[Dovecot] Problem with requiring client certificates for external connections
by Frank Crawford 04 Jan '11

04 Jan '11

Folks, I'm trying to configure my dovecot installation to require client certificates for external/Internet connections, while still allowing my local network to not need certificates. This configuration is for Dovecot 2 (2.0.8 in Fedora 14), and I've tried to use the "remote" block to give different definitions for my local network vs the defaults. While most options seem to be set fine, if I set "auth_ssl_require_client_cert" to yes as the default, and reset it to no for my local network, dovecot still requests a client certificate and fails as one is not supplied. Am I correct that it can be reset in a "remote" block, or is it treated differently to other options? In fact do I have the configuration correct, as there doesn't really seem to be anything documenting "remote" or "remote_ip" or related items for Dovecot 2. Related to this, much of the documentation states that the variable is "ssl_require_client_cert", seems to be accepted by ignored, vs "auth_ssl_require_client_cert" which does have some effects. Also, in the configuration dump, it duplicates the netmask. The configuration is below, as generated with "dovecot -n". Regards Frank # 2.0.8: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.36.1 x86_64 Fedora release 14 (Laughlin) ext4 auth_ssl_require_client_cert = yes mail_location = maildir:/var/spool/maildir/%u 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 mbox_write_locks = fcntl passdb { driver = pam } plugin { sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve } postmaster_address = postmaster(a)crawford.emu.id.au ssl = required ssl_ca = </etc/pki/CA/cacert.pem ssl_cert = </etc/pki/tls/certs/dovecot.crt ssl_key = </etc/pki/tls/private/dovecot.key ssl_verify_client_cert = yes userdb { driver = passwd } protocol pop3 { pop3_uidl_format = %v.%u } remote 203.16.204.0/24/24 { auth_ssl_require_client_cert = no disable_plaintext_auth = no ssl = no ssl_verify_client_cert = no } remote fdd2:7aad:d478:1::/64/64 { auth_ssl_require_client_cert = no disable_plaintext_auth = no ssl = no ssl_verify_client_cert = no } remote 2001:44b8:62:140::/64/64 { auth_ssl_require_client_cert = no disable_plaintext_auth = no ssl = no ssl_verify_client_cert = no }

[Dovecot] Courier-mta with Dovecot LDA again
by komodo 04 Jan '11

04 Jan '11

Hi all Sorry for repost, but i don't believe that there is noone who know where the problem can be. At least developers should know :-) I have sent this post once, but without answer. I have setup dovecot lda instead of maildrop on my courier server. Delivery is working, sieve plugin too, but i can't figure out why lda can't send emails via sendmail (vacation). I always get error Error: Sendmail process terminated abnormally, exit status 67 And i know why, but i don't know how to setup lda to make it work . Here is .courier file where is redirect to lda. | /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -a $RECIPIENT -f $SENDER But the deliver does not pass recipient address to sendmail. Here is some output of strace execve("/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver", ["/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver", "-a", "komodo@somedomain", "-f", "someuser@somedomain"], [/* 22 vars */]) = 0 So it's clear that deliver have those variables, but then i can see this execve("/usr/sbin/sendmail", ["/usr/sbin/sendmail", "-i", "-f", "<>", "--", "someuser@somedomain"], [/* 2 vars */] <unfinished ...> And there is empty -f , so here is the problem. How should i setup this to make it work correctly ? Here is my config [root(a)OVZ.mail ~]# dovecot -n # 2.0.7: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.18-194.8.1.el5.028stab070.5 x86_64 CentOS release 5.5 (Final) disable_plaintext_auth = no hostname = ovzmail listen = 10.0.10.34 mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir 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 mbox_write_locks = fcntl namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = INBOX. separator = . type = private } namespace { location = maildir:/home/shared/Maildir prefix = spam_learner. separator = . type = public } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext driver = ldap } plugin { sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve } protocols = imap sieve ssl_cert = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/server.pem ssl_key = </etc/pki/dovecot/private/server.pem userdb { driver = prefetch } protocol lda { mail_plugins = " sieve" } protocol imap { mail_max_userip_connections = 40 } Many thanks Martin

