-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, there is message from Jim Horner (16 November 2006 17:02:44) about this issue, too. For testing I start dovecot with dovecot -F, when I kill it via ^C sometimes there are log entries like this: dovecot: Mar 07 10:10:13 Warning: I/O leak: 0x804d890 (15) dovecot: Mar 07 10:10:13 Warning: I/O leak: 0x804d890 (26) (gdb) x 0x804d890 0x804d890 <login_process_input>: 0x81e58955 I guess it's not important because Dovecot is interrupted.

[Dovecot] Wish to improve logging
by Steffen Kaiser 10 Mar '07

10 Mar '07

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I had a problem in my test configuration, therefore I want to suggest to improvements for logging: 1) mail_log - add mailbox of operation dovecot: Mar 07 09:35:16 Info: IMAP(dvtest) [16829]: expunged: uid=886, msgid=<xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxxxxx(a)xxxxxxxx.xx-xxxx-xxxxx-xxxx.xx> dovecot: Mar 07 09:35:16 Info: IMAP(dvtest) [16829]: expunged: uid=887, msgid=<xxxxxxxxxxxx.xxxxx.xxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx(a)xx-xxxx-xxxxx-xxxx.xx> Please add, from which folder the mail is deleted/expunged, because uid is no unique throughout the mail storage and I do not find no tracking in which mailbox the operation happens. 2) Login - add which passdb / userdb the data was gathered from dovecot: Mar 07 09:34:03 Info: auth(default): ldap(dvtest,10.20.10.63): bind search: base=dc=fh-bonn-rhein-sieg,dc=de filter=(&(objectClass=fhMailAlias)(uid=dvtest)) dovecot: Mar 07 09:34:03 Info: auth(default): ldap(dvtest,10.20.10.63): result: uidNumber(userdb_uid)=1012 gidNumber(userdb_gid)=102 homeDirectory(userdb_home)=/home/dvtest uid(userdb_user)=dvtest mailLocationDovecot(userdb_mail)=maildir:/home/dvtestMAIL/MailDir:INDEX=/var/cache/dovecot/1012/index:CONTROL=/var/cache/dovecot/1012/index/control dovecot: Mar 07 09:34:03 Info: auth(default): ldap(dvtest,10.20.10.63): bind: dn=uid=dvtest,ou=staff,dc=fb02,dc=fh-bonn-rhein-sieg,dc=de dovecot: Mar 07 09:34:03 Info: auth(default): ldap(dvtest,10.20.10.63): invalid credentials dovecot: Mar 07 09:34:03 Info: auth(default): client out: OK 1 user=dvtest dovecot: Mar 07 09:34:03 Info: auth(default): master in: REQUEST 1 16810 1 dovecot: Mar 07 09:34:03 Info: auth(default): prefetch(dvtest,10.20.10.63): passdb didn't return userdb entries dovecot: Mar 07 09:34:03 Info: auth(default): ldap(dvtest,10.20.10.63): user search: base=dc=fh-bonn-rhein-sieg,dc=de scope=subtree filter=(&(objectClass=fhMailAlias)(uid=dvtest)) fields=homeDirectory,uidNumber,gidNumber,mailLocationDovecot,uid dovecot: Mar 07 09:34:03 Info: auth(default): master out: USER 1 dvtest uid=1012 gid=102 home=/home/dvtest user=dvtest mail=maildir:/home/dvtestMAIL/MailDir:INDEX=/var/cache/dovecot/1012/index:CONTROL=/var/cache/dovecot/1012/index/control dovecot: Mar 07 09:34:03 Info: pop3-login: Login: 16810:, user=<dvtest>, method=PLAIN, rip=10.20.10.63, lip=10.20.10.166 First I didn't realized any problem at all ;) and assumed LDAP bind working. Dovecot successfully reads the LDAP attributes for the user dvtest, however, the LDAP bind fails with "invalid credentials", yet, dvtest was allowed to login. The reason is simple: When I was testing the LDAP bind stuff, I "commented out" the user dvtest in /etc/passwd, but not in "/etc/shadow" and intentionally used another password in LDAP. Dovecot is configured to consult userdb/passdb ldap, first, then pam. In my case, the LDAP bind failed, so Dovecot fall back to pam - just as configured. I would like suggest to log wich passdb / userdb Dovecot gathered the information from, because, at first, I interpreted the log file as if Dovecot allows an user to login, who is not authentificated.

