[Dovecot] \Noselect on virtual folders
by Matthias Rieber 17 Jun '10

17 Jun '10

Hi, I've some virtual folders which seem a bit odd when they are listed. a LIST "virtual.spam." "*" * LIST (\Noselect \HasNoChildren) "." "virtual.spam." * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "virtual.spam.unchecked" * LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "." "virtual.spam.disagree" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "virtual.spam.disagree.dspam" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "virtual.spam.disagree.spamassassin" a OK List completed. This seems ok, virtual.spam and virtual.spam.disagree can't contain mails. I'm wondering if virtual.spam should have the flag \HasChildren instead if \HasNoChildren, but this doesn't cause trouble... a LIST (SUBSCRIBED) "virtual.spam." "*" * LIST (\Subscribed \Noselect) "." "virtual.spam.disagree.spamassassin" * LIST (\Subscribed \Noselect) "." "virtual.spam.disagree.dspam" * LIST (\Subscribed \Noselect) "." "virtual.spam.unchecked" a OK List completed. When I list the folder with (SUBSCRIBED), the virtual folders are all flagged with \Noselect. This appears at all virtual folders. All other folders don't have the \Noselect flag. On the Nokia N900 I can't enter all virtual folders. The log shows that the n900 always list the folders with (SUBSCRIBED). Is this listing the expected behaviour? regards, Matthias

[Dovecot] Shared mailboxes errors
by Nikita Koshikov 17 Jun '10

17 Jun '10

Hello list, I'm implementing shared mailboxes on live system and after enabling acl plugin I got errors in my log: Jun 17 15:50:33 dict: Error: sql dict iterate: Invalid/unmapped path: shared/shared-boxes/anyone/ I have no clue why this happening, users don't know about new functionality they just use imap as before. Also dict database begin to fill up by records like: select * from user_shares; user@domain.com|admin@domain.com|1 But user don't use setacl command. Searching for the list gave http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2009-April/038664.html , but question seemed still open. So, can someone give point how to fix\avoid this ? One more question, on live system it's hard to debug dovecot with mail_debug=yes for all users, can this option be turn on for individual user? or maybe mail_debug stream can be redirected also for individual user ?

[Dovecot] basic conf error? v1.2.11
by Justin Krejci 17 Jun '10

17 Jun '10

I just downloaded 1.2.11 and compiled from source including mysql support and using default directory locations. I walked thru the included example conf file and tweaked it out and get an invalid configuration file. I trimmed out all of the commented sections to make the non-default config super easy to navigate during troubleshooting. Remaining config which gives an error of "unknown setting: mechanisms" so I switched it to auth_mechanisms and then get the following when starting dovecot: Error: Error in configuration file /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf line 18: Unknown section type (section changed in /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf at line 14) Fatal: Invalid configuration in /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf ##################### protocols = imap pop3 listen = <SCRUBBED IP> disable_plaintext_auth = no ssl = no login_processes_count = 100 login_max_processes_count = 500 login_max_connections = 512 login_greeting = DovecotProxy08 ready. protocol imap { } protocol pop3 { } protocol lda { } #LINE 14 auth_username_chars = abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ01234567890.-_@/$!&\ auth default { mechanisms = plain passdb sql { #LINE 18 args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf } userdb sql { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf } user = root } dict { } plugin { } ##################### Any ideas what is wrong here? It seems like the example conf file is not correct. Yes the dovecot-sql.conf file exists.

[Dovecot] ZFS Index corruption and Connection reset by peer
by Philippe Chevalier 17 Jun '10

17 Jun '10

Hello, I'm currently using dovecot 1.2.11 on FreeBSD 8.0 with ZFS filesystems. So far, so good, it works quite nicely, but I have a couple glitches. Each user has his own zfs partition, mounted on /home/<user> (easier to set per user quotas) and mail is stored in their home. From day one, when people check their mail via imap, a lot of indexes corruption occured : dovecot: IMAP(<user>@domain.org): Corrupted transaction log file /home/<user>/Mail/Maildir/INBOX/dovecot.index.log seq 13: record size too small +(type=0x0, offset=5560, size=0) (sync_offset=5652) dovecot: IMAP(<user>@domain.org): fscking index file /home/<user>/Mail/Maildir/INBOX/dovecot.index dovecot: IMAP(<user>@domain.org): /home/<user>/Mail/Maildir/INBOX/dovecot.index log position went backwards (13,132 < 13,5560) dovecot: IMAP(<user>@domain.org): Transaction log file /home/<user>/Mail/Maildir/INBOX/dovecot.index.log: marked corrupted etc, etc... After some digging, I "solved" this problem with mmap_disable = yes in dovecot.conf. Index corruption doesn't seem to occur anymore. Is this normal? I thought this problem occured only on NFS filesystem and eventually on old versions of ZFS. Hasn't this been fixed? Is there an option in ZFS that would allow mmap calls without corruption. Has it something to do with compression ? The options of the zfs filesystem are : zhome/username type filesystem - zhome/username creation Thu Mar 18 11:10 2010 - zhome/username used 750M - zhome/username available 61.0G - zhome/username referenced 750M - zhome/username compressratio 1.20x - zhome/username mounted yes - zhome/username quota none default zhome/username reservation none default zhome/username recordsize 128K default zhome/username mountpoint /usr/home/username inherited from zhome zhome/username sharenfs off default zhome/username checksum on default zhome/username compression lzjb inherited from zhome zhome/username atime off inherited from zhome zhome/username devices on default zhome/username exec on default zhome/username setuid on default zhome/username readonly off default zhome/username jailed off default zhome/username snapdir hidden default zhome/username aclmode groupmask default zhome/username aclinherit restricted default zhome/username canmount on default zhome/username shareiscsi off default zhome/username xattr off temporary zhome/username copies 1 default zhome/username version 3 - zhome/username utf8only off - zhome/username normalization none - zhome/username casesensitivity sensitive - zhome/username vscan off default zhome/username nbmand off default zhome/username sharesmb off default zhome/username refquota none default zhome/username refreservation none default zhome/username primarycache all default zhome/username secondarycache all default zhome/username usedbysnapshots 0 - zhome/username usedbydataset 750M - zhome/username usedbychildren 0 - zhome/username usedbyrefreservation 0 - Other problem, that I have been unable to solve so far, is that a lot of entries show up in my logs about : dovecot: imap-login: net_disconnect() failed: Connection reset by peer It doesn't seem to have any adverse effect, except it's filling up the logs. It seem to appear when a client closes the imap connection? Is there a way to suppress this error? Regard P.C.

[Dovecot] BUG Dovecot 1.0.15 and Apples Mail.app
by Gerhard Waldemair 17 Jun '10

17 Jun '10

Is there anyone using Apple´s Mail.app to collect the mails via IMAP or IMAPS ? I found a funny bug in Debian Lennys Dovecot Version. (still v. 1.0.15) When I get my Mails via IMAP or IMAPS and define a Rule in Mail.app to move the eMail to s specific folder I will find the mail 2 times in the folder. After a minute or so the double Mail disappears. I have tried it with other programs like Thunderbird. There everything works, v1.0 too. Now I have updatet Dovecot from 1.0 to 1.2 from Backports and everything works great now !!!!! Regards, Gerhard PS in Squeeze Dovecot is Version 1.2

[Dovecot] dovecot vs. Thunderbird

Hello (and Moin Moin) ;) I have currently a straith Problem ... I have our IMAP-Server migrated from an old cyrus the the current stable Version of dovecot. In the old configuration we organized many mails (e.g. root-Stuff) in Public Folders. They structure had nearly 5 folderlevels. After the complete migration an syncronize we switch complete to the dovecot setup. At this moment we have problems with access to the Public Folders. (We use as Client the actualy Thunderbird3 ...) When i want subscribe Folders, i have no access to folder are deeper as second level! Now, i have testet with rawlogs an switch on the debugging in Thunderbird, but a have no more idea! :-( Here an extract of our Public Folders: ,------------------------------------- Shared Folders +- shared +- backup | +- archive | +- warnings +- databases +- WARNINGS +- ERRORS +- archive +- projects +- ... +- ... +- archive `------------------------------------- I can see max. the Folders 'Shared Folders.shared.backup', not they subfolders! :( Now the techs: ,------------------------------------- dovecot --version 1.2.11 dovecot -n # 1.2.11: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 i686 Debian 5.0.4 ext3 log_path: /var/log/dovecot/dovecot.log info_log_path: /var/log/dovecot/dovecot.info.log log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S | protocols: imap managesieve lda listen(default): * listen(imap): * listen(managesieve): *:2000 disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(managesieve): /usr/lib/dovecot/managesieve-login login_greeting: S2B Dovecot ready. login_log_format_elements: user=<%n> method=%m rip=%r lip=%l %c max_mail_processes: 64 verbose_proctitle: yes first_valid_gid: 100 mail_privileged_group: vmail mail_uid: 1101 mail_gid: 1101 mail_location: maildir:/home/vmail/%n/:CONTROL=/home/vmail/%n/control:INDEX=/home/vmail/%n/indexes mailbox_idle_check_interval: 120 mail_debug: yes maildir_stat_dirs: yes mbox_write_locks: fcntl dotlock mail_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/rawlog /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/rawlog /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(managesieve): /usr/lib/dovecot/managesieve mail_plugins(default): autocreate mail_plugins(imap): autocreate mail_plugins(managesieve): mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(managesieve): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/managesieve mail_log_prefix: %Us(%n): namespace: type: private separator: . location: maildir:/home/vmail/%n/:CONTROL=/home/vmail/%n/control:INDEX=/home/vmail/%n/indexes:LAYOUT=maildir++ inbox: yes list: yes subscriptions: yes namespace: type: public separator: . prefix: Shared Folders. location: maildir:/home/vmail/folder-shared:CONTROL=/home/vmail/%n/shared.control/:INDEX=/home/vmail/%n/shared.indexes/:LAYOUT=maildir++ list: yes lda: postmaster_address: postmaster@.....de mail_plugins: sieve auth_socket_path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master deliver_log_format: msgid=%m: %$ log_path: /var/log/dovecot/dovecot-deliver.log info_log_path: /var/log/dovecot/dovecot-deliver.log mail_debug: yes auth default: mechanisms: plain login cache_size: 2048 username_format: %Ln worker_max_count: 25 passdb: driver: pam args: session=yes cache_key=%u dovecot passdb: driver: passwd-file args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-pwd.conf userdb: driver: static args: uid=1101 gid=1101 home=/home/vmail/%Lu socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 user: vmail group: vmail plugin: autocreate: Trash autocreate2: Spam autosubscribe: Trash autosubscribe2: Spam mail_log_events: delete undelete expunge copy mailbox_delete mailbox_rename mail_log_fields: uid box msgid size convert_skip_broken_mailboxes: no convert_skip_dotdirs: no sieve: /home/SIEVE-SCRIPTE/%Ln.sieve mail_debug: yes `------------------------------------- Can you please help me?

[Dovecot] Ok with a bit more wiki reading ...
by Chuck McManis 17 Jun '10

17 Jun '10

So if I want to run dovecot from tcpserver it seems like I can simply run `pop3-login --ssl` from tcpserver (its sort of like running it from inetd) and it says it will 'talk to dovecot'. Can I disable all listeners in dovecot then? Will is still talk to it? Trying some experiments now ... --Chuck

[Dovecot] Migrating from CommunigatePro to Dovecot - anyone done this?
by Gavin Lawrie 17 Jun '10

17 Jun '10

Apologies if this is in the archive - did look but couldn't find it. Does anyone have any experience of migrating from CommunigatePro to Dovecot? We currently run CGP 5.3.4, supporting a small system (20 or so users, one domain). We've been using it for years, and have a mixed bag of MailDir and mbox folders accessed via IMAP clients. Some users have large mail accounts (15GB total). We're looking to move as CGP is evolving into a complex "Messaging Centre" application (PBX, SIP, Mail, Groupware, Portals etc.) which we don't need / use. I had a look on the Dovecot Wiki and under migration are discussions about various other mail systems, but I don't know enough about these to tell if they would also apply to CGP. Any thoughts / suggestions would be welcomed. Thanks Gavin. * Balanced Scorecard Training from 2GC: Next course 16th July 2010 in the UK.

[Dovecot] search bug?
by Pozsar Balazs 16 Jun '10

16 Jun '10

Hi all, I have emails with multiple Delivered-To: headers in them. The problem is that the SEARCH command only searches in the first instances. For example: 1 FETCH 14557 BODY[HEADER.FIELDS (Delivered-To)] * 14557 FETCH (BODY[HEADER.FIELDS (DELIVERED-TO)] {85} Delivered-To: pozsy(a)ojjektum.uhulinux.hu Delivered-To: szamlagyar(a)uhusystems.com ) 1 OK Fetch completed. 1 SEARCH HEADER Delivered-To szamlagyar(a)uhusystems.com * SEARCH 14589 1 OK Search completed (0.146 secs). You can see the meesage with the id 14557 _has_ a "Delivered-To: szamlagyar(a)uhusystems.com" header field, but the SEARCH does not find it, only another message. This is with dovecot 1.2.11. For the record, cyrus-imapd behaves as I would have expected, and I could not find anything relevant in the RFCs. Could anyone tell me if this is a bug, or how to search like I would want? Thanks, Balazs Pozsar

[Dovecot] New admin, not much success
by Chuck McManis 16 Jun '10

16 Jun '10

Hello, I'm trying to set up something fairly simple (famous last words) using Dovecot. I have a very small setup (just a dozen users) I'm using qmail as my MTA. I'm running FreeBSD 8.0 I've got qmail delivering into a file named 'Mailbox' in user's home directories. I prefer not to use Maildir delivery because from a shell its a PITA to get a Maildir aware MUA (I use /bin/mail when I'm attached locally) What I'm trying to do is configure an SSL only POP3 server so that folks can retrieve their email on the road without divulging their passwords. My backup scenario is to put VPN software on my user's clients and having them VPN into the network and then do un-encrypted POP3 from the VPN. I prefer not to do this as it means maintaining the VPN client as well. Users have a mix of MacOS, Windows, and Linux. So, I can't get dovecot to work at all.

[Dovecot] Logout after SSL/TLS negociation
by bmfr 16 Jun '10

16 Jun '10

Hi All, I've set up Dovecot to use my signed SSL certificate and IMAP client is using STARTTLS on port 143 without secure authentication. The TLS negociation process seems to go through ok but once the negociation is finished the client sends an IMAP LOGOUT message; he does not try to authenticate, below is the Dovecot's info log: dovecot: 2010-06-15 15:37:01 Info: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=3932 dovecot: 2010-06-15 15:37:03 Info: imap-login: Aborted login (0 authentication attempts): rip=130.100.32.54, lip=10.0.3.3, TLS I've decrypted the TLS negociation thanks to Wireshark (in SSL preferences I added the certificate's private key to decode the stream between client and server) but unfortunately it does not say why the client is sending the LOGOUT command. Do you have an idea of what could be wrong in my server set up? What debugging process would you advise me to follow? Thanks a lot for your precious help.

