Hello I am still struggling with this, any idea? Regards Maria ----- Original Message ----- From: Maria Arrea Sent: 05/09/11 12:19 PM To: Dovecot Mailing List Subject: [Dovecot] Sieve & auto_create mail_home Hello In my setup I have the following in dovecot.conf (dovecot 2.0.12) mail_home = /buzones/mydomain/%2.26Hn/%2.200Hn/%n/home_usuario/ mail_location = mdbox:/buzones/my_domain/%2.26Hn/%2.200Hn/%n:INDEX=/indices_dovecot/indices/%2.26Hn/%2.200Hn/%n My problem is with the autocreation of mail_home.

[Dovecot] Posfix and Dovecot (dovecot like LDA) and no space left on the disk
by Petr Svacina 09 May '11

09 May '11

Hi, Please I have a question: If my server is out of space (disk full) and the postfix is LDA, the new messages a deffered or refused,so postfix send 450 to sender ... But When I use dovecot (1.2.16) like LDA, postfix accept message (even there is no space), forward to dovecot, dovecot REFUSE the message and message is lost ! How can I solve this ? I don't want tu use quota and the disk was full, because of the other problem .... thanks.

[Dovecot] how to cat / grep from dbox files
by Sarder Kamal 09 May '11

09 May '11

Dear List members I am new to dovecot and am looking for a solution. I have googled as much as I could, but most likely my search criteria was wrong, and hence asking here. I am familiar with maildir format, and could easily do cat / grep / sed on those files to extract data. The server I am looking at now uses dbox format, which seems to store data in a different way. just to give you an example, when I do cat Drafts/dbox-Mails/u.11 I get the following output 2 M1e C4daa51f6 N 000000000000030A �Tmo�6��_q�0`�B�r�D�� tF�5Xܵ�HI'��D��T��=*^�u��M�A�x/�=ω׋E ��4�d�鰮M_4�Z�.�ިmt��e��U�=�=1۠s�B�^�0�_�_& �"��H��eehuCA�1�I]a��p��)\�-��H ��ɋt4��E,��I�P�G��+��Iյ�K+˖�u;9Z-��)ri��վ��un ��֡�W�@�m�l�P�'��.̃�|��6�͊��)�S�C�T��>��n��U�r��݃�]X9R��u�=�T��S_�:6��]�4hak��JWpkMe%��P_��~O~MW�jOU�F}�b� 3�]�~�/��8�_"��}L��覯|L�}6hE'�7 ��^ڐq�-Y�I��Ѯ.f��҉_<��o6�~_�\z��=�gXˆ4y~1�|/~�J�7O��O&��& lt;��j�t��z�[圱��x9�zwn��T�b�k��)�p��4` ��a|�HR��*7��d)�'��?FQ�[�gp8�O&�L2O[�t̃�`�� Z20479 R47f4b88e V20ba2 G1207220366.P10687Q2.server X1358 130815 B72 7f/7d/7f7dc5d880fa44444e57c6cbe2e4fd477dab1086-4db17526fa51aa4deb5e0000453e4b91 if I do less Drafts/dbox-Mails/u.11 below is the output 00000000 32 20 4d 31 65 20 43 34 64 61 61 35 31 66 36 0a |2 M1e C4daa51f6.| 00000010 01 02 4e 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 30 30 30 |..N 000| 00000020 30 30 30 30 30 30 30 30 30 30 33 30 41 0a 1f 8b |000000000030A...| 00000030 08 00 00 00 00 00 00 03 9d 54 6d 6f db 36 10 fe |.........Tmo.6..| 00000040 ce 5f 71 d3 30 60 c3 42 89 72 ec 44 95 ed 20 a9 |._q.0`.B.r.D.. .| 00000050 ed 74 46 e3 35 58 dc b5 fb 48 49 27 99 a9 44 1a |.tF.5X...HI'..D.| 00000060 a4 e4 54 fd f5 3d 2a 5e d2 75 d8 d0 4d b6 41 f3 |..T..=*^.u..M.A.| 00000070 78 2f cf 3d cf 89 d7 8b 45 0a aa 91 fb 34 8a 64 |x/.=....E....4.d| 00000080 dd e9 b0 ae 4d 5f 34 c6 5a e5 2e dd de a8 1a 6d |....M_4.Z......m| 00000090 74 87 ba 65 ef f9 ba a0 55 b5 3d 7f 8d 3d 05 15 |t..e....U.=..=..| 000000a0 31 db a0 73 b2 42 be 5e a6 30 1b 9f 5f 8f 5f 26 |1..s.B.^.0.._._&| 000000b0 c9 22 1c 8b 89 48 c4 e9 65 65 0e 68 75 43 41 f8 |."...H..ee.huCA.| 000000c0 31 df 49 5d 61 98 9b b0 fb 70 c1 96 b2 c5 14 b6 |1.I]a....p......| 000000d0 bb ee 04 c4 29 5c ed 2d 8c 84 48 20 8e d3 c9 8b |....)\.-..H ....| 000000e0 74 34 86 9f 45 2c 04 bb b6 a6 49 e1 8a 50 c1 8d |t4..E,....I..P..| 000000f0 47 05 9b 01 16 cc fe 06 f4 9f 2b bd e7 1b f3 49 |G.........+....I| 00000100 d5 b5 e4 4b 2b cb 96 af 75 69 08 3b 39 5a 2d eb |...K+...ui.;9Z-.| As it is quite evident, the output is in binary format, but I need it in text (even if that means I use some other command and pipe the output to cat / grep / sed) -- can this be done?

