Note to all: If you are running Dovecot on a system where any of the mailboxes are nfs v4 mounted from a RHEL (or derivative) server DO NOT upgrade that server to an unpatched 2.6.18-164 kernel, it is very broken at this time. Not only will Dovecot fail but you're likely to have a myriad of other problems. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=523797 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=524520 > On Mon, 2009-10-05 at 10:30 -0400, vwc72283(a)voicenet.com wrote: >> So, it is reproducible.

Hello All, I am having difficulties in running dovecot with mysql accounts. The db worked but the config file is hardly something I could do to work properly as it should be, it does even not run saying various errors found in dovecot.conf Has anyone already built dovecot server to run with with a mysql base ? Could it be so that one sends me a conf file that shall work to help me ? Thanks. Jean-François

[Dovecot] Move messages marked as Spam
by Michel Bulgado 06 Oct '09

06 Oct '09

Hello I have implemented recently in my work bogofilter utility to mark messages as Spam or Ham, currently is working perfectly, but I want to move those messages marked as spam to a folder called spam. I installed dovecot-sieve with the intention of using fileinto to accomplish this. my question is: where I put this: require "fileinto"; if header :contains "X-Bogosity" "Spam" { fileinto "Spam"; } so that all messages that come to my users go into the spam folder? and how i handle messages that are marked as "Unsure" X-Bogosity: Unsure Thanks Michel

[Dovecot] Dovecot 1.2.4 - assertion crash in view_lookup_seq_range
by Brandon Davidson 06 Oct '09

06 Oct '09

Hi all, We have a number of machines running Dovecot 1.2.4 that have been assert crashing occasionally. It looks like it's occurring when the users expunge their mailboxes, but I'm not sure as I can't reproduce it myself. The error in the logs is: Oct 6 07:33:09 oh-popmap3p dovecot: imap: user=<YYYY>, rip=XXXX, pid=11931: Panic: file mail-index-view.c: line 264 (view_lookup_seq_range): assertion failed: (first_uid > 0) Oct 6 07:33:09 oh-popmap3p dovecot: imap: user=<YYYY>, rip=XXXX, pid=11931: Raw backtrace: imap [0x49e130] -> imap [0x49e193] -> imap [0x49d816] -> imap [0x47e462] -> imap(mail_index_lookup_seq+0x12) [0x47e022] -> imap(mail_index_view_sync_begin+0x36a) [0x47ffba] -> imap(index_mailbox_sync_init+0x7f) [0x45e56f] -> imap(maildir_storage_sync_init+0x100) [0x43cb70] -> imap(imap_sync_init+0x67) [0x428177] -> imap(cmd_sync_delayed+0x174) [0x4283c4] -> imap(client_handle_input+0x19e) [0x420a0e] -> imap(client_input+0x5f) [0x4213ff] -> imap(io_loop_handler_run+0xf8) [0x4a5e98] -> imap(io_loop_run+0x1d) [0x4a4fad] -> imap(main+0x620) [0x428cc0] -> /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf4) [0x323dc1d994] -> imap [0x4199f9] Oct 6 07:33:09 oh-popmap3p dovecot: dovecot: child 11931 (imap) killed with signal 6 (core dumped) GDB stack information and some additional details are available here: http://uoregon.edu/~brandond/dovecot-1.2.4/stack.txt We are planning to go to 1.2.6 sometime in the next week or two, but I thought I'd try to track this particular error down just in case it's still an issue after the upgrade. -Brad

[Dovecot] dovecot 1.2.5 - can't create auth listener
by dovecot＠nro.ca 06 Oct '09

06 Oct '09

Hi. I have version 1.1.11 working fine with multiple servers. When I upgrade to 1.2.4 or 1.2.5 I keep getting an error 'can't create auth listener' (address in use) I have two ip addresses (lets call them 1.0.0.1 and 1.0.0.2). Each ip address has it's own certificate and set of servers with custom ports. I don't know how the configuration is supposed to work and it was a lot of google and trial and error to get it working. My configuration file is pretty basic so maybe someone can point out where I'm going wrong. I stripped out the few comments and unrelated settings. #listen = * disable_plaintext_auth = no ssl_ca_file = myca.crt protocol lda { postmaster_address = postmaster(a)example.com } server a1 { protocols = pop3 ssl_cert_file = a1.crt ssl_key_file = a1.key listen = 1.0.0.2:110 1.0.0.2:111 auth default { mechanisms = plain passdb pam { } userdb passwd { }}} server a2 { protocols = pop3s ssl_cert_file = a1.crt ssl_key_file = a1.key listen = 1.0.0.2:995 auth default { mechanisms = plain passdb pam { } userdb passwd { }}} server n1 { protocols = pop3 ssl_cert_file = n1.crt ssl_key_file = n1.key listen = 127.0.0.1:110 127.0.0.1:111 1.0.0.1:110 1.0.0.1:111 auth default { mechanisms = plain passdb pam { } userdb passwd { }}} server n2 { protocols = pop3s ssl_cert_file = n1.crt ssl_key_file = n1.key listen = 127.0.0.1:995 1.0.0.1:995 auth default { mechanisms = plain passdb pam { } userdb passwd { }}} ...and repeat for imap, imaps Thanks, Sean

