[Dovecot] Problems with Shared Mailbox
Hi,
i've installed dovecot on a new mailserverand try to set up some shared
mailboxes. I have everiting up an runnig so far.
I have 3 mboxes to be shared.

/etc/mail/runde is a shell script to capture various status of the
delivery attempt, incl. a strace log.
Below are the last lines of the strace.
Actually, I expected deliver to _tempfail_ the delivery attempt with out
of quota. However, the mail is lost, I guess, because sendmail received a

Re: [Dovecot] dovecot-dspam-integration
Hi, Usually dspam is able to either pick out the user from the signature (uid in signature setting for dspam) or from the user it's running under. I guess you're running some virtual user setup? Hmm, with my dspam patched or unpatched (to ignore the domain in the case of patch) this doesn't work for me. I am definitely NOT using virtual users (I have always had problems with doing that on qmail, sendmail and postfix, so I avoid it if possible). So your imap binaries are running as the real users? Oh. Do you use the dspam client/server setup? I am running dspam 3.8.0 which is the first version I have actually installed and used. I think I'm still on 3.6.something, latest debian/testing packages. Ok, well, I am meaning that if a message is available and its signature is your code handles everything properly right now (not for a cron job but for immediate action). Right. Ok, good to see that confirmed :) I believe we should fix it, if dspam would allow, to learn it as spam using --corpus or what not if that is still available and the appropriate option. However, this wasn't my complaint. Ah, it would allow that, but I'm not sure that's desirable. I'd have to look into the dspam docs more as to when you want to use that etc. My complaint is that an email which is in SPAM should move out, even if it gives a warning (if that is possible) so that email can be saved. I am not talking about reclassifying things as spam or not spam. Does that make any sense? Hmm. How did that mail end up in SPAM when it doesn't have a signature? I only move mail into SPAM that was classified by dspam as SPAM so hence also has a signature. Anyway, I hope the patch I sent a moment ago helps. I took the idea from the acl plugin. I am not sure if it works in a virtual environment or not. I don't know if it works there either :) I'll try the patch on my system and if it doesn't break anything I'll roll it in. Don't hold your breath though, it'll probably take me a week or two. However, as I said, I haven't been able to get dspam to recognize the user from the signature. Would you mind sharing your dspam.conf file and compile options so I can see if there is something in my setup which is broken. (My compile options are a bit custom, but the dspam.conf is pretty much the suggested on in doc/ for postfix.) I didn't compile dspam myself (debian) and my configuration is pretty straight forward, each user runs dspam and no client/server model is used. johannes signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

I am sorry about that. the cron job would have to iterate through all these files and call dspam depending on the contents of the file. And then it all has to be atomic. It's not really all that complex, but I was too lazy to implement it. johannes I understand. I have a few questions about your code. You do a case -3: on enh_error, yet there is NO such entry anywhere in the code. Additionally, you check for 0 for a good condition, yet there is no possibility of a changed enh_error value for 0 in call_dspam nor in the function that calls it. I am getting errors when I try to move things into the spam folder (default case error). DSPAM is installed, it is getting run and if I run it by hand with --user someone (without any domain junk) it runs fine. So, where does the 0 case get it's value where it doesn't show up in call_dspam? Am I reading the code incorrectly?

Hello, On Tue, 2007-05-08 at 11:41 +0200, Johannes Berg wrote: Hi, transaction. Alternatively, enh_error can be set != 0 if call_dspam returns an error which can happen when dspam returns an error code or isn't present. Yes, I found this. Which is where my patch came from. Not sure I understand your question now. Yes, it works only if I have --user USER as mentioned, without any domain stuff. So I don't have --user given No, you don't. (joe, not [EMAIL PROTECTED]). Anyway, I think I have fixed the program with two lines of code being changed (depending on the preferred coding style, this may be 1-3 lines...). I will send you the patch later today if I get some spam to test it out on. Basically it amounts to having the first two arguments after the program name to execl to be --user and the equivalent to getenv(USER). (Mine is two lines because I have done char *user=getenv(USER) at the beginning of call_dspam since most people seem to prefer that style instead of having getenv directly in the call to execl.

I am running dspam 3.8.0 which is the first version I have actually installed and used. The point is that you have to (a) when no files exist: move into spam: create a file sig with contents spam move out of spam: create a file sig with contents notspam You said that you in your previous email. Heh, I was too lazy to dig it up. (B and C are indeed done.) A doesn't seem to happen. Well, no, B and C aren't really done either since we never touch any signature-database on disk. Ok, well, I am meaning that if a message is available and its signature is your code handles everything properly right now (not for a cron job but for immediate action). Your code complains about no signatures. I will dig into the code a little later and help out with this if you would like. For now, the code should be patched to allow things in the spam folder to be moved out even if their is no signature or the signature has expired (and no longer points to any cache in dspam). Maybe your code already does this. I haven't had a chance to test it yet. I think it *should* complain about signatures. If you try training such an old message that dspam no longer knows about it, it'll throw an error, and if you have a message without signature then you can't retrain it. I just delete the message in that case, though I suppose if you use a trash folder you'll have to use that configuration.. johannes I believe we should fix it, if dspam would allow, to learn it as spam using --corpus or what not if that is still available and the appropriate option.

