[Dovecot] dovecot 1.0alpha3 passdb
by Karl Chen 08 Oct '05

08 Oct '05

I upgraded dovecot from 0.99.20050712-2 to 1.0.alpha3-1 (Debian testing). In /etc/dovecot.conf I had: passdb = passwd-file /etc/imap.passwd I modified dovecot.conf from 1.0alpha3 to have: passdb passwd-file { # Path for passwd-file args = /etc/imap.passwd } Is that correct? Authentication no longer works, and /var/log/mail.info shows: Oct 7 22:35:39 XXX dovecot: auth(default): passdb(XXX,XXX): passdb didn't return userdb entries Oct 7 22:35:39 XXX dovecot: auth(default): userdb(XXX,XXX): user not found from userdb Oct 7 22:35:39 XXX dovecot: imap-login: Internal login failure: user=<XXX>, method=PLAIN, rip=XXX, lip=XXX, TLS Help, please. -- Karl 2005-10-07 22:39

[Dovecot] Dovecot Setup as just a local IMAP server.
by David Terei 06 Oct '05

06 Oct '05

Hey All, Id just like to start by thanking Timo Sirainen and any others that helped produce such a great IMAP server, it was a breeze to set up with no previous experience in mail servers. What I am trying to do is setup a spare computer to run Dovecot and that It stores all my email from my accounts which are all accessed through POP. This way instead of being tied to one mail client (and hence OS and Computer) I just set up my mail client to access Dovecot and then I'm done. So I am trying to set up an IMAP server to store my emails instead of just storing them on my local hard disk really. Now so far Ive set up Dovecot and Its working fine, but How would I get my email accounts mail to be placed in the Inbox of my IMAP account? I'm think I would need to use either fetchmail or getmail to grab my mail. After that do these programs just save it in the appropriate IMAP folder on disk (which would be new?) or do I need a MTA such as qmail setup and fetchmail or getmail passes the email to the MTA which just transfers it locally on the same computer? So any help would be greatly appreciated as well as advice on which software to use, the getmail site attacks fetchmail quite strongly, but I'm not sure of its performance being written in Python as I'm running on an old Pentium MMX(100MHz) using OpenBSD 3.7. Sorry for the long email I never can seem to keep them short :) Cheers, David Terei

[Dovecot] extra characters after mailbox names
by Paul 06 Oct '05

06 Oct '05

After installing alpha3, when I view a list of my IMAP mailboxes in Pine 4.64 on Linux, several of the mailbox names are followed by odd characters: ., ~, and _. So the list of mailboxes looks like: INBOX saved_ sent-mail~ Biz Service. Home_ and so forth. The distribution of the characters remains the same throughout the Pine session, but is different every time I restart Pine. It doesn't happen in Pine 4.63 or any other client, but I associate it with Dovecot rather than Pine because it started exactly when I upgraded Dovecot today, rather than five days ago when I upgraded Pine.

[Dovecot] I need to enable percent hack in dovecot logins
by Eero Volotinen 05 Oct '05

05 Oct '05

I am using dovecot with vpopmail and qmail and problems is percent hack that works with qmail-pop3d does not work with dovecot. So login works like that: firstname.lastname%domain.ext I need that function to work with dovecot too, and I am using stable 0.99.x series of dovecot. Problem is that some Apple machines client can't use at-symbol in their login names. So, where I need to hack sources to convert % -> @ to get login working. By default percent-hack does not work with dovecot. Any help? Thanks. -- Eero

[Dovecot] Changing pop3_uidl_format
by Jeff Simmons 05 Oct '05

05 Oct '05

I recently set up an OpenBSD - Dovecot mail server for a client. Naturally (according to Murphy's Law) they want to use Outlook 2003, pop3s, and leave messages on the server. And just as naturally, the UIDLs don't seem to be working, and when they download mail, they get EVERY email stored on the server, not just the new ones. Other than switching them over to IMAP, I found the following in the Wiki documentation: #POP3 UIDL format to use. You can use following variables: # %v - Mailbox UIDVALIDITY # %u - Mail UID # %m - MD5 sum of the mailbox headers in hex (mbox only) # %f - filename (maildir only) #If you want UIDL compatibility with other POP3 servers, use: # UW's ipop3d : %08Xv%08Xu # Courier version 0 : %f # Courier version 1 : %u # Courier version 2 : %v-%u # Cyrus (<= 2.1.3) : %u # Cyrus (>= 2.1.4) : %v.%u #Note that Outlook 2003 seems to have problems with %v.%u format which is #Dovecot's default, so if you're building a new server it would be a good #idea to change this. %08Xu%08Xv should be pretty fail-safe. pop3_uidl_format = %v.%u So my question is, what happens if I just change pop3_uidl_format to %08Xu%08Xv and restart the server? Will it just change things over to the way I want them, or will it blow up all the existing mail already being stored there? Inquiring minds want to know. Thanks for any help you can provide. -- Jeff Simmons jsimmons(a)goblin.punk.net Simmons Consulting - Network Engineering, Administration, Security "It was on fire when I got here."

