[Dovecot] Dovecot-2.1.8 process imap crashed

18 Jul '12

Hello! I've just upgraded dovecot from 2.0.18 to 2.1.8 and configured impac. I notice dovecot/imap throws segfault from time to time. I'm not sure i know what steps are needed to reproduce problem. I'm using gentoo, hardened-kernel-3.4.2. Namespaces (and settings for imapc) are keept in database so i'm not sure doveconf would be useful. If would be needed please let me know. Thanks Marcin Core was generated by `dovecot/imap'.

[Dovecot] expire-tool stops on first box with nothing to expire in it
by Michael Wessel 18 Jul '12

18 Jul '12

Hi, I'm running dovecot 1.2.11 on Centos and have the expire plugin enabled. I've had this in place for some time but until now never actually ran the expire-tool. I'm now trying to put this to use. The expire plugin as such is working fine and also the tool is working fine - up to a point. When I run it with --test it goes through a bunch of boxes and lists the messages it would expunge and the new date being logged at the end. As soon as it hits the first box that has nothing in it that's expired however, it stops and goes no further. As an example here are the last two lines of the output when I just ran it: Info: user(a)domain.com/Trash: timestamp 1342320464 (Sat Jul 14 19:47:44 2012) -> 1342937319 (Sat Jul 21 23:08:39 2012) Info: nextuser(a)domain.com/Trash: stop, expire time in future: Sat Jul 14 20:41:49 2012 If I run it again after the indicated expire time it will now also go through the nextuser(a)domain.com but then again stop as soon as it encounters another user with nothing to expire. As far as I can tell the same happens when I actually run the tool. Harder to tell of course as there is no output, but I can tell that not all boxes are expunged as they should be. Any ideas why this would be? Any way to get debug logging on this? Michael

[Dovecot] Compile issue Dovecot 2.1.8, OS X 10.6.x
by Jim 18 Jul '12

18 Jul '12

Hey all. I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.4, and had Dovecot 2.0.7 installed built from source. I'm now wanting to upgrade to Dovecot 2.1.8, but I can't get MAKE to finish without errors: ./configure --with-mysql (snip) Install prefix . : /usr/local File offsets ... : 64bit I/O polling .... : kqueue I/O notifys .... : kqueue SSL ............ : yes (OpenSSL) GSSAPI ......... : no passdbs ........ : static passwd passwd-file pam checkpassword sql : -shadow -bsdauth -sia -ldap -vpopmail userdbs ........ : static prefetch passwd passwd-file checkpassword sql : -ldap -vpopmail -nss SQL drivers .... : mysql : -pgsql -sqlite Full text search : squat : -lucene -solr sudo make (snip) Undefined symbols: "_libiconv_open", referenced from: _charset_to_utf8_begin in libcharset.a(charset-iconv.o) "_libiconv", referenced from: _charset_to_utf8_reset in libcharset.a(charset-iconv.o) _charset_to_utf8 in libcharset.a(charset-iconv.o) "_libiconv_close", referenced from: _charset_to_utf8_end in libcharset.a(charset-iconv.o) ld: symbol(s) not found collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[3]: *** [libdovecot.la] Error 1 make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make: *** [all] Error 2 The reason for the 'sudo make' was to get around a permissions issue, but I don't think that's related to my issue here. I had build Dovecot 2.0.7 and earlier without issue on this system, but I'm a bit stumped on this particular problem. I also found that the configure parameter --with-sql-drivers no longer seems to work, even though it's still shown in the wiki for 2.x. As far as I can tell, I had used this parameter when compiling 2.0.7.

