[Dovecot] finding messages deleted before timespec
by Sven Hartge 04 Sep '12

04 Sep '12

Hi! I've been pondering about doveadm-search-query(7) and trying to formulate a search query for some time now and it seems there is no way to search for messages, which have been marked DELETED before a certain time. I want to use this to expunge all DELETED messages which have been in that state for 24h or longer. For example a cronjob runs at midnight to expunge those messages but a user deletes one just 10 minutes before that, this message should not be deleted until the day after. This is my first time diving deeper into IMAP search queries so I have the nagging feeling I am missing something important here. Grüße, Sven. -- Sigmentation fault. Core dumped.

[Dovecot] doveadm command to block a user?
by Angel L. Mateo 04 Sep '12

04 Sep '12

Hello, Is there any command to be able to lock imap access to a specific user? With doveadm kick I could close his connections, but I want to avoid future ones too and just for imap. Any way to do it? -- Angel L. Mateo Martínez Sección de Telemática Área de Tecnologías de la Información y las Comunicaciones Aplicadas (ATICA) http://www.um.es/atica Tfo: 868887590 Fax: 868888337

This is the first part for Mozilla Thunderbird setup. I've seen this work both on Win32 systems and linux systems (mainly Linux Mint). There's a part on pop3/smtp. I am sure you can skip that and do your own magic for those two protocols : Pre-Installation, Wizard Configuration -------------------------------------- During initial Thunderbird startup, the admin is greeted by a welcome window named “Mail Account Setup” Click on Cancel Installation ------------ Click on “Edit” -> “Account Settings” New window pops up Click on “Add” New window pops up Fill in “Description” (e.g. “Name Surname mailbox”) On “Server Name” enter the IP address (e.g. 192.168.3.5) On “Port” enter the SMTP port (e.g. 25) On “Security and Authentication” → “Connection Security” enter none On “Authentication Method” choose Password transmitted insecurely On “Username” enter the users' username including the FQDN (e.g. name(a)domain.gr) Click on OK From “Edit”, click on “Account Settings” From “Account Actions” click on “Add Mail Account” New windows pops up Enter in the same name for “Your name” Enter in the same e-mail address for “Email address” On “Password” enter in users' password Click on “Continue” then without waiting click on “Manual Config” Once “Manual Config” is clicked, thunderbird will allow the admin to perform additional configuration tasks For “Incoming” the admin will choose “IMAP”, Server Hostname will be set to the servers' IP address (again, 192.168.3.5) From “Port” choose “993” From “SSL” choose “SSL/TLS” From “Authentication” choose “Autodetect” For “Outgoing” the admin will let the “SMTP” option For “Server Hostname”, choose the same IP address (e.g. 192.168.3.5) For “Port” choose “25” For “SSL” choose “None” For “Authentication” choose “Normal Password” On the Username field, enter the full user name, e.g. “user(a)domain.xn--gr-02t Click on “Re-test” Click on “Create Account” Check on the “I understand the Risks” checkbox Click on “Create Account” Click on “Confirm Security Exception” Click on “OK” Hope this helps and best regards, Spyros ---- "I merely function as a channel that filters music through the chaos of noise" - Vangelis

[Dovecot] dovecot-antispam and Thunderbird, Outlook, etc.
by Eddy Ilg|univation 04 Sep '12

04 Sep '12

Hi, In the documentation of dovecot-antispam it is mentioned that moving mails out of the spam folders trains them as non-spam. I.e. thunderbird automatically deletes old spam messages (after a time limit, i.e. 14 days). Will this also train the old spam messages as non-spam? Cheers, Eddy

