[Dovecot] Dovecot not liking AD config from wiki??
by Kaya Saman 20 Jun '12

20 Jun '12

Hi, I'm trying to setup Dovecot with MS AD and am using this as my guide: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/ActiveDirectoryNtlm I can definitely access information on the AD server using wbinfo -g and wbinfo -u..... Currently my dovecot.conf file looks like this: # v1.1: #auth_ntlm_use_winbind = yes # v1.2+: auth_use_winbind = yes auth_winbind_helper_path = /usr/local/bin/ntlm_auth protocols = imap # It's nice to have separate log files for Dovecot. You could do this # by changing syslog configuration also, but this is easier. log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-info.log # Disable SSL for now. ssl = no disable_plaintext_auth = no # We're using Maildir format #mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir mail_location = mbox:/mail:INBOX=/mail/%u # If you're using POP3, you'll need this: #pop3_uidl_format = %g # Authentication configuration: auth_verbose = yes auth_debug = yes auth_username_format = %n auth_mechanisms = plain ntlm login userdb { driver = static args = uid=501 gid=501 home=/mail/%u driver = static allow_all_users=yes } According to the documentation I should be using: userdb static { ... } which seems to be Dovecot v1. config, and additionally the "allow_all_users=yes" statement when added seems again v1. config since Dovecot 2. won't even start? In the meantime when not using "allow_all_users" Dovecot throws up these errors: Jun 20 11:30:40 master: Warning: Killed with signal 15 (by pid=4149 uid=0 code=kill) Jun 20 11:30:48 auth: Fatal: No passdbs specified in configuration file.

[Dovecot] Very High Load on Dovecot 2 and Errors in mail.err.
by Urban Loesch 20 Jun '12

20 Jun '12

Hi, I have a DELL PE R610 (32GB RAM 2x Six Core CPU and about 1,4 TB RAID 10) running with 20.000 Mailaccounts behind 2 Dovecot IMAP/POP3 Proxies on a Debian Lenny. The Server was running about 1 year without any problems. 15Min Load was between 0,5 and max 8. No high IOWAIT. CPU Idletime about 98%. But since yesterday morning the Systemload on the Server has been increased over 500. I Think this is very high. The strange thing: there was no IOWAIT and the CPU Idle time was allways the same on about 98%. The total amount of IMAP Sessions is about 300 - 600.

[Dovecot] message parser: Fixed infinite loop when parsing a specific message.
by Timo Sirainen 20 Jun '12

20 Jun '12

I committed this change to all hg branches: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.1/rev/4461b48fcc1f After that I realized that it doesn't actually matter, because it fixes only a situation where input buffer's size is less than 84 bytes. This happened on a test program where I was using a 64 byte buffer, but the real code in Dovecot always uses much larger buffers. So, don't worry, there's no way to actually DOS Dovecot with this. No need for distro people to create any security releases.

[Dovecot] doveadm fetch LARGE attachments and remove message
by Bradley Giesbrecht 19 Jun '12

19 Jun '12

Looking at the wiki and man pages I am unsure how to fetch email attachments from a unix shell. I have an "doveadm search" that returns the messages that have the attachments I am after. Would I loop through an "doveadm fetch" and use a commandline imap client to save the attachments and move the message to the Trash? Or is there a doveadm command for this? Regards, Bradley Giesbrecht (pixilla)

