[Dovecot] Mail statistics
by Timo Sirainen 29 Apr '09

29 Apr '09

I just committed a mail statistics gathering patch to v1.2: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.2/rev/fdaf0bda70d5 It keeps track of: struct mail_private { .. /* open(), stat(), .. */ unsigned long stats_dentry_lookup_count; /* fstat() mostly */ unsigned long stats_attr_lookup_count; /* number of files we've opened and read */ unsigned long stats_files_read_count; /* number of bytes we've had to read from files */ unsigned long long stats_files_read_bytes; /* number of cache lookup hits */ unsigned long stats_cache_hit_count; So it's possible to write a plugin that does whatever with those values. You can get them per-command or even per-single-mail-access. Any thoughts on if those are good variables? Like would it be useful to split dentry lookups to opens and stats?

[Dovecot] Virtual mailbox plugin, 4 days of struggling
by Brandon Lamb 28 Apr '09

28 Apr '09

Hello, I finally got an INBOX to work, but is virtual mailbox plugin only meant to create a virtual inbox, or should I be able to have an Allmails virtual folder that is viewable in my imap client? if ~/virtual/ is my location, would I create an Allmails directory in the virtual/ or virtual/INBOX/Allmails. Im fairly confused on how this is suppose to work. I was trying to duplicate the gmail-like setup on the wiki but I cant get it work. Per the wiki, i put in the userdb inbox select, but made swapped pop3 for imap zeus:/etc/dovecot# dovecot -n # 1.2.rc3: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.26-1-amd64 x86_64 Debian squeeze/sid base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/ log_path: /var/log/dovecot/dovecot.log info_log_path: /var/log/dovecot/info.log log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: imap pop3 lda listen: 208.200.251.181 ssl: no disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /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 login_greeting: Hello there. login_log_format_elements: <%u> <%r> login_log_format: %s login_process_per_connection: no login_process_size: 128 login_processes_count: 4 login_max_processes_count: 20 login_max_connections: 128 mail_max_userip_connections(default): 15 mail_max_userip_connections(imap): 15 mail_max_userip_connections(pop3): 1 verbose_proctitle: yes first_valid_uid: 8 last_valid_uid: 8 first_valid_gid: 8 last_valid_gid: 8 mail_access_groups: mail mail_privileged_group: mail mail_uid: 8 mail_gid: 8 mail_location: maildir:~/:INDEX=dovecot-index mailbox_idle_check_interval: 60 mail_debug: yes fsync_disable: yes mailbox_list_index_disable: no 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): quota imap_quota virtual autocreate mail_plugins(imap): quota imap_quota virtual autocreate mail_plugins(pop3): quota 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 mail_log_prefix: %Ls <%u>: imap_client_workarounds(default): outlook-idle delay-newmail imap_client_workarounds(imap): outlook-idle delay-newmail imap_client_workarounds(pop3): pop3_no_flag_updates(default): no pop3_no_flag_updates(imap): no pop3_no_flag_updates(pop3): yes pop3_client_workarounds(default): pop3_client_workarounds(imap): pop3_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh pop3_logout_format(default): top=%t/%p, retr=%r/%b, del=%d/%m, size=%s pop3_logout_format(imap): top=%t/%p, retr=%r/%b, del=%d/%m, size=%s pop3_logout_format(pop3): retr=%r/%b, del=%d/%m, size=%s namespace: type: private separator: / hidden: yes list: yes subscriptions: yes namespace: type: private separator: / prefix: virtual/ location: virtual:~/virtual:INDEX=~/dovecot-index list: yes subscriptions: yes namespace: type: private separator: / prefix: RealMails/ hidden: yes list: no subscriptions: yes auth default: mechanisms: plain login default_realm: pacwebdev.com cache_ttl: 60 debug: yes worker_max_count: 60 passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: prefetch userdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf socket: type: listen client: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-client mode: 438 user: mail group: mail master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 438 user: mail group: mail plugin: quota: maildir quota_rule: Trash:ignore quota_rule2: Sent:ignore quota_rule3: Spam:ignore quota_rule4: Archive:ignore quota_rule5: Sent Items:ignore quota_rule6: Deleted Items:ignore quota_warning: storage=95%% /etc/dovecot/quota-warning.sh 95 quota_warning2: storage=80%% /etc/dovecot/quota-warning.sh 80 autocreate: Trash autocreate2: Spam autosubscribe: Trash autosubscribe2: Spam auth_socket_path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master

[Dovecot] Dovecot auth user lookup patch for maildrop
by mr.maX 26 Apr '09

26 Apr '09

Hi, recently I started using maildrop as a MDA doing lightweight filtering in a Postfix/Dovecot mail server combo. Only thing missing was the fact that maildrop couldn't perform user lookups against a user database that was already being served by Dovecot (for smtp auth in Postfix and for imap access obviously) in order to easily determinate proper mailbox location and home directory of my "virtual" users when delivering e-mails. I wanted to avoid having another authentication daemon running (Courier Authlib) that would be serving this data to maildrop, so I've spent some time to write an extension for maildrop that would allow it to do user lookups directly against Dovecot in a similar way how they are done by Dovecot's LDA deliver. For everyone that are using maildrop in a similar setup that may be interested in this extension, a patch against maildrop version 2.0.4 can be downloaded from the following location: http://www.max.rs/ozone/maildrop-2.0.4-dovecotauth.patch.txt When this patch is applied, maildrop will be extended with another command line option "-t", which can be used to specify the location of Dovecot's master auth socket that will be used when performing user lookups. There's a readme file (README.dovecotauth) together with patch with a little bit more information regarding the use of this extension. I hope that some of you may find my modification to maildrop useful. -- Best Regards, Marko Njezic - mr.maX @ MAX Interactive corp.
