[Dovecot] Problem with sieve: Keep: Generic Error
by Thomas Siebert 03 Dec '08

03 Dec '08

Hi, i came across a strange error message in Ubuntu 8.10s package (Dovecot 1.1.4) regarding sieve: sieve runtime error: Keep: Generic Error sieve_execute_bytecode(/etc/dovecot/sieve/default.sievec) failed Note that the Sieve Scripts are basically executed fine and working fine. After a lot of testing I suppose the following: "keep" doesn't detect the private namespace I have to use (courier-compatibility...), thus sieve fails to do "keep", the message is handed back to dovecot-deliver which does a "keep"-similar action itself. If I have a script with "keep;" as the only command, I get this error message. If my script is totally blank (i.e. implicit keep only), I get the same error. But if there's no implicit or explicit "keep", e.g. "fileinto INBOX;" as only command, there's no error. Also IMAP-Folders, e.g. "fileinto INBOX.Test", work. Unfortunately, "fileinto INBOX" as default is no option for me, as I use a delimiter and want to let deliver put the mails into the according IMAP-Folders. Is this a known bug? Any Ideas?

[Dovecot] Compilation of 1.1.6 fails on HP-UX 11.31
by Marc Beyer 03 Dec '08

03 Dec '08

Hi, $ uname -srv HP-UX B.11.31 U $ cc --version cc: HP C/aC++ B3910B A.06.20 [May 13 2008] Compilation fails, output of configure and make are given below. The cause of this is almost certainly that this version of HP-UX does define the QCMD macro in sys/quota.h (checked in the ifdef line 26 dovecot-1.1.6/src/plugins/quota/quota-fs.h) as well as the dqblk struct, but the latter with different fields than the Linux version. Older versions of HP-UX seem not to have contained this macro(? can't check this at the moment), which is probably why it was used to distinguish between HP-UX and Linux in quota-fs.h. Deleting lines 26-28 and 30 from dovecot-1.1.6/src/plugins/quota/quota-fs.h fixes the problem for HP-UX, but of course a real fix would need to add a more current method of distinguishing between Linux and HP-UX. If there's any more helfpul information you'd like let me know, cheers, Marc configure: ...

[Dovecot] Using namespaces to duplicate mailboxes (Doable?)
by Julio C. Ortega 03 Dec '08

03 Dec '08

Greetings. As part of a new installation of dovecot, we are exploring backup options, and wondered if it's at all possible to define a couple of namespaces where messages get duplicated to be saved in another disk for fast recovery. (we do not intent to load balance between the two, all we would like is to see if it's possible to have duplicate mailboxes so to keep a fast working backup _besides_ normal methods: tape, external disk, etc.) The whole idea behind this would be that in case of a major failure of the array holding the mailboxes, a fast working backup can be put in place. Other thing we would like to know (and i reckon it's a long shot) if it's possible to "hide" this mailbox copy from the IMAP clients, so as to prevent any user from subscribing _again_ to the same folders. Naturally this last thing is to be considered only if the former (mailbox copy trough namespaces or other dovecot _internal_ method) it's at all possible. Any feedback or better ideas are totally welcome. -- --------------------------------- Julio C. Ortega Grupo de Infraestructura ONUVA | Integración de Sistemas http://www.onuva.com

[Dovecot] data retention and e-discovery rules
by Trever L. Adams 02 Dec '08

02 Dec '08

Hello All, I am in the United States where we have e-discovery rules. Some organizations have to retain data for a certain amount of time, others are required to have a data retention policy. This means that while it should probably be possible for a user to "delete" an email so they do not see it. The server needs to store it, possibly in a tree that mirrors the folder setup of the user (so if it is in "Sales" folder, it should move to namespace "hidden", or similar, in folder "Sales"). Is there anything like this in dovecot? Is it possible to use cron jobs to see when the message was deleted (Maildir) and erase it based on policy? (Python scripts are fine if the users password isn't needed.) Thank you, Trever Adams

