7837ca9] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_index_sync_begin+0x56) [0xb7837d56] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(maildir_sync_index_begin+0x51) [0xb78734d1] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0 [0xb78716eb] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(maildir_storage_sync_force+0x4d) [0xb78719bd] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(maildir_uidlist_lookup+0x96) [0xb7877646] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0 [0xb787215a] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(maildir_sync_index+0x7f0) [0xb78729d0] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0 [0xb78715b6] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(maildir_storage_sync_init+0x162) [0xb7871b92] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mailbox_sync_init+0x39) [0xb7815759] -> dovecot/imap [mail@box 215.108.28.102 UID](imap_sync_init+0x54) [0x805efa4] -> dovecot/imap [mail@box 215.108.28.102 UID](cmd_sync_delayed+0x223) [0x805f2a3] -> dovecot/imap [mail@box 215.108.28.102 UID](client_output+0xb6) [0x8056de6] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0 [0xb77d5d4a] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0xf5) [0xb77cd1d5] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x30) [0xb77cc220] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(master_service_run+0x2a) [0xb77b9e1a] -> dovecot/imap [mail@box 215.108.28.102 UID](main+0x1c5) [0x805f8e5] -> /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe5) [0xb764d455] -> dovecot/imap [mail@box 215.108.28.102 UID] [0x804e621] Mar 31 21:52:54 master: Error: service(imap): child 4500 killed with signal 6 (core dumps disabled) In 4 days of beta testing with a fair number of users, I've seen maybe 4 of these backtraces total, so not exactly a big issue.

[Dovecot] About Logging
by Henrique Fernandes 20 Jul '10

20 Jul '10

It is possible to make dovecot do not log any request from a determined host? Because, we gonna use ldirectord for foward request and etc and the ldirectord makes an connecting every 2 seconds to find out if the server is ok, and also make a login in imap and pop3 to check this service as well. Is there any how to make dovecot do not log entries for a determined host ? The logs get too many info that we don need! Any ideias ? Thanks! * *i have sent a msg like this, but i got no answer i thought i might have not deliver into the mailist! I am sorry if it already have it!* *[]'sf.rique

[Dovecot] Unknown column username in where clause
by Daniel Luttermann 20 Jul '10

20 Jul '10

Version: Dovecot 2.0 rc2 I'm testing Dovecot with MySQL quotas but I get always this error for incoming mails: tux dovecot: lmtp(4928): Error: user testuser(a)dlutt.de: Auth USER lookup failed tux dovecot: auth: Error: mysql: Query failed, retrying: Unknown column 'username' in 'where clause' I dont' know where the field "username" should come from because I don't use this field (or query). The relevant files are: dovecot-sql.conf.ext ==================== password_query = SELECT userid AS user, password, \ home AS userdb_home, uid AS userdb_uid, gid AS userdb_gid, \ concat('*:bytes=', quota_bytes) as userdb_quota_rule \ FROM users WHERE userid = '%u' auth-sql.conf.ext ================= passdb { driver = sql args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext } userdb { driver = prefetch } userdb { driver = sql args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext } 90-quota.conf ============= plugin { quota = dict:user::proxy::quota quota_rule = *:storage=0 } dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext ========================= map { pattern = priv/quota/storage table = quota username_field = userid value_field = bytes } map { pattern = priv/quota/messages table = quota username_field = userid value_field = messages } I've grepped through all config files but I can't find any (active) query which uses the above "where username=...". The quota db gets correctly updated if an user logs in so the problem only exists during mail delivery. My SQL tables were crated as follows: CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `users` ( `userid` varchar(100) NOT NULL, `password` varchar(64) NOT NULL, `home` varchar(255) NOT NULL, `uid` int(11) NOT NULL, `gid` int(11) NOT NULL, `quota_bytes` varchar(10) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`userid`) ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1; CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `quota` ( `userid` varchar(100) NOT NULL, `bytes` bigint(20) NOT NULL default '0', `messages` int(11) NOT NULL default '0', PRIMARY KEY (`userid`) ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1; -- Daniel

[Dovecot] namespace trouble
by Kevin Faulkner 20 Jul '10

20 Jul '10

I am having some trouble with dovecot 1.2.12 and some namespace issues, or at least that's what I think is the issue. I setup a virtual mailhosting using mysql and postfix. I can receive email and send email without a problem, but when I use mutt to sign in to dovecot, I can't list any Folders, it see's INBOX but it doesn't see any mail. I generally try to not post my problems online, but I searched around on the Internet and I couldn't find anything similar to this issue. I also used kmail to connect to the and it is able to see the mail, but when I can't create any folders. mutt connecting option: mutt set spoolfile=imaps://server.here/INBOX." Here is the mutt debug (mutt -d 3) 4< a0001 OK Capability completed. 4< * LIST (\Noselect) "."

[Dovecot] Unable to get Dovecot LDA/deliver working
by Frank van Amsterdam 20 Jul '10

20 Jul '10

I want to setup Dovecot LDA, but I don't understand what I'm doing anymore. I have to note that I'm a Linux beginner. I've been trying now for several months and I'm about to give up. Till so far I'm having no result. :-( My current setup is done as described at http://www.linuxmail.info. We use Postfix 2.3.3 (with Postgrey, Spamassassin and ClamAV), Dovecot 1.2.11 and OpenLDAP 2.4.1 on CentOS 5.5. All incoming e-mail are delivered by Postfix in the users' maildir. We use this as a base for SOGo, our groupware solution and it runs smoothly. I have to setup a new mailserver, because we're standardising on Debian. My employer wants to have new functions like out-of-office-replies and forwarding. I want to make use of sieve. Unfortunately I don't know anyone who can help me. My problem is that I don't understand how the delivery process is working. I've read much documentation from Postfix and Dovecot, but I find it too difficult to understand. What do I understand?

[Dovecot] How to install sieve
by Carsten Laun-De Lellis 19 Jul '10

19 Jul '10

Hi all I do have a problem. I have an installation on opensuse 11.2 with postfix, amavis, spamassassin and dovecot 1.2.9 with a mysql authtentication backend. Everything works fine. I want now to install sieve, but i failed all the time. I downloaded dovecot-1.2-sieve-0.1.17 and followed the installation how-to. First when i tried to ./configure the installation i was always asked for dovecot-config. I managed this problem with a symlink. But when i try to run make i always got the following error message. I would appreciate any help. Kind regards, Carsten Laun-De Lellis ../../sieve-result.h:143: error: expected declaration specifiers or â...â before âboolâ In file included from cmd-vacation.c:27: ../../sieve-message.h:18: warning:

[Dovecot] Deleting Index Files and Expire Tool
by Tom Goerger 19 Jul '10

19 Jul '10

Hi, In order to periodically deal with corrupted index files in Dovecot, we routinely will remove a users .imap folder in order to have the indexes rebuild. This hasn't ever caused a problem previously. However, removing the user's index files seems to break the ability of the expire plugin to update the expire stamp correctly, or expunge mail from the user folder. This seems logical, with the reliance of expire on the index.cache files. In testing, actually emptying the trash (since we're only concerned about Trash folders) resets the mailbox to a degree that the expire tool functions properly again. My question is, is there a better way to handle corrupted cache files? Is there a more graceful way to rebuild these using Dovecot tools? Or is there a more specific index file that can be removed, rather than removing the entire hierarchy? We're using Dovecot 1.1.6, on Solaris 10. -- Tom Goerger University of Minnesota - Internet Services

[Dovecot] Proxy IMAP/POP/ManageSieve/SMTP in a large cluster enviroment
by Aliet Santiesteban Sifontes 19 Jul '10

19 Jul '10

Hi to all in the list, we are trying to do some tests lab for a large scale mail system having this requirements: - Scale to maybe 1million users(Only for testing). - Server side filters. - User quotas. - High concurrency. - High performance and High Availability. We plan to test this using RHEL5 and maybe RHEL6. As a storage we are going to use an HP EVA 8400 FC(8 GB/s) We defined this functional roles. 1- Outgoing SMTP gateway servers. - Load balanced with Piranha LVS using Direct Routing. - ( n servers)RHEL5/6 using Postfix Latest version Amavisd-new Clamav Spamassasin maybe some other filters. 2- Incomming SMTP gateway servers. - Load balanced with Piranha LVS using Direct Routing. - RHEL5/6 using Postfix Latest version Amavisd-new Clamav Spamassasin( n servers) maybe some other filters. 3- Webmail Cluster farm. - Load balanced with Piranha LVS using Direct Routing. - ( n servers)RHEL5/6 using RHCS Active/Active. Apache2 PHP5 Horde. 4- Openldap load balanced openldap cluster. - Load balanced with Piranha LVS using Direct Routing. - ( n servers)RHEL5/6 using Openldap. 5- IMAP/POP/ManageSieve/SMTP Proxy or Director. - Load balanced with Piranha LVS using Direct Routing. - ( n servers)RHEL5/6 using Dovecot - Postfix(Director or Proxy). 6- Mail backend. - ( n servers)RHEL5/6 using Dovecot. Now for functional role 6 "Mail Backend" we have some dilemmas. - Recommended scalable filesystem to use for such scenario(Clustered or not). -GFS2?? We have very bad experiences with GFS1 and maildir, GFS2 doesn't seems to improve this also. Using some techniques for session afinity with a backend server seems to help with the locking problems of GFS and the cache. Using GFS many IMAP SMTP servers can in parallel write or read to user mailboxes, if GFS can perform well we prefer this, will have to proxy o use director for the cache problem. - Ext4, Ext3 well tested with many setups but only one backend server can access one ext4 lun, so we have to proxy a user always to a ip backend address or VIP in a case of failure cluster software has to move the server to another node, the cluster service is formed by a IP Address and one or many Luns wich moves from node to node in a case of failure. - Recommended scalable method for partition divition. - Directory Hashing(How it actually works the theory behind this), we see the wiki but we need to understand the theory to balance the directory structure. - Using some criteria ex Lun1(a-h users), Lun2(i-m users).... - Proxy or Director is a must for a Clustered Filsystem or for the solution of a user belonging to one server. - In case we use a Proxy with dovecot we know we can use it with IMAP/POP but are not sure for ManageSieve and more important for SMTP. The question is, how can we proxy for the same user IMAP/POP/ManageSieve and SMTP delivery to mailbox at the same time, can the incoming mail gateways send the email to the proxy servers and dovecot proxy the request for smtp or lmtp appply the same proxy criteria that uses for the protocols IMAP and POP and send the email to the correct backend server and this server do the final delivery?? I mean proxy all the protocols for a user IMAP/POP/SMTP-LMTP?? Any example... Right now we have doubts on this stuff, we are really going to appreciate any help or advice on this... best regards

