[Dovecot] Supporting local and virtual LDAP users, with seperate mail_env
by Tim Schafer 18 Aug '06

18 Aug '06

Is it possible to have local users with mail in maildir:%h/.maildir and virutal users with mail in maildir:/home/exim/%u/.maildir I seem to have authentication working for both local users and LDAP users. But I'm getting this error trying to access a virtual users mail.

[Dovecot] kqueue rewrite testing, try #3
by Timo Sirainen 18 Aug '06

18 Aug '06

So, apparently the original kqueue code was working fine after all, although it was much more complex than it really needed to be. So, this time there's a really simple and pretty kqueue implementation: http://dovecot.org/nightly/dovecot-latest.tar.gz Tested that it seems to work with FreeBSD.

[Dovecot] 1.0rc7 getting near
by Timo Sirainen 18 Aug '06

18 Aug '06

To avoid having some stupid new problems with 1.0rc7, could you test this night's snapshot once it arrives in a couple of hours: http://dovecot.org/nightly/dovecot-20060811.tar.gz Especially people who had compiling problems with 1.0rc6. Also everyone who are still experiencing hangs could you try the suggestions in this mail and tell me what happened: http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2006-August/015377.html

[Dovecot] BSD people, please test kqueue changes
by Timo Sirainen 17 Aug '06

17 Aug '06

I rewrote much of the kqueue code since the old code didn't handle properly the case when both input and output I/O handlers were added to the same file descriptor with different callbacks. This is done commonly in Dovecot, so I'm wondering why more people didn't complain about problems with it.. :) I don't anyway have access to any BSDs so the code is completely untested. Please test how it works before 1.0rc7 :) http://dovecot.org/nightly/dovecot-latest.tar.gz I'd guess the hangs caused by recent RC versions were because the default was to use notify=kqueue instead of notify=none. I changed this back to none unless --with-ioloop=kqueue is used. There are a couple of things in the code that I'm not completely sure of. The kqueue() manual page says that EV_ADD "modifies" the event if it already exists. What exactly does that mean? Does it mean that the filter is replaced, or that it's ORed into the existing one? The same question for the EV_DELETE, does it delete everything or only those filters given in parameters? The code currently assumes ORing and EV_DELETE deleting only the given filters, since this is what the original code also did. I suppose the data and udata parameters don't matter in EV_DELETE since they weren't given originally in ioloop-notify-kqueue.c either, so I left them that way.

[Dovecot] BSD kqueue testing, once more before 1.0rc7
by Timo Sirainen 17 Aug '06

17 Aug '06

I did a few more changes and it seems to be working with FreeBSD. I didn't before realize that event filters weren't bitmasks so that broke things. Anyway, a bit more "real world testing" would be better than my test program and telnet localhost -tests :) I'll release 1.0rc7 in any case today before I go to sleep (so, max. 6 hours or so). http://dovecot.org/nightly/dovecot-latest.tar.gz

[Dovecot] LDAP usernames with spaces
by Tim Schafer 17 Aug '06

17 Aug '06

I'm trying to setup dovecot to work with an existing virtual user database in LDAP in order to replace courier-imap. I have users in LDAP with dn of the following form cn=Firstname Lastname,ou=company,dc=domain,dc=com and the uid attribute containes a userid of the form flastname The on disk format for an account is: /home/exim/<uid>/.maildir My first problem is that I cannot get dovecot to authenticate the existing DNs It complains: dovecot: auth(default): plain(?,ipaddress): Username contains disallowed characters I'm assuming it doesn't like the spaces. Any way around this? Also, I don't see any way to support the seperate username and userid where the username is for authentication and the userid is used for on disk pathname. Anyway to support this? Thanks in advance. -- Regards, Tim Schafer

Hello, I have upgraded my dovecot-0.99.13-3.FC3 to dovecot-1.0-0.beta8.2.fc5 recently and now am having weird problem. If somebody's mailbox has the first line in a form of From "User Name" <user(a)host.domain.edu> Thu Oct 7 14:20:00 1999 instead of From user(a)host.domain.edu Thu Oct 7 14:20:00 1999 then that mailbox couldn't be precessed by dovecot. It wasn't a problem with 0.99.13, but it is a problem with 1.0. Is there any fix for that on a dovecot's side? I don't like the idea of going through all 100Gb of mailboxes and fixing the From line.

