[Dovecot] Two server certificates for two common names
by Δημήτριος Καραπιπέ ρης 27 Aug '09

27 Aug '09

Hi there! I have two DNS records mail1.domain.tld mail2.domain.tld I have issued SSL server Certificates for both my domain names. Is it possible to tell dovecot to use both , depending on client access; clients using the mail1.domain.tld be served by the mail1.domain.tld .key and .cert and those using mail2.domain.tld be served by the mail2.domain.tld .key and .cert Thanks in advance Dimitrios

[Dovecot] Authentication failed, failure to login after changed password
by linuxvinit 27 Aug '09

27 Aug '09

I have installed dovecot 1.0 mail server on debian linux. I am using unix authentication to login the mail accounts. We developed one web mail application whcih use imap protocol and send mail fro sending the mail. We are creating unix user through our application and able to login to the mail account succesfully and do all opeartion on that. But once user change password through our application or directly on unix commaqnd prompt then we are unable to login to mail application it gives authentication failed error. Even user can use ssh, sftp after changing password. Everything works except mail account. Here is the error excerpt from log files (mail.log and auth.log ) respectively. Aug 26 10:58:37 digibeanz dovecot: imap-login: Aborted login (1 authentication attempts): user=<child2>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, TLS Aug 26 12:22:00 digibeanz dovecot-auth: pam_unix(dovecot:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=dovecot ruser=child2 rhost=127.0.0.1 user=child2 Please help me.

[Dovecot] Weird mirgration problem
by Stewart Dean 27 Aug '09

27 Aug '09

Most likely non-Dovecot, but I'd appreciate any comments on WTF might be going on here. Preparatory to migration from mbox to maildir format on our AIX mail server, I am migrating from the JFS filesystem (being deprecated by IBM) to JFS2 to better handling the jump in the number of files. Two nights ago, I took the first step and migrated the IT homedir filesystem: copied it to a scratch disk, melted down the FS and recreated it as a JFS2 FS. In order to keep changes from happening to it during this process, I killed off DC (dovecot -n ouput is appended to bottom of this note) and dropped the export of the FS. The bringup was a little ragged due to time constraints and the fact that I had trouble re-establishing the export. FWIW, the homedirs and Inobx FSes are mounted by a majordomo mailing list server. Everything went fine except for an anomaly with old pre-existing mailing list emails in my INBOX and that of a few others. Note that the inbox FS wasn't touched by this process, just the homedir FS for the IT department. What happened there was that the mbox headers went from looking like this: From owner-hcrcstaff Mon Aug 24 14:53:29 2009 >From majordom Mon Aug 24 14:53:29 2009 the rest of the normal header here To looking like this: From owner-hcrcstaff Mon Aug 24 14:53:29 2009 Status: RO X-UID: 871476 Content-Length: 1915 >From majordom Mon Aug 24 14:53:29 2009 normal header lines here It appears that the Status, X-UID and Content-Length lines were inserted just under the top line of the header in every old mailing list mailing email header...and not in any other mailing As a result of this, = these emails appear in the email client's TOC listing with blank Sender and Subject fields, even though the data for that is properly in the header further down = This happens both in TBird and Horde webmail. = All these emails (some 300, going back to 2008) are listed in one block, in proper order for their actual date, as having the datestamp of 5AM, when I was bringing everything back up. Unfortunately, because of time pressures, I can say exactly what I was doing then. = I never took down my TBird session while doing this process...and I imagine that others, who haven't said anything and presumably didn't have this problem, left their TBird or IMAP email client up... Does this anomaly bring to mind anything to you? FWIW, I plan on doing the students' homedir FS early tomorrow morning. This time I'll be more scrupulous about tracking things AND I will take down the mailing list and login servers to remove the possibility that they had something to do with this... dovecot -n output # 1.1.15: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf # OS: AIX 3 0001378F4C00 listen: *:143 ssl_listen: *:993 disable_plaintext_auth: no verbose_ssl: yes login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_processes_count: 12 login_max_processes_count: 774 max_mail_processes: 1024 verbose_proctitle: yes first_valid_uid: 200 mail_location: mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u:INDEX=/var/dcindx/%u mbox_write_locks: fcntl mbox_dirty_syncs: no auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd -- ==== Once upon a time, the Internet was a friendly, neighbors-helping-neighbors small town, and no one locked their doors.

[Dovecot] fchown() failed
by Arthur Dent 26 Aug '09

26 Aug '09

Hello all, I'm not sure if this question is better posed to a Fedora group because I have only had this problem since I upgraded from F9 to F11, but I figured that the specialised knowledge here might help me more... I have been getting these entries in syslog since upgrading. Today for instance I got: **Unmatched Entries** dovecot: Dovecot v1.2.0 starting up (core dumps disabled): 1 Time(s) dovecot: IMAP(mark): fchown() failed with file /home/mark/Mail/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.log.newlock: Operation not permitted: 1 Time(s) dovecot: IMAP(mark): fchown() failed with file /home/mark/Mail/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.tmp: Operation not permitted: 1 Time(s) and yesterday I had: **Unmatched Entries** dovecot: IMAP(helena): fchown() failed with file /home/wife/mail/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.tmp: Operation not permitted: 1 Time(s) dovecot: IMAP(toby): fchown() failed with file /home/son/mail/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.cache.lock: Operation not permitted: 1 Time(s) dovecot: IMAP(toby): fchown() failed with file /home/son/mail/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.log.newlock: Operation not permitted: 1 Time(s) dovecot: IMAP(toby): fchown() failed with file /home/son/mail/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.tmp: Operation not permitted: 3 Time(s) The permissions are as follows: ls -la /home/mark/Mail/.imap/INBOX/ total 328 drwx------. 2 mark mark 4096 2009-08-18 15:32 . drwx------. 84 mark mark 4096 2009-03-05 21:53 .. -rw-------. 1 mark mark 7472 2009-08-18 15:32 dovecot.index -rw-------. 1 mark mark 286720 2009-08-19 11:46 dovecot.index.cache -rw-------. 1 mark mark 5380 2009-08-19 12:43 dovecot.index.log Those of wife and son are similar. As I access my mailbox several times a day (and certainly did yesterday) from several different mail clients I am surprised that the error count is only 1 for most the above entries. Is this being caused by some sort of cron job (logrotate perhaps)? Any ideas? All help / suggestions gratefully received... Thanks Mark

[Dovecot] Load spikes on NFS server, multiple index updaters.
by Jorgen Lundman 26 Aug '09

26 Aug '09

We are occasionally experiencing trouble where the NFS server's load will shoot over 60+. (Normal of sub 1.0). I have been hunting this for a while, and I believe it comes down to "deliver". System setup: NFS servers: x4540 Solaris 10 x64 ZFS over NFS. NFS clients: Solaris 10 x64 postfix-2.4.1 with dovecot-1.1.11 deliver. What appears to happen, when I check for nfsstat per process, is that I see 4 processes (in this case on vmx04) taking up majority of NFS ops: root@vmx04:/var/tmp# ./nfsclientstats.pl process read write readdir getattr setattr lookup access create remove rename mkdir rmdir 24303 0 0 1 19 0 190 171 0 0 0 0 0 24551 0 0 1 18 0 180 162 0 0 0 0 0 26099 0 0 1 18 0 180 162 0 0 0 0 0 295 0 0 1 18 0 180 162 0 0 0 0 0 6793 3 0 0 0 0 5 5 0 0 0 0 0 7234 0 1 0 2 0 9 9 0 1 0 0 0 Checking what these processes are doing, I find the following happening: 26099: getdents64(8, 0xCE7A4000, 8192) = 8136 26099: stat64("/export/censored/mail/cur/1223013930.V4700010I69f93eM483098.vmx02.unix:2,S", 0x08047930) = 0 26099: stat64("/export/censored/mail/cur/1222066290.V4700007I67562bM241839.vmx04.unix:2,S", 0x08047930) = 0 26099: stat64("/export/censored/mail/cur/1225325373.V4700008I94a1f9M286935.vmx04.unix:2,S", 0x08047930) = 0 26099: stat64("/export/censored/mail/cur/1236170307.V4700002I67ca03M310418.vmx06.unix:2,", 0x08047930) = 0 26099: stat64("/export/censored/mail/cur/1223581462.V4700011I69ffd6M720814.vmx02.unix:2,S", 0x08047930) = 0 Very well, so it is rebuilding the dovecot.index, or recalculating the user's quota usage. Is the directory large? root@vmx04# ls -l /export/censored/mail/cur/|wc -l 199626 You bet! But what is annoying is that if I also check process 24303, 24551 and 295, they are scanning the SAME user's directory. 295: stat64("/export/censored/mail/cur/1230544947.V4700004I11d1d7fM492433.vmx04.unix:2,S", 0x08047930) = 0 295: stat64("/export/censored/mail/cur/1223003964.V4700007I68932dM763546.vmx04.unix:2,S", 0x08047930) = 0 So, in vmx04 we have 4 processes working in one user's giant directory, and on the other vmx clients, many more. Could the semantics to 're-computing dovecot.index' be done such that the first "deliver" process locks it to do the work, and sub-sequent deliver processes will return temporary failures, until the work has finished. Has it been already addresses in dovecot-1.1.18? Advice please.

[Dovecot] scalability and arhive ideas
by fernando＠dfcom.com.br 25 Aug '09

25 Aug '09

Hi, I´m reading the past topics related to archive and scalability of dovecot, they are all very interesting. Here, I´m using two dovecot proxies in front of five storages pairs, and we split the domain´s accounts among those servers. So, we can share the i/o load and if one server goes down only few accounts of the domain stops (not all of them). But, we began to have space problems - and the solution would be insert more and more storage servers. So I was searching for some archive solutions (hard links - at S.O level, or some dovecot extension). A friend told me that he knows an ISP that share even the mailbox of the users among many servers - this is very weird and (at same time) very interesting approach. Instead of put all messages into one maildir and this maildir into one server, this "maildir" (?) is spplited among many servers - so, if one servers fails the account is still acessible and they move old/big messages to a new "cheap" storage - archiving transparently. Well, maybe it´s an stupid idea, but couldn´t dovecot imap/pop proxy do the same ? I mean, imagine the following scenario: 1- Proxy does an user account sql - today the return is (among other data), the final server IP, but it could be the storage servers for this account 2- Proxy does parallel connections (instead of today´s one connection with the final server). Retrieve the messages and caches locally where the message is. If the cache is lost, no problem, it just connects again and re-cache them. 3- When a message is deleted/flagged, etc - it has the cache (allowing it to know where send the command to), when a message inserted (as sent folder) - the system can have the 'default storage' where the messages are delivered and saved to - the other storages are just for archiving (or even a round-robin delivery !? - hard to control). Problems: 1- Have the cache at proxy level. 2- Quota calculation (how the delivery process can check this ?) 3- Maybe mixing proxy connection and this new approach is not easy way. 4- the more servers, the more time waiting their answers (imagine one of them answering slowly). Advantages: 1- No local mounts at storage level - (as nfs and other network mounted partitions). 2- Servers independency - if space is at a critical value, insert a pair of servers, move messages there, insert the servers in the sql answer (server1, server2, server3, ... , serverN). 3- Scalability - the more servers, the more i/o load you can share. Well, sorry for the long post...but I hope to collaborate with some ideas (even if they are stupid :( ) Regards, Fernando Bertasso Figaro

[Dovecot] dovecot-auth failed: Not enough space

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear all, I've been trying to get a Dovecot IMAP service running under HP-UX 11.23, IA64. The system has 6GB of spare space under /var and at least the same amount of RAM free at the current time. I've compiled from the latest source (1.2.4), using the following options: # CC="/opt/aCC/bin/aCC" ./configure --prefix=/opt/dovecot ... usual make && make install My config file follows at the end.

Hi! Sorry by my english. Set Postfix + dovecot + AD + ldap, everything works well, but appears in the logs, every 15 minutes: auth(default): Error: LDAP: Connection lost to LDAP server, reconnecting Standart limit ldap connect to AD 15 minutes. Can somehow fix this problem without increasing the time of connection to the AD?

[Dovecot] Aborted: Worker is buggy

A simple 'killall dovecot-auth' takes care of it and the server is able to start. I'm not using anything exotic, dovecot config below. The most curious fact is that we have identical servers running the same version of dovecot (1.2.3, happened under 1.2.1 as well) talking to the same MySQL database and both develop the problem at the same time. The database is under considerable stress at the time this occurs as the policyd tables are being cleaned. But this happens twice per hour and only sometimes does dovecot have trouble. I'm working to move the policyd database elsewhere, but of course this shouldn't happen in any case. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

[Dovecot] Per user namespace
by Ashley M. Kirchner 25 Aug '09

25 Aug '09

I'm in the process of upgrading an old server which is running uw-imap to a new one running Dovecot. With the old machine, unfortunately, my users had the opportunity to store their e-mails in various locations. For example, some have their mail boxes stored in ~/mail/[various mbox files], others ALSO have a ~/mail/clients/[various mbox files] and yet others simply stored them in their ~/ path (thanks to the old IMAP). Is there a way to create per-user namespaces? I don't want to create a "mail/", "mail/clients/", etc., etc. global name space that will end up showing up on everyone's mail client, nor do I want to individually change each user's setup (and rewrite their .subscriptions file). Any solutions here, or am I SOL? AMK4 -- W | It's not a bug - it's an undocumented feature. +-------------------------------------------------------------------- Ashley M.

Re: [Dovecot] Dovecot and LDAP-Quotas

Hi Timo, thank you for your reply. I take the configuration from http://www.linuxmail.info/postfix-dovecot-ldap-centos-5/ especially the dovecot-configuration for passdb and userdb. As you mentioned in your reply I added the userdb ldap with a symbolic link on the original dovecot-ldap.conf: userdb: driver: ldap args: /etc/dovecot-ldap-userdb.conf but with no success. Any hints? I have another question: Does Dovecot expect a special "field type" for the ldap quota field (for ex. integer)?

[Dovecot] Dovecot LDA
by Wouter van der Schagt 24 Aug '09

24 Aug '09

Good morning, Still not having luck to get the LDA to work, using Qmail + Vpopmail and read the wiki. I'm using: auth default { mechanisms = plain passdb vpopmail { } userdb vpopmail { } user = vpopmail count = 1 ssl_require_client_cert = no } Which work well for authenticating users, however when using the following in a .qmail file: |/var/qmail/bin/preline -f /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d $EXT@$USER I get the following error message: Error:_userdb_lookup:_connect(/usr/local/var/run/dovecot//auth-master)_failed:_No_such_file_or_directory/ Eventhough it should have been created (I think) in the protocol lda section of the config file. I specifieD: auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master However I thought since using vpopmail I don't need to use the auth-master ? or am I missing something? Sincerely, - Wouter van der Schagt

Hi List I use dovecot with LDA deliver, have quotas for my users use postfix as MTA server. as it could limit or refuse delivery of mail once the user has exceeded the limit of the quota? As in my configuration could define multiple LDAP servers? I have two servers with Active Directory, a PDC and a BDC, but I would specify both in the same configuration. for when the ldap server 1 has problems, authenticating against Ldap 2 . Thanks Michel

[Dovecot] Problems with dovecot/sendmail combi.
by Roger Berger 24 Aug '09

24 Aug '09

Hi, I am really stuck here. I am trying to setup imap for an external mail server. I have a freebsd server running sendmail / dovecot. I am transfering the existing mail from an exchange 2003 server to the mailserver using imapsync. This works fine, but gives errors when it tries to make a submap, also thunderbird gives an error "Mailbox doesn't allow inferior mailboxes" when I try to make a submap. I found out that it has something to do with the mbox not able to have submaps and there should be a workaround using namespaces. I tried several setups but keep getting errors. Does anybody know how to configure namespaces to allow submaps? dovecot -n # 1.2.3: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf # OS: FreeBSD 6.4-STABLE i386 log_path: /var/log/dovecot.log protocols: imap imaps pop3 pop3s disable_plaintext_auth: no verbose_ssl: yes login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login login_process_per_connection: no login_processes_count: 4 verbose_proctitle: yes first_valid_gid: 0 mail_access_groups: mail mail_location: mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u mail_debug: yes mail_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3 imap_client_workarounds(default): delay-newmail outlook-idle netscape-eoh tb-extra-mailbox-sep imap_client_workarounds(imap): delay-newmail outlook-idle netscape-eoh tb-extra-mailbox-sep imap_client_workarounds(pop3): pop3_client_workarounds(default): pop3_client_workarounds(imap): pop3_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh namespace: type: private separator: / prefix: #mbox/ location: mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u inbox: yes list: yes subscriptions: yes namespace: type: private separator: / location: maildir:~/mail list: yes subscriptions: yes lda: postmaster_address: postmaster(a)example.com sendmail_path: /usr/sbin/sendmail auth default: verbose: yes debug: yes debug_passwords: yes passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd mbox is in /var/mail/%u and home dir is in /home/mailusers/%u

[Dovecot] sieve vacation response
by Jure Pečar 24 Aug '09

24 Aug '09

Hello, we're implementing a dovecot 1.2.1 with sieve 0.1.7 and managesieve 0.11.7. We're having problems with creating sieve scripts so that vacation works. Our script looks like this: require ["fileinto", "vacation"]; if address :matches ["To", "Cc"] "*someone(a)example.com*" { if not header :matches "X-Spam-Status" "Yes*" { vacation :days 1 :subject "test" "autoresponder test."; keep; } } And when sent and delivered to someone(a)example.com, we get this in the log: dovecot: deliver(username): sieve: msgid=<...>: discarding vacation response for message implicitly delivered to <username(a)fqdn.hostname.com> Our final recipients are in the form of username(a)fqdn.hostname.com; it looks like this is being matched in sieve as address. But we want to match against original recipient address, not address after alias expansion. Any ideas? -- Jure Pečar http://jure.pecar.org http://f5j.eu

Hello, all. I'm using Dovecot 1.0.15 on our internal mail server and I'm seeing a high load from one of our users. This user uses Thunderbird (with the IMAP protocol) and the load average of the server goes through the roof every once in a while. I'ld like to understand why we're seeing this and whether the blame should be put on Thunderbird or on Dovecot. Has anyone ever seen this before? Emmanuel

[Dovecot] SOT: Removing _extra_ linefeeds from MSOutlook(?) messages
by Roderick A. Anderson 24 Aug '09

