Hi, One thing which came up repeatedly is that clients using the IMAP server I run (using Dovecot 2.1) wonder whether they broke their Sieve scripts, i.e. it often goes like "I don't know whether I just didn't receive any mail, or whether my filters broke. Can you check the logs?". I then usually just run the sieve-test binary (part of the Pigeonhole distribution) and send them

Hi, I'm running Dovecot 2.1.12 on FreeBSD. I configured Dovecot to use the Squat plugin to provide faster full-text searches. The output of 'dovecot -n' is attached to this mail. However, I just noticed that this plugin doesn't seem to kick in. A raw telnet session seems to confirm this: [..] . SEARCH BODY abcdefg * OK Searched 57% of the mailbox, ETA 0:06 * SEARCH 3425 6254

Hi, I'm running Dovecot 2.1.7 on Debian. Exim is the MTA. I was recently made aware of the fact that the way in which Exim invokes dovecot-lda is prone to code injection: dovecot_virtual_delivery: driver = pipe command = HOME=/home/vmail/\$local_part /usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda -f \$sender_address use_shell .. I.e. a command is executed via the shell, and Exim uses

Hi, I'm running Dovecot 2.1.12 on FreeBSD (quite successfully so, thanks for this nice piece of software!). One thing which is slightly annoying though is that automatically created mailboxes (I have lda_mailbox_autocreate set) don't have the file permissions I'd like them to have. I'm using a vmail-based system, i.e. all mail is owned by vmail:vmail; another member of the

Hi, I run a small IMAP server for a dozen guys in the office, serving about 55GB of Maildir. I recently became aware of the Zlib plugin ( http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Zlib ) and wondered 1. given that there is about zero CPU load on my IMAP server, is enabling the plugin a no-brainer or are there other things (except CPU load) to consider? 2. For enabling the plugin, I suppose you

Hi, I'm running Dovecot 1.2.17 on FreeBSD 9 to serve an archive of a few internal mailinglists. The archive is implemented using a public namespace: namespace private { separator = / prefix = inbox = yes } namespace public { separator = / prefix = Lists/ location = maildir:/home/vmail/lists/Maildir:CONTROL=~/Maildir/lists:INDEX=~/Maildir/lists subscriptions = no } As

Hi, I'm running Dovecot 1.2.17 on FreeBSD (exact output of 'dovecot -n' is atttached to this mail). The machine is serving a public mailinglist archive which is read-only; all mail arriving for the archive is marked as \Seen using Sieve script. This setup works well most of the time, but I noticed that for *some* mails, the \Seen flag doesn't seem to be stored. Right now I

I recently upgraded my debian sid install to the latest version of wine- 20050310. Unfortunately it broke Office 97. When I try to select a file in the file open or save dialogs, there is a Paragraph character in the box already. This makes it impossible to open a new file. Suggestions?

I am trying to compile rsync-2.6.0 on BSD/OS 5.0 patched to current level. gcc version 2.95.3 I ran configure: ./configure --with-rsh=rsh This is the only error message given by configure: checking sys/sysctl.h usability... no checking sys/sysctl.h presence... yes configure: WARNING: sys/sysctl.h: present but cannot be compiled configure: WARNING: sys/sysctl.h: check for missing prerequisite

Hello, I seem to be having a performance problem with rsync. I have done some testing of rsync and ftp. If I do a transfer (either way) with ftp, I get about 500 Kbytes/sec. Using rsync to do the same transfer (either way) I only get about 50 Kbytes/sec. I am only testing straight file copies. There is a firewall which I believe is configured properly. The ethernet interface is running at 10

Hi, I'm running Dovecot 1.2.17 for serving mail via IMAP as well as for providing access to a mailing list archive. The archive is implemented as a public read-only mailbox with per-user index files (i.e. the \Seen flags are per-user). I recently enbled the Squat plugin to accelerate searches in the message bodies and noticed that every user (I'm using a virtual user setup) gets his

Hi, we're running Dovecot 2.1.7 together with Solr for efficient fulltext search. A couple of days ago we reinstalled our Solr server on a new machine. After adjusting our Dovecot setup to use the new server, it took a few days to notice that something seems fishy about our full-text search: expected hits wouldn't be shown among the search results. For instance, one of the folders (a

Having some difficulty finding out whether managesieve is still a separate package (not seeing it in the FreeBSD ports tree, only one for 1.x) or whether it was integrated into the main 2.x package. I've only been using 1.2.x up to now, and trying to document a system install. So is it in the main distribution now? -- Darek

Hi Is it possible to compress incoming mails delivered via dovecots LDA when using dovecot --version 1.2.9 or do i have to compress them via cron?

Hi, I have set up a mail server with dovecot as IMAP/POP3 server, postfix as MTA and roundcube as web mail client. Other mail clients such as Thunderbird is also being used for mail access. Now as a security policy in our organization, I want to know the IP addresses of the machines from which my mail server was accessed. Is there any monitoring tools to get these details? Regards, Suja

Hi, I'm going to migrate my company-mailserver to new hardware. I would like to take the opportunity to archive some older mail. But I would like to have it still accessible, would this be possible with dovecot ? I mean, I would like to put that older mail from different users (I got about 50 users) on some read-only media but mount that media in the users mail-dirs. That way I will have

Hi at all! I'm actually fighting to make sieve in dovecot work and made quite a success by now. However, I still fail at the following constellation: Background: I'm a Mail Admin of a small IT department and we are already using Dovecot as LDA with a filtering server. Any user can easily create filter rules that apply to him (to make it easier for my colleagues we use the Roundcube plugin

Hi! Usually dovecot auto detects or repairs the size of a maildir message. So I can place a message named "foo" in the cur directory and dovecot uses it. Now I tried the same with a zlib compressed message but here dovecot doesn't recognize/repair the size of the message. When I access this folder via IMAP the connection is diconnected and in dovecot logs I see the following
