I'm all for that since I don't seem to have any need for a home directory. Any idea of how to do it with a passwd-file userdb backend? I also tried to override home directory with userdb { driver = passwd-file args = /etc/passwd home=/bundled/home/$n } but that didn't work out too well. Or is this feature a rephrasing of the current topic thread "Global fields for passwd-file database". Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

[Dovecot] delegation of admin rights
by Ariel Biener 23 May '11

23 May '11

Hello, We're a rather largish university (largest in Israel), with some 60-70k users, using Dovecot 1.2.14 (we're cautious about moving to 2.0.x for now). We need to provide admin rights to faculty computer/IT staff, so they can have access to the mailboxes of their respective users. We use LDAP as an authentication/authorization backend. Currently, dovecot has a "master user" which can access all mailboxes. I am looking for a solution, preferably within dovecot, to create a delegation type of administration, allowing certain users to access the mailboxes of other users based on an LDAP filter or LDAP attribute value. If possible, allowing per protocol access(that is, I would like to give them IMAP access and not POP3) and within IMAP allowing only to view a mailbox, but not to change it, that would be even better. Does anyone on this list know of any IMAP proxy providing such abilities, and also, would the Dovecot team consider this as a candidate for a request for enhancement ? This would be very useful in a delegated administration environment, like most larger organizations, hosting & ISP, and other environments where delegation is an important and very much needed ability. thanks a bunch, -- Ariel -- Ariel Biener e-mail: ariel(a)post.tau.ac.il PGP: http://www.tau.ac.il/~ariel/pgp.html

[Dovecot] Crash test :)
by kjonca＠o2.pl 23 May '11

23 May '11

I'm considering to move my mails from maildir/mbox to mdbox. One of my doubts is: how can I restore my mails when something terrribly wrong happens. I understand that I should use doveadm import "backup_location" "mailbox" all. So I try to import with: doveadm -v import "sdbox:~/Mail/dbox-temp/spamcop/reports/" "#Dbox/spamcop/reports" all #Dbox namespace were defined as: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- namespace { hidden = no inbox = no list = yes location = mdbox:~/Mail/Dbox prefix = "#Dbox/" separator = / subscriptions = yes type = private } --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- dbox-temp were defined earlier as --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- namespace { hidden = no inbox = no list = yes location = sdbox:~/Mail/dbox-temp separator = / subscriptions = yes type = private } --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- 1. when I specified for example sdbox:~/Mail/dbox-temp/spamcop/reports/ doveadm search mails under ~/Mail/dbox-temp/spamcop/reports/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails/ - am I missing something from documentation? (I expected rather ~/Mail/dbox-temp/mailboxes/spamcop/reports/dbox-Mails) 2. when I move dbox-Mails to proper place I got: doveadm(kjonca): Error: sdbox /home/kjonca/Mail/dbox-temp/spamcop/reports/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails: Invalid dbox header size doveadm(kjonca): Error: sdbox /home/kjonca/Mail/dbox-temp/spamcop/reports/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails: Invalid dbox header size And nothing were imported.

[Dovecot] PERMANENTFLAGS response if ACL seen/write rights are missing
by Michael M Slusarz 23 May '11

23 May '11

In dovecot 2.0.13, if a user does not have either s or w ACL rights on a mailbox, PERMANENTFLAGS correctly indicates that the mailbox has not permanent flags: * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS ()] Read-only mailbox. However, if one is set but not the other, the PERMANENTFLAGS list is not being pruned appropriately. For example, for a mailbox with the following flags: * FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft $Forwarded $Junk) If s is set, but not w, I would expect PERMANENTFLAGS to look like: * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Seen)] If w is set, but not s, I would expect this: * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Draft $Forwarded $Junk \*)] However, in both cases I currently see all flags in the mailbox: * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft $Forwarded $Junk \*)] michael

