[Dovecot] Several errors
by FraNL 25 Jul '09

25 Jul '09

Hi, Running OS: CentOS 5.3 (2.6.18-128.2.1.el5) 1. My Linux distribution comes with Dovecot 1.0.7. After trying to make it running, I encoutnered many problems. So I decided to upgrade to 1.2.1. When running dovecot -r from CLI, it returns with version 1.2.1. But at the top of the log file it says: Info: Dovecot v1.0.7 starting up So I am not sure which version I am running. That's the first problem. The other two problems I am having were also actual before updating to 1.2.1: 2. Every minute, the following lines (except for the timestamps, which are different, ofcourse) are being added to my log file: dovecot: Jul 24 23:54:24 Error: imap-login: USER environment missing dovecot: Jul 24 23:54:24 Error: imap-login: USER environment missing dovecot: Jul 24 23:54:24 Error: child 3712 (login) returned error 89 dovecot: Jul 24 23:54:24 Error: child 3713 (login) returned error 89 dovecot: Jul 24 23:54:24 Error: imap-login: USER environment missing dovecot: Jul 24 23:54:24 Error: child 3714 (login) returned error 89 3. As soon as a user tries to log on via POP3 (telnet localhost pop3), the user is kicked out.

[Dovecot] Are host names a secret?
by Timo Sirainen 24 Jul '09

24 Jul '09

Some time ago I added the ability for IMAP clients to fetch messages' GUIDs using FETCH X-GUID command. Because of a bug it wasn't working in 1.2.0 or 1.2.1, but I've fixed it now. But now I'm starting to wonder: With Maildirs the GUIDs are the maildir base filenames, which contain host names. Is it a bad idea to expose them to users?

[Dovecot] Maildir from offlineimap, INBOX folder created
by Ng Oon-Ee 24 Jul '09

24 Jul '09

Hi, I'm using dovecot to serve up a Maildir created/served by offlineimap. The layout is typical (as far as I know) of maildirs, with the root folder having cur, tmp, new, and subfolders being a folder within the root folder. Since I'd previously used Evolution to access this maildir, my subfolders were actual subfolders (separator /). Anyway, it all works spiffingly well, except that I can't see my inbox at all. What happens is that attempting to subscribe to Inbox will create an INBOX folder in the root folder, which is (of course) empty, so I see an empty folder. For completeness, my dovecot -n... # 1.1.17: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.30-ARCH x86_64 ext3 protocols: imap listen: localhost ssl_disable: yes disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login mail_location: maildir:/home/data/Profiles/OfflineIMAP/root:LAYOUT=fs auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd Thanks for the help.

[Dovecot] Problem with sieve scripts including sieve scripts
by Mauricio Tavares 23 Jul '09

23 Jul '09

I have the following global cmusieve scripts defined in /etc/dovecot/sieve, which is owned by the user deliver is run (virtual) as defined in the lda session of dovecot.conf: global-spam.script ====================================== require ["fileinto"]; # Move spam to spam folder if header :contains "X-Spam-Level" "********************" { fileinto "Spam"; # Stop here so that we do not reply on spam stop; } elsif header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" "Yes" { fileinto "Spam"; stop; } global-default.script ==================================== require ["include"]; include :global "global-spam.script"; i.e. all the default script does is call the spam script.

[Dovecot] 1.1.8 upgrade to 1.2

Hi, I'm hoping to upgrade to 1.2 in the next couple of days. I remember seeing something mentioning some sort of config change, but unfortunately I don't remember where I saw it nor what the config option was. Are there any gotchas I need to watch out for in the change to 1.2 from 1.1.8? I've included dovecot -n below.

[Dovecot] flat file dict

Hi, I'm using version 1.2.1 with acl. How do I use acl_shared_dict? Especially with file:-dictionary. What's the layout of that file? Is it possible that the file is ignored with the current version? If the file doesn't exist or isn't readable, I don' get any error message. Best regards, Sven

