[Dovecot] lda catchall
by Stéphane Cottin 23 Feb '09

23 Feb '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I'm using dovecot lda in a qmail / vpopmail testing environnement. I would like to replace vpopmail lda with dovecot's one , because of quotas , sieve filers, indexing while delivering ... Everything is working great, except the catchall. If I want to bounce, a first line like "# bounce-no-mailbox" in the .qmail file works, without this line, emails to unknown addresses are deferred and stay in the queue, because they are deliverable for qmail, but not for dovecot lda. How can I set a catchall email address for dovecot lda ? thx Stéphane Cottin -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkmixCcACgkQNgQUYqHIqqvttQCfcNBLd9Qo06g5nMcrfZAwVlpv WegAnj7jIA/XFJWmt/2jkg1sxRYKRaI7 =JTTV -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

RETURN (PARTIAL) from CONTEXT=SORT that allows windowing SORT results) - pop3: If client idles for 10 seconds, commit transaction (allowing mbox to become unlocked). - crashfixes to virtual mailboxes - all kinds of bug fixes, error message improvements, etc. - http://dovecot.org/patches/1.2/stats-plugin.c may give some interesting statistics about commands There isn't really much left to do for v1.2.0 except some small fixing to shared mailbox code. And writing documentation for it..

[Dovecot] IMAP ACLs and global ACLs in v1.2
by Timo Sirainen 23 Feb '09

23 Feb '09

I just committed code for IMAP ACL support based on the code from Kolab people. I did quite large changes though. I also changed how global ACLs are handled. Previously local ACLs could override global ACLs, but now that users are able to modify the ACLs I think it should be the other way around. From what I've heard global ACLs are typically added for things like 1) disallowing user from doing something in specific mailboxes such as expunge messages, 2) giving a specific master user access to some mailboxes ONLY, such as voicemail. For 1) case a user really shouldn't be able to grant himself privileges back but still should be able to share the mailbox to others (so the global ACL should have 'a' privilege). For 2) case a user shouldn't be able to remove privileges from the voicemail. So now the user can freely update the local ACLs in whatever way he wants. But in the end if there are any global ACLs, all the local ACLs for those identifiers are ignored. Also local negative identifiers are ignored, so that e.g. global "user=foo lr" can't be disabled by a local "-user=foo lr" ACL. I guess I should update the Wiki ACL page about how exactly the ACLs are applied now that they're well in my memory. :) One thing I'm not really sure about is the "owner" handling. IMAP ACL specifications have no such concept. I think many/most other servers simply add a default ACL for the user name directly. It's a useful concept though, especially with the global ACLs. So currently Dovecot replies: x getacl inbox * ACL "inbox" "owner" lrwstiekxacd x OK Getacl completed. But should it just internally convert "owner" to "username" when replying? But then again if there's a separate rule directly for the "username" it breaks. Do any of the existing ACL-capable IMAP clients want to see the username in the ACL reply or can they handle "owner" just fine? Also what about global ACLs? The current code just lists them twice with local ACLs, which is definitely wrong: x getacl foo * ACL "foo" "xx" w "xx" lr "owner" lrwstiekxacd x OK Getacl completed. Perhaps the global ACLs could have a prefix character? Maybe '#'? Which reminds me, the current dovecot-acl file is mapped to IMAP ACLs like this: dovecot-acl : IMAP ACL - anyone : anyone - authenticated : authenticated - owner : owner - user=name : name - group=name : $name - group-override=name : !$name So all global ACLs would get the # prefix, like #anyone, #name, #!$name. Any thoughts? BTW. Listing shared mailboxes still doesn't work. I guess we'll see tomorrow if I still have energy to get that done.

