[Dovecot] Internal login failure
by Jaeson Schultz 15 Dec '04

15 Dec '04

Hello, I am fairly new to Dovecot, so please forgive me if I am missing something obvious here. I have checked the archived dovecot mailing list messages and have Googled for everything I can think of, and I still have not found anything to help me solve this problem. I am running Postfix+Postgresql+Dovecot on my Fedora FC2 box. I have compiled both Postfix and Dovecot from source. I believe I have postfix running properly. No error messages show up in my logs when starting Postfix or Dovecot. Messages are being delivered by Postfix just fine: Dec 12 11:45:42 co-nundrum postfix/virtual[15759]: 15E82F8EF0: to=<jaeson(a)domain.name>, relay=virtual, delay=1, status=sent (delivered to maildir) However, when I try to login to Dovecot over IMAP I get an "Internal login failure" error: [jaeson@localhost jaeson]$ telnet co-nundrum imap Trying 207.7.137.6... Connected to co-nundrum. Escape character is '^]'. * OK dovecot ready. 1 LOGIN jaeson secret 1 OK Logged in. * BYE Internal login failure. Error report written to server log. Connection closed by foreign host. When I check the dovecot log file I see the following entries: dovecot-auth: Dec 12 01:15:59 Info: PGSQL: Performing query: SELECT password FROM user_accounts WHERE username='jaeson' imap-login: Dec 12 01:15:59 Info: Internal login failure: jaeson [66.159.231.21] dovecot: Dec 12 01:15:59 Error: child 9845 (auth) killed with signal 11 Here are the entries from my dovecot.conf file. As you can see, I have set both auth_verbose and auth_debug = yes, but I don't seem to be getting any log messages with enough verbosity to indicate just what the problem is. base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/ protocols = imap imaps pop3 pop3s imap_listen = * pop3_listen = * ssl_parameters_regenerate = 24 disable_plaintext_auth = no log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log login_dir = /var/run/dovecot-login login = imap login_executable = /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_user = dovecot login_process_size = 16 login_process_per_connection = yes login_processes_count = 3 login_max_processes_count = 128 login_max_logging_users = 256 max_mail_processes = 1024 verbose_proctitle = yes verbose_ssl = yes first_valid_uid = 5000 last_valid_uid = 65535 first_valid_gid = 5000 last_valid_gid = 65535 default_mail_env = maildir:/mail/%d/%u mail_save_crlf = yes maildir_copy_with_hardlinks = no maildir_check_content_changes = no mbox_locks = fcntl umask = 0077 imap_executable = /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap imap_process_size = 256 auth = default auth_mechanisms = plain auth_userdb = pgsql /etc/dovecot-pgsql.conf auth_passdb = pgsql /etc/dovecot-pgsql.conf auth_executable = /usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-auth auth_user = root auth_count = 1 auth_username_chars = abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ01234567890.-_@ auth_verbose = yes auth_debug = yes Additionally, here are the entries in my dovecot-pgsql.conf file: connect = host=localhost dbname=mail_DB user=mailreader password=secret default_pass_scheme = PLAIN password_query = SELECT password FROM user_accounts WHERE username='%u' user_query = SELECT '/mail/'||mailbox AS home, uid, gid FROM user_accounts WHERE username='%u' Finally, here is the configure command I used when building Dovecot from source: ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-debug --with-pgsql --with-cyrus-sasl2 --with-ssl=openssl --sysconfdir=/etc At this point, I think that the connections to my postgresql tables are all working properly, and the initial authentication with Dovecot appears to be working. Dovecot *does* accept my password and gives me the "OK Logged in." response message, but somewhere before it kicks off the IMAP process it dies with a SIGSEGV. Perhaps I have some file permissions out of whack? Has anyone else encountered this problem, or perhaps has any insight into what might be going wrong or how to find out more information?

That sounds like that's the direction I want to go - I will definitely take a look into that, and possibly tweak it if I can. The way I was thinking about doing it was either respecting one or the other of NO_IMAP or NO_WEBMAIL depending on if you're coming from a local address or a remote one. I might stick with tcpserver using a tcprules.cdb to set environment variables and modify the patch to pass those environment variable(s) onward...we'll see.

Yes, unfortunately, the file was unreadable because there was no file system permissions to read it. That actually made dovecot make indices which imply there's nothing in the mailbox. How a file with no FS perms got into my maildir is rather embarassing and I'll skip unless it's important, but it was there and it did hose my indexes.

