Re: [Dovecot] Restoring a deleted/moved imap folder
Hi Timo, many thanks, I could restore all emails. Regards, Oliver Timo Sirainen wrote: When you delete a folder with Thunderbird it usually renames it under Trash (e.g. box - Trash.box), so you should still be able to rescue it. If Trash was already compacted, then Thunderbird issued a DELETE command which causes Dovecot to unlink() and rmdir() everything. -- Oliver Schulze L. Asuncion - Paraguay http://tinymailto.com/oliver
[Dovecot] Restoring a deleted/moved imap folder
Hi, one user of my imap server just deleted a whole folder, blame thunderbird I have the server disk and running Stellar Info for deleted files recovery. My cuestion is about how dovecot deleted an imap Maildir folder? The imap client is configured to move the deleted mails to the Trash folder, so I think dovecot would delete every Maildir email after successfully moved it. In the case a folder is deleted, is something special dovecot does to the email? Or it just run the unlink() function? In the case of compacting a folder, I think thats just a client side action. Many thanks Oliver -- Oliver Schulze L. | http://tinymailto.com/oliver Asuncion - Paraguay | http://www.solojuegos.mobi
[Dovecot] Thunderbird body search and multiple imap process
Hi, I'm having an issue with dovecot and Thunderbird and it is reproducible all the time. You do many body search from TB and you end up with multiple imap processess consuming all the CPU and with linux load 20+ Setup: - Centos 4.5 - Thunderbird 2.0.0.5 - Dovecot 1.0-7_53.rc29 and 1.0.1-1_58.el4 How to reproduce: - have an imap account in Thunderbird with 12000+ emails - user maildir in dovecot - do a: ps auwx|grep user1|grep imap|wc -l - in the main window of TB, in the sarch box select Entire Message - search one random word and wait 30 seconds - search another random word and wait 30 seconds - search another random word and wait 30 seconds - search another random word and wait 30 seconds - do another: ps auwx|grep user1|grep imap|wc -l - watch that the user1 have now more imap process - watch the linux load, it just rocketed from 1 to 20 - killall -9 imap - watch the linux load return to 1 I'm thinking its TB fault, anyone has seen this issue too?

Hi Timo, thanks for the info. Will look at TB's bugzilla if this is a know issue.

Re: [Dovecot] Is there a connect acl ?
Hi Gabriel, thanks for the suggestion. Will be researching about perdition, google should help. My idea is to open only IMAPS port to the internet, and then limit only a few users the check their email from home. Thanks Oliver Gabriel Millerd wrote: What sort of response would the imap server give? Obviously you allow all sessions to connect else you would handle this with iptables, and when the user/pass/cert is validated and you have the user:rip what response would you give the client? Any security issues are moot since the user/pass is over the wire in order to determine if they have access. -- Oliver Schulze L. | http://tinymailto.com/oliver Asuncion - Paraguay | http://www.solojuegos.mobi
Re: [Dovecot] Is there a connect acl ?
I got the response from Timo, in the shell script i can use the variable $IP which holds the remote IP (rip from syslog) so, doing a grep with the $IP and the subnet will do the trick. Will update the wiki when its done. Thanks Oliver mouss wrote: Oliver Schulze L. wrote: Hi Gabriel, thanks for the suggestion. Will be researching about perdition, google should help.

[Dovecot] Is there a connect acl ?
Hi, I have been reading the acl documentation and it seems that a connect acl is not available. I need to limit the users that can login in an IP number, is that posible with dovecot 1.0? (i.e. only these users can login from the Internet) Or a new plugin should be written? It is complicated to do that?

Re: [Dovecot] Released 1.0.rc31
A feature request is not a bug, so it won't stop the 1.0 release. I think all new feature request are being implemented in the 1.1 devel version, so if your feature is implemented, it will be implemented in 1.0.1 or 1.1 Oliver Daniel L. Miller wrote: I really don't want to stand in the way of the offiicial 1.0 release, and I understand these RC's are intended for bug fixes, not new features - but I have a feature request anyway. It would be quite convenient to have support for multiple SSL server certificates, based on remote IP address. When a single IMAP server supports both LAN clients and WAN clients, at times either or both the domain names or server names may vary - and then a single server certificate results in some clients receiving SSL warnings. It is possible to allow for this using split-horizon DNS - but I'm lazy. I don't really need split-horizon for anything else. -- Oliver Schulze L. | Get my e-mail after a captcha in: Asuncion - Paraguay | http://tinymailto.com/oliver

Re: [Dovecot] Replacing qmail + vpopmail with: sendmail + dovecot.
Hi David, thanks for your email. It would be nice if you have a working dovecot.m4 for sendmail that is different from the one in the wiki. Could you please post your .m4 file? Also, do you use the dovecot deliver LDA ? Have your chmod u+s it? Thanks Oliver David Robillard wrote: Hi, I wonder if it posible to replace qmail + vpopmail with sendmail + dovecot? The idea is like this: - use sendmail + milter API to filter spam/virus and deliver the email to the dovevot MDA (LDA) - dovecot should save the email to the directory as specified in the vpopmail DB - maintain the vpopmail BD (users + passwd) - use dovecot pop3/imap for the clients - use sendmail again to receive the email from the pop3/imap users and deliver the email to the internet as usual. Anyone has done this? It is posible in the paper, in the real world? Hi Oliver, We run sendmail + dovecot on FreeBSD for around 3500 users. It runs smooth. We also run two other FreeBSD machines with Sophos PureMessage for Anti-SPAM and Anti-Virus cleanup which is linked via sendmail's milter. You're going to need Procmail to link sendmail and dovecot for local mail delivery to the user's mbox or Maildir, which ever you prefer. We're using Maildir here to serve both IMAP over SSL and POP3 over SSL. If you need any help in the setup of sendmail + procmail + dovecot, just tell me. Of course, if you're more experienced with Postfix, then use it. IMHO it's not as flexible as sendmail. But YMMV.

[Dovecot] How does vpopmail support works?
Hi, I'm still trying to migrate a running qmail + vpopmail to sendmail + dovecot. I need the milter stuff from sendmail. I got sendmail + dovecot running using the migrated tables from the vpopmail DB, but I'm facing the UID problem in pop3. So, now I'm following the vpopmail authdb path. My questions are: - what do I need, a running vpopmail server (lib + binary, etc)? - or only the DB? This is on Centos 4.4 Many thanks Oliver -- Oliver Schulze L. | Get my e-mail after a captcha in: Asuncion - Paraguay | http://tinymailto.com/oliver
