Re: [qmailtoaster] Re: Dovecot Maximum number of connections from user+IP exceeded

We figured this out. You need to put

mail_max_userip_connections = 30

in the dovecot local.conf file.

maildrop-toaster shouldn't need libcourierauth. The maildrop (repackaged 
for the new QMT) doesn't need it. Yum is trying to remove 
courier-authlib-toaster because dovecot obsoletes 
courier-authlib-toaster. Technically I suppose it doesn't, but it 
obsoletes courier-imap-toaster, and so there's no longer a need for 
courier-authlib-toaster, except apparently for the errant maildrop-toaster.


You should be able to install the dovecot package and tell it to ignore 
dependencies. That should be safe.


Better yet, so long as you're using dovecot's pop3 instead of 
qmail-pop3d, you should be able to remove courier-authlib-toaster. If it 
complains, I'd try removing it ignoring dependencies. If this breaks 
maildrop-toaster for some reason (it shouldn't), then remove 
maildrop-toaster and install maildrop from the new repo.


Let us know what you end up doing, Peter.

Thanks.

I think it's failing because it's trying to get rid of libcourierauth, 
and maildrop-toaster needs that.


If you don't use the spambox option or otherwise use maildrop, you might 
be able to simply remove maildrop-toaster. There might be some 
dependency with qmail-admin though, I'm not sure.


The new packages are pretty much compatible with the legacy *-toaster 
systems though. You should be able to use them in some cases instead 
(dovecot especially), even to the point of using yum to install/update 
them. Note, I haven't personally tried this though, it is only in 
theory. ;)

I would be happy to add to the wiki or send along a white page with 
notes (to add what you find relevant).


I did make a mistake in the process and added the protocol pop3 {...} 
lines (from the wiki) in the local.conf when it was already in the 
toaster.conf file (ooops, but, both are still called by the dovecot.conf 
file; yet makes redundant what was already in the toaster.conf file).  I 
got no duplicate emails in an Outlook client but was spooked by nothing 
coming in, uncomented, restarted the server and got loads of dupes.  
(Again, small company, no problem.) However, I added it back, rebooted 
and still a (different) Mac mail client experienced the same thing.  
(Maybe the redundant protocol info was canceling out; I don't know.)  I 
removed the redundant info from the local.conf file and changed the 
toaster.com file to match what was in the wiki; rebooted.  I won't know 
if duplicates continue to occur until I get a complaint from others...


My question:

The info already in the /etc/dovecot/toaster.conf file for the 
pop_uidl_format line reads # pop3_uidl_format = UID%u-%v instead of 
... %f (as in the qmailtoaster wiki).  I added the line from the wiki 
(...%f) and restarted to follow protocol.  The dovecot.org POP3 
migration instruction shows a server list designating qmail-pop3d: 
pop3_uidl_format = %f (matching the wiki) and the %u and %v options for 
other server designations.  Should I/we be using what was stock in the 
dovecot build you provided me (UID%u-%v) or stick with the %f 
(qmail-pop3d)?  (The answer seems clear but I want to make sure toaster 
doesn't need a special option incorporated into your build...)


Let me know what you would like from me with the wiki...

Thank you, again.

[Eric Shubert]

On 03/19/2014 10:26 AM, Thomas Jaeger wrote:

I did the migration and all looks clear.

A few notes from the experience...

The dovecot RPM installs the /etc/dovecot/toaster.conf file which has
the following config by default:

# Settings for 'stock' qmail-toaster
...
protocols = imap pop3
...

This means that dovecot wants to work for imap and pop3 out of the
box. It wouldn't start until I commented out the pop3 part:

...
protocols = imap #pop3
...

I have no problem using dovecot for both so I followed the qmailtoaster
Replacing Courier IMAP with Dovecot IMAP wiki under Dovecot POP3
(all of it, uncomment the # pop3_uido_format = %f line, clients won't
like reloading 150 duplicate emails...), uncommented the pop3 protocol
and restarted dovecot.  Outlook POP3 clients had no errors but,
Thunderbird, Android and iPhone mailers did.  It's an easy (client)
setting change to encrypt passwords through SSL or STARTTLS; maybe not a
convenient hiccup but it is far better than plain text password
authentication.  The dovecot wiki has a workaround for Thunderbird but,
mine is a small group of clients so it's no great shakes.

I also Timekeeping cron job just for good measure...

Thank you for all the help and work!  I hope this also answers questions
from others.

Courier shouldn't be (and hasn't been) upgraded once dovecot is

I haven't worked out the details yet regarding the new packages on COS5.

your distro/version, e.g:

Sorry about QTP. Disk drive filled up. It's back now.

