[Dovecot] Restricting IMAP
by Matt 09 May '11

09 May '11

I want to restrict IMAP use too 127.0.0.1 and to only certain usernames. Such as fred(a)my777domain.com would be allowed to use IMAP. How would I do that with Dovecot or can I? Basically I want webmail to work with IMAP regardless of username but I only want certain usernames allowed to use IMAP remotely.

[Dovecot] example-config mail_log plugin options

Hello, dovecot-2.0.12/doc/example-config/conf.d/10-logging.conf contains # mail_log plugin provides more event logging for mail processes. plugin { # Events to log. Also available: flag_change append #mail_log_events = delete undelete expunge copy mailbox_delete mailbox_rename # Group events within a transaction to one line. #mail_log_group_events = no # Available fields: uid, box, msgid, from, subject, size, vsize, flags # size and vsize are available only for expunge and copy events. #mail_log_fields = uid box msgid size } "mail_log_group_events" seems to be gone (when and why?). And it's now "save" instead of "append", with "mailbox_create" also available.

[Dovecot] Issues with authentication failure delays
by Kevin Goodsell 08 May '11

08 May '11

There are two rather clear issues with the state of authentication failure delays. First, the delay length isn't what was (presumably) intended. Second, there is a new way of doing failure delays in Dovecot 2 which was added *in addition to* the old method, rather than replacing it. As a result delays may not be the expected length and settings don't have the expected effect. First, the length of the failure delays. Based on auth/auth-penalty.c and auth/auth-penalty.h, it seems rather clear that the delay time (for the newer type of failure delay) was intended to start at 2 seconds and double for each failure (see auth_penalty_to_secs), but be capped at 15 seconds. However, a simple test which tries to log in 5 times with a random password and times each attempt shows something different: $ cat authtest.py import imaplib import time import random conn = imaplib.IMAP4('localhost') for i in range(5): try: start = time.time() conn.login('testusers', str(random.random())) except Exception, e: print e print time.time() - start $ python authtest.py [AUTHENTICATIONFAILED] Authentication failed. 0.502058982849 [AUTHENTICATIONFAILED] Authentication failed. 4.50464391708 [AUTHENTICATIONFAILED] Authentication failed. 8.50679802895 [AUTHENTICATIONFAILED] Authentication failed. 15.5040819645 [AUTHENTICATIONFAILED] Authentication failed. 15.5039038658 (Note that these results are with auth_failure_delay set to 0, more on that in a bit.) Aside from the extra half second on each attempt (which I have no clue about), there is no delay on the first attempt. Subsequent delays seem to have the correct timing. I *think* this is because auth_penalty_lookup is called from auth_request_handler_auth_begin, that is, at the *beginning* of an authentication attempt, therefore not affecting the first failed attempt. This may be too minor an issue to worry much about, but it certainly looks to me like it's not doing quite what was intended. Moving on to the second issue. Revision fbff8ca77d2e added a new style of authentication failure delay, but left the existing failure delay mechanism in place. The old failure delay uses the auth_failure_delay setting, and could be disabled by using a value of 0 for that setting. Its remnants are in auth/auth-request-handler.c in the function auth_request_handler_flush_failures. It looks like much of the code in that file could be removed or simplified by eliminating this older failure delay system. Better still, I would like to see the auth_failure_delay setting retained and used in the new system. The value of the setting could be used in place of AUTH_PENALTY_INIT_SECS, allowing similar configurability to what the old system offered. -Kevin

[Dovecot] alpine + Maildir
by upen 08 May '11

08 May '11

Hello, I am trying to configure pine.conf for all users and running into an issue. In this setup, Mailbox format is Maildir and Maildir location is /Mail/Username/{new,cur,..etc} First thing required in alpine was patch for maildir and this has already been done. After that I have tried setting up folder-collection Mail #md ../../Mail/username and also tried using #mc (not sure which one is correct #md or #mc). Nothing worked. If maildir support in alpine does not work like it does for mbox then I'll have to configure IMAP setings in pine.conf for alpine users. I must say that alpine is installed on mail server :). Although IMAP setting may work fine, it will prompt user for password initially when checking email and while sending first email. I'd like to avoid this by using #md or #mc. If anyone has any useful inputs please let me know. Thank you! UG.

