by Cor Bosman 10 Jul '11

10 Jul '11

Hey all, has anyone ever successfully implemented some form of OTP system with dovecot? Im looking at setting up an OATH/HOTP-TOTP based OTP for our services, but the webmail service (which uses dovecot) is a difficult one. Any info on implementations would be appreciated, Regards, Cor

Another question: All my user information are keeped inside LDAP using qmail.schema. Can dovecot pop3 look into ldap an return information about user mail directory, etc .... ? Thanks in advance.

[Dovecot] IMAP not working remotely
by Ondřej Bouda 09 Jul '11

09 Jul '11

Hello, I am trying to set up Dovecot 2.0.9 on Fedora 14. The problem I would like to ask for resolution is that IMAP is not working when connecting to the server from another network. More precisely: - POP3 is working entirely OK, - IMAP is working OK when clients are connecting using local network addresses, like 192.168.0.100, - when a client connects from outside, thus using remote IP address, or even from the server itself using the remote IP address of the server, the following happens: the client correctly connects, but the server sends no greeting (neither the configured login_greeting nor the server IMAP capabilities) and does not respond to the commands. In the server log, I get the following record a while after trying to connect (and actually trying to login): Jul 08 23:24:16 imap-login: Info: Disconnected: Inactivity (no auth attempts): rip=<remote-server-address>, lip=192.168.0.100 Both routing and firewall are OK. The client really connects to dovecot (hence the log message), as seen from a telnet session: Trying a.b.c.d... Connected to example.tld (a.b.c.d). Escape character is '^]'. (and then nothing else) The most confusing for me is the fact that POP3 is configured quite the same and works fine, as well as IMAP on the local network. I tried to change address in the inet_listener imap configuration, but if a wrong address setting was the cause, the client would not get connected at all. As I have spent a pretty long time unsuccessfully searching for a cause, I am asking for some help. Thanks for your time, Ondrej Bouda dovecot -n output follows: # 2.0.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.35.11-83.fc14.x86_64 x86_64 Fedora release 14 (Laughlin) ext4 auth_mechanisms = plain login cram-md5 digest-md5 ntlm disable_plaintext_auth = no first_valid_gid = 502 first_valid_uid = 502 last_valid_gid = 502 last_valid_uid = 502 log_path = /var/log/dovecot login_greeting = Welcome mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/virtual/%d/%n passdb { args = scheme=plain username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/passwd driver = passwd-file } protocols = imap pop3 service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } user = dovecot-auth } service imap-login { inet_listener imap { address = * port = 143 } } service pop3-login { inet_listener pop3 { address = * port = 110 } } ssl = no userdb { args = username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/passwd driver = passwd-file } protocol pop3 { pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv }

[Dovecot] auth_username_chars question
by Linda Walsh 09 Jul '11

09 Jul '11

I notice there is a space after the = in the default setting: #auth_username_chars = abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ01234567890.-_@ Is that space part of the syntax or required? If not, does that mean 'space' is included in the default list of allowed characters? If not, then is the space after the '=' required? -- If not, the implication would seem to be that space is 'ignored'. If that's the case, how does one include 'space' in the list of allowed characters? Also, how does one include the "\" character in the list of allowed characters? I.e. is anything accepted, literally, after the first non-space char after the '=' sign? I.e. any spaces after the first non-space char would be taken as valid character, and '\' would also be a literal character? (not that'd I'd be using windows's clients or anything that would, on occasion, pass "DOMAINAME\user" as the calling user trying to log into a 'user' account....or anything....*ahem*...) Overrode it w/some hard-coded hacks, but would like dovecot to me more robust and handle weird input and do the right thing with it (I know that's always a challenging concept for some people, since the answers and ability to arrive at 'correct' is always 'contextual', and so many people want absolute rules that apply all the time in all cases, but...I think thats a diagnosable psychological condition ;-) ).

[Dovecot] Possible bug in shared namespace variable?
by Tom Clark 08 Jul '11

08 Jul '11

As you would have seen earlier I've created a shared mailbox with the following namespace: namespace { type = shared separator = . prefix = Shared.%%n. location = maildir:/var/vpopmail/domains/%%d/%%n/Maildir:INDEX=~/Maildir/Shared/%%n subscriptions = no list = children } This works perfectly, but for some reason the %%n variable in the location maildir is blank. Everywhere else %%n is used works (e.g. the prefix and INDEX). This means for the shared mailbox under support(a)mailbox.com I get a folder Mailder in the domain folder: /var/vpopmail/domains/mailbox.com/Maildir instead of /var/vpopmail/domains/mailbox.com/support/Maildir. Has anyone else come across this?

