[Dovecot] Do not update status on imap connections
by Adrian Reber 12 Dec '08

12 Dec '08

Does an option like "pop3_no_flag_updates = yes" also exist for imap? Is it maybe planned? Or should I just provide a patch? Adrian

[Dovecot] dovecot howto?
by Olaf Zaplinski 11 Dec '08

11 Dec '08

Hi, is there a *simple* HOWTO that explains a simple postfix+dovecot setup? Up to now, I used postfix+cyrus, worked fine. But I do not get postfix+dovecot to work. Currently, all emails go to /dev/null. What really would help me is a dovecot lmtp server. Is there any? Regards Olaf postfix main.cf: # -- delivery options # local_recipient_maps = virtual_alias_maps = btree:/etc/postfix/virtual alias_maps = btree:/etc/postfix/aliases alias_database = btree:/etc/postfix/aliases # mailbox_command = /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver mailbox_transport = dovecot postfix master.cf: dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -f ${sender} -d ${recipient} dovecot.conf: mail_location = maildir:/home/vmail/%u namespace private { separator = '/' inbox = yes } auth default { mechanisms = cram-md5 plain verbose = yes passdb passwd-file { args = /etc/dovecot/passwd } userdb static { args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/home/vmail/%u } socket listen { client { # Assuming the default Postfix $queue_directory setting path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode = 0660 # Assuming the default Postfix user and group user = postfix group = postfix } } }

[Dovecot] removal of all keyword.
by Matthias Rieber 11 Dec '08

11 Dec '08

Hi, how can I remove all keywords from an existing Maildir/? After reading the docs I assume this might work: 1. Stopping dovecot 2. Removing all lowercase [a-z] from the filename flags 3. Removing the dovecot-keywords file 4. Removing the dovecot.index / dovecot.index.* files Is that correct? matthias

Yes, but when Dovecot is spawned as service, the user dovecot does not log in (through PAM anyway to have pam_limits invoked), therefore I assume that limits.conf does not take effect. > Dovecot ran with a lot of proccess here, something about 800~900 imap > proccess and 5~10 login-proccess to 300~400 simultaneous users... Hmm, I do remember something similiar when the new students arrived and the number of simultaneous logins increased above some limit. I added the ulimit command to init.d.

[Dovecot] Mixing MBOX and MAILDIR
by Romer Ventura 09 Dec '08

09 Dec '08

Hello, I have about 100 mboxes, a few with a lot of mails and others with a few mails. I have configured dovecot to use maildir as mail format, but I would like to give users the ability to access their old email located in their old mbox. So all the new mail would be in the ~/Maildir/ and their old or archived email in /home/vmail/mboxmail/%Ln How can I add a namespace to achieve my goal...? namespace private { separator = / hidden = yes prefix = "#mbox/" location = mbox:/home/vmail/mboxmail/%Ln/ } Like that...? Thanks for any inputs...

[Dovecot] LDA questions
by Romer Ventura 08 Dec '08

08 Dec '08

Hello, I am looking at the docs and I see this: Problems with deliver Namespaces are supported with v1.1 and later. With v1.0 and older versions mails can be delivered only to mailboxes specified by the mail_location setting. But in the dovecot.conf I see: # NOTE: Namespaces currently work ONLY with IMAP! POP3 and LDA currently ignore # namespaces completely, they use only the mail_location setting. I am running 1.1.7 so is that a typo in the dovecot.conf or the wiki page..? Also, I got postfix+dovecot configure to authenticate to Active Directory using pam_krb5 and I am able to login and send emails with pop3 or imap, but unable to receive emails since postfix complaints about the user not being found in the local recipient table. Now I have made a few changes, but I cant get to see deliver complaint, all I see is: postfix/smtpd[19924]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from ............: 550 5.1.1 <test1(a)domain.com>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table; So I think that it is not being passed to deliver... Master.cf has: dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DR user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -f ${sender} -d ${recipient} Main.cf has: virtual_mailbox_domains = your.domain.here virtual_transport = dovecot Any ideas..?

