[Dovecot] limiting number of login attempts from same ip
by Jürgen Obermann 16 Jun '11

16 Jun '11

Hello, is it possible to limit the number of pop3 (or imap) login attempts from one IP with dovecot to stop attackers? We recently had an attack from one IP-address lasting 50 minutes that tried 50000 pop3-logins with guessed users and passwords. I know about Fail2Ban but really would prefer an easy to configure solution inside of dovecot. Dovecot has this anvil daemon, can it be used for that purpose? We use dovcot version 2.0.12 under Solaris 10, the pop3-login part of the configuration looking like that: service pop3-login { chroot = login client_limit = 0 drop_priv_before_exec = no executable = pop3-login extra_groups = group = idle_kill = 0 inet_listener pop3 { address = port = 110 ssl = no } inet_listener pop3s { address = port = 995 ssl = yes } privileged_group = process_limit = 0 process_min_avail = 0 protocol = pop3 service_count = 1 type = login user = $default_login_user vsz_limit = 64 M } Thanks, Jürgen -- Hochschulrechenzentrum der | Mail: Juergen.Obermann(a)hrz.uni-giessen.de Justus-Liebig-Universitaet | WWW: http://www.uni-giessen.de/obermann/ Heinrich-Buff-Ring 44 | Tel: 0641-99-13054 (0641-99-13001) D-35392 Giessen, Germany | Fax: 0641-99-13009

[Dovecot] dovecot-managesieve

16 Jun '11

Hi all, I have to implement a Out of Office Tool on our dovecot IMAP Server. Recently I updated dovecot-1.0.7-7.el5 to dovecot-1.1.20-1_98.el5 on our CentOS release 5.6 (Final) box via "yum update" # cat /etc/yum.conf .... [atrpms] name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - ATrpms baseurl=http://dl.atrpms.net/el$releasever-$basearch/atrpms/stable gpgkey=http://ATrpms.net/RPM-GPG-KEY.atrpms gpgcheck=1 # .... After it, I installed dovecot-managesieve-0.11.12-0_5.1.el5 via yum install. These are my sieve settings in /etc/dovecot.conf: ....... version_ignore=yes # Log file to use for error messages, instead of sending them to syslog. # /dev/stderr can be used to log into stderr. log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log # Protocols we want to be serving: imap imaps pop3 pop3s managesieve # If you only want to use dovecot-auth, you can set this to "none". #protocols = imap imaps pop3 pop3s protocols = imaps pop3s pop3 managesieve mail_debug=yes protocol managesieve { # Specify an alternative address:port the daemon must listen on # (default: *:2000) #listen = localhost:2000 managesieve_logout_format = bytes ( in=%i : out=%o ) # Duplicated from plugin section sieve=~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_storage=~/sieve } plugin { # Settings for the Sieve plugin sieve=~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir=~/sieve } ...... After restarting dovecot, I'm getting the following errors in dovecot.log: dovecot: Jun 10 08:50:14 Info: dovecot v1.1.20 starting up (core dumps disabled) dovecot: Jun 10 08:50:16 Error: login: Login request missing a file descriptor dovecot: Jun 10 08:50:16 Error: Temporary failure in creating login processes, slowing down for now dovecot: Jun 10 08:50:16 Warning: managesieve-login: managesieve-login: capability string is empty. dovecot: Jun 10 08:50:16 Error: login: Login request missing a file descriptor dovecot: Jun 10 08:50:16 Warning: managesieve-login: managesieve-login: capability string is empty. dovecot: Jun 10 08:50:16 Error: login: Login request missing a file descriptor dovecot: Jun 10 08:50:16 Warning: managesieve-login: managesieve-login: capability string is empty. dovecot: Jun 10 08:50:16 Info: Created login processes successfully, unstalling dovecot: Jun 10 08:50:17 Error: login: Login request missing a file descriptor dovecot: Jun 10 08:50:17 Error: Temporary failure in creating login processes, slowing down for now Don't know, whats going on ..... next problem.