Looks like you have an incompatible version of dovecot all right.

I wouldn't bother building your own package.

You can go with the qtp version, but that's a little old.

I'd use the version here:
http://mirrors.qmailtoaster.com/testing/CentOS/5/x86_64/
I have this version running in production on COS6/i386 with no problems.
It should be fine on COS5.

Eric,
Thx for that!  I did not realize that about spamdyke, and good to know about

So for me to be absolutely clear - once I add dovecot and remove courier,
QTP upgrade script will not try to add courier back in.  Do I have that
right?

Re: [qmailtoaster] Re: Dovecot migration failure, courier revert failure

[Eric Broch]

I must say, at this point, that I've migrated from Courier to Dovecot on
3 systems and have never had a problem--NOT EVEN ONE.

 I believe it will ask if you'd like to install it. Simply reply N (which
 would be the default).

[Thomas Jaeger]

Thank you for all the help.

Just to clarify, do I want the dovecot-2.2.7-0*.rpm or the dovecot-mysql*.rpm?  
I am using MySQL for passwords.

Thanks.

 Sorry about QTP. Disk drive filled up. It's back now.
 
 Looks like you have an incompatible version of dovecot all right.
 
 I wouldn't bother building your own package.
 
 You can go with the qtp version, but that's a little old.
 
 I'd use the version here:
 http://mirrors.qmailtoaster.com/testing/CentOS/5/x86_64/
 I have this version running in production on COS6/i386 with no problems. 
 It should be fine on COS5.

Good question. You need only the dovecot-2.2.7-0.qt package. While 
vpopmail uses mysql, this version of dovecot has the vpopmail libraries 
included, which also includes libraries for mysql.


IOW, Dovecot uses vpopmail, which uses mysql. Dovecot doesn't access 
mysql directly, so the dovecot-mysql package isn't necessary. There is 
no dovecot-vpopmail (backend) package because, frankly, that would've 
taken a bit more work and I really didn't see enough benefit to justify 
spending time on it.


This might change at some point though. We might configure dovecot to 
use mysql directly, at which time the dovecot-mysql package would be 
required. I don't know though if there's some vpopmail functionality 
which we'd lose by doing so. That will take some investigation. If 
someone's interested in doing this, they're more than welcome to delve 
in. This would allow us to use the upstream dovecot packages directly, 
which is something we want to do as much as possible in the future.


Thanks.

On 03/16/2014 07:23 AM, Thomas M Jaeger wrote:

I am running CentOS 5.10 with an older build of qmailtoaster (2009)
which I have kept up to date with QTP.  With the onslaught of devices
automatically configuring email with IMAP, I wanted to migrate to
dovecot for it's efficiency and larger mailbox size compatibility.

I followed the dovecot upgrade instruction at
http://wiki.qmailtoaster.com/index.php/Replacing_Courier_IMAP_with_Dovecot_IMAP
and experienced an epic fail.  (My fault, I'm sure.)

I used the RPM install through yum as directed.

I backed up the mailboxes (virtual domains - tarred) before running the
migrate tool to test.  I saw that there were no errors and only a few
mailboxes returned the No imap/pop3 uidlist files message:

=
[root@host domains]# /usr/local/sbin/courier-dovecot-migrate.pl --recursive
Testing conversion based on newest timestamps
Finding maildirs under .
DOMAIN 1.com/USER 1/Maildir: No imap/pop3 uidlist files
DOMAIN 1.com/USER 2/Maildir: No imap/pop3 uidlist files
DOMAIN 2.com/USER 1/Maildir: No imap/pop3 uidlist files
DOMAIN 2.com/USER 2/Maildir: No imap/pop3 uidlist files
DOMAIN 2.com/USER 3/Maildir: No imap/pop3 uidlist files
DOMAIN 2.com/USER 4/Maildir: No imap/pop3 uidlist files

Total: 108 mailboxes / 25 users
0 errors
No actual conversion done, use --convert parameter
=

I ran the conversion and saw no errors; changed the squirrelmail config
file to use dovecot.  I created the imap4 Stop Courier instructions
and the mailbox conversion.  When I went to start dovecot, it wouldn't
start because it wanted to control POP3 as well.  I had no problem with
that idea so I followed the Dovecot POP3 instruction.

