.. _dovecot: ####### Dovecot ####### Modoboa requires Dovecot 2+ to work so the following documentation is suitable for this combination. In this section, we assume dovecot's configuration resides in :file:`/etc/dovecot`, all pathes will be relative to this directory. You can find configuration documentation `here `_. This proposed configuration is the one you can find with modoboa-installer. For up to date configuration, `take a look here `_ Packages ======== For debian and derivative, recommended packages are:: apt install dovecot-imapd dovecot-lmtpd dovecot-managesieved dovecot-sieve Mailboxes ========= First, edit the :file:`conf.d/10-mail.conf` and set the ``mail_location`` variable:: # maildir mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir Then, edit the ``inbox`` namespace and add the following line:: inbox = yes In order for dovecot to automaticaly create usual folders on account creation, edit the ``inbox`` namespace of :file:`15-mailboxes.conf`:: mailbox Drafts { auto = subscribe special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { auto = subscribe special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { auto = subscribe special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { auto = subscribe special_use = \Trash } Starting dovecot 2.2.20+, you can add ``autoexpunge`` parameter to delete older message, for instance:: mailbox Trash { auto = subscribe special_use = \Trash autoexpunge=30d } With dovecot 2.1+, it ensures all the special mailboxes will be automaticaly created for new accounts. For dovecot 2.0 and older, use the `autocreate `_ plugin. .. _fs_operations: Operations on the file system ----------------------------- .. warning:: Modoboa needs to access the ``dovecot`` binary to check its version. To find the binary path, we use the ``which`` command first and then try known locations (:file:`/usr/sbin/dovecot` and :file:`/usr/local/sbin/dovecot`). If you installed dovecot in a custom location, please tell us where the binary is by using the ``DOVECOT_LOOKUP_PATH`` setting (see :file:`settings.py`). Three operation types are considered: #. Mailbox creation #. Mailbox renaming #. Mailbox deletion The first one is managed by Dovecot. The last two ones may be managed by Modoboa if it can access the file system where the mailboxes are stored (see :ref:`admin-params` to activate this feature). Those operations are treated asynchronously by a cron script. For example, when you rename an e-mail address through the web UI, the associated mailbox on the file system is not modified directly. Instead of that, a *rename* order is created for this mailbox. The mailbox will be considered unavailable until the order is executed (see :ref:`Postfix configuration `). Edit the crontab of the user who owns the mailboxes on the file system:: $ crontab -u -e And add the following line inside:: * * * * * python /manage.py handle_mailbox_operations .. warning:: The cron script must be executed by the system user owning the mailboxes. .. warning:: The user running the cron script must have access to the :file:`settings.py` file of the modoboa instance. The result of each order is recorded into Modoboa's log. Go to *Modoboa > Logs* to consult them. .. _dovecot_authentication: Authentication ============== To make the authentication work, edit the :file:`conf.d/10-auth.conf` and uncomment the following line at the end:: #!include auth-system.conf.ext !include auth-sql.conf.ext #!include auth-ldap.conf.ext #!include auth-passwdfile.conf.ext #!include auth-checkpassword.conf.ext #!include auth-vpopmail.conf.ext #!include auth-static.conf.ext Then, edit the :file:`conf.d/auth-sql.conf.ext` file and add the following content inside:: passdb sql { driver = sql # Path for SQL configuration file, see example-config/dovecot-sql.conf.ext args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext } userdb sql { driver = sql args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext } Make sure to activate only