[Dovecot] Delete user data from Dovecot server
by Thiago Henrique 18 Aug '10

18 Aug '10

Hello, I'm testing Dovecot 2.0. I plan to use Dovecot 2.0 with thousands of domains per server. My user base is under virtual MySQL. when I add a user in the database, it is automatically created in the structure of Dovecot at first login. Is there a easy way to delete a user ? Thank you. -- Atenciosamente, Thiago Henrique (21)2233-5950 ramal 27 Infra Estrutura Linux Hostnet Internet - www.hostnet.com.br Digirati Telecomunicações - www.digirati.com.br

[Dovecot] reverting back to 1.2.12
by Dennis Clarke 18 Aug '10

18 Aug '10

ver 1.2.13 is also tossing these : Aug 18 03:37:49 dovecot: Warning: I/O leak: 805c600 (27) Aug 18 03:37:49 dovecot: Warning: I/O leak: 805c600 (25) Aug 18 03:37:49 dovecot: Warning: I/O leak: 805c600 (23) I have reverted back to 1.2.12 which "just works". I will go back and recompile 1.2.13 and 2.0.0 again. Maybe the addition of postgressql libs linked in or the use of GCC is the issue on Solaris. Not sure but 1.2.12 to 1.2.13 did not go smoothly at all. Dennis

[Dovecot] 2.0 and vpopmail
by Jason 'XenoPhage' Frisvold 18 Aug '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, Does 2.0 require a specific version of vpopmail? I'm getting this on my build attempt : /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/dovecot-2.0.0/src/auth/passdb-vpopmail.c:185: undefined reference to `vauth_load_module' Yes, it's an RPM, that's how I roll. I'm not finding vauth_load_module anywhere on my system.. I'm running vpopmail 5.4.30 which is, I believe the latest stable release..

[Dovecot] Using dovecot with vpopmail and mysql auth?
by Aaron Greengrass 18 Aug '10

18 Aug '10

Hi, Does anyone happen to know the right strings to do authentication against mysql storing vpopmail data, vs using the vpopmail auth module? I'm trying to get up to both vpopmail 5.5, and dovecot 2.0, and dovecot-auth seems to reliably segfault on the 5.5 vpopmail module. I've tried downgrading vpopmail as well, with less than stellar results. I saw an old article about doing exactly that -- switching from the vpop module, while still using it's DB, but it is both a) old, and b) confusing. Any help you can offer -- or urls in a pinch -- would be appreciated.

[Dovecot] Very complex Master User Examples using MySQL
by Marc Perkel 17 Aug '10

17 Aug '10

For those who are interested I have posted in the Wiki examples of using master users in very interesting ways. In these example we will create 3 kinds of master users. The first will be users who can read all email for all domains. The next example will be users who can read all email for their domain only. The third example will be users who can read email of domains listed in a separate ownership table. http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/MasterUsers Go to Advanced SQL Examples at bottom Let me know what you think. In order to actually make this work you'll have to apply this patch Timo just posted: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.0/rev/3ba227176cde

[Dovecot] dovecot 2.0 convert script
by Marc Perkel 17 Aug '10

17 Aug '10

Since my old config had this: protocols = imap imaps pop3 pop3s ssl_cert_file = /usr/share/ssl/certs/imapd.pem ssl_key_file = /usr/share/ssl/certs/imapd.pem then the convert script should have added ssl = yes Just trying to document all the little issues as I find them.

[Dovecot] Tricky Master User Query - need MySQL help
by Marc Perkel 17 Aug '10

17 Aug '10

OK - I want to do something very tricky with master users and if I get it to work I'm adding it to the wiki for everyone to use. So far I have a MySQL database that servers multiple domains. I can set a flag making someone a domain owner that allows that person to become master of that domain. Here's the query for that. password_query = SELECT user_name, domain_name, password FROM users WHERE user_name = '%n' AND domain_name = '%d' AND owns_domain='1' AND '%d'='%{login_domain}' So - here's where we get tricky. I have another table called "ownership" where I have 2 fields which is a pairing of email addresses (login_id) and domains owned (owned_object). Data might look like this: joe(a)blow.com domain1.com joe(a)blow.com domain2.com Since joe(a)blow.com owns both domain1.com and domain2.com I want him to be able to log in as anyone in those 2 domains as a master user. Examples: tom@domain1.com*joe@blow.com harry@domain2.com*joe@blow.com So the idea is to create a MySQL query so that if the master user matches the domain part of the login user then it returns true and allows the login. What MySQL query will do that?
