Ah, right.
If I create ~/Maildir/{cur,new,tmp} manually, then running
/usr/libexec/dovecot/imap does actually work.
(I did have a ~/Maildir on this test machine, but it only included one
mailing list folder which I'd been using as a test case for a QRESYNC
bug a few months ago.)
Thanks.

[Dovecot] --exec-mail
Most of my IMAP access is achieved by 'ssh $mailhost exec dovecot --exec-mail imap'. I'm testing Dovecot 2.0, and this doesn't seem to work any more — and I can't seem to work out how to make it work. The wiki page at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Upgrading/2.0 has no mention of it. I looked through the git history to find the commit that broke it and see if I could find the replacement that way, but it was the commit entitled 'Initial commit for v2.0 master rewrite.', and wasn't particularly edifying. Once upon a time in the dim and distant past, I believe I used to run /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap directly. But that doesn't set the environment up correctly, so isn't the right way to do it... is it? -- dwmw2

[Dovecot] $MAIL environment variable to override mail_location works in v1.2.16 but not in v2.0.7 for /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap
Hi, For the past day, I have been researching about making dovecot to support mailfront (http://untroubled.org/mailfront/) imapfront-auth natively and able to use mailfront imapfront-auth with dovecot imap v1.2.16 without starting any dovecot related services and no /etc/dovecot.conf file is required. More information about this can be read at: http://lists.untroubled.org/?list=bgware&cmd=showthread&month=201011&threadid=elpfjlnilcganfkokehg However, same trick can't be used for dovecot v2.0.7. First error is /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf must be exists so I just simply touch /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf with empty content to bypass that error. I noticed v2.0.7 is not using $MAIL environment variable to override mail_location? I have read the following: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailLocation Any idea to override mail_location setting? I have tried various setting of environment variables such as below: 8<--8<--8<--8<- #!/bin/sh # $MAIL, $HOME, $MAILDIR, $MAILBOX are the same in mailfront # imapfront-auth if [ -n "$MAIL" ]; then # make dovecot imap escape colon by replacing single : to :: export MAIL=maildir:`echo $MAIL | sed 's@:@::@g'` fi export USERDB_KEYS="$USERDB_KEYS mail" # For knowing all env. uncomment the below line and # see /tmp/imapd-log.txt # printenv >>/tmp/imapd-log.txt exec "$@" 8<--8<--8<--8<- The above script is being placed between imapfront-auth and dovecot imap (/usr/libexec/dovecot/imap). Thanks for any kind assistance. Kindest regards, Giam Teck Choon

If your Postfix authentications went through Cyrus SASL, then I don't know what it logs.
Re: [Dovecot] dovecot dictionary attacks
Timo, Yes postfix is configured for SASL so the spammer ip was able to relay email after it obtained the account info. My concern is how the spammer got the user/pass in the 1st place since nowhere on the dovecot logs do I see that particular user attempting to login with the wrong/correct password etc. I should be able to see all login attempts correct if the user/pass was obtained through a dict. attack? Is that's the case then most likely the user/password was obtained from the user's PC and not guessed on the mail server. I am trying to make sense of what happened and to make sure im not overlooking something on dovecot. -Original Message- From: Timo Sirainen [mailto:t...@iki.fi] Sent: Wednesday, November 10, 2010 8:22 PM To: PA Cc: dovecot@dovecot.org Subject: Re: [Dovecot] dovecot dictionary attacks On 10.11.2010, at 23.03, PA wrote: > However on my smtp mail server that ip is already sending out all sorts of > spam with the sasl username of Paramus.

Well, probably obvious, but since you didn't explicitly say: You have configured Postfix to use Dovecot for authentication, not Cyrus SASL, right?..
[Dovecot] version_ignore=yes
Hello, When upgrading Dovecot, I get this: Dovecot version mismatch: Master is v2.0.6, imap-login is v2.0.7 (if you don't care, set version_ignore=yes) This should not occur as version_ignore=yes is in dovecot.conf, at the top. Cheers, Olivier
Re: [Dovecot] Sieve problem with managesieve
Hi, "header :is From" compares against the whole From: header. You only want to test the containing email address. See address This lets you match on only an address field's email address, not its associated name. For example, I could send an email as "John Smith" >. The test header "From" :is "jsm...@example.com" would be false because that is not the entire header. But address "From" :is "jsm...@example.com " would be true because that is the entire address. Check the RFC and search for "address", there you will find explanations and examples http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc3028.html Michael On Nov 11, 2010, at 11:13 AM, Simone Caruso wrote: On 10/11/2010 21:14, A.L.E.C wrote: On Wed, 10 Nov 2010 19:01:02 +0100, Simone Caruso wrote: I have a problem with a sieve script.. my config is dovecot 1.2.15 with managesieve, and roundcube. if anyof (header :contains "From" "x...@example.com") if anyof (header :is "From" "t...@ardeek.com") ":is" is an absolute match, ":contains" is a substring match. http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5228#section-2.7.1 Of course, but with the SAME header "From:" ( From: "AA" > for example) :contains match but :is _don't_ match... i don't understand the reason :/ For my logic "if anyof (header :is "From" "x...@example.com")" should match "From: "AA" ", but in practice that script don't. -- Simone Caruso IT Consultant p.iva: 03045250838
