[Dovecot] DSpam mysql-plugin (was DSpam plugin)
by Michael Blinn 25 Sep '06

25 Sep '06

After wrestling with Johannes's original plugin, I had a go at the mysql plugin that Tim wrote, as described here: http://members.plug.org.au/~linuxalien/dokuwiki/projects:dovecot-mysql-dspa… I kept getting "Error: imap dump-capability process killed with signal 11" when attempting to start dovecot with this plugin. I traced the error to line 656 of master-settings.c in the dovecot source, in the 'get_imap_capability' function. In this function, it notes: "Reloading configuration. Don't try to execute the imap process again. Too risky and the wait() call below will break it anyway. Just use the previous capability list we already had generated." I changed the source so that the function always ran " set->imap_generated_capability = p_strdup(settings_pool, generated_capability); return TRUE;" instead of going through the function where it had on the wait described in the comments. Now, voila. Dovecot starts without complaint, the plugin works, the delivery and moving of email works. I'm assuming I've screwed something up by skipping the rest of this get_imap_capability function. My C skills are a few years rusty. What are the ramifications of skipping the remainder of this function? Thanks, Michael

[Dovecot] Moving to dovecot
by Ian C. Quorn 25 Sep '06

25 Sep '06

We're in the process of moving to Dovecot. We're currently running UW-IMAP live with Dovecot 1.0rc7 on alternate ports for testing. We're set to switch to Dovecot tomorrow morning, and I'm sure I'll have lots of stupid questions once that happens. So I guess you can consider this message an introduction as well as a preemptive apology. Our setup: our mailserver is a SunFire 880 running solaris 8. Inboxes are stored in /var/mail, home directories are in /home. Mailboxes are mbox. Both /home and /var/mail are NFS-mounted from a NetApp filer. Indexes are stored in /dovecot (this is a partition on local disk). We have about 500 users accesing their mail on this server. Supported clients are Outlook, Mac Mail, and Thunderbird (both PC and Mac). Many people access their mail via webmail (IMP Horde) instead of or in addition to using a normal client. We also have a few people who use Pine. Authentication is against the local shadow file. Given this setup, do the following config lines seem sane? login_process_per_connection = no login_max_connections = 256 default_mail_env = mbox:~/mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u:INDEX=/dovecot/%u namespace private { separator = / prefix = inbox = yes } # for backwards compatibility: namespace private { separator = / prefix = mail/ hidden = yes } namespace private { separator = / prefix = ~/mail/ hidden = yes } namespace private { separator = / prefix = ~%u/mail/ hidden = yes } mail_read_mmaped = no mmap_disable = no mmap_no_write = no lock_method = fcntl mbox_read_locks = dotlock mbox_write_locks = dotlock imap_client_workarounds = outlook-idle tb-extra-mailbox-sep pop3_uidl_format = %08Xv%08Xu pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh The namespace stuff came from http://wiki.dovecot.org/Namespaces - it was listed as a way to allow backwards-compatability with UW-IMAP. So, anything there look like a bad idea? Any other config parameters I might want to tweak, tune, or otherwise take a look at? So far dovecot's been pretty much trouble-free in our testing. But I have noticed some error messages in the logs. Anyone know what these mean? Are they anything I should panic over? dovecot: Sep 25 09:34:19 Error: IMAP(cliftoja): UIDVALIDITY changed (1034876030 -> 1159201281) in mbox file /home/wcts/cliftoja/mail/Common installation codes dovecot: Sep 25 09:50:24 Error: IMAP(cliftoja): UIDVALIDITY changed (1156881790 -> 1159202005) in mbox file /home/wcts/cliftoja/mail/Junk dovecot: Sep 25 10:04:01 Error: imap-login: Master sent reply with unknown tag 180 dovecot: Sep 25 10:04:01 Error: child 1078 (login) returned error 89 dovecot: Sep 25 10:18:58 Error: login: tried to change state 0 -> 44 (if you can't login at all, see src/lib/fdpass.c) Thanks in advance, and here's to (hopefully) a trouble-free Dovecot migration (hey, it can't be worse than UW-IMAP).

