| rev | line source |
|---|---|
| 7180 | 1 - quota causing dovecot.index.cache files to be created with pop3 |
| 2 - save cancelled -> cache still tried to be updated | |
| 3 - configure --docdir doesn't work now | |
| 7072 | 4 - pipelining: commands that require output should do a delayed sync until |
| 5 there are no transactions, instead of just immediately returning OK | |
| 6 - SORT/SEARCH: Replace invalid input with #fffd. Make sure squat doesn't | |
| 7 index it. | |
| 6987 | 8 - stat() failed with index cache file /home/tss/dbox/INBOX/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index.cache: No such file or directory |
| 7072 | 9 - squat: handle expunges, nfs support |
| 6987 | 10 - fts lucene broken |
| 11 | |
| 12 - fix listescape plugin | |
| 13 - cache: compress when we can drop temporary fields. | |
| 14 - POP3 UIDL caching | |
| 15 - ACL: "foo/bar" in public namespace -> LIST "" % doesn't show "foo" | |
| 16 - new %modifier for reverse DNS lookups with a cache | |
| 17 - auth_gssapi_hostname = %Xl | |
| 18 - proxying would also want DNS lookups, but not reverse.. | |
| 7072 | 19 - ldap domain lookups which set the base for user lookup |
| 5621 | 20 |
| 6105 | 21 - maildir+pop3/deliver fast updates: |
| 22 - with locking enabled, pop3 could just keep the one and same sync lock and | |
| 23 do the whole thing using sync transaction | |
| 24 - don't update dovecot-uidlist if dovecot.index.cache doesn't exist / | |
| 25 there's nothing to cache | |
| 26 - if all messages are expunged and there are no unknown extensions in index, | |
| 27 unlink dovecot.index and rotate log and add some initial useful info to | |
| 28 the log (uidvalidity, nextuid) | |
| 5621 | 29 |
| 6105 | 30 - maildir |
| 6987 | 31 - don't allow more than 26 keywords |
| 6105 | 32 - physical separator could be configurable |
| 33 - setting flags to same as they already are causes unnecessary | |
| 34 rename()s with identical parameters | |
| 35 - deliver+maildir: if new mails are in new/ or cur/ they're not added to | |
| 36 dovecot-uidlist but newly saved mails are, so UIDs will be in wrong order | |
| 37 - maildir_copy_with_hardlinks: We're currently first hardlinking to tmp/ and | |
| 38 then rename()ing. This wouldn't be necessary if uidlist syncing noticed | |
| 39 that someone else already had added them to uidlist, and the existing UIDs | |
| 40 could be assigned to them in the index. | |
| 6754 | 41 - copying should copy already-cached data |
| 6105 | 42 - maildir_copy_preserve_filename=yes has a race condition causing "Append with |
| 43 UID n, but next_uid = y" errors when quota plugin is loaded. Practically | |
| 44 won't happen except in stress testing. | |
| 5621 | 45 |
| 6105 | 46 - mbox |
| 47 - UID renumbering doesn't really work after all? | |
| 48 - still problems with CRLF mboxes.. | |
| 49 | |
| 50 - Mailbox list indexes | |
| 51 - Should probably check dovecot.index.log stamp/size too so that non-zero | |
| 52 recent counters get reset | |
| 53 - Why are updates so slow? | |
| 54 - Support for FS layout | |
| 55 | |
| 5557 | 56 - threading: (all done?) |
| 57 - duplicate: mark original as rebuild | |
| 58 - re-parent (also reparenting to root): mark as rebuild | |
| 59 - unref: if refcount drops to zero, set children's parent=0 (can happen | |
| 60 if there are only grandchildren and dummy children) | |
| 61 - mail-hash: stat() and reopen if needed | |
| 62 - subjects: group roots togethere already while gathering subjects. then | |
| 63 go through them and sort them to get their sent date. then start writing | |
| 64 the nodes out. sorting needs to these cases: | |
| 65 1) root is dummy -> just sort their children. if there are dummies | |
| 66 they're skipped and their children ascend | |
| 67 2) root is non-dummy -> there are no dummies at all in the thread. | |
| 68 the root has the oldest date in the thread. after the root if there | |
| 69 are re: or fwd: messages they're children to the root. if there are | |
| 70 more messages after that, a new dummy parent needs to be created, | |
| 71 and the rest of the messages need to be sorted before sending | |
| 72 | |
| 6987 | 73 - mail_log: log appends. support from and subject fields |
| 74 - proxy: If remote server disconnects on login: | |
| 75 login: tried to change state 2 -> 2 | |
| 6105 | 76 - logging consistency: |
| 77 http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2007-April/021532.html | |
| 78 - EXPUNGE command in read-only mailbox should give an error message if | |
| 79 there are messages marked as \Deleted? | |
| 80 - dovecot -o setting=something overriding | |
| 5557 | 81 - file_cache: we're growing the mmap in page size blocks, which is horribly |
