[Dovecot] Multiple IP(or Host) listen in dovecot.conf.
by Yoshihiro Kawabe 11 Jun '07

11 Jun '07

Hi. Does someone make update for `Multiple IP(or Host) listen in dovecot.conf'? I made trivial patch so. But this patch doesn't solve `Support listening in multiple sockets' in TODO. It appends only the capability as multiple listen in dovecot.conf. So, `login_processes_count' becomes ambiguous. In CASE1, login_processes_count = 2, forked imap-login processes are 8. -- samples dovecot.conf applied this patch are following. CASE 1: listen = 127.0.0.1, 192.168.0.10, imap-server1, imap-server2.example.com or CASE 2: protocol imap { listen = 127.0.0.1:143, imap-server1:10143 ssl_listen = imap-server2:10943, 127.0.0.1 .. } protocol pop3 { listen = 127.0.0.1, pop-server1:10100 .. } -- Update brief. src/master/ master-setting.h: listen_fd and related members changed to array_t. also name add (s). master-setting.c: few member initialization delete. main.c: handle multiple IP and port, fds as array_t. resolve_ip argment change. login-process.h: add listen_fd and ssl_listen_fd member to login_group structre. login-process.c: add login_groups_create function for mapping login process to each listen fd. change dup2 source fd in create_login_process. src/lib network.c: change getnameinfo error value. -- Kawabe,Yoshihiro <sowhat(a)amnis.co.jp> As the stars blink in the night sky, our married hearts are never splitted.

[Dovecot] dovecot-20070605 runtime problems
by David Favor 11 Jun '07

11 Jun '07

I've build this nightly snapshot with my installed openssl, which is 0.9.8b (Fedora 6) and the latest openssl development tree. The 20070605 version of dovecot starts up doing ssl protocol perfect, then after clicking a few directories, then when clicking back to INBOX, dovecot hangs. There is no logging info, even with --enable-debug on and all .conf file directives I can find. Doing a 'ngrep port 993' shows no SSL dialog. If I go through my same compile sequence using the dovecot-1.0.0 source all is well with both the system openssl and the latest openssl snapshot, so it appears something is wrong in the current nightly snapshot. My primary question is howto debug this hang, short of attaching gdb to the process. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks. I'm using the latest Thunderbird version 2.0.0.4 (20070604). I've build it using: [root@net1 dovecot-20070605]# build_dovecot mkdir -p /build/work/dovecot-20070605 cd /build/work/dovecot-20070605 unset CDPATH export CPPFLAGS='-pipe -O2 -I/usr/local/include' export LDFLAGS='-L/usr/local/lib' make distclean ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/pkgs/dovecot-20070605 --disable-nls --with-deliver --with-sqlite --without-vpopmail --with-notify=inotify --with-ioloop=epoll --with-ssl=openssl --enable-debug --enable-asserts make make check rm -rf /usr/local/pkgs/dovecot-20070605 make install install -c -m 555 doc/mkcert.sh /usr/local/pkgs/dovecot-20070605/sbin/dovecot-mkcert shmk /usr/local/pkgs/dovecot-20070605/sbin /usr/local/sbin mkdir -p /etc/ssl/certs /etc/ssl/private rm -f /etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem /etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem export OPENSSLCONFIG=/tools/conf/dovecot-openssl.conf dovecot-mkcert cp -f /etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem /var/www/html/. chmod ugo+r /var/www/html/dovecot.pem groupadd dovecot || /bin/true groupadd: group dovecot exists useradd -M -g dovecot -d /usr/local -s /sbin/nologin dovecot || /bin/true useradd: user dovecot exists (cd /etc/init.d && ln -sf /tools/init.d/dovecot .) -- Like feeling your best ever, all day, every day?

[Dovecot] Can't connect to SMTP outside localhost

[Dovecot] auth_username_format
by Sergio Souza 11 Jun '07

11 Jun '07

I configured in the archive dovecot.conf the parameter auth_username_format = "%Ld_%Ln" because the users of my server have access yours e-mail accounts based in /etc/passswd where they are registered in format domain.com_user. This configuration work without problems via pop3 and imap (squirrelmail). My server is CentOS 5.0 and dovecot is 1.0.rc15. The problem that occurs currently is: when the users go to have access the interface of change preferences (ISPCONFIG) where the supplied data of authentication are not the data of the email account (eg. user(a)domain.com) and yes of /etc/passwd the dovecot inserts underscore before the domain (eg. _domain.com_user) when it would have to make this only between the domain and the user. Exists a way to solve this problem? Thank in advance. -- Sergio Souza Wireless Support

[Dovecot] dovecot vs. Outlook Mobile
by J.Wendland＠scan-plus.de 10 Jun '07

10 Jun '07

Hi, I am testing dovecot with Outlook Mobile 5 (OM5), which is currently not working. OM5 connects, says "NOOP" and "CAPABILITY", does login correctly and simply loggs out after that telling the user that it could not download any messages. When I put an imapproxy[0] in front of dovecot, OM5 works perfectly well. That leads me to the thought, that something in the way dovecot sends its responses makes OM5 upset. Does anybody on this have seen this before?

[Dovecot] user lookups not working when using dovecot as lda
by Sven 10 Jun '07

10 Jun '07

Hi Currently I'm using local from postfix for delivering mails. Now I want to change this to using the dovecot lda as I want to use plus addressing. I configured postfix to use dovecot as I found in the wiki and several howtos in the net. My Problem is the following: dovecot delver accepts the mail but bounces it with error: user unknown. Logging in and authentication via imap4 and pop3 works, only deliver seems to be unable to lookup the users from userdb. Has anyone an idea where my mistake is? Here is my actual configuration: dovecot version: 1.0.beta9 postfix version: 2.2.10 system: FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE The system is using maildirs. I changed my postfix/master.cf to the following: dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=dovecot:dovecot argv=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d ${recipient} -m ${extension} In my postfix/main.cf I use the following: dovecot_destination_recipient_limit = 1 local_transport = dovecot lda & auth specific settings from my dovecot.conf: protocol lda { postmaster_address = postmaster(a)my-domain.org hostname = mail.my-domain.org #mail_plugins = #mail_plugin_dir = /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master log_path = /var/log/dovecot-deliver.log info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-deliver.log # syslog_facility = mail } auth_executable = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-auth auth_process_size = 256 auth_debug = yes auth_verbose = yes auth default { mechanisms = plain passdb pam { } userdb passwd { } user = root socket listen { master { path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode = 0666 user = dovecot group = dovecot } client { path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-client mode = 0660 } } } plugin { } Any help is appreciated as I dont know where to look for my mistake. regards, Sven