[Dovecot] support for UW-style mbox
by T. Horsnell 25 Sep '06

25 Sep '06

Hi, The dovecot docs say that support for the automatic appending of /var/spool/mail to a ~user/mbox (as is done by UW-IMAP) may be implemented in the near future. Is this still the case? And if so, is it far off? Cheers, Terry.

[Dovecot] Dovecot 1.0.rc7 ioloop-poll.c assertion failed after SIGHUP
by Chris Wakelin 25 Sep '06

25 Sep '06

Anybody else seen this one? We're running Dovecot 1.0.rc7 on a different port on our live server (we're generally live with 1.0.beta5) and after a HUP to reload the user database (in a passwd-file) this morning we got:- > dovecot: Sep 22 07:45:05 Info: IMAP 14482 someuser xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx : Disconnected in IDLE > dovecot: Sep 22 07:45:05 Warning: imap-login: SSL_read() syscall failed: No route to host [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] > dovecot: Sep 22 07:45:05 Warning: SIGHUP received - reloading configuration > dovecot: Sep 22 07:45:05 Error: Login process died too early - shutting down > dovecot: Sep 22 07:45:05 Panic: file ioloop-poll.c: line 105 (io_loop_handle_remove): assertion failed: (index >= 0 && (unsigned int) index < ctx->fds_count) and Dovecot had died. "someuser" was me, and I'd left my Thunderbird client logged in (via IMAPS) by mistake when I hibernated my PC last night. I'd seen exactly the same assert on a test box the day before yesterday, (this time without a machine hibernating):- > dovecot: Sep 19 19:00:45 Info: imap-login: Aborted login: user=<testuser>, method=PLAIN, rip=yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy, lip=yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy, secured > dovecot: Sep 19 19:07:42 Warning: SIGHUP received - reloading configuration > dovecot: Sep 19 19:07:42 Error: Login process died too early - shutting down > dovecot: Sep 19 19:07:42 Panic: file ioloop-poll.c: line 105 (io_loop_handle_remove): assertion failed: (index >= 0 && (unsigned int) index < ctx->fds_count) Where yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy is actually the test box (I was logging in from the server itself using "openssl s_client"). The thing is, I was hoping to upgrade everyone (~20,000 users) to 1.0.rc7 next Tuesday, but now I'm not so sure!

[Dovecot] Need to detect event: a user move a message to a “spam folder” (for antispam filter)
by Naefen Raphaël 25 Sep '06

25 Sep '06

I’m writing an immune system based antispam filter. I need to detect when a user move a message to her spam folder (to inform the filter). I I found “cmd_copy” in imap library so I detect the copy event. But at this level I wasn’t able to find info about which mail and which user copy this message. My question is: Were I can find user Info to know how is moving this message in the spam folder. Ideally if I can have information about message (content or id) will be perfect. Thanks

BUG in rc7 (and probably from much earlier). The LDA 'deliver' fails to honour any uid (%i) setting in dovecot.conf. So delivery and reading happen in different places if 'default_mail_env' uses a '%i' variant. Clearly incorrect behaviour. Attached is a draft of a patch which fixes the problem. Please could the patch be reviewed and, in some form, applied? Thanks. -- : David Lee I.T.

[Dovecot] PAM authentication problem: MD5 vs crypt
by bhayden＠umn.edu 23 Sep '06

23 Sep '06

Here's a strange one. I have Dovecot set up on Solaris 9. The auth portion of the config is straight out of the box. Using PAM. We have most users in a dbm file which is just a series of key/value pairs: key is a username, and value is a string equivalent to a shadow entry. nsswitch.conf entry: passwd files dbm. For historical reasons, some users have a classic 13-character Unix crypt password hash, while others have a 34-character MD5 hash. Here's the situation: User location pw Hash Auth succeeds/fails ---------------------------------------------- files crypt succeeds dbm crypt succeeds files MD5 succeeds dbm MD5 FAILS After two days of research, trussing, and etc, I am stumped. Does anyone have a thought? -Brian

