[Dovecot] how to talk with doveadmin unix socket
by Piotr Rotter 01 Mar '13

01 Mar '13

Hello, I would like to get mailbox quota by doveadm unix socket (/var/run/dovecor/doveadm-server). I get from strace syntax of comunication: write(9, "VERSION\t1\t0\nUSER\t1\tpiotr.rotter(a)active24.pl\tservice=doveadm\n", 60) = 60 read(9, "VERSION\t1\t1\nSPID\t20805\n", 8192) = 23 read(9, "USER\t1\tpiotr.rotter@active24.pl\temail=piotr.rotter@active24.pl\tclear=7T33z456\thome=/vm/08/A/active24.pl/piotr.rotter/\tuid=502\tgid=502\tquota_rule=*:storage=2097152000B\tquota_rule2=*:messages=50000\n", 8169) = 196 and I wrote super simple client in php: <?php $sock = stream_socket_client('unix:///var/run/dovecot/doveadm-server', $errno, $errstr); fwrite($sock, "VERSION\t1\t0\nUSER\t1\tpiotr.rotter(a)active24.pl\tservice=doveadm\n"); echo fread($sock, 4096)."\n"; echo fread($sock, 4096)."\n"; fclose($sock); ?> But i get only "+" sign and line in errorlog as below: 2013-02-28T00:39:56.377437+01:00 kurier9 dovecot: doveadm: Error: doveadm client not compatible with this server (mixed old and new binaries?) I would be very grateful for your help with this problem, what I doing wrong. My current dovecot version is 2.1.13

[Dovecot] No NTLM with PAM after upgrade
by Phil Quesinberry 01 Mar '13

01 Mar '13

After updating From Dovecot 1.07 (included with CentOS 5) to 2.11, NTLM authentication will not work. Attempts to authenticate against Samba version 4.0.4-GIT-20cb7de also fail with 'auth: Info: winbind(?,192.168.2.100): user not authenticated: NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL', despite the fact that the same user can sign on to the Samba domain and access files. What I'm really trying to understand here though is why version 1.07 would do NTLM with PAM just fine, but later versions I've tried will not. After failing to get later versions to work, I decided to see if I could at least get them to do NTLM by authenticating against a Samba domain but that won't work either. 1.07 did NTLM just fine authenticating against a system user account with PAM, as demonstrated by the following excerpt from the log: dovecot: Feb 06 12:46:59 Info: imap-login: Login: user=<pquesinb>, method=NTLM, rip=192.168.2.100, lip=192.168.2.102 dovecot: Feb 06 12:46:59 Info: imap-login: Login: user=<pquesinb>, method=NTLM, rip=192.168.2.100, lip=192.168.2.102 dovecot: Feb 06 12:47:42 Info: IMAP(pquesinb): Disconnected: Logged out dovecot: Feb 06 12:47:42 Info: IMAP(pquesinb): Disconnected: Logged out dovecot: Feb 06 12:48:03 Info: imap-login: Login: user=<pquesinb>, method=NTLM, rip=192.168.2.100, lip=192.168.2.102 dovecot: Feb 06 12:48:03 Info: imap-login: Login: user=<pquesinb>, method=NTLM, rip=192.168.2.100, lip=192.168.2.102 dovecot: Feb 06 12:48:44 Info: IMAP(pquesinb): Disconnected: Logged out dovecot: Feb 06 12:48:44 Info: IMAP(pquesinb): Disconnected: Logged out Authentication settings for 1.07 were as follows (excerpt from -n output, see below for full output): auth default: mechanisms: ntlm plain passdb: driver: passwd-file args: /etc/dovecot.users passdb: driver: pam args: cache_key=%u dovecot userdb: driver: passwd Since 1.07 was such an old version, I first tried updating to 1.2.17 and lost the ability to do NTLM authentication with the same settings: Feb 06 16:09:32 dovecot: Info: Dovecot v1.2.17 starting up (core dumps disabled) Feb 06 16:09:46 auth(default): Info: password(pquesinb,192.168.2.100): Requested NTLM scheme, but we have a NULL password Feb 06 16:09:53 auth(default): Info: password(pquesinb,192.168.2.100): Requested NTLM scheme, but we have a NULL password Feb 06 16:10:05 imap-login: Info: Disconnected (auth failed, 2 attempts): user=<pquesinb>, method=NTLM, rip=192.168.2.100, lip=192.168.2.102 Feb 06 16:11:54 auth(default): Info: password(pquesinb,192.168.2.100): Requested NTLM scheme, but we have a NULL password Feb 06 16:12:04 auth(default): Info: password(pquesinb,192.168.2.100): Requested NTLM scheme, but we have a NULL password Feb 06 16:12:16 imap-login: Info: Disconnected (auth failed, 2 attempts): user=<pquesinb>, method=NTLM, rip=192.168.2.100, lip=192.168.2.102 Next I decided to try 2.x and since I had installed 1.2.17 from source, I thought it would be wise to install from an RPM which had been "blessed" for CentOS 5, so 2.1.1 was installed from the RPMs linked to on the Dovecot download site: http://dl.atrpms.net/all/dovecot-2.1.1-2_132.el5.x86_64.rpm Still no NTLM authentication with 2.x using PAM, so I decided to try authenticating against the Samba 4 domain using Samba's winbind daemon and ntlm_auth helper.

