[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?

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

12 Jul '10

Hello, I'm currently testing Dovecot 2.0RC2 and I have a problem migrating my current configuration. Current configuration is : - Dovecot as IMAP server - Postfix as SMTP/LDA with virtual users. main.cf is : #----------------------------------------------------------- # inet_protocols = all myhostname = mail.domain.tld mydomain = domain.tld myorigin = $mydomain inet_interfaces = all mydestination = localhost local_transport = virtual local_recipient_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/domain.tld virtual_mailbox_base = /home/mail virtual_mailbox_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/domain.tld virtual_mailbox_domains = domain.tld virtual_uid_maps = static:5000 virtual_gid_maps = static:5000 unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550 mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8, [::1]/128 smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP mailbox_size_limit = 0 message_size_limit = 0 virtual_mailbox_limit = 0 smtpd_helo_required = yes # smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_unauth_destination smtpd_helo_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_unknown_helo_hostname, reject_invalid_helo_hostname # debug_peer_level = 1 sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq setgid_group = postdrop html_directory = no manpage_directory = /usr/local/man sample_directory = /etc/postfix readme_directory = no queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix command_directory = /usr/sbin daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix mail_owner = postfix alternate_config_directories = /etc/postfix #----------------------------------------------------------- /etc/postfix/domain.tld looks like : #----------------------------------------------------------- # User denis(a)domain.tld /domain.tld/denis/ # Admin root(a)domain.tld /domain.tld/denis/.system/ dnsowner(a)domain.tld /domain.tld/denis/.system/ abuse(a)domain.tld /domain.tld/denis/.system/ postmaster(a)domain.tld /domain.tld/denis/.system/ #----------------------------------------------------------- Currently, I can send mails to denis(a)domain.tld or root(a)domain.tld and they are all accepted and placed in the right IMAP folder/subfolder. 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] 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!

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] 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. I have changed all entries to refer to my server as "host". I am the only user, and am OK with the a self-signed cert. When I try to connect using Thunderbird, the certificate window says "unable to obtain identification status for the given site". This action generates the entry in /var/log/mail.log: TLS handshaking: SSL_accept() failed: error:14094418:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:tlsv1 alert unknown ca I am using self-signed certificates, generated using: openssl genrsa -out server.key 1024 openssl req -new -x509 -key server.key -out server.pem -days 1826 If I use openssl s_client -connect host:993 to connect, I get the following output: CONNECTED(00000003) depth=0 /C=US/ST=MA/L=city/O=org/OU=unit/CN=host/emailAddress=bjordan555(a)gmail.com verify error:num=18:self signed certificate verify return:1 depth=0 /C=US/ST=MA/L=city/O=org/OU=unit/CN=host/emailAddress=bjordan555(a)gmail.com verify return:1 --- Certificate chain 0 s:/C=US/ST=MA/L=city/O=org/OU=unit/CN=host/emailAddress=bjordan555@gmail.com i:/C=US/ST=MA/L=city/O=org/OU=unit/CN=host/emailAddress=bjordan555@gmail.com --- Server certificate -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIDdTCCAt6gAwIBAgIJAIMqhTeSqt7PMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBBQUAMIGEMQswCQYD VQQGEwJVUzELMAkGA1UECBMCTUExEjAQBgNVBAcTCUNhbWJyaWRnZTEQMA4GA1UE ChMHSGFydmFyZDEMMAoGA1UECxMDT0VCMQ8wDQYDVQQDEwZNQ1IyRDIxIzAhBgkq hkiG9w0BCQEWFGJqb3JkYW41NTVAZ21haWwuY29tMB4XDTEwMDcxMDE0MjYyMFoX DTE1MDcxMDE0MjYyMFowgYQxCzAJBgNVBAYTAlVTMQswCQYDVQQIEwJNQTESMBAG A1UEBxMJQ2FtYnJpZGdlMRAwDgYDVQQKEwdIYXJ2YXJkMQwwCgYDVQQLEwNPRUIx DzANBgNVBAMTBk1DUjJEMjEjMCEGCSqGSIb3DQEJARYUYmpvcmRhbjU1NUBnbWFp bC5jb20wgZ8wDQYJKoZIhvcNAQEBBQADgY0AMIGJAoGBAJ8m09I2TR9J93lRzYvi mvo7WoZsjEI9kJbJwrJo3xc662w5yLGiolkxvuul8TN0PaDcJsjTAKPuiU2hmYku 9OmCtGlWtkVGmUPCyUok97rC7N81vBdIwUPoMRI4AA1s/Ubu22QIRnnmB8H+BNfs BqTA6E9q4cHUEhVlt3CMTk9tAgMBAAGjgewwgekwHQYDVR0OBBYEFFh0Xj1WtJmZ ZUKijH/JqVgsF4KCMIG5BgNVHSMEgbEwga6AFFh0Xj1WtJmZZUKijH/JqVgsF4KC oYGKpIGHMIGEMQswCQYDVQQGEwJVUzELMAkGA1UECBMCTUExEjAQBgNVBAcTCUNh bWJyaWRnZTEQMA4GA1UEChMHSGFydmFyZDEMMAoGA1UECxMDT0VCMQ8wDQYDVQQD EwZNQ1IyRDIxIzAhBgkqhkiG9w0BCQEWFGJqb3JkYW41NTVAZ21haWwuY29tggkA gyqFN5Kq3s8wDAYDVR0TBAUwAwEB/zANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQUFAAOBgQArUj++GxWm b7hPaB9cBC6DP4uj6D1/xWRovcnaMhniR47Hrm1qVc6Rt6Lvn82KAsmBcmgc58W4 aV5h4tqqSeHh/TqBg3361qLp3DiOk08M66MbSDl1bHWG5te/JaxeiJLbfpuCg1xX j8dK4ilp5neshaKozl/X+1Et71KESGuT0w== -----END CERTIFICATE----- subject=/C=US/ST=MA/L=city/O=org/OU=unit/CN=host/emailAddress=bjordan555(a)gmail.com issuer=/C=US/ST=MA/L=city/O=org/OU=unit/CN=host/emailAddress=bjordan555(a)gmail.com --- No client certificate CA names sent --- SSL handshake has read 1453 bytes and written 316 bytes --- New, TLSv1/SSLv3, Cipher is DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA Server public key is 1024 bit Compression: NONE Expansion: NONE SSL-Session: Protocol : TLSv1 Cipher : DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA Session-ID: CABB8909A462A3B6FB65AB556D5ABF6A632691BB81F8F994ED0C8098448FD3DE Session-ID-ctx: Master-Key: BF53FCA25DEA893EFF8C152A99A62A304229C8FA811ACE757233326826543340EF1FC1F433F95B9505E823D5CF289793 Key-Arg : None Start Time: 1278774437 Timeout : 300 (sec) Verify return code: 18 (self signed certificate) --- * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE AUTH=PLAIN] Dovecot ready.

[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.

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

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

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.0 with LMTP
by Thiago Henrique 09 Jul '10

Hello, I'm testing Dovecot 2.0. I plan to use Dovecot 2.0 with thousands of domains per server. My user base is under virtual MySQL. Is there a way to make the LMTP not make query to MySQL for each message delivered ? I'm afraid that the MySQL server does not support the load.

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." (only translated by me, it's a localized german version of TB) I tried hard to understand the namespace wiki page of dovecot, but without success.

[Dovecot] Thunderbird and shared mailboxes

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.

[Dovecot] Director error during sync
by Brad Davidson 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

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] dovecot 2.0 rc1 missing folder INBOX
by Burckhard Schmidt 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

Hello, I have maildir format, and usually I found a folder "INBOX" in older versions of dovecot. Now I get this folder structure: ~user/maildir with folder new tmp cur Drafts (auto generated) Sent (auto) Trash (auto) This happens if a first email arrives or the user logs in the first time. If I connect direct to the server and send the command 1 list "" "*" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Sent" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Trash" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Drafts" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "INBOX" * LIST (\Noselect \HasNoChildren) "/" "FremdeOrdner" 1 OK List completed. Here "INBOX" is listed. Is this correct no folder "INBOX"? -- Regards --- Burckhard Schmidt

[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

List, With sites like this appearing everywhere: http://www.dontfilterme.com and http://nocleanfeed.com/ Just trying to get a general opinion with what everyone thinks of the filtering situation in Australia. 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. Not only at a technical aspect but at an opinion aspect as well. Either reply on list or pm me. I just want to get a general idea. Thanks, Ryan.

[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. My system: Ubuntu 8.04 # 1.0.10: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S ssl_listen: * disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login mail_privileged_group: mail mail_access_groups: mail default_mail_env: ~/.maildir mail_location: ~/.maildir auth default: mechanisms: plain login passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix

[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....

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)
by Dennis Clarke 06 Jul '10

06 Jul '10

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. I guess this is wrong : mail_location: mbox:/var/mail/%u Even though that is where the mail actually is : # ls -lap /var/mail total 34 drwxrwxrwt 3 root mail 6 Jul 6 02:19 ./ drwxr-xr-x 47 root sys 47 May 30 02:52 ../ drwxrwxr-x 2 root mail 2 May 29 23:47 :saved/ -rw-rw---- 1 dclarke mail 0 Jul 5 16:01 dclarke -rw-rw---- 1 lucone mail 657 Jul 2 17:55 lucone -rw-rw---- 1 root mail 8705 Jul 2 05:40 root # I shutdown the dovecot service on Solaris via svcadm and saw this in the error log : Jul 06 13:00:50 dovecot: Warning: I/O leak: 806ef10 (36) Jul 06 13:00:50 dovecot: Warning: I/O leak: 806ef10 (30) Jul 06 13:00:50 dovecot: Warning: I/O leak: 806ef10 (26) Jul 06 13:00:50 dovecot: Warning: I/O leak: 806ef10 (24) I'm not too sure what that means but it doesn't look good.

