[Dovecot] Dovecot-antispam does not work
by Jehan Pagès 03 Feb '09

03 Feb '09

Hi, I have installed dovecot-antispam and configured it this way (as in the doc) with the dspam exe: protocol imap { mail_plugins = antispam mail_plugin_dir = /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap } plugin { # For dovecot-antispam: antispam_signature = X-DSPAM-Signature antispam_trash = trash;Trash;Deleted Items antispam_spam = SPAM;Junk #antispam_unsure = unsure antispam_dspam_binary = /usr/bin/dspam antispam_dspam_args = --deliver=;--user;%u antispam_mail_tmpdir = /tmp } But it does not work and really I cannot figure it out for two days, because I can find no log wherever, where it writes it does (or try to do) something, nor in the dovecot logs, nor in the dspam logs. But I know something is happening because when I try to move a spam from my inbox to the Junk folder, it fails with an error telling it could not move the email. At the opposite, when I deactivate the antispam plugin, I can move normally the emails. So what could I do to fix my issue or at least diagnose it (where would I find logs of what is happening?)? Thanks. Jehan

[Dovecot] Mail undeliverable error
by jan gestre 03 Feb '09

03 Feb '09

Hi Guys, I've already posted this to the postfix mailing list and they made sure the error as the title suggest was generated by dovecot and not the other way around. I have an almost perfectly working multi domain mail server running dovecot+postfix+mysql+postfixadmin behind pfsense, when we transferred office, issues arose, suddenly users using email clients like thunderbird/outlook suddenly can't send mail when outside the office and instead gets an smtp denied or worst a mail undeliverable error. The mail undeliverable error was that the postmaster user is unknown yet I've created the alias using postfixadmin. I've made repeated test and sent mail directly to the postmaster and the email was received by the intended user, I'm stumped and have no idea to fix this. Hope you can help me, TIA. Here's the output of dovecot -n: dovecot -n # /etc/dovecot.conf base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/ log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S ssl_cert_file: /etc/postfix/ssl/mail-cert.pem ssl_key_file: /etc/postfix/ssl/mail-key.pem 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 first_valid_uid: 150 last_valid_uid: 150 mail_extra_groups: mail mail_location: maildir:/home/virtualmail/%d/%u maildir_copy_with_hardlinks: yes 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/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 pop3_client_workarounds(default): pop3_client_workarounds(imap): pop3_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh auth default: mechanisms: plain login digest-md5 user: nobody passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot-sql.conf socket: type: listen client: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-client mode: 432 user: postfix group: mail master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 432 user: virtualmail group: mail

[Dovecot] Vacation: Missing file .dovecot.lda-dupes ?
by Tobias Balle-Petersen 03 Feb '09

03 Feb '09

Hello.... I'm using the vacation feature, but the vacation reply is sent when ever a mail is received. What I want is, that the reply should only be sent one time to each user. My understanding is, that a list of people who have received the vacation message should be stored in the file .dovecot.lda-dupes in the users folder. This file is not present in my users fould. I have tried creating the file, but this makes no difference. Any ideas?

[Dovecot] "user grade" IMAP stress test
by Luigi Rosa 03 Feb '09

03 Feb '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I need some user grade windows-based IMAP stress tool. I have a situation with a lot of "disconnect" error on the user side (outlook, thunderbird and outlook express) but no sign of error on the Dovecot server. Between clients and server there are a LAN of dubious performance and a ZyWALL. I have already removed every kind of packet filtering on ZyWALL, few hours ago I moved the server near the ZyWALL and connected it directly. Should everything keeps going wrong, I would like to try to run some sort of IMAP test tool, but I have to give it to a Windows user. Can you please suggest me such tool?

[Dovecot] cram-md5 problem re-post
by Richard Stockton 03 Feb '09

03 Feb '09

I apparently did not post enough information the first time, so I am re-posting the original email with the requested configs. I just updated to dovecot 1.1.10 from 1.1.2 and now anyone using cram-md5 can't get authenticated. I am using mysql for passwords (in plain text) and home directories. Per some googling I tried to set (in /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf): # SQL database userdb sql { # Path for SQL configuration file, see doc/dovecot-sql.conf for example args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf } but that didn't help. And in any case people NOT using cram-md5 can authenticate just fine, both before and after I made that change. This worked "out of the box" under 1.1.2, but is broken now. Here's an example I pulled from the logs. dovecot: Jan 29 16:35:03 Info: auth-worker(default): sql(jennshinjo,xx.xx.xx.xx): SELECT home, uid, gid FROM users WHERE username = 'jennshinjo' AND domain = '' dovecot: Jan 29 16:35:03 Info: auth(default): prefetch(jennshinjo,xx.xx.xx.xx): success dovecot: Jan 29 16:35:03 Info: auth(default): master out: USER 1490 jennshinjo home=j/e/jennshinjo/Maildir/ uid=5000 gid=5000 home=j/e/jennshinjo/Maildir/ uid=5000 gid=5000 dovecot: Jan 29 16:35:03 Info: pop3-login: Internal login failure (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=<jennshinjo>, method=CRAM-MD5, rip=xx.xx.xx.xx, lip=10.255.0.11 Here is the "dovecot-sql.conf": :> more /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf driver = mysql connect = host=10.211.1.3 dbname=mail user=postfix password=p0stf1x9 default_pass_scheme = PLAIN password_query = SELECT password, home as userdb_home, 5000 as userdb_uid, 5000 as userdb_gid FROM mailbox where userid = '%n' Here are the results of "dovecot -n": :> dovecot -n # 1.1.10: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.18-128.el5 i686 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.3 (Tikanga) ext3 base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/ log_path: /var/log/pop.log info_log_path: /var/log/dovecot-info.log protocols: imap imaps pop3 pop3s listen(default): *:143 listen(imap): *:143 listen(pop3): *:110 ssl_listen(default): *:993 ssl_listen(imap): *:993 ssl_listen(pop3): *:995 ssl_cert_file: /etc/ssl/certs/server.crt ssl_key_file: /etc/ssl/private/server.key ssl_cipher_list: ALL:!LOW:!SSLv2 disable_plaintext_auth: no verbose_ssl: yes 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 login_greeting: Dovecot on mail-pop01.xxxxx.com ready. verbose_proctitle: yes mail_location: maildir:/mail/%h:INDEX=MEMORY mmap_disable: yes mail_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugins(default): mail_log mail_plugins(imap): mail_log mail_plugins(pop3): mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3 mail_log_max_lines_per_sec: 0 auth default: mechanisms: plain cram-md5 debug_passwords: yes process_size: 1024 passdb: driver: sql args: /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: sql args: /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: prefetch Any ideas appreciated.

[Dovecot] About behavior when I used mysql for dict quota backend
by hideck 03 Feb '09

03 Feb '09

Hi List, I of present dovecot 1.1.10 use it, and test dict quota backend and mysql. However, I am troubled so that it is IMAP4, and behavior when mysql fell is different from POP3. I become the error in Copy of Mail in IMAP4, but do not become the error in DELE of the POP3. Therefore I think that contradiction happens in database and real storage when mysql fell. I want an error to do it at the time of the DELE command of the POP3 if possible, but how will be it? Thank you for keeping company at my clumsy English. ---------------------------------------------------- # dovecot -n --------------------------- # 1.1.10: /etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5xen i686 CentOS release 5.2 (Final) protocols: imap pop3 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 mail_max_userip_connections(default): 100 mail_max_userip_connections(imap): 100 mail_max_userip_connections(pop3): 10 last_valid_uid: 65000 mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir mail_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugins(default): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(imap): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(pop3): quota mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 auth default: cache_size: 10 cache_ttl: 300 passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd socket: type: listen master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 user: dovecot group: dovecot plugin: quota: dict:user::proxy::quotadict quota_rule: *:storage=1536M quota_rule2: Trash:ignore dict: quotadict: mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-quota.conf --------------------------- mysql status --------------------------- mysql> SELECT username,current,path FROM quota WHERE username="test"; +----------+---------+----------------+ | username | current | path | +----------+---------+----------------+ | test | 1 | quota/messages | | test | 1460 | quota/storage | +----------+---------+----------------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec) --------------------------- # /etc/init.d/mysqld stop Connectting my server (IMAP4) syslog --------------------------- Feb 3 08:38:40 hideck dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<test>, method=PLAIN, rip=192.168.31.72, lip=192.168.0.1 Feb 3 08:38:46 hideck dovecot: dict: mysql: Connect failed to localhost (dovecot): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) - waiting for 75 seconds before retry Feb 3 08:38:46 hideck dovecot: dict: dict sql lookup failed: Not connected to database Feb 3 08:38:46 hideck dovecot: IMAP(test): Internal quota calculation error Feb 3 08:38:51 hideck dovecot: IMAP(test): Disconnected: Logged out bytes=357/1211 --------------------------- Connect Clients Log(IMAP4) --------------------------- * OK Dovecot ready. 0114 CAPABILITY * CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 SASL-IR SORT THREAD=REFERENCES MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT LITERAL+ IDLE CHILDREN NAMESPACE LOGIN-REFERRALS UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 QUOTA AUTH=PLAIN 0114 OK Capability completed. 0115 LOGIN ******** ******** 0115 OK Logged in. 0116 NAMESPACE * NAMESPACE (("" "."))

[Dovecot] Using dovecot sasl for authenticating in openldap
by Nathan Huesken 03 Feb '09

03 Feb '09

Hi, I am using dovecot imaps and exim, both authenticating using dovecot-sasl. To keep passwords in one place I would like to authenticate openldap users over dovecot-sasl. So looking at this page: http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/security.html I figure it could be done using Pass-Through authentication. For this, I need to create /usr/lib/sasl2/slapd.conf And adding a few config paremeters. This is a example mech_list: plain pwcheck_method: saslauthd saslauthd_path: /var/run/sasl2/mux I understand the mech_list parameter, but I have no Idea what to put in for the rest. Any help? Thanks! Nathan

Starting at midnight Feb 1 my phone can no longer fetch mail from Dovecot. It endlessly connects and reconnects as you can see in the log below.

[Dovecot] Config rewrite for v1.3
by Timo Sirainen 02 Feb '09

02 Feb '09

Still broken, but I committed the current changes to http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-config-rewrite/ The idea is something like: - src/config/ contains a doveconf binary which can be used to dump the current configuration. It's the only binary that reads dovecot.conf directly. Currently the code is kind of ugly because I wanted it to be able to parse the existing v1.2 dovecot.conf which required some kludging around. Perhaps in v2.0 the dovecot.conf could have larger changes and these kludges could be removed. - master currently executes doveconf 3 times: for default settings, for imap settings, for pop3 settings. The result is saved into an array of KEY=value pairs in an array. Eventually they're still sent to child processes via environment. This sending via environment is again mainly for backwards compatibility with post-login scripts. Although they are useful there, so I'm not sure if it should be kept that way. Although post-login scripting doesn't really work anymore with Apple's multiple-connections-per-mail-process code, so perhaps that needs some rethinking in any case.. - deliver also currently forks and executes doveconf. I hate this. But I don't like the alternative of having a libconfig that deliver could use to read the configuration inside the binary as is done now, because then it's not as easy anymore to update the doveconf binary (or replace it entirely). But I'm thinking about making doveconf a long running process and deliver could ask configuration from it via UNIX socket if it's running and fallback to forking doveconf. The last possibility would be not to fork, but instead just have doveconf exec() deliver, so either something like "doveconf -e deliver -deliver-params" or if calling deliver directly it could exec() doveconf which would then exec() deliver back. Hmm. Perhaps this is actually better than forking? - %variable expansion is somewhat broken with imap/pop3, but works with deliver. The annoying thing about this is that %vars from doveconf should be expanded, but if userdb returns anything containing %vars they shouldn't be (because e.g. home directory could contain %). So either master should expand everything internally or it should somehow tell child processes about what to expand and what not. It can't really expand everything because it doesn't know all the settings that should be expanded. So that only leaves the possibility of telling child process what to expand. One possibility is to prefix each environment with e.g. 0 or 1 specifying if it should be expanded. This would break all existing postlogin scripts and in general would make it kind of ugly. Another possibility would be to have an environment that lists the settings that shouldn't be expanded. Perhaps that would work better, although if postlogin script changes/adds environments they'd also potentially have to modify that environment too. - Plugins will probably have to keep using something similar to getenv() to get their settings. It would be possible to have them use the nice new pre-filled settings structures, but that would require configuration changes. For example instead of quota=.. quota2=.. you'd have two quota {} blocks. Probably better to leave that change to v2.0. - I'm not entirely sure where all the setting verifications should go. Having them done by master when starting up is nice because it can give error messages immediately and write them to screen, instead of having to look them up from the log. Or when reloading configuration it can cancel it if the new configuration isn't ok. Maybe doveconf could do the checks. Maybe the verifications could go to all the different *settings.c files where they logically belong to, and then the build scripts would copy those functions to doveconf code where it could check all of them when the config is being read. The only annoying thing is that this then required doveconf to be run as root so that it can do all the access() etc. checks. But maybe that's not too bad.

[Dovecot] mbox to maildir batch conversion
by Mike Hobbs 02 Feb '09

02 Feb '09

Hello, I'm upgrading my mail server from UW to Dovecot and I'd like to convert from mbox to maildir. I've successfully convert myself and a few other users with the mb2md script. All is well. My question is, I have somewhere around 500 users and about 122gb of mail folders to convert (this does not include the inbox at /var/mail). mb2md needs to be run as each user to convert. Are there any programs or scripts out there that will allow me to convert everyone at the same time? I know there is a Dovecot plugin to convert mail, but we didn't want to use this option. I'm sure someone on this list was in the same situation as me, how did you handle a massive conversion? Any help or suggestions is much appreciated!

