[Dovecot] Getting NTLM authentication for Postfix SMTP clients to work
by Matthew Larsen 22 Jun '13

22 Jun '13

I'm trying to get NTLM authentication working with Dovecot to authenticate Postfix SMTP clients. I can authenticate postfix smtp clients using the plain text login mechanism through winbind. However, using the NTLM mechanism gives me an error in my maillog that says: "dovecot: auth: winbind(?,10.20.2.0): user not authenticated: NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL". At this point, I'm rather stuck. It appears PAM and winbind work for authenticating with AD because it works with the plain text mechanism, but I'm missing something with the NTLM authentication method. Any suggestions as to what I've got wrong, or other logging I can turn up / examine that might shed some light on this? When I use the LOGIN mechanism I see this in the mail logging and the message is relayed: Jun 21 13:12:58 SBSMTPNV05 postfix/smtpd[1501]: connect from nvit01b.mydomain.com[10.20.2.**0] Jun 21 13:12:58 SBSMTPNV05 dovecot: auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=1501) Jun 21 13:12:58 SBSMTPNV05 dovecot: auth: Debug: client in: AUTH#0111#011PLAIN#011service=**smtp#011nologin#011lip=10.20.**4 .12#011rip=10.20.2.0#011resp=**AG[...snip...]g== Jun 21 13:12:58 SBSMTPNV05 dovecot: auth: Debug: pam(myusername,10.20.2.0): lookup service=dovecot Jun 21 13:12:58 SBSMTPNV05 dovecot: auth: Debug: pam(myusername,10.20.2.0): #1/1 style=1 msg=Password: Jun 21 13:12:58 SBSMTPNV05 dovecot: auth: Debug: client out: OK#0111#011user=myusername Jun 21 13:12:58 SBSMTPNV05 postfix/smtpd[1501]: 54EAF8059B: client= nvit01b.mydomain.com[**10.20.2.0], sasl_method=PLAIN, sasl_username=myusername Jun 21 13:12:58 SBSMTPNV05 postfix/cleanup[1504]: 54EAF8059B: message-id=< 51C4B3C8.30008(a)**domain1.com <51C4B3C8.30008(a)domain1.com>> Jun 21 13:12:58 SBSMTPNV05 postfix/qmgr[1499]: 54EAF8059B: from=< someone(a)domain1.com>, size=2700, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Jun 21 13:12:58 SBSMTPNV05 postfix/smtpd[1501]: disconnect from nvit01b.mydomain.com[10.20.2.**0] Jun 21 13:12:59 SBSMTPNV05 postfix/smtp[1505]: 54EAF8059B: to=< someone(a)gmail.com>, relay=gmail-smtp-in.l.google.**com<http://gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com/>[74.125.25.27]:25, delay=1.2, delays=0.23/0.04/0.16/0.72, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 OK 1371845579 wf5si3786287pab.138 - gsmtp) Jun 21 13:12:59 SBSMTPNV05 postfix/qmgr[1499]: 54EAF8059B: removed I also see this in the secure log: Jun 21 13:12:58 SBSMTPNV05 auth: pam_unix(dovecot:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=dovecot ruser=myusername rhost=10.20.2.0 user=myusername Jun 21 13:12:58 SBSMTPNV05 auth: pam_winbind(dovecot:auth): getting password (0x00000010) Jun 21 13:12:58 SBSMTPNV05 auth: pam_winbind(dovecot:auth): pam_get_item returned a password Jun 21 13:12:58 SBSMTPNV05 auth: pam_winbind(dovecot:auth): user 'myusername' granted access Jun 21 13:12:58 SBSMTPNV05 auth: pam_winbind(dovecot:account): user 'myusername' granted access However, when I switch the mechanism to NTLM in the Thurnderbird MUA I see this: Jun 21 13:15:46 SBSMTPNV05 postfix/smtpd[1506]: connect from nvit01b.mydomain.com[10.20.2.**0] Jun 21 13:15:46 SBSMTPNV05 dovecot: auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth Jun 21 13:15:46 SBSMTPNV05 dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/**libauthdb_ldap.so Jun 21 13:15:46 SBSMTPNV05 dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/**libdriver_sqlite.so Jun 21 13:15:46 SBSMTPNV05 dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/**libmech_gssapi.so Jun 21 13:15:46 SBSMTPNV05 dovecot: auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=1506) Jun 21 13:15:46 SBSMTPNV05 dovecot: auth: Debug: client in: AUTH#0111#011NTLM#011service=**smtp#011nologin#011lip=10.20.**4. 12#011rip=10.20.2.0#011resp=**TlRMT[...snip...]A= Jun 21 13:15:46 SBSMTPNV05 dovecot: auth: Debug: client out: CONT#0111#011TlRMT[[...snip...**]A Jun 21 13:15:46 SBSMTPNV05 dovecot: auth: Debug: client in: CONT#0111#011TlRMT[...snip...]**A= Jun 21 13:15:46 SBSMTPNV05 dovecot: auth: winbind(?,10.20.2.0): user not authenticated: NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL Jun 21 13:15:48 SBSMTPNV05 postfix/smtpd[1506]: warning: nvit01b.mydomain.com[10.20.2.**0]: SASL NTLM authentication failed: TlRMT[...snip...]A Jun 21 13:15:48 SBSMTPNV05 dovecot: auth: Debug: client out: FAIL#0111 Jun 21 13:15:49 SBSMTPNV05 postfix/smtpd[1506]: disconnect from nvit01b.mydomain.com[10.20.2.**0] with nothing in the secure log and I don't see anything show up in the winbind logs either.

