"@LIBICU_CFLAGS@: No such file or directory" during libtool command for lib-fts (cross compile)

Hello, I am a complete newbie to dovecot, but do have reasonable experience in compiling Unix/Linux software. I am currently trying to do a cross-compile of dovecot-2.29.1 to be used on my home office Thecus NAS (host: Thecus kernel 2.6.33 on 32-bit Intel Atom: "i686-nptl-linux-gnu"; my build machine has Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS) "from ground up", i.e. I need to build and provide all dovecot dependencies from within my module. My compiler toolchain (using gcc-5.2.0) has been set up properly using ct-ng and works completely fine. I also have already successfully cross-compiled/built almost all dovecot dependencies (zlib, bzip2, xz, lz4, openssl-1.0.2, clucene-git, snowball-git, libexttextcat, icu) - i.e. including icu - and installed them properly into my cross-compile build root (/raid/data/module/Dovecot/sys as defined by Thecus module spec). My dovecot configure/make command is as follows: === export PKG_CONFIG=/usr/bin/pkg-config export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/raid/data/module/Dovecot/sys/lib/pkgconfig export CC=$HOME/Thecus/n4200pro-5.2.0-toolchain/i686-nptl-linux-gnu/bin/i686-nptl-linux-gnu-gcc export CFLAGS="" export LDFLAGS="-L/raid/data/module/Dovecot/sys/lib -Wl,-rpath,/raid/data/module/Dovecot/sys/lib" export LIBS="" # -llib export CPPFLAGS=-I/raid/data/module/Dovecot/sys/include export CPP=$HOME/Thecus/n4200pro-5.2.0-toolchain/i686-nptl-linux-gnu/bin/i686-nptl-linux-gnu-cpp export CXX=$HOME/Thecus/n4200pro-5.2.0-toolchain/i686-nptl-linux-gnu/bin/i686-nptl-linux-gnu-g++ export CXXFLAGS="" export LT_SYS_LIBRARY_PATH=/raid/data/module/Dovecot/sys/lib export CXXCPP=$HOME/Thecus/n4200pro-5.2.0-toolchain/i686-nptl-linux-gnu/bin/i686-nptl-linux-gnu-cpp ./configure --host i686-nptl-linux-gnu \ --prefix=/raid/data/module/Dovecot/sys \ --libdir=/raid/data/module/Dovecot/sys/lib \ --localstatedir=/raid/data/module/Dovecot/com \ --sharedstatedir=/raid/data/module/Dovecot/var \ --disable-silent-rules \ --with-notify=inotify \ --with-lucene \ --with-stemmer \ --with-textcat \ --with-icu \ --with-solr \ --with-zlib \ --with-bzlib \ --with-lzma \ --with-ssl=openssl \ --with-ssldir=/raid/data/module/Dovecot/sys/etc/ssl \ --with-storages=mdbox,sdbox,maildir,mbox,cydir,imapc,pop3c \ --with-moduledir=/raid/data/module/Dovecot/sys \ --with-gnu-ld \ --with-sysroot=/raid/data/module/Dovecot/sys \ --with-libiconv-prefix=/raid/data/module/Dovecot/sys \ --with-libintl-prefix=/raid/data/module/Dovecot/sys make === and completes configuration just fine, but the make step runs into the following issue which I am unable to resolve even after several hours of investigation, so I am completely stuck at this point... :-( === (...) make[3]: Leaving directory '/home/andreas/Thecus/Dovecot/dovecot-2.2.29.1/src/lib-dovecot' Making all in lib-fts make[3]: Entering directory '/home/andreas/Thecus/Dovecot/dovecot-2.2.29.1/src/lib-fts' make all-am make[4]: Entering directory '/home/andreas/Thecus/Dovecot/dovecot-2.2.29.1/src/lib-fts' /bin/bash ../../libtool --tag=CC --mode=compile /home/andreas/Thecus/n4200pro-5.2.0-toolchain/i686-nptl-linux-gnu/bin/i686-nptl-linux-gnu-gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../.. -I../../src/lib -I../../src/lib-test -I../../src/lib-mail -I../../src/lib-fts -I/raid/data/module/Dovecot/sys/include/libexttextcat/ @LIBICU_CFLAGS@ -DUDHRDIR=\""../../src/lib-fts"\" -DDATADIR=\"/raid/data/module/Dovecot/sys/share/dovecot\" -DTEST_STOPWORDS_DIR=\""../../src/lib-fts/stopwords"\" -I/raid/data/module/Dovecot/sys/include -std=gnu99 -Wall -W -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wpointer-arith -Wchar-subscripts -Wformat=2 -Wbad-function-cast -fno-builtin-strftime -Wstrict-aliasing=2 -I/raid/data/module/Dovecot/sys/include -MT fts-filter.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/fts-filter.Tpo -c -o fts-filter.lo fts-filter.c libtool: compile: /home/andreas/Thecus/n4200pro-5.2.0-toolchain/i686-nptl-linux-gnu/bin/i686-nptl-linux-gnu-gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../.. -I../../src/lib -I../../src/lib-test -I../../src/lib-mail -I../../src/lib-fts -I/raid/data/module/Dovecot/sys/include/libexttextcat/ @LIBICU_CFLAGS@ -DUDHRDIR=\"../../src/lib-fts\" -DDATADIR=\"/raid/data/module/Dovecot/sys/share/dovecot\" -DTEST_STOPWORDS_DIR=\"../../src/lib-fts/stopwords\" -I/raid/data/module/Dovecot/sys/include -std=gnu99 -Wall -W -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wpointer-arith -Wchar-subscripts -Wformat=2 -Wbad-function-cast -fno-builtin-strftime -Wstrict-aliasing=2 -I/raid/data/module/Dovecot/sys/include -MT fts-filter.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/fts-filter.Tpo -c fts-filter.c -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/fts-filter.o i686-nptl-linux-gnu-gcc: error: @LIBICU_CFLAGS@: No such file or directory Makefile:714: recipe for target 'fts-filter.lo' failed make[4]: *** [fts-filter.lo] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving directory '/home/andreas/Thecus/Dovecot/dovecot-2.2.29.1/src/lib-fts' Makefile:562: recipe for target 'all' failed === As far as I can tell, my pkgconfig file (/raid/data/module/Dovecot/sys/lib/pkgconfig/icu-i18n.pc) also seems to be fine: === # Copyright (C) 2016 and later: Unicode, Inc. and others. # License & terms of use: http://www.unicode.org/copyright.html # Copyright (C) 2010-2013, International Business Machines Corporation.

