[Dovecot] Dovecot proxy
by Alex Ferrara 05 May '14

05 May '14

Hi everyone, I have a problem that hopefully has an easy solution. I am setting up an IMAP proxy in a DMZ network. It will connect to the real IMAP server and authenticate using "driver = imap", and this I have working really nicely. What I want to do is have it look up a list of users that are allowed to connect through the proxy before proxying the connection, as not all users with an account are permitted to access their email from the internet. I thought that using a post-login script would get me out of trouble, but it isn't possible in a relay configuration. dovecot.conf ## Dovecot configuration file mail_uid = dovecot mail_gid = dovecot protocols = imap listen = *, :: passdb { driver = imap # IMAP server to authenticate against args = host=192.168.1.1 # IMAP server to connect to for mailbox default_fields = proxy=yes host=192.168.1.1 } userdb { driver = prefetch } auth_mechanisms = plain login # This is the auth service used by Postfix to do dovecot auth. service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { } inet_listener { port = 12345 } } ## ## SSL settings ## # These will need to ba adjusted to point to *your* certificates, not mine 8-) # The ssl_ca line refers to the intermediate certificate bundle which may or may not be required by your SSL provider ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/mail.domain.com.au.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/mail.domain.com.au.key #ssl_ca = </etc/pki/tls/certs/ca.crt ssl_cipher_list = ALL:!LOW:!SSLv2:!EXP:!aNULL

[Dovecot] Dsyncing mail in director setup
by Murray Trainer 05 May '14

05 May '14

Hi All, I have a pair of dovecot director proxies and six dovecot backend mailstores using NFS v4.1 to access five filesystems on EMC VNX NFS storage. This is all working fine until I try and dsync new email mailboxes via one of the mailstores onto the NFS storage. I get major NFS lockups at random on one or more of the mailstores with none of the NFS mounts accessible on one or more of the mailstores. I am getting our storage guy to look into it to see if it is just a performance issue. I can understand there may be locking issues but I wouldn't have thought it would have this effect. I also wonderif there is a better way to run dsync so it handle writing to NFS? Maybe passing it some of the nfs related dovecot options? Thanks Murray

[Dovecot] Dovecot/Postfix Auth, howto not working ?
by Matt . 05 May '14

05 May '14

Hi Guys, I'm trying to auth Dovecot agains FreeIPA using this tut: http://www.freeipa.org/page/Dovecot_IMAPS_Integration_with_FreeIPA_using_Si… (and also Postfix using this: https://www.dalemacartney.com/2013/03/14/deploying-postfix-with-ldap-freeip… it should be working with dovecot at the end I believe) I'm having some issues here and get the following errors no matter what I do: May 4 23:13:18 mail-01 dovecot: auth: Fatal: No passdbs specified in configuration file. LOGIN mechanism needs one May 4 23:13:18 mail-01 postfix/smtpd[2949]: error: open database /etc/aliases.db: No such file or directory May 4 23:13:18 mail-01 postfix/smtpd[2949]: warning: dict_nis_init: NIS domain name not set - NIS lookups disabled May 4 23:13:18 mail-01 dovecot: master: Error: service(auth): command startup failed, throttling May 4 23:13:18 mail-01 postfix/smtpd[2949]: connect from unknown[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] May 4 23:13:28 mail-01 dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, lip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx May 4 23:13:28 mail-01 postfix/smtpd[2949]: fatal: no SASL authentication mechanisms May 4 23:13:29 mail-01 postfix/master[1627]: warning: process /usr/lib/postfix/smtpd pid 2949 exit status 1 May 4 23:13:29 mail-01 postfix/master[1627]: warning: /usr/lib/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup -- throttling May 4 23:14:18 mail-01 dovecot: auth: Fatal: No passdbs specified in configuration file.

