[Dovecot] Dovecot configuration with passwd-file
by Spectron International, Inc. 14 Jun '03

14 Jun '03

I have tried to configure dovecot to use passwd-file authentication and I havent been able to. I changed the following in the dovecot.conf file (I want to have all the mailboxes in one directory): default_mail_env = maildir:/opt/mail/%u auth_userdb = passwd-file /etc/passwd.imap auth_passdb = passwd-file /etc/passwd.imap auth_verbose = yes It gives me the following error (I hoped it would be more verbose than this): Internal login failure: f_rojas [192.168.10.4]. passwd.imap exists, the user and password are ok What am I missing?

[Dovecot] Debian and dovecot
by Spectron International, Inc. 14 Jun '03

14 Jun '03

I have Debian 3.0 (woody) and installed the dovecot packages and it works ok with the default configuration. I want to change the default configuration, is any of this possible? a) I don't want to create accounts for each user, can I have a mailboxes directory with the mailboxes of all the users? They are not many (10-15). b) The authentication right now is done through PAM, the pam.d/dovecot file is: auth required pam_unix_auth.so account required pam_unix_acct.so password required pam_unix_passwd.so session required pam_unix_session.so I want to authenticate against an SMB server, I added the following /etc/pam_smb.conf: SPECTRON-MSIM MAIN MAIN # documentation says I need 2 servers (only have one, is this ok) and changed the pam.d/dovecot to: auth required pam_smb_auth.so account required pam_smb_auth.so # there is no pam_smb_acct password required pam_smb_auth.so # there is no pam_smb_passwd session required pam_smb_auth.so # there is no pam_smb_session and it doesn't work. I obviously did something wrong, but don't know what, and I found nothing that could help me on google. I have samba installed and it works so It's PAM that I'm configuring incorrectly. Hope someone here can help me. Fawzib Rojas

[Dovecot] Quotas once again
by Mike Machado 14 Jun '03

14 Jun '03

Its been a while since I tried dovecot on my mail server where I have quota issues. I am using mbox file format. There still seems to be a quota problem. I have only /var with quotas and basedir is under /usr (not quotaed). default_mail_env = mbox:~/mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u. I tried with mbox_locks = dotlock fcntl (1st set of logs below) and with mbox_locks = fcntl (2nd set of logs) dotlock: Jun 12 17:02:49 newrook pop3(mike): open(/var/mail/mike.lock) failed: Disk quota exceeded Jun 12 17:02:49 newrook pop3(mike): file_lock_dotlock() failed with mbox file /var/mail/mike: Disk quota exceeded Jun 12 17:02:49 newrook pop3(mike): open(/var/mail/mike.lock) failed: Disk quota exceeded Jun 12 17:02:49 newrook pop3(mike): file_lock_dotlock() failed with mbox file /var/mail/mike: Disk quota exceeded Jun 12 17:02:49 newrook pop3: I/O leak: 0x8050930 (0) Jun 12 17:02:49 newrook pop3: I/O leak: 0x807baac (1) fcntl: Jun 12 16:45:32 newrook pop3-login: Login: mike [127.0.0.1] Jun 12 16:45:33 newrook pop3(mike): file_set_size() failed with mbox file /var/mail/mike: Disk quota exceeded Jun 12 16:45:33 newrook pop3(mike): file_set_size() failed with mbox file /var/mail/mike: Disk quota exceeded Jun 12 16:45:33 newrook pop3: I/O leak: 0x8073a2c (1) Jun 12 16:45:33 newrook pop3: I/O leak: 0x804a470 (0) I am using the latest CVS (as of 5 minutes ago). Wasn't this supposed to be working? Have I missed something? My sole goal is to allow people to delete mail when they are out of disk space. -- Mike Machado mike(a)innercite.com InnerCite Inc.

Re: [Dovecot] when/where to set MAIL env variable?

Andrew Basterfield wrote (in a msg I don't think made it to the list): > In dovecot.conf > > default_mail_env = maildir:~/Maildir Ah, silly me... default_mail_env = mbox:~/Mailbox works wonderfully, and is easier than trying to figure out where the MAIL environment variable actually comes into play. Thanks...

[Dovecot] when/where to set MAIL env variable?
by Mike Brown 12 Jun '03

12 Jun '03

I am trying to get dovecot to work on a system that uses qmail as its MTA. As is typical on such systems, the user's primary inbox is an mbox file called Mailbox, in their home directory. Global shell config files /etc/csh.cshrc and /etc/profile set the MAIL environment variable to ~/Mailbox for the users, which is enough to satisfy their interactive mail clients such as pine, mutt, and elm. The mail-storages.txt file in the dovecot docs seems to say that dovecot will not have a problem with this kind of setup. However, I can't figure out how to make it work. The MAIL variable is only set for users who are using shells like tcsh, bash, etc. The server apparently does not operate in a shell, so it is looking in some other location, perhaps /var/mail/$USER, so everyone's INBOX appears to be empty. It would help if mail-storages.txt, when referring to environment variables such as MAIL, would clarify *whose* environment variables are being referred to. Is it the environment of the user who built dovecot? Is it the environment of the user running the main dovecot process? Is it the environment of the user who is checking their mail / the user that dovecot runs setuid as? When and where do I set the MAIL variable so that dovecot will see it? Or is there some other problem? Any help appreciated...

[Dovecot] Help setting up SSL?
by Mike Matz 11 Jun '03

11 Jun '03

Hi, Sorry to bother, I don't know if this mailing list is the right place to look for help setting up dovecot.. Anyway I've got standard IMAP working fine, and I used mkcert.sh after editing the openssl config, and it seemed to work properly (I had to change some directories, I am using the FreeBSD 5.1-CURRENT port).. Anyway, when I try to connect using Outlook, here is what the log shows: (without the exact ip address shown, dont hax0r my windows machine!) imap-login: Jun 10 13:13:14 Warning: SSL_accept() failed: error:1408F455:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:decryption failed or bad record mac [12.106.77.x] imap-login: Jun 10 13:13:14 Warning: SSL_accept() syscall failed: EOF [12.106.77.x] imap-login: Jun 10 13:13:14 Panic: key not found from hash dovecot: Jun 10 13:13:14 Error: child 32935 (login) killed with signal 6 imap-login: Jun 10 13:13:14 Warning: SSL_accept() failed: error:1408F455:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:decryption failed or bad record mac [12.106.77.x] imap-login: Jun 10 13:13:14 Warning: SSL_accept() syscall failed: EOF [12.106.77.x] imap-login: Jun 10 13:13:14 Panic: key not found from hash dovecot: Jun 10 13:13:14 Error: child 32937 (login) killed with signal 6 so it says "decryption failed or bad record mac".. Does this mean I don't have my .pem files set up correctly? Or is there a problem with the OpenSSL libraries? I'd sure appreciate any help you could give me. Thanks, Mike

Hi all - I've added an ebuild for 0.99.9.1 to bugzilla: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22080 It includes the CR+LF patch. Should be trivial to update for .10 when it makes an appearance :-). Feel free to fix/improve this ebuild - I'm fairly new at them. Zach. -- Services & Support Bulletin Wireless | www.bulletinwireless.com This email is digitally signed | Key ID 0x3F9AA9A2
