[Dovecot] Strange config behaviour while using /etc/dovecot/auth.d/somename.auth
by Mark Alan 04 Dec '10

While using Ubuntu 10.10 + Dovecot 1.2.12 + Postfix 2.7.1-1: To export the authentication interface to Postfix, besides the usual smtpd_sasl_* lines at postfix, I am using: the following /etc/dovecot/auth.d/somename.auth file: socket listen { client { path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth-client mode = 0660 user = postfix group = postfix } } But after restarting dovecot and doing a 'sudo dovecot -n' I get: ... socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/… [View More]

[Dovecot] Passwords not returned without auth_bind ?
by Mohit Chawla 04 Dec '10

Hi, Maybe I am missing something simple, but I can't get users authenticated using password lookups, as opposed to auth_bind. This is how the log looks like when using password lookup: dovecot: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=2449 dovecot: auth(default): client in: AUTH#0111#011PLAIN#011service=imap#011secured#011lip=127.0.0.1#011rip=127.0.0.1#011lport=143#011rport=43458#011resp=<hidden> dovecot: auth(default): ldap(foo,127.0.0.1): pass search: base=uid=foo,ou=people,dc=djb,dc=… [View More]hell,dc=qua scope=base filter=(accountStatus=noaccess) fields=(none) slapd[1834]: conn=1083 op=1 SRCH base="uid=foo,ou=people,dc=djb,dc=hell,dc=qua" scope=0 deref=0 filter="(accountStatus=noaccess)" slapd[1834]: conn=1083 op=1 SRCH attr=(none) slapd[1834]: conn=1083 op=1 SEARCH RESULT tag=101 err=0 nentries=0 text= dovecot: auth(default): ldap(foo,127.0.0.1): unknown user dovecot: auth(default): ldap(foo,127.0.0.1): pass search: base=ou=people,dc=djb,dc=hell,dc=qua scope=subtree filter=(accountStatus=active) fields=uid,userPassword,homeDirectory,uidNumber,gidNumber,mailQuotaSize slapd[1834]: conn=1084 op=1 SRCH base="ou=people,dc=djb,dc=hell,dc=qua" scope=2 deref=0 filter="(accountStatus=active)" slapd[1834]: conn=1084 op=1 SRCH attr=uid userPassword homeDirectory uidNumber gidNumber mailQuotaSize dovecot: auth(default): ldap(foo,127.0.0.1): result: uid(user)=foo uidNumber(userdb_uid)=1008 gidNumber(userdb_gid)=1008 homeDirectory(userdb_home)=/home/foo mailQuotaSize(userdb_quota_rule=*:bytes=%$)=*:bytes=10000000 dovecot: auth(default): ldap(foo,127.0.0.1): No password returned (and no nopassword) slapd[1834]: conn=1084 op=1 SEARCH RESULT tag=101 err=0 nentries=1 text= dovecot: auth(default): client out: FAIL#0111#011user=foo *dovecot-ldap.pass* uris = ldap://10.5.3.101 dn = uid=dove,ou=people,dc=djb,dc=hell,dc=qua dnpass = debian auth_bind = no ldap_version = 3 base = ou=people,dc=djb,dc=hell,dc=qua scope = subtree pass_filter = (accountStatus=active) pass_attrs = uid=user,userPassword=password,\ homeDirectory=userdb_home,uidNumber=userdb_uid,gidNumber=userdb_gid,mailQuotaSize=userdb_quota_rule=*:bytes=%$ *dovecot-ldap.deny* uris = ldap://10.5.3.101 ldap_version = 3 base = uid=%u,ou=people,dc=djb,dc=hell,dc=qua scope = base auth_bind = no pass_filter = (accountStatus=noaccess) pass_attrs = (none) *dovecot.conf* # 1.2.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-3-686 i686 Debian squeeze/sid log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: imap managesieve listen(default): * listen(imap): * listen(managesieve): *:2000 ssl: no 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(managesieve): /usr/lib/dovecot/managesieve-login mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir mbox_write_locks: fcntl dotlock mail_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(managesieve): /usr/lib/dovecot/managesieve mail_plugins(default): quota mail_plugins(imap): quota mail_plugins(managesieve): mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(managesieve): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/managesieve managesieve_logout_format(default): bytes=%i/%o managesieve_logout_format(imap): bytes=%i/%o managesieve_logout_format(managesieve): bytes=%i%o lda: postmaster_address: bar(a)djb.hell.qua mail_plugins: quota sieve deliver_log_format: msgid=%m: %$ sendmail_path: /usr/lib/sendmail log_path: /var/log/ldaone info_log_path: /var/log/ldatwo debug: yes auth default: debug: yes passdb: driver: ldap args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.deny deny: yes passdb: driver: ldap args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.pass userdb: driver: prefetch userdb: driver: ldap args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.user socket: type: listen master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 438 plugin: quota: maildir sieve: ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir: ~/sieve [View Less]

[Dovecot] SIS errors - was Error from mobile client (Palm Pre)
by Daniel L. Miller 04 Dec '10

04 Dec '10

Continuing to see errors on this with some new messages. Is it possible this has anything to do with zlib plugin, or possibly having a mix of zlib compressed & uncompressed messages with mdbox? I recently added zlib to deliver plugin list. -- Daniel L. Miller, VP - Engineering, SET AM Fire & Electronic Services, Inc. [AMFES] dmiller(a)amfes.com 702-312-5276

Hello to all, I am setting up a mail server using sendmail and dovecot 2.0.7 with maildir storage. I want to use dovecot lmtp as local mail delivery agent becouse when I send a message to multiple recipients it deliver the message to all recipients with hard links instead of store n copies of the message.
