[Dovecot] user/domain-dependent autosubscribe ?
by Per Jessen 03 Sep '10

03 Sep '10

Newbie alert! Dovecot 2.0rc3 I've got autosubscribe working very well, but I need to make it dependent on the domain - e.g. domain example.com will have folders (a,b,c), while domain example2.com will have (d,e,f). Any hints on how to achieve that? /Per Jessen, Zürich

[Dovecot] Best way to migrate from qmail-ldap's autoreply?
by Attila Nagy 03 Sep '10

03 Sep '10

Hi, qmail-ldap uses four LDAP attributes for handling autoreplies in qmail-local: - deliverymode (to see whether the autoreply should be send) - mailreplytext, which is a base64 encoded multiline string* - mailreplystart and mailreplystop, unix dates I'm wondering how this could be handled with Dovecot (2.0) in the most easier way. All I could find out so far: - patching the code - writing a plugin (it it possible to get these LDAP attributes in the LMTPd with a single userdb-lookup and get it from the plugin during a new mail event? Any examples?) - conditionally provide these values to a sieve script and process them accordingly (the base64 string and maybe the dates seem to be hard for the first glimpse) the mad stuff: - using an LD_PRELOAD library, which emulates per user sieve scripts according to LDAP lookups (gives a lot more flexibility) - an LMTP proxy/server, which does all this and forwards the traffic to the Dovecot LMTPd/deliver process * a sample mailreplytext looks like this: '''%HEADER% Content-type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" távol vagyok''' (of course this is in UTF-8).

[Dovecot] Maybe wrong quota recalculation behaviour on overquota delivery try
by Luca Palazzo 03 Sep '10

03 Sep '10

Hi all, we are experencing some, may be strange, slowness in our dovecot/postfix mail system. We have three dovecot 2.0.1 server with LMTP, POP3 and IMAP enabled. Three shared OCFS2 filesystem are used for mail storage. We have too a load balancer based on dovecot director in front of these three server. Our SMTP cluster receives mail and send by LMTP to load balancer. Everything work flowless, but sometime, under heavy load, three server slow down a lot. Our mail gateway logs a lot of: status=deferred (host 10.194.1.20[10.194.1.20] said: 451 4.4.0 Remote server not answering (DATA output timeout) IP 10.194.1.20 is dovecot director. Looking at mbox servers log nothing seem to happen, but stracing lmtp process we can see stat system calls to all Maildir files, as if dovecot was recalculating quota and regenerating maildirsize file. It happens always when LMTP tries to deliver a mail to an overquota account. Is this possible and right? How can we look deeper in system to have more information? Best regards Luca PS: dovecot configuration for maildir servers is: # 2.0.1: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.26-2-686-bigmem i686 Debian 5.0.5 auth_master_user_separator = * auth_verbose = yes disable_plaintext_auth = no mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir mail_plugins = $mail_plugins notify mail_log quota managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = comparator-i;octet comparator-i;ascii-casemap fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date spamtest spamtestplus virustest passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } plugin { mail_log_events = delete undelete expunge copy mailbox_delete mailbox_rename mail_log_fields = uid box msgid from size quota = maildir:User quota quota_warning = storage=95%% quota-warning.sh 95 %u quota_warning2 = storage=80%% quota-warning.sh 80 %u sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve sieve_global_dir = /etc/dovecot/sieve/global/ sieve_global_path = /etc/dovecot/sieve/default.sieve } protocols = imap pop3 lmtp sieve service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { group = dovecot mode = 0600 user = dovecot } } service director { inet_listener { port = 8100 } } service lmtp { inet_listener lmtp { address = 10.194.1.31 127.0.0.1 ::1 port = 24 } } service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve { address = 10.194.1.31 127.0.0.1 ::1 port = 4190 } process_min_avail = 0 service_count = 1 } service quota-warning { executable = script /virtual/shared/quota-warning.sh unix_listener quota-warning { user = vmail } user = dovecot } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } verbose_proctitle = yes protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins quota sieve } protocol lda { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins quota } protocol imap { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins quota imap_quota } protocol pop3 { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins quota }

