[Dovecot] how to config dovecot for multiple domains, multiple SSL certs, and conditional IP access -- with passwd-file passdb?
by PGNet Dev 09 Oct '09

09 Oct '09

at them moment, i've configured dovecot for a flat passwd-file, annd static userdb. from dovecot.conf, ... auth default { mechanisms = plain digest-md5 cram-md5 user = mail ... passdb passwd-file { args = /data/mail/users/imap_user_file } userdb static { args = static uid=mail gid=mail home=/data/mail/store/Domains/%d/Accounts/%n quota=maildir:storage=4096 nice=10 } ... i'd like to configure dovecot to, host multiple domains, each on a separate IP setup a separate SSL cert for each domain respond with a different login_greeting for each domain restrict access to, and access type (e.g., TLS req'd vs noTLS, secure auth OK) of, imap login based with conditional rules based on the guest's IP address. all of these things are currently implemented on the non-dovecot imap server i'm migrating _from_, and i'd like to preserve these capabilities. can any/all of these be accomplished with a passwd-file flatfile lookup? i know i can restrict IP access in passwd-file with 'allow_nets=', but atm i'm unclear how i'd do that for multiple domains, etc. i understand that much can be accomplished with custom SQL queries, but for a small install would _prefer_ to stay flat file. i'm finding bits & pieces of capability in docs, etc -- but, so far, nothing comprehensive/all-inclusive. which makes me wonder a bit -- why not? any comments/advice would be much appreciated. thanks!

[Dovecot] Move messages marked as Spam
by michel＠casa.co.cu 08 Oct '09

08 Oct '09

Hello I have implemented recently in my work bogofilter to mark messages as Spam or Ham, currently is working perfectly, but I want to move those messages marked as spam to a folder called spam. I installed dovecot-sieve with the intention of using fileinto to accomplish this. my question is: where I put this: require "fileinto"; if header :contains "X-Bogosity" "Spam" { fileinto "Spam"; } so that all messages that come to my users go into the spam folder? and how i handle messages that are marked as "Unsure" X-Bogosity: Unsure Thanks Michel ---------------------------------------------- Webmail, servicio de correo electronico Casa de las Americas - La Habana, Cuba.

[Dovecot] Logging in with '+' delimiter
by Jerry 07 Oct '09

07 Oct '09

Dovecot v1.2.4 FreeBSD-7.2 I have Postfix configured to use Virtual Users & Domains and use Dovecot for virtual delivery. Postfix also sends, dovecot correctly places mail with '+'addressing; i.e., "foo+bar(a)domain.com" into "path-to-mail/domain.com/foo+bar". The problem is when I attempt to access the mailbox, the user name: foo+bar(a)domain.com is rejected. Is this by design, or is there a way to circumvent this problem? -- Jerry gesbbb(a)yahoo.com Fortune favors the lucky.

[Dovecot] Is it possible to authenticate against Active Direcotry using the whole e-mail?
by Δημήτριος Καραπιπέ ρης 07 Oct '09

07 Oct '09

Hi all! Is it possible to authenticate against Active Directory, using the whole e-mail address and not the user part (%n), so that if you support mutiple domains, all users should authenticate with their e-mail addresses. I use auth_bind_userdn = DOMAIN \ %u but somehow the *mail* attribute of Active/LDAP should be employed. thanks in advance Dimitrios Karapiperis

The LDAP would be for the configuration. Do you actually want the IMAP/POP3 clients to use Kerberos? For plaintext auth I don't see any benefit in Dovecot using Kerberos rather than LDAP (and it doesn't support that, except via pam_kerberos or whatever I guess). But for clients to use Kerberos (GSSAPI) and authenticate against AD while Dovecot is in the middle... I've no idea.

