[Dovecot] authenticate plain and utf-8 with special chars
Hi, I experienced some problems with authenticate. seems like the mail clients like thunderbird send their base64 string in ISO- encoding, which doesnt work on my dovecot setup if there are some Umlauts I am not able to login as ömer for example If I authenticate from telnet with an base64 encoded utf-8 string like 'echo -en \0ömer\0Start12 |base64' everything works fine -dovecot 2.1.7 -userdb is an openldap which queries an windows AD so results are in utf8, I think. any clues at which point to fix this are welcome ;)

Re: [Dovecot] [GoLugTech] thunderbird
On Mon, 30 Jul 2012 23:43:49 -0400, Chris Clifton said: Hi all, Do I read it correctly that thunderbird funding is being cut back by mozilla? I'm not on a linux mail client yet, wondering what others are using in ubuntu for mail client, I need multiple pop3 profiles, good html support, fast indexing and searching, solid gpg support and all the usual bells and whistles. Evolution seems to be in pretty widespread use. Wondering what others like and use heavily. Hi Chris, I tried Evolution once about 10 years ago, and it was too complex and comprehensive for me to understand. The centerpiece of my emailing activity is a Dovecot IMAP server on my daily driver desktop computer. The way it works is that fetchmail grabs all my email from my various POP accounts, pushes them through procmail, whose filters distribute the emails into the proper Dovecot IMAP directories (and also /dev/null stuff from PITA people). As far as I know, my Dovecot has never malfunctioned. Currently, I access my local IMAP with Claws-Mail. Claws is capable, robust, and does what I need without being an ecological disaster like Kmail or intermittently pig slow like Thunderbird. Claws' configuration is difficult to wrap your head around, and very much in need of better documentation, but so far, thanks to a knowledgeable and helpful user community on the mailing list, I've been able to make almost every config change to speed my interaction with Claws. My one complaint about Claws that can't be cured by documentation is its propensity to do everything with one process and one thread, so while you're sending an email or scanning your IMAP, you cannot look at other emails. I also wanted their powerful search to be able to recurse folders, and when nobody volunteered to do it, I tried to do it myself. Making something recursive sounds like simply a matter of writing a simple loop around the existing functionality, but what I found out is, at least this part of Claws was written in a manner resembling MVC, with process and UI completely commingled. For that reason I was unable to make it recursive. I have Claws on my daily driver and all my laptops. Thanks to Kevin Korb's instructions, on the laptops I was able to tell Claws its IMAP server was at 127.0.0.1. I pinholed my OpenBSD/pf firewall appliance to port forward incoming ssh to my daily driver. Then, on my laptop, if I'm at home and on the LAN, I run the following inhouse.sh sudo ssh -NTL 993:127.0.0.1:993 slitt@192.168.1.88 While on the road I run this travelling.sh: sudo ssh -NTL 993:127.0.0.1:993 slitt@99.99.99.99 In the preceding, 99.99.99.99 is the IP address my ISP gave me, while 192.168.1.88 is the LAN IP address of my daily driver. This makes 127.0.0.1:993 get pushed through ssh to the ISP supplied internet address or the LAN address. So I can use Claws to interact with my daily driver desktop anywhere I go. I'm extremely pleased with this setup. My IMAP tree is trivial to back up, and gives me the assurance that if Claws-Mail ever commits suicide the way Kmail did when they went to Kmail2, I can simply plug in a different IMAP enabled email client. Meanwhile, Claws gives me an extremely productive and easy to use user interface. With my client/server setup, I no longer need to copy all my email too and from the laptop when travelling. I'm going to present on my remote use of my daily driver desktop Dovecot, using Claws and ssh, at tomorrow night's GoLUG meeting.

Your mail_location setting looks a little bit strange to me.
I'd suggest to use: mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
If that shouldn't solve the issue, make Dovecot more verbose:
mail_debug = yes

Looks like you're using system users. Each mail then needs to be written
using different permissions, so hard linking can't work.
I am afraid this is incorrect:
The code that determines if Dovecot even attempts to use hard links is in:
http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.1/file/f74557336910/src/lib-storage/mail-copy.c#l101
So you could make it work if you chmod 0770 all of your maildir directories and
chgrp them to the same group.

