The pointer on the v1 wiki pointed to a non-existent page http://wiki2.dovecot.org/ is for version >= 2.0 many configs are completly different in v2 http://wiki.dovecot.org/ This documentation is for Dovecot v1.x, see wiki2 for v2.0 documentation

[Dovecot] Archiving mail
by Koenraad Lelong 18 Jul '13

18 Jul '13

Hi, I'm going to migrate my company-mailserver to new hardware. I would like to take the opportunity to archive some older mail. But I would like to have it still accessible, would this be possible with dovecot ? I mean, I would like to put that older mail from different users (I got about 50 users) on some read-only media but mount that media in the users mail-dirs. That way I will have less to backup after I backup that old mail and store it safely away. I can't convince my users to really clean up their mailboxes, so I backup more than 100GB mail while the total backup is a bit more than 300GB. Writing this I realise I could give each user a folder oldmail and symlink that to a read-only oldmail folder. Would this work ? I will have to find out how my backup-software can ignore the oldmail-folder. Thanks for any suggestions, Koenraad Lelong

[Dovecot] Password encryption type for dovecot & postfix saslauthd with mysql
by Simon 18 Jul '13

18 Jul '13

Hi There, We are using dovecot v2.2.4 (compiled from source) and postfix (yum install) on Centos 6.4. We are storing our virtual user config in mysql. Server 1 has dovecot/postfix and accepts incoming mail from our mail filter servers - this is purely for IMAP/POP services. Server 2 has postfix for our clients to send email via TLS/saslauthd. Both use the same (separate) mysql server for config. One issue is that we have a requirement to merge user / passwords for sending clients from two sources: 1) the dovecot mailbox list 2). another list. The dovecot user list is email + password. The other list is username + password. To that end we have created a view table in mysql that merges the two.. tables + view look a little like this: table: mail_users (for dovecot) email,password test(a)test1.com,CRAM-MD5_PASSWORD test2(a)test1.com,CRAM-MD5_PASSWORD bla(a)bla.com,CRAM-MD5_PASSWORD table: mail_senders_other username,password username1,CRAM-MD5_PASSWORD something_else,CRAM-MD5_PASSWORD view: mail_senders (for postfix) username,password test(a)test1.com,CRAM-MD5_PASSWORD test2(a)test1.com,CRAM-MD5_PASSWORD bla(a)bla.com,CRAM-MD5_PASSWORD username1,CRAM-MD5_PASSWORD something_else,CRAM-MD5_PASSWORD I have dovecot working fine, but just need a little push in the correct direction (please) to figure out the correct settings and password encryption scheme to make the above work. Many thanks! Simon

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.2.4 does not create home directory?
by Dmitry . 17 Jul '13

17 Jul '13

Hi, Does not create, or something I did wrong? Here http://wiki2.dovecot.org/VirtualUsers/Home it is written Home vs. mail directory Home directory shouldn't be the same as mail directory. It's possible to do that, but you might run into trouble with it sooner or later. Some problems with this are: and Ways to set up home directory The home directory is the same as the mail directory. If for example home=/var/vmail/domain/user/ mail=/var/vmail/domain/user/mail/, set: mail_home = /var/vmail/%d/%n mail_location = maildir:~/mail I think I've done it so. And yet, here http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/SimpleVirtualInstall it is written Users can be added by editing this file. Dovecot automatically notices the new users immediately after they're added. It also creates their home directories when the user logs in. However, the directory is not created.

[Dovecot] Variable similar to %u but providing the username changed by a database lookup?
by Axel Luttgens 17 Jul '13

17 Jul '13

Hello, Variable %u may be used in dovecot.conf whenever the "full username" is needed. But the expansion of %u returns the username before a possible change performed thru a password or user database lookup (e.g., in the case of a SQL database, thru as "AS user" clause). Is there a variable that would expand to the changed name when used in the configuration file? TIA, Axel

[Dovecot] Fail2ban and logging
by Paul van der Vlis 17 Jul '13

17 Jul '13

Hello, Dovecot is logging authentication failures this way: ------ Jul 12 18:07:19 vps0 dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (auth failed, 22 attempts in 172 secs): user=<info>, method=PLAIN, rip=82.95.148.152, lip=1.2.3.4, TLS, session=<QylMqlLhVwBSX5SY> ------ Fail2ban is trying to catch them with this regex: ------ failregex = .*(?:pop3-login|imap-login):.*(?:Authentication failure|Aborted login \(auth failed|Aborted login \(tried to use disabled|Disconnected \(auth failed).*rip=(?P<host>\S*),.* ------ This way fail2ban is counting 22 attempts as 1 attempt... I expect I need to change something on the logging, so that every attempt is seperate logged. But I don't know how. Is here somebody who knows how to get fail2ban correct working? No help on this on the wiki's: http://wiki1.dovecot.org/HowTo/Fail2Ban http://wiki1.dovecot.org/Logging http://www.fail2ban.org/wiki/index.php/Dovecot With regards, Paul van der Vlis. -- Paul van der Vlis Linux systeembeheer, Groningen http://www.vandervlis.nl/

[Dovecot] courier to dovecot
by J Gao 16 Jul '13

16 Jul '13

Hi, All, I am new here and I need your advises. Here is my story: I have a mail server like this: - CentOS 5 32 bit (LAMP) - Postfix 2.3 - Courier - MailScanner Courier use maildir to save emails in /home/vmail/<virtual domain>/<user> / Now I want to build a new system on CentOS 6.4 64bit with postfix, dovecot and migrate all user accounts and their emails. I already installed CentOS 6.4, postfix and mysql. Also just installed Dovecot v2.2.4 from the RPM. Now I am looking into how to Is there a good instruction on how to do this kind of migration? I still prefer using the maildir system. If I just copy all users email from old server to new dovecot user maildir, will dovecot see these mails (and sub-folders) ? Do I need do anything extra? Thanks in advance. Gao -- __ _|==|_ ('')__/ >--(`^^') (`^'^'`) `======'

[Dovecot] reload without shutting imap connections down
by Hajo Locke 16 Jul '13

16 Jul '13

Hello, we have some problems with users who report connectionproblems to dovecot sometimes. According to the logs there are dovecot reloads at this times. Seems that a reload also causes dovecot to shut all imapconnections down: Jul 16 13:31:40 myhostname dovecot: master: Warning: SIGHUP received - reloading configuration Jul 16 13:31:40 myhostname dovecot: imap: Server shutting down. bytes=251/675 I tried to reload by initscript or sending -HUP manually to pid, dovecot is shutting down imapconnections and i think this is the reason for users to report this problems with some clients. This seems to be new with versions 2.x, i have some old 1.2.x dovecots running and cant find "Server shutting down" in their logs after reload. I have still potential to reduce reloads, but cant avoid them completely. Is there a workaround? Thanks, Hajo
