[Dovecot] cross compiling dovecot
by Martin Höfling 29 Dec '06

29 Dec '06

I have the problem that configure can't run the binaries, due to crosscompiling. How can you solve these issues with ./configure? checking whether size_t is signed... configure: error: cannot run test program while cross compiling See `config.log' for more details. I configure with a mipsel cross compiler. Cheers Martin

[Dovecot] Correct naming scheme for dovecot / squirrelmail subfolders?
by M. Fioretti 28 Dec '06

28 Dec '06

Hello, I am running dovecot 1.0-0_34.rc15 and squirrelmail 1.4.8-2 on a Centos 4 server. Right now all messages are delivered to maildir /var/mail/vhosts/virtual_mail_root/, which has its cur, tmp, new subdirectories. I need to (re) configure postfix, dovecot and squirrelmail so that email is filtered and dovecot serves different boxes to squirrelmail, that is when I log in in squirrelmail I see: Inbox work (5) friends (6) lists (35) Sent Trash Spam that is every subfolder listed under Inbox with the number of unread messages. Now, I do know how to filter incoming email in different folders with postfix. The part still missing, in spite of several online searches, is the correct _naming_ and nesting of all the new mailboxes. In other words, if now everything goes into /var/mail/vhosts/virtual_mail_root/ : 1) what is the currect _name_ to give to the future "work" inbox ?? /var/mail/vhosts/virtual_mail_root/work/ /var/mail/vhosts/virtual_mail_root/INBOX.work/ what else? 2) which parameters must be changed and how in dovecot and/or squirrelmail (or any IMAP client in my home PC) so that folders are recognized and displayed as I wish?

[Dovecot] Dovecot + Outlook express + permission denied
by Nagy László 28 Dec '06

28 Dec '06

Hello, I have an account (called awesome) that does not have access to some public shared folders. I can use this account from Mozilla Thunderbird, but I cannot use it from Outlook. I opened /var/log/maillog. When I try to list all folders, I get this in the log: Dec 28 09:57:38 designaproduct dovecot: IMAP(awesome): opendir(/var/mail/public) failed: Permission denied However, outlook displays three folders: Inbox, Public and Trash. It says "One or more problems occured downloading your list of folder from your account." That is fine, except that not all folders are listed. (There are others: "Contact", "Calendar" and "ShopzeusArchive".) Then I subscribe to "Inbox" and "Trash". I DO NOT subscribe to "Public", because the account has no access to "Public". Then I click on "Inbox" (inside outlook) and I get this very long text: Dec 28 09:57:54 designaproduct dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<awesome>, method=PLAIN, rip=62.112.202.90, lip=195.228.74.135, TLS Dec 28 09:57:54 designaproduct dovecot: IMAP(awesome): Effective uid=1029, gid=1003 Dec 28 09:57:54 designaproduct dovecot: IMAP(awesome): Namespace: type=private, prefix=#mbox/, sep=/, inbox=yes, hidden=yes, subscriptions=no Dec 28 09:57:54 designaproduct dovecot: IMAP(awesome): mbox: data=/home/awesome/:INBOX=/var/mail/awesome Dec 28 09:57:54 designaproduct dovecot: IMAP(awesome): mbox: root=/home/awesome, index=/home/awesome, inbox=/var/mail/awesome Dec 28 09:57:54 designaproduct dovecot: IMAP(awesome): Namespace: type=private, prefix=, sep=/, inbox=no, hidden=no, subscriptions=no Dec 28 09:57:54 designaproduct dovecot: IMAP(awesome): maildir: data=/home/awesome/Maildir Dec 28 09:57:54 designaproduct dovecot: IMAP(awesome): maildir: root=/home/awesome/Maildir, index=/home/awesome/Maildir, control=, inbox= Dec 28 09:57:54 designaproduct dovecot: IMAP(awesome): Namespace: type=public, prefix=Public/, sep=/, inbox=no, hidden=no, subscriptions=no Dec 28 09:57:54 designaproduct dovecot: IMAP(awesome): maildir: data=/var/mail/public:CONTROL=/home/awesome/Maildir/public/control Dec 28 09:57:54 designaproduct dovecot: IMAP(awesome): maildir: root=/var/mail/public, index=/var/mail/public, control=/home/awesome/Maildir/public/control, inbox= Dec 28 09:57:54 designaproduct dovecot: IMAP(awesome): lstat(/var/mail/public/cur) failed: Permission denied Dec 28 09:57:54 designaproduct dovecot: IMAP(awesome): Sending log messages too fast, throttling..

