[Dovecot] Solicitud de atributo mailPlugins en el ldap
by Antonio Perez-Aranda 26 Oct '10

26 Oct '10

Antes del piloto o durante el piloto deberíamos tener este atributo disponible en el ldap. El campo debe de ser único y admitir información en una línea. En un principio, para los usuarios con búsquedas tendría el contenido "fts fts_squat" Para la segunda fase será un requisito casi indispensable, puesto que por este campo configuraremos algunos parámetros específicos de Solr y que sean diferentes para algunos usuarios.

[Dovecot] post-login scripting using PHP
by Maciej Uhlig 26 Oct '10

26 Oct '10

I'd like to write post-login script using PHP. I noticed every shell post-login script ends with: exec "$@", which effectively executes dovecot's script-login. However, while I try to do the same (?) in PHP: $prog = $argv[1]; exec ("$prog"); it doesn't work. The client timeouts, dovecot (2.0.6) says "Disconnected for inactivity". May be I don't clearly see the way post-login scripting should work. Any hint to make it done? Regards, MU

[Dovecot] Exchange-replacement with SOGo
by Timo Sirainen 26 Oct '10

26 Oct '10

I thought some people here would be interested: Recently SOGo added support for OpenChange, which means Outlook can natively access it via MAPI the same way as Exchange. Everything is open source, and the great thing about SOGo is that it uses existing IMAP server for mails rather than reimplementing yet another one itself. They seem to prefer Cyrus, but apparently Dovecot should work too. For non-mail (calendar, etc) it uses SQL, but I heard it's not too difficult to replace that either if someone would prefer some NoSQL database or something. http://www.sogo.nu/ http://www.openchange.org/

[Dovecot] doveadm-expunge not expunging when ran from cron
by LEVAI Daniel 26 Oct '10

26 Oct '10

Hi! I noticed that this command ... : for USERNAME in ${USERS};do /usr/local/bin/doveadm -Dv expunge -u "${USERNAME}" mailbox sa.* SAVEDBEFORE 1d done ... does not expunge mails if ran from crontab. It shows in the Debug output what would have been done, but it doesn't really expunge those mails. This command runs daily, and every day the list of expunged mails (in the Debug output) just grows and grows, and the sa.* directories stay the same (except the new mails of course). However, if I run it from a terminal it really expunges the mails. Example output: doveadm(root): Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/local/lib/dovecot doveadm(root): Debug: Module loaded: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lib10_quota_plugin.so doveadm(root): Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/doveadm doveadm(root): Debug: Skipping module doveadm_expire_plugin, because dlopen() failed: Cannot load specified object (this is usually intentional, so just ignore this message) doveadm(root): Debug: Module loaded: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/doveadm/lib10_doveadm_quota_plugin.so doveadm("${USERNAME}"): Debug: expunge: box=sa.spam uid=6657 doveadm("${USERNAME}"): Debug: expunge: box=sa.spam uid=6658 doveadm("${USERNAME}"): Debug: expunge: box=sa.spam uid=6659 doveadm("${USERNAME}"): Debug: expunge: box=sa.spam uid=6660 doveadm("${USERNAME}"): Debug: expunge: box=sa.spam uid=6661 doveadm("${USERNAME}"): Debug: expunge: box=sa.spam uid=6662 [...] If ran from cron, then the same uids show up every day, and new ones gets added (as new mails gets copied into those directories). Is there something fishy going on in doveadm-expunge if it has no controlling terminal?

[Dovecot] 2.0.2 : crashes with LDA

Hello, I just migrated to 2.0.2 and see some <xx(a)localhost.redirectme.net> (expanded from<xx@localhost>): Command died with signal 6: "/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -c /etc/dovecot2.conf".

