[Dovecot] sendmail to postfix-dovecot
by Roger Berger 28 Nov '13

28 Nov '13

Hi, I am a newbie to postfix and dovecot so I hope you can help me. I have an old server running sendmail for many years now. On this server I have about 100 domains and 500 users. The users are named as myuser or myuser.dom. People use pop3 and imap for fetching reading their email. I've setup a new server with postfix and dovecot2 on freebsd and managed to get it all working with virtual users. However, now I found out that I overlooked something; People have to login with username(a)domain.tld<mailto:username@domain.tld> on the new server but only use their username on the old server. This means they all have to change their login credentials, which is not an option. Is it possible to do some scripting before authentication where the username is looked up in the database and the right domain is added to the account? If I understand right it is not possible to use system and virtual users together. Thanks, Roger

[Dovecot] Enabling quota
by Andreas Kasenides 27 Nov '13

27 Nov '13

Hello everybody. Sorry if this has been answered before, I just could not find any info. Just point me if that is so. Can somebody please explain why there is no option --with-quota (ot may be --with-fs-quota) for the configure command? As it stands now, at least for the fs back-end the only thing that tells us that Dovecot does not do quotas is after the build/configuration we get dovecot: imap(xxdxx): Error: quotactl(Q_GETQUOTA, csfs9.cs.ucy.ac.cy:/mail) failed: No such file or directory which essentially means that during the build no quota development libraries were found and therefore fs quota will not function. This is rather confusing and the above error does not help much. Note also that "dovecot --build-options" is also silent on this. I suppose other back-ends do not have this requirement since there is no need for such devel libraries. thankx Andreas

[Dovecot] Dsync on a medium sized site
by Skeffling 27 Nov '13

27 Nov '13

Hello, We're looking at changing our current Dovecot setup to use dsync between 2 servers in different data centres to share the load and to provide resilience. We're quite excited about the possibilities! We receive about 100,000 emails a day, to about 10,000 mailboxes - a mix of IMAP and POP3. We'll use Dovecot Deliver via exim to put mail in to the Maildir. Has dsync been used on sites of this size? -Any tips? Do people tend to sync between 2 servers, or do some people use more than 2? I'm interested in other people's experience before setting up some test boxes. Thanks! Andrew.

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.1 Panic
by Alexandr Sabitov 27 Nov '13

27 Nov '13

Hi, Dovecot 2.1.12 sends panic message when it tries to authenticate some users. Apparently because they use different authentication mechanisms on different email clients at the same time. For example, in debug logs this user uses CRAM-MD5, NTLM and PLAIN in account settings of his email clients. All passwords are stored in plain text (base64) in LDAP. Please advise me what I can tweak to fix this issue ?

[Dovecot] Dovecot software testing and release practice

Since this, it seems, was lost in, the now infamous, 2.2.9 thread I would like to resubmit the following proposal for Timo's consideration. Thanks Timo for doing an excellent job.

I also propose that upon employing above strategy that Timo should come up with a release cycles (long term, short term) with announced targets. Patches should be released as patches strictly as needed, not releases, and should be announced on a low traffic list like he is already doing with releases. OR something along these lines. I know these are growing pains but essential. Email systems are CRITICAL for most of us. Andreas

[Dovecot] Problem with Thunderbird and mailbox with SPECIAL-USE flag
by Sylvain 26 Nov '13

