Hi,
I've changed my running qmail/vpopmail/procmail/courier-imap/sqwebmail
installation to qmail/vpopmail/siege/dovecot/horde imp.
So far, I've got everything running. Authentification with vpopmail as
passdb is working, Mail delivery with siege into different Mail folders
is working as well.
One of the reasons why I switched to dovecot was the expire plugin and
right now I'm trying to set it up but I don't get it to run.
- I created a MySQL User as advised
- I created a database and a table and granted SELECT, INSERT, DELETE,
UPDATE privileges for that table to user dovecot
# mysql -udovecot -p dovecot
Enter password:
mysql> desc expires;
+--------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+--------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| username | varchar(75) | NO | PRI | NULL | |
| mailbox | varchar(255) | NO | PRI | NULL | |
| expire_stamp | int(11) | NO | | NULL | |
+--------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> select * from expires;
Empty set (0.00 sec)
- I added the following lines to my dovecot.conf:
dict {
expire = mysql:/usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext
}
plugin {
expire = Test
expire_dict = proxy::expire
}
- I created the dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext
# cat /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext
connect = host=localhost dbname=dovecot user=dovecot password=XXXX
map {
pattern = shared/expire/$user/$mailbox
table = expires
value_field = expire_stamp
fields {
username = $user
mailbox = $mailbox
}
}
#
- When restarting dovecot I had a dict error because the socket
was owned by root. I changed that so the socket is owned by the
user vpopmail.
- Then I created a folder "Test" via IMAP for one of my accounts
- Then I copied via Horde IMP (so via IMAP) a message to that new
folder
- I requeried dovecot.expires in my database and it is still empty
- I enabled logging for my MySQL DB and with that I found out, that
no connect with the "dovecot" user is made at all so of course
the table is empty.
- I created a siege rule to move a mail directly to that Test folder
when a specific Subject is used. lda moves the mail on arrival but
still no MySQL connection is made.
I've read that doveadm -A must work to get the expire plugin workinj,
but it does not:
# doveadm search -A mailbox INBOX subject test
doveadm(olivleh1): Error: User listing returned failure
doveadm: Error: Failed to iterate through some users
#
The expire plugin is loaded on startup:
Jan 04 11:35:50 imap: Debug: Loading modules from directory:
/usr/local/lib/dovecot
Jan 04 11:35:50 imap: Debug: Module loaded:
/usr/local/lib/dovecot/lib20_expire_plugin.so
When using doveadm I'm getting a strange error:
# doveadm -v expire -A mailbox INBOX subject test
doveadm(olivleh1): Fatal: Unknown command 'expire', but plugin expire
exists. Try to set mail_plugins=expire
Exit 89
#
I've no idea how to get it to work. I guess I need your help guys to
get it working ;)
