I'm trying to get the snarf plugin working with dovecot 2.0.7. Specifically, I want to use the UW-IMAP style optional snarfing. I'm looking at the wiki2 documentation. The first question is whether the UW-IMAP optional snarfing will require any changes to the mail_location. The first section suggests (but doesn'...

I've now upgraded dovecot from 2.0.21 to 2.1.10 and the good news is I no longer see dovecot crashing when loading the snarf plugin however snarf still does not do anything except make the inbox disappear. I've come to the conclusion that either snarf does not actually work, possible, but I doubt it, or more likely I have a configuration issue preventing it from working. The system is simple, all email is stored in...

...stem and have been running into issues with it so I've decided to move to Dovecote, so far it seems to have solved the issues I've been having however I need/want to move the incoming emails out of /var/spool/mail/{user} in the same (or similar fashion) that uw-imap did, and I found the snarf plugin. However whenever I enable the snarf plugin using the example on the wiki page my email is not loaded and when I remove my configuration for snarf my email re-appears. Based upon what I can tell the snarf plugin is either not loading (but I see it listed in the logs) or simply not work...

Hi, We are planning to use Dovecot-2.0.5 (Maildir format) as IMAP server. Currently, we are using Postfix+UW-Imap (mbox format) with the following configuration: - Postfix: Sends new messages to /var/mail/user - UW-IMAP: Reads mails from /var/mail/user and moves them to ~/nsmail/mbox Using that configuration, when a user overtakes his HOME?s quota, the MTA is still able to send new messages

http://dovecot.org/patches/mbox-snarf-plugin.c Also committed to CVS HEAD. Usage: mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u protocol imap { mail_plugins = mbox_snarf } protocol pop3 { mail_plugins = mbox_snarf } plugin { mbox_snarf = ~/mbox } If ~/mbox doesn't exist, nothing special is done. If ~/mbox exists, it...

I'm getting this error: May 1 09:09:30 tr27n12.aset.psu.edu syslog: PSU mbox-snarf name is INBOX May 1 09:09:30 tr27n12.aset.psu.edu dovecot: Panic: IMAP(tstem38): file istream-mail-stats.c: line 75: assertion failed: (ret != -1 || stream->istream.eof || stream->istream.stream_errno != 0) Will this error go away before the general 1.2 release? Thanks, Jonathan

I'm having a problem with mbox snarf not looking at /var/spool/mail/ when in idle mode thus never giving me a RECENT line even though there are new messages in /var/spool/mail/ . Here are the imap commands to reproduce the problem: 1 login userid password 2 select inbox 3 idle When I run "select inbox" it does see...

Hello everyone, I tried to compile the mbox-snarf-plugin.c (downloaded today, so I assume it's the most recent version available) on AIX 5.3 with gcc 4.0. Building Dovecot 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 works fine. [root at aix root]# export DOVECOT=/root/dovecot-1.0.1 [root at aix root]# gcc -fPIC -shared -Wall -I$DOVECOT -I$DOVECOT/src/lib -I$DOVECOT/...

this command fails when the snarf plugin is enabled. 5 status inbox (UIDNEXT MESSAGES) with the error: Dec 10 13:57:57 tr27n12.aset.psu.edu dovecot: imap(tstem38): Panic: file index-transaction.c: line 71: assertion failed: (box->opened) If it isn't easy to reproduce, I'll spit out the config. thanks, Jonathan -...

...tion. So here goes: The scenario at Michigan Technological University stems from long standing traditions and policies that probably won't change. That said, two of the policies are 1.)we don't bounce mail and 2.)we guarantee delivery when we accept a piece of mail. The UW IMAP "snarf" capability was nice because it allowed us to introduce file system, per user quotas w/o worrying about the "INBOX" in an over quota situation. This is because the user could still read mail. The delivered mail would get "snarfed" from /var/mail/user when the user wen...

Two weeks ago we switched all our IMAP users (around 25,000) from the Washington IMAP server to Dovecot, and since then there have been several occasions when reading new email just hangs, and duplicate emails appear. We are using the 'snarf' plugin to copy new email to the inbox, and it looks as though the problems are caused by file locking. We have been using the Washington IMAP server for a number of years without any file locking problems, so the underlying file locking mechanism is robust. Has anyone else seen this problem ?...

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Is is possible to specify multiple maildir location in mail_location? (default_mail_env in my case since I'm using version 1.0.rc15/debian etch). What I want to achieve is receive mail in /var/spool/mail, which is going to contain 1 Maildir per user, and have /home/%u/Maildir/ to store (move) messages from spool location. Postfix is taking care

Running dovecot version 2.0.11.

...te that no /home/$user/.imap_mail/inbox has been created although a inbox is shown in Thunderbird. When I move the saved message from Drafts to the inbox folder shown in Thunderbird, it gets saved in /var/mail/$user instead of /home/$user/.imap_mail/inbox, I guess this is due to the use of the mbox_snarf plugin, right? /home/$user/.imap_mail/inbox is the maildrop for Exim, which handles incoming mails, but in this scenario the user did not receive any emails yet. If I manually create /home/$user/.imap_mail/inbox, then moving a message from Drafts to the Thunderbird-displayed inbox works. How to...
