Found 4 bugs in latest SquirrelMail related to IMAP and SMTP STARTTLS, Dovecot capabilities
by Tobias 03 Apr '16

03 Apr '16

This is a cross-post from the squirrelmail-devel list. It may be of interest if you want to run SquirrelMail and connect to Dovecot (and Postfix, possibly other servers) on a remote host using STARTTLS. BR Tobias -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [SM-DEVEL] 4 bugs, IMAP and SMTP STARTTLS, Dovecot capabilities Date: Sun, 3 Apr 2016 04:27:56 +0200 From: Tobias <lists.zxinn(a)otaking.se> Reply-To: Squirrelmail Developers Mailing List <squirrelmail-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net> To: squirrelmail-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net Hello! I've looked for and have not seen any similar issues reported related to STARTTLS. Sourceforge wouldn't let me create an account or else I could have submitted bug reports directly. I'm using SquirrelMail 1.4.23 installed from latest FreeBSD Ports, together with PHP 5.6. I'm attempting to connect using STARTTLS to Dovecot 2.2.22 and Postfix 3.1.0. I've verified the code is not fixed for any of these four issues in the latest 1.5.2 SVN. Issue 2 is not as much of a problem in 1.5.2 as it is in 1.4.23 when using 'login' authentication. I connect to the IMAP and SMTP servers using their IP, but need to override the 'peer_name' to validate the certificate properly. New in PHP 5.6 is also that verify_peer defaults to TRUE, which means I need to either be able to set the peer_name, or disable verify_peer. I've found three issues in functions/imap_general.php, related to STARTTLS and Dovecot IMAP server, as well as one STARTTLS issue in class/deliver/Deliver_SMTP.class.php, class class Deliver_SMTP, function initStream. Issue 1: Stream options ($imap_stream_options) are not used with STARTTLS ($use_imap_tls = 2) in function sqimap_create_stream. The stream options are only used for $use_imap_tls = 1. How to fix: Add something like this: // set context options to allow for SSL option overrides @stream_context_set_option($imap_stream,$stream_options); Before trying to initiate the TLS session here: functions/imap_general.php :: function sqimap_create_stream 826: // start crypto on connection. suppress function errors. 827: if (@stream_socket_enable_crypto($imap_stream,true,STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_TLS_CLIENT)) { Issue 2: IMAP capabilities are only read once in function sqimap_create_stream (and subsequently used in sqimap_login to determine certain login options), however the capability list for Dovecot is not the same before and after STARTTLS. From Dovecot, before STARTTLS (telnet <local-ip> 143): * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE STARTTLS LOGINDISABLED] Dovecot ready. From Dovecot, after successful STARTTLS (openssl s_client -starttls imap -connect <local-ip>:143): <SSL session info> --- . OK Pre-login capabilities listed, post-login capabilities have more. a capability * CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE AUTH=PLAIN a OK Pre-login capabilities listed, post-login capabilities have more. How to fix: Issue "capability" command after successful STARTTLS to re-read the capabilities. Either as part of function sqimap_create_stream, or after call to sqimap_create_stream and before login options are checked in function sqimap_login. SquirrelMail 1.4.23 uses the return value with capabilities from function sqimap_create_stream to determine if 'login' is a viable option. Dovecot reports LOGINDISABLED prior to STARTTLS. (1.5.2 does not have this check for 'login'.) Issue 3: Multi-line response from the server to the AUTHENTICATE PLAIN (and likely cram/digest md5, possibly even login) are not accepted. The IMAP protocol allows the server to prefix responses which are incomplete with "*", and Dovecot uses this to report capabilities after successful login, but this is not handled by SquirrelMail's sqimap_login function. SquirrelMail reports: Unknown error: IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE SORT SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT MULTIAPPEND URL-PARTIAL CATENATE UNSELECT CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE QRESYNC ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH LIST-STATUS BINARY MOVE SEARCH=FUZZY SPECIAL-USE QUOTA The full output from Dovecot is: * CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE SORT SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT MULTIAPPEND URL-PARTIAL CATENATE UNSELECT CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE QRESYNC ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH LIST-STATUS BINARY MOVE SEARCH=FUZZY SPECIAL-USE QUOTA A003 OK Logged in How to fix: Check if '*' is the first token in a response, and read another line from the stream. Possibly something similar to this: while (substr($read,0,1) == '*') { // OK so far.. $read = sqimap_fgets($imap_stream); } Issue 4: Identical to issue 1 but for SMTP. $use_smtp_tls = 2 and STARTTLS in class/deliver/Deliver_SMTP.class.php, class class Deliver_SMTP, function initStream, does not honor stream options.