[Dovecot] Just some user input
by Brandon Lamb 08 Dec '08

08 Dec '08

Hi Timo, You may remember some of my mails, I was having unusual high load issues using pop3 with dovecot over nfs, and unusual being the load on anywhere from 1 to 4 servers would run at 2 to 4 for a week then all of a sudden would spike to 60 and higher (saw 150 once). I have been banging my head on the wall for the last 1.5 to 2 months since switching from courier to dovecot, the imap has worked great but the pop3 was a problem out the door. Anyway, I finally tried loading dovecot directly on our raid, all loads across the board dropped to the floor. The single P4 3ghz purrs along at an easy 0.30 load where the 1 to 4 quad core boxes with brand new hardware were loading up to 60 when using nfs. So, my experience has been that maildir, nfs and dovecot as the pop3 server was unusable. I wasnt really sure this whole time, it seemed odd that a single P4 box using nfs and courier pop3 could handle the entire system load but dovecot with the same and more quad cores fell over was weird. Anyway, this is totally not meant as a bashing or anything, just information. Im not a C programmer so I really cant offer anything but my input/observations. Maybe the pop3 part of dovecot isnt really given much love or people are mostly just interested in the imap server? Or maybe most people dont use nfs? Totally just assumptions here. A definite positive here though, after moving dovecot directly to the raid server, wow, our mail TOTALLY hauls ass now. Two of our managers both noticed the huge speed increase. One of them uses pop3 and leave messages on server and has almost 4,000 messages in the inbox on the server, his webmail now loads literally instantly, i click login and count 1 second. That is amazingly fast. I dont have any hard numbers, but before our upgrades his "feeling" was that he seems to remember it taking up to 30 seconds for webmail to load his mailbox. that is an incredible difference. Our webmail uses imap by the way, so this is probably a combination of moving from nfs and switching from courier to dovecot. Ok thanks for your great hard work and sorry for the novel size post.

[Dovecot] catching authentication failures with LDAP backend
by Udo Rader 06 Dec '08

06 Dec '08

Hi, we have recently been hit by a couple of brute force password attacks against dovecot. So what I want to do now is to add dovecot to fail2ban in order to block further attacks. However, I don't seem to be able to find out password verifification failures for our LDAP based user data. The only thing I see are loads of lines like these in the logfiles: -------CUT------- dovecot: Nov 30 09:09:51 Info: pop3-login: Disconnected: user=<ludovic>, method=PLAIN, rip=217.147.235.52, lip=81.16.98.99 dovecot: Nov 30 09:09:51 Info: pop3-login: Disconnected: user=<luna>, method=PLAIN, rip=217.147.235.52, lip=81.16.98.99 dovecot: Nov 30 09:09:51 Info: pop3-login: Disconnected: user=<luke>, method=PLAIN, rip=217.147.235.52, lip=81.16.98.99 -------CUT------- Googling the web I found that PAM based authentication obviously gives a matchable error message, but for some reasons the ldap backend does not - or does it? Any pointers highly appreciated :-) dovecot -n says this: -------CUT------- # 1.0.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf log_path: /var/log/dovecot.log protocols: imaps imap pop3 listen: 81.16.98.99 ssl_listen(default): 81.16.98.99 ssl_listen(imap): 81.16.98.99 ssl_listen(pop3): ssl_cert_file: /etc/bestsolution/ssl/mail.bestsolution.at-cert.pem ssl_key_file: /etc/bestsolution/ssl/mail.bestsolution.at-key.pem ssl_parameters_regenerate: 24 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 first_valid_uid: 9 mail_access_groups: mail mail_privileged_group: mail default_mail_env: mbox:~/mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u mail_location: mbox:~/mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u mmap_disable: yes lock_method: dotlock maildir_copy_with_hardlinks: yes 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): pop3_uidl_format(imap): pop3_uidl_format(pop3): %v.%u auth default: mechanisms: plain digest-md5 cram-md5 login passdb: driver: ldap args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf userdb: driver: ldap args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix -------CUT------- -- Udo Rader, CTO http://www.bestsolution.at

I have an unsigned SSL certificate with Dovecot and connect fine using OSX.5's Mail.app. What do you mean, "unable to connect"? Do you really mean "unable to connect", or do you mean, "an error message comes up every time they try to connect"? If its the latter complaint, please see this document: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA22383 I know it says 10.3 Mail, but the steps to follow are essentially unchanged between 10.3 and 10.5.

[Dovecot] quota warning for fs quota
by Florian Effenberger 05 Dec '08

05 Dec '08

Hello, I configured my Dovecot to use filesystem (fs) quota. It works fine, the correct free/used space and percentage is being shown to the client. However, the warning feature doesn't seem to work, no mail is being sent, although executing the script standalone works fine. Is quota warning for fs quota supported? I use Dovecot 1.0.10 (Ubuntu package). Thanks, Florian

[Dovecot] Auth_username_format question
by Romer Ventura 05 Dec '08

05 Dec '08

Hello again, I have change authentication to LDAP from Kerberos due to recent changes to my plans and I am having a little problem getting the malbox created in desired path. At the moment the home folders are being created in: /home/vmail/DOMAIN.COM/%Ln and it worked great with kerberos, but with LDAP the domain part is missing so I did the following: Auth_username_format = %Ln Then I did: # telnet localhost pop3 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. +OK Dovecot ready. user test4(a)domain.com +OK pass password +OK Logged in. But I saw in the logs the following: dovecot: auth(default): master out: USER 1 test4 uid=1001 gid=1000 home=/home/vmail//test4 The domain was missing.. So does it mean that auth_username_format dictates what dovecot will use, not only for the authentication part, but for everything else as well..? To me it seems that once the username has been formatted it forgets everything that doesn¹t constitute part of the specified format. Or am I misunderstanding the entire concept..? How cant I preserve the domain part so that the homes can be placed in the desired location: /home/vmail/%d/%u...? Thanks