[Dovecot] merge mdboxes
by Tobias Daucher 26 Oct '10

26 Oct '10

Hi there, after migration we have a very big problem... there are two mailboxes in /var/mail/username/mailboxes/ /var/mail/username/mailboxes/inbox /var/mail/username/mailboxes/inbox2 i DO have to merge these boxes, but i found no tools for this step. is there any way with doveadm oder dsync to move alle messages from mdbox inbox2 into mdbox inbox? i hope you all can tell me a way to do this - its a very very big problem at the moment. By the way - logging in via imap with thunderbird und move them on that way is not my favorite solution cause i have to do this for hundreds of users... i hope you can help me! thanks a lot!

I don't really know if there's much to do about this. I guess it could wait a second or so before disconnecting client to avoid it reconnecting back too fast.. > The client wasn't reconnecting as far as I can tell. It looked to me like the server process wedged after this error - we only got the error message logged once. The problem is that after it occurred no new clients could complete connections, but existing clients worked ok. Incoming connections were accepted, but then nothing would happen. As far as I can tell the parent would fork new child processes but they couldn't complete initialisation. Mail clients simply complained of a timeout during connection. This was affecting all users. With regard to error disconnections - yes a delay is a good idea.

[Dovecot] delivering mail to public mbox with permission 660?
by RParr 26 Oct '10

