[Dovecot] Bug report v2.0.13 - CentOS x86_64 - NFS - mbox

24 Aug '11

Greetings to all. It's my first post to the list. We just completed a migration from qpopper to dovecot for our IMAP and POP3 services. We have a rather large mail environment (we are the biggest provider in Greece). So, here are the details: - Keep getting errors like these in our production environment Jul 22 00:18:21 pop01 dovecot: master: Error: service(pop3): child 4078 killed with signal 11 (core dumps disabled) Jul 22 00:19:31 pop03 dovecot: master: Error: service(pop3): child 18849 killed with signal 11 (core dumps disabled) --------------------------------------------------------------------- dovecot -n output --------------------------------------------------------------------- /opt/dovecot/sbin/dovecot -n # 2.0.13: /opt/dovecot/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5 x86_64 CentOS release 5.5 (Final) auth_cache_negative_ttl = 10 mins auth_cache_size = 5 M auth_cache_ttl = 10 mins auth_verbose = yes default_client_limit = 5000 default_process_limit = 500 disable_plaintext_auth = no first_valid_uid = 200 listen = * log_timestamp = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S " login_greeting = <COMPANY> ready mail_access_groups = mail otemail disk root mail_fsync = always mail_location = mbox:INDEX=/var/index/dovecot/%2.16Hn/%2.254Hn/%u mail_nfs_storage = yes mbox_lock_timeout = 2 mins mbox_min_index_size = 200 k mbox_read_locks = dotlock_try fcntl mbox_write_locks = dotlock_try fcntl passdb { args = /opt/dovecot/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext driver = ldap } protocols = imap pop3 service auth-worker { user = dovenull } service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 143 } inet_listener imaps { port = 993 ssl = yes } } service pop3-login { inet_listener pop3 { port = 110 } inet_listener pop3s { port = 995 ssl = yes } } ssl = no userdb { args = /opt/dovecot/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext driver = ldap } verbose_proctitle = yes protocol imap { imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail tb-extra-mailbox-sep mail_max_userip_connections = 100 } protocol pop3 { mail_max_userip_connections = 100 pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh pop3_fast_size_lookups = yes pop3_lock_session = yes pop3_reuse_xuidl = yes pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv } I enabled core dumps in one of our backend servers and here is the relevant gdb trace: [root@pop08 ~]# gdb /opt/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/pop3 <path_to_core_file>/core.9273 GNU gdb (GDB) Red Hat Enterprise Linux (7.0.1-32.el5_6.2) Copyright (C) 2009 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

[Dovecot] Cannot delete subfolder in public folder
by Karsten Becker 24 Aug '11

24 Aug '11

Hi there, I have the problem that I'm unable to delete a subfolder (again) I created within a public folder. I've already read about configuring Thunderbird to delete immediately - which I did. But it still doesn't work. I delete -> the folder is gone -> I get a TB error message saying "The folder doesn't exist" -> after restarting TB the folders appear again. Maybe someone has a hint. My tip is that I may have a wrong understanding of the ACL mechanism... :-( Regards from Berlin/Germany Karsten ------------------------ Log: > Aug 24 00:01:37 mail01 dovecot: imap(karsten.becker(a)company.eu): Debug: acl vfile: file /etc/dovecot/global-acls//.DEFAULT not found > Aug 24 00:01:37 mail01 dovecot: imap(karsten.becker(a)company.eu): Debug: acl vfile: file /srv/vmail/user-mailboxes/company.eu/karsten.becker/mailboxes/dovecot-acl not found > Aug 24 00:01:37 mail01 dovecot: imap(karsten.becker(a)company.eu): Debug: acl vfile: file /etc/dovecot/global-acls/Folders/test01/aaa not found > Aug 24 00:01:37 mail01 dovecot: imap(karsten.becker(a)company.eu): Debug: acl vfile: reading file /srv/vmail/public_folders/test01/aaa/dovecot-acl Here's the filesystem structure in /srv/vmail: > root@mail01.compdmz.local:/srv/vmail# ls -l public_folders/test01/ > total 20 > drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 2011-08-23 23:50 aaa > drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 4096 2011-08-23 21:45 cur > -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 25 2011-08-23 22:19 dovecot-acl > drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 4096 2011-08-23 21:45 new > drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 4096 2011-08-23 21:45 tmp > root@mail01.compdmz.local:/srv/vmail# Here's the content of dovecot-acl (there are another ones in subfolder aaa with the same content, inherited during creation): > authenticated lrwstipekx Here's my configuration of Dovecot: > # 2.0.13: /usr/local/dovecot-2.0.13/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf > # OS: Linux 2.6.32-33-server x86_64 Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS ext4 > doveconf: Warning: Dovecot was last started using /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf, but this config is /usr/local/dovecot-2.0.13/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf > auth_cache_negative_ttl = 0 > auth_cache_size = 10 M > auth_mechanisms = plain login > base_dir = /usr/local/dovecot/var/run/dovecot > dict { > acl = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-shared-mailboxes-mysql.conf > expire = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-expire-mysql.conf > quota = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-quota-mysql.conf > } > log_timestamp = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S " > login_greeting = Company Institute > mail_attachment_dir = /srv/vmail/attachments > mail_attachment_hash = %{sha256} > mail_cache_min_mail_count = 2 > mail_debug = yes > mail_location = mdbox:/srv/vmail/user-mailboxes/%d/%n > mail_plugins = acl expire quota > mailbox_idle_check_interval = 1 mins > namespace { > inbox = yes > location = > prefix = > separator = / > subscriptions = yes > type = private > } > namespace { > list = children > location = mdbox:/srv/vmail/user-mailboxes/%%d/%%n > prefix = Users/%%d/%%n/ > separator = / > subscriptions = no > type = shared > } > namespace { > list = children > location = maildir:/srv/vmail/public_folders:INDEX=/srv/vmail/user-mailboxes/%d/%n/public_folders-seen:LAYOUT=fs > prefix = Folders/ > separator = / > subscriptions = no > type = public > } > passdb { > args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql.conf > driver = sql > } > plugin { > acl = vfile:/etc/dovecot/global-acls:cache_secs=300 > acl_shared_dict = proxy::acl > expire = Trash > expire2 = Trash/* > expire3 = Junk > expire4 = Junk/* > expire_dict = proxy::expire > quota = dict:User quota::proxy::quota > quota_rule = *:storage=10485760 > quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+1048576 > quota_warning = storage=95%% quota-warning 95 %u > quota_warning2 = storage=80%% quota-warning 80 %u > } > postmaster_address = postmaster(a)company.eu > protocols = imap pop3 > service auth { > unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth_dovecot { > group = postfix > mode = 0660 > user = postfix > } > unix_listener auth-master { > mode = 0600 > user = vmail > } > user = root > } > service dict { > unix_listener dict { > mode = 0600 > user = vmail > } > } > service imap-login { > inet_listener imaps { > port = 993 > ssl = yes > } > process_min_avail = 2 > } > service imap { > vsz_limit = 512 M > } > service pop3-login { > inet_listener pop3s { > port = 995 > ssl = yes > } > } > service quota-warning { > executable = script /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh > user = vmail > } > ssl = required > ssl_cert = </etc/postfix/ssl/mail01.compdmz.local.crt > ssl_key = </etc/postfix/ssl/mail01.compdmz.local.key > userdb { > args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql.conf > driver = sql > } > verbose_proctitle = yes > protocol lda { > auth_socket_path = auth-master > postmaster_address = postmaster(a)company.eu > } > protocol imap { > imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail > imap_max_line_length = 128 k > mail_plugins = acl expire quota imap_acl imap_quota > } > protocol pop3 { > pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh > }

[Dovecot] acl with hierarchy separators mismatched config
by YAEGASHI Takeshi 24 Aug '11

24 Aug '11

Hi there, I'm testing dovecot 2.0.13 on Debian squeeze (deb from http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian) with the following doveconf -n. -------- # 2.0.13 (1449a2e2c1f5): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.26-2-openvz-amd64 i686 Debian 6.0.2 first_valid_uid = 8 mail_debug = yes mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir mail_plugins = listescape mail_log notify acl namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = separator = / type = private } namespace { list = children location = maildir:/var/mail/public:INDEX=~/Maildir/public prefix = Public/ separator = / subscriptions = no type = public } passdb { driver = pam } plugin { acl = vfile } protocols = " imap" ssl = no userdb { args = uid=mail gid=mail home=/var/mail/private/%u driver = static } protocol imap { mail_plugins = listescape mail_log notify acl imap_acl } -------- My primary interest is acl and listescape enabled folders in the public namespace. I've chosen "/" as the hierarchy separator to support folder names with dots ("."). /var/mail/public is a maildir with the maildir++ layout where the separator is a dot ("."). So I set up intial acls and folders as follows: -------- # mkdir /var/mail/public # echo 'anyone lra' >/var/mail/public/dovecot-acl # maildirmake.dovecot /var/mail/public/.aaa # echo 'anyone lrwstipekxa' >/var/mail/public/.aaa/dovecot-acl # chown -R mail.mail /var/mail/public -------- But my attempt to create a mailbox under Public/aaa fails with "Permission denied". -------- # imtest -a yaegashi localhost S: * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE AUTH=PLAIN] Dovecot ready. C: C01 CAPABILITY S: * CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE AUTH=PLAIN S: C01 OK Pre-login capabilities listed, post-login capabilities have more.

OK Getacl completed. . create Public/aaa/bbb . NO [NOPERM] Permission denied -------- If the layout of /var/mail/public switched to "fs" where the separator is "/", mailbox creation succeeds as expected. -------- namespace { list = children location = maildir:/var/mail/public:INDEX=~/Maildir/public:LAYOUT=fs prefix = Public/ separator = / subscriptions = no type = public } -------- -------- # maildirmake.dovecot /var/mail/public/aaa # echo 'anyone lrwstipekxa' >/var/mail/public/aaa/dovecot-acl # chown -R mail.mail /var/mail/public # imtest -a yaegashi localhost .... . getacl Public * ACL "Public" "anyone" alr .

NO Invalid mailbox name: Public/aaa/cur -------- Is this behavior expected? Misconfiguration or dovecot bug? I prefer the maildir++ layout with listescape as it's reserved-folder-name free (eg. cur new tmp). Regards, -- YAEGASHI Takeshi <yaegashi(a)debian.org>

[Dovecot] LDA and auth-userdb socket permissions
by a.smith＠ukgrid.net 24 Aug '11

24 Aug '11

Hi, just wanted to check this as the wiki seems to have contradictory information. With respect to running the LDA as multiple UIDs the wiki says: [QUOTE]If you're using more than one UID for users, you're going to have problems running dovecot-lda, as most MTAs won't let you run dovecot-lda as root[/QUOTE] But in the example for the config file the text reads: [QUOTE] service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { mode = 0600 user = vmail # User running dovecot-lda #group = vmail # Or alternatively mode 0660 + dovecot-lda user in this group } } [/QUOTE] So it says you can stick the LDA user just in the (vmail or whatever) group and that is enough. So you aren't restricted to a single UID for access anymore... I tested this and the later did not work, that is if I put my LDA user in the group for the auth-userdb socket with permissions 0660 I got an error back from dovecot saying that the owner was incorrect. So, as it stands I guess the bit about setting group should be removed from the wiki? Secondly, why doesn't this currently work? Why is the owner all important? thanks Andy.

[Dovecot] dovecot and tcpwrappers
by Kees Lemmens 23 Aug '11

23 Aug '11

Hi, I used dovecot 1.x for quite a while and it worked fine. However, I used it through inetd and used hosts.allow/deny to restrict access to only certain groups of systems. Since yesterday I have dovecot 2.0.13. But in version 2.0.13 it seems that starting using inetd doesn't work anymore : I only get a strange error message if I try to connect using telnet : telnet localhost imap doveconf: Fatal: execvp(imap-login) failed: No such file or directory I tried a lot of things but couldn't get it going over inetd so I decided to start it directly using an init script, also because you say in the wiki this is (now) the preferred method. That indeed works fine, but I realised today that dovecot is now completely ignoring all my hosts.allow/deny settings and so is worldwide accessible ! Is dovecot indeed ignoring hosts.allow/deny ? And if so, how can I have the same amount of protection as I previously had with dovecot 1.x over inetd ? BTW: I tried to post on the mailinglist but it seems I can't access them it the moment, altough I did subscribe and login. Is there anything wrong ? Thanks for your reply ! -- With best regards, Kees Lemmens. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Delft Institute of Applied Mathematics (DIAM), Faculty Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science, Delft University of Technology, Delft, The Netherlands,

[Dovecot] zlib plugin doesn't read concatenated .gz mailbox
by Dmitry Nezhevenko 23 Aug '11

23 Aug '11

Hi, I've observed that dovecot doesn't displays all mails from compressed via gzip mailbox (mbox). At the same time "mutt -f mailbox.gz" displays it correctly with all messages. I'm using archivemail to archive old mails. Internally it creates new "gzip" archive with "expired" messages and then concatenates it with archive. The easiest way to reproduce it without archivemail is to create two mailboxes, gzip them independently and then concatenate to one gzip archive. mutt, gunzip and other tools understands such archives. Also I've shared such mbox: http://dion.org.ua/uploads/2011/07/dovecot_test_gzip.gz It should contains ~20 messages. dovecot will "see" only two first. PS. % sudo dovecot --version 2.0.13 -- WBR, Dmitry

[Dovecot] dovecot's documentation dearth
by Postmaster 23 Aug '11

23 Aug '11

Hello. The first thing for me to say is thanks! I've been using dovecot since test 61 and it has basically performed flawlessly for me from day number 1. Dovecot makes me look like a genius sysadmin, especially compared to my colleagues struggling with exchange. So thanks, gracias, obrigado!! I'm working on a configuration for 2.0 and I'm finding the documentation somewhat difficult. I think it would be very helpful to me to have encountered a single page that detailed all available configuration sections. I don't know how to find out what the sections are, when to use them or what specifically they control. So far I've encountered... passdb plugin service protocol userdb local_name (and I think there is another one of these for ips) The service section itself would benefit from a single page detailing all of the possible types of service sections available. The next problem I've had is discovering that several parts of dovecot have no documentation at all even though they are standalone executables run by root. config, log, and ssl_params all run as root but there is also anvil and they look to me like they could support listening on a port if inet_interfaces is defined. You can say, "Relax fella, trust me. These programs are all part of dovecot and are run only if they're needed." Then I'll say, "Yes but I'm the administrator. I need to know how the parts fit together to know if the system's broken." Then you say, "Well that makes sense, but the things you're talking about aren't really configured. They are mostly internal to dovecot, they just happen to be broken out into external programs. You may as well be asking for documentation on a specific function in a library. If that's what you want, you can read through the source code." Well I guess that would be one solution. The bottom line is that it gives me an uncomfortableness to not be able to control or explain the operation of the software I'm supposedly administering. Take the program named log (which should be named dovecot-log or something less generic), it is launched even though I've specified syslog in the configuration. Logging is not interrupted when the process is killed. So, why is it running? What is it doing? Why does it need root? How do I control it? I think these are all good questions for an administrator to ask. That's my feedback for what it's worth, but mostly, thanks again for dovecot!

[Dovecot] Default and per-User sieve script
by Patrick Westenberg 23 Aug '11

23 Aug '11

Hi guys, is there any way to configure Dovecot to process the default sieve script and, after that, a user specific script? I have a default script to sort spam into a spam folder but if a user specific script is present, the default script is ignored. sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve sieve_global_path = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/sieve/default.sieve Regards Patrick

[Dovecot] dovecot deadlock with procmail
by kunal verma 23 Aug '11

23 Aug '11

I m using dovecot 1.0.7. I m having problems in mail delivery to my mail server locally. When a user sends a mail few mails are in mail Q for longer period of time. The local delivery agent(*procmail*) is trying to deliver the mail at regular interval but it is unable to deliver. But as soon as I *restart* *dovecot* the mails in the Q are delivered immediately. I suspect it is because of locking of *mbox* file of users by dovecot. How to overcome this problem as mails are some mails are taking hours to be delivered?? please let me know the solution.

[Dovecot] Large Mailbox Slow
by Matt 23 Aug '11

23 Aug '11

Doubt if there is any answer to this but will ask anyway. Have a few pop3 accounts with thousands of messages. Its slow when checking email naturally. Are there any tweaks to speed it up? I imagine there is an exchange of the message and header list which is the slow down. Too bad the list could not be compressed with gzip or something first. I think http has an option similar to that. Just asking.

[Dovecot] Dovecot Postfix and ssl_require_client_cert
by mezzo 23 Aug '11

23 Aug '11

Hi, I have a working mail system with postfix 2.7 and dovecot 1.2.15. I use secure connections for imap and smtp. When I try to use client certificate authorisation I have some problems. As soon as I enable the dovecot feature ssl_require_client_cert I have to present a valid certificate to receive or send email. Receiving emails works fine, but I can not send emails any more. The only way I could get this to work was to disable smtpd_sasl_auth_enable so postfix did not tries to get authorisation from dovecot. This way I can not have sasl authorisation for localnet and client certificate authorisation from extern. The reson seams to be that postfix does not sent the valid-client-cert along with the other parameter that are needed to satisfy the auth-process of dovecot. I found a few threads from 2008 where this problem is discussed but without a final solution. Is there a way to enable ssl_require_client_cert in dovecot and have smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes in postfix? Better would be a way to tell dovecot only to use ssl_require_client_cert during the imap autorisation. I did not get it to work. I miss something?