24 Aug '09

I realize this is sorta off topic but my searches using Google have got me mostly no where. So I thought I'd ask here as there is a lot of _past Postfix_ mail handling issues discussed. The issue is; I have to deal with a lot of messages that come from MS Outlook users and sometimes they are replies to replies to replies ... My reading indicates it has a little to do with HTML composed messages and the format=flowed declaration. This produces messages with *lot* of extra line feeds. Makes the messages nearly unreadable -- in Thunderbird. I'm sure others have got two line (sentence) messages that took 6+ lines to display. Then when they are replies or forwards it is even more. Every line gets two NLs/CRLFs. Anyone have a suggestion of how to _strip_ multiple line feeds from a message? Is there a sieve method/way? I don't want to fiddle with all the users emails just my own. Pointers, ideas, clues? \\||/ Rod --

[Dovecot] critical X-UID reordering problem after upgrade from 1.1 to 1.2
by robh＠cs.indiana.edu 23 Aug '09

23 Aug '09

We upgraded our imap server hardware and went from dovecot 1.1.3 to 1.2.3 in the process and have been having a critical problem since. I believe I've tracked it down to X-UID reordering that dovecot seemed to do to the mbox format (I know, I know...) inboxes. The problem has manifest itself in several ways with different mail clients but the general problem is that the mail clients have gotten confused about which message is which. For example, thunderbird will display the wrong information about a message in the header listing but then show the correct data in the message display window when you actually open the message. As you can imagine, this is causing all kinds of user problems. Here is a very simplified explanation of what I'm seeing. Imagine that the inbox had 5 messages with X-UID values 1, 3, 5, 6, and 9 before the upgrade. After the upgrade the X-UIDs were reordered so these same 5 messages now might have X-UID values of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Thunderbird then shows the summary information like this: Subject/Sender/Date for message 1 Subject/Sender/Date for message 2 Subject/Sender/Date for message 2 Subject/Sender/Date for message 4 Subject/Sender/Date for message 3 Now, if you actually open the 5th message it shows the right message body but the summary information is for the message that *used* to have X-UID 5 (which is now the 3rd message). So, the thunderbird cache is out of sync and I can fix it by removing the .msf file for that mailbox but, as you can imagine, the prospect of getting all the users to remove their .msf/.pst/?? cache files is daunting, to say the least. I've seen discussions about similar things happening with mbox format inboxes but they all seem to be in the context of some ancient 0.xx version of dovecot with known mbox processing bugs. But, I went from a reasonably current 1.1.3 version to 1.2.3. Right after seeing the problem, I upgraded to the just released 1.2.4 but either that didn't address the problem or, if it did, the reordering damage was already done by version 1.2.3. So, my 2 questions are: 1) Anyone know why this would have happened and whether it is a dovecot problem or something I botched? I folded all the local config changes I had made to the 1.1.3 conf file into the stock 1.2.3 conf file so they should have been identical modulo changes in the distro. And, our local config changes are really minimal. 2) Is there anything I can do now other than getting all the users to remove their .msf/.pst/etc files? It sure would be grand if there was something I could do on the server side that would magically cause all the client-side caches to be invalidated. I'm hesitant to strip the inboxes of all the X-IMAPbase and X-UID lines because I'm not sure what the ramifications of that might be. Here are some other random thoughts in case they might be related: - The old server was running 32bit RHEL4 and the new one 64bit RHEL5 - I'm using the pre-built dovecot rpms from atrpms.net - The dovecot index cache is kept in /var/cache/dovecot/indexes and I did not copy that over from the old server to the new assuming it would just be rebuilt.

[Dovecot] Released Sieve v0.1.12 and ManageSieve v0.11.9 for Dovecot v1.2.4
by Stephan Bosch 21 Aug '09

21 Aug '09

Hello Dovecot users, I finally managed to make new releases of Sieve and ManageSieve for the recent Dovecot v1.2.4 release. The ManageSieve release is important to match login proxy API changes in Dovecot; older versions will not compile against the new Dovecot release. The new Sieve release first includes the new date extension, which allows matching against date values in header fields and the current date-time at script execution. Changelog Sieve v0.1.12: + Testsuite: added support for testing binaries stored on disk. + Implemented the new date extension. This allows matching against date values in header fields and the current date at the time of script evaluation. Changelog ManageSieve v0.11.9: * Adjusted to changes in the Dovecot login proxy API. This release therefore depends on Dovecot v1.2.4. + Reintroduced ability to abort SASL with "*" response. Latest ManageSieve specification includes it. The releases are available as follows: Sieve: http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2-sieve-0.1.12.tar.gz http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2-sieve-0.1.12.tar.gz.sig ManageSieve (package + patch): http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2-managesieve-0.11.9.tar.gz http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2-managesieve-0.11.9.tar.gz.s… http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2.4-managesieve-0.11.9.diff.gz http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2.4-managesieve-0.11.9.diff.g… Have fun testing the new releases and don't hesitate to notify me when there are problems.

[Dovecot] dovecot-1.2.4, sendmail,deliver,sieve
by Jonathan Siegle 20 Aug '09

20 Aug '09

I'm trying to setup deliver as an LDA for system users. I've read http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sendmail which handles virtual users. I don't see a README for what I need. I want sendmail to accept the mail and then hand off to deliver with sieve plugin. Deliver should look in the users home directory which is found in /etc/passwd for the sieve-script to see what to do with it. If the sieve-script DNE, then just deliver to INBOX(from dovecot.conf). Any help would be appreciated.

[Dovecot] Oops!
by Daniel L. Miller 20 Aug '09

20 Aug '09

I was testing a new webmail client - like an idiot, against my own mailbox, instead of a test mailbox (or even a separate server) - and my Inbox got wiped. Fortunately I backup our mails nightly, so I only lost a couple from today. No idea how the wipe occured - I didn't INTENTIONALLY perform a delete + purge...but it happened. Is there a way of configuring Dovecot to ensure that any delete operation specified by a client results in a "move to Trash" as a precaution? Instead of relying on the client to perform it? -- Daniel

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/dovecot-1.2.4.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/dovecot-1.2.4.tar.gz.sig I'll be on vacation for the rest of this week. I'll read my mails once in a while though. * acl: When looking up ACL defaults, use global/local default files if they exist. So it's now possible to set default ACLs by creating dovecot-acl file to the mail root directory. + imap/pop3 proxy: If proxy destination is known to be down, fail connections to it immediately. + imap/pop3 proxy: Added proxy_timeout passdb extra field to specify proxy's connect timeout. - Fixed a crash in index file handling. - Fixed a crash in saving messages where message contained a CR character that wasn't followed by LF (and the CR happened to be the last character in an internal buffer). - v1.2.3 crashed when listing shared namespace prefix. - listescape plugin: Several fixes. - autocreate plugin: Fixed autosubscribing to mailboxes in subscriptions=no namespaces.

[Dovecot] dovecot/sieve current date
by bart 19 Aug '09

19 Aug '09

Hi, Is there a way in sieve to get the current date, preferably in YYYYMMDD format? To what I've found it's hard to achieve. I have tried including a :global sieve script in which I would set the current date to a certain variable and overwrite this included script every day. But to my disappointement variables set in an included script do not exist in the original script... In fact what I want to achieve is that some actions like forwarding or vacation messages are performed from a certain date untill another date. Which would allow a user to define a timeperiod in which the autoreply or forward should be done and automatically stop without updating the sieve script again. Comparing start and stopdate is cake, but just getting today's date seems to be a hassle, any ideas? regards, bart

[Dovecot] Restoring backup?
by Bjørn T Johansen 18 Aug '09

I have understood correctly when thinking that all I need to do in order to restore mails, is to just copy the old maildir folder to the location where mail_location is pointing to and dovecot will find all the mails and display the old mails?

[Dovecot] alias does not work
by denis 18 Aug '09

18 Aug '09

Hi, Thank you to everyone who helped me get near the goal. Remains a problem is that aliases don't work. The problem is that in the configuration of alternc, the mails are seen as aliases in the form user_domain.tld. In a second time, a match is made to see if an "real" alias exists. postmap -q test(a)lists.test.net mysql:/etc/postfix/mydomain.cf test-owner_lists.collectifs.net postmap -q test-owner_lists.test.net mysql:/etc/postfix/myalias.cf "| /var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman owner test" With my configuration, this second part doesn't work. Perhaps the simplest is to ask to deliver the mail to user_domain.tld except of user(a)domain.tld in master.cf ? Thanks Denis # main.cf virtual_alias_maps = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/myalias.cf, hash:/etc/aliases virtual_mailbox_domains = mysql:/etc/postfix/mydomain.cf virtual_mailbox_maps = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/myvirtual.cf virtual_transport = dovecot dovecot_destination_recipient_limit = 1 # master.cf dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=www-data:www-data argv=/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -d $(recipient)

[Dovecot] Gotchas in switching from one server to another without impacting users?
by Gary Chodos 18 Aug '09

18 Aug '09

We have to replace one mail store (foo.example.org) with another (bar.example.org) I rsync'd the maildirs from foo to bar today and the plan is to hold all delivery (in the SMTP server) on foo over the weekend, rsync again (this time it should be much faster since the large xfer already occurred today), then flush the SMTP queue on foo towards bar, direct all new deliveries to bar.example.org. Users currently access their IMAP mailboxes via imap.example.org. I plan to just 'flip the switch' at DNS so imap.example.org points to bar.example.org (instead of foo.example.org) so users don't have to change anything on their end and should not even notice this change. Is there anything else I should think about to mitigate users noticing a change? Does the fact that the mail filenames include 'foo.example.org' in the file name (while new deliveries to bar.example.org will include that new hostname) spell trouble later on or can I ignore it? Is there a more efficient way to achieve my goal? And finally, dovecot on foo.example.org is 1.1.7 while the new server is running 1.1.16. I don't think that should be an issue, but mentioning it just in case. Thanks! -- GC

[Dovecot] Public namespaces with global ACLs 1.2+
by Thomas Leuxner 18 Aug '09

18 Aug '09

Hi, I'm having trouble to get ACLs working in a more restrictive way with namespaces. I would like to grant certain users the ability to create new mailboxes in a public namespace e.g. "Public/Newsletters" etc. It works when I add the users to a ".DEFAULT" ACL file like this: user=username lrwk Anyway I'd like to limit their permissions on the Namespace "Public", or even better - being more restrictive, on "Public/Newsletters". Neither global ACL files for "Public" nor "Newsletters" nested in the global path seem to work. For now only the .DEFAULT ACL (/var/vmail/ domain/etc/acls/.DEFAULT) seems to mitigate the problem which is undesirable. dovecot -n excerpt: plugin: acl: vfile:/var/vmail/%d/etc/acls:cache_secs=300 Thanks Thomas

[Dovecot] Dovecot and LDAP-Quotas
by south africa 17 Aug '09

17 Aug '09

Hi all, I have configured Dovecot as a POP/IMAP-Server in front of a Postfix-Server. Every thing works without one thing: LDAP-quotas The main-quota-rule works: quota_rule: *:storage=8M Only the LDAP-quota won't be used by Dovecot: user_attrs = msRADIUSFramedIPAddress=quota_rule=*:storage=%$k I have to use the special LDAP-field "msRADIUSFramedIPAddress" because my W2003 domain controller don't have a regular quota field. This LDAP-field is the only "free integer" LDAP-field. Could anyone please give me a hint?

[Dovecot] BUG: mbox_snarf causes message duplication when two IMAP connections are open
by Robert Lazzurs 17 Aug '09

17 Aug '09

Hello, I have used dovecot to replace an ageing wu-imap installation using the mbox_snarf plugin however I have noticed that when we have more than one client checking the INBOX we then have messages being duplicated in the INBOX. Below is the configuration used as requested in the bug report page. I have confirmed that the duplicates are being caused by dovecot by doing an strace of both processes that have both the INBOX (/mail_home/$username/INBOX) and mail spool file (/var/spool/dovecot/$username) open and delivering a new message through exim to the mail spool file in /var/spool/dovecot/$username. I then see in strace first one process check the spool and copy the message over and then the other processes do the same. If anyone requires any further information to confirm this bug please let me know. Kind regards.

[Dovecot] More Migration Questions
by Richard Hobbs 17 Aug '09

17 Aug '09

Hello, I was on here a month or two ago asking lots of questions about migrating from uw-imapd/qpopper/mbox to dovecot/maildir. I am now at the stage where i'm trying to convert all my emails, but i have a few questions... Where should i convert my mbox mailboxes into? "/home/username/Maildir/" or "/somewhere/maildirs/"? Does it actually matter? Is there a standard location that they *should* go? I've tried converting them into "/somewhere/maildirs/username/", but then i found a dovecot page that says they are usually stored in "/home/username/Maildir" so now i don't know where to put them! Also, having converted the mbox files into maildir files, i do seem to have one email per file, as intended, but the files have names like "1250253965.000586.mbox,S=8167,W=8427:2,S". Should they have the word "mbox" in their filename if they are maildir files? Finally, it appears that our existing IMAP users (all mbox) have mailboxes stored simply in their home directory, not necessarily inside the "~/mail/" directory - is this going to be a problem? The command i'm using to convert is this one: ./migrateuser.sh username /home/username /vol2/maildirs/username This script (and the latest mb2md.py that goes with it, to preserve msg IDs) were obtained from here: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration/MailFormat The stage i'm at with the server overall is that uw-imapd and qpopper have been completely removed, exim is currently setup to deliver via it's own method into the mbox files in /var/spool/mail but the exim service is stopped because i'm migrating, and dovecot 1.1 is installed but stopped, and has had no configuration done to it yet whatsoever. So... any advice? Thanks in advance!

[Dovecot] Crash in v1.2.3: istream.c: assertion failed on line 99

[Dovecot] How to disable system users from receiving mail?
by Paul H Park 17 Aug '09

17 Aug '09

I know that login can be disable for system users and groups, but how do I refuse email for system groups? It's a bit of a security/maintenance irritation - I don't want to check for such spam mail, since that is possible. Thanks for any help!! Answer preferably given, so that I can configure it through webmin please.

[Dovecot] can't deliver with Kerberos username
by Nikolay Shopik 16 Aug '09

16 Aug '09

I've been trying to use Kerberos and PLAIN text file for authentication. I've setup deliver in postfix master.cf and make sure correct username are expanded but deliver is always told me "user unknown". I can logon into mailbox using Kerberos w/o problems and can send emails. Looks like Dovecot lookup up passwd files and not finding users which are in Kerberos realm. # 1.0.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf log_path: /var/log/dovecot.log protocols: imap ssl_cert_file: /etc/postfix/new_chained.crt ssl_key_file: /etc/postfix/mail.pem login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_greeting_capability: yes mail_location: maildir:/var/mail/store/%u dotlock_use_excl: yes maildir_copy_with_hardlinks: yes auth default: mechanisms: PLAIN CRAM-MD5 GSSAPI passdb: driver: passwd-file args: /etc/dovecot/passwd userdb: driver: static args: uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/var/mail/store/%u socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 438 user: root group: root plugin: sieve: /var/mail/store/%u/sieve

[Dovecot] Listing shared mailboxes with a domainpart
by Mathias Tausig 16 Aug '09

16 Aug '09

Hy! I am currently configuring a new mailserver using postfix and dovecot 1.2.1. The filesystem strucutre in my spool directory is user1/ user2/ domain/info/ domain/office/ user1 and unser2 are ordinary users mailboxes, the latter two contain the virtual mailboxes for info@domain and office@domain as created by postfix. I want these virtual mailboxes (all of them are in maildir format) to be shared to certain real users. I configured a shared namespace: namespace shared { separator = / prefix = shared/%%d/%%n/ location = maildir:/var/spool/vmaildir/%%d/%%n/ #I tried ths as well # prefix = shared/%%u/ # location = maildir:/var/spool/vmaildir/%%u/ hidden = no subscriptions = no list = yes inbox = no } Then I configured a dictionary to list the folders, as described in the wiki: plugin { acl_shared_dict = proxy::acl } dict { acl = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf } where /etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf holds map { pattern = shared/shared-boxes/user/$to/$from table = virtual_user_shares value_field = dummy fields { from_user = $from to_user = $to } } The database table consists of +-------------+------------+-------+ | from_user | to_user | dummy | +-------------+------------+-------+ | info@domain | user1 | 1 | +-------------+------------+-------+ But when I login as user1 I can neither see nor subscribe to the info@domain mailbox. In the "flat" case (sharing the user2 mailbox to user1), this setup works. I am pretty clueless how to go on. cheers Mathias

[Dovecot] Released Sieve v0.1.10 for Dovecot v1.2.2
by Stephan Bosch 15 Aug '09

15 Aug '09

Hello Dovecot users, In the last week two nasty bugs were found in the new Sieve implementation. Primarily, the include extension did not work when a compiled binary was loaded from disk. This is something that is still not tested by the test suite, giving this bug the opportunity to slip through. Also, the value matching implementation would sometimes cause a assertion failure. Other than that, various small bugs were fixed. On the more positive side, I have implemented support for the new mailbox extension (RFC 5490), which provides the means to test whether a mailbox exists. Also, it adds the :create argument to the fileinto command, which makes sure that the target folder is created before saving is attempted. Of course, this is only useful when deliver is used with the -n option. There wasn't a great need for this extension, but I could use it in the test suite and it was almost trivial to implement. In other news, I have further developed the sieve-filter command line tool. It is getting closer to a usable state, being able to filter a large number of messages in an existing mailbox, but its use is currently still very much discouraged as it tends to be very good at eating mailboxes when the user is less attentive. It needs more command line configuration options, a simulation mode to perform a dry run, and a man page that describes its use and its dangers. Changelog for Sieve v0.1.10: * Changed action execution of fileinto and keep. These changes depend on API additions in Dovecot, making this release depend on Dovecot v1.2.2 or newer. * Further developed the sieve-filter command line tool. This required a few changes to the action execution of the Sieve engine. The tool was successfully tested on folders with a few 100k spam messages. However, the commandline options are still incomplete, a man page is missing and it needs much more testing before I can recommend anyone to use this tool. + Added support for the mailbox extension. This allows checking whether a mailbox exists using the mailboxexists command and it adds the :create argument to the fileinto command to create the mailbox when it is missing. The :create feature is useless unless the Deliver LDA is run with the -n option. + Improved the testsuite with tests for message delivery. Messages stored using keep and fileinto can be fed back into the Sieve engine for verification. This includes testing of applied IMAP flags. + Updated the man pages with the new method of specifying the supported extensions using + and - (for the -x parameter of the sieve tools) + Further developed the deprecated notify extension. A dummy for the denotify command exists, meaning that its use does not cause an error anymore. - Fixed a bug in the derivation of the binary path from the script path. A bare filename would yield a path relative to root. - Fixed a bug in the value matching code. The context data now uses a proper pool in stead of the data stack. Bug reported by Jan Sechser. - Fixed assertion fail in the include extension caused by missing initialization upon binary load. This bug surfaces only for stored binaries. Bug reported by Tom Hendrikx. - Fixed include error message for failed :global include. It mentioned the wrong config parameter. - Fixed broken wiki reference in an error message of the plugin about the 'sieve' setting. - Fixed behavior of fileinto when delivering into a namespace prefix. Previous fix used the wrong storage. The release is available as follows: http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2-sieve-0.1.10.tar.gz http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2-sieve-0.1.10.tar.gz.sig Have fun testing the new releases and don't hesitate to notify me when there are problems. Please include your configuration, the involved Sieve scripts and an example message in any bug or problem report when possible, so that I can easily reproduce the issue. Regards, -- Stephan Bosch stephan(a)rename-it.nl

