[Dovecot] Not receiving Local Mails
by Alexander 10 Dec '09

10 Dec '09

Hi, I have already set up DOVECOT + POSTFIX mail server and I can send and receive mails outside my Domain. The problem however is that LOCAL Mail is not working. When I send LOCAL mails, it leaves my system without error messages but it is not received by the recipient. How do I make LOCAL mails work? Regards Alexander

[Dovecot] SASL plain authentication failed; unable to lookup user record
by JP 10 Dec '09

10 Dec '09

i'll guess the solution to my problem will be something simple and obvious, because i know i ain't the first person to do this and it ain't all that complicated, but i've been staring at it for days and can't see what's wrong. new installation; os x snow leopard server; postfix 2.5.5; dovecot 1.1.17apple0.5 i'm trying to get SMTP auth working via SASL. using a plain password scheme and plain auth scheme over SSL. client is apple mail. deliveries are working, and dovecot's pop3s and imaps are working just fine. my configuration is the same simple config that is well documented on both the postfix and dovecot sites. when i attempt to use smtp auth from a mail client, postfix says SASL plain authentication failed unable to lookup user record smtp authentication also fails if i use the usual command line method: # telnet localhost 25 Escape character is '^]'. 220 osx-106.example.com ESMTP Postfix EHLO foobie.example.com 250-osx-106.example.com 250-PIPELINING 250-SIZE 10485760 250-VRFY 250-ETRN 250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN CRAM-MD5 250-STARTTLS 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES 250-8BITMIME 250 DSN AUTH PLAIN blah blah blah 535 Error: authentication failed i've scoured months worth of postfix and dovecot list archives and although there are many sasl related issues i didn't see anything specific to this. as expected, the socket is srw-rw---- 1 _postfix _postfix 0 Dec 4 08:51 /var/spool/postfix/private/auth lsof shows the socket is open by dovecot-auth (which is running as root): dovecot-a 63614 root 5u unix 0x0888b990 0t0 /var/spool/postfix/private/auth i have not seen the socket opened by postfix, but i'm assuming that is a transient event and would be difficult to capture (at least with lsof). so both postfix and dovecot have read/write access to the socket. the credentials sent are the same whether they're sent via a true pop3 client or via the command line. when sent via the command line, they're generated via perl -MMIME::Base64 -e 'print encode_base64("\0username\0password");'and i've verified they're correct via decode_base64 config stuff: # postconf -n biff = no command_directory = /usr/sbin config_directory = /etc/postfix content_filter = smtp-amavis:[127.0.0.1]:10024 daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix debug_peer_level = 2 enable_server_options = yes header_checks = pcre:/etc/postfix/custom_header_checks html_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix/html inet_interfaces = all mail_owner = _postfix mailbox_size_limit = 0 mailbox_transport = dovecot mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq manpage_directory = /usr/share/man message_size_limit = 10485760 mydomain = example.com mydomain_fallback = localhost mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8,192.168.61.0/24 newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases queue_directory = /private/var/spool/postfix readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix recipient_delimiter = + relayhost = sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix/examples sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail setgid_group = _postdrop smtpd_client_restrictions = permit_mynetworks permit_sasl_authenticated reject smtpd_enforce_tls = no smtpd_helo_required = yes smtpd_helo_restrictions = reject_invalid_helo_hostname reject_non_fqdn_helo_hostname smtpd_pw_server_security_options = plain, login cram-md5 smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated permit_mynetworks reject_unauth_destination check_policy_service unix:private/policy reject smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot smtpd_tls_CAfile = /etc/certificates/osx-106.example.com.E2FA6EFB8203E2E09C605D30A179669E4B4F69EB.chain.pem smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/certificates/osx-106.example.com.E2FA6EFB8203E2E09C605D30A179669E4B4F69EB.cert.pem smtpd_tls_exclude_ciphers = SSLv2, aNULL, ADH, eNULL smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/certificates/osx-106.example.com.E2FA6EFB8203E2E09C605D30A179669E4B4F69EB.key.pem smtpd_use_pw_server = yes smtpd_use_tls = yes unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550 virtual_alias_maps = virtual_gid_maps = static:5000 virtual_mailbox_base = /etc/postfix/datastore virtual_mailbox_domains = osx.example.com virtual_mailbox_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/datausers virtual_minimum_uid = 100 virtual_uid_maps = static:5000 # dovecotd -n # 1.1.17apple0.5: /private/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf Warning: fd limit 256 is lower than what Dovecot can use under full load (more than 456).

[Dovecot] Cannot read mdir inbox.
by Marc Dufour 10 Dec '09

10 Dec '09

Problem: Dovecot is totally and merrily oblivious to maildir INBOX installed in the usual /var/spool/mail/%u Software/system: Dovecot 1.2.8 running under Fedora 12 with 1.9 gig RAM + AMD Athlon LE-1640 CPU on a ASUS M3A78-EM motherboard (uname -a = Linux 2.6.31.6-162.fc12.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Dec 4 00:06:26 EST 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux ) Dovecot has been installed from the Fedora repositories, not recompiled from scratch. System has only one hard disk and is on one ext4 LVM partition. My configurations are http://emdx.org/Dovecot/dovecot.confA.txt for "dovecot -a" http://emdx.org/Dovecot/dovecot.confN.txt for "dovecot -n" The mail is properly delivered by Exim in the proper place. Using a client (Thunderbird 3), if I copy some messages in the INBOX, they stay there, but they are nowhere to be found in the /var/spool/mail/%u directory. User mail is in ~/Maildir. I tried to make a symlink pointing to /var/spool/mail/%u and, of course, it does not work. I also tried giving chmod 666 to all files in /var/spool/mail/%u (and chmod 777 for the directories), this makes no difference. Otherwise, Dovecot works flawlessly and without no problems whatsoever in ~/Maildir. I can transfer huge volumes of email from the future old server and everything is rock solid. I just can’t get the INBOX. I would rather not fiddle with Exim and have it deliver the mail into ~/Maildir Google has been stellarly inefficient in helping me find solutions.

[Dovecot] Virtual mailboxes not always up to date?
by Patrick Nagel 10 Dec '09

10 Dec '09

Hi, I have been experimenting with the Virtual mailboxes plugin [1] recently. This is my setup: the following dovecot-virtual file exists in a virtual mailbox called "todo": ------ dovecot-virtual ------ * -Trash -Trash/* -Spam -Spam/* OR KEYWORD $TODO KEYWORD todo ----------------------------- so if any mail in any mailbox except Trash+Spam has the keyword "$TODO" (that's what KMail sets when you mark a message as "action item") or "todo" (that's what Thunderbird sets when you put the Todo tag on a message), it should be shown in that 'todo' virtual mailbox. This works for the first time after I edit the dovecot-virtual file and then access the virtual mailbox (all mails I expect to be shown in the todo mailbox are there) - but further accesses always show the same content, even though I removed the keyword from one of the mails (and I can confirm that the keyword has actually been removed by dovecot, since the filename doesn't contain the letter corresponding to the keyword anymore). It seems that changing the dovecot-virtual file triggers the execution of the "search program" - but shouldn't simply accessing the virtual mailbox also trigger it? Or is there a (undocumented?) timeout between search program executions? Patrick.

[Dovecot] Patch: event port-based ioloop and notify
by Emanuele Pucciarelli 10 Dec '09

10 Dec '09

Greetings, thanks to all of you who work on Dovecot! I have prepared a small patch to support Solaris 10 and Opensolaris' event port mechanism for both the ioloop and the notify subsystems. It seems to work fine for me, but I haven't conducted any extensive testing. It would be great if someone could review and/or test it (and if it could eventually enter the code base). I have uploaded a copy at http://cr.opensolaris.org/~e.p/dovecot/dovecot-01-fen.diff . Thanks! -- Emanuele

[Dovecot] Mail.app + dovecot 1.2 + POP3
by Rodolfo Gonzalez Gonzalez 10 Dec '09

10 Dec '09

Hello all, I have an user with MacOS X 10.5 Mail.app 3.5, which is connecting using POP3 to a dovecot 1.2 server. He has a 512 kbps link, which he saturates downloading large files. While the bandwidth is saturated, Mail.app shows the POP3 account as "offline" (I haven't used that client, but it seems that it doesn't retry the connection if it fails at some moment). He argues that he has some other POP3 and IMAP4 accounts configured in the same app, and those accounts never go "offline" even if the bw usage is at 100% (those other accounts are not on my servers and I don't know which sw are they using). My question is, could dovecot be somehow involved in this "offline" issue? (something like the past IDLE issues with Outlook 2007?) Thanks in advanced.

by Richard Stockton 09 Dec '09

09 Dec '09

Hi Timo, Okay, I'm confused now... Here is what we are using with 1.1.19: password_query = SELECT password, home as userdb_home, 5000 as userdb_uid, 5000 as userdb_gid FROM mailbox where userid = '%n' mail_location = maildir:/mail/%h:INDEX=MEMORY The "/mail/" dir contains 26 NFS mounted partitions. Will this still work in 1.2? I have been holding off upgrading because it sounded like I would have to add the "/mail/" prefix to all the "home" directories in my user DB, and with 5 instances of Dovecot running off the same DB, I would have to shut down the pop/imap servers for the upgrade, something that would NOT make my boss happy. However, if I can leave the configs and the database as they are, the update will not be a big problem. Please let me know if I can use the old configs with Dovecot 1.2.x, I would love to be using the latest and greatest. And BTW, thanks again for all your hard work, Dovecot is a wonderful piece of software, and we really appreciate it! - Richard

