[Dovecot] BLF-CRYPT
by Kristof Bajnok 07 Jan '13

07 Jan '13

Hi, I get "Unknown scheme: BLF-CRYPT" messages if I try to use Blowfish-encrypted passwords, even though it is supposed to be supported. I'm on 2.1.7, Debian Squeeze backports. Do you have any information whether Blowfish is supported with Debian Squeeze crypt(), or is there any other knobs I can turn on to make this algorithm available? Thanks, Kristof

[Dovecot] Problem setting up dovecot on Debian: "telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused"
by Chris Evans 07 Jan '13

07 Jan '13

I would like to get dovecot running on my laptop so I can transfer a lot of old Email from Thunderbird mailbox files to a hosted zimbra service. However I'm falling at the first hurdle. I'm running Debian squeeze i386 (kernel 2.6.32-5-686) and have installed dovecot-imapd and dovecot-common with synaptic and edited /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf to make sure it has the right protocols and listen instructions. Here's dovecot -n root@delldeb:/etc/dovecot# dovecot -n # 1.2.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 i686 Debian 6.0.6 log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S listen: 143 993 disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login mail_privileged_group: mail mbox_write_locks: fcntl dotlock auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd Here's ps: root@delldeb:/etc/dovecot# ps aux | grep dove root 10353 0.0 0.0 3944 792 ?

My reading of all of this is that the dovecot daemon is up and running, that it's listening correctly on 143 and 993 and that I have to do something else to get authorisation even to start the IMAP dialogue with the server. I would like to get it working and locked to SSL only but thought I should start with both unencrypted and encrypted. Can someone help me or point me to the bits of documentation or good web howto or the like that I've missed? TIA, Chris (long term Debian user but it's some years since I last ran my own mail server and I'm a total newby to imap and dovecot)

[Dovecot] dovecot as layer between postfix and thunderbird
by martin svensson 05 Jan '13

05 Jan '13

Hello, im all new to this but feel i want to have a dedicated server to handle my mails from Gmail and Hotmail Basically, i installed SMS, superb Mini Server (based on slackware), and with that default install i got: dovecot, postfix, fetchmail and sendmail. The postfix part seems to work according to a "telnet localhost 25", now i want to procede with dovecot, as i understand it, its the middle layer between (in my case) postfix and thunderbird. What i expect in the very end is a dedicated server who regulary checks and fetches mails, and lets me have all contacts info in the (already up and running) LDAP server. When i start thunderbird, i want it to go grab those mails from my local machine I am, ofcourse all over manpages, HOWTOs, guides and google, but would certainly appriciate further help and points in the right direction My apologises for any weird beginner mistakes in this post

[Dovecot] doveadm backup issue with ACL plugin enabled

Hi, Non-standard fields are mentioned here: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/Maildir and they are stated as currently not used. Questions: - am I right that if they will be used, they will be key=value pairs, like fields in the base filename? Like: 1035478339.27041_118.foo.org,S=1000,W=1030:2,S,X=12,A=something - or are they supposed to be flags, like: 1035478339.27041_118.foo.org,S=1000,W=1030:2,S,ABCD - are there any plans to utilize these? Thanks,

[Dovecot] Dovecot Virtual Users with Sendmail
by DormitionSkete＠hotmail.com 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

