[Dovecot] Strange difference between mails delivered with dovecot-lda and lmtp
by kjonca＠o2.pl 15 Mar '14

15 Mar '14

For a long time I have had configuration where mails were fetched by fetchmail then passed to exim and then passed to dovecot via lmtp. Recently I remove dovecot module and mails are passed from exim to dovecot via dovecot-lda Yesterday I have some kind of accident and lost my .fetchids file so a lot of mails were fetched again. During duplicate hunting I found something strange: messages fetched yesterday (passed to dovecot with lda have additional line) have additional line at the end: for example --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- diff cur/1392241092.M478532P15313.alfa,S=13668,W=13925:2,a cur/1394814438.M978438P14745.alfa,S=13567,W=13823:2,a 1,6c1,4 < Return-Path: <system(a)przelewy24.pl> < Delivered-To: <kjonca@localhost> < Received: from alfa.kjonca < by alfa.kjonca (Dovecot) with LMTP id p94PDcTp+1LROwAApvcrCQ < for <kjonca@localhost>; Wed, 12 Feb 2014 22:38:12 +0100 < Received: from [127.0.0.1] (port=60632 helo=alfa.kjonca) --- > Return-path: <system(a)przelewy24.pl> > Envelope-to: kjonca@localhost > Delivery-date: Fri, 14 Mar 2014 17:27:18 +0100 > Received: from [127.0.0.1] (port=45527 helo=alfa.kjonca) 9,10c7,8 < id 1WDhVU-0003ys-75 < for kjonca@localhost; Wed, 12 Feb 2014 22:38:12 +0100 --- > id 1WOUgz-00015z-L0 > for kjonca@localhost; Fri, 14 Mar 2014 17:10:41 +0100 13c11 < for <kjonca@localhost> (single-drop); Wed, 12 Feb 2014 22:38:12 +0100 (CET) --- > for <kjonca@localhost> (single-drop); Fri, 14 Mar 2014 17:10:41 +0100 (CET) 30c28 < Message-Id: <E1WDhVU-0003ys-75(a)alfa.kjonca> --- > Message-Id: <E1WOUgz-00015z-L0(a)alfa.kjonca> 256a255 > --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- I'm somewhat confused with this.

[Dovecot] Problem with trying to use dsync with ldap userdb
by Frédéric Goudal 14 Mar '14

14 Mar '14

Hello, I'm trying to use dsync on a dovecot 2.2.12 I'm using an ldap database as a user database with the following configuration : auth_bind = yes ldap_version = 3 auth_bind_userdn = uid=%u,ou=People,dc=ipb,dc=fr user_attrs = uidNumber=uid,gidNumber=gid But I keet having the following errors : 2014-03-14 17:53:37 doveadm(XXX): Debug: user XXX: Auth PASS lookup returned temporary failure: reason=Configured passdbs don't support crentials lookups 2014-03-14 17:53:37 doveadm(XXX): Debug: auth input: reason=Configured passdbs don't support crentials lookups 2014-03-14 17:53:37 doveadm(XXX): Error: sync: /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb: Configured passdbs don't support crentials lookups (to see if user is proxied, because doveadm_port is set) I have been hunting through the doc for the last hours and I don't find what to change. I found something about adding set INSECURE_SETUID=1 export INSECUURE_SETUID before checkpassword-reply launch, but it does not change anything... Btw my two server have use the users uid from the ldap, but don't allow user login on the servers where only admin can log in. Does somebody has an idea where to dig ? f.g.

[Dovecot] NFS not responding generates authantication crash
by bart 14 Mar '14

14 Mar '14

I am facing dovecot authentication problems caused by unresponding NFS server. If there is even short break in communication with NFS server keeping maildirs, the dovecot generates the avalanche of processes (dovecot/imap and dovecot/pop3). The real number of connections was about 50 and after the problems occurs it rises to 1000. After about 3 hours the limit of connections is filled up: dovecot: master: Warning: service(auth): client_limit (1000) reached, client connections are being dropped and next: imap-login: Warning: Auth process not responding, delayed sending greeting pop3-login: Warning: Error sending handshake to auth server: Broken pipe imap-login: Warning: Error sending handshake to auth server: Broken pipe When the mail storage was local there was no such problem. After moving to NFS storage the problem arised when trying to make backup with dump (we switched to rsync then) or now if NFS is not responding for a while. My dovecot conf for NFS is in accordane with: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/NFS mmap_disable = yes dotlock_use_excl = no # only needed with NFSv2, NFSv3+ supports O_EXCL and it's faster mail_fsync = always mail_nfs_storage = no mail_nfs_index = no NFS shares are connected with no special parameters. Can something be done on dovecot configuration to prevent from generating those dovecot connections processes? Or is it the problem with NFS configuration? -- View this message in context: http://dovecot.2317879.n4.nabble.com/NFS-not-responding-generates-authantic… Sent from the Dovecot mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Dovecot] Patch & feature request: hide passwords in doveconf -n by default

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, attached patch tries to hide any setting that ends in _password (singular) in the output of doveconf by default. doveconf -n - -> passwords replaced by "<hidden>" to prevent information leak when submitting bug reports doveconf -n -P - -> passwords visible when used by admins locally doveconf -n -P -P - -> setting itself is not shown to even hide that a password is set in the config Warning: doveconf is used by internal programs as well, maybe they won't after the patch.

[Dovecot] quota using wrong limits in user shared mailboxes
by Steffen Kaiser 13 Mar '14

13 Mar '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I have setup a shared namespace to expose user's mailboxes to other users. That works well. Via ACLs users can access other users mailboxes. I have setup a quota for each user, that works well, too. The quota is tracked and new messages are denied, if the quota is exceeded. I do not find hints, if you need to setup something special for shared namespaces. http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Quota/Configuration shows how to track the quota and http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Shared shows how to setup the namespace and ACL. If user1 shares "mailbox" to user2 and user2 copies a message there, the quota is tracked in the quota of user1 correctly. But to calculate if * LOGIN user2 ... * COPY 1 users.user1.mailbox fails with overquota or succeed, the quota limit of user2 is used instead of the quota of user1, whom "mailbox" belongs to. I have tested it with a. limit(user2) < limit(user1) b. quota(user1) + sizeof(message) < limit(user1) if quota(user1) + sizeof(message) > limit(user2), COPY fails with overquota. If I raise the quota of user2, the COPY succeeds. That means, although the target user's quota is not exceeded and won't after the copy, COPY fails. That seems to be wrong for me. The same will apply to the other way round, I guess: If the target user is over quota, but copying user's quota limit is greater than that, the COPY succeeds. [I have not tested it.] Hence, if you enable sharing, you undermine quota, because the other user can copy messages into a mailbox of an user overquota. Does other people see the same issue?

Hi There, Ive taken a look at this and cant quite figure out what is going on here. I have tested all the SQL permissions, and also changed the unix_listener auth-userdb mode to 0666 (as instructed elsewhere to try and solve this issue), but cannot seem to work out what the issue is. Would someone be able to please point me in the correct direction here?