[Dovecot] v2.0.alpha3 released
by Timo Sirainen 09 Dec '09

09 Dec '09

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/alpha/dovecot-2.0.alpha3.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/alpha/dovecot-2.0.alpha3.tar.gz.sig Nothing horribly exciting since alpha2, but since I did other releases I thought I might as well release this one too. - Most of the stuff in master.conf is now built into binaries so the file itself is small. dovecot -n also doesn't show the defaults anymore. - Settings now have size and time types. So instead of always wondering if the units are bytes or kilobytes or megabytes, you can just use e.g. 100k, 100M values. And the same for 100 secs, 100 mins, 100 hours, etc. - verbose_proctitle=yes was pretty useless in alpha2 after the pre/post-login changes. I've now enabled Linux proctitle hack that allows changing process title (in ps). It now shows e.g. the current command being executed by imap process. There is also some hope of getting a proper setproctitle() function to Linux, the patch just got to -mm code tree today! - anvil process now stays alive across SIGHUPs. So "doveadm who" no longer forgets users after SIGHUP. - remote_ip IP {} and local_ip IP {} changed to remote host|IP {} and local host|IP {}, i.e. if it's not an IP Dovecot does host name lookup. - Using host names is also important to get TLS SNI working. With TLS SNI support if client supports it, you can serve multiple certificates with a single IP address. - LMTP server adds now Received: header - Fixes to LMTP server - Fixes to dsync Some of the larger changes left: - plugin API probably needs to be changed, so that it's possible to handle multiple users by same process but with different plugins - config process is too slow - rawlog no longer works because of how pre/post-login works now. it probably needs to be changed into a service and configured something like: service imap-rawlog { executable = rawlog imap-real /home/%u unix_listener imap { } } service imap { unix_listener imap-real { } } The point would be that when imap-login connects to imap, it actually connects to rawlog which then connects to imap-real and starts proxying the connection. A few problems: 1) userdb lookup is done by imap process, so rawlog doesn't know user's home directory. Perhaps more code could be added so that rawlog requests imap process to send it back, but maybe that's too much trouble. That's why I thought just adding a 3rd /home/%u parameter, where rawlog expands %u to username since that's at least known. 2) Currently it's not possible to remove default internal unix_listeners, so the above config wouldn't actually work anyway. I guess there needs to be some new syntax like "!unix_listener imap" or something that removes it.. Then again, a nice thing about this is that the rawlog will work with all types of services, even imap-logins, although that's going to be almost useless for SSL connections.

[Dovecot] How do i translate the old default_mail_env setting?
by Gary Kline 09 Dec '09

09 Dec '09

Hi, First, I am new to dovecot. Before my Jan '08 meltdown, sendmail was sufficient. A friend set up dovecot and since things just-worked, I was happy with that. Now I have a new mailserver and what was installed nearly two years ago fails. My pal installed things in dovecot.conf this way: default_mail_env = maildir:~/Maildir but the new mail environment is too different to be readily understood. --At least for me!-- The "%u" variable is confusing; so in the "%h" ($HOME [?]) variable... Would the following edit work on my old conf file: mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir ? tia, gary kline -- Gary Kline kline(a)thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix http://jottings.thought.org http://transfinite.thought.org The 7.31a release of Jottings: http://jottings.thought.org/index.php

I debugged and realized that patched plugin generates - for search "xxx yyy": q=body:"XXX YYY*" It should be: q=body:XXX* +body:YYY* (not q=body:"XXX*" +body:"YYY*" - quotation does matter) But this does not work as expected. Prefix searches (with asterisk) are case-sensitive. I googled around and found this post - http://michaelkimsal.com/blog/solr-case-sensitivty/comment-page-1/#comment-… . It is old - 2007, but it looks SOLR is still case-sensitive for *. Because of dovecot capitalizes query (and this is right, I think), the search will never find a thing. I played with Solr admin for 3 evenings and I have to say - its behaviour is strange. For example, if I send several emails with body of 2 words: "xxx yyy", "yyy xxx", "xxX yYY" etc. - different case and different word order - it does not find "xxx" in all emails. Maybe Solr 1.4 is not production-ready yet and 1.3 is better. But it is enough for me, maybe I will return to it in next year. Now I will try to apply your changeset (fts-squat: Fixed searching multi-byte characters) to dovecot 1.2.4 (debian stable). If you think 1.2.8 is better, I will follow your recommendation.

[Dovecot] LDA: handling non-existent mail dirs
by Edgar Fuß 09 Dec '09

09 Dec '09

We have users existing in LDAP but not supposed to receive mail. We used to handle that (somewhat ungracefully) by simply not creating the top mail directory for those accounts. Since switching to Dovecots LDA, these non-existing dirs are considered temporary failures and so the junk mails pile up in postfix' queue Would it be possible for deliver to optionally treat this as a permanent error? I know the clean solution woud be checking for an LDAP attribute in postfix before even accepting the mail.

[Dovecot] dovecot v 1.28 and virtual folders
by Jim Richard 09 Dec '09

09 Dec '09

I haven't been able to make this work. I've experimented with different settings in my dovecot.conf for hours. I have a simple single user ubuntu setup, nothing fancy and would just like to have a virtual "unread" folder of my main INBOX, for use with Squirrelmail So, with just this, all good... subfolders look like .INBOX.duplicates for example in the file system namespace private { separator = . location = maildir:~/Maildir inbox = yes } now, when I try to add a virtual namespace namespace private { subscriptions = yes list = yes inbox = no prefix = virtual. separator = . location = virtual:~/Maildir/virtual } ~/Maildir/virtual does exist in the filesystem, I can "subscribe" to virtual but if I try to create a sub folder of it I get ERROR: Could not complete request. Query: CREATE "virtual.test" Reason Given: [CANNOT] Can't create virtual mailboxes Squirrelmail is great because it has some nice IMAP testing tools, so for example, with my current dovecot config I can test the NAMESPACE command, is that the correct response? Request: A003 NAMESPACE Response: * NAMESPACE (("" ".")("virtual." ".")) NIL NIL Namespace completed. I'm sure the issue is a fundamental lack of understanding of a concept here ... Any help would be appreciated. thank you, -Jim

[Dovecot] mailboxcasecmp()
by Frank Cusack 09 Dec '09

09 Dec '09

I remember way back, i'd modified the dspam training plugin to compare mailbox names case-insensitively. that patch wasn't accepted. i didn't understand why since it was obviously correct and had no negative impact, at least i didn't think so. Now I've hit another case where case-insensitive mailbox names would be useful: +addressing. If I have a mailbox 'Ext' and I send mail to frank+Ext@, the LHS is lowercased to 'frank+ext' and the +extension delivery doesn't find the 'Ext' mailbox. If the +extension is going to be lowercased, then the mailbox names should be lowercased when looking for them. Or, since 'ext' and 'Ext' can co-exist, the +extension shouldn't be lowercased when looking for the mailbox. I prefer the former (lowercase everything), since it's unlikely a user would create both 'mailbox' and 'Mailbox', however I can envision plenty of times where users would try to use '+ext' yet create the '+Ext" mailbox and never be able to figure out why it doesn't work. I know the latter solution (case sensitive extensions and case sensitive mailboxes) is more correct but really it will be harder to debug user problems. -frank

[Dovecot] different views of a imap account
by Ajaxster 09 Dec '09

09 Dec '09

Hi, I've looked around a few times to see if I could figure the answer to this question but I think I may not know the right question to ask... The scenario I have is that I'm running dovecot, exim and procmail on one server (using maildir storage) and also have apache on another server. I can run squirrel mail, roundcube, etc. all on the web server and access all my email just fine. I can run outlook or thunderbird or other imap clients just fine too. I have some smart phones that support imap mail servers, but when I set them up to connect to my server, the client seems to have to sync up data on all the mailboxes (lots of headers to download). All I really want on my remote (phone based) imap clients is to view my inbox. I believe that the subscriptions are done globally in that every client sees the same subscriptions, so that doesn't seem like the way to narrow down what my phone imap clients see. Does what I'd like to do make sense? Is there a way to configure dovecot to support this? Could I just run two servers on the same machine at different ports to support this? I'd love to hear about how others have approached this or similar problems. I've seen a lite email client that can be run on an apache server that wap browsers can access to view mail. That works okay, but with phones having built in imap clients, that seems like a more streamlined way to go ;-) Thanks for you thoughts! -- Jay

[Dovecot] rquota in dovecot-1.2.8-0_103.el5.x86_64.rpm
by David Warden 09 Dec '09

09 Dec '09

Is rquota purposefully not present in the RPM at http://atrpms.net/dist/el5/dovecot/dovecot-1.2.8-0_103.el5.x86_64.rpm.html ? On a test machine I decided to give dovecot 1.2 a go with that RPM and everything went great except I was getting the following error in the dovecot log (and quota was not working): Dec 9 10:50:43 webmailtest2 dovecot: IMAP(auser) rip=127.0.0.1: quotactl(Q_GETQUOTA, nfsserver.geneseo.edu:/vol/email/users) failed: No such file or directory I had seen some messages on the mailing list talking about making sure you build with HAVE_RQUOTA defined at compile time. I wasn't able to determine if the RPM on the aforementioned page was simply missing the rquota code, but upon building the SRPM from the same place (http://atrpms.net/dist/el5/dovecot/, SRPM itself is http://dl.atrpms.net/all/dovecot-1.2.8-0_103.src.rpm) I saw HAVE_RQUOTA fly by and the rquota source files get built and linked, and when using those binaries rquota started working. I scanned the changelog for the binary RPM for something indicating that rquota support had been taken out but didn't see anything. Apologies if this is better sent to the package maintainer; I'm hoping he checks this list or someone has already run into this and can set me (and anyone else who may run in to this problem) straight. -David Warden

[Dovecot] Different Formats Per User?

