We don't use passdb in the directors because incoming mails have already been checked by postfix, and the final mail server need to check our ldap server for other values, so we check there. Actually, I still feel that I can override some ldap connections if I think about it carefully. Thank you. > > At the very least, you probably want to lowercase all your usernames. >

[Dovecot] Override userdb=passwd gid
by Veiko Kukk 17 Jul '12

17 Jul '12

Hi! I have problem with Dovecot 2.1.1 writing maildir files as users primary group. Tried to override gid value, but probably i'm missing something... doveconf -n # 2.1.1: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.18-308.11.1.el5 x86_64 CentOS release 5.8 (Final) auth_verbose = yes info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot/info.log listen = * log_path = /var/log/dovecot/error.log mail_location = maildir:%h/Maildir passdb { args = cache_key=%u dovecot driver = pam } protocols = imap service imap-login { process_min_avail = 40 service_count = 1 } service imap { process_limit = 2048 vsz_limit = 2 G } ssl = required ssl_cert = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem userdb { args = blocking=no gid=mail driver = passwd } Also tried using 'override_fields = gid=mail'. Users are from nss and winbind. Any ideas what i might do wrong? -- Veiko

[Dovecot] imapc: Restrict the number of connections
by René Neumann 17 Jul '12

17 Jul '12

Hi, I have managed to get an imapc connection to another server and bind its contents to only one account (via global ACL). The namespace itself is created as public, though it does not seem to make a difference for this use case (i.e., it does not matter, whether its type is 'public', 'shared', or 'private'). namespace { hidden = no list = children location = imapc: prefix = Gemeinsam. separator = . subscriptions = no type = public } One problem remains: Though there is only one account that is allowed to use this imapc-connection, each imap-process opens a connection to the imapc'd server. Is this caused directly by the imapc_*-definitions in the config? Or is there a way of restricting this to only the account which actually uses it. Used dovecot version: 2.1.8 Thanks, René

[Dovecot] bcypt availability
by Nick Edwards 17 Jul '12

Dear Timo, Do you intend to introduce bcrypt into the built in password schemes? In lew of all these hacks lately many larger companies appear moving this way, we are looking at it too, but dovecot will then be the weakest link in the database security. So, are you planning on this and if so what sort of timeframe / version would you expect it to be in beta ? Nik

[Dovecot] incremental backups of maildir via rsync
by Harald Dunkel 17 Jul '12

17 Jul '12

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi folks, I would like to do incremental backups of the users' maildir directories to a dedicated backup host (using "rsync -SHa" and rsnapshot). Problem is: Dovecot bloats the incremental backup by changing the file names again and again. Is there some way to tell Dovecot to keep meta information separate from the file names? Any helpful comment would be highly appreciated.

[Dovecot] Last login datetime on accounts
by Robert Blayzor 16 Jul '12

16 Jul '12

I have searching for the best way to tell if a Dovecot user is idle by finding the last time they have logged in. Right now the best way I can tell is to do something like "touch" a file in the users homedir via a post login exec. This seems like a LOT of overhead, to accomplish such a simple task, especially if your doing a lot of dozens of logins per second. Is there an easier/better way? Is there a way to possibly tell Dovecot to refresh the mod time on an index file whenever the user successfully auths or to refresh a separate file in the homedir, ie: ~/.lastlogin (not ~/Maildir/.lastlogin as that would obviously cause some issues) Seems like something that would be far less overhead than calling a shell, execing another command, etc. I'm open to other ideas/alternatives if they are out there!