26 Oct '10

I am migrating a couple old RH servers running sendmail and UW-IMAP to a new Ubuntu 10.04 servers running Postfix and Dovecot. I have everything working reasonably well except that the permissions of newly created mbox mail folders is always 600. I have reviewed the archives, google, and double checked everything is as suggested in the Dovecot Wiki / SharedMailboxes / Permissions. I am running Ubuntu 10.04 packages postfix 2.7.0-1, dovecot-common, dovecot-imapd, dovecot-pop3d, and dovecot-postfix (all version 1.2.9-1ubuntu6.1). I plan to install amavisd-new, et.al. for spam filtering and anti-virus but have held off until I get Postfix and Dovecot working 100%. I have configured Postfix and Dovecot to use mbox mailboxes. I chose mbox becaus I have a LOT of shared mbox folders to migrate and decided it best to first migrate to Postfix/Dovecot mbox and later worry about migrating to maildir (as suggested on the Dovecot wiki mailbox format page). I have configured private (also as default) and public namespaces with the public mailboxes stored in /var/mail/public. /var/mail/public has rwxrws--- and is group tarts (the shared "company" group for this server). Initially I had procmail configured via the mailbox_command. Initial test mail sent to user tarts triggered creation of /var/mail/tarts with 660 permissions as expected. I then changed the configuration to use deliver via the mailbox_command. I did this because procmail appears to be unmaintained and to benefit from deliver's support for indexing at time of delivery and seive. I then added user testuser with primary group testuser and supplemental group tarts. I made sure testuser's home directory and mail sub dir had rwxrws--- permissions. I sent test mail to user testuser and had both user tarts and user testuser create some subfolders in public (via Thunderbird accounts) THE PROBLEM is that mbox folders that hold messages are created with permssion 600. My understanding, from the Dovecot wiki and other docs/postings is that the folders should be 660 given the /var/mail permssions of rwxrwsrwt and ~/mail permssions of rwxrws--- MY QUESTION is how do I correct the configuration and/or directory permissions so that mbox folders and .imap indices (especially public/ ones) are created with 660 permissions thus allowing users who belong to a common group (eg tarts) to access the public mailboxes? It appears all Dovecot configuration options to establish directory/box perms or mask, such as umask, have been deprectated and no longer work. The primary option appears to be using the permissions yet that is not working for me here. ----------------------------------- /home/: drwxrws--- 4 tarts tarts 4096 2010-10-19 13:59 tarts/ /home/tarts: drwxrws--- 4 tarts tarts 4096 2010-10-19 13:50 mail/ ----------------------------------- /d/home/: drwxrws--- 4 testuser testuser 4096 2010-10-19 13:59 testuser/ /d/home/testuser: drwxrws--- 4 testuser testuser 4096 2010-10-19 13:59 mail/ /d/home/testuser/mail: total 20 drwxrws--- 4 testuser testuser 4096 2010-10-19 13:59 ./ drwxrws--- 3 testuser testuser 4096 2010-10-19 13:44 ../ drwxrws--- 3 testuser testuser 4096 2010-10-19 13:45 .imap/ -rw-rw---- 1 testuser testuser 36 2010-10-19 13:59 .subscriptions -rw------- 1 testuser testuser 0 2010-10-19 