[Dovecot] Dovecot blog
by Timo Sirainen 20 Feb '10

20 Feb '10

http://blog.dovecot.org/ I was thinking that I could blog about: - ideas for new Dovecot feature designs - when I actually manage to implement some new great feature - maybe some stuff about IMAP/email in general - and maybe whenever I happen to be moving to a different country I wasn't really planning on announcing new releases there. Dovecot feature designs are also sent to Dovecot mailing list, as before. But there have been other things I've thought about mentioning somewhere, but Dovecot ML didn't really seem like the right place. I doubt I'll update the blog very often. But that probably makes it even more useful, since casual readers find the useful stuff quickly. :)

[Dovecot] Virtual POP3 Inbox question
by Josephus 20 Feb '10

20 Feb '10

Hi, I'm having trouble implementing the virtual pop3 inbox solution in Dovecot 1.2.x. As the following wiki page describes (http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Virtual) one should only set the inbox=yes flag for the virtual namespace which then flattens all mailboxes in the realmails/ prefix. In the above example when I set the inbox=yes flag for the virtual namespace, the inbox in the realmails/ prefix gets left out for obvious reasons. How did the original author intend this to work? Regards, Jos

[Dovecot] Dovecot design-question
by Werner 20 Feb '10

20 Feb '10

Hi everybody, we're currently in the process of drafting our new mailserver-setup. Instead of a single-server-setup we'd like to have two equal servers behind a loadbalancer like LVS and shared mailhomes on NFS. We'd like to use dovecot for POP/IMAP, dovecot-deliver as LDA. - It's probably the best idea to direct SMTP and POP/IMAP always to the same server behind the loadbalancer (because dovecot-deliver is used which updates indexes?) - If we think of a "active/passive" setup: dovecot index-files locally or on the nfs-share? - Is it possible to activate loadbalancing for SMTP in this environment if dovecot index-files are held locally on each machine (POP/IMAP is directed only to one of the two servers?) Any comments welcome :-) Werner

[Dovecot] exporting client socket to postfix
by zhong ming wu 20 Feb '10

20 Feb '10

Dear List, I have a few questions regarding dovecot sasl authentication that are somewhat related to each other. I have a working dovecot config with ---------- ssl_verify_client_cert = yes .. . ssl_require_client_cert = yes ssl_username_from_cert = yes --------------- (With this set up I need not set a correct user name in my mail client so long as I have it correctly in cert.) It turns out that I cannot export client socket to postfix to do smtp authentication unless I comment out ssl_require_client_cert=yes Does it mean that postfix is not passing to dovecot any information about certificate? Is passing certificate information not part of sasl framework? If so I won't be able to use it with a different sasl implementation. Also if I comment out ssl_require_client_cert=yes, then I can no longer use username from cert to log in to retrieve my pop mail. I prefer to get username this way otherwise my thunderbird mailbox reads user@domain.org@domain.org; I could have more than one domain in my dovecot servers. Thanks mr.wu

[Dovecot] passing parameters to deliver
by kjonca＠wp.pl 20 Feb '10

20 Feb '10

Is any posibility to pass parameters/environment variables to deliver with sieve plugin? I have some procmail rules to decide where mail should go, which can't be migrated to sieve (uses external programs). So far I write it to maildirs, but I wonder to migrate to mdbox, and procmail can't handle it. Any ideas?

[Dovecot] Feature request? Make deliver quota inclusive!
by Joachim Boltz 19 Feb '10

19 Feb '10

hi all, I'd like to make deliver put mail into a nearly full mailbox even when they become overquota as a result. The same problem came up a few weeks ago: http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2010-January/045695.html Since no solution was offered may I suggest this topic as an additional feature for future releases? ;-) This is a important for me because sometimes users are lazy. They think "oh, still 10% left, no reason to delete mail" while in the meantime large messages are already bounced, while some small ones arrive in the users inbox. cheers, achim

