[Dovecot] doveadm purge on shared storage
by Jan-Frode Myklebust 06 Feb '12

06 Feb '12

We've finally (!) started to put some users on mdbox instead of maildir, and now I'm wondering about the purge step. As we're running GPFS for the mailboxes (and dovecot director in front of every dovecot service), is it important to run the "doveadm purge -u $user" on the same host as $user is logged into to avoid index corruption ? If so, will we need to run the "doveadm purge" trough the dovecot director as well? -jf

[Dovecot] Sieve notify messages
by Andreas Muehlemann 05 Feb '12

05 Feb '12

Hi All I'm using dovecot 2.0.16 with the pigeonhole plugin 0.25. I'm trying to use the notifiy mechanism from sieve to send notifications when a mail arrives in the mailbox. The message is checked to be a 8bit message, otherwise it is replaced by the default message "Notification of new message." How can I create a 8bit message body within the sieve script that is accepted by the notification process? e.g. notify :message "Subject: ${subject}" "mailto:email@domain.com"; Do I have to put the message body into the :message string? Or how can I define a custom message body that is accepted by notify? Best regards Andreas

[Dovecot] LDAP auth improvements
by Timo Sirainen 03 Feb '12

03 Feb '12

v2.1 supports now multiple LDAP fields in a template e.g.: user_attrs = \ homeDirectory=home, \ uidNumber=uid, \ gidNumber=gid, \ =mail=%{ldap:mailboxFormat}:%{ldap:homeDirectory} which is the same as: user_attrs = \ =home=%{ldap:homeDirectory}, \ =uid=%{ldap:uidNumber}, \ =gid=%{ldap:gidNumber}, \ =mail=%{ldap:mailboxFormat}:%{ldap:homeDirectory} I was also thinking about adding an alternative simplified syntax for this: user_attrs { home = %{ldap:homeDirectory} uid = %{ldap:uidNumber} gid = %{ldap:gidNumber} mail = %{ldap:mailboxFormat}:%{ldap:homeDirectory} } Any ideas for further improvements before I do this change? One thing I'm still wondering about is what I should do when LDAP returns multiple values. Like perhaps: acl_groups = %{ldap:aclGroups:,} Which would mean that all the aclGroups values would be joined together separated by "," characters. And a bit more complex with multiple gidNumbers: gid = %{ldap:gidNumber[0]} mail_access_groups = %{ldap:gidNumber[1:]:,}

[Dovecot] Errors starting Dovecot

Hi, I'm new to Dovecot. I'm trying to start Dovecot(2.0.9) but I'm getting an error. I think the error is because I'm doing a tutorial for an old version of Devcot(1.x.x). What I get is the following: [code] [root@mailserver dovecot]# service dovecot start Starting Dovecot Imap: doveconf: Warning: NOTE: You can get a new clean config file with: doveconf -n > dovecot-new.conf doveconf: Warning: Obsolete setting in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf:1: protocols=imaps is no longer necessary, remove it doveconf: Warning: Obsolete setting in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf:1: protocols=pop3s is no longer necessary, remove it doveconf: Warning: Obsolete setting in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf:5: ssl_cert_file has been replaced by ssl_cert = <file doveconf: Warning: Obsolete setting in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf:6: ssl_key_file has been replaced by ssl_key = <file doveconf: Warning: Obsolete setting in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf:8: namespace private {} has been replaced by namespace { type=private } doveconf: Warning: Obsolete setting in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf:24: add auth_ prefix to all settings inside auth {} and remove the auth {} section completely doveconf: Warning: Obsolete setting in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf:25: auth_user has been replaced by service auth { user } doveconf: Warning: Obsolete setting in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf:27: passdb sql {} has been replaced by passdb { driver=sql } doveconf: Warning: Obsolete setting in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf:31: userdb static {} has been replaced by userdb { driver=static } [ OK ] [/code] My dovecot.conf have the following: [code] protocols = imap imaps pop3 pop3s log_timestamp = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S " mail_location = maildir:/home/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir ssl_cert_file = /etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key_file = /etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem namespace private { separator = . prefix = INBOX. inbox = yes } protocol lda { log_path = /home/vmail/dovecot-deliver.log auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master postmaster_address = postmaster(a)example.com } protocol pop3 { pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv } auth default { user = root passdb sql { args = /etc/dovecot-sql.conf } userdb static { args = uid=5000 gid=5000 home=/home/vmail/%d/%n allow_all_users=yes } socket listen { master { path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode = 0600 user = vmail } client { path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode = 0660 user = postfix group = postfix } } } [/code] Any clues on how can I adapt this configuration file to Dovecot 2.0.9?

[Dovecot] Doubts about dsync, mdbox, SIS
by Jan-Frode Myklebust 03 Feb '12

03 Feb '12

I've been running continous dsync backups of our Maildirs for a few weeks now, with the destination dsync server using mdbox and SIS. The idea was that the destination server would act as a warm copy of all our active users data. The active servers are using Maildir, and has: $ df -h /usr/local/atmail/users/ Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/atmailusers 14T 12T 2.2T 85% /usr/local/atmail/users $ df -hi /usr/local/atmail/users/ Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on /dev/atmailusers 145M 113M 33M 78% /usr/local/atmail/users very little of this is compressed (zlib plugin enabled during christmas). I'm surprised that the destination server is so large, was expecting zlib and mdbox and SIS would compress it down to much less than what we're seeing (12TB -> 5TB): $ df -h /srv/mailbackup Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/mailbackupvg-mailbackuplv 5.7T 4.8T 882G 85% /srv/mailbackup Lots and lots of the attachement storage is duplicated into identical files, instead of hard linked. When running "doveadm purge -u $user", we're seeing lots of Error: unlink(/srv/mailbackup/attachments/c3/17/c317b32b97688c16859956f11b803e3bba434349-057274283bb51f4f917e0000bf34f6ab) failed: No such file or directory "/srv/mailbackup/attachments/c3/17/c317b32b97688c16859956f11b803e3bba434349-057274283bb51f4f917e0000bf34f6ab" is missing, but there are 205 other copies of this file named /srv/mailbackup/attachments/c3/17/c317b32b97688c16859956f11b803e3bba434349-* with identical sha1sum. Also we see corrupted indexes during the purge. This makes me quite uncertain if dsync is a workable backup solution.. or if we can trust mdboxes. Also on the source side, during dsync, we see too many problems.
