The dovecot hcak will not cause any problems with ISPConfig updates, as the dovecot configuration files are not altered. The hack requires that you use "[DOMAIN]_" as user prefix. But you might be able to use the hack without username prefix if you change the auth_username_format line.
Hi i have Mandriva 2008 Perfect Server Setup and ISPConfig.But i couldnt find /etc/courier or /etc/dovecot .. So i cant setup user@domain thing. help please.
I got this working with two things that are problems It makes the FTP login name really long. and if the domain name is long it leaves hardly any room to create a user name in ISPconfig for the email address. Is there a way to raise the character amount? and make the FTP login name more conventional?
. I dont think spam checker is working anymore using this hack. Is there a modification that needs to be made? Peace and <3
Many thanks to Torfinn Nome for this nice and much needed hack. I have only recently started using ISPConfig and just have few doubts before making the changes live. 1> Does it really effects spam checking as the earlier post reports? 2> Does this effect in any way for Mailuser login option of ISPConfig? Help is much appreciated.
This hack cuased the spam filter to not work. were getting hit with 1000+ spam emails a day and the spam filter is not catching them. Before the hack it was working great. Now were getting a crapload of spam. wtb instructions on how to revert.
Rockdrala, in my opinion you can any time revert to old setup by restoring original postfix main.cf and dovecot.conf and have everything working as before.
you can comment out auth_username_format="%Ld_%Ln" as well whole socket listen section in dovecot.conf + comment out smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth in main.cf of postfix and you get your original setup back.
Whats the prefix webID something. Hopefully we can get this implemented with all the functions working with it. it would be nice.
Ive grabbed the dovecot.conf off my ns2 server with its installation all is back to normal now. Thanks for the advice ^^.
I cant get this to work for anything. Why is it so difficut to simply want username@domain for web and for clients and have it that way for several domains. (sigh)
This is not difficult. Just change the dovecot and postfix configuration as described in the posts, thats all. Then setup the user name prefix. You can not use @ signs in normal usernames as linux usernames may not conztin a @ sign.
I followed the "perfect fedora 7 setup" as well and added ispconfig to the system. My conf files appear a bit differant than the ones posts and I am unsure what to do at the moment to get this into action. Server is fedora 7 domain is waco-eng.com and the domains added inside ispconfig are www.waco-eng.com and www.profabusa.com Apache version 2.2.8 ProFTPd version 1.31 Dovecot Version 1.0.13 Postfix Version 2.4.5 ISPConfig Version: 2.2.21 My Dovecot conf Code: protocol imap { } protocol pop3 { } protocol lda { } auth default { mechanisms = plain passdb pam { } userdb passwd { } user = root } dict { #quota = mysql:/etc/dovecot-dict-quota.conf } plugin { } My Main.cf from postfix Code: command_directory = /usr/sbin daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550 alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases debug_peer_level = 2 debug_peer_list = some.domain debugger_command = sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases.postfix mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq.postfix setgid_group = postdrop html_directory = no manpage_directory = /usr/share/man sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.4.5/samples readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.4.5/README_FILES smtpd_sasl_local_domain = smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated,permit_mynetworks,reject_unauth_destination mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 smtpd_tls_auth_only = no smtp_use_tls = yes smtpd_use_tls = yes smtp_tls_note_starttls_offer = yes smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/postfix/ssl/smtpd.key smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/postfix/ssl/smtpd.crt smtpd_tls_CAfile = /etc/postfix/ssl/cacert.pem smtpd_tls_loglevel = 1 smtpd_tls_received_header = yes smtpd_tls_session_cache_timeout = 3600s tls_random_source = dev:/dev/urandom smtpd_sasl_authenticated_header = yes myhostname = waco-eng.com home_mailbox = Maildir/ mailbox_command = virtual_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtusertable mydestination = /etc/postfix/local-host-names I excluded all the Commented out statments in each file.
I looked back through this forum and just made the changes to the best of my ability, restarted the services and I still cant get it to work. I edited my dovecot to look like this. Code: protocols = imap imaps pop3 pop3s protocol pop3 { } protocol lda { # Address to use when sending rejection mails. postmaster_address = [email protected] } 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 } } } dict { } plugin { } Then my main.cf to look like this.

Two main problems when using Dovecot There are two main problems with [DOMAN_] hack 1. you must always use identical Email Address: and Username: when creating new user or you will not be able to log into mail 2. You have only 31 charecters for domain.tld_user.name which is causing troubles (anyway, why the forms are cut to 31 when max usename lenght is 32 ?) There is no way to use different checking in dovecot then auth_username_format ="%Ld_%Ln" as the Email Adresses arent saved anywhere in the MySQL database , just in /etc/postfix/virtusertable Of course you can comment out lines smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth but then is comming main trouble, SMTP will expect domain.tld_username format when checking against Cyrus SASL (
I finally got it working to login e-mail with [email protected] (both outlook client and webmail)! I've ispconfig on fedora 9 with postfix / dovecot and squirrelmail. In ISPconfig I use the username prefix [DOMAIN]_ (available via ISPconfig interface in the manage menu) When making a username ALWAYS keep it equel to the email name. So e-mail test@domain.ltd then username should be domain.ltd_test This is important! Because in dovecot you can configure that an e-mail address having the format test@domain.ltd will be transposed to domain.ltd_test before it authenticates. To do this edit the /etc/dovecot.conf file to have: auth_username_format="%Ld_%Ln" I used the normal squirrelmail installation (yum install) and NOT the addon of ISPconfig. Reason is that I wanted to have webmail on the normal http port 80 and not 81 (not possible behind proxy). Additional the dovecot trick didn't work with the plugin version as it's customized too much. So far no new things which I couldn't find on this forum. However I ran unto trouble by the limitation of 32 characters for the username. So [email protected] failed to work as the user name in the passwd file was limited to verylongdomainname.ltd_verylonge! My fedora 9 could easily work with more than 32 characters for the username (not sure what is the limit) however ISPConfig limits the username in the database. In the table isp_isp_user I've modified the size of the user_username field from 32 to 64 and all worked fine also for longer usernames. So the results is that customers can use nicely [email protected] in their e-mail client and also on their webmail to login. To keep username consistent with the e-mail I did modify the user form in ISPconfig and about 4 lines in a script, however this is not really needed as long as you keep both the same manually. Actually I don't understand why ISPCOnfig differentiates this and askes this input. It's much too difficult for the average customer. For this I still prefer ravencore which really simplifies for the customers and would appreciate if ISPconfig can simplify this as well. So only one input box for the username which automatically becomes the e-mail address.
