[Dovecot] Dovecot Virtual Users with Sendmail
by DormitionSkete＠hotmail.com 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

I'm trying to get Dovecot working with Virtual Users and Sendmail on OpenIndiana 151a7. OpenIndiana is the Open Source continuation of OpenSolaris after Oracle tried to kill it off a couple of years ago shortly after acquiring Sun Microsystems. I'm not sure if this is so much a Dovecot problem, as much of a Sendmail problem. I thought this would probably be a better list to start with, though. If not, please let me know. I initially used this Dovecot wiki page to approach this: Simple Virtual User Installation http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/SimpleVirtualInstall I had to make few minor changes, but I don't think anything significant to the problem I'm having. I can log into SquirrelMail with both virtual users, and with system users. I can send mail to system users from both virtual and system users. I can see the mail that I sent in the Sent Messages folder for both types of users. I just can't send mail to virtual users. When I try to, I get the following message: ERROR: Message not sent. Server replied: Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable 550 5.1.1 <dswebstore@localhost>... User unknown My configuration info is as follows: systemuser@openindiana:~# /usr/local/sbin/dovecot --version 2.1.12 systemuser@openindiana:~# /usr/local/sbin/dovecot -n # 2.1.12: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: SunOS 5.11 i86pc auth_verbose = yes base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/ disable_plaintext_auth = no first_valid_uid = 101 info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-info.log log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log mail_location = mbox:/home/vmail/%u/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u passdb { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/passwd driver = passwd-file } pop3_uidl_format = %g protocols = imap pop3 service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { group = vmail mode = 0600 user = vmail } } ssl = no userdb { args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/home/vmail/%u driver = static } protocol lda { postmaster_address = systemuser@localhost } --- My dovecot password file looks something like this, though changed for obvious security reasons: systemuser:{PLAIN} systemuserPASS virtualuser1:{PLAIN}virtualuser1PASS virtualuser2:{PLAIN}virtualuser2PASS --- I read on this page that I needed to put the following in my sendmail dovecot.m4 file: Dovecot LDA with Sendmail http://wiki2.dovecot.org/LDA/Sendmail So this is my dovecot.m4 file, which shows up in my sendmail.cf file after recompiling my sendmail.mc file. ######################*****############## ### DOVECOT Mailer specification ### ##################*****################## Mdovecot, P=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda, F=DFMPhnu9, S=EnvFromSMTP/HdrFromSMTP, R=EnvToSMTP/HdrFromSMTP, T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix, A=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -d $u --- Finally, this is my sendmail.mc file: divert(-1) # # Copyright (c) 1983 Eric P.

I did not realize you wanted me to actually send you the logs. I thought you only meant for me to look to see if there was anything helpful in them. They do not show much.

[Dovecot] clucene-config.h location
by Dimitri 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

By deafult, CLucene installs the clucene-config.h header to /usr/lib/CLucene, but fts-lucene tries to include it from /usr/include/CLucene and fails. Here is how it is fixed in Fedora, for instance: sed -i '/DEFAULT_INCLUDES *=/s|$| '"$(pkg-config --cflags libclucene-core)|" src/plugins/fts-lucene/Makefile.in Indeed, Lucene's pkgconfig file reflects the fact that some headers reside in /usr/lib/CLucene. It would be great if Dovecot used pkgconfig for CLucene. Thanks, Dimitri Mageia Linux packager

[Dovecot] Can't rename mailboxes, any ideas on how to fix?
by Howard Leadmon 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

I am running Dovecot 2.1.12 under FreeBSD, and I use Outlook 2010 with imap to connect to my server. I know I used to be able to rename mailboxes, as I do this every year at year end, but when I went to rename some mailboxes the start of this year, blamo up popped the message "CANNOT Renaming not supported across conflicting directory permissions". Then only thing that has really been updated here, is Dovecot itself, as I know the FBSD port updates when new versions are released. Any clues on what may have caused this, or how to best correct it? --- Howard Leadmon

[Dovecot] Dovecot 1.2.7 and Roundcube LIST-EXTENDED commands
by aristidis fesarlis 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

Hi all, we use Dovecot 1.2.7 with Maildir, and recently we have set up the latest Roundcube webmail. Inside its config file,it is mentioned that: // By default list of subscribed folders is determined using LIST-EXTENDED // extension if available. Some servers (dovecot 1.x) returns wrong results // for shared namespaces in this case. http://trac.roundcube.net/ticket/1486225 // Enable this option to force LSUB command usage instead. I notice that it seems to work fine, though. We don't have shared namespaces. So my question is: should I change it to LSUB, or will I have problems with my Maildir subscriptions? Thanks

[Dovecot] Dovecot auto subscribe imap public folder
by Marantz 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

Hi, I have a public folder up and running. This public folder is shared across the company, but when one user makes a new folder then it is not automatically visible to othe users. They need to subscribe manually. Is there a way to automatically subscribe to this? Kind regards, Robin -- View this message in context: http://dovecot.2317879.n4.nabble.com/Dovecot-auto-subscribe-imap-public-fol… Sent from the Dovecot mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Dovecot] Folder names
by James Starowitz 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

Running a pretty basic setup of imap +pop3 on version 2.1.10 Users are able to create folders in imap that contain "&" the folder on the backend reflects "&-" as it should, you can list folder, but then when you relog into imap then decides it can no longer subscribe to this folder due to invalid UTF characters. Essentially allowing users to lock themselves out by using a very common character in a folder name. Might one of the imap client compatibility plugins in imapd cause this quirkiness ? Should I be coming at this from another direction? Is this a bug?

[Dovecot] Kerberos/GSSAPI auth via .k5login file
by Jörg Herzinger 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

Hi, we are currently moving our mailserver to a new server with Dovecot, virtual users in LDAP, Passwords in Kerberos Setup. Everything works fine except for GSSAPI which seems to be a bit buggy. The thing is, that when using a .k5login [1] file it seems that SASL does not get passed the home directory specified userdb. In other words, mails for user1 (see below) are stored in /home/domain.at/user1, while the home dir defined in LDAP is /afs/domain.at/home/user1 (virtual users, so only dovecot, not the system does know about this user and home dir). If I do create a .k5login file in /home/domain.at/user1 with the content "someotheruser(a)DOMAIN.AT", then someotheruser should be able to authenticate himself as user1 via GSSAPI. However, this .k5login file is completely ignored. So it seems to me that the home is not passed on to SASL. If I do add ldap to my nsswitch (for testing only) I additionally have real system users. Now if I create a .k5login in their home defined in LDAP which now also the system knows about everything works just fine. It is still the wrong home since its the one in LDAP and not the one defined by dovecot but at least it shows that our setup is working. See also debug log output below, a failed GSSAPI attempt produces no log output at all. Our System is Debian Wheezy on an amd64 (virtualized), dovecot Version 2.1.7, filesystem is ext4. Everything is tested with Firefox 17.0 on an Ubuntu Lucid client.

[Dovecot] dovecot and avahi
by Robert Moskowitz 03 Jan '13

03 Jan '13

I am trying to figure out if I need avahi on my mail server. I see that POP3 and IMAP are services that Avahi can advertise/discover. Does Dovecot work with Avahi and how do you get POP3 and IMAP advertised? And perhaps more importantly, what clients look for mail services this way? I can't find any information on this in the Dovecot documentation ot googling. Perhaps my search fu is low this year. thank you
