[Dovecot] Re-downloading mails after migrate server
by Esther Yébenes --Conzentra-- 29 Apr '11

29 Apr '11

Hi all, first of all, I must say that I am pretty new to mailing lists, so please, if I do something wrong, just tell me. Now, my problem. I'm migrating a mail service from a temporal to a definitive server. Both servers have the same versions (Postfix, Dovecot -1.0.7, POP3 & IMAP services-, MySQL) and it all works perfectly. The only problem is with the users that store their mail on the server; on the testing, when I check if there is new mail, I download the mail stored on the new server once more. After that, it works correctly (no more unwanted downloads), but I need to avoid that first download. I have been investigating before writing to the list. I have checked that UIDL are the same on both servers, and the configuration is exactly the same except for the name of the server; I have seen in few places that it may be the cause for downloading thdovecote mail again, so I changed the name of the new server to the old's one, but it happened again. I know that lots of servers are migrated every day, and never heard about those problems, so I suppose it must be a solution for this, or maybe a better way to configure the servers. If you wanna take a look at the configuration of both servers, I have pasted them on here --> http://pastebin.ca/2051228 Please, let me now if you need any more information.

[Dovecot] [dovecot] Question about master user and PAM with dovecot 2.0.12
by Jonathan Siegle 29 Apr '11

29 Apr '11

Is it possible to allow master users to be authenticated against PAM? Something like: passdb { driver = pam #args = /etc/dovecot/passwd.masterusers master = yes #pass = yes } and then have a userdb which qualifies what accounts are master accounts but doesn't have passwords? Thanks, Jonathan

Re: [Dovecot] Dovecot Folder Creation Problem
by Ceyhun Ganioglu 29 Apr '11

29 Apr '11

Hi Robert, Many thanks for your reply. I realized that the title of my email was not explaining my exact problem. My problem is not the creation of the folders. I am happy with the folders created by RoundCube. I am confused why Outlook can't write to the Sent Items folder. Logically Outlook, TB or any other email client must have permission to write the sent mails to the chosen sent mail folder on an IMAP server without any problems. Am I wrong?

[Dovecot] how to limit size of dovecot.log
by Aaron C Johnson 29 Apr '11

29 Apr '11

I've done some searching and maybe I'm missing something... I have a remote dovecot and postfix server running on debian 5. I then have a local fetchmail server that retrieves email from the dovecot server via pop3s every 5 minutes. The problem is that the /var/log/dovecot.log file has grown to be over 1.1GiB over a period of less than 1 year. Is there a way to limit the size of the dovecot.log file, or do I have to run a monthly cron job or something to take care of it for me? Thank you, Aaron Johnson

Hi all I want to move mails from folder test-ein to another folder test-aus with the new "doveadm move" command in dovecot 2.0.12.

[Dovecot] What is the recommended way to move a message from one mailbox to another using CLI
by Uffe Jakobsen 27 Apr '11

27 Apr '11

What is the recommended way to move a message from one mailbox to another using CLI - serverside commands ? Since IMAP does not support transactional moves between mailboxes - The only thing that comes to my mind is this operation: 1) extract message from mailbox A using "doveadm fetch" 2) inject message into mailbox B using "dovecot-lda" 3) expunge message from mailbox A using "doveadm expunge" it this the right solution ? One problem with above approach is that injecting through "dovecot-lda" will trigger the sieve script - which I'm not interested in since the message have already been injected and processed once before - at delivery... Any advice is much welcome -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/What-is-the-recommended-way-to-move-a-message-from-on… Sent from the Dovecot mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Dovecot] What is the recommended way to delete a message from a mailbox ?
by Uffe Jakobsen 27 Apr '11

27 Apr '11

Hi, I'm implementing a shell-script (pseudo) solution to the missing IMAP Outbox feature in Dovecot (Courier IMAP feature http://www.inter7.com/courierimap/INSTALL.html#imapsend) In order to remove the message from the Outbox once it is sent I have a question: What is the recommended way to delete a message from a mailbox (from an "external" server side program - such as a shell script) ? Can I just remove the file from the mailbox - I cannot seem to find any doveadm commands that does this task. I guess that Dovecot over time will discover that the atime and mtime of its indexes and maps does not reflect reality - or is there another (better) way to delete a message.

