[Dovecot] Dovecot/LDAP problem
by Burton Simmons 19 May '06

19 May '06

Dear Dovecot mailing list people - What I'm trying to do is use Postfix (with virtual users) and a POP3 server (we don't want IMAP - don't ask) to work against our new Active Directory servers that will be coming soon. Before we roll anything out we're testing it in the lab. Here's what we've got: x86 server running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Postfix 2.0.16 Dovecot-1.0 Beta7 Windows 2003 server running Active Directory Windows XP client running Outlook Eventually, we'd like the clients to be joined to the AD domain and that's where we'll store ALL the user information. The email will come in on our postfix server (which uses virtual users) and the clients will check it passing their email username and domain password. The catch is that USERS CAN BE ANYWHERE IN THE DIRECTORY. (I apologize for the caps, I wanted to make sure that phrase wasn't glossed over.) So, for instance: > DC=local | >DC=domain | >OU=group1 | | | > CN=user1 | > CN=user2 | >OU=group2 | | | > CN=user3 | > CN=user4 | >OU=group3 | >CN=user5 The path to user1 is therefore CN=user1,OU=group1,DC=domain,DC=local (at least in the AD world.) The path to user3 is CN=user3,OU=group2,DC=domain,DC=local. So to search for users I would think (because this is how Postfix does it) that I could have the search base as DC=domain,DC=local and then have scope = subtree. IT DOESN'T WORK. (Again, caps used for emphasis only.) Here's the meat of the dovecot-ldap.conf file I'm using: hosts = 192.168.x.x dn = cn=Administrator,cn=Users,DC=domain,DC=local dnpass = xxxxx auth_bind = yes ldap_version = 3 base = DC=domain,DC=local scope = subtree user_attrs = sAMAccountName,mail,,,, user_filter = (&(objectClass=organizationalPerson)(sAMAccountName=%u)) pass_filter = (&(objectClass=organizationalPerson)(sAMAccountName=%u)) user_global_uid = 44 user_global_gid = 44 --- Interestingly, if I simply point the base to the actual user's container, it works just fine. The idea works from Postfix, but from dovecot it doesn't actually seem to search the tree. --- Here's some of the output from the log files. dovecot: May 17 15:35:52 Info: auth(default): client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=POP3 lip= 192.168.0.199 rip=192.168.0.195 resp=AGp1c2VyAHBhc3N3b3Jk dovecot: May 17 15:35:52 Info: auth(default): ldap(user1, 192.168.0.195): bind search: base=DC=LAB,DC=local filter=(&(objectClass=organizationalPerson)(sAMAccountName=user1)) dovecot: May 17 15:36:52 Info: pop3-login: Disconnected: Inactivity: method=PLAIN, rip= 192.168.90.195, lip=192.168.90.199 dovecot: May 17 15:37:52 Info: auth(default): client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=POP3 lip=192.168.0.199 rip=192.168.0.195 resp=AGp1c2VyAHBhc3N3b3Jk dovecot: May 17 15:37:52 Info: auth(default): ldap(user1,192.168.0.195): bind search: base=DC=domain,DC=local filter=(&(objectClass=organizationalPerson)(sAMAccountName=user1)) dovecot: May 17 15:37:54 Info: auth(default): client out: OK 1 user=user1 dovecot: May 17 15:37:54 Info: auth(default): client out: OK 1 user=user1 dovecot: May 17 15:37:54 Info: auth(default): master in: REQUEST 1 25233 1 dovecot: May 17 15:37:54 Info: auth(default): ldap(user1,192.168.0.195): base=DC=LAB,DC=local scope=subtree filter=(&(objectClass=organizationalPerson)(sAMAccountName=user1)) fields=sAMAccountName,mail,,,, dovecot: May 17 15:38:52 Info: pop3-login: Disconnected: Inactivity: user=<user1>, method=PLAIN, rip=192.168.0.195, lip=192.168.0.199 Can anybody offer any insight?

