[Dovecot] Some messages appear twice
by Dominik Schulz 28 Jul '11

28 Jul '11

Hi, I'm using Dovecot 1.2.15 on Debian. On some clients, at least KMail, some messages (especially older ones) appear twice in the message list of the client. This is really annoying. Can anyone give me a hint on how to solve this issue? -- Best Regards, Dominik Schulz

[Dovecot] DIsctionnary flat file format for shared mailboxes ?
by Frank Bonnet 28 Jul '11

28 Jul '11

Hello I would be grateful if someone could send an example of a dictionnary flat file used by the shared mailboxes feature, it has very few here so a flat file will be enough I think. Thank you

Hi. I have a quite problem with dovecot and sieve on Debian Squeeze. I'm trying to enable sieve plugin into dovecot, but something is deeply wrong.

[Dovecot] Problem with client login in 1.2.17
by John O'Brien 27 Jul '11

27 Jul '11

Hi, I have been using CentOS 5.5 with Dovecot 1.0.7. My client apps login with TLS/SSL using an postgres database for username and password authentication. I developed a plugin that added an additional IMAP command. I want to eventually migrate to release 2.0 but have decided to make this a two step process. I have started with 1.2.17 as I hope this would be a smaller step along the way. I have installed 1.2.17 from source an installed. Rebuilt my plugin and installed and set about updating the dovecot.conf file. Installing the SSL certificate etc..... I have tested the 1.0.7 configuration previously using a standard IMAP mail client. When I try with 1.2.17 I can't seem to get logged in. ==> /var/log/maillog <== Jul 27 21:48:26 email dovecot: auth(default): client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=imap secured lip=192.168.1.10 rip=202.81.69.135 lport=10143 rport=58641 resp=ADYxNDE0NjI3NDM2AFExcjQwNHVD Jul 27 21:48:26 email dovecot: auth-worker(default): pam(john,202.81.69.135): lookup service=dovecot Jul 27 21:48:26 email dovecot: auth-worker(default): pam(john,202.81.69.135): #1/1 style=1 msg=Password: Jul 27 21:48:28 email dovecot: auth-worker(default): pam(john,202.81.69.135): unknown user Jul 27 21:48:28 email dovecot: auth(default): sql(john,202.81.69.135): query: SELECT password FROM ivms_iphone WHERE username='john' Jul 27 21:48:28 email dovecot: auth(default): client out: OK 1 user=john Jul 27 21:48:28 email dovecot: auth(default): master in: REQUEST 2 28178 1 Jul 27 21:48:28 email dovecot: auth(default): passwd(john,202.81.69.135): lookup Jul 27 21:48:28 email dovecot: auth(default): passwd(john,202.81.69.135): unknown user Jul 27 21:48:28 email dovecot: auth(default): sql(john,202.81.69.135): SELECT home, uid, gid FROM users WHERE username='john' Jul 27 21:48:28 email dovecot: auth(default): master out: USER 2 john home=/var/imap_mail/john uid=50gid=500 Jul 27 21:48:28 email dovecot: IMAP(john): Loading modules from directory: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap/ Jul 27 21:48:28 email dovecot: IMAP(john): Module loaded: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap//lib20_mail_log_plugin.so Jul 27 21:48:28 email dovecot: IMAP(john): Module loaded: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap//change_passwd_plugin.so Jul 27 21:48:28 email dovecot: IMAP(john): Effective uid=500, gid=500, home=/var/imap_mail/john Jul 27 21:48:28 email dovecot: IMAP(john): maildir: data=john Jul 27 21:48:28 email dovecot: IMAP(john): maildir++: root=john, index=, control=, inbox=john Jul 27 21:48:28 email dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<john>, method=PLAIN, rip=202.81.69.135, lip=192.168.1.10, TLS Jul 27 21:48:28 email dovecot: IMAP(john): Namespace : Using permissions from john: mode=0700 gid=-1 ==> /var/log/secure <== Jul 27 21:48:26 email dovecot-auth: pam_unix(dovecot:auth): check pass; user unknown Jul 27 21:48:26 email dovecot-auth: pam_unix(dovecot:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=dovecot ruser=john rhost=202.81.69.135 Jul 27 21:48:26 email dovecot-auth: pam_succeed_if(dovecot:auth): error retrieving information about user john I have the following in the .conf file auth_verbose=yes auth_debug=yes auth_debug_passwords=yes mail_debug=yes verbose_ssl=yes Also note the following differences in behaviour between Dovecot 1.0.7 and 1.2.17 $ telnet new_system_1.2.17 10143 Trying 192.168.1.10...