Why outlook wants to open these folders? I only clicked on "Inbox", it should only open "Inbox", am I right? Outlook says "Could not select 'Inbox' on the IMAP server. You might try refreshing your folders list to synchronize with the IMAP server." But this is a lie. It tried to open many other folders, not just "INBOX". I think that my dovecot configuration is okay. I have different public and private folders. Some users can access all of them, others cannot. Using different groups of users, I can distribute permissions without problems. But I cannot make dovecot "hide" shared folders. Nor can I force all of my users to use Thunderbird. So how can I make outlook working? Thanks, Laszlo

[Dovecot] imap failed asssert in imap-bodystructure.c
by Matt Ronge 26 Dec '06

26 Dec '06

I'm running Dovecot on a Debian system which recently has been failing on an assert(). I have a spam mailbox that if I try and open (from any client), the imap process dies and this is written to the error logs: Dec 21 18:57:11 theronge imap(mronge): file imap-bodystructure.c: line 278 (part_parse_headers): assertion failed: (part->physical_pos >= input->v_offset - start_offset) Dec 21 18:57:11 theronge dovecot: child 28911 (imap) killed with signal 6 I had this same issue with my Inbox a few weeks ago, so I moved all the e-mail out and moved each piece back in one by one, in order to determine if a piece of mail was causing the issue. As soon as all my mail was moved back in, the issue went away and I was able to load my Inbox as usual. I still have the same issue with my spam mailbox, is there anything particular I can do to help debug this issue? In the past I've rm'ed all the mail in my spam mailbox and that fixes it. One thing that may be related is that I only noticed this issue after I had setup Spambayes, which does it's work via procmail. The mailboxes that I've had the issue with, all had headers that contain a Spambayes header, usually like so: X-Spam-Score: 26 X-Spam-Score: 0.6 (/) Sender: mailman-bounces(a)acm.uiuc.edu Errors-To: mailman-bounces(a)acm.uiuc.edu X-Spam-Score: 0.1 (/) X-Authenticated-Sender: X-Spam-Details: rule=cautious-plus_notspam policy=cautious-plus score=26 mlx=26 adultscore=0 adjust=0 reason=mlx engine=3.1.0-0611300000 definitions=main-0612060023 X-Spam-OrigSender: mailman-bounces(a)acm.uiuc.edu X-Spam-Bar: *** X-Spambayes-Classification: spam; 1.00 X-Spambayes-Trained: spam I'm not sure if it's related, but it's a shock in the dark on my part. Any suggested steps that might help isolate this bug? -- Matt Ronge

[Dovecot] Intermittent "cannot update mailbox" problems w/ postfix & dovecot
by John Reddy 26 Dec '06

