# # Dovecot configuration for Postfix Admin # Originally written by: Massimo Danieli # Revised by: Sampsa Hario for Dovecot v1.0 # Revised by: David Goodwin for Dovecot 2.1.x (2014/01/02) # More complete Dovecot documentation: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Quota http://wiki.dovecot.org/Quota/Dict http://www.opensourcehowto.org/how-to/mysql/mysql-users-postfixadmin-postfix-dovecot--squirrelmail-with-userprefs-stored-in-mysql.html Here are the relevant parts of Dovecot v2.1.x configuration for Postfixadmin setup. Please refer to Dovecot documentation for complete information. The setup gets userdb and passdb info from MySQL as well as quotas, and uses dict backend to store used quotas as key=value pairs so that they can be viewed real-time in Postfixadmin. 1. Dovecot setup ----------------- A basic /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf is as follows, this was generated using 'dovecot -n' on a vanilla install and then changing to talk to a PostgreSQL or MySQL database. # BEGIN /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf: # Change this to where your mail root is, this needs to match whatever structure postfix expects.... # See also: https://wiki.dovecot.org/MailLocation - %d domain, %u full username, %n user part (%u with no domain) mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/vmail/%u/ namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = } protocols = "imap pop3" # change to 'no' if you don't have ssl cert/keys, and comment out ssl_cert/ssl_key ssl = yes # If you're using LetsEncrypt/certbot see e.g. /etc/letsencrypt/live/MyDomain/fullchain.pem. # # cat server.crt server.key > dovecot.pem # # Make sure dovecot can read these file(s) # # If you use doveadm for your PostfixAdmin hashing, the webserver will also need read access to these files # See also : https://github.com/postfixadmin/postfixadmin/blob/master/DOCUMENTS/HASHING.md#dovecotmethod ssl_cert = MD5-CRYPT # md5 -> PLAIN-MD5 # cleartext -> PLAIN default_pass_scheme = MD5-CRYPT # Query to retrieve password. user can be used to retrieve username in other # formats also. password_query = SELECT username AS user,password FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active='1' # Query to retrieve user information, note uid matches dovecot.conf AND Postfix virtual_uid_maps parameter. # MYSQL: user_query = SELECT CONCAT('/var/mail/vmail/', maildir) AS home, 1001 AS uid, 1001 AS gid, CONCAT('*:bytes=', quota) AS quota_rule FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active='1' # PostgreSQL: # user_query = SELECT '/var/mail/vmail/' || maildir AS home, 1001 AS uid, 1001 AS gid, # '*:bytes=' || quota AS quota_rule FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active = '1' # see: https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/authentication/sql/#id6 iterate_query = SELECT username as user FROM mailbox WHERE active = '1' #END /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf If you make use of the separate smtp_active flag in the mailbox table of postfixadmin by enabling the configuration parameter $CONF['smtp_active_flag'] = YES in postfixadmin configuration and you're using dovecot sasl with postfix, the dovecot queries can be updated to use the different flag for smtp: password_query = SELECT username AS user,password FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND (('%s' = 'smtp' AND smtp_active = '1') OR ('%s' <> 'smtp' AND active = '1')) user_query = SELECT CONCAT('/var/mail/vmail/', maildir) AS home, 1001 AS uid, 1001 AS gid, CONCAT('*:bytes=', quota) AS quota_rule FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND (('%s' = 'smtp' AND smtp_active = '1') OR ('%s' <> 'smtp' AND active = '1')) 3. Permissions -------------- Applicable to those older versions of Postfixadmin (before v 3.4) (see also https://github.com/postfixadmin/postfixadmin/pull/491) With Dovecot 2.3.11 (ish?), if you are using the Postfixadmin dovecot password hashing backend - so your Postfixadmin configuration looks like `$CONF['encrypt'] = 'dovecot:something';` then the system user account running the PostfixAdmin code (normally the webserver user account, like www-data or http or nobody) will need ... * read access to any SSL certificate files defined in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf (check: ssl_key, ssl_cert) * read/write access to /run/dovecot/stats-writer * Fixable with: `usermod -aG dovecot www-data`` Please note, Postfixadmin does not need to run on the same server as the Dovecot server. See also the following tickets which contain discussions and solutions : * https://github.com/postfixadmin/postfixadmin/issues/381 (Unable to login after Dovecot upgrade) * https://github.com/postfixadmin/postfixadmin/issues/398 (Dovecotpw needs to read my TLS cert and private key) 4. Dovecot v1.0 quota support (optional) ---------------------------------------- Please note that you need to use Dovecot's own local delivery agent to enforce and update quotas. Then you can view real-time used quotas in Postfixadmin. Add to dovecot.conf: ## IMAP quota protocol imap { mail_plugins = quota } ## POP quota protocol pop3 { mail_plugins = quota } ## Local Delivery Agent protocol lda { mail_plugins = quota } ## Dictionary DB proxy dict { quota = mysql:/etc/dovecot-dict-quota.conf } ## Default quota values plugin { quota = dict:storage=200000 proxy::quota } Change dovecot-sql.conf to return quota values: for MySQL: user_query = SELECT maildir, 1001 AS uid, 1001 AS gid, CONCAT('dict:storage=',floor(quota/1000),' ::proxy::quota') as quota FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active='1' for PostgreSQL: user_query = SELECT maildir, 1001 AS uid, 1001 AS gid, 'dict:storage=' || floor(quota/1000) || '::proxy::quota' as quota FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active='1' Create file dovecot-dict-quota.conf. For dovecot 1.0 & 1.1, use this as a template: driver = mysql connect = host=localhost dbname=postfix user=postfix password=postfix default_pass_scheme = MD5-CRYPT table = quota select_field = current where_field = path username_field = username If you use dovecot 1.2 or newer, use this: connect = host=localhost dbname=postfix user=postfix password=postfix map { pattern = priv/quota/storage table = quota2 username_field = username value_field = bytes } map { pattern = priv/quota/messages table = quota2 username_field = username value_field = messages } Create database in Mysql: (This is automatically done by postfixadmin's setup.php) Enable quota support in Postfixadmin config.inc.php: $CONF['used_quotas'] = 'YES'; $CONF['quota'] = 'YES'; Note: The above text describes the configuration for dovecot 1.0 & 1.1 quota table format. If you use dovecot 1.2 or newer, - use the 'quota2' table (also created by setup.php) - set $CONF['new_quota_table'] = 'YES' 5. Dovecot Allowed IPs and App Password support (optional) ---------------------------------------------------------- To enhance end user security, Postfixadmin supports a set of features that need implementation in the Dovecot login SQL queries. The following features are available: * Restrict login to a list of allowed remote IP addresses. * Allow login with app passwords.