[Dovecot] dovecot auth
by ben 23 Feb '09

23 Feb '09

Hi, I'm using dovecot with a passdb-file . When I login using : test(a)testdomain.com I notice dovecot strips off the domainname and looks up everything in front of the @ in his passdb-file... So I went on to configure the following in my dovecot.conf : auth_username_format = %u@%d restarted dovecot, but he still strips of the @ and the domainname ... LOG (sorry for f* up format) : dovecot: Feb 21 12:15:08 Info: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=24483 dovecot: Feb 21 12:15:12 Info: auth(default): client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=pop3 lip=195.207.136.102 rip=195.207.136.108 lport=110 rport=36132 resp=AGJlbkBpdHV4LmJlAHRlc3QxMjMu dovecot: Feb 21 12:15:12 Info: auth(default): passwd-file(test@testdomain.com@testdomain.com,195.207.136.108): lookup: user=test file=/opt/dovecot/etc/dovecot.passwd dovecot: Feb 21 12:15:12 Info: auth(default): passwd-file(test@testdomain.com@testdomain.com,195.207.136.108): unknown user dovecot: Feb 21 12:15:14 Info: auth(default): client out: FAIL 1 user=test(a)testdomain.com Can someone enlighten me on how to config it so he looks up "test(a)testdomain.com" fully ? thx

[Dovecot] TLS / Dovecot / POP3
by John Espiro 22 Feb '09

22 Feb '09

I am using Thunderbird 2.x as my client, Dovecot on the server (POP3 not IMAP). Currently I have in my conf file: protocols = pop3s pop3 ssl_disable = no ssl_cert_file = /usr/share/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key_file = /usr/share/ssl/private/dovecot.pem ssl_parameters_file = /var/run/dovecot/ssl-parameters.dat disable_plaintext_auth = yes login = pop3 In Thunderbird, I have the email server setup to: - Port 110 - TLS Here's my question: If I change protocols = pop3s pop3 to protocols = pop3s I can no longer connect to my mail server via Thunderbird unless I setup Thunderbird to use SSL. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks, John

[Dovecot] LDAP documentation cleanups
by Timo Sirainen 22 Feb '09

22 Feb '09

I remember some people also complained how the LDAP documentation was messy. Here's my attempt at cleaning it up: http://wiki.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/LDAP Anything still unclear? (Other than SSL/TLS setup. Someone who knows how it really works should write something there.)

[Dovecot] Problem with v1.1.10
by Cyrus Rahman 22 Feb '09

22 Feb '09

I've been using 1.1.8 successfully but tried out 1.1.10 this morning. I have a combination of system and virtual users. The system users were unaffected by the change, but the virtual users all lost access to their mail because their home directories, as interpreted by dovecot, moved from user@domain to user@user@domain. The location of the home directory is given to dovecot for virtual users using the static db as uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/var/vmail/%u mail=maildir:~/Inboxdir Were there any changes in this area that might have caused the problem?

[Dovecot] dovecot 1.2 virtual folders question
by Robert Schetterer 22 Feb '09

22 Feb '09

Hi Timo is this possible a possible setup ? for downloading imap folders ( including inbox ) with pop3 controlled by a a dovecot-virtual file in usr/local/virtual/%d/%u/ with content something like that * -Trash -Trash/* -Sent -Sent/* -Drafts -Drafts/* all namespace private { separator = / prefix = "" location=maildir:/usr/local/virtual/%d/%u/:CONTROL=/usr/local/virtual/%d/%u/:INDEX=/usr/local/virtual/%d/%u/ inbox = yes subscriptions = yes list = yes } namespace private { prefix = virtual/ separator = / location = virtual:/usr/local/virtual/%d/%u:LAYOUT=maildir++ inbox = no } it doesnt work yet, but i am nearly sure that i havent understand http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Virtual perhaps you might bring me on the way background : i want to include a global sieve rule which sorts marked spam mails in a subfolder of inbox called Junk, so that users never can overide it and set perhaps an autoreply by an Sieve rule by incomming mail to inbox to make it possible that pop3 users may fetch sorted Spam mails outta the Junk folder too, i wanna use virtual setup folders Trash , Sent , Drafts are standart folders are standart and should be ignored with that -- Best Regards MfG Robert Schetterer Germany/Munich/Bavaria
