[Dovecot] postfix + SMTP AUTH using DOVECOT AUTH DAEMON
by Ing. Alejandro Rodriguez 18 Mar '05

18 Mar '05

hi ppl I'm the new member of the list. Looking at recent messages look like there is a way to do SMTP AUTH in postfix using the Dovecot AUTH daemon. Currently my Dovecot installation auth again PAM (local users) and a simple shadow file (for virtual users, I plan to move to MYSQL later). I don't want to have different databases one for dovecot a one for SASL. Where I can found the POSTFIX patch, or better, some kind of helper daemon for Postfix. thx A

[Dovecot] Namespaces and subscriptions
by Chris Wakelin 17 Mar '05

17 Mar '05

I've got a problem with subscriptions in 1.0-stable when migrating from UW-IMAP. I've modified the SUBSCRIPTION_FILE_NAME entries as suggested in the Wiki http://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration and included the "~/mail/" etc. hidden namespaces. The .mailboxlist files contain entries like "~/mail/somefolder" and the clients have "~/mail/" set as a prefix. In UW-IMAP: xyz LSUB "" "*" * LSUB () "/" ~/mail/somefolder xyz LSUB "~/mail/" "*" * LSUB () "/" ~/mail/somefolder Now with Dovecot: xyz LSUB "" "*" * LSUB () "/" "~/mail/somefolder" xyz LSUB "~/mail/" "*" * LSUB () "/" "~/mail/~/mail/somefolder" In other words, Dovecot is prepending the namespace to the list of folders stored in .mailboxlist. This causes Thunderbird to show the folders as -~ - mail | somefolder which are accessible. Squirrelmail gets completely confused and tries to display "~/mail/~/mail/somefolder" (but works with the prefix set to ""). Am I missing something? I tried Geo's empty namespace patch, just in case that would help, but it didn't.

Greetings again all, <snip> I am a Postfix/Courier-IMAP user and am interested in Dovecot. I have install Dovecot via FBSD ports.

[Dovecot] 1.0-test65
by Timo Sirainen 17 Mar '05

17 Mar '05

http://dovecot.org/test/ If dovecot-auth was crashing with you, this release should fix it. I don't know when it did though, I just applied a patch from Andrey Panin with that description :) Fixed also another dovecot-auth crash with Solaris and maybe some other systems. Contains the first attempt of a Dovecot LDA. It's still in pretty ugly shape, but it should work, more or less. I wouldn't recommend using it in production yet. There are two ways to use it: 1. As a normal user. The username is taken from passwd. 2. Giving -d <username> option. This connects to dovecot-auth and requests the uid, gid, home, etc. from it. dovecot-auth's master socket is expected to be in /var/run/dovecot/auth-master but you can override this with -a parameter. To actually create the auth-master socket you'll need to add this inside auth { .. } : socket listen { master { path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode = 0600 } } Dovecot LDA also currently needs dovecot-lda.conf file. Everything that is read from it is just dumped into environment variables internally. You should be able to set pretty much all the same settings in there as exists in dovecot.conf. The most important exception is that instead of default_mail_env there's just "mail". Example dovecot-lda.conf would be: # note that namespaces aren't supported yet.. mail = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u mbox_read_locks = flock mbox_write_locks = flock # EOF All this goes away once I get the config process implemented. The actual usage goes something like: /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d username < mail_file ie. the mail is read from standard input. Any suggestions if the "deliver" name should be changed and maybe moved to /usr/bin/? Another large change is that I created dynamically growing array implementation with possibility to do compile time type checking. The old code was using buffer_t for arrays, but that got pretty ugly. I changed most of those in lib-index/ to the new array API. I'd be happy if someone changed the rest of them since it's pretty boring and time consuming job :) See lib/array.h for explanation how it works.