[Dovecot] Quota ignore subfolders
by Héctor Moreno Blanco 04 Jan '11

04 Jan '11

Hello, We have dovecot 2.0.8 in our servers with Scientific Linux SL release 5.2 (Boron). We want to ignore a mailbox and its child mailboxes. A few weeks ago Timo told me to do this in dovecot.conf, create a new namespace which will be the quotaless namespace and edit the quota: namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = INBOX. separator = . type = private } namespace { location = maildir:%h/Maildir/carpeta1 prefix = carpeta1. separator = . type = private } plugin { quota = maildir:carpeta1:ns=INBOX. quota_warning = storage=75%% /usr/local/dovecot/bin/quota-warning.sh 75 quota_warning2 = storage=90%% /usr/local/dovecot/bin/quota-warning.sh 90 } We also have passdb and userdb with ldap, with dovecot-ldap.conf: pass_filter = (&(objectClass=qmailUser)(uid=%u)(accountActive=TRUE)) pass_attrs = uid=user,userPassword=password, mailQuotaSize=quota_rule=*:bytes=%$ user_attrs = mailMessageStore=home, mailQuotaSize=quota_rule=*:bytes=%$ user_filter = (&(objectClass=qmailUser)(|(mailAlternateAddress=%u)(mail=%u)(uid=%u))(accountActive=TRUE)) We also tried the easy solution which was to indicate a quota rule in order to ignore the mailbox but with no success. It still get every mailbox to calculate the quota. We set mail_debug=yes to see if there was any error, but everything seemed to be ok. Any suggestions? Thank you very much in advanced.

[Dovecot] Renaming IMAP folders does not affect children
by Johannes Simon 04 Jan '11

04 Jan '11

Hi, we're using dovecot2.0 since August and very happy with it. Just recently Thunderbird users reported problems when renaming folders, and it seems that RFC 2060 (sec. 6.3.5) requires children of a renamed folder to be renamed, too. This however does not happen: Talking IMAP I get: * LIST (\HasChildren) "." "INBOX.NNN1" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.NNN1.NNN1a" . rename "INBOX.NNN1" "INBOX.NNN2" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.NNN1.NNN1a" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.NNN2" There seems to be no problem the filesystem rights, since this works: . rename "INBOX.NNN1.NNN1a" "INBOX.NNN2.NNN1a" * LIST (\HasChildren) "." "INBOX.NNN2" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.NNN2.NNN1a" Am I misunderstanding RFC 2060, or is my config wrong (doveconf -n below), or could it be a bug?

[Dovecot] user xxx@mydomain.com doesn't exist
by G.Nau 04 Jan '11

04 Jan '11

new setup of Dovecot 2.0.8 with postfix local users are simply defined as Linux users named xxx, yyy et cetera; IMAP access is fine with that users. Postfix is delivering mails with two domains (to xxx(a)mydomain.com or xxx(a)mydomain.org) and these are rejected by dovecot with 550: user doesn't exist. I've tested the possible usernames with "doveadm user" xxx: okay xxx(a)mydoman.com: "userdb lookup: user xxx(a)mydomain.com doesn't exist" xxx(a)mydoman.org: "userdb lookup: user xxx(a)mydomain.org doesn't exist" Dovecot2 wiki says "Dovecot doesn't care much about domains in usernames" Okay, how to I get dovecot to ignore the domain part (or accept the two defined domains) when mails are delivered from postfix? Or do I have to configure Postfix to strip the domain part before delivering to dovecot? Regards Birte Nauer

[Dovecot] archiving
by PA 03 Jan '11

03 Jan '11

Hi, recently I installed the newest 2.x version of dovecot working with postfixadmin/mysql and it works great, thanks Timo, however I been reading dovecot's mailing list archived messages and haven't run across a good solution for archiving mail with dovecot. There was mention of using rsync but I was looking for incoming mail to be copied to another folder, maybe called archive J, in real time where the user would have only read access to the messages in the archive folder and the expire plug-in would delete messages older then x number of days. Does anyone have an suggestions on how I can implement this, I would also like to hear how some people were implement archiving if they do it differently. Also as far as shared calendars with dovecot what are my options. Sorry if it's a little off topic. Thanks, Paul

[Dovecot] dovecot director terminate ssl ?
by Jan-Frode Myklebust 03 Jan '11

03 Jan '11

I plan on putting two dovecot directors in front of our backend dovecot pop/imap servers, instead of our current haproxy loadbalancing of the connections -- but how do we handle SSL in such a setup. Will all SSL be terminated on the directors automatically, and then proxyed plain text, or is there any configuration needed to achieve this ? Does it matter that the directors are v2.0 while the backends are running v1.2 ? -jf

[Dovecot] Dovecot Quota plugin as Couier quota
by Antonio Perez-Aranda 03 Jan '11

03 Jan '11

I get a similar behavior between dovecot quota plugin and courier quota with the attached patch. When the client change flags, then is forced to recalc. This is because I don't know how to get the changed flags on quota sync method. The courier quota behavior is avoid to count all deleted mails, include "mark as deleted" mails. -- Antonio Pérez-Aranda Alcaide aperezaranda(a)yaco.es Yaco Sistemas S.L. http://www.yaco.es/ C/ Rioja 5, 41001 Sevilla Teléfono +34 954 50 00 57 Fax +34 954 50 09 29

