[Dovecot] External auth
by eechim enorniel 19 Dec '13

19 Dec '13

Hello, I saw a lot of tutorials about setting postfix with dovecot sasl but I would like more. I want to set a SSO system with roundcube on dovecot. I would like to know how to make dovecot work with sasl or saml, not as a provider but as a service plugging on an external provider. I saw there is an EXTERNAL auth mechanism but I didn't find any doc about it. Can you help me ? Thanks.

[Dovecot] Mailbox with .broken files
by Michael Smith (DF) 19 Dec '13

19 Dec '13

We're using Dovecot 2.2.4 and mdbox storage with compression. I noticed yesterday that at least one of the accounts has unusual files in it's mail/storage directory. This account has approximately 17.5G of compressed mail, across about 750 storage files (m.###) using 8G of storage. Starting on Dec 11, storage files m.409 through m.731 have not only their m.### file, but also a m.###.broken file. At the same time .temp.<unix time>.<unique id>.<hostname> files also started showing up... ... -rw--w---- 1 user123 mail 3225 Dec 12 04:38 m.708 -rw--w---- 1 user123 mail 167106 Dec 12 03:35 m.708.broken -rw--w---- 1 user123 mail 46155 Dec 12 04:38 m.709 -rw--w---- 1 user123 mail 177267 Dec 12 03:40 m.709.broken -rw--w---- 1 user123 mail 20965889 Nov 26 19:22 m.71 -rw--w---- 1 user123 mail 133248 Dec 12 04:38 m.710 -rw--w---- 1 user123 mail 264361 Dec 12 03:40 m.710.broken -rw--w---- 1 user123 mail 103407 Dec 12 04:38 m.711 -rw--w---- 1 user123 mail 627736 Dec 12 03:40 m.711.broken -rw--w---- 1 user123 mail 5132 Dec 12 04:38 m.712 -rw--w---- 1 user123 mail 136244 Dec 12 03:40 m.712.broken -rw--w---- 1 user123 mail 187224 Dec 12 04:38 m.713 -rw--w---- 1 user123 mail 351104 Dec 12 03:45 m.713.broken -rw--w---- 1 user123 mail 435793 Dec 12 04:38 m.714 -rw--w---- 1 user123 mail 566906 Dec 12 03:45 m.714.broken -rw--w---- 1 user123 mail 60916 Dec 12 04:38 m.715 -rw--w---- 1 user123 mail 192028 Dec 12 03:50 m.715.broken -rw--w---- 1 user123 mail 38051 Dec 12 04:38 m.716 -rw--w---- 1 user123 mail 169163 Dec 12 03:50 m.716.broken -rw--w---- 1 user123 mail 226067 Dec 12 04:38 m.717 -rw--w---- 1 user123 mail 389948 Dec 12 04:00 m.717.broken ... -rw--w---- 1 user123 mail 20967506 Dec 2 17:32 m.96 -rw--w---- 1 user123 mail 20967131 Dec 2 18:40 m.97 -rw--w---- 1 user123 mail 20969078 Dec 2 18:38 m.98 -rw--w---- 1 user123 mail 20963978 Dec 2 19:23 m.99 -rw--w---- 1 user123 mail 294968 Dec 11 20:05 .temp.1386813944.P9142Q0M123686.myhost -rw--w---- 1 user123 mail 294968 Dec 11 20:05 .temp.1386813967.P9213Q0M387733.myhost -rw--w---- 1 user123 mail 294968 Dec 11 20:05 .temp.1386813970.P9231Q0M371190.myhost -rw--w---- 1 user123 mail 327736 Dec 11 20:05 .temp.1386813972.P9173Q0M932070.myhost -rw--w---- 1 user123 mail 327736 Dec 11 20:05 .temp.1386813972.P9239Q0M114754.myhost -rw--w---- 1 user123 mail 327736 Dec 11 20:05 .temp.1386813983.P9261Q0M640646.myhost -rw--w---- 1 user123 mail 1048632 Dec 11 20:06 .temp.1386814038.P9515Q0M530600.myhost I'm not really seeing anything that stands out in the maillog during this time.

