[Dovecot] 0.99.11 (CentOS4 or RHEL4) to 1.0.rc7 upgrade folder issue
by Stephen Warren 29 Aug '06

29 Aug '06

[Sending this again from the email account that I actually have subscribed to the list - hopefully won't be a dup...] We have been running dovecot-0.99.11-2.EL4.rpm on CentOS4 (since that's the latest that ships with RHEL/CentOS) for a while. Aalso in parallel, we have been running various 1.0 betas and RCs on a different port for a different set of more test-tolerant users. This weekend, I upgraded to 1.0.rc7, and made all users use this. I found a small issue. All our users have a large set of folders in their Maildir. For the users who got upgraded from 0.99.11 to 1.0.rc7 (well, the one user who accessed their mail so far since the upgrade...) their folders weren't showing up in Thunderbird any more. Deleting all the dovecot-* files in the Maildir didn't help. In the end, the user re-subscribed to all the folders and then they showed up. (FYI, this is a right-click operation on the account in the Thunderbird tree view, subscribe menu option, then re-check all the folder names). Is there anything that can be implemented in 1.0.rc7 so that users don't have to manually re-subscribe to everything, so the upgrade process in this situation is a little more transparent? Is this simply a matter of the different Dovecot versions naming the folders with different UUIDs (or whatever the IMAP protocol uses), or something else?

[Dovecot] Problem using Apple Mail with Dovecot (fwd)
by Jason Fesler 29 Aug '06

29 Aug '06

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Bruce Arthur <barthur(a)apple.com> To: dovecot(a)dovecot.org Cc: Bruce Arthur <barthur(a)apple.com> Date: Tue, 29 Aug 2006 09:04:35 -0700 Subject: Problem using Apple Mail with Dovecot Server Configuration: dovecot-1.0.rc6 Built with: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local OS: FreeBSD 4.10-STABLE i386 running on ufs Client configuration Mac OS X 10.4.7, using Apple Mail client. Issue: Apple Mail is able to connect to the server, but it is not seeing the available folder correctly. I did a little debugging and it looks like dovecot is failing to provide the separator in response to the LIST command. I did not spend anytime trying to figure out how other mail clients are getting this (my tcpdump is a little rusty these days). Here is what I see Mail sending to the server, and it's responses. 1 LOGIN applecot ******** 1 OK Logged in. 2 CAPABILITY * CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 SASL-IR SORT THREAD=REFERENCES MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT LITERAL+ IDLE CHILDREN NAMESPACE LOGIN-REFERRALS 2 OK Capability completed. 3 LIST "" "" 3 OK List completed. The "LIST" command should be sending back the mailbox separator. The IMAP spec seems pretty clear about this (but reading RFC's is always a bit of a challenge). From the RFC: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2060.txt 6.3..8. LIST Command Arguments: reference name mailbox name with possible wildcards Responses: untagged responses: LIST Result: OK - list completed NO - list failure: can't list that reference or name BAD - command unknown or arguments invalid An empty ("" string) reference name argument indicates that the mailbox name is interpreted as by SELECT. The returned mailbox names MUST match the supplied mailbox name pattern. A non-empty reference name argument is the name of a mailbox or a level of mailbox hierarchy, and indicates a context in which the mailbox name is interpreted in an implementation-defined manner. An empty ("" string) mailbox name argument is a special request to return the hierarchy delimiter and the root name of the name given in the reference. The value returned as the root MAY be null if the reference is non-rooted or is null. In all cases, the hierarchy delimiter is returned. This permits a client to get the hierarchy delimiter even when no mailboxes by that name currently exist. Example: C: A101 LIST "" "" S: * LIST (\Noselect) "/" "" S: A101 OK LIST Completed C: A102 LIST #news.comp.mail.misc "" S: * LIST (\Noselect) "." #news. S: A102 OK LIST Completed C: A103 LIST /usr/staff/jones "" S: * LIST (\Noselect) "/" / S: A103 OK LIST Completed C: A202 LIST ~/Mail/ % S: * LIST (\Noselect) "/" ~/Mail/foo S: * LIST () "/" ~/Mail/meetings S: A202 OK LIST completed -- Bruce

Some clients let you choose between deleting messages by moving them to the Trash folder or just by marking them as deleted (which is, arguably, The IMAP Way). I don't use Outlook 2003 myself but from what I find by googling it seems that there is no such option in Outlook. However, you can choose whether deleted messages are hidden or shown. http://email.about.com/cs/outlooktips/qt/et060204.htm -- Magnus Holmgren holmgren(a)lysator.liu.se (No Cc of list mail needed, thanks)

[Dovecot] dovecot SASL as auth backend to exim?
by OpenMacNews 29 Aug '06

29 Aug '06

hi, i'm running dovecot branch_10 cvs on OSX 10.4.7 w/ exim 4.63. i'd like to use Dovecot's SASL as an auth backend to exim, instead of Cyrus-SASL. @ dovecot's sasl page: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Sasl i know there's a patch against exim 4.43: http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/AuthenticatedSmtpUsingDovecot that, purportedly, enables EXIM to use dovecot's SASL as an auth backend. questions: (1) with 'recent' updates to both dovecot/exim, is that patch still required? (2) if so, is that patch still viable/safe against 4.63? (3) can anyone provide a _specific_ example of the exim config(s) (Makefile, Router, Transport) they're using to 'make it work'? i've asked this question @ exim list, but, other than a 'why would you bother?' and a 'good luck with your efforts', no "joy" so far ... thanks, richard -- /"\ \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign X against HTML email, vCards / \ & micro$oft attachments [GPG] OpenMacNews at gmail dot com fingerprint: 50C9 1C46 2F8F DE42 2EDB D460 95F7 DDBD 3671 08C6

[Dovecot] Auto-blacklisting hosts after too many failed logins
by Amon Ott 29 Aug '06

29 Aug '06

Hi folks, first of all thanks for Dovecot, I appreciate it a lot. On one of our servers, we experience regular tries to brute force logins, probably based on harvested mail addresses. Now I wonder if dovecot has or could in future have some mechanism to blacklist remote IP addresses after a configurable number of failures to login to any account. Blacklisted IPs could simply be disconnected without giving them a chance to do anything. After e.g. one day or one hour of no further connection, the blacklist entry could be dropped. As a bonus, it would be great to have a way to close the POP3/IMAP firewall ports to these IPs to avoid dovecot seeing the connection at all. A kind of blacklist status file on disk would be enough, from which some cron job could fill a firewall chain. If necessary, I would try to add this functionality myself.

[Dovecot] dovecot-1.0_rc7 crashes (Login process died too early) with repeated deletes from thunderbird
by Tim Schafer 28 Aug '06

28 Aug '06

I can consistently reproduce a crash in dovecot: Select 20 or more messages and copy them to a test folder. Go into that test folder and SHIFT-DEL the messages rapidly (holding down SHIFT-DEL works best) Just rapidly DELing them (even holding down DEL) doesn't do it (unless it's the Trash folder) I'm using the following namespace (in case that's relevant) namespace private { separator = . prefix = INBOX. inbox = yes } The /var/log/syslog for the session reads: Aug 24 14:58:54 hostname dovecot: Dovecot v1.0.rc7 starting up Aug 24 14:58:55 hostname slapd[7243]: conn=147 fd=9 ACCEPT from IP=127.0.0.1:41074 (IP=0.0.0.0:389) Aug 24 14:58:55 hostname slapd[7243]: conn=147 op=0 BIND dn="" method=128 Aug 24 14:58:55 hostname slapd[7243]: conn=147 op=0 RESULT tag=97 err=0 text= Aug 24 14:59:09 hostname dovecot: auth(default): client in: AUTH^I1^IPLAIN^Iservice=IMAP^Ilip=192.168.0.7^Irip=192.168.0.100 Aug 24 14:59:09 hostname dovecot: auth(default): client out: CONT^I1^I Aug 24 14:59:09 hostname dovecot: auth(default): client in: CONT^I1^IAHRdfmkerjejfkdeie Aug 24 14:59:09 hostname dovecot: auth(default): client out: OK^I1^Iuser=username Aug 24 14:59:09 hostname dovecot: auth(default): master in: REQUEST^I1^I10081^I1 Aug 24 14:59:09 hostname dovecot: auth(default): master out: USER^I1^Iusername^Isystem_user=username^Iuid=1000^Igid=100^Ihome=/home/username Aug 24 14:59:09 hostname dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<username>, method=plain, rip=192.168.0.100, lip=192.168.0.7 Aug 24 14:59:10 hostname dovecot: auth(default): client in: AUTH^I1^IPLAIN^Iservice=IMAP^Ilip=192.168.0.7^Irip=192.168.0.100 Aug 24 14:59:10 hostname dovecot: auth(default): client out: CONT^I1^I Aug 24 14:59:10 hostname dovecot: auth(default): client in: CONT^I1^IAHRdfmkerjejfkdeie Aug 24 14:59:10 hostname dovecot: auth(default): client out: OK^I1^Iuser=username Aug 24 14:59:10 hostname dovecot: auth(default): master in: REQUEST^I2^I10082^I1 Aug 24 14:59:10 hostname dovecot: auth(default): master out: USER^I2^Iusername^Isystem_user=username^Iuid=1000^Igid=100^Ihome=/home/username Aug 24 14:59:10 hostname dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<username>, method=plain, rip=192.168.0.100, lip=192.168.0.7 Aug 24 14:59:12 hostname dovecot: auth(default): client in: AUTH^I1^IPLAIN^Iservice=IMAP^Ilip=192.168.0.7^Irip=192.168.0.100 Aug 24 14:59:12 hostname dovecot: auth(default): client out: CONT^I1^I Aug 24 14:59:12 hostname dovecot: auth(default): client in: CONT^I1^IAHRdfmkerjejfkdeie Aug 24 14:59:12 hostname dovecot: auth(default): client out: OK^I1^Iuser=username Aug 24 14:59:12 hostname dovecot: auth(default): master in: REQUEST^I3^I10085^I1 Aug 24 14:59:12 hostname dovecot: auth(default): master out: USER^I3^Iusername^Isystem_user=username^Iuid=1000^Igid=100^Ihome=/home/username Aug 24 14:59:12 hostname dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<username>, method=plain, rip=192.168.0.100, lip=192.168.0.7 Aug 24 14:59:14 hostname dovecot: IMAP(username): Disconnected Aug 24 14:59:14 hostname dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: rip=192.168.0.100, lip=192.168.0.7 Aug 24 14:59:14 hostname last message repeated 2 times Aug 24 14:59:14 hostname dovecot: Login process died too early - shutting down Aug 24 14:59:14 hostname dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: rip=192.168.0.100, lip=192.168.0.7 Aug 24 14:59:14 hostname slapd[7243]: conn=147 op=1 UNBIND Aug 24 14:59:14 hostname slapd[7243]: conn=147 fd=9 closed -- Regards, Tim Schafer