[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.

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, 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

[Dovecot] address extension going into folder

02 Jul '10

Is it possible with a simple config change to make address extensions, e.g. alice+sales(a)example.com, go into a folder, e.g. .INBOX.sales, and do so ONLY if that folder already exists (and just go into INBOX if it does not exist)?

[Dovecot] Can't establish Dovecot authorization in Exim.

Hi, I have some problem in Dovecot authorization in Exim for outgoing SMTP. Version of Exim is 4.69 and the Exim was compiled with "AUTH_DOVECOT=yes" and "AUTH_PLAINTEXT=yes". Version of Dovecot is 1.2.12. I use SSL for IMAP. Is Exim neccesary to use SSL(TLS) for authorization of outgoing SMTP? Configuration files is as follows; - Exim ---------------------------------------------------------- dovecot_login: driver = dovecot public_name = LOGIN server_socket = /var/run/dovecot/auth-client server_set_id = $auth1 dovecot_plain: driver = dovecot public_name = PLAIN server_socket = /var/run/dovecot/auth-client server_set_id = $auth2 ---------------------------------------------------------- - Dovecot ---------------------------------------------------------- auth default { mechanisms = plain login passdb pam { args = cache_key=%u dovecot } userdb passwd { } socket listen { #master { #} client { path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-client mode = 0666 } } } ---------------------------------------------------------- Do I have to set other than that, like TLS for Exim? Thanks in advance. _________________________________________________________________ Hotmailがサクサク動く！フィッシング詐欺も怖くない http://o.jp.msn.com/ie8/

[Dovecot] "forgot my password" feature
by Mustafa Cagatayli 30 Jun '10

30 Jun '10

Hi, We have a mail server with the postfix/Squirrelmail/Dovecot(v.1.1.11) combination which we have user data on MySQL through virtual users. We have configured the SquirrelMail interface so that users can now change their own passwords. Is there any opensource solution to provide "self service password management" which would allow us to add the "I forgot my password. Lets reset it" feature which would do the authentication with the help of some random personal data or personal question/answer combination ? Regards. -- Mustafa Çağataylı BİM

[Dovecot] Use both SQL and LDAP
by Shayne Jellesma 29 Jun '10

29 Jun '10

Hey guys, I am just wondering if it is possible to use both SQL and LDAP queries at the same time to get information. Example on why I want to do this: I work at a school where we have the need for 2 separate types of mailbox configuration (better wording is eluding me at the moment). Staff and Students currently share the same email server. I would like to be able to give staff a bigger inbox (eg: 500MB) than students (eg: 50MB). The way I am thinking, if this is even possible, to pull username and group membership from Active Directory. Check the groups against a SQL query to give the user the appropriate mailbox size. Also, having email is a privilege, not a right at my school so is it also possible to check if a user is part of a BannedEmailUsers or AllowedEmailUser group so I could quickly and effectively disable accounts as needed. I apologise if this is a little hard to follow. Writing what I want has never been a strongpoint for me J I also apologise if this has been asked, or information is available somewhere. I did search and didn't come up with much. Regards, Shayne Jellesma Network Administrator / ICT Support St Martins Lutheran College

[Dovecot] %d/%n doesn't work... why?
by William Ottley 29 Jun '10

29 Jun '10

Hello all, I've been trying to setup my postfix and dovecot to AUTH with mysql, and I'm almost there! BUT, for some reason, dovecot won't create the folders in their proper location. For some reason, instead of going into /var/vmail/pplsnet.com/{username}location, where the postfix put all the emails, dovecot creates a whole new set of folders in /var/vmail/{username} I have attempted to force dovecot to put into a sub directly, without using the %d, but that doesn't work either: #mail_location = mbox:/var/vmail/%d/%n mail_location = mbox:/var/vmail/pplsnet.com/%n Where do I look to figure out why its not putting it into the %d/%n location? does it have to do with the fact that AUTH graps the username, and NOT the domain name? (via mysql)? I have included dovecot -n and postconf -n.. can anyone take a quick guess and figure out what I should be doing? thanks! *dovecot -n* # 1.0.7: /etc/dovecot.conf base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/ log_path: /var/log/dovecot log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: pop3 pop3s login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login first_valid_uid: 150 last_valid_uid: 150 mail_extra_groups: mail mail_access_groups: mail mail_location: mbox:/var/vmail/pplsnet.com/%n maildir_copy_with_hardlinks: yes mail_executable: /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir: /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 auth default: mechanisms: plain login digest-md5 cram-md5 passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot-sql.conf socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: mail master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 432 user: vmail group: mail *postconf -n: *alias_database = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases append_dot_mydomain = no biff = no broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes command_directory = /usr/sbin config_directory = /etc/postfix daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix debug_peer_level = 2 disable_vrfy_command = no html_directory = no inet_interfaces = all mail_owner = postfix mail_spool_directory = /var/spool/mail mailbox_size_limit = 500000 mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq manpage_directory = /usr/share/man message_size_limit = 10000 mydomain = rnd myhostname = mail.pplsnet.com mynetworks = 174.xx.xx.0/24 myorigin = $myhostname newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.2.10/README_FILES recipient_delimiter = + relayhost = sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.2.10/samples sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail setgid_group = postdrop smtp_tls_note_starttls_offer = yes smtp_use_tls = yes smtpd_banner = $myhostname smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated, permit_mynetworks, reject_unauth_destination smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_local_domain = smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot smtpd_tls_CAfile = /etc/postfix/gd_bundle.crt smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/postfix/pplsnet.com.crt smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/postfix/www.pplsnet.com.key smtpd_tls_loglevel = 1 smtpd_tls_received_header = no smtpd_tls_session_cache_timeout = 3600s smtpd_use_tls = yes tls_random_source = dev:/dev/urandom unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 450 virtual_alias_maps = mysql:$config_directory/mysql_virtual_alias_maps.cf virtual_gid_maps = static:12 virtual_mailbox_base = /var/vmail virtual_mailbox_domains = mysql:$config_directory/ mysql_virtual_domains_maps.cf virtual_mailbox_maps = mysql:$config_directory/mysql_virtual_mailbox_maps.cf virtual_minimum_uid = 150 virtual_uid_maps = static:150 * *

[Dovecot] Dovecot-2.0 conf misc questions
by Thomas Hummel 29 Jun '10

29 Jun '10

Hello, I'm setting up a dovecot-2.0.beta6 install and I'm experiencing the following issues/questions : 1. Converting the config file # /usr/local/dovecot-2/bin/doveconf -n -c /usr/local/dovecot-1.2.12/etc/dovecot.conf : [...] doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /usr/local/dovecot-1.2.12/etc/dovecot.conf line 176: Unknown setting: process_limit but # grep -i process_limit /usr/local/dovecot-1.2.12/etc/dovecot.conf # Well, it doesn't bother me much since I made the dovecot-2 conf from scratch anyway. 2. Changing the process limit In 10-master.conf, I changed 'service imap''s 'process_limit' from 1024 to 4096 which caused : Warning: service auth { client_limit=4096 } is lower than required under max. load (5320) Where does the 5320 come from ? 3. The = <file syntax Is there anything to know about this new syntax other than files are introduced by "<" ? 4. The "filter" hierarchy My understanding is that protocol, remote, local must be specified in the following order protocol name { remote <ip|name> { local <ip|name> { and that for a match in several blocks, the more specific wins. but it's not clear to me where they are valid and if we can negate (with a ! for instance) an argument. For instance, I want to implement the typical case of "let clients from the inside network perform a plain auth over a clear connection, require SSL before auth for the outside network clients". For that, I want to put remote <internal network address> { disable_plaintext_auth = no } in 10-auth.conf and let the 'disable_plaintext_auth = yes' in dovecot.conf But : . why is this default not in 10-auth.conf file ? . would I have been allowed to do, for instance, in that file at the same line protocol imap { remote <internal network address> { disable_plaintext_auth = no } ? . would I have been allowed to do, for instance, in that file at the same line protocol ! imap ... or remote ! <some address> ? Besides, if I set ssl=required, do I still need disable_plaintext_auth = yes ? 4. auth unix listner Default is the unix socket 'auth-userdb'. Which processes communicate through this one ? Does that mean the the auth process is not the process which performs the actual passdb/userdb lookup ? In that case what is the 'userdb process' ? Same question : what is the auth-client socket used for ? Finally, would it make sense to declare other auth listeners than the two listed by default in the 10-master.conf file ? -- Thomas Hummel | Institut Pasteur <hummel(a)pasteur.fr> | Pôle informatique - systèmes et réseau

[Dovecot] Dovecot dies, maybe ntpdate related. I'm new to dovecot
by Xavi Montero 28 Jun '10

28 Jun '10

Hi all, my first post. After years with an old server, a couple of months ago I've installed a new one. We use IMAP. After research, I chosed dovecot. It has been running for several weeks but from one week ago or so, it suddently dies about once per day. The only change done in the server one week ago has been to install ntpdate, running once per day in cron-daily. In the cron reports, ntpdate reports a time-jump of 9 seconds each night. We did this because "apparently" we did not a "soft time drift" installing the full ntp daemon, but I start thinking the time-jump crashes dovecot. QUESTIONS: - Might this time-jump cause dovecot to die? - I don't know wehere the dovecot logs are written to. Where do I start searching? Thanks to all!