[Dovecot] .imap.index.data Files
by Nigel Cox 17 Aug '06

17 Aug '06

Hi, We recently had a mail storm which resulted in many tens of thousands of e-mails being delivered to each of 4 users in just 5 minutes. This was quickly resolved. However, one more savvy user though he could use the webmail (squirrelmail) to delete the e-mail without downloading it. He gave up on the idea though. I, however, removed the mail directly from the server file system. The problem now is that he has a .imap.index.data file of over 250MB! I have asked him to login again and view all the directories, I even sent him another test and asked him to delete this via webmail. None of this had any effect on the file. I thought the indexes were rebuilt with the deletion of a message? Any ideas?

[Dovecot] From passwd-file to Postgresql database
by Jonathan Ballet 17 Aug '06

17 Aug '06

Hello, I have a working installation of Dovecot, which use passwd-file for both users and passwords databases. My setup uses CRAM-MD5 for the authentification mechanism and the password in my passwd-file was stored encoded with HMAC-MD5. Now, I want to use Postgresql to replace those passwd-files. So I make the necessary change in my dovecot.conf file : ========================================= userdb sql { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf } passdb sql { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf } ========================================= In the dovecot-sql.conf file, I comment out the simplest query, and change the default_pass_scheme to HMAC-MD5 (as in my previous setup). I put my users from the passwd-file into my database, with the same user id, and the same password (starting with {HMAC-MD5}) ... ... but it fails :( The log file says to me : ========== dovecot: 2006-08-14 15:36:12 Info: auth(default): cram-md5(jon,xxx): password mismatch ========== I tried several other password schemes (DIGEST-MD5, PLAIN-MD5, PLAIN), but only PLAIN seems to work (of course, I changed the password in the database accordingly). The documentation isn't very clear about this (or I don't find it ?) : - in an "old" auth.txt, it is written that only PLAIN is supported, but I don't knwo if I can trust it ? - I've got an old dovecot-pgsql.conf (2004, maybe from dovecot 0.9x ?), which said that supported scheme are "PLAIN, PLAIN-MD5, DIGEST-MD5, and CRYPT" So, what I am doing wrong ? And what is correct (or not) in my previous search ? Regards, -- Jonathan

[Dovecot] Port Change?
by Charlie Davis 16 Aug '06

16 Aug '06

Hey all, Got a super simple question that I can't find an answer to on google or on the list. I want dovecot to listen to port 143 and another port as well for imap. Is this possible? The dovecot.conf has a little note that says "If you want to specify ports # for each service, you will need to configure these settings inside the # protocol imap/pop3 { ... } section, so you can specify different ports # for IMAP/POP3." but in the protocol section for imap, I don't see any example or what not of changing the port. Any help? -Charlie

[Dovecot] dovecot 1.0rc6 and LDAP problem
by Marcin Deranek 16 Aug '06

16 Aug '06

Hi, I have been using Dovecot with LDAP support (only for password authentication) for a couple of weeks already and everything was running smoothly so far.. till last week when discovered interesting thing: whenever I start LDAP server (openldap 2.3.24) before I start Dovecot everything is fine.. however when Dovecot is started first and then LDAP server it's not possible to authenticate :-( My dovecot-ldap.conf file: hosts = 127.0.0.1 auth_bind = yes auth_bind_userdn = uid=%u,ou=Users,dc=domain,dc=tld ldap_version = 3 base = ou=Users,dc=domain,dc=tld These are messages I get in syslog: slapd is down Aug 15 18:56:55 ftp dovecot: Dovecot v1.0.rc6 starting up Aug 15 18:56:56 ftp dovecot: auth(default): LDAP: Can't connect to server: 127.0.0.1 slapd is started Aug 15 18:58:36 ftp dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Inactivity: method=plain, rip=192.168.1.3, lip=192.168.1.2, TLS Aug 15 18:58:36 ftp dovecot: login: tried to change state 2 -> 2 (if you can't login at all, see src/lib/fdpass.c) slapd messages: Aug 15 18:57:19 ftp slapd[20544]: slapd starting Aug 15 18:57:36 ftp slapd[20544]: conn=0 fd=11 ACCEPT from IP=127.0.0.1:37703 (IP=0.0.0.0:389) Aug 15 18:57:36 ftp slapd[20544]: conn=0 op=0 BIND dn="uid=user,ou=Users,dc=domain,dc=tld" method=128 Aug 15 18:57:36 ftp slapd[20544]: conn=0 op=0 BIND dn="uid=user,ou=Users,dc=domain,dc=tld" mech=SIMPLE ssf=0 Aug 15 18:57:36 ftp slapd[20544]: conn=0 op=0 RESULT tag=97 err=0 text= Aug 15 18:58:39 ftp slapd[20544]: conn=0 op=1 BIND anonymous mech=implicit ssf=0 Aug 15 18:58:39 ftp slapd[20544]: conn=0 op=1 BIND dn="uid=user,ou=Users,dc=domain,dc=tld" method=128 Aug 15 18:58:39 ftp slapd[20544]: conn=0 op=1 BIND dn="uid=user,ou=Users,dc=domain,dc=tld" mech=SIMPLE ssf=0 Aug 15 18:58:39 ftp slapd[20544]: conn=0 op=1 RESULT tag=97 err=0 text= Aug 15 18:59:41 ftp slapd[20544]: conn=0 op=2 BIND anonymous mech=implicit ssf=0 Aug 15 18:59:41 ftp slapd[20544]: conn=0 op=2 BIND dn="uid=user,ou=Users,dc=domain,dc=tld" method=128 Aug 15 18:59:41 ftp slapd[20544]: conn=0 op=2 BIND dn="uid=user,ou=Users,dc=domain,dc=tld" mech=SIMPLE ssf=0 Aug 15 18:59:41 ftp slapd[20544]: conn=0 op=2 RESULT tag=97 err=0 text= Has anyone else has the same problem ?

