[Dovecot] Courier->dovecot migration script
by Warren Baker 22 Jan '09

22 Jan '09

HI All, We have the latest Dovecot 1.1.6 running and I need to migrate some POP3 users over from Courier to Dovecot and would need to convert the courierpop3dsizelist to maintain the UIDs. I just need to confirm that the script (http://www.dovecot.org/tools/courier-dovecot-migrate.pl) only works for Dovecot v1.0 and not for v1.1? As the dovecout-uidlist file that is created (by the script) is not in the same format as dovecot-uidlist file that is created by the 1.1.6 server. Thanks, Warren

by Frank Bonnet 22 Jan '09

Hello folks An Apple user here have troubles between Dovecot and its Apple mail client that presents ALL attachements inline inside emails instead of "Attachements" the problem occurs only when using IMAP , when using POP3 attachements appears as they are supposed to do. I would like to know if other Apple users in this list has experienced and solved that problem , the machine in running MacOS 10.5 Thanks a lot. -- Cordialement Frank Bonnet ESIEE Paris

[Dovecot] docecot managesieve global filter, service name
by Wolfgang.Friebel＠desy.de 21 Jan '09

21 Jan '09

I do have two questions related to the managesieve setup in dovecot 1) I did setup a global sieve filter, that is invoked if a user has no other sieve filter. If a user installs a sieve filter and activates it (PUTSCRIPT, SETACTIVE) then the sieve filter gets compiled (.sievec) and deliver does use it. If I want to deactivate the filter (SETACTIVE "") only the symlink (to the .sieve script) is removed, the .sievec file remains intact. On the other hand the dovecot documentation reads (http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve) To stop using sieve, both the .sieve source file and the compiled .sievec file must be deleted How can I let a user switch between the globally installed sieve filter and an own filter. Activation seems to be ok, but deactivation would not result in the switch back to the global filter if I believe the docs. 2) To use the SASL authentication with managesieve the name of the service has to be given. In the managesieve RFC http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-sieve-managesieve-09 I can read (page13): The service name specified by this protocol's profile of SASL is "sieve". On the other hand I can find in managesieve-0.10.4 in client-authenticate.c #define MANAGESIEVE_SERVICE_NAME "managesieve" The name is important for the Kerberos5 auth I am doing, as I have to provide a service key for managesieve.hostname@REALM instead of sieve.hostname@REALM. Currently I have adapted my auth to the "managesieve" service name but maybe that should be changed. My Installation: dovecot 1.1.8 patched for dovecot-1.1-managesieve-0.10.4 Authentication using SASL (GSSAPI), contained in the perl Module Net::ManageSieve on CPAN. -- Wolfgang Friebel Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY Phone/Fax: +49 33762 77372/216 Platanenallee 6 Mail: Wolfgang.Friebel AT desy.de D-15738 Zeuthen Germany

[Dovecot] How to interpret quota log entries?
by Pascal Volk 21 Jan '09

Hi, I've configured a global quota rule, with low limits for testing purpose: quota_rule = *:storage=10M:messages=10 Why is the percentage value always 0? What does 'enforcing' mean in this context?

[Dovecot] Questions regarding Dovecot's POP3 implementation
by Dale Gallagher 21 Jan '09

21 Jan '09

Hi all I'm considering moving over my POP3 service from qmail-pop3d to Dovecot for the following reasons: - Support for Maildir++ which I have yet to implement - Already using Dovecot for IMAP, so makes sense i.t.o Maildir++ - Support for SQL based user authentication My primary concerns are performance and security. Before I go down that route of migrating away from qmail-pop3d, I'd appreciate some answers and feedback on the following. There is mention of the Maildir filename extension W= for virtual file size here: http://wiki.dovecot.org/POP3Server However, I can't find any MDAs which support writing the filename in this format. Maildrop seems to support S= only? If Dovecot is only able to read W= in the filename, I would imagine that it might make sense to have an MDA like Maildrop write the message to disk, replacing all LF with CR+LF and finally write the filename with identical S= and W= filename extensions included? Example: Maildrop replaces all LFs with CR+LF in incoming message. Maildrop writes message as: 1035478339.27041_118.foo.org,S=1000,W=1000 (where 1000 is the file's RFC822.SIZE) Then Dovecot doesn't have to calculate virtual message sizes. I've also found this thread: http://markmail.org/message/oznf2f7m7hvsxqn6 ... which suggests changing mail_get_virtual_size to mail_get_physical_size in src/pop3/client.c Would this read the size from S=, or do a stat()? 5. Does anyone use Dovecot pop3 service on thousands of mailboxes and if so, what specific tweaks / setup do you use? Thanks Dale

[Dovecot] deliver rejection bounces
by Timo Sirainen 21 Jan '09

21 Jan '09

Is there any reason not to make (for v1.2) 1) deliver -e behavior the defaut? 2) not even provide the option for the current default (have deliver send bounces itself)? The only reason it even works like it does currently is because I just mostly copied what Cyrus did.