[Dovecot] A new director service in v2.0 for NFS installations
by Timo Sirainen 16 Jun '10

16 Jun '10

As http://wiki.dovecot.org/NFS describes, the main problem with NFS has always been caching problems. One NFS client changes two files, but another NFS client sees only one of the changes, which Dovecot then assumes is caused by corruption. The recommended solution has always been to redirect the same user to only a single server at the same time. User doesn't have to be permanently assigned there, but as long as a server has some of user's files cached, it should be the only server accessing the user's mailbox. Recently I was thinking about a way to make this possible with an SQL database: http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2010-January/046112.html The company here in Italy didn't really like such idea, so I thought about making it more transparent and simpler to manage. The result is a new "director" service, which does basically the same thing, except without SQL database. The idea is that your load balancer can redirect connections to one or more Dovecot proxies, which internally then figure out where the user should go. So the proxies act kind of like a secondary load balancer layer. When a connection from a newly seen user arrives, it gets assigned to a mail server according to a function: host = vhosts[ md5(username) mod vhosts_count ] This way all of the proxies assign the same user to the same host without having to talk to each others. The vhosts[] is basically an array of hosts, except each host is initially listed there 100 times (vhost count=100). This vhost count can then be increased or decreased as necessary to change the host's load, probably automatically in future. The problem is then of course that if (v)hosts are added or removed, the above function will return a different host than was previously used for the same user. That's why there is also an in-memory database that keeps track of username -> (hostname, timestamp) mappings. Every new connection from user refreshes the timestamp. Also existing connections refresh the timestamp every n minutes. Once all connections are gone, the timestamp expires and the user is removed from database. The final problem then is how multiple proxies synchronize their state. The proxies connect to each others forming a connection ring. For example with 4 proxies the connections would go like A -> B -> C -> A. Each time a user is added/refreshed, a notification is sent to both directions in the ring (e.g. B sends to A and C), which in turn forward it until it reaches a server that has already seen it. This way if a proxy dies (or just hangs for a few seconds), the other proxies still get the changes without waiting for it to timeout. Host changes are replicated in the same way. It's possible that two connections from a user arrive to different proxies while (v)hosts are being added/removed. It's also possible that only one of the proxies has seen the host change. So the proxies could redirect users to different servers during that time. This can be prevented by doing a ring-wide sync, during which all proxies delay assigning hostnames to new users. This delay shouldn't be too bad because a) they should happen rarely, b) it should be over quickly, c) users already in database can still be redirected during the sync. The main complexity here comes from how to handle proxy server failures in different situations. Those are less interesting to describe and I haven't yet implemented all of it, so let's just assume that in future it all works perfectly. :) I was also thinking about writing a test program to simulate the director failures to make sure it all works. Finally, there are the doveadm commands that can be used to: 1) List the director status: # doveadm director status mail server ip vhosts users 11.22.3.44 100 1312 12.33.4.55 50 1424 1) Add a new mail server (defaults are in dovecot.conf): # doveadm director add 1.2.3.4 2) Change a mail server's vhost count to alter its connection count (also works during adding): # doveadm director add 1.2.3.4 50 3) Remove a mail server completely (because it's down): # doveadm director remove 1.2.3.4 If you want to slowly get users away from a specific server, you can assign its vhost count to 0 and wait for its user count to drop to zero. If the server is still working while "doveadm director remove" is called, new connections from the users in that server are going to other servers while the old ones are still being handled.

[Dovecot] Sieve doesn't appear to be active
by Darek M 16 Jun '10

16 Jun '10

I'm hoping that this isn't something stupid and that I'm not wasting bandwidth here, but I'm stuck and don't know any further ways of debugging this. And most non-documentation, end-user created info I find is for 1.0 with cmusieve. Running Dovecot 1.2.11 on Fedora Core 12. Added 'sieve' to 'mail_plugins'. Have enabled verbose logging with 'mail_debug = yes'. But I'm not seeing anything in the logs relating to sieve, and the sieve script I point to isn't being compiled (no .log file). Everything else works fine, this is a production system where I'm trying to add sieve support. What steps can I take to troubleshoot?

[Dovecot] passwd-file management utility
by Phil Howard 15 Jun '10

15 Jun '10

I'm now putting together tools/documentation to manage/administer the mail server, including, of course, managing users. Round one will be command line tools. In order to avoid re-invention, I was looking around for existing tools. I really cannot find any. So it seems I will be developing them. The first will be the one to manage users in the passwd-file format. So I'm just asking around if anyone has heard of such tools somewhere Google isn't finding (it does find lots of generic pages with the keywords used in other contexts). If not, I'll be building my own (and this will be for passwd-file format for the userdb/passdb),

[Dovecot] Maildir + /var/mail
by Greg Pearson 15 Jun '10

15 Jun '10

Hi, I have just switched to Maildir, and I have noticed something. Even though it works properly, I have noticed that a file named /var/mail/user with 0 bytes length is still created. Is this normal? I use sendmail+procmail+dovecot. I have also tried the combined procmail+deliver approach with the same results. I also use a global /etc/procmailrc. Thank you

[Dovecot] convert Plugin Error

[Dovecot] Ubuntu upgrade to 10.04 --> dovecot no longer working
by HenkR 14 Jun '10

14 Jun '10

Hi, Last year I installed dovecot on my Ubuntu V9 system 64 bit system. I use it to store emails from several clients in the LAN using IMAP. Last week I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04. Now Dovecot is no longer working. It started with messages about sieve, so I disabled sieve in the configuration file (did not use it in the past, don't know what it is). Dovecot can now be started without errors or warnings, but I cannot connect in the client. I get a message saying "could not connect to server: connection refused". Can anybody help? kind regards, Henk -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Ubuntu-upgrade-to-10.04---%3E-dovecot-no-longer-worki… Sent from the Dovecot mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Dovecot] v2.0.beta6 released

14 Jun '10

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/beta/dovecot-2.0.beta6.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/beta/dovecot-2.0.beta6.tar.gz.sig Unfortunately this still isn't rc1 yet, but the next one will be, I promise :) Basically all of the important changes are done now. The TODO list for rc1 is: - Test and fix dsync bugs - Finish director - Add man pages started by Pascal Volk. BTW. He asked for some feedback about them, but got only one reply: http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2010-June/049438.html I've also read through and answered nearly all of my email backlog. If you haven't gotten a reply, resend the mail. Some changes since beta5: - Added director: http://blog.dovecot.org/2010/05/new-director-service-in-v20-for-nfs.html - IMAP: Added STATUS (X-VSIZE) command for easily getting mailbox's virtual size. - Lots and lots of doveadm improvements and new commands - Postlogin scripts now need to be executed using "script-login", not "script" binary. - Quota warnings are executed now asynchronously using the new script binary. See http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.0/rev/a179fcbbf960 - Added passdb static for proxying and similar configurations - TLS SNI configuration must now be done using local_name {} blocks, not local {} - lib-storage plugin API changes, external plugins must be updated to work correctly - Lots of fixes

[Dovecot] Shared Mailbox Questions
by Chris Hobbs 11 Jun '10

11 Jun '10

Hi All, I've pored over the wiki, read through the archive, and have what I believe should be a working set-up, but I can't seem to get my shared namespace to work correctly. Any guidance would be much appreciated. I started off using a flat file for acl_shared_dict and ran into the same problem recently reported with the shared-database file getting chown'd to the first user to touch it with 0600 permissions. So I thought I'd give it a whirl with sqlite. Here are the (hopefully) relevant bits from dovecot -n (the entire output is posted below). This is dovecot 1.2.9 running on a freshly installed ubuntu 10.4 server: namespace: type: shared separator: / prefix: shared/%%u/ location: maildir:/home/staff/%%n/Maildir:INDEX=~/Maildir/shared/%%u list: children plugin: acl_shared_dict: proxy::acl dict: acl: sqlite:/etc/dovecot/acl-shared-dict.conf acl-shared-dict.conf looks like this: connect = /home/staff/dovecot/acl-shared-ns.sqlite map { table = acl_shared_ns pattern = shared/shared-boxes/user/$to/$from value_field = has_visible_folders fields { from_user = $from to_user = $to } } /home/staff/dovecot/acl-shared-ns.sqlite is set 0666, and I can add records to it from the sqlite command line as a normal user. The table was created with: CREATE TABLE acl_shared_ns (from_user, to_user, has_visible_folders, PRIMARY KEY (from_user) ON CONFLICT REPLACE); When I attempt to SETACL from a telnet imap session, I get the following errors in mail.err: Jun 9 22:10:23 imap2 dovecot: dict: dict sql iterate failed: file is encrypted or is not a database Jun 9 22:10:23 imap2 dovecot: dict: dict sql iterate failed: file is encrypted or is not a database Jun 9 22:10:23 imap2 dovecot: dict: sqlite: exec(INSERT INTO acl_shared_ns (has_visible_folders,to_user,from_user) VALUES ('1','chobbs','IOchoa')) failed: file is encrypted or is not a database (26) Jun 9 22:10:23 imap2 dovecot: IMAP(IOchoa): read(/var/run/dovecot/dict-server) failed: Remote disconnected Jun 9 22:10:23 imap2 dovecot: IMAP(IOchoa): acl: dict commit failed Jun 9 22:10:23 imap2 dovecot: dovecot: child 8268 (dict) killed with signal 11 (core dumps disabled) Running that same "INSERT INTO..." as the IOchoa user from the sqlite command line works just fine. At this point any further deleteacl or setacl commands simply hang, presumably because there's no longer a running dict process.

[Dovecot] "failed to store into mailbox 'INBOX': Not enough disk space." with large mail

[Dovecot] question about rpc quota reporting 1.2.11
by Tom Lieuallen 11 Jun '10

11 Jun '10

Timo, thank you for the reply to my question about shared folders yesterday. I'm now trying to get quota reporting working consistently. This is with dovecot 1.2.11 in solaris 10 sparc. We have local quotas for the mail spool (/a1) and quotas for home directories. All are UFS and have rpc (rquota) working fine. With just this: protocol imap { mail_plugins = quota imap_quota } My mail client (thunderbird 3.0.4) reported the home directory quota. So then I added this: plugin { quota = fs:INBOX:mount=/a1 quota2 = fs:Home:mount=%h } First, I had to make /a1/quotas world readable, otherwise I'd get this error: open(/a1/quotas) failed: Permission denied I'm getting the same type of error with the quota2 line now: open(/nfs/rack/u4/quotas) failed: Permission denied Since the home directory quota worked without the plugin configuration, my guess is that the plugin config is not using rpc. I can't find any way to force it to use rpc. Again, if I make that 'quotas' file world readable (which I believe isn't good practice), dovecot stops complaining. Also, what should I expect to see on the client? Will dovecot report only one quota (the one that's closer to the limit), or will it report both? I've only seen the first quota in thunderbird, but that could easily be a client issue. thank you Tom Lieuallen Oregon State University

[Dovecot] null errors from 2.0.beta5
by Mike Abbott 11 Jun '10

11 Jun '10

When my dovecot-2.0.beta5 auth module logs a 552-byte debug message, the message is split into two lines and also a null error message: Wed Jun 9 23:44:29 gromit dovecot[58892]: auth: Error: I think this has to do with the use of PIPE_BUF (512) sized buffers in the logging code, and the !line_is_ok() case in i_failure_parse_line(). Could you please remove the null error message? Just a nuisance, nothing serious. Thanks.

Hi, we've defined a public namespace "shared" and use the acl and lazy-expunge plugins among others. The problem is, that a mailbox is deleted by the DELETE-command without the x-flag to be set (# 1.2.9): a myrights shared/aclDeleteTest * MYRIGHTS "shared/aclDeleteTest" lrsed a OK Myrights completed. b delete shared/aclDeleteTest b OK Delete completed. c myrights shared/aclDeleteTest c NO Mailbox doesn't exist: aclDeleteTest This behavior should be different and the mailbox should not be deleted, should it? Is there a fast workaround? Without the e-flag, mailboxes can't be deleted. But as some users should be allowed to use the expunge operation, it's no option to remove the e-flag... thx Martin

[Dovecot] problems with shared mailboxes and other general issues
by Tom Lieuallen 11 Jun '10

11 Jun '10

I'm also having beginner's troubles with shared mailboxes with dovecot 1.2.11. I've used the TestInstallation instructions for connecting to the imap port via openssl and issuing the setacl/getacl commands. Those appear to be fine. I'm having real difficulty with the acl_shared_dict configuration. I'd prefer to just use a flat file, as I don't anticipate using shared folders very frequently. I don't need a database and would greatly prefer not to have a dependency on our database service. So, with this setting: acl_shared_dict = file:/private/dovecot/var/etc/shared-mailboxes The '../var/etc' directory is something like 755. I have to create the file first and make it 666. When it is updated, ownership & permissions are changed such that the user giving acl permissions then owns the file and it's 600. I tried setting it back to 644 afterward, so other users could read it, but they tried setting a lock in that dir as well. I tried this: acl_shared_dict = file:/private/dovecot/var/etc/shared-list/shared-mailboxes-%u Then I made shared-list have '1777' permissions. Permissions-wise, this will now work, including locks, but I'm guessing this is just plain wrong and I still can't verify access. My second choice was to use sqlite for this acl_shared_dict, but, even though I compiled dovecot with sqlite support and 'ldd' shows that '../libexec/dict' is linked against sqlite libraries, when I tried this config: acl_shared_dict = sqlite:/private/dovecot/etc/acl-shared-dict.conf I get this, and dovecot fails to start up. EUnknown dict module: sqlite I question whether I can use sqlite for acl_shared_dict. Furthermore, in this vein, I don't really know what the shared namespace should even look like. I've been trying the imap commands LIST and MYRIGHTS to verify access, but there are simply no examples. I'd rather expect this to work: x myrights shared/fromuser/folder but all I get is mailbox doesn't exist. I know 'shared' is the namespace, but I just don't know how it should really be referred to. Personally, I can live without the acl_shared_dict (from what I understand). I don't need to see the shared path for subscription, I'd just manually add the folder path to the .subscriptions file for the handful of users that need it. I just don't think it's working, though. On a related note, I thought I'd increase debugging to see if that helped out any. When I change 'mail_debug' to 'yes', as soon as I issue the imap login command, it logs some stuff, then kicks me out. Jun 09 15:57:53 IMAP(tom2): Info: acl: initializing backend with data: vfile Jun 09 15:57:53 IMAP(tom2): Info: acl: acl username = tom2 Jun 09 15:57:53 IMAP(tom2): Info: acl: owner = 1 Jun 09 15:57:53 dovecot: Error: child 6000 (imap) killed with signal 11 (core dumps disabled) I would assume this error is causing my problems, but for all I know, it could be a side-effect of verbose debugging -- to just terminate. I see nothing about that in the docs, though. imap works fine without verbose logging, so I'm baffled. I have been frustrated by the shared namespace documentation. I've been through it again and again, but haven't found the answers I've been looking for. Here is the relevant configuration: namespace shared { location = mbox:%%h/mail/shared:INDEX=%%h/mail/shared/.imap # everything else defaults } protocol imap { mail_plugins = quota imap_quota acl imap_acl } protocol lda { mail_plugins = acl } plugin { acl = vfile acl_shared_dict = file:/private/dovecot/var/etc/shared-list/shared-mailboxes-%u }

[Dovecot] Question about directory hashing
by Javier de Miguel Rodríguez 11 Jun '10

11 Jun '10

Hello I have been reading http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailLocation and http://wiki.dovecot.org/Variables and I do not fully understand the directory hashing feature. I want to migrate > 70.000 users from Sun Messaging to Dovecot using imapsync. I have tested with mail_location=maildir:/buzones/us.es/%1Hu/%2.1u/%n but I get the following directory tree: `-- 0 |-- - |-- 1 |-- 2 |-- 3 |-- 8 |-- _ |-- a |-- ab |-- b |-- c |-- d |-- e |-- ev |-- f |-- g |-- h |-- i |-- ie |-- is |-- j |-- jb |-- jj |-- jp |-- js |-- k |-- l |-- m |-- mb |-- n |-- o |-- p |-- pp |-- q |-- r |-- rm |-- s |-- t |-- u |-- v |-- w |-- x |-- y `-- z The ideal directory layout should be the following: First directory level: Letters from a to z Second directory level: Numbers from 0 to 200 Third directory level: %n (username without @domain) How can I achive this directory layout (or other optimized for 70.000 users) . I use ext3 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 with directory indexes on. Regards Javier de Miguel

[Dovecot] Evolution and Thunderbird do different things?
by Phil Howard 10 Jun '10

10 Jun '10

I'm trying both Evolution and Thunderbird on my IMAP server, and find that there are differences in how some things are done, between clients. Shouldn't there have been a standard way to do these things in the IMAP protocol? The first thing I noticed is that when deleting email from one client, it puts a "T" on the file name, leaving it where it is, and from the other client, it moves the mail to a ".Trash" directory on the server (and created a 2nd "Trash" folder ... so now I have 2 "Trash" folders, one with some deleted mail in it, and the other with some deleted mail in it). I'm not saying Dovecot has a problem here. But maybe IMAP the protocol does for not having a standard way to do things, and these clients, for not doing it the same way (if there is some standard somewhere). Any IMAP experts here know what the story is with this?