[Dovecot] corruption and errors in dovecot-stable
by Nicholas Riley 17 Mar '05

17 Mar '05

Hi, We switched from dovecot 0.99.something to 1.0-stable (on FreeBSD 4.10) a few days ago and have been seeing many errors and one corrupted mailbox so far. Almost everyone uses mbox format, and most users primarily use SquirrelMail; I use Apple Mail and Thunderbird, as well as accessing the mailboxes locally with Mutt, and have not noted any visible problems. There have been several of these messages: dovecot: Feb 21 11:40:06 Error: IMAP(njr): mbox sync: UID inserted in the middle of mailbox /usr/home/njriley/mail/lists/trac (5308 > 1151) dovecot: Feb 21 22:57:13 Error: IMAP(njr): mbox sync: UID inserted in the middle of mailbox /usr/home/njriley/mail/lists/trac (6458 > 1151) dovecot: Feb 22 08:37:03 Error: IMAP(njr): mbox sync: UID inserted in the middle of mailbox /usr/home/njriley/mail/lists/reportlab-users (5162 > 3812) Others: dovecot: Feb 22 11:44:17 Error: IMAP(njr): file mbox-sync-parse.c: line 221 (parse_x_uid): assertion failed: (!ctx->sync_ctx->sync_restart) dovecot: Feb 22 11:44:17 Error: child 19931 (imap) killed with signal 6 dovecot: Feb 25 06:26:09 Error: IMAP(kbode): file istream-raw-mbox.c: line 383 (istream_raw_mbox_get_body_size): assertion failed: (rstream->body_offset != (uoff_t)-1) dovecot: Feb 25 06:26:09 Error: child 83423 (imap) killed with signal 6 (I think this refers to the mailbox that was corrupted) dovecot: Feb 25 12:30:40 Error: IMAP(sachs): Transaction log file /home/sachs/Mail/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.log: invalid indexid (1109356120 != 1108933119) dovecot: Feb 25 12:30:40 Error: IMAP(sachs): Corrupted transaction log file /home/sachs/Mail/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.log: Extension record update update without intro prefix dovecot: Feb 25 12:30:41 Error: IMAP(sachs): Transaction log file /home/sachs/Mail/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.log: marked corrupted dovecot: Feb 25 12:39:34 Error: IMAP(sachs): Transaction log file /home/sachs/Mail/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.log: invalid indexid (1109356120 != 1108933119) dovecot: Feb 25 12:39:34 Error: IMAP(sachs): Lost transaction log file /home/sachs/Mail/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.log seq 2 dovecot: Feb 25 12:39:41 Error: IMAP(sachs): Transaction log file /home/sachs/Mail/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.log: invalid indexid (1108933119 != 1109356120) I am currently reinstalling 0.99.14, but it would be nice to be able to switch to a 1.0-derived version again - we have to run two copies of 0.99.x to get what we want.

[Dovecot] Problems with Outlook 2002 SP3 & Dovecot 0.99.13 Redux
by Md 16 Mar '05

16 Mar '05

Hi, I posted this question a while back and didn't get much response. Since then, I've done a bit more experimenting and wonder if someone can help me move forward towards resolution. The orignal question... > I'm running Dovecot0.99.13 on Fedora Core 3 and things work fine when using either > Thunderbird 1.0 or Outlook Express as IMAP clients. Outlook (2002 SP3) on the other hand > runs incredibly slowly, or just outright hangs. I've discovered that if I delete and recrete .../Maildir in the user account such that the directory exists but is empty, then outlook seems to behave. If on the other-hand, I try to create a folder, with outlook, outlook will hang and the folder won't be created. If I create the folder with another client and then go back to using outlook, outlook will hang. I've taken some network traces and have annotated them here...

[Dovecot] imap-login zombies
by Robin Breathe 16 Mar '05

16 Mar '05

Running dovecot-0.99.13 on Solaris9/Sparc with ~25k users, we are having regularly recurring problems with large numbers imap-login/pop3-login drones, cycling on poll(). Over the course of 1-2 days, the number of such processes slowly rises to >1000, exhausts resources, and necessitates that dovecot be restarted (having killed all current active and zombie child processes). Nothing of interest seems to be logged with the possible exception of a reasonably high number of aborted logins (~10/hour). Can anyone offer any guidance as to how to track down this bug and help get it resolved? Any help would be much appreciated, as we would very much like to see this resolved in the 0.99 branch. Regards, Robin

