mail storage auto detection failed?
by Alef Veld 08 Jun '17

08 Jun '17

Hi everyone. Nice to meet you. I’m new to dovecot and i came across a problem it seems. I setup a new user called sales with useradd, and gave it a password. Although it has a home directory, i set login to /sbin/nologin. When logging into the pop server on port 110 (with telnet) i get this in the logs: dovecot: pop3-login: Login: user=<sales>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, mpid=12938, secured, session=<94SotWVRoAB/AAAB> Jun 7 21:49:24 www dovecot: pop3(sales): Error: user sales: Initialization failed: Namespace '': Mail storage autodetection failed with home=/home/sales Jun 7 21:49:24 www dovecot: pop3(sales): Error: Invalid user settings. Refer to server log for more information. Did i have to initialise the mailbox in the homedirectory? What did i forget. I didn't change anything to the default dovecot.conf, i just installed the package with yum install dovecot (so latest version). This error also shows up when logging into port 143. Thanks for your help. My dovecot -n output if that helps is : [ec2-user@www log]$ dovecot -n # 2.2.10: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 4.9.20-10.30.amzn1.x86_64 x86_64 mbox_write_locks = fcntl namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = prefix = } passdb { driver = pam } ssl = required ssl_cert = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem ssl_protocols = !SSLv2 !SSLv3 userdb { driver = passwd } Thanks a lot. -atv

Dovecot login is slow
by Mitocariu Emilian 08 Jun '17

Hi, I have an Ubuntu 16.04 server with dovecot 2.2.22 configured as an imap server with an LDAP backend for authentication. This is the output of "dovecot -n": # 2.2.22 (fe789d2): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.4.13 (7b14904) # OS: Linux 4.4.0-77-generic x86_64 Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS auth_debug_passwords = yes mail_gid = vmail mail_location = maildir:~/ mail_privileged_group = mail mail_uid = vmail namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext driver = ldap } protocols = imap lmtp service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { mode = 0666 } } service lmtp { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { group = postfix mode = 0600 user = postfix } } ssl_cert = </path/to/my/cert ssl_key = </path/to/my/key userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext default_fields = home=/var/mail/vmail/%n driver = ldap } The problem i'm having is that when i try to login it takes more than 10 seconds, making my webmail very slow. For testing i login to imap like this "openssl s_client -connect localhost:993" and sometimes i get this message "* OK Waiting for authentication master process to respond..". I saw at other people, one of the problem was because they didn't disabled pam authentication when using another backend (like ldap or sql), but i already did that. Does anyone know what could cause such long login times and how to fix it?

Anyway I attached my patch, please have a look. Thanks.

Which allowed services can be defined (imap, pop3, etc.)
by Malte Schmidt 08 Jun '17

08 Jun '17

Hello, I am using Dovecot with an LDAP-backend for authentication. According to the documentation at https://wiki.dovecot.org/Authentication/RestrictAccess with LDAP and "pass_filter" it is possible to filter allowed services for the user with: pass_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%u)(service=%s)) Thats pretty cool. Now, in the LDAP-settings I created corresponding fields (service) and added the allowed services to tthese fields (imap, pop3, etc.). After that change, certain services were not available to that user anymore. So it seems that more services are there and after explicitly setting the services which are allowed, the other, not mentioned services stop to work. Now two questions: Is there any documented, full-featured list of the services that can be added? Is it possible to "flip" that setting so its not allowing certain services but denying the ones that are added to the "service"-fields? Cheers

virtual isp address, local delivery
by Hugh Bragg 07 Jun '17

07 Jun '17

I'm trying to understand how to deliver mail to an address locally which is popped from my isps email account. I access and keep these emails backed up on dovecot and use postfix smtp to deliver mail. The problem is that while fetchmail uses dovecot lda directly, postfix can't include my isps domain in its $mydestination because I won't be able to send mail to other users in that domain. I want to be able to send mail to other users I'm popping for in that domain, or even send myself mail. Currently postfix just relays the mail to the isp and it returns through fetchmail, but I'd like to have it delivered locally and still be able to email my isp users that I don't pop. As far as I can tell, this can't be done because virtual users have to be in postfix $mydestination. Does someone have a better setup they can share or know how to do this? Hugh

doveadm sync SSL error when upgrading from 2.2.27 -> 2.2.29
by Pallissard, Matthew 07 Jun '17

07 Jun '17

I'm starting to see the following error from doveadm when upgrading from 2.2.27 to 2.2.29. > doveadm(ip.add.re.ss): Error: doveadm client disconnected before handshake: SSL_accept() failed: error:1417A0C1:SSL routines:tls_post_process_client_hello:no shared cipher I'm using a cert/key with the following curve. ASN1 OID: prime256v1 NIST CURVE: P-256 Downgrading to 2.2.27 resolves the issue. Does anyone know about this off the top of their head? If not I'll try to git-bisect 2.2.27->2.2.28 for any offending commits later on this week. -- Matt Pallissard