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/dovecot-1.1.10.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/dovecot-1.1.10.tar.gz.sig v1.1.9 wasn't such a great release.

HI, one of my users asked me, wether smartcieve is still available after migration from cyrus to dovecot, or not. Is this possible, because smartsieve is designed for cyrus-Imapd? Or is there something similar available for maintaining the custom user rulsets by the users? ttyl, Django

Hello all, I've configured a dovecot server in proxy mode. It seems to work well but. I've tested managesieve with squirrelmail and it's working correctly but I can't connect to cyrus sieve server : timsieved Does anybody here have configure a sieve proxy to do this ? Or is it a normal behavior and dovecot sieve proxy can't speak with cyrus sieve ? Thanks.

[Dovecot] problem with some mailboxes (failed: Is a directory)
by mikie＠x.org.pl 30 Jan '09

30 Jan '09

I have this problem with some mailboxes (actually Maildirs) on my system. After some user's activity there is following information in dovecot logs: Jan 29 16:24:28 mailserv dovecot: IMAP(username): unlink(/var/spool/mail/imap/user/username/Maildir/cur/Sent:2,ST) failed: Is a directory User can not connect to his account neither via POP3 nor IMAP. There is one workaround I know which is: rm /var/spool/mail/imap/user/username/Maildir/dovecot.index* But after some time (some activity of user) the problem comes back. Mikie

[Dovecot] dovecot-1.2-managesieve "make install" ignores Dovecot's prefix
by Steffen Kaiser 30 Jan '09

30 Jan '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I'm trying to compile dovecot-1.2-managesieve from hg repo with Dovecot v1.2 and I found that managesieve uses another "install" target/prefix than I've configured in Dovecot. Is this intentional? Because you must specify the compiled Dovecot sources, is managesieve just "loosly" connected to Dovecot so it would survive a Dovecot (minor) update, or do I need to compile managesieve each time as well? If I need to compile each time, managesive should default to install into the same directory than Dovecot, shouldn't it?

[Dovecot] managesieve/README sieve_storage doc confusion
by Steffen Kaiser 30 Jan '09

30 Jan '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, http://hg.rename-it.nl/dovecot-1.2-managesieve/file/tip/README contains the paragraphs (line 47): " mail_location = If, for some inobvious reason, the sieve_storage remains unset, the managesieve daemon uses the specification of the mail_location to find out where to store the sieve files. However, this is provided only for backwards compatibility and you should always use the sieve_storage setting in stead. Additionally, the ManageSieve service uses the following settings from the plugin section of the config file. These settings are the ones used by the Sieve plugin. sieve_dir = This specifies the path to the directory where the uploaded scripts are stored. Scripts are stored as separate files with extension .sieve, all other files are ignored when scripts are listed by a ManageSieve client. If this setting remains unspecified, the mail_location setting is used as explained above. " Because sieve_storage is not mentioned anywhere else in the document and because of this discussion: http://dovecot.markmail.org/message/kzjpwdhyqhdn53zd , I suspect that sieve_dir is the older naming of it. However, the source code uses getenv("SIEVE_DIR") in lib-cmusieve, so this assumption is probably wrong. What's the correct meaning and placement of sieve_storage and sieve_dir ?

Or was it you? Anyway, dovecot-auth doesn't know how many users are logged in so if the problem really is 21 *concurrent users* instead of n logins/ second, I find it highly unlikely that the problem is with authentication. My guess is that this has something to do with NFS. Perhaps start Dovecot with strace -tt -f dovecot and then when it's slowing down see what syscall it says is blocking.

[Dovecot] cram-md5 problem
by Richard Stockton 30 Jan '09

30 Jan '09

I just updated to dovecot 1.1.10 from 1.1.2 and now anyone using cram-md5 can't get authenticated. I am using mysql for passwords (in plain text) and home directories. Per some googling I tried to set (in /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf): # SQL database userdb sql { # Path for SQL configuration file, see doc/dovecot-sql.conf for example args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf } but that didn't help. And in any case people NOT using cram-md5 can authenticate just fine, both before and after I made that change. This worked "out of the box" under 1.1.2, but is broken now. Any ideas appreciated. Thanks. - Richard

[Dovecot] Killing Dovect, an unpleasant surprise
by Stewart Dean 30 Jan '09

30 Jan '09

When it came time to upgrade DC or replace the certificate, I would find the root instance of dovecot and do a kill -7 of it. Within 20-30 seconds, all the hundreds of DC related processes would go away, I would swap the executable or certificate/key and restart DC. Very clean and quick. Surprise. After switching from 1.0.15 to 1.1.8 and doing the kill, I found that all the imap-login instances had been inherited by the root (1) process and did not go away. Yikes! An Unpleasant Surprise. So instead of being down for a minute, I was out for a much more noticeable 5-7 minutes, while I QUICK did an awk of the ps list to give me the pids and then xarg killed them. My boss asked me if this was a pink slip notice. :( Is this The Way Things Will Be? Is there a new way to kill everything DC related quickly and cleanly? -- ==== Stewart Dean, Unix System Admin, Henderson Computer Resources Center of Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson, New York 12504 sdean(a)bard.edu voice: 845-758-7475, fax: 845-758-7035 "Resolve then, that on this very ground, with small flags waving and tinny blasts on tiny trumpets, we shall meet the enemy, and not only may he be ours, he may be us." === From the introduction to the original Pogo Papers

Hi, I'd like to do option A, but I'm not certain as to what steps to take to do so. Could you let me know where the code for this function is located, and what might need to be done to link it?

Hi Guys, I am just about to get my hands on a new blackberry mobile phone and I have done quite a bit of reading about different bits about getting the blackberry to work with Dovecot.

[Dovecot] deliver and qmail
by Tim Traver 29 Jan '09

29 Jan '09

Hi all, ok, after looking at all of the posts that I've found, and trying numerous settings, I am a little stumped as to how to set up the deliver program with qmail to get everything correct. Ultimately, I really don't want to do a lookup of the home dir if I don't have to. I'd rather specify the stuff in the .qmail-user file for that particular user to avoid the extra step. In looking in the wiki, it says for users without a lookup to use HOME=/path/to/user/homedir deliver -f $FROM_ENVELOPE but I can't do that in the .qmail file, which would normally look something like this : |/var/qmail/bin/preline -f /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -f ${SENDER:-<>} I would rather not do the master authentication socket as described for obvious reasons. is there a format in the .qmail file that I can use with deliver to achieve what I want??? Thanks, Tim.

[Dovecot] Confused about permissions needed for shared mailbox
by Thomas Hummel 28 Jan '09

28 Jan '09

Hello, let me re-state, hopefully in clearer terms, what I tried to described in a previous thread : With dovecot-1.1.8/Maildir/LDAP pass/userdb (prefetch), I'm trying to set up a Maildir ".box" shared in rw between 2 users in a "Public" namespace. I can't get it to work unless I chmod 777 everything, which obiously is not what I want. 1) am I correct thinking that the system_user userdb extra_field and unix permissions should be enough to achieve that and that ACLs is only if I want to fine tunes mailbox permissions ? 2) let's say that my public namespace prefix is Public/, that the .box/ maildir is in /path/to/public/.box and my 2 users belong to the doveshared unix group. I thought it would be enough to have drwxrws--- 3 root doveshared 4096 Jan 28 14:55 public drwxrws--- 3 root doveshared 4096 Jan 28 14:55 public/.box -rwxrws--- 1 root doveshared 0 Jan 26 18:25 public/.box/dovecot-shared provided that my prefetch userdb returns system_user, as I think the following says in dovecot-ldap.conf : pass_attrs = uid=user,userPassword=password,homeDirectory=userdb_home,,,uidNumber=userdb_uid,gidNumber=userdb_gid,shadowMax=userdb_system_user and providedt that in LDAP shadowMax: 80 (whatever value). But this doesn't seem to work. By the way : Am I supposed to have a dovecot-shared file in public as well (that is not only in public/.box) ? 3) let's say I try ACLs with the same setup (anyone <all permissions> for starters) would pass_attrs = uid=user,userPassword=password,homeDirectory=userdb_home,,,uidNumber=userdb_uid,gidNumber=userdb_gid,shadowMax=userdb_system_user.title=userdb_acl_groups and title: group1,doveshared be a correct setup ? Do I need an dovecot-acl file only in .box or in public too ? My understanding is that my setup doesn't work because for some reason, dovecot doesn't see my users secondary groups or doesnt take them into account... Any thoughts which might help ? -- Thomas Hummel | Institut Pasteur <hummel(a)pasteur.fr> | Pôle informatique - systèmes et réseau

[Dovecot] Symlink shared mailboxes and system_user extra field
by Thomas Hummel 28 Jan '09

28 Jan '09

Hello, I'm trying to set up, as explained in the wiki, shared mailboxes with symlink. I'm running dovecot-1.1.8 with LDAP pass/userdb. The Maildir layout goes like this : /courriel/boites/foobar : Maildir of user foobar (nfs) /courriel/meta/foobar : control files of user foobar (nfs) /var/dovecot/indexes : indexes (locally stored) I created : /courriel/boites/doveshared/.box/ : the Maildir I want to share /courriel/boites/foobar/.box -> /courriel/boites/doveshared/.box (symlink) /courriel/boites/foobaz/.box -> /courriel/boites/doveshared/.box (symlink) the unix and LDAP group doveshared, so /etc/group holds : doveshared:*:<gid>:foobar,foobaz the permissions on the real Maildir are ok for that group : drwxrwx--- 3 root doveshared 4096 Jan 26 18:58 /courriel/boites/doveshared drwxrwx--- 5 root doveshared 4096 Jan 26 18:58 .box (in /courriel/boites) I made the userdb (prefetch) return the system_user extra_field (for now, I'm using an used LDAP attribute - I will create a new attribute in my schema later) : pass_attrs = uid=user,userPassword=password,homeDirectory=userdb_home,,,uidNumber=userdb_uid,gidNumber=userdb_gid,shadowMax=userdb_system_user and it seems to be actually returned : Jan 27 09:34:10 munster3 dovecot: auth(default): ldap(foobar,157.99.64.42): result: uid(user)=foobar uidNumber(userdb_uid)=xxx gidNumber(userdb_gid)=xxx homeDirectory(userdb_home)=/home1/xxx/foobar userPassword(password)=<hidden> shadowMax(userdb_system_user)=380 But I can't subscribe to the mailbox : stat(/courriel/boites/doveshared/.box/tmp) failed: Permission denied (euid=xxx egid=<primary gid>) as a matter of fact, the egid seems to be the primary gid. What am I missing ? Thanks. -- Thomas Hummel | Institut Pasteur <hummel(a)pasteur.fr> | Pôle informatique - systèmes et réseau

[Dovecot] (imap) killed with signal 9 on Linux/OpenVZ VPS
by Adam Flott 28 Jan '09

28 Jan '09

I'm trying to get dovecot running on my VPS and the main imap process is receiving a SIGKILL from what I presume to be the Linux Kernel and/or OpenVZ. This happens after I login and my client(s) just sit their idling. The mailbox is empty. I'm not running out of memory. stracing the process doesn't show anything interesting... ... gettimeofday({1233024777, 844804}, {420, 0}) = 0 gettimeofday({1233024777, 844912}, NULL) = 0 poll([{fd=4, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI|POLLERR|POLLHUP|POLLNVAL}, {fd=2, events=POLLERR|POLLHUP|POLLNVAL}, {fd=0, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI|POLLERR|POLLHUP|POLLNVAL}], 3, 10000) = -1 EINTR (Interrupted system call) +++ killed by SIGKILL +++ This is on a CentOS 5.2 VPS. I haven't changed much other than installing a few packages. I've also had this exact same problem on Debian 4.0 VPS (OpenVZ) under the same machine. Turning off SSL and logging in plain old IMAP didn't change anything. Under the Debian installation I tried the latest version of dovecot (1.1.8 or so), different I/O loop methods, turning them off, on, etc. The only other reference via Google I can find to this sort of problem is: http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2007-December/027440.html But that was with the login process, whereas mine is with the imap daemon.

[Dovecot] Old Thunderbird problem - need a fix
by Marc Perkel 28 Jan '09

28 Jan '09

I've been having a Dovecot/Thunderbird problem for about a year now and I need a fix. When I restart dovecot everything is fine but as the day progresses thing start deteriorating. When I empty my trash folder it doesn't empty. I get an indication that email has arrived in my inbox by the unread message count but can't access it. Messages arrive by appear to be empty. Folders that should be empty still have message counts showing. With all of the above problems - restarting dovecot make them all go away. I am doing something unusual in that I use Exim to directly deliver (maildir) to the inbox and other folders. And I have processes that take email out of certain folders (spam learning). Whatever the problem is I think that when I restart Dovecot I'm forcing Thunderbird to reconnect. Perhaps the solution is to somehow force Thunderbird to have to reconnect every time rather than have a persistent connection? Looking for suggestions. Thanks in advance.

[Dovecot] Store sent email
by pierre.casenove＠almerys.com 28 Jan '09

28 Jan '09

Hello all, I've set up a webmail solution based on RedHat EL 5, sendmail, spamassassin, clamAV and dovecot by following this tutorial: http://www.redhat.com/magazine/025nov06/features/email/index.html I have configured everything without any problem, I can send and receive emails, using Maildir store format. Now, what I don't know how to set up: I would like to store the emails sent by the users in a dedicated store (Like Sent Emails in many webmails).... and I've got no idea on how to do this! By googling a little, I found this thread ( http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2007-April/021447.html) where a plugin is mentionned. Has it been developped or is there another solution? I'm using dovecot 1.0.7, shipped with RHEL 5 distribution. I am really discovering all the products around the email so I'm a bit confused. Thanks a lot for your answer, Pierre

[Dovecot] No Spaces in Directory names

How can I make it so my users can not create folders with spaces in them? Or allow them to create such folders but rewrite them on the hardrive with a "_" or some other symbol. I have looked threw the wiki but couldn't find anything about folder name restrictions or folder name rewriting (rewrite the space to a "_"). Im having problems with some of the expire and compress scripts when it hits these types of folders.

