[Dovecot] $IP not getting set?
by A.L. 15 Aug '11

15 Aug '11

Using dovecot 2.0.13. I went to implement relay-ctrl per directions on the Wiki, and failed. After running it down, as best as I can determine, the problem is that the $IP variable is not getting set (and thus not re-set in the script wrapper). I plunked a "set >> debug" into the script, and the only env var's that are set are as listed below (slightly sanitized for public display). Anyone have any ideas? I have tried both the Wiki-way, and this way: http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2009-December/045139.html with identical results. CLIENT_LIMIT='1000' CONFIG_FILE='/my_path/config' DOVECOT_CHILD_PROCESS='1' DOVECOT_PRESERVE_ENVS='TZ' DOVECOT_VERSION='2.0.13' GENERATION='7690' IFS=' ' LOG_SERVICE='1' OPTIND='1' PATH='my_path' PPID='1' PS1='# ' PS2='> ' PS4='+ ' PWD='my_pwd' SOCKET_COUNT='1' SSL_SOCKET_COUNT='0'

[Dovecot] shared mailboxes
by Vasil Mikhalenya 15 Aug '11

15 Aug '11

Hi all, I've read all documentation that I could find, but I can not understand 2 simple things 1. How to create a public mailbox - with per user seen flag. In my configuration this flag is shared 2. How to share one user mailbox with other users and set up acl. In Cyrus it was very easy( cyradm sam mailbox user1 lrs or sam mailbox user2 all ). What way there is to do this in dovecot. It was no problem with shared mailboxes in cyrus, but I need maildir support.

[Dovecot] Error when trying to delete folders
by Bar Ziony 15 Aug '11

15 Aug '11

Hi, I'm using Dovecot 2.0.12 as an IMAP server. I'm using the lazy expunge plugin (2 namespaces - default and .EXPUNGED). When trying to delete a folder, I get this error: "Server Error: DELETE: Can't rename mailboxes across specified storages" Is that related to the lazy expunge plugin? What does this error means exactly and how can I fix it? `dovecot -n` output: # 2.0.12: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 x86_64 Debian 6.0.2 auth_master_user_separator = * lda_mailbox_autocreate = yes listen = * log_path = /var/log/dovecot/dovecot.log log_timestamp = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S " mail_gid = 1001 mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir:INDEX=/var/indexes/%n mail_plugins = quota mail_privileged_group = vmail mail_uid = 1001 managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = separator = / type = private } namespace { hidden = no list = yes location = maildir:~/Maildir/expunged prefix = EXPUNGED/ separator = / type = private } passdb { args = scheme=md5-crypt username_format=%n /etc/dovecot/master-users driver = passwd-file master = yes pass = yes } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } plugin { deleted_to_trash_folder = Trash lazy_expunge = EXPUNGED/ quota = maildir:User quota:ns= quota_warning = storage=98%% quota-warning 98 %n quota_warning2 = storage=95%% quota-warning 95 %n quota_warning3 = storage=92%% quota-warning 92 %n quota_warning4 = storage=90%% quota-warning 90 %n quota_warning5 = storage=85%% quota-warning 85 %n quota_warning6 = storage=80%% quota-warning 80 %n sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_before = /var/mail/%n/sieve/vacation_message.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve } protocols = " imap sieve pop3" service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { group = vmail mode = 0600 user = vmail } } service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 0 } } service pop3-login { inet_listener pop3 { port = 0 } } service quota-warning { executable = script /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh unix_listener quota-warning { user = vmail } user = vmail } ssl = required ssl_cert = </etc/dovecot/ssl/certs/mail.home.example.com.crt ssl_key = </etc/dovecot/ssl/private/mail.home.example.com.key userdb { driver = prefetch } userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } protocol lda { info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot/dovecot-lda.log log_path = /var/log/dovecot/dovecot-lda.log mail_plugins = quota sieve } protocol imap { imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail mail_max_userip_connections = 100 mail_plugins = quota imap_quota lazy_expunge deleted_to_trash } protocol pop3 { mail_plugins = quota lazy_expunge pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv ssl_cert = </etc/dovecot/ssl/certs/pop3.home.example.com.crt ssl_key = </etc/dovecot/ssl/private/pop3.home.example.com.key } Any help will be much appreciated!

