[Dovecot] One dovecot, multiple addresses
by Nick Plante 09 Apr '06

09 Apr '06

There was a thread in February called "One dovecot, multiple domains" that I'd like to follow up on... I have a similar need; a hosted system with a couple IP aliases currently running dovecot for users at imap.domain1.com on one of those addresses. Now I need to also make it accessible via the name imap.domain2.com on a different address. Both "hosts" require SSL certs. They'll be using the same user auth source and have access to the same mailspools (although certain users will access theirs through domain1 and others through domain2). It sounds like dovecot doesn't support this sort of ip-based virtual hosting scheme right now. Is it possible to just configure two separate instances of the server, one bound to each virtual interface with their separate certs? Or are there issues with this poor man approach (contention, etc)? TIA; nap.

[Dovecot] problem authenticating passwd
by richard＠richard-brouwer.nl 08 Apr '06

08 Apr '06

Maybe you guys seen this question a thousand times but really I can't find a solution. So is there anybody who can give me a direction or a clue to solve my problem. I configured my dovecot as follows: protocols = imap pop3 imaps pop3s login_chroot = yes login_user = dovecot auth_verbose = yes auth default { mechanisms = plain passdb passwd { args = /etc/passwd } userdb passwd { args = /etc/passwd } user = root } The maillog gives me that there is password mismatch, but I'm 100 % sure that the password is correct. I allso looked in my /etc/passwd file and the user is there. The user is all so able to login the Linux system. My system is Fedora redhat RC 5. Dovecot is v1.0.beta2. I attached the last rules of my maillog. Is there anybody who can please help me. Thx in advance richard This is the tail of the maillog: Apr 8 10:58:12 host dovecot: Killed with signal 15 Apr 8 10:58:34 host dovecot: Dovecot v1.0.beta2 starting up Apr 8 10:59:09 host dovecot: auth(default): client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=POP3 lip=192.168.0.200 rip=192.168.0.104 resp=AHJpY2hhcmRAcmljaGFyZC1icm91d2VyLmNvbQBoYWxsbzUzOA== Apr 8 10:59:09 host dovecot: auth(default): passwd(richard(a)richard-brouwer.com,192.168.0.104): unknown user Apr 8 10:59:11 host dovecot: auth(default): client out: FAIL 1 user=richard(a)richard-brouwer.com Apr 8 11:00:00 host dovecot: auth(default): client in: AUTH 2 PLAIN service=POP3 lip=192.168.0.200 rip=192.168.0.104 resp=AHJpY2hhcmRAcmljaGFyZC1icm91d2VyLm5sAGhhbGxvNTM4 Apr 8 11:00:00 host dovecot: auth(default): passwd(richard(a)richard-brouwer.nl,192.168.0.104): password mismatch Apr 8 11:00:01 host dovecot: auth(default): client out: FAIL 2 user=richard(a)richard-brouwer.nl

[Dovecot] pop-before-smtp Dovecot pattern
by Bjorn Patterson 08 Apr '06

08 Apr '06

Hi, Having some problems with the default pattern in the pop-before-smtp.pl.conf file for dovecot. Also the one off the dovecot wiki doesn't seem to work and since I can't seem to figure out how these patterns work I hoping someone could help me out with a custom pattern. This is what my mail log looks like: Apr 8 23:30:40 nemesis dovecot: pop3-login: Login: user=<bjorn>, method=PLAIN, rip=::ffff:203.109.208.111, lip=::ffff:192.168.0.253 Any help would be much appreciated _________________________________________________ Regards: Bjorn Patterson Digitalsouth Networks ICC Technician HYPERLINK "http://www.digitalsouth.net.nz/"http://www.digitalsouth.net.nz [ When replying to this, please include a copy of the original message. ] -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

[Dovecot] plain auth problem with beta4
by Mark Davies 08 Apr '06

08 Apr '06

Using kmail with PLAIN authentication worked fine with beta3 but trying it with beta4 authentication fails. This is because kmail sends "username \0 username \0 password" in the authorization token and the new code to call auth_request_set_login_username() when supplied an authid must be returning failure (certainly commenting this code out returns to the beta3 behaviour of successfully authenticating). I had a quick look at the routine to see why it might be failing but didn't really work out what its supposed to do. cheers mark

[Dovecot] [Fwd: Imap Timeouts]
by Neilw 07 Apr '06

Hi guys, So is there resolution to my query below? Is this a bug in beta3? Thanks. Neil -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Imap Timeouts Date: Wed, 22 Mar 2006 16:56:21 +0200 From: Neil Wilson <neilw(a)dcdata.co.za> To: dovecot(a)dovecot.org Hi guys, I've got a client running 1.0.beta3 on SuSe 9.3 Everything has been running perfectly since it was installed about 6 months ago, but lately they've had issues with email clients not being able to connect to the IMAP server, until they close their clients(Thunderbird & Outlook) and then re-open them. They have roughly 70 users on their network, so it sounds like it could be too many active sessions at once, but I've tried changing a few things in the config, and so far nothing has resolved this. Any help would be appreciated. Regards.

[Dovecot] GSSAPI and virtual Users?
by S. Thias 06 Apr '06

06 Apr '06

Hi, is there a possibility to map login-names to allowed Kerberos-Principals? At the moment GSSAPI-authentication seems to work only if loginname and kerberos-principal are the same, or am I missing something? It would be really great to use GSSAPI-auth with virtual users. Thanks a lot! S. Thias
