[Dovecot] SLES9: compile pigeonhole failed
by Andreas Schulze 06 Jul '10

06 Jul '10

Hello, I try to compile pigeonhole ( hg clone from yesterday ) on SLES9 I get the following error: ---- snip cd dovecot-2.0-pigeonhole ./autogen.sh configure.in:17: option `tar-ustar' not recognized autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1 --- snap automake-1.8.3 autoconf-2.59 I found something similar here: http://osdir.com/ml/science.robotics.orocos.devel/2006-03/msg00029.html "It seems this option (tar-ustar) is automake 1.9 only" Is the a workaround or something I can patch ?

[Dovecot] Jul 06 13:00:50 dovecot: Warning: I/O leak: 806ef10 (36)
by Dennis Clarke 06 Jul '10

06 Jul '10

I'm currently fighting my way through the dovecot configuration pages and endless options to see if I can just get my mail from the server. Thus far no joy but dovecot seems to be working if I could figure out the configuration. My process thus far has been : 1) read docs 2) try a config change 3) fail 4) goto (1) I just saw an error while trying to read my /var/mail/dclarke good 'ol mbox in the message.log : Jul 06 12:58:50 IMAP(dclarke): Error: mbox root directory can't be a file: /var/mail/dclarke/ (http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailLocation/Mbox) So I figure I better go read that page again and see what I did wrong this time. I guess this is wrong : mail_location: mbox:/var/mail/%u Even though that is where the mail actually is : # ls -lap /var/mail total 34 drwxrwxrwt 3 root mail 6 Jul 6 02:19 ./ drwxr-xr-x 47 root sys 47 May 30 02:52 ../ drwxrwxr-x 2 root mail 2 May 29 23:47 :saved/ -rw-rw---- 1 dclarke mail 0 Jul 5 16:01 dclarke -rw-rw---- 1 lucone mail 657 Jul 2 17:55 lucone -rw-rw---- 1 root mail 8705 Jul 2 05:40 root # I shutdown the dovecot service on Solaris via svcadm and saw this in the error log : Jul 06 13:00:50 dovecot: Warning: I/O leak: 806ef10 (36) Jul 06 13:00:50 dovecot: Warning: I/O leak: 806ef10 (30) Jul 06 13:00:50 dovecot: Warning: I/O leak: 806ef10 (26) Jul 06 13:00:50 dovecot: Warning: I/O leak: 806ef10 (24) I'm not too sure what that means but it doesn't look good.

[Dovecot] Multiple authentication backends
by Wouter van der Schagt 06 Jul '10

06 Jul '10

Good morning, I have a question. Currently we are using Dovecot to handle our pop3, pop3s, imap and imaps connections. Our virtual domain management backend is vpopmail. Which works beautifully. Our current setup requires users to login with their email address and password (user@domain). We are now looking at migrating another server to our environment where users are logging in with their username only. This is because unlike virtual users these mailboxes have corresponding system users on the server. Ideally we would like to migration for the end user as easy as possible without requiring them to make changes to their settings. Is it possible to configure Dovecot to handle multiple authentication back-ends or do any of you have found a solution to a similar problem before? Sincerely, - Wouter van der Schagt

[Dovecot] doveadm stop
by Andreas Schulze 06 Jul '10

06 Jul '10

hello I start dovecot via daemontools and use "dovecot -F". "doveadm stop" does correctly stop dovecot. Of course dovecot will restart not a second later. Is it possible, that "doveadm stop" detect that dovecot is started with -F an print an informational log ? I think, it's helpfull, because in this special setup "doveadm stop" can and will not do what the the user expects from the name. -- Andreas Schulze Internetdienste | P532 DATEV eG 90329 Nürnberg | Telefon +49 911 319-0 | Telefax +49 911 319-3196 E-Mail info @datev.de | Internet www.datev.de Sitz: 90429 Nürnberg, Paumgartnerstr. 6-14 | Registergericht Nürnberg, GenReg Nr.70 Vorstand Prof. Dieter Kempf (Vorsitzender) Dipl.-Kfm.

[Dovecot] NFS(4) IMAP Quota
by Martin Schanzenbach 05 Jul '10

05 Jul '10

Hi *, We use nfs4 in combination with dovecot. Also (hard)quotas are used on the exports. Using the dovecot quota fs plugin things did not work at all. There were a few issues we encountered: 1. Nfs4 is not recognized. The problem is that the mount type is only checked for "nfs" and not nfs4. This was an easy fix. 2. The (fs)path for nfs4 that is relayed to rquotad has to be without the leading "/". This was an easy fix, too. (borrowed from linuxquota: http://linuxquota.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/linuxquota/quota-tools/rquota_… ) 3. Maybe because we do not use softquotas the quota active boolean (rq_active) in the rquota struct is always false. So we hackishly removed this check. This problem also occured here: http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2009-May/039593.html Apparently quota-tools do not check for this either (not needed?). 4. As metioned above we only use hardquotas but the plugin only reports softquotas. In my patch below I changed the behaviour: Check softquota == 0. If true then use hardquota, else softquota. Maybe you can use some of those fixes. I think at least #3 is reproducible (see ml post). The hard vs softquota behaviour is certainly a matter of discussion. The nfs4 "fixes" are actually more like feature requests that I think should be added to the plugin in one way or another. I created a diff of my changes to quota-fs.c. The changes were tested only for nfs3/4 though.

For each service 1) that has service_count=1, the client limits have no effect. only a single client is ever served. 2) that has client_limit != 0, that limit is used 3) otherwise, default_client_limit is used

Here is 1.2.12 on opensolaris 2009.06 While that is very far away from production Solaris 8 it is a valid datapoint. However I did manage to find the ID-Ten-T error that I was having related to a CFLAGS switch of all things. # uname -a SunOS titan 5.8 Generic_127722-03 i86pc i386 i86pc # /opt/csw/sbin/dovecot --version 1.2.12 # /opt/csw/sbin/dovecot --build-options Build options: ioloop=poll ipv6 openssl Mail storages: maildir mbox raw shared SQL drivers: Passdb: checkpassword pam passwd passwd-file shadow Userdb: passwd passwd-file prefetch static If you wonder why it is compiled on a ten year old OS it is because of the Solaris ABI ( Application Binary Interface ) stability in which *anything* that compiles and runs on Solaris 8 will run everywhere else flawlessly. However, your dovecot compiled on that OpenSolaris beta release won't run anywhere else but on that machine. In fact, no promises on that[1] OpenSolaris release either. :-) Dennis [1] keep in mind that there ha never been a prod ready release of OpenSolaris. Maybe someday but Oracle isn't talking. :-(

[Dovecot] Replacing real inbox by virtual inbox
by François-Xavier Payet 05 Jul '10

05 Jul '10

Hello, I'm using dovecot 1.2.11 with virtual folders. I'd like to replace my real INBOX by a virtual one but I have several questions : * will my mail still be delivered to my real INBOX? * will I be able to access my real INBOX, for example using a virtual folder reliyng on INBOX * and, how to do it. Here's my problem, if I look to the wiki page [1], I don't really understand what the _NAMESPACE_1_INBOX_ and the _NAMESPACE_2_INBOX_ stands for. Plus, I can't put my paths in my scripts, as they use %d and %u (see below) which, if I understand correctly, aren't available for PostLoginScripts.

