I'm trying to setup a samba4 with openchange which uses postfix+dovecot+openldap on a ubuntu 12.04.2 system. I can send outgoing emails but incoming emails fail. I looked up the logs and I get: Mar 5 11:03:48 testerA dovecot: lda(sammy): Error: user sammy: Initialization failed: mail_location not set and autodetection failed: Mail storage autodetection failed with home=/var/mail Mar 5 11:03:48 testerA dovecot: lda(sammy): Fatal: Invalid user settings. Refer to server log for more information. any idea what I am doing wrong? Any hints, pointers would be much appreciated. now the user is a virtual user.

However, I am aware that there are those who > disagree with that philosophy. Thanks Ian and Jerry, It's doubtful that the OCLUG's defaulting replies to "list" (characterized by some as "munging") is the root cause here, because probably 90% of the mailing lists I'm on default replies to the list, and this symptom happens only with OCLUG's list. Whatever it is, it doesn't happen when I use Thunderbird instead of Claws. Of course it also doesn't happen on Claws on all the rest of the mailing lists I participate in. The fact that replying from Thunderbird eliminates the symptom, even if I later look at my IMAP using Claws, says to me that the root cause isn't in my Dovecot IMAP server. Paul from the Claws list pointed out that OCLUG emails' List-Post (oclug(a)mailman.oclug.org) and Reply-To (oclug(a)penguin.oclug.org) don't match. So far, that's the only thing about OCLUG I've found that's remotely different from everyone else. I have no idea whether this mismatch was intended, or whether it came about through an accident of history. I also don't know how hard it would be to get them to match. Steffen from the Claws list asked whether I configured Claws-Mail to add List-Post to the recipient list, and whether I've configured any reply action, that adds another recipient to the message. The answer to the second question is "no", my OCLUG folder has no properties or processing, my .procmailrc has no filters that change mail from OCLUG. As far as Steffen's second question, I don't know where in Claws' config options this would be configured, but the following command indicates to me that it's unlikely: slitt@mydesk:~/.claws-mail$ grep -irl "list-post" * | grep -v imapcache tmp/tmpfile.00000055 slitt@mydesk:~/.claws-mail$ Another point of information is that this symptom occurs whether I "reply to list" or just "reply". Since I'm happy with both Claws-Mail and OCLUG, I'll "solve" the problem by trying to remember to delete the CC automatically inserted by each Claws reply to OCLUG mail. I might also look into installing OCLUG folder specific processing or properties, or maybe even setting a procmail filter to change the headers on mail from OCLUG. It would basically be a short filter invoking an awk command. However it gets solved, I'll let you all know about it.

[Dovecot] dovecot: imap-login: Maximum number of connections from user+IP exceeded (mail_max_userip_connections)
by David Brown 04 Mar '13

04 Mar '13

Hi, has anyone seen this issue before as I have not. I'm a long time dovecot user and I don't see anything in the config that should cause this. The mail.log gets hit a lot of times with this same log message: dovecot: imap-login: Maximum number of connections from user+IP exceeded (mail_max_userip_connections) I have noted that it is more evident when I try to mass delete many messages. Any ideas of how to diagnose this issue?

[Dovecot] dovecot proxying with imapc
by suja 04 Mar '13

04 Mar '13

Dear sir, I have to set up a mail gateway which will be explored to Internet and a secure mail server in the Intranet. I need a smart imap proxy in the mail gateway which will fetch the mail from server and present to user through either a stand alone mail client or a web mail client. All authentication is through ldap server. I followed the instructions given in http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/ImapcProxy But while logging in I am getting a error: dovecot: imap(user1): Error: user user1:Initialization failed: Initializing mail storage from mail_location setting failed: Unknown mail storage driver imapc dovecot: imap(user1): Error: Invalid user settings. Refer to server log for more information. I couldn't figure out what is wrong. Please help me to sort it out.

