Re: Dovecot on Ubuntu 20.04

[spamvoll]

Hi,

sorry I should be more specific.
I'm on Ubuntu 18.04 and using the latest packages from repo.dovecot.com

But these are only available for bionic, not focal.
So I'm not sure if the bionic packages are working under focal.

I did not notice that ubuntu original packages are on 2.3.7 now.
So worst thing will be that after the upgrade to focal i need to downgrade
to 2.3.7 original ubuntu repo packages

Re: BUG: dsync and folder names with "@"

[spamvoll]

Hello,

the Webside says report bug to the Mailing List, but no reactions so far.

This Bug is really easy to reproduce.. just create a folder like an email
address "s...@mydom.net" and run a dsync backup.
It failes every time when it comes to that folder, if I delete that folder
it runs smoothly

BUG: dsync and folder names with "@"

[spamvoll]

Hello,

dovecot version: 2.3.9.2

When I use dsync:
/usr/bin/dsync -v -D -o plugin/quota= -f -u m...@email.dom backup
maildir:/tmp/mailbackup/Maildir
it always stops when it comes to a folder with an "@" in its name.
Error Message:
Warning: Mailbox changes caused a desync. You may want to run dsync again:
Remote lost mailbox GUID (maybe it was just deleted?)

I dont know if it makes a difference, but my dovecot uses mdbox and the
backup export is maildir.

[SIEVE] pipe :copy to external program with arguments

[spamvoll]

Hi all,

quick questions about sieve pipe:
I want to pipe spam messages to an external program with additional
parameters

my spamlearn.sieve script:

require ["vnd.dovecot.pipe", "copy", "imapsieve"];
pipe :copy "mybin" ["-h 127.0.0.1:4" , "markspam"];

I also tried:
pipe :copy "mybin" ["-h 127.0.0.1:4 markspam"];
pipe :copy "mybin" ["-h 127.0.0.1:4"] ["markspam"];
pipe :copy :args ["-h 127.0.0.1:4 markspam"] "mybin" ;

It never executes correct, it always ends with:
Error: sieve: Execution of script /my/path/to/spamlearn.sieve failed

So whats the correct syntax ?

What works is a single argument:
pipe :copy "myscript" ["markspam"];

Dovecot Version 2.3.2.1

2.3.1 -> "doveadm backup -A" not working

[spamvoll]

Hi,

I'm running 2.3.1 and trying to do a backup.
Wiki and manpage showes that -A will backup all mailboxes.

It seems that
"doveadm -Dv backup -A mdbox:/mnt/BACKUP/DOVECOT/"
is saving each mailbox to " /mnt/BACKUP/DOVECOT/" but after finishing one,
its overwriting the data from the previous user. So it ends with only the
mails from the last user processed.

I tried %u but thats not recognized and used as String in the  path.

 Does the TLS auth succeed, or is that where it hangs? The Tbird add-on as 
 protocol logging facility, so you could check that to find out where it 
 hangs exactly.

 Dovecot always logs why a connection gets disconnected. If the problem is 
 with TLS, then it logs what function failed in what error message. If the 
 problem isn't with TLS, it logs something else.. In any case I can't give any 
 guesses until I see what the logout message is.

Re: [Dovecot] Authentication with lower case username ONLY

[spamvoll]

check http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Variables - Modifiers

You can apply a modifiers for each variable (e.g. %Us = POP3):

* %L - lowercase
* %U - uppercase

2010/9/15 Leander S. i...@netocean.de:
  Hi,

 how do you guys force your users to authenticate with lower case letters
 ONLY? Or convert it?
 Is there a SASL Option to force that - or are you using scripts i.e. a bash
 script in combination with the command tr ... or a third solution I didn't
 think of yet?


 I'm using Postfix / Dovecot combination. Postfix is told to use Dovecots
 SASL Service to authenticate it's users.
 For my outgoing eMails I already wrote a script with tr which forms upercase
 usernames to lowercase ones ... but it's not enough. SpamAssassin is still
 confused and writes uppercase letters in it's Database etc. ... So that's
 why I'm looking for a more universal solution.


 P.S. I would basically prefer a convertation - but I would also be fine with
 a forced lower case auth system.

Re: [Dovecot] permissions on auth-userdb

[spamvoll]

The Question is if that Process needs to be root or not.
And as long as i dont know whos talking to that process and why it
runs as default as root i wouldnt touch it.

It would make sense if its running as root when userdb is pam to
access the files or its running as root because noone should have root
rights and so noone can read the whole userdb.
In that last case it would be really bad to switch the user from root
to vmail :)

In my case all mails are stored with user vmail, maybe user vmail
needs to be able to read the hole db

I dont know :) If someone know, let me know

   args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/home/MAILBOXES/%u/
 mail=/home/MAILBOXES/%u/mail
 }

 Had more or less the same fight with 1.2.9. I had to change auth user to the
 group 'shadow' (if /etc/shadow is owned by group shadow). Or run auth under
 the default user  'root'.

 In your case it has to do with the passdb and/or userdb you use. In my case
 I had the problems with local users via pam.

