[Dovecot] Strange Error
by Davi Bariani Boin 19 Feb '08

Hello Everybody, I´m trying to make a work with procmail and deliver on Fedora 7. Part of flow are the following: - procmail get the mail from Sendmail - procmail ask to deliver/dovecot if have any retriction (sizer mailbox, etc) - procmail put the mail on inbox user. I had include the following line in the promail config: | "/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -m $DEFAULT" and the procmail log shows me the following : procmail: Assigning "MAILDIR=/home/admin/mail" procmail: Assigning "INCLUDERC=/home/admin/Procmail/rc.spam-mail" procmail: Couldn't determine implicit lockfile from "/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver" procmail: Locking ".lock" procmail: Executing "/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver,-m,/var/spool/mail/admin" procmail: Non-zero exitcode (75) from "/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver" procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -m /var/spool/mail/admin" procmail: Unlocking ".lock" procmail: Skipped "* ^X-Spam-Status:.*Yes" procmail: Skipped "spam" procmail: Skipped "-mail" procmail: Locking "/var/spool/mail/admin.lock" procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=/var/spool/mail/admin" procmail: Opening "/var/spool/mail/admin" procmail: Acquiring kernel-lock procmail: Unlocking "/var/spool/mail/admin.lock" procmail: Notified comsat: "admin@556:/var/spool/mail/admin" From admin(a)itcon.com.br Mon Feb 18 17:52:38 2008 Subject: Fw: tessss22 Folder: /var/spool/mail/admin 3425 What happen afertall?

[Dovecot] warning: connect to transport dovecot: No such file or directory
by David Koski 19 Feb '08

19 Feb '08

I have installed postfix, dovecot, mysql as per: http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/DovecotLDAPostfixAdminMySQL ..on Debian Etch. I thought mailboxes were created by postfixadmin or postfix but I only get an error: warning: connect to transport dovecot: No such file or directory ..in the postfix log. No /var/vmail/example.com is created. After creating the domain directory and user directory, applying correct ownership, still it made no difference. I checked my main.cf: virtual_mailbox_base = /var/vmail Any clues? Thanks! David Koski david(a)kosmosisland.com

[Dovecot] 1.0.10 / Quota postlogin / Deliver - Not working according to the wiki?
by Tobias Balle-Petersen 19 Feb '08

19 Feb '08

Hello.... I load quotas from users homefolders using postlogin like this: ------------------------- #!/bin/sh # Read users quota if [ -f ~/quota ]; then export QUOTA=`cat ~/quota` fi # Start IMAP session exec /usr/lib/dovecot/imap ------------------------- User without a quota-file in their homedirs get a quota set in dovecot.conf. Im using LDA. According to the wiki this should not work: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Quota?highlight=quota : This post-login trick unfortunately doesn't work with deliver <http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA>. If you need it, you're pretty much out of luck for now. v1.1 *quota* <http://wiki.dovecot.org/Quota/New> makes this possible. According to my tests it does indeed work. What is not supposed to work?

[Dovecot] Duplicate Messages, Different X-UIDs?
by Joe Allesi -X (joallesi - Coyote Creek Consulting at Cisco) 19 Feb '08

19 Feb '08

We're running into an issue where sendmail is only receiving one e-mail, but after a client accesses the message via IMAP and moves it to another IMAP folder, the message duplicates but each message has different X-UID headers. Has anyone ever seen this type of anomaly before? Is it a bad IMAP client, or a known bug? Running 1.0.7 Thanks!

[Dovecot] Set up shared mailboxes for secretary-boss-relationship
by Steffen Kaiser 19 Feb '08

19 Feb '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, some users are to read other users mailboxes (secretary-boss relationship), in order to filter out minor issues, SPAM, appointment requests etc. pp. The "boss" wants to see/access his/her mailbox the usual way, no fancy stuff. Furthermore, this is a N:N relationship, meaning one user needs to read one set of user's mailboxes, another user needs to read another set of mailboxes; both may or may not overlap. My idle solution would be to create some name space or a special "shared" directory in the secretary's Maildir/home dir and symlink the Maildir of all the "boss"'s Maildir roots. Because only the "secretary" shall use/see the definition, I'm not to make one namespace per relationship, but predefine one namespace and issue the path via userdb, right? Does somebody has some setup of this sort running? Are there some differences in v1.1 in this aspect? Currently I've setup that the secretaries connect with the real account of the boss(es), what is not good in my eyes, the secretaries should use their own accounts accessing the mails.

[Dovecot] quota doesn't work?

19 Feb '08

I'm using dovecot 1.0.rc15 with debian etch. In dovecot.conf I have set mail_plugins = quota imap_quota for imap mail_plugins = quota for pop3 and quota = maildir:storage=10240. I seems that it doesn't work 'cause I send messages over 10M and it doesn't block my maildir box. I have to do something more?

