[Dovecot] plain auth problem with beta4
by Mark Davies 08 Apr '06

08 Apr '06

Using kmail with PLAIN authentication worked fine with beta3 but trying it with beta4 authentication fails. This is because kmail sends "username \0 username \0 password" in the authorization token and the new code to call auth_request_set_login_username() when supplied an authid must be returning failure (certainly commenting this code out returns to the beta3 behaviour of successfully authenticating). I had a quick look at the routine to see why it might be failing but didn't really work out what its supposed to do. cheers mark

[Dovecot] [Fwd: Imap Timeouts]
by Neilw 07 Apr '06

07 Apr '06

Hi guys, So is there resolution to my query below? Is this a bug in beta3? Thanks. Neil -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Imap Timeouts Date: Wed, 22 Mar 2006 16:56:21 +0200 From: Neil Wilson <neilw(a)dcdata.co.za> To: dovecot(a)dovecot.org Hi guys, I've got a client running 1.0.beta3 on SuSe 9.3 Everything has been running perfectly since it was installed about 6 months ago, but lately they've had issues with email clients not being able to connect to the IMAP server, until they close their clients(Thunderbird & Outlook) and then re-open them. They have roughly 70 users on their network, so it sounds like it could be too many active sessions at once, but I've tried changing a few things in the config, and so far nothing has resolved this. Any help would be appreciated. Regards.

[Dovecot] GSSAPI and virtual Users?
by S. Thias 06 Apr '06

06 Apr '06

Hi, is there a possibility to map login-names to allowed Kerberos-Principals? At the moment GSSAPI-authentication seems to work only if loginname and kerberos-principal are the same, or am I missing something? It would be really great to use GSSAPI-auth with virtual users. Thanks a lot! S. Thias

Re: [Dovecot] batch convert mbox to maildir

I did not use the the libc-client Perl bindings...sorry. I used a modified version of mb2md-3.20. It was pretty simple really. If you'd like to look at/dowload the source please visit: http://svn.dcs.it.mtu.edu/email.mtu.edu/convert_tools/tags/mb2md-release-4.… (I have my own release numbers for the whole system I wrapped around mb2md). Not a lot of documentation and there is a lot that is specific to my site, but it shouldn't be too hard to decipher and you can always ask me questions, though I'm going to take a well earned next 2 days off. If anyone is interested, the conversion we just performed has been in place for ~5 days now. Only a handful of the ~30,000 users we converted noticed we even did anything (except performance) is better (this was in large part due to the UIDL code I added to mb2md).

[Dovecot] Overriding inbox location in passwd-like file
by Václav Haisman 05 Apr '06

05 Apr '06

Hi, I have some real users and some virtual users. The real users use mbox file as their inbox. But I'd like to use Maildir as inbox for the virtual users. (The reason is that I am actually moving some accounts from another server that already uses Maildir.) I'd like Dovecot to find Maildir in $HOME of my virtual users as their inbox. So I tried to use the following in my users.passwd file: test:{PLAIN}some_password:30003:30003::/home/vmail/domain/test:/bin/false::maildir:%h/Maildir/:INBOX=maildir:%h/Maildir/ Unfortunatelly this doesn't work and dies with this message: Mar 8 16:44:25 logout dovecot: imap(test): Ambiguous mail location setting, don't know what to do with it: /home/vmail/isc.cvut.cz/test/mbox (try prefixing it with mbox: or maildir:) Mar 8 16:44:25 logout dovecot: imap(test): Failed to create storage for '' with data: /home/vmail/isc.cvut.cz/test/mbox Mar 8 16:44:25 logout dovecot: child 41976 (imap) returned error 89 Is it even possible to override the setting from dovecot.conf like this?

