[Dovecot] Rawlogging uid
by Mikko Lehto 30 Jun '11

30 Jun '11

Hi, this is my first post to the list after years of passive following every now and then. Dovecot: 2.0.13 (3d07ab746a67) prebuilt binaries from xi.rename-it.nl OS: i686 Debian 6.0 squeeze/sid I am about to run a setup where users are virtual and their mail is owned by vmail user. I bumped into minor client issue and needed to enable rawlogging according to http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Debugging/Rawlog This is what was printed to log at first try: Jun 29 21:46:25 (null)Fatal: This process must not be run as root I changed service postlogin to contain "user = vmail" and above error disapperead. I also tried "user = dovecot" which seem to work as well. Is vmail or dovecot user more appropriate for raw logging? >From wiki I got the impression that user must be same as the effective UID of logged in user, which in my setup is vmail(121). Also, maybe the (null)Fatal -message could be improved(?). # dovecot -n # 2.0.13 (3d07ab746a67): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 i686 Debian squeeze/sid ext3 auth_debug = yes auth_verbose = yes debug_log_path = /var/log/dovecot/debug.log first_valid_gid = 123 first_valid_uid = 121 info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot/info.log last_valid_gid = 123 last_valid_uid = 121 lda_mailbox_autocreate = yes lda_mailbox_autosubscribe = yes lmtp_save_to_detail_mailbox = yes log_path = /var/log/dovecot/dovecot.log mail_debug = yes mail_location = maildir:/home/vmail/%n/Maildir managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = separator = / type = private } passdb { driver = pam } plugin { sieve = /home/vmail/%n/dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = /home/vmail/%n/sieve sieve_extensions = +enotify +subaddress +vacation } protocols = " imap lmtp sieve" rejection_reason = Your message to <%t> was rejected: %r rejection_subject = Mail delivery failed: returning message to sender service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { group = vmail mode = 0660 } } service imap { executable = imap postlogin } service postlogin { executable = script-login rawlog user = vmail } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { args = uid=121 gid=123 driver = passwd } userdb { args = uid=121 gid=123 allow_all_users=yes home=/home/vmail/%n driver = static } protocol lda { info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot/lda-info.log log_path = /var/log/dovecot/lda.log mail_plugins = sieve } -- Mikko

Maybe you got NAT forwarding going on where a firewall or other network appliance (like a load balancer) is translating ip1/143 -> ip2/143? Or you're not on the host you think you're on. You can check the dovecot logs to verify that in fact your client is connecting. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

[Dovecot] Virtual Servers
by Daniel L. Miller 29 Jun '11

29 Jun '11

Maybe a little off-topic - but I hope not too much. Looking for some insight on setting up Dovecot under a virtual server. In particular, I use VirtualBox - and at the moment, Ubuntu Linux. Initial questions on configuration: Caching. It seems to me - and I'm probably wrong - that running a Linux in a VM on a Linux host, there would be a duplication of caching. That is, the host server has a file cache - and the VM, which is otherwise a standard Linux installation, is also going to try to cache its files. This strikes me as a duplication of effort and waste of RAM. Is this something I should devote any time to thinking about and trying to minimize? If so, how? Mail storage. My current mail store is a RAID-10, using the mdbox format. I wish to continue storing the mail on "raw" disks - not place the mail inside a virtual disk. Accordingly, the VM needs to reach the mail outside the VM environment - which according to conventional wisdom means NFS. My initial testing shows NFS results in a dramatically reduced performance for Dovecot. Given that this NFS access is going to be exclusively for Dovecot, and I'm only running a single server, are there any NFS or Dovecot tweaks I should implement? Is there an alternative connectivity for the VirtualBox environment I should explore? -- Daniel

[Dovecot] [Urgent] Email Retrieval from remote servers doesn't use Dovecot

------------------------ Dovecot Version: ------------------------ 2.0.13 ------------------------ Output of "dovecot -n": ------------------------ # 2.0.13: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.35-28-generic x86_64 Ubuntu 10.10 ext4 mail_location = maildir:/home/%u/Maildir passdb { args = %s driver = pam } protocols = imap pop3 ssl = no userdb { driver = passwd } protocol imap { imap_client_workarounds = tb-extra-mailbox-sep } protocol pop3 { pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv } --------------------------- Objective: --------------------------- We need to download emails from remote server using Dovecot and thunderbird. Our objective is to store emails in maildir or mbox format, and process them as part of our research project. --------------------------- Problem: --------------------------- Dovecot works for localhost, but not for remote servers. How do I know? Because thunderbird downloads emails in its default location (specified in settings) and not in maildir or mbox folders. If I send mail to <user>@<system_name> using mail command, dovecot works and thunderbird shows the email stored in maildir folder. But for email from <id>@yahoo.com goes to thunderbird's default folder and are browsed from there. --------------------------- Relevant Technical Details: --------------------------- ps auxw|grep "dovecot\|imap\|pop3" root 1033 0.0 0.0 52796 1916 ?

