[Dovecot] SSL fields as variables for SQL statements ...
by XhE 11 Sep '08

11 Sep '08

Hi, I was wondering if there is any possibility to access the status if a user has provided a certificate, that has been accepted or not via variables. And further if there is any way to get the value of SSL certificate fields by use variables. I'd like to use those variables in sql statements. I then could assign a single certificate to a user, and make up passdb sql statements, that allow him to access multiple (but not all) mailboxes without the need to issue any further certificates. --- Michael

[Dovecot] How to propelry restore a Maildir
by Thomas Hummel 11 Sep '08

11 Sep '08

Hello, I would like to know what is the proper way to restore a Maildir : Assuming someone has got a foobar/[cur|new|tmp] maildir, loses for some reason its content and that some new mail (seen and/or unseen) comes into that mailbox inbetween (that is before the restore procedure takes place, thus creating the need to merge restored messages and new ones). I'd like to check the following (I don't use deliver but procmail) : 1. the messages filenames are unique in time (meaning that a new message cannot be assigned a name already existing in the backup (the name of an old message), at least for the same mailbox instance : if that's not the case : how can we merge safely ? 2. what naming scheme is used (the left part of the name, before the :2,) ? I've got something like : 1215166123.52887_0.host.dom.ain:2,[...] what are the 1215166123, the 52887 and 0 ? 3. what can we deduce from the last modified date of the file as seen in ls -l ? . when in new/, is it the same as the one in the Received: header or is it when in tmp/ ? . when in cur/, is it the date the client "saw" the message ? What would "saw" mean in that case ? 4. should the dovecot-uidlist and dovecot-keywords be updated after the restore or is it better to let dovecot rearrange them itself ? 5. same question for the index and cache files ?

[Dovecot] Panic in Dovecot 1.1.3: index-mail.c: line 1091: assertion failed: (!mail->data.destroying_stream)
by Peter Eriksson 11 Sep '08

11 Sep '08

Dovecot 1.1.3 Solaris 10 SPARC (Sun Fire T1000) Compiled with Sun Studio 12 compilers. Maildir on NFS Indexes on local disk (UFS). 'dovecot -n' output attached. IMAP process crashes for certain (many, but not all) users when accessing certain folders (in the example below, in crashes when accessing my INBOX, about 1700 mails). I could access other mailboxes without problems. And a simple telnet to the imap port followed by a login works fine. Erased the coredumps (was filling up the system too quickly) so I can't really produce a backtrace right now (had to back down to 1.0.13 again even though that one has another core-dump-generating problem - but that is atleast limited to only one specific user so far). Going to set up a separate test server to test things more without disturbing our normal operations... I started with an empty INDEX directory to make sure there weren't problems with old corrupted indexes.

[Dovecot] Support of client specific flags?
by Steinar Bang 11 Sep '08

11 Sep '08

Gnus use a lot of custom flags to represent the messages state wrt. Gnus. How well are these flags supported in dovecot? How fast are access to them? (Ie. will dovecot have to open the message and parse the headers) Are they supported when using imapsync to transfer messages from a different IMAP server? (I guess I'll find out soon, because I'm using imapsync to transfer messages from a cyrus imap daemon to a dovecot one, as I'm writing this)

Thanks for the patch; I've not seen any issues to do with nfs caching before and we've had this live on very heavily loaded systems for several months now.

[Dovecot] 1.1.3 vs 1.1.2 stability?
by Tomasz K Jarzynka 11 Sep '08

11 Sep '08

Hi, since I've numerous reports of segfaults/crashes/corruptions with Dovecot 1.1.3 with Sieve, I'd like to ask - is 1.1.3 an improvement over 1.1.2 or are there some acknowledged regressions and 1.1.4 is planned to fix that? I'd love to avoid figuring this on a live setup and hope to exploit other admins' courage ;P rgds, -- Tomasz Krzysztof Jarzynka / mob. +48 601 706 601 / HANDLE: TJ950-RIPE Network Information Systems Administrator / tomee(at)genesilico(d-o-t)pl Laboratory of Bioinformatics and Protein Engineering | www.genesilico.pl International Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology | www.iimcb.gov.pl

[Dovecot] NFS performance and 1.1.3 - what can you (unofficially) get away with?
by Jack Stewart 10 Sep '08

10 Sep '08

Hi, Does anyone have experience with bending the NFS recommendations to get better performance? The question is has anyone, with Maildir and the INDEX= on NFS (i.e. dovecot.index and dovecot.index.cache, set mail_nfs_index to no. If so, was it better to turn maildir_copy_preserve_filename to on or did it help to turn if off. The other question is did you play with turning off atime updates or changing the acmin* values? I know that the recommendation is do not do this. Fortunately Timo's screams won't reach my ears for another ten hours. I'm just interested if anyone has done this. You are most welcome to reply offline. I figure that the worst that can happen is that the dovecot.index.cache file will become corrupt, and dovecot will then rebuild it. As long as this doesn't happen all the time, it should not be a big deal. I'm guessing that this is less likely maildir_copy_preserve_filename turned on. My old (courier) servers is that I was able to get away with disabling atime updates and bumping up acmin* but then there was no central index to check. I admit that this is a nutty way to go since part of the whole point of 1.1.X is its NFS settings. Yet this is a place with some pretty nutty users. (i.e. 2+GB inboxes, 100K messages, one/minute connections, ...) ---Jack P.S. As a total aside people migrating from 1.0.X to 1.1.3 may wish to have to use a different INDEX directory in 1.1.3 than the one you used in 1.0.7. Doing this got rid of my index.cache and transaction log error messages. This may be why testing isn't showing anything. P.P.S. I've tried imapproxy for my webmail but it doesn't seem to have made much of a difference on the INDEX I/O.

[Dovecot] Question about subfolders
by Oliver Fromme 10 Sep '08

10 Sep '08

Hi, I've got an old dovecot installation (0.99.10.5) which is used as the back-end for a squirrelmail web mailer. Now I need to decide whether to update it to a newer version of dovecot or to switch to a different software. One feature that I really need is to be able to place messages and subfolders in a folder at the same time. This is with mbox format files (I can't use maildir). The old version of dovecot doesn't seem to support that, you can have either subfolders or messages in a folder, but not both. Does the current version 1.1.3 support it? Best regards Oliver PS: Please CC me because I'm not subscribed to the list. Thank you very much! -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co. KG, Marktplatz 29, 85567 Grafing b. M.

hi list I upgraded to 1.1.3, and have my logs turned off for some time, but turned it back on when someone complained about moving emails. I saw this in the logs. Seems strange.

All is working fine, but is this a cause for alarm. dovecot: Jun 05 17:10:32 Fatal: imap-login: Dovecot version mismatch: Master is v1.1.rc6, login is v1.1.rc8 (if you don't care, set version_ignore=yes) SBox dovecot # dovecot -n # 1.1.3: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf log_path: /var/log/mail.log info_log_path: /var/log/mail.log protocols: imap imaps pop3 pop3s managesieve listen(default): *:143 listen(imap): *:143 listen(pop3): *:110 listen(managesieve): *:2000 ssl_listen(default): *:993 ssl_listen(imap): *:993 ssl_listen(pop3): *:995 ssl_listen(managesieve): ssl_disable: yes disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login login_executable(managesieve): /usr/libexec/dovecot/managesieve-login first_valid_uid: 150 last_valid_uid: 150 mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%n mail_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_executable(managesieve): /usr/libexec/dovecot/managesieve mail_plugins(default): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(imap): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(pop3): quota mail_plugins(managesieve): mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib64/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(managesieve): /usr/lib64/dovecot/managesieve imap_client_workarounds(default): outlook-idle delay-newmail imap_client_workarounds(imap): outlook-idle delay-newmail imap_client_workarounds(pop3): imap_client_workarounds(managesieve): pop3_client_workarounds(default): pop3_client_workarounds(imap): pop3_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh pop3_client_workarounds(managesieve): auth default: user: nobody passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 432 user: vmail group: mail plugin: quota: maildir quota_rule: *:storage=30GB quota_rule2: Trash:storage=1000M acl: vfile:/etc/dovecot/acls trash: /etc/dovecot/trash.conf Thanks !DSPAM:1,48c73e8460241318355894!

[Dovecot] Problems to sync
by Lincon Peretto 10 Sep '08

10 Sep '08

Dovecot 1.1.2 Good afternoon, I installed dovecot to work with Exim....my dovecot.conf is like this: #Protocolos suportados protocols = imap log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-info.log #Desabilitar SSL ssl_disable = yes disable_plaintext_auth = no first_valid_gid = 0 mail_location = mailbox:/usr/home/%u/mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u mail_access_groups = mail protocol imap { login_executable = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login mail_executable = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap login_greeting_capability = yes } #Otimizacao dotlock_use_excl=yes maildir_copy_with_hardlinks=yes auth_verbose = yes auth_process_size = 256 auth_cache_ttl = 3600 auth default { mechanisms = plain user = root ssl_require_client_cert = no passdb pam { } userdb passwd { } } The problem is that I get to sync with INBOX, but I can't get to sync with the other files... I don't know if this line is correct: mail_location = mailbox:/usr/home/%u/mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u If I create a new file by the outlook, this file is created in the server normally..... If someone could help....thanks...

