[Dovecot] Problem with dovecot 1.0 make

When trying to build dovecot with MySQL support I got the following: /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.a(sha1.o)(.text+0x5c): In function `sha1_result': : multiple definition of `sha1_result' ../lib/liblib.a(sha1.o)(.text+0x880):/root/dovecot-1.0.alpha3/src/lib/sha1.c:233: first defined here /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-slackware-linux/3.3.4/../../../../i486-slackware-linux/bin/ld: Warning: size of symbol `sha1_result' changed from 158 in ../lib/liblib.a(sha1.o) to 126 in /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.a(sha1.o) collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[3]: *** [dovecot-auth] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/root/dovecot-1.0.alpha3/src/auth' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/dovecot-1.0.alpha3/src' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/dovecot-1.0.alpha3' make: *** [all] Error 2 Any thoughts?

[Dovecot] --enable-debug in 1.0beta8
by Mircea Nistor 13 May '06

It looks like there is an error in calling check_nuls for DEBUG In src/lib/ mempool-alloconly.c on line 85 you have check_nuls(block->prev, 0), which I think it should be check_nuls(block->prev); Can some developer confirm that?

[Dovecot] SASL bind for LDAP
by Geert Jansen 13 May '06

13 May '06

Hi, would it be possible to add support for SASL binds to dovecot's LDAP userdb/passdb? This would be a nice feature as it would allow the use of SASL EXTERNAL binds to a local LDAP server, thereby removing the need for storing clear-text passwords in configuration files. Regards, Geert

[Dovecot] LDA Sieve feature request
by Luca Corti 13 May '06

13 May '06

Hello, In http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA I read # If there is no user-specific Sieve-script, global Sieve script is # executed if set. #global_script_path = so you can set global_script_path and override it using a per user script. It would be nice if the per user scripts could be optionally run after (or before maybe?) the global script. Another nice thing would be per-virtualdomain sieve scripts, but I think this is much more difficult. What do you think? -- Luca Corti PGP Key ID 1F38C091 BOFH excuse of the moment: The Borg tried to assimilate your system. Resistance is futile.

[Dovecot] 1.0.beta8 released
by Timo Sirainen 12 May '06

12 May '06

Next release will probably be called 1.0.rc1. People just don't seem to like the beta name in the version number. :) Also I think we're nearing the final v1.0. * Fixed a security hole with mbox: "1 LIST .. *" command could list all directories and files under the mbox root directory, so if your mails were stored in eg. /var/mail/%u/ directory, the command would list everything under /var/mail. + Unless nfs_check=no or mmap_disable=yes, check for the first login if the user's index directory exists in NFS mount. If so, refuse to run. This is done only on first login to avoid constant extra overhead. + If we have plugins set and imap_capability unset, figure out the IMAP capabilities automatically by running imap binary at startup. The generated capability list isn't updated until Dovecot is restarted completely, so if you add or remove IMAP plugins you should restart. If you have problems related to this, set imap_capabilities setting manually to work around it. + Added auth_username_format setting - pop3_lock_session setting wasn't really working - Lots of fixes related to quota handling. It's still not working perfectly though. - Lots of index handling fixes, especially with mmap_disable=yes - Maildir: saving mails could have sometimes caused "Append with UID n, but next_uid = m" errors - flock() locking never timeouted because ignoring SIGALRM caused the system call just to be restarted when SIGALRM occurred (probably not with all OSes though?) - kqueue: Fixed "Unrecognized event".

[Dovecot] userdb prefetch not working with dovecot LDA?
by Luca Corti 12 May '06

12 May '06

Hello, I've configured MySQL authentication as follows. -- divecot-sql.conf -- driver = mysql connect = host=localhost dbname=postfix user=myuser password=mypass default_pass_scheme = PLAIN password_query = SELECT password FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' user_query = SELECT CONCAT('/var/vmail/', maildir, 'Maildir') AS home, '1234' AS uid, '1234' AS gid FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' -- dovecot.conf -- passdb sql { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf } userdb sql { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf } And both access (IMAP) and delivery (LDA) work correctly. Now I want to setup prefetching to reduce SQL queries, so I did -- dovecot-sql.conf -- driver = mysql connect = host=localhost dbname=postfix user=myuser password=mypass default_pass_scheme = PLAIN password_query = SELECT password, CONCAT('/var/vmail/', maildir, 'Maildir') AS userdb_home, '1234' AS userdb_uid, '1234' AS userdb_gid FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' -- dovecot.conf -- passdb sql { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf } userdb prefetch { } Dovecot mail access (IMAP) works correctly, but when the LDA tries to deliver mail I get: May 11 16:25:00 ns1 dovecot: auth(default): prefetch(luca(a)example.com): passdb didn't return userdb entries May 11 16:25:00 ns1 postfix/pipe[11040]: 21E31847BC: to=<luca(a)example.com>, relay=dovecot, delay=0, status=bounced (user unknown) thanks -- Luca Corti PGP Key ID 1F38C091 BOFH excuse of the moment: user to computer ration too low.

[Dovecot] dovecot-lda and sieve filtering (SMTP is Postfix)
by Der Olli 12 May '06

12 May '06

Hello list. I've got a working Dovecot with Postfix and MySQL-support but everything from the capabilities of sieve isn't working except one thing: Sorting emails to folders works fine. But no vacation, no reject, no redirect. I don't get any errors in the logs. Verbose logging is enabled. I compiled both from newest cvs-sources but also tried older combinations (nightly snapshots). Always the same result and there's no .dovecot.sieve.err so script is okay. If it is not, .dovecot.sieve.err will be generated. I've tested this :) Anyone here who has a working sieve implementation with dovecot-lda? Where do I have to search? Is it a configuration problem? Where can I configure which sending mechanism dovecot-lda should use? Is it a local sendmail binary? Where does dovecot-lda search for it. Is it a SMTP-server? So there's one on port 25 at the local machine. Greetz, Olli
