[Dovecot] importing outlook express messages to dovecot imap server
by Angelo Chen 26 Jun '10

26 Jun '10

Hi, I have a local Dovecot 1.1.4 running. I have a big number of outlook express messages that I like to put into Maildir so that I can use Dovecot's imap to access. I can convert them into mbox format. any available means for me to import outlook express/mbox messages into Maildir/Dovecot? command line will be preferred, Thanks, Angelo

Others on this list would be more help than me regarding this. From the looks of it though (after browsing the dovecot.conf file, which is well documented btw) I don't think you'd need to change a thing. We'll certainly find out if that's the case or not. I'd just give it a go. Perhaps on a test account initially. ;) -- -Eric 'shubes'

[Dovecot] Pigeonhole Managesieve issue with Dovecot 2.0
by Tim Traver 26 Jun '10

26 Jun '10

Hi all, ok, I am running version v2.0.beta6 and the latest pigeonhole build to run managesieve and the sieve delivery filters... I am getting the following response from the managesieve port when connecting : Escape character is '^]'. "IMPLEMENTATION" "Dovecot" "SIEVE" "" "SASL" "PLAIN" "STARTTLS" "VERSION" "1.0" OK "Dovecot ready." But, I think that the SIEVE line is suppose to have all of the supported sieve functions like so : "SIEVE" "comparator-i;ascii-numeric fileinto reject vacation imapflags notify include envelope body relational regex subaddress copy" I modified the dovecot sieve config file to try and add (although they should all be added by default), and it still comes up blank... Am I missing something? what might cause it to not broadcast the sieve implementations that it has? Thanks, Tim.

[Dovecot] auth_cache_size
by Daniel L. Miller 25 Jun '10

25 Jun '10

I was going to ask how much space I should allocate for auth_cache_size - but decided to read the wiki first. Now I'll be more specific - Wiki says about 50 bytes per passdb, and up to 200 bytes for userdb - so my arithmetic says each combined entry needs 250 bytes budgeted. Assuming that's correct, I need some clarification. Let's start small. Assume ten users, all connected - and everybody also likes looking at everybody else's mailbox. So there are ten clients, each with at least ten connections (I say at least because each folder viewed within an account is its own connection, right?). How is the auth_cache used? If I have ten user/pass combinations - is that all that is stored? Or are there connection-specific entries as well? In other words, for the above example, do I have 10 x 250 bytes yields auth_cache_size=3, or do I need 10 x 10 x 250 yields auth_cache_size=30 - or am I totally off? -- Daniel

The quota plugin in 2.0.beta6 leaks 2KB "quota settings" pools. Here is a patch to plug this leak, assuming you intended the caller of quota_init to retain ownership of the quota_set.

[Dovecot] Proxy Access (Manager/Secretary) Best Practices?
by Chris Hobbs 23 Jun '10

23 Jun '10

I've mostly got our dovecot+postfix+SOGo+openldap open source groupware replacement working the way I want it to; we're replacing GroupWise in our organization and I'm thrilled to be doing it. I'm supporting about 1,000 active staff users (and another 6,000 student accounts). I've got e-mail and calendar sharing working, and it does what it says it will do, but it is (go figure) different in concept from Proxy access under GroupWise. In GroupWise, I can give my secretary proxy access to my account and she can read all of my folders, see my calendars, and send e-mail as me. To someone that receives an e-mail or appointment request from her while she's proxied to me, there's no distinction at all. Is there a way to mimic this sort of functionality with the tools I've chosen? I've figured out that I can add additional 'mail' attributes to the secretary's record, and those addresses are available as drop-down choices in the SOGo web interface, but with the secretary's name and not the manager. Any advice will be much appreciated. And many thanks to the developers involved for writing and making available such amazingly good software. Eliminating the license fees we've been paying to Novell is allowing me to save a technician that surely would have been eliminated in budget cuts this year.

[Dovecot] More Dovecot 2.0 permissions issues
by Tim Traver 22 Jun '10

22 Jun '10

Hi Timo, ok, using the latest 2.0beta6... I can't figure out the settings for the log file to have the correct permissions. When the log file is created, it is created owned by root and 0600 permissions, which doesn't allow the lda to write to it if I use different users and groups for that main config... If I then chmod the log file to 666, then everything is happy, but again, if that log file is removed and created by dovecot, it will create it back with 0600 and the lda will error and not deliver mail because of it... I was not able to find anywhere else to set the mode of the log files or the mask that is used... here is the current config : # 2.0.beta6: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE-p3 i386 auth_username_format = %Lu auth_username_translation = %@ auth_verbose = yes disable_plaintext_auth = no dotlock_use_excl = yes first_valid_uid = 100 listen = * lock_method = dotlock log_path = /local/logs/dovecot.errors mail_gid = 100 mail_location = maildir:%h/Maildir mail_nfs_index = yes mail_nfs_storage = yes mail_uid = 100 mmap_disable = yes passdb { args = /bin/checkpassword_dovecot_auth driver = checkpassword } plugin { quota = maildir sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/Maildir/sieve } protocols = imap pop3 managesieve quota_full_tempfail = yes service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { mode = 0660 } } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = prefetch } userdb { args = /bin/checkpassword_dovecot_deliver driver = checkpassword } verbose_proctitle = yes protocol pop3 { pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh } protocol lda { mail_plugins = quota sieve } protocol imap { mail_plugins = quota imap_quota } Thanks, Tim.