I hope someone can help me out! Thanks! Matt

[Dovecot] Unknown user when sending internal email
by SIW 04 May '14

04 May '14

I use MySQL to store my virtual users, domains and aliases. My database is setup as follows: |CREATE| |TABLE| |`dovecot_passwords` (| |||`username` ||varchar||(100) ||NOT| |NULL||,| |||`appname` ||varchar||(50) ||NOT| |NULL||,| |||`||password||` varbinary(256) ||NOT| |NULL||,| |||PRIMARY| |KEY| |(`username`,`appname`)| |) I then add a users: | |INSERT| |INTO| |dovecot_passwords (username, appname, ||password||) ||VALUES||( ||'test(a)domain.com'||, ||'desktop'||, MD5(||'password'||) ); My /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext has: | |driver = mysql | |connect = host=127.0.0.1 dbname=mailserver user=mailuser password=blahblah| |default_pass_scheme = PLAIN password_query = SELECT NULL AS password,'Y' as nopassword, username AS user||||FROM dovecot_passwords||||WHERE username = '%u' AND password=MD5(REPLACE('%w',' ','')) Logging in works great and I can use a desktop email client or webmail just fine to check email. The problem occurs when I try to email another user in MY domain. When I send an email from user1(a)domain.com to user2(a)domain.com I get the following error in the logs: to=<user1(a)domain.com>, relay=mail.domain.com[private/dovecot-lmtp], delay=0.08, delays=0.05/0.01/0/0.02, dsn=5.1.1, status=bounced (host mail.domain.com[private/dovecot-lmtp] said: 550 5.1.1 <user1(a)domain.com> User doesn't exist: user1(a)domain.com (in reply to RCPT TO command)) | I thought it may have something to do with this: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/DomainLost To quote: SQL password_query gets often misconfigured to drop the domain if username and domain are stored separately. For example: # BROKEN: password_query = SELECT username AS user, password FROM users WHERE username = '%n' AND domain = '%d' The "username AS user" changes the username permanently and the domain is dropped. You can instead use: # MySQL: password_query = SELECT concat(username, '@', domain) AS user, password FROM users WHERE username = '%n' AND domain = '%d' Despite the above I didn't have any luck. From what I can tell in the logs it is using the username AND domain for the user (and not dropping off the domain). Does anyone know how I can get local mail delivery to work again? I have changed the way my users are stored in MySQL so that I can make use of "Application Specific Passwords". If I revert back to using the previous user database internal mail works fine again. I can't seem to figure this out so appreciate any help! Any questions please ask.

[Dovecot] IMAP clients can't connect while dovecot 2.0.9 is configured for LDAP
by Matthew Badeau 03 May '14

03 May '14

Good evening, Currently, it’s using mySQL for the passdb and userdb. This works fine but when I switch to LDAP it starts having problems. I’m trying to set up dovecot to use LDAP as its userdb and passdb. I’ve read the docs but I think I may be missing something obvious or I didn’t understand something right. The clients can’t connect through IMAP using MD5-Challenge Response. They also don’t work with plain auth.. When I run the command ` doveadm auth user(a)domain.com ` , it works! When I run ` doveadm auth -x service=imap user(a)domain.com ` that also works! What am I doing wrong??? I get the following error: Error: Apr 29 02:04:02 servername dovecot: auth: Fatal: CRAM-MD5 mechanism can't be supported with given passdbs Here is my config: # 2.0.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-431.5.1.el6.x86_64 x86_64 CentOS release 6.5 (Final) ext4 auth_debug = yes auth_verbose = yes mail_location = maildir:/home/mailuser/%u managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date mbox_write_locks = fcntl passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext driver = ldap } plugin { sieve_dir = ~/sieve sieve_global_dir = /var/lib/dovecot/sieve/ sieve_global_path = /var/lib/dovecot/sieve/default.sieve } protocols = pop3 imap sieve lmtp sieve service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0666 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-userdb { group = mailuser mode = 0640 user = mailuser } } service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve { port = 4190 } } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/servernameredacted.crt ssl_key = </etc/ssl/certs/servernameredacted.key userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap-userdb.conf.ext driver = ldap } protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = " sieve" } protocol lda { mail_plugins = " sieve" } Thank you for any help or links to docs!