Well, I finally got around to fiddling with this, and I now have created a /etc/pam.d/system-auth that doesn't trigger the annoying authentication failure messages in syslog. The file is shown below. I've tested this by connecting in using SSH (setup for PAM) both as a user in the local /etc/passwd and as a user in LDAP. Also, I tested /etc/passwd users with the LDAP server stopped, and that worked too. Finally, I tested connecting to Dovecot as an LDAP user. Note: The only section that references LDAP is the auth section. That's because account and session rely on pam_unix to pick up the information using nss_ldap (i.e. /etc/nsswitch.conf says "files ldap" for passwd, group, etc.) This seems to work for me... Also, note that my LDAP server stores Samba passwords too, so that's why the password section uses pam_smbpass (which in turn is setup to access LDAP via /etc/samba/smb.conf) rather than pam_ldap. This is so both the Unix and SMB passwords are updated in LDAP. Anyway, here's my file. Anyone want to pick holes in it? Indented lines are just mail formatting... #%PAM-1.0 # This file is auto-generated. # User changes will be destroyed the next time authconfig is run. auth required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_env.so auth sufficient /lib/security/$ISA/pam_ldap.so debug auth sufficient /lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so use_first_pass likeauth auth required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_deny.so account required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so account sufficient /lib/security/$ISA/pam_succeed_if.so uid < 100 quiet account required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_permit.so password requisite /lib/security/$ISA/pam_cracklib.so retry=3 password sufficient /lib/security/$ISA/pam_smbpass.so use_authtok password sufficient /lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so nullok use_authtok md5 shadow password required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_deny.so session required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_limits.so session required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so session required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel/ umask=0077

Hello, i saw you posted on dovecot.org and was hoping you could assist with a problem i have with dovecot. I installed the attached file to webmin and clicked it said it installed correctly: Dovecot IMAP/POP3 Server in /usr/libexec/webmin/dovecot (372 kB) under category Servers I clicked the link and then clicked "Start Dovecot Server" from the webmin panel and got this error: Failed to start Dovecot : I assume this means a file is missing. My config file looks like this: dovecot=/usr/sbin/dovecot dovecot_config=/etc/dovecot.conf init_script=dovecot pid_file=/var/run/dovecot/master.pid There doesn't appear to be a dovecot directory in: etc/rc.d/init.d/ Perhaps that's the issue? I'm running Redhat Linux 4. Can you assist in any way? Any help is most appreciated. Thanks, Don

[Dovecot] imap service not working
by LeVA 26 Aug '06

26 Aug '06

Hi! I'm using dovecot-1.0.rc7 with pop3 and imap. The pop3 is ok, really, no problem at all. With imap, I have the following problem: From the client side it looks like it logs in - logs out - logs in - logs out... can not see any emails or directories. From the server side, I can see these in the logs: dovecot: Aug 26 22:29:00 Info: auth(default): client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=IMAP secured lip=x.x.x.x rip=x.x.x.x dovecot: Aug 26 22:29:00 Info: auth(default): client out: CONT 1 dovecot: Aug 26 22:29:00 Info: auth(default): client in: CONT 1 AHRlc3p0AGxvZmFzeg== dovecot: Aug 26 22:29:00 Info: auth(default): client out: OK 1 user=teszt MAIL=maildir:/ dovecot: Aug 26 22:29:00 Info: auth(default): master in: REQUEST 30 15660 1 dovecot: Aug 26 22:29:00 Info: auth(default): master out: USER 30 teszt uid=8010 gid=8010 home=/var/mail/virtual/teszt/Maildir/./ dovecot: Aug 26 22:29:00 Info: IMAP(teszt): Effective uid=8010, gid=8010 dovecot: Aug 26 22:29:00 Info: IMAP(teszt): maildir: data=/ dovecot: Aug 26 22:29:00 Info: IMAP(teszt): maildir: root=, index=, control=, inbox= dovecot: Aug 26 22:29:00 Info: imap-login: Login: user=<teszt>, method=plain, rip=x.x.x.x, lip=x.x.x.x, TLS These messages are repeating, but with an incrementing number: "USER 30 teszt". This number after the 'USER' word increments with every login. The user's mail directory has 770 perms, and owned by 8010:8010 (the teszt user's UID and GID). The cur/new/tmp folders gets created, but nothing more. The MTA on the server puts the messages inside the new/ folder, and I can get the mails with pop3 from the 'teszt' account. Only imap is acting funny. This "infinite loop" happens with Thunderbird, but I tried it with KMail too. The latter says right after the login procedure: "The connection to the server IMAP Account was unexpectedly closed or timed out. It will be re-established automatically if possible." Is there some script which makes the maildir folder "ready" for use (like the mkmaildir with courier imap), or is there some special file which I must put in it to make it work? Thanks for the help!

[Dovecot] separate passdb for imap and pop3
by LeVA 26 Aug '06

26 Aug '06

Hi! Is this possible? I couldn't find any writings about the 'auth' (like 'auth default') keyword in the wiki. What does that mean? Can I setup seperate user and password dbs for sepearate circumstances? I've tried to experiment with it and added two auths: auth pop3 { mechanisms = plain digest-md5 passdb passwd-file { args = /etc/dovecot_pop3.passwd } userdb passwd-file { args = /etc/dovecot_pop3.passwd } user = _dv_auth } auth imap { mechanisms = plain digest-md5 passdb passwd-file { args = /etc/dovecot_imap.passwd } userdb passwd-file { args = /etc/dovecot_imap.passwd } user = _dv_auth } But how can I configure dovecot to use the 'auth imap' for imap authentications, and use 'auth pop3' for pop3 authentications. With the above setup dovecot always try to use the last one (auth imap). Any help would be appreciated! Thanks! Daniel -- LeVA

[Dovecot] Dovecot SSL issue on Solaris 10 x64 (64-bit)
by Patric 26 Aug '06

26 Aug '06

I'm having an issue with Thunderbird (and Opera) and Dovecot SSL on a Solaris 10. My OS is Solaris 10 6/06 x86 (running in 64-bit mode) using ZFS (disk mirror) as the filesystem for my users. Dovecot version is 1.0rc7 (logs below are from 1.0rc6). First the connection asks if the SSL-certificate should be accepted, accepting it seems to work but then nothing happens. Thunderbird is quite silent, not always displays an error message, it just seems that there are no emails to download. It works fine in Mac OS X Mail.app with POP3s and IMAPs (both SSL). But not for Thunderbird (1.5.0.5) and Opera (latest). Setting "verbose_ssl=yes" and "auth_debug=yes" in the configuration gives this error from a Thunderbird login: Aug 16 14:16:28 credo dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.warning] pop3-login: SSL_accept() failed: error:140D308A:SSL routines:TLS1_SETUP_KEY_BLOCK:cipher or hash unavailable [85.225.200.123] Aug 16 14:16:28 credo dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.info] pop3-login: Disconnected: rip=85.225.200.123, lip=195.198.174.212, TLS Aug 16 14:16:29 credo dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.warning] pop3-login: SSL_accept() failed: error:140D308A:SSL routines:TLS1_SETUP_KEY_BLOCK:cipher or hash unavailable [85.225.200.123] Aug 16 14:16:29 credo dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.info] pop3-login: Disconnected: rip=85.225.200.123, lip=195.198.174.212, TLS It seems to be that the OpenSSL installed with Solaris 10 is abit "broken" or missing the cryptographic procotols needed. (at least from what I've read on the Internet) Strange that it works fine with Mail.app on Mac OS X. So, I installed the latest OpenSSL, compiled, tested and installed. (no problems occured) Back to compiling Dovecot, used this oneliner to point it to the new OpenSSL (and my compile settings): env PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/ssl/lib/pkgconfig ./configure --sysconfdir=/usr/local/etc --with-ssldir=/usr/local/etc/ssl Worked! bash-3.00$ egrep "^SSL_" config.log SSL_CFLAGS='-I/usr/local/ssl/include ' SSL_LIBS='-L/usr/local/ssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto -lsocket -lnsl -ldl ' But gives this error message when I compile: gcc -std=gnu99 -g -O2 -Wall -W -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wpointer-arith -Wchar-subscripts -Wformat=2 -Wbad-function-cast -I/usr/local/ssl/include -o ssl-build-param ssl-init-main.o ssl-init-openssl.o ssl-init-gnutls.o ../lib/liblib.a -L/usr/local/ssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto -ldl -lsocket -lnsl -lrt -lsendfile ld: warning: file /usr/local/ssl/lib/libcrypto.a(dh_asn1.o): wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64 Undefined first referenced symbol in file DH_generate_parameters ssl-init-openssl.o ERR_get_error ssl-init-openssl.o ERR_error_string_n ssl-init-openssl.o i2d_DHparams ssl-init-openssl.o ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors.