[Dovecot] Update indexes with dovecot 1.1
by Angel L. Mateo 23 Aug '11

23 Aug '11

Hello, I have a farm of dovecot 1.1 servers (debian lenny). Mailboxes are in Maildir format. Is there any way to manually update indexes? Does it worth? I mean... Our problem is that mail is delivered via dovecot lda, but, because we have a farm of servers, we don't guarantee that mail is delivered through the same server that the user is using for his imap connection, so the imap server could have this index unupdated. So I want to force an update (or at least nearly updated) in order to have the index updated in all servers at the time the user get to work. -- Angel L.

[Dovecot] Disconnected: Too many invalid IMAP commands
by Steve Fatula 23 Aug '11

23 Aug '11

Using current Apple mail 4.5 as client to Dovecot 2.0.13 I see lots of these messages in the log file for one machine and account. Near as I can tell, the client still works (it's mine), but, the messages concern me. Is there some known issue with Apple mail, or, if not, how to capture the information needed to debug? Sample log entires for my user matching on the message: Aug 20 16:28:36 host2 dovecot: imap(soho.steve): Disconnected: Too many invalid IMAP commands. bytes=3242/14672 Aug 20 16:28:43 host2 dovecot: imap(soho.steve): Disconnected: Too many invalid IMAP commands. bytes=14219/231327 Aug 20 16:29:50 host2 dovecot: imap(soho.steve): Disconnected: Too many invalid IMAP commands. bytes=640/1968 Aug 20 16:29:57 host2 dovecot: imap(soho.steve): Disconnected: Too many invalid IMAP commands. bytes=3521/2024 Aug 20 16:30:04 host2 dovecot: imap(soho.steve): Disconnected: Too many invalid IMAP commands. bytes=6690/3415 Aug 20 16:30:05 host2 dovecot: imap(soho.steve): Disconnected: Too many invalid IMAP commands. bytes=5098/15294 Aug 20 16:30:06 host2 dovecot: imap(soho.steve): Disconnected: Too many invalid IMAP commands. bytes=706/15684 Steve

[Dovecot] Duplicate Email with Dovecot Sieve
by Holden Hao 22 Aug '11

22 Aug '11

I am trying to use Dovecot Sieve after upgrading Dovecot from 1.0.15 to 1.2.17. I used the same config file from the old version but I added some entries to make sieve work. In my initial tests, sieve works and is able to do the actions that I set it to do. However, I get 2 copies of incoming emails. The inbox would always preserve a copy even if the sieve filter is set to transfer emails to another folder or redirect it to another address. The logs do not seem to report any issues. I don't know what causes the problem and I would appreciate some pointers. Here are some more details of my setup: OS: Linux 2.6.24.2 Dovecot: 1.2.17 Dovecot Sieve:0.1.19 Manage Sieve:0.11.13 MTA: Qmail 1.03 dovecot -n ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- # 1.2.17: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.24.2 i686 Debian lenny/sid log_path: /var/log/dovecot.log log_timestamp: protocols: imap pop3 imaps pop3s managesieve ssl_cert_file: /var/dir/etc/certificates/server.crt ssl_key_file: /var/dir/etc/certificates/server.key disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login login_executable(managesieve): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/managesieve-login login_greeting: Welcome login_process_size: 32 verbose_proctitle: yes first_valid_uid: 1000 mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir mail_debug: yes mail_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_executable(managesieve): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/managesieve mail_plugins(default): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(imap): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(pop3): quota mail_plugins(managesieve): mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(managesieve): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/managesieve imap_client_workarounds(default): outlook-idle imap_client_workarounds(imap): outlook-idle imap_client_workarounds(pop3): imap_client_workarounds(managesieve): pop3_uidl_format(default): %08Xu%08Xv pop3_uidl_format(imap): %08Xu%08Xv pop3_uidl_format(pop3): UID%u-%v pop3_uidl_format(managesieve): %08Xu%08Xv managesieve_logout_format(default): bytes=%i/%o managesieve_logout_format(imap): bytes=%i/%o managesieve_logout_format(pop3): bytes=%i/%o managesieve_logout_format(managesieve): bytes ( in=%i : out=%o ) namespace: type: private separator: . prefix: INBOX. location: maildir:~/Maildir inbox: yes list: yes subscriptions: yes lda: postmaster_address: postmaster(a)xxxxxxxxxx.org mail_plugin_dir: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lda mail_plugins: quota sieve sendmail_path: /var/qmail/bin/sendmail log_path: /var/log/dovecot-deliver-errors.log info_log_path: /var/log/dovecot-deliver.log auth default: verbose: yes passdb: driver: checkpassword args: /var/qmail/bin/auth_pop userdb: driver: prefetch plugin: quota: maildir sieve: ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir: ~/sieve -------------------------------------------------------------------- from: dovecot-deliver.log -------------------------------------------------------------------- deliver(user): Info: Loading modules from directory: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lda deliver(user): Info: Module loaded: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lda/lib10_quota_plugin.so deliver(user): Info: Module loaded: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lda/lib90_sieve_plugin.so deliver(user): Info: Quota root: name= backend=maildir args= deliver(user): Info: Namespace: type=private, prefix=INBOX., sep=., inbox=yes, hidden=no, list=1, subscriptions=yes deliver(user): Info: maildir: data=/home/user/Maildir deliver(user): Info: maildir++: root=/home/user/Maildir, index=, control=, inbox=/home/user/Maildir deliver(user): Info: sieve: using sieve path for user's script: /home/user/.dovecot.sieve deliver(user): Info: sieve: opening script /home/user/.dovecot.sieve deliver(user): Info: sieve: executing compiled script /home/user/.dovecot.sieve deliver(user): Info: sieve: msgid=< CAJNnNYmQpmEopFfT3+_qHvXYxf3v-4bzv9ojJqGfRtcddnTg8g(a)mail.gmail.com>: stored mail into mailbox 'Inbox.Test' Thanks in advance for your replies.

[Dovecot] Dovecot 1.2.16 and Thunderbird 5 - pop3 mails not getting deleted
by Ian Evans 22 Aug '11

22 Aug '11

I run a Dovecot 1.2.16 pop3 server and have just started using the Thunderbird 5 email client. Thunderbird is set to leave the messages on the server unless they are over 91 days old. However, I'm not seeing it delete any of the older messages. I'll run a debug run of Thunderbird when I get back home, but I'm just wondering if there's any gotcha's I should be aware of with Thunderbird and Dovecot in a pop3 environment. The Thunderbird folks are wondering if it's the server not the client. Thanks.

Upgrading to Dovecot2 would allow you to solve this in various ways: - use "doveadm force-resync" - user director to bind to a particular server You could put the indices on a shared filesystem. If neither an update nor shared indices are feasible, maybe you can enable the master user feature, and run a script that logs in as each user and do an IMAP operation that will force a resync of the INBOX indices. For example, # On IMAP server with a localhost interface for u in $users; do echo "1 login $u*master masterpw\n2 SELECT INBOX\n3 logout" | \ nc 127.0.0.1 143 done Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

[Dovecot] Sharing all mailboxes and userdb LDAP attrs
by Felipe Scarel 19 Aug '11

19 Aug '11

Hello all, I'm setting up a Dovecot environment here, version 1.2.15 on Debian 6.0.2 "squeeze". This is actually a complete revamp of the previous setup we have in-place here, built from the ground up with updated versions of all involved software. The operators have told me that they use some scripts hacked up by a previous sysadmin to give a single "admin" account full access to all user mail. That is, if any user runs into problems, they: 1. Call in; 2. The operator logs in as the admin user; 3. Operator performs maintenance duties on user email. I've been researching the possibility of using Dovecot shared namespaces to perform that very same task in a better fashion in this new server. So far, I've been able to globally share users' INBOXes and view them from a single admin account (through user= entries on global acl's). My ultimate goal, however, is to have access to all user mailboxes with any user that's a member of a particular group, adding all operators to that group as needed. - - - - - First question, then, is this one: how can I give global access to all user mailboxes? I've read that it's possible to give access to all subfolders of a particular folder throught the use of a .DEFAUL acl. That didn't seem to work with the uppermost directory, however. Here's what I tried: root@mail:/etc/dovecot# dovecot -a | grep acl: acl: vfile:/etc/dovecot/acl:cache_secs=300 root@mail:/etc/dovecot# cat acl/.DEFAULT owner lrwstipekxa user=admin lrwstipekxa Renaming .DEFAULT to INBOX does achieve the intended goal, but only for the INBOX folder evidently. - - - - - Second question is somewhat simpler. So far I've been using a single admin user, but I'd like to switch to using an admin group in the future. I've read that the best way to do that would be to use the user_attrs entry in my dovecot-ldap.conf file, while using a userdb ldap. The groups should be strings separated by commas in the appropriate attribute, from what I understand. Is there any readily-available or recommended schema I can use to fill up that attribute? I'm using the default ones (plus samba.schema) but I've seen mostly space to fit GID's, not group names. Thanks in advance, fbscarel PS: Here's my dovecot -a output, should it be needed. - - - - - root@mailaluno:~# dovecot -a # 1.2.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 x86_64 Debian

[Dovecot] May Dovecot help in users education
by Alexandre Chapellon 18 Aug '11

18 Aug '11

Hello, I was wondering if dovecot could help me in my project to smoothly make all my users switch to TLS encrypted POP / IMAP sessions and forget about cleartext. My first idea was to setup dovecot as a POP/IMAP proxy for my mailhosts and ask dovecot to display a warning message or slowdown non TLS sessions. Is there any way to achieve this with dovecot? Does anybody have another idea smoothly force used to switch to TLS? Regards. -- <http://www.horoa.net>

[Dovecot] Slackware Dovecot recompile with SSL/TLS question
by CopalFreak 16 Aug '11

16 Aug '11

I am having some problems and was told to ask in this list to try and get some help. When asking elsewhere, I was told that I was too verbose, so I'll try to be as brief as possible, while still including all the pertinent info. Slackware 13.1.0 Dovecot 2.0.8 Postfix 2.4.3 MySQL (virtual users) Spamassassin 3.3.1 ClamAV 0.97.1 (without Amavis) Have wild-card SSL certs and CA from GoDaddy ##"postconf -a" >> cyrus >> dovecot I compiled Dovecot without SASL support and need to re-compile it WITH SASL support, but I don't want to mess up my existing configuration. (I have it the way I want it as far as where it's installed, where the conf files are located, UID, GID settings, etc.) Dovecot 2.0.13 is out and I would prefer to use the newer version assuming it doesn't have any problems that would prevent me from using it. Is there a way to re-compile (or upgrade) so that it doesn't change any of my existing settings? I would like to be able to bring it down, do upgrade, maybe copy some config files over the defaults etc, and bring it all back up within a few minutes instead of a week of tweaking and fixing stuff. Is there a way to do something like this : stop dovecot backup all dovecot conf files ./configure CPPFLAGS=-I/path/to/openssl LDFLAGS=-L/path/to/openssl --config_dir /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf (or something like that..not sure what it actually is) make sudo make install edit conf files to point to SSL certs start dovecot IN CASE anything goes wrong, copy old config files back and restart dovecot to make it go back the way it was (only it's using the new 2.0.13 version) any suggestions and/or tips on how-to do this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

That number (2^64-1) suggests it has to do with the amd64 architecture. Did a compile option get overlooked? Let me know if there's anything I need to do to get rid of these warnings. Thanks, Mike

Hi, I have been trying to set up Apache2, Postfix, Dovecot, openLDAP and squirrelmail on my Ubuntu Server 10.04 machine. The idea is to make use of the LDAP to authenticate users to login to squirrelmail to send/receive emails. I have been using the link - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix/DovecotLDAP, as a guide to get it all set up. I have checked the status for postfix and dovecot, and they both are up and running by using telnet. I have even installed openldapadmin to check and see if I've got the ldap working. I could login to openldapadmin and saw myself there with uid=msmith. I have also installed squirrelmail as my webmail. After all that installed, I went to localhost/squirrelmail on the firefox browser. It would not log me in. Later I found in the /var/log/dovecot-deliver.log file, I saw the following messages dovecot: Info: Dovecot v1.2.9 starting up (core dumps disabled) imap-login: Info: Aborted login (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=<msmith>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured imap-login: Info: Aborted login (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=<msmith(a)mycompany.com.au>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured imap-login: Info: Aborted login (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=<mike.smith(a)mycompany.com.au>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured I tried to login with three different usernames but none worked as shown above in the log file.

[Dovecot] Last login script
by Munroe Sollog 15 Aug '11

I am trying to implement a last login script, however I seem to be having lots of issues. We started with sqlite but we were having locking issues, so we moved to postgresql which seems to have alleviated database specific issues, but now people are complaining about randomly not being able to log in. I don't see any real errors in the logs (dovecot or postgresql) to explain their complaints though, all I am really getting is "Connection closed" here is the log line of a failed attempt (with debug output): http://pastebin.com/5RFgVa8V and here is what we are running as the 'mail executable': http://pastebin.com/L0ibyqSQ Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

[Dovecot] Blocking auth services
by Peter Mogensen 15 Aug '11

15 Aug '11

Hi, I'm writing an passdb/userdb plugin to authenticate against an external daemon listening on a UNIX socket. The connection to the daemon is 1 request at a time and thus blocking (unlike passdb-ldap), but the daemon is preforking, so it can handle more connections at a time. I read from the Wiki: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Design/AuthProcess * "The authentication may begin new authentication requests even before the existing ones are finished. ", and * "If the passdb uses connections to external services, it's preferred that they use non-blocking connections. Dovecot does this whenever possible (PostgreSQL and LDAP for example). If it's not possible, set blocking = TRUE. " ... which tells me to set the module as blocking and let more auth worker processes do the work - creating 1 daemon process for each auth worker process, I guess. But I also have the option, to let the passdb/userdb plugin maintain a pools of used/idle connections to the daemon and just pick a idle connection and moving it to the used pool on each auth_request. Which would save me the auth worker processes. Is there a preferred dovecot way? /Peter

Hello, we run a Dovecot 2.0.13 instance purely as SASL backend for Postfix, authenticating against a local passwd-file and our central LDAP database. # dovecot -n # 2.0.13: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32.36-0.5-default x86_64 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 # (x86_64) auth_mechanisms = plain login auth_verbose = yes passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-passwd driver = passwd-file } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap-simauth.conf.ext driver = ldap } protocols = none service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix-postout/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } } ssl = no There is only a single user in the passwd-file for monitoring. We monitor authentication delays for both this local user and one user from LDAP. Due to a firmware bug, our six-figures NAS causes extremely high LDAP delays (in the range of 20-60 seconds, instead of the usual 50ms) once an hour. The weird thing is, I also see these delays in the graph for the local user. Which got me thinking * are authentication requests handled serially by dovecot/auth? * any way to solve this situation for the local user (not to be blocked by the delayed LDAP query)? * any way to solve this situation for LDAP users? We could possibly do some loadbalancing if the auth-daemon opened several LDAP connections Thanks, Bernhard

15 Aug '11

Hi, I am working on a webmail project using dovecot as imap server and I would need to make a demo however I don't want to show all my emails addresses.

[Dovecot] $IP not getting set?
by A.L. 15 Aug '11

15 Aug '11

Using dovecot 2.0.13. I went to implement relay-ctrl per directions on the Wiki, and failed. After running it down, as best as I can determine, the problem is that the $IP variable is not getting set (and thus not re-set in the script wrapper). I plunked a "set >> debug" into the script, and the only env var's that are set are as listed below (slightly sanitized for public display). Anyone have any ideas? I have tried both the Wiki-way, and this way: http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2009-December/045139.html with identical results.

[Dovecot] shared mailboxes

Hi all, I've read all documentation that I could find, but I can not understand 2 simple things 1. How to create a public mailbox - with per user seen flag. In my configuration this flag is shared 2. How to share one user mailbox with other users and set up acl. In Cyrus it was very easy( cyradm sam mailbox user1 lrs or sam mailbox user2 all ). What way there is to do this in dovecot. It was no problem with shared mailboxes in cyrus, but I need maildir support.

[Dovecot] Error when trying to delete folders

Hi, I'm using Dovecot 2.0.12 as an IMAP server. I'm using the lazy expunge plugin (2 namespaces - default and .EXPUNGED).