I've setup a shared folder on my server which isn't showing in the list command for the user it's shared with. Can someone help? I have done everything correctly I believe. The user sharing their mailbox is support@, while I'm the user being shared with, tom@ namespace { type = shared separator = . prefix = Shared.%%u. location = maildir:%%h/Maildir:INDEX=~/Maildir/Shared/%%u subscriptions = no list = children } mail_plugins = acl protocol imap { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins imap_acl } plugin { acl = vfile } # Support for multiple domains plugin { acl_shared_dict = file:/var/vpopmail/domains/%d/shared-mailboxes } This what is in the dict file says: shared/shared-boxes/user/tom@mailbox.com/support@mailbox.com When running a GETACL as support(a)mailbox.com I get: 3 getacl Support * ACL "Support" "tom(a)mailbox.com" lr "support(a)mailbox.com" lrwstipekxacd 3 OK Getacl completed.

[Dovecot] Trash handling?
by Mason Loring Bliss 07 Jul '11

07 Jul '11

Hello, all. I've recently switched over to Dovecot from a long stretch of using Courier IMAP, and there's one thing I don't have working that I'd quite like. With Courier I had a magic trash folder in which things I deleted would live for a specified amount of time, after which they'd be deleted. I see how to get the expiry behaviour I want, but not the magic saving-to-mailbox functionality. lazy_expunge looks similar but not precisely what I want. Is there a default way to get expunged messages moved to a different mailbox but not a different namespace? Thanks in advance for clues. -- Mason Loring Bliss mason(a)blisses.org Ewige Blumenkraft!

[Dovecot] passdb/userdb via UNIX socket?
by Peter Mogensen 07 Jul '11

07 Jul '11

Hi, I've been running some performance tests - especially delivery (LDA and LMTP) and it seems there's room for improvement. At least it would be nice to get rid of the fork() and pipe to deliver LDA and the fork of the checkpasswd script for userdb lookup. I've tried LMTP to not fork deliver (*), but checkpasswd still takes time (ok, maybe because it's written on perl as of now). But I was wondering, why there's no passdb/userdb plugin for talking to a local authentication daemon over a UNIX socket? Have I missed something? Is there a thirdparty patch for this? /Peter *: Using Postfix "virtual" LDA seems much faster than asking Postfix to pipe data to "deliver". ... but then of course, I get no dovecot indexing by the LDA.

[Dovecot] Public Mailbox & ACLs
by Tom Clark 06 Jul '11

06 Jul '11

Hi, I'm having a problem I can't get my head around. I'm trying to setup a public mailbox that is hidden from all users unless granted access through an ACL. My folder structure is (migrated from a Courier IMAP/Qmail server): /var/spool/maildir - main public folder (contains a few .qmail files to redirect mail to the correct subfolder) /var/spool/maildir/Support - support public folder (a public folder rather than a maildir) /var/spool/maildir/Support/.SubFolder1 - support sub folder 1 (a maildir) /var/spool/maildir/Support/.SubFolder2 - support sub folder 2 (another maildir) /var/spool/maildir/System /var/spool/maildir/System/.SubFolder1 /var/spool/maildir/System/.SubFolder2 I couldn't get the namespace working correctly to just have 1 folder called "Shared" (you just got an empty folder when trying to subscribe). I ended up making 2 namespaces below: namespace { type = public separator = . prefix = Shared.Support. location = maildir:/var/spool/maildir/Support:INDEX=~/Maildir/Support subscriptions = no } namespace { type = public separator = . prefix = Shared.System. location = maildir:/var/spool/maildir/System:INDEX=~/Maildir/System subscriptions = no } This allowed me to get the result I was looking for. Using an ACL I get a Shared->Support/System->Subfolders view. However the problem is when a user is not in the ACL they can still see the Shared->Support/System folders (just none of the subfolders) and obviously can't subscribe. Could someone let me know what I am doing wrong and if there is a better way of doing this? Many thanks, Tom

