Hi Timo, I solved the problem. The problem was the right order in dovecot.conf. "userdb ldap" should stand in front of "userdb static".

[Dovecot] Secondary groups from ldap
by Ian Levesque 17 Sep '09

17 Sep '09

Hello, I'm trying to configure my user_attrs using LDAP as the userdb so that dovecot knows what secondary groups a user is a member of. The LDAP backend is an Open Directory implementation, which stores secondary group affiliations as memberUid attributes in cn=groupname,cn=groups,dc=dns,dc=name,dc=server. With ldapsearch, my query would be: ldapsearch -x -b cn=groups,dc=dns,dc=name,dc=server "(memberUid=ian)" cn Is this possible to configure in Dovecot? Thanks, Ian

[Dovecot] Upgrade Question about mail_location
by John Dubchak 17 Sep '09

17 Sep '09

Hi, I plan on upgrading from 1.1.13 to 1.2.4 using an RPM. I have read the wiki [1] and have a question about the mail_location variable. Currently, in 1.1.13, I use: mail_location = maildir:/var/spool/virtual_mailboxes/%h with virtual mailboxes. However, I am planning to change it to use: home=/var/spool/virtual_mailboxes mail_location = maildir:%h as part of the new configuration. Is that correct or have I misinterpreted the wiki? Thanks, John [1] http://wiki.dovecot.org/Upgrading/1.2

[Dovecot] General question for Dovecot under OpenBSD
by jean-francois 15 Sep '09

15 Sep '09

Hello All, First of all thanks a lot for providing a quality software such as Dovecot. I am having troubles for setting up the config files of OpenBSD's binary package of Dovecot, flavor sieve/mysql. Do you know where some documentation could be found for setting up correctly the .conf (dovecot.conf & dovecot-sql.conf) since it does not even load ("Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot.conf line 871: Unknows setting: args"). I shall understand that the problem lies in dovecot-sql.conf, which is not a file I understand well and can configure correctly, as it seems. Some more docs/infos about this issue could be helpful. Thks, JF

[Dovecot] Thunderbird does not find the right folders :-(
by sterkel＠gmx.de 15 Sep '09

15 Sep '09

Moika, Overnight, I migrated my user-mails from uw-imap to dovecot-maildir. I used the uw2dovecot.pl script to convert all mails and changed exim, too. Receiving mails works fine allready, but nobody can access the usual subscribed folders with thunderbird. Via "subscriptions" I can find the converted folders in a folder called "_" (underline). People getting mad about me as the cannot find their stuff any more in the usual folders. What can I do that they have the converted stuff in the same folders as they had before?

[Dovecot] 1.2.4 Maildir Quota Issues

Has anybody noticed this behavior when using maildir quota with Version 1.2.4: # 1.2.4: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.26-2-686-bigmem i686 Debian 5.0.3 xfs My default configurations quota configurations: plugin: quota: maildir:User quota quota_rule: *:storage=2G Customized Use Configurations at the Mysql level: user_query = SELECT 5000 AS uid,5000 AS gid,'/vmail/%d/%n' as home, \ concat('*:storage= ', virtual_users.quota_kb) AS quota_rule \ from virtual_users LEFT JOIN virtual_domains ON virtual_users.domain_id=virtual_domains.id \ where virtual_users.user='%n' and virtual_domains.name='%d' When I change quota at the SQL level (per user), that quota becomes active once Dovecot is restarted. Until then it keeps the previous quota assigned. I do not remember seeing this behavior in previous versions --quota was active after sql changes. M.A.

[Dovecot] fixing deleted-to-trash-plugin
by Lex Brugman 15 Sep '09

15 Sep '09

Hi, I'm currently trying to make the deleted-to-trash-plugin work with dovecot v1.2.4, without this plugin the trash mailbox is pretty useless with mail clients like Evolution and Outlook, I still can't believe this functionality isn't intergrated into dovecot since it doesn't even influence the operation of other mail clients that do support this option theirselfs (even when turned on, the plugin detects this and doesn't break the client's functionality). I have modified the plugin to run without errorsin 1.2.4, when using a mail client which doesn't support this feature in the client itself, (according to my debug and the mail-log plugin output) everything works, but the mails are deleted as expected but not visible in the Trash box, it looks like they where copied to /dev/null :P (even though the log output makes me think otherwise). Log output: Sep 09 20:21:09 IMAP(xxx(a)xxx.xxx): Info: opening Trash succeeded Sep 09 20:21:09 IMAP(xxx(a)xxx.xxx): Info: from INBOX to Trash, previous action from (null) Sep 09 20:21:09 IMAP(xxx(a)xxx.xxx): Info: copy: uid=11, dest=Trash, msgid=<7706BCE6-6882-473C-B7F3-62AE3F75F632(a)xxx.xxx>, size=1718 Sep 09 20:21:09 IMAP(xxx(a)xxx.xxx): Info: copying to Trash succeeded Sep 09 20:21:09 IMAP(xxx(a)xxx.xxx): Info: delete: uid=11, msgid=<7706BCE6-6882-473C-B7F3-62AE3F75F632(a)xxx.xxx> The clients I used to test: Evolution and Outlook (they both don't support this feature from the client) and the mail client on an iPhone (which does support this feature, the plugin detects that the client already copied the mail to the Trash box and skips it). I'm really stuck here :( no errors, the logs tell me everything went fine, but it didn't. The source is attached, any help is greatly appreciated! Gr, Lex Brugman