[Dovecot] problem with password in a changing scenario
by Angel Luis Mateo Martinez 19 Dec '13

19 Dec '13

Hello, I'm having a problem with with password changing. According to http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/Caching, I understand "normal scenario" and "Using old cached password scenario", but I'm having a problem with the "Early change scenario". I understand that in this case, if in step 4 user tries password Y, then this password is not tried again and login fails. But if the user tries another password Z, then is it test it? Or does it directly fail? I think that it is directly failing. And here is my problem... I am using dovecot with a ldap backend and another pam backend. The first one is users connecting with an email client. The other one applies when the ldap backend fails and it is use for connections from our webmail, which is integrated in our CAS SSO environment (it has running an imap proxy too). Sometimes (the only scenari we were able to reproduce is with users that for some reason has two SSO sessions opened) dovecot receives an invalid CAS ticket, then authentication fails, and no newer tickets are tried until cache is clean. That's why I think that in this scenario another Z password is even tried. Any idea? -- Angel L.

[Dovecot] letters local filter duplicated
by John Smith 18 Dec '13

18 Dec '13

two servers with replicated master/master. dovecot.conf = http://pastebin.com/jVnvyWZM with this setup letters processed local filter duplicated. ie when the mail client receives a letter begins processing using rules (filters) to move the letters in a different folder. summarized in this folder is two duplicate letters. if you disable the filter, the message is not duplicated. But does not move to another location. -- Best Regards, Evgeny Senior System Administrator OOO "Vaz Service Hurley"

[Dovecot] Size detection/replair does not work with zlib
by Roland Rosenfeld 18 Dec '13

18 Dec '13

Hi! Usually dovecot auto detects or repairs the size of a maildir message. So I can place a message named "foo" in the cur directory and dovecot uses it. Now I tried the same with a zlib compressed message but here dovecot doesn't recognize/repair the size of the message. When I access this folder via IMAP the connection is diconnected and in dovecot logs I see the following error messages: Error: Cached message size smaller than expected (805 < 2666) Error: Corrupted index cache file /somedir/dovecot.index.cache: Broken physical size for mail UID 23 Error: read() failed: Input/output error (FETCH for mailbox INBOX UID 23) Disconnected: Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. [2013-12-12 10:54:18] in=321 out=1977 As you can see in the first line, dovecot does know the compressed size of the file (805) as well as the uncompressed size (2666), but it isn't able to repair its index for this. If I modify the setup a little with a standard file naming but with a wrong file size in S-flag (compressed size instead of uncompressed size), the log entries become stranger: Error: Cached message size smaller than expected (805 < 2666) Error: Maildir filename has wrong S value, renamed the file from /somedir/cur/1386772057.M152553P9709.host,S=805:2, to /somedir/cur/1386772057.M152553P9709.host,S=805:2, So here dovecot detects the wrong S value, but instead of fixing it by using the uncompressed size, it renames to the same file name as before... All the above was tested with dovecot 2.1.17. We did a short cross test with 2.2.9 which gives somewhat different error messages, but also isn't able to detect/repair the (uncompressed) file size: Error: Cached message size smaller than expected (805 < 2666) Error: Corrupted index cache file /somedir/dovecot.index.cache: Broken physical size for mail UID 23 Error: read(zlib(/somedir/cur/foo)) failed: Invalid argument We also noticed that on both dovecot versions after trying to access the above file, dovecot.index.cache is always deleted and not rebuild... Is all this intended behavior? It sounds different to the standard behavior of dovecot, that repairs broken folders if possible... Ciao Roland

[Dovecot] configure lmtp to deliver to email addresses case insensitively
by Adrian Zaugg 17 Dec '13

17 Dec '13

Dear List Using dovecot 2.1.7 with LMTP and exim4 I want to accept local parts regardless of their case. Exim does all virtual alias handling and delivers the messages to dovecot LMTP addressed to the right mailbox name. This works well except for addresses which do not need to be resolved by exim and which do have the "wrong" case in the local part. For example: There is a mailbox and a user on the mailsystem "example.org" called "user". Mails to "user(a)example.org" get delivered just as they should. If an incoming message is addressed to "USER(a)example.org" with upper case local part, exim passes the message to LMTP with the case unaltered (RFC 2821 conform), but LMTP fails with: LMTP error after RCPT TO:<USER(a)example.org>: 550 5.1.1 <USER(a)example.org> User doesn't exist: USER(a)example.org How can I tell dovecot to deliver "USER" to the mailbox "user" aswell? Thank you for your help. Best regards, Adrian. (I have tried to use %Ln and %Lu in mail_location setting with no success.)

