[Dovecot] v2.2 status update: IMAP NOTIFY extension and more
by Timo Sirainen 16 Aug '12

16 Aug '12

v2.2 hg now has support for NOTIFY extension. The only thing missing is support for SubscriptionChange events. Now would be a good time for IMAP clients to start implementing and testing it. :) I remember K9 developers at least said they were just waiting for Dovecot to support it first. v2.2 implements some other extensions also: BINARY, CATENATE and MOVE. Stephan has also implemented URLAUTH pretty far. Hopefully it gets finished in time for v2.2.0. I'll also try to implement the rest of the LEMONADE extensions: CONVERT, CONTEXT=SORT and URLAUTH=BINARY. I'm also considering implementing an SMTP submission server, which works only as a proxy to the real SMTP server. The benefits of it would mainly be: * It could support BURL command and other extensions required by LEMONADE. The real SMTP server would see only regular DATA commands. * Would make SMTP AUTH easy to implement regardless of what the real SMTP server is.

[Dovecot] Postfix & Dovecot: Client certificate authentication
by "JARRY Jérémy" 16 Aug '12

16 Aug '12

Hello, I would like to set up an authentication using certificate with Dovecot: A user sends mail to Postfix and Dovecot authentication is valid only if certificate is trusted. So, I enable the parameter auth_ssl_require_client_cert in dovecot configuration but it is not running. Here are the postfix logs: Aug 16 09:51:48 myserver dovecot: auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth Aug 16 09:51:48 myserver dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libauthdb_ldap.so Aug 16 09:51:48 myserver dovecot: auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=6922) Aug 16 09:51:51 myserver dovecot: auth: Debug: client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=smtp nologin lip=127.0.0.1 rip=127.0.0.1 secured resp=xxx Aug 16 09:51:51 myserver postfix/smtpd[6922]: warning: localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1]: SASL PLAIN authentication failed: Client didn't present valid SSL certificate Aug 16 09:51:51 myserver dovecot: auth: PLAIN(?,127.0.0.1): Client didn't present valid SSL certificate Aug 16 09:51:51 myserver dovecot: auth: Debug: client out: FAIL 1 reason=Client didn't present valid SSL certificate Aug 16 09:51:51 myserver dovecot: auth: Debug: client in: AUTH 2 LOGIN service=smtp nologin lip=127.0.0.1 rip=127.0.0.1 secured Aug 16 09:51:51 myserver dovecot: auth: LOGIN(?,127.0.0.1): Client didn't present valid SSL certificate Aug 16 09:51:51 myserver dovecot: auth: Debug: client out: FAIL 2 reason=Client didn't present valid SSL certificate Aug 16 09:51:51 myserver postfix/smtpd[6922]: warning: localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed: Client didn't present valid SSL certificate It seems Postfix doesn't send the client certificat to Dovecot. What do you think ? What is wrong ? Below are some information about my configuration: OS: RHEL5 Postfix: 2.7.3 Dovecot: 2.0.14 Dovecot config: auth_debug = yes auth_debug_passwords = yes auth_mechanisms = plain login auth_ssl_require_client_cert = yes auth_ssl_username_from_cert = yes auth_verbose = yes mail_debug = yes passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf driver = ldap } protocols = none service auth { unix_listener /data/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } user = root } ssl = required ssl_ca = </etc/dovecot/ca.pem ssl_cert = </etc/dovecot/cert.pem ssl_key = </etc/dovecot/key.pem ssl_verify_client_cert = yes userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf driver = ldap } verbose_ssl = yes Thanks for your help

[Dovecot] bcrypt again
by Sven Schwyn 15 Aug '12

15 Aug '12

Hi I'd like Dovecot to consume a list of users exported from an external application which stores bcrypted passwords. This has been asked in the past, however, I'm not sure how to read the following reply: > If you are using Dovecot< 2.0 you can also use any of the algorithms > supported by your system's libc. But then you have to prefix the hashes > with {CRYPT} - not {{BLF,SHA256,SHA512}-CRYPT}. I'm on Dovecot 2.0.19. Does this mean that only the hashes listed with "doveadm pw -l" are supported and even if glibc can do bcrypt, the CRYPT scheme won't do the trick anymore? Thanks for your help!