22 Sep '06

Greetings. I'm having an issue with dovecot that I'm hoping that someone can help me with. Most of the mail in my INBOX has mysteriously disappeared and I'd like to get it back. It's all in the ~/Maildir/cur directory and dovecot reports that 1048 messages exist when given the SELECT imap command. But Thunderbird and the SEARCH imap command only list 25 messages: [wlott@rootbeer ~]$ ls Maildir/cur | wc -l 1048 [wlott@rootbeer ~]$ MAIL=maildir:~/Maildir /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap * PREAUTH [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 SORT THREAD=REFERENCES MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT IDLE CHILDREN LISTEXT LIST-SUBSCRIBED NAMESPACE] Logged in as wlott x SELECT INBOX * FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft NonJunk $MDNSent $Label1 $Forwarded Junk) * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft NonJunk $MDNSent $Label1 $Forwarded Junk \*)] Flags permitted. * 1048 EXISTS * 0 RECENT * OK [UIDVALIDITY 1117080198] UIDs valid * OK [UIDNEXT 1700] Predicted next UID x OK [READ-WRITE] Select completed. x SEARCH ALL * SEARCH 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 x OK Search completed. [wlott@rootbeer ~]$ I'm running dovecot version 0.99.14-8 under Fedora Core 4. I saw on the dovecot website that 0.99 isn't supported anymore, but I'm hoping that someone can help me recover my lost email none the less. Thanks, -William

[Dovecot] Limiting number of IMAP connections per user
by Simon L Jackson 22 Sep '06

Hi, Is there a way of limiting the number of IMAP connections (i.e. processes) per user? Despite asking users to set their email client settings to limit themselves to 2 connections, some still have this set to 10 or more.

[Dovecot] Incorrect GSSAPI Service Name for POP3
by Tim Steiner 22 Sep '06

22 Sep '06

In pop3-login/client-authenticate.c, when sasl_server_auth_begin() is called, it does so with the service name of "POP3". GSSAPI uses this service name when obtaining its service credentials. The problem is that according to http://www.iana.org/assignments/gssapi-service-names , the service name should instead be simply "pop". This causes GSSAPI authentication to fail when used with a POP3 account. I have created a small patch that corrects this problem for GSSAPI only, as I do not know if other mechanisms are affected by this. --Tim Steiner ----------------------------START PATCH---------------------------- diff -ruN dovecot-1.0.beta8/src/auth/mech-gssapi.c dovecot-1.0.beta8.new/src/auth/mech-gssapi.c --- dovecot-1.0.beta8/src/auth/mech-gssapi.c 2006-09-18 17:35:02.000000000 -0500 +++ dovecot-1.0.beta8.new/src/auth/mech-gssapi.c 2006-09-18 17:37:46.000000000 -0500 @@ -101,7 +101,11 @@ gss_name_t gss_principal; principal_name = t_str_new(128); - str_append(principal_name, t_str_lcase(request->service)); + if(strcmp(request->service, "POP3") == 0) { + str_append(principal_name, "pop"); + } else { + str_append(principal_name, t_str_lcase(request->service)); + } str_append_c(principal_name, '@'); str_append(principal_name, my_hostname); -----------------------------END PATCH-----------------------------

Perdition requires a process per connection though, so it does not scale well. With Dovecot's proxy (and also the nginx proxy, http://sysoev.ru/en/) individual processes can handle multiple connections, and takes advantage of epoll for network events which is ideal for handling large numbers of idle IMAP connections. With Perdition we'd run at 2000 connections per server, with Dovecot we haven't it a peak yet, but expect to peak at around 15,000 - 25,000 connections per proxy server. Obviously the bigger the box, the more connections it can handle. > -Do you mind me asking these questions? Nope. Ask away. If I can't answer it I'll tell you. Bill

I'm currently setting up a large mail system, with different services split out onto different machines. What I want is this: machine1: dovecot smtp auth, no pop/imap machine2: dovecot lda, no pop/imap machine3: pop/imap, nothing else machine3 is obviously not the issue. Is there a way to run machine1 and machine2 with just their respective services, but no pop/imap? -- Marshal Newrock Ideal Solution, LLC - http://www.idealso.com

[Dovecot] DSpam plugin

I'm trying to set up Johannes's DSpam plugin for dovecot. I've compiled rc2 and the plugin, and have things installed OK. I have a X-DSPAM-Signature in my message that is delivered to Inbox. Whenever I try to move this to my spam folder (I changed source to say 'Spam' instead of 'SPAM'), my client (Thunderbird) pops up 'The current command did not succeed. The mail server responded: dspam failed.' I've set '#define DEBUG 1' in the plugin and see this in my 'messages' log.

