[Dovecot] Different LDAP filters for different protocols
by James Devine 17 Jul '12

17 Jul '12

Is it possible to query LDAP differently for different protocols? I am using dovecot for both pop3/imap and lmtp deliveries and there are different enable flags in ldap for them. I tried wrapping user_filter inside the protocols in the file dovecot-ldap.conf.ext as shown below but this didn't seem to work. protocol lmtp { user_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(cn=%u)(active=1)(msmtp=1)) } protocol imap { user_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(cn=%u)(active=1)(mpop=1)) } protocol pop3 { user_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(cn=%u)(active=1)(mpop=1)) }

[Dovecot] outlook and redirect sieve
by Lazy 17 Jul '12

17 Jul '12

Hi Aall, we are having issues with outlook clients, running exchange or lotus being unable to parse the email messages redirected by dovecot's sieve 0.3.1, the command is plain redirect "email(a)lotusmail.xxx"; redirects from mta also work correctly exchange was fixed by removing this commit http://hg.rename-it.nl/dovecot-2.1-pigeonhole/raw-diff/082216ad12d6/src/lib… are there any other modifications to the email body or headers that can make those mesages not parsable for outlook ? looking at http://hg.rename-it.nl/dovecot-2.1-pigeonhole/raw-diff/082216ad12d6/src/lib… maybe removing HEADER_FILTER_NO_CR fromi_stream_create_header_filter() will make redirected messages more in tact ? what can I do to make redirect more verbatim ? Thanks in advance for any information. Regards, Michal Grzedzicki

[Dovecot] Selective TLS per local IP
by Robert Blayzor 17 Jul '12

17 Jul '12

We have the requirement to provide SSL on some IP addresses, but not others on our servers. Providing SSL is the easy part and we're able to use multiple SSL certificates now. (thanks Timo!) All is working ok, but we several IP hosts that do not require SSL and do not have valid certificates. While we can limit access via a firewall ACL to TLS connect ports (993/995) we can't do so on port 110/143. The problem is that some clients now are smart enough to look for an offered STARTTLS or STLS, and if it's offered, they try to use it. While not normally a problem if your setup for SSL with valid key/certs, if you have a self signed or no CERT at all, it starts connection warnings and errors on the client side. So is there any way possible to turn off advertising of TLS on port or turn it off/on per IP? Something like: ssl = yes ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/cert/default.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/cert/default.pem local 10.1.1.1 { protocol imap { ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/cert/site1.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/cert/site1.pem } protocol pop3 { ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/cert/site1.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/cert/site1.pem } } local 10.1.1.2 { ssl = no } *or* ssl = no local 10.1.1.1 { ssl = yes protocol imap { ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/cert/site1.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/cert/site1.pem } protocol pop3 { ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/cert/site1.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/cert/site1.pem } } -- Robert Blayzor INOC, LLC rblayzor(a)inoc.net http://www.inoc.net/~rblayzor/

[Dovecot] [PATCH] Interop problem with Cyrus SASL and GSSAPI
by Ben Morrow 17 Jul '12

17 Jul '12

[I sent this a while ago, but it seems not to have made it to the list. I'm resending it having subscribed first; I apologise if anyone get it twice.] I have been trying to get a Postfix mail server using Dovecot SASL to accept GSSAPI AUTH from another Postfix server using Cyrus SASL, and I believe I have found a couple of bugs in Dovecot's GSSAPI implementation. The first problem is that, because of the way the client invokes libsasl, it sends a GSSAPI request which does not ask for mutual authentication. This means that on the server gss_accept_sec_context returns GSS_S_COMPLETE with a zero-length output token. Dovecot currently sends this to the client as a zero-length continuation response, but this is incorrect according to RFC 4752: what it ought to do instead is proceed straight to the security layer negotiations, and send a gss_wrap packet. The second is that Cyrus sends an empty authz identity; that is, the security layer negotiation packet, when gss_unwrapped, is exactly 4 bytes long. Dovecot objects to this, but in RFC 4422 this is explicitly allowed, and means the authz identity is identical to the authn identity. I believe the attached patches (for the 1.2 and 2.1 branches) fix the problem, though I'm not entirely sure if the difference between the p_strndup in mech_gssapi_unwrap and the t_strndup in get_display_name is important.

[Dovecot] Timeout (180s) while waiting for lock for transaction log file
by Angel L. Mateo 17 Jul '12

17 Jul '12

Hello, We still have problems with our updated dovecot servers... The problem now is that we are having errors like: Jul 9 10:22:02 myotis31 dovecot: lmtp(15431, <user>): Error: Timeout (180s) while waiting for lock for transaction log file /var/indexes/<user>/.INBOX/dovecot.index.log Jul 9 10:22:02 myotis31 dovecot: lmtp(15431, <user>): Error: +4YfCwKS+k9HPAAAmo+UlA: sieve: msgid=<4FFA8700.2080003(a)um.es>: failed to store into mailbox 'INBOX': Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. [2012-07-09 10:19:02] Jul 9 10:22:02 myotis31 dovecot: lmtp(15431, <user>): Error: +4YfCwKS+k9HPAAAmo+UlA: sieve: script /home/pdi/88/185188/.dovecot.sieve failed with unsuccessful implicit keep (user logfile /home/pdi/88/185188/.dovecot.sieve.log may reveal additional details) in the .dovecot.sieve.log all we have is just: sieve: info: started log at Jul 09 10:22:02. error: msgid=<4FFA8700.2080003(a)um.es>: failed to store into mailbox 'INBOX': Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. [2012-07-09 10:19:02]. maildir are in a nfs storage, but indexes are in local disk. I don't know if the problem could be related with a some "specific" messages or something specific to the user, because we are having this problem only with a few users and the problem repeatedly happens when our mta tries to deliver the queued message.

[Dovecot] Feature request
by Malloc Kilobyte 17 Jul '12

17 Jul '12

Hi, I am implementig Dovecot as a part of my new e-mail server, which is aimed to be replacement for proprietary software I've been using sofar. Appreciating all Dovecot rich features, I lack just one. And this is the ability to customize the "quota exceeded, message rejected" message. I know I can set it's default content using quota_exceeded_message parameter, but i would also like to have ability to set: - to whom the message is sent. Some mail systems send copy not only to the sender, but also to the recipient. It makes sense in case rejected message has big size. - it's subject - if the rejected message is being attached ( with or without it's own attachments ) or not Moreover, I think it would make sense if the "rejected messege" contained information about size of rejected message and current mailbox space usage. Please, consider this in future development. with regards and respect to the tremendousness of Dovecot, -- malloc4k

[Dovecot] LDAP.conf filter issue
by Tony Hlabse 17 Jul '12

17 Jul '12

All, We are trying to use the user_filter options to limit authentication to a single user group. The cusotmer has security rules that they want to only have users belonging to a group to have access. Sample we have tried. auth_bind = yes auth_bind_userdn = EXAMPLE\%n base = / hosts = example.test.com ldap_version = 3 user_filter = (&(sAMAccountName=)(memberOf=CN=LR3BCC-DL,OU=Autonomy,OU=Exchange,OU=Enterprise Administration,DC=example,DC=test,DC=com)) Thanks Tony