For migration possibilities, we're considering whether it's possible to have Dovecot run some users using standard Maildir format, while other users would be using filesystem (LAYOUT=fs) format? We could determine which one's users have, but is there a way to tell Dovecot this information, and is it even part of the Dovecot design to deal with this scenario? Thanks, Tony

[Dovecot] permission issue when moving / copying a message
by Jean-Christophe Baptiste 08 Dec '09

08 Dec '09

Hi all, I am having an issue with permission that may be a bug. The issue happens when moving / copying a message from a folder to another : sometimes the message gets the wrong permission (umask). The typical use case is, inside a maildir box and within imap, moving a spam message to the spam folder. Then a cron script is supposed to access to it to feed the antispam database. I wish the message file to be created with umask 0002 but sometimes it creates it with 0022. There is an example in my maildir : # ls -la /home/vmail/domain.com/contact/.spam/cur total 84 drwxrwx--- 2 vmail vmail 4096 déc. 7 23:19 . drwxrwx--- 5 vmail vmail 4096 déc. 7 23:19 .. -rw------- 2 vmail vmail 1303 déc. 7 14:37 1260211373.M462708P12977.genki:2,S -rw-rw---- 2 vmail vmail 73090 juin 8 14:57 1260224357.M884229P14370.genki:2,S As you can see, one file is OK and the other one not. Parents directories have the correct permissions, which should be pushed to the children (according to the doc). With my current configuration, it is something I can reproduce it often but I could not find what exactly triggers it. Thank you in advance for looking at this case and for your help, Regards, -- Jean-Christophe Baptiste <jc(a)phocean.net>

[Dovecot] Mbox corruption
by Erinn Looney-Triggs 07 Dec '09

07 Dec '09

I am trying to track down an mbox corruption issue that has been happening for one of our users. It appears that the mbox file is getting truncated and the all important From line no longer exists which then leads to the mbox being useless. It also appears, as in most truncations, that parts of the mbox are being lost. I am not sure how to debug this to find out whether this is a client or server issue and any pointers would be appreciated. Here are the facts as I have them: Server: RHEL5 x64/ Dovecot 1.2.8 Client: Win/ Thunderbird 2.0.0.23 This appears to only be happening for one user out of several hundred across 30 or so Dovecot servers, so I am leaning towards this being a client issue, but I don't know a great deal about the low level working of IMAP to debug. For example, I assume that the client issues a request to the server on the order of delete message 34 and the server then overwrites the mbox file (this then would point to it being a server issue)? The corruption occurs in a random assortment of this users files, so sometimes the inbox, others the Trash or one of many other folders this user has. The user also reports that before the corruption occurs duplicates of e-mail will start to appear in folders, even folders that have been unused for a long period of time. Oh I suppose I should also mention that this is about the third or fourth time this has happened to this user and it seems to happen about every 2-3 weeks. Does any of this sound familiar to anyone? Any suggestions as to how to root this out? Thanks, -Erinn

They are all running version 1.2.8 and are all configured identically minus compile differences for RHEL4 or 5 and x86 vs. x86_64. So the user is always accessing the same server. It is extremely odd that this issue is happening only to this one user on this one system which still make me lean toward it being a client issue but I am unsure of how to determine that. -Erinn

Hi, This topic has been discussed before e.g: <QUOTE> On 2008-08-07, at 1143, Kacper Wysocki wrote: The problem is that the configuration file specifies only one certificate file for dovecot, which means only one Common Name, which means one cannot provide one server cert that will match mail.foo.com AND mail.bar.com, and either ma...(a)foo.com or bo...(a)bar.com will get a "Security Error: Domain Name Mismatch" in their mail client when connecting through IMAPS. </QUOTE> I bring it up again because I've just been trying the release candidate for Thunderbird 3. This has a config wizard which derives from ones email address the mail server address etc. It doesn't handle SSL virtual mail servers very well because of this problem. I have encountered a web server called Cherokee (http://www.cherokee-project.com) which has virtual server capability that *demands* a different certificate for each virtual server. How can that be I thought? This is what Cherokee documentation says: <QUOTE> SSL Virtual Hosts You might have been told elsewhere that named virtual hosts in SSL cannot be supported without SNI (Server Name Indication) because a web server cannot see the hostname header when the SSL request is being processed. Technically this might have been correct in the past. The first thing that the server has to do is to connect with the other end by using SSL/TLS. The user entered host part of the URI must match the Common Name (CN) provided by the certificate. Since virtual hosts are in use, the CN of the first available certificate may or may not match the one specified in the early stages of TLS negotiation. Cherokee supports the clean and standard method of dealing with this issue called Server Name Indication (SNI) that sends the name of the virtual host during the TLS negotiation. If SNI is supported by your SSL/TLS library, the SSL layer does not need to be restarted. Since the host info can be put in the SSL handshake, things will simply work as long as there is a web browser with SNI support at the other side. Currently every modern web browser supports this, and Cherokee has TLS SNI support for the OpenSSL backends. Note that for SNI to work, client support is required. Web browsers known to support it are Mozilla Firefox 2.0+, Opera 8.0+, Internet Explorer 7 (Vista, not XP) or later and Google Chrome. </QUOTE> If Cherokee can do it why not dovecot? Is this something that is, or could be, being considered? It does assume that TB3 and other mail clients support SNI but whatever, I suspect that once TB3 is released the subject will pop-up more frequently. I'm curious to know the latest thinking. Dick

[Dovecot] Manual files moving and index files
by Kārlis Repsons 04 Dec '09

04 Dec '09

Hello all! My first question about dovecot turns out to be: what if I have something outside of dovecot, which sometimes moves messages out of a mail folder and other times into it? Does that make any problem for dovecot or indexing?

[Dovecot] dovecot-shared Problem
by Darius Bohni 03 Dec '09

03 Dec '09

Hi, first, sorry for my english, i hope u understand me :-/ I try to set up dovecot with imap and maildir. I run into a permission problem. I need to have read and execute rights of all folders and mails for the group (needed by the backup deamon). first I tried with umask, but this only affect folders and no mails. Then I read about dovecot-shared and tried this. Permissions are now ok but and this is a big but., I have troubles with thunderbird. I copied a folder from an pop3 account to the imap account (Inbox->subfolder). Now all mails are unread. OK i mark all as read. Now I move a message to the inbox and back to the subfolder an wonder, the mail is now marked as unreaded again. When i set up the mailboxes without the dovecot-shared file, the behaviour above is gone!! But my permission problem is back :-( Permissions of dovecot-shared is 750 and the mainfolder is 750 with g+s can anybody help me? thank u alot grz. fr3ak4l

[Dovecot] Excluding ALT maildir from showing in main INBOX
by Tomasz Przewlucki 03 Dec '09

03 Dec '09

Hi, I've setup dovecot 1.2.7 with dbox mail storage and ALTernative (additional) mail directory + expire plugin and expire_altmove working properly. grep from .conf: ( dbox:/var/spool/mail/%n/MAIL:INDEX=/var/spool/mail/%n/INDEX:ALT=/var/spool/mailarchive/%n/MAIL ) What i would need now is excluding all folders and messages from "ALT" maildir from default view (so they will not show in INBOX and other standard folders. I would like to create namespace or virtual folder and include those ALT maildirs as so called Archive (f.e. prefix). Is that (excluding ALT from default view) possible ? Best Regards, Tomasz Przewlucki

[Dovecot] Light "bug" in authtest, sockets path
by Andre 03 Dec '09

03 Dec '09

Hi to all! I’ve changed position to client auth socket to enable postfix authentication. The socket is now created in /var/spool/postfix/private/auth. authtest do not catch up the change. Reading source I’ve seen that path to auth sockets is written explicitly in function authtest_passdb in util/authtest.c to: if (auth_socket_path == NULL) auth_socket_path = PKG_RUNDIR"/auth-client”; I know I can launch authtest specifing path to socket, but I think it would be better if authtest would parse dovecot.conf and find out where sockets are. I’ve tried to code it by myself, but I’ve had no time to go deep in the code. Is it possible to have this “feature” added??? TIA Andrea

[Dovecot] busy / developers documentation
by Timo Sirainen 03 Dec '09

03 Dec '09

Just thought I'd mention that I probably won't be answering mails very actively this week while I'm in San Antonio (and I was kind of busy last week too). Hopefully I'll get back to answering/bugfixing next week.. I also started writing developers documentation to http://wiki.dovecot.org/Design. Comments welcome. Some things I had planned next: - istream internals - lib-storage API docs - ..?

[Dovecot] Vacation message with Sieve
by Rene Bakkum 02 Dec '09

02 Dec '09

Hello all, I am trying to get my vacation messages to work correctly. In general it works like how I want, and replies when a message is arived to for example info(a)domain.com, but I have some problems to get my vacation message to work on catch-all boxes. Is there an option to for example auto-reply on every mail that is sendto @domain.com? I am using Ubuntu 9.10 default packages, which are the following versions: dovecot -n # 1.1.11: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.31-14-server x86_64 Ubuntu 9.10 ext4 mail_plugins = cmusieve My example file of the vacation message I use is: require ["vacation"]; vacation # Reply at most once a day to a same sender :days [vacationmessage_delay_days] :subject "Autorespond: [vacationmessage_subject]" # List of recipient addresses which are included in the auto replying. # If a mail's recipient is not on this list, no vacation reply is sent for it. :addresses ["[username]@[domain]"] "[vacationmessage_message]"; I tried changing [username]@[domain] into @[domain] or *@[domain], but that is giving me errors. Anyone has any pointers how to achieve this (if its possible at all)... Regards, Rene

[Dovecot] Can't start dovecot from heartbeat
by John Gray 01 Dec '09

01 Dec '09

I get the following error: Fatal: epoll_create(): Too many open files (you may need to increase /proc/sys/fs/epoll/max_user_instances) Works fine if I start it by hand, I'm guessing it has to due with the environment heart starts it in? My first thought was to do exactly what the message suggests, but my kernel doesn't appear to define max_user_instances, but there is a max_user_watches. I'm running 1.2.8, by the way. But I had a similar problem with earlier version too. John

[Dovecot] Postfix issue but I want to fix it here...
by david＠davidwbrown.name 01 Dec '09