Re: [Dovecot] Redirecting mail gives 'mail forwarding loop' to the sender - calling for sieve help
by Andrés Yacopino 15 Aug '09

15 Aug '09

Yes, the configuration seems odd or interesting as you said. The idea behind this is: - Before scripts will be use for filtering spam, when they have SPAM header. Not problem at it. - User scripts will be used for vacation messages. These are created with Squirrelmail and avelsize plugin (user interaction) - After scripts will be used for doing redirections, such as forwarding mail to a blackberry account(not problem at it) or forwarding to another user account (in the same domain, the problem is here). The reason not to put the redirections or forwarding in users scripts is to avoid users deleting redirections and have in one file all the redirections. I also try to use redirections from avelsieve plugin (0.9.9.9) and it works the forwarding but it didn't work the keep command, the mail is forwarded but the user doesn't have a copy of it. I will investigate your advice for envelope or try to use user's scripts. I didn't know about original headers, if this in RFC sieve documents? Thanks Timo and thanks Stephan for the tips. Greetings, Andrés. Andrés Yacopino. Dpto Sistemas AcaSalud

[Dovecot] Very long establishment time for secondary connections
by Jeff Mitchell 14 Aug '09

14 Aug '09

Hello, I'm currently on Dovecot 1.1.17 and I have a user that runs into a problem quite a lot. She's using Thunderbird on a Mac. When she sends mail, Thunderbird is set up to save sent mail to her Sent folder. Often (usually when she has not sent another mail for a long while) when she sends mail, Thunderbird sits there saying "Copying message to Sent folder" for about thirty seconds. My best guess, after looking at dovecot messages in syslog related to her login, is that Thunderbird is using a secondary imap process to do this copying and this connection times out due to inactivity, so that when she sends mail it has to reestablish itself. For some reason this reestablishment seems to take a very long time, even though her initial login/connection when she opens Thunderbird is very fast. I looked for a way to increase the inactivity time in dovecot.conf but didn't see one. I don't know of any other user that has this problem, which makes me suspicious of her client rather than Dovecot. Pretty much everyone is using Thunderbird, although she's the only one using it on a Mac. Is it possible/likely that it takes so long because for some reason Thunderbird on a Mac doesn't notice that the second connection has died and is taking a long time trying to use the first invalid connection before reestablishment? Or is it likely that this is a Dovecot problem and I simply haven't figured out what's going on, yet? All help very much appreciated. Thanks, Jeff

[Dovecot] Upgrade question from 1.1 to 1.2
by Wouter van der Schagt 14 Aug '09

14 Aug '09

Good afternoon, I am considering to upgrade from Dovecot 1.1.18 to 1.2.x and was reading your Wiki regarding any changes and found: "If you were using e.g. mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/%h, just change it to mail_location = maildir:%h and add /var/mail/ prefix to home dirs." I am currently using: "mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir" in combination with vpopmail. Does this need to be changed? or is ~/Maildir considered an absolute directory? Is there anything else I should be aware of ? Sincerely, - Wouter van der Schagt

[Dovecot] Dovecot Proxy
by Michel Bulgado 14 Aug '09

14 Aug '09

Hello I have installed Dovecot as a POP3 server, IMAP on my internal network, the authentication against Windows Active Directory. I would like to know how to setup a second server dovecot as my proxy server for external users outside the network, in another segment of different IP addresses, or at least define which mailboxes will be stored on another server to be accessible to both servers. I have reviewed the document on the wiki site, but I said that is only possible with mysql authentication, but as I said the road where the messages are stored, it is possible for NFS? Thanks Michel

[Dovecot] QUOTA not appearing in CAPA
by Tim Traver 14 Aug '09

14 Aug '09

Hi, ok, I've compiled it a few times, and made sure all of my settings are correct, but the QUOTA is not appearing in the opening CAPA that comes with the greeting. I have it configured in the dovecot.conf like so: protocol imap { mail_plugins = quota imap_quota } and I can see when turning debugging on that the following is spit out when starting : Starting DovecotILoading modules from directory: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap IModule loaded: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap/lib10_quota_plugin.so IModule loaded: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap/lib11_imap_quota_plugin.so IEffective uid=65534, gid=65534, home=/tmp IQuota root: name= backend=maildir args= IEffective uid=65534, gid=65534, home=/tmp and then I see the following in the dovecot logs : Aug 10 17:35:10 IMAP(xxxxx(a)simplenet.com): Info: Module loaded: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap/lib10_quota_plugin.so Aug 10 17:35:10 IMAP(xxxxx(a)simplenet.com): Info: Module loaded: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap/lib11_imap_quota_plugin.so when I log into the IMAP port, I get the following greeting : * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN] Dovecot ready. So it seems there is no QUOTA support for the IMAP server to query for the quota file... can someone help me as to a direction to go here??? The reason I need it is because I believe the web client relies on the QUOTA being in the CAPA in order to show it... Thanks, Tim.

[Dovecot] More effective mailbox fetching over high RTT link
by Andrzej Adam Filip 13 Aug '09

13 Aug '09

Could you offer some suggestion how to fetch mailbox content over high RTT link (with negligible packet loss)? Currently I use IMAP+IDLE *but* it fails to use full available bandwidth due to high RTT and "send command wait for response" nature of POP3 and IMAP4 protocols. -- [pl>en: Andrew] Andrzej Adam Filip : anfi(a)onet.eu Learning without thought is labor lost; thought without learning is perilous. -- Confucius

[Dovecot] sieve: variable extension?
by Lev Serebryakov 13 Aug '09

13 Aug '09

Hello, Dovecot. Does dovecot sieve supports variable extension (rfc5229)? It is very useful for users with large amount of mailing lists, as it allows to write only one rule for all lists (filtering by List-Id). If it is not supported, is here any plans to support it? I can try to implement it, but I don't want to duplicate work, if somebody has this extension in pipeline. -- // Black Lion AKA Lev Serebryakov <lev(a)serebryakov.spb.ru>

[Dovecot] Tilde expansion in ManageSieve for dovecot-1.1.
by Stephen O'Dor 13 Aug '09

13 Aug '09

Greetings all, I'll skip the details of the setup, except to say that it has a non-standard (and non-templateable) home directory path for virtual users. Ran into the following problem when a debian (possibly from backports) packaged dovecot-1.1.2 was upgraded to a dovecot-1.1.13-2~bpo50+1 (definately from backports): sieve-storage: root directory specified by mail data does not exist: ~/Maildir After some analysis, it would appear that ManageSieve (looks like 0.10.4 is included in the debian backports) doesn't do the tilde expansion before doing a stat test to see if the ~/Maildir exists. Here's a quick diff of the change I made to make it work: sodor@madawg:~/tmp/deb-dove/dovecot-1.1-managesieve-0.10.4/src/lib-sievestorage$ diff sieve-storage.c ../../../sieve-storage.c 73c73 < const char *root_dir, *dir, *p, *d; --- > const char *root_dir, *dir, *p, *d, *home; 127a128,133 > /* expand tilde in root so that the stat below works */ > home = getenv("HOME"); > if (home != NULL && *home != '\0') { > root_dir = home_expand_tilde( root_dir, home ); > } > I'm not sure if this was the best way to fix this (or if this is even a bug, I might just have a crazy setup). Thanks, -Steve

[Dovecot] Dovecot proxy server
by michel＠casa.co.cu 13 Aug '09

13 Aug '09

Hello I have installed Dovecot as a POP3 server, IMAP on my internal network, the authentication against Windows Active Directory. I would like to know how to setup a second server dovecot as my proxy server for external users outside the network, in another segment of different IP addresses, or at least define which mailboxes will be stored on another server to be accessible to both servers. I have reviewed the document on the wiki site, but I said that is only possible with mysql authentication, but as I said the road where the messages are stored, it is possible for NFS?

[Dovecot] user_global_* ldap deliver
by Noel Leistad 12 Aug '09

12 Aug '09

Searched archive, but failed to find... :-( "deliver" does not honor user_global_* from dovecot-ldap.conf or userdb static{} also it looks like delivery attempts being made to %n/Maildir/cur ?? one other curious thing, use of ${recipient} in master.cf|deliver command causes the "passdb ldap" lookups to be completely ignored? only checks passdb and ignores userdb compleletely? IF I put noel(at)metc(dot)net into passwd.dovecot using passdb flatfile, auth and delivery seem to work. Thanks for any direction. I lament I couldn't get farther on my own.

[Dovecot] Dovecot Versions and Debian
by Mario Antonio 12 Aug '09

If you want to run Dovecot on Debian Lenny for a Production System (with Fast Upgrade System for Security Patches), What would you recommend? Stick to the current port with Dovecot Version 1.0.15 (1:1.0.15-2.3) Use Backports Version 1.1.13 (1:1.1.13-2~bpo50+1) or Use any of the packages from: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dovecot v1.1 for Debian Testing (binary and source): deb http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/ testing-auto/dovecot-1.1 main deb-src http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/ testing-auto/dovecot-1.1 main Dovecot v1.2 for Debian Testing (binary and source): deb http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/ testing-auto/dovecot-1.2 main deb-src http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/ testing-auto/dovecot-1.2 main ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Do you find any compelling reason for not using version 1.0.15 ? (Besides of ACL limitations ...) Regards, Mario Antonio

[Dovecot] sieve/managesieve and spam filtering
by Charles Sprickman 11 Aug '09

11 Aug '09

Hello all, I've got a test environment setup in preparation for a move from qmail/vpopmail/courier to postfix/padmin/dovecot. I have a number of questions that seem to span multiple pieces of software, and this is one of them... Our policy with spam filtering is that a user should be able to turn it off (ie: not put tagged spam into a spam folder, but deliver to their inbox) if they want to. Currently qmailadmin and a custom squirrelmail plugin give people the option to do this by dumping a .qmail file in their directory that calls a common maildrop script that will deliver spam to the spam folder. It looks like I can emulate this with sieve and something that can speak to Dovecot's managesieve server. Where I'm stuck is that if I want users to be able to do other custom filtering using sieve, how do I go about making sure that my common spam delivery rule does not get clobbered? This really has me a bit stumped. I see there's a global sieverc that can be included, but I need something along the lines of a per-user include that brings in the spam filtering rule that will "stick" until the user explicitly deletes it. Any ideas? Thanks, Charles ___ Charles Sprickman NetEng/SysAdmin Bway.net - New York's Best Internet - www.bway.net spork(a)bway.net - 212.655.9344

[Dovecot] Index cache file problems in Dovecot 1.2.0
by Chris Wakelin 11 Aug '09

11 Aug '09

I've been seeing lots of index cache file errors (using mbox on Solaris 8 sparc 64-bit, but with 32-bit Dovecot) since I switched my account to Dovecot 1.2.0 (we're still on 1.0.15 mostly, but I'm hoping to upgrade to 1.1.17+ this summer, or 1.2.x if it's stable enough). e.g. Error: Corrupted index cache file <path>/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.cache: field index too large (47 >= 25) I've tried renaming/removing the .imap/INBOX directory, but the "Corrupted index cache file" errors return within a day or so. This morning, Thunderbird got itself in a mess retrying something that caused multiple core dumps: > Jul 14 08:52:53 dovecot: Error: child 17694 (imap) killed with signal 10 (core dumped) > Jul 14 08:52:54 dovecot: Error: child 17697 (imap) killed with signal 10 (core dumped) > Jul 14 08:52:55 dovecot: Error: child 17700 (imap) killed with signal 10 (core dumped) Here's a backtrace > #0 mail_cache_get_record (cache=0x124e28, offset=289, rec_r=0xffbeeb6c) > at mail-cache-lookup.c:30 > 30 if (rec->size < sizeof(*rec)) { > (gdb) bt > #0 mail_cache_get_record (cache=0x124e28, offset=289, rec_r=0xffbeeb6c) > at mail-cache-lookup.c:30 > #1 0x84e2c in mail_cache_lookup_iter_next_record (ctx=0xffbeeb60) > at mail-cache-lookup.c:186 > #2 0x84f14 in mail_cache_lookup_iter_next (ctx=0xffbeeb60, field_r=0xffbeeb50) > at mail-cache-lookup.c:219 > #3 0x85650 in mail_cache_lookup_headers_real (view=0x128510, dest=0x129728, > seq=11416, field_idxs=0xffbeec74, fields_count=2) > at mail-cache-lookup.c:500 > #4 0x85848 in mail_cache_lookup_headers (view=0x128510, dest=0x129728, > seq=11416, field_idxs=0xffbeec74, fields_count=2) > at mail-cache-lookup.c:555 > #5 0x6ba94 in index_mail_get_raw_headers (mail=0x128f20, > field=0xff142ee8 "Message-ID", value_r=0xffbeecfc) > at index-mail-headers.c:614 > #6 0x6c084 in index_mail_get_first_header (_mail=0x128f20, > field=0xff142ee8 "Message-ID", decode_to_utf8=false, value_r=0xffbeede4) > at index-mail-headers.c:771 > #7 0x7893c in mail_get_first_header (mail=0x128f20, > field=0xff142ee8 "Message-ID", value_r=0xffbeede4) at mail.c:118 > #8 0xff1419a0 in mail_log_add_hdr (mail=0x128f20, str=0x10edc8, > name=0xff142d68 "msgid", header=0xff142ee8 "Message-ID") > at mail-log-plugin.c:277 > #9 0xff141c5c in mail_log_action (dest_trans=0x128f20, mail=0x128f20, > event=MAIL_LOG_EVENT_DELETE, data=0x0) at mail-log-plugin.c:318 > #10 0xff141e5c in mail_log_mail_update_flags (_mail=0x128f20, > modify_type=MODIFY_ADD, flags=12) at mail-log-plugin.c:376 > #11 0x78af8 in mail_update_flags (mail=0x128f20, modify_type=MODIFY_ADD, > flags=12) at mail.c:184 > #12 0x2ab3c in cmd_store (cmd=0x11bec8) at cmd-store.c:192 > #13 0x2b5f8 in cmd_uid (cmd=0x11bec8) at cmd-uid.c:27 > #14 0x2ccc4 in client_command_input (cmd=0x11bec8) at client.c:611 > #15 0x2cb68 in client_command_input (cmd=0x11bec8) at client.c:660 > #16 0x2cd4c in client_handle_next_command (client=0x11bc40, > remove_io_r=0xffbef23f) at client.c:701 > #17 0x2ce40 in client_handle_input (client=0x11bc40) at client.c:713 > #18 0x2cf78 in client_input (client=0x11bc40) at client.c:752 > #19 0xc6c04 in io_loop_handler_run (ioloop=0x1186d8) at ioloop-poll.c:203 > #20 0xc63f4 in io_loop_run (ioloop=0x1186d8) at ioloop.c:338 > #21 0x369f4 in main (argc=1107968, argv=0xffbef484, envp=0xffbef494) > at main.c:323 I didn't have these problems with 1.1.x.

[Dovecot] Problems with Dovecot 1.2.3 + IMAP (SSL) + iPhone OS 3.0
by Sascha Scandella 11 Aug '09

11 Aug '09

Hello Has anyone else problems with Dovecot 1.2.3? For clients such as Thunderbird, Outlook 2007 everything works perfect. When I use an iPhone the child process is killed: Aug 11 08:08:44 imap-login: Info: Login: user=<username>, method=PLAIN,rip=1.2.3.4, lip=4.3.2.1, TLS Aug 11 08:08:44 dovecot: Error: child 5382 (imap) killed with signal 11 (core dumps disabled) Currently I have downgraded again to the working 1.2. I wonder if this problem is known or anyone is looking for it.

[Dovecot] RFC: Storing indexes in a (remote) database to increase dovecot scalability
by Mark Zealey 10 Aug '09

10 Aug '09

Hi all, This is just an idea I had over the weekend; I was wondering if instead of storing the indexes/caches on disk, it would be possible to have an option to store them in a remote database (eg mysql). There are several issues that we currently have with scaling dovecot, and I think that if it could store indexes in an external database we could alleviate most of these issues. In no particular order: 1) One major issue we have with dovecot is the number of iops it requires to keep its files in sync on our big disk arrays. If this were a mysql database, we'd have better ways of keeping these in sync, for example switching the speed at which it flushes the updates to disk, growth using partitioning/sharding, read-only slave instances etc, specific ssd storage for indexes/caches. I know that we could create a separate ssd disk array and export that over nfs too, but see issue (2) below. If indexes were stored in a mysql database we could choose to have a different reliability for the indexes (ie if the database server crashes we have 1 second of index changes lost, whereas for the email itself we can ensure it is always kept in sync on our other disk arrays). 2) nfs locking issues. No matter how hard we try, we always find there are some issues with concurrency over nfs. It really doesn't seem designed to handle these issues very well. I've not tried with nfsv4 and I believe there are some improvements there, but at the same time nfs wasn't really designed to store databases and have heavy concurrency. A proper database server (eg mysql, postgres) on the other hand thrives in this type of environment, especially when coupled with a transactional storage backend such as innodb which includes support for deadlock handling etc. 3) As we store all of our mail systems over nfs, effectively each export is a single-threaded connection to the server. No matter how fast the central nfs server you can realistically not go above 10k nfs ops/sec on the fastest of local networks due to latency issues. With mysql you could have multiple parallel connections to the central database store (1 per process?) which would mean more nfs ops available for actually serving the files. 4) Caching. Much more tuneable on a database server than in a filesystem. Eg in mysql there are loads of options to tune the various innodb/query/key caches, on nfs there are very few even on advanced netapps etc I know some of you store all your indexes on a single server locally & then store the emails on a remote central filestore. Whilst this is a good idea, it doesn't scale very well in that if the one server fails then everything has to be reindexed as clients login which causes incredible load as dovecot has to re-read most of the messages (in pop3 mode at least) in order to work out size counts etc. In my experience this reindexing would take out our email system for the best part of a day. I'm sure we could set something up with drbd mirroring or a central san array with ssd's for the index data, but this intrinsically does not scale with as much ease as a replicating database cluster could. There are also failover issues which can be very easily solved with a database system (eg mysql with an active/passive dual-master setup). Also, I know that most of these points refer to nfs; and I know that there are alternative methods (eg san + gfs or some other scalable filesystem) however most of these are relatively new technologies whereas nfs is pretty much the standard for remote file storage; certainly I'd consider it a lot more reliable when compared to the likes of gfs or lustre. Your typical large scale mail setup would be over nfs and this is the sort of environment that I've run into these scaling issues in. I've heard that gfs also doesn't work very well with 'hot spots' which indexes tend to be, although I've no first hand experience of this. So, although this post only really mentions nfs & mysql (the two technologies that I'm most familiar with) I think this is a much more general problem so I'm not advocating the use of either technology apart from them being most people's first choices for ease of use. What I'm really proposing is a way to separate the two different types of data that dovecot uses. Indexes&caches contain small frequent transactions; and whilst these are relatively important, dropping the past few seconds of these transactions doesn't seriously matter. On the other hand emails are larger, infrequently changed & it's important they are kept fully in sync - if we accept a message it should be guaranteed that we don't loose it. At the end of the day it seems to me that a filesystem is the ideal place to store emails, whereas a database server would be the ideal place to store indexes/caches. Obviously for speed of setup, simply storing everything on a filesystem is easy so I'm not suggesting that we abandon this route, but for truly large infrastructures I think being able to use a database system would have significant advantages in each of these four areas. Any thoughts?

