[Dovecot] disabling outgoing mail ?
by Per Jessen 03 Feb '11

03 Feb '11

We're using roundcube as a method of access to a read-only email archive served via imap/dovecot. I was thinking of disabling outgoing mails by fiddling with the roundcube code, but thought it might be possible to disable the outgoing functionality from dovecot? /Per Jessen, Zürich

[Dovecot] Quota ignore issue
by Tim Traver 02 Feb '11

02 Feb '11

Hi Timo, ok, in my dovecot setup, I have a setting to ignore messages in the Spam folder (I will put my dovecot -n at the end of the message), and a strange thing appears to be happening. If I do a quota recalc on an account, It creates the maildirsize file correctly, without the contents of the Spam folder calculated into the total used. But, it looks like when a new spam email is delivered, before the sieve rules in the lda can move it into the spam folder, it is added to the maildirsize file. Then, once it is moved into the Spam folder, if it is directly expunged from the folder, it isn't subtracted from maildirsize file. I am using roundcube as a webmail solution, and it recognizes the Spam folder and lets users directly empty the Spam folder instead of moving it to the trash, and then removing it. If I do move the mail from the Spam folder to the Trash folder, and then empty the trash, it then puts the subtraction in the maildirsize folder. So, either it shouldn't add it in the first place, or even though it is deleted directly from the Spam folder, it should be subtracted from the maildirsize folder, right? Hmmm...maybe its the structure of the default sieve command that I have that is making it want to add it? here is the default sieve script that I use in the sieve_after field : require "fileinto"; # rule:[Spam and Virus Tag] if anyof (header :contains "Subject" "[VIRUS-TAG]", header :contains "Subject" "[SPAM-TAG]") { fileinto "Spam"; stop; } Essentially, what is happening is that users are getting their quota filled up for messages that were in their Spam folder... Thanks, Tim. and here is my dovecot -n output : # 2.0.7: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: FreeBSD 8.1-STABLE i386 auth_username_format = %Lu auth_username_translation = %@ auth_verbose = yes disable_plaintext_auth = no dotlock_use_excl = yes first_valid_uid = 100 listen = * lock_method = dotlock log_path = /local/logs/dovecot.errors mail_fsync = always mail_gid = 100 mail_location = maildir:%h/Maildir mail_nfs_index = yes mail_nfs_storage = yes mail_plugins = " quota" mail_uid = 100 managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date imapflags notify mmap_disable = yes passdb { args = /bin/checkpassword_dovecot_auth driver = checkpassword } plugin { quota = maildir:User quota quota_rule = Trash:storage=+100M quota_rule2 = Spam:ignore sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_after = /home/mailboxes/sieve/to_spam_folder.sieve sieve_dir = ~/Maildir/sieve sieve_extensions = +notify +imapflags } protocols = imap pop3 sieve service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { group = sn mode = 0600 user = sn } } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = prefetch } userdb { args = /bin/checkpassword_dovecot_deliver driver = checkpassword } verbose_proctitle = yes verbose_ssl = yes protocol pop3 { pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh } protocol lda { info_log_path = /local/logs/dovecot-deliver.log log_path = /local/logs/dovecot-deliver-errors.log mail_plugins = " quota sieve" } protocol imap { mail_plugins = " quota imap_quota" } protocol sieve { managesieve_sieve_capability = comparator-i;ascii-numeric fileinto reject vacation imap4flags notify include envelope body relational regex subaddress copy }