[Dovecot] hardluck w/ sieve
by errno 22 May '11

22 May '11

I've followed the docs here: http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve/Dovecot ... in particular, the 'Per-user Sieve script location' scenario. However, I'm unable to get any behavior that indicates that sieve is functioning correctly - well, functioning _at_all_ would be more accurate. Relevant dovecot.conf: protocol lda { ... mail_plugins = sieve } auth default { ... passdb passwd-file { args = /var/vmail/passwd } userdb static { args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/var/vmail/%d/%u } } plugin { sieve = /var/sieve-scripts/%d/%u.sieve } ls -l /var/sieve-scripts/domain.com/user.sieve -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 224 May 22 00:18 /var/sieve-scripts/domain/user.sieve I of course have an extremely simple rule in the example 'user.sieve' file; but for whatever reasons, no filtering is occurring. Is there anything obvious in my configuration that's broke? How best to debug? Thankyou!

[Dovecot] Behavior difference in mbox versus Maildir listing
by Bruno Prémont 22 May '11

22 May '11

Hi, My MUA (claws-mail) is having a hard time listing directories for a mail account with two namespaces, one of which using mbox and the other one using maildir to store mails. Let's call the namespaces "#mbox." and "#maildir." and have "." as separator. Assume I have the following folder hierarchy: $namespace $namespace folder $namespace folder folder1a $namespace folder folder1b $namespace folder folder1c The resulting IMAPv4 session is: mb1 LIST "" "#mbox.%" * LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "." "#mbox.folder" mb1 OK List completed. mb2 LIST "" "#mbox.folder.%" * LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "." "#mbox.folder." * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "." "#mbox.folder.folder1a" * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "." "#mbox.folder.folder1b" * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "." "#mbox.folder.folder1c" mb2 OK List completed. md1 LIST "" "#maildir.%" * LIST (\HasChildren) "." "#maildir.folder" md1 OK List completed. md2 LIST "" "#maildir.folder.%" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "#maildir.folder.folder1a" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "#maildir.folder.folder1b" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "#maildir.folder.folder1c" md2 OK List completed. Notice the extra presence of listed folder itself with trailing "." in mb2 that has no equivalent in md2! Is this expected listing behavior? If so, why the differing behavior between both storage engines? Affected dovecot versions: at least 1.1.16 and 2.0.11 (installed from Gentoo packages) System is x86 on XFS Thanks, Bruno

[Dovecot] IMAP COMPRESS not announced while using imap_zlib plugin

I'm trying to enable the IMAP COMPRESS plugin listed here: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Compress I have added zlib globally and imap_zlib to the imap protocol. This is the output from doveconf -n with regards to mail_plugins: --cut-- mail_plugins = zlib protocol imap { mail_plugins = zlib imap_zlib } --cut But it seem like the feature is not announced when connecting to the IMAP server: * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE STARTTLS LOGINDISABLED AUTH=DIGEST-MD5 AUTH=CRAM-MD5] Dovecot ready. I would expect something like COMPRESS=DEFLATE. I haven't enabled any compression for the Maildir files, zlib_save_level and zlib_save is not set. Does IMAP COMPRESS only work if the mailbox is compressed? Best regards Henrik Larsson

I see the same behaviour in 2.0.13, which process tracing of imap shows more clearly (/nfs/user is per user mount, /nfs/home/user is user home bundle) ... 4087: getuid() = 12345 [12345] 4087: chdir("/nfs/test") = 0 4087: stat64("/nfs/home/test/mail", 0xFFBFF6C0) = 0 4087: stat64("/nfs/home/test/mail", 0xFFBFF5A0) = 0 4087: stat64("/nfs/home/test/mail", 0xFFBFF6C0) = 0 ... This happens fairly early after imap-login forks and execs the imap process. I'll see if I can find it after building a debug version, but I think Timo will beat me to this.