[Dovecot] Released Sieve v0.1.9 for Dovecot v1.2.1
by Stephan Bosch 23 Jul '09

23 Jul '09

Hello Dovecot users, Relatively many bugs and problems were reported recently in a short period of time. Apparently, now that Dovecot v1.2 is finally stable, the new Sieve plugin is also starting to get used much more. No known bugs remain. Let's hope I didn't spawn any new ones. Apart from the bugfixes I made the deprecated notify plugin implementation compatible with CMUSieve. You can use it, but keep in mind that the (rather stupid) denotify command is not (yet) implemented and that the $text$ substitution does not work (yes, there is a world of differences compared to enotify). Changelog Sieve v0.1.9: * Removed the unfinished sieve-filter tool from the default build. It is now only built when the --with-unfinished-features switch is supplied during configure. + Started building support for the ereject version of the reject action, which has a preference to use an SMTP/LMTP protocol error in stead of a bounce message. This is to be used to make the Sieve plugin honour Deliver's -e parameter. This is not yet finished and not built by default. + Improved 'Permission denied' error messages just like Dovecot does, precisely specifying what permission is missing to access or create a file. + Added additional headers to the list of allowed headers for the address test. The restrictive nature of the address test is not always appropriate. Still thinking of a better, less restrictive implementation. + Made the deprecated notify extension compatible with the old CMUSieve plugin. However, the denotify command and the $text$ substitution are not yet supported. + Made the discard action log a message to avoid confusion about disappearing messages. - Fixed behavior of fileinto when delivering into a namespace prefix. It now uses silent delivery into INBOX as fallback. - Fixed logging of folder namespace prefix upon delivery into a prefixed namespace. Formerly it only logged the bare folder name. - Fixed a potential segfault in the argument validation. It didn't surface because no command could have a :tag followed by an associated parameter as last argument. - Fixed segfault bug occuring in envelope test when performed on null (<>) envelope path. The fix involves a rather large restructuring of the code to make sure envelope addresses are properly handled everywhere (bug reported by Nikita Koshikov) - Envelope: fixed bug in application of address parts; failure to obtain the part would cause inappropriate match success (bug reported by Ron Lee) - Fixed extension conflict checks during validation. It could sometimes produce useless errormessages. This is currently only used by the deprecated extensions. - Forgot to remove old explicit storage library dependency (patch by Arkadiusz Miskiewicz). - Fixed compiler warnings on certain platforms regarding the use fwrite for outgoing message construction -- The releases are available as follows: http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2-sieve-0.1.9.tar.gz http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2-sieve-0.1.9.tar.gz.sig -- Have fun testing the new releases and don't hesitate to notify me when there are problems.

[Dovecot] Compiling Dovecot
by Jason Silkey 23 Jul '09

23 Jul '09

I'm attempting to compile Dovecot 1.2.1 from source with support for ManageSieve, with little success. ./configure seems to complete successfully, but make fails with the message: make: *** No targets. Stop. I checked the Makefile, and it's empty. I run into the same problem no matter the configure options, with or without the managesieve patch applied, and even with earlier versions (I also tried 1.2.0 and 1.1.17 just to see if it would work, but no go). I've had no problems compiling other software, so I'm at a bit of a loss here. Any thoughts?

[Dovecot] PAM_USER falsely assumed immutable
by Aaron Richton 23 Jul '09

23 Jul '09

In 1.2.1 there's: passdb-pam.c:230 status = pam_get_item(pamh, PAM_USER, &item); passdb-pam.c:237 auth_request_set_field(request, "user", item, NULL); so "item" is PAM_USER, which is then checked by auth_request_set_field: 1022 if (strcmp(request->user, value) != 0) { 1023 auth_request_log_debug(request, "auth", 1024 "username changed %s -> %s", 1025 request->user, value); that it hasn't changed. You're not allowed to assume that PAM_USER doesn't change. See, for example, http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/Linux-PAM-html/adg-security-user-i… to say nothing of the fact that Rutgers has PAM modules that do exactly that (change PAM_USER). This check needs to be relaxed (or, perhaps if you want a config directive for DontComplyWithThePAMSpec = true, you can have a tunable). Can this be as simple as ditching the call to auth_request_set_field, or is there concern over interactions between PAM and other auth features?

[Dovecot] Defunct processes w/ v1.2.1
by Chris O'Regan 22 Jul '09

22 Jul '09

I have limited information at the moment (currently distracted by other projects) but I'm hoping that someone has already found and solved this problem. I have a v1.2.1 installed on my development box waiting for me to tinker with the configuration. On several occasions, I have noticed that all the dovecot processes are listed as "defunct". I don't recall seeing anything significant in the logs the last time I checked. The system is not under any load. Has anyone else encountered this before? If not, I will dig deeper. BTW, ignore the fd limit warning below; limits are set in the init script. # /local/bin/dovecot -n # 1.2.1: /local/pkg/dovecot-1.2.1/root/etc/dovecot.conf Warning: fd limit 1024 is lower than what Dovecot can use under full load (more than 10240).

