Whitelist file for LDAP authentication
by whpang 13 Jul '18

13 Jul '18

Hi, The dovecot version is 2.2.33.2 and we are using LDAP to do the authentication for SMTP service. We have the following configuration in auth-ldap.conf.ext to deny some users for LDAP auth. passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/deny.smtp driver = passwd-file deny = yes } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf driver = ldap } And now we want to change the mechanism and only users in the list can send to LDAP auth and deny all others: passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/allow.smtp driver = passwd-file deny = no result_failure = return-fail result_internalfail = return-fail result_success = continue-fail } passdb { # Path for LDAP configuration file, see example-config/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf driver = ldap } Since we do not have the users’ password in the plain text file “allow.smtp”, the authentication process will fail and exit in the first passdb. Anyone can help to advice how to configure dovecot to have a whitelist for user LDAP authentication? Thank you very much.

by ratatouille 12 Jul '18

Hello! I have a problem with a sieve-script which works for one domain but not for another one. Both domains are hostet on the same server running dovecot and postfix. This is the script that works: require ["vacation"]; # rule:[Out of office] if true { vacation :days 1 :addresses "a.meyer(a)nimmini.de" :subject "absent" "Ich bin nicht da."; } This one does not, a vacation message is not sent: require ["vacation"]; # rule:[Out of office] if true { vacation :days 1 :addresses "a.meyer(a)bitcorner.de" :subject "absent" "Ich bin nicht da."; } I don't know why. A sieve-test shows # sieve-test ./managesieve.sieve ./testfile -D sieve-test(andreas): Debug: sieve: Pigeonhole version 0.4.2 initializing sieve-test(andreas): Debug: sieve: include: sieve_global_dir is not set; it is currently not possible to include `:global' scripts. debug: script binary ./managesieve.svbin is not up-to-date. debug: script `managesieve' from ./managesieve.sieve successfully compiled.

Sieve_default

I created a sieve_default to move any spam-tagged messages into the Junk mailbox automatically, but it doesn’t appear to be working (though the other imapsieve_mailbox… scripts are working). From doveconf -n plugin { imapsieve_mailbox1_before = file:/usr/lib/dovecot/sieve/report-spam.sieve imapsieve_mailbox1_causes = COPY imapsieve_mailbox1_name = Junk imapsieve_mailbox2_before = file:/usr/lib/dovecot/sieve/report-ham.sieve imapsieve_mailbox2_causes = COPY imapsieve_mailbox2_from = Junk imapsieve_mailbox2_name = * imapsieve_mailbox3_before = file:/usr/lib/dovecot/sieve/mark-read.sieve imapsieve_mailbox3_causes = COPY imapsieve_mailbox3_name = Archive sieve = file:~/.sieve;active=~/.active_sieve sieve_default = /usr/lib/dovecot/sieve/default.sieve sieve_default_name = spamassassin sieve_global_extensions = +vnd.dovecot.pipe +vnd.dovecot.environment sieve_pipe_bin_dir = /usr/lib/dovecot/sieve sieve_plugins = sieve_imapsieve sieve_extprograms } And # cat /usr/lib/dovecot/sieve/default.sieve if header :contains "X-spam-flag" "YES" { fileinto "Junk"; } There are no user sieve files # find /home -name "*sieve*" -type f # The x-spam-flag header in the message in my mailbox is definitely there and definitely set to yes.

Re: Authentication failure with OpenLDAP
by Anushka Bandara 12 Jul '18

12 Jul '18

Hi all, Thank you all for the help. The was with the ldap user attributes. I corrected it. Now I am having an error with dovecot. User can log into ldap but, system doesn't allow user to create user's directory in Maildir. Error is below, * Error: User initialization failed: Namespace '': mkdir(/home/users/"user"/Desktop/Maildir) failed: Permission denied (euid=1000(myuser) egid=5000(<unknown>) missing +w perm: /home, we're not in group 100(users), dir owned by 0:100 mode=0775)* How should I give the permission to overcome this error. This is a dovecot error. LDAP authentication is successful. And also, I don't know the default user whom is creating mail directories for mail users. I think the problem will be solved if I grant user the permission. But I don't know how to grant.

Storing Messages in the cloud
by Jerry 12 Jul '18

12 Jul '18

A colleague asked me if it was possible for Dovecot to store messages in the cloud. I have not heard of it being done and therefore assume it is not possible, but I thought I would ask regardless. I tried checking on the “One Drive” forum; however, I have not received any response back yet. Thanks! -- Jerry