[Dovecot] Migrate to new server without raw copy
by Daniel L. Miller 20 May '11

20 May '11

I've setup a new virtual machine to run my mail servers. Dovecot is installed and talking with the LDAP server for the user list. Now the question is how to migrate the data from the old Dovecot to the new. The data is stored in mdbox, with some possible corruption. Accordingly, any form of simple file copy is not the answer - I need the messages to be processed by something and then stored fresh on the new server. I do have NFS access both ways if that does anything. I tried imapsync - but it quickly broke on some of the messages. Is dsync the answer? Or do I use a MUA and drag-n-drop the messages a batch at a time between the servers? -- Daniel

[Dovecot] How to stop mail_executable from cwd to ~home
by Gary Duncan 19 May '11

19 May '11

In our environment home directories are auto-mounted via /home/<user> including on the server provided mail. Within the various mail services though we try to isolate and override with local /mail/home/<user> Works well except that dovecot still wants to cd to the real home triggering a useless and potentially hindering automount when it invokes the imap or pop3 process specified by mail_executable, ie an lsof of the process shows cwd of /home/<user> and the automounted home. It does this even though home is properly overridden within. I suspect this is part of changing to invoke as the user as the *-login process are ok but then they are still running as dovecot. Various recent attempts to explicitly respecify HOME for mail_executable via a wrapper script or using env have been to no avail (as seen below). How can I resolve?

[Dovecot] v2.0.13 released
by Timo Sirainen 19 May '11

19 May '11

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/dovecot-2.0.13.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/dovecot-2.0.13.tar.gz.sig I've almost managed to read my email backlog, but there are still some unanswered mails. Feel free to resend if you think I should have answered some of your mails. The most important changes since v2.0.12: + Added "doveadm index" command to add unindexed messages into index/cache. If full text search is enabled, it also adds unindexed messages to the fts database. + added "doveadm director dump" command. + pop3: Added support for showing messages in "POP3 order", which can be different from IMAP message order. This can be useful for migrations from other servers. Implemented it for Maildir as 'O' field in dovecot-uidlist. - doveconf: Fixed a wrong "subsection has ssl=yes" warning. - mdbox purge: Fixed wrong warning about corrupted extrefs. - sdbox: INBOX GUID changed when INBOX was autocreated, leading to trouble with dsync. - script-login binary wasn't actually dropping privileges to the user/group/chroot specified by its service settings. - Fixed potential crashes and other problems when parsing header names that contained NUL characters.

[Dovecot] integrating procmail
by errno 19 May '11

19 May '11

Hello, list members! I'm new to dovecot, and haven't needed to maintain an email server instance for quite some time. I recently got a fairly simple postfix + dovecot installation functional as needed, however I now need to get procmail filtering incoming mail, and after reading various docs and wikis, I find that I'm still having a tough time feeling confident on how best to approach it in the simplest manner. (this is for a small installation.... 10 email accounts, max). Below, I've provide the relevant snippets of my current functional configuration; how best to integrate procmail into the mix? /etc/postfix/main.cf: ... alias_maps = hash:/etc/mail/aliases local_recipient_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/vmailbox, $alias_maps virtual_transport = dovecot virtual_mailbox_domains = $mydomain virtual_mailbox_base = /var/vmail/ virtual_mailbox_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/vmailbox virtual_minimum_uid = 500 virtual_uid_maps = static:501 virtual_gid_maps = static:501 ... /etc/postfix/master.cf: ... dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -f ${sender} - d ${recipient} ... /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf: ... mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir protocol lda { sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail } auth default { mechanisms = plain passdb passwd-file { args = /var/vmail/passwd } userdb static { args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/var/vmail/%d/%u } socket listen { master { path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode = 0600 user = vmail group = vmail } } } ... Thankyou for any tips, much appreciated!