[Dovecot] Haha wow, thats freakin cool... mdbox
by Brandon Lamb 19 Jul '10

19 Jul '10

It didnt really click until I had a "ls -ald *" on watch while I moved messages around folders using mdbox... I moved about 200 first to an Archive folder, and scratched my head wondering why i didnt see any new m.* files being created after the move. So then I moved some 5k other messages from other folders to my archive folder... Then it dawned on me, how damn cool, the data never changes, dovecot just updates its index of what folder the message is in?! That is awesome! Also, I ended up answering my own question on the 2m mdbox_rotate_size, if a 10 meg email comes through it will write a 10 meg file, so thats cool too.

Anyone else test using different values? Was 2M chosen as a default based on anything specific? Is there any kind of known range where performance starts to go downhill if its greater than x or less than y? Im curious if there would be any obvious reason why I shouldnt set it to 5-10 megs

[Dovecot] users can not login
by Daminto Lie 19 Jul '10

19 Jul '10

Hi, I was wondering if I could get some help here. Recently, I decided I want to move from Windows XP Pro OS to a Linux OS such as Ubuntu. I am new to Linux OS but willing to learn. I have installed Ubuntu Server 10.04, Apache2, MySQL5, PHPMyAdmin, Postfix, DoveCot and Squirrelmail on my server. I have checked them all and they are all up and running at the moment. Now, what I am trying to do here is to add a couple of users and see whether they can login to squirrelmail. The result is none of those two users are able to login. I went to check the mail.log and the error message is as follows Ubuntu-MailServer dovecot: imap-login: Aborted login (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=<david.keith>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured My silly question is I do not quite understand what the above error means. How do i enable users to login and test to see if they can send and receive emails. Users can login via squirrelmail. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Dovecot] pam needs root with 2.0rc2 on Solaris?
by Laurent Blume 19 Jul '10

19 Jul '10

Hello all, I have a question using PAM to authenticate on Solaris 10, with 2.0rc2. I need to set the user for auth-worker to root, else it will return "Unknown user". Is that expected? I'm using PAM, so why does it need access to /etc/shadow? TIA! Laurent service auth-worker { # Auth worker process is run as root by default, so that it can access # /etc/shadow. If this isn't necessary, the user should be changed to # $default_internal_user. user = root #user = dovecot } Jul 18 09:59:31 tiphaine dovecot: [ID 583609 mail.info] auth: pam(user,127.0.0.1): unknown user

[Dovecot] Questions about dbox (sdbox?), mdbox
by Brandon Lamb 18 Jul '10

18 Jul '10

Hello, So ive spent the last 45 minutes or so searching the list for dbox stuff, but Im not seeing anything real definitive. My question is basically whether the dbox format is ready for production environment, is sdbox or mdbox more stable/ready than the other or does it matter? What are people's experience/review with running this format (and if you reply can you tell me which one you're using). Is there any docs/wiki page for migrating from maildir -> dbox? Searching for "dbox" on the wiki only returns two results, and only one is actually for dbox. What I have (maildir format) is working, but who doesnt like shiny new toys? =P I have ~450gigs / 14k pop accounts I would have to migrate. Oh thats another question, I have seen "hybrid" throw around, can I take this to mean dbox/mdbox/both support both formats, maybe only new mail goes into the dbox stuff? And if so (or even if not) is there any way to actually convert from maildir to dbox? If anyone has any links that I cant seem to find by consulting the oracle (google) that would be fantastic =)

[Dovecot] mdbox expunge purge question
by Daniel Luttermann 17 Jul '10

17 Jul '10

Hi, I'm testing Dovecot 2.0rc2 with mdbox mail format and I'm not sure what this exactly means: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/dbox Quote from wiki page: ===== Expunging a message only decreases the message's refcount. The space is later freed in "purge" step. This may be done automatically within the session or later in a nightly cronjob when there's less disk I/O. ===== So this means that even if a user deletes a mail the space gets only freed if I run "doveadm purge" manually or an user requests this over his mail client? When the expunge plugin is used the deleted mails are stored in a special mailbox in the users mailbox so it's needed to use the expire plugin too if this should be done automatically? Is it recommend to run "doveadm purge" periodically if mdbox is used? Btw: when I try to run doveadm -Dv expunge -u testuser(a)dlutt.de mailbox Trash savedbefore 30d for example I get such an error: doveadm(root): Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules doveadm(root): Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lib01_acl_plugin.so doveadm(root): Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/doveadm doveadm(root): Error: dlopen(/usr/lib/dovecot/modules/doveadm/lib10_doveadm_expire_plugin.so) failed: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/doveadm/lib10_doveadm_expire_plugin.so: undefined symbol: expire_set_lookup doveadm(root): Error: dlopen(/usr/lib/dovecot/modules/doveadm/lib10_doveadm_quota_plugin.so) failed: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/doveadm/lib10_doveadm_quota_plugin.so: undefined symbol: quota_user_module Plugin expire or expunge is not currently enabled in Dovecot's config. Thanks for any hints. Daniel

[Dovecot] Temporary files
by Timo Sirainen 16 Jul '10

16 Jul '10

In v1.0 .. v1.1 deliver was writing incoming >128k mail to /tmp file (to avoid reading it all into memory). In v1.2 I moved it to user's home directory. This slowed deliveries for NFS users. Also people with filesystem quota had trouble since now user required twice as much available quota to save a message. The FS quota problem was "solved" by having quota-fs plugin change the default temp file path to /tmp. So why was the move made in the first place? Because a) some people had small (maybe ramfs) /tmp and Dovecot was eating it all up and b) to avoid any potential security issues with storing per-user files to a shared directory. I'm now thinking about a new setting (mail_temp_dir?) for v2.0 where these temp files would be stored (lda, lmtp, some others in future). Maybe the b) problem isn't that huge, so maybe there doesn't need to be a way to store them to user's home. So that leaves a) problem. Maybe the setting could default to /var/tmp instead of /tmp? That probably has more disk space available usually. (I hope /var/tmp is available everywhere?) Any thoughts?

[Dovecot] Ok, I've given up
by Chuck McManis 15 Jul '10

15 Jul '10

Sigh, In the interest of moving forward on this project I've given up trying to get Dovecot to support mailboxes, rather I've tweaked around in qmail and had it deliver into a mail directory on a disk, that isn't NFS mounted. That got me past the various locking complaints and "operation not supported" on home directories that were mounted from the NetApp filer. Going as vanilla as possible I've managed to both send an email that qmail delivered and fetch the email with my 3 test clients (Eudora, Thunderbird, and Evolution) (I know they are, in a sense, all variations on a theme but MUA monoculture seems to be inevitable these days). So a few questions for the other esteemed system operators here if you know the answer I'd love to hear it. Question 1) Are my user's passwords safe from prying eyes? First, part of this effort was to move off of an APOP infrastructure into something more secure against password eavesdropping. To that end I've configured Dovecot with simply: protocols = pop3 service pop3-login { inet_listener pop3s { port = 995 ssl = yes } } Note that there is NO port = 110 listener and yet Dovecot seems to listen there anyway. My question, can I be sure that it is not accepting non-SSL based connections? Attempts to use plaintext on 110 were rebuffed so that seems to be the case. My intent is that if my user is using this in an airport they won't give away their email password to a bad guy who is sniffing all the packets. Question 2) Is there any way to run dovecot from tcpserver ? One of the things I like is the program tcpserver. I like it because I can simply "not allow" large chunks of the internet to connect at all to certain ports. (I use this for SSH in particular since all the kids love throwing dictionary attacks around). I'd like to give my POP3 ports equivalent protection. I also like the logging facilities of the supervise / multilog service. To use this I'd need Dovecot to accept the connection handed to it, and not do the whole setsid daemon thing since tcpserver will start another one if needed. I can send the logging out to stderr (thanks!) and get the logging stuff but still wondering about the 'hand you a connection.' --Chuck