[Dovecot] Dovecot proxy and Postfix SASL
by Andreas Kasenides 17 Dec '13

17 Dec '13

Can somebody please verify that currently (v 2.2.9) SMTP AUTH using SASL from Postfix with Dovecot proxy is still not supported as discussed in these threads (especially the first one)? http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2012-August/067977.html http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2011-May/059107.html As I understand it is possible to use saslauthd to do this by using the remote imap option (rimap). Such a facility is important since I am attempting to separate the outward facing servers (dovecot proxy, postfix relay) that have no knowledge of user databases from the backends. thanx Andreas

Is there a way to retrieve the client's password in plain text from memory ? I don't store the password in plain text in my postgreSQL but I need it when the client is connected to make crypto computation. If I write a plugin to do the job, how could I retrieve the plain text password from master ?

[Dovecot] Turn of mount point adding?
by Scott Galambos 16 Dec '13

16 Dec '13

I'm running dovecot 2.2.5 and would like to completely turn off all automatic adding of mount points. So var/lib/dovecot/mounts would be empty essentially. Is this possible? Somehow dovecot always adds a mount point that does not exist and was removed a long time ago. I've dove: doveadm mount add '/my custom path/*' ignore but it still will add mount points in the "mounts" file and flag them as online. for example: ignore /apps/proftp/servers/ftp.domain.ca/* ignore /mnt/* online / online /apps/proftp/servers/ftp.domain.ca/www.site1.com online /apps/proftp/servers/ftp.domain.ca/www.site2.com online /apps/proftp/servers/ftp.domain.ca/www.site3.com what does it list site1, 2 and 3 if its suppose to ignore the root path with the first line? I would to completely disable all mountpoints. Even "doveadm mount add '/*' ignore" should render a mounts file empty on reboot correct? It doesn't and keeps rebuilding it.

[Dovecot] Is mail deleted when mail-filter fails?
by martijn.list 15 Dec '13

15 Dec '13

Hi, While experimenting with the mail-filter, during some tests my filter failed with a non-zero exit code and did not write any data to the output. This seems to result in a lost email. Is this correct? Is there a way to gracefully handle error from a mail-filter out script? Kind regards, Martijn Brinkers

[Dovecot] Possible pigeonhole dealing with negative numerical values
by Sam Mulvey 14 Dec '13

14 Dec '13

Using dovecot 2.2.9 and pigeonhole 0.4.2 The system is a Xen VM running Arch Linux x86_64, presently up to date, on an XFS filesystem in an LVM2 partition. After recently updating my mail server, I found that a sieve rule I had which would check X-Spam-Score for a value over a certain number, in my case 2.5. In my most recent update, negative values would trip the rule. Here's the rule in question: # rule:[Spam Filter Subject] if anyof (header :contains "Subject" "[SPAM]", header :value "gt" :comparator "i;as cii-numeric" "X-Spam-Score" "2.5") { fileinto "Spam Box"; stop; } I have a successful work-around by checking the numerical value and also insuring that the header doesn't contain a '-', and things work as they should. Possible the bug could be in my Sieve interface, which is a RoundCube plugin. Otherwise things are working great. If there's anything I can add, please let me know. Thanks! -Sam dovecot -n output: # 2.2.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.12.4-1-ARCH x86_64 xfs auth_cache_size = 512 k auth_cache_ttl = 10 mins auth_mechanisms = plain login auth_verbose = yes default_internal_user = mailstore first_valid_gid = 50 first_valid_uid = 50 hostname = tacomatelematics.com last_valid_gid = 50 last_valid_uid = 50 lda_mailbox_autocreate = yes mail_gid = 50 mail_location = maildir:/var/spool/mail/%d/%n/Maildir/ mail_privileged_group = postfix mail_uid = 50 managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date ihave namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = separator = . type = private } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } plugin { sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve } postmaster_address = postmaster(a)tacomatelematics.com protocols = imap pop3 lmtp sieve service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0666 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-master { group = mailstore mode = 01130 user = mailstore } unix_listener auth-userdb { group = mailstore mode = 0600 user = mailstore } } service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve { port = 4190 } inet_listener sieve_deprecated { port = 2000 } } ssl_cert = </etc/certificate.pem ssl_key = </etc/certificate.pem userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = " sieve" } protocol lda { mail_plugins = " sieve" }

