[Dovecot] dovecot proxy with nopassword and postfix sasl
by Franco Rizzo 13 May '11

13 May '11

HI All I have setup a dovecot proxy with remote auth, value nopassword in the passdb to make the auth remotely. With pop3 and imap the authentication is made on the remote server and this work perfectly. I have tested with wrong and correct password. Then I have added the postfix sasl and this also works fine, the request is made to dovecot. My problem is that with this method I can give any password to postfix and mail is sent. In the debug it seams that a request is made to the remote server for auth. The smtp sasl auth is only refused when I put no password. Is it allowed to use postfix sasl auth with dovecot proxy auth on remote server ? Thank you Franco Rizzo

[Dovecot] Different pass_dbs and auth_mechanisms on different ports
by Oliver Eales 11 May '11

11 May '11

Hello, is it possible to have dovecot imap listening on two different ports, while providing different auth_mechamisms and different pass_db/user_dbs ? Or is it better to simply have two running dovecot instances on the same machine ? Regards, Oliver

[Dovecot] Running 1.x and 2. x on same machine
by email builder 11 May '11

11 May '11

Hello, When building from source, is it possible to use "make install" to switch between version 1.x and 2.x on the same machine (just for testing)? Do both versions install the same binaries? Is configuration from 2.x backward compatible with 1.x? (so we can have the newest configuration files on our system without bothering to have a second set of 1.x config files) Or instead should we be changing something like the installation and config directorie for one of the versions when we install it (how?). Thanks for advice!!!!

[Dovecot] Sieve & auto_create mail_home
by Maria Arrea 11 May '11

11 May '11

Hello In my setup I have the following in dovecot.conf (dovecot 2.0.12) mail_home = /buzones/mydomain/%2.26Hn/%2.200Hn/%n/home_usuario/ mail_location = mdbox:/buzones/my_domain/%2.26Hn/%2.200Hn/%n:INDEX=/indices_dovecot/indices/%2.26Hn/%2.200Hn/%n My problem is with the autocreation of mail_home. We are using roundcube+sieve plugin and the first time a user tries to use sieve fails with this: May 9 12:13:52 buzon dovecot: managesieve(a_poor_user@mydomain): Error: sieve-storage: open(/buzones/my_domain/0a/94/javierdemiguel/home_usuario/sieve//tmp/roundcube-1304936032.M335644P23819.mydomain.sieve) failed: No such file or directory In the second attempt works without problems, the folder "home_usuario" is created after failing the first. How can I fix this? Regards Maria

[Dovecot] Problem with sieve after upgrade to 2.0
by Tom Wright 11 May '11

11 May '11

Hi, I've just upgraded from 1.2 to 2.0.12 via debian sid packages. I think I've moved all my config over to the new directory-based structure and most things are working, but the subaddress extension in sieve doesn't seem to do anything anymore. It doesn't report an error, but any rules which use it are just ignored. Other sieve rules which don't use subaddress seem to work ok. Here's my config: # 2.0.12: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.38-2-amd64 x86_64 Debian wheezy/sid lda_mailbox_autocreate = yes lda_mailbox_autosubscribe = yes managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date passdb { args = scheme=cram-md5 /etc/dovecot/passwd.dovecot driver = passwd-file } plugin { recipient_delimiter = - sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/.sieve } postmaster_address = postmaster(a)tomonica.net protocols = " imap sieve" recipient_delimiter = - service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 0 } } ssl_cert = </etc/apache2/ssl/secure.tomonica.net.certchain.pem ssl_cipher_list = HIGH ssl_key = </etc/apache2/ssl/secure.tomonica.net.keyonly.pem userdb { driver = passwd } protocol lda { mail_plugins = " sieve" } Here's the script which doesn't do anything: require ["fileinto", "envelope", "subaddress"]; if envelope :detail "to" "test" { fileinto "Admin"; } I've been sending test emails to tom - test @ tomonica . net (without the spaces, only put them here for antispam) Any wrong with my config, or any other ideas? It all worked before upgrading to 2.0 Thanks, Tom

[Dovecot] Error messages in log
by Peter Bell 11 May '11

11 May '11

Hi, I would like to eliminate some of the error messages which appear in my dovecot logfile. I already understand that the message: doveconf: Warning: SSL is disabled because global ssl=no, ignoring ssl=yes for subsection is fixed in the current development code. However, I also get a lot of: lda(peter): Error: User peter doesn't have home dir set, disabling duplicate database Is there a way to eliminate/supress these messages? I'm operating with virtual users, so checking for a home directory doesn't make a lot of sense. Is there a setting in the .conf file which can control this? Possibly more concerning is this message: May 10 23:31:23 imap(peter): Error: link(/mnt/user/Maildir/peter/dovecot.index.log, /mnt/user/Maildir/peter/dovecot.index.log.2) failed: Function not implemented I'm not sure exactly what I was doing at the time - probably experimenting with Sieve filters. Has this compromised my maildir? I have already disabled copy with hard links - is there another 'hardlink' setting available?

[Dovecot] Importing emails from mounted NFS to dovecot using doveadm
by Alex Baule 11 May '11

11 May '11

Hello Timo.... I try to import emails using doveadm, but i found one little issue to me, my driver in auth is auth_default_realm = exemplo.com.br auth_mechanisms = LOGIN PLAIN passdb { driver = pam } userdb { driver = static args = uid=mail gid=mail home=/storage/gss/emexis/messages/%d/%n allow_all_users=yes } but my emails to import in NFS i cant change the UID-GID to mail:mail, because is in use by another IMAP (in one machine uid X is different from another machine) There is a way to import emails with doveadm without change the owner from my emails to import ?
