[Dovecot] maildir quota divergence
by Juan Carlos Sanchez 03 Mar '14

03 Mar '14

Hello; We are using maildir quotas and have found differences in many users in respect to what system command are showing and doveadm quotas. For example, four user test, we have: doveadm quota get -u test Quota name Type Value Limit % STORAGE 98066 102400 95 MESSAGE 883 - 0 But if we check user mail_location with "du" system command we get he is using 70458 Kb. We are running dovecot 2.1.17 ¿any clue? Thanks in advance.

[Dovecot] No speed improvement with FTS for iOS 7?
by Nicholas Riley 02 Mar '14

02 Mar '14

Hi, I recompiled Dovecot with Lucene FTS to try to improve iOS 7 IMAP search speed. Unfortunately this does not seem to help. I have 60 mailboxes, totaling 300 MB; lucene-indexes is 30 MB in size. % doveadm mailbox status -t all '*' messages=16335 recent=0 unseen=1736 vsize=280049586 Searching for a single word which is present in two messages of one mailbox takes 40 seconds to return. This is true whether or not fts is enabled. doveadm search takes much less than 1 second to do the same search. % time doveadm search BODY cython d8f09230c97af952b60c0000c1443b93 1 d8f09230c97af952b60c0000c1443b93 2 doveadm search BODY cython 0.18s user 0.05s system 99% cpu 0.230 total With fts disabled, it takes about 6.5 seconds. This is still a long way from 40 seconds. Is there any way I can make dovecot perform better here? Thanks, -- Nicholas Riley <njriley(a)illinois.edu>

[Dovecot] + prefix in dovecot-virtual
by Nicholas Riley 01 Mar '14

01 Mar '14

Hi, The "+" prefix in dovecot-virtual does not seem to be documented. only discovered it because I tried to include a mailbox whose name began with + and Dovecot gave me an error when I tried to copy to it. I see it was added here: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.2/rev/be0f0de75e34 My dovecot-virtual file looked like this: !+/2014-03 +/2014-02 all I just added another + to the second line and it seems to work. I don't care about \Recent thankfully but is there a better way to specify a mailbox whose name begins with +? Thanks. -- Nicholas Riley <njriley(a)illinois.edu>

[Dovecot] Force SSL authentication per user basis
by Urban Loesch 28 Feb '14

28 Feb '14

Hi, I'm searching a way to force encrypted connections for POP3/IMAP on a per user basis. To not break clients which still connect in plaintext (there are still many of it) I must implement a mechanism to force encrypted connections on a per user basis. The users and passwords are stored in a mysql database. So there would be no problem to expand the database with a column like "ssl_tls" -> yes/no. The problem now: how can I get dovecot to process this field in the right way? I searched the list and googled about such a way, but I can't find any solution. My Dovecot version is 2.2.12. Many thanks and regards Urban Loesch

[Dovecot] Logging authentication failures when Dovecot's auth service used to authenticate postfix smtpd
by MV 28 Feb '14