Hi, I´m using dovecot at our storages, accounts is distributed among many storages (not entire domain), all of them with compression (when message > 30Kb), nightly crontab script. Even though compression and many storages, we always have problems with disk space and need to migrate accounts. Have you ever implemented any archive solution working with dovecot ?

[Dovecot] Mail not begin proccessed
by Andre Labuschagne 10 Aug '09

10 Aug '09

Good day all, [Dovecot version 1.2.1] I've set up postfix and dovecot on Centos. I have a problem with the mail, it is begin received but not "processed" by dovecot. I've looked in the maillog file and found two problems; the first is that private/dovecot directory (I think it should be a directory) did not exist and the second problem is "mail transport unavailable". I've create a directory called /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot but I get the following error in the log file: Connection refused (Is this an ownership issue? I've made the owner postfix) As for the second problem, I've spend the most of the past 3 days googling the error and found very little "useful" information. Do I need to supply more info? Best regards, Andre

[Dovecot] Released Sieve v0.1.11 and ManageSieve v0.11.8 for Dovecot v1.2.3
by Stephan Bosch 10 Aug '09

10 Aug '09

Hello Dovecot users, Apart from unfinished development of the date extension, this is a set of bug-fix releases. A few portability issues were found, a few stupidities were fixed and the ManageSieve proxy now also works with TLS. Most notably, the include extension had an issue regarding the expansion of $HOME in the personal include path. I've built a project site at: http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org Changelog Sieve v0.1.11: + Built skeleton implementation for the date extension (RFC5260). It compiles, but it does not do anything useful yet. Therefore, it is not part of the default compilation. - Fixed ARM portability issues caused by char type not being signed on that platform. Reading optional operands from a binary would fail for action side effects. Also, an accidental mixup of an int return type with bool caused the interpreter to continue on ARM even though an error occured. - Removed direct stdint.h includes to prevent portability issues. - Fixed segfault bug in the handling of script open failures. - Include: improved user error messages and system log messages. - Fixed copy-paste mixup between sieve_after and sieve_before settings in the LDA Sieve plugin. If only a sieve_after script was active, nothing would have been executed. Patch by Mike Abbott. - Include: fixed a bug in HOME substitution in the sieve_dir path. Surfaced in ManageSieve. Changelog ManageSieve v0.11.8: - Fixed TLS support for proxying ManageSieve. The protocol state machine was incorrect. Also added a check that disables ssl when 'starttls' is not enabled for the user. This produces a proper warning in the log file. There is no such thing as a managesieveS protocol which has SSL from the start. The releases are available as follows: Sieve: http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2-sieve-0.1.11.tar.gz http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2-sieve-0.1.11.tar.gz.sig ManageSieve (package + patch): http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2-managesieve-0.11.8.tar.gz http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2-managesieve-0.11.8.tar.gz.s… http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2.3-managesieve-0.11.8.diff.gz http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2.3-managesieve-0.11.8.diff.g… Have fun testing the new releases and don't hesitate to notify me when there are problems.

[Dovecot] virtual plugin and ACL
by Nikita Koshikov 10 Aug '09

Hello list, We are using virtual plugin for to provide users two additional folders: Company/all - it contains all messages in user's mailbox Company/favorites - here is flagged messages. Here is namespace part of config file: namespace private { prefix = Company/ separator = / location = virtual:/var/mail/virtual:INDEX=MEMORY:LAYOUT=maildir++ subscriptions = no } Everything works fine, but problem arises when someone rename or delete virtual mailbox. With above config, 1 user make changes to his mailbox, but changes distribute for entire domain. First, I have tried to add :CONTROL=/data/mail/%d/%n/data/virtual to location part of virtual namespace, but I have no luck with such settings. Directory /data/mail/%d/%n/data/virtual not even been created. Then I tried to setup ACL for virtual mailbox. Adding "acl" to mail_plugins in imap and lda section and acl=vfile to plugins config. Under /var/mail/virtual in each mailbox I create dovecot-acl file contaning: user=koshikov.n lrwstiekxa authenticated lrwstipe But this didn't work. * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN] Server ready. a login test qwe a OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE SORT THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT IDLE CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE QRESYNC ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH QUOTA] Logged in a list "" * * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Sent" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Drafts" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Spam" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Trash" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "INBOX" * LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "/" "Company" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Company/all" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Company/favorites" a OK List completed. a select Company/all * FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft NonJunk) * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft NonJunk \*)] Flags permitted. * 13 EXISTS * 0 RECENT * OK [UIDVALIDITY 1249459221] UIDs valid * OK [UIDNEXT 14] Predicted next UID * OK [NOMODSEQ] No permanent modsequences a OK [READ-WRITE] Select completed. a getacl a BAD Error in IMAP command GETACL: Unknown command. a rename Company/all Company/test a OK Rename completed.

[Dovecot] how secure is Dovecot when exposed to the Internet?
by Florin Andrei 10 Aug '09

$ dovecot -n # 1.1.11: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.28-11-server x86_64 Ubuntu 9.04 protocols: imap imaps managesieve I need to make an IMAP (actually imaps) server available over the Internet. Unfortunately, VPN is not available (not all clients support VPN), so I will have to expose the imaps port to the Internet. My question is: how reliable is Dovecot in such a setup? I am not talking about encryption (protecting the traffic between server and client). I am talking about having the daemon exposed to anything coming in from the Internet, buffer overflows and stuff like that.

[Dovecot] Wiki entry for expire plugin, PostgreSQL trigger needs update
by Stefan Förster 09 Aug '09

09 Aug '09

The wiki entry at http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Expire needs an update for Dovecot 1.2 and PostgreSQL: -- v1.2+: CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION merge_expires() RETURNS TRIGGER AS $$ BEGIN IF exists(SELECT 1 FROM expires WHERE username = NEW.username AND mailbox = NEW.mailbox) THEN UPDATE expires SET expire_stamp = NEW.expire_stamp WHERE username = NEW.username AND mailbox = NEW.mailbox; RETURN NULL; ELSE RETURN NEW; END IF; END; $$ LANGUAGE plpgsql; CREATE TRIGGER mergeexpires BEFORE INSERT ON expires FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE merge_expires(); At least that's what I think after looking at the code: iter = dict_iterate_init(dict, DICT_EXPIRE_PREFIX, DICT_ITERATE_FLAG_RECURSE | DICT_ITERATE_FLAG_SORT_BY_VALUE); /* We'll get the oldest values (timestamps) first */ while (dict_iterate(iter, &key, &value) > 0) { /* key = DICT_EXPIRE_PREFIX<user>/<mailbox> */ userp = key + strlen(DICT_EXPIRE_PREFIX); [...] T_BEGIN { username = t_strdup_until(userp, p); If this code does somehow iterate usernames which are not present in the dict, I apologize.

I also notice the effective uid/gid is not that specified in the passwd file? The uid/gid appears to be that of my own ssh account which is not connected to the mail account that I wish to simply access as a virtual user. Would anyone be kind enough to point me in the right direction? In a nutshell, where am I going wrong with my authentication? This is a basic setup for the time being, until I get my head around it, but any pointers would be really appreciated. Have spent quite a few hours but I don't feel much closer to getting to the bottom of it! :) Many thanks, Richard

[Dovecot] multiple auth-client sockets
by LEVAI Daniel 09 Aug '09

09 Aug '09

Hi! I'm gonna need to use dovecot's auth-client socket in an authentication program. Now the auth-client socket is only used by my MTA, which is postfix. Because postfix's smtpd process (which uses the auth-client socket) runs chrooted under postfix's spool directory, I must create the auth-client socket under that spool directory. However, to reach that socket from another chrooted program is impossible. Can I create multiple instances of auth-client sockets? I tried to define another client {} stanza in socket listen {} in dovecot.conf, but only the last client socket got created. I need only a true or false response from dovecot regarding the authentication, and I thought that this is exactly what auth-client socket will do. However, if I can not reach it, is there any alternative to this? What's up with the auth-master or auth-worker sockets? Are they capable of respond to an auth request too? btw, I'm running dovecot-1.2.3 Thanks!

[Dovecot] autocreate plugin fails to subscribe mailbox in public namespace
by Stefan Förster 09 Aug '09

09 Aug '09

Hi, I'm one step away from replacing a 7 years old qmail/uw-imapd setup with some state of the art soft- and hardware. We got migration scripts and test almost done - just one thing that keeps failing: The autocreate plugin is supposed to subscribe new users to different mailboxes, one of them being in namespace "Public." - this subscription to "Public.announcements" fails. Below is a dovecot -n - and no, there are no error messages in the logs. # 1.2.2: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.30-bpo.1-amd64 x86_64 Debian 5.0.2 log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: imap imaps managesieve listen(default): *:143 listen(imap): *:143 listen(managesieve): * ssl_listen(default): *:993 ssl_listen(imap): *:993 ssl_listen(managesieve): ssl_cert_file: /etc/ssl/owncerts/snakeoil.crt ssl_key_file: /etc/ssl/private/snakeoil.key 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 verbose_proctitle: yes mail_privileged_group: vmail mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir mbox_write_locks: fcntl dotlock mail_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(managesieve): /usr/lib/dovecot/managesieve mail_process_size: 384 mail_plugins(default): quota imap_quota fts fts_squat acl autocreate expire trash mail_plugins(imap): quota imap_quota fts fts_squat acl autocreate expire trash 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 namespace: type: private separator: . inbox: yes list: yes subscriptions: yes namespace: type: public separator: . prefix: Public. location: maildir:/export/vmailboxes/public:INDEX=~/Maildir/public list: yes lda: postmaster_address: postmaster(a)test.cite.lan hostname: testvm06.test.cite.lan mail_plugins: quota sieve expire trash auth_socket_path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master auth default: mechanisms: plain login cram-md5 passdb: driver: ldap args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf userdb: driver: ldap args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: sasl master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 user: vmail group: vmail plugin: quota: maildir:User quota quota_warning: storage=90%% /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh 90 quota_warning2: storage=95%% /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh 95 sieve: ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_storage: ~/sieve sieve_extensions: +imapflags fts: squat fts_squat: partial=4 full=10 acl: vfile autocreate: Trash autocreate2: Drafts autocreate3: Sent autocreate4: learn-spam autosubscribe: Trash autosubscribe2: Drafts autosubscribe3: Sent autosubscribe4: learn-spam autosubscribe5: Public.announcements autosubscribe6: INBOX expire: Trash 60 Trash/* 60 expire_dict: proxy::expire trash: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-trash.conf dict: expire: pgsql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-expire.conf Any hints are really appreciated.

[Dovecot] Creating a "default" domain
by Charles Sprickman 09 Aug '09

09 Aug '09

Hello, I'm setting up a test server to work through the issues involved in bringing a bunch of vpopmail/qmail/courier users into a postfix/dovecot server. So far I'm seeing lots of info to aid in the transition. One thing I'm lost on is that since Dovecot is providing all the auth mechanisms rather than vpopmail, I'm not sure how to emulate a particular vpopmail behavior we rely on. Vpopmail allows for the concept of a "default" domain for authentication. So if I have a bunch of domains, and one is "example.com", users in that domain can login with only the username part of their id (ie: "john") rather than supplying the domain (ie: "john(a)example.com"). I need to continue to offer this unless I want to walk a few hundred users through reconfiguring their mail clients. :) Any pointers?

[Dovecot] convert config from 1.1.2_1 to 1.1.16
by Ebbe Hjorth 09 Aug '09

09 Aug '09

Hi, Im tryin to follow a guide, telling me howto setup freebsd with postfix and dovecot. The text in bold (first section), is what the guide says, and the text that follows is what the /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf files says. Can you please help me on how to convert from the 1.1.2_1 setup to the correct configuration for the 1.1.16? / Thank you very much. *socket listen { client { path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode = 0660 user = postfix group = postfix } } * socket listen { master { # Master socket provides access to userdb information. It's typically # used to give Dovecot's local delivery agent access to userdb so it # can find mailbox locations. path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode = 0600 # Default user/group is the one who started dovecot-auth (root) #user = #group = } client { # The client socket is generally safe to export to everyone. Typical use # is to export it to your SMTP server so it can do SMTP AUTH lookups # using it. path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-client mode = 0660 }

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/dovecot-1.2.3.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/dovecot-1.2.3.tar.gz.sig A few days later than I wanted, but here it is. * Mailbox names with control characters can't be created anymore. Existing mailboxes can still be accessed though. + Allow namespace prefix to be opened as mailbox, if a mailbox already exists in the root dir. - Maildir: dovecot-uidlist was being recreated every time a mailbox was accessed, even if nothing changed. - listescape plugin was somewhat broken - Compiling fixes for non-Linux/BSDs - imap: tb-extra-mailbox-sep workaround was broken. - ldap: Fixed hang when >128 requests were sent at once. - fts_squat: Fixed crashing when searching virtual mailbox. - imap: Fixed THREAD ..

[Dovecot] All mail in mbox disappears when using Outlook
by Frank Leonhardt 08 Aug '09

08 Aug '09

I thought I was imaging it but... I have a friend (honestly) that likes to clear his inbox every month by copying older into a folder (e.g. June-2009). Every month he complains that all the mail in the new folder has disappeared. This has happened three times now, and he's sort-of-right. I now believe it's a bug rather than him. The setup is Dovecot 1.1.3 on FreeBSD 7.0 and the client is Outlook 2003 SP3 (using IMAP). What you end up with is a folder called June-2009 with no messages visible. Outlook reckons it's completely empty - size 0. I don't know how he gets to this point, but it can't be anything that bizarre - just copying messages. It's happened three months in a row. However, he can't see the contents and I can't see the contents using Outlook. Strangely, Eudora and Squirrel have no problem. Corrupt mbox file? Probably not. If you copy the problem one, the copy works fine. The really weird thing is that if you rename the problem file (using mv) it STILL DOESN'T work. I've considered the possibility that it's got a bad lock on it, but if so, how come Squirrel and Eudora have no problem? I've searched as far as I can for any known problems using Outlook. What next?

Hi Timo, the preconditions was: a dbox converted (convert-tool) from Maildir contents of dbox/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails was: - dovecot.index.log [64876 bytes] - dovecot-uidlist [167280 bytes] - 3237 mails I've started mutt to see the mails. Mutt lost the connection immediately. The log shows nothing strange except for: dovecot: Error: child 12136 (imap) killed with signal 11 (core dumped) Each time i try to connect to dovecot imap crashes. The first backtrace is attached.