[Dovecot] BINARY FETCH conversion issue
by Michael M Slusarz 03 May '14

03 May '14

Given this test message, with admittedly incorrect QP encoding: ---- From: Test <test(a)example.com> Subject: Test Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/plain To: Test <test(a)example.com> Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2014 00:54:10 +0000 Message-Id: <1(a)example.com> https://example.com/?from=bsu&url=http%3A//www.example.com/ ---- Dovecot 2.2 returns this: C: 5 UID FETCH 4464 (BINARY.PEEK[1]) S: * 1 FETCH (UID 4464 BINARY[1] NIL) S: 5 OK Fetch completed. Contrast with, e.g., Cyrus 2.4: C: 6 UID FETCH 1 (BINARY.PEEK[1]) S: * 1 FETCH (UID 1 BINARY[1] {57} S: [LITERAL DATA: 57 bytes] S: ) S: 6 OK Completed (0.000 sec) (Cyrus FETCH output strips out the spurious non-encoding '=', IIRC). Not sure if this is an example of Cyrus' QP decoder being more robust (or lenient) than Dovecot's. Or whether this is intentional to return NIL for this kind of bad data. Although if intentional, output should probably be a NO response with UNKNOWN-CTE response code, since this appears to be an instance of "the server does not know how to decode the section's CTE". (RFC 3516 [4.3]). michael

[Dovecot] Segfault in auth (when talked to by postfix lda)
by Darac Marjal 02 May '14

02 May '14

Afternoon all. I'm seeing a segfault in dovecot 2.2.12 (debian package 1:2.2.12-2). I can log into dovecot fine with mutt, but the segfaults seem to occur when postfix (2.11.0, debian package 2.11.0-1+b1) tries to deliver a message. This was working fine under 2.2.9 (I can downgrade to that and delivery works). Can anyone help?

[Dovecot] maildir compressed message fix patch
by Richard Platel 02 May '14

02 May '14

When a compressed maildir message has a bad S= size in its filename it puts the user in an unrecoverable state, since maildir's do_fix_size function just does a stat() on the maildir file and saves the compressed size in the filename. This (quick, rough, barely tested) patch addresses this issue, it's inefficient, but we're already in a hopefully rare emergency situation. --- maildir-mail.c 2014-02-11 22:23:37.000000000 +0000 +++ maildir-mail.c.new 2014-04-24 20:41:25.000000000 +0000 @@ -8,6 +8,7 @@ #include "maildir-filename.h" #include "maildir-uidlist.h" #include "maildir-sync.h" +#include "compression.h" #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> @@ -640,6 +641,10 @@ { const char *fname, *newpath, *extra, *info, *dir; struct stat st; + const struct stat * stp; + const struct compression_handler * handler; + struct istream * fstream; + struct istream * cstream; fname = strrchr(path, '/'); i_assert(fname != NULL); @@ -650,13 +655,29 @@ info = strchr(fname, MAILDIR_INFO_SEP); if (info == NULL) info = ""; + fstream = i_stream_create_file(path, 1024); + handler = compression_detect_handler(fstream); + if (handler != NULL && handler->create_istream != NULL) + { + cstream = handler->create_istream(fstream, TRUE); + if (i_stream_stat(cstream, TRUE, &stp) < 0) + { + return -1; + } + st = *stp; /* dumb copy */ + i_stream_unref(&cstream); + } + else + { if (stat(path, &st) < 0) { if (errno == ENOENT) return 0; mail_storage_set_critical(&mbox->storage->storage, "stat(%s) failed: %m", path); return -1; - } + } + } + i_stream_unref(&fstream); newpath = t_strdup_printf("%s/%s,S=%"PRIuUOFF_T"%s", dir, t_strdup_until(fname, extra),

[Dovecot] ID command and dovecot
by Jernej Porenta 02 May '14

02 May '14

Heya, we are seeing some strange issues with IMAP ID command using latest Roundcube builds on dovecot 2.2.10 responding "Input buffer full, aborting". Roundcube webmail connects to IMAP server and issues ID command first with some long arguments to ID command, however shorter than 1024 octets, which are specified in RFC2971 for ID IMAP extension. The situation is easily reproducible (see http://pastebin.com/q4HX4wqb) # telnet hostname 143 * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN] Server ready. . ID ("name" "Roundcube" "version" "1.0-git" "php" "5.3.3" "os" "Linux" "command" "<$long_less_than_1024_octets_string>") * BYE Input buffer full, aborting However, this problem does not occur when user is already logged in. RFC2971 is saying "Field strings MUST NOT be longer than 30 octets. Value strings MUST NOT be longer than 1024 octets. Implementations MUST NOT send more than 30 field-value pairs." IMHO, dovecot is handling ID command before successful login successfully only if the length of the whole command is less than 1024 octets (exactly 861 octets is working fine, over that "Input buffer full" occurs). I tried finding the reference in the source code, however I am unable to find where this limit actually occurs (maybe IMAP_ARG_STRING imap_arg->type?) thank you in advance, regards, Jernej