28 Feb '14

Hello, tl;dr: Is there a way to get dovecot's auth to log failed smtp authentications without having to switch on "auth_verbose"? postfix version 2.11.0 and dovecot version 2.2.12 I'm currently migrating my postfix+courier to postfix+dovecot and so far it's working as expected. Except for logging smtp login failures. Despite Postfix logging successful authentications (see sample below), it doesn't log failed smtp logins. Feb 25 22:28:53 mailer2 postfix/submission[20274]: C981B20198: client=A-B-C-D.*****.net[A.B.C.D]:63107, sasl_method=PLAIN, sasl_username=joe(a)example.net And since my postfix setup authenticates virtual users through Dovecot's auth, I thought maybe dovecot could report smtp login failures the same way it reports imap and pop3 login failures. Below is a sample extracted from "info_log_path" after several imap and pop3 login failures. (Obviously the IP 255.... is made up and irrelevant for this mater). # begin extract "/var/log/dovecot-info.log" 2014-02-27 21:14:26 auth: Info: passwd-file(joe(a)example.net,255.255.255.255,<Y0lbzmnzfwAuQV80>): Password mismatch 2014-02-27 21:16:46 auth: Info: passwd-file(foobar,255.255.255.255,<Y0lbzmnzfwAuQV80>): unknown user 2014-02-27 21:52:00 auth: Info: passwd-file(foo(a)example.net,255.255.255.255,<0Su6VGrzGwAuQV80>): unknown user 2014-02-27 21:53:35 auth: Info: plain(?,255.255.255.255,<0Su6VGrzGwAuQV80>): Empty username 2014-02-27 21:53:55 auth: Info: plain(?,255.255.255.255,<0Su6VGrzGwAuQV80>): Username character disallowed by auth_username_chars: 0x5c (username: \0) 2014-02-27 22:08:05 auth: Info: plain(?,255.255.255.255): invalid input 2014-02-27 22:09:36 auth: Info: passwd-file(joe(a)example.net,255.255.255.255): Password mismatch 2014-02-27 22:09:53 auth: Info: login(?,255.255.255.255): Empty username # end extract I've tried adding "-L -o info_log_path=/var/log/dovecot-info.log" to the both auth and auth-worker services but that yield nothing. ----------------------%<-------------------------------- auth_mechanisms = plain login auth_verbose = yes base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/ info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-info.log log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log log_timestamp = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S " passdb { args = scheme=CRYPT username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/virtual_users driver = passwd-file } userdb { args = username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/virtual_users default_fields = uid=vmail gid=vmail driver = passwd-file override_fields = home=/home/vmail/%d/%u result_failure = return-fail result_internalfail = return-fail } service auth-worker { executable = auth -w -L -o info_log_path=/var/log/dovecot-info.log } service auth { executable = auth -L -o info_log_path=/var/log/dovecot-info.log unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-auth { group = postfix user = postfix mode = 0660 } } service lmtp { executable = lmtp -L -o info_log_path=/var/log/dovecot-info.log unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { group = postfix user = postfix mode = 0660 } } ---------------------->%-------------------------------- The relevant postfix config is ... smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot smtpd_sasl_path = private/dovecot-auth virtual_transport = lmtp:unix:private/dovecot-lmtp

[Dovecot] Dovecot2 vs. AD, "Inactivity during authentication"
by Jeroen Scheerder 28 Feb '14

28 Feb '14

Hi, I'm trying to setup Dovecot2 for o IMAP client access o LDA for postfix mail delivery (with SIEVE) ... on a FreeBSD host. The FreeBSD server has no users (by intention), so I've set up a virtual mail domain, using LDAP lookups in Postfix. So far so good. Mail delivers into the proper mailbox. But I'm stuck getting Dovecot to authenticate. User- and passwd DB's are set up for LDAP lookups to AD, using an authenticated bind (the AD server offers no anonymous binds, yet). I've enabled all the debugging I can find, but my logs have little information to offer. Any help in getting me a step further would be much appreciated. In particular, I'd like to learn how do diagnose these userdb/passdb issues properly. Here's what I see in the logs: Feb 27 12:25:49 <mail.info> ponyboy dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Inactivity during authentication (disconnected while authenticating, waited 172 secs): user=<>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured, session=<r/ERi2HzQAB/AAAB> Feb 27 12:26:42 <mail.err> ponyboy dovecot: auth: Error: PLAIN(js,127.0.0.1,<r/ERi2HzQAB/AAAB>): Request 74099.1 timed out after 225 secs, state=1 This logging is related to the folloging IMAP session: ponyboy% telnet localhost 143 Trying 127.0.0.1...

