While investigating Dovecot's deliver with Postfix, I encountered some behaviors making me wonder whether I really understand the purpose of that binary. So, if you allow... This is from Postfix' main.cf: mailbox_command = /usr/local/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/deliver -e -n This is my quick setup for Dovecot: # 1.2.rc4: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Darwin 9.7.0

Hello, Is there any way to easily check a master user's password, for itself, without having to refer to another user or to weak the security by allowing master users to log in for themselves? For example, this works: # doveadm auth test 'someuser*masteruser' Password: <enter master user's password here> passdb: someuser*masteruser auth succeeded but depends on the

Hello, 1. Considering a user_query similar to this one: SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE CASE '%s' WHEN 'lmtp' THEN ... and issuing following command: doveadm user -x service=lmtp someuser at example.com the log shows: SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE CASE 'doveadm' WHEN 'lmtp' THEN ... and the query of course fails. The same config with Dovecot 2.1.16 yields expected

Hello, I'm currently experimenting with this quota-status service configuration: service quota-status { client_limit = 1 executable = quota-status -p postfix # Let's make the default explicit. user = root unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/quota-policyd { user = postfix } } The idea is to run the service as root during the preliminary tests (at worst, since

Hello, Let's say dovecot.conf contains: mail_uid = dovemailer mail_gid = dovemailer mail_home = /some/path/%n mail_location = mbox:~/mboxes:INBOX=~/mboxes/inbox and that the password database query is of the form: password_query = \ SELECT \ passwd AS password, \ nickname AS user, \ mail_home AS userdb_home, \ mail_location AS userdb_mail, \ WHERE \ ... The database

Hi, Is there a configuration element that would allow me to change the dot-lock name for the user's /var/mail inbox when it is locked? dovecot (correctly) acquires <username>.lock, but I'm having a problem with procmail where some obscure code path is preventing procmail's acquisition of a lock when it's that default name in /var/mail. The issue is not permissions

Hi. For mbox, http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/mbox#Dovecot.27s_Metadata lists a numer of mail headers: - X-IMAPbase - X-IMAP - X-UID - Status - X-Status - X-Keywords - Content-Length that are treated specially by dovecot. It also suggests, that these should be stripped by the LDA (I guess in order that someone sending you such mail cannot set the status or keywords, or even "attack

Hello, I want to use dovecot as imap server with mbox storage format (described at [1]) but I also want to access (and modify!) those mbox files which are stored on server (and used by dovecot). What is correct way to read those mboxes? From wiki page [1] I read that I should ignore first message in mbox (which contains X-IMAPbase header) and mbox file is in mboxcl2 format. And what is

Hello Axel, but then I don't get it: I thought that "uid" and "gid" in the user_query where used to access the local FS, whereas the "unix_listener auth-userdb" are used to indicate under which owner/group must be auth-userdb run... although maybe I'm wrong :-S :-) What I'm looking forward to is to eliminate the need for returning these two fixed

Thank you for the response Axel. I will look into that. I did attempt to switch the PAM/Kerberos authentication to Dovecot LDAP authentication, but now performance is unbelievably slow. For example, with PAM/Kerberos, a user can log into webmail and have all of their emails/folders showing almost immediately. When using Dovecot LDAP, it takes literally 8-10 seconds to see the same thing. I

I did a mistake (shame on me). While migrating accounts on a new server, I didn't pay attention to a detail: sieve_max_actions, that I set to a low value for my testings, but then forgot to raise before the migration. As a result, several redirect-only accounts have now their inbox filled with messages that should have been redirected to "real people", then discarded. Would there

Hello, Still busy with details... Considering, as in my previous example, a password_query returning '!' or NULL for the "nologin" column, depending on an account's status (suspended or not). Let's consider a suspended user "some.user". In the case of a successful authentication, one has: sh-3.2# doveadm auth test some.user goodpassword; echo $? passdb:

My base concern may be illustrated with the help of that simple telnet session: # telnet 127.0.0.1 imap Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.

I?m considering moving from maildir to mdbox, but don?t quite see how I should do the conversion with minimal downtime. Our userdb is ldap, and the we use this setting to point to the users maildirectory: user_attrs = mailMessageStore=mail=maildir:%$:INDEX=/indexes/%1u/%1.1u/%u,mailQuota=quota_rule=*:storage=%$ i.e. every user has a "mailMessageStore" attribute in LDAP that points to

Hi, I originally picked mdbox because I had the impression from reading about it on the mailing list that it was more performant and that it would conserve disc space. But lately i found mailboxes have nearly double the storage as reported. I mean, IMAP QUOTA reports around 900MB for one account that has over 2GB when I inspect the mail location of the user using the linux command `du`

v2.1 supports now multiple LDAP fields in a template e.g.: user_attrs = \ homeDirectory=home, \ uidNumber=uid, \ gidNumber=gid, \ =mail=%{ldap:mailboxFormat}:%{ldap:homeDirectory} which is the same as: user_attrs = \ =home=%{ldap:homeDirectory}, \ =uid=%{ldap:uidNumber}, \ =gid=%{ldap:gidNumber}, \ =mail=%{ldap:mailboxFormat}:%{ldap:homeDirectory} I was also thinking about

I was going to experiment with ACLs when I faced a small problem. It is just sufficient to enable the acl plugin for getting the behavior described hereafter. When launching dovecot from the command line, one gets: sh-3.2# /usr/local/dovecot/sbin/dovecot -F ILoading modules from directory: /usr/local/dovecot-1.2.rc6/lib/ dovecot/imap IModule loaded:

Hello. I'm install latest dovecot 1.2 from hg repo. I have many messages in maildir+ format. I migrate some folders to dbxo format using instructions from http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/dbox. But in two folders i'm delete index.cache and index.log files, this is my mistake. Is that possible to recover this files (regenerate) or use my messages from maildir with dbox? Thank You for
