[Dovecot] Deliver-Problem
by Michael Schröder 21 Sep '06

21 Sep '06

Hi, I installed a Emailserver based on Debian Sarge, exim (4.50-8sarge2) and dovecot (1.0.rc2-1bpo1). Delivering Mails with Exim to my Maildir works fine. Because I want to filter my messages with Sieve, I tried to deliver mails with deliver, but get the following error message (example with a testmail and user "Debian-exim", not delivered via Exim): --8<-- dovecot: 2006-09-19 13:17:23 Error: auth(default): deliver(username(a)domain.tld): "2006-09-19 13:17:23 "Fatal: setgid(1003) failed: Operation not permitted --8<-- Here's the relevant part of my configuration file: --8<-- auth default { mechanisms = plain login passdb sql { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf } userdb sql { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf } socket listen { master { path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode = 0660 user = virtual group = virtual } } } --8<-- User "Debian-exim" is in the same group as user "virtual".

by Amadou Toure 21 Sep '06

21 Sep '06

hello, I have submitted a few weeks ago problem on sieve implementantion but there not useful solution for me at this time. I think that it depend on my mail architecture : _One NFS server _two dovecot POP/IMAP server (for pop and webmail access) : the POP/IMAP don't run dovecot LDA _two delivery serveur with exim and dovecot LDA : they communicate with external relay servers and deliver mail in box. The mailbox format is maildir and the dovecot version is 1.0 rc2 Question : On which server and how to implement sieve for dovecot. Regards Amadou TOURE

[Dovecot] Problems restoring from dump
by Paul Lathrop 21 Sep '06

21 Sep '06

Hello all, First, the vital stats: FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE, dovecot 1.0.rc7 from ports. I have run into a vexing little problem that has brought my deployment of a shiny new dovecot server to a screeching halt. Using 'periodic' I've configured regular backups to occur using 'dump'. I have a monthly level 0, a weekly level 4, and a daily level 8. These dumps take advantage of snapshots to ensure they are taking a backup of a consistent filesystem. As part of the beta testing, I decided to delete my maildir and attempt to recover from the dumps. Recovery went well, as dump/restore is a wonderful piece of software. I did a quick check at the file level to be sure my mailbox looked like it had when I took the last level 8 dump, and everything looked good. The problem came when I started up Thunderbird to take a look at my mail. When I selected a message, say one that said "knockout daily run output", I'd be reading a different message entirely, like a recent email from my boss! Most of the messages were like this - hopelessly scrambled! I tried just deleting the account in Thunderbird and connecting again, but that didn't change a thing. What happened!? Dump has faithfully restored the files, including the dovecot indexes... so why are my messages scrambled? Thanks for your help, Paul

[Dovecot] Corrupt mbox folders after migration from uw-imap
by Ian Mortimer 20 Sep '06

20 Sep '06

After migrating our mail server from uw-imap to dovecot at the weekend we've had a few corrupted mbox folders. I assume this is due to messages with bad Content-length headers. Is there any way of checking the Content-length of messages in mbox folders? Thanks -- Ian
