[Dovecot] Single quote email addresses
by Guy 18 Apr '08

18 Apr '08

Hi, I've just been told that I need to make our mail server cater to accounts with single quotes. Has anyone set dovecot up to do this or know of any documentation/howto on it, assuming it's possible at all. I'm running dovecot 1.0.5 on Ubuntu 7.10 if that makes much of a difference. Thanks for any help anyone can give. Guy -- Don't just do something...sit there!

[Dovecot] dovecot and postfix virtual mailbox domains, system users
by Dave 18 Apr '08

18 Apr '08

Hello, I'm trying to get dovecot and postfix virtual domains working on an fc6 system. My software versions are postfix 2.4.5 installed from rpm and dovecot 1.0.3 also installed from rpm. I'm only running secure protocols, pop3s at the moment, imaps later on. I've set up postfix for virtual mailbox domains as per it's howto on the subject and confirmed that email sent gets delivered to the virtual area, which in this case is /home/vmail/domain.com/username/, there's a maildir under that area and incoming mail gets delivered by postfix to that area. In the first case the user is a shell user who has a login, in all other cases the users will be completely virtual, having no login account at all. When i atempt to get mail from the server using this user, the one with the login, i am getting a can not map username coming from dovecot. Here's my config: # 1.0.3: /etc/dovecot.conf base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/ log_path: /var/log/dovecot info_log_path: /var/log/dovecot.info protocols: pop3s ssl_ca_file: /etc/dovecot/ca-cert.pem ssl_cert_file: /etc/dovecot/pop.cert ssl_key_file: /etc/dovecot/pop.key ssl_cipher_list: ALL:!LOW disable_plaintext_auth: yes login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login valid_chroot_dirs: /var/spool/vmail mail_extra_groups: mail mail_location: maildir:/home/vmail/%d/%u maildir_copy_with_hardlinks: yes mail_executable: /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir: /usr/lib64/dovecot/pop3 auth default: mechanisms: plain login verbose: yes passdb: driver: passwd userdb: driver: passwd and the specific maillog error is this: Apr 11 23:48:17 s15298471 dovecot: pop3-login: Login: user=<user>, method=PLAIN, rip=66.139.186.37, lip=74.208.64.129, TLS Apr 11 23:48:17 s15298471 dovecot: POP3(user): stat(/home/vmail//user/cur) failed: Permission denied Apr 11 23:48:17 s15298471 dovecot: POP3(user): stat(/home/vmail//user/cur) failed: Permission denied Apr 11 23:48:17 s15298471 dovecot: POP3(user): Couldn't open INBOX: Internal error occurred.

[Dovecot] remove mails from shared folders
by Patrick Fischer 18 Apr '08

18 Apr '08

Hallo dovecot This is my first post on this list. I'm new to IMAP servers and i read lots of howtos. If I use the wrong term for some features please tell me the right term. I have installed dovecot under ubuntu 7.10 and it works fine. dovecot + fetchmail + postfix I would like to use shared folders the way that we have an email pool for info(a)mydomain.com user1(a)mydomain.com -> User1 user2(a)mydomain.com -> User2 user3(a)mydomain.com -> User3 info(a)mydomain.com -> Pool (look at this http://decembersoul.dyndns.org/wiki/images/c/c6/IMAP1.jpeg ) The users can see and process emails from the email pool. To process an email the user move the email from the email pool to his own inbox. This should make sure that only one user process a email. Shared folders are created by symlink. The problem is that, if a user move an email out of the email pool, the other users still can see the mail in the pool. It takes a long time to remove the mail from the pool for every user. Move TO the pool works immediatley. The user can make a "compress folder" to remove the emails but this can't be the soulution. Maybe this is a client failed (tested only with thunderbird) Best regards Patrick Fischer

[Dovecot] Minor namespace issue - inconsistent default value
by Joel Johnson 18 Apr '08

18 Apr '08

I burned some time yesterday over a documentation inconsistency. The dovecot-example.conf file shipped with dovecot (checked with 1.1rc4 and the April 3 nightly), includes an indication at the top that the commented values listed are the defaults for the settings. Line 248 of this file has the inbox setting for a private namespace which indicates that the default value for this setting is true. However, line 358 of ./srv/master/master-settings.c sets the default value of the namespace inbox variable to false. With a single private namespace (what I was setting up), one wants this value to be true, however when using multiple namespaces the default should likely remain false. I propose keeping the coded default and changing the line in the example configuration file to indicate false. Before I determined that this was the issue, I had a single namespace defined (but not as INBOX), and dovecot (both deliver and imap) created and read from a .INBOX directory under the Maildir. Thanks, Joel