[Dovecot] Different LDAP filters for different protocols
by James Devine 18 Jul '12

18 Jul '12

Is it possible to query LDAP differently for different protocols? I am using dovecot for both pop3/imap and lmtp deliveries and there are different enable flags in ldap for them. I tried wrapping user_filter inside the protocols in the file dovecot-ldap.conf.ext as shown below but this didn't seem to work. protocol lmtp { user_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(cn=%u)(active=1)(msmtp=1)) } protocol imap { user_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(cn=%u)(active=1)(mpop=1)) } protocol pop3 { user_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(cn=%u)(active=1)(mpop=1)) }

[Dovecot] outlook and redirect sieve
by Lazy 18 Jul '12

18 Jul '12

Hi Aall, we are having issues with outlook clients, running exchange or lotus being unable to parse the email messages redirected by dovecot's sieve 0.3.1, the command is plain redirect "email(a)lotusmail.xxx"; redirects from mta also work correctly exchange was fixed by removing this commit http://hg.rename-it.nl/dovecot-2.1-pigeonhole/raw-diff/082216ad12d6/src/lib… are there any other modifications to the email body or headers that can make those mesages not parsable for outlook ? looking at http://hg.rename-it.nl/dovecot-2.1-pigeonhole/raw-diff/082216ad12d6/src/lib… maybe removing HEADER_FILTER_NO_CR fromi_stream_create_header_filter() will make redirected messages more in tact ? what can I do to make redirect more verbatim ? Thanks in advance for any information. Regards, Michal Grzedzicki

[Dovecot] Selective TLS per local IP
by Robert Blayzor 17 Jul '12

17 Jul '12

We have the requirement to provide SSL on some IP addresses, but not others on our servers. Providing SSL is the easy part and we're able to use multiple SSL certificates now. (thanks Timo!) All is working ok, but we several IP hosts that do not require SSL and do not have valid certificates. While we can limit access via a firewall ACL to TLS connect ports (993/995) we can't do so on port 110/143. The problem is that some clients now are smart enough to look for an offered STARTTLS or STLS, and if it's offered, they try to use it. While not normally a problem if your setup for SSL with valid key/certs, if you have a self signed or no CERT at all, it starts connection warnings and errors on the client side. So is there any way possible to turn off advertising of TLS on port or turn it off/on per IP? Something like: ssl = yes ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/cert/default.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/cert/default.pem local 10.1.1.1 { protocol imap { ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/cert/site1.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/cert/site1.pem } protocol pop3 { ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/cert/site1.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/cert/site1.pem } } local 10.1.1.2 { ssl = no } *or* ssl = no local 10.1.1.1 { ssl = yes protocol imap { ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/cert/site1.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/cert/site1.pem } protocol pop3 { ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/cert/site1.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/cert/site1.pem } } -- Robert Blayzor INOC, LLC rblayzor(a)inoc.net http://www.inoc.net/~rblayzor/

version: using dovecot 2.1.8 or 2.0.12 bug: installation - some files missed details: dovecot-openssl.cnf and mkcert.sh are not copied from the src/doc folder to the installation doc folder on installation (make install) both are referred to in the documentation and are useful. is there any chance of updating the build scripts to include these files? thanks, Tim

[Dovecot] [PATCH] Interop problem with Cyrus SASL and GSSAPI
by Ben Morrow 17 Jul '12

17 Jul '12

[I sent this a while ago, but it seems not to have made it to the list. I'm resending it having subscribed first; I apologise if anyone get it twice.] I have been trying to get a Postfix mail server using Dovecot SASL to accept GSSAPI AUTH from another Postfix server using Cyrus SASL, and I believe I have found a couple of bugs in Dovecot's GSSAPI implementation. The first problem is that, because of the way the client invokes libsasl, it sends a GSSAPI request which does not ask for mutual authentication. This means that on the server gss_accept_sec_context returns GSS_S_COMPLETE with a zero-length output token. Dovecot currently sends this to the client as a zero-length continuation response, but this is incorrect according to RFC 4752: what it ought to do instead is proceed straight to the security layer negotiations, and send a gss_wrap packet. The second is that Cyrus sends an empty authz identity; that is, the security layer negotiation packet, when gss_unwrapped, is exactly 4 bytes long. Dovecot objects to this, but in RFC 4422 this is explicitly allowed, and means the authz identity is identical to the authn identity. I believe the attached patches (for the 1.2 and 2.1 branches) fix the problem, though I'm not entirely sure if the difference between the p_strndup in mech_gssapi_unwrap and the t_strndup in get_display_name is important.

I don't know if the problem could be related with a some "specific" messages or something specific to the user, because we are having this problem only with a few users and the problem repeatedly happens when our mta tries to deliver the queued message.