[Dovecot] SQL passdb lookups not working
by Benjamin Montgomery 14 Aug '11

14 Aug '11

Hello everyone, I'm trying to make dovecot do user authentication against a SQL database. The passwords (managed by Django) are stored as salted SHA1 encoded in hex. I monkey patched Django's password method so that the password hash is made with <password><salt> (Django does <salt><password>, the patched method was verified to return same value as dovecotpw) and the passwords are stored in the database separately as the salted hash and the salt. When I query the values out of the database, I'm using MySQL's concat function to return the password as {SSHA.hex}<sha1 hash><salt>. Dovecot is not able to verify any passwords right now. I've scoured the wiki and I think my setup is correct...config info is below. Any advice on where to look for debugging or setup of my passwords would be appreciated! Ben dovecot-sql.conf: default_pass_scheme = SSHA.hex password_query = \ SELECT emailmanager_emailaddresses.account AS username, \ emailmanager_domain.name AS domain, \ CONCAT('{SSHA.hex}', \ emailmanager_userprofile.shadigest, \ emailmanager_userprofile.salt \ ) AS password \ FROM emailmanager_emailaddresses \ JOIN emailmanager_domain ON emailmanager_emailaddresses.id = emailmanager_domain.id \ JOIN emailmanager_userprofile ON emailmanager_emailaddresses.id = emailmanager_userprofile.id \ WHERE emailmanager_emailaddresses.account = '%n' \ AND emailmanager_domain.name = '%d'

[Dovecot] Clients can't retrieve new emails
by Jeff Van Epps 12 Aug '11

12 Aug '11

In a formerly working environment suddenly clients aren't notified of new emails and can't retrieve new emails. Server is Ubuntu 11.04 dovecot 1.2.15. Clients which fail are a Pre2 webOS 2.1 and TouchPad webOS 3.0 (those are OS versions, I don't know which particular flavor/version the IMAP clients are); there is also a Thunderbird 3.1.11 client on the same system as the server which works properly. The clients never report an error. I got as far as configuring rawlog: in: ~A2 NAMESPACE ~A3 SELECT "INBOX" ~A4 LIST "" * ~A5 UID STORE 0 +FLAGS.SILENT (\Seen) ~A6 UID STORE 0 +FLAGS.SILENT (\Seen) out: * OK [RAWLOG TIMESTAMP] 2011-08-01 08:28:33 ~A1 OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE SORT SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT IDLE CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE QRESYNC ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH LIST-STATUS] Logged in * NAMESPACE (("" "/")) NIL NIL ~A2 OK Namespace completed. * FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft NonJunk Junk) * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft NonJunk Junk \*)] Flags permitted. * 101 EXISTS * 0 RECENT * OK [UNSEEN 63] First unseen. * OK [UIDVALIDITY 1222650706] UIDs valid * OK [UIDNEXT 863] Predicted next UID * OK [HIGHESTMODSEQ 1903] Highest ~A3 OK [READ-WRITE] Select completed. * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "/" "Trash" * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "/" "Sent" * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "/" "INBOX" ~A4 OK List completed. ~A5 BAD Error in IMAP command UID STORE: Invalid uidset ~A6 BAD Error in IMAP command UID STORE: Invalid uidset I've searched and read messages saying that there is no such thing as UID 0. Okay. Why are the clients suddenly trying to use it? Why doesn't the server just ignore it? (it seems like it may be terminating the connection) What can I do about it? (I'll nag HP about the client side but I don't expect quick action. The server on the other hand is in my house.) dovecot -n output: # 1.2.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.38-11-generic i686 Ubuntu 11.04 log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S ssl_cert_file: /etc/ssl/certs/lordbah.com.crt ssl_key_file: /etc/ssl/private/lordbah.com.key ssl_key_password: --redacted-- disable_plaintext_auth: no verbose_ssl: yes login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_process_per_connection: no login_processes_count: 5 login_max_processes_count: 20 verbose_proctitle: yes mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: mbox:~*/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/*%u mail_debug: yes mbox_write_locks: fcntl dotlock mail_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/rawlog /usr/lib/dovecot/imap imap_client_workarounds: tb-extra-mailbox-sep auth default: verbose: yes debug: yes passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd -- Jeff Van Epps

Hi guys, I setup a new box with Debian Squeeze 64bit and installed dovecot from the sources. However, I can't start dovecot or even use doveconf: root@imap01:~# doveconf -n # 2.0.13: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /usr/local/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf line 111: Unknown setting: mail_uid Why is mail_uid and mail_gid an unknown setting? On my other box the configuration is identical (but Dovecot is upgraded from early 2.0.x versions to the current one) If I comment the mail_uid and mail_gid lines, I get another error: root@imap01:~# doveconf -n doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /usr/local/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf line 17: Unknown setting: service doveconf: Error: managesieve-login: dump-capability process returned 89 doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /usr/local/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf line 17: Unknown setting: service Everything I could find on Google are problems after upgrading from 1.x to 2.x What went wrong?

Is there a way to match the destination mailbox in a sieve script? The email comes in by dovecot-lda -d $user -m Sent Now the sieve script should somehow match the mailbox "Sent".

[Dovecot] mbox problems on CentOS 6

Hello, I migrated yesterday to Dovecot 2, and I managed to "convert" all the settings I had in dovecot.conf, but I run into a strange problem. I am curently using Dovecot 2.0.13 and bellow is my dovecot.conf current content: # 2.0.13: //etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-71.29.1.el6.x86_64 x86_64 CentOS Linux release 6.0 (Final) ext4 auth_mechanisms = plain login auth_verbose = yes base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/ disable_plaintext_auth = no first_valid_uid = 901 last_valid_uid = 901 log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log log_timestamp = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S " login_greeting = IMAP/POP3 server ready. mail_access_groups = mail mail_debug = yes mail_location = mbox:/vmail/%d/%n:INDEX=/var/indexes/%u mail_max_userip_connections = 16 mail_privileged_group = mail passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql.conf driver = sql } protocols = imap pop3 service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { mode = 0600 } user = $default_internal_user } service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 143 } } service imap { process_limit = 16 } service pop3-login { inet_listener pop3 { port = 110 } } service pop3 { process_limit = 16 } ssl = no userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql.conf driver = sql } protocol pop3 { pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv } protocol imap { imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail tb-extra-mailbox-sep } I am running along with Dovecot, Postfix and MySQL - oh SASL is of course installed as I want to make use of user auth.

I double checked paths - all is ok - postfix is actually receiving and saving in that /vmail... folder # uid=901 coresponds to <vmail> user # gid=12 corresponds to <mail> group # rights on /vmail are vmail.mail I think there is actually a problem with mail_location - but I couldnt solve it at all. If anyone can help me with this - please do guys. I googled those terms and found nothing, so this is my last resort, I tried solving this in the last 36hrs but nothing so far. Thanks to anyone who can assist me.

[Dovecot] Dovecot quota dict
by Juan Bernhard 10 Aug '11

10 Aug '11

Hi, Im using dovecot with maildir++ quota and I have this problem, maybe some of you already solve this and can helpme. I want to use some flat file to tell exim and dovecot the quota limit for each user, i tried to work with exim and maildirsize file, but exim just ignores the limits there. I need a way (a really simple one, i dont want to create a database or an ldap server just for this) to tell exim and dovecot to lookup some file to get the quota limits. I know how to doit with exim, now i need to know how to tell dovecot to read the quota limits from this file. I know that dovecot can read the quota limit from the userdb, but im using pam and i dont want to change the entire auth schema. Can I configure dovecot to get the quota limit from a file using pam as userdb?

Cause 8 The BlackBerry Internet Service downloads any email message with an email message UID that it did not find during the previous connection. If the email message UIDs are changed by the messaging server, duplicate email messages are received. This behavior also applies to any email message that has a blank UID. Resolution 8 To resolve this issue, complete one of the following procedures. Make sure that the message UIDs of email messages on the integrated account messaging server do not change or that email messages are not added back to the inbox of the associated account. Ask your administrator if the message UIDs are changing. In the case of an email message that has a blank UID, have your administrator remove the email message from the email server to prevent it from being delivered repeatedly. Delete email messages from the BlackBerry smartphone using the Mailbox & Handheld setting (email messages will be deleted from the associated email account messaging server and will not be retrieved again by the BlackBerry Internet Service).

[Dovecot] authentication via LDAP
by Gerardo Herzig 09 Aug '11

09 Aug '11

Hi all. I have a couple of questions. ANY of those will solve mi situation. 1) 'Complex' LDAP validation: I need to validate a user in the 2 step authentication / authorizacion mech. The 'users' (with the password) are in ou=Person,o=Work the group which contains the mail users is in cn=MailUsers,ou=Groups,o=Work Can dovecot make such a thing? Cause im not shure if i can make this in a single ldap filter. 2) If not... 2.1) Does dovecot accept more than 1 rule for authenticating? 2.2) Does dovecot accept an arbitrary program for authentication? Well, that's all for now. Thanks! Gerardo

[Dovecot] mail delivery location wrong
by Firma Averlon 09 Aug '11

09 Aug '11

Hi, thanks for offering the oportunity to place a question here. I am now already working since a week to get postfix and dovecot working on a ubuntu 11.04 server. Hard task. First step was naturally to get familiar with the idea behind the archtitecture. I have come very far, but the "last dirty mile" is probably the hardest. My architecture: Postfix Dovecot OpenLDAP Thunderbird as client with pop3 I can meanwhile send e-mails and open my mailbox in thunderbird (not receiving mails so far). The reason why not receiving e-Mails is simply: When sending the mails they are stored in a different directory as where dovecot will look for them !!!! Error message from log: Aug 8 14:09:01 server dovecot: deliver(vmail): maildir: data=/home/vmail//vmail/Maildir Aug 8 14:09:01 server dovecot: deliver(vmail): maildir: data=/home/vmail//vmail/Maildir Aug 8 14:09:01 server dovecot: deliver(vmail): maildir++: root=/home/vmail//vmail/Maildir, index=, control=, inbox=/home/vmail//vmail/Maildir Aug 8 14:09:01 server dovecot: deliver(vmail): maildir++: root=/home/vmail//vmail/Maildir, index=, control=, inbox=/home/vmail//vmail/Maildir What you immediatly see: "vmail//vmail" Although, when authenticating, the result is: Aug 8 14:06:30 server dovecot: auth(default): master out: USER#0113#011userxxx@av.loc#011gid=5000#011home=/home/userxxx#011uid=5000#011mail=/home/vmail/av.loc/userxxx/Maildir/ The following settings are in place: main.cf of postfix: virtual_mailbox_domains = /etc/postfix/vhosts virtual_mailbox_base = /home/vmail virtual_mailbox_maps = ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap-virtual.cf virtual_minimum_uid = 1000 virtual_uid_maps = static:5000 virtual_gid_maps = static:5000 virtual_transport = dovecot mailbox_command = /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver beside others. master.cf of postfix dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -f ${sender} -a ${recipient} dovecot.conf sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail mail_location = maildir:/home/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir beside others. I guess, these are the ones influencing where to store the mail and pick it up. A list of the related filesystem: /home/vmail/ drwx-w--w- 4 vmail vmail 4096 2011-08-08 08:56 av.loc/ drwx------ 3 vmail vmail 4096 2011-08-08 09:42 vmail/ Wher you can see, the structure according "mail_location" parameter of dovecot.conf does show effect, but the mails are stored in /home/vmail//vmail.....". The whole bunch of documentation I have read meanwhile makes my head circle around. You could hopefully give me some help. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind Regards Hr. Karl-Heinz Fischbach

[Dovecot] How to make dovecot-lda/deliver mark a message as seen
by Stefan Piegsa 08 Aug '11

08 Aug '11

Hello everybody, I am using dovecot 2.0.13 and have a special case here in which I want a mail that is delivered locally with dovecot-lda to be marked as "seen". In dovecot 1.1.7 I succeeded to achive this, by modifing deliver.c so that upon adding a -S switch to the command arguments, the flag MAIL_SEEN was added to the call of mailbox_copy(). This seemed to work pretty good. With the new version, i tried to do something similar by selectively adding mail_update_flags(ctx.src_mail, MODIFY_ADD, MAIL_SEEN); just before the call of mail_deliver(), whenever the -S argument is given. But this does not work. What is wrong? Is there a better way to set MAIL_SEEN for a locally delivered mail? I would prefer a method that does not require to mess around in the dovecot sources. :-) Thanks in advance & Best Regards, Stefan

[Dovecot] Dovecot + LDAP login issues
by ml lists 08 Aug '11

08 Aug '11

Morning all, I've managed to work my self into a corner and hoping someone can help me out I have OpenLDAP and Dovecot installed based on the following documents: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DovecotLDAP https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenLDAPServer When Dovecot is set up to log in without using LDAP, connections work fine. However as soon as I change the dovecot.conf to use ldap I get the following error when trying to log in: error in syslog: dovecot: auth(default): ldap(myuser,10.10.10.10): invalid credentials (given password: myuserpasswd) dovecot: auth(default): client out: FAIL#0112#011user=myuser I have checked via phpLDAPadmin that the password I am entering matches what is in the database, so from what I can see the issue lies in how Dovecot is passing the password to openLDAP, though I may be way off base here. No special characters in the passphrase other than spaces. Would anyone be able to shed some light on this?

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.x configuration
by Vincent Richomme 07 Aug '11

07 Aug '11

Hi, sorry to post about that but I have some issues to migrate my dovecot 1.x to 2.x. I have installed dovecot 2.x package on ubuntu natty(package were generated from sources found in debian testing), and I have modified config files like that : dovecot.conf: ------------- !include_try /usr/share/dovecot/protocols.d/*.protocol listen = *, :: !include conf.d/*.conf !include_try local.conf conf.d/10-auth.conf: --------------------- !include auth-sql.conf.ext so I have uncommented the auth-sql.conf.ext because I want a sql auth but these file is not available so I copied the file ../dovecot-sql.conf.ext and rename it into auth-sql.conf.ext. conf.d/auth-sql.conf.ext: --------------------- driver = mysql connect = host=127.0.0.1 dbname=foobarserver user=foo password=bar default_pass_scheme = PLAIN-MD5 password_query = SELECT email as user, password FROM view_users WHERE email='%u'; When I try to load the config I get the following error : root@sd-30635:/etc/dovecot/conf.d# dovecot -n # 2.0.13 (ba03935cc599): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/conf.d/auth-sql.conf.ext line 29: Unknown setting: driver doveconf: Error: managesieve-login: dump-capability process returned 89 doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/conf.d/auth-sql.conf.ext line 29: Unknown setting: driver I searched on the mailing list and I found an answer but I am still not sure how to solve it. UPDATE : after trying to use my brain I found the solution to my issue but I am still posting to help people that may have the same problem and to make you notice that the current configuration files are not logical. I mean in conf.d/10-auth.conf you can uncomment auth-sql.conf.ext but the file is not available (maybe it's a packaging problem). So I did the following steps : cp conf.d/auth-system.conf.ext conf.d/auth-sql.conf.ext Then I have edited conf.d/auth-sql.conf.ext: passdb { driver = mysql args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext } OK so far so good, next problem is about the old configuration lines : # It's possible to export the authentication interface to other programs: socket listen { master { # Master socket provides access to userdb information. It's typically # used to give Dovecot's local delivery agent access to userdb so it # can find mailbox locations. path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode = 0600 # Default user/group is the one who started dovecot-auth (root) user = vmail #group = } client { # The client socket is generally safe to export to everyone. Typical use # is to export it to your SMTP server so it can do SMTP AUTH lookups # using it. path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-client mode = 0660 } } Where should I put them in the new config file hierarchy ? And do I still need them ? Just for information I have based my mail setup on the following guide : http://workaround.org/ispmail/etch Thanks

[Dovecot] DoveCot LDA prefetch fails with LDA, works with POP client
by Zhou, Yan 05 Aug '11

05 Aug '11

Hi there, I am using DoveCot 1.0.7. I know it is real old, but we have to work with it. I have configured LDAP lookup with password prefetch in DoveCot. I can successfully receive emails through DoveCot, thus proving my password prefetch and user authentication are good. The problem is when I use Postfix to deliver message to DoveCot via LDA. My postfix master.cf looks like this: dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=Rhu user=hubdirect null_sender= argv=/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -e -f ${sender} -d ${user} Given a message, Postfix looks up LDAP and find the user associated with the recipient address and delivers the message using LDA. LDAP logs indicates that Postfix is returning the right user. The problem is that DoveCot complains "passdb did not return userdb entries", but I do not know which entries passdb failed to return. Here is what I have in dovecot-ldap.conf. I have tried different things in "user_attrs", DoveCot keeps complaining the same thing. user_attrs = username=user user_filter = (&(objectClass=DirectUser)(username=%u)(roles=*ROLE_EDGE_EMAIL*)) pass_attrs = username=user,password=password,username=userdb_user,usermaildirectory=u serdb_mail,userhomedirectory=userdb_home,825=userdb_uid,825=userdb_gid pass_filter = (&(objectClass=DirectUser)(username=%u)(roles=*ROLE_EDGE_EMAIL*)) The documentation says LDA does not use prefetch, but the log seems to indicate otherwise. I clearly see the "service=deliver" is authenticating the user first, thus using password prefetch. Can someone clarify this?