[Dovecot] Problem with LDAP query
by Aleix Dorca 10 Jun '10

10 Jun '10

Hi people, first message to this list. I've a problem with dovecot 1.0.15 (debian latest package) and an LDAP query. The situation is the following. My LDAP users have multiple mail addresses (field 'mail') and mail should be able to be sent to any of these and the mail should always end on the user's mailbox. This is not working for me now. My dovecot-ldap.conf relevant config shows: user-attrs = uid=user user_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(|(uid=%n)(mail=%u))) This correctly detects multiple addresses but mail always end in folder (from dovecot.conf): mail_location = maildir:/home/vmail/%n/Maildir So if user@domain gets a mail it ends in /home/vmail/user/Maildir but if the same user gets an email to user-alt@domain it ends in /home/vmail/user-alt/Maildir instead of /home/vmail/user/Maildir. I've been debugging and I get this on my mail.log file: Jun 10 12:41:29 horologium deliver(user-alt@domain): auth input: user-alt@domain Jun 10 12:41:29 horologium deliver(user-alt@domain): auth input: user=user Jun 10 12:41:29 horologium deliver(user-alt@domain): auth input: uid=5000 Jun 10 12:41:29 horologium deliver(user-alt@domain): auth input: gid=5000 Jun 10 12:41:29 horologium deliver(user-alt@domain): maildir: data=/home/vmail/user-alt/Maildir Jun 10 12:41:29 horologium deliver(user-alt@domain): maildir: root=/home/vmail/user-alt/Maildir, index=/home/vmail/user-alt/Maildir, control=, inbox= Since I'm in version 1.0.15 can't use the mailLocation with the $ substitution.

[Dovecot] converting from vm-pop3d
by Tim Uckun 09 Jun '10

09 Jun '10

Hello All. I am looking into an old server which is running vm-pop3d. This server is having problems because the pop3 server is taking up 100% of the CPU. I looked at the largest mailboxes and there are a handful over 20 megs in size, the largest one is 55megs, they are all mbox format (I think). I have been looking at the wiki and it looks like there is a perl script to make the mailboxes behave. There are also other scripts that try and convert mbox to maildir formats and from what I can gather dovecot can do this as well. Finally the dovecot in the fedora repos is 1.0.X and I notice that the latest in 1.2.X is there a more up to date dovecot RPM repo? I would appreciate any advice anybody can give me on how to proceed with this transition. Thank you in advance.

[Dovecot] Migration from Courier to Dovecot: is it recommended to "force" d.index* creation?
by Sandro Tosi 08 Jun '10

08 Jun '10

Hello, we are planning to migrate from Courier to Dovecot. We already know courier-dovecot-migrate.pl, that will convert UID list and subscriptions files to dovecot format, and we will run it in batch on all Maildir + enable it at login, once we do the switch But we are also wondering it it might be wise to "force" the creation of dovecot.index{,.cache} files at conversion-time. It seems that, at least, d.i.c is created at FETCH of a mail, i.e. reading it, but we do not want to "alter" mails status of our clients. Is there a way to create them in batch, or is it better to just let them be created once clients start accessing their mailboxes via dovecot? Thanks in advance, Sandro

[Dovecot] Problem after migrating from mbox to maildir and squirrelmail
by Wawan S 08 Jun '10

08 Jun '10

Hi all, I just finished migrating from mbox to maildir (and upgrade squirrelmail to the latest version) with some issue. We are using Postfix 2.3, Dovecot 1.2.7 and Squirrelmail 1.4.2. One of user report that suddenly all his Sent and Drafts emails were disapeared. After log in to webmail, I found out that there are 3 new folder called Drafts, Sent and Trash apart from Drafts,Sent,Trash underneath INBOX folder, and all his sent and draft emails were there. I thought I just move the email from Sent folder to the Sent underneath INBOX, but I was wrong. Now he got all sent emails in Sent items but after refreshed the webmail, INBOX wont open at all. it just blank but in the left side it said the amount of his email. what did i do wrong? is it something to do with the dovecot.index and index.cache or the uidlist? please enlighten me.... thank you Hendry

[Dovecot] dovecot transaction log permissions
by Jordan Tardif 08 Jun '10

08 Jun '10

So after some problems with NFS and transaction logs getting corrupted. Im tyring out storing them localy. via.. mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir:INDEX=/var/dovecot/indexes/%u the problem is with a large amount of users.. the indexes dir becomes huge with this setup. So a change to make this better is... mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir:INDEX=/var/dovecot/indexes/%d/%n to seperate the users dir's into domains. What seems to happen is dovecot creates the index's folder automaticly and its owned by that user.. eg.. drwx------ 3 10651674 2598184 4096 2010-06-02 19:08 domain.com this makes it so no other user of domain.com can get their transaction logs created cause the dir is owned by another user at that domain. Is there anyway around this? I see there used to be a umask option but that is gone in 1.2.x. -- Jordan Tardif DreamHost

[Dovecot] Questions about migration Sun Messaging -> Dovecot+Postfix+Ldap
by Javier de Miguel Rodríguez 07 Jun '10

07 Jun '10

Hello. We are planning a migration from Sun One Messaging Server to Dovecot+Postfix+Ldap. We are using Dovecot 1.2.11 with Sun One Directory Server 5.2 ldap (we will migrate to Directory Server 6.3.1) soon. In our University we have 65.000 students, 5.500 staff and 6.500 teachers. Our main ldap realm is dc=us,dc=es (us means University of Seville, Spain). We have two e-mail domains, @us.es (staff+teachers) and @alum.us.es (students). We use Sun One Directory Server to load data to our ldap from several sources (like Oracle databases, flat files, etc) Our ldap tree is like this: dc=us,dc=es | |----->ou=People,dc=us,dc=es // "special" users only used by apps | | |----->o=us.es,dc=us,dc=es // ldap branch for staff+teachers | | |----->o=alum.us.es,dc=us,dc=es // ldap branch for students A user id is unique, so there is only a "john_doe" in the ldap tree (I repeat, there is NOT uid=john_doe,o=us.es,dc=us,dc=es and uid=john_doe,o=alum.us.es,dc=us,dc=es). Below you will find a copy of the dovecot.conf and dovecot-ldap.conf. Our operating system is Red Hat Enteprise Linux 5 x64. These are our questions: 1) We are unable to make dbox work with quota, but we have no problem with maildir. Quota is stored in a ldap attibute called "mailQuota" 2) A user can be in different branches in the same time: for example, a teacher called pepito should be in the uid=pepito,o=us.es,dc=us,dc=es branch but if that teacher is also a student should have another ldap entry uid=pepitosurname,o=us.es,dc=us,dc=es. Our identity management is the piece of software that "promotes" a user in that case. How should we use "mail_location" to addres this? 3) We are planning to use two raid5 of 8 SAS 15.000 rpm disks for these mailboxes. We will use a "2.0, ajax-based webmail" like roundcube. Most of our users will use webmail (imap based). How many iops should we have in that enviroment? We would like to use dbox, but we are stuck in maildir because 1) 4) Some users could have their mailboxes "disabled". We use the following line: user_filter = (&(objectClass=inetorgperson)(uid=%n)(mailUserStatus=active)) but it does NOT work as expected. Any idea) 5) We are planning to use bacula to backup user mailboxes. Any known problem with this (i will ask in the bacula mailing list anyway) 6) I have read carefully perfomance in dovecot wiki. Can I use noatime in /etc/fstab safely with dovecot? Any perfomance hint apart from we already have in our config files? 7) When we set vacation messages they work but we see this error in the log: dovecot: deliver(jorgelp): file_dotlock_create(~/.dovecot.lda-dupes) failed: No such file or directory 8) When a user log in she uses his username "mary" (without @us.es or @alum.us.es) . Our dovecot search in all the ldap tree until it finds that uid. But we would like to store in our mail_location /buzones/us.es or /buzones/alum.us.es. How can we accomplish this? We should use the "upper branch name" as part of the mail_location. Thank you for your support (and for your patience).

Hi, While running imaptest with "clients=50 seed=123 msgs=100000000 random secs=600", I got errors : "Error: user(a)domain.com[55]: Unexpected BYE: * BYE IMAP session state is inconsistent, please relogin.". dovecot.log : Apr 03 10:23:47 imap(user(a)domain.com): Panic: file index- transaction.c: line 145 (index_transaction_rollback): assertion failed: (box->transaction_count > 0 || box->view->transactions == 0) Apr 03 10:23:47 imap(user(a)domain.com): Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/ local/dovecot2/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0 [0xb7e9adc1] -> /usr/local/ dovecot2/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0 [0xb7e9ae3f] -> /usr/local/ dovecot2/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_error+0) [0xb7e9b0f8] -> /usr/ local/dovecot2/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0 [0xb7f3e9c2] -> / usr/local/dovecot2/lib/dovecot/lib10_quota_plugin.so [0xb7cdaaea] -> / usr/local/dovecot2/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so. 0(mailbox_transaction_rollback+0x20) [0xb7ef03f0] -> /usr/local/ dovecot2/lib/dovecot/lib10_quota_plugin.so [0xb7cda323] -> /usr/local/ dovecot2/lib/dovecot/lib10_quota_plugin.so [0xb7cda4df] -> /usr/local/ dovecot2/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(maildir_sync_index+0x897) [0xb7f52bb7] -> /usr/local/dovecot2/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so. 0(maildir_transaction_save_commit_pre+0x710) [0xb7f50f70] -> /usr/ local/dovecot2/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0 [0xb7f3ee27] -> / usr/local/dovecot2/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so. 0(mail_index_transaction_commit_full+0x85) [0xb7f08ee5] -> /usr/local/ dovecot2/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(index_transaction_commit +0x83) [0xb7f3ea53] -> /usr/local/dovecot2/lib/dovecot/ lib10_quota_plugin.so [0xb7cdab81] -> /usr/local/dovecot2/lib/dovecot/ libdovecot-storage.so.0(mailbox_transaction_commit_get_changes+0x42) [0xb7ef0c72] -> dovecot/imap [user(a)domain.com 10.0.0.5 APPEND] [0x804eab2] -> dovecot/imap [user(a)domain.com 10.0.0.5 APPEND] [0x804e8cb] -> dovecot/imap [user(a)domain.com 10.0.0.5 APPEND] [0x804ed02] -> dovecot/imap [user(a)domain.com 10.0.0.5 APPEND] (cmd_append+0x1d9) [0x804f069] -> dovecot/imap [user(a)domain.com 10.0.0.5 APPEND] [0x80562dc] -> dovecot/imap [user(a)domain.com 10.0.0.5 APPEND] [0x8056379] -> dovecot/imap [user(a)domain.com 10.0.0.5 APPEND] (client_handle_input+0x2d) [0x80564ed] -> dovecot/imap [user(a)domain.com 10.0.0.5 APPEND](client_input+0x5f) [0x8056f0f] -> / usr/local/dovecot2/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run +0xf5) [0xb7ea7425] -> /usr/local/dovecot2/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so. 0(io_loop_run+0x30) [0xb7ea6470] -> /usr/local/dovecot2/lib/dovecot/ libdovecot.so.0(master_service_run+0x2a) [0xb7e93eaa] -> dovecot/imap [user(a)domain.com 10.0.0.5 APPEND](main+0x2ad) [0x805f9ed] -> /lib/i686/cmov/libc.so. 6(__libc_start_main+0xe5) [0xb7d0f455] Apr 03 10:23:47 master: Error: service(imap): child 27371 killed with signal 6 (core dumped) Apr 03 10:23:50 imap(user(a)domain.com): Error: dotlock /var/mail/d/ domain.com/user/Maildir/dovecot-uidlist.lock was immediately deleted under us Apr 03 10:23:50 imap(user(a)domain.com): Error: dotlock /var/mail/d/ domain.com/user/Maildir/dovecot-uidlist.lock was immediately deleted under us Apr 03 10:23:50 imap(user(a)domain.com): Warning: Our dotlock file /var/ mail/d/domain.com/user/Maildir/dovecot-uidlist.lock was deleted (locked 0 secs ago, touched 0 secs ago) Apr 03 10:23:50 imap(user(a)domain.com): Warning: Our dotlock file /var/ mail/d/domain.com/user/Maildir/dovecot-uidlist.lock was deleted (locked 0 secs ago, touched 0 secs ago) Apr 03 10:23:50 imap(user(a)domain.com): Error: Log synchronization error at seq=2,offset=8188 for /var/mail/dovecot_indexes/d/domain.com/ user/.INBOX/dovecot.index: Append with UID 32, but next_uid = 33 Apr 03 10:23:50 imap(user(a)domain.com): Warning: fscking index file / var/mail/dovecot_indexes/d/domain.com/user/.INBOX/dovecot.index Apr 03 10:23:50 imap(user(a)domain.com): Error: Log synchronization error at seq=2,offset=8188 for /var/mail/dovecot_indexes/d/domain.com/ user/.INBOX/dovecot.index: Append with UID 32, but next_uid = 33 Apr 03 10:23:50 imap(user(a)domain.com): Warning: fscking index file / var/mail/dovecot_indexes/d/domain.com/user/.INBOX/dovecot.index Apr 03 10:23:50 imap(user(a)domain.com): Warning: Our dotlock file /var/ mail/d/domain.com/user/Maildir/dovecot-uidlist.lock was overridden (locked 0 secs ago, touched 0 secs ago) Apr 03 10:23:50 imap(user(a)domain.com): Error: dotlock /var/mail/d/ domain.com/user/Maildir/dovecot-uidlist.lock was immediately recreated under us Apr 03 10:23:50 imap(user(a)domain.com): Error: Log synchronization error at seq=2,offset=8188 for /var/mail/dovecot_indexes/d/domain.com/ user/.INBOX/dovecot.index: Append with UID 32, but next_uid = 33 Apr 03 10:23:50 imap(user(a)domain.com): Warning: fscking index file / var/mail/dovecot_indexes/d/domain.com/user/.INBOX/dovecot.index The backtrace : Core was generated by `dovecot/imap'.

[Dovecot] mangled user_attrs from LDAP
by markham breitbach 07 Jun '10

07 Jun '10

I have setup dovecot to allow users to login using their email address or uid and have found a strange behaviour when the user logs in using the email address for a "username". I am using OpenLDAP for a backend data store with a rather customized schema. This behaviour occurs for both POP3 and IMAP logins. For some users it works as expected, but for others the pass_attrs->user does not get mapped back to the uid, but remains the mailLocalAddress (dovecot-ldap.conf is attached at the end of this post). Here is an excerpt from the logs for a working and a malfunctioning user.

This behaviour has been found with both OpenLDAP: slapd 2.3.39 and OpenLDAP: slapd 2.4.17, and is consistent with standard LDAP behaviour (ie, there is no guaranteed ordering in the LDAP database). A brief look at the code, seems to indicate that the values are being pulled from the LDAP return struct in a step-wise manner, which could certainly put them out of sync with the request if it is assumed that they will always be returned in the same order....This is just based on a quick review of the code though, and not any detailed tracing.

[Dovecot] Expunge Logging Patch
by James Devine 07 Jun '10

07 Jun '10

I have made some changes to the expunge logging as client->mailbox is set to NULL prior to one of the relevant calls. The change leaves mailbox in the function now and adds client. The modified patch to 1.2.11 is included.

