[Dovecot] Problems with alpha3 + openssl-0.9.8
by Andy Cravens 27 Sep '05

27 Sep '05

Has anybody successfully compiled alpha 3 with the newly released openssl-0.9.8? I just wasted the weekend trying to get dovecot to compile using the new openssl libs. Openssl-0.9.7d works like dream. Just wanted to know if anybody had this combo working.

[Dovecot] 1.0alpha3 packages for debian
by Jaldhar H. Vyas 26 Sep '05

26 Sep '05

Sorry this took even longer than I thought but they should be arriving in unstable this afternoon. I also have a backport for stable available at http://www.braincells.com/backports This directory is not aptable so manually install the packages for now. (Hopefully backports.org will have their sarge repository open soon. When that happens they will move there.) The configuration file format has changed so you will want to carefully check /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf when upgrading. I forgot to put a note about that in NEWS.debian sorry. I think I might have forgotten a couple of config file tweaks people have suggested and in general, if you sent me mail in the past month or so and I didn't respond or the problem still isn't fixed, please give me a nudge. This is why you really ought to use the Debian bug tracking system rather than mailing the maintainer. Anyway, enjoy. -- Jaldhar H.

[Dovecot] virtual domain
by Barry Kwok 26 Sep '05

26 Sep '05

we are currently using vm-pop3d to implement virtual domains. But due to some locking problem in vm-pop3d, we want to test the possibility to change to dovecot. Currently, in vm-pop3d, the passwd file is located in /etc/virtual/domain1.com/passwd /etc/virtual/domain2.com/passwd and the passwd format is: user: md5 encrpted password and the email is store in /var/spool/virtual/domain1.com/user /var/spool/virtual/domain2.com/user and we login as user(a)domain1.com, user(a)domain2.com . We want to maintain this format as login id and the password format. What should be changed in dovecot.conf? Thanks.

[Dovecot] DSA support for TLS?
by OpenMacNews 25 Sep '05

25 Sep '05

hi all, i've dovecot TLS working correctly w/ locally generated *RSA* CA cert, domain privkey & self-signed domain cert. to that end, my dovecot.conf includes: ssl_key_file = /var/Security/mail.testdomain.com.privkey.rsa.pem ssl_cert_file = /var/Security/mail.testdomain.com.cert.rsa.pem ssl_ca_file = /var/Security/MyCertificateAuthority.CA.cert.rsa.pem ssl_verify_client_cert = no ssl_cipher_list = ALL:!SSLv2:!aNULL:!NULL:!EXPORT:!DES:!LOW:@STRENGTH however, if I try to setup for DSA use: ssl_key_file = /var/Security/mail.testdomain.com.privkey.dsa.pem ssl_cert_file = /var/Security/mail.testdomain.com.cert.dsa.pem ssl_ca_file = /var/Security/MyCertificateAuthority.CA.cert.dsa.pem ssl_verify_client_cert = no ssl_parameters_file = /var/Security/dsaparam.pem ssl_parameters_regenerate = 0 an attempt @ dovecot launch results in a logged error of: dovecot: Sep 11 11:58:43 Error: imap-login: Can't load private key file /var/Security/mail.testdomain.com.privkey.dsa.pem: error:0607907F:digital envelope routines:EVP_PKEY_get1_RSA:expecting an rsa key wherein it looks like dovecot is _still_ seeking an RSA key. fwiw, % cat /var/Security/mail.testdomain.com.privkey.dsa.pem -----BEGIN DSA PRIVATE KEY----- ... i've searched the dovecot wiki, and although the _only_ reference i find to dsa/diffie is @: http://wiki.dovecot.org/moin.cgi/MainConfig " ... SSL parameter file. Master process generates this file for login processes. It contains Diffie Hellman and RSA parameters. ssl_parameters_file = /var/run/dovecot/ssl-parameters.dat ... " it does seem to imply that DSA certs are, at least, supported. comments? cheers, richard

Re: [Dovecot] ManageSIEVE services with Dovecot cvs-LDA?
by OpenMacNews 25 Sep '05

25 Sep '05

i can't find a trace of any sieve mgmt services in dovecot as yet, and haven't found anything in this list ... so, if i *am* missing it, if someone would be kind enuf to point me in the right direction, i'd appreciate it! 8-} in the meantime, a little more info for those interested ... the latest spec for sieve management, "A Protocol for Remotely Managing Sieve Scripts", can be found at: <http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-martin-managesieve-05.txt> iiuc, one of the authors, Tim Martin / Mirapoint Inc., is the "Tim" of "timsieved" -- Cyrus' ManageSIEVE 'server' bundled with cyrus-imap. i can strip timesieved it out of a successful build of cyrus-imap, but it seems to be dependent on cyrus-sasl ... as such, i'm not sure how to integrate it with dovecot's SASL auth methods. i have a feeling that such fuctionality would have to be re-implemented in dovecot alongside of sieve itself ... and probably should, if it were to be included. the courier-imap mailing lists also have folks searching for an alternative to timsieved ... richard

