[Dovecot] quota with imapc
by pvsuja 16 May '13

16 May '13

Dear dovecot team, I have set up my mail system with a mail gateway connecting to mail server using imapc. Now I need my web mail client to show up the quota info. I enabled quota plugins in dovecot.conf. The problem is since all mails reside in the server, the web mail which is in mail gateway always shows the quota as 0. Is there any way the plugin will get quota info from the mail server? I am attaching my conf ## Dovecot configuration file in mail_uid = imapproxy mail_gid = imapproxy mail_home = /home/imapproxy/%u mail_location = imapc:~/imapc protocols = imap ## ## imapc settings ## imapc_host = mailserver.example.com imapc_port = 143 imapc_ssl = starttls imapc_ssl_ca_dir = /etc/postfix/certs ## ## auth settings ## auth_mechanisms = plain login passdb { driver = imap args = host=mailserver.example.com ssl=starttls ssl_ca_dir=/etc/postfix/certs default_fields = userdb_imapc_user=%u userdb_imapc_password=%w ssl=starttls } userdb { driver = prefetch } mail_plugins = $mail_plugins quota plugin { quota = maildir:User quota quota_rule = *:storage=200M } protocol imap { # Space separated list of plugins to load (default is global mail_plugins). mail_plugins = $mail_plugins imap_quota } ## ## SSL settings ## ssl = required disable_plaintext_auth = yes #verbose_ssl = yes ssl_cert = </etc/postfix/certs/public_cert.pem ssl_key = </etc/postfix/certs/private_key.pem ssl_cipher_list = ALL:!LOW:!SSLv2:!EXP:!aNULL Greetings. -- View this message in context: http://dovecot.2317879.n4.nabble.com/quota-with-imapc-tp42280.html Sent from the Dovecot mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Dovecot] question about /var/spool/mail/xxx
by Richard Feng＠eBay 16 May '13

16 May '13

this is Redhat 6.3 I installed sendmail and dovecot. but sendmail can continue send mail as MTA all mails go to /var/spool/mail this is problem for dovecot. dovecot cannot get it goto dovecot inbox. if setup mailbox poing to /var/spool/mail/%u, it is workable but if set up maildir to somewhere else ,I cannot receive mail by dovecot.

[Dovecot] Looking for a good way to manage passwords for CRAM-MD5
by Steinar Bang 15 May '13

15 May '13

I prefer not to use clear text passwords, even over an encrypted connection. With IMAP, the only such mechanism with widespread client support is CRAM-MD5 (please correct my if I'm wrong... I'd love to be corrected here...). On the dovecot 2 wiki, the only way I've found to implement CRAM-MD5 support, is to use a passwd-like file: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/CRAM-MD5 I am running a small IMAP server used by my family. As long as I was the single user on the IMAPd, manually managing the passwd file as doable (if a bit cumbersome). With 2-5 users, I'm looking for a more elegant solution. Does anyone have a similar situation, and a solution they would like to share (config/HOWTO)? Here are the possibilities that comes to mind: 1. Create a web interface to change the password (does anyone know of a ready-made solution for this that they could recommend?) 2. Convince PAM to update the dovecot HMAC-MD5 password file as well as the regular system password file (my dovecot runs on a debian stable "wheezy" system. In theory this should be possible, but it is very hard to find documentation on what PAM modules exist, and how to write a new one, and if it is possible to chain modules in PAM, ie. use one module to update-this-passwd-file and then use a different module to update a different passwd file) 3. Use LDAP, which I think can also support CRAM-MD5 when using password lookups http://wiki2.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/LDAP/PasswordLookups (learning how to set up LDAP is something I have avoided for years, because it looks awfully complex and time consuming) I haven't looked into using databases, SQL, or key-value store, because they seem like a more cumbersome way to do the same thing as passwd files. But I am aware that this assumption could be wrong. It could e.g. be easier to make the web interface idea work with a database manager, than messing around with setuid bits to safely update a passwd file owned and touchable only by the dovecot user. Thanks for any and all responses! - Steinar

[Dovecot] dovecot 2.0 -> 2.1 sieve problem
by Trever L. Adams 15 May '13

15 May '13

I had a completely working setup before. I upgraded, now I get: Error: 7LUaNYqHklG6EAAApwKjnA: sieve: execution of script (null) failed, but implicit keep was successful sieve = /home/vmail/%Ld/%Ln/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = /home/vmail/%Ld/%Ln/sieve (this was ~/sieve) I am not quite sure what is going on. Is anyone else seeing this? Any idea on what has changed? (I am not readily seeing it in changelogs or mailing lists.)

[Dovecot] 2.2.1 and quota-status

Hi, maybe this question already came up and I missed it in my mails, but if not… : I have configured Quota for Dovecot since decades and now with the new policy service, I wanted to include this into Postfix. I have followed Ralf's Blog and there a two Problems: I need to do this: ls -la /var/run/dovecot/config srw------- 1 root root 0 May 14 11:06 /var/run/dovecot/config chown vmail /var/run/dovecot/config ls -la /var/run/dovecot/config srw------- 1 vmail root 0 May 14 11:06 /var/run/dovecot/config Where can I tell Dovecot to set user vmail here? If I do not do this, I get the following error in the logs: May 14 10:54:50 mx0 dovecot: quota-status(c(a)roessner-network-solutions.com): Error: user c(a)roessner-network-solutions.com: Error reading configuration: net_connect_unix(/var/run/dovecot/config) failed: Permission denied Also the following test does not succeed: telnet localhost 12340 Trying ::1...