I'm working the kinks of a new director based setup for the eventual migration away from courier. At this point, with everything basically working I'm trying to ensure that things are properly monitored and I've run into an issue. There doesn't appear to be a way to get dovecot to tell if it is (or is not) connected and properly synced with the other director servers in the ring apart from the logs. It seems like this is an important piece of information -- without it, it isn't apparent how you would be able to tell if your director servers have lost track of each other. I'm also curious what people are doing to health check their director servers when they are running load balancing upstream of them as well. It doesn't seem like it is a good idea to let the load balancers check all the way through to the real servers since a failure on the target real server could end up leading to a director being dropped from the pool (if so, it is most likely that the other directors would be dropped as well.) Otherwise, the health check failure tolerance at the load balancer must be greater than the tolerance for failure of the real servers on the director- a dead director could end up in the pool for longer than desired, or anyway, long enough to be sure that it isn't a transient failure on the real server behind it. A better method would seem to be for the load balancers to query the director for the number of active back-end servers and, so long as it was over a given threshold, to assume that the director is otherwise able to do its job and rely on external monitoring to pickup internal failures where dovecot isn't able to successfully proxy the connection to one of the real servers. So, how are people doing this in the real world? -- Kelsey Cummings - kgc(a)corp.sonic.net sonic.net, inc. System Architect 2260 Apollo Way 707.522.1000 Santa Rosa, CA 95407

[Dovecot] Question about memory management in plugins
by Peter Mogensen 04 Aug '11

04 Aug '11

Hi, I've writing an passdb/userdb plugin (see my previous question about a plugin authenticating via a UNIX socket protocol). Now... the protocol spoken over this socket is JSON-based and I'm using a SAX-like event based parser which maintains a parse context between callbacks. Now... I'm a little bit in doubt about which dovecot memory management method would be best for data in this parser context. Alloc-only pools seems wrong cause the parser object is used as long as the connection is open and there might run many auth requests over the connection before it's freed making the pool grow for long time. Data stack allocation won't work either, since with all this async network and callbacks, there's really no where to place the stack frame. So I end up using i_* and i_free for all data during the lifetime of the connection. Is there a better way? If I could only free my pool-allocated data, but I can't since it's almost never the last allocated data I want to free. /Peter

[Dovecot] [BUG?] LDAP authentication with aliases issues
by Paweł Lęcznar 04 Aug '11

04 Aug '11

Hello, I am trying to configure Dovecot with LDAP authentication. My LDAP tree structure is as following: dc=root,dc=pl \_ ou=Users \_ uid=test \_ ou=Mail \_ ou=domain.pl \_ uid=alias_to_test I cannot authenticate using 'uid=alias_to_test,ou=domain.pl,ou=Mail,dc=root,dc=pl'. If I try to authenticate using 'uid=alias_to_test,ou=domain.pl,ou=Mail,dc=root,dc=pl', following entry appears in the Dovecot's log file: #v+ auth: Debug: client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=imap secured lip=127.0.0.1 rip=127.0.0.1 lport=993 rport=59818 resp=YWxpYXMxQGFsaWFzeS5wbABhbGlhczFAYWxpYXN5LnBsAGFzZHF3ZWFzZA== auth: Debug: ldap(alias_to_test(a)domain.pl,127.0.0.1): pass search: base=uid=alias_to_test,ou=domain.pl,ou=Mail,dc=root,dc=pl scope=base filter=(&(objectClass=posixAccount)) fields=uid,userPassword auth: Debug: auth(alias_to_test(a)domain.pl,127.0.0.1): username changed alias_to_test(a)domain.pl -> test auth: Debug: ldap(test,127.0.0.1): result: uid(user)=test userPassword(password)={CRYPT}ACnZvF4.K46UI auth: Debug: client out: OK 1 user=test auth: Debug: ldap(test,127.0.0.1): user search: base=uid=test,ou=,ou=Mail,dc=root,dc=pl scope=base filter=(&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=test)) fields=homeDirectory,uidNumber,gidNumber auth: Debug: master out: FAIL 2551840769 #v- In the LDAP server log file, following entries appear during authentication attempt #v+ ldap slapd[11729]: conn=1125 op=0 BIND dn="cn=Manager,dc=root,dc=pl" method=128 ldap slapd[11729]: conn=1125 op=0 BIND dn="cn=Manager,dc=root,dc=pl" mech=SIMPLE ssf=0 ldap slapd[11729]: conn=1125 op=0 RESULT tag=97 err=0 text= ldap slapd[11729]: conn=1125 op=1 SRCH base="uid=alias_to_test,ou=domain.pl,ou=Mail,dc=root,dc=pl" scope=0 deref=3 filter="(&(objectClass=posixAccount))" ldap slapd[11729]: conn=1125 op=1 SRCH attr=uid userPassword ldap slapd[11729]: conn=1125 op=1 SEARCH RESULT tag=101 err=0 nentries=1 text= ldap slapd[11729]: conn=1125 op=2 do_search: invalid dn: "uid=test,ou=,ou=Mail,dc=root,dc=pl" ldap slapd[11729]: conn=1125 op=2 SEARCH RESULT tag=101 err=34 nentries=0 text=invalid DN #v- It seems that LDAP AuthDatabase doesn't change the context when looking up for the target object, to which the alias points. Futhermore, the filter for the target object '(&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=test))' was not defined by me anywhere in the configuration file 'dovecot-ldap.ext'. I have tried both authentication ways: 'password lookups' and 'authentication binding' with the same result. However, There is no problem to authenticate as 'uid=test,ou=Users,dc=root,dc=pl' (of cource after modifying the configuration file listed at the end). I suppose that it can be a bug in LDAP AuthDatabase, so I am writing this post as a potential bug report.

[Dovecot] questions about ldap auth
by Gerardo Herzig 04 Aug '11

04 Aug '11

Hi all. I have a couple of questions. ANY of those will solve mi situation. 1) 'Complex' LDAP validation: I need to validate a user in the 2 step authentication / authorizacion mech. The 'users' (with the password) are in ou=Person,o=Work the group which contains the mail users is in cn=MailUsers,ou=Groups,o=Work Can dovecot make such a thing? Cause im not shure if i can make this in a single ldap filter. 2) If not... 2.1) Does dovecot accept more than 1 ldap filter for authenticating? 2.2) Does dovecot accept an arbitrary program for authentication? Well, that's all for now. Thanks! Gerardo

[Dovecot] Local delivery via deliver fails for 1 user in alias
by Greg Woods 04 Aug '11

04 Aug '11

Hi all, I'm a bit baffled. I have an OS X server 10.6.8 and everything was working fine. Now however I seem to be having some issues and I'm unable to find log entries to help point me to the error. I have an alias, sales at cirrusav.com, which forwards mail to myself and two others. This works fine most of the time, but on occasion messages are not delivered to one user. It is possible that one of the other users fails delivery occasionally as well, though this has not been rigorously tested. I always seem to get the messages. I have logging set to debug via the OS X server admin. Looking through /var/log/mailaccess.log I see all the same entries for each user even when messages fail to deliver. The only difference I notice is the order. I see some messages about corrupt index cache files. I can find the missing message in failing user's dovecot.index.cache. However I can not find the message in the cur sub directory or anywhere else (grep -i regency ...). I can find the file in my dovecot.index.cache and cur directory. Details below. I'm continuing to research the internet, but don't know what I'm looking for. I'm also concerned that we might be dropping more mail. Thoughts anyone? Thank you in advance for your help.

[Dovecot] Pigeon Sieve, redirect action and SPF
by Pedro Ribeiro 03 Aug '11

03 Aug '11

Since I've upgraded to dovecot 2.0.13 + Pigeonhole 0.2.3 (Gentoo package) I've received a few complains of users about rejected messages. Investigating the problem, I've seen that when the external sender server publishes SPF information, when some message is sent from there to one of my users that has a Sieve redirect action active to another external system (that does SPF validation), the message is rejected because our system only changes the envelope "rcpt to" in the redirection and the "mail from" remains the original. When the end server does the SPF validation it fails because my server isn't in the IP allow list for the domain of the original sender. I never seen this problem in the old Dovecot+CMUSieve. Shouldn't the sender be changed in the envelope "mail from" from the original one to the recipient that made the Sieve redirection? Keep the excellent work with dovecot and related projects! TIA! -- Best regards, =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Pedro Ribeiro IPLNet - Rede de dados e comunicações Instituto Politécnico de Lisboa (IPL) Mail: mailto:pribeiro AT net.ipl.pt VoIP: sip:pribeiro AT net.ipl.pt =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

[Dovecot] sievec - manual compile of global sieve scripts?
by Thomas Harold 02 Aug '11

How do you compile global scripts using the sievec command without making the script directory owned (and group writable) by the vmail user? http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Pigeonhole/Sieve/Usage # cd /etc/dovecot/sieve/before/ # (edit some script like spam.sieve that runs for everyone) # /usr/local/bin/sievec spam.sieve spam.svbin sievec(root): Error: sieve: binary save: failed to create temporary file: open(spam.svbin.hostname.26921.) in directory /etc/dovecot/sieve/before failed: Permission denied (euid=5000(vmail) egid=5000(vmail) missing +w perm: /etc/dovecot/sieve/before, euid is not dir owner) # ls -la /etc/dovecot/sieve/before/ drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 1 15:56 . drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Aug 1 13:23 .. -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 477 Aug 1 15:33 spam.sieve Or do I just make the /etc/dovecot/sieve/ tree owned and writable by the vmail:vmail user?

[Dovecot] web interface for user creation/vacation
by Chris Cappuccio 02 Aug '11

What are the best web interfaces for user/domain management, perhaps one that also allows individual users to edit vacation msgs? Right now I'm using a postfixadmin based mysql control panel. Curious what is the better stuff out there that people are using with dovecot/sieve these days? Are there any decent front-ends to setup/manage per-user sieve filters?

[Dovecot] Redelivery of messages in Maildir through sieve to be re-sorted
by Thomas Harold 01 Aug '11

01 Aug '11

http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/RefilterMail That solution looks great for a single user, but is it possible to do a larger version that runs for everyone on the server? I'm speaking specifically of a virtual setup where all mailboxes are owned by a common UID/GID. It seems like (with brief testing) that I could search for mail inside of a "Refilter" folder, like /var/vmail/domain.ext/username/Maildir/.Refilter/{cur|new}, and shove that through dovecot-lda. I would just need to put the username/domain.ext back together in the format of username(a)domain.ext. /usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -e -d username(a)domain.ext -p (path to message) If dovecot-lda doesn't throw an error, then I could delete the message from the "Refilter" folder and move onto the next message. Or does Dovecot get horribly confused when messages vanish out of the "cur" folder?

Using the pre-built RPM from ATRPMs. Where does the dovecot-config file get generated? Is there a flag in a config file that controls whether it gets created? Installed Packages Name : dovecot Arch : x86_64 Epoch : 1 Version : 2.0.13 Release : 1_129.el5 Size : 5.1 M Repo : installed Summary : Dovecot Secure imap server URL : http://www.dovecot.org/ License : MIT Do I have to install Dovecot from source in order to also use the Pigeonhole plug-in?

[Dovecot] Dovecot and pigeonhole: mail not filtered
by Sebastian Schlingmann 01 Aug '11

01 Aug '11

Hi everyone, I am running dovecot for quite some time now (currently version 2.0.13). Recently I tried to get Sieve and Managesieve to run. For this purpose I installed pigeonhole 0.2.3 and added sieve to the mail_plugins for lmtp and to the protocols. I also copied the sample 90-sieve.conf and 20-managesieve.conf into my /etc/dovecot/conf.d/ directory. In 90-sieve.conf I uncommented the sieve and sieve_dir options and set them to my desired values. After a restart of dovecot I was able to use my webmailer to add sieve scripts via the managesieve protocol. However the sieve scripts do not trigger. Is there any way to test if sieve is even executed when a mail arrives? mail_debug did not give me any relevant information. BTW: I checked my sieve script with the sieve-test command and it would execute the right action (move a mail into a directory). Bye Sebastian

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.0.x + Sendmail 8.14.4 SMTP AUTH not working
by Serhiy Kolesnyk 31 Jul '11

31 Jul '11

Hello! After moving from Centos 5.6 to Centos 6, I figured that Sendmail minor version was updated from 8.13.x to 8.14 and Dovecto from 1.2 to 2.0.x In previous configuration SMTP auth worked fine (no SASAUTHD neccessary) for virtual users table. Dovecot was authenticating virtual users virtual checking dovecot.passwd file. I'm not sure how Sendmail was processing SMTP AUTH for virtual users connecting via email clients since there was no obvious connection to Dovecot authentication. But SMTP AUTH was working and virtual users could send email via SSL. Now after this recent upgrade I looked into Dovecot conf changes and updated it according. POP/IMAP are working and Sendmail does deliver incoming mail to the mbox folders. What stopped working is SMTP AUTH. Here's maillog excerpt of authentication process: Jul 29 23:46:11 one2action sendmail[2865]: AUTH: available mech=CRAM-MD5 DIGEST-MD5 LOGIN GSSAPI PLAIN, allowed mech=LOGIN PLAIN Jul 29 23:46:11 one2action sendmail[2865]: STARTTLS=server, get_verify: 0 get_peer: 0x0 Jul 29 23:46:11 one2action sendmail[2865]: STARTTLS=server, relay=136-31-132-95.pool.ukrtel.net [95.132.31.136], version=TLSv1/SSLv3, verify=NO, cipher=RC4-MD5, bits=128/128 Jul 29 23:46:11 one2action sendmail[2865]: STARTTLS=server, cert-subject=, cert-issuer=, verifymsg=ok Jul 29 23:46:11 one2action sendmail[2865]: AUTH: available mech=CRAM-MD5 DIGEST-MD5 LOGIN GSSAPI PLAIN, allowed mech=LOGIN PLAIN Jul 29 23:46:11 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: --- 220 one2action.com ESMTP Sendmail 8.14.4/8.14.4; Fri, 29 Jul 2011 23:46:11 +0100 Jul 29 23:46:11 one2action sendmail[2865]: STARTTLS=read, info: fds=8/4, err=2 Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: <-- EHLO astronaut Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: --- 250-one2action.com Hello 136-31-132-95.pool.ukrtel.net [95.132.31.136], pleased to meet you Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: --- 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: --- 250-PIPELINING Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: --- 250-8BITMIME Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: --- 250-SIZE Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: --- 250-DSN Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: --- 250-ETRN Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: --- 250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: --- 250-DELIVERBY Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: --- 250 HELP Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: STARTTLS=read, info: fds=8/4, err=2 Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: <-- AUTH LOGIN Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: --- 334 VXNlcm5hbWU6 Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: STARTTLS=read, info: fds=8/4, err=2 Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: --- 334 UGFzc3dvcmQ6 Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: STARTTLS=read, info: fds=8/4, err=2 Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: --- 535 5.7.0 authentication failed Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: AUTH failure (LOGIN): generic failure (-1) SASL(-1): generic failure: checkpass failed, relay=136-31-132-95.pool.ukrtel.net [95.132.31.136] Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: STARTTLS=read, info: fds=8/4, err=2 Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: --- 421 4.4.1 one2action.com Lost input channel from 136-31-132-95.pool.ukrtel.net [95.132.31.136] Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: lost input channel from 136-31-132-95.pool.ukrtel.net [95.132.31.136] to TLSMTA after auth Jul 29 23:46:12 one2action sendmail[2865]: p6TMkB95002865: 136-31-132-95.pool.ukrtel.net [95.132.31.136] did not issue MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN during connection to TLSMTA Here's dovecot -n # dovecot -n # 2.0.beta6 (3156315704ef): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.39.1-linode34 i686 CentOS Linux release 6.0 (Final) auth_cache_negative_ttl = 3600 s auth_debug_passwords = yes auth_mechanisms = plain login DIGEST-MD5 cram-md5 auth_worker_max_count = 3 default_client_limit = 10 default_process_limit = 5 disable_plaintext_auth = no listen = * log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u mail_privileged_group = mail mbox_write_locks = fcntl passdb { args = scheme=MD5-CRYPT username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/dovecot.passwd driver = passwd-file } passdb { args = dovecot driver = pam } passdb { args = /etc/passwd driver = passwd-file } protocols = imap pop3 service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-userdb { group = smmsp mode = 0666 user = smmsp } unix_listener dovecot-auth { group = smmsp mode = 0666 user = smmsp } } service imap-login { inet_listener imaps { port = 993 ssl = yes } } service pop3-login { inet_listener pop3s { port = 995 ssl = yes } } ssl_cert = </etc/pki/tls/certs/sendmail.pem ssl_cipher_list = TLSv1+HIGH:!SSLv2:RC4+MEDIUM:!aNULL:!eNULL:!3DES:@STRENGTH ssl_key = </etc/pki/tls/certs/sendmail.pem userdb { args = username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/dovecot.passwd driver = passwd-file } protocol lda { auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master postmaster_address = postmaster(a)example.com } protocol imap { imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail } protocol pop3 { pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv } As I understand Sendmail now can't find Dovecot authentication via userdb and that's why a client isn't authenticated.

[Dovecot] lda_mailbox_autosubscribe - v2 wiki is a bit unclear
by Thomas Harold 29 Jul '11

29 Jul '11

In the old wiki: http://wiki1.dovecot.org/LDA -m <mailbox>: Destination mailbox (default is INBOX). If the mailbox doesn't exist, it's created (unless -n is used). If message couldn't be saved to the mailbox for any reason, it's delivered to INBOX instead. -s: Subscribe to mailboxes that are automatically created (via -m parameter or fileinto Sieve action). (v1.1.3+) Those have been replaced in Dovecot v2 with: # Should saving a mail to a nonexistent mailbox automatically create it? lda_mailbox_autocreate = no # Should automatically created mailboxes be also automatically subscribed? lda_mailbox_autosubscribe = no But neither of those options are mentioned on the LDA wiki page: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/LDA It's only mentioned in passing on the 2.0 page that explains the changes between 1.2 and 2.0.

[Dovecot] vpopmail + dovecot-lda doubling deliver messages
by Juliano Nascimento 29 Jul '11

29 Jul '11

We use qmail + vpopmail + dovecot, limits and alias are in vpopmail mysql database, it has worked ok. The .qmail-default: | /data/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox | /var/qmail/bin/preline -f /usr/local/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d $EXT@$USER When you send a message to alias works OK. The problem that is happening that is sent to asdf(a)domain.com asdf(a)domain.com he is doubling the email. Come the email that you sent / wrote an email and more with nearly no head, no matter. Searching is very realized that something related to Deliver the dovecot. Can you help us? Tips? Thank you all.

[Dovecot] want only usder in userfile/passfile and use to login user@domain
by Erik - versatel 28 Jul '11

After adding: auth_username_format=%Lu the %d domain is unfolleded correctly. (and not empty anymore) Maybe a good idee to make a remark in the text Virtual Users about that. I use: passdb: driver: passwd-file args: /etc/dovecot/vhosts/%d/etc/shadow userdb: driver: static args: uid=virtual gid=virtual home=/var/mail/vhosts/%d/%u In the password-file (shadow) i have to add users in the form user@domain. I want to add users in the form user I have also tryed not a static userdb but a real one; see example Dynamic-passwd locations. To get this working i had to add mail-uid and mail-gid. But still it has the same form user@domain and not user Can anybody tell my how to get ride of the domain part in the passwd en userfile. I still want the user to login with user@domain Thanks.