[Dovecot] using local-part delimiters in LDA delivery?
by OpenMacNews 03 Oct '05

03 Oct '05

hi all, i've exim 4.53RC2 + dovecot-cvs on OSX 10.4.2. i'm working on implementing recipient-delimiters for delivery from exim to a user's imap store using dovecot's cvs-lda. reading on the wiki (Jakob's latest comments?): " ... the part after the delimiter is passed to the lda as an additional parameter. so dovecot-lda should handle that parameter and leave the separator handling to the MTA. The MTA has to handle it anyway." it looks likes it's possible ... with appropriate changes in exim to my router: dovecot_localuser: driver = accept domains = +local_domains local_part_suffix = +* local_part_suffix_optional transport = dovecot_lda and transport: dovecot_lda: driver = pipe command = /.../deliver \ -c /.../dovecot-deliver.conf \ -d $local_part@$domain message_prefix = "" message_suffix = "" delivery_date_add envelope_to_add return_path_add log_output user = MY_MAIL_USER i'd like to be able to build delivery conditions in dovecot so that, e.g. mail to: bob(a)mydomain.com is delivered to "bob"'s default INBOX. but, mail to: bob+spam(a)mydomain.com is delivered to any specified (either a server-wide common relative path, or a user-specified) SUBFOLDER, say "bob/INBOX/.../.../spam_to_look_at" defined by a dovecot-rule invoked by the delimiter "spam" ... this is a little different than the approach Mark mentioned of delivering directly to folder_name specified by the local-part-after-delimiter ... questions: (1) until the two conf files merge, i'm guessing there needs to be some conditional logic in dovecot-deliver.conf rather than in dovecot.conf. correct? or should i be thinking SIEVE rules? (2) exactly WHAT "additional part" do i grab in dovecot? thx! richard

[Dovecot] Using procmail with virtual users...
by Arnaud Guiton 01 Oct '05

01 Oct '05

Hello all, I've a working dovecot installation on my machine, using exim3, virtual users and maildirs. I would like to add procmailrc rules for these (virtual) users, but i've not succeeded with that. The authentication is done with a passwd-file looking like this : testuser:password:uid:gid::/home/mail/testuser::chroot:maildir:/home/mail/testuser/Maildir/ i've put .procmailrc files in /home/mail/testuser/.procmailrc, but it this not taken into account, because the MTA never calls the procmail router as it resides after the dovecot one. How is the proper way of using procmail with virtual user (and is it at least possible) ? Thanks, -- Arnaud

[Dovecot] Red Hat ES 4 - dovecot-auth: Unknown password scheme SMD5
by mel llaguno 01 Oct '05

01 Oct '05

I have a couple of questions regarding the default dovecot packaged with RedHat ES 4. The dovecot version is 0.99.11-2.EL4.1 which I assume is considerably behind the current stable version of 0.99.14. Is it the fact that I am using an older version of dovecot that SSHA passwords in an openldap directory are not recognized and give the following error: dovecot-auth: Unknown password scheme SMD5 ? LDAP is working as expected for NFS maildirs. I have dovecot 0.99.13 working on fedora core 3, but the stability of fedora leaves much to be desired and would like to get a stable, low maintenance install of dovecot on an enterprise supported linux. Redhat does not have packages for 0.99.14 and I would rather compile from source if possible. I've specified --with-ldap as part of the configure script, but am wondering if there is anything more to add to support SSHA passwords. Until dovecot 1.0 is proven in the field, it is not a consideration for the production environment this server is being used for. Any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated. TIA, Mel Llaguno

[Dovecot] Can't connect to auth server at default: Connection refused
by Chris Wakelin 30 Sep '05

30 Sep '05

We've being running with Dovecot 1.0-stable since Tuesday, and on the whole it's gone very well (meaning nobody's noticed!). My best estimate is we're using half the disk accesses and 2/3 the CPU of UW-IMAP/Qpopper. We've quite a mixture of error messages in the logs, the most worrying of which is that several times we've had a few seconds of "xxx-login: Can't connect to auth server at default: Connection refused" (where xxx is pop or imap). It seems to sort itself out shortly afterwards. We're using userdb=passwd, passdb=passwd (authenticating via NIS). From Tuesday we'll be using passdb=pam (pam_ldap to Active Directory). My first guess is that some dovecot-auth process stops responding and gets killed off. Is this right? Other errors we're seeing include 1) pread_full() failed with mbox file /export/mail/c/37/sau04djp/INBOX: No such file or directory (when there is!) 2) mbox sync: UID inserted in the middle of mailbox (especially with .prayer folders - configuration folders for our Webmail) 3) file mbox-lock.c: line 505 (mbox_lock): assertion failed: (lock_type == F_RDLCK || ibox->mbox_lock_type != F_RDLCK) presumably some of these are fixed in alpha2.

[Dovecot] redirect and sieve BUG
by List Subscriptions [Obfusc8.Org] 30 Sep '05

30 Sep '05

I've only just subscribed to the list, but in reading through the back-issues have come across a bug with dovecot-lda that was reported previously, and I can reproduce. Using dovecot-lda CVS with Revision 1.21 of deliver.c (as newer versions won't compile against 1.0-alpha3), with dovecot 1.0-alpha3 and postfix 2.1.5 Rredirects mangle some headers - the 'To:' header ends up as: To: undisclosed-recipients: ; And there is no subject header. Running sendmail from the cmdline with: sendmail -i -f '<>' -- destination at address.com <msgtext> as suggested to test by *Timo Sirainen *results in a correctly formatted message. The mail_send_forward function in mail-send.c looks sane from what I can see, but then I'm not a C coder... Any clues guys? Cheers, Pete

[Dovecot] Maildir and counting inodes
by Andy Cravens 30 Sep '05

30 Sep '05

I've been testing with alpha 3 and I am about ready to go production. I am switching from mbox to maildir and I'd like to know if there is a formula or rule of thumb for determining if your file system will have enough inodes to handle all the mail message files. I could write a script to look at each user's mbox files, count the number messages and calculate the average number of emails per user, then add a fudge factor for expected growth. However, I doubt anybody actually goes to this much trouble to plan ahead. Or do they? I'm running Solaris 9 and when I created the file system I just used the defaults. If I need to change anything, I'd rather do it before going production. Thanks for any info you can provide on this subject.