[Dovecot] sieve, vacation - lda-dupes being ignored?

EVERY time the user checks his mails. I haven't heard any user complaint about this, but perhaps nobody tried this before. I recreated this situation (copy old qpopper message INBOX -> tmpbox -> INBOX) and produced two messages with identical X-UIDL headers, but according to the Wikipedia entry for POP3: Comparison with IMAP Clients that leave mail on servers generally use the UIDL command to get the current association of message-numbers to message identified by its unique identifier. The unique identifier is arbitrary, and might be repeated if the mailbox contains identical messages. This is echoed in RFC1939 (page 11-12) While it is generally preferable for server implementations to store arbitrarily assigned unique-ids in the maildrop, this specification is intended to permit unique-ids to be calculated as a hash of the message. Clients should be able to handle a situation where two identical copies of a message in a maildrop have the same unique-id. So POP3 UIDLs are not guaranteed to be unique, especially if the messages are the same. Perhaps some mail readers are making unwarranted assumptions about the uniqueness of UIDLs: http://www.eggheadcafe.com/software/aspnet/33485042/duplicate-messageiduidl… https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/view.php?id=3599 Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

[Dovecot] phantom new message notification
by Stan Hoeppner 26 Jul '11

26 Jul '11

I've developed a phantom new message notification on a single IMAP folder in Thunderbird. I've deleted the Dovecot index files for this problematic folder, and I've deleted the .msf file in the Tbird profile. Neither of which solved the problem. The only other time I've run into something similar was with CONDSTORE quite a long time ago, but that affected all folders, not just one. Any ideas? -- Stan

[Dovecot] drac plugin "net_ip2addr() failed: Operation not permitted"

25 Jul '11

Hi, I'm trying to get the drac plugin working (again) but I'm stuck with the following message: Restarting IMAP/POP3 mail server: dovecotEDRAC: net_ip2addr() failed: Operation not permitted This is on a Debian Squeeze box, dovecot version 1.2.15-7, drac version 1.12 Looking at the source it should print the IP in the brackets of net_ip2addr. The fact that it's just empty made me think that I may need to set an environment variable. I tried IP="127.0.0.1" in /etc/default/dovecot and as export but to no avail. Any ideas? Thanks, mimo

[Dovecot] passwd not found
by Erik - versatel 25 Jul '11

25 Jul '11

If I use in dovecot.conf passdb passwd-file { args = /etc/dovecot/vhosts/%d/etc/shadow } userdb static { args = uid=virtual gid=virtual home=/var/mail/vhosts/%d/%u allow_all_users=yes } I get an authorisation failure in my mail.log file. If I use passdb passwd-file { args = /etc/dovecot/vhosts/shadow } userdb static { args = uid=virtual gid=virtual home=/var/mail/vhosts/%d/%u allow_all_users=yes } This works !!! (without the %d) in the passdb passwd-file Than the %d/%u is correctly rewritten in the userdb static. PS I have in the passwd-file the username@domain and the username documented for testing. I think there is some problem with the %d (DOMAIN) How can I check if %d is filled ?? And how can i make different authorisationdirs and files per domain.

[Dovecot] Ubuntu package for dovecot 2.0.x from debian package
by Vincent Richomme 23 Jul '11

23 Jul '11

Hi, I am running a server under Ubuntu 11.04(natty) and I would like to install a 2.x version but unfortunately the only package available is 1.2.15. Of course I could compile and install from sources but I would prefer to handle packages because it's a lot simpler and cleaner. After some research I found some debian packages available here : http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/pool/testing-auto/dovecot-2.0/ So my question is would it be possible to recompile the source package to make a ubuntu one ? Or maybe could I install directly the debian package (but I suppose dependencies are not the same ...). If someone has already an experience with that and couls share his experience. Still don't understand why distros don't use dovecot 2.x ? Is it considered still as unstable ? Thanks

[Dovecot] Automatic Client Retrieval of Messages
by qmail＠top-consulting.net 23 Jul '11

23 Jul '11

Are there any mail clients that automatically pull in folder contents even though they don't have a subscription to that folder ? I have defined a namespace with subscriptions=yes, hidden=yes and list=yes. There are no subscriptions files for any of the users yet they are still pulling data from the folders in that namespace. What gives ?