| 82 slow if mremap() doesn't exist. | |
| 83 - login_max_processes_count shouldn't count proxying processes | |
| 84 | |
| 85 - Allow %variables in mail_chroot setting | |
| 86 - something should be done to umask setting. we should be creating files with | |
| 87 0666 or 0777 and rely on umask, but we shouldn't do that unless we're sure | |
| 88 that the umask is the wanted one (ie. imap/pop3 process wasn't started | |
| 89 directly) | |
| 90 - ssl_verify_client_cert isn't working if the SSL cert doesn't have CRL | |
| 91 | |
| 3087 | 92 - keywords: |
| 93 - add some limits to how many there can be | |
| 94 - don't return \* in PERMANENTFLAGS when we're full | |
| 95 - remove unused keywords? | |
| 2774 | 96 |
| 97 - caching | |
| 3904 | 98 - force bits should be used only for nonregistered fields |
| 99 - change envelope parsing not to use get_headers() so imap.envelope can | |
| 100 actually be cached without all the headers.. | |
| 6105 | 101 - if there's no other pressure for compression, we should do it when |
| 102 enough temp fields are ready to be dropped | |
| 3904 | 103 - we could try compressing same field values into a single |
| 104 location in cache file. | |
| 2774 | 105 |
| 3087 | 106 - mbox |
| 4449 | 107 - dirty state should be stored to index (with mbox_very_dirty_syncs) |
| 108 - after some locking timeouts: mbox-lock.c: line 518 (mbox_lock): | |
| 109 assertion failed: (lock_type == F_RDLCK || mbox->mbox_lock_type != F_RDLCK) | |
| 110 - controldir for mboxes too and place subscriptions file there? | |
| 3904 | 111 - syncing existing indexes takes 4x longer than creating new one, why? |
| 112 - how well does dirty sync + status work? it reads the last mail every | |
| 113 time? not very good.. | |
| 114 - always add empty line. make the parser require it too? syncing should | |
| 115 make sure there always exists two LFs at end of file. raw-mbox-stream | |
| 116 should make sure the last message ends with LF even if it doesn't exist | |
| 117 in the file | |
| 118 - Quote "From ", unquote ">From " | |
| 4449 | 119 - COPY doesn't work to itself (lock assert crash, for now just disallowed) |
| 2143 | 120 - if we can't create dotlock file for mbox, make sure it still can be |
| 121 selected in read-only state | |
| 122 | |
| 123 - index | |
| 124 - if log file is lost, generate it from old and new index | |
| 3087 | 125 - read-only support for mailboxes where we don't have write-access |
| 6105 | 126 - index file format changes: |
| 127 - pack UIDs to beginning of file with UID ranges | |
| 128 - use squat-like compressed uid ranges everywhere | |
| 6782 | 129 - write first extension intros in dovecot.index.log always with names |
| 130 - or better yet, drop the intro concept completely as it is now | |
| 131 - add "transaction boundaries" so we know which records belong to a | |
| 132 single transaction. | |
| 133 - only after that we can remove the transaction log offset | |
| 134 overwriting (otherwise we can get partial transactions in views) | |
| 2143 | 135 |
| 4449 | 136 - namespaces |
| 137 - namespaces: add new "auto_disable" flag so if the mailbox can't be opened | |
| 138 (eg. file doesn't exist), just ignore the problem and disable the | |
| 139 namespace | |
| 140 | |
| 141 - lib-storage | |
| 5557 | 142 - rename: allow moving between storages, as long as they're of same type |
| 4449 | 143 - x search charset asdf all -> should fail |
| 3087 | 144 - should we allow following symlinks in mbox/maildirs? they are now. |
| 145 - if we implement shared mailboxes with shared indexes, never do that or | |
| 146 others could symlink your personal mailboxes and see the indexes | |
| 147 created for it which may contain envelope etc. data | |
| 148 - this allows circular mailbox hierarchies which should be prevented by | |
| 149 eg. allowing max. 20 hierarchies. | |
| 150 | |
| 151 - login | |
| 4449 | 152 - when pipelining login command + post-login commands, login process should |
| 153 pass the command to imap/pop3 process (at least one pop3 client does this) | |
| 154 - imap-login: Master sent reply with unknown tag 1. client closed | |
| 155 connection at the exact same time master was logging it in? | |
| 156 see master_request_abort() | |
| 3087 | 157 - Digest-MD5: support integrity protection, and maybe crypting. Do it |
| 158 through login process like SSL is done? | |
| 159 - x login foo bar | |
| 160 x NO Authentication failed. | |
| 161 x login cras pass | |
| 162 * BYE Disconnected for inactivity. | |
| 163 ^ but it's not disconnecting! (buggy dovecot-auth not replying) | |
| 3744 | 164 probably because userdb lookup didn't reply, and fd was already sent |
| 165 for master.. should imap-login be handling it anymore?.. | |