[Dovecot] listescape breaks acl plugin
by Jens 02 Jan '11

02 Jan '11

Hi all Without the listescape plugin I see the following things happen: - If I share a mailbox, dovecot-acl-list in Maildir root is updated accordingly. - If I create a subfolder in an already shared mailbox the dovecot-acl file of the parent folder is copied to the new folder and dovecot-acl-list is updated as well. When I activate the "listescape" plugin, this doesn´t happen. Additionally (with listescape enabled), if I create a folder which contains a dot and then share that folder the dovecot-acl-list looses all entries except the first found shared folder without a dot in foldername. I Hope this is not a bug but only a configuration issue. Thanks for any hints in advance and best Regards Jens

[Dovecot] Shared Folders via Symlinking
by Adrian Mardlin 01 Jan '11

01 Jan '11

Hi folks, I'm trying to set up shared folders via symlinking and have come across a problem. I created a folder for one user, then symlinked it to another. I figured that one thing that is likely to happen at some point is that user 2 is going to decide they don't want to look at that folder any more, and will delete it, so I tried this. Much to my relief, it didn't delete the actual mails, just the symlink. However, it did alter the dovecot.index.cache file to indicate that the folder had been removed, and subsequent attempts to select this folder via the primary user resulted in an error, "NO Mailbox was deleted under us". I had to delete dovecot.index.cache to get it working again. Sorry - can't bring myself to call folders mailboxes... ;-) Adrian Mardlin in charge @ The Very Good Email Company t 01442 892641 m 07920 102401 f 01442 808081 w www.verygoodemail.com The content of this email and any attachment is private and may be legally privileged.

[Dovecot] Dovecot 1.2.12 + Postfix + virtual domains: delivering to system users
by Ran Talbott 01 Jan '11

01 Jan '11

As mentioned in my previous posting, I've set up a mailserver for a domain of Winboxen, authenticated through Active Directory. After some struggles, I finally got that working. But I also need to receive emails for a few system users on the mailserver (like postmaster, and a couple of accounts set up for maintaining the system). I thought, based on the way I read the documentation, that I could just add a "userdb passwd", ahead of the "userdb ldap", and deliver would find their home directory maildirs. The virtual users would fail the passwd search, fall through to the LDAP check, and deliver would drop their mail into their maildirs in the /var/mailstore tree. I knew the system users wouldn't be able to login to the IMAP server, but this isn't a concern. Instead, the system users' mail got bounced, after an auth check via the "master" socket (from Postfix, I guess: it's a transient process) whose details don't get logged. And the virtual users' lookups (done by deliver) returned made-up UIDs and GIDs, and maildir locations (/home/<realm>/<username>) completely different from what the LDAP lookup normally returns (/var/mailstore/<username>). So what am I missing here? I managed to work around this by adding the system users to the Postfix virtual.db, but it would be nice to not need to do that. It would also be nice to neable the system users to check email by logging in to the IMAP serve, but I'm reluctant to even try that after the way delivery went completely wonky. Thanks, Ran

[Dovecot] Can doveadm rebuild thread indexes?
by David Warden 30 Dec '10

30 Dec '10

I'm already using "doveadm search" to update my squat fts indexes (dovecot.index.search and dovecot.index.search.uids) but I'd like to also update dovecot's thread index file (dovecot.index.thread) using doveadm. I checked the new wiki and the archives but didn't see any option for this. (I'm running 2.0.8) The alternative (AFAIK) is to write a script that signs in to IMAP and does "thread references UTF-8 ALL" in each folder. As an aside, could the dovecot LDA do any of this work? I'd surely be willing to spend the resources at delivery time to keep those indexes updated if it meant I didn't have to run a cron job to keep them updated. -David Warden

[Dovecot] LDAP binds
by Trever L. Adams 30 Dec '10

30 Dec '10

I am using 2.0.8. Anonymous binds are no longer supported in the environment I am using. I need to change my userdb ldap setup to bind. I believe the ldap server does Kerberos (or can) authentication. My users are authenticating using Kerberos or Kerberos/PAM. This needs to stay in place. Can anyone suggest how I might go about changing my setup to work? My current ldap setup is as follows (the directories, user id, etc are set statically in the configuration elsewhere): tls = yes hosts = MAILSERVER base = dc=middleearth,dc=sapphiresunday,dc=org ldap_version = 3 user_attrs = userPrincipalName=user user_filter = (&(objectClass=person)(|(mail=%u)(sAMAccountName=%u)(userPrincipalName=%u))) # For using doveadm -A: iterate_attrs = userPrincipalName=user iterate_filter = (objectClass=person) Thank you, Trever Adams -- "Seize the day, put no trust in the morrow!" -- Quintus Horatius Flaccus (Horace)

