[Dovecot] [checkpassword] I can't get a password from fd3
by Durk Strooisma 13 Jan '09

13 Jan '09

Hi all, I'm trying to implement checkpassword authentication with a simple bash script. In some way I can't get the password from file descriptor 3. The start of script looks like this: #!/bin/bash read -d '\0' -r -u 3 USERNAME="${REPLY}" read -d '\0' -r -u 3 PASSWORD="${REPLY}" if [ -z "${USERNAME}" ] || [ -z "${PASSWORD}" ] then exit 111 fi It always exits with 111, because PASSWORD is empty. In whatever way I try to retrieve data from fd3, I never happen to get more data than the username. Is this a known problem? Am I doing something silly? Replies are much appreciated! Durk FYI: GSSAPI auth works perfect and PAM worked before switching to checkpassword too.

[Dovecot] Error: sieve_execute_bytecode(/var/sieve/global.sievec) failed

I'm just getting familiar with Dovecot. I get this error when I send mail to a mailbox that is over quota. I have no problem with the way quota is working and I have no problem with the sieve script detecting spam and delivering it to the Spam folder. Just trying to figure out why I get this error when quota is involved: Error: sieve_execute_bytecode(/var/sieve/global.sievec) failed See logs at: http://www200.pair.com/mecham/spam/sieve-error.txt --------------------------------------- /var/sieve/global.sieve: require "fileinto"; if header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" "YES" { fileinto "Spam"; } --------------------------------------- # 1.1.8: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 i686 Debian 5.0 ext3 log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: imap imaps pop3 pop3s login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-login first_valid_uid: 6060 mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%n mail_debug: yes mail_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugins(default): autocreate quota imap_quota mail_plugins(imap): autocreate quota imap_quota mail_plugins(pop3): quota mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/pop3 auth default: mechanisms: plain login cram-md5 passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-crammd5.conf userdb: driver: passwd userdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 user: vmail plugin: quota: maildir:User quota autocreate: Spam autosubscribe: Spam --------------------------------------- driver = mysql connect = host=127.0.0.1 dbname=postfix user=postfix password=pfix_password default_pass_scheme = MD5-CRYPT password_query = SELECT password FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active = '1' user_query = SELECT CONCAT('/var/vmail/',maildir) AS home, 6060 AS uid, 6060 AS gid FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active = '1' --------------------------------------- Thanks much, -- Gary V

I have to migrate some old system to new one with installed dovecot (It's my first time using dovecot). I have all mails inside /var/spool/mail folder (mbox files). I can connect and receive mails via POP3, but problem is that dovecot doesn't clear mbox file (everytime when I make send/receive in mailclient program I get all mails again). If I look into log file I see (when I do send/receive in mail client program) Jan 11 21:09:12 ns1 dovecot: POP3(matej): Disconnected: Logged out top=0/0, retr=5/23934, del=5/5, size=23848 Here is output of dovecot -n # 1.1.6: /etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.27-desktop-0.rc8.2mnb i686 Mandriva Linux release 2009.0 (Official) for i586 protocols: imap imaps pop3 pop3s ssl_cert_file: /etc/pki/tls/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key_file: /etc/pki/tls/private/dovecot.pem disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-login mail_location: mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u mail_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/pop3 pop3_uidl_format(default): %08Xu%08Xv pop3_uidl_format(imap): %08Xu%08Xv pop3_uidl_format(pop3): %08Xv%08Xu auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd Thanks for help.

Dear all, I've been experiencing this problem and still can't find a solution for this. I want to have a dynamic quota for each virtual user.

[Dovecot] Deliver *sometimes* delivers via /tmp?
by Kim Bisgaard 12 Jan '09

12 Jan '09

Hi, I'm running dovecot (1.1.7) deliver and sieve (1.1.5) on a Fedora 9 platform, using selinux targetet mode. Most of the mail deliveries goes well, but once deliver tried to copy the mail to the /tmp directory, which it seems it not allowed by selinux. I guess that deliver wants to sanitize the mail or something and therefore copies it to /tmp. Before I ask for selinux to allow this, I would like to know why? It could also be an error, leading deliver into a seldom used piece of code? I order to get the mail delivered I put selinux into permissive mode, using: semanage permissive -a dovecot_deliver_t And then the mail is delivered - below are excerpts from different logs and I have *NOT* attached the message which could not get delivered - because of its size.

