wiki: Plugins/Virtual: SQL error?

Is one of these supposed to be imap? Note that none of the namespaces have inbox=yes. This is because for IMAP users you want the inbox namespace to have inbox=yes, but for POP3 users you want the virtual namespace to have inbox=yes. This requires setting the inbox=yes in userdb extra fields <http://wiki2.dovecot.org/UserDatabase/ExtraFields>. For example with MySQL you can can do this like: user_query = SELECT ..., \ CASE '%s' WHEN 'pop3' THEN NULL ELSE 'yes' END AS 'namespace/inbox/inbox', \ CASE '%s' WHEN 'pop3' THEN 'yes' ELSE NULL END AS 'namespace/virtual/inbox' \ WHERE ... -- Larry Rosenman http://www.lerctr.org/~ler Phone: +1 214-642-9640 (c) E-Mail: larryrtx(a)gmail.com US Mail: 17716 Limpia Crk, Round Rock, TX 78664-7281

Pigeonhole/sieve possibly corrupting mails
by Ladislav Laska 08 Nov '16

08 Nov '16

Hi! I'm here again with a problem. I'm using dovecot as an IMAP server and LDA, filtering mail via sieve. However, few times a day I get the following error on server and my client (mutt) gets disconnected. Oct 15 20:20:29 ibex dovecot: imap(krakonos): Error: Corrupted index cache file /home/krakonos/.mbox/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.cache: Broken physical s ize for mail UID 149418 in mailbox INBOX: read(/home/krakonos/.mbox/inbox) failed: Cached message size smaller than expected (3793 < 8065, box=INBOX, UID=149418, cached Message-Id=<88deda0d-86f6-6115-af10-60ac06bb2d22(a)rename-it.nl>) Oct 15 20:20:29 ibex dovecot: imap(krakonos): Error: read(/home/krakonos/.mbox/inbox) failed: Cached message size smaller than expected (3793 < 8065, box=INBOX, UID=149418, cached Message-Id=<88deda0d-86f6-6115-af10-60ac06bb2d22(a)rename-it.nl>) (FETCH BODY[] for mailbox INBOX UID 149418) Oct 15 20:20:29 ibex dovecot: imap(krakonos): FETCH read() failed in=110326 out=5115197 This is on a new message (attached), and this error happens on some messages when first opened. Once I reconnect, the message always opens fine, and no old message ever causes problem. I also noticed this error, which is possibly connected: Oct 15 20:15:12 ibex dovecot: lda(krakonos): Error: Next message unexpectedly corrupted in mbox file /home/krakonos/.mbox/inbox at 546862809 The filesystem is ext4, and there are no errors in syslog or problems with any other services. I also don't access the mbox locally, and only dovecot manipulates the mbox (via imap and mailbox_command = /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver) The postfix version is 2.2.25. I'm attaching dovecot -n and the offending message (after it's been corrected). I'd rather not publish my sieve file, but will send it privately. The offending message also contains other message I received at approximately the same time. Any hint's on what could be wrong? -- S pozdravem Ladislav "Krakonoš" Láska http://www.krakonos.org/

I am getting this error after updating to dovecot2-2.2.26.0_1 under FreeBSD 10.2 when a user tries to login via roundcube webmail. I am able to login via my own mail client and there is no error in the log when roundcube fails to login. I stopped dovecot, removed all the dovecot files from the maildir folders and restarted dovecot, but get the same error. <https://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=473>

Backing up and Importing IMAP folders
by Jerry 08 Nov '16

08 Nov '16

I am running Dovecot with Postfix on a FreeBSD machine. There are problems with the drive and I cannot depend on it. Dovecot saves all mail in IMAP format. I want to back up the mail folders, install a new HD, install the latest FreeBSD OS and then reinstall my programs. Reinstalling Dovecot is simple, but how do I reinstall the IMAP folders? Can Dovecot backup the folders onto a CD and then import them when I reinstall it? My mail is kept under “/var/mail/vmail”. Should I just back up that entire directory structure and then restore it later? Thanks! -- Jerry

logging TLS SNI hostname
by Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz 08 Nov '16

