[Dovecot] Return error instead of dying on time back skip?
Hello everybody! Currently, dovecot just kills itself if it detects that time has moved backwards more than a hardcoded number of seconds. I accept the reasons, but I do not like to restart dovecot manually after waiting for time to move forward again. A cron job would not help, because time might still be wrong when it restarts dovecot. All our systems run ntpd, but they might be offline for a while before they get contact to a time server, e.g. because of DSL problems. When they do get contact and time is too far off, ntpd sets the new time directly (yes, it could gradually do that, but it might take ages). Now I wonder if Dovecot could return errors to the users instead of dying until time is fine again, e.g. System time has moved backwards, please come back in n seconds. If the time skip is just a few seconds, it can of course delay and then go on as it does now. With this change, no admin would be needed to carefully restart Dovecot at the right time. I have not looked into Dovecot code myself yet, but could try a patch if necessary.

[Dovecot] Migrate from dovecot to dovecot.. new server
Hi We have been running a dovecot server for some time.. users connect with pop. Now this server is going to be substituted with a new one.. before we used mbox, but now we will move to maildir! I have done some testing transfering the mail with the mb2md script, the conversion works correctly, but users gets duplicates since they selected keep mail on server I have googled for the problem, and set pop3_reuse_xuidl=yes and pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv is the same on both servers.. but no luck. My first tought was to script in an X-UIDL header for each mail that was converted.. but that wont work since the mail already downloaded by the client didnt contain that header.. is there anyone that has some experience with this, or knows if its possible? Many Greetings, Lars Johansen

[Dovecot] Migrate from mlbox to maildir, lock problem
Hi We've been using dovecot successufly for few month. Previous setup : solaris 8, postfix+LDA, mbox + index on NFS (Netapp), 2500 accounts Everything shared overs NFS, multiple servers connect to index, mbox. mail_location = mbox:/var/mail/mbox/%u:INBOX=/var/mail/%u:INDEX=/var/mail/indexes_dovecot/%u We had at first some issue with mbox locking, using lock_method = dotlock solve the issue. The problem seemed to be with fcntl. I Migrate to maildir to ease administration to use maildir quota I use mb2md-3.20.pl to migrate the mbox everything works smooth. Actual setup : solaris 8, postfix+LDA, maildir + index + control on NFS (Netapp) I change the mail_location settings to mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/maildir/%u:INDEX=/var/mail/indexes_dovecot/%u:CONTROL=/var/mail/dovecot_control/%u And now I'm facing new locking issue : Errors on user loging, users leaving mail on server downloading the same mail over and over.

[Dovecot] Best authentication option
Dear Dovecot experts, I have a small home server debian based, with postfix/dovecot/squirrelmail installed locally and working. Dovecot is used non-secured (no imaps) but only on the 192.168.0.100 address (address of the server on the local network). I want to use squirrelmail to read my email from outside. Squirrelmail can configured to access it in particular, either through cram-md5 or login auths. In that situation, is it better (I mean more secure) to use : 1) auth mechanim = cram-md5 or 2) auth mechanism = plain (using PAM authentication for dovecot) ? That will determine my dovecot configuration. Thank you Eric

Re: [Dovecot] Strange directory created at dovecot launch
Eric wrote: I installed dovecot from scratch and compiled it from 1.0.0 source. Installed in /usr/local. Now everytime I launch dovecot it creates and uses /usr/local/var/lib/dovecot and /usr/local/var/run/dovecot directories.

Default locations must be set before compilation using ./configure You need to run ./configure --localstatedir=/var run ./configure --help for all configure options Actually thees are general make options, but i recommend to look at dovecot specific too. ...and. it is good idea too, to adjust other file locations (like --bindir, --libexecdir, etc) to match your system layout.

I though we have to decide in dovecot.conf to use one option or another one... I do force the use of my webserver (lighttpd) through https. My question was the best option between plain/PAM and cram-md5 authentications locally. the login information between squirrelmail and imaps could be secured, but that communication is only occuring on the 'localhost' typically you would only worry about imap communications when the webserver and the imap server are not on the same machine.

