[Dovecot] Help with mysql-dspam-plugin
by Rob Klingsten 04 Mar '07

04 Mar '07

Hello folks -- I'm using Debian etch and I've got Mysql 5.0, Dovecot 1.0rc15 and DSpam 3.6.8... I've downloaded the mysql-dspam-plugin code, and it builds without errors. But when trying to start Dovecot I get: Starting mail server: dovecotIEffective uid=65534, gid=65534 ILoading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap Emodule /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap/lib_dspam.so: dlsym(dspam_init) failed: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap/lib_dspam.so: undefined symbol: dspam_init Error: imap dump-capability process returned 89 Any help with how to fix this would be great! I'm not really a programmer so I'm not quite sure where to look... thanks!! Rob Klingsten

[Dovecot] Dovecot ignoring Quotas
by Frank Doege 03 Mar '07

03 Mar '07

Hi, i have installed the dovecot 1.0rc25 and everything is working well. I have connected it to a postgresql database. Now to my little problem: Postfix is delivering into a maildir folder with active maildirquota patches, and this is working well. The problem is only that dovecot is not recognizing the maildirquota file at all. I have configured it as in the documentation with Plugin { Quota=maildir } Anyone any idea ? maybe this is a bug ? Thanks

[Dovecot] Using auth_bind_userdn causes uid to be improper case
by Aaron Luchko 03 Mar '07

03 Mar '07

I'm having a problem with dovecot-1.0-1.1.rc15.fc6 + LDAP + auth_bind_userdb. I have the following /etc/dovecot.conf: mail_location = maildir:/var/spool/mail/%u/ protocols = imap pop3 mail_log_prefix = "%Us(%u):%i:%h " first_valid_uid = 5001 first_valid_gid = 5001 protocol imap { } protocol pop3 { } protocol lda { postmaster_address = postmaster(a)example.com } auth_verbose = yes auth_debug = yes auth default { mechanisms = plain userdb ldap { args = /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf } passdb ldap { args = /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf } user = root } dict { } plugin { } and /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf: hosts = driveable.example.com base = dc=example,dc=com #dn = cn=Directory Manager #dnpass = password auth_bind_userdn = uid=%u, ou=People, dc=example, dc=com uris = ldap://127.0.0.1 user_attrs = mail user_filter = uid=%u user_global_uid = 5001 user_global_gid = 5001 pass_filter = uid=%u The problem is that if we have an entry in LDAP, User Name, with the uid UName, postfix stores the users mail in /var/spool/mail/UName If I log into dovecot using uname (LDAP uid isn't case sensitive) than dovecot tries to look in /var/spool/mail/uname, similarly if I log in with unAME dovecot will look in /var/spool/unAME. However, if instead of using auth_bind_userdn = uid=%u, ou=People, dc=example, dc=com I bind with dn = cn=Directory Manager dnpass = password than it correctly looks in /var/spool/UName regardless of the case used when logging in. It seems like when I log in with auth_bind_userdn %u is being left as the value I logged in with rather than being reloaded from LDAP. I was wondering if I have made some mistake in the configuration files to cause this behaviour or if something else is going on? thanks, Aaron

[Dovecot] automaticly move expunded emails to trash Folder
by Wilfried BARNAVON (Perso) 03 Mar '07

03 Mar '07

Hi I try to migrate from courier to Dovecot. Is there a way to get the same behaviour of Courier-imap with dovecot, about expunged emails ? I though about using the Lazy-Expunge plugin. The problem with this plugin is the following: messages are moved and set to be deleted in the Trash Folder. I would like they weren't set to be deleted. Is there a way to mitigate the behaviour of this plugin, or is there another plugin having this task in charge ? Thanks Wilfried BARNAVON

[Dovecot] Struggle with Postfix/Dovecot-auth and SASL
by Ingo Reimann 03 Mar '07

03 Mar '07

Hi List, I just updated an old sendmail installation to a modern postfix/dovecot system with mysql backend. Everything works fine but SMTP-AUTH fails with some clients. The problem is, that with PLAIN (old) clients send the base64 coded form: USERNAME\0USERNAME\0PASSWORD which, as i understand dovecot interprets as MASTERUSER\0USERNAME\PASSWORD. New clients send \0USERNAME\0PASSWORD which works fine. I don`t like to use masterusers, because then everyone would be able to log in as someone else. When i don`t have a passdb with master=yes in my dovecot.conf, Dovecot complains auth(default): passdb(XXXX(a)YYY.TLD,master): Attempted master login with no master passdbs If i create a passdb with contains everyone, everyone may look into other mailboxes. No good idea. I can`t change the old clients, but for now, i don`t know, what i am doing wrong or how to correct it. No real HowTo for my setup on the net, it seems that everyone uses cyrus-sasl. May anybody help, because i don`t like to switch my setup or use 2 auth daemons. My System: Debian Etch, postfix (2.3.7-3), dovecot (1.0.rc15-2) Best wishes, Ingo Reimann System Manager -------------------------------------------------------------------- ICSmedia GmbH in Münster: Soester Straße 13, 48155 Münster in Dortmund: Mönchenwordt 5, 44137 Dortmund im Internet: http://www.icsmedia.de Telefon: (0251) 60 60-403 Telefax: (0251) 60 60-190 E-Mail: ingo.reimann(a)icsmedia.de -------------------------------------------------------------------- Geschäftsführung: Frank Wulf Sitz der Gesellschaft: Münster Amtsgericht: Münster HRB: 46 97