[Dovecot] Debugging IMAP ACLs
by Kerem Erciyes 06 Oct '09

06 Oct '09

Hello, I upgraded my server to 1.2.4 and now I'm trying to implement ACL support to use with Bynari Insight Connector. Starting out with the wiki page on shared namespaces from http://wiki.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Shared I tried to implement shared mailbox support so that my customers can enjoy more exhange-like qualities with outlook. However I am not sure if the ACLs or Shared Namespaces are really working. I sure would like some help debugging ACL requests by clients, and the configuration I did. Thanks, Kerem Here is the run down of my configuration, if I have screwed up somewhere. *dovecot -n* # 1.2.4: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf # OS: FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE i386 base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/ log_path: /var/log/dovecot.log info_log_path: /var/log/dovecot-debug.log protocols: imap imaps pop3 pop3s disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /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: Kupyazilim IMAPS/POP3S Server - Dovecot ready. verbose_proctitle: yes first_valid_uid: 100 first_valid_gid: 6 mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: mbox:~/mail/:INBOX=/usr/home/vmail/%d/%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_plugins(default): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(imap): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(pop3): quota 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): pop3_client_workarounds(default): pop3_client_workarounds(imap): pop3_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh namespace: type: private separator: / inbox: yes list: yes subscriptions: yes namespace: type: shared separator: / prefix: shared/%%u/ location: mbox:/usr/home/vmail/%d/%u:INDEX=/usr/home/vmail/shared/%%u list: children lda: postmaster_address: postmaster(a)kupyazilim.com.tr mail_plugins: quota log_path: /var/log/dovecot-deliver.log info_log_path: /var/log/dovecot-deliver.log auth default: mechanisms: plain login user: nobody passdb: driver: sql args: /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: sql args: /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: prefetch socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: mail master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 432 user: vmail group: mail plugin: acl_shared_dict: proxy::acl dict: quota: maildir:storage=10240:messages=1000 trash: /usr/local/etc/trash.conf acl: mysql:/usr/local/etc/dovecot-dict-sql.conf * cat /usr/local/etc/dovecot-acl.conf * # mail_location copied from dovecot.conf for reference only # # mail_location: mbox:~/mail/:INBOX=/usr/home/vmail/%d/%u # note: it is %d/%u here but only %u in dovecot-sql.conf # You need to create also a private namespace: namespace private { separator = / prefix = #location defaults to mail_location. inbox = yes } namespace shared { separator = / prefix = shared/%%u/ #location = maildir:%%h/Maildir:INDEX=~/Maildir/shared/%%u location = mbox:/usr/home/vmail/%d/%u:INDEX=/usr/home/vmail/shared/%%u subscriptions = no list = children } # Set ACL to SQL Server and Reference sql-dictionary # Table implemented in mysql:/postfix/user_shares plugin { acl_shared_dict = proxy::acl } dict { acl = mysql:/usr/local/etc/dovecot-dict-sql.conf } *cat /usr/local/etc/dovecot-dict-sql.conf * map { pattern = shared/shared-boxes/user/$to/$from table = user_shares value_field = dummy fields { from_user = $from to_user = $to } } -- Kerem Erciyes Sistem Danismani http://proje.keremerciyes.com kerem.erciyes(a)gmail.com +90 532 737 05 83

[Dovecot] issues with ACL and Public Namespaces
by Anton Dollmaier 06 Oct '09

06 Oct '09

Hi all, after configuring dovecot to serve private and Public Namespaces per domain with ACLs per shared folder, everything worked great: In every shared folder I created a "dovecot-acl"-file with the permissions of every user: > user=user5(a)example.com > user=user6(a)example.com lrwstiea The subscriptions are handled with "subscriptions=no", so every local User can subscribe to shared folders as he likes. As the shared folders are managed via webinterface, the cronjob creating and deleting the folders also changes the subscriptions of every user, adding or removing the public folders as permissions are granted. RoundCube Webmail, Thunderbird and Outlook have no problems accessing and using the public folders, but a customer has problems with his Mac: In Apple Mail the folders are not visible, even when subscriptions are previously set in another mailclient. In RoundCube, I spottet another issue: subscribed public folders are usable in the "Mail"-area, but no public folder is listed in the "Folder"-settings - not even the already subscribed ones. Setting "list=yes" to the public namespace, RC lists only the prefix "shared" as a folder, but no subfolders - "list=children" shows no folder at all. As I checked the rawlog and debug-infos with "mail_debug=yes", I saw the possible cause for my problems: When checking the Folder Subscriptions in RoundCube, Dovecot tries to find an ACL file for the public folders, but does not check the public folders, but in the private Maildir: > Oct 6 15:24:16 ipx02 dovecot: IMAP(user6(a)example.com): Loading modules from directory:

possible bug related to ACL and Public Namespaces, or do I have to create the public folders also in the local Maildir and symlink the dovecot-acl to the public folder? With the symlinks in place (per Folder), dovecot finds the ACL-files and lists the folders also in RoundCube's "Folder"-pane and Apple Mail finds the public folders too. Upgrading to 1.2.5 failed so far, as my build-server has problems with automake, have to look into this too.

[Dovecot] v1.2.6 released
by Timo Sirainen 06 Oct '09

06 Oct '09

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/dovecot-1.2.6.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/dovecot-1.2.6.tar.gz.sig A couple of random things: - I decided to start using "hg sign" to gpg sign all releases in mercurial repository. - v2.0.alpha1 will hopefully be released in a week or two. Changes since 1.2.5: * Upgraded to Unicode 5.2.0 + Added authtest utility for doing passdb and userdb lookups. + login: ssl_security string now also shows the used compression. - quota: Don't crash with non-Maildir++ quota backend. - imap proxy: Fixed crashing with some specific password characters. - dovecot --exec-mail was broken. - Avoid assert-crashing when two processes try to create index at the same time.

[Dovecot] Proxy setup & upgrade from 1.0.3 to 1.1.7
by Adrian Wojcicki | Unternehmensberatung Wojcicki 06 Oct '09

06 Oct '09

Hi guys! I hope somebody can help me with my problem: We have a server running dovecot and proxying IMAPS connections to our internal network. This worked so far very good until we upgraded the server to a new SUSE Linux version and with it dovecot from version 1.0.3 to 1.1.7. My guess is that something changed in the way dovecot reads the user file as the configuration stayed the same: dovecot.conf: base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/ protocols = imaps disable_plaintext_auth = yes ssl_cert_file = /<pathtocertificate> ssl_key_file = /<pathtocertificate> ssl_disable = no ssl_listen = 80.149.64.98:993 log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log login_dir = /var/run/dovecot/login login_process_per_connection = yes login_processes_count = 3 login_greeting = main.xbdx.de IMAP What can we do for you? imap_client_workarounds = tb-extra-mailbox-sep mail_debug = no auth_debug = yes auth_cache_size = 4096 auth_cache_ttl = 7200 auth_worker_max_count = 30 auth default { userdb static { args = uid=5000 gid=5000 } passdb { driver = passwd-file args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot.passdb } socket listen { client { path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode = 0660 user = postfix group = postfix } } mechanisms = plain login user = root count = 1 } dovecot.passdb: testuser1:::::::host=<internalip> port=143 nodelay=y nologin=y proxy=y testuser2:::::::host=<internalip> port=143 nodelay=y nologin=y proxy=y dovecot.log: dovecot: Oct 06 10:37:26 Info: Dovecot v1.1.7 starting up dovecot: Oct 06 10:37:26 Info: auth(default): passwd-file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.passdb: Read 2 users dovecot: Oct 06 10:37:27 Info: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=8135 dovecot: Oct 06 10:37:27 Info: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=8136 dovecot: Oct 06 10:37:27 Info: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=8137 dovecot: Oct 06 10:37:39 Info: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=8139 dovecot: Oct 06 10:37:39 Info: auth(default): client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=imap secured lip=80.149.64.98 rip=217.91.33.32 lport=993 rport=61752 resp=<hidden> dovecot: Oct 06 10:37:39 Info: auth(default): cache(adrian.wojcicki,217.91.33.32): miss dovecot: Oct 06 10:37:39 Info: auth(default): passwd-file(testuser1,217.91.33.32): lookup: user=testuser1 file=/etc/dovecot/dovecot.passdb dovecot: Oct 06 10:37:39 Info: auth(default): passwd-file(testuser1,217.91.33.32): Password mismatch dovecot: Oct 06 10:37:41 Info: auth(default): client out: FAIL 1 user=testuser1 host=<internalip> port=143 nologin proxy pass=<hidden> dovecot: Oct 06 10:37:41 Info: imap-login: Aborted login (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=<testuser1>, method=PLAIN, rip=217.91.33.32, lip=80.149.64.98, TLS Thanks!