[Dovecot] Crash: imap process, Dovecot 1.2.4, related to ACLs (backtrace included)
by Andreas Ntaflos 14 Sep '09

14 Sep '09

Hi, I started experimenting with ACLs and found I could reliably and reproducibly crash the IMAP process when trying to create a subfolder of a folder that has has ACLs set. The folder is called "Sent" with an ACL of "owner lrwstipke". I wanted to be able to have certain folders the the user cannot delete but where subfolders can be created freely. Relevant information follows and I hope the backtrace is useful (lots of "value optimized out" entries). You can also find everything from below on <https://daff.pseudoterminal.org/misc/dovecot/>.

[Dovecot] Dovecot+PAM advice please?
by S. A. Woltering 14 Sep '09

14 Sep '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, sorry to bother you with this. I'm trying to set up an experimental system (which may become production if it ever gets off the ground) and it's not working. The short version: I'm trying to get Dovecot 1.2.4 to authenticate against a customised PAM module. In short, we're using a specialised OTP radius backend. One of my colleagues has coded up a PAM module for this backend. The IMAP service is on HP-UX11.23, IA64. The module is compiles into /usr/lib/security/hpux32 and is called "pam_cached_radius.so.0.0". The entry in /etc/pam.conf is: cached-radius auth required pam_cached_radius.so.0.0 The PAM module compiles OK, and my colleague's test suite (run, both as root and as our local "dovecot" user) works fine. When I use the following options in dovecot.conf: auth default { user = root mechanisms = plain passdb pam { args = cached-radius } userdb passwd { } } it fails leaving only the log entry below in syslog. Sep 14 09:15:15 elrond syslog: load_modules: can not open module /usr/lib/security/hpux32/pam_cached_radius.so.0.0 Sep 14 09:15:22 elrond syslog: load_modules: can not open module /usr/lib/security/hpux32/pam_cached_radius.so.0.0 (Always 2 entries). I appreciate that this probably isn't a dovecot issue per se, but it is suspicious that our test suite works and divecot can't access the module. I'd be most grateful if anyone could offer some possible avenues of investigation.

[Dovecot] Problems getting Dovecot to work.
by Mark Gillespie 14 Sep '09

14 Sep '09

Hi, having a nightmare trying to get dovecot working on my SheevaPlug (flash based ARM embedded device). I need to use virtual users, and I need to store all the mail on an external USB HDD (not in home directories which live in the limited flash space). However I can't even log in via telnet. I've followed the Wiki troubleshooting tips, and still no further forward. logging via telnet, I get: "user sheeva BAD Error in IMAP command received by server." the logs show: ubuntu dovecot: User sheeva is missing UID (see mail_uid setting) What do I need to do? I know basic Linux stuff, but I wouldn't call myself an expert, so please no tech talks!!! -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/

When I switch on auth_debug in dovecot, I see errors such as these in the logs: Aug 3 16:45:57 fury dovecot: auth(default): client in: AUTH 1 GSSAPI service=imap lip=10.1.0.20 rip=10.8.5.72 lport=143 rport=4027 Aug 3 16:45:57 fury dovecot: auth(default): gssapi(?,10.8.5.72): Using all keytab entries Aug 3 16:45:57 fury dovecot: auth(default): client out: CONT 1 Aug 3 16:45:57 fury dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Input buffer full (auth failed, 1 attempts): method=GSSAPI, rip=10.8.5.72, lip=10.1.0.20 Other users work perfectly (eg. all of the user accounts I tested against). Would this have been a bug that was fixed in 1.2.2 or is it something else? If it is most likely something else, I will post `dovecot -n`. -- Thanks, Phill Macey