[Dovecot] Output of dovecot -a not sorted
by Charles Marcus 10 Sep '08

10 Sep '08

Hey Timo, I think I've asked you about this before, and I'm sure its not a big priority, but this is really a pain when trying to check default settings... The output of dovecot -a is huge, and the fact that it is not sorted alphabetically (nor is dovecot -n, but thats not as big of a problem, although I'd like to see that sorted as well for consistency) makes it really difficult to find certain settings you are looking for. Any chance of fixing this so it sorts the output alphabetically? Thanks, and thanks for dovecot! -- Best regards, Charles

[Dovecot] Data loss from removing dovecot.index* files?
by John Lightsey 10 Sep '08

10 Sep '08

Hi there, I've been rewriting the courier-dovecot-migrate script to handle dovecot->courier conversions in addition to courier->dovecot. One issue I've found is that when the courier->dovecot conversion is performed a second time (using --overwrite) and the dovecot-uidlist file is written again, Dovecot starts generating errors when accessing the maildir. The simple fix is to remove all of the dovecot.index* files so they are rebuilt when the maildir is scanned again. Is it safe to do this or is information stored in the index files that can't be rebuilt by Dovecot the next time it scans the maildir? J.D.

[Dovecot] Maildirsize file isn't updated after doing POP
by Nitass Sutaveephamochanon 09 Sep '08

09 Sep '08

Hello, I have a problem about updating Maildirsize file. It seems that the Maildirsize file is not updated after user does POP mail from his maildir. I do not want to use any quota limitation in Dovecot. I only want Dovevot to update the Maildirsize file after user retrieves his mail. The Maildirsize file is created by Postfix. Would it be possible to do like this? How can I configure it? Could you please advice me? The Dovecot version is 1.0.7. Thank you very much, Nitass

[Dovecot] No buffer space available
by Rick Romero 09 Sep '08

09 Sep '08

Hi, I'm running Dovecot 1.1.3 on FreeBSD 7.0. In the past couple days, I've been seeing errors like this: Sep 9 08:43:51 sysvol dovecot: pop3-login: socketpair() failed: No buffer space available Sep 9 08:43:51 sysvol dovecot: pop3-login: socket(default) failed: No buffer space available Sep 9 08:43:51 sysvol dovecot: pop3-login: Can't connect to auth server at default: No buffer space available Sep 9 08:25:15 sysvol dovecot: pop3-login: socketpair() failed: No buffer space available pop3-login: Can't connect to auth server at default: No buffer space available What ends up happening is that the port doesn't accept any new connections until there is enough buffer space. Yesterday, I saw it a LOT with POP3 and changed my config login processes: login_process_per_connection: no login_process_size: 256 login_processes_count: 6 This seemed to clear up the issues, but now it's occurring again this morning. I haven't had any of these since I made that change either.. So there's some progress... : Sep 8 12:53:40 sysvol dovecot: Temporary failure in creating login processes, slowing down for now TOP shows: Mem: 267M Active, 5558M Inact, 1637M Wired, 217M Cache, 214M Buf, 87M Free Swap: 4096M Total, 4096M Free At this time, there are 120 imap processes, 10 POP and 1 dovecot and 1 dovecot-auth pop and imap both have 6 login processes. It doesn't seem like a load issue, but obviously something is set too low or unavailable... It's fixed for a period of time when I restart dovecot. I did a netstat -m prior to restart, and after restart, and the only main difference was this line: Before: 11/414/425/12800 4k (page size) jumbo clusters in use (current/cache/total/max) After: 0/425/425/12800 4k (page size) jumbo clusters in use (current/cache/total/max) (After about 5 minutes 'current' went to 3) This machine also runs NFSd and MySQL. Any ideas? Thanks, Rick

[Dovecot] antispam plugin problem with dspam
by Harlan Stenn 09 Sep '08

09 Sep '08

I'm trying to use the dovecot antispam plugin with dspam. I'm running dovecot 1.1.2. Using thunderbird and IMAP, when I drag a spam message from the inbox into the SPAM folder, I get a popup saying "The current command did not succeed. The mail server responded: antispam signature not found. When I look at the message in the maildir folder, I see the dspam signature both in the header of the message and at the end of the body. What's a good way to debug this situation and figure things out? I'm not seeing anything in any log files, and I'm not seeing much in the way of debug capability in the dovecot antispam plugin.

[Dovecot] Sieve, and logging.
by Scott Sharkey 09 Sep '08

09 Sep '08

Hi All, Relatively new to Dovecot - converting from courier-imap. So far, I've got it working with virtual users (postfixadmin tables), and it seems to be working. I'm trying to get sieve working. It's not, so I tried turning up the logging, and putting it into a separate log file to get it out of the syslog for now. I can get the main dovecot to log, but I cannot get any log out of dovecot-deliver. I am thinking of replacing the dovecot-deliver with a shell script to see if it's even being called.

[Dovecot] cyrus2courier or cyrus2maildir.py, which to choose?
by Steinar Bang 09 Sep '08

09 Sep '08

What's the best utility to use to convert mail folders from a cyrus 2.2.13-10, on a debian 4.0 Etch system, to folders that can be used by dovecot? The http://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration/Cyrus page isn't too clear on what's the difference. cyrus2courier says "It should be able to preserve message UIDs, flags and 26 first keywords." cyrus2maildir.py says "preserves delivery timestamps and \Seen flags." But does that means that what cyrus2maildir.py preserves is in addition to what cyrus2courier preserves? Or is what cyrus2maildir preserves a subset of what cyrus2courier preserves? Thanx! - Steinar

[Dovecot] Error in Sieve + Dovecot 1.1.3
by Allan Cassaro 09 Sep '08

09 Sep '08

Hi, when I upgrade my dovecot to lastest version (from 1.1.1 to 1.1.3) and sieve plugins I discover a little problem in deliver (LDA) or in Sieve interface. With version 1.1.1 I have this in my dovecot.conf (and works fine) protocol lda { postmaster_address = root(a)mct.gov.br hostname = faraday.mct.gov.br mail_debug = no mail_plugins = cmusieve quota sieve_global_dir = /etc/dovecot/scriptssieve/ sieve = /home/%u/.dovecot.sieve } When I upgrade, the deliver/LDA stop to work and show me this message (in logs): deliver(acassaro): cmusieve: /home/%u/.dovecot.sieve doesn't exist So, when I change the "sieve" parameter, everything works fine again. protocol lda { postmaster_address = root(a)mct.gov.br hostname = faraday.mct.gov.br mail_debug = no mail_plugins = cmusieve quota sieve_global_dir = /etc/dovecot/scriptssieve/ sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve } So, I don't know if this error is on LDA or Sieve patch (probably in sieve patch) Versions: dovecot-1.1.3 dovecot-sieve-1.1.5 dovecot-1.1-managesieve-0.10.3 dovecot-1.1.2-managesieve-0.10.3.diff Regards.

[Dovecot] Thunderbird, subscriptions, and upgrade to 1.1.3
by Jack Stewart 08 Sep '08

08 Sep '08

Hi, I've upgraded from 1.0.7 to 1.1.3. When I did this, my Thunderbird lost its brain and did not show some subscribed folders. squirrelmail also seemed to have issues. Applemail and mutt were fine. The configuration output is below. Hopefully this is just me and just random bizarreness. There wasn't a problem in 1.0.7 but I could have been caught in mid-upgrade. Thunderbird did not seem to update the subscription file (or at least I could not find the one it thought it was using). Any pointers are appreciated. Thanks in advance. ---Jack /opt/dovecot/sbin/dovecot -c /etc/dovecot.conf -n # 1.1.3: /etc/dovecot.conf Warning: fd limit 1024 is lower than what Dovecot can use under full load (more than 6144).

[Dovecot] zlib plugin nad moving mails, bug?
by Mateusz Kijowski 08 Sep '08

08 Sep '08

Hi, Recently I gzipped mails older than 30 days in our users' maildirs. I used find and gzip. Gzip added 'Z' at the end of the filename and everything seemed to work fine, users did not notice any difference in performance (yet :-), and I saved about 30% of our mail storage space. There seems to be a problem when moving gzipped messages from one folder to another though. Dovecot drops the Z flag, moved messages are not processed by the zlib plugin and email clients end up showing garbage. Is there something wrong with my config, or did I encounter a bug? dovecot -n follows: # 1.0.13: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/ log_path: /var/log/dovecot.log protocols: imap imaps pop3s ssl_ca_file: /etc/certs/certum-chain.crt ssl_cert_file: /etc/certs/wild.dfqs.pl.crt ssl_key_file: /etc/certs/wild.dfqs.pl.key ssl_cipher_list: ALL:!LOW:!MEDIUM login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/lib64/dovecot/pop3-login login_greeting: imap.dfqs.pl ready. login_process_per_connection: no login_processes_count: 5 login_max_processes_count: 32 max_mail_processes: 4096 verbose_proctitle: yes mail_location: maildir:~/mail:INDEX=/var/lib/dovecot/indexes/%Ln mail_debug: yes maildir_copy_with_hardlinks: yes maildir_copy_preserve_filename: yes mail_executable(default): /usr/local/lib64/dovecot-post-login-imap.sh mail_executable(imap): /usr/local/lib64/dovecot-post-login-imap.sh mail_executable(pop3): /usr/local/lib64/dovecot-post-login-pop3.sh mail_plugins(default): imap_quota trash quota acl zlib mail_plugins(imap): imap_quota trash quota acl zlib mail_plugins(pop3): quota mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib64/dovecot/plugins/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib64/dovecot/plugins/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib64/dovecot/plugins/pop3 mail_log_max_lines_per_sec: 0 imap_client_workarounds(default): outlook-idle tb-extra-mailbox-sep imap_client_workarounds(imap): outlook-idle tb-extra-mailbox-sep imap_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-idle 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 namespace: type: private separator: / inbox: yes namespace: type: public separator: / prefix: Public/ location: maildir:/var/vmail/Public:CONTROL=~/Public/control:INDEX=~/Public/index namespace: type: shared separator: / prefix: Shared/ location: maildir:/var/vmail/Shared:CONTROL=~/Shared/control:INDEX=~/Shared/index auth default: verbose: yes debug: yes worker_max_count: 512 passdb: driver: pam args: dovecot userdb: driver: ldap args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf socket: type: listen client: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-client mode: 432 user: root group: vmail master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 432 user: root group: vmail plugin: quota: maildir:storage=12582912:ignore=Trash acl: vfile: trash: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-trash.conf