[Dovecot] Sieve Plugin Setup
by Denny Jones 22 Jun '13

22 Jun '13

I've got an existing setup that I want to add Sieve filtering to. I'm on QmailToaster: qmailadmin-toaster-1.2.16-1.4.0 I using Dovecot version 2.0.11 I'm looking for a good tutorial for installing Sieve Rules functionality on an existing system. Anybody know of one? Anybody else done this? Do I just install the latest Dovecot-sieve plugin release with wget, etc? What kind of configuration can I expect to have to go through. Do I have to reconfigure Dovecot to work in conjunction with the Sieve plugin? I'm hoping to find someone else has done this that can help me navigate the waters so-to-speak. Thanks in advance, Denny

Have you also checked the environment variables? I think dovecot-lda gets some information from them. Also, it's possible the PATH or some other critical environment variables is different, causing the difference in outcome. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

[Dovecot] Would attempting plaintext auth repeatably cause a DOS and server to crash?
by Hugh Davenport 21 Jun '13

21 Jun '13

Hey All, I'm just wondering whether this is what caused my server to crash. Started last night in NZ land. Jun 20 19:22:11 elm dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (tried to use disallowed plaintext auth): user=<>, rip=attackerip, lip=10.0.0.3, session=<0C8LzpDfZQDINsQC> occasionally get Jun 20 19:22:52 elm dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts in 1 secs): user=<>, rip=attackerip, lip=10.0.0.3, session=<bHdz0JDfpwDINsQC> or in 0 secs last at Jun 20 19:26:24 elm dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (tried to use disallowed plaintext auth): user=<>, rip=attackerip, lip=10.0.0.3, session=<1MUR3ZDfcwDINsQC> and a minute later the server lost contact to the world. When I checked a bit later, the underlying host machine (dovecot runs on a VM (KVM)) had been powered off. Now, here in NZ land, there was also a crazy storm last night, and lots of brown outs. There could potentially of been a surge that killed it, but the UPS was still running fine when I started it again. The "attack" lasted around 4 minutes, in which there was 1161 lines in the log for a single attacker ip, and no other similar logs previously. Would this be enough to kill not only the VM running dovecot, but the underlying host machine? All up to date with patches, running debian stable (wheezy). dovecot-core debian package version 1:2.1.7-7 dovecot version 2.1.7 I notice there is a version 2.2.3 out, but not in debian yet. Could this fix this issue? I don't particularly want to have it happen again :D. Any thoughts? Cheers, Hugh

[Dovecot] Allowing clients to test their Sieve scripts
by Frerich Raabe 21 Jun '13

21 Jun '13

Hi, One thing which came up repeatedly is that clients using the IMAP server I run (using Dovecot 2.1) wonder whether they broke their Sieve scripts, i.e. it often goes like "I don't know whether I just didn't receive any mail, or whether my filters broke. Can you check the logs?". I then usually just run the sieve-test binary (part of the Pigeonhole distribution) and send them the output. However, I was wondering - is there maybe a way for them to try it themselves? Like, maybe a tiny web server which just prints a form asking for a mail file and a sieve script, and then it runs sieve-script and prints the output of that? I wonder how other people do that. -- Frerich Raabe - raabe(a)froglogic.com www.froglogic.com - Multi-Platform GUI Testing

[Dovecot] Patch for pigeonhole 0.4.0 avoiding PATH_MAX
by Svante Signell 19 Jun '13

19 Jun '13

Hi, I recently downloaded and built dovecot-2.2.2 and dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.0 on GNU/Linux and GNU/Hurd. The changes needed will be sent to the Debian maintainer shortly. Latest Debian release is 2.1.7-7 and dovecot-2.1-pigeonhole-0.3.1. When building dovecot-2.2.2 there were no PATH_MAX problems on GNU/Hurd, thank you for that. However, pigeonhole 0.4.0 had one remaining PATH_MAX construct. The attached patch solves this problem. It it good enough to be accepted upstream? (According to the description of t_malloc, free is not needed, right?) Thanks, Svante Signell