[Dovecot] LDAP timeout
by Bernhard Schmidt 29 Jun '11

29 Jun '11

Hi, we recently hit an issue where one (of the three configured) LDAP servers dropped an index on an attribute due to a misconfiguration, which caused all/most queries for passdb to take a very long time (several 10s of seconds). The other servers would have been fine, but it seems like Dovecot does either not set a timelimit on the query or uses a very high one. I could not find any place to control that either. Is there any knob to tune the LDAP timeout? Bernhard

[Dovecot] Dovecot 1.2.16 -> Dovecot 2.0.13 Performance?
by Jorgen Lundman 29 Jun '11

29 Jun '11

Hello list, Currently running dovecot-1.2.16 as pop, imap, and deliver (with sieve). All on Solaris 10u9, on NFSv4 backends. All is working great. But occasionally, the system gets rather loaded, not entirely sure what part yet, but as part of researching that; If we were to start the upgrade path to dovecot 2.0.13, are there any known areas of performance increase which should encourage us to do this? Since we have a stable system, there is hesitation in changing any part of it :) Each NFS server hosts about 92,381 mailboxes, LDAP as authentication and ZFS user quotas. What sort of numbers do others manage generally?

[Dovecot] Sendmail + dovecot-lda + LDAP
by Василий Яковлев 28 Jun '11

28 Jun '11

Hi, I experince some problems with setting up Sendmail with the LDAP database for virtual mail accounts. Why i'm not writing to the LDAP mailing list? I believe, that the reason of my problem is in configuring dovecot-deliver. What i have: - FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE - sendmail (Version 8.14.4 with LDAP support installed from ports) - Dovecot LDA + dovecot (as pop3/imap) - 1.2.16 - Cyrus Sasl (authdaemon for authentification) 1. Following http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sendmail i've set up deliver as LDA. Everything worked fine. 2. Following http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/DovecotOpenLdap i've set up Dovecot to work with tha ldap. Now i can authorize through the client or web interface and get to my maildir. 3. Now, i want my sendmail to accept mail for the account in LDAP database. sendmail.mc: ++++++++++++++++++++++ FEATURE(`local_procmail', `/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver',`/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d $u') MODIFY_MAILER_FLAGS(`LOCAL', `-f') ...................................... define(`confLDAP_DEFAULT_SPEC', `-h "localhost" -b "dc=mydomain,dc=ru" -d "cn=dovecot,ou=accounts,dc=mydomain,dc=ru" -MLDAP_AUTH_SIMPLE -P /etc/mail/ldap_pass')dnl LDAPROUTE_DOMAIN(`mydomain.ru')dnl FEATURE(`ldap_routing', `null -T<TMPF>', `ldap -1 -T<TMPF> -v mail -k (&(objectclass=posixaccount)(mail=%0))', `passthru')dnl ......................................

Because after sendmail getting an email it passes it to the LDA, which must check the LDAP (not the passwd!) database for the user, to which this email is send to.

I appreciate any help... ----------------------- Best regards, Vasily Yakovlev ----------------------------------------------------------------------

[Dovecot] ACLs: Group ACL adds empty ACL for user of same name, why?
by Jim Hague 28 Jun '11

28 Jun '11

I'm playing around with ACLs, Groups and SOGo on Debian Stable, Dovecot 1.2.15. If I set an ACL for a group 'developers': 6 setacl "INBOX.Trash" "$developers" "lrsw" 6 OK Setacl complete. The dovecot-acl file for INBOX.Trash then contains a group setting for the group, and a user setting for a user of the same name, giving it no permissions. group=developers lrws user=developers and a subsequent GETACL reports the user: 5 getacl "INBOX.Trash" * ACL "INBOX.Trash" "$developers" lrws "developers" "" "jim" lrwstipekxacd 5 OK Getacl completed. Currently SOGo does not deal well with the unexpected non-existant user. So I'm curious - why's it there? -- Jim Hague - jim.hague(a)acm.org Never trust a computer you can't lift.