(Please note that the Edit //etc/dovecot/toaster.conf,/ [...] did not
correlate with my install.  The RPM only installed /etc/dovecot.conf for
a config file.  I also later noticed that the default dovecot config
file lists all mail protocols out of the box; most likely causing my
POP3 problem:

=
...
# Protocols we want to be serving: imap imaps pop3 pop3s
# If you only want to use dovecot-auth, you can set this to none.
protocols = imap imaps pop3 pop3s
...
=

)

However, after the full conversion and starting dovecot with no notable
errors, clients received login errors for pop3, and sguirrelmail
wouldn't login.  (Sorry I didn't save the info as I immediately started
to revert back to courier...as mentioned further...)  Squirrelmail is
not so much the concern here as the fact that POP and IMAP continually
returned errors that the user name and password were not recognized or
they couldn't, otherwise, connect.  I also had a client/user say an
outside sender received an error in sending an email to the server (no
specifics again, sorry).

Panic mode.

So, I attempted to revert back to courier but am still experiencing a
problem...  I stopped then turned off dovecot (chkconfig dovecot off),
moved the converted domain directory, untarred the old domain
directory and put it back into place, removed the down files from the
/var/qmail/supervise pop* and imap* directories and rebooted the
server.  All seemed fine until (POP) clients started getting timeout
errors and squirrelmail returns the message, ERROR: Connection dropped
by IMAP server (nothing else).  They were able to POP the server and
log into squirrelmail, then the services stopped working after an
undetermined amount of time.  I have also experienced the squirrelmail
problem while still able to pop accounts and no errors from email client
software using IMAP.  The only way I can fix this problem is a reboot,
as I really don't know how to restart the courier service or even if
it's the courier service; service qmail restart or qmailctl restart
don't do it.


Restart of qmail service (both methods do the same thing) only restart 
the qmail-smtpd process. Do a stop/start to restart everything.



I understand this is a load of information that is not so very useful in
diagnosing a problem.  However, I really don't know what logs will
provide me (and you) with the error information needed.  I can only seem
to find this in the /var/log/qmail/imap4-ssl/current file:

Well that shoots that theory. ;)

Qmailadmin:

I'm not really concerned about it, and may chase down the problem some 
time. Too busy with COS6 upgrade at the moment. :)



On a related note the large unlimited mailboxes, having no maildirsize 
file, really bog down qmailadmin, since it needs to recalculate it all 
the time. I hope to change that at some point so that all Maildirs have 
a maildirsize file, even for unlimited accounts.



Thanks again Aleksander. I'm really glad to see that quotas appear to 
finally be working, as they were broken for years! I'll be sure to get 
the quota plugin included in the pending dovecot-toaster release.

It does indeed appear to work now from the best I can tell, but I don't 
use quotas for the most part, so it's hard for me to determine.


After a little digging, I see that maildrop plays a role here, which I 
would expect. The /etc/maildrop/mailfilter script makes some delivery 
magic happen. Upon closer examination on one of my QMTs, I see that some 
accounts (mostly NOQUOTA ones) have .qmail files which invoke maildrop, 
but most accounts have no .qmail file at all, so (according to the 
dot-qmail man page) delivery is done according to 
/var/qmail/control/defaultdelivery, which QMT defaults as ./Maildir/. 
This is consistent with what I'm seeing in the maildrop.log file, as 
there are no maildrop delivery messages for these accounts with no 
.qmail file.


On a side note, it appears that the mailfilter script supports the 
spambox processing. It could be that I used to use that but no longer 
do. I'm wondering now if the mailfilter script is intended only for 
spambox accounts. This might be the case.


At the same time, all of the accounts with quotas defined do have what 
appears to be a fairly current maildirsize file in the Maildir 
directory, which based on the time stamps is being created by the 
delivery process. I'm not seeing where this happens, so I presume that 
qmail-local must be doing this, courtesy of the netqmail-maildir++ 
patch. I've not examined the code in this patch, but I'm willing to 
wager that it's there.


Also, I noticed that a few of the components in the mailfilter script 
(maildirmake and deliverquota) are part of courier-imap, so these (at 
least) will need to be included elsewhere (probably in maildrop-toaster) 
if/when courier is removed from QMT before dovecot's LDA is implemented 
(replacing maildrop-toaster). It might be just as well to include 
dovecot's LDA along with dovecot IMAP and POP3 though. I'll have to give 
that some thought.


I seem to recall that some people using dovecot have removed the courier 
packages with no ill effects. I'm guessing that if this is so, then 
they're not using the spambox feature (or maildrop). Can anyone confirm 
this?

2G. I'm guessing from this that quotas 2G might not work (an int size 
limit). Once again, qmailadmin could use a little fixing up.