I'm trying to get Dovecot working with Virtual Users and Sendmail on OpenIndiana 151a7. OpenIndiana is the Open Source continuation of OpenSolaris after Oracle tried to kill it off a couple of years ago shortly after acquiring Sun Microsystems. I'm not sure if this is so much a Dovecot problem, as much of a Sendmail problem. I thought this would probably be a better list to start with, though. If not, please let me know. I initially used this Dovecot wiki page to approach this: Simple Virtual User Installation http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/SimpleVirtualInstall I had to make few minor changes, but I don't think anything significant to the problem I'm having. I can log into SquirrelMail with both virtual users, and with system users. I can send mail to system users from both virtual and system users. I can see the mail that I sent in the Sent Messages folder for both types of users. I just can't send mail to virtual users. When I try to, I get the following message: ERROR: Message not sent. Server replied: Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable 550 5.1.1 <dswebstore@localhost>... User unknown My configuration info is as follows: systemuser@openindiana:~# /usr/local/sbin/dovecot --version 2.1.12 systemuser@openindiana:~# /usr/local/sbin/dovecot -n # 2.1.12: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: SunOS 5.11 i86pc auth_verbose = yes base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/ disable_plaintext_auth = no first_valid_uid = 101 info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-info.log log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log mail_location = mbox:/home/vmail/%u/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u passdb { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/passwd driver = passwd-file } pop3_uidl_format = %g protocols = imap pop3 service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { group = vmail mode = 0600 user = vmail } } ssl = no userdb { args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/home/vmail/%u driver = static } protocol lda { postmaster_address = systemuser@localhost } --- My dovecot password file looks something like this, though changed for obvious security reasons: systemuser:{PLAIN} systemuserPASS virtualuser1:{PLAIN}virtualuser1PASS virtualuser2:{PLAIN}virtualuser2PASS --- I read on this page that I needed to put the following in my sendmail dovecot.m4 file: Dovecot LDA with Sendmail http://wiki2.dovecot.org/LDA/Sendmail So this is my dovecot.m4 file, which shows up in my sendmail.cf file after recompiling my sendmail.mc file. ######################*****############## ### DOVECOT Mailer specification ### ##################*****################## Mdovecot, P=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda, F=DFMPhnu9, S=EnvFromSMTP/HdrFromSMTP, R=EnvToSMTP/HdrFromSMTP, T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix, A=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -d $u --- Finally, this is my sendmail.mc file: divert(-1) # # Copyright (c) 1983 Eric P.

[Dovecot] clucene-config.h location
by Dimitri 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

By deafult, CLucene installs the clucene-config.h header to /usr/lib/CLucene, but fts-lucene tries to include it from /usr/include/CLucene and fails. Here is how it is fixed in Fedora, for instance: sed -i '/DEFAULT_INCLUDES *=/s|$| '"$(pkg-config --cflags libclucene-core)|" src/plugins/fts-lucene/Makefile.in Indeed, Lucene's pkgconfig file reflects the fact that some headers reside in /usr/lib/CLucene. It would be great if Dovecot used pkgconfig for CLucene. Thanks, Dimitri Mageia Linux packager

[Dovecot] Can't rename mailboxes, any ideas on how to fix?
by Howard Leadmon 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

I am running Dovecot 2.1.12 under FreeBSD, and I use Outlook 2010 with imap to connect to my server. I know I used to be able to rename mailboxes, as I do this every year at year end, but when I went to rename some mailboxes the start of this year, blamo up popped the message "CANNOT Renaming not supported across conflicting directory permissions". Then only thing that has really been updated here, is Dovecot itself, as I know the FBSD port updates when new versions are released. Any clues on what may have caused this, or how to best correct it? --- Howard Leadmon

[Dovecot] Dovecot 1.2.7 and Roundcube LIST-EXTENDED commands
by aristidis fesarlis 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

Hi all, we use Dovecot 1.2.7 with Maildir, and recently we have set up the latest Roundcube webmail. Inside its config file,it is mentioned that: // By default list of subscribed folders is determined using LIST-EXTENDED // extension if available. Some servers (dovecot 1.x) returns wrong results // for shared namespaces in this case. http://trac.roundcube.net/ticket/1486225 // Enable this option to force LSUB command usage instead. I notice that it seems to work fine, though. We don't have shared namespaces. So my question is: should I change it to LSUB, or will I have problems with my Maildir subscriptions? Thanks

[Dovecot] Dovecot auto subscribe imap public folder

Hi, I have a public folder up and running. This public folder is shared across the company, but when one user makes a new folder then it is not automatically visible to othe users. They need to subscribe manually. Is there a way to automatically subscribe to this?

[Dovecot] Folder names
by James Starowitz 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

Running a pretty basic setup of imap +pop3 on version 2.1.10 Users are able to create folders in imap that contain "&" the folder on the backend reflects "&-" as it should, you can list folder, but then when you relog into imap then decides it can no longer subscribe to this folder due to invalid UTF characters. Essentially allowing users to lock themselves out by using a very common character in a folder name. Might one of the imap client compatibility plugins in imapd cause this quirkiness ? Should I be coming at this from another direction? Is this a bug?