[Dovecot] Maildir parent directory permissions incorrect for new mailbox
by Dominic Marks 28 Jun '11

28 Jun '11

Hi, My issue is with the automatic creation of parent directories above new maildirs. It seems to be that they're being set with incorrect (or unhelpful) permissions, applying the permissions of the mailbox down the path towards the mailbox root, as opposed to taking the permissions of the mailbox root up towards the mailbox. Our mail is stored under the scheme: location = maildir:/var/dovecot/mail/%d/%n:INDEX=/var/dovecot/index/%d/%n Initially, /var/dovecot consists of acl, index and mail, all empty. The permissions on these are: >> ls -l total 6 drwxrwxr-x 2 hmgp hmgp 512 17 Jun 12:23 acl drwxrwxr-x 3 hmgp hmgp 512 17 Jun 15:56 index drwxrwxr-x 3 hmgp hmgp 512 17 Jun 15:56 mail If I perform a mail delivery to my mailbox, the mailbox parent directory is created with the following permissions: >> ls -l total 2 drwx------ 3 dm hmgp 512 17 Jun 15:56 insidetrading.co.uk Note that the user ID is my own and the mode restricts all other access. When I perform a second delivery to different mailbox under that domain, one mapped to a different UID, the delivery fails because that user cannot access the parent folder in order to create the new maildir. I've read on the Wiki that Dovecot copies permissions from the parent directory when adding new messages to a mailbox. That would suit my situation, but it doesn't happen here. Maybe there is there a reason why this is the case? I've had a look at the code and it it works in the opposite direction, starting from the full path (with its associated mode, uid & gid) and working by removing a section from the right-hand side each time. For me, at least, it would be better if it started from the bottom and worked upwards, inheriting the parent uid, gid and mode until the mailbox directory, where the existing behaviour would be retained, looking like: >> ls -dl insidetrading.co.uk/dm total 2 drwx------ 5 dm hmgp 512 17 Jun 15:56 dm I know I could hold all our mail under a single uid/gid or I could fix the mode manually, but I'd rather not do either.

[Dovecot] UIDL and message migration
by Hugo Monteiro 28 Jun '11

28 Jun '11

Hello, I'm in the process of migrating accounts between two dovecot servers. An old server running ancient 1.0.15 and a new server running 1.2.15. Account migration is going to be gradual and so i would like to use imapsync to move messages and subscriptions from one server to the other. The only problem so far is with POP users. After doing an account migration with imapsync, and although both servers share the same pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv, the client downloads every message that was already on the server. Any pointers would be very much appreciated. Best Regards, Hugo Monteiro.

[Dovecot] problem with dovecot and sieve
by Javier 28 Jun '11

28 Jun '11

Hi We've been using dovecot with great success so far. We are trying to add sieve support for our users. We enabled managesieve and users can define rules from the webmail (roundcube) with sieverules plugin for roundcube. Everything goes ok, but here's a problem I couldn't figure yet. When I define a redirect rule, the mail is forwarded but a local copy is stored too. Weird thing is that the logs say redirecting failed but the mail gets forwarded. Let me show you some of this (personal data masked): # cat .dovecot.sieve ## Generated by Roundcube Webmail SieveRules Plugin ## # rule:[teste] if anyof (true) { redirect "xxxxx@xxxxxxxxx"; } And the log from the user's sieve log sieve: info: started log at Jun 15 18:05:49. error: msgid=<BANLkTik1OzJEreF0qW000OvFpkaR7nOhCQ(a)mail.gmail.com>: failed to redirect message to <xxxxxx@xxxxxxx> (refer to server log for more information). syslog: Jun 16 11:40:26 mailstore5 dovecot: lmtp(8458, xxxxxxx(a)xxxxxx.com) Error: /eMhMNoV+k0KIQAAmtbU9A: sieve: execution of script /var/maildir++/99/xxxxxx(a)xxxxxxxx/.dovecot.sieve failed, but implicit keep was successful (user logfile /var/maildir++/99/xxxxxx(a)xxxxx.com/.dovecot.sieve.log may reveal additional details) And gets redirected anyway Jun 16 11:40:26 mailstore5 postfix/smtp[13041]: CB4D1C79FE: to=<xxxx@xxxxxxx>, delay=0.12, delays=0.02/0/0.01/0.08, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as E24FAB0880) There's no explicit keep anywhere in the sieve rule, nor a global rule, so Im confused, the email should be forwarded only. The error message confuses me too, as it says failed but the mail gets through. dovecot -n # 2.0.9: /opt/mail/dovecot/etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.36.2 x86_64 Debian 5.0.8 auth_mechanisms = plain login base_dir = /opt/mail/dovecot/var disable_plaintext_auth = no listen = * mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir mail_plugins = create_mbox quota managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include varia passdb { args = socket=/opt/mail/auth_server/var/socket timeout=10 driver = courier } plugin { quota = maildir:User quota quota_rule = Trash:ignore quota_rule2 = Spam:ignore sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve } protocols = imap pop3 lmtp sieve service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 30143 ssl = no } } service lmtp { inet_listener lmtp { address = 0.0.0.0 port = 30024 } process_min_avail = 4 } service pop3-login { inet_listener pop3 { port = 30110 } } ssl = no ssl_parameters_regenerate = 0 userdb { args = socket=/opt/mail/auth_server/var/socket timeout=10 driver = courier } protocol pop3 { mail_plugins = create_mbox quota maildiraccess pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh pop3_reuse_xuidl = no pop3_save_uidl = no pop3_uidl_format = %f } protocol imap { mail_plugins = create_mbox quota imap_quota maildiraccess } protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = create_mbox quota sieve } protocol sieve { mail_debug = yes } Your help is appreciated.