[Dovecot] help on migrating some old Maildirs
by Leonardo Rodrigues 15 Jul '10

15 Jul '10

Hi, i need to restore some old mail backups from a system i wasnt the admin. Emails are on Maildir, which i'm using on the actual server, so should be no big deal. I'm just thinking of copying files from the folders i need, from the old backup, to the specific dirs on the actual system. buuuut, watching the backup, i noticed that LOTS of files on the Maildirs do not have the S= parameters on its name nor W=. For example: 1230230396.V80bI4e007fM790805.correio.domain.com.br:2, 1230463524.V80bI4e0080M837823.correio.domain.com.br:2, 1230571206.V80bI4e0081M519106.correio.domain.com.br:2, 1231170098.V80bI4e0083M519957.correio.domain.com.br:2, 1231682500.V80bI4e0084M584988.correio.domain.com.br:2, files from the actual system looks like: 1278311553.M754372P13693.correio.domain.com.br,S=5742,W=5864:2, 1278668323.M110437P31421.correio.domain.com.br,S=4489,W=4590:2, 1278311669.M981814P13835.correio.domain.com.br,S=7404,W=7563:2, 1278669074.M556000P31506.correio.domain.com.br,S=4397,W=4504:2, i've already tested copying those files to a current Maildir and it works just fine, no problem at all on that. There's no problem on the restore of those messages itself. Anyway, my questions are .... 1) do the lack of S= and W= parameters will negatively impact on something ? Quota calculation comes to my head about that .... as i'll have to restore several thousands of messages, i'm worried about negative impacts on anything 2) is there any way of having dovecot to calculating the S= and W= parameters and renaming those files and, thus, avoiding some negative impact caused by the lack of them ? i'm using dovecot 1.2.11 ...... thanks ! -- Atenciosamente / Sincerily, Leonardo Rodrigues Solutti Tecnologia http://www.solutti.com.br Minha armadilha de SPAM, NÃO mandem email gertrudes(a)solutti.com.br My SPAMTRAP, do not email it

[Dovecot] Director proxy timeout
by Brad Davidson 14 Jul '10

14 Jul '10

Timo, Is the director proxy inactivity timeout configurable? I just recently attempted to switch our production webmail's imapproxy system to use a pool of two directors and ran into problems with it apparently disconnecting them unexpectedly. I don't believe that it IDLEs, I think it just UNSELECTs to reset the state and then keeps the connection open until it's used again, or until a configurable delay has elapsed, after which it logs out on its own. I've got the imapproxy inactivity delay set to 300 seconds, and it seems like the director is disconnecting them before that time is up. I haven't had the same problem when imapproxy connects directly to the backend servers, which are running 1.2.12. On the webmail system, imapproxy is logging a LOT of: Jul 11 21:10:21 cc-mailapps1 in.imapproxyd[28477]: IMAP_Line_Read(): connection closed prematurely. The director shows: Jul 11 21:10:14 cc-popmap7p dovecot: imap-login: proxy(jacintha): disconnecting 172.25.142.164 The backend server shows: Jul 11 21:10:14 cc-popmap2p dovecot: imap: user=<jacintha>, rip=10.142.0.162, pid=8629: Connection closed bytes=855/46109 Roundcube seems to handle the disconnects pretty badly, leaving a bunch of Apache processes chewing up CPU time. -Brad

[Dovecot] pigeonhole, regex, UTF-8
by Trever L. Adams 14 Jul '10

14 Jul '10

Hello, I am just learning about pigeonhole and thinking of using it. I see that regex doesn't supportf UTF-8. Any particular reason for this? If it is a library problem is the library, have you looked at tre? I am using it in a project (I am using it in wchar_t mode because elsewhere all date is converted to wchar_t). It does work with UTF-8. Thanks, Trever

[Dovecot] domain quota dictionary
by alex 14 Jul '10

14 Jul '10

Hi I just configure dovecot with the second dictionary for the domain quota dict { quotadict = mysql:/usr/local/etc/dovecot-quota.conf quota_domain = mysql:/usr/local/etc/dovecot-quota-domain.conf } plugin { quota = dict:user::proxy::quotadict quota2 = dict:domain:%d:proxy::quota_domain } and the dovecot-quota-domain.conf looks like this : connect = host=xxx dbname=xxx user=xxxx password=xxxx map { pattern = priv/quota/storage table = domain_quota username_field = domain value_field = used_quota } map { pattern = priv/quota/messages table = domain_quota username_field = domain value_field = messages } The problem is that the dictionary table gets updated only with the first mailbox informations (quota and messages for the first mailbox within domain that is accessed). I suppose that have something to do with the pattern but I can't find any docs for what the pattern must look in the case of a domain quota dictionary. Can anybody help me with a working example or some docs. Alex

[Dovecot] Impossible to share INBOX with other users
by Daniel Stoye 14 Jul '10

14 Jul '10

Hello, i am currently testing Dovecot 2.0 rc1 with Maildir format, and it seems impossible to share the Inbox of one user with another user. user1 shares Inbox with user2 user2 makes List command: 1 list "" "*" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Sent" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "AutoCleanSpam" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Trash" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Drafts" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "INBOX" * LIST (\Noselect \HasNoChildren) "/" "FremdeOrdner" 1 OK List completed. INBOX of user1 which was shared is missing! user1 shares Trash/test with user2: user2 makes List command: 1 list "" "*" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Sent" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "AutoCleanSpam" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Trash" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Drafts" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "INBOX" * LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "/" "FremdeOrdner" * LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "/" "FremdeOrdner/user1" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "FremdeOrdner/user1/Trash/test" 1 OK List completed. Trash/test is there, INBOX of user1 is still missing! Filesystem structure is as folled: ~user1/maildir/dovecot-acl: user=user2 ilrws ~user1/maildir/dovecot-acl-list: 1278592283 Trash/test Now there is the following problem: ~user1/maildir/dovecot-acl-list BEFORE list command of user2: 1278592732 INBOX 1278592283 Trash/test ~user1/maildir/dovecot-acl-list AFTER list command of user2: 1278592283 Trash/test It seems, that after user2 makes the list command, the acl for INBOX is gone missing.

[Dovecot] Migrating to dovecot configuration questions
by Adam 14 Jul '10

14 Jul '10

I am currently running a mail server on an earlier version of Red Hat Advanced Server, sendmail and UW IMAP (imap-2007e). I am considering changing to Dovecot for IMAP but have a few configuration questions in regards to a hashed directory setup. Right now the mail spool for everyone's mailbox is located in /var/mail/first letter of email address/second letter of email address, for example ajaym would be found in /var/mail/a/j ,email address john would be in /var/mail/j/o and so on..... Most users using IMAP have a home directory where they can store their personal folders, trash, sent items, etc.. in /home/username. I am looking for some configuration information on making a smooth transition from UW IMAP to Dovecot and keeping the existing directory structure. Any info or suggestions?? Thanks Adam -

[Dovecot] mailbox_storage_vfuncs: mailbox_open -> ? in 2.0
by Trever L. Adams 13 Jul '10

13 Jul '10

Hello, I am working on fixing dovecot-antispam to work with dovecot 2.0. I am down to three errors/warnigns that concern me. The one I need help from those more familiar with dovecot internals is in the subject. What happened to mailbox_open? Did it disappear? Did it get renamed? It appears that I am needing to override some methods: if (need_folder_hook) { /* override save_init to override want_mail, we need that */ box->v.save_begin = antispam_save_begin; box->v.save_finish = antispam_save_finish; box->v.transaction_begin = antispam_mailbox_transaction_begin; box->v.transaction_commit = antispam_mailbox_transaction_commit; box->v.transaction_rollback = antispam_mailbox_transaction_rollback; box->v.copy = antispam_copy; } if (need_keyword_hook) box->v.mail_alloc = antispam_mailbox_mail_alloc; Thank you for any help.

[Dovecot] list=children versus alpine
by Matthias Rieber 13 Jul '10

13 Jul '10

Hi, when I add a collection in Alpine, Apline verifies the existence of the added folder/namespace, like for instance adding 'common.': 0a LIST "common." "" 0b LIST "" common Common is a shared folder. Some folder are available under that namespace. With list=yes Alpine can add the collection, with list=children it's not possible. Alpine thinks that the folder doesn't exist and it tries to create it. This results in a "Namespace already exists." error. 'LIST "" common' seems to return different results. I expected that list=children and list=all behave identical as long as there are folders in that namespace. Regards, Matthias

[Dovecot] Master Users
by Ben Watts 13 Jul '10

13 Jul '10

Greetings, My company is currently using dovecot with ldap, I am in the process of migrating this over to Exchange. However, to make the process a lot smoother I need to make use of the master user function of dovecot to enable access to other users mailboxes without needing their password. I've gone through the documentation but it looks like this might not be possible with an ldap backend. The wiki isnt exactly crystal clear on where the master user config needs to go. I've generated a passdb file with an admin user and password. Any information that would go to help would be very welcome. Cheers --

[Dovecot] Dovecot "deliver" with multiple UIDs (security question)
by Buzai Andras 12 Jul '10

12 Jul '10

Hi all, I have a question related to using the Dovecot LDA (deliver) with a multiple UID setup as described on the http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA page in the "Multiple UIDs" section. I run Postfix (virtual mailboxes) + Dovecot using multiple UIDs (one UID per virtual domain owner). I configured Postfix to use Dovecot Deliver for the virtual transport. To overcome the problem of multiple UIDs I used the solution described on the http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA page in the "Multiple UIDs" section. I used the "sudo" solution as described on the page. I only call the deliver with sudo from inside Postfix and the sudoer user is only allowed to sudo on the deliver binary. My question is: Is this solution secure? Can It be used on a production environment? What exactly happens in the background from the time I call "deliver" with sudo, to the time the delivery is finished? The configuration works. The emails get delivered but I am concerned about the security of this setup :(. Thank you, Buzai Andras

