[Dovecot] what's wrong with this config file?
by Jim Reid 12 Dec '13

12 Dec '13

Hi. I'm setting up a new IMAPS server. Mail users don't have login access to the box but will each have unique UNIX-style UIDs: no back-end database or LDAP thing. So far. Their mail will get delivered to UNIX-style mailboxes in /var/mail/%u (where %u is the UNIX username obviously). Their IMAP folders will go in /var/imap/%u. These will contain subfolders once everyone migrates to the new set-up and some folders will contain messages and subfolders. I think this is what I configured in dovecot. However when I try to set up a test account, dovecot reports the following error: Dec 12 02:22:00 shaun dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<jim>, method=CRAM-MD5, rip=10.0.0.1, lip=10.1.1.1, mpid=14874, TLS, session=<8Hy1Ak3t+gDDNulD> Dec 12 02:22:00 shaun dovecot: imap(jim): Error: user jim: Initialization failed: namespace configuration error: Duplicate namespace prefix: "" Dec 12 02:22:00 shaun dovecot: imap(jim): Error: Invalid user settings. Refer to server log for more information. I've checked and re-checked the wiki. google was unable to suggest any explanation either. Any ideas what's wrong?

[Dovecot] ot: tracking messages- luser troubleshooting

I had a user complaining of 'not getting emails' I've searched for sender in maillog, got two messages, both showed up as; Dec 12 15:51:29 emu postfix/pipe[9607]: 3F21C5E750: to=<xxx>, relay=dovecot, delay=6.4, delays=6.3/0.01/0/0.12, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered via dovecot service) Dec 12 15:51:29 emu postfix/qmgr[20178]: 3F21C5E750: removed yes the user claimed the message was not received, eventually, after traversing through severl directories, I found the message in '../Maildir/.Deleted Messages' it turns out it was inadvertenltly deleted on iphone. there has to be a better way to try to find / resolve such issues ? what's an optimal way of trying to trace such? I greped for the 3F21C5E750 string through several Maildirs tia,

[Dovecot] Dovecot as caching proxy
by Anton Lundin 12 Dec '13

12 Dec '13

Hi. I'm bin playing around with dovecot to try to setup it as a caching imap proxy. I manged to get dovecot to use both proxy=y and imapc: connections to the master server, but i haven't manged to get dovecot to cache any mails. The remote imap server is a quite hostile one, that i don't have any super/master user access to, and it only exposes imap. I've used tried both with the static passdb, nopassword=y, and imap authdb and with static and prefetch userdbs. I manage to produce the same results, eg. dovecot grabbing the password from the client and uses it to establish a imapc connection to the server and re-exposing it, and starts to write indexes. ( The later plan is probably to use pam as passdb to grab a and store a hashed copy of the password to allow offline access to the cached emails, but thats a later problem to solve.) What i haven't managed to get working is to trigger some replication of the remote emails to dovecot and using that as a cache to serve the emails to the client. I found some presentations and some emails that point in the direction that this should be possible to achieve, probably with the replication plugin, but never managed to get this to work. I'm using dovecot 2.2.9 Does anyone have manged to produce a working setup like this? //Anton -- Anton Lundin +46702-161604

[Dovecot] Dovecot connection problem - Too many invalid commands (no auth attempts) - v2.0.19
by Thomas Standaert 12 Dec '13

12 Dec '13

Hello. This might be a silly problem, but I'm a bit a newbie at this, and the internet didn't give me a solution to this yet. I installed a mail server with postfix, dovecot, postfixadmin and a mysql DB for authentification, using this tutorial : <http://www.exratione.com/2012/05/a-mailserver-on-ubuntu-1204-postfix-doveco t-mysql/> http://www.exratione.com/2012/05/a-mailserver-on-ubuntu-1204-postfix-dovecot -mysql/. Except step 4. The complete tutorial worked on a virtual machine, but doesn't work here on a vps from ovh.net. Connecting via telnet localhost 143 works, I can connect. When I try to connect via thunderbird, the domain name is picked up, but gives me a bad login/password combination. Mail.log, mail.err and error don't show anything. Via MS Outlook, I seem to get stuck on the connection page, and I get the following errors in mail.log: dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Too many invalid commands (no auth attempts): rip=x, lip=y dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=x, lip=y dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=x, lip=y, TLS: Disconnected dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=x, lip=y, TLS: Disconnected dovecot: pop3-login: Aborted login (no auth attempts): rip=x, lip=y dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=x, lip=y, TLS: Disconnected dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts rip=x, lip=y dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=x, lip=y, TLS handshaking: Disconnected dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=x, lip=y, TLS handshaking: Disconnected And after a while asks to try to connect via plain method. Doveconf -n gives me this # 2.0.19: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-042stab068.8 x86_64 Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS simfs auth_mechanisms = plain login first_valid_uid = 150 last_valid_uid = 150 mail_gid = mail mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%n mail_uid = vmail passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } protocols = " imap pop3" service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-userdb { group = mail mode = 0600 user = vmail } } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } Hope you guys can help me, and thanks in advance for it.