26 Nov '13

Hi ! I have an old Courier IMAP and in front of it, I have put a proxy cache with the great Dovecot. SOGo webmail is connected to the proxy and works great (very very more fast) but I have a problem with Thunderbird : mailbox with « SPECIAL USE » aren't automatically detected. To make that works, I must : - in Dovecot : define the namespace inbox : « prefix = » and « separator = . » - in Thunderbird : force in the account, the personal namespace to "INBOX." and untick « Allow server to exceed namespace » (sorry : personal translation :D). If I define in the namespace inbox as the dovecot wiki said : « prefix = INBOX. » and « separator = . », TB see a sub-folder INBOX and mailbox with special use aren't automatically detected. :-( I must have forgotten a parameter in my Dovecot configuration but I don't see it.. Can you have a look please ? Here my configuration : # 2.1.7: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 x86_64 Debian 7.2 auth_debug_passwords = yes auth_mechanisms = plain login disable_plaintext_auth = no first_valid_uid = 100 imapc_host = xxxxxx mail_gid = imapproxy mail_home = /var/local/cache/dovecot/%1Mu/%1.1Mu/%u mail_location = imapc:~/imapc mail_uid = imapproxy namespace inbox { inbox = yes list = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = separator = . type = private } passdb { args = host=xxxxxx port=143 default_fields = userdb_imapc_user=%u userdb_imapc_password=%w driver = imap } protocols = imap ssl_cert = </etc/dovecot/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = prefetch } Sylvain

[Dovecot] 2.2.9
by Nick Edwards 26 Nov '13

26 Nov '13

Timo (since he is the only one that maters here), In past couple of days I have seen 4 people on IRC bitten by 2.2.8 and pigeonhole bug, none of them are on this list, so like all others who want to download and build them, are unaware of the patch, so, given how wide the userbase is with pigeonhole sieve and dovecot, this would or should be considered a serious bug, so my question is Timo, is it not best to immediately push 2.2.9, or should even more server administrators become frustrated and curse waiting two more months until you have a list you think is best putting out a new release, many of them dont like the constant new releases all the time with only minor things, but with a build failure, thats a serious issue.

Unfortunately on this list, the names stand out for a completely different reason - and its not positive. Just chill, everyone. You never know who's going to interview you in a year. Rick

[Dovecot] postfix and dovecot - no emails in new folder
by Don Hill 26 Nov '13

26 Nov '13

Hi. I am working on setting up Dovecot v2.0.9 and postfix 2.6.6 on centos 6.4. I have postfix configured with dovecot using virtual users. Everything seems to be working with the exception of no emails being delivered to the Maildir/new folder. If I touch a file into that folder then the file gets delivered to the email client using imap. I can also send email from the client with no problems. In fact if I look at the logs postfix says the email was delivered to the mailbox. postfix/virtual[27270]: 8652F35C38A8: to=<user(a)domain.tld>, relay=virtual, delay=0.11, delays=0.1/0.01/0/0, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered to mailbox)$ Here is my dovecot -n output *doveconf: Warning: NOTE: You can get a new clean config file with: doveconf -n > dovecot-new.conf** **doveconf: Warning: Obsolete setting in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf:85: protocol { ssl_listen } has been replaced by service { inet_listener { address } }** **# OS: Linux 2.6.32-042stab079.6 x86_64 CentOS release 6.4 (Final) reiserfs** **auth_mechanisms = plain login** **default_login_user = vmail** **first_valid_gid = 5000** **first_valid_uid = 5000** **listen = *** **mail_access_groups = vmail** **mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%u/Maildir** **mbox_write_locks = fcntl** **passdb {** ** args = scheme=SHA1 /etc/dovecot/passwd** ** driver = passwd-file** **}** **protocols = imap pop3** **service auth {** ** unix_listener auth-client {** ** group = postfix** ** mode = 0660** ** user = postfix** ** }** ** user = root** **}** **service imap-login {** ** inet_listener imaps {** ** address = *** ** }** ** process_min_avail = 1** ** user = vmail** **}** **service pop3-login {** ** inet_listener pop3s {** ** address = *** ** }** **}** **ssl_cert = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem** **ssl_key = </etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem** **userdb {** ** args = uid=5000 gid=5000 home=/var/vmail/%d/%u allow_all_users=yes** ** driver = static** **}* Any thoughts?

