[Dovecot] multiple auth-client sockets
Hi!
I'm gonna need to use dovecot's auth-client socket in an authentication
program. Now the auth-client socket is only used by my MTA, which is postfix.
Because postfix's smtpd process (which uses the auth-client socket) runs
chrooted under postfix's spool directory, I must create the auth-client socket
under that spool directory. However, to reach that socket from another
chrooted program is impossible. Can I create multiple instances of auth-client
sockets? I tried to define another client {} stanza in socket listen {} in
dovecot.conf, but only the last client socket got created.
I need only a true or false response from dovecot regarding the
authentication, and I thought that this is exactly what auth-client socket
will do. However, if I can not reach it, is there any alternative to this?
What's up with the auth-master or auth-worker sockets? Are they capable of
respond to an auth request too?
btw, I'm running dovecot-1.2.3
Thanks!
Daniel

[Dovecot] Wiki entry for expire plugin, PostgreSQL trigger needs update
The wiki entry at http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Expire needs an
update for Dovecot 1.2 and PostgreSQL:
-- v1.2+:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION merge_expires() RETURNS TRIGGER AS $$
BEGIN
IF exists(SELECT 1 FROM expires WHERE username = NEW.username AND mailbox =
NEW.mailbox) THEN
UPDATE expires SET expire_stamp = NEW.expire_stamp
WHERE username = NEW.username AND mailbox = NEW.mailbox;
RETURN NULL;
ELSE
RETURN NEW;
END IF;
END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
CREATE TRIGGER mergeexpires BEFORE INSERT ON expires
FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE merge_expires();
At least that's what I think after looking at the code:
iter = dict_iterate_init(dict, DICT_EXPIRE_PREFIX,
DICT_ITERATE_FLAG_RECURSE |
DICT_ITERATE_FLAG_SORT_BY_VALUE);
/* We'll get the oldest values (timestamps) first */
while (dict_iterate(iter, key, value) 0) {
/* key = DICT_EXPIRE_PREFIXuser/mailbox */
userp = key + strlen(DICT_EXPIRE_PREFIX);
[...]
T_BEGIN {
username = t_strdup_until(userp, p);
If this code does somehow iterate usernames which are not present in
the dict, I apologize.
Cheers

[Dovecot] autocreate plugin fails to subscribe mailbox in public namespace
Hi, I'm one step away from replacing a 7 years old qmail/uw-imapd setup with some state of the art soft- and hardware. We got migration scripts and test almost done - just one thing that keeps failing: The autocreate plugin is supposed to subscribe new users to different mailboxes, one of them being in namespace Public. - this subscription to Public.announcements fails. Below is a dovecot -n - and no, there are no error messages in the logs. # 1.2.2: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.30-bpo.1-amd64 x86_64 Debian 5.0.2 log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: imap imaps managesieve listen(default): *:143 listen(imap): *:143 listen(managesieve): * ssl_listen(default): *:993 ssl_listen(imap): *:993 ssl_listen(managesieve): ssl_cert_file: /etc/ssl/owncerts/snakeoil.crt ssl_key_file: /etc/ssl/private/snakeoil.key login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(managesieve): /usr/lib/dovecot/managesieve-login verbose_proctitle: yes mail_privileged_group: vmail mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir mbox_write_locks: fcntl dotlock mail_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(managesieve): /usr/lib/dovecot/managesieve mail_process_size: 384 mail_plugins(default): quota imap_quota fts fts_squat acl autocreate expire trash mail_plugins(imap): quota imap_quota fts fts_squat acl autocreate expire trash mail_plugins(managesieve): mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(managesieve): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/managesieve namespace: type: private separator: . inbox: yes list: yes subscriptions: yes namespace: type: public separator: . prefix: Public. location: maildir:/export/vmailboxes/public:INDEX=~/Maildir/public list: yes lda: postmaster_address: postmas...@test.cite.lan hostname: testvm06.test.cite.lan mail_plugins: quota sieve expire trash auth_socket_path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master auth default: mechanisms: plain login cram-md5 passdb: driver: ldap args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf userdb: driver: ldap args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: sasl master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 user: vmail group: vmail plugin: quota: maildir:User quota quota_warning: storage=90%% /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh 90 quota_warning2: storage=95%% /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh 95 sieve: ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_storage: ~/sieve sieve_extensions: +imapflags fts: squat fts_squat: partial=4 full=10 acl: vfile autocreate: Trash autocreate2: Drafts autocreate3: Sent autocreate4: learn-spam autosubscribe: Trash autosubscribe2: Drafts autosubscribe3: Sent autosubscribe4: learn-spam autosubscribe5: Public.announcements autosubscribe6: INBOX expire: Trash 60 Trash/* 60 expire_dict: proxy::expire trash: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-trash.conf dict: expire: pgsql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-expire.conf Any hints are really appreciated.

Only ~1000 users, but still...

With above configuration all users within the domain share all their
non-INBOX mailboxes. Is this really what you wanted?

Password excepted, my passwd.dovecot file containing a single virtual
user looks like:
richard:{plain}password:504:505::/home/vmail
Then you should configure dovecot to use userdb passwd-file { .. }
instead of using userdb passwd (which uses your /etc/passwd).
Also don't make home directory shared across users. Instead I'd do
something like:
home = /var/spool/mail/vhosts/domain.tld/name
mail_location = mbox:~/mail

[Dovecot] More effective mailbox fetching over high RTT link
Could you offer some suggestion how to fetch mailbox content over high RTT link (with negligible packet loss)? Currently I use IMAP+IDLE *but* it fails to use full available bandwidth due to high RTT and send command wait for response nature of POP3 and IMAP4 protocols. -- [plen: Andrew] Andrzej Adam Filip : a...@onet.eu Learning without thought is labor lost; thought without learning is perilous. -- Confucius

Currently I use IMAP+IDLE *but* it fails to use full available bandwidth due to high RTT and send command wait for response nature of POP3 and IMAP4 protocols. I'm not entirely sure what you want. Download all new messages automatically whenever they show up? And by mailbox do you mean user or folder? So would you want to download all new mails in all folders? And is it ok to create your own software to do the downloading? If all of them were yes, the best you could right now would be to set up a virtual all mailbox containing all mailboxes. Then in IDLE you'd see whenever new messages pop up and then issue FETCH n:* BODY.PEEK[] or whatever. There's also IMAP NOTIFY extension that would allow your client to ask server to immediately send the message body instead of the client having to ask for it. But Dovecot doesn't currently support that. Or if you just always wanted to download all mails, again a virtual mailbox and FETCH 1:* BODY.PEEK[] gives you all mails. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
