[Dovecot] Asterisks (*) in Folder Names disallowed?
by Daniel W 26 Jun '06

26 Jun '06

As far as I can see the RFC for IMAP should allow the * character in the folder name. This is certainly allowed in UW IMAP. Dovecot seems to object however with: ERROR : Could not complete request. Query: COPY 9975:9975 "mail/*myfolder" Reason Given: Invalid mailbox name. Could this restriction be lifted? Best wishes, Daniel

Dear All I encountered some problem while i tried to configure Dovecot with LDAP. configuration directory: /usr/local/src/dovecot-1.0.beta8 configure command: ./configure CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib --with-ldap /usr/local/include# ls -F lber.h lber_types.h ldap.h ldap_cdefs.h ldap_features.h ldap_schema.h ldap_utf8.h openssl/ slapi-plugin.h /usr/local/lib# ls *.a libcrypto.a liblber.a libldap.a libldap_r.a libssl.a My configure output: Install prefix ...................... : /usr/local File offsets ........................ : 64bit I/O loop method ..................... : poll File change notification method ..... : dnotify Building with SSL support ........... : no Building with IPv6 support .......... : yes Building with pop3 server ........... : yes Building with GSSAPI support ........ : no Building with user database modules . : static prefetch passwd passwd-file checkpassword (modules) Building with password lookup modules : passwd passwd-file shadow pam checkpassword (modules) Building with SQL drivers ............: It does not seem to have LDAP configured. Did i miss out something on the configure options? or is there any PATH that i need to specify? Hope to hear from you soon! Thanking in advance. Joshua

[Dovecot] trying to build dovecot-sieve
by Sergey Ivanov 26 Jun '06

26 Jun '06

Hi, I'm trying to compile dovecot with dovecot-sieve, both from CVS. There is file dovecot-config.in.in in current dovecot module, which produce dovecot-config.in after ./configure'ing. But dovecot-sieve requires file dovecot-config to be in dovecot's directory. I think it is just typo, because after renaming dovecot-config.in to dovecot-config the building succeeded. -- Sergey Ivanov

[Dovecot] quotas on shared folders
by Nicolas Boullis 26 Jun '06

26 Jun '06

Hi, After using dovecot 0.99.14 on a production server with full satisfaction, I'm now giving a try to 1.0beta8 (I know beta9 is out, but it's not yet available within Debian). The new features are great. Maildir++ quotas seem to work fine, and shared folders look promising (despite a few issues). My problem is that I could not fire out how to set quotas on shared folders. Is it possible? Cheers, Nicolas

[Dovecot] [PATCH, RFC 0/13] OTP: add auth_cache_remove()
by Andrey Panin 26 Jun '06

26 Jun '06

This patchset add support for One-Time-Password authentication mechanisms, both S/Key (RFC 1731) and OTP (RFC 2444) are implemented. Tested with mutt (uses cyrus sasl library for authentication). Patches were made against CVS HEAD. Please take a look. Add auth_cache_remove() function which will be used by OTP code to evict old entries from auth cache. diff -urdpNX /usr/share/dontdiff -x Makefile dovecot.vanilla/src/auth/auth-cache.c dovecot/src/auth/auth-cache.c --- dovecot.vanilla/src/auth/auth-cache.c 2006-06-23 13:42:22.122508080 +0400 +++ dovecot/src/auth/auth-cache.c 2006-06-23 13:44:30.945923944 +0400 @@ -226,3 +226,22 @@ void auth_cache_insert(struct auth_cache cache->size_left -= alloc_size; hash_insert(cache->hash, node->data, node); } + +void auth_cache_remove(struct auth_cache *cache, + const struct auth_request *request, + const char *key) +{ + string_t *str; + struct cache_node *node; + + str = t_str_new(256); + var_expand(str, key, + auth_request_get_var_expand_table(request, + auth_request_str_escape)); + + node = hash_lookup(cache->hash, str_c(str)); + if (node == NULL) + return; + + auth_cache_node_destroy(cache, node); +} diff -urdpNX /usr/share/dontdiff -x Makefile dovecot.vanilla/src/auth/auth-cache.h dovecot/src/auth/auth-cache.h --- dovecot.vanilla/src/auth/auth-cache.h 2006-06-23 13:42:22.122508080 +0400 +++ dovecot/src/auth/auth-cache.h 2006-06-23 13:44:30.945923944 +0400 @@ -27,4 +27,9 @@ void auth_cache_insert(struct auth_cache const struct auth_request *request, const char *key, const char *value); +/* Remove key from cache */ +void auth_cache_remove(struct auth_cache *cache, + const struct auth_request *request, + const char *key); + #endif

In addition to mutt I've tested sylpheed and it is also delete messages from server correctly, i.e. they are removed from filesystem

[Dovecot] problem with dovecot and thunderbird while deleting
by the.buratino＠rambler.ru 26 Jun '06

26 Jun '06

Hello! I have very strange problem with dovecot and thunderbird while deleting messages. The problem is that they are not actually deleted from storage filesystem and if I later run mutt I can perfectly see them, though marked with 'D', so mutt ask to delete them on exit and this time they dissapear from filesystem. I enabled in thunderbird 'remove it iimediately' feature, but this doesn't help. When I delete message from mutt it removed from filesystem just fine. IMAP server: OS: FreeBSD 6.1p2 dovecot: dovecot-1.0.b9 Client: OS: Debian sarge Thunderbird: thunderbird 1.5.0.4 (from backports.org) Any suggestions ?

When I do a search in squirrelmail, it will start giving several results, but then fails. I use squirrelmail via https. maillog reveils: file message-body-search.c: line 391 (message_body_search_ctx): assertion failed: (input->v_offset <= part->physical_pos) Squirrel mail browser interface reveils: ERROR: Connection dropped by IMAP server.

I just cut-over to CentOS4.3 (fresh install) from FC1 and this is the first bug which I have never seen before. Never have used Dovecot before.

[Dovecot] Dovecot with Imp problems
by Neil Wilson 26 Jun '06

26 Jun '06

Hi guys, I've run into a strange problem using beta 8 and beta 9 when using the latest version of Horde/IMP Through IMP, I can see that there are messages in the maildir on the sidemenu(popup menu) but the emails don't show in my actual inbox. I thought this was an IMP problem, but then I downgraded to dovecot 99 series RPM and this resolved the problem. I was seeing the following error in my logs, when I tried to log into a mailbox through IMP. Jun 21 09:22:46 mail dovecot: IMAP(davew): file index-mail.c: line 105 (index_mail_get_fixed_field): assertion failed: (buffer_get_used_size(buf) == data_size) Jun 21 09:22:46 mail dovecot: child 6217 (imap) killed with signal 6 Thanks, I hope this helps.
