Postfix user@domain ?

I was able to get user@domain email login for dovecot working due to this post:

change the line in the /etc/dovecot.conf file

auth_username_format="%Ld_%Ln"

Is there a way to have outgoing email (postfix) work the same with it's authentication?

 

With Postfix 2.3 or later:

postfix/main.cf:
smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot
smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth

dovecot/dovecot.conf:
auth default {
# Space separated list of wanted authentication mechanisms:
# plain login digest-md5 cram-md5 ntlm rpa apop anonymous gssapi
mechanisms = plain login
passdb pam {
}
userdb passwd {
}
socket listen {
client {
path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth
mode = 0660
user = postfix
group = postfix
}
}
}

(From http://www.postfix.org/SASL_README.html#server_dovecot)

That worked!

Here is my new dovecot.conf file for other interested parties:

-----------------------------------------------

protocols = imap imaps pop3 pop3s

protocol pop3 {
}

protocol lda {
# Address to use when sending rejection mails.
postmaster_address = [email protected]
}

auth_username_format ="%Ld_%Ln"

auth default {
mechanisms = plain login

passdb pam {
}

userdb passwd {
}

socket listen {
client {
path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth
mode = 0660
user = postfix
group = postfix
}
}
}

dict {
}

plugin {
}

 

cannot log in with roundcube

This solution is simply GREAT!

But since i chaged config acording this post, i cannot log into roundcube webmail. Does anyone has idea what to change in RoundCube config?

log:
IMAP Error: Authentication for mydomain.cz_test failed (LOGIN): "a001 NO Authentication failed." in on line 0

 

where?

eh, all what was needed is

change
// Path to a virtuser table file to resolve user names and e-mail addresses
$rcmail_config['virtuser_file'] = '/etc/postfix/virtusertable';

to
// Path to a virtuser table file to resolve user names and e-mail addresses
$rcmail_config['virtuser_file'] = '';

 

hello,

I try this parameters in dovecote.conf and when I restart service I have this error :
Restarting mail server: dovecotError: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf line 11: Unknown setting: username_format

I make copy/paste this parameters directly on my dovecot.conf file.

Where is my error ?

Regards,
Olivier

 

What version of dovecot are you running?

 

dovecot --version ==> 1.0.beta3

 

Can you try to upgrade to a newer dovecot version?

 

sugested

i have set Postfix&Dovecot on Debian Etch now
in compare to Fedora it is good to add lines

disable_plaintext_auth = no (to allow also unsecured login)
pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv (this is a must or POP3 login does not work)

whole /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf :

Code:

protocols = imap imaps pop3 pop3s
ssl_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem
ssl_key_file = /etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem

disable_plaintext_auth = no
pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv
protocol pop3 {
}

protocol lda {
# Address to use when sending rejection mails.
postmaster_address = [email protected]
}

auth_username_format ="%Ld_%Ln"

auth default {
mechanisms = plain login

passdb pam {
}

userdb passwd {
}

socket listen {
client {
path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth
mode = 0660
user = postfix
group = postfix
}
}
}

dict {
}

plugin {
}

 

I tried to upgrade but I don't know how to do....

Because when I try with command apt-get, the last version is 1.0.beta3
And I tried to upgrade with the last version on dovecot.org, installation is ok but the service doesn't want to start.

I going to read this : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Dovecot

My OS version is Ubuntu v6.06_LTS.

I think that it's impossible to login with an email address for pop3, imap en smtp services with ISPConfig.

If you have another solution ????

Somebody succeed to install it ?

 

reinstall?

and what about to aptitude-remove all dovecot packages, then purge it and install dovecot again ?

 

Roundube problem

I did everything what was written in this thread and logging to email from mailclient works. But when I try to log from Roundcube webmail, it gives bad user addres to my Dovecot IMAP server. It goes like this (when I got [DOMAIN]_ in setu) in log file

user=<_mydomain.org_$user>

but Dovecot expects

user=<mydomain.org_$user>

I don't know where could it be. Everything was working before changing settings for logging from email client.

 

Fixed

It seems that there is problem in Roundcube code (some regex interpretation). I don't have time to inspect code deeply so I've changed [DOMAIN]_ to [DOMAIN] and now it works without problems.

 

Has anyone achieved the same thing with the courier and postfix combination, as in Falko Timme's article, here: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_debian_etch or does anyone know if there's a thread elsewhere covering it?

EDIT: Sory, folks. It does. My mistake. In Management -> Server>Settings -> Email ensure Maildir is checked.

 

Hi World,
I’m trying to do this to work without success.
My configuration:
-Fedora 7
-The Perfect Server - Fedora 7
-ISPConfig last ver.
-Squirrelmail package

I did:
postfix/main.cf:
smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot
smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth

dovecot/dovecot.conf:
protocols = imap imaps pop3 protocol pop3 {
}
protocol lda {
# Address to use when sending rejection mails.
postmaster_address = [email protected]
}
auth_username_format = "%Ld_%Ln" pop3s ===> If I remove this line I can login as [email protected] only using Squirrelmail.

With Evolution I can SEND but I cannot RECEIVE emails.
What can I do to fix it?

Thanks,
AsDsL

 

I'm thinking of installing this hack as it makes a lot more sense for email logins. Can anyone who's installed this tell me if they ran into any issues during usage?

How about upgrading ISPConfig, does anything break from this hack during an upgrade?

Just to clarify, after this hack the user id would always be the full email address? This is for both webmail and pop3 authentication?

BTW, I'm not using any user prefix for Ispconfig, would that be an issue? Or should I use the domain or something? I'm using Cento5 from the perfect install.

Thank you very much.
