[Dovecot] Redundant timers
by Anders 25 Feb '08

25 Feb '08

Hello. I am on an irrational crusade against unneeded timers (it started as a well-meaining power saving exercise), and I have now started removing polling in Dovecot. Attached is a patch with the work I did on this the other night. Would something like that be acceptable, or should I make it in a different way? There seems to be no one-shot timer support, right? Is there a Dovecot coding style document? (I did notice that there appears to be an 80 char width that I exceeded) Cheers, Anders

[Dovecot] 1.1beta14 cache bug ?

22 Feb '08

Helo all, After enable auth_cache_size = 20480 and auth_cache_ttl = 0, dovecot stops working for users that are in cache. See the log bellow: 1 - POP3 session OK jan 22 14:02:59 mailserver--03 dovecot: auth(default): client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=pop3 lip=10.0.149.3 rip=10.0.2.2 resp=<hidden> Jan 22 14:02:59 mailserver--03 dovecot: auth(default): cache(teste2(a)xxxx.com.br,10.0.2.2): miss Jan 22 14:02:59 mailserver--03 dovecot: auth(default): ldap(teste2(a)xxxx.com.br,10.0.2.2): bind search: base=ou=xxxx.com.br,ou=accounts,o=comMail filter=(&(objectClass=qmailUser)(mail=teste2(a)xxxx.com.br)(!(accountStatus=disabled))) Jan 22 14:02:59 mailserver--03 dovecot: auth(default): ldap(teste2(a)xxxx.com.br,10.0.2.2): result: mailMessageStore(userdb_home)=/data/services/dominios/xxxx.com.br/t/te/teste2/ mailHostAddress(host)=10.0.149.3 mailQuotaSize(userdb_quota_rule=*:bytes)=2048576000 uid(user)=teste2(a)xxxx.com.br qmailGID(userdb_gid)=1033 qmailUID(proxy_maybe)=1033 Jan 22 14:02:59 mailserver--03 dovecot: auth(default): client out: OK 1 user=teste2(a)xxxx.com.br Jan 22 14:02:59 mailserver--03 dovecot: auth(default): master in: REQUEST 1 3085 1 Jan 22 14:02:59 mailserver--03 dovecot: auth(default): prefetch(teste2(a)xxxx.com.br,10.0.2.2): success Jan 22 14:02:59 mailserver--03 dovecot: auth(default): master out: USER 1 teste2(a)xxxx.com.br home=/data/services/dominios/xxxx.com.br/t/te/teste2/ quota_rule=*:bytes=2048576000 gid=1033 Jan 22 14:02:59 mailserver--03 dovecot: pop3-login: Login: user=<teste2(a)xxxx.com.br>, method=PLAIN, rip=10.0.2.2, lip=10.0.149.3 Jan 22 14:02:59 mailserver--03 dovecot: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=3085 Jan 22 14:02:59 mailserver--03 dovecot: POP3(teste2(a)xxxx.com.br): Loading modules from directory: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3 Jan 22 14:02:59 mailserver--03 dovecot: POP3(teste2(a)xxxx.com.br): Module loaded: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3/lib10_quota_plugin.so Jan 22 14:02:59 mailserver--03 dovecot: POP3(teste2(a)xxxx.com.br): Effective uid=1033, gid=1033 Jan 22 14:02:59 mailserver--03 dovecot: POP3(teste2(a)xxxx.com.br): Quota root: name= backend=maildir args= Jan 22 14:02:59 mailserver--03 dovecot: POP3(teste2(a)xxxx.com.br): Quota rule: root= mailbox= bytes=2048576000 messages=0 Jan 22 14:02:59 mailserver--03 dovecot: POP3(teste2(a)xxxx.com.br): Namespace: type=private, prefix=INBOX., sep=, inbox=yes, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes Jan 22 14:02:59 mailserver--03 dovecot: POP3(teste2(a)xxxx.com.br): maildir: data=/data/services/dominios/xxxx.com.br/t/te/teste2//Maildir Jan 22 14:02:59 mailserver--03 dovecot: POP3(teste2(a)xxxx.com.br): maildir++: root=/data/services/dominios/xxxx.com.br/t/te/teste2//Maildir, index=, control=, inbox=/data/services/dominios/xxxx.com.br/t/te/teste2//Maildir Jan 22 14:03:02 mailserver--03 dovecot: POP3(teste2(a)xxxx.com.br): Disconnected: Logged out top=0/0, retr=0/0, del=0/3012, size=534868620 2 - POP3 session fail Jan 22 14:03:08 mailserver--03 dovecot: auth(default): client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=pop3 lip=10.0.149.3 rip=10.0.2.2 resp=<hidden> Jan 22 14:03:08 mailserver--03 dovecot: auth(default): cache(teste2(a)xxxx.com.br,10.0.2.2): hit Jan 22 14:03:08 mailserver--03 dovecot: auth(default): client out: OK 1 user=teste2(a)xxxx.com.br host=10.0.149.3 proxy pass=<hidden> Jan 22 14:03:08 mailserver--03 dovecot: pop3-login: Login: user=<teste2(a)xxxx.com.br>, method=PLAIN, rip=10.0.2.2, lip=10.0.149.3 Jan 22 14:03:08 mailserver--03 dovecot: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=3078 server01:~# telnet 10.0.145.3 110 Trying 10.0.145.3...