[Dovecot] dovecot-auth hangs with IO leak
by Alan Tam 16 Mar '05

16 Mar '05

Hi dovecot, I am using the debian dovecot packages on a system running LDAP. My /etc/pam.d/common-* looks like this, which simply means try /etc/passwd first, and try LDAP using the same password if it is failed. account [success=1 default=ignore] pam_unix.so account required pam_ldap.so use_first_pass account required pam_permit.so auth [success=1 default=ignore] pam_unix.so auth required pam_ldap.so use_first_pass auth required pam_permit.so session [success=1 default=ignore] pam_unix.so session required pam_ldap.so use_first_pass session required pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel umask=0002 session required pam_permit.so When many LDAP users login, /var/log/auth.log shows many (expected) error like: (note "pam_unix") Feb 3 18:16:15 eta dovecot-auth: (pam_unix) authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty= ruser= rhost=127.0.0.1 Feb 3 18:16:19 eta dovecot-auth: (pam_unix) check pass; user unknown After recent upgrades from probably 0.99.10 to 0.99.13, these lines begin to appear in /var/log/mail.log: Feb 3 16:31:00 eta dovecot-auth: Login process has too old (123s) requests, killing it. Feb 3 16:31:00 eta dovecot-auth: Login process has too old (124s) requests, killing it. And some more like this, which shows the problem: Feb 3 16:45:23 eta dovecot-auth: I/O leak: 0x8054940 (13) Feb 3 16:45:23 eta dovecot-auth: I/O leak: 0x8054940 (14) Feb 3 16:45:23 eta dovecot-auth: I/O leak: 0x8054940 (15) The problem can be solved by changing /etc/pam.d/dovecot to: auth required pam_ldap.so account required pam_ldap.so session required pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel umask=0002 session required pam_ldap.so This change means PAM not fail auth for /etc/passwd again. I think dovecot has some problem dealing with the pam_unix + pam_ldap configuration. Do you have any idea? I am Cc-ing this message to the corresponding bug in Debian BTS. -- Regards, Alan

[Dovecot] Bit of a Newbie Question
by Jud 16 Mar '05

16 Mar '05

Apologies in advance - I'm sure there's something quite obvious I'm not doing correctly, but since I'm unable to resolve the problem myself.... I've installed Dovecot 99.14 on FreeBSD-CURRENT using the Dovecot FreeBSD port. My "network" consists of a cable modem connected to a router which is in turn connected (only) to my computer. My ISP assigns a dynamic IP address. I have ddclient set up to sync the dynamic IP to my hostname and MX via dyndns.org. Local operations (local delivery via Postfix or copying/moving/deleting with Thunderbird) work fine. Mail delivery from remote machines does not seem to work via either IMAP or IMAP-SSL. (That is, test e-mails I send from this [Fastmail] account to my local IMAP server never reach their destination.) Enabling port forwarding on my router for ports 993 and 143 has made no difference. What should I be doing to make this work correctly? Jud

[Dovecot] Strange behaviour with moving mail
by Remy Zandwijk 15 Mar '05

15 Mar '05

Hi All, Sorry to bother you again. I am not too familiar with IMAP yet, so maybe I am asking stupid questions. Here goes anyway: In our (Dovecot 1.0-stable) setup, we have two namespaces: the default namespace, which location is '/var/mailstore/1%u/%u' and the "Mailstorage" namespace, which location is '~/.Mailstorage/'. Now we create a folder called 'Test' in the default namespace and the "Mailstorage" namespace. As far as I know this is possible and not a strange thing to do. When moving an email from the first 'Test' folder to the other 'Test' folder, it appears that everything works like expected, but when refreshing the mailbox, the message is still in the original folder. This happens with a number of different mailclients (which are configured with an empty namespace setting). I guess Dovecot doesn't look at the namespace in which the mail folder is. Is this a Dovecot bug or is this normal behaviour? Best regards, Remy B.T.W: When moving the mail, this is the IMAP conversation: 00029 UID COPY 4 TEST * 2 EXISTS * 2 RECENT 00029 OK Copy completed. 00030 UID STORE 4 +Flags.silent (\Deleted) 00030 OK Store completed.

[Dovecot] Is it possible to regenerate the index files?
by Joakim Verona 15 Mar '05

15 Mar '05

Is it possible to regenerate the index files, on other conditions than the mbox file being read? For instance, it would be nice if I could regenerate the index for a specific mbox whenever procmail delivers mail to it. If theres no existing solution, would it be possible to make a small script with something like "nc" that could send an imap command to dovecot, so that dovecot would rebuild its index for that mbox? If so, which imap command triggers an index rebuild? -- Joakim Verona www.verona.se

[Dovecot] Visibility of .subscriptions and .customflags
by justin 15 Mar '05

15 Mar '05

Hi, I upgraded to test65 from 0.99 (mostly to get the namespace feature) and now it seems my .subscriptions and .customflags are showing up as mail folders in my IMAP client (Eudora). If I try and open those folders, of course I get an error. How can I configure dovecot so that these aren't displayed to my IMAP client? I looked through about 6 months of acrhives and couldn't find it mentioned anywhere. Thanks.

[Dovecot] logging
by F. Even 15 Mar '05

15 Mar '05

I'm curious about exactly what this means in my log: Mar 13 10:56:20 cerebus dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected [130.94.242.20] Mar 13 10:56:51 cerebus last message repeated 177 times Mar 13 10:57:32 cerebus last message repeated 179 times Now...does Dovecot ONLY log the names of users on successful attempts? Is this "Disconnected" log entry an indication someone ran a username/password attack against the imap server and failed to authenticate? If so, is there any way to make this a little more verbose, so I can perhaps see what names, etc. the annoying idiot is throwing against my server....? Thanks.

