[Dovecot] [PATCH] change old style SASL discovery code
by Andrey Panin 07 Oct '04

07 Oct '04

Hello, this patch reworks old-style SASL discovery code. With this patch applied it advertises all configured SASL mechanisms. It makes possible for MS Outlook to use all installed security service providers (SSP), so if someone crazy enough will write CRAM-MD5 or DIGEST-MD5 SSP we'll support it readily :) Please consider applying.

[Dovecot] Spaces removed from subjects in FETCH response
by Kenneth Porter 06 Oct '04

06 Oct '04

I'm using SpamAssassin to tag spam and prefix the spam score to the subject line. To make the scores sort properly in the client's message list, I pad the score with spaces to right-align it. It looks like dovecot-0.99.10.9-1.FC3.2 is frustrating this by stripping the excess spaces from the subject before reporting it in FETCH responses. Here's an actual subject line: Subject: (SPAM? 6.9) Urgent Response !! Note the multiple spaces before the "6.9". Here's the matching FETCH command and reply, as reported in Mulberry's IMAP.log (just the relevant message is shown here): A00035 FETCH 1507:1524 (FLAGS RFC822.SIZE UID INTERNALDATE ENVELOPE BODYSTRUCTURE) * 1517 FETCH (UID 1557 FLAGS (\Seen) INTERNALDATE "02-Oct-2004 12:24:40 -0700" RFC822.SIZE 6263 BODYSTRUCTURE (("text" "plain" ("charset" "us-ascii") NIL NIL "8bit" 1168 24 NIL ("inline" NIL) NIL)("message" "rfc822" ("x-spam-type" "original") NIL "original message before SpamAssassin" "8bit" 3855 ("Sat, 02 Oct 2004 13:52:28 -0400" "Urgent Response !!"

Thank you very much for your prompt reply and I hope you can forgive me to have erroneusly send the previous message directly to your address instead of the ML address.

In effect I've setted it in slapd.conf and if I run > ldapsearch -x -D *dn inserted in dovecot-ldap.conf* -w password I can read the userPassword field of every user in the tree. But if the problem is in the password field can be connected to the crypted password stored in userPassword? I wrong to set *pass_attrs = uid,{SSHA}userPassword* in dovecot-ldap.conf? Piviul

[Dovecot] 'Connection dropped by imap-server' when doing searches in
by Mike Jakubik 05 Oct '04

05 Oct '04

Hi, It seems that on larger folders (32k emails) searching fails with the following error under squirrelmail 1.4.3a. (The server continues to work, as the hard drive stays on for a bit after the error is displayed) --- Search Results ERROR: ERROR : Connection dropped by imap-server. Query: SEARCH CHARSET ISO-8859-1 ALL SUBJECT {9} 5.3-BETA7 SUBJECT {9} available --- Oddly enough, when searching for just '5.3-BETA7' instead of '5.3-BETA7 available' the search completes OK. I can search with multiple strings on smaller (3k) folders however. Thanks.

[Dovecot] dovecot-auth
by Piviul 05 Oct '04

05 Oct '04

Hi, I'm a new list member, I’m a not an English native speaking (so, please forgive any error you can find in this mail) and I'm trying to install Dovecot in Debian Woody. I've installed the Dovecot package from backports and I’m trying to configure it to get the credential authentication from an LDAP backend. This is the configuration process summary I’ve done; if you need some configuration file I can post it with great pleasure. In LDAP I’ve created the user cn=dovecot,ou=DSA,dc=flanet,dc=org, I’ve configured this user to have read access to the userPassword field in slapd.conf (the other parameter such as uid, directoryHome… can be read as anonymous), I’ve configured the dovecot-ldap.conf to bind using the “cn=dovecot,ou=DSA,dc=flanet,dc=org” and I set the *auth_userdb* and *auth_passdb* of dovecot.conf to *ldap /path/to/dovecot-ldap.conf*. When I’m trying to start dovecot in the mail.err log file I can find > Oct 5 11:13:29 PDC-SMB dovecot-auth: LDAP: ldap_simple_bind_s() failed (dn cn=dovecot,ou=DSA,dc=flanet,dc=org): Invalid credentials Is the problem that the ldap-password is stored in SSHA crypted mode and in *dnpass* I've inserted it in plaintext? Or more in general, someone can help me to find where I wrong and how can I try to solve it? Piviul

[Dovecot] timeout when retrieving folder list w/ Evolution 2.0?
by leon breedt 05 Oct '04

05 Oct '04

hi, i have a problem with some maildir folders, where Evolution times out when retrieving the header list. It only happens with one particular folder, but i can't seem to find a pattern behind it. The amount of headers it does manage to retrieve varies, from between 3% to 50%. Its not a particularly large folder either (only 520 messages). The error message I get from Evolution is "Server response ended too soon". I did an Ethereal trace, and the closest IMAP command before the failure is: FLAGS (\Answered \Seen) RFC822.SIZE xxx INTERNALDATE "xxx" UID nnn)\r\n its a different UID value that fails each time though. after this response from the server, it seems to get through the message header (not sure if the entire message header was sent back). i'll keep this folder around as a test case. any ideas on where to start debugging? i'm fairly familiar with C and gdb. leon