[Dovecot] Dovecot git mirror
by David Woodhouse 05 Jul '10

05 Jul '10

I've been working on Evolution's 'imapx' back end to support QRESYNC, and was going to look at NOTIFY next. Then I realised I may have to look at implementing it on the server side first. Before I can even contemplate that, though, I had to mirror it into git. I've always resisted the one-version-control-system-per-child craze, and these days if I'm even contemplating a project which is using some other version control system, I'll start by importing it into a git repo. Thus: git://git.infradead.org/dovecot/dovecot-1.0 git://git.infradead.org/dovecot/dovecot-1.1 git://git.infradead.org/dovecot/dovecot-1.2 git://git.infradead.org/dovecot/dovecot-2.0 These are browsable in gitweb as: http://git.infradead.org/dovecot/dovecot-1.0 http://git.infradead.org/dovecot/dovecot-1.1 http://git.infradead.org/dovecot/dovecot-1.2 http://git.infradead.org/dovecot/dovecot-2.0 The mirrors are updated hourly, at 15 minutes past the hour. When making such a mirror, I usually try to ensure that it's imported in such a way that that the project maintainer(s) _could_ switch to using it as their primary VCS if they wanted to -- and a number of projects have actually done so. But I'm not arguing for that; I'm just making the repository available in git form in case it's useful to anyone else who, like me, doesn't really want to install and learn to use all of arch/hg/bzr/monotone/svn/etc for various different projects. No VCS flame wars please. -- dwmw2

[Dovecot] v2.0.rc1 released
by Timo Sirainen 04 Jul '10

04 Jul '10

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/rc/dovecot-2.0.rc1.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/rc/dovecot-2.0.rc1.tar.gz.sig All of the important features are implemented and all of the important bugs are fixed. The only thing I'd like to solve before v2.0.0 is that two people have said their doveconf fails when trying to convert old v1.x config file. I haven't been able to reproduce this, so if it happens to anyone I'd like to know about it (and even better, get access to a test system where it happens, since it doesn't seem to be caused by the config file itself). There's at least one installation that has already used v2.0 + mdbox for months in production. A lot of bugs have been fixed thanks to them. So I'm expecting this release to be rather stable and v2.0.0 hopefully won't be too far away from now. So the "rc1" tag really means that this is a release candidate. After a few weeks go by without any important bug reports, I'll release v2.0.0. Largest changes since beta6: - Added man pages, mostly written by Pascal Volk. They're also synchronized to wiki in http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools - dsync syntax changed, although it's still compatible with old syntax. see http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Dsync for new syntax - dsync backup command added - dsync should now be stable (in theory anyway, more testing would probably be a good idea) - LMTP proxying supports director - director should now be stable - Single-dbox should now be stable - mdbox locking behavior modified. when rebuilding indexes it can no longer fail with deadlocks - fsync_disable=no was renamed to mail_fsync = optimized (default) - fsync_disable=yes was renamed to mail_fsync = never. - added a new mail_fsync = always (basically what mail_nfs_*=yes also did before, but now it can be done without enabling NFS cache flushes) Plus lots of fixes, as usual.

[Dovecot] Dovecot and IPv6

Hello, I am trying to run Dovecot with IPv6 and IPv4. I have the following command in my conf: listen = * This makes Dovecot listen on all addresses on IPv4. I then add: listen = [::] So the conf now has both listen lines. This forces Dovecot to listen on all IPv6 addresses, but it no longer responds to requests on IPv4.

[Dovecot] dovecot: pop3-login: Internal login failure - howto add dovecot users that are NO server users
by Hans Neukomm 02 Jul '10

02 Jul '10

Hi all my Linux system: opensuse 11.2 my mail system: postfix - dovecot my key problem since several days googling and testing is: how can I have a pop account with dovecot for a user if that user is NO linux system user it appears to me that most auth mechanisms somehow expect a mail user also to be a linux system user either to be found in the /etc/passwd or /etc/alias on my 4 servers I have NO users at all registered, NO login at all for any normal user - incl me. I strictly work as root and with serverkey auth on a tightly secured system since many years my goal is to have the most simple possible mail system - one user to send/receive (me) may be a very few friends with a pop3 account - that's that I have since many years - using cyrus. now I want to move to dovecot and I missed somehow since many days searching to find a simple howto add mail users - just for mail - pop3 and smtp, no imap, no home directory, etc I think that most of the errors I get in my mail log are about user unknown, I try different variations of postfix main.cf found in www the result always is some error like the newest dovecot: pop3-login: Internal login failures - below the last mail log - after I added a user to /etc/passwd hans:x:1000:100:xxxx yyyyyyy::/sbin/nologin ------------- dovecot: auth(default): client in: AUTH#0111#011PLAIN#011service=pop3#011secured#011lip=127.0.0.1#011rip=127.0.0.1#011lport=110#011rport=53082#011resp=AGhhbnMASThDc2F3TzgxRHhjUmVNOHVCaDBM dovecot: auth(default): passwd-file(hans,127.0.0.1): lookup: user=hans file=/etc/dovecot/passwd dovecot: auth(default): client out: OK#0111#011user=hans dovecot: auth(default): master in: REQUEST#0112#01115510#0111 dovecot: auth(default): passwd(hans,127.0.0.1): lookup dovecot: auth(default): master out: USER#0112#011hans#011system_groups_user=hans#011uid=1000#011gid=100#011home= dovecot: dovecot: Relative home directory paths not supported (user hans): dovecot: pop3-login: Internal login failure (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=<hans>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured ------------- WITHOUT the user hans entry in /etc/passwd I get the following mail log errors ------------- Jul 1 02:43:01 kriyayoga dovecot: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=17860 Jul 1 02:43:22 kriyayoga dovecot: auth(default): client in: AUTH#0111#011PLAIN#011service=pop3#011lip=78.46.101.111#011rip=124.108.51.96#011lport=110#011rport=50152#011resp=AGhhbnMASThDc2F3TzgxRHhjUmVNOHVCaDBM Jul 1 02:43:22 kriyayoga dovecot: auth(default): passwd-file(hans,124.108.51.96): lookup: user=hans file=/etc/dovecot/passwd Jul 1 02:43:22 kriyayoga dovecot: auth(default): client out: OK#0111#011user=hans Jul 1 02:43:22 kriyayoga dovecot: auth(default): master in: REQUEST#0112#01117840#0111 Jul 1 02:43:22 kriyayoga dovecot: auth(default): passwd(hans,124.108.51.96): lookup Jul 1 02:43:22 kriyayoga dovecot: auth(default): passwd(hans,124.108.51.96): unknown user Jul 1 02:43:22 kriyayoga dovecot: auth(default): userdb(hans,124.108.51.96): user not found from userdb passwd Jul 1 02:43:22 kriyayoga dovecot: auth(default): master out: NOTFOUND#0112 Jul 1 02:43:22 kriyayoga dovecot: pop3-login: Internal login failure (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=<hans>, method=PLAIN, rip=124.108.51.96, lip=78.46.101.111 ------------- any help or pointer to a solution or howto setup dovecot pop3 accounts for non-system users would be MOST welcome greetings hans