[Dovecot] My status
by Timo Sirainen 23 Jul '11

23 Jul '11

Hello list, In case anyone's wondering why I haven't been replying here much lately: 1. I've been busy working (you know, paid work) on full text search indexing redesign. That change was a bigger job than I realized at first (mainly due to virtual mailboxes), so I've been a bit stressed/frustrated over it. I finally finished it today though, so that's over now: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.1/rev/7b9978eb6f91 I hope to add Antonio's Solr attachment indexing support to it once I'm a bit less busy. I'm in any case also going to add generic attachment indexing so that CLucene backend can also do it. I've also other work left to do for a few more weeks. 2. My new apartment gets too hot (30C) when it gets over about 22C outside, which is almost daily. So my brain melts in the heat and I don't have energy to do much of anything. But I finally yesterday bought an air conditioning machine, which should solve this problem. I don't know why I didn't buy it weeks ago. So .. I'll try to get back to reading and answering mails next week after I've finished some more work and don't feel like I'm lagging behind too much.

[Dovecot] failed creating protocol instance to play queued url
by Ken Mandelberg 22 Jul '11

22 Jul '11

I run thunderbird (both 3.x and 5.x) against dovecot 2.x and frequently see delays "loading message". I admit to having a very large mailbox and running multiple imap clients. I've turned on thunderbird debugging, and at least one pattern I see in the log during the delays (maybe a minute long) is the failed protocol message above. These are no the only delays, but are the ones that catch my eye. The thunderbird debug logs are not time stamped (that I can tell), so its difficult to go back and find the delays from the log. Here is an example of one of the delays.

[Dovecot] Dovecot2 Antispam plugin questions
by Steve Fatula 22 Jul '11

22 Jul '11

Tried to find some doc on this (other than the c code), couldn't, so, asking. I do almost every programming language, except C! When using DSPAM backend with this tool, will the plugin send ONLY the signature and not the entire message to dspam for retraining? Concerned about very large emails. If this is the case, I'd rather do this than use say the mailtrain backend which I presume would send the entire message. Having some permission problems though with the dspam binary since regular users can't execute dspam the way it is currently set up. Any security reason to not allow regular users to run the binary?

[Dovecot] Shared folders and home directories
by Christian Lerrahn 21 Jul '11

21 Jul '11

Hi, I've recently migrated a server from a Qmail/VPOPMail setup to a Postfix/system accounts setup. Everything worked pretty much out of the box after just changing the passdb and userdb to pam and passwd. However, I cannot get my shared folders to work. In the logs I will always see something like Jul 21 07:24:10 mybox dovecot: IMAP(foobar): Namespace 'shared/': Could not lookup home for user bla Jul 21 07:24:11 mybox dovecot: IMAP(foobar): userdb lookup: connect(/var/run/dovecot/auth-master) failed: No such file or directory Now, I don't understand why I need auth-master to find the home directory of user "bla" (who owns the shared folder). However, even if I configure auth-master, only the error messages will go away but I still can't see the shared folders. The configuration (as shown below) worked fine with vpopmail and is just taken from http://wiki.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Shared . What do I have to change to make this work with passwd instead? Do I really need auth-master? If yes, how do I need to set it up to do the job properly?

[Dovecot] %w variable is missing
by Tom Sommer 21 Jul '11

21 Jul '11

Hi, I just noticed that the %w variable is now empty, after upgrading to version 2.0.11? I can still find references to it in the documentation, and in doc/wiki/Variables.txt - but the variable is empty and I can't find any references to it in the sourcecode. Was it overlooked or has it been removed? I'm in need of it :) Thanks. // Tom

[Dovecot] POP3 vs. IMAP Load/Memory usage in Dovecot 1.0.15
by lists＠truthisfreedom.org.uk 21 Jul '11

21 Jul '11

Hi all, We've just provisioned a new cluster of dovecot nodes running Centos and Dovecot 1.0.15 (we needed to match the original configuration, we're upgrading to 1.2 next week!). The nodes are currently equally allocated (50/50 split) to IMAP and POP3, with the intention to move them into a single cluster hosting both services in the next month. All the servers are of identical spec (24 cores, 24G RAM) and are configured to load the indices, control files and maildirs via NFS. We have noticed that the IMAP servers appear to be under much less load and utilising drastically less RAM than the POP3 servers and I'm wondering if there is a reason for this as we have seen some swapping onto disk yet we are only handling 500 concurrent POP3 connections to each server at any given time compared with over 600 IMAP connections. I'm wondering if we've missed a config flag somewhere or (better still!) this issue will go away when we upgrade to 1.2. If anyone can shed any light on this, that would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance, Matt