[Dovecot] Renaming maildir files, UIDs and mail clients
by Helge Milde 09 May '11

09 May '11

Hi! First a little background: I'm thinking of compressing my Maildir's using dovecot's zlib support, and have run into a couple of problems. First of all, my files use the following formats: 1. 1260386673.000002.mbox:2,S 2. 1304920966.M241434P17342.mail,W=3152:2,S As you can see, both lack the S=<size> "basename flag", but the latter does have W=. Reading http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Zlib, I get the impression that I really need S= in the filenames (".. otherwise there will be problems with quota calculation as well as other potential random failures."). I have made a script that compresses my files, adds S=<size> if it's missing (using wc -c before gzip), and appends the Z flag. As I understand it, adding S=<size> will change the UID of the email, while appending Z won't. Now for my questions: 1. How crucial is it to have the S= in the basename when using zlib? The wiki page mentions quota problems, which we're not using, but also "random failures"... 2. Would W= suffice in this regard? I.e. would I be able to compress files of the latter format safely, without adding S= (only appending the Z flag)? 3. If S=<size> *is* needed, is there a way to minimize the effect from the mail client's perspective? From my testruns, it seems Mutt have no problems after I rename the basename, but Thunderbird will refetch the emails, and not delete the old ones, showing duplicate emails. Refetching emails is not a big problem, I think, but only if the email clients understand that the old ones doesn't exist anymore. And if anyone has ideas on how to convert to using zlib without the users knowing, I would be glad to hear it! -- Helge Milde www.monsternett.no

[Dovecot] Post-login scripting with mail_drop_priv_before_exec in dovecot2
by Mark Zealey 09 May '11

09 May '11

Hi, I'm in the process of upgrading from dovecot v1.1 to dovecot 2. We fetch uid/gid user information from a database and also use post-login scripting with mail_drop_priv_before_exec = yes which means the postlogin script is executed with the permissions of the user we have found in the database. According to the dovecot2 wiki page, to get this behaviour in version 2 we have to set the post-login script to run as root and then su to the user. This seems a bit of a strange (and insecure as you might forget) way of doing this. Are there any other options, such as fetching a certain column name from the database to set the value of service imap-postlogin { user } or setting something like user = $user in the configuration? (or is the configuration only read at startup so such dynamic configuration can't be done in the service section?) Cheers, Mark

[Dovecot] sieve filters not being invoked
by Colin Brace 09 May '11

09 May '11

Hi all, Similar to someone who posted here yesterday, I am having trouble getting sieve filters working. I have installed pigeonhole. I can create, edit, and save scripts from both the Thunderbird sieve extension as well as the Roundcube sieve plugin via managesieve running on port 4190. The .sieve file is properly saved in ~/sieve with a symlink from ~/.dovecot.sieve. But the filters are not being invoked on incoming mail. I have mail_debug enabled, but I don't see anything useful in /var/log/dovecot. Anyone have any ideas?

[Dovecot] mbox/maildir mixed setup with system/virtual mixed users
by Victor TARHON-ONU 09 May '11

09 May '11

Hello Everyone, I'm using dovecot 1.0.7 (not sure how relevant it is though) configured to handle both sytem users and virtual users. The system users are handled by default (PAM), while the virtual users are handled pretty much like this: passdb passwd-file { args = /var/spool/vmail/%d/auth/%n } ...And mailbox and folder location settings: userdb static { args = uid=mail gid=mail home=/var/spool/vmail/%d/mail/%n mail=mbox:/var/spool/vmail/%d/imap/%n:INBOX=mbox:/var/spool/vmail/%d/mail/%n } Everything works perfectly with the inbox and mail foder in mbox format. Now, what I'm trying to accomplish is to reconfigure dovecot to create and handle the secondary mail folders (/home/user/mail for system users and /var/spool/vmail/domainname/imap/user/imap for virtual users) in maildir format. I tried to define some name spaces to make this happen, but whatever I to do make one work (either the virtual users or the system users) would make the other non-functional. By example, I have these name space definitions and the virtual users work fine with maildir: namespace private { separator = / prefix = "#mbox/" location = mbox:/var/spool/vmail/%d/imap/%n:INBOX=/var/spool/vmail/%d/mail/%n inbox = yes hidden = yes } namespace private { separator = / prefix = location = maildir:/var/spool/vmail/%d/imap/%n hidden = yes } Maybe I didn't fully understand the namespace concept, but I was unable to make them apply only to one location of the imap folders locations or another. Can anyone give me a hand with this, if this setup is even possible? --

[Dovecot] Restricting IMAP

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.

