[Dovecot] suggestion
by Andreas Schulze 25 May '10

25 May '10

hello, dovecot2 implements "!include conf.d/*.conf" to build the configuration from multiple configfiles. So the settings for pop3, imap or lmtp may stay in different files. unfortunately the "protocol = " does not allow a += logic to enables or disable inet listeners. It would be nice to have protocols += imap in conf.d/imap.conf and protocols += managesieve in conf.d/managesieve.conf This would make the include feature more consistent... or is it already possible ? -- Andreas Schulze Internetdienste | P532 DATEV eG 90329 Nürnberg | Telefon +49 911 319-0 | Telefax +49 911 319-3196 E-Mail info @datev.de | Internet www.datev.de Sitz: 90429 Nürnberg, Paumgartnerstr. 6-14 | Registergericht Nürnberg, GenReg Nr.70 Vorstand Prof. Dieter Kempf (Vorsitzender) Dipl.-Kfm.

[Dovecot] Sieve problem. Timo, is this mbox file size limitation hard coded? If so, why?
by Stan Hoeppner 25 May '10

I would not have expected this upon implementing sieve. And I really need to get around this limitation. LDA has no problem writing to these large mbox files. Why does sieve have a problem with them? This is very odd.

[Dovecot] List shared folders
by Marcio Merlone 25 May '10

25 May '10

Good morning! I run an imap-only Ubuntu 8.04 mail server with dovecot 1.2 and pam_ldap, so all my users are posix users. No virtual user or domain, no sql so far. I am setting up shared folders with "namespace shared". I got no errors upon restarting the service, but I get no shared folders listing. As per the wiki http://wiki.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Shared I can use a bdb file or sql connection to keep the listing. But when I use a single bdb file like: plugin { acl_shared_dict = file:/var/lib/dovecot/shared-mailboxes.db } everytime a user logs in, this file get its ownership to the user with 0600 mode. I could use an sql dictionary, but since I dont have any sql params on my configs I am not sure where to store connection params like user, password and host for database. Can anybody help me with that? My goal is to allow my users to shared selected folders with other users, hope to be in the right path. Thanks and regards. -- Marcio Merlone

[Dovecot] Setting up ACL for IMAP
by Andrés Gattinoni 25 May '10

25 May '10

Hi guys, I just suscribed cause I'm trying to do something which I'm not sure how. I need to prevent some accounts from deleting there emails. >From what I've seen [0] this could be achieved by using ACL. My first question is, is this right? Is there a way to achieve the same using POP3? I tried setting up ACL using the info at the Wiki [1], but it's not working. What I've seen is that when I put: protocol imap { mail_plugins = acl imap_acl } I get the following error: May 14 14:54:52 mail dovecot: SIGHUP received - reloading configuration May 14 14:54:52 mail dovecot: imap dump-capability: Couldn't read capability (got 0 bytes) May 14 14:54:52 mail dovecot: Invalid configuration, keeping old one May 14 14:54:52 mail dovecot: child 32301 (unknown) returned error 82 (Internal logging error) Looking on the internet I found out that I don't have the imap_acl lib shared object.

[Dovecot] SSL Bug
by Matthew Sackman 25 May '10

25 May '10

Hi, After many hours of testing, I've finally tracked down the issue I have been having with dovecot's SSL support. The problem is that the SSL certs result in "TLS handshaking: SSL_accept() syscall failed: Connection reset by peer" errors *if the certificate granted is not granted for client use*. For servers, I normally generate SSL certificates specifically for servers: [ server_ca_extensions ] basicConstraints = CA:false keyUsage = keyEncipherment extendedKeyUsage = 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.1 If you just do that, then the SSL certificate doesn't work in dovecot (it will work fine in Apache, or Postfix etc etc). You also need the certificate to be valide for client side work: [ client_and_server_ca_extensions ] basicConstraints = CA:false keyUsage = digitalSignature, keyEncipherment extendedKeyUsage = 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.2, 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.1 I believe this is a fault with Dovecot. This is with the Debian package for Dovecot 1.2.11 (Version: 1:1.2.11-1). The default self-signed certificate the Debian post-install script generates pops out a certificate that is valid for everything, which is why it works by default out of the box. Matthew