[Dovecot] dovecot quota feature request

Hi all, I'm going to implement before queue quota check with postfix to prevent bounce mail, the quota information is stored into mysql using dovecot quotadict, it would be nice that dovecot can have an option to switch the quota check with (used space < quota) instead of (used space+mail size < quota), so that i can write a simple sql statement to check_recipient_access to reject those mail, thanks.

[Dovecot] Store quota on passwd-file?? Not work
by Sébastien FOURCADE 28 Jul '11

28 Jul '11

Hello all, I have installed Dovecot 1.2.15 and Postfix 2.7.1 on my Debian 6.This install no include MySQL, I prefer to store Password/User in a file... File /etc/dovecot/passwd contains :user2@domain.com:{CRAM-MD5}::::userdb_mail=maildir:~/Maildir userdb_quota_rule=*:bytes=300M File /etc/dovecot/users :user2@domain.com::3000:3000::/home/vmail/domain.com/user2/:/bin/false:: What is the correct syntax for my file to use a different per-user quota ? This example not work on my Dovecot :user2@domain.com:{CRAM-MD5}:3000:3000::/home/vmail/domain.com/user2::userdb_mail=maildir:~/Maildir userdb_quota_rule=*:storage=200Muser2@domain.com:{CRAM-MD5}:3000:3000::/home/vmail/domain.com/user2::userdb_quota_rule=*:bytes=200M Thx.

[Dovecot] set delay between pop3-logins
by tonjg 28 Jul '11

28 Jul '11

I'm using dovecot 1.1.8 on a raq4 server running centos 4.8 Is it possible to set a time delay between all dovecot pop3-logins? say 20 - 30 seconds for example? My reason is I want to thwart the constant login attempts from hackers hunting for an open relay. It's no good blocking the ip address because every hack attempt comes in from a different address. I'm the only user on the server so no-one else would be affected by such a delay. Thanks for any pointers -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/set-delay-between-pop3-logins-tp32134037p32134037.html Sent from the Dovecot mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Dovecot] lmtp multiple recipients fail
by flylordis flylordis 28 Jul '11

28 Jul '11

Hello, I am having a problem with the lmtp delivery of mail addressed to multiple recipients. The first recipient receives the mail correctly but the next recipients do not. ltmp apparently tries to create a link from the subsequent recipients' mail store to the first recipient mail store and fails. This returns 451 smtp codes to the sender which then resends at some later time. Please see below for users jerry, steve, and mary. The message to jerry gets written but not steve or mary: ul 27 11:24:41 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412): Debug: none: root=, index=, control=, inbox= Jul 27 11:24:41 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412): Connect from 143.112.53.4 Jul 27 11:24:41 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412): Debug: auth input: jerry home=/spool/mail/j/jerry system_groups_user=jerry uid=18738 gid=4025 Jul 27 11:24:41 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412): Debug: auth input: steve home=/spool/mail/s/steve system_groups_user=steve uid=9838 gid=3011 Jul 27 11:24:41 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412): Debug: auth input: mary home=/spool/mail/m/mary system_groups_user=mary uid=7007 gid=3011 Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, jerry): Debug: Effective uid=18738, gid=4025, home=/spool/mail/j/jerry Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, jerry): Debug: fs: root=/spool/mail/j/jerry/mail, index=, control=, inbox=/spool/mail/j/jerry/mail/INBOX Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, jerry): Debug: Namespace : Permission lookup failed from /spool/mail/j/jerry/mail/mailboxes/INBOX Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, jerry): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions from /spool/mail/j/jerry/mail: mode=0700 gid=-1 Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, jerry): Debug: Namespace : Permission lookup failed from /spool/mail/j/jerry/mail/mailboxes/INBOX Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, jerry): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions from /spool/mail/j/jerry/mail: mode=0700 gid=-1 Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, jerry): Debug: Namespace : Permission lookup failed from /spool/mail/j/jerry/mail/mailboxes/INBOX Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, jerry): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions from /spool/mail/j/jerry/mail: mode=0700 gid=-1 Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, jerry): Debug: Namespace : Permission lookup failed from /spool/mail/j/jerry/mail/mailboxes/INBOX Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, jerry): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions from /spool/mail/j/jerry/mail: mode=0700 gid=-1 Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, jerry): +1IXBeVXME58MAAARoVNxQ: msgid=<201107271824.p6RIOPa5020900@backup.>: saved mail to INBOX Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, steve): Debug: Effective uid=9838, gid=3011, home=/spool/mail/s/steve Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, steve): Debug: fs: root=/spool/mail/s/steve/mail, index=, control=, inbox=/spool/mail/s/steve/mail/INBOX Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, steve): Debug: Namespace : Permission lookup failed from /spool/mail/s/steve/mail/mailboxes/INBOX Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, steve): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions from /spool/mail/s/steve/mail: mode=0700 gid=-1 Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, steve): Debug: Namespace : Permission lookup failed from /spool/mail/s/steve/mail/mailboxes/INBOX Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, steve): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions from /spool/mail/s/steve/mail: mode=0700 gid=-1 Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, steve): Debug: Namespace : Permission lookup failed from /spool/mail/s/steve/mail/mailboxes/INBOX Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, steve): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions from /spool/mail/s/steve/mail: mode=0700 gid=-1 Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, steve): Debug: Namespace : Permission lookup failed from /spool/mail/s/steve/mail/mailboxes/INBOX Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, steve): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions from /spool/mail/s/steve/mail: mode=0700 gid=-1 Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, steve): Error: link(/spool/mail/j/jerry/mail/INBOX/u.20423, /spool/mail/s/steve/mail/INBOX/.temp.1311791081.P12412Q2M989550.testmailserver.) failed: Permission denied Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, steve): +1IXBeVXME58MAAARoVNxQ: msgid=<201107271824.p6RIOPa5020900@backup.>: save failed to INBOX: Internal error occurred.

Hi, I'm using Dovecot 1.2.15 on Debian. On some clients, at least KMail, some messages (especially older ones) appear twice in the message list of the client. This is really annoying. Can anyone give me a hint on how to solve this issue? -- Best Regards, Dominik Schulz

Hello I would be grateful if someone could send an example of a dictionnary flat file used by the shared mailboxes feature, it has very few here so a flat file will be enough I think. Thank you

[Dovecot] Problem with client login in 1.2.17
by John O'Brien 27 Jul '11

27 Jul '11

Hi, I have been using CentOS 5.5 with Dovecot 1.0.7. My client apps login with TLS/SSL using an postgres database for username and password authentication. I developed a plugin that added an additional IMAP command. I want to eventually migrate to release 2.0 but have decided to make this a two step process. I have started with 1.2.17 as I hope this would be a smaller step along the way. I have installed 1.2.17 from source an installed. Rebuilt my plugin and installed and set about updating the dovecot.conf file. Installing the SSL certificate etc.....

[Dovecot] sieve, vacation - lda-dupes being ignored?

EVERY time the user checks his mails. I haven't heard any user complaint about this, but perhaps nobody tried this before. I recreated this situation (copy old qpopper message INBOX -> tmpbox -> INBOX) and produced two messages with identical X-UIDL headers, but according to the Wikipedia entry for POP3: Comparison with IMAP Clients that leave mail on servers generally use the UIDL command to get the current association of message-numbers to message identified by its unique identifier. The unique identifier is arbitrary, and might be repeated if the mailbox contains identical messages. This is echoed in RFC1939 (page 11-12) While it is generally preferable for server implementations to store arbitrarily assigned unique-ids in the maildrop, this specification is intended to permit unique-ids to be calculated as a hash of the message. Clients should be able to handle a situation where two identical copies of a message in a maildrop have the same unique-id. So POP3 UIDLs are not guaranteed to be unique, especially if the messages are the same. Perhaps some mail readers are making unwarranted assumptions about the uniqueness of UIDLs: http://www.eggheadcafe.com/software/aspnet/33485042/duplicate-messageiduidl… https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/view.php?id=3599 Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

[Dovecot] phantom new message notification
by Stan Hoeppner 26 Jul '11

26 Jul '11

I've developed a phantom new message notification on a single IMAP folder in Thunderbird. I've deleted the Dovecot index files for this problematic folder, and I've deleted the .msf file in the Tbird profile. Neither of which solved the problem. The only other time I've run into something similar was with CONDSTORE quite a long time ago, but that affected all folders, not just one. Any ideas? -- Stan

[Dovecot] drac plugin "net_ip2addr() failed: Operation not permitted"
by Michael Moritz 25 Jul '11

25 Jul '11

Hi, I'm trying to get the drac plugin working (again) but I'm stuck with the following message: Restarting IMAP/POP3 mail server: dovecotEDRAC: net_ip2addr() failed: Operation not permitted This is on a Debian Squeeze box, dovecot version 1.2.15-7, drac version 1.12 Looking at the source it should print the IP in the brackets of net_ip2addr. The fact that it's just empty made me think that I may need to set an environment variable. I tried IP="127.0.0.1" in /etc/default/dovecot and as export but to no avail. Any ideas? Thanks, mimo

[Dovecot] passwd not found
by Erik - versatel 25 Jul '11

25 Jul '11

If I use in dovecot.conf passdb passwd-file { args = /etc/dovecot/vhosts/%d/etc/shadow } userdb static { args = uid=virtual gid=virtual home=/var/mail/vhosts/%d/%u allow_all_users=yes } I get an authorisation failure in my mail.log file. If I use passdb passwd-file { args = /etc/dovecot/vhosts/shadow } userdb static { args = uid=virtual gid=virtual home=/var/mail/vhosts/%d/%u allow_all_users=yes } This works !!! (without the %d) in the passdb passwd-file Than the %d/%u is correctly rewritten in the userdb static. PS I have in the passwd-file the username@domain and the username documented for testing. I think there is some problem with the %d (DOMAIN) How can I check if %d is filled ?? And how can i make different authorisationdirs and files per domain.

Hi, I'm attempting to migrate a Courier-IMAP Server to Dovecto. I've followed the instructions in the Dovecot wiki and converted the indices using the provided perl script. Howevery I'm getting "UIDVALIDITY changed ..." messages in the logfile and some of the test clients list some messages twice. I didn't find much about this issue in the wiki. Any hints? -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best Regards Dominik

[Dovecot] Ubuntu package for dovecot 2.0.x from debian package
by Vincent Richomme 23 Jul '11

23 Jul '11

Hi, I am running a server under Ubuntu 11.04(natty) and I would like to install a 2.x version but unfortunately the only package available is 1.2.15. Of course I could compile and install from sources but I would prefer to handle packages because it's a lot simpler and cleaner. After some research I found some debian packages available here : http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/pool/testing-auto/dovecot-2.0/ So my question is would it be possible to recompile the source package to make a ubuntu one ? Or maybe could I install directly the debian package (but I suppose dependencies are not the same ...). If someone has already an experience with that and couls share his experience. Still don't understand why distros don't use dovecot 2.x ? Is it considered still as unstable ? Thanks

[Dovecot] Automatic Client Retrieval of Messages
by qmail＠top-consulting.net 23 Jul '11

23 Jul '11

Are there any mail clients that automatically pull in folder contents even though they don't have a subscription to that folder ? I have defined a namespace with subscriptions=yes, hidden=yes and list=yes. There are no subscriptions files for any of the users yet they are still pulling data from the folders in that namespace. What gives ?

[Dovecot] My status
by Timo Sirainen 23 Jul '11

23 Jul '11

Hello list, In case anyone's wondering why I haven't been replying here much lately: 1. I've been busy working (you know, paid work) on full text search indexing redesign. That change was a bigger job than I realized at first (mainly due to virtual mailboxes), so I've been a bit stressed/frustrated over it. I finally finished it today though, so that's over now: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.1/rev/7b9978eb6f91 I hope to add Antonio's Solr attachment indexing support to it once I'm a bit less busy. I'm in any case also going to add generic attachment indexing so that CLucene backend can also do it. I've also other work left to do for a few more weeks. 2. My new apartment gets too hot (30C) when it gets over about 22C outside, which is almost daily. So my brain melts in the heat and I don't have energy to do much of anything. But I finally yesterday bought an air conditioning machine, which should solve this problem. I don't know why I didn't buy it weeks ago. So .. I'll try to get back to reading and answering mails next week after I've finished some more work and don't feel like I'm lagging behind too much.

[Dovecot] failed creating protocol instance to play queued url
by Ken Mandelberg 22 Jul '11

22 Jul '11

I run thunderbird (both 3.x and 5.x) against dovecot 2.x and frequently see delays "loading message". I admit to having a very large mailbox and running multiple imap clients. I've turned on thunderbird debugging, and at least one pattern I see in the log during the delays (maybe a minute long) is the failed protocol message above. These are no the only delays, but are the ones that catch my eye. The thunderbird debug logs are not time stamped (that I can tell), so its difficult to go back and find the delays from the log. Here is an example of one of the delays.

[Dovecot] Dovecot2 Antispam plugin questions
by Steve Fatula 22 Jul '11

22 Jul '11

Tried to find some doc on this (other than the c code), couldn't, so, asking. I do almost every programming language, except C! When using DSPAM backend with this tool, will the plugin send ONLY the signature and not the entire message to dspam for retraining? Concerned about very large emails. If this is the case, I'd rather do this than use say the mailtrain backend which I presume would send the entire message. Having some permission problems though with the dspam binary since regular users can't execute dspam the way it is currently set up. Any security reason to not allow regular users to run the binary?

[Dovecot] Shared folders and home directories
by Christian Lerrahn 21 Jul '11

21 Jul '11

Hi, I've recently migrated a server from a Qmail/VPOPMail setup to a Postfix/system accounts setup. Everything worked pretty much out of the box after just changing the passdb and userdb to pam and passwd. However, I cannot get my shared folders to work. In the logs I will always see something like Jul 21 07:24:10 mybox dovecot: IMAP(foobar): Namespace 'shared/': Could not lookup home for user bla Jul 21 07:24:11 mybox dovecot: IMAP(foobar): userdb lookup: connect(/var/run/dovecot/auth-master) failed: No such file or directory Now, I don't understand why I need auth-master to find the home directory of user "bla" (who owns the shared folder). However, even if I configure auth-master, only the error messages will go away but I still can't see the shared folders. The configuration (as shown below) worked fine with vpopmail and is just taken from http://wiki.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Shared . What do I have to change to make this work with passwd instead? Do I really need auth-master? If yes, how do I need to set it up to do the job properly?

[Dovecot] %w variable is missing
by Tom Sommer 21 Jul '11

21 Jul '11

Hi, I just noticed that the %w variable is now empty, after upgrading to version 2.0.11? I can still find references to it in the documentation, and in doc/wiki/Variables.txt - but the variable is empty and I can't find any references to it in the sourcecode. Was it overlooked or has it been removed? I'm in need of it :) Thanks. // Tom

[Dovecot] POP3 vs. IMAP Load/Memory usage in Dovecot 1.0.15
by lists＠truthisfreedom.org.uk 21 Jul '11

21 Jul '11

Hi all, We've just provisioned a new cluster of dovecot nodes running Centos and Dovecot 1.0.15 (we needed to match the original configuration, we're upgrading to 1.2 next week!). The nodes are currently equally allocated (50/50 split) to IMAP and POP3, with the intention to move them into a single cluster hosting both services in the next month. All the servers are of identical spec (24 cores, 24G RAM) and are configured to load the indices, control files and maildirs via NFS. We have noticed that the IMAP servers appear to be under much less load and utilising drastically less RAM than the POP3 servers and I'm wondering if there is a reason for this as we have seen some swapping onto disk yet we are only handling 500 concurrent POP3 connections to each server at any given time compared with over 600 IMAP connections. I'm wondering if we've missed a config flag somewhere or (better still!) this issue will go away when we upgrade to 1.2. If anyone can shed any light on this, that would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance, Matt

[Dovecot] dovecot2 on Snow Leopard trouble
by Denis J. Cirulis 20 Jul '11

20 Jul '11

Hello list, I have one task to complete - to install and configure imap server on Mac Mini OS X 10.6.8. I'm not new to dovecot, so the favorite imap server is dovecot. Are there any special settings running dovecot on OS X ? I've compiled dovecot 2.0.13 with mysql5 and openssl via macports. Configured virtual users from mysql and turned on all debug, but when I connect to this server via MUA I'm receiving the message "Mailbox locked. Next try in XX seconds" or something like that. No errors in dovecot.log, clean auth process, correct data (passwords,spool dirs) from mysql. Same configuration works on Linux,FreeBSD and Solaris like a charm. What can be a problem running on OS X ?

[Dovecot] Performance with 200k messages in Maildir
by Vegard Svanberg 20 Jul '11

20 Jul '11

What should I expect performance-wise if I put 200000 messages in a Maildir store and use two or three MUAs (mutt and Thunderbird), on an Athlon dual core 2GHz with SATA drives in software RAID (Linux)? Like; would it be useless/crawling, usable or pretty fast. I imagine MUA startup / first time folder read would be slow, but daily use more or less ok. Thanks to Dovecot's indexing, I imagine I would be better off interfacing Mutt to Maildir via IMAP and Dovecot rather than accessing Maildir/ directly? -- Vegard Svanberg <vegard(a)svanberg.no> [*Takapa@IRC (EFnet)]

[Dovecot] passwd not found
by Erik - versatel 20 Jul '11

If I use in dovecot.conf passdb passwd-file { args = /etc/dovecot/vhosts/%d/etc/shadow } userdb static { args = uid=virtual gid=virtual home=/var/mail/vhosts/%d/%u allow_all_users=yes } I get an authorisation failure in my mail.log file. If I use passdb passwd-file { args = /etc/dovecot/vhosts/shadow } userdb static { args = uid=virtual gid=virtual home=/var/mail/vhosts/%d/%u allow_all_users=yes } This works !!! (without the %d) in the passdb passwd-file Than the %d/%u is correctly rewritten in the userdb static. PS I have in the passwd-file the username@domain and the username documented for testing. I think there is some problem with the %d (DOMAIN) How can I check if %d is filled ?? And how can i make different authorisationdirs and files per domain.