I would like to have soem information added to this page: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Doveadm/Fetch Under 'Arguments'/fields is mentioned that 'hdr' could be used. But i wanted doveadm to just return the header of my message I found out, by simply trying, that next statement works: $ doveadm -f table fetch -u <username> "date.sent mailbox hdr.Subject" subject seomthing date.sent mailbox hdr.subject 2010-12-30 11:56:38 (+0100) INBOX RE: Question about seomthing 2010-12-30 13:24:29 (+0100) INBOX RE: Question about seomthing 2010-12-30 11:12:33 (+0100) Sent Question about seomthing 2010-12-30 12:11:19 (+0100) Sent Re: Question about seomthing I think it would be nice to add information to the field 'hdr' to let people know that 'hdr.Subject' is also allowed. -- Luuk

[Dovecot] dovecot-keywords problem with MDN
by Mauro D. 30 Dec '10

30 Dec '10

Hi all, I have Dovecot 1.2.13 installed. My clients ask why Disposition-Notification is requested every time the mail is moved on a new IMAP folder... I take a look into dovecot-keywords file and I see that: 1) I have only one row 0 NonJunk 2) dovecot-keywords file is not present inside every directory. How I can restore normal status? Where is probably the problem? Thanks Mauro D.

[Dovecot] Error: User doesn't have home dir set, disabling duplicate database

[Dovecot] IMAP messages not being marked read
by void372＠transientvoid.com 30 Dec '10

30 Dec '10

I recently moved from Fedora 13 to Fedora 14 and consequently to dovecot 2.0.8. Since then, I have observed that messages are not being marked as read in all cases. The general behavior is: 1. Use my mail client to read all unseen messages. All mail folders show no messages unread. 2. Tell mail client to check for new mail. 3. Mail client now says that some folders have new mail (1 or more messages) 4. Clicking on a folder with new mail (say with 6 unread) shows that there are no unread messages. I have observed this behavior using both kmail and squirrelmail so do not believe it is a mail client problem. I have maildir folders to which mail is delivered using procmail recipes directly to the appropriate dovecot folder. In these folders, I notice that the "cur" directory has a matching number of messages that do not have an "S" flag on the end of the file name. For example: # ls .fedora-list/ cur/ dovecot.index.log new/ dovecot.index.cache dovecot-uidlist tmp/ # ls .fedora-list/cur 1293379204.26554_1.nehalem.home.rainbowdreams.com:2,S 1293379206.26571_1.nehalem.home.rainbowdreams.com:2, 1293379207.26581_1.nehalem.home.rainbowdreams.com:2, 1293380106.26744_1.nehalem.home.rainbowdreams.com:2, 1293380106.26748_1.nehalem.home.rainbowdreams.com:2,S 1293381904.26876_1.nehalem.home.rainbowdreams.com:2,S 1293383704.26978_1.nehalem.home.rainbowdreams.com:2,S 1293384604.27005_1.nehalem.home.rainbowdreams.com:2,S 1293385504.27067_1.nehalem.home.rainbowdreams.com:2,S 1293386404.27105_1.nehalem.home.rainbowdreams.com:2,S 1293387305.27158_1.nehalem.home.rainbowdreams.com:2, 1293387305.27166_1.nehalem.home.rainbowdreams.com:2, 1293388204.27193_1.nehalem.home.rainbowdreams.com:2, 1293389105.27234_1.nehalem.home.rainbowdreams.com:2,S 1293390005.27292_1.nehalem.home.rainbowdreams.com:2,S 1293390006.27298_1.nehalem.home.rainbowdreams.com:2,S 1293392706.27400_1.nehalem.home.rainbowdreams.com:2,S 1293392706.27406_1.nehalem.home.rainbowdreams.com:2,S 1293393611.27515_1.nehalem.home.rainbowdreams.com:2,S 1293396304.27673_1.nehalem.home.rainbowdreams.com:2,S 1293396305.27675_1.nehalem.home.rainbowdreams.com:2,S 1293398104.27743_1.nehalem.home.rainbowdreams.com:2,S 1293399003.27966_1.nehalem.home.rainbowdreams.com:2,S I have so far been unable to observe a pattern as to which messages get affected. I made the assumption that perhaps the issue is a conversion issue in my existing maildir folders, but this does not appear to be the case. When I moved the existing directory out of the way and started with a fresh empty directory the issue has come back after a day or two. Unfortunately, my install of Fedora 14 overlaid the partition with Fedora 13, so I cannot confirm the version of dovecot I was using with no issues. (so very glad I use separate disk and partition for the OS!) I can say that all configuration was in one dovecot.conf file, not the multiple conf.d files I see on Fedora 14. Any assistance on what to troubleshoot next is greatly appreciated! The info about my dovecot is shown below. The maildir's are on local LVM/RAID and not remote.