[Dovecot] Dovecot Proxy with MySQL auth
by Justin Krejci 05 Dec '08

05 Dec '08

We are looking at deploying several pop/imap servers to house the mail for 15,000 or more mailbox accounts. We are contemplating on the design and are looking at using MySQL auth (we already have a MySQL environment in place for our user auth to live) and proxy_maybe so each server can proxy for all the others and we just have a network load balancer distribute the incoming connections to all of the Dovecot servers. Each server would have its own local maildir storage for the users local to that server and all of the authentication and target backend pop/imap server data would be stored in the same MySQL database. The problem we are running into is the documentation is not very clear on this type of scenario. http://wiki.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase/ExtraFields/Proxy At the bottom of this page it gives a query example of "SELECT NULL AS password, ." but that does not seem to allow for us to use the proxy_maybe if the destination server is localhost (and therefore do not proxy) it does not seem that the above query will actually send the real password for authentication. Is this a misunderstanding on our part or is the use of mysql auth + proxy_maybe not feasible? Assuming the latter we surmised using a separate instance of Dovecot on each machine to act solely as a proxy front end (use proxy instead of proxy_maybe) then on the second instance there is no proxy config and it listens on a separate TCP port like 80143 or whatever. Any input or suggestions would be appreciated. Justin Krejci

I've been running 1.2alpha3 for weeks now without issue. However, some people in my testing department object to even testing "alpha" code. Are there specific features/bugs that need resolved before alpha reaches beta? Thanks, Jonathan

[Dovecot] Dovecot authenticating to multiple kerberos realms
by Romer Ventura 04 Dec '08

04 Dec '08

Hello, I got Postfix, Dovecot 1.1.7 configure to use pam and the pam.d/dovecot file is configure to use pam_krb5 module. Everything is working with no problems, but I am finding that the user must type the domain part in uppercase in order to successfully authenticate. So I am wondering if there is any way for the user to login as user1(a)domain.com instead of user1@DOMAIN.COM...? Any ideas..? Thanks

[Dovecot] Antispam plugin + scriptsieve
by Allan Cassaro 03 Dec '08

03 Dec '08

Hi, I wrote a little python program that works with antispam plugin, to create or remove sieve rules based on "From:" of any e-mail that is moved to some folder configured in dovecot.conf. He works fine with "Felamimail" the email program of "eGroupware". After setup, is very simple: If an user move a message to "blocked" folder, is appended a rule in the script sieve of this user. If the message is deleted or moved out that folder, the rule is removed too. The setup is very simple: (after setup antispam plugin) Change this in dovecot.conf: protocol imap { mail_plugins = antispam } plugin { antispam_spam = Blocked antispam_mail_sendmail = /usr/libexec/dovecot/blockthis.py antispam_mail_sendmail_args = -u;%u antispam_mail_spam = -a antispam_mail_notspam = -d } Hooo... this script create a "include global script" statament in script sieve... If you don't want this feature, just comment this 2 lines: sievelist.append('require ["fileinto", "include"];\n') sievelist.append('include :global "global.sieve";\n') Here this is very useful! :D This script was created to suit my needs, so, have some paths in the code... It's not very "user friendly" yet... but if have intereting I will implement others features (like a config file). Download here: http://allan.cassaro.googlepages.com/blockthis.py Regards.

[Dovecot] my_vsnprintf crash on HP-UX

[Dovecot] Loginname - mapping
by Roald Amundsen 03 Dec '08

03 Dec '08

Hi! I have a server with a few thousand mailboxes (for a few hundred domains) on it. The usernames are following several naming conventions: username_domain domain_username username_domain.tld username-domain domain.username The reason for this chaos is that the accounts were set up on different mailservers, some imail, some linux, some with virtualmin and some manually and through aquisitons etc it has all ended up in one server. Now we are setting up atmail to replace imp. The loginprocess of atmail is a bit different in that you just type in your mail address and atmail tries a few combinations of loginnames to login. However, some of the combinations over atmail cant login to. Some of them works fine when using this line in dovecot.conf auth_username_translation = @_ Is there any facility to let dovecot do username mapping? If I eg have a file: usermapping that looks like this: user(a)domain1.com domain1_user user(a)domain2.com user_domain2 user(a)domain3.com domain3.user And yes, I know that the best way is to start again and use virtual domains and get all into one naming standard, but unfortunately, that is not going to happen. The other alternative is of course to hack into the source code of atmail, but I am not that confident in PHP. Any ideas? -- Regards Roald Amundsen
