[Dovecot] I can receive but not send
by Dennis Clarke 09 Jul '10

09 Jul '10

I'm not too sure where to look here. I can access my mail via Dovecot and there is an initial requirement to accept an SSL key ( self signed ) however after I look in my inbox and read a piece of email ( via SeaMonkey eMail client ) I can not send. I simply get told that the server would not accept the smtp connection. I was hoping for a smtps connection but I'll take what I can get. Am I missing something obvious here ? -- Dennis

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.0 with LMTP
by Thiago Henrique 09 Jul '10

09 Jul '10

Hello, I'm testing Dovecot 2.0. I plan to use Dovecot 2.0 with thousands of domains per server. My user base is under virtual MySQL. Is there a way to make the LMTP not make query to MySQL for each message delivered ? I'm afraid that the MySQL server does not support the load. Best Regards -- []'s Thiago Henrique Network Administration Digirati Networks K8 Networks

Re: [Dovecot] Sieve user info log (was: problems with sieve under 2.0)

However, configuring this behavior is an interesting issue. If the user log verbosity is configured in the Dovecot userdb, it may in many cases still only be configurable by the administrator. An alternative solution would be to provide the logging configuration directly in the Sieve script; analogous to the way Procmail handles this. This would give users direct control. However, the Sieve specification and its extensions currently define no such facility. In fact, both Sieve and ManageSieve don't provide any means for the user to control what is logged during script execution. This would require some new or custom (vnd.dovecot.) Sieve or ManageSieve extension. However, defining a new extension like that is rarely useful unless clients implement support for it. Another problem is that users need filesystem access or some other custom (HTTP) interface to read the logs. This can be problematic when virtual users are involved. This too could be mended with an extension to the ManageSieve protocol. Alternatively, the Pigeonhole TODO list mentions a solution that writes logs as messages in a special IMAP-accessible folder, but I'm still not sure how practical that is. The above considerations may warrant starting a draft RFC on controlling and accessing Sieve runtime logs. But, I'm deviating from the original issue... what is it that you truly need right now? And for the Dovecot list, any other ideas on the above? Regards, Stephan.

[Dovecot] trash folder (again)
by Holger Hegmanns 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

Hi, I read very intently all the issues related to imap trash folders, but either I didn't unerstand them or my problem is slightly different. I plan to migrate from cyrus to dovecot. I've executed the perl script cyrus2dovecot successfully with the substitution flag "-E 's/^\./.INBOX./'" cause I want to have all folders as subfolders of the INBOX. The vmail dir looks like this afterwards: drwxr-xr-x 11 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 . drwxr-xr-x 3 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .. drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.Drafts drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.Sent drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.Templates drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.Trash drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.blah drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.blub drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 cur -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 119 Jul 8 14:19 dovecot-uidlist drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 new -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 80 Jul 8 14:19 subscriptions drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 tmp After the first access with Thunderbird, regardless of the version (TB2x or TB3x) and regardless of using TB with an empty profile or a well filled up, the directory looks different: drwxr-xr-x 12 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:21 . drwxr-xr-x 3 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .. drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.Drafts drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.Sent drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.Templates drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.Trash drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.blah drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 .INBOX.blub drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:21 .Trash drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 cur -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 119 Jul 8 14:21 dovecot-uidlist -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 17408 Jul 8 14:21 dovecot.index.cache -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 448 Jul 8 14:21 dovecot.index.log drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 new -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 86 Jul 8 14:21 subscriptions drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 4096 Jul 8 14:19 tmp A Trash folder was added by TB, I guess.