[Dovecot] C programmers, please help. need dovecot patch
by Adam M. Dunn 05 Apr '06

05 Apr '06

Hi all. Can any C programmers out there tell me how to fix Dovecot to default to Maildir format when autodecting can't find anything? I don't know C, but it seems like it would be a simple thing. Right now, I use the autodetect mailbox feature because we want users to choose to optionally be able to use Mbox format (we have some diehard unix users with non-maildir clients). I have Maildrop setup to check for the existance of a ~/Maildir folder in the user's home, and if it exists, it delivers there. Otherwise it falls back to ~/Mail where mbox style files go. The problem with Dovecot is there is no way to tell the autodetect feature what to default to, and if it can't find anything, it automatically creates a folder called ~/mail under the user's home and primes it with an Mbox file, but I'd rather it create a ~/Maildir instead. So if we have for example, a new user with no mail yet, and they log in via IMAP before getting any mail from maildrop, Dovecot will create a them a ~/mail folder. So when they DO get mail, our maildrop filters will think they are an Mbox user. I could do some fancy Maildrop filters to fix that when they get their first mail, but in the meantime the unknowing user could try creating things via IMAP that gets overwritten. Anyway, it would be much cleaner if Dovecot just did what I wanted. If anyone could point me to the place to patch my copy of Dovecot, I would GREATLY apprecieate it. I don't know C, but I know many other languages. I would also like to see this be added via the config file in future releases. So consider this a feature request. Not only that, but more control over the autodetection process in general would be REALLY nice. Thanks. Adam

[Dovecot] Setting a Default Domain
by Richard Laager 05 Apr '06

05 Apr '06

I'm working on migrating to Dovecot. At the moment, I have a mail path that includes the domain, so I'm using %d to get that. However, if users authenticate without specifying a domain (i.e. using "bob" instead of "bob(a)wiktel.com"), then %d expands to nothing. I'd like to have that expand to a default domain (wiktel.com) instead. Is that possible? Thanks, Richard

[Dovecot] SSL failures on 1.0B3

I have setup Dovecot 1.0B3, and IMAP works fine, but I cannot get IMAPS to work.

[Dovecot] 1.0.beta4 released
by Timo Sirainen 04 Apr '06

04 Apr '06

I haven't had yet time to read all the mails in this list which I skipped in the last few of weeks. I'll try to get to them eventually. This release contains several new features which haven't been fully tested yet, such as ACLs, master users and Maildir++ quota. If you intend to use them, test them properly first. This is the first Dovecot release where it's supposed to work well with NFS. Even with indexes being stored in NFS. I was able to test it only with Linux 2.4 kernels as clients though, and it didn't work well in a stress test. It looked like the problem was caused by the kernel caching the data a bit too much. Hopefully I can test soon with 2.6 kernels. Also note the other changes which might affect you. Especially if you're using Dovecot-LDA remember to upgrade it as well to make sure the default lock_method gets updated in it also. As for the future, it looks like I'm getting soon paid to develop several features to improve Dovecot's performance (by the company which already paid for ACLs, NFS fixes and many other changes in this release, thanks!). * Changed the default lock_method back to fcntl. Apparently flock gives problems with some systems. * mbox: mailboxes beginning with '.' are now also listed * Replaced mail_use_modules and mail_modules settings with mail_plugins and mail_plugin_dir. Now instead of loading all plugins from the directory, you'll have to give a list of plugins to load. If the plugin couldn't be loaded, the process exits instead of just ignoring the problem (this is important with ACL plugin). + Added support for "master users" who can log in as other people. The master username can be given either in authorization ID string with SASL PLAIN mechanism or by setting auth_master_user_separator and giving it within the normal username string. + Added ACL plugin with ACL file backend. This however doesn't mean that there yet exists a proper shared folder support. If master user logged in as someone else, the ACLs are checked as the master user. + Added some Dovecot extensions to checkpassword passdb, see ChangeLog + Updated passwd-file format to allow specifying any key=value fields + Maildir++ quota support and several quota fixes + passdb supporting extra fields: Added "allow_nets" option which takes a comma separated list of IPs/networks where to allow user to log in. + NFS: Handle ESTALE errors the best way we can + IMAP now writes to log when client disconnects + In shared mailboxes (if dovecot-shared file exists) \Seen flags are now kept only in index files, so as long as each user has a separate index file they have separate \Seen flags. - Fixes to DIGEST-MD5 realm handling so it works with more clients - BODYSTRUCTURE -> BODY conversion from cache file was broken with mails containing message/rfc822 parts. - Fixed several memory leaks - We could have sent client FETCH notifications about messages before telling about them with EXISTS - Compiling fixes for Solaris and some other OSes - Fixed problem with internal timeout handling code, which caused eg. outlook-idle workaround to break. - If /dev/urandom didn't exist, we didn't seed OpenSSL's random number generator properly. Patch by Vilmos Nebehaj. - Maildir: Recent flags weren't always immediately removed from mails when mailbox was opened. - Several changes to SSL proxying code, hopefully making it work better.

