special-use for virtual folder
by Wolfgang Rosenauer 02 Jun '16

02 Jun '16

Hi, I'm running two different Dovecot servers (actually more but those are pretty similar and same versions 2.2.24). Today I configured a virtual All folder on both: namespace { location = virtual:/etc/dovecot/virtual:INDEX=~/virtual prefix = virtual. separator = . } mailbox virtual.All { special_use = \All } On this system the special-use flag is not applied to the folder (checked via LIST "" "*"). On the other system: namespace { location = virtual:/etc/dovecot/virtual:INDEX=~/virtual prefix = virtual/ separator = / } mailbox virtual/All { special_use = \All } On the second system I can see * LIST (\HasNoChildren \All) "/" virtual/All Besides the separator I don't see a big difference between both configurations. Any idea? Thanks, Wolfgang

forwarding emails using sieve
by Thorsten von Eicken 01 Jun '16

01 Jun '16

I know this is a tad tangential to dovecot, but maybe someone has some pointers for me. I'm trying to forward emails using the sieve filtering and redirect doesn't do it because it doesn't wrap the message in a new email, instead, it seems to just change the envelope From (and To). This causes the outbound relay to reject the message for security/spam reasons (forged From). It looks like the dovecot sieve implementation doesn't let me change the From header in the sieve script. Is there a way to accomplish what I'm looking for? Thanks!

Full subject on dovecot log
by Fabio S. Schmidt 01 Jun '16

01 Jun '16

Hi, I've noticed that when a subject is very long Dovecot doesn't show its full lenght on the logs. Is there any way to always register the full subject on the log? (I'm using dovecot 2.2) My best regards, Fabio S. Schmidt

Not receiving mails
by Vijay Kumar 01 Jun '16

01 Jun '16

Hi, I have setup spam filter and opendkim key on our mail server with Postfix,Dovecot and OpenDKIM server. Following are few lines from dovecot.conf which were added to dovecot.conf. After troubleshooting, we removed the following lines and the login from webUI roundcube started working. Can someone please explain the importance of following lines in accordance with Opendkim? Should we disable plaintext authentication for opendkim to work? ----------------------------------------------------- disable_plaintext_auth = no mail_privileged_group = mail mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u userdb { driver = passwd } passdb { args = %s driver = pam } protocol imap { mail_plugins = " autocreate" } plugin { autocreate = Trash autocreate2 = Sent autosubscribe = Trash autosubscribe2 = Sent } service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } } ssl=required ----------------------------------------------------- Thanks, Vijay --- http://www.matchfinder.in

IMAP Timeouts
by Vince42 30 May '16

30 May '16

Hi, from time to time the IMAP login times out ... my external monitoring says "connection reset by peer (SSL)" and Thunderbird tries to connect forever. After a short while everything returns back to normal operation. The system resources are plenty, there are no error messages and no greedy background tasks running. I read a little about tweaking imap-login - but all the default parameters seem to be set more generously than what was recommended. Where should I start the debugging process? I really wish there was some "dovecot optimizer tool" ... :P -- Cheers, \\|// Vince (o o) ----------------------------ooO-(_)-Ooo------------------------- ''' (o)_(o) [ ][0][ ] ô¿ô (=°o°=) World Domination by Copy and Paste [ ][ ][0] - (")_(") [0][0][0] () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments Ooo. ---------------------------.ooO----( )------------------------- ( ) (_/ \_)

Hello, I borrowed dovecot parser for email addresses and going to use it in new perl module as replacement for Email::Address. During implementation and testing I found bugs in dovecot parser & generator. So I'm sending my patches together with tests. Pali Rohár (7): lib-mail: message_address_write: Fix generating empty group list lib-mail: message_address_write: Fix generating group list with empty name lib-mail: parse_addr_spec: Like in rfc822_skip_comment() check if last_comment is not NULL lib-mail: parse_addr_spec: Email address without local-part is invalid lib-mail: parse_mailbox: Set display name instead mailbox when parsing failed lib-mail: message_address_write: Quote and escape strings if needed lib-mail: Update tests for message address src/lib-mail/message-address.c | 99 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---- src/lib-mail/test-message-address.c | 11 +++- 2 files changed, 98 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) -- 1.7.9.5

pread() failures when using mdbox on btrfs
by Marc Joliet 28 May '16

28 May '16

(Note: I am not subscribed to this ML, so please be sure to CC me in replies.) Hello, I see a strange bug when running dovecot under btrfs with a mailbox in mdbox format. At some point, which can take a few minutes or more than a day, dovecot starts logging pread() failures, like so: Apr 02 23:43:42 thetick dovecot[570]: imap(marcec): Error: pread() failed with file /home/marcec/.mdbox/mailboxes/LinuxAudio/User/dbox- Mails/dovecot.index.log: Input/output error These would trigger when getmail runs (which in turn is configured to use dovecot-lda). It's only ever the *.index.log files, and it would usually happen to the same one many times in a row. To demonstrate, this is the full list of unique pread() failures on one host (my desktop PC): # journalctl -u dovecot -p 3 -o cat | sort -u | grep pread imap(marcec): Error: pread() failed with file /home/marcec/.mdbox/mailboxes/BTRFS/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index.log: Input/output error imap(marcec): Error: pread() failed with file /home/marcec/.mdbox/mailboxes/Gentoo/User/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index.log: Input/output error imap(marcec): Error: pread() failed with file /home/marcec/.mdbox/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index.log: Input/output error imap(marcec): Error: pread() failed with file /home/marcec/.mdbox/mailboxes/LinuxAudio/User/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index.log: Input/output error imap(marcec): Error: pread() failed with file /home/marcec/.mdbox/mailboxes/Newsletters/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index.log: Input/output error imap(marcec): Error: pread() failed with file /home/marcec/.mdbox/mailboxes/SCons/User/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index.log: Input/output error imap(marcec): Error: pread() failed with file /home/marcec/.mdbox/storage/dovecot.map.index.log: Input/output error and on the current host (a home server): # journalctl -u dovecot -p 3 -o cat | sort -u | grep pread imap(marcec): Error: pread() failed with file /home/marcec/.mdbox/mailboxes/Privat/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index.log: Input/output error imap(marcec): Error: pread() failed with file /home/marcec/.mdbox/storage/dovecot.map.index.log: Input/output error Rebooting the system would make it go away (without loss of mails), though remounting the file system should have worked, too. I tried a variety of options, but the only one that helped was to convert the mailbox from mdbox to maildir. I have not seen any pread() failures in the two weeks since. I originally wrote to the btrfs ML, see the thread at [0], in particular my messages [1] and [2], for additional details, including references to what little I could find on the web. However, nothing much came of that thread, so I am now posting here.