[Dovecot] TLS Issue
by Leander S. 12 Jul '10

12 Jul '10

Hi, I use Postfix & Dovecot with TLS / SSL - it authenticates / works fine - except I'm always getting this ugly SSL cert warning messages mit MTAs. It says that the following: "You have attempted to establish a connection with "server". However, the security certificate presented belongs to "*.server". It is possible, though unlikely, that someone may be trying to intercept your communication with this web site." Is there a serverside solution that I wont get that any more? Why is * as a wildcard not working? Iwonder How gMail or other providers solve that issue Regards

[Dovecot] deliver and root user

On RHEL5, dovecot 1.0.7, I have set up sendmail to use `deliver` for my local mda. It keeps giving me this error for the root user though: Jul 12 12:51:29 mail sendmail[4105]: o699225f001348: to=<root(a)localhost.localdomain>, ctladdr=<root(a)localhost.localdomain> (0/0), delay=3+08:49:26, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=local, pri=7502879, dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: local mailer (/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver) exited with EX_TEMPFAIL I've tried to `chmod +s /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver`, which I read might fix some of those issues, but it didn't. Anyways, here are the important changes I made in my config files for using `deliver`: == sendmail.mc == ... dnl ## Should I modify this?? define(`PROCMAIL_MAILER_PATH', `/usr/bin/procmail')dnl ... dnl ## Should I have "localhost.localdomain" here? It currently is not. LOCAL_DOMAIN(`mydomain.com') ... FEATURE(`local_procmail', `/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver',`/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d $u') MODIFY_MAILER_FLAGS(`LOCAL', `-f') ... MAILER(smtp) MAILER(procmail) MAILER(local) == END == == dovecot.conf == ... protocol lda { postmaster_address = postmaster(a)mydomain.com hostname = mydomain.com } == END == Any ideas, or do you need more information? -- Thanks, Brad Landis

[Dovecot] Dovecot-lda and Postfix virtual
by D F 12 Jul '10

Hello, I'm currently testing Dovecot 2.0RC2 and I have a problem migrating my current configuration.

Now I'd like to use Dovecot as a LDA (I want to use Sieve). I first add "mailbox_command = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda" and "virtual_transport = dovecot" to postfix.conf. Then I add "dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=nobody:nobody argv=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -f ${sender} -d ${recipient}" to master.cf Here is my Dovecot config : #----------------------------------------------------------- listen = *, :: protocols = imap base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/ login_greeting = domain.tld IMAP ready. disable_plaintext_auth = no auth_mechanisms = plain auth_failure_delay = 2 secs mail_location = dbox:/home/mail/%d/%n default_login_user = dovenull default_internal_user = dovecot service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 143 } inet_listener imaps { port = 993 ssl = yes } } service auth { # Postfix smtp-auth unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { mode = 0666 user = postfix group = postfix } unix_listener auth-userdb { mode = 0666 user = nobody group = nobody } } passdb { driver = passwd-file args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/users.db } userdb { driver = passwd-file args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/users.db } ssl = no #----------------------------------------------------------- /usr/local/etc/dovecot/users.db looks like : #----------------------------------------------------------- denis@domain.tld:password:5000:5000::/home/mail/domain.tld/denis #----------------------------------------------------------- If I send a mail to denis(a)domain.tld it works great, if I send a mail to root(a)domain.tld, it tells the user is non-existent. Is it possible to work the way it used to and benefit from dovecot-lda ? I read http://wiki2.dovecot.org/LDA/Postfix but it seems none of the case looks like mine. Thank you in advance, Denis

[Dovecot] Can only see some folders of inbox
by He Llo 12 Jul '10

12 Jul '10

I've had a working system for ages now with Postfix/Dovecot/Squirrelmail. This evening the right hand pane of Squirrel Mail failed to complete with the Inbox selected but would show some of the other folders. I can also filter and access mail from the 'Invisible' inbox. Other mailboxes on the same server are fine. I've copied my version number below and the output of dovecot -n In the dovecot.log I can see lots of entries like: Warning I/O leak: 0x804d640 (13) or (15) and IMAP login killed with signal 15. I get the same behaviour if I connect with Outlook 2007 configured for IMAP. The mailbox has a lot of mail in it: easily a couple of GB. Very puzzled and would appreciate any help.

[Dovecot] Loggin! Exception.
by Henrique Fernandes 12 Jul '10

12 Jul '10

It is possible to make dovecot do not log any request from a determined host? Because, we gonna use ldirectord for foward request and etc. He makes an connection every 2 sec i guess, and dovecot logs its. The logs get too many info that we don need! Any ideias ? Thanks! * *[]'sf.rique

Common SMTP servers are Exim, Postfix, Sendmail and > Qmail. Well that tells me dovecot is working fine but sendmail is not listening to roaming mail clients. Sending of message failed. The message could not be sent because connecting to SMTP server foo.domainname.ca failed. The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections. Please verify that your SMTP server settings are correct and try again, or contact the server administrator. However I can telnet to the port 25 just fine ... bizarre. -- Dennis

Hi, We have dovecot 1.1.20 running on Fedora 7 with mail and indexes on NFS. On our delivery server we are getting "status=bounced (Command died with signal 6: "/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver")" We are fetching these mails from another server which has Centos 5.2 installed. We have mail_nfs*=yes and mmap_disable=yes settings in dovecot.conf. Please let me know why the above error coming in dovecot logs? Regards, Gourav Joshi

[Dovecot] maildir / deliver question
by Martin Waschbuesch 12 Jul '10

12 Jul '10

Hi all, I have the following situation: On a qmail toaster I am running (with dovecot 1.2.12 as the IMAP server), spam mail gets automatically put into a 'this might be spam' folder (per user). Now, every user has the opportunity to move that mail into either a 'learn as spam' or a 'this was ham' folder and the mail items will be treated accordingly. As a cronjob, I run a script that loops through all the users' folders and either learns as spam and deletes or learns as ham and moves back to the user's inbox. My questions now are these: 1.) Is there any danger regarding maildir consistency in directly moving mail items about? 2.) Could I somehow use deliver to move the mails? I think I can recall that other LDAs (maildrop?) allow for that? This would of course be preferred as the maildir cache would also still be optimized after the operation. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd really appreciate this. Thanks a lot for your help and this great tool!

[Dovecot] Doveadmn Quota
by Steven King 12 Jul '10

12 Jul '10

Hey Everyone, I am running the new Dovecot 2.0 RC2. When I try to run 'doveadm quota recalc -A' I just get the usage info for doveadm. Running 'doveadm help quota' gives me the man page for the quota command, and I follow the man page examples as is. Is this feature not implemented yet? Or am I doing something wrong? I know quota is a "plugin" for the doveadm program, but there is no documentation on how to get this to load of if it needs to be loaded at all.

[Dovecot] SSL / TLS Problem
by Leander S. 11 Jul '10

11 Jul '10

P.S. Postfix TLS/SSL works still fine ... I don't understand why dovecot doesn't want to work with the new thunderbird version ... Hi, since I upgraded to the new Thunderbird version 3.1 I can't establish a TLS/SSL connection anymore. But before the update Thunerbird was able to establish an encrypted session ... Maillog shows me the following now: server dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=84.157.133.248, lip=192.168.1.100, TLS handshaking: SSL_accept() failed: error:14094418:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:tlsv1 alert unknown ca Why is the CA unknowen - all of a sudden - ?!

[Dovecot] --with-PACKAGE is not recognized (dovecot 2.0.rc2)
by Sven Kirmess 10 Jul '10

10 Jul '10

The build process/configure script does not recognize the --with-PACKAGE option. Unfortunately I have no experience with autoconfigure/automake but maybe someone on the list knows how to fix this? I assume it should be an easy fix as most software recognizes the --with-PACKAGE flag. :) This is how I build dovecot: LDFLAGS=-L/opt/openssl \ CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/openssl \ ./configure --prefix=/opt/dovecot-2.0.rc2 --sysconfdir=/etc/opt/dovecot --localstatedir=/var/opt/dovecot --datarootdir=/opt/dovecot-2.0.rc2 --docdir=/opt/dovecot-2.0.rc2/doc --with-rundir=/var/opt/dovecot/run --with-statedir=/var/opt/dovecot/state --with-PACKAGE=no --with-ssl=openssl --with-ssldir=/etc/opt/dovecot; \ /usr/sfw/bin/gmake And I get the following warning: configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --with-PACKAGE Same for --without-PACKAGE: configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --without-PACKAGE This results in dovecot installing in the following wrong directories: /etc/opt/dovecot/dovecot /opt/dovecot-2.0.rc2/include/dovecot /opt/dovecot-2.0.rc2/lib/dovecot /opt/dovecot-2.0.rc2/libexec/dovecot The argument --with-PACKAGE=no should be usable to disable these interemiate dovecot directories which are only useful if you install all software in /usr/local.