[Dovecot] (no subject)
by Gabriel Granger 15 Mar '05

15 Mar '05

Hi All, Bit the bullet last night and switched off UW-IMAP and turned on Dovecot. With any migration I've got some teething problems and hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction. I tested the system using apple's Mail.app which worked fine, no problems at all, but it seems that most of my users are getting problems, i suspect Mail.app is hiding these messages from me. All my users are using ThunderBird 1.0 lastest stable release. Some messages in their IMAP folders are producing the following error. The current command did not succeed. The mail server responded: Error in IMAP command UID: Invalid BODY[_] parameter: Missing '>' in '<16384.-14781>'. it occurs on the same messages in the users email client but happens randomly, it does not stop you from viewing the message, its just pops up with this error. I'm current using IMAP over SSL and using mbox not maildir for IMAP Any ideas or hep would be great as I'd rather not have to roll back out to UW-IMAP Gabe

[Dovecot] corrupted inboxes
by Josh Burley 15 Mar '05

15 Mar '05

Hi all, Two users on our system have recently had trouble reading their inbox, and it seems to be a result of their inbox getting corrupted. In the most recent case, their Mailbox file (in /home/eric/Mailbox in this case), has the following as the first line: cnw.igmg-- Here's a piece of the logs below... if you look for "eric", there's a successfully delivery, followed a bit later by a POP attempt by "eric" that returns that the Mailbox isn't in mbox format. Any ideas? .josh Mar 11 14:59:04 core postfix/local[8203]: 27D18279857E: to=<eric(a)kuci.org>, relay=local, delay=0, status=sent (delivered to mailbox) Mar 11 14:59:04 core postfix/qmgr[7238]: 27D18279857E: removed Mar 11 14:59:06 core postfix/smtpd[8199]: disconnect from user-0c8gg6h.cable.mindspring.com[24.136.64.209] Mar 11 14:59:13 core pop3-login: Login: gtt [::ffff:67.120.76.169] Mar 11 14:59:18 core postfix/smtpd[7575]: connect from webhost2.ethr.net[208.37.25.24] Mar 11 14:59:18 core postfix/smtpd[7575]: setting up TLS connection from webhost2.ethr.net[208.37.25.24] Mar 11 14:59:18 core postfix/smtpd[7575]: TLS connection established from webhost2.ethr.net[208.37.25.24]: TLSv1 with cipher DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA (256/256 bits) Mar 11 14:59:18 core postfix/smtpd[7575]: 242E2279857E: client=webhost2.ethr.net[208.37.25.24] Mar 11 14:59:18 core postfix/cleanup[8201]: 242E2279857E: message-id=<bb165712392a2b4375d6da0efa3c046c(a)www.ethr.net> Mar 11 14:59:18 core postfix/qmgr[7238]: 242E2279857E: from=<nobody(a)webhost2.ethr.net>, size=1527, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Mar 11 14:59:18 core postfix/cleanup[8201]: 6F63A2798580: message-id=<bb165712392a2b4375d6da0efa3c046c(a)www.ethr.net> Mar 11 14:59:18 core postfix/local[8203]: 242E2279857E: to=<r-ethr(a)kuci.org>, relay=local, delay=0, status=sent (forwarded as 6F63A2798580) Mar 11 14:59:18 core postfix/qmgr[7238]: 6F63A2798580: from=<nobody(a)webhost2.ethr.net>, size=1653, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Mar 11 14:59:18 core postfix/smtpd[7575]: disconnect from webhost2.ethr.net[208.37.25.24] Mar 11 14:59:18 core postfix/qmgr[7238]: 242E2279857E: removed Mar 11 14:59:18 core postfix/smtp[8250]: setting up TLS connection to blade.butterzone.net Mar 11 14:59:18 core postfix/smtp[8250]: verify error:num=19:self signed certificate in certificate chain Mar 11 14:59:18 core postfix/smtp[8250]: Peer verification: CommonName in certificate does not match: tloin.butterzone.net != blade.butterzone.net Mar 11 14:59:18 core postfix/smtp[8250]: Peer certficate could not be verified Mar 11 14:59:18 core postfix/smtp[8250]: 6F63A2798580: to=<r(a)butterzone.net>, orig_to=<r-ethr(a)kuci.org>, relay=blade.butterzone.net[208.37.27.136], delay=0, status=sent (250 Ok: queued as 4783AC2C130) Mar 11 14:59:18 core postfix/qmgr[7238]: 6F63A2798580: removed Mar 11 14:59:23 core pop3(eric): File isn't in mbox format: /home/eric/Mailbox Mar 11 14:59:24 core pop3-login: Login: eric [::ffff:128.195.131.49] Mar 11 14:59:24 core pop3(eric): File isn't in mbox format: /home/eric/Mailbox Mar 11 14:59:24 core pop3(eric): File isn't in mbox format: /home/eric/Mailbox Mar 11 14:59:24 core pop3(eric): Couldn't open INBOX: Internal error occured.