[Dovecot] dovecot2 on Snow Leopard trouble
by Denis J. Cirulis 20 Jul '11

20 Jul '11

Hello list, I have one task to complete - to install and configure imap server on Mac Mini OS X 10.6.8. I'm not new to dovecot, so the favorite imap server is dovecot. Are there any special settings running dovecot on OS X ? I've compiled dovecot 2.0.13 with mysql5 and openssl via macports. Configured virtual users from mysql and turned on all debug, but when I connect to this server via MUA I'm receiving the message "Mailbox locked. Next try in XX seconds" or something like that. No errors in dovecot.log, clean auth process, correct data (passwords,spool dirs) from mysql. Same configuration works on Linux,FreeBSD and Solaris like a charm. What can be a problem running on OS X ?

[Dovecot] Performance with 200k messages in Maildir
by Vegard Svanberg 20 Jul '11

20 Jul '11

What should I expect performance-wise if I put 200000 messages in a Maildir store and use two or three MUAs (mutt and Thunderbird), on an Athlon dual core 2GHz with SATA drives in software RAID (Linux)? Like; would it be useless/crawling, usable or pretty fast. I imagine MUA startup / first time folder read would be slow, but daily use more or less ok. Thanks to Dovecot's indexing, I imagine I would be better off interfacing Mutt to Maildir via IMAP and Dovecot rather than accessing Maildir/ directly? -- Vegard Svanberg <vegard(a)svanberg.no> [*Takapa@IRC (EFnet)]

[Dovecot] passwd not found
by Erik - versatel 20 Jul '11

If I use in dovecot.conf passdb passwd-file { args = /etc/dovecot/vhosts/%d/etc/shadow } userdb static { args = uid=virtual gid=virtual home=/var/mail/vhosts/%d/%u allow_all_users=yes } I get an authorisation failure in my mail.log file. If I use passdb passwd-file { args = /etc/dovecot/vhosts/shadow } userdb static { args = uid=virtual gid=virtual home=/var/mail/vhosts/%d/%u allow_all_users=yes } This works !!! (without the %d) in the passdb passwd-file Than the %d/%u is correctly rewritten in the userdb static. PS I have in the passwd-file the username@domain and the username documented for testing. I think there is some problem with the %d (DOMAIN) How can I check if %d is filled ?? And how can i make different authorisationdirs and files per domain.

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2, Imap service, client_limit
by Steve Fatula 20 Jul '11

20 Jul '11

I see back in November of last year, a thread about using client_limit in the imap service (not imap-login) that would allow each imap process serve more than one connection. Sounded good, until I tried it! When I did, unlike the OP of that thread, I got: dovecot: imap(submit.user): Fatal: setuid(503(submit.user) from userdb lookup) failed with euid=501(links): Operation not permitted (This binary should probably be called with process user set to 503(submit.user) instead of 501(links)) So, it would appear that this does not work. Still, the thread was posting results of their testing even that showed it worked. Sample message within the thread, read for more: http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2010-November/054893.html I'd love to be able to use a single imap process for more than one connection. Is this still possible, or, not? If so, how? Steve

[Dovecot] Dovecot + Vpopmail quota issues
by qmail＠top-consulting.net 20 Jul '11

20 Jul '11

I can't get dovecot to ignore a certain directory/namespace when calculating quotas. I am running dovecot 1.2.16 with vpopmail configured for quotas. I use the dot (.) as my separator and my user structure is as follows: ../domain.com/user/Maildir for all the user directories I also have for each user: ../domain.com/user/Maildir/Archive which is a symlink to a NFS mounted partition that holds read-only archives In dovecot.conf I have defined them as follows: mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir namespace private { separator = . prefix = ARCHIVE. inbox = no hidden = yes list = yes location = maildir:~/Maildir/Archive } namespace private { separator = . prefix = inbox = yes } This works very well, in as much as I see the Archive namespace and its folders. The problem arises in the fact that Dovecot insists on calculating the 'Archive' namespace/directory storage towards the total storage used. My Quota configuration is as follows: auth default { mechanisms = plain login digest-md5 cram-md5 passdb vpopmail { args = webmail=192.168.1.12 } userdb vpopmail { args = quota_template=quota_rule3=*:backend=%q } ... } plugin { quota = maildir quota_rule = ?:storage=0 quota_rule2 = Archive:ignore quota_rule3 = ARCHIVE:ignore } From what I've read, this is supposed to use the maildirsize file when available or otherwise return no quota. It worked just fine before this new Archive namespace. For a certain user, vpopmail writes the 'maildirsize' file in ../domain.com/user/Maildir/maildirsize and it contains the correct value ( without the /Archive directory ). The problem is that for some reason, something ( I suspect dovecot ) writes a new maildirsize file in ../domain.com/user/Maildir/Archive/maildirsize which also contains the size of Archive. Subsequently, Dovecot adds the two of them up and usually throws me over quota. To test, I have emptied the maildirsize file under Archive and changed its owner to root (perms are 755 ) so that nobody but root can write to it. Dovecot complained right away about it: Jul 19 12:55:21 pop1 dovecot: IMAP(user(a)domain.com): open(/home/vpopmail/domains/B/domain.com/user/Maildir/Archive/maildirsize) failed: Permission denied Despite passing the quota responsibility to vpopmail it seems that Dovecot still tries to update that file. And finally the question... How do I get dovecot to not calculate a quota for that directory/namespace ?

