[Dovecot] How to manage email with an ISP restricted mailbox size?
by Tom Atkins 26 Jun '13

26 Jun '13

Sorry if this is a bit off topic but I'm hoping list members here might have some ideas. Aim: use ISP provided email with restricted inbox size but keep an IMAP accessible archive of emails (including 'sent' messages) on a remote server. Scenario: - Don't want to run my own SMTP server - Have free ISP email with 1Gb mailbox limit and spam filtering that works well - Have remote server with plenty of disk space - Want to use remote server for IMAP access to archive of email to avoid 1Gb ISP mailbox limit Options I tried: 1. Use ISP email via IMAP and periodically backup / archive messages to remote server with something like mbsync / isync to maildir format. Delete old messages on ISP server safe in knowledge they are backed up on my server. QUESTION: how to access those archives via IMAP (read only is OK)? 2. Use ISP email for sending messages only. Use Getmail / Fetchmail to move messages to remote server and run Dovecot there. I tried using Getmail to do this but couldn't figure out how to keep copies of 'Sent' and 'Draft' messages if the email client was configured to read via IMAP on one server and send via SMTP to another server. Any thoughts on how best to achieve my aims? Thanks, Tom.

[Dovecot] Help installing Dovecot 1.0 on Debian 6.0.7
by Roshan Dawrani 26 Jun '13

26 Jun '13

Hi, Could someone please let me know if I can get the pre-built binaries for Dovecot 1.0 for Debian 6.0? If I do "apt-get install dovecot...", I am getting Dovecot v1.2.5 installed, but it doesn't like the existing Dovecot 1.0 configuration I have, and due to some urgency, I am trying to avoid migrating the configuration to the new structure / requirements. Regards, Roshan

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2 and managesieve
by Darek 25 Jun '13

25 Jun '13

Having some difficulty finding out whether managesieve is still a separate package (not seeing it in the FreeBSD ports tree, only one for 1.x) or whether it was integrated into the main 2.x package. I've only been using 1.2.x up to now, and trying to document a system install. So is it in the main distribution now? -- Darek

[Dovecot] NTLM Authentication with Dovecot and Postfix
by Matthew Larsen 25 Jun '13

25 Jun '13

I'm trying to get NTLM authentication working with Dovecot to authenticate Postfix SMTP clients. I can authenticate postfix smtp clients using the plain text login mechanism via Dovecot and winbind. However, using the NTLM mechanism gives me an error in my maillog that says: "dovecot: auth: winbind(?,10.20.2.0): user not authenticated: NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL". At this point, I'm rather stuck. It appears PAM and winbind work for authenticating with AD because it works with the plain text mechanism, but I'm missing something with the NTLM authentication method. Any suggestions as to what I've got wrong, or other logging I can turn up / examine that might shed some light on this? /// Logging and configuration information below /// -- When I use the LOGIN mechanism I see this in the mail logging and the message is relayed: Jun 21 13:12:58 SBSMTPNV05 postfix/smtpd[1501]: connect from nvit01b.mydomain.com[10.20.2.0] Jun 21 13:12:58 SBSMTPNV05 dovecot: auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=1501) Jun 21 13:12:58 SBSMTPNV05 dovecot: auth: Debug: client in: AUTH#0111#011PLAIN#011service=smtp#011nologin#011lip=10.20.4.12#011rip=10.20.2.0#011resp=AG[...snip...]g== Jun 21 13:12:58 SBSMTPNV05 dovecot: auth: Debug: pam(myusername,10.20.2.0): lookup service=dovecot Jun 21 13:12:58 SBSMTPNV05 dovecot: auth: Debug: pam(myusername,10.20.2.0): #1/1 style=1 msg=Password: Jun 21 13:12:58 SBSMTPNV05 dovecot: auth: Debug: client out: OK#0111#011user=myusername Jun 21 13:12:58 SBSMTPNV05 postfix/smtpd[1501]: 54EAF8059B: client=nvit01b.mydomain.com[10.20.2.0], sasl_method=PLAIN, sasl_username=myusername Jun 21 13:12:58 SBSMTPNV05 postfix/cleanup[1504]: 54EAF8059B: message-id=<51C4B3C8.30008(a)domain1.com> Jun 21 13:12:58 SBSMTPNV05 postfix/qmgr[1499]: 54EAF8059B: from=<someone(a)domain1.com>, size=2700, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Jun 21 13:12:58 SBSMTPNV05 postfix/smtpd[1501]: disconnect from nvit01b.mydomain.com[10.20.2.0] Jun 21 13:12:59 SBSMTPNV05 postfix/smtp[1505]: 54EAF8059B: to=<someone(a)gmail.com>, relay=gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[74.125.25.27]:25, delay=1.2, delays=0.23/0.04/0.16/0.72, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 OK 1371845579 wf5si3786287pab.138 - gsmtp) Jun 21 13:12:59 SBSMTPNV05 postfix/qmgr[1499]: 54EAF8059B: removed -- I also see this in the secure log: Jun 21 13:12:58 SBSMTPNV05 auth: pam_unix(dovecot:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=dovecot ruser=myusername rhost=10.20.2.0 user=myusername Jun 21 13:12:58 SBSMTPNV05 auth: pam_winbind(dovecot:auth): getting password (0x00000010) Jun 21 13:12:58 SBSMTPNV05 auth: pam_winbind(dovecot:auth): pam_get_item returned a password Jun 21 13:12:58 SBSMTPNV05 auth: pam_winbind(dovecot:auth): user 'myusername' granted access Jun 21 13:12:58 SBSMTPNV05 auth: pam_winbind(dovecot:account): user 'myusername' granted access -- However, when I switch the mechanism to NTLM in the Thurnderbird MUA I see this: Jun 21 13:15:46 SBSMTPNV05 postfix/smtpd[1506]: connect from nvit01b.mydomain.com[10.20.2.0] Jun 21 13:15:46 SBSMTPNV05 dovecot: auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth Jun 21 13:15:46 SBSMTPNV05 dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libauthdb_ldap.so Jun 21 13:15:46 SBSMTPNV05 dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libdriver_sqlite.so Jun 21 13:15:46 SBSMTPNV05 dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libmech_gssapi.so Jun 21 13:15:46 SBSMTPNV05 dovecot: auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=1506) Jun 21 13:15:46 SBSMTPNV05 dovecot: auth: Debug: client in: AUTH#0111#011NTLM#011service=smtp#011nologin#011lip=10.20.4.12#011rip=10.20.2.0#011resp=TlRMT[...snip...]A= Jun 21 13:15:46 SBSMTPNV05 dovecot: auth: Debug: client out: CONT#0111#011TlRMT[[...snip...]A Jun 21 13:15:46 SBSMTPNV05 dovecot: auth: Debug: client in: CONT#0111#011TlRMT[...snip...]A= Jun 21 13:15:46 SBSMTPNV05 dovecot: auth: winbind(?,10.20.2.0): user not authenticated: NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL Jun 21 13:15:48 SBSMTPNV05 postfix/smtpd[1506]: warning: nvit01b.mydomain.com[10.20.2.0]: SASL NTLM authentication failed: TlRMT[...snip...]A Jun 21 13:15:48 SBSMTPNV05 dovecot: auth: Debug: client out: FAIL#0111 Jun 21 13:15:49 SBSMTPNV05 postfix/smtpd[1506]: disconnect from nvit01b.mydomain.com[10.20.2.0] -- with nothing in the secure log and I don't see anything show up in the winbind logs either. -- I've reviewed these pages as reference, and I'm not sure what I'm missing: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/ActiveDirectoryNtlm http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/Mechanisms/NTLM http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2008-December/035630.html http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2010-February/046763.html http://blog.al-shami.net/2008/05/freebsd-postfix-dovecot-and-active-directo… http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/PostfixAndDovecotSASL -- Here's some of my relevant configuration as I understand it: -- I've joined the computer to the AD domain.