[Dovecot] Finding memory leaks
by Philipp Brüll 02 May '14

02 May '14

Hello, I try to find a memory leak in a dovecot plugin that I develop. In order to find it, it would be helpful to print the total amount of memory that is currently allocated. This print could than spread over the source code and the memory consumption can be tracked. I've tried i_debug("pool size %u", (unsigned int)pool_alloconly_get_total_alloc_size(system_pool)); But that failed. Does someone has a good advice? I would like to avoid complex solutions like valgrind. Best regards, Philipp

[Dovecot] Imap user via proxy with starttls - how to rawlogs on proxy ?
by askforstatus 02 May '14

02 May '14

Hello, Is there any way to log user imap dialog with starttls when going via dovecot acting as imap proxy ? My intention is to log each and every user command similar to rawlogs feature. As per my current imap proxy config pre-login working like a charm but post-login is not possible due as i think the nature of proxy feature. Any idea ?

[Dovecot] Not backing up cache files
by Jesus Cea 02 May '14

02 May '14

I am using mdbox for dovecot storage. I wonder if I could skip "dovecot.index.cache" files and, in general, "*.cache" files when doing mail backup. Those files are big and change frequently. What I feel from reading documentation [1][2] is that they could be dropped in the backups, to be recreated on the fly if needed. But I would like expert confirmation.

[Dovecot] BUG dovecot and nginx
by Tobias Oetiker 02 May '14

02 May '14

we have setup a two level proxy configuration for our zimbra server: [ dovecot 2.2.12 (imap proxy mode) ] V [ nginx (imap proxy mode) ] V [ zimbra imap server] and it does not work ... after tying a login, the connection just hangs and ends after 30 seconds with a timeout. - if I try again rightaway in the same dovecot connection, the login goes though without trouble. - looking at this with tshark I can see that on the second attempt, there is no capabilities query, dovecot just goes ahead and connects. if we drop nginx from the setup all is well also (login works directly as expected) - investigating the traffic differences between the setups with and without nginx, we find that for some reason dovecot does not react to the capabily answer from nginx. while it seems to happily accept the same answer when it is coming from zimbra directly. - the only difference I can see on the wire is that nginx is much quicker (2.5ms) in responding than the zimbra (25ms) server and that the position of the STARTTLS and SASL=PLAIN capabilities in the capability answer differs between the two. any ideas ? cheers tobi -- Tobi Oetiker, OETIKER+PARTNER AG, Aarweg 15 CH-4600 Olten, Switzerland www.oetiker.ch tobi(a)oetiker.ch +41 62 775 9902 *** We are hiring IT staff: www.oetiker.ch/jobs ***

[Dovecot] Rebuilding message guid in sdbox
by Renaud Allard 02 May '14

02 May '14

Hello, I am running dovecot 2.2.12 Current mail storage is sdbox and I am trying to compress all emails, which works fine, except for a few old mailboxes. If I run the following dsync command "dsync -u flea -o "mail_plugins=zlib" mirror maildir:~/ndbox" It fails with: dsync(flea): Error: Exporting mailbox INBOX failed: Backend doesn't support GUIDs, sync with header hashes instead Doing "doveadm dump flea/dbox/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index" reveals that there are very old mails (about 5 years ago) without any guid like that one: RECORD: seq=1, uid=1560, flags=0x00 - ext 1 modseq : 16043 (ab3e000000000000) - ext 3 cache : 396 (8c010000) - cache offset=396 size=20, prev_offset = 0 - guid: So, my question is: is there a way to force dovecot to assign a guid to those messages?