But I seem to have problems getting Dovecot to compile with the new OpenSSL (64-bit issue?). Anyone got any hints on what I should do? With Regards, Patric

[Dovecot] imap daemon consuming all the cpu
by Rui Lopes 26 Aug '06

26 Aug '06

Hello, I've tried to do a full text search on the inbox, it run fine, but the imap daemon started to eat all the CPU until I closed the email client. I'm running dovecot 1.0.rc7 [using kqueue] on FreeBSD 6.1. ktrace shows this pattern over and over (its seems to be looping): 49021 imap CALL kevent(0x4,0,0,0x80df000,0x5,0xbfbfe988) 49021 imap RET kevent 1 49021 imap CALL gettimeofday(0x80d0b00,0x80d0b08) 49021 imap RET gettimeofday 0 49021 imap CALL gettimeofday(0x80d0b00,0x80d0b08) 49021 imap RET gettimeofday 0 49021 imap CALL kevent(0x5,0,0,0xbfbfe930,0x1,0xbfbfe928) 49021 imap RET kevent 1 49021 imap CALL gettimeofday(0xbfbfe990,0) 49021 imap RET gettimeofday 0 Maybe this is useless to track the cause... :( Unfortunately(?) I can't reproduce this again, because searches run OK. Best regards, Rui Lopes

[Dovecot] High CPU load
by Nagy László 25 Aug '06

25 Aug '06

Hello, I'm using dovecot-1.0.b9 on a FreeBSD 6.1 system. Usually we have 6 clients connected to dovecot through IMAPs. These clients are Thunderbird 1.5 programs. After some hours, one or two processed go up to 100% WCPU. As an example, this is what I see when I run 'top': last pid: 5111; load averages: 1.34, 1.82, 1.75 up 13+00:04:09 15:26:59 150 processes: 2 running, 147 sleeping, 1 zombie CPU states: 21.2% user, 0.0% nice, 47.7% system, 0.0% interrupt, 31.1% idle Mem: 149M Active, 368M Inact, 196M Wired, 29M Cache, 111M Buf, 255M Free Swap: 5120M Total, 548M Used, 4572M Free, 10% Inuse PID USERNAME THR PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE C TIME WCPU COMMAND 52627 thomas 1 109 0 2940K 1500K CPU1 0 21:49 99.02% imap When there are two rebellious clients, they occupy 50-50% CPU time. If I restart thunderbird, then all goes well for a couple of minutes. I need to solve this problem. I already had a system crash that was probably caused by the cpu heat. Pleas help me. Laszlo

[Dovecot] Restricting IP and/or user access (POP3/IMAP)
by Phil Clare 25 Aug '06

25 Aug '06

Hi, The documentation says to authenticate only from a specific IP or network… if you set this to 127.0.0.1 to indicate the local loop then this effectively blocks every IP address but this one. Since the extra field is in passdb then this would imply it can be done on a per user basis. Have you tried this?

[Dovecot] multiple mailboxes in imap
by einKI.ml 25 Aug '06

25 Aug '06

Hi I try to setup a mail server which fetches mails from some pop accounts and presents them through imap (with dovecot) to my local network. I get the mails with getmail at this works as it should. To use dovecot as a pop3 and imap server works too. Now I am trying to setup multiple mailboxes which then should be presented to the user as different folders. I think I have to use namespaces for this (is this correct?) So I tried to configure two namespaces with the following statement. namespace private { separator = / inbox = yes prefix = } namespace private { separator = / prefix = ns location = maildir:/data/server/mail/in/%u/ns } when i try to access the imap server with thunderbird I can receive mails for Inbox but when I want to subscripe an additional folder ns can be seen but is grayed out in thunderbird. To summarize this can anybody give me a hint or example how to configure multiple mailboxes which are located in different directories on the server. thx

[Dovecot] forward flag metadata
by Tim Schafer 24 Aug '06

24 Aug '06

In testing the migration from courier-imap to dovecot I've discovered that the forward flag on messages isn't kept track of in a standard way. courier-imap seems to keep track of forwarded messages in courierimapkeywords/:list dovecot seems to add an 'a' flag to the filename. Unfortunately this 'a' flag information doesn't seem to be given out by dovecot. It's like it's write only. Is it a bug that dovecot doesn't hand out the "forwarded" metadata? -- Regards, Tim Schafer Information Technology Logistics Easier with Technology Freight Solution Providers direct 916-376-6190 10453 Old Placerville Road fax 916-376-6156 Sacramento, CA 95827 tim_schafer(a)shipfsp.com

[Dovecot] getting dovecot unwedged
by Scott Murman 24 Aug '06

24 Aug '06

I'm having a problem with the dovecot server. I've upgraded to 1.0rc7 to no avail. My naive view is that a cache file is corrupt, or a lock file cannot be unset. Certain mailboxes cannot be accessed to read or write. Checking the process, the server looks stuck in an infinite poll/wait loop. telnetting directly to the server shows that things are definately amiss, though the original problem may have been caused by a faulty client (Apple Mail or Outlook). My question at this point is how to unwedge the server. Is there a cache repair utility, or a list of files which shouldn't exist? I don't see this info on the Wiki. After sortinig this out, I'm going to install mysql, since this seems to be the more-tested installation. Will dovecot automatically rebuild my current databases or do i need to prepare for sql by hand? -SM-

[Dovecot] dovecot v1.0 rc7 hung up
by Jack Chen 24 Aug '06

24 Aug '06

It looks like the v.0 RC7 is still not stable. It hangs almost every day. This morning I found that pop3 was not working but imap was working. I know other times when dovecot stop working, neither pop3 and imap worked. I just want to know if other users are getting the same problem.

Ok, I tried: sh -x /etc/rc.d/init.d/dovecot start and it started ok. Then I tried: sh /etc/rc.d/init.d/dovecot start and it started ok too. However, simply using: /etc/rc.d/init.d/dovecot start won't start. On a hunch, I disabled SELinux, and then: /etc/rc.d/init.d/dovecot start started ok. So I have an SELinux problem. Right now I'm doing a filesystem relabel. If that doesn't work, does anyone know where to go from here? Joseph D. Wagner

My maillog reports this: auth(default): vmysql: sql error[3]: MySQL server has gone away imap-login: Disconnected: user=<sales(a)coppersinkdepot.com>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured The MySQL server hasn't gone anywhere, I can log into it fine and other apps report no problems with it. Restarting Dovecot fixes this issue, but it'll just happen again later. I'm on OpenBSD 3.9 using vpopmail. I've looked through the mailing list archives but can't find any info on this specific problem. Any ideas?