[Dovecot] v2.2.8 released
by Timo Sirainen 13 Dec '13

13 Dec '13

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.8.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.8.tar.gz.sig + Mail cache lookups work for the mail being saved. This improves performance by avoiding the need to parse the mail multiple times when using some plugins (e.g. mail_log). + Mail cache works for recently cached data also with in-memory indexes. + imapc: Many performance improvements, especially when working with dsync. Also added imapc_feature=fetch-headers which allows using FETCH BODY.PEEK[HEADER.FIELDS (..)] to avoid reading the entire header. + mail_location = ..:FULLDIRNAME=dbox-Mails is the same as :DIRNAME=dbox-Mails, but it will also be used for :INDEX and :CONTROL directories. (It should have worked this way from the beginning, but can't be changed anymore without breaking existing installations). - Fixed infinite loop in message parsing if message ends with "--boundary" and CR (without LF). Messages saved via SMTP/LMTP can't trigger this, because messages must end with an "LF.". A user could trigger this for him/herself though. - lmtp: Client was sometimes disconnected before all the output was sent to it. - imap_zlib plugin caused crashes during client disconnection in v2.2.7 - replicator: Database wasn't being exported to disk every 15 minutes as it should have. Instead it was being imported, causing "doveadm replicator remove" commands to not work very well.

I googled "safe_mkstemp permission denied" and first hit is this thread dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2010-August/052319.html which mentions this error coming about from chrooting users. Looking back on your post, I see http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2013-December/093900.html mail_chroot = /var/vmail As long as your desperate, maybe try leaving this setting empty? (This doesn't explain why it's not deterministic though.) Try process traces -- I do when I'm stumped. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

[Dovecot] dovecot-imapd eating 100% cpu every once in a while
by Nikolaus Rath 13 Dec '13

Hello, About once or twice a week, dovecot's imap-login process on my system seems gets out of control, eating 100% CPU for about 2 hours. Afterwards everything seems to go back to normal. I am using Dovecot 2.1.7 on a 64 bit Debian wheezy system. When running gdb on the process in this stage, I get the following traceback: #0 0x00007fcba50c5a90 in read () from /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 #1 0x00007fcba4aa01aa in ??

[Dovecot] Locking down master user to certain domains through passwd-file auth
by Andrew Obertas 12 Dec '13

12 Dec '13

Hello, I know it is possible to lock down a master user to only have access to certain domains through SQL login but I was wondering if the same was possible with a passwd-based system. I currently have a master-passwd file residing in the /etc/virtual/domain.com/ directories I want the master user to be able to log in to. Is there a way to tell passdb to only allow the master user login to proceed if they can auth to the master-passwd file in the same folder as the user? Alternatively, is there a better way to go about this? What I assumed would be the easy approach, where the domain from the user's e-mail is fetched, doesn't seem to work as %d fetches the master user's domain and, unless I'm doing something wrong, the login_domain variable cannot be used as this is outside Dovecot-auth. Any assistance with this would be appreciated. -- Best regards, Andrew Obertas Technical Support Representative Infinet Communications Group

[Dovecot] what's wrong with this config file?
by Jim Reid 12 Dec '13

12 Dec '13

Hi. I'm setting up a new IMAPS server. Mail users don't have login access to the box but will each have unique UNIX-style UIDs: no back-end database or LDAP thing. So far. Their mail will get delivered to UNIX-style mailboxes in /var/mail/%u (where %u is the UNIX username obviously). Their IMAP folders will go in /var/imap/%u. These will contain subfolders once everyone migrates to the new set-up and some folders will contain messages and subfolders. I think this is what I configured in dovecot. However when I try to set up a test account, dovecot reports the following error: Dec 12 02:22:00 shaun dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<jim>, method=CRAM-MD5, rip=10.0.0.1, lip=10.1.1.1, mpid=14874, TLS, session=<8Hy1Ak3t+gDDNulD> Dec 12 02:22:00 shaun dovecot: imap(jim): Error: user jim: Initialization failed: namespace configuration error: Duplicate namespace prefix: "" Dec 12 02:22:00 shaun dovecot: imap(jim): Error: Invalid user settings. Refer to server log for more information. I've checked and re-checked the wiki. google was unable to suggest any explanation either. Any ideas what's wrong?