08 Nov '16

Is there a way to log SNI hostname used in TLS session? Info is there in SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback, dovecot copies it to ssl_io->host. Unfortunately I don't see it expanded to any variables ( http://wiki.dovecot.org/Variables ). Please consider this to be a feature request. The goal is to be able to see which hostname client used like: May 30 08:21:19 xxx dovecot: pop3-login: Login: user=<abc>, method=PLAIN, rip=1.1.1.1, lip=2.2.2.2, mpid=17135, TLS, SNI=pop3.somehost.org, session=<hfS9Qwk03sBTBnrN> -- Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz, arekm / ( maven.pl | pld-linux.org )

HI All I have a dovecot 1 server up and running without zlib and I am setting up a new Dovecot 2 Server and I want to use zlib. What is the proper way to do this? Should I set up the new server, copy the mail across and then enable zlib or do I compress the current mail in place and then copy across? Thanks for any help.

sieve sending vacation message from vmail@ns1.domain.tld
by Matthew Broadhead 07 Nov '16

07 Nov '16

I have a server running centos-release-7-2.1511.el7.centos.2.10.x86_64 with dovecot version 2.2.10. I am also using roundcube for webmail. when a vacation filter (reply with message) is created in roundcube it adds a rule to managesieve.sieve in the user's mailbox. everything works fine except the reply comes from vmail(a)ns1.domain.tld instead of user(a)domain.tld. ns1.domain.tld is the fully qualified name of the server. it used to work fine on my old CentOS 6 server so I am not sure what has changed. Can anyone point me in the direction of where I can configure this behaviour?

I'm running my mail-storage on NFS, so I suspect the errors are due to locking? So is there no way to run count as quota backend with NFS? Thanks. -- Tom

deleting indices
by cheese＠nosuchhost.net 04 Nov '16

04 Nov '16

hi i have dovecot 2.0.9 - the version from rhel6 - and the following setup: two imap-servers with distinct /var/indices. those directory is local only, no sharing. the users mailboxes life on a shared nfs-storage. the two servers are setup active/passive: only one server is active and in case of a problem or maintenance the second server jumps in. no director in place. we would like to upgrade to rhel7 and add a director. there would be dovecot 2.2.10, but will take some time. one application (horde + activesync which use imap to access emails) seems to have troubles during the second server being active. horde relies according to their deveolpers heavily on modseq/qresync and if we switch to the seconds side there is another set of index-files. my knowledge was that deletion/corruption of index-files would be never a problem, as dovecot recreates them automatically. is this true for QRESNC, too? * is it a problem to have a old set of index-files on the second server, as this system is only in use every 3-4 weeks? * would it be better to start with empty indices? but there we have trouble with horde. and as it seems only with horde. "normal" imap-clients seem to be fine. yours josef

After an OS upgrade (to FreeBSD 11 with pkg Dovecot 2.2.26) I'm getting this sort of thing in my logs: Nov 3 12:15:16 toma dovecot: lda(doug): Error: program `/usr/local/lib/dovecot/sieve-pipe/growlmail' was forcibly terminated with signal 15 Debugging gives a little more info: Nov 3 12:05:51 toma dovecot: lda(doug): Debug: waiting for program `/usr/local/lib/dovecot/sieve-pipe/growlmail' to finish after 0 msecs Nov 3 12:05:51 toma dovecot: lda(doug): Debug: program `/usr/local/lib/dovecot/sieve-pipe/growlmail'(11794) execution timed out after 10 milliseconds: sending TERM signal growlmail is specified via a sieve rule: pipe :try :copy "growlmail"; This would seem to be a function of input_idle_timeout_msecs in lib-program-client/program-client-local.c, but it's not clear where this is set (or why it would be 10 milliseconds by default). Is there a way to up this timeout?