[Dovecot] Client behaviour with sieve
by Koenraad Lelong 19 Feb '10

19 Feb '10

Hi, I have a working dovecot imap-server, with sieve. I find it odd that my mail-clients (Thunderbird 2 and 3) don't report anything that's new in the folders. What I mean is this : Postfix get's a mail and hands it over to dovecot's LDA and sieve moves it to a folder. When I log in with Thunderbird, I see new messages in my Inbox. But that message that was moved to a folder is "invisible" until I click on the folder. Then Thunderbird sees there are new messages in that folder and reports the number of new messages and makes the foldername bold. Is this the expected behaviour ? Or did I configure something wrong ? Thanks for any clarification. Regards, Koenraad Lelong.

[Dovecot] wish now I'd not upgraded...
by Stan Hoeppner 19 Feb '10

19 Feb '10

Upgraded from Debian Dovecot 1.0.15 to Debian Dovecot 1.2.10-1~bpo50+1. I use Postfix local delivery to and Dovecot mbox. As per upgrade directions, I stopped dovecot processes and deleted all dovecot.index.cache files in /home/%user/mail/.imap. Performed upgrade to 1.2.10-1~bpo50+1. Modified new dovecot.conf for my environment. Started dovecot. Problem: Instantly noticed in TB 3.0.1 Win32 that all emails in all folders were marked as unread. Stopped TB, stopped dovecot, deleted *all* files in /home/%user/mail/imap/ so indexes and caches could be rebuilt from scratch. Started dovecot, started TB. Same problem. Then I got ugly, stopped TB and dovecot, deleted all ~.imap/ files *and* deleted *all* TB cache and index files with a time stamp of today. Restarted dovecot, restarted TB. Same damn problem. I sit hit right clicking folder after folder and selecting "mark as read", only to see all the emails in the folder go "read" and then within seconds go back to marked as unread (bold). Opening messages one at a time and moving to the next doesn't even keep them marked as read. WTF is going on? Why won't they stay marked as read? I've got over 25,000 emails in these folders and I get a few hundred list mails a day. I really need to get this read/unread business straightened out. What the heck am I missing? Is this a bug in the Debian backport? Good thing I have no hair or I'd have pulled half of it out by now... -- Stan

[Dovecot] quota problem
by Andre Hübner 19 Feb '10

19 Feb '10

dovecot 1.0.15 Hello, i try to set quota settings for my users. currentyl i use a mysql table for auth process and now i want to add quotasettings for each individual user. at the moment i have the problem that only global quota is effective and no userquota which is stored in usertable. This is my mysql-usertable: login varchar(255) password varchar(64) home varchar(128) uid int(11) gid int(11) quota_kb varchar(10) active char(1) In my main-dovecot.conf i have quota/imap_quota activated for pop/imap and protocol lda This is the auth-section which contains passdb/userdb auth default { mechanisms = plain login passdb sql { args = /etc/dovecot-sql.conf } userdb sql { args = /etc/dovecot-sql.conf } user = root socket listen { client { path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode = 0660 user = postfix group = postfix } } socket listen { client { path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode = 0755 user = nobody } } } SQL-queries in /etc/dovecot-sql.conf (connection itselfs is ok, auth per mysql is working already) password_query = SELECT login as user, password, home as userdb_home, uid as userdb_uid, gid as userdb_gid FROM mail_users WHERE login = '%u' AND active='Y' user_query = SELECT login as user, home, uid, gid, concat('dirsize:storage=', quota_kb) AS quota FROM mail_users WHERE login = '%u' I think there is something missing in my conf but have no idea what it could be. I need a little hint please. Thanks, Andre

