[Dovecot] deliver does not update maildirsize
by ftriboix＠falcon-one.com 24 Jun '09

24 Jun '09

Hello, I have installed postfix 2.5.1 + dovecot 1.0.13 + MySQL and it all works perfectly. I use deliver as the local delivery agent and use IMAP only with maildir mailboxes. I am using virtual mailboxes. Now I wanted to introduce quotas, but I can't manage to make them work. Quota information is retreived from MySQL in userdb requests. I have noticed that the maildirsize file is not updated by deliver when a new mail comes in. I don't know if this is correct or not... It is updated though when I log in. But even then mails are still received without any kind of problem while the mailbox is well over the quota. I tried to add a "-v" option to deliver in postfix's master.cf to debug deliver, but it apparently does not like this option. Please find below my postfix and dovecot's configurations. Thank you very much for any help. NB: I removed some sensitive configuration option for this email NB2: The user in question has a quota of 1MB # postconf -n alias_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix-2.5.1/mysql-localalias.cf append_at_myorigin = no append_dot_mydomain = no biff = no command_directory = /usr/local/postfix-2.5.1/sbin config_directory = /etc/postfix-2.5.1 daemon_directory = /usr/local/postfix-2.5.1/libexec data_directory = /var/postfix-2.5.1/data debug_peer_level = 2 html_directory = /usr/local/postfix-2.5.1/doc/html mail_owner = lpostfix mail_spool_directory = /var/mail mailq_path = /usr/local/postfix-2.5.1/bin/mailq manpage_directory = /usr/local/postfix-2.5.1/man mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, $mydomain mydomain = MyHostingDomain myhostname = MyMachine.MyHostingDomain mynetworks_style = host myorigin = $mydomain newaliases_path = /usr/local/postfix-2.5.1/bin/newaliases queue_directory = /var/postfix-2.5.1 readme_directory = /usr/local/postfix-2.5.1/doc/text relay_domains = relayhost = [MyRelayHost] sample_directory = /etc/postfix-2.5.1 sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail setgid_group = lpostdrop smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix-2.5.1/tmp-sasl-pwd smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_non_fqdn_hostname, reject_non_fqdn_sender, reject_non_fqdn_recipient, reject_unauth_destination, reject_unauth_pipelining, reject_invalid_hostname smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_local_domain = $myhostname smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth.dovecot smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot syslog_facility = local0 unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550 virtual_alias_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix-2.5.1/mysql-alias.cf,mysql:/etc/postfix-2.5.1/mysql-global-alias.cf,mysql:/etc/postfix-2.5.1/mysql-email2email.cf virtual_gid_maps = static:5000 virtual_mailbox_domains = mysql:/etc/postfix-2.5.1/mysql-domain.cf virtual_mailbox_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix-2.5.1/mysql-mailbox.cf virtual_transport = dovecot virtual_uid_maps = static:5000 # cat master.cf # # Postfix master process configuration file.

Every 2 or 3 days dovecot will not allow me to log into my IMAP server. It keeps requesting my username and password. If I do a /etc/init.d/dovecot restart it will start working again for a few days. I have dovecot set up to use Maildir.

Dear Sirs, I was able to migrate successfully from Courier-Imap to Dovecot, Timo I appreciate your help. I have notices that the file /var/log/dovecot.log shows the following: dovecot: Jun 23 15:04:05 Info: imap-login: Login: user=<dtoledo>, method=PLAIN, rip=172.16.10.15, lip=172.16.10.19 dovecot: Jun 23 15:04:06 Info: imap-login: Login: user=<abonilla>, method=PLAIN, rip=172.16.10.14, lip=172.16.10.19 dovecot: Jun 23 15:04:06 Info: IMAP(abonilla): Disconnected: Logged out bytes=59/566 dovecot: Jun 23 15:04:06 Info: imap-login: Login: user=<slopez>, method=PLAIN, rip=172.16.10.14, lip=172.16.10.19 dovecot: Jun 23 15:04:06 Info: IMAP(slopez): Disconnected: Logged out bytes=59/567 dovecot: Jun 23 15:04:06 Info: IMAP(dtoledo): Disconnected: Logged out bytes=1252/34481 dovecot: Jun 23 15:04:07 Info: imap-login: Login: user=<slopez>, method=PLAIN, rip=172.16.10.14, lip=172.16.10.19 dovecot: Jun 23 15:04:07 Info: IMAP(slopez): Disconnected: Logged out bytes=59/567 dovecot: Jun 23 15:04:07 Info: IMAP(framirez): Disconnected: Logged out bytes=1252/34041 dovecot: Jun 23 15:04:08 Info: imap-login: Login: user=<mgomez>, method=PLAIN, rip=172.16.10.14, lip=172.16.10.19 dovecot: Jun 23 15:04:10 Info: IMAP(mgomez): Disconnected: Logged out bytes=1805/66570 dovecot: Jun 23 15:04:13 Info: imap-login: Login: user=<curibe>, method=PLAIN, rip=172.16.10.14, lip=172.16.10.19 dovecot: Jun 23 15:04:15 Info: IMAP(curibe): Disconnected: Logged out bytes=749/351591 Given that there are several domains hosted on the server, how can I configure Dovecot to the log file shows the full user name.