[Dovecot] hoping someone has a suggestion
by P.A 07 Aug '09

07 Aug '09

Hi using dovecot 1.0.10 with pop/imap, using maildir, with 2000+ users mostly using pop but many using imap. Once in a great while I have problems with dovecot pop timing out. If I telnet to port 110 it just takes forever to come up or it doesn't at all, the samething happens on the imap port although 110 is always worst. At 1st when troubleshooting I was not sure what was causing the situation and when I ran out of options I stopped postfix. When I did this dovecot immediately started working again, that is port 110/143 came up fast and all the user logins were fast again. When I restarted postfix after a minute or so dovecot became slow again. While observing this situation I notice that postfix had most of the connections about 300+ in established state, while dovecot was using around 150 connections. After adjusting some of the parameters on postfix and shutting it down multiple times, suddenly everything worked but this time postfix was reporting over 3000 connections mostly in TIME_WAIT state which is normal for us. My question is what do you guys think is happening here, what is the relationship between dovecot/postfix that would cause this to happen. I'm just looking for some suggestions in case this happens again. # 1.0.10: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf protocols: imap pop3 ssl_disable: yes disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login login_greeting: D-V1 NP09 ready. login_process_size: 384 login_processes_count: 55 login_max_processes_count: 450 mail_location: maildir:/home/%1u/%u/Maildir maildir_copy_with_hardlinks: yes maildir_copy_preserve_filename: yes mail_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3 pop3_uidl_format(default): pop3_uidl_format(imap): pop3_uidl_format(pop3): %08Xu%08Xv pop3_client_workarounds(default): pop3_client_workarounds(imap): pop3_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh auth default: count: 4 passdb: driver: shadow userdb: driver: passwd

[Dovecot] Bug - dovecot-auth hangs in ldap query. 1.1.16 (also in 1.2.2)
by Marek Miska 07 Aug '09

07 Aug '09

dovecot-auth hangs when many (>128) LDAP queries are submited simultaneously. (for example via pop3 benchmarking tool). Bug is in src/auth/db-ldap.c:db_ldap_request_queue_next if (queue_size > DB_LDAP_MAX_PENDING_REQUESTS) { /* wait until server has replied to some requests */ return FALSE; } (queue_size is total queue size, not only queries sent to LDAP server.) I think this condition should be: if (conn->pending_count >= DB_LDAP_MAX_PENDING_REQUESTS) {

[Dovecot] Trying to get dovecot and squirrelmail talking
by Neil Bird 07 Aug '09

07 Aug '09

I have been using dovecot+squirrelmail with no problems on my Fedora box (currently at F10). I've been using a simple mail location string along the lines of 'mbox:~/usr/mail/%u:INBOX=mbox:/var/spool/mail/%u' (sorry, that's off the top of my head, I can't get into my box from here at the moment). Essentially: standard mbox inbox in /var/spool/mail/[user], plus mbox files under ~/usr/mail. These latter are for remote access to archived Thunderbird files, which are [currently] mbox format. This works fine. However, I've had some slight issues elsewhere which I feel would be eased or solved by making my INBOX use maildir format, and keeping mails I want to remote-access more often in the top level maildir there (instead of always having to dip into the TB mboxes). To that end, I tried setting up: # want to be able to add sibling and child folders here namespace private { separator = / prefix = location = /var/spool/mail/%u inbox = yes hidden = no list = yes } # And the legacy mbox files go here under 'local' namespace private { separator = / prefix = local/ location = mbox:~/usr/mail hidden = no list = yes } (with appropriate an procmail change for maildir delivery) Now, this pretty much worked the way I wanted. However, afterwards, trying to connect from squirrelmail I had it say that there were no [IMAP] folders to subscribe to, including the INBOX. I couldn't se any errors, either in /var/log/maillog or http's logs. Have I got something wrong? Am I trying to do something that's doomed to failure? -- [neil@fnx ~]# rm -f .signature [neil@fnx ~]# ls -l .signature ls: .signature: No such file or directory [neil@fnx ~]# exit

[Dovecot] Dovecot deliver uidlist issues
by Mark Zealey 07 Aug '09

07 Aug '09

Hi all, Lets say I have a maildir which doesn't contain any dovecot files but has some emails lying around in it. If I add a message to this mailbox using deliver, dovecot creates the uidlist file with a single entry (the message that was just delivered). When I then log in to the mailbox, all the other messages are added into the uidlist file in the normal order (directory list order I believe). Then, the mailbox is in a situation where anything that was delivered into the mailbox before the user logs in is at the very top of a uidlist. Unfortunately many webmail clients seem to order the mailbox by reverse uidl, so we get the situation where people log into webmail (we use @mail) after their mailboxes have been migrated to dovecot and any messages delivered between the time of migration and the time of login are put to the very end of the list. This could presumably be fixed by ordering the mailbox according to date but certainly @mail doesn't really do this very well. I've only tested this on v1.1 (1.1.17 from atrpms), but I didn't see anything in the changelog to indicate that this deliver behaviour has changed in v1.2. Perhaps there should be a deliver option to recreate the uidlist file by doing a full scan if it doesn't exist (as a login via pop/imap would do), although I'm not sure why this shouldn't be the default? (apart from deliever potentially causing a high amount of io). My current work-around is to use postlogin to remove the uidlist file when someone logs in to the mailbox for the first time which then forces it to be created in the correct order; but this is a very messy solution.

[Dovecot] connect to IMAP
by jolan D 07 Aug '09

07 Aug '09

hi, I am trying to get a webbased IMAP mail module to work. http://nocc.sourceforge.net/ But it seems it doesn't connect to it. When i try to login it says: "login is not allowed for connection" i guess it has to do with the settings of the conf file. I have dovecot installed on Centos and installed it with yum. All (basic)settings are usually set correctly during install. After trying hard still no login. So i am hoping you guys can help me out.

[Dovecot] sieve rules processing
by Nikita Koshikov 06 Aug '09

06 Aug '09

Hello list, My question: is sieve support some kind of "continue" action, to explicit tell server processing rules below current one(if current has triged)? Situation: I have few rules, which fileinto's to different directories. All is working fine, but if I want redirect all my mail for some period of time to another mailbox, I'm adding rule like this, to be processing first. if anyof (true) { redirect "koshikov(a)gmail.com"; keep; } Mail redirecting, but keep state store messages to INBOX. All I want - to process other rules, which will move message to the right imap directory. This situation also happens with vacation sieve-action. In sieve rfc I didn't find any workaround to that actions. Maybe someone know how to make sieve working in described way?

[Dovecot] deliver is curious
by Sven Strickroth 06 Aug '09

06 Aug '09

Hi, Im' using deliver with postfix (mailbox_command = /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -n -m "$EXTENSION"). In dovecot.conf I've set mail_location to maildir:/var/spool/imap/users/%u/Maildir It works, but not for ONE "special" email. If I send mail to e.g. th(a)trg-oha.de it gets correctly delivered (see noerror.txt), but I have one mail with an attachment (i cannot provide it because of privacy reasons) where i get the attached error. How comes that deliver doesn't use the mail_location but the real home-directory (from ldap, it doesn't exist on the mailserver) of that user in this case? -- Best regards, Sven mailto:sven@clamav.net ClamAV, a GPL anti-virus toolkit http://www.clamav.net Aug 3 00:57:40 mailsrv postfix/qmgr[15624]: 4C8582024C: from=<kt(a)gmx.de>, size=1436493, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Aug 3 00:57:40 mailsrv dovecot: deliver(th): Home dir not found: /home/daten/user/lehrer/th Aug 3 00:57:40 mailsrv dovecot: deliver(th): Namespace: type=private, prefix=, sep=., inbox=yes, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes Aug 3 00:57:40 mailsrv dovecot: deliver(th): maildir: data=/var/spool/imap/users/th/Maildir Aug 3 00:57:40 mailsrv dovecot: deliver(th): maildir++: root=/var/spool/imap/users/th/Maildir, index=, control=, inbox=/var/spool/imap/users/th/Maildir Aug 3 00:57:40 mailsrv dovecot: deliver(th): Namespace: type=shared, prefix=users.%n., sep=., inbox=no, hidden=no, list=(null), subscriptions=no Aug 3 00:57:40 mailsrv dovecot: deliver(th): shared: root=, index=, control=, inbox= Aug 3 00:57:40 mailsrv dovecot: deliver(th): Namespace: type=public, prefix=shared., sep=., inbox=no, hidden=no, list=(null), subscriptions=no Aug 3 00:57:40 mailsrv dovecot: deliver(th): maildir: data=/var/spool/imap/shared Aug 3 00:57:40 mailsrv dovecot: deliver(th): maildir++: root=/var/spool/imap/shared, index=, control=, inbox= Aug 3 00:57:40 mailsrv dovecot: deliver(th): Namespace : Using permissions from /var/spool/imap/users/th/Maildir: mode=0700 gid=-1 Aug 3 00:57:40 mailsrv dovecot: deliver(th): mkdir_parents_chown(/home/daten/user/lehrer/th) failed: Permission denied (euid=2684(th) egid=12(mail) missing +w perm: /home) Aug 3 00:57:40 mailsrv dovecot: deliver(th): copy: i_stream_read() failed: Permission denied Aug 3 00:57:40 mailsrv dovecot: deliver(th): msgid=<F915DEB780CD459A93FA6A3E9B4564BA@EeeTh>: save failed to INBOX: Internal error occurred.

[Dovecot] Deliver LDA versus vdelivermail
by Wouter van der Schagt 05 Aug '09

05 Aug '09

Good morning all, I have a question. Due to my interest in the Sieve plug-in. I'm considering to change the LDA on my production servers from 'vdelivermail' from vpopmail to 'deliver' from Dovecot. However I'm not sure how to go about doing this or whether there are any conversion issues that I should be aware of. Currently my /var/qmail/control/defaultdelivery is set to "./Maildir/". I am assuming I have to set that to: "|/var/qmail/bin/preline -f /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d $EXT@$USER" Does it also mean I have to recreate all .qmail and .qmail-default files? Am I missing anything else? Does anybody have any experience in changing LDA on production servers? Sincerely, - Wouter van der Schagt

[Dovecot] sieve not working with Postfix and maildir
by Florin Andrei 03 Aug '09

03 Aug '09

I am moving away from Cyrus, I'm trying to migrate to Dovecot. I am trying to get Sieve working with Dovecot and Postfix and it just won't work. Postfix is able to delived new messages to the "new" subfolder of the inbox structure. After I run Thunderbird, the new message gets moved to "cur" and it shows up in my inbox. So far so good. But now I'm trying to add Sieve. I turned on managesieve, installed Avelsieve in Squirrelmail, and did some tests. No matter what, the message stays in the inbox, it does not move to the designated folder: Postfix throws it in "new", it gets moved to "cur" after accessing my email with Thunderbird, and that's it.

03 Aug '09

http://dovecot.org/tmp/dovecot-1.2.3.rc.tar.gz I thought about doing v1.2.3 release immediately, but I think I'll wait about 10-24h first. So until then, testing this RC is appreciated and hopefully we'll have a good release this time. :) + Allow namespace prefix to be opened as mailbox, if a mailbox already exists in the root dir. - Maildir: dovecot-uidlist was being recreated every time a mailbox was accessed, even if nothing changed. - listescape plugin was somewhat broken - Compiling fixes for non-Linux/BSDs

[Dovecot] Performance problem with STATUS after upgrade (1.0.15 -> 1.2.2)
by Stefan Förster 03 Aug '09

03 Aug '09

Hello list, after upgrading dovecot from 1.0.15 to 1.2.2 (and carefully reading through the upgrading notes in the wiki), I got sieve, quota and fts up and running, but I'm now suffering some kind of performance problem with the STATUS command. Symptoms: Reading mail on the IMAP server itself with "mutt", no TLS/SSL, connected through loopback interface. Whenever I idle a bit and then hit any key thereafter, for example to change into another mailbox, mutt will send a number of "STATUS" commands: # T 127.0.0.1:53604 -> 127.0.0.1:143 [AP] DONE..a0070 STATUS "postfix-buch" (UIDNEXT UIDVALIDITY UNSEEN RECENT)..a0071 STATUS "postfix-users" (UIDNEXT UIDVALIDITY UNSEEN RECENT)..a0072 STATUS "Trash" (UIDNEXT UIDVALIDITY UNSEEN RECENT)..a0073 STATUS "Sent" (UIDNEXT UIDVALID ITY UNSEEN RECENT)..a0074 STATUS "mailman-users" (UIDNEXT UIDVALIDITY UNSEEN RECENT)..a0075 STATUS "mailman-developers" (UIDNEXT UIDVALIDITY UNSEEN RECENT)..a0076 STATUS "de-postfix-users" (UIDNEXT UIDVALIDITY UNSEEN RECENT)..a0077 STATUS "amavis-users" (UIDNEXT UIDVALIDITY UNSEEN RECENT)..a0078 STATUS "spam" (UIDNEXT UIDVALIDITY UNSEEN RECENT)..a0079 STATUS "localreports" (UIDNEXT UIDVALIDITY UNSEEN RECENT)..a0080 STATUS "Drafts" (UIDNEXT UIDVALIDITY UNSEEN R ECENT)..a0081 STATUS "exim-users" (UIDNEXT UIDVALIDITY UNSEEN RECENT).. # (The whole conversation is available as: http://www.incertum.net/~cite/dovecot-snoop.log) Those commands take almost one(!) second to complete. I've used strace to capture what happens and made the results available at http://www.incertum.net/~cite/imap.log. With 1.0.15, I never noticed this kind of delay, and reading mail feels really sluggish at the moment. Is there any way to improve performance?

[Dovecot] Best way to get login protocol (pop3/imap) in post-login script

Hi, all. I found doc here: http://wiki.dovecot.org/PostLoginScripting and use ${USER}, ${IP} to track last-login username and remote ip address, but how can i track the mail protocol it used? like pop3, pop3s, imap, imaps? Currently, i wrote shell script as post-login script, and use below command to get protocol: ---- $(basename ${MAIL_PLUGIN_DIR}) ---- But is it the best way to get it? Thanks very much. :) -- Best Regards.

[Dovecot] How to delete retrieved mail
by Don Muller 03 Aug '09

03 Aug '09

Hi All, I use Dovecot and XMail on a QNAP TS-509 NAS. QNAP has combined the two into a package they call XDove. Everything seems to be working great except for one thing. When Dovecot retrieves the mail from XMail it is not removing it from XMail. It is leaving a copy on XMail. Is there an option I can set in Dovecot so it will delete the mail message from XMail when it retrieves it. Thanks Don

Accepting any password is not the right solution. 2nd: If user does not present a client certificate, he have to authenticate by username/password. In both cases user data is read from userdb LDAP, which is already working. I was not able to get both auth schemes working at same time. With Postfix such a config is fully operable. regards Christian

[Dovecot] Public folders, individual SEEN flags
by Keith Edmunds 03 Aug '09

03 Aug '09

Hi list I'm trying to set up shared public folders with individual SEEN flags. I've set up three test users, but as soon as one of them marks a mail in the public folder as seen or unseen, that change is propagated to all three users. If I watch the dovecot.index.log file in each user's directory for the public folder, I see all three change their last access time as soon as one user changes the SEEN status of a mail. Any hints as to what I'm doing wrong gratefully received, thanks. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # dovecot --version 1.2.1 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # dovecot -n # 1.2.1: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 i686 Debian 5.0.2 log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login mail_privileged_group: mail namespace: type: private separator: / inbox: yes list: yes subscriptions: yes namespace: type: public separator: / prefix: shared/ location: maildir:/home/publicfolders:INDEX=~/Maildir/public list: yes auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # ls -l /home/publicfolders/dovecot-shared -rw-rw-r-- 1 publicfolders publicfolders 0 2009-07-27 15:01 /home/publicfolders/dovecot-shared --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Dovecot] expire plugin no delete 1.2.1
by Robert Schetterer 03 Aug '09

03 Aug '09

Hi Timo, all of my tests fail with expire plugin, mail simply not get deleted i cant find any stuff in the logs why it does not or should not work. My guess that there is a problem with virtual plugin and/or shared namespace. It shouldnt be a problem with acl starting the script over cron as root am i right ? do you have any idea why it fails, is there a way to ignore all unneeded shared or virtual namespaces ? should there be a entry in the log when expire time is reached and deletion is unsuccessfull ? -- Best Regards MfG Robert Schetterer Germany/Munich/Bavaria

[Dovecot] Shared mailboxes and INBOX
by Keith Edmunds 03 Aug '09

03 Aug '09

I'm trying to implement a shared mailbox: in other words, we have a generic email address ("security@") which we want a number of users to be able to monitor. The problem I have is that users can see folders under that shared mailbox but can't see the INBOX. All the users in question have their own INBOX in their private namespace, so does this raise a conflict with monitoring another mailbox's INBOX?

[Dovecot] sieve filtering setup
by Jonathan Siegle 02 Aug '09

02 Aug '09

I'm looking at implementing sieve in my environment. Software is: dovecot-1.2-sieve revision 1022:3c9a22c28156 dovecot-1.2 revision 9269:a303bb82c1c9 AIX 5.3 with sendmail mta using prescribed deliver lda. I have a few questions. I'll have 110k sieve files(1 for each user). Does sieve read the file each time a new message is accepted by sendmail? Are there any measurements on cpu load for sieve filters? Thanks, Jonathan

[Dovecot] Managesieve configuration problem
by listacc＠gmx.de 02 Aug '09

02 Aug '09

Hello! I'm trying for a lot of time to make managesieve working with dovecot 1.1.17 and virtual users on openSuSE 11.1. I think I'm doing some misconfiguration, but I can't figure it out. Perhaps it's something with the paths to the sieve scripts? In dovecot.conf I find in the comments: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ protocol managesieve { #(...) # Specifies the location of the symlink pointing to the active script in # the sieve storage directory. This must match the SIEVE setting used by # deliver (refer to http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve#location for more # info). Variable substitution with % is recognized. # Take care: if a file in a maildir: begins with a '.', it is recognized # as a folder; so, avoid this. #sieve=~/.dovecot.sieve sieve = /drbd/mail/vmail/%d/%n/dovecot.sieve } ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "This must match the SIEVE setting used by deliver", so I have to take a look to LDA section, no? But there I don't find any hint for sieve settings: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ protocol lda { # Address to use when sending rejection mails. postmaster_address = postmaster(a)mydomain.tld # Hostname to use in various parts of sent mails, eg. in Message-Id. # Default is the system's real hostname. #hostname = # Support for dynamically loadable plugins. mail_plugins is a space separated # list of plugins to load. mail_plugins = cmusieve quota mail_plugin_dir = /usr/lib64/dovecot/modules/lda # If user is over quota, return with temporary failure instead of # bouncing the mail. #quota_full_tempfail = no # Format to use for logging mail deliveries. You can use variables: # %$ - Delivery status message (e.g. "saved to INBOX") # %m - Message-ID # %s - Subject # %f - From address #deliver_log_format = msgid=%m: %$ # Binary to use for sending mails. sendmail_path = /usr/lib/sendmail # Human readable error message for rejection mails. Use can use variables: # %n = CRLF, %r = reason, %s = subject, %t = recipient rejection_reason = Your message to <%t> was automatically rejected:%n%r # UNIX socket path to master authentication server to find users. # auth_socket_path = /drbd/mail/var/run/dovecot/auth-master auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master } ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I tried to log in to managesieve manually with gnutls-cli, and that was successfull. I was able to authenticate. But when I try to put the example script from dovecot wiki (http://wiki.dovecot.org/ManageSieve/Troubleshooting) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PUTSCRIPT "hutsefluts" {6+} keep; ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I get no ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OK "Putscript completed." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ there happens nothing, managesieve seems to wait for something else. When I look now into the directory where the script should be stored (the folder has been created automatically) I don't find any script file but a folder "tmp" that contains a plaintext file with the script commands inside, eg. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ hutsefluts-12345678.M033562P2271.imap.sieve ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After disconnecting, this file disappears. In the dovecot.info log it looks like this: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ dovecot: Jul 30 14:51:56 Info: auth(default): master out: USER 16 test(a)mydomain.tld home=/drbd/mail/vmail/mydomain.tld/test mail=maildir:/drbd/mail/vmail/mydomain.tld/test uid=5001 gid=5001 quota_rule=*:storage=512000000B dovecot: Jul 30 14:51:56 Info: managesieve-login: Login: user=<test(a)mydomain.tld>, method=PLAIN, rip=192.168.200.39, lip=192.168.200.40, TLS dovecot: Jul 30 14:51:56 Info: MANAGESIEVE(test(a)mydomain.tld): Effective uid=5001, gid=5001, home=/drbd/mail/vmail/mydomain.tld/test dovecot: Jul 30 14:51:56 Info: MANAGESIEVE(test(a)mydomain.tld): sieve-storage: using active sieve script path: /drbd/mail/vmail/mydomain.tld/test/dovecot.sieve dovecot: Jul 30 14:51:56 Info: MANAGESIEVE(test(a)mydomain.tld): sieve-storage: using active sieve script path: /drbd/mail/vmail/mydomain.tld/test/dovecot.sieve dovecot: Jul 30 14:51:56 Info: MANAGESIEVE(test(a)mydomain.tld): sieve-storage: using sieve script storage directory: /drbd/mail/vmail/mydomain.tld/test/sieve dovecot: Jul 30 14:51:56 Info: MANAGESIEVE(test(a)mydomain.tld): sieve-storage: relative path to sieve storage in active link: sieve/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ../vmail/mydomain.tld/test/dovecot.sieve is missing completely.