[Dovecot] Imap Ghost folder
by Sascha Zucca 03 Sep '12

03 Sep '12

Hi list, i have a strange "ghost" folder in my subscription list and just can't find out how to get rid of it. It seems to be someones Inbox, but it doesn't tell me whose. Here's a screenshot of Open-Xchanges Web-GUI: /http://s9.postimage.org/6aohh97ov/iehadjhb.jpg / As you can see there is an unamed folder just under Freigaben (Shares). In Thunderbird: /http://s12.postimage.org/z0n82k2u5/bjddgefg.jpg/ Now the Folder is "INBOX"...But it is noones Inbox, as the corresponding user (amazon e.g.) should be a prefix-folder right before the share. some output over Telnet: 1 lsub "" "*" * LSUB () "/" "INBOX" * LSUB () "/" "INBOX/Amazon" * LSUB () "/" "INBOX/Bestellung" * LSUB () "/" "Drafts" * LSUB () "/" "Sent Items" * LSUB () "/" "Spam" * LSUB () "/" "Trash" * LSUB () "/" "Freigaben/amazon/INBOX" 1 OK Lsub completed. 1 list "" "*" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Trash" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Sent Items" * LIST (\HasChildren) "/" "INBOX" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "INBOX/Amazon" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "INBOX/Bestellung" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Spam" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Drafts" * LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "/" "Freigaben/amazon" * LIST (\Noselect \HasNoChildren) "/" "Freigaben/" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Freigaben/amazon/INBOX" 1 OK List completed. This looks a bit strange to me: * LIST (\Noselect \HasNoChildren) "/" "Freigaben/" But i don't know really if that is the ghostfolder. finally here's the interesting part in my dovecot.conf: / namespace private { separator = / prefix = #location defaults to mail_location. inbox = yes } namespace shared { separator = / prefix = Freigaben/%%n/ location = maildir:/var/mail/vhosts/%%d/%%n/:INDEX=/var/mail/vhosts/%%d/%%n/ subscriptions = no list = children inbox = no } / Any idea how to banish the ghost in the machine?

[Dovecot] exclude a folder for lazy expunge (move to trash)
by Angel L. Mateo 03 Sep '12

03 Sep '12

Hello, I'm configuring lazy expunge plugin to act as a kind of backup of my user's emails. I'm getting a little problem because a lot of my users use "move to trash" behaviour in their email client (most of them are using thunderbird which has no option to hide deleted messages and is a hassle working with mark as deleted with it). The problem combining move to trash with lazy expunge is that messages are stored in the expunge namespace twice, first when it was deleted from the original folder and the second when is deleted from the trash. So... is there any way to exclude trash folder from lazy expunge plugin, so mails are stored in the expunge namespace only when they are deleted from their original folder and not from the trash? Another idea... We are purging trash folders with a cron running "doveadm purge" commands. Is there any way to run this command disabling lazy expunge plugin? Any other idea not to duplicate these emails? -- Angel L.

[Dovecot] [Postfix] SASL Auth. using Dovecot with password forwarding proxy configuration
by Adi Pircalabu 03 Sep '12

03 Sep '12

Hi, I'm relatively new to Dovecot and I did a bit of search but couldn't find a possible solution for the particular setup I'm working on. Basically I have an SMTP/POP/IMAP proxy setup running Postfix & Dovecot. IMAP/POP authentication is done using the password proxy feature, where the login credentials are passed to the backend server after a db lookup, which does the actual authentication. The POP/IMAP part is working fine. What I'm trying to do is to use Dovecot SASL implementation in Postfix to do SMTP authentication in a similar manner. The problem I have with my current configuration is that SMTP authentication succeeds if only the username matches, because password forwarding works if the authentication succeeds with any given password, as documented at http://wiki.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase/ExtraFields/Proxy My question is, given the above: is there a way to get SMTP authentication properly in this scenario? The way I see it now, Dovecot SASL accepting the login if only the user matches isn't quite "complete", the auth process should go further and authenticate against the backend server, same as for POP/IMAP connections. Does this requirement make any sense? Maybe I'm missing something in Dovecot configuration to get the SMTP authentication work in password forwarding mode, few pointers will be highly appreciated. PopBSMTP is not an sensible alternative in my case. Here's my configuration, plus some dovecot auth_debug log entries. As you can see, SMTP authentication succeeds with any given password. ---Dovecot--- dovecot -n # 2.0.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-279.2.1.el6.centos.plus.x86_64 x86_64 CentOS

[Dovecot] Special Folder Mocking
by Eddy Ilg|univation 02 Sep '12

02 Sep '12

Dear Dovecot List, probably everyone knows the problem that different clients use different names for "Sent", "Trash" and so on. A simple question: Isn't it possible to advertise one imap folder with different names, depending on the client? E.g. if the client is Outlook, show the "Sent" folder as "Sent Elements" (translated from german) and if the client is Thunderbird, show the "Sent" folder as "Sent"? Best regards, Eddy Ilg

