[Dovecot] Lost %d variable
I'm trying to set up sieve with dovecot, and for some reason, sieve is not getting the %d variable that is part of the path to where its script should be. Here's the version: ops:/var/log/mail# dovecot --version 1.2.13 And, here's the configuration (I've left it all for reference, but moved the lda & plugins portions together and marked them out): ops:/var/log/mail# dovecot -n # 1.2.13: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.18-3-686 i686 Debian 4.0 ext3 log_path: /var/log/mail/dovecot.log info_log_path: /var/log/mail/dovecot.info log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: imap imaps pop3 pop3s ssl_parameters_regenerate: 0 disable_plaintext_auth: no verbose_ssl: yes login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-login mail_location: maildir:/var/mail/%d/%n:CONTROL=/var/mail/%d/%n:INDEX=/var/mail/%d/%n:INBOX= /var/mail/%d/%n mbox_write_locks: fcntl dotlock mail_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/pop3 --- Start lda/sieve part -- lda: log_path: /var/log/mail/deliver-errors.log info_log_path: /var/log/mail/deliver.log postmaster_address: alad...@csunv.com mail_plugin_dir: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda mail_plugins: sieve plugin: sieve: /var/mail/%d/%n/.sieve --- End lda/sieve part -- auth default: verbose: yes passdb: driver: passwd-file args: /etc/dovecot/passwd.dovecot userdb: driver: static args: uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/var/mail/home/%u userdb: driver: passwd plugin: sieve: /var/mail/%d/%n/.sieve And, here is the log output: ops:/var/log/mail# cat deliver-errors.log 2010-09-11 18:23:46 deliver(aladdin): Error: sieve: failed to stat user's sieve script: stat(/var/mail//aladdin/.sieve) failed: Not a directory (using global script path in stead) 2010-09-11 18:23:46 deliver(aladdin): Error: stat(/var/mail//aladdin/tmp) failed: Not a directory Obviously, the double slashes shouldn't be there; there should be the domain name: /var/mail/csunv.com/aladdin The "regular" dovecot gets the path fine; that is also where it puts the mail, and I'm getting mail just fine.

[Dovecot] Certificate for outlook 2003
Hi all, We are running "dovecot-1.0.7-7.el5" on a CentOS release 5.5 (Final) box. I know, its an old version, but it cames up with the CentOS release (yum). Anyway. Is there a way to import the certificate, which was generated with "mkcert_dovecot.sh", permanently to the outlook 2003 clients? Every time, when our office 2003 clients fetches there emails (POP3s) from our dovecot server, they will be asked ".., the CN-Name of this certificate doesn't match with the taken Value. Do you want to continue with this server?. sorry for the poor english translation. Here in german (for some german people): Der Server, mit dem Sie verbunden sind, verwendet ein Sicherheitszertifikat, das nicht verifiziert werden konnte. Der CN-Name des Zertifikates stimmt nicht mit dem übergebenen Wert überein. Möchten Sie diesen Server weiterhin verwenden? many thanks for some hints Richard
[Dovecot] dovecot 2.0.2 compile issues on Solaris 10u8 Sparc
I am having compile problems with Dovecot v2.0.2 on a well patched Solaris 10u8 Sparc system using the included gcc compiler. Version 2.0.0 compiled with out any issues using the same configure syntax. My ./configure syntax looks like this: ./configure --with-ssl=openssl --with-shadow Yahoo and Google searches turned up nothing for me. Reviewing the file mountpoint.c between version 2.0.0 and 2.0.2 shows the files to be identical, so I have a problem somewhere else, I am just not sure where.

Re: [Dovecot] Migrating mail from mbox to maildir using dovecot
Donny Brooks put forth on 9/11/2010 2:14 AM: > We need this done asap as our backups are killing us with the large mbox > style files. Does your backup software not offer data deduplication? I was under the impression that all commercial backup software offered this feature in modern times. In a nutshell, if a file changes from one backup to the next, only the part of that file which has changed is then backed up, not the entire file. The "master" copy and the "fragments" are then merged during a restore. If you don't have this feature, may I ask what backup solution you're using? I'm not pointing you away from maildir. It is still preferable for some reasons in some environments. I'm simply saying, AFAIK, maildir simply doesn't have much advantage over mbox WRT modern (commercial) backup software. -- Stan
[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.0.2 and Pigeonhole-0.2.0

