[Dovecot] %d empty string
by Ryan Dotson 28 Jun '11

28 Jun '11

I am trying to upgrade from dovecot 1.x to Dovecot 2.0.13 on Fedora. My problem is the mail_location setting seems to ignore the %d variable. My my location is as follows: mail_location = maildir:/var/spool/virtual_mail/%d/%u/Maildir However, when trying to log in the maillog says it can't find /var/spool/virtual_mail//*myusername*/Maildir/cur. As you can see it just uses an empty string for the %d variable. Can anyone help? Thanks, Ryan

[Dovecot] Multiple values found for 'user', using value
by komodo 28 Jun '11

28 Jun '11

Hi since latest upgrade on my machine, i have lot of warnings in my log, and i found that it is due this change http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot-cvs/2011-February/018588.html Is there any option to disable these warnings ? Yes we have multiple UIDs so these warnings bothers me. Many thanks Regards Martin

[Dovecot] Default sendmail_path value
by Joseph Tam 28 Jun '11

28 Jun '11

It appears the documentation of this parameter is inconsistent with the documentation: > grep -nF /sendmail `gfind src -type f` src/lib-lda/lda-settings.c:41: .sendmail_path = "/usr/sbin/sendmail", src/config/all-settings.c:732: .sendmail_path = "/usr/sbin/sendmail", (and doc/example-config/conf.d/15-lda.conf is also consistent with this) but the documentations states http://wiki2.dovecot.org/LDA sendmail_path is used to send mails. Note that the default is /usr/lib/sendmail, which doesn't necessarily work the same as /usr/sbin/sendmail. I don't know which ought to be changed though. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

[Dovecot] Help regarding getting password policy response
by sarguru 28 Jun '11

28 Jun '11

Hello, I have enabled ldap password policy in my open ldap server and it locks out the account after several unsuccessful bind attempts. I am able to get the password policy response which says "Account locked" by specifying '-e ppolicy' option in my ldapsearch command. I am looking for a way to get similar response when I use dovecot so that I can specify my clients that their account is locked. I understand the security risks involved but mine is low security and high usability requirement. Please share the solution with me. -- Thanks, Sarguru

[Dovecot] Extra plugins vía extrafield in ldap
by Antonio Perez-Aranda 28 Jun '11

28 Jun '11

Hi all, I'm using dovecot 2.0.9 and I have a config like this: dovecot.conf: passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/conf.d/passwd-ldap.conf driver = ldap } mail_plugins = $mail_plugins quota plugin { autocreate = INBOX.SPAM autocreate2 = INBOX.NoSPAM autosubscribe = INBOX.SPAM autosubscribe2 = INBOX.NoSPAM quota = maildir } protocol imap { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins imap_quota autocreate } And in passwd-ldap.conf I have some like this to add extra plugins: user_attrs = homeDirectory=home,uid=user,mailQuota=quota_rule=*:bytes=%$,mailPlugins=mail_plugins With this. I can see that dovecot load all plugins from settings, but in the user session, I can get only the plugins that I have selected in mailPlugins field If i check some like this: mailPlugins=mail_plugins=$mail_plugins %$, The imap session user is aborted after login. How can I add extra plugins by ldap without put on ldap all user plugins? -- Antonio Pérez-Aranda Alcaide aperezaranda(a)yaco.es Yaco Sistemas S.L. http://www.yaco.es/ C/ Rioja 5, 41001 Sevilla Teléfono +34 954 50 00 57 Fax +34 954 50 09 29

[Dovecot] dovecot security with IPv6
by Kārlis Repsons 27 Jun '11

27 Jun '11

Hi Timo, hi all others! In fact, I've only read one person claiming that IPv6 support opens up "too many backdoors" [1], but anyway, as I intend to run just particular services, please give me your opinion if it's insecure to have a dovecot server, which is accessed through a public IPv6 address... (or note just shortly what else could give a firm ground to such claims...) [1] http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-882557.html