[Dovecot] .imap files
Dovecot version: 1.0.rc7 OS: Red Hat Fedora Core 6 CPU: x86 Filesystem: Linux I have recently upgraded from Fedora Core 4 to Fedora Core 6 (the FC6 was a clean install, not an upgrade). Prior to the upgrade, I used Dovecot to handle IMAP email that talked to Outlook clients. After the FC6 install and copying the .imap* files to the newly recreated user accounts, Outlook is not seeing the old email. Dovecot is creating new dovecot.* files to hold new email, not looking in the existing .imap.* files. Is there a way to either convert the .imap* files into the new dovecot.* files or any way to recover the email that anyone knows about? Thanks! Scott

Adrian Barker wrote: That's right: we cannot change the way that we deliver email, at least in the short to medium term, so need to maintain compatibility with the UW IMAP server. If we do decide to write a plugin that copies new email from the mail spool to the IMAP inbox, is there any documentation on how to write plugins ? I could not find any on the wiki. Adrian Barker, University College London. Another thought occurred to me. It needn't be a plugin as such, as it just needs to run before the imap process proper - see http://wiki.dovecot.org/PostLoginScripting. It could be something as simple as a shell script doing (though with rather more safeguards):- exim_lock /var/spool/$USER \ cat /var/spool/$USER ~/mbox rm /var/spool/$USER exec /path/to/dovecot/libexec/imap though you could probably write a utility using c-client to do it properly.

Regardless, my first guess is that your MySQL instance has not finished starting and is not accepting connections before Dovecot is initiated, so the auth worker has no socket to connect to; what's the timing and order of your /etc/rc* tree look like? If you have the services starting in parallel, then you might have to move Dovecot further down the startup tree, or add a little shell voodoo to check for the MySQL socket before starting it... -te -- Troy Engel | Systems Engineer Fluid, Inc | http://www.fluid.com

Is there a way to either convert the .imap* files into the new dovecot.* files or any way to recover the email that anyone knows about? FC4 used the older 0.99 dovecot installs (0.99.14 it looks like), you will need to read the Wiki and docs, and migrate your Dovecot config to the newer style -- once you do that, I bet everything will start working as intended. http://wiki.dovecot.org/UpgradingDovecot Before even starting, the first thing I'd do is upgrade to the actual 1.0.0 release, there were... 25(?) further release candidates beyond rc7.

Re: [Dovecot] Dovecot not handling r/o mailboxes completely, and problem with ACL as a workaround
The shared mailbox and all its files and subdirectories are owned by the
'dovecot' user and by the 'domain users' group that all users belong to.
The ACL restrictions cause a reduction (i.e. more fine-grained
constraint) in privileges. In other words, at the system-file level,
everyone can read the directory/files, but at the ACL level, only
members of some particular list of groups should be able to read them.
And as I said, the user=username constraint seems to work fine, but
group=groupname does not. It looks like the group=groupname
constraint just never matches anyone. So I might have group=admins and
joeblow is in group admins, but Dovecot thinks that he isn't.

I would just add to this that simply putting a dovecot-acl file in a

for us (without the complicated setup described below). Our problem is
that group-based restrictions don't work at all (i.e. group=groupname
permissions, as described in the manual).
I'm also trying to figure out what the force-group ACL identifier is
supposed to mean.

It looks like I owe Joseba Torre an apology. I thought he was complaining about me, but it looks like he was complaining about an error in the docs which he or someone else has since fixed. The POP3 protocol (according to RFC 1939) supports only two forms of authentication: APOP and the USER/PASS mechanism (like you have below). # telnet localhost 110 user username pass password So, I guess the next question becomes how come I can use [that] properly from any host, but a real client reports connection refused. (kmail is the main one I've been using) That's an excellent question. How do you have kmail configured? Can you use a packetsniffer to snoop on its conversation with the server? ~Kyle I have learned a little more since then, and it is probably a postfix error. I posted a full description to the postfix list, but I'll give a summary here, just in case. I'm not sure what has changed, but for whatever reason I can now send/receive/and relay through kmail but I can only receive, and send to a known account through outlook express. the logs seem to indicate that OE isn't even trying to authenticate.