[Dovecot] Proper use of convert plugin?
I am trying to convert from mbox to maildir on our mail server here at work.
The specs are as follows:
Fedora 11 x86-64
dovecot-1.2.11-3.fc11.x86_64
postfix-2.5.6-3.fc11.x86_64
dovecot-managesieve-1.2.11-3.fc11.x86_64
We are currently using mbox format with the users INBOX set to
/var/spool/mail/username and other mail is in /home/username/Mail. I would like
to migrate to maildir format. I tried using the convert plugin as the wiki
suggested:
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir
protocol imap {
mail_plugins = convert
}
protocol pop3 {
mail_plugins = convert
}
plugin {
convert_mail = mbox:/home/%u/Mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u
}
When doing this I get this scrolling in the /var/log/maillog...
Sep 11 14:41:38 roark dovecot: IMAP(username): Mailbox conversion: Lock
creation timeouted
Sep 11 14:41:39 roark dovecot: IMAP(username): Fatal: Mailbox conversion
failed, exiting
Sep 11 14:56:53 roark dovecot: POP3(otheruser): Mailbox conversion:
rename(/home/otheruser/Mail, /home/otheruser/Mail-converted) failed: Directory
not empty
it does this for some users only. Mine for instance never errored and completed
perfectly from what I can tell (other than the new mail issue below). The
server load has skyrocketed though, so that is most likely part of it.
Also, while testing this, new mail was not delivered to the maildir but rather
to the old mbox in /var/spool/mail/username. The new mail never showed up until
I switched the config back over to the mbox settings. Am I missing something
here?
Thanks for any insight

[Dovecot] Pigeonhole proxy errors
I'm trying to upgrade my proxy front-ends to 2.0.2. I have the latest
Pigeonhole release installed, and whenever I connect to the sieve port
this gets logged in the syslog:
managesieve-login: Error: auth: connect(login) in directory / failed:
Permission denied (euid=144() egid=144() missing +x
perm: /, euid is not dir owner)
I dont get any capabilities displayed on the client side.
I'm not sure why it's referring to the '/' directory. On 1.2.x, I
authenticate the user and proxy to the sieve process on appropriate
users back-end storage node.
Here is the sieve config in my dovecot config file:
service managesieve-login {
inet_listener sieve {
address = a.b.c.d
port = 4190
}
inet_listener sieve_deprecated {
address = a.b.c.d
port = 2000
}
}
protocol sieve {
managesieve_max_line_length = 65536
managesieve_logout_format = bytes=%i/%o
managesieve_implementation_string = Dovecot Pigeonhole
mail_debug=no
}
Any help would be great.
thanks!

Dovecot 2.0 would use dsync, and it should be really easy and avoids most problems the other methods can have (haven't used it yet myself, but will on a system I'll be upgrading soon)... http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Migration/MailFormat But either way, to avoid doing each one manually you'll need to use some scripting magic. If I were doing it, I'd probably write a script (or more likely hire someone to do it for me, since my scripting skills are rudimentary at best) that would run at the least busy time of day for your system, and iterate through the user: disable login kill any existing processes for that user run dsync to convert everything re-enable login rinse, repeat. > I also tried the convert plugin located here: > http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Convert but it kept erroring about > not able to convert the box and exiting.

[Dovecot] Sieve problems - compiled script does not get updated
Hi, I'm using Dovecot 1.1.7 with sieve and managesieve, and Thunderbird with the sieve plugin (0.1.10). Sieve filters are generally working, but I noticed a situation where a script wrongly remains in effect. Here's how to reproduce the problem: - write 2 sieve scripts (in Thunderbird), say A and B, triggered by different things - activate script A and send an email that triggers it (so that it gets compiled) - change the active script to B (by clicking its "active" icon in the list) - send an email that triggers B; it will not work - send an email that triggers A; it will still work The only way I found to fix it is to hunt down the corresponding .dovecot.sievec file and delete it (the .dovecot.sieve symlink gets updated correctly, but .dovecot.sievec doesn't). After deleting it, the correct script is compiled and executed. Is this problem fixed in a newer version of dovecot?

[Dovecot] Migrating mail from mbox to maildir using dovecot
Hello, Currently our mail server is setup to use postfix and dovecot, which is fine except it is setup to use mbox format mail. That and procmail as we need to move to sieve but that is a different issue. I have searched until blue in the face and cannot find a 100% working solution that doesn't require alot of manual interaction to move the mail boxes from mbox to maildir. I have tried the mb2md.pl stuff but with over 150+ users that can get tedious having to log in as each one of them to migrate them. I also tried the convert plugin located here: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Convert but it kept erroring about not able to convert the box and exiting. We have approx 200GB of mail total that needs to be migrated. Maybe I am just simply missing something but is there a way that we can migrate all the users with minimal end user interaction and minimal administration time? We need this done asap as our backups are killing us with the large mbox style files. Thanks in advance for any and all input to this. -- Donny B.