[Dovecot] Dovecot Director and MasterUsers
by Daniel Parthey 02 May '14

02 May '14

Hi, the Dovecot Director determines the backend host in some way by hashing the username: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Director For normal logins username(a)example.org, the director always gets the same hash for the same username and ensures that the login is always proxied to the same backend. But what about MasterUsers in combination with Dovecot Director? http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/MasterUsers Which configuration directives should be used to make sure that logins username@example.org*masteruser1@example.org username@example.org*masteruser2@example.org username@example.org*masteruser3@example.org go to the same mailbox backend, in order to avoid NFS caching conflicts for mailbox username(a)example.org which should always reside on the same NFS client? Is the master user cut off from behind the master_user_separator? How is the director hash exactly calculated? Can the director hashing algorithm be configured in some way? Regards Daniel

[Dovecot] LMTP error
by IT geek 31 01 May '14

Hi, I've recently switched to LMTP as I'm now using mdbox. However since switching, mails sent to the root account do not get delivered due to the following error: May 1 18:20:17 Server1 postfix/lmtp[13019]: CAEE91F851: to=<root(a)test.com>, relay=mail.test.com[private/dovecot-lmtp], delay=1097, delays=1096/0.45/0.43/0.46, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (host mail.test.com[private/dovecot-lmtp] said: 451 4.3.0 <root(a)test.com> Invalid user settings. Refer to server log for more information. (in reply to RCPT TO command)) This obviously fills up my mail queue. All other mails to all other mailboxes deliver fine. I'm obviously missing something in my config... any ideas? I'm using Dovecot 2.2.12 on NetBSD 5.2.2.

[Dovecot] Problems with login_log_format (possible bug?)
by Trever L. Adams 01 May '14

01 May '14

login_log_format = %$: %s login_log_format_elements = user=<%u> method=%m rip=%r lip=%l mpid=%e %c session=<%{session}> These are the defaults, at least on a Fedora system. According to http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Variables, this should record for user@REALM when seeing the following Apr 30 18:08:40 TeaSet dovecot: auth: Debug: auth(user,...,<JhKid0v4bAAKAQG6>): username changed user -> user@REALM. If I wanted just user, user=<%u> should be changed to user=<%orig_user>. However, I only get user not user@REALME in imap-login log lines. I wouldn't mind this, but auth_username_format cannot be used in passed{} and I haven't been able to get pam_krb5 to uppercase the realm for it alone. (Everything else depends on it being lowercase.) I can make this work by just passing the user name part of username in the client, but then imap-login still doesn't have the required information for the same reason. Anyone have any suggestions? Thank you, Trever

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.0.16 question...
by Farokh Irani 30 Apr '14

30 Apr '14

I'm running Dovecot 2.0.16 on OS X Server 10.7.5 and I've got a problem with IMAP searches. There are a couple of accounts that are unable to search using an IMAP search, but I can't seem to find anything wrong. Any pointers on what I can do? Is there a search index file that I can delete to force a rebuild, or a script or app that will do that? I tried to use update-fts-index.pl, but to no avail. Thanks!

[Dovecot] doveadm import : Error creating new mailbox
by Administrator BCS 29 Apr '14

29 Apr '14

Hello, I'm new to dovecot. I managed to set up a system running dovecot/mysql/postfix/postfixadmin with a virtual maildir setup on Ubuntu 12.04 I can add and remove users, send and receive mail, create folders, move mail between them etc so all ok. Now trying to manually import some mbox files from the old server into dovecot. Copied a mbox file to the new system, converted it to Maildir with mb2md resulting in a directory containing the new, cur en tmp. Looks ok, old email messages are all there.

