...pure-ftpd to give local users ftp access to their $HOMEs. To have pure-ftpd chroot into the user home i replaced /home/user with /home/user/./ in /etc/passwd. Unfortunately this breaks Dovecot this way: Oct 23 18:18:20 localhost dovecot: Invalid chroot directory '/home/foo' (user foo) (see valid_chroot_dirs in config file) and dovecot.conf says # ':' separated list of directories under which chrooting is allowed for mail # processes (ie. /var/mail will allow chrooting to /var/mail/foo/bar too). # This setting doesn't affect login_chroot or auth_chroot variables. # WARNING: Never add dir...

...3 box. Through SquirrelMail I can access my email - no problem. However my other users are getting this error message: ERROR : Connection dropped by imap-server. Query: CAPABILITY Looking in the maillog file for further error details gives me this: dovecot: chroot directory no included in valid_chroot_dirs: /home/user Looking through the dovecot.conf file I see where it says not to add in home directories under valid_chroot_dirs if the users have access to those directories. So I'm stuck now as to what I need to add to the conf file and I'm a little confused as to why it works for my email...

Greetings, I am configuring a new Dovecot installation, and the way the valid_chroot_dirs and mail_chroot variables affect the mail processes are a bit unclear to me. I was wondering if anyone could provide me with more specific details than the comments in the configuration file do, or maybe even recommend some values given my configuration. We have a Debian GNU/Linux system and a m...

Hello! Could somebody give some feedback on this configuration: - OpenBSD box with local ssh users. - /home directory mounted with nosuid,noexec. - postfix dropping mail in /home/username/mail/INBOX, with the UID/GID of the user. - dovecot: valid_chroot_dirs = /home default_mail_env = mbox:/home/%u/mail/:INBOX=/home/%u/mail/INBOX Are there any obvious ways for a local user to help dovecot escape the chroot jail? How can I check that dovecot is REALLY using /home as chroot jail for the imap process? Thanks! Bert Koelewijn
