Hi Timo/all I am trying to use stored procedure for password query when it try to connect i get authenticated only for the first user after that for subsequent user it gives me this error. Password query failed: Commands out of sync; you can't run this command now You might have solved this issue before, did some search just found this http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2006-October/017041.html (not resloved) Could you please guide me how to resolve this issue. thanks in advance. *dovecot-mysql.conf* connect = host=xxxx dbname=dovecot user=xxx password=xxxxx client_flags=65536 user_query = SELECT xx as uid, xx as gid, home FROM table WHERE User = '%u' password_query = call proxyMayBe('%u','%w','%r'); *Dovecot -n : *# 1.2.6: /etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.18-164.el5 x86_64 CentOS release 5.4 (Final) base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/ log_path: /var/log/dovecot.log info_log_path: /var/log/dovecot-info.log protocols: imap pop3 listen: * ssl: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot//login login_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login login_process_per_connection: no login_processes_count: 30 mail_location: maildir:~/ mail_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib64/dovecot/pop3 auth default: passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot-mysql.conf userdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot-mysql.conf

[Dovecot] setting up home directories
by Cliff Hayes 17 Nov '09

17 Nov '09

Hello, I have not been using the home directory but I read in MailLocation.txt that I probably should. Does dovecot create each directory? What does it put in there? My server uses mbox format. My users all look like this: [root@sendmail log]# finger chayes Login: chayes Name: 50387.00 Directory: /home/chayes Shell: /sbin/nologin Never logged in. Mail last read Mon Nov 16 19:56 2009 (CST) No Plan. So each user does have a home directory assigned, but it is never created. Here is my current mail_location: mail_location = mbox:/var/empty:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u:INDEX=/var/indexes/%u Do I just add the maildir component as follows: mail_location = mbox:/var/empty:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u:INDEX=/var/indexes/%u:maildir:/home /u% I'm confused by the MailLocation.txt entry below which says not to mix maildir and mbox formats. ---%<----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir:INBOX=~/Maildir/.INBOX ---%<----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Note that it's still not possible to mix maildir and mbox formats this way. You need to use<namespaces> [Namespaces.txt] for that. Thanks in advance, Cliff

[Dovecot] deliver is ignoring mail_access_groups
by Peter 17 Nov '09

17 Nov '09

Ubuntu 8.04LTS Dovecot 1.2.6 Postfix 2.5.1 I'm using dovecot imap/deliver in an environment where I don't want users with shell access to reach their mail folders (partly to do with IMAP ACLs requiring open group permissions and partly to do with not wanting users to mess their mail folders / sieve configs up). I specifically don't want to switch to a "single dovecot user" style installation. Current config: mail_location = maildir:/home/mail/%d/%n/Maildir mail_privileged_group = mail mail_access_groups = maildir drwxrws--- 3 nobody maildir 21 2009-11-15 10:52 /home/mail drwxrws--- 4 nobody adomain.com 30 2009-11-15 12:12 /home/mail/adomain.com/ drwxrws--- 3 auser adomain.com 20 2009-11-15 10:52 /home/mail/adomain.com/auser drwxrws--- 3 auser adomain.com 20 2009-11-15 10:52 /home/mail/adomain.com/auser/Maildir And so on... As expected IMAP and Managesieve work perfectly, but deliver fails: Nov 15 12:48:26 s15364807 dovecot: deliver(auser(a)adomain.com): sieve: stat(/home/mail/adomain.com/auser/.dovecot.sieve) failed: Permission denied (using global script path in stead) Nov 15 12:28:06 s15364807 dovecot: deliver(auser(a)adomain.com): stat(/home/mail/adomain.com/auser/Maildir) failed: Permission denied Nov 15 12:28:06 s15364807 dovecot: deliver(auser(a)adomain.com): stat(/home/mail/adomain.com/auser/Maildir/tmp) failed: Permission denied (euid=1002(auser) egid=1001(adomain.com) missing +x perm: /home/mail) Nov 15 12:28:06 s15364807 dovecot: deliver(auser(a)adomain.com): msgid=<20091115122806.79A0F80034F(a)servername.com>: save failed to INBOX: Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. [2009-11-15 12:28:06] Opening the permissions on /home/mail (6771) allows deliver to succeed suggesting that mail_access_groups is being ignored by deliver. As a work-around I can set /home/mail to 6771 but this is not ideal as anyone somehow guessing the directory structure could access mail of another user in the same group regardless of IMAP acl settings. Yes, I can severely obfuscate it but it's not secure. I've spent about half a day trying to figure this out, I'm assuming at this point that either I'm missing something obvious or something else is wrong. Any ideas? Peter.

[Dovecot] read() failed with subscription file
by david＠davidwbrown.name 16 Nov '09

16 Nov '09

Hello Dovecot folks, I have Dovecot running reasonably well against my Postfix SMPTd. All mail is stored in Maildir format only. In my Thunderbird client I can see the Inbox, Trash and Sent folders in the Thunderbird pane but no other directories. I have very many Maildir format directories under my Inbox directory but I cannot see them in the Thunderbird client. I have the Dovecot info and debug log runnning with the solitary error message being displayed in the log when ever I access the Thunderbird client folders pane as stated below. Particulars follow and please advise, David. OS: CentOS 5.2 Postfix: 2.3.3 Dovecot: 1.2 Dovecot log: dovecot: IMAP(user): read() failed with subscription file /home/user/Maildir/subscriptions: Is a directory

Hi! I probably have a problem with the imap folders codepages. I use polish email clients such as MS Outlook and Windows Mail. The clients try to create folders like Wiadomości-Śmieci but Dovecot creates Wiadomo&AVs-ci-&AVs-mieci This happens on two different dovecot installations 1: Installation A # 1.2.6: /etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.30.9-96.fc11.x86_64 x86_64 Fedora release 11 (Leonidas) info_log_path: /var/log/maillog protocols: imaps ssl_listen: * ssl: required ssl_cert_file: /etc/pki/certs/dovecot/dovecot.pem ssl_key_file: /etc/pki/certs/dovecot/dovecot_key.pem ssl_cipher_list: ALL:!ADH!LOW:!SSLv2:!EXP:+HIGH:+MEDIUM disable_plaintext_auth: yes verbose_ssl: yes login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login mail_privileged_group: dovecot_mail mail_debug: yes mail_plugins: autocreate quota imap_quota expire lda: postmaster_address: root@localhost auth default: passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot-sql.conf plugin: autocreate: Trash autosubscribe: Trash quota: dict:user::proxy::quota quota_rule: *:storage=1048576 quota_warning: storage=95%% /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh 95 quota_warning2: storage=80%% /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh 80 expire: Trash 7 INBOX 365 expire_dict: proxy::expire dict: quota: mysql:/etc/dovecot-dict-quota.conf expire: mysql:/etc/dovecot-dict-expire.conf 2: Installation B # 1.1.19: /usr/local/dovecot/etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.22.14-72.fc6 x86_64 Fedora Core release 6 (Zod) base_dir: /usr/local/dovecot/var/run/dovecot/ log_path: /usr/local/dovecot/var/log/dovecot_log info_log_path: /usr/local/dovecot/var/log/dovecot_log protocols: imaps ssl_cert_file: /usr/local/ssl/certs/dovecot/certificate_04102009.crt ssl_key_file: /usr/local/ssl/certs/dovecot/privateKey_04102009.key ssl_cipher_list: ALL:!ADH!LOW:!SSLv2:!EXP:+HIGH:+MEDIUM verbose_ssl: yes login_dir: /usr/local/dovecot/var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/local/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_user: dovecot_login mail_privileged_group: dovecot_mail mail_plugins: expire quota imap_quota trash lda: postmaster_address: root@localhost hostname: filemon mail_plugins: expire quota mail_plugin_dir: /usr/local/dovecot/lib/dovecot/lda sendmail_path: /usr/sbin/sendmail auth_socket_path: /usr/local/dovecot/var/run/dovecot/auth-master auth default: mechanisms: plain login debug: yes passdb: driver: passwd-file args: /usr/local/dovecot/etc/passwd.dovecot userdb: driver: passwd-file args: /usr/local/dovecot/etc/passwd.dovecot socket: type: listen master: path: /usr/local/dovecot/var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 user: mail plugin: quota: dict:user::proxy::quotadict quota_rule: *:storage=5G:messages=2000 quota_rule2: Trash:storage=1G:messages=1000 quota_warning: storage=95%% /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh 95 quota_warning2: storage=80%% /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh 80 trash: /usr/local/dovecot/etc/dovecot-trash.conf expire: Trash 7 Spam 7 INBOX 180 Sent 180 auth_socket_path: /usr/local/dovecot/var/run/dovecot/auth-master expire_dict: proxy::expire dict: quotadict: mysql:/usr/local/dovecot/etc/dovecot-dict-quota.conf expire: mysql:/usr/local/dovecot/etc/dovecot-dict-expire.conf Please help :-) What should I do to have the right codes for the folder names?

