I've tried strace-ing dovecot-lda, but it didn't really help me to
understand why it discards the result of the userdb lookup.
Can anyone please provide a cluebat, please?
I'd change the setup towards postfix handing over the messages to
dovecot via lmtp.
You can easily achive this by setting
relay_domains = btree:/etc/postfix/relay-transport
in your postfix configuration and creating a file
/etc/postfix/relay-transport:
your_mail_domain lmtp:unix:private/lmtp-dovecot

Re: Outlook with Dovecot
Elise, 13.12.20: I think the origin of this issue is caused by Outlook itself. Setting up a new account in Outlook, one has to provide an email address instead of a user name. With using BSD usermanager, adding a user named 'i...@mydomain.com' is converted automatically to user 'ilse'. I am not expecting that Microsoft will solve this issue on short term though. Good old "Control Panel" -> "Mail" offers some more detailed configuration options. Just use this way to set up mail accounts instead of doing it with Outlook.

Re: dovecot 2 samba ad-dc
Hi Phil, phil, 20.02.20: I try to build a mail server based on Centos 7, postfix and dovecot 2. My backend is a Samba4 ad-dc. I tried a lot and I don't know what else I could try.I'm new to this mailing list so please forgive me if I don't give right information or anything Samba4 ad-dc is up incl. dns. Win10 Client joined domain and authentication works. Postfix is up and checks against ldap whether recipient address exists. It takes mail via telnet and queues them. But can't give it to dovecot. You told postfix to hand over the messages to dovecot using dovecot-deliver. I 'm not sure which privileges are used/needed by dovecot in this case. Your dovecot has been configured to use uid/gid vmail/vmail, and maybe this causes problems. I'd give lmtp a try. Just define a "transport" for postfix which hands over messages for "local delivery" to dovecot using lmtp. From my point of view, this makes life easier qith dovecot running with vmail/vmail. You should take another look at dovecot's userdb settings as dovecot's last log line states "Userdb lookup failed". After having taken a closer look, I'm just wondering about your user_filter = (mailRoutingAddress=%u) There is no such attribute (MailRoutingAddress) in your ldapsearch results. My conclusion: dovecot is looking for something non-existant - and can't find it ;-)... I'd also recommend using a preceding "%L" to make dovecot use lowercase characters, e.g.: user_attrs = uid=%Lu,=home=/mail/%Ld/%Ln This can make life easier sometimes...

LMTP crashes on Debian with dovecot backports from rename-it.nl
Hello dovecot-users,
we're running Debian 7.9 with dovecot from Stephan Bosch's repository:
deb http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/ oldstable-auto/dovecot-2.2 main
Starting with dovecot 2.2.20-1 build 28, we suddenly discovered that
some mails (to be locally delivered) "got stuck". dovecot's log revealed
messages like the following one:

Looks like a Postfix error, not Dovecot. I don't think so. Postfix already looks from the root of the AD down and it has no problems. Dovecot does not authenticate at all if I simply put the AD root in the ldap configuration file. User unknown in virtual mailbox table is what *postfix* tells you. Dovecot does not do SMTP (yet). Thus, I suppose that dovecot doesn't get involved at all (although this depends on your configuration). I recommend to check the restrictions you defined in your postfix configuration.

Wouldn't it be best for spotlight if you used local storage for your mails? In other words: Just download them from your server into your local account. The you're done, and spoltlight will be able to index them. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Christian Schmidt -- No signature available.
Re: [Dovecot] pop3 login ok then disconnects right away..outlook
Hello markh, markh, 07.05.2013 (d.m.y): I have dovecot with postfix on ubuntu server 12 I cannot log into outgoing server with outlook. That's no dovecot issue. Outgoing mails will (or will not) be accepted by your postfix (if it is configured in a way that permits relaying). You should check if you can connect to the smtp (25) or submission (587) port of your server, take a look at your mail log etc. Gruss/Regards, Christian Schmidt -- You have been selected for a secret mission.
Re: [Dovecot] userdb static Quota from LDAP?

