[Dovecot] director with same director / backend servers
by Will Yardley 23 May '14

23 May '14

I know this has been covered somewhat, but I'm still not totally clear. I'm trying to setup a 3 node cluster with 3 directors and 3 backend systems. This post (from 2012) suggests that proxy_maybe should work with director: http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2012-December/069806.html However, these two posts (from 2013) seem to say that it will not: http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2013-November/093776.html http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2013-November/093809.html When I try to just set =proxy_maybe=y in my LDAP config's pass_attrs, and not have an explicit 'director' listener for pop3-login / imap-login, it complains about lack of a host. May 22 14:28:08 XXXX dovecot: pop3-login: Error: proxy: host not given: user=<XXXXXXX>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured Guessing the answer is "no", but is there any way (with v 2.x) to have one regular "listener" for imap / pop3, and one "director" listener for each as well, using the same instance of Dovecot? Has anyone gotten this to work successfully? I'm using LDAP, and do not want to explicitly specify a host for each username, I just want director to balance users across the 3 hosts. Obviously, I can just create two instances, but not only does this make the config more convoluted (especially following the convention of having the config files broken out into a bunch of files), but means I have to modify the default init script to really do it cleanly (something we were doing on the older iteration of this system that I had really been hoping to avoid). I'm assuming it's not possible to simply have the listeners for 'foo-login' execute something different depending on the port? I tried a couple different ways of configuring this, but it didn't seem to work. Dovecot is version 2.0.9 from RHEL 6. w

[Dovecot] Dovecot pam

Hello! How can I disable passdb { driver = pam } in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/auth-system.conf.ext from file /etc/dovecot/local.conf. I have postfix and dovecot set up to only use virtual users.

[Dovecot] When the subject portion of an e-mail contains a control character, dovecot.sieve terminates unexpectatedly.
by Atsuko Tanaka 22 May '14

22 May '14

Hello. We have currently set dovecot.sieve to insert the text "[SPAM]" at the beginning of an e-mail's subject when it's X-Spam-Score is above 80%. After we set our system as stated the following errors occur: 1) When an e-mail's subject contains control characters like [Ctrl+V|^V], dovecot.sieve terminates with an error and an e-mail is not able to be sent. When a MIME encoded Subject like [ＴＥＳＴ^VＭＡＩＬ] is sent we're not able to edit the subject and dovecot ends with an error. This is a sample of the data that was used in testing. Subject: =?ISO-2022-JP?B?GyRCI1QjRSNTI1QbKEIWGyRCI00jQSNJI0wbKEI=?= X-Spam-Score: 100.00% ↓ Subject: =?ISO-2022-JP?B?GyRCI1QjRSNTI1QbKEIWGyRCI00jQSNJI0wbKEI=?= X-Spam-Score: 100.00% This is the log generated by the data above. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sieve: info: started log at May 02 10:46:22. main script: line 14: error: addheader action: specified value `[SPAM] ＴＥＳＴ?・・' is invalid. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Aside from [Ctrl + V] the following control charcters also cause errors: backspace Ctrl + A Ctrl + C Ctrl + [ Ctrl + X Ctrl + Y 2) When an e-mail's subject line contains a "\0" character, everything following the null character is deleted. When a MIME encoded Subject is sent, for example "ＴＥＳＴ\0ＭＡＩＬ", the subject becomes "[SPAM]ＴＥＳＴ", the characters after the NULL character are deleted and dovecot.sieve ends normally. This is a sample of the data that we collected.

[Dovecot] Sieve fileinto extension and redirect action
by FUSTE Emmanuel 21 May '14

21 May '14

Hello, Is there any way to limit the use of the "redirect" action (local user only or silent ignore) as provisioned by the RFC in the Pigeonhole implementation ? The only way I found for the moment is to completely disable the fileinto extension which hardly beat the users experience. "redirect" is forbidden by my organization policy. Regards, Emmanuel.

[Dovecot] LMTP hostname ignoring ENV variables
by G H 21 May '14

21 May '14

I am having an issue with LMTP appending the local hostname to received mail from Postfix. I either want to append localhost, a custom string, or nothing at all. Looking through the source code, I believe I should be able to set "export DOVECOT_HOSTNAME" and "export DOVECOT_HOSTDOMAIN" in my initscript to override the hostname set in lmtp/commands.c, client_get_added_headers() I'm using Centos 5; my hostname is mailtest1.atest.qq -- it is not defined in /etc/hosts. The added header is below: Received: from mail.mailorxyz.de by mailtest1.atest.qq (Dovecot) with LMTP id sreUK1+sfFOseQAAPYI4hw for <admin(a)mailorxyz.de>; Wed, 21 May 2014 13:39:03 +0000 Received: by mail.mailorxyz.de (Postfix, from userid 97) id CC743116AB5; Wed, 21 May 2014 13:39:03 +0000 (UTC) I have the following defined in /etc/init.d/dovecot: export DOVECOT_HOSTDOMAIN=dovecot.mailorxyz.de export DOVECOT_HOSTNAME=dovecot.mailorxyz.de Am I missing something or did I misunderstand the source code? Thanks.

Hi Again, we have one domain, i suppose we don't have any problem with %n parameter. our mail server has mapped LUN Storage disk , we have some empty space problems, so i think it's better keep user things in storage for backup etc. we have totally 40K users(most of students) but i think at most 50 of them use this filter, autorespond etc. :) thank you for your reply.

Does the first occurence show some code being excessive somehow? Thanks. MU

[Dovecot] allow_nets + default + ldap
by Andreas Schulze 21 May '14

21 May '14

Hello, I'm playing with allow_nets function. It is really cool! In a filebased passwd backend you simply add "allow_nets=192.0.2.143/32" as mentioned in http://wiki2.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase/ExtraFields/AllowNets But if I use an LDAP backend it looks different. Following http://wiki2.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/LDAP/AuthBinds and http://wiki2.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/LDAP/Userdb#Attribute_templates_.28v2… my pass_attrs looks this: pass_attrs = =user=%{ldap:uid}, \ =allow_nets=%{ldap:allownets} Using this syntax I could add an attribute "allownets" in the ldapserver to limit access for a user. A problem occour if the attribute is not present. For example if a user should not be limited or only some but not any user should be limited. So I extend my pass_attrs with a default. pass_attrs = =user=%{ldap:uid}, \ =allow_nets=%{ldap:allownets:10.0.0.0/8} Again, that's fine. Any user was allowed to connect from my private network. But then some users connect via ipv6. I tried to extend my default to pass_attrs = =user=%{ldap:uid}, \ =allow_nets=%{ldap:allownets:10.0.0.0/8,fec0::/16} That syntax, a comma separated list, produces errors no matter if quoting using " or ' or no quoting at all. So I looked at the source (thanks, it's open!) and wrote a little patch to allow simple defaults: - ALL -> allow any address - NONE -> deny any address Now I could write pass_attrs = =user=%{ldap:uid}, =allow_nets=%{ldap:allownets:ALL} or pass_attrs = =user=%{ldap:uid}, =allow_nets=%{ldap:allownets:NONE} to allow or deny any ldap account not having an attribute allownets. Maybe there are other solutions, but that's my way... Andreas
