Converting mailboxes to UTF-8
by Артем Перекресний 27 Jul '16

27 Jul '16

Is any proven routine to migrate mailboxes from mUTF-7 to UTF-8 encoding? I've try to use doveadm list/mutf7/rename but have been stuck with nested inboxes. Say I have the next structure: INBOX INBOX.жыр INBOX.жыр.ядъ encoded for FS respectively as .INBOX .INBOX.&BDYESwRA- .INBOX.&BDYESwRA-.&BE8ENARK- When I've try to rename INBOX.жыр with doveadm mailbox rename -u me -s "INBOX.&BDYESwRA-" $(doveadm mailbox mutf7 -7 "INBOX.&BDYESwRA-") I've get the next: .INBOX .INBOX.жыр .INBOX.жыр.&BE8ENARK- Sure when I've try to rename .INBOX.жыр.&BE8ENARK- I've get a message that this is not a valid mUTF7-encoded string. So that is the question.

imap & pop3 using same mailbox with virtual plugin
by Michael Fox 26 Jul '16

26 Jul '16

This is a noobie question, so bear with me if it's not worded correctly: Primary Requirements: 1) I'd like to have two namespaces - one private/per-user, and one public (visible by all logged-in users). The public mailbox would be used to distribute information to all users. 2) I'd like both POP3 and IMAP users to see both namespaces. As I understand it, this requires the use of the virtual plugin to create a virtual namespace which would mix together the private and public namespaces into one mailbox. I have read: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Virtual https://sys4.de/de/blog/2013/02/11/dovecot-virtual-setup-mit-globaler-sieve- spamfilter-regel-fur-pop3-nutzer/ (via Google translation) I don't really understand the example MySQL code (too much "..." for me to follow) in the above web pages. As I understand it (and I could be very wrong), the solution relies on a MySQL query to determine which namespace should have inbox = yes -- the private namespace or the virtual namespace -- depending on if the user is an imap or pop3 user, respectively. Question 1: How would this be done on a user-by-user basis if the userdb is a passwd-file flat file? Would it be something like this? -- Userdb extra fields for IMAP User: userdb_namespace/inbox/inbox=yes -- Userdb extra fields for POP3 User: userdb_namespace/virtual/inbox=yes Question 2: If I want to allow any user to use either POP3 or IMAP, then could I do it this way? protocol imap { namespace inbox { inbox = yes } } protocol pop3 { namespace virtual { inbox = yes } } Thanks, Michael

Dovecot cannot find mailboxes
by C. Andrews Lavarre 25 Jul '16

25 Jul '16

Edgar, thank you for your help: I have solved gaining access from a client (Evolution) via IMAP to the server: I can refresh, add folders, and delete folders. But I am still confounded, as IMAP does not see any mailboxes. Neither we from the command line (telnet, openssl, login, select) nor the system can find the mailbox, despite following FindMailLocation: telnet, openssl, login, then b select inbox * 0 EXISTS * 0 RECENT and postfix fails with 2016-07-23T21:22:37.312039-04:00 lavarre postfix/error[17088]: A8DA2C1BB2: to=<andy(a)privustech.com>, orig_to=<andy>, relay But the mailboxes do exist in /var/mail/vhosts/privustech.com/andy and we point to them in /etc/dovecot/users. doveconf -n is attached. ----- Two issues are: 1. file permissions and ownership 2. virtual versus system users 1. It appears that having the correct ownership and permissions on various files is critical (of course), but those parameters must also be included in the interior of the /etc/dovecot/user. So if you change permissions you also must change that file. For example, you said: i also noticed your certificate chain is broken. http://wiki2.dovecot.org/testinstallation I worked through this link, thank you. Changing permissions for the directories /var/mail/* to root:mail ($UID:$GID = 1000:12) and then changing /etc/dovecot/users correspondingly to user(a)privustech.com :{plain}actualpassword: 1000:12 ::/var/mail/vhosts/privustech.com/user now allows a normal login. and we can create a new folder (e.g., work) and delete it. However, this is at variance with http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/SimpleVirtualInstall which says to set the ownership to vmail:vmail ($UID:$GID = 100: 5000). Doing so breaks dovecot. 2. The various links suggest that having virtual users is preferable to setting system users. The former do not require directories under /homebut they do require a directory in the mail system, which I have provided under /var/mail/vhosts. It also turns out that for virtual users you must include the domain (andy(a)privustech.com) Making that change allowed the success reported above. But despite that, we still cannot find the mailboxes on login. Any thoughts on how to have IMAP find the mailboxes (beyond FindMailLocation, which doesn't seem to work for me) would be most appreciated. Kind regards, Andy

postconf -n display error for "remote"?
by Michael Fox 24 Jul '16

24 Jul '16

Is this a bug? I configured the following: 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). Is there a way to tell for sure whether this is just a cosmetic issue or something that could cause a problem? Michael

