[Dovecot] two server and dbox
by a.testa＠wifisolution.it 18 Sep '08

18 Sep '08

Dear users, I have a question about the storage dbox. Is it possible to deliver e-mails from two different lda? I would have two independent servers working at the same time on nfs. Is it possible since the e-mails name will be the same? Thanks in advance Alex

[Dovecot] Outlook 2003 and Thunderbird IMAP + getting new headers
by Jan van den Berg 18 Sep '08

18 Sep '08

Hi, We run 1.1.3 and I use Outlook to connect to my IMAP box and a couple of times per day (randomly) when I click certain folders IMAP will start retrieving ALL headers for that folder again ('retrieving new headers')! I don't understand this. What triggers IMAP to do so, why not just retrieve only the NEW headers? Is it Dovecot or Outlook (probably) and what can be done about this? I already use the Dovecot Outlook workarounds. I have also gotten word that this behavior happens with Thunderbird. This is really a problem causing a lot of load on our storage (I am not the only user). Cheers, Jan

You might need some sort of home directory, but your earlier conf had mail location and home directory pointing to the same place. That location can't be a directory AND a file.

[Dovecot] procmail -> deliver: file too large
by Jim Rosenberg 17 Sep '08

17 Sep '08

I am using procmail with deliver as recommended on the wiki to send mail snagged by SpamAssassin straight to a spam folder. It seemed to be working fine, but now I'm finding messages like this: Sep 17 12:13:47 hosty deliver(whoey): write() failed with mbox file /var/mail/whoey: File too large I don't think this is a setrlimit problem -- the host operating system is OpenBSD 4.0. My dovecot version is 1.0.13. Is there a maximum size used by deliver? Or is this a procmail problem? It looks like the message is coming from deliver. I don't think this is a postfix problem -- my max message size 33M in postfix. -Thanks, Jim

[Dovecot] Expire with space in mailbox name
by Jeff Savage 17 Sep '08

17 Sep '08

Hello all, I'm running Dovecot 1.1.3 and trying to make use of the expire plugin on my mbox-based mailboxes. Expire seems to be populating the database when it comes to the trash folder, but I'm having issues with a spam folder (unfortunately) named "Junk E-mail". I've tried quotes and a backslash to account for the space, but it's not happening. Can anyone tell me how I would account for a folder like this? Neither of the following work, and I haven't found an example that addresses this. expire = Trash 7 "Junk E-mail" 7 expire = Trash 7 Junk\ E-mail 7 Thanks in advance.

[Dovecot] rejecting mail due to quota exceeded
by martin f krafft 17 Sep '08

17 Sep '08

Hi, we are using dovecot's deliver to deliver mails to a virtual mailbox tree owned by the vmail user, by piping the message to the following command spawned by vmail: /usr/bin/env HOME=/srv/vmail/mydomain.ch/myaccount /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver When a message is delivered to an account that has reached its quotum, deliver issues a failure message saying: From: Mail Delivery Subsystem <postmaster(a)seamus.madduck.net> To: $ENVELOPE_SENDER Message-ID: <dovecot-1221640816-796581-0@seamus> Subject: Automatically rejected mail Your message to <vmail> was automatically rejected: Quota exceeded The original message is attached, which is nice, however, I don't like the dovecot rejection message for two reasons: 1. there was no message to <vmail> sent, dovecot should use the envelope recipient considering that it doesn't know the envelope recipient, this would best be solved by 2. don't accept the mail and send out a rejection, just exit 69 and write the reason to stderr! Did I miss something and is this already possible with dovecot's deliver in a virtual setting? Thanks, -- martin | http://madduck.net/ | http://two.sentenc.es/ "how do you feel about women's rights?"

