[Dovecot] PAM on AIX - resolved
by Stewart Dean 17 Apr '07

17 Apr '07

I previously asked about this problem with pam on IBM's AIX Unix > I get the errmsg: > auth|security:err|error dovecot-auth PAM: load_modules: can not open > module /usr/lib/security/pam_prohibit FWIW, it turned out that the default PAM libraries are 32 bit, while I had compiled DC at 64bit. The /etc/pam.conf lines come standard like this: telnet auth required /usr/lib/security/pam_aix To get 64 bit, you can either change the line like this: dovecot auth required /usr/lib/security/64/pam_aix OR, you can let PAM figure which bit-width library to use dovecot auth required pam_aix Needless to say, it would have been better if the IBM default was the second -- ==== Stewart Dean, Unix System Admin, Henderson Computer Resources Center of Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson, New York 12504 sdean(a)bard.edu voice: 845-758-7475, fax: 845-758-7035

[Dovecot] keeping indexes in tmpfs
by Justin McAleer 17 Apr '07

17 Apr '07

While doing some testing with converting accounts while simulating incoming mail load (no other pop/imap processes going but 4 processes converting users), we found that we were maxing out the local disk in the server with the index activity. To find out that it was the index activity, I mounted a tmpfs for dovecot to keep indexes on, and the system load dropped from 70 to 3 :) Anyway, Timo and others, do you have any thoughts about keeping indexes on a tmpfs partition? I realize the obvious issues with this: running out of space, and the fact that the partition is lost on reboot. However, we plan to run a cluster of these servers anyway, where we will keep domains/accounts going to a particular server but fail over to one of the others in case of an outage. Recreating the indexes seems pretty trivial when writing to tmpfs anyway, plus we could copy the indexes to disk (restore after reboot) in the case of planned outages... unplanned outages result in another server rebuilding them all anyway. So, I'm looking for non-obvious issues we may have with this approach. I need to do more testing to see how much memory we would actually need to feasibly keep the indexes there, but otherwise is there a good reason not to do this?

If I would actually use my eyes I would see: "Another problem is that although the namespace prefix shows up as a normal looking mailbox, Dovecot doesn't allow subscribing to it because it's not a real mailbox. This will be fixed in later versions." on the wiki page. Nevermind me :) I assume this hasn't been fixed yet?

[Dovecot] Different classes of user
by John Robinson 17 Apr '07

17 Apr '07

Hello list! Only recently joined, please excuse me if this is a stupid question. I'd like to have 2 classes of user: those with shell accounts, and those without. They'll all have "real" accounts, for which the password can be checked with PAM. I've set up SSL too. What I want to arrange is for users with shell accounts not to be succeed in logging in to Dovecot without using TLS/SSL. I'll have to allow unencrypted logins (for non-shell users), but I want to reject/refuse such a login from someone with a shell account. I've already made my exim do this, with the following logic in my authenticator there: if (pam auth ok) and ((tls) or (user's shell not listed in /etc/shells)) I haven't worked out how to make Dovecot do this, yet. So far I just tried using * as the PAM service name, in the hope that not only would pop3 or imap get passed through, but pop3s and imaps might, and I had a line in my /etc/pam.d/imap and pop like this: auth required pam_succeed_if.so debug shell notin /bin/bash:/bin/sh which worked, but unfortunately also got used for imapS logins. Then I realised this was likely to be the wrong thing anyway, because it would presumably only cover IMAPS on port 993, and not IMAP+TLS on the usual port 143. So I've had a go but got it wrong. What should I do to get it right? Cheers, John.

