[Dovecot] password schemes in dovecot
by Public 28 Jan '13

28 Jan '13

Hey there, I'm using the latest dovecot 2.1.13 In the wiki http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/PasswordSchemes BLF-CRYPT is listed, but i can't use it. "doveadm pw -l" doesn't show it. And i'm unsure about how I am supposed to use the different SHA schemes, since they always output different hashes for the same password. MD5 is working fine, but I'd rather not use it. Is the wiki outdated or how do i get BLF-CRYPT working? thanks, simon

[Dovecot] From Sendmail to Dovecot mdbox, what is missing.
by Torpey List 27 Jan '13

27 Jan '13

Sendmail 8.14.4 dovecot 2.0.9 I have sendmail working and it is sending mail to /var/mail/%u. I have dovecot working in that I can move emails into IMAP folders and I can send email through IMAP. I have set up dovecot to use mdbox based on the following: mail_location = mdbox:~/mail However, I seem to be lacking a key piece of information. Sendmail is sending the mail to /var/mail/%u as a mbox (single file for all emails) format. Dovecot wants to read the mail in mdbox (Multiple messages per file, but unlike mbox multiple files per mailbox.) So the two programs are not working together. So, I cannot get dovecot to read new emails at /var/mail/%u. So I tried changing to the following: mail_location = mdbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u However, dovecot complains that it is NOT a directory. That is because sendmail is sending as mbox format. I have tried two lines of “mail_location” but that did not work. example mail_location = mdbox:~/mail ----> for dovecot mail_location = mbox:INBOX=/var/mail/%u -----> for sendmail I have tried LMTP and dovecot-lda. LMTP – I could not see any difference with this added or not. Dovecot-lda – I have had issues getting it configured. Thanks for any help! Sendmail changes FEATURE(`local_procmail', `/usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda',`/usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -d $u') MODIFY_MAILER_FLAGS(`LOCAL', `-f') MAILER(procmail)dnl Here is dovecot configuration [root@nala mail]# dovecot -n # 2.0.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-279.14.1.el6.x86_64 x86_64 Scientific Linux release 6.3 (Carbon) auth_mechanisms = plain login mail_gid = mail mail_location = mdbox:~/mail mail_uid = mail mbox_write_locks = fcntl passdb { driver = pam } plugin { mail_log_events = delete undelete expunge copy mailbox_delete mailbox_rename mail_log_group_events = yes } service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { mode = 0600 user = mail } } service lmtp { inet_listener lmtp { address = 192.168.1.185 127.0.0.1 ::1 port = 24 } user = mail } ssl_cert = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = passwd } protocol lda { info_log_path = /var/log/maillog log_path = /var/log/maillog postmaster_address = postmaster(a)torpey.org }

[Dovecot] mbox INBOX out of sync (?)
by Tinguaro Barreno Delgado 26 Jan '13

26 Jan '13

Hello all, I've running a Dovecot's installation for several years without problems but since last system upgrade (Dec 26) I'm facing a kind of sync issue with the /var/mail/ inbox files. We have got mobile and desktops IMAP clients (mostly Mozilla Thunderbird). The problem is that /var/mail/ files (mbox) aren't updated: we can delete mail from clients but they persist in de /var/mail, so the same user can see the mail again from other IMAP client. Logs seems to be correct. Many thanks in advance.

[Dovecot] Dovecot unable to access the shadow file
by kenwood 25 Jan '13

25 Jan '13

I am installing Dovecot-2.1.13 on Slackware 13.37.0 for the first time to replace ipop3d and I have overcome all of the roadblocks as they have developed except this last one and I finally have to say “uncle”. The error messages that are showing up in the dovecot.log are as follows. Jan 24 12:27:27 tux2 dovecot: auth: Error: passwd-file /etc/shadow: open(/etc/shadow) failed: Permission denied (euid=202(dovecot) egid=202(dovecot) missing +r perm: /etc/shadow, we're not in group 43(shadow), dir owned by 0:0 mode=0755) Jan 24 12:27:27 tux2 dovecot: auth: passwd-file(user,192.168.10.2,<pw3xHwzUSQDAqAoC>): no passwd file: /etc/shadow Jan 24 12:27:29 tux2 dovecot: pop3-login: Warning: SSL alert: where=0x4008, ret=256: warning close notify [192.168.10.2] Jan 24 12:27:29 tux2 dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected (auth failed, 1 attempts in 2 secs): user=<user>, method=PLAIN, rip=192.168.10.2, lip=192.168.10.100, TLS: Disconnected, session=<pw3xHwzUSQDAqAoC> Based on what I have read the only user that should access the shadow file is root. With that in mind I looked at all the configuration and .ext files and the only file I could find that would indicate that root should be checking the shadow file is 10-master.conf. In that file it said the default service auth-worker was root but since it was apparently not working I removed the hash mark and made it explicit. It still didn’t work. As a last resort even though it was not good practice I tried adding user dovecot to the group shadow but that did not work either. It still says dovecot is not in the group shadow even though it is. Any suggestions? -- View this message in context: http://dovecot.2317879.n4.nabble.com/Dovecot-unable-to-access-the-shadow-fi… Sent from the Dovecot mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Dovecot] dovecot 2.1.13, proxy and nologin extras field
by Marco Giunta 24 Jan '13

24 Jan '13

Hi at all, in our test environment, I'm playing with dovecot 2.1.13 configured as imap/pop/managesieve proxy. It is configured to authenticate users with ldap and it works very well. Now, I'd like to temporary disable some users's login, because we are moving to another storage, and I wouldn't stop imap service at all.

[Dovecot] Permissions when running `dovecot --exec-mail imap`
by Tim Marston 24 Jan '13

24 Jan '13

Hi, I'm running dovecot 1.2.15, on Debian squeeze. /var/mail is owned by group "mail" with permissions "g+rwxs,o=". The mail_privileged_group setting is set to "mail". I am trying to access mail on a remote machine with mutt by tunnelling mutt though ssh and running `dovecot --exec-mail imap` on the mail server. But I frequently get errors in the mail server's logs about not being able to create dotlock files when accessing my INBOX this way. This makes sense -- I'm running dovecot as a regular user, so it isn't able to write to /var/mail as group "mail". I notice that on the dovecot wiki[1] it is suggested that sudo is used to set uid/gid before running `dovecot --exec-mail imap`. But I don't actually want to set the uid, just the gid. And I also have sudo disabled at the moment. So I was wondering about another solution... Would it be acceptable to setgid the dovecot executable and change it's group to "mail" (i.e., `chgrp mail dovecot` and `chmod g+s dovecot`)? Would this pose some kind of security risk? Would this actualy do what I want, or am I missing a bigger picture? Kind regards, [1] http://wiki.dovecot.org/PreAuth -- Tim Marston ed.am

[Dovecot] warning regarding quota and mboxes
by Andreas Meyer 23 Jan '13

23 Jan '13

Hello! We drive mboxes and maildirs and the dovecot-server is running very well and everthing is fine, but I get the following warning in the dovecot-lda-errors.log when a mail is delivered to a mbox. Jan 10 16:29:24 lda(archiv(a)bitcorner.de): Warning: quota: Namespace '' is not Maildir, skipping for Maildir++ quota This is what I defined in the dovecot.conf: mail_home = /var/spool/vhosts/%d/%n mail_location = mbox:~/:maildir:~/ mail_plugins = quota plugin { quota = maildir:User quota quota_rule = *:storage=500MB quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+10%% } Can I avoid the error above somehow? Namespaces are a bit mysterious for me at the moment. Greetings Andreas

[Dovecot] speed up dovecot IMAP server
by Bernics Gábor | Penta Unió Zrt. 23 Jan '13

Hello, I upgraded my dovecot server (1.2 -> 2.1), from debian backport because it was a little slow (wait 5-6 sec) when I opened some mail (but not every mail). Unfortunately, the mail open speed didn't increase. I think it's an index problem. Have you idea for fixing?

