[Dovecot] automaticly move expunded emails to trash Folder
by Wilfried BARNAVON (Perso) 03 Mar '07

03 Mar '07

Hi I try to migrate from courier to Dovecot. Is there a way to get the same behaviour of Courier-imap with dovecot, about expunged emails ? I though about using the Lazy-Expunge plugin. The problem with this plugin is the following: messages are moved and set to be deleted in the Trash Folder. I would like they weren't set to be deleted. Is there a way to mitigate the behaviour of this plugin, or is there another plugin having this task in charge ? Thanks Wilfried BARNAVON

[Dovecot] Struggle with Postfix/Dovecot-auth and SASL
by Ingo Reimann 03 Mar '07

03 Mar '07

Hi List, I just updated an old sendmail installation to a modern postfix/dovecot system with mysql backend. Everything works fine but SMTP-AUTH fails with some clients. The problem is, that with PLAIN (old) clients send the base64 coded form: USERNAME\0USERNAME\0PASSWORD which, as i understand dovecot interprets as MASTERUSER\0USERNAME\PASSWORD. New clients send \0USERNAME\0PASSWORD which works fine. I don`t like to use masterusers, because then everyone would be able to log in as someone else. When i don`t have a passdb with master=yes in my dovecot.conf, Dovecot complains auth(default): passdb(XXXX(a)YYY.TLD,master): Attempted master login with no master passdbs If i create a passdb with contains everyone, everyone may look into other mailboxes. No good idea. I can`t change the old clients, but for now, i don`t know, what i am doing wrong or how to correct it. No real HowTo for my setup on the net, it seems that everyone uses cyrus-sasl. May anybody help, because i don`t like to switch my setup or use 2 auth daemons. My System: Debian Etch, postfix (2.3.7-3), dovecot (1.0.rc15-2) Best wishes, Ingo Reimann System Manager -------------------------------------------------------------------- ICSmedia GmbH in Münster: Soester Straße 13, 48155 Münster in Dortmund: Mönchenwordt 5, 44137 Dortmund im Internet: http://www.icsmedia.de Telefon: (0251) 60 60-403 Telefax: (0251) 60 60-190 E-Mail: ingo.reimann(a)icsmedia.de -------------------------------------------------------------------- Geschäftsführung: Frank Wulf Sitz der Gesellschaft: Münster Amtsgericht: Münster HRB: 46 97

[Dovecot] Stopping certain users from using IMAP, or POP3, etc.
by David Craigon 02 Mar '07

02 Mar '07

Hi there, I'm building a mail system for an ISP. We want to be able to turn on or off IMAP or POP3 access for certain customers- basically we want to be able to offer a customer POP3 access, unless they pay us some more money, in which case they get IMAP The username and password will remain the same, and are driven out of a postgres database. The best way I've though of doing this so far is by defining separate auth systems for IMAP and POP. Is this the best way? A gold star is available if you can think of a way that if they try and use IMAP but haven't paid for it it rejects them with "Give us all your money..." or some such.

[Dovecot] Doing %var-substitutions in a plugin...
by Nicolas Boullis 02 Mar '07

02 Mar '07

Hi, I'm trying to write a plugin that need to do some %var-substitution. Is there a way to get the var_expand_table used by the process? If not, I guess I could use getenv("USER") (for %u, %n and %d) and getenv("HOME") (for %h); but what for the other ones? Cheers, Nicolas

[Dovecot] Thunderbird : open() failed with index file /home/XYZ/mail/.imap/Trash/dovecot.index: Not a directory
by Charles Bueche 02 Mar '07

02 Mar '07

Hi, almost everything is in the subject. Server : Solaris 9 /SPARC, Dovecot 1.0.rc22 Client : Mac OS X 10.4.8 (8L2127) Kernel-Version: Darwin 8.8.1 Thunderbird is: german Version 1.5.0.9 (20061207) With OS X Mail.app, message deletion works. With Thunderbird, a warning popup appear on the desktop. English translation is about "command failed, internal error occurred". The server log shows : > Mar 1 10:50:35 ZZZ dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.error] IMAP(XYZ): open > () failed with index file /home/XYZ/mail/.imap/Trash/dovecot.index: > Not a directory After checking, I see "Trash plugin was more or less broken with multiple namespaces and with multiple trash mailboxes" in rc24 release notes. Would an update to rc24 fix my user's issue ? Hints welcome, Charles -- Charles Bueche <charles(a)bueche.ch> sand, snow, wave, wind and net -surfer A-Cat SUI 192