It's not about adding an index there, but about trying to open "MAILARCHIVE" itself as a folder. fts-lucene attempts to use an existing folder's indexes for tracking some (rather useless) settings information.

v2.2.26.0 released
by Timo Sirainen 02 Nov '16

02 Nov '16

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.26.0.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.26.0.tar.gz.sig v2.2.26 had a couple of nasty bugs left in it, so here's a fixup release. The version number is also a little bit weird, but had to be done this way (although 2.2.26.0.1 could have been another possibility). - Fixed some compiling issues. - auth: Fixed assert-crash when using NTLM or SKEY mechanisms and multiple passdbs. - auth: Fixed crash when exporting to auth-worker passdb extra fields that had empty values. - dsync: Fixed assert-crash in dsync_brain_sync_mailbox_deinit

Dovecot Issues on FreeBSD 10.3 and FreebSD 11.0
by The Doctor 02 Nov '16

02 Nov '16

Hello everyone. I see we are having issues with dovecot 2.226.0 in the FreeBSD world. I did run dovecot-2.2.26.rc1 myself and did not see repeat problem in POP3 or IMAP issue customers were reporting. I see this repeat issue in dovecot 2.26.0 either port or compiled similarly. So the question begs way so many problem in BSD after the initial release and not in rc1 ? -- Member - Liberal International This is doctor@@nl2k.ab.ca Ici doctor@@nl2k.ab.ca God,Queen and country!Never Satan President Republic!Beware AntiChrist rising! http://www.fullyfollow.me/rootnl2k Look at Psalms 14 and 53 on Atheism Time for the USA to hold a referendum on its republic and vote to dissolve!!

Server migration
by Gandalf Corvotempesta 01 Nov '16

01 Nov '16

Hi i have to migrate, online, a dovecot 1.2.15 to a new server. Which is the best way to accomplish this? I have 2 possibility: 1) migrate from the very old server to a newer server with the same dovecot version 2) migrate from the very old server to a new server with the latest dovecot version can i simply use rsync to sync everything and, when the sync is quick, move the mailbox from the old server to the new server? My biggest concern is how to manage the the emails that are coming during the server switch. Let's assume a 50gb maildir , the first sync would require hours to complete (tons of very small files) do i can't shutdown the mailbox. The second sync would require much less time and would also sync the email received during the first sync (but the mailbox is still receiving new emails) now, as third phase, i can move the mailbox to the new server (by changing the postfix configuration) so that all new emails are received on the new server and then start the last rsync (by removing the --delete flag or any new emails would be deleted as not existsnt on the older server) Any better solution?

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.16 for Dovecot v2.2.26.0.
by Stephan Bosch 01 Nov '16

01 Nov '16

Hello Dovecot users, Here's the definitive 0.4.16 release. There were no changes since the release candidate. The reported replication issues are still open, since we haven't been able to reproduce them so far. Changelog v0.4.16: * Part of the Sieve extprograms implementation was moved to Dovecot, which means that this release depends on Dovecot v2.2.26+. * ManageSieve: The PUTSCRIPT command now allows uploading empty Sieve scripts. There was really no good reason to disallow doing that. + Sieve vnd.dovecot.report extension: + Added a Dovecot-Reporting-User field to the report body, which contains the e-mail address of the user sending the report. + Added support for configuring the "From:" address used in the report. + LDA sieve plugin: Implemented support for a "discard script" that is run when the message is going to be discarded. This allows doing something other than throwing the message away for good. + Sieve vnd.dovecot.environment extension: Added vnd.dovecot.config.* environment items. These environment items map to sieve_env_* settings from the plugin {} section in the configuration. Such values can of course also be returned from userdb. + Sieve vacation extension: Use the Microsoft X-Auto-Response-Suppress header to prevent unwanted responses from and to (older) Microsoft products. + ManageSieve: Added rawlog_dir setting to store ManageSieve traffic logs. This replaces at least partially the rawlog plugin (mimics similar IMAP/POP3 change). - doveadm sieve plugin: synchronization: Prevent setting file timestamps to unix epoch time. This occurred when Dovecot passed the timestamp as 'unknown' during synchronization. - Sieve exprograms plugin: Fixed spurious '+' sometimes returned at the end of socket-based program output. - imapsieve plugin: Fixed crash occurring in specific situations. - Performed various fixes based on static analysis and Clang warnings. The release is available as follows: http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.16.ta… http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.16.ta… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x wiki for more information. Have fun testing this release and don't hesitate to notify me when there are any problems. Regards, -- Stephan Bosch stephan(a)rename-it.nl

2.2.26.0: Error: redis: Unexpected input (state=0): -ERR max number of clients reached
by Tom Sommer 01 Nov '16