[Dovecot] URLAUTH-patch, BSD specific?
by Peter Mogensen 15 Jun '11

15 Jun '11

Hi, I notice that the Apple patched branch of Dovecot 2.0 with URLAUTH fails to compile on Linux. The file src/plugins/urlauth/urlauth-keys.c uses open(2) with O_EXLOCK, which to my knowledge is BSD specific. Is that a known problem? /Peter

[Dovecot] ZFS Filesystem Quota under Solaris 10 and Sparc
by Jürgen Obermann 15 Jun '11

15 Jun '11

Hallo. Filesystem quotas used to work well under Solaris 9 and ufs filesystems on the Sparc platform even with two rules for the folders in the users home directories /home/group/user and the separate filesystem /var/mail holding the inboxes: plugin { quota = fs:Home-Verzeichnis:noenforcing quota2 = fs:INBOX:noenforcing:mount=/var/mail } Since we upgraded last year to Solaris 10 with zfs filesystems on our Sparc server still using a similar setup with separate filesystems for home directories and inboxes we have no working quota plugin anymore. Currently we use dovecot 2.0.13. Are there any plans or whishes to get the filesystem quota code working again under zfs and Solaris? Best whishes, Jürgen -- Hochschulrechenzentrum der | Mail: Juergen.Obermann(a)hrz.uni-giessen.de Justus-Liebig-Universitaet | WWW: http://www.uni-giessen.de/obermann/ Heinrich-Buff-Ring 44 | Tel: 0641-99-13054 (0641-99-13001) D-35392 Giessen, Germany | Fax: 0641-99-13009

[Dovecot] Per-user "Seen" flags on public folder
by Torsten Harenberg 15 Jun '11

15 Jun '11

Dear all, sorry to bother the list again, I have a small configuration issue again with public (shared) folders. These folders should have per-user Seen flags, so I configured: namespace { type = public separator = . prefix = public. location = maildir:/var/mail/public:INDEX=%u/public subscriptions = no list = children } But this only seems to work with my account (presumably as I was the first one who touched the folder), all other users cannot change the "Seen" flags My home dir is set to /home/mail/harenber and there is a: mail# ls -l total 1162 -rwxrwxrwx 1 10001 wheel 4016 Jun 9 13:27 dovecot.index -rwxrwxrwx 1 10001 wheel 1125376 Jun 14 11:26 dovecot.index.cache -rwxrwxrwx 1 10001 wheel 2140 Jun 9 13:40 dovecot.index.log -rwxrwxrwx 1 10044 wheel 33792 Jun 9 13:28 dovecot.index.log.2 mail# pwd /home/mail/harenber/harenber/public/.fb8 (don't know why my username appears twice). which looks the same on some other account: mail# ls -l total 1380 -rw-rw-rw- 1 10002 wheel 4016 Jun 9 19:40 dovecot.index -rw-rw-rw- 1 10002 wheel 1364992 Jun 10 10:54 dovecot.index.cache -rwxrwxrwx 1 10114 wheel 16072 Jun 10 10:54 dovecot.index.log mail# pwd /home/mail/sandhoff/sandhoff/public/.fb8 The public folder looks like this: mail# pwd /var/mail/public/.fb8 mail# ls -l total 52 drwxrwxrwx 2 root wheel 512 Jun 9 13:05 cur -rwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 54 Jun 9 13:11 dovecot-acl -rwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 97 Jun 9 13:05 dovecot-keywords -rw-rw-rw- 1 10001 wheel 18513 Jun 9 13:27 dovecot-uidlist drwxrwxrwx 2 root wheel 23552 Jun 9 13:05 new -rwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 0 Jun 9 13:05 subscriptions drwxrwxrwx 2 root wheel 512 Jun 9 13:05 tmp Does anybody see what I did (again) wrong?

[Dovecot] doveadm who: Please Headline to STDout, not to STDERR
by Denny Schierz 15 Jun '11

15 Jun '11

hi, I've created a small script to get a sum from the users and sessions (table username and table "#"), but it is annoying that the headline "username # proto (pids) (ips)" goes to STDERR, but the normal output to STDOUT. It would be nice, if both goes to the same STD :-) cu denny

[Dovecot] Timeout during APPEND
by martin f krafft 14 Jun '11

14 Jun '11

Dear list, I am running dovecot 1.2.15 on a Debian server. One user reports continuous problems synchronising her mailbox via IMAP (offlineimap, via SSH tunnel or SSL socket). It seems that she has a large, locally-created message, but the uplink bandwidth seems to be not enough to push it before dovecot times out the APPEND command. The error/exception happens inside offlineimap's Python imaplib2.py file: APPEND => no response after 30.0 secs I do not know the IMAP protocol all that well, but it seems to me like this is broken somewhere. Could you please help me figure out the problem? -- martin | http://madduck.net/ | http://two.sentenc.es/ "man sagt nicht 'nichts!', man sagt dafür 'jenseits' oder 'gott'." - friedrich nietzsche spamtraps: madduck.bogus(a)madduck.net

