Well, I finally got around to fiddling with this, and I now have created a /etc/pam.d/system-auth that doesn't trigger the annoying authentication failure messages in syslog. The file is shown below. I've tested this by connecting in using SSH (setup for PAM) both as a user in the local /etc/passwd and as a user in LDAP. Also, I tested /etc/passwd users with the LDAP server stopped, and that worked too. Finally, I tested connecting to Dovecot as an LDAP user. Note: The only section that references LDAP is the auth section. That's because account and session rely on pam_unix to pick up the information using nss_ldap (i.e. /etc/nsswitch.conf says "files ldap" for passwd, group, etc.) This seems to work for me... Also, note that my LDAP server stores Samba passwords too, so that's why the password section uses pam_smbpass (which in turn is setup to access LDAP via /etc/samba/smb.conf) rather than pam_ldap. This is so both the Unix and SMB passwords are updated in LDAP. Anyway, here's my file. Anyone want to pick holes in it? Indented lines are just mail formatting... #%PAM-1.0 # This file is auto-generated. # User changes will be destroyed the next time authconfig is run. auth required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_env.so auth sufficient /lib/security/$ISA/pam_ldap.so debug auth sufficient /lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so use_first_pass likeauth auth required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_deny.so account required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so account sufficient /lib/security/$ISA/pam_succeed_if.so uid < 100 quiet account required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_permit.so password requisite /lib/security/$ISA/pam_cracklib.so retry=3 password sufficient /lib/security/$ISA/pam_smbpass.so use_authtok password sufficient /lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so nullok use_authtok md5 shadow password required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_deny.so session required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_limits.so session required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so session required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel/ umask=0077

[Dovecot] failed to start
by Don Citarella 28 Aug '06

28 Aug '06

Hello, i saw you posted on dovecot.org and was hoping you could assist with a problem i have with dovecot. I installed the attached file to webmin and clicked it said it installed correctly: Dovecot IMAP/POP3 Server in /usr/libexec/webmin/dovecot (372 kB) under category Servers I clicked the link and then clicked "Start Dovecot Server" from the webmin panel and got this error: Failed to start Dovecot : I assume this means a file is missing. My config file looks like this: dovecot=/usr/sbin/dovecot dovecot_config=/etc/dovecot.conf init_script=dovecot pid_file=/var/run/dovecot/master.pid There doesn't appear to be a dovecot directory in: etc/rc.d/init.d/ Perhaps that's the issue? I'm running Redhat Linux 4. Can you assist in any way? Any help is most appreciated. Thanks, Don

I keep getting these messages in the log: @4000000044f1db7732acaddc dovecot: Error: auth(default): vmysql: sql error[3]: MySQL server has gone away I see that at least one user has the same problem: http://www.mail-archive.com/vchkpw@inter7.com/msg23311.html Unfortunately, no solution is given. I also found the MySQL Problems page on the wiki, but the issues are supposed to be resolved for my version of MySQL. The only way to get dovecot to authenticate again is to restart the daemon.