[Dovecot] Quota-Status issue
by Cyberonic Turbo 27 Feb '14

27 Feb '14

Following this guide: http://sys4.de/en/blog/2013/04/08/postfix-dovecot-mailbox-quota/ I can't seem to get it to work, as soon as I add the smtpd_recipient_restrictions setting to postfix I can no longer send mail at all. I get the message SMTP Error (450): Failed to add recipient "postmaster(a)example.com" (4.7.1 : Recipient address rejected: Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information.). I googled around and found this command to test the quota-status service: printf "recipient=postmaster at example.com\nsize=1234\n\n" | nc 127.0.0.1 12340 It seems to always return the quota_status_nouser message.

Hello, i know i know, i'm getting annoying but appearently i always come up with weird ideas and i cant seem to accomplish such a task. the scenario is that i have an LDAP server with a bunch of users. some of them are in a specific OU, and i'd like to define for all these users belonging to this OU an alternative mail location/storage. in details for all the users i'd like to use maildir storage in a directory, while for the users belonging to a specific OU i'd like to use dbox with an alternative storage attached. so i created 2 userdb like this: userdb { driver = ldap args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap-maildir.conf.ext } userdb { driver = ldap args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap-dbox.conf.ext } and then defined these 2 args files: maildir: hosts = localhost dn = CN=ldapadmin,OU=administrators,DC=plutone,DC=local dnpass = <password> auth_bind = yes ldap_version = 3 base = DC=plutone,DC=local user_attrs = sAMAccountName=home=/var/vmail/%$ dbox: hosts = localhost dn = CN=ldapadmin,OU=administrators,DC=plutone,DC=local dnpass = <password> auth_bind = yes ldap_version = 3 base = OU=dboxusers,OU=lowpriority,DC=plutone,DC=local user_attrs = sAMAccountName=home=/var/local_dbox/%$, =mail=dbox:/var/local_dbox/%$:ALT=/var/iscsi_dbox/%$ user_filter = (&(ObjectClass=person)(mail=%u)) yet it doesn't matter how hard i try if i send an email to a user belonging to the dboxusers OU i still have the user to be addressed to the maildir storage in /var/vmail am i missing something? Thanks Francesco

[Dovecot] Dovecot upgrade 1 to 2 on Debian Squeeze : broken /var/run/dovecot
by Si L 26 Feb '14

26 Feb '14

Hi, I just upgraded from version 1 to version on Debian Squeeze using their backports. Like I expected my dovecot1 config had to be converted using doveconf and this I did. However, I see problems with files inside directory: drwxr-xr-x 4 dovenull root 4096 Feb 25 20:35 /var/run/dovecot All of them were created owned by root:root rw. I tried to changed, for example : chown postfix:dovecot /var/run/dovecot/auth-master but noticed when I restarted dovecot it reset the permissions back to root:root rw. Here's the version: # dovecot --version 2.1.7 Here's my slightly redacted conf. # grep -v ^# dovecot.conf|grep -v ^$ auth_mechanisms = plain login auth_verbose = yes dict { quotadict = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-quota.conf } disable_plaintext_auth = no first_valid_uid = 106 log_timestamp = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S " mail_location = maildir:/var/xx/%d/%u/ mail_plugins = quota mail_privileged_group = mail maildir_very_dirty_syncs = yes passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql.conf driver = sql } plugin { quota_rule = *:storage=262144:messages=20000 quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=282144:messages=23000 } service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-master { mode = 0600 user = vmail } user = root } service imap-login { chroot = login inet_listener imap { address = 127.0.0.1 port = 3993 } inet_listener imaps { address = * port = 993 } process_limit = 256 process_min_avail = 24 service_count = 1 vsz_limit = 48 M } service pop3-login { chroot = login process_limit = 256 process_min_avail = 24 service_count = 1 vsz_limit = 48 M } ssl = required ssl_ca = </etc/ssl/certs/xxx.combined_for_dovecot.pem ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/private/xx.xx.xx.crt ssl_cipher_list = TLSv1+HIGH:!SSLv2:RC4+MEDIUM:!aNULL:!eNULL:!3DES:@STRENGTH ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/xx.xx.xx.key ssl_verify_client_cert = yes userdb { args = uid=5000 gid=5000 home=/var/xx/%d/%u allow_all_users=yes driver = static } userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql.conf driver = sql } valid_chroot_dirs = /var/xx protocol imap { mail_max_userip_connections = 96 mail_plugins = quota imap_quota } protocol pop3 { pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv } protocol lda { auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master log_path = mail_plugins = sieve quota postmaster_address = xxxx@xxxxx } I really don't understand how I should make this work, and the after I read the docs on dovecot.org and googled I realised I was really lost getting this back up and runing :( I should be really grateful if somebody would give me some advice.

