No, is that something that would make a difference between 2.2.15 and 2.2.32? --Mark On Fri, 24 Nov 2017 21:37:47 -0800 Gary <lists(a)lazygranch.com> wrote: > Out of curiosity, do you do a !SSLv3 in the conf file? > > > Original Message >> From: mfoley(a)ohprs.org >> Sent: November 24, 2017 9:04 PM >> To: dovecot(a)dovecot.org >> Subject: Upgrade to 2.2.32 from 2.2.15 failed >> >> I have a problem.

set parameter per user
by A. Schulze 24 Nov '17

24 Nov '17

Hello, My dovecot server (2.2.33.2) work with "lmtp_save_to_detail_mailbox = no" Now I would like to enable the feature for /some/ users. Is that an option that could be set from an LDAP entry? I tried the following: modify my ldap schema to allow an optional attribute "lmtp-save-to-detail-mailbox" in /etc/dovecot/ldap.conf user_attrs = ... =lmtp_save_to_detail_mailbox=%{ldap:lmtp-save-to-detail-mailbox:no}, =... Now I set an ldapattribute "lmtp-save-to-detail-mailbox" with value "yes" for some users. Unfortunately messages to user+extension@domain are still delivered to INBOX/ while they should be delivered to INBOX/extension. I also tried to make the attribute accessible vi pass_attr and userdb_foo = ... because I use prefetch driver as userdb. I also disabled prefetching at all but no luck :-/ any Ideas? Andreas

Passing information from passdb to userdb
by Qmail 23 Nov '17

23 Nov '17

I'm trying to hack together a new authentication back-end and I wanted to know if it's possible to pass values from passdb to userdb in the auth_request structure at authentication time. I modified struct auth_request in auth-request.h to contain a new variable and it gets set properly in my passdb, however the value is not there when checking for it userdb. I'm very novice when it comes to Dovecot programming so any help is appreciated. Thanks!

[Dovecot] Configure replication in backup mode
by japerez 22 Nov '17

22 Nov '17

Dovecot 2.2.27 (c0f36b0) I'm trying to configure dovecot to backup all my email to a secondary server using "dsync". I got it working in "sync" mode or two-way synchonization, that means whatever happens in one server gets replicated in the other. However, documentation also says that a one way synchronization is posible, yet, after spending a good amount of hours searching, I failed to find what do I have to modify in my "30-dsync.conf" to do so. My 30-dsync.conf reads as follows: #This sets globally the port needed to connect #to the doveadm service #doveadm_port = 12345 # Set the password globally to use for connecting to # and requiring for the doveadm service doveadm_password = +++++++++++++ # Set the directory for validating certificates # provided when running with SSL enabled # Should be the standard OpenSSL certificate directory by default ssl_client_ca_dir = /etc/ssl/certs # Configure the doveadm service to listen service doveadm { inet_listener { # port to listen on port = 12345 # enable SSL # ssl = yes } } # Configure the aggregator service for notifications service aggregator { fifo_listener replication-notify-fifo { # Your mail user that's managing files generally is used here user = +++++ mode = 0755 } unix_listener replication-notify { user = +++++ mode = 0755 } } # Configure the replicator service service replicator { user = root process_min_avail = 1 unix_listener replicator-doveadm { user = root mode = 0755 } } replication_dsync_parameters = -d -N -l 30 -U -x nobody # Configure target hosts for replication # tcps can be tcp if you don't want to connect with SSL # :port can be omitted if it's the default set globally for doveadm plugin { mail_replica = tcp:*.*.*.*:12345 } Thanks.

dovecot initscript

Hi, about https://wiki.dovecot.org/DovecotInit, i wondered about stop) if test $running = yes; then echo "Stopping Dovecot" kill `cat $pidfile` echo "." else echo "Dovecot is already stopped." fi ;; Is "doveadm stop" technically the same, or better/worse/safer? Does "doveadm stop" wait until all child processes are finished, or would "sleep 1" in the restart-function still be necessary in this case? Is "kill -HUP `cat $pidfile`" technically the same as "doveadm reload"? If it'a all fine to use doveadm in an initscript, i there a reason to not add "doveadm start" to doveadm functionality? Surely this is not that important, but maybe a bit more consistent. Thanks, Johannes

Log rotation and combining...
by SH Development 22 Nov '17

I have recently noticed that my dovecot-deliver.log is huge and wanted to start rotating it. So a couple of questions: 1. Can the dovecot-deliver.log be combined with the maillog, that gets rotated weekly? If it can be done, is it advisable? Since the inception of this particular server, the log file has been located in the /home/vmail directory. Is there a reason it shouldn’t be located in the /var/log directory with the maillog? 2. Separate from above, if I create a new logrotate script example as follows: # dovecot SIGUSR1: Re-opens the log files. /home/vmail/dovecot-deliver.log { missingok notifempty delaycompress sharedscripts postrotate /bin/kill -USR1 `cat /var/run/dovecot/master.pid 2>/dev/null` 2> /dev/null || true endscript } I get the following error only when cron tries to run it: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate: error: stat of /home/vmail/dovecot-deliver.log failed: Permission denied Owner on the log are vmail:vmail. If I manually force logrotate on this particular log, it works fine. Ethon
