[Dovecot] v1.1.beta5 released
http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/beta/dovecot-1.1.beta5.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/beta/dovecot-1.1.beta5.tar.gz.sig APPEND should be working now. Also lots of fixes to handling namespace prefixes and namespaces where virtual separator differs from real separator. zlib plugin now supports opening compressed maildir files. This is done for files that have Z flag. SORT still assert-crashes sometimes. Would be great if someone could show me how to reproduce it. SEARCH TEXT or Squat indexes apparently still have some problems, but I couldn't reproduce them (http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2007-October/026254.html). signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Looks like it overrides the system_user with empty value and Dovecot
ends up calling initgroups(""). I'm not sure what that does, if
anything. This fixes it: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot/rev/7f2501b3e993

Possible yes, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea. Users with
filesystem quotas probably wouldn't want to see them. It's anyway done
silently only when write fails because of ENOSPC/EDQUOT, in other cases
some error is always logged.

Re: [Dovecot] Segfault when opening a public folder, dovecot 1.1 beta4
If you don't need the other groups in Dovecot you can get rid of them and
just have the process use the user's primary group and mail_extra_groups. I
think this should work:
userdb passwd {
args = system_user=
}
Actually, yes I like this alot and put this change into production. I was
planning on using some secondary groups to prevent filesystem access, but
I can accomplish the same protection easier with this and mail_extra_groups.
Thanks! I didn't test yet that the secondary groups aren't loaded but I will
sometime.
According to my logs, it seems it does not prevent the secondary groups.
I'd look at the code to see how it works, but I have to switch tasks and
may not work more with dovecot until tomorrow. I suppose if I cannot get
this to work, it sounds like I may be able to depend on the patch below.

If these errors happen for index files Dovecot currently fallbacks to using
in-memory indexes.
Oh. Ugh. That might explain why the indexes don't always seem to load.
For some reason I thought dovecot might print a message when it falls back
to in-memory indexes; would that be possible?

[Dovecot] do 1.1b4 assertion failed: (mailbox_list_is_valid_existing_name
I think this is where I left off last weekend. Instead of this happening at
the base
of one of my shared mail namespaces, it happens when I try to select a top
level folder
inside the namespace, or try to directly select an entire path to a folder.
This only
happens when ACL is enabled. Let me know if I need to provide more. Thanks.

If you don't need the other groups in Dovecot you can get rid of them and
just have the process use the user's primary group and mail_extra_groups. I
think this should work:
userdb passwd {
args = system_user=
}
Actually, yes I like this alot and put this change into production. I was
planning on using some secondary groups to prevent filesystem access, but
I can accomplish the same protection easier with this and mail_extra_groups.
Thanks! I didn't test yet that the secondary groups aren't loaded but I will
sometime.

If these errors happen for index files Dovecot currently fallbacks to using

Oh. Ugh. That might explain why the indexes don't always seem to load.
For some reason I thought dovecot might print a message when it falls back
to in-memory indexes; would that be possible?

You probably want to add it to mail_extra_groups. I want to avoid adding a group to any user that logs in because some of them are in many groups already and it might push them over the limit that FreeBSD allows, then they cannot login at all. With some recent permission changes I've done (affects dovecot 1.0 as well), I get a good amount of these fchown errors and I was thinking of muting them so they do not fill my log, since they are harmless in my setup. Right now in my public folder permission scheme, the only thing I need dovecot-shared for (I think) is making client-added emails world-readable at least (currently actually mode 666). As long as the indexes are accessible by the user, I don't care what mode or group they are.

Sorry it took a while to reply. You were almost on the bottom of my "reply later" mails.