[Dovecot] Error starting dovecot
by Diego Ledesma 08 Sep '08

08 Sep '08

Hello, I have a linux system (Ubuntu 7.04 server edition) running Postfix 2.3.8 Today i installed Dovecot through apt-get (got version 1.0.rc17 installed) and configured it to do sasl auth only, (i already have other pop3,smtp and imap servers running) following the howto's at dovecot.org The thing is that if i try to start dovecot or run dovecot -n i get this message: Error: Can't use mail executable /usr/lib/dovecot/imap: No such file or directory That directory does not exist but why should it if i don't want to run dovecot as imap? I only installed dovecot-common package. Also, i setted protocols to "none". Does anyone know why i get that error message? One last comment. Before installing dovecot on the production mail server i installed it on my laptop's linux (Ubuntu 8.04 LTS) for testing purposes. The testing mail server runs Postfix 2.5.1 and Dovecot 1.0.10 and in this case Dovecot runs fine (the /usr/lib/dovecot/imap directory does also not exist and dovecot.conf is configured exactly on both servers). This are the uncommented parts of dovecot.conf #Only use dovecot-auth protocols = none disable_plaintext_auth = no log_timestamp = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S " mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir mail_privileged_group = mail protocol imap { } protocol pop3 { pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv } auth default { mechanisms = plain login passdb passwd-file { args = /etc/passwd.dovecot } passdb pam { } userdb passwd { } user = root socket listen { client { path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode = 0660 user = postfix group = postfix } } } dict { } plugin { } ---- Any help is greatly appreciated.

Sorry, bounced this the first time ;( Darren I'd happily switched to a real cert if I knew that this was the problem. Are you using the cert actually on the phone to validate its identity?

[Dovecot] Cosmetic issue with dots in Maildir folder names
by Holger Weiss 08 Sep '08

08 Sep '08

Just a minor cosmetic issue: We use the listescape plugin in order to support "." characters in Maildir++ folder names, and in at least the following case, the escaped representation of the dot character ("\2e") won't be translated back to a "." in messages for the IMAP client: | 1 SELECT non.existent | 1 NO Mailbox doesn't exist: non\2eexistent However, SELECTing an existing folder whose name includes a dot works fine, and it also works in other cases, e.g.: | 2 CREATE does.exist | 2 OK Create completed. | 3 LIST "" does.exist | * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" does.exist | 3 OK List completed. This is with Dovecot 1.1.3; we use "separator = /" and we've defined REAL_SEP to '.' and VIRTUAL_SEP to '/' in the plugin. Holger

[Dovecot] ACL plugin: k permission and sub-subfolders
by Heiko Schlichting 07 Sep '08

07 Sep '08

Hi, I'm trying to disallow the creating of subfolders for some special folder for all users. Using ACL plugin for this seems to work at first glance but is not a full solution or is buggy as it allows the creation of sub-subfolders. I'm using the following ACL and namespace separator is "/": $ cat folder owner lrwstie Note: no "k" permission ("k" = create = Mailboxes can be created under this mailbox) Seems to work: a001 create "folder/subfolder" a001 NO Permission denied But: a002 create "folder/subfolder/subsubfolder" a002 OK Create completed. This is unexpected. Creating a subfolder is not allowed but a sub-subfolder is permitted? If this is intentional, the description in the wiki should mention this. And: How to disallow the creation of any subfolders and any sub-subfolders? Using "folder/.DEFAULT" instead of "folder" to define the ACL does not make any difference for the behavior. My configuration of dovecot is below the signature. Thanks, Heiko.

[Dovecot] Time Moved Backwards Error Keeps Happening
by JackyC＠umac.mo 05 Sep '08

05 Sep '08

Hi all, I am running dovecot version 1.1.1 (dovecot --version) and keeps to have time moved backwards problem. I first found dovecot dead without obvious error message, but see the following when restart dovecot service by # service dovecot restart >Stopping Dovecot Imap: [FAILED] >Starting Dovecot Imap: Warning: Last died with error (see error log for more information): Time just moved backwards by 4398 seconds. This might cause a lot of problems, so I'll just kill myself now. http://wiki.dovecot.org/TimeMovedBackwards [ OK ] I followed the above official wiki link and apply the ntpd service for adjusting the server timestamp. After running the ntpd service, I found the server timestamp drift is only 14.333 microsecond, I think which would be reasonable. But I still get the captioned error. Does anyone have the same experience? BTW, I couldn't find the error log message even I confirmed the info, error and debug log file by visiting this wiki document http://wiki.dovecot.org/Logging, does it really not log at the log file? I can just keep monitoring the log and use the following command to determine whether dovecot is running or not. # service dovecot status Thank you very much! Yours Sincerely, Jacky, Hoi Kei Chan,

My company's current system (unfortunally) uses that non-standard format. The MTA writes in that format. I guess it would require a patch then? tks. gpg

[Dovecot] Integrating Dovecot SASL into Postfix
by Diego Ledesma 04 Sep '08

04 Sep '08

Hello. I have a linux system (Ubuntu 7.04 server edition) running as a mail server with Postfix. SMTP authentication is not configured so users have to be connected to the lan to download/send mails. I´m considering on enabling SMTP authentication and i have heard that by installing Dovecot i can do this pretty straight forward. First of all, some details about how the mail server is configured: - Running Linux OS Ubuntu 7.04 - Currently running Postfix version 2.3.8 - No virtual users or domains . Every system user has a mail account (to create a new mail account i have to create a new system user. I belive this is called PAM, right?). According to postfix´s website the version of postfix i have supports Dovecot 1.0 SASL protocol. What would happen if i try to install Dovecot through apt-get?. I mean, i most definitely get a version of Dovecot above 1.0. Would my postfix still support it?. Before posting this i have posted on the postifx mailing list and they have to told me that after installing Dovecot i don´t need to configure it as a pop/iamp server. How would i accomplish this?. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks. Diego.

[Dovecot] Sieve problem with 1.1.2
by justin＠ma3x.net 04 Sep '08

04 Sep '08

Hello, I am new here, so excuse me if i am asking something already asked. I am using dovecot 1.1.2 along with postfix 2.6 and a pgsql backend. So far everything is great, until i wanted to try out the sieve implementation. I am using dovecot for deliver and i have set global_script_path = /home/vmail/globalsieverc The script IS working until a given user defines his own sieve script ( for example ) : require ["fileinto"]; # Move mail from my gmail account to gmail folder if header :contains "From" ["xxxxx(a)gmail.com"] { fileinto "gmail"; } This ( or any other script for all i know ) breaks up the global one, and it stops working. The global script looks like this : require ["fileinto"]; # Move spam to spam folder if header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" ["YES"] { fileinto "spam"; stop; } Am i missing something, or this is the desired behaviour ?

[Dovecot] Dovecot ManageSieve + ingo or avelsieve
by Olivier Dijoux 03 Sep '08

03 Sep '08

Hi, does anyone got Dovecot ManageSieve and Horde/Ingo working together ? i'm running Dovecot 1.1.2 with managesieve patch (dovecot-1.1.2-managesieve-0.10.3.diff) following intructions at http://wiki.dovecot.org/ManageSieve now my Dovecot have ManageSieve available :-) I've setup Horde/Ingo (ingo-h3-1.1.5-1.el5) when I specify some new filtering rules in Ingo, they are successfully uploaded using managesieve to Dovecot server and seems to be working. But when I logout/login back to Ingo, no rules are visible. Previously defined rules are still working with dovecot (because the ingo.sieve which links to .dovecot.sieve contains them), but Ingo is ignoring them at all. also my Dovecot managesieve setup is working well with avelsieve-1.9.4 plugin for Squirrelmail, but not with latest avelsieve-1.9.7 (see http://article.gmane.org/gmane.mail.squirrelmail.plugins/13818 ) : in avelsieve-1.9.7 same as Ingo, it forget rules ! any suggestion ? Ingo backends.php is : ---- $backends['sieve'] = array( 'driver' => 'timsieved', 'preferred' => 'localhost', 'hordeauth' => true, 'params' => array( // Hostname of the timsieved server 'hostspec' => 'localhost', // Login type of the server 'logintype' => 'PLAIN', // Enable/disable TLS encryption 'usetls' => false, // Port number of the timsieved server 'port' => 2000, // Name of the sieve script 'scriptname' => 'ingo', ), 'script' => 'sieve', 'scriptparams' => array() ); ---- PS : any ManageSieve patch for Dovecot v1.1.3 ? thanks -- Olivier

[Dovecot] umask and mails
by Nicolas Letellier 03 Sep '08

03 Sep '08

Hello. I would like to have rights like 750 in my mailboxes (in /var/mail/vmails/domain.tld/user). http://wiki.dovecot.org/DovecotServerInstallations/RHEL/2_Users?highlight=(… I see an option called umask (in dovecot.conf). I set umask = 0750 in dovecot.conf. This option add good rights to directories, but not to the mail received (always in 700). Do you have a solution? Thanks. -- - Nicolas.