[Dovecot] No NTLM with PAM after upgrade
by Phil Quesinberry 01 Mar '13

01 Mar '13

After updating From Dovecot 1.07 (included with CentOS 5) to 2.11, NTLM authentication will not work. Attempts to authenticate against Samba version 4.0.4-GIT-20cb7de also fail with 'auth: Info: winbind(?,192.168.2.100): user not authenticated: NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL', despite the fact that the same user can sign on to the Samba domain and access files. What I'm really trying to understand here though is why version 1.07 would do NTLM with PAM just fine, but later versions I've tried will not. After failing to get later versions to work, I decided to see if I could at least get them to do NTLM by authenticating against a Samba domain but that won't work either. 1.07 did NTLM just fine authenticating against a system user account with PAM, as demonstrated by the following excerpt from the log: dovecot: Feb 06 12:46:59 Info: imap-login: Login: user=<pquesinb>, method=NTLM, rip=192.168.2.100, lip=192.168.2.102 dovecot: Feb 06 12:46:59 Info: imap-login: Login: user=<pquesinb>, method=NTLM, rip=192.168.2.100, lip=192.168.2.102 dovecot: Feb 06 12:47:42 Info: IMAP(pquesinb): Disconnected: Logged out dovecot: Feb 06 12:47:42 Info: IMAP(pquesinb): Disconnected: Logged out dovecot: Feb 06 12:48:03 Info: imap-login: Login: user=<pquesinb>, method=NTLM, rip=192.168.2.100, lip=192.168.2.102 dovecot: Feb 06 12:48:03 Info: imap-login: Login: user=<pquesinb>, method=NTLM, rip=192.168.2.100, lip=192.168.2.102 dovecot: Feb 06 12:48:44 Info: IMAP(pquesinb): Disconnected: Logged out dovecot: Feb 06 12:48:44 Info: IMAP(pquesinb): Disconnected: Logged out Authentication settings for 1.07 were as follows (excerpt from -n output, see below for full output): auth default: mechanisms: ntlm plain passdb: driver: passwd-file args: /etc/dovecot.users passdb: driver: pam args: cache_key=%u dovecot userdb: driver: passwd Since 1.07 was such an old version, I first tried updating to 1.2.17 and lost the ability to do NTLM authentication with the same settings: Feb 06 16:09:32 dovecot: Info: Dovecot v1.2.17 starting up (core dumps disabled) Feb 06 16:09:46 auth(default): Info: password(pquesinb,192.168.2.100): Requested NTLM scheme, but we have a NULL password Feb 06 16:09:53 auth(default): Info: password(pquesinb,192.168.2.100): Requested NTLM scheme, but we have a NULL password Feb 06 16:10:05 imap-login: Info: Disconnected (auth failed, 2 attempts): user=<pquesinb>, method=NTLM, rip=192.168.2.100, lip=192.168.2.102 Feb 06 16:11:54 auth(default): Info: password(pquesinb,192.168.2.100): Requested NTLM scheme, but we have a NULL password Feb 06 16:12:04 auth(default): Info: password(pquesinb,192.168.2.100): Requested NTLM scheme, but we have a NULL password Feb 06 16:12:16 imap-login: Info: Disconnected (auth failed, 2 attempts): user=<pquesinb>, method=NTLM, rip=192.168.2.100, lip=192.168.2.102 Next I decided to try 2.x and since I had installed 1.2.17 from source, I thought it would be wise to install from an RPM which had been "blessed" for CentOS 5, so 2.1.1 was installed from the RPMs linked to on the Dovecot download site: http://dl.atrpms.net/all/dovecot-2.1.1-2_132.el5.x86_64.rpm Still no NTLM authentication with 2.x using PAM, so I decided to try authenticating against the Samba 4 domain using Samba's winbind daemon and ntlm_auth helper.

[Dovecot] Maildir Control files and quota
by Tabbed Out 01 Mar '13

01 Mar '13

Hello all, the dovecot wiki recommended that the index and control files for maildir be placed on a partition which does not have a quota. I have a VPS which gives me 20 gigs of space. Since space is tight, is there some way to calculate how much space the partition needs for the control and index files? Would 1 gig be sufficient in the long run?

[Dovecot] postfix, dovecot, samba, winbind
by Denis Witt 01 Mar '13

01 Mar '13

Hello List, we're currently working on the migration of our LDAP/Samba3-Domain to Samba4-Active-Directory. So far everything works fine. Postfix can deliver Mails using ProxyAddresses-Information from the AD and Dovecot delivers the mail. Unfortunately when Postfix tells Dovecot to deliver the mail he submit the username without the AD-Domain part: Feb 28 17:17:59 tpdc postfix/pickup[30396]: 5DDAE2C0C2B: uid=0 from=<root> Feb 28 17:17:59 tpdc postfix/cleanup[30402]: 5DDAE2C0C2B: message-id=<20130228161759.5DDAE2C0C2B(a)mx0.concepts-and-training.de> Feb 28 17:17:59 tpdc postfix/qmgr[30395]: 5DDAE2C0C2B: from=<root(a)concepts-and-training.de>, size=463, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Feb 28 17:17:59 tpdc dovecot: lda(dwitt): msgid=<20130228161759.5DDAE2C0C2B(a)mx0.concepts-and-training.de>: saved mail to INBOX Feb 28 17:17:59 tpdc postfix/local[30404]: 5DDAE2C0C2B: to=<dwitt(a)concepts-and-training.de>, orig_to=<denis.witt(a)cat06.de>, relay=local, delay=0.24, delays=0.1/0.01/0/0.13, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered to command: /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver) Feb 28 17:17:59 tpdc postfix/qmgr[30395]: 5DDAE2C0C2B: removed So Dovecot saves the Mail to "/var/mail/dwitt/", which is fine for me. The Problem kicks in when I try to read my Mail. Dovecot uses "TESTDOM\dwitt" as username and so he didn't find the Mailbox and create a new one in "/var/mail/TESTDOM\dwitt". I tried to fix it with auth_username_translation and auth_username_format but it doesn't work. Any ideas? Thanks!