[Dovecot] Dovecot discards mail over quota
by Gary V 27 Jan '09

27 Jan '09

I'm new to Dovecot, using 1.1.8 and I just wanted to verify that what I am observing is the intended behavior. I'm using Maildir++ quota. When a message is delivered to a mailbox that cannot accept the message because it would place them over the quota limit, deliver states to the MTA that the messsage was delivered successfully (example using postfix): Jan 17 12:05:31 msa postfix/pipe[13983]: 088C5B9D47: to=<test(a)example.com>, relay=dovecot, delay=0.72, delays=0.34/0.02/0/0.36, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered via dovecot service) But in actuality the mail is discarded (dropped). Then a bounce is created stating the mail was rejected: Your message to <test(a)example.com> was automatically rejected: Quota exceeded (mailbox for user is full). Question: is it possible (without changing code) to alter this to where deliver would instead tempfail or something. Somehow it seems wrong to me to tell the MTA that everything is good, and then silently discard messages - regardless of the fact dovecot creates a bounce. This is not necessarily ideal either, but I _am_ wondering if this is configurable or not. deliver(test(a)example.com): 2009-01-17 12:05:31 Info: msgid=<1293474859.20090117120812(a)example.com>: save failed to INBOX: Quota exceeded (mailbox for user is full) deliver(test(a)example.com): 2009-01-17 12:05:31 Info: sieve runtime error: Keep: Generic Error deliver(test(a)example.com): 2009-01-17 12:05:31 Error: sieve_execute_bytecode(/var/sieve/global.sievec) failed deliver(test(a)example.com): 2009-01-17 12:05:31 Info: msgid=<1293474859.20090117120812(a)example.com>: rejected: Quota exceeded (mailbox for user is full) deliver(garyv(a)example.com): 2009-01-17 12:05:31 Info: msgid=<dovecot-1232219131-401523-0@msa>: saved mail to INBOX -- Gary V

[Dovecot] behavior of dovecot with Openldap
by Masaharu Kawada 27 Jan '09

27 Jan '09

Dear team, I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'd like to know the behavior of dovecot in a particular stuation. My questions are as follows. In /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf, 'hosts=' field is the one which can be used to specify availabled ldap server to access from the clients to authorize. And also sevral ldap servers can be specified in 'hosts =' field as shown like below. hosts = ldap-server1.example.com ldap-server2.example.com ※both server have the same configuration and available to replication ldap-server1(master) to ldap-server2(slave). If this is right, how does dovecot know which ldap server is currently used? and if the master dies, how does dovecot know and switch to slave one? In addition, which one is the exact behavior of dovecot in case master server dies? 1. only swithcing to the slave server 2. switching to the slave server, and once the master server is reactive then switch back to the master server automatically OS：RHEL4 U3 kernel 2.6.9-34.ELsmp openldap-2.2.13-12.el4 Thanks in advance, Masaharu Kawada ------------------- Masaharu Kawada Associate Global Support Engineer Red Hat K K Ebisu Neonato 8F 1-18 Ebisu 4-chome, Shibuya-ku Tokyo 150-0013, Japan Direct: +81-3-5798-8482

[Dovecot] FOLDER INTERNAL DATA (uw pine header)
by Charles Gregory 26 Jan '09

26 Jan '09

Hello! I run Dovecot on CentOS 4 (dovecot-1.1.4-0_81.el4), and I *also* run the "Alpine" mail system that comes with that OS. Alpine still writes out the 'FOLDER INTERNAL DATA' pseudo-message at the beginning of each user's mbox, but dovecot does not. I make use of that record as a simle/quick way to verify when a user actually last read their e-mail (for administrative purposes, identifying stale/unused accounts), so is there any way to configure/command dovecot to write (or update) these hidden messages? (Note: I tried looking in the archives, but most references seemed to be about this message being a 'side effect' of transferring *from* UW IMAP, and how to get 'rid' of it. Not what I need. :) Apologies if this was covered before in a different thread.) - Charles

[Dovecot] uint_cmp bug
by Mike Abbott 26 Jan '09

26 Jan '09

In reviewing the differences between 1.1.8 and 1.1.9 I saw a probable bug in the new function uint_cmp() in src/lib-storage/index/maildir/ maildir-sync-index.c: if (*i1 < *i2) return -1; else if (*i1 > *i2) return -1; else return 0; The second case should return 1 not -1.

[Dovecot] Released ManageSieve v0.10.5 for Dovecot v1.1.9
by Stephan Bosch 26 Jan '09

26 Jan '09

Hello Dovecot users, Because there was a crash bug in the ManageSieve v0.10.4 login daemon, I made a new release of the ManageSieve service for Dovecot v1.1. This release includes two other small fixes as well. Changelog v0.10.5: - Fixed a segfault bug in the authentication time-out. Bug report and trace provided by Wolfgang Friebel. - Fixed maximum permissions for uploaded scripts; was 0777. This was shielded however by the default umask (not documented to be configurable), so the actual permissions would never have been 0777. - Fixed handling of ~/ in use of mail-data for script location The following files are released: ManageSieve package: http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.1/dovecot-1.1-managesieve-0.10.5.tar.gz http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.1/dovecot-1.1-managesieve-0.10.5.tar.gz.s… ManageSieve patch: http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.1/dovecot-1.1.9-managesieve-0.10.5.diff.gz http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.1/dovecot-1.1.9-managesieve-0.10.5.diff.g… Have fun testing the new releases and don't hesitate to notify me when there are problems.

[Dovecot] userdb didn't return a home directory with v1.1.7
by Ivars Strazdiņš 26 Jan '09

26 Jan '09

Hi all, I am running Dovecot v1.1.7 in a relatively quiet and calm environment. Suddenly overnight cron job has started throwing out errors like: /usr/sbin/dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/lib/dovecot/expire-tool Error: userdb(user1(a)mail.example) didn't return a home directory Error: userdb(user2(a)mail.example) didn't return a home directory Indeed, running this command produces: ------------------------- $ sudo /usr/sbin/dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/lib/dovecot/expire-tool --test Error: userdb(user1(a)mail.example) didn't return a home directory Info: User lookup failed: user1(a)mail.example Error: userdb(user2(a)mail.example) didn't return a home directory Info: User lookup failed: user2(a)mail.example ------------------------- Yet these mailboxes are valid, corresponding users can login, send and receive mail. Other mailboxes are OK, too. Where to to start looking? I found that similar error message with v1.1.6 is fixed in v1.1.7, but I am running v.1.1.7 already. Please see dovecot configuration below.

[Dovecot] Shared Mailboxes (symlink) and kmail: known issues?
by Wilhelm Meier 26 Jan '09

26 Jan '09

Hi, are there any known issues with symlinked-shared-mailboxes and kmail? I use virtual users (LDAP), so there are no unix-permissions related problems here: all mailboxes are owned by the local user vmail. Each user maildir has some symlinks to shared mailboxes. This works fine if I use squirrelmail as a MUA. kmail instead seems to have some problems: if I save a mail into the shared-folder, the other users are seeing this new mail almost immediately. But if I delete(!) a mail from the shared-folder, the list of the other kmails remains untouch. Refreshing does nothing. I have to close kmail and restart. Is this related to some sort of wrong config of the shared mailboxes or is this a (known) dovecot <-> kmail problem? -- Wilhelm

[Dovecot] Shared mailboxes support status
by Thomas Hummel 26 Jan '09

26 Jan '09

Hello Timo, I'm running dovecot-1.1.8 and I'm about to play with namespaces and shared mailboxes. I've read on the list that the Kolab people did contribute to that, and I read at http://dovecot.org/doc/NEWS-1.2 "+ Full support for shared mailboxes and IMAP ACL extension." I'd like to know the differences between shared mailboxes support between 1.1. and 1.2 branches and if it may be considered "safe" to use shared mailboxes on a production server running 1.1.8+ dovecot version (i.e. is it working and how, compared to the upcoming 1.2 release). I guess part of the answer is in the diffences between shared and public namespaces handling. Thanks -- Thomas Hummel | Institut Pasteur <hummel(a)pasteur.fr> | Pôle informatique - systèmes et réseau

[Dovecot] get maildir current quota usage from external program
by Allison Vollmann 26 Jan '09

26 Jan '09

Hello, i want to get the maildir current quota usage of an user, but i'd know what is the better way to do. in imap clients my quota usage, in example, show: 505KB, but if i sum only the size of each message from Maildir, i get total: 440KB, trying to use real and apparent block size but the sum differs from value showed in imap client. is quota usage based on why, have another way to do this? thanks

[Dovecot] Postfix and Dovecot
by Leonardo Coelho 26 Jan '09

26 Jan '09

Hi Everybody, I'm mount two failover servers which use Postfix and Dovecot but the hostname of the machines r diferent: first node # uname -n # mail secound node #uname -n #mail2 So far so good, the real problem is that the e-mail file name on server is like this: 1232449377.P31789Q0M963611.mail2 and when I using the server called mail the file stay like this: 1232449377.P31789Q0M963611.mail I'm using drbd disk for the mailboxes and when I'm using the server called mail the files with mail2 on the end is not read for the dovecot when the user turn on the mail client but if I change the end from mail2 to mail that's ok the dovecot can read. How can I make dovecot read both files or any name on the end?

[Dovecot] Dovecot upgrade broke per-user Sieve scripts
by John Reese 25 Jan '09

25 Jan '09

Hi all, I'm migrating my private mail server from Dovecot 1.0.10 to Dovecot 1.1.4 (both the latest package in Ubuntu Hardy and Intrepid, resp.). I'm using Postfix with Postfixadmin virtual users , passing mail to Dspam, which in turn passes email to the Dovecot LDA. The relevant configuration section is attached below. When running on the old version of Dovecot, the LDA correctly executed either the user's personal sieverc script, or the global sieverc, as expected. However, after the upgrade to 1.1.4, Dovecot will not execute any per-user Sieve scripts, although the configuration and file permissions hasn't changed. I've added debug logging to Dovecot, and the relevant portions of the log file are also attached below. What am I missing here? Why can't cmusieve find the user's script? Did the configuration for Sieve change? I've read and re-read the Dovecot wiki page for Sieve, and I can't see why my configuration should be causing any troubles. All help or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you. ### dovecot.conf protocols = imap imaps disable_plaintext_auth = no mail_debug = yes log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log mail_location = maildir:/srv/mail/%u/Maildir first_valid_uid = 900 ssl_cert_file = /srv/ssl/dovecot.pem ssl_key_file = /srv/ssl/leetcode.net.key auth default { mechanisms = plain login passdb sql { args = /srv/etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql.conf } userdb sql { args = /srv/etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql.conf } socket listen { master { path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode = 0600 user = vmail } client { path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode = 0600 user = postfix group = postfix } } } protocol lda { log_path = /srv/mail/dovecot-deliver.log auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master postmaster_address = postmaster(a)leetcode.net mail_plugins = cmusieve sieve_global_path = /srv/mail/sieverc plugin { sieve = /srv/mail/%u/sieverc } } ### end dovecot.conf ### dovecot.log deliver(jreese(a)leetcode.net): Jan 24 14:30:40 Info: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda deliver(jreese(a)leetcode.net): Jan 24 14:30:40 Info: Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda/lib90_cmusieve_plugin.so deliver(jreese(a)leetcode.net): Jan 24 14:30:40 Info: auth input: jreese(a)leetcode.net deliver(jreese(a)leetcode.net): Jan 24 14:30:40 Info: auth input: maildir=jreese(a)leetcode.net/ deliver(jreese(a)leetcode.net): Jan 24 14:30:40 Info: auth input: uid=900 deliver(jreese(a)leetcode.net): Jan 24 14:30:40 Info: auth input: gid=900 deliver(jreese(a)leetcode.net): Jan 24 14:30:40 Info: maildir: data=/srv/mail/jreese(a)leetcode.net/Maildir deliver(jreese(a)leetcode.net): Jan 24 14:30:40 Info: maildir++: root=/srv/mail/jreese(a)leetcode.net/Maildir, index=, cont> deliver(jreese(a)leetcode.net): Jan 24 14:30:40 Info: cmusieve: /srv/mail/%u/sieverc doesn't exist deliver(jreese(a)leetcode.net): Jan 24 14:30:40 Info: cmusieve: Using sieve path: /srv/mail/sieverc deliver(jreese(a)leetcode.net): Jan 24 14:30:40 Info: cmusieve: Executing script /srv/mail/sievercc ### end dovecot.log -- John Reese LeetCode.net

[Dovecot] v1.1.9 released
by Timo Sirainen 23 Jan '09

23 Jan '09

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/dovecot-1.1.9.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/dovecot-1.1.9.tar.gz.sig Lots of small dbox fixes, hopefully migrations from Maildir are now working correctly. I'm also planning on releasing v1.2.beta1 in a few days. + Sending SIGUSR2 to dovecot-auth now also logs statistics about cache inserts. This could help figuring out auth cache size. + deliver: Added rejection_subject setting, which is used for rejected mails. + pop3: Prevent clients from looping forever trying to fetch an expunged message. + If login process crashes, log the IP address that (maybe) caused it. + If core dump limit is 0, add "core dumps disabled" to startup log line. + Log better messages for "Permission denied" errors - mbox: Fixed assert-crash with pop3_lock_session=yes - dbox: Fixes to handling maildir-converted files. - Auth cache wasn't working correctly for all fields (e.g. allow_nets) with blocking passdbs (e.g. mysql). - pgsql: Handle reconnecting to server without failing auth lookups. - Berkeley DB memory/resource leak fixes. - maildir: Fixes to handling over 26 keywords.