[Dovecot] ot: tracking messages- luser troubleshooting

I had a user complaining of 'not getting emails' I've searched for sender in maillog, got two messages, both showed up as; Dec 12 15:51:29 emu postfix/pipe[9607]: 3F21C5E750: to=<xxx>, relay=dovecot, delay=6.4, delays=6.3/0.01/0/0.12, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered via dovecot service) Dec 12 15:51:29 emu postfix/qmgr[20178]: 3F21C5E750: removed yes the user claimed the message was not received, eventually, after traversing through severl directories, I found the message in '../Maildir/.Deleted Messages' it turns out it was inadvertenltly deleted on iphone. there has to be a better way to try to find / resolve such issues ? what's an optimal way of trying to trace such? I greped for the 3F21C5E750 string through several Maildirs tia,

[Dovecot] Dovecot as caching proxy
by Anton Lundin 12 Dec '13

12 Dec '13

Hi. I'm bin playing around with dovecot to try to setup it as a caching imap proxy. I manged to get dovecot to use both proxy=y and imapc: connections to the master server, but i haven't manged to get dovecot to cache any mails. The remote imap server is a quite hostile one, that i don't have any super/master user access to, and it only exposes imap. I've used tried both with the static passdb, nopassword=y, and imap authdb and with static and prefetch userdbs. I manage to produce the same results, eg. dovecot grabbing the password from the client and uses it to establish a imapc connection to the server and re-exposing it, and starts to write indexes. ( The later plan is probably to use pam as passdb to grab a and store a hashed copy of the password to allow offline access to the cached emails, but thats a later problem to solve.) What i haven't managed to get working is to trigger some replication of the remote emails to dovecot and using that as a cache to serve the emails to the client. I found some presentations and some emails that point in the direction that this should be possible to achieve, probably with the replication plugin, but never managed to get this to work. I'm using dovecot 2.2.9 Does anyone have manged to produce a working setup like this? //Anton -- Anton Lundin +46702-161604

[Dovecot] Dovecot connection problem - Too many invalid commands (no auth attempts) - v2.0.19
by Thomas Standaert 12 Dec '13

12 Dec '13

Hello. This might be a silly problem, but I'm a bit a newbie at this, and the internet didn't give me a solution to this yet. I installed a mail server with postfix, dovecot, postfixadmin and a mysql DB for authentification, using this tutorial : <http://www.exratione.com/2012/05/a-mailserver-on-ubuntu-1204-postfix-doveco t-mysql/> http://www.exratione.com/2012/05/a-mailserver-on-ubuntu-1204-postfix-dovecot -mysql/. Except step 4. The complete tutorial worked on a virtual machine, but doesn't work here on a vps from ovh.net. Connecting via telnet localhost 143 works, I can connect. When I try to connect via thunderbird, the domain name is picked up, but gives me a bad login/password combination. Mail.log, mail.err and error don't show anything. Via MS Outlook, I seem to get stuck on the connection page, and I get the following errors in mail.log: dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Too many invalid commands (no auth attempts): rip=x, lip=y dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=x, lip=y dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=x, lip=y, TLS: Disconnected dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=x, lip=y, TLS: Disconnected dovecot: pop3-login: Aborted login (no auth attempts): rip=x, lip=y dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=x, lip=y, TLS: Disconnected dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts rip=x, lip=y dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=x, lip=y, TLS handshaking: Disconnected dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=x, lip=y, TLS handshaking: Disconnected And after a while asks to try to connect via plain method. Doveconf -n gives me this # 2.0.19: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-042stab068.8 x86_64 Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS simfs auth_mechanisms = plain login first_valid_uid = 150 last_valid_uid = 150 mail_gid = mail mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%n mail_uid = vmail passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } protocols = " imap pop3" service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-userdb { group = mail mode = 0600 user = vmail } } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } Hope you guys can help me, and thanks in advance for it.

[Dovecot] Selectively allow non-SSL connections based on userdb
by Trent Lloyd 12 Dec '13

12 Dec '13

Howdy Folks, I am considering transitioning our mail service over to SSL-only. As a transition mechanism, it would make sense to force all new accounts to use SSL, but still allow old accounts to go unencrypted until some transition date passes. I have done some extensive searching but could not figure a mechanism through which I could specify a setting for this in userdb or similar. Does anyone have any ideas that doesn’t involve a post-login script? Thanks, Trent

[Dovecot] Plugin development - ostream and index cache size
by Philipp Brüll 11 Dec '13

