[Dovecot] Dovecot and MySQL auth - initial setup issues
by Andrew Hearn 10 Aug '06

10 Aug '06

Hello, I'm just setting up a new server and wanting to use MySQL for user authentication. Here is what I have: Fedora Core 5: 2.6.17-1.2145_FC5 Dovecot v1.0.rc2 (RPM install from atrpms.net) MySQL v5.0.22 SquirrelMail v 1.4.6-7.fc5 ...Running on a Dual XEON machine I've added the following to dovecot.conf: auth default { passdb sql { args = /etc/dovecot-mysql.conf } userdb sql { args = /etc/dovecot-mysql.conf } The rest of dovecot.conf is standard. /etc/dovecot-mysql.conf has: driver=mysql connect = host=127.0.0.1 port=3306 dbname=maildb user=root client_flags=0 password_query = SELECT password FROM users WHERE id = '%u' user_query = SELECT maildir FROM users WHERE id = '%u' (I've run the SQL queries within mysql and they give the right results) When I start Dovecot the log shows: dovecot: Jul 11 12:47:25 Info: Dovecot v1.0.rc2 starting up dovecot: Jul 11 12:47:27 Info: auth-worker(default): mysql: Connected to 127.0.0.1 (maildb) When I try to log in using SquirrelMail, it takes about 3 seconds, then I get dovecot: Jul 11 12:48:00 Info: imap-login: Aborted login: user=<andrew(a)mail-test.aaisp.net.uk>, method=PLAIN, rip=::ffff:127.0.0.1, lip=::ffff:127.0.0.1, secured ...So, no log of it trying MySQL... And SquirrelMail then says: Unknown user or password incorrect Any ideas of what I'm missing? Thanks!

[Dovecot] no protocols inhibits dovecot --exec-mail
by Johannes Berg 10 Aug '06

10 Aug '06

Hi, Running the current debian unstable version (1.0.beta2) dovecot tells me: $ /usr/sbin/dovecot --exec-mail imap Error: No protocols given in configuration file Could this be changed? I don't need dovecot listening on any ports but would still like to allow this usage... Or should I configure protocols but no listen addresses instead? [if so the debian package needs an update because it filters out the case of no protocols and doesn't start dovecot in that case] johannes

[Dovecot] Duplicate e-mails
by Lisa Wu 10 Aug '06

10 Aug '06

Hi, I've got Postfix/Dovecot config mail server, POP3/mbox, and a few users are complaining about duplicate e-mails. User connects with Outlook 2003 to Dovecot to download mail. If you check the mail logs for that message ID, only one copy is delivered to his mailbox. Also, verified that the client is set-up to NOT leave a copy of the message on the server. He downloads a copy of the e-mail once, and then 2 minutes later when his client reconnects to check for mail, he gets another copy of that e-mail. It's not a consistent problem. I check the dovecot logs, and see his client connecting and disconnecting, and always deleting the same number of e-mails it downloads. Is this a network issue or a config issue? The only other thing to note is that it's usually an e-mail sent to a group list that he's a member of. And I've set-up the owner-list setting in the aliases file. So I don't think that's the problem. If anyone can shed some light on this issue, it'd be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Lisa

[Dovecot] Something other than dotlock for uidlist locking?
by James Berry 10 Aug '06

10 Aug '06

If I read the code correctly, only dotlocks are supported for locking of dovecot-uidlist. And I don't see any settings in the config file for it. As it turns out, dotlocks are very slow on my system, due to their implementation via hardlinks. Would it be possible to support other locking mechanisms for locking of the uidlist file? -jdb