[Dovecot] Configuring TLS 1.2
by Phillip Odam 25 Jun '13

25 Jun '13

Hi I'm running dovecot 2.1.6 and am trying to configure it to require TLS 1.2. So far I've only got as far as getting TLS 1.0 going. In the config file <dovecot root>/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf, I've tried setting ssl_protocols to values like TLSv1.2:!TLSv1:!SSL3 but without any success. Attempts to google this matter turns up results for dovecot v1.2 as opposed to configuring TLS 1.2 in dovecot And having a look over the mailing list archive hasn't turned anything up thus far. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Phillip

[Dovecot] Sieve file permission problem
by Zoltan Lippai 25 Jun '13

25 Jun '13

Hi folks, I am using dovecot 2.1.7 with the ManageSieve plugin which works great. Recently I set up Afterlogic webmail on my server (the community version) and it has a nice UI to manage the sieve settings. It uses port 2000 to communicate with dovecot via the ManageSieve plugin. Also, dovecot uses Maildirs to store the messages. The problem is that the permissions on the files that store the sieve rules are to strict. I am talking about the "sieve" directory and the .dovecot.sieve file. The sieve folder has a chmod 700 and the .dovecot.sieve is chmod 600. Both are owned by vmail:mail If I delete these two items, then the rules can be saved via the web interface. Then these files are created but for some reason the ManageSieve plugin can't modify them. Here is the output of dovecot -n: http://pastebin.com/4eqyBKCA Can you help me out on this? Thanks a lot! Zoltan

[Dovecot] Quota based on LDAP group
by Pavel Herrmann 24 Jun '13

24 Jun '13

Hi I have a setup where my dovecot (2.0, if that makes a difference) authenticates against an LDAP directory. In my scenario, I have two types of users, lets call them "normal" and "privileged". What I need is for the normal user to have a fixed quota, but for the priviledged to have none. (The users do not exist on the underlying system, so I cant do quota based on FS) The issue is that my LDAP is actually an AD, and there is a fair amount of new accounts over the time (in other words, I cannot use LDAP attribute for storing quota, because the AD tools don't understand it, and I would have to add it manually for each new account). The approach I had in mind is using quota based on user group (I do have groups representing both normal and priviledged users), but I cannot find a way to set it up in dovecot. Am I missing something or does dovecot not support LDAP groups as attribute source? thanks Pavel Herrmann