Thanks for your swift replies, I really appreciate it. I looked at my mail logs and couldn't find anything awry. Also, if I use Mozilla Thuderbird from any remote platform or Squirrelmail hosted on the mail server itself I have no problems, regardless of the number of messages in a folder. I realize that I should probably ask on Evolution forums, but I think you guys may be better equiped to answer. Thanks again, Adam

Hello, I should have sent my first message in plain text instead of HTML so it would show up better in the list archives. Anyhow, I am using the latest release of Dovecot, v0.99.12.1. Seeing as how I don't need the cyrus-sasl2 to be compiled in, I have just rebuilt dovecot without it. Unfortunately I am still getting the same results... [jaeson@shell01 ~]$ telnet co-nundrum imap Trying 207.7.137.6... Connected to co-nundrum. Escape character is '^]'. * OK dovecot ready. 1 LOGIN jaeson secret 1 OK Logged in. * BYE Internal login failure. Error report written to server log. Connection closed by foreign host. The dovecot logs still indicate an "Internal login failure", but offers no extra explanation as to why. dovecot-auth: Dec 13 11:43:04 Info: PGSQL: Performing query: SELECT password FROM user_accounts WHERE username='jaeson' imap-login: Dec 13 11:43:04 Info: Internal login failure: jaeson [216.39.112.19] dovecot: Dec 13 11:43:04 Error: child 25784 (auth) killed with signal 11 I am wondering that since I see the auth_passdb query, shouldn't I also be seeing a log entry for the auth_userdb query as well, or does this happen once the imap process is started? Any advice for how to track down the source of the problem is appreciated. ~Jaeson [This E-mail scanned for viruses]

But I run vpopmail, and I need to make IMAP available only to users who have IMAP 'enabled' (the guys who pay more money). But I need webmail available for _all_ users (even the cheapskates), and my webmail of course uses IMAP behind the scenes. So my solution is one copy of regular Dovecot on port 143, which respects the NO_IMAP flag from vpopmail, and one copy of modified Dovecot, which I patched to ignore the NO_IMAP flag, on port 144 - and then I configured my webmail software to talk to port 144. That copy of Dovecot will eventually only listen to the local network for connections, though currently it listens for anyone. A solution I already tried was having Dovecot run by being invoked from a copy of tcpserver, which used a .cdb 'rules' database which set certain environment variables based upon the users IP address. I patched my copy of Dovecot to listen for those environment variables and pay attention/ignore NO_IMAP based upon those environment variables, but it looks like environment variables get clobbered when dovecot invokes the authenticator process from within imap-login (And the code seems to say that it blows out the environment, too). And I'm willing to bet that it would only work on first invoke of dovecot from imap-login, too, even if it didn't blow out the environment (because the authentication process stays running). All this stuff is, I'm sure, a thousand times easier in something like courier-imap, but I like Dovecot, so I'd rather run two copies of Dovecot than one of courier-imap. So if anyone has any possible direction to go on a solution that lets me run only one Dovecot, I'd love that. Until then, I'm stuck with my hack-ey two-Dovecot solution. I also _think_ I found out the problem, what was corrupting my indexes, though I'm not sure. I think one of the messages in my Maildir was 'unreadable' by Dovecot (well, that's what the logs say). Which seems to completely blow out the index. I got rid of the file, so lets keep fingers crossed that that solves it...

[Dovecot] Ximian Evolution Issue
by Adam Todorski 13 Dec '04

13 Dec '04

Hi This may be a problem with Dovecot and it may be a problem with Evolution, I'm trying to narrow it down. I'm using Evolution 2.0.2 on Fedora Core 3 x86_64 to connect over SSL to Dovecot 0.99.11 on Debian testing (Sarge) on an i686 using Maildir for the mail store. Specifically, when I open a folder with more than a few dozen messages in it I get the following error (with the carroted fields populated): Error while Opening folder imap://<username>@<mailserver>/<folder>. Incomplete server response: no information provided for message <message number>. Thanks for any leads on this! Adam

