[Dovecot] v2.2.11 released
by Timo Sirainen 13 Feb '14

13 Feb '14

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.11.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.11.tar.gz.sig I haven't had time to read through the Dovecot mailing list yet, so there are likely some reported bugs that haven't been fixed yet. I'll try to get to them next week in San Francisco. (Probably can't get much done this week in Tokyo.) In the mean time here's v2.2.11 with some new features. + acl plugin: Added an alternative global ACL file that can contain mailbox patterns. See http://wiki2.dovecot.org/ACL for details. + imap proxy: Added proxy_nopipelining passdb setting to work around other IMAP servers' bugs (MS Exchange 2013 especially). + Added %{auth_user}, %{auth_username} and %{auth_domain} variables. See http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Variables for details. + Added support for LZ4 compression. + stats: Track also wall clock time for commands. + pop3_migration plugin improvements to try harder to match the UIDLs correctly. - imap: SEARCH/SORT PARTIAL reponses may have been too large. - doveadm backup: Fixed assert-crash when syncing mailbox deletion.

Re: [Dovecot] Hybrid of linux user accounts and virtual user accounts configuration

Murry my mail delivery is working fine. The first message even automatically creates the Maildir structure like it should, all permissions correct. Steffen Kaiser I will place the output of dovecot n at the bottom of this message. I've configured checkpassword which should be a script that comes with dovecot. However, I cant find it in my install. Which I thought was standard. Not sure where to go get it from either. See this error from the log: dovecot: auth: Fatal: execv(/usr/bin/checkpassword) failed: No such file or directory dovecot: auth: Error: checkpassword(foo,127.0.0.1): Child 29179 exited with status 84 And the pop client sees: -ERR [IN-USE] Temporary authentication failure. Isn't it a script rather than a binary? Is it what should be using to read my simple virtual user flat text file? dovecot -n # 2.0.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-xxx.xxx.i686 i686 CentOS release 6.4 (Final) auth_failure_delay = 10 secs auth_mechanisms = plain login auth_verbose = yes default_process_limit = 50 disable_plaintext_auth = no listen = * login_greeting = Greetings! mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir mbox_write_locks = fcntl passdb { driver = pam } passdb { args = /usr/bin/checkpassword driver = checkpassword } service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { group = postfix user = postfix } } ssl_cert = </etc/pki/arj22/certs/d.pem ssl_key = </etc/pki/arj22/private/d.pem userdb { driver = passwd } userdb { driver = prefetch } userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/passwd/%d driver = passwd-file } protocol pop3 { pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv } EOF

[Dovecot] Getting Director Proxy Working
by Murray Trainer 13 Feb '14

13 Feb '14

Hi All, I can't get directory proxying of pop3 and imap working. The director stuff appears to be OK - see below. The ldap authentication is working on the backend mail server. I just get connection refused when I telnet to the proxy on the pop3 and imap ports. Nothing appears to be running on the pop3 and imap ports despite the lines in the config below. I am not sure what to do from here as nothing is showing up in the logs. Some assistance would be greatly appreciated.

[Dovecot] can not see public mailbox
by David Mehler 13 Feb '14

13 Feb '14

Hello, I'm running Dovecot2 and trying to set up public mailboxes. I've got a virtual user system set up with postfix and using MySQL authentication. I'm wanting to create several public mailboxes for shared messages. I've followed the wiki and have the public folder created. I've got a folder /home/vmail/public/public1 public1 being the maildir of the public mailbox. I can see in my folder list of my webmail client the root public folder but I can't change in to it and I can not see the public1 public mailbox. I'm using one user vmail set up for this setup, permissions on the public1 folder allow the vmail user to read and execute. In public1 I have a file dovecot-acl which has the user attempting to access the public folder with the flags l and r. Below is my config with doveconf -n. I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.