[Dovecot] dovecot ldap search result ordering?
by chasye 02 Jul '10

02 Jul '10

I use openLDAP as dovecot pass/user db. here is main part of dovecot-ldap.conf: pass_attrs = mail=user, uid=userdb_home=/home/xadmin/%d/%$,userPassword=password pass_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%u)) default_pass_scheme = SSHA user_attrs = mail=user, uid=home=/home/xadmin/%d/%$ user_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(|(mail=%u)(mailAlias=%u))) It works fine, but some account failed to get their domain in pass_attrs. I check the log. when it success, the result order is "mail, uid, userPassword" when it failed, the order is "userPassword, uid, mail" we just use a username to login.

[Dovecot] dovecot 1.2.11/ thunderbird 3.1 - moving folders
by Andre Hübner 02 Jul '10

02 Jul '10

Hello List, customers telled me problem when moving folders in thunderbird which i can confirm. Following setup on my side: dovecot 1.2.11 with mbox. Thunderbird 3.1 with ready mailaccount and "Server supports folders that contain sub-folders and messages" is disabled. i create folder1 for subfolders and in folder1 a folder2 for mails. Now i create folder3 on toplevel like just like folder1 for subfolders. Now i drag/dop folder2 to folder3. Thunderbird is moving this folder successful but in folder1/.imap i can still see a folder folder2 which is containing a dovecot.index.log At this point thunderbird shows error-message when i start to delete folder1. It tells: [CANNOT] Mailbox is'nt selectable: folder1. AND [NONEXISTENT] Directory folder1 is'nt empty, can't delete it. What to do now? Is error on my or thunderbirds side? Parts of my config needed? Thanks, Andre

[Dovecot] Quota in mysql dict not properly recalculated on 1.2?
by Joan 02 Jul '10

02 Jul '10

Good morning, I am trying to add quota storage on mysql following the guide in the wiki http://wiki.dovecot.org/Quota/Dict, and I am having some problems. My setup works fine for the newly created accounts, and correctly increases/decreases quota when necessary. The wrong part seems to be the recalculation. It seems to me that the system doesn't count the real occupation when it has to recreate the quota entry for a username. This is the case: .- User test(a)testing.com has a quota 200000 bytes, I delete the entry of the database for user, and then when I do the: echo 'x GETQUOTAROOT Inbox' | USER=test(a)testing.com /usr/sbin/dovecot --exec-mail imap .- These are ALL the queries I see, I am missing the userdb queries to get the real quota. INSERT INTO quota_dovecot (bytes,username) VALUES ('0','test(a)testing.com') ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE bytes='0' INSERT INTO quota_dovecot (messages,username) VALUES ('0','test(a)testing.com') ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE messages='0' COMMIT SELECT bytes FROM quota_dovecot WHERE username = 'test(a)testing.com' SELECT messages FROM quota_dovecot WHERE username = 'test(a)testing.com' .- And the result also seems to indicate that it's not reading the quota from userdb * PREAUTH [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE SORT SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT IDLE CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE QRESYNC ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH LIST-STATUS QUOTA] Logged in as test(a)testing.com * QUOTAROOT "Inbox" "user" * QUOTA "user" (STORAGE 0 1048576) x OK Getquotaroot completed. It seems to me that dovecot --exec-mail doesn't do the mysql lookups to get the usersdb. Note: attached are my dovecot -n output and the relevant .conf files

[Dovecot] address extension going into folder
by Phil Howard 02 Jul '10

02 Jul '10

Is it possible with a simple config change to make address extensions, e.g. alice+sales(a)example.com, go into a folder, e.g. .INBOX.sales, and do so ONLY if that folder already exists (and just go into INBOX if it does not exist)?

[Dovecot] Can't establish Dovecot authorization in Exim.
by 秋元亮二 30 Jun '10

30 Jun '10

Hi, I have some problem in Dovecot authorization in Exim for outgoing SMTP. Version of Exim is 4.69 and the Exim was compiled with "AUTH_DOVECOT=yes" and "AUTH_PLAINTEXT=yes". Version of Dovecot is 1.2.12. I use SSL for IMAP. Is Exim neccesary to use SSL(TLS) for authorization of outgoing SMTP? Configuration files is as follows; - Exim ---------------------------------------------------------- dovecot_login: driver = dovecot public_name = LOGIN server_socket = /var/run/dovecot/auth-client server_set_id = $auth1 dovecot_plain: driver = dovecot public_name = PLAIN server_socket = /var/run/dovecot/auth-client server_set_id = $auth2 ---------------------------------------------------------- - Dovecot ---------------------------------------------------------- auth default { mechanisms = plain login passdb pam { args = cache_key=%u dovecot } userdb passwd { } socket listen { #master { #} client { path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-client mode = 0666 } } } ---------------------------------------------------------- Do I have to set other than that, like TLS for Exim? Thanks in advance. _________________________________________________________________ Hotmailがサクサク動く！フィッシング詐欺も怖くない http://o.jp.msn.com/ie8/

[Dovecot] "forgot my password" feature
by Mustafa Cagatayli 30 Jun '10

30 Jun '10

Hi, We have a mail server with the postfix/Squirrelmail/Dovecot(v.1.1.11) combination which we have user data on MySQL through virtual users. We have configured the SquirrelMail interface so that users can now change their own passwords. Is there any opensource solution to provide "self service password management" which would allow us to add the "I forgot my password. Lets reset it" feature which would do the authentication with the help of some random personal data or personal question/answer combination ? Regards. -- Mustafa Çağataylı BİM

[Dovecot] Use both SQL and LDAP
by Shayne Jellesma 29 Jun '10

29 Jun '10

Hey guys, I am just wondering if it is possible to use both SQL and LDAP queries at the same time to get information. Example on why I want to do this: I work at a school where we have the need for 2 separate types of mailbox configuration (better wording is eluding me at the moment). Staff and Students currently share the same email server. I would like to be able to give staff a bigger inbox (eg: 500MB) than students (eg: 50MB). The way I am thinking, if this is even possible, to pull username and group membership from Active Directory. Check the groups against a SQL query to give the user the appropriate mailbox size. Also, having email is a privilege, not a right at my school so is it also possible to check if a user is part of a BannedEmailUsers or AllowedEmailUser group so I could quickly and effectively disable accounts as needed. I apologise if this is a little hard to follow. Writing what I want has never been a strongpoint for me J I also apologise if this has been asked, or information is available somewhere. I did search and didn't come up with much. Regards, Shayne Jellesma Network Administrator / ICT Support St Martins Lutheran College