Dovecot/Sieve shortcuts?
by Adam Shostack 24 May '17

24 May '17

Hi, Is there a clean way to match on an email address the way procmail ^TO_ did? that was a macro which expanded to (^((Original-)?(Resent-)?(To|Cc|Bcc)|(X-Envelope |Apparently(-Resent)?)-To):(.*[^-a-zA-Z0-9_.])?) so you could write * ^TO_dovecot dovecot and grab messages to the list. In sieve, I find myseld writing ["To","cc"] and wonder if there's a better way. Adam

dovecot: auth-worker: Fatal: master: service(auth-worker): child XXXXX killed with signal 11
by dovecot＠jeffandjessi.com 24 May '17

24 May '17

Trying to track down a dovecot issue .... The error message is: dovecot: auth-worker: Fatal: master: service(auth-worker): child XXXXX killed with signal 11 (core not dumped - set service auth-worker { drop_priv_before_exec=yes }) The setup is dovecot 2.2.29.1 with passwd and mysql auth db's and a very basic config. both authentications work ... the symptom is that after a connection is made the auth worker loads and emails are downloaded and everything "is fine". However, about 30 second to a minute after the connection is done the process dies with the error message. Then the process starts all over with on the next checking of email ,but again everything "works" just seeing this error and the process dieing each time? enabled all extra verbose logging ,but nothing gives any clues.... Tried to enable core dumps ,but couldnt get core dumps to work ? The only thing is that a recently pkgsrc (netbsd) update create 2 packages, one for dovecot and one for mysql plugin , sense then now this error appears. ,but it appears the .so lib files are installed and linked correctly. Double checked all file permissions and user permissions as well as chroot , etc, etc, ,etc.... cant seem to narrow this one down .... any ideas on trouble shooting would be great .... even tried running a trace with gdb -p on the process ,but it just dies with a signal 11 ....

v2.2.30 release candidate released
by Timo Sirainen 24 May '17

24 May '17

https://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2.30.rc1.tar.gz https://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2.30.rc1.tar.gz.sig There are a couple of changes still coming, but now would be a good time to make sure anything unexpected hasn't broken. The final release should be out early next week. * auth: Use timing safe comparisons for everything related to passwords. It's unlikely that these could have been used for practical attacks, especially because Dovecot delays and flushes all failed authentications in 2 second intervals. Also it could have worked only when passwords were stored in plaintext in the passdb. * master process sends SIGQUIT to all running children at shutdown, which instructs them to close all the socket listeners immediately. This way restarting Dovecot should no longer fail due to some processes keeping the listeners open for a long time. + auth: Add passdb { mechanisms=none } to match separate passdb lookup + auth: Add passdb { username_filter } to use passdb only if user matches the filter. See https://wiki2.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase + dsync: Add dsync_commit_msgs_interval setting. It attempts to commit the transaction after saving this many new messages. Because of the way dsync works, it may not always be possible if mails are copied or UIDs need to change. + imapc: Support imapc_features=search without ESEARCH extension. + imapc: Add imapc_features=fetch-bodystructure to pass through remote server's FETCH BODY and BODYSTRUCTURE. + imapc: Add quota=imapc backend to use GETQUOTA/GETQUOTAROOT on the remote server. + passdb imap: Add allow_invalid_cert and ssl_ca_file parameters. + If dovecot.index.cache corruption is detected, reset only the one corrupted mail instead of the whole file. + doveadm mailbox status: Add "firstsaved" field. + director_flush_socket: Add old host's up/down and vhost count as parameters - More fixes to automatically fix corruption in dovecot.list.index - dsync-server: Fix support for dsync_features=empty-header-workaround - imapc: Various bugfixes, including infinite loops on some errors - fts-lucene: Fix it to work again with mbox format - vpopmail: Fix compiling

Postfix and Dovecot SASL: log NTLM username
by Bradley Giesbrecht 24 May '17

24 May '17

dovecot 2.2.22 postfix 3.1.1 I’m seeing "SASL NTLM authentication failed: {long_hash}” in mail.log. Is there a way to log the SASL username? I think postfix is logging what Dovecot SASL is returning so I hope I am asking on the right list. Regards, Bradley Giesbrecht (pixilla)