01 Nov '16

I use redis as quota backend (currently). After upgrading to 2.2.26.0 I see a ton of "Error: redis: Unexpected input (state=0): -ERR max number of clients reached" errors. It looks like either more Redis connections are being made, or Redis connections don't time out/are reused correctly anymore. No such errors were seen in 2.2.24. -- Tom

IP Addresses
by Stephen Hanselman 01 Nov '16

01 Nov '16

Good Morning, Can someone point me to the area in Dovecot that deals with incoming IP addresses. Specifically I want to determine if it is possible to "spoof" the address or is the address I look at in the headers the actual address that made the connection request (hopefully it is). Thank you Steve Hanselman

Safe to run migration on live/production server?
by mrobti＠insiberia.net 31 Oct '16

31 Oct '16

I have an old mbox formatted INBOX and folders that need to be converted to a Maildir. Can I run the dsync command when the server is live and Dovecot LMTP is delivering new mails to the same user? Will it be able to preserve UIDs and not confuse any indexes? I started the job with deliveries disabled so the conversion could complete, but it's taking too long. I want to know if I can re-enable mail deliveries and not cause problems. I see it building a massive number of files in the user's Maildir/tmp folder, which I presume is normal. By the way, what's the size multiplier for mbox to maildir for many small emails only a couple K each? I'm finding it's a lot more disk space for maildir in this case.

Dovecot Proxy and Director
by Gandalf Corvotempesta 29 Oct '16

29 Oct '16

Hi, just a simple question: by using a directory and a proxy, I would be able to totally hide the pop3/imap server ip addresses from outside? I'm asking this because I would like to hide the real server IP for security reasosn (DDoS and so on). The proxy would be placed on servers with high bandwidth while the pop3/imap dovecot servers are placed in a small datacenter that would go down easily in case of attack

use a second userdb that only returns extra fields
by Alexander 'Leo' Bergolth 28 Oct '16

28 Oct '16

Hi! Is it possible to get all basic userdb information from the passwd userdb and add a second userdb of type checkpassword that only sets some additional extra fields like namespaces? I tried the following setup: -------------------- 8< -------------------- userdb { driver = passwd result_success = continue-ok } userdb { driver = checkpassword args = /usr/local/sbin/dovecot-userdb.py skip = never } -------------------- 8< -------------------- ... but it seems that as soon as the second userdb is active, dovecot doesn't take settings like uid and gid from the first userdb anymore. (Even if I don't set userdb_uid and userdb_gid in checkpassword.) On the other hand there are no environment variables that pass the settings from the previous lookup to the checkpassword script.