[Dovecot] %d/%n doesn't work... why?
by William Ottley 29 Jun '10

29 Jun '10

Hello all, I've been trying to setup my postfix and dovecot to AUTH with mysql, and I'm almost there! BUT, for some reason, dovecot won't create the folders in their proper location. For some reason, instead of going into /var/vmail/pplsnet.com/{username}location, where the postfix put all the emails, dovecot creates a whole new set of folders in /var/vmail/{username} I have attempted to force dovecot to put into a sub directly, without using the %d, but that doesn't work either: #mail_location = mbox:/var/vmail/%d/%n mail_location = mbox:/var/vmail/pplsnet.com/%n Where do I look to figure out why its not putting it into the %d/%n location? does it have to do with the fact that AUTH graps the username, and NOT the domain name? (via mysql)? I have included dovecot -n and postconf -n.. can anyone take a quick guess and figure out what I should be doing? thanks! *dovecot -n* # 1.0.7: /etc/dovecot.conf base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/ log_path: /var/log/dovecot log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: pop3 pop3s login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login first_valid_uid: 150 last_valid_uid: 150 mail_extra_groups: mail mail_access_groups: mail mail_location: mbox:/var/vmail/pplsnet.com/%n maildir_copy_with_hardlinks: yes mail_executable: /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir: /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 auth default: mechanisms: plain login digest-md5 cram-md5 passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot-sql.conf socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: mail master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 432 user: vmail group: mail *postconf -n: *alias_database = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases append_dot_mydomain = no biff = no broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes command_directory = /usr/sbin config_directory = /etc/postfix daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix debug_peer_level = 2 disable_vrfy_command = no html_directory = no inet_interfaces = all mail_owner = postfix mail_spool_directory = /var/spool/mail mailbox_size_limit = 500000 mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq manpage_directory = /usr/share/man message_size_limit = 10000 mydomain = rnd myhostname = mail.pplsnet.com mynetworks = 174.xx.xx.0/24 myorigin = $myhostname newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.2.10/README_FILES recipient_delimiter = + relayhost = sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.2.10/samples sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail setgid_group = postdrop smtp_tls_note_starttls_offer = yes smtp_use_tls = yes smtpd_banner = $myhostname smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated, permit_mynetworks, reject_unauth_destination smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_local_domain = smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot smtpd_tls_CAfile = /etc/postfix/gd_bundle.crt smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/postfix/pplsnet.com.crt smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/postfix/www.pplsnet.com.key smtpd_tls_loglevel = 1 smtpd_tls_received_header = no smtpd_tls_session_cache_timeout = 3600s smtpd_use_tls = yes tls_random_source = dev:/dev/urandom unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 450 virtual_alias_maps = mysql:$config_directory/mysql_virtual_alias_maps.cf virtual_gid_maps = static:12 virtual_mailbox_base = /var/vmail virtual_mailbox_domains = mysql:$config_directory/ mysql_virtual_domains_maps.cf virtual_mailbox_maps = mysql:$config_directory/mysql_virtual_mailbox_maps.cf virtual_minimum_uid = 150 virtual_uid_maps = static:150 * *

[Dovecot] Dovecot-2.0 conf misc questions
by Thomas Hummel 29 Jun '10

29 Jun '10

Hello, I'm setting up a dovecot-2.0.beta6 install and I'm experiencing the following issues/questions : 1. Converting the config file # /usr/local/dovecot-2/bin/doveconf -n -c /usr/local/dovecot-1.2.12/etc/dovecot.conf : [...] doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /usr/local/dovecot-1.2.12/etc/dovecot.conf line 176: Unknown setting: process_limit but # grep -i process_limit /usr/local/dovecot-1.2.12/etc/dovecot.conf # Well, it doesn't bother me much since I made the dovecot-2 conf from scratch anyway. 2. Changing the process limit In 10-master.conf, I changed 'service imap''s 'process_limit' from 1024 to 4096 which caused : Warning: service auth { client_limit=4096 } is lower than required under max. load (5320) Where does the 5320 come from ? 3. The = <file syntax Is there anything to know about this new syntax other than files are introduced by "<" ? 4. The "filter" hierarchy My understanding is that protocol, remote, local must be specified in the following order protocol name { remote <ip|name> { local <ip|name> { and that for a match in several blocks, the more specific wins. but it's not clear to me where they are valid and if we can negate (with a ! for instance) an argument. For instance, I want to implement the typical case of "let clients from the inside network perform a plain auth over a clear connection, require SSL before auth for the outside network clients". For that, I want to put remote <internal network address> { disable_plaintext_auth = no } in 10-auth.conf and let the 'disable_plaintext_auth = yes' in dovecot.conf But : . why is this default not in 10-auth.conf file ? . would I have been allowed to do, for instance, in that file at the same line protocol imap { remote <internal network address> { disable_plaintext_auth = no } ? . would I have been allowed to do, for instance, in that file at the same line protocol ! imap ... or remote ! <some address> ? Besides, if I set ssl=required, do I still need disable_plaintext_auth = yes ? 4. auth unix listner Default is the unix socket 'auth-userdb'. Which processes communicate through this one ? Does that mean the the auth process is not the process which performs the actual passdb/userdb lookup ? In that case what is the 'userdb process' ? Same question : what is the auth-client socket used for ? Finally, would it make sense to declare other auth listeners than the two listed by default in the 10-master.conf file ? -- Thomas Hummel | Institut Pasteur <hummel(a)pasteur.fr> | Pôle informatique - systèmes et réseau

[Dovecot] Dovecot dies, maybe ntpdate related. I'm new to dovecot
by Xavi Montero 28 Jun '10

28 Jun '10

Hi all, my first post. After years with an old server, a couple of months ago I've installed a new one. We use IMAP. After research, I chosed dovecot. It has been running for several weeks but from one week ago or so, it suddently dies about once per day. The only change done in the server one week ago has been to install ntpdate, running once per day in cron-daily. In the cron reports, ntpdate reports a time-jump of 9 seconds each night. We did this because "apparently" we did not a "soft time drift" installing the full ntp daemon, but I start thinking the time-jump crashes dovecot. QUESTIONS: - Might this time-jump cause dovecot to die? - I don't know wehere the dovecot logs are written to. Where do I start searching? Thanks to all!