[Dovecot] minor director issues
by Cor Bosman 03 Sep '10

03 Sep '10

I noticed 2 minor things with the director. 1) if I start 2 directors, but in 1 of them I dont add the other as a director_servers, they both start spamming the logfiles really really fast. It seems there is no backoff mechanism in the protocol between directors. 2) user mail server ip expire time cor 194.109.26.171 2010-09-02 14:32:13 <unknown> 194.109.26.172 2010-09-02 14:33:13 Why does it say 'unknown'? That session is active, im manually logged in with telnet, issued a login and a select inbox. The first one is a normal mail client login. Regards, Cor

[Dovecot] Suggested location for single-dbox
by William Blunn 03 Sep '10

03 Sep '10

I've updated http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailLocation regarding a typical mail_location entry for dbox. Previously it said: mail_location = dbox:~/dbox but of course "dbox" is now the old name for "sdbox", so the example should be updated to say "sdbox" and there might/ought also to be an example for "mdbox". In http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/dbox the example mail_location for mdbox is given as "mdbox:~/mdbox", so I have followed that for "MailLocation". So I have changed it to say # single-dbox mail_location = sdbox:~/dbox or: # multi-dbox mail_location = mdbox:~/mdbox I didn't know whether to change the directory for sdbox to "~/sdbox" or to leave it as it is. For the time being I have left it at "~/dbox" --- following the example given should allow new installations of Dovecot 2 to be able to read any existing single-dbox data which used the historically-suggested "~/dbox" location, whilst at the same time avoiding using the old mailbox format name of "dbox".

Hello, I want to create a plugin to dovecot 2.0.1, to call a on the deliver action. My plugin work even if I include other libs like mysql or wathever I tried to use the "sql-api.h" (lib-sql), but at runtime, I have : "undefined symbol: sql_init", "Fatal: Couldn't load required plugins" Is it possible to use lib-sql api or mysql libs in a plugin ? I've tried with lda or lmtp plugin with the same result... Any idea ? Charly.

[Dovecot] My "%%" variables in the namespace settings do not appear to be expanding.
by Kenneth Cope 02 Sep '10

02 Sep '10

Hello, I've been using the dovecot 1.2.x branch server software for a while now. With the advent of the 2.0.x branch going 'stable' I decided to attempt a migration and make use of some of the features that I've not needed before. One of these is the shared folder/namespace feature. No luck. I've hit a wall and can not determine the problem. At the moment it looks like a bug to me, but it may well be that I'm missing some related configuration, or file permission. I can not get the %% variable expansion in a namespace to work. What I end up with, on an IMAP connection is a directory named, for instance, '%h'. The same goes for any of the %% variables used at this point. My current set-up is 'not' the same as the current setup and I'm using virtual users that are not 'live' on the current system. I would really appreciate it if someone could cast an eye over my config and let me know if I've missed something obvious. Thanks.

[Dovecot] Dovecot - some more optimisations
by Len7hir 02 Sep '10

02 Sep '10

I did some more optimisation. Most performance hit in Dovecot do "for loop" in string operations. In one case (in message-parser.c) "for loop" has another "for" inside with the same variable used as iterator. This case is very hard to optimise by compiler. I do changes only in top functions listed in oprofile. Maybe I do more in future. Code was analysed and tested but it's hard to generate all cases. It's working well in production server (I'm monitoring). In istream-crlf.c I've changed one thing. When destination buffer is full after '\r' addition (to dest), It didn't skip '\n' in source buffer. I think this was buggy in earlier code, and '\n' was skipped (this piece of code is used very rare). Please check this out. This can help in huge e-mail systems :P And another problem. Why You use safe_memset instead of memset? Now this function have the largest impact in Dovecot performance. Another on list is t_push. Regards, Len7hir