Robert Schetterer <robert(a)schetterer.org> writes: >> Anyway, why use lmtp over lda ? > > i.e avoid backscatter by overquota A clarification on this: backscatter (or rather, ambiguous NDR notices that claim many users are over quota rather than just one) is a result of a local mailer that support multiple recipient delivery in one invocation, but can only return one result code to the MTA. Since Dovecot's deliver-lda does not support multiple recipient delivery, this is not a problem. LMTP can support multiple deliveries of the same message per invocation, but replies with individual SMTP codes to avoid the above problem. It can take advantage of this to efficiently implement single instance storage if it is enabled. > performance should better too Apart from multiple deliveries or SIS, I'm not sure this is true, or significant if it were.

Multiple mirrors (seems like you have plenty of offers) preferrably is multi geographical regions, using DNS round robin with TTL 0 on www and ftp , I wouldnt bother with the wiki mirroring though.

Murray Collingwood put forth on 4/20/2011 8:29 PM: > Hi Stan > > I only have the one account on this server, everything else is relayed > elsewhere. If this is an SMTP relay server, I'm surprised you bothered to install an IMAP server at all. It would have been easier to simply alias postmaster@ to another account on another machine where you do store mailboxes. I.e. simply 'forward' all postmaster mail to you main account and use Sieve to sort all postmaster mail into a folder. This is exactly what I do. It's what a lot of people do, especially those handling many domains, and thus having lots of postmaster addresses. > A question about where the mail is actually supposed to be delivered to... > initially I configured Exim4 to delivery the email to ~/Maildir and I > noticed as you saw in the list directories like ~/Maildir/new and > ~/Maildir/cur, however once I configured Evolution to login to Dovecot I > noticed the directories ~/Maildir/INBOX/new and ~Maildir/INBOX/cur were > created. Should therefore Exim4 be configured to ~/Maildir/INBOX instead of > just ~/Maildir ? Configuration of maildir can be a little confusing the first time around. Given your situation/server, I'm really surprised you didn't use mbox instead. It fits this scenario much better than maildir. > Voila!

Setting up Dovecot LDA with EXIM: http://wiki1.dovecot.org/LDA/Exim You're probably using procmail or maildrop currently. I don't use either of these, so I'm unfamiliar with their setup WRT maildir. Should be pretty straightforward though. > RoundCube still isn't working but I'm not going to worry about that - > Evolution will be cool. Need more details to help with RC. As long as you can establish an IMAP connection to Dovecot, RC is pretty smart about figuring out where everything is even if you don't explicitly tell it. > Thanks for your help - simply confirming one setting helps. Heh, I didn't do much, but you're welcome. Are you planning on migrating all the mailboxes from the old server to this new one? -- Stan

[Dovecot] Having trouble getting Dovecot to read a ~/Maildir configuration
by Murray Collingwood 26 Apr '11

26 Apr '11

Hi folks Setting up a new server, hence a few software packages have been upgraded / changed. On my old server (only 2 years old) I was using Dovecot and RoundCube (web mail app) and had a good experience so was keen to use these again. The only major change is I have switched from sendmail to exim4 (which was installed by default on this Debian server). Exim4 appears to be doing the right thing, however read on and see if you can spot the error. I've tried two email clients, RoundCube (via apache) as a local connection and Evolution as a remote connection. Both appear to login to the Dovecot IMAP connection okay (log entries included further down), although they don't see any email. The INBOX is completely empty. Although when I check out /home/postmaster/Maildir/new it has many messages waiting to be read. It's like Exim4 is delivering the email into the ~/Maildir folder but Dovecot is not seeing it.... I've tried these three combinations in dovecot.conf but they give the same result: #mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir (ie this one I commented the line out to see if Dovecot would work it out automatically) mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir (I think this one should work) mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir:LAYOUT=fs (Now I'm just desperate and will try anything) The dovecot log gives no indication of any errors: This is the version I am running - it was the default version for Debian installed via apt-get: 2011-04-21 08:55:22 dovecot: Info: Dovecot v1.2.15 starting up (core dumps disabled) This connection is using Evolution email client on Linux: 2011-04-21 08:40:05 imap-login: Info: Login: user=<postmaster>, method=PLAIN, rip=122.148.149.28, lip=202.125.41.111 This connection is using roundcube via apache on the same server: 2011-04-21 08:40:41 imap-login: Info: Login: user=<postmaster>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured 2011-04-21 08:40:41 IMAP(postmaster): Info: Disconnected: Logged out bytes=39/443 And finally a look at the ~/Maildir content for my "postmaster" user: root@ds5683:/etc/dovecot# ls -al /home/postmaster/Maildir total 148 drwx------ 6 postmaster postmaster 4096 Apr 21 08:55 . drwxr-xr-x 3 postmaster postmaster 4096 Apr 19 08:12 .. drwx------ 2 postmaster postmaster 12288 Apr 21 08:40 cur -rw------- 1 postmaster postmaster 89088 Apr 21 08:40 dovecot.index.cache -rw------- 1 postmaster postmaster 2376 Apr 21 08:40 dovecot.index.log -rw------- 1 postmaster postmaster 5208 Apr 21 08:40 dovecot-uidlist -rw------- 1 postmaster postmaster 8 Apr 21 08:55 dovecot-uidvalidity -rw------- 1 postmaster postmaster 0 Apr 21 08:34 dovecot-uidvalidity.4daf5f73 drwx------ 5 postmaster postmaster 4096 Apr 21 08:56 INBOX drwx------ 2 postmaster postmaster 12288 Apr 21 09:39 new drwx------ 2 postmaster postmaster 4096 Apr 21 09:39 tmp So, can somebody help me get Dovecot to recognise the messages in this mailbox please? You can suggest anything you like.... upgrades, conf changes, low level formating of HDD... at this stage I'm ready to try anything!

