[Dovecot] Possible erroneous "aborted login attempts"
Aug 29 22:51:27 server1 dovecot: imap-login: Aborted login (no auth attempts): rip=(obfuscated), lip=173.50.101.12, TLS Aug 29 22:51:27 server1 dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=... before most every successful login, the same second of time, dovecot has the above message. This is not a huge problem but our firewall is looking for aborted login attempts, for imap/pop3 (relevant to dovecot) dos attempts and, if many people start having problems of their packets being dropped, we will have to stop looking for the statement or lower security slightly, more attempts over a period of time before filtering. However, thanks to your idle feature, there is less of these messages; so, I don't think we will have a problem. The only client that doesn't have a problem is our php webmail but we don't look in dovecot's log for failed attempts from here; as, it is from the same ip, to dovecot from php, constantly without reference to the user. This has been happening since 1.2.11 with us. We don't use any imap relay but was looking into imapproxy for cacheing speed and preventing advanced ddos attempts, those from users with access.

Re: [Dovecot] doveadm expunge -A mailbox Trash savedbefore 30d
Could you explain the iterate_query in any kind of sql. I'm guessing to
just use the query, correctly, that's failing as iterate_query= and put
it in the service auth file which includes password_query and
user_query. then, I'm guessing to add something like:
iteratedb {
driver = sql
args = /path/to/sql.conf
}
The wiki2 only says:
"When the SQL userdb module is used make sure that the iterate_query
setting in /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext matches your database layout."
it should give an example query. I don't know if its wanting to list the
fields or the contents of a field.
Thanks,

Re: [Dovecot] dovecot - mac firewall problem
Hi, Thanks everyone for your help and input. I think perhaps my attempt to be brief and focused in posing my question has led to some confusion about my needs and configuration. I do not have the luxury of being able to segregate the server (postfix and dovecot) from client (GUI, etc) on different machines. I am, as Charles' surmised, using this to aggregate disparate mail streams into a single location, and using dovecot to serve it. Since I must run client-ish applications on this machine, the application firewall is desirable. The anticipated load on this system from the server side is quite light, so the throughput overhead incurred by the application firewall is negligible. The problem appears to be that--for some reason--dovecot identifies itself incorrectly to the application firewall, resulting in the garbage shown in the logs and failure to permit this connection (the firewall is configured to explicitly permit connections for dovecot). I note that other daemons (e.g. postfix, sshd, etc) do not exhibit this defect; the firewall works as expected for every other service I've tried except dovecot. The logs for the firewall appear as: Aug 26 20:43:45 hostname Firewall[55]: Deny ^L connecting from XX.XX.XX.XX:37310 uid = 0 proto=6 Aug 26 20:43:53 hostname Firewall[55]: Deny ^H?^U???^Z connecting from XX.XX.XX.XX:37310 uid = 0 proto=6 Both of these are dovecot hits--but the name is different each time. Also the ?'s aren't really "?" marks; they're trans-ascii characters with high bits set that my mailer doesn't like very much. It really looks like a misdirected pointer or something somewhere, but I'm not familiar enough with the codebase to know where to start looking, or if in fact it is something else that is misconfigured. Any thoughts on how to resolve this? Patrick
Re: [Dovecot] Can't get dovecot to see email folders
You are correct, it was a subscription issue (and a permissions one as well, as I had screwed around with those while trying to figure stuff out) I managed to figure that out about an hour before you sent your email :) I eventually found the issue discussed in wiki2. I don't see where UW-IMAP was using a subscription file though. I used it for about 5 years or more and never saw one, still can't see one. Not sure how Thunderbird was working with that IMAP server. It also looks like Thunderbird 3 has now changed how it deletes emails and no longer immediately removes them from the INBOX when the trash is emptied like it used to. Looks like I have to screw around with that now. It's nice to have Dovecot working. Better security and instant email notification now! The concept of the namespace stuff makes sense to me, but I still don't understand how Dovecot works with it in the .conf file. The documentation there could use some work. Thanks again for the help. On 8/28/2010 7:03 PM, Brian Hayden wrote: Your Thunderbird clients are set to show only subscribed folders. Dovecot by default is not looking got the same subscriptions file that uw-imap was. So, thunderbird shows no mailboxes because the (new) subscription file is empty. This is one of the many reasons why subscriptions are bad, especially come migration time. Another? It's likely you'll need to tweak your namespaces once you do get thunderbird using the right subs, because each client has it's own heinous way of mid-handling subs which result in disgusting interactions with the "imap root" setting and namespaces. And by "tweak" I mean re-do over and over till you quit and move to the Bahamas to panhandle on the beach. Take this as a golden opportunity to start fresh. At the very least, get your clients set to the same imap root and have them re-sub to the folders they want after you stabilize your namespaces. Better yet, disable the "show only subscribed folders" setting and teach your users the magic that is hierarchical folders. They don't have to see everything at once. :) -Brian

[Dovecot] Different IPs should use different ssl-certs/keys
I don't understand how to use multiple keys/certs on different IPs
without SNI.
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SSL/DovecotConfiguration explains how to use
different keys for different protocols like POP3 and IMAP.
But how to bind those keys/ on IPs/Ports?
Looks like it is not possible to use ssl_cert inside
service { inet_listener {} }
Is it still necessary to run multiple instances like it was in Dovecot
1.2.x?

If you are an ISP there is no way you can accomplish this because you have no control over customer PCs. If you are a business, univ, etc, and you have administrative control over all desktops/laptops, then you can implement a site wide policy to control the behavior of the MUAs. There are a number of enterprise management tools for Windows, Linux, and Mac OSX you could use to manage these settings on the MUAs to effect what you desire above. Such enterprise management tools are beyond the scope of discussion of the Dovecot list. If all your desktops are Microsoft you can use AD group policies. If you have mixed Windows and Linux desktops you may want to look at Novell ZENworks. Google "enterprise management tools" -- Stan

Apparently you did miss something. The reason the platform question came up is because the Mac OSX application firewall was causing him problems. My research showed that Apple recommends this software be enabled _only_ for workstation applications (GUI, interactive), not for server daemons. Thus, the OP is running a system "out of the norm" according to Apple, which in English is equivalent to "odd" and "rare". You mistook my post for being animus, which it was not. -- Stan
[Dovecot] Sent mail issue
Dear All, I have few question regarding dovecot configuration for specific need which are as follows:- 1. I have IMAP folder with the name Sent Mail and i want whenever client uses any MUA to send mail from my server his mail must be kept in server's IMAP folder which is Sent Mail instead of local Sent folder. 2. Whenever user configures account in MUA, MUA automatically create some new folder like Junk Mail etc. while i am already using Spam folder to keep spam message in that folder so let me know how can i save myself from this. 3. Is there any thing which can also put deleted message in my server's Trash folder. Thanks

[Dovecot] Filtering virtual mailbox using other virtual mailbox?
Hi All,
my name is Giovanni and I am new to dovecot.
I have installed version 2.0 the past week and I find it very powerful.
I have started to play with the virtual mailbox plugin.
I was unable to do a virtual mailbox filtering out the contents of
other mailbox, for instance
I have a virtual/spam mailbox which filter out all the spam thanks to
spamassassin. This mailbox is virtual, its description is
INBOX
-Trash
-Trash/*
-Junk
subject SPAM
I'd like to do a simple virtual/ham mbox using this dovecot-virtual
INBOX
-virtual/spam
to: j...@gioorgi.com
but it seems not working. it does not filter the spam.
It is possible to do such thing, or I am trying to do something not
possible at all?
Thank you