[Dovecot] auth processes
by Stan Hoeppner 19 Feb '10

19 Feb '10

With 1.0.15 my configuration I a single dovecot-auth process, which is what I want now. Since upgrading to 1.2.10 I have two such processes: root 16992 16990 0 Feb15 ? 00:00:00 dovecot-auth root 16997 16990 0 Feb15 ? 00:00:00 dovecot-auth -w I can't seem to tweak dovecot.conf to get this down to one auth process again. I've tried setting each of these below to 0, which resulted in either none, or one auth process. In the case of the one auth process, T-Bird wasn't working correctly, although it presented no pop up or other errors. When I'd click an IMAP folder it would just show whitespace and never pull up the emails. auth_worker_max_count = # Number of authentication processes to create count = This is an extremely low volume host, and I'm an efficiency freak. I don't like having "unnecessary" processes running if it is at all possible to avoid it. Given my IMAP user load, I know for a fact that I should only need one auth process, and for that matter, given my load, running all the dovecot processes from inetd is even a valid option, although I've not yet attempted that. Any ideas? Thanks. -- Stan

[Dovecot] dovecot and firstname.initial.lastname mbox format archive
by Wilko Bulte 19 Feb '10

19 Feb '10

hi Today I have been in a puzzling fight with 2 dovecot versions that I would like to ask some comments on. The situation is this: - I have a considerable mail archive in mbox format (yes, I know, but that is what I have..). - My mail reader is mutt 1.5.20 by the way. - Some of these mbox files have names like firstname.initial.lastname Note the . seperating the parts of the email-ers name. - On my old system I have dovecot v 1.1.7 which has always worked flawless - On my new system I have dovecot v 1.2.8 which refuses to handle these dot-seperated files. I get the somewhat familiar "Mailbox doesn't allow inferior mailboxes". On a not-previously-existing mbox dovecot 1.2.8 produces the directory hierarchy thing: firstname -> initial -> lastname - I am using the same dovecot.conf on v.1.1.7 and v.1.2.8 Can anyone tell me if v1.2.8 no longer is able to do what v1.1.7 did? And what I dearly would like to get working :-( And if it can, what should I put in dovecot.conf to make that happen? thanks, Wilko -- wilko(a)FreeBSD.org

[Dovecot] 2nd REPOST: mbox vs maildir
by Ashley M. Kirchner 18 Feb '10

18 Feb '10

I'm going to assume this is just not possible, or that no one has an answer, which would lead me back to uw-imap since it does work as-is. So I'll post it again, hoping that there is a solution for this setup and that folks have just been too busy to help think about it and/or help come up with a possible solution. ----- Ignoring my previous message just for a second, I realized that my config wasn't correct. First the layout: ~mail/ ~mail/Drafts ~mail/Ashley-Feb09 ~mail/Others-Feb09 ~mail-Archives/ ~mail-Archives/2009/ ~mail-Archives/2009/Ashley/ ~mail-Archives/2009/Ashley/Ashley-Dec09 ~mail-Archives/2009/Ashley/Ashley-Nov09 ~mail-Archives/2009/Ashley/Ashley-Oct09 So I (now) have this for namespaces: namespace private { separator = / prefix = "mail/" location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u inbox = yes hidden = no list = yes # for v1.1+ } namespace private { separator = / prefix = "mail-Archives/" location = maildir:~/mail-Archives:LAYOUT=fs inbox = no hidden = no list = yes subscriptions = yes } But when I'm in Thunderbird and I try to subscribe to anything that falls inside of ~/mail-Archives/ it won't work. I can browser all the way down to the folder, but I can't see anything within that folder. For example, consider the full path to the following 'Ashley-Dec09' mailbox: ~mail-Archives/2009/Ashley/Ashley-Dec09 In Thunderbird, when I hit 'Subscribe' I can browse down to '2009' and I can see 'Ashley', but I can't drill down into it and subscribe to 'Ashley-Jan09'. What am I missing here?

