Hi. I test expire plugin for my dovecot 1.1.8. But, it seems to not work. I have 3 mailboxes on my machine. I want my messages in Junk and Trash expire after 1 day. I removed all messages in them before installing expire plugin. See my dovecot.conf: expire: Trash 1 Junk 1 expire_dict: proxy::expire My dabatases in /var/lib/dovecot are used. When I launch /usr/local/sbin/dovecot

Hello. I use expire plugin with dovecot 1.1.10.

Hi dovecot at . I use the last dovecot (1.1.7) with sieve-plugin. All works perfectly. However, I would like to use a "copy" function. All mail sent by "toto at domain.tld" have to be copied in a folder (copy, and not move). So, I don't want to use a fileinto rule. I see in http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve there is a copy function (1.1 only). A rule like: if header

Hello, I use Dovecot 1.0.12 with Postfix on FreeBSD. It works perfectly, but I have a question. My users are virtual (stocked in a MySQL database). I use SASL Dovecot authentification, and SASL uses my userdb (for POP/IMAP access). However, I would like my users have an other login/password to send email with SMTP/SASL. Or, I don't want my users use the same login/password for POP/IMAP

Hello, Is it possible to specify a maildir to a fileinto rule in a sieve file? A simple: require "fileinto"; if header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" "YES" { fileinto ".Junk"; } does'nt work becaise .Junk is a directoty, not a mailbox... See my dovecot-deliver log: Couldn't open mailbox .Junk: Invalid mailbox name Mar 12 09:52:38 helm

Hello, I use a simple sieve file like: require "fileinto"; if header :contains ["From"] ["root"] { redirect "test at domain.com"; } When I send an email with root to this user, I have this error in my deliver log: Mar 12 09:43:18 helm deliver(user at domain.net): open(~/.temp.hostname.net.53398.23c1b1a363c2c4e8) failed: No such file or directory Mar

Hello, I would like to know if it could be appears problem using POP and IMAP in a mailbox? Is it adviced to use one of the two protocols? My users use IMAP to see their emails (in the webmail) and POP3 to download their emails (in outlook/thunderbird). Is it best to use the same protocol? POP and IMAP have the same quota engine? Thanks. -Nicolas

Hello. I would like to know it a 'proper' solution exist to get the size (in MB) of a maildir. Actually, to get it, I do a 'du -sh' but I'm not sure it is a good solution. And it does not return the same value than imap-quota. Is there a command, a tool, in Dovecot to get it? There is the maildirsize but it's very difficult to get the value with a script shell and with

Hello. I'm reading http://wiki.dovecot.org/Quota/1.1 one last time before my upgrade, and I have a question about quota_warning option. Which type of script must we use for this example: quota_warning = storage=95%% /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh 95 What the script must doing? It sends an email? It deletes some emails? Thanks! -- -Nicolas.

Hi I'm trying to log my users imap actions, like when creating a folder, moving an email or deleting an email. So I've enabled 'mail_debug' and I'm checking /var/log/dovecot/debug.log this is what happens when I delete an email: Nov 26 07:46:38 auth-worker(1555): Debug: sql(XXX,127.0.0.1): query: SELECT password FROM mailbox WHERE username = 'XXX' and active = 1 and

Hello. I upgraded my dovecot to 1.1. I use the FreeBSD port. However, I can't use the expire plugin. See the error: Unknown dict module: db expire plugin: dict_init() failed I see on the mailing list another mail like this problem. And the problem is the imap library is not linked to libdb. Is there a solution? Have I to contact the FreeBSD maintainer to link the binary to the library?

Hello. I see dovecot 1.1 will be release very soon. I'm thinking about a migration from my 1.0.14. The migration job will be hard/long? I see in http://wiki.dovecot.org/Upgrading/1.1 that dovecot-uidlist file are in a new format. It will be problem for Courier (pop/imap) upgrades? (today, I often upgrade old mailboxes in Courier to my Dovecot server). Best regards, -- - Nicolas.

Hello. I would like to have rights like 750 in my mailboxes (in /var/mail/vmails/domain.tld/user). http://wiki.dovecot.org/DovecotServerInstallations/RHEL/2_Users?highlight=(mask) I see an option called umask (in dovecot.conf). I set umask = 0750 in dovecot.conf. This option add good rights to directories, but not to the mail received (always in 700). Do you have a solution? Thanks. -- -

Hi, OK. I tried your suggestion. I modified the dovecot config file "10-logging.conf", like so: log_path = syslog and mail_debug = yes It appears that the logging goes to "/var/log/maillog", not "messages" as I expected. Restarting service dovecot produces info in the "maillog" file showing the restart: ... Jan 22 15:20:14 coe dovecot: imap: Server

Hi, there! Well, I am new to dovecot, so please be patient with me: I have a virtual server and want to setup simple mail delivery. postfix, saslauthd and dovecot basically work fine. The only open issue is, that (I guess) dovecot doesn't remove the mail when it's retrieved via pop3 from the server. It keeps sending me the same emails again and again. (The mail client (Thunderbird) is

Hi, I am trying to use the logs to show the IP that brute force activity comes from, but Im not succeeding. I have read the archives and seen the advice others have had. I can see logs for repeated bad logins, but I need the IP address from the attempts. dovecot 2.0.12 / CentOS 5.4 / imaps only (993) I have tried a bunch of different combinations of 10-logging.conf settings. This is what I have

Hello. I use dovecot 1.1.8 in a FreeBSD 6.3 Today, I want to active expire plugin. But it does not work. I made instructions described in http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Expire for a bdb database.

Hello, I have a curious phenomenon. Dovecot logs normally to /var/log/maillog. If I restart my server, dovecot loggs to /var/log/audit/audit.log. If I restart dovecot, dovecot loggs to /var/log/maillog again. And I think, wenn logrotate is restarting, dovecot logs to audit.log. But I don't know why. Any Ideas? greetings Ralf

When logs (e.g. /var/log/maillog) are rotated (e.g. to /var/log/maillog-YYYYMDD) is there a way via systemd or whatever to assign read permission to a specific group? Right now, for example - ls -l maillog* -rw------- 1 root root 3105240 Mar 13 22:04 maillog -rw------- 1 root root 1079031 Feb 24 04:39 maillog-20190224 -rw------- 1 root root 7237640 Mar 1 12:59 maillog-20190228 -rw------- 1
