[Dovecot] SUMMARY: LDA vs LMTP, Cyrus SASL, verbose_proctitle
by Joseph Tam 12 Apr '11

12 Apr '11

A summary of answers I got to the questiosn I posed. > Is there a reason I should prefer LMTP over LDA for local delivery? Thanks for the responses I received. The benefits reported were more/better information logging, and service isolation. Also, one significant advantage not mentioned for LMTP was that one delivery failure to multiple recipients can be disambiguated; LDA can only return an exit code to be tested by the MTA, but the MTA cannot know which recipient(s) generated the error. This problem present can itself, for example, when one user has a full mailbox. An LDA will return EX_TEMPFAIL, and the message will be requeued, and delivery will be retried for all recipients (even those that were successfully delivered to). > The Wiki doesn't differentiates LMTP vs LDA with respect to sendmail > configuration, so am I correct that I just need to replace mail.local > with dovecot-lda, which will choose LDA/LMTP based on dovecot.conf? Not that simple, but I finally did find my answer in the Dovecot archives. It's too bad I had to spend hours tearing apart the sendmail docs before finding it http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2010-September/052936.html The .mc version of the configuration: # Use LMTP for local delivery over IPC channel FEATURE(`local_lmtp',`[IPC]') # Location of LMTP socket define(`LOCAL_MAILER_ARGS', `FILE /path/to/dovecot/lmtp') # Replace default sendmail LMTP options: the same options # with the 'P' flag removed so that the Return-Path is not # added (again?) define(`LOCAL_MAILER_FLAGS', `SXmnz9') MAILER(`local') I haven't tried this yet, but this is pretty close. > Also, can I consolidate authentication by configuring dovecot to use > what sendmail uses (Cyrus SASL) or vice versa? The Wiki hints this is > in the works. No response, so I guess the answer is no. > Lastly, toggling verbose_proctitle seems to have no effect on the output > of ps. Is verbose_proctitle broken for Solaris? The answer to is verbose_proctitle is broken for Solaris. There is no setproctitle(), and ps does not report changes to a process's argv[]: echo "main(int c,char**v){**v='x';sleep(9);}" | \ gcc -xc -o y -; ./y; rm y & ps -f You'll have to use "lsof", "pfiles" or "doveadm who" to get the information.

[Dovecot] Intermitent ldap auth problems benchmarking dovecot
by Maria Arrea 12 Apr '11

12 Apr '11

Hello We are using SLAMD (Distributed Load Generation Engine, www.slamd.com) to benchmark our dovecot server (ldap auth). We are simulating 2.000 simultaneous logins and 20% of them fail. We saw the following errors in the log: Apr 12 09:40:07 buzon dovecot: auth: Error: ldap(correo,192.168.4.153): Request queue is full (oldest added 1 secs ago) Apr 12 09:40:07 buzon dovecot: auth: Error: ldap(correo,192.168.4.153): Request queue is full (oldest added 1 secs ago) Apr 12 09:40:07 buzon dovecot: auth: Error: ldap(correo,192.168.4.153): Request queue is full (oldest added 1 secs ago) We increased auth_worker_max_count from 350 to 3500 (10x increase). Now we see the following errors (still 20% of logins fail): Apr 12 10:14:45 buzon dovecot: imap-login: Internal login failure (pid=29016 id=24783) (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=<correo>, method=PLAIN, rip=192.168.4.153, lip=192.168.4.80, mpid=21284 Apr 12 10:14:45 buzon dovecot: imap-login: Internal login failure (pid=29016 id=24784) (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=<correo>, method=PLAIN, rip=192.168.4.153, lip=192.168.4.80, mpid=21286 What are we doing wrong?

Hello, I current using dovecot 2.0.11 and with all other 2x versions occurring the same problem. When i create the file .dovecot.sieve and compiled one .dovecot.svbin on user homedir, the imap show it like a folder, example: doveadm mailbox list -u user(a)domain.com .. .. *dovecot.sieve* *dovecot.svbin* .. .. I current using maildir and mail location is: *mail_location = maildir:%h:INDEX=%h/cache* Any tip to hide this to users? Sorry for my bad english :) Att. Francisco Freire System Administrator

[Dovecot] trying to combine static userdb with LDAP passdb with per-user userdb_mail and userdb_home
by Igor Zinovik 12 Apr '11

