[Dovecot] dovecot-lda logging
by Nishant Limbachia 19 Aug '10

19 Aug '10

Hi everyone, I'm using Postfix and Dovecot with dovecot-lda used for local delivery. I've successfully migrated from 1.2.13 to 2.0.0 however I have a little problem with dovecot-lda logging. With version 1.2.13, I use to log dovecot-lda to /var/log/dovecot-lda.log with world-writable mode. With version 2.0.0, postfix complains: "Can't open log file /var/log/dovecot.log: permission denied". This is understandable because my dovecot.log file is 0600 mode. My question is how do I retain the 1.2.13 functionality of logging dovecot-lda to /var/log/dovecot-lda.log. I've read the LDA.txt in the wiki documentation and it states I can override log_path & info_log_path like this: protocol lda { log_path = /var/log/dovecot-lda.log info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-lda.log } What I don't know is where to add that segment. Should I add it to 10-logging.conf or 15-lda.conf? Right now I've added that to both the files but I still see the postfix permission denied message. I will appreciate if someone can help out. Thanks! BTW, Great work Timo!!! Thank you very much for a great piece of software!

[Dovecot] Linux should be as easy as Windows
by Dennis Clarke 19 Aug '10

19 Aug '10

>From a "Standards" thread I saw this : "Linux should be as easy as Windows" I would like to point out that this is a thinking problem. A shift in thinking is required. That should say : "Open source and Free software should be as easy as Windows" In this way we allow someone running BSD, Solaris or some port of Debian to an old Dec AlphaServer will have the same level of functionality provided standards are adhered to. Once programmers begin to see everything in the light of Linux then we can also kiss goodbye the opportunity for portability to other OS types. Dennis

[Dovecot] Pigeonhole: error while loading shared libraries
by Sebastian Köhler 19 Aug '10

19 Aug '10

Hi, I built pigeonhole from the hg repo for Dovecot 2.0. Local sieve scripts work fine. But as soon as I try to connect via managesieve I get this errror: managesieve-login: Error: dovecot/managesieve-login: error while loading shared libraries: libdovecot-login.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory My dovecot install is in /usr/lib/dovecot and I had to symlink the libs in the dovecot folder to /usr/lib to make managesieve work. My configure options were: "--prefix=/usr --with-dovecot=/usr/lib/dovecot" Sebastian -- The best thing about a boolean is even if you are wrong, you are only off by a bit.

[Dovecot] rare index cache error with dovecot 1.2.10
by Wolfgang.Friebel＠desy.de 18 Aug '10

18 Aug '10

Hi, since some time for a single user updating the Maildir/dovecot.index.cache file produced errors whenever it needed to be updated: Aug 15 04:16:40 imapsrv dovecot: deliver(user): pwrite() failed: File too large Aug 15 04:16:40 imapsrv dovecot: deliver(user): file_set_size() failed with index cache file /var/spool/mail/mamuzic/Maildir/dovecot.index.cache: File too large The file itself was 55115776 bytes and a test program using pwrite with any reasonable size or offset does not produce the EFBIG error. Looking to the file contents the start of the file looks correct to me ( according to src/lib-index/mail-cache-private.h ) and despite of the error message the file gets updated and contains always the headers of the most recent incoming mail near the end of the file. After removing the file the cache was rebuilt properly (currently at 9MB). As this happened only for a single user out of approx 500 and after more than one year of using dovecot without any other problems I guess this is a very rare case. As pwrite tests do not show the error this seems not to be an issue with low file limits (as suggested in another mail on this topic) but maybe a lookup of corrupt addresses from the index.cache. I have saved the dovecot.index.cache, but as it is rather large (55MB) and does contain a lot of privacy information I would rather not make it accessible. Is there something I can further check to see whether dovecot is missing a sanity check? -- Wolfgang Friebel Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY Phone/Fax: +49 33762 77372/216 Platanenallee 6 Mail: Wolfgang.Friebel AT desy.de D-15738 Zeuthen Germany

[Dovecot] Extension for sorting mails by Displayname
by Michael Kliewe 18 Aug '10

18 Aug '10

Hi everybody, first of all, thanks Timo for version 2.0. Currently I want to sort mails server-side by displayname of FROM and TO. There is an extension for it, but I think dovecot does not support it at the moment. It is defined in RFC 5957: https://www.tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5957 Is there an dovecot extension for it, how can I get that running? Michael

You could create a plugin that triggers getmail every time IMAP's STATUS command is sent. Or probably best to do it on mailbox_opened hook (in v2.0).