[Dovecot] Corrupted index files in 0.99.12.1
by Brady Wetherington 12 Dec '04

12 Dec '04

Hi - I've got two copies of Dovecot installed on my server (don't worry, talking to two different sockets for authentication, with two different sets of filenames using options in configure), and I found at least one instance where the index file for my INBOX (on my own account, in fact) got corrupted. So badly so that when I connected via IMAP and selected my INBOX, it said there were no messages there - but if I logged in via sqWebMail (ugh), it said all my messages were there. Note that it didn't give the 'NO can't use index file' message. I moved the .INBOX directory to another filename, and then re-logged in and found that all was well (it regenerated the index files correctly). Would my old, corrupted index files be of any use to anyone? I still have that directory sitting somewhere. Is it perhaps 'bad' to run two copies of Dovecot? I don't know exactly what I was doing, but I can easily imagine accessing one of my Dovecots using my webmail setup, and one using straight IMAP - is that an unsupported setup? I'd also be happy to discuss why I'm using two copies of Dovecot, but that's a whole other discussion :)

[Dovecot] SQL + AUTH command bug?
by Andrew Hutchings 10 Dec '04

10 Dec '04

Hi, While investigating the problem with Thunderbird auths I found the following happening: Escape character is '^]'. +OK Dovecot ready. CAPA +OK CAPA TOP USER UIDL RESP-CODES PIPELINING SASL PLAIN . AUTH PLAIN + + + -ERR Authentication failed. This is what is happening during a Thunderbird connection, when each '+' happens dovecot does an sql query on the sql server for user '?'. This was asserting mech.c until Timo did the bugfix last night. I currently have dovecot authing via 3 separate sql password tables as it is a migration from 3 old servers. If you try any other auth method (which shouldn't work anyway in my case) it doesn't talk to the SQL servers and just comes back as: -ERR Authentication failed.

[Dovecot] Exim4 authentication patch
by Andrey Panin 10 Dec '04

10 Dec '04

Hello all, attached patch makes possible to use dovecot as an authentication backend for Exim 4. Reasons beyond this patch are simple: exim's authenticators require use of plaintext passwords and NTLM code in exim is quite outdated and hairy. Patch generated against Exim 4.43, but should apply to earlier versions too. Patch adds new 'dovecot' authenticator, which can be used as such: ntlm: driver = dovecot public_name = NTLM server_socket = /var/authentication_socket_path server_set_id = $1 cram: driver = dovecot public_name = CRAM-MD5 ... Authenticator has only one parameter 'server_socket', it's value used as path for dovecot's authentication socket. Authenticator can be used for server authentication only. Hope it will be useful for someone. Best regards. -- Andrey Panin | Linux and UNIX system administrator pazke(a)donpac.ru | PGP key: wwwkeys.pgp.net

[Dovecot] Help needed with debugging auth command
by Andrew Hutchings 09 Dec '04

09 Dec '04

Hi guys, OK, so I am trying to find out why the POP3 AUTH / IMAP AUTHORIZE command is not doing what it is supposed to (not sure if it just for me or what). I am getting as far as: sasl-server.c - line 123 - mech = auth_client_find_mech(auth_client, mech_name); auth_client_find_mech is in auth-client.c which is where I am getting lost. My guess is we are not returning back to sasl-server.c since we don't get an SASL auth or an 'Unsupported' error. If I try 'PLAIN' as the auth method as the parameter then it tries to login with no user or pass and fails. If I try anything else (I have configed to accept plain only) I get 'Authorization failed' and it doesn't even try to lookup the user/pass.

[Dovecot] SHA1
by Marco Herrn 09 Dec '04

09 Dec '04

Hi, I am currently installing doveot as POP and IMAP server, but I a have a few difficulties configuring it correctly. I use postgresql to store the user information. The passwords are stored SHA1 encrypted. Now I have the problem that dovecot isn't accepting the user. In dovecot-pgsql.conf I defined default_pass_scheme = SHA1 I am not quite sure about whether this is corrents, since it is not mentioned in the documentation, but it is mentioned in the wiki (under the name SHA) and it doesn't produce an error (as specifying SHA does). So I assume this is correct. But when I log in with a user I always geht the following log output: dovecot-auth: Dec 08 22:18:20 Info: PGSQL: Performing query: SELECT passwd FROM mailbox WHERE localpart = érwin' AND domainname ='poiu.de' dovecot-auth: Dec 08 22:18:20 Info: pgsql(erwin(a)poiu.de): Password mismatch imap-login: Dec 08 22:18:20 Info: Aborted login [82.82.66.4] dovecot-auth: Dec 08 22:18:20 Info: Login process 9 disconnected dovecot-auth: Dec 08 22:18:20 Info: Login process 9 connected dovecot-auth: Dec 08 22:18:20 Info: Login process 9 sent handshake: PID 22222 Is there a way to get a more excessive debugging? I already set auth_verbose and auth_debug to yes. Or does anyone have an idea what the problem can be here?

