[Bug 581718] Re: dovecot upgrade purposely breaks working configuration
1) it was working by pure luck; it was never suposed to work 2) actually, there is; look at comment #6 3) for a reason - security 4) ?? It's not ignoring the issue. It's just that you are using 'mailbox' path, which starts with 'maildir:' as a home variable. That's just wrong, weather dovecot works or not. Your home isn't 'maildir:/home/user'. It's '/home/user'. If you think that is wrong and that 'home' should be 'maildir:/home/user', bring this to upstream cause Ubuntu will not diverge on this one. It's just pointless. MDS doesn't set 'home' attribute wrong. Look at it in your LDAP - I'm sure it's just '/home/something'. Problem is that you linked 'mailbox' LDAP attribute with 'home' variable in dovecot in dovecot-ldap.conf. -- dovecot upgrade purposely breaks working configuration https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/581718 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to dovecot in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 581718] Re: dovecot upgrade purposely breaks working configuration
I don't set the home field manually. It's set by Mandriva Directory Server. I think that the error come from that mail and home are, on my config, un I find it very wrong to consider that as a user fault because : 1) it was working previously and al least one existing configuration (mine) was working fine with it. 2) there's no rule that say that it's bad to return maildir:. It's just lazyness from the programmer : consider it user fault instead of correcting it. 3) the software understand perfectly what the user want without any possible confusion and decides arbitrarly to give an error 4) the error message is not related to that issue. I understand perfectly how this bug can be considered as user fault, not a bug but IMHO just putting the head in the sand. Well, in the end, I agree that it's a broader consideration (and less urgent ;-) ) -- dovecot upgrade purposely breaks working configuration https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/581718 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to dovecot in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

chuck : the link is *not* a patch to solve the issue. The link is a patch that introduced the issue itself. The question is : what should people do if they have this error ?

[Bug 581718] Re: dovecot upgrade purposely breaks working configuration
I'm using absolute path. The problem is that the path was given by LDAP with : user_attrs = mailbox=home (this is what is recommended in the documentation) It seems that, for whatever reason this string is passed directly to the code and used as home. But because it starts with maildir:, it fails the test first character is /. The workaround so far was to disable mailbox from ldap and use directly mail_location = maildir:/home/mail/%u I've seen a similar symptom on dovecot mailing list and the dev reply something like this is wrong, remove the maildir:. It's really a pitty because a lot of usecases are now broken because of a poor implementation of one very specific test. The error message is also not really informative. -- dovecot upgrade purposely breaks working configuration https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/581718 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to dovecot in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 581718] Re: dovecot upgrade purposely breaks working configuration
home isn't a mail_location path. It's home path. In your ldap mailbox should look like this: /home/mail/x...@xyz.com If it looks like: maildir:/home/mail/x...@xyz.com then you are using that wrong. http://wiki.dovecot.org/UserDatabase/ExtraFields - those are extra fields that are supported. -- dovecot upgrade purposely breaks working configuration https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/581718 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to dovecot in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