[Dovecot] timeout error in dovecot.log
by Joe Wong 17 Apr '07

17 Apr '07

Hello, I have upgraded to Dovecot 1.0.0, I saw a lot of error in the dovecot.log file: Timeout while waiting for lock for transaction log file /fs/example.com/joewong/Maildir/dovecot.index.log where /fs is a NFS mounted directory. What can be the cause of this problem? How to prevent this from happening? Thanks! - Joe

[Dovecot] Maildir, INDEX, and folders
by Troy Engel 17 Apr '07

17 Apr '07

I'm reading the wiki et el. regarding indexes, but can't come up with a coherent answer to the setup and what will happen. I want to take the indexes and move them off of NFS (~/Maildir) and place in /var/spool/dovecot/indexes, but not have to hand create everything (user homes, mail folders) So, I create a parent folder /var/spool/dovecot/indexes that has the appropriate permissions for writing by all users/dovecot. If I then set: mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir:INDEX=/var/spool/dovecot/indexes/%1u/%u ...will the dovecot daemon(s) automagically create (A) the parent user folders (i.e. .../indexes/t/tengel/)(1), and (B) the necessary subfolders for all the child folder indexes? (i.e. .../tengel/.Lists.Dovecot/) Most of the doc info seems to revolve around moving your indexes if you use mbox, I'm a little fuzzy on what happens with Maildir when you attempt this. thanks! -te (1) in our setup, initially user's home folders are created on an admin server -> NFS that is not the mail server, so Dovecot needs to create the home & index folders on it's own at runtime. -- Troy Engel | Systems Engineer Fluid, Inc | http://www.fluid.com

[Dovecot] mail_log plugin
by Phillip T. George 16 Apr '07

16 Apr '07

Hello all, Is there any way to add additional options for the mail_log plugin? Specifically, I'm wanting to make it so IMAP copy commands will show the source filename and/or the user's IP address. Is this possible? If there are docs for this info, feel free to point me to it. -Phillip

[Dovecot] LDA problem

Hi, I am using dovecot deliver as lda for sendmail. My problem is that when a user account is over quota, deliver program sends message in the logs, but the message is not bounced back to sender informing that their is disk quota problem at the recipient side. Further message remains in the mail queue. Details are below. Plz suggest how to figure out the problems: 1. Message should be removed from queue if quota is exceeded 2. Sender should get a proper response.

[Dovecot] dovecot pam const
by Frank Cusack 15 Apr '07

15 Apr '07

In passdb-pam.c, I found some bits about const with some PAM data types. Rather than check for each vendor of PAM, better to check for actual const usage ... some vendors have changed const-ness between releases. Also, actually testing constness is great for supporting new implementations that may come out. Here is the autoconf test I use in pam_otp_auth: --8<-- # Check PAM headers for brokenness otp_CFLAGS="$CFLAGS" # save CFLAGS="$CFLAGS $EXTRA_CFLAGS -Werror" # Linux-PAM has (incorrectly) overdone const AC_MSG_CHECKING(for extra const in PAM headers) AC_TRY_COMPILE([#include <security/pam_appl.h>], [ pam_handle_t *pamh = NULL; char *item; pam_get_item(pamh, PAM_SERVICE, (void **) &item); ], [ AC_MSG_RESULT(no) DEFINES="$DEFINES -DPAM_GET_CONST=" ], [ AC_MSG_RESULT(yes) DEFINES="$DEFINES -DPAM_GET_CONST=const" ]) # Solaris PAM has (incorrectly) underdone const AC_MSG_CHECKING(for missing const in PAM headers) AC_TRY_COMPILE([#include <security/pam_appl.h>], [ struct pam_conv *conv = NULL; struct pam_message *msg; struct pam_response *resp; conv->conv(1, &msg, &resp, conv->appdata_ptr); ], [ AC_MSG_RESULT(yes) DEFINES="$DEFINES -DPAM_CONV_CONST=" ], [ AC_MSG_RESULT(no) DEFINES="$DEFINES -DPAM_CONV_CONST=const" ]) CFLAGS="$otp_CFLAGS" # restore --8<-- And then I do pam_get_item(..., (PAM_GET_CONST void **) arg); pam_get_user(..., (PAM_GET_CONST void **) arg); conv(..., (PAM_CONV_CONST struct pam_message **) arg, ...); -frank

[Dovecot] Moving Maildir files from multiple Dovecot installs
by craig carriere 15 Apr '07

15 Apr '07

I currently have Dovecot running on a SuSE SLES 10 mail server with postfix as the MTA and a number of real linux users. I have postfix delivering to Maildir records. We are going to convert to a virtual user/domain system with PostfixAdmin. I have checked out all of our settings and they appear to work well except for a problem with authenticating against mySQL using MD5-Crypt; plaintext works well however. My question is how to transfer the maildir files from the real users Maildirs to the created virtual users. When creating a mail user PostfixAdmin will create the maildir directory. Once this is created can I simply rsync the complete old directory including the dovecot files to the new mailbox? Sorry for the newbie question. Many Thanks --------------------------------- We won't tell. Get more on shows you hate to love (and love to hate): Yahoo! TV's Guilty Pleasures list.