[Dovecot] Zlib plugin - when does it make sense?
by Frerich Raabe 25 Nov '13

25 Nov '13

Hi, I run a small IMAP server for a dozen guys in the office, serving about 55GB of Maildir. I recently became aware of the Zlib plugin ( http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Zlib ) and wondered 1. given that there is about zero CPU load on my IMAP server, is enabling the plugin a no-brainer or are there other things (except CPU load) to consider? 2. For enabling the plugin, I suppose you compress all the existing mail just once and then add 'zlib' to mail_plugins in order to have all future incoming mail saved? Any insight by people familiar with the plugin would be much appreciated - thanks! -- Frerich Raabe - raabe(a)froglogic.com www.froglogic.com - Multi-Platform GUI Testing

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.2.7/2.2.8 failing to call dspam with antispam
by Guillaume Hilt 25 Nov '13

25 Nov '13

Hello again, I'm running Gentoo AMD64 2013 with postfix, mysql, dovecot and dspam : dovecot 2.2.8 (it was working fine with 2.2.6 after doing a chmod 4511 on dspam binary), dspam 3.10.2-r1 and dovecot-antispam-2.0_pre20130429 (recompiled after each dovecot upgrade). I've set dspam to debug, and mail_debug to yes. uid 1001 is user vmail (dovecot is running under vmail) gid 12 is group mail (vmail is a member, with mail,postfix,dspam,dovecot,apache) All the necessary users are trusted in dspam configuration.

[Dovecot] Checkpassword interface for custom password check and home mounting
by Jouko Nikula 25 Nov '13

25 Nov '13

Hi, I'm trying to use the checkpassword interface to do a password check and if the check succeeds I mount the user home directory (including mail) using the users login password and uid. My password check seems to work, but when I add the home directory mounting things seem to stop. Dovecot never logs the result of the password check and nothing happens until the client gets bored and tries again. I added trace to the dovecot's checkpassword-reply and I see that it's really executed, it writes the reply and returns 0 for successful authentication. My dovecot version is 2.1.7. My checkpassword is a setuid binary and the mount is a self made fuse-fs. Any ideas what happens? Are there better ways to do this? Thanks, - Jouko

Hi, I'm trying to use the checkpassword interface to do a password check and if the check succeeds I mount the user home directory (including mail) using the users login password and uid.

[Dovecot] quota warning by script fails
by Jimmy Koerting 24 Nov '13

24 Nov '13

Hello! I looked around all online resources I found, but I'm not able to find my failure. So any help would be welcome! The problem arises with an dovecot 2.2.6 on a 9.2 FreeBSD RELEASE in a jailed environment. I have the following config settings regarding quota (which works in general, but just without calling the script): /etc/dovecot/conf.d/90-quota.conf: ... plugin { quota_warning = storage=95%% quota-warning 95 %u quota_warning2 = storage=80%% quota-warning 80 %u } service quota-warning { executable = script /usr/sbin/quota-warning.sh unix_listener quota-warning { mode = 0666 } } ... script:

[Dovecot] dovecot patch: do scanf correctly

As far as I can tell, there are two places in which dovecot does not use scanf properly. This patch should fix that. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- diff -r 8a3d0426f514 src/lib-dns/dns-lookup.c --- a/src/lib-dns/dns-lookup.c Sat Nov 23 23:22:09 2013 +0000 +++ b/src/lib-dns/dns-lookup.c Sun Nov 24 06:30:12 2013 +0100 @@ -102,7 +102,7 @@ } /* first line: <ret> <ip count> */ if (sscanf(line, "%d %u", &result->ret, - &result->ips_count) == 0) + &result->ips_count) != 2) return -1; if (result->ret != 0) { result->error = net_gethosterror(result->ret); diff -r 8a3d0426f514 src/lib-settings/settings.c --- a/src/lib-settings/settings.c Sat Nov 23 23:22:09 2013 +0000 +++ b/src/lib-settings/settings.c Sun Nov 24 06:30:12 2013 +0100 @@ -44,7 +44,7 @@ { int num; - if (!sscanf(value, "%i", &num) || num < 0) + if (sscanf(value, "%i", &num) != 1 || num < 0) return t_strconcat("Invalid number: ", value, NULL); *result = num; return NULL; -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Specifically, both invocations disregard that sscanf("", "%d", &num) and similar make sscanf return EOF (-1 on my system) and the first invocation also does not account for the case that the second argument is not matched.