[Dovecot] Sieve regex match problem
by Andy Howell 22 Jan '09

22 Jan '09

I'm trying to make a regex to match common mailing list addresses and file messages to corresponding folders. I'm using sieve-test to try and understand what is happening. The sieve script is: require [ "fileinto", "regex", "variables" ]; if header :regex ["Sender"] ["(.*>[ \\t]*,?[ \\t]*)?([^-@]*)-([^-@]*)(-bounces)?@antlr.org"] { fileinto "${0} :: 1:${1} 2:${2} 3:${3} 4:${4} 5:${5} 6:${6} 7:${7}"; } The email contains: Sender: antlr-interest-bounces(a)antlr.org I'm trying to form a folder from the first two parts of the sender. In the real script, that will do a "fileto antlr.interest;" Running sieve-test, I get: * store message in folder: antlr-interest-bounces(a)antlr.org :: 1: 2:antlr 3: 4:interest 5: 6:-bounces 7: I don't understand why parts 3 and 5 are empty. From the regex grouping, I expected Part 2 "antlr" Part 3 "interest" Part 4 "-bounces" The regex groups break done as: 1: (.*>[ \\t]*,?[ \\t]*)? - match leading name, comma or spaces 2: ([^-@]*) - match first part: 'antlr' in his case - - Hyphen between parts 3: ([^-@]*) - match second part: interest in this case 4: (-bounces)? - When cc'd, -bounces part isn't used The same regex tested with perl works as I expected. Without the first group of the regex '(.*>[ \\t]*,?[ \\t]*)?', it works correctly. That group isn't getting matched anyway, so it shouldn't matter. This is with 1.2alpha5. What am I missing? Thanks, Andy

[Dovecot] Migration question: .INBOX?
by Peter Lindgren 22 Jan '09

22 Jan '09

Hi, Not much left to fix in my migration script (moving between two dovecot servers). However, I discovered a mail folder .INBOX without cur, new and tmp subfolders, and the .imap.index files were rather old (feb 2006). Is this an old relic from early dovecot versions (I once ran 0.99 on this old server)? Or is it old client software? There are no data in it.

[Dovecot] Intermittent "certificate cannot be verified" error
by Guy 22 Jan '09

22 Jan '09

Hi guys, Not sure where to start looking for this. I've got a few users getting intermittent "certificate cannot be verified" messages when connecting through SSL to Dovecot. Connections go through haproxy to Dovecot 1.1.8 on the back end servers. I've got verbose_ssl and auth_debug enabled. All I'm seeing on the logs for the time the users reported the error is this: Jan 21 23:30:51 mink dovecot: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=28811 Jan 21 23:30:51 mink dovecot: IMAP(user1(a)domain1.net): Disconnected in IDLE bytes=73/4235 Jan 21 23:24:23 mink dovecot: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=28811 Jan 21 23:24:23 mink dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=x.x.x.x, lip=x.x.x.x Jan 21 23:24:23 mink dovecot: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=28811 Jan 21 23:24:24 mink dovecot: IMAP(user2(a)domain1.net): Disconnected in IDLE bytes=89/920 Since it's so intermittent I'm not sure where to start. Since there are no real errors in the Dovecot logs I'm suspecting that haproxy is perhaps not routing every packet correctly leading to Dovecot not getting all the data needed for the connection. Are there any other possibilities I've missed?

[Dovecot] Courier->dovecot migration script
by Warren Baker 22 Jan '09

22 Jan '09

HI All, We have the latest Dovecot 1.1.6 running and I need to migrate some POP3 users over from Courier to Dovecot and would need to convert the courierpop3dsizelist to maintain the UIDs. I just need to confirm that the script (http://www.dovecot.org/tools/courier-dovecot-migrate.pl) only works for Dovecot v1.0 and not for v1.1? As the dovecout-uidlist file that is created (by the script) is not in the same format as dovecot-uidlist file that is created by the 1.1.6 server. Thanks, Warren

Hello folks An Apple user here have troubles between Dovecot and its Apple mail client that presents ALL attachements inline inside emails instead of "Attachements" the problem occurs only when using IMAP , when using POP3 attachements appears as they are supposed to do. I would like to know if other Apple users in this list has experienced and solved that problem , the machine in running MacOS 10.5 Thanks a lot. -- Cordialement Frank Bonnet ESIEE Paris

[Dovecot] docecot managesieve global filter, service name
by Wolfgang.Friebel＠desy.de 21 Jan '09

21 Jan '09

I do have two questions related to the managesieve setup in dovecot 1) I did setup a global sieve filter, that is invoked if a user has no other sieve filter. If a user installs a sieve filter and activates it (PUTSCRIPT, SETACTIVE) then the sieve filter gets compiled (.sievec) and deliver does use it. If I want to deactivate the filter (SETACTIVE "") only the symlink (to the .sieve script) is removed, the .sievec file remains intact. On the other hand the dovecot documentation reads (http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve) To stop using sieve, both the .sieve source file and the compiled .sievec file must be deleted How can I let a user switch between the globally installed sieve filter and an own filter. Activation seems to be ok, but deactivation would not result in the switch back to the global filter if I believe the docs. 2) To use the SASL authentication with managesieve the name of the service has to be given. In the managesieve RFC http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-sieve-managesieve-09 I can read (page13): The service name specified by this protocol's profile of SASL is "sieve". On the other hand I can find in managesieve-0.10.4 in client-authenticate.c #define MANAGESIEVE_SERVICE_NAME "managesieve" The name is important for the Kerberos5 auth I am doing, as I have to provide a service key for managesieve.hostname@REALM instead of sieve.hostname@REALM. Currently I have adapted my auth to the "managesieve" service name but maybe that should be changed. My Installation: dovecot 1.1.8 patched for dovecot-1.1-managesieve-0.10.4 Authentication using SASL (GSSAPI), contained in the perl Module Net::ManageSieve on CPAN. -- Wolfgang Friebel Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY Phone/Fax: +49 33762 77372/216 Platanenallee 6 Mail: Wolfgang.Friebel AT desy.de D-15738 Zeuthen Germany

[Dovecot] Questions regarding Dovecot's POP3 implementation
by Dale Gallagher 21 Jan '09

21 Jan '09

Hi all I'm considering moving over my POP3 service from qmail-pop3d to Dovecot for the following reasons: - Support for Maildir++ which I have yet to implement - Already using Dovecot for IMAP, so makes sense i.t.o Maildir++ - Support for SQL based user authentication My primary concerns are performance and security. Before I go down that route of migrating away from qmail-pop3d, I'd appreciate some answers and feedback on the following. There is mention of the Maildir filename extension W= for virtual file size here: http://wiki.dovecot.org/POP3Server However, I can't find any MDAs which support writing the filename in this format. Maildrop seems to support S= only? If Dovecot is only able to read W= in the filename, I would imagine that it might make sense to have an MDA like Maildrop write the message to disk, replacing all LF with CR+LF and finally write the filename with identical S= and W= filename extensions included? Example: Maildrop replaces all LFs with CR+LF in incoming message. Maildrop writes message as: 1035478339.27041_118.foo.org,S=1000,W=1000 (where 1000 is the file's RFC822.SIZE) Then Dovecot doesn't have to calculate virtual message sizes. I've also found this thread: http://markmail.org/message/oznf2f7m7hvsxqn6 ... which suggests changing mail_get_virtual_size to mail_get_physical_size in src/pop3/client.c Would this read the size from S=, or do a stat()? 5. Does anyone use Dovecot pop3 service on thousands of mailboxes and if so, what specific tweaks / setup do you use? Thanks Dale

Is there any reason not to make (for v1.2) 1) deliver -e behavior the defaut? 2) not even provide the option for the current default (have deliver send bounces itself)? The only reason it even works like it does currently is because I just mostly copied what Cyrus did.

[Dovecot] Active Directory authentication

Hello all I would like to ask if there is adequate mechanism to authenticate users through POP3 against Active Directory by Outlook Express so that users will authenticate seamlessly using logon credentials.

Thanks, -Noah ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Our log files just show this: dovecot: Jan 20 14:09:20 Info: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, lip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx dovecot: Jan 20 14:09:20 Info: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, lip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx dovecot: Jan 20 14:09:21 Info: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=14706 dovecot: Jan 20 14:09:21 Info: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=14707 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our dovecot -n is: # 1.1.8: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf # OS: FreeBSD 6.2-RC2 i386 log_path: /var/log/dovecot info_log_path: /var/log/dovecot protocols: imap pop3 ssl_disable: yes verbose_ssl: yes 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 first_valid_gid: 0 mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir mail_debug: yes mail_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_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 imap_client_workarounds(default): delay-newmail outlook-idle netscape- eoh tb-extra-mailbox-sep imap_client_workarounds(imap): delay-newmail outlook-idle netscape-eoh tb-extra-mailbox-sep imap_client_workarounds(pop3): auth default: verbose: yes debug: yes debug_passwords: yes passdb: driver: passwd-file args: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.passwd userdb: driver: passwd-file args: username_format=%n /usr/local/etc/dovecot.passwd

[Dovecot] Move from 1.0.rc29 to 1.1.7?
by Peter Lindgren 21 Jan '09

21 Jan '09

Hello! I am moving my mail from the old server with 1.0.rc29 to a brand new server with 1.1.7. I use Maildir in both servers. A few questions: 1) The new server has another name, can I just copy the mail files as-is, will the server name in the file names matter? 2) The new server has a different architecture and different endian, so I plan not to copy the index and cache files; they seem to have become broken from time to time in the old server anyway. Dovecot will also re-create them when needed. Ok? 3) 1.0.rc29 did not store the message size in the file name as later versions. When will Dovecot do the check and rename the files to include the message size? There are some folders with quite large number of messages, the largest is some 45,000 messages. TIA, /Peter -- Peter Lindgren http://www.norrskenkonsult.com

[Dovecot] Dovecot optimisation
by Proskurin Kirill 20 Jan '09

20 Jan '09

Hello all. We start to use Dovecot at our email production but it runs not such fast as we expect. We use Dell 2950 with 4GbRAM at FreeBSD-7.0-p9 - load avarage never upper a 0.5 We have about 500 clients most of it use Outlook 2007 via IMAP. We run in this problems: 1) Sync of imap folder is really slow(I think it is Outlook problem) 2) Time after time we got Sync error from outlook 3) Time after time our monitoring system says what IMAP port not answer in 10 sec. In real life it start to answer in 15-20 sec what is not really good - client thinks what server don`t work. If I restart dovecot - it start to answer in 1-3 sec. I think problem in my conf, may be I need tune it? *dovecot -n don`t give full conf so i use this:* mail# grep -v '#' /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf | egrep -v '^$' base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/ protocols = imap imaps pop3 pop3s managesieve listen = * disable_plaintext_auth = yes shutdown_clients = yes log_path = /var/log/dovecot/dovecot.log info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot/dovecot.log log_timestamp = "%b %d %H:%M:%S " syslog_facility = mail ssl_disable = no ssl_cert_file = /usr/local/etc/certs/fxclub_org.crt ssl_key_file = /usr/local/etc/certs/fxclub_org.key ssl_ca_file = /usr/local/etc/certs/GlobalSignCA.crt ssl_verify_client_cert = no ssl_parameters_regenerate = 168 ssl_cipher_list = ALL:!LOW:!SSLv2 verbose_ssl = no login_dir = /var/run/dovecot/login login_user = dovecot login_process_size = 64 login_process_per_connection = yes login_processes_count = 10 login_max_processes_count = 128 login_greeting = Dovecot ready. login_log_format_elements = user=<%u> method=%m rip=%r lip=%l %c login_log_format = %$: %s mail_location = maildir:/var/spool/dovecot/domains/%d/%n/ mail_uid = dmail mail_gid = dmail mail_privileged_group = mail mail_full_filesystem_access = no mail_debug = no mail_log_prefix = "%Us(%u): " mail_log_max_lines_per_sec = 10 mmap_disable = no dotlock_use_excl = yes fsync_disable = no mail_nfs_storage = no mail_nfs_index = no lock_method = fcntl mail_drop_priv_before_exec = no verbose_proctitle = yes first_valid_uid = 500 first_valid_gid = 0 max_mail_processes = 512 mail_process_size = 256 mail_max_keyword_length = 50 mail_cache_min_mail_count = 0 mailbox_idle_check_interval = 30 mail_save_crlf = no maildir_stat_dirs = no maildir_copy_with_hardlinks = yes maildir_copy_preserve_filename = no mbox_read_locks = fcntl mbox_write_locks = dotlock fcntl mbox_lock_timeout = 300 mbox_dotlock_change_timeout = 120 mbox_min_index_size = 0 protocol imap { login_executable = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login mail_executable = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap imap_max_line_length = 65536 mail_max_userip_connections = 10 mail_plugins = quota imap_quota autocreate mail_plugin_dir = /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap login_greeting_capability = yes imap_logout_format = bytes=%i/%o imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail tb-extra-mailbox-sep } protocol pop3 { login_executable = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login mail_executable = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3 pop3_enable_last = no pop3_lock_session = no pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv pop3_logout_format = top=%t/%p, retr=%r/%b, del=%d/%m, size=%s mail_max_userip_connections = 3 mail_plugins = quota mail_plugin_dir = /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3 pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh } protocol lda { postmaster_address = postmaster(a)fxclub.org hostname = mail.fxclub.org mail_plugins = cmusieve quota mail_plugin_dir = /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lda quota_full_tempfail = yes deliver_log_format = msgid=%m: %$ log_path = /var/log/dovecot/deliver.log info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot/deliver.log sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail rejection_reason = Your message to <%t> was automatically rejected:%n%r auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master sieve_global_path = /var/spool/dovecot/global.sieve } protocol managesieve { listen = *:2000 login_executable = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/managesieve-login mail_executable = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/managesieve managesieve_max_line_length = 65536 sieve_storage = % sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve mail_location = managesieve_implementation_string = dovecot } auth_executable = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-auth auth_process_size = 256 auth_cache_size = 0 auth_cache_ttl = 3600 auth_cache_negative_ttl = 3600 auth_username_chars = abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ01234567890.-_@ auth_username_format = %Lu auth_verbose = yes auth_debug = no auth_debug_passwords = no auth_worker_max_count = 100 auth_failure_delay = 2 auth default { mechanisms = plain login passdb ldap { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot-ldap.conf } userdb ldap { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot-ldap.conf } user = dovecot-auth count = 1 ssl_require_client_cert = no socket listen { master { path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode = 0600 user = dmail } client { path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-client mode = 0660 user = exim } } } dict { } plugin { quota = maildir quota_rule = *:storage=1024M quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=1256M quota_rule3 = SPAM:ignore quota_warning = storage=95%% /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh 95 quota_warning2 = storage=80%% /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh 80 autocreate = Trash autocreate2 = Sent autocreate3 = Spam autosubscribe = Trash autosubscribe2 = Sent autosubscribe3 = Spam } -- Best regards, Proskurin Kirill

