TLS Error and not working lmtp
by Jakob Schürz 13 Dec '17

13 Dec '17

Hi! I have some troubles with the virtual plugin. I run a self-compiled dovecot 2.2.33.2 from debian testing. I patched this version with the QRESYNC-Patch from a few weeks ago. But i always get an errormessage, when i try to open an email from a virtual mailbox. So i cloned the actual git-Repo and compiled dovecot and pigonehole-sieve. The problem with the virtual plugin seems gone away. But there are some other problems. I use ssl=required and with dovecot from debian TLS/SSL and STARTTLS works fine. With the selfcompiled from git, i get this error: dovecot[1284]: imap-login: Error: Failed to initialize SSL server context: Couldn't parse DH parameters: error:0906D06C:PEM routines:PEM_read_bio:no start line: Expecting: DH PARAMETERS: user=<>, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured, session=<D6bC4Rlg8ut/AAAB> The key and crt are exactly the same files as before. The second problem is, lmtp is not working. I use exactly the same config for the debians dovecot and dovecot from git. But in the gitversion the error in exim is: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dovecot/lmtp for dovecot_lmtp transport: Connection refused My config is: # dovecot -n # 2.3.devel (b1aac3a1d):

Recommended tool for migrating IMAP servers
by Davide Marchi 12 Dec '17

12 Dec '17

Hi Friends, I would like to ask you a suggestion: I need to migrate a imap server to a new one and then dismiss the old one. Reading from relative Dovecot documentation page (https://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration) more tools are shown: UW-IMAP's mailutil, imapsync, YippieMove and Larch. The each mail servers are Linux based, one of this (mine) is Dovecot. Based on your experience which of these tools would be preferable to use? Thank you very much Davide

Re: hosting emails at home

Hello Mike, Yes, I am using a static IP address, but in theory, you could use a dynamic one. Nothing technically would prevent email exchanges between two boxes, as long as the SPF records are up to date and the DKIM is properly setup. Unfortunately, some ISPs are simply blacklisting full range of private IP addresses just because they are not officials / commercials.

hosting emails at home
by André Rodier 12 Dec '17

12 Dec '17

Hello everyone, I have been using Postfix and Dovecot for my personal emails for years. After being tired of reinstalling my personal mail server many times, I am currently writing some Ansible scripts to do it automatically. I obviously checked the other projects, and did not found anything close to what I am looking for, so I am implementing it now. The final goal is to have a box that once online, would setup itself, by creating the certificates, the DKIM keys and update the appropriate DNS records. This is so far what I have achieved: - Automatic generation of certificates using LetsEncrypt - Automatic update of the domain entries: imap, smtp, webmail, etc. - Automatic generation of a DKIM keys - Automatic update of specific records (MX, SPF, DKIM, etc.) - LDAP server for user accounts, with or without system login. - Installation of Postfix, Dovecot and Roundcube Sending DKIM signed emails is working, and the IMAP server is configured as well, although basic. The postfix and dovecot configuration are not yet entirely finished. I am planing to add an anti spam system, and sieve, amongst other things. Although in development during my spare time, the system is normally robust and you should be able to run it multiple times without errors. If anyone is interested to use it, to have a look, or to take part, it is here: https://github.com/progmaticltd/homebox Kind regards, André Rodier.

iPhone no longer authenticating
by Mark Foley 11 Dec '17

11 Dec '17

I've switched a user to being an active directory user. That user's email client authorizes just fine with dovecot using GSSAPI. However, now his iPhone won't authorize. In the dovecot log file I get: Dec 01 14:27:28 auth: Debug: client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=imap secured session=q4n3W0xfggBiZj9s lip=98.102.63.107 rip=98.102.63.108 lport=993 rport=49538 resp=AG1wcmVzcwBEaW5va3JvbndhbGw0NQ== (previous base64 data may contain sensitive data) Dec 01 14:27:32 auth-worker(5988): Debug: shadow(mpress,98.102.xx.yyy): lookup Dec 01 14:27:32 auth-worker(5988): Info: shadow(mpress,98.102.xx.yyy): unknown user (given password: *******) Dec 01 14:27:34 auth: Debug: client passdb out: FAIL 1 user=mpress Dec 01 14:27:34 imap-login: Info: Aborted login (auth failed, 1 attempts in 6 secs): user=<mpress>, method=PLAIN, rip=98.102.xx.yyy, lip=98.102.63.107, TLS, session=<q4n3W0xfggBiZj9s> Dec 01 14:27:34 imap-login: Debug: SSL alert: close notify [98.102.xx.yyy] This same user will authenticate OK from his local domain workstation: Dec 01 14:28:52 auth: Debug: master userdb out: USER 1948516353 mpress system_groups_user=HPRS\mpress uid=10005gid=10000 home=/home/HPRS/mpress auth_token=ce3050035718ed0996af698400c4de1be453ec06 auth_user=mpress(a)HPRS.LOCAL Dec 01 14:28:52 imap-login: Info: Login: user=<mpress>, method=GSSAPI, rip=192.168.0.54, lip=192.168.0.2, mpid=9755, TLS, session=<6MT1YExftwDAqAA2> I'm pretty sure the reason has to do with Active Directory authenication locally, but of course his iPhone is not a member of the domain, and he is no longer in /etc/passwd/shadow.

Mail-crypt plugin clarification
by rje 11 Dec '17

11 Dec '17

I'm looking into ways to encrypt the stored email on my server. The idea is to make it impossible for my hosting provider (who has access to my VPS) to read the mail from the disk. So I'm looking into ways to do this, and I found the mail-crypt plugin for dovecot. Unfortunately I find the documentation very hard to understand. There is no clear description of what the goal and purpose of the plugin is, or how it works. Most of the documentation is very short and provides no explanation. So here are some questions - I will gladly help to update the documentation when some of these questions are answered :) If you cannot answer them all, please tell me what you know.. - It seems mail-cypt will transparently encrypt/decrypt mail - so it stores it on the server in encrypted form, but dovecot serves it unencrypted over IMAP. Is this correct? - It seems that mail-crypt needs both a private and a public key to work. Is this correct? - If mail-crypt has both private and public key in its configuration, does that not defeat the purpose of the whole thing? Anyone with access to the disk will be able to read everything? Regarding the settings: mail_crypt_global_private_key(_n) - Private key to decrypt files, you can specify many mail_crypt_global_public_key - Public key to use to encrypt files, you can specify one - How does this work? What does mail-crypt do when multiple private keys are specified? mail_crypt_private_key - Private key to decrypt user's master key, can be base64 encoded mail_crypt_private_password - Password to decrypt user's master key or environment private key - What is the relation between a users master key, and the private/public global keys above? What is an environment private key? TIA, and as I said above, I will help with updating the docs! -- Sent from: http://dovecot.2317879.n4.nabble.com/
