[Dovecot] Multiple SSL certificates with dovecot.
by Andre Rodier 10 Jun '08

10 Jun '08

Hello all, By advance, I hope you'll excuse my probably not perfect English, which is not my mother tongue. I have always appreciated dovecot for this simplicity to setup and lightweight, but today, after many installations, I cannot find how to setup dovecot for my configuration. - I use only IMAPS to retrieve the mails. - I manage two domain names - I use CA-Cert certificates So,the question is : how to setup dovecot to select the appropriate certificate, according to the domain name I use when I retrieve mails using the IMAPS protocol ? Thanks. Andre Rodier.

[Dovecot] inetd & corrupt environment
by Gelu G. Lupas 09 Jun '08

09 Jun '08

Hello. I'm having the following problem with dovecot 1.0.12 and above, on a FreeBSD 7.0 system - I'm trying to run pop3-login from inetd and I keep getting this error after authentication: May 25 09:46:19 charlie dovecot: POP3(gelu): /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: environment corrupt; missing value for no-nuls oe-ns-eoh The problem persists if I uncomment the lines with no-nuls oe-ns-eoh in dovecot.conf. I've also tried running pop3-login from tcpserver/ucspi-tcp and I still get the same error. Version 1.0.1 works fine on a similar setup. Please reply if you have any idea regarding a fix for this error. I need to run dovecot under a tcp wrapper of some kind (preferably inetd) as the standalone daemon doesn't allow any method to restrict access by IP. The allow_nets extra field doesn't help much as I'm using PAM and do not want to maintain yet another passdb. Restricting access via firewall rules is not an option. Until I find a way to restrict access by IP address, dovecot will only listen on the private IP address (192.168.100.1). My dovecot configuration follows: # 1.0.13: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/ protocols: pop3 listen: 192.168.100.1 ssl_cipher_list: ALL:!LOW disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login login_greeting: login_process_size: 32 login_max_processes_count: 32 login_max_connections: 128 max_mail_processes: 128 verbose_proctitle: yes first_valid_uid: 1000 mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: mbox:~/Mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u mail_executable: /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3 pop3_uidl_format: %08Xu%08Xv pop3_client_workarounds: outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh auth default: mechanisms: plain login process_size: 64 passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Finally - A spam blocker that actually works. http://www.bluebottle.com/tag/4

[Dovecot] EXPUNGE delay
by Eugene 09 Jun '08

09 Jun '08

Hi people! I just switched one of my servers from Courier to Dovecot. Planned to do it anyway but had to do it faster after the discovery that courier [the version I had installed, at least] returns malformed headers for a few messages, causing Outlook Express to completely ignore them. Curiously, they were visible in Squirrelmail and Nokia Series60 e-mail client. Overal I am quite happy but have one little problem. More often than not, I have to press 'Purge' button two or more times in order to actually remove the deleted messages. The fragment of Outlook's IMAP log is below. Interestingly, Dovecot 1.0.7 (on another server) does not have such problem.

Hi I use deliver with an auth socket I have 2 namespaces (which isn't relevant here, but anyway) namespace private { separator = / prefix = location = maildir:/var/spool/mail/%1n/%2n/%n inbox = YES #hidden = yes } namespace private { separator = / prefix = mail/ location = mbox:/home/%1n/%n/mail inbox = no hidden = no } and also an general mail_location mail_location = maildir:/var/spool/mail/%1n/%2n/%n with deliver 1.0 branch everything works fine with latest deliver 1.1rc8 I get Jun 5 13:32:18 xxx deliver(<username>): mkdir(/var/spool/mail/%1n/%2n/%n/.SPAM/cur) failed: Permission denied looks like arguments don't get resolved kind regards Arne

[Dovecot] v1.1.rc9 released
by Timo Sirainen 09 Jun '08

09 Jun '08

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/rc/dovecot-1.1.rc9.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/rc/dovecot-1.1.rc9.tar.gz.sig Not many bug reports these last few days, so maybe this release will be a good one. + Maildir: When hardlink-copying a file, copy the W=<vsize> in the filename if it exists in the original filename. - mbox: With rc8 empty lines were inserted in the middle of saved mails' headers. - maildir: Fixed problems with opening newly saved messages which we saw in index file but couldn't see in dovecot-uidlist. Happened only when messages weren't saved via Dovecot (deliver or IMAP). - Several bugfixes to handling sort indexes - deliver: Boolean settings that were supposed to default to "yes" were set to "no" unless explicitly defined in dovecot.conf: dotlock_use_excl, maildir_copy_with_hardlinks, mbox_dirty_syncs, mbox_lazy_writes.

Hi, I found a typo on line 101 of dovecot-1.1.rc8/src/lib/failures.c. The first two arguments to io_add() are reversed. The fd should be first, and IO_WRITE second.

[Dovecot] assertion after upgrading to 1.1rc7 from 1.1rc3

Hi, I'm getting this assertion after making an upgrade from 1.1rc3 to 1.1rc7. Deleting the index files solves the problem.

[Dovecot] question: auth_bind and userdb
by Matthias Šubik 07 Jun '08

07 Jun '08

Hi, this is my first post to the list, I'm not a member, please cc me directly. I'm converting from courier imap, and want to bring a special problem to your attention: I would like to use auth_bind and prefetch, b/c due to data security restriction the user information is only visible to the user himself. From http://wiki.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/LDAP I found out that pass_attrs only works if no userdn template is set. But when unsetting userdn, dovecot-auth still tries to find the information from pass_attrs before binding. I'm no coding expert so here is my question: would it be possible to make pass_attrs work with userdn? If yes, even prefetch would work. right now, when using userdn, pass_attrs is ignored, but also userdb and user_attrs is impossible for me, because it is done anonymously, it can't reuse the bind from passdb, and can't construct a bind as passdb could. for now I defined a dummy user in ldap, but that's not the ideal solution, since then this dummy user has access to all usernames, uids, uidNumbers and gidNumbers. thank you for your attention best regards matthias subik ps: is there a list of all keywords and parameters?

