[Dovecot] problem with POP3 mail location when using namespaces
by Lutz Preßler 28 Mar '07

28 Mar '07

Hello, I have a problem (at least with 1.0rc28 and 1.0rc27) when using the following namespace definitions: namespace private { separator = "/" inbox = yes location = mbox:~/Mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u } namespace public { separator = / prefix = 0-LISTS/ location = mbox:/var/mail/lists:INDEX=~/.sharedMail/lists/index } namespace private { separator = "/" prefix = "0-MAILDIR-FOLDERS/" location = maildir:~/Maildir } IMAP access is working as expected, but when connecting with POP3(s), the (mostly empty in our case) ~/Maildir is used as mail location when it has been created (including index files) by IMAP access. If ~/Maildir does not exist/has been deleted again, POP3 uses /var/spool/mail/%u. This is independent of the private namespace section order and also an explicit "inbox = no" in 0-MAILDIR-FOLDERS namespace. Any idea if this is an configuration issue I don't understand yet or a bug?

[Dovecot] Allow/disallow mail access based on group membership
by Taras Savchuk 28 Mar '07

28 Mar '07

I'm just finished FreeBSD/AD integration via Kerberos/LDAP and now I can manage unix users/groups from AD. I want to grant access to IMAP based on user membership in certain group. Is it possible? Can you give me some hints? Thanks in advance! -- С уважением, Савчук Тарас ООО "Элантек" : Аутсорсинг ИТ, WEB-разработка http://www.elantech.ru +7 (495) 589 68 81 +7 (926) 575 22 11

[Dovecot] LDAP group quota support
by Ioannis Zachariadis 28 Mar '07

28 Mar '07

Is there a plan to support LDAP group quotas in the future releases ? Just like the ldap quota plugin for users but with additional support for a unified quota for a group users. -- giannis.

[Dovecot] Building problem on FreeBSD with GSSAPI

[Dovecot] proxy host specified as fqdn in userdb
by Apostolos Papayanakis 28 Mar '07

28 Mar '07

Abstract from http://wiki.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase/ExtraFields/Proxy > > host=s: The destination server's *IP address*. This field is required. > Note that currently it's required to use an IP address since no DNS > resolving is done. > Hello Timo, Here goes one more item for the v2.0 wishlist: Will it become possible to do dovecot imap proxying based on a "host" userdb attribute that is an FQDN (instead of a numeric IP as it is now)? It would simplify things for large smtp clusters that already do LDAP mail routing, based on per user "mailHost" attribute containg mail server FQDNs (according to "IETF Internet Draft LDAP Schema for Intranet Mail Routing", http://www.sendmail.org/m4/laser.txt) It is kinda redundunt to keep an extra LDAP attribute for "host" that contains essentially the same information as "mailHost" attribute, but in numeric form. I know the proposed change is not that important for many people, so don't really bother unless it is trivial to implement. apap