[Dovecot] "forgot my password" feature
by Mustafa Cagatayli 28 Jun '10

28 Jun '10

Hi, We have a mail server with the postfix/Squirrelmail/Dovecot(v.1.1.11) combination which we have user data on MySQL as virtual users. We have configured the SquirrelMail interface so that users can now change their own passwords. Is there any opensource solution to provide "self service password management" which would allow us to add the "I forgot my password. Lets reset it" feature which would do the authentication with the help of some random personal data or personal question/answer combination ? Regards. -- Mustafa Çağataylı BİM

[Dovecot] Pigeonhole Managesieve issue with Dovecot 2.0
by Tim Traver 26 Jun '10

26 Jun '10

Hi all, ok, I am running version v2.0.beta6 and the latest pigeonhole build to run managesieve and the sieve delivery filters... I am getting the following response from the managesieve port when connecting : Escape character is '^]'. "IMPLEMENTATION" "Dovecot" "SIEVE" "" "SASL" "PLAIN" "STARTTLS" "VERSION" "1.0" OK "Dovecot ready." But, I think that the SIEVE line is suppose to have all of the supported sieve functions like so : "SIEVE" "comparator-i;ascii-numeric fileinto reject vacation imapflags notify include envelope body relational regex subaddress copy" I modified the dovecot sieve config file to try and add (although they should all be added by default), and it still comes up blank... Am I missing something? what might cause it to not broadcast the sieve implementations that it has? Thanks, Tim.

[Dovecot] auth_cache_size
by Daniel L. Miller 25 Jun '10

25 Jun '10

I was going to ask how much space I should allocate for auth_cache_size - but decided to read the wiki first. Now I'll be more specific - Wiki says about 50 bytes per passdb, and up to 200 bytes for userdb - so my arithmetic says each combined entry needs 250 bytes budgeted. Assuming that's correct, I need some clarification. Let's start small. Assume ten users, all connected - and everybody also likes looking at everybody else's mailbox. So there are ten clients, each with at least ten connections (I say at least because each folder viewed within an account is its own connection, right?). How is the auth_cache used? If I have ten user/pass combinations - is that all that is stored? Or are there connection-specific entries as well? In other words, for the above example, do I have 10 x 250 bytes yields auth_cache_size=3, or do I need 10 x 10 x 250 yields auth_cache_size=30 - or am I totally off? -- Daniel

[Dovecot] Proxy Access (Manager/Secretary) Best Practices?
by Chris Hobbs 23 Jun '10

23 Jun '10

I've mostly got our dovecot+postfix+SOGo+openldap open source groupware replacement working the way I want it to; we're replacing GroupWise in our organization and I'm thrilled to be doing it. I'm supporting about 1,000 active staff users (and another 6,000 student accounts). I've got e-mail and calendar sharing working, and it does what it says it will do, but it is (go figure) different in concept from Proxy access under GroupWise. In GroupWise, I can give my secretary proxy access to my account and she can read all of my folders, see my calendars, and send e-mail as me. To someone that receives an e-mail or appointment request from her while she's proxied to me, there's no distinction at all. Is there a way to mimic this sort of functionality with the tools I've chosen? I've figured out that I can add additional 'mail' attributes to the secretary's record, and those addresses are available as drop-down choices in the SOGo web interface, but with the secretary's name and not the manager. Any advice will be much appreciated. And many thanks to the developers involved for writing and making available such amazingly good software. Eliminating the license fees we've been paying to Novell is allowing me to save a technician that surely would have been eliminated in budget cuts this year.

[Dovecot] More Dovecot 2.0 permissions issues
by Tim Traver 22 Jun '10

22 Jun '10

Hi Timo, ok, using the latest 2.0beta6... I can't figure out the settings for the log file to have the correct permissions. When the log file is created, it is created owned by root and 0600 permissions, which doesn't allow the lda to write to it if I use different users and groups for that main config... If I then chmod the log file to 666, then everything is happy, but again, if that log file is removed and created by dovecot, it will create it back with 0600 and the lda will error and not deliver mail because of it... I was not able to find anywhere else to set the mode of the log files or the mask that is used... here is the current config : # 2.0.beta6: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE-p3 i386 auth_username_format = %Lu auth_username_translation = %@ auth_verbose = yes disable_plaintext_auth = no dotlock_use_excl = yes first_valid_uid = 100 listen = * lock_method = dotlock log_path = /local/logs/dovecot.errors mail_gid = 100 mail_location = maildir:%h/Maildir mail_nfs_index = yes mail_nfs_storage = yes mail_uid = 100 mmap_disable = yes passdb { args = /bin/checkpassword_dovecot_auth driver = checkpassword } plugin { quota = maildir sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/Maildir/sieve } protocols = imap pop3 managesieve quota_full_tempfail = yes service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { mode = 0660 } } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = prefetch } userdb { args = /bin/checkpassword_dovecot_deliver driver = checkpassword } verbose_proctitle = yes protocol pop3 { pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh } protocol lda { mail_plugins = quota sieve } protocol imap { mail_plugins = quota imap_quota } Thanks, Tim.

[Dovecot] Postfix, MySQL, Dovecot LDA and alias domains
by Darek M 22 Jun '10

22 Jun '10

Hi there, I have a postfix/postfixadmin/mysql/dovecot install that was using 'virtual' for the LDA. I tried the 'dovecot' LDA to enable Sieve but ran into trouble with aliases. With domain "some-domain.com" being an alias to "somedomain.com", mail sent to *(a)somedomain.com would be delivered to the Maildir fine, but the 'dovecot' LDA tossed "unknown user" for anything sent to *(a)some-domain.com (the alias to the other domain). My dovecot.sql: driver = mysql connect = host=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock dbname=postfix user=dovecot password=dovecot user_query = SELECT concat('/home/vmail/', maildir) as home, concat('maildir:/home/vmail/', maildir) as mail, 5000 AS uid, 5000 AS gid, concat('maildir:storage=', quota) AS quota FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active = '1' password_query = SELECT username as user, password, concat('/home/vmail/', maildir) as userdb_home, concat('maildir:/home/vmail/', maildir) as userdb_mail, 5000 as userdb_uid, 5000 as userdb_gid FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active = '1' The problem is fairly simple: Dovecot isn't being told anything about the 'alias_domain' table that pairs alias domains with actual ones. So the question is: do I add a second "user_query" in dovecot.sql, or is there an "alias_query" directive, or similar? And does anyone have a query that would point an alias domain to the real maildir? - Darek

Hi, I have some problems that every time I start Outlook and retrieve my e-mails and then later tries to do it on my iPhone for example, I get some sort of problem that I can't get the mails. I searched around on the wiki and found the "outlook-no-nuls" and "outlook-idle" options, but where am I suppose to add them? I only have "pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv" in my "protocol pop3 {}" and it didn't work to add it to a new line there. Thanks, Patric

[Dovecot] "failed to store into mailbox 'INBOX': Not enough disk space." with large mail
by Johannes Dröge 22 Jun '10

22 Jun '10

Hello, I am having this error message on some rare emails with more than 6 mb or so. Neither the dovecot server nor the filesystem where the maildir resides have any quota or are full at the time of delivering. The mails goes getmail->postfix->dovecot delivery agent Is the mail written to any other place than the maildir folder? Even though all my temp folders should also be able to hold some megabytes... Thanks for any help, Johannes message: *sieve: info: started log at ... error: msgid=<XXX>: failed to store into mailbox 'INBOX': Not enough disk space. * dovecot --version 1.2.10 dovecot -n # 1.2.10: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 i686 Debian 5.0.4 xfs log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: imaps ssl_cert_file: /etc/certificates/XXX ssl_key_file: /etc/certificates/XXX login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_greeting: XXX mail_access_groups: mail mail_location: maildir:/services/mail/%u mbox_write_locks: fcntl dotlock lda: postmaster_address: root mail_plugins: sieve auth default: verbose: yes passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd plugin: sieve: /var/sieve-scripts/%u/filter.sieve

[Dovecot] New mailbox & autocreate
by Bambero 21 Jun '10

21 Jun '10

Hi, First of all BIG THANKS for great piece of software. I have a small problem with autocreate. My mails are stored in: /var/mail Ex. /var/mail/test(a)test.pl/Maildir Account information comes from DB. So when new account appears in DB full path including home dir is created. But there is one small problem: Group always is "wheel". Autocreating ignores gid from DB and uses the group of the parent directory - in this case /var/mail. But when I create home dir manualy (setting right group) group of autocreated Maildir is OK. Is it possible to configure dovecot to set group from DB. Regards, Bambero

[Dovecot] Error: dict: Leaked a t_pop() call
by Brendan McCollam 21 Jun '10

21 Jun '10

I'm running dovecot 1.0.7 on CentOS 5.5, and I've configured it to work with PostfixAdmin (http://sourceforge.net/projects/postfixadmin/) Everything seems to work great, except for one problem. Any time a user logs in, I get errors like the following Jun 19 02:21:59 ve dovecot: dict: Leaked a t_pop() call in I/O handler (nil) Jun 19 02:21:59 ve dovecot: dict: Raw backtrace: dict [0x40e85e] -> dict [0x40e5cc] -> dict(io_loop_handler_run+0x1c9) [0x411279] -> dict(io_loop_run+0x18) [0x4106b8] -> dict(main+0x139) [0x408509] -> /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf4) [0x2ab19ec13994] -> dict[0x407589] The only information I could find online was from this mailing list a few years back: http://copilotco.com/mail-archives/dovecot.2007/msg08975.html The response seems to be "nobody keeps their quota in MySQL", but the setup I'm using is what's recommended by the authors of PostfixAdmin: http://postfixadmin.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/postfixadmin/trunk/DOCUMENTS… So, I guess my questions are these: 1) Is this error at all serious? Will it impact performance, or can it be safely ignored? 2) If it is something that should be addressed, do you think I would be better off trying to patch and recompile the 1.0.7 version, or just upgrading to a newer version of Dovecot (keeping in mind that 1.0.7 seems to be the latest available in CentOS repositories) Thank you for your time, and your outstanding software. -Brendan

Thanks for the information. I'm not trying to waste your time, and I wasn't really asking for 'help' per se, as much as simply a clear answer about whether that error was even worth worrying about. I'm well aware that 1.0.7 is a pretty old release, and you don't have much control over what the distro maintainers choose to package. Generally speaking, I think there are advantages (not introducing incompatibility with other software, simple dependency resolution, automatic security updates, etc.) to sticking with repo versions, unless you have a compelling reason to do otherwise. In this case, the bugfixes and improvements in quota accuracy are a good reason to upgrade. > > Please download 1.2.12, the current stable release, however read the > release notes because some settings will be incompatible with 1.0.x. > there wont be too many differences but might be some, depending on your > setup. I have moved to 1.2.12 and updated my dovecot-dict-quota.conf file, and it seems to be working great. Thanks again.

