[Dovecot] preserving pop3 mail uids
by adcx＠server101.com 09 Apr '06

09 Apr '06

Is there some way that message uids can be preserved when converting uw-pop3 mbox mail to dovecot maildir format? We've tried perfect_maildir, mb2md and the convert-tool that comes with dovecot but so far have been unable to preserve the message uids, which for example go from 44333a8500000003 before the conversion to 4434621500000003 afterwards. The quantity of mailboxes involved means forcing users to re-pop old emails left on the server isn't an option. Any help appreciated.

[Dovecot] LDAP authentication via PAM
by Oscar A. Valdez 09 Apr '06

09 Apr '06

I've configured dovecot to authenticate against a Fedora Directory Server. The mail server on which dovecot is installed has the nss_ldap and pam_ldap packages installed, and /etc/dovecot.conf has the following two lines: auth_userdb = ldap /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf auth_passdb = pam In other words, I want dovecot to use LDAP to access the user database, but PAM for authentication. This part is working, since users authenticate and get their mails correctly through dovecot. /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf contains the following: hosts = 192.168.0.2 ldap_version = 3 base = ou=People, dc=duraflex, dc=com, dc=sv deref = never scope = subtree user_attrs = uid,homeDirectory,,,uidNumber,gidNumber user_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%u)) I haven't specified a dn or dnpass, since all I need is that dovecot perform an anonymous query for the uid, homeDirectory, uidNumber and gidNumber fields of its users, which are publically viewable. However, my FDS server's access log has entries like these: conn=3266227 fd=138 slot=138 connection from 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.0.2 conn=3266227 op=0 BIND dn="" method=128 version=3 conn=3266227 op=0 RESULT err=0 tag=97 nentries=0 etime=0 dn="" conn=3266227 op=1 SRCH base="ou=People,dc=duraflex,dc=com,dc=sv" scope=1 filter="(&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=dovecot))" attrs=ALL conn=3266227 op=1 RESULT err=0 tag=101 nentries=0 etime=0 conn=3266227 op=2 SRCH base="ou=Groups,dc=duraflex,dc=com,dc=sv" scope=1 filter="(&(objectClass=posixGroup)(memberUid=dovecot))" attrs="gidNumber" conn=3266227 op=2 RESULT err=0 tag=101 nentries=0 etime=0 conn=3266227 op=-1 fd=138 closed - B1 Dovecot binds anonimously with an empty dn, then queries FDS for a user and a group called dovecot (which don't exist on the DS), and finds 0 entries. Is it possible to access the user database through PAM (auth_userdb = pam)? Since I'm running the nss_ldap and pam_ldap modules, it'd really be an LDAP query for users, and a query in /etc/passwd and /etc/group for dovecot (since it's a local user and group on the mail server). -- Oscar A.

[Dovecot] auth problem with dovecot-1.0.beta5
by Alan McKay 09 Apr '06

09 Apr '06

Hey folks, Let me start by saying I really love what I see so far! Dovecot seems to be extremely feature-rich, and unlike a lot of free software the documentation is extremely good! I gave up on courier IMAP because of the poor documentation, and I have to say Dovecot sure differentiates itself in that area! Unfortunately I still can't get it going :-/ First thing I noticed is that --with-shadow does not appear to be working on my FreeBSD 6.0 system. Here is what I built with : ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-shared --enable-static --disable-ipv6 --with-ioloop =poll --with-passwd --with-shadow --with-pam --with-passwd-file --without-checkpassword --wit hout-bsdauth --without-gssapi --without-ldap --with-static-userdb --without-prefetch-userdb --without-sql --without-mysql --without-ssl --with-rundir=/var/run/dovecot --with-storages=mb ox --without-sql-drivers However : root@heimat# dovecot --build-options Build options: ioloop=poll Passdb: checkpassword pam passwd passwd-file vpopmail Userdb: checkpassword passwd passwd-file static vpopmail And when I try to include the shadow options in the config file I get this in the log file : Apr 8 17:07:38 heimat dovecot: auth(default): Unknown passdb driver 'shadow' (typo, or Dovecot was built without support for it? Check with dovecot --build-options) No big deal. I've never used PAM, but I'll have a go at it. My config file looks like this : base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/ protocols = imap listen = 127.0.0.1 ssl_disable = yes first_valid_uid = 1000 last_valid_uid = 2000 first_valid_gid = 1000 last_valid_gid = 2000 default_mail_env = mbox:~/IMAP/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u mail_extra_groups = mail protocol imap { } auth_executable = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-auth auth_username_chars = abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ01234567890 auth default { mechanisms = plain userdb passwd { } passdb pam { # args = session=yes * args = * } #passdb passwd { #} # /etc/shadow or similiar, using getspnam(). Deprecated by PAM nowadays. #passdb shadow { #} user = root } And I cannot get my webmail to auth. So I decided to "telnet localhost 143" and try typing the login command like the docs suggest. But here's what I get : telnet localhost 143 Trying ::1... telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.dmz.alanmckay.com. Escape character is '^]'. * OK Dovecot ready. LOGIN amckay XXXXXX LOGIN BAD Error in IMAP command received by server. Something tells me there is a big problem here :-/ Which brings me to my next question : is there a "latest stable" release? I didn't see anything obvious on the website. thanks! -Alan -- "True Budo is done for the sake of building peace.