[Dovecot] "forgot my password" feature
by Mustafa Cagatayli 28 Jun '10

28 Jun '10

Hi, We have a mail server with the postfix/Squirrelmail/Dovecot(v.1.1.11) combination which we have user data on MySQL as virtual users. We have configured the SquirrelMail interface so that users can now change their own passwords. Is there any opensource solution to provide "self service password management" which would allow us to add the "I forgot my password. Lets reset it" feature which would do the authentication with the help of some random personal data or personal question/answer combination ? Regards. -- Mustafa Çağataylı BİM

Others on this list would be more help than me regarding this.

[Dovecot] Pigeonhole Managesieve issue with Dovecot 2.0
by Tim Traver 26 Jun '10

26 Jun '10

Hi all, ok, I am running version v2.0.beta6 and the latest pigeonhole build to run managesieve and the sieve delivery filters... I am getting the following response from the managesieve port when connecting : Escape character is '^]'. "IMPLEMENTATION" "Dovecot" "SIEVE" "" "SASL" "PLAIN" "STARTTLS" "VERSION" "1.0" OK "Dovecot ready." But, I think that the SIEVE line is suppose to have all of the supported sieve functions like so : "SIEVE" "comparator-i;ascii-numeric fileinto reject vacation imapflags notify include envelope body relational regex subaddress copy" I modified the dovecot sieve config file to try and add (although they should all be added by default), and it still comes up blank... Am I missing something? what might cause it to not broadcast the sieve implementations that it has? Thanks, Tim.

[Dovecot] auth_cache_size
by Daniel L. Miller 25 Jun '10

25 Jun '10

I was going to ask how much space I should allocate for auth_cache_size - but decided to read the wiki first. Now I'll be more specific - Wiki says about 50 bytes per passdb, and up to 200 bytes for userdb - so my arithmetic says each combined entry needs 250 bytes budgeted. Assuming that's correct, I need some clarification. Let's start small. Assume ten users, all connected - and everybody also likes looking at everybody else's mailbox. So there are ten clients, each with at least ten connections (I say at least because each folder viewed within an account is its own connection, right?). How is the auth_cache used? If I have ten user/pass combinations - is that all that is stored? Or are there connection-specific entries as well? In other words, for the above example, do I have 10 x 250 bytes yields auth_cache_size=3, or do I need 10 x 10 x 250 yields auth_cache_size=30 - or am I totally off? -- Daniel

[Dovecot] Proxy Access (Manager/Secretary) Best Practices?
by Chris Hobbs 23 Jun '10

23 Jun '10

I've mostly got our dovecot+postfix+SOGo+openldap open source groupware replacement working the way I want it to; we're replacing GroupWise in our organization and I'm thrilled to be doing it. I'm supporting about 1,000 active staff users (and another 6,000 student accounts). I've got e-mail and calendar sharing working, and it does what it says it will do, but it is (go figure) different in concept from Proxy access under GroupWise. In GroupWise, I can give my secretary proxy access to my account and she can read all of my folders, see my calendars, and send e-mail as me. To someone that receives an e-mail or appointment request from her while she's proxied to me, there's no distinction at all. Is there a way to mimic this sort of functionality with the tools I've chosen? I've figured out that I can add additional 'mail' attributes to the secretary's record, and those addresses are available as drop-down choices in the SOGo web interface, but with the secretary's name and not the manager. Any advice will be much appreciated. And many thanks to the developers involved for writing and making available such amazingly good software. Eliminating the license fees we've been paying to Novell is allowing me to save a technician that surely would have been eliminated in budget cuts this year.

[Dovecot] More Dovecot 2.0 permissions issues
by Tim Traver 22 Jun '10

22 Jun '10

Hi Timo, ok, using the latest 2.0beta6... I can't figure out the settings for the log file to have the correct permissions. When the log file is created, it is created owned by root and 0600 permissions, which doesn't allow the lda to write to it if I use different users and groups for that main config... If I then chmod the log file to 666, then everything is happy, but again, if that log file is removed and created by dovecot, it will create it back with 0600 and the lda will error and not deliver mail because of it... I was not able to find anywhere else to set the mode of the log files or the mask that is used... here is the current config : # 2.0.beta6: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE-p3 i386 auth_username_format = %Lu auth_username_translation = %@ auth_verbose = yes disable_plaintext_auth = no dotlock_use_excl = yes first_valid_uid = 100 listen = * lock_method = dotlock log_path = /local/logs/dovecot.errors mail_gid = 100 mail_location = maildir:%h/Maildir mail_nfs_index = yes mail_nfs_storage = yes mail_uid = 100 mmap_disable = yes passdb { args = /bin/checkpassword_dovecot_auth driver = checkpassword } plugin { quota = maildir sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/Maildir/sieve } protocols = imap pop3 managesieve quota_full_tempfail = yes service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { mode = 0660 } } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = prefetch } userdb { args = /bin/checkpassword_dovecot_deliver driver = checkpassword } verbose_proctitle = yes protocol pop3 { pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh } protocol lda { mail_plugins = quota sieve } protocol imap { mail_plugins = quota imap_quota } Thanks, Tim.

[Dovecot] Postfix, MySQL, Dovecot LDA and alias domains
by Darek M 22 Jun '10

22 Jun '10

Hi there, I have a postfix/postfixadmin/mysql/dovecot install that was using 'virtual' for the LDA. I tried the 'dovecot' LDA to enable Sieve but ran into trouble with aliases. With domain "some-domain.com" being an alias to "somedomain.com", mail sent to *(a)somedomain.com would be delivered to the Maildir fine, but the 'dovecot' LDA tossed "unknown user" for anything sent to *(a)some-domain.com (the alias to the other domain). My dovecot.sql: driver = mysql connect = host=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock dbname=postfix user=dovecot password=dovecot user_query = SELECT concat('/home/vmail/', maildir) as home, concat('maildir:/home/vmail/', maildir) as mail, 5000 AS uid, 5000 AS gid, concat('maildir:storage=', quota) AS quota FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active = '1' password_query = SELECT username as user, password, concat('/home/vmail/', maildir) as userdb_home, concat('maildir:/home/vmail/', maildir) as userdb_mail, 5000 as userdb_uid, 5000 as userdb_gid FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active = '1' The problem is fairly simple: Dovecot isn't being told anything about the 'alias_domain' table that pairs alias domains with actual ones. So the question is: do I add a second "user_query" in dovecot.sql, or is there an "alias_query" directive, or similar? And does anyone have a query that would point an alias domain to the real maildir? - Darek

[Dovecot] New mailbox & autocreate
by Bambero 21 Jun '10

21 Jun '10

Hi, First of all BIG THANKS for great piece of software. I have a small problem with autocreate. My mails are stored in: /var/mail Ex. /var/mail/test(a)test.pl/Maildir Account information comes from DB. So when new account appears in DB full path including home dir is created. But there is one small problem: Group always is "wheel". Autocreating ignores gid from DB and uses the group of the parent directory - in this case /var/mail. But when I create home dir manualy (setting right group) group of autocreated Maildir is OK. Is it possible to configure dovecot to set group from DB. Regards, Bambero