[Dovecot] Ownership and permissions for the index directory/filesystem
by Stewart Dean 13 Nov '09

13 Nov '09

I recently upgraded from DC 1.1.15 to 1.2.6. The /var/dcindx index root directory is: drwxrwsrwt 3962 root sys 192512 Nov 13 11:56 ./ thus 3777. It appears that the user index directories created under DC1.1 look like this (here for /var/dcindx/cep): drwx--S--- 5 cep sys 256 Nov 13 14:26 cep/ while those created under V1.2 look like: drwx------ 3 lrenart sys 256 Nov 12 14:59 lrenart/ It seems that the first time that DC goes to do indexing, I now see this error msg: Nov 12 11:45:15 mercury mail:err|error dovecot: IMAP(bpyi): open(/var/spool/mail/bpyi) failed: Permission denied (euid=2586(bpyi) egid=2000(bard2) missing +w perm: /var/spool/mail) ...but never again... Questions: 1) Are the ownership and permissions on the /var/dcindx index root directory ideal or should they be something else? 2) Ideally what should the ownership and permissions be for individual user subdirs? I create the user mail directories when creating a new account, so it would be little extra trouble to create and set the ownership and permissions. I am currently using mbox mailbox format but will be migrating to maildir over the next some months.

[Dovecot] Index file (date timestamp) issue on OS X 10.6.2 Server
by Darren Latter 13 Nov '09

13 Nov '09

Hi, I've run into a bit of a problem and exhausted my knowledge and research. I'm hoping that I've overlooked something very obvious! I moved from a single Apple OS X 10.6.2 server Dovecot environment to a NFS clustered environment, currently with two servers. Both servers are identical hardware, software. Currently both the Dovecot index and data files are on the NFS RAID array. Both servers are configured to work with NFS per the Dovecot guides. The index and data files are accessed via a target link to the NFS mount via /var/spool/imap/dovecot. Email can be sent and received via either server and there are no errors being reported (both platforms are in debug mode). In essence everything appears to be working fine. The issue is that after the index is initially built (all email timestamps are correct) however any new incoming email is timestamped: 8 July 2037 23:53 I checked the index files: drwx------ 5 XXXX mail 4096 Nov 12 20:41 .UND -rw------- 1 XXXX staff 1472 Nov 13 12:30 .nfs.2005105c.0583 -rw------- 2 XXXX mail 56668 Nov 13 15:44 .nfs.200514ff.0583 -rw------- 2 XXXX mail 1364 Nov 13 15:44 .nfs.20051500.0583 drwx------ 2 XXXX mail 12288 Nov 13 15:44 cur -rw------- 1 XXXX mail 118 Nov 13 10:04 dovecot-keywords -rw------- 1 XXXX staff 5359 Nov 13 15:44 dovecot-uidlist -rw------- 1 XXXX staff 8 Nov 12 21:12 dovecot-uidvalidity -rw------- 1 XXXX mail 0 Jul 8 2037 dovecot-uidvalidity.4afc7a3a -rw------- 1 XXXX staff 1472 Nov 13 15:44 dovecot.index -rw------- 2 XXXX mail 56668 Nov 13 15:44 dovecot.index.cache -rw------- 2 XXXX mail 1364 Nov 13 15:44 dovecot.index.log -rw------- 1 XXXX mail 3859 Nov 13 15:47 maildirsize drwx------ 2 XXXX mail 4096 Nov 13 15:44 new -rw------- 1 XXXX mail 902 Nov 1 14:07 subscriptions drwx------ 2 XXXX mail 4096 Nov 13 15:44 tmp When checking the "stand alone" old data - the files are all correctly dated.

[Dovecot] Rewriting username at login
by Gerry Demaret 13 Nov '09

13 Nov '09

I am trying to make a switch from Cyrus to Dovecot which has some "historical accidents" to it that I have to deal with and ideally would like to get rid of. One of them is that about half of the existing accounts have a different format for their login. All the newer accounts have their email address as login, the old ones use a dot instead of an at: - new: user1(a)domain.tld - old: user2.domain.tld I would like to migrate away from the all-dots notation since it leads to a lot of support questions, and for that I'd like to run in a compatibility-mode for a few months. Effectively, I want to get rid of all the old users and convert them all to the new scheme, and have the username rewritten at login, so every second to last dot gets rewritten to an at. This would ensure that we have no complaints and allow our users to migrate slowly. All users are currently stored in a MySQL database for Cyrus, but this will be changed to a Dovecot-LDAP combination. Is this possible? How could I achieve this? Kind regards, Gerry.

[Dovecot] Turning off "Fixed Duplicates" feature
by Jordan Tardif 13 Nov '09

13 Nov '09

Is there a way to disable this feature? Seems to be causing more harm then good right now. Without getting into too much details it is fixing the duplcates but it does not remove the old file, and the new file it creates is not marked as read like the old one was. I understand that this problem can be created by multiple rsyncs and files changing in between, but is there any way that I can just turn this feature off all together? I do not see anything in the wiki regrading settings to disable. -- Jordan Tardif DreamHost

[Dovecot] Deliver and file system quota
by Rainer Frey 12 Nov '09

12 Nov '09

Hi, what is the quota plugin for deliver supposed to do when using fs quota? With IMAP, and not using noenforcing, a user that is over Soft limit can't copy mails. With deliver, the mail is delivered normally. When hard limit is exceeded, there is an error "rejected: Not enough disk space", just like when I don't use the plugin in lda. Even the lda setting "quota_full_tempfail = yes" works without the plugin configured in lda section. So is there any effect of the quota plugin in lda with file system quota? Thanks Rainer

[Dovecot] sieve files wont get parsed/compiled using cmusieve
by Moritz Krinke 12 Nov '09