Hello! Yesterday I upgraded from 1.0beta3 to 1.0beta4. I've major problems now with my inbox (quite large, 900MB) and another large folder. Thunderbird 1.5 connects and disconnects. I tried to delete the indexes of dovecot and thunderbird without any sucess.

[Dovecot] Re: Courier to Dovecot Maildir conversion
by Roger Weeks 03 Apr '06

03 Apr '06

We went through a courier to dovecot conversion. There are a couple of things that might be causing this problem. 1. Dovecot namespaces 2. Client configuration Your namespaces might not be taking into account the fact that courier prefixed all files and directories in the maildir with a dot (.). You can get around this a couple of ways. We had almost no IMAP clients under courier, so I renamed everything in our IMAP client directories away from .files and .directories, and used a default namespace without dots. Also some clients like Apple Mail needed an IMAP prefix like INBOX. to work with courier. I had to remove those with the dovecot namespace I set up. -- Roger J.

[Dovecot] hard quota example, 1.0b3
by Jeff A. Earickson 03 Apr '06

03 Apr '06

Timo, Here's an example of the filesystem quota issue: A user was near his hard filesystem quota, so he moved some junk to his Trash folder to clear disk space. He got the following error on his IMAP client: "Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. {2006-04033 11:08:44]". My setup: Solaris 9, beta3 (soon going to beta4), mbox format, IMAP only. Home directories (where IMAP folders and index files go) have filesystem quotas. Jeff Earickson Colby College

[Dovecot] MySQL auth issues?
by Matthias Saou 03 Apr '06

Hi, Since my last email about RHEL4 problems on x86_64, I've kept trying to figure out what the problem might be, and just ran into a reply to an old email I sent to the list, which I had missed. It suggests that the issue might be in the MySQL authentication that I'm using. Here is a more detailed log entry, with auto debugging on : Apr 3 13:13:02 s1 dovecot: auth(default): client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=POP3 lip=::ffff:195.x.x.x rip=::ffff:195.x.x.x resp=AHBhcnRuZXJzQdNvbW1lcm3lZ2F0ZS5jb20Aa2F2YWthdmE= Apr 3 13:13:02 s1 dovecot: auth(default): client out: OK 1 user=x(a)domain.com Apr 3 13:13:02 s1 dovecot: auth(default): master in: REQUEST 70 22190 1 Apr 3 13:13:02 s1 dovecot: auth-worker(default): sql(x@domain.com,::ffff:195.x.x.x): SELECT maildir, 101 AS uid, 103 AS gid FROM mailbox WHERE username = 'x(a)domain.com' Apr 3 13:13:02 s1 dovecot: auth(default): master out: USER 70 x(a)domain.com maildir=domain.com/x/ uid=101 gid=103 Apr 3 13:13:02 s1 dovecot: pop3-login: Login: user=<x(a)domain.com>, method=PLAIN, rip=::ffff:195.x.x.x, lip=::ffff:195.x.x.x Apr 3 13:13:02 s1 dovecot: pop3(x(a)domain.com): ^GUnexpected eof found when reading file 'UNOPENED' (Errcode: 0) Apr 3 13:13:02 s1 last message repeated 2 times Apr 3 13:13:02 s1 dovecot: pop3(x(a)domain.com): Disconnected: Logged out top=0/0, retr=0/0, del=0/2, size=17174 Those "Unexpected eof found when reading file 'fileName'" messages are apparently from MySQL, as one can see here for instance : http://www.mysqlfreaks.com/errors/49.php Here is my relevant configuration (all the rest is the default) : login_greeting = Ready. verbose_proctitle = yes first_valid_uid = 101 default_mail_env = maildir:/home/vmail/%d/%n:INDEX=MEMORY auth_cache_size = 512 auth_verbose = yes auth_debug = yes auth_debug_passwords = yes auth default { mechanisms = plain passdb sql { args = /etc/dovecot-mysql.conf } userdb sql { args = /etc/dovecot-mysql.conf } } The INDEX=MEMORY was added because of similar errors with the indexes : Apr 3 12:56:44 s1 dovecot: pop3-login: Login: user=<x(a)domain.com>, method=PLAIN, rip=::ffff:195.x.x.x, lip=::ffff:195.x.x.x, TLS Apr 3 12:56:44 s1 dovecot: pop3(x(a)domaine.com): Corrupted transaction log file /home/vmail/domain.com/x/dovecot.index.log: unexpected end of file while reading header Apr 3 12:56:44 s1 dovecot: pop3(x(a)domain.com): Corrupted transaction log file /home/vmail/domain.com/x/dovecot.index.log: unexpected end of file while reading header Apr 3 12:56:44 s1 dovecot: pop3(x(a)domain.com): Disconnected: Logged out top=0/0, retr=0/0, del=0/0, size=0 (this was when the auth_debug wasn't enabled) Here is my /etc/dovecot-mysql.conf file : driver = mysql connect = host=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock dbname=postfix user=postfix password=xxx default_pass_scheme = PLAIN password_query = SELECT password FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' user_query = SELECT maildir, 101 AS uid, 103 AS gid FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' I'm using MySQL 4.1.12-3.RHEL4.1 (the original RHEL4 packages), with the server on the same machine (hence the socket access).

