Upgrading Dovecot v0.99.x to v1.0 + + 1. Configuration file + + 2. PAM + + 3. SQL Configuration + + 4. Subscriptions + + 5. Keywords + + 6. POP3 UIDLs + + 7. mbox errors + + 8. Port Changes + + 9. Log Changes for POP before SMTP + +The upgrade from Dovecot v0.99.x to v1.0 isn't just a drop-in upgrade, but also +requires the administrator to adjust the configuration in several places, as +detailed in the chapters below. + +Configuration file +------------------ + +The configuration file has had a lot of changes, so it's better to just modify +the included 'dovecot-example.conf' file manually. The easiest way to remember +what you had changed in the old file is with grep: + +---%<------------------------------------------------------------------------- +egrep -v '^ *(#|$)'|less +---%<------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +PAM +--- + +Dovecot v0.99.x defaulted to using "imap" or "pop3" PAM service identifiers, +ie.'/etc/pam.d/imap' or '/etc/pam.d/pop3' files. With v1.0, the default is to +use "dovecot" service identifier, i.e.'/etc/pam.d/dovecot'. Either change the +passdb pam args to use the "*" parameter or set up the '/etc/pam.d/' files +properly. + +SQL Configuration +----------------- + +The SQL configuration has changed. 'password_query' in the new dovecot-sql.conf +must return a field named 'password'. + +Subscriptions +------------- + +*Maildir only*: The filename that stores user subscriptions has changed from +'.subscriptions' to 'subscriptions'. (It is still called '.subscriptions' for +mbox.). Since v1.0.rc2 the renaming is done automatically. + +Keywords +-------- + +*Maildir-only*: The former '.customflags' file has been renamed to +*dovecot-keywords*, which is incompatible with v0.99.x's format. Since v1.0.rc2 +Dovecot can convert the file automatically. (This conversion does not happen +when going directly from v0.99 to v1.1, though. The files must be renamed +manually.) + +POP3 UIDLs +---------- + +UIDLs are used by POP3 clients to keep track of what messages they've +downloaded, typically only if you've enabled "keep messages in server" option. +If the UIDL changes, the existing messages are re-downloaded as new messages, +which you should try to avoid. + +For compatibility with Dovecot v0.99.x, use: + +---%<------------------------------------------------------------------------- +pop3_uidl_format = %v.%u +---%<------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +However this doesn't work well for Outlook 2003 users (as it didn't with +v0.99.x either), which is the reason this isn't the default anymore. See +<POP3Server#uidl> [POP3Server.txt] for alternative (and better) UIDL formats. + +mbox errors +----------- + +The first time a user opens a mailbox after upgrading it may log some errors +such as: + +---%<------------------------------------------------------------------------- +mbox sync: UID inserted in the middle of mailbox /var/mail/**** (4409 > 4237) +---%<------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +The user may need to log out and log in again to see all of the messages in the +affected mailboxes. Note that this shouldn't happen unless the mbox already had +some errors. The new mbox parsing code just does better error checking. + +Port Changes +------------ + +The port settings are different. The new settings are: + +---%<------------------------------------------------------------------------- +# if you wish to just change IP address, change: +listen = 1.2.3.4 +ssl_listen = 1.2.3.4 + +# if you wish to change ports also, use instead: +protocol imap { + listen = *:143 + ssl_listen = *:993 +} +protocol pop3 { + listen = *:110 + ssl_listen = *:995 +} +---%<------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +Log Changes for POP before SMTP +------------------------------- + +If you used <POP-before-SMTP> [PopBSMTPAndDovecot.txt], the log strings are +different. This should work with new versions: + +---%<------------------------------------------------------------------------- + $s =~ s/^... .. ..:..:.. .* dovecot: (pop3|imap)-login: Login: .+ +rip=(\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+),.*$/$2/i; +---%<------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +(This file was created from the wiki on 2019-06-19 12:42) |