12 Nov '09

Hello, im trying to get sieve up and running, but apparently my sieve rules file doesnt get parsed / compiled and i cant see any errors in my logfile which would point me to the problem. im using ubuntu 9.10 (and the dovecot packages from it), dovecot version is 1.1.11. in the protocol lda section of the config file i have added: mail_plugins = cmusieve mail_plugin_dir = /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda and in the plugins section: sieve = /var/vmail/%d/%n/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = /var/vmail/%d/%n/sieve root@mail:/# l /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda/lib90_cmusieve_plugin.* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 247470 2009-10-15 06:38 /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda/lib90_cmusieve_plugin.a -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1038 2009-10-15 06:37 /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda/lib90_cmusieve_plugin.la -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 141384 2009-10-15 06:38 /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda/lib90_cmusieve_plugin.so in /var/vmail/%d/%n/ i have a dir "sieve", containing a sieve rule file and a symlink to it: ls -la .dovecot.sieve lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2009-11-07 17:14 .dovecot.sieve -> sieve/roundcube.sieve ls -la sieve/ total 16 drwxrw-rw- 3 vmail mail 4096 2009-11-07 17:02 . drwxrw---- 20 vmail mail 4096 2009-11-07 17:20 .. -rwxrw-rw- 1 vmail mail 359 2009-11-07 17:02 roundcube.sieve as i understand the documentation there should be a ".dovecot.sievec" file after the first mail arrived. But there isnt. There also is nor err file . Since the dovecot user is in the group "mail", deliver should have rw-access to the sieve file/directory. The Upload of the sieve rule via dovecots managesieve did work as expected. Would be great if anyone had an idea what/where to check next...? ;-) Thanks, Moritz

[Dovecot] UTF-8 mailbox names in filesystem
by Timo Sirainen 12 Nov '09

12 Nov '09

Currently mailbox names are stored in IMAP's modified-UTF-7 format in filesystem. I was wondering about changing this in v2.0. The default would still be to use mUTF-7 in filesystem, but just adding :UTF8 or something to mail_location could enable UTF-8. Any thoughts? Could this be dangerous somehow? UTF-8 enables a lot of weird characters, perhaps no one really wants to see them on filesystem since there's no way to type the characters? But for small systems this probably isn't a problem.

[Dovecot] Postfix and Dovecot SASL
by Rene Bakkum 12 Nov '09

12 Nov '09

Hello all, I am struggeling to get my Dovecot SASL to work within postfix. I have used the configuration example listed on the main-site of dovecot and it basically isn't giving me any success at all. I am probably missing something easy, but after spending a few days testing and walking through everything I could think about I thought figured it was better to ask :) Hope someone can point me to the right direction. My setup is that I have installed Ubuntu 9.04 (64bit), postfix and dovecot linked to a MySQL database. The services are using maildirs which are stored locally (no NFS). Postfix is using the LDA from dovecot to deliver the mail and dovecot is used for IMAP and POP3. This is working and no problems at all so far. The problem starts when I just want to enable the SASL authentication from Dovecot. I used the 'guide' posted on http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/PostfixAndDovecotSASL When I try to telnet to port 25 (smtp) than I doesn't looks like the SASL is working... 220 mail003 ESMTP Postfix (Ubuntu) ehlo localhost 250-mail003 250-PIPELINING 250-SIZE 10240000 250-VRFY 250-ETRN 250-STARTTLS 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES 250-8BITMIME 250 DSN Anything I missed in my configuration from either postfix/dovecot? root@mail003:/etc/postfix# dovecot --version 1.1.11 root@mail003:~# dpkg-query -l postfix +++-==============-==============-============================================ ii postfix 2.5.5-1.1 High-performance mail transport agent Here are my configurations of both: root@mail003:/etc/postfix# dovecot -n # 1.1.11: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.28-16-server x86_64 Ubuntu 9.04 ext4 log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: imap pop3 imaps pop3s managesieve ssl_cert_file: /etc/ssl/certs/ssl-mail.pem ssl_key_file: /etc/ssl/private/ssl-mail.key ssl_cipher_list: ALL:!LOW:!SSLv2:ALL:!aNULL:!ADH:!eNULL:!EXP:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-login login_executable(managesieve): /usr/lib/dovecot/managesieve-login login_greeting_capability(default): yes login_greeting_capability(imap): yes login_greeting_capability(pop3): no login_greeting_capability(managesieve): no mail_max_userip_connections(default): 10 mail_max_userip_connections(imap): 10 mail_max_userip_connections(pop3): 3 mail_max_userip_connections(managesieve): 10 mail_privileged_group: mail mail_uid: 5000 mail_gid: 5000 mail_location: maildir:/home/vmail/%d/%n/.Maildir mail_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 mail_executable(managesieve): /usr/lib/dovecot/managesieve mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(managesieve): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/managesieve imap_client_workarounds(default): outlook-idle delay-newmail imap_client_workarounds(imap): outlook-idle delay-newmail imap_client_workarounds(pop3): imap_client_workarounds(managesieve): pop3_client_workarounds(default): pop3_client_workarounds(imap): pop3_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh pop3_client_workarounds(managesieve): sieve_storage(default): sieve_storage(imap): sieve_storage(pop3): sieve_storage(managesieve): ~/sieve sieve(default): sieve(imap): sieve(pop3): sieve(managesieve): ~/.dovecot.sieve auth default: mechanisms: plain login passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 user: vmail group: vmail root@mail003:/etc/postfix# postconf | grep sasl broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes cyrus_sasl_config_path = lmtp_sasl_auth_cache_name = lmtp_sasl_auth_cache_time = 90d lmtp_sasl_auth_enable = no lmtp_sasl_auth_soft_bounce = yes lmtp_sasl_mechanism_filter = lmtp_sasl_password_maps = lmtp_sasl_path = lmtp_sasl_security_options = noplaintext, noanonymous lmtp_sasl_tls_security_options = $lmtp_sasl_security_options lmtp_sasl_tls_verified_security_options = $lmtp_sasl_tls_security_options lmtp_sasl_type = cyrus proxy_write_maps = $smtp_sasl_auth_cache_name $lmtp_sasl_auth_cache_name send_cyrus_sasl_authzid = no smtp_sasl_auth_cache_name = smtp_sasl_auth_cache_time = 90d smtp_sasl_auth_enable = no smtp_sasl_auth_soft_bounce = yes smtp_sasl_mechanism_filter = smtp_sasl_password_maps = smtp_sasl_path = smtp_sasl_security_options = noplaintext, noanonymous smtp_sasl_tls_security_options = $smtp_sasl_security_options smtp_sasl_tls_verified_security_options = $smtp_sasl_tls_security_options smtp_sasl_type = cyrus smtpd_recipient_restrictions = reject_unknown_sender_domain, reject_unknown_recipient_domain, reject_unauth_pipelining, permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_unauth_destination smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_authenticated_header = yes smtpd_sasl_exceptions_networks = smtpd_sasl_local_domain = $myhostname smtpd_sasl_path = private/dovecot-auth smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous smtpd_sasl_tls_security_options = $smtpd_sasl_security_options smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot Any ideas?

[Dovecot] multiple connections per imap/pop3 process in 2.0

When I set this in master.conf: service imap { service_count = 5 } I see this error when two imap users log in: Nov 11 16:54:16 server dovecot[5432]: imap-login: Login: user=<user1>, method=PLAIN, rip=10.100.0.84, lip=10.80.0.163, pid=5573 Nov 11 16:54:31 server dovecot[5432]: imap-login: Login: user=<user2>, method=PLAIN, rip=::1, lip=::1, secured, pid=5573 Nov 11 16:54:31 server dovecot[5432]: imap(pid 5573 user user2): Fatal: setgid(2002) failed with euid=2001(user1), gid=2001, egid=2001: Operation not permitted Then both users are logged out. Is there another setting I have to change to enable multiple connections per imap/pop3 process in dovecot-2.0, or does it just not work yet? I tried changing client_limit=5 but that had no effect. (I suggest that master.conf needs more documentation.) Thanks.

