Upgrade Dovecot from 1.1 to 1.2 on RHEL/CentOS 5.x, Debian 5.
This tutorial is for only RHEL/CentOS 5.x, Debian 5.
Install Dovecot 1.2
on RHEL/CentOS 5
Dovecot 1.2 is available in another iRedMail yum repository, you should append below lines in /etc/yum.repos.d/iRedMail.repo
to enable it:
[iRedMail-Dovecot-12]
name=iRedMail-Dovecot-12
baseurl=https://dl.iredmail.org/yum/rpms/dovecot/rhel5/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
priority=1
Note: Because iRedMail-0.6.1 and earlier versions doesn't support dovecot-1.2, so we can't add this package in default yum repository, otherwise new installation of iRedMail (<=0.6.1) will be failed.
Remove dovecot-1.1. Be aware of below steps, we will update dovecot config based on config file of dovecot-1.1
.
# cp /etc/dovecot.conf /etc/dovecot-1.1.conf
# rpm -e dovecot dovecot-sieve
warning: /etc/logrotate.d/dovecot saved as /etc/logrotate.d/dovecot.rpmsave
warning: /etc/dovecot.conf saved as /etc/dovecot.conf.rpmsave
Install dovecot-1.2.
# yum install dovecot dovecot-sieve dovecot-managesieve
# cp /etc/dovecot.conf /etc/dovecot-1.2.conf
# cp /etc/dovecot-1.1.conf /etc/dovecot.conf
Package dovecot-managesieve
provides managesieve
service, so we don't need pysieved
anymore. Disable it:
# chkconfig --level 345 pysieved off
# /etc/init.d/pysieved stop
on Debian 5
Append below line to /etc/apt/sources.list
:
deb http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports lenny-backports main
Install Dovecot 1.2:
$ sudo apt-get -t lenny-backports update
$ sudo apt-get -t lenny-backports upgrade dovecot-imapd dovecot-pop3d
Update Dovecot configure
We need to update Dovecot config file dovecot.conf
, it's /etc/dovecot.conf
on RHEL/CentOS, /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
on Debian 5.
-
Remove setting
umask =
. It wasn't really used anywhere anymore. -
Remove
zlib
from allmail_plugins =
settings. This plugin is buggy in 1.x and will be fixed only in 2.x. -
Change sieve plugin name
cmusieve
tosieve
inprotocol lda {}
section. -
Change
ssl_disable=no
tossl=yes
. -
[For MySQL backend]
Add two more columns invmail.mailbox
if not present:
$ mysql -uroot -p
mysql> USE vmail;
mysql> ALTER TABLE mailbox ADD COLUMN enablesieve TINYINT(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT '1';
mysql> ALTER TABLE mailbox ADD COLUMN enablesievesecured TINYINT(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT '1';
[For RHEL/CentOS]
Appendmanagesieve
service related config indovecot.conf
:
# ManageSieve service. http://wiki.dovecot.org/ManageSieve
protocol managesieve {
listen = 127.0.0.1:2000
}
# Plugin: sieve. ttp://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve
plugin {
#sieve_global_path =
#sieve_global_dir =
#sieve_before = /var/vmail/sieve/dovecot.sieve
#sieve_after =
sieve = /var/vmail/sieve/%Ld/%Ln/dovecot.sieve
sieve_dir = /var/vmail/sieve/%Ld/%Ln/
}
Append managesieve
in protocols =
section in dovecot.conf
, like this:
protocols = pop3 pop3s imap imaps managesieve
[For Debian 5 (lenny)]
Indovecot.conf
, movesieve =
andsieve_storage =
from sectionprotocol managesieve {}
to sectionplugin {}
, and renamesieve_storage
tosieve_dir
:
plugin {
sieve = /var/vmail/sieve/%Ld/%Ln/dovecot.sieve
sieve_dir = /var/vmail/sieve/%Ld/%Ln/
# ... SKIP OTHER SETTINGS HERE ...
}
Re-enable RoundCube sieve rules
This is needed so your users will not loose all their RoundCube sieve rules. You need to run the following commands to mass rename the RoundCube rules and repair their links:
find /var/vmail/sieve/ -type l -name 'dovecot.sieve' -exec rm -f '{}' \;
find /var/vmail/sieve/ -type f -name 'roundcube' -exec rename 'roundcube' 'roundcube.sieve' '{}' \;
find /var/vmail/sieve/ -type f -name 'roundcube.sieve' -execdir ln -s '{}' dovecot.sieve \;
