[Dovecot] authentication issue - dovecot + Mysql
by Reinhard Sanjeet Lal 05 Oct '08

05 Oct '08

Hi, I have a FreeBSD 7.0 server with the following version of software's installed: postfix-2.5.4,1 postfixadmin-2.2.1.1 roundcube-0.2.a,1 php5 mysql-server-5.0.67 dovecot-1.1.3_1 Note that pre-reqs for all of the above also has been installed. I have used this guide to walk myself through the setup : http://www.purplehat.org/?page_id=4 My setup uses virtual domain and user style(mostly for hosting provider type) , all stored into the Mysql db, now when I try to telnet to port 110 for pop test or even telnet for IMAP test , I get this error: dovecot: Sep 24 18:51:49 Info: pop3-login: Aborted login (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=<rein>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured note : there are numerous of there errors , but I included only this. Dovecot is not able to authenticate by using the query in its dovecot-sql.conf file. I have tried a lot of tricks by changing the mechanism MD5 , PLAIN LOGIN etc, but no avail. Please , could someone assist me in solving this issue, not that I can send and receive emails but pop and IMAP seems not to work , so is the webmail functionality . Here is my dovecot -n output : # 1.1.3: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf log_path: /var/log/dovecot.log protocols: imap imaps pop3 pop3s ssl_cert_file: /etc/ssl/dovecot/cert.pem ssl_key_file: /etc/ssl/dovecot/key.pem disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login login_greeting: Baby Is Ready. login_greeting_capability(default): yes login_greeting_capability(imap): yes login_greeting_capability(pop3): no verbose_proctitle: yes first_valid_uid: 125 last_valid_uid: 125 first_valid_gid: 125 last_valid_gid: 125 mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: maildir:/usr/local/virtual/%d/%n maildir_copy_preserve_filename: yes mail_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugins(default): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(imap): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(pop3): quota mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3 imap_client_workarounds(default): delay-newmail netscape-eoh tb-extra-mailbox-se imap_client_workarounds(imap): delay-newmail netscape-eoh tb-extra-mailbox-sep imap_client_workarounds(pop3): pop3_enable_last(default): no pop3_enable_last(imap): no pop3_enable_last(pop3): yes pop3_client_workarounds(default): pop3_client_workarounds(imap): pop3_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh auth default: mechanisms: login plain cram-md5 digest-md5 plain login username_format: %Ln passdb: driver: sql args: /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: sql args: /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 ____________________________ Reinhard Sanjeet Lal Manager Network Operations p + 679 3275040 f + 679 3275053 m + 679 9923147 e sanjeet(a)getunwired.com.fj <http://www.unwired.com.fj> www.unwired.com.fj disclaimer "This transmission is for the intended addressee only and is confidential information.

[Dovecot] cyrus2courrier mass migration
by Mathieu Kretchner 05 Oct '08

05 Oct '08

Hello, So we've chosen to use dovecot as our imap mail server and replace our old cyrus server ! BUT : I would like to do a conversion of my imap accounts (and keep all theirs characteristics) from cyrus-imapd-2.2.12 in cyrus format to dovecot 1.1.3 in courrier format. I've tried those 3 tools : cyrus2courrier.1.5.ts cyrus2courier-1.3z4 imapsync (works well but very slow and should not be a true solution) But nothing is working to keep the seen/unseen flag (expect imapsync) ! I know my cyrus version is too "recent" but do you have any idea how could I do this migration ? A second problem is that I have 600 Go of imap account to migrate, if you've any clue on how to do a migration without loosing a lot of availability, I would be happy to read you ! Tanks in advance.

[Dovecot] Bug? Expunging Symlinked Maildir w/ Lazy_expunge Enabled
by Rich at Whidbey Telecom 05 Oct '08

05 Oct '08

Hi all, Using Dovecot 1.0.3 on RedHat Enterprise 5 (kernel 2.6.18-8.1.6.el5PAE), and NFS storage, we symlinked a Maildir folder: /mailstore/user/Maildir/.Junk -> /junkstore/user/Junkmaildir Everything works fine, until we try to expunge, which produces: A04 NO BUG: Unknown internal error This only happens if "lazy_expunge" is enabled: mail_plugins = quota imap_quota acl lazy_expunge lazy_expunge = .EXPUNGED/ .EXPUNGED/ .EXPUNGED/ Lazy_expunge works great on non-symlinked folders. We tried version 1.1 alpha2, which actually crashes in this scenario. The only fix we've found is to disable "lazy_expunge". Attached is our "dovecot -n" config. Anyone have an idea what might be causing this or a workaround? Thanks!

[Dovecot] Corrupted transaction log file / record size too small
by Steven Winikoff 05 Oct '08

05 Oct '08

I recently upgradeded dovecot on one of our servers from version 1.0.10 to version 1.1.3. Ever since, we've been seeing occasional errors similar to this sequence (with the username and IP addresses elided): Sep 30 00:09:56 alcor dovecot: pop3-login: Login: [4954], XXXX, NNN.NNN.NN.NNN Sep 30 00:09:56 alcor dovecot: wrapper[5006]: pop3, XXXX, NNN.NNN.NN.NNN Sep 30 00:09:56 alcor dovecot: pop3[5006] XXXX, NNN.NNN.NN.NNN: Corrupted transaction log file /home/XXXX/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.log: record size too small (type=0x40, offset=12224, size=0) Sep 30 00:09:56 alcor dovecot: pop3[5006] XXXX, NNN.NNN.NN.NNN: Couldn't init INBOX: Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. [2008-09-30 00:09:56] Sep 30 00:09:56 alcor dovecot: pop3[5006] XXXX, NNN.NNN.NN.NNN: Mailbox init failed top=0/0, retr=0/0, del=0/0, size=0, xfer=0/95 System and dovecot configuration details are appended. I saw an archived mailing list message from January 2007 which may be relevant (www.mailinglistarchive.com/dovecot@dovecot.org/msg07908.html), in which the original poster's symptoms disappeared when he recompiled dovecot with gcc-3.4.0 instead of using gcc-3.1. In my case I used gcc-4.1.2, so I don't know if that's still relevant (and if so, what other version to use instead). In the output of `dovecot -n` which follows, /local/pkg/dovecot/localmods/wrapper.imap is a locally written program which registers the user's IMAP or POP connection in the lastlog file and also ensures that the user's shell is considered valid. I'd be surprised if this is relevant, but I've appended the source code in case it may be (and/or in case anyone else may find it useful!). I've been working around the problem by deleting the contents of ~user/.imap for affected users, but I'd really prefer to fix it properly. :-) Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

[Dovecot] Expunge working on folders, but not main mailbox

[Dovecot] Annotation plugin for dovecot
by Bernhard Herzog 02 Oct '08

Hi, as part of an effort to make dovecot usable as the IMAP component in the Kolab Groupware system <http://kolab.org/>, we've started to develop a plugin that implements the IMAP METADATA extension. The plugin is still under development and development is focused on the plugin's use in Kolab, so it will at first only implement what's immediately needed to achieve that goal. The plugin is available as a mercurial repository at http://hg.intevation.org/kolab/dovecot-metadata-plugin/ More information about the current status of the plugin is available in the README file in the sources. Regards, Bernhard
