[Dovecot] ACL, forced INBOX subscription
by Matthias Rieber 06 Jul '10

06 Jul '10

Hi, I've two accounts 'matthias' and 'mailverwalter'. Mailverwalter want's to share the Spam folder: This is the situation in the beginning: (matthias) a LIST (SUBSCRIBED) "common." "*" a OK List completed. a LIST (SUBSCRIBED) "common.mailverwalter" "*" a OK List completed. (mailverwalter) a GETACL Spam * ACL "Spam" "mailverwalter" lrwstipekxacd a OK Getacl completed. a GETACL INBOX * ACL "INBOX" "mailverwalter" lrwstipekxacd a OK Getacl completed. So far so good. Mailverwalter sets the list permission: (mailverwalter) a SETACL "Spam" "matthias" l a OK Setacl complete. a GETACL "Spam" * ACL "Spam" "matthias" l "mailverwalter" lrwstipekxacd a OK Getacl completed. a GETACL "INBOX" * ACL "INBOX" "mailverwalter" lrwstipekxacd a OK Getacl completed. That's ok as well and I want to make sure that the INBOX doesn't have any other permission. After that, some listing: (matthias) a LIST (SUBSCRIBED) "common." "*" a OK List completed. a LIST (SUBSCRIBED) "common.mailverwalter." "*" a OK List completed. That's also ok, nothing subscribed. (matthias) a LIST "common.mailverwalter." "*" * LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "." "common.mailverwalter" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "common.mailverwalter.Spam" a OK List completed. This normal folder listing seems to be ok, too, and then listing of the subcribed folders again: (matthias) a LIST (SUBSCRIBED) "common.mailverwalter." "*" * LIST (\Subscribed \NonExistent) "." "common.mailverwalter.INBOX" a OK List completed. And then, the INBOX is subscribed and \NonExistent because I don't have permissions on it. The folder stays subscribed as long as I'm connected to the server. When I disconnect and do the LIST (SUBSCRIBED) again, the folder is not subscribed as long I do not 'normal' list it. Happens with dovecot 1.2.11, haven't tried 2.0 yet. I assume that's not the intended behaviour. This INBOX folder confuses the Nokia n900 email client a lot, but it doesn't matter if it can be accessed or not. Regards, Matthias

[Dovecot] Jul 06 13:00:50 dovecot: Warning: I/O leak: 806ef10 (36)
by Dennis Clarke 06 Jul '10

06 Jul '10

I'm currently fighting my way through the dovecot configuration pages and endless options to see if I can just get my mail from the server. Thus far no joy but dovecot seems to be working if I could figure out the configuration. My process thus far has been : 1) read docs 2) try a config change 3) fail 4) goto (1) I just saw an error while trying to read my /var/mail/dclarke good 'ol mbox in the message.log : Jul 06 12:58:50 IMAP(dclarke): Error: mbox root directory can't be a file: /var/mail/dclarke/ (http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailLocation/Mbox) So I figure I better go read that page again and see what I did wrong this time. I guess this is wrong : mail_location: mbox:/var/mail/%u Even though that is where the mail actually is : # ls -lap /var/mail total 34 drwxrwxrwt 3 root mail 6 Jul 6 02:19 ./ drwxr-xr-x 47 root sys 47 May 30 02:52 ../ drwxrwxr-x 2 root mail 2 May 29 23:47 :saved/ -rw-rw---- 1 dclarke mail 0 Jul 5 16:01 dclarke -rw-rw---- 1 lucone mail 657 Jul 2 17:55 lucone -rw-rw---- 1 root mail 8705 Jul 2 05:40 root # I shutdown the dovecot service on Solaris via svcadm and saw this in the error log : Jul 06 13:00:50 dovecot: Warning: I/O leak: 806ef10 (36) Jul 06 13:00:50 dovecot: Warning: I/O leak: 806ef10 (30) Jul 06 13:00:50 dovecot: Warning: I/O leak: 806ef10 (26) Jul 06 13:00:50 dovecot: Warning: I/O leak: 806ef10 (24) I'm not too sure what that means but it doesn't look good.