[Dovecot] Fixing bad maildir message sizes
by Richard Platel 23 Jan '13

23 Jan '13

Hello. As stated in my previous message, we have some old compressed maildir messages with incorrect sizes in the filename. These messages cause dovecot 2.x problems. I'm trying to write a script to crawl all our messages, check the actual message size and if necessary, fix the filename. However, when I do this, dovecot gives the message a new UID on next login. If I change the filename in dovecot-uidlist, dovecot still gives a new UID on next login. If I change dovecot-uidlist and delete the index, then the UID is preserved. Re-indexing our millions of mailboxes is not a great solution for us. Is there a good way to fix this?

[Dovecot] question on "doveadm user" and pass/userdb
by Gábor Lénárt 22 Jan '13

22 Jan '13

Hi, I'm about getting to know dovecot in details, I am about the command "doveadm user". The man page shows this example: userdb: jane uid : 8001 gid : 8001 home : /home/jane mail : sdbox:~/sdbox plugins : sieve quota_rule: *:storage=150M It seems to be nice, however I never got this only: ~# doveadm user lgb@office userdb: lgb@office That's all. The dovecot test configuration works otherwise via IMAP/POP3/LMTP nicely. What I guess that the lack of extra information (which would be needed by some scripts of mine, eg for getting user's home easily from shell scripts, as it's hash based, etc) is caused because I don't pass home (and/or other settings) back from userdb and/or passdb. However I do have these in global scope: mail_home = /mailstorage/%Ld/%Ln (yes, this is not hashed at all at the momement but it will be soon) mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir mail_uid = vmail mail_gid = vmail (... and also some global quota stuffs configured in plugin section) Now, I am a bit confused: even with passdb/userdb does not return with user home or GID/UID, dovecot knows these in case of pop3/imap/lmtp access, since these information can be "composed" from those settings. But then, wouldn't it possible so "doveadm user" shows those as well, like lmtp/pop3/imap can resolve those too? Honestly, it's a bit redundant to put needed information into user and pass attrs in every dbs (I have some) when dovecot knows those otherwise ... If I interpret "doveadm user"'s goal wrong (it's just for userdb/passdb query tool nothing more), is there any tool which works in this config, displaying extra information (at least user's home), or should I create some script which just repeats the functionality of dovecot's configured mail_home resolution? Thanks.

[Dovecot] Mail logger question
by Hungerburg 21 Jan '13

21 Jan '13

I use Dovecot simply as a way, to provide an e-mail archive for people on the LAN, where they can move messages into from within thunderbird. Mails are stored in a maildir of one system user where all the people know the password of. This was very easy to setup in ubuntu 12. Today I started using the mail_log plugin to provide an audit trail. Now I am looking for a light way, to get the log reflect the different people or principals. One way is, to create users with the same ID in the passwd and shadow files, but I'd rather have them in a separate file, something like a list of aliases for the system user. Can you suggest a simple way, without going virtual users? Below the relevant info on dovecot: $ dovecot --version 2.0.19 $ dovecot -n # 2.0.19: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.2.0-35-generic x86_64 Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS mail_plugins = " fts fts_squat mail_log notify" passdb { driver = pam } plugin { fts = squat fts_squat = partial=4 full=10 mail_log_events = save delete undelete expunge copy mailbox_delete mailbox_rename mail_log_fields = uid box msgid size from subject } protocols = " imap" ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key userdb { driver = passwd } Thank you all -- peter

[Dovecot] %d in configuration file does not work
by Jens Tobiska 19 Jan '13

19 Jan '13

I am trying to set up dovecot in a postfix virtual account/domains setting. In the configuration file I would like to use %d in two places, for: mail_location = /var/mail/vhosts/%d/%n and to specify the location of the respective passwd file: passdb passwd-file { args = /etc/auth/%d/shadow } Looking at the logs, %d is empty while %n works, so dovecot is looking for something in /var/mail/vhosts//myname and /etc/auth//shadow which don't exist. Replacing %d in dovecot.conf with the actual domain name works. So, the quesiton is, why is %d empty, and from where does it take its value?

[Dovecot] [PATCH] LMTP: Permit user IDs containing recipient_delimiter
by Ulrich Zehl 18 Jan '13

18 Jan '13

The Dovecot 2.1 LMTP server currently always strips the address extension from a recipient address (if recipient_delimiter is set), meaning user IDs cannot contain the recipient delimiter character, e.g. "user+foo" is not supported. This was surprising for me, as Postfix behaves differently in this regard: It first looks up "user+foo", and only then "user". The attached patch works for me and brings Dovecot's behavior in line with Postfix. Please let me know what you think about it.

[Dovecot] possible: two private namespaces with different quota?
by Steffen Kaiser 17 Jan '13

17 Jan '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, in thread "how to setup different quota for multiple namespaces" I tried to get an additional, private namespace "archive" with yet another quota. Every message, regardless if delivered to INBOX or archive, counts for both namespaces, the default one and the archive one. Furthermore the dict records the quota of the archive namespace as user "ns=archive". Because the quota_rules does not accept "*", I see no way to have two or more private quota roots. Could one improve quota_root_rule_find(struct quota_root_settings *root_set, const char *name) { struct quota_rule *rule; array_foreach_modifiable(&root_set->rules, rule) { char *p = strchr(rule->mailbox_name, '\0'); if(p && p > rule->mailbox_name + 1 && p[-1] == '*' ) { /* compare box* */ if(memcmp(rule->mailbox_name, name, p - rule->mailbox_name - 2) == 0) return rule; } else if (strcmp(rule->mailbox_name, name) == 0) return rule; } return NULL; } So one could add a relative rule for the default private namespace.

[Dovecot] Benchmarking: Dovecot vs Courier. Courier wins as POP3 server
by Alexandr Sabitov 17 Jan '13

17 Jan '13

Hi All, I have compared Dovecot performance to Courier and it appears that as a POP3 server Dovecot is slower in 2 times but as an IMAP server it is faster in 1.5 times. The same node (16CPUs), testing time is 30 min, please see results and dovecot configs attached. Benchmark software is MStone used by Sendmail Inc so is is quite reliable. I do not see anything else to tweak in Dovecot to increase POP3 performance. Can we all have some tips to improve it please ?

Hello. I'm created two installations of dovecot-2.2.beta1 with identical config. Without replication each server works good. With replication enabled every changes are replicated between these ones. When I probe remove or move some email in another folder it is disappears and reappears again and again in source folder and appears in destination folder.

[Dovecot] FTS what to use ?
by Erik Colson 16 Jan '13

16 Jan '13

Hi I'm currently using dovecot 2.0 with squat fts which does a nice job. However I'm thinking about upgrading to dovecot 2.1 and the wiki isn't clear about which fts can or should be used with it. Is squat support dead ? As the wiki mentions that the config syntax is obsolete, I'm not sure if squat is obsolete also ? If not, what is the new syntax ? But in the case squat is dead.. what is the recommended alternative nowadays ? I don't really need substring search, but it is a nice thing to have. PS : I will be using dovecot 2.1 with maildir thanks -- erik

[Dovecot] Dovecot subtree problem in ldap/ad search
by Marcus Jüttner 15 Jan '13

15 Jan '13

Hallo Im trying to set up an Postfix and Dovecot mailserver with ActiveDirectory interation. Postfix is doing well and even Dovecot does ... but I have one big problem! My AD Accounts ar stored in two Subfolders ou=Bischoff Benutzer LTT, dc=bischoff-ltt, dc=local ou=Bischoff Benutzer Nbg, dc=bischoff-ltt, dc=local If i use "base = ou=Bischoff Benutzer LTT, dc=bischoff-ltt, dc=local" everything is fine but users from "ou=Bischoff Benutzer Nbg" will not work. Thats ok so far. But when i use "base = dc=bischoff-ltt, dc=local" none user will be found even if i use "scope = subtree". Postfix has no problem with the base set to "dc=bischoff-ltt, dc=local". Ldapsearch has no problem too. I use Version 2.1.12 on Gentoo Linux with a 2003R2 AD Is scope=subtree broken in Dovecot? Must I set some special parameters for Windows AD? My Config: hosts = 192.168.1.98 dn = bischoff-ltt\ldapsearch dnpass = xxxxx auth_bind = yes ldap_version = 3 scope = subtree base = dc=bischoff-ltt, dc=local #base = ou=Bischoff Benutzer LTT, dc=bischoff-ltt, dc=local #base = ou=Bischoff Benutzer Nbg, dc=bischoff-ltt, dc=local user_attrs = =home=/var/dovecot/%Ln/,=mail=maildir:/var/dovecot/%Ln/ user_filter = (&(ObjectClass=person)(sAMAccountName=%u)) pass_filter = (&(ObjectClass=person)(sAMAccountName=%u)) Thanks for Help Marcus