one backend (per type) inside your configuration (just comment the other ones). Edit the :file:`dovecot-sql.conf.ext` and modify the configuration according to your database engine. .. _dovecot_mysql_queries: MySQL users ----------- For debian and derivative, you need to install mysql connector for dovecot:: sudo apt install dovecot-mysql :: driver = mysql connect = host= dbname= user= password= default_pass_scheme = CRYPT user_query = \ SELECT '%{home_dir}/%%d/%%n' AS home, %mailboxes_owner_uid as uid, \ %mailboxes_owner_gid as gid, \ CONCAT('*:bytes=', mb.quota, 'M') AS quota_rule \ FROM admin_mailbox mb \ INNER JOIN admin_domain dom ON mb.domain_id=dom.id \ INNER JOIN core_user u ON u.id=mb.user_id \ WHERE (mb.is_send_only=0 OR '%s' NOT IN ('imap', 'pop3', 'lmtp')) \ AND mb.address='%%n' AND dom.name='%%d' password_query = \ SELECT email AS user, password, '%{home_dir}/%%d/%%n' AS userdb_home, \ %mailboxes_owner_uid AS userdb_uid, %mailboxes_owner_gid AS userdb_gid, \ CONCAT('*:bytes=', mb.quota, 'M') AS userdb_quota_rule \ FROM core_user u \ INNER JOIN admin_mailbox mb ON u.id=mb.user_id \ INNER JOIN admin_domain dom ON mb.domain_id=dom.id \ WHERE (mb.is_send_only=0 OR '%s' NOT IN ('imap', 'pop3')) \ AND u.email='%%u' AND u.is_active=1 AND dom.enabled=1 iterate_query = SELECT email AS user FROM core_user WHERE is_active .. _dovecot_pg_queries: PostgreSQL users ---------------- For debian and derivative, you need to install postgres connector for dovecot:: sudo apt install dovecot-pgsql :: driver = pgsql connect = host= dbname= user= password= default_pass_scheme = CRYPT user_query = \ SELECT '%{home_dir}/%%d/%%n' AS home, %mailboxes_owner_uid as uid, \ %mailboxes_owner_gid as gid, '*:bytes=' || mb.quota || 'M' AS quota_rule \ FROM admin_mailbox mb \ INNER JOIN admin_domain dom ON mb.domain_id=dom.id \ INNER JOIN core_user u ON u.id=mb.user_id \ WHERE (mb.is_send_only IS NOT TRUE OR '%s' NOT IN ('imap', 'pop3', 'lmtp')) \ AND mb.address='%%n' AND dom.name='%%d' password_query = \ SELECT email AS user, password, '%{home_dir}/%%d/%%n' AS userdb_home, \ %mailboxes_owner_uid AS userdb_uid, %mailboxes_owner_gid AS userdb_gid, \ CONCAT('*:bytes=', mb.quota, 'M') AS userdb_quota_rule \ FROM core_user u \ INNER JOIN admin_mailbox mb ON u.id=mb.user_id \ INNER JOIN admin_domain dom ON mb.domain_id=dom.id \ WHERE (mb.is_send_only IS NOT TRUE OR '%s' NOT IN ('imap', 'pop3'))\ AND email='%%u' AND is_active AND dom.enabled iterate_query = SELECT email AS user FROM core_user WHERE is_active SQLite users ------------ For debian and derivative, you need to install sqlite connector for dovecot:: sudo apt install dovecot-sqlite :: driver = sqlite connect = default_pass_scheme = CRYPT password_query = SELECT email AS user, password FROM core_user u INNER JOIN admin_mailbox mb ON u.id=mb.user_id INNER JOIN admin_domain dom ON mb.domain_id=dom.id WHERE u.email='%Lu' AND u.is_active=1 AND dom.enabled=1 user_query = SELECT '/%Ld/%Ln' AS home, as uid, as gid, ('*:bytes=' || mb.quota || 'M') AS quota_rule FROM admin_mailbox mb INNER JOIN admin_domain dom ON mb.domain_id=dom.id WHERE mb.address='%Ln' AND dom.name='%Ld' iterate_query = SELECT email AS user FROM core_user .. note:: Replace values between ``<>`` with yours. .. _dovecot_oauth2: OAuth 2 authentication ====================== You first need to register Dovecot as an authorized consumer of the OAuth2 authentication service provided by Modoboa. To do so, create an application with the following commands: .. sourcecode:: bash > cd > python manage.py createapplication --name=Dovecot --skip-authorization --client-id=dovecot confidential client-credentials On success, you should see an output similar to:: New application Dovecot created successfully. client_secret: XXXX To enable OAuth2 authentication in Dovecot, edit the :file:`conf.d/10-auth.conf` file and update the auth_mechanisms line as follows:: auth_mechanisms = plain login oauthbearer xoauth2 Then, add the following line at the