[Dovecot] passdb/userdb restart
by Thomas Hummel 09 Aug '07

09 Aug '07

Hello Timo, I've noticed that when slapd which I'm using as the passdb and the prefetched userdb is restarted I have to restart dovecot. As a matter of fact, if I don't, I get the following error : -- Jul 2 16:38:39 xxxx dovecot: imap-login: Internal login failure: user=<xxxx>, method=PLAIN, rip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, lip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, TLS Jul 2 16:38:46 xxxx dovecot: auth(default): prefetch(xxx,xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx): passdb didn't return userdb entries Jul 2 16:38:46 xxxx dovecot: auth(default): userdb(xxx,xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx): user not found from userdb -- I'm using dovecot-1.0.1 on FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE with openldap-server-2.3.35_1 (bdb backend). Would some cache-related parameters allow to fix that or will restarting dovecot be always mandatory after an ldap restart ? Thanks. -- Thomas Hummel | Institut Pasteur <hummel(a)pasteur.fr> | Pôle informatique - systèmes et réseau

[Dovecot] 1.1.alpha2 error in logs
by Mike Cisar 09 Aug '07

09 Aug '07

Did a quick-n-dirty install of 1.1.alpha2 on a Fedora Core 6 server... am getting the following message in the maillog, though there seems to be no problem accessing mail. Error seems to be consistent for all users. Running 1.0.3 on the system previously. Aug 8 22:49:26 stage2 dovecot: IMAP(testuser): mkdir(/var/spool/vmail/192.168.0.199/.imap/testuser) failed: Permission denied This is what I'm using for my env in dovecot.conf... default_mail_env = mbox:/vhome/%l/home/%n/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/vmail/%l/%n And here's what we have in the user's mail directory (from before)... /vhome/192.168.0.199/home/testuser/mail/.imap/Deleted Items /vhome/192.168.0.199/home/testuser/mail/.imap/Deleted Items/dovecot.index /vhome/192.168.0.199/home/testuser/mail/.imap/Deleted Items/dovecot.index.cache /vhome/192.168.0.199/home/testuser/mail/.imap/Deleted Items/dovecot.index.log /vhome/192.168.0.199/home/testuser/mail/.imap/INBOX /vhome/192.168.0.199/home/testuser/mail/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index /vhome/192.168.0.199/home/testuser/mail/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.cache /vhome/192.168.0.199/home/testuser/mail/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.log /vhome/192.168.0.199/home/testuser/mail/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.log.2 /vhome/192.168.0.199/home/testuser/mail/.imap/sent-mail /vhome/192.168.0.199/home/testuser/mail/.imap/sent-mail/dovecot.index /vhome/192.168.0.199/home/testuser/mail/.imap/sent-mail/dovecot.index.cache /vhome/192.168.0.199/home/testuser/mail/.imap/sent-mail/dovecot.index.log I'm assuming that it's trying to create a folder for the user's INBOX index, but it's trying to create it in the mail spool directory rather than in /vhome/192.168.0.199/home/testuser/mail/.imap/INBOX as previously? Thoughts, comments, something I need to modify in my config? Cheers, >>>>> Mike <<<<<

[Dovecot] lda: vacation auto-reply for a virtual address
by martin f krafft 09 Aug '07

09 Aug '07

Hi, I am using Dovecot to manage a complex virtual mailbox setup. It's all working splendidly, thanks to the Dovecot LDA. This morning, however, I needed to create a vacation-style autoreply for one of the virtual addresses. I made use of cmusieve, authored a little sieve script, and had it working in no time... until I discovered how limited sieve's vacation module is. Most importantly: it's hardcoded to use the Return-Path of a message, but in this very case, I need to actually use the address in the from header. So I had to give up on sieve and am now looking for another solution, but without much success. Given that mail is delivered by the Dovecot LDA, is there any way to make deliver pass it off to e.g. procmail in such a way that $HOME is set to /srv/vmail/domain.org/localpart, so that procmail can find the .procmailrc? Cheers, -- martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:" net@madduck "we are trapped in the belly of this horrible machine, and the machine is bleeding to death." -- godspeed you black emperor! spamtraps: madduck.bogus(a)madduck.net

