Is there any way to setup the vacation message via admin pro panel?

The admin should be able to do this feature...

You should think again about this!!! The domain should know who is using or not vacation, should be able to insert or update vacation message and should see the filters the users are using. This is essential for support!!!

Re: Vacation in admin Pro panel

as this was a show-stopper for me also, i implemented this myself. i can provide the patch, but be aware i do not call sieve directly inside iredadmin. i go via a php-script from roundcube vacation (i hacked/fixed), as i'm familiar with php and i was fast with this... btw: this roundcube plugin is also much easier for endusers to understand than the sieve plugin that is delivered with iredadmin. see my other post to the same:

Re: Vacation in admin Pro panel

I think this solution can be made with community help like brainstorm.

So ppl can just send they own minds how technically this can be made....

Is it OK for you ZhangHuangbin?

Re: Vacation in admin Pro panel

OK, I considered only users will set vacation message themselves, but you guys report system admin will set it for them.

Here's why i still have no plan to achieve it:

*) Vacation message is achieved via a sieve rule with sieve command "vacation". Reference: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Pigeonhole/Sie … auto-reply

*) The ideal way to manage sieve scripts is through managesieve service, not edit sieve files on file system directly. But we don't know users' passwords, so we have to implement "Master User" in Dovecot first. Reference: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/MasterUsers

Since Master Users can access user mailbox without knowing their password, you can use it (and imapsync) for migrating mailboxes on old server to new server if you don't want to copy them directly with scp or rsync.

*) I guess it's not illegal to achieve features like "Master Users" in some country, because system admin can access others' mailbox directly. German, UK? Anyone can help update this?

*) iRedAdmin is written in Python programming language, and we have several managesieve modules available. Reference: http://pypi.python.org/pypi?%3Aaction=s … mit=search

I didn't try any of them before, but i guess it should work for us.

*) If we want to show user vacation status (have and enable sieve command "vacation" in sieve rules) in user list page (not user profile page) of iRedAdmin-Pro (URL: /iredadmin/users/[DOMAIN.LTD]), we must check for all users listed in one page (50 users by default). It will perform sieve check 50 times when loading user list page. I guess it will slow down page load speed, but a RESTful API return sieve check should be fine.

*) If we want to show user vacation status in user profile page, it requires check once. it should be fine.

Re: Vacation in admin Pro panel

hi all

nice to see here some discussion going on about this topic. you're right there are some issues with implementation.
1. i would keep it very simple. i just add another tab to the user-details page with only this options (activate vacation, subject, body, activate forward, forward to comma separated list). this shouldn't be a problem to read and write via sieve.
2. sieve master: i dont see any problem with this so far. i mean if admin can see the receive/send logs of all users, the vacation management is an even lower issue. also the possiblity to bcc a user is possibly more dangerous than an sieve master behind the scenes.
3. i see your argument about the user-list. maybe to see this is not so important or the status (on/off) can be read directly from the file without using sieve...

just my thoughts... and looking forward
cheers.ivo

Add a tab in user profile page is good for setting detailed vacation message, but you cannot see whether a user is on vacation (has vacation message enabled) or not in user list page. Is this what you guys want?

Log of Sent/Received mail just contains basic info, send from/to whom, subject, date. No mail body at all.
But with Dovecot Master User, system admin (who know Master User and password) can access others' mailbox directly through Webmail.

Personally, i don't worry about this. But just want to make sure whether it's illegal? Can someone in German, UK, USA help check it?

I don't want to make iRedAdmin access files on file system directly, sorry. It may cause/bring potential security issue.
Since we have standard managesieve service, why not just use it? You just need to know sieve service IP address and port, you can manage sieve scripts on localhost or remote server.

lets say, this would at least give the domain-admin the possibility to set and manage the vacations for the users. now this is impossible with official release. i hacked exactly this into it. we need this especially as not much users use the webmailer at all, and even less will understand how vacation works. so its always the domain-admins that manage the vactions for their users...

its you who raised the concern about using sieve for 50 accounts to generate the overview. i would of course use sieve for this... but if you dont want to use sieve this might be the only alternative... (...i am aware of)

Re: Vacation in admin Pro panel

OK, let's try to add new tab "Vacation" in user profile page, through standard managesieve protocol.
Next release of iRedAdmin-Pro is a bug-fix release, vacation management will not be available in next release. Sorry.

Re: Vacation in admin Pro panel

Hi guys,

New idea to achieve this:

*) We need Dovecot Master User, and store its username/password in iRedAdmin-Pro config file. e.g. libs/settings.py, so that iRedAdmin-Pro can login to manage users' sieve rules.