[Dovecot] imap service not working
by LeVA 26 Aug '06

26 Aug '06

Hi! I'm using dovecot-1.0.rc7 with pop3 and imap. The pop3 is ok, really, no problem at all. With imap, I have the following problem: From the client side it looks like it logs in - logs out - logs in - logs out... can not see any emails or directories. From the server side, I can see these in the logs: dovecot: Aug 26 22:29:00 Info: auth(default): client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=IMAP secured lip=x.x.x.x rip=x.x.x.x dovecot: Aug 26 22:29:00 Info: auth(default): client out: CONT 1 dovecot: Aug 26 22:29:00 Info: auth(default): client in: CONT 1 AHRlc3p0AGxvZmFzeg== dovecot: Aug 26 22:29:00 Info: auth(default): client out: OK 1 user=teszt MAIL=maildir:/ dovecot: Aug 26 22:29:00 Info: auth(default): master in: REQUEST 30 15660 1 dovecot: Aug 26 22:29:00 Info: auth(default): master out: USER 30 teszt uid=8010 gid=8010 home=/var/mail/virtual/teszt/Maildir/./ dovecot: Aug 26 22:29:00 Info: IMAP(teszt): Effective uid=8010, gid=8010 dovecot: Aug 26 22:29:00 Info: IMAP(teszt): maildir: data=/ dovecot: Aug 26 22:29:00 Info: IMAP(teszt): maildir: root=, index=, control=, inbox= dovecot: Aug 26 22:29:00 Info: imap-login: Login: user=<teszt>, method=plain, rip=x.x.x.x, lip=x.x.x.x, TLS These messages are repeating, but with an incrementing number: "USER 30 teszt". This number after the 'USER' word increments with every login. The user's mail directory has 770 perms, and owned by 8010:8010 (the teszt user's UID and GID). The cur/new/tmp folders gets created, but nothing more. The MTA on the server puts the messages inside the new/ folder, and I can get the mails with pop3 from the 'teszt' account. Only imap is acting funny. This "infinite loop" happens with Thunderbird, but I tried it with KMail too. The latter says right after the login procedure: "The connection to the server IMAP Account was unexpectedly closed or timed out. It will be re-established automatically if possible." Is there some script which makes the maildir folder "ready" for use (like the mkmaildir with courier imap), or is there some special file which I must put in it to make it work? Thanks for the help!

[Dovecot] separate passdb for imap and pop3
by LeVA 26 Aug '06

26 Aug '06

Hi! Is this possible? I couldn't find any writings about the 'auth' (like 'auth default') keyword in the wiki. What does that mean? Can I setup seperate user and password dbs for sepearate circumstances? I've tried to experiment with it and added two auths: auth pop3 { mechanisms = plain digest-md5 passdb passwd-file { args = /etc/dovecot_pop3.passwd } userdb passwd-file { args = /etc/dovecot_pop3.passwd } user = _dv_auth } auth imap { mechanisms = plain digest-md5 passdb passwd-file { args = /etc/dovecot_imap.passwd } userdb passwd-file { args = /etc/dovecot_imap.passwd } user = _dv_auth } But how can I configure dovecot to use the 'auth imap' for imap authentications, and use 'auth pop3' for pop3 authentications. With the above setup dovecot always try to use the last one (auth imap). Any help would be appreciated! Thanks! Daniel -- LeVA

[Dovecot] Dovecot SSL issue on Solaris 10 x64 (64-bit)
by Patric 26 Aug '06

26 Aug '06

I'm having an issue with Thunderbird (and Opera) and Dovecot SSL on a Solaris 10. My OS is Solaris 10 6/06 x86 (running in 64-bit mode) using ZFS (disk mirror) as the filesystem for my users. Dovecot version is 1.0rc7 (logs below are from 1.0rc6). First the connection asks if the SSL-certificate should be accepted, accepting it seems to work but then nothing happens. Thunderbird is quite silent, not always displays an error message, it just seems that there are no emails to download. It works fine in Mac OS X Mail.app with POP3s and IMAPs (both SSL). But not for Thunderbird (1.5.0.5) and Opera (latest). Setting "verbose_ssl=yes" and "auth_debug=yes" in the configuration gives this error from a Thunderbird login: Aug 16 14:16:28 credo dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.warning] pop3-login: SSL_accept() failed: error:140D308A:SSL routines:TLS1_SETUP_KEY_BLOCK:cipher or hash unavailable [85.225.200.123] Aug 16 14:16:28 credo dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.info] pop3-login: Disconnected: rip=85.225.200.123, lip=195.198.174.212, TLS Aug 16 14:16:29 credo dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.warning] pop3-login: SSL_accept() failed: error:140D308A:SSL routines:TLS1_SETUP_KEY_BLOCK:cipher or hash unavailable [85.225.200.123] Aug 16 14:16:29 credo dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.info] pop3-login: Disconnected: rip=85.225.200.123, lip=195.198.174.212, TLS It seems to be that the OpenSSL installed with Solaris 10 is abit "broken" or missing the cryptographic procotols needed. (at least from what I've read on the Internet) Strange that it works fine with Mail.app on Mac OS X. So, I installed the latest OpenSSL, compiled, tested and installed. (no problems occured) Back to compiling Dovecot, used this oneliner to point it to the new OpenSSL (and my compile settings): env PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/ssl/lib/pkgconfig ./configure --sysconfdir=/usr/local/etc --with-ssldir=/usr/local/etc/ssl Worked! bash-3.00$ egrep "^SSL_" config.log SSL_CFLAGS='-I/usr/local/ssl/include ' SSL_LIBS='-L/usr/local/ssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto -lsocket -lnsl -ldl ' But gives this error message when I compile: gcc -std=gnu99 -g -O2 -Wall -W -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wpointer-arith -Wchar-subscripts -Wformat=2 -Wbad-function-cast -I/usr/local/ssl/include -o ssl-build-param ssl-init-main.o ssl-init-openssl.o ssl-init-gnutls.o ../lib/liblib.a -L/usr/local/ssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto -ldl -lsocket -lnsl -lrt -lsendfile ld: warning: file /usr/local/ssl/lib/libcrypto.a(dh_asn1.o): wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64 Undefined first referenced symbol in file DH_generate_parameters ssl-init-openssl.o ERR_get_error ssl-init-openssl.o ERR_error_string_n ssl-init-openssl.o i2d_DHparams ssl-init-openssl.o ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors.