[Dovecot] virtual plugin question
by Nikita Koshikov 22 Jul '09

22 Jul '09

Hello list, After enabling virtual plugin in dovecot config, I got imap segmentation faults from time to time. I can't say what event trigs this behavior, but in logs I see: Jul 22 13:55:01 dovecot: Error: child 20908 (imap) killed with signal 11 (core dumped) Jul 22 13:56:43 dovecot: Error: child 19466 (imap) killed with signal 11 (core dumped) Jul 22 14:06:16 dovecot: Error: child 22629 (imap) killed with signal 11 (core dumped) Jul 22 14:08:17 dovecot: Error: child 22879 (imap) killed with signal 11 (core dumped) Here is my config section, which I added to enable virtual plugin: namespace private { prefix = Company/ separator = / location = virtual:/var/mail/virtual subscriptions = no } and "virtual" to mail_plugins in imap and lda section. Full dovecot -n config provided at the end of this message. I'm not sure, if it is save to enable virtual location for all users using the same path, but the main goal for me - to create dovecot-virtual files once for all users.

[Dovecot] Problem with INTERNALDATE when the year in localtime and GMT different
by 도원철 21 Jul '09

21 Jul '09

In my thought utc_offset function in src/lib/utc-offset.c returns wrong offset value when the year in localtime and GMT different. /* max offset of 24 hours */ if (ltm.tm_yday < gtm.tm_yday) offset = -24 * 60; else if (ltm.tm_yday > gtm.tm_yday) offset = 24 * 60; else offset = 0; I think this code should be modified as followings. /* max offset of 24 hours */ if ((ltm.tm_year == gtm.tm_year && ltm.tm_yday < gtm.tm_yday) || (ltm.tm_year < gtm.tm_year)) offset = -24 * 60; else if ((ltm.tm_year == gtm.tm_year && ltm.tm_yday > gtm.tm_yday) || (ltm.tm_year > gtm.tm_year)) offset = 24 * 60; else offset = 0; On 1 Jan. 2009, I found an error related to this code. The intrenal date of message recieved at 01-Jan-2009 07:17:38 was not display as it received. The protocol log was as followings. FETCH (INTERNALDATE “01-Jan-2009 07:17:38 -3900” RFC822.SIZE 1597 FLAGS (\Seen) ENVELOP (“Thu, 1 Jan 2009 07:17:38 +0900 (KST)” … The INTERNALDATE must be “01-Jan-2009 07:17:38 +0900”, but it was "01-Jan- 2009 07:17:38 -3900". This error may be caused by the bug in utc_offset.c. How do you think?

[Dovecot] [Bug] dovecot deliver v1.2.1 segfaults
by Nikita Koshikov 21 Jul '09

21 Jul '09

Hello list, I have noticed strange dovecot behavior with exim system-filter. I'm using exim+dovecot setup. My exim configuration have system filter enable, which restrict some attachments, like exe, vbs etc. When message with forbidden attachment received, exim accept the message, then construct bounce-message(Reject reason + original message) and returns it to sender. Trying to deliver such messages, I always get segmentation faults and message stayed in exim's queue. Others common delivers work fine. This only happens with bouncing system-filter messages.

[Dovecot] vpopmail and shared mailbox
by David Fuchs 21 Jul '09

21 Jul '09

hi all, I'm a long time courier-imap user and just switched to dovecot-1.2.1. my MTA is qmail and all user accounts are virtual vpopmail users. getting dovecot to work was mostly painless, but I am desperately trying to share a user's mailbox and can't seem to figure out how. unfortunately the documentation is not very helpful. I am trying to share the mailbox /home/vpopmail/domains/ example.com/someuser/Maildir here's what I put in dovecot.conf: namespace shared { separator = . prefix = shared.%%u. location = maildir:/home/vpopmail/domains/%%d/%%n/Maildir:INDEX=~/Maildir/shared/%%u subscriptions = no list = yes } I then logged in as someuser and did a "setacl anyone Inbox lrip". /home/vpopmail/domains/example.com/shared-mailboxes.db now contains an entry shared/shared-boxes/anyone/someuser(a)example.com 1 and /home/vpopmail/domains/example.com/someuser/Maildir/dovecot-acl has anyone ilpr however, when I connect to the server, the client does not see the "shared" namespace. also, dovecot seems to be creating empty shared-mailboxes.db in /home/vpopmail/domains/example/ (missing .com!). I'm very confused at this point, but I'm sure someone has gotten this to work and can help me out. fwiw, the output of dovecot -n is appended. thanks! - Dave.