[Dovecot] SSL comunication problems with client side.
by Denis Iskandarov 14 Jun '11

14 Jun '11

I can get messages without SSL with no problems. but i need to setup server accept only SSL secured connections. I think my configuration is very proper, but cant find "obvious" problem. Postfix 2.3.3 + dovecot 2.0.13-1_129.el5 + PostfixAdmin 2.3.3 I made own CA. configured postfix and dovecot with same cert key ca. Same public cert i gave for client just converted it to PKCS#12. I cant undestand valid and invalid certs strings in long, they look same. You can check logs and config bellow. Also some other questions regarding SSL: 1. How to make client MUA (thunderbird) automatically retrieve certificate ? My thunderbird cant do it by itself so i'm importing mail cert by myself. 2. If i want to setup Roundcube/Squirrelmail webmail clients with TLS support (https) i have to provide them with same certificates as dovecot and postfix have. Or in this case i can use whatever certificate dedicated for with "virtualhost"? dovecot-deliver.log: Jun 13 13:26:42 imap-login: Info: Invalid certificate: unable to get certificate CRL: /C=GE/ST=Tbilisi/O=Caucasus Digital Network/OU=Mail Server/CN=mx.office.dev/emailAddress=hostmaster(a)office.dev Jun 13 13:26:42 imap-login: Info: Invalid certificate: unable to get certificate CRL: /C=GE/ST=Tbilisi/L=Tbilisi/O=Caucasus Digital Network/OU=Caucasus Digital Network/CN=Caucasus Digital Network/emailAddress=hostmaster(a)office.dev Jun 13 13:26:42 imap-login: Info: Valid certificate: /C=GE/ST=Tbilisi/L=Tbilisi/O=Caucasus Digital Network/OU=Caucasus Digital Network/CN=Caucasus Digital Network/emailAddress=hostmaster(a)office.dev Jun 13 13:26:42 imap-login: Info: Valid certificate: /C=GE/ST=Tbilisi/O=Caucasus Digital Network/OU=Mail Server/CN=mx.office.dev/emailAddress=hostmaster(a)office.dev Jun 13 13:26:42 auth: Info: PLAIN(?,192.168.0.11): Client didn't present valid SSL certificate Jun 13 13:26:42 auth: Info: LOGIN(?,192.168.0.11): Client didn't present valid SSL certificate Jun 13 13:26:42 auth: Info: PLAIN(?,192.168.0.11): Client didn't present valid SSL certificate Jun 13 13:26:42 imap-login: Info: Disconnected (client sent an invalid cert): method=PLAIN, rip=192.168.0.11, lip=192.168.0.31, TLS maillog.

[Dovecot] Sieve question
by Dhaval Patel 14 Jun '11

14 Jun '11

I have successfully setup Postfix -> Dovecot with virtual users and spam filtering with spamassassin. Now the last remaining part is for the user defined rules. Let me describe my environment and what I am trying to achieve. I have Postfix setup to call spamc and deliver to Dovecot according to the master.cf line below. -------------------------------------------------------------- dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/bin/spamc -u vmail -e /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -d ${recipient} -------------------------------------------------------------- The emails get checked by Spamassassin and are delivered to the users's mailbox (/home/vmail/username). I use an actual username (dhav) and not email address (dhaval(a)example.com) Things are working fine with that. >From reading http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve I see that Sieve can do global and user specified filtering. So I am planning to put the following rule into the global script so spammy emails go to the user's INBOX.spam folder. -------------------------------------------------------------- require "fileinto"; if header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" "YES" { fileinto "spam"; } -------------------------------------------------------------- My first question is, where is this global script? Do I configure the "sieve_global_dir = /etc/dovecot/sieve/"? What about he filename? Most users will not need any additional rules. There are some users that do and I am having a difficult time figuring out how it would be setup. My second question is the following. Is there a way in the global script to check if there is a file called /etc/dovecot/sieve/username or /home/vmail/username/personal_sieve_script and include it? I was using maildrop before this and procmail before that so I apologies for sounding stupid if this is not how Sieve scripts work. I am by no means tied the methods I describe above. If anyone knows of a better way to achieve what I am trying to do, I would appreciate if you let me know of it. Thanks, Dhaval