[Dovecot] Mercurial dovecot-2.0 branch change
by Timo Sirainen 10 Jul '10

10 Jul '10

I got tired of seeing the HEAD branch name in hg.dovecot.org (caused by the initial import from CVS), so I finally switched to "default" branch name where it doesn't show it. But apparently now everyone using dovecot-2.0 hg needs to switch to the default branch. You should see something like: ~/cvs/dovecot-2.0% hg pull -u .. not updating, since new heads added (run 'hg heads' to see heads, 'hg merge' to merge) Now give a command: hg up -C default Hopefully there won't be other problems with the change.

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04, recently upgraded. My dovecot version is 1.2.9. My SSL/TLS authentication with dovecot from non-local IP's has stopped working, and I can no longer access my mail securely.

[Dovecot] LDA ignored
by Leander S. 10 Jul '10

10 Jul '10

Hi, my final goal is it to make use Dovecot's sieve modul - but unfortunately I'm not getting the LDA running as it is described in the Dovecot's wiki pages ... ;/ I've more and more getting the feeling that the LDA section in the configuration is completely ignored, cause whatever change I do in there is not being recognized at all - I could just type wildly arround in there - restart Dovecot and it will work. But the dovecot.conf is being used by Dovecot - cause changes to other sections are affecting Dovecot's behaviour ... it's really just the LDA section. I configured and compiled Dovecot with LDA & Managesieve. Otherwhise Dovecot / Postfix setup is running quite well - mail is being scanned by amavis and Spamassassin and delivered as it did before I added / changed the configs to the sieve related options ... It's very weired. I activated "mail_debug = yes" and the following shows up when I start Dovecot: Starting dovecot. ILoading modules from directory: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap IModule loaded: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap/lib10_quota_plugin.so IModule loaded: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap/lib11_imap_quota_plugin.so IEffective uid=65534, gid=65534, home=/tmp Iquota: No quota setting - plugin disabled IEffective uid=65534, gid=65534, home=/tmp It doesn't say a thing about sieve / lda ... ;( The proof that Dovecot is running: Server # ps aux | grep dove root 29355 0.0 0.1 5944 1768 ??

[Dovecot] I can receive but not send
by Dennis Clarke 09 Jul '10

I'm not too sure where to look here. I can access my mail via Dovecot and there is an initial requirement to accept an SSL key ( self signed ) however after I look in my inbox and read a piece of email ( via SeaMonkey eMail client ) I can not send. I simply get told that the server would not accept the smtp connection. I was hoping for a smtps connection but I'll take what I can get. Am I missing something obvious here ? -- Dennis

Re: [Dovecot] Sieve user info log (was: problems with sieve under 2.0)

However, configuring this behavior is an interesting issue. If the user log verbosity is configured in the Dovecot userdb, it may in many cases still only be configurable by the administrator. An alternative solution would be to provide the logging configuration directly in the Sieve script; analogous to the way Procmail handles this. This would give users direct control. However, the Sieve specification and its extensions currently define no such facility. In fact, both Sieve and ManageSieve don't provide any means for the user to control what is logged during script execution. This would require some new or custom (vnd.dovecot.) Sieve or ManageSieve extension. However, defining a new extension like that is rarely useful unless clients implement support for it. Another problem is that users need filesystem access or some other custom (HTTP) interface to read the logs. This can be problematic when virtual users are involved. This too could be mended with an extension to the ManageSieve protocol. Alternatively, the Pigeonhole TODO list mentions a solution that writes logs as messages in a special IMAP-accessible folder, but I'm still not sure how practical that is. The above considerations may warrant starting a draft RFC on controlling and accessing Sieve runtime logs. But, I'm deviating from the original issue... what is it that you truly need right now? And for the Dovecot list, any other ideas on the above? Regards, Stephan.

[Dovecot] trash folder (again)
by Holger Hegmanns 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

Hi, I read very intently all the issues related to imap trash folders, but either I didn't unerstand them or my problem is slightly different. I plan to migrate from cyrus to dovecot. I've executed the perl script cyrus2dovecot successfully with the substitution flag "-E 's/^\./.INBOX./'" cause I want to have all folders as subfolders of the INBOX. The vmail dir looks like this afterwards: drwxr-xr-x 11 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 . drwxr-xr-x 3 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .. drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.Drafts drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.Sent drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.Templates drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.Trash drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.blah drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.blub drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 cur -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 119 Jul 8 14:19 dovecot-uidlist drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 new -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 80 Jul 8 14:19 subscriptions drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 tmp After the first access with Thunderbird, regardless of the version (TB2x or TB3x) and regardless of using TB with an empty profile or a well filled up, the directory looks different: drwxr-xr-x 12 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:21 . drwxr-xr-x 3 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .. drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.Drafts drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.Sent drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.Templates drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.Trash drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.blah drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.blub drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:21 .Trash drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 cur -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 119 Jul 8 14:21 dovecot-uidlist -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 17408 Jul 8 14:21 dovecot.index.cache -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 448 Jul 8 14:21 dovecot.index.log drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 new -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 86 Jul 8 14:21 subscriptions drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 tmp A Trash folder was added by TB, I guess.

The preexisting Trash folder (I created all the standard folders with cyradm by hand) below the INBOX seems sufficient to TB, no further Trash can was created and here all input fields are filled up as followed: private namespace "INBOX." shared "" other users "user."

[Dovecot] Thunderbird and shared mailboxes
by Keith Edmunds 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

I'm setting up shared mailboxes as in http://wiki.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Shared, and have set ACLs as described on that page to share one folder of user A's mailbox with User B. However, I'm struggling to get Thunderbird for userb(a)example.com to read the shared folder of usera(a)example.com. Has anyone done this? Thunderbird 3.0, Dovecot 1.2.11 Thanks, Keith

[Dovecot] Eronious comment in sample Director configuration
by Brad Davidson 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

The sample Director configuration (10-director.conf) says that director_servers and director_mail_servers can be lists of either IPs or hostnames: # List of IPs or hostnames to all director servers, including ourself. # Ports can be specified as ip:port. The default port is the same as # what director service's inet_listener is using. #director_servers = # List of IPs or hostnames to all backend mail servers. Ranges are allowed # too, like 10.0.0.10-10.0.0.30. #director_mail_servers = However, if I use hostnames, it bails out with an "Invalid IP address" error. It also seems to be confusing the dashes in my hostnames for address range specifications. Obviously hostnames are not currently supported, but I thought I'd mention it so the documentation could be updated. -Brad

[Dovecot] Director error during sync

Just an FYI - if I have a two-node director ring, I get this when I start up the second node: Jul 7 16:59:38 oh-popmap7 dovecot: director: Error: Received SYNC from 10.142.0.162:1234/left (seq=6) while already synced Totally expected since it's already received the same SYNC from the right side, but since I thought I heard you say that "any errors that Dovecot logs are bugs" I thought I'd report it ;) For that matter, it also logs errors when I shut down / restart the second node: Jul 7 16:59:37 oh-popmap7 dovecot: director: Error: Director 10.142.0.162:1234/left disconnected Jul 7 16:59:37 oh-popmap7 dovecot: director: Error: Director 10.142.0.162:1234/right disconnected Jul 7 16:59:37 oh-popmap7 dovecot: director: Error: director(10.142.0.162:1234/out): connect() failed: Connection refused -Brad

[Dovecot] Patch for second fs quota under solaris
by Juergen Obermann 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

Hallo. We use dovecot 1.2.12 running under Solaris 9 and wanted to set up a second filesystem quota root because the mail folders are in the users home directories and the inboxes of all users are in /var/mail. This is defined in dovecot.conf: quota = fs:Home-Verzeichnis:noenforcing quota2 = fs:INBOX:noenforcing:mount=/var/mail This second quota did not work, but now I found the reason why. The mountpoint_get in src/lib/mountpoint.c needs to call resetmnttab to find the filesystem for the second quota root (see man resetmnttab). The following patches correct this and also adds some debugging code to src/plugins/quota/quota-fs.c to show the processing of quota2. These patches are only needed for Solaris with filesystem quotas. dovecot-1.2.12 ############## *** ./src/lib/mountpoint.c.orig Mon Jan 25 00:14:17 2010 --- ./src/lib/mountpoint.c Thu Jul 8 11:21:11 2010 *************** *** 164,169 **** --- 164,170 ---- i_error("fopen(%s) failed: %m", MTAB_PATH); return -1; } + resetmnttab(f); while ((getextmntent(f, &ent.ext, sizeof(ent.ext))) == 0) { if (hasmntopt(&ent.ent, MNTOPT_IGNORE) != NULL) continue; *** ./src/plugins/quota/quota-fs.c.orig Sat Jun 19 00:12:44 2010 --- ./src/plugins/quota/quota-fs.c Wed Jul 7 16:54:20 2010 *************** *** 249,256 **** continue; mount = fs_quota_mountpoint_get(root->storage_mount_path); ! if (mount != NULL) fs_quota_mount_init(root, mount); } } --- 249,263 ---- continue; mount = fs_quota_mountpoint_get(root->storage_mount_path); ! if (mount != NULL) { ! if (quota->set->debug) { ! i_info("fs quota2 add storage dir = %s", root->storage_mount_path); ! i_info("fs quota2 block device = %s", mount->device_path); ! i_info("fs quota2 mount point = %s", mount->mount_path); ! i_info("fs quota2 mount type = %s", mount->type); ! } fs_quota_mount_init(root, mount); + } } } dovecot-2.0.rc1 ############### *** ./src/lib/mountpoint.c.orig Mon Jan 25 00:16:12 2010 --- ./src/lib/mountpoint.c Thu Jul 8 11:24:10 2010 *************** *** 164,169 **** --- 164,170 ---- i_error("fopen(%s) failed: %m", MTAB_PATH); return -1; } + resetmnttab(f); while ((getextmntent(f, &ent.ext, sizeof(ent.ext))) == 0) { if (hasmntopt(&ent.ent, MNTOPT_IGNORE) != NULL) continue; *** ./src/plugins/quota/quota-fs.c.orig Fri Jul 2 21:32:40 2010 --- ./src/plugins/quota/quota-fs.c Wed Jul 7 12:52:38 2010 *************** *** 264,271 **** continue; mount = fs_quota_mountpoint_get(root->storage_mount_path); ! if (mount != NULL) fs_quota_mount_init(root, mount); } } --- 264,278 ---- continue; mount = fs_quota_mountpoint_get(root->storage_mount_path); ! if (mount != NULL) { ! if (quota->set->debug) { ! i_debug("fs quota2 add mailbox dir = %s", root->storage_mount_path); ! i_debug("fs quota2 block device = %s", mount->device_path); ! i_debug("fs quota2 mount point = %s", mount->mount_path); ! i_debug("fs quota2 mount type = %s", mount->type); ! } fs_quota_mount_init(root, mount); + } } } Greetings, Jürgen Obermann -- Hochschulrechenzentrum der | Mail: Juergen.Obermann(a)hrz.uni-giessen.de Justus-Liebig-Universitaet | WWW: http://www.uni-giessen.de/obermann Heinrich-Buff-Ring 44 | Tel: 0641-99-13054 (0641-99-13001) D-35392 Giessen, Germany | Fax: 0641-99-13009