12 Apr '11

Hello, dovecot users. I'm trying to cope with following problem I have single computer which will be going to be final destination for several virtual domains. Domains are stored in LDAP catalog. Dovecot will be working together with Postfix MTA running on same computer. I'm a bit confused how to achieve following thing: I want Postfix to use Dovecot LMTP server for mail delivery. All my mail is located under /var/vmail partition. I designed my own ldap schema and according to dovecot documentation that user should always has home and mail directory i added separate attributes for user home and mail. My typical user that is stored in LDAP has homeDirectory (which stores value like /var/vmail/domain.com/j/joe) and mailMessageStore (which stores value like /var/vmail/domain.com/j/joe/Maildir). All data under /var/vmail is owned by Postfix MTA user (which is called `postfix', uid=89). After reading dovecot documentation I understand that my setup needs to combine static userdb with LDAP passdb. But i also want dovecot to be able to deliver mail for local system users (that are stored in /etc/passwd). For system users i want to store their mail in $HOME/Mail. So i set mail_location = ~/Mail (which turns into /home/user/Mail), but for virtual (which are stored in LDAP) users i want to set mail (or maybe i should write here userdb_mail) to LDAP value mailMessageStore. Seems to me that LMTP server needs separate userdb query to fetch mail_location from LDAP. Setting mail_location = /var/vmail/%d/%n1/%u solves my problem, but I want dovecot to dynamically fetch maildir location from LDAP. Maybe in near future I would also store mail somewhere else not only under /var/vmail. And dovecot will fetch this information from LDAP. Here is excerpt from dovecot log when user tries to login: Apr 11 13:32:29 auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth Apr 11 13:32:29 auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libauthdb_ldap.so Apr 11 13:32:29 auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libdriver_mysql.so Apr 11 13:32:29 auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libdriver_pgsql.so Apr 11 13:32:29 auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libdriver_sqlite.so Apr 11 13:32:29 auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libmech_gssapi.so Apr 11 13:32:29 auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=14748) Apr 11 13:32:29 auth: Debug: client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=imap lip=172.20.21.26 rip=172.20.20.216 lport=143 rport=1227 resp=<hidden> Apr 11 13:32:29 auth: Debug: ldap(joe(a)domain.com,172.20.20.216): pass search: base=pdomain=domain.com,ou=mail,dc=org,dc=ru scope=onelevel filter=(&(objectClass=mailAccount)(uid=joe)(accountStatus=TRUE)) fields=mail,userPassword,mailQuota,homeDirectory,mailMessageStore Apr 11 13:32:29 auth: Debug: ldap(joe(a)domain.com,172.20.20.216): result: mail(user)=joe(a)domain.com mailQuota(userdb_quota_rule=*:bytes=%$)=1073741824 mailMessageStore(userdb_mail)=/var/vmail/domain.com/p/joe/Maildir homeDirectory(userdb_home)=/var/vmail/domain.com/p/joe userPassword(password)=<hidden> Apr 11 13:32:29 auth: Debug: client out: OK 1 user=joe(a)domain.com Apr 11 13:32:29 auth: Debug: master in: REQUEST 2814377985 14748 1 5e00190b4fbfd1a4b8a50e13fa6562b1 Apr 11 13:32:29 auth: Debug: master out: USER 2814377985 joe(a)domain.com uid=89 gid=89 Apr 11 13:32:29 imap-login: Info: Login: user=<joe(a)domain.com>, method=PLAIN, rip=172.20.20.216, lip=172.20.21.26, mpid=14750 Apr 11 13:32:29 imap: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib64/dovecot Apr 11 13:32:29 imap: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/lib10_quota_plugin.so Apr 11 13:32:29 imap: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/lib11_imap_quota_plugin.so Apr 11 13:32:29 imap: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/lib11_trash_plugin.so Apr 11 13:32:29 imap: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/lib20_autocreate_plugin.so Apr 11 13:32:29 imap: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/lib20_expire_plugin.so Apr 11 13:32:29 imap(joe(a)domain.com): Debug: Effective uid=89, gid=89, home= Apr 11 13:32:29 imap(joe(a)domain.com): Debug: Quota root: name=User quota backend=maildir args= Apr 11 13:32:29 imap(joe(a)domain.com): Debug: Quota rule: root=User quota mailbox=* bytes=1073741824 messages=0 Apr 11 13:32:29 imap(joe(a)domain.com): Debug: Quota warning: bytes=1020054732 (95%) messages=0 reverse=no command=/usr/libexec/dovecot/quota-warning.sh 95 joe(a)domain.com domain.com Apr 11 13:32:29 imap(joe(a)domain.com): Debug: Quota warning: bytes=966367641 (90%) messages=0 reverse=no command=/usr/libexec/dovecot/quota-warning.sh 90 joe(a)domain.com domain.com Apr 11 13:32:29 imap(joe(a)domain.com): Debug: Quota warning: bytes=858993459 (80%) messages=0 reverse=no command=/usr/libexec/dovecot/quota-warning.sh 80 joe(a)domain.com domain.com Apr 11 13:32:29 imap(joe(a)domain.com): Error: user joe(a)domain.com: Initialization failed: Initializing mail storage from mail_location setting failed: Home directory not set for user.