Hello everybody, I have some basic questions: 1. how can I configure the auto-empty trash plugin for all users after 3 or 4 days (This is very important, regular users do not clean their trash, or are using blackberry and do not have an option to do it or simply, do not care about it) 2. difference between version 1.2.17 and latest 2 version of Dovecot, have the version 2 an automatic option for the trash thing? 3. me as a basic skilled user, how can I made the upgrade to version 2 without major risks, I mean I do not want to leave everybody on my server without mail. I am a novice in all of this stuff, so please excuse me if I am making dumb questions. Thanks in advance for your help.

[Dovecot] Webmail project : to cache or not to cache emails
by Vincent Richomme 13 Jun '11

13 Jun '11

Hi, I plan to develop a new web service where one of its module is a webmail and I am thinking about some implementation details. From a interface point of view I wanted to adopt the same logic a outlook(desktop) or yahoo webmail and not split emails into pages. I mean I just want a single datatable view where user can scroll to see his old messages and data are updated only when user release the vertical scrollbar. When I look at current webmail (roundcube for instance) I can see that a cache is used to stored emails headers and I was wondering if it was really necessary ? Once a user has passed the login process I would like to retrieve only the emails that will be displayed (actually a bit more, I am thinking of 150) but I am wondering if it's a good idea to not use a cache for headers. For instance if I have thousands of users on the same machine, will it support it ? Will it be fast enough ? Of course I will try by myself the different options but would be curious to have some opinions. Thanks

[Dovecot] Explain about (mail_get_first_header(mail, "From", &header)
by Alex Baule 13 Jun '11

13 Jun '11

Hi Timo... Inside my plugin, i use the (mail_get_first_header(mail, "From", &header) function, to get the email From to put in some Blacklist.

Using the function above, i get the Second "From", but my MTA (exim) look in to The First From, in the First Line, in that way, my blacklist don't work, because the sender to be blocked is different from the From looked by dovecot.

[Dovecot] Dovecot + qmail-ldap
by Aydın Demirel 13 Jun '11

13 Jun '11

Hi; I installed latest dovecot version (2.0.13) and qmail pathed with qmail-ldap on our systems. We want to use auth_dovecot binary authentication for dovecot. My dovecot config is following: auth_debug = yes auth_debug_passwords = yes auth_verbose = yes base_dir = /var/run/dovecot disable_plaintext_auth = no first_valid_gid = 100 first_valid_uid = 100 last_valid_gid = 65000 last_valid_uid = 65000 listen = * mail_debug = yes mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir mmap_disable = yes protocols = imap pop3 service auth { executable = /opt/surmail/smtp/bin/auth_dovecot ./Maildir unix_listener auth-userdb { group = qmail user = root } } service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 143 } } service pop3-login { inet_listener pop3 { port = 110 } } ssl = no verbose_proctitle = yes But, unfortunately I can not connect port 110 via telnet and i'm getting following error: Jun 13 17:11:43 sms dovecot: master: Error: service(auth): child 31580 returned error 111 Jun 13 17:11:43 sms dovecot: master: Error: service(auth): command startup failed, throttling What can be the problem?

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.0+LMTP: Legal MAIL FROM rejected?
by Bernhard Schmidt 13 Jun '11

13 Jun '11

Hi, I run Dovecot 2.0.13 fed by Postfix over LMTP. Today it rejected one mail Postfix and Amavis accepted, generating a bounce. It was just a spammail, but I think the sender address is legal according to RFC5321 and should be accepted. I don't like generating bounces, email should be either rejected by postfix/pre-queue-amavis or delivered. Jun 6 12:32:47 mail postfix/qmgr[840]: 991FC240DB: from=<admin <admin(a)kl38000.com>, size=8427, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Jun 6 12:32:47 mail amavis[27046]: (27046-06) FWD via SMTP: <"admin <admin"@kl38000.com> -> <user(a)domain.com>,BODY=7BIT 250 2.0.0 Ok, id=27046-06, from MTA([127.0.0.1]:10025): 250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as 991FC240DB Jun 6 12:32:47 mail postfix/lmtp[4710]: 991FC240DB: to=<user(a)vmail.domain.com>, orig_to=<user(a)domain.com>, relay=pop3.domain.com[::1]:24, delay=0.24, delays=0.09/0.11/0.03/0.01, dsn=5.5.4, status=bounced (host pop3.domain.com[::1] said: 501 5.5.4 Invalid parameters (in reply to MAIL FROM command)) It looks like dovecot/lmtp does not accept an address with quoted localpart that contains a space mail from:<"admin admin"@kl38000.com> 501 5.5.4 Invalid parameters mail from:<"adminadmin"@kl38000.com> 250 2.1.0 OK mail from:<"admin<admin"@kl38000.com> 250 2.1.0 OK Bernhard