[Dovecot] Apple Mail for 10.4/Shadow/SSL -> Problem.
by Phredd Groves 14 Feb '08

14 Feb '08

I have recently gotten Dovecot running on my Solaris 5.8 mail server in order to replace UW IMAP. I'm currently testing it out with mail clients popular amongst my users. It's been working very well, with one vital exception. Apple Mail on OS X 10.4 is not completing authentication (I don't think it's even getting that far). All I'm seeing in the syslog for attempts with Apple Mail (for both IMAP and POP3) is a single line per attempt: Jan 29 17:20:01 paradox dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.info] imap-login: Disconnected: rip=X.X.X.X, lip=Y.Y.Y.Y, TLS handshake This is even with verbose for auth and for SSL. I know syslog plays well with mail.warning and mail.debug and mail.notice, so I'm not quite sure what's going on there. Nothing shows up in authlog or messages either. The OS X 10.5 Apple mail client works just fine, as do Thunderbird and even Eudora. There did not seem to be any coverage of this when I googled and went through the dovecot archives, so I'm thinking it might be some weird interaction between that particular client and the SSL/shadow implementation in dovecot (Things work in UW IMAP for the client). Any suggestions? thanks! # /usr/local/sbin/dovecot -n # 1.0.10: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf protocols: imaps pop3s ssl_listen(default): *:997 ssl_listen(imap): *:997 ssl_listen(pop3): *:998 ssl_cert_file: /usr/local/ssl/certs/imapd.pem ssl_key_file: /usr/local/ssl/certs/imapd.pem verbose_ssl: yes shutdown_clients: no login_dir: /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login login_greeting_capability(default): no login_greeting_capability(imap): no login_greeting_capability(pop3): yes first_valid_uid: 100 mail_location: mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u mail_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3 imap_client_workarounds(default): outlook-idle delay-newmail tb-extra-mailbox-sep imap_client_workarounds(imap): outlook-idle delay-newmail tb-extra-mailbox-sep imap_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-idle pop3_uidl_format(default): pop3_uidl_format(imap): pop3_uidl_format(pop3): %08Xv%08Xu pop3_client_workarounds(default): pop3_client_workarounds(imap): pop3_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh auth default: verbose: yes passdb: driver: shadow userdb: driver: passwd Phredd Groves -- Systems Administrator Psychology Department Columbia University [212] 854-8167

[Dovecot] Static list of users with passdb pam
by Koen Vermeer 07 Feb '08

07 Feb '08

Hi, On my system, I want to provide imap access for some of the users listed in /etc/passwd. The list of users should be provided by me, and should just be a list in a text file. All the userdb options are static (uid, gid, home directory). Unfortunately, I cannot think of a way to configure Dovecot to do this. The closest I get is with: passdb pam {} userdb passwd-file { args = /path/to/passwd-file } However, the passwd-file is now more complex than it really needs to be, as it includes fields for password, uid, gid and home directory as well. Is there some way to handle this? Or am I trying to do something stupid? Thanks! Koen

[Dovecot] appending domain based on port
by Eric Hester 04 Feb '08

04 Feb '08

I am looking for a way to append a domain to unqualified user names based on the port that the client connected to. Like this: port 9110 - @test.com port 9111 - @other.com port 9112 - @third.com it looks like auth-default-realm does this, but you can only specify it once for the whole process. I know I could do this by running a separate copy of dovecot attached to each port in question, but I would like to do it all in one process if possible. Other questions I have, if I use the auth-default-realm: 1) does it happen before auth lookup I assume? 2) do I have to define the domain i use here as an auth-realm in addition to default?

