Hi, I upgrade my server an I have dovecot 2.0.9 (on RedHat 6) and my user uses Thunderbird 5.0 (on Windows XP). I use authentication via LDAP (Windows server 2003 AD). When users use in password diacritic marks (ą,ć,ę,ł,ń,ó) authentication failed. For example when user test have password: Sierpieńłą*123 in log file item appears: localhost dovecot: auth: ldap(test,192.168.0.68): invalid credentials (given password : SierpieDB#005*123) What can I do? Thanks

[Dovecot] dovecot quota feature request
by Shing 28 Jul '11

28 Jul '11

Hi all, I'm going to implement before queue quota check with postfix to prevent bounce mail, the quota information is stored into mysql using dovecot quotadict, it would be nice that dovecot can have an option to switch the quota check with (used space < quota) instead of (used space+mail size < quota), so that i can write a simple sql statement to check_recipient_access to reject those mail, thanks.

[Dovecot] Store quota on passwd-file?? Not work
by Sébastien FOURCADE 28 Jul '11

28 Jul '11

Hello all, I have installed Dovecot 1.2.15 and Postfix 2.7.1 on my Debian 6.This install no include MySQL, I prefer to store Password/User in a file... File /etc/dovecot/passwd contains :user2@domain.com:{CRAM-MD5}::::userdb_mail=maildir:~/Maildir userdb_quota_rule=*:bytes=300M File /etc/dovecot/users :user2@domain.com::3000:3000::/home/vmail/domain.com/user2/:/bin/false:: What is the correct syntax for my file to use a different per-user quota ? This example not work on my Dovecot :user2@domain.com:{CRAM-MD5}:3000:3000::/home/vmail/domain.com/user2::userdb_mail=maildir:~/Maildir userdb_quota_rule=*:storage=200Muser2@domain.com:{CRAM-MD5}:3000:3000::/home/vmail/domain.com/user2::userdb_quota_rule=*:bytes=200M Thx.

[Dovecot] set delay between pop3-logins
by tonjg 28 Jul '11

28 Jul '11

I'm using dovecot 1.1.8 on a raq4 server running centos 4.8 Is it possible to set a time delay between all dovecot pop3-logins? say 20 - 30 seconds for example? My reason is I want to thwart the constant login attempts from hackers hunting for an open relay. It's no good blocking the ip address because every hack attempt comes in from a different address. I'm the only user on the server so no-one else would be affected by such a delay. Thanks for any pointers -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/set-delay-between-pop3-logins-tp32134037p32134037.html Sent from the Dovecot mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Dovecot] lmtp multiple recipients fail
by flylordis flylordis 28 Jul '11

28 Jul '11

Hello, I am having a problem with the lmtp delivery of mail addressed to multiple recipients. The first recipient receives the mail correctly but the next recipients do not. ltmp apparently tries to create a link from the subsequent recipients' mail store to the first recipient mail store and fails. This returns 451 smtp codes to the sender which then resends at some later time. Please see below for users jerry, steve, and mary. The message to jerry gets written but not steve or mary: ul 27 11:24:41 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412): Debug: none: root=, index=, control=, inbox= Jul 27 11:24:41 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412): Connect from 143.112.53.4 Jul 27 11:24:41 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412): Debug: auth input: jerry home=/spool/mail/j/jerry system_groups_user=jerry uid=18738 gid=4025 Jul 27 11:24:41 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412): Debug: auth input: steve home=/spool/mail/s/steve system_groups_user=steve uid=9838 gid=3011 Jul 27 11:24:41 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412): Debug: auth input: mary home=/spool/mail/m/mary system_groups_user=mary uid=7007 gid=3011 Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, jerry): Debug: Effective uid=18738, gid=4025, home=/spool/mail/j/jerry Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, jerry): Debug: fs: root=/spool/mail/j/jerry/mail, index=, control=, inbox=/spool/mail/j/jerry/mail/INBOX Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, jerry): Debug: Namespace : Permission lookup failed from /spool/mail/j/jerry/mail/mailboxes/INBOX Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, jerry): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions from /spool/mail/j/jerry/mail: mode=0700 gid=-1 Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, jerry): Debug: Namespace : Permission lookup failed from /spool/mail/j/jerry/mail/mailboxes/INBOX Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, jerry): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions from /spool/mail/j/jerry/mail: mode=0700 gid=-1 Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, jerry): Debug: Namespace : Permission lookup failed from /spool/mail/j/jerry/mail/mailboxes/INBOX Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, jerry): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions from /spool/mail/j/jerry/mail: mode=0700 gid=-1 Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, jerry): Debug: Namespace : Permission lookup failed from /spool/mail/j/jerry/mail/mailboxes/INBOX Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, jerry): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions from /spool/mail/j/jerry/mail: mode=0700 gid=-1 Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, jerry): +1IXBeVXME58MAAARoVNxQ: msgid=<201107271824.p6RIOPa5020900@backup.>: saved mail to INBOX Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, steve): Debug: Effective uid=9838, gid=3011, home=/spool/mail/s/steve Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, steve): Debug: fs: root=/spool/mail/s/steve/mail, index=, control=, inbox=/spool/mail/s/steve/mail/INBOX Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, steve): Debug: Namespace : Permission lookup failed from /spool/mail/s/steve/mail/mailboxes/INBOX Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, steve): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions from /spool/mail/s/steve/mail: mode=0700 gid=-1 Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, steve): Debug: Namespace : Permission lookup failed from /spool/mail/s/steve/mail/mailboxes/INBOX Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, steve): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions from /spool/mail/s/steve/mail: mode=0700 gid=-1 Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, steve): Debug: Namespace : Permission lookup failed from /spool/mail/s/steve/mail/mailboxes/INBOX Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, steve): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions from /spool/mail/s/steve/mail: mode=0700 gid=-1 Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, steve): Debug: Namespace : Permission lookup failed from /spool/mail/s/steve/mail/mailboxes/INBOX Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, steve): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions from /spool/mail/s/steve/mail: mode=0700 gid=-1 Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, steve): Error: link(/spool/mail/j/jerry/mail/INBOX/u.20423, /spool/mail/s/steve/mail/INBOX/.temp.1311791081.P12412Q2M989550.testmailserver.) failed: Permission denied Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, steve): +1IXBeVXME58MAAARoVNxQ: msgid=<201107271824.p6RIOPa5020900@backup.>: save failed to INBOX: Internal error occurred.

