[Dovecot] Dovecot broken with newer OpenSSL
by Brad 28 Jul '09

28 Jul '09

After updating my system from OpenSSL 0.9.8j to 0.9.8k Dovecot has stopped functioning properly with TLS sessions. The version of Dovecot does not seem to matter as I tried 1.1.11 - 1.1.14. Other programs using SSL/TLS such as Postfix and lightty still work fine when built with the newer release of OpenSSL. The IMAP client doesn't matter. For the time being I have gone back to .13 linked against older OpenSSL. In the logs I see messages like the following... dovecot: Apr 16 23:12:18 Info: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=2001:470:b01e:3:216:41ff:fe17:6933, lip=2001:470:1d:8c::2, TLS handshaking: Disconnected -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

[Dovecot] Dovecot 1.2.2
by Guy 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

Hi, I've just tried upgrading from 1.1.8 to 1.2.2. As soon as the new version was started up the number of imap/pop3 processes began to climb to 800+, where I normally have about 300 or so connections at any given time. The load on the server also climbed to 150+. I've reverted back to 1.1.18, which is running just fine, but is there anything I can do to help trace what was causing the problem? Unfortunately I don't have a clue where to start. Thanks Guy -- Don't just do something...sit there!

[Dovecot] folder in dovecot
by Diego Roversi 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

Hello, I'm quite new to dovecot, and I have some questions about folders. At the moment I've a script that use fetchmail + procmail to get mail from the isp, and save the mail in different folder. The idea is to save mail from different mailing list in different folder. Now I've installed dovecot so i can read mail from different computers, and i want to export all the folders. I start with a simple configuration: root@debian:/home/diego# dovecot -n # 1.1.11: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.30-rc8 armv5tel Ubuntu 9.04 log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: maildir:~/Mail/inbox mail_debug: yes namespace: type: private separator: / location: maildir:~/Mail/inbox inbox: yes list: yes subscriptions: yes namespace: type: private separator: / prefix: openmoko/ location: maildir:~/Mail/openmoko list: yes subscriptions: yes auth default: passdb: driver: passwd-file args: /etc/passwd.dovecot userdb: driver: passwd I use icedove (thunderbird) to connect to the dovecot server and I see the two folder. But openmoko one looks empty, even if there are more then 10k messages. Without namespaces and setting mail_location pointing to the openmoko folder works, i see the messages of openmoko folder as inbox in icedove. What's wrong? Do you have any suggestion? Thanks in advance, Diego Roversi.

[Dovecot] v1.1.18 released
by Timo Sirainen 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/dovecot-1.1.18.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/dovecot-1.1.18.tar.gz.sig A few more fixes to v1.1 series. It probably won't have many released left. + dovecot -n/-a now outputs also lda settings. - Maildir++ quota: Quota was sometimes updated wrong when it was being recalculated. - Searching quoted-printable message body internally converted "_" characters to spaces and didn't match search keys with "_". - Messages in year's first/last day may have had broken timezones with OSes not having struct tm->tm_gmtoff (e.g. Solaris).

[Dovecot] Funky quota things
by Guy 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

Hi guys, I already use Dovecot for imap/pop3 with some simple quota options. I'm starting to look at the switch from maildrop to dovecot lda and I'm wondering whether it's possible to do our unusual quota management with the quota plugin. We have the users total quota in MySQL along with a number of grace days (counts up to 7). The amount of space used is stored in maildirsize in the users maildir. What we currently some bits of voodoo which allow the user to go up to 200% of their quota. When they go over 100% they start receiving warnings and their grace days start counting down. If the account is still using over 100% of quota after the 7 days then the 100% quota is enforced so no new mail will be accepted. So is something like this "burst" quota possible in the Dovecot plugin? Thanks Guy -- Don't just do something...sit there!