[Dovecot] virtual user directories?
by Mike 23 Aug '06

23 Aug '06

I'm installing dovecot and hope to migrate my users from a POP3 system soon. I have the users in LDAP and LDAP is working, dovecot is using LDAP to authenticate my tests. What I'm trying to find is a setting when a user is authenticated by LDAP and dovecot, and that user directory does not exist in the location I have given for the private name space, I want dovecot to create the directory. Mentioning in a log that it created a directory is ok, but I want it to create the directory. I do not want to have to create the directories by hand (easy to do, I know, but that's not the point). Is there a way to tell dovecot to create any missing directories for authenticated users? Mike

[Dovecot] Maildir folder separator
by Mikko Kortelainen 23 Aug '06

23 Aug '06

Hi, There's been some demand from users to make it possible to use the period character (.) in folder names, but that is impossible when the folder separator is already period. Is there any possibility of replacing that which another separator, say a / ? -Mikko

[Dovecot] Problems with VersaMail on PalmOS
by Paul Tansom 23 Aug '06

23 Aug '06

I'm at the early stages of debugging this problem, but in case I can save some time because somebody else has already come across these issues I thought I'd try a quick post. I have an installation of Dovecot 0.99.14-1sarge0 from the Debian stable tree (so nothing cutting edge, but it's proving stable and reliable) that I am connecting to from a Palm TX with VersaMail 3.1C over IMAP. Sadly it doesn't display all the mail folders I have available and I'm not entirely sure why. So far I've not found a common link between which are displayed, and if I try renaming them then the ones displayed change - so I suspect there is a certain randomness to this. I am aware that it doesn't cope with subfolders, and all these are root folders. Some of the root folders are empty because they are simply acting as a container for other folders in case that is relevant. As I say I'm at the early stages, and I'm also looking at other Palm mail apps (but this came with it so it seemed a good starting point). I'll post more diagnostic details if I need help further down the line, but in the mean time if anyone has also seen this I'd be interested to hear any details. -- Paul Tansom | Aptanet Ltd. | http://www.aptanet.com

[Dovecot] Unable to get LDA working
by Gerard Seibert 23 Aug '06

23 Aug '06

FreeBSD 6.1 STABLE Postfix version 2.4-20060806 Dovecot v1.0.rc2 I have the following in the postfix main.cf file: mailbox_command = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver This is from the dovecot.conf file: default_mail_env = mbox:/var/mail/%u However, mail is never delivered with this configuration. This is an excerpt from the 'dovecot.log' file: deliver(gerard): Error: open(/var/mail/.temp.scorpio.seibercom.net.1928.e70d4dd9d14583ce) failed: Permission denied deliver(gerard): Error: file_lock_dotlock() failed with mbox file /var/mail/gerard: Permission denied deliver(gerard): Error: open(/var/mail/.temp.scorpio.seibercom.net.1932.e70d4dd9d14583ce) failed: Permission denied deliver(gerard): Error: file_lock_dotlock() failed with mbox file /var/mail/gerard: Permission denied deliver(gerard): Error: open(/var/mail/.temp.scorpio.seibercom.net.1950.dd8b6a29139b74ac) failed: Permission denied deliver(gerard): Error: file_lock_dotlock() failed with mbox file /var/mail/gerard: Permission denied deliver(gerard): Error: open(/var/mail/.temp.scorpio.seibercom.net.1951.847c445495634caa) failed: Permission denied deliver(gerard): Error: file_lock_dotlock() failed with mbox file /var/mail/gerard: Permission denied deliver(gerard): Error: open(/var/mail/.temp.scorpio.seibercom.net.1952.847c445495634caa) failed: Permission denied deliver(gerard): Error: file_lock_dotlock() failed with mbox file /var/mail/gerard: Permission denied I have several different users, and they all receive the same type of error message. I have reverted to having postfix deliver the mail and having dovecot as the POPs server. That works fine.

[Dovecot] Exempt mailboxes from indexing?
by B H 23 Aug '06

23 Aug '06

I looked through the wiki and the archives, but couldn't find an answer to this question. We use a webmail product that uses three dummy mbox dotfiles for storing configuration and temporary info. I'm trying to find a way to have dovecot's indexing ignore all dotfiles, and so far have had no luck (other than, of course, coding it in myself). Does anyone know if this is possible? Thanks. -Brian Hayden

[Dovecot] Performance problem with outlook & outlook express
by Luc Rocheleau 23 Aug '06

23 Aug '06

Hi, I've set up a dovecot server under redhat enterprise 4.3 with the basic configuration(mbox). Everything runs fine under webmail(squirrelmail) and thunderbird. When I try it under outlook/outlook express tough, it takes a couple of minutes after the authentication to get all headers where it takes a couple of seconds under thunderbird(both windows and linux version). I tried with these two versions with same results: dovecot-1.0.beta9 and dovecot-1.0.rc7 Any idea? Thanks for help and regards --

[Dovecot] 0.99.14-1.1.el3 vs 1.0-0_20.rc7.el3
by Esquivel, Vicente 23 Aug '06

23 Aug '06

Hello all, I am new to the list so bear with me. I am testing dovecot out on a test server running RHEL ES 3, I have installed 0.99.14-1.1.el3 and 1.0-0_20.rc7.el3. This server is using the mbox mailbox format, running sendmail, procmail, and using PAM to do authentication to an LDAP server. I get varying results between the two version. 0.99.14-1.1.el3 : Upon installing this I leave the defaults and login just fine, I can view mail just fine via outlook express and thunderbird. 1.0-0_20.rc7.el3: Upon installing this I leave the defaults and login just fine but I cannot view my email via outlook express or thunderbird. The logs indicate that it reads my inbox with no errors but I still cannot see anything. Can anyone please help me with this. Thanks Vicente

[Dovecot] 1.0 RC7 released
by Timo Sirainen 23 Aug '06

23 Aug '06

http://dovecot.org/releases/dovecot-1.0.rc7.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/dovecot-1.0.rc7.tar.gz.sig Can everyone now agree that there are no more hangs? :) * Require that Dovecot master process's version number matches the child process's, unless version_ignore=yes. Usually it's an accidental installation problem if the version numbers don't match. * Maildir: Create maildirfolder file when creating new maildirs. + ldap+prefetch: Use global uid/gid settings if LDAP query doesn't return them + %variables: Negative offsets count from the end of the string. Patch by Johannes Berg. - kqueue ioloop code rewrite - notify=kqueue might have caused connection hangs sometimes - deliver: If message body contained a valid mbox From_ line, it and the rest of the message was skipped. - mbox: We got into infinite loops if trying to open a 2 byte sized file as mbox. - Don't crash with ssl_disable=yes - quota plugin caused compiling problems with some OSes - mbox: After saving a mail to a synced mbox, we lost the sync which caused worse performance I think my v1.0 TODO list is: - avoid duplicate flag change notifications, or in case the message is also expunged don't bother notifying its flag changes at all (shouldn't be hard) - HFS+ avoid-hardlinks patch? - 32bit -> 64bit upgrade still doesn't work without assert-crashing: mail-cache-transaction.c: line 709 (mail_cache_add): assertion failed: (fixed_size == (unsigned int)-1 || fixed_size == data_size) - Courier-compatible INBOX. namespace gives "invalid namespace" errors I'm still not sure about the last one though. Could someone give me specific commands that clients send that causes it? As for the 32bit -> 64bit upgrade fix, could someone give me access to a x86-64 machine for a while to test it out?

[Dovecot] HMAC-MD5 / HMAC-MD5-context
by Chris Laif 23 Aug '06

23 Aug '06

$ dovecotpw -p testpass {HMAC-MD5}fe8522268d91e485ccac8f36800e4fa6b10363e2a371cfa61731109b450906cd I wonder if the prefix 'HMAC-MD5' is the correct notation here. According to RFC2104 an HMAC is calculated as follows: H(K XOR opad, H(K XOR ipad, text)) where H is the cryptographic hash function (MD5 in this case). Therefore the result has to be a 128 bit string, which is obviously not the case in the above shown example. In addition, the input value 'text' is missing if you only have a password K. Maybe it would be better to use {HMAC-MD5-CONTEXT} or {HMAC-MD5-CTX} ? Chris

[Dovecot] Can't Start dovecot from inetd
by Joseph D. Wagner 23 Aug '06

23 Aug '06

This one has me stumped. After upgrading from dovecot-1.0-beta8 to dovecot-1.0-rc6, I can't start dovecot from /etc/rc.d/init.d/dovecot. I can start dovecot directly from the command line (/usr/sbin/dovecot). I can still use /etc/rc.d/init.d/dovecot to query the status of dovecot and shutdown dovecot, but I can't use it to start dovecot. It just says "FAILED". diff scan of the two different versions of the /etc/rc.d/init.d/dovecot file says they're identical. Ideas? Joseph D. Wagner

[Dovecot] Please help, cant compile with mysql support
by Greg Deputy 22 Aug '06

22 Aug '06

I've been going round and round with this, and its driving me nuts. Previously, dovecot was erroring out during make due to some MySQL library issues. I thought I had that fixed, but now the compiled version I'm getting says it doesn't have MySQL support. I just started over, and noticed that ./configure is saying: Install prefix ...................... : /usr/local File offsets ........................ : 64bit I/O loop method ..................... : poll File change notification method ..... : dnotify Building with SSL support ........... : no Building with IPv6 support .......... : yes Building with pop3 server ........... : yes Building with mail delivery agent .. : yes Building with GSSAPI support ........ : no Building with user database modules . : static prefetch passwd passwd-file checkpassword sql (modules) Building with password lookup modules : passwd passwd-file shadow checkpassword sql (modules) Building with SQL drivers ............: I've tried running with: CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include/MySQL LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib ./configure --with-MySQL But same result. No MySQL support noted by ./configure. Any tips? Please help. Thanks.

[Dovecot] Dovecot 1.0rc7 quits without notice
by Chris Laif 22 Aug '06

22 Aug '06

Today I switched one of our servers from Courier (deployed 3-4y ago) to DCrc7. Everything seemed very nice (system load dropped significantly). Unfortunately after some time and ~8000 pop3-logins the main DC loop just quit without _any_ notice. Some pop3-login childs still showed up in the processlist, but the main listener on port 110 was gone. The above described scenario has been observed 2 times. Any suggestions are welcome.

