Problem is for that this is a new user. The new user has no private key. I
need for generating that private key. It do not the sense encrypts
something using a key public if there is no private key. Both key public
and private is mathematically related and have to be created together. I
am using the wrong command for creating the main user encrypted EC private
key?
Directing my question primary: it is any way to have the dovecot executes
a bash script in the time of the mailbox created (lda_mailbox_autocreate)?
Also, I notice extra behavior when I do:
1. I creates user in mysql database
2. I confirms it not exists mailbox for user
3. I confirms it not exists cryptokeys for user
> root@localhost:/var/vmail# doveadm mailbox cryptokey list -u newuser -U
> Folder Active Public ID
> root@localhost:/var/vmail#
4. Before create mailbox or cryptokeys for user, I send mail from exist
user to new user
5. Postfix Delivers mail to dovecot
6. The dovecot accepts mail for new user and create mailbox automatically
(lda_mailbox_autocreate)
7. I check and see that dovecot creates key of user
> root@localhost:/var/vmail# doveadm mailbox cryptokey list -u newuser -U
> Folder Active Public ID
> yes XYZ
> root@localhost:/var/vmail#
How the possible??? I have put in settings of mail-crypt that keys of user
have to be encrypted (mail_crypt_require_encrypted_user_key = yes), but I
supply no key! How the dovecot creates main user encrypted public/private
EC keypair without key of encryption given?
I confirm that element of post for 'newuser' is encrypted, but of course I
can no decrypt the mail. I achieve error:
> dovecot: imap(newuser...Error: Mailbox INBOX: UID=1: read()
> failed...Private key not available: Cannot decrypt key XYZ
No well for executing generateKeys.sh on user first login. What if the
user receives email before first login? How I execute generateKeys.sh on
create of mailbox and how I do emails incoming without any keypair
created? For to reject or queue or save unencrypted until I generate
keypair? It possible?