[Dovecot] checkpassword migration script in Python
by Dan Udey 03 Sep '08

03 Sep '08

Hey all, First post to the list, so here goes, hope I don't break any rules (I didn't see any rules about not being overly verbose) I spent a long time looking for anything that would help me migrate from our old IMAP server to our new one without a lot of client-side fuss, multiple e-mail accounts, and so on. I find that a lot of our users get confused by having two 'inboxes' in Outlook (one local, unused, and one IMAP), so I figured the easier I could make it, the better. I figured there must be some way to do what I was looking for, but I couldn't find it, so I hacked up a little something to do the job. As the saying goes, it's nasty, brutish, and short, but in my tests it's done everything I needed it to. The problem: Our old mail system is hosted by another company, outsourced before I was hired, so I don't have access to the old user/ passwd database, nor to their e-mail store; thus, I cannot do a clean, simple migration by upgrading in-place as I have done on other servers. The solution IMAP authentication proxying. The idea is that I don't need to know the password, because the user's mail client knows the password, so all I need is for it to tell me, and then I can create their user. That is what this script is for. To use, set up your authentication backend (passdb) first, and then after that section, add a 'passdb checkpassword' section containing this script. Thus, the following will happen. 1. Valid users who log into your system will be authenticated as you would expect. 2. Users who could not be authenticated will fall through to the checkpassword section 3. Checkpassword will look for the user in the password database; if they exist, it is assumed that it is a valid user, but incorrect password, and checkpassword fails the user as well. 4. If the user is not currently in the database, it will initiate an IMAP4 connection to the remote host specified. If it succeeds in logging in to the remote host, then we assume that the user is a valid user and can be migrated to the local server. They are added to the database, along with their password. It then **fails the user's login regardless** 5. It /logs the username and password into the database/ so that another process can use that information to migrate their e-mail over to the new server (not yet implemented). 6. If the IMAP connection fails, the login is failed as well, and dovecot continues as normal until it has exhausted all other passdb backends. Interested? A few things to note about the script: 1. It's a brutal hack. Really, ugly stuff. However, it gets the job done, if your system is similar enough to mine. 2. It only works on MySQL. I only use MySQL in our system, so there's no point for me to add other DBs, nor any way to test. 3. It doesn't support remote servers using SSL. Our current system doesn't use it, so again, it's hard to test. 4. It does not currently migrate mailboxes. I'm working on this (see below). 5. If your schema is at all different from mine, you will likely have to rewrite all of the SQL. There's not much I can do about this. 6. If your backend database doesn't use MySQL, you're largely boned. Exception: rewrite add_user() to do whatever you need to do to add users to your system. 7. The script will **ALWAYS RETURN A FAILED LOGIN TO DOVECOT**. This is because there are too many variables on every configuration, and writing code for all of them is absurd. This way, the user's first login will always fail, and their second login will always succeed. If you want to avoid this, place your normal passdb authentication **both before and after this checkpassword section**. That way, it will check once, fail, pass to checkpassword, and then check again, success. TODO: 1. Make it not ugly. Break more junk off into functions (e.g. IMAP verification) 2. Send the user an e-mail ('Welcome to the server, sorry your mail is gone, we'll fix that soon') 3. Spawn another process to run imapsync in the background to migrate the user's old mailboxes over. This would be very site-dependent, as there are a lot of variables. It might be best done as a cronjob that polls the database every however often (1 minute? 2 minutes?) or a daemon that sits in the background watching the db for changes, or even accepting the data directly. 4. Stop being so verbose in my first postings to mailing lists. 5. Lots of other things. URLS Blah blah blah where's the code. Here you go. Pretty syntax-highlighted version for browsing before you download, in case I'm an evil hacker: http://cdslash.net/temp/python/checkpassword.py Ugly monochrome version for downloading so you don't get line numbers in your junk: http://cdslash.net/temp/python/checkpassword.raw Questions, comments? I probably won't be on the list very long, so if you want to ask something or have a suggestion, feel free to let me know by e-mail at the address listed in the file's license notification. Alternately, find me on Freenode, occasionally in #dovecot or always in #macosx, as Darien, or some variant thereof.

[Dovecot] authorizing users
by Wade Smart 03 Sep '08

03 Sep '08

Im trying to clarify if I understand correctly about authorizing users. "The simplest login method is sending the user login info in plain text and allowing access only to users that already have UNIX access (ie. in /etc/passwd) to the machine dovecot is running on." Im using fetchmail postfix dovecot on my own personal computer to get my mail from two servers. What Im wanting to understand is, is this saying that since I am already a user on my own system, that by using /etc/passwd that I would use my username and password in say thunderbird to login to dovecot to get my mail?

It's possible this is a 32/64-bit incompatibility issue (imap is a 64- bit program for me; mail might have been delivered by a 32-bit deliver or previously read by a 32-bit imap) but more likely the dovecot* files are just hosed in some way. I can provide more information if you ask soon, but I can't keep this server broken for too long.

[Dovecot] Authentication problems
by Rodti MacLeary 02 Sep '08

02 Sep '08

Hi there, I'm in a bit of a dilemma and wonder if anyone can help. Over the weekend I bought a new dedicated server and moved my mail/web over to it. I'd used the Sarge[1] tutorial at workaround.org for the old server and as I'd wanted to move to Dovecot for a while I decided to use their Etch[2] tutorial for the new one. For the most part everything's working nicely, but I seem to be having problems with (mostly non-SSL) SMTP authentication. In this install Postfix passes SASL authentication to Dovecot. For most clients using SSL this works fine, but as soon as SSL is off it fails. This is despite having disable_plaintext_auth set to 'no'. Furthermore it appears that some clients w/SSL are also failing. Outlook being the major culprit. I'm completely stumped. I've pasted a copy of the output from dovecot -n below. Thanks in advance!

[Dovecot] "pam_start() failed: system error" with dovecot 1.1.2, cause unknown
by Adam McDougall 02 Sep '08

02 Sep '08

I would guess this is unlikely to be dovecot's fault, but I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas of what might have happened based on the evidence. My best guess is some kind of resource limit was reached but I don't see any evidence in the logs, and the condition is now gone. Suddenly this morning, one (and only one) of my dovecot servers decided to start failing all logins since 08:25:04 until we restarted dovecot, at which point they were working fine. The number of imap-login processes was under the limit, but there were some obvious PAM errors at the time. My account could still ssh to the system so I don't think it was a problem general authentication, and NIS on other systems was working fine. No one was logged into that server at the time the problems occurred, and I don't think anything happened to the actual pam libraries to make them missing since dovecot worked after a restart. I should have used other means to prevent people from using that dovecot instance rather than stopping it, and I'll do so if it happens again in hopes of further debugging. /var/log/maillog: Sep 2 08:25:01 hill dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<userA>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured Sep 2 08:25:01 hill dovecot: IMAP(userA): Disconnected: Logged out bytes=127/568 Sep 2 08:25:01 hill dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<userA>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured Sep 2 08:25:01 hill dovecot: IMAP(userA): Disconnected: Logged out bytes=282/9641 Sep 2 08:25:04 hill dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<userA>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured Sep 2 08:25:04 hill dovecot: IMAP(userA): Disconnected: Logged out bytes=46/543 ***problem started here Sep 2 08:25:04 hill dovecot: auth-worker(default): pam(userA,127.0.0.1): pam_start() failed: system error Sep 2 08:25:04 hill dovecot: auth-worker(default): pam(userB,35.9.37.164): pam_start() failed: system error Sep 2 08:25:05 hill dovecot: auth-worker(default): pam(userC,35.9.37.164): pam_start() failed: system error Sep 2 08:25:06 hill dovecot: imap-login: Aborted login (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=<userB>, method=PLAIN, rip=35.9.37.164, lip=35.9.37.190, TLS Sep 2 08:25:06 hill dovecot: imap-login: Aborted login (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=<userA>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured Sep 2 08:25:07 hill dovecot: imap-login: Aborted login (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=<userC>, method=PLAIN, rip=35.9.37.164, lip=35.9.37.190, TLS ..... /var/log/messages: Sep 2 08:25:04 hill dovecot-auth: in openpam_load_module(): no pam_permit.so found Sep 2 08:25:04 hill dovecot-auth: in openpam_load_module(): no pam_login_access.so found Sep 2 08:25:05 hill dovecot-auth: in openpam_load_module(): no pam_nologin.so found Sep 2 08:25:10 hill dovecot-auth: in openpam_load_module(): no pam_unix.so found Sep 2 08:25:11 hill dovecot-auth: in openpam_load_module(): no pam_unix.so found Sep 2 08:25:20 hill dovecot-auth: in openpam_load_module(): no pam_opieaccess.so found Sep 2 08:25:20 hill dovecot-auth: in openpam_load_module(): no pam_opie.so found Sep 2 08:25:51 hill kernel: Sep 2 08:25:51 hill last message repeated 12 times Sep 2 08:27:52 hill kernel: Sep 2 08:27:52 hill last message repeated 37 times Sep 2 08:38:01 hill kernel: Sep 2 08:38:01 hill last message repeated 144 times Sep 2 08:48:06 hill kernel: Sep 2 08:48:06 hill last message repeated 129 times Sep 2 08:53:36 hill kernel: Sep 2 08:52:51 hill last message repeated 51 times