[Dovecot] selective disable_plaintext_auth
by Mariano Absatz 11 Nov '09

11 Nov '09

Hi, I've been using dovecot for some time now, always with the setting: disable_plaintext_auth = yes so that no user can accidentally expose their username/password in the open. However, I'm now trying to configure a webmail client in a nearby server which doesn't support TLS or SSL IMAP connections :-( Is there any way to allow plaintext_auth only for a small set of IP addresses (for what I see in the comment, this is automatic for local addresses, alas, the webmail client is on another host).

Hi All, Sorry if this is a dumb questions, but what methods are available for retrieving mail for a system user i.e www-data. Basically my setup is just a normal Dovecot-IMAP which is working fine for shell users, but I want to be able to read mail for system users via IMAP. Is this doable? Cheers

[Dovecot] Missing 'mailbox' variable ?
by David Goncalves 09 Nov '09

09 Nov '09

Hi, I'm using Dovecot with LDAP. My users have an home directory and a field named 'mailMessageStore'. Then the full mailbox path is 'homeDirectory/mailMessageStore' In dovecot-ldap.conf i configured as follows : user_filter = (&(objectClass=qmailUser)(cn=%u)) user_attrs = qmailUID=uid,qmailGID=gid,homeDirectory=home,mailMessageStore=mail=maildir:~/%$ Everything is working as expected but... I'm using sieve and in the 'dovecot.conf' there is no way to get a variable containing the mailbox path... As the mailMessageStore field can contain something different than the login or uid, how can i get the mailbox path in the conf ? Regards. -- David Goncalves - http://www.lestat.st

[Dovecot] Auth failure delays
by Timo Sirainen 09 Nov '09

09 Nov '09

Currently Dovecot works like this when authentication fails: - the delay is always at least auth_failure_delay seconds (default: 2s) - each failed attempt doubles the delay for that specific imap/pop3 connection (no such delays for e.g. smtp) - the delay's upper limit is 3 minutes For v2.0 I was planning on making dovecot-auth process do these checks and keeping the state in anvil process: - the delay is always at least auth_failure_delay seconds (default: 2s) - for each remote IP address the delay is doubled, regardless of how the request comes (imap, pop3, smtp, etc). - the delay's upper limit is .. hardcoded to 15 secs? i kind of hate the thought of making this configurable. - each successful authentication from the IP resets the IP's delay - the delay happens before authentication is even attempted, so even successful auth attempts will have the delay (unless of course there haven't been auth failures from that IP) If the upper limit is 15 secs, that means max. 240 auth attempts per hour per IP. The reason I was thinking 15 secs is because I have some vague memories about Thunderbird dropping connection after 15 or maybe 30 seconds of idling. If user has one successful login, it's of course possible to get around the delay doubling by just doing failed attempt -> successful attempt -> failed -> success -> etc. But probably no one is really going to try to do that, and even if they did it's still not that bad. The second successful login will still have that 2 second delay before it resets the delay. So that's still max one auth/2 seconds or max. 1800 auth attempts/hour. Any thoughts?

In fact, because multiple uids (and gids) have to create a directory there, you have to use a tmp-like directory. "1xxx" means the sticky-bit, so users may not remove an entry owned by another user. Because root is owner of /var/dvindex, you have just those two users able to remove: root and the owning user of the subdir.

IMHO, as soon as you have system users the /var/dcindex must be 1777, the few exceptions, when all users share a single group, or you can pre-create the directories are the special cases. BTW: _If_ you use system users and your account name <-> uid relationship can change, you should use an template different than /var/dcindex/%u, e.g. /var/dcindex/%i, because if a new user with an name already used in past, but with another uid logs on the server, the uid cannot access the old /var/dcindex/ahinds tree. The leftover files should not make much worries, except the subscription perhaps.

[Dovecot] v2.0 lmtp logging
by Pascal Volk 05 Nov '09

05 Nov '09

Hi, I am not yet completely happy with the logging behavior of the lmtp. It logs informative messages like 'lmtp: Info: Connection closed' or 'lmtp: Info: Disconnected for inactivity'. Hm, which server was connected to the lmtp? Who was disconnected for inactivity? I think it would be useful if the lmtp would also log new connections. For example: a) TCP connections: lmtp: Info: Connection: rip=10.1.2.3, lip=10.1.2.5, cid=1255555555.12345 b) Socket connections: lmtp: Info: Connection: via socket, cid=1255555777.10452 rip: There may be multiple SMTP servers in front the IMAP server(s) lip: The lmpt may listen to more than one address cid: The 'connection ID', consists of the current unix time and the pid of the lmtp process. (Or some other values in some other format) The cid should be used in the 'saved' messages. So the delivering MTA would see something like '250 2.0.0 OK: 1255555555.12345 Saved', instead of a message like '250 2.0.0 <jdoe(a)example.com> Saved'. The lmtp should also write the cid to the log. For example: 'lmtp(jdoe): Info: msgid=123, cid=1255555555.12345: saved mail to INBOX' (or discarded because of a matching sieve rule). With this connection ID it would be possible to trace the route which the e-mail has taken. Regards, Pascal -- The trapper recommends today: c01dcafe.0929623(a)localdomain.org

[Dovecot] meaning of parameter imap_idle_notify_interval??
by Ingo Thierack 05 Nov '09

05 Nov '09

Hello, is my understanding of the parameter "imap_idle_notify_interval" right, if i say, it's the time between two point where dovecot tells the client he is here, and sould have nothing directly todo with the notification of new mails arrived. I played with the values around. And the courios is, in thunderbird the folloing. set to 30 seconds. Thunderbird pop up around 25 seconds after the message is deliverd to the inbox. set to 60 seconds. Thunderbird pup up around 50 seconds after the message is deliverd to the inbox. I switch over from archiveopteryx, where no such delay was. Regards, Ingo

[Dovecot] defunct in 1.24 on FreeBSD Alphaserver
by Paweł Kaczor 05 Nov '09

05 Nov '09

Hello, I've recently upgraded Dovecot from 1.1.16 to 1.2.4 on FreeSBD 6.3- RELEASE running on old Alphaserver 1200. Some time after this upgrade all user's MUAs showed error that user password was not accepted. I've noticed many zombies of imap and pop3 processes on my server (all in defunct state). Looks like when "login_max_processes_count" was reached, Dovecot canceled all new connections. I've setup completely new configuration based on http://wiki.dovecot.org/TestInstallation and no error was produced but every time I closed telnet the imap process became defunct. So, I tried to trace what was happening with ktrace: ktrace -d -f log -p pid_of_imap_process In attached file is a part of ktrace output at the moment when I close telnet connection. What is interesting (at last for me, but I'm lamer) is an error: 1576 imap 1256902587.568406 CALL close(0xffffffffffffffff) 1576 imap 1256902587.568448 RET close -1 errno 9 Bad file descriptor AFAIK, such error could be produced by inconsistent file system so I double checked OS and I'm 100% sure it's OK. At the very end of this history I had to switch back to 1.1.16 version of Dovecot which works OK now. I'll be very thankful if somebody could point me to explanation what can cause such strange behavior. Regards, Pawel Kaczor -- "A z kwiatków, jakie pan lubi najbardziej?