[Dovecot] dovecot-sieve and LMT
by Martin Weil 19 Jun '12

19 Jun '12

Dear list, My mail server is working perfectly. So I am trying to add feature after feature, until I have all the features I need. This has worked fine until now. I am trying to get dovecot-sieve to work. So I activated dovecot-lda and the sieve plugin and told postfix to use deliver instead of procmail. After restarting all services I then created a test sieve file. Obviously I have not yet understood the whole process completely because, it simply does not work. I suspect some permission problems or misconfiguration of the sieve file, but I am not sure where to look for solutions. -rw-r--r-- 1 2001 2001 116 2012-06-16 21:25 /var/mail/vmail/domain.com/user/dovecot.sieve dovecot.sieve require "fileinto"; if header :contains ["subject"] ["Test"] { fileinto ".Folder1"; } else { fileinto ".Folder2"; } Of course Folder1 and Folder2 do exist. (/var/mail/vmail/domain.com/user/mail/.Folder1 and Folder2) As far as I can tell there are no errors reported anywhere, I checked mail.log and syslog. 2001 is the virtual uid/gid of this particular user. If anyone can help me with this it would be great. The Mailserver works very well apart from this. There was one odd thing apart from this. In the docs I read that auth-master has to be running for deliver to work correctly. I did not know this before, but mails were delivered correctly after I started using deliver. So is there a need for auth-master to be running or not? Thanks a lot Martin dovecot -n output: # 1.2.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.18-028stab091.2 i686 Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS reiserfs log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: imap imaps lda ssl: required ssl_cert_file: /home/mweil/CA/cert.pem ssl_key_file: /home/mweil/CA/key.pem login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login mail_max_userip_connections: 25 mail_privileged_group: mail mail_uid: 10000 mail_gid: 10000 mail_location: maildir:/var/mail/vmail/%d/%n/mail mbox_write_locks: fcntl dotlock lda: postmaster_address: postmaster(a)domain.com mail_plugins: sieve mail_plugin_dir: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda auth default: user: nobody passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: prefetch userdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 432 plugin: sieve: /var/mail/vmail/%d/%u/dovecot.sieve postconf -n: alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases append_dot_mydomain = no biff = no broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes config_directory = /etc/postfix inet_interfaces = all mailbox_command = /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver mailbox_size_limit = 0 message_size_limit = 102400000 mydestination = host.domain.net, localhost, mydomain = domain.com myhostname = host.domain.com mynetworks = 127.0.0.1 myorigin = $mydomain readme_directory = no recipient_delimiter = + relayhost = smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtp_scache smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Ubuntu) smtpd_client_restrictions = smtpd_error_sleep_time = 1s smtpd_hard_error_limit = 20 smtpd_helo_restrictions = smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks reject_sender_login_mismatch permit_sasl_authenticated reject_unauth_destination reject_unverified_recipient smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot smtpd_sender_login_maps = pgsql:/etc/postfix/lookup/pgsql_sasl_senders.cf smtpd_sender_restrictions = smtpd_soft_error_limit = 10 smtpd_tls_auth_only = yes smtpd_tls_cert_file = /home/mweil/CA/cert.pem smtpd_tls_key_file = /home/mweil/CA/key.pem smtpd_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtpd_scache smtpd_use_tls = yes virtual_alias_maps = pgsql:/etc/postfix/lookup/pgsql_virtual_alias.cf virtual_gid_maps = pgsql:/etc/postfix/lookup/pgsql_virtual_gid.cf virtual_mailbox_base = /var/mail/vmail/ virtual_mailbox_domains = domain.com virtual_mailbox_limit = 0 virtual_mailbox_maps = pgsql:/etc/postfix/lookup/pgsql_virtual_accounts.cf virtual_uid_maps = pgsql:/etc/postfix/lookup/pgsql_virtual_uid.cf

[Dovecot] question about fts_squat
by Wojciech Puchar 18 Jun '12

18 Jun '12

just installed dovecot with fts_squat config attached after message. When i telnet to imap server and execute by hand 1 login user password select foldername search body "someword" it works fine, and at blazing speed except first run (indexing). i already indexed everything by doveadm index offline to prevent server overload if multiple users (after i tell them) will try fulltext search. All great BUT it doesn't work in thunderbird. Just gives zero results. i used tcpdump to check how thunderbird executes it and it uses search undeleted body "someword" tried manually and it DOES NOT WORK. always give empty results. even search all body "someword" doesn't work. while search body "someword" always work very well. what's wrong? # 2.1.7: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: FreeBSD 8.3-STABLE amd64 disable_plaintext_auth = no listen = * mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir mail_plugins = fts fts_squat namespace inbox { inbox = 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 = } passdb { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/deny-users deny = yes driver = passwd-file } passdb { driver = pam } plugin { fts = squat fts_squat = partial=4 full=10 } protocols = imap ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = passwd } protocol imap { mail_plugins = fts fts_squat }

Just gives zero results. i used tcpdump to check how thunderbird executes it and it uses search undeleted body "someword" tried manually and it DOES NOT WORK. always give empty results. even search all body "someword" doesn't work. while search body "someword" always work very well. what's wrong? # 2.1.7: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: FreeBSD 8.3-STABLE amd64 disable_plaintext_auth = no listen = * mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir mail_plugins = fts fts_squat namespace inbox { inbox = 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 = } passdb { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/deny-users deny = yes driver = passwd-file } passdb { driver = pam } plugin { fts = squat fts_squat = partial=4 full=10 } protocols = imap ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = passwd } protocol imap { mail_plugins = fts fts_squat }