[Dovecot] LDAP and (py|cmu)sieve
by Thibault VINCENT 09 Aug '07

09 Aug '07

Hello, Before asking help, i would like thank Timo for this awesome server, it's lite, fast, and has good features. I've read the Wiki, tutorials, and tried various configurations to get the result I expect. My company is running a dovecot 1.0.0 server set up with an LDAP directory, mails are delivered to /var/spool/imap and users do not have a real unix home directory on this system. During my internship, I've installed a sieve server (pysieved) that is working with dovecot. But I encountered a problem with the LDAP setup. Pysieved is using dovecot's auth and client sockets to authenticate the user and get it's home directory where it will store sieve scripts, this home directory is also actually used by cmusieve. With our setup, users do not have /home directories on the mail server but the homeDirectory LDAP attribute is used by other services and cannot be modified for dovecot. I know we have the option to create a new attribute, set it to something like /var/spool/imap/<user> for every mail users, and use this new attribute name in dovecot-ldap.conf with the user_db statement. This is actually working on a test environnement, but we wish we could do it without any modification on the LDAP directory. The very precise question is : How can I tell dovecot to compute the « home » path from the login name when using LDAP userdb ? By example, if a user has login name "jdoe", dovecot will authenticate him against the LDAP directory but won't get the home path from it. Instead, it will use the same mail_location path (if possible) or something similar, like /var/spool/imap/%1u/%u . Can I do this without any modification of the source code of both dovecot and pysieved ? Thank you, -- Thibault VINCENT tibal(a)reloaded.fr thibault.vincent(a)reloaded.fr PGP Key : 0x4BA8A39B

[Dovecot] HP-UX troubles
by Matthias Luehr 09 Aug '07

09 Aug '07

Hi there, I got dovecot compiled and running on HP-UX 11.23. It's using LDAPUX and PAM for authentication. So far, it works. But after logging in the connection is closed immediately. It looks like this: telnet <ip> 143 Connected to ... Escape character is '^]'. * OK Dovecot ready. a01 login <user> <pass> Connection closed by foreign host. The dovecot log says: Error: imap-login: fd_send(7) failed: Bad file number Error: child 22629 (login) returned error 89 As far as I can see, the problem seems to reside in dovecot's fdpass.c... dovecot version: 1.0.3 gcc version: 2.9 Any ideas or solutions? Thanks in advance, Matthias

[Dovecot] UIDL match from 0.99.13 to 1.0-1.2
by Daniel Davidson 09 Aug '07

09 Aug '07

I am moving from and old FC2 system to a new RHEL5 system and am having trouble getting the UIDLs to move over right, mainly the UID. I copy over the mailbox, and see the x-uid in the message is what it was on the old server, but when I telnet in to check pop, it rewrites x-uid in the message to something new, causing old messages to get downloaded again, which is not what we want I have tried setting pop3_reuse_xuidl to yes, but that did not change anything, probably because that is the wrong header (I do not have x-uidl, but I do have x-uid). I do have pop3_uidl_format set to %v.%u for compatibility. On the old system the first five are: +OK Logged in. uidl +OK 1 1095087961.3092736 2 1095087961.3092737 3 1095087961.3092738 4 1095087961.3092739 5 1095087961.3092740 On the new system the first five are: +OK Logged in. uidl +OK 1 1095087961.3093018 2 1095087961.3093155 3 1095087961.3093156 4 1095087961.3093157 5 1095087961.3093158 Any help would be appreciated, I do not understand how it is generating the UID portion.

[Dovecot] Userdb and home directories
by Mike Brudenell 09 Aug '07

09 Aug '07

Greetings - I've just discovered an oddity I didn't know I had... We have two NetApp filers: one serves people's home directories; the other their message store and control files filestores. At the moment the first of the two filers is not accessible to my Dovecot system and I assumed all would be well because, as far as I knew, I wasn't using it at all. However in practice Dovecot DOES appear to be using it: it is trying to chdir() to my home directory when I login, finds it can't at the moment (because of a problem giving "Permission denied"), and closes the connection. I've read the pages on home directories and the userdb on the Wiki and it advises that having a home directory is beneficial. I'm happy to create a subdirectory for this within a user's control files directory, but do NOT want it on our normal filestore: we can't have mail inaccessible because a user's home directory is inaccessible because the other filer is out of action. We use shadow for the passdb and passwd for the userdb (see dovecot - n output below). I'm trying to work out how to override the home directory returned from NIS. Ultimately I'd like to use this template: /mailstore/control/%1Ln/%Ln/home but for the time being while I'm trying to work out how to do it have my own area hard-coded in (as it's only me logging in to the test system): /mailstore/control/p/pmb1/home I'm specifying this with the "args" directive in the userdb section as follows: args = home=/mailstore/control/p/pmb1/home but it isn't being picked up. What am I doing wrong, please? (We want to continue using uids and gids etc from NIS so I don't think using the static userdb is the right thing to do?)