[Dovecot] Timeouts with outlook express
by Daniel 09 Dec '04

09 Dec '04

Hi I am using Dovecot 0.99.12.1 (just upgraded) on a site with about 1500 mailboxes. One thing I have noticed is when the client outlook express is receiving a large mail via pop3 it gets a time out. There is traffic. If you click on the "wait" button in the dialogue the mail continues to download. This seem to relate to the "Server Timeouts" setting under mail account Properties/advance. If this setting is set higher the dialogue come only after this time has passed. If the mail take a long time to download if say is very big the user may have to click "Wait" a number of time even if the time out setting is set to the largest amount. It funny because the mail is downloading, So the pop3 server has not stopped responding as outlook express say it has. Strange. What is happening here? and is there a work around for it. Do I have a setting wrong. Regards Daniel ROwe

[Dovecot] SQL + POP3 AUTH command bug - test 57
by Andrew Hutchings 09 Dec '04

09 Dec '04

Hi guys, In addition to my previous message stating that POP3 'AUTH' command wasn't working correctly with SQL auths (making Thunderbird fail), the same is true of the AUTHENTICATE command in IMAP. Again I have created a temp fix by commenting out the lines that check for that command in imap-login/client.c If I get some time tonight I will write a patch to fix this properly. (Dovecot 1.0 test 57) Regards Andrew -- Andrew Hutchings Systems Operator / Developer / Linux Guru Netserve Consultants Ltd. http://www.domaincity.co.uk/

[Dovecot] "correct" permissions for login dir
by Kirill Miazine 08 Dec '04

08 Dec '04

I'm in process of moving away from Cyrus to Dovecot. I have my own authentication daemon working fine. It sets up two sockets: drwxr-x--- 2 root dovecot 512 Dec 7 21:07 /var/state/dovecot/login srw-rw-rw- 1 krot krot 0 Dec 7 21:07 /var/state/dovecot/login/sock drwx------ 2 krot wheel 512 Dec 7 21:07 /var/state/dovecot/master srw-rw-rw- 1 krot wheel 0 Dec 7 21:07 /var/state/dovecot/master/sock When I fire up Dovecot, it warns me of "incorrect" permissons for login dir (/var/state/dovecot/login) and "fixes" the problem. I want /var/state/dovecot/login to be owned by user krot (which the main daemon is running as), not by root. I suggest that login directory is not touched if external authentication is used. Socket are not wiped out, why should permissions be fixed? (see in master/master-settings.c around line 560). I'm afraid that some day I will forget to make this tiny change to Dovecot and end up with a mail system which does not work at all, because the master daemon won't be able to create dovecot/login socket. 1.0-test "works pretty well". Does it mean well enough to replace Cyrus (which indeed works pretty well)? I have maildir-based folders. Most users have no idea what IMAP is (my sister uses IMAP because I set it up, others just say that they don't need IMAP...) and they just download everything using POP3. Sometimes they use SquirrelMail. Default usage pattern. Are the risks high? Currently I have test56 on my test installation (which is almost ready to take over). Timo, Dovecot has been a pleasure to work with so far! -- They make a desert and call it peace. -- Tacitus

[Dovecot] 0.99.12 released
by Timo Sirainen 08 Dec '04

08 Dec '04

One change since -rc1 (the last one below). - Fix memory leaks in LDAP, MySQL and PGSQL userdb/passdb - Fix hanging when parsing mails that have over 4096 bytes in one line (SMTP servers normally don't allow over 1000 bytes so it shouldn't be much of a problem) - FETCH BODYSTRUCTURE sometimes gave a wrong reply (eg. with FETCH (BODYSTRUCTURE RFC822.SIZE) if it wasn't cached) - Never return more than one INBOX in LIST even if there are such files. They don't work anyway and it just confuses clients. - mbox: Don't allow creating INBOX directory by creating/renaming mailboxes under it. They just wouldn't work. - POP3: Don't return PLAIN in SASL list. We don't support initial SASL responses, so it only breaks with most clients that try to use it. - IMAP and POP3 login processes may have sent each line in two IP packets, one with the data and another with CR+LF. Some clients didn't work because of this.