[Dovecot] Multiple authentication backends
by Wouter van der Schagt 06 Jul '10

06 Jul '10

Good morning, I have a question. Currently we are using Dovecot to handle our pop3, pop3s, imap and imaps connections. Our virtual domain management backend is vpopmail. Which works beautifully. Our current setup requires users to login with their email address and password (user@domain). We are now looking at migrating another server to our environment where users are logging in with their username only. This is because unlike virtual users these mailboxes have corresponding system users on the server. Ideally we would like to migration for the end user as easy as possible without requiring them to make changes to their settings. Is it possible to configure Dovecot to handle multiple authentication back-ends or do any of you have found a solution to a similar problem before? Sincerely, - Wouter van der Schagt

[Dovecot] doveadm stop
by Andreas Schulze 06 Jul '10

06 Jul '10

hello I start dovecot via daemontools and use "dovecot -F". "doveadm stop" does correctly stop dovecot. Of course dovecot will restart not a second later. Is it possible, that "doveadm stop" detect that dovecot is started with -F an print an informational log ? I think, it's helpfull, because in this special setup "doveadm stop" can and will not do what the the user expects from the name. -- Andreas Schulze Internetdienste | P532 DATEV eG 90329 Nürnberg | Telefon +49 911 319-0 | Telefax +49 911 319-3196 E-Mail info @datev.de | Internet www.datev.de Sitz: 90429 Nürnberg, Paumgartnerstr. 6-14 | Registergericht Nürnberg, GenReg Nr.70 Vorstand Prof. Dieter Kempf (Vorsitzender) Dipl.-Kfm.

[Dovecot] NFS(4) IMAP Quota
by Martin Schanzenbach 05 Jul '10

05 Jul '10

Hi *, We use nfs4 in combination with dovecot. Also (hard)quotas are used on the exports. Using the dovecot quota fs plugin things did not work at all. There were a few issues we encountered: 1. Nfs4 is not recognized. The problem is that the mount type is only checked for "nfs" and not nfs4. This was an easy fix. 2. The (fs)path for nfs4 that is relayed to rquotad has to be without the leading "/". This was an easy fix, too. (borrowed from linuxquota: http://linuxquota.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/linuxquota/quota-tools/rquota_… ) 3. Maybe because we do not use softquotas the quota active boolean (rq_active) in the rquota struct is always false. So we hackishly removed this check. This problem also occured here: http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2009-May/039593.html Apparently quota-tools do not check for this either (not needed?). 4. As metioned above we only use hardquotas but the plugin only reports softquotas. In my patch below I changed the behaviour: Check softquota == 0. If true then use hardquota, else softquota. Maybe you can use some of those fixes. I think at least #3 is reproducible (see ml post). The hard vs softquota behaviour is certainly a matter of discussion. The nfs4 "fixes" are actually more like feature requests that I think should be added to the plugin in one way or another. I created a diff of my changes to quota-fs.c.

Look at "doveconf -a service" output. For each service 1) that has service_count=1, the client limits have no effect. only a single client is ever served. 2) that has client_limit != 0, that limit is used 3) otherwise, default_client_limit is used

Here is 1.2.12 on opensolaris 2009.06 While that is very far away from production Solaris 8 it is a valid datapoint.

However, your dovecot compiled on that OpenSolaris beta release won't run anywhere else but on that machine. In fact, no promises on that[1] OpenSolaris release either. :-) Dennis [1] keep in mind that there ha never been a prod ready release of OpenSolaris. Maybe someday but Oracle isn't talking. :-(

[Dovecot] Replacing real inbox by virtual inbox
by François-Xavier Payet 05 Jul '10

05 Jul '10

Hello, I'm using dovecot 1.2.11 with virtual folders. I'd like to replace my real INBOX by a virtual one but I have several questions : * will my mail still be delivered to my real INBOX? * will I be able to access my real INBOX, for example using a virtual folder reliyng on INBOX * and, how to do it. Here's my problem, if I look to the wiki page [1], I don't really understand what the _NAMESPACE_1_INBOX_ and the _NAMESPACE_2_INBOX_ stands for. Plus, I can't put my paths in my scripts, as they use %d and %u (see below) which, if I understand correctly, aren't available for PostLoginScripts.

