[Dovecot] Changing user specific configs one at a time using userdb text file to override defaults...
by Charles Marcus 17 Jan '14

17 Jan '14

Hi all, Ok, I'm now interested in testing converting users one at a time to mdbox+SIS, but want to make sure I understand how to do this. It appears the best way - for smaller installations at least - is to just use a simple text file userdb to override the defaults, then once all of the users have been converted, change the defaults and remove the userdb txt file overrides. So, would love to hear details from others who have done something like this. Thx! -- Best regards, Charles

[Dovecot] Getting more out of the %w variable.
by Julian PG 17 Jan '14

17 Jan '14

Hello Dovecot community, I have a backend database application that handles all system wide user authentication (from web to mail and more). Passwords are not stored in plain text. So I would like to support more than PLAIN. Perhaps at least CRAM-MD5 or DIGEST-MD5 for example. Even though connections over TLS are encouraged (and even enforced). Some MUA and users still think its a better idea than PLAIN (even sent over an encrypted session). I have a vague memory of getting some warnings with thunderbird in regards to the use of PLAIN. Of course the %w variable would have to include the challenge as well as the response. Or perhaps even a seperate variable for the challenge? Or course at the moment the %w variable is an empty string for anything other than PLAIN. This would make some users and MUAs happy (even though pointless over TLS - I agree). Your thoughts would be appreciated. Regards, Julian. -- Not time for sigs!

[Dovecot] Received: header showing 127.0.0.1 after switch to dovecot LDA?
by Charles Marcus 16 Jan '14

16 Jan '14

Hi all, I'm guessing this is correct behavior, but wanted to make sure... I noticed that for locally delivered messages (between 2 local users inside our domain, so they never leave the server), the first Received: header line content changed after I switched to the dovecot LDA. Before, using postfix/virtual for delivery, the header looked like this: Received: from [192.168.1.25] (client.example.com [192.168.1.25]) by smtp.example.com (Postfix) with ESMTPSA id 67E33A20542; Wed, 6 Jun 2012 10:55:55 -0400 (EDT) But now it looks like this: Received: from [127.0.0.1] (client.example.com.com [192.168.1.14]) by smtp.example.com (Postfix) with ESMTPSA id 4EEF7802AF325 for <me(a)example.com>; Wed, 15 Jan 2014 18:29:17 -0500 (EST) so, 2 questions... 1. Why does it show 127.0.0.1 instead of the client IP, and 2. Why did postfix/virtual include the "for <me(a)example.com>;" but the dovecot LDA doesn't? Thanks, -- Best regards, Charles

[Dovecot] Replication file sizes
by IT geek 31 16 Jan '14

Hi, I'm using Dovecot 2.2.9 to replicate my mailbox to a remote server. My mailbox on ServerA is 235Mb, but on ServerB it ends up being 358Mb. Does anyone know why this is? Shouldn't they be the same size? doveconf -n from ServerA: # 2.2.9: /usr/pkg/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: NetBSD 5.2 cobalt auth_mechanisms = plain login doveadm_password = secret doveadm_port = 12345 first_valid_uid = 1003 last_valid_uid = 1020 listen = 192.168.1.1 mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u mail_plugins = " notify replication" passdb { driver = passwd } plugin { mail_replica = tcp:serverb.test.com } protocols = imap service aggregator { fifo_listener replication-notify-fifo { mode = 0666 } unix_listener replication-notify { mode = 0600 } } service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } user = root } service doveadm { inet_listener { port = 12345 } } service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 0 } } service replicator { process_min_avail = 1 unix_listener replicator-doveadm { mode = 0600 } } ssl_cert = </etc/openssl/certs/servera.test.com.crt ssl_key = </etc/openssl/private/serverb.test.com.key userdb { driver = passwd } protocol lda { postmaster_address = postmaster(a)test.com

[Dovecot] mail-filter always results in corrupted indexes
by martijn.list 16 Jan '14

16 Jan '14

Hi, I'm experimenting with the mail-filter plugin but whenever I add anything to a message, it always results in an corrupted cache: from the logs: Dec 14 16:09:55 ciphermail-webmail dovecot: imap(martijn=djigzo.com(a)ciphermail.private): Error: Corrupted index cache file /var/vmail/martijn=djigzo.com(a)ciphermail.private/dovecot.index.cache: Broken physical size for mail UID 76 Dec 14 16:09:55 ciphermail-webmail dovecot: imap(martijn=djigzo.com(a)ciphermail.private): Error: read() failed: Invalid argument Dec 14 16:10:02 ciphermail-webmail dovecot: imap(martijn=djigzo.com(a)ciphermail.private): Error: Cached message size smaller than expected (773 < 777) Dec 14 16:10:02 ciphermail-webmail dovecot: imap(martijn=djigzo.com(a)ciphermail.private): Error: Maildir filename has wrong S value, renamed the file from /var/vmail/martijn=djigzo.com@ciphermail.private/cur/1387033802.M114583P9631.ciphermail-webmail,S=773,W=791:2, t A do-nothing filter that just sends the input to the output works but whenever I add something trivial to the message, the cache is always corrupted. I using Dovecot 2.2.9.1 (from the deb archives). I use the following trivial test to add some XXX chars and and later remove them. In mail-filter.sh I append some chars and in mail-filter-out I filter these chars out (this is just a test) cat > /tmp/dovecot-in.txt echo "XXX" >> /tmp/dovecot-in.txt cat /tmp/dovecot-in.txt mail-filter-out: cat > /tmp/dovecot-out.txt sed -i /XXX/d /tmp/dovecot-out.txt cat /tmp/dovecot-out.txt Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Kind regards, Martijn Brinkers

[Dovecot] EAGAIN in dict proxy
by Richard Platel 15 Jan '14

15 Jan '14

Hello, We’re using a custom program to manage quotas talking to dovecot via the dovecot dict proxy protocol over a unix socket: plugin { quota = dict:User quota::proxy:/var/run/auth_proxy_dovecot/quotasocket:quota } Dovecot gets slammed with quota requests periodically, seemingly because Thunderbird thought it would be a good idea to hardcode having a quota check at 45 seconds past the minute, and thus every Thunderbird client makes several GETQUOTAROOT requests simultaneously. This causes dovecot to make many client connections to the quota proxy, and many of them fail with EAGAIN. In the log we see: Jan 15 16:52:46 imap25 dovecot: imap(rplatel(a)tucows.com): Error: net_connect_unix(/var/run/auth_proxy_dovecot/quotasocket) failed: Resource temporarily unavailable And the client gets: * QUOTAROOT Spam "User quota"[0d][0a] * QUOTA "User quota" ()[0d][0a] * BAD Internal quota calculation error[0d][0a] 19 OK Getquotaroot completed.[0d][0a] Thunderbird transparently disconnects and reconnects at this point but obviously this is not ideal. Writing some toy programs, I found that even making a forked server with several processes doing nothing but accept()ing on the listening socket, with a high number for the listen queue, it’s easy to overwhelm it with simultaneous clients who then get EAGAIN. If the clients do indeed immediately try again, they are successful. (An INET listening socket does not seem to have this problem, incidentally) All of this is a long-winded way of saying that I believe in lib-dict/dict-client.c:client_dict_connect() the call to net_connect_unix should be a call to net_connect_unix_with_retries() with a small timeout. It would also be useful for us if an INET socket could be used.