[Dovecot] Ignoring the quota by the LDA?
by Holger Richter 07 Jun '10

07 Jun '10

Is it possible to configure dovecot in a manner that only the imap process respects the quota, and the local delivery ignores completely the quota? I think it should happen if I don't activate the quota plugin in the lda section but only in the imap section. protocol lda { ... # mail_plugins = ... } protocol imap { ... mail_plugins = quota imap_quota ... } Will it work or will it result in a big mess? I've the aim that a mail will never be rejected because the recipient is over his/her quota. Regards, Holger

[Dovecot] Problems with the IMAP proxy after upgrading from dovecot 1.1.16 to 1.211
by Holger Richter 07 Jun '10

07 Jun '10

We have frequent timeout problems after upgrading our imap servers from dovecot 1.1.16 to dovecot 1.2.11. One server acts as proxy only, and the other one is the "real" imap server". The credentials for the proxy service are stored in a remote MYSQL database. There were no trouble with dovecot 1.1.16. But now, with the most recent version, we get frequent login failures. It seems dovecot reconnects too late to the MySQL database after a timeout, after sending the SQL query. Here's a piece of my log file: May 7 14:46:32 ttt dovecot: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=5136 May 7 14:46:42 ttt dovecot: auth(default): client in: AUTH^I1^IPLAIN^Iservice=imap^Isecured^Ilip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx^Irip=yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy^Ilport=sss^Irport=26480^Iresp=<hidden> May 7 14:46:42 ttt dovecot: auth-worker(default): sql(uid,yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy): query: SELECT NULL as password, destuser, host, 'zzz' as port, 'Y' as proxy, '0' as proxy_timeout, 'Y' as nopassword, 'Y' as nodelay from accounts where user ='uid'; May 7 14:47:42 ttt dovecot: auth(default): worker-server(uid,yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy): Aborted: Lookup timed out May 7 14:47:42 ttt dovecot: auth-worker(default): mysql: Connected to lll.lll.lll.lll (imapauth) May 7 14:47:44 ttt dovecot: auth(default): client out: FAIL^I1^Iuser=uid^Itemp May 7 14:47:49 ttt dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=<uid>, method=PLAIN, rip=yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy, lip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, TLS May 7 14:48:26 ttt dovecot: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=5159 May 7 14:48:47 ttt dovecot: auth(default): client in: AUTH^I1^IPLAIN^Iservice=imap^Isecured^Ilip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx^Irip=yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy^Ilport=sss^Irport=6243^Iresp=<hidden> May 7 14:48:47 ttt dovecot: auth-worker(default): sql(uid,yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy): query: SELECT NULL as password, destuser, host, 'zzz' as port, 'Y' as proxy, '0' as proxy_timeout, 'Y' as nopassword, 'Y' as nodelay from accounts where user ='uid'; May 7 14:48:47 ttt dovecot: auth(default): client out: OK^I1^Iuser=uid^Idestuser=luid^Ihost=mmm.mmm.mmm.mmm^Iport=zzz^Iproxy^Iproxy_timeout=0^Ipass=<hidden> May 7 14:48:47 ttt dovecot: imap-login: proxy(uid): started proxying to mmm.mmm.mmm.mmm:zzz/luid: user=<uid>, method=PLAIN, rip=yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy, lip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, TLS May 7 14:48:48 ttt dovecot: imap-login: proxy(uid): disconnecting yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy As you can see, the second login attempt is always successful.

[Dovecot] authentification failure: double quotes in password
by Martin Ott 07 Jun '10

07 Jun '10

we use Passdb LDAP with authentication binds against an Active Directory Server. The problem with one of our users seems to be the usage of double quotes in his password, as the windows-login works: /var/log/dovecot-info.log auth(default): Info: ldap(testuser 77.22.xx.xxx): invalid credentials (given password: xxxxx"xxxxxxx) Which chars in passwords does the dovecot auth process not like? Is there something similar to auth_username_chars for passwords? thanks, martin

[Dovecot] DOES NOT PERTAIN TO DOVECOT: Does anyone use postfix for some help?
by Jerrale Gayle 05 Jun '10

05 Jun '10

When mail is sent from the mail server, it shows up as originating from the MAIN ip address of the server, 173.50.101.11, when the mail server is bound to 173.50.101.12. I have already set smtp_bind_address: 173.50.101.12 in main.cf and 173.50.101.12:smtp inet - - smtpd in master.cf. This prevents smtp connects TO any other ip but 173.50.101.12 BUT mail STILL shows up originating from eth1, where 173.50.101.12 is eth1:2 I think this is *nix related and most here, on dovecot mailing list, could provide help.

[Dovecot] Managesieve connection hangs with TLS
by Joel James Adamson 04 Jun '10

04 Jun '10

Hello, I've got dovecot 1.2.11 running on Fedora 12 (x86_64) with the managesieve protocol and sieve plugins enabled, with deliver handling local delivery. I've set disable_plaintext_auth = yes ssl = yes ssl_cert_file = /etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key_file = /etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem mail_debug = yes protocol managesieve { listen = *:2000 login_executable = /usr/libexec/dovecot/managesieve-login mail_executable = /usr/libexec/dovecot/managesieve } and generated local SSL certificates; everything is going fine on the IMAP end of things (clients ask if I trust the certificate the first time, etc). I've open the appropriate ports, etc. No problems with mail delivery. However, I can't connect to the managesieve daemon. I've tried the Emacs client[1], and it just hangs. I tried manual login to port 2000 and here's what happened: joel@chondestes: /etc/mail > gnutls-cli --starttls -p 2000 localhost Resolving 'localhost'...

Sorry to sound like such a newbie, but what do I need on the client end to complete the TLS transaction? What else do I need to set up to get managesieve to connect?

[Dovecot] dsync panic in dsync-worker-local.c - 2.0.beta4
by Frode Nordahl 04 Jun '10

04 Jun '10

Hello, While testing mailbox conversion I encountered a Panic in dsync on a few users mailboxes. Running dovecot 2.0.beta4 on RedHat Enterprise Linux 5 (x86_64). I tried to compile the code with -ggdb and debug some more before posting this, but I was unsuccessful. Running dsync from a source tree is hard because of all the dependencies on shares libraries. Is it possbile to build static binaries? Panic message and backtrace included below (anonymized): dsync(user): Error: o_stream_send_istream(/home/user/mdbox/storage/temp.1271871137.P25074Q1M330350.localhost.localdomain) failed: Bad file descriptor dsync(user): Panic: file dsync-worker-local.c: line 1460 (local_worker_save_msg_continue): assertion failed: (ret == -1) dsync(user): Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0 [0x3da92343a0] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(default_fatal_handler+0x37) [0x3da9234487] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0 [0x3da92338c8] -> /usr/bin/dsync [0x40db83] -> /usr/bin/dsync [0x40dc5e] -> /usr/bin/dsync(dsync_worker_msg_save+0x79) [0x40d429] -> /usr/bin/dsync [0x408b4c] -> /usr/bin/dsync [0x40d88d] -> /usr/bin/dsync(dsync_worker_msg_get+0x81) [0x40d061] -> /usr/bin/dsync [0x4085fe] -> /usr/bin/dsync [0x40868d] -> /usr/bin/dsync [0x4087d5] -> /usr/bin/dsync(dsync_brain_msg_sync_more+0x3f5) [0x408395] -> /usr/bin/dsync(dsync_brain_sync+0x93f) [0x40720f] -> /usr/bin/dsync [0x4078e0] -> /usr/bin/dsync(dsync_brain_sync+0x42e) [0x406cfe] -> /usr/bin/dsync [0x4079e1] -> /usr/bin/dsync(dsync_brain_sync+0x3f0) [0x406cc0] -> /usr/bin/dsync(dsync_brain_sync_all+0x18) [0x407728] -> /usr/bin/dsync(main+0x436) [0x406156] -> /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf4) [0x3d18a1d994] -> /usr/bin/dsync [0x405c29] -- Frode Nordahl

[Dovecot] 'doveadm who' enhancement request
by Brad Davidson 04 Jun '10

04 Jun '10

When Dovecot is in proxy mode, the client sends along the original connection endpoints in an ID command. Is there any chance 'doveadm who' could use this to display the original connection source? As it currently stands, all I see is a bunch of connections from the proxy. Thanks! --- Brandon 'Brad' Davidson Virtualization Systems Administrator University of Oregon Information Services (541) 346-8098 brandond(a)uoregon.edu

[Dovecot] v2.0.beta4: conversion of v1.2 configuration

Hi Timo, I've just tried to convert my v1.2 configuration to a v2.0 configuration. Below a few obsolete warnings, among others "mail_executable has been replaced by service { executable }", was an interesting error: "doveconf: Error: duplicate listener: 198:" The broken parts of the converted configuration: # 2.0.beta4 (84ffb38839b9): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-trunk-amd64 x86_64 Debian squeeze/sid listen = 192.168.111.222 [2a01 service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 198 } } service managesieve-login { inet_listener managesieve { port = 198 } } service managesieve { executable = /usr/lib/dovecot/rawlog /usr/lib/dovecot/managesieve } service pop3-login { inet_listener pop3 { port = 198 } } # missing section: #protocol lda { # … #} # missing setting #postmaster_address The corresponding parts from v1.2 configuration: protocols = imap imaps managesieve pop3 pop3s listen = 192.168.111.222 [2a01:198:37a:1::1] protocol managesieve { mail_executable = /usr/lib/dovecot/rawlog /usr/lib/dovecot/managesieve } protocol lda { postmaster_address = f007ba11.1008605(a)localdomain.org mail_plugins = sieve } Why is the lda section missing? Because it is not listed in v1.2's protocols setting? (only an idea/wild guess) Regards, Pascal -- The trapper recommends today: deadbeef.1008606(a)localdomain.org

[Dovecot] Auto forward virtual users mail using Sieve
by Julian Baker 04 Jun '10

04 Jun '10

Hi All I'm trying to configure Dovecot to automatically forward mail to another account without the virtual user having to log-in first to Roundcube web mail. These are virtual users with no log-in to the server only Roundcube's web interface The situation is that I have two domains only who want to receive email at their domains, get a forwarded copy at their hotmail account, then log-in to Roundcube to reply. A Sieve script running in Dovecot seems the way to go, but the finer points of configuration have failed me. I got as far as 1) /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf Adding: protocol lda { mail_plugins = cmusieve mail_plugin_dir = /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda } 2) /var/vmail/___domain___/___user___/.dovecot.sieve Created the .dovecot.sieve file in the domain/user directory and added: require ["fileinto ","reject","vacation","imapflags","relational","regex","notify"]; # Resend a copy of the message to another address # if true { redirect "julian(a)flatearth.co.uk"; } Which doesn't seem to have broken anything.

[Dovecot] auth socket goes away on reload
by David Jonas 03 Jun '10

03 Jun '10

We're using the SQLite backend for authentication of Postfix SASL. When the db is replaced we HUP dovecot to close and reopen its connection. During this time it appears the socket file is removed and Postfix rejects the authentication attempt. From the logs: Jun 3 00:23:02 xxx dovecot: dovecot: SIGHUP received - reloading configuration Jun 3 00:23:02 xxx postfix/smtpd[14746]: warning: SASL: Connect to private/auth failed: Connection refused Jun 3 00:23:02 xxx postfix/smtpd[14746]: warning: unknown[dd.dd.dd.dd]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed: Jun 3 00:23:02 xxx postfix/smtpd[14746]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from unknown[dd.dd.dd.dd]: 554 5.7.1 <user(a)example.com>: Relay access denied; from=<user2(a)example.com> to=<user(a)example.com> proto=ESMTP helo=<localhost.localdomain> Jun 3 00:23:02 xxx postfix/smtpd[14930]: warning: unknown[dd.dd.dd.dd]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed: Connection lost to authentication server Jun 3 00:23:02 xxx postfix/smtpd[14930]: lost connection after AUTH from unknown[dd.dd.dd.dd] Is there an obvious way around this? I know I could somehow merge the changes into the running sqlite db but that undermines the simplicity of the design I have. Maybe a patch to reopen the db if it's replaced? Or perhaps I should just switch to a different db format -- that's probably the quickest/easiest solution. Any other ideas? There are about 20k entries to deal with. Thanks, David

Hi, i think ive asked it before perhaps this feature can be included in dovecot2 couldnt get it run with dovecot 1.2.x if i use the postfixadmin superuser,domainadmin,domainuser layout so there are domainadmins defined in a sql table it would be a nice feature to break it down to be master only at there related domains via sql lookup at recent i think there is only the chance to give master rights to all adresses for users defined as masters -- Best Regards MfG Robert Schetterer Germany/Munich/Bavaria

[Dovecot] Dovecot aspects of fighting spam
by Phil Howard 02 Jun '10

02 Jun '10

I see no documents in the Dovecot documents wiki on how Dovecot features can be used in the fight against spam. One hit came up in a search, and it was about how to fight spam in the MoinMoin Wiki itself (e.g. TextCHAs and such). I already asked in another thread about removing message files at the search from a designated "learn-spam" folder. My next question would be how to automatically place detected spam into a specific folder for the user to access or ignore as they deem fit. That would seem to me to be something for the deliver command and its -m option. But this might be more of a Dovecot and MTA coordination issue, too (e.g. how to get the spam detection done in the MTA ... Postfix in my case ... to become a label of some sort that ends deciding the folder. The -m option might be harder to get it dynamically set since it would be hard coded in master.cf for Postfix (so a variable has to be able to direct it to INBOX in this case). But maybe the "standard" way of doing this is to shim another program between the MTA (Postfix for me) and the LDA (Dovecot deliver) to dynamically add the -m option on the fly? Lacking any other clever solution, this seems to me to be the way I could make it work. Maybe there is a special header deliver could detect, such as "X-Spam: yes"? A wiki document on how Dovecot helps (or how to help Dovecot) in the fight against spam, I think, would be helpful.

[Dovecot] configuring sendmail to work with dovecot+LDAP
by Douglas Maus 02 Jun '10

02 Jun '10

I would like to setup dovecot (1.1.20) with LDAP virtual users, but I don't seem to understand how to get my sendmail to accept mail for the virtual users. (I am rather new to this, so I may have some misunderstandings) I have followed - wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/DovecotOpenLdap (OpenLDAP 2.3.43) and I think I have IMAP working for virtual users. I can connect to port 143, enter a username and password and it works. Now I surmise I need to configure my SMTP server to accept mail for these LDAP virtual users, and deliver it appropriately. (The above HowTo doesn't address this step, from what I can tell) I read - wiki.dovecot.org/LDA and wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sendmail (I'm using OpenBSD 4.7, which uses sendmail for MTA / SMTP server, sendmail version 8.14.3) For sendmail.cf, I made the changes in my sendmail.mc file to include the dovecot mailer (calling /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver), and compiled with m4 and installed the new sendmail.cf For dovecot.conf, I edited the portions (abbreviated): protocol lda { auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master } and auth default { socket listen { master {path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master }}} When I try to test this, (telnet www.example.org 25) If I try: MAIL TO:jdoe@www.example.org I get "User unknown" I see that if I try: MAIL TO:jdoe@example.org I get "Relaying denied" Either way it doesn't get delivered. Thank you for any help. And if anyone knows a good basic tutorial for dovecot+LDAP+sendmail I would really appreciate it. dovecot -n (de-identified, and yes I know SSL is disabled, after it all works I'll fix it) ---------- # 1.1.20: /etc/dovecot.conf Warning: fd limit 128 is lower than what Dovecot can use under full load (more than 640).

I have recipient_delimiter = + in main.cf (Postfix). But deliveries to dovecot/deliver are still being rejected. It appears that the full email is still in the envelope (e.g. phil+howard(a)example.com which I want to be delivered to phil(a)example.com) Is that how it's supposed to work and Dovecot just doesn't support this?

[Dovecot] Intermittent timeout issues
by Del Stoliker 01 Jun '10

01 Jun '10

Greetings list! We've been experiencing an intermittent issue in which none users are able to log into the mail server for about 10 to 20 minutes. This issue first appeared on our CentOS 4 box running dovecot 1.2.11 after upgrading from the stock version 0.99. The issue persists after migrating our users to a CentOS 5 server - also running version dovecot 1.2.11 but now in the 64-bit flavor. Our users authenticate against LDAP via PAM in case that might be relevant. I've yet to find anything "of interest" in the logs covering the outages. But here is what I've noticed: * Users on our internal network are still able to authenticate and login. * Users from the outside are "Disconnected for inactivity" * Immediately after the restart, external users were able to log in again. It almost sounds like the firewall is blocking external access except that: * The version of dovecot was the thing that changed * Everything starts working again after a dovecot restart If anyone could provide some insight, I'd sure appreciate it.

