[Dovecot] Need help to install dovecot on solaris 10 with openldap libs
by Dovecot Jami 17 Jan '08

17 Jan '08

Hi, I install dovecot with ldap support at Solaris 10 (x86). I know that solaris LDAP is broken and so I install openldap. OpenLDAP shared libraries are at /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/include. While installing dovecot, I did the followings: I execute this before run "./configure --with-ldap" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.2/lib -R/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.2/lib -L/usr/local/lib -R/usr/local/lib" but dovecot is using the Solaris default LDAP lib files. I also run LDFLAGS="-R/usr/local/lib" and LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.2/lib -L/usr/local/lib /usr/local/lib/libldap-2.3.so.0 " But dovecot is still using solaris ldap libs. ldd /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-auth libcrypt_i.so.1 => /usr/lib/libcrypt_i.so.1 libpam.so.1 => /lib/libpam.so.1 libldap.so.5 => /usr/lib/libldap.so.5 libsocket.so.1 => /lib/libsocket.so.1 libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 librt.so.1 => /lib/librt.so.1 libsendfile.so.1 => /lib/libsendfile.so.1 libc.so.1 => /lib/libc.so.1 libgen.so.1 => /lib/libgen.so.1 libcmd.so.1 => /lib/libcmd.so.1 libsasl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libsasl.so.1 libmd5.so.1 => /lib/libmd5.so.1 libnspr4.so => /usr/lib/mps/libnspr4.so libplc4.so => /usr/lib/mps/libplc4.so libnss3.so => /usr/lib/mps/libnss3.so libssl3.so => /usr/lib/mps/libssl3.so libmp.so.2 => /lib/libmp.so.2 libscf.so.1 => /lib/libscf.so.1 libaio.so.1 => /lib/libaio.so.1 libpthread.so.1 => /lib/libpthread.so.1 libthread.so.1 => /lib/libthread.so.1 libdl.so.1 => /lib/libdl.so.1 libsoftokn3.so => /usr/lib/mps/libsoftokn3.so libplds4.so => /usr/lib/mps/libplds4.so libdoor.so.1 => /lib/libdoor.so.1 libuutil.so.1 => /lib/libuutil.so.1 libbsm.so.1 => /lib/libbsm.so.1 libsecdb.so.1 => /lib/libsecdb.so.1 libtsol.so.2 => /lib/libtsol.so.2 libm.so.2 => /lib/libm.so.2 Please help me to solve this problem.

[Dovecot] convert plugin fails - drops root privileges then tries to create file in /
by Mikel Ward 17 Jan '08

17 Jan '08

Hi I just tried to run the convert plugin as described at http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Convert (except with mail_location = maildir:~/Mail) It fails with an error message: Eopen(/.temp.falcon.endbracket.net.18618.8d5e0a038da6cf06) failed: Permission denied Error: imap dump-capability process returned 89 It looks like Dovecot execs /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap, which drops root privileges (probably via get_imap_capability), then loads /usr/lib/dovecot/imap/lib01_convert_plugin.so, which tries to create a file in the root directory, which it obviously won't have write privileges on. I'm running dovecot-1.0-1.2.rc15.el5 on CentOS 5. If I change the paths from ~ to /home/%u, I get this error message: Emkdir_parents(/home/dump-capability/mail) failed: Permission denied

[Dovecot] Postfix & Dovecot LDA
by tomzu＠buu.lv 17 Jan '08

17 Jan '08

Hi, I was using Dovecot (POP3,IMAP+quotas) with postfix quota "addon". But the postfix's quotas were reported differently and the quota file gets messed up all the time. So now I have also Dovecot's LDA, and everything works like charm... but... Now postfix can pass only one mail at a time to LDA. And that slows down delivery. Postfix master file: dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -f ${sender} -d ${recipient} Is there a way to pass more than one mail at a time?

[Dovecot] Deliver, sendmail, virtual users, and catch-all addresses
by Eric Loyd 17 Jan '08

17 Jan '08

I have spent a long time looking into this and can't find the answer I'm looking for, so I'm asking here. I'm cutting the example down to just the bare minimums. This is NOT my actual configuration, but is sufficient for asking this question: How can I use dovecot's deliver LDA to deliver to virtual users, but then have unknown virtual users fall back to catch-all addresses defined by sendmail? Background: * sendmail is the MTA. I do not wish to change this. * procmail is the default MDA. * deliver is set up per the dovecot documentation as another MDA. * mailertable is configured to send mydomain.com to dovecot:dovecot * SQL backend for user/passwords I have it working the way I want with the exception of catch-alls. I thought that it might work by adding @mydomain.com to virtusertable, but sendmail sees the "user not found" return from deliver as the MDA and bounces the mail to postmaster. So what I'm trying to accomplish is this: Mail from user(a)external.com to me(a)mydomain.com Deliver to me Mail from user(a)external.com to sales(a)mydomain.com (virtual) Deliver via deliver to sales(a)mydomain.com Mail from user(a)external.com to foobar(a)mydomain.com (invalid) Deliver to catchall - spam(a)otherdomain.com Can someone point me in the right direction. RTFM is fine if you'll tell me what FM to R, because I've run out of ideas... Thanks! -- Eric Loyd

Hi, I am installing dovecot-1.0.10 on Solaris 10 with LDAP support. I know that Solaris LDAP is broken and so I install openldap-2.3.35. My openldap-2.3.35 shared lib files are at /usr/local/lib/ and /usr/local/include/. Barkley DB version is 4.2. Now I am configuring dovecot to use openldap as follows, PATH=$PATH:/usr/sfw/bin:/usr/ccs/bin export PATH LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.2/lib -R/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.2/lib -L/usr/local/lib -R/usr/local/lib" ./configure --with-ldap make make install After installation it shows the same Solaris broken LDAP error message as below, dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.error] auth(default): LDAP: Buggy LDAP library returned wrong fd: 1 dovecot: [ID 128275 mail.error] Auth process died too early - shutting down Pls help me.

[Dovecot] Regarding the UIDLIST
by Kjartan Andreassen 17 Jan '08

17 Jan '08

Hi, I wonder if the UID's in the UIDLIST will ever change for a given email? Eg with courier it is recreated sometimes, but can i 100% rely on that the UIDs will never change? Or is there anything else i can rely on that will never change? The reason I'm asking is that i want to link certain tasks etc etc to an email, and the only way to get a unique link is that if the uidlist or something else unique never changes. Thank you. -- Kjartan