[Dovecot] Why does it appear that dovecot is deleting messages after migration?
by Bill Eccles 28 Apr '14

28 Apr '14

Hi, y'all, long-time Mac OS X Server user Bill here with a thorny question for the mailing list since nobody at discussions.apple.com can quite put their finger on the answer. While well-aquainted with other aspects of Server, Dovecot is a bit of a mystery still to me. So here it goes: Background I'm struggling to migrate from MacOS X 10.6 to 10.9. I tried twice using the "live server in target disk mode" method, but after things went horribly awry (meaning I was left with no working services on the new server), I gave up on that and have been working to slowly bring services over, one at a time. I've got both Dovecot and PostFix accepting connections from my test machine, and I am able to connect with IMAP to the new server. What I Do... First, I turn both mail servers off. Then I tar up the /var/spool/imap/dovecot/mail directory on the old server, move it to the new server, untar it in /Library/Server/Mail/Data/ (where it belongs), and change ownership to _dovecot:mail, all per many other suggestions found in the Apple forums. (All files appear to be in maildir format, that I can tell.) I then turn the mail service back on on the new server. What Dovecot Does... (or appears to do) If I quickly connect to the new server with my IMAP client (MacOS X Mail.app) and create a "fresh user" in Mail.app, message folders appear correctly. But it's only a matter of time before Dovecot, or something, runs "doveadm index -u (usernames) (mailboxes)" on all of the mailboxes. As it does, it deletes thousands of messages, leaving, for example, the same 17 in INBOX and 3695 in "Deleted Items Archive". And 0 in others, and other seemingly-random numbers of messages in still yet others. I can watch it marching through the mailboxes, one at a time, if I "ps -ax" enough times. What I've Done to Counteract This... Nothing I've done so far has been able to do anything about it. Re-untar the archive, and it just does it all again. Try using dsync, and it just deletes the messages from the un-tar'd archive. In other words, there are thousands of messages in the archive which don't seem to meet Dovecot's requirement for being in that particular folder, so it deletes them. The "cur" directory in a mailbox directory may start out with >21000 messages in it, but when it's done, it'll have deleted the same messages from "cur" every time, leaving me with a fraction of what I started out with. I even used the 65-migrate_mailboxes.pl script (supplied as part of OS X 10.9 Server), and the same thing happens. (The migrate script does a lot more than just what I've noted above, but most of what it does is responsible for settings and configuration migration. Very little of the script is responsible for moving the data, and that part of the script ends up being a bunch of "cp" followed by a "chown"--essentially what I'm doing.) The Questions What is going on? Failing a fix, am I trying to migrate the wrong way? Is there a better way? Random Thoughts and Observations I've changed hostnames. The old one was shr-xs.mydomain.net, and the new one is shr-mini.mydomain.net. Is it unhappy with that for some reason? In one of the directories where messages are deleted, there were a zillion files named like this: 1396718896.M324523P43630.shr-xs.mydomain.net,S=1209,W=1238:2,Sac There were also a bunch of files named like this: 1211416234.cyrus.457,S=893:2,Sac When it's all said and done, and Dovecot has done its thing, care to guess which ones are left? Only these: 1211416234.cyrus.457,S=893:2,Sac Just to see if I could influence which files get deleted, I deleted all of the dovecot* files in the mailbox directory. And Dovecot recreated them faithfully, but still deleted all but the ones which said "cyrus" in the filenames. I changed the hostname to match shr-xs.mydomain.net, and that doesn't seem to have affected things a bit, though I don't have enough data to support that I really succeeded in changing the hostname for all services (specifically for Dovecot). Is Dovecot really filtering out messages that just don't seem to "belong" in the folder? Thanks, y'all. I've puzzled on this one for about eight hours and it now hurts my brain. I hope somebody else has an answer sans brain hurts.

[Dovecot] Incompatibility Thunderbirds Auth Mech TLS-Certificate <-> Dovecot
by Christian Felsing 25 Apr '14