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2, Imap service, client_limit
by Steve Fatula 20 Jul '11

20 Jul '11

I see back in November of last year, a thread about using client_limit in the imap service (not imap-login) that would allow each imap process serve more than one connection. Sounded good, until I tried it! When I did, unlike the OP of that thread, I got: dovecot: imap(submit.user): Fatal: setuid(503(submit.user) from userdb lookup) failed with euid=501(links): Operation not permitted (This binary should probably be called with process user set to 503(submit.user) instead of 501(links)) So, it would appear that this does not work. Still, the thread was posting results of their testing even that showed it worked. Sample message within the thread, read for more: http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2010-November/054893.html I'd love to be able to use a single imap process for more than one connection. Is this still possible, or, not? If so, how? Steve

[Dovecot] Dovecot + Vpopmail quota issues
by qmail＠top-consulting.net 20 Jul '11

20 Jul '11

I can't get dovecot to ignore a certain directory/namespace when calculating quotas. I am running dovecot 1.2.16 with vpopmail configured for quotas. I use the dot (.) as my separator and my user structure is as follows: ../domain.com/user/Maildir for all the user directories I also have for each user: ../domain.com/user/Maildir/Archive which is a symlink to a NFS mounted partition that holds read-only archives In dovecot.conf I have defined them as follows: mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir namespace private { separator = . prefix = ARCHIVE. inbox = no hidden = yes list = yes location = maildir:~/Maildir/Archive } namespace private { separator = . prefix = inbox = yes } This works very well, in as much as I see the Archive namespace and its folders. The problem arises in the fact that Dovecot insists on calculating the 'Archive' namespace/directory storage towards the total storage used. My Quota configuration is as follows: auth default { mechanisms = plain login digest-md5 cram-md5 passdb vpopmail { args = webmail=192.168.1.12 } userdb vpopmail { args = quota_template=quota_rule3=*:backend=%q } ... } plugin { quota = maildir quota_rule = ?:storage=0 quota_rule2 = Archive:ignore quota_rule3 = ARCHIVE:ignore } From what I've read, this is supposed to use the maildirsize file when available or otherwise return no quota. It worked just fine before this new Archive namespace. For a certain user, vpopmail writes the 'maildirsize' file in ../domain.com/user/Maildir/maildirsize and it contains the correct value ( without the /Archive directory ). The problem is that for some reason, something ( I suspect dovecot ) writes a new maildirsize file in ../domain.com/user/Maildir/Archive/maildirsize which also contains the size of Archive. Subsequently, Dovecot adds the two of them up and usually throws me over quota. To test, I have emptied the maildirsize file under Archive and changed its owner to root (perms are 755 ) so that nobody but root can write to it. Dovecot complained right away about it: Jul 19 12:55:21 pop1 dovecot: IMAP(user(a)domain.com): open(/home/vpopmail/domains/B/domain.com/user/Maildir/Archive/maildirsize) failed: Permission denied Despite passing the quota responsibility to vpopmail it seems that Dovecot still tries to update that file. And finally the question... How do I get dovecot to not calculate a quota for that directory/namespace ?

[Dovecot] Problem with zlib plugin and flags
by Jeremy Maryott 19 Jul '11

19 Jul '11

Hi, I'm working on enabling the zlib plugin and compressing most of the mail on my mail server, and I've run into a bit of a problem with doing things as described on the wiki's zlib plugin page (here: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Zlib) I'm using Dovecot 1.2.15 and maildir as a mailbox format on Debian 5. I have a script that implements the steps listed at the bottom of the wiki page. The problem has to do with step 5, which recommends that you add a 'Z' flag to each email that you compress so that you don't compress it again. The problem that I ran into is that when you move an email to another mail folder, this flag appears to go away. As a result, my script has compressed some emails that were already compressed, rendering them unreadable by Dovecot. I've mostly solved that problem, and my compression script now runs 'file' and looks to see if it's gzipped already for each file that's a candidate for compression. I'm not sure this is the best solution (it's definitely slower than just checking the filename), so I'm open to better alternatives. Reading http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/Maildir, I see that Dovecot supports 'non-standard fields' specified after normal flags and a comma. It seems like that might be a better place to put the 'Z' flag, if Dovecot won't retain it when places with the normal flags. I'm unsure how the filename would look if it doesn't currently have any flags, though. Would there just be two commas in a row, followed by my non-standard flag? If I haven't missed or misconfigured anything and what I said above is correct, the wiki should be changed so others don't run into the same problems I have. I'm happy to do so, but I didn't want to make any changes without making sure I was right about what was going on. Thanks, Jeremy

[Dovecot] dovecot 2.0.13 using LDAP and proxying IMAP4 and POP3 to gmail
by Volker Scheuber 18 Jul '11

18 Jul '11

Fellow dovecot users/contributors, I am building a POP3/IMAP4 proxy solution for an enterprise, where users can login with their common username and then they get single sign-on to all kinds of different applications in the backend. Some of these applications are SaaS apps like gmail. For gmail in particular, I want dovecot to solve the following issues for me: 1. be an IMAP4/POP3 proxy in the enterprise, proxying client requests to mail.com. 2. change both username and password from what's coming in from the client to what's being proxied out to gmail. 3. use LDAP for authentication As a prototype, I implemented #1 and #2 using passwd-files and after a few hours of try and error, I got it to work and was able to login with "username" and "password" and was proxied through to gmail with "username(a)gmail.com" and "gmailpassword". Totally awesome. Now I am stuck porting my working prototype from my laptop and passwd-files to my real lab environment and LDAP. I was able to get the authentication to work but that's about it. I can't get dovecot to do the proxying. I searched the mailing list archives and saw other people having similar issues, but that was almost 4 years ago... The most promising thread similar to my requirements and issues was this one: http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2007-September/025740.html but it was never fully answered nor did the suggestion given to that thread help me with my issue (but I did follow them). Here is my current configuration: dovecot -n # 2.0.13: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32.36-0.5-default x86_64 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86_64) auth_debug = yes auth_debug_passwords = yes auth_verbose = yes auth_verbose_passwords = plain disable_plaintext_auth = no mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%n passdb { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext driver = ldap master = yes pass = yes } passdb { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext driver = ldap } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext driver = ldap } My ldap configuration is: cat /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext |grep -v ^##* |grep . hosts = 127.0.0.1:389 dn = cn=user,ou=users,o=config dnpass = password auth_bind = yes auth_bind_userdn = cn=%n,ou=users,o=data ldap_version = 3 base = ou=users,o=data deref = never scope = subtree user_attrs = =home=/var/mail,uidNumber=uid,gidNumber=gid user_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%n)) pass_attrs = mail=user,userPassword=password,uid=proxy,=ssl=any-cert,city=host,description=pass,cn=nologin pass_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%n)) iterate_filter = (objectClass=posixAccount) default_pass_scheme = CRYPT When connecting to dovecot through an IMAP client (evolution in my case) the dovecot log shows: Jul 16 13:32:17 linux-1hen dovecot: auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/auth Jul 16 13:32:17 linux-1hen dovecot: auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=26601) Jul 16 13:32:17 linux-1hen dovecot: auth: Debug: client in: AUTH1PLAINservice=imapsecuredlip=137.65.156.25rip=164.99.195.4lport=993rport=49203resp=AGFhYmVsbABOMHYzbGwxMjM0NTY= Jul 16 13:32:17 linux-1hen dovecot: auth: Debug: client out: OK1user=aabell Jul 16 13:32:17 linux-1hen dovecot: auth: Debug: master in: REQUEST3762290689266011e9ff0815dea78591a5437731034c14aa Jul 16 13:32:17 linux-1hen dovecot: auth: Debug: ldap(aabell,164.99.195.4): user search: base=ou=users,o=data scope=subtree filter=(&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=aabell)) fields=uidNumber,gidNumber Jul 16 13:32:17 linux-1hen dovecot: auth: Debug: ldap(aabell,164.99.195.4): result: gidNumber(gid)=1001 uidNumber(uid)=1001 Jul 16 13:32:17 linux-1hen dovecot: auth: Debug: master out: USER3762290689aabellgid=1001uid=1001home=/var/mail Jul 16 13:32:17 linux-1hen dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<aabell>, method=PLAIN, rip=164.99.195.4, lip=137.65.156.25, mpid=26604, TLS It doesn't even seem to be recognizing the extra fields I defined in pass_attrs.

[Dovecot] ACL/shared-folder and Thunderbird
by Christian Roessner 17 Jul '11

17 Jul '11

Hi, I still have some problems with thunderbird and Dovecot. I added ACL/shared-folders to dovecot. While everything is working perfectly under Apple Mail and roundcube, thunderbird behaves very strange. What I did: 1. Step I have three mail accounts set up in thunderbird. In the second and third account I managed IMAL-ACLs on the INBOXes, with following flags: eilrwtsd 2. Step At the first account, I chose IMAP subscriptions and I added both INBOXes (shared/.../INBOX) 3. Step Accounts were shown under shared. The folder shared and one level under shared was wriiten in italic. The INBOXes were shown as regular. 4. Step Clicking on each INBOX showed the mails. I chose properties and selected to compress each folder, if it shows more than 100 mails. 5. Step Closing Thunderbird and restarting it. Now thunderbird shows error notifications that it could noct find a mailbox named shared/shared and that mailboxes shared/system(a)service.intern and shared/de1001(a)service.intern would not exist. The folders shared and the level beyond now is shown as regular folder. I still can see the mails form the INBOXes. But each time I reopen Thunderbird, I get the same error messages. This is, what dovecot is logging: Jul 17 14:38:51 mx0 dovecot: auth: ldap(shared(a)roessner-net.de): unknown user Jul 17 14:38:51 mx0 dovecot: imap(de10000(a)service.intern): Error: Couldn't create namespace 'shared/' for user shared: userdb didn't return a home directory, but plugin setting quota used it (%h): dict:User quota::file:%h/mdbox/dovecot-quota Jul 17 14:40:51 mx0 dovecot: imap(de10000(a)service.intern): Error: Couldn't create namespace 'shared/' for user shared: userdb didn't return a home directory, but plugin setting quota used it (%h): dict:User quota::file:%h/mdbox/dovecot-quota Jul 17 14:42:49 mx0 dovecot: imap(de10000(a)service.intern): Error: Couldn't create namespace 'shared/' for user shared: userdb didn't return a home directory, but plugin setting quota used it (%h): dict:User quota::file:%h/mdbox/dovecot-quota doveadm config -n # 2.0.13: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-33-generic-pae i686 Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS auth_cache_size = 10 M auth_default_realm = roessner-net.de auth_master_user_separator = * auth_mechanisms = plain login digest-md5 cram-md5 ntlm auth_realms = roessner-net.de auth_verbose = yes lda_mailbox_autocreate = yes lda_mailbox_autosubscribe = yes mail_access_groups = vmail mail_gid = vmail mail_location = mdbox:~/mdbox mail_plugins = quota mail_privileged_group = mail mail_uid = vmail managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = separator = / } namespace { list = children location = mdbox:%%h/mdbox:INDEX=~/mdbox/shared/%%u prefix = shared/%%u/ separator = / subscriptions = no type = shared } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/master-users driver = passwd-file master = yes pass = yes } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext driver = ldap } plugin { acl = vfile acl_shared_dict = file:/var/mail/virtual/shared-mailboxes quota = dict:User quota::file:%h/mdbox/dovecot-quota quota_rule = *:storage=300M:messages=20000 quota_warning = storage=95%% quota-warning 95 %u quota_warning2 = storage=80%% quota-warning 80 %u recipient_delimiter = + sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve sieve_extensions = -reject } postmaster_address = postmaster(a)mx0.roessner-net.de protocols = imap pop3 sieve lmtp service auth-worker { unix_listener auth-worker { user = vmail } user = vmail } service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { group = vmail mode = 0660 } user = vmail } service imap-login { service_count = 0 vsz_limit = 64 M } service lmtp { inet_listener lmtp { address = ::1 port = 24 } } service managesieve-login { service_count = 0 } service quota-warning { executable = script /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh unix_listener quota-warning { user = vmail } user = dovecot } ssl_cert = </ca/mail.roessner-net.de/newcert.pem ssl_key = </ca/mail.roessner-net.de/newkey.pem userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext driver = ldap } verbose_proctitle = yes protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = quota sieve } protocol lda { mail_plugins = quota sieve acl } protocol imap { imap_client_workarounds = tb-extra-mailbox-sep mail_max_userip_connections = 50 mail_plugins = quota imap_quota acl imap_acl } Sorry to bother you once again with dovecot/thunderbird questions.

[Dovecot] dovecot init script
by Brandon Lamb 17 Jul '11

17 Jul '11

Anyone have a working startup script for ubuntu 11.04? Ive used debian forever, but apparently /var/run is now a tmpfs, so there is no dovecot directory on a reboot. Its all brand new to me so I dont know if there is a standard way to have it created on boot (obviously other system scripts are creating directories). I dont even know if this is something that goes in an init.d script or configured elsewhere. I came across something that mentioned systemd and /etc/tmpfiles.d (or something like that) which didnt seem to do anything. Anyway, any help or a point in the right direction would be awesome =D Thanks! Brandon

Hi Timo and List, The Dovecot 2.0.10 changelog includes: * LMTP: For user+detail@domain deliveries, the +detail is again written to Delivered-To: header. I have recipient_delimiter = + set, lmtp_save_to_detail_mailbox=yes is working, however Dovecot 2.0.12 LMTP processes are not adding these headers to messages on delivery. Are there other settings that may potentially conflict with this feature?

[Dovecot] ImapTest and QRESYNC testing
by Norman Maurer 15 Jul '11

15 Jul '11

Hi there, I'm currently working on adding QRESYNC support for james.apache.org/imap (which is a JAVA - based imapserver). For testing I'm currently using ImapTest but I'm currently not really sure it really reflect the RFC. Here are the "problems" I see: * It expect to have the UID param in the FETCH Response if QRESYNC was enabled (I was not able to spot the section were it is stated in the rfc) * EXPUNGE command seems to expect EXPUNGE Responses if QRESYNC was enabled, but from the RFC I think VANISHED is valid also. It even seems to fail when testing again dovecot.. So how much can I trust it when testing QRESYNC ? Thanks, Norman Ps: I'm not good a C at all, so its hard for me to provide patches ;)

[Dovecot] Backup namespace
by qmail＠top-consulting.net 15 Jul '11

15 Jul '11

I use dovecot 1.2.16 and I use . (dot) as the hierarchy separator. My user structure is like so: username/Maildir/.Folder1 username/Maildir/.Folder1.Subfolder The Inbox is right under: username/Maildir/cur & username/Maildir/new My namespace definition for the regular mail is: namespace private { separator = . prefix = inbox = yes } In a separate directory, nfs mounted, I also hold full daily backups of each users entire Maildir. It has the following structure: /archive/username/.14.07.2011/.Folder1 /archive/username/.14.07.2011/.Folder1.Subfolder /archive/username/.15.07.2011/.Folder1 /archive/username/.15.07.2011/.Folder1.Subfolder What I'm trying to do is to make the Backups available to each user in their IMAP. I was thinking of symlinking like this: username/Maildir/Backups --> /archive/username/ Would that work ? What should my namespace look like for this situation ? Is there a better way to do this ?