[Dovecot] Postfix, mailbox_command, Dovecot deliver, LDAP and mail_location
by Patrick Ben Koetter 02 Feb '08

02 Feb '08

I am trying to tell Dovecot deliver to use $mail_location as the location to store mail for system users. From the docs I've read <http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailLocation> I believe this is possible, but mail to my system users always gets delivered to their /home/<USERNAME> homedirectory. Here's what I've done so far: # Postfix main.cf mailbox_command = /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver # Dovecot # dovecot-ldap.conf user_attrs = mailHomeDirectory=home,mailUidNumber=uid,mailGidNumber=gid,mailQuota=quota=maildir:storage,mail=mailHomeDirectory Above you can see, I query for $mail as documented in <http://wiki.dovecot.org/UserDatabase>. # dovecot.conf # dovecot -n # 1.0.5: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: imap imaps pop3 pop3s ssl_cert_file: /etc/ssl/mail.state-of-mind.de.crt ssl_key_file: /etc/ssl/private/mail.state-of-mind.de.key disable_plaintext_auth: no 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_capability(default): yes login_greeting_capability(imap): yes login_greeting_capability(pop3): no mail_extra_groups: mail mail_location: maildir:~ mail_debug: yes maildir_copy_with_hardlinks: yes mail_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugins(default): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(imap): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(pop3): quota 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 imap_client_workarounds(default): outlook-idle netscape-eoh delay-newmail imap_client_workarounds(imap): outlook-idle netscape-eoh delay-newmail imap_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-idle pop3_uidl_format(default): pop3_uidl_format(imap): pop3_uidl_format(pop3): %08Xu%08Xv pop3_client_workarounds(default): pop3_client_workarounds(imap): pop3_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh auth default: mechanisms: plain login digest-md5 cram-md5 ntlm passdb: driver: ldap args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf userdb: driver: ldap args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf socket: type: listen master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 user: virtual group: virtual What am I missing?

[Dovecot] Dovecot, LDAP and something akin to Postfix' "table search order" from virtual deliver.
by Pawel Sawicki 01 Feb '08

01 Feb '08

Hi. /* The short version. */ Is there a way to mimic Postfix' "table search order" in Dovecot's LDAP configuration of pass_filter/user_filter? /* Here goes the detailed description :) */ Just to quote the http://www.postfix.org/virtual.8.html: --- TABLE SEARCH ORDER (...) The search order is as follows. The search stops upon the first successful lookup. (...) o The user(a)domain.tld address, without address exten- sion, is looked up next. o Finally, the recipient @domain is looked up. --- Basicaly this allows to have separate users assigned addresses like j.doe(a)example.com (first account), j.smith(a)example.com (second account) and at the same time to have a "catch all" anything(a)example.com mailbox (for the administrator e.g.). What do I need it for? To have dovecot-lda working. Why? I want Sieve :) The test data may look as follows: account #1: + mail: j.doe(a)example.com + mailAlternateAddress: j.c.doe(a)example.com account #2: + mail: j.smith(a)example.com + mailAlternateAddress: j.t.smith(a)example.com account #3 (administrator): + mail: bofh(a)example.com + mailAlternateAddress: @example.com (means - anything possible) The filter I used is (more or less - for both pass_filter and user_filter): (|(mail=%u)(mailAlternateAddress=%u)(mailAlternateAddress=@%d)) Just for testing purposes I've stripped off some irrelevant data (like checking if the account is active), since that made the filter about 140 characters long ;) The trouble is when there're both a "catch all" and a true account that are linked to different accounts. As an example, if I try to send mail to "j.doe(a)example.com" I receive: dovecot: auth(default): ldap(j.doe(a)example.com): Multiple replies found for user Which is of course true, since the filter returns "account #2" and "account #3". What I'd like to get? I'd like to set the filter to: (|(mail=%u)(mailAlternateAddress=%u)) Where "%u" is expanded to "j.doe(a)example.com" during the first run Then, if dovecot can't find any user that would match this literaly it should retry the search operation, but now with "@example.com" as the "%u". I've tried to fiddle with the filter itself, but I see any reasonable way of doing it. I don't even know if it is possible at all. Could anyone give me a hint? Or maybe it's already on someone's whish list? Some final info. * I've followed the examples on dovecot.org website: http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA#head-dacb9b9a1f19c3ea86bb6f8caa3d64e3ddad9ef8 * Here's the dovecot's master.conf entry: dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=mail:mail argv=/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d ${recipient} Best regards!