For example: Imap folder structure: folder Flights, subfolder Lufthansa If the delimiter is . the ls a command should result: .Flights .Flights.Lufthansa If delimiter is / Flights Flights/Lufthansa I tried several delimiters but only the . Works.

[Dovecot] sieve & plus addressing
by Jerry 22 Apr '11

22 Apr '11

Assume and e-mail address of: me+dovecot(a)domain.com I have a sieve script that sorts mail into the appropriate folders using "+" addressing. I want to extend it to also work with mailing list like this one. A post from the dovecot forum arrives with a Delivered-To: me+dovecot(a)domain.com when I receive it. The "To" is to dovecot. I cannot figure out a way to get sieve to filter on the "Delivered-To" portion rather than the "To" portion using plus addressing. There are several other names; i.e, john, joe, bill, nancy, etcetera that would have the plus suffix of (in this scenario anyway) dovecot. Filtering on each individual address would be a real PIA. I believe it is not supported though. EXAMPLE: This works fine when filtering on the "To" attribute: Assuming email address: me+dovecot(a)domain.com ## Plus Addressing if envelope :detail "To" "dovecot" {fileinto "Dovecot"; stop;} Unfortunately, I cannot substitute the "Delivered-To" attribute in place of the "To" one. I know and currently do sort based on the "List-ID" attribute; however, I have other reasons for wanting to sort only on the delivery address. Is there anyway to actually incorporate the plus addressing feature with the delivery address? -- Jerry ✌ Dovecot.user(a)seibercom.net Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.

[Dovecot] the right way to delete mailbox/user home

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear list, we are using dovecot with mdbox to provide mail services for a community of 1000 academic users. We have quite a big turnover of guest users, so we often have to deprovision the allocated resources, that is the mailboxes. Given that the users are virtual, and that the mdbox directory is located in the home directory of each virtual user (static userdb), is it ok to simply delete (rm -rf) the home directory to get rid of the mailbox? Could the delete, without say a dovecot reload, be harmful for dovecot processes and the like? thanks davide - -- Dott.

[Dovecot] Running mailfront under dovecot2.x service supervision
by Uffe Jakobsen 21 Apr '11