[Dovecot] Regarding Digest-MD5 auth
by kenja heramba 13 Jun '11

13 Jun '11

Hi, I am writing a Pop3Client. I use dovecot server as POP3 server in linux and hMailServer in windows. I was just testing digest-md5 auth with dovecot server. I had an observation. After server side verification, server sends a verification code to client. If this fails, how can client send the negative response or does it not exist? When I see packet capture, dovecot server sends +OK Logged in for anything client sends. I may be wrong. Please let me know your thoughts Regards, Heramba

[Dovecot] sqlite quota dict
by Nikita Koshikov 13 Jun '11

13 Jun '11

Hello Timo, and list followers, Sqlite supports good feature like mysql 'ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE' - it calls REPLACE/INSERT OR REPLACE This clause can be added to INSERT query, like: INSERT OR REPLACE INTO table VALUES() REPLACE INTO table VALUES() // alias to previous one Also this can be done during CREATE TABLE syntax, like so: CREATE TABLE quota ( username text not null, bytes integer not null default 0, messages integer not null default 0, primary key (username) ON CONFLICT REPLACE ); So the examples will work: INSERT INTO quota (bytes,username) VALUES ('112497180','foo(a)spam.dom'); INSERT INTO quota (bytes,username) VALUES ('112497181','foo(a)spam.dom'); SELECT * FROM quota; foo(a)spam.dom|112497181|0 But 1 thing to note - if we updating not all fields and column has NOT NULL DEFAULT value, then DEFAULT value will alter current one: INSERT INTO quota (bytes,username) VALUES ('112497180','foo(a)spam.dom'); INSERT INTO quota (messages,username) VALUES ('1743','foo(a)spam.dom'); SELECT * FROM quota; foo(a)spam.dom|0|1743 This can be easily bypassed if INSERT will be: INSERT INTO quota (bytes,messages,username) VALUES ('112497180','1743','foo(a)spam.dom'); So if dovecot will INSERT values to sql dict in this manner, sqlite can be used for storing quota data.

[Dovecot] virtual users with postfix+dovecot plugin usage question
by Denis Iskandarov 13 Jun '11

13 Jun '11

I'm interested in if i should enable plugins only in LDA as i understood that with postfix dovecot works only like LDA. For example i wanna use autocreate plugin for imap user i have enabled in both IMAP and LDA sections. Is it right or i had to configure it only in LDA section ? Than how quota and imap_quota work in imap section ? For what is it there if lda controls user maildirs ? Dovecot 2.0.13 protocol lda { mail_plugins = quota autocreate } protocol imap { imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail mail_plugins = quota imap_quota autocreate } protocol pop3 { mail_plugins = quota pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh }

[Dovecot] Question about Dovecot-ACLs
by Jan Phillip Greimann 13 Jun '11

13 Jun '11

Hi there, i try to create an php-script to control acl's for public folders without file-manipulation. For this i use imap_setacl() like this example: imap_setacl($mbox,"INBOX/test", "email(a)domain.tld", "lrwstipekxa"); The acl-file looks so: ~:> cat dovecot-acl user=email(a)domain.tld akxeilprwts But i have a problem with the follow function: imap_setacl($mbox,"INBOX/test", "email(a)domain.tld", ""); This command only delete the rights from the email, not the whole entry in my dovecot-acl file. Now my acl-file looks like this: ~:> cat dovecot-acl user=email(a)domain.tld Did this affect dovecot by any way? Thanks, Jan

