Note: forwarded message attached. In addition to what I've already posted, the output from gdb when I try to use mutt is: Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted. 0x18234dcf in kill () from /lib/libc.so.5 And then it dies. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

[Dovecot] istream-limit.c - assertion failed
by Mail Admin 14 Jan '05

14 Jan '05

dovecot: Jan 14 12:25:49 Error: IMAP(xxxuser): file istream-limit.c: line 85 (_seek): assertion failed: (v_offset <= lstream->v_size) That error message is generated when squirrelmail 1.4.4-rc1 attempts to access this peculiar message partially quoted below. It doesn't happen (after copying the message to our testing account) accessing it through squirrelmail now. But it did. The server is running test61 configured --without-pop3d --with-ssl=openssl and --disable-ipv6 and running on FreeBSD 5.2.1. I'm not sure if this bit of a message is useful, but I have seen that error message in dovecot's log more than just this once.

RE: [Dovecot] Strange behavior of mysql 4.1.8/9 + dovecot1.0-test58~test61 on Fedora 3 x86_64 machine
by #LIU QI# 14 Jan '05

Some additional tests. I tried to add a test connection in the main.c under auth, which should be the main file of dovecot-auth. The test connection is done as the first statement in the int main() function. However, it still reports that the connection fails due to access denied. What should I do?? Any suggestions are welcomed. -----Original Message----- From: dovecot-bounces(a)dovecot.org [mailto:dovecot-bounces@dovecot.org] On Behalf Of #LIU QI# Sent: Friday, January 14, 2005 11:41 AM To: dovecot(a)dovecot.org Subject: [Dovecot] Strange behavior of mysql 4.1.8/9 + dovecot1.0-test58~test61 on Fedora 3 x86_64 machine I've built & configured the dovecot to use mysql as the passdb and userdb.

[Dovecot] base dn and filter strings are concatenated

Hello, When I set LDAP auth's search base dn, base dn and filter strings are concatenated. It cause filter cannot match any entries... I fixed it. Please check following patch. p.s.

[Dovecot] maildir and /var/spool/mail
by Steve Hickel 14 Jan '05

14 Jan '05

All, Not sure what to do next. Have imap working in that I can see messages in inbox. When I create a folder it won't create one. Looking at maillog shows that I don't have rights to folder /var/spool/mail/.sent or whatever folder I am trying to create. I have procmailrc and dovecot.conf point to /home/Maildir but for some reason something is tied to /var/spool/mail. Of course I am running FC3 and sendmail. Someone have any ideas as to what to try next? thanks in advance, Steve Hickel -- Steve Hickel <steve(a)korehicom.com> Kore/HiCom Corporation

[Dovecot] REQUEST: Different port(protocol) should be able to use a different certification.
by NAJIMA Hiroki 14 Jan '05

14 Jan '05

Hello, I want to use a different certificate for a different port(protocol). I searched http://wiki.dovecot.org/ and the mail archives. But such mechanism were not found. Could you implement a such mechanism? Or already implemented it, please teach how to do. I am assuming the following situations. MailAddress: [users](a)example.com SMTP Server: smtp.example.com POP3 Server: pop3.example.com IMAP Server: imap.example.com And pop3, imap, smtp are alias of real.example.com When use IMAPS, user connents imap.example.com POP3S, user connents pop3.example.com But one Certification file certificates only one FQDN. For example, dovecot.conf written that protocols = imaps pop3s ssl_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/imap.example.com.cert.pem ssl_key_file = /etc/ssl/private/imap.example.com.key.pem # imap.example.com.cert.pem's CN is imap.example.com In this pattern. MUA such as Thunderbird warn when connect pop3s because FQDN is different. I have an simple idea in this problem. dovecot.conf protocols = imaps pop3s - ssl_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/imap.example.com.cert.pem - ssl_key_file = /etc/ssl/private/imap.example.com.key.pem # certification for imaps + imaps_ssl_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/imap.example.com.cert.pem + imaps_ssl_key_file = /etc/ssl/private/imap.example.com.key.pem # certification for pop3s + pop3s_ssl_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/pop3.example.com.cert.pem + pop3s_ssl_key_file = /etc/ssl/private/pop3.example.com.key.pem Dovecot uses imaps_ssl_cert/key whenever MUA connects imaps port, uses pop3s_ssl_cert/key whenever MUA connected dovecot's pop3s port. Could you discuss it? #If it was already discussed, please show pointer(URL) that discussion. Regards. ----- NAJIMA Hiroki