[Dovecot] IMAP goes down from time to time
by Juan Felipe Estrada 05 Nov '09

05 Nov '09

Good Morning I´m writing back cause the IMAP going down issue has changed a little, i still have the dovecot-1.0.7-7.el5 but with 2 changes; I added to the dovecot.conf the outlook-idle workaround, and the three login_processes parameters login_process_per_connection = yes login_processes_count = 3 login_max_processes_count = 128 Since I added this parameters the IMAP process has gone down just 1 time in 2 weeks, before this, the proccess was going down about 4 times a day so I think this is suitable, the next step i´ll take is to update the Dovecot.

[Dovecot] Why : dovecot_destination_recipient_limit = 1 ?
by Koenraad Lelong 03 Nov '09

03 Nov '09

Hi all, I'm trying to activate sieve. In all tutorials I have seen I need to set dovecot_destination_recipient_limit = 1 in Postfix's main.cf. Can anyone explain why ? I like to know because when I set this and the dovecot transport in Postfix, I'm having problems when aliasses are used that map to different recipients, i.e. info@... results in user1@..., user2@..., etc. The problems are an error from Postfix : Oct 30 09:25:19 lace3 postfix/pipe[19729]: 8A77E2D5B5B: to=<some.body(a)some.where.org>, relay=dovecot, delay=2390, delays=2390/0.04/0/0.01, dsn=4.3.5, status=deferred (mail system configuration error) Oct 30 09:25:19 lace3 postfix/pipe[19729]: warning: pipe flag `D' requires dovecot_destination_recipient_limit = 1 Thanks for any info. Regards, Koenraad Lelong.

[Dovecot] X.509 certificate based IMAP login
by dovecotlist＠encambio.com 03 Nov '09

03 Nov '09

Hello list, The dovecot version is 1.2.6 running on Solaris x86 11 (nv-b91). The relevant configuration lines are: passdb ldap { # LDAP database (doc/wiki/AuthDatabase.LDAP.txt.) args = /pfx/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf } The file dovecot-ldap.conf is correct and LDAP authentication is working well. We would like to make it possible for users with a X.509 client certificate to log in without providing LDAP or any other credentials. Is there something like: passdb x509 { args = /pfx/etc/dovecot/dovecot-caroots.pem nopwd = yes } ...avaibable, or is there another solution? Thanks, Brian

[Dovecot] second fs quota root crashes
by Juergen Obermann 03 Nov '09

03 Nov '09

Hallo. In our dovecot 1.2.6 server running under Solaris 9 I would like to set up a second quota root because the mail folders are in the users home directories and the inboxes of all users are in /var/mail. As soon as I add quota2 = fs:INBOX:noenforcing:mount=/var/mail the imap client crashes repeatedly as soon as the user tries to open a mail folder. Thanks for any help.

[Dovecot] Unable to create imap nested dirs.

Hi all, I'm trying to config a dovecot server on a debian-lenny box but I'm experiencing a problem that serveral users have on the net, but I haven't found any solution. I'm trying to create nested dirs with my thunderbird 2.0.0.23 client but without any luck :( I can create dir in the root, but not subdirs. have you any ideas? here you can you see the small config and attached my full config dovecot -n # 1.2.4: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.12.6-arm1 armv5tejl Debian 5.0.3 log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: imaps login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login mail_privileged_group: mail mbox_write_locks: fcntl dotlock auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd # dovecot -a # 1.2.4: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.12.6-arm1 armv5tejl Debian 5.0.3 base_dir: /var/run/dovecot log_path: info_log_path: log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S syslog_facility: mail protocols: imaps listen: * ssl_listen: ssl: yes ssl_ca_file: ssl_cert_file: /etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key_file: /etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem ssl_key_password: ssl_parameters_regenerate: 168 ssl_cipher_list: ssl_cert_username_field: commonName ssl_verify_client_cert: no disable_plaintext_auth: yes verbose_ssl: no shutdown_clients: yes nfs_check: yes version_ignore: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_user: dovecot login_greeting: Dovecot ready. login_log_format_elements: user=<%u> method=%m rip=%r lip=%l %c login_log_format: %$: %s login_process_per_connection: yes login_chroot: yes login_trusted_networks: login_process_size: 64 login_processes_count: 3 login_max_processes_count: 128 login_max_connections: 256 valid_chroot_dirs: mail_chroot: max_mail_processes: 512 mail_max_userip_connections: 10 verbose_proctitle: no first_valid_uid: 500 last_valid_uid: 0 first_valid_gid: 1 last_valid_gid: 0 mail_access_groups: mail_privileged_group: mail mail_uid: mail_gid: mail_location: mail_cache_fields: mail_never_cache_fields: imap.envelope mail_cache_min_mail_count: 0 mailbox_idle_check_interval: 30 mail_debug: no mail_full_filesystem_access: no mail_max_keyword_length: 50 mail_save_crlf: no mmap_disable: no dotlock_use_excl: yes fsync_disable: no mail_nfs_storage: no mail_nfs_index: no mailbox_list_index_disable: yes lock_method: fcntl maildir_stat_dirs: no maildir_copy_with_hardlinks: yes maildir_copy_preserve_filename: no maildir_very_dirty_syncs: no mbox_read_locks: fcntl mbox_write_locks: fcntl dotlock mbox_lock_timeout: 300 mbox_dotlock_change_timeout: 120 mbox_min_index_size: 0 mbox_dirty_syncs: yes mbox_very_dirty_syncs: no mbox_lazy_writes: yes dbox_rotate_size: 2048 dbox_rotate_min_size: 16 dbox_rotate_days: 1 mail_drop_priv_before_exec: no mail_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_process_size: 256 mail_plugins: mail_plugin_dir: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_log_prefix: %Us(%u): mail_log_max_lines_per_sec: 10 imap_max_line_length: 65536 imap_capability: imap_client_workarounds: imap_logout_format: bytes=%i/%o imap_id_send: imap_id_log: imap_idle_notify_interval: 120 pop3_no_flag_updates: no pop3_enable_last: no pop3_reuse_xuidl: no pop3_lock_session: no pop3_uidl_format: %08Xu%08Xv pop3_client_workarounds: pop3_logout_format: top=%t/%p, retr=%r/%b, del=%d/%m, size=%s dict_db_config: dict_process_count: 1 managesieve_max_line_length: 65536 managesieve_logout_format: bytes=%i/%o managesieve_implementation_string: dovecot auth default: mechanisms: plain realms: default_realm: cache_size: 0 cache_ttl: 3600 cache_negative_ttl: 3600 executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-auth user: root chroot: username_chars: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ01234567890.-_@ username_translation: username_format: master_user_separator: anonymous_username: anonymous krb5_keytab: gssapi_hostname: winbind_helper_path: /usr/bin/ntlm_auth failure_delay: 2 verbose: no debug: no debug_passwords: no ssl_require_client_cert: no ssl_username_from_cert: no use_winbind: no count: 1 worker_max_count: 30 process_size: 256 passdb: driver: pam args: deny: no pass: no master: no userdb: driver: passwd args:

[Dovecot] Author wanted for Dovecot article in Linux Magazine (Germany)
by Markus Feilner 31 Oct '09