[Dovecot] Building Pigeonhole
by Peter Bell 08 May '11

08 May '11

I'm attempting to build Pigeonhole 0.2.3 for use with my Dovecot 2.0.12 installation on Slackware. I've downloaded the sources and unzipped into a folder which sits alongside the folder in which I built Dovecot. When I ./configure, the configuration appears to complete without error. However, when I make, the compiler throws lots of errors all stemming, I believe from its failure to find a set of include files: cmd-vacation.c:4:17: error: lib.h: No such file or directory cmd-vacation.c:5:17: error: str.h: No such file or directory cmd-vacation.c:6:22: error: strfuncs.h: No such file or directory cmd-vacation.c:7:17: error: md5.h: No such file or directory cmd-vacation.c:8:21: error: hostpid.h: No such file or directory cmd-vacation.c:9:26: error: str-sanitize.h: No such file or directory cmd-vacation.c:10:29: error: message-address.h: No such file or directory cmd-vacation.c:11:26: error: message-date.h: No such file or directory cmd-vacation.c:12:20: error: ioloop.h: No such file or directory I believe that these files are all part of the main Dovecot - what am I meant to be doing so that the Pigeonhole build process can find them?

[Dovecot] Shared mailboxes and acl
by Juan C. Blanco 07 May '11

07 May '11

Hello, I've finally upgrade to dovecot 2.0.12 and I'm doing some test with shared mailboxes and acl. I've read http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Shared and changed the dovecot config as recommended, I'm using Horde/IMP as imap_acl client Seems that the acl files in user mailbox where updated correctly. I've defined also a shared mailbox dictionary and if I've understood right from the wiki page this file is supposed to be also updated with the imap_acl commands, is this right? In my case this file is never updated, I don't know if this file must have any special format or is a simple text file. Any help will be appreciated Regards Juan C. Blanco

Hello, You say ntpd is running. Is it running as a daemon ? AFAIK, to keep good time on a linux machine inside the network, you need to run "ntpdate" and not "ntpd". I had _exactly_ the same problem and I was running an ntp daemon. I wasn't actually syncing to anything. So,I did some searching and found out that I need to run "ntpdate ntp.server.fqdn", then add this same line to cron.

[Dovecot] Bug Report: Failure delay config is ignored
by Kevin Goodsell 04 May '11

04 May '11

I have a set of automated tests for a system that can authenticate a user by forwarding authentication details to a server. That is, in order to authenticate a user, this system logs on to, e.g., an IMAP server using the credentials supplied by the user to verify the correctness of those credentials. I've been using dovecot as the authentication server to test IMAP, IMAPs, POP3, and APOP. To run the tests (most of which are authentication failures), I configure dovecot without authentication failure delays, since obviously I don't want to wait several minutes for the tests to finish. Setting the configuration variable auth_failure_delay to 0 worked fine in Dovecot 1.2, but since Debian updated to Dovecot 2.0 it no longer works. The tests take a very long time to run. I tried changing my passwd file to include nodelay=y, but this only works in a very limited way. For the set of tests which use the correct username, but an incorrect password, this successfully disables the failure delay. However, for the set of tests which use incorrect usernames (names not found in the user database or the password database, and which therefore don't have the extra nodelay field), the failure delay still occurs. There seems to be at least two problems here. The first is that it isn't clear what effect auth_failure_delay has. The comment in the sample config file just says "Time to delay before replying to failed authentications", which is certainly an incomplete description if not totally inaccurate. This setting seems to be completely unmentioned in the 2.0 wiki. The second problem is that the nodelay extra field can only be applied on a per-user basis. There doesn't seem to be any way to apply it to all users, or to apply it to authentication attempts for non-existent users. It seems to me that the failure delay that is actually used should either be 1) the actual value of auth_failure_delay (ideally with some random variance for extra security, but recognizing 0 as meaning disabled) or 2) some multiple of auth_failure_delay, where the multiplier increases with subsequent failures up to some max delay, with 0 still giving no delay. Config information follows. Thanks. -Kevin $ dovecot -n # 2.0.12: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 i686 Debian wheezy/sid auth_debug = yes auth_failure_delay = 0 auth_mechanisms = plain apop auth_verbose = yes listen = 127.0.0.1 log_path = /var/log/dovecot mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/passwd driver = passwd-file } protocols = " imap pop3" ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = passwd } $ cat /etc/dovecot/passwd testuser:{PLAIN}testpassword::::::nodelay=y