[Dovecot] iphone connection problem
by dovecot＠feb17.org 17 Sep '08

17 Sep '08

Hi, I recently changed from uw imap to dovecot on the sound recommendation of a friend and have mostly succeeded in getting all of my clients up and running, but am really stuck with the iPhone which is failing to make connections. I run certificates on all of my clients and thunderbird happily connects both locally and remotely. I installed the certificate on the iPhone after great pain (pk12 via the Web administration utility). When you open the configurations on the phone , it tries to make a test connection to the server and fails with a generic SSL error. Dovecot reports just a generic disconnected error (imap-login/client.c line 333), and it appears to be dropping the connection. Sep 2 09:38:17 inchoate dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (auth failed, 0 attempts): rip=209.204.139.116, lip=192.168.0.252, TLS I have run ssldump and here is the relevant section.

[Dovecot] Moving from cyrus to dovecot (a story)
by Steinar Bang 16 Sep '08

16 Sep '08

The transition was quick, and also (so far) seemingly painless. The server is an old Pentium II 233 machine that sits between my home LAN and the internet, and have sitting there, and running night and day since 1999. For the first two years it was running SuSE linux, but since 2001 it has been running debian and been continously upgraded. It was originally installed with potato, but have been apt-get dist-upgrade'd to woody, and then to sarge, and then etch, which is what it's currently running I've been using cyrus imapd since 1999 (compiled by hand on SuSE and using the debian packaged version on debian). But in all these years I've never become really friendly with it. In the years leading up to 1999 I had been running UoW imapd at work, and I wasn't too impressed with it at that point in time. The alternative choices were courier and cyrus, and I picked cyrus more or less arbitrarily. By "never become really friendly", I mean - I've never really gotten a good understanding of the configuration - I've never quite understood what the documentation have said about authentication and SSL support. I've gotten things to work by trial and error - Four times the seen data bases have become corrupt. Two times during upgrades (one of them after I had switched to skip lists), and two times on their own, while I was still running BDB - Since delivery was to a central spool and database, owned by user cyrus, has meant that I had to use sieve (which is another thing I've never quite understood) for mail filtering, instead of dear old procmail Cyrus has lots of stuff related to scaling and having mailboxes for users that have no users on the host, but that's not really relevant to my home server. Around six months ago I stumbled over dovecot, which from my POV have the following crucial features: 1. folders under the users' home directories, either as mbox or as maildir, which allows me to do list filtering with procmail, and no central databases that can become corrupt 2. understandable configuration (the only change I'd had to do in the debian dovecot, is to allow for cram-md5 authentication) I decided om maildir as the folder format. I like the simplicity of mbox folders, but I have some archive folders with around 20k of articles each, and maildir would scale a bit better for them. Also mail delivery without locking is a very nice feature. Here's how I proceeded: - I set up dovecot on my daughter's Ubuntu Hardy machine - I ran imapsync on this machine to extract everything I had on the cyrus server to Maildir folders in the users' home directories on the Ubuntu box - I shut down fetchmail on my gateway box (since ISP port filtering and blacklisting of dynamic addresses stops direct SMTP delivery I have to use ISP gateways and mail drops) - I changed the exim conf on my gateway from using cyrdeliver to delivering to a maildir folder in the users' home directory - I restored my old .procmailrc file from subversion (my home directory is checked into subversion, this was originally a CVS repo that went subversion a couple of years ago), merged in the last version of the .procmailrc that used cyrdeliver (I gave up on that because the .procmailrc file had to be owned by user cyrus, which was very impractical), and changed the filtering rules to deliver to maildir folders - I tested some delivery - I apt-get install'd dovecot from the etch back ports pointed to from the dovecot install page http://wiki.dovecot.org/PrebuiltBinaries#head-477d52d96fcf34ad3033b13e5e5a2… This uninstalled cyrus22-imapd, but not the rest of cyrus 2.2, which blocked dovecot from starting after the install - I stopped cyrus22 and uninstalled all of the cyrus22 packages - I rsync'd the maildir folders from the Ubuntu box to the old mail server - I started dovecot - I use Gnus as my MUA. I had removed all nnimap groups related to the home server in Gnus, and resubscribed them. All folders came up in the state I had left them. Gnus stores article state on the server as custom marks, and imapsync had preserved the custom flags. I unsubscribed the groups to avoid article caching confusion, because imapsync changes the UIDs. However, all folders except INBOX had changed their names, so that didn't matter much - I started fetchmail and sent som test emails, and observed that they ended up in the right Maildir folders, and that dovecot picked them up as expected And today I accessed the server from work. So it looks like I'm back in business. This time with a server I understand a lot better. Thanx for writing it, Timo! - Steinar