[Dovecot] Bah! Outlook
by Jason Wohlford 18 Apr '08

18 Apr '08

Hi All, I run a little hosting company. I use Dovecot 1.0.10* with IMAP exclusively. Lots of my customers use Outlook or Outlook Express. This poses a problem. These programs don't and have absolutely no workarounds to move messages to a trash folder when deleted. They only mark the message for deletion. Then, users have to purge the message to actually delete it. Outlook has a way to hide deleted messages and also auto-purge them when moving to a different folder. That just doesn't cut it. (Thanks Microsoft! :-p ) So, I'm thinking Dovecot could pick up where Microsoft left off. It seems to me there needs to be two things done. First, a system that automatically copy a message marked for deletion from one folder (e.g. INBOX) to a trash folder (e.g. Trash, Deleted Messages, etc.) Dovecot's lazy_expunge might already do this, but I couldn't quite discern it from the wiki docs. Second, a way to only do this when Outlook or Outlook Express is the one who is deleting a message. Possibility? Comments? Cheers, Jason P.S. Thanks for the great software! *Yes, I know. I need to upgrade to Dovecot 1.0.13. -- Jason Wohlford <jason(a)wohlford.org> <http://wohlford.org>

[Dovecot] keep users from deleting email
by Adam Williams 17 Apr '08

17 Apr '08

I looked on the dovecot website, but didn't find an answer. With dovecot 1.0, is there a way to keep users from deleting their email? So that when they click the delete button on their email client, nothing happens/dovecot refuses to delete email, etc?

[Dovecot] CRAM-MD5 Password Generation Algorithm
by Douglas Willcocks 17 Apr '08

17 Apr '08

Hi, I'm just in the middle of setting up dovecot to serve IMAPS -- Actually I've finished apart from one thing: CRAM-MD5 passwords. I'm using SQL as a backend for the password storage, and I don't want to store the passwords in plaintext. I've also configured dovecot to be rather restrictive when it comes to authentication methods (only CRAM-MD5 is allowed). To generate the passwords to go into the database I can use the dovecotpw utility, but I'm wanting to stick some sort of minimal admin interface on the server to be able to manage the users etc without having to use the CLI. I've looked at the theoretical explanation of the hashing algorithm, and I've read through the source code that dovecotpw uses to generate the passwords with the intent of creating a higher level language library (Perl, Ruby, PHP ... whatever)) to generate passwords, but I don't seem to be able to replicate the functionality, and there don't seem to be any existing libraries that generate consistent results (that I've found). I don't have that much experience with C, and so I'm sure that I must have misunderstood how dovecotpw does its stuff. Perhaps someone could explain how the algorithm works? Or point me in the right direction? Thanks, Douglas Willcocks

[Dovecot] Dovecot-deliver lookup fails
by Wouter Amsterdam 17 Apr '08

17 Apr '08

Hi all, I'm still trying to get Dovecot-deliver to work in my config. I have found the problem to be in the maildir lookup for Dovecot-deliver as logged in /var/log/maillog: "Apr 15 16:30:34 termserv dovecot: auth(default): static(user(a)zesgoes.nl): passdb doesn't support lookups, can't verify user's existence" The thing I don't get, is that if I remove the virtual_transport modifications in /etc/postfix/master.cf and /etc/postfix/main.cf and the socket listen in /etc/dovecot.conf, all works well. So dovecot has no problems looking up my users on a LDAP server as a passdb backend, but failes when using the same passdb for dovecot-deliver. How come? TIA, Wouter

[Dovecot] Multiple ssl certificates
by Wojciech Matys 17 Apr '08

17 Apr '08

Hello, I wonder if there is some possibility to force dovecot to use more than one ssl certificate. I would like to use a few certficates: one per IP We are hosting many different domains and I had to use stunnel to ensure encrypted connection for our clients using different certificates. But stunnel isn't a good solution and sometimes I need to restart stunnels because of some of it's processes hangs - after some improvements like setting ulimit it is better now but still it is not a permanent soulution. I would like to use is: 1.1.1.1 - certificate nr1 2.2.2.2 - certificate nr2 ..... Any suggestion?

Thank you for the reference to the specification. Apart from the wrong name, I was using PUTSCRIPT instead of GETSCRIPT. Now, where do I have to put the scripts to GET them? My home directory does not work, nor do the /var/mail/user/ and /var/mail/user/Maildir directories. I get a "Script does not exist" response, though the script is in all three locations.

[Dovecot] dovecot-deliver auth-master error

Hi all, I'm trying to get the sieve plugin to work, but with little result. I'm following http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA, http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Postfix and http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve but it won't work. As I have virtual users from several virtual domains, I added the "virtual users - with lookup" section from http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA, but now dovecot fails to start.

[Dovecot] generating passdb files
by Dave 15 Apr '08

15 Apr '08

Hello, I'm running dovecot 1.0.3 on an fc6 box. I've got postfix and dovecot set up for virtual domains, all look good. The issue is finding the password file generator. I googled and think i'm looking for mkpasswd but searching the system i'm not seeing this. Has the name of this prog changed? Thanks. Dave.