[Dovecot] imap daemon consuming all the cpu
by Rui Lopes 26 Aug '06

26 Aug '06

Hello, I've tried to do a full text search on the inbox, it run fine, but the imap daemon started to eat all the CPU until I closed the email client. I'm running dovecot 1.0.rc7 [using kqueue] on FreeBSD 6.1. ktrace shows this pattern over and over (its seems to be looping): 49021 imap CALL kevent(0x4,0,0,0x80df000,0x5,0xbfbfe988) 49021 imap RET kevent 1 49021 imap CALL gettimeofday(0x80d0b00,0x80d0b08) 49021 imap RET gettimeofday 0 49021 imap CALL gettimeofday(0x80d0b00,0x80d0b08) 49021 imap RET gettimeofday 0 49021 imap CALL kevent(0x5,0,0,0xbfbfe930,0x1,0xbfbfe928) 49021 imap RET kevent 1 49021 imap CALL gettimeofday(0xbfbfe990,0) 49021 imap RET gettimeofday 0 Maybe this is useless to track the cause... :( Unfortunately(?) I can't reproduce this again, because searches run OK. Best regards, Rui Lopes

[Dovecot] High CPU load
by Nagy László 25 Aug '06

25 Aug '06

Hello, I'm using dovecot-1.0.b9 on a FreeBSD 6.1 system. Usually we have 6 clients connected to dovecot through IMAPs. These clients are Thunderbird 1.5 programs. After some hours, one or two processed go up to 100% WCPU. As an example, this is what I see when I run 'top': last pid: 5111; load averages: 1.34, 1.82, 1.75 up 13+00:04:09 15:26:59 150 processes: 2 running, 147 sleeping, 1 zombie CPU states: 21.2% user, 0.0% nice, 47.7% system, 0.0% interrupt, 31.1% idle Mem: 149M Active, 368M Inact, 196M Wired, 29M Cache, 111M Buf, 255M Free Swap: 5120M Total, 548M Used, 4572M Free, 10% Inuse PID USERNAME THR PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE C TIME WCPU COMMAND 52627 thomas 1 109 0 2940K 1500K CPU1 0 21:49 99.02% imap When there are two rebellious clients, they occupy 50-50% CPU time. If I restart thunderbird, then all goes well for a couple of minutes. I need to solve this problem. I already had a system crash that was probably caused by the cpu heat. Pleas help me. Laszlo

[Dovecot] Restricting IP and/or user access (POP3/IMAP)
by Phil Clare 25 Aug '06

25 Aug '06

Hi, The documentation says to authenticate only from a specific IP or network… if you set this to 127.0.0.1 to indicate the local loop then this effectively blocks every IP address but this one. Since the extra field is in passdb then this would imply it can be done on a per user basis. Have you tried this?

The only way of letting them read/write their e-mail is to be done with my/their Webmail client. On the site of Dovecot I read: 'It's possible to allow user to authenticate only from a specific IP or network. This is especially useful for master users. This can be done by returning allow_nets extra field in passdb.' Actually I am looking for a way of _blocking_ user(names) or certain IP adress(es) instead of _allowing_ certain IP adresses to get their POP3/IMAP mail. Pls could someone hint me out on this?