[Dovecot] Best way to get login protocol (pop3/imap) in post-login script
by Zhang Huangbin 02 Aug '09

02 Aug '09

Hi, all. I found doc here: http://wiki.dovecot.org/PostLoginScripting and use ${USER}, ${IP} to track last-login username and remote ip address, but how can i track the mail protocol it used? like pop3, pop3s, imap, imaps? Currently, i wrote shell script as post-login script, and use below command to get protocol: ---- $(basename ${MAIL_PLUGIN_DIR}) ---- But is it the best way to get it? Thanks very much. :) -- Best Regards.

[Dovecot] E-Mail Encryption
by Christian Felsing 01 Aug '09

01 Aug '09

Hello, I am new to Dovecot but installation was quite easy, so there is one more LDAP authenticated, Dovecot / Postfix mailbox online, but there is one question left: I would like to set up a configuration, which encrypts every user mail with a unique key. If user logs in, private key should be decrypted with user password and every mail user requests should be decrypted with users private key. If a mail comes in, it should be encrypted with users public key. That key pair should be used for that purpose only. Obviously a GnuPG plugin between deliver and rest of Dovecot is needed. best reagrds Christian

[Dovecot] Clients and dovecot-uidlist
by Thomas Hummel 31 Jul '09

31 Jul '09

Hello, I'm trying to figure out what exactly (and why) are the consequences of a lost or removal of the dovecot-uidlist file on an IMAP client (Thunderbird for instance). I took for granted that it was that the client would download all messages again since it might be confused by some UID changes. But I don't really see why (on the IMAP protocol level) and I don't know how to reproduce it. My understanding is that . dovecot-uidlist is not recreated until some client selects the mailbox . the client does something like : x UID fetch 1:* (FLAGS) to begin with anyway. So I guess the problem does not occur when no new messages arrive on the mailbox since the same UIDs would be assigned to the same messages ? But why would that change ? In which situation ? But can you show me some IMAP protocol command exchange that would illustrate . when such a problem can occur . how the client would detect that there has been some UID corruption . how it would fix it Thanks -- Thomas Hummel

[Dovecot] sieve delivery to utf folders
by Nikita Koshikov 31 Jul '09

31 Jul '09

Hello list, Today, my users have noticed, that delivery to folders with non-english names is broken. For example, if I create russian directory, it correct encoded and display into mail-client program and my webmail: Encoded: Normal view .INBOX.&BEIENQRBBEI- русс This is part of sieve script, which routing delivery to russian folder. .... elsif allof (header :contains "Subject" "qwe") { fileinto "INBOX/&BEIENQRBBEI-"; } But, when actualy delivery take place, in logs I have Jul 30 17:13:49 deliver(koshikov.n(a)domain.com): Info: sieve: msgid=<4A71A9E6.5040301(a)domain.com>: stored mail into mailbox 'INBOX/&-BEIENQRBBEI- And folder .INBOX.&-BEIENQRBBEI- appears in users maildir. This folder can't be unencoded by mail-client program and user see exactly "&-BEIENQRBBEI-" under INBOX directory(also normaly encoded directory "&BEIENQRBBEI-" --> "русс" displays correct). Something breaks encoding and adds sing "-" to all words in utf encoded directory names. I can't tell exactly when this problem appear, but I remember that I have tested delivery to russian directories by sieve scripts and all worked fine. My current dovecot installation is 1.2.2, dovecot-sieve-0.1.9 and managesieve-0.11.7

The only thing this change did was to make it more difficult for programmers to remember how functions' error handling should be done. In both APIs the success is indicated by returning 0, which makes it especially difficult to notice when it's being used wrong. If they really had to change this, it would have been much better to both set errno and return -error, that way it would have allowed also 2/3 of the old style error checks: if (posix_fallocate(..) < 0) perror() // works if (posix_fallocate(..) != 0) perror() // works if (posix_fallocate(..) == -1) perror() // doesn't work Now none of them work. I did also a quick google code search for posix_fallocate and found several other programs that handle the error wrong. And I'm sure it's only going to grow. Oh well, maybe some day gcc and libc add some features to catch at least the < 0 and == -1 usage (which would already work if posix_fallocate() had been specified to return unsigned int, not int).

[Dovecot] AIX and posix_fallocate
by Ralf Becker 30 Jul '09

30 Jul '09

Hi, AIX's implementation of posix_fallocate is a little bit, let me say, peculiar. Attached is a patch to "fix" (=work around) this. Without you'll see this in the logs: Jul 28 01:17:41 trevi mail:err|error dovecot: IMAP(beckerr): posix_fallocate() failed: File exists Jul 28 01:17:41 trevi mail:err|error dovecot: IMAP(beckerr): file_set_size() failed with mbox file /u/f0/rzuser/beckerr/Mail/Ham: File exists Funny, isn't it? This is what it should be: Jul 28 01:17:41 trevi mail:err|error dovecot: IMAP(beckerr): posix_fallocate() failed: Operation not supported on socket Jul 28 01:17:41 trevi mail:err|error dovecot: IMAP(beckerr): file_set_size() failed with mbox file /u/f0/rzuser/beckerr/Mail/Ham: Operation not supported on socket The problem is, that errno is not correcly set, when posix_fallocate returns EOPNOTSUPP (="Operation not supported on socket"). In this case the return code has to be checked rather than errno. When patched dovecot handles err==EOPNOTSUPP the same way like errno==EINVAL on Solaris. A note for all AIX Admins: Without APAR IZ48778: POSIX_FALLOCATE() FAILS WITH ERROR-25(ENOTTY) resp. IZ46961: POSIX_FALLOCATE() FAILS WITH ERROR-25(ENOTTY) APPLIES TO AIX 5300-06 you don't even get EOPNOTSUPP: posix_fallocate fails with NOTTY. So you have to install one of this fixes to make the patch work. Ralf -- ______________________________________________________________________ Dipl.-Inform.

[Dovecot] lock files causing time outs with Thunderbird
by CJ Keist 30 Jul '09

30 Jul '09

I have dovecot 1.1.16 running on Solaris 10. We are seeing problem with lock files taking forever to be removed after opening a email folder like Trash with several thousand messages in them. We use mbox format. All users inbox's are local to the mail server, and all other users mail folders are stored on a separate file server mounted via NFS. I see no problems with the NFS mounts. cd'ing into the mount points, listing files and viewing files a perform with now visible delays. Is there something I can do in the config file to speed things up? Here is the config file: # 1.1.16: /userM/mail-services/dovecot/etc/dovecot.conf Warning: fd limit 256 is lower than what Dovecot can use under full load (more than 3072).

[Dovecot] imap, locks, and dovecot
by Mauricio Tavares 30 Jul '09

30 Jul '09

Let's say I have two computers -- a desktop and a laptop -- setup to check email on my postfix/dovecot/mailscanner box by using imap. Now, both machines use thunderbird and have a filter in that mail client to move emails that have a certain to: address (an alias, like support(a)domain.com) to a mail directory. The desktop is setup to check for mail every minute while the laptop initially is told to do the same. So, I send an email to the said address. dovecot (1.1.7) puts it in the inbox. thunderbird in one of those machines sees it and moves it to the, say, support folder. Then, another copy of the same mail is created and placed in the same folder. I then begin increasing the time the laptop waits before checking mails. Up to 5 minutes I am still having the double email issue, but if I the laptop to wait 10 minutes I only have one copy of the said email. That makes me think both clients are seeing the same email and moving it at the same time. I do not know the imap commands being used but it sure seems that there is not some kind of locking system for the mail files (I use maildir) to make sure only one program is accessing the said email. Am I correct? Is there a way around that?

[Dovecot] Filtering with Public Namespaces and Sieve Plugin
by Thomas Leuxner 30 Jul '09

30 Jul '09

Hi, after upgrading to Dovecot 1.2x including the rewritten Sieve plugin replacing 'cmusieve', messages which have formerly been filed to a "Public/Mailing-List" maildir are no longer filtered correctly. The sieve script itself is included in the user's personal-script. The messages are dropped to the INBOX rather than the "Public Namespace Maildir". Log's don't give a hint (at least to me). The documentation says the personal script should automatically fetch the include, and compile it in the users home...

[Dovecot] sieve redirect action
by Nikita Koshikov 30 Jul '09

30 Jul '09

Hello Stephan, First of all, thank you for dovecot-sieve implementation. I see that you are adding X-Sieve header to all outgoing e-mail in cmd-redirect.c /* Prepend sieve version header (should not affect signatures) */ rfc2822_header_field_write(f, "X-Sieve", SIEVE_IMPLEMENTATION); How do you look at adding one more header, for example X-Sieve-Forward-From: Now, when redirect action is in use - mail forwards using sendmail command line interface. The problem that there is no suitable way to know which user's script has generate redirect. Received: header may contain envelope receiver but this is valid if only 1 "rcpt to:" command was specified on SMTP session. This invokes problem when forwarding mail to non-local domains, breaking such things like SPF. I'd like to setup SRS for fixing this, but I don't know sender("sieve local user") mail. Adding one header with valid local user e-mail address will fix this. Google add 2 headers for this - X-Forwarded-To: and X-Forwarded-For: . What do you think about this ?

Re: [Dovecot] Some people asked me lately about how professional Dovecot is.
by Stewart Dean 30 Jul '09

I purely love that kind of crap. As if presentations meant anything, as if there aren't all kinds of scholarly work about theoretical perfect world algorithms and conceptual systems that will never be implemented and are as practical and effective as wings on a pig. Please. I'm reminded of the story about how, during the American Civil War, when the North had finally, after years of ignominious defeats, gotten a general would could fight and win a battle, General Grant. A fussy old lady approached President Lincoln and complained loudly that Grant was a drunk. Lincoln blinked at the woman, then said, "Ma'am, if you'll be so kind as to find out what kind of whiskey Grant drinks, I'll send a case of it to all the other generals." Dovecot Works. That's all anyone needs to know. Plus it has a towering wizard of a developer and an avid, engaged and endlessly helpful community. -- ==== Once upon a time, the Internet was a friendly, neighbors-helping-neighbors small town, and no one locked their doors. Now it's like an apartment in Bed-Stuy: you need three heavy duty pick-proof locks, one of those braces that goes from the lock to the floor, and bars on the windows.... ==== Stewart Dean, Unix System Admin, Bard College, New York 12504 sdean(a)bard.edu voice: 845-758-7475, fax: 845-758-7035

[Dovecot] problem with disable_plaintext_auth

Hi, I am using dovecot with postfix for authentication. Everything (TLS/SSL, authentication) is working fine, except that when I set: disable_plaintext_auth = yes I still can authenticate with plain text on a no TLS/SSL session: 20 mail2.cs.ait.ac.th ESMTP Postfix (2.6.2) EHLO [192.41.170.57] 250-mail2.cs.ait.ac.th 250-PIPELINING 250-SIZE 10240000 250-VRFY 250-ETRN 250-STARTTLS 250-AUTH PLAIN LOGIN 250-AUTH=PLAIN LOGIN 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES 250-8BITMIME 250 DSN AUTH PLAIN XXXX 235 2.7.0 Authentication successful My dovecot configuration is: # 1.1.16: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf # OS: FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE-p2 amd64 base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/ protocols: none ssl_listen: * ssl_ca_file: /usr/local/ssl/ca/ait-itserv.crt ssl_cert_file: /usr/local/ssl/crt/mail2.cs.ait.ac.th.crt ssl_key_file: /usr/local/ssl/key/mail2.cs.ait.ac.th.key ssl_cipher_list: ALL:!LOW:!SSLv2 login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_chroot: no login_greeting_capability: yes verbose_proctitle: yes first_valid_uid: 1000 first_valid_gid: 1000 mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: mbox:~/mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u imap_client_workarounds: delay-newmail netscape-eoh tb-extra-mailbox-sep auth default: mechanisms: plain login username_format: %Ln verbose: yes debug: yes passdb: driver: ldap args: /usr/local/etc/dovecot-ldap.conf passdb: driver: passwd args: blocking=yes 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 Any help is welcome.

[Dovecot] sieve 0.1.8 raw backtrace
by jsechser＠gmx.ch 30 Jul '09

30 Jul '09

hi, I had two problems with deliver / sieve. First one is not reproducible anymore. Im using debian unstable (amd64), often dist-upgraded, with some experimental stuff too (wine i think). The first basically triggered a backtrace when confronted an email with spammassassins report headers prepended. (user_prefs: report_safe 0) However i dont have that backtrace anymore, sorry. The second poped up only later as i began to investigate more the first, a few days later. Now my entire sieve script seemed broken suddenly. After some time i narrowed it down to one offending line: >require ["fileinto","regex"]; > >if address :regex "to" ["m-a-test(a)test\\.ch","m-a-members(a)test\\.ch", \ >"m-a-region(a)test\\.ch","m-a-sig(a)test\\.ch"] { > fileinto "Test"; > stop; >} if i remove even one of the regex tests, then this script will not make deliver or sieve_test go panic. here the backtrace: 2009-07-29 18:15:37 deliver(xxx): Panic: pool_data_stack_realloc(): stack frame changed 2009-07-29 18:15:37 deliver(xxx): Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver [0x496bc2] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver(default_fatal_handler+0x34) [0x496cc4] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver [0x496346] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver [0x4a18fb] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver [0x494185] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver(buffer_write_zero+0xe5) [0x494a55] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda/lib90_sieve_plugin.so [0x7f444ca98ff2] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda/lib90_sieve_plugin.so(sieve_match_value+0xb0) [0x7f444ca8ea10] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda/lib90_sieve_plugin.so(sieve_address_match+0xe3) [0x7f444ca8e5f3] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda/lib90_sieve_plugin.so [0x7f444ca9291b] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda/lib90_sieve_plugin.so(sieve_interpreter_continue+0x97) [0x7f444ca89307] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda/lib90_sieve_plugin.so(sieve_interpreter_run+0x48) [0x7f444ca894f8] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda/lib90_sieve_plugin.so [0x7f444ca96716] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda/lib90_sieve_plugin.so(sieve_execute+0x3d) [0x7f444ca9698d] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda/lib90_sieve_plugin.so [0x7f444ca7dc8a] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver(main+0xf5e) [0x41d0fe] -> /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe6) [0x7f444ceea5c6] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver [0x41b029] I hope this helps cheers

[Dovecot] v1.2.2 released
by Timo Sirainen 29 Jul '09

29 Jul '09

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/dovecot-1.2.2.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/dovecot-1.2.2.tar.gz.sig Found and fixes several v1.2-specific bugs. Hopefully it's now stable for most people's usage. * GSSAPI: More changes to authentication. Hopefully good now. * lazy_expunge plugin: Drop \Deleted flag when moving message. + dovecot -n/-a now outputs also lda settings. + dovecot.conf !include now supports globs (e.g. !include /etc/dovecot/*.conf). Based on patch by Thomas Guthmann. + acl: Support spaces in user/group identifiers. + shared mailboxes: If only %%n is specified in prefix, default to current user's domain. - Dovecot master process could hang if it received signals too rapidly. - Fixed "corrupted index cache file" errors (and perhaps others) caused by e.g. IMAP's FETCH BODY[] command. - IMAP: When QRESYNC is enabled, don't crash when a new mail is received while IDLEing. - IMAP: FETCH X-* parameters weren't working. - Maildir++ quota: Quota was sometimes updated wrong when it was being recalculated. - Searching quoted-printable message body internally converted "_" characters to spaces and didn't match search keys with "_". - Messages in year's first/last day may have had broken timezones with OSes not having struct tm->tm_gmtoff (e.g. Solaris). - virtual plugin: If another session adds a new mailbox to index, don't crash.

