Looking at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase/ExtraFields/Proxy methinks you want to replace "starttls=y" with "ssl=yes". Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

[Dovecot] Proxy to gmail not working
by Alex Wanderley 07 Oct '13

07 Oct '13

Hi, I've been trying to build a password forwarding proxy to Gmail without success... The SSL connection to Dovecot is happening no problem (as far as I can tell), but for some reason the conversation between Dovecot and Gmail is getting timed out. I know this is supposed to be simple... :-( But could somebody please give me some help by pointing what I'm not doing right? No matter how much I've been researching about this, I can't find the solution. Thanks a lot, Alex # 2.2.5: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.18-308.8.2.el5xen x86_64 CentOS release 5.8 (Final) auth_cache_negative_ttl = 10 mins auth_cache_size = 1 k auth_cache_ttl = 10

[Dovecot] Replication: long detalys
by Lucas Rothamel - Eye Catching Webdesign 07 Oct '13

07 Oct '13

Hello everybody, I am running dovecot 2.1.7 on Debian Wheezy on two servers with replication set up, MTA is postfix. The idea is to have a redundant mail system so that when one server fails, users can continue using the other server (failover of POP/IMAP through DNS redirection). Servers are called srv06 and srv07: Below is the dovecot config, both servers have identical config, only the replica srv0x address is different. I read to put this line into 10-mail.conf and I did: mail_plugins = $mail_plugins notify replication My Problem: When E-Mail arrives on one server, it is only available on the other server many hours later. Same behaviour in both directions. This means I see different mailboxes via IMAP depending on which server I connect to - in theory I want the client not to be able to tell which server it is connected to. dovecot -n: # 2.1.7:

[Dovecot] retr errors
by Bill Morgan 07 Oct '13

07 Oct '13

My ISP uses Dovecot and I have had an ongoing problem for a while using several email clients. Sometimes the response to a retr request is mal-formed. The expected response "+OK nnn octets" is not returned. The response looks like it started somewhere in the message headers. Sometimes a retry can clear the problem but I usually need to delete the first message via a putty session. The problem, when present, is always on the first message. Never seen it in the middle of a series of messages. This problem has been seen on different machines, different versions of Windows, at home and on the road. I have wireshark traces showing good and bad sessions.... ====================== stat +OK 93 1000437 retr 1 +OK 6946 octets Return-path: ..... ========================= retr 1 of blahblah(a)blah.com designates 2607:f8b0:4001:c03::235 as permitted sender) smtp.mail=blahblah(a)blah.com; dkim=pass header.i=(a)blah.com Reply-To: android-developers(a)googlegroups.com Precedence: list Mailing-list: ...... ================== My ISP has been non-helpful.

[Dovecot] Yet another going from 1.2 to 2.X question: authentication
by Mauricio Tavares 07 Oct '13

07 Oct '13

So in 1.2.9 I had something like this: [...] socket listen { master { path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode = 0600 user = virtual # User running Dovecot LDA's deliver } } # Dovecot as SASL Auth socket listen { client { path = /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-auth mode = 0660 user = postfix group = postfix } } I see I can, per http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/PostfixAndDovecotSASL, setup the sasl entry as # Dovecot as SASL Auth service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-auth mode = 0660 user = postfix group = postfix } what about the lda? From http://wiki2.dovecot.org/LDA I take it would be as simple as service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { mode = 0600 user = virtual # User running Dovecot LDA's deliver } } Am I correct?

[Dovecot] Problems getting Squirrelmail and Avelsieve to connect to Pigeonhole
by Steve 06 Oct '13

