[Dovecot] sievec - manual compile of global sieve scripts?
by Thomas Harold 02 Aug '11

02 Aug '11

How do you compile global scripts using the sievec command without making the script directory owned (and group writable) by the vmail user? http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Pigeonhole/Sieve/Usage # cd /etc/dovecot/sieve/before/ # (edit some script like spam.sieve that runs for everyone) # /usr/local/bin/sievec spam.sieve spam.svbin sievec(root): Error: sieve: binary save: failed to create temporary file: open(spam.svbin.hostname.26921.) in directory /etc/dovecot/sieve/before failed: Permission denied (euid=5000(vmail) egid=5000(vmail) missing +w perm: /etc/dovecot/sieve/before, euid is not dir owner) # ls -la /etc/dovecot/sieve/before/ drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 1 15:56 . drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Aug 1 13:23 .. -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 477 Aug 1 15:33 spam.sieve Or do I just make the /etc/dovecot/sieve/ tree owned and writable by the vmail:vmail user? (Which worked, but seems like a bad idea.)

[Dovecot] web interface for user creation/vacation
by Chris Cappuccio 02 Aug '11

02 Aug '11

What are the best web interfaces for user/domain management, perhaps one that also allows individual users to edit vacation msgs? Right now I'm using a postfixadmin based mysql control panel. Curious what is the better stuff out there that people are using with dovecot/sieve these days? Are there any decent front-ends to setup/manage per-user sieve filters?

[Dovecot] Redelivery of messages in Maildir through sieve to be re-sorted
by Thomas Harold 01 Aug '11

01 Aug '11

http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/RefilterMail That solution looks great for a single user, but is it possible to do a larger version that runs for everyone on the server? I'm speaking specifically of a virtual setup where all mailboxes are owned by a common UID/GID. It seems like (with brief testing) that I could search for mail inside of a "Refilter" folder, like /var/vmail/domain.ext/username/Maildir/.Refilter/{cur|new}, and shove that through dovecot-lda. I would just need to put the username/domain.ext back together in the format of username(a)domain.ext. /usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -e -d username(a)domain.ext -p (path to message) If dovecot-lda doesn't throw an error, then I could delete the message from the "Refilter" folder and move onto the next message. Or does Dovecot get horribly confused when messages vanish out of the "cur" folder?

Using the pre-built RPM from ATRPMs. Where does the dovecot-config file get generated? Is there a flag in a config file that controls whether it gets created? Installed Packages Name : dovecot Arch : x86_64 Epoch : 1 Version : 2.0.13 Release : 1_129.el5 Size : 5.1 M Repo : installed Summary : Dovecot Secure imap server URL : http://www.dovecot.org/ License : MIT Do I have to install Dovecot from source in order to also use the Pigeonhole plug-in?

[Dovecot] Dovecot and pigeonhole: mail not filtered
by Sebastian Schlingmann 01 Aug '11

01 Aug '11

Hi everyone, I am running dovecot for quite some time now (currently version 2.0.13). Recently I tried to get Sieve and Managesieve to run. For this purpose I installed pigeonhole 0.2.3 and added sieve to the mail_plugins for lmtp and to the protocols. I also copied the sample 90-sieve.conf and 20-managesieve.conf into my /etc/dovecot/conf.d/ directory. In 90-sieve.conf I uncommented the sieve and sieve_dir options and set them to my desired values. After a restart of dovecot I was able to use my webmailer to add sieve scripts via the managesieve protocol. However the sieve scripts do not trigger. Is there any way to test if sieve is even executed when a mail arrives? mail_debug did not give me any relevant information. BTW: I checked my sieve script with the sieve-test command and it would execute the right action (move a mail into a directory). Bye Sebastian

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.0.x + Sendmail 8.14.4 SMTP AUTH not working
by Serhiy Kolesnyk 31 Jul '11