[Dovecot] dovecot/deliver ... Can't open log file /var/log/dovecot/error.log: Permission denied
by Phil Howard 24 May '10

24 May '10

I'm getting this ... May 10 12:45:01 eth0 postfix/local[3416]: A788D685F7: to=< xxxxxxxx(a)xxxxxxxx.net>, relay=local, delay=13, delays=13/0/0/0.03, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (temporary failure. Command output: Can't open log file /var/log/dovecot/error.log: Permission denied ) So I'm looking at http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA to see what I can do about it. I would have hoped some comments in the example config file would have mentioned this and suggested a default practice solution. Is this something few people or many people encounter (among those using dovecot/deliver from Postfix)? If I do as the wiki describes and make separate log files for dovecot/deliver to use, do I just make them owned by Postfix? It would seem to me a different directory might be more helpful (absent log files could be created by having the directory permissions. I'm also thinking in terms of log rotations, too ... and I prefer to do log rotations by date stamping rather than pushing sequence numbers (the legacy log rotation). Any chance there are %-style variables I can use in log file/path names to make log files automatically named by the date (and maybe time) ... kind of like in a shell script I would do: `date +/path/to/tree/%Y/%m/%d.log` or such.

[Dovecot] Thunderbird very slow startup, 1.2.11, mbox, postfix local delivery to /var/mail
by Stan Hoeppner 22 May '10

22 May '10

I've Google'd to exhaustion and can't seem to find an answer to my problem. I'm not sure if the problem is TBird 3 or my Dovecot setup. The basic problem is that when I launch TBird and it grabs messages upon startup, it takes forever to supposedly pull them down. Once it's got them they sort relatively quickly into the proper IMAP (dovecot) folders. I don't use sieve yet; I sort with TBird rules. I don't sync messages for offline use. The only thing TB stores locally is the index cache, which I deleted and had TB rebuild once, which didn't help. All that did was waste more time, as I've got 40,000 messages in my IMAP folders which had to be re-indexed by TB. (I save all list mail for future searching). As an example of this problem, I'd not checked my email for just over day, had ~300 messages waiting in /var/mail/stan. TBird starts pulling them from dovecot and says in the status bar "downloading x of ~300". As I watch the count tick up +10 at a whack, the TB process is pegged at 100%, there is zero network activity, and the imap process on the server shows zero cpu use. It took over 60 seconds to "pull" the messages, after which TB sorted them. During the apparent sorting process, there is quite a bit of network activity and the imap process on the server is relatively busy. I say "pull" in quotes because the entire time TB is saying it's pulling more messages there is no network activity. The client and server are plugged into the same 100BaseT FDX switch (FDX verified), and the server has zero load. I know TBird isn't the greatest IMAP client around, but I think taking over 60 seconds just to download ~300 messages is way too damn long given the hardware resources, network, and load on the client and server machines. TB basically seems to be pulling, or dovecot serving, only about 5 messages/sec over 100Mb ethernet, which is abysmal performance given neither the server nor client have any load. The messages are mostly list mail which are at max a few kilobytes each. I'm leaning toward a problem with TBird but I've been unable to find a bug report that covers this, nor a forum post anywhere, etc. The closest I've found for "slow startup" are recommendations to compact folders. I have no local folders to compact. I delete immediately and expunge on exit. Anyone have any ideas? Other than switching to LDA+sieve and have TB check the IMAP folders for new mail? -- Stan

[Dovecot] Dovecot and /dev/shm
by DJ GRP 22 May '10

22 May '10

Hi, I have tried to use /dev/shm for Dovecot's index files: > mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u:INDEX=/dev/shm/%u But it does not seem to like it. May 21 07:13:59 IMAP(user): Error: stat(/dev/shm/user/.imap/INBOX) failed: Permission denied (euid=1234(user) egid=500(group) missing +x perm: /dev/shm) It seems to me that /dev/shm permissions are OK. Any suggestions on how to achieve this?