[Dovecot] Dovecot git mirror
by David Woodhouse 05 Jul '10

05 Jul '10

I've been working on Evolution's 'imapx' back end to support QRESYNC, and was going to look at NOTIFY next. Then I realised I may have to look at implementing it on the server side first. Before I can even contemplate that, though, I had to mirror it into git. I've always resisted the one-version-control-system-per-child craze, and these days if I'm even contemplating a project which is using some other version control system, I'll start by importing it into a git repo. Thus: git://git.infradead.org/dovecot/dovecot-1.0 git://git.infradead.org/dovecot/dovecot-1.1 git://git.infradead.org/dovecot/dovecot-1.2 git://git.infradead.org/dovecot/dovecot-2.0 These are browsable in gitweb as: http://git.infradead.org/dovecot/dovecot-1.0 http://git.infradead.org/dovecot/dovecot-1.1 http://git.infradead.org/dovecot/dovecot-1.2 http://git.infradead.org/dovecot/dovecot-2.0 The mirrors are updated hourly, at 15 minutes past the hour. When making such a mirror, I usually try to ensure that it's imported in such a way that that the project maintainer(s) _could_ switch to using it as their primary VCS if they wanted to -- and a number of projects have actually done so. But I'm not arguing for that; I'm just making the repository available in git form in case it's useful to anyone else who, like me, doesn't really want to install and learn to use all of arch/hg/bzr/monotone/svn/etc for various different projects. No VCS flame wars please. -- dwmw2

[Dovecot] v2.0.rc1 released
by Timo Sirainen 04 Jul '10

04 Jul '10

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/rc/dovecot-2.0.rc1.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/rc/dovecot-2.0.rc1.tar.gz.sig All of the important features are implemented and all of the important bugs are fixed. The only thing I'd like to solve before v2.0.0 is that two people have said their doveconf fails when trying to convert old v1.x config file. I haven't been able to reproduce this, so if it happens to anyone I'd like to know about it (and even better, get access to a test system where it happens, since it doesn't seem to be caused by the config file itself). There's at least one installation that has already used v2.0 + mdbox for months in production. A lot of bugs have been fixed thanks to them. So I'm expecting this release to be rather stable and v2.0.0 hopefully won't be too far away from now. So the "rc1" tag really means that this is a release candidate. After a few weeks go by without any important bug reports, I'll release v2.0.0. Largest changes since beta6: - Added man pages, mostly written by Pascal Volk. They're also synchronized to wiki in http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools - dsync syntax changed, although it's still compatible with old syntax. see http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Dsync for new syntax - dsync backup command added - dsync should now be stable (in theory anyway, more testing would probably be a good idea) - LMTP proxying supports director - director should now be stable - Single-dbox should now be stable - mdbox locking behavior modified. when rebuilding indexes it can no longer fail with deadlocks - fsync_disable=no was renamed to mail_fsync = optimized (default) - fsync_disable=yes was renamed to mail_fsync = never. - added a new mail_fsync = always (basically what mail_nfs_*=yes also did before, but now it can be done without enabling NFS cache flushes) Plus lots of fixes, as usual.

[Dovecot] Dovecot and IPv6
by Steven King 03 Jul '10

03 Jul '10

Hello, I am trying to run Dovecot with IPv6 and IPv4. I have the following command in my conf: listen = * This makes Dovecot listen on all addresses on IPv4. I then add: listen = [::] So the conf now has both listen lines. This forces Dovecot to listen on all IPv6 addresses, but it no longer responds to requests on IPv4. Is there a way to get Dovecot to listen on both protocols? -- Steve King Senior Linux Engineer - Advance Internet, Inc.

