[Dovecot] Automounted home dirs not working
by Roy McMorran 15 May '08

15 May '08

I'm testing Dovecot as a possible replacement for UW. In my environment the home directories are automounted via NFS from a NetApp. In general this works fine, but Dovecot isn't picking up the automounted directories. Consider the case of Arthur Dent, test user: May 12 10:30:24 testbed dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.info] imap-login: Login: user=<adent>, method=PLAIN, rip=xxx.xxx.xxx.242, lip=xxx.xxx.xxx.242, secured May 12 10:30:24 testbed dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.error] IMAP(adent): mkdir_parents(/home/adent/Mail) failed: No such file or directory May 12 10:30:24 testbed dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.error] IMAP(adent): Mail storage creation failed with mail_location: mbox:/home/adent/Mail:INBOX=/var/mail/adent May 12 10:30:24 testbed dovecot: [ID 961074 mail.error] child 21816 (imap) returned error 89 (if however I make sure that /home/adent is mounted at the server (eg. cd /home/adent) prior to starting the mail client this error does not occur) Why isn't the automount succeeding? This is Dovecot Version 1.0.13. I'm running under Solaris 10. Thanks!

Its not always because someone was lazy about > their time setup. My point exactly. It's amazing how some people are quick to ramble about someone else's administrative incompetence without taking time to read the situation. (One person even suggested hacking the dovecot startup script to run ntpdate -- useless as ntpd already occupies the ports). Fact is, ntpd can take unpredictable delay before the initial time-step. Delay that can't be controlled, and it would be unreasonable to delay starting mail services until it is guaranteed to complete. Then, dovecot dies, and admin (who is not always immediately available) has to start it manually anyway (especially as it is not clear what to do with possibly unsynced timestamps) -- only after the unnecessary downtime. So, the question is: why on earth can't we add a single line of code to dovecot to restart itself after terminating? Kind of reminds me of the "fsck_y_enable=YES" option in rc.conf. Without it, if fsck does not like someting during reboot, the server would just sit there in single-user prompt, waiting for (expensive) console operations. Best wishes Eugene

[Dovecot] Allow_nets + MySQL failing when using range notation
by Javier García 15 May '08

15 May '08

Hello all, I am testing my dovecot installation in order to restrict access via POP3 for IPs outside my network. I have read and understood the instructions in the wiki and I have reached a configuration that works ONLY when single IPs are listed in allow_nets but not when ranges in the notation x.x.x.x/y are listed. Some examples should be more explanatory. I am using 1.0.rc15 patched as for last week as distributed in Debian etch. First of all, everything related to this is stored in a MySQL database, here is my password query: password_query = SELECT u.password as password, t.allow_nets as allow_nets FROM users u, access_type t WHERE u.ID_access_type = t.ID_access and ( t.%Ls = 1 ) and u.mail = '%u' This one should validate all mail addresses when the protocol used is marked as 1 in table access_type and when the allow_nets value in this same table contains the IP used for the access request. The, if access_type looks like: ID_access pop3 imap allow_nets 3 0 1 10.34.128.0/23, 10.34.133.0/24, 192.168.0.0/24 users with ID_access=3 fail to login by either pop3 (normal, value is 0) or imap. Here is the corresponding excerpt from dovecot.log: dovecot: 2008-03-31 11:29:04 Info: auth-worker(default): sql(user(a)domain.com,10.34.133.104): query: SELECT u.password as password, t.allow_nets as allow_nets FROM users u, access_type t WHERE u.ID_access_type = t.ID_access and ( t.imap = 1 ) and u.mail = 'user(a)domain.com' dovecot: 2008-03-31 11:26:39 Info: auth-worker(default): auth(user(a)domain.com,10.34.133.104): allow_nets: Matching for network 192.168.0.0/24 dovecot: 2008-03-31 11:26:39 Info: auth-worker(default): auth(user(a)domain.com,10.34.133.104): allow_nets: Matching for network 10.34.128.0/23 dovecot: 2008-03-31 11:26:39 Info: auth-worker(default): auth(user(a)domain.com,10.34.133.104): allow_nets: Matching for network 10.34.133.0/23 dovecot: 2008-03-31 11:26:39 Info: auth-worker(default): passdb(user(a)domain.com,10.34.133.104): allow_nets check failed: IP not in allowed networks but if it looks like ID_access pop3 imap allow_nets 3 0 1 10.34.133.105, 10.34.133.104 then access is allowed by IMAP dovecot: 2008-03-31 11:34:01 Info: auth-worker(default): sql(user(a)domain.com,10.34.133.104): query: SELECT u.password as password, t.allow_nets as allow_nets FROM users u, access_type t WHERE u.ID_access_type = t.ID_access and ( t.imap = 1 ) and u.mail = 'user(a)domain.com' dovecot: 2008-03-31 11:34:01 Info: auth-worker(default): auth(user(a)domain.com,10.34.133.104): allow_nets: Matching for network 10.34.133.105 dovecot: 2008-03-31 11:34:01 Info: auth-worker(default): auth(user(a)domain.com,10.34.133.104): allow_nets: Matching for network 10.34.133.104 dovecot: 2008-03-31 11:34:01 Info: auth(default): client out: OK 1 user=user(a)domain.com while POP3 still disallowed as expected: dovecot: 2008-03-31 11:34:25 Info: auth-worker(default): sql(user(a)domain.com,10.34.133.104): query: SELECT u.password as password, t.allow_nets as allow_nets FROM users u, access_type t WHERE u.ID_access_type = t.ID_access and ( t.pop3 = 1 ) and u.mail = 'user(a)domain.com' dovecot: 2008-03-31 11:34:25 Info: auth-worker(default): sql(user(a)domain.com,10.34.133.104): unknown user So, is there a bug related to the IP class notation or am I doing something wrong? I have tried to leave a single class (10.34.133.0/24), to explicitly erase any spaces after the commas, but nothing of these worked. Also, note that using 0.0.0.0/0 behaves as expected, this is, access for any IP is allowed. Thanks in advance, Javier