My gdb won't cooperate and produce a backtrace so I hope this dbx stack trace gives sufficient clues as to why it crashed. It happended when I was testing a doveadm command for a user which a large collection of mboxs: # dbx doveadm (dbx) run mailbox status -u user messages \* ... long list ... igel messages=1 INBOX messages=231 doveadm(user): Panic: Trying to deinit storage before freeing its objects doveadm(user): Error: Raw backtrace: 0xff1bf0e4 -> 0xff1bf34c -> 0xff2a42a0 -> 0xff29d68c -> 0xff29e494 -> 0xff2a7bc4 -> 0xff2a7e3c -> 0x16894 -> 0x169a0 -> 0x16e18 -> 0x17234 -> 0x17304 -> 0x1c0a0 -> 0x1629c signal ABRT (Abort) in __lwp_kill at 0xfefcd6ac 0xfefcd6ac: __lwp_kill+0x0008: bcc,a,pt %icc,__lwp_kill+0x18 ! 0xfefcd6bc Current function is default_fatal_finish dbx: warning: can't find file "/build/dovecot-2.0.12/src/lib/failures.c" (dbx) where [1] __lwp_kill(0x0, 0x6, 0x0, 0x6, 0xffbffeff, 0x0), at 0xfefcd6ac [2] raise(0x6, 0x0, 0x0, 0xfefacd88, 0xffffffff, 0x6), at 0xfef669ac [3] abort(0xff1ea980, 0x1, 0x0, 0xee4cc, 0xff0334d8, 0x0), at 0xfef42010 =>[4] default_fatal_finish(type = LOG_TYPE_PANIC, status = 0), line 187 in "failures.c" [5] default_fatal_handler(ctx = 0xffbff598, format = (nil), args = 0xffbff600), line 201 in "failures.c" [6] i_panic(format = 0xff30d3b8 "Trying to deinit storage before freeing its objects", ...), line 259 in "failures.c" [7] mail_storage_unref(_storage = 0x6b9ec), line 379 in "mail-storage.c" [8] mail_namespace_free(ns = 0x6b9b8), line 52 in "mail-namespace.c" [9] mail_namespaces_deinit(_namespaces = 0x66efc), line 438 in "mail-namespace.c" [10] mail_user_deinit_base(user = 0x66ec0), line 28 in "mail-user.c" [11] mail_user_unref(_user = 0x55450), line 140 in "mail-user.c" [12] doveadm_mail_next_user(ctx = 0x55438, input = 0x55450, error_r = 0xffbff8c4), line 221 in "doveadm-mail.c" [13] doveadm_mail_single_user(ctx = 0x55438, argv = 0xffbffc08, username = 0xffbffd1f "user", service_flags = -4196156), line 246 in "doveadm-mail.c" [14] doveadm_mail_cmd(cmd = 0x544f0, argc = 5, argv = 0xffbffc08), line 416 in "doveadm-mail.c" [15] doveadm_mail_try_run_multi_word(cmd = 0x544f0, cmdname = 0x2ade0 "status", argc = 6, argv = 0xffbffbf8), line 457 in "doveadm-mail.c" [16] doveadm_mail_try_run(cmd_name = 0xffbffd0d "mailbox", argc = 6, argv = 0xffbffbf8), line 480 in "doveadm-mail.c" [17] main(argc = 6, argv = 0xffbffbf8), line 183 in "doveadm.c" Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

As of 2.0.12, looks like NONEXISTENT response code isn't working properly again. Previously brought up issues relating to this here: http://markmail.org/message/jxbgdfv26pws66og With a nonexistent mailbox "FOO", I see this: 1 DELETE "FOO" 1 NO Mailbox doesn't exist: FOO // Should be: 1 NO [NONEXISTENT] Mailbox doesn't exist: FOO 2 RENAME "FOO" "BAR" 2 NO Mailbox doesn't exist: FOO // Should be: 2 NO [NONEXISTENT] Mailbox doesn't exist: FOO michael

[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

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

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

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!

[Dovecot] Dovecot Folder Creation Problem
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.