11 Dec '13

Hi, I'm new to this list, so first thanks for the dovecot tool! So far, it has been great to work with. Currently, I'm developing a scrambler plugin for dovecot, that should stores the mails encrypted. To do that, I've created the scrambler_ostream and scrambler_istream that does the encryption and that I hook in the mail storage process. The scrambler_ostream is stacked on top of the output stream of the mail_save_context (mail_save_context->data.output) and the scrambler_istream is attached to the input stream when the virtual function istream_opened in the mail_private struct is called. Basically, the encrypt/decrypt works, but during the process the data size changes slightly. And when I'm doing a FETCH BINARY[] via imap, it results in the error... Cached message size smaller than expected (204 < 208) Error: Corrupted index cache file /home/.../mail/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index.cache: Broken physical size for mail UID 1 My guess is, that the FETCH function tries to deliver the unencrypted cache version of the mail (204 bytes) and not the stored version (208 bytes). How can I make dovecot cache the output of my scrambler_ostream or at least disable this caching for testing? I've read already a lot of code, but I've found a hint yet. How does - for example - the zlib plugin handle this issue? I have read the code a couple of times, but still have no clue. Best regards, Philipp

[Dovecot] OT: Large corporate email systems - Exchange vs open source *nix based
by Charles Marcus 11 Dec '13

11 Dec '13

Hello, There has been some whispers about considering migrating our mail systems to Exchange Server. I want to try to nip this in the bud. I would like to ask for some help with providing some kind of comparison of large(r) commercial companies use of email systems... specifically, those using Microsoft Exchange Server, vs those using open source Linux/Unix based systems, including even commercial *nix groupware based systems like Zimbra, as well as plain mail systems like dovecot, or cyrus or courier. I know that many (if they are smart) Admins that do use Exchange internally will use postfix (or something else linux/unix based) in front of it as their relayhost (for both inbound and outbound), so just counting the number of publicly accessible smtp servers won't be a good gauge. Does anyone know of any decent non-biased studies that have been done, hopefully relatively recently (last few years) that provide such a comparison? Thanks, -- Best regards, */Charles/*

11 Dec '13

Newbie to the list here. I don’t know if this is Dovecot specific, but I can see that my IMAP server is running Dovecot. So far (as a client) I haven’t been able to figure out how to get it to tell me the version number. What I’m trying to get is more detailed info in order to debug an IMAP problem. I’ve been unable to retrieve email since the 27th of November on this specific account. Another user on the same domain/email receives and sends email just fine. Having tried both Apple Mail, Thunderbird, as well as a Telnet terminal connection, I see two problems, but am unaware of what to do from here to verify or fix the problem. First is that the SSL certificate is a self signed one from some local hosting service. Fair enough, I told OS X to trust it (for now), both in Mail and Thunderbird (and Safari). Second is that when logging in via the terminal, I can log in fine, navigate to any folder and read any email on the server - with the exception of the Inbox. Anytime I issue a “Select” or “Examine” command with the “Inbox” as argument, the connection is dropped. E.g.: after logging in, listing folders, navigating around, I do this: a select inbox closed Sonovo:~ Thunder$ and am back at the terminal prompt. If I do an “Email Trace” in CPanel on my server (hosting both my website and IMAP email accounts), I see a long list of emails accepted to my address and in the system, but I cannot seem to access them from any client. There may well be a better list/forum for discussing this kind of thing. I was actually on a mailing list years ago with Mark Crispin himself, but haven’t spoken with him in 10 years or more. I’m not sure where to go for more help/info. I’m not a complete (l)user, but nor am I a guru (tm). Any tips or help is greatly appreciated! Sonovo

[Dovecot] post-logout scripting
by Jouko Nikula 11 Dec '13

11 Dec '13

Hi all, I found this (http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2010-January/045717.html) describing how to do a post-logout script. But is this valid anymore? It seems I'm getting error when trying to execute imap process in post-logout script and post logout documentation does not talk about executing imap. I'm trying to umount (virtual) user home directory when user logs out. Thanks, - Jouko