[Dovecot] Errmsgs b4 and after migration DC V1.0.15 to V1.1.8
by Stewart Dean 20 Jan '09

20 Jan '09

Last Wednesday at 12:21 I made this switch, which seemed to be uneventful. In any case, no user has reported problems since the migration. Not content to leave well enough alone, this morning I scanned the syslog and maillog for dovecot related errors. What I found was that: Before the Migration=========================== I saw a lot of SSL errors that look like this: > Jan 14 11:49:23 mercury mail:warn|warning dovecot: imap-login: SSL_read() syscall failed: Connection reset by peer [69.180.200.184] > Jan 14 11:52:28 mercury mail:warn|warning dovecot: imap-login: SSL_read() syscall failed: Connection reset by peer [68.6.82.45] Which l took to be breakin attempts of some sort, except that I haven't seen any since the migration! After the migration==================================== I see errors like this: > Jan 14 12:21:45 mercury mail:err|error dovecot: IMAP(eg115): Corrupted index cache file /var/dcindx/eg115/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.cache: Broken MIME parts for mail UID 1934 > Jan 14 12:21:46 mercury mail:err|error dovecot: IMAP(alexande): Corrupted index cache file /var/dcindx/alexande/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.cache: Broken MIME parts for mail UID 132641 > Jan 14 12:21:46 mercury mail:err|error dovecot: IMAP(ls454): Corrupted index cache file /var/dcindx/ls454/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.cache: Broken MIME parts for mail UID 47 > Jan 14 12:21:46 mercury mail:err|error dovecot: IMAP(tr489): Corrupted index cache file /var/dcindx/tr489/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.cache: Broken MIME parts for mail UID 1 > Jan 14 12:21:54 mercury mail:err|error dovecot: IMAP(bh265): Corrupted index cache file /var/dcindx/bh265/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.cache: Broken MIME parts for mail UID 2 > Jan 14 12:22:01 mercury mail:err|error dovecot: IMAP(crouch): Corrupted index cache file /var/dcindx/crouch/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.cache: Broken MIME parts for mail UID 4863 > It appears that this error appears the first time a folder is referenced, then not again (I think but am not absolutely positive). Did the indexing method/format change in some way that would cause this (and Dovecot heals itself!) ? Is there any continuing problem inherent in this that needs to be dealt with?

[Dovecot] "userdb didn't return a home directory" with v1.1.7

Hi all, I am running Dovecot v1.1.7 in a relatively quiet and calm environment. Suddenly overnight cron job started throwing out errors like: /usr/sbin/dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/lib/dovecot/expire-tool Error: userdb(user1(a)mail.example) didn't return a home directory Error: userdb(user2(a)mail.example) didn't return a home directory Indeed, running this command produces: ------------------------- $ sudo /usr/sbin/dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/lib/dovecot/expire-tool --test Error: userdb(user1(a)mail.example) didn't return a home directory Info: User lookup failed: user1(a)mail.example Error: userdb(user2(a)mail.example) didn't return a home directory Info: User lookup failed: user2(a)mail.example ------------------------- Yet these mailboxes are valid, corresponding users can login, send and receive mail. Other mailboxes are OK, too. Where to to start looking? I found that similar error message with v1.1.6 is fixed in v1.1.7, but I am running v.1.1.7 already. Please see dovecot configuration attached. Thank you for your time, Ivars

[Dovecot] checkpassword auth issues
by Tim Traver 20 Jan '09

20 Jan '09

Hi, ok, I'm am developing a new solution that includes dovecot, and will be wanting to use the latest sieve implementation, so I have chosen to start with 1.2 as the base. I had a working install of 1.1.8 installed, and got a checkpassword setup working properly with it to authenticate a user. I used the passdb to call checkpassword, and the prefetch userdb to tell it to use the values that I sent back from the checkpassword script... I compiled and installed 1.2.alpha5, and now my checkpassword does not seem to be working, and I can't figure out why. If I go back and install 1.1.8, it all works again... here is the dovecot -n : [root@mta3 /local/logs]# dovecot -n # 1.2.alpha5: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf # OS: FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE i386 log_path: /local/logs/dovecot.errors protocols: imap imaps pop3 pop3s disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login verbose_proctitle: yes first_valid_uid: 100 mail_uid: 100 mail_gid: 100 mail_location: maildir:%h/Maildir mail_debug: yes mmap_disable: yes mail_nfs_storage: yes mail_nfs_index: yes mail_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_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_client_workarounds(default): pop3_client_workarounds(imap): pop3_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh auth default: username_translation: %@ username_format: %Lu verbose: yes debug: yes debug_passwords: yes passdb: driver: checkpassword args: /bin/checkpassword userdb: driver: prefetch and here is a snip of the logs that I get when trying to log in : dovecot: Jan 19 11:37:47 Info: auth(default): client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=imap secured lip=209.132.1.203 rip=209.132.9.162 lport=993 rport=1053 dovecot: Jan 19 11:37:47 Info: auth(default): client out: CONT 1 dovecot: Jan 19 11:37:47 Info: auth(default): client in: CONT 1 AHRpbUBtdGEzLnNjYWxlZHN5c3RlbXMuY29tAENvbGRTdW4x dovecot: Jan 19 11:37:47 Info: auth(default): checkpassword(tim(a)mta3.scaledsystems.com,209.132.9.162): execute: /bin/checkpassword /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/checkpassword-reply dovecot: Jan 19 11:37:47 Info: auth(default): checkpassword(tim(a)mta3.scaledsystems.com,209.132.9.162): Received input: user=tim(a)mta3.scaledsystems.com userdb_home=/home/mailboxes/data/30/tim(a)mta3.scaledsystems.com userdb_uid=100 userdb_gid=100 dovecot: Jan 19 11:37:47 Info: auth(default): checkpassword(tim(a)mta3.scaledsystems.com,209.132.9.162): Received no input dovecot: Jan 19 11:37:47 Info: auth(default): checkpassword(tim(a)mta3.scaledsystems.com,209.132.9.162): exit_status=2 dovecot: Jan 19 11:37:47 Error: auth(default): checkpassword(tim(a)mta3.scaledsystems.com,209.132.9.162): Child 43345 exited with status 2 As you can see, the checkpassword routine is indeed sending outthe userdb_home variable as well as the other necessary variables. Is it possible that checks for the return code from calling the checkpassword script have changed between the versions???

[Dovecot] Reject message if user is over quota. 2/3 solution for Postfix w/ PostgreSQL
by Pascal Volk 19 Jan '09

19 Jan '09

Hi, according to the both discussions in the last few days I've tried to find a solution for Postfix with a PostgreSQL back-end. Its working nice for regular recipient addresses like user(a)example.com and addresses with an extension like user+foo(a)example.com. Alias addresses are currently ignored. * An alias may expand into multiple destinations.

[Dovecot] Autocreate plugin
by Proskurin Kirill 19 Jan '09

19 Jan '09

Hello. I found what if you have a something like this: autocreate = Trash autocreate2 = Sent autocreate3 = Spam *Then I delete autocreate2 string* and... autocreate3 will not work. If I add autocreate2 - all work well. Yes it is seems to be right what they all must go after each otherm but if i have a 20 or 30 autocreate folders and i want to delete autocreate2 for example - all other from 3-20 will not work. For me it is seems like a bug. I think better to remove numbers from this plugin at all. -- Best regards, Proskurin Kirill

[Dovecot] autocreate "bug" with 1.2 solved
by Robert Schetterer 19 Jan '09

19 Jan '09

Hi Timo i found "the bug" with autocreate in dovecot 1.2 last weeks i tested a lot with namespaces i finally declared shared namespace before private namespace in dovecot.conf by doing a lot of copy paste namespace test variants getting autocreate to work i finally copied my private namespace declaration above the shared namespace in dovecot.conf and now its working. So it simple autocreate parses the dovecot.conf from begin and uses the first namespace found in dovecot.conf , if that namespace doesnt match its going do log namespace not found in the log and stop working so its by design ,not really a bug , but it should dokumented elsewhere if you wont fix that behavior in the future -- Best Regards MfG Robert Schetterer Germany/Munich/Bavaria

[Dovecot] Default mbox file ownership and permissions with static userdb

Hi there! I'm using Dovecot 1.1.7 in a simple setup with a static userdb: userdb: driver: static args: uid=50018 gid=50019 home=/home/dovemail When my users create folders via IMAP, the ownership of the mbox file is user dovemail, group dovemail, and permissions are 600. I'd like this to change to user dovemail, group doveusers, permissions 660, but I can't figure out a way to do it. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance. -- Cheers, Christian

[Dovecot] Possible Bug segnalation
by Claudio Prono 18 Jan '09

18 Jan '09

Hi to all, Today i have manually copied at least 250 mail from a mailbox to another and i have encountered some problems with dovecot. When finished to download all the messages, via pop3, at the next check mail dovecot give me that error: dovecot: Jan 15 10:59:55 Info: POP3(michele(a)domain.net): Mailbox init failed top=0/0, retr=0/0, del=0/29, size=932800 Then, the messages from the pop server was deleted, to the client an error was given but no mail downloaded. I have resolved that deleting all the dovecot files into the mailbox, so: dovecot-uidlist dovecot.index dovecot.index.cache dovecot.index.log Then, all restarted to works normally, but...the most bad thing is... the lost mails!

[Dovecot] 1.1.9 release candidate
by Timo Sirainen 18 Jan '09

18 Jan '09

http://dovecot.org/tmp/dovecot-1.1.9.rc.tar.gz There are a couple of a bit larger changes, so would be nice if a few people tested this on different setups before I released the final v1.1.9. Changes since v1.1.8: + deliver: Added rejection_subject setting, which is used for rejected mails. + pop3: Prevent clients from looping forever trying to fetch an expunged message. + If login process crashes, log the IP address that (maybe) caused it. + If core dump limit is 0, add "core dumps disabled" to startup log line. - mbox: Fixed assert-crash with pop3_lock_session=yes - dbox: Fixes to handling maildir-converted files. - Auth cache wasn't working correctly for all fields (e.g. allow_nets) with blocking passdbs (e.g. mysql). - pgsql: Handle reconnecting to server without failing auth lookups. - Berkeley DB memory/resource leak fixes. - maildir: Fixes to handling over 26 keywords.

Ah, ok. I think blackberry is an exception here. But actually you can disable IDLE by changing imap_capability setting manually. Set it to the default CAPABILITY reply you get from Dovecot, just remove IDLE.

[Dovecot] Enforcing STARTTLS for all mechs while disabling imaps
by Durk Strooisma 16 Jan '09

16 Jan '09

Hi all, Is there a way to enforce STARTTLS for all connections, regardless their authentication mechanism? disable_plaintext_auth only takes care of the auth conversation, but I would like to have all communication encrypted. As far as I can see, this would only be possible when using imaps and disabling imap. However, I would like to have the other way around; disabling imaps and using imap for all communication (with enforced STARTTLS). Am I missing something? Durk

[Dovecot] [dovecot] INDEX variable and mbox_snarf plugin
by Jonathan Siegle 16 Jan '09

16 Jan '09

Is there a way to tell the dovecot mbox_snarf plugin to use an alternate location for the index/cache files? It doesn't seem to want to use the INDEX variable. I'm guessing the answer is no because of all the ties in lib-storage/index/mbox/*c to the directory where the file(that is the inbox) lives. The filesystem where I keep the inbox file doesn't have a directory for the user to own. The user only owns the mbox file. Thanks, Jonathan

[Dovecot] Fatal: Plugin sieve_plugin not found from directory
by John Morris 15 Jan '09

15 Jan '09

Hi list, Enabling plugins returns fatal errors like the following: Jan 16 00:28:11 norman dovecot: deliver(jman(a)zultron.com): Fatal: Plugin sieve_plugin not found from directory /usr/lib64/dovecot/lda Same errors for loading plugins in the "protocol imap" section of dovecot.conf (tested trash_plugin), same errors for loading other plugins (tested virtual_plugin), same errors for different spellings of "mail_plugins" (lib90_sieve_plugin.so, sieve_plugin.so, sieve_plugin). The directory must be correct, because if lib90_sieve_plugin.so is copied to sieve_plugin.so: Jan 16 00:33:16 norman dovecot: deliver(jman(a)zultron.com): Fatal: Multiple files for module sieve_plugin: /usr/lib64/dovecot/lda/lib90_sieve_plugin.so, /usr/lib64/dovecot/lda/sieve_plugin.so Invoking the deliver process with strace showed /usr/lib64/dovecot/lda being opened, fstated, and getdents returned the expected results, including {d_ino=67593, d_off=608760247, d_reclen=40, d_name="lib90_sieve_plugin.so"} After this, the plugin (nor any other file, aside from /etc/localtime) was not opened, the above error was sent, and deliver exited. The RPM was recompiled for CentOS 5.1 from an ArkLinux Dovecot 1.2 SRPM; the specfile appears to be of the same lineage as the Rawhide Dovecot 1.1 SRPM, and it's quite straightforward. I did add the ManageSieve patch to it, and otherwise no noteworthy changes. Others on the list who had this problem usually suffered from misspellings in mail_plugins or incorrect mail_plugin_dir; the "multiple files" error seems to eliminate this as a possibility. One other fellow had this problem, and fixed it with a recompile; however, since this is an SRPM, there's not much room for random changes in the process, and recompiling didn't fix the problem. Without dovecot plugins enabled, dovecot and deliver are working well in a postfix/LDAP/virtual domains configuration. Below is the dovecot -n output.