[Dovecot] Passwordless Login Auth
by JL 19 Feb '08

19 Feb '08

I have Dovecot 1.0.5 running imaps successfully with Postfix on Ubuntu. Authorization is by SASL. Currently, my mail client (mutt) requests a password to access my folders. I would like to configure Dovecot so that a user logged into the localhost (i.e., already authenticated) does not receive the password prompt. Remote logins should of course demand the authentication, but if I'm logged into the server via SSH, for example, I'd like to be able to run mutt without the password prompt. Is this a viable proposition? Here is a relevant snippet from dovecot.conf: auth default { mechanisms = plain login passdb pam { } userdb passwd { } socket listen { client { path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode = 0660 user = postfix group = postfix } } } TIA -- JL <lists(a)jorge.cc>

[Dovecot] dovecot 1.0.10
by Tim Judd 18 Feb '08

18 Feb '08

Hi everyone, I'm trying to get dovecot to authenticate against LDAP. And it's a first time to run both dovecot (at all) and OpenLDAP (at all). Versions are below. Dovecot: 1.0.10 OpenLDAP 2.3.40 Dovecot cannot bind to the dn. This may be due to the fact that all google-able documentation doesn't give good examples or anyhting to hint. I'd prefer to use the rootdn by slapd.conf, but if I have to use a entry in the LDAP database, I will do that. I've tried the rootdn, password, overriding password with the same hash as in the slapd.conf via {SSHA} and nothing works. I then tried to create a uid (and dn) within the LDAP database, and it can't bind to that either. Long story short, I would very much appreciate a working example with OpenLDAP v2.3x and Dovecot 1.0x, on a FreeBSD 6.x host. If it makes any difference (I don't think it does), the mailserver is going to be located within a jail, which has given some problems to some software that are looking for a specific /dev entry or being able to customize that entry (permissions, links, etc). Thank you all for excellent software, and I really hope I can get this working. I'd like to point the finger at dovecot not being able to read userPassword but since no debugging information can be extracted, I have to assume. A working example as I have asked for above would probably help me alot. thanks! --Tim If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door. "I can" is a way of life. More and Bigger is not always Better.

[Dovecot] ldaps support in dovecot-ldap.conf?
by Tim Tyler 18 Feb '08

18 Feb '08

Dovecot experts, Does Dovecot support ldaps:\\ connections in dovecot-ldap.conf for ldap connections? I can get regular ldap:\\connections to work, but not ldaps:\\ connections. I have even downloaded the latest beta version of dovecot and it still doesn't work. If its not supported, will it be in the near future? Note: We are using Centos 5 and Redhat 5 systems.

[Dovecot] PAM libraries not found
by Jan van den Berg 18 Feb '08

18 Feb '08

When I add the --with-pam option in my configure command I get the following error: checking for pam_start in -lpam... no configure: error: Can't build with PAM support: libpam not found PAM is most certainly installed on the machine: ii libpam-modules 0.79-5 Pluggable Authentication Modules for PAM ii libpam-runtime 0.79-5 Runtime support for the PAM library ii libpam0g 0.79-5 Pluggable Authentication Modules library Dovecot from package worked just fine with PAM. Also this file already exists: cat /etc/pam.d/dovecot #%PAM-1.0 @include common-auth @include common-account @include common-session I have run ldconfig etc. And I have the following files (all in /lib): /lib/libpamc.so.0 /lib/libpamc.so.0.79 /lib/libpam_misc.so.0 /lib/libpam_misc.so.0.79 /lib/libpam.so.0 /lib/libpam.so.0.79 So it seems that configure is not checking the right places for the libpam library? How can I tell it to look in /lib? Also what does (auto) mean (--with-pam (auto)): it's confusing. It gives the impression that, like (default), this option is added 'automatically'. Cheers, Jan

