This bit is a good sign; it indicates that Dovecot was configured correctly (and explains the warning you received and that I pointed-out earlier):

Code:

Jan 20 13:26:31 25612-21212 groupadd[9365]: group added to /etc/group: name=dovecot, GID=120
Jan 20 13:26:31 25612-21212 groupadd[9365]: group added to /etc/gshadow: name=dovecot
Jan 20 13:26:31 25612-21212 groupadd[9365]: new group: name=dovecot, GID=120
Jan 20 13:26:31 25612-21212 useradd[9369]: new user: name=dovecot, UID=115, GID=120, home=/usr/lib/dovecot, shell=/bin/false
Jan 20 13:26:31 25612-21212 usermod[9374]: change user 'dovecot' password
Jan 20 13:26:31 25612-21212 chage[9379]: changed password expiry for dovecot
Jan 20 13:26:31 25612-21212 chfn[9382]: changed user 'dovecot' information

Each failed login attempt was indeed logged:

Code:

Jan 20 13:47:10 25612-21212 dovecot-auth: pam_unix(dovecot:auth): check pass; user unknown
Jan 20 13:47:10 25612-21212 dovecot-auth: pam_unix(dovecot:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=dovecot [email protected] rhost=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX 
Jan 20 13:47:19 25612-21212 dovecot-auth: pam_unix(dovecot:auth): check pass; user unknown
Jan 20 13:47:19 25612-21212 dovecot-auth: pam_unix(dovecot:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=dovecot [email protected] rhost=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX 

So, the message is always "check pass; user unknown", followed by "authentication failure".

Unfortunately, that on its own doesn't tell us much.

There should be corresponding log entries in /var/log/mail.log. See if you can find any entry that corresponds to the above (use the timestamp).

I expect you to find something like this:

Code:

Jan 20 10:07:19 hostname dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (auth failed, 3 attempts): user=<[email protected]>, method=PLAIN, rip=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX, lip=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX, TLS

We're making progress. At least now the logs are reflecting what is actually happening.

It seems that there may be a disconnect between ISPConfig's virtual mailbox DB tables and the authentication mechanism that Dovecot is attempting to use.

I also want to point-out that I don't have these messages in /var/log/auth.log:

Code:

Jan 20 12:35:01 25612-21212 postfix/smtpd[5188]: sql auxprop plugin using mysql engine 

You have this message in your log quite frequently. It is probably safe to assume that this message is related or in addition to the IMAP/POP issue.

Can you please post the full contents of /etc/postfix/main.cf and /etc/postfix/master.cf?

It would be worth having a look at the Dovecot configuration, too, so please post /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf.

 

Just a thought in the back of my mind... While I'm posting bits and pieces of log files and conf files during this process are there security issues to bear in mind about stuff that shouldn't be posted..? I notice how sometimes posters' replace IP addresses and other things with 'X's' or '***'s'... any thoughts..? (hopefully that doesn't turn out to be an ironically dumb question after the fact...)

Also I see this when using apt-get...
I've had a search about this and there are differing solutions that have not changed anything on my server..?

Code:

perl: warning: Setting locale failed.

I thought I'd post some of what's happening before and after the timestamps you identified because I'm new to this - trying to get a bit of understanding of what's going on around the said timestamps...

Code:

## Dovecot configuration file

# If you're in a hurry, see http://wiki.dovecot.org/QuickConfiguration

# "dovecot -n" command gives a clean output of the changed settings. Use it
# instead of copy&pasting this file when posting to the Dovecot mailing list.

# '#' character and everything after it is treated as comments. Extra spaces
# and tabs are ignored. If you want to use either of these explicitly, put the
# value inside quotes, eg.: key = "# char and trailing whitespace  "

# Default values are shown for each setting, it's not required to uncomment
# those. These are exceptions to this though: No sections (e.g. namespace {})
# or plugin settings are added by default, they're listed only as examples.
# Paths are also just examples with the real defaults being based on configure
# options. The paths listed here are for configure --prefix=/usr
# --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --with-ssldir=/etc/ssl

# Base directory where to store runtime data.
#base_dir = /var/run/dovecot

# Protocols we want to be serving: imap imaps pop3 pop3s managesieve
# If you only want to use dovecot-auth, you can set this to "none".
#protocols = imap imaps
protocols = imap imaps pop3 pop3s