[Dovecot] Define custom ldap libraries when building Dovecot
by Nikolaos Milas 15 Jan '13

15 Jan '13

Hello, I would like to compile Dovecot using custom ldap libraries, located at a particular custom system location. How should I alter the config process to specify that the include dir is "/usr/local/openldap/include" and the lib dir is "/usr/local/openldap/lib64" and not the standard ones (/usr/include/ and /usr/lib64/ respectively) on RHEL/CentOS 5 (x86_64). Note that all of the above files/folders exist on the file system at the same time. The idea is to build dovecot against current openldap v2.4.x libraries and not against the available (by the OS) ancient openldap v.2.3.x libs. Please, advise. Thanks, Nick

[Dovecot] Zlib maildir reindex bug?
by Richard Platel 14 Jan '13

14 Jan '13

Hi Running dovecot 2.1.7 (from debian repo). We have some old compressed maildir messages with the wrong S= size in the filename (our fault). If I delete index files, log in to the mailbox and try to FETCH the bad message, dovecot complains about the incorrect message size, attempts to fix the filename and disconnects the client. However, it changes the filesize to the size of the message on disk, not the message's uncompressed size. For subsequent clients, the FETCH works, but dovecot logs an error (and maybe re-indexes the mailbox?) and the message UID changes.

[Dovecot] sieve reject to wrong address?
by Felix Rubio Dalmau 14 Jan '13

14 Jan '13

Hi all, I have succeed in setting up postfix (to send/receive emails), dovecot to access the folders via IMAP, all using TLS and sieve under dovecot to manage filters. I have also set up a sieve rule to reject those mails whose size exceeds 2 MB... and I'm really proud of everything, because it is my first time!! However, when rejecting the mail, instead of sending a mail saying "I'm sorry blah, blah, blah" to the originary sender, it is sent to the final recipient (that is, me). Do you know how to solve it? Is it a problem from sieve or dovecot? I think is some misconfiguration of my dovecot installation, because the sieve rule is: ################ if size :over 2M { reject text: Ho sento, no accepto cap correu de mes de 2MB de tamany. Sisplau, puja els fitxers mes grans a un servidor i envia'm un link. Gracies. I'm sorry, I do not accept mail over 2 MB in size. Please upload larger files to a server and send me a link. Thanks. . ; } ################ dovecot log looks like: Jan 14 17:34:16 server dovecot: lda(felix@server): sieve: msgid=<201301141734.16203.felix@server>: rejected message from <felix@server> (reject) Jan 14 17:34:16 server postfix/cleanup[2011]: 2B59CB59: message- id=<dovecot-1358181256-51155-0@server> Jan 14 17:34:16 server postfix/pipe[2012]: 311AF4E0: to=<felix@server>, relay=dovecot, delay=1, delays=0.81/0.02/0/0.19, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered via dovecot service) Thank you! -- Felix Rubio Dalmau

Hello, Due to a misstake I got many duplicate emails in my inbox folder. They are stored in maildir format, so my initial thought was do simply md5sum the mail files and remove the duplicates. This doesnt work because the mails has differinf uids. Any other hints? -- Joakim Verona

[Dovecot] Dovecot SASL Client support?
by Charles Marcus 14 Jan '13

14 Jan '13

Hi all, I seem to recall mention of SASL client support either being added, but can't remember for sure. The wiki says nothing about Client support (now, or in the future)... http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Sasl So - is there support for it now? If not, is it planned for anytime soon? Thanks, -- Best regards, Charles

[Dovecot] load sbub-mailbox
by mourik jan heupink 14 Jan '13

14 Jan '13

Hi, We're about to migrate to dovecot (2.1.7 on wheezy), and I have a question about mail migration. Our 'old' imap mailserver will remain available, and has the same usernames/passwords as our future dovecot mailserver. The question: Is there an easy way to make the old mailboxes available under a subfolder (for example 'oldmail') in the mailboxes on the new mailserver? A bit like mounting an old homedirectory under an 'oldfiles' directory on a new fileserver. This way our users could access/migrate whatever folders they choose themselves, and we would not have migrate all messages to dovecot using scripts like imapcopy, etc. Perhaps using the proxy functionality..? Hope I make myself clear...? Regards, Mourik Jan

[Dovecot] I can not receive any mail
by Felix Rubio Dalmau 14 Jan '13

14 Jan '13

Hi everybody I'm trying to set-up an IMAPS mail server using dovecot (version 2.1.7) with virtual email accounts for my family. I have already ran through the mysql phase of the virtual email configuration (and I'm quite confident it works well, because I can send mails from the server using postfix to gmail, e.g.). However, I am stucked configuring dovecot. I don't know why is it not running properly. The symptoms are: a) When I connect by using my mail client (kmail), I don't get any error. b) When I ask kmail to check what authentication services are supported by the server, I see that it is able to connect to te server by looking to the server log. c) However, Inbox folder does never show up :S d) When I send any mail from gmail to my server, It is always refused under the reason that there is not such user in the machine (I am sure it is), and nothing shows up in the server log. Here is my configuration, just in case somebody can give it a look to help me figure out what's going on :S Thank you very much in advance. # 2.1.7: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.6.9-1 x86_64 Debian 6.0.6 ext4 auth_cache_size = 1 M auth_debug = yes auth_mechanisms = plain login auth_verbose = yes auth_worker_max_count = 2 base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/ listen = * log_timestamp = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S " login_greeting = Dovecot ready. mail_debug = yes mail_location = maildir:/home/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir mail_privileged_group = vmail namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = type = private } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } plugin { sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve } postmaster_address = postmaster(a)mysite.org protocols = " imap" service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } } service imap-login { inet_listener imaps { port = 993 ssl = yes } process_min_avail = 0 service_count = 1 } service imap { process_limit = 5 } ssl = required ssl_cert = </etc/postfix/ssl/cert.pem ssl_key = </etc/postfix/ssl/cert.key userdb { args = uid=5000 gid=5000 home=/home/vmail/%d/%n allow_all_users=yes driver = static } verbose_ssl = yes protocol lda { mail_plugins = sieve } -- Felix Rubio Dalmau

[Dovecot] E-mail not being processed into Dovecot folders

I have a new CentOS 6 server running Dovecot 2.0.9 It has current patches from CentOS. Pasted below are the version and output from dovecot -n When I run mail -s "test" username test <ctrl-D> mail is written to /var/spool/mail/username and not to /home/username/Maildir/ The user's client software, Thunderbird, logs in but since mail is not written to Maildir it thinks there is nothing (see paste below from /var/log/maillog) How do I get sendmail or what ever MTA processes mail to write to Maildir rather than /var/spool/sendmail?

[Dovecot] Anyone using dovecot obox?
by list＠airstreamcomm.net 14 Jan '13

14 Jan '13

Just looking for some input from other users of the obox (object storage) backend from dovecot.fi. - What challenges/problem were you trying to overcome/solve by using obox? - What kind of architecture did you deploy using obox? (e.g. distributed object storage for performance, or distributed for availability, geographic distribution of email services, etc.) - What complexities, single points of failure, documentation omissions can you highlight having deployed the obox storage architecture? - Did the obox backend support your email services as well as you expected or more? - How was your interaction with Doveoct.fi? Thanks in advance.

[Dovecot] Installing Dovecot on Gentoo
by Christian Rößner 14 Jan '13

14 Jan '13

Hi, I have an already working dovecot server on Ubuntu 10.04 with self-created packages version 2.1.13. This setup is working prefect. Now that I do not wish to continue using Ubuntu (to much work for Upgrading), I decided to switch to Gentoo, as I had made best experiences in the past… I have installed Dovecot on Gentoo and I copied over all my configs and certs and stuff. Also created a user vmail with identical uid/gid and also checked all permissions for the certificate stuff. Dovecot starts. I also can connect to it. But when trying to login, I get errors: ------------------------------------------------------- telnet localhost 143 Trying ::1... Connected to localhost.

