Public bug reported:
Description: Ubuntu Focal Fossa (development branch)
Release: 20.04
Package: dovecot (2.3.7.2-1ubuntu3)
Problem:
When using "snarf", the dovecot version delivered with 20.04 (Focal
Fossa) does not work correctly. Snarfing is used to get new mail from
/var/mail/%u to ~/mail/mbox (INBOX).
Mail content from the incoming mail directory does not get snarfed into
the INBOX. Thus, no new incoming mail is ever detected.
This works fine with 18.04 which employs dovecot 2.2.32.2, but there
seems to be no indication that something changed upstream, so I am at a
loss at what causes this. When I enable debug output, I can even see
that the snarf plugin is active.
When I install older dovecot-core, dovecot-popd3d and dovecot-imapd from
18.04 into 20.04, everything works as usual.
The relevant portion of my configuration is:
mail_location = mbox:~/mail/:INBOX=~/mail/mbox:INDEX=MEMORY
mail_plugins = snarf notify zlib
namespace snarf {
prefix = ~~snarf/
separator = /
location = mbox:/run/dovecot/empty:INBOX=/var/mail/%u:INDEX=MEMORY
list = no
hidden = yes
}
plugin {
snarf = ~~snarf/INBOX
}