[Dovecot] help needed with dovecot authentication
by peter lawrie 01 Mar '13

01 Mar '13

Hi I have been asked to configure an dedicated rhel6 server for a customer. I did not realise when I took this on how complicated it was going to be! The purpose of the server is to host a group of websites for small businesses. It came with postfix-2.6.6-2.2 dovecot-2.0.9 and mysql-2.1.67-1 I have installed virtualmin 3.98, usermin1.540-1 and horde 5 About a dozen currently inactive websites have been set up, mail is in /home/<domain>/Maildir My problem is that I can telnet to postfix to send and receive emails and can see these within postfix in webmin I have been having many problems getting dovecot to connect successfully to postfix.

[Dovecot] Disallow Deletion from Trash Folder
by Bradley Rintoul 01 Mar '13

01 Mar '13

Hello: I've been tasked with trying to find a way to keep users from ever "permanently" deleting emails. The users are running Thunderbird and are using the "Archive" option for when emails are deleted. However, they are still able to delete emails from the Archive folders... I'm wondering if there's any way that I can configure Dovecot to make sure that emails *never* get removed from the filesystem. I know it's probably kind of a bizarre request, but is there any way that Dovecot can help me out in this regard? Thanks! B. Rintoul

[Dovecot] I need help with my mail client: was [OCLUG] running cron on UTC

Before describing the symptom, let me give you the situation... I'm running Claws-Mail 3.8.1 on Xubuntu 12.10. On the way out I just do normal port 465 SSL to my web host's SMTP server. On the way back, fetchmail grabs my messages from my ISP using IMAP (and erasing them on on the ISP's server after retrieval), then delivers them to procmail, which, based on filters, drops them into the correct directories of the Dovecot server running on my desktop. Claws-mail then views all my email on the IMAP server. slitt@mydesk:~$ dovecot -n # 2.1.7: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.5.0-25-generic x86_64 Ubuntu 12.10 ext4 At the bottom of this email I'll put a copy of a typical full header on a post from me. Here's the symptom: Every time I reply to an OCLUG post, Claws-Mail loads the *To* with oclug(a)mailman.oclug.org and the *CC* with oclug(a)penguin.oclug.org. Unless I remember to delete the CC, this makes me double post every time, and must be quite annoying to you all. This happens *only* on OCLUG posts: None of my other mailing lists display this symptom. It's actually weirder than that, because although when I compose the message the preceding is true, by the time I get the two messages back they both say oclug(a)penguin.oclug.org. This happens only with the OCLUG list, no others. I studied the full headers of the two messages when they came back to me, and could discern no difference in the two. What I did find, however, is that all OCLUG messages have: List-Post: <mailto:oclug@mailman.oclug.org> Reply-To: Orange County Linux Users Group <oclug(a)penguin.oclug.org> List-Id: Orange County Linux Users Group <oclug.mailman.oclug.org> Can anyone tell me how to start narrowing down the cause of this behavior? I've CC'ed the Claws-Mail list and the Dovecot list in hopes that maybe they have some ideas. The fact that the rest of you don't post doubles makes me wonder if it's a mail client thing (but of course, only for OCLUG).

[Dovecot] Looking for HOWTO for fc18 with postfix/TLS/imaps
by Alex 01 Mar '13

01 Mar '13

Hi all, Does there already exist a document that outlines the best approach to implement postfix with dovecot? I'd like to set up a Maildir system with TLS clients and SMTP Auth. I don't think I need to require client certs, but want to avoid cleartext passwords. It's unclear to me whether to use 143 with TLS or 993. I've currently set it up using 143 with STARTTLS using normal passwords. Is this correct? Can I use a regular apache web cert to provide an authorized cert and key to use for authentication by the clients? Thanks, Alex

[Dovecot] Support for PolarSSL?
by Charles Marcus 01 Mar '13

01 Mar '13

Hey Timo, Just curious if you ever thought about supporting other than just OpenSSL? PolarSSL looks really interesting, has no major dependencies and is very lightweight compared to OpenSSL, GNUTLS or others... https://polarssl.org/ I guess it could be a lot of work, or not, anyway, I'm just curious... -- Best regards, */Charles/*

[Dovecot] Best practice for sieve script synchronization
by Oli Schacher 01 Mar '13

01 Mar '13

We consider deploying a two server active-active setup with dsync replication for ~2500 users. I was wondering how people handle sieve script synchronization in such setups. We came up with a few options for syncing: 1) rsync/unison ~/sieve every x seconds 2) move sieve dirs to separatate partition and sync with gluster or drbd 3) patch roundcube managesieve sieve plugin to upload to both managesieve servers (only roundcube can access managesieve in our setup) 4) store sieve scripts in mysql and patch roundcube managesieve plugin to directly access the db instead of using managesieve (we tried this, but apparently sieve scripts read from db via dovecot dict can't have more than one line? show stopper due to roundcube sieve plugin needing comments to parse the scripts) 5) wait until Timo/Stephan add additional magic to dsync for sieve scripts as discussed in http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2011-October/061699.html ;-) We are tending towards 1) as this seems simplest and most robust solution but before we re-invent the wheel we'd like to "hear" your thoughts... Thanks Oli -- This message does not contain horse meat