[Dovecot] Filesystem Quota Enhancement Patch
by Scott Alter 22 Aug '06

22 Aug '06

I have just updated my patch that provides enhanced support for filesystem-based quotas in Dovecot. I provides 2 main features: * Support for group quotas * Number of messages quota for users of maildir If both user and group quotas are enabled on the filesystem, the plugin will report the quota that is closer to the maximum independently for both storage space and message count. The message count quota comes from the filesystem inode quota. This patch has been tested on Fedora Core only, but it should work on all other OSes. The only exception is there is no group support on Solaris (I believe this is a limitation of Sun's implementation of filesystem-based quotas). I believe this patch make Dovecot's filesystem-based quota support complete. So, after a little bit of testing, it would be nice to have this merged with the main distribution. Scott Alter

[Dovecot] messages_count too large errors (1.0RC5)
by Jeff Turner 22 Aug '06

22 Aug '06

Hi, Just today, Thunderbird started throwing errors when accessing a particular mail folder. Looking in the logs showed this: dovecot: Aug 09 15:36:31 Error: IMAP(nmenere): Corrupted index file /imap/mailboxes/nmenere/shared-settings/jira-support/index/.INBOX.Triaged/dovecot.index: messages_count too large (51 > 39) This is a new user's first attempt to access a shared jira-support/ folder, so there is no chance of their index files being corrupt. Deleting the dovecot* files didn't help. Neither did 'cp -rp .INBOX.Triaged .INBOX._Triaged' and then subscribing to the new folder. In fact, the problem seems to be with the files in cur/. There are 51 in total, and 39 of them have an 'i' flag: 1155084961.P27685Q5.redback.sydney.atlassian.com:2,Sbrk 1155084979.P27685Q6.redback.sydney.atlassian.com:2,Sbtk 1155085103.P27685Q10.redback.sydney.atlassian.com:2,Sbwk 1155085175.P28321Q1.redback.sydney.atlassian.com:2,Sbcki 1155085221.P27685Q12.redback.sydney.atlassian.com:2,Sbwk 1155085228.P28321Q4.redback.sydney.atlassian.com:2,Sbki 1155085231.P28321Q5.redback.sydney.atlassian.com:2,Sbki 1155085246.P28321Q6.redback.sydney.atlassian.com:2,Sbki Loading the maildir in mutt and re-saving them all to a clean maildir fixes the problem, by resetting the flags. Going through the logs, I see other users hitting this problem with other mailboxes. Anyone know what 'i' means? I guess it's a dovecot extension? I should mention that this happened a few months ago too, with 1.0b8 (I think). This is all running on a linux box, mail delivered with procmail, no special settings. Anyone seen this before? Cheers, Jeff

[Dovecot] Dovecot authorisation problem

[Dovecot] dovecot vs qpopper performance testing results
by asko 21 Aug '06

21 Aug '06

Hi, I did some performance testing with dovecot and qpopper, if anyone is interested.. Hardware: Dual Xeon 2.8 with HT enabled (dmesg sees 4 cpu-s), 1 GB RAM, SCSI RAID 1 with 2x Maxtor Atlas 10K V disks. Software: CentOS 4.3, Qpopper 4.08 in standalone mode vs Dovecot 1.0-0_19.rc6, ext3 filesystem Mailbox format Mbox, tested Pop3 with PAM authentication My setup had 15 test users with 15 identical 40 MB mbox files. Each mbox had 370 messages, 35 % of them had attachments. So average message size is about 110 KB, average attachment size 220 KB. "rabid" utility is part of postal package (http://www.coker.com.au/postal/) Command line, which fetches and deletes all the messages from users in the textfile: rabid -p 1 192.168.x.x ./users - Resulting fields are: time,messages,data(K),errors,connections,SSL connections,IMAP connections Results (only the best one shown): Qpopper: 1 parallel processes: 12:36,1020,111470,0,6,0,0 5 parallel clients: 12:44,3246,366207,0,13,0,0 15 parallel clients: 13:06,4099,481347,0,48,0,0 Dovecot: p1: 12:19,3316,367859,0,13,0,0 p5: 12:50,4653,524456,0,34,0,0 p15: 12:56,5063,578889,0,84,0,0 As you can see, Dovecot is faster.. With 15 parallel processes it seems to have saturated my 100Mbit/s LAN (578889 kB data in one minute). Dovecot had noticeably smaller disk IO and system load was smaller too, probably thanks to smaller IO. Qpopper performed better than I hoped.. It is probably due fast disks of the test system, I wouldn't expect such numbers using single IDE disk. Conclusion: The hardware was too fast for testing, LAN became a bottleneck atleast once. The results could be different with different mbox structure.. Anyway, I was convinced, Dovecot wins. -- asko

[Dovecot] Acl, Namespace, User Confusion
by Jim Horner 19 Aug '06

19 Aug '06

I'm using dovecot RC6. I have a group named "cmpymail" with 2 users "jdoe(a)arinbe.com" and "jsmith(a)arinbe.com". I set up a mail folders like: drwxrwx--- 4 cmpymail cmpymail 4096 2006-08-13 02:21 cmpymail drwxrwx--- 3 jdoe users 4096 2005-11-21 13:34 jdoe drwxrwx--- 3 jsmith users 4096 2006-08-13 02:27 jsmith drwxrwx--- 3 fred users 4096 2006-08-13 02:27 fred drwxrwx--- 3 wilma users 4096 2006-08-13 02:27 wilma In dovecot.conf namespace public { separator = . prefix = COMPANY. location = maildir:/home/services/mail/arinbe.com/company/Maildir:CONTROL=%h/shared-se… hidden = no } I have a dovecot-shared file -rw-rw---- 1 cmpymail cmpymail 0 2006-08-13 13:24 dovecot-shared What I can not do is restrict access to cmpymail to -just- jdoe and jsmith. I've looked at http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2006-June/013683.html I've tried adding mail_plugin_dir = /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugins = acl and a dovecot-acl file owner user=jdoe(a)arinbe.com lrwstiekxa user=jsmith(a)arinbe.com lrwstiekxa user=jdoe rwstiekxa user=jsmith lrwstiekxa I am not exactly sure what username to use. All users are in LDAP. The "cmpymail" group shows # getent group cmpymail:*:5555:jdoe,jsmith Nothing I do seems to work. I either get errors that wilma and fred can't access cmpymail, for instance when wilma/fred try to subscribe to folders, or wilma and fred have complete access to cmpymail (if I change cmpymail's group to users instead of cmpymail). Is there a way to restrict access like I want? Thanks, Jim

Dear Tim Schafer, Take a look at my sample dovecot-ldap.conf hosts = localhost dn = cn=root,dc=ceylonlinux,dc=com dnpass = secret ldap_version = 3 base = dc=ceylonlinux,dc=com deref = never scope = subtree user_attrs = mail,homeDirectory=mailMessageStore,uidNumber=1003,gidNumber=1003 user_filter = (&(objectClass=user)(mail=%u)) pass_attrs = mail=user,userPassword=password pass_filter = (&(objectClass=user)(mail=%u)) default_pass_scheme = CRYPT user_global_uid = 1003 user_global_gid = 1003 Here I am using my own schema called "user", but in your case change it to inetOrgPerson or the schema name you are using. I think the most common problem in this process is the ldap filter. Above in my configuration user_filter and pass_filter are used as ldap filters for querying user name and password. There I am using mail attribute. gid and uid are belong to the user vmail. May be this explanation will help you to figure out your problem You can refer my article in the following link for further reference http://www.ceylonlinux.com/pdf/openldap_backsql_postfix_maildir_cl.pdf Cheers!!!