# A space separated list of IP or host addresses where to listen in for
# connections. "*" listens in all IPv4 interfaces. "[::]" listens in all IPv6
# interfaces. Use "*, [::]" for listening both IPv4 and IPv6.
#
# If you want to specify ports for each service, you will need to configure
# these settings inside the protocol imap/pop3/managesieve { ... } section, 
# so you can specify different ports for IMAP/POP3/MANAGESIEVE. For example:
#   protocol imap {
#     listen = *:10143
#     ssl_listen = *:10943
#     ..
#   }
#   protocol pop3 {
#     listen = *:10100
#     ..
#   }
#   protocol managesieve {
#     listen = *:12000
#     ..
#   }
#listen = *

# Disable LOGIN command and all other plaintext authentications unless
# SSL/TLS is used (LOGINDISABLED capability). Note that if the remote IP
# matches the local IP (ie. you're connecting from the same computer), the
# connection is considered secure and plaintext authentication is allowed.
#disable_plaintext_auth = yes

# Should all IMAP and POP3 processes be killed when Dovecot master process
# shuts down. Setting this to "no" means that Dovecot can be upgraded without
# forcing existing client connections to close (although that could also be
# a problem if the upgrade is eg. because of a security fix). This however
# means that after master process has died, the client processes can't write
# to log files anymore.
#shutdown_clients = yes

# /dev/stderr can be used to log into stderr.

## Mailbox locations and namespaces
##

# Location for users' mailboxes. This is the same as the old default_mail_env
# setting. The default is empty, which means that Dovecot tries to find the
# mailboxes automatically. This won't work if the user doesn't have any mail
# yet, so you should explicitly tell Dovecot the full location.
#
# If you're using mbox, giving a path to the INBOX file (eg. /var/mail/%u)
# isn't enough. You'll also need to tell Dovecot where the other mailboxes are
# kept. This is called the "root mail directory", and it must be the first
# path given in the mail_location setting.
#
# There are a few special variables you can use, eg.:
#
#   %u - username
#   %n - user part in user@domain, same as %u if there's no domain
#   %d - domain part in user@domain, empty if there's no domain
#   %h - home directory
#
# See </usr/share/doc/dovecot-common/wiki/Variables.txt> for full list.
# Some examples:
#
#   mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir
#   mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
#   mail_location = mbox:/var/mail/%d/%1n/%n:INDEX=/var/indexes/%d/%1n/%n
#
# </usr/share/doc/dovecot-common/wiki/MailLocation.txt>
#
#mail_location = 

# If you need to set multiple mailbox locations or want to change default
# namespace settings, you can do it by defining namespace sections.
#
# You can have private, shared and public namespaces. Private namespaces
# are for user's personal mails. Shared namespaces are for accessing other
# users' mailboxes that have been shared. Public namespaces are for shared
# mailboxes that are managed by sysadmin. If you create any shared or public
# namespaces you'll typically want to enable ACL plugin also, otherwise all
# users can access all the shared mailboxes, assuming they have permissions
# on filesystem level to do so.
#
# REMEMBER: If you add any namespaces, the default namespace must be added
# explicitly, ie. mail_location does nothing unless you have a namespace
# without a location setting. Default namespace is simply done by having a
# namespace with empty prefix.
#namespace private {

   # namespaces or some clients get confused. '/' is usually a good one.

   # If namespace is hidden, it's not advertised to clients via NAMESPACE
   # extension. You'll most likely also want to set list=no. This is mostly
   # useful when converting from another server with different namespaces which

   # hidden namespaces with prefixes "~/mail/", "~%u/mail/" and "mail/".
   #hidden = yes

## mbox-specific settings

#           will need write access to that directory.
#  dotlock_try: Same as dotlock, but if it fails because of permissions or
#               because there isn't enough disk space, just skip it.
#  fcntl  : Use this if possible. Works with NFS too if lockd is used.
#  flock  : May not exist in all systems. Doesn't work with NFS.
#  lockf  : May not exist in all systems. Doesn't work with NFS.
#
# You can use multiple locking methods; if you do the order they're declared
# in is important to avoid deadlocks if other MTAs/MUAs are using multiple
# locking methods as well. Some operating systems don't allow using some of
# them simultaneously.
#
# The Debian value for mbox_write_locks differs from upstream Dovecot. It is

# fallbacks to re-reading the whole mbox file whenever something in mbox isn't
# how it's expected to be. The only real downside to this setting is that if