[Dovecot] problems with sieve under 2.0...

[Dovecot] Thunderbird problem
by Frank Bonnet 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

Hello Some users had occasionally a problem with Thunderbird , some random emails with attachement(s) cannot be read anymore the email appears empty and TB seems to enter in an infinite loop saying it is downloading the message The only solution I found was : 1 - stop thunderbird on the client machine 2 - remove the .imap user's directory 3 - restart thunderbird on the client machine After doing that all emails re-appear normally and attachements are readable/downloadable again. ALL our clients use the IMAP(S) protocol. Anyone had the same problem ? Thanks F

Whether you believe its a good thing or a bad thing or you don't really care. I'm writing a letter to an Australian MP (Member of Parliament) and I want to get some actual opinions of what other systems administrators think of the internet filter, even if they are not in Australia.

[Dovecot] OT: Sieve + Forward as Attachment
by Jerry 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

I know that this is technically not a Dovecot problem; however, I was wondering if anyone knew if 'sieve' had been updated with the ability to 'forward as attachment' a received document. I believe it has the ability to forward a document; however, I need the ability to forward it as an attachment if possible. Also I believe, somewhat due to my asking for them, that sieve exits with appropriate error codes. Is there a listing of these codes, other than in the actual program code itself, of what those exit codes are? -- Jerry ✌ Dovecot.user(a)seibercom.net Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.

[Dovecot] Manually creating folders from terminal
by A. J. Giurato 07 Jul '10

07 Jul '10

I'm trying to use a script to create a mailbox structure. I'm aware that the structure should look like: ~/.maildir/.INBOX/{cur,tmp,new} ~/.maildir/.INBOX.Subfolder1/{cur,tmp,new} ~/.maildir/.INBOX.Subfolder2/{cur,tmp,new} ~/.maildir/.INBOX.Subfolder2.Subsubfolder1/{cur,tmp,new} ... I have tried manually making those directories and using the "maildirmake.dovecot" command that my system has. I feel that in the past, folders I have made this way worked. However, now none are showing up in my clients. In Thunderbird, they aren't even listed on the "Subscribe" window for me to enable. Using Squirrelmail doesn't show them either. Essentially what I am doing is taking my current IMAP dir structure, and making a copy in a subfolder called ".INBOX.Archive.<year>" to archive my old mail. Thus, .INBOX.Subfolder1.Subfolder2 becomes .INBOX.Archive.2009.Subfolder1.Subfolder2.

I set it up as described in the conf.d/10-director.conf From the user_db i get proxy=y and no proxyhost as described for imap/pop3 But lmtp is complaining about the missing host: Jul 07 15:00:48 auth: Debug: master in: PASS 1 user56(a)domain.de service=lmtp lip=::1 lport=30025 rip=::1 rport=41992 Jul 07 15:00:48 auth: Debug: ldap(user56@domain.de,::1): pass search: base=ou=mailboxes,ou=vfag,c=de,o=top scope=subtree filter=(&(objectClass=uco)(mail=user56(a)domain.de)) fields=mailboxname,userpassword,myproxy Jul 07 15:00:48 auth: Debug: auth(user56@domain.de,::1): username changed user56(a)domain.de -> 1000000000032 Jul 07 15:00:48 auth: Debug: ldap(1000000000032,::1): result: mailboxname(user)=1000000000032 userpassword(password)=<hidden> myproxy(proxy)=y Jul 07 15:00:48 auth: Debug: master out: PASS 1 proxy Jul 07 15:00:48 lmtp(18537): Debug: auth input: proxy Jul 07 15:00:48 lmtp(18537): Error: proxy: host not given Jul 07 15:00:48 auth: Debug: master in: USER 2 user56(a)domain.de service=lmtp lip=::1 rip=::1 Jul 07 15:00:48 auth: Debug: ldap(user56@domain.de,::1): user search: base=ou=mailboxes,ou=vfag,c=de,o=top scope=subtree filter=(&(objectClass=uco)(mail=user56(a)domain.de)) fields=homeDirectory,uidNumber,gidNumber,quotaBytes Jul 07 15:00:48 auth: Debug: ldap(user56@domain.de,::1): result: homeDirectory(home)=/mail/001/32/00/00/1000000000032 quotaBytes(quota_rule=*:storage=%$B)=*:storage=1073741824B Jul 07 15:00:48 auth: Debug: master out: USER 2 user56(a)domain.de home=/mail/001/32/00/00/1000000000032 quota_rule=*:storage=1073741824B Do i still have have to set lmtp_proxy=yes ?

[Dovecot] Logging subjects of messages
by Sandu cucereanu 07 Jul '10

07 Jul '10

Dear Sirs, I want to know if there is any possibility to log the subjects of the messages downloaded from ther server. We use dovecot 1.0.15 with POP3S and IMAP and we want to keep a trace of the reading of messages by the users of our mail server (who, when and what are the subjects of the e-mail messages read) because some users complain that they did not read some messages but in the logs of the server (maillog files( those messages appear to be delivered to their inboxes. Thank you very much for your help Best regards Alexandru Cucereanu

[Dovecot] dsync convert Maildir -> mdbox, separators in subscriptions file
by Frode Nordahl 06 Jul '10

06 Jul '10

Hello, I'm playing around with Dovecot 2.0 beta 4. If I use dsync to convert a users mail stored in Maildir format to mdbox format, the subscriptions file in the new mdbox is created using the wrong mailbox separator ('.') leading to folders within folders not being readable by clients using the subscription feature. Excerpt from IMAP: . LIST "" "*" * LIST (\HasChildren) "/" "Spam" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Spam/Test" . LSUB "" "*" * LSUB () "/" "Spam" * LSUB () "/" "Spam.Test" I am not currently using Maildir, and have no plans to either, so I am very pleased with mdbox using '/' as seperator. I am considering to use Maildir as a transition format so that I can use allready available scripts to do the job (uw2dovecot.pl first, then dsync). So the question is, is this a bug in dsync? At the time of conversion mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir I used the following command to do the conversion: # dsync -u username convert mdbox:~/mdbox -- Frode Nordahl

[Dovecot] how to setup a simplest travel-mode read-only IMAP
by Seetamraju Uday Bhaskar Sarma 06 Jul '10

06 Jul '10

Hi All, I don't use gmail/hotmail etc... I have been a Mozilla/SeaMonkey/Thunderbird user for ever now... The mail and folders are all on my private fileserver. But on certain tours, I do know in advance that I would like IMAP access to my mail folders. Nothing but the simplest read-only access to the years of accumulated email. (All that email was soft-mounted onto /mnt/mail for safety and simplicity.) I have read the FAQ and Wiki. I even created the /cur /new /tmp folders under /mnt/mail... (after noting errors in dovecot logs) But when I test from another machine as :- # mutt -f imap://sarma@10.0.1.10/Inbox mutt comes up blank. I did check that /mnt/mail/Inbox exists, and has read permissions to all. Ideally, I don't want dovecot updating my mail files. I just simply want to read my old mail, while my new mail will continue to reside-on/be-accessible via the webmail. Thanks in advance! # /usr/sbin/dovecot --version 1.0.15 # /usr/sbin/dovecot -n # 1.0.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_processes_count: 1 login_max_processes_count: 2 mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: maildir:/mnt/mail:INDEX=/var/mail/dovecot/index:CONTROL=/var/mail/dovecot/lib:LAYOUT=fs mbox_dirty_syncs: no mbox_lazy_writes: no auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd

[Dovecot] Correct folder permissions for maildir....
by Donovan J. Edye 06 Jul '10

06 Jul '10

G'Day, I am trying to find a definitive answer to what the directory permissions should be for my configuration under Centos 5.5. I see a number of the following error messages in the maillog as a consequence of permissions errors. After reading the FAQ, Wiki etc. and browsing the web I am unable to determine just exactly what the user security settings should be for the offending folders. If anyone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. Should you require additional diagnostic information let me know and I will source it.

