Hi, I have set up ImapcProxy based on the wiki2 page. My server is set up for no plain text auth without starttls. When I am trying to login in the proxy server, I am getting an error Unknown username/password. The log says: *dovecot: imap-login: Aborted login (auth failed, 1 attempts in 2 secs): user=<xxx>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, TLS, session=<1pBG/03XogB/AAAB>* The server log: *dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (tried to use disabled plaintext auth): rip=10.x.x.x, lip=10.x.x.y* Through wireshark, I found the username and password is going in plain text only to the server. How will I enable starttls in ImapcProxy before any communication starts? Thanks and regards, Suja -- View this message in context: http://dovecot.2317879.n4.nabble.com/dovecot-imap-login-Aborted-login-auth-… Sent from the Dovecot mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Dovecot] Problem with Prefetch User Database
by megodin＠inboxalias.com 21 Mar '13

21 Mar '13

Hi there Community, I am currently setting up a Dovecot Mailserver, which works fine with some basic configuration (Dovecot + Sendmail). Sending and receiving Mails is just fine. For improving timings, I wanted to activate the prefetch user database - but apparently it doesn't seem to work correctly - I hope you can help me out! When I activate the prefetch user database, every time I get a "passdb didn't return userdb entries" from my mail.debug logs. Here's my config: passdb { driver = pam } # (I authenticate via PAM which is itself configured to ask ldap server, ldap returns it back to PAM - so Dovecot only sees the PAM-authentication part) userdb { driver = prefetch } userdb { driver = ldap args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext } # My userdb is going over ldap. Relevant parts of /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext: . .. user_attrs = uidNumber=50014,gidNumber=2084,modem-quota=quota_rule=*:storage=%$ user_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%u)) pass_attrs = uidNumber==50014,gidNumber=2084 I'm not sure.... maybe it's because of the PAMLDAPPAM? Or am I missing out something other fundamental? Thanks for any insights, Megodin --- Alle PostfÃ¤cher an einem Ort.

[Dovecot] ulimit -n in start-script
by Peer Heinlein 21 Mar '13

Hi! Even on midrange-systems it's necessary to set "ulimit -n" to a higher value then the system default of 1024. I'd prefer having this already prepared: In /etc/defaults/dovecot we should add: # Set amount of "open files" / ulimit -n ULIMIT_OPEN_FILES=16884 In /etc/init.d/dovecot we should add: # Set amount of open files / ulimit -n [ -n "$ULIMIT_OPEN_FILES" ] && ulimit -n $ULIMIT_OPEN_FILES Peer -- Heinlein Support GmbH Schwedter Str. 8/9b, 10119 Berlin http://www.heinlein-support.de Tel: 030 / 405051-42 Fax: 030 / 405051-19 Zwangsangaben lt. §35a GmbHG: HRB 93818 B / Amtsgericht Berlin-Charlottenburg, Geschäftsführer: Peer Heinlein -- Sitz: Berlin

[Dovecot] dovecot: auth-worker: order of authentication types
by David Obando 20 Mar '13

20 Mar '13

Hi all, I'm setting a mailserver using dovecot version: 2.1.7. On the server I have a couple of system users using PAM authentication and a lot of virtual users using SQL authentication. When a virtual user (e.g. david(a)virtdomain.de) logs in dovecot tries to authenticate the user via PAM and after failing it uses SQL: Mar 19 11:39:42 orange dovecot: auth-worker(7815): pam(david(a)virtdomain.de,<ip address>): pam_authenticate() failed: Authentication failure (password mismatch?) Mar 19 11:39:42 orange dovecot: auth: passwd(david(a)virtdomain.de,<ip address>,<T58IuUTYvgDZbill>): unknown user Mar 19 11:39:42 orange dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<david(a)virtdomain.de>, method=PLAIN, rip=<...>, lip=<...>, mpid=7816, TLS Could I set up dovecot authentication so *users that authenticate with only their username (i.e. system users) always and only use PAM authentication *users that authenticate with their e-mail-address always and only use SQL authentication ???