When authenticating, there's where my problem is, I can't have ALL user e-mails under "ou=people", maybe just 1, so I need to search under "ou=services", there I have all user email addresses, and by using "edupersonPrincipalName", I want to point to the right location under "ou=people", where I have the user password. edupersonPrincipalName is the attribute present under "ou=services" and "ou=people" that links the entries. I tried to do it by changing passdb filter file, like this: pass_filter = (&(objectclass=eduPerson)(mail=%u)) pass_attrs = userPassword=userdb_password,eduPersonPrincipalName=userdb_user It works, but changes the username to the value of "edupersonprincipalname", and this changes the mailbox name. Dovecot accesses the wrong mailbox then (something like 29859085900(a)example.org) * My question is: is it possible to change the passdb filter, so it searches for somemail(a)sub1.example.org (under ou=services), then it gets the value of "edupersonprincipalname" (the unique identifier, present under "services" and "people"), and with that value, it looks under "people" the person with that identifier and validates the password. It would be a filter inside a filter, sort of. thanks, and sorry if this is a little offtopic. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.

[Dovecot] Filtering virtual mailbox using other virtual mailbox?
by Giovanni Giorgi 01 Sep '10

01 Sep '10

Hi All, my name is Giovanni and I am new to dovecot. I have installed version 2.0 the past week and I find it very powerful. I have started to play with the virtual mailbox plugin. I was unable to do a virtual mailbox filtering out the contents of other mailbox, for instance I have a virtual/spam mailbox which filter out all the spam thanks to spamassassin. This mailbox is virtual, its description is INBOX -Trash -Trash/* -Junk subject SPAM I'd like to do a simple virtual/ham mbox using this dovecot-virtual INBOX -virtual/spam to: jj(a)gioorgi.com but it seems not working. it does not filter the spam. It is possible to do such thing, or I am trying to do something not possible at all? Thank you (\__/) (='.'=) (")_(") Giovanni Giorgi jj(a)gioorgi.com

[Dovecot] Help with Public Folder Configuration
by Joy 01 Sep '10

01 Sep '10

Dear All, I am trying to use Public Folder feature of dovecot but having some confusion with the configuration part as well as understanding the same. Here is output of doveconf -n which i think required to help me - mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = separator = . type = private } namespace { list = children location = maildir:/var/mail/public prefix = Public. separator = . subscriptions = no type = public } plugin { acl = vfile:/usr/local/dovecot/dovecot-acl/acl } after making this configuration i also created subfolder inside /var/mail/public which looks like following:- mail1:~# less /var/mail/public/ dovecot-acl-list .Public/ mail1:~# less /var/mail/public/.Public/Maildir/ cur/ new/ tmp/ I have changed default permission to [ chown -R vmail:vmail /var/mail ] on base public folder. Now I am able to see the public folder from webmail as well as from thunderbird but no display for .Public folder. I am expecting that .Public folder will be visible to all but no one will be allowed to delete and make any change in that folder, I am also using global ACL in my configuration. Please let me know what i am doing wrong because not getting any error in log, Correct me if i am understanding wrong. Thanks

[Dovecot] Broken SELECT ""/EXAMINE ""
by Michael M. Slusarz 01 Sep '10

01 Sep '10

a EXAMINE INBOX [...] a OK [READ-ONLY] Select completed. a EXAMINE "" a NO Empty mailbox name. [Should be in authenticated mode with no active mailbox. But...] a STATUS INBOX (UIDVALIDITY) * STATUS "INBOX" (UIDVALIDITY 1255685337) a OK [CLIENTBUG] Status on selected mailbox completed. a UNSELECT a OK Unselect completed. a STATUS INBOX (UIDVALIDITY) * STATUS "INBOX" (UIDVALIDITY 1255685337) a OK Status completed. Seeing a whole bunch of the CLIENTBUGs in the logs since IMP uses imapproxy and relies on the proxy to unselect the mailbox when a LOGOUT is caught. Thus, when we rebuild the connection on the next page connection, we assume that there is no active mailbox (we actually use LIST-STATUS to do folder polling, but we still use STATUS when we only need data on a single mailbox). imapproxy *should* really be using UNSELECT, but that looks like a different (imapproxy) bug. michael

