Hi all I've been doing research but haven't found anything yet. Is there a doc to show how to get Dovecot to authenticate directly against active directory.

[Dovecot] Dovecot 1.0.beta9, emails disappearing?
by Martin Végiard 14 Sep '06

14 Sep '06

Hi, I've been using Dovecot successfully for a while and I've recently encountered an issue : I got to work today and half the emails, were deleted... and after careful investigation : - On Monday it seems, the emails magically vanished .. (what I've been told) - My backup from Tuesday morning at 3am, indicates that all the files (mailbox) are intact but the subscription file is missing half the entries. - At noon, on Tuesday, half the subscriptions are still missing and half the files now also missing. Any ideas, known issues, suggestions? Details : # dovecot --version 1.0.beta9 # uname -a NetBSD Z 3.0.1 NetBSD 3.0.1 (GENERIC.MPACPI) #0: Fri Aug 18 08:34:05 EDT 2006 m@Z:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC.MPACPI i386 the server in question is usually just idling away... and nothing abnormal in my logs thanks for your time, Martin

[Dovecot] Quota plugin API documentation ?
by Craig Huckabee 13 Sep '06

13 Sep '06

What is the best reference for the quota plugin API ? I have some code that can return the disk quota from AFS that I would like to add to the existing file system quota plugin (or perhaps create a new plugin) but I am having a hard time deciphering what each function should return and the data formats (e.g. kilobytes versus bytes). Any pointers are appreciated. --Craig

[Dovecot] MySQL Authentication
by Peter Fraser 12 Sep '06

12 Sep '06

Hi all I have this interesting issue. I installed dovecot on FreeBSD 6.1. The install went well. I'm trying to get it to use a mysql database that postfix is already using to authenticate. When I use this in dovecot.conf userdb mysql { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql.conf } passdb mysql { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql.conf } I get this error. auth(default): Unknown passdb driver 'mysql' (typo, or Dovecot was built without support for it? Check with dovecot --build-options) This is strange because I did compile it with mysql support. Any ideas here?

[Dovecot] TAB characters in subject header continuation/wrap lines
by Stephen Warren 12 Sep '06

12 Sep '06

I have some emails where the Subject line has been wrapped, and subsequent lines are indented with TAB characters. Specifically, here's a dump of a portion of an email: 0002020 C c : sp nl S u b j e c t : sp [ B 0002040 u i l d b o t ] sp B u i l d B o 0002060 t sp S U C C E S S nl ht ( B l d _ 0002100 g s s d k _ g s s d k _ t e s t 0002120 _ 2 0 0 6 _ 0 9 _ 1 2 _ 0 0 _ 0 0002140 1 _ 0 0 _ I n c r e m e n t a l 0002160 _ 2 ) nl X - B e e n T h e r e : Note the HT about half way through the third line. When I view this email using Thunderbird 1.5.0.5 on Windows XP, with Dovecot 1.0.rc7 running on CentOS 4.3, this TAB character shows up as a funny character in the subject line, as displayed by the Thunderbird. My question is: Should Dovecot be detecting mail header continuation lines that start with a TAB, and stripping the TAB (converting to a space)? I *think* that's what the RFCs implied when I read up on this a few months ago, but I may easily be mis-remembering. A second somewhat off-topic question: When the automated system that sends out these messages sends them to me directly, this problem does not occur, because the email titles are not wrapped. However, when I receive these emails via a mailman mailing list, mailman prepends the text "[Buildbot]" on the front of the title, thus making the title long enough to require wrapping. As such, I imagine that it's mailman that is indenting the Subject continuation line with the TAB character. Is there an issue in mailman - should mailman be indenting with e.g. a SPACE character, or is mailman's action perfectly legal? Thanks for any pointers.

[Dovecot] Using pgsql with 'cram-md5 auth' and 'hmac-md5 scheme'
by Jonathan Ballet 12 Sep '06

12 Sep '06

Hello, I want to use PostgreSQL to store my Dovecot users. I setup a very basic configuration, following word for word this page http://wiki.dovecot.org/DovecotPostgresql and it works ... almost. In fact, it works if I use PLAIN password scheme in my database. However, I would like to store them encrypted. But, if I replace the password field for my user with {HMAC-MD5}-... (the password generated by dovecotpw), it doesn't work. Here is the log, using PLAIN password scheme (all debug options activated) : =================================================== auth(default): client in: AUTH 1 CRAM-MD5 service=IMAP secured lip=127.0.0.1 rip=127.0.0.1 auth(default): client out: CONT 1 PDU3NTgxMTE5MTcwMTYzNjguMTE1ODAxMTQzN0BkZWI2ND4= auth(default): client in: CONT 1 am9uIDJjN2RmMDVmZWZiNWU4MmE0MzFkMjM2YThhYzc2MDAx auth(default): sql(jon,127.0.0.1): query: SELECT userid as user, password FROM users WHERE userid = 'jon' auth(default): password(jon,127.0.0.1): Credentials: 3fd9989457cb3edf1fb8d31dddaf11f3f0efee3423aeb9ebf9bbe981f86a079b auth(default): client out: OK 1 user=jon auth(default): master in: REQUEST 1 23748 1 auth(default): sql(jon,127.0.0.1): SELECT home, uid, gid FROM users WHERE userid = 'jon' auth(default): master out: USER 1 jon home=/var/mail/jon/ uid=5000 gid=5000 IMAP(jon): Effective uid=5000, gid=5000 IMAP(jon): maildir: data=/var/mail/jon IMAP(jon): maildir:root=/var/mail/jon, index=/var/mail/jon, control=, inbox= imap-login: Login: user=<jon>, method=CRAM-MD5, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured IMAP(jon): Disconnected: Logged out And here is the log, using HMAC-MD5 password scheme (all debug options activated too) : ===================================================== auth(default): client in: AUTH 1 CRAM-MD5 service=IMAP secured lip=127.0.0.1 rip=127.0.0.1 auth(default): client out: CONT 1 PDI0MDc4NTQzMDc5NjU2NTIuMTE1ODAxMTkxNUBkZWI2ND4= auth(default): client in: CONT 1 am9uIDViNmE4NDI5ZjUzZTQ3YTEzZmEzNjhiOThlYjI5OTFi auth(default): sql(jon,127.0.0.1): query: SELECT userid as user, password FROM users WHERE userid = 'jon' auth(default): password(jon,127.0.0.1): Credentials: auth(default): cram-md5(jon,127.0.0.1): password mismatch auth(default): client out: FAIL 1 user=jon imap-login: Disconnected: user=<jon>, method=CRAM-MD5, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured The login + password used for those tests are 'jon'/'jonpwd'. In the second example, I didn't get any Credentials, whereas in the first case (PLAIN scheme), the Credentials output correspond to the 'dovecotpw' generated password (as in `dovecotpw -s HMAC-MD5 -p jonpwd`). I don't know if it's normal or not. So, I'm not sure what to do next :/ I use this kind of 'auth mechanism'/'password scheme' on another computer, with passwd-like files, and it works. So, I don't know why the same data, coming from another location, doesn't work. Any help would be greatly appreciated ! Thanks, -- Jonathan
