[Dovecot] No status for INBOX/* in mbox NS (2.1.6)
by Jost Krieger 23 Aug '12

23 Aug '12

Maybe it's fixed, but the last "interesting" text in the Changelog was before 2.1.6. Most of our users still have mboxes in the classical layout, so you can't have subfolders and messages in the same folder, *except for the INBOX*, as it is physically separate. Someone complained that he saw subfolders in roundcube he couldn't delete, because they didn't show up in the subscription view. Before hitting on roundcube, I mperformed a few checks and got the following: root@cx-y-z qmail # doveadm mailbox status -u usera messages 'INBOX/*' root@cx-y-z qmail # doveadm mailbox status -u usera messages 'INBOX/test1' INBOX/test1 messages=0 This is mysterious. It doesn't happen with my account, that is in a mdbox: root@cx-y-z qmail # doveadm mailbox status -u kriegjcb messages 'INBOX/*' INBOX/test1 messages=1 Our setup is a bit complicated, but most of it shouldn't be relevant to the problem. # 2.1.6: /usr/local/dovecot/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.9-103.ELsmp i686 Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 9) auth_first_valid_uid = 100 auth_master_user_separator = * dict { quota = mysql:/usr/local/dovecot/etc/dovecot-dict-mysql.conf } disable_plaintext_auth = no first_valid_uid = 100 lda_mailbox_autocreate = yes log_path = /dev/stderr log_timestamp = mail_access_groups = nofiles mail_location = mbox:~/Mail:INBOX=~/Mailbox:INDEX=~/Index mail_plugins = " quota zlib mail_log notify virtual stats" mdbox_rotate_size = 5 M namespace { hidden = no inbox = yes location = prefix = separator = / type = private } namespace { hidden = yes inbox = no list = children location = maildir:~/Maildir prefix = "#MD/" separator = / type = private } namespace { hidden = yes list = no location = virtual:~/Maildir/Virtual prefix = Virtual/ separator = / type = private } namespace { hidden = yes list = no location = virtual:/usr/local/dovecot/etc/virtuell:INDEX=~/Virtuell prefix = Virtuell/ separator = / subscriptions = no type = private } passdb { driver = pam } passdb { args = /usr/local/dovecot/etc/passwd.dovcot.master driver = passwd-file master = yes } plugin { acl = vfile mail_log_events = undelete mailbox_delete mailbox_rename mailbox_create mail_log_fields = uid box msgid size quota = dict:User quota::proxy::quota quota2 = fs:Disk quota stats_refresh = 30 secs stats_track_cmds = yes } protocols = pop3 imap service auth { client_limit = 4300 user = root } service dict { unix_listener dict { group = nofiles mode = 0666 } } service doveadm { inet_listener { port = 542 } } service imap-login { inet_listener imap { address = 134.147.64.38 port = 143 } service_count = 0 } service imap { drop_priv_before_exec = yes process_limit = 2048 vsz_limit = 1 G } service pop3-login { inet_listener pop3 { address = 134.147.64.38 port = 110 } service_count = 0 } service pop3 { drop_priv_before_exec = yes process_limit = 2048 vsz_limit = 512 M } service stats { fifo_listener stats-mail { mode = 0666 user = dovenull } } ssl = no stats_command_min_time = 5 mins stats_domain_min_time = 1 hours stats_ip_min_time = 1 hours stats_memory_limit = 64 M userdb { args = /usr/local/dovecot/etc/dovecot-mysql.conf driver = sql } userdb { driver = passwd } protocol imap { mail_max_userip_connections = 50 mail_plugins = " quota zlib mail_log notify virtual stats imap_quota imap_zlib imap_stats" } Thanks Jost Krieger -- | Helft Spam ausrotten!

[Dovecot] For the wishlist
by Jost Krieger 23 Aug '12

23 Aug '12

I would like very much to have a "doveadm copy", which probably could be made out of "doveadm move" by removing ca. 2 lines (and changing a few strings from "move" to "copy"). This would make it a lot easier to script quite a few things without using a real imap client. I can run around this by doing an import followed by a move but this will duplicate the mails (even when using mdbox). Mit freundlichen Grüßen Jost Krieger -- | Helft Spam ausrotten!