end:: !include auth-oauth2.conf.ext Then, create a file named :file:`conf.d/auth-oauth2.conf.ext` with the following content:: passdb { driver = oauth2 mechanisms = xoauth2 oauthbearer args = /etc/dovecot/conf.d/dovecot-oauth2.conf.ext } Finally, create a file named :file:`conf.d/dovecot-oauth2.conf.ext` with the following content:: introspection_mode = post introspection_url = https://dovecot:@/api/o/introspect/ username_attribute = username tls_ca_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt active_attribute = active active_value = true Replace ```` with the value you obtained earlier. LDAP ==== To make the LDAP authentication work, edit the :file:`conf.d/10-auth.conf` and uncomment the following line at the end:: !include auth-ldap.conf.ext Then edit the :file:`conf.d/auth-ldap.conf.ext` and edit the passdb section as following. You should comment the userdb section, which will be managed by SQL with modoboa database.:: passdb { driver = ldap # Path for LDAP configuration file, see example-config/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext } #userdb { #driver = ldap #args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext # Default fields can be used to specify defaults that LDAP may override #default_fields = home=/home/virtual/%u #} Your own dovecot LDAP configuration file is now :file:`/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext`. You can add your default LDAP conf in it, following the `official documentation `_. Synchronize dovecot LDAP conf with modoboa LDAP conf ---------------------------------------------------- To make dovecot LDAP configuration synchronized with modoboa LDAP configuration, you should create a dedicated dovecot conf file. At the end of your dovecot configuration file (:file:`dovecot-ldap.conf.ext`), add the following line:: !include_try dovecot-modoboa.conf.ext Then, set modoboa parameter *Enable Dovecot LDAP sync* to *Yes*. Then set the *Dovecot LDAP config file* following the previous step (*/etc/dovecot/dovecot-modoboa.conf.ext* in the example) The last step is to add the command **update_dovecot_conf** to the cron job of modoboa. Then, each time your modoboa LDAP configuration is updated, your dovecot LDAP configuration will also be. LMTP ==== `Local Mail Transport Protocol `_ is used to let Postfix deliver messages to Dovecot. First, make sure the protocol is activated by looking at the ``protocols`` setting (generally inside :file:`dovecot.conf`). It should be similar to the following example:: protocols = imap pop3 lmtp Then, open the :file:`conf.d/10-master.conf`, look for ``lmtp`` service definition and add the following content inside:: service lmtp { # stuff before unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { mode = 0600 user = postfix group = postfix } # stuff after } We assume here that Postfix is *chrooted* within :file:`/var/spool/postfix`. Finally, open the :file:`conf.d/20-lmtp.conf` and modify it as follows:: protocol lmtp { postmaster_address = postmaster@ mail_plugins = $mail_plugins quota sieve } Replace ```` by the appropriate value. .. note:: If you don't plan to apply quota or to use filters, just adapt the content of the ``mail_plugins`` setting. .. _dovecot_quota: Quota ===== Modoboa lets adminstrators define per-domain and/or per-account limits (quota). It also lists the current quota usage of each account. Those features require Dovecot to be configured in a specific way. Inside :file:`conf.d/10-mail.conf`, add the ``quota`` plugin to the default activated ones:: mail_plugins = quota Inside :file:`conf.d/10-master.conf`, update the ``dict`` service to set proper permissions:: service dict { # If dict proxy is used, mail processes should have access to its socket. # For example: mode=0660, group=vmail and global mail_access_groups=vmail unix_listener dict { mode = 0600 user = #group = } } Inside :file:`conf.d/20-imap.conf`, activate the ``imap_quota`` plugin:: protocol imap { # ... mail_plugins = $mail_plugins