[Dovecot] 2.0 migration weirdnesses: logs and hang
by Kyle Wheeler 01 Sep '10

01 Sep '10

Hello, I'm testing out an upgrade to dovecot 2.0 from 1.2.11, and I've stumbled across two weirdnesses that I need help with. First, I'm only getting one log message: master: Info: Dovecot v2.0.0 starting up After that, while I can connect, log in, read mail, etc., no further log messages are created. I have log_path set to /dev/stderr, and no syslog_facility setting, so... what could be going wrong? Second, when I create a new mailbox and copy messages across namespaces, dovecot hangs. The mailbox is created and the messages are copied successfully, but dovecot simply stops responding. I can't even logout! I'm attaching my config file, if it helps. ~Kyle -- The effect of liberty to individuals is, that they may do what they please; we ought to see what it will please them to do, before we risk congratulations. -- Edmund Burke

[Dovecot] Some questions about Shared mailboxes
by Mihajlin Evgenij 01 Sep '10

01 Sep '10

Hi, again. 1. Can somebody explain me about dovecot's shared mailboxes? 2. What does it do while searching shared mailboxes (debug_log cannot explain it)? What files is it looking for? 3. Need i set dovecot-shared file into directory which are shared (if i want to have separate flags for separate users)? 4. Some errors are hard to understand. For example, # pwd /var/spool/vmail/domains/badmltd.dn.ua # ls -l drwx------ 3 mailnull mail 4096 Авг 27 09:24 admin drwx------ 3 mailnull mail 4096 Июн 3 10:51 exim drwx------ 3 mailnull mail 4096 Мар 26 15:08 iif drwx-w---- 3 mailnull mail 4096 Мар 11 15:53 jack drwx------ 2 mailnull mail 4096 Авг 27 09:28 Maildir drwx-w---- 3 mailnull mail 4096 Авг 27 09:25 test Why did dovecot create Maildir folder??? And what mean this lines at the end of debug.log.

Hi, first of all for forgive me for my english. I have several questions. 1. There are 2 user/passwd databases in my setup - ldap and mysql. when i login into one user with telnet 127.0.0.1 143 and share inbox to some users - records in dict-file apears? but if i delete some acls - records indict-file stays same. 2. I see in error.log such errors. can somebody explain what do dovecot list shared folder (what files is looking for, how it see variables %u and %%u, ...)

[Dovecot] (no subject)

Hi, I'd like to use Global ACLs to limit user's access to individual folders (e.g. read only). The dovecot-acl file limiting my user "test": user=test lr works fine when I put it into the user's mailbox /home/vmail/test/Maildir/.Records but gets ignored in /etc/dovecot/acls/Records Bellow is my dovecot -n output: # 2.0.0: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.18-194.11.1.el5 i686 CentOS release 5.5 (Final) auth_master_user_separator = * auth_mechanisms = plain ntlm disable_plaintext_auth = no mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir mail_plugins = acl passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/users driver = passwd-file } plugin { acl = vfile:/etc/dovecot/acls } protocols = imap userdb { args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/home/vmail/%u allow_all_users=yes driver = static } protocol imap { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins imap_acl } Any help will be appreciated.

[Dovecot] configure forgets to add -lgcc_s under Solaris 10
by Stephan Schulz 01 Sep '10

01 Sep '10

Hi all! I built dovecot-1.2.14 on Solaris 10 with gcc as well as cc and had reproducible crashes of imap-login: Aug 31 19:00:05 dovecot: Info: Dovecot v1.2.14 starting up Aug 31 19:00:10 imap-login: Info: Login: user=<someuser>, method=PLAIN, rip=<remote_ip>, lip=<local_ip> Aug 31 19:00:10 IMAP(someuser): Error: ld.so.1: imap: fatal: libgcc_s.so.1: open failed: No such file or directory Aug 31 19:00:10 dovecot: Error: child 26222 (imap) killed with signal 9 To solution was to set the environment variable LIBS to "-lgcc_s" before running configure. I think this is a bug as this library should be added automatically by configure to the Makefile when considered necessary. The same problem applies to Dovecot-2.0.1 also, which gave the same error message. regards, Stephan P.S. I found a similar message of this issue for version 1.0.rc27 but the suggestions didn't help (i.e. /usr/sfw/lib is already in the RPATH).

