by Kádár Tamás (KTamas) 17 Nov '10

Hi My users are reporting that in public folders, emails that were past read suddenly got unread, sometimes even after marking them as read again. Didn't have such problems with 2.0.6 I think. My dovecot -n: # 2.0.7: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.26-2-xen-amd64 x86_64 Debian 5.0.6 auth_mechanisms = plain login disable_plaintext_auth = no listen = * mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir mail_plugins = acl maildir_very_dirty_syncs = yes namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = separator = . type = private } namespace { location = maildir:/home/_shared/projects:INDEX=~/Maildir/_shared prefix = shared. separator = . subscriptions = no type = public } passdb { driver = pam } plugin { acl = vfile mail_log_events = delete undelete expunge copy mailbox_delete mailbox_rename flag_change append mail_log_fields = uid box msgid from subject size vsize flags mail_log_group_events = yes } protocols = imap pop3 service imap { executable = imap } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = passwd } verbose_proctitle = yes protocol imap { mail_max_userip_connections = 40 mail_plugins = acl imap_acl }

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.0.7 (8793036f6de8) seems to miss some defaults for vsz_limit

Latest Mercurial seems to miss defaults for some services e.g. 'managesieve' and 'lmtp'. Example error message upon start: dovecotdoveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf: service(managesieve-login): vsz_limit is too low failed! Regards Thomas

Re: [Dovecot] Mail history function?

Please keep replies to the list so that others can participate. > I sugest the notify, because the admin can know if a user open a > email, copy to another folder, delete the email....etc. > > but using the MTA it can be a solution too. > At least in Germany, doing this is quite risky as this gives lots of information about the person. German law limits the use of profiles like these quite strictly; in general an employer has no business to log all these actions generally. This does not mean it can be helpful for diagnosing problems, but I would not recommend to do so as a general procedure. On the other hands, it is a de-facto requirement today that you can trace every communiction that has entered the company. The only place where you can do this without potentiall missing some messages is the MTA. This is why all the archival tools want to couple to the MTA... JC

Hello This is a bit off Dovecot but ... I'm searching some software to mirror mailboxes and IMAP forlders from the mailhub to another (clone) computer. Actually I use rsync daily but I wonder if it exists some software that are real time mirroring capable ? I'm using Dovecot 1.2.14 and Postfix with MBOX format. Thanks

[Dovecot] Mail history function?
by Oliver Berse 17 Nov '10

17 Nov '10

I'm a newbie at Dovecot. For a company groupware I need a kind of a history function for mails to see which user sent which mail to whom / got which mail from whom. So I have to get the message ID of in- and outgoing mails (and write related data to a mysql database). My first idea was to monitor the log file with a daemon and search for strings like "deliver(x(a)y.z): 2010-11-15 17:34:56 Info: msgid=<AANLkTikoRgUiEg2KgUW2gLmULD4TX-bPst4yhUbuHoEH(a)a.b>". I'm not sure if this is the right approach. Does anyone know a better solution with Dovecot? thanks, Oliver

by ckubu 17 Nov '10

hallo, i am changing my mailsetups to qmail+vpopmail+dovecot. is it possible to let dovecot's lda deliver mail into mailboxes but also deliver mails to forward-addresses in .qmail-files, if exists? b.t.w. i know, its not an dovecot issue, but maybe anyone knows: i have setup defaultdelivery in qmail-control directory, but vadddomain ignors it. is there a way to make that entry the default for .qmail-default files? thanks christoph

[Dovecot] Single-instance storage Thank You
by Daniel L. Miller 17 Nov '10

17 Nov '10

Timo, On following my previous thread that went somewhat off-topic, I noticed - or rather failed to notice - any response from you. This leaves me to draw one of the following conclusions: 1. You didn't see it. 2. You ignored it. 3. You saw it, took offense, and disregarded it. 4. You saw it, accepted the compliment for what it was - and didn't bother to respond. On the chance any of options 1-3 apply - please allow me to state as clearly as possible: your creation, that of Dovecot in general, and single-instance mdbox storage in particular, have significantly contributed to my own ease of system administration - and I offer my sincere thanks and admiration. -- Daniel

[Dovecot] Help - custom vpopmail
by Rick Romero 16 Nov '10

16 Nov '10

Hi, First, I'm not sure if dovecot should alter this, but it seems vpopmail writes the IP into the 'remote_ip' field instead of the auth type. Dovecot still writes the auth type. I want both. So I modified my vpopmail install to write an additional field into the lastauth table. My custom vpopmail writes the remote IP into remote_ip, and the auth type into a 'type' field. I tested with qmail's POP3 daemon to verify vchkpw would fill the table correcly. But I'm not sure how to get dovecot to do it: I know this is close, but there is something not right in src/auth/userdb-vpopmail.c line 99. vset_lastauth(vpop_user, vpop_domain, &auth_request->remote_ip, t_strdup_noconst(auth_request->service)); I'm, by far, NOT a C programmer - Feel free to laugh at my code publicly :) Thanks, Rick