01 Dec '09

Hello, Dovecot bunch and Timo. I am using Sylpheed as my Dovecot/IMAP client. At home behind my LAN Sylpheed can send email because the Postfix SMTPd views my LAN as a trusted network. No such luck when I'm away from home. I know it has something to do with configuring the relay access elements but what I have tried so far does not work. I'm sure someone has had this simple issue previously. The error condition and other particulars follow: OS: CentOS, Windows XP SMTPd: Postfix 2.3.3 IMAP: Dovecot 1.2 Mail client: Sylpheed 2.7.1 Error condition: Error occurred while sending the message: 554 5.7.1 <messages-noreply(a)linkedin.com>: Relay access denied

[Dovecot] Dovecot SSL limitations
by Thomas Hummel 01 Dec '09

01 Dec '09

Hello Timo, I'd like to check if my understanding of dovecot-1.2.x's SSL certificate handling is correct : SSL does not provide the server any mechanism to choose which certificate it must send relatively to the name the client is using. Thus, if you want to use different certificates, you have to listen to different addresses. This is an SSL limitation, not a dovecot nor IMAP limitation. This is the reason why it's possible to use different certificates for IMAP and POP3. But it seems to work only with those two : As a matter of fact, even if you listen to different addresses, how would you tell dovecot to send this certificate for this address and that certificate for that address, since there is no IP dependent section (as in apache IP-based virtual host for instance) ? It seems the only way would be to have more than one instance of dovecot (several dovecot with different config files). The problem is that some clients may be configured with mail.my.domain, some others with imap.my.domain, ...etc... Hence the need to have different certificates with those different names as cn. -- Thomas Hummel | Institut Pasteur <hummel(a)pasteur.fr> | Pôle informatique - systèmes et réseau

Re: [Dovecot] Dovecot 1.2.x masteruser proxy problem
by Tom Mihalicek 30 Nov '09

30 Nov '09

The problem was in auth_bind=yes in dovecot-ldap.conf i didnt read thoroughly the http://wiki.dovecot.org/Authentication/MasterUsers?action=show&redirect=Mas… You should also add the pass=yes setting to the master passdb if possible. It means that Dovecot verifies that the login user really exists before allowing the master user to log in. Without the setting if a non-existing login username is given, depending on the configuration, it could either return an internal login error (the userdb lookup failed) or create a whole new user (with eg. static userdb). pass=yes doesn't work with PAM or LDAP with auth_bind=yes, because both of them require knowing the user's password.

[Dovecot] /var/run/dovecot mode 750 too tight
by Frank Cusack 30 Nov '09

dovecot-1.2.8 creates /var/run/dovecot mode 750. I run postfix+dovecot in a virtual user setup. Postfix calls deliver as user vmail group vmail. Nov 29 12:53:04 imap.invalid dovecot: [ID 583609 mail.error] deliver(frank): userdb lookup: connect(/var/run/dovecot/auth-master) failed: Permission denied (euid=500(vmail) egid=500(vmail) missing +x perm: /var/run/dovecot) I will say this: dovecot's error reporting in general is head and shoulders above the norm. Makes tracking down problems sooo much easier. Something else I noticed, should the dict-server socket really be mode 777? At least a-x I would think. -frank

[Dovecot] Everytime I start my mail client it downloads all message again!
by BeKi 28 Nov '09

28 Nov '09

Hello, I use Xdove 1.2 on my ts-409 together with IMAP/dovecot. I like to see the same folder structure on my different workstation (private/work ...). I move the mails into the folder structure I created. That works fine. But since I use Xdove with IMAP I have the problem that my mailclient loads all mails I already stored in different folders again into the INBOX (some mails also multiple with subfolders). These mails are duplicates (or multiples) because I delete them all. The mails in my folders are still there. Up to now I tried different mail clients. Thunderbird 2.x/3.x, Pegasus 4.5, Outlook Express. All behave the same way, so I think it must have something to do with the server. Maybe one of you heard about this and can give me hints where to look for. Which configuration files shall I post to help debug? Thanks, Bernd

[Dovecot] Proxy, using checkpassword
by Aaron Roberts 27 Nov '09

27 Nov '09

Hi all, I think I may be doing something wrong but, is it possible to proxy POP and IMAP users when using a checkpassword script as the passdb? I'm trying to write a perl script to handle authentication to a mix of SQL and POP3 sources whilst logging user passwords at the same time for a migration. At the moment, I'm trying to set environment variables to tell dovecot what to do: $ENV{'AUTHORIZED'} = 2; $ENV{'proxy'} = 'Y'; $ENV{'host'} = $pop_success; Dovecot is logging the following: Nov 27 10:35:01 pop3 dovecot: auth(default): client in: AUTH#0118#011PLAIN#011service=pop3#011lip=192.168.100.143#011rip=192.168.100.60#011lport=110#011rport=3051#011resp=AGFpcmJlYXIAcG9uZGFhcjM= Nov 27 10:35:01 pop3 dovecot: auth(default): checkpassword(airbear,192.168.100.60): execute: /var/run/dovecot/login/authomatic.pl /usr/libexec/dovecot/checkpassword-reply Nov 27 10:35:02 pop3 dovecot: auth(default): checkpassword(airbear,192.168.100.60): Received input: userdb_uid=0#011userdb_gid=0#011 Nov 27 10:35:02 pop3 dovecot: auth(default): checkpassword(airbear,192.168.100.60): Received no input Nov 27 10:35:02 pop3 dovecot: auth(default): checkpassword(airbear,192.168.100.60): exit_status=0 Nov 27 10:35:02 pop3 dovecot: auth(default): client out: OK#0118#011user=airbear Nov 27 10:35:02 pop3 dovecot: dovecot: User airbear is missing UID (see mail_uid setting) Nov 27 10:35:02 pop3 dovecot: auth(default): master in: REQUEST#0115#01116075#0118 Nov 27 10:35:02 pop3 dovecot: auth(default): master out: USER#0115#011airbear Nov 27 10:35:02 pop3 dovecot: pop3-login: Internal login failure (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=<airbear>, method=PLAIN, rip=192.168.100.60, lip=192.168.100.143 Thanks in advance, Aaron

[Dovecot] is there a script to find a message from a given username easily?
by Gary Kline 27 Nov '09

27 Nov '09

Hello people, I used primarily mutt and sendmail for many years. (And elm before mutt.) All my mail was saved into ~/Mail. Messages from, say, smith(a)foo.ber were stored in ~/Mail/smith; all mail from smith was catenated into one file, and if I wanted to find something that smith had written, I would just cd to ~/Mail and grep or egrep on a likely word or phrase. Is there a script that can reach into my server into My maildirectory and cp or symlink (say) ~/Maildir/smith's files: 2 -rw------- 1 kline kline 780 Apr 18 2008 1208585354.91013_3.aristotle:2,S 2 -rw------- 1 kline kline 731 May 15 2008 1210901757.55602_4.aristotle:2,S 2 -rw------- 1 kline kline 566 May 18 2008 1211140486.77700_3.aristotle:2,S 2 -rw------- 1 kline kline 578 May 20 2008 1211326880.95596_4.aristotle:2,S 2 -rw------- 1 kline kline 578 May 21 2008 1211393732.2283_3.aristotle:2,S 2 -rw------- 1 kline kline 673 Apr 13 2009 1239636788.1457_3.aristotle:2,S 6 -rw------- 1 kline kline 4242 Apr 14 2009 1239748901.16354_4.aristotle:2,S into somthing named ~/Mail/smith, with all files catted together? tia, gary kline -- Gary Kline kline(a)thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix http://jottings.thought.org http://transfinite.thought.org The 7.31a release of Jottings: http://jottings.thought.org/index.php

26 Nov '09

Hi all! I have a corpus of virtual users ( user1(a)domain.tld , user2(a)domain.tld, user3(a)domain.tld,..., usern(a)domain.tld ... ) authenticated against Active Directory. Is it possible to group some users (virtual) and give appropriate ACLs on a shared imap public folder using an ACL vfile? thanks in advance Dimitrios

[Dovecot] Dovecot hosts in France?
by Anatoly IVANOV 26 Nov '09

26 Nov '09

Hi, * Would someone recommend web hosts in France using Dovecot, please? I'd prefer to outsource the server management to someone else (although I could install and run my own Dovecot server). I need the server to be located physically in a French datacenter for legal reasons. Sorry if I'm a bit off-topic. Not a technical question. Thanks in advance.

[Dovecot] restrictions on folder length?
by Brett Dikeman 25 Nov '09

25 Nov '09

Greetings all, After migrating a few dozen people to our departmental mailserver, we've run into a problem with one user who makes extensive use of folders and nesting them. I've seen as many as 8 levels. The longest resulting folder name is 113 characters, which results in a total path length of 137 characters (/var/spool/mail/******). Their old mail server handled this fine, but dovecot is choking on it; imapsync reports "invalid mailbox name", and he gets the same error clicking on the mailboxes in Thunderbird (they seem to have been created, despite the error messages.) Mail was imported over using imapsync, and did so flawlessly for all the other accounts. Are we running up against a soft (configuration file) or hard (source) limit? Or is this a bug? Thanks! Brett

[Dovecot] expire plugin + --exec-mail in 1.2.6 version
by Nikita Koshikov 25 Nov '09

25 Nov '09

Hello list, After upgrade to dovecot version 1.2.6 I have noticed some quota malfunctions(users become often overquota). Looking at logs closely I have found that quota value resets to general dovecot-config( quota = maildir:Mailbox quota quota_rule = *:storage=500M quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=10%% ), after dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/libexec/dovecot/expire-tool.sh command. The problem that some users have their own quotas stored in ldap. For example, user sr(a)domain.com have maildirsize before running expire-tool(1G value from ldap): # head -2 /data/mail/domain.com/sr/data/maildirsize 10485760000S 836423205 8285 Then I run expire-tool with mail_debug enabled: # /usr/sbin/dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/libexec/dovecot/expire-tool.sh Info: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap Info: Module loaded:

[Dovecot] new to dovecot
by Lars Nielsen 25 Nov '09

Hi there, I have installed debian with exim4 postgresql 8.3 and dovecot 1.0.15. I have the mail delivery part done, so when i send mail it gets delivered in ~/MailDir/ I have tried to authenticate via passwd and postgresql but with no luck. I have read a lot on google but i cannot get dovecot to give me the mails via pop3. Is there a tutorial somewhere i have missed? so far i have messed up my config like this : # 1.0.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/ log_path: /var/log/dovecot/errors.log log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: pop3 pop3s login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-login mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir mail_debug: yes mail_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/pop3 pop3_uidl_format: %08Xu%08Xv auth default: verbose: yes passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd regards Lars Nielsen

[Dovecot] Newbee, some questions
by Spyros Tsiolis 24 Nov '09

24 Nov '09

Hello list, OK, I just registered with the list, so please be tolerant :-) I've been using another MTA for about, oh, I'd say nine years now. Due to reasons beyond me (mainly my clients demanding more for their buck / things like webmail etc.), I was forced to start searching for (always) open source alternatives. The last MTA was only POP3/SMTP. It does no webmail. It interfaces with other software with a lot of pain and difficulty. I'll cut to the chase. I would like to start using some kind of software that can do the following : 1. Do multiple domain handling. 2. Have a centralized user base 3. Have a centralized mail repository for each user (like exchange, only without the admin/maintenance pain that comes with it) 4. be able to do IMAP/POP3 and not SMTP/POP3 (or do I need all three of them ?) 5. Interface with things like web-based mail software (LAMP ?) Am I in the right place ? I would certainly like to think so. However, the feedback belongs to you . Thank you kindly for your hospitality and patience, S. Tsiolis

[Dovecot] shared mailboxes using namespaces in 1.2
by Alexander 'Leo' Bergolth 24 Nov '09

24 Nov '09

Hi! I've been using shared mailbox trees using maildir, unix permissions and separate namespaces per shared tree since dovecot 1.0. However now that I've upgraded to 1.2.8, I cannot create subfolders anymore. The server responds with "NO Invalid mailbox name: test/testsub". The hierarchy separator for the namespaces is / because I am mixing maildir and mbox namespaces and list=yes. The details: I am using a post-login script (attached) that detects all subfolders of /var/spool/mail/Shared for which the current user has at least read access. For every subfolder, it creates a separate namespace with the prefix Shared/<mailboxname>. The shared mailbox trees are in maildir format. If one of those namespace-prefixes is e.g. "Shared/sharedmailbox/", I am able to create "Shared/sharedmailbox/test" but trying to create "Shared/sharedmailbox/test/testsub" will fail with the above error. If I set the herarchy separator to '.' even creating "Shared/sharedmailbox/test" will fail. Any hints?

[Dovecot] Slow IMAP Auth
by Jeff Duncan 24 Nov '09

24 Nov '09

Hello, I am experiencing IMAP authentication delays when a client first authenticates, or after the last auth timeout. There are only a handful of clients - less than 5 - using the server. I am using a mysql database and I have verified the PAM auth is commented out. Other than that I can't figure out what might be causing the slow authentication. The first time a client authenticates with SSL/CRAMD5 it takes almost 20 seconds. Does anyone have any suggestions? My config and version is below: mail:~# dovecot --version 1.1.11 mail:/usr/share/gallery2# dovecot -n # 1.1.11: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 i686 Debian 5.0.3 ext3 log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: imap imaps pop3 pop3s 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 mail_max_userip_connections(default): 20 mail_max_userip_connections(imap): 20 mail_max_userip_connections(pop3): 10 first_valid_uid: 6060 mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%n mail_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugins(default): autocreate quota imap_quota mail_plugins(imap): autocreate quota imap_quota mail_plugins(pop3): quota 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 auth default: mechanisms: plain login cram-md5 passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf passdb: driver: sql

So...any idea? Thanks!

[Dovecot] Migrating existing local Maildir structure to dovecot server Maildir
by Halim Issa 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

Hello, I'm about to migrate a number of existing users who have been using POP3 with emails stored locally in KMail's Maildir format into an IMAP solution based on Dovecot. Will it be possible to simply move all the KDE Maildir folders from the local PCs to the Maildir folder on the IMAP server running Dovecot and then have the emails accessible on the server, or will this most likely mess up the Dovecot index files? If this causes index file trouble, is there any way to force a re-indexing of all these files, or is there another recommended way of migrating up to 7 years of email communication from local hosts to the IMAP server, for later putting them in folders? Thanks in advance! (PS. I noticed a few of the howto's on how to migrate to dovecot, but they only focus on moving from mbox to dovecot or similar, and not migrating existing Maildir emails to a new dovecot server... Any such pointers would be greatly appreciated :-)) -y1

[Dovecot] dovecot ignoring folder permissions on directory creation
by Peter 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

Ubuntu 8.04lts Dovecot 1.2.6 So, further to the 'deliver' problem posted yesterday I've also discovered another issue regarding permissions: files and directories are being created 0600/0700 by the IMAP and deliver process (depending on who gets there first!) preventing use of shared mailboxes. According to documentation: "When creating a new mailbox, Dovecot v1.2+ copies the permissions from the mailbox root directory." and "When creating new files inside a mailbox, Dovecot v1.2+ copies the read/write permissions from the mailbox's directory." (http://wiki.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Permissions) So, with an empty directory of: drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 21 2009-11-16 13:36 /home drwxrwx--x 3 nobody maildir 21 2009-11-16 13:36 /home/mail I would expect a user logging in to have their mail directory created automatically with the same permissions (but not necessarily the same group). What I see post-login is: drwxrwx--x 3 nobody maildir 21 2009-11-16 13:42 /home/mail drwx------ 3 auser adomain 18 2009-11-16 13:42 /home/mail/adomain drwx------ 3 auser adomain 20 2009-11-16 13:42 /home/mail/adomain/auser drwx------ 5 auser adomain 4096 2009-11-16 13:42 /home/mail/adomain/auser/Maildir drwx------ 2 auser adomain 6 2009-11-16 13:42 /home/mail/adomain/auser/Maildir/cur -rw------- 1 auser adomain 0 2009-11-16 13:42 /home/mail/adomain/auser/Maildir/dovecot-acl-list -rw------- 1 auser adomain 156 2009-11-16 13:42 /home/mail/adomain/auser/Maildir/dovecot.index.log -rw------- 1 auser adomain 17 2009-11-16 13:42 /home/mail/adomain/auser/Maildir/dovecot-uidlist -rw------- 1 auser adomain 8 2009-11-16 13:42 /home/mail/adomain/auser/Maildir/dovecot-uidvalidity -rw------- 1 auser adomain 0 2009-11-16 13:42 /home/mail/adomain/auser/Maildir/dovecot-uidvalidity.4b0156e2 drwx------ 2 auser adomain 6 2009-11-16 13:42 /home/mail/adomain/auser/Maildir/new drwx------ 2 auser adomain 6 2009-11-16 13:42 /home/mail/adomain/auser/Maildir/tmp I've tried pre-creation of /home/mail/adomain, /home/mail/adomain/auser and /home/mail/adomain/auser/Maildir in each case with permissions 0770 but in each case subsequent subdirectories and files are 0700/0600. I've also tried use of a "dovecot-shared" file, but this also has no effect under any permutation I can create. Anyone else seen this?

[Dovecot] Dovecot on Qnap ts-439
by BeKi 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

Hello, I use Xdove 1.2 on my ts-409 together with IMAP/dovecot. I like to see the same folder structure on my different workstation (private/work ...). I move the mails into the folder structure I created. That works fine. But since I use Xdove with IMAP I have the problem that my mailclient loads all mails I already stored in different folders again into the INBOX (some mails also multiple with subfolders). These mails are duplicates (or multiples) because I delete them all. The mails in my folders are still there. Up to now I tried different mail clients. Thunderbird 2.x/3.x, Pegasus 4.5, Outlook Express. All behave the same way, so I think it must have something to do with the server. The times when the clients loads the mails into INBOX are not regular intervals. It can be a day when this happens again or one week. Maybe one of you heard about this and can give me hints where to look for. Which configuration files shall I post to help debug? Thanks, Bernd

[Dovecot] lda deliver + vpopmail
by Stéphane Cottin 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

Hi all, I'm enjoying using dovecot deliver with qmail+vpopmail+dspam. It works mostly fine, I like the indexing and sieve features with dovecot deliver. I would like to get more details on trouble, the log entry is just : " 2009-11-18_20:38:55.64778 delivery 50833: deferral: " As you see, there no reason for the deferral. How can I make deliver more verbose ? I also have a vpopmail alias issue. Because some domains (sadly) needs a catchall, and to keep using the useful vpopmail alias features, I'm using the following ugly script : " #!/bin/sh email=`/usr/sbin/valias -- $1 2>/dev/null | cut -d" " -f3` if [ -z "$email" ];then email=$1 t=`/usr/sbin/vuserinfo -n -- $1 2>&1>/dev/null` t=$? if [ "$t" == "255" ];then domain=`echo "${1}" | cut -d'@' -f 2` dir=`/usr/sbin/vdominfo -d $domain 2> /dev/null| head -1` email=`cat ${dir}/.qmail-default | head -1 | awk -F# '{ print $2 }'` if [ "$email" == "bounce-no-mailbox" ];then email=$1 fi fi fi echo $email " my .qmail-default file contains : " #bounce-no-mailbox | /usr/bin/dspam --client --deliver=innocent,spam --user `/usr/sbin/vrealemails $EXT@$USER` --stdout | /usr/bin/preline -f /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -d `/usr/sbin/vrealemails $EXT@$USER` " or if using a catchall : " #catchall(a)domain.com | /usr/bin/dspam --client --deliver=innocent,spam --user `/usr/sbin/vrealemails $EXT@$USER` --stdout | /usr/bin/preline -f /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -d `/usr/sbin/vrealemails $EXT@$USER` " I don't like this way for design and security reasons and would prefer a more consistent approach. The vpopmail alias lookup should be made internally by deliver, and unlike my script, handle one to many aliasing. The catchall feature is (sadly) also needed, my implementation is ugly, in practice it works, but is limited as the catchall address must be on the same host. I'm thinking about adding a specific option to the deliver command line, but I'm not sure that's the better way to do it. Help needed please Stéphane