[Dovecot] Static passdb support?
by Brad Davidson 01 Sep '10

01 Sep '10

Timo, Do you have any plans to add a static passdb? I'm essentially emulating one with sqlite on my director - have it connect to /dev/null and return three static fields for all queries. Works fine, but it would seem a little cleaner to me if I could just do: passdb { driver = static args = password='' nopasswd='Y' proxy='Y' } -Brad

[Dovecot] doveadm quota get -u someone@ourdomains.com
by Jerrale G 01 Sep '10

01 Sep '10

With the expire running from mysql, on 2.0.1, we get no errors with: " doveadm expunge -A mailbox Trash savedbefore 7d" we have the mail_plugins defined differently for each protocol ({imap=quota,expire,imap_quota} {pop3=quota,expire} {lda=quota,expire,sieve}). When trying "doveadm quota get -u someone(a)ourdomains.com" the output is: "doveadm(root): Fatal: Unknown command 'quota', but plugin quota exists. Try to set mail_plugins=quota" When adding an additional, global mail_plugins=quota, we get: "Segmentation fault" Is there a specific, proper way beyond the way I read of 1.2.x for defining the plugins. Please let me know how and what plugins I should define Jerrale G -- Jerrale G. SC Senior Admin

Thank you again. Yes, you're on the way :-) Problem was that in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf was: mail_location = maildir:/home/vmail/%u/ instead of my new line: mail_location = maildir:/home/vmail/%d/%u/ I think it's all right now.

Thank you for your response. Yes, I know that I'm using maildir, but when we create an account, file sistem look likes: /home/vmail/domain.com/user1/new /home/vmail/domain.com/user1/cur /home/vmail/domain.com/user1/tmp My problem is that dovecot is creating additional folders: /home/vmail/user1/new /home/vmail/domain.com/user/cur /home/vmail/domain.com/user/tmp Mail are received in first directories, second ones are created but not used. What's the problem?

[Dovecot] Problems Converting Maildir to mdbox
by Christian Felsing 31 Aug '10

31 Aug '10

Hello, I would like to convert all users mail from maildir to mdbox. My Dovecot version is 2.0.1, converted from 1.2.13 but config was rewritten from scratch. http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Migration/MailFormat says following: maildir -> mdbox migration. Set mail_location=mdbox:~/mdbox and run doveadm convert -u username maildir:~/Maildir but doveadm does not know a command like "convert". Is there a _working_ way to convert maildir to mdbox ? How to do that with all Dovecot mail users (about 10000) ? Christian

[Dovecot] Running auth as root
by Egbert Jan van den Bussche 31 Aug '10

31 Aug '10

Hi, I seem to be forced to run the auth proces as root because I want to use pam for local users. My gut feeling says that this is Not Good. Is there another way? For the virtual users 'vmail' is good enough because that user may access the MySQL database. This is on Ubuntu server 10.04.1 and Dovecot 1.2.9. TIA, Egbert Jan

[Dovecot] Size limit for a single mail in the IMAP store?
by Ralf Hildebrandt 31 Aug '10

31 Aug '10

Postfix has "message_size_limit = 26214400", but that doesn't keep my users from sending huge messages which canot be sent, but can be stored in the IMAP "Sent" folder. Is it possible to set a size limit for the size of a single mail? -- Ralf Hildebrandt Geschäftsbereich IT | Abteilung Netzwerk Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin Campus Benjamin Franklin Hindenburgdamm 30 | D-12203 Berlin Tel. +49 30 450 570 155 | Fax: +49 30 450 570 962 ralf.hildebrandt(a)charite.de | http://www.charite.de

[Dovecot] doveadm expunge -A mailbox Trash savedbefore 30d
by Jerrale G 31 Aug '10