[Dovecot] problems with eudora
by Enrique Pedraza 08 Dec '04

08 Dec '04

Hi everyone, i just installed dovecot in Fedora Core release 1 (Yarrow). When accessing from a eudora 6.1 client, first it gave ssl authentication problems. I fixed disabling them in eudora, but now it authenticates ok and then it says that there is no inbox for that user. Any idea?

[Dovecot] dovecot 1.0-test-56 mail doesn't show up with Mac Entourage clients
by Will Bending 08 Dec '04

08 Dec '04

Hi. I'm seeing some issues where Entourage clients can see new mail, download it (or partially), but won't display the mail in the mailbox list. Mail shows up as having arrived, but never displays. These clients have worked in the past with versions of 0.99, but not in 1.0-test-56. I have dumped the connection traffic and it looks like Entourage aborts the IMAP session before it finishes fetching the mail. I have set up an IMAP server running test 56 and another running dovecot-0.99.11-1.1.fc3.rf and placed one email message in the inbox of a test account. The following is an error message I see in the 1.0 server's logs for some Entourage users experiencing this error, and is followed by a snippet of a tcpdump of the IMAP session on both machines showing where the Entourage client aborts the connection before completing the download of the message. Any help with or comments on this issue are greatly appreciated. Thanks, --will Error in dovecot.log from an Entourage client: dovecot: Dec 07 09:21:44 Error: IMAP(some_user): file mbox-lock.c: line 493 (mbox_lock): assertion failed: (lock_type == F_RDLCK ||

[Dovecot] Lost BODY message
by Tom Allison 08 Dec '04

08 Dec '04

DEBIAN package information: ii dovecot-common 0.99.11-3 ii dovecot-imapd 0.99.11-3 ii bogofilter 0.93.1-1 Apologies for cross-posting, but I think the problem lies somewhere in here. Maybe someone can tell me something useful. Now, I've confirmed the following: I received a mail message that was not spam, of size 2132 originally. clamav scanned it and bumped the size up to 2356 (added headers) ls -l shows it at 1019. The message file (maildir) does not show any BODY. I didn't have my procmail logging on VERBOSE=yes at this time which is a real bummer. Nothing else shows up in the syslog or other logs. As near as I can tell, the following happened: postfix delivered the email to the procmail script in good shape. Now, either procmail or dovecot got goofy on this one. I'm also running bogofilter in the dovecot script, but there's nothing in the procmail log to indicate a problem (logging would have helped!). But the bogofilter database doesn't show any signs of corruption. Somewhere between the interplay of procmail, bogofilter, dovecot things went wrong. I've increased all the logging that I can to watch for the next event. BTW - how can I increase the verbosity of dovecot while staying in daemon mode?

I'm sure you are right that this is where the problem lies. Unfortunately I don't know what the solution is. There is no "identity crisis" normally, as I ssh from one machine to the other with no problem, and eg keep a yum repository on the desktop which I use to update Fedora-3 on the small number of machines on my two little LANs (Ethernet and WiFi). I googled for this error "Server CommonName mismatch" and found dozens fo hits, but none of them seemed to suggest a concrete solution. What slightly puzzles me is that dozens of people must be using dovecot for more or less the purpose I envisage - otherwise what are they using it for - so my little problem must have arisen many times before. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

