Hello Everybody, I´m trying to make a work with procmail and deliver on Fedora 7. Part of flow are the following: - procmail get the mail from Sendmail - procmail ask to deliver/dovecot if have any retriction (sizer mailbox, etc) - procmail put the mail on inbox user. I had include the following line in the promail config: | "/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -m $DEFAULT" and the procmail log shows me the following : procmail: Assigning "MAILDIR=/home/admin/mail" procmail: Assigning "INCLUDERC=/home/admin/Procmail/rc.spam-mail" procmail: Couldn't determine implicit lockfile from "/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver" procmail: Locking ".lock" procmail: Executing "/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver,-m,/var/spool/mail/admin" procmail: Non-zero exitcode (75) from "/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver" procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -m /var/spool/mail/admin" procmail: Unlocking ".lock" procmail: Skipped "* ^X-Spam-Status:.*Yes" procmail: Skipped "spam" procmail: Skipped "-mail" procmail: Locking "/var/spool/mail/admin.lock" procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=/var/spool/mail/admin" procmail: Opening "/var/spool/mail/admin" procmail: Acquiring kernel-lock procmail: Unlocking "/var/spool/mail/admin.lock" procmail: Notified comsat: "admin@556:/var/spool/mail/admin" From admin(a)itcon.com.br Mon Feb 18 17:52:38 2008 Subject: Fw: tessss22 Folder: /var/spool/mail/admin 3425 What happen afertall?

[Dovecot] warning: connect to transport dovecot: No such file or directory
by David Koski 19 Feb '08

19 Feb '08

I have installed postfix, dovecot, mysql as per: http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/DovecotLDAPostfixAdminMySQL ..on Debian Etch. I thought mailboxes were created by postfixadmin or postfix but I only get an error: warning: connect to transport dovecot: No such file or directory ..in the postfix log. No /var/vmail/example.com is created. After creating the domain directory and user directory, applying correct ownership, still it made no difference. I checked my main.cf: virtual_mailbox_base = /var/vmail Any clues? Thanks! David Koski david(a)kosmosisland.com

[Dovecot] 1.0.10 / Quota postlogin / Deliver - Not working according to the wiki?
by Tobias Balle-Petersen 19 Feb '08

19 Feb '08

Hello.... I load quotas from users homefolders using postlogin like this: ------------------------- #!/bin/sh # Read users quota if [ -f ~/quota ]; then export QUOTA=`cat ~/quota` fi # Start IMAP session exec /usr/lib/dovecot/imap ------------------------- User without a quota-file in their homedirs get a quota set in dovecot.conf. Im using LDA. According to the wiki this should not work: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Quota?highlight=quota : This post-login trick unfortunately doesn't work with deliver <http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA>. If you need it, you're pretty much out of luck for now. v1.1 *quota* <http://wiki.dovecot.org/Quota/New> makes this possible. According to my tests it does indeed work. What is not supposed to work? Tobias

[Dovecot] Duplicate Messages, Different X-UIDs?
by Joe Allesi -X (joallesi - Coyote Creek Consulting at Cisco) 19 Feb '08

19 Feb '08

We're running into an issue where sendmail is only receiving one e-mail, but after a client accesses the message via IMAP and moves it to another IMAP folder, the message duplicates but each message has different X-UID headers. Has anyone ever seen this type of anomaly before? Is it a bad IMAP client, or a known bug? Running 1.0.7 Thanks!

[Dovecot] Set up shared mailboxes for secretary-boss-relationship
by Steffen Kaiser 19 Feb '08

19 Feb '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, some users are to read other users mailboxes (secretary-boss relationship), in order to filter out minor issues, SPAM, appointment requests etc. pp. The "boss" wants to see/access his/her mailbox the usual way, no fancy stuff. Furthermore, this is a N:N relationship, meaning one user needs to read one set of user's mailboxes, another user needs to read another set of mailboxes; both may or may not overlap. My idle solution would be to create some name space or a special "shared" directory in the secretary's Maildir/home dir and symlink the Maildir of all the "boss"'s Maildir roots. Because only the "secretary" shall use/see the definition, I'm not to make one namespace per relationship, but predefine one namespace and issue the path via userdb, right? Does somebody has some setup of this sort running? Are there some differences in v1.1 in this aspect? Currently I've setup that the secretaries connect with the real account of the boss(es), what is not good in my eyes, the secretaries should use their own accounts accessing the mails.

[Dovecot] quota doesn't work?
by Mauro Sanna 19 Feb '08

19 Feb '08

I'm using dovecot 1.0.rc15 with debian etch. In dovecot.conf I have set mail_plugins = quota imap_quota for imap mail_plugins = quota for pop3 and quota = maildir:storage=10240. I seems that it doesn't work 'cause I send messages over 10M and it doesn't block my maildir box. I have to do something more?

[Dovecot] 1.0.10 - Getting user-quota from an Apple Open Directory?
by Tobias Balle-Petersen 19 Feb '08

Hello.... I'm running dovecot 1.0.10 with users in an LDAP database (Apples Open Directory). In Open Directory, a users mail-info is saved as XML-formated data in the field apple-user-mailattribute as seen below. I want to extract the value key "kUserDiskQuota". Nay ideas on how to accomplish this? <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <dict> <key>kAPOPRequired</key> <string>APOPNotRequired</string> <key>kAltMailStoreLoc</key> <string></string> <key>kAttributeVersion</key> <string>Apple Mail 1.0</string> <key>kAutoForwardValue</key> <string></string> <key>kIMAPLoginState</key> <string>IMAPAllowed</string> <key>kMailAccountLocation</key> <string>blah.example.com</string> <key>kMailAccountState</key> <string>Enabled</string> <key>kPOP3LoginState</key> <string>POP3Deny</string> <key>kUserDiskQuota</key> <string>500</string> </dict> Thanks, Tobias

[Dovecot] Passwordless Login Auth
by JL 19 Feb '08

19 Feb '08

I have Dovecot 1.0.5 running imaps successfully with Postfix on Ubuntu. Authorization is by SASL. Currently, my mail client (mutt) requests a password to access my folders. I would like to configure Dovecot so that a user logged into the localhost (i.e., already authenticated) does not receive the password prompt. Remote logins should of course demand the authentication, but if I'm logged into the server via SSH, for example, I'd like to be able to run mutt without the password prompt. Is this a viable proposition? Here is a relevant snippet from dovecot.conf: auth default { mechanisms = plain login passdb pam { } userdb passwd { } socket listen { client { path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode = 0660 user = postfix group = postfix } } } TIA -- JL <lists(a)jorge.cc>

[Dovecot] mail server management
by Paul A 18 Feb '08

18 Feb '08

Hi, this is sort of off topic but I'm using dovecot with postfix on centos 5 and I have multiple virtual domains and I want to be able to have virtual admin's add/remove mappings/users for their own domains. I have looked around and haven't found many solutions just wondering what everyone is using for virtual mail management. TIA, Paul