[Dovecot] Problem with quota-dict
by Sascha Bendix 20 Jul '09

20 Jul '09

Hi, I wanted to migrate a mailserver from cyrus to dovecot. The new setup was using postfixadmin let the domain admins configure the hostet domains. To view the used quota in postfixadmin the usage of the quota dict backend is required. I have configured it according to the wiki but everytime I connect I get a sucessfully login and then every next command hangs. It seems to me, that the dict process itself is hanging. I even startet with a fresh mail box. The only way to login with my setup is to disable quota for the used protocol. My system is debian lenny based with dovecot 1.0.15 and PostgreSQL 8.3.7 as database server. My config is the following: # 1.0.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: imaps pop3s managesieve listen: [::] ssl_cert_file: /etc/ssl/certs/server.crt ssl_key_file: /etc/ssl/private/server.key login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-login login_executable(managesieve): /usr/lib/dovecot/managesieve-login login_greeting: Ready. first_valid_uid: 8 last_valid_uid: 8 mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: maildir:/var/mail/%d/%n mail_debug: yes mail_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 mail_executable(managesieve): /usr/lib/dovecot/managesieve mail_plugins(default): quota imap_quota acl mail_plugins(imap): quota imap_quota acl mail_plugins(pop3): quota mail_plugins(managesieve): mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(managesieve): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/managesieve pop3_uidl_format(default): pop3_uidl_format(imap): pop3_uidl_format(pop3): %v.%u pop3_uidl_format(managesieve): sieve_storage(default): sieve_storage(imap): sieve_storage(pop3): sieve_storage(managesieve): /var/mail/sieve/%d/%n sieve(default): sieve(imap): sieve(pop3): sieve(managesieve): /var/mail/sieve/%d/%n.sieve namespace: type: private inbox: yes auth default: user: dovecot-auth passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 user: mail group: mail plugin: quota: dict:storage=10240 proxy::quota acl: vfile:/etc/dovecot/acls sieve: /var/mail/sieve/%d/%n.sieve dict: quota: pgsql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-quota.conf My /etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-quota.conf: connect = host=localhost dbname=mail user=mail password=dovecot-passwort table = quota select_field = current where_field = path username_field = username My database table: CREATE TABLE quota ( username character varying(255) NOT NULL, path character varying(100) NOT NULL, "current" integer, CONSTRAINT quota_pkey PRIMARY KEY (username, path) ) WITH (OIDS=FALSE); ALTER TABLE quota OWNER TO mail; -- Trigger: mergequota on quota -- DROP TRIGGER mergequota ON quota; CREATE TRIGGER mergequota BEFORE INSERT ON quota FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE merge_quota(); connect = host=localhost dbname=mail user=dovecot password=jianueyeePeev5o table = quota select_field = current where_field = path username_field = username My dovecot logfile with mail_debug=yes: Jul 20 21:06:17 skippy dovecot: Dovecot v1.0.15 starting up Jul 20 21:06:17 skippy dovecot: auth(default): pgsql: Connected to mail Jul 20 21:07:07 skippy dovecot: POP3(user(a)domain.tld): Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/pop3 Jul 20 21:07:07 skippy dovecot: POP3(user(a)domain.tld): Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/pop3/lib10_quota_plugin.so Jul 20 21:07:07 skippy dovecot: POP3(user(a)domain.tld): Effective uid=8, gid=8 Jul 20 21:07:07 skippy dovecot: POP3(user(a)domain.tld): maildir: data=/var/mail/domain.tld/user Jul 20 21:07:07 skippy dovecot: POP3(user(a)domain.tld): maildir: root=/var/mail/domain.tld/user, index=/var/mail/domain.tld/user, control=, inbox= Jul 20 21:07:07 skippy dovecot: POP3(user(a)domain.tld): dict quota: uri = proxy::quota Jul 20 21:07:07 skippy dovecot: POP3(user(a)domain.tld): dict quota: byte limit = 52428800 Jul 20 21:07:07 skippy dovecot: POP3(user(a)domain.tld): dict quota: count limit = 0 Jul 20 21:07:07 skippy dovecot: pop3-login: Login: user=<user(a)domain.tld>, method=PLAIN, rip=::ffff:1.2.3.4, lip=::ffff:1.2.3.5, TLS Jul 20 21:07:07 skippy dovecot: dict: pgsql: Connected to mail Jul 20 21:07:07 skippy dovecot: dict: Timeout leak: 0x40e150 Jul 20 21:07:07 skippy dovecot: dict: WARNING: there is no transaction in progress I'm a little bit clueless because there is no significant output (even in strace).

[Dovecot] Filesystem size limitation?
by Tommy Ng 20 Jul '09

20 Jul '09

I'm new to dovecot, nice to meet you guys here. Referring to Redhat, 32bit Linux v5 GFS supports 16TB filesystem size while 64bit version supports 8 EB (1EB = 1024TB) size. Reference: http://www.redhat.com/rhel/compare/ My question is, any limitation on a single filesystem (Redhat GFS) that Dovecot can handle? or Dovecot depends only on the limitation of OS?