[Dovecot] vacation problem with sieve and sogo
by Pablo Luchetti 18 May '11

18 May '11

Hi, I have a problem with dovecot's sieve and SOGo ( http://www.sogo.nu/ ) I have installed last version of sogo ( 1.3.6) in one virtual machine with ubuntu, lucid. In another virtualmachine with ubuntu jaunty is running dovecot ( 1:1.1.11-0ubuntu4.1 ) When try to activate vacation function, after the "PUTSCRIPT "sogo" command, the manage-sieve answer: NO "Script name 'sogo' is reserved for internal use." And fails. But I found, telneting the mail server on port 2000 that if I change script name, all works fine: SETACTIVE "" OK "No scripts currently active." PUTSCRIPT "prueba" {536+} require ["vacation"]; if allof ( not exists ["list-help", "list-unsubscribe", "list-subscribe", "list-owner", "list-post", "list-archive", "list-id", "Mailing-List"], not header :comparator "i;ascii-casemap" :is "Precedence" ["list", "bulk", "junk"], not header :comparator "i;ascii-casemap" :matches "To" "Multiple recipients of*" ) {vacation :days 1 :addresses ["pluchetti(a)example.org", "pablo.luchetti(a)example.org"] text: hoy es 27 de abril de 2011, y estoy probando el nuevo sogo. 10:40 . ; } redirect "pllis(a)educ.ar"; keep; OK "Putscript completed." SETACTIVE "prueba" OK "Setactive completed." logout OK "Logout completed." Connection closed by foreign host. So, the question is: Why does this happen? How can I fix it ? Any ideas? Here are dovecot's version and config: # dovecot --version 1.1.11 # dovecot -n # 1.1.11: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.28-18-server i686 Ubuntu 9.04 log_path: /var/log/mail/dovecot-msa.log log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: imap imaps pop3 pop3s ssl_cert_file: /etc/ssl/local/WILD.jil_01+CHAIN.crt ssl_key_file: /etc/ssl/private/WILD.jil_01.key login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-login login_greeting: JIL mail server ready. first_valid_uid: 106 last_valid_uid: 106 first_valid_gid: 112 last_valid_gid: 112 mail_privileged_group: mail mail_uid: vmail mail_gid: vmail mail_location: maildir:~ mail_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/pop3 auth default: mechanisms: plain login user: vmailauth passdb: driver: ldap args: /etc/dovecot/ldap-auth-userdb.conf userdb: driver: ldap args: /etc/dovecot/ldap-auth-userdb.conf socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth-client mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 user: vmail group: vmail plugin: sieve: ~/sieve/s0g0.sieve Thanks!!

[Dovecot] IMAP message ID bad for very old message
by a.smith＠ukgrid.net 17 May '11

17 May '11

Hi, I just noticed that the ordering by message ID when accessing my email via IMAP is messed up. I'm looking in the INBOX that contains 11757 emails. For some reason a load of emails from 2009 and 2010 are being listed near the top, for example I have a message with ID 11441 from 2009 where it definitely shouldn't be, its all mixed in with emails from 2011 there. Info from LDAP is: * 11441 FETCH (FLAGS (\Answered \Seen) INTERNALDATE "27-Mar-2009 09:14:10 +0000" RFC822.SIZE 5772 ENVELOPE ("Fri, 27 Mar 2009 09:15:09 -0000" "MyC IP on CBL" (("Patrick XXXXXXXX- XXXXXXXX" NIL "patrick" "XXXXXXXX.co.uk")) (("Patrick XXXXXX- XXXXXXXX" NIL "patrick" "XXXXXXX.co.uk")) (("Patrick xxxxxx - xxxxxxx" NIL "patrick" "XXXXXXXX.co.uk")) (("Andy Smith" NIL "a.smith" "ukgrid.net")) (("Frank XXXXXXX" NIL "frank" "XXXXXXXXXXX.co.uk")(NIL NIL "Tim.XXXXXXXX" "XXXXXX.org")) NIL NIL "<6937D025FA924E73B8C839858C27AEBF@PatrickDesktop>")) I'm using maildir format, and the actual file date looks fine too: -rw-rw---- 1 vmail vmail 5627 Mar 27 2009 1238145250.H86871P67126.mx1.ukgrid.net:2,RS I am testing IMAP via telnet (originally noticed the problem viewing mail via HORDE/IMP). My system is FreeBSD 8.2, Dovecot 2.0.11. What might cause this behaviour? thanks Andy.