| 3087 | 166 - imap-login: Authenticate PLAIN failed: Authentication failed: |
| 167 Authentication server isn't connected, try again later.. [127.0.0.1] | |
| 168 ^ NO Authentication failed. (should be Temporary login failure!) | |
| 169 - if auth process dies, login process should retry authentication if | |
| 170 possible. or if not, disconnect the client so it doesn't think the auth | |
| 171 failed. | |
| 172 - send client IP immediately after accept() to master process. make sure | |
| 173 master shows the IP if login dies unexpectedly. master should probably | |
| 174 also kill the login process if it doesn't kill itself soon enough.. or | |
| 175 maybe just log the IP immediately. | |
| 474 | 176 |
| 3087 | 177 - auth |
| 4449 | 178 - with blocking passdb we're not caching lookups if the password was wrong |
| 5557 | 179 - non-plaintext authentication doesn't support all features: |
| 180 - multiple passdbs don't work, only the first one is used | |
| 181 - auth cache's last_success password change check doesn't exist | |
| 6987 | 182 - allow returning multiple gids |
| 3087 | 183 - SIGHUP restarts auth processes .. but does it wait until they've finished |
| 184 with all requests? no. | |
| 185 - does dovecot-auth really break when it runs out of fds? | |
| 4449 | 186 - dovecot-auth should limit how fast authentication requests are allowed |
| 187 from login processes. especially if there's one login/connection the speed | |
| 3087 | 188 should be something like once/sec. also limit how fast to accept new |
| 189 connections. | |
| 190 - support read-only logins. user could with alternative password get only | |
| 191 read-access to mails so mails could be read relatively safely with | |
| 192 untrusted computers. Maybe always send [ALERT] about the previous | |
| 193 read-only login time with IP? | |
| 4449 | 194 - dovecot-auth workers: create a separate dovecot-pam worker which shares |
| 195 pretty much all code with dovecot-auth worker but isn't linked against | |
| 196 any libraries. or..? this might be difficult to do, especially because the | |
| 197 workers currently can handle any kind of passdb/userb requests. perhaps | |
| 198 there should be a completely separate simple PAM authenticator binary. | |
| 526 | 199 |
| 3087 | 200 - master |
| 201 - configurable syslog prefix | |
| 3450 | 202 - if there are duplicate settings, complain about it |
| 3087 | 203 |
| 204 - quota | |
| 205 - if dovecot-uidlist can't be written, assume the new mails have UIDs | |
| 206 beginning from uidlist.next_uid. Whenever mails are expunged, overwrite | |
| 207 the next_uid field with the current highest next_uid. Whenever we have | |
| 208 assumed UIDs and uidlist gets updated, throw the client out with | |
| 209 "inconsist mailbox". | |
| 210 | |
| 211 - ssl | |
| 212 - add setting: ssl_options = bitmask. by default we enable all openssl | |
| 213 workarounds, this could be used to disable some of them | |
| 214 - gnutls support isn't working | |
| 965 | 215 |
| 3087 | 216 - search |
| 6232 | 217 - message header search: we should ignore LWSP between two MIME blocks(?) |
| 218 - message_search_init() could accept multiple search keywords so we | |
| 1250 | 219 wouldn't need to call it separately for each one (so we wouldn't need |
| 220 to parse the message multiple times). | |
| 221 - could optionally support scanning inside file attachments and use | |
| 222 plugins to extract text out of them (word, excel, pdf, etc. etc.) | |
| 223 - Create our own extension: When searching with TEXT/BODY, return | |
| 224 the message text surrounding the keywords just like web search engines | |
| 225 do. like: SEARCH X-PRINT-MATCHES TEXT "hello" -> * SEARCH 1 "He said: | |
| 226 Hello world!" 2 "Hello, I'm ...". This would be especially useful with | |
| 227 the above attachment scanning. | |
| 0 | 228 |
| 4449 | 229 - deliver |
| 5557 | 230 - recipient_delimiter setting so user+mailbox@domain works directly |
| 4449 | 231 |
| 3087 | 232 - general |
| 4449 | 233 - stop using atol(), atoi(), strtoul() etc. in places where we actually |
| 234 care about what they return, and rather create our own function which | |
| 235 checks if the input overflows the integer, and if so call i_fatal() | |
| 3087 | 236 - rfc2231 continuation support (useless?) |
| 1553 | 237 - rfc2557 support for BODYSTRUCTURE, as specified by RFC3501 |
| 4449 | 238 - LMTP server |
| 239 - ability to build plugins statically into the binaries | |
| 3087 | 240 - ~/.dovecotrc to override system wide settings. namespace settings should |
| 241 override all the previous namespace settings instead of adding new. | |
| 242 - things break if next_uid gets to 2^32 | |