# dirsize: Find and sum all the files found from mail directory.
# Extremely SLOW with Maildir. It'll eat your CPU and disk I/O.
# dict: Keep quota stored in dictionary (eg. SQL)
# maildir: Maildir++ quota
# fs: Read-only support for filesystem quota
#
# Quota limits are set using "quota_rule" parameters, either in here or in
# userdb. It's also possible to give mailbox-specific limits, for example:
# quota_rule = *:storage=1048576
# quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=102400
# User has now 1GB quota, but when saving to Trash mailbox the user gets
# additional 100MB.
#
# Multiple quota roots are also possible, for example:
# quota = dict:user:roxy::quota
# quota2 = dict:domain:%droxy::quota_domain
# quota_rule = *:storage=102400
# quota2_rule = *:storage=1048576
# Gives each user their own 100MB quota and one shared 1GB quota within
# the domain.
#
# You can execute a given command when user exceeds a specified quota limit.
# Each quota root has separate limits. Only the command for the first
# exceeded limit is excecuted, so put the highest limit first.
# Note that % needs to be escaped as %%, otherwise "% " expands to empty.
# quota_warning = storage=95%% /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh 95
# quota_warning2 = storage=80%% /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh 80
#quota = maildir

# ACL plugin. vfile backend reads ACLs from "dovecot-acl" file from maildir
# directory. You can also optionally give a global ACL directory path where
# ACLs are applied to all users' mailboxes. The global ACL directory contains
# one file for each mailbox, eg. INBOX or sub.mailbox. cache_secs parameter
# specifies how many seconds to wait between stat()ing dovecot-acl file
# to see if it changed.
#acl = vfile:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-acls:cache_secs=300

# To let users LIST mailboxes shared by other users, Dovecot needs a
# shared mailbox dictionary. For example:
#acl_shared_dict = file:/var/lib/dovecot/shared-mailboxes

# Convert plugin. If set, specifies the source storage path which is
# converted to destination storage (mail_location) when the user logs in.

# is a text file where each line is in format: <priority> <mailbox name>
# Mails are first deleted in lowest -> highest priority number order
#trash = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-trash.conf

# Expire plugin. Mails are expunged from mailboxes after being there the

# you must set up:
# dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/lib/dovecot/expire-tool
#expire = Trash 7 Spam 30
#expire_dict = proxy::expire

# Lazy expunge plugin. Currently works only with maildirs. When a user
# expunges mails, the mails are moved to a mailbox in another namespace
# (1st). When a mailbox is deleted, the mailbox is moved to another namespace
# (2nd) as well. Also if the deleted mailbox had any expunged messages,
# they're moved to a 3rd namespace. The mails won't be counted in quota,
# and they're not deleted automatically (use a cronjob or something).

That's no big deal and shouldn't be causing any of these issues. There is a way to fix it (I can't remember off the top of my head); just search for that error string and you should find a solution.

I wouldn't worry about posting your hostname and IP. Most people replace the numbers for privacy reasons (not everybody wants his forum username associated with his personal [or professional] website, his P2P activities, etc.), not so much security. That said, some unscrupulous individual could, in theory, read a thread that exposes a weakness at a given IP address and attack the server. Seems somewhat unlikely, but possible.

It'll take me a while to digest your configuration. I'll post again once I have a chance.

In the meantime, a preliminary look at your log files does indicate that something is misconfigured:

Code:

Jan 20 13:25:29 25612-21212 postfix/pipe[7752]: 219932F81CE2: to=<[email protected]>, relay=maildrop, delay=403524, delays=403524/0.27/0/0, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (temporary failure. Command output: ERR: authdaemon: s_connect() failed: Permission denied /usr/bin/maildrop: Home directory owned by wrong user. )

Maildrop shouldn't be anywhere in the equation.

Maybe we never covered enabling Sieve over Maildrop, explicitly. Change this setting in ISPConfig (System -> Server Config -> example.com -> Mail tab).

See attached screenshot for the settings you should be using. We already changed the permissions on /var/vmail to work with Dovecot + Sieve (hence the Maildrop error), so you shouldn't have to touch those.

I assume that the following entries are the result of restarting Dovecot. I could be wrong, so if this keeps happening, we'll investigate further.

Code:

Jan 20 13:26:31 25612-21212 dovecot: Dovecot v1.2.9 starting up (core dumps disabled)
Jan 20 13:26:31 25612-21212 dovecot: Generating Diffie-Hellman parameters for the first time. This may take a while..

Jan 20 13:26:31 25612-21212 dovecot: Dovecot v1.2.9 starting up (core dumps disabled)
Jan 20 13:26:31 25612-21212 dovecot: Generating Diffie-Hellman parameters for the first time. This may take a while..
Jan 20 13:26:31 25612-21212 dovecot: Killed with signal 15 (by pid=9553 uid=0 code=kill)
Jan 20 13:26:31 25612-21212 dovecot: Dovecot v1.2.9 starting up (core dumps disabled)
Jan 20 13:26:31 25612-21212 dovecot: Generating Diffie-Hellman parameters for the first time. This may take a while..

