[Dovecot] Vacation: Missing file .dovecot.lda-dupes ?
by Tobias Balle-Petersen 03 Feb '09

03 Feb '09

Hello.... I'm using the vacation feature, but the vacation reply is sent when ever a mail is received. What I want is, that the reply should only be sent one time to each user. My understanding is, that a list of people who have received the vacation message should be stored in the file .dovecot.lda-dupes in the users folder. This file is not present in my users fould. I have tried creating the file, but this makes no difference. Any ideas? Output from dovecot -n: # 1.0.10: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: imaps imap listen: localhost:143 ssl_listen: *:993 ssl_cert_file: /etc/ssl/certs/XX.crt ssl_key_file: /etc/ssl/private/XX.key ssl_key_password: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_greeting: System ready. login_process_per_connection: no valid_chroot_dirs: /home/vmail mail_extra_groups: mail mail_location: maildir:/home/vmail/%n/mail:INDEX=/var/indexes/%n maildir_copy_with_hardlinks: yes mail_plugins: quota imap_quota trash imap_client_workarounds: delay-newmail auth default: username_format: %n verbose: yes debug: yes passdb: driver: ldap args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf userdb: driver: ldap args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth-client mode: 432 user: postfix group: vmail master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 432 user: vmail group: vmail plugin: quota: maildir:storage=10485760 quota2: maildir:user quota trash: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-trash.conf sieve: /home/vmail/%n/.dovecot.sieve Thanks, Tobias

[Dovecot] "user grade" IMAP stress test
by Luigi Rosa 03 Feb '09

03 Feb '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I need some user grade windows-based IMAP stress tool. I have a situation with a lot of "disconnect" error on the user side (outlook, thunderbird and outlook express) but no sign of error on the Dovecot server. Between clients and server there are a LAN of dubious performance and a ZyWALL. I have already removed every kind of packet filtering on ZyWALL, few hours ago I moved the server near the ZyWALL and connected it directly. Should everything keeps going wrong, I would like to try to run some sort of IMAP test tool, but I have to give it to a Windows user. Can you please suggest me such tool?

[Dovecot] sieve 0.1.2 problem with address and :regex
by Andy Howell 03 Feb '09

03 Feb '09

I'm getting a core dump with the following script: require [ "fileinto", "regex", "variables" ]; if address :domain :regex ["Reply-To", "Sender", "To", "Cc"] "antlr.org|mailman.unixodbc.org|research.att.com|wireshark.org" { if address :regex ["Reply-To", "Sender", "To", "Cc"] ["([^-@]*)-([^-@]*)(-bounces)?@[^:space:,]*"] { fileinto "1: ${1} 2: ${2} 3: ${3} 4: ${4} 5: ${5} 6: ${6} 7: ${7} 8: ${8}"; } } and using the mail below to test with.

[Dovecot] cram-md5 problem re-post
by Richard Stockton 03 Feb '09

03 Feb '09

I apparently did not post enough information the first time, so I am re-posting the original email with the requested configs. I just updated to dovecot 1.1.10 from 1.1.2 and now anyone using cram-md5 can't get authenticated. I am using mysql for passwords (in plain text) and home directories. Per some googling I tried to set (in /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf): # SQL database userdb sql { # Path for SQL configuration file, see doc/dovecot-sql.conf for example args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf } but that didn't help. And in any case people NOT using cram-md5 can authenticate just fine, both before and after I made that change. This worked "out of the box" under 1.1.2, but is broken now. Here's an example I pulled from the logs. dovecot: Jan 29 16:35:03 Info: auth-worker(default): sql(jennshinjo,xx.xx.xx.xx): SELECT home, uid, gid FROM users WHERE username = 'jennshinjo' AND domain = '' dovecot: Jan 29 16:35:03 Info: auth(default): prefetch(jennshinjo,xx.xx.xx.xx): success dovecot: Jan 29 16:35:03 Info: auth(default): master out: USER 1490 jennshinjo home=j/e/jennshinjo/Maildir/ uid=5000 gid=5000 home=j/e/jennshinjo/Maildir/ uid=5000 gid=5000 dovecot: Jan 29 16:35:03 Info: pop3-login: Internal login failure (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=<jennshinjo>, method=CRAM-MD5, rip=xx.xx.xx.xx, lip=10.255.0.11 Here is the "dovecot-sql.conf": :> more /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf driver = mysql connect = host=10.211.1.3 dbname=mail user=postfix password=p0stf1x9 default_pass_scheme = PLAIN password_query = SELECT password, home as userdb_home, 5000 as userdb_uid, 5000 as userdb_gid FROM mailbox where userid = '%n' Here are the results of "dovecot -n": :> dovecot -n # 1.1.10: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.18-128.el5 i686 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.3 (Tikanga) ext3 base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/ log_path: /var/log/pop.log info_log_path: /var/log/dovecot-info.log protocols: imap imaps pop3 pop3s listen(default): *:143 listen(imap): *:143 listen(pop3): *:110 ssl_listen(default): *:993 ssl_listen(imap): *:993 ssl_listen(pop3): *:995 ssl_cert_file: /etc/ssl/certs/server.crt ssl_key_file: /etc/ssl/private/server.key ssl_cipher_list: ALL:!LOW:!SSLv2 disable_plaintext_auth: no verbose_ssl: yes login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login login_greeting: Dovecot on mail-pop01.xxxxx.com ready. verbose_proctitle: yes mail_location: maildir:/mail/%h:INDEX=MEMORY mmap_disable: yes mail_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugins(default): mail_log mail_plugins(imap): mail_log mail_plugins(pop3): mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3 mail_log_max_lines_per_sec: 0 auth default: mechanisms: plain cram-md5 debug_passwords: yes process_size: 1024 passdb: driver: sql args: /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: sql args: /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: prefetch Any ideas appreciated.