Upgrade to 1.1.x or 1.2.x? I believe that many people consider 1.0.x to be hideously ancient. I believe that many people on this list will be significantly reluctant to help you with anything before 1.2.x. Version 2.0.0 was declared the current release version last Monday (16 Aug 2010), with the previous current release version before that being 1.2.13. I believe that many people on this will not consider "But My Distro Provides Version X!" to be a valid excuse. Find a more up-to-date binary package, upgrade your distro, install from source; there is always a way. Bill

I will go back and recompile 1.2.13 and 2.0.0 again. Maybe the addition of postgressql libs linked in or the use of GCC is the issue on Solaris. Not sure but 1.2.12 to 1.2.13 did not go smoothly at all. Dennis

[Dovecot] Using dovecot with vpopmail and mysql auth?
by Aaron Greengrass 18 Aug '10

18 Aug '10

Hi, Does anyone happen to know the right strings to do authentication against mysql storing vpopmail data, vs using the vpopmail auth module? I'm trying to get up to both vpopmail 5.5, and dovecot 2.0, and dovecot-auth seems to reliably segfault on the 5.5 vpopmail module. I've tried downgrading vpopmail as well, with less than stellar results. I saw an old article about doing exactly that -- switching from the vpop module, while still using it's DB, but it is both a) old, and b) confusing. Any help you can offer -- or urls in a pinch -- would be appreciated.

[Dovecot] Very complex Master User Examples using MySQL
by Marc Perkel 17 Aug '10

17 Aug '10

For those who are interested I have posted in the Wiki examples of using master users in very interesting ways. In these example we will create 3 kinds of master users. The first will be users who can read all email for all domains. The next example will be users who can read all email for their domain only. The third example will be users who can read email of domains listed in a separate ownership table. http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/MasterUsers Go to Advanced SQL Examples at bottom Let me know what you think. In order to actually make this work you'll have to apply this patch Timo just posted: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.0/rev/3ba227176cde

[Dovecot] Tricky Master User Query - need MySQL help
by Marc Perkel 17 Aug '10

17 Aug '10

OK - I want to do something very tricky with master users and if I get it to work I'm adding it to the wiki for everyone to use. So far I have a MySQL database that servers multiple domains. I can set a flag making someone a domain owner that allows that person to become master of that domain. Here's the query for that. password_query = SELECT user_name, domain_name, password FROM users WHERE user_name = '%n' AND domain_name = '%d' AND owns_domain='1' AND '%d'='%{login_domain}' So - here's where we get tricky. I have another table called "ownership" where I have 2 fields which is a pairing of email addresses (login_id) and domains owned (owned_object). Data might look like this: joe(a)blow.com domain1.com joe(a)blow.com domain2.com Since joe(a)blow.com owns both domain1.com and domain2.com I want him to be able to log in as anyone in those 2 domains as a master user. Examples: tom@domain1.com*joe@blow.com harry@domain2.com*joe@blow.com So the idea is to create a MySQL query so that if the master user matches the domain part of the login user then it returns true and allows the login. What MySQL query will do that?

[Dovecot] Master Login using MySQL problem - %{login_domain}
by Marc Perkel 17 Aug '10

17 Aug '10

Hi Timo, Been trying to track this problem down further. The problem seems to be related to verifying the master user failing. My passdb looks like this: passdb { driver = sql args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-domain-owner-sql.conf master = yes pass = yes } dovecot-domain-owner-sql.conf contains: user_query = SELECT user_name, domain_name FROM users WHERE user_name = '%n' AND domain_name = '%d' AND owns_domain='1' password_query = SELECT user_name, domain_name, password FROM users WHERE user_name = '%n' AND domain_name = '%d' AND owns_domain='1' AND '%d'='%{login_domain}' In this example - bill(a)plf.net is an ordinary user. tom(a)plf.net is a domain owner. Tom wants to read bills email. The login is: bill@plf.net*tom@plf.net This results in tom(a)plf.net being classified as an unknown user. Aug 17 08:38:30 auth: Debug: sql(tom(a)plf.net,127.0.0.1): query: SELECT user_name, domain_name, password FROM users WHERE user_name = 'tom' AND domain_name = 'plf.net' AND owns_domain='1' AND 'plf.net'='' Aug 17 08:38:30 auth: Info: sql(tom(a)plf.net,127.0.0.1): unknown user Aug 17 08:38:32 auth: Debug: client out: FAIL 15 user=tom(a)plf.net Aug 17 08:38:32 imap-login: Info: Aborted login (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=<tom(a)plf.net>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, mpid=0, secured Note that the query used to determine that tom(a)plf.net is valid is the password_query and not the user_query resulting in unknown user. I think that's where the problem is.

This configuration is really for 1.2.x even though it says for 2.0: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/ManageSieve/Configuration Trying to assign the port number is not by using "listen". Anyway, I just reverted, on the client, to using the default port 2000. The managesieve client now hangs trying to login and eventually times out. Is the new pigeonhole managesieve incompatible with clients that worked with managesieve 0.11.11? There is no output in the log concerning managesieve from pigeonhole. I guess I could put log=/path/to/a/file in the managesieve part and see what happens. In the old dovecot 1.2, we would get a "managesieve-login" in the log when a client even TRIED to login; now, nothing! -- Jerrale G. SC Senior Admin