[Dovecot] Thunderbird or Dovecot causing duplicates
by Tim 28 Jun '11

28 Jun '11

Hey everyone, back on the list after a few years away. I have a strange issue that is just annoying. Trying to work out if it's Dovecot or Thunderbird causing the problem. Basically, I read an email (so it gets marked as read) and then very quickly I mark is as unread, (i.e. I realised I want to leave that email for later) which causes a duplicate email to be created. Generally I believe both duplicates are then marked as unread, but I've not taken too much notice of that part yet, other than the new email (the duplicate) being marked as unread. This has also happened when deleting emails from a junk folder. It seems to be events happening quickly that ether Thunderbird or Dovecot don't keep up with, so think the state of the message hasn't changed, so recreate the message maybe? I'm not really sure, so was hoping someone else had experienced the issue or could shed some light on it. Thanks Tim The logs from when I managed to recreate this manually this morning as a test.

[Dovecot] %d empty string
by Ryan Dotson 28 Jun '11

28 Jun '11

I am trying to upgrade from dovecot 1.x to Dovecot 2.0.13 on Fedora. My problem is the mail_location setting seems to ignore the %d variable. My my location is as follows: mail_location = maildir:/var/spool/virtual_mail/%d/%u/Maildir However, when trying to log in the maillog says it can't find /var/spool/virtual_mail//*myusername*/Maildir/cur. As you can see it just uses an empty string for the %d variable. Can anyone help? Thanks, Ryan

[Dovecot] Default sendmail_path value
by Joseph Tam 28 Jun '11

28 Jun '11

It appears the documentation of this parameter is inconsistent with the documentation: > grep -nF /sendmail `gfind src -type f` src/lib-lda/lda-settings.c:41: .sendmail_path = "/usr/sbin/sendmail", src/config/all-settings.c:732: .sendmail_path = "/usr/sbin/sendmail", (and doc/example-config/conf.d/15-lda.conf is also consistent with this) but the documentations states http://wiki2.dovecot.org/LDA sendmail_path is used to send mails. Note that the default is /usr/lib/sendmail, which doesn't necessarily work the same as /usr/sbin/sendmail. I don't know which ought to be changed though. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

[Dovecot] Help regarding getting password policy response
by sarguru 28 Jun '11

28 Jun '11

Hello, I have enabled ldap password policy in my open ldap server and it locks out the account after several unsuccessful bind attempts. I am able to get the password policy response which says "Account locked" by specifying '-e ppolicy' option in my ldapsearch command. I am looking for a way to get similar response when I use dovecot so that I can specify my clients that their account is locked. I understand the security risks involved but mine is low security and high usability requirement. Please share the solution with me. -- Thanks, Sarguru

[Dovecot] Extra plugins vía extrafield in ldap
by Antonio Perez-Aranda 28 Jun '11