26 Dec '06

I hate asking questions on mailing lists, but I've exhausted my googling and FAQ trawling skills. If I've missed the pertinent doc, please tell me where to RTFM. Environment: I'm running postfix 2.3.2 on a Solaris 10 server. Mail goes into standard mbox format in /var/mail. Users can access their mail via shell (pine, mutt), POP3 or IMAP, and the pop3/imap server is dovecot-1.0.rc15. Problem: For a few users, mail occasionally fails to deliver. The mail is accepted by smtpd, passes cleanup and qmgr without incident. When it gets to local delivery, though, local complains that "cannot open file: Permission denied". A sample log entry (slightly sanitized): Dec 7 09:42:05 solaris-host local[18332]: [ID 197553 mail.info] D35C3445C: to=<bubba(a)solaris-host.sample.com>, relay=local, delay=0.17, delays=0.09/0/0/0.08, dsn=5.2.0, status=bounced (cannot update mailbox /var/mail/bubba for user bubba. cannot open file: Permission denied) Dec 7 10:52:26 solaris-host local[20775]: [ID 197553 mail.info] 670C9445D: to=<jack(a)solaris-host.sample.com>, relay=local, delay=15, delays=8.9/0/0/6.5, dsn=5.2.0, status=bounced (cannot update mailbox /var/mail/jack for user jack. cannot open file: Permission denied) Does anyone have any advice on how I might get better details about why postfix is having trouble accessing the file? Has anyone run into this before? My initial suspicion is a lock file from the users' POP3 connections... Thanks in advance for any help. -John

[Dovecot] vpopmail problem

Hi! Sorry for my english... I recently know about dovecot and I try to use it on my server. Previously I used qmail+vpopmail+courier and now I want to use postfix+dovecot and, to mantain all my mailboxes structure, I try to use dovecot with vpopmail. During configuration the script detects my vpopmail installation and configuration and after I get this status: Install prefix ...................... : /usr/local File offsets ........................ : 64bit I/O loop method ..................... : poll File change notification method ..... : dnotify Building with SSL support ........... : yes (OpenSSL) Building with IPv6 support .......... : yes Building with pop3 server ........... : yes Building with mail delivery agent .. : yes Building with GSSAPI support ........ : no Building with user database modules . : static prefetch passwd passwd-file checkpassword vpopmail (modules) Building with password lookup modules : passwd passwd-file shadow checkpassword vpopmail (modules) And after some testing I start the daemon with this config: protocols = imap imaps pop3 pop3s auth default { mechanisms = plain passdb vpopmail {} userdb vpopmail {} user = vpopmail } I connect to localhost via pop3 and when I try to auth some user I get this: Dec 26 01:27:45 anet dovecot: auth(default): client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=IMAP secured lip=127.0.0.1 rip=127.0.0.1 resp=AHNyb2RvbkBncmFjaWFuZXQub3JnAHR3aXN0 Dec 26 01:27:45 anet dovecot: auth(default): vpopmail(srodon(a)anet.org,127.0.0.1): unknown user Dec 26 01:27:46 anet dovecot: auth(default): client out: FAIL 1 user=srodon(a)anet.org Dec 26 01:27:46 anet dovecot: imap-login: Aborted login: user=<srodon(a)anet.org>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured I tried other auth methods but I get an "Unsupported authentication mechanism" error.

[Dovecot] Sizing login_process_size and login_processes_count?
by Francisco Reyes 25 Dec '06

25 Dec '06

Any suggestions on sizing login_process_size and login_processes_count for a server expected to be doing 100 to 200 simultaneous connections? Is there a way to separate login_processes_count between imap and pop? I would like to have at least 50 imap processes ready, but we rarely have any more than 5 to 10 pop connections. Would be a shame to have 40+ pop login processes doing nothing most of the time. For now did login_process_size = 96, but with an average of 100 to 200 and some rare ocassion of 300+ connections I am wondering what is a reasonable number for login_process_size.

[Dovecot] LDA + sieve +Maildir?
by Francisco Reyes 25 Dec '06

25 Dec '06

I have a working Dovecot + LDA + Maildir setup and am looking to implement sieve with it. The examples that I have seen seem to be for mbox. Does sieve work with maildir? Looking to move mails marked as spam to a spam folder. Also we have a feature we offer to send spam to a different account in the domain. Could this also be done with sieve?