[Dovecot] Dovecot consulting companies
by Timo Sirainen 30 Dec '10

30 Dec '10

Once in a while someone asks about companies who could help installing / running / etc. their mail server. I don't really know many, so I thought I'd add a wiki page about it. Feel free to add your company on the list if you offer some Dovecot related services. Write also a few words what type of services you offer. http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Consulting I'll add a link there once at least one company is listed. :) Oh and if it's not clear above, I don't mean that the list should contain companies that only offer email accounts (Dovecot or not).

[Dovecot] Reverting from 2.0. to 1.2
by Thomas Hummel 30 Dec '10

30 Dec '10

Hello Timo, I switched this morning from dovecot-1.2.12 to 2.0.8 with a basic setup (high performance login mode, Maildir, everyhing on NFS, one shared but unused namespace). No problem so far except that some Thunderbird users who wouldn't succeed in moving messages from some one folder to another. They'd get a message about some illegal character in the mailboxname (already existing mailbox of course). This is user input so I don't have any details nor sufficient element to consider it a real problem. A Thunderbird restart seems to solve the problem. My questions were : . is there a different handling in the hierarchy separator (internal or advertized for the namespace) ? (I use "/" for both namespaces and "." since in Maildir). . is there a different handling in the non-ASCII mailbox names ? Could it be related ? . if something goes really wrong, is it safe to revert to 1.2.12 ? Maybe some files has non-compatible format (dovecot-uidlist, indexes, ...) ? Thanks. -- Thomas Hummel | Institut Pasteur <hummel(a)pasteur.fr> | Pôle informatique - systèmes et réseau

[Dovecot] Dovecot 1.2.12+Postfix+Active Directory: virtual domain name dropped.
by Ran Talbott 30 Dec '10

30 Dec '10

I have a Windoze-only client who wants to move their mail hosting from godaddy.com hosting to an in-house system. I'm pitching Linux as an alternative to Exchange, and trying to set up a demonstration system for them. While a long-time Linux user, my server admin experience has been in setting up front-ends (mostly Apache-based web interfaces) for the embedded systems I specialize in. The goal is to have an IMAP server where the users don't have Linux IDs, and only need to manually login to the Active Directory domain controller. The client has multiple Internet domains, but all users are in the same Active Directory realm internally. With the help of the how-tos at linuxmail.info, I got the system to the point of being able to authenticate logins for both IMAP and SMTP (usng dovecot-SASL). I tried using PAM first, but it didn't work: running kinit from the command line takes over 90 seconds to get a ticket, and Dovecot timed out after 60 on every login attempt. So I switched to LDAP. Note: I still don't understand why, but authentication through Active Directory didn't work until I changed the querying distinguished name from the "cn=,dc=,dc=" format to "user(a)xxxx.local" format. I have Postfix using dovecot-deliver as the LDA, but I hit a snag: deliver is not putting the domain name in the path to the maildir. I have the active directory query set as: user_filter = (&(objectClass=user)(samaccountname=%n)) user_attrs = =home=/var/mailstore/%d/%n. =uid=501, =gid=501, \ =mail=maildir:/var/mailstore/%d/%n/Maildir/ When I send mail to testing.testing(a)xxxx.xxx (real domain obscured), I see this in mail.log Dec 23 10:49:24 IBMUBUNTU1 dovecot: auth(default): master in: USER#0111#011testing.testing(a)xxxx.xxx#011service=deliver Dec 23 10:49:24 IBMUBUNTU1 dovecot: auth(default): ldap(testing.testing): user search: base=dc=lawley, dc=local scope=subtree filter=(&(objectClass=user) (samaccountname=testing.testing)) fields= Dec 23 10:49:24 IBMUBUNTU1 dovecot: auth(default): ldap(testing.testing): result: objectClass(?unknown?)= cn(?unknown?)= sn(?unknown?)= givenName(?unknown?)= distinguishedName(?unknown?)= instanceType(?unknown?)= whenCreated(?unknown?)= whenChanged(?unknown?)= displayName(?unknown?)= uSNCreated(?unknown?)= uSNChanged(?unknown?)= name(?unknown?)= objectGUID(?unknown?)= userAccountControl(?unknown?)= primaryGroupID(?unknown?)= objectSid(?unknown?)= sAMAccountName(?unknown?)= sAMAccountType(?unknown?)= userPrincipalName(?unknown?)= objectCategory(?unknown?)= Dec 23 10:49:24 IBMUBUNTU1 dovecot: auth(default): master out: USER#0111#011testing.testing#011home=/var/mailstore//testing.testing. =uid=501#011gid=501#011mail=maildir:/var/mailstore//testing.testing/Maildir/ i.e., the domain does not appear in the paths to the home directory or maildir. I found a bug report in the mailing list that looks like it might be the same problem (%d not supported in user_attrs), but the fix it references is for 2.0. Is this a known problem in 1.x? Is there a fix/workaround for it? E.g., could I have Postfix generate the maidir path and pass it to deliver as the "-m" parameter? Thanks, Ran