Hi all after lots of trial and error and the help of THIS mail list, finally my dovecot-postfix combination seems to work yet the dovecot mail spool always is empty all mail forwarded to my main mail server - but i have no mail relay configured. why is the mail NOT in the dovecot inbox but forwarded to another mail server ?? and why does postconf -A show cyrus and NOT dovecot ?? below some relevant config data. my goal is to have a clean simple dovecot+postfix mail system with nothing else (cyrus or so) involved when ever possible. ---------- DNS MX stuff dig mx kriyayoga.com ;; ANSWER SECTION: kriyayoga.com. 3600 IN MX 10 smtp.kriyayoga.com. kriyayoga.com. 3600 IN MX 0 mail.kriyayoga.com. the new dovecot setup is tested on smtp.kriyayoga.com and when successfully working shall be used on both mail MX servers. ---------- postfix stuff relevant to dovecot > postconf -A cyrus > postconf -a cyrus dovecot my postconf -n shows nothing about cyrus in the config NOR anything about mail-relay to my main MX relayhost = mailbox_transport = mailbox_command = smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot virtual_transport = dovecot ---------- below the mail log for sending mail to my dovecot box Jul 3 20:31:08 kriyayoga postfix/smtpd[27801]: connect from unknown[124.108.51.96] Jul 3 20:31:08 kriyayoga dovecot: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=27801 Jul 3 20:31:09 kriyayoga dovecot: auth(default): client in: AUTH#0111#011PLAIN#011service=smtp#011nologin#011lip=78.46.101.111#011rip=124.108.51.96#011resp=aGFucwBoYW5zAEk4Q3Nhd084MUR4Y1JlTTh1QmgwTA== Jul 3 20:31:09 kriyayoga dovecot: auth(default): passwd-file(hans,124.108.51.96): lookup: user=hans file=/etc/dovecot/passwd Jul 3 20:31:09 kriyayoga dovecot: auth(default): client out: OK#0111#011user=hans Jul 3 20:31:09 kriyayoga postfix/smtpd[27801]: BC90129D9F: client=unknown[124.108.51.96], sasl_method=PLAIN, sasl_username=hans Jul 3 20:31:10 kriyayoga postfix/cleanup[27807]: BC90129D9F: message-id=<201007032031.07830.hans(a)kriyayoga.com> Jul 3 20:31:10 kriyayoga postfix/qmgr[14627]: BC90129D9F: from=<hans(a)kriyayoga.com>, size=1287, nrcpt=2 (queue active) Jul 3 20:31:10 kriyayoga postfix/smtp[27808]: BC90129D9F: to=<hans(a)kriyayoga.com>, relay=mail.kriyayoga.com[88.198.14.45]:25, delay=0.95, delays=0.5/0.01/0.17/0.26, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 Ok: queued as 97FCE138024) Jul 3 20:31:10 kriyayoga postfix/smtp[27808]: BC90129D9F: to=<hans(a)kriyayoga.com>, relay=mail.kriyayoga.com[88.198.14.45]:25, delay=0.95, delays=0.5/0.01/0.17/0.26, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 Ok: queued as 97FCE138024) Jul 3 20:31:10 kriyayoga postfix/qmgr[14627]: BC90129D9F: removed at this point the mail is gone already - NO mail in my dovecot inbox - NO error - just automatically relayed to my main MX ---------- any help or tip or pointer to a howto is welcome and highly appreciated. greetings Hans <hans(a)kriyayoga.com> Cyberspace Ashram http://www.kriyayoga.com/

[Dovecot] dovecot: pop3-login: Internal login failure - howto add dovecot users that are NO server users
by Hans Neukomm 02 Jul '10