Hi all, I'm using dovecot 2.0.9 and I have a config like this: dovecot.conf: passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/conf.d/passwd-ldap.conf driver = ldap } mail_plugins = $mail_plugins quota plugin { autocreate = INBOX.SPAM autocreate2 = INBOX.NoSPAM autosubscribe = INBOX.SPAM autosubscribe2 = INBOX.NoSPAM quota = maildir } protocol imap { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins imap_quota autocreate } And in passwd-ldap.conf I have some like this to add extra plugins: user_attrs = homeDirectory=home,uid=user,mailQuota=quota_rule=*:bytes=%$,mailPlugins=mail_plugins With this. I can see that dovecot load all plugins from settings, but in the user session, I can get only the plugins that I have selected in mailPlugins field If i check some like this: mailPlugins=mail_plugins=$mail_plugins %$, The imap session user is aborted after login. How can I add extra plugins by ldap without put on ldap all user plugins? -- Antonio Pérez-Aranda Alcaide aperezaranda(a)yaco.es Yaco Sistemas S.L. http://www.yaco.es/ C/ Rioja 5, 41001 Sevilla Teléfono +34 954 50 00 57 Fax +34 954 50 09 29

[Dovecot] dovecot security with IPv6
by Kārlis Repsons 27 Jun '11

27 Jun '11

Hi Timo, hi all others! In fact, I've only read one person claiming that IPv6 support opens up "too many backdoors" [1], but anyway, as I intend to run just particular services, please give me your opinion if it's insecure to have a dovecot server, which is accessed through a public IPv6 address... (or note just shortly what else could give a firm ground to such claims...) [1] http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-882557.html

[Dovecot] Sendmail + dovecot-lda + LDAP
by Василий Яковлев 27 Jun '11

27 Jun '11

Hi, I experince some problems with setting up Sendmail with the LDAP database for virtual mail accounts. Why i'm not writing to the LDAP mailing list? I believe, that the reason of my problem is in configuring dovecot-deliver. What i have: - FreeBSD - sendmail (Version 8.14.4 with LDAP support installed from ports) - Dovecot LDA + dovecot (as pop3/imap) - Cyrus Sasl (authdaemon for authentification) 1. Following http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sendmail i've set up deliver as LDA. Everything worked fine. 2. Following http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/DovecotOpenLdap i've set up Dovecot to work with tha ldap. Now i can authorize through the client or web interface and get to my maildir. 3. Now, i want my sendmail to accept mail for the account in LDAP database. sendmail.mc: ++++++++++++++++++++++ FEATURE(`local_procmail', `/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver',`/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d $u') MODIFY_MAILER_FLAGS(`LOCAL', `-f') ...................................... define(`confLDAP_DEFAULT_SPEC', `-h "localhost" -b "dc=mydomain,dc=ru" -d "cn=dovecot,ou=accounts,dc=mydomain,dc=ru" -MLDAP_AUTH_SIMPLE -P /etc/mail/ldap_pass')dnl LDAPROUTE_DOMAIN(`mydomain.ru')dnl FEATURE(`ldap_routing', `null -T<TMPF>', `ldap -1 -T<TMPF> -v mail -k (&(objectclass=posixaccount)(mail=%0))', `passthru')dnl ......................................

User unknown ++++++++++++++++++++++ It's the problem of the local delivery, i believe. Why? Because after sendmail getting an email it passes it to the LDA, which must check the LDAP (not the passwd!) database for the user, to which this email is send to. Are there some possibilities to solve this problem? I appreciate any help.

[Dovecot] dovecot global sieve script problem
by Dhaval Patel 27 Jun '11

27 Jun '11

I cutover to a new server which uses Postfix & Dovecot to handle emails as opposed to Postfix & Courier in the old server. Below is the contents of my global sieve script and dovecot config info. The dovecot-deliver.log does show that the email is being delivered to INBOX.spam but it ends up in the INBOX instead. If I put the exact same rule in the user script, the emails are delivered into the INBOX.spam folder. Currently as a work around, I created user rules for all users and add this. For most users, it is the only rule. So my question is, why does it not work with the global script? Any help would be appreciated.