[Dovecot] Newbie Questration
by Yudhvir Singh Sidhu 10 Aug '06

10 Aug '06

Actually, it is a frustration: The client does not work, have tried Opera mail and Outlook, to receive mail. the client can send, but not receive. I know the mail is sitting in the user account Maildir ready to be picked up. Dovecot "compiles" fine. What am I doing wrong? Someone please help me, I know it is something simple. I have racked the net trying to find a solution, but no 2 mail setups are the same. My setup is the simplest I can make it. I have Postfix and Dovecot installed on Linux. All recent versions. Plain text authentication off shadow passwords and login user accounts. Mail is configured as Maildir, IMAP. As you can see below, I have turned logs on and there is nothing in them that shows an error. I am on a real static IP behind a firewall. I have opened the SMTP and IMAP ports. BTW, Postfix can send and receive local and outside. IMAP does not work to/fro outside or locally. I have also logged into Dovecot like so: telnet localhost imap 1 login test testing 2 select INBOX It lets me login and I have tried it with root, which it rejects and with another account which works. It selects the INBOX and I hit the return key multiple times to exit because I don't know what else to type. So, it looks like it is authenticating. Postfix is working fine, it can send and receive mail both locally and the outside world. It puts the messages in the Maildir directories as it is supposed to. Here is my dovecot.conf file: protocols = imap imaps listen = * ssl_listen = * ssl_disable = no ssl_cert_file = /etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key_file = /etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem ssl_parameters_regenerate = 168 log_path = /var/log/dovecot info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot.info verbose_ssl = yes protocol imap { } auth_verbose = yes auth default { # Space separated list of wanted authentication mechanisms: # plain login digest-md5 cram-md5 ntlm rpa apop anonymous gssapi mechanisms = plain login userdb passwd { } passdb shadow { }

The only configuration option that I removed is the login_max_logging_users, which is now deprecated in the new version. I tried to google about this problem but what I found were related to other processes such as imap etc. Thanks in advance for your help. -- Ceasar

[Dovecot] IMAP/POP3 proxying and capability
by Laurent Papier 10 Aug '06

10 Aug '06

Hi, I setup a rather large POP3/IMAP configuration and want to use dovecot proxying feature. I have noted that the capability announce when connecting via the proxies are not the same before you are authenticated and after. Before you are authenticated the proxy announce is own capability and after it announce the final server capability. The problem is that some (most ? all ?) mail client ask for capability before authenticate to the server. So if the proxy capability are not the same as the final server capability the client gets wrong information. I use the QUOTA extension and it doesn't make sens to activate the quota feature on the proxy. Any other suggestion ? Perdition can hardcode the capability string the his configuration file. This is not perfect as the capability can change but it's an acceptable workaround for me. -- Laurent Papier - 03 88 75 80 50 Admin. système - SdV Plurimedia - <http://www.sdv.fr/>

[Dovecot] SSL hangs? Try this

Since apparently 1.0 RC5 didn't fix the SSL hangs for everyone, could you try if replacing src/login-common/ssl-proxy-openssl.c with this helps: http://dovecot.org/tmp/ssl-proxy-openssl.c It's basically the old proxying but with some new changes, plus hopefully also fixing the original rarely occurring hang which my rewrite was intended to fix.

Re: [Dovecot] Dovecot imap with Postfix and using Thunderbird as client
by Shawn Needham 09 Aug '06

09 Aug '06

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew of the mysterious fix to this problem that Curtis describes in his followup: "I vaguely remember something like this, but I don't recall the fix" I recently installed dovecot on a server running RHEL4-AS-U2 and have updated to RHEL latest dovecot package, dovecot-0.99.11-2.EL4.1. Seeing as this is close to the version Curtis is running (dovecot-0.99.14) I was wondering if anyone had some insights. There seems to be a Thunderbird specific problem when trying to retrieve messages from the server. Other imap clients (Mac OSX Mail, squirrelmail, etc) don't experience this problem, however Thunderbird 1.5.0.5 experiences it on Linux, Mac OSX and Windows boxes. In thunderbird, new messages don't reliably appear and the retrieval button doesn't work when new mail is present. Clicking on an email which isn't cached retrieves new ones as well as waiting around an hour to retrieve messages. Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide.

