[Dovecot] dovecot, sieve and vacation
by Cedric Jeanneret 20 Mar '12

20 Mar '12

Hi there ! Have a small problem with sieve and vacation: it seems to descard the vacation filter I created instead of sending back an email: Mar 20 11:56:28 hostname dovecot: deliver(virtual_user): sieve: msgid=unspecified: discarding vacation response for message implicitly delivered to <virtual_user@hostname> after searching a bit on the net, I stumbled on another (old) thread: http://www.mail-archive.com/dovecot@dovecot.org/msg25955.html I'm not really sure it's the same problem, as I'm sending the mail from another host (via telnet, for testing purpose). Other sieve rules (such as flagging, moving and so on) work fine. Only vacation is crapy. Here's the roundcube generated rule: require ["vacation"]; if true { vacation :days 2 "on holidays!"; } Any help welcome :) Cheers, C.

[Dovecot] IMAP and POP3 per SSL
by Lamprecht, Andreas 20 Mar '12

20 Mar '12

Hi! I'm new to this list and i could not find a way to search through the already posted articles, so please forgive me if this subject has been discussed before. Our security scanner stumbled over the IMAPs server i've set up recently using dovecot on a RedHat Enterprise 64bit Server. The security scanner found an error regarding a new SSL security leak named "BEAST". The exact error number is CVE-2011-3389. Details can be found here: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2011-3389 "The internet" has some workarounds for this problem. For example, in Apache webserver, you need to set SSLHonorCipherOrder On in apache config. This results in the following C-Code being executed: SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE); This setting tells OpenSSL not to honor the Ciper Order sent from the client, but prefer it's own configured set of CipherSuites. According to Qualis SSL Labs ( https://www.ssllabs.com/ssldb/index.html ), a webserver configured with this setting is not affected by that BEAST security leak. Is there a way to implement such a setting into Dovecot, too? I have created a very quick and dirty solution to avoid being listed on our internal security problem's list. This patch is for dovecot 2.0.9 which is included in Redhat Enterprise Linux 6.2: *** src/login-common/ssl-proxy-openssl.c 2010-12-30 10:42:54.000000000 +0100 --- src/login-common/ssl-proxy-openssl.c_1 2012-03-20 09:48:28.359508087 +0100 *************** *** 924,930 **** X509_STORE *store; STACK_OF(X509_NAME) *xnames = NULL; ! SSL_CTX_set_options(ssl_ctx, SSL_OP_ALL | SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2); if (*set->ssl_ca != '\0') { /* set trusted CA certs */ store = SSL_CTX_get_cert_store(ssl_ctx); --- 924,930 ---- X509_STORE *store; STACK_OF(X509_NAME) *xnames = NULL; ! SSL_CTX_set_options(ssl_ctx, SSL_OP_ALL | SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 | SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE ); if (*set->ssl_ca != '\0') { /* set trusted CA certs */ store = SSL_CTX_get_cert_store(ssl_ctx); Of course there should be a way to switch this setting on or off, but my C programming skills are rather basic ... So, maybe you have the time to look over it and implement a final solution for the BEAST problem. Greetings Andreas lamprecht

[Dovecot] Problem with sieve
by Cédric Jeanneret 20 Mar '12

20 Mar '12

Hello List! I have a tiny-teeny problem with dovecot + sieve: it seems that the LDA doesn't run sieve, and thus doesn't filter my emails. Here's the sieve configuration: plugin { # Used by both the Sieve plugin and the ManageSieve protocol sieve=/var/local/vmail/%n/dovecot.sieve sieve_dir=/var/local/vmail/%n/sieve sieve_extensions = +notify +imapflags } The managesiege: protocol managesieve { # Specify an alternative address:port the daemon must listen on # (default: *:2000) listen = localhost:2000 managesieve_logout_format = bytes ( in=%i : out=%o ) } (this one is working fine, I can edit the filters through roundcube webmail, and the correct file (/var/local/vmail/%n/dovecot.sieve) is edited) the lda part: protocol lda { postmaster_address = foo(a)bar.com mail_plugins = sieve } I think all is in place to allow dovecot to use sieve... ? One more thing: dovecot --version 1.2.15 Any help will be welcomed :). Thanks in advance ! Cheers, C.

[Dovecot] Per-user IMAP enable - is it possible?
by Alexander Chekalin 20 Mar '12

20 Mar '12

Just wonder if it is possible to enable/disable IMAP4 on Dovecot (2.0.x as far) on per-user basis? The deal is simple: our policy is not to store a lot of mailing on mailserver (the user should store it locally), thus the 'use POP3' approach, but for a vary few users it is permitted to use IMAP4. But users sometimes simple miss the point that some mail clients (e.g. TB) 'prefer' to use IMAP4 first, and afterward I see mailbox full of mailings and no local store of it on user's workstation. Sound too complicated, but setting up two Dovecots is not something I'd love to do as well. Thank you for any ideas, Alexander

I want to run plaintext authentication pop3 and ssl/tls only authentication imap. The 'allow plaintext authentication' configuration directive appears to be global, meaning I will need to run two instances of dovecot for a while. Is that correct, or can this be done on a single instance of dovecot? -- Jeff Simmons jsimmons(a)goblin.punk.net Simmons Consulting - Network Engineering, Administration, Security "You guys, I don't hear any noise.