[Dovecot] dovecot and cacti (snmp ?)
by mancyborg＠gmail.com 10 Jan '13

10 Jan '13

Hi All, I've put online a postfix+dovecot+mysql+roundcube server that will grow till serving around 1500 accounts. I've installed the usual cacti graphs, plus the beautiful percona suite for mysql's cacti plus some graphs for iops and iostat. I was lurking around for the best solution to graph dovecot usage, the most detailed possible, in order to prevent and foresee problems. I'm finding sparse results, I'm not sure which one is the most current / complete. Do you have any suggestions ? Thank you very much for supporting, regards and have a nice day, Mike

[Dovecot] problems with sieve
by Carsten Laun-De Lellis 10 Jan '13

10 Jan '13

Hi all I am running a simple mail server on ubuntu 12.04LTS with postfix 2.9.3 and dovecot 2.1.10. Since this morning sieve doesn't work anymore. I changed the sieve script forth and back but sieve is not working. I also replaced the sieve file with the backup, but no success. But I can't any error messages in the log files indicating any problem with sieve. The only thing I found is: Jan 10 00:03:26 vmd187 dovecot: lda(carsten.delellis(a)delellis.net): sieve: msgid=<12155505.mmailer335539222(a)fritz.box>: stored mail into mailbox 'Fritz!Box' -- with working sieve Jan 10 13:52:29 vmd187 dovecot: lda(carsten.delellis(a)delellis.net): msgid=<1898328495.2554803.1357821905269.JavaMail.app(a)ela4-app2316.prod>: saved mail to INBOX -- with sieve not working As you can see that after dovecot: lda(carsten.delellis(a)delellis.net): the sieve tag is missing. I have also attached my settings from 90-sieve.conf from dovecot configuration. ## ## Settings for the Sieve interpreter ## # Do not forget to enable the Sieve plugin in 15-lda.conf and 20-lmtp.conf # by adding it to the respective mail_plugins= settings. plugin { # The path to the user's main active script. # sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve = /vmail/%d/%n/dovecot.sieve # A path to a global sieve script file, which gets executed ONLY # if user's private Sieve script doesn't exist.

[Dovecot] Confused about "Authentication Mechanism" and "Password Schemes"
by Thomas Pries 10 Jan '13

10 Jan '13

Hi, I am currently setting up a Mailserver and decided to use Dovecot as IMAP/POP3-Server. I read the wiki an thought about how to transmit and store the passwords (I want to use a MySQL-database). I want to use encrypted transmission and encrypted storage. The wiki says: "If you want to use only one non-plaintext mechanism, you can store the passwords using the mechanism's own password scheme. " Ok, one secure mechanism is acceptable in my scenario and the wiki gives a list of supported authentication mechanisms and a list of supported password schemes. But I am missing the relation between the two lists, which mechanism expects which storage scheme? Did I overlooked any easy answer (other then "read the RFCs"). Best Regards Thomas

[Dovecot] v2.2.beta1 released
by Timo Sirainen 10 Jan '13

10 Jan '13

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/beta/dovecot-2.2.beta1.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/beta/dovecot-2.2.beta1.tar.gz.sig Lots of fixes since 2.2.alpha1, especially related to dsync. Also dsync now supports syncing private message flags when INDEXPVT is used. Here's again the list of all the major changes in v2.2: * When creating home directories, the permissions are copied from the parent directory if it has setgid-bit set. For full details, see http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Permissions * "doveadm auth" command was renamed to "doveadm auth test" * IMAP: ID command now advertises server name as Dovecot by default. It was already trivial to guess this from command replies. * dovecot.index.cache files can be safely accessed only by v2.1.11+. Older versions may think they're corrupted and delete them. + Implemented IMAP MOVE and BINARY extensions + Implemented IMAP CATENATE, URLAUTH and URLAUTH=BINARY extensions (by Stephan Bosch). + Implemented IMAP NOTIFY extension. Requires mailbox_list_index=yes to be enabled. + Redesigned and rewritten dsync. The new design makes the syncing faster, more reliable and more featureful. The new dsync protocol isn't backwards compatible with old dsync versions (but is designed to be forwards compatible with future versions). + All mailbox formats now support per-user message flags for shared mailboxes by using a private index. It can be enabled by adding :INDEXPVT=<path> to mail location. This should be used instead of :INDEX also for Maildir/mbox to improve performance. + Improved mailbox list indexes. They should be usable now, although still disabled by default. + Added LAYOUT=index. The mailbox directories are created using their GUIDs in the filesystem, while the actual GUID <-> name mapping exists only in the index. + LMTP proxy: Implemented XCLIENT extension for passing remote IP address through proxy.

[Dovecot] Squat FTS plugin not kicking in
by Frerich Raabe 09 Jan '13

09 Jan '13

Hi, I'm running Dovecot 2.1.12 on FreeBSD. I configured Dovecot to use the Squat plugin to provide faster full-text searches. The output of 'dovecot -n' is attached to this mail. However, I just noticed that this plugin doesn't seem to kick in. A raw telnet session seems to confirm this: [..] . SEARCH BODY abcdefg * OK Searched 57% of the mailbox, ETA 0:06 * SEARCH 3425 6254 14710 . OK Search completed (17.262 secs). . SEARCH BODY abcdefg * OK Searched 63% of the mailbox, ETA 0:05 * SEARCH 3425 6254 14710 . OK Search completed (18.651 secs). [..] A SEARCH BODY command doesn't create the dovecot.index.search or dovecot.index.search.uids files mentioned on http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/FTS/Squat . Also, two subsequent SEARCH BODY invocations don't seem to be any different as far as search time goes. I checked the logs but couldn't see anything which is related, except: Jan 8 21:36:10 imap2 dovecot: indexer-worker(frerich): Indexed 0 messages in INBOX Does anybody have some idea how to get more logging out of index-worker, or whether there's a flaw in my configuration? -- Frerich Raabe - raabe(a)froglogic.com www.froglogic.com - Multi-Platform GUI Testing

