Dovecot news - Aug 2010 - v2.0.rc5 released

Unfortunately v2.0.0 has to be delayed a while longer, because I found
that there were still problems in plugin hook handling when using more
than 2 plugins. Hopefully it's now finally fully fixed, but I'd like to
be sure and wait for one more week to see if people can find a problem
with some plugin combination.

        - Using more than 2 plugins could have caused broken behavior
          (more fixes for this)
        - Listescape plugin fixes
        - mbox: Fixed a couple of assert-crashes
        - mdbox: Fixed potential assert-crash when saving multiple messages
          in one transaction.

Everything works, eventually. All mail will sooner or later get 
delivered, using dovecot LDA from postfix, but these errors rampage the 
log several times. I recently added managesieve, expires, and finished 
the quota which I thought was achived by simply having quota_rule as a 
result of mysql.

Aug 10 15:07:57 server1 dovecot: IMAP(someone at sheltoncomputers.com):

On another note, Thunderbird is starting to get on my nerves, sending 
this message before I was finished.

Here is the relevant config:

dovecot-mysql query:

user_query = SELECT CONCAT('/home/mail/', mailboxes.domain, '/',
mailboxes.username, '/') AS home, CONCAT('/home/mail/', 
mailboxes.domain, '/', mailboxes.username, '/sieve/', 
mailboxes.username, '.sieve') as sieve, CONCAT('/home/mail/', 
mailboxes.domain, '/', mailboxes.username, '/sieve/') as
sieve_dir,
CONCAT('/home/mail/', mailboxes.domain, '/', mailboxes.username,
'/mail/') AS maildir, uid AS uid, gid AS gid,
CONCAT('maildir:storage=',
ROUND(mailboxes.quota/1200), 'M') AS quota_rule, 'Trash:ignore'
AS
quota_rule2 FROM mail.mailboxes WHERE username = '%n' AND domain =
'%d'
AND active = '1'

dovecot.conf:
protocol managesieve {
    listen = localhost:2001
    managesieve_implementation_string = dovecot
    managesieve_logout_format = bytes ( in=%i : out=%o )
    mail_executable = /usr/libexec/dovecot/managesieve
    login_executable =  /usr/libexec/dovecot/managesieve-login
}

auth_debug = no
auth default {

mechanisms = plain login

   passdb sql {
     args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql.conf
#   scheme = cram-md5
   }
   userdb sql {
     args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql.conf
   }
   user = mail
   socket listen {
     client {
       path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth
       user = postfix
       group = postfix
       mode = 0660
     }
      master {
     path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master
     mode = 0666
    }
   }
}
dict {
#  # NOTE: dict process currently runs as root, so this file will be 
owned as root.
expire = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dict-expire.conf
quotadict = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dict-quota.conf
}

plugin {
quota = dict:user::proxy::quotadict

expire = Trash 7 Trash/* 7 Spam 30
expire_dict = proxy::expire
expire_altmove = * 2555

sieve_global_path = /home/mail/sieve/global.sieve
sieve_global_dir = /home/mail/sieve
sieve_dir=/home/mail/%d/%n/sieve

}

As said, everything works, eventually, but mail delivery is delayed a lot.

Thanks,

This is broken.. How did you install Dovecot? What version? Do you have any dict
plugins (probably in /usr/lib/dovecot/dict/)? It looks as if mysql plugin is
loaded twice.