[Dovecot] Segfault when opening a public folder, dovecot 1.1 beta4
I was trying to debug this with gdb, but I'm not sure how to make env MAIL=maildir:~/Maildir MAIL_PLUGINS=acl ACL=vfile gdb /tmp/imap understand the #shared/decs namespace from below so I can SELECT it. I have a number of maildirs under #ahared/decs, I tried opening at least 2 of them but dovecot gives sig 11 without a direct error about the problem. I don't think this was exactly the same problem in 1.1b3, but unfortunately I deleted all the patches I was testing with so it would be a pain to test the same situation with 1.1b3 again (although if needed, I can). If dovecot-shared exists in the folder I try to open, dovecot says: Oct 27 12:57:38 gribble dovecot: IMAP(mcdouga9): fchown() failed with file /home/mcdouga9/Maildir/dovecot11testing/public/indexes/decs/.unixadmin/dovecot.index.log: Operation not permitted Oct 27 12:57:38 gribble dovecot: child 55470 (imap) killed with signal 11 I am used to getting the first message because dovecot tries to apply perms from dovecot-shared to the index files which are elsewhere. If I open a public folder without dovecot-shared, I see no contents but it does not sig11. I am NOT using the acl plugin right now, it didn't seem to make a difference if it was loaded. When I left off with the dovecot 1.1b3 + 8 patches, I believe I was getting an assertion.

There are two possibilities: 1) The messages really get saved twice. 2) IMAP client copies the message to the same mailbox duplicating it. I guess you use maildir? Set maildir_copy_with_hardlinks=yes. Then see if the duplicated mails are hardlinks (e.g. stat to see if inodes are same or if ls -l shows >1 links).

I think you should first figure out if this is really a Dovecot problem or something else. You could for example enable rawlog (http://dovecot.org/bugreport.html#sniffing) for that one user and then when this problem happens look at the logs to see if there is a command that updates the \Seen flag. I don't know how Horde/IMP updates the \Seen flags. It might be a real STORE +FLAGS \Seen command, or it could use FETCH BODY[] which also sets the flag implicitly. You could also modify mail-log plugin to log \Seen flag changes. You can do this by replacing MAIL_DELETED with MAIL_SEEN in src/plugins/mail-log/mail-log-plugin.c (and "deleted" / "undeleted" texts also with "seen" / "unseen"). signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Yes, I've thought about that before. http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2007-May/022828.html explains how I've thought virtual mailboxes could be implemented. After that adding automatic keyword<->mailbox mapping would be pretty easy. Unfortunately I don't know when I'll have time to implement it. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

It wouldn't be difficult to implement a plugin that does it. It would hook into save_init() and save_finish() functions and update database depending on if the saving succeeds or fails. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

It would be interesting if deliver could toggle a field in some database once the user is over quota, so the inbound MTA can query it and reject e-mail upfront, instead of accepting it and bouncing.

[Dovecot] Keywords (labels) support via virtual folders
Hi all, while I am rather a beginner when it comes to IMAP, I was thinking whether it would be possible (and feasible) to implement setting and unsetting of IMAP keywords with the means of virtual folders in Dovecot. The background is that the IMAP keywords seem to be a very useful thing to me: I would often like to be able to 'tag' a message so that it is easy to group with other similar messages and easy to find/ browse later. The problem is that not all IMAP clients support this functionality (as far as I am aware, mine which happens to be The Bat! does not); the only way of achieving similar results is using regular folders for grouping messages but this has several disadvantages, the most prominent one being unable to assign more than one 'tag' to a message this way (without copying a message). What I am thinking of is a server-side 'helper' that intends to achieve functionality similar to native client keywords support by the means of providing 'virtual folders' (as opposed to regular folders that we've known for a long time). The server would expose a list of virtual folders (user defined, either server-side by modifying the configuration, or client-side, by using the existing 'create regular folder' folder functionality but using a special name format that would be recognized by the server to be virtual folder related). These virtual folders would, upon moving a message to them, apply a keyword to the message (but the message would not be moved as it would be the case with regular folders). Upon moving a message from a virtual folder, the keyword would be reset. This means that the messages would not normally be moved from their place in existing hard folder structure but they would additionally be flagged with a keyword (or more of them) and be visible in respective virtual folders. The result is: - keywords support for clients that do not natively support it, - leaving existing message folder structure intact, - support for multiple keywords/ labels per message (one virtual folder = one keyword), - browsing flagged messages via respective virtual folders. What do you think of it? While I've been toying with this and similar ideas for a long time, what I propose above is of course heavily influenced by the recent addition of IMAP access to Gmail ([1]). While I still do not have it enabled for my account, I presume this is how the Gmail labels get translated to IMAP client ([2], [3]).
