[Dovecot] Managesieve Quota
by Seth Mattinen 01 Oct '08

01 Oct '08

Has anyone (is anyone) working on adding quota support to dovecot's managesieve server? I was thinking about giving it a shot myself and I'd hate to duplicate work. It would be something very basic like a max bytes setting and the total sieve storage per user isn't allowed to exceed it. ~Seth

[Dovecot] PKI Compliance Dovecot Server
by Amit Thakkar 30 Sep '08

30 Sep '08

Hello, I work for an organization that uses a Secure Dovecot server for messaging, and recently we've had to undergo some security screenings for PKI compliance (credit card industry standards). However, the screening returned to us a failure due to the following reason (attributed to our Dovecot server, which runs on port 993 and is the only "open" port on our firewall): Synopsis : The remote service encrypts traffic using a protocol with known weaknesses. Description : The remote service accepts connections encrypted using SSL 2.0, which reportedly suffers fromseveral cryptographic flaws and has been deprecated for several years. An attacker may be able to exploit these issues to conduct man-in-the-middle attacks or decrypt communications between the affected service and clients. See also : http://www.schneier.com/paper-ssl.pdf Solution: Consult the application's documentation to disable SSL 2.0 and use SSL 3.0 or TLS 1.0 instead. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/216482 for instructions on IIS. See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod _ssl.html for Apache. Risk Factor: Medium / CVSS Base Score : 2 (AV:R/AC:L/Au:NR/C:P/A:N/I:N/B:N) [More] Is there a way that we can disable SSL 2.0 in Dovecot, or force it to use only TLS 1.0 ? Thank You

[Dovecot] dovecot quota messages
by Cosmin Natea 30 Sep '08

30 Sep '08

Hi. I have a question about quota messages (dovecot 1.1.3). I'm trying to use quota messages for moving messages in a new folder when they reach a certain number(10000). I made the script which is called when quota_warning condition is met. Then i made a rule to exclude that folder from quota, quota_rule3:folder:ignore The problem is that this folder is still counted in quota. I don't know if this is a bug or this is how ignore is supposed to work(maybe ignore works only for storage).

[Dovecot] Converting from MBOX to Maildir broke procmail and Spamassasin and halted incoming mail
by Dan Roberts 29 Sep '08

29 Sep '08

I could use some help here - As I use Dovecot I started here when trying to figure out why I could not add new mail folders under my Mac's Mail program, but could under Thunderbird. It was quickly pointed out that my system was set up to use MBOX and not MAILDIR, and some helpful links and notes were sent back and forth giving me a good clue as to how to perform the conversion process. I did have success in getting my mail accounts converted from mbox to maildir, but then ran aground. I could see all of my existing mail and create new folders, but I could not see any of my incoming mail. What I was late in realizing was that I needed to also adjust the settings for my LDA, which as I am using sendmail is procmail, and it was suggested that I needed to adjust /etc/procmail to include the line DEFAULT=$HOME/Maildir/ I did that, but new mail still didn't show up correctly. I can only assume that I have something still not properly adjusted in my procmail settings. Given that I got everything else to work, and even successfully upgraded dovecot, it was very frustrating to set everything back to square one with mbox so that I had a functioning system once again. I am about to have some time on my hands and am going to try again - but this time I thought I would ask for help before I possibly loose my ability to receive new mail - makes reading those suggestions very hard. At present, my etc/procmailrc file is like this. ----------- [dan@trailrunner etc]$ cat procmailrc # send mail through SpamAssassin :0 fw * < 256000 | /usr/bin/spamc -f ----------- In each users Home directory I have a .procmailrc file that further directs things on a user level. For my directory this file is currently --------------- [dan@trailrunner ~]$ cat .procmailrc MAILDIR=$HOME/mail PROBABLYJUNK = /home/dan/mail/probably-spam :O H * ^X-Spam-Status:.*Yes { EXITCODE=67 :0: probably-spam } --------------- I admit that I set up Spamassasin some years ago and though I have updated things now and then, I don't recall all of the reasoning behind the setup - just know that it has been working. Whether I put the new line "DEFAULT=$HOME/Maildir/" in one file, the other or both - I got no incoming mail. My guess was that I had offended promail in one way or another. So, as I prepare to do the MBOX to MAILDIR conversion once again, does anyone have any guidance to offer for how to properly adjust the procmail files so that I can continue to filter spam? Much appreciated. Cheers - dan

[Dovecot] Use bacula to do backups/restores
by martijn＠youngguns.nl 29 Sep '08

29 Sep '08

Hi, I'm already using Bacula for a lot of backups jobs and I also want do backup mail which is stored on a server. The mail is stored in Maildirs which a could backup at filesystem level. But when I restore such a backup strange things happen. My mail client show some mail double and most of the restored mails are unread. I think I'm missing some important IMAP things. Martijn

[Dovecot] fs quota and sieve script - other place for compiled script
by Steffen Kaiser 29 Sep '08

29 Sep '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, lately I deployed a Sieve script for all accounts, even those already overquota. I use fs quota, which leaded to the problem that that the compiled script could not spooled into the home directory - because of the "Over quota" condition. Although Sieve is not directly related to the mail storage, it would be a good thing to have the compiled scripts somewhere in the INDEX= tree or some other non-quota partition. - - I hope that nobody is being able to upload a GB-Sieve script to try to fill the non-quota partition ;-) Bye, - -- Steffen Kaiser -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFI4ImUVJMDrex4hCIRAgw8AJsEPEGIZRd92Y131f5lyBGLwxavvgCgqJ7P MhBmasR6RBgFViuwWAVsiTE= =QuIC -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

[Dovecot] dovecot-1.1.3 failure to install
by tonj 29 Sep '08

29 Sep '08

I'm using Fedora 9 I downloaded dovecot-1.1.3.tar.gz and extracted it. I then opened a terminal in the extracted window. Your install instructions say: For most people, the usual: ./configure make sudo make install but when I did them I got [root@mydomain dovecot-1.1.3]# ./configure checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /bin/mkdir -p checking for gawk... gawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no checking for style of include used by make...

[root@mydomain dovecot-1.1.3]# make make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. [root@mydomain dovecot-1.1.3]# sudo make install make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop. [root@mydomain dovecot-1.1.3]# can you tell me why the install won't work? thanks for any advice.