[Dovecot] Patch for logging variables
by James Devine 20 May '10

20 May '10

Upon thinking, the variable names may not be descriptive enough as `host` is a bit ambiguous and `deleted_count` may refer to a different command than expunge in imap and may be valid to track at some point so I have changed `host` to `client_ip` and `deleted_count` in imap to `expunged_count`, below is the modified diff for version 1.2.11. diff -crB dovecot-1.2.11.orig/src/imap/client.c dovecot-1.2.11/src/imap/client.c *** dovecot-1.2.11.orig/src/imap/client.c 2010-01-24 16:14:17.000000000 -0700 --- dovecot-1.2.11/src/imap/client.c 2010-05-20 09:30:47.170407921 -0600 *************** *** 42,47 **** --- 42,48 ---- client->fd_out = fd_out; client->input = i_stream_create_fd(fd_in, imap_max_line_length, FALSE); client->output = o_stream_create_fd(fd_out, (size_t)-1, FALSE); + client->expunged = 0; o_stream_set_flush_callback(client->output, client_output, client); *************** *** 105,110 **** --- 106,113 ---- static struct var_expand_table static_tab[] = { { 'i', NULL, "input" }, { 'o', NULL, "output" }, + { 'c', NULL, "client_ip" }, + { 'e', NULL, "expunged_count" }, { '\0', NULL, NULL } }; struct var_expand_table *tab; *************** *** 115,120 **** --- 118,125 ---- tab[0].value = dec2str(client->input->v_offset); tab[1].value = dec2str(client->output->offset); + tab[2].value = getenv("IP") ? getenv("IP") : "Unknown"; + tab[3].value = dec2str(client->expunged); str = t_str_new(128); var_expand(str, logout_format, tab); diff -crB dovecot-1.2.11.orig/src/imap/client.h dovecot-1.2.11/src/imap/client.h *** dovecot-1.2.11.orig/src/imap/client.h 2009-06-26 22:49:34.000000000 -0600 --- dovecot-1.2.11/src/imap/client.h 2010-05-19 16:26:31.529833893 -0600 *************** *** 133,138 **** --- 133,139 ---- unsigned int destroyed:1; unsigned int handling_input:1; unsigned int syncing:1; + unsigned int expunged; unsigned int id_logged:1; unsigned int mailbox_examined:1; unsigned int input_skip_line:1; /* skip all the data until we've diff -crB dovecot-1.2.11.orig/src/imap/cmd-close.c dovecot-1.2.11/src/imap/cmd-close.c *** dovecot-1.2.11.orig/src/imap/cmd-close.c 2010-01-24 16:14:17.000000000 -0700 --- dovecot-1.2.11/src/imap/cmd-close.c 2010-05-19 16:26:31.529833893 -0600 *************** *** 18,24 **** client->mailbox = NULL; storage = mailbox_get_storage(mailbox); ! if ((ret = imap_expunge(mailbox, NULL)) < 0) client_send_untagged_storage_error(client, storage); if (mailbox_sync(mailbox, 0, 0, NULL) < 0) client_send_untagged_storage_error(client, storage); --- 18,24 ---- client->mailbox = NULL; storage = mailbox_get_storage(mailbox); ! if ((ret = imap_expunge(client, NULL)) < 0) client_send_untagged_storage_error(client, storage); if (mailbox_sync(mailbox, 0, 0, NULL) < 0) client_send_untagged_storage_error(client, storage); diff -crB dovecot-1.2.11.orig/src/imap/cmd-expunge.c dovecot-1.2.11/src/imap/cmd-expunge.c *** dovecot-1.2.11.orig/src/imap/cmd-expunge.c 2010-01-24 16:14:17.000000000 -0700 --- dovecot-1.2.11/src/imap/cmd-expunge.c 2010-05-19 16:26:31.529833893 -0600 *************** *** 24,30 **** { struct client *client = cmd->client; ! if (imap_expunge(client->mailbox, search_args == NULL ?