[Dovecot] Dovecot / Win8 Mail App Folder Subscription Issue
by Adam Rosi-Kessel 23 Aug '12

23 Aug '12

Win8 RTM Mail App now supports IMAP. I am running Dovecot 1.2.15 on a Debian Stable server. The App works fine except the list of folders displayed seems to be a random subset of all my folders. I can't figure out how it's picking which folders to show, or how to change what's subscribed. Editing the "subscriptions" folder in ~/Maildir/ doesn't seem to have any impact. Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot or narrow done this issue? I posted to a Microsoft forum but was told the Mail App will only support official email providers.

[Dovecot] MailDir Issue
by Frank Kirschner 23 Aug '12

23 Aug '12

Hello List, I'm still running dovecot in version 1.1.7 No I have setup a new installation with dovecot 2.0.9 and had running some tests with a testdomain. Everything is working well. The Maildir has exactly the same structure like ../domain/username/... Can I copy the whole maildir to the new server? Logical that I have also to move the SMTP network configuration to the new machine. best regards Frank

[Dovecot] doveadm director move behaviour
by Angel L. Mateo 23 Aug '12

23 Aug '12

Hi, I have a director farm running in front of dovecot pop/imap servers. For a reason, one of my backend servers have been down, so poolmon disables it in director servers and users corresponding to it has been sent to other servers. Until this, no problem. Now my failed backend server is up again, and I want to redirect all of its users to it, without waiting for it director sessions to end. So I have used doveadm director move <user> <backend ip> to move them to its "hashed" server. Although a doveadm director status <user> now shows me that this user is directed to the new server, doveadm who in the temporal server shows me that the user is actually connected to it, although messages are delivered to it through is correct server. So I have had to manually kick that users in the temporal servers. Is this the expected behaviour of the move command for director? Is there any way to also force the kick of the imap/pop user's connection in the temporal server? -- Angel L.

[Dovecot] more dsync issues
by Jeff Gustafson 23 Aug '12

23 Aug '12

It hit another dsync snag. We have a script that executes a dsync backup command to a remote host. No write should be happening on the remote host (the backup host). The error is: dsync-local(anonymous(a)domain.com): Error: remote: dsync-remote(anonymous(a)domain.com): Error: Can't delete mailbox INBOX: INBOX can't be deleted. dsync-remote(anonymous(a)domain.com): Error: command MSG-SAVE failed dsync-local(anonymous(a)domain.com): Error: read() from worker server failed: EOF dsync-local(anonymous(a)domain.com): Error: Unexpected reply from server: dsync-local(anonymous(a)domain.com): Warning: Mailbox changes caused a desync. You may want to run dsync again. We're currently running 2.1.7 since > 2.1.8 causes a problem with our webmail software. ...Jeff

[Dovecot] blf-crypt
by Sven Schwyn 23 Aug '12

23 Aug '12

Hi The blf-crypt password schema mentioned in the docs could be a solution to my auth problem. However, the docs state that actual support depends on the glibc. Mine apparently doesn't. Does support depend on the glibc's version (mine is 2.15-r2)? Maybe someone with access to a box with a good enough glibc could do the following and post the hash for the plain password "test"? doveadm pw -s BLF-CRYPT Enter new password: test With this I could verify whether the BLF-CRYPT scheme would solve my problem in the first place without going through the hassle of upping the glibc. Thanks a bunch!

[Dovecot] difference between namespace auto=subscribe and autocreate plugin
by Igor Zinovik 22 Aug '12

22 Aug '12

Hello. I read docs, but still do not understand difference between following configuration options: namespace inbox { # Create and subscribe to folder mailbox Drafts { auto=subscribe } and `autocreate' plugin plugin { autocreate = inbox.Drafts autosubscribe = inbox.Drafts On wiki page that describes `autocreate' plugin i read: ... mailboxes that must always exist for all users. So even if user delete Drafts IMAP folder on next connection server will create it. Is `mailbox' undocumented feature? I see it only in configuration file, but wiki does not mention it.

