[Dovecot] Mailbox Delete
by Alex Baule 27 Nov '10

27 Nov '10

Hi Timo.... I Modify the plugin autocreate, that create and subscribe a mailbox to user. My modification consist in do the inverse, if my user don't have permission to create and subscribe a folder, the plugin remove and unsubscribe. My function is called in the same place that create and subscribe is called, just seeing if my flag is "create or delete". My function i copy from doveadm + autocreate create mailbox. The delete is made, and works, but i got some errors before the delete. I thing that is missing something in this function, like delete something else.... static void emexis_antispam_mailbox_delete(struct mail_namespace *namespaces, const char *name) { struct mail_namespace *ns; struct mailbox *box; ns = mail_namespace_find(namespaces, &name); if (ns != NULL){ box = mailbox_alloc(ns->list, name, 0); if (mailbox_delete(box) < 0) { struct mail_storage *storage = mailbox_get_storage(box); i_error("Can't delete mailbox %s: %s", name,mail_storage_get_last_error(storage, NULL)); } if (mailbox_mark_index_deleted(box, TRUE) < 0){ struct mail_storage *storage = mailbox_get_storage(box); i_error("Can't delete INDEX %s: %s", name,mail_storage_get_last_error(storage, NULL)); } mailbox_free(&box); } } I got this errors.

[Dovecot] Use a different usename than the recipient address (that require a lookup)?
by Zhou, Yan 26 Nov '10

26 Nov '10

Hi there, I am integrating Postfix and DoveCot, both use LDAP to look up user/email address info. My question is this: can I create a user "jsmith" to get all emails with the recipient address: dovecotdemo@domain? Because of using LDAP, I need to do a lookup to know that the user "jsmith" is getting emails for "dovecotdemo@domain", NOT "dovecotdemo" (there will be no such user). In postfix's master.cf, I can use LDA to deliver to DoveCot, which needs to know the user name where the message should be delivered to. But I would not know that at the time because I need to do a lookup in LDAP. Does the DoveCot delivery agent have any way to allow me return a different user name after LDAP lookup? I would not want to modify a couple of files to accomplish that, because I would have to do that for every email address created.

[Dovecot] (summarized) wishlist :-)
by Clemens Schrimpe 26 Nov '10

26 Nov '10

Hello All (and Timo in particular :-) -- While reading through some of the conversations on this list over the past two weeks or so, I always thought "how would <this> particular problem affect you and how would you address it in your environment?". This results in a few suggestions, or "thing to wish for", which I thought others may find useful, hence I'm posting this here. 1) the whole "post login scripting" is a mighty tool, yet it presently lacks a few more words in the documentation, i.e., the syntax of the corresponding config files isn't /entirely/ clear to me. Yes, I can replay the examples given, but I'm not fully sure, what happens when, etc. I'm perfectly willing, though, to contribute to that, by documenting findings in the Wiki2 (I'm just using 2.0.x, sorry). I'd appreciate a few more examples, so if anyone has a funny, working configuration, making good use of "post login scripting", I'd appreciate it, if you'd "show" them! :-) Anyway: A bit more "control" over PLS would be nice. For example, I'd like to have a script invoked every time a new "session" starts (new IMAP/POP3 connection from a unique ID), as many clients open multiple connections at once and usually I wouldn't want to see the second, third, nth connection - just the first. "Nice" would also a "post logout scripting" feature - again: Both for "all" connections, as well as just for the "last" one. Yes, this certainly requires a bit more discussion, I know - but I hope to trigger just that with this message! :-) 2) The "local x.x.x.x {" feature is very nice, yet it could use some "polishing", I guess. Inclusion of ports and wildcards for either addresses or ports, for instance. I'm imagining a syntax like this: local 1.2.3.4 { ... } like now to remain backward compatible local 1.2.3.4:* { ... } same result, just different new syntax -> don't care about port local 1.2.3.4:4711 { ... } add port restriction local *:4711 { ... } don't care for address, but match on port and -of course- (yes, I am really USING IPv6), the use of "[2001:xxxx:yyyy::zzzz]" instead of "1.2.3.4" in the examples show above. If one would like to become really funky, the optional "/xx" addition to specify a prefix-length would leave no more wishes open. (Well ... maybe the use of "names" derived from DNS instead of literal addresses, of course :-) [if this feature becomes clearer to me, I'd -again- be happy to help document it within the Wiki2] 3) The "iterate_query" in the SQL interface (I assume, there is something similar in the LDAP realm?) could be supplied with a few (optional, of course) "%x" variables, i.e., "%s" could deliver the "service" again, like with the other queries. This could tell the database engine, what the "show me all users" query is being used for ("quota", "expunge", ... basically all functions of doveadm, where you can supply a "-A" parameter). A "%{env:HOST}" could be used to tell the DB interface, which node of a multi-node installation is "asking". I.e., if you have your users distributed over multiple nodes, each one might want to perform "cleanups" only for their own users, saving a lot of bandwidth for unnecessary NFS traffic, etc. That's it - for now. Otherwise I'm pretty happy with dovecot, let me make that very clear here! :-) :-) :-) Clemens