Hello everyone and Happy 2013! I have a situation -- the first ever I have come across -- which I don't understand. A friend was/is running Postfix and Dovecot - with default configs - nothing was ever changed :-) [root@mail home]# dovecot --version 0.99.11 Anyway, he had a problem with a user mailbox which I wasn't able to diagnose and fix easily. maillog showed: Jan 9 16:11:29 mail imap-login: Login: userx [::ffff:127.0.0.1] Jan 9 16:11:29 mail imap(userx): file lib.c: line 37 (nearest_power): assertion failed: (num <= ((size_t)1 << (BITS_IN_SIZE_T-1))) Jan 9 16:11:29 mail dovecot: child 25217 (imap) killed with signal 6 Jan 9 16:12:03 mail imap-login: Login: userx [::ffff:127.0.0.1] Jan 9 16:12:03 mail imap(userx): file lib.c: line 37 (nearest_power): assertion failed: (num <= ((size_t)1 << (BITS_IN_SIZE_T-1))) Jan 9 16:12:03 mail dovecot: child 25229 (imap) killed with signal 6 Jan 9 16:13:15 mail pop3-login: Login: userx [::ffff:192.168.0.55] Jan 9 16:13:15 mail pop3(userx): file lib.c: line 37 (nearest_power): assertion failed: (num <= ((size_t)1 << (BITS_IN_SIZE_T-1))) My aim is not to fix the above. I have reconfigured both Postfix and Dovecot to use Maildir now and things are fine (not securitywise, but I don't care about that) for now. However, I'd like to migrate old mail for some users, but I don't know how to go about this, given the mailbox format, which I don't understand: Here is what a typical one looks like: [root@mail home]# ls -al johndoe/mail/.imap/ total 24 drwx------ 6 johndoe users 4096 May 27 2010 . drwx------ 3 johndoe users 4096 May 27 2010 .. drwx------ 2 johndoe users 4096 May 27 2010 Drafts drwx------ 2 johndoe users 4096 Jan 9 15:46 INBOX drwx------ 2 johndoe users 4096 May 27 2010 Sent drwx------ 2 johndoe users 4096 May 27 2010 Trash [root@mail home]# ls -al johndoe/mail/.imap/INBOX/ total 180 drwx------ 2 johndoe users 4096 Jan 9 15:46 . drwx------ 6 johndoe users 4096 May 27 2010 .. -rw------- 1 johndoe users 5 Dec 18 2007 .customflags -rw------- 1 johndoe users 10272 Jan 9 15:46 .imap.index -rw------- 1 johndoe users 132774 Jan 9 11:27 .imap.index.data -rw------- 1 johndoe users 5136 Sep 26 2011 .imap.index.log -rw------- 1 johndoe users 9404 Jan 8 18:44 .imap.index.tree [root@mail home]# ls -al johndoe/mail/.imap/Sent/ total 36 drwx------ 2 johndoe users 4096 May 27 2010 . drwx------ 6 johndoe users 4096 May 27 2010 .. -rw------- 1 johndoe users 5 May 27 2010 .customflags -rw------- 1 johndoe users 1608 May 27 2010 .imap.index -rw------- 1 johndoe users 10264 May 27 2010 .imap.index.data -rw------- 1 johndoe users 2576 May 27 2010 .imap.index.log -rw------- 1 johndoe users 1556 May 27 2010 .imap.index.tree [root@mail home]# ls -al johndoe/mail/.imap/Drafts/ total 36 drwx------ 2 johndoe users 4096 May 27 2010 . drwx------ 6 johndoe users 4096 May 27 2010 .. -rw------- 1 johndoe users 5 May 27 2010 .customflags -rw------- 1 johndoe users 1608 May 27 2010 .imap.index -rw------- 1 johndoe users 10264 May 27 2010 .imap.index.data -rw------- 1 johndoe users 2576 May 27 2010 .imap.index.log -rw------- 1 johndoe users 1556 May 27 2010 .imap.index.tree [root@mail home]# ls -al johndoe/mail/.imap/Trash/ total 44 drwx------ 2 johndoe users 4096 May 27 2010 . drwx------ 6 johndoe users 4096 May 27 2010 .. -rw------- 1 johndoe users 5 May 27 2010 .customflags -rw------- 1 johndoe users 1608 May 27 2010 .imap.index -rw------- 1 johndoe users 17950 May 27 2010 .imap.index.data -rw------- 1 johndoe users 2576 May 27 2010 .imap.index.log -rw------- 1 johndoe users 1556 May 27 2010 .imap.index.tree How can I migrate these mails into /home/johndoe/Maildir/ ??

[Dovecot] Dsync didn't updates automatically
by Breno Moreira 08 Jan '13

08 Jan '13

Hi, I'm trying to use the Dsync cluster feature in a simple setup, without director, but I'm having some troubles. First of all, I want to know if this functionality syncs the mailbox when the user receive a mail or only when the dovecot starts? Reading the Dovecot mailing list and the design description for a dsync-replicated Dovecot cluster, I understood that it should sync every time a new mail arrives, but it isn't happening in my system. So, can I do this update automatically? If yes, why is it not working properly? Maybe is my configuration files or maybe I'm confusing the capability of this feature. I'm using Dovecot 2.1.7 included in the Debian Wheezy, with virtual users in a MySQL database, Moreover, I have the following configuration: mail_plugins = $mail_plugins notify replication service aggregator { # give enough permissions for mail processes fifo_listener replication-notify-fifo { user = vmail #mode = 0666 } unix_listener replication-notify { user = vmail #mode = 0666 } } service replicator { # start replication at startup process_min_avail = 1 } plugin { # host1 replicates to host2 #mail_replica = remote:vmail at 10.127.0.2 # host2 replicates to host1 mail_replica = remote:vmail@10.127.0.5 } dsync_remote_cmd = ssh -l vmail %{host} doveadm dsync-server -u%u -l%{lock_timeout} -n%{namespace} service doveadm { # if you're using a single virtual user, set this to # start ssh as vmail (not root) user = vmail } service config { unix_listener config { user = vmail } } The vmail user has rsa id's in both servers, so it can do ssh connections without asking for password. I appreciate your help. Best Regards, -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Breno Moreira "I have no idols. I admire work, dedication and competence." Ayrton Senna

Hi, I'm unable to get past the subject error trying to setup dovecot 2.1.10 on FreeBSD 6.4: right after login the server closes the connection (testing with telnet) I've tried manualy chown()ing auth-master to 666, so permission issues should be ruled out.

[Dovecot] Access to deleted mails in mdbox storage
by Wolfgang.Friebel＠desy.de 08 Jan '13

08 Jan '13

Hi Timo, we are currently running dovecot 2.1.10 using mdbox storage. Sometimes we get requests from users to restore accidentally deleted mails. If the mails got deleted before a backup was made, such mails could of course not be restored from backup. One option to help users in this respect would be to use the lazy expunge plugin. On the other hand I have seen, that the deleted mails stay intact in the mdbox storage until a doveadm purge has been performed. Therefore without using the plugin it is in principle possible to get access to any deleted mails. As in our case the expunge runs once a week while the backup is done daily we can basically recover all mails ever received. My question: doveadm has currently no command similar to doveadm search or fetch to get to deleted mails. Would it be useful to have such a command? As a proof of concept I wrote a little script to mimic the doveadm fetch as closely as possible given the limited amount of information in the mdbox/storage/m.* files and could indeed get access to deleted mails. Do you regard such a procedure (within doveadm) useful or would you recommend nevertheless using the lazy expunge plugin? I am aware of the fact that this is a solution for mdbox storage only. -- Wolfgang Friebel Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY Phone/Fax: +49 33762 77372/216 Platanenallee 6 Mail: Wolfgang.Friebel AT desy.de D-15738 Zeuthen Germany

[Dovecot] 2 node dovecot
by Lazy 08 Jan '13

08 Jan '13

Hi, We run dovecot 2.1 on 2 nodes with shared nfs storage. Index files are kept on local disk. Second node is usually used only for email snapshots access. If primary node fails it is configured to take place of the primary imap server. Snapshots are additional namespaces with mail from various points in time. We need a way to easly copy multiple messages from snapshots to current mailboxes. It would be best to make current mailbox available as another namespace so one would simply copy messages from one folder to another. Is it safe ? There will be times when given user is writing to the same nfs based Maildir mailbox from 2 nodes both of them having separate index files. What will happen if already present message gets copied back from the snapshot ? Regards, Michał Grzędzicki

[Dovecot] Director and forwarding LDAP user as Master user
by Alexandr Sabitov 08 Jan '13

08 Jan '13

Hello guys, Would you be able to help me with this little issue. I bet someone has the same config so if you can copy-paste it I will very appreciate it. So main idea is to enable Dovecot director to authenticate a LDAP user with plain or encrypted password and send the user to back-end Dovecot server after the authentication. According to Wiki it is only possible if we use the master user to communicate to the back-end server. On the back-end Dovecot server it is working fine, I can log in as normal user/user_password or as user*masteruser/master_password. The back-end config is: auth_master_user_separator = * passdb { driver = passwd-file args = /usr/local/dovecot/etc/dovecot/passwd.masterusers master = yes pass = yes } passdb { driver = ldap args = /usr/local/dovecot/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext } userdb { driver = ldap args = /usr/local/dovecot/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext } Now front-end: how to get director forward the user to the back-end after authentication on the director? With my director config the user stays on the director all the time: passdb { driver = static args = proxy=y master=masteruser pass=master_password destuser=%u*masteruser } passdb { driver = ldap args = /usr/local/dovecot/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext } userdb { driver = ldap args = /usr/local/dovecot/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext } The only way to forward the user is to setup nopassword=y in args of static passdb but in that case the user will be authenticated on the backend but not on the director... What do I missing ? Please help me Best Regards, Alexandr Sabitov

That hasn't been my experience, but maybe because the non-optional stuff are what I need. For example, my configure for v2.1.x summarizes Install prefix . : /opt/dovecot File offsets ... : 64bit I/O polling .... : poll I/O notifys .... : none SSL ............ : yes (OpenSSL) GSSAPI ......... : no passdbs ........ : static passwd passwd-file checkpassword : -shadow -pam -bsdauth -sia -ldap -sql -vpopmail userdbs ........ : static prefetch passwd passwd-file checkpassword : -ldap -sql -vpopmail -nss SQL drivers .... : : -pgsql -mysql -sqlite Full text search : squat : -lucene -solr A few auth methods, which even if you don't use, is a nice fallback for exceptions or niche caches, no dbs, one mandatory text search method.