[Dovecot] Reproducable hang caused by IMAP server
by Matthias Scheler 02 Feb '11

02 Feb '11

Hello, I have problems with Dovecot 2.0.9 (and 2.0.8) under NetBSD/amd64 5.1. "mutt" hangs when I try to quit it after accessing a folder via IMAP. I can reproduce the problem with these steps: 1.) I run "mutt -f =foo" to access folder "foo" via IMAP. The folder contains about 10 messages in my case. 2.) I tag two of the messages and then save them to a *non existent* folder. When "mutt" asks whether the folder should be created I confirm the action. 3.) Finally I exit "mutt" and confirm the question whether the messages marked as deleted (by the save in step 2) should be deleted. 4.) "mutt" now hangs indefinitely. I've attached a packet capture of the above steps to this e-mail. As far as I can tell from the packet capture and debugging "mutt" with "gdb" it waits for the IMAP server to confirm the logout which never happens. I've never seen this problem with Dovecot 1.2.16. Here is the requested debugging information: Output of "dovecot --version": 2.0.9 Output of "doveconf -n": # 2.0.9: /etc/pkg/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: NetBSD 5.1_STABLE amd64 auth_mechanisms = cram-md5 digest-md5 plain login listen = *, [::] mail_debug = yes mail_location = mbox:~/Mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u passdb { args = /etc/pkg/dovecot/passwd driver = passwd-file } pop3_uidl_format = %08Xv%08Xu protocols = imap pop3 service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } } ssl_cert = </etc/openssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/openssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = passwd } Kind regards -- Matthias Scheler http://zhadum.org.uk/

[Dovecot] Signal 11 on deliver
by Matt 02 Feb '11

02 Feb '11

I just installed Postfix, MySQL, and Dovecot. Everything is working great (IMAP, POP, SMTP) except that I can't get incoming mail to deliver properly. Incoming mail logs the following: Feb 2 13:23:52 mail postfix/qmgr[2187]: CE0D41F0263: from=<mhoppes@[redacted]>, size=650, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Feb 2 13:23:52 mail postfix/pipe[3594]: CE0D41F0263: to=<mhoppes@[redacted]>, relay=dovecot, delay=0.32, delays=0.3/0/0/0.01, dsn=5.3.0, status=bounced (Command died with signal 11: "/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver") Running /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d mhoppes@[redacted] results in an e-mail being delivered to the recipient. Any thoughts on what my issue is?

[Dovecot] Can´t move folders in Outlook
by Mult´Moldes - Informatica 02 Feb '11

02 Feb '11

Hi, this is my first time in a mailing list, so I don´t know if I´m doing it right. My problem is that I cannot move a folder into another one, I can create them, move messages, etc, but I can´t move a folder, no matter what folder. It works fine With Thunderbird, but in Outlook Express or WLive Mail2009 it just doesn´t go! Must be something wrong with my .conf. I hope someone can help me please. dovecot --version 1.0.15 dovecot -n # 1.0.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: imap listen: 192.168.10.2:210 disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: maildir:/var/mail/%u auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd

[Dovecot] override not working
by Paul A 02 Feb '11

02 Feb '11

Hi, I'm using dovecot 2.x and I'm using override so that only certain domains are allowed to use ACLs, however it does seem to be working even though I see the mail_plugins override in the logs. In the config file I have protocol imap { mail_plugins = quota imap_quota trash expire autocreate } Using the following password/user queries: password_query = SELECT username as user, password, if('%d'='virttest2.xxx.net', 'acl imap_acl',null) as mail_plugins, concat('/var/vmail/%d/', maildir) as userdb_home, concat('maildir:/var/vmail/%d/', maildir) as userdb_mail, 101 as userdb_uid, 502 as userdb_gid, CONCAT('*:bytes=', CAST(quota AS CHAR)) AS quota_rule FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' user_query = SELECT maildir, if('%d'='virttest2.xxx.net', 'acl imap_acl',null) as mail_plugins, 101 AS uid, 502 AS gid, CONCAT('*:bytes=', CAST(quota AS CHAR)) AS quota_rule FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active = '1' Now in n the log I do see the mail_plugins override but for some reason I get an IMAP error when trying to share folders. out: OK 1 user=user20(a)virttest2.xxx.net mail_plugins=acl imap_acl quota_rule=*:bytes=512000000 ERROR: IMAP server does not support the ACL capability, sorry.