[Dovecot] One dovecot, multiple addresses
by Nick Plante 09 Apr '06

09 Apr '06

There was a thread in February called "One dovecot, multiple domains" that I'd like to follow up on... I have a similar need; a hosted system with a couple IP aliases currently running dovecot for users at imap.domain1.com on one of those addresses. Now I need to also make it accessible via the name imap.domain2.com on a different address. Both "hosts" require SSL certs. They'll be using the same user auth source and have access to the same mailspools (although certain users will access theirs through domain1 and others through domain2). It sounds like dovecot doesn't support this sort of ip-based virtual hosting scheme right now. Is it possible to just configure two separate instances of the server, one bound to each virtual interface with their separate certs? Or are there issues with this poor man approach (contention, etc)? TIA; nap.

08 Apr '06

Maybe you guys seen this question a thousand times but really I can't find a solution. So is there anybody who can give me a direction or a clue to solve my problem. I configured my dovecot as follows: protocols = imap pop3 imaps pop3s login_chroot = yes login_user = dovecot auth_verbose = yes auth default { mechanisms = plain passdb passwd { args = /etc/passwd } userdb passwd { args = /etc/passwd } user = root } The maillog gives me that there is password mismatch, but I'm 100 % sure that the password is correct. I allso looked in my /etc/passwd file and the user is there. The user is all so able to login the Linux system. My system is Fedora redhat RC 5. Dovecot is v1.0.beta2.

[Dovecot] plain auth problem with beta4
by Mark Davies 08 Apr '06

08 Apr '06

Using kmail with PLAIN authentication worked fine with beta3 but trying it with beta4 authentication fails. This is because kmail sends "username \0 username \0 password" in the authorization token and the new code to call auth_request_set_login_username() when supplied an authid must be returning failure (certainly commenting this code out returns to the beta3 behaviour of successfully authenticating). I had a quick look at the routine to see why it might be failing but didn't really work out what its supposed to do. cheers mark

Re: [Dovecot] batch convert mbox to maildir

I did not use the the libc-client Perl bindings...sorry. I used a modified version of mb2md-3.20. It was pretty simple really. If you'd like to look at/dowload the source please visit: http://svn.dcs.it.mtu.edu/email.mtu.edu/convert_tools/tags/mb2md-release-4.… (I have my own release numbers for the whole system I wrapped around mb2md). Not a lot of documentation and there is a lot that is specific to my site, but it shouldn't be too hard to decipher and you can always ask me questions, though I'm going to take a well earned next 2 days off. If anyone is interested, the conversion we just performed has been in place for ~5 days now. Only a handful of the ~30,000 users we converted noticed we even did anything (except performance) is better (this was in large part due to the UIDL code I added to mb2md).

[Dovecot] Overriding inbox location in passwd-like file
by Václav Haisman 05 Apr '06

05 Apr '06

Hi, I have some real users and some virtual users. The real users use mbox file as their inbox. But I'd like to use Maildir as inbox for the virtual users. (The reason is that I am actually moving some accounts from another server that already uses Maildir.) I'd like Dovecot to find Maildir in $HOME of my virtual users as their inbox. So I tried to use the following in my users.passwd file: test:{PLAIN}some_password:30003:30003::/home/vmail/domain/test:/bin/false::maildir:%h/Maildir/:INBOX=maildir:%h/Maildir/ Unfortunatelly this doesn't work and dies with this message: Mar 8 16:44:25 logout dovecot: imap(test): Ambiguous mail location setting, don't know what to do with it: /home/vmail/isc.cvut.cz/test/mbox (try prefixing it with mbox: or maildir:) Mar 8 16:44:25 logout dovecot: imap(test): Failed to create storage for '' with data: /home/vmail/isc.cvut.cz/test/mbox Mar 8 16:44:25 logout dovecot: child 41976 (imap) returned error 89 Is it even possible to override the setting from dovecot.conf like this?