[Dovecot] Upgrading from 1.2.x -> 2.2.x in one step possible
by Götz Reinicke - IT Koordinator 26 Feb '14

26 Feb '14

Hi, after some off-ML discussions to and some reconsiderations, we might do the "big jump" from our current 1.2.17 to the atrpms 2.2. From googling and reading the dovecot upgrade wiki I don't see any (big) pitfalls. Basically we use the default config options, mbox, pop3s/imaps on RH EL 5. So "just" run the upgrade-config script, fingers crossed and thats it? Ii it possible to do such a big step form 1.2 to 2.2? Thanks for comments and suggestions .

[Dovecot] Removing Mount Points
by Jeff Geiger 26 Feb '14

26 Feb '14

Dovecot version 2.1.7 If a dovecot mount point (drive) dies, and the data is restored into the same path that's no longer a mount point (subfolder), dovecot complains about a missing mount point. Is it safe to do a `doveadm mount remove {path}` to fix the error since it's no longer a legit mount point? Example: We were storing indexes on an SSD drive mounted at /mnt/ssd. That drive died. I was able to put everything back into the /mnt/ssd folder (no longer mounted, just a folder). Everything seems to be working as expected. But, when I just went to dsync an account from another server to this one, I got the following error: dsync(sales(a)foo.com): Error: Couldn't create index dir /mnt/ssd/indexes/6/a/ sales(a)foo.com/mailboxes: Can't create mailbox root dir /mnt/ssd/indexes/6/a/ sales(a)foo.com/mailboxes: Mountpoint /mnt/ssd isn't mounted. Mount it or remove it with doveadm mount remove Would doing a `doveadm mount remove /mnt/ssd` fix my issue, or cause some type of catastrophe? Thanks, Jeff Geiger jeff.geiger(a)firespring.com

Re: [Dovecot] AUTH_USER variable has invalid value in checkpassword Script

answering my own questions: > This has somehow changed and now AUTH_USER always > contains the username. This has fatal consequences as no > every owner of a valid certificate can logon as any user. I now use auth_ssl_username_from_cert = yes and this temporarily fixes my problem. Now if user A authenticates with his certificate and claims to be user B he will be logged on as user A. With ssl_username_from_cert = no (default) he was logged in as User B. > I'm absolutely sure that the value of the x500UniqueIdentifier > was stored into the AUTH_USER when I tested my setup > last year. If one looks at the source code, in particular routine env_put_auth_vars() in src/auth/db-checkpassword.c and routine auth_request_get_var_expand_table() in src/auth/auth-request.c it is clear, that this has never worked. The environemnt variable AUTH_USER always contais the username (in all Dovecot versions). It dows NOT contain the Dovecot auth_user-variable. Comparing AUTH_USER with the username makes no sense in a checkpassword-script So here's my next question: How do I find out the original username from within a chackpassword script after it has been replaced by the x500UniqueIdentifier value from a client certificate? Why is request->requested_login_user == NULL in env_put_auth_vars(). request->user contains the x500UniqueIdentifier value from the clients certificate so the original username was replaced and therefore should have been moved into request->requested_login_user.