[Dovecot] purge maildir folder after sa-learn
by Florian Effenberger 01 Jun '10

01 Jun '10

Hello, I am looking for a command-line utility to automatically purge one Maildir folder. I want to periodically run sa-learn from cron, and after the spam learning folder has been added to the Bayes database, its contents should be deleted. I've searched a bit, but only found a few old utilities or some telnet+expect scripts, which both didn't look too reliable. Is there any command-line utility to delete all contents of a Maildir folder, or is there any other solution? Thanks, Florian

Hello Dovecot admins. I've started writing manual pages for Dovecot v2.0. I'm sure they are not perfect yet. I'd like to ask you all to read the manual pages. It would be nice to get some ideas/suggestions/improvements. So that that the Dovecot v2.0.0 release could be distributed with /fine manuals/. The manual pages are available at: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/ManPages This is also the intended place for 'discussions' about the man pages.

[Dovecot] Error: file_dotlock_open() failed with file $FILE ENOENT

I've deleted some empty IMAP folders, using Thunderbird. But before deleting them, I had a look into Trash directory on the filesystem: /home/pvo/mdbox/mailboxes/Trash/ ├── dbox-Mails │ ├── dovecot.index │ ├── dovecot.index.backup │ ├── dovecot.index.cache │ └── dovecot.index.log ├── Dev │ └── dbox-Mails │ └── dovecot.index.log ├── S4 │ └── dbox-Mails │ └── dovecot.index.log └── Server4 └── dbox-Mails └── dovecot.index.log (Yeah, looks good, no dbox-GUID file.) After deleting all IMAP folders from Trash I found this lines in the log file: Apr 06 05:44:36 imap(pvo): Error: file_dotlock_open() failed with file /home/pvo/mdbox/mailboxes/Trash/S4/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index.log: No such file or directory Apr 06 05:44:36 imap(pvo): Error: file_dotlock_open() failed with file /home/pvo/mdbox/mailboxes/Trash/S4/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index.log: No such file or directory Regards, Pascal -- The trapper recommends today: fabaceae.1009606(a)localdomain.org

[Dovecot] dovecot-2.0-pigeonhole/ManageSieve: wrong service name
by Pascal Volk 31 May '10

31 May '10

Hi Stephan, ManageSieve uses the wrong™ service name for the authdb lookup. With dovecot-1.2-managesieve the service name was changed from 'managesieve' to 'sieve'. So I altered my table layout in order to make the query "SELECT userid AS "user", password FROM dovecotpassword('%Ln', '%Ld') WHERE %Ls" work again. When I try to login on the sieve port 4190/tcp, I find this in my dovecot.log: auth: Error: pgsql: Query failed, retrying: ERROR: column "managesieve" does not exist auth: Error: LINE 1: ...", password FROM dovecotpassword('user', 'example.org') WHERE managesiev...

[Dovecot] Permanent flags not announced and public mailbox with per-user index
by Julien Danjou 31 May '10

31 May '10

Hi, I've a set of public mailboxes that all users can access. The index is stored per user, so each user can mark the message as read for themselves. This is with dovecot 1.2.10. However, when selecting the mailbox, system flags are not announced as permanent but only as session flags: 3619 SELECT "public.Admin" * FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft) * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS ()] Read-only mailbox. * 324 EXISTS * 0 RECENT * OK [UNSEEN 171] First unseen. * OK [UIDVALIDITY 1254326934] UIDs valid * OK [UIDNEXT 1102] Predicted next UID * OK [HIGHESTMODSEQ 1] Highest 3445 OK [READ-ONLY] Select completed. I think (reading the RFC, but I bet you know it better than me) that FLAGS should also been set in PERMANENTFLAGS since they can be permanent. The relevant code seems to be in commands-util.c (dovecot 1.2.11): void client_send_mailbox_flags(struct client *client, bool selecting) { […] if (mailbox_is_readonly(client->mailbox)) { client_send_line(client, "* OK [PERMANENTFLAGS ()] " "Read-only mailbox."); } else { […] } } Even if it's true that the Maildir is read-only, it's still possible to store \Seen permanently. Am I getting things wrong, or is this a bug? If I'm correct, a simple fix MAY be not to send the PERMANENTFLAGS at all since the RFC says: OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (<list of flags>)] A list of message flags that the client can change permanently. If this is missing, the client should assume that all flags can be changed permanently. Thanks, -- Julien Danjou // ᐰ <julien(a)danjou.info> http://julien.danjou.info

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.0.beta5: dovecot-uidlist: Duplicate file entry at line X

31 May '10

Hi, I'm using dovecot 2.0.beta5 (IMAP and LMTP+sieve) and I'm getting lots of errors like this: Warning: /data/mail/4567/Maildir/dovecot-uidlist: Duplicate file entry at line 3: 1274182284.M635158P16414.mail,S=767,W=785:2,S (uid 5 -> 16) All data is stored on local disk (ext3, no NFS!). As this is a fresh installation of dovecot I do not know if older versions work better. One user complained about loosing email from inbox but I guess that's probably a user error :) I think that the error might be related to deliveries via LMTP as this (new) functionality has not been tested extensivly (?)

[Dovecot] 1.2.11, mbox, new mail
by Stan Hoeppner 31 May '10

31 May '10

With 1.2.11 and mbox storage, the delay time in pulling new mail headers to the client from imap folders seems to be directly proportional to mailbox size, regardless of the number of new messages. At present, if the mailbox is large, pulling new headers is rather painfully slow. Is this expected behavior? Especially given that the client already has all the "old" mails in the folder cached, and thus wouldn't be asking for them? Is there a setting(s) I can change to optimize/fix this? -- Stan

[Dovecot] strange sieve situation
by Andy Dills 31 May '10

31 May '10

Hi there, I've been working on rolling out the "deliver" service so we can implement sieve. Dovecot 1.2.11, Postfix 2.6.6, FreeBSD 8, installed by ports. Clustered environment, NFS backend. Everything is working great for the most part, I'm using it to sort a copy of my personal email on a test server. However, I noticed two emails were not properly sorted. I had added a rule (using Ingo, nice little piece of software) to redirect the nightly FreeBSD security output emails into a folder "servers". However, nothing had triggered that rule, and the "Maildir/.servers" directory had not yet been created. Then, three of the "security outputs" came in at one time: May 29 03:01:48 mg8 dovecot: deliver(andytest(a)xecu.net): sieve: msgid=<20100529070108.F2F0B7F5D4(a)mail-out04.xecu.net>: failed to store into mailbox 'servers': Mailbox already exists May 29 03:01:48 mg8 dovecot: deliver(andytest(a)xecu.net): sieve: msgid=<20100529070109.D8F5E159913(a)mail-out01.xecu.net>: failed to store into mailbox 'servers': Mailbox already exists May 29 03:01:48 mg8 dovecot: deliver(andytest(a)xecu.net): sieve: msgid=<20100529070109.D8F5E159913(a)mail-out01.xecu.net>: stored mail into mailbox 'INBOX' May 29 03:01:48 mg8 dovecot: deliver(andytest(a)xecu.net): sieve: execution of script /mail/var/mail2/xecunet/andytest.xecu.net//.dovecot.sieve failed, but implicit keep was successful May 29 03:01:48 mg8 dovecot: deliver(andytest(a)xecu.net): sieve: msgid=<20100529070110.17A781B53B9(a)mail-out02.xecu.net>: stored mail into mailbox 'servers' May 29 03:01:48 mg8 dovecot: deliver(andytest(a)xecu.net): sieve: msgid=<20100529070108.F2F0B7F5D4(a)mail-out04.xecu.net>: stored mail into mailbox 'INBOX' May 29 03:01:48 mg8 dovecot: deliver(andytest(a)xecu.net): sieve: execution of script /mail/var/mail2/xecunet/andytest.xecu.net//.dovecot.sieve failed, but implicit keep was successful That's the order they appeared in my logfile. I'm assuming they were all sent to deliver at the same time, they all thought they needed to make the directory, the one with msgid 20100529070110.17A781B53B9(a)mail-out02.xecu.net was able to make the directory and get delivered, whereas the other two freaked out because they couldn't make the directory they thought needed to be made, and just sent the mail to the inbox. That's a reasonable approach, although I wonder if deliver/sieve could be (or perhaps "has been in 2.0") adjusted to more intelligently handle that edge case. Also, I'm wondering about "dovecot_destination_recipient_limit = 1". I have that set in my main.cf, but I'm not 100% positive it's taking effect. # grep dovecot /usr/local/etc/postfix/main.cf dovecot_destination_recipient_limit = 1 virtual_transport = dovecot # grep dovecot /usr/local/etc/postfix/master.cf dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=mailman argv=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -f ${sender} -d ${recipient} # postconf | grep dovecot smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot virtual_transport = dovecot # postconf | grep destination_recipient_limit default_destination_recipient_limit = 50 lmtp_destination_recipient_limit = $default_destination_recipient_limit local_destination_recipient_limit = 1 relay_destination_recipient_limit = $default_destination_recipient_limit smtp_destination_recipient_limit = $default_destination_recipient_limit virtual_destination_recipient_limit = $default_destination_recipient_limit Is "dovecot_destination_recipient_limit" being converted into local_ ?

[Dovecot] Unresolved client rejection
by Greg Pearson 31 May '10

31 May '10

Hi, would it be possible to prevent users who try to login from an unresolved IP from connecting to Dovecot IMAP? I have a suspicion that it should be done via the authentication module (ie PAM) but I am not sure (if this is the case could someone recommend a good resource or even a solution). For example sendmail has a relevant macro to achieve this, I was wondering if Dovecot can have similar behavior. Thanks

[Dovecot] imap folder aliases for different mail clients naming convention

Hi, sorry if this was asked before and/or if there is allready a solution different imap mail clients, have different imap folder naming conventions typical by sent , trash, spam i normally use thunderbird conventions, as its working on all major plattforms and configure hord/imp , squirrelmail to use it like thunderbird does, additional i use autocreate with this folders it would be nice to alias other mail clients naming conventions to TB folder naming conventions without poke around with i.e symlinks etc, i guess there might be some solution with namespaces but i hope i could be done more easy eventually with a alias plugin etc? -- Best Regards MfG Robert Schetterer Germany/Munich/Bavaria

[Dovecot] Dovecot 1.2 - Quotas - Ignoring Trash folder
by Shayne Jellesma 30 May '10

30 May '10

Hello guys, Firstly I would like to state that I am fairly new to Dovecot. I have played around with it in the past here and there but mainly with debian packages. I have compiled this version of Dovecot from source, so please go easy with me. Ok now down to my questions: I am having trouble getting Dovecot to 'ignore' the Trash folder when summing up the used quota for a user. I am running Dovecot 1.2.11 (with LDA), Postfix 2.5.5, and Postfixadmin 2.3. I am able to send and receive emails fine. Roundcube displays the quota used but this quota also counts what is in the users Trash can. Postfix is configured to hand over delivering of the mail to Dovecot.

[Dovecot] Problems with Outlook clients after a migration
by Joseba Torre 28 May '10

28 May '10

Hi, I'm doing the final tests before I migrate my 10000 users from RHEL 4 + dovecot 1.1.20 to RHEL5 + dovecot 1.2.11, and I'm having some serious problems with outlook 2007 clients disconnecting very often. In dovecot's log I see lot of connects and disconnects from these clients (as oposed to my kmail, that just connects once when I come in and disconnects when I shut it off). After unchecking the "chek every X minutes" thing in outlook I get fewer of those -while functionality remains-, but the main problem still persists: every now and then (more or less 30 mins), the client disconnects, and sometimes the client goes offline. This didn't happen with my previous setup. I use the outlook-idle workaround, but it doesn't seem to make any difference. Any ideas?

[Dovecot] Cannot Access Inbox
by robertober 27 May '10

27 May '10

Hello Folks, Yesterday while messing around with procmail for SpamAssassin I had my IMAP client open and it lost it's ability to see my Inbox except for two messages. I tried another IMAP client and no success. I can see all other directories such as sent and the ones I have made. The mbox file is there and catable/grepable. I even made a new one. I can read a test account Inbox from the same server with my usual client. Also my small number of other users appear to be using pop3 as normal. Tried so far: * Multiple clients including pop3. * Removed spamd and procmail stuff. * Various permissions. * New mbox. * Restart everything, although I am not sure I rebooted the server last night. * Searched for lock files that may need to be deleted. * Googled. Server setup: * Mandriva Linux 2009.1 * Dovecot 1.1.13 * Postfix 2.5.6 The mailbox in question is my business and some personal email so I would greatly appreciate any help towards fixing this issue. I am self-employed and largely out of business without my email. Thanks, Robert A. Ober

[Dovecot] symlinking maildirs
by Phil Howard 27 May '10

27 May '10

I have some emails that I think are in the Postfix delivery queue going to Dovecot, but didn't get mapped to their alias (because I didn't have all the alias entries in when they were queued). I'm wondering if this trick would work. I have the mail being delivered to /home/mail/%Ld/%Ln/mail and am wondering if I could make a symlink at /home/mail/example.com/foo -> bar and add a dummy password for foo(a)example.com and have that mail trying to go to foo(a)example.com really go to bar@example and make a successful delivery (it is soft bouncing right now).

Dear All, I use postfix and dovecot (1.1.11) combo with maildir format. I would have a question about dovecot config. Can I confiugre dovecot to download mails from IMAP folders via POP3? Now, mails can be downloaded only from .INBOX. My dovecot.conf file: .... mail_location = maildir:/home/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir namespace private { separator = . prefix = INBOX. #location = mail_location = maildir:/home/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir inbox = yes #hidden = yes } mail_privileged_group = mail .... Thank you for any help, Janos, Vincze

[Dovecot] Overly long email of miscellaneous Dovecot migration questions
by Mark Moseley 27 May '10