*) Show tab "Vacation" in iRedAdmin-Pro user profile page to let domain admin manage vacation settings.
*) Login as Dovecot Master User while you trying to update vacation setting
*) Create a new sieve rule, e.g. vacation-iredadmin-pro.sieve. A sample (and seems perfect) one:

require ["variables", "vacation", "include"];

# Get mail subject
if header :matches "Subject" "*" {
       set "old_subject" "${1}";
}

# rule:[on_vacation]
if true
{
    vacation :days 1 :subject "Vacation Auto Reply: ${old_subject}" "I am on vacation";
}

# Include previous active sieve file
include :personal "managesieve";

*) Active this new sieve file (vacation-iredadmin-pro.sieve), so that Dovecot will use it instead of old one (user defined one).

As commented in sieve file above, it will get subject of received email, and allow you to use it in auto-reply message. It will use user defined sieve rules with "include" sieve command, so that we won't mess up their mailboxes. For example, user may define filter rule to move emails from mailing lists to special mail folders.

Tested and works fine for me.

Let me know your opinions and testing results.

== UPDATE ==

*) Still need to confirm whether "include" command works with Dovecot-1.2 (RHEL/CentOS/Scientific Linux 5). Anyway, we're close to the final success.

*) We need to parse user-defined sieve file to get current vacation status, parse the one we created to get existing vacation settings.

Re: Vacation in admin Pro panel

Hi guys,

You can now enable Dovecot Master User by following our wiki tutorial here:
http://www.iredmail.org/wiki/index.php? … aster.User

I have working (Python) code for vacation support in iRedAdmin-Pro, but new release is coming soon, i'd like to delay it. Sorry about this.

Hello

At present my dovecot.conf (version 1) has the following configuration under "auth default"

auth default {
    mechanisms = plain login
    user = vmail
    passdb ldap {
        args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf
    }
    userdb ldap {
        args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf
    }
    socket listen {
        master {
            path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master
            mode = 0666
            user = vmail
            group = vmail
        }
        client {
            path = /var/spool/postfix/dovecot-auth
            mode = 0666
            user = postfix
            group = postfix
        }
    }
}

I would like to know where with in my configuration I should append

auth default {

    # Add below lines
    passdb passwd-file {
        args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-master-user-password
        master = yes
    }

    [...omit others...]

and what you mean by [...omit others...]

Re: Vacation in admin Pro panel

Try this:

auth default {
    mechanisms = plain login
    user = vmail
    passdb ldap {
        args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf
    }
    userdb ldap {
        args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf
    }
    passdb passwd-file {
        args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-master-user-password
        master = yes
    }

    socket listen {
        master {
            path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master
            mode = 0666
            user = vmail
            group = vmail
        }
        client {
            path = /var/spool/postfix/dovecot-auth
            mode = 0666
            user = postfix
            group = postfix
        }
    }
}

And "[...omit others...]" just means i'm lazy to copy all configs in this file here.

Oh, sorry, it's my mistake. Addition config is required if you have ACL enabled.

Re: Vacation in admin Pro panel

Hi kiil,

Another solution is, upgrading Dovecot-1.2 to 2.0 first, then you can easily achieve this by apply this patch:
https://bitbucket.org/zhb/iredmail/comm … 07afc836f2

Here's a solution to upgrade Dovecot from 1.2 to 2.0:
http://www.iredmail.org/forum/topic4493 … tos-5.html

Your solution is for REHL/CentOS and I am using Debian 6.

I found a upgrade process here: http://sysadmin.carlusgg.com/?p=343

Here are the steps needed:

Although Dovecot 1.2.15 is the latest Dovecot version in Debian Squeeze stable repository, you can upgrade it safely to 2.1 through backports.

Following the next steps you’ll be able to upgrade Dovecot to 2.1 in 2 minutes:

-Add the backports repository in /etc/apt/sources.list:

1 $ echo "deb http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports squeeze-backports main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list 
2 $ apt-get update

-Upgrade Dovecot through "apt-get -t squeeze-backports install" (all the packages depending on it will be also upgraded) keeping the existing dovecot.conf file (I recommend making a backup of dovecot.conf)

1$ apt-get -t squeeze-backports install dovecot-common 

You’ll see some warnings because of the old 1.2 dovecot.conf

-Convert dovecot.conf file to dovecot 2.1 format:

1 $ doveconf -n -c /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf > /etc/dovecot/dovecot-new.conf
2 $ mv /etc/dovecot/dovecot-new.conf /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf

-Restart dovecot

1$ /etc/init.d/dovecot restart

Finally, check if everything is ok in dovecot.log and dovecot-info.log

It seems to be pretty straight forward and I am willing to try. My question is will your patch still work and I assume that I will have to also follow the instructions in your Dovecot Master Users tutorial for Version 2?

*) First of all, we have no patch for Vacation support in iRedAdmin-Pro.
*) If you want to enable Dovecot Master User, then you should follow the tutorial.
