[Dovecot] v2.2 status update
by Timo Sirainen 20 Mar '13

20 Mar '13

So, I'm still planning on getting v2.2.0 out Really Soon now. Unfortunately I've had to quickly develop some rather large features still at this stage. I was initially planning on leaving them for v2.3, but they were a requirement for one project and implementing them now to v2.2 was the least amount of trouble for me. (And yes, I'm aware I haven't replied to a lot of emails in this list. There are about 60 unread ones. Hopefully I'll have time to go through them this week.) So, what we have now: * dsync can sync ACLs * dsync can sync Sieve scripts - Slightly unfinished patch for Pigeonhole at http://dovecot.org/patches/2.2/doveadm-sieve-plugin.diff * dsync does the ACL/Sieve syncing by having implemented generic mailbox attribute syncing. (The ACLs/Sieve scripts are transparently mapped into the attribute hierarchy.) ACL plugin also supports now restricting attribute set/get/iteration. IMAP METADATA extension can be implemented using mailbox attributes. The dsync/ACL support was the main reason why I had planned on delaying native IMAP METADATA support until v2.3, but there's really no reason for that anymore. So expect IMAP METADATA support also early in v2.2.x (disabled by default). I'll still need to figure out how to do quota for it. * LDAP values can now have DN pointers to other entries that are queried. (Support for LDAP URLs could probably also be added with little trouble.) The configuration becomes a bit more complex again, but until the whole LDAP configuration is redesigned this will work. Example: user_attrs = \ =user=%{ldap:uid}, \ @mail=%{ldap:mailDN}, \ =uid=%{ldap:uidNumber@mail}, \ =gid=%{ldap:gidNumber@mail}, \ =home=%{ldap:rootPath@mail}/%d/%n

Dear sir, I have to set up a mail gateway which will be explored to Internet and a secure mail server in the Intranet. I need a smart imap proxy in the mail gateway which will fetch the mail from server and present to user through either a stand alone mail client or a web mail client. All authentication is through ldap server. I have installed Dovecot 2.2 Unstable in my Ubuntu 12.04 with ssl enabled But when I am starting dovecot, I am getting the following error *doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /usr/local/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf line 12: Unknown setting: ssl_cert* I couldn't figure out what is wrong. Please help me to sort it out.

Did you verified that the header "To" really exists in the message and that "info(a)info.xx.com" is part of it? The log you've posted displays the envelope information, which is not necessary the same as the header information. Also, remove the precompiled Sieve script, in order to ensure that the pre-compiled one is really one from the script. You could also decompile it to make sure, it has been created from your test script. You'll find sieve-dump in src/sieve-tools/, if you compile from sources, or maybe in /usr/local/bin.

[Dovecot] SMTP Client authentication to remote Postfix/Dovecot
by Christian Benke 19 Mar '13

19 Mar '13

Hello! This is probably another basic question and i'm not even sure if it's something where Dovecot is involved, but i'll give it a shot. So i've setup Postfix with Dovecot and system-auth on my remote server. So far it looks like everything is working fine and dandy via SASL(PLAIN) and TLS. I'm just not happy about my local SMTP client settings. I'm going to try to work with mutt in the future, so i need a local MTA - i've decided to try it with Postfix. This works so far and i can send mails with mutt. However - my setup relies on smtp_sasl_password_maps for authentication. I'm not too happy to have plaintext-passwords of remote systems lying around on my local filesystem. It doesn't really ease my mind that the file is readable by root only, this doesn't help if my laptop's harddisk gets mounted elsewhere. Are there alternatives or better ways to do SMTP authentication? http://www.postfix.org/SASL_README.html#server_cyrus_comm says: > saslauthd can verify the SMTP client credentials by using them to log into an IMAP server So i have my mutt-client which is logged in to the remote Dovecot IMAP. Mutt uses the local MTA to send the mail. Is there some way to tell the local postfix or a local dovecot to authenticate the SMTP-Session via the existing IMAP-login? Or some other way where i at least don't rely on plaintext passwords but secure, encrypted hashes? Sorry if this is a redundant thread, "smtp client" authentication site:dovecot.org/list' and the likes are not exactly the most rewarding or unique search terms unfortunately. Thanks, Christian -- Central Asia by bike, starting May 2013 - http://poab.org

[Dovecot] Integrating with Drupal SQL db

Hi I'm trying to get Dovecot to use Drupal users password for authenticating IMAP users. But I just cant figure out how to make Dovecot understand the password hash type that Drupal 7 is using. My example user with password Teacher1 looks like this in Drupal database: $S$DZwJa.U8HXT2PvTmwCK13rGEYEvnx5DB6/hlqnfCBum4s4U7MVWU Dovecot retrieves this hash but complains that its not a recognized hash type, or that the hash is wrong, depending on if I change the default hash type in Dovecot config.