[Dovecot] SQL passdb lookups not working
by Benjamin Montgomery 14 Aug '11

14 Aug '11

Hello everyone, I'm trying to make dovecot do user authentication against a SQL database. The passwords (managed by Django) are stored as salted SHA1 encoded in hex. I monkey patched Django's password method so that the password hash is made with <password><salt> (Django does <salt><password>, the patched method was verified to return same value as dovecotpw) and the passwords are stored in the database separately as the salted hash and the salt. When I query the values out of the database, I'm using MySQL's concat function to return the password as {SSHA.hex}<sha1 hash><salt>. Dovecot is not able to verify any passwords right now. I've scoured the wiki and I think my setup is correct...config info is below. Any advice on where to look for debugging or setup of my passwords would be appreciated! Ben dovecot-sql.conf: default_pass_scheme = SSHA.hex password_query = \ SELECT emailmanager_emailaddresses.account AS username, \ emailmanager_domain.name AS domain, \ CONCAT('{SSHA.hex}', \ emailmanager_userprofile.shadigest, \ emailmanager_userprofile.salt \ ) AS password \ FROM emailmanager_emailaddresses \ JOIN emailmanager_domain ON emailmanager_emailaddresses.id = emailmanager_domain.id \ JOIN emailmanager_userprofile ON emailmanager_emailaddresses.id = emailmanager_userprofile.id \ WHERE emailmanager_emailaddresses.account = '%n' \ AND emailmanager_domain.name = '%d'

[Dovecot] Clients can't retrieve new emails
by Jeff Van Epps 12 Aug '11

12 Aug '11

In a formerly working environment suddenly clients aren't notified of new emails and can't retrieve new emails. Server is Ubuntu 11.04 dovecot 1.2.15. Clients which fail are a Pre2 webOS 2.1 and TouchPad webOS 3.0 (those are OS versions, I don't know which particular flavor/version the IMAP clients are); there is also a Thunderbird 3.1.11 client on the same system as the server which works properly. The clients never report an error. I got as far as configuring rawlog: in: ~A2 NAMESPACE ~A3 SELECT "INBOX" ~A4 LIST "" * ~A5 UID STORE 0 +FLAGS.SILENT (\Seen) ~A6 UID STORE 0 +FLAGS.SILENT (\Seen) out: * OK [RAWLOG TIMESTAMP] 2011-08-01 08:28:33 ~A1 OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE SORT SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT IDLE CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE QRESYNC ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH LIST-STATUS] Logged in * NAMESPACE (("" "/")) NIL NIL ~A2 OK Namespace completed. * FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft NonJunk Junk) * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft NonJunk Junk \*)] Flags permitted. * 101 EXISTS * 0 RECENT * OK [UNSEEN 63] First unseen. * OK [UIDVALIDITY 1222650706] UIDs valid * OK [UIDNEXT 863] Predicted next UID * OK [HIGHESTMODSEQ 1903] Highest ~A3 OK [READ-WRITE] Select completed. * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "/" "Trash" * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "/" "Sent" * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "/" "INBOX" ~A4 OK List completed. ~A5 BAD Error in IMAP command UID STORE: Invalid uidset ~A6 BAD Error in IMAP command UID STORE: Invalid uidset I've searched and read messages saying that there is no such thing as UID 0. Okay. Why are the clients suddenly trying to use it? Why doesn't the server just ignore it? (it seems like it may be terminating the connection) What can I do about it? (I'll nag HP about the client side but I don't expect quick action. The server on the other hand is in my house.) dovecot -n output: # 1.2.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.38-11-generic i686 Ubuntu 11.04 log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S ssl_cert_file: /etc/ssl/certs/lordbah.com.crt ssl_key_file: /etc/ssl/private/lordbah.com.key ssl_key_password: --redacted-- disable_plaintext_auth: no verbose_ssl: yes login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_process_per_connection: no login_processes_count: 5 login_max_processes_count: 20 verbose_proctitle: yes mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: mbox:~*/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/*%u mail_debug: yes mbox_write_locks: fcntl dotlock mail_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/rawlog /usr/lib/dovecot/imap imap_client_workarounds: tb-extra-mailbox-sep auth default: verbose: yes debug: yes passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd -- Jeff Van Epps

I was wondering if it was possible to use Dovecot as part of a commercial solution. For example, I mean charging for an email service which uses Dovecot.Thanks.

[Dovecot] Unknown setting: service
by Patrick Westenberg 12 Aug '11

Hi guys, I setup a new box with Debian Squeeze 64bit and installed dovecot from the sources. However, I can't start dovecot or even use doveconf: root@imap01:~# doveconf -n # 2.0.13: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /usr/local/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf line 111: Unknown setting: mail_uid Why is mail_uid and mail_gid an unknown setting? On my other box the configuration is identical (but Dovecot is upgraded from early 2.0.x versions to the current one) If I comment the mail_uid and mail_gid lines, I get another error: root@imap01:~# doveconf -n doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /usr/local/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf line 17: Unknown setting: service doveconf: Error: managesieve-login: dump-capability process returned 89 doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /usr/local/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf line 17: Unknown setting: service Everything I could find on Google are problems after upgrading from 1.x to 2.x What went wrong?

[Dovecot] Thunderbird Will Not Download Email Until Computer Is Rebooted
by Jay Welch 11 Aug '11

11 Aug '11

Hey Guys, Have any of you seen an issue with Thunderbird in which the computer has to be rebooted for email to be downloaded? I have been looking over the InterWebs and I cannot find anything. I can see new email on the server as well. Where would be a good place to start for troubleshooting this issue? Thanks