[Dovecot] get username of logged in user
by Stefan Jurisch 15 Jan '09

15 Jan '09

Hello, can I anywhere get the name of the currently logged in user? I'm still implementing a custom ACL plugin (IMAP commands MYRIGHTS, GETACL, SETACL, DELETEACL), and for some functions (for example storing the current folder's ACL in combination with this username) I need to obtain the currently logged in IMAP user. Is this possible? If yes - how? Thanks in advance.

[Dovecot] ImapTest Wiki
by Justin Krejci 15 Jan '09

15 Jan '09

On this page http://imapwiki.org/ImapTest/Running It gives command line parameters to define. One of them is "password=pass" but this resulted in an "Unknown arg" response for me on a fresh install. I then looked at some examples and they give the argument as "pass=pass" which works for me. Was the argument name changed recently or something?

[Dovecot] Personal dovecot
by Andrzej Adam Filip 15 Jan '09

15 Jan '09

Do you think it wold be worthwhile to add command line options to "deliver" and "imap" to make them ignore "system wide" configuration file and use ~/.dovecotrc instead? I would like to use "imap via fetchmail ssh plugin" and "deliver via ~/.forward (to get sieve support)". Such options would allow "cleaner" configuration. -- [pl>en: Andrew] Andrzej Adam Filip : anfi(a)onet.eu : anfi(a)xl.wp.pl Nice boy, but about as sharp as a sack of wet mice. -- Foghorn Leghorn

[Dovecot] ldap performance?
by Jan-Frode Myklebust 15 Jan '09

15 Jan '09

We're looking at replacing our mysql auth and userdb, with a set of Red Hat Directory servers, and I see dovecot supports either authentication binds, or "password lookups": http://wiki.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/LDAP I'm curious if anybody can give any insight as to what kind of performance to expect from authentication binds ? How many POP3s/second should we expect from it ? Our directory servers will be 2 blades with 4 cores of 2GHz each, and we expect to keep the full directory in memory on both servers. -jf

[Dovecot] Apple patch 9
by Mike Abbott 15 Jan '09

15 Jan '09

Patch #9 adds support for Open Directory and an encrypted SSL keystore. Notes about this patch: It adds --enable-apple and --with-od options to configure (after running autoconf). It depends on patch #7 (hash_table_create/destroy). Automake wipes out this patch's changes to Makefile.in. The - framework options should come from Makefile.am but the author didn't do that. It uses a tab-stops-every-4 indentation style. It may compile and run only on Mac OS X 10.6, currently available via Apple Developer Connection. This code is stable but Apple is still verifying its robustness. This is the patch that needs the user name as extra_fields[0] in deliver, to handle user name aliases. More patches to come, probably after the holidays.

[Dovecot] Maildir++ quota: When is it recalculated?
by Ulrich Zehl 14 Jan '09

14 Jan '09

We use Maildir++ quota, with the rules taken from our LDAP backend. We also have an old expunge script that's not quota-aware; it removes old messages from the maildir by simply deleting the files. Sometimes, a mailbox is over quota before the script runs, but well under quota after the old messages are deleted. This change does not seem to be picked up, however: When I try to deliver a new message (using Dovecot's deliver), the attempt fails with an "over quota" error. I tried finding out from the source code whether this is intended behavior, but unfortunately, I'm not enough of a programmer, so I have to ask here: Should I be able to delete mails from a maildir, and expect the quota plugin to notice the change? We use Dovecot 1.1.8, by the way. Ulrich

[Dovecot] Maildir loses keywords in index beyond 26
by George Greer 14 Jan '09

14 Jan '09

(NOTE: I am not on the mailing list so please Cc: me.) dovecot-1.1.6-2.fc10.i386 (configuration not changed from stock) Fedora 10 AMD Athlon XP ext3 Maildir format doesn't store keywords in the index properly -- it goes up to 26 and then further keywords are dropped. I ran the tests with a simple script that feeds the lines from "commands" to Dovecot one at a time and waits for the "OK" before the next one. The IMAP command file is attached, as well as output of dovecot, idxview, and logview running against both mbox and maildir formats. Test mailbox created with: for i in `seq -f %02g 0 99`; do echo "Test message #$i" | mail -s "Test message #$i" sandbox@localhost; sleep 1; done For the maildir test I used the conversion script: Step 2: su sandbox -c 'perl /usr/share/doc/dovecot-1.1.6/UW-to-Dovecot-Migration/perfect_maildir.pl ~/Maildir < /var/spool/mail/sandbox' # 1.1.6: /etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.25.6-55.fc9.i686 i686 Fedora release 10 (Cambridge) 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 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/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd -- George Greer

[Dovecot] linuxconf migration story
by Thanos Chatziathanassiou 14 Jan '09

14 Jan '09

Hi, just subscribed after successfully (?) migrating from a somewhat old linuxconf/vimap config. dovecot-1.1.7, x86 A few issues: The index files seem to be created with the wrong permissions. I get numerous ``Dec 24 15:36:29 mail dovecot: POP3(user@domain): stat(/var/run/dovecot/imap-index/domain/user/.imap/INBOX) failed: Permission denied (euid=60107 egid=231 missing +x perm: /var/run/dovecot/imap-index/domain)'' errors. the directory /var/run/dovecot/imap-index is drwxrwxrwt 29 dovecot dovecot 4.0k Dec 24 15:57 imap-index but the directories inside it are created as drwx------ 15 60107 popusers 4.0k Dec 24 15:50 domain Questions: - Why is POP3 interested in the imap indices ? - IMAP clients do not complain all that much, as far as I can see, but what happens to POP3 ? - Is there something to configure to get rid of this ? Also, I have written a somewhat sloppy patch to determine the domain from the server's IP. That way it is not necessary to persuade all users to switch to logging in as ``user@domain'' (which I've tried with very limited success). Would this be the correct place to post the patch and discuss ? Best Regards, Thanos Chatziathanassiou

[Dovecot] Apple patch 10
by Mike Abbott 14 Jan '09

14 Jan '09

Patch #10 allows the pop3 and imap mail processes to handle multiple clients. We know this weakens the security model but it greatly increases scalability especially when clients are idle. Here's how it works. When there are no mail processes, or none serving fewer than mail_max_connections clients, the master creates a new mail process pretty much like it does now, but with some new environment variables (PERSISTENT_MAIL_PROCESS and CONNECTION_ID, and ADVISE_SET[GU]ID instead of RESTRICT_SET[GU]ID) and a unix-domain socket connection back to the master. For future clients the master sends the client socket and a full dump of the environment via that connection. Persistent mail processes multiplex I/O for their connected clients and switch the whole environment and the effective user ID, group ID, and supplemental groups each time. The result is that most of dovecot's code and assumptions remain unchanged: the mail process executes imap/pop commands with the permissions of the user and with nearly the same environment so getenv() still works as expected. Some assumptions do change, for instance global state variables like last_partial and quota_set are forbidden, and must be stored per-client or per-user. Also it's no longer OK just to exit or panic on error, for that disconnects multiple users not just one. Some key entry points in the patch are create_mail_process() in mail- process.c and io_env_switch() in ioloop.c. Notes about this patch: - The base for this patch is dovecot-1.1.7 + Apple patch 9, not because this patch needs Open Directory but simply because it adds one line to the Apple attributions in COPYING. - This patch depends on Apple patch 7 (hash_table_create/destroy). - This patch introduces the following new config options for the pop3 and imap protocols: - mail_process_per_connection = yes - mail_max_connections = 20 The default value of mail_process_per_connection (yes) preserves the current secure model. Changing it to no allows multiplexing, with up to mail_max_connections simultaneous clients per process. See dovecot- example.conf for more info. - It restricts the mail_executable config option to minimize unpleasant surprises. When mail_process_per_connection = no the communication protocol between the master process and the mail processes changes as described above. A naive third-party mail_executable might break. See dovecot-example.conf for more info. - Some changes are intentionally awkward in order to minimize code deltas to simplify merges (of new dovecot releases into our source tree). These are so marked. Feel free to clean them up. - Changes tagged with "APPLE" are ours, including the whole new directory mail-common. All the untagged changes, including the entire contents of the new files mail-user.[ch], are copied straight from dovecot-1.2 (alpha3, I believe). We needed dovecot-1.2's support for multiple users in order to handle quotas correctly, and we needed it in 1.1. Specifically, we copied these changes from dovecot-1.2 (and a couple others too I think): 8082 http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.2/rev/db66611fd195 Added struct mail_user and fixed the code to support multiple users per process. 8084 http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.2/rev/f12f8c1da0bf Forgot to add mail-user.* files in previous struct mail_user commit. 8085 http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.2/rev/bf83aa9c3f4a Removed pool parameter from mail_namespaces_init*(). Use mail_user's pool intead. 8091 http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.2/rev/ceca59aaae89 quota-fs: compile fix for previous changes. 8096 http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.2/rev/f35a8a3dc06d Fixed FS quota compiling and Maildir++ quota with multiple users. 8109 http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.2/rev/e7929190cd32 fts-solr: Fixed compiling with recent struct mail_user changes. 8137 http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.2/rev/b2a258213ee0 Created mail_user_[try_]home_expand(). Used them for expanding mail directories. 8294 http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.2/rev/8aa69e3d27ef Trash plugin: Assign storage to all mailboxes at startup so errors are caught immediately. Also previous optimization change broke trash plugin when using multiple mail_users. This change fixes it to work again. If a change in the patch is not marked somehow with APPLE then it comes from dovecot-1.2. - Some other data structures also needed to be made per-client/user, for instance last_partial from imap-fetch-body.c, quota_set from quota- plugin.c, and process_primary_gid etc. from restrict-access.c. - Sending the master process SIGINFO (on platforms that support that signal) makes it print its view of all the clients connected to all the mail processes. Sending SIGINFO to an individual mail process makes it print its view. These are not necessarily always the same. For instance, on a config reload (SIGHUP), the master disconnects from the mail processes but leaves them running. The output is admittedly kinda geeky. - The logging tag for a persistent mail process is just "*" instead of the user name, since a process can serve multiple users. Some individual messages (such as connect/disconnect) identify the user. - The expire plugin uses global state variables which are incompatible with persistent mail processes. The patch detects trouble but does not fix it because we don't need it. We leave that as an exercise for you :). - The dict client interface is blocking which is unfortunate for persistent mail processes. The patch does not address this, since the delay is probably small and we don't use it anyway. - Some of the accounting is gnarly because of the need to honor mail_max_userip_connections in a world where a single user can have any number of active connections on any number of mail processes. Finally, here's the patch.

Dovecot 1.1.7 is running so smoothly that I gave up checking its log files daily. :) I've just had a look, and among the usual "IMAP(username): FETCH for mailbox Sent UID xx got too little data: xx vs

Re: [Dovecot] Can not Create Maildir using userdb

Thank you for your reply.

[Dovecot] Dovecot suggestions for new installation
by Michael Durket 13 Jan '09

13 Jan '09

I've been testing Dovecot for a while now and am preparing to replace our outdated IMAP system with it. The current system serves about 300 email users who run a mixture of clients (Eudora, Apple Mail, Thunderbird and Outlook). Can any of the many experts on this list answer a few questions: 1) What's the latest stable release of Dovecot I should be running on this new system (Dovecot will be running on a RedHat Linux AS 4 64 bit system with plenty of memory and CPU). I've been running 1.13 on my test system but I see that 1.18 just came out (although I don't know if I should switch to it immediately. 2) What configuration file options (if any) should I turn on to best handle the range of email clients listed above? 3) Are there any "sizing" options I need to worry about setting for the number of email users I have (I suspect that 300 users is considered a rather small mail system but I want to minimize its resource usage as much as possible while still giving decent performance from Dovecot). And, just out of curiosity, I'm looking into the idea of switching users from mbox format over to Maildir format on this system (it will use all locally- connected disks and have no NFS mounts). Does the Dovecot automatic migration program to migrate from mbox to Maildir work well or are there "gotchas"? Thanks.

[Dovecot] [checkpassword] I can't get a password from fd3
by Durk Strooisma 13 Jan '09

13 Jan '09

Hi all, I'm trying to implement checkpassword authentication with a simple bash script. In some way I can't get the password from file descriptor 3. The start of script looks like this: #!/bin/bash read -d '\0' -r -u 3 USERNAME="${REPLY}" read -d '\0' -r -u 3 PASSWORD="${REPLY}" if [ -z "${USERNAME}" ] || [ -z "${PASSWORD}" ] then exit 111 fi It always exits with 111, because PASSWORD is empty. In whatever way I try to retrieve data from fd3, I never happen to get more data than the username. Is this a known problem? Am I doing something silly? Replies are much appreciated! Durk FYI: GSSAPI auth works perfect and PAM worked before switching to checkpassword too.