[Dovecot] mmap in GFS2 on rhel 6.1
by Aliet Santiesteban Sifontes 13 Jun '11

13 Jun '11

Hello list, we continue our tests using Dovecot on a RHEL 6.1 Cluster Backend with GFS2, also we are using dovecot as a Director for user node persistence, everything was ok until we started stress testing the solution with imaptest, we had many deadlocks, cluster filesystems corruptions and hangs, specially in index filesystem, we have configured the backend as if they were on a NFS like setup but this seems not to work at least on GFS2 on rhel 6.1. We have a two node cluster sharing two GFS2 filesystem - Index GFS2 filesystem to store users indexes - Mailbox data on a GFS2 filesystem The specific configs for NFS or cluster filesystem we used: mmap_disable = yes mail_fsync = always mail_nfs_storage = yes mail_nfs_index = yes fsync_disable=no lock_method = fcntl mail location : mail_location = mdbox:/var/vmail/%d/%3n/%n/mdbox:INDEX=/var/indexes/%d/%3n/%n But this seems not to work for GFS2 even doing user node persistence, maillog is plagged of errors and GFS2 hangs on stress testing with imaptest, many corrupted index for example, transaction logs etc, at this point we have many questions, first mmap... In Redhat GFS2 docs we read: Gold rules for performance: An inode is used in a read only fashion across all nodes An inode is written or modified from a single node only. We have succesfull archived this using dovecot director Now, for mmap rh says: ... If you mmap() a file on GFS2 with a read/write mapping, but only read from it, this only counts as a read. On GFS though, it counts as a write, so GFS2 is much more scalable with mmap() I/O... But in our config we are using mmap_disable=yes, do we have to use mmap_disable=no with GFS2??? Also, how dovecot manage the cache flush on GFS2 filesystem??? Why, if we are doing user node persistence, dovecot indexes gets corrupted??? What lock method do we have to use?? How fsync should be used?? We know we have many questions, but this is really a very complex stuff and we are going to appreciate any help you can give us. Thank you all for a great work, specially Timo... best regards

[Dovecot] Unable to compile --with-mysql on Solaris
by Jesse Reynolds 13 Jun '11

13 Jun '11

Hello I'm hoping someone can give me a pointer as to how to compile Dovecot with MySQL support on Solaris. I am trying to compile dovecot 2.0.13 (also tried 2.0.9) on Solaris (OpenSolaris 2009-06, snv_111b) with the OpenSolaris provided MySQL 5.1.30 under /usr/mysql. The server is a Sun X2100 M2, which has a dual core AMD Opteron processor (amd64).

Re: [Dovecot] postfix dovecot spamassassin question
by Dhaval Patel 12 Jun '11

12 Jun '11

So I setup amavis-new and configured postfix/spamassassin/amavis. Mail is still delivered properly but I do not see the spamassassin info in the headers of the email. I configured amavis-new and set "sa_tag_level_deflt" to -999 so that it would always show up but no luck. I updated the spamassassin config and enabled it. I also tested spamassassin manually running "spamassassin -t < someemail" and that returns the email with the X-Spam in the headers. If this is not the correct place to ask, I apologize. Please direct me where I can find the answer.

[Dovecot] postfix dovecot spamassassin question
by Dhaval Patel 11 Jun '11

11 Jun '11

I have an old server with postfix -> maildrop -> spamassassin -> courier setup. I am installing a new server and would like to use dovecot instead of courier. Currently I have postfix -> dovecot lda -> dovecot setup and emails are delivered as expected. The problem is that I do not know how to get spamassassin integrated into the mix since I am using the dovecot lda rather than maildrop. I would rather keep things as simple as possible and not use maildrop + sendmail just to use spamassasin but will if I have to. So my question to the list is, how do you recommend me doing this? Are there any documentation, howtos or tutorials which can help me configure this? Below is the output of dovecot -n Thanks, Dhaval ------------dovecot -n--------------- # 1.2.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-5-686-bigmem i686 Debian 6.0.1 xfs log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S ssl_cert_file: /etc/ssl/certs/secure.consoe.com.pem ssl_key_file: /etc/ssl/certs/secure.consoe.com.key disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: maildir:/home/vmail/%u mbox_write_locks: fcntl dotlock namespace: type: private separator: . prefix: INBOX. inbox: yes list: yes subscriptions: yes lda: postmaster_address: postmaster(a)patel.sh auth_socket_path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master log_path: /home/vmail/dovecot-deliver.log mail_plugins: sieve global_script_path: /home/vmail/globalsieverc auth default: mechanisms: plain login passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf socket: type: listen client: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-client mode: 432 master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 user: vmail group: vmail