[Dovecot] multiple mailboxes in imap
by einKI.ml 25 Aug '06

25 Aug '06

Hi I try to setup a mail server which fetches mails from some pop accounts and presents them through imap (with dovecot) to my local network. I get the mails with getmail at this works as it should. To use dovecot as a pop3 and imap server works too. Now I am trying to setup multiple mailboxes which then should be presented to the user as different folders. I think I have to use namespaces for this (is this correct?) So I tried to configure two namespaces with the following statement. namespace private { separator = / inbox = yes prefix = } namespace private { separator = / prefix = ns location = maildir:/data/server/mail/in/%u/ns } when i try to access the imap server with thunderbird I can receive mails for Inbox but when I want to subscripe an additional folder ns can be seen but is grayed out in thunderbird. To summarize this can anybody give me a hint or example how to configure multiple mailboxes which are located in different directories on the server. thx

[Dovecot] forward flag metadata
by Tim Schafer 24 Aug '06

24 Aug '06

In testing the migration from courier-imap to dovecot I've discovered that the forward flag on messages isn't kept track of in a standard way. courier-imap seems to keep track of forwarded messages in courierimapkeywords/:list dovecot seems to add an 'a' flag to the filename. Unfortunately this 'a' flag information doesn't seem to be given out by dovecot. It's like it's write only. Is it a bug that dovecot doesn't hand out the "forwarded" metadata? -- Regards, Tim Schafer Information Technology Logistics Easier with Technology Freight Solution Providers direct 916-376-6190 10453 Old Placerville Road fax 916-376-6156 Sacramento, CA 95827 tim_schafer(a)shipfsp.com

[Dovecot] getting dovecot unwedged
by Scott Murman 24 Aug '06

24 Aug '06

I'm having a problem with the dovecot server. I've upgraded to 1.0rc7 to no avail. My naive view is that a cache file is corrupt, or a lock file cannot be unset. Certain mailboxes cannot be accessed to read or write. Checking the process, the server looks stuck in an infinite poll/wait loop. telnetting directly to the server shows that things are definately amiss, though the original problem may have been caused by a faulty client (Apple Mail or Outlook). My question at this point is how to unwedge the server. Is there a cache repair utility, or a list of files which shouldn't exist? I don't see this info on the Wiki. After sortinig this out, I'm going to install mysql, since this seems to be the more-tested installation. Will dovecot automatically rebuild my current databases or do i need to prepare for sql by hand? -SM-

[Dovecot] dovecot v1.0 rc7 hung up

It looks like the v.0 RC7 is still not stable. It hangs almost every day. This morning I found that pop3 was not working but imap was working. I know other times when dovecot stop working, neither pop3 and imap worked. I just want to know if other users are getting the same problem.

[Dovecot] (no subject)
by Joseph D. Wagner 24 Aug '06

Ok, I tried: sh -x /etc/rc.d/init.d/dovecot start and it started ok. Then I tried: sh /etc/rc.d/init.d/dovecot start and it started ok too. However, simply using: /etc/rc.d/init.d/dovecot start won't start. On a hunch, I disabled SELinux, and then: /etc/rc.d/init.d/dovecot start started ok. So I have an SELinux problem. Right now I'm doing a filesystem relabel. If that doesn't work, does anyone know where to go from here? Joseph D. Wagner

[Dovecot] Problems with dovecot 1.0rc5 + MySQL 5.0.24
by Daniel Torreblanca 24 Aug '06

24 Aug '06

Hi all, I'm having an intermittent problem logging users in through a webmail client (RoundCube). My maillog reports this: auth(default): vmysql: sql error[3]: MySQL server has gone away imap-login: Disconnected: user=<sales(a)coppersinkdepot.com>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured The MySQL server hasn't gone anywhere, I can log into it fine and other apps report no problems with it. Restarting Dovecot fixes this issue, but it'll just happen again later. I'm on OpenBSD 3.9 using vpopmail. I've looked through the mailing list archives but can't find any info on this specific problem. Any ideas?

