[Dovecot] Permission denied problems
by shacky 04 Feb '09

04 Feb '09

Hi. I'm trying to configure Dovecot for Vpopmail. The authentication works good, but I have some "permission denied" error when I try to open the IMAP folders: dovecot: 2009-02-03 19:16:08 Info: imap-login: Login: user=<test(a)testdomain.com>, method=PLAIN, rip=192.168.246.45, lip=172.16.4.106, TLS dovecot: 2009-02-03 19:16:09 Error: IMAP(prova(a)tuttoenumero.it): stat(/home/vpopmail/domains/testdomain.com/test/Maildir/cur) failed: Permission denied This is my dovecot.conf: protocols = imap imaps disable_plaintext_auth = no log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log log_timestamp = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S " login_greeting = IMAP server ready. mail_location = maildir:/home/vpopmail/domains/%d/%n/Maildir mail_privileged_group = vchkpw mail_access_groups = vchkpw mail_debug = yes mmap_disable = yes (my maildirs are on a NFS filesystem) first_valid_uid = 89 last_valid_uid = 89 first_valid_gid = 89 last_valid_gid = 89 auth_verbose = yes auth_debug = yes auth default { passdb vpopmail { } userdb passwd { } userdb static { args = uid=89 gid=89 mail=Maildir:/home/vpopmail/domains/% } userdb vpopmail { } user = vpopmail } The /home/vpopmail/domains directory and subdirectories are owned by vpopmail.vchkpw and with the permissions 700. The user vpopmail can access to /home/vpopmail/domains/testdomain.conf without any problem. Could you help me to find the problem, please? Thank you very much! Bye.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello Johannes, I wonder if you consider upgrading the antispam plugin to v1.2. I checked out the sources, but it is not sufficient to change some bits and I'm missing the knowledge to hack further.

[Dovecot] Latest CentOS rpms.
by Roderick A. Anderson 03 Feb '09

03 Feb '09

Along with my post about authentication I was wondering if anyone was building RPMs for the later versions of dovecot (and postfix) than I can find in the usual and not-so-usual yum repos? I already pull from rpmforge but would prefer something later than 1.0.7 Say the 1.1 series. Thanks, Rod --

[Dovecot] Dovecot on Mac - Entourage cannot fetch emails
by Bijo 03 Feb '09

03 Feb '09

Hi, Dovecot 1.1.3 is running on Mac OS X 10.5 latest version, with Maildir (LAYOUT=fs). I have following issues when Entourage 2008 connects it, over imap/imaps. Entourage does not cache the mails. After every restart the folder contents are fetched fresh. I have enabled the Entourage option to get entire messages. Entourage caches the gmail IMAP folders fine. Also Outlook 2007 does not have this problem while connecting to the same IMAP server. I have some big folders with a few thousands of emails. Entourage fails with Error: 4362 (Mail could not be retrieved this time) while fetching mails from these folders. Restarting and rebuilding the Entourage database did not fix this issue. Any tips to resolve these issues or to debug what is going on would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Bijoy -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Dovecot-on-Mac---Entourage-cannot-fetch-emails-tp2175… Sent from the Dovecot mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Dovecot] Dovecot 1.1.10 and chroot
by Michal Soltys 03 Feb '09

03 Feb '09

As it's been a while since I upgraded (1.1rc10, jump to 1.1.10), this might be present in earlier versions as well. Anyway, if one enables mail_chroot in global config file, dovecot will try to access /tmp there. Per-user overrides behave correctly. For example, with: mail_chroot=/home/vmail dovecot will abort with: Fatal: chdir(/home/vmail/tmp) failed with uid 65534: No such file or directory Error: imap dump-capability process returned 89 Fatal: Invalid configuration in /etc/dovecot.conf

[Dovecot] Dovecot-antispam does not work
by Jehan Pagès 03 Feb '09

03 Feb '09

Hi, I have installed dovecot-antispam and configured it this way (as in the doc) with the dspam exe: protocol imap { mail_plugins = antispam mail_plugin_dir = /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap } plugin { # For dovecot-antispam: antispam_signature = X-DSPAM-Signature antispam_trash = trash;Trash;Deleted Items antispam_spam = SPAM;Junk #antispam_unsure = unsure antispam_dspam_binary = /usr/bin/dspam antispam_dspam_args = --deliver=;--user;%u antispam_mail_tmpdir = /tmp } But it does not work and really I cannot figure it out for two days, because I can find no log wherever, where it writes it does (or try to do) something, nor in the dovecot logs, nor in the dspam logs. But I know something is happening because when I try to move a spam from my inbox to the Junk folder, it fails with an error telling it could not move the email. At the opposite, when I deactivate the antispam plugin, I can move normally the emails. So what could I do to fix my issue or at least diagnose it (where would I find logs of what is happening?)? Thanks. Jehan

[Dovecot] Mail undeliverable error
by jan gestre 03 Feb '09

03 Feb '09

Hi Guys, I've already posted this to the postfix mailing list and they made sure the error as the title suggest was generated by dovecot and not the other way around. I have an almost perfectly working multi domain mail server running dovecot+postfix+mysql+postfixadmin behind pfsense, when we transferred office, issues arose, suddenly users using email clients like thunderbird/outlook suddenly can't send mail when outside the office and instead gets an smtp denied or worst a mail undeliverable error. The mail undeliverable error was that the postmaster user is unknown yet I've created the alias using postfixadmin. I've made repeated test and sent mail directly to the postmaster and the email was received by the intended user, I'm stumped and have no idea to fix this. Hope you can help me, TIA. Here's the output of dovecot -n: dovecot -n # /etc/dovecot.conf base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/ log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S ssl_cert_file: /etc/postfix/ssl/mail-cert.pem ssl_key_file: /etc/postfix/ssl/mail-key.pem login_dir: /var/run/dovecot//login login_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login first_valid_uid: 150 last_valid_uid: 150 mail_extra_groups: mail mail_location: maildir:/home/virtualmail/%d/%u maildir_copy_with_hardlinks: yes mail_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 pop3_client_workarounds(default): pop3_client_workarounds(imap): pop3_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh auth default: mechanisms: plain login digest-md5 user: nobody passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot-sql.conf socket: type: listen client: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-client mode: 432 user: postfix group: mail master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 432 user: virtualmail group: mail