v2.2.26 released
by Timo Sirainen 28 Oct '16

28 Oct '16

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.26.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.26.tar.gz.sig There were some changes since rc1: https://github.com/dovecot/core/commit/54d654098032d96975b70749b505fae538e9… Mainly there are quite a lot of director fixes and improvements. Here's the full list of changes: * master: Removed hardcoded 511 backlog limit for listen(). The kernel should limit this as needed. * doveadm import: Source user is now initialized the same as target user. Added -U parameter to override the source user. * Mailbox names are no longer limited to 16 hierarchy levels. We'll check another way to make sure mailbox names can't grow larger than 4096 bytes. + Added a concept of "alternative usernames" by returning user_* extra field(s) in passdb. doveadm proxy list shows these alt usernames in "doveadm proxy list" output. "doveadm director&proxy kick" adds -f <passdb field> parameter. The alt usernames don't have to be unique, so this allows creation of user groups and kicking them in one command. + auth: passdb/userdb dict allows now %variables in key settings. + auth: If passdb returns noauthenticate=yes extra field, assume that it only set extra fields and authentication wasn't actually performed. + auth: passdb static now supports password={scheme} prefix. + auth, login_log_format_elements: Added %{local_name} variable, which expands to TLS SNI hostname if given. + imapc: Added imapc_max_line_length to limit maximum memory usage. + imap, pop3: Added rawlog_dir setting to store IMAP/POP3 traffic logs. This replaces at least partially the rawlog plugin. + dsync: Added dsync_features=empty-header-workaround setting. This makes incremental dsyncs work better for servers that randomly return empty headers for mails. When an empty header is seen for an existing mail, dsync assumes that it matches the local mail. + doveadm sync/backup: Added -I <max size> parameter to skip too large mails. + doveadm sync/backup: Fixed -t parameter and added -e for "end date". + doveadm mailbox metadata: Added -s parameter to allow accessing server metadata by using empty mailbox name. + Added "doveadm service status" and "doveadm process status" commands. + director: Added director_flush_socket. See http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Director#Flush_socket + doveadm director flush: Users are now moved only max 100 at a time to avoid load spikes. --max-parallel parameter overrides this. + Added FILE_LOCK_SLOW_WARNING_MSECS environment, which logs a warning if any lock is waited on or kept for this many milliseconds. - master process's listener socket was leaked to all child processes. This might have allowed untrusted processes to capture and prevent "doveadm service stop" comands from working. - login proxy: Fixed crash when outgoing SSL connections were hanging. - auth: userdb fields weren't passed to auth-workers, so %{userdb:*} from previous userdbs didn't work there. - auth: Each userdb lookup from cache reset its TTL. - auth: Fixed auth_bind=yes + sasl_bind=yes to work together - auth: Blocking userdb lookups reset extra fields set by previous userdbs. - auth: Cache keys didn't include %{passdb:*} and %{userdb:*} - auth-policy: Fixed crash due to using already-freed memory if policy lookup takes longer than auth request exists. - lib-auth: Unescape passdb/userdb extra fields. Mainly affected returning extra fields with LFs or TABs. - lmtp_user_concurrency_limit>0 setting was logging unnecessary anvil errors. - lmtp_user_concurrency_limit is now checked before quota check with lmtp_rcpt_check_quota=yes to avoid unnecessary quota work. - lmtp: %{userdb:*} variables didn't work in mail_log_prefix - autoexpunge settings for mailboxes with wildcards didn't work when namespace prefix was non-empty. - Fixed writing >2GB to iostream-temp files (used by fs-compress, fs-metawrap, doveadm-http) - director: Ignore duplicates in director_servers setting. - director: Many fixes related to connection handshaking, user moving and error handling. - director: Don't break with shutdown_clients=no - zlib, IMAP BINARY: Fixed internal caching when accessing multiple newly created mails. They all had UID=0 and the next mail could have wrongly used the previously cached mail. - doveadm stats reset wasn't reseting all the stats. - auth_stats=yes: Don't update num_logins, since it doubles them when using with mail stats. - quota count: Fixed deadlocks when updating vsize header. - dict-quota: Fixed crashes happening due to memory corruption. - dict proxy: Fixed various timeout-related bugs. - doveadm proxying: Fixed -A and -u wildcard handling. - doveadm proxying: Fixed hangs and bugs related to printing. - imap: Fixed wrongly triggering assert-crash in client_check_command_hangs. - imap proxy: Don't send ID command pipelined with nopipelining=yes - imap-hibernate: Don't execute quota_over_script or last_login after un-hibernation. - imap-hibernate: Don't un-hibernate if client sends DONE+IDLE in one IP packet. - imap-hibernate: Fixed various failures when un-hibernating. - fts: fts_autoindex=yes was broken in 2.2.25 unless fts_autoindex_exclude settings existed. - fts-solr: Fixed searching multiple mailboxes (patch by x16a0) - doveadm fetch body.snippet wasn't working in 2.2.25. Also fixed a crash with certain emails. - pop3-migration + dbox: Various fixes related to POP3 UIDL optimization in 2.2.25. - pop3-migration: Fixed "truncated email header" workaround.

Subscription not immediately reflected
by John van der Kamp 27 Oct '16

27 Oct '16

Hello, I noticed that somewhere between 2.2.22 and 2.2.25 the workings of subscriptions seem to have changed. In version 2.2.25, when a client subscribes to a folder, and then does an LSUB command, it will not see that subscribed folder. If you retry the LSUB command, the change is there. Same with unsubscribes. In version 2.2.22 I did not see this weird behavior. John

multiple SSL certificates story
by Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz 26 Oct '16