I suspected as much, though I had hoped that there was an easy applicable solution. Sadly my MS-using clients are reluctant at best to change their applications, flawed as they may be, so I guess they'll have to live with things as they are for now. MS really should fix their apps, but that's a topic for a discussion of it's own. I use a mysql-backend, and suspect I could change the login-call to match whatever Outlook or Entourage choose to send, but that would be difficult to make consistent enough to be truly workable, I think... Thanks for your time /Lars

[Dovecot] NTLM authentication woes
by Lars Skovgaard 24 Dec '06

24 Dec '06

Hi all, I have set up dovecot to use a number of different authentication- mechanisms, which are all working as expected from well-behaved clients. However, MS Outlook on Windows and MS Entourage X on Mac OS X refuse to connect using NTLM. Outlook Express on Windows seems to be working fine, and NTLM authentication works from within OS X Mail.app as well. Turning on auth_debug and auth_verbose has led me to discover that MS Outlook uses the users full name as login, instead of whatever is entered in the account-information - if the user "John Doe" has the login "jd(a)domain.com", Outlook sends "John Doe" instead. This of course fails. Strangely enough, if I turn off "Use Secure Authentication" from within Outlook, the login-name from the account- information is used as it should be. From MS Entourage, the problem is similar but not identical. Here, the login is sent as "jd(a)domain.com/jd". I have worked around the problem for now by instructing my clients to use SSL-connections and disabling "Secure Authentication", but would like for everyone to be able to log on without using SSL (due to the returning questions regarding my self-signed certificate). Can anyone shed some light on why the MS apps refuse to behave? Thanks in advance! /Lars PS: I wish you all a merry christmas and a happy new year! :o)

Hi, i'm trying to configure my postfix to use dovecot SASL instead of saslauthd with rimap to authenticate my users. I've modified my postfix/dovecot configuration as is described on http://wiki.dovecot.org/PostfixAndDovecotSASL but when an user try to login it fails with the following log (debug_auth = on): Dec 12 15:07:53 lorien dovecot: auth(default): client in: AUTH^I1^IPLAIN^Iservice=smtp^Iresp=<hidden> Dec 12 15:07:53 lorien dovecot: auth(default): passdb(mnencia(a)prato.linux.it,master): Attempted master login with no master passdbs Dec 12 15:07:55 lorien dovecot: auth(default): client out: FAIL^I1^Iuser=mnencia(a)prato.linux.it The question is?

[Dovecot] Postfix/Dovecot virtual - directory structure
by Johan Folin 23 Dec '06

23 Dec '06

Hi, perhaps I should post this in a Postfix forum but I'll give it a shot: I want my accounts sorted under /home/vmail/[domain]/[username] (and I managed to get Dovecot to look for mail there with %d and %n ), but how do I tell Postfix to sort the mail? I can't figure out how to do it. The virtual_mail_base is /home/vmail/ but there I get a bunch of folders in the form [username]@[domain]. I use mysql for the virtual mailboxes if that matters. I'll be grateful for any suggestions. /Johan Folin

[Dovecot] Feature request: don't allow subscriptions to deleted mail boxes
by Erik van Oosten 23 Dec '06

23 Dec '06

Hello, Due to Thunderbird's mailbox deletion problem I was able to remove a mailbox while keeping the subscription. This was hugely annoying as Thunderbird is totally incapable of removing the subscription, even though the mailbox is long gone. It took me a while before I found a work around: I had to actually log in and remove a line from the .subscriptions file. You will probably get the same problem when you manually delete or rename a mailbox. So here is my feature request: please check for subscriptions to non-existing mail boxes and delete these when found. I am not sure what events would be appropriate for triggering the check, but I am sure there are some. Environment: - Dovecot 1.0 rc15 - SuSE Linux 10.0 - Thunderbird 1.5 Regards, Erik. PS. Thanks for Dovecot, it is the best IMAP server I have ever used. -- Erik van Oosten http://day-to-day-stuff.blogspot.com/