[Dovecot] Problems with dovecot
by Filip Francis 12 Jan '09

[Dovecot] Dovecot, pop3, mBox
by Matej Golob 12 Jan '09

12 Jan '09

I have to migrate some old system to new one with installed dovecot (It's my first time using dovecot). I have all mails inside /var/spool/mail folder (mbox files). I can connect and receive mails via POP3, but problem is that dovecot doesn't clear mbox file (everytime when I make send/receive in mailclient program I get all mails again). If I look into log file I see (when I do send/receive in mail client program) Jan 11 21:09:12 ns1 dovecot: POP3(matej): Disconnected: Logged out top=0/0, retr=5/23934, del=5/5, size=23848 Here is output of dovecot -n # 1.1.6: /etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.27-desktop-0.rc8.2mnb i686 Mandriva Linux release 2009.0 (Official) for i586 protocols: imap imaps pop3 pop3s ssl_cert_file: /etc/pki/tls/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key_file: /etc/pki/tls/private/dovecot.pem disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-login mail_location: mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u mail_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/pop3 pop3_uidl_format(default): %08Xu%08Xv pop3_uidl_format(imap): %08Xu%08Xv pop3_uidl_format(pop3): %08Xv%08Xu auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd Thanks for help.

[Dovecot] Can not Create Maildir using userdb sql
by Henry Yonathan 12 Jan '09

Dear all, I've been experiencing this problem and still can't find a solution for this. I want to have a dynamic quota for each virtual user. I've followed instruction from : http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/DovecotLDAPostfixAdminMySQL http://workaround.org/articles/ispmail-etch/ But still can't give what I want. But if I use userdb static, I works fluently.

[Dovecot] Deliver *sometimes* delivers via /tmp?
by Kim Bisgaard 12 Jan '09

12 Jan '09

Hi, I'm running dovecot (1.1.7) deliver and sieve (1.1.5) on a Fedora 9 platform, using selinux targetet mode. Most of the mail deliveries goes well, but once deliver tried to copy the mail to the /tmp directory, which it seems it not allowed by selinux. I guess that deliver wants to sanitize the mail or something and therefore copies it to /tmp. Before I ask for selinux to allow this, I would like to know why? It could also be an error, leading deliver into a seldom used piece of code? I order to get the mail delivered I put selinux into permissive mode, using: semanage permissive -a dovecot_deliver_t And then the mail is delivered - below are excerpts from different logs and I have *NOT* attached the message which could not get delivered - because of its size.

[Dovecot] 1.1.6 -> 1.1.7 regression: dovecot: pipe() failed: Too many open files
by Mark Zealey 12 Jan '09

12 Jan '09

Hi all, We updated to 1.1.7 a week or two back from 1.1.6 (both standard atrpms builds). Since doing so, twice now I've seen the imap services accept connections but they hang before the banner is printed (pop seems to be unaffected). I see this in the logs: Dec 23 14:02:15 mail9 dovecot: pipe() failed: Too many open files Dec 23 14:02:15 mail9 dovecot: Temporary failure in creating login processes, slowing down for now Dec 23 14:02:15 mail9 dovecot: Created login processes successfully, unstalling Dec 23 14:02:16 mail9 dovecot: pipe() failed: Too many open files Dec 23 14:02:16 mail9 dovecot: Temporary failure in creating login processes, slowing down for now Dec 23 14:02:16 mail9 dovecot: Created login processes successfully, unstalling The ulimit for the number of open files on these servers has remained unchanged at 8192 and there are no warnings about too few fd's on dovecot startup. There weren't amazing numbers of imap sessions open at the time (only something like 400-500; we've had 1.5k in the past), so I suspect this is a regression between 1.1.6 and 1.1.7 where you've got a leak of fd's ? If it happens again I'll try and get a snapshot of the fd's open by the master dovecot process.

[Dovecot] Bash script to mark all mail read in Maildir + Dovecot
by Andrew Oakley 12 Jan '09

12 Jan '09

Hi, I'm writing a script to mark all new mail read, including all mail in folders, for my system which uses Maildir and Dovecot. The reason for this script is that I use Google Mail at work, which forwards to my SMTP/IMAP system at home. When I've finished my last check of GMail at work, I want to be able to quickly mark all mail as read at home too. Basically this script moves everything from all /new/ directories to /cur/ directories and appends :2,S ("Seen" info status) to the filename. It seems to work, but I'm relatively new to IMAP and Maildir. Can anyone spot any potential problems? Thanks. ----cut here--- #!/bin/bash # markallread by Andrew Oakley www.aoakley.com Public Domain 2009-01-09 # A script to mark all MAILDIR mail as read, including folders # Assumes Dovecot folder naming dot prefix eg. ~/.maildir/.foldername # Loop through ~/.maildir/.foldername/new/ directories # This also does the ~/.maildir Inbox since it matches ~/.maildir/./new/ for i in `ls -1 ~/.maildir/.*/new/*` do # Replace /new/ with /cur/ # Also add status "seen" to message by appending :2,S to filename # as per http://cr.yp.to/proto/maildir.html mv $i `echo $i | sed -r "s/^(.*)\/new\/(.*)$/\1\/cur\/\2:2,S/"` done ----end cut here--- -- Andrew Oakley andrew(a)aoakley.com

[Dovecot] new flags in Maildir files
by Giuliano Gavazzi 11 Jan '09

11 Jan '09

Sorry if this is a dumb question: I migrated my third system from courier to dovecot. My previous two were MacOSX the third is FreeBSD 6. I noticed (because of an rsync process taking longer than usual...) that on FreeBSD the message files have, most of them at least, gained extra suffix letters (in the range a-h I'd say) that I do not see (mostly if not at all) on my MacOS systems. I wonder if this is because of a different migration process, as in the first two cases I wrongly run courier-dovecot-migrate.pl without the --convert option as I was satisfied that the OK result for all Mailboxes was enough... (no pop here), while on FreeBSD I correctly applied the --convert option. The other difference is the version, 1.1.6 for MacOSX, 1.1.7 for FreeBSD. Cannot find a relevant entryin the ChangeLog. (now running rsync with the --fuzzy option, hopefully it will find the files cutting on transfer times!) Thanks Giuliano

[Dovecot] download IMAP folders via POP3
by Jakob Grießmann 11 Jan '09

11 Jan '09

Hi, I know my question might sound a little bit strange, but is it possible to download IMAP folders via POP3? I have clients who use POP3 on their main machines and IMAP on their "on the road" notebooks. It would be good to download all folders created on the notebook via POP3 to the main desktop. Googling brought up some results, but I don't know how to implement... Thanks Jakob

[Dovecot] DC testing observation and a question
by Stewart Dean 10 Jan '09

10 Jan '09

I have been running a test DC IMAP server to evaluate the new release before migrating from 1.0.15 to 1.1.8. The test server access all the INBOX and homedir folder filesystems through NFS imports. The index file filesystem is local on both the production server and the test one.. This is messy in that when I ask some one tests using the test sever, the index has to be created or re-gennned, since the local index either doesn't exist or is several months old (from the last time a prospective upgrade was tested) and thus doesn't reflect data on the production DC IMAP server. 1) Watching the syslog maillog has been intriguing...different IMAP client show widely differently use patterns. a) Users running TBird and Seamonkey have 2-5 imap sessions (ps -aef | grep <userid>) *but* very little syslog activity...sparse occasional logins and disconnects b) Users running Exchange have only 1 imap sessions *but* every 5 minutes will generate login and disconnect messages (in and out in the space of a second) for each folders. So for a user with 22 folders, there will be 44 syslog messages in the maillog every 5 minutes. Just curious....any thought as to which is more efficient and by how much? 2) When I try to switch a MacMail client over, it sees the new mail, but not the old mail in the INBOX. How do I force re-indexing on the test server? -- ==== Once upon a time, the Internet was a friendly, neighbors-helping-neighbors small town, and no one locked their doors. Now it's like an apartment in Bed-Stuy: you need three heavy duty pick-proof locks, one of those braces that goes from the lock to the floor, and bars on the windows.... ==== Stewart Dean, Unix System Admin, Bard College, New York 12504 sdean(a)bard.edu voice: 845-758-7475, fax: 845-758-7035

[Dovecot] TLS timeout with 1.2a4
by Luigi Rosa 09 Jan '09

09 Jan '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have a mail server CentOS 64bit (4 Gb RAM) with Dovecot 1.2a4 and three accounts. I use Thunderbird 2. If I enable SSL connection in Thunderbird 2, after three-five minutes I got a lot of different errors in Thunderbird (Server is not IMAP, Connection lost...). Everything comes back to normal if I restart Dovecot in the server, but after 5 minutes I got the same errors. This happens both with an ADSL connection (Thunderbird on Windows XP) AND with a direct 1 Gbit cross cable connection (Thunderbird on Ubuntu 64 8.10). If I disable SSL connection on Thunderbird, everything comes back to normal and I don't get any error. The SSL-related options in dovecot.conf are: ssl_disable = no ssl_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key_file = /etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem ssl_parameters_regenerate = 47 verbose_ssl = yes ssl_cipher_list = ALL:!LOW disable_plaintext_auth = no What kind of logging can I enable to trace this error?

[Dovecot] Master user with "user="?
by Alan Ferrency 09 Jan '09

09 Jan '09

Hello, In our configuration, we are using a "passdb passwd-file", with "user=" directives in each username, and a separate "userdb passwd-file" which contains the target usernames for the "user=" directives. This works fine, for normal logins via POP and IMAP. For customer support testing purposes, we also set up a temporary "master=yes" passwd-file. This works fine, for any passdb username that does not have a "user=" field. However, it seems that if we use the master user to log into a username that is in the passdb with a "user=" field, dovecot looks in the userdb for the original username, and not for the "user=" username specified in the passdb passwd-file. Is this a known bug? Maybe I'm doing something wrong? Thanks! Alan Ferrency pair Networks, Inc. alan(a)pair.com

[Dovecot] expire plugin with pgsql not working
by LÉVAI Dániel 09 Jan '09

09 Jan '09

Hi! I've configured dovecot, and created the db/table/trigger according to http://wiki.dovecot.org/Quota/Dict. I'm using dovecot-1.1.7 and pgsql. When moving a message inside the "monitored" directory, the expires table won't get updated because of an error: statement: INSERT INTO expires (expire_stamp, mailbox) VALUES ('1229993423', 'leva/spamassassin.SPAM') INSERT ERROR: null value in column "username" violates not-null constraint Wonder why doesn't dovecot pass the username too.

[Dovecot] Sudden, large numbers of "Timeout while waiting for lock for transaction log ..."
by Jack Stewart 09 Jan '09

09 Jan '09

Hi, Up until yesterday, our environment which consists an NFS maildir file store with multiple front end servers, was working fine. We've verified that the server clocks and machines clocks are in sync. Starting yesterday afternoon, We are getting ~850 log entries of the form 'Timeout while waiting for lock for transaction log files' or 'Our dotlock file was modified, assuming it wasn't overridden (kept it 180 sec) Based on packet capture, just one of these index files shows 28553 GETATTRs queries in in a one minute. At this happened at exactly the same time on all of our servers, it is pretty clear that the back-end system (or network) is a major factor although nobody will confess that they made any changes. It would be helpful, and very appreciated, to get more information about what this might be so that we can nudge the correct people to undo whatever it is that they didn't do.

[Dovecot] Enforcing TLS
by Ed Schouten 09 Jan '09

09 Jan '09

Hello all, I've happily been using Dovecot for a couple of years now, but only a couple of days ago I configured it to speak both TLS and SSL for both POP3 and IMAP. Ideally I want users to use TLS, but I've enabled SSL, because some mailers (at least Apple Mail on OS X Tiger) don't support TLS. Right now I'm in sort of a transitional phase, where I'm asking users to enable TLS in their email clients, if not enabled already. After a couple of weeks/months I want to disable any (non-local) connections that don't use TLS or SSL. I already asked on IRC whether this was possible, because I was unable to find this on the Wiki. It turns out there is a configuration switch called `disable_plaintext_auth', but looking at the description this only prevents people from using plain-text username/password authentication. It does not actually enforce TLS or SSL. My question: is there support to enforce TLS when people connect to non-SSL ports? If someone comes up with a solution, I'll add it to the SSL article on the Wiki. I'm using Dovecot 1.1.7, installed on a FreeBSD 6.4-STABLE system. Thanks! -- Ed Schouten <ed(a)80386.nl> WWW: http://80386.nl/

[Dovecot] Restoring individual messages from a backup into a Maildir setup?
by Thomas Harold 09 Jan '09

09 Jan '09

We have a user who deleted IMAP folders from his account, so I simply tried to restore the folder ".FolderName" from our backup. I checked that file/folder ownership was the same as the original, but the Dovecot IMAP server is throwing errors at the client. I've tried copying the individual message files from the "cur" folders in the backup directory, but Dovecot immediate goes into panic mode and throws errors at the IMAP client when I do that. Even if the file is owned by the currect UID. I've tried putting those files into "tmp" and "new" as well, with no luck. I looked at the following thread, but it didn't help. http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2007-August/024971.html The thread from Sep 2008 wasn't much help either: http://www.mail-archive.com/dovecot@dovecot.org/msg12846.html ... Eh, I figured this out before I even posted. Restoration is indeed that simple. The problem is that the files were not labeled with the proper SELinux security context after being restored. When the file was restored, it was assigned a context of "root:object_r:file_t", which is not a context that the Dovecot service has permissions to interact with. I had to re-label the files after restoring them with # chcon -R user_u:object_r:mail_spool_t foldername So the lesson here is to check /var/log/messages and look for sealert indicators when restoring files. ... Hopefully that helps some other people out when dealing with Red Hat / CentOS with SELinux set to enforcing mode.