[Dovecot] .temp file, public folders
by Mayer 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

We recently migrated from UW-Imap to dovecot. Our setup: dovecot 1.2.6 postfix 2.3.3 (from rhel) systemusers without shell access to the mailstore location = maildir:/maildir/%1n/%u:LAYOUT=fs All mails on local disks. Performance is great compared with mbox. But I still have some unresolved problems, mainly concerning deliver. Deliver sometimes wants to write a .temp.<hostname>.some-number file in the user's home directory. If the user is over quota (in his home!) he can't receive mails though no mails are stored in his home. The user homes are on a distributed filesystem (AFS). The mails are stored locally on the mailserver as I mentioned before. How can I tell deliver in the configuration to write the temp file at another location ? We would like to offer public folders for work groups. Reading with imap works fine. But I didn't find a way to tell deliver to drop mails directly in a public folder. Should I use Sieve instead ? Maybe this is rather a postfix question. Postfix is calling deliver. Userdb in the dovecot config is passwd. Postfix looks for local users in: local_recipient_maps = $alias_maps $recipient_canonical_maps unix:passwd.byname Any help is appreciated. Helga Mayer

[Dovecot] mbox sync: UID inserted in the middle of mailbox
by Ivan S 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

Hi All, Our webmail having an issue with the harddrive so I build new webmail on other machine (using Squirrelmail+dovecot+postfix). After copy all data/home folder from the backup, when this user want to access his Sent item, nothing's in it. I've checked the log and found the message as below. mailserver dovecot: IMAP(xxxxx): mbox sync: UID inserted in the middle of mailbox /home/xxxx/mail/Sent (691 > 657, seq=473, idx_msgs=10950) mailserver dovecot: IMAP(xxxxx): mbox sync: UID inserted in the middle of mailbox /home/xxxx/mail/Sent (691 > 657, seq=473, idx_msgs=10950) This is only happen with the Sent items, since I also found other similar log and this user advised that everything is fine with that folder mailserver dovecot: IMAP(xxxxx): mbox sync: UID inserted in the middle of mailbox /home/xxxxx/mail/Accountant Info (327 > 326, seq=306, idx_msgs=353) mailserver dovecot: IMAP(xxxxx): mbox sync: UID inserted in the middle of mailbox /home/xxxxx/mail/Accountant Info (327 > 326, seq=306, idx_msgs=353) I've rebuild the index file by delete the Sent item folder in .imap directory, no such luck. Any help would be really appreciated Thank you

[Dovecot] NONEXISTENT status code
by Michael M. Slusarz 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

I'm going to take exception to the way dovecot (1.2.8) is returning the NONEXISTENT response code in certain cases. For example, these transactions: c: 1 EXAMINE "foo" S: 1 NO [NONEXISTENT] Mailbox doesn't exist: foo C: 2 STATUS "foo" (MESSAGES) S: 2 NO [NONEXISTENT] Mailbox doesn't exist: foo ...don't appear to be the proper usage of NONEXISTENT. From RFC 5530[3]: NONEXISTENT The operation attempts to delete something that does not exist. NONEXISTENT should be used for RENAME or DELETE (also the UID EXPUNGE) commands. Although the textual description is appropriate in the above situations - the mailbox truly doesn't exist - this is not what the response code indicates. Under the RFCs, it seems that failure of a STATUS or EXAMINE command with a NO response *could* mean the mailbox doesn't exist, but there is no method of reporting this via a response code. michael

[Dovecot] Upgrade Dovecot 1.2.7 to 1.2.8 on OS X (10.6.2)
by Tom Kardos 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

Hi there, I've tried to update Dovecot to the latest version and have come upon an error during make. Previous upgrades have all been very easy (thank you!) and it appears that the updated make script includes a wget command and unfortunately OS X does not come with wget by default (curl is the default). Not being completely up to speed with the whole autoconf and make process, I'm a little at a loss as to where to even look for making a modification to use curl instead of wget - any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks in advance Tom

[Dovecot] quota in SQL and static userdb
by Lampa 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

Hello, which solution will be working or will be working better (performance). Using dovecot 1.2.6 (plugin section contains quota_rule = *:storage=500M:messages=10000 and i need override this default quota for some users) A) passdb sql(SELECT userid AS user, pw AS password, quota AS userdb_quota_rule FROM users WHERE userid = '%u') + userdb static (uid=500 gid=500 home=/home/mail/%d/%n allow_all_users=yes) - using extra fields quota with no prefetch userdb or B) passdb sql(SELECT userid AS user, pw AS password, quota AS userdb_quota_rule, CONCAT('/home/mail/', domain, '/', user) AS userdb_home, 500 AS userdb_uid, 500 AS userdb_gid FROM users WHERE userid = '%u') + prefetch (eg same sql file) Solution for LDA only(postfix local delivery) and for another IMAP/POP3 dovecot instance? And how to implement domain quotas (something like user quotas using dict) ? Thank you. -- Lampa

[Dovecot] How to remove leading dots from folder names with Layout=FS
by Tony Rutherford 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

We are looking to move to Dovecot from a customized Courier implementation. Our current format is maildir-like. It's basically a filesystem layout...hierarchies are identified by real directories/subdirectories. Our folder names do have a leading dot and for reasons related to other systems, we do not want to change our format at all.The Layout=FS is very close to working for us. The problem we have is the folder names are coming back with the leading dot to the clients. Is there a way through configuration to have the leading dot removed?So, just to clarify, under our maildir home, we have directories (folders) for example: .Trash, .Sent-Mail, etc. Then, any child folders would be resident in the physical subdirectories. Like I said, things appear to work ok, except our List is coming back with .Trash, .Sent-Mail, etc....we would like simply Trash, Sent-Mail, etc.Thanks,...Tony This message is intended solely for the individual(s) to whom it is addressed. If you are not the intended recipient, any dissemination or copying is strictly prohibited. If you believe you received this message in error, please notify the sender and delete from your system. Thank you.

The default dovecot.conf says # Dictionary can be used by some plugins to store key=value lists. # Currently this is only used by dict quota backend. Looks like expire uses dict as well. The managesieve comments are stale as well, with a reference to sieve_storage still in there. Or do they refer to the CMU sieve implementation? Anyway it is confusing. -frank

[Dovecot] [OT] preferred clients
by Jonathan 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

I'm getting tired of Thunderbird telling me I have unread messages in folders that haven't gotten new messages for months so I'm looking for a new mail client. I know the problem lies with Thunderbird because everything is fine via RoundCube and if it tell Thunderbird to rebuild it's index it shows the folder correctly again. Except of course for a subset of the messages in my inbox that it insists where delivered at the exact time I re-indexed it, every time. So what IMAP clients do people prefer these days? Preferably windows or cross platform and it needs to have decent key bindings because (probably like many of you) I get 100s of emails a day via lists and anything that speeds my way through them is good. I run my own server (probably obvious being on this list) and can install webmail clients as well. I ran squirrelmail for a while but although functional it's quite dated. I'm using RoundCube for access away from my systems now but it lacks keyboard shortcut support and trying to click one email after another with a laptop touchpad gets painful fast. Thanks, Jonathan

[Dovecot] Override Quota with post-login scripting problem
by Yorck Koehler 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

Hi everyone, I do have the following dovecot-setup: Passdb: PAM (Winbind-auth and pam_mkhomedir-session) Userdb: passwd (NSS-winbind) This validates/creates my users with aid of my running ActiveDirectory. Now the problem: My global quota policy works fine, but I need to override them for some users. I was sucessful within IMAP itself. I use post-login scripting for that. The mail-clients displays the user-quota correctly. But delivery is still a problem, because I'm unable to override the settings there with post-login scripting. Everytime I send messages to such a user, dovecot sends it back with "Quota exceeded (mailbox for user is full)"... My Question: Is it possible to override the lda quota like I can do it within imap ? (I dont want to change my setup to MYSQL DB only for per-user Quota, if its possible to use a simple file with names and quota) This is the post-login script: #quotaperuser.sh #!/bin/sh case "$USER" in "ZAGH-V+username") QUOTA_RULE='*:storage=500M';; "ZAGH-V+test") QUOTA_RULE='*:storage=5000M';; esac exec /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap $* My Configuration: {dovecot -n} # 1.2.3: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.16.60-0.54.5-smp i686 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (i586) base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/ log_path: /var/log/dovecot.err info_log_path: /var/log/dovecot.info protocols: imap imaps pop3 ssl_listen: * disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot//login login_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir mail_full_filesystem_access: yes mail_executable(default): /usr/local/bin/quotaperuser.sh mail_executable(imap): /usr/local/bin/quotaperuser.sh mail_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugins(default): quota imap_quota expire mail_plugins(imap): quota imap_quota expire mail_plugins(pop3): quota expire mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3 pop3_uidl_format(default): %08Xu%08Xv pop3_uidl_format(imap): %08Xu%08Xv pop3_uidl_format(pop3): %v.%u lda: postmaster_address: postmaster(a)zag.de mail_plugins: sieve quota expire mail_plugin_dir: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lda quota_full_tempfail: no deliver_log_format: msgid=%m subject=%s from=%f status=%$ auth default: username_chars: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ01234567890.-_@+ username_format: zagh-v+%u failure_delay: 0 passdb: driver: pam args: session=yes dovecot userdb: driver: passwd plugin: sieve: ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir: ~/sieve quota: maildir:Quota quota_rule: *:storage=100M quota_rule2: Trash:storage=100M quota_warning: storage=90%% /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh 90 quota_warning2: storage=75%% /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh 75 expire: trash 7 expire_dict: proxy::expire