With x86_64 packages, any slight change to the main dovecot.conf file can prevent dovecot from starting (segfault with "Unexpected eof found when reading file 'UNOPENED' (Errcode: 0)" message), whereas i386 packages work somewhat better. This is on the same machine with an i386 compatibility layer. Is anyone using MySQL auth successfully? Any help or pointers would be more than welcome.

Hi, I think the problem is in Dovecot. I'm using both Evolution and Thunderbird on a Gentoo box. One of my folders keeps locking up and the clients can't retrieve the messages. The situation appears to be triggered by trying to move a message into that folder. Deleting the index files (under /var/log/dovecot/xxx/) solves the problem (temporarily). I get these error messages in the logs: Mar 31 15:10:34 dovecot: imap(cvicente): mbox sync: UID inserted in the middle of mailbox /home/xxx/Mail/xxx (93 > 3, seq=93, idx_msgs=3455) Mar 31 15:10:34 dovecot: imap(cvicente): file mbox-sync-update.c: line 55 (mbox_sync_move_buffer): assertion failed: (ctx->mail.offset + ctx->mail.space <= ctx->hdr_offset + pos || ctx->mail.offset > ctx->hdr_offset + pos + have) Mar 31 15:10:35 dovecot: child 32373 (imap) killed with signal 6 M I'm running dovecot-1.0_beta3 Hope this gets some attention from the developers. cv >In the maillog I get > > Mar 29 09:17:25 bree dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<hartr>, > method=plain, rip=::ffff:127.0.0.1, lip=::ffff:127.0.0.1, secured > Mar 29 09:17:25 bree dovecot: imap(hartr): mbox sync: UID inserted > in the middle of mailbox /var/mail/hartr (8 > 1, seq=2, idx_msgs=4) > Mar 29 09:17:25 bree dovecot: imap(hartr): file mbox-sync-update.c: > line 55 (mbox_sync_move_buffer): assertion failed: (ctx->mail.offset > + ctx->mail.space <= ctx->hdr_offset + pos || ctx->mail.offset > > ctx->hdr_offset + pos + have) > Mar 29 09:17:26 bree dove

[Dovecot] Dovecot-news mailing list created
by Timo Sirainen 02 Apr '06

02 Apr '06

New low-traffic list created for people who only wish to see new release announcements and possibly some other rare important announcements. Also from now on no-one can send mails to either of these lists with From-field containing "tss(a)iki.fi" or "Timo Sirainen", unless it also contains a valid PGP signature from me. If someone wants to see the script (and please check if there are any bugs in it, thanks :), it's here: http://iki.fi/tss/gpgcheck.pl