27 May '10

Hello to the list! I've been asked to spec out the feasibility and, if feasible, plan a migration from Courier to Dovecot for both POP3 and IMAP for about 4 million mailboxes. I've been trying to absorb all the dovecot-related info I could over the past couple of weeks from the docs and from the list and I'm sure that I've muddled at least some of it, so apologies in advance if I make grossly incorrect assumptions. BTW, sorry for the giant email but I've got a bunch of questions. This is the sort of overly wordy email that makes my eyes glaze over in mailing lists. But I've got things configured to where (I think) everything will 'just work' if we migrate (barring running POP3 mailbox conversions), so I'm not looking for configuration help, just gotchas and assumption-checking mostly. Me breaking 4 million mailboxes isn't really a good move for my job security ;) * Since Dovecot 2.0 seems like it's just around the corner, that's all I've been testing, and indeed all I've even looked at. * This is a pretty fantastic piece of software. I love the neat little details that make admins' lives easier, e.g. how easy it is to use multiple SSL certs in the same server. That made me smile. I hadn't looked at dovecot in a number of years, so I was really impressed at the full feature set. It's been a while since I've played with a new server application that I've enjoyed this much. * Background: All of our mail is stored on NFS and will be for the foreseeable future, all in maildir format. Courier POP3/IMAP runs on load balanced Linux servers, so clients will be hitting multiple servers, though stickiness based on client IP address is currently done. Webmail as well is done on top of a local Courier IMAP server accessing the same NFS servers but on an entirely different pool of servers. All authentication is done against SQL. Courier has been very, very good to us over the past 9 years, but our NFS servers (12 Netapps) are unfortunately being beaten to death. We've got lots of users with thousands of emails in their inbox (i.e. in ./Maildir/cur/ alone) and I've seen plenty of mailboxes with 10's of thousands in their inbox and I've even seen some really scary ones approaching 100k emails just in cur/. Thanks to an endless cycle of industry raising mailbox limits, we actually have to support this (though not so much the 100k message ones, at least). * Our #1 main motivation for looking Dovecot is relief for our currently overtaxed NFS servers, mostly in the form of the index files. Benchmarking dovecot looks great, even with the index files in the maildir. I know the cool thing to do would be to move the index files to a separate NFS server running entirely on SSDs for the fastest accesses possible. Building a separate index NFS cluster obviously adds complexity and performance with the index files in the maildir seems pretty great already. But I also know that real life often makes assumptions made during benchmarks look very foolish. My inclination is to try things out with the indexes in the maildir directory (and then start looking at moving to a dedicated NFS server for the indexes in a subsequent phase) but I don't want to regret that choice later. Anybody with large-scale NFS maildir stores have any advice either way? * Exim: We currently deliver all of our mail via Exim on separate servers. Our POP3/IMAP servers only do POP3/IMAP and the Exim mail servers delivering to maildirs only do Exim. From what I've seen in the docs and various threads, from what I can gather, the best thing to do in that case would be to use Exim's built-in maildir handling, instead of using 'deliver'. That would be my preference anyway, but I wanted to make sure I didn't misinterpret things. * Any problems running Courier POP3 and Dovecot IMAP for a while, possibly Courier IMAP and Dovecot IMAP concurrently?: Since migrating POP mailboxes is going to be a mighty task, our gameplan would probably be to start migrating *just* IMAP services at first and likely on just a few servers at a time. Being load balanced, there are several scenarios where a user could theoretically access a mailbox on different servers and therefore end up hitting dovecot at one point in time and then later hitting courier or vice versa. Or they could use IMAP from one location and POP3 (during the span of time before we migrated our POP3 services) from another. I've not yet seen any side effects from switching mail servers like that (though I'm aware of what would happen if both dovecot and courier *POP3* were in service at the same time -- redownloaded mail, bleh). Has anyone seen otherwise? I'm not worried as much by the 0.1% of IMAP users who might be using advanced features but rather the other 99.9% who are using it pretty vanilla-ishly. * Union mailboxes: I'm pretty sure in a fairly recent thread that Timo said that something like a 'union' mailbox (at least with maildir) wasn't possible. I tried messing with multiple 'private' namespaces (i.e. a namespace called "ARCHIVE" with a "location" different than the INBOX location, ideally placed on slower but denser NFS servers) but even with 'hidden=no' and 'list=yes', only the main INBOX folders would show up, so I'm guessing that's not going to work. That would be a killer feature, to be able to serve an alternate namespace that would show up in a mail client's subscribable list that could be on slower storage than the main inbox (though I'm not sure a mail client can even handle multiple namespaces). * Any problems with keeping only quota limits in db and not current quota numbers? Our limits come out of a SQL table but the current counts just live in the maildir file. Trying to update quota counts in SQL for 4 million mailboxes is a non-starter for us at this point. >From what I've done, dovecot seems pretty happy to maintain the quota using the 'maildir' quota plugin but let it be overridden by the userdb lookup. So I think I'm fine on that count, but I'd love to hear from anyone knowing of extreme gotchas doing it that way. * Any problem with leaving the namespace in "Courier compatibility" mode? I.e. in namespace 'private', leaving "prefix = INBOX.". With 4 million mailboxes, FAQs all over the place, and support reps trained in a particular way of doing things in IMAP, it'd be hellish to try to change the prefix (I know I could leave the courier namespace around with 'hidden=yes' but retraining support staff is perhaps better left to phase #2). Do I lose anything besides tidiness by not changing it to "prefix =" as if I was deploying dovecot from scratch? Does it hurt performance in any significant way? Benchmarking doesn't look any different, so I'm guessing not. * One thing that threw me and might be good for a FAQ (unless it was just me misconfiguring things) was when I started playing with putting the index files in an alternate location. I was utterly perplexed why it'd create the directories for the indexes but they'd be empty. Based on their location and names when they're in the maildir, I was just looking for the same dovecot.index* files right in the alternate directory. It wasn't till I started strace'ing that I noticed that the index files were indeed getting created but in a subdirectory called .INBOX (and with me just doing 'ls'). * The courier-dovecot-migrate.pl does a fine job at converting our POP3 mailboxes. We'll definitely be doing a mass run of it across all of our mailboxes. But with this many mailboxes, there's no way to get around the time lag between the script getting run and new mail showing up. Which means that there'll be some number of new messages that will re-download in POP3 when the switchover to Dovecot POP3 is done. To keep from getting too many complaints from customers, I'm thinking that I might have to write a wrapper script to do something like compare the mtime of ./Maildir/new/ against dovecot-uidlist and overwrite if ./Maildir/new/ is newer or perhaps see if the mtime of courierpop3dsizelist is newer than dovecot-uidlist and only if that's the case execute the conversion script with --overwrite. Considering we get between 500-2000 POP3 logins/sec, running any script after a POP3 login terrifies me--even a 6 line bash script. Anybody have any opinions to share on that? With a pooled architecture, it's near impossible to only have some mailboxes hit Courier and some hit Dovecot and keep slowly incrementing. At best my available units of increments to migrate are a few thousand at a time and more realistically 10-20k at a time. If we're going to have to live with users complaining about a one-time redownload of just post-conversion mail, I'll need to get started convincing the higher-ups that that's life. A big thanks to anyone who even actually reads this entire tedious email and a tremendous thanks to anyone who actually replies to any of it!

[Dovecot] listescape und sieve
by Heiko Schlittermann 27 May '10

27 May '10

Hello, bug or feature? I'm using Dovecot 1.2.11. And because of a migration projekt I'm tempted to use the listescape plugin. If I understood well, it plugin { escape_char = "%" } should change the escape character to %. But it doesnt. Bug or feature? But more important: # sieve fileinto "a.b"; does not work as expected - the folder is visible as "a.b" in a normal imap client - because of the listescape plugin. # sieve fileinto "a\\2eb"; works. But the user won't understand this. Any ideas?

[Dovecot] mdbox: Is there any more info on the "cleanup" step? (Dovecot 2.0beta5)
by William Blunn 26 May '10

26 May '10

The wiki page which mentions mdbox talks about a "cleanup" step for mdbox: : The space is later freed in "cleanup" step. This may be done : automatically within the session or later in a nightly cronjob when : there's less disk I/O. The cleanup first finds all files that have : refcount=0 mails. Then it goes through each file and copies the : refcount>0 mails to other dbox files (to the same files as where newly : saved messages would also go), updates the map index and finally : deletes the original file. So there is never any overwriting or file : truncation. I was wondering if there was any code to actually do this, or any command-line tools (and if either of those where they might be), or whether it was just design musings at the minute. Regards, Bill

[Dovecot] mdbox: What format is the file "storage/dovecot.map.index" in? (Dovecot 2.0beta5)
by William Blunn 26 May '10

26 May '10

I am looking at "mdbox" under Dovecot 2.0beta5. Looking at the documentation for "mdbox" I saw that we had a directory "storage" containing files "m.#" where "#" is an integer and a map file ("dovecot.map.index"). I think I expected the map file to be a plain text file with one record per line, but in fact it appears to contain binary data. According to the wiki ( http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/dbox ) the records go as: - map_uid: Unique growing 32 bit number for the message. - refcount: 16 bit reference counter for this message. Each time the message is copied the refcount is increased. - file_id: File number containing the message. For example if file_id=5, the message is in file m.5. - offset: Offset to message within the file. - size: Space used by the message in the file, including all metadata. The map file I have here is 1688 bytes in size (and I think there are 64 messages stored). Prime factors of 1688 are 2^3 x 211, so I think it is something other than just a straight array of fixed-size structures. Still, I can always look at the source if I really want to know :-) Regards, Bill

But the whole point of the code is to get number of affected rows for previous UPDATE, so that if there is no quota row for user, the quota gets recalculated.

[Dovecot] newbie question about shared folders
by Tom Lieuallen 26 May '10

26 May '10

I'm preparing to move our site to dovecot 1.2.11 and have a question about shared folders. We're currently using UW imap's mbx mailboxes for shared folders. We accomplish the sharing by use of file system permissions and ACLs. I notice that dovecot's method of sharing is more based on IMAP ACLs and apparently file system permissions are useful, but not necessary. On the main dovecot page, it says: "Dovecot allows mailboxes and their indexes to be modified by multiple computers at the same time..." So, my question is whether I need to use the dovecot imap sharing namespace in order to safely share imap folders, or whether I can just use file system permissions as we have been using? My biggest concern is safe concurrent access to the shared folders, which I'm planning to implent with mbox files for now. thank you Tom Lieuallen Oregon State University College of Engineering

[Dovecot] Busy looping of 2.0Beta4 on NetBSD-current
by Scott Ellis 26 May '10

26 May '10

I built and install Dovecot 2.0Beta4 on my NetBSD/amd64-current system, and am seeing the user-owned imap processes busy-looping. In Dovecot 1.2.x (and 1.x and 0.x..) I force ionotify and ioloop to kqueue, so I suspected that was the problem. Turns out it's not: Using poll or none also causes the same problem. This did not happen in 1.2.8 (didn't try anything later than that). After a quick visit to gdb, I added some i_debug() statements in ioloop-kqueue.c (when I had that as the notify and loop method) which showed that the loop was in io_loop_handler_run() . I haven't done any similar debugging for the other ioloop methods, but a quick look at the 2.0 changelog for those files doesn't raise any immediate alarms. Any ideas what to look for here? Timo, any ideas? 1.2.x worked perfectly so it's something "new" in 2.0. ScottE

[Dovecot] quota and lazy_expunge plugins both used: quotas go wrong with lazy_expunge'd mails
by Baptiste Malguy 26 May '10

26 May '10

Hello, I may have missed a point, but I could have found an issue between plugins quota and lazy_expunge. I have noticed that the "lazy_expunge"d mails are counted as part of the quota, while the documentation says it should not be. I have first tried to find out if this was a configuration mistake somewhere. Notably, you can notice that the expunged mails are in directory ~/expunged while the usual mail is in ~/Maildir : expunged mails are not in a subdirectory of ~/Maildir (this was just to make sure there were no side effect with this). I have deleted some expunged mails to be sure : at its next cycle, the file ~/Maildir/maildirsize contained expected value. So yes, I do know expunged mails in the expunged directory are counted (size, number of mails). So I've taken a look at the source code, adding some i_info(...) at different places of the quota and lazy_expunge plugins. >From the source code reading session, I understand that : 1. In src/lazy-expunge/lazy-expunge-plugin.c 1.1. lazy_expunge_mail_storage_init() sets the expunged mails namespace flag with NAMESPACE_FLAG_NOQUOTA 1.2. lazy_expunge_mail_storage_init() is called by lazy_expunge_mail_storage_created() 1.3. lazy_expunge_mail_storage_created() is part of the callback list hook_mail_storage_create 2. In src/plugins/quota/quota-storage.c: 2.1. The only place in the whole dovecot source code where NAMESPACE_FLAG_NOQUOTA is checked is in function quota_mailbox_list_created() 3. In src/plugins/quota/quota-plugin.c: 3.1 quota_plugin_init() add quota_mailbox_list_created() to the callback list hook_mailbox_list_created. >From my observations : - Callback functions in quota_mailbox_list_created are called _before_ callback functions in hook_mail_storage_create. - This observation led me to move the piece of code that sets NAMESPACE_FLAG_NOQUOTA from lazy_expunge_mail_storage_init() to lazy_expunge_mail_storage_created(). - But there, lazy_expunge_mail_storage_created() is called after quota_mail_storage_created() because names of the library files are lib10_quota_plugin.so and lib02_lazy_expunge_plugin.so. - There I have also learnt that callback functions of the same list are called in the reverse order compared to the library filenames. So see if my observations were right, I have renamed lib10_quota_plugin.so to lib01_quota_plugin.so, then it worked. But I doubt this is the right way to fix it. This also reverses the order other callbacks between the two plugins are called, which migh not be expected at all. I'm not event sure moving some code from lazy_expunge_mail_storage_init() to lazy_expunge_mail_storage_created() was right : I've improvized the reading the source code and do not understand the whole logic, so I suppose this could break something else. Timo, what do you propose ? Thanks for your great software. -- Baptiste MALGUY PGP fingerprint: 49B0 4F6E 4AA8 B149 B2DF 9267 0F65 6C1C C473 6EC2

[Dovecot] Zlib plugin dovecot 2.0beta4
by Alex Baule 26 May '10

26 May '10

Hi Timo... I made the plugin like you say. The header part is saved by dovecot, with o_stream_send , and the body with my function. This implementation, works fine. But i need to get / change some values to create the "link" from header to body. When a email is saved, have the S an W flags, that is the size of email. There is a way to increase this Flags ? I need to put one more line in the header, to have some link to body. To Increase the S Flag i increase the ostream.offset, but the W is based in the offset from istream, that's right ? There is a way to do this without rewrite the read function !? Exemple, when the email is moved from tmp to cur.

Hello. I need to know how I can get the final message file name inside a plugin like the zlib 2.0 plugin. I saw another threads about zlib plugin, but don't see no one asking about this. My interest is to use the message's file name in a specific function that will add some lines on it and, after that, calculate a md5 hash of the modified file. As the size flags will not correspond to the effective message size/vsize, then I could change the flags using the filename too, right? This is my first approach. But... There are another way to do this directly on message been received by the plugin, like pre-allocating the size/vsize flags? I cannot simply to pass the extra text directly on the message being received because I need to do some extra validations over the full content of the message before add my data on the message. Thank's Everybody _________________________________________________________________ O seu navegador também te ajuda a ficar longe de vírus.

[Dovecot] corrupted transaction log errors causing users mail to disappear temporarily
by Jordan Tardif 26 May '10

26 May '10

So Ive been looking into some problems with users reporting their mail goes missing for a second but then re-apears very soon after. I have tracked it down to happening at the same time these appear in the logs. Seems the transaction logs is getting corrupted somehow and then rebuilding itself (which works fine). The problem is while its re-builing the users think all of their mail is gone. May 3 09:35:52 mailmachine dovecot: IMAP(test(a)domain.com): Corrupted transaction log file usershomedir/Maildir/dovecot.index.log seq 3: Invalid transaction log size (32708 vs 32840): usershomedir/Maildir/dovecot.index.log (sync_offset=32708) We are using load balanced servers and data/index's are stored in their home dir's over nfs. All my config details and nfs options are below. We are currently balancing based on source address so most of the time users imap/pop processes should stick to one machine as much as possible. Does anyone know of a way to rid of this problem, or at least make it so dovecot just returns a server error to the imap/pop client instead of showing them a blank index? #nfs options defaults,intr,vers=3,bg,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,proto=udp 0 0 # 1.2.11: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.29.2-xenon-mail-ipv6-grsec x86_64 Debian 5.0.1 log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: imap pop3 listen(default): *:143 listen(imap): *:143 listen(pop3): *:110 disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /usr/var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login login_user: dhmail login_process_per_connection: no login_processes_count: 150 login_max_processes_count: 1000 login_max_connections: 3000 max_mail_processes: 2500 mail_max_userip_connections: 7 first_valid_uid: 100 mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir mmap_disable: yes mail_nfs_index: yes mail_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 pop3_uidl_format(default): %08Xu%08Xv pop3_uidl_format(imap): %08Xu%08Xv pop3_uidl_format(pop3): UID%u-%v -- Jordan Tardif DreamHost

[Dovecot] Where should I define mail_uid for deliver LDA?
by Alex 26 May '10

26 May '10

Hello folks I'm trying to use Dovecot deliver LDA instead Postfix virtual LDA The last road block I have to resolve is to define mail_uid, becaus dovecot.err log has these error messages: May 04 14:57:19 deliver(user1(a)some_domain.com): Error: User user1(a)some_domain.com is missing UID (set mail_uid) May 04 14:57:19 deliver(user2(a)some_domain.com): Error: User user2(a)some_domain.com is missing UID (set mail_uid) May 04 14:57:25 deliver(user3(a)some_domain.com): Error: User user3(a)some_domain.com is missing UID (set mail_uid) Where exactly should I define mail_uid? Somewhere in Dovecot dovecot.conf file? I tried to set mail_uid in dovecot-sql.conf in user_query as follows: user_query = SELECT maildir as mail, 51 as userdb_uid, 51 as userdb_gid, 51 as mail_uid FROM dovecot_email_maps WHERE email = '%u' But this apparently doesn't provide that mail_uid as I expected. Could somebody please enlighten me on this issue. Thank you in advance, Alex

[Dovecot] Problem with ACL and rename folder
by DZIOBAK 26 May '10

26 May '10

Hi, I'm using RoundCube and I asked RC team to add ACL support, but there is a problem with renaming ACL protected folders. Users don't have permissions to deleting/renaming some folders. It works well, but every imap talk when renaming folders ends with: OK Rename completed. but the name of folder isn't changed. Here is a log from RC when I tried to rename ACL protected folder: [20-May-2010 10:48:46 +0200]: S: * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN] Dovecot ready.

