Post-login scripting
====================

If you want to do something special after authentication, but before beginning
the IMAP or POP3 session, you can do this by telling imap/pop3 executable to
use post-login service by editing conf.d/10-master.conf:

---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
service imap {
  # tell imap to do post-login lookup using a socket called "imap-postlogin"
  executable = imap imap-postlogin
}

# The service name below doesn't actually matter.
service imap-postlogin {
  # all post-login scripts are executed via script-login binary
  executable = script-login /usr/local/bin/postlogin.sh

  # the script process runs as the user specified here (v2.0.14+):
  user = $default_internal_user
  # this UNIX socket listener must use the same name as given to imap
executable
  unix_listener imap-postlogin {
  }
}
---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can run multiple post-login scripts by just giving multiple scripts as
parameters to 'script-login', for example:

---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
  executable = script-login rawlog /usr/local/bin/postlogin.sh
/usr/local/bin/postlogin2.sh
---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The scripts are run in the specified order. Remember that the post-login script
runs with the privileges of the "user" setting given to the service (root by
default). If you need the script to access user's mail files, change it to
whatever user owns the mails (e.g. vmail). If you're using multiple UNIX UIDs
(e.g. system users), use 'script-login -d' to drop to the UID/GID specified by
the userdb lookup (ignoring user/group/chroot service settings).

It's not currently possible to run post-login scripts in <proxies>
[PasswordDatabase.ExtraFields.Proxy.txt], because they're not actually logging
in to the local Dovecot. An alternative method could be implemented some day,
maybe as a plugin.

Running environment
-------------------

Standard input and output file descriptors are redirected to the client's
network socket, so you can send data to client by simply writing to stdout.
Standard error fd is redirected to Dovecot's error log, you can write errors
there as well.

The script can use environment variables:

 * USER: Username
 * IP: Remote IP address
 * LOCAL_IP: Local IP address
 * Fields returned by userdb lookup with their keys uppercased (e.g. if userdb
   returned home, it's stored in HOME).

It's possible to add/modify userdb fields by adding them to environment and
adding the field to USERDB_KEYS. For example to change user's mail location:

---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh

export MAIL=maildir:/tmp/test
export USERDB_KEYS="$USERDB_KEYS mail"
exec "$@"
---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can change any Dovecot settings using the above method.

Changing user's password after login
------------------------------------

See <HowTo.ConvertPasswordSchemes.txt>

Last-login tracking
-------------------

If you want to know when the user last logged in, you can do it like this:

---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
# a) Filesystem based timestamp in user's home directory
touch ~/.last_login
# b) SQL based tracking. Beware of potential SQL injection holes if you allow
# users to have ' characters in usernames. Following is just an example:
#echo "UPDATE mailbox SET modified = now() WHERE username = '$USER'" | mysql
postfixadmin
exec "$@"
---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------

/Note: if creating a timestamp inside the Maildir itself, it's better to avoid
filenames which begin with a dot. The IMAP "list" command will show such files
as IMAP folders, unless you also set 'maildir_stat_dirs = yes' which generates
more I/O ops./

Custom mailbox location autodetection
-------------------------------------

See <MailLocation.txt> for an example.

Alerts
------

If you want to give the user's client some warning notification, you can do it
just by writing it to stdout. But note:

 * Not all clients show the alerts, even though IMAP RFC requires it.
 * IMAP protocol requires CRLF (\r\n) line feeds. Some clients will break if
   you only send LF.

---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
if [ -f ~/.out-of-office ]; then
  printf "* OK [ALERT] You're still marked as being out of office.\r\n"
fi
exec "$@"
---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Use UNIX groups for ACL authorization
-------------------------------------

---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
ACL_GROUPS=`groups $USER | tr ' '  ','`
export ACL_GROUPS
export USERDB_KEYS="$USERDB_KEYS acl_groups"
exec "$@"
---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Denying connection from some IP/User
------------------------------------

You can use the IP and USER shell variables that are setup by dovecot in a bash
script in order to deny connection (after a successful login), like this:

---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
if [ "$USER" = "myuser" ] ; then
  printf "* NO [ALERT] The user '$USER' can not login\r\n"
  exit 0
fi

if [ ! "$IP" = "192.168.1.1" ] ; then
  printf "* NO [ALERT] Access not allowed from the Internet\r\n"
  exit 0
fi
exec "$@"
---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can also use

 * http://www.linux.org.py/wiki/howto/dovecot_connect_acl
 * TCP wrappers can be used with 'login_access_sockets = tcpwrap'

Dynamically adding shared mailboxes according to filesystem permissions
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Additional namespaces can be dynamically added via environment variables:

---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
use strict;

my $SHAREDDIR= '/var/spool/mail/Shared';

if (! @ARGV) {
  exit 1;
}

# for testing...
#if ($ENV{USER} eq 'lemur') {
#  #  print "* OK [ALERT] Hello $ENV{'USER'}!\n";
#  &set_namespaces();
#  system("env >> /tmp/dovecot-env-$$");
#}

&set_namespaces();

exec(@ARGV) or die "Unable to exec @ARGV: $!";

sub set_namespaces {
  my $mailbox;
  local *D;
  if (opendir(D, $SHAREDDIR)) {
    my $dir;
    my @namespaces = ();
    while ($mailbox= readdir(D)) {
      next if ($mailbox =~ /^\./);
      if (-r "${SHAREDDIR}/${mailbox}") {
        my $nsname = 'S-'.uc($mailbox);
        push(@namespaces, lc($nsname));
        &log("adding NAMESPACE/${nsname}/PREFIX ${SHAREDDIR}/${mailbox}");
        $ENV{"NAMESPACE/${nsname}/LOCATION"} =
          "maildir:$SHAREDDIR/$mailbox:INDEX=~/Maildir/index/Shared/$mailbox";
        $ENV{"NAMESPACE/${nsname}/PREFIX"} = "Shared/$mailbox/";
        $ENV{"NAMESPACE/${nsname}/TYPE"}= "public";
        $ENV{"NAMESPACE/${nsname}/SEPARATOR"}= "/";
        $ENV{"NAMESPACE/${nsname}/LIST"}= "yes";
        # $ENV{"NAMESPACE/${nsname}/SUBSCRIPTIONS"} = "no"
      }
    }
    closedir D;
    if (@namespaces) {
      $ENV{"NAMESPACE"} = join(' ', @namespaces);
      my @userdb_keys;
      if ($ENV{'USERDB_KEYS'}) {
        push(@userdb_keys, $ENV{'USERDB_KEYS'});
      }
      push(@userdb_keys, grep(/^NAMESPACE/, keys(%ENV)));
      $ENV{'USERDB_KEYS'} = join(' ', @userdb_keys);
    }
  }
}

sub log {
  print STDERR "@_\n";
}
---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------

This adds environment variables like that:

---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
NAMESPACE/S-SPAMREP/LIST=yes
NAMESPACE/S-SPAMREP/LOCATION=maildir:/var/spool/mail/Shared/spamrep:INDEX=~/Maildir/index/Shared/spamrep