Cannot connect to Dovecot IMAP or POP
by C. Andrews Lavarre 23 Jul '16

23 Jul '16

Hello all. Thank you for your service. Easy when you know how, but presently I do not. After literally months of research and experimentation we simply cannot log into our PAM / apache2 / postfix / dovecot pop3/imap STARTTLS email server with an ordinary email client, e.g., Evolution or Thunderbird. We can connect to the host server in a host of different ways (no pun intended)—http, https, ssh, vnc, telnet, openssl -sclient Similarly we can connect to postfix and dovecot in yet another number of ways—telnet, openssl -sclient—but cannot log in to the email server with a normal email client (either Evolution or Thunderbird) by either pop3 or imap. SSL certificates are in place, verified, and tested. Part of the problem is the many changes in all the involved operating systems and protocols (e.g., imaps and pop3s are deprecated, openSUSE has migrated to LEAP, etc.) so many of the docs from Google are no longer valid. Additionally, there simply are bugs: Leap 42.1 YAST does not work when it comes to setting up websites. Documented. But I digress. I'm sure it's something really simple, but it evades me. Research details below. Any help would be more than appreciated. Thanks in advance, Andy ======================= Configuration testing details ======================= System is: Linux openSUSE Leap 42.1 Dovecot --version 2.2.18, Postfix Version: 2.11.6-3.1 Apache2 Version: 2.4.16-9.1 Connections 1.

Reviewed doveconf -n: a. Note, there are no Dovecot users established other than user postfix group postfix service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { group = postfix user = postfix } } i. postfix has its own set of users, including andy, which works just fine within postfix. We can send mail and read mail in the mailbox. b. Authentication is performed by PAM: passdb { driver = pam } i. Examined PAM: A. The files /etc/pam.d/xxx, where xxx = dovecot, pop, imap, are all the same lavarre:~ # cat /etc/pam.d/xxx #%PAM-1.0 auth include common-auth account include common-account password include common-password session include common-session B. They do not resemble at all the form presented in http://wiki2.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase/PAM passdb { driver = pam args = %s } C. Add (B.) to see if that works: No change. Comment out the original (A.): No change. Restore it. c. SSL is required and apparently configured correctly (the less-than symbol '<'causes the succeeding file to be read into the variable): ssl = required ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_dh_parameters_length = 2048 ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem ssl_options = no_compression ssl_prefer_server_ciphers = yes userdb { driver = passwd } i. dovecot.pem, both cert and key, are installed in /etc/ssl as above and verified as a pair with openssl x509. And we point to them in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf as seen in the above. 6. Checked listening as it does not appear in doveconf -n: lavarre:~ # doveconf protocols listen protocols = imap pop3 lmtp listen = *, :: a. conf.d/10-master.conf ports for service xxx-login {inet_listener} are commented out. In fact, the entire file is commented out. Uncomment the listeners, restart. But no change. So undo.

Managesieve problem
by Joseph Mays 22 Jul '16

22 Jul '16

Trying to get either avelsieve or server side filters to work with managesieve. Managesieve is running but whenever avelsieve or the server settings backend try to talk to it the same thing happens. So I guess it's really a problem with something about managesieve at this point. I hit the Message Filters option, it takes a long time for it to come back, though it finally just times out and does nothing, and immediately when I click on the Message Filters link the following two messages appear in /var/log/dovecot.... 2016-07-18 17:03:02 managesieve-login: Error: auth: connect(login) in directory / failed: Permission denied (euid=108(<getpwuid() error>) egid=65534(<getgrgid() error>) missing +x perm: /, dir owned by 0:111 mode=0750) 2016-07-18 17:03:02 managesieve-login: Error: auth: connect(login) in directory / failed: Permission denied (euid=108(<getpwuid() error>) egid=65534(<getgrgid() error>) missing +x perm: /, dir owned by 0:111 mode=0750) Seems to be straightforwardly a permissions error on a directory, but I don't believe it's really the / directory, so which directory is it? Any insights on where to look would be appreciated.