[Dovecot] rc2x seems to break Pegasus Mail
by Rick Romero 28 Mar '07

28 Mar '07

Hi guys, I upgraded from rc7 to rc24 a couple weeks ago, and noticed today that Pegasus Mail's IMAP no longer connects. So I put rc27 in, and it worked, but only for a little while... I'm not sure what the problem might be, the logs look fine, and I can still use Horde and Evolution without a problem. Pegasus Mail's error is unfortunately not helpful. Restarting rc27 didn't 'bring it back' for Pegasus. I turned on debugging, but I don't know what to look for because other clients work :/ dovecot: Mar 22 09:55:58 Info: imap-login: Login: user=<rick>, method=PLAIN, rip=172.16.100.20, lip=172.16.100.10, TLS dovecot: Mar 22 09:55:58 Info: IMAP(rick): Loading modules from directory: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap dovecot: Mar 22 09:55:58 Info: IMAP(rick): Module loaded: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap/lib10_quota_plugin.so dovecot: Mar 22 09:55:58 Info: IMAP(rick): Module loaded: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap/lib11_imap_quota_plugin.so dovecot: Mar 22 09:55:58 Info: IMAP(rick): Effective uid=89, gid=89, home=/usr/home/vpopmail/domains/havokmon.com/rick dovecot: Mar 22 09:55:58 Info: IMAP(rick): Namespace: type=private, prefix=INBOX., sep=., inbox=yes, hidden=no, subscriptions=no dovecot: Mar 22 09:55:58 Info: IMAP(rick): maildir: root exists (/usr/home/vpopmail/domains/havokmon.com/rick/Maildir) dovecot: Mar 22 09:55:58 Info: IMAP(rick): maildir: root=/usr/home/vpopmail/domains/havokmon.com/rick/Maildir, index=/usr/home/vpopmail/domains/havokmon.com/rick/Maildir, control=, inbox= dovecot: Mar 22 09:56:03 Info: imap-login: Login: user=<rick>, method=PLAIN, rip=172.16.100.20, lip=172.16.100.10, TLS dovecot: Mar 22 09:56:03 Info: IMAP(rick): Loading modules from directory: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap dovecot: Mar 22 09:56:03 Info: IMAP(rick): Module loaded: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap/lib10_quota_plugin.so dovecot: Mar 22 09:56:03 Info: IMAP(rick): Module loaded: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap/lib11_imap_quota_plugin.so dovecot: Mar 22 09:56:03 Info: IMAP(rick): Effective uid=89, gid=89, home=/usr/home/vpopmail/domains/havokmon.com/rick dovecot: Mar 22 09:56:03 Info: IMAP(rick): Namespace: type=private, prefix=INBOX., sep=., inbox=yes, hidden=no, subscriptions=no dovecot: Mar 22 09:56:03 Info: IMAP(rick): maildir: root exists (/usr/home/vpopmail/domains/havokmon.com/rick/Maildir) dovecot: Mar 22 09:56:03 Info: IMAP(rick): maildir: root=/usr/home/vpopmail/domains/havokmon.com/rick/Maildir, index=/usr/home/vpopmail/domains/havokmon.com/rick/Maildir, control=, inbox= dovecot: Mar 22 09:56:03 Info: IMAP(rick): Disconnected: Logged out Config: base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/ protocols = imap imaps listen = * disable_plaintext_auth = no shutdown_clients = yes log_path = /var/log/dovecot/dovecot.log info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot/dovecot_info.log log_timestamp = "%b %d %H:%M:%S " ssl_cert_file = /usr/local/share/courier-imap/mail-vfemail-godaddy.crt ssl_key_file = /usr/local/share/courier-imap/mail-vfemail-godaddy.key ssl_key_password = verbose_ssl = no login_dir = /var/run/dovecot/login login_user = nobody login_process_size = 64 login_process_per_connection = yes login_processes_count = 15 login_max_processes_count = 512 login_greeting = VFEmail IMAP Dovecot ready. namespace private { separator = . prefix = INBOX. inbox = yes } mail_debug = no mmap_disable = yes verbose_proctitle = yes first_valid_uid = 89 last_valid_uid = 0 protocol imap { mail_plugins = quota imap_quota imap_client_workarounds = outlook-idle } protocol pop3 { } protocol lda { postmaster_address = admin(a)vfemail.net } auth_verbose = no auth_debug = no auth default { mechanisms = plain passdb checkpassword { args = /usr/local/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw } userdb prefetch { } user = vpopmail } dict { } plugin { quota = maildir } I compiled both rc2x's with just ./configure Install prefix ...................... : /usr/local File offsets ........................ : 64bit I/O loop method ..................... : poll File change notification method ..... : none Building with SSL support ........... : yes (OpenSSL) Building with IPv6 support .......... : yes Building with pop3 server ........... : yes Building with mail delivery agent .. : yes Building with GSSAPI support ........ : no Building with user database modules . : static prefetch passwd passwd-file checkpassword vpopmail (modules) Building with password lookup modules : passwd passwd-file pam checkpassword vpopmail (modules) Building with SQL drivers ............: Though - for rc27, I had to disable vpopmail because it wouldn't build.

[Dovecot] rc29 and documentation changes
by Timo Sirainen 28 Mar '07

28 Mar '07

http://dovecot.org/nightly/dovecot-latest.tar.gz Any comments about the doc/wiki/ contents? doc/documentation.txt? dovecot-example.conf's doc/wiki/ pointers? ./autogen.sh now updates the wiki from http://www.dovecot.org/tmp/wiki-export.tar.gz (updated each night) if doc/wiki/Authentication.txt doesn't exist. I guess I'll release rc29 tomorrow. The current changes are: + Added auth_gssapi_hostname setting. - IMAP: LIST "" "" didn't return anything if there didn't exist a namespace with empty prefix. This broke some clients. - If Dovecot is tried to be started when it's already running, don't delete existing auth sockets and break the running Dovecot - If deliver failed too early it still returned exit code 89 instead of EX_TEMPFAIL. - deliver: INBOX fallbacking with -n parameter wasn't working. - passdb passwd and shadow couldn't be used as master or deny databases - IDLE: inotify didn't notice changes in mbox file - If index file directory couldn't be created, disable indexes instead of failing to open the mailbox. - Several other minor fixes