13:50 Trash drwxrws--- 2 testuser testuser 4096 2010-10-19 13:54 test1/ -rw------- 1 testuser testuser 0 2010-10-19 13:54 test2 /d/home/testuser/mail/.imap: total 12 drwxrws--- 3 testuser testuser 4096 2010-10-19 13:45 ./ drwxrws--- 4 testuser testuser 4096 2010-10-19 13:59 ../ drwx--S--- 2 testuser testuser 4096 2010-10-19 13:50 INBOX/ /d/home/testuser/mail/.imap/INBOX: total 24 drwx--S--- 2 testuser testuser 4096 2010-10-19 13:50 ./ drwxrws--- 3 testuser testuser 4096 2010-10-19 13:45 ../ -rw------- 1 testuser testuser 16384 2010-10-19 14:00 dovecot.index.cache -rw------- 1 testuser testuser 864 2010-10-19 14:00 dovecot.index.log /d/home/testuser/mail/test1: total 8 drwxrws--- 2 testuser testuser 4096 2010-10-19 13:54 ./ drwxrws--- 4 testuser testuser 4096 2010-10-19 13:59 ../ -rw------- 1 testuser testuser 0 2010-10-19 13:54 sub1 ----------------------------------- /var: drwsrwsrwt 3 root mail 4096 2010-10-18 10:23 mail/ /var/mail: total 896 drwsrwsrwt 3 root mail 4096 2010-10-19 13:51 ./ drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 4096 2010-03-05 13:57 ../ -rw-rw---- 1 nobody mail 1386 2010-10-12 16:54 nobody drwsrws--- 5 root tarts 4096 2010-10-19 13:51 public/ -rw-rw---- 1 tarts mail 894107 2010-10-19 08:59 tarts -rw------- 1 testuser mail 632 2010-10-19 13:51 testuser /var/mail/public: total 24 drwsrws--- 5 root tarts 4096 2010-10-19 13:51 ./ drwsrwsrwt 3 root mail 4096 2010-10-19 13:51 ../ drwxrws--- 3 tarts tarts 4096 2010-10-19 13:51 .imap/ drwxrws--- 3 tarts tarts 4096 2010-10-16 15:02 test1/ drwxrws--- 2 tarts tarts 4096 2010-10-16 15:01 test2/ -rw------- 1 testuser tarts 633 2010-10-19 13:51 test3 /var/mail/public/.imap: total 12 drwxrws--- 3 tarts tarts 4096 2010-10-19 13:51 ./ drwsrws--- 5 root tarts 4096 2010-10-19 13:51 ../ drwx--S--- 2 testuser tarts 4096 2010-10-19 13:51 test3/ /var/mail/public/.imap/test3: total 28 drwx--S--- 2 testuser tarts 4096 2010-10-19 13:51 ./ drwxrws--- 3 tarts tarts 4096 2010-10-19 13:51 ../ -rw------- 1 testuser tarts 16384 2010-10-19 13:51 dovecot.index.cache -rw------- 1 testuser tarts 628 2010-10-19 13:51 dovecot.index.log /var/mail/public/test1: total 16 drwxrws--- 3 tarts tarts 4096 2010-10-16 15:02 ./ drwsrws--- 5 root tarts 4096 2010-10-19 13:51 ../ drwxrws--- 3 tarts tarts 4096 2010-10-16 15:02 .imap/ -rw------- 1 tarts tarts 614 2010-10-16 15:02 sub1 -rw------- 1 tarts tarts 0 2010-10-16 15:01 sub2 /var/mail/public/test1/.imap: total 12 drwxrws--- 3 tarts tarts 4096 2010-10-16 15:02 ./ drwxrws--- 3 tarts tarts 4096 2010-10-16 15:02 ../ drwx--S--- 2 tarts tarts 4096 2010-10-16 15:02 sub1/ /var/mail/public/test1/.imap/sub1: total 12 drwx--S--- 2 tarts tarts 4096 2010-10-16 15:02 ./ drwxrws--- 3 tarts tarts 4096 2010-10-16 15:02 ../ -rw------- 1 tarts tarts 408 2010-10-16 15:02 dovecot.index.log /var/mail/public/test2: total 8 drwxrws--- 2 tarts tarts 4096 2010-10-16 15:01 ./ drwsrws--- 5 root tarts 4096 2010-10-19 13:51 ../ Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Because the parent directory was rwxr-xr-x root.root The problem is that for some reason dovecot then wedged and a lot of other stuff piled up behind it, causing people to complain their mail wasn't coming through. Load average climbed to over 100. Creating the user directories freed things up...

