Pigeonhole vs dovecot gssapi option
by Larry Rosenman 13 Jul '16

13 Jul '16

Stephan, Is there a reason you don't pick up the dovecot-config file to set additional libraries like the Kerberos libs? I'm the FreeBSD Ports Maintainer for pigeonhole, and a user filed a PR about missing the krb5 libs.

passdb {driver = shadow args = override_username=%variable}
by UNIX admin 12 Jul '16

12 Jul '16

Hello list I want to implement override_username = %variable for the "shadow" driver, so that the following works: passdb { driver = shadow args = override_username=%Ln } by "%variable", I mean "Variables" at http://wiki.dovecot.org/Variables. I've hacked up a solution with strtok(3C), but that's a hack and a possible security hole, and I'd rather not implement it. What I really want is to be able to leverage Dovecot's var_expand() call, which, looking at the code, appears to be the function responsible for %variable expansion and formatting. The relevant piece of code seems to be this excerpt in auth/passdb-shadow.c: static enum passdb_result shadow_lookup(struct auth_request *request, struct spwd **spw_r) { auth_request_log_debug(request, AUTH_SUBSYS_DB, "lookup"); *spw_r = getspnam(request->user); if (*spw_r == NULL) { auth_request_log_unknown_user(request, AUTH_SUBSYS_DB); return PASSDB_RESULT_USER_UNKNOWN; } when request->user contains 'user(a)domain.tld', I want the code to be able to process "override_username", determine that the format is %Ln so that request->user is lowercased, and everything after the "@" sign is stripped. Therefore, if this user happens to exist in the shadow file, authentication will succeed. Currently, the "shadow" driver only appears to support "args = blocking=no". Please advise.

dovecot master password without "auth_master_user_separator"
by Miguel C 12 Jul '16

12 Jul '16

Looking at the doc its sugest we can either use auth_master_user_separator to login with a master user (i.e user(a)email.com*master and the master password defined in a file or db) I'm able to use this method with a password file and works just fine, however we need to sync some imap users to another destrination that does not allow us to use this format in the "email address source" (shame) But the doc also sugests if I don't use this flag I should be able to just use the same login used in the SASL mecahnisms which is not working (testing with plain text ). Is there anything more to this? I have tried to add a username to the password file with the same master password but still doens't work :| What am I missing?

Feature Request
by Doug Hardie 12 Jul '16

12 Jul '16

I would like to request an additional optional argument for queue-id to dovecot-lda. The intended use for this argument is to include in the logging. From what I can tell, the queue-id size is not consistent between the various MTAs and so would need to be allocated dynamically when read during initialization. This element in the log messages would make it easier to find the trace of a received email. Generally I can easily get the queue-id generated by postfix (or sendmail - I use both). One grep would then give me the whole picture rather than having to dig out the message-id and doing a secondary grep to obtain the lda log messages. — Doug I find it interesting that every submission to this list results in a quick response that says moderation is required since I "am not a member". However, I am a member...

is it possible to run a post-login script in a dovecot proxy with local auth?
by Luca Lesinigo 12 Jul '16

12 Jul '16

We’re using dovecot v2.2.22, authenticating on a local database (passdb with sql driver), and then proxying the connections to the backend server returned by passdb (proxy=y and backend in “host” column). To support some legacy clients we should keep POP/IMAP-before-SMTP running for some time, but right know I don’t know how to hook up a successful authentication in the dovecot proxy. I did read from http://wiki2.dovecot.org/PostLoginScripting: “...it's not currently possible to run post-login scripts in proxies, because they're not actually logging in to the local Dovecot” Does that also holds true even if the proxy is authenticating users locally before proxying them? Failing that, any idea on how to get successful logins, other than parsing the log file? thank you, -- Luca Lesinigo

I don't grok autotools, but I don't think this will solve the problem. If I understand the patch correctly, it modifies the small program used by configure to test a C99 feature. Manually compiling the small test program (with and without the changes made by the patch) will result in a successful compile, but if you compile sha1.h (line 80,81), it will fail. I've reduced the problem to this: void foo(int X[static 20]); will compile but if you remove "X", it won't. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

a question about dovecot-sieve
by 刘莹莹 11 Jul '16

11 Jul '16

question discribe: example: > vim .dovecot.sieve require ["fileinto"]; # rule:[filter1] if anyof (header :contains "Subject" "测试邮件") { fileinto "sieve"; } when i write a mail ,give subject "这是一封测试邮件" , then server convert this subject to " SUBJECT: =?UTF-8?Q?=E8=BF=99=E6=98=AF=E4=B8=80=E5=B0=81=E6=B5=8B=E8=AF=95=E9=82=AE?= =?UTF-8?Q?=E4=BB=B6?= " the essential question is when the mail go through dovecot-sieve plugin, the sieve plugin get mail subject is "这是一封测试邮件" not "这是一封测试邮件"，there is a extra space added(which as segmentation between "=?UTF-8?Q?"). SIMPLY SAY：edit subject"这是一封测试邮件" ——>server convert "SUBJECT: =?UTF-8?Q?=E8=BF=99=E6=98=AF=E4=B8=80=E5=B0=81=E6=B5=8B=E8=AF=95=E9=82=AE?= =?UTF-8?Q?=E4=BB=B6?="——>sieve plugin get "这是一封测试邮件" The result is filter failure. is this a bug ? How can I avoid it？ thanks
