[Dovecot] Ring SYNC appears to have got lost, resending after upgrade
by Patrick Westenberg 20 Sep '13

20 Sep '13

Hi @all, on Saturday I upgraded two dovecot servers from squeeze to wheezy and dovecot from 2.1.x to 2.2.5 (compiled from sources). After the upgrade everything worked fine at first. On Sunday Morning I recognized these errors (they occured after a reload for logging purpose on midnight) on one server: director: Error: Ring SYNC appears to have got lost, resending After reloading/restarting both dovecot services the error occured on both servers. After some research I deleted some "zlib"-File which isn't needed anymore in dovecot 2.2.x and reinstalled dovecot. The error message disappeared. Today the error occured again (after the reload on midnight) and again on one node only until reloading/restarting the other node too. However, there is an additional error message: Sep 09 10:27:07 director: Error: Ring SYNC appears to have got lost, resending Sep 09 10:27:10 director: Panic: file login-connection.c: line 88 (login_host_callback): assertion failed: (strncmp(request->line, "OK\t", 3) == 0) Any ideas?

Since Dovecot now supports storing messages in s3 compatible storage (using obox) I was thinking about extending an object storage app I developed using node.js on top of Cassandra to implement the s3 API and see if that could breath some life into this concept. When time permits I suppose.

[Dovecot] passwd-file and MySQL
by Paolo 17 Sep '13

17 Sep '13

Speaking about multiple DB ... A my customer has a server (CentOS 6.x, dovecot 2.0.x, postfix, Squirrel+RoundCube with vacation and password plug-in), with about 3.000 users (about 200 different domains), all defined as system users and home as /home/mail/%user% The system works fine. Its only additional interest is authenticating users like user(a)domain.tld / password (maintaining also the current user.domain / password). Is it possible and How complex configuring a similar environment? Only matter of sync /etc/shadow and DB or other problems? Regards, Paolo

[Dovecot] both passwd-file and MySQL
by Andreas Meyer 16 Sep '13

16 Sep '13

Hello all! Wondering if it is possible to use a flat passwd-file for some domains and for some other a MySQL-database for queries? All of our domains are handled by passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/passwd driver = passwd-file } userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/passwd driver = passwd-file } Can one use MySQL in addition for another domain? Greetings Andreas

[Dovecot] Dovecot replies with default SSL certificate instead of the vhost's
by Shadi Habbal 16 Sep '13

