Hello list, Is anybody out there who knows of an MTA that can do LDAP writes ? I apologize for bringing this to the list, however, I did some googling and cannot find any answer to this. Thank you all, spyros ---- "I merely function as a channel that filters music through the chaos of noise" - Vangelis

[Dovecot] Don't Know Where Emails Are Or What's Happening
by Jack Fredrikson 21 Oct '11

Hi; I'm new to Dovecot and Postfix. I'm trying to enable these with MySQL support and postfixadmin. I've got all those services up and running (finally!); however, I can't figure out if the emails are being received and/or stored.

[Dovecot] Quota
by nuno marques 21 Oct '11

21 Oct '11

hi, I'm having some difficulty understanding the connection between postfix, dovecot and quota. What is the best way to set up quotas? through the file system quota and maildir? Need the dovecot lda working? The postfix needs a patch? I was thinking about setting quotas on file system, then configure Postfix to connect to dovecot-lda. Any suggestion? The system as a whole is composed of:dovecot-2.0-0.10.beta6.20100630.el6.x86_64 -> 2.0.beta6 (3156315704ef)openldap-servers-2.4.19-15.el6_0.2.x86_64postfix-2.6.6-2.1.el6_0.x86_64mailscanner-4.84.3-1.noarchspamassassin-3.3.1-2.el6.x86_64centos 6 2.6.32-71.29.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Jun 27 19:49:27 BST 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

[Dovecot] Email filters
by Jos Chrispijn 21 Oct '11

21 Oct '11

Can someone tell me how I can configure Dovecot to use message filters on incoming email? When I now activate my mail account on my mobile phone and Thunderbird (or any other mail client with message filters) is not online, I get a huge pile of email in my INBOX that I have to go thru, while 90% is not that interesting to read as they belong to Spam messages, newsletters etc. Thanks in advance Jos Chrispijn

[Dovecot] Expire plugin not executing for sieve plugin?
by Dan Swartzendruber 20 Oct '11

20 Oct '11

Running dovecot 1.2.12 on ubuntu 10.10. Here is the problem: I have mysql backend for expire. I am using the dovecot-postfix package which creates /etc/dovecot/conf.d/01-mail-stack-delivery.conf which looks like this: # Some general options protocols = imap imaps managesieve disable_plaintext_auth = no ssl = yes ssl_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/ssl-mail.pem ssl_key_file = /etc/ssl/private/ssl-mail.key ssl_cipher_list = ALL:!LOW:!SSLv2:ALL:!aNULL:!ADH:!eNULL:!EXP:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir auth_username_chars = abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ01234567890.-_@ # IMAP configuration protocol imap { mail_max_userip_connections = 10 imap_client_workarounds = outlook-idle delay-newmail mail_plugins = expire } # LDA configuration protocol lda { postmaster_address = postmaster mail_plugins = sieve expire quota_full_tempfail = yes deliver_log_format = msgid=%m: %$ rejection_reason = Your message to <%t> was automatically rejected:%n%r } # Plugins configuration plugin { sieve=~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir=~/sieve # If the user has no personal active script (i.e. if the file # indicated in sieve= does not exist), use this one: sieve_global_path = /var/lib/dovecot/sieve/default.sieve } The sieve is: require "fileinto"; require "imap4flags"; if header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" "YES" { setflag "\\Seen"; fileinto "SPAM"; stop; } Originally, this did not have the setflag or stop - I added them hoping to fix the problem, but no luck. The problem is this: when spam assassin has flagged a message as spam, the sieve runs and the message is in fact filed into the SPAM folder, but no expire entry is added to the database. If I move such a message from the SPAM folder to the Inbox and then back to SPAM, voila, I *do* get the entry created. Here is the mysql table before and after I did the move/move: mysql> select * from expires; +----------+---------------+--------------+ | username | mailbox | expire_stamp | +----------+---------------+--------------+ | dswartz | Deleted Items | 1319720163 | | dswartz | Sent | 1319120165 | | denise | Trash | 1319139920 | | samantha | Trash | 1319136146 | | denise | Sent | 1319655872 | | danielle | Sent | 1319192230 | | samantha | Sent | 1319268855 | | dswartz | Trash | 1319725884 | | samantha | SPAM | 1321504531 | +----------+---------------+--------------+ 9 rows in set (0.00 sec) mysql> select * from expires; +----------+---------------+--------------+ | username | mailbox | expire_stamp | +----------+---------------+--------------+ | dswartz | Deleted Items | 1319720163 | | dswartz | Sent | 1319120165 | | denise | Trash | 1319139920 | | samantha | Trash | 1319136146 | | denise | Sent | 1319655872 | | danielle | Sent | 1319192230 | | samantha | Sent | 1319268855 | | dswartz | Trash | 1319725884 | | samantha | SPAM | 1321504531 | | dswartz | SPAM | 1321714666 | +----------+---------------+--------------+ 10 rows in set (0.00 sec) It's almost like the fileinto stuff is not running the plugin code at all, or am I totally on drugs? If I can't get a fix for this, I at least now can think of a hack to "fix" it. e.g. every night, run a script that adds a "now" timestamp for everyone's SPAM folder to trick the periodic expire tool code into checking that folder, but obviously I'd rather have a real fix :) If this is just 'how it works', is it better in 2.0?