[Dovecot] 2 mysql dbs or 2 types of encryption
by Ken Anderson 14 Apr '07

Just upgrading to 1.0.0 and I'm trying to switch from PAM (using pam-mysql) to a direct mysql query from dovecot, and I've got both md5crypt and crypt passwords in a password db. http://wiki.dovecot.org/Authentication/PasswordSchemes seems to indicate that I have to pick 1, but that is per auth-worker, right? So, I created 2 auth workers using 2 dovecot-sql config files specifying different default encryption schemes and it seems to work. Is there any problem with this, other than a small bit of overhead for 2 queries if the first doesn't hit? Thanks, Ken Anderson Pacific.Net

[Dovecot] minor public folder problem still in v1.0.0
by Mark Nienberg 14 Apr '07

14 Apr '07

This minor problem still exists in the current version. http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2006-December/018251.html It's my own fault, I kept meaning to test one of the latest versions before the 1.0 release and never got around to it. Oh well, just mentioning it so it stays on the list of things to do. 1.0.0 update from RC15 went smoothly here. Thanks, Mark Nienberg

[Dovecot] Convert mbox to maildir
by Héctor S. Mendoza O 14 Apr '07

14 Apr '07

Hello all Ive installed a new Server with dovecot, started using it and had no problems until I noticed that I couldnt create sub-sub-folders on my imap account, Ive read for the past two days info on how to convert and I know now that instead of using mbox I need to user maildir, the issue is now to convert mbox to maildir, on the various searches I did, I found the convert wiki page (http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Convert) followed the instructions there and no luck, I always end up with an error: Eopen(/.temp.chihuahua.intranet.acorporativa.com.mx.21409.1089e702ee50f317) failed: Permission denied Error: imap dump-capability process returned 89 If I remove the line convert_mail = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u it starts correctly but I see no e-mails and no conversion takes place, since its a production server Ive reverted all changes and had to add a line (mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u) to be able to see my e-mails again. Ive tried stopping dovecot, making the changes and trying dovecot n to see the configuration, but with the same results. Any ideas on what Ive been doing wrong?

[Dovecot] Wiki language issues
by James Turnbull 14 Apr '07

14 Apr '07

Hi all It's morning and I haven't had coffee but has anyone else noticed that the Wiki seems to have changed languages from English to Russian in sections? http://wiki.dovecot.org/FrontPage It appears a user has made some edits to a couple of the pages and 'translated' them.

[Dovecot] 1.0.rc32 released
by Timo Sirainen 13 Apr '07

13 Apr '07

http://dovecot.org/releases/dovecot-1.0.rc32.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/dovecot-1.0.rc32.tar.gz.sig Pretty late for changes if v1.0 is supposed to come out tomorrow, but I can't really leave these LDAP bugs unfixed. They shouldn't anyway break anything, so here's one more day for you people to find out about any bugs. One thing that I'm a bit concerned about is the addition of #define LDAP_DEPRECATED. I know it fixes crashes with OpenLDAP 2.3 + 64bit systems, but I hope it doesn't break compiling with some old versions or non-OpenLDAP libraries.. - LDAP, auth_bind=no: Don't crash if doing non-plaintext ldap passdb lookup for unknown user. This also broke deliver when userdb static was used. - LDAP, auth_bind=yes and userdb ldap: We didn't wait until bind was finished before sending the userdb request, which could have caused problems. - LDAP: Don't break when compiling with OpenLDAP v2.3 library - Convert plugin: Don't create "maildirfolder" file to Maildir root.