[Dovecot] redirect and sieve
by Rudy Gevaert 24 Sep '05

24 Sep '05

Hello, I have set up postfix to use dove-cot lda. This works perfect. Sieve works a bit... I would like to user the redirect feature of sieve. Having followed the wiki I added the following in my .dovecot.sieve : require "redirect"; if header :contains "subject" ["order", "buy"] { redirect "orders(a)company.dom"; } With this setup I get the following error: Sep 22 11:25:38 zalm deliver: sieve parse error for rgevaert: line 1: unsupported feature Remove the require line makes a forward. But this doesn't forward the message I set, but makes a new empty message... : - From Rudy.Gevaert(a)UGent.be Thu Sep 22 14:31:46 2005 - Date: Thu, 22 Sep 2005 14:29:01 +0200 (CEST) - From: Rudy.Gevaert(a)UGent.be (Rudy Gevaert) - To: undisclosed-recipients: ; Is this a bug?

Bonjour a tous, In Dovecot v1.0.alpha2, authentication according domain seems not working passdb = passwd-file /etc/vmail/test.%d %d is not resolved as "domain.name" I browsed on mailing list post and found the problem already reported...

[Dovecot] Dovecot LDAP authentication not working
by Kondwani Masiye 24 Sep '05

24 Sep '05

Hie all, I am new to both Dovecot and this list. I am trying to set up a Dovecot and Sendmail mail server with OpenLDAP user database for authentication. The sendmail setup is working fine, but authentication for Dovemail is not working. When I try to authenticate using POP3, I get an "authentication failed" error, and the logs show the following: Sep 19 16:53:21 tempo slapd[6316]: conn=74 op=2 SRCH base="dc=domain,dc=net" scope=2 deref=0 filter="(&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=kondie))" Sep 19 16:53:21 tempo slapd[6316]: conn=74 op=2 SRCH attr=uid userPassword Sep 19 16:53:21 tempo slapd[6316]: <= bdb_equality_candidates: (uid) index_param failed (18) Sep 19 16:53:21 tempo slapd[6316]: conn=74 op=2 SEARCH RESULT tag=101 err=0 nentries=1 text= Sep 19 16:53:21 tempo dovecot: auth(default): ldap(kondie,127.0.0.1): password mismatch Sep 19 16:53:25 tempo dovecot: pop3-login: Aborted login [127.0.0.1] Sep 19 16:53:25 tempo slapd[6313]: conn=72 fd=14 closed I know the password is correct because I am using the same LDAP database from a different server using UW Imap and it works. My dovecot-ldap.conf file below: hosts = localhost dn = cn=dovecot,dc=domain,dc=net ldap_version = 3 base = dc=domain,dc=net deref = never scope = subtree user_attrs = uid,homeDirectory user_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%u)) pass_attrs = uid,userPassword pass_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%u)) default_pass_scheme = CRYPT And the relevant parts (I think) from dovecot.conf file: I have googled all over and also the archives of this list for the last few months but I have not been able to work out what the problem is. As a matter of fact, I have tried to set it up the way it is described here: http://wiki.dovecot.org/moin.cgi/DovecotOpenLdap - but no luck. Could someone please assist in resolving this problem. Any pointers are welcome. Regards, Kondie Masiye -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

[Dovecot] Fatal: EOF reading environment from master
by Marcathian Alexander 24 Sep '05

24 Sep '05

I have been running dovecot as an imap server since 22nd July 2005. The server was started from xinetd using /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-auth The sever run successfully until the machine was shut down in a power outage on 12 Aug 2005. Dovecot has failed to start since the reboot. When starting it with the imap-auth it gives the following error: fatal: EOF reading environment from master I have uninstalled dovecot, downloaded, compiled, and installed the stable of 14Aug 2005 and got the same error. I then installed the 0.99.14 version ang got the same error. Can i have assistance in solving and/or diagnosing the problem? -- Marcathian Alexander SDE Assistant Sustainable Development and Environment Section Ministry of Physical Development, Environment & Housing Open Source Software Evaluation Project - WebMail/Groupware/Collaboaration [Open WebMail Project (http://openwebmail.org)