Some years ago I migrated from old courier-imap to Dovecot, so for
me ,,INBOX.'' prefix is important. With your config file pop3 server is
not started and there is no quota.
My patch helps migration from old courier-imap or Dovecot 1.x to Dovecot
2.0.



Yes, this package does not include pop3. The official release will 
include pop3 (and remove qmail-pop3d).


How does quota work for you? I didn't include that yet figuring it may 
have problems working with vdelivermail. I had anticipated implementing 
this with dovecot's LDA, which will be a future release.


Also, I'm curious what sort of problems you experience with no INBOX. 
prefix. That setting is really lame to me, and I think it'd be best to 
omit it in the stock QMT configuration.


Thanks for your input, Aleksander.

By default, Outlook wants to copy Drafts and Sent Items to folders on
the root of the IMAP directory -- only QMT places those files /inside
/the Inbox folder.


I found this behavior extremely annoying, which is one of the factors 
that drove me to use dovecot.


The QTP (soon to be QMT) configuration for dovecot allows folders to be 
created at the root level, so your personal folders are no longer 
confined to the Inbox.


Note, when converting from Courier to Dovecot, any existing imap 
clients' namespace setting should probably be changed to  (nada) from 
Inbox.


I don't know if Courier can be configured this way (using the root/blank 
namespace) or not. It may be a courier dependency, or it may simply be 
the way Courier has been configured in QMT all along. I don't think it's 
worth spending any time attempting to tweak Courier at this point. You 
could probably have dovecot up and running in the time it'd take to 
figure this out with Courier.


Thanks.

[qmailtoaster] Re: dovecot imap limit

[Eric Shubert]

I should probably get an updated dovecot package made for QMT. I'll put 
that on my list (if I can find my list). ;)


The only on-stock thing I can think of with the build for QMT is 
vpopmail support. Everything else is configuration. IIRC.


Thanks guys!

What is the actual effect of dropped connections? The client just
tries to reconnect? Have you encountered some problems / user
complaints?


As for the IDLE, I'm guessing as cell phones roam (especially in and out of
houses/work, where you have WiFi) the client IP is changing, and then that
previous imap session just times out.  Pure guess there.


I'd buy that :)


I'd still like to be running a more recent version of dovecot tho.  Current
toaster is pushing for 2.0.17, which was released Jan 6th, 2012.  Two minor
versions have been released since then, which will also accounts for a pile
of bugfix revisions between.  Maybe I'll just throw it on there and see what
breaks.  =)  At least the new versions tell me the limits in the error
message.


I don't remember there being anything special about the qtp dovecot
package except for the custom configuration: if you configure it the
same way I think you should be fine. Try and let us know?

Peter

What I have currently on one of my servers running Dovecot with 175
domains is:

   # ps ax | grep dovecot | wc -l
   139

I think the 100 is just a default limit and in Toaster Dovecot it is
higher. Type:

   # doveconf -a |less

and search for part service imap. At least what I have there:

   process_limit = 1024

Searching my logs (starting at the beginning of the year) I can see 15
warnings about client connections being dropped. But my users haven't
complained and I haven't experienced any problems myself...

How many such warnings do you see in your logs?



I'm also seeing alot of:
Info: Disconnected: Disconnected in IDLE bytes=102/1036
Info: Disconnected for inactivity bytes=94/497


I think this is normal behavior and nothing to worry about, I have
thousands of those info msgs in my log.



We've got maybe 200 email accounts, which I think is minimal, but we
have
alot of smartphones constantly checking mail.  Still, I dont think we
should
be reaching our limit of 100.  Being that I am seeing inactivity
disconnects
leads me to believe the clients arnt logging out properly.  So does
anyone
have a recommended setting for an idle timeout (if thats user
configurable)?


I think your limit should be higher than 100? If your are hitting the
limit, it should be just raised.

I think long idle times are normal. Reading the RFC:

http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2177

tells that the client should reissue its idle at least every 29
minutes to avoid being logged off. So if a device having a connection
for example is suspended, after 29 minutes of inactivity the idle
connection is dropped. Of course during this inactivity you see the
dovecot process in your list and this is probably why you see more
processes than you expect.

This is my interpretation of your situation, more experienced Dovecot
admins are free to express their views as well :)

Peter

Thanks for the details. Everything sounds kosher to me.

Let's see what Rajesh comes up with, and we'll take it from there.

Thanks for testing!

Hi Eric.

Just to wrap up my troubles regarding my 2 test/backupmailservers I've
found the issue.

The password was missing/wrong in /home/vpopmail/etc/vpopmail.mysql
So after installing and re-installing many times - on 2 computers I am
running Dovecot 2.0.18 just as fine as my production version 2.0.10.



