ACL management from SQL
by cyril.leclerc＠mantiq.com 14 Sep '23

14 Sep '23

Hello, we are facing issue, we manage the shared folder from SQL table, but it was never working as we have to manage acl permission from the server itself, we want to manage permissions (read or write) from the same application we can share user mailbox but it is written in dovecot documentation that is not supported now, we tried to find a mail client that could manage it at least, but only thunderbird was able to do it (but in version 60) and not more today. We saw that roundcube could handle it but we use rainloop. 1. It is really not possible at all to manage acl permissions fron SQL like the shared box itself ? 2. I tried to set acl permissions from old version of thunderbird, when i made modification it tried to update the sharedbox table, i did not see the query executed but as we were working on a view, the update failed. Do you know what it tried to do ?

Shared mailbox listing not working
by exactoph 14 Sep '23

14 Sep '23

Hi there, Having trouble with shared mailboxes. Followed the documentation, but the IMAP LIST doesn't work for mailboxes besides "INBOX" etc. In the meantime I've switched from file based acl_shared_dict to DB based as some people had problems with it. However still no success. I can see entries in the DB, doveadm acl get ... returns that the mailbox is shared, but it is not listed in doveadm mailbox list ... My configuration: https://pastebin.com/aWnMXJ4J Help would be very appreciated!

Trouble with SMTP, TLS and dovecot.org.

Hello, I cannot seem to send STARTTLS protected mail to talvi.dovecot.org, and I was wondering if anybody else sees similar problems: Sep 6 22:29:10 ra postfix/smtp[15748]: SSL_connect error to talvi.dovecot.org[94.237.105.223]:25: -1 Sep 6 22:29:10 ra postfix/smtp[15748]: warning: TLS library problem: error:0A000417:SSL routines::sslv3 alert illegal parameter:../openssl-3.0.9/ssl/record/rec_layer_s3.c:1586:SSL alert number 47: Sep 6 22:29:10 ra postfix/smtp[15748]: 1AAE4BE0031: Cannot start TLS: handshake failure Sep 6 22:29:10 ra postfix/smtp[15748]: SSL_connect error to talvi.dovecot.org[2a04:3545:1000:720:acc1:5bff:fe5e:459]:25: -1 Sep 6 22:29:10 ra postfix/smtp[15748]: warning: TLS library problem: error:0A000417:SSL routines::sslv3 alert illegal parameter:../openssl-3.0.9/ssl/record/rec_layer_s3.c:1586:SSL alert number 47: Sep 6 22:29:10 ra postfix/smtp[15748]: 1AAE4BE0031: to=<dovecot(a)dovecot.org>, relay=talvi.dovecot.org[2a04:3545:1000:720:acc1:5bff:fe5e:459]:25, delay=1.6, delays=0.02/0.01/1.6/0, dsn=4.7.5, status=deferred (Cannot start TLS: handshake failure) Sep 6 22:30:05 ra postfix/smtpd[15616]: timeout after END-OF-MESSAGE from localhost[127.0.0.1] Sep 6 22:30:05 ra postfix/smtpd[15616]: disconnect from localhost[127.0.0.1] ehlo=1 xforward=1 mail=1 rcpt=1 data=1 commands=5 The originating server uses Postfix 3.8.2 and OpenSSL library 3.0.9.

Fwd: DOvecot requires both IPv4 and IPV6 to start

OK, even though the service desk doesn't know how to answer the above questions about IPv6 correctly, the information *is* available if you dig hard enough. And it seems to work. Can you get a PTR6 record for your mail server? No. At least, not from my upstream. Begins with "A" and ends with "T". Don't even ask about reverse delegations, the blank stare will scare you. (I apologize to everyone on this list. The above diatribe more correctly lives on mailing lists for Sendmail, Postfix, Exim, and other packages that actually originate mail exchanges.)

DOvecot requires both IPv4 and IPV6 to start
by TWHG Technical 06 Sep '23

06 Sep '23

I think we are off topic. We have a network policy that until such time as we have fully implemented the same security we have on our IPV4 network we simply do not allow IPV6 as it is another attack vector we are not fully upto speed on. So we block all IPV6 at the perimeter and on all switches, firewalls and routers. So if you connect to our network with a device no IP6 is configured and only IPV4 is allowed. We will get there! But that is not this issue. The issue is that dovecot is assuming that IPV6 is there and crashes out if it's not. Hacking the config to only listen on IP4 solves the problem but not while installing from standard repos to install the currently supported version. Cheers Spart

Hi. Can someone help me please check what is wrong with my config? postfix is saying "no SASL authentication mechanisms" and I'm using dovecot. From what I read so far, it is related to my dovecot settings. Here are the details of my config http://paste.debian.net/1290864/

Hi, I'm running a postfix smtp relay server on which users are getting authenticated trough sasl via the dovecot authentication service. This works without problems. Recently I extended my configuration to authenticate users with the PLAIN mechanism against Azure AD B2C with oauth2 in the future.

DOvecot requires both IPv4 and IPV6 to start
by TWHG Technical 04 Sep '23

04 Sep '23

Hello, I hope this is the right place to start. Ubuntu server the default listener configuration in dovecot.conf uses both IP4 and IP6 on systems that have IP6 disabled dovecot will not start. Is it possible to set the default to: listen = * to only bind to IP4 for installation and initial start. Rather than listen = *, :: which tries to bind to a non existent IP6 stack. Or simply fallback to ip4 if ip6 is not available. Thank you

IPV6 is disabled in the grub command line. So before the OS boots. So there is no IPV6 support in the system. Unless one enables it in the Grub bootloader. Cheers