[Dovecot] Is this really a user agent issue?
by Phil Howard 30 Dec '10

30 Dec '10

I suspect this is a user agent issue, given that Evolution is flaky in so many areas. When I deliver mail to a subfolder/subbox (e.g. the -m option in the deliver command), and Evolution doesn't know of it, yet, creating it fails, and Evolution still can't get to it. Doing things the other way around (create it in Evolution first, then deliver to it) works fine. Seems to be silliness to me. Just wondered if any Dovecot aspects might be involved ... such as the fact that the case is different (e.g. "INBOX" in the filesystem, but "Inbox" in Evolution). -- sHiFt HaPpEnS!

[Dovecot] How to get a working dovecot.conf?
by oddball56 29 Dec '10

29 Dec '10

Hi, I installed openSUSE 11.3 server version, and followed the guidelines from: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-opensuse-11.3-x86_64-ispconfig-3 Everything works, accept loggin into dovecot. For many days i tried to get logged into dovecot, from localhost, from other pc in the lan, from squirrelmail, not possible. I read manuals on http://wiki.dovecot.org/ and tried to set the passwd db like: auth default { .. passdb passwd-file { args = /etc/passwd.dovecot } .. The "args" were not accepted according to the output from dovecot -n As now i installed dovecot 20, with a fresh dovecot.conf. Ofcourse this was not working, so i 'updated' ISPConfig. Now my dovecot.conf is a mess, and i get errormessages like: Dec 20 21:00:02 AsusTT-sfn6 postfix/smtpd[7073]: fatal: no SASL authentication mechanisms And from dovecot: dovecot.pem missing from /etc/ssl/certs, so no ssl login possible also Now i am checking dovecot -n line by line and this message pops out: mail_plugin_dir: access(/usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap) failed: No such file or directory passdb { driver = pam } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf driver = sql } furtheron: ssl = no userdb { driver = passwd } userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf driver = sql } it has 64 lines. first and last_valid_uid and gid are set to 5000. In this conf i did not change anything. I would realy appreciate some help, as my only goal was to set up an imap server so i can access my mail from all over the world, and have all mail in 'one' central place, instead of scattered all over many pc's and laptops. The irony is that evrything but this works ;-p tia, for an answer.

[Dovecot] director in large(ish) environments
by Cor Bosman 28 Dec '10

28 Dec '10

Hey all, just wondering who here is running the director service in a larger environment. I just switched our whole production setup to the director and am quite pleased with the result. We're doing a peak of about 25000 tot 30000 concurrent sessions on 3 servers. But ive shut 1 server down a couple of days ago to see what would happen and 2 servers carried the load easily. (16 CPU, 24GB memory servers). If others are using the director on larger setups maybe we can all post when things do or dont work well. Now to see if the solution is better than the problem :) Cor

[Dovecot] Migrate from Maildir to mdbox
by Odhiambo Washington 28 Dec '10

28 Dec '10

Looking at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Migration/MailFormat, I do not see much on how to do a migration from Maildir to mdbox. That page isn't quite updated it looks. I have several domains (virtual) with the following storage layout: /var/spool/virtual/$domain. So the users have their mail stored as follows: /var/spool/virtual/domain1/$user/Maildir /var/spool/virtual/domain2/$user/Maildir /var/spool/virtual/domain3/$user/Maildir /var/spool/virtual/domainN/$user/Maildir >From the wiki, I am told the steps to take are: 1. Set mail_location=mdbox:~/mdbox 2. Run "doveadm mirror -u username maildir:~/Maildir" The instruction above confuses me because in my situation, I don't have a "username" per se. dovecot-deliver knows how to figure out my usernames and their mail_location settings. How do I derive my "username" when users are virtual, stored in MySQL back end? Again, the right command seems to rely on dsync, not "doveadm mirror". I could manually get all the values for the users for each domain and run: dysnc -u $u -o "mail_location=maildir:/var/spool/virtual/domain1/$u/Maildir" mirror "mdbox:/var/spool/virtual/domain1/$u/mdbox" This is so manual, especially because I have to (if I remember well) create /var/spool/virtual/domain1/$u/mdbox (and have the permissions right) before running dysnc. Is there an easier way out, perhaps?? -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Damn!!