[Dovecot] Virtual users vacation notices and forwards
by Del Stoliker 14 Jan '05

14 Jan '05

I'm in the process of moving from UW-IMAP to dovecot. I'm exploring the idea of using virtual users with dovecot and storing all user information in LDAP. While bouncing this idea off of a coworker, he asked me how we could handle vacation notices and forwards. Currently, we're using a procmail recipe to generate the vacation notice, and the sendmail .forward file for forwards (although most of our forwarding takes place elsewhere so the .forward file is rarely used). These are, of course, dependant on the user having an account on the mail server. How are those of you using virtual users supporting this functionality? Thanks!

[Dovecot] Upgraded and authentication fails with LDAP
by Ren Galskap 14 Jan '05

14 Jan '05

FreeBSD 5.2.1 Upgraded to dovecot 0.99.12.1 After authentication failed, I also upgraded OpenLDAP to 2.2.19 Dovecot and OpenLDAP are now the most recent versions in the ports. I can access the LDAP info through the OpenLDAP client without a problem, so slapd seems to be working fine. Both dovecot and OpenLDAP worked fine before the upgrade. Any help will be appreciated, since several people would like to have their e-mail back soon. maillog Jan 13 18:51:02 kongemord imap-login: Internal login failure: rjhjr [127.0.0.1] Jan 13 18:51:02 kongemord dovecot: child 1320 (auth) killed with signal 6 messages Jan 13 18:51:02 kongemord kernel: pid 1320 (dovecot-auth), uid 1006: exited on signal 6 debug.log Jan 13 18:51:02 kongemord slapd[1103]: conn=14 op=1 SRCH base="ou=imap,dc=krig,dc=net" scope=2 deref=0 filter="(&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=rjhjr))" Jan 13 18:51:02 kongemord slapd[1103]: conn=14 op=1 SRCH attr=uid userPassword Jan 13 18:51:02 kongemord slapd[1103]: conn=14 op=1 SEARCH RESULT tag=101 err=0 nentries=1 text= Jan 13 18:51:02 kongemord slapd[1103]: conn=14 fd=12 closed Jan 13 18:51:03 kongemord slapd[1103]: conn=15 fd=12 ACCEPT from IP=127.0.0.1:54 185 (IP=0.0.0.0:389) Jan 13 18:51:03 kongemord slapd[1103]: conn=15 op=0 BIND dn="cn=dovecot,ou=imap,dc=krig,dc=net" method=128 Jan 13 18:51:03 kongemord slapd[1103]: conn=15 op=0 BIND dn="cn=dovecot,ou=imap,dc=krig,dc=net" mech=SIMPLE ssf=0 Jan 13 18:51:03 kongemord slapd[1103]: conn=15 op=0 RESULT tag=97 err=0 text= dovecot-ldap.conf hosts = localhost dn = cn=dovecot,ou=imap,dc=krig,dc=net dnpass = <cleartext> ldap_version = 3 base = ou=imap, dc=krig, dc=net deref = never scope = subtree user_attrs = uid,homeDirectory,,,uidNumber,gidNumber user_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%u)) pass_attrs = uid,userPassword pass_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%u)) default_pass_scheme = CRYPT user_global_uid = 1003 user_global_gid = 6 dovecot.conf base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/ protocols = imap imap_listen = * ssl_disable = yes login_chroot = yes login = imap login_executable = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_user = dovecot verbose_proctitle = yes first_valid_uid = 1003 last_valid_uid = 1003 first_valid_gid = 6 last_valid_gid = 6 valid_chroot_dirs = /var/mail default_mail_env = maildir:/var/mail/%u/Maildir client_workarounds = oe6-fetch-no-newmail outlook-idle outlook-pop3-no-nuls mail_save_crlf = yes maildir_copy_with_hardlinks = yes imap_executable = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap auth = default auth_mechanisms = plain auth_userdb = ldap /usr/local/etc/dovecot-ldap.conf auth_passdb = ldap /usr/local/etc/dovecot-ldap.conf auth_executable = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-auth auth_user = dovecot-auth auth_verbose = yes I had the following flags in the Makefile prior to make: --without-shadow --localstatedir=/var --with-ldap __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