Server is 1.0RC6 on CentOS 4 with maildir-sep set to ';' To reproduce: In your favourite mail client: 1. Create a top-level mail folder "atest" 2. Rename "atest" to "atest-extra" (basically hyphen<anything>) Result: Error about mailbox "atest-extra" does not exist If you refresh the folder list you see a new folder called "atest-extra-extra" (read all about it). Anyone else see this or is just me ?

[Dovecot] virtual user directories?
by Mike 23 Aug '06

23 Aug '06

I'm installing dovecot and hope to migrate my users from a POP3 system soon. I have the users in LDAP and LDAP is working, dovecot is using LDAP to authenticate my tests. What I'm trying to find is a setting when a user is authenticated by LDAP and dovecot, and that user directory does not exist in the location I have given for the private name space, I want dovecot to create the directory. Mentioning in a log that it created a directory is ok, but I want it to create the directory. I do not want to have to create the directories by hand (easy to do, I know, but that's not the point). Is there a way to tell dovecot to create any missing directories for authenticated users? Mike

[Dovecot] Maildir folder separator

Hi, There's been some demand from users to make it possible to use the period character (.) in folder names, but that is impossible when the folder separator is already period. Is there any possibility of replacing that which another separator, say a / ? -Mikko

[Dovecot] Problems with VersaMail on PalmOS
by Paul Tansom 23 Aug '06

23 Aug '06

I'm at the early stages of debugging this problem, but in case I can save some time because somebody else has already come across these issues I thought I'd try a quick post. I have an installation of Dovecot 0.99.14-1sarge0 from the Debian stable tree (so nothing cutting edge, but it's proving stable and reliable) that I am connecting to from a Palm TX with VersaMail 3.1C over IMAP. Sadly it doesn't display all the mail folders I have available and I'm not entirely sure why. So far I've not found a common link between which are displayed, and if I try renaming them then the ones displayed change - so I suspect there is a certain randomness to this. I am aware that it doesn't cope with subfolders, and all these are root folders. Some of the root folders are empty because they are simply acting as a container for other folders in case that is relevant. As I say I'm at the early stages, and I'm also looking at other Palm mail apps (but this came with it so it seemed a good starting point). I'll post more diagnostic details if I need help further down the line, but in the mean time if anyone has also seen this I'd be interested to hear any details. -- Paul Tansom | Aptanet Ltd. | http://www.aptanet.com

[Dovecot] Exempt mailboxes from indexing?
by B H 23 Aug '06

23 Aug '06

I looked through the wiki and the archives, but couldn't find an answer to this question. We use a webmail product that uses three dummy mbox dotfiles for storing configuration and temporary info. I'm trying to find a way to have dovecot's indexing ignore all dotfiles, and so far have had no luck (other than, of course, coding it in myself). Does anyone know if this is possible?

Hi, I've set up a dovecot server under redhat enterprise 4.3 with the basic configuration(mbox). Everything runs fine under webmail(squirrelmail) and thunderbird. When I try it under outlook/outlook express tough, it takes a couple of minutes after the authentication to get all headers where it takes a couple of seconds under thunderbird(both windows and linux version). I tried with these two versions with same results: dovecot-1.0.beta9 and dovecot-1.0.rc7 Any idea? Thanks for help and regards --

[Dovecot] 1.0 RC7 released

http://dovecot.org/releases/dovecot-1.0.rc7.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/dovecot-1.0.rc7.tar.gz.sig Can everyone now agree that there are no more hangs? :) * Require that Dovecot master process's version number matches the child process's, unless version_ignore=yes. Usually it's an accidental installation problem if the version numbers don't match. * Maildir: Create maildirfolder file when creating new maildirs. + ldap+prefetch: Use global uid/gid settings if LDAP query doesn't return them + %variables: Negative offsets count from the end of the string. Patch by Johannes Berg. - kqueue ioloop code rewrite - notify=kqueue might have caused connection hangs sometimes - deliver: If message body contained a valid mbox From_ line, it and the rest of the message was skipped. - mbox: We got into infinite loops if trying to open a 2 byte sized file as mbox. - Don't crash with ssl_disable=yes - quota plugin caused compiling problems with some OSes - mbox: After saving a mail to a synced mbox, we lost the sync which caused worse performance I think my v1.0 TODO list is: - avoid duplicate flag change notifications, or in case the message is also expunged don't bother notifying its flag changes at all (shouldn't be hard) - HFS+ avoid-hardlinks patch? - 32bit -> 64bit upgrade still doesn't work without assert-crashing: mail-cache-transaction.c: line 709 (mail_cache_add): assertion failed: (fixed_size == (unsigned int)-1 || fixed_size == data_size) - Courier-compatible INBOX. namespace gives "invalid namespace" errors I'm still not sure about the last one though. Could someone give me specific commands that clients send that causes it? As for the 32bit -> 64bit upgrade fix, could someone give me access to a x86-64 machine for a while to test it out?