[Dovecot] Dovecot LDAP problems
by Adam Pardy 20 May '10

20 May '10

I'm currently trying to configure a linux mailserver running centos to use an xserve running snow leopard. I am configuring the mailserver to run dovecot,sendmail,clamav,spam assassin and squirrelmail so it matches those used by the mac. The problem I am having is that I cannot get the server to authenticate properly to the macs LDAP database. As far as I can tell it is either a problem authenticating passwords or username and passwords. mail.app says its the password it cant authenticate Thunderbird says it could be either. It seems to be a problem in dovecot-ldap.conf, (as I can run ldapsearch from the linux server authenticate correctly and gain user information) What I'd like to know is there a standard set of settings required to authenticate to the LDAP on the mac? I'm currently running the od with no requirements for Kerberos, SSL or anything else it can authenticate with plain passwords (it will be once it is implemented I'm trying to have as few variables as possible at the moment). Copy of dovecot-ldap.conf below; 1. This file is opened as root, so it should be owned by root and mode 0600. # 1. http://wiki.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/LDAP # 1. NOTE: If you're not using authentication binds, you'll need to give 2. dovecot-auth read access to userPassword field in the LDAP server. 3. With OpenLDAP this is done by modifying /etc/ldap/slapd.conf. There should 4. already be something like this: 1. access to attribute=userPassword 2. by dn="<dovecot's dn>" read # add this 3. by anonymous auth 4. by self write 5. by * none 1. Space separated list of LDAP hosts to use. host:port is allowed too. hosts =hostname.com 1. LDAP URIs to use. You can use this instead of hosts list. Note that this 2. setting isn't supported by all LDAP libraries. #uris = 1. Distinguished Name - the username used to login to the LDAP server dn= uid=wmuser,cn=#####,dc=##,dc=###########,dc=### 1. Password for LDAP server dnpass = password 1. Use SASL binding instead of the simple binding. Note that this changes 2. ldap_version automatically to be 3 if it's lower. Also note that SASL binds 3. and auth_bind=yes don't work together. #sasl_bind = no 1. SASL mechanism name to use. #sasl_mech = 1. SASL realm to use. #sasl_realm = 1. SASL authorization ID, ie. the dnpass is for this "master user", but the 2. dn is still the logged in user. Normally you want to keep this empty. #sasl_authz_id = 1. Use TLS to connect to the LDAP server. #tls = no 1. Use authentication binding for verifying password's validity. This works by 2. logging into LDAP server using the username and password given by client. 3. The pass_filter is used to find the DN for the user. Note that the pass_attrs 4. is still used, only the password field is ignored in it. Before doing any 5. search, the binding is switched back to the default DN. auth_bind = yes 1. If authentication binding is used, you can save one LDAP request per login 2. if users' DN can be specified with a common template. The template can use 3. the standard %variables (see user_filter). Note that you can't 4. use any pass_attrs if you use this setting. # 1. If you use this setting, it's a good idea to use a different 2. dovecot-ldap.conf for userdb (it can even be a symlink, just as long as the 3. filename is different in userdb's args). That way one connection is used only 4. for LDAP binds and another connection is used for user lookups. Otherwise 5. the binding is changed to the default DN before each user lookup. # 1. For example: auth_bind_userdn = cn=%u,cn=users,dc=##,dc=###########,dc=### # #auth_bind_userdn = 1. LDAP protocol version to use. Likely 2 or 3. ldap_version = 3 1. LDAP base. %variables can be used here. base = dc=##, dc=###########, dc=### 1. Dereference: never, searching, finding, always #deref = never 1. Search scope: base, onelevel, subtree #scope = subtree 1. User attributes are given in LDAP-name=dovecot-internal-name list. The 2. internal names are: 3. uid - System UID 4. gid - System GID 5. home - Home directory 6. mail - Mail location # 1. There are also other special fields which can be returned, see 2. http://wiki.dovecot.org/UserDatabase/ExtraFields user_attrs = homeDirectory=home,uidNumber=uid,gidNumber=gid 1. Filter for user lookup. Some variables can be used (see 2. http://wiki.dovecot.org/Variables for full list): 3. %u - username 4. %n - user part in user@domain, same as %u if there's no domain 5. %d - domain part in user@domain, empty if user there's no domain user_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%u)) 1. Password checking attributes: 2. user: Virtual user name (user@domain), if you wish to change the 3. user-given username to something else 4. password: Password, may optionally start with {type}, eg. {crypt} 5. There are also other special fields which can be returned, see 6. http://wiki.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase/ExtraFields pass_attrs = uid=user,userPassword=password 1. If you wish to avoid two LDAP lookups (passdb + userdb), you can use 2. userdb prefetch instead of userdb ldap in dovecot.conf. In that case you'll 3. also have to include user_attrs in pass_attrs field prefixed with "userdb_" 4. string. For example: #pass_attrs = uid=user,userPassword=password 1. Filter for password lookups pass_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%u)) 1. Default password scheme. "{scheme}" before password overrides this. 2. List of supported schemes is in: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Authentication default_pass_scheme = PLAIN 1. You can use same UID and GID for all user accounts if you really want to. 2. If the UID/GID is still found from LDAP reply, it overrides these values. #user_global_uid = #user_global_gid =