[Dovecot] About behavior when I used mysql for dict quota backend
by hideck 03 Feb '09

03 Feb '09

Hi List, I of present dovecot 1.1.10 use it, and test dict quota backend and mysql. However, I am troubled so that it is IMAP4, and behavior when mysql fell is different from POP3. I become the error in Copy of Mail in IMAP4, but do not become the error in DELE of the POP3. Therefore I think that contradiction happens in database and real storage when mysql fell. I want an error to do it at the time of the DELE command of the POP3 if possible, but how will be it? Thank you for keeping company at my clumsy English. ---------------------------------------------------- # dovecot -n --------------------------- # 1.1.10: /etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5xen i686 CentOS release 5.2 (Final) protocols: imap pop3 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 mail_max_userip_connections(default): 100 mail_max_userip_connections(imap): 100 mail_max_userip_connections(pop3): 10 last_valid_uid: 65000 mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir mail_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugins(default): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(imap): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(pop3): quota mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 auth default: cache_size: 10 cache_ttl: 300 passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd socket: type: listen master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 user: dovecot group: dovecot plugin: quota: dict:user::proxy::quotadict quota_rule: *:storage=1536M quota_rule2: Trash:ignore dict: quotadict: mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-quota.conf --------------------------- mysql status --------------------------- mysql> SELECT username,current,path FROM quota WHERE username="test"; +----------+---------+----------------+ | username | current | path | +----------+---------+----------------+ | test | 1 | quota/messages | | test | 1460 | quota/storage | +----------+---------+----------------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec) --------------------------- # /etc/init.d/mysqld stop Connectting my server (IMAP4) syslog --------------------------- Feb 3 08:38:40 hideck dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<test>, method=PLAIN, rip=192.168.31.72, lip=192.168.0.1 Feb 3 08:38:46 hideck dovecot: dict: mysql: Connect failed to localhost (dovecot): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) - waiting for 75 seconds before retry Feb 3 08:38:46 hideck dovecot: dict: dict sql lookup failed: Not connected to database Feb 3 08:38:46 hideck dovecot: IMAP(test): Internal quota calculation error Feb 3 08:38:51 hideck dovecot: IMAP(test): Disconnected: Logged out bytes=357/1211 --------------------------- Connect Clients Log(IMAP4) --------------------------- * OK Dovecot ready. 0114 CAPABILITY * CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 SASL-IR SORT THREAD=REFERENCES MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT LITERAL+ IDLE CHILDREN NAMESPACE LOGIN-REFERRALS UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 QUOTA AUTH=PLAIN 0114 OK Capability completed. 0115 LOGIN ******** ******** 0115 OK Logged in. 0116 NAMESPACE * NAMESPACE (("" "."))

[Dovecot] Using dovecot sasl for authenticating in openldap
by Nathan Huesken 02 Feb '09

02 Feb '09

Hi, I am using dovecot imaps and exim, both authenticating using dovecot-sasl. To keep passwords in one place I would like to authenticate openldap users over dovecot-sasl. So looking at this page: http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/security.html I figure it could be done using Pass-Through authentication. For this, I need to create /usr/lib/sasl2/slapd.conf And adding a few config paremeters. This is a example mech_list: plain pwcheck_method: saslauthd saslauthd_path: /var/run/sasl2/mux I understand the mech_list parameter, but I have no Idea what to put in for the rest. Any help? Thanks!

But I have troubles with it: Right after start dovecot start spamming log with Error: dict: dict client: Broken handshake besides of GB's of lines above I have: Error: imap-login: Timeout waiting for handshake from auth server. my pid=18493, input bytes=0 And of course nothing works.

[Dovecot] Phone cannot receive mail suddenly
by Robin Atwood 02 Feb '09

02 Feb '09

Starting at midnight Feb 1 my phone can no longer fetch mail from Dovecot. It endlessly connects and reconnects as you can see in the log below. I have restarted dovecot, the phone, deleted /home/robinmail/mail, all to no avail. I have turned on debug output but it does not tell me anymore. I can connect and see the folder using the KMail imap client. Any idea how I can proceed with this? The phone is 192.168.1.57 (LAN) or 202.91.19.194 (GPRS) and Dovecot and KMail are on 192.168.1.2.