[Dovecot] Error: dict: Leaked a t_pop() call

I'm running dovecot 1.0.7 on CentOS 5.5, and I've configured it to work with PostfixAdmin (http://sourceforge.net/projects/postfixadmin/) Everything seems to work great, except for one problem. Any time a user logs in, I get errors like the following Jun 19 02:21:59 ve dovecot: dict: Leaked a t_pop() call in I/O handler (nil) Jun 19 02:21:59 ve dovecot: dict: Raw backtrace: dict [0x40e85e] -> dict [0x40e5cc] -> dict(io_loop_handler_run+0x1c9) [0x411279] -> dict(io_loop_run+0x18) [0x4106b8] -> dict(main+0x139) [0x408509] -> /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf4) [0x2ab19ec13994] -> dict[0x407589] The only information I could find online was from this mailing list a few years back: http://copilotco.com/mail-archives/dovecot.2007/msg08975.html The response seems to be "nobody keeps their quota in MySQL", but the setup I'm using is what's recommended by the authors of PostfixAdmin: http://postfixadmin.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/postfixadmin/trunk/DOCUMENTS… So, I guess my questions are these: 1) Is this error at all serious? Will it impact performance, or can it be safely ignored? 2) If it is something that should be addressed, do you think I would be better off trying to patch and recompile the 1.0.7 version, or just upgrading to a newer version of Dovecot (keeping in mind that 1.0.7 seems to be the latest available in CentOS repositories) Thank you for your time, and your outstanding software. -Brendan

Thanks for the information. I'm not trying to waste your time, and I wasn't really asking for 'help' per se, as much as simply a clear answer about whether that error was even worth worrying about. I'm well aware that 1.0.7 is a pretty old release, and you don't have much control over what the distro maintainers choose to package. Generally speaking, I think there are advantages (not introducing incompatibility with other software, simple dependency resolution, automatic security updates, etc.) to sticking with repo versions, unless you have a compelling reason to do otherwise. In this case, the bugfixes and improvements in quota accuracy are a good reason to upgrade. > > Please download 1.2.12, the current stable release, however read the > release notes because some settings will be incompatible with 1.0.x. > there wont be too many differences but might be some, depending on your > setup. I have moved to 1.2.12 and updated my dovecot-dict-quota.conf file, and it seems to be working great. Thanks again.

[Dovecot] Coredump while searching a folder

Hi, while searching through the message bodies in a real folder I got a coredump. I used the master user for this operation. dovecot.index* files have been removed before I started this operation. This looks a bit different to my previous report. Coredump: Program terminated with signal 6, Aborted.

[Dovecot] confused with %d/%n not working....
by William Ottley 21 Jun '10

21 Jun '10

Hi all, I'm trying to link in my "online" community of users, via mysql, with my mailserver. I have dovecot 1.0.7. I am using mysql to authenticate, and I'm trying to figure out what I should be doing to my sql query that checks the username which has a username field and a database field. everything works, as long as the username is "u%@d%" in the field, but to work with my other web application, the username is in one field, and the database is in another. can anyone make a suggestion as to how i can do the user_query to work this way? (both with dovecot and the postfix) any help would be greatly appreciated! dovecot: connect = host=localhost dbname=pplsnet user=xxxx password=xxxxxxx password_query = SELECT password FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' user_query = SELECT '/var/vmail/%d/%n' as home, 'maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%n' as mail, 150 AS uid, 12 AS gid, concat('dirsize:storage=',quota) AS quota FROM mailbox WHERE username ='%u' AND active ='1' postfix: user = mail password = xxxx hosts = localhost dbname = mail table = mailbox select_field = CONCAT(domain,'/',maildir) where_field = username additional_conditions = and active = '1'

[Dovecot] coredump while accessing virtual folder with dovecot 2.0

[Dovecot] Sieve isn't working
by Steven Weiß 20 Jun '10

20 Jun '10

Hi, I tried to get Sieve plugin running but I don't get it to work and actually have no idea what's wrong. My dovecot version is 1.2.12 and dovecot -n prints this: # 1.2.12: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.18-028stab064.7 i686 openSUSE 11.1 (i586) reiserfs log_path: /var/log/dovecot.log info_log_path: /var/log/dovecot.log disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login first_valid_uid: 110 last_valid_uid: 110 mail_location: maildir:/var/qmail/mailnames/%d/%n/Maildir fsync_disable: yes lda: postmaster_address: postmaster(a)code-factory.de mail_plugins: sieve mail_plugin_dir: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lda fsync_disable: no auth default: passdb: driver: passwd-file args: /usr/local/etc/passwd.dovecot userdb: driver: passwd userdb: driver: static args: uid=popuser gid=popuser plugin: sieve: /var/mail/mydomain/.dovecot.sieve sieve_global_path: /var/lib/dovecot/sieve/default.sieve sieve_dir: /var/mail/mydomain/sieve sieve_global_dir: /var/lib/dovecot/sieve/global/ For testing purposes I created a very simple /var/mail/mydomain/.dovecot.sieve with the following content: require ["fileinto", "regex"]; if address :is "from" "test(a)test.de" { fileinto "INBOX.Webi"; stop; } Then I sent a mail from test(a)test.de (the real address is ommitted here) to my mail account, but the mail is not moved to the subfolder Webi. In the log files there's no single hint what's going on. And in /var/mail/mydomain there's no .dovecot.sieve.log file. This directory is owned by popuser and that user has rights for reading and writing to this directory (and read rights for .dovecot.sieve), therefore it should not be a rights problem. Does anybody has suggestions what could be the cause of this? Sincerely, Steven

[Dovecot] Released Pigeonhole Sieve v0.1.17 for Dovecot v1.2.12
by Stephan Bosch 19 Jun '10

19 Jun '10

Hello Dovecot users, The new Dovecot v1.2 release is a good occasion to release a new Pigeonhole Sieve package with some relatively minor bug fixes. Changelog Sieve v0.1.17: - Made sure source code positions for compiler messages are recorded at start of tokens. - Fixed a few potential memory leaks in the Sieve compiler and the spam/virustest extensions. - Made command line tools return proper exit status upon failure. The release is available as follows: http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2-sieve-0.1.17.tar.gz http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.2/dovecot-1.2-sieve-0.1.17.tar.gz.sig Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org for more information. Have fun testing the new releases and don't hesitate to notify me when there are problems. Regards, -- Stephan Bosch stephan(a)rename-it.nl

19 Jun '10

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/dovecot-1.2.12.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/dovecot-1.2.12.tar.gz.sig Some of the most important fixes since v1.2.11: - deliver: Don't crash when a message with Auto-submitted: header gets rejected. - lib-storage: Fixed header searches to work correctly when there are multiple headers with same name. - dict client: Disconnect from dict server after 1 second of idling. - dict: If process crashed, it wasn't automatically restarted - dict file: If dict file's group permissions equal world permissions, don't try to change its gid. - maildir: Fixed a memory leak when copying with hardlinks. - maildir: Expunging last messages may have assert-crashed if their filenames had just changed.