I'm not sure the next one is a problem, maybe just a warning due to a missing CA certificate in the Dovecot configuration:

Code:

13:44:41 25612-21212 dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=76.179.0.31, lip=202.130.46.114, TLS handshaking: SSL_accept() failed: error:14094418:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:tlsv1 alert unknown ca

If you have a certificate that is issued from a trusted CA, I can help you with configuring Dovecot to use it.

See how the system behaves after setting the Mail tab settings correctly in ISPConfig. I don't think you need to reconfigure ISPConfig after changing those settings, but I'm not positive. In other words, I don't know if ISPConfig recognizes that Dovecot is installed even if it's not selected; maybe it does.

I guess a reconfiguration couldn't hurt, provided that you haven't made many (or any) customizations to the files that would be overwritten, but you can try without reconfiguring first.

 

Server Config -> Mail tab
is Dovecot and Sieve identical to the screenshot...
Still no email...? does that email address I gave you do any better..? or anything..?
same as always... in evolution preferences, 'check for supported types' of authentication button is happy for IMAP but not for SMTP it just stalls
Also when evolution goes to check the email it keeps asking me for the password for that account and refuses to authenticate...

 

I don't see any indication (based on your posts) that you reconfigured ISPConfig after installing Dovecot + Sieve.

Did you run the update command that was posted at the bottom of http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showpost.php?p=271965&postcount=71

If not, that would certainly cause problems.

>> Update  

Please choose the update method. For production systems select 'stable'. 
The update from svn is only for development systems and may break your current setup.
Note: Update all slave server, before you update master server.

Select update method (stable,svn) [stable]: 

There are no updates available for ISPConfig 3.0.4.2

 

Hmm, there has to be a way to force ISPConfig to reconfigure, even if there are no updates available. I've never had to do it, though.

Till? Falko?

 

Well, if there's no option to reconfigure, you may have to uninstall and then reinstall ISPConfig.

Fortunately, the process appears to affect ISPConfig only, and not all of the other software that you've had to install.

However, the uninstall script will destroy all databases (the ISPConfig database, as well as all databases in /var/lib/mysql/ that were created with ISPConfig). So, be sure to backup all of your databases.

My personal DB backup recipe, which backs-up all MySQL databases on the system, consists of the following command:

Code:

# mysqldump --all-databases --add-drop-table --default-character-set=utf8 --extended-insert --host=localhost --quick --quote-names --routines --set-charset --single-transaction --triggers --tz-utc --verbose --user=root --password='your-password' | gzip > "/root/$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M).gz"

If you use this command, you will need to use your own password for the --password argument.

The uninstall script is located in the install directory within the ISPConfig package.

Code:

# cd /root
# wget http://www.ispconfig.org/downloads/ISPConfig-3-stable.tar.gz
# tar xzfv ./ISPConfig-3-stable.tar.gz
# cd ./ispconfig3_install/install
# php -f ./uninstall.php

You should be able to reinstall using the same set of files, e.g.:

Code:

# php -f ./install.php

Post back with the results when you have a chance.

 

A couple of things worth noting. I just received an "Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender" response to one of the test emails that I sent days ago. A good sign, I suppose.

Also, I received a prompt to accept a new SSL certificate, so I assume that you are in the process of removing and reinstalling. Seems to be going okay so far.

If this measure doesn't work, I'll start comparing your configuration files to mine.

 

I've re-installed ISPConfig as per instructions...

I'm just using self-signed certificates for now, after the whole thing is working and possibly understand a bit about the whole setup... I'll get signed certificate later...

 

It works I can login via IMAP, with SSL, and as soon as I did, I received the automated email message from ISPConfig.

I also tried sending a test email from your server to my personal email and it worked fine. I responded and received the reply at my mailbox @xanderit.com, so all is well.

Cool. So, it was just a matter of switching to Dovecot + Sieve and reinstalling ISPConfig (although, I suspect a reconfiguration would have worked, and maybe that option simply doesn't exist yet).

Surely you will have other questions, but the good news is that they've already been answered one place or another.

Glad we got it all worked-out, and more glad that you learned quite a bit in the process. Cheers!

 

I've got mail..!

Thanks for that... Evolution preferences can now check for supported authentication types on IMAP and SMTP happily...
Thanks again.

 

something isn't working again..?

Hi again...

for some reason the email isn't working again..?
It was working fine - I haven't touched the configuration since you guys got the thing running...?

Evolution is authenticating fine but when sending/receiving, email addresses [email protected] are just stalling indefinitely..?