[Dovecot] Authentication to Active Directory
by Chris Wakelin 15 Mar '05

15 Mar '05

Has anybody managed to have Dovecot authenticate to Microsoft Active Directory? I've tried to get it to work using LDAP and the following settings dovecot.conf: userdb = ldap /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf passdb = ldap /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf dovecot-ldap.conf: hosts = rdg-home.ad.rdg.ac.uk dn = cn=bind-user,cn=users,dc=rdg-home,dc=ad,dc=rdg,dc=ac,dc=uk dnpass = XXXXX ldap_version = 2 base = dc=rdg-home,dc=ad,dc=rdg,dc=ac,dc=uk user_filter = (sAMAccountName=%u) pass_filter = (sAMAccountName=%u) I've also tried things like "(&(objectClass=sAMACcountName)(cn=%u))" to no avail. It appears to bind properly, but never finds the account, so login fails. I've had Active Directory authentication working with Squid and with Cyrus SASL/IMAP.

[Dovecot] Drac and Dovecot, almost there ...
by Jon Shoberg 15 Mar '05

15 Mar '05

I have dracd and dovecot up and running and trying to get the two connected. I'm using the FC3 rpms from callimg yum install. I've downloaded the drac patch from http://dovecot.org/patches/drac.c and compiled it with both gcc -Wall -W -shared -fPIC -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I$dovecot -I$dovecot/src/lib drac.c -o drac.so -ldrac and gcc -Wall -W -shared -fPIC -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I$dovecot -I$dovecot/src/lib drac.c -o drac.so I get no warnings or errors on the compiling to drac.so. In the conf file I have imap_use_modules = yes imap_modules = /usr/lib/dovecot/imap However, I don't see the module being called. Is there a way to tell. The dracd database (/etc/mail/dracd.db) is not being updated via testing with the drac utilities. Thoughts? Ideas? Below is output from a strace ...

[Dovecot] Dovecot 64-bit and Pine error
by Remy Zandwijk 15 Mar '05

15 Mar '05

Hi all, I compiled a 64-bit Dovecot stable (13-03-2005) version on a Solaris 9 box with gcc 3.4.2. OpenSSL and libiconv are compiled 64-bit also. The configure I use: export CPPFLAGS="-m64 -I/var/tmp/openssl/include" export LDFLAGS="-m64 -L/var/tmp/openssl/lib" ./configure \ --prefix=/opt/dovecot \ --sysconfdir=/etc/opt/dovecot \ --disable-shared \ --with-libiconv-prefix=/var/tmp/iconv \ --without-passwd-file \ --without-shadow \ --without-vpopmail \ --without-static-userdb \ --with-ssl=openssl \ --with-ssldir=/etc/opt/dovecot/cert \ --without-pop3d Dovecot is running fine, all email clients are running fine, except for Pine (4.62). When saving a mail to another IMAP mailbox, Pine report an error message and the logfile shows: Mar 14 16:33:28 tbox dovecot: [ID 107833 local1.error] IMAP(tstud1): utime(/var/tmp/var_mailstore/ t/tstud1/.Drafts/tmp/1110814408.P2681Q0M979308.tbox) failed: Value too large for defined data type Compiling Dovecot in 32-bit, saving mail within Pine is doing just fine. I guess this is caused by maildir-save.c, line 219. Is this a bug in Solaris or Dovecot? -Remy

[Dovecot] dovecot 0.99 + apple mail.app
by sean finney 15 Mar '05

15 Mar '05

hello all, first off, a success story. after much testing and preperation, we've switched from uw-imap to dovecot. i am not kidding when i say that we have experienced an order of magnitude decrease in server load (previously load peaks were 40-60, now they are 3-4). so, suffice to say that the mail admins here are very happy :) one problem that has come up though is particular to apple's mail.app. when a client recieves a new message, they aren't notified that it's arrived, and often even when pressing "check for new mail" they don't see it come in. however, if they move from one mailbox to another, and then back, it shows up. it also shows up if thtey completely quit out of the program and start it back up. i'm going to try and get a packet dump of this to see if i can find out what's happening in the conversation, but figured in the meantime i'd put my feelers out to see if anyone else is having this problem. thanks, sean