[Dovecot] Forwarding loop
by Brian Mihulka 04 May '11

04 May '11

I used to filter my mail through gmail with the following sieve rule. if not header :contains "X-Forwarded-To" "bmihulka(a)hulkster.net"{ redirect "bmihulka(a)gmail.com"; } With the gmail account set to forward to bmihulka(a)hulkster.net After upgrading to dovecot 1.2.9 and postfix 2.7.0 from whatever was with debian etch. I get a forwarding loop error. I don't know if this is a dovecot issue or postfix issue so I'm starting here. If anyone has any ideas or a better place to ask about this please let me know. Thanks Brian Mihulka

[Dovecot] listen = ipv4, ipv6
by Leo Baltus 03 May '11

03 May '11

Hi, We want dovecot to listen on a specific ip4 & ipv6 addresses like so: listen = 145.58.1.1, [2a02:458:1::1] But on startup it tells me: Fatal: service(managesieve-login) Can't resolve address [2a02:458:1::1]: Name or service not known Wether it is in the dns or not. If I however change the listen directive to: listen = f.qd.nl where f.qd.nl resolves to an ip4 and ipv6 address dovecot starts up and binds to these ipaddresses the way we expect it. However this makes it depend on DNS which is undesirable. Maybe I am overlooking something, but if not can this be changed so we can configure ipv4 & ipv6 with ip-addresses? -- Leo Baltus, internetbeheerder /\ NPO ICT Internet Services /NPO/\ Sumatralaan 45, 1217 GP Hilversum, Filmcentrum, west \ /\/ beheer(a)omroep.nl, 035-6773555 \/

[Dovecot] Warning: SSL is disabled because global ssl=no, ignoring ssl=yes for subsection
by Peter Bell 02 May '11

02 May '11

Hi all, This is my first message to the list. I've been experimenting with running dovecot on my unRAID server (basically, a parity-protected array of disks, running on a slackware 13.1 platform). Someone on the unRAID forum had built a binary distribution of dovecot 1.1.20 and I got this up and running without too much trouble. Today, I've been building the latest dovecot release (2.0.12) and getting this up and running. My biggest problem has been reconstructing the configuration file but, after a few diversions, I'm now back up and running, with access to my mail once more. However, I'm just a little bit miffed that I can't get rid of this warning. My configuration: root@Tower:~# doveconf -n # 2.0.12: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf doveconf: Warning: SSL is disabled because global ssl=no, ignoring ssl=yes for subsection # OS: Linux 2.6.36.2-unRAID i686 Slackware 13.1.0 fuse.shfs disable_plaintext_auth = no listen = * mail_location = maildir:/mnt/user/Maildir/%u passdb { args = /etc/passwd.dovecot driver = passwd-file } protocols = imap service auth { user = root } service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 143 } } ssl = no userdb { args = /etc/passwd.dovecot driver = passwd-file } root@Tower:~# Can someone point me to where the (implicit?) ssl=yes is coming from? In the meantime I will have a play at mail fetching, comparing dumping the mails straight into maildir, with using the dovecote lda. Thanks for any advice. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Peter Bell

[Dovecot] calling dovecot exported auth from Java
by WJCarpenter 30 Apr '11

30 Apr '11

As far as I have been able to figure out, dovecot auth always works over a Unix domain socket. I believe it is not currently possible to operate dovecot auth over an Internet domain (TCP) socket. Am I correct? I want to call dovecot's exported authentication from a Java application. Java doesn't natively know how to talk to a Unix domain socket, so there are inconveniences. There are 3rd party JNI libraries to allow Java to do it, but I'm not too wild about the idea of using JNI. My current thinking is to rig up some kind of proxy/shuttle arrangement between a localhost TCP port and the dovecot auth Unix domain socket in the filesystem. I'm looking at using the more or less standard tool "socat" to do that. ('m on a mainstream Linux distribution.) Has anyone else confronted and solved this problem? Do tell us the details .... :-) TIA!

