Proxying when src and dest on non standard ports
by Thomas HUMMEL 13 Jan '15

13 Jan '15

Hello, I want to test dovecot proxying, on a user basis, in a simple set up (proxy, no proxy_maybe and forward the passwd to the remote server). This seem pretty simple except that, in order to test it alongside the production server, I set up 3 servers : . the proxy, listening to pop and imap on non standard ports 9143, 9993, 9110, 9995 . a proxy destination for some users, listening on 10143, 10993, 109110, 10995 . another proxy destination for some other users, listening on 20145, 20993, 209110, 20995 But there seems to be only one 'port' extra_field, so how can I handle the proxying of both IMAP and POP3 (especially for the same user who can use both) ? Thanks. -- Thomas Hummel | Institut Pasteur <hummel(a)pasteur.fr> | Groupe Exploitation et Infrastructure

Moving or "upgrading" from MD5 to SSHA512
by Jyri Hovila [Turvamies.fi] 13 Jan '15

13 Jan '15

Hello, world! I have a long-running Dovecot & Postfix installation using PostgreSQL back-end. Until now I've been using MD5 hashing but would like to "upgrade" to the salted SSHA512. Is there a way to configure Dovecot so that it would automatically detect the type of the hash stored in the database, so that users who have changed their password (and thus being hashed with SHA512) and users still having an MD5 hash would both be able to authenticate at the same time? Yours, Jyri -- +358-50-5632104 (24/7) +358-46-8822157 (backup) jyri.hovila(a)turvamies.fi

[PATCH] Make Delivered-To optional
by Nagy, Attila 13 Jan '15

13 Jan '15

Hi, I've read at least one e-mail on this list about making delivered-to in lmtpd optional, but now I need this too, so I made a patch. The default remains as is now (enabled). Rationale: I would like to dsync users and I have catchall POP mailboxes (meaning: a single mailbox gets the mails for a lot of e-mail addresses). If I deliver the e-mails to Dovecot's lmtpd as the original RCPT TO, the Delivered-To header can be used for the POP client to sort the messages on their side to the correct mailbox, but because Dovecot sees this as a new user, it adds it to the replicator.db. Now imagine a single mailbox with thousands of e-mail addresses, this will make thousands of entries in replicator.db, all of which Dovecot would like to replicate independently... If I deliver to the mailbox uid, Dovecot dsync will work right (only one user will be added, no matter how many different e-mail addresses end up in this mailbox), but the Delivered-To will contain the uid, so the user can't use that to sort the messages into their final destination on their side. So the solution here is that I disable the addition of Delivered-To header in Dovecot (because it doesn't know what is the original address) and add it in an upper layer, so during the lmtp transaction, the message will already contain the right value. Currently Dovecot adds another Delivered-To line, which confuses the clients. Please add this feature to Dovecot. Thanks,

Re: Maildir permissions on creation?
by Von Random 13 Jan '15

13 Jan '15

Yes, and it is not my use case, sadly. ACLs are meant for imap, not filesystem access and mail_access_groups is also useless for some reason. It just does not change anything. Probably because I don't use mail_location and variables when I provide path for home. (It's stored as is in a database on mailbox creation.) 26.12.2014, 12:07, "Tobi" <tobster(a)brain-force.ch>: > Have you checked the dovecot wiki for 'filepermissions in shared mailboxes' ? > Explains how dovecot set ACL when creating mailboxes > > Am 26.

pigeonhole: upgrade 0.4.3 -> 0.4.6 broke script storage
by Petar Bogdanovic 12 Jan '15

12 Jan '15

Hi, I ran into some troubles while upgrading pigeonhole: crane dovecot: lda(petar): Error: sieve: Failed to access user storage (temporary failure) crane dovecot: lda(petar): Error: sieve: file storage: Could not find storage root directory; path was left unconfigured and autodetection failed After reading through the changelog, I noticed that there have been some changes in the script storage location syntax but that old prefix-less paths should still work fine. My lda-configuration is very simple: # lda protocol lda { mail_plugins = sieve postmaster_address = <snip> } plugin { sieve = /data/dovecot/user/%u.sieve sieve_extensions = +editheader sieve_max_redirects = 50 } And even if I change $sieve to: sieve = file:/data/dovecot/user/%u.sieve the error messages disappear but based on the sudden unfiltered wave of mails in my INBOX that I usually store somewhere else, I guess the path still doesn't work. Any ideas? Thanks, Petar Bogdanovic

Dovecot replication over TCP/SSL, certificate error

Hi All, I'm running TCP-based dsync replication on two dovecot nodes. Nowdays i tried to enable SSL (TCPS). I changed mail_replica prefix from tcp:* to tcps:* and added ssl=yes to the inet_listener. Then on running *doveadm sync* i'm getting the following message: " *doveadm(example(a)example.com <example(a)example.com>): Error: Couldn't initialize SSL context: Can't load CA certs from directory /etc/ssl/certs: error:02001024:system library:fopen:File name too longdoveadm: Error: Failed to iterate through some users*" this is my config (part): *ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/alpha-servers.pemssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/alpha-servers.keyssl_ca = </etc/ssl/certs/startcom-ca-bundle.pemssl_client_ca_dir = /etc/ssl/certsssl_client_ca_file = </etc/ssl/certs/startcom-ca.pemssl_protocols = !SSLv2 !SSLv3* The file startcom-ba-bundle contains the complete chain. The file startcom-ca contains only the ca certificate. Can anybody help, please? -- with kind regards, Jonas

Dovecot on Fedora 20 or 21
by David Mehler 10 Jan '15

10 Jan '15

Hello, Is anyone running Dovecot on either a Fedora 20 or 21 system? I'm having an issue, on a system reboot, which I admit does not happen often, Dovecot fails to start in the systemctl list, output is status failed. The issue seems to be Dovecot can not bind to the ipv6 address. Now later if I manually log in to the box and start dovecot it works just fine no problems. I've googled and seen similar issues to this. Does anyone have a solution? Thanks. Dave.