21 Apr '11

Hello, Hello, I'm trying to run mailfront SMTP (http://untroubled.org/mailfront/) under Dovecot 2.x process/service supervision My intention was to utilize the fact that dovecot2.x seems to have some kind of generic process/service supervision as well as builtin ssl support. But I cannot get the most simple generic service setup (without ssl) to work. Currently running dovecot 2.0.11 on FreeBSD 8.1 service smtp-auth { executable = /usr/local/bin/smtpfront-qmail inet_listener smtp-auth { port = 587 ssl = no } } I have added the above to dovecot.conf Once I start dovecot everything seems fine - no errors in the log But at the first attempt to telnet to localhost port 587 - I instantly get the indication of never ending forks in the dovecot log (see below) - neither do I get the SMTP prompt that I expected in my telnet session - it just hangs. Apr 19 10:05:34 smtp-auth: Error: mailfront[43539]: bytes in: 0 bytes out: 29 Apr 19 10:05:34 smtp-auth: Error: mailfront[43541]: bytes in: 0 bytes out: 29 Apr 19 10:05:34 smtp-auth: Error: mailfront[43543]: bytes in: 0 bytes out: 29 Apr 19 10:05:34 smtp-auth: Error: mailfront[43545]: bytes in: 0 bytes out: 29 Question is if I've misconfigured something or if it is impossible to utilize dovecot2.x this way ? PS: Now I know that I could use daemontools or such for this task - but I like the dovecot ssl handling and would like to end up by wrapping this smtp service inside same dovecot ssl that I use for IMAPS. Any feedback is more than welcome - I'm stuck Thanks in advance Uffe -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Running-mailfront-under-dovecot2.x-service-supervisio… Sent from the Dovecot mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Hello, I following the instrucions of: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Permissions When the user receive the first mail, dovecot create the directory structure always using mode 0700, if i change the permission of the user maildir all new mails arrived get the correct umask: dovecot: lmtp(24960, *): Debug: Namespace INBOX.: Using permissions from .../maildir: mode=0770 The problem is: I need to all accounts have the permission 0770. Tried to use the option: mail_access_groups but doesn't work at all when the first creation of the user path. "For example a simple way to set up shared mailbox access for all system users is to make all mail dirs/files 0770/0660 mode and owned by group "sharedmail" and then set mail_access_groups=sharedmail. Using more fine grained groups of course leaks less mail data in case there's a security hole in Dovecot" Is a bug? My dovecot version: doveconf -n # 2.0.12 (811a6d173bb2): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 x86_64 Debian 6.0.1 Access groups: mail_access_groups = _sysadms Thanks and sorry for bad english.

[Dovecot] Logging commands
by Luciano Mannucci 20 Apr '11

20 Apr '11

Hello all, is there a way to make dovecot log the commands it gets from its clients both in imap and pop3? I need to log when messages are deleted so I can tell to the customer when and from which IP address his/her mailbox was emptied. I'm trying to track down problems with M$ Windows Live Mail clients that seem to loose messages now and then. Luciano. -- /"\ /Via A.

[Dovecot] help with MYSQL and dovecot
by Littlefield, Tyler 20 Apr '11

20 Apr '11

Hello all: I understand I can't provide to much information; at the moment, I do not have dovecot installed. Here is the problem. I started out running saslauthd, but there appears to be a problem where memory isn't freed after someone fails to authenticate, which leads to a huge dos attack. I hit this problem a couple of times, and it looks like some poor lonely soul (or bot, as it may be) with no life decided to go after my server again today. I had previously tried to configure dovecot, but I have an odd mysql setup, so it was particularly dificult. I am leaving out of town tomorrow afternoon and will not have internet, so I want to make sure this is going to be running as it should be. Here is the info from the dovecot configuration file for mysql. It was giving an error about "username" when I tried to run this. If someone can't spot the problem from this, I will disable courier and reinstall dovecot tonight so I can get the exact error. userdb static { args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/home/vmail/%d/%n password_query = select email as user, password,\ home AS userdb_home, uid AS userdb_uid, gid AS userdb_gid \ from users where email = '%u' user_query = \ SELECT home AS userdb_home, uid AS userdb_uid, gid AS userdb_gid \ FROM users WHERE email = '%n'; } And here is the describe for both tables: mysql> describe users; +----------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +----------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | email | varchar(80) | NO | PRI | NULL | | | password | varchar(20) | NO | | NULL | | +----------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec) -- mysql> describe domains; +--------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +--------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | domain | varchar(50) | NO | PRI | NULL | | +--------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ 1 row in set (0.01 sec) Thanks, Ty

[Dovecot] LDAP Authentication with multiple independent domains
by Alex Cherniak 20 Apr '11

20 Apr '11

Is it possible to authenticate users against multiple independent AD domains? In my dovecot-ldap.conf I entered two hosts: hosts = host1 host 2 auth_bind_userdn = %d\%n ldap_version = 3 base = cn=users,dc=%d,dc=net auth_bind = yes but OpenLDAP seems to stop authentication as soon as the first host succeeds or fails. I also tried to configure trust between the two, but it didn't work either. Please help...

[Dovecot] Debug new emails?
by Beto Moreno 20 Apr '11

20 Apr '11

Hi guys. I would like to debug all the new emails arrive to the users mailbox, I have some issue with 1 users that claim that is losing some important emails. The issue that I are not logging to much info in dovecot, I had read the mail_log plugin wiki is not difficult to setup. I want to see went the users receive the new emails, because postfix have the log that say" "sent" from the envelop to the issue user, but I the user say that he didn't receive the email, check his emails and is true I didn't see those 2 emails that postfix send to the user mailbox. I check my spam server and is not blocking that envelop, the spam is not causing this. I'm using Centos 5.4 Postfix 2.3.x Dovecot 1.0.x,but reading mail_log plugin say that we need 1.2.x, can I still use this plugin or I have other options? Thanks!!!