[Dovecot] Maildir Control files and quota
by Tabbed Out 01 Mar '13

01 Mar '13

Hello all, the dovecot wiki recommended that the index and control files for maildir be placed on a partition which does not have a quota. I have a VPS which gives me 20 gigs of space. Since space is tight, is there some way to calculate how much space the partition needs for the control and index files? Would 1 gig be sufficient in the long run?

[Dovecot] postfix, dovecot, samba, winbind
by Denis Witt 01 Mar '13

01 Mar '13

Hello List, we're currently working on the migration of our LDAP/Samba3-Domain to Samba4-Active-Directory. So far everything works fine. Postfix can deliver Mails using ProxyAddresses-Information from the AD and Dovecot delivers the mail. Unfortunately when Postfix tells Dovecot to deliver the mail he submit the username without the AD-Domain part: Feb 28 17:17:59 tpdc postfix/pickup[30396]: 5DDAE2C0C2B: uid=0 from=<root> Feb 28 17:17:59 tpdc postfix/cleanup[30402]: 5DDAE2C0C2B: message-id=<20130228161759.5DDAE2C0C2B(a)mx0.concepts-and-training.de> Feb 28 17:17:59 tpdc postfix/qmgr[30395]: 5DDAE2C0C2B: from=<root(a)concepts-and-training.de>, size=463, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Feb 28 17:17:59 tpdc dovecot: lda(dwitt): msgid=<20130228161759.5DDAE2C0C2B(a)mx0.concepts-and-training.de>: saved mail to INBOX Feb 28 17:17:59 tpdc postfix/local[30404]: 5DDAE2C0C2B: to=<dwitt(a)concepts-and-training.de>, orig_to=<denis.witt(a)cat06.de>, relay=local, delay=0.24, delays=0.1/0.01/0/0.13, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered to command: /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver) Feb 28 17:17:59 tpdc postfix/qmgr[30395]: 5DDAE2C0C2B: removed So Dovecot saves the Mail to "/var/mail/dwitt/", which is fine for me. The Problem kicks in when I try to read my Mail. Dovecot uses "TESTDOM\dwitt" as username and so he didn't find the Mailbox and create a new one in "/var/mail/TESTDOM\dwitt". I tried to fix it with auth_username_translation and auth_username_format but it doesn't work. Any ideas? Thanks!