[Dovecot] Problem with zlib plugin and flags
by Jeremy Maryott 19 Jul '11

19 Jul '11

Hi, I'm working on enabling the zlib plugin and compressing most of the mail on my mail server, and I've run into a bit of a problem with doing things as described on the wiki's zlib plugin page (here: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Zlib) I'm using Dovecot 1.2.15 and maildir as a mailbox format on Debian 5. I have a script that implements the steps listed at the bottom of the wiki page. The problem has to do with step 5, which recommends that you add a 'Z' flag to each email that you compress so that you don't compress it again. The problem that I ran into is that when you move an email to another mail folder, this flag appears to go away. As a result, my script has compressed some emails that were already compressed, rendering them unreadable by Dovecot. I've mostly solved that problem, and my compression script now runs 'file' and looks to see if it's gzipped already for each file that's a candidate for compression. I'm not sure this is the best solution (it's definitely slower than just checking the filename), so I'm open to better alternatives. Reading http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/Maildir, I see that Dovecot supports 'non-standard fields' specified after normal flags and a comma. It seems like that might be a better place to put the 'Z' flag, if Dovecot won't retain it when places with the normal flags. I'm unsure how the filename would look if it doesn't currently have any flags, though. Would there just be two commas in a row, followed by my non-standard flag? If I haven't missed or misconfigured anything and what I said above is correct, the wiki should be changed so others don't run into the same problems I have. I'm happy to do so, but I didn't want to make any changes without making sure I was right about what was going on. Thanks, Jeremy

[Dovecot] dovecot 2.0.13 using LDAP and proxying IMAP4 and POP3 to gmail
by Volker Scheuber 18 Jul '11

