auth with entire email addr instead of just username
by Cliff Hayes 03 Oct '14

03 Oct '14

I am trying to configure a new IMAP based mail server. I thought I had everything correct. I have dovecot logging turned up and see that dovecot is processing the entire email address as the username like this... Oct 2 14:52:20 servername dovecot: auth: Debug: pam(testuser(a)domain.com,1.2.3.4): lookup service=dovecot ... and of course pam is reporting that as an invalid user. Moments ago when all was mbox, authentication worked fine. I can see Thunderbird has the username correct (no domain). What is tacking on the domain and how do I fix? Thanks in advance.

two dovecot instances
by jjhoffart 02 Oct '14

02 Oct '14

Hello, I am currently trying to setup two invocations of dovecot to run on a debian based server. One for director and the other a stock debian instance. The issue I am having is when I go to start the director instance, I receive multiple errors telling me that the listening ports are already in use. I have change these ports in the 10-master.conf file but am still presented with the same errors when starting the second instance. Is this the only file in which the ports need to be changed (10-master.conf) or is there another file in which the ports need to be set?

Steffen, My problem was exactly what you said, the quota field in my query. I fixed it and now is working very well. Thank you very much.

Simply mysql quota check
by Alfredo Saldanha 02 Oct '14

02 Oct '14

Hi there, I'm setting up a new email server with Dovecot(2.2.9) and MySQL. My Dovecot configuration: #/etc/dovecot/conf.d/90-quota.conf service quota-warning { executable = script /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh user = dovecot unix_listener quota-warning { user = vmail } } plugin { quota = maildir:User quota quota_warning = storage=95%% quota-warning 95 %u@%d quota_warning2 = storage=80%% quota-warning 80 %u@%d args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext } #/etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext password_query = \ SELECT username AS user, value AS password \ FROM mailboxes WHERE username = '%n@%d' user_query = \ SELECT username, domain, \ CONCAT('*:storage=', SUBSTRING_INDEX(quota, 'm', 1)*1048576) AS userdb_quota_rule \ FROM mailboxes, domains WHERE mailboxes.username = '%n@%d' \ AND domains.domain = '%d' My idea is when a message is delivered, the dovecot to check quota in the mysql according to the value received in the "user_query" but he does not. It shows a value of 2GB that I don't know where it gets. I execute a manual query in mysql to know the quota my test user and checked that are 5GB, but when I see the dovecot, it shows 2G. SELECT username, domain, CONCAT('*:bytes=', SUBSTRING_INDEX(quota, 'm', 1)*1048576) AS userdb_quota_rule FROM mailboxes, domains WHERE mailboxes.username = 'junix(a)domain.com' AND domains.domain = 'domain.com' +-------------------+----------------+--------------------+ | username | domain | userdb_quota_rule | +-------------------+----------------+--------------------+ | junix(a)domain.com | domain.com | *:bytes=5242880000 | +-------------------+----------------+--------------------+ $ sudo doveadm quota get -u junix Quota name Type Value Limit % User quota STORAGE 10 2097152 0 User quota MESSAGE 1 - How would the setting to simply verify the quota of users as userdb_quota_rule this query? BR, Alfredo Jr.

you almost certainly have a missing closing bracket or double quote somewhere.

Master user and invalid credentials dovecot-2.2.13
by Götz Reinicke - IT Koordinator 30 Sep '14

30 Sep '14

Hi, I followed the docs from the dovecot wiki (http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/MasterUsers) and still have some problem: 1. uncommented "!include auth-ldap.conf.ext" in 10-auth.conf 2. htpasswd -b -c -s .... to create user/password for a masteruseruser 3. checked auth-master.conf.ext When I try to test the login, I always get an "invalid credentials" in the logs with auth_debug=yes set. dovecot can read /etc/dovecot/master-users The users are in ldap. The example wiki shows the passwords {SHA1}...., in my password file they are {SHA}.... The "master user" posting in september gave some clues what might be wrong, but did not help to solve my problem. Any suggestions are welcome! Thanks and regards.

No AUTH PLAIN with dovecot 2.0.19
by Michael Wechner 30 Sep '14

30 Sep '14

Hi I have installed the package dovecot-postfix on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS: dovecot --version: 2.0.19 postconf -d | grep version: 2.9.6 and receiving email works very fine, but relaying email does not work. I think the problem is that after STARTTLS the authentication is not being executed 250-AUTH PLAIN 250-AUTH=PLAIN which means using telnet returns telnet mx2.wyona.com 587 Trying 50.116.54.197... Connected to node3.wyona.com. Escape character is '^]'. 220 node3.members.linode.com ESMTP Postfix (Ubuntu) EHLO letscallitevil.com 250-node3.members.linode.com 250-PIPELINING 250-SIZE 10240000 250-VRFY 250-ETRN 250-STARTTLS 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES 250-8BITMIME 250 DSN So far I have used dovecot version 1.2.9, which works very fine, but the configuration /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf seems to be very different in the case of dovecot version 2.0.19. I have checked all kind of tutorials for several days now, like for example https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/postfix.html but nothing helped. Any pointers or help is very much appreciated. Thanks Michael

"doveadm sync/backup" should show some kind of progress meter

Using "-v" with those commands doesn't nothing, aparently. Using "-D" shows complex debug info only useful for debugging. But this comands take a lot of time and should show some kind of progress meter/feedback like network speed, percent, ETA, etc. -- Jesús Cea Avión _/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/_/ jcea(a)jcea.es - http://www.jcea.es/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ Twitter: @jcea _/_/ _/_/ _/_/_/_/_/ jabber / xmpp:jcea@jabber.org _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "Things are not so easy" _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "My name is Dump, Core Dump" _/_/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "El amor es poner tu felicidad en la felicidad de otro" - Leibniz