[Dovecot] Random LDA failure to access auth socket
by Chris Richards 19 Mar '13

19 Mar '13

Greetings all. Please forgive me if I'm posting something that has already been addressed, but my google-foo is not strong enough to find the solution. I've got a dovecot server running version 2.0.19 on Gentoo Hardened. I have Postfix as my MTA, and it is calling the Dovecot LDA to deliver the mail. Everything is working great, mail is being delivered, and the users are happy. However, I am noticing that I have random entries like this: Mar 1 20:19:23 hermes dovecot: lda: Error: userdb lookup: connect(/var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb) failed: Permission denied (euid=97(dovecot) egid=97(dovecot) missing +r perm: /var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb, dir owned by 0:0 mode=0755) Mar 1 20:19:23 hermes dovecot: lda: Fatal: Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. Since these messages came from the server log, looking in the server log for more information is rather pointless. I have 10-master.conf configured as follows: service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { mode = 0600 user = vmail group = vmail } In 15-lda.conf I have: protocol lda { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins sieve quota } In Postfix master.cf, I have the following: dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail:users argv=/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -f ${sender} -d ${user}@${nexthop} Permissions on the socket are: srw------- 1 vmail vmail 0 Feb 24 23:43 auth-userdb Judging from the log, my problem is that the LDA appears to be trying to access the socket as the dovecot user (rather than the vmail user), but my question is why? What logging can I use to tell me if postfix is calling with the wrong permissions or if the lda is somehow getting confused? Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated. Thanks, Gizmo

[Dovecot] SASL + Postfix woes
by Jerry 18 Mar '13

18 Mar '13

Okay, I wasn't going to try and fix up the messed up mail server I was given; however, I decided that I might as well try. Situation: The system has a Postfix MTA and uses Dovecot for LDA and Cyrus-SASL for SASL. That works fine. I decided that I wanted to switch over to Dovecot for SASL. dovecot is presently using MySQL for its database. I make the (I thought) necessary changes in Postfix and restarted it. Big problem. SASL is now broken. I turned on logging in Dovecot to see what was happening, but apparently nothing is happening. There are no entries regarding Postfix attempting to negotiate an SASL request with Dovecot. This is the "dovecot -n" outout (yes, I know it is an old version) # 1.2.17: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf # OS: FreeBSD 8.3-STABLE amd64 ufs log_path: /var/log/dovecot.log login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login verbose_proctitle: yes first_valid_uid: 1000 first_valid_gid: 1000 mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: maildir:/var/mail/vhost/seibercom.net/gerard mail_plugins: expire imap_client_workarounds: delay-newmail netscape-eoh tb-extra-mailbox-sep lda: postmaster_address: postmaster(a)seibercom.net mail_plugins: sieve sieve_global_path: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/sieve/gerard.sieve sendmail_path: /usr/sbin/sendmail auth default: mechanisms: plain login digest-md5 cram-md5 username_format: %Lu verbose: yes debug: yes debug_passwords: yes 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 user: vmail group: vmail plugin: expire: Trash 2 Spam/* 2 expire_dict: proxy::expire dict: expire: mysql:/usr/local/etc/dovecot-dict-expire.conf This is the "dovecot-sql.conf" file: driver = mysql connect = host=localhost dbname=Dovecot user=root password=xxxxxxxx password_query = SELECT concat(userid, '@', domain) AS user, password \ FROM users WHERE userid = '%n' AND domain = '%d' user_query = SELECT uid, gid, home FROM users WHERE userid = '%n' AND domain = '%d' This is the pertinent part of the postconf -fn output: broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/usr/local/etc/postfix/sasl_password_maps smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous smtp_sasl_type = dovecot smtpd_client_restrictions = reject_unauth_pipelining permit_sasl_authenticated smtpd_relay_restrictions = permit_mynetworks permit_sasl_authenticated smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_authenticated_header = yes smtpd_sasl_local_domain = $mydomain smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous, noplaintext smtpd_sasl_tls_security_options = noanonymous I have tried using "dovecot" in place of "private/auth", but it doesn't make any difference.

I am probably doing something extremely stupid, but I just cannot figure out what it is. -- Jerry ♔ Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.

[Dovecot] Dovecot with sasl/imaps/postfix and thunderbird
by Alex 18 Mar '13

18 Mar '13

Hi, I have an fc18 system with postfix and dovecot-2.1.13 and have configured them to use sasl for SMTP Auth and Maildir with imaps. The system is running now, so I'm trying to set up thunderbird to autodetect all settings during the initial account setup. However, it seems to want to use port 143 and STARTTLS, and not port 993, which is what I would expect. When I force it to use 993, I receive a certificate failure message: Mar 12 23:20:45 propnew postfix/submission/smtpd[14423]: initializing the server-side TLS engine Mar 12 23:20:45 propnew postfix/tlsmgr[14425]: open smtpd TLS cache btree:/var/lib/postfix/smtpd_tls_session_cache Mar 12 23:20:45 propnew postfix/tlsmgr[14425]: tlsmgr_cache_run_event: start TLS smtpd session cache cleanup Mar 12 23:20:45 propnew postfix/submission/smtpd[14423]: connect from unknown[192.168.1.43] Mar 12 23:20:45 propnew dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts in 0 secs): user=<>, rip=192.168.1.43, lip=66.111.222.101, TLS: SSL_read() failed: error:14094412:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:sslv3 alert bad certificate: SSL alert number 42, session=<BGBS5MXXhQDAqAEr> Mar 12 23:20:45 propnew postfix/submission/smtpd[14423]: lost connection after CONNECT from unknown[192.168.1.43] These are self-signed certs created using dovecot's mkcert.sh script. Is this a problem with the cert or with the dovecot configuration? Is it conventional to use port 143 for encrypted IMAP connections these days, and not just 993? I'm finding that port 25 works with TLS and postfix now too, not just port 587, so I'm really confused. I've included my doveconf output below.