[Dovecot] Telnet Listing of IMAP mailboxes
by Lovell McIlwain 23 Dec '06

23 Dec '06

Hello all, I am trying to figure out why I am can't seem to access any of my mailboxes that I moved from my OS X machine using UW-IMAP and I followed the directions on the wiki (http://wiki.dovecot.org/MissingMailboxes) to try and figure this out. I believe based on what I saw that my client seems to be the problem, but my question is. Can anyone tell me what the difference between (\NoInferiors) and (\NoInferiors \Marked) All of my mailboxes showed up when I telnet'd to my IMAP server but I noticed some had that tag and some didn't and I'm just wondering if I should be concerned with the difference? If your not sure what I mean, here is a snipet of the command I ran and a small output: B list "" * * LIST (\NoInferiors) "/" INBOX * LIST (\NoInferiors \Marked) "/" "Junk E-mail"

[Dovecot] Dovecot killing OpenLDAP
by Gavin Henry 23 Dec '06

23 Dec '06

Hi all, For some reason, dovecot is holding a connection up, so we can't shutdown our directory server. OpenLDAP just sits there waiting for the thread to finish. Our OpenLDAP logs show (binding example and shutdown): connection_input: conn=1 deferring operation: binding daemon: shutdown requested and initiated. conn=1 fd=12 closed (slapd shutdown) slapd shutdown: waiting for 1 threads to terminate Sometimes the IMAP connection is also dropped. We are storing our users in the directory for passdb and userdb, no prefetch enabled. Running rc15 on FC6. This is crashing OpenLDAP 2.3.31 (bdb 4.2.52), as it won't shutdown. We have to do a db_recover after removing alock. Thanks. -- Kind Regards, Gavin Henry. Managing Director.

[Dovecot] NEWBIE: Package Requirements List?
by Aaron J Weber 23 Dec '06

23 Dec '06

I can't seem to find a succinct listing of the packages (and optional packages) required to compile dovecot. I see references to various RDBMS's, but nothing that says I actually _require_ one, etc. I see references to openssl, but similarly, I don't see that it's technically required. Is there a link I'm missing that indicates the pre-conditions (pre-installed/configured software) before compiling and linking dovecot? Thanks in advance! -AJ

[Dovecot] First Login (Thunderbird) Aborted in RC15?

Not sure if this is anything to worry about. Just upgraded to RC15 to do some testing, and like always, I monitor the logs when I do this. I restarted the server (basically a clean install, uninstalled RC2, installed RC15, same config file), and then opened Thunderbird. (Ip's masked) Dec 15 14:35:50 mafeking dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<joeblogs>, method=plain, rip=<me>, lip=<server>, TLS Dec 15 14:35:50 mafeking dovecot: imap-login: Aborted login: rip=<me>, lip=<server>, TLS Dec 15 14:35:50 mafeking dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<joeblogs>, method=plain, rip=<me>, lip=<server>, TLS It seems ether Thunderbird tried to login twice and one failed, or it failed the first time but succeeded the second time? Doing the equivalent from Sylpheed (all IMAP, same account) produced just the following line.

[Dovecot] dovecot lda truncates messages
by Jef Driesen 23 Dec '06

23 Dec '06

I'm running dovecot 1.0.rc2 (package from ubuntu 6.10) and use the dovecot lda 'deliver' (also a package from ubuntu 6.10 with sieve filtering) to deliver messages to maildir. Everything works well, until I discovered a truncated message this week. The problematic message is a message bounced by the majordomo mailinglist software. I think the problem is related to the fact that the message body is another mail message (including the original headers and body). I attached two (scramled) versions of the message. The first one (message-normal.txt) is the file which is delivered to the maildir by the built-in postfix lda. The second one (message-truncated.txt) is delivered by the dovecot lda.

[Dovecot] Configuration Question.
by James Andrews 23 Dec '06

23 Dec '06

Hi Everyone. I have recently installed dovecot for the first time on a RHEL3 server. I have it working for the most part, but am a bit baffled by part of the configuration, something that I am sure I am just doing incorrectly. I can successfully access my normal mailbox which is in /var/spool/ mail/username, but I also want to create mail folders, and that's the problem I am having. I want the folders to live in ~/mail/ I have tried default_mail_env = mbox:~/mail/:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u and default_mail_env = maildir:~/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u What on earth am I doing wrong? I'm sure it's something small that I just don't understand. Thanks James