[Dovecot] ACL, forced INBOX subscription
by Matthias Rieber 06 Jul '10

06 Jul '10

Hi, I've two accounts 'matthias' and 'mailverwalter'. Mailverwalter want's to share the Spam folder: This is the situation in the beginning: (matthias) a LIST (SUBSCRIBED) "common." "*" a OK List completed. a LIST (SUBSCRIBED) "common.mailverwalter" "*" a OK List completed. (mailverwalter) a GETACL Spam * ACL "Spam" "mailverwalter" lrwstipekxacd a OK Getacl completed. a GETACL INBOX * ACL "INBOX" "mailverwalter" lrwstipekxacd a OK Getacl completed. So far so good. Mailverwalter sets the list permission: (mailverwalter) a SETACL "Spam" "matthias" l a OK Setacl complete. a GETACL "Spam" * ACL "Spam" "matthias" l "mailverwalter" lrwstipekxacd a OK Getacl completed. a GETACL "INBOX" * ACL "INBOX" "mailverwalter" lrwstipekxacd a OK Getacl completed. That's ok as well and I want to make sure that the INBOX doesn't have any other permission. After that, some listing: (matthias) a LIST (SUBSCRIBED) "common." "*" a OK List completed. a LIST (SUBSCRIBED) "common.mailverwalter." "*" a OK List completed. That's also ok, nothing subscribed. (matthias) a LIST "common.mailverwalter." "*" * LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "." "common.mailverwalter" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "common.mailverwalter.Spam" a OK List completed. This normal folder listing seems to be ok, too, and then listing of the subcribed folders again: (matthias) a LIST (SUBSCRIBED) "common.mailverwalter." "*" * LIST (\Subscribed \NonExistent) "." "common.mailverwalter.INBOX" a OK List completed. And then, the INBOX is subscribed and \NonExistent because I don't have permissions on it. The folder stays subscribed as long as I'm connected to the server. When I disconnect and do the LIST (SUBSCRIBED) again, the folder is not subscribed as long I do not 'normal' list it. Happens with dovecot 1.2.11, haven't tried 2.0 yet. I assume that's not the intended behaviour. This INBOX folder confuses the Nokia n900 email client a lot, but it doesn't matter if it can be accessed or not. Regards, Matthias

[Dovecot] Jul 06 13:00:50 dovecot: Warning: I/O leak: 806ef10 (36)

I'm currently fighting my way through the dovecot configuration pages and endless options to see if I can just get my mail from the server. Thus far no joy but dovecot seems to be working if I could figure out the configuration. My process thus far has been : 1) read docs 2) try a config change 3) fail 4) goto (1) I just saw an error while trying to read my /var/mail/dclarke good 'ol mbox in the message.log : Jul 06 12:58:50 IMAP(dclarke): Error: mbox root directory can't be a file: /var/mail/dclarke/ (http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailLocation/Mbox) So I figure I better go read that page again and see what I did wrong this time.

[Dovecot] Multiple authentication backends
by Wouter van der Schagt 06 Jul '10

06 Jul '10

Good morning, I have a question. Currently we are using Dovecot to handle our pop3, pop3s, imap and imaps connections. Our virtual domain management backend is vpopmail. Which works beautifully. Our current setup requires users to login with their email address and password (user@domain). We are now looking at migrating another server to our environment where users are logging in with their username only. This is because unlike virtual users these mailboxes have corresponding system users on the server. Ideally we would like to migration for the end user as easy as possible without requiring them to make changes to their settings. Is it possible to configure Dovecot to handle multiple authentication back-ends or do any of you have found a solution to a similar problem before? Sincerely, - Wouter van der Schagt

[Dovecot] doveadm stop
by Andreas Schulze 06 Jul '10

06 Jul '10

hello I start dovecot via daemontools and use "dovecot -F". "doveadm stop" does correctly stop dovecot. Of course dovecot will restart not a second later. Is it possible, that "doveadm stop" detect that dovecot is started with -F an print an informational log ? I think, it's helpfull, because in this special setup "doveadm stop" can and will not do what the the user expects from the name. -- Andreas Schulze Internetdienste | P532 DATEV eG 90329 Nürnberg | Telefon +49 911 319-0 | Telefax +49 911 319-3196 E-Mail info @datev.de | Internet www.datev.de Sitz: 90429 Nürnberg, Paumgartnerstr. 6-14 | Registergericht Nürnberg, GenReg Nr.70 Vorstand Prof. Dieter Kempf (Vorsitzender) Dipl.-Kfm.

[Dovecot] NFS(4) IMAP Quota
by Martin Schanzenbach 05 Jul '10

05 Jul '10

Hi *, We use nfs4 in combination with dovecot. Also (hard)quotas are used on the exports. Using the dovecot quota fs plugin things did not work at all. There were a few issues we encountered: 1. Nfs4 is not recognized. The problem is that the mount type is only checked for "nfs" and not nfs4. This was an easy fix. 2. The (fs)path for nfs4 that is relayed to rquotad has to be without the leading "/". This was an easy fix, too. (borrowed from linuxquota: http://linuxquota.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/linuxquota/quota-tools/rquota_… ) 3. Maybe because we do not use softquotas the quota active boolean (rq_active) in the rquota struct is always false. So we hackishly removed this check. This problem also occured here: http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2009-May/039593.html Apparently quota-tools do not check for this either (not needed?). 4. As metioned above we only use hardquotas but the plugin only reports softquotas. In my patch below I changed the behaviour: Check softquota == 0. If true then use hardquota, else softquota. Maybe you can use some of those fixes. I think at least #3 is reproducible (see ml post). The hard vs softquota behaviour is certainly a matter of discussion. The nfs4 "fixes" are actually more like feature requests that I think should be added to the plugin in one way or another. I created a diff of my changes to quota-fs.c. The changes were tested only for nfs3/4 though.

Look at "doveconf -a service" output. For each service 1) that has service_count=1, the client limits have no effect. only a single client is ever served. 2) that has client_limit != 0, that limit is used 3) otherwise, default_client_limit is used

Here is 1.2.12 on opensolaris 2009.06 While that is very far away from production Solaris 8 it is a valid datapoint. However I did manage to find the ID-Ten-T error that I was having related to a CFLAGS switch of all things. # uname -a SunOS titan 5.8 Generic_127722-03 i86pc i386 i86pc # /opt/csw/sbin/dovecot --version 1.2.12 # /opt/csw/sbin/dovecot --build-options Build options: ioloop=poll ipv6 openssl Mail storages: maildir mbox raw shared SQL drivers: Passdb: checkpassword pam passwd passwd-file shadow Userdb: passwd passwd-file prefetch static If you wonder why it is compiled on a ten year old OS it is because of the Solaris ABI ( Application Binary Interface ) stability in which *anything* that compiles and runs on Solaris 8 will run everywhere else flawlessly. However, your dovecot compiled on that OpenSolaris beta release won't run anywhere else but on that machine. In fact, no promises on that[1] OpenSolaris release either. :-) Dennis [1] keep in mind that there ha never been a prod ready release of OpenSolaris. Maybe someday but Oracle isn't talking. :-(

[Dovecot] Replacing real inbox by virtual inbox
by François-Xavier Payet 05 Jul '10

05 Jul '10

Hello, I'm using dovecot 1.2.11 with virtual folders. I'd like to replace my real INBOX by a virtual one but I have several questions : * will my mail still be delivered to my real INBOX? * will I be able to access my real INBOX, for example using a virtual folder reliyng on INBOX * and, how to do it. Here's my problem, if I look to the wiki page [1], I don't really understand what the _NAMESPACE_1_INBOX_ and the _NAMESPACE_2_INBOX_ stands for. Plus, I can't put my paths in my scripts, as they use %d and %u (see below) which, if I understand correctly, aren't available for PostLoginScripts.