[Dovecot] Override quota settings with LDAP
by Hanno Hirschberger 20 Mar '13

20 Mar '13

Hi all, my current Dovecot setup is fetching both the imap quota limit and the mail location settings from LDAP entries. user_attrs = [...] UDBmailQuota=quota_rule=*:bytes=%$, mailLocation=mail That is because we have 3 users who wants to fetch their mail from /var/mail/<username>. All the other users have maildir with maildir quota. The LDAP entry for /var/mail user looks like this: mailLocation: mbox:/var/empty:INBOX=/var/mail/<username>:INDEX=MEMORY Works fine with one exception: the mail quota for /var/mail users. The dovecot log gets spammed with: Mar 20 13:37:04 lmtp(2494, username): Warning: quota: Namespace '' is not Maildir, skipping for Maildir++ quota Mar 20 13:37:04 lmtp(2494, username): Error: opendir(/var/empty/.imap) failed: No such file or directory ... which is only logical, because there's no maildir for that user. I want to get rid of these error messages and like to ask you if there's a way to override the "quota = maildir:User quota" setting in my Dovecot configuration for the 3 /var/mail users. For example with an extra LDAP field? Sadly I don't really know how to realize this. Or is there any other / better way? You can look at my doveconf -n output here: http://pastebin.com/mJZ2CXbg Best regards, Hanno

[Dovecot] shared folders and "subscriptions = yes"
by Lars Uhlmann 20 Mar '13

20 Mar '13

Example (dovecot 1.2.15): ,-[dovecot.conf] | namespace public { | separator = / | prefix = management | location = maildir:/path/to/management | subscriptions = yes | } | | namespace public { | separator = / | prefix = sales | location = maildir:/path/to/sales | subscriptions = yes | } `----- To have all IMAP-Users automatically updated their shared folder structure I use "subscriptions = yes". This works with the side effect, that all IMAP-Users can see _all_ folders in every namespace even if they do not have "lookup" access. This is of course not wanted. Is it possible to have dovecot check the ACL file in the root of a namespace before it parses the subscrptions file? regards Lars