[Dovecot] IMAP traffic logging
by fp＠onwebworx.net 16 Sep '08

16 Sep '08

Hi! Is there any known way I can log traffic caused by IMAP sessions? First it is adequate to have a rough overall statistic let's say traffic per hour - this is easily done with iptables. But on the long term I also need information on account basis. I thought of rawlogging every IMAP session and then simply count the filesizes. But the created logs have dropouts because dovecot doesn't log whole FETCH commands what is a problem. Thanks for every idea you have! Paul

[Dovecot] Dovecot cannot unlink non-empty directory
by Włodek Waligórski 16 Sep '08

16 Sep '08

Hi, Currently I use dovecot 1.1.3 on Debian Testing. CPU arch is x86. Mail is stored on ext3 fs. I'm having a following problem with deleting folders (there is no problem with creation of folders): Error: IMAP(test(a)laptop.aonet.pl): unlink_directory(/home/vpopmail/domains/laptop.aonet.pl/test/.//Maildir/..DOVECOT-TRASHED) failed: Permission denied HOW TO REPRODUCE 1. Create a fresh new account 2. Login to a new account and create folder say 'TestFolder' 3. When I try to delete TestFolder - it is deleted and ..DOVECOT-TRASHED appears in user's Maildir AND Error: IMAP(test(a)laptop.aonet.pl): unlink_directory(/home/vpopmail/domains/laptop.aonet.pl/test/.//Maildir/..DOVECOT-TRASHED) failed: Permission denied message appears - it is triggered from line 815 of dovecot-1.1.3/src/lib-storage/index/maildir/maildir-storage.c 4. Create 'TestFolder2' 5. Trying to delete 'TestFolder2' gives the same error: Error: IMAP(test(a)laptop.aonet.pl): unlink_directory(/home/vpopmail/domains/laptop.aonet.pl/test/.//Maildir/..DOVECOT-TRASHED) failed: Permission denied this one however, is triggered from line 806 of dovecot-1.1.3/src/lib-storage/index/maildir/maildir-storage.c 6. The folder 'TestFolder2' is not deleted and from this point no other newly created folders can be deleted too. --------------------------------------------------------- I. Yes, the file permissions are fine - all are writeable to (mail_uid = vpopmail) II. The problem is - dovecot cannot unlink non-empty directory, I artificially deleted contents of ..DOVECOT-TRASHED and dovecot allowed folder deletion from client. After that situation was like in point 4. -My-config------------------------------------------------------ # 1.1.3: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf base_dir: /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/ log_path: /dev/stderr info_log_path: /dev/stderr log_timestamp: listen: 127.0.0.1:143 ssl_listen: 0:993 ssl_cert_file: /var/qmail/control/servercert.pem ssl_key_file: /var/qmail/control/servercert.pem ssl_cipher_list: ALL:!LOW verbose_ssl: yes login_dir: /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login verbose_proctitle: yes first_valid_uid: 89 last_valid_uid: 89 mail_uid: vpopmail mail_gid: vchkpw mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir mail_debug: yes mail_plugins: quota imap_quota imap_client_workarounds: outlook-idle auth default: user: vpopmail verbose: yes debug: yes passdb: driver: vpopmail args: quota_template=quota_rule=*:backend=%q userdb: driver: vpopmail plugin: quota: maildir quota_rule: ?:storage=110485760 quota_rule2: Trash:ignore quota_rule3: SPAM:ignore quota_warning: storage=90%% /usr/local/bin/imap-quota-warning 90 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- is this my mistake in configuration or is dovecot doing something wrong? tnx for help, -Włodek

Does anyone have the filter strings for Fail2Ban 0.8 to block Dovecot 1.1 login failures? Thanks! Ciao, luigi -- / +--[Luigi Rosa]-- \ If the odds are a million to one against something occurring, chances are 50-50 it will.
