[Dovecot] bug with rsh/ssh connections
by David Lee 05 Oct '06

05 Oct '06

(Using rc7 code) There seems to be a bug in rsh/ssh-style connections. For reference, on a normal imap connection (port 143, 993, etc.) things are OK. The imap session ends (from a client-end command "a logout") thus: --- a logout * BYE Logging out a OK Logout completed. Connection closed by foreign host. unix-prompt% --- But when the connection had been established using rsh or ssh to the servers's "/etc/rimapd" which contains: exec /usr/dovecot/sbin/dovecot --exec-mail imap the session ends thus: --- a logout * BYE Logging out a OK Logout completed. imap(<username>): Info: Disconnected: Logged out unix-prompt% --- Note that additional, protocol-breaking, "imap(...): Info ..." line. This seems to be coming from "imap/cmd-logout.c" calling: client_disconnect(client, "Logged out"); which in turn ("imap/client.c") does: i_info("Disconnected: %s", reason); On the imap connection, this "i_info(...)" output goes (correctly) to syslog, but on the rsh/ssh connection this output seems to go to something like stdout. This strongly suggests a bug: an inconsistency between the two connection types, possibly regarding the way that stdout, stderr, syslog etc. are initialised, assigned, adjusted, etc. -- : David Lee I.T.

[Dovecot] Bug: auth_cache breaks master password feature
by Bill Boebel 05 Oct '06

05 Oct '06

When you set auth_cache_size to a value greater than zero, it breaks the master password feature in Dovecot. It appears that during a cache hit, Dovecot attempts to query the userdb for use the master user's home directory and other settings, rather than querying for the userdb settings of the user that the master was trying to log in for... causing the login to fail. Perhaps caching the userdb settings in addition to the passdb settings (since that is on the TODO list) would indirectly fix this problem. Bill

[Dovecot] dovecot with vpopmail
by nq525＠singnet.com.sg 05 Oct '06

05 Oct '06

I have been using bincimap with vpopmail for awhile and would like to give dovecot a try. Does anyone has any success configuring dovecot with vpopmail? I have installed dovecot but didn't manage to get it up with vpopmail. It will be good if someone can share their settings on dovecot.conf with me. Thanks

[Dovecot] Can't load certificate file: cert already in hash table
by Peter Abrahamsen 05 Oct '06

Hi, I've searched for this error and found nothing. When I switch on SSL, I get the following errors: >>> Oct 3 20:05:23 [dovecot] Dovecot v1.0.rc7 starting up Oct 3 20:05:24 [dovecot] Login process died too early - shutting down Oct 3 20:05:24 [dovecot] imap-login: Can't load certificate file /etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.crt: error:0B07C065:x509 certificate routines:X509_STORE_add_cert:cert already in hash table Oct 3 20:05:24 [dovecot] pop3-login: Can't load certificate file /etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.crt: error:0B07C065:x509 certificate routines:X509_STORE_add_cert:cert already in hash table - Last output repeated twice - Oct 3 20:05:24 [dovecot] child 13344 (login) returned error 89 Oct 3 20:05:24 [dovecot] child 13345 (login) returned error 89 Oct 3 20:05:24 [dovecot] child 13346 (login) returned error 89 Oct 3 20:05:24 [dovecot] child 13347 (login) returned error 89 <<< This is Gentoo on amd64 with openssl 0.9.8d. The cert and key were generated with tinyca and openssl 0.9.8c (I know, I know, it's upgrading now). I made 'em the same way I made my ldap and apache certs, which work fine. Any pointers? Also, why am I given a numeric error code? Thanks, Peter

[Dovecot] Whatever happened to rc8?
by Charles Marcus 04 Oct '06

04 Oct '06

It sounded like there was going to be one, so that some of the fixes that didn't make it into rc7 could be easily tested before releasing 1.0? -- Best regards, Charles

[Dovecot] No inbox for user error
by Ron 04 Oct '06

04 Oct '06

Hi, I'm getting 'no inbox for user' error. Set up sendmail, and can send and receive mail using Webmin/Usermin both to internal addresses and external ones. But Dovecot gives the no inbox error. I've tried telnetting in and get: +OK dovecot ready. USER myob -ERR Unknown command USER myob +UK PASS <password> +OK Logged in. -ERR No INBOX for user. No idea why the first USER command gives an error. And, of course, when I try using Evolution I get 'Cannot get POP summary'. The Dovecot config file, less all the commented out bits is: imap_listen = [::] pop3_listen = [::] imaps_listen = [::] pop3s_listen = [::] ssl_cert_file = /etc/pki/dovecot/dovecot.pem ssl_key_file = /etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem login_dir = /var/run/dovecot-login login_chroot = yes login = imap login_user = dovecot login = pop3 default_mail_env = mbox_locks = fcntl auth = default auth_mechanisms = plain auth_userdb = passwd auth_passdb = pam auth_user = root Any and all ideas very welcome. I'm a total newbie at this server business... Thanks in advance. Ron

Re: [Dovecot] Errors while doing make on Solaris 9 for dovecot-1.0.rc7

Thanks. make AR=ar works -----Original Message----- From: Timo Sirainen [mailto:tss@iki.fi] Sent: Monday, September 25, 2006 1:18 PM To: Agarwal, Lalit Cc: dovecot(a)dovecot.org Subject: Re: [Dovecot] Errors while doing make on Solaris 9 for dovecot-1.0.rc7 On 25.9.2006, at 16.41, Agarwal, Lalit wrote: > rm -f liblib.a > false cru configure has detected your "ar" binary to be "false", which really doesn't work. I'm not sure what the right way to fix this would be (see what config.log says about it), but one workaround at least would be if you ran make as: make AR=ar Of course if you don't have ar at all in the path, that's your problem. :) Looks like it exists in /usr/ccs/bin/.

[Dovecot] Dovecot as LDA
by Gerard Seibert 03 Oct '06

03 Oct '06

FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE-p8 postfix-current-2.4.20060903,3 dovecot-1.0.r7 I am experiencing a problem with dovecot as an LDA. It will not deliver mail unless the mail directory is chmod'd to 1777. Below is an example of the log file output. The dovecot.log file had over a hundred entries similar to this: deliver(gerard): Error: open(/var/mail/.temp.scorpio.seibercom.net.1123.cd38cd4d82e1368f) failed: Permission denied deliver(gerard): Error: file_lock_dotlock() failed with mbox file /var/mail/gerard: Permission denied Obviously the /var/log/maillog had similar fail warnings. By changing the permission to 1777 on the /var/mail directory and running postsuper -r ALL, I was able to get the mail delivered. What I am trying to determine is if I really should have those settings on the directory, or if I have something configured wrong in either postfix or dovecot. Postfix will deliver mail without any problem so I think it has to do with dovecot although I am not sure what. -- Gerard

[Dovecot] Quota with quota dict and peruser quota, dovecot LDA needed?
by Peter Veerman 03 Oct '06

03 Oct '06

Hi, This mail sources from the thread with this topic title: Re: [Dovecot] [SOLVED] quota with: postfixadmin, postfix, mysql & dovecot As this title does no longer cover the topic i decided to start a new thread. I have set up quota:dict with the proxy::quotadict option and i'm not using dovecot LDA. My quota table is filled with records like username: pveerman(a)nemo.kabelfoon.net path: 0 current: 0 and the personal max-quota reported by the client is okay, but the current-quota is 0. What am I doing wrong here? Peter
