[Dovecot] userdb section order seems important in config file
by Ken A 24 May '13

24 May '13

Hi Timo, et al, I'm using Dovecot 2.2.2, with dict file based quota and a quota_rule in dovecot.conf. I have userdb configured like so: userdb { driver = passwd-file args = /etc/dovecot/passwd-file } userdb { driver = passwd } I get the behavior I want with a single line in the passwd-file for any users that I'd like to override the default quota. BUT, if I list the userdb sections in the reverse order, with the driver=passwd first, then the quotas in passwd-file are ignored. I have a feeling I am counting on undocumented behavior that might change in the future. Or is this okay to depend on? Thanks, Ken -- Ken Anderson Pacific Internet - http://www.pacific.net

[Dovecot] Is it possible to palce "detailed" (with local+folder@domai.com) messages not to INBOX/folder, but to INBOX/FixedSubfolder/folder?
by Lev Serebryakov 24 May '13

24 May '13

Hello, Dovecot. Now, with enabled "recipient_delimiter = +", "lmtp_save_to_detail_mailbox" and using LMTP, messages with "detail" in address, are placed in auto-created mailboxes. It is great, but what if I want to put all such mailboxes not in inbox directly, but lower in mailbox hierarchy? Is it possible without using sieve? -- // Black Lion AKA Lev Serebryakov <lev(a)serebryakov.spb.ru>

[Dovecot] problem with proxy setup
by Claus 23 May '13

23 May '13

Hi all, i have some troubles in the implementation of my proxyconfiguration. i have two kind of users, the first will be proxied to a dovecot backend with masteruser-login, the other one will be proxied to another non-dovecot imapserver with nopassword. Everything looks to work if i use passwd-file like this: user1:{PLAIN}pass1:::::::proxy=y host=192.168.1.1 destuser=user1*masteruser pass=masterpass user2::::::::nopassword proxy=y host=192.168.2.2 In an second step i try the same behavior with sql (postgresql), but there are my problems. In my thinking, the sql query should return the right fields (in passwd-file) like proxy, host, .. but whats the trick, to get only the correct fields i need for the different funktions? first proxy, host, destuser, pass and on the other side nopassword, proxy and host. Maybe i have mistakes in reasoning, but in sql i get in one query always the same fields. I hope someone can give me some hints an tricks. thanks, Claus

[Dovecot] should dovecot store maildir files with CRLF or LF?
by Christoph Anton Mitterer 22 May '13

22 May '13

Hi. I've made a strange observation. When having Dovecot (at least) with maildir and moving (via IMAP) mail received by some client (Evolution 3.4) into it the following happens: Regardless of whether the mail was originally(!) set with CRLF or LF (i.e. when I use netcat to submit the plain SMTP to the relaying MTA). When the client (Evolution) had received the mail via POP3 before moving it via IMAP into Dovecot... then the maildir file within dovecot is all LF. When the client however received it via IMAP, before in turn moving it on via IMAP into Dovecot, then the maildir file is mixed CRLF and LF, i.e. the body is CRLF, the headers are terminated... Well the actually bug here is probably in Evolution (as so many others... o.O)... but I wondered... what is Dovecot expected to write files? Platform end-of-line markers (i.e. LF in case of UNIX) or always network end-of-line markers (CRLF)? Cheers, Chris.

[Dovecot] ACLs - creating new top level folders
by Ingo Rogalsky 22 May '13

22 May '13

Hi, I'm wondering, whether it's possible, to define an ACL on the mailbox itself. We use Dovecot 1.2.15 (included in Debian 6) and maildir filesystem layout: /home/mail01/user1/Maildir/new \ /home/mail01/user1/Maildir/cur Inbox /home/mail01/user1/Maildir/tmp / /home/mail01/user1/Maildir/.folder1/new \ /home/mail01/user1/Maildir/.folder1/cur folder1 /home/mail01/user1/Maildir/.folder1/tmp / ... Assigning an ACL with full access rights for user2 to the folder Inbox works as expected. user2 can create subfolders of Inbox, too. But he can't create a new folder like folder1 parallel to Inbox. Is there a possibility of defining an ACL on the mailbox of user1 itself? Or do we need to create all subfolders beneath Inbox like this is usual with other IMAP servers?

