[Dovecot] dovecot with vpopmail
by nq525＠singnet.com.sg 05 Oct '06

I have been using bincimap with vpopmail for awhile and would like to give dovecot a try. Does anyone has any success configuring dovecot with vpopmail? I have installed dovecot but didn't manage to get it up with vpopmail. It will be good if someone can share their settings on dovecot.conf with me. Thanks

[Dovecot] Can't load certificate file: cert already in hash table
by Peter Abrahamsen 05 Oct '06

05 Oct '06

Hi, I've searched for this error and found nothing. When I switch on SSL, I get the following errors: >>> Oct 3 20:05:23 [dovecot] Dovecot v1.0.rc7 starting up Oct 3 20:05:24 [dovecot] Login process died too early - shutting down Oct 3 20:05:24 [dovecot] imap-login: Can't load certificate file /etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.crt: error:0B07C065:x509 certificate routines:X509_STORE_add_cert:cert already in hash table Oct 3 20:05:24 [dovecot] pop3-login: Can't load certificate file /etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.crt: error:0B07C065:x509 certificate routines:X509_STORE_add_cert:cert already in hash table - Last output repeated twice - Oct 3 20:05:24 [dovecot] child 13344 (login) returned error 89 Oct 3 20:05:24 [dovecot] child 13345 (login) returned error 89 Oct 3 20:05:24 [dovecot] child 13346 (login) returned error 89 Oct 3 20:05:24 [dovecot] child 13347 (login) returned error 89 <<< This is Gentoo on amd64 with openssl 0.9.8d. The cert and key were generated with tinyca and openssl 0.9.8c (I know, I know, it's upgrading now). I made 'em the same way I made my ldap and apache certs, which work fine. Any pointers? Also, why am I given a numeric error code? Thanks, Peter

[Dovecot] Whatever happened to rc8?
by Charles Marcus 04 Oct '06

It sounded like there was going to be one, so that some of the fixes that didn't make it into rc7 could be easily tested before releasing 1.0? -- Best regards, Charles

[Dovecot] No inbox for user error
by Ron 04 Oct '06

04 Oct '06

Hi, I'm getting 'no inbox for user' error. Set up sendmail, and can send and receive mail using Webmin/Usermin both to internal addresses and external ones. But Dovecot gives the no inbox error. I've tried telnetting in and get: +OK dovecot ready. USER myob -ERR Unknown command USER myob +UK PASS <password> +OK Logged in. -ERR No INBOX for user. No idea why the first USER command gives an error. And, of course, when I try using Evolution I get 'Cannot get POP summary'. The Dovecot config file, less all the commented out bits is: imap_listen = [::] pop3_listen = [::] imaps_listen = [::] pop3s_listen = [::] ssl_cert_file = /etc/pki/dovecot/dovecot.pem ssl_key_file = /etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem login_dir = /var/run/dovecot-login login_chroot = yes login = imap login_user = dovecot login = pop3 default_mail_env = mbox_locks = fcntl auth = default auth_mechanisms = plain auth_userdb = passwd auth_passdb = pam auth_user = root Any and all ideas very welcome. I'm a total newbie at this server business... Thanks in advance. Ron

Re: [Dovecot] Errors while doing make on Solaris 9 for dovecot-1.0.rc7

Thanks. make AR=ar works -----Original Message----- From: Timo Sirainen [mailto:tss@iki.fi] Sent: Monday, September 25, 2006 1:18 PM To: Agarwal, Lalit Cc: dovecot(a)dovecot.org Subject: Re: [Dovecot] Errors while doing make on Solaris 9 for dovecot-1.0.rc7 On 25.9.2006, at 16.41, Agarwal, Lalit wrote: > rm -f liblib.a > false cru configure has detected your "ar" binary to be "false", which really doesn't work. I'm not sure what the right way to fix this would be (see what config.log says about it), but one workaround at least would be if you ran make as: make AR=ar Of course if you don't have ar at all in the path, that's your problem. :) Looks like it exists in /usr/ccs/bin/.