[Dovecot] ioloop.c panic
by Brad Davidson 26 Nov '10

26 Nov '10

Timo, Just this morning I upgraded from 2.0.6 to 2.0.7 (hg changeset 66a523135836). A few hours later we had some power problems that caused the networking to drop out at one site. The directors on the surviving site all had a few imap-login processes crash with the following error: Nov 23 09:15:30 cc-director1 dovecot: imap-login: Panic: file ioloop.c: line 35 (io_add): assertion failed: (fd >= 0) Nov 23 09:15:31 cc-director1 dovecot: imap-login: Panic: file ioloop.c: line 35 (io_add): assertion failed: (fd >= 0) Nov 23 09:55:48 cc-director1 dovecot: imap-login: Panic: file ioloop.c: line 35 (io_add): assertion failed: (fd >= 0) Nov 23 09:55:51 cc-director2 dovecot: imap-login: Panic: file ioloop.c: line 35 (io_add): assertion failed: (fd >= 0) I don't have core dumps enabled, so I can't provide any more information than that. I could enable cores, but I honestly would be hard-pressed to replicate the network cut-out anyway so I'm not optimistic that any cores for this message would ever be forthcoming.

[Dovecot] ldap passdb + mdbox
by Daniel L. Miller 26 Nov '10

26 Nov '10

I previously had a static userdb and an ldap passdb. Everything's been working fine, both 1.2 and 2.0 - but now I need to support the nightly mdbox purge operation. I added the iterate params to my ldap configuration, but (I'm guessing) that with a defined static userdb it won't work. How should I setup my ldap userdb? Do I use prefetch? Current config: passdb { driver = ldap args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf } userdb { driver = static args = uid=vmail gid=mail home=/var/mail/%d/%n mail=mdbox:/var/mail/%d/%n/mdbox allow_all_users=yes } dovecot-ldap.conf: ## dn credentials shouldn't be needed since using auth-bind - but here anyway dn = xxx,dc=amfeslan,dc=local dnpass = xxx ## auth_bind = yes auth_bind_userdn = uid=%n,ou=users,dc=amfeslan,dc=local ldap_version = 3 base = ou=Users, dc=amfeslan, dc=local user_attrs = dbox:%d/%n/Maildir=mail,%d/%n=home user_filter = (mail=%u) pass_attrs = mail=user,userPassword=password pass_filter = (&(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)(mail=%u)) iterate_attrs = mail=user iterate_filter = (&(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)(mail=*)) -- Daniel

[Dovecot] auth on tcp socket?
by Hajo Locke 26 Nov '10

26 Nov '10

Hello, is it possible to provide service auth on tcp-socket instead of unix-socket? I changed my conf and dovecot 2.0.5 is restarting but on telnet test it throws: dovecot: auth: Fatal: getsockname(12) failed: Socket operation on non-socket Want to separate smtp and imap to different servers but keep using dovecot auth for postfix-sasl. Whats to do? hmm, is postfix able to use non-unix socket for dovecot-sasl? Thanks, Hajo

[Dovecot] proxy (director) and destination ports
by Oliver Eales 26 Nov '10

26 Nov '10

Hello, i am delivering Mail from postfix via LMTP to dovecot. I am using the director also for LMTP. As long as i connect to the dovecot LMTP TCP socket from postfix everything is working. postfix main.cf: virtual_transport= lmtp:localhost:30025 But when i try to switch to the local socket postfix main.cf: virtual_transport = lmtp:unix:private/dovecot-lmtp The dovecot proxy tries to connect to the backend server port 0 which is obviously not working. The proxy always seems to connect to the same port on the backend as it was accessed itself. Nov 24 14:55:09 auth: Debug: master out: PASS 1 user=1000000000030 proxy Nov 24 14:55:09 lmtp(7330): Debug: auth input: user=1000000000030 proxy host=10.1.1.151 proxy_refresh=450 Nov 24 14:55:09 lmtp(7330): Error: lmtp client: connect(10.1.1.151, 0) failed: Connection refused Nov 24 14:55:11 director: Error: director(15.189.34.59:13459/out): connect() failed: Connection refused Is it possible to set the destination port (30025) of the backend server to the proxy ?

[Dovecot] Director and deliver
by Thomas Hummel 26 Nov '10

26 Nov '10

Hello Timo, Although I haven't tried neither director nor deliver, I'm planning to try both. I've been catching up with threads on this list talking about director but I'm not sure about how deliver would fit into a setup using director. Since deliver would touch indexes and dovecot-uidlist, wouldn't it need to be proxied as well through director ? Is that the case ? If not, how can we use deliver as LDA in a setup where n directors would proxy to m dovecot backends ? -- Thomas Hummel | Institut Pasteur <hummel(a)pasteur.fr> | Pôle informatique - systèmes et réseau