Thanks for the update, Finn. I presume that 2.0.17 is ok then as well.
Geeze, I can see it's going to be a little rough keeping up with dovecot 
releases. ;)

hi

i installed dovecot version 1 on one of my qmailtoaster boxes a few
months
ago and it worked successfully.

now i have a new box and tried to install dovecot version 2 using
qmailtoaster rpm

http://wiki.qmailtoaster.com/index.php/Replacing_Courier_IMAP_with_Dovecot_IMAP


i followed the instructions as per the above but with default
installation
i am a quite confused because there are so many config files

the config files are all different and i am not sure which options to use

i am getting error as such

telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 143 or port 110 gives error as below

my questions

1) is there some place to get detailed instructions on the
installation or
if anybody is already using the standard installation successfully then
can you please post your config file and installation instructions

2) how better is dovecot pop3 and pop3 compared to normal pop3 of
qmailtoaster, are there any known issues ?

my qmail pop3 is working quite nicely but if dovecot is better then i
could try that.

thanks for all your help.

Re: [qmailtoaster] Re: dovecot installation questions

[Finn Buhelt]

Hey Eric.

SORRY - for the lack of info's. (Dovcot 2.0.17  and Vpopmail-Toaster 5.4.17)

I have installed Qmailtoaster off the shelve from qmailtoaster.org 
(doing exactly as Jake in his video - just to be sure)- and Dovecot 
2.0.17 just like prescribed in the Wiki. Though I have been around some 
installations since the initial one  ranging from Dovecot-2.0.10 to 
2.2.x, - Rpm's, Yum's and compiling myself - same result whenever I try 
to connect to port 110 or 995 (error message as below in Rajesh' mail)  
- cannot start AUTH manually either.


As You may recall (:-) ) I answered Your email regarding Dovecot some 
time ago because I have been running Qmailtoaster and Dovecot quite some 
time now on my production system - back from Dovecot 1.0.7x and 
currently I'm running Dovecot-2.0.10 on Prod and it runs perfectly.


Now, as a test,  I have installed Centos 6.2 with KVM and installed 
Centos 5.7 in a Virtuel machine and it is in here I have the issue.


Mysql is running, I have used the Dovecot.conf from the Install and from 
my production system, I have qtp-restored all my settings from my 
current production system -  nothing  changes the error at all. 
(qmailtoaster runs fine)


Don't spend much of Your precious time on this now, but Your thoughts  
is appreciated

Cheers,
Finn

I wonder if it became broken in 2.0.16, or if it was broken previous to 
that release. In any case, the memory leaks are a little unsettling.


I'll see if I can get 2.0.17 rolled into a QTP release soon.

Thanks Martin.

I don't think we have a dovecot built for centos 4, only 5. You really 
should upgrade, as centos4's end of life is scheduled for 2/29/2012.


You might want to wait for QMT to be ready for centos 6 as long as 
you're upgrading. You should do a fresh install regardless of whether 
you upgrade to 5 or 6.

I have not used this setting. I can't imagine why it wouldn't work with QMT.

I can say that dovecot operates pretty much independently of qmail. They 
could be run on separate hosts for the most part. The 'glue' that holds 
them together is vpopmail which is used for authentication, and also the 
data store (Maildirs). Other than that, dovecot doesn't really know

Page History link in the left column of the page.

Okay - I have now configured a test VM with the latest QMT and the old 
manual dovecot 1.x.  I then upgraded the dovecot to the new RPM 
version of dovecot 2.0.  All went clean with no issues. I used the rpm 
stock dovecot.conf.  The only errors that I got (and they are minor) 
are upon start-up I get this:


Starting Dovecot Imap: doveconf: Warning: NOTE: You can get a new 
clean config file with: doveconf -n  dovecot-new.conf
doveconf: Warning: Obsolete setting in /etc/dovecot/toaster.conf:26: 
protocols=imaps is no longer necessary, remove it

Warning: Corrected permissions for login directory /var/run/dovecot/login

Tested by telneting to 143  993 and I was able to connect just fine.  
One thing I noticed is that when you telnet to 143 you get the dovecot 
banner.  When you telnet to 993 you do not.  Dovecot 1.x does the 
exact same thing.  Just something strange I noticed.


I have made some updates to the wiki (minor). Please check me on them 
and edit them if you see the need, or of course, a better way!


Thanks for your work Eric!

