...I was trying to shy away from using pam_ldap as there is no need to tie the user in ldap directly to the filesystem. The problem is it looks like the samba ldap module requires a specific ldap schema to function, whereas currently I map needed functionality to the ldap schema as depicted below # fxmulder at nsab.us, gwis dn: cn=fxmulder at nsab.us,dc=gwis objectClass: top objectClass: person objectClass: posixAccount accountid: 65534 uidNumber: 65534 gidNumber: 65534 active: 1 cn: fxmulder at nsab.us loginShell: /usr/sbin/nologin sn: nsab.us wenable: 1 wpass: testpass whome: /www/nsab.us/nsab.us/fx...

Is it possible to query LDAP differently for different protocols? I am using dovecot for both pop3/imap and lmtp deliveries and there are different enable flags in ldap for them. I tried wrapping user_filter inside the protocols in the file dovecot-ldap.conf.ext as shown below but this didn't seem to work. protocol lmtp { user_filter =

Is there any documentation anywhere on creating a new storage plugin besides looking through the existing storage code? It's a pretty extensive task and any documentation would help. Thanks

I am messing around with gluster management and I've added a couple bricks and did a rebalance, first fix-layout and then migrate data. When I do this I seem to get a lot of failures: gluster> volume rebalance MAIL status Node Rebalanced-files size scanned failures status --------- -----------

I am looking through the logging options and wondering if there are a couple of things that we can do 1. Logouts don't seem to show the IP address of the logout, we typically see multiple sessions at a time and wondering if there is a way to tie the logouts to an IP 2. POP logouts show the number of messages retrieved/deleted but I don't see a way to do this with IMAP, is there a logout

Anyone know how to setup dovecot with mdbox so that it can be used through shared storage from multiple hosts? I've setup a gluster volume and am sharing it between 2 test clients. I'm using postfix/dovecot LDA for delivery and I'm using postal to send mail between 40 users. In doing this, I'm seeing these errors in the logs Mar 21 09:36:29 test-gluster-client2 dovecot:

Is there any way to still be able to login/delete email via dovecot-imap when the user's filesystem quota is exceeded? We just moved from courier where this was still possible but now a user over quota can login but cannot get a list of messages and the logs show this: May 27 10:24:45 pop1.gwtc.net dovecot: POP3(cody at howaboutnow.net) [64.251.165.209]:

I have made some changes to the expunge logging as client->mailbox is set to NULL prior to one of the relevant calls. The change leaves mailbox in the function now and adds client. The modified patch to 1.2.11 is included. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I'm messing around with lazy expunge and I just had a couple of questions. If I delete messages or folders with messages, I see them being moved to the expunge namespace, but if I delete an empty folder, all traces of it seem to disappear. Is there a way to move empty folders to the expunge namespace also? My second question is in regards to restoring folders. If I try to execute the imap

I have setup director and a backend dovecot service on the same machine using different ports. The backend service is listening on the default 24, 110 and 143 for lmtp, pop3 and imap respectively. Director is listening on 10024, 10110 and 10143 for the same respective services. I can get this setup to work if I have one backend server on a different IP listening on 10024, it seems director

We have an LDAP server that contains AES encrypted passwords. So far I've been able to use this by adding a passdb module that encrypts the user's password prior to ldap comparison. Now I am looking at supporting client-side encrypted passwords. To do this I need to decrypt the password returned by LDAP. Is there a way to insert a module to do this decryption between ldap returning and

I have an ldap server for which each entry includes the email address and the username portion of the email address for authentication. Authentication works by username if the username is unique among all the entries. I need to now add some users which must authenticate even if the username is not unique. I figured one way to do this would be to add a second user/pass db which puts further

Any thoughts to adding a json formatter to the doveadm output?

I am trying to make a mysql standby setup with 2 machines, one primary and one hot standby, which both share disk for the data directory. I used tunefs.ocfs2 to change the number of open slots to 1 since only one machine should be accessing it at a time. This way it is fairly safe to assume one shouldn't clobber the other's data. Only problem is, if one node dies, the mount lock still

Upon thinking, the variable names may not be descriptive enough as `host` is a bit ambiguous and `deleted_count` may refer to a different command than expunge in imap and may be valid to track at some point so I have changed `host` to `client_ip` and `deleted_count` in imap to `expunged_count`, below is the modified diff for version 1.2.11. diff -crB dovecot-1.2.11.orig/src/imap/client.c

I'm playing with running dovecot over NFS and I am running into some issues. I have followed the guide at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/NFS and my setup includes 1 nfs server and 1 client running postfix/dovecot. In testing I am running postal via the command: postal -t 10 -c 10 localhost users399 The test file has a list of 399 users to deliver to. I've provided a sample of the errors