[Dovecot] New log entries with 2.0.19?
by Knute Johnson 02 Sep '12

02 Sep '12

I just upgraded my Ubuntu server from 11.10 to 12.04.1 and that upgraded Dovecot to 2.0.19. For some reason I'm getting a lot more (5 times) disconnect in IDLE and inactivity time outs. I'm using only IMAP with two users. Both users access the server from multiple devices, phone, tablet and desktop computer. I had previously set the max_userip_connections to 20 and rarely got the following limits exceeded message. That's probably being triggered when we are both home and using all of our devices on the same network. I've now changed it to 40 and we'll see how that does. The other is the IDLE and inactivity timeouts. I don't really understand how IDLE works and I couldn't find an inactivity timeout setting to play with. There are at this second 32 imap or imap-login processes running with only two phones and one desktop running. That's a few more than before the upgrade but not a lot. --------------------- Dovecot Begin ------------------------ Dovecot limits exceeded: max_userip_connections: penny from 216.240.58.138 to 216.240.58.140: 56 Time(s) Dovecot disconnects: Disconnected in IDLE: 485 Time(s) Inactivity: 343 Time(s) no auth attempts: 14 Time(s) no reason: 21 Time(s) Everything seems to be working OK so maybe I should just not worry about it?

Re: [Dovecot] Alerts when process limits are met
by David Anderson 01 Sep '12

01 Sep '12

Hi, Thanks. I used monit, and will code something up of that kind - but I was curious as to whether dovecot had something built in; external monitoring is a somewhat blunter tool, as you don't get to know exactly why there was a problem unless you also parse the logs. Tricky to investigate this kind of issue - it has only happened once, and I had a few hundred people trying to log in, so no time to start debugging! But if it recurs I'll be back to ask for guidance...

Morning all! Total newbie question. I'm learning Dovecot and will be plugging in a few things and testing it end to end. What test structures or tools are available for making sure the install is correct and the parameters are taken? Thanks! Leam -- Mind on a Mission <http://leamhall.blogspot.com/>

[Dovecot] Dovecot generate file when over quota detected
by Dominic Malolepszy 31 Aug '12

31 Aug '12

Hi, I am curious if Dovecot can add an empty file into a Maildir folder as soon as a mailbox has exceeded 100% capacity, and later when it detects the quota has fallen below 100% unlink the file. The idea is the Dovecot LDA would deliver the message and if this caused the mailbox to reach 100%+, add a file into the maibox say "username/Maildir/overquota". Interactions via Dovecot IMAP/POP3 that lower the mailbox usage, for example the user popping, or deleting mail from the mailbox would trigger Dovecot to unlink the file. This means that an MTA can efficiently check for the existence of this 'overquota' file and return a "user(a)domain.com Mailbox full" TEMPFAIL error early during the SMTP transaction prior to accepting any data.

[Dovecot] LDAP auth and multiple attributes to construct the mail path
by Anatoly Ivanov 31 Aug '12

31 Aug '12

Hello, So I am trying to construct mail path for my LDAP user lookups, and i need to use two attributes instead of one. For examle, my LDAP directory has two attributes: departmentAttr and userIDAttr, and I want the maildir to reside in /home/${departmentAttr}/${userIDAttr} Unfortunately, I cannot seem to find a way to configure dovecot this way. Right now, I have something like user_attrs = departmentAttr=mail=maildir:/home/%$/%u But %u is the username (which in my environment can easily change, so I cannot use this for maildir location). Any ideas on how to achieve that? So far I have just one brute-force solution - to create an attribute MailDirAttr, and populate it with concatenation of departmentAttr+'/'+userIDAttr by means of a scheduled task. This sounds like unnecessary information duplication, which is usually a very bad practice. So, again - any ideas? Thank you, Anatoly.

[Dovecot] Variables in LDAP userdb
by Alex Crow 31 Aug '12

31 Aug '12

Hi Timo, Is it OK to have dovecot variables in entries in an LDAP userdb? Say I wanted to set the mail userdb parameter to override mail_location, would it work by having an entry in LDAP (eg for mailMessageStore attrib) like: mdbox:/home/email/%d/%n:INDEX=/home/indexes/%d/%1n/%n:ALT=/home/email_archive/%d/%1n/%n and those % variables will still be expanded by dovecot? Or would I be required to replace them in the LDAP directory with their actual values? Cheers Alex -- This message is intended only for the addressee and may contain confidential information.

[Dovecot] doveadm commands returning 139 at director servers
by Angel L. Mateo 31 Aug '12

31 Aug '12

Hello, I have configured director in front of dovecot imap/pop/lmtp servers. When I need to manipulate a user mailbox, I use doveadm commands at director server's, with -S option. But some commands return exit code 139 when command returns more than 40 entries (I think). For example, the command: sudo doveadm fetch -u amateo hdr mailbox Trash HEADER Subject "nyctalus11/" executed at the backend server returns 952 mails, but executed at director server with -S option, returns only 40 mails and exit code 139. I'm using dovecot 2.1.5 and I attached doveconf -n at director and backend servers. -- Angel L.