[Dovecot] quotactl bug?
by JOHN ROMAN 05 Jun '08

more on the strange quota error....this is in BSD, with quotas referenced on an NFS, and users provided by YP/NIS quotactl(Q_GETQUOTA, /.amd_mnt/crock/vol/v_user1/jdoe) failed: Operation not supported this looks strange to me, as the specification for quotactl states the function Q_GETQUOTA: Q_GETQUOTA Get disk quota limits and current usage for the user or group (as determined by the command type) with identifier id. The addr argument is a pointer to a struct dqblk structure (defined in <ufs/ufs/quota.h>). this directory path is not a valid UID...rather, its my user home directory path!

[Dovecot] v1.1.rc8 released
by Timo Sirainen 05 Jun '08

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/rc/dovecot-1.1.rc8.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/rc/dovecot-1.1.rc8.tar.gz.sig I then decided to add the deliver -c feature to this release. Seems to work in my tests, but who knows if it breaks something.. Although most of the code is called only if -c parameter is given. Anyway we really should have a comprehensive test suite written some day (yes, help is really wanted for this :). So let's hope this is the last RC release. If there aren't any major problems I'll release v1.1.0 in a couple of weeks. I'll also try to merge all my different development trees into a single v1.2 code tree within a few weeks. v1.2.0 will probably be released this summer as well, since it mainly has new features that don't change existing code all that much (CONDSTORE is a bit invasive though). + deliver: Added -c parameter to provide path to delivered mail. This allows maildir to save identical mails to multiple recipients using hard links. - rc6/rc7 broke POP3 with non-Maildir formats - mbox: Saving a message without a body or the end-of-headers line could have caused an assert-crash later. - Several dbox fixes

[Dovecot] Get the size of a maildir
by Nicolas Letellier 05 Jun '08

05 Jun '08

Hello. I would like to know it a 'proper' solution exist to get the size (in MB) of a maildir. Actually, to get it, I do a 'du -sh' but I'm not sure it is a good solution. And it does not return the same value than imap-quota. Is there a command, a tool, in Dovecot to get it? There is the maildirsize but it's very difficult to get the value with a script shell and with this file. Thanks for your help. Best regards, -- - Nicolas.

[Dovecot] FreeBSD port for 1.1, some bits more...
by Geoffroy DESVERNAY 04 Jun '08

04 Jun '08

I did (re-)compile dovecot (1.1rc8) today, with managesieve (0.10.2) and sieve-plugin (1.1.5). I did modify the existing dovecot-devel port, adding managesieve patch as an OPTION, and I added a 'dovecot-managesieve-devel' port, and a 'dovecot-sieve-devel' one to be complete... Not sure everything is very complete, but at least it works for me=E2=84=A2= , and if it can help anybody to save some time... The tree ports are there: http://dgeo.perso.ec-marseille.fr/dovecot Not sure I used the very good way of building FreeBSD ports...

[Dovecot] Re maintenance of the dovecot-uidlist files
by Dann Daggett 04 Jun '08

04 Jun '08

Greetings all, I am new to dovecot, using ver 1.0.13 and IMAP with ~/Maildir delivery. I have noticed that the entries in the dovecot-uidlist files don't seem to get updated when an email is deleted or moved to .Trash. It appears that this list list would just keep growing over time, being full of no longer used filenames, and must tend to increase its processing overhead. I have also noticed that if I manually delete that file and the 3 other dovecot* files, that it gets rebuilt with only what's present. Is there provision in the dovecot code to automatically clean this up periodically? If so, are there any configuration params for it? If not, what is the preferred method for maintenance in this regard? Thank you, Dan

[Dovecot] Error using antispam plugin
by Juan Asensio Sánchez 03 Jun '08

03 Jun '08

Hi When activating antispam plugin in imap protocol, when sending an email, Evolution/Thunderbirdkeeps infinitely "Sending authentication information", and Dovecor logs shows "dovecot: May 28 10:14:35 Error: child 6910 (imap) killed with signal 11"; lots of empty folders in /tmp are created with names like "antispam-mail-ZvyWeZ". I am using Dovecot1.1 rc15 compiled from Debian source repositories (http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/) and last version of antispam plugin, obtained with git. Any idea or help to debug? Thanks.

[Dovecot] v1.0.14 released
by Timo Sirainen 03 Jun '08

03 Jun '08

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.0/dovecot-1.0.14.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.0/dovecot-1.0.14.tar.gz.sig Since v1.1.0 release is getting near, this could well be the last v1.0 release. I'll still fix important bugs, but if the bugfix is large or affects only few people it'll probably get fixed only in v1.1 releases. * mbox: Enable mail_privileged_group while creating INBOX. - IMAP: Fixed a rare crash in FETCH BODY/BODYSTRUCTURE - IMAP: If mailbox is selected with EXAMINE, ignore flag changes - proxy: Login success reply was sent in two IP packets, which confused some IMAP/POP3 clients - ACL plugin leaked memory a bit - dovecot-auth: allow_nets setting with network masks didn't work correctly with big endian machines.