[Dovecot] dsync migration questions
by Michael Smith (DF) 20 Mar '13

20 Mar '13

We are currently in the process of replacing one of our customer mail systems with a dovecot solution. However, one of the sticking points right now is how to get the old mail to the new system. On the dovecot side, we are using mdbox storage. On the old system we are using qpopper/mbox mailboxes in the following setup. All user inboxes are in /mnt/mail/mail_spool. Only select, privileged, users have mail folders in /mnt/mail/mail_spool/FOLDERS/user/. I know, insane setup, but it's almost 18 years legacy now. Like this... /mnt/mail/mail_spool/user1.mbox /mnt/mail/mail_spool/user2.mbox /mnt/mail/mail_spool/user3.mbox /mnt/mail/mail_spool/user4.mbox /mnt/mail/mail_spool/FOLDERS/user2/folder1.mbox /mnt/mail/mail_spool/FOLDERS/user2/folder2.mbox Also, the UIDs between the old system and the new dovecot solution are different. User1 may have uid 2134 on the old system, but have uid 193847 on the new system. We've tried the following. Note: User Anakin has a single message already in the new inbox. mkdir -p /mnt/mail/mail_spool/.migrate/ ln /mnt/mail/mail_spool/anakin /mnt/mail/mail_spool/.migrate/inbox chmod 644 /mnt/mail/mail_spool/.migrate/inbox dsync -D -v -R -u anakin(a)domain.com backup mbox:/mnt/mail/mail_spool/.migrate/ ... chmod 600 /mnt/mail/mail_spool/.migrate/inbox /bin/rm -rf /mnt/mail/mail_spool/.migrate dsync(root): Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib64/dovecot dsync(root): Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/lib10_quota_plugin.so dsync(root): Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/lib20_zlib_plugin.so dsync(root): Debug: auth input: anakin uid=1000001228 gid=1000001228 home=/var/spool/mail/CC/1000001228 quota_rule=*:storage=0:messages=0 dsync(root): Debug: Added userdb setting: plugin/quota_rule=*:storage=0:messages=0 dsync(root): Debug: Effective uid=1000001228, gid=1000001228, home=/var/spool/mail/CC/1000001228 dsync(root): Debug: Quota root: name=User quota backend=dict args=:file:/var/spool/mail/CC/1000001228/dovecot.quota dsync(root): Debug: Quota rule: root=User quota mailbox=* bytes=0 messages=0 dsync(root): Debug: dict quota: user=anakin, uri=file:/var/spool/mail/CC/1000001228/dovecot.quota, noenforcing=0 dsync(root): Debug: fs: root=/var/spool/mail/CC/1000001228/mail, index=/var/spool/mail/CC/1000001228/index, control=, inbox= dsync(root): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions from /var/spool/mail/CC/1000001228/mail: mode=0700 gid=-1 dsync(root): Debug: Effective uid=1000001228, gid=1000001228, home=/var/spool/mail/CC/1000001228 dsync(root): Debug: Quota root: name=User quota backend=dict args=:file:/var/spool/mail/CC/1000001228/dovecot.quota dsync(root): Debug: Quota rule: root=User quota mailbox=* bytes=0 messages=0 dsync(root): Debug: dict quota: user=anakin, uri=file:/var/spool/mail/CC/1000001228/dovecot.quota, noenforcing=0 dsync(root): Debug: mbox: INBOX defaulted to /mnt/test/mail_spool/.migrate/inbox dsync(root): Debug: fs: root=/mnt/test/mail_spool/.migrate, index=, control=, inbox=/mnt/test/mail_spool/.migrate/inbox dsync(anakin): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions from /mnt/test/mail_spool/.migrate: mode=0777 gid=-1 dsync(anakin): Error: Can't delete mailbox INBOX: INBOX can't be deleted. dsync(anakin): Debug: Namespace : Permission lookup failed from /var/spool/mail/CC/1000001228/mail/mailboxes/INBOX_b6845831821c42517c490000a72406a4 dsync(anakin): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions from /var/spool/mail/CC/1000001228/mail: mode=0700 gid=-1 dsync(anakin): Debug: Namespace : Permission lookup failed from /var/spool/mail/CC/1000001228/mail/mailboxes/INBOX_b6845831821c42517c490000a72406a4 dsync(anakin): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions from /var/spool/mail/CC/1000001228/mail: mode=0700 gid=-1 dsync(anakin): Info: INBOX: only in dest dsync(anakin): Info: INBOX: only in source dsync(anakin): Error: Trying to open a non-listed mailbox with guid=814b6332541c425169490000a72406a4 dsync(anakin): Error: msg iteration failed: Couldn't open mailbox 814b6332541c425169490000a72406a4 dsync(anakin): Error: Trying to open a non-listed mailbox with guid=814b6332541c425169490000a72406a4 Nothing was migrated. In some other combinations, trying to reproduce them again, it does migrate the old mail, but first destroys the existing mail in the new mailbox. Our goal is to cut mail delivery over to the new dovecot system (which will result in existing emails before migration), and then migrate the old mail *while* maintaining message UIDs. This is the easiest way to ensure no "lost" email with the migration. What are we doing wrong, and how do we achieve our goals? Thanks in advance. -- Michael Smith

[Dovecot] Logon with Client Certificate and OTP fallback
by dovecot.pkoch＠dfgh.net 20 Mar '13

20 Mar '13

Dear Dovecot experts, we have unusual authentication requirements, namely: - almost all of our user are using a smartcard to connect with our mailserver. Thunderbird is our friend here as it will use the smartcard as an additional certificate store and Thunderbird will do client certificate based authentication when connecting via SSL with a mailserver - there's no way (at least that I know of) for our iPad users to use a smartcard, so our iPad and iPhone users use OTP token (http://www.gooze.eu/catalog/otp-tokens-oath-0) For 10 years we are using a very simple POP3-server where I replaced the authentication routines with my own functions and these function are doing the following: 1) if the connection was made without SSL refuse to connect 2) if the client was using a client certificate extract the username from the certificate. Since we cannot stop Thunderbird from sending a username/passowrd-combination we compare the username from the certificate with the username Thunderbird has sent. If the usernames matches we allow access and ignore the password. 3) if the client did not sent a client certificate we calculate the current OneTimePassword of the users OTP-token and compare that with the password Thunderbird has sent. If the passwords matches we allow access. If a OTP-password was validated it can be used for 24 hours so our OTP-users must use their tokens only once a day. Now we would like to switch from POP3 to IMAP, so here are my questions: - can Dovecot be CONFIGURED to do the above. I compiled it yesterday and SSL client authentication works as expected. OTP seems to be supported via PAM and I can write a PAM-modul for our OTP-tokens, so OTP would be possible too. But how do I tell Dovecot to do OTP-auth as a fallback for ClientCert-auth. - I already looked into the sourcecode of Dovecot. Seems like all the authentication routines were built as pluggable modules. Is there any documentation out there on how how to built my own auth-module. Integrating the OTP-auth directly into Dovecot would be a lot easier (for me) than creating a PAM-module, so I would prefer that. If there was interest from other people I would add some configuration options to Dovecot (for example the location of the OTP-token list). Otherwise I would just hardcode everything into the source.