Hi, I get "Unknown scheme: BLF-CRYPT" messages if I try to use Blowfish-encrypted passwords, even though it is supposed to be supported. I'm on 2.1.7, Debian Squeeze backports. Do you have any information whether Blowfish is supported with Debian Squeeze crypt(), or is there any other knobs I can turn on to make this algorithm available? Thanks, Kristof

I'm running Debian squeeze i386 (kernel 2.6.32-5-686) and have installed dovecot-imapd and dovecot-common with synaptic and edited /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf to make sure it has the right protocols and listen instructions.

My reading of all of this is that the dovecot daemon is up and running, that it's listening correctly on 143 and 993 and that I have to do something else to get authorisation even to start the IMAP dialogue with the server. I would like to get it working and locked to SSL only but thought I should start with both unencrypted and encrypted. Can someone help me or point me to the bits of documentation or good web howto or the like that I've missed? TIA, Chris (long term Debian user but it's some years since I last ran my own mail server and I'm a total newby to imap and dovecot)

[Dovecot] wrong authentication for local delivery

Hi all there, I have a postfix/dovecot environment running with ldap authentication. I am able to deliver e-Mails to the internet and also receive them via fetchmail. I have a pure local domain (av.loc). Just for internal purpuse. For all mails where destination is a local mailbox, as for all of the local domain, delivery does not work. Here I can show some logs of such a process: +++ Here the process starts (I have sent an e-Mail to myself).

[Dovecot] dovecot as layer between postfix and thunderbird
by martin svensson 05 Jan '13

05 Jan '13

Hello, im all new to this but feel i want to have a dedicated server to handle my mails from Gmail and Hotmail Basically, i installed SMS, superb Mini Server (based on slackware), and with that default install i got: dovecot, postfix, fetchmail and sendmail. The postfix part seems to work according to a "telnet localhost 25", now i want to procede with dovecot, as i understand it, its the middle layer between (in my case) postfix and thunderbird. What i expect in the very end is a dedicated server who regulary checks and fetches mails, and lets me have all contacts info in the (already up and running) LDAP server. When i start thunderbird, i want it to go grab those mails from my local machine I am, ofcourse all over manpages, HOWTOs, guides and google, but would certainly appriciate further help and points in the right direction My apologises for any weird beginner mistakes in this post

[Dovecot] Non-standard fields?
by Attila Nagy 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

Hi, Non-standard fields are mentioned here: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/Maildir and they are stated as currently not used. Questions: - am I right that if they will be used, they will be key=value pairs, like fields in the base filename? Like: 1035478339.27041_118.foo.org,S=1000,W=1030:2,S,X=12,A=something - or are they supposed to be flags, like: 1035478339.27041_118.foo.org,S=1000,W=1030:2,S,ABCD - are there any plans to utilize these? Thanks,

[Dovecot] Dovecot Virtual Users with Sendmail
by DormitionSkete＠hotmail.com 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

I'm trying to get Dovecot working with Virtual Users and Sendmail on OpenIndiana 151a7. OpenIndiana is the Open Source continuation of OpenSolaris after Oracle tried to kill it off a couple of years ago shortly after acquiring Sun Microsystems. I'm not sure if this is so much a Dovecot problem, as much of a Sendmail problem. I thought this would probably be a better list to start with, though. If not, please let me know. I initially used this Dovecot wiki page to approach this: Simple Virtual User Installation http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/SimpleVirtualInstall I had to make few minor changes, but I don't think anything significant to the problem I'm having. I can log into SquirrelMail with both virtual users, and with system users. I can send mail to system users from both virtual and system users. I can see the mail that I sent in the Sent Messages folder for both types of users. I just can't send mail to virtual users. When I try to, I get the following message: ERROR: Message not sent. Server replied: Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable 550 5.1.1 <dswebstore@localhost>... User unknown My configuration info is as follows: systemuser@openindiana:~# /usr/local/sbin/dovecot --version 2.1.12 systemuser@openindiana:~# /usr/local/sbin/dovecot -n # 2.1.12: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: SunOS 5.11 i86pc auth_verbose = yes base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/ disable_plaintext_auth = no first_valid_uid = 101 info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-info.log log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log mail_location = mbox:/home/vmail/%u/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u passdb { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/passwd driver = passwd-file } pop3_uidl_format = %g protocols = imap pop3 service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { group = vmail mode = 0600 user = vmail } } ssl = no userdb { args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/home/vmail/%u driver = static } protocol lda { postmaster_address = systemuser@localhost } --- My dovecot password file looks something like this, though changed for obvious security reasons: systemuser:{PLAIN} systemuserPASS virtualuser1:{PLAIN}virtualuser1PASS virtualuser2:{PLAIN}virtualuser2PASS --- I read on this page that I needed to put the following in my sendmail dovecot.m4 file: Dovecot LDA with Sendmail http://wiki2.dovecot.org/LDA/Sendmail So this is my dovecot.m4 file, which shows up in my sendmail.cf file after recompiling my sendmail.mc file. ######################*****############## ### DOVECOT Mailer specification ### ##################*****################## Mdovecot, P=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda, F=DFMPhnu9, S=EnvFromSMTP/HdrFromSMTP, R=EnvToSMTP/HdrFromSMTP, T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix, A=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -d $u --- Finally, this is my sendmail.mc file: divert(-1) # # Copyright (c) 1983 Eric P.

I did not realize you wanted me to actually send you the logs. I thought you only meant for me to look to see if there was anything helpful in them. They do not show much.

[Dovecot] clucene-config.h location
by Dimitri 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

By deafult, CLucene installs the clucene-config.h header to /usr/lib/CLucene, but fts-lucene tries to include it from /usr/include/CLucene and fails. Here is how it is fixed in Fedora, for instance: sed -i '/DEFAULT_INCLUDES *=/s|$| '"$(pkg-config --cflags libclucene-core)|" src/plugins/fts-lucene/Makefile.in Indeed, Lucene's pkgconfig file reflects the fact that some headers reside in /usr/lib/CLucene. It would be great if Dovecot used pkgconfig for CLucene. Thanks, Dimitri Mageia Linux packager

[Dovecot] Can't rename mailboxes, any ideas on how to fix?
by Howard Leadmon 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

I am running Dovecot 2.1.12 under FreeBSD, and I use Outlook 2010 with imap to connect to my server. I know I used to be able to rename mailboxes, as I do this every year at year end, but when I went to rename some mailboxes the start of this year, blamo up popped the message "CANNOT Renaming not supported across conflicting directory permissions". Then only thing that has really been updated here, is Dovecot itself, as I know the FBSD port updates when new versions are released. Any clues on what may have caused this, or how to best correct it? --- Howard Leadmon

[Dovecot] Dovecot 1.2.7 and Roundcube LIST-EXTENDED commands
by aristidis fesarlis 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

Hi all, we use Dovecot 1.2.7 with Maildir, and recently we have set up the latest Roundcube webmail. Inside its config file,it is mentioned that: // By default list of subscribed folders is determined using LIST-EXTENDED // extension if available. Some servers (dovecot 1.x) returns wrong results // for shared namespaces in this case. http://trac.roundcube.net/ticket/1486225 // Enable this option to force LSUB command usage instead. I notice that it seems to work fine, though. We don't have shared namespaces. So my question is: should I change it to LSUB, or will I have problems with my Maildir subscriptions? Thanks

[Dovecot] Dovecot auto subscribe imap public folder
by Marantz 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

Hi, I have a public folder up and running. This public folder is shared across the company, but when one user makes a new folder then it is not automatically visible to othe users. They need to subscribe manually. Is there a way to automatically subscribe to this? Kind regards, Robin -- View this message in context: http://dovecot.2317879.n4.nabble.com/Dovecot-auto-subscribe-imap-public-fol… Sent from the Dovecot mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Dovecot] Folder names
by James Starowitz 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

Running a pretty basic setup of imap +pop3 on version 2.1.10 Users are able to create folders in imap that contain "&" the folder on the backend reflects "&-" as it should, you can list folder, but then when you relog into imap then decides it can no longer subscribe to this folder due to invalid UTF characters. Essentially allowing users to lock themselves out by using a very common character in a folder name. Might one of the imap client compatibility plugins in imapd cause this quirkiness ? Should I be coming at this from another direction? Is this a bug?