Should i just add two attributes to each LDAP user like mailuid and mailgid and set both these variables to `postfix'. Or maybe i should just forget about mail for local system users and just user `prefetch' userdb. I'm just mazed about dovecot userdb and passdb queries. It so powerful but also so hard to understand. I would appreciate any help, since I peck dovecot authentication and userdb-passdb queries like woodpecker starting from last week. Do I understand right that dovecot during userdb fetches Unix UID which will be used to access data on disk? I just want postfix (uid=89) to allow to do this.

Re: [Dovecot] IO rate quotas?

From: Timo Sirainen <tss(a)iki.fi> Subject: Re: [Dovecot] IO rate quotas? > So a single process that is reading files fast enough from disk can > cause disk IO to spike in a way that makes all other processes wait for > available disk IO? It's not a single process. Thunderbird's newest defaults are to syncronize every folder and it will open one connectrion per folder in order to do that. Appropriate disk/swappiness/readahead/cache tuning is required - along with enough ram to cope with several users trying this at once. The underlaying filesystem is also important. as a for-instance, this kind of load with maildir format will effectively _kill_ a GFS box. Our fix was to install systemwide defaults on managed systems to not synchronize (not needed, the home directories are on network storage anyway) and to ask people to check/unset this on laptops/etc

[Dovecot] domain variable still empty
by Andre Rodier 11 Apr '11

11 Apr '11

Hello all, First, thanks for your help with my previous NFS problem. I am trying to mount a mail server, with debian and dovecot 1.2. Until now, I have both shared and public folders working, on a NFS share. indexes are stored locally, as well as per user flags. Sive is also working :-) Now, I'd like to restrict sharing by domain, and for this, to use the "%d" variable When I authenticate, for instance using arodier@red2team, the authentication works. However, the "%d" variable is still empty, when I'd like it to contains "red2team" Here my config: -------------------------------------------------------------- # 1.2.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 x86_64 Debian 6.0.1 nfs4 log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: imap imaps managesieve ssl: required 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 login_greeting: Titan Ready mail_access_groups: mails mail_privileged_group: mails mail_uid: vmails mail_gid: mails mail_location: maildir:/home/emails/%d/%n/Maildir:INDEX=/var/mail/indexes/%n:CONTROL=/var/mail/indexes/%n mail_debug: yes mmap_disable: yes fsync_disable: yes mail_nfs_storage: yes lock_method: flock 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 imap_quota acl imap_acl fts fts_squat mail_plugins(imap): quota imap_quota acl imap_acl fts fts_squat 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 namespace: type: private separator: / location: maildir:/home/emails/%d/%n/Maildir:INDEX=/var/mail/indexes/private/%n:CONTROL=/var/mail/indexes/private/%n inbox: yes list: yes subscriptions: yes namespace: type: shared separator: / prefix: Shared/%%u/ location: maildir:/home/emails/%d/%%n/Maildir:INDEX=/var/mail/indexes/users/%n/%%n:CONTROL=/var/mail/indexes/users/%n/%%n list: children namespace: type: public separator: / prefix: Team/ location: maildir:/home/emails/%d/Public/Maildir/:INDEX=/var/mail/indexes/public/%n list: yes lda: postmaster_address: postmaster(a)red2group.com hostname: smtp1.red2group.com mail_plugins: quota acl sieve auth_socket_path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master auth default: mechanisms: plain login default_realm: red2team username_format: %u verbose: yes debug: yes passdb: driver: ldap args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf userdb: driver: ldap args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 438 plugin: quota: maildir acl: vfile:/etc/dovecot/acls/:cache_secs=300 acl: vfile acl_shared_dict: proxy::acl sieve: /home/emails/%d/%n/Filters/Active.sieve sieve_dir: /home/emails/%d/%n/Filters fts: squat dict: quota: ldap:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf acl: mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql.conf -------------------------------------------------------------- This is now the content of the dovecot-ldap config -------------------------------------------------------------- auth_bind = yes base = dc=red2,dc=srv default_pass_scheme = PLAIN-MD5 hosts = callisto.red2.srv thebe.red2.srv ldap_version = 3 pass_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%n)) scope = subtree user_attrs = homeDirectory=home,gosaMailQuota=quota_rule=*:storage=%$M, mail_plugins user_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%n)) -------------------------------------------------------------- What surprise me is this line during the authentication: ===> auth(arodier(a)red2team,10.10.2.19): username changed arodier@red2team -> arodier Any idea, please ?

[Dovecot] INBOX empty after dsync
by Gary Chodos 11 Apr '11

11 Apr '11

After hearing so many good things about mdbox, I am testing it. I moved my Maildir to a test box, and did the conversion with dsync which reported no errors and appeared to go fine after I set: namespace { separator = / inbox = yes } and changed mail_location=mdbox:~/mdbox But the problem is that the Inbox now is empty in my imap client. What did I do wrong? I can see the emails are there if I grep for subject lines I know exist in my inbox within ~/mdbox, but in the imap client it is as if inbox is totally empty. All the other folders appear fine in imap client.