[Dovecot] Strange Mail Problem
I submitted this question to the Postfix maillist and they suggested that I post to this one. Here's my issue: I have a Postifx email system running on a CentOS 4 box, with Dovecot pop3 and imap. Last week, one of my users reported to me that about a dozen emails suddenly showed up in his in box (as unread messages), but none of them were addressed to him. Under further investigation, they turned out to be from another user's inbox. The messages were all over a month old. How could mail simply show up in one inbox from another user's? We're using Mozilla Thunderbird 1.5.

[Dovecot] How to use option allow_nets?
Hi,
according to
http://wiki.dovecot.fi/PasswordDatabase/ExtraFields/AllowNets
there exists an option allow_nets to restrict IP ranges from where
users are allowed to login to Dovecot.
I am using Debian Etch with the official Dovecot packages:
# dpkg -l | grep dovecot
ii dovecot-common1.0.rc15-2
ii dovecot-imapd 1.0.rc15-2
ii dovecot-pop3d 1.0.rc15-2
using a mostly unchanged dovecot.conf.
I tried to add the line
allow_nets=127.0.0.0/8,192.168.0.0/16
in the block
passdb pam {
which is the default enabled auth code in Debian.
When starting Dovecot I get this error message:
# /etc/init.d/dovecot start
Starting mail server: dovecot
Error: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf line 777:
Unknown setting: allow_nets
According to the Dovecot changelog
2006-02-27 18:46 Timo Sirainen [EMAIL PROTECTED]
* src/auth/: auth-request.c, auth-request.h: Added allow_nets
extra field. If set, the user can log in only from within the
given networks (hope the code is correct...)
the option exists since February 2006, while the Debian package was
released in December 2006.
What I am doing wrong?
Using TCP wrappers instead seems not to be an option according to
http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2006-April/012476.html

allow_nets is a passdb field (for example in an SQL passdb), not a

[Dovecot] some clarification re: ACL?
The ACL documentation is at http://wiki.dovecot.org/ACL is a bit vague... I'd be happy to update it myself, but I need some clarification: For example, I have a dovecot-acl file with: group=portal_admin lrw anyone l To me this means that any user in the portal_admin group should be able to open and read messages in the shared mailbox where this dovecot-acl file resides. All other users should be able to see the mailbox, but won't be able to open it. What I'm finding is that in actuality NO ONE can open the mailbox. Users in the portal_admin group cannot open it. Am I misreading how ACL is supposed to work? Or does the group= identifier simply not work? I guess I should mention that these groups are coming from active directory hooked up on the back-end with winbind, but I think this should be transparent to dovecot (i.e. dovecot shouldn't know the difference between groups originating from active directory versus local groups after all, it doesn't seem to differentiate between active directory users versus local users or am I wrong about this?) Secondly, what is the group-override identifier supposed to do? Thirdly, are spaces and other special characters allowed in the group/username identifiers?

Re: [Dovecot] read only maildir
If it's read-only, then your user can't write the 'subscriptions' file; as root, edit that file and manually insert the subscription, then your clients should pick it up. Thanks for the quick reply. Is it subscriptions or .subscriptions or in the singular (without the ending s)? Where should it be exactly? In the directory specified by the location option or by the CONTROL suboption? And what should it contain? Sorry to ask too much, but I am (very) new to dovecot. Best regards, A. _ Egy anya oda se bagózik a megjelenésedre. Szerinte gyönyörű vagy és punktum.

And I can subscribe/unsubscribe to them. But if I click on the name of the folder, thunderbird says: Mailbox does not exist. And there is absolutely nothing in dovecot's log. If it matters, I use Edgy, hence dovecot 1.0rc2, mutt 1.5.13 and thunderbird 1.5.0.10. Again, thank you for your help. By the way, do you have working read-only folders?

[Dovecot] File Changes and IDLE
Hi Timo and all, I used to use Dovecot back in the 0.99 days a couple of years ago, had since moved to Courier IMAP, but with the release of Dovecot 1.0.0, I'm looking at moving back! One thing I currently have set up and working with Courier is the use of the enhanced IDLE mode, whereby Courier uses FAM (File Alteration Monitor) to monitor changes in the INBOX, and sends the details to the client as soon as a new mail arrives. Is this something that Dovecot supports? If possible, I'd prefer not to use FAM, as it crashes at random intervals and I have to keep restarting it. When I configured Dovecot, it said File change notification method . : none. Does this mean FreeBSD doesn't support any method of notifying of file changes? Is there any way I can install, or re-configure the kernel, to include this support? Thanks, Andy