[Dovecot] dsync-2.2.2 incorrectly synchronizes subscription status of deleted mailbox
by Karol Jurak 22 May '13

22 May '13

Hi, It seems that dsync-2.2.2 doesn't correctly synchronize subscription status of a deleted mailbox. The situation is as follows. There are two servers: A and B, and a test user test_mdbox. Mailboxes (mdbox) of this user on both servers are synchronized. Specifically on both of them there is a Trash/x mailbox. Replication plugin is disabled. I delete Thrash/x mailbox on A with Thunderbird. The relevant IMAP commands issued are: 71 87.068176 10.4.0.13 10.1.107.144 IMAP Request: 9 delete "Trash/x" 72 87.072238 10.1.107.144 10.4.0.13 IMAP Response: 9 OK Delete completed. 73 87.073736 10.4.0.13 10.1.107.144 IMAP Request: 10 unsubscribe "Trash/x" 74 87.085263 10.1.107.144 10.4.0.13 IMAP Response: 10 OK Unsubscribe completed. Inspecting output of 'doveadm mailbox list' and contents of subscriptions file shows that everything is as expected, ie. mailbox was deleted and unsubscribed. Moreover in dovecot.mailbox.log on A the following records appear: #480: delete-mailbox 3f3eb117a51c9a51d8280000f671379f (2013-05-20 14:54:40) #504: delete-dir f91e44cab57821aa456b525c7a2f1d7e (2013-05-20 14:54:40) #528: unsubscribe f91e44cab57821aa456b525c7a2f1d7e (2013-05-20 14:54:40) Subsequently I run 'doveadm sync -u test_mdbox -d'. It causes an entry for Thrash/x to reappear in subscriptions file on both servers and the following records are appended to dovecot.mailbox.log on B: #2112: delete-mailbox 3f3eb117a51c9a51d8280000f671379f (2013-05-20 14:55:49) #2136: delete-dir f91e44cab57821aa456b525c7a2f1d7e (2013-05-20 14:55:49) On A this record is added: #552: subscribe f91e44cab57821aa456b525c7a2f1d7e (2013-05-20 14:55:49) So, in described situation, dsync subscribes a mailbox on a server it was deleted on instead of unsubscribing it on the other one. -- Karol Jurak

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.2.1 LDA and sieve (lack of) errors
by Jim McNamara 22 May '13

22 May '13

Hello again, all. Of course after posting yesterday that all was well with my setup, turns out all is not well. The problem I'm having is with dovecot-lda functioning and making deliveries to my mailbox, but the sieve scripts don't seem to have any effect. Attempts at logging what is/isn't happening have been total failures. Managesieve seems to work fine, port 4190 is open on the server and it allows the tunderbird plugin to function, I can create and edit scripts with the plugin. For some reason it doesn't seem to auto-compile the scripts to binary form, but if I just need to do that manually I can live with it. I only mention the lack of auto-compiling in case that sheds light on what is wrong with the LDA or sieve. I'm running the current dovecot, 2.2.1 along with pigeonhole 0.4.0.

Re: [Dovecot] Outlook 2013 - mounting folders with XLIST
by Hajo Locke 21 May '13

21 May '13

Hello, >> i do some tests with dovecot 2.1.7 and activated a default special-use >> config. To get it work with outlook 2013, i also added XLIST to imap >> capability string. basically this is working. >> >> is somebody also using special-use folders successful with outlook 2013? > yes, testet a few times, works fine, without Junk folder , cause > outlook wants this handled by it own, but i ve seen reg patches to > change this My serverside setup now is completed. I did a lot of tests last weeks and experienced some strange behaviour of some clients. Outlook 2013 is only working when adding XLIST manually to imap_capability imap_capability = +XLIST This is because outlook 2013 not supports rfc 6154 but the deprecated XLIST standard invented by google. So the problem with junkfolder is not a bug in Outlook 2013, in rfc 6154 spamfolder is tagged by \Junk, in XLIST standard \Spam is used. I did see that when using a gmailaccount in outlook 2013. Adding XLIST capability to dovecot seems to be a problem for other Clients. k9 is able to work with rfc 6154 servers. But if k9 finds XLIST and SPECIAL-USE together in capabilitystring it seems to prefer XLIST requests. Because of dovecot is accepting XLIST requests, but outputs rfc 6154 details, k9 seems to be confused and dont finds special Folders. rfc 6154 is similar but not identical to XLIST. If you dont test with really individual foldernames, you get tricked by clients behaviour. I looked around and the most imap-servers of hosting companies etc. provide XLIST feature, Special-USE unfortunately only a few. So i did now some changes to dovecot sources on my own. I added \Spam as allowed special-use attribute and created a new function for XLIST Requests. So if XLIST is requested, Clients gets lines of output with XLIST and \Junk is replaced with \Spam. So all is done in the code and i dont need to change my userdb-config. Testing this server with different clients was successful. All of them did find their special folders and worked fine, outlook 2013 also finds spamfolder now. So this changes contribute to consolidate a deprecated standard but i have to find a way where all users can benefit from new features. This is not a request to change something in dovecot, this is a call to decision makers to support one rfc Standard. Hajo