[Dovecot] Thunderbird and shared mailboxes

I'm setting up shared mailboxes as in http://wiki.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Shared, and have set ACLs as described on that page to share one folder of user A's mailbox with User B. However, I'm struggling to get Thunderbird for userb(a)example.com to read the shared folder of usera(a)example.com. Has anyone done this? Thunderbird 3.0, Dovecot 1.2.11 Thanks, Keith

[Dovecot] Eronious comment in sample Director configuration
by Brad Davidson 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

The sample Director configuration (10-director.conf) says that director_servers and director_mail_servers can be lists of either IPs or hostnames: # List of IPs or hostnames to all director servers, including ourself. # Ports can be specified as ip:port. The default port is the same as # what director service's inet_listener is using. #director_servers = # List of IPs or hostnames to all backend mail servers. Ranges are allowed # too, like 10.0.0.10-10.0.0.30. #director_mail_servers = However, if I use hostnames, it bails out with an "Invalid IP address" error. It also seems to be confusing the dashes in my hostnames for address range specifications. Obviously hostnames are not currently supported, but I thought I'd mention it so the documentation could be updated. -Brad

[Dovecot] Director error during sync

[Dovecot] Patch for second fs quota under solaris
by Juergen Obermann 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

Hallo. We use dovecot 1.2.12 running under Solaris 9 and wanted to set up a second filesystem quota root because the mail folders are in the users home directories and the inboxes of all users are in /var/mail. This is defined in dovecot.conf: quota = fs:Home-Verzeichnis:noenforcing quota2 = fs:INBOX:noenforcing:mount=/var/mail This second quota did not work, but now I found the reason why. The mountpoint_get in src/lib/mountpoint.c needs to call resetmnttab to find the filesystem for the second quota root (see man resetmnttab). The following patches correct this and also adds some debugging code to src/plugins/quota/quota-fs.c to show the processing of quota2. These patches are only needed for Solaris with filesystem quotas. dovecot-1.2.12 ############## *** ./src/lib/mountpoint.c.orig Mon Jan 25 00:14:17 2010 --- ./src/lib/mountpoint.c Thu Jul 8 11:21:11 2010 *************** *** 164,169 **** --- 164,170 ---- i_error("fopen(%s) failed: %m", MTAB_PATH); return -1; } + resetmnttab(f); while ((getextmntent(f, &ent.ext, sizeof(ent.ext))) == 0) { if (hasmntopt(&ent.ent, MNTOPT_IGNORE) != NULL) continue; *** ./src/plugins/quota/quota-fs.c.orig Sat Jun 19 00:12:44 2010 --- ./src/plugins/quota/quota-fs.c Wed Jul 7 16:54:20 2010 *************** *** 249,256 **** continue; mount = fs_quota_mountpoint_get(root->storage_mount_path); ! if (mount != NULL) fs_quota_mount_init(root, mount); } } --- 249,263 ---- continue; mount = fs_quota_mountpoint_get(root->storage_mount_path); ! if (mount != NULL) { ! if (quota->set->debug) { ! i_info("fs quota2 add storage dir = %s", root->storage_mount_path); ! i_info("fs quota2 block device = %s", mount->device_path); ! i_info("fs quota2 mount point = %s", mount->mount_path); ! i_info("fs quota2 mount type = %s", mount->type); ! } fs_quota_mount_init(root, mount); + } } } dovecot-2.0.rc1 ############### *** ./src/lib/mountpoint.c.orig Mon Jan 25 00:16:12 2010 --- ./src/lib/mountpoint.c Thu Jul 8 11:24:10 2010 *************** *** 164,169 **** --- 164,170 ---- i_error("fopen(%s) failed: %m", MTAB_PATH); return -1; } + resetmnttab(f); while ((getextmntent(f, &ent.ext, sizeof(ent.ext))) == 0) { if (hasmntopt(&ent.ent, MNTOPT_IGNORE) != NULL) continue; *** ./src/plugins/quota/quota-fs.c.orig Fri Jul 2 21:32:40 2010 --- ./src/plugins/quota/quota-fs.c Wed Jul 7 12:52:38 2010 *************** *** 264,271 **** continue; mount = fs_quota_mountpoint_get(root->storage_mount_path); ! if (mount != NULL) fs_quota_mount_init(root, mount); } } --- 264,278 ---- continue; mount = fs_quota_mountpoint_get(root->storage_mount_path); ! if (mount != NULL) { ! if (quota->set->debug) { ! i_debug("fs quota2 add mailbox dir = %s", root->storage_mount_path); ! i_debug("fs quota2 block device = %s", mount->device_path); ! i_debug("fs quota2 mount point = %s", mount->mount_path); ! i_debug("fs quota2 mount type = %s", mount->type); ! } fs_quota_mount_init(root, mount); + } } } Greetings, Jürgen Obermann -- Hochschulrechenzentrum der | Mail: Juergen.Obermann(a)hrz.uni-giessen.de Justus-Liebig-Universitaet | WWW: http://www.uni-giessen.de/obermann Heinrich-Buff-Ring 44 | Tel: 0641-99-13054 (0641-99-13001) D-35392 Giessen, Germany | Fax: 0641-99-13009