[Dovecot] authentication problems with pam_mkhomedir
by Defenestrate 15 Jul '11

15 Jul '11

Hi! I'm struggling with pam_mkhomedir. Accounts are stored in LDAP (CentOS Directory Server AKA 389 Directory Server). I am not pre-creating user home directories, and would like to use the pam_mkhomedir module to create the directories on the fly, when a user is authenticated via pop3s. pam_mkhomedir is working for interactive (e.g. SSH logins), but I don't want to require users to login interactively just so their home directory is created. Dovecot version: 1.0.7 dovecot -n output: protocols: pop3s >ssl_cert_file: /etc/pki/tls/certs/mail.ourdomain.tld.pem >ssl_key_file: /etc/pki/tls/private/mail.ourdomain.tld.pem >login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login >login_executable: /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login >mail_privileged_group: mail >mail_location: mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u >mail_executable: /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3 >mail_plugin_dir: /usr/lib64/dovecot/pop3 >pop3_client_workarounds: oe-ns-eoh, outlook-no-nuls >auth default: > verbose: yes > debug: yes > passdb: > driver: pam > args: session=yes dovecot > userdb: > driver: ldap > args: /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf /etc/pam.d/dovecot: authsufficientpam_ldap.so >authrequiredpam_deny.so > > >accountsufficientpam_ldap.so >accountrequiredpam_deny.so > > >passwordsufficientpam_ldap.so use_authtok >password requiredpam_deny.so > > >sessionoptionalpam_ldap.so >sessionrequiredpam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel umask=0022 > >With the pam_mkhomedir.so line, I see the following in maillog: Jul 14 16:14:26 mail dovecot: auth(default): client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=POP3 secured lip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx rip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx resp=<hidden> Jul 14 16:14:26 mail dovecot: auth(default): client out: CONT 1 Jul 14 16:14:26 mail dovecot: auth(default): client in: CONT<hidden> Jul 14 16:14:26 mail dovecot: auth(default): pam(joe.schmoe,xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx): lookup service=dovecot Jul 14 16:14:26 mail dovecot: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=25209 Jul 14 16:14:26 mail dovecot: auth(default): pam(joe.schmoe,xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx): pam_open_session() failed: Permission denied Jul 14 16:14:28 mail dovecot: auth(default): client out: FAIL 1 user=joe.schmoe Jul 14 16:14:28 mail dovecot: auth(default): client in: AUTH 2 PLAIN service=POP3 secured lip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx rip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx resp=<hidden> With the pam_mkhomedir.so line commented out: Jul 14 16:15:27 mail dovecot: auth(default): client out: CONT 1 Jul 14 16:15:27 mail dovecot: auth(default): client in: CONT<hidden> Jul 14 16:15:27 mail dovecot: auth(default): pam(joe.schmoe,xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx): lookup service=dovecot Jul 14 16:15:27 mail dovecot: auth(default): client out: OK 1 user=joe.schmoe Jul 14 16:15:27 mail dovecot: auth(default): master in: REQUEST 1 25286 1 Jul 14 16:15:27 mail dovecot: auth(default): ldap(joe.schmoe,xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx): user search: base=ou=People, dc=ourdomain, dc=tld scope=subtree filter=(&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=joe.schmoe)) fields=homeDirectory,uidNumber,gidNumber Jul 14 16:15:27 mail dovecot: auth(default): master out: USER 1 joe.schmoe home=/home/joe.schmoe uid=1057 gid=1000 Jul 14 16:15:27 mail dovecot: POP3(joe.schmoe): mkdir_parents(/home/joe.schmoe/mail) failed: Permission denied Jul 14 16:15:27 mail dovecot: POP3(joe.schmoe): Failed to create storage with data: mbox:/home/joe.schmoe/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/joe.schmoe Jul 14 16:15:27 mail dovecot: child 25292 (pop3) returned error 89 Jul 14 16:15:27 mail dovecot: pop3-login: Login: user=<joe.schmoe>, method=PLAIN, rip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, lip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, TLS Jul 14 16:19:05 mail dovecot: auth(default): client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=POP3 secured lip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx rip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx resp=<hidden> Any Suggestions?

[Dovecot] Process parameters tuning
by Angel L. Mateo 14 Jul '11

14 Jul '11

Hi, I'm having problems with director and lmtp for delivering messages to my dovecot farm. Also I have a warning like this: doveconf: Warning: service auth { client_limit=4096 } is lower than required under max. load (5048) doveconf: Warning: service anvil { client_limit=1000 } is lower than required under max. load (2003) So I'm trying to tune processes parameters, but I haven't found a complete description of these parameters. All I've found are examples. Questions are about client_limit, service_count, process_limit and process_min_avail. I think that process_limit and process_min_avail are the maximum of running processes for a service and the minimuf of idle process, respectively. But I don't completely understand what exactly are client_limit and service_count, Service_count means how many times a process is reused. If you configure it as 1 means that every time a process ends its connections, it dies. If you configure as 0, when the connections ends, then the process remains idle waiting for new connections. Isn't it? But what does client_limit means? The number of clients that a process can handle? Then number that can handle concurrently? Can a process handle more than one client concurrently? The documentation at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/LoginProcess simply says: * Otherwise new processes are created only once an existing one's connection count reaches client_limit * Default client_limit * process_limit = 1000*100 = 100k connections Does this mean that a process handle a maximun of client_limit connections concurrently? -- Angel L.

[Dovecot] Director lmtp timeout errors
by Angel L. Mateo 13 Jul '11

13 Jul '11

Hello, I have configured two dovecot servers with director acting as lmtp/imap/pop proxy server with 8 dovecot backend servers. In our test environment we had no problem, but when we migrated to production environment, our mail list server (it delivers mail through lmtp) is having a lot of errors like this: 451 4.4.0 Remote server not answering (DATA output timeout) (in reply to end of DATA command)) I have found this same issue in some posts to this list, but I can't find any solution Any idea? -- Angel L.

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.0.13 and removing IMAP folders in thunderbird
by Christian Roessner 13 Jul '11

13 Jul '11

Hi, I use Dovecot-2.0.13 with mdbox and Thunderbird (IMAP). I have dozens of imap folders and sometimes I wish to delete several folders: First Problem: If I remove a folder under TB, it get moved to my Trash folder. After that I close TB, which also purges the trash. When I come back, the deleted folder and its content is still there. There is no way to remove it with TB. On the server side I see that the folder is listed under mailboxes/Trash and in the subscriptions file, a last line shows that Trash/foldername is subscribed. If I remove that line and the mailboxes-folder, then TB is happy again. Second problem: If I have two folders a and b, both containing a folder example: a/example b/example I only can delete one folder. By deleting the second one, the IMAP server tells me that there already exists on folder named example. I am not sure, if this is thunderbird or dovecot related, but both problems are really annoying. Am I missing some configuration? Thunderbird is Ubuntu's packaged version 3.1.10. Thanks for any ideas and help in advance and don't get me wrong: I really love dovecot ;-) Best wishes Christian -- Roessner-Network-Solutions Bachelor of Science Informatik 50°34.725'N, 08°40.904'O, Nahrungsberg 81, 35390 Giessen F: +49 641 5879091, M: +49 176 93118939 USt-IdNr.: DE225643613 http://www.roessner-network-solutions.com

[Dovecot] How to turn off "plus" delivery
by gene 13 Jul '11

13 Jul '11

I use a lot of plus-style addresses (me+stuff(a)example.com) except I use underscore as the separator rather than plus (me_stuff(a)example.com) My mail logs are full of messages where dovecot looks for a mailbox named "stuff", fails, then delivers to my inbox. Is there a way to turn that off so that dovecot automatically delivers to my inbox? Thanks!

[Dovecot] Many "Error: Corrupted index cache file /XXX/dovecot.index.cache: invalid record size"
by Florent Bautista 11 Jul '11

11 Jul '11

Hi all, I just joigned this list, so I'm sorry if this problem has already been reported. I'm running Dovecot 2.0.13 on many servers, one for POP/IMAP access, others for LDA, others for authentification only, etc. All servers are accessing a shared file system, based on MooseFS (www.moosefs.org) The FS is mounted using FUSE. All my Dovecot servers have this configuration : mail_fsync = always mail_nfs_index = yes mail_nfs_storage = yes mmap_disable = yes (as adviced for NFS installation). But I'm still getting errors like this in POP/IMAP logs : Error: Corrupted index cache file /my_moosefs_fs/domain/user/indexes/.INBOX/dovecot.index.cache: invalid record size Sometimes my Dovecot LDA repairs these files, but then it happens again... All my servers are running Debian 6 over KVM virtualization. Have you ever encountered this ? Do you think this is a Dovecot problem or MooseFS problem ?

Hi All, We had 15 imap/pop UW-imap servers behind load balancer and mail storage was NFS for almost around ~30,000 users on it. Currently we migrate UW-imap to dovecot with fcntl NFS locking. After migration on dovecot it started error related locking see following error Error: fcntl() failed with mbox file /home/w/a/wahmed/.inbox: No locks available Error: fcntl() failed with mbox file /home/e/d/edurand/.inbox: No locks available Look like my NFS locking getting overload or something its (netapps NFS server) what you suggest to fix this issue ? how uw-imap was working with NFS before ? Appreciate your help. -S

[Dovecot] Dovecot indexes
by Mike Prispan 11 Jul '11

11 Jul '11

Hi, could someone answer my following questions about dovecot indexes? - If I delete dovecot indexes, it recreates them without any problem, right? - If dovecot recreates indexes, it does not affect users (they don't have to download all emails again, seen flag is not lost etc.) or is there any problem? - If I use mail_location = ...:INDEX=MEMORY, it recreates indexes every time dovecot is (re)started, right? Does it have any negative effect except performance/resources? - Is there any difference in indexes for mbox and maildir (related to previous questions)? Thanks Mike

[Dovecot] compressed folder bug
by Giulio Casella 11 Jul '11

11 Jul '11

I found a strange behaviour in dovecot compressed folder, maybe a bug. It happens only if you have one (and just one!) email in a gz compressed folder. I'm talking about a mbox server. Step to reproduce: - create a new folder, using any client (I think this step is not important, it happens also if tou create this folder server-side). - copy one message (any message) into newly created folder (using your favourite drag-n-drop gesture, saving in that folder using you character client (mutt,...), etc.) - if your client automatically subscribe to newly created folders, unsubscribe from it - On your server "gzip newfolder" - On your client subscribe "newfolder.gz" - Try to access you newfolder This is what I get in logfiles: Jul 11 14:08:08 myhostname dovecot: imap(giulio): Error: Next message unexpectedly lost from mbox file /home/giulio/Mail/testfolder.gz at 9082 (cached) Jul 11 14:08:08 myhostname dovecot: imap(giulio): Error: read(/home/giulio/Mail/testfolder.gz) failed: Invalid argument (uid=1) Jul 11 14:08:08 myhostname dovecot: imap(giulio): Disconnected: Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. [2011-07-11 14:08:08] bytes=2045/23657 The funniest thing is that if I have a folder with more than one message it works like a charm.

[Dovecot] Lots of LMTP errors Remote server not answering (DATA output timeout) (in reply to end of DATA command))

Hello, I have configured two dovecot servers with director acting as lmtp/imap/pop proxy server with 8 dovecot backend servers. In our test environment we had no problem, but when we migrated to production environment, our mail list server (it delivers mail through lmtp) is having a lot of errors like this: 451 4.4.0 Remote server not answering (DATA output timeout) (in reply to end of DATA command)) Proxy and backend servers are not loaded.

[Dovecot] dsync and compressed folders
by Giulio Casella 11 Jul '11

11 Jul '11

I'm trying to migrate my old dovecot server (mbox based) to a new one (maildir based), both are version 2.0.13. I'm using dsync: oldserver# dsync -u username backup ssh root@newserver dsync -u username Everything is working like a charm but when it tries to convert compressed folder I got an error: dsync-local(username): Error: Failed to sync mailbox OldMails/2008.gz: Mailbox isn't a valid mbox file. Both old and new installations support compressed folder via zlib plugin. If I'm not wrong dsync doesn't support compressed folder, does it? And, if so, are there any chances to have dsync support gzip'ed folders in the (near) future? Many thanks in advance, gc -- Giulio Casella giulio at dsi.unimi.it System and network manager Computer Science Dept. - University of Milano

[Dovecot] n00b here -- pop email deletion
by Glenn English 11 Jul '11

11 Jul '11

I'm running Dovecot IMAP and POP3 on Debian. But it look's like it's keeping mail in the user's inbox on the server until it's deleted by the user. I thought POP servers deleted email as soon as it was downloaded, but apparently not, according to dovecot.org. Is there something in the Dovecot conf I can do to get rid of all this redundant crud? I see several conversations on the 'Net about "quotas" that look like they might keep stuff around for a few days or weeks, then delete. That sounds lovely, but I don't understand them enough to try to make it happen. dovecot -n: > # 1.0.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf > log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S > protocols: imap pop3 > ssl_listen: * > ssl_disable: yes > disable_plaintext_auth: no > 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_max_processes_count: 12 > mail_privileged_group: mail > mail_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap > mail_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap > mail_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 > 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 > pop3_uidl_format(default): > pop3_uidl_format(imap): > pop3_uidl_format(pop3): %08Xu%08Xv > auth default: > mechanisms: plain login > passdb: > driver: pam > userdb: > driver: passwd > socket: > type: listen > client: > path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth > mode: 432 > user: postfix > group: postfix -- Glenn English

[Dovecot] IMAP not working remotely
by Ondřej Bouda 09 Jul '11

09 Jul '11

Hello, I am trying to set up Dovecot 2.0.9 on Fedora 14. The problem I would like to ask for resolution is that IMAP is not working when connecting to the server from another network. More precisely: - POP3 is working entirely OK, - IMAP is working OK when clients are connecting using local network addresses, like 192.168.0.100, - when a client connects from outside, thus using remote IP address, or even from the server itself using the remote IP address of the server, the following happens: the client correctly connects, but the server sends no greeting (neither the configured login_greeting nor the server IMAP capabilities) and does not respond to the commands. In the server log, I get the following record a while after trying to connect (and actually trying to login): Jul 08 23:24:16 imap-login: Info: Disconnected: Inactivity (no auth attempts): rip=<remote-server-address>, lip=192.168.0.100 Both routing and firewall are OK. The client really connects to dovecot (hence the log message), as seen from a telnet session: Trying a.b.c.d... Connected to example.tld (a.b.c.d). Escape character is '^]'. (and then nothing else) The most confusing for me is the fact that POP3 is configured quite the same and works fine, as well as IMAP on the local network. I tried to change address in the inet_listener imap configuration, but if a wrong address setting was the cause, the client would not get connected at all. As I have spent a pretty long time unsuccessfully searching for a cause, I am asking for some help. Thanks for your time, Ondrej Bouda dovecot -n output follows: # 2.0.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.35.11-83.fc14.x86_64 x86_64 Fedora release 14 (Laughlin) ext4 auth_mechanisms = plain login cram-md5 digest-md5 ntlm disable_plaintext_auth = no first_valid_gid = 502 first_valid_uid = 502 last_valid_gid = 502 last_valid_uid = 502 log_path = /var/log/dovecot login_greeting = Welcome mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/virtual/%d/%n passdb { args = scheme=plain username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/passwd driver = passwd-file } protocols = imap pop3 service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } user = dovecot-auth } service imap-login { inet_listener imap { address = * port = 143 } } service pop3-login { inet_listener pop3 { address = * port = 110 } } ssl = no userdb { args = username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/passwd driver = passwd-file } protocol pop3 { pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv }

[Dovecot] auth_username_chars question
by Linda Walsh 09 Jul '11

09 Jul '11

I notice there is a space after the = in the default setting: #auth_username_chars = abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ01234567890.-_@ Is that space part of the syntax or required? If not, does that mean 'space' is included in the default list of allowed characters? If not, then is the space after the '=' required? -- If not, the implication would seem to be that space is 'ignored'. If that's the case, how does one include 'space' in the list of allowed characters? Also, how does one include the "\" character in the list of allowed characters? I.e. is anything accepted, literally, after the first non-space char after the '=' sign? I.e. any spaces after the first non-space char would be taken as valid character, and '\' would also be a literal character? (not that'd I'd be using windows's clients or anything that would, on occasion, pass "DOMAINAME\user" as the calling user trying to log into a 'user' account....or anything....*ahem*...) Overrode it w/some hard-coded hacks, but would like dovecot to me more robust and handle weird input and do the right thing with it (I know that's always a challenging concept for some people, since the answers and ability to arrive at 'correct' is always 'contextual', and so many people want absolute rules that apply all the time in all cases, but...I think thats a diagnosable psychological condition ;-) ).

[Dovecot] Possible bug in shared namespace variable?
by Tom Clark 08 Jul '11

08 Jul '11

As you would have seen earlier I've created a shared mailbox with the following namespace: namespace { type = shared separator = . prefix = Shared.%%n. location = maildir:/var/vpopmail/domains/%%d/%%n/Maildir:INDEX=~/Maildir/Shared/%%n subscriptions = no list = children } This works perfectly, but for some reason the %%n variable in the location maildir is blank. Everywhere else %%n is used works (e.g. the prefix and INDEX). This means for the shared mailbox under support(a)mailbox.com I get a folder Mailder in the domain folder: /var/vpopmail/domains/mailbox.com/Maildir instead of /var/vpopmail/domains/mailbox.com/support/Maildir. Has anyone else come across this?

[Dovecot] Trash handling?
by Mason Loring Bliss 07 Jul '11

07 Jul '11

Hello, all. I've recently switched over to Dovecot from a long stretch of using Courier IMAP, and there's one thing I don't have working that I'd quite like. With Courier I had a magic trash folder in which things I deleted would live for a specified amount of time, after which they'd be deleted. I see how to get the expiry behaviour I want, but not the magic saving-to-mailbox functionality. lazy_expunge looks similar but not precisely what I want. Is there a default way to get expunged messages moved to a different mailbox but not a different namespace? Thanks in advance for clues. -- Mason Loring Bliss mason(a)blisses.org Ewige Blumenkraft!

[Dovecot] passdb/userdb via UNIX socket?
by Peter Mogensen 07 Jul '11

07 Jul '11

Hi, I've been running some performance tests - especially delivery (LDA and LMTP) and it seems there's room for improvement. At least it would be nice to get rid of the fork() and pipe to deliver LDA and the fork of the checkpasswd script for userdb lookup. I've tried LMTP to not fork deliver (*), but checkpasswd still takes time (ok, maybe because it's written on perl as of now). But I was wondering, why there's no passdb/userdb plugin for talking to a local authentication daemon over a UNIX socket? Have I missed something? Is there a thirdparty patch for this? /Peter *: Using Postfix "virtual" LDA seems much faster than asking Postfix to pipe data to "deliver". ... but then of course, I get no dovecot indexing by the LDA.