31 Aug '10

In the shell: ,doveadm(root): Error: User listing returned failure,doveadm: Error: Failed to iterate through some users In the log: dovecot: auth: Error: sql: Iterate query failed: Table 'mail.users' doesn't exist (using built-in default iterate_query: SELECT username, domain FROM users) Why is dovecot trying to "select username, domain from users" when the "service auth" is setup to "select homedir, maildir, sieve_dir, from MAILBOXES.... the same with the password query except for selecting password from mail.mailboxes. The expire dictionary is EXACTLY like the example you posted in the wiki2. I can't remember whether I posted this thread before or not; I remember writing it two days ago but I'm not sure if I sent it as I can't find it in this "mailing lists" folder. Jerrale G.

[Dovecot] Is there a way to catch mailbox and message flag changes?
by John O'Brien 31 Aug '10

31 Aug '10

Guys, We have been trying to establish if there is a way to get some type of notification from Dovecot when a message is appended to a mailbox or when a message has its flags updated. These are the 2 use cases: A message is appended to the mailbox "/Watch", we want to trigger "processing" of the message immediately it arrives. A message in the "Inbox" has its status changed from Unseen to Seen, we want to trigger some code to indicate the message has been "processed". Regards, John

[Dovecot] NTLM authentication does not work
by Alexander Cherniak 31 Aug '10

31 Aug '10

Dear Experts, I configured Samba, Kerberos, etc., can login to my CentOS using ADS account, but missing something in my Dovecot config. Windbind seems to work: [root@aCentOs2 dovecot]# wbinfo -a wAlex%pass plaintext password authentication succeeded challenge/response password authentication succeeded Same is true for ntlm_auth helper: [root@aCentOs2 dovecot]# /usr/bin/ntlm_auth --username=wAlex --password=pass NT_STATUS_OK: Success (0x0) But I couldn't get into Dovecot (with or without auth_use_winbind option): . login wAlex pass . NO [ALERT] Unsupported authentication mechanism. Despite very verbose logging, there no clues there. Bellow's my dovecot -n output: # 2.0.0: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.18-194.11.1.el5 i686 CentOS release 5.5 (Final) auth_debug = yes auth_debug_passwords = yes auth_master_user_separator = * auth_mechanisms = ntlm auth_use_winbind = yes auth_verbose = yes auth_verbose_passwords = plain debug_log_path = /var/log/Dovecot/dovecot_debug.log disable_plaintext_auth = no info_log_path = /var/log/Dovecot/dovecot_info.log log_path = /var/log/Dovecot/dovecot.log mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir protocols = imap ssl_cert = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem userdb { args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/home/vmail/%u allow_all_users=yes driver = static } It might be irrelevant, but although the lines "auth_use_winbind = yes" and "auth_winbind_helper_path = /usr/bin/ntlm_auth" are close together in the config file, I cannot see the latter when run dovecot -n. I am quite new to Dovecot and will appreciate any help. Thanks, Alex.

[Dovecot] Possible erroneous "aborted login attempts"
by Jerrale G 31 Aug '10

31 Aug '10

Aug 29 22:51:27 server1 dovecot: imap-login: Aborted login (no auth attempts): rip=(obfuscated), lip=173.50.101.12, TLS Aug 29 22:51:27 server1 dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=........... before most every successful login, the same second of time, dovecot has the above message. This is not a huge problem but our firewall is looking for aborted login attempts, for imap/pop3 (relevant to dovecot) dos attempts and, if many people start having problems of their packets being dropped, we will have to stop looking for the statement or lower security slightly, more attempts over a period of time before filtering. However, thanks to your idle feature, there is less of these messages; so, I don't think we will have a problem. The only client that doesn't have a problem is our php webmail but we don't look in dovecot's log for failed attempts from here; as, it is from the same ip, to dovecot from php, constantly without reference to the user. This has been happening since 1.2.11 with us. We don't use any imap relay but was looking into imapproxy for cacheing speed and preventing advanced ddos attempts, those from users with access.