[Dovecot] auth failure with digest-md5
by LeVA 18 Aug '06

18 Aug '06

Hi! I'm using: Dovecot 1.0.beta8 OpenBSD 3.9 KMail 1.9.3 My password file contains only one user now. I've changed its password to a dumb one: 'asd' (so this is not a wrong password failure :) I've configured the PLAIN and DIGEST-MD5 mechanisms in dovecot.conf, and I'm only using pop3. Also I've turned on the verbose auth logging, and I'm attaching the logs inline. My password db contains the {DIGEST-MD5} prefixed password. The problem is very simple but very weird. I start the dovecot server and try to log in. It succeeds, I'm happy. But after one (the first) success, all further logins fails. Yes this a sometimes working/sometimes not problem, which is rare in this business... Here is the log of the first success: 00:48:41 Info: auth(default): client in: AUTH 1 DIGEST-MD5 service=POP3 secured lip=192.168.0.202 rip=192.168.0.3 resp= <newline> 00:48:41 Info: auth(default): client out: CONT 1 cmVhbG09IiIsbm9uY2U9ImJua2tUaHBDVURJblFENWRJZlgyb1E9PSIscW9wPSJhdXRoIixjaGFyc2V0PSJ1dGYtOCIsYWxnb3JpdGhtPSJtZDUtc2VzcyI= <newline> 00:48:41 Info: auth(default): client in: CONT 1 dXNlcm5hbWU9ImxldmEiLHJlYWxtPSIiLG5vbmNlPSJibmtrVGhwQ1VESW5RRDVkSWZYMm9RPT0iLGNub25jZT0iTy9MYndLMVo1dWc4ZURiT2wzaWlhN2ZsTUVTV3MvN1JSc05HL3JPbzhpND0iLG5jPTAwMDAwMDAxLHFvcD1hdXRoLGRpZ2VzdC11cmk9InBvcC8xOTIuMTY4LjAuMjAyIixyZXNwb25zZT0wYTQ3ZmUyNmVlMDg0MWE4ZDgzNTM3NzI5MzUxZmE3YQ== <newline> 00:48:41 Info: auth(default): client out: CONT 1 cnNwYXV0aD01MmQ1YTRlNTVhNWNiYzA0NDk2YTg5ODcyMDMwMGUxYw== <newline> 00:48:41 Info: auth(default): client in: CONT 1 <newline> 00:48:41 Info: auth(default): client out: OK 1 user=username <newline> 00:48:41 Info: auth(default): master in: REQUEST 9 15718 1 <newline> 00:48:41 Info: auth(default): master out: USER 9 username uid=6000 gid=6000 home=/var/mail/virtual/username/./ <newline> 00:48:41 Info: pop3-login: Login: user=<username>, method=DIGEST-MD5, rip=192.168.0.3, lip=192.168.0.202, TLS <newline> 00:48:41 Info: POP3(username): Disconnected: Logged out top=0/0, retr=0/0, del=0/0, size=0 And after that, every login fails: 00:49:28 Info: auth(default): client in: AUTH 1 DIGEST-MD5 service=POP3 secured lip=192.168.0.202 rip=192.168.0.3 resp=dXNlcm5hbWU9ImxldmEiLHJlYWxtPSIiLG5vbmNlPSJibmtrVGhwQ1VESW5RRDVkSWZYMm9RPT0iLGNub25jZT0iTy9MYndLMVo1dWc4ZURiT2wzaWlhN2ZsTUVTV3MvN1JSc05HL3JPbzhpND0iLG5jPTAwMDAwMDAyLHFvcD1hdXRoLGRpZ2VzdC11cmk9InBvcC8xOTIuMTY4LjAuMjAyIixyZXNwb25zZT0wMWRkMDNjYTcyMzBmMzM5YjRiY2NlM2VmMTcwMGU4Yw== <newline> 00:49:28 Info: pop3-login: Aborted login: method=DIGEST-MD5, rip=192.168.0.3, lip=192.168.0.202, TLS <newline> 00:49:28 Info: auth(default): passwd-file /etc/dovecot.passwd: Read 1 users I can notice that the second (the failure) log is shorter than the first (the success). Maybe something is missing from there. The PLAIN auth mechanism is working, even after a failed DIGEST-MD5 login. In fact the PLAIN login always works :) Thanks! Daniel -- LeVA

[Dovecot] LDAP Auth problems with auth_bind=yes
by Rob Coward 18 Aug '06

18 Aug '06

Hi, I first posted this problem a day or two ago and have not seen any responses yet. To clarify my problem, I am authenticating virtual users against Active Directory on Win2k3, where their login id is their email address. I am using an almost identical setup to Suranga's below, however my initial bind user doesn't have access to the userPassword attribute, so I am using: auth_bind = yes This is working fine when users enter their correct email address & password, or if the email address is not found, however if a valid email address is given but the password is incorrect, it seems to kill something in the ldap_auth code as all further connections get a temporary authentication error at the client, and the following in /var/log/maillog: Aug 18 13:04:31 gm-ho-lin-06 dovecot: auth(default): client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=IMAP secured lip=::ffff:127.0.0.1 rip=::ffff:127.0.0.1 resp=ADA5OTlAc3RvcmVzLmdhbWUuY28udWsAOTk5MA== Aug 18 13:04:31 gm-ho-lin-06 dovecot: auth(default): ldap(0999@stores.game.co.uk,::ffff:127.0.0.1): bind search: base=OU=Stores,OU=UK,DC=group,DC=game,DC=net filter=(&(objectClass=user)(mail=0999(a)stores.game.co.uk)) Aug 18 13:04:31 gm-ho-lin-06 dovecot: auth(default): ldap(0999@stores.game.co.uk,::ffff:127.0.0.1): ldap_search() failed: Operations error Aug 18 13:04:31 gm-ho-lin-06 dovecot: auth(default): client out: FAIL 1 user=0999(a)stores.game.co.uk temp Aug 18 13:04:31 gm-ho-lin-06 dovecot: imap-login: Aborted login: user=<0999(a)stores.game.co.uk>, method=PLAIN, rip=::ffff:127.0.0.1, lip=::ffff:127.0.0.1, secured Is the auth_ldap code not resetting the ldap connection bind details to the dn/dnpass values for each login ?

[Dovecot] How to change passwords on LDAP Server?
by Luis Motta Campos 18 Aug '06

18 Aug '06

Dear List People Someone here could please send me some advice on changin' LDAP passwords? It seems that everything is working nice, except by dovecot: I can send emails using my new LDAP password trought postfix smtp authentication, I can login to my Intranet website and to the Mod-LDAP protected pages on my company. I just can't POP my mail messages, because Dovecot says "dovecot-auth: ldap(user(a)company.net): password mismatch". I guess this is because I'm incorrectly coding the password.

[Dovecot] OT: best way to move maildirs to another host ?
by Brice Figureau 18 Aug '06

18 Aug '06

Hi, I'm sorry because this mail is a little bit off-topic, but Timo's email titled "1.0RC7 Released" made me think about a possible issue for me. I have to move an old dovecot installation (1.0b2) from an i386 server to a new x86_64 server running latest available dovecot. My concern is about moving all my users' mail stored as maildir onto this new server. What would be the best way to do that ? >From Timo's comment on 32bits->64bits migration, I guess I'll have to move only the maildirs (and get rid of dovecot cache files), right ? Next, from what I remember about maildir, the message names usually contain the inode so that the file name is unique. If I strictly move the files, I can be sure that the moved files won't have the same inodes number as what is in the name. Should I care ? Or should I use something different than scp/rsync to perform the migration ? Thanks for your answers, Regards, -- Brice Figureau <brice+dovecot(a)daysofwonder.com>

[Dovecot] dovecot mbox to dovecot maildir migration
by Michael Blancas 18 Aug '06

18 Aug '06

Hi, I'm migrating accounts from one server with dovecot mbox and pam nss-ldap authentication to a new server with dovecot maildir and mysql auth (no posix accounts). My problem is the pop3 uidl format on the two servers are different, even though I'm using pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv in both configs, I'm always re-downloading left messages on my test runs. Is there a way I could reuse the X-UID and X-IMAPbase headers on the converted mails. Issuing the UIDL command via pop3 always give a different result for the mbox and maildir spools. The X-UID and X-IMAPbase headers are present in the converted mails. The first number of X-IMAPbase maps to the mail UIDVALIDITY and the second is the same as X-UID, the mail uid. Thanks.

[Dovecot] kqueue rewrite testing, try #3
by Timo Sirainen 18 Aug '06

18 Aug '06

So, apparently the original kqueue code was working fine after all, although it was much more complex than it really needed to be. So, this time there's a really simple and pretty kqueue implementation: http://dovecot.org/nightly/dovecot-latest.tar.gz Tested that it seems to work with FreeBSD.

To avoid having some stupid new problems with 1.0rc7, could you test this night's snapshot once it arrives in a couple of hours: http://dovecot.org/nightly/dovecot-20060811.tar.gz Especially people who had compiling problems with 1.0rc6. Also everyone who are still experiencing hangs could you try the suggestions in this mail and tell me what happened: http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2006-August/015377.html

[Dovecot] BSD people, please test kqueue changes
by Timo Sirainen 17 Aug '06

17 Aug '06

I rewrote much of the kqueue code since the old code didn't handle properly the case when both input and output I/O handlers were added to the same file descriptor with different callbacks. This is done commonly in Dovecot, so I'm wondering why more people didn't complain about problems with it.. :) I don't anyway have access to any BSDs so the code is completely untested. Please test how it works before 1.0rc7 :) http://dovecot.org/nightly/dovecot-latest.tar.gz I'd guess the hangs caused by recent RC versions were because the default was to use notify=kqueue instead of notify=none. I changed this back to none unless --with-ioloop=kqueue is used. There are a couple of things in the code that I'm not completely sure of. The kqueue() manual page says that EV_ADD "modifies" the event if it already exists. What exactly does that mean? Does it mean that the filter is replaced, or that it's ORed into the existing one? The same question for the EV_DELETE, does it delete everything or only those filters given in parameters? The code currently assumes ORing and EV_DELETE deleting only the given filters, since this is what the original code also did. I suppose the data and udata parameters don't matter in EV_DELETE since they weren't given originally in ioloop-notify-kqueue.c either, so I left them that way.