[Dovecot] linking problems of dovecot 2.0.3

Hi every one! Im new to the list, and to dovecot. I foud this program very usefull, scalable and with a serious security focus. So Im trying to implement it here at work. The first logical step is to read as much as I can, to build the best possible configuration avaible... but i found that the wiki es a pour source of serious information, filled with examples... examples are great to learn, but I was loocking for something that describes every dovecot.conf option (for example: mail_location = *string* default: mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u bla,bla,bla...) Or perhaps some one can give me some directions to start reading... any help will be great. Thank you! PD: sorry for my english! haha -- ________________________________________ Juan Bernhard INSTITUTO NACIONAL DE TECNOLOGÍA INDUSTRIAL DEPARTAMENTO DE INFORMÁTICA DIVISIÓN OPERACIONES Teléfono (54 11) 4724-6200 / 6300 / 6400 Interno 6739 juan(a)inti.gob.ar _______________________________________ 0800 444 4004 | www.inti.gob.ar

by Ceyhun Ganioglu 29 Apr '11

29 Apr '11

Hi all, I installed Dovecot-Postfix as an IMAP mail server and also RoundCube as webmail. When I create an account using Postfix Admin and login to webmail, roundCube creates the Junk Mail, Deleted Emails folder automatically. I also added this account to my Microsoft Outlook 2007. Following some tutorials on the internet I created an Outlook rule to move the sent emails to the IMAP server's sent mail folder. When I send an email, the email disappears from the default sent items of Outlook but it doesn't appear on the IMAP server's sent items folder. Do I have to set some kind of other permissions on the IMAP server to fix this problem? My version of Dovecot is 1.2.16. I want my clients use Microsoft Outlook and reach all received and sent emails via webmail anywhere they go. Many thanks Ceyhun

[Dovecot] Problem Authenticating with Master User
by Henry Franco 29 Apr '11

29 Apr '11

Dovecot provides a master login (a master user name and password that can log into all user accounts). I've setup Dovecot as per: http://wiki1.dovecot.org/Authentication/MasterUsers Here's my problem. The only way I can authenticate successfully is if I try to authenticate through telnet twice. Also, imapsync (the tool I need to use to migrate over emails from Dovecot to other mail server) won't work because of this. $ telnet mail01.server.com 143 Trying 10.10.10.12... Connected to mail01.server.com. Escape character is '^]'. * OK Dovecot ready. 1 login user(a)server.com*master my_password 1 NO Authentication failed. 1 login user(a)server.com*master my_password 1 OK Logged in.

[Dovecot] Re-downloading mails after migrate server
by Esther Yébenes --Conzentra-- 29 Apr '11

29 Apr '11

Hi all, first of all, I must say that I am pretty new to mailing lists, so please, if I do something wrong, just tell me. Now, my problem. I'm migrating a mail service from a temporal to a definitive server. Both servers have the same versions (Postfix, Dovecot -1.0.7, POP3 & IMAP services-, MySQL) and it all works perfectly. The only problem is with the users that store their mail on the server; on the testing, when I check if there is new mail, I download the mail stored on the new server once more. After that, it works correctly (no more unwanted downloads), but I need to avoid that first download. I have been investigating before writing to the list. I have checked that UIDL are the same on both servers, and the configuration is exactly the same except for the name of the server; I have seen in few places that it may be the cause for downloading thdovecote mail again, so I changed the name of the new server to the old's one, but it happened again. I know that lots of servers are migrated every day, and never heard about those problems, so I suppose it must be a solution for this, or maybe a better way to configure the servers. If you wanna take a look at the configuration of both servers, I have pasted them on here --> http://pastebin.ca/2051228 Please, let me now if you need any more information.

