[SRU] dovecot-postfix references cmusieve as a mail plugin

[rolfy]

Binary package hint: dovecot-postfix

From googling, cmusieve should be sieve.

Once i change this line in the generated /etc/dovecot/conf.d/01-dovecot-postfix.conf file, mail will start getting sent.
diff:
26c26,27
< mail_plugins = cmusieve
---
> # mail_plugins = cmusieve
> mail_plugins = sieve

If i leave it as cmusieve, an error appears in /var/log/mail.log

As a hope to answer most of the questions you might have:
1> lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Release: 10.04

2>apt-cache policy dovecot-postfix
dovecot-postfix:
  Installed: 1:1.2.9-1ubuntu6
  Candidate: 1:1.2.9-1ubuntu6
  Version table:
 *** 1:1.2.9-1ubuntu6 0
        500 http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

3/4> explained by the initial diff - i expected to get a working dovecot as described, but due to the 'cmusieve' setting in plugins errors appear in mail.log rather than mail getting successfully sent.

I guess other pertinent information is that this happened on a new lucid install, and it's pretty much the first thing i did (aptitude install dovecot-postfix)

As an aside, the package theoretically offers SASL out of the box, but i never get the AUTH lines when telnetting to localhost port 25, so i'm guessing that's an issue too, but i'll try to figure out why and give something more definite in a different bug report :|

I'm attaching the patch for this issue. As for SMTP-AUTH, dovecot-postfix doesn't allow authentication over unencrypted protocol. So, telneting to port 25 won't give you anything, but you can try this:

openssl s_client -connect localhost:25 -starttls smtp

and then run ehlo hostname.

it took me hours to figure that out googling (the smtp-auth) but thanks v. much for the info, it confirms what i'd decided.

This had an easy work around, was just annoying, but thanks for the quick response!

Got this too. Easy to fix but endless boring to find :-(

Accepted dovecot into lucid-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

Quite a number of people said this bug affected them. Would one of you please test the proposed fix.

i submitted a diff of exactly the change that I made.

While i can look and say 'yes, this looks like its the same', so can anyone else, so I'm not sure the value in me validating that you've changed what i changed.

I had a look at your diff, and it is indeed the same as my diff (mine obviously didn't have the header/footer changes), and given i've tested my change, i guess your change works, by virtue of the fact that it's the same as mine, which i've tested.

The main point is to test the actual .deb from -proposed, to ensure
that the changes were applied correctly, and that the package wasn't
misbuilt due to changes in underlying toolchain, libraries, or
accidents.

[rolfy (rolfy-rolfy)]

i realise that was the point.... my point being given i've manually fixed the problem, it's probably non trivial for me to fix, as i'm not really in a position to test via deb.

[Данило Шеган (danilo)]

I've tested the package from -proposed on my mail server and it fixed this problem for me. I haven't tried using sieve support yet, but this error is gone from the log files.
