similar to: Running spamc during LMTP delivery

Hi, I am trying to deploy dovecot LDA and liking it so far. However, I need to pass the message through some filters before it's delivered to the user (e.g. spamc). I realise I can just set up a chain (postfix delivers to spamc, pipes to foo, pipes to bar, pipes to deliver), but there's no reliable error handling with that approach. Furthermore, I cannot seem to figure out whether sieve

Hi list, I understand that dovecot's deliver does a little more than deliver: it also updates the dovecot metadata stored with each Maildir. Thus, if I use deliver as opposed to procmail's internal Maildir delivery, it seems that the IMAP server later has less work to do since the metadata is can use are up to date. Doing this, however, incurs an extra process for each mail delivered. I

Hi, I am using the Debian dovecot packages and the deliver LDA from postfix, all version 1.0.beta8. My problem is with quota support, I am using Maildirs. The relevant configuration stuff is included at the bottom of this email. Quota support seems to work with IMAP. However, even when IMAP complains about an account being over quota, the deliver LDA still happily writes new mail to the (correct)

Hi, we are using dovecot IMAP in a complex virtual setup with almost 4000 accounts; postfix hands over to deliver for local delivery into a home directory as stored in the SQL database. That's /srv/vmail/$DOMAIN/$LOCALPART for most of them, but I'd rather not hardcode this scheme anywhere as it's in SQL. By a policy change, we need to insert a filter in this chain and the filter must

Dear list, I am running dovecot 1.2.15 on a Debian server. One user reports continuous problems synchronising her mailbox via IMAP (offlineimap, via SSH tunnel or SSL socket). It seems that she has a large, locally-created message, but the uplink bandwidth seems to be not enough to push it before dovecot times out the APPEND command. The error/exception happens inside offlineimap's Python

Dear list, I am experimenting with a new mail handling setup and it involves a single IMAP folder with just under 70'000 messages. When OfflineIMAP connects to the server, the imap process starts to eat up a lot of memory: PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 15607 madduck 35 19 283m 244m 239m D 16.9 49.3 0:09.96 imap On the contrary, when

Hello, I'm tasked with establishing a persistent SSH connection across a very unreliable link, for a remote port forward (always port 2217). I figured I'd use ServerAliveInterval to make sure that the ssh(1) process dies when the connection appears down, and I use systemd to restart it in this case. This works fine. What does not work fine, however, is the server-side. If the connection

Hi guys, now that violations.d/logcheck is empty, violations.ignore.d/logcheck-* are useless and many messages that were previously elevated and filtered there now turn up as system events. Thus, I went ahead and merged violations.ignore.d/logcheck-* into ignore.d.*/* in the viol-merge branch. http://git.debian.org/?p=logcheck/logcheck.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/viol-merge Unless I hear

I am a bit at a loss here with Sieve (pigeonhole) and the spamtest extension. I am using Dovecot 2.1.7 (backported to Debian squeeze), which comes with Pigeonhole 0.3.0. Messages are scanned with SpamAssassin, which adds a header like X-Spam-Status: Yes, score=84.6 required=5.0 tests=? and so I configured spamtest in conf.d/90-plugin.conf like so: sieve_spamtest_status_type = score

Dear list, we would really like to be able to "invite a third and fourth party" to our current one-on-one call. At the moment, we have to agree to dial into MeetMe 10 minutes later, then make calls to the third parties, and hope it all works out. I have found a couple of examples on the Internet for converting channels into conferences, but I could not get any of them working. Does

Hey folks, I can park a call with #70 after enabling that feature in features.conf. However, once I retrieve the call from the parking lot, #70 cannot be used to park it again. Worse yet, none of the keys defined in the featuremap work anymore, include blindxfer or automon. Any ideas what may be the problem? -- martin | http://madduck.net/ | http://two.sentenc.es/ "man sagt nicht

Hi there, I found that with an IMAP command like <unique-leader> STORE 1 +FLAGS (testflag) I can set arbitrary flags on mails through the dovecot IMAP daemon. This rules. Now I wonder, however, how I can remove those flags, which become properties of the folder, really. For instance, after the above, SELECT on the containing folder gives: * FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen

Hi folks, According to the wiki,? it's considered a feature of Dovecot and its ability to support multiple authentication sources that "if the password doesn't match in the first database, it checks the next one". ?) http://wiki.dovecot.org/Authentication/MultipleDatabases I think it's great that Dovecot allows auth sources to be stacked like this, but I am not sold on the

Hey folks, As most of everyone, I use OpenSSH for almost everything and whenever I can: backups, sync, Git, configuration management, and of course console sessions. So much for an intro ;) My laptop and I roam between three networks, though sometimes I leave the laptop at the office overnight, or hop over to the third site for an hour or two. I'd like to find a way to configure OpenSSH (or

Hey folks, I am trying to get an E65 to connect to asterisk, and I would really appreciate a second set of eyes. The SIP dialog completes fine, but the phone subsequently says "Registration failed". I am in a network that has what seems to be a SIP-capable NAT gateway, but the asterisk is configured nat=yes anyway. Using a softphone (twinkle), I can connect just fine, SIP and RTP work.