[Dovecot] mixture of virtual and plain users
by Kapetanakis Giannis 26 May '10

26 May '10

Hi, I have a mail server (postfix/dovecot) running so far with normal local /etc/passwd users for domain example.com. mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir passdb pam { } userdb passwd { } Is it possible to add virtual domains/users to my setup without changing example.com to a virtual domain? I can do the postfix part with http://www.postfix.org/VIRTUAL_README.html#virtual_mailbox but I'm not sure if I can mix dovecot (IMAP and maybe smtp auth) for both local and virtual users. Any hint would be appreciated. best regards, Giannis

I Made some tests in zlib plugin, and in ostream file (ostream-zlib.c) in o_stream_zlib_sendv function, have it: stream->ostream.offset += bytes; In struct mail_save_context, have saved_physical_size and it can be updated, acording with the observation. /* if non-zero, overrides the physical size that should be saved. for example when using zlib plugin, this would contain the mail's uncompressed size. */ uoff_t saved_physical_size; in file zlib-plugin.c in zlib_mail_save_compress_finish function, have it: ctx->saved_physical_size = ctx->output->offset; It's a update to offset (the size of email) in zlib, but if you update this value with a new number, the W flag in email is NOT updated. This is the original file, without update the or increase offset. 1273155226.M512158P16310.brc,S=435,W=390:2,S This is the file updated with 5000b more. 1273155226.M512158P16310.brc,S=5435,W=390:2,S The S is updated, but W not. OK, this not matter in zlib plugin, because the physical size is the email uncompressed, but if you use the zlib as example, and you use this value (saved_physical_size) to update your saved email size, it can't update the W flag, and the email will not be open, because the W size is wrong.

[Dovecot] A few questions on shared folders
by Michael Durket 26 May '10

26 May '10

I'm looking at the possibility of using shared folders to solve a particular problem for my employer and I have a few questions: 1) Can shared folders be in mbox format while allowing the user's mail to be in maildir format? (I think the answer is yes, but wanted to check). 2) What version of dovecot should I be running in order to support shared folders? 3) Is there a good overview document that people could recommend I read that describes how best to set up shared folders under dovecot (and perhaps also gives an overview of shared folder usage in IMAP mail clients in general)? Thanks very much, Michael Durket

[Dovecot] STARTTLS does not seem to work
by Phil Howard 26 May '10

26 May '10

I believe I have the configuration set to use START TLS on IMAP4 (143) and POP3 (110) ports. However, it does not seem to be working. Yet "STARTTLS" is listed as a capability (which tells me I probably do have it configured right). In the session below, 172.30.0.24 is the mail server I'm putting up. 64.26.60.229 is an outside mail service. A similar thing happens on POP3. The always-SSL/TLS ports (993 and 995) are working. There's very little documentation matching "starttls". ======================================================================== altair/phil /home/phil 162> telnet 172.30.0.24 143 Trying 172.30.0.24...

[Dovecot] config file includes
by Tim Traver 26 May '10

26 May '10

Hi all, ok, I couldn't quite find this in any of the documentation, so I figured I would ask here. In preparation to move to version 2.0 to take advantage of the mutiple IP and SSL cert options that are coming, it would be really nice to be able to include other config files in the main config file, so that I don't have to edit the main config in order to add new IP addresses or certs... Does dovecot currently have the ability to include another config file when it is parsing the main config??? If not, is that something that we can put on the wish list? Thanks, Tim.

[Dovecot] Problems with the fs-quota plugin on delivery stage
by Kostik 25 May '10

25 May '10

Hi All! Just noticed a strange behavior of the FS quota plugin on delivery stage. We use group FS quotas via NFS. And quota-tool says: --- Disk quotas for group #5751796 (gid 5751796): Filesystem blocks quota limit grace nfse:/export 1276 10240 10240 --- I run: --- cat ./test.eml | /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -e -n -d xxxx(a)xxxxx.xxxx --- and get: --- Quota exceeded (mailbox for user is full) --- But ./test.eml is 7088147 bytes and it is not above the quota. dovecot debug log is: --- May 12 20:01:46 dovecot: deliver(xxxx(a)xxxxx.xxxx): fs quota block device = nfse:/export May 12 20:01:46 dovecot: deliver(xxxx(a)xxxxx.xxxx): fs quota mount point = /mount/m5 May 12 20:01:47 dovecot: deliver(xxxx(a)xxxxx.xxxx): quota-fs: host=nfse, path=/export, gid=5751796, bytes May 12 20:01:47 dovecot: deliver(xxxx(a)xxxxx.xxxx): quota-fs: gid=5751796, value=8409088, limit=10485760, active=1 May 12 20:01:47 dovecot: deliver(xxxx(a)xxxxx.xxxx): from=<xxxx(a)xxxxx.xxxx>, msgid=<4BEA4744.1040701@xxxx@xxxxx.xxxx>: save failed to INBOX: Quota exceeded (mailbox for user is full) --- It seems that "value=8409088, limit=10485760" shows that the quota is no problem, but "save failed". If I become that user, then no problems. I can copy ./test.eml without problems. Now quota-tool says: --- Filesystem blocks quota limit grace nfse:/export 8212 10240 10240 --- If I try to copy again(over quota), then honestly get: --- cp: closing `./test2.msg': Disk quota exceeded --- If I switch off quota plugin on dovecot.conf (LDA specific settings), then: - 1. The first delivery is without error, but the INBOX is corrupted(last msg is clipped) but quota-tool show only 3300 blocks used (quota is 10240 blocks). - 2. Following delivery big msgs (over quoted) ends with an error: "Not enough disk space" (this is correct, because the quota is really ended) - 3. Following delivery small msgs (above quoted) ends well, msgs are delivered (used 3304 blocks and etc.) Our setup: -- slackware 11.0, x86_32 -- linux 2.6.31.6 -- dovecot 1.2.11 -- mailbox(not maildir) via NFS storage. Please, tell me where to start looking for the problem? =kostik

[Dovecot] (1.2.11): Confused about shared/public folders
by Denny Schierz 25 May '10

hi, i red several hours a lot of documentation (wiki, Blogs, lists ...) how to get public folders. Under cyrus it is very easy. Create a mbox on the top with cyradm and some acls. Nothing more ... All i want is: public/info public/group/internal public/foo public/foo/bla on info, everybody can read on group/internal - only group has full access to internal public/foo/bla - read write for everyone The flags (seen, ...) is stored for all. The wiki entries are to old or mixing several things and are not clear, what I should do, to get it working. my config: dovecot.conf mail_location = maildir:/imap/domain/%1n/%n:INDEX=/imap/indexes/domain/% 1n/%n namespace private { separator = / prefix = inbox = yes } #namespace shared { # separator = / # prefix = shared/%%u/ # location = maildir:/imap/shared/domain/%1n/% n:INDEX=mbox:/imap/shared/domain/%1n/%n # subscriptions = no # list = yes #} namespace public { separator = / prefix = public/ location = maildir:/imap/shared/domain subscriptions = no list = yes } mail_uid = vmail mail_gid = vmail mail_privileged_group = vmail protocol imap { login_executable = /usr/local/dovecot/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/imap-login mail_executable = /usr/local/dovecot/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir = /usr/local/dovecot/dovecot/lib/dovecot/imap/ mail_plugins = quota imap_quota imap_idle_notify_interval = 120 fsync_disable = yes mail_plugins = quota imap_quota acl imap_client_workarounds = outlook-idle netscape-eoh } plugin { acl = vfile acl_shared_dict = file:/imap/rbg/acl/shared-mailboxes.db acl = vfile:/imap/rbg/acl/dovecot-acls } I wasn't able to use under plugins imap_acl, cause of errors: open(/usr/local/dovecot/dovecot/lib/dovecot/imap//lib02_imap_acl_plugin.so) failed: ld.so.1: imap: fatal: relocation error: file /usr/local/dovecot/dovecot/lib/dovecot/imap//lib02_imap_acl_plugin.so: symbol acl_mailbox_right_lookup: referenced symbol not found Couldn't load required plugins Error: imap dump-capability process returned 89 Fatal: Invalid configuration in /usr/local/dovecot/1.2.11/etc/dovecot.conf System is Solaris10, build by my self with Sieve Patches.

[Dovecot] order of variable modifiers
by Phil Howard 25 May '10

25 May '10

I'd like to have a variable substitute take the domain name part, lower case it, MD5 it, and take a 2-character substring of that. Would that be like %2MLd ? The documentation on the H hash modifier described reversing with R, but expresses it at %3RHu which seems to me like it would be reversing the hash result rather than the user string. I'm undecided about MD5 vs. hash, and could go either way. But I was thinking: mail_location = /data/mail/%2MLd/%Ld/%2MLn/%Ln

Hi I'am using dovecot with quota_rule stored in mysql user table, and quota usage stored in mysql dict ###### Quota ############# dict { quotadict = mysql:/usr/local/etc/dovecot-quota.conf } plugin { quota = dict:user::proxy::quotadict quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=10%% quota_rule3 = Sent:ignore #quota_rule = *:storage=10M } ################################### Everything works as expected, but I have some inconveniences for domains with large number of mailboxes. Allocating and maintain quota to every account it's a hard job. I just want to implement some flexibility for this situations (ex the first enforcement to be the user quota and the second to be the domain quota). Is there a way to implement such thing in dovecot and what are the adjustments that I need to do. Regards Alex

[Dovecot] v2.0.beta5 released
by Timo Sirainen 25 May '10

25 May '10

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/beta/dovecot-2.0.beta5.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/beta/dovecot-2.0.beta5.tar.gz.sig Sorry for being so quiet recently. Unfortunately I think it's still going to last a while longer. I'll be in Italy for next two weeks and immediately after that I'll move to Portugal. I'll probably write something about that later to blog. I had hoped that this beta5 would be almost the same as RC1, but I didn't have time to put everything there yet, and thought beta4 is way too old already. The few things that should still be done: - Change expire-tool to be a plugin for doveadm expunge command - doveadm mailbox * commands should use UTF-8 for mailbox names, not mUTF-7 (and add -7, -8 parameters to switch between them) - THREAD command seems to be crashing - some other bugfixes Some of the changes since beta4: - default_login_user is now "dovenull". You should create this user. - imap, pop3 -u <user> now does userdb lookup + changes privileges if necessary, so it's much easier to start imap/pop3 session for a specific user from command line - doveadm has all kinds of new commands and changes - PostgreSQL supports now multiple connections to backend. Also supports load-balancing / HA by specifying multiple host parameters. MySQL and PostgreSQL now share the same code for that. - probably lots of other things I can't think of right now. h

[Dovecot] about acl
by Yavuz Maşlak 25 May '10

25 May '10

I use dovecot, vpopmail. I wish to restrict a mail user's login to its mailbox according to its ip address. I don't wish other users to be affected . Namely, for instance, abc(a)domain.com can login to its mailbox from a few specific ip addresses but the same user will not able to login from anywhere. Meanwhile normally other mail users can login to their mailboxes from all ip addresses. How can I do that with dovecot acl ? any advice.

[Dovecot] suggestion
by Andreas Schulze 25 May '10

25 May '10

hello, dovecot2 implements "!include conf.d/*.conf" to build the configuration from multiple configfiles. So the settings for pop3, imap or lmtp may stay in different files. unfortunately the "protocol = " does not allow a += logic to enables or disable inet listeners. It would be nice to have protocols += imap in conf.d/imap.conf and protocols += managesieve in conf.d/managesieve.conf This would make the include feature more consistent... or is it already possible ? -- Andreas Schulze Internetdienste | P532 DATEV eG 90329 Nürnberg | Telefon +49 911 319-0 | Telefax +49 911 319-3196 E-Mail info @datev.de | Internet www.datev.de Sitz: 90429 Nürnberg, Paumgartnerstr. 6-14 | Registergericht Nürnberg, GenReg Nr.70 Vorstand Prof. Dieter Kempf (Vorsitzender) Dipl.-Kfm.

[Dovecot] Sieve problem. Timo, is this mbox file size limitation hard coded? If so, why?
by Stan Hoeppner 25 May '10

I would not have expected this upon implementing sieve. And I really need to get around this limitation. LDA has no problem writing to these large mbox files. Why does sieve have a problem with them? This is very odd.

[Dovecot] List shared folders
by Marcio Merlone 25 May '10

25 May '10

Good morning! I run an imap-only Ubuntu 8.04 mail server with dovecot 1.2 and pam_ldap, so all my users are posix users. No virtual user or domain, no sql so far. I am setting up shared folders with "namespace shared". I got no errors upon restarting the service, but I get no shared folders listing. As per the wiki http://wiki.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Shared I can use a bdb file or sql connection to keep the listing. But when I use a single bdb file like: plugin { acl_shared_dict = file:/var/lib/dovecot/shared-mailboxes.db } everytime a user logs in, this file get its ownership to the user with 0600 mode. I could use an sql dictionary, but since I dont have any sql params on my configs I am not sure where to store connection params like user, password and host for database. Can anybody help me with that? My goal is to allow my users to shared selected folders with other users, hope to be in the right path. Thanks and regards. -- Marcio Merlone

[Dovecot] Setting up ACL for IMAP
by Andrés Gattinoni 25 May '10

25 May '10

Hi guys, I just suscribed cause I'm trying to do something which I'm not sure how. I need to prevent some accounts from deleting there emails. >From what I've seen [0] this could be achieved by using ACL. My first question is, is this right? Is there a way to achieve the same using POP3? I tried setting up ACL using the info at the Wiki [1], but it's not working. What I've seen is that when I put: protocol imap { mail_plugins = acl imap_acl } I get the following error: May 14 14:54:52 mail dovecot: SIGHUP received - reloading configuration May 14 14:54:52 mail dovecot: imap dump-capability: Couldn't read capability (got 0 bytes) May 14 14:54:52 mail dovecot: Invalid configuration, keeping old one May 14 14:54:52 mail dovecot: child 32301 (unknown) returned error 82 (Internal logging error) Looking on the internet I found out that I don't have the imap_acl lib shared object.

[Dovecot] SSL Bug
by Matthew Sackman 25 May '10

25 May '10

Hi, After many hours of testing, I've finally tracked down the issue I have been having with dovecot's SSL support. The problem is that the SSL certs result in "TLS handshaking: SSL_accept() syscall failed: Connection reset by peer" errors *if the certificate granted is not granted for client use*. For servers, I normally generate SSL certificates specifically for servers: [ server_ca_extensions ] basicConstraints = CA:false keyUsage = keyEncipherment extendedKeyUsage = 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.1 If you just do that, then the SSL certificate doesn't work in dovecot (it will work fine in Apache, or Postfix etc etc). You also need the certificate to be valide for client side work: [ client_and_server_ca_extensions ] basicConstraints = CA:false keyUsage = digitalSignature, keyEncipherment extendedKeyUsage = 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.2, 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.1 I believe this is a fault with Dovecot. This is with the Debian package for Dovecot 1.2.11 (Version: 1:1.2.11-1). The default self-signed certificate the Debian post-install script generates pops out a certificate that is valid for everything, which is why it works by default out of the box. Matthew

Hello Is there a possibility for my users to encrypt their mailboxes through Dovecot ? They haven't direct access to the server, IMAP & IMAPS only. We use Thunderbird as client and mailboxes are in MBOX format Dovecot is running on a FreeBSD 7.2 server. Thanks a lot

[Dovecot] dovecot/deliver ... Can't open log file /var/log/dovecot/error.log: Permission denied
by Phil Howard 24 May '10

24 May '10

I'm getting this ... May 10 12:45:01 eth0 postfix/local[3416]: A788D685F7: to=< xxxxxxxx(a)xxxxxxxx.net>, relay=local, delay=13, delays=13/0/0/0.03, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (temporary failure. Command output: Can't open log file /var/log/dovecot/error.log: Permission denied ) So I'm looking at http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA to see what I can do about it. I would have hoped some comments in the example config file would have mentioned this and suggested a default practice solution. Is this something few people or many people encounter (among those using dovecot/deliver from Postfix)? If I do as the wiki describes and make separate log files for dovecot/deliver to use, do I just make them owned by Postfix? It would seem to me a different directory might be more helpful (absent log files could be created by having the directory permissions. I'm also thinking in terms of log rotations, too ... and I prefer to do log rotations by date stamping rather than pushing sequence numbers (the legacy log rotation). Any chance there are %-style variables I can use in log file/path names to make log files automatically named by the date (and maybe time) ... kind of like in a shell script I would do: `date +/path/to/tree/%Y/%m/%d.log` or such.