[Dovecot] 1.1.6 -> 1.1.7 regression: dovecot: pipe() failed: Too many open files
by Mark Zealey 12 Jan '09

12 Jan '09

Hi all, We updated to 1.1.7 a week or two back from 1.1.6 (both standard atrpms builds). Since doing so, twice now I've seen the imap services accept connections but they hang before the banner is printed (pop seems to be unaffected). I see this in the logs: Dec 23 14:02:15 mail9 dovecot: pipe() failed: Too many open files Dec 23 14:02:15 mail9 dovecot: Temporary failure in creating login processes, slowing down for now Dec 23 14:02:15 mail9 dovecot: Created login processes successfully, unstalling Dec 23 14:02:16 mail9 dovecot: pipe() failed: Too many open files Dec 23 14:02:16 mail9 dovecot: Temporary failure in creating login processes, slowing down for now Dec 23 14:02:16 mail9 dovecot: Created login processes successfully, unstalling The ulimit for the number of open files on these servers has remained unchanged at 8192 and there are no warnings about too few fd's on dovecot startup. There weren't amazing numbers of imap sessions open at the time (only something like 400-500; we've had 1.5k in the past), so I suspect this is a regression between 1.1.6 and 1.1.7 where you've got a leak of fd's ? If it happens again I'll try and get a snapshot of the fd's open by the master dovecot process.

[Dovecot] Bash script to mark all mail read in Maildir + Dovecot
by Andrew Oakley 12 Jan '09

12 Jan '09

Hi, I'm writing a script to mark all new mail read, including all mail in folders, for my system which uses Maildir and Dovecot. The reason for this script is that I use Google Mail at work, which forwards to my SMTP/IMAP system at home. When I've finished my last check of GMail at work, I want to be able to quickly mark all mail as read at home too. Basically this script moves everything from all /new/ directories to /cur/ directories and appends :2,S ("Seen" info status) to the filename. It seems to work, but I'm relatively new to IMAP and Maildir. Can anyone spot any potential problems? Thanks. ----cut here--- #!/bin/bash # markallread by Andrew Oakley www.aoakley.com Public Domain 2009-01-09 # A script to mark all MAILDIR mail as read, including folders # Assumes Dovecot folder naming dot prefix eg. ~/.maildir/.foldername # Loop through ~/.maildir/.foldername/new/ directories # This also does the ~/.maildir Inbox since it matches ~/.maildir/./new/ for i in `ls -1 ~/.maildir/.*/new/*` do # Replace /new/ with /cur/ # Also add status "seen" to message by appending :2,S to filename # as per http://cr.yp.to/proto/maildir.html mv $i `echo $i | sed -r "s/^(.*)\/new\/(.*)$/\1\/cur\/\2:2,S/"` done ----end cut here--- -- Andrew Oakley andrew(a)aoakley.com

[Dovecot] new flags in Maildir files
by Giuliano Gavazzi 11 Jan '09

11 Jan '09

Sorry if this is a dumb question: I migrated my third system from courier to dovecot. My previous two were MacOSX the third is FreeBSD 6. I noticed (because of an rsync process taking longer than usual...) that on FreeBSD the message files have, most of them at least, gained extra suffix letters (in the range a-h I'd say) that I do not see (mostly if not at all) on my MacOS systems. I wonder if this is because of a different migration process, as in the first two cases I wrongly run courier-dovecot-migrate.pl without the --convert option as I was satisfied that the OK result for all Mailboxes was enough... (no pop here), while on FreeBSD I correctly applied the --convert option. The other difference is the version, 1.1.6 for MacOSX, 1.1.7 for FreeBSD. Cannot find a relevant entryin the ChangeLog. (now running rsync with the --fuzzy option, hopefully it will find the files cutting on transfer times!) Thanks Giuliano

[Dovecot] download IMAP folders via POP3
by Jakob Grießmann 11 Jan '09

11 Jan '09

Hi, I know my question might sound a little bit strange, but is it possible to download IMAP folders via POP3? I have clients who use POP3 on their main machines and IMAP on their "on the road" notebooks. It would be good to download all folders created on the notebook via POP3 to the main desktop. Googling brought up some results, but I don't know how to implement... Thanks Jakob

[Dovecot] DC testing observation and a question
by Stewart Dean 10 Jan '09

10 Jan '09

I have been running a test DC IMAP server to evaluate the new release before migrating from 1.0.15 to 1.1.8. The test server access all the INBOX and homedir folder filesystems through NFS imports. The index file filesystem is local on both the production server and the test one.. This is messy in that when I ask some one tests using the test sever, the index has to be created or re-gennned, since the local index either doesn't exist or is several months old (from the last time a prospective upgrade was tested) and thus doesn't reflect data on the production DC IMAP server. 1) Watching the syslog maillog has been intriguing...different IMAP client show widely differently use patterns. a) Users running TBird and Seamonkey have 2-5 imap sessions (ps -aef | grep <userid>) *but* very little syslog activity...sparse occasional logins and disconnects b) Users running Exchange have only 1 imap sessions *but* every 5 minutes will generate login and disconnect messages (in and out in the space of a second) for each folders. So for a user with 22 folders, there will be 44 syslog messages in the maillog every 5 minutes. Just curious....any thought as to which is more efficient and by how much? 2) When I try to switch a MacMail client over, it sees the new mail, but not the old mail in the INBOX. How do I force re-indexing on the test server? -- ==== Once upon a time, the Internet was a friendly, neighbors-helping-neighbors small town, and no one locked their doors. Now it's like an apartment in Bed-Stuy: you need three heavy duty pick-proof locks, one of those braces that goes from the lock to the floor, and bars on the windows.... ==== Stewart Dean, Unix System Admin, Bard College, New York 12504 sdean(a)bard.edu voice: 845-758-7475, fax: 845-758-7035

