similar to: How do I use a username/password plain text file as authentication backend?

Hi! I have a server with a few thousand mailboxes (for a few hundred domains) on it. The usernames are following several naming conventions: username_domain domain_username username_domain.tld username-domain domain.username The reason for this chaos is that the accounts were set up on different mailservers, some imail, some linux, some with virtualmin and some manually and

very intrigued by your solution Timo, have attempted something similar in the past to no avail. When I tried I was unable to retain the user at domain when setting the domain as extra field - protected is new to me and can't find documentation - but also doesn't work :( # cat passwd.domains 10.100.1.1:::::::domain:protected=foo.org 10.100.1.2:::::::domain:protected=bar.org # cat

Hi, I'm trying to allow domain-less logins for a multi-domain virtual IMAP server, and wondering if I can automatically infer the domain (value of variable %d) from the local IP (%l) or the hostname used by the client when connecting to my server. Let's say I have two host names: mail.foo.org (10.0.0.100) and mail.bar.com (10.0.0.200), with forward and reverse DNS configured to resolve A

Hello, I have a question regarding the password field of the passwd-file [1]. According to the wiki, the password field assumes a {SCHEME} of CRYPT when the {SCHEME} is not prefixed to this field. So, a passwd-file like: user:password: . . . ? is equivalent to: user:{CRYPT}password: . . . Does that mean an example passwd-file with NEITHER {SCHEME} or password, like: user at

Hello I am attempting to use an external IMAP server for authentication, on Dovecot 2.3.16 (7e2e900c1a), running on Ubuntu 22.04. The external server requires usernames of the format: user at domain However, my local users, where the mail is actually drawn from, are of the format: user (passwd file driven). I was able to log in with just "user", and have it both authenticate

I need to implement quota. I read as much as I could including http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/SimpleVirtualInstall But my current /etc/passwd file does not have the password in it as shown in dovecot docs ... there is an x where the password should be. I created a program that creates a passwd file in the proper format with the proper extra quota fields for all users (except it has an x where

Yes and No. It's confusing to me which is why I ask. Per my initial email my password source is PAM. It's the userdb I'm concerned about ... which dovecot is using /etc/passwd. So dovecot is getting user information from passwd file; password information from PAM. I need to add extra fields for qouta but can't add them to /etc/passwd so I have to create a passwd with the extra

Hi List, I have a problem with dovecot 2.2.12 and sieve-filter call: su -c 'sieve-filter -D -v -W -C -u account at domain.tld /var/vmail/domain.tld/account/.sieve INBOX.Refilter' vmail gives me sieve-filter(vmail): Error: user account at domain.tld: Auth USER lookup failed sieve-filter(vmail): Fatal: Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. on log file I see

Is it possible to run a bash script for authentication where a 0 exit code indicates success and a non-zero is failure? What I'm trying to do is create a shadow IMAP server that authenticates against a different server. That way my server will use the same passwords as an existing server. So what I would need is for dovecot to pass the username and password to my script, I attempt to log

Hello all! First of all - sorry for my english. :-) Im working now on migration from cyrus to dovecot(v1.07). Everything work`s fine for now, but some parameters at dovecot conf a mystical for me. :-) dovecot-ldap.conf: user_attrs = mail #,homeDirectory,,,, user_filter = (&(objectClass=qmailUser)(mail=%u)) pass_attrs = mail,userPassword=password pass_filter =

Posted Monday 7/25. Haven't seen a response. Trying again: --- This is a noobie question, so bear with me if it's not worded correctly: Primary Requirements: 1) I'd like to have two namespaces - one private/per-user, and one public (visible by all logged-in users). The public mailbox(s) would be used to distribute information to all users. 2) I'd like both

Hallo List Users, I am curious if there is a way to rewrite domain name to another domain name. My goal is to provide authentication and mailboxes for the synonymous domains in a single source while keeping all other domains separate. I have setup: auth_username_format = %Lu mail_location = /var/vmail/%d/%u/Maildir in userdb/passdb (passwd-file): /etc/dovecot/%d/users Say I

Hi all my Linux system: opensuse 11.2 my mail system: postfix - dovecot my key problem since several days googling and testing is: how can I have a pop account with dovecot for a user if that user is NO linux system user it appears to me that most auth mechanisms somehow expect a mail user also to be a linux system user either to be found in the /etc/passwd or /etc/alias on my 4 servers I

I'm a bit further along but haven't figured out why Authentication is still failing. I've tried a telnet to port 143 and openssl connection to 993. The command I issued, per the debugging page on the wiki, is: a login info at aesoft-sbcs.com crap Here is a snapshot from my logs (yup second try and blank lines to make it easier for me to read).

I'm trying to use virtual domains and I'm suffering a disconnect. I have two domains - foo.com and bar.com. On the filesystem, they are located at /var/mail/foo.com/ and /var/mail/bar.com/. Users are located at /var/mail/foo.com/john/, /var/mail/bar.com/jane/, etc. There are two password files with <user>:<scheme><password> entries. The scheme is {PLAIN}. They are