[Dovecot] Public Mailbox & ACLs
by Tom Clark 06 Jul '11

06 Jul '11

Hi, I'm having a problem I can't get my head around. I'm trying to setup a public mailbox that is hidden from all users unless granted access through an ACL. My folder structure is (migrated from a Courier IMAP/Qmail server): /var/spool/maildir - main public folder (contains a few .qmail files to redirect mail to the correct subfolder) /var/spool/maildir/Support - support public folder (a public folder rather than a maildir) /var/spool/maildir/Support/.SubFolder1 - support sub folder 1 (a maildir) /var/spool/maildir/Support/.SubFolder2 - support sub folder 2 (another maildir) /var/spool/maildir/System /var/spool/maildir/System/.SubFolder1 /var/spool/maildir/System/.SubFolder2 I couldn't get the namespace working correctly to just have 1 folder called "Shared" (you just got an empty folder when trying to subscribe). I ended up making 2 namespaces below: namespace { type = public separator = . prefix = Shared.Support. location = maildir:/var/spool/maildir/Support:INDEX=~/Maildir/Support subscriptions = no } namespace { type = public separator = . prefix = Shared.System. location = maildir:/var/spool/maildir/System:INDEX=~/Maildir/System subscriptions = no } This allowed me to get the result I was looking for. Using an ACL I get a Shared->Support/System->Subfolders view. However the problem is when a user is not in the ACL they can still see the Shared->Support/System folders (just none of the subfolders) and obviously can't subscribe. Could someone let me know what I am doing wrong and if there is a better way of doing this? Many thanks, Tom

[Dovecot] Problems with acl and shared namespace
by Udo Lembke 06 Jul '11

06 Jul '11

Hi, i'm a dovecot-newbie and also new at this mailinglist. I'm try to configure an mailserver with dovecot2, postfix and postfixadmin. At this time i struggle with acl and shared namespace. My goal is, that every user get an archive-area on an separate storage without quota (quota isn't running yet). With: namespace { type = private separator = / prefix = "archiv/%u/" location = maildir:/var/data/archiv/%d/%n:INDEX=/var/data/indexes/archiv/%u:LAYOUT=fs inbox = no subscriptions = yes list = yes } I see the folder, but i can't subscribe them (with thunderbird, or roundcube). With roundcube i can add a new folder below - so i use the trick autocreate5 = archiv/%u/archiv autosubscribe5 = archiv/%u/archiv This is as workaround ok - or is this a "must be"?. But the user should also be able to share parts of the archiv-mailbox with other users (partly on different domains). If i change the type of namespace to shared, i can't access the archiv-folder. The logfile shows problems with the acl (but also with private namespace): Jun 30 11:15:11 imap(test(a)example.com): Debug: Namespace : type=shared, prefix=archiv/test(a)example.com/, sep=/, inbox=no, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes location=maildir:/var/data/archiv/example.com/test:INDEX=/var/data/indexes/… Jun 30 11:15:11 imap(test(a)example.com): Debug: fs: root=/var/data/archiv/example.com/test, index=/var/data/indexes/archiv/test(a)example.com, control=, inbox= Jun 30 11:15:11 imap(test(a)example.com): Debug: acl: initializing backend with data: vfile Jun 30 11:15:11 imap(test(a)example.com): Debug: acl: acl username = test(a)example.com Jun 30 11:15:11 imap(test(a)example.com): Debug: acl: owner = 0 Jun 30 11:15:11 imap(test(a)example.com): Debug: acl vfile: Global ACL directory: (none) Jun 30 11:15:11 imap(test(a)example.com): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions from /var/data/mail/example.com/test: mode=0700 gid=-1 Jun 30 11:15:11 imap(test(a)example.com): Debug: acl vfile: file /var/data/archiv/example.com/test/dovecot-acl not found Jun 30 11:15:11 imap(test(a)example.com): Debug: autocreate: Failed to create mailbox archiv: Permission denied Jun 30 11:15:11 imap(test(a)example.com): Debug: Namespace archiv/test(a)example.com/: Using permissions from /var/data/archiv/example.com/test: mode=0700 gid=-1 Jun 30 11:15:11 imap(test(a)example.com): Debug: acl vfile: file /var/data/mail/example.com/test/dovecot-acl not found I'm wondering about "...dovecot-acl not found" because dovecot create an file "dovecot-acl-list" : # ls -l /var/data/archiv/example.com/test/ drwx------ 5 dovecot dovecot 4096 30.

[Dovecot] proxying user logged in with master user
by Miguel Cabeça 06 Jul '11

06 Jul '11

Hello, I'm running dovecot 1.2.15 and I'm having a problem proxying a user to another host, when this user is logged in with a masteruser. I have two dovecot servers configured to serve half of the users locally and to proxy the other half to the other host. Proxying is done using the masteruser feature (username*proxy) and it works as expected as the following test shows: # nc localhost 143 * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN AUTH=GSSAPI] Dovecot ready. 01 LOGIN ist90001 password_for_ist90001 01 OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE SORT SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT IDLE CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE QRESYNC ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH LIST-STATUS QUOTA] Logged in ^C And the corresponding log entry: Jul 6 13:10:06 mail1 dovecot: imap-login: proxy(ist90001): started proxying to X.Y.Z.W:143/ist90001*proxy: user=<ist90001>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured Jul 6 13:10:09 mail1 dovecot: imap-login: proxy(ist90001): disconnecting 127.0.0.1 The ist90001 is proxied to the other host as expected and as configured. The problem occurs when I try to use another masteruser to log into the server: # nc localhost 143 * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN AUTH=GSSAPI] Dovecot ready. 01 LOGIN ist90001*super password_for_super_masteruser 01 OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE SORT SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT IDLE CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE QRESYNC ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH LIST-STATUS QUOTA] Logged in ^C But this time the user isn't proxied to the other host. Instead he is logged in this host: Jul 6 13:11:14 mail1 dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<ist90001>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured Jul 6 13:11:16 mail1 dovecot: IMAP(ist90001): Connection closed bytes=0/292 Is this the intended behavior or a bug? I was expecting the user to be logged in with the password of the super masteruser, and then be proxied to the other host as it happens when the user is logged in with it's own password. I can provide any configuration details if needed. Best Regards Miguel Cabeça

[Dovecot] Converting from qpopper mbox to dovecot maildir
by list＠airstreamcomm.net 05 Jul '11

05 Jul '11

We have an older mail server using qpopper and the mbox format which we need to update to dovecot and maildir format. I have read through the docs on migrating from mbox to maildir, as well as a few nuggets on how to migrate from qpopper to dovecot, and I was wondering if I could get some suggestions on best practices for this specific migration. Would the built in dovecot conversion plugin be a viable method to migrate users? We will be migrating to dovecot 2.0.12 from qpopper 4.0.5. Thanks.

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.0.13 problem with LMTP
by Innocenzi, Cinzia 05 Jul '11

05 Jul '11

Hello, we have dovecot 2.0.13 installed in our RHEL5 servers. We use dovecot as a lmtp proxy on the front end mail relays and dovecot for back end lmtp/pop/imap. All our servers have RHEL5.6 64-bit and dovecot 2.0.13 installed, and the back end has also an ext3 mbox file-system mounted. Sometimes we have mails that get stuck on our postfix queue with the following error: Remote server not answering (timeout in DATA input) (in reply to end of DATA command) In our logs we only see the fact that the connection times out after 1 minute and gets disconnected: Jun 22 11:56:53 back-end dovecot: lmtp(3256): Connect from a.b.c.d Jun 22 11:57:53 back-end dovecot: lmtp(3256): Disconnect from a.b.c.d: Connection closed Jun 22 11:56:53 front-end dovecot: lmtp(16397): Connect from a.b.c.d Jun 22 11:57:53 front-end dovecot: lmtp(16397): Disconnect from a.b.c.d: Disconnected for inactivity We've tried to recalculate the mbox quota using "doveadm quota recalc -n ..." command and flushed our mail queue, but the mail still gets stuck on the postfix queue with the same error. It doesn't happen for every single mail, it's random. I'm attaching the output of dovecot -n for both servers. Can you please help us?

[Dovecot] imap idle and concurrent connections
by Wolfgang Rosenauer 05 Jul '11

05 Jul '11

Hi, in my testing dovecot (1.2 in that case) seems to not notify all idling clients about new "recent" mails but only one of them. The others get usually a message about the new number of mails after some time but never recent ones. Only one client gets notified about a new mail. Is that a known issue or something which might be configuration specific? Wolfgang

How to code a Dovecot Storage backend it where I might have to start. Really I don't care if the servers are ever fully consistent other than the fact they both contain the same emails. Of course read status shared would be nice. If that status information is out so be it. "eventually consistent" is a deadly thing to try to aim for. Its a simple fact of what needs to be backed up. If a user is at one physical location all the time and connecting to the same server all the time they will not ever see that the 2 servers are not 100 percent synced. For my usage cases lot of times 100 percent synced will be more wasted effort. Roughly synced will be more than suitable. Of course what I am talking about can be used as an foundation to get data from point a to point b. > > Your replication engine can now work in conjunction with Dovecot to sync > changes between servers as quickly as possible, eg if desired implement > a two phase commit when the LDA delivers new emails, so that all storage > servers confirm they have received the new email.

My sync's due to issues maybe chaos. So both servers may have been running split from each other both received emails the other has not had users accessing them. Both with users in using the web and local email clients. While all that is going on the servers have to sync. This is very much the worst case. I am sane. I am prepared to give up the users ability to change client programs between servers to make it be able to work. So IMAP unique identifies not be replicated ever. Basically any identifier that cannot be based of a server id + a unique number for server be only unique to the server its on. Basically I cannot ensure quickly and most of the time I don't really need that. As long as the email without breakage is not lost in the server for greater than 15 min without reaching person wanting to read it that would be fine for normal operations. This is still faster than exchange working with pop email accounts. Basically Ed W. I am saying this is the worst I can get away with in a working office. I have gone through the protocals I would most likely ever need to use from a business point of view. pop3 I know basically does not really give a stuff if what is hiding behind is multi master or single master. User might receive a few extra emails if they change between servers. Nothing system killing. As long as the user gets the emails in the end that is the important bit if they a copy for each server bad luck at least they got the email. Too many copies is not a issue from business point of view not getting the copy in the first place is an issue. smtp messages directly from multi locations outgoing does not give a stuff. imap4 who ever invented this protocol for what I want todo I fell like strangling. The id system completely sends you to hell. Business point of view this might be a issue if uses change between servers due to having to download everything again. activesync/Z-push Ok nice. ID are 64 char in size with no defined contents. No ascending order no trouble basically. So nothing stopping me doing server_id:then unique number. So that is most mobile devices covered. Message might disappear when moving between not totally synced servers. Message will catch up as syncs do. So from business usage annoying but issue is not long lasting. Ie custom backend on Z-push and mobile devices will work mostly fine with chaos between the storage servers. MAPI is 64 chars to 512 chars. for ID's. Again nothing in protocol stopping server_id:then unique number. Web applications much of a muchness. Since either they will connect to the same server as the http server at each location so be protected or can be hooked onto a new protocol to know they are connecting to a multi server back end and detect if there are issues going on. Mostly as bad as activesync if you change between hosting locations email syncs might not have caught up with you so a message might disappear temp. So only imap4 is requiring syncing so ids are in order. Question does everyone need imap4 server locations to be interchangeable. I know I don't. Since most people out the office either use web mail or activesync. Only in office will be using imap4. Now I cannot see any fast sane way for imap4 for other than make it id only unique to each server and maybe create like imap 5 for multi server with the option to run locally as a imap5 to imap4 converter. Reason you ask server when it synced with X server and you find out that is older than the copies you have you don't replace. So the client is hiding server to server sync issues. Sometimes the best solution is look at everything and see what is limiting you and deprecate it. If we don't need id aligned we don't need real-time connection. We don't need as reliable of an network. So failures are less. I guess everyone who has tried to sync has attempted to battle the imap protocal. I am mostly the first strange person who has said stuff syncing imap and just go straight past its defect and make the storage work. Simple fault in imap design make the complete back end replication a pain in but when it should be so simple. I have decided of someone else wants imap to be synced let that be their problem. Simple each location stores what they receive. and forwards to all other locations as those locations come on line and the other locations do the reverse. I like the idea of natural event syncing. That the items pure naturally sync with each other. No reprocessing to force syncing due to least amount conflicting data created. Possible for pop MAPI and activesync/Z-push todo natural syncing. IMAP the evil thing just does not want to play ball with natural syncing and it wants to set up events of conflicting data. IMAP might force a real-time synced server in some cases. A master server handing out IMAP id numbers for new messages is one possibility so removing the need change id's on the mail after it is stored. If my web interfaces are using something other than IMAP I could possibly say use webmail until fixed. Worst issues I can see is message read status and other times like that. Where user might have marked a message unread at X on one server and at Y time marked it back read on a different server. But these are more niggles. Better to have the users annoyed by minor niggles and working than unable to work because its broken. Dependable replications the more parts you use the more areas you have for failure. So far my research on what is possible seams to be coming out to reasonable. Hopefully once I have this idea fully ironed out I can start getting into code. I rarely code. But this is a true case I have a problem so I have motivation. Peter Dolding

[Dovecot] Exim and Dovecot2 SASL: 435 Unable to authenticate at present
by Sergey Urushkin 04 Jul '11

04 Jul '11

Hi. I had working Exim 4.71 and Dovecot 1.2.9 SASL configuration on Ubuntu Lucid, but needed some features from dovecot2, so I installed 2.0.13 from https://launchpad.net/~carsten-uppenbrink-net/+archive/dovecot2 . Now I get Subj error while trying to authenticate via dovecot auth-client socket. However IMAP auth works fine with 2.0.13 and smtp auth worked fine until upgrade, so I think there is something wrong with dovecot2. Dovecot logs stay empty even with auth_debug*, just one string "auth: Debug: Loading modules from bla...". But here is another information that may help. And if it's needed I can build dovecot myself to ensure that ppa-build isn't guilty. Or debug some another way. Thanks. dovecot -n: # 2.0.13: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-31-server x86_64 Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS auth_debug = yes auth_debug_passwords = yes auth_mechanisms = plain login apop

[Dovecot] Replication problem I have. And how I think I can get around problem.
by Peter Dolding 04 Jul '11

04 Jul '11

I have two servers in two different locations. Neither what you would call 100 percent safe from being turned off. Most staff use web based email. This backs onto imap server. I do know I will have to deal with contact lists and other items. in that client. Worst part is the link between them may get broken so both servers may be receiving email and back active at the same time. I can see 1 very clear way around this problem. If I accept that the imap ids at each of the server will be that server only. Since users are mostly using webbased they are not going to notice. If they do notice because they have connected to a different domain address stiff bad luck. Now what I need to be able to deal with the problem. 1 a unique server id on each message for the server the message was received on. 1 a unique server receive id for each message as imap like id for service recieved messages for message received directly not synced. 1 logs for messages deleted and changes that are not current server server id. This should be pritty simple todo. Basically 1 log per server flushed when synced with the server it owns to. 1 a sync function that deletes and changes messages that have been deleted or changed at other locations and compares other servers current messages against copies retained at the mirroring location. Now with this. Each new message to each store gets the next imap id along with system wide unique combination of sever id and service receive id. No modifications of already recieved messages ids. Since I am not careing if the imap id are matched between servers. Fairly much able to use a custom for of imap syncing working off the server id's and server receive ids. Of course this solution should be fairly fault torrent. Since each server can directly store any message they receive. Also it should be possible to trace back to what server the message came from in case of spam problems or equal. Now my biggest problem can I attach my own custom attributes to incoming mail to the store and access that information effectively. Since with that information I will be able to do a form of live synced storage. Personally I see imap id design as a defect in protocal since it never allowed server id along with it this is why imap 100 percent synced message stores cannot be run on independent servers with unstable network connects well. Nothing comes without a price. This solution does not require clustered file systems or a constant active connection between servers so able to operate in areas of disruption. It does not block the servers from receiving emails at any time either. Problem is of course is if someone connects a client directly from 1 server to another. Mail will have to be re-downloaded. Also I have to check of z-push/ActiveSync depends on the imap ids being dependable across the network if not most hand held devices will not be a problem. If it don't then only imap has a problem. I can live with that. Ie if local email server down use web mail until local mail server is fixed. Old rule of networking 40 to 50 percent functional network staff can normally still get stuff done. 0 percent functional you have downtime. Now if I can get the email storage fault torrent and to remain operational in case of fault I then can focus on getting the web base applications using a equal system for contacts and other things. So each location can remain fairly operational no matter what. This way if a server disappeared for good only thing that would have to be changed is syncing. Wise move is to allow servers to be defined more than 1 server id. Ie a server gone for good remaining server gets told to take over responsibility for the old servers id messages. New replacement server given a new id and everything keeps on going nice. Anyone else with a better idea or advice how to add my own custom ids in a way they cannot be distrupted and are simple to search. If it works push for server id's in imap5? Ie imap5 clients being able to cope with the event that an email store is spreed between multi servers that may not be connected all the time. Peter Dolding

The problem I have is that whenever I try to connect I get the error: Jul 1 11:41:41 myotis40 dovecot: pop3-login: Error: auth: connect(director) failed: No such file or directory This is my doveconf -n: # 2.0.13: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-4-amd64 x86_64 Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS auth_cache_size = 1 k auth_debug = yes auth_verbose = yes default_process_limit = 256 director_mail_servers = 155.54.211.161 155.54.211.169 director_servers = 155.54.211.170 disable_plaintext_auth = no dotlock_use_excl = no hostname = myotis30 log_timestamp = %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S mail_debug = yes mail_fsync = always mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir:INDEX=/var/indexes/%n mail_nfs_storage = yes mail_privileged_group = mail maildir_stat_dirs = yes mdbox_rotate_size = 20 M namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = separator = / } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext driver = ldap } plugin { sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve zlib_save = gz zlib_save_level = 6 } postmaster_address = postmaster(a)um.es protocols = " pop3" service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { mode = 0666 } } service imap-login { executable = imap-login director } service lmtp { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { group = postfix user = postfix } } service pop3-login { executable = pop3-login director } ssl = no ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = prefetch } userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext driver = ldap } protocol lda { mail_plugins = " sieve" } -- Angel L.