[Dovecot] Thunderbird very slow startup, 1.2.11, mbox, postfix local delivery to /var/mail
by Stan Hoeppner 22 May '10

22 May '10

I've Google'd to exhaustion and can't seem to find an answer to my problem. I'm not sure if the problem is TBird 3 or my Dovecot setup. The basic problem is that when I launch TBird and it grabs messages upon startup, it takes forever to supposedly pull them down. Once it's got them they sort relatively quickly into the proper IMAP (dovecot) folders. I don't use sieve yet; I sort with TBird rules. I don't sync messages for offline use. The only thing TB stores locally is the index cache, which I deleted and had TB rebuild once, which didn't help. All that did was waste more time, as I've got 40,000 messages in my IMAP folders which had to be re-indexed by TB. (I save all list mail for future searching). As an example of this problem, I'd not checked my email for just over day, had ~300 messages waiting in /var/mail/stan. TBird starts pulling them from dovecot and says in the status bar "downloading x of ~300". As I watch the count tick up +10 at a whack, the TB process is pegged at 100%, there is zero network activity, and the imap process on the server shows zero cpu use. It took over 60 seconds to "pull" the messages, after which TB sorted them. During the apparent sorting process, there is quite a bit of network activity and the imap process on the server is relatively busy. I say "pull" in quotes because the entire time TB is saying it's pulling more messages there is no network activity. The client and server are plugged into the same 100BaseT FDX switch (FDX verified), and the server has zero load. I know TBird isn't the greatest IMAP client around, but I think taking over 60 seconds just to download ~300 messages is way too damn long given the hardware resources, network, and load on the client and server machines. TB basically seems to be pulling, or dovecot serving, only about 5 messages/sec over 100Mb ethernet, which is abysmal performance given neither the server nor client have any load. The messages are mostly list mail which are at max a few kilobytes each. I'm leaning toward a problem with TBird but I've been unable to find a bug report that covers this, nor a forum post anywhere, etc. The closest I've found for "slow startup" are recommendations to compact folders. I have no local folders to compact. I delete immediately and expunge on exit. Anyone have any ideas? Other than switching to LDA+sieve and have TB check the IMAP folders for new mail? -- Stan

[Dovecot] Dovecot and /dev/shm
by DJ GRP 22 May '10

22 May '10

Hi, I have tried to use /dev/shm for Dovecot's index files: > mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u:INDEX=/dev/shm/%u But it does not seem to like it. May 21 07:13:59 IMAP(user): Error: stat(/dev/shm/user/.imap/INBOX) failed: Permission denied (euid=1234(user) egid=500(group) missing +x perm: /dev/shm) It seems to me that /dev/shm permissions are OK. Any suggestions on how to achieve this?

[Dovecot] Patch for logging variables
by James Devine 20 May '10

20 May '10

Upon thinking, the variable names may not be descriptive enough as `host` is a bit ambiguous and `deleted_count` may refer to a different command than expunge in imap and may be valid to track at some point so I have changed `host` to `client_ip` and `deleted_count` in imap to `expunged_count`, below is the modified diff for version 1.2.11. diff -crB dovecot-1.2.11.orig/src/imap/client.c dovecot-1.2.11/src/imap/client.c *** dovecot-1.2.11.orig/src/imap/client.c 2010-01-24 16:14:17.000000000 -0700 --- dovecot-1.2.11/src/imap/client.c 2010-05-20 09:30:47.170407921 -0600 *************** *** 42,47 **** --- 42,48 ---- client->fd_out = fd_out; client->input = i_stream_create_fd(fd_in, imap_max_line_length, FALSE); client->output = o_stream_create_fd(fd_out, (size_t)-1, FALSE); + client->expunged = 0; o_stream_set_flush_callback(client->output, client_output, client); *************** *** 105,110 **** --- 106,113 ---- static struct var_expand_table static_tab[] = { { 'i', NULL, "input" }, { 'o', NULL, "output" }, + { 'c', NULL, "client_ip" }, + { 'e', NULL, "expunged_count" }, { '\0', NULL, NULL } }; struct var_expand_table *tab; *************** *** 115,120 **** --- 118,125 ---- tab[0].value = dec2str(client->input->v_offset); tab[1].value = dec2str(client->output->offset); + tab[2].value = getenv("IP") ? getenv("IP") : "Unknown"; + tab[3].value = dec2str(client->expunged); str = t_str_new(128); var_expand(str, logout_format, tab); diff -crB dovecot-1.2.11.orig/src/imap/client.h dovecot-1.2.11/src/imap/client.h *** dovecot-1.2.11.orig/src/imap/client.h 2009-06-26 22:49:34.000000000 -0600 --- dovecot-1.2.11/src/imap/client.h 2010-05-19 16:26:31.529833893 -0600 *************** *** 133,138 **** --- 133,139 ---- unsigned int destroyed:1; unsigned int handling_input:1; unsigned int syncing:1; + unsigned int expunged; unsigned int id_logged:1; unsigned int mailbox_examined:1; unsigned int input_skip_line:1; /* skip all the data until we've diff -crB dovecot-1.2.11.orig/src/imap/cmd-close.c dovecot-1.2.11/src/imap/cmd-close.c *** dovecot-1.2.11.orig/src/imap/cmd-close.c 2010-01-24 16:14:17.000000000 -0700 --- dovecot-1.2.11/src/imap/cmd-close.c 2010-05-19 16:26:31.529833893 -0600 *************** *** 18,24 **** client->mailbox = NULL; storage = mailbox_get_storage(mailbox); ! if ((ret = imap_expunge(mailbox, NULL)) < 0) client_send_untagged_storage_error(client, storage); if (mailbox_sync(mailbox, 0, 0, NULL) < 0) client_send_untagged_storage_error(client, storage); --- 18,24 ---- client->mailbox = NULL; storage = mailbox_get_storage(mailbox); ! if ((ret = imap_expunge(client, NULL)) < 0) client_send_untagged_storage_error(client, storage); if (mailbox_sync(mailbox, 0, 0, NULL) < 0) client_send_untagged_storage_error(client, storage); diff -crB dovecot-1.2.11.orig/src/imap/cmd-expunge.c dovecot-1.2.11/src/imap/cmd-expunge.c *** dovecot-1.2.11.orig/src/imap/cmd-expunge.c 2010-01-24 16:14:17.000000000 -0700 --- dovecot-1.2.11/src/imap/cmd-expunge.c 2010-05-19 16:26:31.529833893 -0600 *************** *** 24,30 **** { struct client *client = cmd->client; ! if (imap_expunge(client->mailbox, search_args == NULL ?

[Dovecot] Dovecot LDAP problems
by Adam Pardy 20 May '10

20 May '10

I'm currently trying to configure a linux mailserver running centos to use an xserve running snow leopard. I am configuring the mailserver to run dovecot,sendmail,clamav,spam assassin and squirrelmail so it matches those used by the mac. The problem I am having is that I cannot get the server to authenticate properly to the macs LDAP database. As far as I can tell it is either a problem authenticating passwords or username and passwords. mail.app says its the password it cant authenticate Thunderbird says it could be either. It seems to be a problem in dovecot-ldap.conf, (as I can run ldapsearch from the linux server authenticate correctly and gain user information) What I'd like to know is there a standard set of settings required to authenticate to the LDAP on the mac? I'm currently running the od with no requirements for Kerberos, SSL or anything else it can authenticate with plain passwords (it will be once it is implemented I'm trying to have as few variables as possible at the moment). Copy of dovecot-ldap.conf below; 1. This file is opened as root, so it should be owned by root and mode 0600. # 1. http://wiki.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/LDAP # 1. NOTE: If you're not using authentication binds, you'll need to give 2. dovecot-auth read access to userPassword field in the LDAP server. 3. With OpenLDAP this is done by modifying /etc/ldap/slapd.conf. There should 4. already be something like this: 1. access to attribute=userPassword 2. by dn="<dovecot's dn>" read # add this 3. by anonymous auth 4. by self write 5. by * none 1. Space separated list of LDAP hosts to use. host:port is allowed too. hosts =hostname.com 1. LDAP URIs to use. You can use this instead of hosts list. Note that this 2. setting isn't supported by all LDAP libraries. #uris = 1. Distinguished Name - the username used to login to the LDAP server dn= uid=wmuser,cn=#####,dc=##,dc=###########,dc=### 1. Password for LDAP server dnpass = password 1. Use SASL binding instead of the simple binding. Note that this changes 2. ldap_version automatically to be 3 if it's lower. Also note that SASL binds 3. and auth_bind=yes don't work together. #sasl_bind = no 1. SASL mechanism name to use. #sasl_mech = 1. SASL realm to use. #sasl_realm = 1. SASL authorization ID, ie. the dnpass is for this "master user", but the 2. dn is still the logged in user. Normally you want to keep this empty. #sasl_authz_id = 1. Use TLS to connect to the LDAP server. #tls = no 1. Use authentication binding for verifying password's validity. This works by 2. logging into LDAP server using the username and password given by client. 3. The pass_filter is used to find the DN for the user. Note that the pass_attrs 4. is still used, only the password field is ignored in it. Before doing any 5. search, the binding is switched back to the default DN. auth_bind = yes 1. If authentication binding is used, you can save one LDAP request per login 2. if users' DN can be specified with a common template. The template can use 3. the standard %variables (see user_filter). Note that you can't 4. use any pass_attrs if you use this setting. # 1. If you use this setting, it's a good idea to use a different 2. dovecot-ldap.conf for userdb (it can even be a symlink, just as long as the 3. filename is different in userdb's args). That way one connection is used only 4. for LDAP binds and another connection is used for user lookups. Otherwise 5. the binding is changed to the default DN before each user lookup. # 1. For example: auth_bind_userdn = cn=%u,cn=users,dc=##,dc=###########,dc=### # #auth_bind_userdn = 1. LDAP protocol version to use. Likely 2 or 3. ldap_version = 3 1. LDAP base. %variables can be used here. base = dc=##, dc=###########, dc=### 1. Dereference: never, searching, finding, always #deref = never 1. Search scope: base, onelevel, subtree #scope = subtree 1. User attributes are given in LDAP-name=dovecot-internal-name list. The 2. internal names are: 3. uid - System UID 4. gid - System GID 5. home - Home directory 6. mail - Mail location # 1. There are also other special fields which can be returned, see 2. http://wiki.dovecot.org/UserDatabase/ExtraFields user_attrs = homeDirectory=home,uidNumber=uid,gidNumber=gid 1. Filter for user lookup. Some variables can be used (see 2. http://wiki.dovecot.org/Variables for full list): 3. %u - username 4. %n - user part in user@domain, same as %u if there's no domain 5. %d - domain part in user@domain, empty if user there's no domain user_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%u)) 1. Password checking attributes: 2. user: Virtual user name (user@domain), if you wish to change the 3. user-given username to something else 4. password: Password, may optionally start with {type}, eg. {crypt} 5. There are also other special fields which can be returned, see 6. http://wiki.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase/ExtraFields pass_attrs = uid=user,userPassword=password 1. If you wish to avoid two LDAP lookups (passdb + userdb), you can use 2. userdb prefetch instead of userdb ldap in dovecot.conf. In that case you'll 3. also have to include user_attrs in pass_attrs field prefixed with "userdb_" 4. string. For example: #pass_attrs = uid=user,userPassword=password 1. Filter for password lookups pass_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%u)) 1. Default password scheme. "{scheme}" before password overrides this. 2. List of supported schemes is in: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Authentication default_pass_scheme = PLAIN 1. You can use same UID and GID for all user accounts if you really want to. 2. If the UID/GID is still found from LDAP reply, it overrides these values. #user_global_uid = #user_global_gid =

[Dovecot] LDAP against Novell eDirectory: 'Confidentiality required'
by Jim Moseby 20 May '10

20 May '10

Hi list! I am trying to get dovecot to authenticate users against Novell eDirectory via LDAP. I have successfully gotten open-xchange to authenticate, and I have written a PHP module that authenticates, however I cannot seem to get Dovecot working. If I turn on TLS and restart dovecot, I get: dovecot: 2010-05-20 09:22:05 Error: auth(default): LDAP: ldap_start_tls_s() failed: Connect error dovecot: 2010-05-20 09:22:05 Error: auth(default): LDAP: ldap_start_tls_s() failed: Local error If I turn it off, it starts without error, but returns this when a user tries to authenticate: dovecot: 2010-05-20 08:48:39 Error: auth(default): ldap(jkmoseby,127.0.0.1): ldap_bind() failed: Confidentiality required I have tried all combinations of host:port, and LDAP uri strings I can think of, nothing seems to work. Thanks in advance, config files follow.

[Dovecot] POP3 Problem with SPAM-Mail's over sieve
by Michael Niehren 20 May '10

20 May '10

Hi together, i am currently using dovecot 1.2.10 with the sieve-plugin and use a sieve-filter to sort the SPAM-Mail's directly into a Junk-Folder: require "fileinto"; # rule:[junkfilter] if header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" "YES" { fileinto "Junk"; } My problem is now, if i try to retrieve the Mails via POP3, i did not get the SPAM-Mail's in the Junk-Folder, only the normal ones, that are not filtered over the sieve plugin. Could anyone tell me how to solve that issue ? best regards Michael -- Michael Niehren __ _ powered by / / (_)__ __ ____ __ / /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / /____/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\

[Dovecot] Receive Mail via lmtp/tcp
by Denny Schierz 20 May '10

20 May '10

hi, we have IMAP and SMTP (sendmail(solaris)) on different hosts. Sendmail delivers Mails via LMTP to Cyrus and Cyrus puts the mails into the (hopefully) right box. Now I want to replace the Cyrus host with Dovecot. I've searched a bit in Google but there isn't much about LMTP via TCP in combination with DoveCot. Version 2 seems to be get the feature, but we have round about 5k users, so beta is no choice. Also I red something about maidag (mailutils from Gnu) that could do the Job, but maybe there is a better way. I do not want to install Postfix (or any other SMTP service) on that IMAP Server. So I'm asking is there anybody who has the same construct. Important is, that Quota full etc. messages (RFC) gets back to sendmail, so that the MTA reject the mails, before accepting. cu denny

I don't remember what the last conclusions were :) Anyway I'd probably accept patch to Dovecot, but maybe not yet advertise supporting SPECIAL-USE in capability. > > But the main thing I'm not sure about is where should the flag information be stored? Should it even be per-user option? If yes, should it maybe be combined with autocreate plugin? > Yeah advertise SPECIAL-USE before IANA registred keyword isn't good thing. I don't think this really need per-user option. This is basically "system folders" and MUA will decide on their local names. Combining with autocreate plugin seems reasonable.

[Dovecot] logging
by James Devine 20 May '10

20 May '10

I am looking through the logging options and wondering if there are a couple of things that we can do 1. Logouts don't seem to show the IP address of the logout, we typically see multiple sessions at a time and wondering if there is a way to tie the logouts to an IP 2. POP logouts show the number of messages retrieved/deleted but I don't see a way to do this with IMAP, is there a logout option for this with imap? Thanks

I'm still kinda weak on Python (don't know all the cool tricks, yet), and Pike isn't found universally, so things would need to be in C for me to do it and it to be widely usable. And that's for later when I get some free time.

[Dovecot] looking for IMAP testing tool
by Phil Howard 19 May '10

19 May '10

I'm looking for an IMAP testing tool, suitable to use with Dovecot IMAP. It needs to support TLS, STARTTLS, and login/authentication. It needs to be able run from command line, shell scripts, and even do so under cron jobs (e.g. a way to supply the password to use w/o a terminal prompt). Typical interactive mail clients just don't cut it (even the text mode ones). One reason is I need to do the tests on a number of machines, under a number of user and domain names, and with a variety of parameters or destinations. This is for a suite of regression tests I am putting together intended to verify that configuration changes do not break things (or unbreak things that are supposed to not work). Anyone ever heard of such a tool? Open source would be preferred (better yet, my favorite programming languages: C, Pike, Python).
