[Dovecot] On IMAP vhost login, only Username being used
by hobie＠rumormillnews.com 25 Aug '11

25 Aug '11

Attempting IMAP SSL login on new installation, using Icedove (Debain Thunderbird variant), login fails. Logs show Dovecot attempting to match username only, not username with domain name, on Vpopmail user, so of course no match. Tried with '@' in full username, also with '%'. What's missing?

[Dovecot] Post-login scripting with virtual users
by Mark Willcox 25 Aug '11

25 Aug '11

I am running Dovecot 2.0.13 on Fedora 15. I have migrated from a bincimap installation using checklocalpwd. All email is in folders owned by a unprivileged user, popuser. The email users are entirely virtual and have no relationship to actual linux users. My userdb calls return the UID and GID of popuser and all goes well retrieving the mail via POP3 and IMAP. I am trying to implement a Post-login script to register the IP address that the authentication came from. Dovecot seems to be trying to execute the script as the email non-user, which does not work. I have specified that the script should be run as popuser, but it still runs as devnull(a)dhzone.com for instance. Everything up top that point seems to be happening happily under popuser. I added a "user = popuser" directive and it had no effect that I could see. I know that dovecot read the directive because I changed it to "user = 555" and dovecot would not run because "555" is not a user. I tried adding a "User = popuser" within the unix_listener but that also had no effect. Any ideas?

[Dovecot] Dovecot rejecting Vpopmail User 89
by hobie＠rumormillnews.com 24 Aug '11

24 Aug '11

I'm working to get Dovecot 2.0.13 working along with qmail, Vpopmail and Squirrelmail on a Debian 6.0.2 system, Dovecot compiled, not from a package. Vpopmail has a widely known assigned user/group ID of 89 and is the owner of all the mail folders. Regardless of value of first_valid_uid (1, 89, other), Dovecot denies Squirrelmail connection, saying it can't allow access to UID 89. "Couldn't drop privileges", it says. I'd be grateful for fixes, suggestions, or a pointer to an existing answer to this problem. Thanks ahead. :) Presently dovecot -n shows: # 2.0.13: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 x86_64 Debian 6.0.2 ext3 auth_debug = yes disable_plaintext_auth = no mail_debug = yes mail_location = maildir:/home/vpopmail/domains/%d/%n/Maildir maildir_very_dirty_syncs = yes passdb { driver = vpopmail } protocols = imap pop3 ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = passwd } userdb { args = quota_template=quota_rule=*:backend=%q driver = vpopmail } --hobie

Enable auth_verbose and check the logs. But I'm pretty sure that means Dovecot can't change to the Maildir folder. I assume the user's folder is owned by vpopmail:vchkpw? Is the Maildir NFS mounted or local? Rick Quoting hobie(a)rumormillnews.com: > Thanks, Rick. :) Changed first/last uid/gid so all show 89 and restarted > Dovecot, no change.

[Dovecot] BUG - lmtp multiple recipients fail - setuid issue?
by Boris Lordis 24 Aug '11

24 Aug '11

Hello, I am not having much luck on this particular issue so I wanted to make sure that this is registered as a potential bug. The essence of the problem is that for a given message addressed to multiple users, lmtp writes the message correctly to the first addressed user only, then subsequent user writes fail as the lmtp process doesn't run with the proper permissions and tries to link files from different users as part of its message writing. Below you can see that lmtp (running with steve's id, who was the first listed recipient) is trying to link a file in jerry's inbox meeting with failure: Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, steve): Error: link(/spool/mail/j/jerry/mail/INBOX/u.20423, /spool/mail/s/steve/mail/INBOX/.temp.1311791081.P12412Q2M989550.testmailserver.) failed: Permission denied Jul 27 11:24:42 testmailserver dovecot: lmtp(12412, steve): +1IXBeVXME58MAAARoVNxQ: msgid <201107271824.p6RIOPa5020900 at backup.>: save failed to INBOX: Internal error occurred.

[Dovecot] Attachments not removed from single store
by Karsten Becker 24 Aug '11

24 Aug '11

Hi. Well, I've the next problem. I turned on the new attachment de-duplication stuff in the configuration. If I send an attchment between two accounts on my test system, the attment gets saved ion the configured mail_attachment_dir. But... if I delete it from the senders Send folder and the receivers Inbox (and of course empty Trash afterwards in both cases), the hashes and the attachment are not deleted in mail_attachment_dir (as I would expect). Is this a bug, or have I misunderstood the concept of storing attachments?