[Dovecot] passwd, gid and uid
by Mauricio Tavares 25 Dec '10

25 Dec '10

I forgot the answer for this: in http://wiki.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/PasswdFile, we have the passwd file defined as user:password:uid:gid:(gecos):home:(shell):extra_fields What should the uid and gid be associated with? In my setup I told postfix to use Dovecot LDA's deliver, which then is saving files as uid:gid of 1500:1500. How would that affect the uid:gid used in the passwd file? From what I read in the dovecot's wiki, you want them *not* to be anything that has the rights to access the emails. So, does that mean any value for them will do?

[Dovecot] Maildir feature I'd like to see - SSD for newer messages
by Marc Perkel 24 Dec '10

24 Dec '10

SSD drives are very fast but expensive. So I have a crude idea that I'd like to see. May not be practical but would like to get some thoughts on it. Some new SSDs use SATA 3 (6gb/sec) with 355/mb/sec read speeds and 215MB/sec write. Put these in raid 0 and it screams! Can you imagine how fast that would be? What would be nice is if new email were on faster drives with old email being migrated to larger mechanical cheaper storage. Perhaps messages over a month old? From dovecot's perspective it would sort of all look the same but maybe one a week a script would run migrating older messages to slower media. It would also make backups easier. The faster newer messages could be archived hourly. On the weekend after the archiving script was run the older message could be backed up once a week. I'm not sure what it would take to make dovecot seamlessly access email from two different locations or if this is practical. Just wanted to throw the idea out there to see if something sticks.

[Dovecot] Is this an index problem?
by Chris Barnes 23 Dec '10

23 Dec '10

This is my first post to this list/gmane newsgroup, so please be gentle with me.... :-) Here's my situation: I have a user (the "main boss secretary") who uses MS Outlook 2007 as her email client. She has over 46,000 messages in her inbox, with nobody knows how many more in 75+ different folders & subfolders. Surprisingly, her response time wasn't too terrible up until we had to reboot our mail server the other day (actually, restoring the entire server from a backup). Now it takes anywhere from 10 to 60 seconds for her to switch from 1 folder to another. Details: * Server is Debian running Postfix and Dovecot (both the current release). Using Maildir format stored in the user's ~/Maildir folder. * User connects to server via Imaps. Connection is local using gigabit network (ie. it ain't the network). * Yes, we did all the things on the Outlook side -thinking that is where the problem lays. Rebuild the .pst file, had Outlook re-index, compacted the .pst file, etc. So now I'm thinking that maybe I need to just wipe out all of the ~/Mailder/dovecot* files (including all those in sub-directories) and let it all reindex. Which begets 3 questions: (1) will this help? (2) anyone have a shell script that will remove all those dovecot* files from the user's directory AND all the sub-directories? (3) Any other suggestions I might be missing? -- Chris Barnes

[Dovecot] Deliver limit based of number of destination recipients and size of mails, any option to do that?
by Andrés Yacopino 23 Dec '10

23 Dec '10

I have a mail server with postfix, dovecot (1.2.15) and deliver lda (dovecot) with 350 users. I have the problem that in this christmas the employees are sending some big files (mainly powerpoints files) to a lot of recipients, because of that the server get a lot of charge (is a Xeon quad core 5405 with 4GB of Ram), i have four disks in Raid 5 configuration (HP E200 controller, not very fast) Is there any option to limit this type of delivery, the total size of the mails delivered to each user (total recipients * size of mail), in dovecot deliver. I don't want to limit the concurrent delivery more lower than 350 recipients and the max size of the mail we can send is 15M. Thanks a lot, -- Andrés Fernando Yacopino