[Dovecot] symlink() failure in 1.2 managesieve
by Bruce A. Mallett 02 Dec '08

02 Dec '08

I've been simultaneously learning about dovecot and experimenting with the 1.2.alpha4. To start I built an rpm under CentOS 5.2 from: dovecot-1.2.alpha4.tar.gz dovecot-1.2-managesieve-0.11.2.tar.gz dovecot-1.2.alpha4-managesieve-0.11.2.diff.gz dovecot-1.2.alpha4.tar.gz dovecot-1.2-sieve-0.1.2.tar.gz and then setup with mysql to use virtual users. Mail-wise, it all works. :) Where I'm having trouble is with the managesieve part. I find that when I activate a sieve script I get a symlink() failure message in /var/log/maillog similar to this: Dec 2 05:12:47 hostname dovecot: MANAGESIEVE(account(a)hostname.com): sieve-storage: Creating symlink() hostname.com/account//.dovecot.sieve to /usr/local/virtual/hostname.com/account/sieve/Test.sieve failed: No such file or directory I began to chase this first by inserting i_info() calls into various points of the managesieve build and later by attaching to the process with gdb. I can see that in sieve_storage_script_activate() the storage->active_path member is incomplete (i.e., is not a full, absolute path name) and the cwd is "/tmp", thus the symlink() call fails. Based on what I've been reading in the documentation, shouldn't the system have resolved the "home" area for the mail to be the same as what is determined for the virtual user mail area? Using the README in the alpha4 package I've found that I can get it to work by adding the following after the "protocol manageseive {}" section: plugin { sieve=/usr/local/virtual/%d/%n/.dovecot.sieve sieve_storage=/usr/local/virtual/%d/%n/sieve } While that helps, I'm a little confused as to why I need to do this. I believe that the documentation states that the sieve defaults to .dovecot.sieve under the MAIL_LOCATION directory. So it is not clear to me if I am doing something wrong, if there is an oversight in the software and/or documentation (or perhaps my reading of it), or is it really necessary to specify the same information multiple times? - Bruce Here is some output that may be of use: -bash-3.2# dovecot -n # 1.2.alpha4: /etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.18-8.1.8.el5xen x86_64 CentOS release 5.2 (Final) ext3 info_log_path: /var/log/dovecot.log protocols: imap imaps pop3 pop3s managesieve login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login login_executable(managesieve): /usr/libexec/dovecot/managesieve-login max_mail_processes: 100 first_valid_uid: 150 last_valid_uid: 150 mail_location: maildir:/usr/local/virtual/%d/%n mail_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_executable(managesieve): /usr/libexec/dovecot/managesieve mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib64/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(managesieve): /usr/lib64/dovecot/managesieve auth default: mechanisms: plain digest-md5 debug: yes debug_passwords: yes passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql.conf userdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql.conf plugin: sieve: /usr/local/virtual/%d/%n/.dovecot.sieve sieve_storage: /usr/local/virtual/%d/%n/sieve ----- -bash-3.2# grep -v '^ *$#.*$\?$' /etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql.conf driver = mysql connect = host=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock dbname=postfix user=postfix password=postfix default_pass_scheme = MD5-CRYPT user_query = \ SELECT maildir as home, 150 AS uid, 12 AS gid FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' password_query = select password from mailbox where username='%u'

[Dovecot] Feature request: Force leave copy on server
by Bárður Háskor 02 Dec '08

02 Dec '08

It would be very nice, if I could force users to leave a copy on the server when using POP3. This is because users primarily use a web interface to access mail (the web interface uses IMAP), but users can also download messages using POP3. Users who forget to set the "Leave copy on server" get all their messages deleted in the web interface, and mostly they don't want (expect) this behavior. Isn't it possible to create another way to tag POP3 messages as deleted without these being deleted in IMAP? Sincerely, Bardur Haskor

[Dovecot] help on MailLocation please!
by Li Wei Nan 01 Dec '08

01 Dec '08

Hi Everyone, I'm now using dovecot with a POP3&SMTP server called JAMES. I want dovecot and james to share the email location. Both dovecot and james can store email in mbox format. However, the james will only store mbox mail repo in a fixed dir, such as: /var/mail/ And it will naming each user's mbox repo by its name, such as /var/ mail/tom or /var/mail/peter, etc. So I have to config dovecot for it to fit the situation. So I config dovecot as: mail_location = mbox:/var/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u The inbox get worked now, dovecot can read the mbox file created by james correctly. However, dovecot make each user's Trash, Sent in same directory: /var/mail. So it means all the user just have one Trash, Sent. I've read the Wiki carefully and tried some different config and still cannot get it work. Can anyone gives me some advice on it? Thanks a lot! What I hope to achieve is: - Let dovecot read everyone's inbox at: /var/mail/%u (it's a mbox file, not dir) - Let dovecot store everyone's Trash, Sent in /var/mail/%u/mail Thanks in advance. - Li Wei Nan

[Dovecot] lda logging directive does'nt work...