[Dovecot] HMAC-MD5 / HMAC-MD5-context
by Chris Laif 23 Aug '06

23 Aug '06

$ dovecotpw -p testpass {HMAC-MD5}fe8522268d91e485ccac8f36800e4fa6b10363e2a371cfa61731109b450906cd I wonder if the prefix 'HMAC-MD5' is the correct notation here. According to RFC2104 an HMAC is calculated as follows: H(K XOR opad, H(K XOR ipad, text)) where H is the cryptographic hash function (MD5 in this case). Therefore the result has to be a 128 bit string, which is obviously not the case in the above shown example. In addition, the input value 'text' is missing if you only have a password K. Maybe it would be better to use {HMAC-MD5-CONTEXT} or {HMAC-MD5-CTX} ? Chris

[Dovecot] Can't Start dovecot from inetd
by Joseph D. Wagner 23 Aug '06

23 Aug '06

This one has me stumped. After upgrading from dovecot-1.0-beta8 to dovecot-1.0-rc6, I can't start dovecot from /etc/rc.d/init.d/dovecot. I can start dovecot directly from the command line (/usr/sbin/dovecot). I can still use /etc/rc.d/init.d/dovecot to query the status of dovecot and shutdown dovecot, but I can't use it to start dovecot. It just says "FAILED". diff scan of the two different versions of the /etc/rc.d/init.d/dovecot file says they're identical. Ideas? Joseph D. Wagner

[Dovecot] Please help, cant compile with mysql support
by Greg Deputy 22 Aug '06

22 Aug '06

I've been going round and round with this, and its driving me nuts. Previously, dovecot was erroring out during make due to some MySQL library issues. I thought I had that fixed, but now the compiled version I'm getting says it doesn't have MySQL support. I just started over, and noticed that ./configure is saying: Install prefix ...................... : /usr/local File offsets ........................ : 64bit I/O loop method ..................... : poll File change notification method ..... : dnotify Building with SSL support ........... : no Building with IPv6 support .......... : yes Building with pop3 server ........... : yes Building with mail delivery agent .. : yes Building with GSSAPI support ........ : no Building with user database modules . : static prefetch passwd passwd-file checkpassword sql (modules) Building with password lookup modules : passwd passwd-file shadow checkpassword sql (modules) Building with SQL drivers ............: I've tried running with: CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include/MySQL LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib ./configure --with-MySQL But same result. No MySQL support noted by ./configure. Any tips? Please help. Thanks.

[Dovecot] Dovecot 1.0rc7 quits without notice
by Chris Laif 22 Aug '06

22 Aug '06

Today I switched one of our servers from Courier (deployed 3-4y ago) to DCrc7. Everything seemed very nice (system load dropped significantly). Unfortunately after some time and ~8000 pop3-logins the main DC loop just quit without _any_ notice. Some pop3-login childs still showed up in the processlist, but the main listener on port 110 was gone. The above described scenario has been observed 2 times. Any suggestions are welcome.

[Dovecot] Filesystem Quota Enhancement Patch
by Scott Alter 22 Aug '06

22 Aug '06

I have just updated my patch that provides enhanced support for filesystem-based quotas in Dovecot. I provides 2 main features: * Support for group quotas * Number of messages quota for users of maildir If both user and group quotas are enabled on the filesystem, the plugin will report the quota that is closer to the maximum independently for both storage space and message count. The message count quota comes from the filesystem inode quota. This patch has been tested on Fedora Core only, but it should work on all other OSes. The only exception is there is no group support on Solaris (I believe this is a limitation of Sun's implementation of filesystem-based quotas). I believe this patch make Dovecot's filesystem-based quota support complete. So, after a little bit of testing, it would be nice to have this merged with the main distribution. Scott Alter