[Dovecot] confused with %d/%n not working....
by William Ottley 21 Jun '10

21 Jun '10

Hi all, I'm trying to link in my "online" community of users, via mysql, with my mailserver. I have dovecot 1.0.7. I am using mysql to authenticate, and I'm trying to figure out what I should be doing to my sql query that checks the username which has a username field and a database field. everything works, as long as the username is "u%@d%" in the field, but to work with my other web application, the username is in one field, and the database is in another. can anyone make a suggestion as to how i can do the user_query to work this way? (both with dovecot and the postfix) any help would be greatly appreciated! dovecot: connect = host=localhost dbname=pplsnet user=xxxx password=xxxxxxx password_query = SELECT password FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' user_query = SELECT '/var/vmail/%d/%n' as home, 'maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%n' as mail, 150 AS uid, 12 AS gid, concat('dirsize:storage=',quota) AS quota FROM mailbox WHERE username ='%u' AND active ='1' postfix: user = mail password = xxxx hosts = localhost dbname = mail table = mailbox select_field = CONCAT(domain,'/',maildir) where_field = username additional_conditions = and active = '1'

Big thanks for improvements in svn-trank Roundcube version, I am waiting for official release for update. Timo-san, which client most Dovecot compatible you think (non-Web)?? I want to do more tests.

[Dovecot] coredump while accessing virtual folder with dovecot 2.0
by Matthias Rieber 20 Jun '10

20 Jun '10

Hi, I get a core dump with 2.0.beta6 (573cb66e9180) when I access virtual folders with the master user. Since ACLs are active I have to set a global ACL in .DEFAULTS to access all folders. Coredump: Core was generated by `dovecot/imap'. Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

[Dovecot] Sieve isn't working
by Steven Weiß 20 Jun '10

20 Jun '10

Hi, I tried to get Sieve plugin running but I don't get it to work and actually have no idea what's wrong. My dovecot version is 1.2.12 and dovecot -n prints this: # 1.2.12: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.18-028stab064.7 i686 openSUSE 11.1 (i586) reiserfs log_path: /var/log/dovecot.log info_log_path: /var/log/dovecot.log disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login first_valid_uid: 110 last_valid_uid: 110 mail_location: maildir:/var/qmail/mailnames/%d/%n/Maildir fsync_disable: yes lda: postmaster_address: postmaster(a)code-factory.de mail_plugins: sieve mail_plugin_dir: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lda fsync_disable: no auth default: passdb: driver: passwd-file args: /usr/local/etc/passwd.dovecot userdb: driver: passwd userdb: driver: static args: uid=popuser gid=popuser plugin: sieve: /var/mail/mydomain/.dovecot.sieve sieve_global_path: /var/lib/dovecot/sieve/default.sieve sieve_dir: /var/mail/mydomain/sieve sieve_global_dir: /var/lib/dovecot/sieve/global/ For testing purposes I created a very simple /var/mail/mydomain/.dovecot.sieve with the following content: require ["fileinto", "regex"]; if address :is "from" "test(a)test.de" { fileinto "INBOX.Webi"; stop; } Then I sent a mail from test(a)test.de (the real address is ommitted here) to my mail account, but the mail is not moved to the subfolder Webi. In the log files there's no single hint what's going on. And in /var/mail/mydomain there's no .dovecot.sieve.log file. This directory is owned by popuser and that user has rights for reading and writing to this directory (and read rights for .dovecot.sieve), therefore it should not be a rights problem. Does anybody has suggestions what could be the cause of this? Sincerely, Steven

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.0 auth socket error
by Tim Traver 18 Jun '10

18 Jun '10

Hi Timo, ok, when dovecot starts up, it creates the socket files in /usr/local/var/run/dovecot for the auth and a variety of other socket stuff you have going on. It creates these socket files with root ownership. But I have in the config files that dovecot is running as a particular user (in this case uid100 and gid100) to match the global mail systems needs. I use qmail as the delivery agent, and when qmail envokes deliver, I get the following errors in the qmail log files : @400000004c1b18f22ea7a05c delivery 1497: deferral: lda:_Error:_userdb_lookup:_connect(/usr/local/var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb)_failed:_Permission_denied_(euid=100(sn)_egid=100(sn)_missing_+w_perm:_/usr/local/var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb,_euid_is_not_dir_owner)/lda:_Fatal:_Internal_error_occurred._Refer_to_server_log_for_more_information./ Now, from what I can tell, this is complaining that the socket doesn't have write permission for the group, because it is owned by root and created with only 600 permissions...I can chmod the file to add the rw for the group, and then it appears to start working ok, but if I stop and start dovecot, it will only re-create those files with the 600 permissions... It appears that this is not happening in the version 1.2.11 code base as I this machine is a new one that I am testing 2.0 code on... Am I missing a proper setting somewhere? here is my dovecot -l : # 2.0.beta6: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE-p3 i386 auth_username_format = %Lu auth_username_translation = %@ auth_verbose = yes disable_plaintext_auth = no dotlock_use_excl = yes first_valid_uid = 100 listen = * lock_method = dotlock log_path = /local/logs/dovecot.errors mail_gid = 100 mail_location = maildir:%h/Maildir mail_nfs_index = yes mail_nfs_storage = yes mail_uid = 100 mmap_disable = yes passdb { args = /bin/checkpassword_dovecot_auth driver = checkpassword } plugin { quota = maildir sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/Maildir/sieve } protocols = imap pop3 managesieve quota_full_tempfail = yes ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = prefetch } userdb { args = /bin/checkpassword_dovecot_deliver driver = checkpassword } verbose_proctitle = yes protocol pop3 { pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh } protocol lda { mail_plugins = quota sieve } protocol imap { mail_plugins = quota imap_quota } Thanks, Tim.

[Dovecot] strange regex sieve filter error
by Tim Traver 18 Jun '10

18 Jun '10

Hi all, ok, I'm getting an error produced by the following sieve file : require ["fileinto","copy"]; # rule:[SPAM-TAG] if allof ( header :regex "Subject" "^\\[SPAM-TAG\\]") { fileinto "SPAM-TAG"; stop; } and I'm getting the following error in the dovecot delivery log : main_script: line 3: error: unknown tagged argument ':regex' for the header test (reported only once at first occurence). main_script: error: validation failed. But I looked up the syntax, and tried to figure out why this is getting the error. I guess I just don't quite know what this error means... I know that the value that it is trying to match is kind of strange, but it is a regular expression, so it should work... Thanks, Tim.

[Dovecot] Problem configuring rawlog with 2.0beta6
by Mark Sapiro 18 Jun '10

18 Jun '10

The initial problem I was seeing after upgrade from 2.0beta5 to 2.0beta6 was error messages from my Android phone K9 client that dovecot was reporting -1 messages in various mailboxes. These mailboxes do have the special "Mail System Internal Data" message in them. In trying to get more information for debugging, I tried toenable rawlog using the same configuration I used successfully with 2.0beta5, namely: service imap { executable = imap imap-postlogin } service imap-postlogin { executable = script rawlog unix_listener imap-postlogin { } } (full dovecot -n below), but instead of successful rawlog writes, I got the following log messages: Jun 16 19:46:36 sbh16 dovecot: script: Fatal: Client not compatible with this binary (connecting to wrong socket?) Jun 16 19:46:36 sbh16 dovecot: imap: Error: fd_read(/usr/local/var/run/dovecot/imap-postlogin) failed: disconnected So the first question is how do I configure rawlog for 2.0beta6? And the next question is why the "-1 messages".

