[Dovecot] Error: User doesn't have home dir set, disabling duplicate database
Hi all I receive the following error in my mail.log. Does anybody know how to configure dovecot to get rid of this ? I have one server up and running with postfix, dovecot and a mysql backend. The error above happens on another server with postfix, dovecot and a ldap backend. Any hints ? Mit freundlichem Gruß Carsten Laun-De Lellis Dipl.-Ing.

Hi
First of all thank you for helping me to fix the problem. I am trying out
ldap to get used to it. As I wrote I have a mysql setup up and running.
Here's the output of doveconf -n:
# 2.1.9: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf

protocol sieve {
mail_max_userip_connections = 10
managesieve_implementation_string = Dovecot Pigeonhole
managesieve_logout_format = bytes=%i/%o
managesieve_max_line_length = 65536
And here is also my auth ldap file:
uris = ldap://smtp.example.com
dn = cn=admin, dc=example, dc=com
dnpass = secret
tls = no
base = ou=mailuser,dc=example,dc=com
ldap_version = 3
user_attrs = home=/vmail/%d/%n,=uid=5000,=gid=5000
user_filter = ((objectClass=PFMailAccount)(pfMail=%u))
pass_attrs = pfClearPassword=password
pass_filter = ((objectClass=PFMailAccount)(pfMail=%u))
default_pass_scheme = PLAIN
Again thank you very much for any help.

[Dovecot] clucene build warnings?
Hi all/Timo, Is clucene still the best/recommended method for enabling full text search? Although I haven't enabled FTS yet, I plan on doing sometime in the future, and was going to be using clucene, but before I do, I'd like to see if I need to worry about an issue I've been seeing ever since I first installed clucene (and still get every time it is upgraded)... I run gentoo linux on an amd64 server, and have always gotten this warning whenever it is updated (and also got it when I first installed it): QA Notice: Package triggers severe warnings which indicate that it may exhibit random runtime failures. /var/tmp/portage/dev-cpp/clucene-2.3.3.4-r4/work/clucene-core-2.3.3.4/src/core/CLucene/index/DocumentsWriter.cpp:129:33: warning: passing NULL to non-pointer argument 2 of ‘void* memset(void*, int, size_t)’ Please do not file a Gentoo bug and instead report the above QA issues directly to the upstream developers of this software. Homepage:http://clucene.sourceforge.net/ Has anyone else ever seen similar warnings when building clucene? Is the gentoo ebuild output correct that this is not a gentoo bug, but is in fact a problem with upstream? If so, is it harmless? Or should I try to get upstream to fix it? That said, being that ianap, I probably wouldn't be much help to them, so, Timo, any chance you can see if this is a problem that needs to be addressed with them? Thanks, -- Best regards, Charles

Or you can use the default_fields stanza in your userdb configuration to provide those values. user_attrs would then be empty. Grüße, Sven. -- Sigmentation fault. Core dumped.
[Dovecot] doveadm backup - Fatal: All your namespaces have a location setting.
Hello list,
I am using dovecot v2.1.9 and have a problem with doveadm backup:
# doveadm backup -u u...@domain.com
maildir:/backup/domain.com/user/Maildir
doveadm(u...@domain.com): Fatal: All your namespaces have a location
setting. It should be empty (default mail_location) in the namespace to
be converted.
Here my namespace config:
namespace {
list = children
location =
maildir:/var/vmail/%%d/%%n/Maildir:INDEX=/var/vmail/%d/%n/shared/%%u
prefix = Gemeinsame-Postfaecher/%%u/
separator = /
subscriptions = no
type = shared
}
namespace inbox {
inbox = yes
location =
maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir:INDEX=/var/vmail/indexes/%u
prefix =
separator = /
subscriptions = yes
type = private
}
Have I got a problem with my namespace config?
Regards,
Tobias Hachmer
Re: [Dovecot] Edit an existing message or replacing it
Quoting Mostafa Rokooie mostafa.roko...@gmail.com: I want to know is there any solution to edit an existing message in mailbox via IMAP? or replace it with a new message (store a new message with same UID)? You **can't** alter an existing UID message. You have to re-add the message to the mailbox and use a new UID. For this, you have 2 options: 1.) FETCH the message, alter it locally, APPEND the message to the server, and DELETE the original message. 2.) Use CATENATE to create a new message, and DELETE the original message (this is how we strip attachments from a message). Note that not all IMAP4rev1 servers support CATENATE. michael

I am using Dovecot 2.1.9 with a LDAP backend, so I cannot do any sort of SQL trickery. Address rewriting should be done in the MTA. I see no point why this should be done in the LDA? Regards Daniel Agreed, I was just hoping I would not have to poke around the existing Sendmail setup we have here, in the end it turned out the backslashes were leftover legacy crud in some of the LDAP entries that actually did nothing.