[Dovecot] Can't move messages
by Paul van Erk 09 Aug '06

09 Aug '06

Hi, I use dovecot with IMAP over SSL and with Plain Text authentication. I've been using that for quite a while, but now (with my new PC), it's not working like it should (I tried several 1.0* releases, including 1.0-rc6. The problem is that I can't move messages from one IMAP folder to another, no matter which mail client. When I use KMail, I get: "The connection to the server parena was unexpectedly closed or timed out. It will be re-established automatically if possible." But everything still works. The messages hasn't moved (deleting (so send to Trash folder) also doesn't work), it stays where it is. With Thunderbird, it just goes nuts in the status bar saying "Connecting..." and some other messages: clearly it tries to move, loses the connection and tries again and again... An extra weird thing is when I move a message from my IMAP account to a local folder, it works. And then I can move that message from the local folder to my IMAP account. It only doesn't work when moving messages within the IMAP account. I use: openssh 4.3_p2-r1 openssl 0.9.7j I hope someone can help me, 'coz my wife will soon start to find it just as annoying as I already do. ;) Paul van Erk

[Dovecot] Dynamic server address
by Kresimir Tonkovic 08 Aug '06

08 Aug '06

Hi! My mail server (ubuntu breezey badger) is connected by ADSL and has a dynamic address. I have noticed that, every day after the IP address changes, dovecot is no longer reachable from the net. Iguess this is because dovecot doesn't register this change and continues to listen on a non-existing interface/address. I'm trying to solve this problem by putting a script in /etc/ppp/ip-up/ dovecot --===--- #!/bin/sh # By kresho # dovecot ip-up script (/etc/ppp/ip-up.d/dovecot) # /etc/init.d/dovecot restart ---===--- So far, it seems to work. I doubt I'm the first one to come across this problem, yet I couldn't find anything similar on google. Any comments? -- kresho

[Dovecot] Purging old mails
by Dave Hatton 07 Aug '06

07 Aug '06

Hi all, Firstly if this is a FAQ and I've missed it - let me apologise in advance. I use dovecot as a backup mail store and would now like to purge all mails over a certain age. Is it as simple as using find and rm'ing the results or is there more to it? I'm using maildir if that make a difference? Thanks in advance. Daveh

[Dovecot] RC6 startup failure: "Login prcess died too early"
by S JList 07 Aug '06

07 Aug '06

Greetings. I have been running Dovecot-1.0rc2 on a test server for the last couple of weeks. No problems. However, when I installed RC6 this morning, Dovecot refused to launch completely. Here's the relevant snippet from /var/log/maillog: Aug 7 10:08:36 mercury dovecot: Dovecot v1.0.rc6 starting up Aug 7 10:08:37 mercury dovecot: Login process died too early - shutting down Aug 7 10:08:37 mercury dovecot: child 26127 (login) killed with signal 11 Aug 7 10:08:37 mercury dovecot: child 26128 (login) killed with signal 11 Both RC2 and RC6 compiled cleanly with "--with-pop3d". For reasons beyond my control, I have to set protocols = imap pop3 disable_plaintext_auth = no ssl_disable = yes I do have a valid /etc/pam.d/dovecot file (we're using PAM). I made certain that the localized settings for /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf matched what they were in RC2 for RC6. (I did use the RC6 dovecot-example.conf as source for RC6, then made the local changes. I also tried testing RC6 with my old RC2 config file--same failure). So, RC2 starts just fine. RC6 fails to start with the messages logged above. Can anyone give me any pointers? RHEL (Linux Kernel 2.6.9-34.0.2.ELsmp), built from source, nothing out-of-the-ordinary. Right now, I've reverted back to RC2. TIA. S JList sjlist(a)heidelberg.edu