These can be replaced with global settings:

mail_gid = vmail
mail_home = /var/maildir/%u
Now I'd like to add per-user quotas that will also be stored in the
LDAP directory, and I'm not sure how to put things together.
IMHO quota is the only userdb information requested from LDAP, and
I'd like to leave all the other userdb pieces as the are. I changed
the userdb definition to:
userdb {
driver = ldap
args = /etc/dovecot/conf.d/ldap-userdb.ext
}
My /etc/dovecot/conf.d/ldap-userdb.ext contains (along other lines):
user_attrs =
uid=vmail,gid=vmail,home=/var/maildir/%u,mailQuota=quota=quota_rule=*:storage=%$
Just set those global settings and drop uid/gid/home from here. Or you
could get them working here too, but the syntax is slightly wrong:
user_attrs = =uid=vmail, =gid=vmail, ..
(With the above settings you're telling Dovecot that LDAP uid field
will be assigned to Dovecot's vmail field, and the gid field
immediately overrides it, and LDAP home field's value is set to
Dovecot's /var/maildir/%u field.)
This is working now:
user_attrs = mailQuota=quota_rule=*:bytes=%$
Thank you, Timo!

[Dovecot] userdb static Quota from LDAP?
Hi all,
I just configured Dovecot 2.0.14 for virtual (i.e. non-system-) users:
passdb {
driver = ldap
args = /etc/dovecot/conf.d/ldap-passdb.ext
}
userdb {
driver = static
args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/var/maildir/%u
}
Works fine so far - thanks for this great piece of software, Timo!!!
Now I'd like to add per-user quotas that will also be stored in the
LDAP directory, and I'm not sure how to put things together.
IMHO quota is the only userdb information requested from LDAP, and
I'd like to leave all the other userdb pieces as the are. I changed
the userdb definition to:
userdb {
driver = ldap
args = /etc/dovecot/conf.d/ldap-userdb.ext
}
My /etc/dovecot/conf.d/ldap-userdb.ext contains (along other lines):
user_attrs =
uid=vmail,gid=vmail,home=/var/maildir/%u,mailQuota=quota=quota_rule=*:storage=%$
My quota configuration looks like this:
plugin {
quota = maildir:Mailbox-Quota
quota_rule = *:storage=1G
quota_warning = storage=80%% /usr/local/bin/quotawarn.sh 80 %u
quota_warning2 = storage=95%% /usr/local/bin/quotawarn.sh 95 %u
}
Using this setup, doveadm quota get -u username doesn't reveal any
quota information (except from the headings). Instead, dovecot logs:
doveadm(username): Fatal: GID 0 isn't permitted
When switching back to userdb static, I receive the correct (but also)
static quota information.
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you very much,
Christian Schmidt

Re: [Dovecot] Install from source of dovecot 1.1.2
Hello Guy, Guy, 10.08.2008 (d.m.y): I have what I'm sure is a stupid question. I'm trying to install Dovecot 1.1.2 from source and my command sequence is this: cd dovecot-1.1.2 ./configure --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr --with-mysql --with-storagesmaildir --sysconfdir=/etc/dovecot make make install cd ../dovecot-sieve-1.1.5 ./configure --with-dovecot=../dovecot-1.1.2 make make install I don't get any errors during either install OK, but you do make install as root, don't you? I've done the odd config on dovecot to try and keep it as close to the install dirs used by the Dovecot package included with Ubuntu. Once it's done, dovecot -n still looks in /usr/local/etc and when I try and start dovecot it looks for the libexec dir in /usr/local instead of /usr. Is there something I'm missing on the configure? Please check what you $PATH variable looks like and if there exists another dovecot in /usr/local/sbin (which maybe is mentioned in your $PATH before /usr/sbin). Or just call /usr/sbin dovecot -n.

Now I want to change the configuration and authenticate against the mysql database from horde. That way it is much easy for me to create (virtual) mail users. I also want to use the mail alias of the horde users for Exim and Dovecot. My questions are; is it possible to use the horde mysql database for this? Yes - you can (and most probably need to) create additional tables in the horde database. Using the stock horde database would not help you, because horde just uses it as a container to store your users' preferences. And is it also possible for the mail alias of horde? What is the mail alias of horde? IMO, horde in general and imp in special isn't aware of aliases at all. Gruss/Regards, Christian Schmidt -- Save energy: be apathetic.

Re: [Dovecot] Will pay $500 towards a Dovecot feature
Marc Perkel, 23.05.2007 (d.m.y): IMAP establishes a connection between the client and the server. Wouldn't it be great if it could be a conduit to let custom Thunderbird plugins talk to custom server application over the IMAP interface? For example, personalized server settings. Suppose for example I want Thunderbird to edit my server side white lists or black lists or any other setting? Wouldn't it be nice if IMAP supported these changes? AFAIK, the M in IMAP stands for Mail, not for Calendar or Schedules. The connection is made. It's a secure connection that's been authenticated. You can also use LDAP and/or Kerberos to authenticate your users for other services - e.g. HTTP/WebDAV access to their Calendars, for managing their Sieve filters and so on.