[Dovecot] expire-tool skipping mailbox
by Alex Reinhart 20 Apr '11

20 Apr '11

Hello, I have dovecot set up with expire-tool to nuke Junk messages greater than 30 days old. On a server with many user accounts, it seems to work on most of them. However, on my user account, expire-tool skips my Junk folder entirely, despite it containing messages from January of this year. Here is the expire-tool --test output: Info: alex(a)scienceforums.net/Junk: timestamp 1284027481 (Thu Sep 9 05:18:01 2010) -> 1304023056 (Thu Apr 28 15:37:36 2011) Then it skips to the next mailbox. (Note that I intentionally set the timestamp back to force it to consider my mailbox.) I don't understand why it doesn't want to expunge my 2700 junk messages when it will expunge several thousand in other accounts happily. The expire plugin has been enabled for probably over a year, so all of the messages should be tracked. My only hypothesis is that it has something to do with variables in the mail_location; however, mail_location should be overridden by a user_query, though that contains variables too. Would this account for the issue? It seems unlikely, since other users on the server work just fine. dovecot -n output for the interested: # 1.2.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-24-server x86_64 Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS ext3 base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/ log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: managesieve imaps pop3s listen(default): *:143 listen(imap): *:143 listen(pop3): *:110 listen(managesieve): * ssl_listen(default): *:993 ssl_listen(imap): *:993 ssl_listen(pop3): *:995 ssl_listen(managesieve): login_dir: /var/run/dovecot//login login_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-login login_executable(managesieve): /usr/lib/dovecot/managesieve-login first_valid_uid: 150 last_valid_uid: 150 mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%u mbox_write_locks: fcntl dotlock mail_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 mail_executable(managesieve): /usr/lib/dovecot/managesieve mail_plugins(default): quota imap_quota expire mail_plugins(imap): quota imap_quota expire mail_plugins(pop3): quota expire mail_plugins(managesieve): mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(managesieve): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/managesieve lda: mail_plugins: quota sieve expire postmaster_address: postmaster(a)xyloid.org sendmail_path: /usr/lib/sendmail auth_socket_path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master sieve_global_path: /etc/dovecot/sieve.global auth default: user: nobody passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 432 user: vmail group: mail plugin: quota: dict:user::proxy::quotadict quota_rule: *:storage=1G quota_rule2: Trash:storage=10%% quota_rule3: Junk:ignore sieve: /var/vmail/%d/%n/dovecot.sieve expire: Trash 7 Trash/* 7 Junk 30 expire_dict: proxy::expire dict: quotadict: mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-quota.conf expire: mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-expire.conf And dovecot-dict-expire.conf: connect = host=localhost dbname=mail user=mail password=[password] map { pattern = shared/expire/$user/$mailbox table = expires value_field = expire_stamp fields { username = $user mailbox = $mailbox } } Thanks. - Alex Reinhart

Do the Outlook workarounds in Dovecot 1.x still apply to current versions of Outlook? Or has Microsoft fixed Outlook such that workarounds are no longer needed in Dovecot (and if so, after what version of Outlook can I remove the workaround settings in my dovecot.conf file)?

I've got things working now so that I can build applications with the openssl built by Sun to tap into the cryptographic accelerators on the T2. It turns out that the /opt/coolstack stuff related to openssl is actually symlinks to /usr/sfw. So, in the Makefile, if I set the openssl directory to /usr/sfw, rather than the default /usr/local/openssl, it finds the includes, the libraries, and the binaries that are needed. Then I specifically point the certs directory (in the Makefile) to /usr/local/openssl/certs for local control. Then, for the example of uw-imap, everything builds just fine. This should simply apply to anything we need to build with openssl on any of the T5220s. One side note is that this was a custom Makefile. Applications that use ./configure would presumably find the openssl through the paths provided in /usr/local/src/env. In the process of figuring that out, I also found that one of the most recent Solaris 10 kernel patches that we have on imladris specifically addresses awareness of the crypto accelerators and included patches to the openssl related items in /usr/sfw. So, I'm pretty confident that everything is alright. It's interesting too that in the paper presented at ACM by Sun last year they said that a couple of classes of attacks on crypto processes were negated by running it directly on the CPU. One of them had to do with timing. I should forward that paper to you as well. OK, just attached it. -- --------------- Chris Hoogendyk - O__ ---- Systems Administrator c/ /'_ --- Biology& Geology Departments (*) \(*) -- 140 Morrill Science Center ~~~~~~~~~~ - University of Massachusetts, Amherst <hoogendyk(a)bio.umass.edu> --------------- Erdös 4

