Annoyingly v2.2 isn't ready yet.. I have an issue related to this problem. dsync returns an error 75 when it detects the source mailbox is empty (client probably pop3'd all of their email). It also returns an error 75 when I get the timeout error. For not I am parsing the error to find out which is which and act accordingly. It would be much nicer if dsync returned a different error code for empty source mailboxes. ...Jeff

The $SECURED variable contains "secured" if a user tries to log in via SSL/TLS, so if an insecure connection is found, the script should check whether the user is in the list if users which are forced to use encryption: ## if [ "$SECURED" == "secure" ] then :# handle secure connections here else :# handle insecure connections here if grep -q "$USER" in /etc/users-with-forced-encryption then printf "* NO [ALERT] You are not allowed to connect without encryption\r\n" exit 0 fi fi ## Regards Daniel -- https://plus.google.com/103021802792276734820

Annoyingly v2.2 isn't ready yet.. I have found a manual work around. I use rsync to get the files over to the backup machines, then I let the backup script keep things up to date. It is not the best way to go, but at least I have backups. I suppose I can check the log and continue to rsync things over until 2.2 comes out. ...Jeff
[Dovecot] Listen on multiple ports possible using same protocol?
Is it possible to have multiple Listen directives in a dovecot configuration
file for the same protocol? I am running dovecot-1.2.11 and I want to be able
to use the "standard port" as well as a test port:
protocol imap {
listen = *:143
listen = *:10143
ssl_listen = *:993
ssl_listen = *:10993
for example. Or is this more preferably done by pointing dovecot at different
configuration files?

Those hangs are a little bit annoying to debug, and the whole code has been rewritten for v2.2 already in a way that should make the hangs pretty much impossible. Annoyingly v2.2 isn't ready yet..
Re: [Dovecot] dsync backup gets stuck... fails
I ran a rsync on the mailboxes that I was having issues with. I re-ran rsync until I had a full sync with no further updates. Then I ran a dsync. dsync was able to run without issue. If I wipe out the target directory and re-run dsync, I'm back to dsync getting stuck. Running rsync on mdbox files is not optimal. What else can I do to track down the issue? I've contacted Timo's company about payed support so we can get a fix for this issue. I hope to hear from them soon. ...Jeff
[Dovecot] vacation and field FROM
Hi to all
Here is the following scheme: Dovecot in a link with AD.
For LDA and IMAP different views are used in a base.
For example there is a user with such e-mail type - 1.n...@domain.ltd
with the name of authorization auth_1.name.
Incoming male folds up in /var/mail/domain/auth_1.name
When vacation is on, the letters from 1.n...@domain.ltd are sent in a
following way auth_1.n...@domain.ltd
I guess the problem is in two different data-base queries.
Could you please tell me how to solve this problem and to make the
answer to be sent from the same adress it is comes to.

Re: [Dovecot] Deleting metadata smashes file dovecot.dict
On reading 'big' metadata entries i got a similiar behaviour (metadata_maxsize = 10240). The command getmetadata returns no data. I have created a dovecot.dict with a single entry (key=priv/mailbox/fba9aa2cf41721501f34d6254462/private/vendor/test/10458d10cf1f2a502375d6254462/2) to reproduce that. I expected to get the value with command: . getmetadata inbox /private/vendor/test/10458d10cf1f2a502375d6254462/2 . OK Completed. It seems to me that there is a bug in metadata plugin. Anyone any ideas? TIA Andre dovecot.dict.bz2 Description: application/bzip

I think the hash is per email address and per IP ? Yes, doesn't help with multiple accounts, because the hashed username is different (no IP). I guess this could be changed to be per IP just as well.

Maybe Dovecot could make this somehow smarter some day.. Or create a plugin that allows that.

On 10/08/2012 10:25, Timo Sirainen wrote: how does help me "save battery" if i have a folder-structure maintained by sieve if i do not get my new mails? If you open 10 connections to IMAP server and will IDLE on them - your phone will wake up to reply for ping in every of that 10 connections. Imagine if there will 100 folders? Like mentioned previously in this thread, you can disable the "ping"s in Dovecot. And even when they happen Dovecot makes them happen at the same time. So I think the power usage difference between 1 connection and 100 connections isn't much. The battery consumption problem seems common, but understanding of it is poor... The situation is simply: - Waking up a 3G radio is expensive on power - So prefer to do it less frequently and do a chunk of stuff, rather than doing a small amount of data quite frequently - Every 30 mins is only 48 times a day. Every 15 seconds is massively more - Different 3G networks have different parameters set which will dramatically affect battery life. ie they wait longer/shorter before allowing the radio to go idle once woken up. I don't know a good online resource to see these settings, my old Nokia had a utility to investigate things... - Firewalls impose challenges on being silent for 30 mins at a time and may drop any NAT mappings - The 3G network will almost certainly have a NAT in the way which guarantees you have a (probably very short) NAT timeout (perhaps 10 mins or perhaps less) - Then there is tcp keepalive. Does Dovecot enable these? (Sorry, I should look in the code...). However, applications which enable it (eg optional in SSH) will trigger a default (I think) 75 second network packet As Timo says, Dovecot tries to be clever and coalesce packets from checking multiple folders, but from memory there are limitations on this if you have multiple *accounts*? I think the hash is per email address and per IP ? But of course if your emails turn up every few seconds, then you will be triggering wakeups every few seconds also. I think if you tune things with that in mind, it's very possible to get very low battery usage. Using tcpdump on your mobile client to help tune things is a great help. Basically every stray packet is a killer for battery, hunt them down. Cheers Ed W

Especially since I recall Wietse being not very inclined to implement anything alike. Annoyingly Apple implemented burl for postfix, submitted the patch, but Wietse declined it (for reasons I would need to remind myself of - I think some implementation concerns, but mainly "who is using it, lets see the clients first") I would also be very interested to see BURL support appear. It appears to offer bandwidth reductions (my customers are all on slow dialup links), and at least some apple clients (IOS?) support it Cheers Ed W