[Dovecot] Configure dovecot to provide SASL authentication
by Peter Skensved 21 May '13

21 May '13

Hi, I'm trying to get dovecot to provide SASL authentication for postfix My setup appears to be working but I'm not 100% certain I've got it right. I've come across several examples for dovecot version 1 but I'm running 2.0.9. The output of doveconf -n is here : 2.0.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-279.2.1.el6.x86_64 x86_64 CentOS release 6.3 (Final) auth_debug = yes auth_verbose = yes disable_plaintext_auth = no mbox_write_locks = fcntl passdb { driver = pam } protocols = imap service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { mode = 0666 } } ssl_cert = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = passwd } Specifically : are the "service auth", userdb and passdb sections correct ? And the mode ? Or is it too permissive ? For completeness the postfix setup is here : smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous # smtpd_delay_reject = yes smtpd_helo_required = yes smtpd_helo_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, reject_non_fqdn_helo_hostname, reject_invalid_helo_hostname, permit # smtpd_sender_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, reject_non_fqdn_sender, reject_unknown_sender_domain, permit # smtpd_recipient_restrictions = reject_unauth_pipelining, reject_non_fqdn_recipient, reject_unknown_recipient_domain, permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_unauth_destination, permit # peter ---- Peter Skensved Dept. of Physics, Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada

[Dovecot] How to configure ssl cert chain in dovecot 10-ssl.conf file
by Bu Xiaobing 21 May '13

21 May '13

Hi there, Does anyone know how to do this: "Put all the certificates in the ssl_cert file. For example when using a certificate signed by TDC the correct order is: Dovecot's public certificate TDC SSL Server CA TDC Internet Root CA Globalsign Partners CA " I try to set these parameters in the conf.d/10-ssl.conf as below, but it seems doesn't work. --- ssl_cert = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/mail.mymailserver.com.crt ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot/sub.class1.server.ca.pem ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot/ca.pem ---- I even cat mail.mymailserver.com.crt sub.class1.server.ca.pem certs/dovecot/ca.pem into one singe file, and define ssl_cert = < /path/to/the/singcertfile.pem, but it doesn't work too. In my apache httpd server httpd.conf file I can define: -- SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/pki/dovecot/certs/sub.class1.server.ca.pem SSLCACertificateFile /etc/pki/dovecot/certs/ca.pem -- And it well work fine. Thinks for any suggest. Bu Xiaobing

I've tested pipe with spam.sh that redirects stdin to /dev/null and returns 0 but errors were logged anyway. Note that spam.sh runs, getting the message from sieve and processing it to spamassassin without a problem, but "broken pipe" is being logged.

[Dovecot] v2.2.2 + dsync version incompatibility

Looks like dsync v2.2.2 isn't fully compatible with earlier dsync versions, unless you add: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.2/rev/e0156c479a12

[Dovecot] Linking mdbox directories
by Alex Crow 20 May '13

20 May '13

Hi Timo/list, We have a scenario in which some email accounts on dovecot (stored in mdbox, separate paths for indexes, email, ALT storage and also using SIS for attachments, LDAP directory) need their names changed. I know we could just change the mail LDAP attribute (and leave mailMessageStore alone) so they keep the same directories on disk, but this would throw a spanner in the works for our backups. Would it be possible to create a hard link of the user's directories under the new name, and change the LDAP mailMessageStore attribute to point to these without stopping and starting dovecot? And after a while unlink the original locations? Or would this mess up dovecot's internal state?