Director process gets started for the backend installation where it of

attempting to connect to /var/run/dovecot/director-admin instead of
/var/run/dovecot-proxy/director-admin.
Hi Timo,
Thanks for reply.
That's right: strace shows that director process is a child of non-proxy
dovecot (pid 7089) which is should not be happening. And I don't have any
cronjob running.
Might we need just update dovecot wiki that if someone runs dovecot and
dovecot-proxy then they have to be installed in different folders as
separate binaries otherwise one instance cross over another somehow
magically. :)
I have several such setups and they don't have this problem, so you've managed
to create something that tries to connect there. One easy way to make sure this
never happens is to just disable the socket:
service director {
unix_listener director-admin {
mode = 0
}
}

On 20.7.2012, at 15.46, Jürgen Obermann wrote: mail_location = mdbox:/dovecot/storage%h:INDEX=/dovecot/index%h .. As expected the index files now reside under /dovecot/index%h/mailboxes/, but the path /dovecot/storage%h/mailboxes/ also contains for every user and every mailbox name a directory which in turn contains only an empty subdirectory 'dbox-Mails'. These directories seem to me to sum up to a lot of unneded infrstructure objects. I tried to delete these empty directories, but dovecot did not like that and stopped to work. So somehow they are necessary, in spite of setting a separate index file location. So my question is, could these empty directories be avoided, perhaps in a future version? No plans to do it. The empty directories under /dovecot/storage are used to find out what mailboxes exist. And in some setups those directories aren't always empty (e.g. dovecot-acl files go there).

Re: [Dovecot] BUG: LDAP extension failed to authenticate if 'base' DN configuration is empty ''
Dear Timo, Thank you very much for your kind work. I apologize, my previous statement were wrong. At least on ApacheDS 1.5.7, it doesn't search entries using the '' base DN (it doesn't give error though, just cannot return results, ApacheDS requires the search base to be in a partition). However, your patch would be great for servers who support the '' search base DN. If I may ask, would you improve it further to accept multiple bases? I'm not sure what the proper character separator would be, but I think something like this would work : base = dc=prd,dc=berbatik,dc=com | dc=stg,dc=berbatik,dc=com The proposed configuration above asks to try the two search bases in succession, whichever first succeeds get logged in, else fails like usual. I hope it's okay with you. I'll definitely help with the testing.

You can already do this by creating multiple passdb/userdb ldap sections with different config files. Searching multiple bases requires doing multiple LDAP lookups anyway.
Re: [Dovecot] BUG: LDAP extension failed to authenticate if 'base' DN configuration is empty ''
Dear Timo, Thank you for your information about multiple sections! I didn't realize that was possible. Yes, your patch will work on at least ApacheDS 2.0.0-M7 (see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-1742 ) and I would appreciate it very much !

Re: [Dovecot] doveadm director move behaviour

Although a doveadm director status user now shows me that this user is directed to the new server, doveadm who in the temporal server shows me that the user is actually connected to it, although messages are delivered to it through is correct server. So I have had to manually kick that users in the temporal servers. Is this the expected behaviour of the move command for director? Is there any way to also force the kick of the imap/pop user's connection in the temporal server? Do you see any errors in logs? Especially: director: Error: connect(ipc) failed: Permission denied Looks very familiar to me. I'm having the same problem as Angel with director move that I have to kick the user logged into the proxy. Plus I'm also getting the ipc permission denied errors you mentioned. Regards Daniel

Are you sure the problem isn't that the old mails already have a wrong S value and the errors happen when Dovecot tries to read them? at my recent onwledge mixing compressed new mails from my sent folder, and older uncompressed ones ( which are shown nice both in tb ), with some copy action in a new folder from another client leads to wrong S and tb does not display them any longer sometime, perhaps a double zip happens? It would help to know how to reproduce this on an entirely empty mail account. i will try to test, but first i have to deal with now broken maildirs i try disable zlip plugin now ,as workaround hopefully this does not lead to more problems on old maildirs , and fix the problem with new mail -- Best Regards MfG Robert Schetterer