[Dovecot] Postfix, MySQL, Dovecot LDA and alias domains
by Darek M 22 Jun '10

22 Jun '10

Hi there, I have a postfix/postfixadmin/mysql/dovecot install that was using 'virtual' for the LDA. I tried the 'dovecot' LDA to enable Sieve but ran into trouble with aliases. With domain "some-domain.com" being an alias to "somedomain.com", mail sent to *(a)somedomain.com would be delivered to the Maildir fine, but the 'dovecot' LDA tossed "unknown user" for anything sent to *(a)some-domain.com (the alias to the other domain). My dovecot.sql: driver = mysql connect = host=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock dbname=postfix user=dovecot password=dovecot user_query = SELECT concat('/home/vmail/', maildir) as home, concat('maildir:/home/vmail/', maildir) as mail, 5000 AS uid, 5000 AS gid, concat('maildir:storage=', quota) AS quota FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active = '1' password_query = SELECT username as user, password, concat('/home/vmail/', maildir) as userdb_home, concat('maildir:/home/vmail/', maildir) as userdb_mail, 5000 as userdb_uid, 5000 as userdb_gid FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active = '1' The problem is fairly simple: Dovecot isn't being told anything about the 'alias_domain' table that pairs alias domains with actual ones. So the question is: do I add a second "user_query" in dovecot.sql, or is there an "alias_query" directive, or similar? And does anyone have a query that would point an alias domain to the real maildir? - Darek

[Dovecot] Outlook problem

[Dovecot] "failed to store into mailbox 'INBOX': Not enough disk space." with large mail

22 Jun '10

Hello, I am having this error message on some rare emails with more than 6 mb or so. Neither the dovecot server nor the filesystem where the maildir resides have any quota or are full at the time of delivering. The mails goes getmail->postfix->dovecot delivery agent Is the mail written to any other place than the maildir folder? Even though all my temp folders should also be able to hold some megabytes...

[Dovecot] New mailbox & autocreate
by Bambero 21 Jun '10

21 Jun '10

Hi, First of all BIG THANKS for great piece of software. I have a small problem with autocreate. My mails are stored in: /var/mail Ex. /var/mail/test(a)test.pl/Maildir Account information comes from DB. So when new account appears in DB full path including home dir is created. But there is one small problem: Group always is "wheel". Autocreating ignores gid from DB and uses the group of the parent directory - in this case /var/mail. But when I create home dir manualy (setting right group) group of autocreated Maildir is OK. Is it possible to configure dovecot to set group from DB. Regards, Bambero

[Dovecot] Error: dict: Leaked a t_pop() call
by Brendan McCollam 21 Jun '10

21 Jun '10

I'm running dovecot 1.0.7 on CentOS 5.5, and I've configured it to work with PostfixAdmin (http://sourceforge.net/projects/postfixadmin/) Everything seems to work great, except for one problem. Any time a user logs in, I get errors like the following Jun 19 02:21:59 ve dovecot: dict: Leaked a t_pop() call in I/O handler (nil) Jun 19 02:21:59 ve dovecot: dict: Raw backtrace: dict [0x40e85e] -> dict [0x40e5cc] -> dict(io_loop_handler_run+0x1c9) [0x411279] -> dict(io_loop_run+0x18) [0x4106b8] -> dict(main+0x139) [0x408509] -> /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf4) [0x2ab19ec13994] -> dict[0x407589] The only information I could find online was from this mailing list a few years back: http://copilotco.com/mail-archives/dovecot.2007/msg08975.html The response seems to be "nobody keeps their quota in MySQL", but the setup I'm using is what's recommended by the authors of PostfixAdmin: http://postfixadmin.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/postfixadmin/trunk/DOCUMENTS… So, I guess my questions are these: 1) Is this error at all serious? Will it impact performance, or can it be safely ignored? 2) If it is something that should be addressed, do you think I would be better off trying to patch and recompile the 1.0.7 version, or just upgrading to a newer version of Dovecot (keeping in mind that 1.0.7 seems to be the latest available in CentOS repositories) Thank you for your time, and your outstanding software. -Brendan