[imaptest] Explaining errors
by aduprat 24 May '17

24 May '17

Hi, I'm an Apache James committer and we are curious to use imaptest in order to validate our IMAP protocol implementation. I'm using the nightlybuild : imaptest-20170506 I follow the examples given in the /T/ /est IMAP server compliancy/ examples https://imapwiki.org/ImapTest/Examples. And I wanted to analyse the errors reported, here are some: Error: user1(a)james.org[11]: seq too high (16 > 15, state=APPEND): * 16 FETCH (BODY[HEADER.FIELDS (In-Reply-To From) ] "From: marcelo(a)carpa.ciagri.usp.br") Error: user1(a)james.org[14]: seq too high (26 > 25, state=APPEND): * 26 FETCH (MODSEQ (6068) FLAGS (\Answered \Draft \Flagged)) Error: user1(a)james.org[14]: seq too high (20 > 16, state=APPEND): * 20 EXPUNGE Error: user10(a)james.org[18]: Keyword used without being in FLAGS: $Label1: * 1 FETCH (MODSEQ (8) FLAGS (\Answered \Deleted \Draft $Label1 $Label3)) Error: Checkpoint: Total RECENT count 6 larger than current message count 3 Warning: Disabling \Recent flag tracking Error: user1(a)james.org[5]: Owned flag changed: \Deleted: * 7 FETCH (FLAGS (\Answered \Deleted \Recent $Label2)) Error: user1(a)james.org[5]: STORE didn't return FETCH FLAGS for seq 18 (expunged=yes): 5.75 OK STORE completed.

Error: Keyword '$Label1' dropped, but it still had 1 references Do you have a link explaining what are those failures ? Is there a report by IMAP command giving us an idea about our compliancy ? Do you allow us to communicate about such tests, for example: - in news http://james.apache.org/#posts ? - in medium article ? We also would like to have James mentioned in the servers status page https://imapwiki.org/ImapTest/ServerStatus How may we help you for that ?

Sender address when notifying original recipient
by Christoph Pleger 23 May '17

23 May '17

Hello, I am using sieve with notification of the original recipient in the case that an email has been identified to contain a virus. After upgrading dovecot from 2.2.21 to 2.2.29.1, I now detected that in these notifications, their sender address is now <postmaster@>, instead of <postmaster(a)mailserver.domain>, like it was before. Is it possible to revert to the old format? Regards Christoph

Dovecot pop3 feature
by Markus Eckerl 22 May '17

22 May '17

Hi all, we are using dovecot since several years without any problems or trouble. Now we are having trouble with a few of our customers - they are trying to fetch their emails every few seconds (3-5!). These customers are using Microsoft Exchange Server and also all of these customers are cared by the same IT Professional... Is it possible to send a pop3 "LOGIN-DELAY" if the customers last login is only a few seconds away? A simple firewall rule for rate limiting is not possible because most of them are business customers and they are connected using NAT. In RFC2449 <https://www.iana.org/assignments/pop3-extension-mechanism/pop3-extension-me…> I read that the pop3 capability "LOGIN-DELAY" exists. But it seems that dovecot does not offer this? Why? Kind regards Markus

Configuration is not working with Thunderbird
by Quark 22 May '17

22 May '17

Hi, I'm new to the list (and postfix / dovecot), so if I mistakenly omit something, then please forgive me. I cannot log into Thunderbird via IMAP with my configuration. However, I can check the mail of each user by logging into their user account & then using the "mail" command. Is there something that is wrong with my config to not allow me to log into Thunderbird (Version 52.1.1)? I'm using Postfix 3.1.0 if that helps. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Backing up and restoring maildir folders
by Timothy D Legg 22 May '17

22 May '17

Hello, I am migrating to a different distribution of Linux that involves changing to an earlier version of dovecot (2.2.22 to 2.2.13). As part of this process, I will be copying several maildirs to the new machine. One of these has a number of files and directories that resemble this one example: cur/ dovecot.index dovecot.index.cache dovecot.index.log dovecot.mailbox.log dovecot-uidlist dovecot-uidvalidity dovecot-uidvalidity.59206030 .Drafts/ new/ .Sent/ subscriptions tmp/ .Trash/ Is it good enough to simply stop dovecot and tar this folder, and others like it, and copy them back to a similar location on the new installation? I haven't yet seen anything that resembles an official or standardized backup/recovery method for dovecot. With thanks and appreciation, Tim Legg

Using Dovecot for a Geo-replicated World-wide Email Service
by Lennart Oldenburg 22 May '17

22 May '17

Hello everyone, my colleagues and I from Technische Universität Berlin are currently looking into the best way to setup a Dovecot-powered email service that is simultaneously accessible world-wide and still provides short response times by redirecting users to the geographically-closest cluster. We imagine the setup to make use of multiple data center regions in public clouds around the world, e.g. in Amazon Web Services (AWS) or Google Compute Platform (GCP). At the same time, state is considered to be shared, i.e. changes made on file system in any local cluster will have to be synchronized with all other clusters around the globe (mailbox replication) and mailboxes might be manipulated from any data center in the world, potentially at the same time. Naturally, problems arise. We have multiple questions and would be very interested in the best way to approach them based on your experiences and recommendations: 1) Which path should we take replication-wise? Please keep in mind that we are targeting replication between more than 2 clusters. Traditionally, in a rather small local setup with mostly reliable network, a distributed file system such as NFS or GlusterFS might be the best option. Unfortunately, though, when scaling to more than 2 data centers geographically-distributed around the globe, latency becomes severe and distributed file systems might not be the way to go anymore. What is your recommendation for replicating state? 2) We are mostly interested in providing short response times to client requests while maintaining global state consistency (that is, avoiding conflicts in state and not losing any user data). What are your recommendations in that direction? Any particular performance optimizations we could apply to Dovecot? 3) Is there a recommended way to measure and monitor Dovecot's service quality? For example, is there a way to export "live" metrics of a running Dovecot deployment to something such as Prometheus (https://prometheus.io)? 4) Maildir as the way to represent mailboxes and deliver emails on file system is kind of a given. I wonder, though, how well is dbox replicatable? What happens when dbox files are synchronized (e.g. via dsync) and a conflict arises? Does dbox offer a performance improvement over Maildir? 5) We perceive Dovecot to come with many optimizations to speed up "read" IMAP commands, i.e. non-state-changing ones. Is this perception correct? Or is Dovecot able to use its various index and log files for fast "write" IMAP commands (e.g. CREATE, DELETE, RENAME, APPEND, STORE, ...) as well? 6) Would DovecotPRO by Dovecot Oy offer any advantage to state replication? For example, could the Object Storage Plugin be used to replicate mailboxes through some object store service offered world-wide? 7) Is the setup we have in mind based on Dovecot a feasible solution for world-wide email comparable to services like Gmail? If not, what would you change or not do at all? Please excuse if some questions might be of rather basic nature, we are not at all Dovecot experts. I tried to gather as much information on that topic as possible from the wiki and sources found online but I might have missed an important page. In that case, please point me towards existing resources on the questions raised above. Thanks in advance and kind regards, Lennart Oldenburg

