[Dovecot] Searching dovecot Maildir
by emdeex 07 Aug '10

07 Aug '10

Hi All, Loving Dovecot after several years with Cyrus. This might be more a general question, but this seemed the best place to ask. The idea is to just add up all the values of quotes I've sent in a month. I want to search my Sent mail folder for all messages with a certain subject, then "grep" out a certain line that has a dollar ($) figure, and add up those figures. The idea is to just add up all the values of quotes I've sent in a month. Can it be done? Any help appreciated. regards, Murray Dovecot 1.2.6

[Dovecot] Strange behaviour when add new mailbox to IMAP (v 1.2.13)
by Alexander Chekalin 06 Aug '10

06 Aug '10

Hi, I think I need to ask you for advice. Personally I face that for the first time and hardly imagine this could be possible at all, but... My setup is simple: I have one mail server where all of my mail accounts are stored, and another one to store backup of all mailings. The scheme is simple, SMTP on first server forwards a copy of each message to address catchall(a)secondserver.my-domain. So whenever I need to restore any message I'll simple search for it on second server. Both servers are have Dovecot 1.2.13 as IMAP servers. First server's Dovecot is sql-backed one, the second server's (in fact it serving just one box) is using passwd-style text file auth. Other than this, setup is pretty similiar, and everything is well, but here is the mystery: I use Thunderbird (yesterday it was 3.1.1 and now it is 3.1.2) as my IMAP client. When I connect to my IMAP account on second server, and create mailbox, I see that there appears greyed folder named #virtual^Sent , and my new mailbox is in it. When I do the same thing on first server, everything works just as I expect it (new mailbox created right under root of my IMAP account). If I create on second server new mailbox right under any existing (say, under Inbox) everything is fine also. To check the problem I simplified my Dovecot config to the bare minimum, and it also won't work (#virtual^Sent still there). When I see on server disk, I see there .#virtual^Sent.NewTestMailbox dir (NewTestMailbox is the test mailbox I created), but there is no .#virtual^Sent dir. I rebuilt Dovecot, and also tried to build 1.2.12, none worked. May there be any solution for that? Yours, Alexander Chekalin

[Dovecot] Problem creating sockets after Solaris Live Upgrade
by Jürgen Obermann 06 Aug '10

06 Aug '10

Hello, I use Solaris Live Upgrade to install solaris patches in an alternate boot environment. Unfortunately the dovecot sockets /opt/local/var/run/dovecot/dict-server and /opt/local/var/run/dovecot/login/default are created as normal files in the ABE. After switching to the ABE dovecot will not start because of the existence of these two files. After removing these files dovecot starts normally. I think that dovecot should create the sockets even if there exist files with the same names. Here is the protocol of this: Dovecot uses two sockets in the running system: # ls -al /opt/local/var/run/dovecot/login/default /opt/local/var/run/dovecot/dict-server srwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Aug 4 10:07 /opt/local/var/run/dovecot/dict-server srw-rw---- 1 root dovecot 0 Aug 4 10:07 /opt/local/var/run/dovecot/login/default In the Alternate Boot Environment created with Solaris Live Upgrade there are normal files instead of the sockets: # ls -al /a/opt/local/var/run/dovecot/login/default /a/opt/local/var/run/dovecot/login/default -rw-rw---- 1 root dovecot 0 Jul 7 17:01 /a/opt/local/var/run/dovecot/login/default -rw-rw---- 1 root dovecot 0 Jul 7 17:01 /a/opt/local/var/run/dovecot/login/default During booting this ABE dovecot will not start, unless both files are removed: Aug 6 06:55:30 hostname dovecot: Fatal: Socket already exists: /opt/local/var/run/dovecot/dict-server # ls -al /opt/local/var/run/dovecot/dict-server -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Aug 4 10:09 /opt/local/var/run/dovecot/dict-server # rm /opt/local/var/run/dovecot/dict-server # /etc/init.d/dovecot start Last died with error (see error log for more information): Socket already exists: /opt/local/var/run/dovecot/dict-server Aug 6 06:57:50 hostname dovecot: [ID 583609 local0.info] Dovecot v1.2.12 starting up Aug 6 06:57:50 hostname dovecot: [ID 583609 local0.error] net_listen_unix(/opt/local/var/run/dovecot/login/default) failed: Address already in use Aug 6 06:57:50 hostname dovecot: [ID 583609 local0.crit] Fatal: Couldn't create auth process listener # ls -al /opt/local/var/run/dovecot/dict-server srwxrwxrwx 1 root other 0 Aug 6 06:57 /opt/local/var/run/dovecot/dict-server # ls -al /opt/local/var/run/dovecot/login/default -rw-rw---- 1 root dovecot 0 Aug 4 10:09 /opt/local/var/run/dovecot/login/default # rm /opt/local/var/run/dovecot/login/default # /etc/init.d/dovecot start # ls -al /opt/local/var/run/dovecot/login/default srw-rw---- 1 root dovecot 0 Aug 6 07:00 /opt/local/var/run/dovecot/login/default Both sockets are created by dovecot if they don't exist.

[Dovecot] dovecot 2.0 rc4, expire, sqlite
by Burckhard Schmidt 06 Aug '10

06 Aug '10

Hello, I will use expire like described within wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Expire with sqlite for a folder AutoCleanSpam. If I copy a message (with TB) into that folder, I get an error if there exists no entry for that user and that folder within the database: dict: Error: sqlite: exec(INSERT INTO expires (expire_stamp,username,mailbox) VALUES ('1281016832','userx','AutoCleanSpam')) failed: unable to open database file (14) dict: Error: sql dict: commit failed: If I make an initial entry manually first no error occurs. Anymore there is a problem concerning acl of the base directory of the expires.db: dict: Error: sqlite: open(/addons/expire/expires.db) failed: unable to open database file dict: Error: dict sql lookup failed: out of memory It was necessary to give "other" r-x permissions for directory /addons/expire. I use mail_uid = sysdov and mail_gid = sysdov. That is uid 29. Furthermore I work with userdb ldap and uid/gid mapping: user_attrs = homeDirectory=home,uidNumber=29,gidNumber=29 So usually it was sufficient using acl like this drwxr-x--- 2 sysdov sysdov 5 Aug 5 16:00 /addons/expire As which user expire, dict, sqlite access are running? -- Regards --- Burckhard Schmidt