[Dovecot] Please help with Quota dict mysql configuration
by Denis Iskandarov 24 Jun '11

24 Jun '11

Hello So what i have: centos 5.6 postfix 2.3.3 dovecot 2.0.13 postfixadmin 2.3.3 roundcube 0.5.3 All general things are working right now i can send receive email with ssl connections etc... Now i'm trying to configure additional options like quota and some other plugins like sieve, trash, expire and deleted-to-trash. Configuration of quota is on first place. I have read wiki regarding quota config , dict config but can't make things running. Hope there are normal sample configs you can share with me. I'm total noob in sql, so it's very difficult for me to arrange stuff in a way i need. My configs: dict { quota = mysql:/etc/dovecot/conf.d/sql/dovecot-dict-sql.conf # expire = sqlite:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf } dovecot-dict-sql.conf sample i took from postfixadmin docs provided with package, also changed table to quota2 as suggested for dovecot 2: driver = mysql connect = host=localhost dbname=postfix user=postfix password=postfixadmin default_pass_scheme = MD5-CRYPT table = quota2 select_field = current where_field = path username_field = username my sql.conf i took it from tutorial on your wiki : LDA postfix postfixadmin: driver = mysql connect = host=localhost dbname=postfix user=postfix password=postfixadmin user_query = SELECT concat('/home/vmail/', maildir) as home, concat('maildir:/home/vmail/', maildir) as mail, 1001 AS uid, 12 AS gid, concat('maildir:storage=', quota) AS quota FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active = '1' #user_query = SELECT maildir, 1001 AS uid, 1001 AS gid, CONCAT('dict:storage=',floor(quota/1000),' proxy::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, 1001 as userdb_uid, 12 as userdb_gid FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active = '1' The second user_query string i took from postfixadmin docs. But i dont know how to aply it. If it is better to use with mysql/postfixadmin and after this all i dont how to configure quota.conf (90-quota.conf): plugin { #quota = dirsize:User quota #quota = maildir:User quota #quota = dict:User quota::proxy::quota #quota = fs:User quota } # Multiple quota roots are also possible, for example this gives each user # their own 100MB quota and one shared 1GB quota within the domain: plugin { #quota = dict:user::proxy::quota #quota2 = dict:domain:%d:proxy::quota_domain #quota_rule = *:storage=102400 #quota2_rule = *:storage=1048576 } Please help me with configuration. I really stuck with this thing. And yes i've tried to find solutions on mailing list, but no luck. I want per domain/user quota in mysql. Also space usage to be shown in roundcube. Hope to get proper help ... And sorry... Thanks in advance.

[Dovecot] Panic: file mail-index-view.c: line 149
by e-frog 24 Jun '11

24 Jun '11

Hello Timo, Today I've moved one message from INBOX to a virtual folder which made imap processes crash as soon as INBOX was selected. Jun 24 17:24:50 server dovecot: imap(user(a)example.com): Panic: file mail-index-view.c: line 149 (view_lookup_full): assertion failed: (seq > 0 && seq <= mail_index_view_get_messages_count(view)) Removing mail_log plugin made it working again. Even after re-enabling mail_log plugin there are no crashes anymore. The full backtrace and doveconf -n output are attached. Thanks for your help! -e-frog

[Dovecot] Error with Dovecot LDA when using recipient address misses user part
by Nikolaos Milas 23 Jun '11

23 Jun '11

Hi, We are using Postfix 2.8.3 with Dovecot 2.0.13 on CentOS 5.6. The problem we have is that sometimes, due to mail sender's error when composing a message, the sender attempts to send an email to "@noa.gr" (without specifying the user part of the address). This results in a Postfix error due to Dovecot LDA use: Jun 22 21:05:31 vmail postfix/pipe[31862]: CC89FC4D210: to=<@noa.gr>, relay=dovecot, delay=0.41, delays=0.24/0.013/0/0.15, dsn=5.3.0, status=bounced (command line usage error. Command output: /usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda: option requires an argument -- d Usage: dovecot-lda [-c <config file>] [-a <address>] [-d <username>] [-p <path>] [-f <envelope sender>] [-m <mailbox>] [-e] [-k] ) Postfix master.cf is configured as: dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -f ${sender} -d ${user} Obviously this happens because in this case there is no ${user} data. My question is: Can we somehow configure things in a way so as to avoid this error when someone sends an email with blank sender data? Can Dovecot provide some meaningful message to postfix (like "No user specified") instead of failing with a "command line usage error"? Thanks, Nick

Can anyone explain what this numbers represent. Thank you Alex

[Dovecot] Mysql access denied
by list＠airstreamcomm.net 23 Jun '11

23 Jun '11

Currently using dovecot 2.0.12 and mysql server 4.0.20 (I know, it's really old) and having issues getting Dovecot to authenticate to the mysql server. We have confirmed that the credentials are correct and the host machine can access the database, however we are getting the following error: Jun 23 08:12:50 hostname dovecot: auth: Error: mysql(databaseserver.com): Connect failed to database (database): Access denied for user: 'sqladmin(a)ip.of.host.machine' (Using password: YES) - waiting for 1 seconds before retry We are assuming this has something to do with the password hashing algorithm in older versions of mysql, but we are hoping to confirm this theory and find a solution. Thanks.