I hadn't thought of setting mail_debug, don't know why :) Now I can see more clearly. It seems that ACL files such as "/etc/dovecot/acls/Backup.received" or "/etc/dovecot/acls/Backup.sent" are read, but when accessing the actual mailbox Dovecot looks for a file "/etc/dovecot/acls/received" or "/etc/dovecot/acls/sent". I.e. the mailbox names *without* the namespace prefix. This can't be the desired behaviour, can it? When I create such an ACL file (""/etc/dovecot/acls/sent") the defined restrictions seem to be applied. At least KMail doesn't even offer to "Delete message" anymore. Thunderbird does and messages can apparently be deleted, but they show up again upon reloading the folder. This is probably a Thunderbird issue. Horde/IMP is similar in this regard. The Public namespace however doesn't seem to be given any consideration at all by Dovecot. I can see the namespace root ("Public") in the folder subscription list, but nothing beneath it. Even when I apply the "fix" described in the previous paragraphs I still can't see any of the public folders. The log file doesn't show anything about this either. There are no "dovecot-acl" files at all, anywhere. I want to avoid having to use them, which is why I am trying to get global ACLs to work. The "dovecot-acl-list" files are created in every root directory, i.e. /var/mail/public/dovecot-acl-list, /var/vmail/example.org/username/Maildir/dovecot-acl-list and /var/vmail/example.org/username/Maildir-backup/dovecot-acl-list. All three are empty. So, the second issue (private namespace ACLs) could be a bug in Dovecot, unless I misunderstood how to name ACL files for mailboxes in other private namespaces. The first issue (invisibility of public folders) is still a mystery to me. Ideas? Thanks again for your reply!

[Dovecot] Question regarding reverse quota_warning
by jeroen＠intuxicated.org 14 Sep '09

14 Sep '09

Hi Everyone, I have a question regarding reverse quota_warnings. I'm building a new setup, and I would like to block sending messages if a person is over his/her quota limit. Although this can be accomplished using a quota_warning script, I can't find how to accomplish the reverse. Has anyone tried to do something like this? By looking at the source code: ---- quote ---- if ((bytes_before < (uint64_t)warnings[i].rule.bytes_limit && bytes_current >= (uint64_t)warnings[i].rule.bytes_limit) || (count_before < (uint64_t)warnings[i].rule.count_limit && count_current >= (uint64_t)warnings[i].rule.count_limit)) { quota_warning_execute(root, warnings[i].command); break; } ----- /quote ----- I think it could be as simple as adding a second if statement and prefixing a string, but that's not a very clean solution. Best regards, Jeroen Koekkoek

[Dovecot] [DOVECOT] quota_warning threshold from ldap
by Emmanuel Gonzalez 14 Sep '09

14 Sep '09

Hello all, I'm trying to get dovecot read three different quota_warnings values directly from ldap. I configured correctly the quota_rule value, know I'm trying to override this values: quota_warning = storage=95%% /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh 95 quota_warning2 = storage=80%% /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh 80 quota_warning3 = storage=70%% /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh 70 reading the values 95, 80 and 70 from ldap. I tried to do this in my dovecot-ldap.conf user_attrs = mailMessageStore=mail=maildir:/maildirs/%$,maildirquota=quota_rule=*:backend, *maildirwarn1*=quota_warning = storage=*maildirwarn1%% */usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh *maildirwarn1%%* I'm sure that I'm doing something wrong.

[Dovecot] Security holes in CMU Sieve plugin
by Timo Sirainen 14 Sep '09

14 Sep '09

A recently found security hole in Cyrus Sieve exists also in Dovecot, because Dovecot's Sieve plugin is based on libsieve from Cyrus project. I also found and fixed a few additional buffer overflows that I can't really understand why I hadn't noticed/fixed before. This security hole affects all installations that give their users any kind of ability to modify their Sieve scripts. Even if you give only limited access it might be enough for an attacker. For example forwarding a user's mails to about 100 addresses should do the trick. Since these are buffer overflows for variables in stack, they're very likely exploitable and allow attackers to execute arbitrary code as the user. Note that this security hole doesn't exist in Stephan Bosch's excellent new Sieve plugin for Dovecot v1.2. I encourage everyone to switch to using it as soon as possible. Who knows what other holes still lurk in libsieve. The bugs are fixed in v1.1.7 release for Dovecot v1.1+: http://dovecot.org/releases/sieve/dovecot-sieve-1.1.7.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/sieve/dovecot-sieve-1.1.7.tar.gz.sig and in v1.0.4 release for Dovecot v1.0: http://dovecot.org/releases/sieve/dovecot-sieve-1.0.4.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/sieve/dovecot-sieve-1.0.4.tar.gz.sig You can also get them as a patch: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-sieve-1.1/rev/049f22520628 http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-sieve-1.1/rev/4577c4e1130d

[Dovecot] Sieve and locale (Japanese)
by Jorgen Lundman 14 Sep '09

14 Sep '09

I have setup Dovecot-1.2 'delivery' to use Dovecot's Sieve as well (both versions are latest from dovecot.org) I am curious if sieve can handle Japanese, or locale, in general in the language. In particular, the subject which is encoded even more complicated. if header :contains "subject" ["test", "テスト"] { So if I want to file based on above, test, and tesuto (utf-8). Most Japanese mail is send in iso-2022-jp, will it use iconv to change to utf-8 before the test? Then handle the Subject encoding? (It's also possible to be in EUC-JP, but that is unusual). Or is it something on TODO? -- Jorgen Lundman | <lundman(a)lundman.net> Unix Administrator | +81 (0)3 -5456-2687 ext 1017 (work) Shibuya-ku, Tokyo | +81 (0)90-5578-8500 (cell) Japan | +81 (0)3 -3375-1767 (home)