compatible ) or pop3_uidl_format = %g ( better with virtual ) pop3_reuse_xuidl = ? what ist the most compatible/konservative setting with maildir on a cluster filesystem pop3_save_uidl = ? what ist

[Dovecot] Auto delete older messages in SPAM folder
by Thiago Henrique 25 Oct '10

25 Oct '10

Hello, I use Cyrus in my mailservers and I intend to migrate it to Dovecot. Cyrus has a setting that purge the emails from a mailbox under a pre-defined criteria. For example: EVENTS { ... # At 12:01 delete messages older than 60 days in SPAM folder deletespam cmd="ipurge -d 60 -f user/*/SPAM" at=1201 } Is there in Dovecot any setting like this ? Thank you. -- []'s Thiago Henrique Network Administration Digirati Networks K8 Networks

[Dovecot] Problems converting to maildir with dsync in 2.0.6
by Nicholas Riley 25 Oct '10

25 Oct '10

I'm trying to convert from an old Dovecot (1.0.15) and mbox to a new Dovecot and maildir. I'm running into several problems with dsync which are causing my mboxes not to convert. If I use LAYOUT=fs (as I'd prefer) I get an error because I have a mailbox called "subscriptions", and none of my messages convert. Is there a way to get dovecot to put its own metadata in dotfiles instead? (I guess I can rename my mailbox too :-) % dsync mirror mbox:~/Mail dsync(nriley): Error: read() failed with subscription file /home/nriley/Maildir/subscriptions: Is a directory dsync(nriley): Error: Can't update subscription +/INBOX: Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. [2010-10-21 20:17:55] [...] Also, what "server log" is it referring to above? So I tried without LAYOUT=fs, and dsync successfully converts some mailboxes, then crashes: % dsync mirror mbox:~/Mail dsync(nriley): Error: Maildir: 6ef533cd4cdb1fd454b0226bfc851bb3:2, changed UID 1846529 -> 1846531 dsync(nriley): Panic: file maildir-save.c: line 892 (maildir_save_sync_uidlist): assertion failed: (ret > 0) dsync(nriley): Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0 [0xb7ea21f1] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(default_fatal_handler+0x47) [0xb7ea2317] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_error+0) [0xb7ea2544] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(maildir_transaction_save_commit_ pre+0x858) [0xb7f2ab58] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0 [0xb7f2501f] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_index_transaction_commit_fu ll+0x85) [0xb7f67eb5] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(index_transaction_commit+0x94) [0xb7f24c14] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mailbox_transaction_commit_get_c hanges+0x42) [0xb7efeaa2] -> /usr/bin/dsync [0x8056ed2] -> /usr/bin/dsync [0x80570f0] -> /usr/bin/dsync(dsync_worker_select_mailbox+0x2e) [0x8055b2e] -> /usr/bin/dsync [0x80507e6] -> /usr/bin/dsync [0x8050a3b] -> /usr/bin/dsync(dsync_brain_msg_sync_new_msgs+0x12) [0x8050c12] -> /usr/bin/dsync(dsync_brain_msg_sync_more+0x2e1) [0x8050261] -> /usr/bin/dsync(dsync_brain_sync+0x309) [0x804e949] -> /usr/bin/dsync [0x804f953] -> /usr/bin/dsync(dsync_brain_sync+0x72e) [0x804ed6e] -> /usr/bin/dsync [0x804f7d0] -> /usr/bin/dsync(dsync_brain_sync+0x55d) [0x804eb9d] -> /usr/bin/dsync(dsync_brain_sync_all+0x18) [0x804f668] -> /usr/bin/dsync(main+0x5a1) [0x804da51] -> /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe5) [0xb7d29455] -> /usr/bin/dsync [0x804d2e1] [1] 30528 abort dsync mirror mbox:~/Mail I tried running it in GDB but that crashed GDB, so hopefully the above info is OK... % gdb --args dsync mirror mbox:~/Mail (gdb) run Starting program: /usr/bin/dsync mirror mbox:\~/Mail [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] [New process 30652] Executing new program: /usr/bin/doveconf warning: Cannot initialize thread debugging library: generic error warning: Cannot initialize thread debugging library: generic error warning: Cannot initialize thread debugging library: generic error warning: Cannot initialize thread debugging library: generic error [New process 30652] [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] [1] 30651 segmentation fault gdb -q --args dsync mirror mbox:~/Mail I'm using the Debian packages from rename-it.nl.