[Dovecot] Problems restoring from dump
by Paul Lathrop 21 Sep '06

21 Sep '06

Hello all, First, the vital stats: FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE, dovecot 1.0.rc7 from ports. I have run into a vexing little problem that has brought my deployment of a shiny new dovecot server to a screeching halt. Using 'periodic' I've configured regular backups to occur using 'dump'. I have a monthly level 0, a weekly level 4, and a daily level 8. These dumps take advantage of snapshots to ensure they are taking a backup of a consistent filesystem. As part of the beta testing, I decided to delete my maildir and attempt to recover from the dumps. Recovery went well, as dump/restore is a wonderful piece of software. I did a quick check at the file level to be sure my mailbox looked like it had when I took the last level 8 dump, and everything looked good. The problem came when I started up Thunderbird to take a look at my mail. When I selected a message, say one that said "knockout daily run output", I'd be reading a different message entirely, like a recent email from my boss! Most of the messages were like this - hopelessly scrambled! I tried just deleting the account in Thunderbird and connecting again, but that didn't change a thing. What happened!? Dump has faithfully restored the files, including the dovecot indexes... so why are my messages scrambled? Thanks for your help, Paul

Re: [Dovecot] Corrupted Transaction Log caused by deliver
by Alex Pimperton 20 Sep '06

20 Sep '06

Hi All, I've just upgraded to Dovecot 1.0.rc7-1 with Postfix 2.3 on Debian Etch and it's trashing my email. I get lots of the errors below as well as other strange ones in my logs. I don't use NFS. Mail comes in via Postfix, gets passed through MailScanner, gets passed back to Postfix and then Postfix passes it to Dovecot's LDA via: mailbox_command = /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver Deliver then chokes and get's a little upset. Is there anyway to wipe out all the indexes/uidlists etc and just have Dovecot regenerate them all with a clean slate? Has anybody seen this with dovecot LDA before? Any hints about troubleshooting it? Is the best plan just to copy my imap mail out, nuke the folders and then copy the mail back in again?

[Dovecot] Postfix - Dovecot - SASL
by Matt 19 Sep '06

19 Sep '06

I am trying to get Dovecot - Postfix - SASL to work. So, I do not have to use the pop-before-smtp goofy way of authenticating pop3 users when they want to SEND mail. dovecot.conf ------------ pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv auth default { mechanisms = plain login passdb sql { args = /home/digipanel/secure/programs/dovecot/config/dovecot-mysql.conf } userdb sql { args = /home/digipanel/secure/programs/dovecot/config/dovecot-mysql.conf } socket listen { client { path = /home/digipanel/secure/programs/postfix/queue/private/auth mode = 0660 user = postfix group = postfix } } } postfix main.cf --------------- smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_unauth_destination smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth postconf -a (yields dovecot so I know it is compiled into postfix) Any ideas why it is failing? Am I missing something?

[Dovecot] Problem with pop3 login
by Erick Perez 18 Sep '06

18 Sep '06

Hi, Im using dovecot version 0.99.11 and I'm facing a situation with one pop3 client. This is a fax application (faxmaker for windows) written by a third party that tries to login to the dovecot as USER username@domain. When the application tries to login that way, my dovecot rejects the auth. All the other pop3 clients (outlook, eudora,etc) in the system log in correctly because they do just USER username. The only failures related to the login (and I have debug enabled in dovecot) are: Sep 15 15:17:57 mail pop3-login: Aborted login [ipaddress] How ca I tell dovecot to ignore the domain part for that user? I am not using virtual support.

