[Dovecot] Question regarding bounce messages on quota full.
by Mustafa A. Hashmi 14 Nov '06

14 Nov '06

Hi all, Using dovecot's LDA (debian backports package: 1.0rc2), users who have exceeded their quota when receiving messages see the message get bounced. This works fine for us, however, the sender is sent a message as follows: -- Start bounce text ERROR This is the Postfix program at host foo.domain.com I'm sorry to have to inform you that your message could not be be delivered to one or more recipients. It's attached below. For further assistance, please send mail to <postmaster> If you do so, please include this problem report. You can delete your own text from the attached returned message. The Postfix program <user(a)foo.domain.com>: Command died with status 11: "/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver" -- End bounce text Is it not possible to specify something a bit more civil for the sender? a "User is over quota" message works much better here. We're already running a script which notifies users when they approach a certain specified % that they're about to exceed quota, however, hoping they all comply is another thing entirely. Any assistance would be much appreciated. Regards, -- Mustafa A. Hashmi mahashmi(a)gmail.com mh(a)stderr.net

[Dovecot] NTLM authentication from Outlook
by Lars Skovgaard 14 Nov '06

14 Nov '06

Hi all I've enabled ntlm authentication in dovecot, and use dovecot sasl in postfix as well. Authentication with ntlm works well from Mac OS X Mail.app, as well as from Outlook Express, but fails with Outlook. Strangely enough, ntml authentication works in Outlook when using smtp (via postfix), but neither from imap or pop3 (both dovecot). As dovecot sasl handles all authentication against a mysql userdb, this strikes me as very strange. I've instructed my clients with Outlook to fetch mail using a ssl- encrypted connection, and to send using ntlm-authentication. This works, but I would like to have ntlm available as an option to all my clients, without forcing them to change mail-clients. I've turned on auth_verbose, auth_debug and auth_debug_passwords, and compared the passwordstring with the one calculated using dovecotpw, and they match. The only odd thing is that the username is returned from Outlook as an all-caps string, so user(a)domain.tld becomes USER(a)DOMAIN.TLD. I don't know if it matters, but I don't think so, as changing the user-login to an all-caps version doesn't solve the problem. Any hints will be most welcome. /Lars

[Dovecot] MacOS X and quota-plugin
by Lars Skovgaard 13 Nov '06

13 Nov '06

Hi all, I've installed dovecot 1.0 rc12 on a MacOS X client system with only a handful of users – all virtual – and would like to enable quotas. I've tried searching the wiki for information on how to do this, but haven't been able to find anything – which is why I turn to the list in hope there's someone out there who can point me in the right direction. I've compiled dovecot without any other authentication than sql and pam, and have enabled ssl, pop3 and dovecot lda (for use with postfix when I get around to it). The installation went smoothly, and dovecot is working great without quota-support. However, when I enable quota- support, the imap child-process crashes. Here's a few lines from the log, slightly altered to protect user-identities: Nov 8 23:05:09 SD-Server dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<imapuser>, method=PLAIN, rip=192.168.2.10, lip=192.168.2.2, TLS Nov 8 23:05:09 SD-Server dovecot: child 22662 (imap) killed with signal 11 Nov 8 23:05:09 SD-Server crashdump[22663]: imap crashed Nov 8 23:05:09 SD-Server crashdump[22663]: crash report written to: / Library/Logs/CrashReporter/imap.crash.log Nov 8 23:05:12 SD-Server dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=< imapuser >, method=PLAIN, rip=192.168.2.10, lip=192.168.2.2, TLS Nov 8 23:05:13 SD-Server dovecot: child 22665 (imap) killed with signal 11 Nov 8 23:05:13 SD-Server crashdump[22666]: imap crashed Nov 8 23:05:13 SD-Server crashdump[22666]: crash report written to: / Library/Logs/CrashReporter/imap.crash.log Nov 8 23:05:16 SD-Server dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=< imapuser >, method=PLAIN, rip=192.168.2.10, lip=192.168.2.2, TLS Nov 8 23:05:17 SD-Server dovecot: child 22670 (imap) killed with signal 11 Nov 8 23:05:17 SD-Server crashdump[22671]: imap crashed Nov 8 23:05:17 SD-Server crashdump[22671]: crash report written to: / Library/Logs/CrashReporter/imap.crash.log This is what I have done in dovecot.conf to enable quota: protocol imap { mail_plugins = quota imap_quota mail_plugin_dir = /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap } plugin { #quota = dict:storage=10240 #quota = dirsize:storage=10240 #quota = maildir:storage=10240 #quota = maildir:storage=10240 mysql:/usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf #quota = fs:storage=10240 #quota = fs } As you might guess from the lines under "plugin", I've tried a lot of different combinations. If I enable ANY of the above lines under plugin, the child-processes die upon login. When all have been commented out, there's no more crashing – until I try to see how much space is available, then it crashes again. I've tried adding an extra "quota" field to my mysql userdb to handle quotas, but with the same result. mysql-query looks like this (as described in the wiki): user_query = SELECT home, uid, gid, 'dirsize:storage=' || quota_kb AS quota FROM users WHERE userid = '%u' As with the settings in dovecot.conf, Ive tried various combinations of dict, dirsize and so on, but without any luck. This is what the entries in my crashdump file looks like: Host Name: SD-Server Date/Time: 2006-11-09 00:06:17.151 +0100 OS Version: 10.4.7 (Build 8J135) Report Version: 4 Command: imap Path: /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap Parent: dovecot [8370] Version: ???

my_strncasecmp ignores the length parameter, which breaks all sorts of things on platforms where the function actually gets used. Trivial patch attached. -- Ben Winslow <rain(a)bluecherry.net>

Procmail writes to the folders, but it uses dotlocks, and I don't have logs of it crashing, whereas I do have logs of dovecot crashing :) I'm confused as to what the last sentence says, do you mean that you were able to reproduce the crash?

[Dovecot] 1.0.rc11 released
by Timo Sirainen 12 Nov '06

12 Nov '06

http://dovecot.org/releases/dovecot-1.0.rc11.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/dovecot-1.0.rc11.tar.gz.sig Hopefully the last RC release? As far as I know there are no major problems left now. If nothing big shows up, v1.0 should be out in a couple of weeks. * Renamed default_mail_env to mail_location. default_mail_env still works for backwards compatibility. * deliver: When sending rejects, don't include Content-Type in the rejected mail's headers. * LDAP changes: * If auth binds are used, bind back to the default dn before doing a search. Otherwise it could fail if a user gave an invalid password. * Initial binding at connect is now done asynchronously. * Use pass_attrs even with auth_bind=yes since it may contain useful non-password fields. + passdb checkpassword: Give TCPLOCALIP and TCPREMOTEIP and PROTO=TCP environments to the checkpassword binary so we're UCSPI (and vchkpw) compatible. - mbox handling was a bit broken in rc10 - Using Dovecot via inetd kept crashing dovecot master - deliver: Don't crash with -f "". Changed the default from envelope to be "MAILER-DAEMON". - INBOX wasn't shown with LSUB command if only prefixed namespaces were used. - passdb ldap: Reconnecting to LDAP server wasn't working with auth binds. - passdb sql: Non-plaintext authentication didn't work - MySQL passdb ignored all non-password checks, such as allow_nets - trash plugin was broken
