[Dovecot] 1.0.rc1 released
by Timo Sirainen 02 Jul '06

02 Jul '06

I think the code is now stable enough to be called the first release candidate. Please report any bugs, new and old. The filesystem quota numbers should be correct now? http://dovecot.org/releases/dovecot-1.0.rc1.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/dovecot-1.0.rc1.tar.gz.sig * PAM: If user's password is expired, give "Password expired" error message to the user. Now actually working thanks to Vaidas Pilkauskas * Relicensed dovecot-auth, lib-sql and lib-ntlm to MIT license. See COPYING file for more information. * Abuse prevention: When creating a mailbox, limit the number of hierarchies (up to 20) and the length of the mailbox name within a hierarchy (up to 200 characters). * mbox: If saved mail doesn't end with LF, add it ourself so that the mails always have one empty line before the next From-line. + Added --with-statedir configure option which defaults to $localstatedir/lib/dovecot. ssl-parameters.dat is permanently stored in that directory and is copied to login_dirs from there. + IMAP: Support SASL-IR extension (SASL initial response) + Support initial SASL response with LOGIN mechanism. Patch by Anders Karlsson + Added PLAIN-MD4 password scheme. Patch by Andrey Panin. + Added support for XFS disk quotas. Patch by Pawel Jarosz + If another process deletes the opened mailbox, try to handle it without writing errors to log file. Handles the most common cases. + Added TLS support for LDAP if the library supports it. - SEARCH command was more or less broken with OR and NOT conditions - Dovecot corrupted mbox files which had CR+LF linefeeds in headers - MySQL code could have crashed while escaping strings - MD4 code with NTLM authentication was broken with 64bit systems. Patch by Andrey Panin - Plugin loading was broken in some OSes (eg. FreeBSD) - Several fixes to handling empty values in configuration file - Several fixes to dictionary quota backend and dict server. Also changed how they're configured. - deliver: Fixed plugin handling settings - mbox_min_index_size handling was somewhat broken - passdb passwd-file: extra_args field wasn't read unless the file was also used as userdb.

[Dovecot] SSL proxy rewrite
by Timo Sirainen 02 Jul '06

02 Jul '06

Last time I committed my SSL proxy rewrite people complained that it got broken. Now that I'm finally trying to fix it, it seems to work perfectly with me. Both downloading lots of messages and saving lots of messages works fine. I added SSL alerts and something else to be logged now with verbose_ssl=yes. With that enabled, could you people try if the rewritten code works with you, and if not, what do the logs say? To test it you'll need the latest CVS code or the latest nightly snapshot and this patch: http://dovecot.org/patches/ssl-rewrite.diff

[Dovecot] Secure connection from "localhost" in jails
by Dirk Engling 02 Jul '06

02 Jul '06

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear dovecot developers, first: thanks for this really cool imapd, on my server it serves some hundred domains, all in all some thousand users, some having hundred thousand mails in their Maildirs (their spam boxes mostly). Since I put this installation in an FreeBSD geli encrypted disc image I had no choice but to choose an imapd with clever indexes - dovecot was perfect. However, since I reconfigured the disc image to work as a FreeBSD jail, I had some trouble with my web mail solution. Squirrelmail does not work with imaps (or at least not smoothly, out of the box, or whatever) and I didn't like to hack php to support SSL. Plus: there is no point in using ssl for a local connection. In a FreeBSD jail a sockets source address is always rewritten to the jails address, so squirrelmail opening a connection to dovecot will not come from 127.0.0.1 but from the same (jails) address, dovecot listens to. Still, dovecot only considers 'localhost' addresses as secure and allows LOGIN or PLAIN auth. With the little patch below dovecot allows clients from the jail to authenticate via LOGIN, when they connect from the IP it accepts connections at. Something similar is lurking around in pop3 auth code, I am sure, you get the point.

[Dovecot] Just one user experiencing server timeouts
by Fran Fabrizio 01 Jul '06

01 Jul '06

[dovecot-1.0-0.beta2.7 on Fedora Core 5, maildir formatted mail directories, various clients: thunderbird 1.5.0.4 from FC4 and WinXP, SquirrelMail 1.4.6-5.fc5 RPM, various recent versions of Pine from various Fedoras and Redhat 9] I have just one mail user who experiences server timeouts when trying to delete a message (move it to Trash) or other common operations. This user has 4.1GB of mail spread over 200+ Maildir-formatted folders, so I immediately expected sheer volume as the problem - this user has by far the most mail. This user experiences the problem from multiple Thunderbird installs, from SquirrelMail, and from Pine. However, I created a new user account using our standard account creation processes, and did a direct copy of olduser's Maildir to newuser's homedir. Then I did a chown -R newuser ~newuser/Maildir, set up an account in Thunderbird for newuser's account, and tried for an hour to get a server timeout doing all the same operations that cause the timeout on olduser's account, with no timeouts. I absolutely cannot duplicate the behavior, but when I watch olduser do this from any of the above named clients, I see the timeouts on about 10% of the operations. I've been looking into this off and on for weeks, but I am baffled. I can't think of what is so specific about this one user's account that is causing the trip up. Both home directories are stored on the same filesystem and as I mentioned I made an exact duplicate of Maildir. I'm completely out of ideas, does anyone have any thoughts? Does Dovecot do any data tracking on a per user basis that could be confusing it, some cache I can clear? Dovecot has been restarted numerous times since the trouble started. -- Fran Fabrizio Senior Systems Analyst Department of Computer and Information Sciences University of Alabama at Birmingham http://www.cis.uab.edu/ 205.934.0653

