Afternoon all. I'm seeing a segfault in dovecot 2.2.12 (debian package 1:2.2.12-2). I can log into dovecot fine with mutt, but the segfaults seem to occur when postfix (2.11.0, debian package 2.11.0-1+b1) tries to deliver a message. This was working fine under 2.2.9 (I can downgrade to that and delivery works). Can anyone help? Doveconf -n, and backtrace follow.

Hi there, I've been seeing this for quite a while now, but only today finally got off my lazy you-know-what and did a backtrace. Here's the requested info as per http://dovecot.org/bugreport.html: * Dovecot version [root at airframe]:~# dovecot --version 1.0.3 * Operating system or Linux distribution name Slackware 10.2, both kernel 2.6.21.3 and dovecot self-compiled * CPU

Dear dovecot maintainers: I'm using SSL client certificates together with a checkpassword scripts to authenticate our users. My problem is: In the checkpassword script the AUTH_USER environment variable will either contain the username that was configured in the mailclient (if auth_ssl_username_from_cert=false) or the username from the certificate (if auth_ssl_username_from_cert=true). I

Folks: I've been running Dovecot 2.0.7 on a Qmail / Vpopmail installation built on Debian Squeeze, with no problems for about a year. Dovecot is used for IMAP/S auth only. Dovecot is built from source. I just upgraded to 2.0.15 but it segfaults whenever an IMAP auth is attempted, regardless of the user who tries to login, whether by webmail (Roundmail) Android phone (K-9 Mail) or iPad

Hello All, I've been studying dovecot for replacing my company's current system and I got a little worried about an aspect of the dovecot's design. I was surprised that dovecot doesn't use prefork for its mail processes, forking a new processes for each new client connection. Talking in the #dovecot channel I was gave a scenario of a system supporting ~40k users with 4 servers

hi, i'm trying to use passdb ldap and userdb prefetch, using the userdb_ prefixes in pass_attrs, and i get: passdb didn't return userdb entries looking at the code at auth/userdb-prefetch.c i see: if (auth_request->userdb_reply == NULL) { if (auth_request->auth->userdbs->next == NULL) { /* no other userdbs */

Hi guys, I had a look in the sources about this problem. the problem seems to be the ldap_escape function that is called from ldap_verify_plain_auth_bind_userdn(..) I dont really know if this escaping is needed at this point, but with this change it works for me. No other problems discovered so far. could somebody, who is deeper in the sources give me a hint if this will make some troubles?

I'm trying to hack together a new authentication back-end and I wanted to know if it's possible to pass values from passdb to userdb in the auth_request structure at authentication time. I modified struct auth_request in auth-request.h to contain a new variable and it gets set properly in my passdb, however the value is not there when checking for it userdb. I'm very novice when it

Hello everyone. I'm switching to dovecot from courier-imap and after some problems with Apple Mail client, now everything seems to be fine. The only problem that I have not solved yet is to check also the service (pop3, pop3s, imap, imaps) in the authentication phase. In courier-authlib I do this: MYSQL_SELECT_CLAUSE SELECT username, \ password, \

Hi, I've writing an passdb/userdb plugin (see my previous question about a plugin authenticating via a UNIX socket protocol). Now... the protocol spoken over this socket is JSON-based and I'm using a SAX-like event based parser which maintains a parse context between callbacks. Now... I'm a little bit in doubt about which dovecot memory management method would be best for data

My log is full of blocks like this: auth(default): pam(?): PAM child process 13576 timed out, killing it auth(default): PAM: kill(13576) failed: No such process Often, this is recorded for several pids at once. Occasionally, there's a single burst when a virtual user logs in, immediately before pam_authenticate() fails and checkpassword is executed. When this happens, pam() contains the

Hi, First, I'm not sure if dovecot should alter this, but it seems vpopmail writes the IP into the 'remote_ip' field instead of the auth type. Dovecot still writes the auth type.? I want both. So I modified my vpopmail install to write an additional field into the lastauth table.? My custom vpopmail writes the remote IP into remote_ip, and the auth type into a 'type'

A little problem, which is bugging me: when using PAM authentication, Dovecot (0.99.5) does not set the PAM_RHOST item, so the PAM modules cannot know who the client is. We need this for some PAM module doing access control. Changing passdb-pam.c to pam_set_item it seems trivial, but I'm bugged as to how to get the client name from there. It seems not to be available in the auth_request

Hi, I was looking into the new Authentication Policy feature: https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/Policy I had kinda hoped that I would be able to enfore this in a proxy running in front of several backends. This proxy does not authenticate. It use "nopassword". But I realize that the "succes" reported in the final authpolicy req. (command=report) is not what is

Hi, I'm having issues getting the multiple authentication methods of dovecot 1.0-test65 to work correctly on NetBSD. I am combining a MySQL database of virtual host accounts with the system password database of local machine accounts. Both work correctly when enabled on their own, but when enabled together only the one listed first in the "auth default" section of dovecot.conf

I have recently begun playing with Dovecot (1.0.beta8) and have run into an interesting scenario. The way my email system is set up is that users of different domains have completely different base dn's. For instance, if a user is part of test.com the bind dn would be uid=user,ou=People,dc=test,dc=com. The bind dn for user at domain.com would be uid=user,ou=People,dc=domain,dc=com. I