Hi, we still run dovecot 1.2.17 and upgrading is not planed for some time. But I'm asked to install a sieve system to be used with SOGo soon. What do I have to install / configure? Is installing/configuring the dovecot-sieve-0.1.19 and dovecot-managesieve-0.11.13 enough? We still use mostly the default settings for imaps/pop3s. And of course configure SOGo.

[Dovecot] AUTH_USER variable has invalid value in checkpassword Script
by dovecot.pkoch＠dfgh.net 25 Feb '14

25 Feb '14

Dear dovecot experts: We are using client certificates to authenthicate against a Dovecot server. Our certificates contain a x500UniqueIdentifier. I'm absolutely sure that the value of the x500UniqueIdentifier was stored into the AUTH_USER when I tested my setup last year. This has somehow changed and now AUTH_USER always contains the username. This has fatal consequences as now every owner of a valid certificate can logon as any user. Here are some more details of our setup: We are using a checkpassword-Script that does the following: 1. Read Username and Password from file descriptor 3 2. If (AUTH_CERT=="valid") and (AUTH_USER==Username) then user is authenticated 3 If (AUTH_CERT=="valid") and (AUTH_USER<>Username) then authentication is rejected (User a tries to logon as User B) 4 If (AUTH_CERT<>"valid) we calculate the current OATH value for Usernames TOTP-token and compare that with the provided password. The last step is the reason why we are using a checkpassword script. Our smartphone users cannot use a smartcard but enter a password that was created by an OTP generator, so programming my own checkpassword script was my only option. AUTH_USER contains the username even if the x500UniqueIdentifier from the users certificate does not, so step 2 happens when step 3 should happen. I did the initial testing with Dovecot 2.2.6. At that time we were using both port 143 and 993. We now use Dovecot 2.2.7 and port 993 only. This should not make a difference but I will recompile 2.2.6 right after sending this posting.

[Dovecot] A question regarding doveadm replicator status
by XarHs 25 Feb '14

25 Feb '14

Hello, I am using Dovecot version 2.2.10. I am quite familiar with ssh replication and I managed to set it up correctly. The only problem I see is that when i run the command: doveadm replicator status I get a wrong "Total number of known users" which is a) is different between the two (2) replicated dovecot servers, i.e. in mail1 I get a total of 21 users and in mail2 I get a total of 20 users (it should be the same, correct?) b) is not matching the total number of users I have in each server (mail1, mail2) which I am also getting when counting the total users with "doveadm" service enabled. (the command doveadm user '*' | wc lists a total of 16 users for both mail1, mail2 servers, which is also the total number of users that exist indeed in the LDAP structure with the doveadm service enabled. Is there any way to reset the value of "Total number of known users"? Do I have to delete a file in /var/run/dovecot or something in order to do it? The only way I tried (not successfully though) to reset it is by executing the command: for i in `doveadm user '*'` ;do doveadm replicator remove $i ; done which does empties all existing users (16), but leaves me with Queued 'sync' requests 0 Queued 'high' requests 0 Queued 'low' requests 0 Queued 'failed' requests 0 Queued 'full resync' requests 0 Waiting 'failed' requests 0 Total number of known users 5 in mail1 server and Queued 'sync' requests 0 Queued 'high' requests 0 Queued 'low' requests 0 Queued 'failed' requests 0 Queued 'full resync' requests 0 Waiting 'failed' requests 0 Total number of known users 4 in mail2 server, i.e. the value is 5 (21-16) for mail1 and 4 (20-16) for mail2 server. After seeing that I tried to restart dovecot service, which again ended in the following numbers: Queued 'sync' requests 0 Queued 'high' requests 0 Queued 'low' requests 0 Queued 'failed' requests 0 Queued 'full resync' requests 0 Waiting 'failed' requests 0 Total number of known users 21 in mail1 server and Queued 'sync' requests 0 Queued 'high' requests 0 Queued 'low' requests 0 Queued 'failed' requests 0 Queued 'full resync' requests 0 Waiting 'failed' requests 0 Total number of known users 20 in mail2 server thus their values augmented back to +16, meaning dovecot read succesfully my 16 users. I have not found a way to successfully reset the "Total number of known users" numbers back to the valid 16 users, which is also returned by running the command: doveadm user '*' | wc Why do I have those differences? How is the "Total number of known users" being calculated? What should I do to effectively reset to to the normal value (which in my case is 16)? Thanks in advance.