[Dovecot] Bug in Dovecot Managesieve or Horde ?
by Christian Felsing 20 Jul '09

20 Jul '09

Hello, there is a problem between Dovevot 1.2 Managesieve 0.11.7 and Horde webmail 1.2.2 (possibly also in 1.2.3) in imap4flags $ telnet localhost 2000 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. "IMPLEMENTATION" "dovecot" "SIEVE" "fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include body variables enotify environment" "SASL" "PLAIN LOGIN" "STARTTLS" "NOTIFY" "mailto" "VERSION" "1.0" OK "taunusstein.net imap4/pop3 ready." This shows imap4flags, Cyrus sieve shows imapflags instead that. Horde Ingos does not like that and complains about missing "imapflags". Two small patches in Horde code resolves that, but I do not know if that's the right way. cd webmail2/ingo/lib vi ./Script/sieve.php: function requires() { //return array('imapflags'); return array('imap4flags'); } vi ./tests/SieveTest.php: function testBlacklistMarker() { $bl = &new Ingo_Storage_blacklist(3); $bl->setBlacklist(array('spammer(a)example.com')); $bl->setBlacklistFolder(INGO_BLACKLIST_MARKER); $this->store($bl); //$this->assertScript('require "imapflags"; $this->assertScript('require "imap4flags"; if address :all :comparator "i;ascii-casemap" :is ["From", "Sender", "Resent-From"] "spammer(a)example.com" { addflag "\\\\Deleted"; keep; removeflag "\\\\Deleted"; stop; }'); } After that, Horde Ingo likes Dovecot mailsieve. Is it a bug of mailsieve ? Regards Christian

[Dovecot] dovecot 1.2rc5 fails to authenticate user via GSSAPI
by Michal Hlavinka 20 Jul '09

20 Jul '09

Hi, we're facing problem where dovecot 1.2rc5 is not able to authenticate user via gssapi. (I'm forwarding information from red hat's bugzilla) Steps to reproduce: 1. Install dovecot with kerberos support, create mailboxes for the client 2. Get initial credentials on client side 3. Attempt to log in via dovecot using gssapi -> login failed Client side 1. Email client displays: "[AUTHENTICATIONFAILED] Authentication failed." 2. klist before login shows: Valid starting Expires Service principal 06/18/09 20:01:01 06/19/09 20:01:01 krbtgt/realm@realm 3. klist after login attempt shows: Valid starting Expires Service principal 06/18/09 20:01:01 06/19/09 20:01:01 krbtgt/realm@realm 06/18/09 20:01:28 06/19/09 20:01:01 imap/mail.domain@realm Server side 1. /var/log/maillog: dovecot: auth(default): gssapi(user,192.168.0.1): authn_name not authorized dovecot: imap-login: Aborted login (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=<user>, method=GSSAPI, rip=192.168.0.1, lip=192.168.0.2, TLS ---------------- It is possible for the same user to login via other mechanisms. The issue reproduced with different email clients. Evolution and a custom java-based client were attempted. example of dovecot.conf: protocols = imap mail_location = maildir:/home/virtual/%u/Maildir protocol imap { } auth_krb5_keytab=/etc/dovecot.keytab auth default { mechanisms = gssapi userdb static { args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/home/virtual/%u } } ------------------------- Exactly the same dovecot setup was working just fine with dovecot 1.1 series. Authentication using kinit works just fine and kerberos infrastructure is functioning well as I use kerberos auth for other services like apache and ssh successfully. /var/log/maillog with using auth_debug=yes can be found here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=348710 Regards, Michal Hlavinka

[Dovecot] RFC: Different quota for dovecot and deliver
by Philipp Marek 20 Jul '09