[Dovecot] Mixed maildir and mbox folder
by Stefan Klatt 15 May '08

Hello, i tried to implement a mixed structure of mbox for spams and spam backscatters and maildir for the rest at dovecot 1.0.13. I used the information at the dovecot wiki: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Namespaces (Multiple Mailbox Locations) But if i try this (complete config is attached with this part) namespace: type: private separator: / prefix: "#md/" location: maildir:/srv/imapd/user/%u/maildir inbox: yes hidden: yes namespace: type: private separator: / location: mbox:/srv/imapd/user/%u/Spam thunderbird can't open a maildir folder:-( The msg is " Mailbox doesn't exist: XXXX" If i use this version: namespace: type: private separator: / location: maildir:/srv/imapd/user/%u/maildir inbox: yes namespace: type: private separator: / prefix: "#mb/" location: mbox:/srv/imapd/user/%u/Spam hidden: yes Thunderbird can open maildir folder but no mbox folder.. " Mailbox doesn't exist: XXXX" :-( Where is my fault? Or is this feature first complete implemented at 1.1?

[Dovecot] homedir override problem, MS AD + WINBIND + PAM + SIEVE
by Milan Koudelka - Internet Mall 15 May '08

15 May '08

Hello, i installed my Dovecot with authetification in MS AD throught WINBIND and PAM. Works fine. So I have virtual users with UID, GID from MS AD. I set maildir path as mail_location = maildir:/var/spool/mail/%n/ Then i want to make some vacation system. I install sieve and use dovecot LDA. In postfix main.cf I have mailbox_command = /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver Setup of lda in dovecot.conf protocol lda { postmaster_address = postmaster(a)mail-server.cz log_path = /var/log/dovecot-deliver.log info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-deliver.log mail_plugins = cmusieve } Sieve user-scripts doesn't work without this: plugin { sieve = /var/spool/mail/%n/.dovecot.sieve } With this settings, LDA and sieve works OK. I can use user-scrips to forward mail by subject or something like this. Vacation rules works too. But it isn't create .dovecot.lda-dupes in user home directory that contains e-mail addresses that was replied. So vacation is sent always. I have this error in dovecot-deliver.log deliver(mkoudelka): May 14 12:24:19 Error: open(/home/MALL/mkoudelka/.temp.cz-dc1-s-018.mall.cz.11302.7e2cc05a1e1df1a7) failed: No such file or directory I tried to override home directory by set this: userdb passwd { args = home=/var/spool/mail/%n } But there isnt't any change.

[Dovecot] Disconnected: BUG internal error

15 May '08

Hello, I'm seeing some messages from dovecot in my logs such as: May 8 11:43:41 snowdrift dovecot: IMAP(username): Disconnected: BUG: Unknown internal error I did some searching, and discovered a similar report last month, to which there was a request for more information that didn't seem to get followed up, so I have collected this information too.

Please let me know if there's anything further I can provide to help track this down. Thanks, Ainsley

[Dovecot] unix style mbox and vmain maildir on the same server
by Glen Lee Edwards 15 May '08

15 May '08

Hi, I'm new to dovecott. Using version 1.0.rc15. I have a mail server that has both the old style unix mbox in /var/mail/%u, and virtual mail maildir in /var/vmail/%d/%n. Debian Linux Etch stable. I'm trying to get dovecot to deliver to /var/mail/%u using mbox format, and to deliver to /var/vmail/%d/%n using maildir format. I can't get it do work. I can get it to access both directories, but not use the two formats. This is what I tried last: namespace private { separator = / inbox = yes hidden = yes prefix = location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u } namespace private { separator = / inbox = no hidden = yes prefix = mail/ location = maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%n } I have since commented out the above two namespaces and set mail_location to mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%n. $ dovecot -n # /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: imap imaps pop3 pop3s disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-login mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%n mail_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/pop3 pop3_uidl_format(default): pop3_uidl_format(imap): pop3_uidl_format(pop3): %08Xu%08Xv auth default: mechanisms: plain login passdb: driver: pam args: dovecot passdb: driver: passwd args: blocking=yes passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: passwd userdb: driver: static args: uid=2000 gid=2000 home=/var/vmail/%d/%n allow_all_users=yes socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 user: vmail Glen

At another site I have the same version, but with an SQL backend. That one works beautifully with relative (to chroot dir) paths. -- Valkai Elõd