[Dovecot] A common, read-only IMAP INBOX for all accounts
by Gus 19 Jun '13

19 Jun '13

Hi, since I had no luck finding people available on IRC, I hope someone here can provide me with some answers to, hopefully, 2 simple questions (and have the solution recorded in the archives for everyone with the same need). A little background, as the subject says it - I want to have a single INBOX shared among all the accounts on my system, where only one account would have writing rights, and all the rest would only be able to read the messages. Note this is different than providing a shared mailbox in addition to an INBOX - I actually want the shared INBOX to be the one and only folder that users can see and read as they will not be receiving any personal mails on this system. Naturally, I would also want that each account keeps track of read/unread messages independently of others. So, this is what I came up with (showing the relevant part of configuration only): # Per-user mail root and private/shared INBOX namespace userdb { driver = static args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/var/vmail/users/%u } namespace { type = private separator = / prefix = location = maildir:/var/vmail/public:INDEX=~/public inbox = yes } # The ACL contents of /var/vmail/public/dovecot-acl user=admin lrwstipekx anyone lrs Now, this actually results in exactly what I want (apart from a problem I'll describe below), but I'm not sure if it's the right way to do it. So the questions: 1. I have doubts that this solution could cause problems with dot file locking or dovecot data files corruption in the /var/vmail/public mailbox/directory when multiple users access the box simultaneously (and this could be thousands of users in production). Is this a valid concern and have I gone completely wrong with this solution, or there should be no problem with locking and I can keep it this way? If this is not the way to do it, can someone advise on the proper configuration that would achieve the same result, if it's possible at all (or what are the alternatives if it can't be done). 2. For testing purposes, I used a perl script (using the Maildir::Lite module) to create a test message in this mailbox (it gets stored in the new/ subdirectory, as I suppose it should). Now this message shows up as "unread" for all accounts, however when I read it in an IMAP client and then refresh the mailbox, it shows up as unread again. Per-user INDEX directory is writable and I see some files created there by dovecot, so shouldn't they contain the \Seen flags that indicate the message has been read? Is this maybe a client problem and how can I check that dovecot actually saves the flag correctly? The dovecot version I'm using is 2.0.9 (from the CentOS 6.x repositories). Thanks in advance and kind regards, Tin

Hello, Dovecot keeps crashing at login time. Things were fine on 2.2.2 Fatal: master: service(imap): child 5014 killed with signal 11 Here is the trace: Core was generated by `imap'.

[Dovecot] dovecot creating unknown users
by Yann Shukor 19 Jun '13

19 Jun '13

Hi We recently installed a dovecot postfix roundcube debian wheezy serverIt is now in production and we are feeling our way as we progressivelyadd new users to this local server. I noticed that dovecot is creating user directory structures for unknown users withinour domain in /var/vmail, even though we have setup a static users.conf db file. I tried omiting the "allow_all_users=yes" parameter but that doesn't seem to be linked to this issue Sorry if this has been asked a number of times already Is there an easy way to search the archives of this mailinglist ? Thanks yann # 2.2.2 (45399357008a): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.2.0-4-686-pae i686 Debian 7.0 ext4 auth_debug = yes auth_mechanisms = plain login auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb auth_verbose = yes disable_plaintext_auth = no first_valid_gid = 5000 first_valid_uid = 5000 hostname = holimail.holinice.com last_valid_gid = 5000 last_valid_uid = 5000 listen = * mail_debug = yes mail_gid = vmail mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir mail_privileged_group = mail mail_uid = vmail managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date ihave namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = subscriptions = yes } passdb { args = scheme=CRAM-MD5 /etc/dovecot/users.conf driver = passwd-file } passdb { driver = pam } plugin { sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve } postmaster_address = azurtem(a)holinice.com protocols = " imap sieve pop3" service auth-worker { user = $default_internal_user } service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0666 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-userdb { group = vmail mode = 0600 user = vmail } } service imap-login { group = dovecot inet_listener imap { port = 143 } inet_listener imaps { port = 993 ssl = yes } } service imap { process_limit = 1024 } service pop3-login { inet_listener pop3 { port = 110 } inet_listener pop3s { port = 995 ssl = yes } } service pop3 { process_limit = 1024 } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { args = uid=5000 gid=5000 home=/var/vmail/%d/%n allow_all_users=yes driver = static } userdb { driver = passwd } protocol lda { mail_plugins = " sieve" }