Since doveconf does not indicate I believe my version does not support: sieve_global_path A path to a global sieve script file, which gets executed ONLY if user's private Sieve script doesn't exist, e.g. /var/lib/dovecot/default.sieve. Be sure to pre-compile this script manually using the sievec command line tool, as explained below. But what I would need is execute a global sieve_before for all users to apply some spam selection rules. Did anybody easily achieved it? An obvious workaround would be to create a script which goes through all current users mail directories and creates a sieve_before script with the settings I need and then modify the user creation to do the same when new mailboxes get created. Thank you!

per user procmail filtering and dovecot-lda
by James Nord 18 May '17

18 May '17

Hi all, I recently migrated my system (postfix/Dovecot)from mbox to Maildir. Almost everything is working (phone and thunderbird show all my mail and folders with mail) However I am stuck on my .procmailrc rules # cat /etc/procmailrc SENDMAIL=/usr/sbin/sendmail SENDMAILFLAGS=-oi LOGFILE=/var/log/procmail.log ORGMAIL=${HOME}/Maildir/ DEFAULT=${ORGMAIL} MAILDIR=${HOME}/Maildir/ DELIVER="/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -d $LOGNAME" # next line is to support user .procmailrc files INCLUDERC=$HOME/.procmailrc :0 w | $DELIVER # cat ~/.procmailrc :0 w * ^List-ID:.*jenkinsci-dev.googlegroups.com | $DELIVER -m mailing-lists/jenkinsci-dev :0 w * ^List-ID:.*jenkinsci-users.googlegroups.com | $DELIVER -m mailing-lists/jenkinsci-users However dovecot-lda complains that the mailboxes "mailing-lists/jenkinsci-users", "mailing-lists/jenkinsci-dev" etc do not exist so delivers to the INBOX. Everything I have read says that the mailbox specified by -m is the name as seen by the mail client, and this is what the client sees (see image). I have tried changing the mailbox to INBOX/mailing-lists/... inbox/mailing-lists/... but the same still happens. So I am missing something somewhere and my google foo is unfortunately letting me down this time. Is there someone that can help me? (I'm not subscribed to the list so a CC to me would be appreciated) Regards /James

Hi, is there a way to arbitrarily filter out mails at the moment the IMAP request is made, based on properties of the IMAP session and the mail itself? All the filtering methods I find occur during delivery time.

Re: ACL and virtual user
by Davide Marchi 15 May '17

15 May '17

...I had under my eyes the solution I have not seen: * user=foo lrw Public user=bar lrwstipekxa Public/* user=bar lrwstipekxa I was enough (in my case) add the initial "*" wildcards, like this: * user=info(a)mydomain.com lrwsi where the "*" wildcards means all groups. I have verified and so the configuration is perfect, the user can not delete their own messages The fact remains that on the wiki dovecot ACL these steps, in the case of virtual users, are not clear, at least in my opinion. :-) I hope at least that my experience can be of assistance to other users. Many many thanks! Davide

ACL and virtual user
by Davide Marchi 15 May '17

15 May '17

Hi friends, I would like to remove write rights for a specific virtual user/email address. I've read the wiki "https://wiki2.dovecot.org/ACL" but there is nothing about it. So I started reading and rereading some old ML, like this: https://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2006-June/013683.html where they talk about something like that but I would like to implement current guidelines for the "Global ACL file" and for virtual user. So I've try: * user=foo lrw Public user=bar lrwstipekxa Public/* user=bar lrwstipekxa But in my case for virtual user, so I tried (obviously I changed the email address with a generic one): -------------- #user=info(a)mydomain.com lrwsi -------------- Log: May 15 10:40:44 server dovecot: imap(info(a)mydomain.com): Error: Global ACL file /etc/dovecot/dovecot-acl line 1: Unknown ID 'lrwsi' -------------- #owner #user=info at mydomain.com lrwsi -------------- Log: May 15 10:47:58 server dovecot: imap(info(a)mydomain.com): Error: Global ACL file /etc/dovecot/dovecot-acl line 1: Missing ACL rights -------------- #user=info at mydomain.com lrwsi -------------- Log: May 15 10:51:57 server dovecot: imap(info(a)mydomain.com): Error: Global ACL file /etc/dovecot/dovecot-acl line 2: Unknown ID 'at' But none of these gave results, could you explain better or gime me an example? Many many thanks! Davide Italy

[BUG] doveadm kick doesn't play well with hibernate
by Christian Balzer 15 May '17

15 May '17

Hello, Dovecot 2.2.27 (Debian Jessie backports). When issuing a "doveadm kick" for a specific user I was greeted by: --- "warning: other connections would also be kicked from following users:" --- and a list of 22odd thousand users. As it turns out, kick wants to smack the hibernation proces(ses) that have hibernated sessions for this user, obviously the wrong approach here. If there's doveadm command to wake up and thus un-hibernate sessions for a specific user this could be used as a workaround but a quick glance suggest no such thing. This functionality is absolutely crucial for us as we need this for our custom mailbox migration functionality. If there's no workaround or fix within 2 months I'll be forced to disable hibernation again (with a heavy heart).