[Dovecot] Nuby experiences
by Victor Rini 18 Sep '06

18 Sep '06

Hello all, I am new to dovecot and have had a good experience so far. I'm using fetchmail - exim - dovecot - my email clients (mac os mail and thunderbird so far). I'm also using Ubuntu Server i.e. debian. I didn't like the inflexibility of mbox so I did a tweak to exim to deliver mail to a Maildir folder in my home directory on the server. I restarted Dovecot and it found it! Very nice but mysterious. I don't remember if I did anything to the dovecot.conf file. My clients balk at the ssl certificate that was created at install time. I see a little bit of documentation on SSL. I'll struggle with it. I'm going to look at more client setups like evolution and a webmail client. Can anyone recommend a good ajax-driven webmail client? Dovecot is good software. I'm happy I found it.

[Dovecot] Dovecot using authsasld
by Dag Wieers 16 Sep '06

16 Sep '06

Hi, Trying to simplify the postfix/dovecot/saslauthd setup with less than 10 users, I was looking for some way to NOT duplicate the username/password setup. Currently I need to use a seperate file for dovecot as I do for saslauthd. (One is a simple shadow-alike file, the other the sasldb) I know that postfix 2.3 can use dovecot directly for sasl authentication, and that would be a neat solution, but we're stuck with postfix 2.2. I was wondering if anyone ever succeeded in making dovecot use saslauthd for authentication so that saslauthd becomes the authoritative source for password authentication for virtual users. (both for smtp auth as pop3/imap) My other idea to simplify was using something like pam_unix, but modified to use a seperate file (not /etc/shadow) and use pam in both dovecot and saslauthd. But I can't find something like that, pam_unix is fixed, and pam_userdb is something I'd like to avoid. Any ideas ? Thanks in advance, -- dag wieers, dag(a)wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [all I want is a warm bed and a kind word and unlimited power]

[Dovecot] put procmail between postfix and dovecot
by M. Fioretti 16 Sep '06

16 Sep '06

Hello, a couple of months ago, also thanks to help from this list, I set up postfix and dovecot for virtual domains on a Centos 4 remote server. I have postfix set up to deliver all email for marco(a)domain1.net to /var/mail/vhosts/marco_domain1.net/ Everything is fine, as far as postfix is concerned: all email to marco(a)domain1.net goes in that mailbox, dovecot sees it, etc... Now I need to add sorting all incoming email in subfolders: mail from SOME_LIST to marco_domain1.net/SOMELIST/ (lots of other rules for custom folders) all else to main inbox I have to do all this sorting with procmail for two reasons: - I want to have as little sw as possible on that server, and update it semi-automatically, if possible only from the official repositories: procmail has these characteristics - I want to reuse as is, with the smallest possible amount of translation, filtering, etc, the very long and complicated procmailrc files I have built over the years on several servers. My question is how do I have to modify (with a perl or similar script) the procmail rules so that they sort messages in maildir folders which: - are fully compatible with dovecot (and Squirrelmail) - (very useful, but not mandatory) can be viewed in categories and subcategories from Squirrelmail: personal/ friends/ family/ mailing_lists/ postfix/ dovecot/ .... work/ - *all* the messages, no matter how they were sorted on the server, can still be downloaded with fetchmail from home Note that I am not asking anybody to write the script for me (if you want to share a ready one, of course, I'll be glad). I just need to know what is the exact syntax/ folder naming conventions I have to follow to make all I wrote above happen.

[Dovecot] Locally accessing IMAP folders from Windows
by Dídac Busquets 15 Sep '06

15 Sep '06

Hi all, I've just configured Dovecot as my IMAP server in my Ubuntu machine. Everything works fine: I can access my IMAP folders remotely, I have also installed Squirrel webmail to access it thru the web... Although I'm most of the time working with Ubuntu, sometimes I boot my machine with Windows XP. However, since the server is not running then (because I'm not running Ubuntu), the only thing I can do is read the files directly. Is there any client able to display the messages directly from the files and folders stored in Maildir?
