Hi, I have got iterate_query defined in dovecot-sql.conf.ext. However when I run a command like: doveadm search -A BEFORE 10d I receive an error message (Failed to iterate ...) There is an error message in a log file too: Error: Trying to iterate users, but userdbs don't support it The problem is that monitoring a database server shows that dovecot does not try to execute any query. What

Hello All, I have built up my email server with exim + dovecot + clamv/spamassasin. I am using exim as LDA(local delivery agent). I was reading about using dovecot as LDA but I couldn't find why should I use it? Now, I am looking expert advice on "Why should I use dovecot LDA" ? Is there any benefit in terms of functionality or performance ? Any advice/suggestion/feedbacks

I'm using Dovecot's sieve extensions quite happily, they are very good! Thanks for all who worked on them. I have a question that maybe is appropriate for a sieve-specific discussion list, so if there is one I should post to instead, please let me know: I've poked through the sieve vacation RFC and all the documentation I can find and I cannot figure out how to do this. It's

Hi, we have customers with Exchange servers that are polling for new mail every minute with dozens of pop3 accounts. I am looking for a mechanism to rate limit this per user. So what I am looking for is a way to block users from polling, if a user asks for new mail more than every 5 minutes (for example). Is this possible? Can this be achieved within Dovecot or does it need external scripting?

Hi all Is it possible to configure Dovecot's sieve plugin to act on message arrival to folders, other than INBOX? I wish to move messages fetched by pop3 fetcher to special folder, or sort outgoing mail to folders, specific to their recipients. Thanhs in advance, WBR, valery

Hi all, I've a problem with dovecot-2.1.10. At time we use dovecot-1.2 without zlib. We setup a new server with dovecot 2.1.10. After syncing the emails everything looks fine. But if we use zlib plugin all new emails have no content. There are a lot of "Error: Maildir filename has wrong S value" log entrys. So we have compiled dovecot-2.0.18 and we use exactly the same

Hi, I would like to add a feature to my email-client (Thunderbird) which stops emails from showing up until a specific time (e.g. having buttons for: show again this evening, tomorrow, next week, next month ...). As far as I've learned this is not possible with IMAP: - storing the 'do-not-show-until-time' within a custom header-field requires down- and uploading of the whole email and

Hi, I run dovecot version 2.1.7 and postfix 2.9.6. I'm using dovecot-lda as local delivery. I use virtual users and need to use catch-all for some of my domains. My problem when using catch-all is that I got a separate email for each recipient. As an example: If I send mail to: test1 at test.org, test2, test3 at test.org, test4 at test.org and have a catch-all which will send this mail to

Hi, is there a sieve option that can reject a mail directly without creating a new mail and sending that out? I know about reject "Reject message goes here"; but I am looking for a mechanism that can reject Mail. Postfix can use reject_unverified_recipient to connect to LMTP and ask if a mail would successfully be enqueued and will return the status gotten from the LMTP server if not.

We consider deploying a two server active-active setup with dsync replication for ~2500 users. I was wondering how people handle sieve script synchronization in such setups. We came up with a few options for syncing: 1) rsync/unison ~/sieve every x seconds 2) move sieve dirs to separatate partition and sync with gluster or drbd 3) patch roundcube managesieve sieve plugin to upload

Hi. TL/DR version: Is it advisable to invoke an spam checker from the sieve script, and then, once the message is filtered, decide if should be moved to a certain spam folder? A bit more context on why I'm considering this: I'm just a geek who wants to handle his own mail, but not a great experience as a system administrator. I don't have any corporate setup, just a simple VPS

Hi Timo, using http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Migration/Dsync for migration i am getting this in periods dsync(sys4-test-2 at example.de): Info: INBOX: Couldn't keep all uids dsync(sys4-test-2 at example.de): Warning: Mailbox changes caused a desync.

Finally got Dovecot to work on ports 100 and 143. I would like to a) Learn about ACL esp on port 110 as there are still yodellaks that try to brake in on port 110. b) Setting up separate SSL cert for imaps and pop3s. -- For effective Internet Etiquette and communications read http://catb.org/jargon/html/T/top-post.html, http://idallen.com/topposting.html &

Greetings, A probably simple question and answer: can a sieve script be executed on outgoing messages? I already use deliver on postfix, perhaps the sieve script could be executed when saving to the Sent folder? Regards, -- Marcio Merlone

Hi, My setup: Dovecot 2 latest, installed to replace courrier IMAP, and off course configured with the dot separator and all folder under INBOX.*. The problem: My phone was driving me mad during the test, due that it will only recognize Inbox. How found the solution: I've started sniffing IMAP traffic on my server and ended up with one difference: On courier it ask for namespace, on

# dovecot --version 1.2.15 We're trying to migrate a server from Cyrus to Dovecot, and we're mostly there. On Cyrus, the folder layout in the MUA is: INBOX subfolder subfolder ... Sent Drafts Queue Trash Users cannot create sibling folders to the Inbox, only subfolders (and sub-subfolders, etc). We've replicated that with:

Hi all, Thunderbird has an option to detach attachments from (for example) sent items. I've tried it, and it does not work, and also in the dovecot logs I don't see anything interesting meanwhile. Before looking deeper into this: Does anyone here know if this option is known to work, or not? We're running dovecot 2.1.7 on debian wheezy. Removing unwanted attachments is a nice