[Dovecot] MANAGESIEVE patch v3 for dovecot 1.0.rc28
by Stephan Bosch 28 Mar '07

28 Mar '07

Hello dovecot users, I have updated the MANAGESIEVE patch to apply and compile against dovecot 1.0.rc28. Not much has changed with respect to the functionality of the previous version however: ChangeLog vs v2 - Updated source to compile with dovecot 1.0.rc28, tested with rc27 (debian package) - Daemon now uses the same location for .dovecot.sieve as dovecot-lda This is typically ~/.dovecot.sieve. - If .dovecot.sieve is a regular file, it is now moved into the script storage as dovecot.orig.sieve, preventing deletion of (important) active scripts upon managesieve installation. Otherwise, it would simply be replaced by a symlink to the new active script. - Changed error handling to yield a BYE message when the managesieve daemon exits unexpectedly (upon login) before any commands are entered. Horde-ingo would wait indefinitely for a response. This patch still includes (yet another) instance of the CMU Sieve source, as explained in my previous mail (http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2006-July/015016.html) It can be downloaded at: http://sinas.rename-it.nl/~sirius/dovecot-1.0.rc28-MANAGESIEVE-v3.diff.gz Have fun testing the patch. Notify me when there are problems. Regards, -- Stephan Bosch stephan(a)rename-it.nl IRC: Freenode, #dovecot, S[r]us

[Dovecot] gssapi auth issue...
by Dan Price 28 Mar '07

28 Mar '07

Hi all-- been away from the list for a few weeks so forgive me if this problem has been reported-- with the help of some of our Kerberos engineers, we tracked down why we can't authenticate our Solaris kerberos clients to Dovecot. Here's the deal: Our IT organization issued us kerberos tickets of the form imap(a)foobar.sfbay.sun.com Which I presume is their standard-- and probably not negotiable. However, the hostname of the machine is: "foobar", not foobar.sfbay.sun.com (as reported by gethostname(3c)). So when dovecot does this: mech-gssapi.c: principal_name = t_str_new(128); str_append(principal_name, service_name); str_append_c(principal_name, '@'); ---> str_append(principal_name, my_hostname); We wind up asking kerberos to look for a ticket for imap@foobar, instead of imap(a)foobar.sfbay.sun.com. Obviously we can patch the source, but I was wondering if we could have a gssapi_hostname setting in the config file? Or perhaps we could have a knob letting us globally override my_hostname? Although I don't know what side effects that could have. We have some new cores I also need to report-- I'll get on that. Thanks in advance, -dp -- Daniel Price - Solaris Kernel Engineering - dp(a)eng.sun.com - blogs.sun.com/dp

[Dovecot] Custom Mail Directory for some users
by Patrick Kranz 27 Mar '07

27 Mar '07

Hi list, I'm new on this mailing list and I'm kind of stucked at the moment. I managed to get Postfix and Dovecot working together with Amavis, OpenLDAP und SASL on Ubuntu Linux Release "Dapper Drake". The Dovecot version shipped with Dapper is 1.0-beta3 (at least, that's what the package database tells me), I also tried this with a Debian Backport of version 1.0-rc15. And here is my problem: A customer of mine needs usernames different from the mail address for his third party software to work. In other words, I need the ability to login with the username foo to get access to the mailbox bar(a)example.com. So I tried to override the mail_location property for this user with a separate mailDirectory attribute in my LDAP tree. Speaking in dovecot.conf words: mail_location = maildir:/var/spool/dovecot/mail/%d/%n auth default { machanisms = plain passdb ldap { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.com } userdb ldap { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.com } userdb static { args = uid=vmail gid=vmail user = dovecot } and dovecot-ldap.conf: hosts = localhost dn = cn=admin,dc=ekits,dc=de dnpass = secret auth_bind = yes ldap_version = 3 base = ou=mailsystem,dc=ekits,dc=de scope = subtree user_attrs = mailDirectory=mail user_filter = (&(objectClass=ekitsMailAccount)(uid=%u)) pass_attrs = uid=user,userPassword=password pass_filter = (&(objectClass=ekitsMailAccount)(uid=%u)) user_global_uid = vmail user_global_gid = vmail a typical ldap entry looks something like this: dn: cn=Patrick Kranz,o=EK IT-Solutions,ou=mailsystem,dc=ekits,dc=de ekitsMailDestination: patrick(a)ekits.de objectClass: ekitsMailAccount objectClass: top cn: Patrick Kranz structuralObjectClass: ekitsMailAccount entryUUID: b4ebb9e8-6d8d-102b-9dc9-9edb870845a4 creatorsName: cn=admin,dc=ekits,dc=de createTimestamp: 20070323132526Z userPassword:: YVBhc3M= mailDirectory: maildir:/var/spool/dovecot/mail/ekits.de/blubb uid: patrick As far as I can interpret the log of slapd, dovecot doesn't even ask for the attribute "mailDirectory". I also tried this with userdb prefetch. With this it did actually ask for the attribute but it still had no effect. With this configuration dovecot creates the directory /var/spool/spool/dovecot/mail/patrick if I login with the uid patrick but I wanted access to /var/spool/dovecot/mail/ekits.de/blubb If anybody has any clue what I did wrong or if I have a conceptional misunderstanding, I would appreciate every help. Thanks in advance. Greetings, Patrick