[Dovecot] ACL to make mailboxes populated by master account Read Only for regular users.
by Alex Cherniak 20 Mar '13

20 Mar '13

We have a solution using Dovecot as a secondary mail archive. All mailboxes are populated/groomed by master account and the actual users have only read access. This is achieved by a simple ACL approach. dovecot.conf has protocol imap { mail_plugins = acl quota imap_quota zlib } plugin { acl = vfile:/etc/dovecot/acls:cache_secs=300 } /etc/dovecot/acls/.DEFAULT file is trivial: user=master lrwstipekxa owner lr It used to work with Dovecot 2.0.4 for years, but after upgrade to 2.0.18 users now have full access to folders created by master account and can delete, add and move mails. Should it behave this way? How can I "secure" mailboxes again? Any help is appreciated.

[Dovecot] Lot of dovecot process writes
by Angel L. Mateo 20 Mar '13

20 Mar '13

Hello, While monitoring my servers' behaviour (ubuntu 12.04 with dovecot 2.1.9, with about 70000 users) I have found that lots of disk usage is done by dovecot process (the parent process). Since lmtp, imap and pop3 connections are handle by their own process, what could be the reason of this? -- Angel L.

[Dovecot] Maildir or Mdbox and expunge messages.
by Evgeny Basov 20 Mar '13

20 Mar '13

Hello. I tested dovecot's work with expunge messages on Mdbox over strace (see at tail of message). As I can see dovecot process opens old storage m.* file, reads it content, opens new temporary file, writes in this one content and rename this new one to m.(*+1). How fast this algorithm works on system with about 10000 users and 5Tb data? I will use mdbox_rotate_interval for delayed expunge but I think that simple delete file in Maildir must be faster than expunge from Mdbox.

[Dovecot] Stability of extraction of attachment
by Angel L. Mateo 20 Mar '13

20 Mar '13

Hello, We are migrating our dovecot servers from 2.1.9 to 2.1.15 (or 2.2 if there is a stable version soon) and maildir format to mdbox. Looking for mdbox options I have found options: * mail_attachment_dir * mail_attachement_min_size * mail_attachment_fs * mail_attachment_hash but this options are described with the message: # WARNING: This feature hasn't been tested much yet. Use at your own risk. What is the state of these options? Could I use it in a production environment? In case of yes, what is the best deduplicating option? Let it to the FS? Or configuring with "sis posix" or "sis-queue posix"? -- Angel L.

[Dovecot] Exposing masteruser info to cllients via lmtp-proxy connections
by Alexandr Sabitov 20 Mar '13

20 Mar '13

Hello, Please somebody suggest me how to remove the "*masteruser" appendix from the dovecot director database while using masteruser authentication. My situation is: - all users get authenticated in LDAP on the dovecot-director frontend - then they are forwarded to dovecot backend as username*masteruser ( this is a way how to proxy users with encrypted passwords). To enable it a added an extra field in LDAP-dovecot configuration: destuser=%u*masteruser This works OK, but problems are: - I have lmtp-proxy on the dovecot frontend and I have to use the same "%u*masteruser" field in lmtp passdb because the director thinks that me(a)mail.com and me(a)mail.com*masteruser are different users and would send lmtp-proxy connections to other dovecot backend. Here is a problem: "Delivery-To" and "Received" fields in any email contains "*masteruser" ! I need to remove any mentions about "masteruser" authentication from client emails. Also another little problem: - If I run "doveadm status" tool then to get user's data I need to specify user as "username*masteruser" Thank you in advance. Alexandr Sabitov Netregistry

