[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.0 shared mailbox using ACLs problem
by p.quidacciolu＠libero.it 07 Jun '10

07 Jun '10

Hi, I'm trying to configure shared mailboxes using ACLs. On dovecot 1.2.10 it works fine, but the same configuration on dovecot 2.0. beta4 doesn't work. When I try to access to the shared mailbox I get the following message: Query: SELECT "users/user2/INBOX" Reason Given: Mailbox doesn't exist: users/user2/INBOX In the next the dovecot -n output and the dovecot-ldap.conf content: # 2.0.beta4: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.9-89.ELsmp i686 Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 8) ext3 auth_mechanisms = plain login mail_debug = yes mail_gid = mailusers mail_location = maildir:/mnt/mbox1/mailusers/%n/Maildir mail_uid = mailusers namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = separator = / type = private } namespace { hidden = no list = children location = maildir:/mnt/mbox1/mailusers/%%n/Maildir: INDEX=/mnt/mbox1/mailusers/%n/Maildir/users/%%n prefix = users/%%n/ separator = / subscriptions = no type = shared } passdb { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf driver = ldap } plugin { acl = vfile acl_shared_dict = file:/var/tmp/shared-mailboxes.db } service auth { user = root } ssl = no userdb { driver = passwd } userdb { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf driver = ldap } protocol imap { mail_plugins = quota imap_quota acl imap_acl # /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf hosts = ldap-vip base = o=mailusers user_attrs = mailQuota=quota_rule=*:backend=%$ user_filter = (&(objectClass=person)(|(uid=%u)(uid=%n))) pass_attrs = uid=user,userPassword=password pass_filter = (&(objectClass=person)(|(uid=%u)(uid=%n))) Regards, Pier Luigi

[Dovecot] Ignoring the quota by the LDA?
by Holger Richter 07 Jun '10

07 Jun '10

Is it possible to configure dovecot in a manner that only the imap process respects the quota, and the local delivery ignores completely the quota? I think it should happen if I don't activate the quota plugin in the lda section but only in the imap section. protocol lda { ... # mail_plugins = ... } protocol imap { ... mail_plugins = quota imap_quota ... } Will it work or will it result in a big mess? I've the aim that a mail will never be rejected because the recipient is over his/her quota. Regards, Holger

[Dovecot] Problems with the IMAP proxy after upgrading from dovecot 1.1.16 to 1.211
by Holger Richter 07 Jun '10

07 Jun '10

We have frequent timeout problems after upgrading our imap servers from dovecot 1.1.16 to dovecot 1.2.11. One server acts as proxy only, and the other one is the "real" imap server". The credentials for the proxy service are stored in a remote MYSQL database. There were no trouble with dovecot 1.1.16. But now, with the most recent version, we get frequent login failures. It seems dovecot reconnects too late to the MySQL database after a timeout, after sending the SQL query. Here's a piece of my log file: May 7 14:46:32 ttt dovecot: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=5136 May 7 14:46:42 ttt dovecot: auth(default): client in: AUTH^I1^IPLAIN^Iservice=imap^Isecured^Ilip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx^Irip=yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy^Ilport=sss^Irport=26480^Iresp=<hidden> May 7 14:46:42 ttt dovecot: auth-worker(default): sql(uid,yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy): query: SELECT NULL as password, destuser, host, 'zzz' as port, 'Y' as proxy, '0' as proxy_timeout, 'Y' as nopassword, 'Y' as nodelay from accounts where user ='uid'; May 7 14:47:42 ttt dovecot: auth(default): worker-server(uid,yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy): Aborted: Lookup timed out May 7 14:47:42 ttt dovecot: auth-worker(default): mysql: Connected to lll.lll.lll.lll (imapauth) May 7 14:47:44 ttt dovecot: auth(default): client out: FAIL^I1^Iuser=uid^Itemp May 7 14:47:49 ttt dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=<uid>, method=PLAIN, rip=yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy, lip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, TLS May 7 14:48:26 ttt dovecot: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=5159 May 7 14:48:47 ttt dovecot: auth(default): client in: AUTH^I1^IPLAIN^Iservice=imap^Isecured^Ilip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx^Irip=yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy^Ilport=sss^Irport=6243^Iresp=<hidden> May 7 14:48:47 ttt dovecot: auth-worker(default): sql(uid,yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy): query: SELECT NULL as password, destuser, host, 'zzz' as port, 'Y' as proxy, '0' as proxy_timeout, 'Y' as nopassword, 'Y' as nodelay from accounts where user ='uid'; May 7 14:48:47 ttt dovecot: auth(default): client out: OK^I1^Iuser=uid^Idestuser=luid^Ihost=mmm.mmm.mmm.mmm^Iport=zzz^Iproxy^Iproxy_timeout=0^Ipass=<hidden> May 7 14:48:47 ttt dovecot: imap-login: proxy(uid): started proxying to mmm.mmm.mmm.mmm:zzz/luid: user=<uid>, method=PLAIN, rip=yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy, lip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, TLS May 7 14:48:48 ttt dovecot: imap-login: proxy(uid): disconnecting yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy As you can see, the second login attempt is always successful. Of course I've tried out various values (0, 60, 90, 300) for the proxy_timeout parameter - but without any success.