[Dovecot] Permission lookup failed with imap
by Alex 17 May '11

17 May '11

Hi all, I'm still trying to troubleshoot my problem with dovecot-2.0.11 and creating "mail/mail" directories for a reason unknown to me, so I enabled mail_debug. It's now printing this: May 15 21:39:33 mail dovecot: imap(gdadmin): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions from /home/gdadmin/mail: mode=0755 gid=-1 May 15 21:39:33 mail dovecot: imap(gdadmin): Debug: Namespace : Permission lookup failed from /home/gdadmin/mail/mail/INBOX. Trash That file (INBOX.Trash) does exist at that location and is readable. It prints that line three times for each of INBOX.Sent, INBOX.Trash, and INBOX.Drafts. Also notice that it is creating /home/user/mail/mail. My mail_location is set to "mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u", so I'm really confused. I really hope someone has some ideas! Thanks so much, Best, Alex

[Dovecot] when the user has no home directory
by Dave Yost 16 May '11

16 May '11

A user on our server for some reason didn't have a home directory. As a result, the pop3 server was complaining. Apple's Mail app reported that the server said: The attempt to send data to the server "(null)" failed. It would be nice if the server would say something to the effect that the connection failed because the user account has no home directory. Thanks

[Dovecot] user_query and mail_plugins in database
by Ralf Zimmermann 16 May '11

16 May '11

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, I have a problem with mail_plugins in dovecot-2.0.x. I will use mail_plugins within a database, so that I can define plugins for users in the database. But I get errors like this. - -----------------------------%<------------------------------------ lmtp(3933): Error: Can't load plugin imap_quota_plugin: Plugin is intended to be used only by imap binary (we're lmtp) - -----------------------------%<------------------------------------- Here my options from the configuration: - -----------------------------%<------------------------------------- mail_plugins = " acl quota" protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = " acl quota sieve" } protocol lda { mail_plugins = " acl quota sieve" } protocol imap { mail_plugins = " acl quota imap_quota imap_acl autocreate" } - -----------------------------%<-------------------------------------- Every protocol uses own mail_plugin definitions. So I create the following user_query: user_query = SELECT LOWER(login) AS user,home,mail,5000 AS uid,5000 AS gid,CONCAT('*:storage=',quota_mb,'MB') AS quota_rule,acl_groups,case when '%s'='lda' then 'acl quota sieve' when '%s'='lmtp' then 'acl quota sieve' when '%s'='doveadm' then 'acl quota' when '%s'='sieve' then 'acl quota' else mail_plugins end as mail_plugins FROM virtual_users WHERE ( login='%u' OR email='%u' ) AND enabled IS true; Now the configuration works. Can I use a simpler solution to configure this functionality?