[Dovecot] stat failed: Not a directory
by Andrea 17 Feb '08

17 Feb '08

I have recently installed dovecot on a FreeBSD mailserver running postfix. But when I try to login with imap/pop3, I always get an error "stat failed: Not a directory". I guess it is something wrong with the mail format postfix uses to store the message, but I don't seem to find the correct solution. Here's the postfix log with the successful delivery: Feb 17 08:58:24 mailsrv2 postfix/smtpd[75706]: connect from pc17r2.domain.com[10.0.1.17] Feb 17 08:59:07 mailsrv2 postfix/smtpd[75706]: 290F1B81D: client= pc17r2.domain.com[10.0.1.17] Feb 17 08:59:20 mailsrv2 postfix/cleanup[75710]: 290F1B81D: message-id=<20080217075907.290F1B81D(a)mailsrv2.domain.com> Feb 17 08:59:20 mailsrv2 postfix/qmgr[75703]: 290F1B81D: from=<andrea(a)vp44.net>, size=384, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Feb 17 08:59:21 mailsrv2 postfix/virtual[75711]: 290F1B81D: to=<andrea(a)internal.domain.com>, relay=virtual, delay=39, delays=39/0.26/0/0.24, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered to mailbox) Feb 17 08:59:21 mailsrv2 postfix/qmgr[75703]: 290F1B81D: removed And here dovecot: Feb 17 09:00:24 mailsrv2 dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<andrea(a)internal.domain.com>, method=PLAIN, rip=10.0.1.2, lip=10.0.1.17 Feb 17 09:00:24 mailsrv2 dovecot: IMAP(andrea(a)internal.domain.com): stat(/usr/local/virtual/internal.domain.com/andrea/cur) failed: Not a directory Feb 17 09:00:24 mailsrv2 dovecot: IMAP(andrea(a)internal.domain.com): stat(/usr/local/virtual/internal.domain.com/andrea/cur) failed: Not a directory Feb 17 09:00:24 mailsrv2 dovecot: IMAP(andrea(a)internal.domain.com): Connection closed Dovecot -n: #

[Dovecot] --without-linux-quota
by Heiko Schlichting 17 Feb '08

17 Feb '08

Hi, compiling dovecot 1.1.beta16 with configure option "--without-linux-quota" failed in line 444 of quota-fs.c as _LINUX_QUOTA_VERSION is an unquoted "no". Additionally using "--without-linux-quota" does not remove the quota code from dovecot as I expected. This is not a problem to me but it would be more clear if configure failed if "--without-linux-quota" is used and it is not possible to strip the quota code from dovecot. I know that I can use "--with-linux-quota=..." to specify a quota version but for me this option implied that it is possible to remove the filesystem quota code entirely if it is not needed.

[Dovecot] Dovecot pgsqlauthentication database reconnection/failover problem
by Frank Wang 17 Feb '08

17 Feb '08

Hi, Our mail system uses dovecot-1.0-1.2.rc15.el5 in Centos-5.1 as our imap server. It connects to a pgsql database in another server as authentication backend. It works fine except occasionally fails to reconnect to the database after temporary network block, and dovecot has to be restarted to work again in such case. Since I can't find any specific setting in dovecot.conf to handle this reconnection problem, I opt to build a failover pgsql backend. Google led me to http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2008-January/027899.html. I followed the thread to modify my dovecot-sql.conf containing "connect = host=pgsql1 host=pgsql2 dbname=xxxx user=xxxx" If both databases are available, dovecot will choose pgsql2 as the default one, and user login works flawlessly. But when I block all traffic to host pgsql2, dovecot will repeatedly try pgsql2 and neglect available host pgsql1. I don't find relevent information in the dovecot wiki either. Can anyone here shed a light on me? Thanks in advance! Regards, Frank Wang

[Dovecot] v1.1.beta16 released
by Timo Sirainen 16 Feb '08

16 Feb '08

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/beta/dovecot-1.1.beta16.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/beta/dovecot-1.1.beta16.tar.gz.sig If all goes well, I'll release v1.1.rc1 in a couple of days. Now's a good time to start testing v1.1 :) Changes since beta15: - Squat is finally working and supports expunging messages from it. I've been stress testing it and can't find any problems anymore. - Some index/cache crashfixes TODO for v1.1.0: - mbox: We write From_-lines to message bodies unescaped and assume Content-Length: header allows us to skip over them. This probably worked in v0.99, but got broken when mbox code was rewritten for v1.0. This should be fixed somehow. - dbox: fsync()ing isn't done for saved messages. - maildir: after rename()ing files from tmp/ to new/ we should probably fsync() the new/ directory. - Squat: NFS support. Check/fix a potential locking problem. - Lucene: It gives all kinds of locking errors which cause other problems. Maybe Dovecot should do the locking itself so Lucene never needs to wait for locks? Has anyone here used Lucene before and knows about these issues?

[Dovecot] [patch] make <chroot>/./<home> a config option.
by Diego Liziero 16 Feb '08

16 Feb '08

Hi, I think that the wu-ftp style chroot /./ should be a configurable option. In our servers we have some home directories in /chroot-web/./username (where web users can upload their web sites in a chrooted environment) and all imap mail in /mail-disk/username. We are planning a dovecot migration from our modified version of uw-imap and we noticed that the chroot in /chroot-web/ can't be disabled. This patch adds the bool option home_slash_dot_slash_chroot (feel free to change this name to something easier to understand). Setting this to "no" disables the wu-ftp style /./ chroot. I hope this feature can be considered useful and soon included in dovecot. Regards, Diego Liziero.