[Dovecot] configure change for 1.0.beta8
by Tomi Vainio 19 May '06

19 May '06

Hi, I'm trying to compile dovecot under Solaris 10 with native Mysql support. Couple changes are needed before configure can detect and compile mysql support. Native Solaris Mysql is installed under /usr/sfw directory. Configure can't find libraries and when these are found -R runtime path is needed for linking. Also if library name is given before library path it can't find it. These changes are needed for configure script line 29533 for i in /usr /usr/local /usr/local/mysql /usr/sfw; do line 29548 LIBS="$LIBS -L$MYSQL_LIBDIR -R$MYSQL_LIBDIR" line 29559 LIBS="$LIBS -lmysqlclient" line 29770 SQL_LIBS="$SQL_LIBS -L$MYSQL_LIBDIR -R$MYSQL_LIBDIR" line 29780 LIBS="$LIBS -lmysqlclient" Tomppa

[Dovecot] Outlook Express / POP Problem?
by Marc Perkel 19 May '06

19 May '06

I have a new user who is using Outlook Express with POP and seems to be having a problem downloading messages with attachments. Watching the logs it starts to download and then disconnects. When I use squirrelmail which is IMAP it all looks good so it's not a corrupt mailbox. I'm running Beta8 and using MBOX files. The problem seems to be related to POP and/or Outlook. Has anyone run into this before?

RE: [Dovecot] Bug: maidirsize double counting moved messages

I don't think this is the correct fix below, but it did the trick in our environment when maildir_copy_with_hardlinks=yes. I think the real problem is that quota_default_alloc() is getting called twice. Once from somewhere in mail_storage_copy() -> maildir_copy() -> mailbox_save_init(), and a second time somewhere after that. src/lib-storage/index/maildir/maildir-copy.c @136 < if (mbox->storage->copy_with_hardlinks/* && < mail->box->storage == mbox->ibox.box.storage*/) { --- > if (mbox->storage->copy_with_hardlinks) {

[Dovecot] Building 1.0beta8 on Solaris
by Matthieu Herrb 18 May '06

18 May '06

The following patch is needed on Solaris, because <sys/stat.h> has a specific macro definition for struct stat. Without this patch the prototype for nfs_safe_stat() changes between the inclusion of nfs-workarounds.h and the definition of the function. -- Matthieu Herrb

[Dovecot] maildir-tags
by Marten Lehmann 18 May '06

18 May '06

Hello, I configured my MTA to store messages in maildirs with a tag "S=$message_size", so quota calculations can be done without stat()ing the message file. However, I have a lot old messages, than haven't been stored with this tag. Is it possible to configure dovecot so that it will rename each file adding this messagesize-tag if it is not found in a file already? You can find more on this at http://www.exim.org/exim-html-4.62/doc/html/spec_html/ch26.html#id2634917 Regards Marten

I am aware of the problem but I haven't had enough time lately to fix it. In the mean time if it bothers you, you can remove --with-ioloop=kqueue and use poll. The other kqueue option, --with-notify=kqueue, is independent of the first one and can still be used. -- Vaclav Haisman

[Dovecot] dovecot
by Oleg D. 17 May '06

The old version was 1.0b3 from freebsd ports and all works fine. When I have upgrade freebsd ports and install a new 1.0b8 I see this error. Before I have installed a new version I have "make deinstall" all 1.0b3 package. (dovecot.conf was old with "ssl_disable = yes") Later I have add --without-ssl in port's Makefile and compile dovecot without ssl. But I have all the same seen "pop3-login: BUG: SSL..." When I have set "ssl_disable = no" I saw another error: "Error: SSL support not compiled in but ssl_disable=no" TS> On Tue, 2006-05-16 at 01:29 +0400, Oleg D. wrote: >> Hi >> >> I used dovecot 1.0b3 without ssl (FreeBSD) >> I just upgrage dovecot to new 1.0b8 with the same config file >> and I have this error in log: >> pop3-login: BUG: SSL initialization parameters not given while they should have been >> >> p.s >> In my dovecot.conf I have option "ssl_disable = yes" TS> What was the old version you used?

[Dovecot] Horde/IMP setup
by Eric 16 May '06

16 May '06

does anyone else use Horde/IMP that can share their servers.php setup? I am getting weird behavior with IMP not showing my INBOX and sub folders, etc. and i am not sure if its an IMP issue or Dovecot. It was giving me problems yesterday, then it cleared up, but now its acting up again. mail clients like Thunderbird work fine tho. I am seeing this in the logs a lot: [Tue May 16 08:08:21 2006] [error] [client 67.133.211.52] PHP Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /usr/local/www/horde/imp/lib/IMP.php on line 1197, referer: https://mikestammer.com/horde/services/portal/sidebar.php Line 1197 looks like this: foreach ($_SESSION['imp']['namespace'] as $key => $val) { if (!empty($key) && (strpos($mailbox, $key) === 0)) { $cache[$key][$mailbox] = $val; return $val; } } Anyone have any tips or ideas?