[Dovecot] Kerberos/GSSAPI auth via .k5login file
by Jörg Herzinger 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

Hi, we are currently moving our mailserver to a new server with Dovecot, virtual users in LDAP, Passwords in Kerberos Setup. Everything works fine except for GSSAPI which seems to be a bit buggy. The thing is, that when using a .k5login [1] file it seems that SASL does not get passed the home directory specified userdb. In other words, mails for user1 (see below) are stored in /home/domain.at/user1, while the home dir defined in LDAP is /afs/domain.at/home/user1 (virtual users, so only dovecot, not the system does know about this user and home dir). If I do create a .k5login file in /home/domain.at/user1 with the content "someotheruser(a)DOMAIN.AT", then someotheruser should be able to authenticate himself as user1 via GSSAPI. However, this .k5login file is completely ignored. So it seems to me that the home is not passed on to SASL. If I do add ldap to my nsswitch (for testing only) I additionally have real system users. Now if I create a .k5login in their home defined in LDAP which now also the system knows about everything works just fine. It is still the wrong home since its the one in LDAP and not the one defined by dovecot but at least it shows that our setup is working. See also debug log output below, a failed GSSAPI attempt produces no log output at all. Our System is Debian Wheezy on an amd64 (virtualized), dovecot Version 2.1.7, filesystem is ext4. Everything is tested with Firefox 17.0 on an Ubuntu Lucid client.

[Dovecot] dovecot and avahi
by Robert Moskowitz 03 Jan '13

03 Jan '13

I am trying to figure out if I need avahi on my mail server. I see that POP3 and IMAP are services that Avahi can advertise/discover. Does Dovecot work with Avahi and how do you get POP3 and IMAP advertised? And perhaps more importantly, what clients look for mail services this way? I can't find any information on this in the Dovecot documentation ot googling. Perhaps my search fu is low this year. thank you

[Dovecot] Migration Problem UW-IMAP to Dovecot Maildir
by Michael Sloan 03 Jan '13

03 Jan '13

I've just replaced our ancient (10-year old) mail server running Sendmail/UW-IMAP on Solaris with Postfix/Dovecot 2.1.10 running on Linux on new hardware. I opted to go with virtual users and I didn't want to create system accounts and I might end up hosting another department's mail as well. We have a mix of POP3 and IMAP users, roughly 90 total. The POP3 user mailboxes migrated without a hitch, and the IMAP user mailboxes (in what looks like mbox format) migrated well for the INBOX (found in /var/mail/<username> ) but for those few who managed to create local folders and had mail files in their home directories, those mail files were ignored. Is there any clean way to manage to migrate those folders to the new server now? There were no .mailboxlist or .subscription files anywhere on the old mail server. When I was planning the migration, I tried a variety of the methods listed on the UW-IMAP and generic migration pages including dsync, uw2dovecot.pl, and several others. What appeared to work well at the time was this, although I still have the mail in users' home directories to recover/migrate: /usr/local/bin/doveadm -o imapc_user=$1 -o pop3c_user=$1 -o imapc_password=$2 -o pop3c_password=$2 backup -R -u $1(a)caps.fsu.edu imapc: with this dovecot.conf: # 2.1.10: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.0.13-0.27-pae i686 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (i586) ext3 auth_mechanisms = plain login disable_plaintext_auth = no imapc_features = rfc822.size imapc_host = p1.caps.fsu.edu imapc_list_prefix = INBOX listen = * mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir namespace { hidden = yes list = no location = pop3c: prefix = POP3-MIGRATION-NS/ } namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = separator = . } passdb { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } plugin { pop3_migration_mailbox = POP3-MIGRATION-NS/INBOX } pop3_uidl_format = %08Xv%08Xu pop3c_host = p1.caps.fsu.edu service auth { unix_listener /var/run/dovecot/auth-master { mode = 0600 user = vmail } unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/var/vmail/%d/%n allow_all_users=yes driver = static } protocol lda { auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master log_path = mail_plugins = postmaster_address = postmaster(a)caps.fsu.edu } protocol doveadm { mail_plugins = " pop3_migration" } -- Michael Sloan Systems Administrator FSU Center for Advanced Power Systems sloan(a)caps.fsu.edu

[Dovecot] How To Remove?
by Christian Guastella 03 Jan '13

03 Jan '13

hi, i was looking to setup imap on an old PPC G5 mac i have running as webserver and gateway/firewall machine.. found a dovecot-2.1.7-0.pkg online, and it looked like the typical easy install thing.. someplace called rudix made the package.. not much there in way of instructions, but after i finally figured out where the executable had been stuck i tried it, just to see what kinda config errors would be thrown-up.. got the line below.. /usr/local/sbin/dovecot: Bad CPU type in executable so i'm guessing this means dovecot is intel-cpu only? i don't have the time or patience to read all the unix junk, and get a compiler, do all the make files etc.. been years since i did any of that, and don't want to do it again.. the pkg installer did not come with an uninstaller, and since the install is pretty much useless, is there some list of what it installed so i can get rid of it all? thanks, christian

Re: [Dovecot] Dovecot Virtual Users with Sendmail
by DormitionSkete＠hotmail.com 01 Jan '13

Well our situation is kind of like this: We've been using UW-Imap for 12-15 years, and have loved it. It has a beauty and simplicity to it that is simply wonderful. We're located in a remote part of the Rocky Mountains, and the only internet connection we can get that's faster than a dial-up is a satellite. Lousy upload speeds. Can't host our own sites here. We've been hosting our sites on one of our parishioner's servers for years; but through the years, that's become more and more problematic, and we'd like to do more with it than we currently can. We'd like to set up our own server at our guest house in town. I wanted to use OpenIndiana (Solaris) to take advantage of some of the really amazing features it has. So, I set up UW-Imap on it. Works great. Glory be to our holy God. The problem is, after I got all that working, I went to set up the users for it, and discovered the GUI for creating the users won't allow me to add any users with usernames longer than eight characters. I'm not real dependent on GUI's, and a quick search on the net told me that I can easily add the users with the long user names from the command line. So, I asked on the UW-Imap and on the OpenIndiana list for people's experience about this. Two people said they'd been using long user names on Solaris and BSD for years without any problems, while two others recommended changing to an IMAP server that supports virtual users. One of those recommended Dovecot. So I started looking at Dovecot. I'm not real keen on Sendmail, but to make matters worse, we host our own email on our server here in the mountains. Since we can't get reverse DNS set up for our satellite connection, we have to relay our emails through our parishioner's server, which does have reverse DNS, or else most people's email servers reject them as spam. We also need to be able to send and receive emails from multiple domains. So, I have to be able to figure out how to do both parts of the relay -- our part where we tell our MTA to relay it through the other host, and what will become the server at our guest house to accept those emails and relay them on to the recipients. And the multiple domain issue. I can do all this with UW-Imap and Sendmail, because we've already done all the fighting necessary to get it to work. We've been doing it for years. It just leaves us with the question of whether it's better to go with using UW-Imap on a system that's not designed to support long user names, and possibly getting bit by that, or whether it's better to fight it out trying to learn all this other stuff with a different IMAP server and MTA? Fun! I could probably get Cyrus IMAP to work with Sendmail, because I tried it briefly years ago and already have gone through the grief of figuring that out. But I didn't particularly care for it. One of the things I like most about UW-Imap -- and Dovecot shares this -- is that it's easy to backup, restore inadvertently deleted directories, and to move emails from one server to another. From what I remember, Cyrus wasn't so friendly about that. And it was more difficult to administer than UW-Imap and Dovecot. After reading the 13-page article Ken posted this afternoon, I started looking at Postfix. My impression is, that maybe this might be a good route to try. Dovecot - PostFix - and if I'm going to go through all that, I might as well go with Sieve, instead of Procmail, like we've been using for years. I used Sieve briefly with Cyrus. I've never been thrilled with Procmail. So, with all that background, if anyone would like to share any suggestions or advice, I would certainly appreciate it.