[Dovecot] messages_count too large errors (1.0RC5)
by Jeff Turner 22 Aug '06

22 Aug '06

Hi, Just today, Thunderbird started throwing errors when accessing a particular mail folder. Looking in the logs showed this: dovecot: Aug 09 15:36:31 Error: IMAP(nmenere): Corrupted index file /imap/mailboxes/nmenere/shared-settings/jira-support/index/.INBOX.Triaged/dovecot.index: messages_count too large (51 > 39) This is a new user's first attempt to access a shared jira-support/ folder, so there is no chance of their index files being corrupt. Deleting the dovecot* files didn't help. Neither did 'cp -rp .INBOX.Triaged .INBOX._Triaged' and then subscribing to the new folder. In fact, the problem seems to be with the files in cur/. There are 51 in total, and 39 of them have an 'i' flag: 1155084961.P27685Q5.redback.sydney.atlassian.com:2,Sbrk 1155084979.P27685Q6.redback.sydney.atlassian.com:2,Sbtk 1155085103.P27685Q10.redback.sydney.atlassian.com:2,Sbwk 1155085175.P28321Q1.redback.sydney.atlassian.com:2,Sbcki 1155085221.P27685Q12.redback.sydney.atlassian.com:2,Sbwk 1155085228.P28321Q4.redback.sydney.atlassian.com:2,Sbki 1155085231.P28321Q5.redback.sydney.atlassian.com:2,Sbki 1155085246.P28321Q6.redback.sydney.atlassian.com:2,Sbki Loading the maildir in mutt and re-saving them all to a clean maildir fixes the problem, by resetting the flags. Going through the logs, I see other users hitting this problem with other mailboxes. Anyone know what 'i' means? I guess it's a dovecot extension? I should mention that this happened a few months ago too, with 1.0b8 (I think). This is all running on a linux box, mail delivered with procmail, no special settings. Anyone seen this before? Cheers, Jeff

[Dovecot] Dovecot authorisation problem
by Phil Clare 21 Aug '06

21 Aug '06

Hi List, I am trying to set up dovecot on my mail server and am having some difficulties… I want to use virtual mailboxes and so have set up a passwd-file for userdb and passdb and created entries for a user but they don’t seem to be working… I have included the relevant lines from all three files below… Dovecot.conf… auth_userdb = passwd-file /etc/dovecot/users auth_passdb = passwd-file /etc/dovecot/passwd users file… HYPERLINK "mailto:phil@topazaccommodation.co.uk::503:503::/var/mail/vhosts/topazaccomm odation.co.uk:/bin/false"phil@topazaccommodation.co.uk::503:503::/var/mail/v hosts/topazaccommodation.co.uk:/bin/false:: passwd file… phil@topazaccommocation.co.uk:$1$G/FqlOG5$Vj0xmc9fKY.UVr8OWr/7C1 As far as I know the password is the word ‘test’ encrypted with MD5 (is there anyway to have these as plain text?) Finally the entry from the log file… Aug 18 16:51:58 95304-web1 dovecot-auth: passwd-file(phil(a)topazaccommodation.co.uk): unknown user Any ideas?