Still muddling through with broken auth...
by Jason Pruim 03 Apr '16

Hey Everyone, I’m still muddling through my first install… Followed the tutorials on workaround.org <http://workaround.org/> which were very helpful! but don’t include much info if things don’t work 100%… and so far I haven’t been able to pin down where the error is. When I try: telnet localhost 143 this is what shows up in the maillot: Apr 2 21:06:57 ip-172-31-24-2 dovecot: auth: Fatal: Unknown database driver 'sql' Apr 2 21:06:57 ip-172-31-24-2 dovecot: master: Error: service(auth): command startup failed, throttling for 2 secs Apr 2 21:06:57 ip-172-31-24-2 dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Auth process broken (disconnected before auth was ready, waited 0 secs): user=<>, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured, session=<+lw34IYvVgB/AAAB> With the failed driver for the database, I tried mysql and sql both of which produce the same error… I have a few other issues but I think those are related farther upstream… Not being able to sign into round cube for webmail, because of it being unable to connect to the storage container… But I think that’s a round cube issue… I want to get postfix and dovecot playing nicely before I worry too much about things like webmail access… Here is my postconf -n: [ec2-user@ip-172-31-24-2 dovecot]$ postconf -n alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases command_directory = /usr/sbin config_directory = /etc/postfix daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix data_directory = /var/lib/postfix debug_peer_level = 2 html_directory = no inet_interfaces = localhost inet_protocols = all mail_owner = postfix mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq.postfix manpage_directory = /usr/share/man mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases.postfix queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.6.6/README_FILES sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.6.6/samples sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix setgid_group = postdrop unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550 virtual_mailbox_domains = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual_mailbox_domains virtual_mailbox_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual_mailbox_users virtual_transport = dovecot [ec2-user@ip-172-31-24-2 dovecot]$ What else can I provide?

Dovecot with LDAP/AD has problem with uid/gid

Hi list! I have a Server connected to an AD and I need to configure Dovecot to authenticate the users against the AD (with password and GSSAPI).

SIS deduplication fails to create intermediate directories and funny permissions
by Jesus Cea 01 Apr '16

01 Apr '16

I have configured my system to use SIS, sharing the same same storage for all users, and offline deduplication. I have this in my "root" cron: """ 53 1 * * * /usr/local/bin/doveadm purge -A 16 * * * * /usr/local/bin/doveadm sis deduplicate /home/dovecot/buzones/attachments /home/dovecot/buzones/attachments/queue """ Yes, it is launched as "root" but I would expect doveadm drop privileges as soon as possible. This is working great, but from time to time I get this error message: """ Your "cron" job on babylon5 /usr/local/bin/doveadm sis deduplicate /home/dovecot/buzones/attachments /home/dovecot/buzones/attachments/queue produced the following output: Error: mkdir(/home/dovecot/buzones/attachments/dc/62/hashes) failed: No such file or directory """ Looks like doveadm is trying to create the "hashes" directory but the parent "62" doesn't exits yet. If I create that directory by hand and set permissions correctly, everything (seems to) work. Talking about this, I see something strange wit the permissions. All files and directories in SIS are created with "dovemail" user and group EXCEPT the "hashes" directory inside the newly created directory. That is: When I get the error message, I have this: """ drwx------ 7 dovemail dovemail 7 Apr 1 13:28 . drwx------ 237 dovemail dovemail 237 Mar 24 20:09 .. drwx------ 3 dovemail dovemail 3 Feb 29 02:30 1d drwx------ 3 dovemail dovemail 3 Mar 9 01:53 7f drwx------ 3 dovemail dovemail 3 Feb 29 02:30 88 drwx------ 3 dovemail dovemail 3 Feb 29 02:30 8d """ I create the missing directory by hand and change permissions.

default namespace
by Nerijus Baliunas 01 Apr '16

01 Apr '16

Hello, With no namespace settings and dovecot 2.0.9 I get the following listing: a LIST "" "*" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "Trash" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "Sent" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX" a OK List completed. Then I add the namespaces: namespace inbox { separator = . prefix = inbox = yes hidden = no list = yes subscriptions = yes } namespace compat { separator = . prefix = INBOX. inbox = no hidden = yes list = no alias_for = } Then list output changes: a LIST "" "*" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "Trash" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "Sent" * LIST (\HasChildren) "." "INBOX" a OK List completed. INBOX now has \HasChildren, while before it had \HasNoChildren. How can I make it \HasNoChildren? Regards, Nerijus