Like chmod 01777 /var/mail. Or override mail_executable setting to a script that still runs as root and can create the directory with proper permissions. http://wiki.dovecot.org/PostLoginScripting

[Dovecot] Samba AD and Dovecot
by Trever L. Adams 07 Oct '09

07 Oct '09

Hello All, I haven't seen the answer to this, maybe I am just using the wrong searches. I have two queries related to this: 1) I have seen how to configure for LDAP and Kerberos. AD uses both together. All user information is in AD/LDAP and authentication is AD/Kerberos. How can I configure Dovecot to use both appropriately? 2) I can cause Samba to create certain directories on login, etc. However, I am needing to do this for Dovecot (and Postfix using Dovecot deliver). I would prefer to use Dovecot functionality for this, not Samba.This is not the autocreate folder/subscribe stuff, at least I think not. For example if I have a directory /var/mail/domain/user. Can I have Dovecot auto create (with proper permissions) the domain/user part? These would be used for maildir. Thank you, Trever Adams

Note to all: If you are running Dovecot on a system where any of the mailboxes are nfs v4 mounted from a RHEL (or derivative) server DO NOT upgrade that server to an unpatched 2.6.18-164 kernel, it is very broken at this time. Not only will Dovecot fail but you're likely to have a myriad of other problems. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=523797 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=524520 > On Mon, 2009-10-05 at 10:30 -0400, vwc72283(a)voicenet.com wrote: >> So, it is reproducible.

Hello All, I am having difficulties in running dovecot with mysql accounts. The db worked but the config file is hardly something I could do to work properly as it should be, it does even not run saying various errors found in dovecot.conf Has anyone already built dovecot server to run with with a mysql base ? Could it be so that one sends me a conf file that shall work to help me ? Thanks. Jean-François

[Dovecot] Dovecot 1.2.4 - assertion crash in view_lookup_seq_range

06 Oct '09

Hi all, We have a number of machines running Dovecot 1.2.4 that have been assert crashing occasionally. It looks like it's occurring when the users expunge their mailboxes, but I'm not sure as I can't reproduce it myself. The error in the logs is: Oct 6 07:33:09 oh-popmap3p dovecot: imap: user=<YYYY>, rip=XXXX, pid=11931: Panic: file mail-index-view.c: line 264 (view_lookup_seq_range): assertion failed: (first_uid > 0) Oct 6 07:33:09 oh-popmap3p dovecot: imap: user=<YYYY>, rip=XXXX, pid=11931: Raw backtrace: imap [0x49e130] -> imap [0x49e193] -> imap [0x49d816] -> imap [0x47e462] -> imap(mail_index_lookup_seq+0x12) [0x47e022] -> imap(mail_index_view_sync_begin+0x36a) [0x47ffba] -> imap(index_mailbox_sync_init+0x7f) [0x45e56f] -> imap(maildir_storage_sync_init+0x100) [0x43cb70] -> imap(imap_sync_init+0x67) [0x428177] -> imap(cmd_sync_delayed+0x174) [0x4283c4] -> imap(client_handle_input+0x19e) [0x420a0e] -> imap(client_input+0x5f) [0x4213ff] -> imap(io_loop_handler_run+0xf8) [0x4a5e98] -> imap(io_loop_run+0x1d) [0x4a4fad] -> imap(main+0x620) [0x428cc0] -> /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf4) [0x323dc1d994] -> imap [0x4199f9] Oct 6 07:33:09 oh-popmap3p dovecot: dovecot: child 11931 (imap) killed with signal 6 (core dumped) GDB stack information and some additional details are available here: http://uoregon.edu/~brandond/dovecot-1.2.4/stack.txt We are planning to go to 1.2.6 sometime in the next week or two, but I thought I'd try to track this particular error down just in case it's still an issue after the upgrade. -Brad

[Dovecot] dovecot 1.2.5 - can't create auth listener
by dovecot＠nro.ca 06 Oct '09

06 Oct '09

Hi. I have version 1.1.11 working fine with multiple servers. When I upgrade to 1.2.4 or 1.2.5 I keep getting an error 'can't create auth listener' (address in use) I have two ip addresses (lets call them 1.0.0.1 and 1.0.0.2). Each ip address has it's own certificate and set of servers with custom ports. I don't know how the configuration is supposed to work and it was a lot of google and trial and error to get it working. My configuration file is pretty basic so maybe someone can point out where I'm going wrong. I stripped out the few comments and unrelated settings. #listen = * disable_plaintext_auth = no ssl_ca_file = myca.crt protocol lda { postmaster_address = postmaster(a)example.com } server a1 { protocols = pop3 ssl_cert_file = a1.crt ssl_key_file = a1.key listen = 1.0.0.2:110 1.0.0.2:111 auth default { mechanisms = plain passdb pam { } userdb passwd { }}} server a2 { protocols = pop3s ssl_cert_file = a1.crt ssl_key_file = a1.key listen = 1.0.0.2:995 auth default { mechanisms = plain passdb pam { } userdb passwd { }}} server n1 { protocols = pop3 ssl_cert_file = n1.crt ssl_key_file = n1.key listen = 127.0.0.1:110 127.0.0.1:111 1.0.0.1:110 1.0.0.1:111 auth default { mechanisms = plain passdb pam { } userdb passwd { }}} server n2 { protocols = pop3s ssl_cert_file = n1.crt ssl_key_file = n1.key listen = 127.0.0.1:995 1.0.0.1:995 auth default { mechanisms = plain passdb pam { } userdb passwd { }}} ...and repeat for imap, imaps Thanks, Sean