[Dovecot] How dovecot treats UTF8 mailbox names in sieve scripts and `namespace' section
by Igor Zinovik 22 Aug '12

22 Aug '12

Hello. I read on upgrading page that one can use UTF8 mailbox names for plugins. As i understand i do not need to convert UTF8 names to mUTF-7 and can use raw UTF8 in plugins section, e.g.: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf ... plugin { ... # Autocreate \Spam folder autocreate = Спам autosubscribe = Спам ... But what about sieve scripts and other configuration sections: 1. Do i need to convert UTF8 mailbox names in `namespace' section? namespace inbox { ... mailbox &BCEEPwQwBDw- { special_use = \Junk } 2. Do i need to convert UTF8 mailbox names in sieve scripts? /etc/dovecot/dovecot_before.sieve ... require ["reject","fileinto"]; # Put all spam into separete IMAP folder if header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" "YES" { fileinto "&BCEEPwQwBDw-"; }

[Dovecot] [PATCH] Replace hard-coded PKG_STATEDIR with state_dir setting
by Chris Webb 22 Aug '12

22 Aug '12

Sharing an installed copy of dovecot between several users each running a daemon within their own account (or using the same binaries for a system daemon and a user daemon) is difficult because the compile-time directory PKG_STATEDIR (typically /var/lib/dovecot) is hard-coded as the location of things like the ssl-parameters.dat file and the replicator database. Replace all these uses of PKG_STATEDIR with a state_dir setting which defaults to PKG_STATEDIR but can be overridden in dovecot.conf, in the same way base_dir can be used to override PKG_RUNDIR.

[Dovecot] Search extensions
by Timo Sirainen 21 Aug '12

21 Aug '12

I'm thinking about adding at least one new SEARCH command extension to Dovecot: ability to search from any headers in the mail, including MIME headers in the body. So the idea is that you could somewhat quickly ask e.g. "show me all mails with pdf attachments": a search or x-anyheader application/pdf x-anyheader .pdf b fetch $ bodystructure The client can verify the results with the fetch. The "x-anyheader" can already be implemented without changes to full text search plugin, because all backends store message/MIME headers and body text separately. So, questions for the list, especially client developers: 1) What's a better name for x-anyheader? :) 2) Any other ideas about search extensions you'd want to see? Maybe I could get this standardized at some point. I think one other thing missing has been "show me messages that have attachments". I've thought about maybe creating a $hasattachments keyword for that, which the server could automatically set for new mails that it thinks has attachments (and clients can set/unset the keyword if wanted).

[Dovecot] Spaces in DN with AD auth
by Chris Visser 21 Aug '12

21 Aug '12

Hi guys, I'm back to fiddling with my Dovecot and AD intergation and I've noticed that if a DN contains spaces, dovecot doesn't bind to the AD server. I'm running: dovecot-2.1.1 exim-4.72 on CentOS 6.3 Exim binds fine with the DNs containing spaces, it's just dovecot that exhibits the symptoms.

[Dovecot] namespace from snapshots
by Karl Oulmi 21 Aug '12

21 Aug '12

hi all, I'm trying to give access to snapshots taken from by dell iscsi MD3200i to my maildirs users. snapshot are mounted in read only mode from my FreeBSD box. In my /usr/local/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf, I have : namespace inbox { inbox = yes } namespace da1 { prefix = INBOX.backup.da1. hidden = no list = yes inbox = no location = maildir:/da1/%u/Maildir type = private } I have two problems : - In my log, dovecot complain about the fact that my snapshot filsystem is read only Error: open(/da1/test2(a)toto.com/Maildir/.Trash/dovecot-uidlist) failed: Read-only file system The second problem is that through my thunderbird I can't see the Inbox saved in the snapshot (whereas I see Sent and Trash folders) If anyone could help me, It would be nice. Regard, Karl.

Re: [Dovecot] Hostname Based forwarding
by Joseph Tam 20 Aug '12

Merrickville <merrickville(a)gmail.com> writes: > Is there a way to proxy based on the host name the client has configured in > his/her email client? (Like Apache VirtualHosts) I doubt it; the virtual name is not part of the IMAP protocol as it is in HTTP. The IMAP server is not told which hostname was mapped to its IP. You'll either have to add the @domain, or perhaps multi-home your host, remap one of your domains to the new IP, and add another running instance of dovecot to listen on that interface.