26 Oct '16

Hi. Little story :-) I'm playing with dovecot 2.2.25 and multiple SSL certificates. ~7000 certificates which are loaded twice, so my dovecot has ~14 000 certificate pairs (14k key + 14k cert) in config. 14 000 local_name entries. Like these: local_name imap.example.com { ssl_cert = </etc/certs/cert1.pem ssl_key = </etc/certs/cert1.pem } local_name pop3.example.com { ssl_cert = </etc/certs/cert1.pem ssl_key = </etc/certs/cert1.pem } (it needs to be "duplicated" like this because dovecot doesn't support globs/regexps for local_name, so can't use: local_name *.example.com { ssl_cert = </etc/certs/cert1.pem ssl_key = </etc/certs/cert1.pem } ) All certificates take 87MB on disk. Dovecot config for certificates itself is 3MB. Now fun begins. Trying to start dovecot fails Oct 26 12:49:59 ixion dovecot[19831]: master: Dovecot v2.2.25 (7be1766) starting up for imap, pop3, lmtp (core dumps disabled) Oct 26 12:50:01 ixion dovecot[19835]: config: Fatal: pool_system_malloc(1608): Out of memory Oct 26 12:50:01 ixion dovecot[19831]: master: Error: service(config): command startup failed, throttling for 2 secs Oct 26 12:50:01 ixion dovecot[19835]: config: Fatal: master: service(config): child 19837 returned error 83 (Out of memory (service config { vsz_limit=1024 MB }, you may need to increase it) - set CORE_OUTOFMEM=1 environment to get core dump) Oct 26 12:50:01 ixion dovecot[19835]: anvil: Fatal: Error reading configuration: read(/var/run/dovecot/config) failed: read(size=8192) failed: Connection reset by peer Oct 26 12:50:01 ixion dovecot[19835]: ssl-params: Fatal: Error reading configuration: read(/var/run/dovecot/config) failed: read(size=8192) failed: Connection reset by peer Oct 26 12:50:01 ixion dovecot[19831]: master: Error: service(anvil): command startup failed, throttling for 2 secs Oct 26 12:50:01 ixion dovecot[19831]: master: Error: service(ssl-params): command startup failed, throttling for 2 secs vsz_limit=1024 MB not enough. 2048 MB not enough.

What can be done to make it work and how? ps. for comparison on how others handle SSL certificates. Exim MTA for example can easily handle milions of SSL certificates.That's because it loads certificates on demand, when these are actually needed. Core part of exim ssl config is two lines: tls_privatekey = ${if exists{/etc/certs/cert.${lc:${sha1:${lc:${tls_sni}}}}.pem}{/etc/certs//cert.${lc:${sha1:${lc:${tls_sni}}}}.pem}{/etc/certs/default-cert.key}} tls_certificate = ${if exists{/etc/certs/cert.${lc:${sha1:${lc:${tls_sni}}}}.pem}{/etc/certs/cert.${lc:${sha1:${lc:${tls_sni}}}}.pem}{/etc/certs/default-cert.pem}} which means check runtime if file on disk exists; if it exists then use it for tls_XYZ option; if it doesn't exist use default-cert.{pem/key} (sha1/lowercase game is to make sure that attacker cannot put own filename in TLS SNI servername). That's all. There is no memory impact and only little cpu impact with such solution. The other big advantage of exim solution is also no need for daemon to reload its config. You only change/add/remove certificate files on disk. ps2. thanks to letsencrypt project you can have thousands certificates for each domain/subdomain possible, so such usage should grow -- Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz, arekm / ( maven.pl | pld-linux.org )

Replication with SSL
by deZillium 26 Oct '16

26 Oct '16

Hello, - Set up a pair of servers according to http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Replication -Enabled SSL for both servers - Dovecot version: 2.2.13 (Debian 8.6) I couldn't find an option to specify the certificate that doveadm should use when connecting to the other server. Both servers have hostnames that are different, as verified by dovecot --hostdomain(as per the instructions) but use a common certificate when emailclients connect to them (high availability setup). Yes, single server login works as expected, been working for the past few years :-). Setting up a custom ssl_client_ca_file doesn't work, since doveadm doesn't know which certificate it should send when connecting to the other doveadm. Setting the ssl_client_ca_dir tothe directory with the global CAsdoesn't work either, since doveadm doesn't use the hostname that dovecot actually uses. The custom self-signed CA works when used outside dovecot(mysql for example). Is there any configuration thatneeds to be changed in order for doveadm to use a custom self signed certificate? Thank you

Shared storage for dovecot cluster
by Gandalf Corvotempesta 26 Oct '16

26 Oct '16

As I'm planning some server migrations and a new mail architecture, i would like to create an HA cluster Any advice on which kind of shared storage should i use? Are gluster performances with small files enough for dovecot? Any other solution? It's mandatory to avoid any splibrains or similiar thus the replication must be done on at least 3 storage servers.