[Dovecot] TLS timeout with 1.2a4
by Luigi Rosa 09 Jan '09

09 Jan '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have a mail server CentOS 64bit (4 Gb RAM) with Dovecot 1.2a4 and three accounts. I use Thunderbird 2. If I enable SSL connection in Thunderbird 2, after three-five minutes I got a lot of different errors in Thunderbird (Server is not IMAP, Connection lost...). Everything comes back to normal if I restart Dovecot in the server, but after 5 minutes I got the same errors. This happens both with an ADSL connection (Thunderbird on Windows XP) AND with a direct 1 Gbit cross cable connection (Thunderbird on Ubuntu 64 8.10). If I disable SSL connection on Thunderbird, everything comes back to normal and I don't get any error. The SSL-related options in dovecot.conf are: ssl_disable = no ssl_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key_file = /etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem ssl_parameters_regenerate = 47 verbose_ssl = yes ssl_cipher_list = ALL:!LOW disable_plaintext_auth = no What kind of logging can I enable to trace this error?

[Dovecot] Master user with "user="?
by Alan Ferrency 09 Jan '09

09 Jan '09

Hello, In our configuration, we are using a "passdb passwd-file", with "user=" directives in each username, and a separate "userdb passwd-file" which contains the target usernames for the "user=" directives. This works fine, for normal logins via POP and IMAP. For customer support testing purposes, we also set up a temporary "master=yes" passwd-file. This works fine, for any passdb username that does not have a "user=" field. However, it seems that if we use the master user to log into a username that is in the passdb with a "user=" field, dovecot looks in the userdb for the original username, and not for the "user=" username specified in the passdb passwd-file. Is this a known bug? Maybe I'm doing something wrong? Thanks! Alan Ferrency pair Networks, Inc. alan(a)pair.com

[Dovecot] Debian packages for dovecot 1.1.x
by Seth Mattinen 09 Jan '09

09 Jan '09

Because I'm tired of seeing Debian users look like idiots for using such horribly out of date versions just because they run "stable", I've set up a page with .deb packages of my 1.1.x rebuilds for use under lenny. http://www.rollernet.us/opensource/ Standard disclaimer applies: use at your own risk, no warranty, no support, if it eats your first born or erases your computer I don't want to hear about it. ;) -- Seth Mattinen sethm(a)rollernet.us Roller Network LLC

[Dovecot] Error: dict: Failed to initialize dictionary 'expire'
by LÉVAI Dániel 09 Jan '09

09 Jan '09

Hi! Using dovecot-1.1.17, and BDB-4.6.21. I'm having this error in every two weeks or so. I've running this in a crontab: /usr/local/sbin/dovecot --exec-mail \ ext /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/expire-tool The expire plugin and tool is working fine, the configuration is ok, and I'm using the BDB backend. What happens in every ~two weeks is dovecot starts to give me this error messages: Error: dict: db_env: Unable to allocate memory for transaction detail Error: dict: Failed to initialize dictionary 'expire' Reading thru Oracle's Berkeley DB FAQ: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/berkeley-db/faq/db_faq.html#28 "This error means the maximum number of active transactions configured for Berkeley DB has been reached [...] When all of the memory available in the database environment for transactions is in use, calls to being a transaction will fail until some active transactions complete. By default, the database environment is configured to support at least 20 active transactions." What could be happening here? Why coudn't it finish its transactions? After a dovecot restart it works fine :\ Thanks in advance for any hints. Daniel -- LEVAI Daniel PGP key ID = 0x4AC0A4B1 Key fingerprint = D037 03B9 C12D D338 4412 2D83 1373 917A 4AC0 A4B1

Hi, I compressed a folder with the following script: ... for i in *.*.*; do file $i | grep bzip2 >/dev/null 2>&1 if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then echo "Compress: $i" cat "$i" | bzip2 -9 > ../tmp/$i if [ $? -eq 0

[Dovecot] expire plugin with pgsql not working
by LÉVAI Dániel 09 Jan '09

09 Jan '09

Hi! I've configured dovecot, and created the db/table/trigger according to http://wiki.dovecot.org/Quota/Dict. I'm using dovecot-1.1.7 and pgsql. When moving a message inside the "monitored" directory, the expires table won't get updated because of an error: statement: INSERT INTO expires (expire_stamp, mailbox) VALUES ('1229993423', 'leva/spamassassin.SPAM') INSERT ERROR: null value in column "username" violates not-null constraint Wonder why doesn't dovecot pass the username too. What could be the problem? Daniel -- LEVAI Daniel PGP key ID = 0x4AC0A4B1 Key fingerprint = D037 03B9 C12D D338 4412 2D83 1373 917A 4AC0 A4B1
