The wiki <http://wiki.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase/ExtraFields/Proxy> page says this: "The connections created to the destination server can't be TLS/SSL encrypted.". Hrmm. Right now, with perdition, I'm forcing the use of STARTTLS on the internal connections. I'd just as soon get rid of perdition (to have one less moving part in my architecture), but I need the

In the course of experimenting with getting dovecot proxying to work, I took a guess at two things. These work fine for me, but now I'm wondering if they are "as designed" or just a lucky accident that might stop working in the future. (I'm using dovecot 1.0.rc17, which is the included version in Ubuntu Feisty. (I am aware that some details change in v1.1, and I'm not

We are looking at deploying several pop/imap servers to house the mail for 15,000 or more mailbox accounts. We are contemplating on the design and are looking at using MySQL auth (we already have a MySQL environment in place for our user auth to live) and proxy_maybe so each server can proxy for all the others and we just have a network load balancer distribute the incoming connections to all of

When using proxy_maybe CRAM-MD5 authentication fails when the connection is proxied. Is this expected behavior? Is proxy_maybe too simplified for this case? We're using SQL so I could rewrite the query with IFs to fake proxy_maybe and return the password as NULL and nologin as Y, but if it works that way couldn't it work with proxy_maybe? This works: password_query = \ SELECT NULL AS

Hi all, I have some IMAP servers fronted with separate perdition processes, and it would be ideal if I could collapse this down to having dovecot do both the IMAP proxying and the IMAP serving at the same time on the same IP addresses. One of the fields in my LDAP entries contains the canonical name of the server that hosts their mailbox, and if I follow the manual at

Does anyone know if dovecot support regex lookups for proxy/proxy_maybe, rather than mysql/ldap etc? I've been comparing it with perdition to see which one might be better for us to do layer7 username switching. Perdition supports the ability to not have any auth/db looks, but rather just a regex file that parses the usernames as they come in and forwards to the particular machine on the

Hi Folks, I spent quite some time yesterday understanding how proxy works along with the director. I came to the conclusion that proxy_maybe and director cannot be used together, but this isn?t a true incompatibility so much as caused by the way things are handled and the order they are processed in. The way proxy_maybe works is that it is processed by the auth provider once it gets the

Hello. 1. I have two identically hosts 2. I have set up replication between two hosts 3. I have 'Y' AS proxy_maybe in password_query. 4. password_query returns one of this one hosts 5. I set this parameters in dovecot config: disable_plaintext_auth = yes ssl = yes auth_mechanisms = plain login for enforce use encrypted connections by client programs.

Hello, I'm using proxy_maybe and auth_default_realm. It seems that when a user logs in without the domain name, relying on auth_default_realm, and the "host" field points to the local server, I get the Proxying loops to itself error. It does work as expected - log on to the local server without proxying, if the user does include the domain name in the login. (IP's and

Hi all, We have Exim using Dovecot for authentication. Dovecot, in turn, consults a custom internal server that answers Dovecot?s userdb queries. When IMAP connections arrive, for some users we want to forward those connections--without authentication--to an external IMAP server. For these users, we return ?proxy_maybe? and ?nopassword? in the authn response from our userdb server. This tells

Hi, I've got a problem with dovecot on an Intel Mac OSX box. Basically, I was running an older verion (0.8.?, I think), and everything was fine. Then, when I upgraded to 1.0.0 via MacPorts, I found that periodically the system gets into a state where it simply stops dealing with IMAP requests. This tends to manifest itself as Thunderbird simply stalling, not fetching any new

Is there any way to pass things like "quota=" for the quota plugin to the deliver LDA via the command line or as an environment variable or whatever? I've got all the info I need in my MTA to avoid a userdb lookup in the LDA, but I still have to do the userdb query to get the per-user quota number (the default quota works fine, of course). -- bill-dovecot at carpenter.ORG

The wiki <http://wiki.dovecot.org/Iptables> leads me to believe that the only way to configure dovecot to listen for the same protocol on multiple ports is via external redirection (iptables or similar). Is that so, or can dovecot be directly configured to listen on multiple ports? Here's a concrete example of what I'm trying to accomplish. Our environment uses plaintext

I just committed a couple of features that will make life easier for some types of proxying setups: 1. IMAP proxying has already for a while supported sending local/remote IP/port to backend server, which can use it for logging and other purposes. I've now implemented this for POP3 as well, although only the remote IP/port is forwarded, not local IP/port. I implemented this also for LMTP in

Hi list, I found relevant documentation regarding DebugInfo creation in the LLVM IR bytecode. It can be done for compileunits, functions, and other constructs, with the help of DIBuilder class. However I can't save debug information related to individual llvm::Instructions. I tried DebugLoc, DILocation setting directly with setMetadata(). I tried other ways, for e.g.:

Hi, I was a happy user of Peter Parks' package (see http://www.chip.org/ ~ppark/Supplements/PNAS05/) and could compile it without error under Mac OS X 10.4. I then had a disk crash and had to re-install the developer tools and now I get hideous messages such as the one below. I have tried installing an earlier version of Mac OS X developer tools. No joy, Could anyone put me out of

About 2 percent of the time I use fix() to edit a function that is sitting in .RData I get the response: > fix(qss) Error in edit(name, file, editor) : problem with running editor vi when I try to close the editing session. I used to think that these were always cases where there was some syntactical error with the edited file, but this is not the case. I realize that one surefire way to

Hi, I have two load-balanced dovecot servers using a single NFS mount. The version is 1.2.11. I chose this so that if one server goes down the other will take up the load, and if my load is too much for one server I just have to add more identical servers. It works, but I wish to move to SAN storage because the NFS server is exhibiting irregular performance. (I spent a lot of time with tcpdump to

Hi, I have been reading the acl documentation and it seems that a "connect acl" is not available. I need to limit the users that can login in an IP number, is that posible with dovecot 1.0? (i.e. only these users can login from the Internet) Or a new plugin should be written? It is complicated to do that? Thanks Oliver -- Oliver Schulze L. | http://tinymailto.com/oliver Asuncion

Hi help is preciated, PROBLEM The dovecot-ldap.conf of "proxy server A" is working when the "host" attribute is the FQDN of other server: pass_attrs = uid=user,userPassword={SSHA}password,\ =proxy_maybe=,maildrop=host,=port=143,=destuser=%u,=starttls=any-cert pass_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%u)) CASES When the "host" attribute is the