[Dovecot] Debugging IMAP ACLs
by Kerem Erciyes 06 Oct '09

06 Oct '09

Hello, I upgraded my server to 1.2.4 and now I'm trying to implement ACL support to use with Bynari Insight Connector. Starting out with the wiki page on shared namespaces from http://wiki.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Shared I tried to implement shared mailbox support so that my customers can enjoy more exhange-like qualities with outlook. However I am not sure if the ACLs or Shared Namespaces are really working. I sure would like some help debugging ACL requests by clients, and the configuration I did. Thanks, Kerem Here is the run down of my configuration, if I have screwed up somewhere. *dovecot -n* # 1.2.4: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf # OS: FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE i386 base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/ log_path: /var/log/dovecot.log info_log_path: /var/log/dovecot-debug.log protocols: imap imaps pop3 pop3s disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot//login login_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login login_greeting: Kupyazilim IMAPS/POP3S Server - Dovecot ready. verbose_proctitle: yes first_valid_uid: 100 first_valid_gid: 6 mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: mbox:~/mail/:INBOX=/usr/home/vmail/%d/%u mail_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugins(default): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(imap): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(pop3): quota mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3 imap_client_workarounds(default): outlook-idle delay-newmail tb-extra-mailbox-sep imap_client_workarounds(imap): outlook-idle delay-newmail tb-extra-mailbox-sep imap_client_workarounds(pop3): pop3_client_workarounds(default): pop3_client_workarounds(imap): pop3_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh namespace: type: private separator: / inbox: yes list: yes subscriptions: yes namespace: type: shared separator: / prefix: shared/%%u/ location: mbox:/usr/home/vmail/%d/%u:INDEX=/usr/home/vmail/shared/%%u list: children lda: postmaster_address: postmaster(a)kupyazilim.com.tr mail_plugins: quota log_path: /var/log/dovecot-deliver.log info_log_path: /var/log/dovecot-deliver.log auth default: mechanisms: plain login user: nobody passdb: driver: sql args: /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: sql args: /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: prefetch socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: mail master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 432 user: vmail group: mail plugin: acl_shared_dict: proxy::acl dict: quota: maildir:storage=10240:messages=1000 trash: /usr/local/etc/trash.conf acl: mysql:/usr/local/etc/dovecot-dict-sql.conf * cat /usr/local/etc/dovecot-acl.conf * # mail_location copied from dovecot.conf for reference only # # mail_location: mbox:~/mail/:INBOX=/usr/home/vmail/%d/%u # note: it is %d/%u here but only %u in dovecot-sql.conf # You need to create also a private namespace: namespace private { separator = / prefix = #location defaults to mail_location. inbox = yes } namespace shared { separator = / prefix = shared/%%u/ #location = maildir:%%h/Maildir:INDEX=~/Maildir/shared/%%u location = mbox:/usr/home/vmail/%d/%u:INDEX=/usr/home/vmail/shared/%%u subscriptions = no list = children } # Set ACL to SQL Server and Reference sql-dictionary # Table implemented in mysql:/postfix/user_shares plugin { acl_shared_dict = proxy::acl } dict { acl = mysql:/usr/local/etc/dovecot-dict-sql.conf } *cat /usr/local/etc/dovecot-dict-sql.conf * map { pattern = shared/shared-boxes/user/$to/$from table = user_shares value_field = dummy fields { from_user = $from to_user = $to } } -- Kerem Erciyes Sistem Danismani http://proje.keremerciyes.com kerem.erciyes(a)gmail.com +90 532 737 05 83