[Dovecot] Improving interaction/performance with Mail.app?
by Alan Schmitt 01 Jul '06

01 Jul '06

Hello, I'm using dovecot as my IMAP server just for me, and I access it from three machines, all using Apple Mail.app. Unfortunately the performance is really bad, especially when deleting or copying a lot of messages. I know this is the fault of Mail.app, whose IMAP support leaves a lot to desire, but I was wondering if there could be some dovecot configuration tricks that make the interaction smoother. Thanks a lot, Alan -- Alan Schmitt <http://alan.petitepomme.net/> The hacker: someone who figured things out and made something cool happen. .O. ..O OOO

[Dovecot] 1.0rc1 location variable bug

I think I've found a bug in Dovecot 1.0 rc1 where if you have namespaces without the "location = " setting defined, it fails to use default_mail_env as it should. This seems to have been broken by :- 2006-06-16 18:13 Timo Sirainen <tss(a)iki.fi> * src/master/: auth-process.c, login-process.c, mail-process.c, main.c, master-settings.c: Settings parser nowadays returns "" instead of NULL when it reads an empty value from config file (due to some good reason I unfortunately didn't write to commit message and can't remember anymore). Fixed a lot of existing checks which checked for empty strings with NULL instead of "" checks. Looks like Timo missed (at least) one! I'm surprised nobody else has seen this.

[Dovecot] help for static user

Hi everybody, I have been long (for 2 days) trying, but I really need some help. I would like to use virtual static users. I configured my file as indicated in the documentation and then I created the following directory, with the needed rights (mail account) and leave them empty : /var/mail/virtual/<mon_domaine>.fr/toto/ I am not sure that it is the good method, but I understand it as follows : dovecot looks up in the directories and takes them as usernames and domain names.

[Dovecot] How to use filters with the LDA?
by martin f krafft 30 Jun '06

30 Jun '06

Hi, I am trying to deploy dovecot LDA and liking it so far. However, I need to pass the message through some filters before it's delivered to the user (e.g. spamc). I realise I can just set up a chain (postfix delivers to spamc, pipes to foo, pipes to bar, pipes to deliver), but there's no reliable error handling with that approach. Furthermore, I cannot seem to figure out whether sieve can pass messages through external filters, or how you'd do that. How do people approach this? What would be really sweet is an LDA plugin that can call arbitrary filters for each message it processes. Has something (obvious) like this been done? Thanks, -- martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:" net@madduck spamtraps: madduck.bogus(a)madduck.net "doesn't he know who i think i am?" -- phil collins

[Dovecot] some basic questions
by David 29 Jun '06

29 Jun '06

I'm seeking a small IMAP server, and dovecat was recommended by those more savvy than me. (The sign on my monitor is "My programming language is solder..") so I'll be getting help to deploy this, but first... I've read through the wiki docs but still have questions, ones likely too obvious for most readers.... There will be <100 users, the platform will Debian, and I need IMAP/PO over SSL/TSL and locally-hosted Squirrelmail [unless someone has a better webmail client...]. Other boxes here run postfix, so that is a first choice. Clients will be Eudora, maybe TBird/Apple mail; no M$ Outlook. A) I need multi-domain support, with <joe(a)xyz.com> and <joy(a)qbc.net> being separate users. B) I have a problem with storage-abusers & really want the carrot-stick quota system my favorite ISP, Panix, has. You get N bytes {or messages, I can live with either/both} and when you get near, you get nagged until you solve it. When you exceed quota, you get no more incoming mail, just nagging. It's shunted aside until you make room. After D days, if it's still there, the shunted mail is returned. Regular reports as to who's naughty and nice would be great. C) Password changes. How can I have user-changable pw's, with crack/sanity checking of the new ones? Do I have to have accessible shell accounts on the box for each user? [argh] D) Spam: assume I can run spam-assassin and have it move suspected mail into a Junque mailbox; true? E) Non-guru creation/deletion of accounts: It appears from "Virtual Users" that this is possible via a text file, but I'm not sure... Comments?