[Dovecot] Problem with dovecot on home LAN
by Timothy Murphy 07 Dec '04

07 Dec '04

At present I get email directly on my laptop in /var/spool/mail/* through uucp. I'd like to get the email in the same directory on my desktop (alfred), and then run a mail server on the destop and collect the email on my laptop (william) (or on other computers on my two little home LANs, ethernet and WiFi). I was advised that dovecot was a good imap server for this purpose (I tried cyrus-imapd, but decided it was too complicated), so I'm running dovecot on alfred (my desktop), with the following /etc/dovecot.conf (minus comments): ============================================ imap_listen = * pop3_listen = * login_dir = /var/run/dovecot-login login = imap login = pop3 default_mail_env = mbox:~/mail/:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u mbox_locks = fcntl auth = default auth_mechanisms = plain auth_userdb = passwd auth_passdb = pam auth_user = root auth_verbose = yes ============================================ I am able to access my desktop with telnet from my laptop: ============================================ [tim@william ~]$ telnet alfred 143 Trying 192.168.1.1... Connected to alfred. Escape character is '^]'. * OK dovecot ready. x login tim <password> x OK Logged in. ^] telnet> quit Connection closed. ============================================ Unfortunately, neither fetchmail not KMail on my laptop seem able to retrieve mail from my desktop. With fetchmail I get the error message: ============================================ [tim@william ~]$ fetchmail alfred fetchmail: Server CommonName mismatch: localhost.localdomain != alfred fetchmail: Server CommonName mismatch: localhost.localdomain != alfred 10 messages for tim at alfred. reading message tim@alfred.murphy.ie:1 of 10 (765 header octets) fetchmail: fetchmail: getaddrinfo(localhost.smtp) fetchmail: SMTP connect to localhost failed fetchmail: SMTP transaction error while fetching from alfred fetchmail: Query status=10 (SMTP) ============================================ My .fetchmailrc on william reads ============================================ poll alfred proto IMAP user "tim" password "whatever" ============================================ I have no better luck trying to retrieve mail with KMail on the laptop, after adding the following entry to KMail=>Settings=>Configure KMail=>Network=>Receiving ============================================== Name: dovecot Login: tim Password: <password> Host: alfred Port: 143 Prefix to folders: /var/spool/mail/ ============================================== (I also tried with "Prefix to folders:" empty.) When I start KMail on william I get the message "Checking account dovecot for new mail", but no mail comes over, and I see no error in the log files on either machine (although I may have missed something there).

[Dovecot] imaps, certificate and authentification
by jean-Noël Chardron 07 Dec '04

07 Dec '04

hello, first sorry for my poor english I'm doing the migration from UW-imap to Dovecot I have two question about the authentification in the imaps (port 993) process In dovecot .conf I can enable (or disable) the différent port (pop, pops, imap, imaps) and may be restrict the access to the serveur with the ip adresse. Can I configure dovecot in imaps so it permit the access if the certificate is knowing by the server? Actually, this is the process to authenticate in WU-imap on imaps : the client connect to the server through a tunnel SSL (stunnel) and only if stunnel know the certificate, then the client can connect. and more, Is it possible when the client (with a certificate) connect to the serveur with imaps to authenticate the user without prompting the password, so the authentication is throught the certificate ? These are similar functionnality in the apache server with the restriction access to location et authentification with certificate. thanks -- Jean-Noel

[Dovecot] 0.99.12.1 released

The only difference to 0.99.12 is that it now builds without GNU make. I didn't bother to change the version number so it's still 0.99.12 inside the tarball.

[Dovecot] 0.99.12-1.1.fc1.rf broken?
by alex＠amcms.org 06 Dec '04

06 Dec '04

Hi, I dont know if this is a dovecot problem, or the rpm build, me, or my computer ;) Was wondering if anyone else has been having problems using the 0.99.12-1.1.fc1.rf release from http://dag.wieers.com/packages/dovecot/ My specific problem is this. 1. Dovecot starts 2. You can login using telnet 3. You can issue a select inbox but nothing seems to happen By this stage dovecot is spiraling out of control, using up almost all my tiny cpu's processor, when usually it uses basically nothing. What appears to happen if you look at the logs is this. ======= Dovecot Log ======= dovecot: Dec 06 10:39:48 Error: login: Authentication process 5634 doesn't exist ======= Dovecot Info Log ======= imap-login: Dec 06 12:36:09 Info: Disconnected: Inactivity [127.0.0.1] Then, I noticed that if I tried to log in again I would have multiple dovecot-auth processes churning away at my processor.... I went thru the config file, and the new one with my changes, still the same. I also restarted dovecot several times, having to kill all the processes manually as service dovecot stop didnt seem to work. Is anyone else having this problem? And do they know how to fix it? Im running dovecot on fedora core 1, using mysql for authenticating. Thanks Alex

Hi guys, I run a LVS cluster system which holds mail via a NFS server in Maildir format, and indexes on the local hard disks.