[Dovecot] issues with ACL and Public Namespaces
by Anton Dollmaier 06 Oct '09

06 Oct '09

Hi all, after configuring dovecot to serve private and Public Namespaces per domain with ACLs per shared folder, everything worked great: In every shared folder I created a "dovecot-acl"-file with the permissions of every user: > user=user5(a)example.com > user=user6(a)example.com lrwstiea The subscriptions are handled with "subscriptions=no", so every local User can subscribe to shared folders as he likes. As the shared folders are managed via webinterface, the cronjob creating and deleting the folders also changes the subscriptions of every user, adding or removing the public folders as permissions are granted. RoundCube Webmail, Thunderbird and Outlook have no problems accessing and using the public folders, but a customer has problems with his Mac: In Apple Mail the folders are not visible, even when subscriptions are previously set in another mailclient. In RoundCube, I spottet another issue: subscribed public folders are usable in the "Mail"-area, but no public folder is listed in the "Folder"-settings - not even the already subscribed ones. Setting "list=yes" to the public namespace, RC lists only the prefix "shared" as a folder, but no subfolders - "list=children" shows no folder at all. As I checked the rawlog and debug-infos with "mail_debug=yes", I saw the possible cause for my problems: When checking the Folder Subscriptions in RoundCube, Dovecot tries to find an ACL file for the public folders, but does not check the public folders, but in the private Maildir: > Oct 6 15:24:16 ipx02 dovecot: IMAP(user6(a)example.com): Loading modules from directory:

possible bug related to ACL and Public Namespaces, or do I have to create the public folders also in the local Maildir and symlink the dovecot-acl to the public folder? With the symlinks in place (per Folder), dovecot finds the ACL-files and lists the folders also in RoundCube's "Folder"-pane and Apple Mail finds the public folders too. Upgrading to 1.2.5 failed so far, as my build-server has problems with automake, have to look into this too. Thanks in advance! best regards, Anton Dollmaier Output of dovecot -n: > # 1.2.3: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf > # OS: Linux 2.6.18-6-686 i686 Debian 5.0.3 > log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S > protocols: imap imaps pop3s pop3 > listen: *, [::] > ssl_cert_file: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.pem > ssl_key_file: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.pem > disable_plaintext_auth: no > login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login > login_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login > login_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login > login_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-login > mail_max_userip_connections(default): 25 > mail_max_userip_connections(imap): 25 > mail_max_userip_connections(pop3): 10 > first_valid_uid: 249 > mail_access_groups: poponly > mail_privileged_group: poponly > mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir > mail_debug: yes > mail_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/rawlog /usr/lib/dovecot/imap > mail_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/rawlog /usr/lib/dovecot/imap > mail_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 > mail_plugins(default): quota imap_quota acl autocreate expire > mail_plugins(imap): quota imap_quota acl autocreate expire > mail_plugins(pop3): quota expire > mail_plugin_dir(defamiult): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap > mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap > mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/pop3 > imap_client_workarounds(default): netscape-eoh > imap_client_workarounds(imap): netscape-eoh > imap_client_workarounds(pop3): > pop3_client_workarounds(default): > pop3_client_workarounds(imap): > pop3_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh > namespace: > type: private > separator: . > inbox: yes > list: yes > subscriptions: yes > namespace: > type: public > separator: . > prefix: shared. > location: maildir:/var/mail/vmail/%d/shared:INDEX=~/shared > list: yes > lda: > postmaster_address: postmaster(a)server.example.com > mail_plugins: quota expire > quota_full_tempfail: yes > auth_socket_path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master > log_path: /var/log/dovecot-deliver.log > info_log_path: /var/log/dovecot-deliver.log > sieve_global_dir: /etc/dovecot/sieve/ > sieve_global_path: /etc/dovecot/default.sieve > auth default: > mechanisms: plain login > passdb: > driver: sql > args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf > passdb: > driver: sql > args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql-master.conf > userdb: > driver: sql > args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf > socket: > type: listen > client: > path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth > mode: 432 > user: postfix > group: postfix > master: > path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master > mode: 432 > user: vmail > group: vmail > plugin: > quota: dict:INBOX::proxy::quotadict > quota2: dict:shared:%d:ns=shared.:proxy::quotadict > quota_rule: *:storage=50M:messages=1000 > quota_rule2: Trash:storage=50M:messages=100 > quota2_rule: *:storage=100M:messages=1000 > quota_warning: storage=95%% /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh 95 > quota_warning2: storage=80%% /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh 80 > acl: vfile > expire: Trash 7 Spam 30 > expire_dict: proxy::expire > autocreate: Trash > autocreate2: Spam > autocreate3: Sent > autosubscribe: Trash > autosubscribe2: Spam > autosubscribe3: Sent > dict: > quotadict: mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-quota.conf > expire: mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-expire.conf