Dovecot 2.2.29.1 + VPopMail 5.4.33
by Nicholas Chua 12 May '17

12 May '17

Hi all, I have a fresh installation of a Vpopmail 5.4.33 + Dovecot 2.2.29.1 + SQL As usual I followed the AuthDatabase/VPopMail wiki password_query = SELECT CONCAT(pw_name, '@', pw_domain) AS user, \ pw_clear_passwd AS password \ FROM vpopmail \ WHERE pw_name = '%n' AND pw_domain = '%d' user_query = SELECT pw_dir as home, \ 89 AS uid, 89 AS gid \ FROM vpopmail \ WHERE pw_name = '%n' AND pw_domain = '%d' For VPopMail, I prefer to have an individual table in the vpopmail database for each domain. So my structure will be something like this vpopmail.abc_com vpopmail.xyz_com To achieve this I add this configure when compiling VPopMail --disable-many-domains But dovecot will not read vpopmail.abc_com, instead it keep looking for vpopmail.vpopmail auth-worker(8643): Warning: mysql: Query failed, retrying: Table 'vpopmail.vpopmail' doesn't exist If I remove --disable-many-domains in the configuration, I have no issue. Is there a new password and user query to have this working? The last working version I had installed is Dovecot 2.2.15 Thank you nic

folders in public namespace only visable to 2nd folder level in 2.2.29.1
by Andreas Oster 11 May '17

11 May '17

Hi all, I am currently facing an issue with Dovevot version 2.2.29.1 where subfolders in a public namespace are only visible to the 2nd folder level: namespace Public -> folder "1st" -> folder -> "2nd" -> folder "3rd" .... When one user creates a subfolder below the 2nd level other users do not see that folder and are unable to subscribe to this folder. Folders created under the 1st level however are visible and subscribable by other users. namespace { disabled = no hidden = no ignore_on_failure = no inbox = no list = children type = public separator = / prefix = Public/ location = maildir:/var/vmail/public:INDEXPVT=~/Maildir/public subscriptions = no } I do not know at which point ( dovecot update ) this issue appeared. Does anyone face the same problem ? Thank you for your kind help best regards Andreas

Example for doveadm-save using Doveadm HTTP API
by KT Walrus 11 May '17

11 May '17

I could use an example of how to use curl to save a new message to a user’s INBOX using the Doveadm HTTP API. https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Design/DoveadmProtocol/HTTP <https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Design/DoveadmProtocol/HTTP> Do I really use the -d option and inline the entire new message in the command-line? Or, should I create a temporary .json file with the message wrapped in JSON and pass this filename to the -d option? Does anyone have a PHP class that abstracts the HTTP API commands? I’ve been using the Roundcube Framework to deliver new messages by IMAP, but I’m experimenting whether the Doveadm HTTP API might be a better solution. I eventually want my PHP code to do full administration of my users mailboxes. I was planning on using Sieve pipe PHP scripts in conjunction with IMAP to do full admin on mailboxes (as they receive new messages or change a flag, I would trigger maintenance on the mailbox such as deleting or moving to the trash old messages or filing a copy of a new message in a folder). Finally, is the Doveadm HTTP API stable enough to use in production? It seems like the documentation is rather minimal. Can this interface really be used for new message delivery instead of LMTP in production? Or, is this a bad idea to combine mailbox administration with new message delivery? Does anyone here use the Doveadm HTTP API in production? Kevin

DoS (was IMAP-auth on LAN and otherwise)
by Rupert Gallagher 09 May '17

09 May '17

Today the problem raised its head again, with a twist. A LAN client lost the DNS setting that pointed directly to the LAN address of the IMAP server, and two things happened: the LAN client could not connect to IMAP as we know, and a telephone call from the external client reported the same. When the LAN client closed Thunderbird, then the external client regained access. There were no other clients online at the same time. It turns out that the single LAN client was making enough requests to saturate dovecot's authentication service. I already described the detail with wireshark. On Tue, May 2, 2017 at 3:46 PM, Rupert Gallagher <ruga(a)protonmail.com> wrote: Hello, Thunderbird has been bugging us with connection errors. Dovecot is installed on a local server that carries a local IP and a public IP. When Thunderbird on a local client connects successfully, Wireshark shows a SYN request from the client's IP on LAN to the public IP of the server, followed by the ACK from the same public IP. When Thunderbird on the same local client fails to connect, Wireshark shows a SYN request from the client's IP on LAN to the public IP of the server, followed by the ACK from the server's LAN address, the client does not accept the ACK as valid and sends a new SYN request. The loop eventually leads to time-out. At the client's console, the DNS query of the IMAP server always responds with the server's public IP address. It is evident from Wireshark that the dovecot server sends ACKs from two IPs. Is it possible to instruct Dovecot to use the public IP only?

logging number of deleted messages
by David Mehler 07 May '17

07 May '17

Hello, I'm running Dovecot 2.29. I've got it going through a Mysql database. I've got the auto expunge plugin loaded. What I'm wanting to know is is there message count deletion ability? For example, does the mail_log, trash, or auto expunge plugins log how many messages were deleted? Thanks. Dave.