[Dovecot] Stale imap processes
by Martin Jackson 07 Aug '06

07 Aug '06

Hello, I'm new to the list, but I noticed a buildup of stale imap processes after upgrading to 1.0rc2. My IMAP server actually ran over maxpipekva, and I had to reboot it. I got to spend some time learning about kern.ipc.maxpipekva in the process of troubleshooting. I'm running FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE-p3, and I have a small home office LAN setup. 2 XP client PC's, one which uses primarily Thunderbird 1.5.0.5, one which uses primarily Outlook Express. I had been running with SSL under Thunderbird (only), but disabled that in hopes of fixing the problem. It appears not to have helped. I am using the FreeBSD dovecot port, currently at rc2, with default settings. I use the default authentication scheme, and Maildir storage (my MTA is Postfix). I am running a number of other daemons on this machine but mail is its main function. I am interested in helping to solve this problem; is there anything I can do to help? Thanks, Marty

[Dovecot] 1.0 RC6 released
by Timo Sirainen 07 Aug '06

07 Aug '06

http://dovecot.org/releases/dovecot-1.0.rc6.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/dovecot-1.0.rc6.tar.gz.sig Back to rc1's SSL proxying code with some improvements, which hopefully now makes everyone happy. I'm seeing all kinds of problems with namespace prefixes and LIST code. I guess it would be important to fix it before v1.0 since it makes upgrades from other servers easier.. I also tried looking into the "Unknown namespace" problems that happens if you try to create only one namespace with "INBOX." prefix. I couldn't really figure out what causes those errors. Could someone show me what commands the client tries to use which causes it? * Removed login_max_logging_users setting since it was somewhat weird in how it worked. Added login_max_connections to replace it with login_process_per_connection=no, and with =yes its functionality is now within login_max_processes_count. + Added --with-linux-quota configure option to specify which Linux quota version to use, in case it's not correct in sys/quota.h. Usually used as --with-linux-quota=2 + acl plugins: If .DEFAULT file exists in global ACL root directory, use it as the default ACLs for all mailboxes. - Fixes to login process handling, especially with login_process_per_connection=no. - Back to the original SSL proxy code but with one small fix, which hopefully fixes the occational hangs with it - Several fixes to handling LIST command more correctly.

[Dovecot] Dovecot proxy: Too many open files
by Bill Boebel 06 Aug '06

06 Aug '06

It appears that when running Dovecot as a proxy-only box with "login_process_per_connection = no", it ignores the value of login_max_logging_users. And in Linux, since each socket requires a file descriptor, if you don't increase the maximum number of open files that each process is allowed to have open, imap-login will reach the 1024 open file limit and start logging the following errors: imap-login: socket() failed: Too many open files imap-login: Internal login failure: user=... imap-login: socketpair() failed: Too many open files Here are the settings I am testing with: login_process_per_connection = no login_max_logging_users = 225 login_processes_count = 20 login_max_processes_count = 30 And here the output of "lsof -nu dovecot" when one of the imap-login processes reaches its open file limit. In this case PID 20087 had 362 users connected, but it should have allowed no more than 225 users, which would have kept it from reaching the open file limit: (sent directly to Timo since it was too big to post to the list) Also, I am running CVS dovecot-20060725.

[Dovecot] Using mail_chroot and default_mail_env
by Daniel Kauffman 06 Aug '06

06 Aug '06

Settings for mail_chroot and default_mail_env are not playing well together. It seems that default_mail_env is verified to exist *before* the chroot but is later used *after* the chroot. A configuration like this: * mail_chroot = /var/mail/example.com/username * default_mail_env = maildir:/Maildir Fails with the message: * stat(/Maildir) failed: No such file or directory As a work-around, I created an empty directory named Maildir *outside* of the chroot. The relevant portions of the filesystem now look something like this: * /Maildir * /var/mail/example.com/username/Maildir/... NOTE: The empty /Maildir directory is owned by root. NOTE: Each /var/mail/example.com/username directory and up is owned by root. NOTE: Each /var/mail/example.com/username/Maildir directory and below is owned by the email user. After successful testing with the "static" settings above, I was able to pull the per-user settings for mail_chroot in from PostgreSQL using home to over-ride mail_chroot. If anyone else has been having trouble with mail_chroot + default_mail_env, hopefully this work-around will help. Finally, I should mention my system, just in case I am the only one affected... * Xen + Linux 2.6.16.13 + Debian 3.1 + ( Dovecot 1.0rc2 in chroot ) Regards, Daniel Kauffman