[Dovecot] [Dovecot 1.2.11(NFS used) & dovecot-antispam 1.2]: move message error
by Администр атор 19 Jun '10

19 Jun '10

Hello! I am really need help! I am using dovecot installation on ~700 users with dspam integration via dovecot-antispam plugin. Problem in unpredictable result of moving spam-mails from INBOX to Junk and from Junk to INBOX.

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.0 auth socket error
by Tim Traver 18 Jun '10

18 Jun '10

Hi Timo, ok, when dovecot starts up, it creates the socket files in /usr/local/var/run/dovecot for the auth and a variety of other socket stuff you have going on. It creates these socket files with root ownership. But I have in the config files that dovecot is running as a particular user (in this case uid100 and gid100) to match the global mail systems needs. I use qmail as the delivery agent, and when qmail envokes deliver, I get the following errors in the qmail log files : @400000004c1b18f22ea7a05c delivery 1497: deferral: lda:_Error:_userdb_lookup:_connect(/usr/local/var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb)_failed:_Permission_denied_(euid=100(sn)_egid=100(sn)_missing_+w_perm:_/usr/local/var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb,_euid_is_not_dir_owner)/lda:_Fatal:_Internal_error_occurred._Refer_to_server_log_for_more_information./ Now, from what I can tell, this is complaining that the socket doesn't have write permission for the group, because it is owned by root and created with only 600 permissions...I can chmod the file to add the rw for the group, and then it appears to start working ok, but if I stop and start dovecot, it will only re-create those files with the 600 permissions... It appears that this is not happening in the version 1.2.11 code base as I this machine is a new one that I am testing 2.0 code on... Am I missing a proper setting somewhere? here is my dovecot -l : # 2.0.beta6: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE-p3 i386 auth_username_format = %Lu auth_username_translation = %@ auth_verbose = yes disable_plaintext_auth = no dotlock_use_excl = yes first_valid_uid = 100 listen = * lock_method = dotlock log_path = /local/logs/dovecot.errors mail_gid = 100 mail_location = maildir:%h/Maildir mail_nfs_index = yes mail_nfs_storage = yes mail_uid = 100 mmap_disable = yes passdb { args = /bin/checkpassword_dovecot_auth driver = checkpassword } plugin { quota = maildir sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/Maildir/sieve } protocols = imap pop3 managesieve quota_full_tempfail = yes ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = prefetch } userdb { args = /bin/checkpassword_dovecot_deliver driver = checkpassword } verbose_proctitle = yes protocol pop3 { pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh } protocol lda { mail_plugins = quota sieve } protocol imap { mail_plugins = quota imap_quota } Thanks, Tim.

[Dovecot] strange regex sieve filter error
by Tim Traver 18 Jun '10

18 Jun '10

Hi all, ok, I'm getting an error produced by the following sieve file : require ["fileinto","copy"]; # rule:[SPAM-TAG] if allof ( header :regex "Subject" "^\\[SPAM-TAG\\]") { fileinto "SPAM-TAG"; stop; } and I'm getting the following error in the dovecot delivery log : main_script: line 3: error: unknown tagged argument ':regex' for the header test (reported only once at first occurence). main_script: error: validation failed. But I looked up the syntax, and tried to figure out why this is getting the error. I guess I just don't quite know what this error means... I know that the value that it is trying to match is kind of strange, but it is a regular expression, so it should work... Thanks, Tim.

[Dovecot] Problem configuring rawlog with 2.0beta6
by Mark Sapiro 18 Jun '10

18 Jun '10

The initial problem I was seeing after upgrade from 2.0beta5 to 2.0beta6 was error messages from my Android phone K9 client that dovecot was reporting -1 messages in various mailboxes. These mailboxes do have the special "Mail System Internal Data" message in them. In trying to get more information for debugging, I tried toenable rawlog using the same configuration I used successfully with 2.0beta5, namely: service imap { executable = imap imap-postlogin } service imap-postlogin { executable = script rawlog unix_listener imap-postlogin { } } (full dovecot -n below), but instead of successful rawlog writes, I got the following log messages: Jun 16 19:46:36 sbh16 dovecot: script: Fatal: Client not compatible with this binary (connecting to wrong socket?) Jun 16 19:46:36 sbh16 dovecot: imap: Error: fd_read(/usr/local/var/run/dovecot/imap-postlogin) failed: disconnected So the first question is how do I configure rawlog for 2.0beta6? And the next question is why the "-1 messages".

Hello, I have been using successfully Dovecot 1.1.x for about a year now. It has been very stable. Now I'm uprading that same system to newer and more powerful hardware and I was wondering whether it is good idea or not to switch to Dovecot 1.2.x series. Could anybody direct me to feature comparision document or explain here main differences betweeen thos two branches? -- Veiko

[Dovecot] LDA to address extensions
by Martijn de Munnik 18 Jun '10

Hi List, I'm trying to make dovecot deliver messages to sam+extension(a)example.com to the imap folder 'extension' of the user 'sam'. I've configured postfix with these dovecot as LDA: mailbox_command = /opt/redknot/libexec/dovecot/deliver -f "$SENDER" -d "$USER" -m "$EXTENSION" -a "$RECIPIENT" recipient_delimiter = + Sam is a local system user so I don't want to use virtual_transport (I think). I've read http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Postfix but so far without success. # 1.2.11: /etc/opt/redknot/dovecot.conf Warning: There is no way to login to this server: disable_plaintext_auth=yes, ssl=no, no non-plaintext auth mechanisms. # OS: SunOS 5.11 sun4v log_path: /var/log/dovecot.log ssl: no login_dir: /opt/redknot/var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /opt/redknot/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_max_processes_count: 10 max_mail_processes: 10 mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir lda: postmaster_address: postmaster(a)redknot.nl mail_plugins: sieve mail_plugin_dir: /opt/redknot/lib/dovecot/lda sendmail_path: /usr/sbin/sendmail auth_socket_path: /opt/redknot/var/run/dovecot/auth-master auth default: passdb: driver: pam args: other userdb: driver: passwd socket: type: listen master: path: /opt/redknot/var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 plugin: sieve_before: /etc/opt/redknot/sieve/before sieve_after: /etc/opt/redknot/sieve/after I know about the warning, this dovecot is only used as LDA, not for imap or pop3. thanks, Martijn YoungGuns Kasteleinenkampweg 7b 5222 AX 's-Hertogenbosch T. 073 623 56 40 F. 073 623 56 39 www.youngguns.nl KvK 18076568 YoungGuns Kasteleinenkampweg 7b 5222 AX 's-Hertogenbosch T. 073 623 56 40 F. 073 623 56 39 www.youngguns.nl KvK 18076568