31 Oct '09

Hi list, I am an editor at the German Linux Magazine and I am searching for an author or input on Dovecot, its advantages and especially the recent features. I had organized some authors, but unfortunately they don't have time right now. :-) Nevertheless I heard many positive comments on Dovecot. I can write or help writing the article, but I would love to have some input from an experienced dovecot admin - perhaps with some stunning, unusual setup that might interest our readers (most of them are skilled admins and programmers...) Something that can't be easily done with other mail servers would be great, something spectacular that is suitable to convince an mail admin why he should migrate to Dovecot. It won't be long, just about 2-3 pages (a maximum of 15000 characters) including screen shots and/or listings, code, > 10 Links and an author's biography with photo. Anybody interested? That would be great, feel free to send me a mail to: mfeilner(a)linuxnewmedia.de Unfortunately, we don't have much time, there's only two weeks left, but I will help and do a lot of work for the article. And don't worry about language! :-) Thanks a lot! -- Best Regards - Mit freundlichen Gruessen Markus Feilner ------------------------- Feilner IT Linux & GIS Linux Solutions, Training, Seminare und Workshops - auch Inhouse Koetztingerstr 6c 93057 Regensburg Telefon: +49 941 8 10 79 89 Mobil: +49 170 3 02 70 92 WWW: www.feilner-it.net mail: mfeilner(a)feilner-it.net Bei Xing: http://www.xing.com/profile/Markus_Feilner -------------------------------------- My OpenVPN book - OPENVPN : Building and Integrating Virtual Private Networks http://www.packtpub.com/openvpn/book My new book - Out now: SCALIX Linux Administrator's Guide http://www.packtpub.com/scalix/book

[Dovecot] Dovecot in-house benchmarking
by Joseba Torre 30 Oct '09

30 Oct '09

Hi, Before some major changes in our infrastructure, I was interested in the performance impact of moving indexes to our NAS (Emc Celerra v5.5). So I downloaded both dovecot-1.1.19 and dovecot-1.2.6, compiled them and wrote 2 confs for each of them, one with local indexes and another with indexes in the NAS. Then I created 19 pam users, and tested system performance this way: - uninstall current installed version - install a new version - start dovecot - for each user run: imaptest user=user pass=pass host=localhost port=143 mbox=${MBOX} seed=123 secs=300 | tail -1 > file - stop dovecot I'm not sure if these tests are real, but our results are: * In our conf, 1.1.19 and 1.2.6 performance are roughly the same * Moving the indexes to our NAS makes the system 3 times slower As we currently only have 1 system accessing mails or indexes, I tried later with nfs_* = no, and mmap_disable = no. This makes performance 10% better in any situation. Our testing setup (very close to the real one) - Dell PowerEdge 2850, 2 P4 Xeon 3GHz, 3GB RAM - RHEL 4.7 (not sure about this, the last RHEL4) 32 bits - mailboxes are always in a nfs filesystem - for testing mbox file I've used dovecot-cvs.mbox I've attached a couple of graphs to show this results (I've a lot of them, but result are pretty close from one to another). Also, dovecot -n output for 1.2.6 with indexes in the NAS. Only needed changes have been applied from one conf to another. If you feel that the benchmark can be more "real" with some changes, just tell me. Also, if you are interested in the rest of graphs or date, tell me. Next week I'll be quite busy, but as soon as possible I'll test with an iSCSI disk for indexes. Aaaaaaaaaaagur. -- Joseba Torre. Vicegerencia de TICs, área de Explotación

[Dovecot] How to see if sieve is active ?
by Koenraad Lelong 30 Oct '09

30 Oct '09

Hi, I think I activated sieve, but it's doing nothing. I know manage-sieve works so I made some rules. But they do nothing. I ran sieve-test, which seems to work, but does not move the mail I test. Is this how it works ? I thought the -e parameter just "tested" the rules and did nothing and my command was supposed to do the "real thing". I read there should be a log. I don't find this, how should I enable this ? I just found that lda can have a separate log. I'll enable this and see. I read the wiki-page different times, but I don't see what I'm doing wrong. I attached some files. Sieve-test.txt is the command and output from sieve-test. Phpscript.sieve is the file .dovecot.sieve points to, and dovecot-config is my dovecot config ;-). Thanks for any pointers.

[Dovecot] dovecot-shared and shared "\Seen" flags
by Dave 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

(Running Dovecot 1.1.0) Is it possible to either - (a) Still have shared "\Seen" flags even while using the dovecot-shared file or (b) Indicate to Dovecot in some way other than the dovecot-shared file which permissions to use for any messages created? The problem is, in my shared folder (using symlinks) scenario I am using, I have to use the dovecot-shared file to make sure new messages get written with the correct user and group permissions so that everyone appropriate can access them, but I still would like the functionality of the shared "\Seen" flags in these shared/symlinked folders (which having dovecot-shared seems to knock out). Is it possible to do both somehow? Dave

Option (a) sounds like the cleanest solution, but a bit of testing showed that Postfix doesn't wait on deliver before replying to DATA so this seems to always result in a bounce. I've perused the postfix documentation but so far no luck; if anyone reading this has any insight on how we might configure postfix to behave this way, could you please let me know (maybe offlist would be best, as this may be considered somewhat off-topic). We are using something similar to option (b) currently, but it's not really an elegant approach and we would really like to move away from it. Option (a) sounds great, if we can somehow get it to work. TIA, Marty

[Dovecot] Question about Windows Mail for Vista IMAP client
by Stewart Dean 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

When TBird logs on, it does it quietly, that is it opens one or two logins. When you start working it'll open a few more. Quiet, no thrashing around When WM4Vista opens, it appears to login and disconnect (immediately) once for every folder a person has. 20 folders, 20 logins and disconnect, ripple fire. Anybody have an idea why WM4V is so busy and TB is quiet doing the same thing? I fell over this doing testing on V1.2.6 but find it's also the case back on my production V1.1.15 -- ==== Once upon a time, the Internet was a friendly, neighbors-helping-neighbors small town, and no one locked their doors. Now it's like an apartment in Bed-Stuy: you need three heavy duty pick-proof locks, one of those braces that goes from the lock to the floor, and bars on the windows.... ==== Stewart Dean, Unix System Admin, Bard College, New York 12504 sdean(a)bard.edu voice: 845-758-7475, fax: 845-758-7035

[Dovecot] Error: NO Mailbox is locked

Hi to all, i migrate an imap server from courier-imap to dovecot 1.1.13.

[Dovecot] Wish-list: X-Delivered-To headers generated by dovecot-deliver
by Andrzej Adam Filip 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

Would it be sensible/"cost effective" to make dovecot-deliver generated X-Delivered-To header(s) based on command line parameter(s)? [after striping such existing headers, before consulting sieve] I need it to: a) *clearly* mark POP/IMAP account fetched by fetchmail [with fetchmail using directly dovecot-deliver in --mda option] b) cleanly implement "shared mailboxes" with MTA such as sendmail that can be easily forced to generate "one header per one recipient" [AFAIK] -- [pl>en: Andrew] Andrzej Adam Filip : anfi(a)onet.eu Order and simplification are the first steps toward mastery of a subject -- the actual enemy is the unknown. -- Thomas Mann

[Dovecot] Multiple LDAP Userdb lookups
by David 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

Hello one & all, I understand it is possible to do multiple lookups for userdb info of different types, for instance a local "real" account & virtual MySql lookups. Is it possible to do two separate ldap lookups to differnt parts of the same AD domain? I have a config file to do my authentication lookup against the domain. Then I have a 2nd config file for the userdb lookups which uses ldap to query our AD for their userdb info. I need to query a 2nd part of the AD for another group of users & unfortunately putting all users into one container isn't possible. So, if I add another ldap stanza to dovecot.conf will I break anything? Cheers, David. This email is confidential and is intended solely for the use of the parties to whom it is addressed.