[Dovecot] v2.2.3 released
by Timo Sirainen 18 Jun '13

18 Jun '13

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.3.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.3.tar.gz.sig This is a pretty important upgrade for v2.2 users, because of the IMAP ENVELOPE reply fix. * LDA/LMTP: If new mail delivery first fails with "temporary failure", tempfail the whole delivery instead of falling back to delivering the mail to INBOX. (Requires new Pigeonhole as well.) * doc/solr-schema.xml was updated to Solr v4.x format. Also the default analyzers were changed, hopefully for the better. Note that the schema can't be changed for existing Solr indexes without rebuilding everything. * Solr plugin does only soft commits from now on. You'll need a cronjob to send a hard commit command to it every few minutes. + Added %N modifier for variables as %H-like "new hash" + sdbox, mdbox: Support POP3 message order field (for migrations) + Added mailbox { driver } to specify a different mail storage format for the mailbox than generally used within the namespace. + Added initial lib-sasl library for client side SASL support. Currently supports only PLAIN, LOGIN and plugins. Used currently by IMAP and POP3 proxying when authenticating to the remote server. - IMAP: If subject contained only whitespace, Dovecot returned an ENVELOPE reply with a huge literal value, effectively causing the IMAP client to wait for more data forever. - IMAP: Various URLAUTH fixes. - imapc: Various bugfixes and improvements - pop3c: Various fixes to make it work in dsync (without imapc) - dsync: Fixes to syncing subscriptions. Fixes to syncing mailbox renames.

[Dovecot] Mailbox conversion/importing
by Alan Brown 18 Jun '13

18 Jun '13

I've been tasked with importing a large bunch of mbox folders (about 500) into an existing mdbox setup in Dovecot 2.1 As far as I can see, dsync "mirror" or "backup" are both inappropriate ways of doing this. Does anyone have any suggestions about how I could proceed? Thanks in advance

[Dovecot] Problem redirecting email using pigeonhole 0.4.0 (with patch)
by Andriy Syrovenko 18 Jun '13

18 Jun '13

Hello, Starting from the version 0.4.0 Pigeonhole adds "X-Sieve" and "X-Sieve-Redirected-From" headers ending them with CR+LF, and then copies the original message (including original headers) ending the lines with LF-only. This causes troubles at least if using Exim (I have not checked with other MTAs)- original message gets dropped, and only the new pigeonhole-generated headers are sent out. The attached file fixed the problem for me. --- dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.0.orig/src/lib-sieve/cmd-redirect.c 2013-04-07 01:57:26.000000000 +0300 +++ dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.0/src/lib-sieve/cmd-redirect.c 2013-06-05 03:22:53.000000000 +0300 @@ -344,9 +344,9 @@ string_t *hdr = t_str_new(256); /* Prepend sieve headers (should not affect signatures) */ - rfc2822_header_write(hdr, "X-Sieve", SIEVE_IMPLEMENTATION); + rfc2822_header_append(hdr, "X-Sieve", SIEVE_IMPLEMENTATION, FALSE, NULL); if ( recipient != NULL ) - rfc2822_header_write(hdr, "X-Sieve-Redirected-From", recipient); + rfc2822_header_append(hdr, "X-Sieve-Redirected-From", recipient, FALSE, NULL); o_stream_send(output, str_data(hdr), str_len(hdr)); } T_END; Best regards, Andrey.

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.2.2: doveadm user doesn't honor -x option
by Axel Luttgens 17 Jun '13

17 Jun '13

Hello, 1. Considering a user_query similar to this one: SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE CASE '%s' WHEN 'lmtp' THEN ... and issuing following command: doveadm user -x service=lmtp someuser(a)example.com the log shows: SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE CASE 'doveadm' WHEN 'lmtp' THEN ... and the query of course fails. The same config with Dovecot 2.1.16 yields expected results. 2. This is more a question. Issuing above command first writes this to the log: prefetch(someuser(a)example.com): passdb didn't return userdb entries, trying the next userdb Is there really an attempt to make use of the prefetch database? If yes, under which circumstances could it succeed? TIA, Axel

[Dovecot] Trash plugin
by Jason Pfingstmann 17 Jun '13

17 Jun '13

Hello all! I tried to post this earlier today, but it's stuck in a moderator queue for being too long, so here's a shorter version (mod, please delete the pending message from me, if you read this). I'm new to dovecot and just finished setting everything up. It's a postfix + dovecot + myql + spamassassin + postgrey virtual mail server. The issue I'm having (1 of 2) is that the Trash plugin isn't working, over-quota mail is being rejected despite a large piece that would bring it under quota with room to spare for the piece being delivered that is in the Trash folder. My configs (postconf -n, doveconf -n, trash.conf): http://pastebin.com/vFJ0rfZ6 It may be unrelated, but it seems postgrey isn't running either, but maybe those are partially tied together? Thanks for all your help! Jason Pfingstmann