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/dovecot-1.2.8.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/dovecot-1.2.8.tar.gz.sig This is mainly to fix the 0777 base_dir creation issue, which could be considered a security hole, exploitable by local users. An attacker could for example replace Dovecot's auth socket and log in as other users. Gaining root privileges isn't possible though. This affects only v1.2 users, v1.1 and older versions were creating the directory with 0755 permission. If your Dovecot's base_dir isn't in /var/run/dovecot/, you should also make sure that the $prefix/var/ and $prefix/var/run/ (i.e. /usr/local/var/, /usr/local/var/run/ by default) aren't 0777. * Dovecot v1.2.x had been creating base_dir (and its parents if necessary) with 0777 permissions. The base_dir's permissions get changed to 0755 automatically at startup, but you may need to chmod the parent directories manually. - acl: If user has rights from more than one group, merge them instead of choosing one group's rights and ignoring others. - virtual: When using a lot of mailboxes, the virtual mailbox's header could have grown over 32 kB and caused "out of memory" crashes. Also over 64 kB headers couldn't even be updated with existing transaction log records. Added a new record type that gets used with >=64 kB headers. Older Dovecot versions don't understand this header and will log errors if they see it. - FETCH BODYSTRUCTURE didn't return RFC 2231 "key*" fields correctly

[Dovecot] migrating from Courier
by LuKreme 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

I've been running postfix/courier-ssl/MySQL/postfixadmin for years, but since I am in the process of building a new server I decide to reexamine my options. I'm sticking with postfix, but I've decided to move from courier to dovecot because everyone is telling me it's much faster, and I really dislike courier's SASL setup and integration with other services. Of course, I have dozens (but not hundreds) of gigabytes of Courier Maildirs for all the users. Most of the users are in MySQL virtual domains and their mail is stored in a common directory (/usr/local/virtual) and owned by a single system user (vpopmail). I've even hacked together a postfix service to run procmail for the virtual users, though my intention of creating a webface allowing them to muck up their own .procmailrcs never came to fruition. I'm doing my user migration in two steps. First, I will rsync all the mail (and all the user webfiles) to the new server, do any setup/conversion/&c to the data on the new server and make sure everything is working and that passwords are preserved. Then, right before the server goes live I will shutdown mail on the old machine, rsync any new mail (hopefully no more than a couple of hours worth) over, do any conversion, and then fire up the new server. 1) what do I need to do to convert or prepare the courier maildirs for dovecot? 2) is the current setup of virtual users reasonable for dovecot? 2.1) Is there a better option than postfixadmin? 3) some of my users are not in MySQL, but are real system users. Is this going to confuse dovecot (it confuses courier no end). These system users are still using courier and courier maildirs. 4) would it be better to take the server live and THEN move/convert the old mail? 5) anything else obvious that I didn't mention or ask that I should have? The most important thing, of course, is to not lose anyone's email. -- "Two years from now, spam will be solved," -- Bill Gates, January, 2004

[Dovecot] Dovecot and SATA Backend
by Nicolas GRENECHE 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

Hi all, I plan to run a dovecot IMAPS and POPS service on our network. We handle about 3 000 mailboxes. I thought first buying a topnotch server (8 cores and 16 Go RAM) with equalogic iSCSI SAN SAS 15K for storage backend. On second though (and after a comprhensive read of dovecot features), I saw in http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailLocation that index files can be created on a separete local filesystem. My question is : for 3000 users, is it possible to have only a SATA backend attached to my topnotch server (to handle bigger mail quotas) by storing index on local hard drives (SAS drives) ? Extra question, what is the better : iSCSI SATA backend or NFS share ? NFS share is more convenient to have a failover server. Thanks for your help.

I'm sure this isn't said enough, so kudos to Timo for what has to be the best IMAP server anywhere, hands-down no qualifications! And to think, it's a one man operation ... although perhaps that is one of the reasons it is so good.

[Dovecot] bug when creating /var/run/dovecot?
by Frank Cusack 20 Nov '09

20 Nov '09

dovecot-1.2.7 If /var/run/dovecot does not exist when dovecot starts up (e.g. required when /var/run is a tmpfs/ramfs), it creates it. But it creates it with the wrong file mode -- the directory is mode 777. Being world writable means any user could change the name of any file within the directory, including the login directory, and then create their own new login directory. Or remove the pid file, or perhaps cause other types of havoc. Comments? -frank

Hi list Trying to get sieve for 1.2 running (dovecot sieve, not cmusieve) I'm running on centos 5.4 64bit, dovecot rpms installed from http://atrpms.net/dist/el5/dovecot/ ( dovecot-1.2.7-0_102.el5.x86_64.rpm and dovecot-devel-1.2.7-0_102.el5.x86_64.rpm ) I pulled the sieve sources ( hg clone http://hg.rename-it.nl/dovecot-1.2-sieve ) autogen.sh ./configure --with-dovecot=/usr/include/dovecot/ so far so good but make fails: [...] make[4]: Leaving directory `/work/dovecot-1.2-sieve/src/sieve-tools/debug' make[4]: Entering directory `/work/dovecot-1.2-sieve/src/sieve-tools' if gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../.. -I../.. -I../../src/lib-sieve -I../../src/lib-sieve-tool -I./debug -I/usr/include/dovecot -I/usr/include/dovecot/src/lib -I/usr/include/dovecot/src/lib-mail -I/usr/include/dovecot/src/lib-index -I/usr/include/dovecot/src/lib-storage -I/usr/include/dovecot/src/deliver -std=gnu99 -O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m64 -mtune=generic -Wall -W -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wpointer-arith -Wchar-subscripts -Wformat=2 -Wbad-function-cast -Wstrict-aliasing=2 -I/usr/kerberos/include -MT sievec.o -MD -MP -MF ".deps/sievec.Tpo" -c -o sievec.o sievec.c; \ then mv -f ".deps/sievec.Tpo" ".deps/sievec.Po"; else rm -f ".deps/sievec.Tpo"; exit 1; fi make[4]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/include/dovecot/src/lib-storage/register/libstorage-register.a', needed by `sievec'.

I've spent a week looking at the likes of PVFS, GFS, Lustre and a whole host of different systems, including pNFS (NFS 4.1) At the risk of diverting the thread away from the SATA backend, is there any recommendation for a fault tolerant file service. I'm really looking for 3 or 4 boxes to store data/metadata to support 10 Apache and Dovecot servers. The things I don't like are having a single metadata server be a single point of failure.

[Dovecot] configurable sieve_max_redirects

Witam Sieve implementation in dovecot 1.2 have hard-coded limit for max redirect: SIEVE_DEFAULT_MAX_REDIRECTS 4. I have to rise this to much higher value, e.g. 64. Is there possibility to do this another way than recompiling source? Maybe adding an option to dovecot.conf in plugin section will be a good idea. -- Pozdrowienia Maciej Polewczynski Registered Linux user #117725 OGICOM Sp. z o.o., 61-131 Poznan, ul.

[Dovecot] Combination of default domain and username character translation problem in POP3 server configuration
by Vico 19 Nov '09

19 Nov '09

Hello, I have a mail server running vm-pop3 and I am migrating it to Dovecot. I have a problem configuring Dovecot as a POP3 server only (I'm not interested in IMAP for now). I have two types of domains: one principal domain, whose users don't include the domain in the login process; and secondary domains, whose users include the domain part with the ! separator, instead of @ (i.e. prueba!mysecondarydomain.es). Because of that, I have set the following options in the configuration file: auth_default_realm = myprincipaldomain.es auth_username_translation = !@ The combination of these two parameters produces the following effect when I login with an user of a secondary domain (I have no problem with principal domain authentication): +OK Bienvenido al servidor de correo. user prueba!mysecondarydomain.es +OK pass prueba. -ERR Authentication failed. quit +OK Logging out This is the resulting log: Nov 19 09:58:51 prueba dovecot: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=21953 Nov 19 09:59:04 prueba dovecot: auth(default): client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=POP3 lip=192.168.1.84 rip=192.168.17.13 resp=AHBydWViYSF0b2JhcnJhLmVzAHBydWViYS4= Nov 19 09:59:04 prueba dovecot: auth(default): passwd-file(prueba@mysecondarydomain.es@myprincipaldomain.es,192.168.17. 13): no passwd file: /etc/virtual/mysecondarydomain.es(a)myprincipaldomain.es/passwd Nov 19 09:59:05 prueba dovecot: auth(default): client out: FAIL 1 user=prueba@mysecondarydomain.es@myprincipaldomain.es So, I think the problem is Dovecot tests if the default domain is needed before the character translation is done, so the character ! is not detected as a domain separator, so the default domain is always appended. The question is how I could resolve this problem. I need these two operations to be done because there is a lot of users already working with this configuration. Thank you in advance.

Hi, happy after migrating from Courier to Dovecot without major issues, and saving 3 Gb of RAM after the migration, now I'm going to move everything to a 5 Tb RAID6 array. There's another thread on SATA and cluster fs, but for now I'm looking for the best filesystem in your experience. Currently I use Reiser, but I'd like to know if someone has worked with ext4 and Dovecot's maildir++. Thanks. P.S. I have UPS and generator, but my RAID card doesn't have backup battery.

[Dovecot] Thunderbird Search Folder failures
by Michael Durket 18 Nov '09

18 Nov '09

In converting everyone at our site from UW-IMAP I've run into another problem with Thunderbird users that I'm hoping someone can help me with. The dovecot version I'm running is old (1.0.13 - we don't do production upgrades that often but I'm perfectly willing to install a newer version). The affected Thunderbird users are running Thunderbird version 2.0023 under Windows. All mail is stored in mbox format. What appears to be happening is that searches looking for string matches in the message body don't work. I set up a test case with the affected user. We created a folder that had 6 messages: 5 containing the string in the message body and 1 that did not. Then we set up a search folder that looked for the string. Opening the Thunderbird search folder yielded no messages matching the search. A rawlog trace of the search in dovecot showed that dovecot had indeed responded that no messages were found (when 5 should have been). This doesn't happen with UW-IMAP (version imap-2007e which I think is the last version with bug fixes ever issued). Is this perhaps a known bug in dovecot that was fixed many releases ago and I should upgrade?

