[Dovecot] Creating a "default" domain
by Charles Sprickman 08 Aug '09

08 Aug '09

Hello, I'm setting up a test server to work through the issues involved in bringing a bunch of vpopmail/qmail/courier users into a postfix/dovecot server. So far I'm seeing lots of info to aid in the transition. One thing I'm lost on is that since Dovecot is providing all the auth mechanisms rather than vpopmail, I'm not sure how to emulate a particular vpopmail behavior we rely on. Vpopmail allows for the concept of a "default" domain for authentication. So if I have a bunch of domains, and one is "example.com", users in that domain can login with only the username part of their id (ie: "john") rather than supplying the domain (ie: "john(a)example.com"). I need to continue to offer this unless I want to walk a few hundred users through reconfiguring their mail clients. :) Any pointers?

[Dovecot] convert config from 1.1.2_1 to 1.1.16
by Ebbe Hjorth 08 Aug '09

08 Aug '09

Hi, Im tryin to follow a guide, telling me howto setup freebsd with postfix and dovecot. The text in bold (first section), is what the guide says, and the text that follows is what the /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf files says. Can you please help me on how to convert from the 1.1.2_1 setup to the correct configuration for the 1.1.16? / Thank you very much. *socket listen { client { path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode = 0660 user = postfix group = postfix } } * socket listen { master { # Master socket provides access to userdb information. It's typically # used to give Dovecot's local delivery agent access to userdb so it # can find mailbox locations. path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode = 0600 # Default user/group is the one who started dovecot-auth (root) #user = #group = } client { # The client socket is generally safe to export to everyone. Typical use # is to export it to your SMTP server so it can do SMTP AUTH lookups # using it. path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-client mode = 0660 }

[Dovecot] All mail in mbox disappears when using Outlook
by Frank Leonhardt 08 Aug '09

08 Aug '09

I thought I was imaging it but... I have a friend (honestly) that likes to clear his inbox every month by copying older into a folder (e.g. June-2009). Every month he complains that all the mail in the new folder has disappeared. This has happened three times now, and he's sort-of-right. I now believe it's a bug rather than him. The setup is Dovecot 1.1.3 on FreeBSD 7.0 and the client is Outlook 2003 SP3 (using IMAP). What you end up with is a folder called June-2009 with no messages visible. Outlook reckons it's completely empty - size 0. I don't know how he gets to this point, but it can't be anything that bizarre - just copying messages. It's happened three months in a row. However, he can't see the contents and I can't see the contents using Outlook. Strangely, Eudora and Squirrel have no problem. Corrupt mbox file? Probably not. If you copy the problem one, the copy works fine. The really weird thing is that if you rename the problem file (using mv) it STILL DOESN'T work. I've considered the possibility that it's got a bad lock on it, but if so, how come Squirrel and Eudora have no problem? I've searched as far as I can for any known problems using Outlook. What next? Thanks, Frank. ====================================================== # 1.1.3: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf log_path: /var/log/dovecot protocols: imap imaps pop3 pop3s ssl_cert_file: /etc/mail/certs/dovecot-cert.pem ssl_key_file: /etc/mail/certs/dovecot-private.pem disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login login_greeting_capability(default): yes login_greeting_capability(imap): yes login_greeting_capability(pop3): no verbose_proctitle: yes first_valid_uid: 1000 first_valid_gid: 1000 mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: mbox:~/mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u maildir_copy_preserve_filename: yes mail_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_process_size: 512 mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3 imap_client_workarounds(default): delay-newmail netscape-eoh tb-extra-mailbox-sep imap_client_workarounds(imap): delay-newmail netscape-eoh tb-extra-mailbox-sep imap_client_workarounds(pop3): pop3_enable_last(default): no pop3_enable_last(imap): no pop3_enable_last(pop3): yes pop3_client_workarounds(default): pop3_client_workarounds(imap): pop3_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh auth default: mechanisms: plain login username_format: %Ln process_size: 512 passdb: driver: pam args: session=yes dovecot userdb: driver: passwd args: blocking=yes socket: type: listen client: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-client mode: 432 master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384