[Dovecot] C programmers, please help. need dovecot patch
by Adam M. Dunn 05 Apr '06

05 Apr '06

Hi all. Can any C programmers out there tell me how to fix Dovecot to default to Maildir format when autodecting can't find anything? I don't know C, but it seems like it would be a simple thing. Right now, I use the autodetect mailbox feature because we want users to choose to optionally be able to use Mbox format (we have some diehard unix users with non-maildir clients). I have Maildrop setup to check for the existance of a ~/Maildir folder in the user's home, and if it exists, it delivers there. Otherwise it falls back to ~/Mail where mbox style files go. The problem with Dovecot is there is no way to tell the autodetect feature what to default to, and if it can't find anything, it automatically creates a folder called ~/mail under the user's home and primes it with an Mbox file, but I'd rather it create a ~/Maildir instead. So if we have for example, a new user with no mail yet, and they log in via IMAP before getting any mail from maildrop, Dovecot will create a them a ~/mail folder. So when they DO get mail, our maildrop filters will think they are an Mbox user. I could do some fancy Maildrop filters to fix that when they get their first mail, but in the meantime the unknowing user could try creating things via IMAP that gets overwritten. Anyway, it would be much cleaner if Dovecot just did what I wanted. If anyone could point me to the place to patch my copy of Dovecot, I would GREATLY apprecieate it. I don't know C, but I know many other languages. I would also like to see this be added via the config file in future releases. So consider this a feature request. Not only that, but more control over the autodetection process in general would be REALLY nice. Thanks. Adam

[Dovecot] Setting a Default Domain
by Richard Laager 05 Apr '06

05 Apr '06

I'm working on migrating to Dovecot. At the moment, I have a mail path that includes the domain, so I'm using %d to get that. However, if users authenticate without specifying a domain (i.e. using "bob" instead of "bob(a)wiktel.com"), then %d expands to nothing. I'd like to have that expand to a default domain (wiktel.com) instead. Is that possible? Thanks, Richard

[Dovecot] 1.0.beta4 released
by Timo Sirainen 04 Apr '06

04 Apr '06

I haven't had yet time to read all the mails in this list which I skipped in the last few of weeks. I'll try to get to them eventually. This release contains several new features which haven't been fully tested yet, such as ACLs, master users and Maildir++ quota. If you intend to use them, test them properly first. This is the first Dovecot release where it's supposed to work well with NFS. Even with indexes being stored in NFS. I was able to test it only with Linux 2.4 kernels as clients though, and it didn't work well in a stress test. It looked like the problem was caused by the kernel caching the data a bit too much. Hopefully I can test soon with 2.6 kernels. Also note the other changes which might affect you. Especially if you're using Dovecot-LDA remember to upgrade it as well to make sure the default lock_method gets updated in it also. As for the future, it looks like I'm getting soon paid to develop several features to improve Dovecot's performance (by the company which already paid for ACLs, NFS fixes and many other changes in this release, thanks!). * Changed the default lock_method back to fcntl. Apparently flock gives problems with some systems. * mbox: mailboxes beginning with '.' are now also listed * Replaced mail_use_modules and mail_modules settings with mail_plugins and mail_plugin_dir. Now instead of loading all plugins from the directory, you'll have to give a list of plugins to load. If the plugin couldn't be loaded, the process exits instead of just ignoring the problem (this is important with ACL plugin). + Added support for "master users" who can log in as other people. The master username can be given either in authorization ID string with SASL PLAIN mechanism or by setting auth_master_user_separator and giving it within the normal username string. + Added ACL plugin with ACL file backend. This however doesn't mean that there yet exists a proper shared folder support. If master user logged in as someone else, the ACLs are checked as the master user. + Added some Dovecot extensions to checkpassword passdb, see ChangeLog + Updated passwd-file format to allow specifying any key=value fields + Maildir++ quota support and several quota fixes + passdb supporting extra fields: Added "allow_nets" option which takes a comma separated list of IPs/networks where to allow user to log in. + NFS: Handle ESTALE errors the best way we can + IMAP now writes to log when client disconnects + In shared mailboxes (if dovecot-shared file exists) \Seen flags are now kept only in index files, so as long as each user has a separate index file they have separate \Seen flags. - Fixes to DIGEST-MD5 realm handling so it works with more clients - BODYSTRUCTURE -> BODY conversion from cache file was broken with mails containing message/rfc822 parts. - Fixed several memory leaks - We could have sent client FETCH notifications about messages before telling about them with EXISTS - Compiling fixes for Solaris and some other OSes - Fixed problem with internal timeout handling code, which caused eg. outlook-idle workaround to break. - If /dev/urandom didn't exist, we didn't seed OpenSSL's random number generator properly. Patch by Vilmos Nebehaj. - Maildir: Recent flags weren't always immediately removed from mails when mailbox was opened. - Several changes to SSL proxying code, hopefully making it work better.

[Dovecot] Dovecot 1.0beta4 and Disconnected Problem
by Gerhard Wiesinger 04 Apr '06

04 Apr '06

Hello! Yesterday I upgraded from 1.0beta3 to 1.0beta4. I've major problems now with my inbox (quite large, 900MB) and another large folder. Thunderbird 1.5 connects and disconnects. I tried to delete the indexes of dovecot and thunderbird without any sucess. Finally I downgraded to 1.0beta3 and it works well again (Beta3 was running for a timeframe from when it came out and now without any problems). Config is the same as for 1.0beta3.