[Dovecot] Post-login script with LDAP virtual users
by Hideo GOTO 16 Apr '11

16 Apr '11

Dear sirs, I'm working on Post-login script for migrating 40K Courier-imap users to Dovecot. After reading related topics about post-login script in your documentation, mailing list, I cannot remove the problem described here-below. Is there any special config to add when users are virtual (authentication and user info is fed by LDAP server). I would be grad if anyone could give me advise. Phenomena: ========== Although the authentication and script execution is successfully done, Pop3 session is aborted just after that, leaving the following error message to syslog: /var/log/maillog: Feb 7 17:45:58 pop3migr dovecot: pop3(vuser1): Post-login script denied access to user vuser1 cf. "vuser1" is UID of a virtual account on the LDAP tree. Maildir is located at /var/spool/postfixdata/%u/Maildir, and is owned by linux local user "mailuser". Dovecot works perfect ,if post-login script configuration is commented out.

All the pop3 users are virtual and does not have local login account ('authentication and user information is given by LDAP server). SMTP service is managed by Postfix: ( A single local login account is writing all mails to Maildir for all the virtual users. ) Thanks in advance.

[Dovecot] How to purge mailboxes manually [dovecot_1.2.15]
by Emilio Nacelle 15 Apr '11

15 Apr '11

Hi, we have a linux network at the office. Mainly ubuntu and debian systems. Each user has it's own mail client, thunderbird, evolution, etc. In the mail server we use as the local delivery agent, dovecot 1.2.15 and the protocol imap. The users mailbox are in the server at /var/mail. Due to some kind of problem the mails that are set for delete in the mail client are not being deleted in the mailbox (if we check the mbox the mails are marked to be purged). Unless the owner uses something lowlevel shell mail client like pine to do the purge, the mails start to pile filling the account. Is this some known bug with a fix, or is there some routine we can run as admins to actually purged the mails set for deletion? (Like the "doveadm purge" in dovecot 2.0) Thanks a lot, looking forward to your answers, Emilio P.S: we would really like not having to install dovecot 2.0 :)

[Dovecot] Released Pigeonhole v0.2.3 for Dovecot v2.0.12
by Stephan Bosch 14 Apr '11

14 Apr '11

Hello Dovecot users, It's been a while since the last Pigeonhole release. This new release adds support for the new vacation-seconds extension, which allows the vacation extension to reply more frequently than every day and allows specifying this interval in seconds instead of days. I've also fixed quite a few bugs that were reported in the last couple of months. Changelog v0.2.3: * Sieve-filter tool: finished implementing basic functionality. It is not quite ready yet, but it is available for those willing to experiment with it (needs --with-unfinished-features config to compile). Also includes man page. + Vacation extension now inhibits replies to messages from sender listed in :addresses, thus preventing replies to one of the user's other known addresses. + Vacation extension: implemented the (draft) vacation-seconds extension. This also adds min/max period configuration settings. Refer to doc/vacation.txt for configuration information. - ManageSieve: fixed bug in UTF-8 checking of string values. This is done by discarding the original implementation and migrating to the Dovecot API's UTF-8 functionality. - Sieve command line tools now avoid initializing the mail store unless necessary. This prevents sievec and sieve-dump from failing when executed by root for example. - Enotify extension: fixed inappropriate return type in mailto URI parse function, also fixing ARM compiler warning. - Vacation extension: fixed handling of sendmail errors. It produced an additional confusing success message in case of error. - Removed header MIME-decoding to fix erroneous address parsing. Applies to address test and vacation command. - Fixed segfault bug in extension configuration, triggered when unknown extension is mentioned in sieve_extensions setting. The release is available as follows: http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/2.0/dovecot-2.0-pigeonhole-0.2.3.tar.gz http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/2.0/dovecot-2.0-pigeonhole-0.2.3.tar.gz.sig Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.0 wiki for more information. Have fun testing this new release and don't hesitate to notify me when there are any problems. Regards, -- Stephan Bosch stephan(a)rename-it.nl
