[Dovecot] OT: looking for plugin developer
by Tom Bombadil 15 Feb '07

15 Feb '07

Greetings all, We are looking for a developer to write a plugin that copies the message to a specific hidden folder called "spam_copy" when a message inside a folder called "spam" is viewed for the first time. And when we move the message from the "spam" folder to any other folder, and if the message hasn't been seen, we should send a copy of it to "spam_copy" hidden folder, in addition to the move. If anybody is up for it, please send me a private message, so we can arrange all the details, payment, etc... Thanks in advance.

[Dovecot] incorrect quota reporting with dict quota
by Marshal Newrock 14 Feb '07

14 Feb '07

Using the dict quota with dovecot-1.0.rc21, quota reporting was incorrect. It wasn't just that the stored quota was different than the disk usage, but also that each time the quota was checked, it was greater than before, even if no mail was received. I tested this by using telnet to log into an imap account, and issuing multiple "getquotaroot inbox" commands. I have changed to just using maildir quotas, and everything seems correct now. Thanks to dovecot's flexible authentication methods, I'll be able to set an individual account to use the dict quota backend for testing. -- Marshal Newrock, Ideal Solution LLC http://www.idealso.com

[Dovecot] environment variables required for startup
by Marshal Newrock 14 Feb '07

14 Feb '07

Using dovecot-1.0-rc19 (quotas are working good, btw) on Gentoo, I have a strange problem. On boot, dovecot doesn't start, the init script just times out. From the command line, it starts instantly without problem. Also, using a program called 'monit' to make sure processes stay running and restart them if they stop, if I manually stop dovecot, it is then unable to start it (calling the init script). Nothing gets logged. In all cases, it's "/etc/init.d/dovecot start". The only thing I can think of is that there's some environment variable required which isn't being set. monit specifically says it unsets everything except for a basic path before running the start program. Do any environment variables need to be set in order for dovecot to start successfully? -- Marshal Newrock Ideal Solution, LLC - http://www.idealso.com

[Dovecot] migration question: "imap server directory"
by Dan Price 14 Feb '07

14 Feb '07

In prepping our IMAP migration to Dovecot, I've hit upon a small issue: the "IMAP server directory" which Thunderbird users have set in the "advanced" prefs. Our old IMAP server seems to set your current directory to ~. This wound up causing users to set their IMAP server directory to "/home/<user>/mail/" so that their mailboxes would be found: --> A104 LIST "/home/dp/mail/" "%" * LIST (\NoSelect) "/" /home/dp/mail/ * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "/" /home/dp/mail/sent-mail-Jul-2006 * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "/" /home/dp/mail/sent-mail-Dec-2004 ... A104 OK LIST completed Of course, relative paths also work, but it seems that not many users are using them: --> A105 LIST "mail/" "%" * LIST (\NoSelect) "/" mail/ * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "/" mail/sent-mail-Jul-2006 * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "/" mail/sent-mail-Dec-2004 ... A105 OK LIST completed Also, it turns out that some users have mail in "mail" and some in "Mail". So for now, with Dovecot, I've set: mail_location = mbox:~:INBOX=/var/mail/%u:INDEX=%h/Mail/imapd-indices But users with absolute paths are having issues: A102 LIST "/home/dp/mail/" "%" A102 OK List completed. Versus: A103 LIST "mail/" "%" * LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "/" "mail/" * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "/" "mail/sent-mail-Jul-2006" * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "/" "mail/sent-mail-Dec-2004" A103 OK List completed. I've read the MailboxLocation page on the Wiki, but I'm not sure of the best way to proceed and have things stay compatible for my users. It is possible to ask all users to change, but I'm going to have to field a lot of questions if I ask users for that :/ Thanks! -dp -- Daniel Price - Solaris Kernel Engineering - dp(a)eng.sun.com - blogs.sun.com/dp

[Dovecot] info deleted messages imap
by Hola 14 Feb '07

14 Feb '07

Hi! I want to know the number of messages deleted when the mail user connect by IMAP protocol. When the user uses POP, we got this directive in the configuration file: pop3_logout_format = top=%t/%p, retr=%r/%b, del=%d/%m, size=%s This is the log: dovecot: Feb 09 02:31:02 Info: pop3-login: Login: user=<xxxxxx>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured dovecot: Feb 09 02:31:02 Info: POP3(xxxxx): Disconnected: Logged out top=2/3756, retr=0/0, del=0/7, size=17392 If you look at "del=0/7" we know that user deleted 0 messages. When the user log in the account by IMAP protocol, appears the following: dovecot: Feb 09 02:02:36 Info: imap-login: Login: user=<xxxxx>, method=PLAIN, rip=82.xxx.xxx.xxx, lip=82.xxx.xxx.xxx dovecot: Feb 09 02:03:02 Info: IMAP(xxxxx): Disconnected: Logged out And we donÂ´t know the number of messages deleted, the question is: there is any directive like "pop3_logout_format" applied to IMAP?? Something like "imap_logout_format" ?? Dovecot version: 1.0.rc17.

[Dovecot] Rawlogs in freebsd?
by Francisco Reyes 14 Feb '07

14 Feb '07

I am trying to enable rawlogs. I made a directory /home/dovecot/dovecot.rawlog/, changed dovecot.conf to have mail_executable = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/rawlog /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap Made sure the /home/dovecot/dovecot.rawlog/ could be written to. Even made it 1777 as a test. Made sure the FreeBSD user database points /home/dovecot as the dovecot user's directory (left shell as nologin). Compiled dovecot from ports and using Dovecot 1.0.r21. Still no rawlog. Any pointers?

Yes, again! :) I googled this issue but found no solution. Then, simple question - on this moment, it is possible without losing UIDLs or not?
