[Dovecot] using dovecot in Asterisk imap storage
by Asmaa Ahmed 22 Oct '13

22 Oct '13

Hello, I am trying to use postfix/dovecot as mail server to be the imap storage for my voicemail system.For that I installed postfix and dovecot and trying to follow the instructions in this post http://etel.wiki.oreilly.com/wiki/index.php?title=Storing_Voicemail_on_an_I… I should add a master user for Asterisk to your IMAP server that has access to all user's mailboxes and as per the instructions, I should edit auth section in dovecot.conf which I can't find! Is there something wrong or should I add this section by myselfAlso I don't have dovecot.masterusers, should I create it? $/etc/dovecot$ /usr/sbin/dovecot -n# 2.0.19: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf# OS: Linux 3.2.0-31-virtual x86_64 Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS mail_location = maildir:~/Maildirmanagesieve_notify_capability = mailtomanagesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date ihavepassdb { driver = pam}plugin { sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve}protocols = imap pop3 sieveservice auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix }}ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pemssl_cipher_list = ALL:!LOW:!SSLv2:ALL:!aNULL:!ADH:!eNULL:!EXP:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUMssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pemuserdb { driver = passwd}protocol imap { imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail mail_max_userip_connections = 10}protocol pop3 { mail_max_userip_connections = 10 pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh}protocol lda { deliver_log_format = msgid=%m: %$ mail_plugins = sieve postmaster_address = postmaster quota_full_tempfail = yes rejection_reason = Your message to <%t> was automatically rejected:%n%r} Thanks.

[Dovecot] Dbox group file permissions
by Chris Lasater 21 Oct '13

21 Oct '13

Hi everyone, I feel like I am missing something obvious here. I have dovecot up and running and every piece of mail is given user read/write permission. I see the option mail_gid, but I do not see anyplace to set the group permissions. I see the below wiki talking about new home directories getting their permission from the parent directory, but this does not seem to work. Any assistance would be appreciated. http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Permissions I changed the group permissions on the parent directory, and used rm -rf to delete the user directories, then logged in again so it was recreated. [user@dovecot ~]$ sudo ls -la /mnt/home/imapd/domain.example.net/ total 24 drwxr-x--- 6 imapd imapd 4096 Oct 21 17:35 . drwxr-xr-x 46 imapd nagios 4096 Oct 21 16:55 .. drwx------ 3 imapd imapd 4096 Oct 21 16:59 user1 drwx------ 3 imapd imapd 4096 Oct 21 17:35 user2 Setup Mail is written in dbox format CentOS 5.9 dovecot 2.2.6 NFS with director Mail Configs mail_home = /mnt/home/imapd/%d/%n mail_location = dbox:/mnt/home/imapd/%d/%n mail_uid = imapd mail_gid = imapd Thanks, Chris

[Dovecot] Mailboxes separated from IMAP server
by Reymer Antonio Vargas Solano 21 Oct '13

21 Oct '13

Hello folks, At my university we are trying to implement a distributed email backend, but I have some troubles, The topology: Server A: Postfix+LMTP # MTA Server B: Dovecot+LMTP # Just mailboxes Server C: Dovecot # POP3/IMAP Right now the Server A can leave a received email to the Server B, but I don't know how to communicate Server C to the Server B to retrieve the emails. I think that we should use IMAP protocol, but I am confused about how to connect them, I don't know if we have to use a proxy IMAP server, or another thing. Can anyone give me an idea? Regards, Reymer Antonio Vargas Solano

[Dovecot] Upgrade from 2.1 to 2.2 on Debian
by Lucas Rothamel - Eye Catching Webdesign 20 Oct '13

20 Oct '13

Hello, I am currently running Dovecot 2.1 on current Debian and need to upgrade to 2.2 to use the replication features. I understand that I therefore need to compile Dovecot myself. I am using a MySQL database for users authentication, therefore I need to compile Dovecot with mysql support: *./configure --with-mysql* Unfortunately this terminates with: *configure: error: Can't build with MySQL support: libmysqlclient not found* I installed libmysqlclient from debian repos, but it does not help. Also, how do I then connect the newly installed dovecot to my existing /etc/init.d/dovecot script? Thank you.

[Dovecot] Question to sieve symlink
by Andreas Meyer 20 Oct '13

20 Oct '13

Hello! A Server running openSUSE 12.3 and dovecot version 2.1.13. In the log I find Oct 19 00:23:23 managesieve(anmeyer(a)anup.de): Warning: sieve-storage: Active sieve script symlink /var/spool/vhosts/anup.de/anmeyer/.dovecot.sieve is broken: invalid/unknown path to storage (points to /var/spool/vhosts/anup.de/anmeyer/.sieve/managesieve.sieve). But the link is ok and when I login to roundcube I can manage the filters. What's the problem? Greetings Andreas

[Dovecot] patch for ssl_prefer_server_ciphers in dovecot 2.1
by Adi Kriegisch 20 Oct '13

20 Oct '13

Dear all, I tried to do a backport of 'ssl_prefer_server_ciphers' (http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.2/rev/897484f45a87/) to Dovecot 2.1 (namely the Debian version of Dovecot) and wanted to ask if there is any chance to integrate this feature into Dovecot 2.1 'upstream' as well. As the code structure changed quite a bit, I am not sure if my patch is complete. I tested it with pop3s and imaps in my test environment and it works just as expected and seemed to not have any unwanted effects. (Dovecot code is probably the most beautiful and easy to read C code I've seen, but there might also be some pitfalls I missed.) best regards, Adi Kriegisch PS: I need that feature to enable PFS while allowing Outlook to still connect and the others not to fall back to a different cipher; I was unable to find a PFS cipher that is supported by Outlook and OpenSSL.

[Dovecot] Issues with configure script / Makefile
by Bret Jordan 19 Oct '13

19 Oct '13

Dear Dovecot, I have noticed that when you pass a --prefix in to the configure script and say specify a path of /local/dovecot-2.2.6 that when you install most of the subdirectories (etc, lib, include, libexec,etc) have a dovecot directory in them, like if you were installing to /. This is not typical of most *nix software. So I tried to specify the exact location with the following configure options, but they are not honored when it comes to installation. I have looked through the configure script to see if I can see where the problem is and can not see it. These are the ones that do not work. Some of the others, however to work. # Do not work --sysconfdir=/local/dovecot-2.2.6/etc \ --libdir=/local/dovecot-2.2.6/lib \ --includedir=/local/dovecot-2.2.6/include \ --libexecdir=/local/dovecot-2.2.6/libexec \ # Do work --docdir=/local/dovecot-2.2.6/share/doc \ --with-ssl=openssl --with-ssldir=/local/dovecot.2.2.6/ssl \ --with-statedir=/local/dovecot-2.2.6/lib \ --with-moduledir=/local/dovecot-2.2.6/lib \ --with-rundir=/run/dovecot Bret Bret Jordan CISSP | Sr Security Architect PGP Fingerprint: 62A6 5999 0F7D 0D61 4C66 D59C 2DB5 111D 63BC A303 "Without cryptography vihv vivc ce xhrnrw, however, the only thing that can not be unscrambled is an egg."
