GSSAPI vs group check
by Németh Ákos Ferenc 05 Aug '19

05 Aug '19

Dear All, Is it possible to make any authorization (eg. checking of group membership) in case of GSSAPI authentication? Our dovecot authenticates the users against PAM and GSSAPI. In the PAM file I'm able to check if a user is a member of a selected (e.g mailreader) group. If the user is member, he can login otherwise not (see below). If the user has a valid Kerberos ticket and he tries to login via GSSAPI, I can't restrict him if he is not a member of the selected group. How can I overcome this issue? My config: passdb { driver = pam # [session=yes] [setcred=yes] [failure_show_msg=yes] [max_requests=<n>] # [cache_key=<key>] [<service name>] #args = dovecot } userdb { # <doc/wiki/AuthDatabase.Passwd.txt> driver = passwd # [blocking=no] #args = # Override fields from passwd #override_fields = home=/home/virtual/%u } ...in PAM file: auth [success=1 default=ignore] pam_succeed_if.so user ingroup mailreader auth [success=ignore default=2] pam_succeed_if.so user ingroup admins auth [success=ignore default=1] pam_succeed_if.so uid >= 1000 auth [success=3 default=ignore] pam_winbind.so krb5_auth krb5_ccache_type=FILE cached_login auth [success=ignore default=1] pam_succeed_if.so uid < 1000 auth [success=1 default=ignore] pam_unix.so nullok_secure try_first_pass auth requisite pam_deny.so auth required pam_permit.so Thank you.

IMAP copy stopped copying flags

Is it intended behavior? It seems to be caused by upgrade to 1:2.3.2-2 on Debian/Testing. -- A. Filip

This has been remedied in 2.3. Unfortunately there is no clean fix to this, they all resort to various levels of trickery. Variables set in passdb/userdb overwrite the ones in plugin {} section. Aki

Dovecot 2.3.0 TLS
by Hauke Fath 07 Jul '19

All, our dovecot installation provides a bundle of intermedia CA certificates using the ssl_ca option. 2.3.0 does not supply the bundle, resulting in various clients either complaining about an unverifiable server cert, or quietly not connecting.

Repository / builds for Debian "buster"?

Speaking of repositories... Debian "buster" (future version 10) has for some time been "stage 1 frozen" (if I have the terminology right) and quite usable. Perhaps it's starting to make sense to make a repo / start producing builds? -- Kostya Vasilyev kman(a)fastmail.com

Automatically subscribe to the INBOX folder
by glts 26 May '19

26 May '19

Hello, I am using the ‘auto = subscribe’ feature in the mailbox configuration section in the usual fashion (as shown in conf.d/15-mailboxes.conf): namespace inbox { inbox = yes mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts auto = subscribe } ... } When I connect to an account with the Thunderbird mail client, those mailboxes/folders get autocreated and autosubscribed. Good! INBOX, however, does not get subscribed to automatically. When I look at the account’s subscriptions in Thunderbird, all folders are subscribed, except INBOX. How can I enable autosubscribe for the INBOX folder (like the other folders)? Is there an option for this? This is in Dovecot 2.2.22. Cheers, David

Using lmtp to authenticate email users

29 Apr '19

FreeBSD 11.2 Postfix 3.3.2 Dovecot 2.3.4 I am trying to use dovecot lmtp with postfix to verify authentication of incoming email and to avoid being a spam relay (an issue I was having using sendmail as my MTA). I am getting the following log message in /var/log/maillog: Mar 30 20:31:38 ns postfix/smtpd[40373]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from mail-eopbgr750091.outbound.protection.outlook.com[40.107.75.91]: 450 4.1.1 < mahan(a)mahan.org>: Recipient address rejected: unverified address: host ns.mahan.org[private/dovecot-lmtp] said: 550 5.1.1 <mahan(a)mahan.org> User doesn't exist: mahan(a)mahan.org (in reply to RCPT TO command); from=< pmahan(a)silver-peak.com> to=<mahan(a)mahan.org> proto=ESMTP helo=< NAM02-BL2-obe.outbound.protection.outlook.com> 'mahan' does exist on ns.mahan.org. So I am confused to why lmtp is failing to find this username. Thanks, Patrick