[Dovecot] upgrading from 1.0 to 1.1
by Daniel 13 Apr '07

13 Apr '07

Hi! I've been using 1.0 cvs always. Now that 1.0 is final, I would like to continue testing the future dovecot, and thought I'd ask if there is anything I must be aware of, if I'm trying to upgrade to 1.1 cvs. Thanks! Daniel

[Dovecot] dovecot forward multipart problem
by Samuel HAMEAU 13 Apr '07

13 Apr '07

Hi, I experience problems everytime i forward a mail (basically, when forwarding an email containing an attachement). I'm using thunderbird (it does the same with outlook clients) with the forward parameter "as attachement" instead of "inline". (Using the inline parameters works fine). When i forward a mail with attachements (eg a jpeg file), the attachements file is displayed in base64 instead, and is impossible to detach/save. I'm using dovecot 1.0.rc22-1 (debian package) on debian etch, x86 SMP box with maildir format on a ext3 partition. I'm using postfix currently 2.3.4-3, i have tried different version of dovecot (from rc16 i think) and postfix (from 2.2.?) and i suspect the deliver to be the origin of the problem. I think it is the same problem than here http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2006-July/014786.html , my "From" headers are badly duplicated. Could this be fixed before the dovecot 1.0 release ? Regards, Samuel HAMEAU

[Dovecot] LDA sieve plugin [patch]
by Uldis Pakuls 13 Apr '07

13 Apr '07

Hi all. I spent some time testing Dovecot's LDA sieve plugin and found problem with "notify" method. In fact it always returns "generic sieve error"... and thus produces bounce messages like this: ----- Your message was automatically rejected by Dovecot Mail Delivery Agent. The following reason was given: Unknown error ---- Deliver logs error: "generic sieve error", but otherwise server reports "notify" method as supported. The problem is: original code was taken from curys sieve and requires "notifyd", as sieve runs 'chrooted' and can't access external binaries like "sendmail". communications with notifyd is done via socket. Thus I wrote pacth, which ads "notify" functionality to dovecot's sieve plugin, at less "notify:mailto" method. cyrus originally contains null, log and zephyr methods. null and log is useless with dovecot, zephur is cyrus specific... RFC docs says there is 3 available methods SMS, XMPP and MAILTO: ------ method can be an SMS URI [SMS-URI <http://ietfreport.isoc.org/idref/draft-ietf-sieve-notify/#ref-SMS-URI>] containing a phone number, or an XMPP [XMPP <http://ietfreport.isoc.org/idref/draft-ietf-sieve-notify/#ref-XMPP>] URI containing an XMPP identifier [XMPP-URI <http://ietfreport.isoc.org/idref/draft-ietf-sieve-notify/#ref-XMPP-URI>] The supported URI values will be site-specific, but support for the [MailTo <http://ietfreport.isoc.org/idref/draft-ietf-sieve-notify/#ref-MailTo>] method is REQUIRED in order to insure interoperability. If a URI schema is specified that the implementation does not support, the notification MUST cause an error condition. Sieve scripts can check the supported methods using the "valid_notify_method" test to be sure that they only use supported ones, to avoid such error conditions. ------ as SMS-URI and XMPP methods are not included in cyrus sieve version, they are not available in dovecots plugin too. [any ideas, sample code how to implement them?] BUT... WARNING All this will not work if you have "mail_chroot" setting enabled in dovecot.conf; chrooted process can't access required external binaries. DOT USE THIS PLUGIN WITH "mail_chroot" SENTIG ENABLED! Actualy it is not sieve plugin problem only - its LDA problem... it can't send bonce messages, do forwards etc. Question to Timo: Do You have ideas how to fix it? My be disable chroting for LDA at all? or do it "cyrus way" - move all calls to external binaries to sepreate, non chrooted process? For delivery agent it is requred to be able send bounces and notifications... do forwards. Uldis

[Dovecot] convert plugin created maildirfolder file in root maildir directory
by Justin McAleer 12 Apr '07

12 Apr '07

I've noticed that if a user's maildir gets created by deliver or pop/imap without the convert plugin running, the maildir structure is fine (no maildirfolder file). But, if a user gets converted, there is a maildirfolder file in the user's base maildir directory. As far as I can tell, that doesn't cause any problems, but I just wanted to mention it. I've looked at the code for a while but didn't find why it behaves differently.
