[Dovecot] AuthenticationFailedException: [IN-USE] Couldn't open INBOX: Permission denied
by Earles, Jill 09 May '13

09 May '13

I've been pouring over the documentation for dovecot, but can't find a solution to this problem. I recently took over administration of the dovecot email service at the University where I work, and things were going smoothly. We've been creating email accounts for use with JIRA, a bug reporting/tracking system, and one day recently, when I tried to add a new account to JIRA, I got this error returned from dovecot: "AuthenticationFailedException: [IN-USE] Couldn't open INBOX: Permission denied" I got help from Atlassian, the creators of JIRA, and they sent me links to some forum posts that said that changing the permissions of that user's /var/mail/ directory to 0600 would solve the problem. I changed that and no longer got the error. Being satisfied that this was a solution, I created a bunch of new email accounts today to replace exchange accounts, and then changed the permissions on all the /var/mail/ directories to 0600. Now I'm getting that error again, even for pre-existing email addresses, including the one that I had previously fixed by changing the permissions the same way. I tried changing some of the older accounts back to 0660, which is what they had before, and I still get the error even after restarting dovecot. JIRA uses POP, port 110, to connect to the dovecot mail server. I've also had the same problem trying to connect from Mac Mail. Our JIRA application is used for tracking issues for the UBC Libraries, and those email addresses are critical for the creation of tickets and adding comments to tickets. I am at a loss for what to do. Can anyone help? Thank you very much for your time. # dovecot -n # 2.0.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-131.0.15.el6.x86_64 x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.4 (Santiago) auth_debug = yes auth_debug_passwords = yes disable_plaintext_auth = no mail_access_groups = mail mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u mail_privileged_group = mail mbox_write_locks = fcntl passdb { driver = pam } ssl_cert = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/server.crt ssl_key = </etc/pki/dovecot/private/server.key userdb { driver = passwd } protocol pop3 { pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv } Here's an except of the maillog from a recent attempt: May 8 17:46:49 moose dovecot: auth: Debug: pam(lib.sysadmin,{ip removed}): lookup service=dovecot May 8 17:46:49 moose dovecot: auth: Debug: pam(lib.sysadmin,{ip removed}): #1/1 style=1 msg=Password: May 8 17:46:49 moose dovecot: auth: Debug: client out: OK#0111#011user=lib.sysadmin May 8 17:46:49 moose dovecot: auth: Debug: master in: REQUEST#0111028653057#01128298#0111#011a60ed90501af39d7e353a14e027255cd May 8 17:46:49 moose dovecot: auth: Debug: passwd(lib.sysadmin,{ip removed}): lookup May 8 17:46:49 moose dovecot: auth: Debug: master out: USER#0111028653057#011lib.sysadmin#011system_groups_user=lib.sysadmin#011uid=523#011gid=524#011home=/home/lib.sysadmin May 8 17:46:49 moose dovecot: pop3-login: Login: user=<lib.sysadmin>, method=PLAIN, rip={ip removed}, lip={ip removed}, mpid=28302 May 8 17:46:49 moose dovecot: pop3(lib.sysadmin): Error: stat(/var/spool/mail/lib.sysadmin) failed: Permission denied May 8 17:46:49 moose dovecot: pop3(lib.sysadmin): Error: stat(/var/spool/mail/lib.sysadmin) failed: Permission denied May 8 17:46:49 moose dovecot: pop3(lib.sysadmin): Error: Couldn't open INBOX: Permission denied May 8 17:46:49 moose dovecot: pop3(lib.sysadmin): Couldn't open INBOX top=0/0, retr=0/0, del=0/0, size=0 May 8 17:46:50 moose dovecot: auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=28303) May 8 17:46:50 moose dovecot: auth: Debug: client in: AUTH#0111#011PLAIN#011service=pop3#011lip={ip removed}#011rip={ip removed}#011lport=110#011rport=64420#011resp=AGJ2YXV3LnJlbGFpcwByM2xAaXMuYnZAdXc=

