[Dovecot] Patch for dovecot 1.2.16 (and .17) for vpopmail module
by Alessio Cecchi 22 Dec '11

22 Dec '11

Hi Timo, I love dovecot but I love also vpopmail and its functions for manage user limits (via vmoduser). Unfortunately in dovecot 1.2.x auth default set to use "vpopmail" is unable to apply this limits. Only if used with checkpassword limits works fine but in the dovecot.log only user (without @domain) is logged. So, based on the code of dovecot 2.0, I have created this very simple patch that correct this bug.

[Dovecot] Global Sieve Script Includes no longer works with 056934abd2ef

[Dovecot] Backing Up To Windows File Server
by Asai 22 Dec '11

22 Dec '11

Greetings, Working with dsync and setting up backups to a Windows file server. Problem seems to be that Windows is renaming the dovecot mail files (maildir) to Windows friendly filenames, and losing the Dovecot name. For example, 1323817925.M36368P32049.triata.globalchangemultimedia.net,S=2255,W=2318:2,S becomes 1AETPH~X. Does anyone have any ideas about how to tell Windows to not do this? Or is it not possible? -- --asai

[Dovecot] lmtp logging incomplete (does not tell what mailbox mail is actually being saved to!)
by Gary Chodos 22 Dec '11

22 Dec '11

We created a new virtual domain and created a user in that domain in our pgsql database. Instead of creating any directory structure in /home/virtual/mail/<domain>/<user>, I just sent a test email to see if dovecot's lmtp would autocreate. And it did! And mail appears to be delivered to an inbox.. but, logging is weird and I'm not sure everything is working as it should because: Dec 20 23:01:28 mx dovecot: lmtp(21458, user(a)example.com) lUDFG8tZ8U7SUwAAO3tENA: msgid=<20111221040122.GP13367(a)hostname.example.org>: saved mail to . so why doesn't dovecot log where mail is stored/saved? thanks, Gary

[Dovecot] Problem listing SPECIAL-USE flags
by Patrick Ben Koetter 21 Dec '11

21 Dec '11

Timo, we want to implement SPECIAL-USE in Thunderbird (TB), but we've run into problems. I believe you could help change that. Here's the problem: By default TB only lists subscribed (LSUB) folders when it accesses an IMAP server. However when I do a LSUB on recent Dovecot 2.1 code from mercurial I don't get to see the SPECIAL-USE flags. Therefore TB fails to identify which folders it should use and map to until someone tells it to list all folders (LIST) manually. Central part of the SPECIAL-USE idea was/is to require as little user interaction as possible to automatically setup a MUA to do the right thing. Speculating that probably most MUAs will do a LSUB by default and never will get to see SPECIAL-USE flags I think it is easier to have the server-side promote the flags. Do you think that would be possible? Just to verify I configured Dovecot as you would expect for SPECIAL-USE: I've set Dovecot 2.1 to autocreate and autosubscribe SPECIAL-USE mailboxes like this: namespace inbox { ... mailbox AltDrafts { special_use = \Drafts auto = subscribe } ... } This is what I get: * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN AUTH=CRAM-MD5] Dovecot 2.1 ready. t1 login alice(a)example.com secret t1 OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE SORT SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE QRESYNC ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH LIST-STATUS FUZZY SPECIAL-USE] Logged in t2 LSUB "" "%" * LSUB () "."

[Dovecot] compile dovecot-sieve for dovecot 1.2.9 (ubuntu pkg)
by Julien Lacroix 21 Dec '11

21 Dec '11

Cheers, I've a running Dovecot 1.2.9, installed from the ubuntu 10.04 Lucid LTS repository and trying to get the dovecot-sieve plugin (which seems to be not included in the lucid repo) compiled. Method 1 listed in http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve/Dovecot wont work, seems the rpm was build without --enable-header-install Is it sufficient to download the sources from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/d/dovecot/dovecot_1.2.9.orig.tar… and use them for ./configure --with-dovecot=$path ? thanks and happy holidays julien

[Dovecot] Can I block dovecot from deleting read messages, after being fetched?
by Vasiliu Adrian 21 Dec '11

21 Dec '11

Hi all, Is there an option to disable (server-side) the deletion of read mails after fetching them via POP3, regardless of the MUA config? Here are the issues I'm facing: - my boss wants to force everyone into a server-side "no delete message"-policy, for archiving, auditing and backup&recovery purposes - the requisite here is pop3, so imap is out - the mailusers are virtual users (held in a mysql db) - don't have the budget to set up a separate mail-arvhing server - don't want to use shaggy ways (aka immutable flag, r/w permissions for Maildirs, etc) dovecot --version 2.0.15 Help? Thanks!