[Dovecot] Sub-Subfolder from public folders
by Torsten Harenberg 10 Jun '11

10 Jun '11

Dear all, I just moved from an old cyrus instance to a brand new dovecot installation. Everything worked pretty well so far. The only small problem I have is: we have public folders, so I defined namespace { type = public separator = . prefix = public. location = maildir:/var/mail/public:INDEX=%u/public subscriptions = no list = children } And I define ACLs for the folders inside. This works, but the some of these folders have sub-folders and these cannot be seen by (what I have tested is Apple Mail, Thunderbird, Outlook and squirrelmail). File system looks like this: mail# cd /var/mail/public/.icecube-c mail# ls -l .ice* .icecube-hard: total 232 drwxrwxrwx 2 root wheel 512 Jun 9 13:07 cur -rwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 167 Jun 9 13:07 dovecot-keywords -rwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 105179 Jun 9 13:07 dovecot-uidlist drwxrwxrwx 2 root wheel 123904 Jun 9 13:07 new drwxrwxrwx 2 root wheel 512 Jun 9 13:07 tmp .icecube-soft: total 2214 drwxrwxrwx 2 root wheel 512 Jun 9 13:06 cur -rwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 167 Jun 9 13:07 dovecot-keywords -rwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 1019250 Jun 9 13:07 dovecot-uidlist -rwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 0 Jun 9 13:06 maildirfolder drwxrwxrwx 2 root wheel 1195008 Jun 9 13:07 new drwxrwxrwx 2 root wheel 512 Jun 9 13:07 tmp mail# ls .icecube-hard .icecube-soft cur dovecot-acl dovecot-keywords dovecot-uidlist new subscriptions tmp Maybe anybody can help with this?

[Dovecot] On-delivery deduplication?
by Xin LI 10 Jun '11

10 Jun '11

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi, A feature of Cyrus-IMAPd I really missed after migrated to Dovecot is their optional "duplicate suppression", which eliminates duplicate message at deliver time, if their envelope sender, recipient and message-id matches. For example, if one subscribes to a mailing list, and someone hit "Reply All" to reply to him, there will be two different SMTP deliveries, one from the replier's server and one from the mailing list. Is it possible to do the same on latest Dovecot? (Looking at the documentation it seems not?) Or is there some better ways to implement the same functionality? Thanks in advance!

[Dovecot] possible bug leading to lmtp crashes
by Trever L. Adams 10 Jun '11

10 Jun '11

I have been using Samba 4 kerberos and ldap with dovecot. Samba 4 changed a while back (resulting in me asking for help) which requires kerberos auth for ldap lookups. My setup worked perfectly before hand. Before and after were with dovecot-2.0.11 and the after also happens with 2.0.11. The only changes were (in my ldap.conf for dovecot -- changes are new lines starting with *, * is not in the conf, just showing changes): hosts = example.org base = dc=example,dc=org ldap_version = 3 user_attrs = userPrincipalName=user user_filter = (&(objectClass=person)(|(mail=%u)(sAMAccountName=%u)(userPrincipalName=%u))) *dn = MACHINEACCOUNT$(a)EXAMPLE.ORG *sasl_bind = yes *sasl_mech = GSSAPI *sasl_realm = EXAMPLE.ORG *#sasl_authz_id = MACHINEACCOUNT$(a)EXAMPE.ORG # For using doveadm -A: iterate_attrs = userPrincipalName=user iterate_filter = (objectClass=person) in dovecot.conf: import_environment = TZ KRB5CCNAME=/etc/dovecot/krb5.cc With that do any of the following lines from the referenced hg rev set mean I am missing anything on my import_environment variable? Or is it all good? 10.15 +/* <settings checks> */ 10.16 +#ifdef HAVE_SYSTEMD 10.17 +# define ENV_SYSTEMD " LISTEN_PID LISTEN_FDS" 10.18 +#else 10.19 +# define ENV_SYSTEMD "" 10.20 +#endif 10.21 +#ifdef DEBUG 10.22 +# define ENV_GDB " GDB" 10.23 +#else 10.24 +# define ENV_GDB "" 10.25 +#endif 10.26 +/* </settings checks> */ 10.27 + 10.28 static const struct master_settings master_default_settings = { 10.29 .base_dir = PKG_RUNDIR, 10.30 .libexec_dir = PKG_LIBEXECDIR, 10.31 + .import_environment = "TZ" ENV_SYSTEMD ENV_GDB, If I am not missing anything, then there seems to be a problem with kerberos sasl with ldap lookups.