However, I'm not sure what address to provide in clients outside my home network so they can access the server. Is it simply the standard convention of 'machine.domain.com' address of the server?

I have debian lenny and dovecot 1.2.4 and a problem with the plugin cmusieve. protocol lda { postmaster_address = postmaster(a)cablenet.com.pe mail_plugins = cmusieve quota log_path = /var/log/dovecot-deliver.log info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-deliver.log } the log /var/log/dovecot-deliver.log shows me the following Fatal: Plugin cmusieve not found from directory /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda When I list the directory /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda, it was not found the cmusieve plugin.

[Dovecot] 2.0.alpha3 ssl_ca_file is broken
by Mike Abbott 17 Nov '09

17 Nov '09

In dovecot-2.0.alpha3, setting "ssl_ca_file = /path/to/file" in conf.d/ssl.conf does not work, because imap-login chroots before opening the ca_file. Perhaps this parameter could be replaced with "ssl_ca = </path/to/file" as was done with ssl_cert and ssl_key. Tue Nov 17 11:19:38 server dovecot[1143]: imap-login: Fatal: Error reading configuration: Invalid settings: ssl_ca_file: access(/path/to/file) failed: No such file or directory

[Dovecot] automatically compiling sieve scripts
by Edgar Fuß 17 Nov '09

17 Nov '09

Without having looked into the code: Does Pigeonhole automatically compile a sieve script if the compiled form is not /strictly/ newer than the text form? I'm running into the problem that during automatic installation of a global sieve-after script, my Makefile has a rule to compile, yet afterwards, the sieve plugin complains about not being able to compile (which is correct, but it shouldn't try in the first place). Both text and binary form have identical time stamps. I don't want to sleep between install and sievec.

[Dovecot] 2.0.alpha3 dovecot/auth works multiplying
by Alan Commike 17 Nov '09

17 Nov '09

I setup a test machine with 2.0.alpha3 - Linux, Centos 5.4. I'm using Postfix as my MTA with dovecot to do SASL authorization from /etc/{passwd,shadow}. I'm getting 'dovecot/auth -w' processes hanging around, over a few days I've reached into the 100s. As a test I set auth_worker_max_count = 2, didn't make a difference. Attaching with strace, looks like they're in their standard poll loop waiting for input. Any ideas? I haven't instrumented any of the code yet to see what's going on. I expect somehow you're losing track that the auth worker is out there? I have an old 1.x installation working with a similar setup. Here's the config: [root@pf ~]# dovecot -n # 2.0.alpha3: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.18-164.el5 i686 CentOS release 5.4 (Final) auth_debug = yes auth_debug_passwords = yes auth_verbose = yes auth_worker_max_count = 2 base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/ debug_log_path = /var/log/dovecot info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot listen = * log_path = /var/log/dovecot mail_debug = yes mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir passdb { deny = no driver = shadow } postmaster_address = postmaster(a)projectfoodie.com protocols = imap imaps service imap-login { inet_listener { port = 993 ssl = yes } } service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 511 user = postfix } } ssl = required ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { args = blocking=yes driver = passwd } userdb { args = /etc/passwd driver = passwd-file } verbose_proctitle = yes verbose_ssl = yes -- Alan Commike Founder, QEDLabs commike(a)qedlabs.com http://www.qedlabs.com 408.472.3202

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

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

17 Nov '09

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

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

17 Nov '09

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

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

16 Nov '09

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

Hi, I am having some problems with my vacation messages using dovecot. The mail is send without problems, and the auto-respond is working as well. But its always auto-responding, because the lda-dupes file can't be created. See mail log below: Nov 16 13:43:03 mail003 postfix/smtpd[6501]: connect from mail-bw0-f211.google.com[209.85.218.211] Nov 16 13:43:03 mail003 postfix/smtpd[6501]: D6FE6F64F: client=mail-bw0-f211.google.com[209.85.218.211] Nov 16 13:43:03 mail003 postfix/cleanup[6505]: D6FE6F64F: message-id=<4B014929.1000008(a)gmail.com> Nov 16 13:43:03 mail003 postfix/qmgr[27330]: D6FE6F64F: from=<[my.gmail.account]>, size=1946, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Nov 16 13:43:03 mail003 deliver([my.test.account]): file_dotlock_create(~/.dovecot.lda-dupes) failed: No such file or directory Nov 16 13:43:03 mail003 postfix/pickup[5934]: F202DF690: uid=5000 from=<> Nov 16 13:43:03 mail003 deliver([my.test.account]): msgid=<4B014929.1000008(a)gmail.com>: sent vacation response to <[my.gmail.account]> Nov 16 13:43:03 mail003 postfix/cleanup[6505]: F202DF690: message-id=<dovecot-1258375383-947629-0@mail003> Nov 16 13:43:04 mail003 postfix/qmgr[27330]: F202DF690: from=<>, size=570, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Nov 16 13:43:04 mail003 deliver([my.test.account]): msgid=<4B014929.1000008(a)gmail.com>: saved mail to INBOX Nov 16 13:43:04 mail003 postfix/pipe[6506]: D6FE6F64F: to=<[my.test.account]>, relay=dovecot, delay=0.21, delays=0.08/0.01/0/0.12, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered via dovecot service) Nov 16 13:43:04 mail003 postfix/qmgr[27330]: D6FE6F64F: removed Nov 16 13:43:05 mail003 postfix/smtp[6510]: F202DF690: to=<[my.gmail.account]>, relay=gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[74.125.93.114]:25, delay=1.6, delays=0.07/0.01/0.32/1.2, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 OK 1258375453 7si18156568qwb.35) Nov 16 13:43:05 mail003 postfix/qmgr[27330]: F202DF690: removed I manually created the file, but its keeping getting the message: root@mail003:/home/vmail/mydomain.com/info/.Maildir# ls -la drwx------ 6 vmail vmail 4096 2009-11-16 14:04 . drwx------ 3 vmail vmail 4096 2009-11-16 12:37 .. drwx------ 2 vmail vmail 4096 2009-11-16 14:04 cur -rw------- 1 vmail vmail 340 2009-11-16 13:49 dovecot.index -rw------- 1 vmail vmail 22528 2009-11-16 14:04 dovecot.index.cache -rw------- 1 vmail vmail 7000 2009-11-16 14:04 dovecot.index.log -rwx------ 1 vmail vmail 0 2009-11-16 14:03 .dovecot.lda-dupes -rwx------ 1 vmail vmail 485 2009-11-16 12:33 .dovecot.sieve -rw------- 1 vmail vmail 208 2009-11-16 12:56 .dovecot.sievec -rw------- 1 vmail vmail 522 2009-11-16 14:04 dovecot-uidlist -rw------- 1 vmail vmail 8 2009-11-11 14:31 dovecot-uidvalidity -rw------- 1 vmail vmail 0 2009-11-11 14:31 dovecot-uidvalidity.4afabcaa drwx------ 2 vmail vmail 4096 2009-11-16 14:04 new -rw------- 1 vmail vmail 6 2009-11-11 14:45 subscriptions drwx------ 2 vmail vmail 4096 2009-11-16 14:04 tmp drwx------ 5 vmail vmail 4096 2009-11-11 14:45 .Trash Is the ~/.dovecot.lda-dupes linking to another path, and how can I adjust this so it searches for /home/vmail/%d/%n/.Maildir/ ?

[Dovecot] IMAP folders' codepages problem ?
by michael＠euroinfissi.eu 14 Nov '09

Hi! I probably have a problem with the imap folders codepages. I use polish email clients such as MS Outlook and Windows Mail.

[Dovecot] Ownership and permissions for the index directory/filesystem
by Stewart Dean 14 Nov '09

14 Nov '09

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

[Dovecot] Index file (date timestamp) issue on OS X 10.6.2 Server
by Darren Latter 14 Nov '09

14 Nov '09

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

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

13 Nov '09

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

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

13 Nov '09

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

[Dovecot] Deliver and file system quota
by Rainer Frey 13 Nov '09

13 Nov '09

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

[Dovecot] sieve files wont get parsed/compiled using cmusieve
by Moritz Krinke 13 Nov '09

13 Nov '09

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

[Dovecot] UTF-8 mailbox names in filesystem
by Timo Sirainen 13 Nov '09

13 Nov '09

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

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

12 Nov '09

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

[Dovecot] multiple connections per imap/pop3 process in 2.0
by Mike Abbott 12 Nov '09

12 Nov '09

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

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

11 Nov '09

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

[Dovecot] Missing 'mailbox' variable ?
by David Goncalves 10 Nov '09

10 Nov '09

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

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

09 Nov '09

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

[Dovecot] scenario with one lda and 4 imapds/pop3ds

In fact, because multiple uids (and gids) have to create a directory there, you have to use a tmp-like directory. "1xxx" means the sticky-bit, so users may not remove an entry owned by another user. Because root is owner of /var/dvindex, you have just those two users able to remove: root and the owning user of the subdir. The user-specific subdirectories should be 0700 or something like that, so the security is OK.

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

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

05 Nov '09

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

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

05 Nov '09

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

[Dovecot] Quota email
by Peter Fraser 05 Nov '09

05 Nov '09

Hi All Just a quick question. Is it possible for the postmaster to get an email when a user goes over quota or is close to it? That is, aside for using the same script used to alert the user?

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

05 Nov '09

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

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

05 Nov '09

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

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

03 Nov '09

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

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

03 Nov '09

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

I'm using dovecot deliver with postfix. Is there a place to hook in a db update when an alias is hit? I'm wanting to delete aliases that haven't been used in x time. Thank you, Brad

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

03 Nov '09

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

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

31 Oct '09

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

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

30 Oct '09

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

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

30 Oct '09

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