[Dovecot] \Noselect on virtual folders
by Matthias Rieber 17 Jun '10

17 Jun '10

Hi, I've some virtual folders which seem a bit odd when they are listed. a LIST "virtual.spam." "*" * LIST (\Noselect \HasNoChildren) "." "virtual.spam." * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "virtual.spam.unchecked" * LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "." "virtual.spam.disagree" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "virtual.spam.disagree.dspam" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "virtual.spam.disagree.spamassassin" a OK List completed. This seems ok, virtual.spam and virtual.spam.disagree can't contain mails. I'm wondering if virtual.spam should have the flag \HasChildren instead if \HasNoChildren, but this doesn't cause trouble... a LIST (SUBSCRIBED) "virtual.spam." "*" * LIST (\Subscribed \Noselect) "." "virtual.spam.disagree.spamassassin" * LIST (\Subscribed \Noselect) "." "virtual.spam.disagree.dspam" * LIST (\Subscribed \Noselect) "." "virtual.spam.unchecked" a OK List completed. When I list the folder with (SUBSCRIBED), the virtual folders are all flagged with \Noselect. This appears at all virtual folders. All other folders don't have the \Noselect flag. On the Nokia N900 I can't enter all virtual folders. The log shows that the n900 always list the folders with (SUBSCRIBED). Is this listing the expected behaviour? regards, Matthias

[Dovecot] Shared mailboxes errors
by Nikita Koshikov 17 Jun '10

17 Jun '10

Hello list, I'm implementing shared mailboxes on live system and after enabling acl plugin I got errors in my log: Jun 17 15:50:33 dict: Error: sql dict iterate: Invalid/unmapped path: shared/shared-boxes/anyone/ I have no clue why this happening, users don't know about new functionality they just use imap as before. Also dict database begin to fill up by records like: select * from user_shares; user@domain.com|admin@domain.com|1 But user don't use setacl command. Searching for the list gave http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2009-April/038664.html , but question seemed still open. So, can someone give point how to fix\avoid this ? One more question, on live system it's hard to debug dovecot with mail_debug=yes for all users, can this option be turn on for individual user? or maybe mail_debug stream can be redirected also for individual user ?

[Dovecot] IMAP Address book ?
by Frank Bonnet 17 Jun '10

17 Jun '10

Hello Does anyone knows if it is possible to manage a personnal address book with Dovecot and IMAP ? I mean would it be possible to store it in the IMAP user's space and not in the MUA address book in order to always retrieve it even changing on machine / MUA ? Thanks

[Dovecot] basic conf error? v1.2.11
by Justin Krejci 17 Jun '10

17 Jun '10

I just downloaded 1.2.11 and compiled from source including mysql support and using default directory locations. I walked thru the included example conf file and tweaked it out and get an invalid configuration file. I trimmed out all of the commented sections to make the non-default config super easy to navigate during troubleshooting. Remaining config which gives an error of "unknown setting: mechanisms" so I switched it to auth_mechanisms and then get the following when starting dovecot: Error: Error in configuration file /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf line 18: Unknown section type (section changed in /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf at line 14) Fatal: Invalid configuration in /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf ##################### protocols = imap pop3 listen = <SCRUBBED IP> disable_plaintext_auth = no ssl = no login_processes_count = 100 login_max_processes_count = 500 login_max_connections = 512 login_greeting = DovecotProxy08 ready. protocol imap { } protocol pop3 { } protocol lda { } #LINE 14 auth_username_chars = abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ01234567890.-_@/$!&\ auth default { mechanisms = plain passdb sql { #LINE 18 args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf } userdb sql { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf } user = root } dict { } plugin { } ##################### Any ideas what is wrong here? It seems like the example conf file is not correct. Yes the dovecot-sql.conf file exists.

[Dovecot] ZFS Index corruption and Connection reset by peer
by Philippe Chevalier 17 Jun '10

17 Jun '10

Hello, I'm currently using dovecot 1.2.11 on FreeBSD 8.0 with ZFS filesystems. So far, so good, it works quite nicely, but I have a couple glitches. Each user has his own zfs partition, mounted on /home/<user> (easier to set per user quotas) and mail is stored in their home. From day one, when people check their mail via imap, a lot of indexes corruption occured : dovecot: IMAP(<user>@domain.org): Corrupted transaction log file /home/<user>/Mail/Maildir/INBOX/dovecot.index.log seq 13: record size too small +(type=0x0, offset=5560, size=0) (sync_offset=5652) dovecot: IMAP(<user>@domain.org): fscking index file /home/<user>/Mail/Maildir/INBOX/dovecot.index dovecot: IMAP(<user>@domain.org): /home/<user>/Mail/Maildir/INBOX/dovecot.index log position went backwards (13,132 < 13,5560) dovecot: IMAP(<user>@domain.org): Transaction log file /home/<user>/Mail/Maildir/INBOX/dovecot.index.log: marked corrupted etc, etc... After some digging, I "solved" this problem with mmap_disable = yes in dovecot.conf. Index corruption doesn't seem to occur anymore. Is this normal? I thought this problem occured only on NFS filesystem and eventually on old versions of ZFS. Hasn't this been fixed? Is there an option in ZFS that would allow mmap calls without corruption. Has it something to do with compression ? The options of the zfs filesystem are : zhome/username type filesystem - zhome/username creation Thu Mar 18 11:10 2010 - zhome/username used 750M - zhome/username available 61.0G - zhome/username referenced 750M - zhome/username compressratio 1.20x - zhome/username mounted yes - zhome/username quota none default zhome/username reservation none default zhome/username recordsize 128K default zhome/username mountpoint /usr/home/username inherited from zhome zhome/username sharenfs off default zhome/username checksum on default zhome/username compression lzjb inherited from zhome zhome/username atime off inherited from zhome zhome/username devices on default zhome/username exec on default zhome/username setuid on default zhome/username readonly off default zhome/username jailed off default zhome/username snapdir hidden default zhome/username aclmode groupmask default zhome/username aclinherit restricted default zhome/username canmount on default zhome/username shareiscsi off default zhome/username xattr off temporary zhome/username copies 1 default zhome/username version 3 - zhome/username utf8only off - zhome/username normalization none - zhome/username casesensitivity sensitive - zhome/username vscan off default zhome/username nbmand off default zhome/username sharesmb off default zhome/username refquota none default zhome/username refreservation none default zhome/username primarycache all default zhome/username secondarycache all default zhome/username usedbysnapshots 0 - zhome/username usedbydataset 750M - zhome/username usedbychildren 0 - zhome/username usedbyrefreservation 0 - Other problem, that I have been unable to solve so far, is that a lot of entries show up in my logs about : dovecot: imap-login: net_disconnect() failed: Connection reset by peer It doesn't seem to have any adverse effect, except it's filling up the logs. It seem to appear when a client closes the imap connection? Is there a way to suppress this error? Regard P.C.