20 Jul '09

Hello everybody, I've been with this question in IRC the last days, but no solution was found. So I looked into the sources, and came up with the attached (untested, not even compiled) patch against 1.2.1. Rationale ----------- I'd like to bounce on the external side, which is quite easy if the quota is stored in a SQL database; then eg. postfix can directly query it, and reject accordingly without doing any real work. Now, as discussed some time ago on the postfix list (cannot find it anymore, sorry), it would be best to *not* bounce internally, ie. when the mail is delivered in the mailbox, but to allow a small bit of over-usage instead. Thoughts ---------- Why don't we simply set the value seen by postfix down a bit? I don't think that this is the correct solution; if the difference between these two values is smaller than the allowed mail size we'd get internal bounces again. (And we wouldn't allow to *get* the amount of mail, btw, only to use it via COPY.) There are more complicated schemes, like putting a slightly higher quota in the configuration, and subtracting a bit in postfix again. I wouldn't see that as aesthetical, too. Furthermore all such schemes have the problem of being unstable - larger mails get (internally) rejected earlier than small ones. Wanted behaviour ------------------ What I'd like to achieve is that postfix uses the trigger value from the Database as well, but that deliver allows a small bit more - say 5, 10, or 20MB. Then one incoming mail simply makes the quota go over the defined limit; now postfix no longer accepts mail, but the incoming queue (amavis etc.) can be drained - at least if there's not some big hiccup in queue processing, and that's why I'd like to use a *different* quota, and not simply *none* (for deliver). Idea to solve this -------------------- The idea is that in the SQL configuration the name of an environment variable can be given to the SELECT query; this name, and the value of the environment variable, are used as an additional WHERE constraint. It would be much nicer if a stored procedure could be called with parameters (like Postfix allows), but that would mean a fair bit of change to dovecot. (And in Postgres at least the query could be rewritten with rules - but that's not that nice, either.) I've now looked into the sources, and tried to sketch the basic change that I imagine; please see the attached patch. Would something like that be acceptable? I thought for some time whether the additional query should use the filename part of the executable; then similar things could be done. But as this is a bit more general I settled for the environment variable. Thank you for all answers. Regards, Phil

[Dovecot] dovecot as lda : nothing happens

[Dovecot] Changed URLs of the automated Debian repositories
by Stephan Bosch 19 Jul '09

19 Jul '09

Hi, Due to the advent of Dovecot v2.0, I restructured the automated Debian package builder to build packages for v2.0 as well. Those of you using the automated repositories should change their /etc/apt/sources.list files as follows: Dovecot v1.1 for Debian Testing (binary and source): deb http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/ testing-auto/dovecot-1.1 main deb-src http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/ testing-auto/dovecot-1.1 main Dovecot v1.2 for Debian Testing (binary and source): deb http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/ testing-auto/dovecot-1.2 main deb-src http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/ testing-auto/dovecot-1.2 main Dovecot v2.0 for Debian Testing (binary and source): deb http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/ testing-auto/dovecot-2.0 main deb-src http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/ testing-auto/dovecot-2.0 main Dovecot v2.0 ManageSieve and Sieve need quite a few changes yet to become fully functional. ManageSieve is even still pretty much broken for the new Dovecot version. This means that Dovecot v2.0 (at least with respect to the Sieve support) is not quite ready for testing. That is also why the the v2.0 repository is not mentioned in the wiki. Regards, -- Stephan Bosch stephan(a)rename-it.nl

Hi, I've changed the name of the Sieve Mercurial repository form dovecot-libsieve to dovecot-1.2-sieve, to signify the Dovecot version it applies to. The URL thus looks as follows: http://hg.rename-it.nl/dovecot-1.2-sieve Note that there are already dovecot-2.0-sieve and dovecot-2.0-managesieve repositories, but these are still somewhat broken in multiple ways and I wouldn't call these ready for testing yet.

[Dovecot] dsync - one or two ways?
by Timo Sirainen 18 Jul '09

18 Jul '09

dsync in Dovecot v2.0 tree is a new utility for syncing a mailbox in two locations. Some things it can be used for: - Initially transfer a mailbox to another server via SSH - A faster sync done to an existing mailbox, sending only changes - A superfast sync based on modification sequences. - Source and destination mailboxes can use different formats (convert-tool will be history) dsync can handle all kinds of conflicts in mailboxes, handle mailbox deletions, renames, etc. So it's safe to sync even if both source and destination mailboxes have had all kinds of changes. Now, the question is: Does anyone want dsync to only sync changes from source to destination, instead of doing a full two-way sync? I think in typical cases where you'd think you would want only one-way sync are also the cases where there's no changes coming the other way in any case.

[Dovecot] SMTP Auth Issue for non /etc/passwd accounts
by Mark R. Baith 17 Jul '09

17 Jul '09

Folks - With Dovecot 1.0.7, we're seemingly unable to authenticate users for out-going SMTP access who are not residing directly within the main system passwd/shadow files. (I.e. the users seeded within our non-system "dovecot" userdbs & passwd files have no "smtp-auth" joy! (Ye olde "Relaying denied. Proper authentication required") I've mucked around with this from several different angles and clearly saslauthd is the sticking point in terms of "locking-in" on the /etc system files ONLY for smtp-auth. Our defined dovecot user/passwd files are entirely ignored. Can anyone provide a direction regarding the appropriate smtp-auth in-road? Thanks, -M Regards, M

[Dovecot] Question regarding layout.
by Johan Hendriks 17 Jul '09

17 Jul '09

Hello all. I have a question regarding my mail flow. We have some users who are in a mail group (alias), and these alias receives a lot of attached documents. So i have the document in all the mailboxes of the alias. If the attached document is 2MB and that is not rare, i have 10 times 2 MB on my mail server. Is there a way to tackle this. Maybe by making the alias a mailbox itself and give other users acces or are there other options. Also i have very lame and lazy users. They refuse to clean thrash cans (i asked about that earlier,and got that tackled through the expire plugin.),also the do not remove old mail not even reading it. So is there also a option to remove mail that is not been opened, and is older than xx days or weeks.