[Dovecot] dovecot authentication failing
by David Mehler 16 May '11

16 May '11

Hello, I'm running dovecot 2.0.x on a centos 5.6 machine. This is a new installation, I haven't even opened the firewall to it yet. I was trying to telnet localhost 143 and 110 trying to authenticate a user. I'm getting authentication failure in my maillog but no details. Here's the one line I get in my maillog: May 14 15:33:42 ohio dovecot: pop3-login: Aborted login (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=<user(a)example.com>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured Here's a doveconf -n: # 2.0.12: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.38.3-linode32 i686 CentOS release 5.6 (Final) ext3 auth_default_realm = domain.com auth_mechanisms = plain login base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/ disable_plaintext_auth = no listen = * mail_location = maildir:/var/spool/mail/vhosts/%d/%u maildir_very_dirty_syncs = yes mbox_write_locks = fcntl passdb { args = scheme=CRYPT username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/users driver = passwd-file } protocols = imap pop3 service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix user = postfix } } ssl_cert = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem Here's how I constructed my users file: # # Passwd-file for use with dovecot authentication # Used in a virtual setup # Username:{scheme}HashedPassword:UID:GID:: user:{SSHA512}hbLu+pCmhmtyKEwyAs3wv3kvHD/ryr0MoXOAq3VdB7X/g8qIE/xE9BG+eI4jhFk9pTyiCltPCjZxv5/+yK1wll2LNcw= :5000:5000:: My goal is to use this with a postfix virtual mailbox setup, the postfix part is already in place. The mailbox base is /var/spool/mail/vhosts and under that there's example.com which is the domain and under that the various users one just called user for this example. The Uid and Gid 5000 is the same one the postfix vmail user is running as that's the user who handles the virtual mailbox domains. I'm suspecting my issue is in my users file or the definition of it in passwd-file{ i've been over the wiki for 2.0.x dovecot, this was definitely worth the upgrade by the way, and thus far have not found an answer. I'd appreciate any help. Thanks. Dave.

[Dovecot] Dovecot mail_location creating duplicate mbox mail directories
by Alex 16 May '11

16 May '11

Hi all, I'm using dovecot v2.0.11 on fedora14 with postfix. This system was migrated from an old UW mbox system, so users already have ~/mail/INBOX.* files. Now for some reason, dovecot is creating ~/mail/mail/INBOX.* files and somehow not seeing the mail_location properly. I've set mail_location to "mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u", which has worked on a similar system I migrated, but I can't understand why it would try and create a "mail" subdiretory under the ~/mail directory. Even if I set mail_location to just mbox:~ instead, it doesn't create the .subscriptions file properly, and still creates them with "mail/INBOX.Trash" for example. Below is my doveconf. Any ideas greatly appreciated. Is there a way to have doveconf only print those values that differ from the defaults? # 2.0.11: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.35.13-91.fc14.x86_64 x86_64 Fedora release 14 (Laughlin)

[Dovecot] Expunge deleted messages older than X days for all users ?
by Bar Ziony 15 May '11

15 May '11

Hi, I'm currently migrating to Dovecot-based IMAP server for a ~200 users environment. Clients are Outlook 2003/2007, Thunderbird 3.x and various mobile clients. 1) What I want to accomplish is to allow the users to delete a message (then the message is moved to "Trash"), then when they empty/delete that message from Trash, it will be kept somewhere on the server for X days, and the user could recover that message in some way. Is that at all possible with Dovecot? 2) Also, how can I automatically expunge the emails that the user deleted from their deleted items folder ? What if users don't EXPUNGE by themselves ? What do you do in that case? Thanks, Bar.

I recently created Dovecot Solutions Oy (Ltd) company with two other guys. We sell Dovecot support, development, etc. I was planning on announcing this only after we get an actual web site, but since I already told about it in Linuxtag today, I might as well tell everyone. The upcoming web site should have some more details, but if you already know you want to buy something, let me know. :)

[Dovecot] dovecot proxy with nopassword and postfix sasl
by Franco Rizzo 13 May '11

13 May '11

HI All I have setup a dovecot proxy with remote auth, value nopassword in the passdb to make the auth remotely. With pop3 and imap the authentication is made on the remote server and this work perfectly. I have tested with wrong and correct password. Then I have added the postfix sasl and this also works fine, the request is made to dovecot. My problem is that with this method I can give any password to postfix and mail is sent. In the debug it seams that a request is made to the remote server for auth. The smtp sasl auth is only refused when I put no password. Is it allowed to use postfix sasl auth with dovecot proxy auth on remote server ? Thank you Franco Rizzo