[Dovecot] dovecot-auth Temporary But Frequent CPU Spike
by Joe Clark 09 Jan '09

09 Jan '09

Hi.. I am setting up a new server (2GHz CPU, Ubuntu 8.10) and am using dovecot for an IMAP server. I have installed dovecot 1.1.4 and Squirrelmail 1.4.15. sudo dovecot -n shows this: # 1.1.4: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: imap login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_process_per_connection: no mail_privileged_group: mail auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd The problem I'm noticing is that if I do top -d 1 while clicking links in Squirrelmail (e.g., logging in, the Inbox link, opening a message), I see that a "dovecot-auth" process maximizes the CPU for about a second. While this is not a huge amount, it seems like with multiple users it could quickly bog down a server . Are there any recommendations or thoughts on what might cause the one-second CPU spike? -- or is that just normal operation? Thanks for your thoughts. - Joe Clark

[Dovecot] v1.1.8 released
by Timo Sirainen 09 Jan '09

09 Jan '09

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/dovecot-1.1.8.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/dovecot-1.1.8.tar.gz.sig Most importantly mbox bugfixes. v1.1 should finally be as stable with mboxes as it was with v1.0. Hopefully we'll also soon have the first v1.2 beta release and the final v1.2.0 somewhat soon after that. - mbox: Several bugfixes. Fixes "next message unexpectedly lost" errors and perhaps some other problems as well. - deliver: It wasn't possible to override boolean settings in lda section by setting them to "no". - Maildir++ quota didn't correctly check if maildirs had changed during recalculation. - kqueue notify: Fixed assert-crash in some situations - dbox: Several fixes to handling Maildir migrations - Logging/error message improvements

[Dovecot] cannot delete emails in inbox
by JANE CUA 09 Jan '09

09 Jan '09

I am working on upgrading our current squirrelmail and replace uw-imap with dovecot. I have what looks like a successful installation. My current setup is: Centos 5.2 sendmail 8.13.8 dovecot 1.1.17 (imap) squirrelmail 1.4.17 I can send and receive email fine. However when I try to delete an email in my Inbox, it doesn't get deleted. It only sends a copy to the Trash folder. But the email is still in the Inbox. I can purge and delete the contents in my Trash and Sent folder, no problem. I am not sure if this is a Squirrelmail issue or a Dovecot issue. Please advice. Thank you -- Jane

[Dovecot] Dovecot-auth timeouts
by Javier Fox 08 Jan '09

08 Jan '09

Hello, I've unfortunately been unable to find anything relating to the problem I'm having specifically, in searching the list or google, and so I now plead to you to assistance. I'm running Dovecot as an LDA and SASL auth for Postfix on a Debian 4 box. Dovecot is version 1.0.rc15 (the official debian pkg version). The problem I'm running into is this. After some time of running (lately it's been as little as 5 minutes), I start to see the following errors in dovecot.log: deliver(user(a)domain.com): "Dec 23 14:38:47 "Error: User request from dovecot-auth timed out deliver(anotheruser(a)domain.com): "Dec 23 14:38:48 "Error: User request from dovecot-auth timed out Postfix responds to these by simply deferring the messages. Dovecot itself, however, begins to return 'Authentication failed' messages after significant lag time (sometimes greater than 30s): Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. +OK Dovecot-POP user username +OK pass mypassword -ERR Authentication failed. Now, for authentication, Dovecot is using LDAP on the local server. The only additional information I can find pertaining to these errors is the following from slapd.log: slapd[22593]: connection_input: conn=6 deferring operation: pending operations These messages correspond 1-to-1 to the above 'deliver' errors, where 'conn' is always the same number. Restarting dovecot and ldap resolves the issue for a few minutes, but sure enough the errors start flowing again. I'm really at the end of my rope on this, as nothing I do seems to help. I have a good 500+ customers being effected by this as well, and they're all none too pleased by it.

[Dovecot] delivers mail to bad directory(prefix) using sieve filters
by Radim Roska 08 Jan '09

08 Jan '09

Hi, I've installed dovecot debian stable(from backports) version (1.0.15). Its great..i just have problem with sieve filters. I use only web tool for creating filters that works for me (avelsieve plugin for squirrelmail). it creates rules, where specified folder has prefix INBOX. Thats fine.. Since dovecot has configured prefix INBOX too. BUT mails are delivered to INBOX.INBOX.test_folder and thats ugly and not usable. I've figured out new version 1.2 should work, but i dont like idea to install not stable version to production server. Is there any patch or something for stable version? Thanks a lot! Radim

[Dovecot] Bug Report in Connection with Expire Plugin

[Dovecot] Apple patches 1-5
by Mike Abbott 08 Jan '09

08 Jan '09

Here are the first few simple patches from Apple, based on dovecot-1.1.7. The comments with "APPLE" in them helped us merge in your new releases; feel free to remove them. Please let me know if you want subsequent patches in a different format, or if you have any questions. Patch #1. Some versions of Mac OS X have buggy CMSG_* macros. Patch #2. Don't set "<username>=1" in the environment. Patch #3. Some versions of Mac OS X return near-duplicate kevents. Patch #4. Null renames are actually pretty slow on HFS (Apple's file system), so avoid them. Patch #5. Required by Apple's lawyers.

[Dovecot] Apple patches 6-8
by Mike Abbott 08 Jan '09

08 Jan '09

Here are a few more patches. Still keeping it easy for now. Again the basis for these patches is dovecot-1.1.7. Patch #6. Solve a cross-compilation endianness issue. Currently, Dovecot assumes that the endianness of the build system is the same as the endianness of the runtime system. This is not necessarily true. We ran into this while compiling for i386 on a ppc machine. The patch switches to using gcc's __BIG_ENDIAN__ macro; see the comment in the patch to configure.in. It also removes the related and unused MAIL_INDEX_COMPAT_FLAGS parameter. This patch may be applicable to other build environments with a little tweaking. Patch #7. Replace all occurrences of "hash_create" and "hash_destroy" with "hash_table_create" and "hash_table_destroy" respectively. The symbols hash_create and hash_destroy conflict with symbols defined in <strhash.h> and libc. This showed up when loading dovecot's quota plugin (one of our future patches will add a hash table to it; stay tuned). The wrong hash_create was called which caused a crash at the first hash_insert. Apparently this is only a problem in loaded dynamic libraries and not linked-in ones. Patch #8. Back off after auth failures to deter abusers. Stalls 5 seconds per failed attempt. PS -- Please forgive me if I make a mistake at some point while splitting these patches out from our source tree. They're all mingled together on my end and it's sometimes tricky to extract just the right changes for each patch. If anything seems fishy just let me know and I'll take another look. Thanks.

[Dovecot] ManageSieve woes
by Rodti MacLeary 08 Jan '09

08 Jan '09

Hi everyone, New to the list, and fairly confident that this issue is purely down to my own idiocy, so please go easy on me! I've been running Dovecot 1.0.13 on Debian (via Aptitude package) for some time, and have been delighted with it. For a while I've toyed with the idea of using ManageSieve as there's a nice plugin for Roundcube, so I'm trying to follow the how-to at http://wiki.dovecot.org/ManageSieve. First of all I've downloaded the Dovecot 1.1.7 source and compiled it myself. I've patched it using the appropriate ManageSieve 1.1.7 diff file referenced in the how-to, and it all appears to be running fine. The next step is to compile the ManageSieve 0.10.4 source itself. I've extracted the tarball and attempted ./configure, but it's failing with the following errors: ./configure: line 19826: cd: ../dovecot: No such file or directory ./configure: line 19829: cd: ../dovecot-sieve-1.1: No such file or directory dovecot-config not found from /home/user/dovecot-1.1-managesieve-0.10.4, use --with-dovecot=PATH to give path to compiled Dovecot sources or to a directory with the installed dovecot-config file. configure: error: dovecot-config not found I'm not entirely sure what I'm supposed to be pointing --with-dovecot to here. I've tried the Dovecot 1.1.7 source, and /etc/dovecot. Any help greatly appreciated! Rodti

[Dovecot] Checking for strtoumax and strtoimax

[Dovecot] allow_nets overridden by cache
by Guy 08 Jan '09

08 Jan '09

Hi, I've just started trying allow_nets on one of my servers. I have auth_debug and auth_verbose both enabled and the output is as follows: Oct 28 13:05:48 mink dovecot: auth-worker(default): auth(user(a)domain.net,x.x.x.x): allow_nets: Matching for network 127.0.0.1/8 Oct 28 13:05:48 mink dovecot: auth-worker(default): auth(user(a)domain.net,x.x.x.x): allow_nets: Matching for network 10.0.7.176/28 Oct 28 13:05:48 mink dovecot: auth-worker(default): passdb(user(a)domain.net,x.x.x.x): allow_nets check failed: IP not in allowed networks Oct 28 13:05:50 mink dovecot: auth(default): client out: FAIL 1265 user=username(a)aluminati.net Oct 28 13:05:50 mink dovecot: auth(default): cache(user(a)domain.net,x.x.x.x): hit: <hidden> user=user(a)domain.net Oct 28 13:05:50 mink dovecot: auth(default): client out: OK 1266 user=user(a)domain.net auth_cache_ttl is set to 300. If I set it to 1 then the allow_nets successfully rejects. Once I set it back up to 300 the cache overrides the result from the allow_nets check and let's the account log in even though the allow_nets check fails. I've tried waiting for longer than the 300 seconds and then logged in again, but I still get the same result as above. Is there a gotcha that I'm unaware of or have I done something stupid (which seems the most likely :P)? Thanks Guy -- Don't just do something...sit there!

[Dovecot] Setting IMAP keywords/flags on delivery
by Matt Doran 08 Jan '09

08 Jan '09

Hi there, We've been long time users of Dovecot, and have found it a great IMAP server. I don't think we've had any serious problems in the 3-4 years of use. So great work. :) We have a IMAP inbox that is accessed by a number of different users from Thunderbird. We have a rule in Thunderbird to flag new emails as "TO DO", so someone can unflag the email once it has been actioned. This process works fairly well for a simple workflow, but problems arise when someone connects to the inbox with a Thunderbird instance that doesn't have the "TO DO" rule configured. The email will not be flagged properly. :( I'd like to be able to set this flag/keyword when the mail is delivered to the inbox, on the server side. That way the flag will be set no matter which client accesses the Inbox first. We currently use mail drop for our server-side mail filtering .... and would like to do a similar thing with this flagging process. We're using Dovecot 1.0.15 on Debian Testing, and use Maildir storage and maildrop as our delivery agent. I've read about how the keywords and Thunderbird labels work in the wiki article here (http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/Maildir) So I could probably write some sort of script to query the "dovecot-keywords" file, and rename the Maildir file to set the appropriate flag. But this sounds a like a bit of a hack, and maybe a little dangerous. Does anyone have any recommendations as to how I could achieve something like this? I'm keen to hear any ideas, whether it's through scripting, or some sort of scriptable/command-line IMAP client. Ideally, we'd have a way to set the flag at the time when the mail is delivered.... or when the first client retrieves any new mail?

[Dovecot] Default dirs in ./configure?
by Peter Lindgren 08 Jan '09

08 Jan '09

Hi! I try to build a new 1.1.7 installation. Since I'm not a large sysadmin, just my own private mail server admin, I just wonder why the sysconf and state dirs defaults to $prefix? Maybe I'm old-school, but isn't /etc and /var, respectively, a better default than /usr/local? Should require two new variables in the configure script, though. (and yes, I know I set them with --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --sharedstatestatedir=/var ) /Peter -- Peter Lindgren http://www.norrskenkonsult.com

Re: [Dovecot] login fails when username has apostrophe

Sorry to bump so quickly but I have a handful of users who can't log in at the moment and would like to get this fixed. Am I missing a config option or is this a bug? The only reference I can find in the mailing list archives is that this configuration should be supported.

[Dovecot] Problem with opening ports in alpha5 ?
by Bruce A. Mallett 07 Jan '09

07 Jan '09

If I leave the "listen" value as the default in /etc/dovecot.conf I'll get a message similar to the following on each port that it tries to open during startup: # dovecot -F Fatal: listen(::, 143) failed: Address already in use If I set either: listen = * or listen = [::] then it will start up fine. Perhaps it is as though the code tries to open the port twice for both ip4 and ip6? - Bruce

[Dovecot] Apple patches 11-14
by Mike Abbott 07 Jan '09

07 Jan '09

These are the last patches for now, and they're small. The base for each of them is dovecot-1.1.7 + Apple patches 9 and 10, again not because of a logical dependency but just because these patches change parts of the earlier patches. Patch #11 adds a few dtrace providers to key points in the code. We are still validating the correct placement and usefulness of these. One cool thing about dtrace is that when not in use the hooks literally are just a couple of no-op instructions. Patch #12 increases many listen queue sizes to handle high loads better. The new values are not necessarily the best possible values but they do allow more throughput. Patch #13 makes dovecot adapt to dynamic host identity changes upon config reload. Patch #14 covers three miscellaneous changes, to support more file descriptors and an "unlimited" number of mail processes, and a different default mail user. That's all our patches for now!

[Dovecot] Obtaining the chroot-cage directory of the mailstore
by Stefan Jurisch 07 Jan '09

07 Jan '09

Hello, I'd like to find a function in the sourcecode which enables me to get the chroot-path of the mailstore, so I can concatenate it with the result of mail_storage_get_mailbox_path to get the full path of a mailbox within the filesystem. Does such a function exist? Who can help me? Thanks in advance.

by Stuart Gall 07 Jan '09

Hello, Happy new year. I have a dovecot with exim installation. I am using virtual users for mail and IMAP. When dovecot creates a folder from imap user the permissions are rwx------ I need them to be rwxrwx--- Is there a way to change this in the configuration file ?