Thanks,
Scott

Okay - everyone stand back!  I'm getting ready to convert / upgrade my 
production server from the manual install of Dovecot 1.x to the latest 
and greatest RPM and Dovecot 2.x

I have now upgraded my production box to the RPM Dovecot (2.0.11)
version and all went smoothly. It actually seems faster on my client at
home (Thunderbird checking three mailboxes (different domains) on the

The conversion took about 5 minutes and the instructions on the wiki

Glad to hear this, Scott. Thanks.

I figured you'd like a bit of feedback for all the work you put into the 
task.


My next step is to take the new machine (VM) I built yesterday and 
perform the replication (from Jake's video) so that we have two servers 
running about 10 minutes apart.  Nothing like a hot backup if one goes down!


I've tried this before and out of three times I've tried, only one has 
worked.  The bad news on that one time that worked is that the server 
and internet speed at the remote site was way too slow, so it caused 
issues and had to be terminiated.  The MySQL replication works perfectly 
every time.  It's the Unison part that failed the last two times.  Cross 
your fingers!


Thanks,
Scott

 My question is this: What are the chances of a blown upgrade following
 the new wiki instructions? Doing the make uninstall and them yum'ing the
 latest Dovecot version?
 
 I ask this because I just moved over a VERY important domain to our
 qmail server that has the Dovecot 1.x running on it right now.
 
 Thanks,

 There's always a chance. I think it's pretty low though.
 
 Has anyone used those instructions yet?
 
 I think I'd install the rpm on a test host, copy the old configuration file 
 you used over there, run doveconf -n against it, and compare the result to 
 what the rpm is using. That should show you which configuration parameters 
 are different.
 
 Also read through the dovecot wiki page(s) regarding upgrades from the 
 version you're running to v2.x, and see if there's anything there that 
 applies to your installation.
 
 I think I didn't say anything explicitly about removing the supervise scripts 
 you created with the other install. You'll need to remove them as well.
 
 Oh, and you might want to update the wiki with anything you come across 
 that's missing or incorrect. ;)

Okay - I have now configured a test VM with the latest QMT and the old 
manual dovecot 1.x.  I then upgraded the dovecot to the new RPM version 
of dovecot 2.0.  All went clean with no issues. I used the rpm stock 
dovecot.conf.  The only errors that I got (and they are minor) are upon 
start-up I get this:


Starting Dovecot Imap: doveconf: Warning: NOTE: You can get a new clean 
config file with: doveconf -n  dovecot-new.conf
doveconf: Warning: Obsolete setting in /etc/dovecot/toaster.conf:26: 
protocols=imaps is no longer necessary, remove it

Warning: Corrected permissions for login directory /var/run/dovecot/login

Tested by telneting to 143  993 and I was able to connect just fine.  
One thing I noticed is that when you telnet to 143 you get the dovecot 
banner.  When you telnet to 993 you do not.  Dovecot 1.x does the exact 
same thing.  Just something strange I noticed.


I have made some updates to the wiki (minor). Please check me on them 
and edit them if you see the need, or of course, a better way!


Thanks for your work Eric!

I don't have this in mine. I don't recall removing it, but perhaps I

rolling a new rpm to fix though.

Looks fine. FWIW, if you touch down to create a file named down in the 
run directory for a service, then supervise will not start that service. 
Just another way to keep a supervise'd service from running.

The imaps line is in toaster.conf, line 26. It currently reads:

protocols = imap imaps

I agree that it is not worth re-rolling the RPM to take care of it.  
I've just removed it from mine. After that I restarted Dovecot and had 
no errors in the log file.

My question is this: What are the chances of a blown upgrade following

I ask this because I just moved over a VERY important domain to our
qmail server that has the Dovecot 1.x running on it right now.

Thanks,

There's always a chance. I think it's pretty low though.

Has anyone used those instructions yet?

I think I'd install the rpm on a test host, copy the old configuration 
file you used over there, run doveconf -n against it, and compare the 
result to what the rpm is using. That should show you which 
configuration parameters are different.


Also read through the dovecot wiki page(s) regarding upgrades from the

What do you have in your dovecot configuration?
(post doveconf -n result)

You should have the following for your inbox namespace
namespace {
  inbox = yes
  location =
  prefix =
  separator = .
  type = private
}

The prefix parameter is the key here, and should be blank.

You also need to have your client configured accordingly. In TBird, 
you'll find this under Server Settings-Advanced in Account 
Configuration. For SquirrelMail, you should have this in your 
config_local.php:

$default_folder_prefix= '';

Similar setting for other clients.

That should do it for you.

Thanks, Michael. I've added a reference to this on the QTP wiki under 
the Utilities section.