18 Jul '11

Fellow dovecot users/contributors, I am building a POP3/IMAP4 proxy solution for an enterprise, where users can login with their common username and then they get single sign-on to all kinds of different applications in the backend. Some of these applications are SaaS apps like gmail. For gmail in particular, I want dovecot to solve the following issues for me: 1. be an IMAP4/POP3 proxy in the enterprise, proxying client requests to mail.com. 2. change both username and password from what's coming in from the client to what's being proxied out to gmail. 3. use LDAP for authentication As a prototype, I implemented #1 and #2 using passwd-files and after a few hours of try and error, I got it to work and was able to login with "username" and "password" and was proxied through to gmail with "username(a)gmail.com" and "gmailpassword". Totally awesome. Now I am stuck porting my working prototype from my laptop and passwd-files to my real lab environment and LDAP. I was able to get the authentication to work but that's about it. I can't get dovecot to do the proxying. I searched the mailing list archives and saw other people having similar issues, but that was almost 4 years ago... The most promising thread similar to my requirements and issues was this one: http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2007-September/025740.html but it was never fully answered nor did the suggestion given to that thread help me with my issue (but I did follow them). Here is my current configuration: dovecot -n # 2.0.13: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32.36-0.5-default x86_64 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86_64) auth_debug = yes auth_debug_passwords = yes auth_verbose = yes auth_verbose_passwords = plain disable_plaintext_auth = no mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%n passdb { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext driver = ldap master = yes pass = yes } passdb { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext driver = ldap } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext driver = ldap } My ldap configuration is: cat /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext |grep -v ^##* |grep . hosts = 127.0.0.1:389 dn = cn=user,ou=users,o=config dnpass = password auth_bind = yes auth_bind_userdn = cn=%n,ou=users,o=data ldap_version = 3 base = ou=users,o=data deref = never scope = subtree user_attrs = =home=/var/mail,uidNumber=uid,gidNumber=gid user_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%n)) pass_attrs = mail=user,userPassword=password,uid=proxy,=ssl=any-cert,city=host,description=pass,cn=nologin pass_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%n)) iterate_filter = (objectClass=posixAccount) default_pass_scheme = CRYPT When connecting to dovecot through an IMAP client (evolution in my case) the dovecot log shows: Jul 16 13:32:17 linux-1hen dovecot: auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/auth Jul 16 13:32:17 linux-1hen dovecot: auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=26601) Jul 16 13:32:17 linux-1hen dovecot: auth: Debug: client in: AUTH1PLAINservice=imapsecuredlip=137.65.156.25rip=164.99.195.4lport=993rport=49203resp=AGFhYmVsbABOMHYzbGwxMjM0NTY= Jul 16 13:32:17 linux-1hen dovecot: auth: Debug: client out: OK1user=aabell Jul 16 13:32:17 linux-1hen dovecot: auth: Debug: master in: REQUEST3762290689266011e9ff0815dea78591a5437731034c14aa Jul 16 13:32:17 linux-1hen dovecot: auth: Debug: ldap(aabell,164.99.195.4): user search: base=ou=users,o=data scope=subtree filter=(&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=aabell)) fields=uidNumber,gidNumber Jul 16 13:32:17 linux-1hen dovecot: auth: Debug: ldap(aabell,164.99.195.4): result: gidNumber(gid)=1001 uidNumber(uid)=1001 Jul 16 13:32:17 linux-1hen dovecot: auth: Debug: master out: USER3762290689aabellgid=1001uid=1001home=/var/mail Jul 16 13:32:17 linux-1hen dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<aabell>, method=PLAIN, rip=164.99.195.4, lip=137.65.156.25, mpid=26604, TLS It doesn't even seem to be recognizing the extra fields I defined in pass_attrs.

[Dovecot] ACL/shared-folder and Thunderbird
by Christian Roessner 17 Jul '11

17 Jul '11

Hi, I still have some problems with thunderbird and Dovecot. I added ACL/shared-folders to dovecot. While everything is working perfectly under Apple Mail and roundcube, thunderbird behaves very strange. What I did: 1. Step I have three mail accounts set up in thunderbird. In the second and third account I managed IMAL-ACLs on the INBOXes, with following flags: eilrwtsd 2. Step At the first account, I chose IMAP subscriptions and I added both INBOXes (shared/.../INBOX) 3. Step Accounts were shown under shared. The folder shared and one level under shared was wriiten in italic. The INBOXes were shown as regular. 4. Step Clicking on each INBOX showed the mails. I chose properties and selected to compress each folder, if it shows more than 100 mails. 5. Step Closing Thunderbird and restarting it. Now thunderbird shows error notifications that it could noct find a mailbox named shared/shared and that mailboxes shared/system(a)service.intern and shared/de1001(a)service.intern would not exist. The folders shared and the level beyond now is shown as regular folder. I still can see the mails form the INBOXes. But each time I reopen Thunderbird, I get the same error messages. This is, what dovecot is logging: Jul 17 14:38:51 mx0 dovecot: auth: ldap(shared(a)roessner-net.de): unknown user Jul 17 14:38:51 mx0 dovecot: imap(de10000(a)service.intern): Error: Couldn't create namespace 'shared/' for user shared: userdb didn't return a home directory, but plugin setting quota used it (%h): dict:User quota::file:%h/mdbox/dovecot-quota Jul 17 14:40:51 mx0 dovecot: imap(de10000(a)service.intern): Error: Couldn't create namespace 'shared/' for user shared: userdb didn't return a home directory, but plugin setting quota used it (%h): dict:User quota::file:%h/mdbox/dovecot-quota Jul 17 14:42:49 mx0 dovecot: imap(de10000(a)service.intern): Error: Couldn't create namespace 'shared/' for user shared: userdb didn't return a home directory, but plugin setting quota used it (%h): dict:User quota::file:%h/mdbox/dovecot-quota doveadm config -n # 2.0.13: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-33-generic-pae i686 Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS auth_cache_size = 10 M auth_default_realm = roessner-net.de auth_master_user_separator = * auth_mechanisms = plain login digest-md5 cram-md5 ntlm auth_realms = roessner-net.de auth_verbose = yes lda_mailbox_autocreate = yes lda_mailbox_autosubscribe = yes mail_access_groups = vmail mail_gid = vmail mail_location = mdbox:~/mdbox mail_plugins = quota mail_privileged_group = mail mail_uid = vmail managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = separator = / } namespace { list = children location = mdbox:%%h/mdbox:INDEX=~/mdbox/shared/%%u prefix = shared/%%u/ separator = / subscriptions = no type = shared } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/master-users driver = passwd-file master = yes pass = yes } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext driver = ldap } plugin { acl = vfile acl_shared_dict = file:/var/mail/virtual/shared-mailboxes quota = dict:User quota::file:%h/mdbox/dovecot-quota quota_rule = *:storage=300M:messages=20000 quota_warning = storage=95%% quota-warning 95 %u quota_warning2 = storage=80%% quota-warning 80 %u recipient_delimiter = + sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve sieve_extensions = -reject } postmaster_address = postmaster(a)mx0.roessner-net.de protocols = imap pop3 sieve lmtp service auth-worker { unix_listener auth-worker { user = vmail } user = vmail } service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { group = vmail mode = 0660 } user = vmail } service imap-login { service_count = 0 vsz_limit = 64 M } service lmtp { inet_listener lmtp { address = ::1 port = 24 } } service managesieve-login { service_count = 0 } service quota-warning { executable = script /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh unix_listener quota-warning { user = vmail } user = dovecot } ssl_cert = </ca/mail.roessner-net.de/newcert.pem ssl_key = </ca/mail.roessner-net.de/newkey.pem userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext driver = ldap } verbose_proctitle = yes protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = quota sieve } protocol lda { mail_plugins = quota sieve acl } protocol imap { imap_client_workarounds = tb-extra-mailbox-sep mail_max_userip_connections = 50 mail_plugins = quota imap_quota acl imap_acl } Sorry to bother you once again with dovecot/thunderbird questions.