[Dovecot] undoing a zlib test
by Terry Barnum 10 Dec '13

10 Dec '13

I'm trying to undo a dovecot zlib test and uncompress 6 emails in my Junk mailbox. There are about 25 total in different mailboxes but I thought I'd first start with those in my Junk. I ran: # dsync -v -u terry(a)dop.com -m Junk -o plugin/zlib_save= backup maildir:/path/to/temp/folder which returned without error and backed up my Junk mailbox but didn't uncompress the 6 emails. Am I calling dsync incorrectly to uncompress? zlib is currently not loaded as a plugin. Once I get them uncompressed is doveadm import the correct way to get them back into my Junk mailbox? Something like this? # doveadm -v import -u terry(a)dop.com maildir:/path/to/temp/folder "" mailbox Junk SENTON 2013-12-06 Thanks, -Terry # 2.2.9: /opt/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Darwin 11.4.2 x86_64 hfs auth_verbose = yes base_dir = /opt/local/var/run/dovecot/ default_internal_user = _dovecot default_login_user = _dovenull first_valid_uid = 102 last_valid_uid = 105 listen = * mail_gid = 102 mail_location = maildir:/Volumes/mail/vmail/%d/%u mail_uid = 102 managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date ihave namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = } passdb { args = /opt/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } plugin { antispam_backend = dspam antispam_debug_target = syslog antispam_dspam_args = --user;%u;--deliver=;--source=error;--signature=%%s antispam_dspam_binary = /opt/local/bin/dspamc antispam_dspam_notspam = --class=innocent antispam_dspam_result_header = X-DSPAM-Result antispam_dspam_spam = --class=spam antispam_signature = X-DSPAM-Signature antispam_signature_missing = move antispam_spam_pattern_ignorecase = junk;spam;junk * antispam_trash_pattern_ignorecase = trash;deleted * mail_log_events = flag_change append delete undelete expunge copy sieve = ~/dovecot.sieve sieve_before = /Volumes/mail/vmail/%d/global/global.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve } protocols = imap pop3 lmtp sieve sendmail_path = /opt/local/sbin/sendmail service auth-worker { user = $default_internal_user } service auth { unix_listener /opt/local/var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = _postfix mode = 0660 user = _postfix } unix_listener auth-userdb { mode = 0660 user = _vmail } } ssl_cert = </opt/local/etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.cert ssl_key = </opt/local/etc/ssl/private/dovecot.key userdb { args = /opt/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = " sieve" } protocol lda { mail_plugins = " sieve" postmaster_address = postmaster(a)dop.com } protocol imap { mail_max_userip_connections = 50 mail_plugins = " antispam" } Terry Barnum digital OutPost http://www.dop.com

Re: [Dovecot] Index issue? - SOLVED

They were subscribed in Outlook, but there's no option to set that on the iPad. The solution was to edit the mail account settings on the iPad and specify a root folder "INBOX" (minus quotes). -Mark On 10 December 2013 13:15, Daniel Parthey <d.parthey(a)metaways.de> wrote: > Are all the subfolders subscribed? > > For example Thunderbird doesn't show unsubscribed folders by default. > > Regards > Daniel

[Dovecot] dsync verbosity, summary of transfer
by Alan McGinlay - SICS 10 Dec '13

10 Dec '13

Hi! I am playing with dsync and trying to fix an issue I have mentioned in another thread (subject: "Re: [Dovecot] Dsync error: Couldn't drop privileges: getgrnam") and feel that dsync could use some additional informational output. It would be particularly helpful while experimenting with a migration if it could output a transfer summary and / or log separately. A summary could be similar to that which imapsync outputs after completion, for example: ++++ Statistics Transfer started on : Thu Dec 5 20:30:05 2013 Transfer ended on : Thu Dec 5 20:32:00 2013 Transfer time : 114.3 sec Messages transferred : 7 Messages skipped : 766 Messages found duplicate on host1 : 0 Messages found duplicate on host2 : 0 Messages void (noheader) on host1 : 0 Messages void (noheader) on host2 : 0 Messages deleted on host1 : 0 Messages deleted on host2 : 9 Total bytes transferred : 71820 (70.137 KiB) Total bytes duplicate host1 : 0 (0.000 KiB) Total bytes duplicate host2 : 0 (0.000 KiB) Total bytes skipped : 10070561 (9.604 MiB) Total bytes error : 0 (0.000 KiB) Message rate : 0.1 messages/s Average bandwidth rate : 0.6 KiB/s Reconnections to host1 : 0 Reconnections to host2 : 0 Memory consumption : 90.5 MiB Biggest message : 39274 bytes Detected 0 errors

