Still muddling through with broken auth...
by Jason Pruim 03 Apr '16

Hey Everyone, I’m still muddling through my first install… Followed the tutorials on workaround.org <http://workaround.org/> which were very helpful! but don’t include much info if things don’t work 100%… and so far I haven’t been able to pin down where the error is. When I try: telnet localhost 143 this is what shows up in the maillot: Apr 2 21:06:57 ip-172-31-24-2 dovecot: auth: Fatal: Unknown database driver 'sql' Apr 2 21:06:57 ip-172-31-24-2 dovecot: master: Error: service(auth): command startup failed, throttling for 2 secs Apr 2 21:06:57 ip-172-31-24-2 dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Auth process broken (disconnected before auth was ready, waited 0 secs): user=<>, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured, session=<+lw34IYvVgB/AAAB> With the failed driver for the database, I tried mysql and sql both of which produce the same error… I have a few other issues but I think those are related farther upstream… Not being able to sign into round cube for webmail, because of it being unable to connect to the storage container… But I think that’s a round cube issue… I want to get postfix and dovecot playing nicely before I worry too much about things like webmail access… Here is my postconf -n: [ec2-user@ip-172-31-24-2 dovecot]$ postconf -n alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases command_directory = /usr/sbin config_directory = /etc/postfix daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix data_directory = /var/lib/postfix debug_peer_level = 2 html_directory = no inet_interfaces = localhost inet_protocols = all mail_owner = postfix mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq.postfix manpage_directory = /usr/share/man mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases.postfix queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.6.6/README_FILES sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.6.6/samples sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix setgid_group = postdrop unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550 virtual_mailbox_domains = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual_mailbox_domains virtual_mailbox_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual_mailbox_users virtual_transport = dovecot [ec2-user@ip-172-31-24-2 dovecot]$ What else can I provide?

Dovecot with LDAP/AD has problem with uid/gid
by Luca Bertoncello 02 Apr '16

02 Apr '16

Hi list! I have a Server connected to an AD and I need to configure Dovecot to authenticate the users against the AD (with password and GSSAPI). Now I'm trying to connect Dovecot to the AD with password. The authentication works, but I always got this error: Apr 2 13:03:49 mail dovecot: pop3-login: Login: user=<lucabert>, method=PLAIN, rip=192.168.50.1, lip=192.168.50.3, mpid=3508, session=<ZWJDc34vDgDAqDIB> Apr 2 13:03:49 mail dovecot: pop3(lucabert): Error: stat(/var/spool/mail/lucabert/tmp) failed: Permission denied (euid=10001(lucabert) egid=10000(domain users) missing +x perm: /var/spool/mail/lucabert, dir owned by 1005:8 mode=0700) Apr 2 13:03:49 mail dovecot: pop3(lucabert): Error: Couldn't open INBOX: Internal error occurred.

Of course the Mailboxes have user 1005 and group 8. Can someone help me? Thanks Luca Bertoncello (lucabert(a)lucabert.de)

SIS deduplication fails to create intermediate directories and funny permissions
by Jesus Cea 01 Apr '16

01 Apr '16

I have configured my system to use SIS, sharing the same same storage for all users, and offline deduplication. I have this in my "root" cron: """ 53 1 * * * /usr/local/bin/doveadm purge -A 16 * * * * /usr/local/bin/doveadm sis deduplicate /home/dovecot/buzones/attachments /home/dovecot/buzones/attachments/queue """ Yes, it is launched as "root" but I would expect doveadm drop privileges as soon as possible. This is working great, but from time to time I get this error message: """ Your "cron" job on babylon5 /usr/local/bin/doveadm sis deduplicate /home/dovecot/buzones/attachments /home/dovecot/buzones/attachments/queue produced the following output: Error: mkdir(/home/dovecot/buzones/attachments/dc/62/hashes) failed: No such file or directory """ Looks like doveadm is trying to create the "hashes" directory but the parent "62" doesn't exits yet. If I create that directory by hand and set permissions correctly, everything (seems to) work. Talking about this, I see something strange wit the permissions. All files and directories in SIS are created with "dovemail" user and group EXCEPT the "hashes" directory inside the newly created directory. That is: When I get the error message, I have this: """ drwx------ 7 dovemail dovemail 7 Apr 1 13:28 . drwx------ 237 dovemail dovemail 237 Mar 24 20:09 .. drwx------ 3 dovemail dovemail 3 Feb 29 02:30 1d drwx------ 3 dovemail dovemail 3 Mar 9 01:53 7f drwx------ 3 dovemail dovemail 3 Feb 29 02:30 88 drwx------ 3 dovemail dovemail 3 Feb 29 02:30 8d """ I create the missing directory by hand and change permissions. Now I have: """ drwx------ 7 dovemail dovemail 7 Apr 1 13:28 . drwx------ 237 dovemail dovemail 237 Mar 24 20:09 .. drwx------ 3 dovemail dovemail 3 Feb 29 02:30 1d drwx------ 3 dovemail dovemail 3 Apr 1 13:30 62 drwx------ 3 dovemail dovemail 3 Mar 9 01:53 7f drwx------ 3 dovemail dovemail 3 Feb 29 02:30 88 drwx------ 3 dovemail dovemail 3 Feb 29 02:30 8d """ I run the deduplicator again (as root) and it creates a "hashes" directory inside the "62" directory... with user/group root/root.

default namespace
by Nerijus Baliunas 01 Apr '16

01 Apr '16

Hello, With no namespace settings and dovecot 2.0.9 I get the following listing: a LIST "" "*" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "Trash" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "Sent" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX" a OK List completed. Then I add the namespaces: namespace inbox { separator = . prefix = inbox = yes hidden = no list = yes subscriptions = yes } namespace compat { separator = . prefix = INBOX. inbox = no hidden = yes list = no alias_for = } Then list output changes: a LIST "" "*" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "Trash" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "Sent" * LIST (\HasChildren) "." "INBOX" a OK List completed. INBOX now has \HasChildren, while before it had \HasNoChildren. How can I make it \HasNoChildren? Regards, Nerijus