Problem to configure dovecot-ldap.conf.ext

Hello, Dovecot 2.2.25 CentOS 7 I setup ldap (FreeIPA) to have a user for dovecot that can (read search compare) all attributes that I need for dovecot.

Hi, can you run doveadm in gdb, wait for it to crash, and then go to frame 6 ( io_loop_handler_run_internal) and run p errno p ret p *ioloop p *ctx p *events Sorry but the crash doesn't make enough sense yet to me, we need to determine what the invalid parameter is. > Larry Rosenman http://www.lerctr.org/~ler > Phone: +1 214-642-9640 (c) E-Mail: larryrtx(a)gmail.com > US Mail: 17716 Limpia Crk, Round Rock, TX 78664-7281

Break up massive INBOX?
by mrobti＠insiberia.net 25 Oct '16

25 Oct '16

I have inherited a 10+ GB mailbox which dsync converted to maildir very nicely. But 15GB in tens of thousands of messages is too much in one INBOX when used in webmail. I guess it's best to divide the messages into subfolders for date. Is there a server-side way to safely move messages into new subfolders so that Dovecot indexes and UIDs won't break? If I write a shell script to move maildir files based on date of the files, I think Dovecot would not like this? Also, is there any way to automatically create delivery or archive folders by date eg., on the 1st of each month? And deliver mails to the subfolder for the current month? I know I can create Sieve rules for such by hand, but prefer if there is a plugin or something to do this automatically.

ssl_options missing no_ticket documentation in example config
by Christopher Head 25 Oct '16

25 Oct '16

Hello! I have a very minor bug to report. The ssl_options configuration directive takes a space-separated list of options, each of which must be in the set {“no_compression”, “no_ticket”}, according to the 2.2.25 source code. However, the file doc/example-config/conf.d/10-ssl.conf shipped in the tarball only mentions the “no_compression” option; it makes no mention of the “no_ticket” option. Oh, and by the way, the changelog <http://dovecot.org/doc/NEWS> linked from the download page is missing information for anything newer than 2.2.21. Please include me in replies; I am not subscribed to the list. -- Christopher Head