[Dovecot] Deliver, sieve and duplicate message
by jean-Noël Chardron 24 Jun '09

24 Jun '09

Hello, Some users subscribe to several mailing lists which causes them to have the same message several times what they do not want . Today we use procmail as delivery agent to discard duplicate message, we want to migrate to dovecot deliver + sieve I read a previous post about the duplicate messages : http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2007-March/021085.html But I do not understand if this feature exists and how to activate Some explanations or documentation would be welcome. thank you, -- Jean-Noel Chardron

[Dovecot] dovecot-antispam problem with sa-learn
by maxlosblob＠tiscali.it 24 Jun '09

24 Jun '09

Hi all, I just set up a dovecot+postfix+roundcubemail+spamassassin system with virtual users. These applications work fine, I have a problem with the dovecot-antispam plugin. Dovecot is compiled from tarball, version 1.1.16, the plugin is version 1.2. The problem is that when I move messages from or to "Posta indesiderata", which is in antispam_spam list, nothing happens. I have no logs about sa-learn activity in /var/log/maillog, nor in /var/log messages, no matter if I set DEBUG=syslog or DEBUG=stderr. Here are my confs: dovecot-antispam .config BACKEND=mailtrain USER=root GROUP=root DEBUG=syslog DEBUG_VERBOSE=5 PLUGINNAME=antispam dovecot -n # 1.1.16: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.18-sblob i686 CentOS release 5.2 (Final) simfs protocols: imap pop3 ssl_disable: yes disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login last_valid_uid: 500 first_valid_gid: 500 last_valid_gid: 500 mail_location: maildir:/var/virtual/%d/%n/Posta mail_debug: yes mail_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable (pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugins(default): listescape antispam mail_plugins(imap): listescape antispam mail_plugins (pop3): mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir (pop3): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3 namespace: type: private separator: / inbox: yes list: yes subscriptions: yes auth default: passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: static args: uid=500 gid=500 home=/var/virtual/% d/%u plugin: antispam_trash: trash;Trash;Deleted Items;Cestino; antispam_spam: Spam;Posta indesiderata;.Posta indesiderata;SPAM;.SPAM antispam_mail_sendmail: /usr/bin/sa-learn antispam_mail_spam: --spam antispam_mail_notspam: --ham antispam_mail_tmpdir: /tmp Thanks in advance Max Non rinunciare ai tuoi ricordi...Tiscali Photo affronta la crisi con incredibili offerte http://photo.tiscali.it

[Dovecot] v1.2.rc6 released
by Timo Sirainen 24 Jun '09

24 Jun '09

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/rc/dovecot-1.2.rc6.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/rc/dovecot-1.2.rc6.tar.gz.sig I think it's time to get v1.2.0 released soon. There is apparently still one rare crashing bug in virtual plugin, but unless someone can reproduce the bug I'm not going to delay v1.2.0 because of it. The release plan is: - Release v1.2.rc7 next Friday (assuming there have been some fixes) - Release v1.2.0 the next Monday I'll be giving a Dovecot talk in Berlin on July 2nd, and I really want to have v1.2.0 released by them. So July 1st is the absolute final deadline for v1.2.0. :) Changes since rc5: * imap proxy: Pass through to client unexpected untagged replies from remote server (e.g. alerts). * Solr: Don't use "any" copyfield, it doubles the index size. * mail_location: Allow using ":" characters in dir names by escaping it as "::". - mbox: Don't crash with invalid From_-lines. - IMAP: Don't crash if IDLE command is pipelined after a long-running UID FETCH or UID SEARCH. - ACL / shared mailbox fixes - Some metadata files were incorrectly getting 0666 permissions.

[Dovecot] courier-imap 2 Dovecot Migration
by Odhiambo ワシントン 24 Jun '09

24 Jun '09

I have a question about migration from courier-imap. I have a server running courier-imap which I'd like to change to dovecot. The problem at hand is that there are POP3 users as well as IMAP4 users.Some of the POP3 users have the option to "leave a copy of the message on the server" set in their MuAs. Is it possible to migrate from courier-imap --> Dovecot and not have these people re fetching all their old e-mails all over again? -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "If you have nothing good to say about someone, just shut up!." -- Lucky Dube

[Dovecot] tcp_wrappers
by listmail 23 Jun '09

23 Jun '09

Hi, I've just started using Dovecot (v1.1.14), and I'm noticing a lot of dictionary attacks. I searched through the documentation and the mailing list archives hoping to find support for tcp_wrappers (hosts.deny) support. I did find some suggested patches in the list from last year, but as far as I can tell, there is no support in the released versions. Is this implemented and undocumented, or just unimplemented? I would be surprised to find it unimplemented in such an otherwise sophisticated project. Thanks in advance, --Bill

[Dovecot] A X-Mailbox header?
by Alessandro Ranellucci 23 Jun '09

23 Jun '09

Hi all, I'm waiting for the virtual mailbox feature in order to make a single POP3 access to retrieve messages contained in all my mailbox folders. This is because I use webmail and other IMAP clients but my main workstation uses a POP3-only client. I was wondering if there's a way to keep the name of the folder containing each message while retrieving via POP3. I guess this could be done by dynamically adding a header to messages at retrieval time. Is there a feature for this or a plugin API? Otherwise I was thinking about modifying the messages themselves on the server using a script. However, such a script would need to be run when a IMAP user moves a message to a folder and I believe Dovecot doesn't provide a trigger/hook mechanism. I also don't know if modifying stored messages is allowed since it could break some caching/hashing mechanism. Do you have any idea for this? Thanks in advance and thanks to Timo for the great work! - alessandro.