[Dovecot] Can Dovecot Proxy GMail?
by Paul Carter-Brown 16 Jul '09

16 Jul '09

Hi, We are using gmail (google apps) across our company with most users using outlook (windoze) or evolution (linux) and imap/pop based on user preference. We are having issues in that our internet links are fairly slow and when users download mails they get frustrated with the time it takes and often get timeouts and issues where outlook fails to fetch a mail yet gmail thinks it was retrieved - users then complain of "missing" emails. Is there a way that we could use dovecot (or similar?) to act as an imap "proxy" and users connect to dovecot while dovecot connects to gmail? Thanks Paul

[Dovecot] Expire plugin - where to start?
by Frank Leonhardt 15 Jul '09

15 Jul '09

I'm running Dovecot 1.1.3 on FreeBSD 7.0 with procmail 3.22 sorting the output of Spamassassin. Just for me and a few friends. I didn't like the ageing 'standard' IMAP implementation so I thought I'd give Dovecot a try and it's really impressive. However, I'm a complete newbie to its inner workings. Spamassassin is able to find plenty to chew on so the "Probable spam" mbox (note) fills up fast. I obviously want to zap the old stuff in there automatically. It seems to me that the expire plugin is the thing I need BUT reading the documentation: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Expire Leaves me to scared to try anything. It's all working and I don't want to break it or delete anyone's mail. The problem that the wiki isn't accurate to the version I'm running. For example /usr/libexec/dovecot/expire-tool.sh doesn't exist. Okay, this isn't Linux, and there's something likely where I'd expect it on BSD (/usr/local/...) - but it's a binary, not a shell script. It may be a direct replacement AFAIK, but it may not. I've been reading the old mailing list about problems with 1.2 and this reinforces the feeling that the wiki is out-of-sync. Am I being paranoid? Possibly, but I don't want to be posting a "Help! I've wrecked my config and deleted all my friend's mail" type message. (Okay, I'd take a backup first). So could some kind person point me at the latest documentation? Thanks, Frank.

[Dovecot] multiple authentication mechanisms/passwords for same account
by Tapani Tarvainen 15 Jul '09

15 Jul '09

This may be trivial but reading the documentation I can't find a clear answer: If multiple authentication mechanisms (or multiple databases for one) are defined, does it allow one user account to have several (at least two) alternative passwords (so that any of them would work)? Or does it first map an account to a fixed authentication mechanism/password and if it fails, others won't be tried? -- Tapani Tarvainen

[Dovecot] v3.0 architecture
by Timo Sirainen 15 Jul '09

15 Jul '09

I just had a thought. It's probably going to be too big of a change for v2.0, so something to think about for v3.0: Supporting multiple UIDs is difficult. Currently expire-tool and v2.0's LMTP server are implemented in a way that it's always running as root and only temporarily dropping privileges. So any security hole in there gives the attacker root privileges. Not very nice. With a single UID it's possible (or will be) to just use that one UID for the process without running as root. User sharing mailboxes to another user with different UID is even more difficult. Currently the only practical way to implement this is to assign read-write permissions to some group and have all mail files owned by that group. Not very nice. Sharing mailboxes between users located in different servers is impossible if the disk isn't somehow shared. All of these can be solved the same way: 1. imap, pop3, lmtp, etc. processes will be running without any privileges, very much like imap/pop3-login nowadays. Nobody-chrooted to empty directory. 2. Create storage processes that are started as needed. They can be configured in different security/performance settings: One storage process per user, one storage process per UID, setuid-root style shared storage process for multiple UIDs. 3. Mail processes talk to storage processes via some protocol. They can talk via UNIX socket or TCP/IP. If an existing connection can't handle the target UID, a new connection is made that either reuses an existing storage proces or creates a new one. 4. IMAP can finally implement truly simultaneously running queries (where it makes sense) by creating more storage processes if existing ones are busy handling longer-running commands. This also allows using the same storage process for multiple simultaneous IMAP connections and mail deliveries (and etc). The storage processes can also hang around and keep mailboxes open after all connections have closed it (dynamically figured out when it makes sense) to handle webmail clients that create lots of short-living connections or POP3 clients who poll for new mail every minute. The big problem is what the protocol should be. Use some existing RPC protocol? It should be something extensible so that a plugin in imap process can talk to a plugin in storage process, without the base processes knowing anything about the details (e.g. imap-quota plugin asking quota usage from storage's quota plugin). In any case the client side API should be asynchronous. That can make it annoyingly difficult to use though. Wonder if I could switch to erlang or something for the imap/pop3 processes :)