Just so people know, fetchmail supports IMAP as well, and can be used to 
do several of the things these scripts do. Fetchmail is pretty versatile.

Just the one I recommended to Scott...  I've used it a couple times to
migrate users from one server to another, usually from a server I don't
control to one I do...when acquiring new users from another ISP...

But, it's also good for migrating from non-qmail servers where filesystems,
etc are different...

There's one other that I use that does single accounts. I use this when
someone moves to our service and wants to pull their existing mail from
another provider and maintain the folder structure...

Since both of these work by basically logging in via IMAP and pulling the
mail, it seems to work pretty reliably, although it's been a while since
I've needed to use them for moving people.  Seems most people don't use
their ISP mail anymore, preferring to use Gmail or something.  But, I do
find it useful for pulling hosting customer's mail...

But, if you look through that page, you might find some that you can think
of that may be useful for other people/other implementations of QMT.  There
are scripts to sync accounts, moving from maildir and Mbox to IMAP,
etc...Although I've never used them.  The creator of the scripts is/was very
helpful.  I had an issue with one of the scritps, e-mailed him, and we went
back/forth for a few day with him making changes, and me testing until it
worked...  I was kind of surprised.  :-)

 To run rsync on windoze, you can install cygwin, and then rsync for 
 cygwin. This would only work with maildir mailboxes.
 
 No telling what dovecot would do with that junk once it got into the 
 maildirs on QMT. You might still have a problem there.
 
 I'd lean toward fetchmail. Fetchmail will retrieve messages via pop3 or 
 imap, and pass them on to qmail-smtpd for scanning and delivery. It's 
 really pretty easy to set up.
 
 Here's a sample /root/.fetchmailrc (config) file:
 [root@tacs-wan ~]# cat .fetchmailrc
 # These are global options
 set no bouncemail
 set postmaster postmas...@mydomain.com
 set syslog
 
 # These are server/user options
 poll remote.domain.com \
  protocol pop3 \
  timeout 120
 username myuser there \
  is myu...@mydomain.com here \
  antispam 554 \
  fetchall \
  password mypass \
  smtphost localhost \
  ssl \
  sslcertck
 
 We should have a wiki page on using fetchmail, if we don't already. It's 
 really pretty versatile.

 rsync would probably be simplest if your old server was using maildir
 format. Good for doing preliminary runs too before cutting over, so
 there's not much mail to migrate after the change.
 
 Otherwise, I think I'd try fetchmail.

When will they ever put 2 drives (for SW raid-1) on laptops?
A: perhaps never. :(
(Ok, I'm ready for someone to chime in with an example of one)
Raid-1 is one of the advantages of a desktop computer I suppose, but I'm 
not switching from my laptop/dock. ;)

RE: [qmailtoaster] Re: Dovecot 2.0.11 rpms for QMT available

[Michael J. Colvin]

Just the one I recommended to Scott...  I've used it a couple times to
migrate users from one server to another, usually from a server I don't
control to one I do...when acquiring new users from another ISP...

But, it's also good for migrating from non-qmail servers where filesystems,
etc are different...  

There's one other that I use that does single accounts. I use this when
someone moves to our service and wants to pull their existing mail from
another provider and maintain the folder structure...

Since both of these work by basically logging in via IMAP and pulling the
mail, it seems to work pretty reliably, although it's been a while since
I've needed to use them for moving people.  Seems most people don't use
their ISP mail anymore, preferring to use Gmail or something.  But, I do
find it useful for pulling hosting customer's mail...

But, if you look through that page, you might find some that you can think
of that may be useful for other people/other implementations of QMT.  There
are scripts to sync accounts, moving from maildir and Mbox to IMAP,
etc...Although I've never used them.  The creator of the scripts is/was very
helpful.  I had an issue with one of the scritps, e-mailed him, and we went
back/forth for a few day with him making changes, and me testing until it
worked...  I was kind of surprised.  :-)

 Otherwise, I think I'd try fetchmail.

 I've used this specific script to migrate users from a competitors mail
 servers to mine when moving a virtual ISP.  Worked like a charm.  That time,
 I ran it on my server and pulled the mail, folders and read status over.
 The customer's never knew they moved...
 
 I've used it to move from one server to another on the same network too.

How is the email stored on the old server? Perhaps use rsync or

If so, do they both support IMAP?