[Dovecot] change inbox dotlock name
by Chris Saldanha 08 May '13

08 May '13

Hi, Is there a configuration element that would allow me to change the dot-lock name for the user's /var/mail inbox when it is locked? dovecot (correctly) acquires <username>.lock, but I'm having a problem with procmail where some obscure code path is preventing procmail's acquisition of a lock when it's that default name in /var/mail. The issue is not permissions (using a world-writeable and sticky-bit config for /var/mail). I'll dig into the procmail code if needed, but if dovecot could use a different filename for such locks, then that would solve my issue. procmail has such an option, and I only need to do this for inboxes. Thanks, Chris -- Chris Saldanha Parliant Corporation

[Dovecot] sieve redirect envelope address problem
by Костырев Александр Алексеевич 08 May '13

08 May '13

Good day! I have a problem with mail redirection through sieve rules. I've configured sieve rule that redirects any mail coming to user to gmail mailbox (or whatever external mail system there is). But when sieve redirects any mail it puts vmail@%dovecot_hostname% into envelope address, gives it to my exim for delivery and gmail rejects my mail because user vmail@%dovecot_hostname% do not exist. Please, advice for what can be done about this behavior. my `doveconf -n` http://pastebin.com/0dyL9Jgs Thanks in advance! -- С уважением, Костырев Александр администратор Linux-систем

[Dovecot] CATENATE mis-reads literal after bad URL
by Mike Abbott 08 May '13

08 May '13

Dovecot-2.2.1 plus Timo's recent CATENATE and URLAUTH fixes mishandles literals after bad URLs. (As before remember that the "foobar" text below is really "foobarCRLF" hence the length of 8. Also, last time some MTA discarded an important single leading space character in the snippet I quoted so this time I'm prefixing all the lines to avoid that. In case it's lost again, there's a space before the word "url" below.) | b append inbox catenate (text {8} | + OK | foobar | url /a-bad-url text {8} | b NO [BADURL /a-bad-url] Invalid messagepart IMAP URL. | c noop | d noop | d OK NOOP completed. | e logout | * BYE Logging out | e OK Logout completed. Note that the command with tag "c" is lost. I think it shouldn't be, because the NO was reported to the client without sending a continuation (+ OK) so the client knows not to send the literal. Plus it appears only one line is discarded regardless of the size of the literal.

[Dovecot] URLAUTH assertion failures in 2.2.1

Testing URLAUTH in dovecot-2.2.1 plus Timo's recent CATENATE and URLAUTH fixes eventually trips some assertions. No simple sequence of commands always hits these; they appear to be timing-dependent.

[Dovecot] Dovecot Postfix Quota Policy Service

Hallo zusammen, über den Policy Service von Dovecot zum Abfragen der User Quotas wurde ja schon diskutiert - auch gibt es eine gute Anleitung zum Einrichten, nur leider bekomme ich den Policy Server nicht korrekt konfiguriert.

Auch beim Debug-Logging sind leider nicht mehr Infos zum Fehler zu finden. Zum Einsatz kommt aktuell Postfix 2.10.0 und Dovecot 2.2.1. Die Dovecot Quota Konfiguration sieht so aus, wie bei sys4 beschrieben: service quota-status { executable = quota-status -p postfix unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/quota-status { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } client_limit = 1 } Mittlerweile habe ich schon einige Optionen und Berechtigungen ausprobiert, aber der Fehler bleibt leider der gleiche. Hat vielleicht jemand noch einen Tip? Danke schon mal. -- Daniel

[Dovecot] imap crash during URLFETCH
by Mike Abbott 06 May '13

06 May '13

Dovecot-2.2.1's imap processes crash reliably when they use an IMAP URL with an invalid access specifier. A backtrace and some debug output follows. The crash is likely caused by imap_urlauth_fetch_parsed() returning 0 without having set *mpurl_r to NULL, and then imap_urlauth_fetch_local() freeing an uninitialized pointer.
