[Dovecot] system accepts my domains without point
I have postfix+ dovecot + ldap (AD). my system accepts u...@domain as u...@domain. as u...@domain.com. To send as much to create the mailbox when I login to squirrelmail, for example. Problem is postfix, dovecot or from AD? Someone can help me? -- ## # Esteban Torres Rodríguez # # Área de Soporte Técnico# # Subdirección de Sistemas Informáticos # # Empresa Pública Desarrollo Agrario y Pesquero # # email: etor...@dap.es # ##

Re: [Dovecot] IMAP labeling sometimes not taken into account

Sometimes they stay there. And I can't reproduce the behavior, it just seems random. This is very annoying as it totally breaks my e-mail management. Yes, there have been some bugs related to handling them. clients agree: this e-mail has a 5 label. BUT when I open the mbox file directly on the imap server (using less), and scroll to that given e-mail, I see NO X-Keywords: line. How then can the e-mail clients know that this e-mail is labeled? The keywords are also stored in Dovecot's index files. Although they should still be written to mbox files too. 2-12h38-~#dovecot --version 1.0.15 I'd first try a recent v1.1 release. It might have already fixed this bug. Also you could try if setting mbox_lazy_writes=no helps. Done that. Upgraded to 1.1.15, and set mbox_dirty_syncs: no and mbox_lazy_writes: no and restarted. Still the same behavior: some e-mails are still seen as been labeled by thunderbird while the mbox file does not contain any label for these e-mails. How can I tell dovecot to re-generate its index files? I guess they have been wrong at some point and now it keeps using that wrong information. Or if anybody has any other idea... Olivier

On 6/2/2009, Steffen Kaiser (skdove...@smail.inf.fh-brs.de) wrote: The reason I ask is, some sites don't allow the use of the '+' delimiter, so having a second optional character, and/or the ability to use a dot anywhere in the local part, would provide a workaround to these site... '+' is the separator of sendmail. The MTA must support it, too, to know that the recipient is local. Qmail uses '-', in postfix you can configure the delimiter. I know... I don't have local recipients, but you are right, I was forgetting that recipient validation is done by the MTA... So, I'd need to find a way to trick postfix into seeing one or more alternate characters as '+' (or whatever it is defined as), for recipient validation purposes... But, the LDA/Sieve would *also* need to be able to handle these same characters, for Delivery/Filtering purposes. To insert a '.' anyplace into the recipient name, you have to do something on MTA level. E.g. with sendmail you could map: 'lo.calRecpient' to 'localRecipient+lo.calRecpient' But that's not what I want. I want: lo.calrecipi...@example.com = localrecipi...@example.com for both recipient validation *and* Delivery purposes, *but*... obviously the LDA (in addition to postfix) would have to understand that they are the same, and Sieve would as well, in order to be able to filter/file into a folder based on a matching rule *if* one exists - or just Deliver to the Inbox for localrecipi...@example.com if one doesn't. I have been using this ability in gmail for a long time, and it is extremely powerful, so I'd just love to see a private implementation. -- Best regards, Charles

[Dovecot] record points outside file error with dovecot revision 9116:9ae55b68cf61
I use mbox with mbox-snarf plugin.
I get errors like:

The errors can be in either folders or INBOX.
I put some syslog statements in src/lib-index/mail-cache-lookup.c to
help understand this.
if (offset + sizeof(*rec) cache-mmap_length) {
mail_cache_set_corrupted(cache, record points

}
syslog: mail_cache_get_record rec-size is 268595472
syslog: cache-mmap_length is 4096
syslog: offset is 1630760037
Oh I forgot to print off sizeof(*rec). Would that help?

Re: [Dovecot] v3.0 architecture
Timo Sirainen t...@iki.fi writes: The big problem is what the protocol should be. Use some existing RPC protocol? It should be something extensible so that a plugin in imap process can talk to a plugin in storage process, without the base processes knowing anything about the details (e.g. imap-quota plugin asking quota usage from storage's quota plugin). In any case the client side API should be asynchronous. That can make it annoyingly difficult to use though. Wonder if I could switch to erlang or something for the imap/pop3 processes :) I realise I'm coming a little late to this conversation. Various people have suggested various RPC mechanisms. Might I humbly suggest also looking at 9P (or 9P2000) the Plan9 filesystem protocol. [1] The general design philosophy in Plan9 is not to use an increasing number of application specific RPC mechanisms but instead to implement everything in a synthetic filesystem tree. The 9P protocol handles the basic operations required to navigate the filesystem tree and read/write to the files within. The semantics of RPC are then relegated to the specification for the layout of the filesystem and meaning assigned to reading or writing to files within that tree. This allows for extensibility (and incidently discoverability) - new features or plugins appear as a new file or directory hierarchy in the presented filesystem layout. As a concrete example the so called upas/fs [2] presents a view of a mailbox independent of the actual storage mechanism used for the data contained in the mailbox. From the manpage The mailbox itself becomes a directory under /mail/fs. Each message in the mailbox becomes a numbered directory in the mailbox directory, and each attachment becomes a numbered directory in the message directory. Since an attachment may itself be a mail message, this structure can recurse ad nauseam. See [2] for more details. I'm not suggesting this layout would be exactly right for the Dovecot storage protocol but it may provide a starting point. It's probably worth noting the irony, given this is a maillist about Dovecot, in that this approach almost obsoletes the need for an IMAP protocol in the first place (the upas/fs style layout as documented doesn't really provide sufficient support for server side search for example).

Re: [Dovecot] 1.2.beta1: expire-tool and 'mail_location' setting
Then put mail_plugins setting outside protocol {}.
It looks like the mail_plugins setting outside protocol has no effect.
..
These are the settings from the protocol imap section.
Oh, right. That's because of how it's implemented in v1.2. Kind of ugly,
but I don't know if I'll bother fixing it until it becomes a real
problem for someone. :) v2.0 implements this properly.
Sure, the current implementation works for me. Thanks again Timo!
Spoke too soon ;-)
Adding imap_quota plugin to the mail_plugins for protocol imap breaks it:
$ sudo /usr/sbin/dovecot --exec-mail ext /opt/bin/expire-tool.sh --test
