OS X 10.6 Server - Dovecot Issue
by Ian Baker 25 Aug '14

25 Aug '14

I've just taken over support for an OS X Server (v10.6.8) box, and am a bit new at Postfix & Dovecot. We're having an problem where, intermittently, dovecot seems to be bouncing messages inbound for some of my existing users. Here is the mail.log entry for a successful delivery: Aug 21 16:58:45 mail postfix/pipe[64094]: D68783AE0F75: to=<sblondin(a)eem.ca>, relay=dovecot, delay=0.08, delays=0/0.01/0/0.07, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered via dovecot service) And here is what a bounce looks like Aug 22 07:29:28 mail postfix/local[93916]: error: od[getpwnam_ext]: No record for user sblondin Aug 22 07:29:28 mail postfix/pipe[93944]: 852C43AE7ACC: to=<sblondin(a)eem.ca>, relay=dovecot, delay=15, delays=0.14/0.05/0/15, dsn=5.1.1, status=bounced (user unknown) And a bit later another succcessful delivery. Aug 22 07:56:37 mail postfix/pipe[95021]: 14AF73AE82F0: to=<sblondin(a)eem.ca>, relay=dovecot, delay=0.5, delays=0.08/0.02/0/0.4, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered via dovecot service) No changes to this user's account were made during this time period. I'm flummoxed. Anythoughts as to what might be going on here, and/or how to debug this further? Thanks in advance...

dict SQL : HA / RR load-balancing ?
by Florent Bautista 25 Aug '14

25 Aug '14

Hi everyone, I am using Dovecot 2.2 with dict SQL. My config is using : connect = host=10.111.5.1X host=10.111.5.1Y host=10.111.5.1Z dbname=mail user=quota_updater password=xxxxxxxx But when an SQL server is down, I have these messages in logs : dict: Error: mysql(10.111.5.1Y): Connect failed to database (mail): Can't connect to MySQL server on '10.111.5.1Y' (111) - waiting for 125 seconds before retry Does Dovecot support HA / RR load-balancing in dict SQL, as in passdb/userdb ? Thank you.

does dovecot assume ~ = /home/userid ?
by Per Jessen 22 Aug '14

22 Aug '14

See $SUBJ - or is there a setting somewhere to control this? I have a userid = user(a)example.com with homedir (from /etc/shadow) = /home/example.com/user, but when dovecot wants to find e.g. ~/.dovecot.sieve , it looks in /home/user(a)example.com .... Doing "su - user(a)example.com" puts me in the correct directory. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (22.3°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland.

Dovecot authentication LDAP SSL-TLS againts SAMBA4
by Lista de Dovecot 22 Aug '14

22 Aug '14

Hi, i would like to know if anybody have implemented the authentication of dovecot against samba4 via secure ldap (SSL/TLS). I made it but in plain text through dovecot´s offical page: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/LDAP/AuthBinds http://wiki2.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/LDAP But when i try to do it in a secure way i can´t make it work. Samba4 is listening by port 636 and dovecot is speaking by 389 or 636, but they can´t comunicate themself. I´m wondering if any of you have done this before or have any clue that might help me. Thanks.

Avoid "451 4.4.0 Remote server not answering (timeout while waiting for reply to DATA reply)"
by Florent Bautista 22 Aug '14

22 Aug '14

Hi all, I have a Dovecot setup (2.1, I will switch to 2.2 soon) with one Director and 2 backend servers. When my MX server (Postfix) tries to deliver mail to Dovecot via LMTP, it often gets an error "451 4.4.0 Remote server not answering (timeout while waiting for reply to DATA reply)" from the Director. Service LMTP is configured with "client_limit = 1" on Director en backends (others limits are default ones). Postfix is using "lmtp_destination_recipient_limit = 1" and "lmtp_destination_concurrency_limit = 1". I want that incoming messages are stored one after one per recipient (have a queue per recipient). I does not seem to be done actually. I think Postfix is sending too many messages at a time to Director. How do you do to handle that ? I already applied the 3 patches available on the list for 2.1, but it does not seem to solve my problem... Thank you a lot. Florent

Folders don't show up
by Christian Hudon 22 Aug '14

22 Aug '14

Hello, I've upgraded to the new LTS version of Ubuntu. With that comes a new dovecot version. I think I've migrated my dovecot configuration correctly to the new version. Everything works, except that the mailboxes don't show up in the list of mailboxes in my mail clients. Trying to issue a LIST command, I see the following: CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN] Dovecot (Ubuntu) ready. 1 login USERNAME_HERE PASSWORD_HERE 1 OK [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 SPECIAL-USE BINARY MOVE] Logged in 2 LIST "" "*" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) " * LIST (\HasNoChildren) " [SNIP...

I'm not an IMAP protocol expert, but those answers to the list command don't quite look like valid IMAP to me. My imapdir has a bunch of maildir directories in it, like a normal imapdir should. Everything worked fine with the previous version of dovecot (1.2?). Maybe a dovecot bug? At least I don't see how my config could cause this. Any help would be appreciated.