[Dovecot] stale imap processes with 1.0.rc6 on FreeBSD
by Jeremy C. Reed 16 Aug '06

16 Aug '06

Was running dovecot-1.0.rc2 but many stale imap processes (only one user of IMAP). Switched to dovecot-1.0.rc6 but problem continued. This is on FreeBSD 4 something. Maybe it has bug with kqueue?? I read messages about the stale imap processes on the list. It seems to hit *BSD systems. But email about new release candidate indicated it should be fixed. I read on the pkgsrc commit list about --with-ioloop=best So I configured with that and saw that the I/O loop method is now kqueue. (I saved configure output and it was poll before). But the stale imap processes problem continues. For one user over past couple hours I have eight imap processes in "I" state. I have: File offsets ........................ : 64bit I/O loop method ..................... : kqueue File change notification method ..... : kqueue 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 (modules) Building with password lookup modules : passwd passwd-file pam checkpassword (modules) Building with SQL drivers ............: And I have: protocols = imap pop3 protocol imap { imap_client_workarounds = outlook-idle delay-newmail } (Just started using delay-newmail today.) My maillogs don't show any problems. The IMAP user tells me that Outlook says it has reset connections often. I see multiple imap-login Login within a few minutes for this same user who said received a connection reset in outlook at the same time. Just received a screenshot that said: Microsoft Office Outlook Failed to update headers. The TCP/IP connection unexpectedly terminated by the server. Then also received an error (in Outlook I think), like: imap session idle too long, connection reset (I don't have or use Outlook myself so can't test myself.) It is used for a lot of pop3 and seems fine with that. (It uses stunnel for pop3s but not imaps for over a week to eliminate stunnel from our troubleshooting). Any ideas on troubleshooting this would be appreciated. Jeremy C. Reed

hi is it possible to somehow log cleartext passwords (preferably after the authentication is done, and the user logged in)? 'auth_verbose = yes' doesn't seem to be enough. i have dovecot 0.99. thx.

[Dovecot] Dovecot - Issue with Maildir++ quotas
by Andrew Richards 16 Aug '06

16 Aug '06

Hi, I've been bitten by an issue running Squirrelmail on top of Dovecot using Maildir++ quotas. Having configured these quotas in Dovecot, I notice that Dovecot appears not to exclude the 'Trash' folder from its quota calculation (which it should do, according to the Maildir++ spec). Unfortunately this breaks Squirrelmail if I try to delete a message from a close-to-quota mailbox - as per July's thread: "Maildir++ quota - how to handle a full mailbox" Which unfortunately means that a fairly full mailbox can become 'Wedged' with Dovecot/Squirrelmail in this situation with its owner unable to delete messages if that's the only way they access their mailbox. I took a look at the source and found the 'Quota exceeded' lines in src/plugins/quota/quota-storage.c but didn't understand it well enough to dive in... except to notice that the 'Trash' folder doesn't appear to get excluded from the calculations. cheers, Andrew.