[Dovecot] Recommendation for OCFS2 filesystem type
by Andre Nathan 25 Oct '10

25 Oct '10

Hello When creating an OCFS2 filesystem, one can specify a "filesystem type" option: -T filesystem-type Specify how the filesystem is going to be used, so that mkfs.ocfs2 can chose optimal filesystem parameters for that use. The supported filesystem types are: mail Appropriate for file systems which will have many meta data updates. Creates a larger journal. datafiles Appropriate for file systems which will host a rela‐ tively small number of very large files. A small journal is selected. Cluster size will be at least 128K. Considering I'm using a separate partition for the dovecot indices, and that I'm using mdbox, would it be more appropriate to use 'datafiles' for the mail location partition and 'mail' just for the indices? Or would 'mail' be appropriate for both even with the larger files created by mdbox? Thanks, Andre

[Dovecot] Shared folders, please help.!

Hello all, First of all sorry for this, it has been discussed many times, but i can not make it work. I tried for a long time now. I do something wrong, but i do not know what. First of all, i have virtual users, with virtual domains. Mail is stored in /usr/local/virtual/domain name/user So if my domain is domain.com and my e-mail address is johan(a)domain.com the directory is /usr/local/virtual/domain.com/johan i followed the wiki, and my configuration looks like the following. beasty dovecot # dovecot -n # 2.0.5: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: FreeBSD 8.1-STABLE amd64 ufs auth_debug = yes auth_debug_passwords = yes auth_mechanisms = plain login auth_verbose = yes dict { acl = mysql:/usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-acl-sql.conf quotadict = mysql:/usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-quota.conf } disable_plaintext_auth = no first_valid_gid = 1004 first_valid_uid = 1004 last_valid_gid = 1004 last_valid_uid = 1004 log_timestamp = .%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S . mail_access_groups = vmail mail_debug = yes mail_gid = 1004 mail_location = maildir:/usr/local/virtual/%d/%n mail_uid = 1004 managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date mbox_write_locks = fcntl namespace { hidden = no inbox = yes list = yes location = prefix = separator = / subscriptions = yes type = private } namespace { inbox = no list = children location = maildir:/usr/local/virtual/%%d/%%n/shared/:INDEX=/shared/%%n prefix = shared/%%d/%%u/ separator = / subscriptions = no type = shared } passdb { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql.conf driver = sql } plugin { acl = vfile acl_anyone = allow acl_shared_dict = proxy::acl autocreate = Trash autocreate2 = Junk autocreate3 = Sent autocreate4 = Drafts autocreate5 = Templates autosubscribe = Trash autosubscribe2 = Junk autosubscribe3 = Sent autosubscribe4 = Drafts autosubscribe5 = Templates quota = dict:::proxy::quotadict quota_warning = storage=95%% /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh 95 quota_warning2 = storage=80%% /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh 80 } protocols = imap pop3 service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-master { group = vmail mode = 0660 user = vmail } } service dict { unix_listener dict { mode = 0600 user = vmail } } service imap-login { inet_listener imap { address = 192.168.50.200 port = 143 } } service pop3-login { inet_listener pop3 { address = 192.168.50.200 port = 110 } } ssl = no userdb { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql.conf driver = sql } protocol imap { imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail tb-extra-mailbox-sep imap_idle_notify_interval = 2 mins imap_logout_format = bytes=%i/%o imap_max_line_length = 64 k mail_plugins = quota imap_quota autocreate acl imap_acl mail_log notify } protocol pop3 { mail_plugins = quota trash pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv } protocol lda { auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mail_plugins = quota acl mail_log notify postmaster_address = postmaster(a)test.com sendmail_path = /usr/local/sbin/sendmail } That is my config file.

[Dovecot] problem with subscriptions=no and changed separator ?
by Lutz Preßler 25 Oct '10

25 Oct '10

Hello, Dovecot 2.0.5+ (Debian "automatic package" 2.0.5-0~auto+5). If I use the following namespace definitions namespace personal { inbox = yes location = maildir:~/Maildir separator = ^ prefix = type = private } namespace others { type = shared separator = ^ prefix = shared^%%u^ location = maildir:%%h/Maildir:INDEX=~/Maildir/shared/%%u subscriptions = no list = children } namespace virtual { location = virtual:~/Maildir/virtual:LAYOUT=maildir++ separator = ^ prefix = virtual^ type = private } (virtual should not matter, but I have not tested without.) I have problems with subscriptions for the shared mailboxes: SUBSCRIBE ^shared^user^box leads to entry shared^user^box in ~/Maildir/subscriptions file. All subscriptions for folders in personal namespace use the "layout" separator (".") thought. LSUB "" "*" does not show the just subscribed folder, but it does after I manually change the entry to read shared.user.box Bug?

[Dovecot] shared folders general question

Hello all. Thanks to the patience off Timo i finally got my shared folders working. I have one more question. Is it possible if you share the inbox, that all subfolders will be visable to. I can not see the subfolders of the shared inbox. This is not very useful if the user which shares his inbox, has sieve rules active that stores e-mail directly into subfolders. Thanks regards, Johan

[Dovecot] Manual login to SSL-protected port?
by Ron Leach 25 Oct '10

25 Oct '10

List, good afternoon, Dovecot and mail clients work fine. Several recent postings mention trying telnet to check this or that and, since I was considering using a spreadsheet plug-in to analyse some mail statistics by directly connecting to the server, I thought I'd try to test what the command sequence was that I might be able to use, and what message data was available (headers etc). We use only SSL-protected ports. Is it possible to manually login to dovecot when dovecot uses SSL-protected imap ports? I've tried telnet and the telnet localhost 993 login user pass resulted in connection closure, as I (think I) would expect because telnet doesn't use SSL (does it?). I checked man telnet and it described authentication options but when I tried telnet localhost 993 auth enable ? to check what auth protocols it allows, the connection closed. I tried SSH but it just 'hung' - presumably SSH expects an SSH server at the other end, not dovecot. Is it possible to manually login to a dovecot SSL imap port? regards, Ron