[Dovecot] Thunderbird problem
by Frank Bonnet 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

Hello Some users had occasionally a problem with Thunderbird , some random emails with attachement(s) cannot be read anymore the email appears empty and TB seems to enter in an infinite loop saying it is downloading the message The only solution I found was : 1 - stop thunderbird on the client machine 2 - remove the .imap user's directory 3 - restart thunderbird on the client machine After doing that all emails re-appear normally and attachements are readable/downloadable again. ALL our clients use the IMAP(S) protocol. Anyone had the same problem ? Thanks F

[Dovecot] OT: Sieve + Forward as Attachment
by Jerry 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

I know that this is technically not a Dovecot problem; however, I was wondering if anyone knew if 'sieve' had been updated with the ability to 'forward as attachment' a received document. I believe it has the ability to forward a document; however, I need the ability to forward it as an attachment if possible. Also I believe, somewhat due to my asking for them, that sieve exits with appropriate error codes. Is there a listing of these codes, other than in the actual program code itself, of what those exit codes are? -- Jerry ✌ Dovecot.user(a)seibercom.net Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.

[Dovecot] Manually creating folders from terminal
by A. J. Giurato 07 Jul '10

07 Jul '10

I'm trying to use a script to create a mailbox structure. I'm aware that the structure should look like: ~/.maildir/.INBOX/{cur,tmp,new} ~/.maildir/.INBOX.Subfolder1/{cur,tmp,new} ~/.maildir/.INBOX.Subfolder2/{cur,tmp,new} ~/.maildir/.INBOX.Subfolder2.Subsubfolder1/{cur,tmp,new} ... I have tried manually making those directories and using the "maildirmake.dovecot" command that my system has. I feel that in the past, folders I have made this way worked. However, now none are showing up in my clients. In Thunderbird, they aren't even listed on the "Subscribe" window for me to enable. Using Squirrelmail doesn't show them either. Essentially what I am doing is taking my current IMAP dir structure, and making a copy in a subfolder called ".INBOX.Archive.<year>" to archive my old mail. Thus, .INBOX.Subfolder1.Subfolder2 becomes .INBOX.Archive.2009.Subfolder1.Subfolder2.

I set it up as described in the conf.d/10-director.conf From the user_db i get proxy=y and no proxyhost as described for imap/pop3 But lmtp is complaining about the missing host: Jul 07 15:00:48 auth: Debug: master in: PASS 1 user56(a)domain.de service=lmtp lip=::1 lport=30025 rip=::1 rport=41992 Jul 07 15:00:48 auth: Debug: ldap(user56@domain.de,::1): pass search: base=ou=mailboxes,ou=vfag,c=de,o=top scope=subtree filter=(&(objectClass=uco)(mail=user56(a)domain.de)) fields=mailboxname,userpassword,myproxy Jul 07 15:00:48 auth: Debug: auth(user56@domain.de,::1): username changed user56(a)domain.de -> 1000000000032 Jul 07 15:00:48 auth: Debug: ldap(1000000000032,::1): result: mailboxname(user)=1000000000032 userpassword(password)=<hidden> myproxy(proxy)=y Jul 07 15:00:48 auth: Debug: master out: PASS 1 proxy Jul 07 15:00:48 lmtp(18537): Debug: auth input: proxy Jul 07 15:00:48 lmtp(18537): Error: proxy: host not given Jul 07 15:00:48 auth: Debug: master in: USER 2 user56(a)domain.de service=lmtp lip=::1 rip=::1 Jul 07 15:00:48 auth: Debug: ldap(user56@domain.de,::1): user search: base=ou=mailboxes,ou=vfag,c=de,o=top scope=subtree filter=(&(objectClass=uco)(mail=user56(a)domain.de)) fields=homeDirectory,uidNumber,gidNumber,quotaBytes Jul 07 15:00:48 auth: Debug: ldap(user56@domain.de,::1): result: homeDirectory(home)=/mail/001/32/00/00/1000000000032 quotaBytes(quota_rule=*:storage=%$B)=*:storage=1073741824B Jul 07 15:00:48 auth: Debug: master out: USER 2 user56(a)domain.de home=/mail/001/32/00/00/1000000000032 quota_rule=*:storage=1073741824B Do i still have have to set lmtp_proxy=yes ?