[Dovecot] Cannot delete subfolder in public folder
by Karsten Becker 24 Aug '11

24 Aug '11

Hi there, I have the problem that I'm unable to delete a subfolder (again) I created within a public folder. I've already read about configuring Thunderbird to delete immediately - which I did. But it still doesn't work. I delete -> the folder is gone -> I get a TB error message saying "The folder doesn't exist" -> after restarting TB the folders appear again. Maybe someone has a hint. My tip is that I may have a wrong understanding of the ACL mechanism... :-( Regards from Berlin/Germany Karsten ------------------------ Log: > Aug 24 00:01:37 mail01 dovecot: imap(karsten.becker(a)company.eu): Debug: acl vfile: file /etc/dovecot/global-acls//.DEFAULT not found > Aug 24 00:01:37 mail01 dovecot: imap(karsten.becker(a)company.eu): Debug: acl vfile: file /srv/vmail/user-mailboxes/company.eu/karsten.becker/mailboxes/dovecot-acl not found > Aug 24 00:01:37 mail01 dovecot: imap(karsten.becker(a)company.eu): Debug: acl vfile: file /etc/dovecot/global-acls/Folders/test01/aaa not found > Aug 24 00:01:37 mail01 dovecot: imap(karsten.becker(a)company.eu): Debug: acl vfile: reading file /srv/vmail/public_folders/test01/aaa/dovecot-acl Here's the filesystem structure in /srv/vmail: > root@mail01.compdmz.local:/srv/vmail# ls -l public_folders/test01/ > total 20 > drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 2011-08-23 23:50 aaa > drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 4096 2011-08-23 21:45 cur > -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 25 2011-08-23 22:19 dovecot-acl > drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 4096 2011-08-23 21:45 new > drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 4096 2011-08-23 21:45 tmp > root@mail01.compdmz.local:/srv/vmail# Here's the content of dovecot-acl (there are another ones in subfolder aaa with the same content, inherited during creation): > authenticated lrwstipekx Here's my configuration of Dovecot: > # 2.0.13: /usr/local/dovecot-2.0.13/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf > # OS: Linux 2.6.32-33-server x86_64 Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS ext4 > doveconf: Warning: Dovecot was last started using /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf, but this config is /usr/local/dovecot-2.0.13/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf > auth_cache_negative_ttl = 0 > auth_cache_size = 10 M > auth_mechanisms = plain login > base_dir = /usr/local/dovecot/var/run/dovecot > dict { > acl = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-shared-mailboxes-mysql.conf > expire = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-expire-mysql.conf > quota = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-quota-mysql.conf > } > log_timestamp = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S " > login_greeting = Company Institute > mail_attachment_dir = /srv/vmail/attachments > mail_attachment_hash = %{sha256} > mail_cache_min_mail_count = 2 > mail_debug = yes > mail_location = mdbox:/srv/vmail/user-mailboxes/%d/%n > mail_plugins = acl expire quota > mailbox_idle_check_interval = 1 mins > namespace { > inbox = yes > location = > prefix = > separator = / > subscriptions = yes > type = private > } > namespace { > list = children > location = mdbox:/srv/vmail/user-mailboxes/%%d/%%n > prefix = Users/%%d/%%n/ > separator = / > subscriptions = no > type = shared > } > namespace { > list = children > location = maildir:/srv/vmail/public_folders:INDEX=/srv/vmail/user-mailboxes/%d/%n/public_folders-seen:LAYOUT=fs > prefix = Folders/ > separator = / > subscriptions = no > type = public > } > passdb { > args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql.conf > driver = sql > } > plugin { > acl = vfile:/etc/dovecot/global-acls:cache_secs=300 > acl_shared_dict = proxy::acl > expire = Trash > expire2 = Trash/* > expire3 = Junk > expire4 = Junk/* > expire_dict = proxy::expire > quota = dict:User quota::proxy::quota > quota_rule = *:storage=10485760 > quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+1048576 > quota_warning = storage=95%% quota-warning 95 %u > quota_warning2 = storage=80%% quota-warning 80 %u > } > postmaster_address = postmaster(a)company.eu > protocols = imap pop3 > service auth { > unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth_dovecot { > group = postfix > mode = 0660 > user = postfix > } > unix_listener auth-master { > mode = 0600 > user = vmail > } > user = root > } > service dict { > unix_listener dict { > mode = 0600 > user = vmail > } > } > service imap-login { > inet_listener imaps { > port = 993 > ssl = yes > } > process_min_avail = 2 > } > service imap { > vsz_limit = 512 M > } > service pop3-login { > inet_listener pop3s { > port = 995 > ssl = yes > } > } > service quota-warning { > executable = script /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh > user = vmail > } > ssl = required > ssl_cert = </etc/postfix/ssl/mail01.compdmz.local.crt > ssl_key = </etc/postfix/ssl/mail01.compdmz.local.key > userdb { > args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql.conf > driver = sql > } > verbose_proctitle = yes > protocol lda { > auth_socket_path = auth-master > postmaster_address = postmaster(a)company.eu > } > protocol imap { > imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail > imap_max_line_length = 128 k > mail_plugins = acl expire quota imap_acl imap_quota > } > protocol pop3 { > pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh > }

[Dovecot] acl with hierarchy separators mismatched config
by YAEGASHI Takeshi 24 Aug '11

24 Aug '11

Hi there, I'm testing dovecot 2.0.13 on Debian squeeze (deb from http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian) with the following doveconf -n. -------- # 2.0.13 (1449a2e2c1f5): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.26-2-openvz-amd64 i686 Debian 6.0.2 first_valid_uid = 8 mail_debug = yes mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir mail_plugins = listescape mail_log notify acl namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = separator = / type = private } namespace { list = children location = maildir:/var/mail/public:INDEX=~/Maildir/public prefix = Public/ separator = / subscriptions = no type = public } passdb { driver = pam } plugin { acl = vfile } protocols = " imap" ssl = no userdb { args = uid=mail gid=mail home=/var/mail/private/%u driver = static } protocol imap { mail_plugins = listescape mail_log notify acl imap_acl } -------- My primary interest is acl and listescape enabled folders in the public namespace. I've chosen "/" as the hierarchy separator to support folder names with dots ("."). /var/mail/public is a maildir with the maildir++ layout where the separator is a dot ("."). So I set up intial acls and folders as follows: -------- # mkdir /var/mail/public # echo 'anyone lra' >/var/mail/public/dovecot-acl # maildirmake.dovecot /var/mail/public/.aaa # echo 'anyone lrwstipekxa' >/var/mail/public/.aaa/dovecot-acl # chown -R mail.mail /var/mail/public -------- But my attempt to create a mailbox under Public/aaa fails with "Permission denied". -------- # imtest -a yaegashi localhost S: * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE AUTH=PLAIN] Dovecot ready. C: C01 CAPABILITY S: * CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE AUTH=PLAIN S: C01 OK Pre-login capabilities listed, post-login capabilities have more. Please enter your password: C: A01 AUTHENTICATE PLAIN ?????????????????/ S: * CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE SORT SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE QRESYNC ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH LIST-STATUS ACL RIGHTS=texk S: A01 OK Logged in Authenticated. Security strength factor: 0 . getacl Public * ACL "Public" "anyone" alr . OK Getacl completed. . getacl Public/aaa * ACL "Public/aaa" "anyone" akxeilprwtscd . OK Getacl completed. . create Public/aaa/bbb . NO [NOPERM] Permission denied -------- If the layout of /var/mail/public switched to "fs" where the separator is "/", mailbox creation succeeds as expected. -------- namespace { list = children location = maildir:/var/mail/public:INDEX=~/Maildir/public:LAYOUT=fs prefix = Public/ separator = / subscriptions = no type = public } -------- -------- # maildirmake.dovecot /var/mail/public/aaa # echo 'anyone lrwstipekxa' >/var/mail/public/aaa/dovecot-acl # chown -R mail.mail /var/mail/public # imtest -a yaegashi localhost .... . getacl Public * ACL "Public" "anyone" alr . OK Getacl completed. . getacl Public/aaa * ACL "Public/aaa" "anyone" akxeilprwtscd . OK Getacl completed. . create Public/aaa/bbb . OK Create completed. . getacl Public/aaa/bbb * ACL "Public/aaa/bbb" "anyone" akxeilprwtscd . OK Getacl completed. . create Public/aaa/1.2.3 . OK Create completed. . create Public/aaa/cur . NO Invalid mailbox name: Public/aaa/cur -------- Is this behavior expected? Misconfiguration or dovecot bug? I prefer the maildir++ layout with listescape as it's reserved-folder-name free (eg. cur new tmp). Regards, -- YAEGASHI Takeshi <yaegashi(a)debian.org>