25 Apr '14

Hello, it seems there there is an issue regarding "TLS-Certtificate" authentication in Thunderbird and Dovecot. Obviously client certificate is recognized by Dovecot: Apr 25 14:29:01 dovecot dovecot: imap-login: Valid certificate: /emailAddress=christian.felsing(a)example.net/CN=Christian Felsing (Test)/OU=CF Certificates/O=example.net/C=DE AFAIK Dovecot always requires IMAP login, even in "static" passdb config. Static means arbitrary password is ok, but not "no login" I hope, I am wrong, following log entry gave a hint, what Thunderbird does or more precisely - not do: Apr 25 14:29:01 dovecot dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts in 5 secs): user=<>, rip=192.168.1.99, lip=192.168.42.1, TLS, session=<3+1THN33NQBtWq5D> Dovecot wants an IMAP login, but Thunderbird does not so. I am not sure if that is a bug (or feature) of Dovecot or Thunderbird. Thunderbird does several strange things on client certificates: 1st) If Dovecot is configured to request a client certificate and Thunderbird is configured to use plain text auth, Thunderbird offers a client certificate and login succeeds as configured in Dovecot. Unfortunately Thunderbird uses same certificate for all configured accounts to that host. Very bad if Dovecot reads username from certificate attributes. 2nd) If Dovecot is configured to request a client certificate and Thunderbird is configured to use TLS-Certificate, Thunderbird also offers a client certificate, but Dovecot requests login from Thunderbird. That fails, because Thunderbird assumes TLS-Certificate is enough for successful log. If it is true that Dovecot is not compatible to Thunderbirds way of TLS-Certificate Authentication, I consider to set up a proxy, which supports that way. May be Nginx would be a solution, it supports IMAP and LUA module plus some LUA code will fake the authentication. This is an ugly hack so I would like to avoid that, if anybody has a better solution. Thunderbird is a very widespread IMAP client so it should not be ignored. best regards Christian ---Dovecot config--- # /opt/dovecot/bin/doveconf -n # 2.2.12: /opt/dovecot/etc/dovecot-cert/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 x86_64 Debian 7.4 auth_debug = yes auth_debug_passwords = yes auth_master_user_separator = * auth_ssl_require_client_cert = yes auth_ssl_username_from_cert = yes auth_username_chars = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ01234567890.-_@#" auth_username_translation = "@#" base_dir = /var/run/dovecot-cert first_valid_uid = 124 last_valid_uid = 124 listen = 192.168.42.1 log_timestamp = %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S login_greeting = example.net imap4/pop3 (cert only) ready. mail_gid = 124 mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir mail_privileged_group = vmail mail_uid = 124 managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date ihave imapflags notify namespace { list = children location = maildir:%%h/Maildir:INDEX=~/Maildir/shared/%%u prefix = shared/%%u/ separator = / subscriptions = no type = shared } namespace inbox { inbox = yes list = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = separator = / type = private } passdb { args = password=test driver = static } plugin { acl = vfile:/etc/dovecot/global-acls:cache_secs=300 acl_shared_dict = file:/var/lib/dovecot/shared-mailboxes autocreate = Trash autocreate2 = Drafts autosubscribe = Trash autosubscribe2 = Drafts quota = maildir:User quota quota_rule = *:storage=500M quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+100M quota_warning = storage=95%% quota-warning 95 %u quota_warning2 = storage=80%% quota-warning 80 %u recipient_delimiter = + sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve sieve_extensions = +notify +imapflags } protocols = imap pop3 lmtp sieve service anvil { client_limit = 4000 } service auth-worker { group = vmail } service auth { client_limit = 8000 unix_listener auth-master { group = vmail mode = 0660 user = vmail } unix_listener auth-userdb { group = vmail mode = 0660 user = dovecot } user = root } service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 143 } inet_listener imaps { port = 993 ssl = yes } process_limit = 1024 } service imap-postlogin { executable = script-login /opt/cfbin/lastlogin.sh } service imap { executable = imap imap-postlogin } service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve { port = 4190 } inet_listener sieve_deprecated { port = 2000 } } service pop3-login { inet_listener pop3 { port = 110 } inet_listener pop3s { port = 995 ssl = yes } process_limit = 1024 } service pop3-postlogin { executable = script-login /opt/cfbin/lastlogin.sh } service pop3 { executable = pop3 pop3-postlogin } service quota-warning { executable = script /opt/cfbin/quota-warning.sh user = vmail } ssl_ca = </opt/dovecot/etc/dovecot/client-ca.pem ssl_cert = </opt/dovecot/etc/dovecot/example.net.pem ssl_cipher_list = kEECDH:kEDH:AESGCM:ALL:+3DES:!RC4:!LOW:!EXP:!MD5:!aNULL:!eNULL ssl_dh_parameters_length = 4096 ssl_key = </opt/dovecot/etc/dovecot/example.net.key ssl_prefer_server_ciphers = yes ssl_verify_client_cert = yes verbose_ssl = yes protocol imap { imap_client_workarounds = tb-extra-mailbox-sep mail_max_userip_connections = 20 mail_plugins = quota imap_quota acl imap_acl } protocol sieve { managesieve_logout_format = bytes ( in=%i : out=%o ) } protocol pop3 { mail_plugins = quota pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv }

[Dovecot] separating logs by port
by Hanno Böck 25 Apr '14

25 Apr '14

Hi, I wanted to ask if there's an easy way to log the port in dovecot. The background is that, as everyone's probably aware, pop3/imap usually listen on two ports (110/995 for pop3, 143/993 for imap). One port is the "classic" port that allows unencrypted and STARTTLS connections, the other is the legacy SSL port that allows TLS only connections. The legacy SSL ports are considered deprecated and I'd like to know if I can deprecate them on my severs. Therefore I'd like to know how many users use them, but at the moment I can't see which port my users use. I haven't found an easy way to detect that. The easiest thing would be if there'd be a way to add the port number to the pop3-login/imap-login lines in the log files. Any way to do that? cu, -- Hanno Böck http://hboeck.de/ mail/jabber: hanno(a)hboeck.de GPG: BBB51E42

[Dovecot] Multiple Instances Of Dovecot On One Messagebase
by Christian Felsing 25 Apr '14

25 Apr '14

Hello, I would like to run multiple instances of Dovecot with same message base (maildir format) Will this set up work or would that destroy message base? Intention is to offer different authentication methods to users, username/password and client certificates. Those instances should run on different IP addresses which is supported by Dovecot. Unfortunately Dovecot does not allow different auth configs in "local <ip> {}" sections. best regards Christian

My old mail server used 2.x dovecot version. you post very little information: 1) how are the messages storred on the old server, which storage backend do you use, maybe Maildir? 2) the storage backend on the new server? 3) do you care about the message UIDs? 4) How many users do you have (approx.) and can you access the user's mailboxes via IMAP, e.g. using a master user or do you know their password or can you switch to a known password during migration of one particular user? 5) Did you've changed namespaces? - From your first post I figure that the basic mail server functionality of the new server is working, most importantly login, message delivery and retrieval. > -----Original Message----- From: Steffen Kaiser > Sent: Thursday, April 10, 2014 6:14 AM > To: K.

[Dovecot] Help implementing username_format in auth PAM driver
by lee＠trager.us 24 Apr '14

24 Apr '14

While configuring my server with dovecot I noticed that the PAM authentication driver does not support the username_format option as does the password file driver. This didn't seem too hard to implement so I through together a patch. As you can see in the attached patch I only modify the username sent to PAM. Despit doing this I run into the domain lost issue(http://wiki2.dovecot.org/DomainLost). This prevents me from using the domain name in my mail_location config string. What I don't understand is why does changing the username string sent to PAM for authentication trigger this issue? Shouldn't dovecot continue to use the client supplied username as I am *not* changing it anywhere in my config? Thanks, Lee

You know best whether you want to take the risk of compromising passwords on your system (including compromised accounts using for spamming and blowing your mail reputation to smithereens), but I don't know whether your customers do. They may think they are only risking their Email, but it can be leveraged to also gain access to other authentication systems e.g. "Forgot password" feature. You can suggest the installation of a SSL proxy for those holdouts that won't switch mail readers (stunnel even has support down to Win98). https://www.stunnel.org/ports.html These days, cleartext passwords over the network is just begging to be compromised.

I think there’s a problem in the imapTest utility? Copy/pasted compile output and attached. The gist of the problem seems to be that imaptest can’t find the dovecot headers and libraries (configure script was executed like this: ./configure --with-dovecot=/usr/src/dovecot-20140420 checkpoint.c:3:17: error: lib.h: No such file or directory checkpoint.c:4:17: error: str.h: No such file or directory <and many more> Based on these errors I believe there’s a compatibility problem between the current imapTest utility and dovecot.

This appears to have been introduced in the last 5 days mercurial updates according to logs. Previously working namespace: namespace { prefix = Virtual/ separator = / location = virtual:~/mdbox/virtual } Regards Thomas