[Dovecot] Trash plugin
by Jason Pfingstmann 17 Jun '13

17 Jun '13

Hello! This is my first dovecot install, which I put together by mixing and matching pieces of various online howtos (fortunately, Dovecot doesn't seem to be overly complex - a big plus). I've got it mostly working, but the trash plugin doesn't seem to be working right. Below are configs and some logs. Any thoughts? Also, any suggestions regarding my configuration? I can post other items for troubleshooting if they'd be helpful. -Jason Pfingstmann Here's my doveconf -n: # 2.0.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-358.6.2.el6.x86_64 x86_64 CentOS

[Dovecot] Transparent IMAP proxy
by Yonatan Broza 16 Jun '13

16 Jun '13

Hi, I'm considering patching Dovecot to work as a transparent (and virus scanning) IMAP proxy. What is the appropriate feature to extend? (I've considered the following: IMAPC and reverse proxying, with IMAPC looking more promising since it actually parses IMAP communication). Can anyone who is familiar with the IMAPC code recommend what are the most appropriate locations in the code to make the required changes? (I've considered hooking the storage virtual functions and making the settings local rather than global - but would appreciate more specific ideas). Thanks.

[Dovecot] Multiple user sharing a single mailbox
by Jonathon Price 16 Jun '13

16 Jun '13

I'm designing a system where some but not all groups of users want to share a single mailbox, i.e the user will not have there own inbox. I think this is possible by setting up a user database that returns the same mail location and possible the same home directory. This sharing would only occur in a single domain. Example User Database UserID | home | mail all(a)site1.example.com | /mail/home/site1.example.com/all | /mail/mailstorage/site1.example.com/all user1(a)site1.example.com | /mail/home/site1.example.com/user1| /mail/mailstorage/ site1.example.com/all user2(a)site1.example.com | /mail/home/site1.example.com/user2| /mail/mailstorage/ site1.example.com/all user1(a)site2.example.com | /mail/home/site2.example.com/user1| /mail/mailstorage/ site2.example.com/user1 user2(a)site2.example.com | /mail/home/site2.example.com/user2| /mail/mailstorage/ site2.example.com/user2 In this example all of site1.example.com users share a single mailbox, and site2.example.com users each have there own mailbox. Should the home directory also be shared, I read the comment that they should never be shared but wasn't sure if that still applied when the mailbox is the same path. For groups that are sharing a mailbox there would likely be a relatively low number of users concurrently logged in, say less than 10. For clustering we are currently limited to NFS mail storage. I was planning on using director setup so that the hashing/sharding is performed on the domain only, so all users for a domain will end up on a single node. At this stage clustering is mainly for high availability not performances. Lastly I'm concerned about possible issues with locking on the mailbox files and indexes. Will one of the mail formats reduces this risk, we can use any format as all mail will be written by Dovecot. Would giving each user there own index location help? and I assume this would mean that each user would see there own flags like read status? Does this setup sound ok, are there aspects that should change? thanks, Jon

[Dovecot] [Dovcot 2.2.2] Q: Prequisits for compiling and plugins
by Christoph Hintermüller 16 Jun '13

16 Jun '13

Hi Where can i find the list of prerequisites for compiling dovocot 2.2.2 form the sources, is there a dedicated link or what terms i should best use to search the archives of this mailing list, the documentation or the web? Where do I find information (links or search terms) whether plugins available for 1.x 2.1.x series, especially the metadata plugin, are still needed for 2.2.2 or may even be harmful for 2.2.2 as built in. Documentation on Dovecot webpage is rather sparse and not really conclusive concerning metadata plugin within 2.x series. On my Ubuntu 12.X systems i still find it for 2.1.x but I have difficulties to understand whether there exist a version for 2.2.X series, if this is equal to the one for 2.1.X or whether it is not needed any more for 2.2.X series. Further what libraries would be required. Greetings Christoph

[Dovecot] MULTIAPPEND + literal8 issue
by Michael M Slusarz 16 Jun '13

16 Jun '13

Background: importing a mbox file containing ~700 messages (20 MB). Our program splits MULTIAPPENDS into approx. 5MB chunks. We don't use literal+ in order to immediately catch errors. I can reproducibly produce the following error (2.2.2) when doing a MULTIAPPEND where every append is using literal8: [...340 messages appended in 7 previous APPEND commands...] C: 10 APPEND Test "16-Dec-2011 17:19:46 -0700" ~{3128} [...~30 APPENDed messages...] C: "18-Jan-2012 12:38:21 -0700" ~{2893} S: + OK [...2893 octets of data...] C: "18-Jan-2012 22:09:41 -0700" ~{6492} S: 10 BAD Error in IMAP command APPEND: Expected '{' S: 492} BAD Error in IMAP command : Unknown command. This error occurs about 340 messages in. If I switch to using regular literals, this error does not occur. I can verify that neither the 12:38:21 message nor the 22:09:41 message alone is broken (I can put just these two in a file and import and it is successful). I can provide the mbox file privately, if needed. michael