[Dovecot] Sieve problem: No vacation message when mail is addressed to an alias of the mailbox.
by M. Bobkiewicz 15 Jul '09

15 Jul '09

Hi, I?m facing here a wierd problem: We have a vacation messaging system using sieve. When activated the system forwards incomming messages to a given address and sents an out of office reply to the sender. This works like a charm when the mail is addressed to mailbox@domain. When the incomming mail ist addressed to alias.to.mailbox@domain the mail is delivered to the mailbox, it is forwarded to the given reciepient but there is no auto reply going out to the sender! Our setup: CentOS 5.2 + postfix 2.5.6 + dovecot 1.1.11 with domain and accounts stored in a mysql database. The script: require ["fileinto", "vacation"]; redirect "mailbox2@domain"; keep; vacation :days 1 :subject "Out of Office reply" " The auto reply text. "; Any advice is welcome, Best regards, Mike

[Dovecot] SSL_PARAMETERS_PERM_PATH
by Leo Baltus 14 Jul '09

14 Jul '09

Hi, I am not on this list so please CC me. Using dovecot-1.2.x it seems we can not configure the location of ssl- parameters.dat.tmp, it is hard coded to be in PKG_STATEDIR: ./src/master/master-settings.c: #define SSL_PARAMETERS_PERM_PATH PKG_STATEDIR"/"SSL_PARAMETERS_FILENAME This can lead to problems when you're running multiple instances on one machine. Apart from that, it would be very useful if wasn't hard- coded like that. Maybe it could be in base_dir or have a configuration option of its own? -- Leo Baltus, internetbeheerder /\ NPO ICT Internet Services /NPO/\ Sumatralaan 45, 1217 GP Hilversum, Filmcentrum, west \ /\/ beheer(a)omroep.nl, 035-6773555 \/

Changelog ManageSieve v0.10.7: - Fixed generation of core dumps. - Fixed panic occurring when many errors are produced by the Sieve compiler (bug found by Pascal Volk). - Fixed potential memory leak in the PUTSCRIPT command. - Fixed CRLF line breaks in compile errors. - Improved handling of script truncation bugs: connection is now closed. (ManageSieve patch) - Forgot to add the managesieve_logout_format setting to the config file. Now it works (bug reported by Pascal Volk). -- The releases are available as follows: http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.1/dovecot-1.1-managesieve-0.10.7.tar.gz http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.1/dovecot-1.1-managesieve-0.10.7.tar.gz.s… http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.1/dovecot-1.1.17-managesieve-0.10.7.diff.… http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.1/dovecot-1.1.17-managesieve-0.10.7.diff.… -- Have fun testing the new releases and don't hesitate to notify me when there are problems.

[Dovecot] getting Apple Mail and dovecot/IMAP to co-operate
by Jim Reid 13 Jul '09

13 Jul '09

Hi. I've been fighting a losing battle to get Apple Mail and dovecot to play nice. When dovecot is told to use mbox-style mailboxes, it's not possible to create child mailboxes. Apple Mail whines "The IMAP command “CREATE” failed with server error: Mailbox doesn't allow inferior mailboxes.". I've looked through the documentation, the wiki and searched the mail archives without finding a solution. Can anyone help? I've tried (and failed) to get a hybrid maildir/mbox setup to work like that shown on http://wiki.dovecot.org/Namespaces. When that gets plugged into dovecot.conf, Apple Mail blocks, with the Activity window saying "waiting for login" or something like that, even though a valid imaps connection and login has been established. There's nothing getting logged by dovecote for both of these problems, even when syslog is turned all the way to debug priority. Here's the current configuration info: shaun# dovecot -n # 1.1.16: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf # OS: FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE amd64 ufs base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/ syslog_facility: local4 protocols: imaps listen: *, [::] ssl_cert_file: /usr/local/etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key_file: /usr/local/etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem ssl_cipher_list: ALL:!LOW:!SSLv2 login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_max_processes_count: 8 login_max_connections: 32 max_mail_processes: 32 mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: mbox:/mail/imap/%u:INBOX=/var/mail/%u mail_debug: yes mbox_write_locks: fcntl auth default: mechanisms: cram-md5 verbose: yes debug: yes passdb: driver: pam passdb: driver: passwd-file args: /usr/local/etc/dovecot-md5 userdb: driver: passwd shaun# dovecot --version 1.1.16