[Dovecot] Custom Trash (etc) location
by fusionstream 23 Jun '11

23 Jun '11

Hi there. I have dovecot 1.2.17 installed on me system. I'd like to create a gmail-esque imap tree where all imap folders except for the inbox are in a subdirectory(?). More importantly, I'd like the email client (specifically thunderbird) to be able to recognise the folders and thusly give it a special trash/junk/etc icon which I presume also makes trash and junk go to, well the truash and junk folders automagically. Based on searching the web, I believe that namespaces are the solution. I believed that I had set it up to be 1) Inbox 2) IMAP - Drafts - Junk - Trash - etc However, when trying to use namespaces, I get IMAP.Drafts, IMAP.Junk and all the other folders also appearing in INBOX, in addition to another top-level IMAP.*. What am I doing wrong? If I understand the solutions posted on the web correctly, solving this (resulting in only one of each type of folder) should make thunderbird automagically recognise these "special folders". This is my configuration: # 1.2.17: /etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.18-238.12.1.el5 i686 CentOS release 5.6 (Final) ext3 ssl_ca_file: /etc/postfix/ssl/cacert.pem ssl_cert_file: /etc/postfix/ssl/smtpd.crt ssl_key_file: /etc/postfix/ssl/smtpd.key 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 first_valid_uid: *[removed]* last_valid_uid: *[removed]* first_valid_gid: *[removed]* last_valid_gid: *[removed]* mail_location: maildir:/var/spool/mail/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_plugins(default): autocreate mail_plugins(imap): autocreate mail_plugins(pop3): mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 imap_client_workarounds(default): outlook-idle delay-newmail imap_client_workarounds(imap): outlook-idle delay-newmail imap_client_workarounds(pop3): pop3_client_workarounds(default): pop3_client_workarounds(imap): pop3_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh namespace: type: private separator: . prefix: INBOX. inbox: yes list: yes subscriptions: yes namespace: type: private separator: . prefix: IMAP. list: yes subscriptions: yes lda: postmaster_address: postmaster(a)example.com auth default: mechanisms: plain login user: dovecot-auth passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/mysql.conf userdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/mysql.conf socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 509 user: postfix group: postfix plugin: autocreate: IMAP.Trash autocreate2: IMAP.Spam autocreate3: IMAP.Sent Mail autocreate4: IMAP.Drafts autosubscribe: IMAP.Trash autosubscribe2: IMAP.Spam autosubscribe3: IMAP.Sent Mail autosubscribe4: IMAP.Drafts Any help appreciated.

[Dovecot] Change passwd backend over cron: what happens if changes while reading?
by Denny Schierz 22 Jun '11

22 Jun '11

hi, I want to use two backends für DoveCot. One generated file from the LDAP tree, and the real LDAP. The first backend is generated from a cronjob thats reads the whole ldap server and converts them into a DoveCot passwd file. I red in the Wiki, if the user password isn't correct, than DoveCot asks the second backend (LDAP). Is this correct? Because, the the user can change his password, but Cron generates only every hour the file. So the password in the passwd-file isn't correct, until Cron runs again. The second, what happens, if Dovecot reads the file and in the same moment, Cron generate the new file? Does he change to the second backend? Or do I (the user) get an error? cu denny

[Dovecot] Performance settings for 500-1000User/per day
by Denny Schierz 22 Jun '11

22 Jun '11

hi, we have 2.0.13 running and most works well, but today we had some minor problems: The IMAP login process takes sometimes to much time. Over webmail (Roundcube 0.5.0.3) login wasn't sometimes possible, the normal clients hasn't any problems, until they login. We had only ~ 20-30 active accounts, but 50-60 sessions. The most are Apple products (Ip*/Mac/. ..)because they have 4 sessions or more open. Also we had ~212 processes with: dovenull 2065 4364 0 14:50:32 ? 0:00 dovecot/imap-login vmail 2403 4364 0 14:58:31 ? 0:00 dovecot/imap So, maybe, it's a miss configuration ....
