ACL group-override question
by Peter Chiochetti 23 Jun '14

23 Jun '14

Trying to get ACLs working, very basic setup: Virtual users are put into different acl_group via passdb. > u:{PLAIN}B::::::userdb_acl_groups=g The global acl file restricts what they can do. > * group-override=g > * group=g lr Shouldn't this mean, that the group rights override the user rights? The effect that I see though is, that the user "u" then may not do anything, not even lookup and read. The wiki text is not fully clear to me: It tells about disabling access fully (probably by specifying a non-existent group?). But this can only be one way to use group_override… -- peter

Dovecot authentication against active directory

Hello, i´ve got a problem with the dovecot authentication against active directory. I´m using dovecot 2.0.19 and windows server 2008 R2. When I try to login via telnet I get the following error message: a NO [AUTHENTICATIONFAILED] Authentication failed. My dovecot configuration: # 2.0.19: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.2.0-60-generic x86_64 Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS ext4 auth_mechanisms = plain login auth_username_format = %Lu disable_plaintext_auth = no first_valid_gid = 1001 first_valid_uid = 1001 last_valid_gid = 1001 last_valid_uid = 1001 log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log mail_location = maildir:/srv/mail/%u passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf driver = ldap } protocols = imap ssl = no syslog_facility = local7 userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf driver = ldap } valid_chroot_dirs = /srv/mail My dovecot-ldap.conf: hosts = ************** dn = CN=*****,OU=*****,OU=*****,OU=*****,DC=******,DC=*****,DC=de dnpass = **************** tls = no debug_level = -1 ldap_version = 2 base = OU=*****,DC=*****,DC=*****,DC=de deref = never scope = subtree user_attrs = sAMAccountName=home user_filter = (&(ObjectClass=user)(|(mail=%u)(sAMAccountName=%u))) pass_filter = (&(ObjectClass=user)(sAMAccountName=%u)) default_pass_scheme = plain could anybody help me with this problem?

ACL group vs. owner question
by Peter Chiochetti 23 Jun '14

23 Jun '14

A hopefully simple question regarding the use of ACLs - the spirit being of taking away most permissions first and then adding them back selectively: In the global ACL declaration I have: > * owner lr > * group=SYS lrwstipekxa The owner is put into the SYS group via userdb extra field in static passwd file ("archiv" is a system user, but pam is disabled for the server): > archiv:::::::userdb_acl_groups=SYS Still, the group permissions do not get applied: > root@host:/etc/dovecot# doveadm -D acl debug -u archiv INBOX > […] > doveadm(archiv): Debug: Added userdb setting: plugin/acl_groups=SYS > doveadm(archiv): Debug: Effective uid=1002, gid=1001, home=/home/archiv > doveadm(archiv): Debug: acl: No acl_shared_dict setting - shared mailbox listing is disabled > doveadm(archiv): Debug: Namespace inbox: type=private, prefix=, sep=, inbox=yes, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes location=maildir:~/Maildir > doveadm(archiv): Debug: maildir++: root=/home/archiv/Maildir, index=, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=/home/archiv/Maildir, alt= > doveadm(archiv): Debug: acl: initializing backend with data: vfile:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-acl > doveadm(archiv): Debug: acl: acl username = archiv > doveadm(archiv): Debug: acl: owner = 1 > doveadm(archiv): Debug: acl vfile: Global ACL file: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-acl > doveadm(archiv): Info: Mailbox 'INBOX' is in namespace '' > doveadm(archiv): Info: Mailbox path: /home/archiv/Maildir > doveadm(archiv): Info: All message flags are shared across users in mailbox > doveadm(archiv): Debug: acl vfile: file /home/archiv/Maildir/dovecot-acl not found > doveadm(archiv): Info: User archiv has rights: lookup read > doveadm(archiv): Info: Mailbox in user's private namespace > doveadm(archiv): Info: Mailbox INBOX is visible in LIST My question: Shouldn't this work? (In a stock setup.) PS: when I add "* group-override=SYS" to /etc/dovecot/dovecot-acl the user will not even be able to list INBOX. PPS: As an aside, the setup also switches any sytem or /virtual/ users during login in local.conf: > userdb { > driver = static > args = uid=archiv gid=archiv home=/home/archiv user=archiv > } but I get the above result without that switching when I make it read: > userdb { > driver = static > args = home=/home/archiv > } So I suppose that it's not relevant in this case… Thank you in advance -- peter

Setting mail_attach_dir for destination on dsync
by Laeeth Isharc 23 Jun '14

23 Jun '14

Hi. What is the best way to do this, please ? I can override with -o but this applies to source as I read the docs. So I wish to do something like this dsync mirror -u myuser(a)me.com mdbox:/home/mail/myuser/mdboxcopy With either of: 1) attachments stored within message so mail_attachment_dir for dest being blank Or 2) attachments stored in a sub directory of mdboxcopy eg mdboxcopy/attach/ Timo hints that this is possible, but I cannot see how to do this, Any ideas ?

config best practice
by Egbert 20 Jun '14

20 Jun '14

Hi! We will soon start upgrading our Ubuntu mail server (running 2.0.19) from 12.04.1 LTSto 14.04 LTS. The dovecot config is still pretty much in 1.x style; one flat file called dovecot.conf. I can easily switch to a dovecot.conf with the "!include" lines and rename my flat config file to local.conf. I've tested that and it works fine. I could also try to move all lines in local.conf to the different XX-.conf files in the conf.d subdir. What is wise and best practice? Should one edit the files in conf.d? Or will the files in conf.d be overwritten on an update of dovecot? Then I'll better stick to the way of working with the dovecot.conf with the !includes and local.conf and assume that all files in conf.d are default settings. TNX for any advise!

Sis attachment deduplication
by Laeeth Isharc 20 Jun '14

20 Jun '14

Hi. Two questions: 1. Is this now reasonably stable for large mailboxes (c 2mm messages)? 2. Will this leave the filename in the message body unchanged? So for example if I have the same attachment called proposalfromvendor.pdf and proposaltoclient.pdf in two different emails, will the original names be kept ? Or will it replace the filename with some kind of numeric hash ? Many thanks. Laeeth Sent from my iPad

IMAP Chunking Thunderbird
by MrLINK 20 Jun '14

20 Jun '14

Hi, using dovecot-2.0.9-7.el6.x86_64 on CentOS release 6.5 (Final) I have an issue with thunderbird imap chunking. Some attachments are corrupted, because Thunderbird is just storing the first chunk. Since there are some workarounds by editing the "mail.imap.fetch_by_chunks" via about:config this is not the best choice for me because every client has to be edited. Is there a way to set a central value on the dovecot server (i.e disable chunking since this is not a client behaviour only)? Thanks in advance!