[Dovecot] LDAP as password database - some problems / suggestions
by Stefan Palme 18 Feb '10

18 Feb '10

Hi all, Using dovecot-1.2.6, I use dovecot with an LDAP backend for user authentication. In general this works ok, but I have some issues with this... In LDAP, I have users like this: dn:cn=user1,ou=users,dc=kapott,dc=org dn:cn=user2,ou=users,dc=kapott,dc=org etc. When authenticating users, I explicitely want to use the AUTH_BIND feature (and NOT lookup passwords). My problem: not ALL users from the LDAP system should be allowed to use the IMAP server. Currently, I have defined an auth_bind_userdn of "cn=%u,ou=users,dc=kapott,dc=org" in dovecot-ldap.conf, but with this, user1 AND user2 could login (but I don't want user2 to be able to use dovecot). Because the LDAP system is used in a larger environment, it is NOT possible to re-arrange the users like this: cn=user1,ou=dovecot,ou=users,dc=kapott,dc=org cn=user2,ou=not_dovecot,ou=users,dc=kapott,dc=org So my question: are there any plans to support group-based LDAP authentication? For several other application, I have something like this: dn:cn=dovecot,ou=groups,dc=kapott,dc=org objectclass:groupOfNames member:cn=user1,ou=users,dc=kapott,dc=org So I can define groups of user accounts - one group per application. A nice solution for this in dovecot would be, if I could "mix" password lookup and authentication bind: First, a search query should be used to find a valid DN to bind as. In my case, the search query could look like this: base="ou=groups,dc=kapott.org" filter="(&(cn=dovecot)(member=cn=%u,ou=users,dc=kapott,dc=org))" result_attribute="member" After finding a DN this way (via attribute "member"), I want to use auth_bind to use this DN for password verification... Any hints how to solve this? Any plans to support this in the future? Thanks and regards -stefan-

[Dovecot] Courier->Dovecot Migration Issue
by Tony Rutherford 18 Feb '10

18 Feb '10

For testing purposes, on a small set of users, we've run the courier-dovecot-migrate.pl script. We are converting from Courier 0.43 to Dovecot 1.2.9. For the most part, things seem to be ok. However, an iPhone IMAP client user is reporting a problem where some of her messages don't show up. Even stranger is the fact that these same messages do appear when using Outlook 2k7 for instance. The common denominator for when the messages are missing seems to be whether or not the message appeared in both the Courier IMAP and Courier POP3 uid files. The missing messages appear in the CourierIMAP file, but NOT the Courier POP file. Here is a snippet from the resulting Dovecot-uidlist file: 3 V1141844265 N12392 9338 P00cf2eb6_fadc_4992_ad3a_57cc83a16eab W5146 :00cf2eb6_fadc_4992_ad3a_57cc83a16eab:2,S 9788 P0b18a2d6_97dd_4712_a09c_23c7a3d59467 W4055 :0b18a2d6_97dd_4712_a09c_23c7a3d59467:2,S 9942 P0b3cfd0b_1fc7_47b3_805f_b369a3bb6c65 W4359 :0b3cfd0b_1fc7_47b3_805f_b369a3bb6c65:2,S 10100 Pe178f1ed_d648_47e8_807a_3e2d655d7f84 W12028 :e178f1ed_d648_47e8_807a_3e2d655d7f84:2,S 10101 Pe3f28a53_a4d4_4f3d_babe_5df72bc35b47 W13974 :e3f28a53_a4d4_4f3d_babe_5df72bc35b47:2,S 10102 Pf3c3024b_2850_43ef_a397_d5cae5c8f537 W7177 :f3c3024b_2850_43ef_a397_d5cae5c8f537:2,S 10104 P6e808a68_0a7b_4528_aa67_4cc16361c56b W10817 :6e808a68_0a7b_4528_aa67_4cc16361c56b:2,S 10105 P65c8218d_7b2a_43b7_82a4_2743025bd954 W3579 :65c8218d_7b2a_43b7_82a4_2743025bd954:2,S 10106 P963cc43e_0355_481e_99d5_5468708bc28f W6410 :963cc43e_0355_481e_99d5_5468708bc28f:2,S 10107 P1405aefc_b98b_4a35_a7dd_a69199f724d0 W4703 :1405aefc_b98b_4a35_a7dd_a69199f724d0:2,S 10108 P67908fad_ec0a_4786_b0f1_c7cfaa23d09a W127288 :67908fad_ec0a_4786_b0f1_c7cfaa23d09a:2,S 10109 :9176f3b2_1927_4657_baa8_bfe4c39e89d4:2,S 10110 :79047185_aef7_48ec_aff2_6b71bd566acd:2,S 10111 :efe275a0_a7a8_4f47_b638_45a18bc0b108:2,S The last three entries exist in the Courier IMAP file, but NOT the Courier POP file. The resulting dovecot-uidlist format is different, but to be honest, I haven't been able to find the exact specification for the format of the dovecot-uidlist file (if it exists). What is really strange to me is: If there was a problem with the migration script and resulting dovecot-uidlist file, why would these messages show up fine in some client (ex. Outlook) and not others (ex. iPhone). Regards, Tony

