I have the following script: #!/bin/sh PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin #Expects to be run after midnight on the first of the month # to archive all the previous months mail #Date Run: TODAY=`date "+%Y-%m-%d"` #last month in YYYY/MM YEAR_LAST_MONTH=`date -v-1d "+%Y/%m"` #1st of last month as 01-Mon-YYYY FIRST_LAST_MONTH=`date -v-1d "+01-%b-%Y"` echo 'TODAY=' ${TODAY} echo 'YEAR_LAST_MONTH=' ${YEAR_LAST_MONTH} echo 'FIRST_LAST_MONTH=' ${FIRST_LAST_MONTH} # get a list of all the mailboxes with at least one real message doveadm -f table mailbox status vsize \* 2>/dev/null | \ awk '{if ($2 > 0) print $1}' >/tmp/ler-mailbox-list.$$ 2>/dev/null # archive all the mails for i in `cat /tmp/ler-mailbox-list.$$` do echo `date` start ${i} doveadm mailbox create \#ARCHIVE/${YEAR_LAST_MONTH}/${i} doveadm -f tab mailbox status messages ${i} doveadm move \#ARCHIVE/${YEAR_LAST_MONTH}/${i} mailbox \ ${i} BEFORE ${TODAY} SINCE ${FIRST_LAST_MONTH} doveadm -f tab mailbox status messages ${i} echo `date` done ${i} done rm /tmp/ler-mailbox-list.$$ It runs at 00:30:00 local time on the first of the month.

Bug in quota_get_status
by Franz Knipp 03 Jul '14

03 Jul '14

Hi, the configuration option lmtp_rcpt_check_quota = yes didn't work, so I traced down the problem: quota_get_status (quota_storage.c:89) calls quota_test_alloc (quota.c:1352) with size = 0 bytes, which leads always to a FALSE result in quota_is_over (quota.c:1305). I've fixed the function quota_is_over by considering ctx->bytes_over and ctx->count_over. See the included patch. Kind regards, Franz -- Franz Knipp, +43 664 3980169 qnipp GmbH, Hauptstraße 54, 7064 Oslip, Österreich http://qnipp.com http://qnipp.com/qnipp.vcf

Mailboxes are in Maildir format. Any good backup tips? Had success with version control?
by deoren 03 Jul '14

03 Jul '14

I'm still pretty new to running a mail server, but one thing I've come to appreciate over the years is a good backup strategy. Since I have always run my own servers for practice and for personal use I don't have access to Enterprise backup solutions. Because of that I usually just fall back to scripts and tarballs and offload the content on a regular basis. Right now I'm using LVM snapshots + tarballs for daily backups, but I'd like to get better coverage for incremental changes that occur throughout the day. The size of existing content is low, but (small) changes are frequent. I went with Maildir format because based on my reading it is referred to as time tested and corruption resistant. Because individual emails are stored as separate files this also leads me to believe that a version control system (Git, SVN) would allow for easy point in time restores. I'm also going to research the GNU tar utility's support for incremental archives as that sounds promising. Suggestions and warnings are most welcome. Thanks!

doveadm director userdb
by G H 03 Jul '14

03 Jul '14

How do you configure an iterate_query SQL lookup for the doveadm director? I tried: service director { userdb { ... } } but userdb is not a valid stanza for director. I do not have a default userdb stanza, all my userdb definitions are specified in service imap/lda/lmtp blocks. Thanks. G H

Android Sync Doesn't Work Too Good
by Asai 02 Jul '14

02 Jul '14

Greetings, I'm getting reports from a user who's reading and deleting mail on Thunderbird, but read flags and deletions don't show up in his Android phone. He's using the native Android mail app with the newest Android OS. My question is, where do I start with troubleshooting this kind of issue? Thanks for anyone's insight here. We're using Dovecot 2.2.13. -- --Asai

[Dovecot] TLS/SSL for Win8 & Outlook
by Sebastian Goodrick 02 Jul '14

02 Jul '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello I recently upgraded to dovecot 2.1.7 (as supplied with Debian Weezy). All clients work as expected except for Outlook (2013 &2010) on Win8 with a SSL/TLS connection. (Thunderbird on Win8 and Outlook 2013 on Win 7 works fine. On my previous dovecot version 1.2.13 all clients worked.) As far as I understand, one difference is the support for TLS1.2 and SSL3. And on the client side Win8 is now connecting through the Microsoft Unified Security Protocol Provider. My logs show these issues: Dovecot: May 06 21:05:43 imap-login: Warning: SSL: where=0x2002, ret=-1: SSLv3 read client certificate A [78.42.x.x] May 06 21:05:43 imap-login: Warning: SSL: where=0x2002, ret=-1: SSLv3 read client certificate A [78.42.x.x] May 06 21:05:43 imap-login: Warning: SSL failed: where=0x2002: SSLv3 read client certificate A [78.42.x.x] May 06 21:05:43 imap-login: Info: Disconnected (no auth attempts in 0 secs): user=<>, rip=78.42.x.x, lip=144.76.x.x, TLS handshaking: Disconnect Outlook 2013 (contains German, translation in []): IMAP: 12:30:02 [db] Mit 'mail.xxx.de' wird eine Verbindung an Port 143 hergestellt.

Since it works with most clients, I assume no broken certificates or my dovecot configuration. The connection fails at the TLS/SSL handshake. Has anyone seen this behaviour, too? Is there a setting (for ssl_protocols and ssl_cipher_list) to support Outlook on Win8?