[Dovecot] rawlog without setting home in userdb
by Claus 16 Jun '13

16 Jun '13

Hi all, in my settup i decided to set mail_home in 10-mail.conf, and let dovecot do the hashing to a 2-level directory structure. mail_location = mdbox:~/mdbox:ALT=/altstorage/%h/mdbox mail_home = /vmail/%1Mu/%2.1Mu/%u In my userdb ist homedirectory not set and everythink works as expected, except when i use rawlog i get only logs in ~/dovecot.rawlog if home is set in userdb. In wiki http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Debugging/Rawlog it reads: If you don't have the home directory and you can't or don't want to modify userdb configuration, you can add: mail_home = /home/%u # or temporarily even e.g. mail_home = /tmp/temp-home Can you tell me, if my problem is the hashing-configuration or anything else?

[Dovecot] dovecot creating unknown users
by Yann Shukor 16 Jun '13

16 Jun '13

Hi We recently installed a dovecot postfix roundcube debian wheezy serverIt is now in production and we are feeling our way as we progressivelyadd new users to this local server. I noticed that dovecot is creating user directory structures for unknown users withinour domain in /var/vmail, even though we have setup a static users.conf db file. I tried omiting the "allow_all_users=yes" parameter but that doesn't seem to be linked to this issue Sorry if this has been asked a number of times already Is there an easy way to search the archives of this mailinglist ?

[Dovecot] Turn off IMAPS?

Hi I've upgraded to 2.1.7 and finally decided to turn off imaps and pop3s because these days everyone uses tls over 143 anyway. But it's on and I can't figure out why.

[Dovecot] Auto-responder to handle unencrypted (and/or unsigned) email messages whose origin is not localhost
by Ben Johnson 15 Jun '13

15 Jun '13

Hi, everyone, I'm surprised how little exists on the Internet regarding this particular subject. Given the recent headlines, that is about to change, I'm sure. I have a need to send an automated response to all senders who attempt to send unencrypted and/or unsigned email to a specific mailbox on my system. (Messages originating from localhost should be exempt.) I would like for the auto-reply to include a customized message with the appropriate public PGP key contained therein. Has anyone accomplished this? If not, some basic theory as to how one might go about achieving this would be greatly appreciated. Perhaps this is a job for Dovecot's "sieve_before" directive. Would this simply be a matter of checking the message body for the expected patterns, e.g., starts with "----- BEGIN PGP MESSAGE -----", etc., etc. and sending an automated reply with the public key if the expected strings are not present? Any additional thoughts would be very helpful! Thank you in advance, -Ben

[Dovecot] Pam authentication failure message but it works

I am running Centos 6.4 64bit. Dovecot 2.0.9 I am getting the following messages in /var/log/secure, which looks like the pam authentication is not working but the users are allowed to login and the system works great.