[Dovecot] trying to make cmusieve happen globally
by Phil Howard 22 Dec '10

22 Dec '10

In Dovecot 1.1.11 cmusieve is apparently integrated in the Ubuntu 9.10 package "dovecot-common" since the files are there. I am wanting to right now just do a very basic test of the setup to see how it runs before doing more sophisticated steps that could obscure any errors or bugs (e.g. unit testing). So I took the following example sieve script from the wiki1 documentation: require "fileinto"; if header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" "YES" { fileinto "spam"; } and recoded it to skip the test and just always do the fileinto step like so: require "fileinto"; fileinto "spamtest"; Then I configured my dovecot.conf file (via dovecot-postfix.conf it really points to) by setting: protocol lda { ... mail_plugins = cmusieve mail_plugin_dir = /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda ... } and: plugin { sieve_global_path = /etc/dovecot/sieve-global.d/spam.sieve } I manually compiled /etc/dovecot/sieve-global.d/spam.sieve so there also exists /etc/dovecot/sieve-global.d/spam.sievec in the same directory. Then I restarted both Dovecot and Postfix. Mail is being delivered, but still only to the same place it always has. The filesystem shows these sieve files are not being accessed at all. I've read documents http://wiki1.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve and http://wiki1.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve/CMU to come up with this. But it just doesn't seem to be happening. So I guess it is a good thing I've broken my testing down into smaller units. Anything standout that I misinterpreted about the documentation? If not, I can post the whole config files (in case there is a conflict with something else I have done). FYI, I'm only trying to do a global sieve, not per-user sieve scripts. I'll tackle per-user stuff at a later date, after the global is working. -- sHiFt HaPpEnS!

I'm using: - CentOS 5.5 - Kernel 2.6.18-194.26.1.el5 x86_64 - Dovecot 2.0.8 (from source) - Postfix 2.7.2 (from source) - MySQL 5.0.77 (CentOS binary) - Postfixadmin 2.3.2 (from source) - Horde Webmail 1.2.9 - Thunderbird 3.1.7 (from CentOS) I follow this how to: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/DovecotLDAPostfixAdminMySQL I was able to send and recieve e-mail via Postfix/Dovecot. I'm having troubles in the quota. As I said, I use Postfixadmin to manage users. When I log in Horde, it says that the quota is unlimited. Thunderbird too. I think it's because of the configuration on Dovecot. Here it's my confs files: ===== dovecot.conf ===== #ssl_cert_file = /etc/pki/dovecot/certs/myserver.example.com.crt #ssl_key_file = /etc/pki/dovecot/private/myserver.example.com.key #ssl_ca_file = /etc/pki/dovecot/certs/ca-bundle.crt #default_login_user = nobody disable_plaintext_auth = no log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log auth_mechanisms = plain login first_valid_uid = 200 last_valid_uid = 200 mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%u ssl = no passdb { args = /usr/local/dovecot/etc/dovecot/sql.conf driver = sql } plugin { #acl = vfile:/usr/local/dovecot/etc/dovecot/acls quota = maildir:storage=10240:messages=1000 trash = /usr/local/dovecot/etc/dovecot/trash.conf } service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { group = vmail mode = 0660 user = vmail } unix_listener auth-master { group = vmail mode = 0660 user = vmail } unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = vmail mode = 0660 user = postfix } user = dovecot } userdb { args = /usr/local/dovecot/etc/dovecot/sql.conf driver = sql } userdb { driver = prefetch } protocol imap { imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail mail_plugins = quota imap_quota } protocol pop3 { mail_plugins = quota pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh } protocol lda { mail_plugins = quota postmaster_address = postmaster(a)mydomain.com #log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log #info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log } ===== ===== sql.conf ===== driver = mysql connect = host=localhost dbname=postfix user=dovecot password=password user_query = SELECT concat('/var/vmail/', maildir) as home, concat('maildir:/var/vmail/', maildir) as mail, 200 AS uid, 200 AS gid, concat('maildir:storage=', floor(quota/1024)) AS quota FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active = '1' ===== ===== mysql ===== mysql> select * from mailbox; +----------------------+------------------------------------+--------------+-----------------------+---------+------------+----------------+---------------------+---------------------+--------+ | username | password | name | maildir | quota | local_part | domain | created | modified | active | +----------------------+------------------------------------+--------------+-----------------------+---------+------------+----------------+---------------------+---------------------+--------+ | teste(a)mydomain.com | $1$bb3d6a71$IF/FORTbdoIqdzBLuSciJ0 | E-mail Teste | mydomain.com/teste/ | 1024000 | teste | mydomain.com | 2010-12-17 10:32:16 | 2010-12-17 11:46:24 | 1 | +----------------------+------------------------------------+--------------+-----------------------+---------+------------+----------------+---------------------+---------------------+--------+ ===== ===== mysql_virtual_mailbox_limit_maps.cf ===== user = postfix password = password hosts = localhost dbname = postfix query = SELECT quota FROM mailbox WHERE username='%s' AND active = '1' ===== I think it's it.

Please reply to the mailinglist as well. I am not the only one who can help you out.

The Tbird add-on as protocol logging facility, so you could check that to find out where it hangs exactly. Unfortunately, such issues are notoriously hard to debug when the problems don't occur consistently. I'm hoping Timo can provide some additional insight on this.