[Dovecot] Logging subjects of messages
by Sandu cucereanu 07 Jul '10

07 Jul '10

Dear Sirs, I want to know if there is any possibility to log the subjects of the messages downloaded from ther server. We use dovecot 1.0.15 with POP3S and IMAP and we want to keep a trace of the reading of messages by the users of our mail server (who, when and what are the subjects of the e-mail messages read) because some users complain that they did not read some messages but in the logs of the server (maillog files( those messages appear to be delivered to their inboxes. Thank you very much for your help Best regards Alexandru Cucereanu

Hello, by accident I had configured inside 15-lda.conf protocol lda { mail_plugins = autocreate imap_acl acl } (I only wanted autocreate sieve.)

[Dovecot] dsync convert Maildir -> mdbox, separators in subscriptions file
by Frode Nordahl 06 Jul '10

06 Jul '10

Hello, I'm playing around with Dovecot 2.0 beta 4. If I use dsync to convert a users mail stored in Maildir format to mdbox format, the subscriptions file in the new mdbox is created using the wrong mailbox separator ('.') leading to folders within folders not being readable by clients using the subscription feature. Excerpt from IMAP: . LIST "" "*" * LIST (\HasChildren) "/" "Spam" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Spam/Test" . LSUB "" "*" * LSUB () "/" "Spam" * LSUB () "/" "Spam.Test" I am not currently using Maildir, and have no plans to either, so I am very pleased with mdbox using '/' as seperator. I am considering to use Maildir as a transition format so that I can use allready available scripts to do the job (uw2dovecot.pl first, then dsync). So the question is, is this a bug in dsync? At the time of conversion mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir I used the following command to do the conversion: # dsync -u username convert mdbox:~/mdbox -- Frode Nordahl

[Dovecot] how to setup a simplest travel-mode read-only IMAP
by Seetamraju Uday Bhaskar Sarma 06 Jul '10

06 Jul '10

Hi All, I don't use gmail/hotmail etc... I have been a Mozilla/SeaMonkey/Thunderbird user for ever now... The mail and folders are all on my private fileserver. But on certain tours, I do know in advance that I would like IMAP access to my mail folders. Nothing but the simplest read-only access to the years of accumulated email. (All that email was soft-mounted onto /mnt/mail for safety and simplicity.) I have read the FAQ and Wiki. I even created the /cur /new /tmp folders under /mnt/mail... (after noting errors in dovecot logs) But when I test from another machine as :- # mutt -f imap://sarma@10.0.1.10/Inbox mutt comes up blank. I did check that /mnt/mail/Inbox exists, and has read permissions to all. Ideally, I don't want dovecot updating my mail files. I just simply want to read my old mail, while my new mail will continue to reside-on/be-accessible via the webmail. Thanks in advance! # /usr/sbin/dovecot --version 1.0.15 # /usr/sbin/dovecot -n # 1.0.15: /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 login_processes_count: 1 login_max_processes_count: 2 mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: maildir:/mnt/mail:INDEX=/var/mail/dovecot/index:CONTROL=/var/mail/dovecot/lib:LAYOUT=fs mbox_dirty_syncs: no mbox_lazy_writes: no auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd

[Dovecot] Correct folder permissions for maildir....
by Donovan J. Edye 06 Jul '10

06 Jul '10

G'Day, I am trying to find a definitive answer to what the directory permissions should be for my configuration under Centos 5.5. I see a number of the following error messages in the maillog as a consequence of permissions errors. After reading the FAQ, Wiki etc. and browsing the web I am unable to determine just exactly what the user security settings should be for the offending folders. If anyone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. Should you require additional diagnostic information let me know and I will source it.