[Dovecot] problem with test56
by Cor Bosman 06 Dec '04

06 Dec '04

Hi all, im doing some tests with the test56 release and im seeing some problems with APPEND (may be related to something else, I just see it with APPEND). When I ask someone to move some emails from one mailbox to another, after some messages (seemingly random), the client experiences a 'hang'. When tracing the process what seems to happen is that dovecot doesnt send a final OK after that specific email. It's kinda hard to attach a gdb at that point, so for now, maybe someone has seen this also? Cor

[Dovecot] IMAP - many folders?
by piotr＠mallorn.ii.uj.edu.pl 05 Dec '04

05 Dec '04

Hi, I've been reading the list and it seems the answer to my (soon to be asked question) is no, at least with 0.99, but I'll ask to be sure. I have following setup: new mail goes to ~/Mail/Maildir, except for mailing lists which are moved by procmail to ~/Mail/mailing_lists/name, spam which goes to ~/Mail/spam. Read mail is moved by mutt to ~/Mail/read. Everything is in maildir format. Is it possibile to configure dovecot in such a way to allow user to access all those mail folders thorough imap/pop? User can access ~/Mail/Maildir by setting default_mail_env, but so far nothing else. -- Piotrek irc: #debian.pl Mors Drosophilis melanogastribus!

[Dovecot] 0.99.12-rc1
by Timo Sirainen 05 Dec '04

05 Dec '04

http://dovecot.org/rc/ Just gathered the patches in dovecot.org/patches/ and a few more that I think have been sent to this list before. If there's anything missing, please tell. - Fix memory leaks in LDAP, MySQL and PGSQL userdb/passdb - Fix hanging when parsing mails that have over 4096 bytes in one line (SMTP servers normally don't allow over 1000 bytes so it shouldn't be much of a problem) - FETCH BODYSTRUCTURE sometimes giving a wrong reply (eg. with FETCH (BODYSTRUCTURE RFC822.SIZE) if it wasn't cached) - Never return more than one INBOX in LIST even if there are such files. They don't work anyway and it just confuses clients. - mbox: Don't allow creating INBOX directory by creating/renaming mailboxes under it. They just wouldn't work. - POP3: Don't return PLAIN in SASL list. We don't support initial SASL responses, so it only breaks with most clients that try to use it.

Hello all, just managed to install dovecot as imap server on a Suse Linux box. Now running fine with mbox format. A question regarding maildir or mbox. The MDA (in my case sendmail, Mlocal = procmail) stores mbox format. Do have to modify the local mailer to store maildir format or does dovecot convert automatically from mbox when I tell dovecot to use maildir format? Thanks, for any hint. Carsten

[Dovecot] Maildir/mbox on a per-user basis

Hello, The Wiki indicates that Dovecot can do either mbox or Maildir on a per-user basis: default_mail_env can be overridden in userdb for each user. This works with userdbs supporting the "mail" attribute (eg. passwd-file, SQL, LDAP). How exactly does one do this for passwd-file? Thanks, -Jon -- Jon Nathan jon(a)rupture.net

Hello, Dovecot auth protocol 1.0 defines differend command sets for client and master. How can a daemon distinguish a master connection from a client connection? Clients do send CPID and master does not. I have following auth configuration: auth external { socket connect { master { path = /var/state/dovecot/login/master-auth } } } I try to learn my authentication daemon to learn to speak with Dovecot. I fire up my master.py and try to login via pop3 as foo:bar. Below is what my master.py receives from Dovecot (master and client), VERSION commands are not shown: km@thinkpad:/home/km > ./krot/sbin/master.py CPID : ['11915'] CPID : ['11915'] CPID : ['16652'] CPID : ['11915'] AUTH : ['1', 'PLAIN', 'service=POP3', 'secured', 'lip=127.0.0.1', 'rip=127.0.0.1', 'resp=AGZvbwBiYXI='] REQUEST : ['9', '11915', '1'] CPID : ['16652'] (In the above output command and parameters are parsed.) The protocol specification is mentioning a separate SERVICE command in the client's greeting. I can't let my daemon die if the master issues DIE. Why should a server exit when it receives DIE? Can anybody provide an example dialog of an authentication request that is successful and a reques that fails because of a bad password. Thanks, Kirill -- They make a desert and call it peace. -- Tacitus

[Dovecot] pop3 with lmos results in multiple downloads

One of our users wants to use POP3 with leave-mail-on-server (LMOS). That's great and works well for most people. But for some reason, they MUA (outlook) downloads messages more than once. As the MUA asks for messages, I'm sure it's Outlook's fault, but I was wondering if there is anything that can be done about this on the servern side, or if anyone knows how to fix Outlook. I'm sending this here, because they report that with non-dovecot servers it does work correctly. They do not want IMAP, because they want to use Outlook, which cannot support both Exchange and IMAP simultaneously. This user has multiple accounts, and only for some of them things go wrong. A temporary fix is to remove the mail from the server once, but after a few more messages arrive, the problem starts all over again. Please help. Regards, Juerd
