[Dovecot] Virtual Servers, or different authentication setups.
by Joshua Gardner 25 May '13

25 May '13

I want to know if there is any virtual server functionality in Dovecot? I would like to have two separate configurations, that access the same email, running in the same Dovecot instance. They would bind different ports and/or IPs, but have different authentication settings. In particular, one would use a PLAIN password scheme, the other SSHA. How would I go about setting up these virtual servers? Or, would I have to run separate instances of Dovecot? If I do have to run separate instances, how do I keep them from interfering with eachother? -Josh

[Dovecot] Passwordless auth?
by Dan Mahoney, System Admin 25 May '13

25 May '13

Hey all, I'm in the process of writing some scripts which I want to be able to take actions on my local mailbox. (For example, to move a subset of messages to the trash over time, if unread for a week. To act on messages in my learn-spam folder and then delete them). What occured to me as being a Neat Idea is if Dovecot could honor ident (rfc1413) lookups, from trusted hosts (i.e. 127.0.0.1). In this way I get all the benefits of dovecot's indexing being updated and nice locking, but I don't have to leave my password laying around in a plaintext file. (Yes, this assumes I'm running a shell on the mail server. I'm not concerned about the same level of security when you could simply cat my mail spool). I'd definitely consider something like an SSH key with a forced command (I do see questions in the FAQ about making dovecot work over a socket connection), but that forgoes using standard imap clients. I could also create a dovecot-only user with my UID and no other login privileges, but I'd like this to "just work" for anyone. I don't know anything about if dovecot supports X509 auth, but this would require the client libraries to support such a thing, which not all do. I'd love to hear about any other ways people have thought about to do this. Any ideas? -Dan Mahoney -- --------Dan Mahoney-------- Techie, Sysadmin, WebGeek Gushi on efnet/undernet IRC ICQ: 13735144 AIM: LarpGM Site: http://www.gushi.org ---------------------------

[Dovecot] userdb section order seems important in config file
by Ken A 24 May '13

24 May '13

Hi Timo, et al, I'm using Dovecot 2.2.2, with dict file based quota and a quota_rule in dovecot.conf. I have userdb configured like so: userdb { driver = passwd-file args = /etc/dovecot/passwd-file } userdb { driver = passwd } I get the behavior I want with a single line in the passwd-file for any users that I'd like to override the default quota. BUT, if I list the userdb sections in the reverse order, with the driver=passwd first, then the quotas in passwd-file are ignored. I have a feeling I am counting on undocumented behavior that might change in the future. Or is this okay to depend on? Thanks, Ken -- Ken Anderson Pacific Internet - http://www.pacific.net

[Dovecot] Is it possible to palce "detailed" (with local+folder@domai.com) messages not to INBOX/folder, but to INBOX/FixedSubfolder/folder?
by Lev Serebryakov 24 May '13

24 May '13

Hello, Dovecot. Now, with enabled "recipient_delimiter = +", "lmtp_save_to_detail_mailbox" and using LMTP, messages with "detail" in address, are placed in auto-created mailboxes. It is great, but what if I want to put all such mailboxes not in inbox directly, but lower in mailbox hierarchy? Is it possible without using sieve? -- // Black Lion AKA Lev Serebryakov <lev(a)serebryakov.spb.ru>