I did a few more changes and it seems to be working with FreeBSD. I didn't before realize that event filters weren't bitmasks so that broke things. Anyway, a bit more "real world testing" would be better than my test program and telnet localhost -tests :) I'll release 1.0rc7 in any case today before I go to sleep (so, max. 6 hours or so). http://dovecot.org/nightly/dovecot-latest.tar.gz

[Dovecot] LDAP usernames with spaces
by Tim Schafer 17 Aug '06

17 Aug '06

I'm trying to setup dovecot to work with an existing virtual user database in LDAP in order to replace courier-imap. I have users in LDAP with dn of the following form cn=Firstname Lastname,ou=company,dc=domain,dc=com and the uid attribute containes a userid of the form flastname The on disk format for an account is: /home/exim/<uid>/.maildir My first problem is that I cannot get dovecot to authenticate the existing DNs It complains: dovecot: auth(default): plain(?,ipaddress): Username contains disallowed characters I'm assuming it doesn't like the spaces. Any way around this? Also, I don't see any way to support the seperate username and userid where the username is for authentication and the userid is used for on disk pathname. Anyway to support this? Thanks in advance. -- Regards, Tim Schafer

[Dovecot] Mailbox isn't a valid mbox file (dovecot 1.0-0.beta8.2.fc5)

17 Aug '06

Hello, I have upgraded my dovecot-0.99.13-3.FC3 to dovecot-1.0-0.beta8.2.fc5 recently and now am having weird problem. If somebody's mailbox has the first line in a form of From "User Name" <user(a)host.domain.edu> Thu Oct 7 14:20:00 1999 instead of From user(a)host.domain.edu Thu Oct 7 14:20:00 1999 then that mailbox couldn't be precessed by dovecot. It wasn't a problem with 0.99.13, but it is a problem with 1.0. Is there any fix for that on a dovecot's side? I don't like the idea of going through all 100Gb of mailboxes and fixing the From line. Thank you, FiL

[Dovecot] .imap.index.data Files
by Nigel Cox 17 Aug '06

17 Aug '06

Hi, We recently had a mail storm which resulted in many tens of thousands of e-mails being delivered to each of 4 users in just 5 minutes. This was quickly resolved. However, one more savvy user though he could use the webmail (squirrelmail) to delete the e-mail without downloading it. He gave up on the idea though. I, however, removed the mail directly from the server file system. The problem now is that he has a .imap.index.data file of over 250MB! I have asked him to login again and view all the directories, I even sent him another test and asked him to delete this via webmail. None of this had any effect on the file. I thought the indexes were rebuilt with the deletion of a message? Any ideas?

[Dovecot] From passwd-file to Postgresql database
by Jonathan Ballet 17 Aug '06

17 Aug '06

Hello, I have a working installation of Dovecot, which use passwd-file for both users and passwords databases. My setup uses CRAM-MD5 for the authentification mechanism and the password in my passwd-file was stored encoded with HMAC-MD5. Now, I want to use Postgresql to replace those passwd-files. So I make the necessary change in my dovecot.conf file : ========================================= userdb sql { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf } passdb sql { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf } ========================================= In the dovecot-sql.conf file, I comment out the simplest query, and change the default_pass_scheme to HMAC-MD5 (as in my previous setup). I put my users from the passwd-file into my database, with the same user id, and the same password (starting with {HMAC-MD5}) ... ... but it fails :( The log file says to me : ========== dovecot: 2006-08-14 15:36:12 Info: auth(default): cram-md5(jon,xxx): password mismatch ========== I tried several other password schemes (DIGEST-MD5, PLAIN-MD5, PLAIN), but only PLAIN seems to work (of course, I changed the password in the database accordingly). The documentation isn't very clear about this (or I don't find it ?) : - in an "old" auth.txt, it is written that only PLAIN is supported, but I don't knwo if I can trust it ? - I've got an old dovecot-pgsql.conf (2004, maybe from dovecot 0.9x ?), which said that supported scheme are "PLAIN, PLAIN-MD5, DIGEST-MD5, and CRYPT" So, what I am doing wrong ? And what is correct (or not) in my previous search ? Regards, -- Jonathan

[Dovecot] Mailbox isn't a valid mbox file (dovecot 1.0-0.beta8.2.fc5)
by Dmitry Filonov 16 Aug '06

16 Aug '06

Hello, I have upgraded my dovecot-0.99.13-3.FC3 to dovecot-1.0-0.beta8.2.fc5 recently and now am having weird problem. If somebody's mailbox has the first line in a form of From "User Name" <user(a)host.domain.edu> Thu Oct 7 14:20:00 1999 instead of From user(a)host.domain.edu Thu Oct 7 14:20:00 1999 then that mailbox couldn't be precessed by dovecot. It wasn't a problem with 0.99.13, but it is a problem with 1.0. Is there any fix for that on a dovecot's side? I don't like the idea of going through all 100Gb of mailboxes and fixing the From line. Thank you, FiL

[Dovecot] Port Change?
by Charlie Davis 16 Aug '06

16 Aug '06

Hey all, Got a super simple question that I can't find an answer to on google or on the list. I want dovecot to listen to port 143 and another port as well for imap. Is this possible? The dovecot.conf has a little note that says "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." but in the protocol section for imap, I don't see any example or what not of changing the port. Any help? -Charlie

[Dovecot] Authentication Failure
by William J. Dzieciolowski 16 Aug '06

16 Aug '06

Probably a newbie question.... sorry. Did a deluser a week or so ago, but didn't remove any of the users files. I re-enabled the user via useradd with the -u and set the uid the same as it was before. Now when I try and log the user into his mail via Thunderbird, /var/log/messages reports dovecot(pam_unix)[17259]: authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty= ruser= rhost= user=sean Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

[Dovecot] dovecot 1.0rc6 and LDAP problem

Hi, I have been using Dovecot with LDAP support (only for password authentication) for a couple of weeks already and everything was running smoothly so far.. till last week when discovered interesting thing: whenever I start LDAP server (openldap 2.3.24) before I start Dovecot everything is fine.. however when Dovecot is started first and then LDAP server it's not possible to authenticate :-( My dovecot-ldap.conf file: hosts = 127.0.0.1 auth_bind = yes auth_bind_userdn = uid=%u,ou=Users,dc=domain,dc=tld ldap_version = 3 base = ou=Users,dc=domain,dc=tld These are messages I get in syslog: slapd is down Aug 15 18:56:55 ftp dovecot: Dovecot v1.0.rc6 starting up Aug 15 18:56:56 ftp dovecot: auth(default): LDAP: Can't connect to server: 127.0.0.1 slapd is started Aug 15 18:58:36 ftp dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Inactivity: method=plain, rip=192.168.1.3, lip=192.168.1.2, TLS Aug 15 18:58:36 ftp dovecot: login: tried to change state 2 -> 2 (if you can't login at all, see src/lib/fdpass.c) slapd messages: Aug 15 18:57:19 ftp slapd[20544]: slapd starting Aug 15 18:57:36 ftp slapd[20544]: conn=0 fd=11 ACCEPT from IP=127.0.0.1:37703 (IP=0.0.0.0:389) Aug 15 18:57:36 ftp slapd[20544]: conn=0 op=0 BIND dn="uid=user,ou=Users,dc=domain,dc=tld" method=128 Aug 15 18:57:36 ftp slapd[20544]: conn=0 op=0 BIND dn="uid=user,ou=Users,dc=domain,dc=tld" mech=SIMPLE ssf=0 Aug 15 18:57:36 ftp slapd[20544]: conn=0 op=0 RESULT tag=97 err=0 text= Aug 15 18:58:39 ftp slapd[20544]: conn=0 op=1 BIND anonymous mech=implicit ssf=0 Aug 15 18:58:39 ftp slapd[20544]: conn=0 op=1 BIND dn="uid=user,ou=Users,dc=domain,dc=tld" method=128 Aug 15 18:58:39 ftp slapd[20544]: conn=0 op=1 BIND dn="uid=user,ou=Users,dc=domain,dc=tld" mech=SIMPLE ssf=0 Aug 15 18:58:39 ftp slapd[20544]: conn=0 op=1 RESULT tag=97 err=0 text= Aug 15 18:59:41 ftp slapd[20544]: conn=0 op=2 BIND anonymous mech=implicit ssf=0 Aug 15 18:59:41 ftp slapd[20544]: conn=0 op=2 BIND dn="uid=user,ou=Users,dc=domain,dc=tld" method=128 Aug 15 18:59:41 ftp slapd[20544]: conn=0 op=2 BIND dn="uid=user,ou=Users,dc=domain,dc=tld" mech=SIMPLE ssf=0 Aug 15 18:59:41 ftp slapd[20544]: conn=0 op=2 RESULT tag=97 err=0 text= Has anyone else has the same problem ?