[Dovecot] Virtual mailboxes show up twice
by Matthijs Kooijman 18 Feb '10

18 Feb '10

Hi all, I've been struggling a bit getting Hastymail webmail to work with my virtual mailboxes. After a while, I discovered that my virtual mailboxes are listed twice: Once with \NoSelect and once without. See the following (partial) LIST reponse: * LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "/" "virtual" * LIST (\Noselect \HasNoChildren) "/" "virtual/foo" ... * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "virtual/foo" This makes somewhat sense, since my "virtual" namespace is a subdir of my default namespace: mail_location = Maildir:~/Mail:LAYOUT=fs # Default namespace, uses mail_location above namespace private { prefix = separator = / inbox = yes } # Virtual mailboxes namespace private { prefix = virtual/ separator = / # Store virtual mailbox in a "virtual" subdirectory. We use the fs layout, # so nesting of mailboxes is done using normal filesystem nesting. location = virtual:~/Mail/virtual:LAYOUT=fs } Now, should dovecot handle this configuration transparently by hiding the virtual directory from the default namespace, or is this configuration just not supported and should the virtual directory be outside of ~/Mail? The current wiki documentation on the virtual plugin currently does suggest this configuration, its examples point to ~/Maildir/virtual. Gr. Matthijs

[Dovecot] configuring overquota message
by Leonardo Rodrigues 18 Feb '10

18 Feb '10

From dovecot 1.2.10 sources i have: src/plugins/quota/quota.c #define DEFAULT_QUOTA_EXCEEDED_MSG \ "Quota exceeded (mailbox for user is full)" struct quota_settings *quota_settings_init(void) { [ .... ] quota_set->quota_exceeded_msg = getenv("QUOTA_EXCEEDED_MESSAGE"); if (quota_set->quota_exceeded_msg == NULL) quota_set->quota_exceeded_msg = DEFAULT_QUOTA_EXCEEDED_MSG; [ .... ] but i havent found, in all the sources, where the QUOTA_EXCEEDED_MESSAGE is feeded by something from dovecot.conf or anywhere else. question is: isnt it possible to configure the quota exceeded message from dovecot.conf ?? Do i really need to rebuild dovecot changing the message on quota.c for acchieving that ? -- Atenciosamente / Sincerily, Leonardo Rodrigues Solutti Tecnologia http://www.solutti.com.br Minha armadilha de SPAM, NÃO mandem email gertrudes(a)solutti.com.br My SPAMTRAP, do not email it

[Dovecot] Problem in sharing mailboxes across users
by Rampage 18 Feb '10

18 Feb '10

Hello everyone, I'm trying to configure dovecot to allow users to share their imap folders. I've followed the wiki and i'm near to accomplish my tasks, when i set ACL properly on folders using imap commands the other user can see the folder as shared, but i can't subscribe to it or even access its content using any email client (like thunderbird) couse it looks like the path to the shared folder is not complete. i mean when i go to "manage subscriptions" i can see the shared folder from the other users as "shared/user@domain/sharedfoldername" but since only "sharedfoldername" is present i cant subscribe to it. am i missing somethimg? like do i need to setup a particular directory tree on the filesystem? thnx in advice for your help. Best regards. Francesco.