18 Jun '10

Hello, I have been using successfully Dovecot 1.1.x for about a year now. It has been very stable. Now I'm uprading that same system to newer and more powerful hardware and I was wondering whether it is good idea or not to switch to Dovecot 1.2.x series. Could anybody direct me to feature comparision document or explain here main differences betweeen thos two branches? -- Veiko

[Dovecot] LDA to address extensions
by Martijn de Munnik 18 Jun '10

18 Jun '10

Hi List, I'm trying to make dovecot deliver messages to sam+extension(a)example.com to the imap folder 'extension' of the user 'sam'. I've configured postfix with these dovecot as LDA: mailbox_command = /opt/redknot/libexec/dovecot/deliver -f "$SENDER" -d "$USER" -m "$EXTENSION" -a "$RECIPIENT" recipient_delimiter = + Sam is a local system user so I don't want to use virtual_transport (I think). I've read http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Postfix but so far without success. # 1.2.11: /etc/opt/redknot/dovecot.conf Warning: There is no way to login to this server: disable_plaintext_auth=yes, ssl=no, no non-plaintext auth mechanisms. # OS: SunOS 5.11 sun4v log_path: /var/log/dovecot.log ssl: no login_dir: /opt/redknot/var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /opt/redknot/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_max_processes_count: 10 max_mail_processes: 10 mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir lda: postmaster_address: postmaster(a)redknot.nl mail_plugins: sieve mail_plugin_dir: /opt/redknot/lib/dovecot/lda sendmail_path: /usr/sbin/sendmail auth_socket_path: /opt/redknot/var/run/dovecot/auth-master auth default: passdb: driver: pam args: other userdb: driver: passwd socket: type: listen master: path: /opt/redknot/var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 plugin: sieve_before: /etc/opt/redknot/sieve/before sieve_after: /etc/opt/redknot/sieve/after I know about the warning, this dovecot is only used as LDA, not for imap or pop3. thanks, Martijn YoungGuns Kasteleinenkampweg 7b 5222 AX 's-Hertogenbosch T. 073 623 56 40 F. 073 623 56 39 www.youngguns.nl KvK 18076568 YoungGuns Kasteleinenkampweg 7b 5222 AX 's-Hertogenbosch T. 073 623 56 40 F. 073 623 56 39 www.youngguns.nl KvK 18076568

[Dovecot] \Noselect on virtual folders
by Matthias Rieber 17 Jun '10

17 Jun '10

Hi, I've some virtual folders which seem a bit odd when they are listed. a LIST "virtual.spam." "*" * LIST (\Noselect \HasNoChildren) "." "virtual.spam." * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "virtual.spam.unchecked" * LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "." "virtual.spam.disagree" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "virtual.spam.disagree.dspam" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "virtual.spam.disagree.spamassassin" a OK List completed. This seems ok, virtual.spam and virtual.spam.disagree can't contain mails. I'm wondering if virtual.spam should have the flag \HasChildren instead if \HasNoChildren, but this doesn't cause trouble... a LIST (SUBSCRIBED) "virtual.spam." "*" * LIST (\Subscribed \Noselect) "." "virtual.spam.disagree.spamassassin" * LIST (\Subscribed \Noselect) "." "virtual.spam.disagree.dspam" * LIST (\Subscribed \Noselect) "." "virtual.spam.unchecked" a OK List completed. When I list the folder with (SUBSCRIBED), the virtual folders are all flagged with \Noselect. This appears at all virtual folders. All other folders don't have the \Noselect flag. On the Nokia N900 I can't enter all virtual folders. The log shows that the n900 always list the folders with (SUBSCRIBED). Is this listing the expected behaviour? regards, Matthias

[Dovecot] Shared mailboxes errors
by Nikita Koshikov 17 Jun '10

17 Jun '10

Hello list, I'm implementing shared mailboxes on live system and after enabling acl plugin I got errors in my log: Jun 17 15:50:33 dict: Error: sql dict iterate: Invalid/unmapped path: shared/shared-boxes/anyone/ I have no clue why this happening, users don't know about new functionality they just use imap as before. Also dict database begin to fill up by records like: select * from user_shares; user@domain.com|admin@domain.com|1 But user don't use setacl command. Searching for the list gave http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2009-April/038664.html , but question seemed still open. So, can someone give point how to fix\avoid this ? One more question, on live system it's hard to debug dovecot with mail_debug=yes for all users, can this option be turn on for individual user? or maybe mail_debug stream can be redirected also for individual user ?

[Dovecot] basic conf error? v1.2.11
by Justin Krejci 17 Jun '10

17 Jun '10

I just downloaded 1.2.11 and compiled from source including mysql support and using default directory locations. I walked thru the included example conf file and tweaked it out and get an invalid configuration file. I trimmed out all of the commented sections to make the non-default config super easy to navigate during troubleshooting. Remaining config which gives an error of "unknown setting: mechanisms" so I switched it to auth_mechanisms and then get the following when starting dovecot: Error: Error in configuration file /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf line 18: Unknown section type (section changed in /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf at line 14) Fatal: Invalid configuration in /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf ##################### protocols = imap pop3 listen = <SCRUBBED IP> disable_plaintext_auth = no ssl = no login_processes_count = 100 login_max_processes_count = 500 login_max_connections = 512 login_greeting = DovecotProxy08 ready. protocol imap { } protocol pop3 { } protocol lda { } #LINE 14 auth_username_chars = abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ01234567890.-_@/$!&\ auth default { mechanisms = plain passdb sql { #LINE 18 args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf } userdb sql { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf } user = root } dict { } plugin { } ##################### Any ideas what is wrong here? It seems like the example conf file is not correct. Yes the dovecot-sql.conf file exists.

[Dovecot] ZFS Index corruption and Connection reset by peer
by Philippe Chevalier 17 Jun '10

17 Jun '10

Hello, I'm currently using dovecot 1.2.11 on FreeBSD 8.0 with ZFS filesystems. So far, so good, it works quite nicely, but I have a couple glitches. Each user has his own zfs partition, mounted on /home/<user> (easier to set per user quotas) and mail is stored in their home. From day one, when people check their mail via imap, a lot of indexes corruption occured : dovecot: IMAP(<user>@domain.org): Corrupted transaction log file /home/<user>/Mail/Maildir/INBOX/dovecot.index.log seq 13: record size too small +(type=0x0, offset=5560, size=0) (sync_offset=5652) dovecot: IMAP(<user>@domain.org): fscking index file /home/<user>/Mail/Maildir/INBOX/dovecot.index dovecot: IMAP(<user>@domain.org): /home/<user>/Mail/Maildir/INBOX/dovecot.index log position went backwards (13,132 < 13,5560) dovecot: IMAP(<user>@domain.org): Transaction log file /home/<user>/Mail/Maildir/INBOX/dovecot.index.log: marked corrupted etc, etc... After some digging, I "solved" this problem with mmap_disable = yes in dovecot.conf. Index corruption doesn't seem to occur anymore. Is this normal? I thought this problem occured only on NFS filesystem and eventually on old versions of ZFS. Hasn't this been fixed? Is there an option in ZFS that would allow mmap calls without corruption. Has it something to do with compression ? The options of the zfs filesystem are : zhome/username type filesystem - zhome/username creation Thu Mar 18 11:10 2010 - zhome/username used 750M - zhome/username available 61.0G - zhome/username referenced 750M - zhome/username compressratio 1.20x - zhome/username mounted yes - zhome/username quota none default zhome/username reservation none default zhome/username recordsize 128K default zhome/username mountpoint /usr/home/username inherited from zhome zhome/username sharenfs off default zhome/username checksum on default zhome/username compression lzjb inherited from zhome zhome/username atime off inherited from zhome zhome/username devices on default zhome/username exec on default zhome/username setuid on default zhome/username readonly off default zhome/username jailed off default zhome/username snapdir hidden default zhome/username aclmode groupmask default zhome/username aclinherit restricted default zhome/username canmount on default zhome/username shareiscsi off default zhome/username xattr off temporary zhome/username copies 1 default zhome/username version 3 - zhome/username utf8only off - zhome/username normalization none - zhome/username casesensitivity sensitive - zhome/username vscan off default zhome/username nbmand off default zhome/username sharesmb off default zhome/username refquota none default zhome/username refreservation none default zhome/username primarycache all default zhome/username secondarycache all default zhome/username usedbysnapshots 0 - zhome/username usedbydataset 750M - zhome/username usedbychildren 0 - zhome/username usedbyrefreservation 0 - Other problem, that I have been unable to solve so far, is that a lot of entries show up in my logs about : dovecot: imap-login: net_disconnect() failed: Connection reset by peer It doesn't seem to have any adverse effect, except it's filling up the logs. It seem to appear when a client closes the imap connection? Is there a way to suppress this error? Regard P.C.

[Dovecot] BUG Dovecot 1.0.15 and Apples Mail.app
by Gerhard Waldemair 17 Jun '10

17 Jun '10

Is there anyone using Apple´s Mail.app to collect the mails via IMAP or IMAPS ? I found a funny bug in Debian Lennys Dovecot Version. (still v. 1.0.15) When I get my Mails via IMAP or IMAPS and define a Rule in Mail.app to move the eMail to s specific folder I will find the mail 2 times in the folder. After a minute or so the double Mail disappears. I have tried it with other programs like Thunderbird. There everything works, v1.0 too. Now I have updatet Dovecot from 1.0 to 1.2 from Backports and everything works great now !!!!! Regards, Gerhard PS in Squeeze Dovecot is Version 1.2

