And the same for userdb. Although I don't really like those setting names.
Wonder if there are some better ones.
Nothing bad with these names. It's clear even without comments.

[Dovecot] [PATCH] Indexing mail attachments with Dovecot + Solr
Indexing mail attachments with Dovecot + Solr.
This patch has been tested with these versions:
* dovecot 2.0.9
* apache-solr 1.4.1
This is a patch for the fts-solr plugin (that indexes mail messages
for Dovecot with Solr). In main stream, the plugin does not index
attachments; With this patch, you can index mails and their
attachments (pdf, docs, openoffice docs...) . You can get others
goodies with this patch and the Solr
Config provided, like Synonyms and Stemming (Spanish by default).
Attachment indexing is provided by Solr Cell and Tika (ExtractingRequestHandler)
* http://wiki.apache.org/solr/ExtractingRequestHandler
Synonyms and Stemming are provided by SnowballPorterFilterFactory from
Solr Language Analysis:
* http://wiki.apache.org/solr/LanguageAnalysis
We have tested Solr with Tomcat and Jetty. Tomcat is better to handle
UTF-8 and bigger POSTS.
Attachments file format supported
* http://tika.apache.org/0.9/formats.html
At present, attachments in attachments (like, for example, attachments
in fordwarded eml attachments) are not indexed. Also, keep in mind
that there are many types of files, and many variants of the same file
type. Per Example, some pdf files are not readable by solr pdf
reader.
Config:
There are two new options added to fts_solr property:
* index-attachments
Enable attachments indexing.
* manual-update
Avoid index on user search. You can trigger indexing using
doveadm search or doveadm index commands.
There is a new property for the section plugin to filter the mimetypes
that you want to index.
* fts_solr_mimetype
files with this mimetype will be sent to solr.
After integrating solr directory in your solr config, and building
Dovecot with fts-solr support and with fts-solr-attachments-r885.patch
applied, you can update your dovecot config by adding to your
dovecot.conf:
...
mail_pluings = $mail_plugins fts fts_solr
plugin {
fts = solr
fts_solr = url=http://solrhost:8983/solr/ break-imap-search

Re: [Dovecot] dovecot-antispam dependencies
I would like to see a tagged version too, but trunk works fine here. Since the OP mentions Gentoo, my latest ebuild for dovecot-antispam for 2.x is attached. The thing with Gentoo: Unless a tagged version is created, it's very unlikely that the Gentoo guys update the current ebuild (aka: package) and thus the incompatibility between the dovecot and the dovecot-antispam packages in the package tree remains.

[Dovecot] Hide INBOX prefix on shared mailboxes
Hello List,
We've upgraded our Dovecot system from 1.2.4 to 2.0.12.
If someone now accesses an inbox of another user at the shared
namespace, the folder will be shown as:
shared/martin/INBOX
The 1.2 installation has shown the folder like
shared/martin
Is it possible to achieve the old behavior?
** Configuration of the namespaces
* dovecot 1.2
namespace private {
separator = /
prefix =
#location defaults to mail_location.
inbox = yes
}
namespace shared {
separator = /
prefix = shared/%%n
location = maildir:%%h:INDEX=~/shared/%%n/
subscriptions = no
list = children
}
* dovecot 2.0
namespace {
type = private
separator = /
prefix =
#location defaults to mail_location.
inbox = yes
}
namespace {
type = shared
separator = /
prefix = shared/%%n/
location = maildir:%%h:INDEX=~/shared/%%n

The only difference I can think of is that in some version I changed the default to have dbox save everything under mailboxes/ directory. If your backups don't use that directory, you can use something like: doveadm import sdbox:~/Mail/dbox-temp:MAILBOXDIR= #Dbox mailbox spamcop/reports Unfortunately neither debian 2.0.12 nor 2.0.13 version can import these. Strange thing is that message Invalid dbox header size is printed after creating dovecot-uidvalidity and dovecot-index* files for source dbox, u.* files are not read at all. Oh. I think it's entirely possible that current v2.0 can't really read v1.x dbox without giving errors..

[Dovecot] delegation of admin rights
Hello, We're a rather largish university (largest in Israel), with some 60-70k users, using Dovecot 1.2.14 (we're cautious about moving to 2.0.x for now). We need to provide admin rights to faculty computer/IT staff, so they can have access to the mailboxes of their respective users. We use LDAP as an authentication/authorization backend. Currently, dovecot has a master user which can access all mailboxes. I am looking for a solution, preferably within dovecot, to create a delegation type of administration, allowing certain users to access the mailboxes of other users based on an LDAP filter or LDAP attribute value. If possible, allowing per protocol access(that is, I would like to give them IMAP access and not POP3) and within IMAP allowing only to view a mailbox, but not to change it, that would be even better. Does anyone on this list know of any IMAP proxy providing such abilities, and also, would the Dovecot team consider this as a candidate for a request for enhancement ? This would be very useful in a delegated administration environment, like most larger organizations, hosting ISP, and other environments where delegation is an important and very much needed ability. thanks a bunch, -- Ariel -- Ariel Biener e-mail: ar...@post.tau.ac.il PGP: http://www.tau.ac.il/~ariel/pgp.html

I would recommend considering sponsoring some feature request to have this split into two extra variables with the admin and usernames split out?

They just need to be put together in a way that works nicely. ACLs can be given to master user (although there still is no default ACL which makes this annoying). The checkpassword can anyway figure out if user X can be allowed to give user Y rights. I think all users then need to be both master users and passdb users.

[Dovecot] v1.1.20 vs v1.2 v2.0
I am currently running v1.1.20 and was wondering if there is any compelling reason to upgrade to v1.2 or v2.0? For example is there any security updates in v1.2 or v2.0 that aren't included in v1.1.20? The other major thing I would be interested in knowing is there any speed enhancements in the newer versions? I am using basic PAM Auth and Maildir mailboxes on a Linux box. Let me know if you need any more information to answer my questions. Thanks, Adam

default_login_user should be set to the user that runs imap-login and
