[Dovecot] dovecot 1.0.10
by Tim Judd 18 Feb '08

18 Feb '08

Hi everyone, I'm trying to get dovecot to authenticate against LDAP. And it's a first time to run both dovecot (at all) and OpenLDAP (at all). Versions are below. Dovecot: 1.0.10 OpenLDAP 2.3.40 Dovecot cannot bind to the dn. This may be due to the fact that all google-able documentation doesn't give good examples or anyhting to hint. I'd prefer to use the rootdn by slapd.conf, but if I have to use a entry in the LDAP database, I will do that. I've tried the rootdn, password, overriding password with the same hash as in the slapd.conf via {SSHA} and nothing works. I then tried to create a uid (and dn) within the LDAP database, and it can't bind to that either. Long story short, I would very much appreciate a working example with OpenLDAP v2.3x and Dovecot 1.0x, on a FreeBSD 6.x host. If it makes any difference (I don't think it does), the mailserver is going to be located within a jail, which has given some problems to some software that are looking for a specific /dev entry or being able to customize that entry (permissions, links, etc). Thank you all for excellent software, and I really hope I can get this working. I'd like to point the finger at dovecot not being able to read userPassword but since no debugging information can be extracted, I have to assume. A working example as I have asked for above would probably help me alot. thanks! --Tim If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door. "I can" is a way of life. More and Bigger is not always Better.

[Dovecot] ldaps support in dovecot-ldap.conf?
by Tim Tyler 18 Feb '08

18 Feb '08

Dovecot experts, Does Dovecot support ldaps:\\ connections in dovecot-ldap.conf for ldap connections? I can get regular ldap:\\connections to work, but not ldaps:\\ connections. I have even downloaded the latest beta version of dovecot and it still doesn't work. If its not supported, will it be in the near future? Note: We are using Centos 5 and Redhat 5 systems.

[Dovecot] PAM libraries not found
by Jan van den Berg 18 Feb '08

18 Feb '08

When I add the --with-pam option in my configure command I get the following error: checking for pam_start in -lpam... no configure: error: Can't build with PAM support: libpam not found PAM is most certainly installed on the machine: ii libpam-modules 0.79-5 Pluggable Authentication Modules for PAM ii libpam-runtime 0.79-5 Runtime support for the PAM library ii libpam0g 0.79-5 Pluggable Authentication Modules library Dovecot from package worked just fine with PAM. Also this file already exists: cat /etc/pam.d/dovecot #%PAM-1.0 @include common-auth @include common-account @include common-session I have run ldconfig etc. And I have the following files (all in /lib): /lib/libpamc.so.0 /lib/libpamc.so.0.79 /lib/libpam_misc.so.0 /lib/libpam_misc.so.0.79 /lib/libpam.so.0 /lib/libpam.so.0.79 So it seems that configure is not checking the right places for the libpam library? How can I tell it to look in /lib? Also what does (auto) mean (--with-pam (auto)): it's confusing. It gives the impression that, like (default), this option is added 'automatically'. Cheers, Jan

[Dovecot] stat failed: Not a directory
by Andrea 17 Feb '08

17 Feb '08

I have recently installed dovecot on a FreeBSD mailserver running postfix. But when I try to login with imap/pop3, I always get an error "stat failed: Not a directory". I guess it is something wrong with the mail format postfix uses to store the message, but I don't seem to find the correct solution. Here's the postfix log with the successful delivery: Feb 17 08:58:24 mailsrv2 postfix/smtpd[75706]: connect from pc17r2.domain.com[10.0.1.17] Feb 17 08:59:07 mailsrv2 postfix/smtpd[75706]: 290F1B81D: client= pc17r2.domain.com[10.0.1.17] Feb 17 08:59:20 mailsrv2 postfix/cleanup[75710]: 290F1B81D: message-id=<20080217075907.290F1B81D(a)mailsrv2.domain.com> Feb 17 08:59:20 mailsrv2 postfix/qmgr[75703]: 290F1B81D: from=<andrea(a)vp44.net>, size=384, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Feb 17 08:59:21 mailsrv2 postfix/virtual[75711]: 290F1B81D: to=<andrea(a)internal.domain.com>, relay=virtual, delay=39, delays=39/0.26/0/0.24, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered to mailbox) Feb 17 08:59:21 mailsrv2 postfix/qmgr[75703]: 290F1B81D: removed And here dovecot: Feb 17 09:00:24 mailsrv2 dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<andrea(a)internal.domain.com>, method=PLAIN, rip=10.0.1.2, lip=10.0.1.17 Feb 17 09:00:24 mailsrv2 dovecot: IMAP(andrea(a)internal.domain.com): stat(/usr/local/virtual/internal.domain.com/andrea/cur) failed: Not a directory Feb 17 09:00:24 mailsrv2 dovecot: IMAP(andrea(a)internal.domain.com): stat(/usr/local/virtual/internal.domain.com/andrea/cur) failed: Not a directory Feb 17 09:00:24 mailsrv2 dovecot: IMAP(andrea(a)internal.domain.com): Connection closed Dovecot -n: #

[Dovecot] --without-linux-quota
by Heiko Schlichting 17 Feb '08

17 Feb '08

Hi, compiling dovecot 1.1.beta16 with configure option "--without-linux-quota" failed in line 444 of quota-fs.c as _LINUX_QUOTA_VERSION is an unquoted "no". Additionally using "--without-linux-quota" does not remove the quota code from dovecot as I expected. This is not a problem to me but it would be more clear if configure failed if "--without-linux-quota" is used and it is not possible to strip the quota code from dovecot. I know that I can use "--with-linux-quota=..." to specify a quota version but for me this option implied that it is possible to remove the filesystem quota code entirely if it is not needed.

[Dovecot] Dovecot pgsqlauthentication database reconnection/failover problem
by Frank Wang 17 Feb '08

17 Feb '08

Hi, Our mail system uses dovecot-1.0-1.2.rc15.el5 in Centos-5.1 as our imap server. It connects to a pgsql database in another server as authentication backend. It works fine except occasionally fails to reconnect to the database after temporary network block, and dovecot has to be restarted to work again in such case. Since I can't find any specific setting in dovecot.conf to handle this reconnection problem, I opt to build a failover pgsql backend. Google led me to http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2008-January/027899.html. I followed the thread to modify my dovecot-sql.conf containing "connect = host=pgsql1 host=pgsql2 dbname=xxxx user=xxxx" If both databases are available, dovecot will choose pgsql2 as the default one, and user login works flawlessly. But when I block all traffic to host pgsql2, dovecot will repeatedly try pgsql2 and neglect available host pgsql1. I don't find relevent information in the dovecot wiki either. Can anyone here shed a light on me? Thanks in advance! Regards, Frank Wang