Hi., I am trying to configure Virtual Users. Whenever I use: "virtual_transport = dovecot" I get: deliver(user_at_domain): net_connect(/usr/local/var/run/dovecot/auth-master) failed: No such file or directory But it works when I use: "virtual_transport = virtual" What am I doing wrong? Thank you !

[Dovecot] Vexim with LDA delivery
by Chris Wopat 09 Mar '07

09 Mar '07

No support help needed, just a success report having Dovecot integrate with Vexim (exim with web based frontend and sql db): http://silverwraith.com/vexim/ Just wanted to forward some configs to the list if anyone finds them useful. I just switched from vexim's normal "virtual_delivery" to "dovecot_virtual_delivery" so I could use sieve, which works nicely with Horde. This is mostly as described on the wiki: http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA I'm using maildirsize in my case. There were a few things that had to be done to get it to work with quotas, I thought I would just spell it all out for anyone reading this list in the future: I can add stuff if anyone would like to the wiki, some of these items are elsewhere in the wiki, I wanted to ask before I put a full page up for integration with Vexim in particular. Should I do this, or just throw bits and peices where they seem relevant? This was on FreeBSD, hence the /usr/local/etc/ stuff. Exim's 'configure' file: ================================ virtual_domains: #file_transport = virtual_delivery file_transport = dovecot_virtual_delivery virtual_domains_catchall: #file_transport = virtual_delivery file_transport = dovecot_virtual_delivery dovecot_virtual_delivery: driver = pipe command = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d \ $local_part@$domain message_prefix = message_suffix = delivery_date_add envelope_to_add return_path_add log_output user = mailnull dovecot-sql.conf: ================================ driver = mysql connect = host=HOSTNAME dbname=vexim user=vexim password=PASSWORD default_pass_scheme = CRYPT password_query = SELECT crypt as password FROM users,domains \ WHERE users.username = '%u' AND users.enabled = '1' \ AND users.type='local' and domains.enabled='1' \ AND domains.domain_id = users.domain_id user_query = SELECT pop AS home, 26 AS uid, 26 AS gid, \ CONCAT('maildir:storage=', quota*1024) AS quota \ FROM users WHERE username = '%u' AND enabled = '1' Mostly complete dovecot.conf (much of this is obvious, but it's easier than piecing things together from various mailing lists posts/docs): ================================ mail_location = maildir:%h/Maildir first_valid_gid = 26 last_valid_gid = 26 protocol lda { mail_plugins = quota } auth default { mechanisms = plain passdb sql { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf } userdb sql { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf } user = root socket listen { master { path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode = 0660 user = mailnull group = mail } } } plugin { quota = maildir } ================================ --Chris

I'd like to download a complete mail archive so that I can browse for problems concerning Mulberry. Is this possible, or can I only get them in monthly gulps? Cheers, Terry. --

[Dovecot] Dovecot vs Couir-IMAP
by Erdenebat Gantomor 09 Mar '07

09 Mar '07

I'm the beginner for IMAP/POP3 servers. I'm starting to use Dovecot. But I'm confusing between Courier-IMAP and Dovecot. Anyone tell me some quick tips regarding this issue. What's the better and what's the worst thing comparing these two IMAP/POP3 servers? I think the Dovecot is good enough for security and performance issue over Courier. Is it right? And how about the feature comparision? -- Best regards, Erdenebat Guntomor/ /mailto:RkLogin@gmail.com