[Dovecot] help needed with dovecot authentication
by peter lawrie 01 Mar '13

01 Mar '13

Hi I have been asked to configure an dedicated rhel6 server for a customer. I did not realise when I took this on how complicated it was going to be! The purpose of the server is to host a group of websites for small businesses. It came with postfix-2.6.6-2.2 dovecot-2.0.9 and mysql-2.1.67-1 I have installed virtualmin 3.98, usermin1.540-1 and horde 5 About a dozen currently inactive websites have been set up, mail is in /home/<domain>/Maildir My problem is that I can telnet to postfix to send and receive emails and can see these within postfix in webmin I have been having many problems getting dovecot to connect successfully to postfix. I have also installed horde 5 which requires to authenticate to an imap server - that is dovecot. This one server is intended to provide all services, so plain authentication is fine. But I can't use /etc/passwd as the users are in virtualmin I tried configuring ssl, with self-certification so the browser interface is https: At the moment I've restored dovecot.conf and conf.d/10-master.conf, 10-auth.conf and 10-mail.conf to their original settings. So an attempt to login through usermin gives me this Feb 28 19:44:19 scotz1 dovecot: auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth Feb 28 19:44:19 scotz1 dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libauthdb_ldap.so Feb 28 19:44:19 scotz1 dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libdriver_mysql.so Feb 28 19:44:19 scotz1 dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libdriver_sqlite.so Feb 28 19:44:19 scotz1 dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libmech_gssapi.so Feb 28 19:44:19 scotz1 dovecot: auth: Fatal: sql: Configuration file path not given Feb 28 19:44:19 scotz1 dovecot: master: Error: service(auth): command startup failed, throttling Previous to restoring the conf files I was getting this from horde Feb 28 17:55:02 scotz1 dovecot: auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth Feb 28 17:55:02 scotz1 dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libauthdb_ldap.so Feb 28 17:55:02 scotz1 dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libdriver_mysql.so Feb 28 17:55:02 scotz1 dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libdriver_sqlite.so Feb 28 17:55:02 scotz1 dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libmech_gssapi.so Feb 28 17:55:02 scotz1 dovecot: auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=25627) Feb 28 17:55:02 scotz1 dovecot: auth: Debug: client in: AUTH#0111#011PLAIN#011service=imap#011secured#011lip=127.0.0.1#011rip=127.0.0.1#011lport=143#011rport=439 54#011resp=dGVzdHNjb3R6LmNvLnVrAHRlc3RzY290ei5jby51awBwYXNzd29yZA== Feb 28 17:55:02 scotz1 dovecot: auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth Feb 28 17:55:02 scotz1 dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libauthdb_ldap.so Feb 28 17:55:02 scotz1 dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libdriver_mysql.so Feb 28 17:55:02 scotz1 dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libdriver_sqlite.so Feb 28 17:55:02 scotz1 dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libmech_gssapi.so Feb 28 17:55:02 scotz1 dovecot: auth: Debug: passwd(testscotz.co.uk,127.0.0.1): lookup Feb 28 17:55:02 scotz1 dovecot: auth: passwd(testscotz.co.uk,127.0.0.1): unknown user Horde is using mysql for its database, but I don't particularly care what dovecot uses, although it seems sensible to do the same I have created and removed several mysql databases during my attempts to get this to work. I would greatly appreciate some assistance with this as every 'howto' I have found by googling describes different setups and just gets me deeper in the mire! I want an authentication mechanism on this one server that virtualmin users and horde users (same people!) can use for imap mail. I thought I knew what I was doing before I took this one on (I have configured and manage a dozen centos servers), but this one is making my head spin. Yours in hope! Peter Lawrie

[Dovecot] Disallow Deletion from Trash Folder
by Bradley Rintoul 01 Mar '13

01 Mar '13

Hello: I've been tasked with trying to find a way to keep users from ever "permanently" deleting emails. The users are running Thunderbird and are using the "Archive" option for when emails are deleted. However, they are still able to delete emails from the Archive folders... I'm wondering if there's any way that I can configure Dovecot to make sure that emails *never* get removed from the filesystem. I know it's probably kind of a bizarre request, but is there any way that Dovecot can help me out in this regard? Thanks! B. Rintoul

On the way back, fetchmail grabs my messages from my ISP using IMAP (and erasing them on on the ISP's server after retrieval), then delivers them to procmail, which, based on filters, drops them into the correct directories of the Dovecot server running on my desktop. Claws-mail then views all my email on the IMAP server. slitt@mydesk:~$ dovecot -n # 2.1.7: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.5.0-25-generic x86_64 Ubuntu 12.10 ext4 At the bottom of this email I'll put a copy of a typical full header on a post from me. Here's the symptom: Every time I reply to an OCLUG post, Claws-Mail loads the *To* with oclug(a)mailman.oclug.org and the *CC* with oclug(a)penguin.oclug.org. Unless I remember to delete the CC, this makes me double post every time, and must be quite annoying to you all. This happens *only* on OCLUG posts: None of my other mailing lists display this symptom. It's actually weirder than that, because although when I compose the message the preceding is true, by the time I get the two messages back they both say oclug(a)penguin.oclug.org. This happens only with the OCLUG list, no others. I studied the full headers of the two messages when they came back to me, and could discern no difference in the two. What I did find, however, is that all OCLUG messages have: List-Post: <mailto:oclug@mailman.oclug.org> Reply-To: Orange County Linux Users Group <oclug(a)penguin.oclug.org> List-Id: Orange County Linux Users Group <oclug.mailman.oclug.org> Can anyone tell me how to start narrowing down the cause of this behavior? I've CC'ed the Claws-Mail list and the Dovecot list in hopes that maybe they have some ideas. The fact that the rest of you don't post doubles makes me wonder if it's a mail client thing (but of course, only for OCLUG).