Hello (and Moin Moin) ;) I have currently a straith Problem ... I have our IMAP-Server migrated from an old cyrus the the current stable Version of dovecot. In the old configuration we organized many mails (e.g. root-Stuff) in Public Folders. They structure had nearly 5 folderlevels. After the complete migration an syncronize we switch complete to the dovecot setup. At this moment we have problems with access to the Public Folders. (We use as Client the actualy Thunderbird3 ...) When i want subscribe Folders, i have no access to folder are deeper as second level! Now, i have testet with rawlogs an switch on the debugging in Thunderbird, but a have no more idea! :-( Here an extract of our Public Folders: ,------------------------------------- Shared Folders +- shared +- backup | +- archive | +- warnings +- databases +- WARNINGS +- ERRORS +- archive +- projects +- ... +- ... +- archive `------------------------------------- I can see max. the Folders 'Shared Folders.shared.backup', not they subfolders! :( Now the techs: ,------------------------------------- dovecot --version 1.2.11 dovecot -n # 1.2.11: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 i686 Debian 5.0.4 ext3 log_path: /var/log/dovecot/dovecot.log info_log_path: /var/log/dovecot/dovecot.info.log log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S | protocols: imap managesieve lda listen(default): * listen(imap): * listen(managesieve): *:2000 disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(managesieve): /usr/lib/dovecot/managesieve-login login_greeting: S2B Dovecot ready. login_log_format_elements: user=<%n> method=%m rip=%r lip=%l %c max_mail_processes: 64 verbose_proctitle: yes first_valid_gid: 100 mail_privileged_group: vmail mail_uid: 1101 mail_gid: 1101 mail_location: maildir:/home/vmail/%n/:CONTROL=/home/vmail/%n/control:INDEX=/home/vmail/%n/indexes mailbox_idle_check_interval: 120 mail_debug: yes maildir_stat_dirs: yes mbox_write_locks: fcntl dotlock mail_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/rawlog /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/rawlog /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(managesieve): /usr/lib/dovecot/managesieve mail_plugins(default): autocreate mail_plugins(imap): autocreate mail_plugins(managesieve): mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(managesieve): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/managesieve mail_log_prefix: %Us(%n): namespace: type: private separator: . location: maildir:/home/vmail/%n/:CONTROL=/home/vmail/%n/control:INDEX=/home/vmail/%n/indexes:LAYOUT=maildir++ inbox: yes list: yes subscriptions: yes namespace: type: public separator: . prefix: Shared Folders. location: maildir:/home/vmail/folder-shared:CONTROL=/home/vmail/%n/shared.control/:INDEX=/home/vmail/%n/shared.indexes/:LAYOUT=maildir++ list: yes lda: postmaster_address: postmaster@.....de mail_plugins: sieve auth_socket_path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master deliver_log_format: msgid=%m: %$ log_path: /var/log/dovecot/dovecot-deliver.log info_log_path: /var/log/dovecot/dovecot-deliver.log mail_debug: yes auth default: mechanisms: plain login cache_size: 2048 username_format: %Ln worker_max_count: 25 passdb: driver: pam args: session=yes cache_key=%u dovecot passdb: driver: passwd-file args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-pwd.conf userdb: driver: static args: uid=1101 gid=1101 home=/home/vmail/%Lu socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 user: vmail group: vmail plugin: autocreate: Trash autocreate2: Spam autosubscribe: Trash autosubscribe2: Spam mail_log_events: delete undelete expunge copy mailbox_delete mailbox_rename mail_log_fields: uid box msgid size convert_skip_broken_mailboxes: no convert_skip_dotdirs: no sieve: /home/SIEVE-SCRIPTE/%Ln.sieve mail_debug: yes `------------------------------------- Can you please help me?

[Dovecot] Ok with a bit more wiki reading ...
by Chuck McManis 17 Jun '10

17 Jun '10

So if I want to run dovecot from tcpserver it seems like I can simply run `pop3-login --ssl` from tcpserver (its sort of like running it from inetd) and it says it will 'talk to dovecot'. Can I disable all listeners in dovecot then? Will is still talk to it? Trying some experiments now ... --Chuck

[Dovecot] Migrating from CommunigatePro to Dovecot - anyone done this?
by Gavin Lawrie 17 Jun '10

17 Jun '10

Apologies if this is in the archive - did look but couldn't find it. Does anyone have any experience of migrating from CommunigatePro to Dovecot? We currently run CGP 5.3.4, supporting a small system (20 or so users, one domain). We've been using it for years, and have a mixed bag of MailDir and mbox folders accessed via IMAP clients. Some users have large mail accounts (15GB total). We're looking to move as CGP is evolving into a complex "Messaging Centre" application (PBX, SIP, Mail, Groupware, Portals etc.) which we don't need / use. I had a look on the Dovecot Wiki and under migration are discussions about various other mail systems, but I don't know enough about these to tell if they would also apply to CGP. Any thoughts / suggestions would be welcomed. Thanks Gavin. * Balanced Scorecard Training from 2GC: Next course 16th July 2010 in the UK.

[Dovecot] search bug?
by Pozsar Balazs 16 Jun '10

16 Jun '10

Hi all, I have emails with multiple Delivered-To: headers in them. The problem is that the SEARCH command only searches in the first instances. For example: 1 FETCH 14557 BODY[HEADER.FIELDS (Delivered-To)] * 14557 FETCH (BODY[HEADER.FIELDS (DELIVERED-TO)] {85} Delivered-To: pozsy(a)ojjektum.uhulinux.hu Delivered-To: szamlagyar(a)uhusystems.com ) 1 OK Fetch completed. 1 SEARCH HEADER Delivered-To szamlagyar(a)uhusystems.com * SEARCH 14589 1 OK Search completed (0.146 secs). You can see the meesage with the id 14557 _has_ a "Delivered-To: szamlagyar(a)uhusystems.com" header field, but the SEARCH does not find it, only another message. This is with dovecot 1.2.11. For the record, cyrus-imapd behaves as I would have expected, and I could not find anything relevant in the RFCs. Could anyone tell me if this is a bug, or how to search like I would want? Thanks, Balazs Pozsar

[Dovecot] New admin, not much success
by Chuck McManis 16 Jun '10

16 Jun '10

Hello, I'm trying to set up something fairly simple (famous last words) using Dovecot. I have a very small setup (just a dozen users) I'm using qmail as my MTA. I'm running FreeBSD 8.0 I've got qmail delivering into a file named 'Mailbox' in user's home directories. I prefer not to use Maildir delivery because from a shell its a PITA to get a Maildir aware MUA (I use /bin/mail when I'm attached locally) What I'm trying to do is configure an SSL only POP3 server so that folks can retrieve their email on the road without divulging their passwords. My backup scenario is to put VPN software on my user's clients and having them VPN into the network and then do un-encrypted POP3 from the VPN. I prefer not to do this as it means maintaining the VPN client as well. Users have a mix of MacOS, Windows, and Linux. So, I can't get dovecot to work at all. In an unusual turn about I got the SSL stuff working but not the mailbox handling. I'm running 2.0beta6 Output from dovecot -n ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ # 2.0.beta6: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE-p2 i386 nfs auth_debug = yes auth_verbose = yes default_internal_user = nobody default_login_user = nobody listen = * mail_full_filesystem_access = yes mail_location = mbox:/home/%u/:INBOX=/home/%u/ passdb { driver = pam } protocols = pop3 service pop3-login { inet_listener pop3s { port = 995 ssl = yes } } service pop3 { process_limit = 1024 } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = passwd } ----------------------------------------------------------------------- A typical failure looks like this in maillog: Jun 15 22:19:20 eeebox dovecot: master: Dovecot v2.0.beta6 starting up Jun 15 22:20:29 eeebox dovecot: pop3-login: Login: user=<cmcmanis>, method=PLAIN, rip=66.125.189.27, lip=66.125.189.30, mpid=78871, TLS Jun 15 22:20:29 eeebox dovecot: pop3(cmcmanis): Error: Opening INBOX failed: Mailbox isn't selectable Jun 15 22:20:29 eeebox dovecot: pop3(cmcmanis): Error: Couldn't open INBOX: Mailbox isn't selectable Jun 15 22:20:29 eeebox dovecot: pop3(cmcmanis): Couldn't open INBOX top=0/0, retr=0/0, del=0/0, size=0 -------------------------------------------------------------- Home directories are mounted via NFS and root doesn't have access, but if dovecot accesses the Mailbox as the user it should work fine. I'm about ready to start hacking in additional logging into mail-storage.c to figure out what "mailbox isn't selectable" means. --Chuck

[Dovecot] Logout after SSL/TLS negociation
by bmfr 16 Jun '10

16 Jun '10

Hi All, I've set up Dovecot to use my signed SSL certificate and IMAP client is using STARTTLS on port 143 without secure authentication. The TLS negociation process seems to go through ok but once the negociation is finished the client sends an IMAP LOGOUT message; he does not try to authenticate, below is the Dovecot's info log: dovecot: 2010-06-15 15:37:01 Info: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=3932 dovecot: 2010-06-15 15:37:03 Info: imap-login: Aborted login (0 authentication attempts): rip=130.100.32.54, lip=10.0.3.3, TLS I've decrypted the TLS negociation thanks to Wireshark (in SSL preferences I added the certificate's private key to decode the stream between client and server) but unfortunately it does not say why the client is sending the LOGOUT command. Do you have an idea of what could be wrong in my server set up? What debugging process would you advise me to follow? Thanks a lot for your precious help.

[Dovecot] A new director service in v2.0 for NFS installations
by Timo Sirainen 16 Jun '10

16 Jun '10

As http://wiki.dovecot.org/NFS describes, the main problem with NFS has always been caching problems. One NFS client changes two files, but another NFS client sees only one of the changes, which Dovecot then assumes is caused by corruption. The recommended solution has always been to redirect the same user to only a single server at the same time. User doesn't have to be permanently assigned there, but as long as a server has some of user's files cached, it should be the only server accessing the user's mailbox. Recently I was thinking about a way to make this possible with an SQL database: http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2010-January/046112.html The company here in Italy didn't really like such idea, so I thought about making it more transparent and simpler to manage. The result is a new "director" service, which does basically the same thing, except without SQL database. The idea is that your load balancer can redirect connections to one or more Dovecot proxies, which internally then figure out where the user should go. So the proxies act kind of like a secondary load balancer layer. When a connection from a newly seen user arrives, it gets assigned to a mail server according to a function: host = vhosts[ md5(username) mod vhosts_count ] This way all of the proxies assign the same user to the same host without having to talk to each others. The vhosts[] is basically an array of hosts, except each host is initially listed there 100 times (vhost count=100). This vhost count can then be increased or decreased as necessary to change the host's load, probably automatically in future. The problem is then of course that if (v)hosts are added or removed, the above function will return a different host than was previously used for the same user. That's why there is also an in-memory database that keeps track of username -> (hostname, timestamp) mappings. Every new connection from user refreshes the timestamp. Also existing connections refresh the timestamp every n minutes. Once all connections are gone, the timestamp expires and the user is removed from database. The final problem then is how multiple proxies synchronize their state. The proxies connect to each others forming a connection ring. For example with 4 proxies the connections would go like A -> B -> C -> A. Each time a user is added/refreshed, a notification is sent to both directions in the ring (e.g. B sends to A and C), which in turn forward it until it reaches a server that has already seen it. This way if a proxy dies (or just hangs for a few seconds), the other proxies still get the changes without waiting for it to timeout. Host changes are replicated in the same way. It's possible that two connections from a user arrive to different proxies while (v)hosts are being added/removed. It's also possible that only one of the proxies has seen the host change. So the proxies could redirect users to different servers during that time. This can be prevented by doing a ring-wide sync, during which all proxies delay assigning hostnames to new users. This delay shouldn't be too bad because a) they should happen rarely, b) it should be over quickly, c) users already in database can still be redirected during the sync. The main complexity here comes from how to handle proxy server failures in different situations. Those are less interesting to describe and I haven't yet implemented all of it, so let's just assume that in future it all works perfectly. :) I was also thinking about writing a test program to simulate the director failures to make sure it all works. Finally, there are the doveadm commands that can be used to: 1) List the director status: # doveadm director status mail server ip vhosts users 11.22.3.44 100 1312 12.33.4.55 50 1424 1) Add a new mail server (defaults are in dovecot.conf): # doveadm director add 1.2.3.4 2) Change a mail server's vhost count to alter its connection count (also works during adding): # doveadm director add 1.2.3.4 50 3) Remove a mail server completely (because it's down): # doveadm director remove 1.2.3.4 If you want to slowly get users away from a specific server, you can assign its vhost count to 0 and wait for its user count to drop to zero. If the server is still working while "doveadm director remove" is called, new connections from the users in that server are going to other servers while the old ones are still being handled.