02 Jul '10

Hi all my Linux system: opensuse 11.2 my mail system: postfix - dovecot my key problem since several days googling and testing is: how can I have a pop account with dovecot for a user if that user is NO linux system user it appears to me that most auth mechanisms somehow expect a mail user also to be a linux system user either to be found in the /etc/passwd or /etc/alias on my 4 servers I have NO users at all registered, NO login at all for any normal user - incl me. I strictly work as root and with serverkey auth on a tightly secured system since many years my goal is to have the most simple possible mail system - one user to send/receive (me) may be a very few friends with a pop3 account - that's that I have since many years - using cyrus. now I want to move to dovecot and I missed somehow since many days searching to find a simple howto add mail users - just for mail - pop3 and smtp, no imap, no home directory, etc I think that most of the errors I get in my mail log are about user unknown, I try different variations of postfix main.cf found in www the result always is some error like the newest dovecot: pop3-login: Internal login failures - below the last mail log - after I added a user to /etc/passwd hans:x:1000:100:xxxx yyyyyyy::/sbin/nologin ------------- dovecot: auth(default): client in: AUTH#0111#011PLAIN#011service=pop3#011secured#011lip=127.0.0.1#011rip=127.0.0.1#011lport=110#011rport=53082#011resp=AGhhbnMASThDc2F3TzgxRHhjUmVNOHVCaDBM dovecot: auth(default): passwd-file(hans,127.0.0.1): lookup: user=hans file=/etc/dovecot/passwd dovecot: auth(default): client out: OK#0111#011user=hans dovecot: auth(default): master in: REQUEST#0112#01115510#0111 dovecot: auth(default): passwd(hans,127.0.0.1): lookup dovecot: auth(default): master out: USER#0112#011hans#011system_groups_user=hans#011uid=1000#011gid=100#011home= dovecot: dovecot: Relative home directory paths not supported (user hans): dovecot: pop3-login: Internal login failure (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=<hans>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured ------------- WITHOUT the user hans entry in /etc/passwd I get the following mail log errors ------------- Jul 1 02:43:01 kriyayoga dovecot: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=17860 Jul 1 02:43:22 kriyayoga dovecot: auth(default): client in: AUTH#0111#011PLAIN#011service=pop3#011lip=78.46.101.111#011rip=124.108.51.96#011lport=110#011rport=50152#011resp=AGhhbnMASThDc2F3TzgxRHhjUmVNOHVCaDBM Jul 1 02:43:22 kriyayoga dovecot: auth(default): passwd-file(hans,124.108.51.96): lookup: user=hans file=/etc/dovecot/passwd Jul 1 02:43:22 kriyayoga dovecot: auth(default): client out: OK#0111#011user=hans Jul 1 02:43:22 kriyayoga dovecot: auth(default): master in: REQUEST#0112#01117840#0111 Jul 1 02:43:22 kriyayoga dovecot: auth(default): passwd(hans,124.108.51.96): lookup Jul 1 02:43:22 kriyayoga dovecot: auth(default): passwd(hans,124.108.51.96): unknown user Jul 1 02:43:22 kriyayoga dovecot: auth(default): userdb(hans,124.108.51.96): user not found from userdb passwd Jul 1 02:43:22 kriyayoga dovecot: auth(default): master out: NOTFOUND#0112 Jul 1 02:43:22 kriyayoga dovecot: pop3-login: Internal login failure (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=<hans>, method=PLAIN, rip=124.108.51.96, lip=78.46.101.111 ------------- any help or pointer to a solution or howto setup dovecot pop3 accounts for non-system users would be MOST welcome greetings hans

[Dovecot] dovecot ldap search result ordering?
by chasye 02 Jul '10

02 Jul '10

I use openLDAP as dovecot pass/user db. here is main part of dovecot-ldap.conf: pass_attrs = mail=user, uid=userdb_home=/home/xadmin/%d/%$,userPassword=password pass_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%u)) default_pass_scheme = SSHA user_attrs = mail=user, uid=home=/home/xadmin/%d/%$ user_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(|(mail=%u)(mailAlias=%u))) It works fine, but some account failed to get their domain in pass_attrs. I check the log. when it success, the result order is "mail, uid, userPassword" when it failed, the order is "userPassword, uid, mail" we just use a username to login. I think dovecot cant get the domain before username changed to "username@domain". So can dovecot sort the result order and How? -- 　　多情卻似總無情，　　唯覺尊前笑不成。　　蠟燭有心還惜別，　　替人垂淚到天明。