[Dovecot] Dovecot+LDAP lda problem
by Zeljko Culek 10 Dec '13

10 Dec '13

Hello everyone, I need some help with Dovecot+LDAP config and local delivery. We're using Dovecot 2.0.9 on Centos 6.4. Before, we used Qmail with the same LDAP. Our LDAP accounts have the attribute deliveryMode which we used for mailing lists (OK, they are in fact mailing groups rather than lists). When the attribute is set to deliveryMode = nolocal Qmail did not deliver mail to the list mailbox, only to the accounts on the list/group. Now with Dovecot(+postfix) I can't achieve the same behaviour. Can Dovecot be set up not to deliver the mail to the list mailbox if the list has the attribute deliveryMode = nolocal? This is my /etc/dovecot/conf.d/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext hosts = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx auth_bind = yes dn = cn=admin,dc=nth,dc=ch dnpass = xxxxxxxxxx ldap_version = 3 base = dc=nth,dc=ch #deref = always scope = subtree user_attrs = mail=user user_filter = (|(&(objectclass=inetOrgPerson)(mail=%u))(|(mailAlternateAddress=%u))) pass_attrs = uid=user pass_filter = (&(objectclass=inetOrgPerson)(|(mail=%u)(mailAlternateAddress=%u))) default_pass_scheme = CRYPT Basicaly, I want to make check: if deliveryMode=nolocal > do not deliver to mail=some.mail(a)tld.com (only to mailForwardingAddress) else deliver normally :) Thnx, -- Zeljko Culek IT Department Samurai Digital d.o.o.

[Dovecot] Index issue?
by IT geek 31 10 Dec '13

10 Dec '13

I've just hastily migrated from Dovecot 1.2.9 to 2.2.9 due to a disk crash. When I say hastily, I literally copied the user's mail data files to the new server and then started the Dovecot service. The trouble is, I now have a user who can see all the subfolders of her inbox in Outlook, but not on her iPad. Do I need to re-index her mail folders? The data is there (as seen by Outlook 2013) and is good, but the iPad mail client only sees the top-level folder. Any thoughts? -Mark

[Dovecot] Problem with INDEXes and deleting shared folders
by Achim Gottinger 10 Dec '13

10 Dec '13

Hi, I use dovecot 2.1.7 on debian wheezy. I have a bunch of shared folders whom i configured to store the indexe's under the users mail_location/shared/%%u. I configured acl's for those shared folders in an way that all users should be able to add and delete folders (for example "group=buchhaltung keilrwtsx"). Creating folders works fine but if i try to delete such an folder i get the following error. Dec 10 12:03:41 logon-zor dovecot: imap(ag): Debug: Can't rename 'shared/buchhaltung/Test' to 'Trash/Test': one namespace has index dir and another doesn't Of course there is no dovecot.index file in /home/vmail/buchhaltung/mai/.Test but there is one in /home/ag/vmail/mail/shared/buchhaltung/.Test and in /home/ag/vmail/mail/.Trash. Seems dovecot does not honour the shared namespaces index settings when trying to rename that folder. Is there an fix for this issue in 2.1.7 or would upgrade to 2.2.5 (from debian unstable) help? Thanks in advance Achim Gottinger Here are my namespace mail_location etc. settings: mail_home = /home/vmail/%u mail_location = maildir:/home/vmail/%u/mail:INDEX=/home/vmail/%u/mail:INBOX=/home/vmail/%u/mail/.INBOX mail_uid = 998 mail_gid = 998 first_valid_uid = 998 first_valid_gid = 998 mail_shared_explicit_inbox = yes maildir_very_dirty_syncs = yes namespace { list = children location = maildir:/home/vmail/%%u/mail:INDEX=/home/vmail/%u/mail/shared/%%u:INBOX=/home/vmail/%%u/mail/.INBOX prefix = shared/%%u/ separator = / subscriptions = no type = shared } namespace { inbox = yes location = maildir:/home/vmail/%u/mail:INDEX=/home/vmail/%u/mail:INBOX=/home/vmail/%u/mail/.INBOX prefix = separator = / type = private }

[Dovecot] Panic: file acl-cache.c

Hello, our dovecot mailservice was running smoothly for a long time. Since last week we get the following error message when connecting from the horde/imp webmailer to the public namespace: Panic: file acl-cache.c: line 294 (acl_cache_update): assertion failed: (obj_cache->my_current_rights != &negative_cache_entry) Dovecot and horde/imp are running on seperate hosts.