[Dovecot] vacation and field FROM
by Николай Клименко 14 Aug '12

14 Aug '12

Hi to all Here is the following scheme: Dovecot in a link with AD. For LDA and IMAP different views are used in a base. For example there is a user with such e-mail type - 1.name(a)domain.ltd with the name of authorization auth_1.name. Incoming male folds up in /var/mail/domain/auth_1.name When vacation is on, the letters from 1.name(a)domain.ltd are sent in a following way auth_1.name(a)domain.ltd I guess the problem is in two different data-base queries. Could you please tell me how to solve this problem and to make the answer to be sent from the same adress it is comes to. part of dovecot.conf protocol lda { mail_plugins = sieve acl hostname = domain.ltd postmaster_address = <postmaster(a)domain.ltd> auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master_lda log_path = /var/log/dovecot-deliver.log } auth default { verbose = no debug = no debug_passwords = no mechanisms = plain user = dovecot passdb passwd-file { args = /etc/dovecot/passwd.masterusers master = yes } passdb ldap { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf } userdb static { args = uid=20000 gid=20000 home=/opt/mail/user_mailbox/%Lu allow_all_users=yes } socket listen { master { path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode = 0660 user = vmail group = vmail } client { path = /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-auth mode = 0660 user = postfix group = postfix } } } auth auth_lda { verbose = no debug = no debug_passwords = no mechanisms = plain user = dovecot passdb ldap { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap_lda.conf } userdb ldap { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap_lda.conf } socket listen { master { path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master_lda mode = 0660 user = vmail group = vmail } part of dovecot-ldap.conf (filter options) pass_attrs = sAMAccountName=user pass_filter = (&(sAMAccountName=%u)(objectClass=user)(!(userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2))) part of dovecot-ldap_lda.conf user_attrs = sAMAccountName=user user_filter = (mail=%u) pass_attrs = sAMAccountName=user pass_filter = (mail=%u) --

[Dovecot] Libdovecot-sieve segfaults
by Nikita Koshikov 14 Aug '12

14 Aug '12

Hello Stephan, Preface - one of my users went to vacation and changed his sieve script to run autoreply vacation message, after that - I have noticed some annoying errors in system log, like: dovecot-lda[2400]: segfault at 3eb3333f ip b7446c7a sp bfaab050 error 4 in libdovecot-sieve.so.0.0.0[b7429000+5b000] Dovecot-error log is empty, but in exim log(exim runs dovecot-lda) I got: 2012-08-13 09:35:27 1T0oFK-0000aW-6j ** sr(a)domain.com (sr(a)domain.com, root(a)domain.com) <postmaster(a)domain.com > F=<59942270813(a)mymail.in.ua> R=ldap_accept T=local_delivery: Child process of local_delivery transport (running command "/usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -e -d $local_part@$domain") was terminated by signal 11 (Segmentation fault) sr(a)domain.com - is the user, who created such sieve-script, which cause segfaults. I have tried run the same message over this script from sieve-test utility - but result is success. Can you please, take a look to this sieve script and check is it ok, I'll send it to you privately since it contains user's data. Also I'll attach message.eml which triggers segfault. Dovecot version - 2.0.21, Sieve version - 0.2.6. Relevant to sieve dovecot config section: plugin { sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_after = /etc/dovecot/sieve/default-after.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve sieve_extensions = +notify +spamtest sieve_spamtest_max_value = 10 sieve_spamtest_status_header = X-Spam-Scan-Score sieve_spamtest_status_type = score } Hope you'll help.

[Dovecot] HA Mailbox Design
by Nikolaos Milas 13 Aug '12

13 Aug '12

Hi, We would like to implement a Highly Available Mail Server and would like to ask advice on how to architect this. Some details on our setup: Currently we have only one internal mail server (Postfix/Dovecot 2.0 - planning to move to 2.1), receiving mail from a gateway server (filtering spam/viruses) - a Cisco Ironport - which we are considering to replace with one (or a set of) cloud-based Postfix/Amavis-new/SpamAssassin/ClamAV VMs (currently in testing mode). Delivery uses Dovecot LDA. User accounts are LDAP-based. We use Maildir and the load is low (aside spam). Only about 250 users/mailboxes (4G each). All servers are CentOS 5.8 (planning move to 6.3) KVM VMs (on a cloud where we don't have control on the host, but on highly reliable hardware/networks). We can have VMs on two different clouds and we also have at least two different connections (routes) to the cloud(s) (to support HA). Any directions will be appreciated. Hoping to design an HA architecture but aiming to keep it simple and (as much as possible) easily maintainable one. Thanks for your response and help, Nick