[Dovecot] Autocreation the home folder
by Joan 14 Jun '13

14 Jun '13

Sorry if this has been already asked, but I haven't been able to find a solution, I am trying to migrate a dovecot 1.2 config to 2.1, the 'dovecot -n > dovecot.conf' migrated all the setup without issues, and the mail is working as expected. The only issue I've had is with the change with the mail_location, mail_home, that in the 2.1 versions can't be on the same path. After reading in the wiki the various config options ( http://wiki2.dovecot.org/VirtualUsers/Home) I opted to use the 3rd: Home directory under mail, for example: Maildir: home=/var/vmail/domain/user/home/ mail=/var/vmail/domain/user/ mbox: There's really no good and safe way to do it. So I changed from: mail_location = maildir:/home/vmail/%d/%n mail_home = /var/vmail/%d/%n To: mail_location = maildir:/home/vmail/%d/%n mail_home = /var/vmail/%d/%n/home The problem is that those home directories are not created (the mailboxes already existed) automatically, and I am getting these errors: ========================================================== May 10 17:08:59 server dovecot: lda(username(a)example.com): Debug: Home dir not found: /var/vmail/example.com/username/home May 10 17:08:59 server dovecot: lda(username(a)example.com): Debug: Quota root: name=User quota backend=maildir args= May 10 17:08:59 server dovecot: lda(username(a)example.com): Debug: Quota rule: root=User quota mailbox=* bytes=20480000000 messages=0 May 10 17:08:59 server dovecot: lda(username(a)example.com): Debug: Quota rule: root=User quota mailbox=Trash ignored May 10 17:08:59 server dovecot: lda(username(a)example.com): Debug: Quota warning: bytes=15360000000 (75%) messages=0 reverse=no command=/etc/dovecot/quota-warning.sh 75 May 10 17:08:59 server dovecot: lda(username(a)example.com): Debug: Quota warning: bytes=17408000000 (85%) messages=0 reverse=no command=/etc/dovecot/quota-warning.sh 85 May 10 17:08:59 server dovecot: lda(username(a)example.com): Debug: maildir++: root=/home/vmail/example.com/username, index=, control=, inbox=/home/vmail/example.com/username, alt= May 10 17:08:59 server dovecot: lda(username(a)example.com): Debug: Quota root: name=User quota backend=maildir args= May 10 17:08:59 server dovecot: lda(username(a)example.com): Debug: Quota rule: root=User quota mailbox=* bytes=1073741824 messages=0 May 10 17:08:59 server dovecot: lda(username(a)example.com): Debug: Quota warning: bytes=805306368 (75%) messages=0 reverse=no command=/etc/dovecot/quota-warning.sh 75 ======================================================== Am I supposed to create the folders via an external script?

[Dovecot] dovecot segfaults after upgrade
by Thomas Blomenkamp 14 Jun '13

14 Jun '13

Using dovecot on debian oldstable (squeeze) with daily builded repository, after an upgrade this morning, dovecot always shows the following error: 2013 Jun 10 11:07:22 mailstore imap(tblomenk): Fatal: master: service(imap): child 3016 killed with signal 11 (core dumps disabled) Jun 10 11:07:22 mailstore kernel: [ 1589.400741] imap[3016]: segfault at 7fffd9048ff8 ip 00007f91417e2c3b sp 00007fffd9049000 error 6 in libdovecot.so.0.0.0[7f9141796000+bc000] Please notice: I can reproduce the error by trying to access my mailbox with alpine or mutt, while alpine only can access my inbox. If I try to access my other folders, the error happens. Mutt always closes the connection after trying to login. It is a little bit strange because with a newer client like roundcube I can access all my folders successfully. In all kernel error messages it seems that error 6 in libdovecot.so.0.0.0[7f9141796000+bc000] is always the same. Also notice that dovecot is still running, it is just that you cannot access other folders than your inbox with pine. mailstore:~# dovecot --version 2.2.2 (45399357008a) mailstore:~# dovecot -n # 2.2.2 (45399357008a): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf doveconf: Warning: service auth { client_limit=1000 } is lower than required under max. load (1324) doveconf: Warning: service anvil { client_limit=1000 } is lower than required under max. load (1227) # OS: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 x86_64 Debian 6.0.7 auth_debug = yes auth_gssapi_hostname = mailstore.math.uni-bielefeld.de auth_mechanisms = plain login auth_username_format = %n auth_verbose = yes lmtp_save_to_detail_mailbox = yes log_timestamp = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S " login_greeting = Hi, the IMAP Mail-System on mailstore.math.uni-bielefeld.de is ready. login_log_format_elements = user=<%u> method=%m rip=%r lip=%l %c mail_location = mdbox:~/mdbox mail_plugins = acl mail_privileged_group = mail managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date ihave spamtest spamtestplus imapflags notify namespace { list = children location = mdbox:%%h/mdbox prefix = shared/%%u/ separator = / subscriptions = no type = shared } namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { auto = subscribe special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Sent { auto = subscribe special_use = \Sent } mailbox Spam { auto = subscribe special_use = \Junk } mailbox Trash { auto = subscribe special_use = \Trash } prefix = separator = / type = private } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf driver = ldap } plugin { acl = vfile acl_shared_dict = file:/var/lib/dovecot/shared-mailboxes.db mail_log_events = delete undelete expunge copy mailbox_delete mailbox_rename mail_log_fields = uid box msgid size mail_log_group_events = no quota = maildir:User quota quota_rule = *:storage=0 sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve sieve_extensions = +imapflags +notify +spamtest +spamtestplus sieve_spamtest_max_value = 100 sieve_spamtest_status_header = X-PMX-Spam: \.*Probability=([[:digit:]]+)%+\.* sieve_spamtest_status_type = score } protocols = imap lmtp sieve service auth { unix_listener auth-master { mode = 0600 user = vmail } unix_listener auth-userdb { user = vmail } user = root } service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 143 } inet_listener imaps { port = 0 } process_limit = 1024 process_min_avail = 10 service_count = 1 } service imap { process_limit = 1024 } service lmtp { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } } service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve { port = 4190 } service_count = 1 vsz_limit = 64 M } ssl_cert = </etc/dovecot/mailstore_cert_chain.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/mcl_key.pem userdb { args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/var/vmail_san2/dovecot/%1Lu/%Lu driver = static } protocol imap { mail_plugins = acl imap_acl } protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = acl sieve } protocol sieve { mail_max_userip_connections = 50 managesieve_implementation_string = Dovecot Pigeonhole managesieve_logout_format = bytes=%i/%o managesieve_max_compile_errors = 5 managesieve_max_line_length = 65536 } Regards, Thomas