[Dovecot] dovecot init script
by Brandon Lamb 17 Jul '11

17 Jul '11

Anyone have a working startup script for ubuntu 11.04? Ive used debian forever, but apparently /var/run is now a tmpfs, so there is no dovecot directory on a reboot. Its all brand new to me so I dont know if there is a standard way to have it created on boot (obviously other system scripts are creating directories). I dont even know if this is something that goes in an init.d script or configured elsewhere. I came across something that mentioned systemd and /etc/tmpfiles.d (or something like that) which didnt seem to do anything. Anyway, any help or a point in the right direction would be awesome =D Thanks! Brandon

Hi Timo and List, The Dovecot 2.0.10 changelog includes: * LMTP: For user+detail@domain deliveries, the +detail is again written to Delivered-To: header. I have recipient_delimiter = + set, lmtp_save_to_detail_mailbox=yes is working, however Dovecot 2.0.12 LMTP processes are not adding these headers to messages on delivery. Are there other settings that may potentially conflict with this feature?

[Dovecot] ImapTest and QRESYNC testing
by Norman Maurer 15 Jul '11

15 Jul '11

Hi there, I'm currently working on adding QRESYNC support for james.apache.org/imap (which is a JAVA - based imapserver). For testing I'm currently using ImapTest but I'm currently not really sure it really reflect the RFC. Here are the "problems" I see: * It expect to have the UID param in the FETCH Response if QRESYNC was enabled (I was not able to spot the section were it is stated in the rfc) * EXPUNGE command seems to expect EXPUNGE Responses if QRESYNC was enabled, but from the RFC I think VANISHED is valid also. It even seems to fail when testing again dovecot.. So how much can I trust it when testing QRESYNC ? Thanks, Norman Ps: I'm not good a C at all, so its hard for me to provide patches ;)

[Dovecot] Backup namespace
by qmail＠top-consulting.net 15 Jul '11

15 Jul '11

I use dovecot 1.2.16 and I use . (dot) as the hierarchy separator. My user structure is like so: username/Maildir/.Folder1 username/Maildir/.Folder1.Subfolder The Inbox is right under: username/Maildir/cur & username/Maildir/new My namespace definition for the regular mail is: namespace private { separator = . prefix = inbox = yes } In a separate directory, nfs mounted, I also hold full daily backups of each users entire Maildir. It has the following structure: /archive/username/.14.07.2011/.Folder1 /archive/username/.14.07.2011/.Folder1.Subfolder /archive/username/.15.07.2011/.Folder1 /archive/username/.15.07.2011/.Folder1.Subfolder What I'm trying to do is to make the Backups available to each user in their IMAP. I was thinking of symlinking like this: username/Maildir/Backups --> /archive/username/ Would that work ? What should my namespace look like for this situation ? Is there a better way to do this ?