imap_quota # ... } Inside :file:`dovecot.conf`, activate the quota SQL dictionary backend:: dict { quota = :/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext } Inside :file:`conf.d/90-quota.conf`, activate the *quota dictionary* backend:: plugin { quota = dict:User quota::proxy::quota } It will tell Dovecot to keep quota usage in the SQL dictionary. Finally, edit the :file:`dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext` file and put the following content inside:: connect = host= dbname= user= password= # SQLite users # connect = /path/to/the/database.db map { pattern = priv/quota/storage table = admin_quota username_field = username value_field = bytes } map { pattern = priv/quota/messages table = admin_quota username_field = username value_field = messages } *PostgreSQL* users ------------------ Database schema update ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The ``admin_quota`` table is created by Django but unfortunately it doesn't support ``DEFAULT`` constraints (it only simulates them when the ORM is used). As PostgreSQL is a bit strict about constraint violations, you must execute the following query manually:: db=> ALTER TABLE admin_quota ALTER COLUMN bytes SET DEFAULT 0; db=> ALTER TABLE admin_quota ALTER COLUMN messages SET DEFAULT 0; Trigger ^^^^^^^ As indicated on `Dovecot's wiki `_, you need a trigger to properly update the quota. A working copy of this trigger is available on `Github `_. Download this file and copy it on the server running postgres. Then, execute the following commands:: $ su - postgres $ psql [modoboa database] < /path/to/modoboa_postgres_trigger.sql $ exit Replace ``[modoboa database]`` by the appropriate value. Forcing recalculation --------------------- For existing installations, *Dovecot* (> 2) offers a command to recalculate the current quota usages. For example, if you want to update all usages, run the following command:: $ doveadm quota recalc -A Be carefull, it can take a while to execute. ManageSieve/Sieve ================= Modoboa lets users define filtering rules from the web interface. To do so, it requires *ManageSieve* to be activated on your server. Inside :file:`conf.d/20-managesieve.conf`, make sure the following lines are uncommented:: protocols = $protocols sieve service managesieve-login { # ... } service managesieve { # ... } protocol sieve { # ... } Finally, configure the ``sieve`` plugin by editing the :file:`conf.d/90-sieve.conf` file. Put the follwing caontent inside:: plugin { # Location of the active script. When ManageSieve is used this is actually # a symlink pointing to the active script in the sieve storage directory. sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve # # The path to the directory where the personal Sieve scripts are stored. For # ManageSieve this is where the uploaded scripts are stored. sieve_dir = ~/sieve } Restart Dovecot. Now, you can go to the :ref:`postfix` section to finish the installation. .. _lastlogin: Last-login tracking =================== To update the ``last_login`` attribute of an account after a succesful IMAP or POP3 login, you can configure a `post-login script `_. Open :file:`conf.d/10-master.conf` add the following configuration (``imap`` and ``pop3`` services are already defined, you just need to update them):: service imap { executable = imap postlogin } service pop3 { executable = pop3 postlogin } service postlogin { executable = script-login /usr/local/bin/postlogin.sh user = modoboa unix_listener postlogin { } } Then, you must create a script named :file:`/usr/local/bin/postlogin.sh`. According to your database engine, the content will differ. PostgreSQL ---------- .. sourcecode:: bash #!/bin/sh psql -c "UPDATE core_user SET last_login=now() WHERE username='$USER'" > /dev/null exec "$@" MySQL ----- .. sourcecode:: bash #!/bin/sh DBNAME=XXX DBUSER=XXX DBPASSWORD=XXX echo "UPDATE core_user SET last_login=now() WHERE username='$USER'" | mysql -u $DBUSER -p$DBPASSWORD $DBNAME exec "$@"