[Dovecot] Problems with acl and shared namespace
by Udo Lembke 06 Jul '11

06 Jul '11

Hi, i'm a dovecot-newbie and also new at this mailinglist. I'm try to configure an mailserver with dovecot2, postfix and postfixadmin. At this time i struggle with acl and shared namespace. My goal is, that every user get an archive-area on an separate storage without quota (quota isn't running yet). With: namespace { type = private separator = / prefix = "archiv/%u/" location = maildir:/var/data/archiv/%d/%n:INDEX=/var/data/indexes/archiv/%u:LAYOUT=fs inbox = no subscriptions = yes list = yes } I see the folder, but i can't subscribe them (with thunderbird, or roundcube). With roundcube i can add a new folder below - so i use the trick autocreate5 = archiv/%u/archiv autosubscribe5 = archiv/%u/archiv This is as workaround ok - or is this a "must be"?. But the user should also be able to share parts of the archiv-mailbox with other users (partly on different domains). If i change the type of namespace to shared, i can't access the archiv-folder. The logfile shows problems with the acl (but also with private namespace): Jun 30 11:15:11 imap(test(a)example.com): Debug: Namespace : type=shared, prefix=archiv/test(a)example.com/, sep=/, inbox=no, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes location=maildir:/var/data/archiv/example.com/test:INDEX=/var/data/indexes/… Jun 30 11:15:11 imap(test(a)example.com): Debug: fs: root=/var/data/archiv/example.com/test, index=/var/data/indexes/archiv/test(a)example.com, control=, inbox= Jun 30 11:15:11 imap(test(a)example.com): Debug: acl: initializing backend with data: vfile Jun 30 11:15:11 imap(test(a)example.com): Debug: acl: acl username = test(a)example.com Jun 30 11:15:11 imap(test(a)example.com): Debug: acl: owner = 0 Jun 30 11:15:11 imap(test(a)example.com): Debug: acl vfile: Global ACL directory: (none) Jun 30 11:15:11 imap(test(a)example.com): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions from /var/data/mail/example.com/test: mode=0700 gid=-1 Jun 30 11:15:11 imap(test(a)example.com): Debug: acl vfile: file /var/data/archiv/example.com/test/dovecot-acl not found Jun 30 11:15:11 imap(test(a)example.com): Debug: autocreate: Failed to create mailbox archiv: Permission denied Jun 30 11:15:11 imap(test(a)example.com): Debug: Namespace archiv/test(a)example.com/: Using permissions from /var/data/archiv/example.com/test: mode=0700 gid=-1 Jun 30 11:15:11 imap(test(a)example.com): Debug: acl vfile: file /var/data/mail/example.com/test/dovecot-acl not found I'm wondering about "...dovecot-acl not found" because dovecot create an file "dovecot-acl-list" : # ls -l /var/data/archiv/example.com/test/ drwx------ 5 dovecot dovecot 4096 30.

[Dovecot] proxying user logged in with master user
by Miguel Cabeça 06 Jul '11

06 Jul '11

Hello, I'm running dovecot 1.2.15 and I'm having a problem proxying a user to another host, when this user is logged in with a masteruser. I have two dovecot servers configured to serve half of the users locally and to proxy the other half to the other host. Proxying is done using the masteruser feature (username*proxy) and it works as expected as the following test shows: # nc localhost 143 * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN AUTH=GSSAPI] Dovecot ready. 01 LOGIN ist90001 password_for_ist90001 01 OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE SORT SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT IDLE CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE QRESYNC ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH LIST-STATUS QUOTA] Logged in ^C And the corresponding log entry: Jul 6 13:10:06 mail1 dovecot: imap-login: proxy(ist90001): started proxying to X.Y.Z.W:143/ist90001*proxy: user=<ist90001>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured Jul 6 13:10:09 mail1 dovecot: imap-login: proxy(ist90001): disconnecting 127.0.0.1 The ist90001 is proxied to the other host as expected and as configured. The problem occurs when I try to use another masteruser to log into the server: # nc localhost 143 * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN AUTH=GSSAPI] Dovecot ready. 01 LOGIN ist90001*super password_for_super_masteruser 01 OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE SORT SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT IDLE CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE QRESYNC ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH LIST-STATUS QUOTA] Logged in ^C But this time the user isn't proxied to the other host. Instead he is logged in this host: Jul 6 13:11:14 mail1 dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<ist90001>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured Jul 6 13:11:16 mail1 dovecot: IMAP(ist90001): Connection closed bytes=0/292 Is this the intended behavior or a bug? I was expecting the user to be logged in with the password of the super masteruser, and then be proxied to the other host as it happens when the user is logged in with it's own password. I can provide any configuration details if needed. Best Regards Miguel Cabeça

[Dovecot] Converting from qpopper mbox to dovecot maildir
by list＠airstreamcomm.net 05 Jul '11

05 Jul '11

We have an older mail server using qpopper and the mbox format which we need to update to dovecot and maildir format. I have read through the docs on migrating from mbox to maildir, as well as a few nuggets on how to migrate from qpopper to dovecot, and I was wondering if I could get some suggestions on best practices for this specific migration. Would the built in dovecot conversion plugin be a viable method to migrate users? We will be migrating to dovecot 2.0.12 from qpopper 4.0.5. Thanks.

Hello, I want to set a uniform quota for each mailbox. (2000 MB per mailbox, no message limit) plugin { quota = dict:User quota::file:%h/Maildir/dovecot-quota quota_rule = *:storage=2000M quota_warning = storage=85%% quota-warning 85 %u protocol imap { mail_plugins = quota imap_quota } protocol lda { auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mail_plugins = sieve quota } Is that enough or missing something? -- Christopher