16 Sep '13

Hello, I'm using dovecot v2.0.21. According to http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SSL/DovecotConfiguration,dovecot 2.x supports different SSL certificate for different virtual hosts by using "local_name" directive, but I can't get it to work. When testing the certificate using "openssl s_client -connect domain.com:pop3s" I get the default certificate instead of domain.com's.----------------------------------------------------------------------------Here is the my dovecot.conf:# 2.0.21: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf# OS: Linux 2.6.32-358.6.2.el6.x86_64 x86_64 CentOS release 6.4 (Final) auth_master_user_separator = *auth_mechanisms = PLAIN LOGINdict { acl = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-share-folder.conf quotadict = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-used-quota.conf}first_valid_uid = 2000last_valid_uid = 2000listen = *log_path = /var/log/dovecot.logmail_gid = 2000mail_location = maildir:/%Lh/Maildir/:INDEX=/%Lh/Maildir/mail_plugins = quotamail_uid = 2000managesieve_notify_capability = mailtomanagesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date ihavenamespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = separator = / type = private}namespace { list = children location = maildir:/%%Lh/Maildir/:INDEX=/%%Lh/Maildir/Shared/%%u prefix = Shared/%%u/ separator = / subscriptions = yes type = shared}passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql.conf driver = sql}passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-master-users-password driver = passwd-file master = yes}plugin { acl = vfile acl_shared_dict = proxy::acl auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master autocreate = INBOX autocreate2 = Sent autocreate3 = Trash autocreate4 = Drafts autocreate5 = Junk autosubscribe = INBOX autosubscribe2 = Sent autosubscribe3 = Trash autosubscribe4 = Drafts autosubscribe5 = Junk quota = dict:user::proxy::quotadict quota_rule = *:storage=1G quota_warning = storage=85%% quota-warning 85 %u quota_warning2 = storage=90%% quota-warning 90 %u quota_warning3 = storage=95%% quota-warning 95 %u sieve = /%Lh/sieve/dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = /%Lh/sieve sieve_global_dir = /var/vmail/sieve sieve_global_path = /var/vmail/sieve/dovecot.sieve}protocols = pop3 imap sieveservice auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/dovecot-auth { group = postfix mode = 0666 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-master { group = vmail mode = 0666 user = vmail } unix_listener auth-userdb { group = vmail mode = 0660 user = vmail }}service dict { unix_listener dict { group = vmail mode = 0660 user = vmail }}service imap-login { process_limit = 500 service_count = 1}service pop3-login { service_count = 1}service quota-warning { executable = script /usr/local/bin/dovecot-quota-warning.sh unix_listener quota-warning { group = vmail mode = 0660 user = vmail }}ssl = requiredssl_cert = </etc/pki/tls/certs/iRedMail_CA.pemssl_key = </etc/pki/tls/private/iRedMail.keyuserdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql.conf driver = sql}verbose_ssl = yesprotocol lda { auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master lda_mailbox_autocreate = yes log_path = /var/log/sieve.log mail_plugins = quota sieve autocreate postmaster_address = root}protocol imap { imap_client_workarounds = tb-extra-mailbox-sep mail_plugins = quota imap_quota autocreate}protocol pop3 { mail_plugins = quota pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv}local_name nourcc.com { ssl_ca = </etc/ssl/comodo.ca.crt ssl_cert = </etc/pki/tls/certs/nourcc.com.pem ssl_key = </etc/pki/tls/private/nourcc.com.key}local_name rockmetal-ae.com { ssl_ca = </etc/ssl/comodo.ca.crt ssl_cert = </etc/pki/tls/certs/rockmetal-ae.com.pem ssl_key = </etc/pki/tls/private/rockmetal-ae.com.key}local_name alliance-sir.com { ssl_ca = </etc/ssl/comodo.ca.crt ssl_cert = </etc/pki/tls/certs/alliance-sir.com.pem ssl_key = </etc/pki/tls/private/alliance-sir.com.key}----------------------------------------------------------------------------Here are my certs permissions, just in case:[root@epm certs]# ll /etc/ssl/comodo.ca.crt-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6668 Sep 14 21:51 /etc/ssl/comodo.ca.crt[root@epm certs]# ll /etc/pki/tls/certs/nourcc.com.pem-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1801 Sep 10 00:00 /etc/pki/tls/certs/nourcc.com.pem[root@epm certs]# ll /etc/pki/tls/private/nourcc.com.key-rw------- 1 root root 1708 Sep 15 19:37 /etc/pki/tls/private/nourcc.com.key----------------------------------------------------------------------------Here is my openssl test output:$ openssl s_client -connect nourcc.com:pop3sCONNECTED(00000003)depth=0 C = SY, O = epm.nourcc.com, OU = IT, CN = epm.nourcc.com, emailAddress = root(a)epm.nourcc.comverify error:num=18:self signed certificateverify return:1depth=0 C = SY, O = epm.nourcc.com, OU = IT, CN = epm.nourcc.com, emailAddress = root(a)epm.nourcc.comverify return:1.......................... blah blah blah ......................... so I'm not sure, is there a certain way for doing it that I overlooked?

[Dovecot] Change mail_location for one user?
by Scott Galambos 16 Sep '13

16 Sep '13

Hello, I'm running the latest version of dovecot on Linux with mbox mailboxes. Everything works fine. So in my dovecot config I have mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u I would like to now change the mail_location for one user in an attempt to slowly migrate to Maildir format. I'm confused how to do this. I'm running shadow passwords: $: doveconf -n passdb passdb { driver = shadow } Testing any given user gives: $: dovecot user sarah field value uid 1478 gid 116 home /home/sarah mail mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/sarah system_groups_user sarah What would I have to do to make only sarah's mail_location ~/Maildir now? My userdb is: $: doveconf -n userdb userdb { driver = passwd } I tried following the wiki's but its confusing. Thanks for any help or tips.

Hello everybody, I'm trying to use the Dovecot antispam on Debian Wheezy (dovecot version 2.1.7), but it's not working, each time I put a mail in the "Spam" folder, it is send in its original folder.