06 Oct '13

Hi, I have been going around in circles trying to find the solution. Many others appear to have the same problem, but never a solution or explanation. I am running Dovecot 2.0.21 under Fedora 16. All components are running on the same server, whose IP address is shown as '192.168.x.y'. The dovecot -n output is: <quote> /SSH Secure Shell 3.2.0 (Build 267)/ /Copyright (c) 2000-2002 SSH Communications Security Corp - http://www.ssh.com// /This copy of SSH Secure Shell is a non-commercial version./ /This version does not include PKI and PKCS #11 functionality./ /Last login: Sun Oct 6 17:00:08 2013 from 192.168.2.196/ /[root@nsi-server2 ~]# /usr/sbin/dovecot -n/ /# 2.0.21: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf/ /# OS: Linux 3.6.11-4.fc16.x86_64 x86_64 Fedora release 16 (Verne) / /auth_debug_passwords = yes/ /auth_verbose = yes/ /auth_verbose_passwords = plain/ /log_path = /var/log/mail/dovecot.log/ /mail_access_groups = mail/ /mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%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 ihave/ /mbox_write_locks = fcntl/ /passdb {/ / driver = pam/ /}/ /passdb {/ / args = /etc/dovecot/users/ / driver = passwd-file/ /}/ /plugin {/ / sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve/ / sieve_dir = ~/sieve/ / sieve_global_path = /var/lib/dovecot/sieve/default.sieve/ /}/ /protocols = imap pop3 sieve sieve/ /service imap-login {/ / inet_listener imap {/ / address = 192.168.x.y,localhost/ / }/ / inet_listener imaps {/ / address = 192.168.x.y/ / }/ /}/ /service managesieve-login {/ / inet_listener sieve {/ / port = 4190/ / }/ /}/ /service pop3-login {/ / inet_listener pop3 {/ / address = 192.168.x,y,localhost/ / }/ / inet_listener pop3s {/ / address = 192.168.x.y/ / }/ /}/ /ssl_cert = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem/ /ssl_key = </etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem/ /userdb {/ / driver = passwd/ /}/ /userdb {/ / args = /etc/dovecot/users/ / driver = passwd-file/ /}/ </quote> On attempting to connect to the managesieve port from Squirrelmail, using the 'Filter' button i get the following error message: /*Could not log on to timsieved daemon on your IMAP server localhost.*/ /*Please contact your administrator*/ Running/*# /usr/sbin/ngrep -d lo port 4190 */produces the following trace: <quote> /[root@nsi-server root]# /usr/sbin/ngrep -d lo port 4190/ /interface: lo (127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0)/ /filter: (ip or ip6) and ( port 4190 )/ /####/ /T 127.0.0.1:4190 -> 127.0.0.1:35495 [AP]/ / "IMPLEMENTATION" "Dovecot Pigeonhole".."SIEVE" "fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator/ / -i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date ihave".."NOTIFY/ / " "mailto".."SASL" "PLAIN".."STARTTLS".."VERSION" "1.0"..OK "Dovecot ready.".. / /##/ /T 127.0.0.1:35495 -> 127.0.0.1:4190 [AP]/ / AUTHENTICATE "PLAIN" \{28+}.. / /##/ /T 127.0.0.1:35495 -> 127.0.0.1:4190 [AP]/ /c3RldmUAc3RldmUAbWFnaWNsaWs=.. / /##/ /T 127.0.0.1:4190 -> 127.0.0.1:35495 [AP]/ / NO "Invalid characters in atom"..NO "Error in MANAGESIEVE command received by server.".. / /###/ </quote> I hope that someone can provide a way to get the filter management working as I am more that happy with the way Dovecot and Squirrelmail are working, but just want to add server-side filtering, especially tagged mail produced by Spamassassin :) Many thanks Steve

[Dovecot] State of the FTS modules and packaging
by Benjamin Podszun 06 Oct '13

06 Oct '13

Hi there. I'm running a small (VPS) mail system just for myself for quite a while and want to support some friends and family now. For that I'm improving / documenting the setup. One thing I never cared to implement was FTS support. Looking at the options [1] now, I'm stuck. I don't want solr (no Java bashing here, I'm sure that's working awesome. But I don't want to pull all these dependencies in on my tiny VPS: Memory and disk will be as small as I can get away with). With that out of the way: What are my options? Squat: Why's squat deprecated? Did it stop working? Can someone shed some light on the original reasons for the deprecation? What are the risks to go with squat anyway? Clucene: That seems .. unusable. It would be my prefered choice (not deprecated, little dependencies), but .. it isn't packaged in deb based distributions (Debian, Ubuntu). It doesn't even _build_, because it doesn't use pkg-config to find the clucene includes (at least for 2.1.17) in these environments. Centos is even more out of date with 2.0.9. Given the experience above, is solr my only option to offer FTS? Can you guys share how you're having a stable base/os with a somewhat recent (and complete!) dovecot package? Thanks a lot & regards, Ben 1: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/FTS

[Dovecot] Dovecot namespace solved while writing; preparing to refilter
by miro.rovis＠croatiafidelis.hr 06 Oct '13

06 Oct '13

Since I still have to send mail from web, I may not be able to get this message as a reply to my previous mail, but it belongs to this same thread: http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2013-October/092810.html Some of the work I have now done. I can now easily, lest some hurdle shows up, use a script based on the one I mentioned (here it is again: http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/RefilterMail ), but I used maildrop, having harkened to the advice by the author of Debian Reference, Osamu Aoki: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ch06.en.html#_the_remote… http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ch06.en.html#_mail_deliv… So while, after connecting with the password, I wait some 5 or 10 minutes (the machines I install/clone Debian onto are old machines) for all the mail from the other Dovecot on the other machine, same MBO and all, as I explained in the previous message, again; I am preparing this before going online, I haven't see if there are any replies in the last maybe 40 hours)... me@mybox2:~$ getmail getmail version 4.43.0 Copyright (C) 1998-2012 Charles Cazabon.