31 Jul '11

Hello! After moving from Centos 5.6 to Centos 6, I figured that Sendmail minor version was updated from 8.13.x to 8.14 and Dovecto from 1.2 to 2.0.x In previous configuration SMTP auth worked fine (no SASAUTHD neccessary) for virtual users table. Dovecot was authenticating virtual users virtual checking dovecot.passwd file. I'm not sure how Sendmail was processing SMTP AUTH for virtual users connecting via email clients since there was no obvious connection to Dovecot authentication. But SMTP AUTH was working and virtual users could send email via SSL. Now after this recent upgrade I looked into Dovecot conf changes and updated it according. POP/IMAP are working and Sendmail does deliver incoming mail to the mbox folders. What stopped working is SMTP AUTH. Here's maillog excerpt of authentication process: Jul 29 23:46:11 one2action sendmail[2865]: AUTH: available mech=CRAM-MD5 DIGEST-MD5 LOGIN GSSAPI PLAIN, allowed mech=LOGIN PLAIN Jul 29 23:46:11 one2action sendmail[2865]: STARTTLS=server, get_verify: 0 get_peer: 0x0 Jul 29 23:46:11 one2action sendmail[2865]: STARTTLS=server, relay=136-31-132-95.pool.ukrtel.net [95.132.31.136], version=TLSv1/SSLv3, verify=NO, cipher=RC4-MD5, bits=128/128 Jul 29 23:46:11 one2action sendmail[2865]: STARTTLS=server, cert-subject=, cert-issuer=, verifymsg=ok Jul 29 23:46:11 one2action sendmail[2865]: AUTH: available mech=CRAM-MD5 DIGEST-MD5 LOGIN GSSAPI PLAIN, allowed mech=LOGIN PLAIN Jul 29 23:46:11 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: --- 220 one2action.com ESMTP Sendmail 8.14.4/8.14.4; Fri, 29 Jul 2011 23:46:11 +0100 Jul 29 23:46:11 one2action sendmail[2865]: STARTTLS=read, info: fds=8/4, err=2 Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: <-- EHLO astronaut Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: --- 250-one2action.com Hello 136-31-132-95.pool.ukrtel.net [95.132.31.136], pleased to meet you Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: --- 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: --- 250-PIPELINING Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: --- 250-8BITMIME Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: --- 250-SIZE Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: --- 250-DSN Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: --- 250-ETRN Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: --- 250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: --- 250-DELIVERBY Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: --- 250 HELP Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: STARTTLS=read, info: fds=8/4, err=2 Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: <-- AUTH LOGIN Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: --- 334 VXNlcm5hbWU6 Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: STARTTLS=read, info: fds=8/4, err=2 Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: --- 334 UGFzc3dvcmQ6 Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: STARTTLS=read, info: fds=8/4, err=2 Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: --- 535 5.7.0 authentication failed Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: AUTH failure (LOGIN): generic failure (-1) SASL(-1): generic failure: checkpass failed, relay=136-31-132-95.pool.ukrtel.net [95.132.31.136] Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: STARTTLS=read, info: fds=8/4, err=2 Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: --- 421 4.4.1 one2action.com Lost input channel from 136-31-132-95.pool.ukrtel.net [95.132.31.136] Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: lost input channel from 136-31-132-95.pool.ukrtel.net [95.132.31.136] to TLSMTA after auth Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: 136-31-132-95.pool.ukrtel.net [95.132.31.136] did not issue MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN during connection to TLSMTA Here's dovecot -n # dovecot -n # 2.0.beta6 (3156315704ef): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.39.1-linode34 i686 CentOS Linux release 6.0 (Final) auth_cache_negative_ttl = 3600 s auth_debug_passwords = yes auth_mechanisms = plain login DIGEST-MD5 cram-md5 auth_worker_max_count = 3 default_client_limit = 10 default_process_limit = 5 disable_plaintext_auth = no listen = * log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u mail_privileged_group = mail mbox_write_locks = fcntl passdb { args = scheme=MD5-CRYPT username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/dovecot.passwd driver = passwd-file } passdb { args = dovecot driver = pam } passdb { args = /etc/passwd driver = passwd-file } protocols = imap pop3 service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-userdb { group = smmsp mode = 0666 user = smmsp } unix_listener dovecot-auth { group = smmsp mode = 0666 user = smmsp } } service imap-login { inet_listener imaps { port = 993 ssl = yes } } service pop3-login { inet_listener pop3s { port = 995 ssl = yes } } ssl_cert = </etc/pki/tls/certs/sendmail.pem ssl_cipher_list = TLSv1+HIGH:!SSLv2:RC4+MEDIUM:!aNULL:!eNULL:!3DES:@STRENGTH ssl_key = </etc/pki/tls/certs/sendmail.pem userdb { args = username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/dovecot.passwd driver = passwd-file } protocol lda { auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master postmaster_address = postmaster(a)example.com } protocol imap { imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail } protocol pop3 { pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv } As I understand Sendmail now can't find Dovecot authentication via userdb and that's why a client isn't authenticated.

[Dovecot] lda_mailbox_autosubscribe - v2 wiki is a bit unclear
by Thomas Harold 29 Jul '11

29 Jul '11

In the old wiki: http://wiki1.dovecot.org/LDA -m <mailbox>: Destination mailbox (default is INBOX). If the mailbox doesn't exist, it's created (unless -n is used). If message couldn't be saved to the mailbox for any reason, it's delivered to INBOX instead. -s: Subscribe to mailboxes that are automatically created (via -m parameter or fileinto Sieve action). (v1.1.3+) Those have been replaced in Dovecot v2 with: # Should saving a mail to a nonexistent mailbox automatically create it? lda_mailbox_autocreate = no # Should automatically created mailboxes be also automatically subscribed? lda_mailbox_autosubscribe = no But neither of those options are mentioned on the LDA wiki page: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/LDA It's only mentioned in passing on the 2.0 page that explains the changes between 1.2 and 2.0.