01 Dec '08

Hi all, I'm using Postfix + Dovecot with system users (/etc/passwd and NIS) + deliver + cmusieve; Here are some relevant lines in conf files : /etc/postfix/main.cf ... mailbox_command = /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver ... /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf ... protocol lda { postmaster_address = postmaster(a)lri.fr mail_plugins = cmusieve deliver_log_format = msig=%m : Subject=%s : From=%f :%$ } ... I just want deliver to log more than default format...like procmail... but nothing happens...the line 'deliver_log_format' seems to be ignored. Any idea ?

[Dovecot] Dovecot POP3 problem: Authentication suddenly fails until dovecot gets restarted
by Carsten Buchenau 01 Dec '08

01 Dec '08

Hi, I am running dovecot with postfix and OTRS2 on a fresh Ubuntu 8.10 Server system. OTRS2 is configured to poll new email to otrs-incoming@localhost via POP3 every 5 minutes. It works, but after approximately 20 hours it suddenly stops working and only a restart of dovecot helps. The outage starts at different times during night (00:15 on Thursday, 1:15 on Friday, 3:20 on Saturday). I checked all cron-jobs, but couldn't find anything matching. Anyone any idea? Thanks, carsten Mail.log: Nov 29 07:10:13 wombat dovecot: auth-worker(default): pam(otrs-incoming,127.0.0.1): pam_start() failed: Critical error - immediate abort Nov 29 07:10:14 wombat dovecot: pop3-login: Aborted login (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=<otrs-incoming>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured Dovecot.conf: protocols = pop3 pop3s log_timestamp = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S " mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u mail_privileged_group = mail protocol imap { } protocol pop3 { pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv } protocol managesieve { sieve=~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_storage=~/sieve } auth default { mechanisms = plain passdb pam { } userdb passwd { } user = root } dict { } plugin { } /etc/pam.d/dovecot: #%PAM-1.0 @include common-auth @include common-account @include common-session Manual test of POP3 Authentication: root@localhost:/etc/pam.d# telnet localhost 110 Trying 127.0.0.1...

[Dovecot] Relay-Ctrl, error message
by Wouter van der Schagt 30 Nov '08

30 Nov '08

Hi all, I'm trying to get Relay-Ctrl to work (as explained on http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/PopBSMTPAndDovecot) however when i add: mail_executable: /usr/local/bin/envdir /etc/relay-ctrl /usr/local/bin/relay-ctrl-chdir /usr/local/bin/dovecot-settcpremoteip /usr/local/bin/relay-ctrl-allow /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap to /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf I get the following error message when doing dovecot -n Error: Error in configuration file /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf line 126: Expecting '=' Fatal: Invalid configuration in /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf So I'm guessing i misplaced the line somewhere in the config file. Where should it be placed? Does it work for both pop3 and imap? Sincerely, - Wouter van der Schagt

[Dovecot] Cache details
by Warren Baker 30 Nov '08

30 Nov '08

Hi All, Is there any specific details we can extract from dovecots authentication cache (besides Authentication cache hits)? Reason i am asking is because we had a mysql user account which was returning a unknown user account. Fixing the one value in the sql result didnt have any affect and Dovecot was still returning an auth failure for the user after 24 hours had elapsed, even though auth_cache_negative_ttl was set to 120. Restarting Dovecot or a SIGHUP on dovecot-auth sorted out the problem. It would be useful if we could interrogate the cache somehow to see what cache entry is been hit. Auth cache settings are as follows: auth_cache_size = 51200 auth_cache_ttl = 2100 auth_cache_negative_ttl = 120 Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks, Warren