[Dovecot] IMAP Label Updates not showing up across shared account
by Ricardo Branco 09 Jun '11

09 Jun '11

Dovecot 2.0.13 Centos 5.4 x86_64 2.6.18-164.9.1.el5 (on ESXi) OS/Logs on local storage, /home all on NFS server for datastore (NFS Store Centos 5.5 x86_64 2.6.18-194.11.1.el5) Thunderbird 3.1.10 on XP/W7 Desktops We are seeing a werid issue where there is a delay of up to a few mins in seeing label updates on messages. I have confirmed that Thunderbird is sending the update to the server with WireShark, its just additional users connected to the same mailbox do not see them. Marking a message as Seen/Un-Seen happens faster just not labels. If you have a label set when you mark a message as Seen/Un-Seen the other clients then see the update straight away. -- The information contained in or attached to this email is intended only for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed.

Hi I migrated to dovecot 2 and I started using lmtp for mail delivery. But I have found this on my logs "save failed to INBOX: Not enough disk space" . There is enougth space on disk. and I am not using quota plugin on lmtp my lmtp conf is as follow: # ## LMTP specific settings ## # Support proxying to other LMTP/SMTP servers by performing passdb lookups. #lmtp_proxy = no # When recipient address includes the detail (e.g. user+detail), try to save # the mail to the detail mailbox. See also recipient_delimiter and # lda_mailbox_autocreate settings. #lmtp_save_to_detail_mailbox = no protocol lmtp { # Space separated list of plugins to load (default is global mail_plugins). #mail_plugins = $mail_plugins mail_plugins = sieve postmaster_address = admin(a)domain.tld } Any idea please? Thanks

Could it be possible to trace Sieve script using method other than "enotify", i.e. to write a message to syslog using some action? MU

[Dovecot] deliver doesn't find adress/inbox
by Martin Benkenstein 08 Jun '11

08 Jun '11

I'm trying to make dovecot 1.2.15, deliver, openLDAP, exim and fetchmail work together on an Debian Squeeze (virtual) maschine. The connection between dovecot and LDAP seems to be working, I can logon from Thunderbird (IMAP) and my maildir is created automatically. So far so good. But when I download the mails via fetchmail, it seems that deliver cannot find the correct mailbox for the X-Envelope-To entry in the header. fetchmail downloads all mails for the domain from one account (config below) and hands them over to exim. I configured exim addording to the wiki entry (http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Exim Virtual Users / Single UID). The mail is sent back to the account which is fetched by fetchmail. There is a header entry X-Fetchmail-Warning: no recipient addresses matched declared local names. The fetchmail-log itself is worthless. What am I doing wrong? At which does the system try to look up the mailaddress and fails?

[Dovecot] How Dovecot 2 create folders and subfolders ( MBOX format ) with TB ?
by Frank Bonnet 07 Jun '11

07 Jun '11

Hello When creating new IMAP folder with thunderbird and Dovecot configured with the std MBOX format dovecot create a file in mbox format and so it is not possible to create a subfolder of this folder. If you ask to create a NEW subfolder of the form : TOTO/TATA Dovecot create a directory TOTO containing a mbox file TATA. Very useful :-) I suppose the "/" separator is parsed by dovecot then it creates a directory containing the mbox file. Am I right ?

[Dovecot] restore lost emails
by Daminto Lie 07 Jun '11

07 Jun '11

Hi, I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me with this. I am running Postfix 2.7.0, Dovecot 1.2.9 and squirrelmail. Every week, I perform a back-up on both Postfix and Dovecot (maildir and conf folders). That's good because I have all the emails backed up. And now what I would like to ask is whether or not there are any easy way of restoring e-mails if some emails got deleted by accident or for other reason. So far, I have tried to look up the answer on the Internet but got a bit of vague answer. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

[Dovecot] Doveadm index!
by Henrique Fernandes 07 Jun '11

07 Jun '11

Hello folks, I recent update my dovecot 2.0.6 to the version 2.0.13 cause i wanted to use dovecot index to build fts squat for users! I noticed that there is no log for the fts build action, it does log all actions to the normal index.cache. Timo, could you add some logging please? And also, if possible an option to cache all mailbox of the users! Thanks a lot! Right now is already helping me a lot. []'sf.rique