[Dovecot] Dovecot as LDA
by Gerard Seibert 03 Oct '06

03 Oct '06

FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE-p8 postfix-current-2.4.20060903,3 dovecot-1.0.r7 I am experiencing a problem with dovecot as an LDA. It will not deliver mail unless the mail directory is chmod'd to 1777. Below is an example of the log file output. The dovecot.log file had over a hundred entries similar to this: deliver(gerard): Error: open(/var/mail/.temp.scorpio.seibercom.net.1123.cd38cd4d82e1368f) failed: Permission denied deliver(gerard): Error: file_lock_dotlock() failed with mbox file /var/mail/gerard: Permission denied Obviously the /var/log/maillog had similar fail warnings. By changing the permission to 1777 on the /var/mail directory and running postsuper -r ALL, I was able to get the mail delivered. What I am trying to determine is if I really should have those settings on the directory, or if I have something configured wrong in either postfix or dovecot. Postfix will deliver mail without any problem so I think it has to do with dovecot although I am not sure what. -- Gerard

[Dovecot] Quota with quota dict and peruser quota, dovecot LDA needed?
by Peter Veerman 03 Oct '06

03 Oct '06

Hi, This mail sources from the thread with this topic title: Re: [Dovecot] [SOLVED] quota with: postfixadmin, postfix, mysql & dovecot As this title does no longer cover the topic i decided to start a new thread. I have set up quota:dict with the proxy::quotadict option and i'm not using dovecot LDA. My quota table is filled with records like username: pveerman(a)nemo.kabelfoon.net path: 0 current: 0 and the personal max-quota reported by the client is okay, but the current-quota is 0. What am I doing wrong here? Peter

[Dovecot] Dovecot accepts squirrelmail, rejects fetchmail
by M. Fioretti 01 Oct '06

Hello, this is a follow-up to the thread "Fetchmail can't talk to dovecot" http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2006-September/016477.html Increasing the log level I get this in the log filed: Sep 30 15:04:19 fm dovecot: Dovecot v1.0.rc7 starting up Sep 30 15:04:22 fm dovecot: auth(default): passwd-file /etc/dovecot_user_file: Read 1 users Sep 30 15:05:05 fm dovecot: auth(default): client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=IMAPsecured +lip=::ffff:SERVER_IP_HERE rip=::ffff:CLient_IP_HERE resp=LONG_STRING_HERE VDBB Sep 30 15:05:05 fm dovecot: auth(default): passwd-file(user_name,::ffff:CLIENT_IP_HERE): unknown user Sep 30 15:05:07 fm dovecot: auth(default): client out: FAIL 1 user=user_name Sep 30 15:05:07 fm dovecot: imap-login: Aborted login: user=<user_name>, method=PLAIN, rip=::ffff:CLIENT_IP_HERE, +lip=::ffff:SERVER_IP_HERE, TLS Remember that when the same user name and password come from Squirrelmail on the same host where dovecot runs, everything works. Why does it fail with fetchmail? what does that message "unknown user" exactly mean? Thank you in advance for any help, Marco

[Dovecot] [SOLVED] quota with: postfixadmin, postfix, mysql & dovecot
by Peter Veerman 01 Oct '06

01 Oct '06

Hi, I'm quite new to dovecot but already quite satisfied. Your documentation in the wiki is great but on quota + mysql it is not very clear. Because of the previously mentioned I have got the following note to make which you will hopefully use to adjust your wiki documentation on per-user-quota + mysql. I've searched your mail archive as good as possible and found no messages on this. If already messages have been exactly on this topic I want to apologize for sending this one. The notes I want to make is about this page: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Quota I'm using postfix + postfixadmin & mysql and dovecot (previously I used courier-imap instead of dovecot). The problems I ran in to was with setting up the per-user quota, as the explanation at the wiki is quite vague. For instance, the dict plugin is used to keep the quota counters in the mysql backend but only one single line shows how to set-up a per user quota. Setting up a per user quota where the max-quota is stored in mysql should be made making use of this setting: ========== user_query = SELECT home, uid, gid, 'dirsize:storage=' || quota_bytes AS quota FROM users WHERE userid = '%u' ========== nowhere is mentioned that this should also! be set: =========== protocol imap { mail_plugins = quota imap_quota } protocol pop3 { mail_plugins = quota } =========== the second point I want to make is that the mysqlquery is incorrect as || does not do the job of joining the two strings. Secondly is dovecot making use of kilobytes instead of bytes like postfix (and postfixadmin) does. For this I have found the following solution: ========== user_query = SELECT maildir, 125 AS uid, 125 AS gid,\ CONCAT('dirsize:storage=', ROUND( mailbox.quota / 1024 ) ) AS quota \ FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active = '1' ========== Here I select the quota field from the mailbox table. This is then divided by 1024 (1Kbyte) and ROUNDED off in order to get rid of the .00 that results from this division. Greetz, Peter Veerman pveerman NO-SPAM at NO-SPAM hackwerk DOT net