[Dovecot] sieve plugin
by Андрей 02 Sep '08

02 Sep '08

I try to cinfigure dovecot run sieve scripts on incoming mail. In my dovecot.conf: <...> protocol lda { # Address to use when sending rejection mails. postmaster_address = root(a)vpcit.ru # Hostname to use in various parts of sent mails, eg. in Message-Id. # Default is the system's real hostname. hostname = vpcit.ru # Support for dynamically loadable plugins. mail_plugins is a space separated # list of plugins to load. #mail_plugins = mail_plugin_dir = /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda # Binary to use for sending mails. #sendmail_path = /usr/lib/sendmail # UNIX socket path to master authentication server to find users. auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master # Enabling Sieve plugin for server-side mail filtering mail_plugins = cmusieve } <...> plugin { sieve = /var/mail/%d/%1n/%n/.dovecot.sieve } Then i set experiments on my maildir. In /var/mail/vpcit.ru/d/dukenukem i created script .dovecot.sieve: require "fileinto"; if header :comparator "i;ascii-casemap" :contains "Subject" "sieve check" { fileinto "Trash"; stop; } Permissions on /var/mail/vpcit.ru/d/dukenukem are: drwx------ 5000 mail So script should put every message that has "sieve check" subject into Trash folder. 1) Trash folder isn't created, should i create it manually? 2) Even when i create Trash folder and make 777 permissions to maildir, nothing happens (message is dropped into inbox dir) 3) Should i configure my Kontact (KMail) e-mail client some way? 4) What i've done incorrect? The mail system works fine at the moment for receive and send, trouble only with sieve scripting. Yours faithfully, Andrey.

[Dovecot] question about OpenSSL with DC

IBM recently changed both its delivery package for OpenSSL and the locations it put things. Luckily, I have a second machine other than my mail server that I can test things on and DC 1.0.15 seems to be be running OK (thus I got all the configure/compilation tweaks right), but.....is there anyway to check the DC binaries to determine where it's getting its OpenSSl binaries and libraries (needed at runtime)? -- ==== Stewart Dean, Unix System Admin, Henderson Computer Resources Center of Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson, New York 12504 sdean(a)bard.edu voice: 845-758-7475, fax: 845-758-7035

[Dovecot] Virtual users, postfix and dovecot deliver LDA
by Petri Asikainen 02 Sep '08

02 Sep '08

Hi, I have question about how to setup ldap-lookups in dovecot. I have done my homework by googling and reading documention and sample configuration files. But cant resolve this issue. Background: I have setup postfix and dovecot. Postix is configured to ldap alias maps and is delivering mails to /var/spool/vmail/username/Maildir correctly . Username is ldap attribute sAMAccountName from active directory. Goal: To use dovecots sieve plugin I have to setup postfix to use dovecots deliver. Changed postfix main.cf to virtual_transport = dovecot and master.cf to include lines: dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail:mail argv=/usr/lib/dovecot/lda/deliver -d ${recipient} Problem is that mail get delivered to /var/spool/vmail/users.email@address , not folder named as ldap attribute sAMAccountNameas it should. The question is: How I can configure deliver to do map email address to ldap attribute sAMAccountName? Second question is can I use ldap groups as distribution lists whit deliver? Dovecot version is 1.1.2 and postfix 2.5.1 Cheers, Petri

Hi all, Imagine an NFS mounted read-only file system containing directories full of plain mboxes. Any recommendations on how to approach the access with dovecot?

[Dovecot] Autocreating INBOX only
by Edgar Fuß 01 Sep '08

01 Sep '08

I would like deliver not to automatically create subfolders for mails addressed to user+some_strange_name(a)domain.com, but nevertheless automatically create INBOX for new users. I'm not sure whether a new option like -M or -m -m would be appropriate, i.e., whether anyone needs the current -m behaviour. It looks to me like one would need to change mailbox_open_or_create_synced() if (box != NULL || no_mailbox_autocreate) return box; to something like (assuming an enum mailbox_autocreate {_never,_inbox,_always} if (box != NULL) return box; if (mailbox_autocreate == mailbox_autocreate_never || strcasecmp (mailbox, "INBOX") != 0) return NULL;

Re: [Dovecot] usernames with/without domain - my solution
by Mark Zealey 01 Sep '08

01 Sep '08

We do it the same and it works fine, however we do it by inbound port (because we're behind some loadbalancers that can do port translation. We create a port -> domain mapping table and then you can just do the join with "where port = '%a'" (dovecot 1.1 only). Seems a little neater than the per-ip solution if you're in a loadbalanced environment. I don't see why you need the group by or having statements (assuming you have normalized tables).

[Dovecot] How do I move delete messages to Trash?
by Robert S 01 Sep '08

01 Sep '08

I've recently replaced courier-imap with dovecot - mainly for performance benefits. All of my users in the office use Outlook Express. It appears that dovecot has no facility to move deleted messages to a Trash folder - where they can be removed after a specified time with a cronjob. Other mail clients seem to have an option to specify a Trash folder. I see that there's a deleted-to-trash plugin at http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/deleted-to-trash but I've got no idea as to how I'd implement this. Could somebody please give me some pointers? I realise that OE might not be the best mail client for implementing IMAP but that's what everyone in the office uses!

[Dovecot] usernames with/without domain - my solution
by Ian B 01 Sep '08

01 Sep '08

My existing pop3/imap environment is courier imap + vpopmail + qmail with MySQL backend. I'm looking at migrating this to Dovecot. Currently I have multiple instances of Courier bound to different loopback IPs (the IPs correspond with the virtual IPs on a server load balancer). When a user authenticates they don't have to specify a domain - if they don't, Courier will use a 'default' domain (defined in the Courier config for that instance). Moving to Dovecot I want to avoid having to running an instance of Dovecot listening on each loopback IP, but still handle usernames that may not have the domain component. I wasn't able to find any examples showing how to achieve this exactly, so came up with the following solution: 1. create a new 2 column SQL table: 'domain', 'IP' - this allows me to map between the local Dovecot IP and the 'default' domain 2. create a (rather ugly looking) sql query that combines data from both the vpopmail table and the new table The SQL query is as follows: SELECT IF('%d' = '',dovecot.domain,'%d') AS authdomain, CONCAT(pw_name, '@', pw_domain) AS user, pw_passwd AS password, pw_dir AS userdb_home, 89 AS userdb_uid, 89 AS userdb_gid FROM vpopmail, dovecot_authmap AS dovecot WHERE pw_name = '%n' AND dovecot.local_ip = SUBSTRING_INDEX('%l', ':', -1) GROUP BY pw_domain HAVING pw_domain = authdomain NOTE: I'm prefetching userdb info This works, however I'd like to know what others think of this approach, and whether there is a better way to achieve what I require.

[Dovecot] GETQUOTAROOT (part 2)
by Patrick Medina 31 Aug '08

31 Aug '08

Hello, I'm a recent convert to dovecot from courier-imap and the performance has certainly improved. I'm running the vanilla 1.0.7 version that came with the CentOS 5.2 x86_64 distro. I've come across a similar problem that was posted by Ralf Hildebrandt earlier this year under the same subject, but that thread just seems to have died off. I'm also using per- user maildirsize files (originally run under courier-imap) but these are not being read/enforced/updated for some users. After some testing with these users, the problem seems to be related to the size of the maildirsize file itself. A file size greater than 5119 bytes results in no quota for the INBOX of the user, and the file seems to be ignored entirely by dovecot. I guess the solution to this is to just copy over a fresh (i.e. empty save for the limit line) maildirsize file, but I was wodering if this maildirsize size limit is some innate property of dovecot. Would not others, especially converts from courier-imap that also use maildirsize files, have this experience also? Thank you. Patrick

[Dovecot] Problem with multiple Dovecot Instances
by Manuel Maurer 31 Aug '08

31 Aug '08

Hello, first i want to say that i never used a mailing list before, so if i made something wrong do not hesitate to contact me via e-mail. I try to set up multiple Dovecot instances running at the same time. Goal is to provide IMAPS with a valid SSL Certificate on selected IP Addresses. To reach this i want to set it up as follows: 1 Dovecot Daemon listening on localhost (for webmail), providing LDA and Authentification (over MySQL) 4 Dovecot Daemons listening on each IP Address, querying the localhost daemon for authentification Just for your Information: I replaced all real data with placeholders, like the IP Address of my Server with MY_IP. Also i removed some absolutely non relevant lines from the configuration output (like settings for logging) This is my localhost config-output: # 1.1.2: /opt/dovecot/etc/dovecot.conf base_dir: /var/run/dovecot protocols: pop3 imap listen(default): 127.0.0.1:143 listen(imap): 127.0.0.1:143 listen(pop3): 127.0.0.1:110 ssl_disable: yes login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /opt/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /opt/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /opt/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login login_chroot: no first_valid_uid: 5000 last_valid_uid: 5000 mail_location: mbox:/home/vmail/%d/%u mail_executable(default): /opt/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /opt/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /opt/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(default): /opt/dovecot/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /opt/dovecot/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /opt/dovecot/lib/dovecot/pop3 auth default: mechanisms: plain login user: nobody passdb: driver: sql args: /opt/dovecot/etc/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: sql args: /opt/dovecot/etc/dovecot-sql.conf socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 438 user: dovecot group: dovecot deliver and webmail works fine when i start this Daemon.