[Dovecot] Crossrealm Kerberos problems
by Jonathan Hanks 15 May '13

15 May '13

I am running dovecot 2.1.7 on Debian Squeeze 64 bit, config information at the end of the email. I am working on a Kerberos/GSSAPI based setup that requires cross-realm authentication. I have regular GSSAPI working, I can log in using pam_krb5 with password based logins or with the GSSAPI support when using a kerberos ticket in the default realm. However when I attempt to authenticate using cross realm authentication the login fails (logs below). After perusing the source code I beleive that the problem is as such: All taking place in mech-gssapi.c 1. mech_gssapi_userok(...) calls mech_gssapi_krb5_userok 2. mech_gssapi_krb5_userok(...) calls krb5_kuserok(...) to verify that the given Kerberos prinicpal can log in as the requested user. 3. The authentication process is running as the Dovecot user so: 3a. krb5_kuserok(...) looks for ~dovecot/.k5login to authorize cross realm logins 3b. There is no ~dovecot/.k5login, thus no cross realm access is allowed 3c. It should be looking at the users .k5login ~poptest/.k5login 3d. This never happens and the login attempt fails I have the server set up to use system users specifically so that I can do cross-realm authentication. Do I have some basic configuration error? How do I change the authentication process to run as the user requesting to login? Should that be allowed? Another thought is to backport some of the patches proposed for 2.2 that remove krb5_kuserok from the loop. Thank you for any insight. This server is not in production use so I can experiment.

[Dovecot] Fatal: Can't finish POP3 UIDL command
by stevenfah 15 May '13

15 May '13

I have been setting up a new mail server and copied our client's old mail to it. The old server has Courier (under Plesk), we're using Dovecot on the new server. Most accounts seem to work fine (under IMAP or POP3), but for a few we're getting the following in the /var/log/mail.err. Error: Message ordering changed unexpectedly (msg #1: storage seq 140 -> 1) Fatal: Can't finish POP3 UIDL command And the affected accounts can't get at their email. Things work ok if people switch to IMAP but for some of our clients that is a difficulty, so we really need POP3 working. I used the Perl script given here to convert the mailboxes. The only fix we've found is the rename/delete the Dovecot-uidlist file for the affected mailboxes and we've done that, as it was only a few. The issue now is that more mailboxes are coming with the same error, even though they were fine originally. -- View this message in context: http://dovecot.2317879.n4.nabble.com/Fatal-Can-t-finish-POP3-UIDL-command-t… Sent from the Dovecot mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Dovecot] Lucene and Zlib with 2.2.1
by Kyle Wheeler 15 May '13

15 May '13

Hello, I have an "archive" folder in my inbox, where I manually stick old mails into a compressed mbox format. Since upgrading to Dovecot 2.2.1, I've started seeing messages like the following in my log files: imap(...): Error: lucene: Failed to sync mailbox INBOX: Mailbox isn't selectable indexer-worker(...): Error: lucene: Failed to sync mailbox INBOX: Mailbox isn't selectable indexer-worker(...): Error: lucene: Failed to sync mailbox INBOX: Mailbox isn't selectable indexer-worker(...): Error: lucene: Failed to sync mailbox INBOX: Mailbox isn't selectable imap(...): Error: indexer failed to index mailbox INBOX/Archive/2007/Sent.gz These errors *appear* to be mostly benign; I still get results from searching the mailbox. But for whatever reason, the indexer appears to not be working for those folders. As you can probably tell, I'm using the fts_lucene plugin, which used to work just fine (with Dovecot 2.1.x). Is this expected behavior? Are these errors truly ignorable? Why are these compressed mailboxes not selectable? ~Kyle -- Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe. -- Frederick Douglas

[Dovecot] Xlist in userdb, Foldernames with whitespace?
by Hajo Locke 15 May '13

15 May '13

Hello, i use dovecot 2.1.7 and exported all my XLIST FolderSettings to userdb Whole Story is here: http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2013-March/089209.html This is all successful, but there is one problem left. I use lines like this to realize individual XLIST Foldernames in usedb: namespace/inbox/mailbox=Sent namespace/inbox/mailbox/Sent/name=Sent namespace/inbox/mailbox/Sent/auto=subscribe namespace/inbox/mailbox/Sent/special_use=\sent My problem is to allow Foldernames with whitespace in it f.e. Sent Messages I tried to put these names in quotes in this line or mask the blank with backslash but nothing was working. Dovecot ist not accepting these settings: dovecot: imap: Debug: Added userdb setting: namespace/inbox/mailbox="Sent Messages" dovecot: imap: Debug: Unknown userdb setting: plugin/namespace/inbox/mailbox/"Sent Messages"/auto=subscribe dovecot: imap: Debug: Unknown userdb setting: plugin/namespace/inbox/mailbox/"Sent Messages"/name="Sent Messages" dovecot: imap: Debug: Unknown userdb setting: plugin/namespace/inbox/mailbox/"Sent Messages"/special_use=\sent How to code folders with whitespace etc. in my userdb settings? I tried a lot but nothing was correct. Thanks, Hajo