[Dovecot] LDAP against Novell eDirectory: 'Confidentiality required'
by Jim Moseby 20 May '10

20 May '10

Hi list! I am trying to get dovecot to authenticate users against Novell eDirectory via LDAP. I have successfully gotten open-xchange to authenticate, and I have written a PHP module that authenticates, however I cannot seem to get Dovecot working. If I turn on TLS and restart dovecot, I get: dovecot: 2010-05-20 09:22:05 Error: auth(default): LDAP: ldap_start_tls_s() failed: Connect error dovecot: 2010-05-20 09:22:05 Error: auth(default): LDAP: ldap_start_tls_s() failed: Local error If I turn it off, it starts without error, but returns this when a user tries to authenticate: dovecot: 2010-05-20 08:48:39 Error: auth(default): ldap(jkmoseby,127.0.0.1): ldap_bind() failed: Confidentiality required I have tried all combinations of host:port, and LDAP uri strings I can think of, nothing seems to work. Thanks in advance, config files follow.

[Dovecot] POP3 Problem with SPAM-Mail's over sieve
by Michael Niehren 20 May '10

20 May '10

Hi together, i am currently using dovecot 1.2.10 with the sieve-plugin and use a sieve-filter to sort the SPAM-Mail's directly into a Junk-Folder: require "fileinto"; # rule:[junkfilter] if header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" "YES" { fileinto "Junk"; } My problem is now, if i try to retrieve the Mails via POP3, i did not get the SPAM-Mail's in the Junk-Folder, only the normal ones, that are not filtered over the sieve plugin. Could anyone tell me how to solve that issue ? best regards Michael -- Michael Niehren __ _ powered by / / (_)__ __ ____ __ / /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / /____/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\

[Dovecot] Receive Mail via lmtp/tcp
by Denny Schierz 20 May '10

20 May '10

hi, we have IMAP and SMTP (sendmail(solaris)) on different hosts. Sendmail delivers Mails via LMTP to Cyrus and Cyrus puts the mails into the (hopefully) right box. Now I want to replace the Cyrus host with Dovecot. I've searched a bit in Google but there isn't much about LMTP via TCP in combination with DoveCot. Version 2 seems to be get the feature, but we have round about 5k users, so beta is no choice. Also I red something about maidag (mailutils from Gnu) that could do the Job, but maybe there is a better way. I do not want to install Postfix (or any other SMTP service) on that IMAP Server. So I'm asking is there anybody who has the same construct. Important is, that Quota full etc. messages (RFC) gets back to sendmail, so that the MTA reject the mails, before accepting. cu denny

I don't remember what the last conclusions were :) Anyway I'd probably accept patch to Dovecot, but maybe not yet advertise supporting SPECIAL-USE in capability. > > But the main thing I'm not sure about is where should the flag information be stored? Should it even be per-user option? If yes, should it maybe be combined with autocreate plugin? > Yeah advertise SPECIAL-USE before IANA registred keyword isn't good thing. I don't think this really need per-user option. This is basically "system folders" and MUA will decide on their local names. Combining with autocreate plugin seems reasonable.

[Dovecot] logging
by James Devine 20 May '10

20 May '10

I am looking through the logging options and wondering if there are a couple of things that we can do 1. Logouts don't seem to show the IP address of the logout, we typically see multiple sessions at a time and wondering if there is a way to tie the logouts to an IP 2. POP logouts show the number of messages retrieved/deleted but I don't see a way to do this with IMAP, is there a logout option for this with imap? Thanks