[Dovecot] dovecot crashing?
by Eric 30 Dec '12

30 Dec '12

Happy holidays! I am experiencing an issue when trying to check my mail using IMAP. with Dovecot I have tried checking my mail using a full GUI client (Thunderbird) and telnet. Both times I get disconnected before all of my messages can be downloaded and I see an error in my mail log. Here are the details: [root@cust19-1-prod-domain userqa]# dovecot --version 2.0.9 [root@cust19-1-prod-domain userqa]# dovecot -n # 2.0.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.18-164.11.1.el5 x86_64 CentOS release 5.4 (Final) disable_plaintext_auth = no login_trusted_networks = 172.19.136.0 mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir mail_max_userip_connections = 100 mbox_write_locks = fcntl mmap_disable = yes passdb { args = scheme=plain username_format=%n /etc/dovecot/users driver = passwd-file } protocols = imap ssl = no userdb { args = username_format=%n /etc/dovecot/users driver = passwd-file } [root@cust19-1-prod-domain userqa]# i try to check my mail: username@ops1-1-domain:~$ telnet cust19-1-prod-domain imap Trying 172.19.136.223...

The attachment seems small in size: Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="report_amex.xlsx"; size=20527; That means the attachment is 20527 bytes, correct?

Postfix doesn't allow external hosts to connect & relay mail, which explains what you're seeing. Why you're seeing that is better addressed on the postfix list, although you seem to have told postfix to use Dovecot for sasl auth, so maybe, since this is the Dovecot list you should send your Dovecot conf so we can see why it's not working. Also, if you ask on the postfix list you will be asked for the out-put of postfinger which can diagnose sasl problems. Simon

[Dovecot] Update 1.2 -> 2.0 ... INBOX away?
by Martin Rabl 29 Dec '12

29 Dec '12

Hi, yesterday I did an update from dovecot 1.2 to 2.0.19 (Ubuntu 10.04 -> 12.04). After fixing the configuration dovecot startups as it should, but with one error, I don't understand: the INBOX will not be delivered to the Mailclient and will not be filled by "deliver". Instead, dovecot create the two dirs "new" and "cur" directly in "Maildir". the filesystem looks now like: domain/user1/Maildir/INBOX # official INBOX domain/user1/Maildir/new # new mail domain/user1/Maildir/cur # read mail We have searched for an configuration error, but didn't found anything - or did not see one ;-) Maybe there is someone in the list, which see our error in a moment? We are using only imap/s and managesieve, no pop3. Maildir-Layout is FS. Here a snippet of our configuration: ------------ mail_home = mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir:LAYOUT=fs namespace { hidden = no inbox = yes list = yes location = prefix = separator = / subscriptions = yes type = private } namespace { list = yes location = maildir:%%h/Maildir/:INDEX=%%h/Maildir/shared/%u:LAYOUT=fs prefix = shared/%%u/ separator = / subscriptions = no type = shared } namespace { list = yes location = maildir:/srv/vmail/public:LAYOUT=fs prefix = public/ separator = / subscriptions = no type = public } protocol lda { mail_plugins = sieve autocreate } protocol imap { imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail tb-lsub-flags tb-lsub-flags mail_max_userip_connections = 10 mail_plugins = acl autocreate imap_acl } ------------ Hope you can help! Thank you! Martin

[Dovecot] question
by mattk＠kraner.us 29 Dec '12

29 Dec '12

I just install Dovecot and postfix. When I'm pull dovecot I see in the log that its checking for mail. if a put a test message locally on the server I can pull the message down to my cell phone and other computers. But when I try to a message from gmail or aol it doesn't come in to the server. it always bounces back to the place were I sent it from

[Dovecot] mdbox: more then one altstorage
by Peer Heinlein 29 Dec '12

29 Dec '12

The mdbox-format with the altstorage-feature is quite nice and important. But we're having much more then >> 30 TB of maildata and doing an fsck on huge partitions takes too much (down-) time for our mailsystem. It would be much easier, if Dovecot would be able to use at least THREE storage-paths for his m-Files (and not just TWO like now). Having an altstorage1 and altstorage2, we would be able to move away all mails from on altstorage-mountpoint, we could put this storage-moungpoint into "maintenance" and do an fsck without Downtime for Dovecot. It would be nice having a doveadm-feature to put a altstorage-path in "maintenance-mode", so to move easily away all m-files to other alt-storage-paths and to let Dovecot know not to use this locked partition. Having even more then 3 storage-paths would be nice for huge setups: In this case we could easily use different SMALLER partitions without having just two or three huge partitions > 15 TB. The architecture of the altstorage-system is nice and simple. Wouldn't it be easily possible to look (at least) in three, then just in two places for a m-file? What about a "hash_dir"-system for the storage? What about a configuration-parameter like altstorage_dirs=4 which would mean, that there are 4 storage-mountpoints that could be addressed by "%m": mail_location = mdbox:/vmail/%d/%n/mdbox:altstorage/alt/%m/%d/%n In this case, Dovecot could easily use all existing partitions automatically "round-robin". Or maybe it would be better to tell Dovecot the partitions by: altstorage_dirs_existing = 1,2,3,4 altstorage_dirs_newmail = 1,4 so it would be very easy to tell Dovecot in which partitions he has to look for m-files and where he is allowed to save round-robin new e-mails. With this setup it's easy to put a partition in maintenance mode.

[Dovecot] dovecot 2.1.12 panic in mbox-sync.c

Hello! I use dovecot 2.1.12 locally on a 32bit Linux with an ext4 filesystem and after deleting a lot of emails from a mbox folder, I now get the following messages in the log: dovecot: imap(amied): Panic: file mbox-sync.c: line 1351 (mbox_sync_handle_eof_updates): assertion failed: (offset == 0 || offset > 31) dovecot: imap(amied): Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x4559a) [0x6f68959a] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x45611) [0x6f689611] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_fatal+0) [0x6f658fa0] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(+0x2d707) [0x6f708707] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mbox_sync+0x53) [0x6f7091d3] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mbox_storage_sync_init+0x6d) [0x6f70936d] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mailbox_sync_init+0x3b) [0x6f72333b] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mailbox_sync+0x3f) [0x6f72347f] -> dovecot/imap(cmd_select_full+0x16b) [0x805529b] -> dovecot/imap(cmd_select+0x17) [0x8055c57] -> dovecot/imap(command_exec+0x32) [0x80596f2] -> dovecot/imap() [0x80586fd] -> dovecot/imap() [0x805880d] -> dovecot/imap(client_handle_input+0x125) [0x8058a05] -> dovecot/imap(client_input+0x60) [0x80592f0] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_call_io+0x44) [0x6f6981f4] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0xce) [0x6f6991ce] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x40) [0x6f697cd0] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(master_service_run+0x2e) [0x6f680dbe] -> dovecot/imap(main+0x279) [0x804fdd9] -> /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf5) [0x6f49bad5] -> dovecot/imap() [0x804ff51] The mbox file seems to be unchanged and a .lock file remains even after stopping dovecot.

[Dovecot] Mixing v2.1 and 2.0 directors ?
by Jan-Frode Myklebust 28 Dec '12

28 Dec '12

I'm preparing to set up a new set of directors on dovecot-ee-2.1.10.3-1, but would prefer to do this a bit gradually. Will it be OK to set up a ring of directors with 2x dovecot-ee-2.1.10.3-1 and 2x dovecot-2.0.14 ? -jf