[Dovecot] INTERNALDATE call, timezone randomly changes
by Guy 30 Nov '08

30 Nov '08

Hi guys, I've run into an odd little problem. We use SquirrelMail as the basis for our webmail. Recently I've had a user complaining that the "Received" time on mail in the Sent folder has changed between logins. The change is always been by +1 hours or -5 hours. While checking, our developer had a time changed by +2 hours. On refresh it changed back. He poked through the code and it looks like SquirrelMail gets the received date via an IMAP command: A003 FETCH 1:10 (INTERNALDATE FLAGS BODY.PEEK[HEADER.FIELDS (To Content-Type Subject Date)]) I'm running dovecot 1.1.6, and I'm wondering how that function gets the date and time? If I can isolate the source of the timezone I can try and correct it. The server time shown by "date" is correct and /etc/localtime is /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/London (which is correct - I've also se the timezone in /etc/conf.d/clock is set to "Europe/London" now), so I'm wondering where else the information could be coming from? Thanks for any information you can give me to help isolate the problem. Guy -- Don't just do something...sit there!

[Dovecot] v1.2.alpha4 released
by Timo Sirainen 30 Nov '08

30 Nov '08

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/alpha/dovecot-1.2.alpha4.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/alpha/dovecot-1.2.alpha4.tar.gz.sig Note that there are significant changes in this release from alpha3 and I haven't tested everything extensively. Be careful. The next release will hopefully be v1.2.beta1 with a feature freeze. Most importantly shared mailboxes and IMAP ACLs are finally supported. This is mainly thanks to the Kolab people (looks like I forgot your names from NEWS file, the next release will have them). I'll have to write a wiki page about ACLs, but the main thing you need to know is that if you want shared mailboxes to be LISTable by other users, you'll need to specify acl_dict. If you don't expect many shared mailboxes, a file backend is the easiest, but you could also use SQL or Berkeley DB. With a file backend you could also create per-domain files, which will improve performance if you don't need cross-domain shared mailboxes. You could do this with e.g.: acl_file = /home/virtual/%d/shared-mailboxes Also full text searching works now better with virtual mailboxes. Previously the fts would have duplicated the indexes for virtual mailboxes. Now with Solr backend it searches the original mailboxes directly. Although this is still missing some optimizations and also it doesn't check first if mails are missing from the original mailboxes, so it may not find everything. Also this still doesn't work with Squat backend.. Anyway, a bit more code and Dovecot will have fast full text searching from all mailboxes (virtual * mailbox). I implemented also draft-gulbrandsen-imap-response-codes-04, which adds some [codes] for all IMAP command failures, which should make it possible for clients to figure out more easily what caused the failure. Hopefully the draft won't change much anymore. :)

[Dovecot] Dovecot as proxy for M$ Exchange mailboxes
by Axel Schmalowsky 30 Nov '08

30 Nov '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi list, is there a way to use dovecot as proxy for m$ exchange mailboxes? Currently, our clients not only can login to their mailboxes with their e-mail address but also with their accountid. Both the clients e-mail address and accountid are stored in ldap. Now I need a way to let dovecot rewriting the client's accountid to the respective e-mail address. Is this possible with the proxy-feature of dovecot? Any hints would be appreciated. - -- Freundliche Grüße / Kind regards Axel Schmalowsky Platform Engineer ___________________________________ domainfactory GmbH Oskar-Messter-Str. 33 85737 Ismaning Germany Telefon: +49 (0)89 / 55266-356 Telefax: +49 (0)89 / 55266-222 E-Mail: aschmalowsky(a)df.eu Internet: www.df.eu Registergericht: Amtsgericht München HRB 150294, Geschäftsführer Tobias Marburg, Jochen Tuchbreiter -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFJL+JKsuqpduCyZM0RAoFUAJ9mPbv5eI5xP54YhwlmOs40F1RxDQCgir5l jCdaNeXKO8FnOCxaKSI7S4E= =m5WN -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Re: [Dovecot] Dovecot - Vpopmail subdirectories
by Yacoubi Mohamed 28 Nov '08

28 Nov '08

Hello, Thank you for this link, but this is not what I want. Dovecot is only used for imap. Currently, authentication works fine, but new fields are created in a subdirectory. Example: /var/vpopmail/domains/0/domain.com Once authenticated, I just want to be in chroot /var/vpopmail/domains/0/domain.com/user and not in /var/vpopmail/domains/domain.com/user I explained that vpopmail which manages the creation of areas and I can not influence the subdirectory. Sincerely, -- Mohamed YACOUBI