[Dovecot] [dovecot] Question about master user and PAM with dovecot 2.0.12
by Jonathan Siegle 29 Apr '11

29 Apr '11

Is it possible to allow master users to be authenticated against PAM? Something like: passdb { driver = pam #args = /etc/dovecot/passwd.masterusers master = yes #pass = yes } and then have a userdb which qualifies what accounts are master accounts but doesn't have passwords? Thanks, Jonathan

Re: [Dovecot] Dovecot Folder Creation Problem

Hi Robert, Many thanks for your reply. I realized that the title of my email was not explaining my exact problem. My problem is not the creation of the folders. I am happy with the folders created by RoundCube. I am confused why Outlook can't write to the Sent Items folder. Logically Outlook, TB or any other email client must have permission to write the sent mails to the chosen sent mail folder on an IMAP server without any problems. Am I wrong?

[Dovecot] how to limit size of dovecot.log
by Aaron C Johnson 29 Apr '11

29 Apr '11

I've done some searching and maybe I'm missing something... I have a remote dovecot and postfix server running on debian 5. I then have a local fetchmail server that retrieves email from the dovecot server via pop3s every 5 minutes. The problem is that the /var/log/dovecot.log file has grown to be over 1.1GiB over a period of less than 1 year. Is there a way to limit the size of the dovecot.log file, or do I have to run a monthly cron job or something to take care of it for me? Thank you, Aaron Johnson

Hi, I am trying to use dovecot as lda.

[Dovecot] What is the recommended way to move a message from one mailbox to another using CLI
by Uffe Jakobsen 27 Apr '11

27 Apr '11

What is the recommended way to move a message from one mailbox to another using CLI - serverside commands ? Since IMAP does not support transactional moves between mailboxes - The only thing that comes to my mind is this operation: 1) extract message from mailbox A using "doveadm fetch" 2) inject message into mailbox B using "dovecot-lda" 3) expunge message from mailbox A using "doveadm expunge" it this the right solution ? One problem with above approach is that injecting through "dovecot-lda" will trigger the sieve script - which I'm not interested in since the message have already been injected and processed once before - at delivery... Any advice is much welcome -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/What-is-the-recommended-way-to-move-a-message-from-on… Sent from the Dovecot mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Dovecot] What is the recommended way to delete a message from a mailbox ?
by Uffe Jakobsen 27 Apr '11

27 Apr '11

Hi, I'm implementing a shell-script (pseudo) solution to the missing IMAP Outbox feature in Dovecot (Courier IMAP feature http://www.inter7.com/courierimap/INSTALL.html#imapsend) In order to remove the message from the Outbox once it is sent I have a question: What is the recommended way to delete a message from a mailbox (from an "external" server side program - such as a shell script) ? Can I just remove the file from the mailbox - I cannot seem to find any doveadm commands that does this task. I guess that Dovecot over time will discover that the atime and mtime of its indexes and maps does not reflect reality - or is there another (better) way to delete a message. Thanks Uffe -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/What-is-the-recommended-way-to-delete-a-message-from-… Sent from the Dovecot mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Robert Schetterer <robert(a)schetterer.org> writes: >> Anyway, why use lmtp over lda ? > > i.e avoid backscatter by overquota A clarification on this: backscatter (or rather, ambiguous NDR notices that claim many users are over quota rather than just one) is a result of a local mailer that support multiple recipient delivery in one invocation, but can only return one result code to the MTA. Since Dovecot's deliver-lda does not support multiple recipient delivery, this is not a problem. LMTP can support multiple deliveries of the same message per invocation, but replies with individual SMTP codes to avoid the above problem. It can take advantage of this to efficiently implement single instance storage if it is enabled. > performance should better too Apart from multiple deliveries or SIS, I'm not sure this is true, or significant if it were.