[Dovecot] crash/mem violation in auth_worker + 50G logs in 2.1.7

This repeated until I killed dovecot (12 hours later), by then 54GB of logs had accumulated. Besides leaving me impressed with the logserver :), I was wondering if this is a known problem. I don't know what triggered this at 23:02 (shown above is the first set of problem logentries). Can't really have been an upgrade, since I backported the raring dovecot Ubuntu package for my precise server, no automated upgrades there. I did go look for the /etc/mysql/conf.d directory mentioned, it wasn't there, but there was a /etc/mysql/my.cnf trying to !includedir it. Since there is no mysql on the server besides libmysqlclient I removed the directory and haven't seen the problem return yet. Sounds like the reason for happening, however, the memory error after that probably warrants research? If it is in libmysqlclient, that's another non-default snag because that's the lib I get from Percona, not the Ubuntu default one. Shouldn't dovecot recognize that the auth worker is crashing? One more thing, this is (one line from many) from audit.log (I have auditd logging audit records) type=ANOM_ABEND msg=audit(1370682566.377:3499876): auid=4294967295 uid=108 gid=115 ses=4294967295 pid=23187 comm="auth" reason="memory violation" sig=6 108 is the dovecot user, so it probably is related. I realise I'm way off defaults here but I wanted to report anyway. (dovecot -n attached) thanks for any insight, Maarten.

[Dovecot] CATENATE/literal8 issue
by Michael M Slusarz 13 Jun '13

13 Jun '13

Using 2.2.2, I see this: C: 6 APPEND "INBOX" (\seen) "16-May-2013 22:05:14 -0600" CATENATE (URL "/INBOX;UIDVALIDITY=1255685337/;UID=48812/;SECTION=HEADER" TEXT ~{40} S: 6 NO [UNKNOWN-CTE] Binary input allowed only when the first part is binary. Why is there this limitation? It seems to me that CATENATE is confusing the content-type encoding of the data/part itself with the encoding of the IMAP literal. A literal 8 is nothing more than a series of OCTET's that *may* contain nulls, but not necessarily. i.e., in the above example the 40 octets of data are US-ASCII text, which is perfectly acceptable to send as a literal8. (Client rationale: If BINARY exists on the server, we don't bother to scan IMAP literal's for null data -- we just send them as literal8's. It's an optimization that I would hate to get rid of.) michael

[Dovecot] Replication and LAYOUT=fs
by Simon Fraser 13 Jun '13

13 Jun '13

Hello folks, I have a problem with replication and mail_location with LAYOUT=fs set. If I set "mail_location = maildir:~/mail" (leaving out the :LAYOUT=fs), create and populate some mailboxes and subfolders, they all get replicated. If I start with a clean mail spool and LAYOUT=fs, I can create some new mailboxes and subfolders but only the inbox is replicated. Subfolders are ignored. The users are all in LDAP, and virtual, hence the generic mail_home format and mail_location being set. The userdb lookup has been told to return no attributes ("user_attrs = "), but I have also tried it with requesting 'home' and specifying a default of /mail/spool/%u in the userdb config. The service is perfectly functional as far as a mail client is concerned: it can access all the folders and messages it expects on the server that had them added. It's only the replication using LAYOUT=fs that seems to be troublesome. Here is `doveconf -n` for the first of the pair of servers (dcot1a and dcot1b). The configuration on the other is identical except for the hostname differences.

[Dovecot] post-login script and original remote ip in proxy mode
by Ibrahim Harrani 13 Jun '13

13 Jun '13

Hi, I am running dovecot on 3 qmail-ldap server backend. dovecot configured to use auth_pop3 wrapper for authentication. Users logins to the qmail-ldap pop3&imap pools randomly. If a user is mailhost is not the connected server, dovecot proxies the connection to the user mailhost. In this case, I can not get the original client IP address via post-logins script on user host. I see only the first connected server IP as $IP environment. Any idea to get original client IP in this setup with postlogin scripts? Thanks