[Dovecot] hoping someone has a suggestion
by P.A 07 Aug '09

07 Aug '09

Hi using dovecot 1.0.10 with pop/imap, using maildir, with 2000+ users mostly using pop but many using imap. Once in a great while I have problems with dovecot pop timing out. If I telnet to port 110 it just takes forever to come up or it doesn't at all, the samething happens on the imap port although 110 is always worst. At 1st when troubleshooting I was not sure what was causing the situation and when I ran out of options I stopped postfix. When I did this dovecot immediately started working again, that is port 110/143 came up fast and all the user logins were fast again. When I restarted postfix after a minute or so dovecot became slow again. While observing this situation I notice that postfix had most of the connections about 300+ in established state, while dovecot was using around 150 connections. After adjusting some of the parameters on postfix and shutting it down multiple times, suddenly everything worked but this time postfix was reporting over 3000 connections mostly in TIME_WAIT state which is normal for us. My question is what do you guys think is happening here, what is the relationship between dovecot/postfix that would cause this to happen. I'm just looking for some suggestions in case this happens again. # 1.0.10: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf protocols: imap pop3 ssl_disable: yes disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login login_greeting: D-V1 NP09 ready. login_process_size: 384 login_processes_count: 55 login_max_processes_count: 450 mail_location: maildir:/home/%1u/%u/Maildir maildir_copy_with_hardlinks: yes maildir_copy_preserve_filename: yes mail_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3 pop3_uidl_format(default): pop3_uidl_format(imap): pop3_uidl_format(pop3): %08Xu%08Xv pop3_client_workarounds(default): pop3_client_workarounds(imap): pop3_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh auth default: count: 4 passdb: driver: shadow userdb: driver: passwd

[Dovecot] Bug - dovecot-auth hangs in ldap query. 1.1.16 (also in 1.2.2)
by Marek Miska 07 Aug '09

dovecot-auth hangs when many (>128) LDAP queries are submited simultaneously. (for example via pop3 benchmarking tool). Bug is in src/auth/db-ldap.c:db_ldap_request_queue_next if (queue_size > DB_LDAP_MAX_PENDING_REQUESTS) { /* wait until server has replied to some requests */ return FALSE; } (queue_size is total queue size, not only queries sent to LDAP server.) I think this condition should be: if (conn->pending_count >= DB_LDAP_MAX_PENDING_REQUESTS) {

[Dovecot] Trying to get dovecot and squirrelmail talking
by Neil Bird 07 Aug '09

07 Aug '09

I have been using dovecot+squirrelmail with no problems on my Fedora box (currently at F10). I've been using a simple mail location string along the lines of 'mbox:~/usr/mail/%u:INBOX=mbox:/var/spool/mail/%u' (sorry, that's off the top of my head, I can't get into my box from here at the moment). Essentially: standard mbox inbox in /var/spool/mail/[user], plus mbox files under ~/usr/mail. These latter are for remote access to archived Thunderbird files, which are [currently] mbox format. This works fine. However, I've had some slight issues elsewhere which I feel would be eased or solved by making my INBOX use maildir format, and keeping mails I want to remote-access more often in the top level maildir there (instead of always having to dip into the TB mboxes). To that end, I tried setting up: # want to be able to add sibling and child folders here namespace private { separator = / prefix = location = /var/spool/mail/%u inbox = yes hidden = no list = yes } # And the legacy mbox files go here under 'local' namespace private { separator = / prefix = local/ location = mbox:~/usr/mail hidden = no list = yes } (with appropriate an procmail change for maildir delivery) Now, this pretty much worked the way I wanted. However, afterwards, trying to connect from squirrelmail I had it say that there were no [IMAP] folders to subscribe to, including the INBOX. I couldn't se any errors, either in /var/log/maillog or http's logs. Have I got something wrong? Am I trying to do something that's doomed to failure? -- [neil@fnx ~]# rm -f .signature [neil@fnx ~]# ls -l .signature ls: .signature: No such file or directory [neil@fnx ~]# exit