[Dovecot] Sieve doesn't appear to be active
by Darek M 16 Jun '10

16 Jun '10

I'm hoping that this isn't something stupid and that I'm not wasting bandwidth here, but I'm stuck and don't know any further ways of debugging this. And most non-documentation, end-user created info I find is for 1.0 with cmusieve. Running Dovecot 1.2.11 on Fedora Core 12. Added 'sieve' to 'mail_plugins'. Have enabled verbose logging with 'mail_debug = yes'. But I'm not seeing anything in the logs relating to sieve, and the sieve script I point to isn't being compiled (no .log file). Everything else works fine, this is a production system where I'm trying to add sieve support. What steps can I take to troubleshoot?

[Dovecot] passwd-file management utility
by Phil Howard 15 Jun '10

15 Jun '10

I'm now putting together tools/documentation to manage/administer the mail server, including, of course, managing users. Round one will be command line tools. In order to avoid re-invention, I was looking around for existing tools. I really cannot find any. So it seems I will be developing them. The first will be the one to manage users in the passwd-file format. So I'm just asking around if anyone has heard of such tools somewhere Google isn't finding (it does find lots of generic pages with the keywords used in other contexts). If not, I'll be building my own (and this will be for passwd-file format for the userdb/passdb),

[Dovecot] Maildir + /var/mail
by Greg Pearson 15 Jun '10

15 Jun '10

Hi, I have just switched to Maildir, and I have noticed something. Even though it works properly, I have noticed that a file named /var/mail/user with 0 bytes length is still created. Is this normal? I use sendmail+procmail+dovecot. I have also tried the combined procmail+deliver approach with the same results. I also use a global /etc/procmailrc. Thank you

[Dovecot] convert Plugin Error
by Bradlee Landis 14 Jun '10

14 Jun '10

I am getting an error when using the convert plugin for dovecot. Jun 14 13:27:20 mail dovecot: IMAP(user): Mailbox conversion: rename(/home/user/mail, /home/user/mail-converted) failed: Directory not empty Dovecot creates mail-converted, but does not delete mail completely for some reason. It continues to add a message from the mbox to Maildir format, creating duplicates every time I check my email. I can fix it by deleting mail-converted, but I don't want this to happen to other users on the system. Does anyone have a clue as to why it's doing this, and what I can do to fix it? I can send you my mbox file and home directory structure if you'd like to take a gander at it. Dovecot v1.0.7 Scientific Linux 5.4 (Importing mbox files from RHEL 3.8). -- Thanks, Brad Landis

[Dovecot] Ubuntu upgrade to 10.04 --> dovecot no longer working
by HenkR 14 Jun '10

14 Jun '10

Hi, Last year I installed dovecot on my Ubuntu V9 system 64 bit system. I use it to store emails from several clients in the LAN using IMAP. Last week I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04. Now Dovecot is no longer working. It started with messages about sieve, so I disabled sieve in the configuration file (did not use it in the past, don't know what it is). Dovecot can now be started without errors or warnings, but I cannot connect in the client. I get a message saying "could not connect to server: connection refused". Can anybody help? kind regards, Henk -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Ubuntu-upgrade-to-10.04---%3E-dovecot-no-longer-worki… Sent from the Dovecot mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Dovecot] v2.0.beta6 released
by Timo Sirainen 14 Jun '10

14 Jun '10

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/beta/dovecot-2.0.beta6.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/beta/dovecot-2.0.beta6.tar.gz.sig Unfortunately this still isn't rc1 yet, but the next one will be, I promise :) Basically all of the important changes are done now. The TODO list for rc1 is: - Test and fix dsync bugs - Finish director - Add man pages started by Pascal Volk. BTW. He asked for some feedback about them, but got only one reply: http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2010-June/049438.html I've also read through and answered nearly all of my email backlog. If you haven't gotten a reply, resend the mail. Some changes since beta5: - Added director: http://blog.dovecot.org/2010/05/new-director-service-in-v20-for-nfs.html - IMAP: Added STATUS (X-VSIZE) command for easily getting mailbox's virtual size. - Lots and lots of doveadm improvements and new commands - Postlogin scripts now need to be executed using "script-login", not "script" binary. - Quota warnings are executed now asynchronously using the new script binary. See http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.0/rev/a179fcbbf960 - Added passdb static for proxying and similar configurations - TLS SNI configuration must now be done using local_name {} blocks, not local {} - lib-storage plugin API changes, external plugins must be updated to work correctly - Lots of fixes

[Dovecot] Shared Mailbox Questions
by Chris Hobbs 11 Jun '10

11 Jun '10

Hi All, I've pored over the wiki, read through the archive, and have what I believe should be a working set-up, but I can't seem to get my shared namespace to work correctly. Any guidance would be much appreciated. I started off using a flat file for acl_shared_dict and ran into the same problem recently reported with the shared-database file getting chown'd to the first user to touch it with 0600 permissions. So I thought I'd give it a whirl with sqlite. Here are the (hopefully) relevant bits from dovecot -n (the entire output is posted below). This is dovecot 1.2.9 running on a freshly installed ubuntu 10.4 server: namespace: type: shared separator: / prefix: shared/%%u/ location: maildir:/home/staff/%%n/Maildir:INDEX=~/Maildir/shared/%%u list: children plugin: acl_shared_dict: proxy::acl dict: acl: sqlite:/etc/dovecot/acl-shared-dict.conf acl-shared-dict.conf looks like this: connect = /home/staff/dovecot/acl-shared-ns.sqlite map { table = acl_shared_ns pattern = shared/shared-boxes/user/$to/$from value_field = has_visible_folders fields { from_user = $from to_user = $to } } /home/staff/dovecot/acl-shared-ns.sqlite is set 0666, and I can add records to it from the sqlite command line as a normal user. The table was created with: CREATE TABLE acl_shared_ns (from_user, to_user, has_visible_folders, PRIMARY KEY (from_user) ON CONFLICT REPLACE); When I attempt to SETACL from a telnet imap session, I get the following errors in mail.err: Jun 9 22:10:23 imap2 dovecot: dict: dict sql iterate failed: file is encrypted or is not a database Jun 9 22:10:23 imap2 dovecot: dict: dict sql iterate failed: file is encrypted or is not a database Jun 9 22:10:23 imap2 dovecot: dict: sqlite: exec(INSERT INTO acl_shared_ns (has_visible_folders,to_user,from_user) VALUES ('1','chobbs','IOchoa')) failed: file is encrypted or is not a database (26) Jun 9 22:10:23 imap2 dovecot: IMAP(IOchoa): read(/var/run/dovecot/dict-server) failed: Remote disconnected Jun 9 22:10:23 imap2 dovecot: IMAP(IOchoa): acl: dict commit failed Jun 9 22:10:23 imap2 dovecot: dovecot: child 8268 (dict) killed with signal 11 (core dumps disabled) Running that same "INSERT INTO..." as the IOchoa user from the sqlite command line works just fine. At this point any further deleteacl or setacl commands simply hang, presumably because there's no longer a running dict process.

Timo, thank you for the reply to my question about shared folders yesterday. I'm now trying to get quota reporting working consistently. This is with dovecot 1.2.11 in solaris 10 sparc. We have local quotas for the mail spool (/a1) and quotas for home directories. All are UFS and have rpc (rquota) working fine. With just this: protocol imap { mail_plugins = quota imap_quota } My mail client (thunderbird 3.0.4) reported the home directory quota. So then I added this: plugin { quota = fs:INBOX:mount=/a1 quota2 = fs:Home:mount=%h } First, I had to make /a1/quotas world readable, otherwise I'd get this error: open(/a1/quotas) failed: Permission denied I'm getting the same type of error with the quota2 line now: open(/nfs/rack/u4/quotas) failed: Permission denied Since the home directory quota worked without the plugin configuration, my guess is that the plugin config is not using rpc. I can't find any way to force it to use rpc. Again, if I make that 'quotas' file world readable (which I believe isn't good practice), dovecot stops complaining. Also, what should I expect to see on the client? Will dovecot report only one quota (the one that's closer to the limit), or will it report both? I've only seen the first quota in thunderbird, but that could easily be a client issue. thank you Tom Lieuallen Oregon State University

[Dovecot] null errors from 2.0.beta5
by Mike Abbott 11 Jun '10

11 Jun '10

When my dovecot-2.0.beta5 auth module logs a 552-byte debug message, the message is split into two lines and also a null error message: Wed Jun 9 23:44:29 gromit dovecot[58892]: auth: Error: I think this has to do with the use of PIPE_BUF (512) sized buffers in the logging code, and the !line_is_ok() case in i_failure_parse_line(). Could you please remove the null error message? Just a nuisance, nothing serious. Thanks.