[Dovecot] Thunderbird and Trash folder
by Stefan Onken 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

Hello, I have my problems with the Trash folder in thunderbird. Most of the times (it did work, but only for a short period) Thunderbird is not considering the "Trash" folder (or in my case the "Papierkorb") as the trash folder. The symbol disappears and I am not able to delete folders. Deleted emails are disappearing at all. The usual Google solutions like maildir vs. mbox doesn't help a lot, I am using maildir and the directory structure looks fine. I noticed that I have two trash folders, one with "INBOX.", one without. That may be a problem with Squirrelmail, because I am using both Thunderbird and Squirrelmail. Any idea to solve this issue with Thunderbird ? Thank you, Stonki Dovecot -a: http://www.pastebin.org/49066 Directory structure: http://www.pastebin.org/49067

[Dovecot] Multiple SSL certs question
by Jean-Baptiste Vignaud 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

Hello; I was reading the message "how to config dovecot for multiple domains, multiple SSL certs, and conditional IP access -- with passwd-file passdb?", and i was wondering if Dovecot could support the SNI extention of TLS ? SNI is Server Name Indication where during the TLS negotiation, the client set the name of the server it tries to reach I dont know if any imap/pop client support this yet, but this would be a great feature for one IP/multiple virtual domains. Each SNI client would have the correct certificate and not the "main/generic' one. It seems that mutt has a patch for that http://www.mail-archive.com/mutt-dev@mutt.org/msg05251.html

[Dovecot] Hundreds of auth-worker sockets in /etc/dovecot
by Eggert Ehmke 28 Oct '09

28 Oct '09

I run dovecot 1.2.6, before last update I had 1.2.2. on Debian Lenny. I noticed that my config directory /etc/dovecot is filled up with hundreds of old auth-worker.12345 sockets. I guess they should have been cleaned up, is there a misconfiguration? When I remember right, this did not happen with dovecot 1.1.

by Hendrik Pahl 28 Oct '09

hi everybody, got a strange issue with 1.2.4 on SLES11. When listing the user's available subscriptions with any client, every shared mailbox that can be subscribed is listed twice, once with it's correct name, 'folder' for example. the second appereance is without the last letter of the name, 'folde' for example. strange behaviour, since this happens with any client. i hope somebody know what is wrong here. thanks in advance, hendrik -- LWsystems GmbH & Co.

Hello all, I use dovecot11-1.1.7-1.4.1 with OpenSuse 11.1. Everything works fine, except the vacation with managesieve.

[Dovecot] Sieve vacation with russian subject
by Nikita Koshikov 28 Oct '09

Hello list, I have noticed that sieve vacation action breaks some non-english letters in the subject. I tested with russian language, if subject contains letters from specific diapason russian alphabet, the message received with unreadable subject, but text in the body with the same letters looks ok. Here is example of full subject header, it contains russian alphabet: Subject: абвгде�?жзийклмноп�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�?�? Maybe this headers will be usefull: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit .dovecot.sieve file looks correct, here is it: require ["vacation"]; # rule:[test] if anyof (true) { vacation :days 1 :addresses ["user(a)domain.com"] :subject "абвгдеёжзийклмнопрстуфхцчшщъыьэюя" text: Тестовое русское сообщение(Test russian message). ; } I'm running dovecot-1.1.16 with dovecot-sieve-1.1.6 and managesieve-0.10.6. Please tell, is it possible to fix this ?

[Dovecot] antispam-plugin 1.2 and trailing carriage-returns
by Karsten Bräckelmann 28 Oct '09

28 Oct '09

Guys, Dovecot 1.0.15 [1], just built the latest antispam-plugin 1.2 (tarball) for testing, mailtrain backend for SA integration. Both built from custom spec files. The mail that is being trained is different than its respective source in the mbox file. The trained one shows added, trailing carriage-return chars for all headers, which are not in the headers in the mbox file. This breaks sa-learn -- both these variations are different, and SA would learn *both* when run against each one separately. How comes? Any insight? How could I fix this, other than wrapping the sa-learn inside another shell script and have sed strip off the noise? This becomes more of an issue, once I switch from sa-learn to the lightning-fast spamc training variant. TIA guenther [1] Yes, I know, sorry. Don't want to change everything at the same time, and the target system I'm experimenting for runs that version, too. -- char *t="\10pse\0r\0dtu\0.@ghno\x4e\xc8\x79\xf4\xab\x51\x8a\x10\xf4\xf4\xc4"; main(){ char h,m=h=*t++,*x=t+2*h,c,i,l=*x,s=0; for (i=0;i<l;i++){ i%8? c<<=1: (c=*++x); c&128 && (s+=h); if (!(h>>=1)||!t[s+h]){ putchar(t[s]);h=m;s=0; }}}

[Dovecot] Dovecot, Shared Mailboxes (via symlink), and ACLs
by Dave 28 Oct '09

28 Oct '09

Hello! I just joined the list and will be happy to help where I can in my limited experience, but also come to the table with a question. I think there's something I'm missing regarding shared mailboxes and ACLs, so I will describe my situation and see if I am understanding correctly (running Dovecot 1.1.10). I have read over the Dovecot Wiki many times and have scoured many forums but still can't seem to find a solution. I have an IMAP mailbox that is working fine (user imapuser), so the maildir and related structure is in: /home/imapuser/Maildir I have another IMAP mailbox for another imap user, newuser1, also working fine, with maildir and related structure in: /home/newuser1/Maildir I have created a symlink under newuser1's Maildir to imapuser's Maildir so as to give newuser1 access to the things in imapusers's inbox. I have also symlinked inside the newuser1 Maildir to a folder under imapusers's inbox, let's call it "MailingList", basically settiing up something like: /home/newuser1/Maildir: cur/ .imapuserinbox -> /home/imapuser/Maildir .imapusermailinglist -> /home/imapuser/Maildir/MailingList new/ tmp/ (... and various other Dovecot-related files, nothing ACL related.) Now, I have gotten the shared boxes to work IF I changed the permissions to be rwx for user and group on /home/imapuser/Maildir/*, but this makes procmail (and .procmailrc) unhappy and it starts sending things to mbox files (old system) instead of sending them on to the Maildir. So that doesn't seem to work. Which led me to ACLs. Now, I've tried (after enabling the two appropriate lines in dovecot.conf and restarting dovecot, etc) both per-directory ACL files and global ACLs, and while I can get some things to *change* as viewed by my mail client, I can't seem to create consistent behavior. I know that's fairly vague, but it's like I'll change something in the global ACL and folders are affected that I wouldn't anticipate, based on what I'm understanding of ACLs. So, in the example above, if I enable global ACLs, what names do I use to refer to those shared boxes I'm trying to access? Do I use the link name I made, .imapuserinbox or .imapusermailinglist (without leading periods), like /etc/dovecot/acls/imapuserinbox, or is it based off of the original dir name? Like do I need something like /etc/dovecot/acls/MailingList ? What about the "inbox" I'm sharing in /home/imapuser/Maildir, how do I reference that? Is there a way to do it without affecting or changing permissions of other IMAP users and inboxes on the same system? One thing I am receiving consistently in the error logs is: mail dovecot: IMAP(newuser1): stat(/home/newuser1/Maildir/.imapuserinbox/tmp) failed: Permission denied (euid=152(newuser1) egid=100(usergroup) UNIX perms seem ok, ACL problem?) So it seems if I get the ACL stuff right, I will be in business. Any ideas?? Thanks for any help anyone can give!! Dave

[Dovecot] 1.1 Quota Question
by Marty Anstey 28 Oct '09

28 Oct '09

Hi, I'm not sure if this question has been asked before but some googling hasn't turned up anything really relevant. We are currently running Dovecot 1.1.16 & Postfix; maildir++. When a message arrives for a mailbox which is over quota, it is bounced. Obviously, this isn't very desirable; the primary downside to this is that when junk mail hits a full mailbox it's bounced to that recipient of the message. On a busy mail system, that could potentially get us blacklisted pretty quickly. Ideally we would like to reject the messages inline. Is there an easy way to set this up? Thanks, Marty