What is causing this behaviour? Thanks in advance. Manuel

[Dovecot] many users maildir access
by VK 31 Aug '08

31 Aug '08

Hi All, Is it possible when using Dovecot and MySQL to tell dovecot maildir:%h/MailDir -- Yes I know but please read on before you answer this one :-> We have users directories layer structured because of the filesystems 32k directory limit , eg: user foobar(a)example.com's home mail directory is: /mailhosts/example.com/f/fo/foo/foobar I know Dovecot takes maildir:%d/%u/MailDir but as you see this will not work, so I guess I'm after the defination of %h, is that home as in system users home, or home as is like our setup? Or, is there yet another way we could have Dovecot access the users mail, we need to ove away from our current <insert_wellknown_pop3/imap> setup as it is just to slow, and I know dovecot has a 30 fold increase on speed over it from talknig to other people, but none of them do anymore then the /domain/user setup so cant help me. Regards, Vic

[Dovecot] Input and suggestions: Mail mirror setup
by Ulf Zimmermann 31 Aug '08

31 Aug '08

Hello, everyone. To make life for our operations team easier I am looking at setting up a mail mirror of any email which gets sent from certain machines. My current ideas go along the following lines: Each machine will use the Postfix "always_bcc" option and set it to an address like mailmirror(a)mailmirror.openlane.com. On mailmirror I am looking at setting up Dovecot with public folders and a number of users, which probably will authenticate via Active Directory. I intend to create a main public folder called MailMirror and then underneath sub folders based on the sender email address in a format of like "<sender>_<domain>". Now the sub folders need to be created automatically when it doesn't exist yet. I think the best way to tie this in between Postfix and Dovecot is to use an alias in Postfix for mailmirror(a)mailmirror.openlane.com which will check if a public folder exist or not. It will create the folder and then deliver the message to the folder (maybe via safecat http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2007-November/026661.html) Anyone got input or suggestion about my plans?

[Dovecot] Dovecot and fake users
by Vytenis Sabaliauskas 31 Aug '08

31 Aug '08

Hi everyone, Our company has decided to make a fake POP3 (and possibly IMAP) server, which accepts any user name and password combination and shows there are no new messages. This is for the purpose that when our mail cluster passes out, we can redirect our clients to this server while we fix our mail system. This way we can prevent our users from getting errors. We are using the latest dovecot server with Ubuntu (currently), but perhaps will migrate to CentOS (if this is important) I am trying to use the following configuration for testing, but it doesn't seem to work (don't laugh :) ) -------8<------------ passdb pam { args = dovecot } userdb static { args = uid=0 gid=0 home=/var/mail/empty allow_all_users=yes } -------8<------------ cat /etc/pam.d/dovecot: ------------------- #%PAM-1.0 auth required pam_permit.so ------------------- I will be very thankful for pointing the way to do this and any thoughts. P.S. Sorry for my english. -- Vytenis

[Dovecot] Distributed indexes, maildir_copy_preserve_filename, and Microsoft
by Jack Stewart 30 Aug '08

30 Aug '08

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

[Dovecot] sieve forward/redirect to multiple addresses
by Anil 30 Aug '08

30 Aug '08

How can I do this with Sieve? I have a script like this: if header :value "ge" :comparator "i;ascii-numeric" ["X-Spam-Score"] ["25"] { discard; stop; } elsif header :value "ge" :comparator "i;ascii-numeric" ["X-Spam-Score"] ["5"] { fileinto "Junk"; stop; } else { redirect "user(a)test.com"; redirect "user(a)example.com"; keep; } Only the first redirect seems to be honored, the 2nd is not. The only other alternative I see is that I have to create an alias that contains those two addresses, and then I redirect to that alias -- but I would prefer if I can do this through sieve itself. Thanks very much, sorry this is not Dovecot question... but this is on a Dovecot mail server. :)

[Dovecot] sparc quota bug
by dovecot＠lechtermann.net 30 Aug '08

30 Aug '08

Hi, I am getting the following error: dovecot: Jul 23 18:04:44 Error: child 7600 (imap) killed with signal 10 How to reproduce: Try to delete or move a mail to another folder.

[Dovecot] Deliver autocreate with auto-subscribe?
by Paul Reilly 30 Aug '08

30 Aug '08

Hello, I'm using dovecot with postfix configured for address extensions, so email to me+folder(a)mydomain.com <me%2Bfolder(a)mydomain.com>, automatically is handed off to dovecot deliver, which sees there is no folder called "folder" and autocreates it. This is brilliant, as it means I can give out subject orrientated email addresses, and the mail is automatically put in the right mailbox :) I love dovecot with postfix. However, my problem is my IMAP client (roundcube and HordeIMP) does not see the newly created folder. I have to manually subscribe it in the webmail client, or I have to add the folder to the "subscriptions" file in my home dir. So my question is, can the deliver command which auto-creates this folder, also add it to the subscriptions file? It seems like it just needs another switch on the command line. http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA Is this currently possible, and if not, what code do I need to hack to make it work? Thanks Paul

[Dovecot] Sorting a folder (by THREAD) takes a long time
by Asheesh Laroia 30 Aug '08

30 Aug '08

My email workflow with Dovecot is that mail gets delivered to INBOX, where I handle it and then move it into a folder called archive. I have alpine set to use the Default sort of "THREAD" of a folder. After moving a (few) mail(s) from INBOX to archive, archive takes a long time (10-50s) to load while alpine tells me: [Sorting "archive" ... ] (I can do the IMAP traces, but I figure alpine's terminology is going to be so similar to IMAP terminology that it should be straightforward enough for Timo to know what I'm talking about.) I don't actually know enough about Dovecot to say for sure what makes this slow, but maybe it's just indexes not being updated? What might be making this slow, and what hope is there for it being fast? (-: It seems like the really nice thing to do would be, after the save, in the background examine the archive folder and update whatever caches need to be updated. The more work that happens while I'm not waiting, the happier I'll be! (Same goes for my mom, and the other less-technical users of Dovecot.) Is this the kind of thing I could write a plugin for...? -- Asheesh. -- It seems to make an auto driver mad if he misses you.

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

Hi All My first post to the list, so "hello world"! Having searched the list archives and the wiki for an answer to this, I don't think it is possible. However, let me ask nonetheless... Is it possible for a Dovecot proxy's login process (IMAP and POP3) to include the "destuser", i.e. the uid used to authenticate to the backend IMAP/POP3 server, in its logging? "%u" gives me the uid provided by the client of course, but it would useful for my purposes to catch the "destuser" in the same log line. The only way to get the proxy to log "destuser" at all, as far as I can figure out, is to enable "auth debug" - not something I want to do in a production environment.

[Dovecot] Wishlist: TLS,SSL cipher in a variable.
by R A 30 Aug '08

30 Aug '08

Hello again. Just thought I'd ask and see if it would be possible to get this sometime in the future: TLS and SSL connection information in a variable like %c today, but more exhaustive. For example I can from postfix get a log like: postfix/smtpd[432]: Anonymous TLS connection established from xxxxxx: TLSv1 with cipher DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA (256/256 bits) This would be nice to see if you have a fairly low permissive level, to identify potential weak clients and be able to notify these to start with while still allowing connections. -Roger

[Dovecot] Problem with squirrelmail and dovecot 1.1
by Gerhard Wiesinger 30 Aug '08

30 Aug '08

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

[Dovecot] mailbox lock

Hello! I need to use my lock method into the dovecot to block a mailbox. I am using maildir format, is there an API that I can implement? I need it because there are others systems which already use my lock method.

[Dovecot] maildir, zlib and mtime/internal date
by Richard Platel 29 Aug '08

29 Aug '08

On the wiki: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Zlib I think there should be a step 5.0. along the lines of "get and remember the original message file's mtime" And a step 5.4 like "Using the touch command or some other method, set the now compressed message's mtime back to the mtime of the original message file." To preserve the message's internal time in case the indices ever get rebuilt. Does this sound right?