[Dovecot] Kerberos/GSSAPI auth via .k5login file
by Jörg Herzinger 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

Hi, we are currently moving our mailserver to a new server with Dovecot, virtual users in LDAP, Passwords in Kerberos Setup. Everything works fine except for GSSAPI which seems to be a bit buggy. The thing is, that when using a .k5login [1] file it seems that SASL does not get passed the home directory specified userdb. In other words, mails for user1 (see below) are stored in /home/domain.at/user1, while the home dir defined in LDAP is /afs/domain.at/home/user1 (virtual users, so only dovecot, not the system does know about this user and home dir). If I do create a .k5login file in /home/domain.at/user1 with the content "someotheruser(a)DOMAIN.AT", then someotheruser should be able to authenticate himself as user1 via GSSAPI. However, this .k5login file is completely ignored. So it seems to me that the home is not passed on to SASL. If I do add ldap to my nsswitch (for testing only) I additionally have real system users. Now if I create a .k5login in their home defined in LDAP which now also the system knows about everything works just fine. It is still the wrong home since its the one in LDAP and not the one defined by dovecot but at least it shows that our setup is working. See also debug log output below, a failed GSSAPI attempt produces no log output at all. Our System is Debian Wheezy on an amd64 (virtualized), dovecot Version 2.1.7, filesystem is ext4. Everything is tested with Firefox 17.0 on an Ubuntu Lucid client.

[Dovecot] dovecot and avahi
by Robert Moskowitz 03 Jan '13

03 Jan '13

I am trying to figure out if I need avahi on my mail server. I see that POP3 and IMAP are services that Avahi can advertise/discover. Does Dovecot work with Avahi and how do you get POP3 and IMAP advertised? And perhaps more importantly, what clients look for mail services this way? I can't find any information on this in the Dovecot documentation ot googling. Perhaps my search fu is low this year. thank you

[Dovecot] Migration Problem UW-IMAP to Dovecot Maildir
by Michael Sloan 03 Jan '13

03 Jan '13

I've just replaced our ancient (10-year old) mail server running Sendmail/UW-IMAP on Solaris with Postfix/Dovecot 2.1.10 running on Linux on new hardware. I opted to go with virtual users and I didn't want to create system accounts and I might end up hosting another department's mail as well. We have a mix of POP3 and IMAP users, roughly 90 total. The POP3 user mailboxes migrated without a hitch, and the IMAP user mailboxes (in what looks like mbox format) migrated well for the INBOX (found in /var/mail/<username> ) but for those few who managed to create local folders and had mail files in their home directories, those mail files were ignored. Is there any clean way to manage to migrate those folders to the new server now? There were no .mailboxlist or .subscription files anywhere on the old mail server. When I was planning the migration, I tried a variety of the methods listed on the UW-IMAP and generic migration pages including dsync, uw2dovecot.pl, and several others. What appeared to work well at the time was this, although I still have the mail in users' home directories to recover/migrate: /usr/local/bin/doveadm -o imapc_user=$1 -o pop3c_user=$1 -o imapc_password=$2 -o pop3c_password=$2 backup -R -u $1(a)caps.fsu.edu imapc: with this dovecot.conf: # 2.1.10: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.0.13-0.27-pae i686 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (i586) ext3 auth_mechanisms = plain login disable_plaintext_auth = no imapc_features = rfc822.size imapc_host = p1.caps.fsu.edu imapc_list_prefix = INBOX listen = * mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir namespace { hidden = yes list = no location = pop3c: prefix = POP3-MIGRATION-NS/ } namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = separator = . } passdb { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } plugin { pop3_migration_mailbox = POP3-MIGRATION-NS/INBOX } pop3_uidl_format = %08Xv%08Xu pop3c_host = p1.caps.fsu.edu service auth { unix_listener /var/run/dovecot/auth-master { mode = 0600 user = vmail } unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/var/vmail/%d/%n allow_all_users=yes driver = static } protocol lda { auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master log_path = mail_plugins = postmaster_address = postmaster(a)caps.fsu.edu } protocol doveadm { mail_plugins = " pop3_migration" } -- Michael Sloan Systems Administrator FSU Center for Advanced Power Systems sloan(a)caps.fsu.edu
