[Dovecot] Send and Bounced mail not appearing, depending on mail client
by Dominique 05 Mar '14

05 Mar '14

Hi, I just installed Dovecot2 on Ubuntu 12.04 server with postfix and postfixadmin. I am using virtual users and virutal domains. When using Thunderbird, Roundcubemail,iOS mail application on an iPad2 or Kmail n Android, all mail sent and bounce shows up. However, when using vTigerCRM to send mails, nothing shows up - anywhere. I know the mail are being send - as per the mail.log and the various postfix log lines. But none of that is being captured by Dovecot... What am I missing? Thanks for any hints you can provide.

This does not test what you want, which is trying to authenticate the master user, not the regular user. From what I remember of your config, you have another passdb which holds the credentials of your master user: you need to check that file to make sure the master user's password (hash) matches what you think the master password ought to be.

[Dovecot] Hidden virtual folder
by Moritz Augsburger 04 Mar '14

04 Mar '14

Hi, I wanted to create a virtual folder containing all unread messages and the threads they belong to, and this config works really fine: > dovecot.conf: namespace { type = private prefix = virtual/ separator = / location = virtual:~/Maildir/virtual:INDEX=MEMORY list = children subscriptions = no } > virtual/All/dovecot-virtual: * -Trash -Trash/* -Junk -Junk/* -Drafts -Drafts/* -virtual -virtual/* all > virtual/New/dovecot-virtual: virtual/All inthread refs or unseen recent The only problem I got is that scanning all files for the virtual/All mailbox takes too long, and I would like to keep them cached (no INDEX=MEMORY), so I thought I'll just put virtual/All inside a second virtual namespace. As it's a bad idea to open the All directory manually, I could also hide the complete namespace to the user. So I added the following to my config: namespace { type = private prefix = virtual-all/ separator = / location = virtual:~/Maildir/virtual-all/ hidden = yes list = no subscriptions = no } But sadly it didn't work, a directory virtual-all/ pops up inside my client (thunderbird/icedove). Is hidden=yes/list=no unsupported for virtual locations, or is it me misconfiguring dovecot? If it should matter, it's version 2.2.9, or more specific debian 1:2.2.9-1~bpo70+1. Thanks Moritz

A year ago, more or less, I was told "Dovecot is getting close to having native METADATA support." How's this going? Thanks.

[Dovecot] Error "Initializing mail storage ..." after upgrading to 2.2.10
by Götz Reinicke - IT Koordinator 04 Mar '14

04 Mar '14

Hi, I did the upgrade frpom 1.2.x to 2.2.10 and had some warnings/errors on a very few accounts/mailboxes. All of them where permission related and solved. Dovecot rocks again. But on one mailbox I do get an error: Error: user rechnnugseingang-animationsinstitut: Initialization failed: Initializing mail storage from mail_location setting failed Error: Invalid user settings. Refer to server log for more information. There is a homedirectory and the permissions are set like on all other accounts. The username is quite long (35 characters) but an other one with 34 is working fine. And before the upgrade there was no error. Thnaks for any help or hint. Regards .

[Dovecot] Dovecot, AD and authenticated binds...
by Jeroen Scheerder 03 Mar '14

03 Mar '14

I posted earlier with reports of less than stellar success in using Active Directory for dovecot authentication. My approach is to using the two-step approach of - obtaining the user DN by a search using an authenticated bind (using a service account) - then binding as that DN, and returning the relevant user attributes This hasn't been succesful. Dovecot's authentication process does perform the (first) authenticated bind successfully, it does obtain the right DN, than just sits there doing nothing as far as I can tell, and after a long delay concludes authentication failure - shortly before deciding to perform the bind with the user-supplied credentials, successfully. Source inspection has not resulted in a glorious eureka yet. So I thought, why not handle it myself? And I wrote a little script, using the checkpassword interface. I've enclosed it. The script is based on <http://wiki2.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/CheckPassword>, but somehow the userdb_uid and userdb_gid I've passed back in the "EXTRA" environment variable get lost along the way. It syslogs, and the syslogs show that the LDAP parts working as expected: Mar 3 14:49:09 <mail.info> ponyboy checkpassword: successful authenticated bind and DN(js) lookup Mar 3 14:49:09 <mail.info> ponyboy checkpassword: DN(js) is CN=Jeroen Scheerder,OU=Users,OU=Netherlands,OU=ON2IT,DC=office,DC=on2it,DC=net Mar 3 14:49:09 <mail.info> ponyboy checkpassword: js authenticated In dovecot's log, simultaneously, I see basically a successful login, except that the (user_)uid and (userdb_)gid work - unless I disable prefetch, and use a static userdb: Mar 03 14:49:04 auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/auth Mar 03 14:49:04 auth: Debug: Read auth token secret from /var/run/dovecot/auth-token-secret.dat Mar 03 14:49:04 auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=90856) Mar 03 14:49:09 auth: Debug: client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=imap secured session=+qFODbTzDgB/AAAB lip=127.0.0.1 rip=127.0.0.1 lport=143 rport=63246 resp=<hidden> Mar 03 14:49:09 auth: Debug: checkpassword(js,127.0.0.1,<+qFODbTzDgB/AAAB>): execute: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/checkpassword-on2it /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/checkpassword-reply Mar 03 14:49:09 auth: Debug: checkpassword(js,127.0.0.1,<+qFODbTzDgB/AAAB>): Received input: userdb_uid=143 userdb_gid=143 Mar 03 14:49:09 auth: Debug: checkpassword(js,127.0.0.1,<+qFODbTzDgB/AAAB>): exit_status=0 Mar 03 14:49:09 auth: Debug: client passdb out: OK 1 user=js Mar 03 14:49:09 auth: Debug: master in: REQUEST 4007395329 90856 1 29571963894e557ab643d2e51872ba55 session_pid=90899 request_auth_token Mar 03 14:49:09 auth: Debug: prefetch(js,127.0.0.1,<+qFODbTzDgB/AAAB>): success Mar 03 14:49:09 auth: Debug: master userdb out: USER 4007395329 js uid=143 gid=143 auth_token=e2d7c2463dd4c039010e904afb4ea45214cb7de5 Mar 03 14:49:09 imap-login: Info: Login: user=<js>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, mpid=90899, secured, session=<+qFODbTzDgB/AAAB> Mar 03 14:49:09 imap: Error: user js: Mail access for users with UID 143 not permitted (see first_valid_uid in config file, uid from userdb lookup).