Hi, I'm using Dovecot 1.2.15 on Debian. On some clients, at least KMail, some messages (especially older ones) appear twice in the message list of the client. This is really annoying. Can anyone give me a hint on how to solve this issue? -- Best Regards, Dominik Schulz

Hello I would be grateful if someone could send an example of a dictionnary flat file used by the shared mailboxes feature, it has very few here so a flat file will be enough I think. Thank you

[Dovecot] Problem with client login in 1.2.17
by John O'Brien 27 Jul '11

27 Jul '11

Hi, I have been using CentOS 5.5 with Dovecot 1.0.7. My client apps login with TLS/SSL using an postgres database for username and password authentication. I developed a plugin that added an additional IMAP command. I want to eventually migrate to release 2.0 but have decided to make this a two step process. I have started with 1.2.17 as I hope this would be a smaller step along the way. I have installed 1.2.17 from source an installed. Rebuilt my plugin and installed and set about updating the dovecot.conf file. Installing the SSL certificate etc..... I have tested the 1.0.7 configuration previously using a standard IMAP mail client. When I try with 1.2.17 I can't seem to get logged in. ==> /var/log/maillog <== Jul 27 21:48:26 email dovecot: auth(default): client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=imap secured lip=192.168.1.10 rip=202.81.69.135 lport=10143 rport=58641 resp=ADYxNDE0NjI3NDM2AFExcjQwNHVD Jul 27 21:48:26 email dovecot: auth-worker(default): pam(john,202.81.69.135): lookup service=dovecot Jul 27 21:48:26 email dovecot: auth-worker(default): pam(john,202.81.69.135): #1/1 style=1 msg=Password: Jul 27 21:48:28 email dovecot: auth-worker(default): pam(john,202.81.69.135): unknown user Jul 27 21:48:28 email dovecot: auth(default): sql(john,202.81.69.135): query: SELECT password FROM ivms_iphone WHERE username='john' Jul 27 21:48:28 email dovecot: auth(default): client out: OK 1 user=john Jul 27 21:48:28 email dovecot: auth(default): master in: REQUEST 2 28178 1 Jul 27 21:48:28 email dovecot: auth(default): passwd(john,202.81.69.135): lookup Jul 27 21:48:28 email dovecot: auth(default): passwd(john,202.81.69.135): unknown user Jul 27 21:48:28 email dovecot: auth(default): sql(john,202.81.69.135): SELECT home, uid, gid FROM users WHERE username='john' Jul 27 21:48:28 email dovecot: auth(default): master out: USER 2 john home=/var/imap_mail/john uid=50gid=500 Jul 27 21:48:28 email dovecot: IMAP(john): Loading modules from directory: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap/ Jul 27 21:48:28 email dovecot: IMAP(john): Module loaded: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap//lib20_mail_log_plugin.so Jul 27 21:48:28 email dovecot: IMAP(john): Module loaded: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap//change_passwd_plugin.so Jul 27 21:48:28 email dovecot: IMAP(john): Effective uid=500, gid=500, home=/var/imap_mail/john Jul 27 21:48:28 email dovecot: IMAP(john): maildir: data=john Jul 27 21:48:28 email dovecot: IMAP(john): maildir++: root=john, index=, control=, inbox=john Jul 27 21:48:28 email dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<john>, method=PLAIN, rip=202.81.69.135, lip=192.168.1.10, TLS Jul 27 21:48:28 email dovecot: IMAP(john): Namespace : Using permissions from john: mode=0700 gid=-1 ==> /var/log/secure <== Jul 27 21:48:26 email dovecot-auth: pam_unix(dovecot:auth): check pass; user unknown Jul 27 21:48:26 email dovecot-auth: pam_unix(dovecot:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=dovecot ruser=john rhost=202.81.69.135 Jul 27 21:48:26 email dovecot-auth: pam_succeed_if(dovecot:auth): error retrieving information about user john I have the following in the .conf file auth_verbose=yes auth_debug=yes auth_debug_passwords=yes mail_debug=yes verbose_ssl=yes Also note the following differences in behaviour between Dovecot 1.0.7 and 1.2.17 $ telnet new_system_1.2.17 10143 Trying 192.168.1.10...

Can anyone suggest what else I can enable to assist in determining why I can't appear to login. Its appears related to SSL/TLS but I don't seem to have enough to go on. I'm probably doing something stupid as usual. Regards John