[Dovecot] Sieve fileinto a subfolder fails
by Rich McAllister 29 Aug '08

29 Aug '08

I'm using Dovecot 1.0.10 on Ubuntu 8.04, using the packages from the distro; exim4 is my MTA and it's configured according to the instructions in the wiki, everything is working fine for delivery into the Maildir INBOX via Dovecot's LDA and reading mail via IMAP using Thunderbird. My habit on previous mail systems was to create a Lists folder and subfolders under Lists for each mailing list I subscribe to. I tried to use Dovecot sieve to sort mail into the folders with sieve filters like require "fileinto"; if header :contains "Subject" "[NCCC]" { fileinto "Lists/NCCC"; } else { keep; } I created Lists/NCCC via Thunderbird (so I could set the "check this folder for new mail property") but when Dovecot tries to deliver into the folder, I get the log message msgid=<...>: Couldn't open mailbox Lists/NCCC: Invalid mailbox name If I use just fileinto "NCCC"; it works fine, going into a NCCC folder not in a subfolder as expected. Is there some other syntax for specifying folder/subfolder names in Dovecot sieve, or do I just have to live with the folders all at the top level? Rich dovecot -n shows: # 1.0.10: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: maildir:/arda/export/mail/%u/Maildir auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd

[Dovecot] Sieve fileinto a subfolder fails -- more info, possible workaround
by Rich McAllister 29 Aug '08

29 Aug '08

After looking at the way Maildir represents subfolders, I changed the sieve line from fileinto "Lists/NCCC"; to fileinto "Lists.NCCC"; and now it files into the NCCC subfolder of Lists as I wanted. I'm not sure whether this is the expected behavior or just an accident that plugging that string into the file name happens to result in the right name. I haven't tried, but if it's just passing the fileinto argument along with minimal inspection, I'm afraid the answer might be use "Lists/NCCC" if mail is in mbox format but "Lists.NCCC" if mail is in Maildirs, and it certainly seems that users editing their sieve scripts shouldn't have to know that. Rich dovecot -n shows: # 1.0.10: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: maildir:/arda/export/mail/%u/Maildir auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd

[Dovecot] Dovecot - T-Bird - RETR command failed
by Calvin Gordon 29 Aug '08

29 Aug '08

I have recently installed new untangle firewalls ( untangle.com) in Bridge mode at two office locations. Both offices collect mail from a Fedora 9, postfix,dovecot server at location #1. Since the install of the untangles i have been plagued by Thunderbird Errors while trying to POP email. The error says "RETR" command failed. If the user logs into the webmail (Squirrelmail) on the mail server and cleans out his inbox by deleting all existing mail, T-Bird starts operating again. This error has repeated itself without a pattern i can identify dozens of time over the last few weeks. No other email client displays errors.

[Dovecot] Online backup with dovecot
by Johan 'yosh' Marklund 29 Aug '08

29 Aug '08

Hi! Do you guys/girls (whichever you prefer) know if it's possible (i.e. in some semitransparent/easy way) to incorporate an online backup system? If the mail is older than a set amount of days it gets compressed. I want my mail storage size to shrink but on the other hand I want to keep the mails I get and have them easily readable :) I'm thinking of symlinks and some kind of gzip fuse filesystem... Please save me ,) /yosh

[Dovecot] LDA qmail - vpopmail
by Ron Culler 28 Aug '08

28 Aug '08

I am trying to setup LDA with qmail/vpopmail to use the expire plugin and I am getting errors about auth-master (Can't connect to auth server at /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/auth-master: No such file or directory) The auth default section of the dovecot.conf is set to use vpopmail(mysql) and that works great for IMAP access. Can anyone share a config for using the expire plugin with qmail/vpopmail? I was wanting to put the preline commands in the .qmail-default files on a per-domain basis. /home/vpopmail/domains/domain1.com/.qmail-default But to start I tried just putting it into the .qmail file for an individual user. Thanks Ron Culler

[Dovecot] Dovecot IMAP INBOX Namespace iPhone
by Andrew Goldschmidt 28 Aug '08

28 Aug '08

Hi Guys, Our ISP who is hosting our email, recently moved our domain's email onto a new mail server, which is apparently running Dovecot, and has support for IMAP. * OK Dovecot ready. Most of the email clients have not had a problem moving from the old server to the new server. But some have! Including the iPhone users. The problem is that the INBOX is not directly accessible through the email client. (The following work perfectly: Outlook, Outlook Express, Thunderbird - even though the INBOX is NOT specifically returned in the list of subscribed folders, it is there, with emails in it) 006 SELECT INBOX * FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft $Forwarded $MDNSent Junk NonJunk) * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft $Forwarded $MDNSent Junk NonJunk \*)] Flags permitted. * 49 EXISTS * 0 RECENT * OK [UIDVALIDITY 1211291159] UIDs valid * OK [UIDNEXT 458] Predicted next UID 006 OK [READ-WRITE] Select completed. The iPhone simply refuses to allow access into the INBOX, but children folders work 100%. http://img395.imageshack.us/img395/891/img0003ui8.png I think that it has something to do with this: 006 LIST "" "*" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "Junk E-mail" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "Deleted Items" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "Drafts" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "Sent" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.Work" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.Friends" 006 OK List completed. There is NO INBOX specifically returned ... Zimbra Desktop Client refuses to even load any messages from the Inbox. Is this a problem at all? Is this something that my ISP should be able to fix? Is this a problem that can be fixed? http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/6793/thunderbirdmi8.jpg http://img365.imageshack.us/img365/1165/outlookul6.jpg Any ideas ??? Andrew

[Dovecot] migrating from specialized qpopper
by Cruzio Research 28 Aug '08

28 Aug '08

I'm hoping to migrate to dovecot from qpopper, with the eventual goal of enabling IMAP. However, my qpopper installation is fairly specialized, so I thought I'd ask here to see if anyone could get me headed down the best path. Here's the situation. I'm running FreeBSD and have a virtual domains setup with an extremely hacked LDA to do delivery to mailboxes within hashed directories under each virtual domain. Each domain also has a separate password file. This is NOT any virtual domain setup that you'd be familiar with, as it is an in-house creation that is about 9 years old now. I have 8000 users utilizing mailboxes on these domains, so having them reconfigure to use realms/domains in their login isn't really an option. With qpopper, we run it from inetd and use hosts.allow to call each instance with special information about the password file location, etc, like this: popper: ALL : twist (/pathto/bin/popper -d -s -T 300 -h %H -p /pathto/www.%H/passwd -x /pathto/www.%H/spool) This allows us to insert the domain (%H) based on what hostname the user is connecting to and change parameters based on that. Would their be any easy way to do this with dovecot? Thanks in advance for your help. Mark

[Dovecot] Dovecot and "deliver" disagree on character encodings
by Björn Persson 28 Aug '08

28 Aug '08

Hi, I have a problem where Dovecot and its LDA seem to disagree on what character encoding should be used in Maildir names. I use Dovecot and Postfix on a Debian server. Mail is delivered by Dovecot LDA (called from .forward) and sorted according to a Sieve script into a number of Maildir folders in my home directory. Dovecot serves the mail over IMAP and I read it in Kmail. I originally created the mail folders with Kmail, and Dovecot created the directories with their names encoded in modified UTF-7, like in IMAP. The Sieve script is encoded in UTF-8, in accordance with RFC 3028. When the Sieve script specifies a mail folder with non-English letters in the name, the LDA doesn't put the messages in the corresponding modified-UTF-7-encoded directory. Instead it creates a new directory with the same name but encoded in UTF-8. That directory doesn't show up as a mail folder in Kmail, presumably because Dovecot considers the UTF-8-encoded name invalid. The Dovecot I got with Debian isn't exactly the most recent version. I searched for "Maildir", "deliver" and "Sieve" in the changelog, and didn't find anything about this. Should I consider upgrading anyway, abandoning the Debian package? Here are the details: Debian Etch (4.0) Dovecot 1.0.rc15 I don't know how to find out the version number of the Sieve plugin but it's the one that came with Dovecot in the Debian package.

[Dovecot] multiple password schemes and sql?
by R A 28 Aug '08

28 Aug '08

Hello all. Just about to migrate from courier to dovecot, and figured I would as well try and get this working so I could use non plaintext mechanisms as well. I would like to offer at least: plain login digest-md5 cram-md5 and maybe more Everything works but this and have a testdb in sql with passwords like userid, password But get "Password query returned multiple matches" which indicates it doesnt try using any prefix and just get a hit on all "passwords" for that user. Is there any variable I can use in the sql query to use an extra field that contains the password type? plain and login should be stored in some crypted form, probably as md5 or sha256 hashes. Thankful for any insight into this...

[Dovecot] syncml with server push email
by Harondel J. Sibble 28 Aug '08

28 Aug '08

Any recommendations for server push email using syncml and dovecot? I am familiar with Funambol for syncing pim info, but not used it for email. Are there any recommended opensource or commercial syncml servers that are known to integrate nicely with Dovecot 1.x? Googling hasn't really turned up much in the way of useful info. To mix it up a little, I was using Funambol for the Pim stuff, but ran into a bunch of issues and switched to eGroupWare which has it's own syncml ability which works quite nicely with my pda. I stopped using Funambol as the server didn't properly deal with the conversion from vcal to ical and as a result appointments synced on the pda end, always ended up 8 hours early :-( This was going from ThunderBird to Windows Mobile, so I am hoping to avoid this happening again. -- Harondel J.