[Dovecot] dovecot vs qpopper performance testing results
by asko 21 Aug '06

21 Aug '06

Hi, I did some performance testing with dovecot and qpopper, if anyone is interested.. Hardware: Dual Xeon 2.8 with HT enabled (dmesg sees 4 cpu-s), 1 GB RAM, SCSI RAID 1 with 2x Maxtor Atlas 10K V disks. Software: CentOS 4.3, Qpopper 4.08 in standalone mode vs Dovecot 1.0-0_19.rc6, ext3 filesystem Mailbox format Mbox, tested Pop3 with PAM authentication My setup had 15 test users with 15 identical 40 MB mbox files. Each mbox had 370 messages, 35 % of them had attachments. So average message size is about 110 KB, average attachment size 220 KB. "rabid" utility is part of postal package (http://www.coker.com.au/postal/) Command line, which fetches and deletes all the messages from users in the textfile: rabid -p 1 192.168.x.x ./users - Resulting fields are: time,messages,data(K),errors,connections,SSL connections,IMAP connections Results (only the best one shown): Qpopper: 1 parallel processes: 12:36,1020,111470,0,6,0,0 5 parallel clients: 12:44,3246,366207,0,13,0,0 15 parallel clients: 13:06,4099,481347,0,48,0,0 Dovecot: p1: 12:19,3316,367859,0,13,0,0 p5: 12:50,4653,524456,0,34,0,0 p15: 12:56,5063,578889,0,84,0,0 As you can see, Dovecot is faster.. With 15 parallel processes it seems to have saturated my 100Mbit/s LAN (578889 kB data in one minute). Dovecot had noticeably smaller disk IO and system load was smaller too, probably thanks to smaller IO. Qpopper performed better than I hoped.. It is probably due fast disks of the test system, I wouldn't expect such numbers using single IDE disk. Conclusion: The hardware was too fast for testing, LAN became a bottleneck atleast once. The results could be different with different mbox structure.. Anyway, I was convinced, Dovecot wins. -- asko

Thanks, thanks, thanks! This, apparently, was the problem, and, once I figure out where to find the pkg-config source (not bundled with OSX?), following your instructions cleared it up. Again.

[Dovecot] Acl, Namespace, User Confusion
by Jim Horner 19 Aug '06

19 Aug '06

I'm using dovecot RC6. I have a group named "cmpymail" with 2 users "jdoe(a)arinbe.com" and "jsmith(a)arinbe.com". I set up a mail folders like: drwxrwx--- 4 cmpymail cmpymail 4096 2006-08-13 02:21 cmpymail drwxrwx--- 3 jdoe users 4096 2005-11-21 13:34 jdoe drwxrwx--- 3 jsmith users 4096 2006-08-13 02:27 jsmith drwxrwx--- 3 fred users 4096 2006-08-13 02:27 fred drwxrwx--- 3 wilma users 4096 2006-08-13 02:27 wilma In dovecot.conf namespace public { separator = . prefix = COMPANY. location = maildir:/home/services/mail/arinbe.com/company/Maildir:CONTROL=%h/shared-se… hidden = no } I have a dovecot-shared file -rw-rw---- 1 cmpymail cmpymail 0 2006-08-13 13:24 dovecot-shared What I can not do is restrict access to cmpymail to -just- jdoe and jsmith. I've looked at http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2006-June/013683.html I've tried adding mail_plugin_dir = /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugins = acl and a dovecot-acl file owner user=jdoe(a)arinbe.com lrwstiekxa user=jsmith(a)arinbe.com lrwstiekxa user=jdoe rwstiekxa user=jsmith lrwstiekxa I am not exactly sure what username to use. All users are in LDAP. The "cmpymail" group shows # getent group cmpymail:*:5555:jdoe,jsmith Nothing I do seems to work. I either get errors that wilma and fred can't access cmpymail, for instance when wilma/fred try to subscribe to folders, or wilma and fred have complete access to cmpymail (if I change cmpymail's group to users instead of cmpymail). Is there a way to restrict access like I want? Thanks, Jim

Dear Tim Schafer, Take a look at my sample dovecot-ldap.conf hosts = localhost dn = cn=root,dc=ceylonlinux,dc=com dnpass = secret ldap_version = 3 base = dc=ceylonlinux,dc=com deref = never scope = subtree user_attrs = mail,homeDirectory=mailMessageStore,uidNumber=1003,gidNumber=1003 user_filter = (&(objectClass=user)(mail=%u)) pass_attrs = mail=user,userPassword=password pass_filter = (&(objectClass=user)(mail=%u)) default_pass_scheme = CRYPT user_global_uid = 1003 user_global_gid = 1003 Here I am using my own schema called "user", but in your case change it to inetOrgPerson or the schema name you are using. I think the most common problem in this process is the ldap filter. Above in my configuration user_filter and pass_filter are used as ldap filters for querying user name and password. There I am using mail attribute. gid and uid are belong to the user vmail. May be this explanation will help you to figure out your problem You can refer my article in the following link for further reference http://www.ceylonlinux.com/pdf/openldap_backsql_postfix_maildir_cl.pdf Cheers!!!