Hierarchy separator and LAYOUT=FS change
by Simeon Ott 25 Oct '16

25 Oct '16

Hello, I stumbled across a 5-year-old post on the dovecot list about changing the dovecot hierarchy separator to enable shared mailboxes (http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2011-January/056201.html <http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2011-January/056201.html>). At the moment I’m stuck in a pretty similar situation. Migrated from courier to dovecot 2 years ago and preserved the dot-separator. Because I’m using the e-mail adress as a username, the dots for folder separation and the dots in the email adresses getting messed up - I do have a pretty small mailserver with about 150 accounts. The Maildir filestructur of a typical mail account looks like this: drwx------ 2 vmail vmail 4096 Oct 10 20:02 cur drwx------ 5 vmail vmail 4096 Oct 3 07:48 .Daten.Administration drwx------ 5 vmail vmail 4096 Oct 3 09:51 .Daten.Anfragen, Werbung drwx------ 5 vmail vmail 4096 Oct 3 08:02 .Daten drwx------ 5 vmail vmail 4096 Oct 6 09:57 .Daten.Intern drwx------ 5 vmail vmail 4096 Oct 3 08:03 .Daten.Intern.Fahrzeuge drwx------ 5 vmail vmail 4096 Oct 6 12:57 .Daten.Intern.Infos, FileMaker etc drwx------ 5 vmail vmail 4096 Oct 3 09:19 .Daten.Intern.Sonstiges drwx------ 5 vmail vmail 4096 Oct 3 07:47 .Daten.Kunden drwx------ 5 vmail vmail 4096 Sep 16 08:29 .Daten.Lieferanten drwx------ 5 vmail vmail 4096 Oct 3 08:28 .Daten.Marketing drwx------ 2 vmail vmail 4096 Oct 10 20:02 new drwx------ 5 vmail vmail 4096 Oct 10 18:00 .Sent drwx------ 5 vmail vmail 4096 Oct 10 18:00 .Spam drwx------ 5 vmail vmail 4096 Oct 10 18:00 .Trash When changing the separator in my inbox namespace the documentation mentions that the filestructur doesn’t change. This means I will get the same problems when using shared boxes with email adresses as usernames. I definitly need to change to maildir:~/Maildir:LAYOUT=fs When changing to LAYOUT=fs i need to convert all the mailboxes manually, is that correct? Is dsync is the way to go? Or is it better to leave the separator and change to a different username schema (without dots in it) and advise the clients to change their credentials? I know there are people out there who successfully converted this - but I can’f find that many information about this subject. doveconf -n: # 2.1.7: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 x86_64 Debian 7.11 auth_mechanisms = plain login auth_verbose = yes lda_mailbox_autocreate = yes lda_mailbox_autosubscribe = yes listen = * login_log_format_elements = user=<%u> method=%m rip=%r lip=%l mpid=%e %c mail_gid = 5000 mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir mail_plugins = zlib quota acl mail_uid = 5000 managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date ihave namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { auto = subscribe special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Sent { auto = subscribe special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Spam { auto = subscribe special_use = \Junk } mailbox Trash { auto = subscribe special_use = \Trash } prefix = INBOX. separator = . } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf driver = ldap } plugin { acl = vfile acl_shared_dict = file:/var/spool/postfix/virtual/shared-mailboxes quota = maildir:User quota quota_exceeded_message = 4.2.2 Mailbox full quota_rule = *:storage=1G quota_rule2 = INBOX.Trash:storage=+100M quota_rule3 = INBOX.Spam:ignore quota_warning = storage=95%% quota-warning 95 %u sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_before = /var/lib/dovecot/sieve/default.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve sieve_max_actions = 32 sieve_max_redirects = 4 sieve_max_script_size = 1M sieve_quota_max_scripts = 0 sieve_quota_max_storage = 0 } protocols = " imap lmtp sieve pop3" service auth { group = dovecot unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-master { group = vmail mode = 0660 user = vmail } user = dovecot } service lmtp { unix_listener lmtp { mode = 0666 } } service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve { port = 4190 } inet_listener sieve_deprecated { port = 2000 } process_min_avail = 1 service_count = 1 vsz_limit = 64 M } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/private/startssl-onnet.ch <http://startssl-onnet.ch/>-chain.crt ssl_cipher_list = ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:DHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:AES128-GCM-SHA256:AES256-GCM-SHA384:AES128-SHA:AES256-SHA:DHE-RSA-CAMELLIA128-SHA:DHE-RSA-CAMELLIA256-SHA:CAMELLIA128-SHA:CAMELLIA256-SHA:ECDHE-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA:DES-CBC3-SHA:!SSLv2 ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/startssl-onnet.ch.key userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf driver = ldap } protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = zlib quota acl sieve } protocol lda { auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master deliver_log_format = msgid=%m: %$ mail_plugins = zlib quota acl sieve postmaster_address = postmaster(a)onnet.ch <mailto:postmaster@onnet.ch> } protocol imap { mail_plugins = zlib quota acl imap_quota imap_acl } protocol sieve { info_log_path = /var/log/sieve.log log_path = /var/log/sieve.log mail_max_userip_connections = 10 managesieve_implementation_string = Dovecot Pigeonhole managesieve_logout_format = bytes=%i/%o managesieve_max_compile_errors = 5 managesieve_max_line_length = 65536 } … parts of the ldap config user_attrs = homeDirectory=home=/var/spool/postfix/virtual/%$,uidNumber=uid,gidNumber=gid,quota=quota_rule=*:bytes=%$ user_filter = (&(objectClass=CourierMailAccount)(mail=%u)) … my shared configuration is currently commented out. # namespace { # type = shared # separator = . # prefix = shared.%%u. # location = maildir:%h/Maildir:INDEX=~/Maildir/shared/%%u # subscriptions = yes # list = children #} thanks in advance for any help Sincerely, Simeon - onnet.ch <http://onnet.ch/>