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

28 Aug '08

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

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

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

26 Aug '08

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

Hi I'm doing a network install of Dovecot 1.1.2. All is fine apart from a little annoying mistake I've found: I do this: > ./configure --prefix=/appli/tools_Linux/dovecot/1.1.2 --localstatedir=/var && make && make install however, since the --localstatedir is equal to a default value, it is still being constructed as "PREFIX/var" for some reason and in effect produces binary with following strings being built-in: > strings dovecot | grep var /appli/tools/dovecot/1.1.2/var/lib/dovecot /appli/tools/dovecot/1.1.2/var/run/dovecot /appli/tools/dovecot/1.1.2/var/lib/dovecot/ssl-parameters.dat /appli/tools/dovecot/1.1.2/var/lib/dovecot/ssl-parameters.dat var-expand.c var_expand_table_build So, the question is, is this a bug or my understanding wrong? I just need a network install, using local /var directiories for runtime data. Imagine that I have no write permissions to the installation (--prefix) folder.

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

25 Aug '08

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

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

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

22 Aug '08

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

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

22 Aug '08

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

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

22 Aug '08

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

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

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

[Dovecot] dovecot-antispam: Failed to read mail beginning, Next message unexpectedly lost

Hello, I'm trying to configure the dovecot-antispam plugin. Now I've run into a problem: whenever I try to move/copy a message in/from the spam mailbox, Thunderbird (and also Sylpheed, haven't tried anything else) says: The current command did not succeed. The mail server responded: Failed to read mail beginning. and in the logs I get: dovecot: Aug 07 10:41:23 Error: IMAP(username): Next message unexpectedly lost from 337928 dovecot: Aug 07 10:41:23 Error: IMAP(username): Next message unexpectedly lost from 337928 The message is not moved/copied.

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

22 Aug '08

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

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

22 Aug '08

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

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

22 Aug '08

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

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

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

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

21 Aug '08

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

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

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

> I suppose the OP does not sort by date but Arrival time (this means arrival time in the mailbox). Exactly. I sort by arrival time, which in practice is the "unsorted" ordering based upon the mbox file itself.

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

21 Aug '08

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

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

21 Aug '08

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

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

21 Aug '08

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

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

20 Aug '08

Hello, I'm a developer on the Orbited project (http://www.orbited.org) which provides a TCPSocket interface in javascript (emulated over HTTP using ajax and comet.) This TCPSocket allows true bi-directional communication between a web browser and an arbitrary tcp server. One of the other developers pointed me to a recent dovecot thread about webmail. Sorry for the new thread (I just joined this list and couldn't reply to the old emails). Timo Sirainen wrote Wed Aug 13 23:37:11 EEST 2008: > I wrote this a while ago: http://imapwiki.org/ClientImplementation > > One thing that would be nice, that pretty much no webmail does, is to > keep a stateful connection open all the time (or at least some of the > time) instead of creating tons of short-lived connections that ask the > same stuff over and over again. With a stateful connection you could > basically run IDLE and wait for changes there instead of asking all > the time "is there new mail?" "is there new mail now?" "what about > now?". Coincidentally, we have just began work on a JavaScript IMAP client. With it, building a webmail app should be *entirely* a UI concern. The good news is that our Socket interface is very stable and is being used in production for protocols like IRC for webchat. The bad news is that none of the the Orbited developers have experience with the IMAP protocol. We are putting all of our protocol implementations in the soon-to-launch js.io project (www.js.io) As soon as we have any kind of IMAP client prototype, I'll let you know. In the meantime, would anyone be interesting in helping us develop the imap client? Its 100% pure JavaScript, and will greatly ease the development of feature-rich webmail, as a webmail deployment will become a matter of simply running Dovecot, the js.io.imap client, and an HTML gui. -Michael Carter

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

20 Aug '08

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

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

19 Aug '08

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

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

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

18 Aug '08

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

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

17 Aug '08

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

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

16 Aug '08

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

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

16 Aug '08

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

If you learned and then nuked some headers for example, the file size would change and that would be an issue if you storage that in the filename (they wouldn't match) as well as the dovecot index for imap/pop would be off potentially.

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

15 Aug '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, this may be an obvious logical problem I'm not aware of, which cannot be solved any more efficiently... but maybe it's just a bug or there is potential for optimisation in Dovecot (or Thunderbird?). When searching for multiple terms at once ("any of") with Thunderbird/Dovecot (using FTS Squat indexes), it takes much longer (not double the time, or a bit more than that, but really much, much longer) than when I search for only one term. Here are some figures (the IMAP commands are shown as issued by Thunderbird and recorded by Dovecot rawlog). While searching, I can see the 'imap' process using 100% CPU time.

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

15 Aug '08

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

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

15 Aug '08

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

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

14 Aug '08

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

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

14 Aug '08

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

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

14 Aug '08

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

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

14 Aug '08

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

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

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

14 Aug '08

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

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

14 Aug '08

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

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

13 Aug '08

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

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

13 Aug '08

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

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

13 Aug '08

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

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

13 Aug '08

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

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

13 Aug '08

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

How do we start troubleshooting this? deliver(user(a)example.com): Aug 12 18:27:19 Error: Sendmail process terminated abnormally, exit status 70 deliver(user(a)example.com): Aug 12 18:27:19 Info: sieve runtime error: Vacation: Error sending mail deliver(user(a)example.com): Aug 12 18:27:19 Info: msgid=<48A20E3C.7070307(a)example.com>: saved mail to INBOX deliver(user(a)example.com): Aug 12 18:27:19 Error: sieve_execute_bytecode(/var/vmail/example.com/user//Home/.dovecot.sievec) failed It seems to only choke on the vacation portion. It creates entries in the ".dovecot.lda-dupes" file. But then dies while sending the reply e-mail.

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

13 Aug '08

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

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

13 Aug '08

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

[Dovecot] problems with sieve and lda
by Harondel J. Sibble 13 Aug '08

Okay, after reading the wiki and list archives, I am confused. I am attemping to get the deliver LDA working on a centos 5.1 system # rpm -qa | grep dovecot dovecot-1.0.7-2.el5 dovecot-sieve-1.0.2-6.el5 # rpm -qa | grep postfix postfix-2.3.3-2 so that I can use Sieve for mail filtering to imap folders, I am using the mbox format Following the wiki here for system users http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Postfix I never get any info in the logs about cmusieve, the only way I see anything show up is if I add the transport settings to postfix/master.cf or see below >From reading the list archives, as best as I can tell, the only time I need to make the changes in postfix's master.cf is if I am using a virtual environment, otherwise for local delivery, all I need is the mailbox_command setting in postfix/main.cf However with that setting, I get nothing! If I then run deliver from the command line as per a couple of mailling postings, cat /etc/hosts | /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d localaccount(a)mydomain.com -f mygmailaccount(a)gmail.com I get deliver(localaccount(a)mydomail.com): Aug 10 22:07:17 Info: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/lda deliver(localaccount(a)mydomail.com): Aug 10 22:07:17 Info: Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/lda/lib90_cmusieve_plugin.so deliver(localaccount(a)mydomail.com): Aug 10 22:07:17 Error: Can't connect to auth server at /var/run/dovecot/auth-master: No such file or directory Config stuff (dovecot -n) # 1.0.7: /etc/dovecot.conf log_path: /var/log/dovecot/dovecot.log info_log_path: /var/log/dovecot/dovecot.log protocols: imaps pop3s listen(default): *:143 listen(imap): *:143 listen(pop3): [::] ssl_listen(default): *:943 ssl_listen(imap): *:943 ssl_listen(pop3): ssl_cert_file: /etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.cert ssl_key_file: /etc/pki/tls/private/my.domain.tld.key verbose_ssl: yes login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login mail_location: mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u:INDEX=~/mail/.imap/.imap/indexes/ mail_debug: yes mail_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd postfix/main.cf has mailbox_commmand = /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver A .dovecot.sieve file with the following contents for testing purposes is located at ~/mail require "fileinto"; if header :comparator "i;ascii-casemap" :contains "Subject" "**SPAM**" { fileinto "Trash"; stop; } The LDA section from the dovecot.conf file protocol lda { # Address to use when sending rejection mails. # postmaster_address = # 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_plugin_dir = /usr/lib/dovecot/lda mail_plugins = cmusieve # Binary to use for sending mails. #sendmail_path = /usr/lib/sendmail # UNIX socket path to master authentication server to find users. #auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master #sieve_global_path = script_path = ~/.dovecot.sieve log_path = /var/log/dovecot/deliverlog info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot/deliverlog debug = yes } What am I missing here to getting this working -- Harondel J.

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

13 Aug '08

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

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

13 Aug '08

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

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

13 Aug '08

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

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

13 Aug '08

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

[Dovecot] restrict webmail access
by Jan 12 Aug '08

12 Aug '08

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

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

12 Aug '08

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

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

12 Aug '08

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

[Dovecot] Dovecot crashing

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Sent an e-mail off as was detailed here: http://wiki.dovecot.org/MboxProblems for crashes but I also wanted to see if any of you folks had insight into the issue.