[Dovecot] lazy-expunge acl bug?
by Martin Ott 11 Jun '10

11 Jun '10

Hi, we've defined a public namespace "shared" and use the acl and lazy-expunge plugins among others. The problem is, that a mailbox is deleted by the DELETE-command without the x-flag to be set (# 1.2.9): a myrights shared/aclDeleteTest * MYRIGHTS "shared/aclDeleteTest" lrsed a OK Myrights completed. b delete shared/aclDeleteTest b OK Delete completed. c myrights shared/aclDeleteTest c NO Mailbox doesn't exist: aclDeleteTest This behavior should be different and the mailbox should not be deleted, should it? Is there a fast workaround? Without the e-flag, mailboxes can't be deleted. But as some users should be allowed to use the expunge operation, it's no option to remove the e-flag... thx Martin

[Dovecot] problems with shared mailboxes and other general issues
by Tom Lieuallen 11 Jun '10

11 Jun '10

I'm also having beginner's troubles with shared mailboxes with dovecot 1.2.11. I've used the TestInstallation instructions for connecting to the imap port via openssl and issuing the setacl/getacl commands. Those appear to be fine. I'm having real difficulty with the acl_shared_dict configuration. I'd prefer to just use a flat file, as I don't anticipate using shared folders very frequently. I don't need a database and would greatly prefer not to have a dependency on our database service. So, with this setting: acl_shared_dict = file:/private/dovecot/var/etc/shared-mailboxes The '../var/etc' directory is something like 755. I have to create the file first and make it 666. When it is updated, ownership & permissions are changed such that the user giving acl permissions then owns the file and it's 600. I tried setting it back to 644 afterward, so other users could read it, but they tried setting a lock in that dir as well. I tried this: acl_shared_dict = file:/private/dovecot/var/etc/shared-list/shared-mailboxes-%u Then I made shared-list have '1777' permissions. Permissions-wise, this will now work, including locks, but I'm guessing this is just plain wrong and I still can't verify access. My second choice was to use sqlite for this acl_shared_dict, but, even though I compiled dovecot with sqlite support and 'ldd' shows that '../libexec/dict' is linked against sqlite libraries, when I tried this config: acl_shared_dict = sqlite:/private/dovecot/etc/acl-shared-dict.conf I get this, and dovecot fails to start up. EUnknown dict module: sqlite I question whether I can use sqlite for acl_shared_dict. Furthermore, in this vein, I don't really know what the shared namespace should even look like. I've been trying the imap commands LIST and MYRIGHTS to verify access, but there are simply no examples. I'd rather expect this to work: x myrights shared/fromuser/folder but all I get is mailbox doesn't exist. I know 'shared' is the namespace, but I just don't know how it should really be referred to. Personally, I can live without the acl_shared_dict (from what I understand). I don't need to see the shared path for subscription, I'd just manually add the folder path to the .subscriptions file for the handful of users that need it. I just don't think it's working, though. On a related note, I thought I'd increase debugging to see if that helped out any. When I change 'mail_debug' to 'yes', as soon as I issue the imap login command, it logs some stuff, then kicks me out. Jun 09 15:57:53 IMAP(tom2): Info: acl: initializing backend with data: vfile Jun 09 15:57:53 IMAP(tom2): Info: acl: acl username = tom2 Jun 09 15:57:53 IMAP(tom2): Info: acl: owner = 1 Jun 09 15:57:53 dovecot: Error: child 6000 (imap) killed with signal 11 (core dumps disabled) I would assume this error is causing my problems, but for all I know, it could be a side-effect of verbose debugging -- to just terminate. I see nothing about that in the docs, though. imap works fine without verbose logging, so I'm baffled. I have been frustrated by the shared namespace documentation. I've been through it again and again, but haven't found the answers I've been looking for. Here is the relevant configuration: namespace shared { location = mbox:%%h/mail/shared:INDEX=%%h/mail/shared/.imap # everything else defaults } protocol imap { mail_plugins = quota imap_quota acl imap_acl } protocol lda { mail_plugins = acl } plugin { acl = vfile acl_shared_dict = file:/private/dovecot/var/etc/shared-list/shared-mailboxes-%u }

[Dovecot] Question about directory hashing
by Javier de Miguel Rodríguez 11 Jun '10

11 Jun '10

Hello I have been reading http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailLocation and http://wiki.dovecot.org/Variables and I do not fully understand the directory hashing feature. I want to migrate > 70.000 users from Sun Messaging to Dovecot using imapsync. I have tested with mail_location=maildir:/buzones/us.es/%1Hu/%2.1u/%n but I get the following directory tree: `-- 0 |-- - |-- 1 |-- 2 |-- 3 |-- 8 |-- _ |-- a |-- ab |-- b |-- c |-- d |-- e |-- ev |-- f |-- g |-- h |-- i |-- ie |-- is |-- j |-- jb |-- jj |-- jp |-- js |-- k |-- l |-- m |-- mb |-- n |-- o |-- p |-- pp |-- q |-- r |-- rm |-- s |-- t |-- u |-- v |-- w |-- x |-- y `-- z The ideal directory layout should be the following: First directory level: Letters from a to z Second directory level: Numbers from 0 to 200 Third directory level: %n (username without @domain) How can I achive this directory layout (or other optimized for 70.000 users) . I use ext3 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 with directory indexes on. Regards Javier de Miguel

[Dovecot] Evolution and Thunderbird do different things?
by Phil Howard 10 Jun '10

10 Jun '10

I'm trying both Evolution and Thunderbird on my IMAP server, and find that there are differences in how some things are done, between clients. Shouldn't there have been a standard way to do these things in the IMAP protocol? The first thing I noticed is that when deleting email from one client, it puts a "T" on the file name, leaving it where it is, and from the other client, it moves the mail to a ".Trash" directory on the server (and created a 2nd "Trash" folder ... so now I have 2 "Trash" folders, one with some deleted mail in it, and the other with some deleted mail in it). I'm not saying Dovecot has a problem here. But maybe IMAP the protocol does for not having a standard way to do things, and these clients, for not doing it the same way (if there is some standard somewhere). Any IMAP experts here know what the story is with this?

[Dovecot] Problem with LDAP query
by Aleix Dorca 10 Jun '10

10 Jun '10

Hi people, first message to this list. I've a problem with dovecot 1.0.15 (debian latest package) and an LDAP query. The situation is the following. My LDAP users have multiple mail addresses (field 'mail') and mail should be able to be sent to any of these and the mail should always end on the user's mailbox. This is not working for me now. My dovecot-ldap.conf relevant config shows: user-attrs = uid=user user_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(|(uid=%n)(mail=%u))) This correctly detects multiple addresses but mail always end in folder (from dovecot.conf): mail_location = maildir:/home/vmail/%n/Maildir So if user@domain gets a mail it ends in /home/vmail/user/Maildir but if the same user gets an email to user-alt@domain it ends in /home/vmail/user-alt/Maildir instead of /home/vmail/user/Maildir. I've been debugging and I get this on my mail.log file: Jun 10 12:41:29 horologium deliver(user-alt@domain): auth input: user-alt@domain Jun 10 12:41:29 horologium deliver(user-alt@domain): auth input: user=user Jun 10 12:41:29 horologium deliver(user-alt@domain): auth input: uid=5000 Jun 10 12:41:29 horologium deliver(user-alt@domain): auth input: gid=5000 Jun 10 12:41:29 horologium deliver(user-alt@domain): maildir: data=/home/vmail/user-alt/Maildir Jun 10 12:41:29 horologium deliver(user-alt@domain): maildir: root=/home/vmail/user-alt/Maildir, index=/home/vmail/user-alt/Maildir, control=, inbox= Since I'm in version 1.0.15 can't use the mailLocation with the $ substitution.

[Dovecot] converting from vm-pop3d
by Tim Uckun 09 Jun '10

09 Jun '10

Hello All. I am looking into an old server which is running vm-pop3d. This server is having problems because the pop3 server is taking up 100% of the CPU. I looked at the largest mailboxes and there are a handful over 20 megs in size, the largest one is 55megs, they are all mbox format (I think). I have been looking at the wiki and it looks like there is a perl script to make the mailboxes behave. There are also other scripts that try and convert mbox to maildir formats and from what I can gather dovecot can do this as well. Finally the dovecot in the fedora repos is 1.0.X and I notice that the latest in 1.2.X is there a more up to date dovecot RPM repo? I would appreciate any advice anybody can give me on how to proceed with this transition. Thank you in advance.

[Dovecot] Migration from Courier to Dovecot: is it recommended to "force" d.index* creation?
by Sandro Tosi 08 Jun '10

08 Jun '10

Hello, we are planning to migrate from Courier to Dovecot. We already know courier-dovecot-migrate.pl, that will convert UID list and subscriptions files to dovecot format, and we will run it in batch on all Maildir + enable it at login, once we do the switch But we are also wondering it it might be wise to "force" the creation of dovecot.index{,.cache} files at conversion-time. It seems that, at least, d.i.c is created at FETCH of a mail, i.e. reading it, but we do not want to "alter" mails status of our clients. Is there a way to create them in batch, or is it better to just let them be created once clients start accessing their mailboxes via dovecot? Thanks in advance, Sandro