[Dovecot] dovecot-sieve vacation changes
by pod 09 Aug '07

09 Aug '07

I'd like to put forward the following patch for dovecot-sieve. Essentially this just merges in some changes made in CMU sieve 2.3.8 and as such brings the behaviour more in line with RFC 3834 "Recommendations for Automatic Responses to Electronic Mail": - fixes erroneous sender "-request" substring match - checks for existence of a selection of list-* headers - expands "named-as-recipient" header checks to "Resent-To", "Resent-CC" and "Resent-BCC" fields. Note that the appended patch also includes a fix for some missing parentheses in the "resent-to" test which resulted in some extra work being done but was otherwise harmless. The fix has been sent to <cyrus-bugs+(a)andrew.cmu.edu> - prefixes subject in response with "Auto: " rather than (non-expanding) "Re: " I also, mostly for kicks, attach two sieve-like scripts that attempt to encapsulate the when-not-to-respond logic as implemented (if the patch were to be applied) and as advised by RFC 3834 respectively. I wrote these as an exercise to help me gain a better understanding of sieve and the CMU implementation. I'm not sure they are otherwise useful.

[Dovecot] NFS rquota support
by Timo Sirainen 09 Aug '07

09 Aug '07

For v1.1, probably applies to v1.0 code pretty easily too: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot/rev/078d9dde99c8 The other rquota patches had authunix_create_default() call. Is this needed/useful? The client is now always created+destroyed for each quota lookup. I'd think it would be faster if it was created only once, but does it then break something? If the above isn't done, clnt_create() could be replaced with clntudp_create() and have the struct sockaddr_in cached. Patches welcome. :)

[Dovecot] Shared folder hierarchies, multiple groups
by Benjamin R. Haskell 09 Aug '07

09 Aug '07

Hi, I'm trying to set up two shared folder hierarchies on my Dovecot installation for two groups of employees, all of whom should only have access to their own hierarchy. Any employee should be able to create sub-folders and generally have full access to the hierarchy. My initial setup was to create two public namespaces, Shared-One and Shared-Two. Each is a Maildir under /var/mail. The actual shared folders seem to be working fine in terms of adding and accessing folders and messages, and there are no problems at all for the 'admin' user, who belongs to both the shared1 and shared2 Unix groups. The problem is for other users, where trying to (IMAP-) LIST folders fails. (sanitized) IMAP session log: ('user2' is in group shared2) * OK Dovecot ready. A LOGIN user2 pass A OK Logged in. B LIST "" "%" * LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "/" "Shared-One" B NO Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. [2007-08-02 09:01:23] In the mail logs I find: dovecot: IMAP(user2): stat(/var/mail/Shared-One/cur) failed: Permission denied Relevant permissions: 2770/drwxrws--- shared1 shared1 /var/mail/Shared-One 2770/drwxrws--- shared1 shared1 /var/mail/Shared-One/cur 0660/-rw-rw---- shared1 shared1 /var/mail/Shared-One/dovecot-shared And similarly for Shared-Two. (replace shared1 with shared2 everywhere) Among other things, I've read: http://wiki.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes http://wiki.dovecot.org/ACL http://wiki.dovecot.org/MainConfig http://wiki.dovecot.org/Namespaces I don't want to use vfile ACL's (I think) because I want users to be able to create subfolders at will, and I don't want to have to add a dovecot-acl file per-folder. (Is there a way to set global defaults on a global basis? [not per-folder]) I also think there would be a problem with the hierarchies being similar. (e.g. both have a 'Projects' sub-folder, but there's a pretty clear WARNING on the wiki about mailbox name conflicts.) I can't use symlinked Maildirs, because new subfolders get created under ~user/Maildir/. (Want them under /var/mail/Shared-X/) I can't use hidden namespaces, because employees use Outlook (uggh), and I couldn't figure out how to "find" the namespace when it was hidden. (That seemed like the closest thing to a solution - it solved the LIST problem.) Ideally, Shared-Two wouldn't even be visible to members of Shared-One, and vice versa. But, that's at least an acceptable "problem" I could live with. Any suggestions? Thanks, Ben

[Dovecot] Bug in Exim->Dovecot auth

Hi. I'm using SMTP auth with Exim authenticating against Dovecot's auth socket. My (excellent) SMTP test tool "swaks" (http://jetmore.org/john/code/#swaks) tries multiple auth mechanismus consecutively which leads to the following message in Dovecot's log file: Error: auth(default): BUG: Authentication client gave a PID 6738 of existing connection I'm not sure where to report this bug, exim's or dovecot's mailing list, so I'll try here first :) Chris <- 250-AUTH PLAIN LOGIN <- 250 HELP -> AUTH PLAIN AHh5egBra2s= <** 535 Incorrect authentication data -> AUTH LOGIN <** 435 Unable to authenticate at present *** No authentication type succeeded -> QUIT