I really understand only now, that the basis is really e-mail, not the browsers, or other things, for the life on the internet... That the basis is really e-mail these days on Russia Today said also Ladar Levison, the Lavabit.com founder that fought for his users' privacy all the way to losing his business. I admire people of such integrity and humanity! Not like the Canadian Hushmail which sold NSA's whistleblower Thomas Drake... Who says I don't like people from NSA. I highly regard him, and Ross Tice, and some others! It's the usual perception most of people have, that email is less important/less advanced, whatnot, not just me, but not delving into it here. I'm yet to see if my "broader picture" provoked any angry reactions... (Note while proofreading: No reactions, neither good nor bad, I just saw.) But I hope this will be technical enough now and to the completion of this thread... I haven't found anywhere other then on the www.wonkity.com, the address that I gave above, examples for maildrop, so I hope other users will find mine useful, which will be source of content for me... I invested time and effort to arrange those lines. Just let me give you the .muttrc (and completely without the unrelated settings for this story), because the dominant talk is about the maildrop, not the other two configuration files. ----%<-------------------------------------------------------- $ cat ~/.muttrc set mbox_type="maildir" set spoolfile=imaps://me@mybox2/ set folder=imaps://me@mybox2/ set ssl_starttls=yes set ssl_force_tls=yes set imap_passive ----%<-------------------------------------------------------- What I got with that maildrop in my Dovecot, and it would need some functions set, because I used too much pastion to get same work repeated on different input, but I don't know hot to do it, and it is by no means urgent, since I achived all the refiltering and in the way I wanted it, is I decided I wanted all mail in folders by the e-mail address by which I recieve them, and used the usual List-Id header to sort mails into up to two levels deeper, exactly for the famous yukky Stasimail, oh, sorry! I meant zucky Facebookmail. Also it would be great to check for existance of a foled before attemting to create it... It hasn't been yet urgent to me, and I am rather exhausted now, not only from this coding, but also because I got the tumbleweed pollen allergy (American native plant, brought here as ornamental plant in Columbo's time, but nauseating/suffocating (but rarely to death), fever causing to lots of people in Europe, through allergy, so I was also bed-ridden much of the time... and I am not well neither as I am writing this, so not much of proofreading before sending this. And to check for existance I guess it's with ... ~= ( some expression) of folders, so not to get an error on every fail attempt at creating folders as Warren Block explained here: http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/docs/html/maildrop.html#_em_maildir_em_compa… , and maybe improve those lines by using some foreach loop or some such means... Ah, notice that I start with no folder whatsoever, neither mbox not maildir type, I let the script do it all in my /home/mr! The .mailfilter settings above for maildrop upon completion of refiltering gave me, in my mutt, not going back to no GUIs no more, thanx so kindly!, but no love lost there, with all your Java and Javascript and stinking popup windows out of nowhere and rummiging in my machine which I in no way provoked, let alone initiated, and most certainly not acquiesced to...

The fact that some are named in numbers and not in [a-z] is only because that is the first part of the address, before @facebookmail.com part. Not touching that, no need to spend time on those... If there is some user who would like to have any more explanaion on this, I can try and tell more, but I know most of the users here know more and can do better that I, so I leave the talk now. I'll take a few looks back to see if I got any replies, just I can't do it in very frequent periods at all. I also have a few issues probably for the Mutt people to solve, the issues I suspect are with Mutt, but they are not urgent either. And also, not major issue, I tried sticking :DIRNAME=mAildir to the end of my mail_location line, but it simply didn't work, I mean, as per: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailLocation/Maildir I will try and get the stunnel to get my outgoing mail on the 465 port with TLS, but that is not an issue related here at all I think. Thanks again to you fine developers for these great programs. Timo Sirainen, you are greatly appreciated here, and my respect for your fine country Finland, and for your nation!

[Dovecot] fail2ban

For dovecot 2.1 as per wiki2, is this still valid? noticed a problem before and saw it does seem to be triggering, I use: maxretry = 6 findtime = 600 bantime = 3600 and there was like, 2400 hits in 4 minutes, it is pointing to the correct log file, but I am no expert with fail2ban, so not sure if the log format of today is compatible with the wiki2 entry filter.d/dovecot.conf [Definition] failregex = (?: pop3-login|imap-login): (?:Authentication failure|Aborted login \(auth failed|Aborted login \(tried to use disabled|Disconnected \(auth failed).*rip=(?P<host>\S*),.* ignoreregex =