[Dovecot] permissions on auth-userdb

[spamvoll]

Hi..

im still trying to upgrade to 2.0.
Im getting:
dovecot: lda: Error: userdb lookup:
connect(/var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb) failed: Permission denied
(euid=1(vmail) egid=1(vmail) missing +r perm:
/var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb, euid is not dir owner)

the error is correct caus its owned by root. My Questions is who should own it ?
Im not sure how that works, what process/user calls the auth-userdb ?
The auth-userdb returns the args generated in master.conf, right ?

i think comment out the user and group setting in master.conf will fix
it but im not sure if that is the securest way.

the mails come from postfix via dovecot-lda

master.conf
service auth {
  # auth_socket_path points to this userdb socket by default. It's typically
  # used by dovecot-lda, doveadm, possibly imap process, etc. Its default
  # permissions make it readable only by root, but you may need to relax these
  # permissions. Users that have access to this socket are able to get a list
  # of all usernames and get results of everyone's userdb lookups.

[Dovecot] LDAP static userdb

[spamvoll]

hi..

im just testing 2.0 before upgrading to v1.2 :)

in auth-ldap.conf.ext i found

# If you don't have any user-specific settings, you can avoid the userdb LDAP
# lookup by using userdb static instead of userdb ldap, for example:
# doc/wiki/UserDatabase.Static.txt
#userdb {
  #driver = static
  #args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/var/vmail/%u
#}

On 1.2 im using LDAP lookup and everthing works like a charm.
user_attrs = homeDirectory=home,uid=mail=maildir:/home/MAILBOXES/%$/mail

On 2.0 is now tried to use this option cause all my mail are stored in
/home/MAILBOXES/%uid/mail
userdb {
  driver = static
  args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/home/MAILBOXES/%u/mail
}

and that doesnt work
log say:
dovecot: imap(hpeter): Error: user hpeter: Initialization failed:
mail_location not set and autodetection failed: Mail storage
autodetection failed with home=/home/MAILBOXES/hpeter/mail

Re: [Dovecot] LDAP static userdb

[spamvoll]

no idea if it matters but
the static userdb sets only the home=.
is it possible to set home= and mail=
because both souldnt be the same as Timo mentioned a few days ago

Re: [Dovecot] LDAP static userdb

[spamvoll]

ive added
args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/home/MAILBOXES/%u/ mail=/home/MAILBOXES/%u/mail

and it work.

Im not really sure about the hole LDAP thing :)

my conf:
uris = ldaps://ldap.example.org:636
dn = cn=dovecot server,ou=people,ou=Server,dc=example,dc=org
dnpass = hiddenpw
auth_bind = yes
ldap_version = 3
base = dc=example,dc=org
scope = subtree
user_attrs = homeDirectory=home,uid=mail=maildir:/home/%$/mail
user_filter = 
((objectClass=gosaMailAccount)(|(mail=%u)(gosaMailAlternateAddress=%u)(uid=%u)))
pass_attrs = uid=user,userPassword=password
pass_filter = ((objectClass=gosaMailAccount)(uid=%u))

(yea on 1.2 my home was /home/%uid but that suxx and i want to move it
to /home/MAILBOXES/%uid)

1) I have a user that can read the PW so i dont need auth_bind = yes, right?
2) user_* and pass_* i dont need them anymore cause its always:
home=/home/MAILBOXES/%u/
mail=/home/MAILBOXES/%u/mail

Re: [Dovecot] imap_acl for CentOS

[spamvoll]

can anyone provide a howto share mailboxes using acl's ?

i already setup private and shared namespace, but i have no idea how
to share a mailbox because no mailclient support the setacl command

 I sent an email a couple of days ago asking about a problem with ACL.
 The bottom line was, I think, that I'm missing imap_acl plugin.
 I installed Dovecot 1.0.7 using yum in CentOS 5.4.
 Do you know where can I get the imap_acl plugin lib?

 The IMAP ACL Extension was introduced in release 1.2. Therefore you need
 to upgrade to that, which you should do anyway due to the outdated package:

[Dovecot] Shared mailboxes

[spamvoll]

Hi..

can anyone give me a hind how to setup shared mailboxes.
I've already created the shared and private namespace.

But ive no idea how to share a mailbox.
Thunderbird and most other Clients seem not to support the setacl command.

so do i have to create a plaintext file with
user=theldapuseriwanttosharemybox rw ?

[Dovecot] dovecot-sieve and ldap user

[spamvoll]

hi..

im running dovecor 1.2.10 and dovecot-sieve 0.1.15

protocol lda {
..
  mail_plugins = sieve
}
plugin {

   sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve
   sieve_dir = ~/sieve
}

cat .dovecot.sieve
require fileinto;
if header :contains subject [VIRUS] {
fileinto VIRUS;
} else {
keep;
}

But mails dont get moved.
I use the master.cf to get postfix to use deliver

Does the sieve plugin use the home_dir returned from the ldap ?
And is it ok to use the deliver in master.cf and or do i have to set
mailbox_command = /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver
?

[Dovecot] ldap and mail_location

[spamvoll]

hi..

im running dovecot 1.2.9 and checking against an openldap.
i defined in dovecot.conf mail_location = maildir:/mail/%u

and now all mails are stored under /mail/my.e...@mydomain.com

how can i store them in /mail/ldapuid ?

these userdb and passdb settings drive me crazy..
looks like ldap is a bigger thing then i thougt :)

thx

Re: [Dovecot] ldap and mail_location

[spamvoll]

hi again..

user_filter = 
((objectClass=gosaMailAccount)(|(mail=%u)(gosaMailAlternateAddress=%u)))

this works to check if the account is valid but i cant figure out how
to set the maillocation
i think this is done in user_attrs
but no idea how to use the uid. i tryed user_attrs =
home=maildir:/mail/%uid but that did not work.
i tryed also to add a (..(uid=%uid)) to the user_filter but no luck..

any hinds or tips
