[Dovecot] HMAC-MD5 / HMAC-MD5-context
by Chris Laif 23 Aug '06

23 Aug '06

$ dovecotpw -p testpass {HMAC-MD5}fe8522268d91e485ccac8f36800e4fa6b10363e2a371cfa61731109b450906cd I wonder if the prefix 'HMAC-MD5' is the correct notation here. According to RFC2104 an HMAC is calculated as follows: H(K XOR opad, H(K XOR ipad, text)) where H is the cryptographic hash function (MD5 in this case). Therefore the result has to be a 128 bit string, which is obviously not the case in the above shown example. In addition, the input value 'text' is missing if you only have a password K. Maybe it would be better to use {HMAC-MD5-CONTEXT} or {HMAC-MD5-CTX} ? Chris

[Dovecot] Can't Start dovecot from inetd
by Joseph D. Wagner 23 Aug '06

23 Aug '06

This one has me stumped. After upgrading from dovecot-1.0-beta8 to dovecot-1.0-rc6, I can't start dovecot from /etc/rc.d/init.d/dovecot. I can start dovecot directly from the command line (/usr/sbin/dovecot). I can still use /etc/rc.d/init.d/dovecot to query the status of dovecot and shutdown dovecot, but I can't use it to start dovecot. It just says "FAILED". diff scan of the two different versions of the /etc/rc.d/init.d/dovecot file says they're identical. Ideas? Joseph D. Wagner

[Dovecot] Please help, cant compile with mysql support
by Greg Deputy 22 Aug '06

22 Aug '06

I've been going round and round with this, and its driving me nuts. Previously, dovecot was erroring out during make due to some MySQL library issues. I thought I had that fixed, but now the compiled version I'm getting says it doesn't have MySQL support. I just started over, and noticed that ./configure is saying: Install prefix ...................... : /usr/local File offsets ........................ : 64bit I/O loop method ..................... : poll File change notification method ..... : dnotify Building with SSL support ........... : no 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 sql (modules) Building with password lookup modules : passwd passwd-file shadow checkpassword sql (modules) Building with SQL drivers ............: I've tried running with: CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include/MySQL LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib ./configure --with-MySQL But same result. No MySQL support noted by ./configure. Any tips? Please help. Thanks.

[Dovecot] Dovecot 1.0rc7 quits without notice
by Chris Laif 22 Aug '06

22 Aug '06

Today I switched one of our servers from Courier (deployed 3-4y ago) to DCrc7. Everything seemed very nice (system load dropped significantly). Unfortunately after some time and ~8000 pop3-logins the main DC loop just quit without _any_ notice. Some pop3-login childs still showed up in the processlist, but the main listener on port 110 was gone. The above described scenario has been observed 2 times. Any suggestions are welcome.

[Dovecot] Filesystem Quota Enhancement Patch
by Scott Alter 22 Aug '06

22 Aug '06

I have just updated my patch that provides enhanced support for filesystem-based quotas in Dovecot. I provides 2 main features: * Support for group quotas * Number of messages quota for users of maildir If both user and group quotas are enabled on the filesystem, the plugin will report the quota that is closer to the maximum independently for both storage space and message count. The message count quota comes from the filesystem inode quota. This patch has been tested on Fedora Core only, but it should work on all other OSes. The only exception is there is no group support on Solaris (I believe this is a limitation of Sun's implementation of filesystem-based quotas). I believe this patch make Dovecot's filesystem-based quota support complete. So, after a little bit of testing, it would be nice to have this merged with the main distribution. Scott Alter