[Dovecot] v2.2 status update
by Timo Sirainen 20 Mar '13

20 Mar '13

So, I'm still planning on getting v2.2.0 out Really Soon now. Unfortunately I've had to quickly develop some rather large features still at this stage. I was initially planning on leaving them for v2.3, but they were a requirement for one project and implementing them now to v2.2 was the least amount of trouble for me. (And yes, I'm aware I haven't replied to a lot of emails in this list. There are about 60 unread ones. Hopefully I'll have time to go through them this week.) So, what we have now: * dsync can sync ACLs * dsync can sync Sieve scripts - Slightly unfinished patch for Pigeonhole at http://dovecot.org/patches/2.2/doveadm-sieve-plugin.diff * dsync does the ACL/Sieve syncing by having implemented generic mailbox attribute syncing. (The ACLs/Sieve scripts are transparently mapped into the attribute hierarchy.) ACL plugin also supports now restricting attribute set/get/iteration. IMAP METADATA extension can be implemented using mailbox attributes. The dsync/ACL support was the main reason why I had planned on delaying native IMAP METADATA support until v2.3, but there's really no reason for that anymore. So expect IMAP METADATA support also early in v2.2.x (disabled by default). I'll still need to figure out how to do quota for it. * LDAP values can now have DN pointers to other entries that are queried. (Support for LDAP URLs could probably also be added with little trouble.) The configuration becomes a bit more complex again, but until the whole LDAP configuration is redesigned this will work. Example: user_attrs = \ =user=%{ldap:uid}, \ @mail=%{ldap:mailDN}, \ =uid=%{ldap:uidNumber@mail}, \ =gid=%{ldap:gidNumber@mail}, \ =home=%{ldap:rootPath@mail}/%d/%n

Dear sir, I have to set up a mail gateway which will be explored to Internet and a secure mail server in the Intranet. I need a smart imap proxy in the mail gateway which will fetch the mail from server and present to user through either a stand alone mail client or a web mail client. All authentication is through ldap server. I have installed Dovecot 2.2 Unstable in my Ubuntu 12.04 with ssl enabled But when I am starting dovecot, I am getting the following error *doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /usr/local/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf line 12: Unknown setting: ssl_cert* I couldn't figure out what is wrong. Please help me to sort it out.

Did you verified that the header "To" really exists in the message and that "info(a)info.xx.com" is part of it? The log you've posted displays the envelope information, which is not necessary the same as the header information. Also, remove the precompiled Sieve script, in order to ensure that the pre-compiled one is really one from the script. You could also decompile it to make sure, it has been created from your test script. You'll find sieve-dump in src/sieve-tools/, if you compile from sources, or maybe in /usr/local/bin.

[Dovecot] SMTP Client authentication to remote Postfix/Dovecot
by Christian Benke 19 Mar '13

19 Mar '13

Hello! This is probably another basic question and i'm not even sure if it's something where Dovecot is involved, but i'll give it a shot. So i've setup Postfix with Dovecot and system-auth on my remote server. So far it looks like everything is working fine and dandy via SASL(PLAIN) and TLS. I'm just not happy about my local SMTP client settings. I'm going to try to work with mutt in the future, so i need a local MTA - i've decided to try it with Postfix. This works so far and i can send mails with mutt. However - my setup relies on smtp_sasl_password_maps for authentication. I'm not too happy to have plaintext-passwords of remote systems lying around on my local filesystem. It doesn't really ease my mind that the file is readable by root only, this doesn't help if my laptop's harddisk gets mounted elsewhere. Are there alternatives or better ways to do SMTP authentication? http://www.postfix.org/SASL_README.html#server_cyrus_comm says: > saslauthd can verify the SMTP client credentials by using them to log into an IMAP server So i have my mutt-client which is logged in to the remote Dovecot IMAP. Mutt uses the local MTA to send the mail. Is there some way to tell the local postfix or a local dovecot to authenticate the SMTP-Session via the existing IMAP-login? Or some other way where i at least don't rely on plaintext passwords but secure, encrypted hashes? Sorry if this is a redundant thread, "smtp client" authentication site:dovecot.org/list' and the likes are not exactly the most rewarding or unique search terms unfortunately. Thanks, Christian -- Central Asia by bike, starting May 2013 - http://poab.org