IMAP-auth on LAN and otherwise
by Rupert Gallagher 04 May '17

04 May '17

Hello, Thunderbird has been bugging us with connection errors. Dovecot is installed on a local server that carries a local IP and a public IP. When Thunderbird on a local client connects successfully, Wireshark shows a SYN request from the client's IP on LAN to the public IP of the server, followed by the ACK from the same public IP. When Thunderbird on the same local client fails to connect, Wireshark shows a SYN request from the client's IP on LAN to the public IP of the server, followed by the ACK from the server's LAN address, the client does not accept the ACK as valid and sends a new SYN request. The loop eventually leads to time-out. At the client's console, the DNS query of the IMAP server always responds with the server's public IP address. It is evident from Wireshark that the dovecot server sends ACKs from two IPs. Is it possible to instruct Dovecot to use the public IP only?

Sieve dict and bindir question
by Alessio Cecchi 03 May '17

03 May '17

Hi, I have setup the latest Dovecot and Sieve with dict in order to read rules from MySQL and works fine: sieve_before = dict:proxy::sieve;name=activesql;bindir=~/.sieve-bin dict { sieve = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sieve-sql.conf.ext } # cat /etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sieve-sql.conf.ext connect = host=10.1.1.1 dbname=dovecot user=dovecot password=Ciao map { pattern = priv/sieve/name/$script_name table = user_sieve_scripts username_field = username value_field = id fields { script_name = $script_name } } map { pattern = priv/sieve/data/$id table = user_sieve_scripts username_field = username value_field = script_data fields { id = $id } } But when I update the rules in mysql sieve continue to apply only the "old" rules stored in the binary. The only way to apply the new rules is to delete the .sieve-bin/activesql.svbin. If I remove ";bindir=~/.sieve-bin" works fine. This is a cache issue and can be fixed via setting, is an issue or is a "feature" :-) ? Thanks -- Alessio Cecchi Postmaster @ http://www.qboxmail.it https://www.linkedin.com/in/alessice

Re: Re: migrate Maildir to mdbox
by Joseph Tam 02 May '17

Michael Segel <dovecot_mjs(a)hotmail.com> writes: > Which is preferred? MailDir or Mbox? (directory vs flat file) Mailbox; I wish I converted when I had the chance. The only benefits I can see with mbox is that it's slightly less complicated, and if you're doing pattern searching or some global mailbox operation, less I/O intensive, but that's a niche case and usually ameliorated by indices. However, backing up mbox is a pain since changes results in the entire file being backed up for snapshotting filesystems, and atomicity of I/O operations is much harder. It just doesn't scale well for large mailboxes. As Aki recommends, use something other than mbox unless you got some legacy issue. > How would you do this when migrating from an old server to a new one? Lots of third party scripts out there that will convert for you. I think you can do dovecot->dovecot dsync to convert. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

migrate Maildir to mdbox
by Tamas Papp 02 May '17

02 May '17

Hi, I replaced HDDs in my home server and reinstalled the OS (Ubuntu 17.04). Since I had some time I reviewed my Dovecot configuration and changed a couple of things, including mailbox format. Now I would like to migrate e-mail (about 20G -- I use this server as an e-mail archive). The Maildir is available on the (old) hard disk. The new dovecot is running. What should I use? Would mbsync work? I would prefer a solution that does not mess up the UUIDs, but I can live with that too. $ dovecot --version 2.2.27 (c0f36b0) Incidentally, would you recommend sdbox or mdbox? Lots of e-mails, many of them have large attachments. best, Tamas

Issue with parsing of forwarded messages with attachments and quotes in the subject
by Giovanni Salvatore Fois 02 May '17

02 May '17

Hi all, at work we use Roundcube acting as a mail client for the Dovecot Imap server. In Roundube the messages are parsed through the Imap BODYSTRUCTURE command If a message contains forwarded messages and attachments and some of the messages contains a quote (") in the subject, then the resulting BODYSTRUCTURE appears to be malformed. --- After some digging through the code of Dovecot, it seems to me that the problem is related to the function: imap_append_string_for_humans defined at the line 120 of the file src/lib-imap/imap-quote.c (dovecot sources v. 2.2.29) Said function is supposed to return a quoted version of the input string while removing unwanted characters from the input data. But, if I call it with a string containing quotes as argument (eg: I am a lazy " programmer) in the resulting output the quotes aren't escaped and the output string is not quoted. ---- This is related to the stated issue through the function calls in: part_write_body [ defined at line 142 of imap-bodystructure.c ] which calls imap_envelope_write [defined at line 46 of imap-envelope.c] which finally calls imap_append_string_for_humans ---- Thank you for your time. Best regards, Giovanni S. Fois

