doveconf -n display error for "remote"
by Michael Fox 15 Jul '16

15 Jul '16

Upon further testing, it seems that the issue below may only be a display bug in doveconf. In other words, the remote filter appears to work as configured, even though it is displayed with duplicate prefix length by doveconf. Is this sufficient information to report a bug or is there some other protocol? Michael ------------------------------------------- Dovecot --version: 2.2.9 I configured the following in local.conf: remote 192.168.7.128/27 { ssl = no } remote 192.168.7.0/24 { ssl = yes } But, when I run doveconf -n, I see: remote 192.168.7.0/24/24 { ssl = yes } remote 192.168.7.128/27/27 { ssl = no } Note the repeated network prefix length (/27/27 and /24/24).

controlling STARTTLS by IP address
by Michael Fox 15 Jul '16

15 Jul '16

On my POP3 server, I need to be able to control the use of STARTTLS by client IP address. Specifically: * Clients on certain internal subnets (e.g., 192.168.1.0/24) must not have the option to use TLS. If the client tries to use STARTTLS, the option should be rejected. This is to satisfy US FCC rules regarding the use of encryption over certain radio frequencies. * All other internal clients (e.g., 192.168.0.0/16, but not 192.168.1.0/24) should be able to use STARTTLS if they choose to. * All external clients (0.0.0.0/0) will be required to use TLS. Is there a way to control which clients are allowed to use STARTTLS according to the client's IP address? Thanks, Michael

authentication failed: Connection lost to authentication server
by Zhang Huangbin 15 Jul '16

Dear all, I got error "authentication failed: Connection lost to authentication server", i turned on debug mode in Postfix/Dovecot, but this is the error i can get. All other errors point to sasl auth failure, what does "connection lost to authentication server" means? How can i exactly know what the problem is and how to fix it? Here's my Dovecot/Postfix configuration, with Active Directory integration. - dovecot.conf: http://pastebin.com/7T05kvmH - dovecot-ldap.conf: http://pastebin.com/DtkAg01v - Postfix main.cf: http://pastebin.com/Z9Wihmvr Dovecot/Postfix and AD are running in the same network (192.168.10.X), no firewall between them. Thanks for your help. :)

"Error: nfs_flush_file_handle_cache_dir: rmdir(/inboxes)" log spikes
by Joseph Tam 14 Jul '16

14 Jul '16

I received a bunch of these log messages at a rate of a few thousand per hour for one of my users -- she may have max'd out her quota. The directory is a NFS directory containing mbox formatted INBOX's. Other than alleviating the space crunch, is there any particular action I need to take? Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

quota config - when is the warning messag send?
by Götz Reinicke - IT Koordinator 14 Jul '16

14 Jul '16

Hi, we run dovecot 2.2.24 and from what I see, quota management with warning message is configured currently with "noenforcing". Our individual quota limit is stored in the users ldap DN which is fetched as I see from the logs and by "doveadm quota get -u" I tried to trigger the warning mail by going over the limit on my account step by step and can see that values are counted with the command above and in thunderbird by showing the orange and than red warning symbol at the bottom for me. But the warning mail script is not triggert. How may I debug this? from 90-quota.conf: service quota-warning { executable = script /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh user = vmail # dovecot unix_listener quota-warning { user = vmail } } /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh is owned currently by vmail and executable by vmail. Thanks for feedback and suggestion . /Götz

Pigeonhole vs dovecot gssapi option
by Larry Rosenman 13 Jul '16

13 Jul '16

Stephan, Is there a reason you don't pick up the dovecot-config file to set additional libraries like the Kerberos libs? I'm the FreeBSD Ports Maintainer for pigeonhole, and a user filed a PR about missing the krb5 libs.

passdb {driver = shadow args = override_username=%variable}
by UNIX admin 12 Jul '16

12 Jul '16

Hello list I want to implement override_username = %variable for the "shadow" driver, so that the following works: passdb { driver = shadow args = override_username=%Ln } by "%variable", I mean "Variables" at http://wiki.dovecot.org/Variables. I've hacked up a solution with strtok(3C), but that's a hack and a possible security hole, and I'd rather not implement it. What I really want is to be able to leverage Dovecot's var_expand() call, which, looking at the code, appears to be the function responsible for %variable expansion and formatting. The relevant piece of code seems to be this excerpt in auth/passdb-shadow.c: static enum passdb_result shadow_lookup(struct auth_request *request, struct spwd **spw_r) { auth_request_log_debug(request, AUTH_SUBSYS_DB, "lookup"); *spw_r = getspnam(request->user); if (*spw_r == NULL) { auth_request_log_unknown_user(request, AUTH_SUBSYS_DB); return PASSDB_RESULT_USER_UNKNOWN; } when request->user contains 'user(a)domain.tld', I want the code to be able to process "override_username", determine that the format is %Ln so that request->user is lowercased, and everything after the "@" sign is stripped. Therefore, if this user happens to exist in the shadow file, authentication will succeed. Currently, the "shadow" driver only appears to support "args = blocking=no". Please advise.
