Hi I am new to the mailing List, and was hoping to get some assistance migrating from an Old Cucipop + Sendmail server (running on a old Redhat v 7) to a new Dovecot setup. My new installation is Dovecot + Postfix. All is setup and working, however I want to trasnsfer the contents of the mailboxes from my old server to this new Dovecot setup. Please let me know what information will be required to transfer the mailboxes - I have tried a number of things, but with no luck. I think the correct method is the one below, but I am getting UIDL errors and AUTH errors and not sure if this is the right approach ---- PLEASE HELP dsync -u <DOVECOT_USER> mirror mbox:~/mail:INBOX=<MAIL_BOX_COPIED_FROM_OLD_SERVER> ~# dsync -u hendrikv(a)tcmvpn.co.za mirror mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/User_mbox/hendrikv dsync(hendrikv(a)tcmvpn.co.za): Error: pop3c(196.26.136.162): AUTH PLAIN failed: -ERR Invalid command, try one of: USER name, PASS string, APOP name digest, QUIT dsync(hendrikv(a)tcmvpn.co.za): Error: pop3c: Disconnected from remote server dsync(hendrikv(a)tcmvpn.co.za): Error: pop3_migration: Couldn't sync mailbox POP3-MIGRATION-NS/INBOX: Internal error occurred.

How to make quota_status policy to apply to postfix virtual aliases as well?
by Hamy 04 Apr '16

04 Apr '16

HelloI am setting up a postfix+dovecot setup and using quota-status service to reject mails for full mailboxes on smtp session, according to this: https://sys4.de/en/blog/2013/04/08/postfix-dovecot-mailbox-quota/ This is working fine and without any apparent issues. however, Postfix doesn't seem to consult the policy when you're using virtual alias addresses. a virtual alias, is the one that you usually define with virtual_alias_maps . what happens is that Postfix only verifies there is a corresponding value for the given email address and blindly accept it. And it seems smtpd_recipient_restrictions , only applies to the original email address and postfix does not consult that after applying virtual alias. Does any one have any idea how to solve this? is there a setting that i'm missing? or is there a better way to setup email aliases that solve this issue? Best Regards,

Problem with GSSAPI
by Luca Bertoncello 03 Apr '16

03 Apr '16

Hi list! I'm really puzzled... I have a Mailserver with Dovecot 2.2.9 (installed from Ubuntu 14.04-Repositories) and it works well with LDAP-Authentication agains the Active Directory. Now I want to use GSSAPI to allow the clients (with Thunderbird 38.7.1) to read E-Mails without giving a password. I configured Dovecot using these HowTos: http://mindref.blogspot.de/2011/02/dovecot-kerberos.html http://wiki.dovecot.org/Authentication/Kerberos But it does not work... In mail.log I can just see: Apr 3 09:52:26 mail dovecot: auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/auth Apr 3 09:52:26 mail dovecot: auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/auth Apr 3 09:52:26 mail dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/auth/libmech_gssapi.so Apr 3 09:52:26 mail dovecot: auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/auth Apr 3 09:52:26 mail dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/auth/libauthdb_ldap.so Apr 3 09:52:26 mail dovecot: auth: Debug: Read auth token secret from /var/run/dovecot/auth-token-secret.dat Apr 3 09:52:26 mail dovecot: auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=2300) Apr 3 09:52:26 mail dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts in 0 secs): user=<>, rip=192.168.50.54, lip=192.168.50.3, session=<x8Sq5I8vsADAqDI2> and Thunderbird says that the Ticket was not accepted and I have to check if I'm logged into the Kerberos/GSSAPI subsystem. I checked with tcpdump and I see that Thunderbird does NOT send at all any request. Could someone help me? Thanks a lot! Luca Bertoncello (lucabert(a)lucabert.de)

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.

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.