[Dovecot] authentication problems with pam_mkhomedir
by Defenestrate 15 Jul '11

15 Jul '11

Hi! I'm struggling with pam_mkhomedir. Accounts are stored in LDAP (CentOS Directory Server AKA 389 Directory Server). I am not pre-creating user home directories, and would like to use the pam_mkhomedir module to create the directories on the fly, when a user is authenticated via pop3s. pam_mkhomedir is working for interactive (e.g. SSH logins), but I don't want to require users to login interactively just so their home directory is created. Dovecot version: 1.0.7 dovecot -n output: protocols: pop3s >ssl_cert_file: /etc/pki/tls/certs/mail.ourdomain.tld.pem >ssl_key_file: /etc/pki/tls/private/mail.ourdomain.tld.pem >login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login >login_executable: /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login >mail_privileged_group: mail >mail_location: mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u >mail_executable: /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3 >mail_plugin_dir: /usr/lib64/dovecot/pop3 >pop3_client_workarounds: oe-ns-eoh, outlook-no-nuls >auth default: > verbose: yes > debug: yes > passdb: > driver: pam > args: session=yes dovecot > userdb: > driver: ldap > args: /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf /etc/pam.d/dovecot: authsufficientpam_ldap.so >authrequiredpam_deny.so > > >accountsufficientpam_ldap.so >accountrequiredpam_deny.so > > >passwordsufficientpam_ldap.so use_authtok >password requiredpam_deny.so > > >sessionoptionalpam_ldap.so >sessionrequiredpam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel umask=0022 > >With the pam_mkhomedir.so line, I see the following in maillog: Jul 14 16:14:26 mail dovecot: auth(default): client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=POP3 secured lip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx rip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx resp=<hidden> Jul 14 16:14:26 mail dovecot: auth(default): client out: CONT 1 Jul 14 16:14:26 mail dovecot: auth(default): client in: CONT<hidden> Jul 14 16:14:26 mail dovecot: auth(default): pam(joe.schmoe,xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx): lookup service=dovecot Jul 14 16:14:26 mail dovecot: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=25209 Jul 14 16:14:26 mail dovecot: auth(default): pam(joe.schmoe,xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx): pam_open_session() failed: Permission denied Jul 14 16:14:28 mail dovecot: auth(default): client out: FAIL 1 user=joe.schmoe Jul 14 16:14:28 mail dovecot: auth(default): client in: AUTH 2 PLAIN service=POP3 secured lip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx rip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx resp=<hidden> With the pam_mkhomedir.so line commented out: Jul 14 16:15:27 mail dovecot: auth(default): client out: CONT 1 Jul 14 16:15:27 mail dovecot: auth(default): client in: CONT<hidden> Jul 14 16:15:27 mail dovecot: auth(default): pam(joe.schmoe,xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx): lookup service=dovecot Jul 14 16:15:27 mail dovecot: auth(default): client out: OK 1 user=joe.schmoe Jul 14 16:15:27 mail dovecot: auth(default): master in: REQUEST 1 25286 1 Jul 14 16:15:27 mail dovecot: auth(default): ldap(joe.schmoe,xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx): user search: base=ou=People, dc=ourdomain, dc=tld scope=subtree filter=(&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=joe.schmoe)) fields=homeDirectory,uidNumber,gidNumber Jul 14 16:15:27 mail dovecot: auth(default): master out: USER 1 joe.schmoe home=/home/joe.schmoe uid=1057 gid=1000 Jul 14 16:15:27 mail dovecot: POP3(joe.schmoe): mkdir_parents(/home/joe.schmoe/mail) failed: Permission denied Jul 14 16:15:27 mail dovecot: POP3(joe.schmoe): Failed to create storage with data: mbox:/home/joe.schmoe/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/joe.schmoe Jul 14 16:15:27 mail dovecot: child 25292 (pop3) returned error 89 Jul 14 16:15:27 mail dovecot: pop3-login: Login: user=<joe.schmoe>, method=PLAIN, rip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, lip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, TLS Jul 14 16:19:05 mail dovecot: auth(default): client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=POP3 secured lip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx rip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx resp=<hidden> Any Suggestions?