[Dovecot] Full text search in attachments
by Mailing 20 Aug '12

20 Aug '12

Hello, is it possible to use the Solr full text search plugin for indexing mail attachments? I found a very old patch and some hints regarding a fts_decoder script that I don't understand. Making Solr indexing PDF or Office files shouldn't be that difficult, but how can I enable the plugin to transfer the attachments to Solr? Best regards, Sebastian

[Dovecot] case insensitive acl
by Andre Rodier 19 Aug '12

19 Aug '12

Hello, I have notice that when I use ACL, the name of the user in the dovec-acl-list file is case sensitive. Because I use LDAP, the name of the users is case insensitive. Would it be possible to have an option in Dovecot, to ignore the case of the ACL ? This would be useful with some ACL managers, like roundcube ACL plugin, that uses an LDAP query to autocomplete the user name for the ACL. Kind regards, André

Hi, I have a "ubuntu10.04 + ext4-filesystem + dovecot-2.0.13 +mdbox" configuration in my server. It works fine with ~50k accounts.

After this crash, one account began to show access timeout and errors like this on force-resync: # doveadm force-resync -u account INBOX doveadm(account): Warning: mdbox /path-to-mdbox/storage: rebuilding indexes doveadm(account): Error: Corrupted dbox file /path-to-mdbox/storage/m.83 (around offset=16): EOF reading msg header (got 0/30 bytes) doveadm(account): Warning: dbox: Copy of the broken file saved to /path-to-mdbox/storage/m.83.broken doveadm(account): Error: Corrupted dbox file /path-to-mdbox/storage/m.83 (around offset=16): EOF reading msg header (got 0/30 bytes) doveadm(account): Error: mdbox rebuild: Failed to fix file /path-to-mdbox/storage/m.83 doveadm(account): Error: Corrupted dbox file /path-to-mdbox/storage/m.92 (around offset=7): Invalid dbox version ...

[Dovecot] dsync \noselect on INBOX.INBOX skips sync of INBOX
by Nikolai Schupbach 19 Aug '12

19 Aug '12

Hi Timo, We have encountered an issue today with a number of migrations. Some customers have mailboxes on the source IMAP server that look like this: 3 LIST "" * * LIST () "." "INBOX" * LIST () "." "INBOX.Statements" * LIST () "." "INBOX.Draft" * LIST () "." "INBOX.Drafts" * LIST () "." "INBOX.Invoices" * LIST (\Noselect) "." "INBOX.INBOX" * LIST () "." "INBOX.Jokes" * LIST () "." "INBOX.Payslips" * LIST () "." "INBOX.Personal" When we run dsync it skips the INBOX presumably because of the Noselect on INBOX.INBOX. and the "imapc_list_prefix = INBOX" setting. Regards, Nikolai.

[Dovecot] maildir to sdbox offline conversion
by _ET_ 19 Aug '12

19 Aug '12

Hi all. I've just installed dovecot v2.1 in a multihomed, multiinstance setup, It took me two days to convert the old v1.1 configs, now everything works like charm! But. :) I have several maildir mailboxes, I decided to use the sdbox storage type instead. I ran into difficoulties using the dsync util. My virtual users are in an OpenLDAP DB on a differnet machine, and I do not have access to the database (I can authenticate the users from ldap, but cannot change or see anything) So it's not easy to do an "online" conversion and follow the instructions at dsync's wiki. Do you know a way how to simply tell dsync or a similar util the following dsync convert maildir:/data/vmail/domain/user sdbox:/newdata/vmail/domain/user without touching the ldap database, only the files on the disk. I can run this command as root on this mail server, if it is needed, I can run the command for each and every maildir. That's not a problem. any ideas, how this wouléd be the simpliest? -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/maildir-to-sdbox-offline-conversion-tp34274589p342745… Sent from the Dovecot mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Dovecot] Dsync and SIS
by Alex Crow 19 Aug '12

19 Aug '12

Hi all, Just to clarify, if we back up a dovecot 2 server with SIS for attachments and ALT storage by rsyncing it (including the SIS and ALT storage) to a remote server when it's idle (or at least almost entirely so), and run dovecot on that machine, would it seem feasible to restore backups from that server by using dysnc - specifically for the scenario where someone accidentally deletes emails/folders etc.? I've seen queries about SIS before but nothing specifically about this scenario. Cheers Alex -- This message is intended only for the addressee and may contain confidential information.
