[Dovecot] Configuration of LMTP Reject Code
by Petter Urkedal 17 Mar '11

17 Mar '11

Is it possible to change the reject codes from the Dovecot LMTP agent? In particular I would like to change the "550 5.1.1 <...> User doesn't exist." to a temporary failure, since we already validate email addresses on the mail front-end, and such errors are most likely due to a temporary glitch in the user database lookup. We use Postfix on the front-end, which is very configurable in this respect. I don't see a way to override the error code from LMTP, though, but suggestions are welcome.

[Dovecot] Using dovecot with wordpress/phpass passwords?
by Joan 17 Mar '11

17 Mar '11

Good afternoon, I am trying to setup dovecot to authenticate using the userdata from wordpress. It's being a bit mor difficult than I thought. This is the relevant part of the dovecot-sql.conf default_pass_scheme = CRYPT password_query = SELECT user_pass AS password FROM wp_users WHERE user_email='%u'; user_query = SELECT 501 as uid, 501 as gid,'maildir:storage=51200' as quota FROM wp_users WHERE user_email = '%u' I can see that the query is being procecessed according to the logs. Wordpress and others are using phpass to authenticate (http://www.openwall.com/phpass/) it is basically a salted md5 hash. Basically, after the process, a hash like this is obtained. $P$BiWISc3IsqRHxeEjq4VJP1Vi8gy4mg1 (for test123 password) I would like to know if dovecot would be able to read this, otherwise I could still make a custom checkpassword function but that would be non-optimal. Could someone guide me on this? If you need more details just ask. Thanks a lot, joan

I think that I need to modify "/etc/ldap.conf" to remap some attribute with mailQuota from ldap, and then, try to catch this as arg.

[Dovecot] exim and /var/run/dovecot/auth-client permissions
by John Connett 17 Mar '11

17 Mar '11

I am attempting to configure a dovecot 2.0 + exim + fetchmail (demon) combination on openSUSE 11.4, initially with the standard dovecot package (2.0.9-3.4-x86_64) and now with the later server:mail build service package (2.0.11-1.1-x86_64). I followed the instructions in http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/EximAndDovecotSASL but despite the changes in conf.d/10-master.conf the permissions on /var/run/dovecot/auth-client remain unchanged: $ ls -l /var/run/dovecot/auth-client Srw------- 1 root root 0 Mar 14 13:11 /var/run/dovecot/auth-client $ This is probably the cause of authentication failures from exim. I suspect it is something trivial but haven't yet been able to find the answer.

Hi all, Debian Lenny, dovecot 1.0.15 My rkhunter script has picked up dovecot using port 1984 temporarily. When I run it now however, it is gone. Warning: Network TCP port 1984 is being used by /usr/lib/dovecot/imap. Possible rootkit: Fuckit Rootkit Use the 'lsof -i' or 'netstat -an' command to check this. Does dovecot use this port for any reason? anyone seen this before? Regards, Mark
