[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.2. proxy_maybe and twice SSL connections
by Evgeny Basov 22 Feb '13

22 Feb '13

Hello. 1. I have two identically hosts 2. I have set up replication between two hosts 3. I have 'Y' AS proxy_maybe in password_query. 4. password_query returns one of this one hosts 5. I set this parameters in dovecot config: disable_plaintext_auth = yes ssl = yes auth_mechanisms = plain login for enforce use encrypted connections by client programs. When the client connects to host imap2 directly, connection is encrypted, it is good. | client | ---- (1) ----> |imap2 (proxy_maybe='y', host = imap2)| And when the client connects to another host, I have (1) and (2) connections are encrypted | client | ---- (1) ----> |imap1 (proxy_maybe='y', host = imap2)| ---- (2) ----> |imap2| but need only (1). How do I have desired behavior? Is it possible?

[Dovecot] Using different auth_default_realm on multiple sockets with postfix. Is it possible?
by Gábor Lénárt 22 Feb '13

22 Feb '13

Hi, I have more postfix smtpd instances (via master.cf) listening on different ports, and the FW passes the inbound mail submit connections to the right port. The problem: it seems postfix is not able to append "default realm" and I need to set different values for the instances. As far as I see, it's not possible as postfix only passes the base64 encoded string from the user to the dovecot auth service (as I'm using dovecot for sasl authentication). We're talking about PLAIN and LOGIN methods. In the other hand, dovecot is happily append "realm" with auth_default_realm. It works (which does not with postfix) but again: I need more defaults. I wouldn't like to run multiple instances of dovecot (just for having a single setting be different), so I've tried similar solutions: service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth-dom1 { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } auth_default_realm = domain1.com } And the same for /var/spool/postfix/private/auth-dom2 with domain2.com. I thought then I could use postfix's master.cf to give different auth socket (like /var/spool/postfix/private/auth-dom1 and auth-dom2) with smtpd_sasl_path postfix parameter. However it seems dovecot finds auth_default_realm invalid unless it's used in the global scope of the configuration. It's dovecot 2.0.19 (in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS). Is it possible at all, what I would like to do? Maybe with newer dovecot, or can you suggest me some other solution? Any feedback is welcomed and thanked. Thanks, - Gábor

[Dovecot] Errors after enable vnd.dovecot.duplicate

Hi, on dovecot 2.1.14 and pigeonhole-0.3.3 after creating a default.sieve like this: require ["vnd.dovecot.duplicate", "fileinto", "mailbox"]; if duplicate { fileinto "Trash"; } I have two strange errors, one is many of this error in lda.log: Feb 19 14:43:17 lda(info(a)domain.com): Error: file_dotlock_create(/home/vpopmail/domains/domain.com/info/.dovecot.lda-dup… failed: Resource temporarily unavailable Feb 19 14:43:43 lda(info(a)domain.com): Error: file_dotlock_create(/home/vpopmail/domains/domain.com/info/.dovecot.lda-dup… failed: Resource temporarily unavailable Feb 19 14:44:29 lda(info(a)domain.com): Error: rename(/home/vpopmail/domains/domain.com/info/.dovecot.lda-dupes.lock, /home/vpopmail/domains/domain.com/info/.dovecot.lda-dupes) failed: No such file or directory Feb 19 14:44:29 lda(info(a)domain.com): Error: file_dotlock_replace(/home/vpopmail/domains/domain.com/info/.dovecot.lda-du… failed: No such file or directory Note that my mailboxes are store on NFS.

[Dovecot] Full-text search
by Valery V. Sedletski 22 Feb '13

22 Feb '13

Hi all I discovered that the full-text search (fts) plugin can work without SQUAT/LUCENE/SOLR backend. I.e., Dovecot creates separate indexes for header search in files dovecot.index and dovecot.index.cache. Even, the search by headers is fast enough, and can search for phrases. Also, it seems that this buillt-in search is faster than Solr-based search. But if I enable the Solr backend (fts_solr), then the FTS generic plugin built-in search becomes disabled. But, Solr-based Full-text search is faster if search inside message bodies. Also, it appears that the built-in search inside message bodies works too, but very slow (it seems that is because it is dumb file-based search and does not use indexes at all) So, my question is: is it possible to combine the built-in search with Solr or Lucene plugin-based search so that the first one searches by headers, and the second one works by bodies? This could make the advantages of both search methods combined. WBR, valery

[Dovecot] Problem with managesieve proxy
by Lance A. Brown 22 Feb '13

22 Feb '13

Hi folks, I'm setting up a new dovecot email service and have a proxy server running in front of it to facilitate migrating users from my very old UW-IMAP-based mail server to the new one. I have a mysql proxy table that directs inbound IMAP and LMTP connections to the correct server, works great. Managesieve connections are not working through the proxy using either with the sieverules plugin for RoundCube or the Sieve plugin for Thunderbird. If I point them directly at the actual dovecot server everything works fine, so I must have something wrong in my proxy setup. This is what I get in the maillogs when I try to connect to the managesieve proxy: PROXY machine: Feb 21 16:16:38 sortie dovecot: managesieve-login: Error: proxy: Remote x.y.z.110:4190 disconnected: Connection closed (state=0, duration=0s): user=<brown>, method=PLAIN, rip=x.y.z.83, lip=x.y.z.109, TLS, session=<0jUal0LWswCYAxZT> Feb 21 16:16:38 sortie dovecot: managesieve-login: Disconnected (internal failure, 1 succesful auths): user=<brown>, method=PLAIN, rip=x.y.z.83, lip=x.y.z.109, TLS, session=<0jUal0LWswCYAxZT> SERVER machine: Feb 21 16:16:38 postie dovecot: managesieve-login: Disconnected: Too many invalid commands.

[Dovecot] Dovecot list archives not updating

The February archive indexes of this list haven't been updating since Feb 8. The text file at <http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2013-February.txt> appears to be up to date with all posts, but the index pages at <http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2013-February/thread.html>, <http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2013-February/subject.html>, <http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2013-February/author.html> and <http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2013-February/date.html> have no posts after the one at <http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2013-February/071213.html> from Fri Feb 8 16:31:49 EET 2013. Subsequent posts appear to not have individual HTML pages either as URLs <http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2013-February/071214.html> and <http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2013-February/071215.html> return 404 errors. I suspect there is a permissions issue starting soon after Fri Feb 8 16:31:49 EET 2013 and that Mailman's error log has lots of tracebacks from this. If that is the case, the messages were probably all shunted and running Mailman's bin/unshunt after fixing the underlying issue and also making sure that any messages older than Fri Feb 8 16:31:49 EET 2013 in Mailman's 'shunt' queue that should not also be reprocessed are removed. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

[Dovecot] Public folders and dsync replication Dovecot v2.1.7
by Steve Brown 21 Feb '13

21 Feb '13

Dear all I have a few public folders setup and working fine, and one such public folder is 'Public/General'. I'm trying to sort dsync replication out to another server and notice that the system log is full of error messages similar to: dovecot: doveadm: Error: dsync-remote(username: Error: Can't update subscription Pu blic/General: Invalid mailbox name The replication setup is basically as per the v2 wiki. It seems that when a mail client subscribes to a public folder, the folder name is put into '~/Maildir/subscriptions' and this seems to be the cause of the error during replication. The mails are not synchronised to the other server. Public namespace is: namespace { type = public separator = / prefix = Public/ location = maildir:/home/shared/public subscriptions = no list = yes } Hopefully somebody can send the clue bus over?
