One way is to use https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/authentication/auth_policy/or you can use passdb { driver = passwd-file deny = yes args = username_formar=%{rip} /etc/dovecot/deny.ip}or you can use https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/authentication/lua_based_authe… write this in Lua.Aki -------- Original message --------From: Hippo Man <hippoman(a)gmail.com> Date: 8/1/23 18:14 (GMT+02:00) To: dovecot(a)dovecot.org Subject: Forcing imap authentication failure for certain IP addresses I'm running dovecot 2.3.18 under Debian 11.I want to do something that's a bit unusual: when IMAP connections are attemptedfrom a few specific IP addresses, I want to force an IMAP authentication failurefrom those connections, no matter what user ID and password are specified.I know that I can use iptables to completely block imap access from those IPaddresses to the IMAP ports. However, in these specific cases, I'd prefer thatthe connection goes through to dovecot, but for dovecot then to always generateauthentication failures for those specific connections ... even if a validuser ID and password happen to be specified.Is there a way to do this in dovecot?Thank you very much in advance.-- hippoman(a)gmail.com Take a hippopotamus to lunch today. .---------, 0__0 / ( oo'---, / oo\ ,\ | | \ ,=__/ \ / / /------| /| |__|-' |__|'

sieve passing body as arguments to executed script
by Jonathan Davis 02 Aug '23

02 Aug '23

I ran into an issue when trying to wildcard match the email body where the variable was empty, which lead me to extracttext and forverypart, however I am running into an odd error. When I deliver an email with the body of 'this is the body text of email' it dies with the following error: sogo: line 236: error: specified :args item `this is the body text of email??' is invalid The sieve in question: if header :matches "Subject" "*" { set "emailsubject" "${1}"; } if header :matches "From" "*" { set "emailfrom" "${1}"; } foreverypart { if header :mime :type :is "Content-Type" "text" { extracttext :first 80 "emailbody"; break; } } execute "script.php" ["${emailfrom}", "${emailsubject}", "${emailbody}"]; I tried downloading the log to see if ?? was a character not rendering correctly in console, but local text editors show the same. I'm not sure where it is coming from or what it is. I tried :quotewildcard with set :quotewildcard "quotedbody" ${emailbody}"; And passed "${quotedbody}" as an argument, however the same error was appearing in the logs. If I'm approaching this problem incorrectly, the end result is I want to pass the entire contents of the email to the script. - Jonathan

Postlogin script ACL_GROUPS from LDAP
by Andrzej Milewski 01 Aug '23

01 Aug '23

Hello, I am testing the Dovecot mail server with the iRedMail configuration. My backend is based on LDAP. I would like to set up the "Public" folders in such a way as to grant permissions to specific groups of users. To achieve this, I created the following entry in the configuration: acl = vfile:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-acl-global:cache_secs=300 For individual users, the global permissions work correctly, and I achieve what I want. However, I am unsure how to grant permissions for a group. Specifically, I know that I should include permissions for groups in this file, for example: Public/ anyone l Public/IT_Suwalki group=grupa1 lrwstipek Public/IT_Suwalki/* group=grupa1 lrwstipekxa But I don't know how to associate users with groups. From what I managed to figure out, the user should have the "ACL_GROUPS=grupa1,grupa2" variable, and it should be passed by the postlogin script. But how can I do that? Do you have any working example of such a script? Which LDAP attributes should this script utilize? In my LDAP, there is an attribute called "memberOfGroup"; can I use it? Thank you for all the suggestions. -- Andrzej Milewski andrzej.milewski(a)gmail.com tel. 0603957324

Notification "API" for external replication
by Heiko Schlittermann 31 Jul '23

31 Jul '23

Hi Aki and all the Dovecot team, thank you for your work on Dovecot. As the "built-in" replication is going to cease (I do not want to discuss the reasoning or any judgement here): Can you (the Dovecot developers) ensure that a kind of "notification socket"¹ will be there, even if you do not provide a the replicator feature? And - but that's already a feature request - could you use this (or an other socket) for notifications on sieve script changes? I can imagine using this socket as an "official" interface to external software. Actually that would implicate that the notification messages are documented and stable, but I'm sure, this would be possible (if not done already). ¹) That is how I understand the current mechanism of the replication: the replicator gets a notification via the socket and starts replicating the mailbox.