[Dovecot] v1.2.6 released
by Timo Sirainen 06 Oct '09

06 Oct '09

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/dovecot-1.2.6.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/dovecot-1.2.6.tar.gz.sig A couple of random things: - I decided to start using "hg sign" to gpg sign all releases in mercurial repository. - v2.0.alpha1 will hopefully be released in a week or two. Changes since 1.2.5: * Upgraded to Unicode 5.2.0 + Added authtest utility for doing passdb and userdb lookups. + login: ssl_security string now also shows the used compression. - quota: Don't crash with non-Maildir++ quota backend. - imap proxy: Fixed crashing with some specific password characters. - dovecot --exec-mail was broken. - Avoid assert-crashing when two processes try to create index at the same time.

[Dovecot] Proxy setup & upgrade from 1.0.3 to 1.1.7
by Adrian Wojcicki | Unternehmensberatung Wojcicki 06 Oct '09

06 Oct '09

Hi guys! I hope somebody can help me with my problem: We have a server running dovecot and proxying IMAPS connections to our internal network. This worked so far very good until we upgraded the server to a new SUSE Linux version and with it dovecot from version 1.0.3 to 1.1.7. My guess is that something changed in the way dovecot reads the user file as the configuration stayed the same: dovecot.conf: base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/ protocols = imaps disable_plaintext_auth = yes ssl_cert_file = /<pathtocertificate> ssl_key_file = /<pathtocertificate> ssl_disable = no ssl_listen = 80.149.64.98:993 log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log login_dir = /var/run/dovecot/login login_process_per_connection = yes login_processes_count = 3 login_greeting = main.xbdx.de IMAP What can we do for you? imap_client_workarounds = tb-extra-mailbox-sep mail_debug = no auth_debug = yes auth_cache_size = 4096 auth_cache_ttl = 7200 auth_worker_max_count = 30 auth default { userdb static { args = uid=5000 gid=5000 } passdb { driver = passwd-file args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot.passdb } socket listen { client { path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode = 0660 user = postfix group = postfix } } mechanisms = plain login user = root count = 1 } dovecot.passdb: testuser1:::::::host=<internalip> port=143 nodelay=y nologin=y proxy=y testuser2:::::::host=<internalip> port=143 nodelay=y nologin=y proxy=y dovecot.log: dovecot: Oct 06 10:37:26 Info: Dovecot v1.1.7 starting up dovecot: Oct 06 10:37:26 Info: auth(default): passwd-file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.passdb: Read 2 users dovecot: Oct 06 10:37:27 Info: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=8135 dovecot: Oct 06 10:37:27 Info: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=8136 dovecot: Oct 06 10:37:27 Info: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=8137 dovecot: Oct 06 10:37:39 Info: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=8139 dovecot: Oct 06 10:37:39 Info: auth(default): client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=imap secured lip=80.149.64.98 rip=217.91.33.32 lport=993 rport=61752 resp=<hidden> dovecot: Oct 06 10:37:39 Info: auth(default): cache(adrian.wojcicki,217.91.33.32): miss dovecot: Oct 06 10:37:39 Info: auth(default): passwd-file(testuser1,217.91.33.32): lookup: user=testuser1 file=/etc/dovecot/dovecot.passdb dovecot: Oct 06 10:37:39 Info: auth(default): passwd-file(testuser1,217.91.33.32): Password mismatch dovecot: Oct 06 10:37:41 Info: auth(default): client out: FAIL 1 user=testuser1 host=<internalip> port=143 nologin proxy pass=<hidden> dovecot: Oct 06 10:37:41 Info: imap-login: Aborted login (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=<testuser1>, method=PLAIN, rip=217.91.33.32, lip=80.149.64.98, TLS Thanks!