[Dovecot] Error: userdb lookup
by kfx 27 Oct '09

27 Oct '09

Hi list, I am trying to get rid of the "Error: file_dotlock_create(~/.dovecot.lda-dupes) failed: No such file or directory" by adding home directories to my virtual users (ldap). I want this home dir' to be specified like this: /var/vmail/$USER/home/ and the sieve scripts to go to: /var/vmail/$USER/home/sieve/ So as suggested before in this list, I have replaced: user_attrs = mailMessageStore=mail,mailQuotaSize=quota_rule=*:bytes=%$ by user_attrs = mailMessageStore=mail,mailQuotaSize=quota_rule=*:bytes=%$, =home=/var/vmail/%u/home But then the userdb lookup fail and it tells me this in the log: deliver(user@mydomain): Error: userdb lookup: connect(/usr/local/var/run/dovecot/auth-master) failed: No such file or directory This is strange because: a. the socket is at /var/run/dovecot/auth-master b. it is working flawlessly with the original user_attrs value So I am thinking that this setting is totally ignored by dovecot at some point.

[Dovecot] dovecot.log file permissions and ownership
by Jerry 27 Oct '09

27 Oct '09

Using FreeBSD-7.2 and Dovecot v1.2.4 what user does dovecot use to write to its log file? I have the logfile located in the /var/log directory. I have Postfix configured to use 'virtual' users and use dovecot for delivery. While dove can write to the file when accessed for POP services, when accessed via Postfix, I get this error message: Oct 25 07:02:15 scorpio postfix/pipe[56956]: B01BD2287E: to=<user(a)domain.com>, relay=dovecot, delay=220, delays=220/0.01/0/0.04, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (temporary failure. Command output: Can't open log file /var/log/dovecot.log: Permission denied ) I have used the following ownership types for the file: 1) root:wheel 2) dovecot:dovecot 3) root:dovecot 4) dovecot:wheel The only thing that works all the time is to give the file full r/w (0666) permission. That seems extreme. -- Jerry gesbbb(a)yahoo.com |::::======= |::::======= |=========== |=========== | A nuclear war can ruin your whole day.

[Dovecot] SetUID check problem
by Thomas Berezansky 27 Oct '09

27 Oct '09

Running dovecot 1.2.4 on FreeBSD using Postfix. Everything works fine normally, but deliver is executable by world. This is not normally a problem, as I don't run deliver SetUID root. But for whatever reason, when deliver is called by something that IS SetUID root I get the following error: /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver must not be both world-executable and setuid-root. This allows root exploits. See http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA#multipleuids Deliver's permissions look like this: -r-xr-xr-x While the program calling deliver has permissions like this: -r-s--x--- If it isn't possible for deliver to differentiate between being called by setuid root programs and being setuid root itself I don't think it should be doing that particular security check. Alternatively, there should be an option to turn that particular check off, but what little I saw of the source code and found searching the documentation told me that there doesn't seem to be such an option already. I also couldn't find any mention that this is fixed by 1.2.5 or 1.2.6. Thomas Berezansky Merrimack Valley Library Consortium

[Dovecot] Test environment question
by Stewart Dean 27 Oct '09

27 Oct '09

I want to test out my first V1.2 Dovecot (upgraded from V1.1) instance. What I have in mind to do is to run it on another machine that has the Inbox dir and homedirs NFS import mounted from the production mailserver. I then have 5 people test it in this test environment.... A) Then I can deal with the index filesystem in one of two ways: 1) Make it local OR 2) NFS import it from the production DC server Comments as to which is best? I have used #1 before...which caused some temporary unhappiness with the switchover and switchback....during which time the index is badly wrong and DC auto-rebuilds it... B) Is there anything else I should do/not do? C) Any ugliness that will surface in this testing lashup but isn't important? -- ==== Stewart Dean, Unix System Admin, Henderson Computer Resources Center of Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson, New York 12504 sdean(a)bard.edu voice: 845-758-7475, fax: 845-758-7035

[Dovecot] Multiple identities
by Koenraad Lelong 27 Oct '09

27 Oct '09

Hi, I recently moved from courier-imap to dovecot, to be able to work with managesieve. I use version 1.2.5, on suse 10.3. I used the script to migrate the courier maildir to dovecot format. It seems to work fine except for one problem : I use a number of aliasses and with Thunderbird I can select which alias (e-mail-address) to use as my identity when sending a mail. I sniffed with wireshark, and with my standard identity, I see the message appended to "Sent", like I expect. If I use an alias, I see a folder being created : "INBOX.Sent", and then the message is appended there. Why the difference ? I'm trying to debug this but dovecot does not help much. I tried rawlog but there is no output (that I see) from it, no log-files in my maildir. Any hints how to proceed ? Output op dovecot -n : # 1.2.5: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.22.19-0.4-default x86_64 openSUSE 10.3 (X86-64) base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/ log_path: /var/log/dovecot log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S listen: *:143 ssl_listen: *:993 ssl_ca_file: /etc/postfix/certificate/cacert.org.pem ssl_cert_file: /etc/postfix/certificate/mailbox.pem ssl_key_file: /etc/postfix/certificate/mailboxkey.pem disable_plaintext_auth: no verbose_ssl: yes login_dir: /var/run/dovecot//login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login first_valid_uid: 499 last_valid_uid: 499 mail_location: maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%u mail_debug: yes mail_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/rawlog /usr/lib/dovecot/imap lda: postmaster_address: postmaster(a)mydomain.com sendmail_path: /usr/lib/sendmail auth_socket_path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mail_plugins: cmusieve auth default: mechanisms: plain login user: nobody verbose: yes debug: yes passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 432 user: vmail group: vmail Kind regards, Koenraad Lelong.

[Dovecot] Multiple postfix + single dovecot - optimal configuration
by Tomek 26 Oct '09

26 Oct '09

Hello, I want to setup dovecot with two postfix servers on three machines: - dovecot - with huge amount of disk space - where all user emails will be kept, - postfix1 - with greylisting, amavisd-new (spamassassin, clamav, etc), with mysql backend, - postfix2 - same as postfix1. MX priority will be set to the same value for both postfix machines. For now I don't know how to "glue" these severs: - if I should install dovecot on both postfix and use third servers as a NFS share? - or maybe it is possible to communicate with dovecot on third server via LMTP? - or should I run third postfix daemon (without antyspam etc - simple configuration) on the same machine as dovecot only for delivering local mails? I will be grateful for any advice, howto or good practices example. -- Regards, Thomas.

[Dovecot] protocol configure confusion
by Stewart Dean 26 Oct '09

26 Oct '09

The docs say: > > *protocol*s = imap *imaps* > *Protocol*s we want to be serving: imap *imaps* pop3 pop3s If you > only want to use dovecot-auth, you can set this to "none". > and..... > > If you want to specify ports for each service, you will need to > configure these settings inside the *protocol* imap/pop3 { ... } > section, so you can specify different ports for IMAP/POP3. For example: > > # *protocol* imap { > # listen = *:10143 > # ssl_listen = *:10943 > # .. > # } > So if I want to run both imap and imaps AND configure the port, do I do: # *protocol* imap { # listen = *:143 # ssl_listen = *:10943 # } OR # *protocol* imap { # listen = *:143 # } # *protocol* imaps { # listen = *:993 # }
