acl replication
by micha＠micha.waw.pl 15 May '23

What is correct way to sync ACLs across two servers? Example: I want user1 to have access to user2 mailbox. I do this on server1: doveadm acl set shared/user2 user=user1 admin create delete expunge insert lookup read write write-deleted write-see Now user1 can see shared/user2 when logged to server1. (Looks good!) He still has no access when logged to server2. (Seems correct.) So I do synchronization: doveadm sync -u user2 remote:server2 ...and nothing changes. He still have access only when logged to server1. So I force full synchronization: doveadm sync -u -f user2 remote:server2 ...and success! User1 has access to shared/user2 on both servers now. But now I want to remove access. So I do this on server1: doveadm acl delete shared/user2 user=user1 Of course the above affects only server1, so user1 still have access when logged to server2. So now I do synchronization: doveadm sync -u user2 remote:server2 Nothing happens. :-( So I try do do full synchro: doveadm sync -u user2 -f remote:server2 ...disaster! The ACL is COPIED BACK from server2 to server1 and effectively restoring access to shared/user2 on on both servers again. (WTH?) So big question is: Who to do it properly? It would be enough for me if ACL's were copied only one way (server1->server2), but bidirectional replication would of course also be nice. :-) Configs: namespace { disabled = no hidden = no ignore_on_failure = no inbox = no list = children location = maildir:%%h/.maildir:LAYOUT=fs:INDEX=~/.shared/%%u order = 0 prefix = shared/%%u/ separator = / subscriptions = no type = shared } plugin { acl = vfile:/etc/dovecot/mailconfig/global-acls acl_defaults_from_inbox = yes acl_shared_dict = file:/etc/dovecot/mailconfig/shared/shared-mailboxes }

Conclusion about plus address setup
by Tom Reed 14 May '23

14 May '23

Hello Just FYI, After simple putting this line into postfix's main.cf: recipient_delimiter = + And reload postfix, the plus alias address should work. I am using dovecot LMTP as delivery agent. Nothing changes to dovecot configuration. Here are the versions: Postfix 3.6.4 Dovecot 2.3.16 OS Ubuntu 22.04 Thank you very much for all helps. regards Tom

Best practice for Dovecot with LDAP and Postfix
by Moritz Pflanzer 09 May '23

09 May '23

Hi all, so far I had a setup where Dovecot was using a passwd file as userdb and passdb. Postfix was then authenticating with Dovecot via SASL to validate user accounts. Now I added an LDAP backend and would like to use that for Dovecot and Postfix. My first approach was to change the passdb to use the LDAP driver with the following settings: hosts = openldap:1389 base = ou=users,dc=example,dc=com auth_bind = yes auth_bind_userdn = uid=%n,ou=users,dc=example,dc=com And I changed the userdb driver to static since anyway there is just the vmail system account for all virtual user mailboxes. This is working as expected for the IMAP connections. But postfix authentication fails as it is apparently using a wrong user_filter. This is what I see in the logs from OpenLDAP: docker-openldap-1 | 645908ae.1d975b70 0x7fe379297700 conn=1347 fd=12 ACCEPT from IP=172.19.0.7:52144 (IP=0.0.0.0:1389) docker-openldap-1 | 645908ae.1d98571f 0x7fe379a98700 conn=1347 op=0 BIND dn="" method=128 docker-openldap-1 | 645908ae.1d993bd7 0x7fe379a98700 conn=1347 op=0 RESULT tag=97 err=0 qtime=0.000009 etime=0.000072 text= docker-postfix-1 | May 08 14:35:26 nest postfix/smtpd[12455]: 8A9FC1E03C5: client=mo4-p01-ob.smtp.rzone.de[85.215.255.51] docker-postfix-1 | May 08 14:35:26 nest postfix/cleanup[12461]: 8A9FC1E03C5: message-id=<713569303.508224.1683556526256(a)webmail.strato.de> docker-postfix-1 | May 08 14:35:26 nest postfix/qmgr[951]: 8A9FC1E03C5: from=<moritz(a)pflanzer.eu>, size=3340, nrcpt=1 (queue active) docker-postfix-1 | May 08 14:35:26 nest postfix/smtpd[12455]: disconnect from mo4-p01-ob.smtp.rzone.de[85.215.255.51] ehlo=2 starttls=1 mail=1 rcpt=1 data=1 quit=1 commands=7 docker-openldap-1 | 645908ae.2616b031 0x7fe379297700 conn=1347 op=1 SRCH base="ou=users,dc=example,dc=com" scope=2 deref=0 filter="(&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=moritz(a)example.com))" docker-openldap-1 | 645908ae.26179272 0x7fe379297700 conn=1347 op=1 SRCH attr=uid docker-openldap-1 | 645908ae.2619389b 0x7fe379297700 conn=1347 op=1 SEARCH RESULT tag=101 err=32 qtime=0.000017 etime=0.000221 nentries=0 text= I tried setting the user_filter manually to "user_filter = (mail=%u)" but that doesn't have any effect. Is this the expected behavior from Dovecot? I guess I can get it working by using the ldap driver for the userdb as well. But is that the best approach since I technically don't need it for dovecot itself. Or should I now change the postfix config as well to directly authenticate against the LDAP server instead of using SASL with Dovecot? Looking forward to recommendations, Moritz

Documentation issue: incorrect link
by Tom Hendrikx 06 May '23

06 May '23

Hello, In the second paragraph at https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/sieve/extensions/duplicate/, a link is included to RFC7353, but this RFC is not related to sieve at all. I think the correct RFC to link is RFC7352, like in the first paragraph. Kind regards, Tom

amount of users
by Thomas Schäfer 05 May '23

05 May '23

Hi, is somewhere a table/matrix/function based on experience how many users require which values for mail_max_userip_connections default_client_limit default_process_limit ...? I run into problems with a small group of users, since the defaults seem to be only for single man shows. The second assumption is: User are permanently online (connected to imap) and using two devices in average (one or two desktops, + one mobile device) Regards, Thomas -- There’s no place like ::1 Thomas Schäfer (Systemverwaltung) Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität Centrum für Informations- und Sprachverarbeitung Oettingenstraße 67 Raum C109 80538 München ☎ +49/89/2180-9706 ℻ +49/89/2180-9701