[Dovecot] Authentication problem - or is it?
by Anne Wilson 09 Aug '07

09 Aug '07

My old server ran v.0.99, and this is the first time I've tried to get v.1 running. When I try to test it with telnet I see telnet localhost 143 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to david.lydgate.lan (127.0.0.1). Escape character is '^]'. * OK Dovecot ready. x login anne xxxxxx x OK Logged in. Connection closed by foreign host. I assumed it was an authentication problem (I want to use /etc/passwd as the authentication file) but it does say that I managed to log in. If so, what could be causing it to close immediately? Anne

[Dovecot] v1.1.alpha2 released
by Timo Sirainen 09 Aug '07

09 Aug '07

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/alpha/dovecot-1.1.alpha2.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/alpha/dovecot-1.1.alpha2.tar.gz.sig Hopefully the next release can be v1.1.beta1. I'm not aware of any major problems and I think I'm pretty much done with new features (except for dbox). The largest changes since alpha1: * Removed THREAD indexing. It's a bit buggy and I think there's a better chance of releasing a bugfree v1.1 soon if it's not included. I'll fix it after v1.1. * Removed THREAD=X-REFERENCES2 also because it wasn't as easy to implement with the old threading code. I might put this back though if there's enough interest. * PAM always works in blocking=yes mode now. If you have problems with memory leaks, change auth_worker_max_request_count setting. + Filesystem quota backend supports inode limits, group quota and RPC quota for NFS. + SEARCH and SORT finally compare all characters case-insensitively. We use i;unicode-casemap algorithm. + Config files support splitting values to multiple lines with \ + Winbind NTLM and GSS-SPNEGO mechanism patches by Dmitry Butskoy.

[Dovecot] Not seeing other folders with some clients

Hi, With dovecot 1.0.2, depending on the client I can only see inbox, or all the folders. I see all the folders with pine and balsa, but can see only the inbox with squirel mail and thunderbird. Any idea what's going on here ? Thanks. Yves. ---- Yves Dorfsman yves(a)zioup.com http://www.SollerS.ca

[Dovecot] BUG (and suggested fix) in maildir code
by Tom Vajzovic 08 Aug '07

08 Aug '07

Hi all I'm using dovecot 1.0.rc15 to serve a maildir by IMAP. I have an IMAP subdirectory called subscriptions. The messages are in maidir/.subscriptions/cur/ etc. Dovecot is renaming the directory .subscriptions/ to subscriptions/ This means that when my IMAP client requests this directory, it gets the message "no such directory", and dovecot also gives the error message: dovecot: IMAP(tcv): read() failed with subscription file /var/mail/maildir/tcv/subscriptions: Is a directory The two should be able to live happily side by side, with the subscriptions file called "subscriptions" and the maildir called ".subsciptions". The offending function is maildir_subscriptions_convert_099() in src/lib-storage/index/maildir/maildir-storage.c Can someone with developer access please change this so that rename() is not called if subscriptions is a directory. Thanks, Tom

[Dovecot] dovecot.conf an <TAB> chars
by Sascha Holzleiter 08 Aug '07

08 Aug '07

Hi, I just wanted to "beautify" my dovecot configuration file and as one of the first comments suggests whitespaces and <TAB> should be completly ignored but that doesn't seem to be the case, e.g.: postmaster_address<TAB>= some(a)address.de results in an configuration error as the postmaster_address is not set. Using just a space or replacing the <TAB> char with space chars resolves the problem. This is with dovecot version 1.0.3 on Debian and FreeBSD. Greetings, Sascha

[Dovecot] OpenBSD and too many open files
by Bryan Vyhmeister 07 Aug '07

I posted some questions a few months back and received lots of great help in getting my dovecot/postfix/LDAP setup working. Initially, I ran into the pipe failed too many open files error. I am running this setup on OpenBSD/sparc64 4.1-stable and so I put dovecot in its own class and upped the maxfiles setting for that class. This was back with dovecot 1.0 and everything worked fine. I just recently upgraded to dovecot 1.0.2 from ports and now I am having the same problems again. I moved kern.maxfiles for that class from 2048 up to 3404 and yet I still run into the error. When I do, I have to restart dovecot to get things running again. Output of: su -c dovecot root -c 'ulimit -a' time(cpu-seconds) unlimited file(blocks) unlimited coredump(blocks) unlimited data(kbytes) 1048576 stack(kbytes) 8192 lockedmem(kbytes) 634482 memory(kbytes) 1898080 nofiles(descriptors) 3404 processes 1044 sysctl kern.maxfiles gives: kern.maxfiles=3404 My main IMAP accounts reside on this server and I have somewhere in the 25000 range of stored messages. Could this be causing the issue? I only have maybe a dozen other users using this server right now but I am planning on putting 500 users on it soon. I added another heavy IMAP user shortly before these problems started but I don't know if that has anything to do with it or not. Likewise, I am not sure if the dovecot 1.0.2 upgrade had any effect either although it did coincide. Any ideas? Thank you. Bryan