Dovecot 2.2 maildir replication issue
by Joelly Alexander 01 May '17

Hello, I'm just trying to setup two mailservers with dovecot 2.2, postfix, mysql, postfixadmin where i would like to sync the maildirs between them; I'm at the point where sending/receiving and qouta is working and try the maildir replication but it only creates the maildir directories (as example: /srv/vmail/test.domain/screenie/) on the second server but nothing inside the maildir is copied over; Both servers are setup identical except the things which have to be different (ssl certs and mail_replica node entries); This is what i'm getting in the log but stuck at: dsync-server(screenie(a)test.domain): Error: User has no home directory I assume it's the user_query in dovecot-sql.conf.ext but not 100% sure nor an idea to fix it; May 1 18:09:48 mx1 dovecot: doveadm(192.168.1.10,screenie(a)test.domain): Debug: auth input: user=screenie(a)test.domain May 1 18:09:48 mx1 dovecot: doveadm(192.168.1.10,screenie(a)test.domain): Debug: auth input: screenie(a)test.domain mail=maildir:/srv/vmail/test.domain/screenie/ quota_rule=*:bytes=102400000 uid=5000 gid=5000 May 1 18:09:48 mx1 dovecot: doveadm(192.168.1.10,screenie(a)test.domain): Debug: Added userdb setting: mail=maildir:/srv/vmail/test.domain/screenie/ May 1 18:09:48 mx1 dovecot: doveadm(192.168.1.10,screenie(a)test.domain): Debug: Added userdb setting: plugin/quota_rule=*:bytes=102400000 May 1 18:09:48 mx1 dovecot: doveadm(192.168.1.10,screenie(a)test.domain): Debug: Effective uid=5000, gid=5000, home= May 1 18:09:48 mx1 dovecot: doveadm(192.168.1.10,screenie(a)test.domain): Debug: Quota root: name=User Quota backend=dict args=:proxy::sqluserquota May 1 18:09:48 mx1 dovecot: doveadm(192.168.1.10,screenie(a)test.domain): Debug: Quota rule: root=User Quota mailbox=* bytes=102400000 messages=0 May 1 18:09:48 mx1 dovecot: doveadm(192.168.1.10,screenie(a)test.domain): Debug: Quota rule: root=User Quota mailbox=Trash bytes=+10240000 (10%) messages=0 May 1 18:09:48 mx1 dovecot: doveadm(192.168.1.10,screenie(a)test.domain): Debug: Quota grace: root=User Quota bytes=10240000 (10%) May 1 18:09:48 mx1 dovecot: doveadm(192.168.1.10,screenie(a)test.domain): Debug: dict quota: user=screenie(a)test.domain, uri=proxy::sqluserquota, noenforcing=0 May 1 18:09:48 mx1 dovecot: doveadm(192.168.1.10,screenie(a)test.domain): Debug: Namespace inbox: type=private, prefix=, sep=/, inbox=yes, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes location=maildir:/srv/vmail/test.domain/screenie/ May 1 18:09:48 mx1 dovecot: doveadm(192.168.1.10,screenie(a)test.domain): Debug: maildir++: root=/srv/vmail/test.domain/screenie, index=, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=/srv/vmail/test.domain/screenie, alt= May 1 18:09:48 mx1 dovecot: dsync-server(screenie(a)test.domain): Error: User has no home directory May 1 18:09:53 mx1 dovecot: doveadm(screenie(a)test.domain): Debug: auth input: user=screenie(a)test.domain May 1 18:09:53 mx1 dovecot: doveadm(screenie(a)test.domain): Debug: auth input: screenie(a)test.domain mail=maildir:/srv/vmail/test.domain/screenie/ quota_rule=*:bytes=102400000 uid=5000 gid=5000 May 1 18:09:53 mx1 dovecot: doveadm(screenie(a)test.domain): Debug: Added userdb setting: mail=maildir:/srv/vmail/test.domain/screenie/ May 1 18:09:53 mx1 dovecot: doveadm(screenie(a)test.domain): Debug: Added userdb setting: plugin/quota_rule=*:bytes=102400000 May 1 18:09:53 mx1 dovecot: doveadm(screenie(a)test.domain): Debug: Effective uid=5000, gid=5000, home= May 1 18:09:53 mx1 dovecot: doveadm(screenie(a)test.domain): Debug: Quota root: name=User Quota backend=dict args=:proxy::sqluserquota May 1 18:09:53 mx1 dovecot: doveadm(screenie(a)test.domain): Debug: Quota rule: root=User Quota mailbox=* bytes=102400000 messages=0 May 1 18:09:53 mx1 dovecot: doveadm(screenie(a)test.domain): Debug: Quota rule: root=User Quota mailbox=Trash bytes=+10240000 (10%) messages=0 May 1 18:09:53 mx1 dovecot: doveadm(screenie(a)test.domain): Debug: Quota grace: root=User Quota bytes=10240000 (10%) May 1 18:09:53 mx1 dovecot: doveadm(screenie(a)test.domain): Debug: dict quota: user=screenie(a)test.domain, uri=proxy::sqluserquota, noenforcing=0 May 1 18:09:53 mx1 dovecot: doveadm(screenie(a)test.domain): Debug: Namespace inbox: type=private, prefix=, sep=/, inbox=yes, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes location=maildir:/srv/vmail/test.domain/screenie/ May 1 18:09:53 mx1 dovecot: doveadm(screenie(a)test.domain): Debug: maildir++: root=/srv/vmail/test.domain/screenie, index=, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=/srv/vmail/test.domain/screenie, alt= May 1 18:09:53 mx1 dovecot: doveadm(screenie(a)test.domain): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions from /srv/vmail/test.domain/screenie: mode=0700 gid=default May 1 18:09:53 mx1 dovecot: dsync-local(screenie(a)test.domain): Error: User has no home directory root@mx1:/# dovecot -n #

most secure password scheme
by David Mehler 30 Apr '17

30 Apr '17

Hello, I have a few questions on password schemes. Is SHA512 the most secure? Is there a difference between SHA512 and SHA512-CRYPT? What about SSHA512 and SSH512-CRYPT? Is there a problem with this sql statement: UPDATE virtual_users SET password=CONCAT(‘{SHA256-CRYPT}’, ENCRYPT (‘Password Goes Here’, CONCAT(‘$5$’, SUBSTRING(SHA(RAND()), -16)))) WHERE user=’user(a)example.xn--com-to0a; I'm getting an error 1064 at the ending email address. Thanks. Dave.