[Dovecot] ManageSieve and invalid scriptname
by Miguel Filho 28 Nov '08

28 Nov '08

Hello there, I have been using pysieved and avelsieve and it has been working great. I decided to do test with the ManageSieve patch and got this problem: Nov 27 17:21:29 cambui dovecot: MANAGESIEVE(miguel): sieve-storage: using active sieve script path: ~/.dovecot.sieve Nov 27 17:21:29 cambui dovecot: MANAGESIEVE(miguel): sieve-storage: using sieve script storage directory: ~/.sieve Nov 27 17:21:29 cambui dovecot: MANAGESIEVE(miguel): sieve-storage: relative path to sieve storage in active link: .sieve/ Nov 27 17:21:29 cambui dovecot: MANAGESIEVE(miguel): sieve-storage: Active sieve script symlink /home/admsis/miguel/.dovecot.sieve is broken: invalid scriptname (points to .sieve/phpscript). Well as you can see, a file without the .sieve is not welcome :-( I checked the RFC and there is no requirement for a .sieve file extension when considering scriptnames. http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-martin-managesieve-12#section-1.6 Is this a misplaced restriction or it really should be enforced for any reason? I hope that this can be tolerable, or I will have to rename a lot of scripts and remove all hardcoded "phpscript" strings from avelsieve :-( Regards and thanks for the great work. Miguel

[Dovecot] Sieve and global scripts
by Allan Cassaro 28 Nov '08

28 Nov '08

Hi Stephan Bosch, there's any way to make the dovecot deliver agent (with sieve) load a "global sieve script" before load the user sieve file? I want to create some rules for every one, like: "if header contais: IS SPAM, move to SPAM BOX"... I made this today with a couple of "sed + awk" and a wraper for managesieve-login... but, this is definily not the best way to do this... This is possible to do? (Even with change in the code) Regards. -- "Não deixe a faculdade atrapalhar seus estudos." http://allan.cassaro.googlepages.com

Do i need to give dovecot a > message number that was last downloaded? If the UIDLs are exactly the same, I've no idea why the client would download a duplicate. I haven't heard before that a changed IP would be an issue. Of course that would still be a client-specific issue. Sounds a bit unlikely though. Ccing back to list in case someone else has an idea..

[Dovecot] Namespaces and shared folders
by bbell2000 28 Nov '08

28 Nov '08

I had a working dovecot install before I tried to implement shared folders using namespaces. I added the following to /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf: namespace private { separator = prefix = inbox = yes } namespace public { separator = / prefix = location = maildir:/home/public/shared/Maildir } </pre> I created my shared folder using the maildirmake command that came with qmail: maildirmake -S /home/public/shared/Maildir maildirmake -s write -f online /home/public/shared/Maildir chown -R dovecot:shared /home/public/shared find /home/public/shared -type d -exec chmod 0777 {} \; find /home/public/shared -type f -exec chmod 0666 {} \; At this point, the online folder shows up as a subscribable folder in Thunderbird. I can subscribe to online and I can still access my Inbox. But I can't get to any of the folders in my Inbox (Trash, Drafts, etc.). I can access these folders if I comment out the namespaces and revert to the default behavior. There are no clues in mail.err, mail.info or mail.warn -- the only messages are the ones written when my client establishes a successful IMAP connection. What did I do wrong? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Namespaces-and-shared-folders-tp20727713p20727713.html Sent from the Dovecot mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Dovecot] UIDL question
by Wouter van der Schagt 28 Nov '08

28 Nov '08

Hi all, I'm migrating a Postfix + Dovecot 1.0 server with mboxes to Qmail + Dovecot 1.4 with Maildirs and encounter the following the problem. Using perfect-maildir.pl from: http://perfectmaildir.home-dn.net/ i can relatively succesfully convert the mbox to a Maildir. The problem, however is that clients with "leave mail on server" set to on retrieve all email a 2nd time. I understand this must be because the email client "sees" a different UIDL and downloads the message again. Looking at the 1.0 configuration, i do not see a "pop3_uidl_format" setting. So was wondering how the UIDL is generated. Is anybody aware of a conversion script that properly maintains the UIDL? Or am I misisng something else here? Sincerely, - Wouter van der Schagt