[Dovecot] dovecot-1.2.2+sieve 0.1.9: sieve issues with (global?) includes
by Tom Hendrikx 29 Jul '09

29 Jul '09

Hi, After upgrading from dovecot 1.1 to dovecot 1.2.2 and the new sieve implementation (0.1.9), I'm having some strange problems. I'm including some general purpose scripts into my user script from sieve_global_dir. After some tests it seems that ths scripts get executed at random: sometimes the mail gets stored in the correct dir, and sometimes it goes to inbox. This also happens while using the same compiled .svbin file. Another indication that something is wrong with the compiled .svbin is output of sieved (see below). Running sieved on the compiled test{1,2,3}.svbin files gives regular output. Any ideas what could be causing this? user script: =============================== require ["include"]; include :global "test1.sieve"; include :global "test2.sieve"; include :global "test3.sieve"; keep; =============================== /etc/dovecot/sieve/test1.sieve: =============================== require ["fileinto"]; if header :contains "Subject" "test1" { fileinto "sieve_test"; stop; } =============================== /etc/dovecot/sieve/test2.sieve: =============================== require ["fileinto"]; if header :contains "Subject" "test2" { fileinto "sieve_test"; stop; } =============================== /etc/dovecot/sieve/test3.sieve: =============================== require ["fileinto"]; if header :contains "Subject" "test3" { fileinto "sieve_test"; stop; } =============================== Log output with mail_debug=yes: =============================== #

[Dovecot] Random flags appearing on messages
by Michael M. Slusarz 29 Jul '09

29 Jul '09

Not reproducible every time, but every so often, after viewing an unseen message, I am seeing the first non-system flag set on the message without an intervening STORE call. Here's an example: 2 EXAMINE "XXX" (QRESYNC (1165391112 78 12160:12162,12168:12171,12173,12178,12183,12191,12360,12431,12560,12762,12765,13037,13089,13094,13196,13457,13460,13495,13548,13549,13561,13590,13597,13598)) * FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft impflag0 impflag1) * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS ()] Read-only mailbox. ... 7 UID FETCH 13608 (ENVELOPE FLAGS RFC822.SIZE BODY.PEEK[HEADER.FIELDS (LIST-POST X-PRIORITY)]) * 30 FETCH (UID 13608 FLAGS (\Recent) ... On the next access: 2 SELECT "XXX" (QRESYNC (1165391112 79 12160:12162,12168:12171,12173,12178,12183,12191,12360,12431,12560,12762,12765,13037,13089,13094,13196,13457,13460,13495,13548,13549,13561,13590,13597,13598,13608)) * FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft impflag0 impflag1) * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft impflag0 impflag1 \*)] Flags permitted. ... 3 UID FETCH 13608 (BODY[HEADER]) * 30 FETCH (UID 13608 FLAGS (\Seen \Recent impflag0) BODY[HEADER] {2529} ... As can be seen, impflag0 has been magically set somehow. Stranger still, dovecot won't let you unset the flag (this might have something to do with QRESYNC since, if I run this command without the UNCHANGEDSINCE parameter, it will unset the flag): 4 UID STORE 13608 (UNCHANGEDSINCE 82) -FLAGS (impflag0) 4 OK Store completed. FYI, I am using dovecot 1.2.1 on archlinux (they haven't upgraded the package to 1.2.2 yet, but I didn't see anything in the 1.2.2 release notes that leads me to believe this has been fixed). michael

[Dovecot] High Availability strategies
by Joseba Torre 29 Jul '09

29 Jul '09

Hi, we have a medium setup (8000 pop and imap users using almost every available client, 800GB of stored mails using maildir on a Celerra NFS server, with index files on local disks, and procmail for local delivery), being served by a Dell PowerEdge 2850 (2GB RAM and dual P4 Xeon 3,2GHz). Our current not-so-high availability setup is based on a similar server with the same setup and a easy but manual process to switch from one server to another. We are thinking about setting up some kind of serious high availability, but for every strategy we think about some problems appear, and I'd like to hear your opinions about them: - The recommended setup, with each user being sent always to the same server, is not possible because our load balancers (Cisco Catalyst 6000) can't do that. - We could put both servers behind the load balancer, and keep local index files on each server. Usually the same ip we'll be redirected to the same server, so few problems will arise. When a user is sent to a new server, index will be rebuilt so performance will be bad but we should not expect other problems, right? - We could also put the index files on a nfs share. No problems, but pretty bad performance. - We could also get more ram for the servers and keep indices in memory. How can we compare these solutions? Apart from performance, are other problems expected? Using deliver instead of procmail could improve performance? - We've also thought about some more or less weird setups, like setting up a GFS filesystem for the index files, or setting up a proxy on every server which redirect users to their fixed server, but they seem too complex for few advantages. Any recommendations? How are you doing this? -- Joseba Torre. Vicegerencia de TICs, área de Explotación

[Dovecot] Stuck with dovecot-sieve and horde-ingo ...
by Stefan G. Weichinger 29 Jul '09

29 Jul '09

Hello, dovecot-users ... as you may read at http://lists.horde.org/archives/horde/Week-of-Mon-20090706/037786.html I am stuck getting dovecot-sieve working with the ingo-application of the horde-framework. To me it seems as if ingo doesn't even trigger any request/command to managesieve ... I set "mail_debug=yes" in the managesieve-section of dovecot.conf but don't see any errors there, in fact not even loglines in /var/log/mail ... Any way to increase the loglevel here? Apache also doesn't log any errors. I am able to contact managesieve via telnet or even thunderbird's sieve-plugin. I edited the relevant backends.php over and over again, substituting, starting from scratch etc ... Could someone maybe give me some hint on how to proceed? I don't know if the problem is with dovecot or ingo or the underlying php/perl/something-stuff ... I currently use these releases: dovecot-1.2-sieve-0.1.8 dovecot-1.2-managesieve-0.11.7 dovecot-1.2.1 The server is some older Suse 10.1 ... php5-5.1.2-29.45, apache2-2.2.0-21.7, Horde Groupware Webmail Edition 1.2 # pear5 list Installed packages, channel pear.php.net: ========================================= Package Version State Archive_Tar 1.3.1 stable Console_Getopt 1.2 stable DB 1.7.12 stable Date 1.4.7 stable Log 1.9.11 stable Mail 1.1.14 stable Net_Sieve 1.1.6 stable Net_Socket 1.0.9 stable PEAR 1.4.6 stable XML_RPC 1.5.1 stable I would appreciate any input on this as this issue now already is unsolved for weeks now. And as always that is one of the features the customer wants first ;-) Aside from this dovecot is working great here, thanks ! Stefan

Hi all, ok, can someone tell me which header fields that the "Sender" function in sieve looks at ??? I've created a sieve rule to move a mail to a directory that looks like this : # rule:[File Message] if anyof (address :contains "Sender" "Dude") { fileinto "TestFolder"; } And the emails headers look like this : Received: (qmail 5811 invoked by uid 100); 28 Jul 2009 22:33:56 -0000 X-Sieve: Dovecot Sieve 0.1.9 Delivered-To: xxxxxx-xxxxxx(a)xxxxxx.com Received: (qmail 5581 invoked from network); 28 Jul 2009 22:33:53 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO mx1.securemailscan.com) (209.132.1.198) by mda1.scaledsystems.com with SMTP; 28 Jul 2009 22:33:53 -0000 X-Envelope-From: xxxxx(a)yahoo.com X-Envelope-To: xxxxxx(a)xxxxxx.com Received: From web35801.mail.mud.yahoo.com (66.163.179.170) by mx1.securemailscan.com (MAILFOUNDRY) id uh1v8HvGEd6coQAw for xxxxxx(a)xxxxxx.com; Tue, 28 Jul 2009 22:33:52 -0000 (GMT) Received: (qmail 76116 invoked by uid 60001); 28 Jul 2009 22:33:52 -0000 DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=yahoo.com; s=s1024; t=1248820432; bh=bMaME6CgqoU7EGtJwkX2i9rjL4ONpP79bbfuft4bEok=; h=Message-ID:X-YMail-OSG:Received:X-RocketSRV:X-Mailer:Date:From:Reply-To:Subject:To:MIME-Version:Content-Type; b=as+pQdsUMeD/yiXAxceO3lYtDm/vCgjqDH1AS1OsfMfQITJV7YMRJSqBst1m4mHIgC0xyShetRIo6o3FEeLxDDOHYKUhy3V31MrS+0d7B+us4Nrjft7OZu3zVPIS87fDWoF6hM9dc9eVXTu4Kuj0a1bul0XwKIRwXqn+AfXepYg= DomainKey-Signature:a=rsa-sha1; q=dns; c=nofws; s=s1024; d=yahoo.com; h=Message-ID:X-YMail-OSG:Received:X-RocketSRV:X-Mailer:Date:From:Reply-To:Subject:To:MIME-Version:Content-Type; b=kHyfgMDzLWxu70JYhQk6KYifrtYSi7jV4T7UqqQ6XfSN+WZeTRlZ4fK6R+nb1ykwTjmp2pROJAPYgHooRPs3MaYMtx54f0+7IL8HjP0c2wqiYIy++6pFzc+mk8j+72OJMBcxMhDTPtV/i52Uu0bDEl5+DbU6QXrQhYbak6BdzLM=; Message-ID: <213398.63258.qm(a)web35801.mail.mud.yahoo.com> X-YMail-OSG: nmd_HZwVM1lT6TNyXWr2RcbN36VCejKyF4bZMN8urulX03szfpVuJD36F652_focw.1y1PwSPvcfGlWkoBsq5kEb9H_R.HWV.kcpvFe1pZGC4oWcj6Cc4uO737j.52s0kwXmru.WZEdJi..tsbkjg.8f3y_Lc4wJRFORqhFHjMoKG17xhVM8_z1olhpu_FtyrOVvTuoqaapAk3ioUOGTyEYp52oHRPQAx9TuiKojStPmtmq0AkGjDMybhQeciqJSvFJcrF6KqdL5wEjBX4G1bGGXGD61RYzUaJNGMX8FQ.tJqPEKSI1vlBU- Received: from [76.176.154.181] by web35801.mail.mud.yahoo.com via HTTP; Tue, 28 Jul 2009 15:33:52 PDT X-RocketSRV: showStationery=1248820330364@dclient.mail.yahoo.com,1248820330363@dclient.mail.yahoo.com,1248820330362@dclient.mail.yahoo.com X-Mailer: YahooMailRC/1358.22 YahooMailWebService/0.7.289.15 Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2009 15:33:52 -0700 (PDT) From: Dude Crush <xxxxxxx(a)yahoo.com> Reply-To: Dude Crush <xxxxxxx(a)yahoo.com> Subject: test from dude 2 To: xxxxxxxx(a)xxxxxxxx.com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="0-948431439-1248820432=:63258" But when the mail is delivered, it goes into the INBOX, and the dovecot message in the log file looks like this : Jul 28 15:33:56 deliver(xxxxxxx(a)xxxxxx.com): Info: sieve: msgid=<213398.63258.qm(a)web35801.mail.mud.yahoo.com>: stored mail into mailbox 'INBOX' So, I'm a little bi stumped as to why it wouldn't pick up "Dude" in any of the sender addresses...

[Dovecot] Expunged emails getting automatically deleted

Hello, So i had this email in my inbox, i moved it to Folder1/tickets/ folder, then i decided to move the same email back to my inbox and when i went to the inbox it wasnt there nor in Folder1/tickets/ folder... I opened a SSH session to the mail server and went to /srv/mail/ vmail/DOMAIN.COM/rventura/Maildir There i did "ll expunged/.INBOX/cur" and it showed me 300+ emails i then did "cat expunged/.INBOX/cur/the email i needed" and it showed me the email contents and since it was the one i needed i then try to do "mv expunged/.INBOX/cur/email-id" and it returned: mv: cannot stat `expunged/.INBOX/cur/ 1248796845.M207411P29102.housigma20,W=6193:2,STab': No such file or directory I do another "ll expunged/.INBOX/cur/" returns total 0.....

[Dovecot] Cannot get plaintext auth working on IMAP or POP
by crunchbytes 28 Jul '09

28 Jul '09

Server: Ubuntu 9.04 desktop edition Dovecot 1.1.11 Issue: I have set dovecot.conf with: disable_plaintext_auth = no but everytime I have a client (Windows Live Mail, ubuntu evolution) connect from the Internet, I have the following type of message: Plaintext authentication disallowed on non-secure (SSL/TLS) connections. in my mail.log, I have: Jul 28 15:09:43 "name" dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (tried to use disabled plaintext auth): rip=x.x.x.x, lip=x.x.x.x Unfortunately I need plaintext auth IMAP. If I VPN in and use IMAPS, it works a treat - but I can't always do this, hence needing plain old IMAP. Any ideas anyone? What am I missing?

[Dovecot] namespaces / list=no crash
by Jernej Porenta 28 Jul '09

28 Jul '09

Hey everyone, I am trying to migrate old UW-IMAP setup to dovecot 1.2.2 using namespaces as recommended for UW-IMAP backwards compatibility: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Namespaces I am trying to use these settings: mail_location = mbox:~/:INBOX=~/.mailbox # default namespace namespace private { separator = / prefix = inbox = yes } # for backwards compatibility: namespace private { separator = / prefix = mail/ hidden = yes list = no # for v1.1+ subscriptions = no } With upper settings, dovecot crashes upon login. (GDB trace is here: http://www2.arnes.si/~krklubsls13/dovecot-gdb.txt) If I change "list = no" to list = yes|children, everything is working fine. This settings were working fine with dovecot 1.1, so I don't know what is the deal... dovecot -n : http://www2.arnes.si/~krklubsls13/dovecot-conf.txt thanks in advance, regards Jernej

It compiles binaries for system from sources using ebuilds. I attach full compile log, can you tell me where stripping appear? There's no -g parameter given to gcc. The emerge overrides CFLAGS by adding -march=i686 etc. stuff in there, which also removes -g parameter. Try to figure out some way to add it back.

[Dovecot] Dovecot broken with newer OpenSSL
by Brad 28 Jul '09

28 Jul '09

After updating my system from OpenSSL 0.9.8j to 0.9.8k Dovecot has stopped functioning properly with TLS sessions. The version of Dovecot does not seem to matter as I tried 1.1.11 - 1.1.14. Other programs using SSL/TLS such as Postfix and lightty still work fine when built with the newer release of OpenSSL. The IMAP client doesn't matter. For the time being I have gone back to .13 linked against older OpenSSL. In the logs I see messages like the following... dovecot: Apr 16 23:12:18 Info: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=2001:470:b01e:3:216:41ff:fe17:6933, lip=2001:470:1d:8c::2, TLS handshaking: Disconnected -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

[Dovecot] Dovecot 1.2.2
by Guy 28 Jul '09

28 Jul '09

Hi, I've just tried upgrading from 1.1.8 to 1.2.2. As soon as the new version was started up the number of imap/pop3 processes began to climb to 800+, where I normally have about 300 or so connections at any given time. The load on the server also climbed to 150+. I've reverted back to 1.1.18, which is running just fine, but is there anything I can do to help trace what was causing the problem? Unfortunately I don't have a clue where to start. Thanks Guy -- Don't just do something...sit there!

[Dovecot] folder in dovecot
by Diego Roversi 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

Hello, I'm quite new to dovecot, and I have some questions about folders. At the moment I've a script that use fetchmail + procmail to get mail from the isp, and save the mail in different folder. The idea is to save mail from different mailing list in different folder. Now I've installed dovecot so i can read mail from different computers, and i want to export all the folders. I start with a simple configuration: root@debian:/home/diego# dovecot -n # 1.1.11: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.30-rc8 armv5tel Ubuntu 9.04 log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: maildir:~/Mail/inbox mail_debug: yes namespace: type: private separator: / location: maildir:~/Mail/inbox inbox: yes list: yes subscriptions: yes namespace: type: private separator: / prefix: openmoko/ location: maildir:~/Mail/openmoko list: yes subscriptions: yes auth default: passdb: driver: passwd-file args: /etc/passwd.dovecot userdb: driver: passwd I use icedove (thunderbird) to connect to the dovecot server and I see the two folder. But openmoko one looks empty, even if there are more then 10k messages. Without namespaces and setting mail_location pointing to the openmoko folder works, i see the messages of openmoko folder as inbox in icedove. What's wrong? Do you have any suggestion? Thanks in advance, Diego Roversi.

[Dovecot] v1.1.18 released

27 Jul '09

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/dovecot-1.1.18.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/dovecot-1.1.18.tar.gz.sig A few more fixes to v1.1 series. It probably won't have many released left. + dovecot -n/-a now outputs also lda settings. - Maildir++ quota: Quota was sometimes updated wrong when it was being recalculated. - Searching quoted-printable message body internally converted "_" characters to spaces and didn't match search keys with "_". - Messages in year's first/last day may have had broken timezones with OSes not having struct tm->tm_gmtoff (e.g. Solaris).

[Dovecot] Funky quota things
by Guy 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

Hi guys, I already use Dovecot for imap/pop3 with some simple quota options. I'm starting to look at the switch from maildrop to dovecot lda and I'm wondering whether it's possible to do our unusual quota management with the quota plugin. We have the users total quota in MySQL along with a number of grace days (counts up to 7). The amount of space used is stored in maildirsize in the users maildir. What we currently some bits of voodoo which allow the user to go up to 200% of their quota. When they go over 100% they start receiving warnings and their grace days start counting down. If the account is still using over 100% of quota after the 7 days then the 100% quota is enforced so no new mail will be accepted. So is something like this "burst" quota possible in the Dovecot plugin? Thanks Guy -- Don't just do something...sit there!

[Dovecot] Sylpheed-claws and virtual mailboxes
by Thomas Berker 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

Hi! Has someone encountered the following problem? What am I doing wrong or does someone know a workaround? Dovecot 1.2.1 on Debian unstable, two namespaces: namespace private { prefix = location = maildir:~/res/Maildir:LAYOUT=fs inbox = yes list = yes } namespace private { prefix = gtd/ separator = / list = yes location = virtual:~/res/Maildir/gtd:LAYOUT=fs:INBOX=~/res/Maildir/gtd } The problem: cur, tmp, new maildir folders get created within the folder gtd when it is opened by Sylpheed-claws (3.7.1). Subfolders in gtd holding the dovecot-virtual files are not recognised as mail folders at all, they show up but do nothing. Other clients (I have tested thunderbird, evolution) work as expected: they show the folder gtd and the sub-folders perform searches. Thanks in advance, tb

[Dovecot] Problems with ioloop on MacOS
by David Abrahams 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

I've been using the macports version of dovecot, which is 1.1.11, on MacOS 10.5.6 $ /opt/local/sbin/dovecot --exec-mail imap Fatal: kevent(EV_ADD, 0) failed: Operation not supported This version is configured --with-ioloop=kqueue The problem seems to be known, if not understood: http://lists.apple.com/archives/Darwin-userlevel/2008/Dec/msg00010.html However, if I use --with-ioloop=poll, I eventually get IMAP(dave): [9079]: invalid I/O fd 0, callback 0x9330 (not from the above command; it's a little later when Gnus tries to interact with dovecot through the shell) I've been unable to build/install any later versions of dovecot on MacOS. autogen.sh fails like this: ... glibtoolize: putting auxiliary files in `.'. glibtoolize: copying file `./ltmain.sh' glibtoolize: Consider adding `AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4])' to configure.in and glibtoolize: rerunning glibtoolize, to keep the correct libtool macros in-tree. glibtoolize: Consider adding `-I m4' to ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS in Makefile.am. configure.in:281: installing `./config.guess' configure.in:282: required file `./config.rpath' not found configure.in:281: installing `./config.sub' configure.in:5: installing `./install-sh' configure.in:5: installing `./missing' src/auth/Makefile.am: installing `./depcomp' autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1 -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com

[Dovecot] [BUG] Incorrect maildir quota value after maildirsize creation
by Adam Osuchowski 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

I found a problem with maildir++ quota. When dovecot creates maildirsize file, it counts quota wrong. This is, how I reproduce a situation on version 1.2.0: First, I remove maildirsize file: # cd /var/mail/test # rm -f maildirsize # ls -la total 32 drwx--S--- 5 mbox mbox 4096 Jul 12 20:45 . drwxrwsr-x 3 root mbox 4096 Jul 12 20:39 .. drwx--S--- 2 mbox mbox 4096 Jul 9 20:45 cur -rw------- 1 mbox mbox 491 Jul 12 20:45 dovecot-uidlist -rw------- 1 mbox mbox 8 Jul 12 20:45 dovecot-uidvalidity -rw------- 1 mbox mbox 8536 Jul 12 20:45 dovecot.index.cache -rw------- 1 mbox mbox 284 Jul 12 20:45 dovecot.index.log drwx--S--- 2 mbox mbox 4096 Jul 12 00:58 new drwx--S--- 2 mbox mbox 4096 Jul 12 00:58 tmp I have 8 emails which take 14183471 bytes together: # find cur new -type f | wc -l 8 # find cur new -type f -printf '%s\n' | awk 'END { print a } { a += $0 }' 14183471 Now, I connect to dovecot via POP3 and delete exactly _one_ email which takes 969 bytes. After that, maildirsize file has been created: # ls -la total 48 drwx--S--- 5 mbox mbox 4096 Jul 12 20:50 . drwxrwsr-x 3 root mbox 4096 Jul 12 20:39 .. drwx--S--- 2 mbox mbox 4096 Jul 12 20:50 cur -rw------- 1 mbox mbox 491 Jul 12 20:45 dovecot-uidlist -rw------- 1 mbox mbox 8 Jul 12 20:45 dovecot-uidvalidity -rw------- 1 mbox mbox 8536 Jul 12 20:50 dovecot.index.cache -rw------- 1 mbox mbox 532 Jul 12 20:50 dovecot.index.log -rw------- 1 mbox mbox 28 Jul 12 20:50 maildirsize drwx--S--- 2 mbox mbox 4096 Jul 9 00:58 new drwx--S--- 2 mbox mbox 4096 Jul 9 00:58 tmp # cat maildirsize 5242880S 14182502 7 -969 -1 So, maildirsize says, that there should be 7-1=6 emails which should take 14182502-969=14181533 bytes together. In fact, there are 7 emails (I delete only one of eight emails) which take 14182502 bytes together (deleted email taked 969 bytes): # find cur new -type f | wc -l 7 # find cur new -type f -printf '%s\n' | awk 'END { print a } { a += $0 }' 14182502 I figured, that dovecot after physically file removal, calls function maildir_quota_update(), which calls maildirquota_refresh() first (which in turn recalculate quota with new values), and then calls maildirsize_update(), which additionally and incorrectly decreases quota value. Regards, Adam.