IMAP hibernate and scalability in general
by Christian Balzer 30 Apr '17

30 Apr '17

Hello, as some may remember, we're running very dense IMAP cluster here, in excess of 50k IMAP sessions per node (current record holder is 68k, design is for 200k+). The first issue we ran into was that the dovecot master process (which is single thread and thus a bottleneck) was approaching 100% CPU usage (aka using a full core) when trying to spawn off new IMAP processes. This was rectified by giving IMAP a service count of 200 to create a pool of "idling" processes eventually, reducing the strain for the master process dramatically. That of course required generous cranking up ulimits, FDs in particular. The next issues of course is (as mentioned before) the memory usage of all those IMAP processes and the fact that quite a few things outside of dovecote (ps, etc) tend to get quite sedate when dealing with tens of thousands of processes. We just started to deploy a new mailbox cluster pair with 2.2.27 and having IMAP hibernate configured. Getting this work is a PITA though with regards to ownership and access rights to the various sockets, this part could definitely do with some better (I know, difficult) defaults or at least more documentation (none besides the source and this ML). Initial results are very promising, depending on what your clients are doing (are they well behaved, are your users constantly looking at other folders, etc) the vast majority of IDLE processes will be in hibernated at any given time and thus not only using a fraction of the RAM otherwise needed but also freeing up process space. Real life example: 240 users, 86 imap processes (80% of those not IDLE) and: dovecot 119157 0.0 0.0 10452 3236 ? S Apr01 0:21 dovecot/imap-hibernate [237 connections] That's 237 hibernated connections and thus less processes than otherwise. I assume that given the silence on the ML what we are going to be the first hibernate users where the term "large scale" does apply. Despite that I have some questions, clarifications/confirmations: Our current default_client_limit is 16k, which can be seen by having 5 config processes on our 65k+ session node. ^_- This would also apply to imap-hibernate, one wonders if that's fine (config certainly has no issues) or if something smaller would be appropriate here? Since we have idling IMAP processes around most of the time, the strain of re-spawning proper processes from imap-hibernate should be just as reduced as for the dovecot master, correct? I'll keep reporting our experiences here, that is if something blows up spectacularly. ^o^ Christian -- Christian Balzer Network/Systems Engineer chibi(a)gol.com Global OnLine Japan/Rakuten Communications http://www.gol.com/

configuration sanity check

Hello, Can I get a sanity check on this configuration? It's a database setup of Dovecot 2.2 with Postfix. I'm having issues and i'd like to know if there's anything glaringly wrong with my configuration? With the password hash situation, should I go with SHA512, SHA512-CRYPT or the SSHA512-CRYPT? Thanks.

We are running dovecot 2.2.27 on solaris 10 and have several hundred accounts with this map inconsistency: Apr 27 12:51:06 <servername> dovecot: [ID 583609 local0.warning] lda(<userid>): Warning: mdbox /<storage-path>: Inconsistency in map index (10,29152 != 10,63560) The users of these accounts can't delete or move mails and often have trouble logging in or lags, because dovecot will try to fix the error and possibly disconnect them at any action. The warning does not occur on every action (imap/pop3 or lda). We did not have a hard reboot or any hardware trouble out of the ordinary (the machine is old and intermittently under higher load). After a variable length of time with these warnings the user accounts develop the following error: Apr 26 22:50:09 <servername> dovecot: [ID 583609 local0.error] imap(<userid>@): Error: Log synchronization error at seq=28,offset=117000 for /<storage-path>/dovecot.map.index: Extension record inc drops number below zero (uid=<uid>, diff=-1, orig=0) force-resync did not help at any stage of the problem and only got the index to continually count up. The only solution we found through which we could save the users flags is to copy the mdbox-files, delete the originals, and then re-import the copy into the user's account via doveadm import.

Pigeonhole / Bug with "duplicate" ?
by Gilles Chauvin 28 Apr '17

28 Apr '17

Hello, Previously, while running Dovecot 2.2.27/Pigeonhole 0.4.16 the following code snippet was working as one would expect: if duplicate { addflag ["\\seen", "Duplicate"]; fileinto "Duplicate"; stop; } if address :contains "to" "user.email(a)example.com" { addflag "$label1"; } After upgrading to Dovecot 2.2.29.1/Pigeonhole 0.4.18 it's not working anymore. When an e-mail is sent to the user the "$label1" isn't applied at all to the message (in the case it's NOT a duplicate). Downgrading to Dovecot 2.2.29.1/Pigeonhole 0.4.17 exposes the same incorrect behaviour. Downgrading to Dovecot 2.2.29.1/Pigeonhole 0.4.16 is OK. When running pigeonhole 0.4.17 & 0.4.18, commenting the "if duplicate {}" block restores the expected behaviour. Looks like a bug that appeared in 0.4.17? Am I correct? Kind regards, Gilles.

[BUG] OpenSSL function has been deprecated
by Peter van der Does 26 Apr '17

26 Apr '17

In src/lib-ssl-iostream/iostream-openssl-params.c a call is made to DH_generate_parameters. This function has been deprecated since OpenSSL 0.9.8. With OpenSSL 1.1 compilation will throw an error.

Problems with Dovecot to mysql socket with SELinux
by Robert Moskowitz 26 Apr '17

26 Apr '17

Anyone here running Dovecot connecting to mysql through the mysql.sock with SELinux enabled? I am getting access errors that go away when I put SELinux in permissive mode. I cannot find any direct help on this. Most howtos say to disable SELinux; they just don't want to bother, and in part I can see that. I have tried making a policy with allow2access and I get really bad SELinux errors with that. So I am looking to see if anyone else is running this combination? thanks
