I'm trying to figure out how to use the vacation filter. I have enabled it and yet it doesn't send a reply message out. Is there anything else I'm required to configure? Or, is there another way of enabling it?

Thanks,
Neil

Re: Vacation filter (Round Cube)

If someone send you an email, Dovecot will send out an auto-reply message automatically. You can try to send an email to your account from Gmail/Hotmail/Yahoo!/etc.

Re: Vacation filter (Round Cube)

That is what I thought, however, it appears as though no auto reply is sent to users who email you. I've tested this myself and it doesn't appear to work or me either.

When looking at the managesieve entry in dovecot.log, it shows that it is disconnecting:
Jul 10 08:50:56 managesieve(email@address.com): Info: Disconnected: Logged out bytes=44/370

Although that is not the case, or shouldn't be I believe.

Re: Vacation filter (Round Cube)

Default vacation filter works fine for me, no addition setting/configure is required.
If it doesn't work for you, please turn on debug mode in Dovecot and send one more testing email, try to figure it out why it doesn't work as expected in Dovecot log file (/var/log/dovecot.log and /var/log/sieve.log).

It appears that the permissions were wrong. We gave 700  vmail:vmail to directories.

What would recommend? 704? Since it appears that it only requires read perms?

Re: Vacation filter (Round Cube)

I changed the permissions and still no auto reply.
I even created a new account so it'd be assigned the correct permissions and it didn't send one out either

Looks like just this file has incorrect file permission? "missing +r perm", not readable by vmail user?

Folder /var/vmail/ should be set to '0700', owned by vmail:vmail. All sub-folders should has the same permission and ownership.

Please create a new account, turn on debug mode in Dovecot, then send a testing email, check all related log in Dovecot log files. Paste here if you're not sure what the problem is.

Here's log after test email. I fixed the permission error yesterday, however, mail still ins't being autoreplied.

Could you please show us full content of this file (/var/vmail/vmail1/example.com/t/e/s/testing-2013.07.11.12.09.27//sieve/dovecot.sieve)? Just want to see whether we have correct vacation setting in it.

If you have correct vacation setting, Dovecot will send an auto-reply email to sender, the log in /var/log/sieve.log looks like this:

Jul 12 17:52:53 lda(recipient@domain.com): Info: sieve: msgid=<20130713005251.2A4BF101766@u12.iredmail.org>: sent vacation response to <sender@another.com>

And Dovecot will create file /var/vmail/vmail1/example.com/t/e/s/testing-2013.07.11.12.09.27/.dovecot.lda-dupes to track how many times it sent vacation message to individual sender (controlled by ":days" parameter in vacation sieve script).

Re: Vacation filter (Round Cube)

Your sieve rule looks just fine, no idea yet. Sorry.
Did you modify any Dovecot config files?

12

Re: Vacation filter (Round Cube)

No dovecot config files have been touched at all. They are vanilla from the install.

No log after you sent testing email? That's not expected.

14

Re: Vacation filter (Round Cube)

I do not see the log, ".dovecot.lda-dupes".

Other than the log I poster a few posts up, the Sieve.log has nothing in it related to the testing email.

15

Re: Vacation filter (Round Cube)

No idea at all, it works for me out of box with default iRedMail setting.

16 (edited by ItZz_Neil 2013-07-15 21:02:22)

Re: Vacation filter (Round Cube)

Hmm, that is unfortunate. Can you think of any other possibilities? Possibly a work around or something else that can be implemented to take the default/built-ins place?

Also, I don't think this would make a difference, but we have several virtual interfaces tied into the system.

Thanks,
Neil

17

Re: Vacation filter (Round Cube)

Also, what version of dovecot are you using?

We're on 2.0.18 and have an update pending for the next one.

18

Re: Vacation filter (Round Cube)

Vacation should work out of box with default iRedMail settings. But as you mentioned:

1) you didn't modify any config files
2) your vacation sieve filter is correct
3) No error/warning in Dovecot log file

i really have no idea at all. Could you please paste output of command "dovecot -n" here to help troubleshoot?

Re: Vacation filter (Round Cube)

I believe the issue might be in the line:
managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacati                                                                                                                on subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy includ                                                                                                                e variables body enotify environment mailbox date ihave

It seems to have line breaks and odd spacing in it.

It's not in the dovecot.conf file, where might I edit this?

It's just fine, don't care about this.

You have correct settings in Dovecot (sieve =, sieve_dir smile, vacation extension is supported in sieve, i have no idea yet.
Did you send testing email with Outlook/Thunderbird/Roundcube webmail or just a system command ("mail", for example)?

22

Re: Vacation filter (Round Cube)

I've applied the filter through Roundcube and sent emails to that account via Gmail, Thunderbird, and Roundcube.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Neil

Re: Vacation filter (Round Cube)

Vacation should be triggered this way. I have no idea at all, sorry.

Re: Vacation filter (Round Cube)

Okay, so the issue is fixed now.

Thank you for pointing out the error in the mysql.log:
postfix/proxymap[11778]: warning: table "mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql/transport_maps_domain.cf": empty lookup result for: "<domain>" -- ignored

That led us to find the issue. It had to do with our migration of the mysql database and it using the transport method: "virtual", rather than dovecot.

Once we made the change to the tables the vacation filter began to work.

Thanks,
Neil