[root@tacs-wan ~]# cat .fetchmailrc
# These are global options
set no bouncemail
set postmaster postmas...@mydomain.com
set syslog

# These are server/user options
poll remote.domain.com \
   protocol pop3 \
   timeout 120
username myuser there \
   is myu...@mydomain.com here \
   antispam 554 \
   fetchall \
   password mypass \
   smtphost localhost \
   ssl \
   sslcertck

We should have a wiki page on using fetchmail, if we don't already. It's 
really pretty versatile.

 rsync would probably be simplest if your old server was using maildir
 format. Good for doing preliminary runs too before cutting over, so
 there's not much mail to migrate after the change.

 Otherwise, I think I'd try fetchmail.

Is it something per RFC, or something unique to your old mail system?

How is the email stored on the old server? Perhaps use rsync or 
fetchmail instead of imapsync? (Never heard of imapsync myself)
I've used imapsync before. It's a perl script that preserves read, 
unread and delete flags

 Same way as you would disable courier imap, as in the wiki page.
 If you created supervise directory trees with run files, you need to put a 
 down file (an empty file, literally named down) next to the run files for 
 the service and the log. This keeps the supervise daemon from starting the 
 service. See examples in the wiki.

I believe you'll need to (re)subscribe to them. I'm not sure if SM can 
do that automatically or not. TB appears to.


Also double check that you have:
$default_folder_prefix= '';
in your /etc/squirrelmail/config_local.php file.

There are other SM configuration parameters that you should use with 
dovecot as well. Here what I'm using:


[root@tacs-web squirrelmail]# cat config_local.php
?php

# Local configuration for Qmail Toaster
# configure to suit your requirements

# these are in toaster config,
# changed/removed for stock dovecot (w/out courier compat config)
# $imap_server_type = 'courier';
# $optional_delimiter = '.';
# $default_folder_prefix = 'INBOX.';
# $delete_folder = true;
# $show_contain_subfolders_option = false;

# these should be added to the toaster config (imho)
$org_name= QmailToaster;
# $org_logo= SM_PATH . 'images/sm_logo.png';
# $org_logo_width  = '308';
# $org_logo_height = '111';
# $org_title   = SquirrelMail $version;
$provider_uri   = 'http://www.qmailtoaster.org/';
$provider_name  = 'QmailToaster';

# these were added so SM authenticates,
# and 127. can be removed from tcp.smtp file.
$smtpServerAddress  = 'localhost';
$smtpPort   = 587;
$smtp_auth_mech = 'login';

# these were added/changed for dovecot imap
$imapServerAddress  = 'localhost';
$imap_server_type   = 'dovecot';
$default_folder_prefix  = '';
# squirrelmail doesn't support starttls until v5,
# so we'll use cram-md5 until then
#$use_imap_tls  = true;
$imap_auth_mech = 'cram-md5';

# these are what's left from stock QMT configuration
$useSendmail  = false;
$optional_delimiter   = 'detect';
$show_prefix_option   = false;
$force_username_lowercase = true;
$hide_sm_attributions = true;
$plugins[] = 'calendar';
$plugins[] = 'notes';
$plugins[] = 'filters';
$plugins[] = 'quota_usage';
$plugins[] = 'unsafe_image_rules';
$plugins[] = 'qmailadmin_login';

That should get you going.

[qmailtoaster] Re: dovecot upgrade

[Eric Shubert]

The wiki instructions were done in a way that's more djb-like, using 
daemontools. The service script is more *nix-like (System-V init 
scripts), which is much more commonly used.


The Linux community is presently moving away from both of these methods, 
and using the Upstart software instead. This is a big improvement, and 
has been embraced by both RHEL (v6) and Debian (and possibly others). I 
expect that Upstart will become the standard linux way of doing boot and 
runlevel processing across all distros.

Some of us are getting dovecot set up on our QMT hosts ahead of the

There's nothing changed that comes into play for a stock QMT though.

I have a few tweaks to do to the configuration files, so I'll be doing 
those changes with 2.0.11, and should have rpms ready for general use by 
the end of the week, and hopefully in a day or two.



BTW there's a nice nix startup script on the Dovecot wiki2 - works fine
with 2.0.11 (and all 2.x.x)


That's a pretty general-purpose script, and would probably be better 
suited for Nigel/Mandriva than the script that's included in the rpm, 
which came from fedora14.

When you do, can you add mdr2010 to save me doing it? ;)

I don't have any mandriva hosts to build with, and I simply don't have 
the time to set that up. Sorry.

Let me know when you're done and let me at the src.rpm and I'll see if I can 
get 
it going on Mandriva 2010.2 before you throw it out there.

[qmailtoaster] Re: dovecot upgrade

[Eric Shubert]

You can grab the src rpm right now. It's not going to change much. Only 
upgrade to 2.0.11 and a few tweaks to the conf files.