[Dovecot] Dovecot git mirror
by David Woodhouse 05 Jul '10

05 Jul '10

I've been working on Evolution's 'imapx' back end to support QRESYNC, and was going to look at NOTIFY next. Then I realised I may have to look at implementing it on the server side first. Before I can even contemplate that, though, I had to mirror it into git. I've always resisted the one-version-control-system-per-child craze, and these days if I'm even contemplating a project which is using some other version control system, I'll start by importing it into a git repo. Thus: git://git.infradead.org/dovecot/dovecot-1.0 git://git.infradead.org/dovecot/dovecot-1.1 git://git.infradead.org/dovecot/dovecot-1.2 git://git.infradead.org/dovecot/dovecot-2.0 These are browsable in gitweb as: http://git.infradead.org/dovecot/dovecot-1.0 http://git.infradead.org/dovecot/dovecot-1.1 http://git.infradead.org/dovecot/dovecot-1.2 http://git.infradead.org/dovecot/dovecot-2.0 The mirrors are updated hourly, at 15 minutes past the hour. When making such a mirror, I usually try to ensure that it's imported in such a way that that the project maintainer(s) _could_ switch to using it as their primary VCS if they wanted to -- and a number of projects have actually done so. But I'm not arguing for that; I'm just making the repository available in git form in case it's useful to anyone else who, like me, doesn't really want to install and learn to use all of arch/hg/bzr/monotone/svn/etc for various different projects. No VCS flame wars please. -- dwmw2

[Dovecot] v2.0.rc1 released
by Timo Sirainen 04 Jul '10

04 Jul '10

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/rc/dovecot-2.0.rc1.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/rc/dovecot-2.0.rc1.tar.gz.sig All of the important features are implemented and all of the important bugs are fixed. The only thing I'd like to solve before v2.0.0 is that two people have said their doveconf fails when trying to convert old v1.x config file. I haven't been able to reproduce this, so if it happens to anyone I'd like to know about it (and even better, get access to a test system where it happens, since it doesn't seem to be caused by the config file itself). There's at least one installation that has already used v2.0 + mdbox for months in production. A lot of bugs have been fixed thanks to them. So I'm expecting this release to be rather stable and v2.0.0 hopefully won't be too far away from now. So the "rc1" tag really means that this is a release candidate. After a few weeks go by without any important bug reports, I'll release v2.0.0. Largest changes since beta6: - Added man pages, mostly written by Pascal Volk. They're also synchronized to wiki in http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools - dsync syntax changed, although it's still compatible with old syntax. see http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Dsync for new syntax - dsync backup command added - dsync should now be stable (in theory anyway, more testing would probably be a good idea) - LMTP proxying supports director - director should now be stable - Single-dbox should now be stable - mdbox locking behavior modified. when rebuilding indexes it can no longer fail with deadlocks - fsync_disable=no was renamed to mail_fsync = optimized (default) - fsync_disable=yes was renamed to mail_fsync = never. - added a new mail_fsync = always (basically what mail_nfs_*=yes also did before, but now it can be done without enabling NFS cache flushes) Plus lots of fixes, as usual.

[Dovecot] Dovecot and IPv6
by Steven King 03 Jul '10

03 Jul '10

Hello, I am trying to run Dovecot with IPv6 and IPv4. I have the following command in my conf: listen = * This makes Dovecot listen on all addresses on IPv4. I then add: listen = [::] So the conf now has both listen lines. This forces Dovecot to listen on all IPv6 addresses, but it no longer responds to requests on IPv4. Is there a way to get Dovecot to listen on both protocols? -- Steve King Senior Linux Engineer - Advance Internet, Inc.

[Dovecot] dovecot: pop3-login: Internal login failure - howto add dovecot users that are NO server users
by Hans Neukomm 02 Jul '10

02 Jul '10

Hi all my Linux system: opensuse 11.2 my mail system: postfix - dovecot my key problem since several days googling and testing is: how can I have a pop account with dovecot for a user if that user is NO linux system user it appears to me that most auth mechanisms somehow expect a mail user also to be a linux system user either to be found in the /etc/passwd or /etc/alias on my 4 servers I have NO users at all registered, NO login at all for any normal user - incl me. I strictly work as root and with serverkey auth on a tightly secured system since many years my goal is to have the most simple possible mail system - one user to send/receive (me) may be a very few friends with a pop3 account - that's that I have since many years - using cyrus. now I want to move to dovecot and I missed somehow since many days searching to find a simple howto add mail users - just for mail - pop3 and smtp, no imap, no home directory, etc I think that most of the errors I get in my mail log are about user unknown, I try different variations of postfix main.cf found in www the result always is some error like the newest dovecot: pop3-login: Internal login failures - below the last mail log - after I added a user to /etc/passwd hans:x:1000:100:xxxx yyyyyyy::/sbin/nologin ------------- dovecot: auth(default): client in: AUTH#0111#011PLAIN#011service=pop3#011secured#011lip=127.0.0.1#011rip=127.0.0.1#011lport=110#011rport=53082#011resp=AGhhbnMASThDc2F3TzgxRHhjUmVNOHVCaDBM dovecot: auth(default): passwd-file(hans,127.0.0.1): lookup: user=hans file=/etc/dovecot/passwd dovecot: auth(default): client out: OK#0111#011user=hans dovecot: auth(default): master in: REQUEST#0112#01115510#0111 dovecot: auth(default): passwd(hans,127.0.0.1): lookup dovecot: auth(default): master out: USER#0112#011hans#011system_groups_user=hans#011uid=1000#011gid=100#011home= dovecot: dovecot: Relative home directory paths not supported (user hans): dovecot: pop3-login: Internal login failure (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=<hans>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured ------------- WITHOUT the user hans entry in /etc/passwd I get the following mail log errors ------------- Jul 1 02:43:01 kriyayoga dovecot: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=17860 Jul 1 02:43:22 kriyayoga dovecot: auth(default): client in: AUTH#0111#011PLAIN#011service=pop3#011lip=78.46.101.111#011rip=124.108.51.96#011lport=110#011rport=50152#011resp=AGhhbnMASThDc2F3TzgxRHhjUmVNOHVCaDBM Jul 1 02:43:22 kriyayoga dovecot: auth(default): passwd-file(hans,124.108.51.96): lookup: user=hans file=/etc/dovecot/passwd Jul 1 02:43:22 kriyayoga dovecot: auth(default): client out: OK#0111#011user=hans Jul 1 02:43:22 kriyayoga dovecot: auth(default): master in: REQUEST#0112#01117840#0111 Jul 1 02:43:22 kriyayoga dovecot: auth(default): passwd(hans,124.108.51.96): lookup Jul 1 02:43:22 kriyayoga dovecot: auth(default): passwd(hans,124.108.51.96): unknown user Jul 1 02:43:22 kriyayoga dovecot: auth(default): userdb(hans,124.108.51.96): user not found from userdb passwd Jul 1 02:43:22 kriyayoga dovecot: auth(default): master out: NOTFOUND#0112 Jul 1 02:43:22 kriyayoga dovecot: pop3-login: Internal login failure (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=<hans>, method=PLAIN, rip=124.108.51.96, lip=78.46.101.111 ------------- any help or pointer to a solution or howto setup dovecot pop3 accounts for non-system users would be MOST welcome greetings hans

[Dovecot] dovecot ldap search result ordering?
by chasye 02 Jul '10

02 Jul '10

I use openLDAP as dovecot pass/user db. here is main part of dovecot-ldap.conf: pass_attrs = mail=user, uid=userdb_home=/home/xadmin/%d/%$,userPassword=password pass_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%u)) default_pass_scheme = SSHA user_attrs = mail=user, uid=home=/home/xadmin/%d/%$ user_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(|(mail=%u)(mailAlias=%u))) It works fine, but some account failed to get their domain in pass_attrs. I check the log. when it success, the result order is "mail, uid, userPassword" when it failed, the order is "userPassword, uid, mail" we just use a username to login. I think dovecot cant get the domain before username changed to "username@domain". So can dovecot sort the result order and How? -- 　　多情卻似總無情，　　唯覺尊前笑不成。　　蠟燭有心還惜別，　　替人垂淚到天明。

[Dovecot] dovecot 1.2.11/ thunderbird 3.1 - moving folders
by Andre Hübner 02 Jul '10

02 Jul '10

Hello List, customers telled me problem when moving folders in thunderbird which i can confirm. Following setup on my side: dovecot 1.2.11 with mbox. Thunderbird 3.1 with ready mailaccount and "Server supports folders that contain sub-folders and messages" is disabled. i create folder1 for subfolders and in folder1 a folder2 for mails. Now i create folder3 on toplevel like just like folder1 for subfolders. Now i drag/dop folder2 to folder3. Thunderbird is moving this folder successful but in folder1/.imap i can still see a folder folder2 which is containing a dovecot.index.log At this point thunderbird shows error-message when i start to delete folder1. It tells: [CANNOT] Mailbox is'nt selectable: folder1. AND [NONEXISTENT] Directory folder1 is'nt empty, can't delete it. What to do now? Is error on my or thunderbirds side? Parts of my config needed? Thanks, Andre

[Dovecot] Quota in mysql dict not properly recalculated on 1.2?
by Joan 02 Jul '10

02 Jul '10

Good morning, I am trying to add quota storage on mysql following the guide in the wiki http://wiki.dovecot.org/Quota/Dict, and I am having some problems. My setup works fine for the newly created accounts, and correctly increases/decreases quota when necessary. The wrong part seems to be the recalculation. It seems to me that the system doesn't count the real occupation when it has to recreate the quota entry for a username. This is the case: .- User test(a)testing.com has a quota 200000 bytes, I delete the entry of the database for user, and then when I do the: echo 'x GETQUOTAROOT Inbox' | USER=test(a)testing.com /usr/sbin/dovecot --exec-mail imap .- These are ALL the queries I see, I am missing the userdb queries to get the real quota. INSERT INTO quota_dovecot (bytes,username) VALUES ('0','test(a)testing.com') ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE bytes='0' INSERT INTO quota_dovecot (messages,username) VALUES ('0','test(a)testing.com') ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE messages='0' COMMIT SELECT bytes FROM quota_dovecot WHERE username = 'test(a)testing.com' SELECT messages FROM quota_dovecot WHERE username = 'test(a)testing.com' .- And the result also seems to indicate that it's not reading the quota from userdb * PREAUTH [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE 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 QUOTA] Logged in as test(a)testing.com * QUOTAROOT "Inbox" "user" * QUOTA "user" (STORAGE 0 1048576) x OK Getquotaroot completed. It seems to me that dovecot --exec-mail doesn't do the mysql lookups to get the usersdb. Note: attached are my dovecot -n output and the relevant .conf files