[Dovecot] Managesieve daemon
by Luca Corti 29 Jun '06

29 Jun '06

Hello, some time ago there was dicussion on the list about development of a managesieve daemon to allow users to manage their own scripts. After putting the pieces togheter and having sieve working in the lda with Dovecot I solved the management issue by using Horde's Ingo + FTP to manage scripts for virtual users. This is quite ugly (technically speaking) but works and it is integrated with my webmail system (which is quite nice). Is anyone actively working on this? Which client do support managesieve? Luca

[Dovecot] upgrade from beta9 to rc1 - lost access to messages and folders

Hello All, Upgraded a test machine this morning from beta9 to rc1 and lost access to messages and folders. an strace on the imap process shows it accessing the home directory, but not the mail directory. The two queries that I use are: password_query = SELECT email,crypt as password FROM users WHERE email = '%u' user_query = SELECT homedir AS home, maildir AS mail, 1000 AS uid, 1000 AS gid FROM users WHERE email = '%u' In this example, homedir=/var/spool/mail/filer/storage and maildir=cfu.net/b/r/breu Under beta9, it finds the homedir/maildir correctly as /var/spool/mail/filer/storage/cfu.net/b/r/breu.

Is there an option to instruct the imap_quota plugin to count messages in the Trash folder as used space? Thanks, --------------------------------------------------------- Joseph W.

[Dovecot] Running on HPUX
by Rich Rauenzahn 29 Jun '06

I've gotten fairly far into compiling and running dovecot on HPUX. The problem I'm currently having is that the index seems to be mmap'ed at twice after login. The 576 byte mmap is the index file: root@hp46t243 # grep mmap64 /tmp/dovecot.tusc [imap ][1707] mmap64(NULL, 576, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, 7, 0) = 0xc166c000 [imap ][1707] mmap64(NULL, 18432, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, 8, 0) ........ = 0xc166d000 [imap ][1707] mmap64(NULL, 24, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, 9, 0) ........... = 0xc1672000 [imap ][1707] mmap64(NULL, 576, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, 7, 0) ERR#12 ENOMEM [imap ][1717] mmap64(NULL, 576, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, 7, 0) = 0xc166c000 [imap ][1717] mmap64(NULL, 18432, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, 9, 0) ........ = 0xc166d000 [imap ][1717] mmap64(NULL, 24, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, 8, 0) ........... = 0xc1672000 [imap ][1717] mmap64(NULL, 576, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, 7, 0) ERR#12 ENOMEM [imap ][1897] mmap64(NULL, 576, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, 7, 0) = 0xc166c000 [imap ][1897] mmap64(NULL, 18432, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, 9, 0) ........ = 0xc166d000 [imap ][1897] mmap64(NULL, 24, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, 8, 0) ........... = 0xc1672000 [imap ][1897] mmap64(NULL, 576, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, 7, 0) ERR#12 ENOMEM [imap ][2042] mmap64(NULL, 576, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, 7, 0) = 0xc166c000 [imap ][2042] mmap64(NULL, 18432, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, 9, 0) ........ = 0xc166d000 [imap ][2042] mmap64(NULL, 24, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, 8, 0) ........... = 0xc1672000 [imap ][2042] mmap64(NULL, 576, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, 7, 0) ERR#12 ENOMEM [imap ][2178] mmap64(NULL, 576, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, 7, 0) = 0xc166c000 [imap ][2178] mmap64(NULL, 18432, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, 9, 0) ........ = 0xc166d000 [imap ][2178] mmap64(NULL, 24, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, 8, 0) ........... = 0xc1672000 [imap ][2178] mmap64(NULL, 576, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, 7, 0) ERR#12 ENOMEM [imap ][2318] mmap64(NULL, 576, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, 7, 0) = 0xc166c000 [imap ][2318] mmap64(NULL, 18432, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, 9, 0) ........ = 0xc166d000 [imap ][2318] mmap64(NULL, 24, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, 8, 0) ........... = 0xc1672000 [imap ][2318] mmap64(NULL, 576, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, 7, 0) ERR#12 ENOMEM root@hp46t243 # I think multiple mmap's of the same file are verboten -- + In most cases, two separate calls to mmap() cannot map overlapping ranges in a file. The virtual address range reserved for a file range is determined at the time of the initial mapping of the file range into a process address space. The system allocates only the virtual address range necessary to represent the initial mapping. As long as the initial mapping exists, subsequent attempts to map a different file range that includes any portion of the initial range may fail with an ENOMEM error if an extended contiguous address range that preserves the mappings of the initial range cannot be allocated. So, I was trying to look at why the index file is being mapped twice, and why the addr isn't saved and reused. I was thinking of adding it to one of the index structures and skipping the mmap if the addr != 0. I've been poking around for a couple of hours today and am going to call it a day, but I thought I'd ping the list to see if there was something obvious I was missing. Rich

[Dovecot] APPEND bug in dovecot-20060628
by Apps Lists 28 Jun '06

28 Jun '06

Hi. I'm running maildir quotas with rc1 (dovecot-20060628) and get the following when trying to APPEND: "NO Unknown error" System logs show: Quota: Couldn't get new message's size .... and the file isn't there (unknown if Dovecot removed it, or if the lack of the file is the cause of the error). I reverted back to dovecot-20060621 and APPEND is now working again. Steve