[Dovecot] authentification failure: double quotes in password
by Martin Ott 07 Jun '10

07 Jun '10

we use Passdb LDAP with authentication binds against an Active Directory Server. The problem with one of our users seems to be the usage of double quotes in his password, as the windows-login works: /var/log/dovecot-info.log auth(default): Info: ldap(testuser 77.22.xx.xxx): invalid credentials (given password: xxxxx"xxxxxxx) Which chars in passwords does the dovecot auth process not like? Is there something similar to auth_username_chars for passwords? thanks, martin

[Dovecot] mdbox error with 2.0.beta5
by Mike Abbott 05 Jun '10

05 Jun '10

Running 2.0.beta5 on Mac OS X with HFS+J, I often see this error in the log: Fri May 14 12:25:59 gromit dovecot[5466]: imap(pid 8101 user joe): Error: mdbox /var/spool/imap/dovecot/mail/mailboxes/INBOX/Foobar/dbox-Mails: map uidvalidity mismatch (1273852899 vs 1273853949) Fri May 14 12:25:59 gromit dovecot[5466]: imap(pid 8101 user joe): Disconnected: Internal error occurred.

There appear to be two issues here: the uidvalidity mismatch, and the path in the "rebuilding indexes" message does not match the path in the "uidvalidity mismatch" error.

[Dovecot] dsync panic in dsync-worker-local.c - 2.0.beta4
by Frode Nordahl 04 Jun '10

04 Jun '10

Hello, While testing mailbox conversion I encountered a Panic in dsync on a few users mailboxes. Running dovecot 2.0.beta4 on RedHat Enterprise Linux 5 (x86_64). I tried to compile the code with -ggdb and debug some more before posting this, but I was unsuccessful. Running dsync from a source tree is hard because of all the dependencies on shares libraries. Is it possbile to build static binaries? Panic message and backtrace included below (anonymized): dsync(user): Error: o_stream_send_istream(/home/user/mdbox/storage/temp.1271871137.P25074Q1M330350.localhost.localdomain) failed: Bad file descriptor dsync(user): Panic: file dsync-worker-local.c: line 1460 (local_worker_save_msg_continue): assertion failed: (ret == -1) dsync(user): Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0 [0x3da92343a0] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(default_fatal_handler+0x37) [0x3da9234487] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0 [0x3da92338c8] -> /usr/bin/dsync [0x40db83] -> /usr/bin/dsync [0x40dc5e] -> /usr/bin/dsync(dsync_worker_msg_save+0x79) [0x40d429] -> /usr/bin/dsync [0x408b4c] -> /usr/bin/dsync [0x40d88d] -> /usr/bin/dsync(dsync_worker_msg_get+0x81) [0x40d061] -> /usr/bin/dsync [0x4085fe] -> /usr/bin/dsync [0x40868d] -> /usr/bin/dsync [0x4087d5] -> /usr/bin/dsync(dsync_brain_msg_sync_more+0x3f5) [0x408395] -> /usr/bin/dsync(dsync_brain_sync+0x93f) [0x40720f] -> /usr/bin/dsync [0x4078e0] -> /usr/bin/dsync(dsync_brain_sync+0x42e) [0x406cfe] -> /usr/bin/dsync [0x4079e1] -> /usr/bin/dsync(dsync_brain_sync+0x3f0) [0x406cc0] -> /usr/bin/dsync(dsync_brain_sync_all+0x18) [0x407728] -> /usr/bin/dsync(main+0x436) [0x406156] -> /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf4) [0x3d18a1d994] -> /usr/bin/dsync [0x405c29] -- Frode Nordahl
