[Dovecot] Problem with virtual user mailbox initialization
by Denis Kasak 22 Jun '13

22 Jun '13

Hello, I'm trying to set up a postfix/dovecot server where postfix hands over incoming mail to dovecot using lmtp virtual transport via a Unix socket. Dovecot is then supposed to write the mail to /var/mail/<domain>/<user>/ using a virtual users setup. It seems to work except for failing when the mailbox is supposed to be initially created: Jun 22 03:25:04 lmtp(2400, dkasak(a)foo.org) Error: user dkasak(a)foo.org: Initialization failed: Namespace '': mkdir(/var/mail/foo.org/dkasak) failed: Permission denied (euid=5000(postman) egid=5000(postman) missing +w perm: /var/mail, we're not in group 6(mail), dir owned by 0:6 mode=0775) As can be seen from the error message, I've set mail_uid and mail_gid to account/group postman. /var/mail/ is empty and owned by root:mail so I've also set mail_privileged_group = mail. I was under the impression that mail_privileged_group is used precisely for these situations (when dotlocking or initial creation of the mailbox fail due to insufficient privileges), but it still doesn't work. If I either set mail_gid = mail, or set mail_access_groups = mail, or create foo.org/ owned by postman:postman by hand, it works as expected. Here is the complete configuration: # 2.2.2: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE-p4 i386 ufs base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/ mail_gid = postman mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/%d/%n/:LAYOUT=fs mail_privileged_group = mail mail_uid = postman managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date ihave namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = separator = / type = private } passdb { args = scheme=CRYPT username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/users driver = passwd-file } plugin { sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve } protocols = imap lmtp service auth-worker { user = $default_internal_user } service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } } service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 143 } } service lmtp { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } } ssl = required ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { args = username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/users default_fields = quota_rule=*:storage=2G driver = passwd-file } protocol imap { mail_plugins = " notify mail_log" } Any ideas? -- Denis Kasak

You didn't provide the analogous output from the interactive shell to see the differences (for example, USER might be being used), but from your later strace, I guess CONFIG_FILE has something to do with it. These threads seems relevant http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2011-May/059127.html http://www.mail-archive.com/dovecot@dovecot.org/msg38349.html That thread poster solved his problem by commenting out service imap-postlogin { # user = $default_internal_user ... } but I have no idea if it works, or whether it's a good idea, for your case.

[Dovecot] Getting NTLM authentication for Postfix SMTP clients to work
by Matthew Larsen 22 Jun '13

22 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 through 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? 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 <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<http://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.

[Dovecot] Sieve Plugin Setup
by Denny Jones 22 Jun '13

22 Jun '13

I've got an existing setup that I want to add Sieve filtering to. I'm on QmailToaster: qmailadmin-toaster-1.2.16-1.4.0 I using Dovecot version 2.0.11 I'm looking for a good tutorial for installing Sieve Rules functionality on an existing system. Anybody know of one? Anybody else done this? Do I just install the latest Dovecot-sieve plugin release with wget, etc? What kind of configuration can I expect to have to go through. Do I have to reconfigure Dovecot to work in conjunction with the Sieve plugin? I'm hoping to find someone else has done this that can help me navigate the waters so-to-speak. Thanks in advance, Denny

Have you also checked the environment variables? I think dovecot-lda gets some information from them. Also, it's possible the PATH or some other critical environment variables is different, causing the difference in outcome. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

[Dovecot] Would attempting plaintext auth repeatably cause a DOS and server to crash?
by Hugh Davenport 21 Jun '13

21 Jun '13

Hey All, I'm just wondering whether this is what caused my server to crash. Started last night in NZ land. Jun 20 19:22:11 elm dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (tried to use disallowed plaintext auth): user=<>, rip=attackerip, lip=10.0.0.3, session=<0C8LzpDfZQDINsQC> occasionally get Jun 20 19:22:52 elm dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts in 1 secs): user=<>, rip=attackerip, lip=10.0.0.3, session=<bHdz0JDfpwDINsQC> or in 0 secs last at Jun 20 19:26:24 elm dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (tried to use disallowed plaintext auth): user=<>, rip=attackerip, lip=10.0.0.3, session=<1MUR3ZDfcwDINsQC> and a minute later the server lost contact to the world. When I checked a bit later, the underlying host machine (dovecot runs on a VM (KVM)) had been powered off. Now, here in NZ land, there was also a crazy storm last night, and lots of brown outs. There could potentially of been a surge that killed it, but the UPS was still running fine when I started it again. The "attack" lasted around 4 minutes, in which there was 1161 lines in the log for a single attacker ip, and no other similar logs previously. Would this be enough to kill not only the VM running dovecot, but the underlying host machine? All up to date with patches, running debian stable (wheezy). dovecot-core debian package version 1:2.1.7-7 dovecot version 2.1.7 I notice there is a version 2.2.3 out, but not in debian yet. Could this fix this issue? I don't particularly want to have it happen again :D. Any thoughts? Cheers, Hugh

[Dovecot] Allowing clients to test their Sieve scripts
by Frerich Raabe 21 Jun '13

21 Jun '13

Hi, One thing which came up repeatedly is that clients using the IMAP server I run (using Dovecot 2.1) wonder whether they broke their Sieve scripts, i.e. it often goes like "I don't know whether I just didn't receive any mail, or whether my filters broke. Can you check the logs?". I then usually just run the sieve-test binary (part of the Pigeonhole distribution) and send them the output. However, I was wondering - is there maybe a way for them to try it themselves? Like, maybe a tiny web server which just prints a form asking for a mail file and a sieve script, and then it runs sieve-script and prints the output of that? I wonder how other people do that. -- Frerich Raabe - raabe(a)froglogic.com www.froglogic.com - Multi-Platform GUI Testing