[Dovecot] daemontools
by Rick Romero 05 Aug '06

05 Aug '06

Hi, I just started running RC2 on Thursday. I migrated an old Courier IMAP server, and the only issue I had was that I didn't understand how to enable quotas :) It's impressively fast, and I'm quite happy with it so far. This morning I found that dovecot had crashed, I had exceeded FreeBSD's kern.maxpipekva Has anyone successfully run dovecot under daemontools? I got it to fire up, but it didn't seem to work right.. I'm guessing it's a rights issue, but I haven't delved into it at all. Thanks! Rick

[Dovecot] Dovecot proxy in front of UWash?
by Vincent Fox 05 Aug '06

05 Aug '06

Is it possible to use Dovecot frontends in front of UWash backends? I need a proxy pool ASAP. There is not sufficient time to migrate the backends for 40,000+ users so they have to stay UW for now. I have been looking at Perdition but concerned about performance under load. Dovecot looks really promising with it's non-forking mode. I need simple dumb frontends no local mail. Other questions: 1) Database? Wiki only talks about SQL, can I have it map username to hostname using LDAP or some other mechanism? 2) Kerberos? I am hazy here, but can I have the frontends auth the user via Kerberbos and things "just work"? Or do I need to stick with PLAIN authentication? 3) Port mappings? Can I have the requests coming in on SSL ports remapped to non-SSL ports on the backends? Thus the backends could have their load reduced somewhat. e.g. client->proxy:993->backend:143

[Dovecot] Thunderbird and hanging "Copying message to Sent folder..."
by M.-A. Lemburg 04 Aug '06

04 Aug '06

Here's a work-around for the problem that appears to work and maybe also hints at the root of the problem: If you setup the Thunderbird account to "Place a copy in:..." "Other" and then select the Sent folder of the account (rather than just selecting "Sent Folder on: ..."), the problem appears to go away. I can't tell for sure, but Thunderbird seems to send the copy using a different connection than the one used for sending the message itself if you set things up in this way. The email still gets copied to the same Sent folder, so there's no change there. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, Aug 03 2006) >>> Python/Zope Consulting and Support ... http://www.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC.Zope.Database.Adapter ... http://zope.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC, mxDateTime, mxTextTools ... http://python.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ ::: Try mxODBC.Zope.DA for Windows,Linux,Solaris,FreeBSD for free ! ::::

[Dovecot] Stale imap processes
by Fran Fabrizio 04 Aug '06

04 Aug '06

Anyone have any theories or experiences as to why for a certain user, some of his imap processes hang, and stay around for days and days? He just reported that his Thunderbird was timing out when trying to open folders, I looked on the server, and he had 3 old imap processes from 1 week+ ago. I killed those and his performance immediately improved. He checks mail with Thunderbird > 1.5 from both Win and Linux, Squirrelmail webmail, and pine. Of those, pine is the only one that is somewhat rare around here - any specific problems with pine's imap client code that anyone knows about? We have been using the dovecot-1.0-0.beta2.7 rpm for Fedora Core 5, I'm updating to 1.0-0.beta8.2.fc5 to see if that helps, as well. Just curious if anyone else has seen this lately.

[Dovecot] RC5 Outlook POP3 problem
by DNSExit Com 04 Aug '06

04 Aug '06

We have been using dovecot v1.0 alpha3 for almost 1 year for our mail hosting. It was running great until more accounts added to the hosting. I have been trying to upgrade it to v1.0 rc5 and we have found that the RC5 has problem with Outlook (Express) with POP accounts. We are getting error with POP3 on Outlook Express: Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Account: 'box5.dnsexit.com', Server: 'box5.dnsexit.com', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F Do you know if this is a bug or it is our configuration problem? I tried it on Thunderbird and it works great. Both Outlook and Outlook express fail. Are there anyone getting the same problem?