[Dovecot] [PATCH] include parameters can handle globbing
by Thomas GUTHMANN 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

Hey guys, This patch will allow you to include different configuration files in the main dovecot.conf by using globbing [1] (like Apache for instance). !include = conf.d/*.conf !include_try = /etc/dovecot/extra* So with this you can split the dovecot.conf in different smaller configuration files. It's more the debian way to do that. But it's very handy if you have to generate dynamically parts of dovecot.conf based on a centralized main configuration (imagine you have 10 servers and you want to change the default quota for instance, do a script which update that based on the data contained in SQL/LDAP/XML/whatever). I designed this for my personal use with dovecot 1.2.1. It does the job. But I warn you :) My code may hurt your eyes. If so either close them or improve/fix my code or ... "Hare Krishna" [2] :) The include features has been done and almost kept hidden by Timo :) I've just add the globbing feature to !include and !include_try. The patch will modify - src/lib-settings/settings.c - dovecot-example.conf $ cd dovecot-1.2.1 $ patch -p1 < includepatch.diff It has been test with GNU/Linux Debian dunno if it compiles on FreeBSD/AIX/MacOSX but everything is POSIX compliant so... it should :) Cheers, Thomas [1]: Thanks Aria for the tip about the glob() function. It's cleaner. [2]: Rumor has it that Hare Krishna means hire a consultant in Hindi.

[Dovecot] Newbie: unable to access mailbox more than once
by Matt Petoe 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

Hello, I'm using dovecot as a mail relay so that I can back up my providers IMAP mail locally. I'm impressed how easy this was to set up, but I'm having a quirk that I would like help with, if possible. There are many weak links in my set-up chain, if you will, but I think I've narrowed the problem. I'll describe my set-up anyway. I'm running dovecot 1.1.4 on ubuntu 8.10. I have a shared NAS drive running a NFS server. I have chosen to store the .indexes and .control directories on the NAS also, since I want a set-up that will remain backed up and easily replicated if I (accidentally) erase the ubuntu install in the future. I'm using imapsync to copy messages from my email provider. It works once only, and subsequent attempts seem to hang when accessing any local dovecot mailbox folders that were changed last time. I have succeeded in using Thunderbird to access the dovecot mailboxes once. I know the paths are being found, because I can 'list' mailboxes when I telnet locally: b list "" * * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "Trash" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "Drafts" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "indexes" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "control" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "Junk" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "Sent" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "Trash-1000" b OK List completed. However, a 'select' command will only work for empty folders (such as .Trash). If I try to select a full folder such as ".Sent" then the process just hangs. The logs don't mention anything interesting, even though I have enabled debug_on and auth_debug. However, I attached a trace to the 'imap' process and got something interesting. I think maybe the lock process is failing for some reason? Here's a snip of the failure when selecting the .Sent folder: 12:00:21.190011 gettimeofday({1248141621, 190099}, NULL) = 0 12:00:21.190503 read(0, "f select Sent\r\n", 4034) = 15 12:00:21.190906 stat64("/mnt/Mail/.Sent/tmp", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0700, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 12:00:21.241561 stat64("/mnt/Mail/.indexes/.Sent", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0700, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 12:00:21.248325 stat64("/mnt/Mail/.Sent/dovecot-shared", 0xbf86c6c8) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 12:00:21.248847 time(NULL) = 1248141621 12:00:21.249060 open("/mnt/Mail/.indexes/.Sent/dovecot.index.log", O_RDWR|O_LARGEFILE) = 7 12:00:21.286953 fstat64(7, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0600, st_size=26472, ...}) = 0 12:00:21.287423 pread64(7, "\1\0\30\0\264:dJ\4\0\0\0\3\0\0\0\\\200\0\0\374?dJ", 24, 0) = 24 12:00:21.287696 stat64("/mnt/Mail/.indexes/.Sent/dovecot.index.log.2", 0xbf86c5ac) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 12:00:21.288070 open("/mnt/Mail/.indexes/.Sent/dovecot.index.log.2", O_RDWR|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 12:00:21.288614 open("/mnt/Mail/.indexes/.Sent/dovecot.index", O_RDWR|O_LARGEFILE) = 9 12:00:21.296814 alarm(60) = 0 12:00:21.297181 fcntl64(9, F_SETLKW64, {type=F_RDLCK, whence=SEEK_SET, start=0, len=0} I have set the locks to dotlock_try followed by fcntl.

[Dovecot] lazy expunge - how to unset deleted imap flag
by Colo Colo 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

Hello, I am using dovecot 1.1.13 in debian lenny with exim4 and I have Outlook 2007 clients. I have configured lazy expunge plugin. User marks messages in INBOX for deletion then click "delete messages from server" then the messages are moved to .EXPUNGED folder which is correct but they are still marked with IMAP deleted flag which is bad cause when user marks another messages in INBOX for deletion and click again on "delete messages from server" the messages which were in .EXPUNGE are gone forever. Is there any possibility to change this behavior i.e. instead from: move messages tagged for deletion to .EXPUNGE folder to: move messages tagged for deletion to .EXPUNGE folder and UNSET deleted flag ? Thanx

Hi, I'm new to Dovecot 1.2 and I'd like to replace uw-imap. I'd like to have the following setup: - Personal mailboxes using maildir for all users (no problem) - Public mailboxes for certain people who are in special groups from /etc/group localed in /var/spool/public as a maildir with subfolders for each group (which should only be visible for that group and also secured by filesystem group permissions). At best those folders should be visible for the users below "shared"-folder or parallel to the inbox. The public mailboxes should be secured by custom ACLs (so that not all ppl. can create new folders and so on). How can I make Dovecot authenticate against pam and use groups in /etc/group? When I activate the ACL plugin all public or shared mailboxes are hidden. How can I avoid this for the public mailboxes? Thanks in advance. Sven

[Dovecot] Search fails on underscores in quoted-printable
by Andreas M. Kirchwitz 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

Hi folks, currently I'm running Dovecot 1.2.1. Compiled from source on Fedora 10 Linux 32 Bit (all patches). Clients are Pine 4.64, Thunderbird 2.0.0.22 and Mutt 1.5.20 (using "=b" for server-side searching). When a message contains the text "under_score" and I let the server search for it, Dovecot does not find it in messages with a Content-Transfer-Encoding of "quoted-printable". It works perfectly well with messages without Content-Transfer-Encoding. If I replace the underscore with a space (search for "under score"), it magically matches on "under_score" (no space but underscore). Looks like something goes wrong with the encoding/decoding of quoted-printable (sorry, haven't tried with base64). Example: Dovecot does not find "under_score" | Date: Fri, 24 Jul 2009 02:08:45 +0200 | From: "Andreas M. Kirchwitz" <amk(a)krell.zikzak.de> | To: "Andreas M. Kirchwitz" <amk(a)krell.zikzak.de> | MIME-Version: 1.0 | Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 | Content-Disposition: inline | Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable | | test for under_score and dovecot search (=E4=F6=FC=DF) Example: Dovecot find's "under_score" without problems | Date: Fri, 24 Jul 2009 02:10:26 +0200 | From: "Andreas M. Kirchwitz" <amk(a)krell.zikzak.de> | To: "Andreas M. Kirchwitz" <amk(a)krell.zikzak.de> | MIME-Version: 1.0 | Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii | Content-Disposition: inline | | test for under_score and dovecot search (1234) The problem is not new to Dovecot 1.2.1 but exists in the 1.1 series as well. Greetings, Andreas

[Dovecot] Handling of file "maildirsize"
by Frank Elsner 26 Jul '09

26 Jul '09

Hello, My "exim" is doing the deliveries, "dovecot" handles POP/IMAP. Exim Log shows: 2009-07-24 14:03:40 1MUJUy-0001Jr-B0 == user(a)domain.tu-berlin.de R=maildir_user T=maildir_delivery defer (2): No such file or directory: while opening or reading /var/Mail/Boxes/u/user/maildirsize 2009-07-24 14:20:32 1MUJUy-0001Jr-B0 => user <user(a)domain.tu-berlin.de> F=<user(a)domain.tu-berlin.de> R=maildir_user T=maildir_delivery S=2061 QT=16m52s DT=0s The user was active using IMAP at 14:03:4*. Therefor there must be a short period of time where no maildirsize exists. Can this really happen? If yes, could this behaviour be changed? Kind regards, Frank Elsner

[Dovecot] Dovecot 1.2, quota and LDAP
by Stian Jordet 26 Jul '09

26 Jul '09

Hi! I'm in the progress of upgrading from Dovecot 1.0.15 to 1.2.1. This has gone pretty smooth. I just have one question to check wether I have understood the documentation right. I have both system users and virtual users. That's easy to do when using LDAP for userdb. The system users use filesystems quota, the virtual users use maildir quota. I achieved this using the following in LDAP: "fs:" (for system users, obviously) and "maildir:storage=2048000" for virtual users. This has worked fine for years. But after reading the documentation, it seems I now have to use two ldap-fields to achieve the same thing? One "quota" and one "quota_rule"? Is this correct? It's of course not impossible, but it's kinda a hassle to hand craft a new schema, deploy, and update all the user's entries. If my users didn't have two kind of quotas, it would be easy, but with two quota methods, I don't see any other way than to use two ldap-fields. Which I hope I don't have to :) Thanks. Regards, Stian

[Dovecot] configure performs checks for not needed sasl headers
by Pascal Volk 26 Jul '09

26 Jul '09

Hi, I'm always surprised when I see output from configure like checking for really_not_needed.h... no The configure script is always 'checking sasl.h usability' even when the --without-ldap option was specified. The attached patch checks the presence of sasl.h / sasl/sasl.h only when using the --with-ldap option && all required LDAP headers and libs are available.

[Dovecot] Several errors
by FraNL 25 Jul '09

25 Jul '09

Hi, Running OS: CentOS 5.3 (2.6.18-128.2.1.el5) 1. My Linux distribution comes with Dovecot 1.0.7. After trying to make it running, I encoutnered many problems. So I decided to upgrade to 1.2.1. When running dovecot -r from CLI, it returns with version 1.2.1. But at the top of the log file it says: Info: Dovecot v1.0.7 starting up So I am not sure which version I am running. That's the first problem. The other two problems I am having were also actual before updating to 1.2.1: 2. Every minute, the following lines (except for the timestamps, which are different, ofcourse) are being added to my log file: dovecot: Jul 24 23:54:24 Error: imap-login: USER environment missing dovecot: Jul 24 23:54:24 Error: imap-login: USER environment missing dovecot: Jul 24 23:54:24 Error: child 3712 (login) returned error 89 dovecot: Jul 24 23:54:24 Error: child 3713 (login) returned error 89 dovecot: Jul 24 23:54:24 Error: imap-login: USER environment missing dovecot: Jul 24 23:54:24 Error: child 3714 (login) returned error 89 3.

[Dovecot] Are host names a secret?
by Timo Sirainen 24 Jul '09

24 Jul '09

Some time ago I added the ability for IMAP clients to fetch messages' GUIDs using FETCH X-GUID command. Because of a bug it wasn't working in 1.2.0 or 1.2.1, but I've fixed it now. But now I'm starting to wonder: With Maildirs the GUIDs are the maildir base filenames, which contain host names. Is it a bad idea to expose them to users?

[Dovecot] Maildir from offlineimap, INBOX folder created
by Ng Oon-Ee 24 Jul '09

24 Jul '09

Hi, I'm using dovecot to serve up a Maildir created/served by offlineimap. The layout is typical (as far as I know) of maildirs, with the root folder having cur, tmp, new, and subfolders being a folder within the root folder. Since I'd previously used Evolution to access this maildir, my subfolders were actual subfolders (separator /). Anyway, it all works spiffingly well, except that I can't see my inbox at all. What happens is that attempting to subscribe to Inbox will create an INBOX folder in the root folder, which is (of course) empty, so I see an empty folder. For completeness, my dovecot -n... # 1.1.17: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.30-ARCH x86_64 ext3 protocols: imap listen: localhost ssl_disable: yes disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login mail_location: maildir:/home/data/Profiles/OfflineIMAP/root:LAYOUT=fs auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd Thanks for the help.

[Dovecot] Problem with sieve scripts including sieve scripts
by Mauricio Tavares 23 Jul '09

23 Jul '09

I have the following global cmusieve scripts defined in /etc/dovecot/sieve, which is owned by the user deliver is run (virtual) as defined in the lda session of dovecot.conf: global-spam.script ====================================== require ["fileinto"]; # Move spam to spam folder if header :contains "X-Spam-Level" "********************" { fileinto "Spam"; # Stop here so that we do not reply on spam stop; } elsif header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" "Yes" { fileinto "Spam"; stop; } global-default.script ==================================== require ["include"]; include :global "global-spam.script"; i.e. all the default script does is call the spam script. I have created the compiled versions using sievec, making sure they are still owned by virtual: mail sieve # ls global-default.script global-spam.script global-vacation.script global-default.scriptc global-spam.scriptc global-vacation.scriptc mail sieve # In the plugins session of dovecot.conf I have defined the path for global scripts (so I can do the include :global thingie) and the path for the default script (just in case user does not have a custom script in the mail directory): plugin { sieve_global_dir = /etc/dovecot/sieve/ global_script_path = /etc/dovecot/sieve/global-default.script } So I send me some certifiable spam from my collection of test spam. This is what I got from the log: Jul 22 14:49:01 mail MailScanner[15047]: New Batch: Scanning 1 messages, 3206 bytes Jul 22 14:49:01 mail MailScanner[15047]: SpamAssassin cache hit for message C04F79F002F.784A8 Jul 22 14:49:01 mail MailScanner[15047]: Spam Checks: Found 1 spam messages Jul 22 14:49:02 mail MailScanner[15047]: Virus and Content Scanning: Starting Jul 22 14:49:02 mail MailScanner[15047]: Requeue: C04F79F002F.784A8 to 304C09F0012 Jul 22 14:49:02 mail postfix/qmgr[14869]: 304C09F0012: from=<raubvogel(a)gmail.com>, size=2518, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Jul 22 14:49:02 mail MailScanner[15047]: Uninfected: Delivered 1 messages Jul 22 14:49:02 mail deliver(raub(a)domain.com): Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/lda Jul 22 14:49:02 mail deliver(raub(a)domain.com): Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/lda/lib90_cmusieve_plugin.so Jul 22 14:49:02 mail dovecot: auth(default): master in: USER 1 raub(a)domain.com service=deliver Jul 22 14:49:02 mail dovecot: auth(default): master out: USER 1 raub(a)domain.com uid=1500 gid=1500 home=/var/spool/vmail/domain.com/raub Jul 22 14:49:02 mail deliver(raub(a)domain.com): auth input: raub(a)domain.com Jul 22 14:49:02 mail deliver(raub(a)domain.com): auth input: uid=1500 Jul 22 14:49:02 mail deliver(raub(a)domain.com): auth input: gid=1500 Jul 22 14:49:02 mail deliver(raub(a)domain.com): auth input: home=/var/spool/vmail/domain.com/raub Jul 22 14:49:02 mail deliver(raub(a)domain.com): maildir: data=/var/spool/vmail/domain.com/raub Jul 22 14:49:02 mail deliver(raub(a)domain.com): maildir++: root=/var/spool/vmail/domain.com/raub, index=, control=, inbox=/var/spool/vmail/domain.com/raub Jul 22 14:49:02 mail deliver(raub(a)domain.com): cmusieve: /var/spool/vmail/domain.com/raub/.dovecot.sieve doesn't exist Jul 22 14:49:02 mail deliver(raub(a)domain.com): cmusieve: Using sieve path: /etc/dovecot/sieve/global-default.script Jul 22 14:49:02 mail deliver(raub(a)domain.com): cmusieve: Executing script /etc/dovecot/sieve/global-default.scriptc Jul 22 14:49:02 mail deliver(raub(a)domain.com): msgid=<000d01ca078a$d13122a0$6400a8c0@chameleonsh>: saved mail to INBOX Jul 22 14:49:02 mail postfix/pipe[15137]: 304C09F0012: to=<raub(a)domain.com>, relay=dovecot, delay=3.4, delays=3.3/0/0/0.1, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered via dovecot service) From what I gathered, mailscanner saw it was spam and tagged it. When the mail got back, postfix gave it to dovecot deliver, which then passed to cmusieve. Now, cmusieve saw user did not have a script defined, Jul 22 14:49:02 mail deliver(raub(a)domain.com): cmusieve: /var/spool/vmail/domain.com/raub/.dovecot.sieve doesn't exist So, it used the default script as it should, Jul 22 14:49:02 mail deliver(raub(a)domain.com): cmusieve: Using sieve path: /etc/dovecot/sieve/global-default.script Jul 22 14:49:02 mail deliver(raub(a)domain.com): cmusieve: Executing script /etc/dovecot/sieve/global-default.scriptc But, instead of calling the spam script, it simply delivered the spam mail to the inbox, Jul 22 14:49:02 mail deliver(raub(a)domain.com): msgid=<000d01ca078a$d13122a0$6400a8c0@chameleonsh>: saved mail to INBOX Why?