[Dovecot] stale imap processes with 1.0.rc6 on FreeBSD
by Jeremy C. Reed 16 Aug '06

16 Aug '06

Was running dovecot-1.0.rc2 but many stale imap processes (only one user of IMAP). Switched to dovecot-1.0.rc6 but problem continued. This is on FreeBSD 4 something. Maybe it has bug with kqueue?? I read messages about the stale imap processes on the list. It seems to hit *BSD systems. But email about new release candidate indicated it should be fixed. I read on the pkgsrc commit list about --with-ioloop=best So I configured with that and saw that the I/O loop method is now kqueue. (I saved configure output and it was poll before). But the stale imap processes problem continues. For one user over past couple hours I have eight imap processes in "I" state. I have: File offsets ........................ : 64bit I/O loop method ..................... : kqueue File change notification method ..... : kqueue Building with SSL support ........... : yes (OpenSSL) Building with IPv6 support .......... : yes Building with pop3 server ........... : yes Building with mail delivery agent .. : yes Building with GSSAPI support ........ : no Building with user database modules . : static prefetch passwd passwd-file checkpassword (modules) Building with password lookup modules : passwd passwd-file pam checkpassword (modules) Building with SQL drivers ............: And I have: protocols = imap pop3 protocol imap { imap_client_workarounds = outlook-idle delay-newmail } (Just started using delay-newmail today.) My maillogs don't show any problems. The IMAP user tells me that Outlook says it has reset connections often. I see multiple imap-login Login within a few minutes for this same user who said received a connection reset in outlook at the same time. Just received a screenshot that said: Microsoft Office Outlook Failed to update headers. The TCP/IP connection unexpectedly terminated by the server. Then also received an error (in Outlook I think), like: imap session idle too long, connection reset (I don't have or use Outlook myself so can't test myself.) It is used for a lot of pop3 and seems fine with that. (It uses stunnel for pop3s but not imaps for over a week to eliminate stunnel from our troubleshooting). Any ideas on troubleshooting this would be appreciated. Jeremy C. Reed

[Dovecot] Dovecot - Issue with Maildir++ quotas
by Andrew Richards 16 Aug '06

16 Aug '06

Hi, I've been bitten by an issue running Squirrelmail on top of Dovecot using Maildir++ quotas. Having configured these quotas in Dovecot, I notice that Dovecot appears not to exclude the 'Trash' folder from its quota calculation (which it should do, according to the Maildir++ spec). Unfortunately this breaks Squirrelmail if I try to delete a message from a close-to-quota mailbox - as per July's thread: "Maildir++ quota - how to handle a full mailbox" Which unfortunately means that a fairly full mailbox can become 'Wedged' with Dovecot/Squirrelmail in this situation with its owner unable to delete messages if that's the only way they access their mailbox. I took a look at the source and found the 'Quota exceeded' lines in src/plugins/quota/quota-storage.c but didn't understand it well enough to dive in... except to notice that the 'Trash' folder doesn't appear to get excluded from the calculations. cheers, Andrew.

[Dovecot] multiple Authentication

I'm using the following authentication passing the full email address user(a)domain.com auth default { mechanisms = plain # Linuxconf passwd-like file with specified location passdb passwd-file { args = /etc/vmail/shadow.%d } # Linuxconf passwd-like file with specified location userdb passwd-file { args = /etc/vmail/passwd.%d } user = root } But - what I want to do is if the user doesn't enter the domain part I want it to assume one specific domain. How would I do that?

[Dovecot] POP3 and TLS don't work (dovecot 1.0 rc6)

Hi! It seems there are problem with POP3 connection when TLS enabled. Previously it worked fine, but for now it doesn't... Plain & SSL POP3 works. Plain, TLS & SSL IMAP works too. In logs nothing than: dovecot: Aug 16 10:36:23 Warning: pop3-login: SSL_accept() failed: error:1408F455:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:decryption failed or bad record mac [xxx.xxx.xxx.xx] xxx.. - remote ip address On client side: KMail - Could not connect to host Your POP3 server claims to support TLS but negotiation was unsuccessful. You can disable TSL in KDE using the crypto settings module. Thunderbird (on Windows) - nothing special, but can't connect. OS: Debian Linux __ Kaspars P.S. sorry for bad english

[Dovecot] default_realm problem
by Anton Martchukov 16 Aug '06

16 Aug '06

Hello List, I've upgraded to dovecot from FreeBSD ports, changed the config from previous 0.99 version, but meet a problem with %d variable beeing empty in userdb static configuration directive. Our server supports multiple domains, e.g. 'mxc.ru' and 'mail.mxc.ru'. Users can log into using their full e-mail address like antonm(a)mxc.ru or antonm(a)mail.mxc.ru, but the feature of adding default domain should also be present, e.g. when logging with user name 'antonm' server should assume username to be 'antonm(a)mxc.ru' cause 'mxc.ru' is the default domain. This wroked fine in 0.99 version, but, alas, I can't get it working in newer version. I've tried different settings combination, but all of them results in '%d' beeing empty Debug authentication log is: dovecot: Aug 16 10:59:46 Info: auth(default): auth(antonm(a)mxc.ru,10.3.1.192): username changed antonm(a)mxc.ru -> antonm dovecot: Aug 16 10:59:46 Info: auth(default): ldap(antonm,10.3.1.192): uid(user)=antonm userPassword(password)=<hidden> dovecot: Aug 16 10:59:46 Info: auth(default): client out: OK 1 user=antonm dovecot: Aug 16 10:59:46 Info: auth(default): master in: REQUEST 11 97887 1 dovecot: Aug 16 10:59:46 Info: auth(default): master out: USER 11 antonm uid=1004 gid=1004 home=/data/mai lspool//antonm The problem here seems to be with "username changed antonm(a)mxc.ru -> antonm", but I do not know how to switch it off. The relevant config file parts are: dovecot.conf: auth_default_realm = mxc.ru auth_username_chars = abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ01234567890.-_@ auth default { mechanisms = plain digest-md5 passdb ldap { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot-ldap.conf } userdb static { args = uid=1004 gid=1004 mail=maildir:/data/mailspool/%d/%n } } dovecot-ldap.conf: #all user attrs here are commented, since we don't get any user info from ldap, but checking a password #user_attrs = uid,homeDirectory,,,uidNumber,gidNumber #user_attrs = ,,,,,,, #user_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%u)) pass_filter = (&(objectClass=mailUser)(dc=%d)(uid=%n)(accountActive=TRUE)) default_pass_scheme = PLAIN The authentication is working, so on the pass_filter in dovecot-ldap.conf '%d' is resolved properly, but in userdb static's mail argument it's empty whatever I do. Thank you for your help! -- Anton Martchukov - http://www.martchukov.com

[Dovecot] Problems after upgrade (0.99.x -> 1.0.x)
by fazer69＠o2.pl 16 Aug '06

16 Aug '06

Hello :) I had a working Dovecot 0.99.x with the following dovecot.conf: ### ssl_disable = yes disable_plaintext_auth = no login = imap verbose_proctitle = yes default_mail_env = maildir:%h/Maildir auth = default auth_mechanisms = plain auth_userdb = passwd /etc/passwd auth_passdb = shadow /etc/shadow auth_user = root protocols = imap pop3 ### Then I've downloaded, compiled and installed Doveot 1.0.rc6, I tried lot of "possibilities" in the new dovecot.conf but I always get : dovecot: Dovecot v1.0.rc6 starting up dovecot: Login process died too early - shutting down dovecot: child 15288 (login) killed with signal 11 dovecot: child 15289 (login) killed with signal 11 dovecot: child 15290 (login) killed with signal 11 Some add. info: # dovecot -n # /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf ssl_disable: yes login_dir: /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login auth default: passdb: driver: shadow args: /etc/shadow userdb: driver: passwd How can I get the new Dovecot acting as the old one? I don't use pam (which seems to be default now), simply shadow passwords (Slackware). http://wiki.dovecot.org/UpgradingDovecot did not help me. TIA, websafe

[Dovecot] Migrating from qpopper to dovecot
by asko 16 Aug '06

16 Aug '06

Hi, I am planning a migration from Qpopper 4.0.5 to Dovecot.. I need to use mbox format (because Openwebmail does not have native Maildir support yet) and pop3. The system will have about 1500 users, once migrating is complete. To avoid users downloading their mailboxes all over again, i need to set "pop3_reuse_xuidl = yes".. But that option works since Dovecot 1.0alpha1. RHEL has latest stable version 0.99.11-2. So let me rephrase my question: is latest dovecot (1.0.rc6) stable enough to handle the load (mbox with pop3) or should I wait for the stable version to come out.. I want to avoid trouble under heavy load and/or with different pop3 clients. I found some problem reports of mbox related issues from dovecot mailing list. I could go with latest Qpopper 4.0.8, trading speed to safety.. If you have any similar experiences, please share your knowledge ;-) -- asko

[Dovecot] LDAP Authorising users from Active Directory
by Rob Coward 16 Aug '06

16 Aug '06

Hi, I am having stability problems setting up dovecot to authenticate virtual users against Active Directory on Win2k3. If the correct userid and password are used, everything works fine, see first logfile snippet below. If an unknown userid is used, again everything works fine. If I try logging in with a valid userid but get the password wrong, that connection is rejected (see second logfile snippet), and all subsequent connection even with correct userid/password are rejected with thunderbird getting a temporary auth failure (see third logfile snippet below). I am using auth_bind = yes and it seems as though after the failed login with an incorrect password, dovecot is loosing the dn & dnpass settings for the initial user lookup. I have found numerous references to PHP and ActiveDirectory on Win2k3 getting a similar "ldap_search() failed: Operations error" error and they suggested ensuring LDAP Version 3 is used and the Deref is set to 'never'. I am already using these setting to no avail. Has anyone else experience these problems, or have any suggestions on how to overcome it ?