Accessing SSL parameters via dovecot variables
by Graham Leggett 26 Jul '23

26 Jul '23

Hi all, Dovecot supports variables, which can be used in filters. Does the SSL code expose variables linked to the client certificate? The answer today appears to be no, and if that’s true I plan to patch it, but just need to confirm I am not missing something. Regards, Graham —

Filtering by SASL auth mechanism
by Graham Leggett 26 Jul '23

26 Jul '23

Hi all, I want dovecot to behave differently depending on what SASL mechanism was used. Most specifically, if EXTERNAL, I want auth_ssl_username_from_cert to be yes, but no otherwise. There is a filtering mechanism that supports protocol, remote, etc. https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/config_file/ Would it make sense to add a SASL mechanism filter like this: mechanism external { # … } Regards, Graha —

SASL External and LDAP - Login attempt with empty password
by Graham Leggett 26 Jul '23

26 Jul '23

Hi all, I am trying to configure dovecot to accept SASL EXTERNAL authentication with a client certificate and no password. I have tried the following configuration: passdb { driver = ldap # Path for LDAP configuration file, see example-config/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap-external.conf.ext mechanisms = external default_fields = noauthenticate=y } In the logs I see dovecot correctly negotiate SASL EXTERNAL, but eventually we reach this line and we fail: https://github.com/dovecot/core/blob/34a18f5a79bf7eca58e55aff3e1fe69468292d… Which is in turn reached by following this code: https://github.com/dovecot/core/blob/34a18f5a79bf7eca58e55aff3e1fe69468292d… In theory, if I understand this correctly, what is missing is a field to say “don’t try check any password”, which field is this supposed to be? “nopassword”? “noauthenticate”? I am happy to patch this, but need some guidance as what the correct approach is. Regards, Graham —

Quota possibly overcomplicating, need sanity check?
by David Mehler 25 Jul '23

25 Jul '23

Hello, New setup and trying to get quotas going. It's a Dovecot/Postfix/Mariadb virtual user setup. In my db I have a varchar field called quota with a default value of 128. Here's what I have in dovecot configs for quota: # Plugins mail_plugins = acl mail_crypt quota service stats { fifo_listener stats-mail { user = vmail mode = 0644 } inet_listener { address = 127.0.0.1 port = 24242 } } # quota status service quota-status { executable = quota-status -p postfix unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-quota { user = postfix group = postfix mode = 0660 } client_limit = 1 } # Quota warnings service quota-warning { executable = script /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh user = vmail unix_listener quota-warning { group = vmail mode = 0660 user = vmail } } plugin { quota = count:User quota quota2 = maildir:Shared quota:ns=public/ quota_max_mail_size = 100M # Required for 'count' quota driver quota_vsizes = yes quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+10%% quota_rule = *:storage=1G quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=100M quota_rule3 = SPAM:ignore quota_warning = storage=100%% quota-warning +100 %u quota_warning2 = storage=95%% quota-warning +95 %u quota_warning3 = storage=80%% quota-warning +80 %u quota_warning4 = -storage=100%% quota-warning -100 %u # user is no longer over quota quota_exceeded_message = User %u has exhausted allowed storage space. quota_grace = 10%% # 10% is the default quota_status_success = DUNNO quota_status_nouser = DUNNO quota_status_overquota = "552 5.2.2 Mailbox is full" ## Stats ### how often to session statistics (must be set) stats_refresh = 30 secs ### track per-IMAP command statistics (optional) stats_track_cmds = yes } The protocol imap has the imap_quota plugin and protocol lmtp has the quota plugin. I've also got lmtp_rcpt_check_quota = yes mailbox_list_index = yes In my dovecot-sql.conf file my user query looks like this: user_query = SELECT concat('*:storage=', quota, 'M') AS quota_rule FROM accounts WHERE username = '%Ln' AND domain = '%Ld' AND sendonly = false; Postfix checks: check_policy_service unix:private/dovecot-quota Am I overcomplicating? Thanks. Dave.

mail_crypt on existing mailstore
by David Mehler 25 Jul '23

Hello, I've got a pre-existing mailstore, it's a Postfix/Dovecot/Mariadb virtual-user setup, with users and mailboxes. I'd now like to get mail_crypt going. Can I do this with this existing store or if not how would I set this up? Thanks. Dave.