[Dovecot] tests with metadata module
by Mihai Badici 25 Feb '14

25 Feb '14

--Repost after subscription as list member --- I made some tests with metadata support in dovecot 2.2.10. Previously I had dovecot 2.2.4 with external metadata plugin who work well. I use dovecot with roundcube and roundcube plugins from kolab project . First, the feature activation was tricky and rather undocumented. I spent about half hour googling, after that I set: imap_metadata = yes and mail_attribute_dict = file:%h/shared_metadata I think you cold put those lines in the 20-imap.conf example file commented; that way will be easy for us to activate. Because I changed the location of shared_metadata, all folders was unannotated . I went in folder manager in roundcube and set folder "calendar" as calendar type and so on. That worked and i have: cat shared_metadata: shared/c4268a04da44bb527c5b0000193e0904/vendor/kolab/folder-type event shared/cd5792367fc9cd5196170000193e0904/vendor/kolab/folder-type event shared/33f55d2e8912195209290000193e0904/vendor/kolab/folder-type event shared/32f55d2e8912195209290000193e0904/vendor/kolab/folder-type contact However, it looks like the metadata is not properly read after. Calendar and Contacts folders don't appear in roundcube. I have this crash in dovecot's log: Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x67d81) [0xb7625d81] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x67e11) [0xb7625e11] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_fatal+0) [0xb75d6af9] -> dovecot/imap() [0x805d3b2] -> dovecot/imap() [0x805d5bc] -> dovecot/imap() [0x805d6c9] -> dovecot/imap(client_handle_input+0x56) [0x805d836] -> dovecot/imap(client_input+0x72) [0x805dcc2] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_call_io+0x38) [0xb7638d98] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0x10e) [0xb7639d6e] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x48) [0xb7638818] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(master_service_run+0x28) [0xb75dcb68] -> dovecot/imap(main+0x284) [0x8050f34] -> /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf5) [0xb743f5a5] -> dovecot/imap() [0x80510a5] Dec 26 09:28:49 imap(mihai.badici): Fatal: master: service(imap): child 4919 killed with signal 6 (core dumps disabled) I logged imap sessions in roundcube and I have: A0003 GETMETADATA "*" (/private/vendor/kolab/folder-type /shared/vendor/kolab/folder-type) On a similar server with the "old" metadata plugin, I have here listed all folders with coresponding annotations.

[Dovecot] Detail improvement: %c variable
by Hadmut Danisch 25 Feb '14

25 Feb '14

Hi, although dovecot is great and almost exactly solving my problems and fitting my requirements, there is an odd detail that causes me problems: The %c variable. (See http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Variables ) I'm managing an IMAP server for an association, which is connected to an LDAP server. Users can connect in three ways: IMAPS from the internet, IMAP from local acccounts, and IMAP through a Web->IMAP interface, which is protected through additional one-time-passwords. The web gateway is intended to be used from untrusted computers as well, so the IMAP password entered through the Web site must not be the same as the password used on IMAPS. I have solved this problem by using %s%c as part of the LDAP user_filter. When people connect over IMAPS, this becomes imapsecured (%s=imap, %c=secured), while an unencrypted connect becomes imap (%s=imap, %c=) Unfortunately, this works only, if the web interface and the IMAP server are located on different (virtual) machines. But if the web gateway and dovecot are no the /same/ machine, this does not work anymore, since %c becomes "secured" on localhost, even if unencrypted. It causes a lot of trouble and headache. Please add a configuration variable to configure, whether %c should become "secured" for unencrypted traffic on the loopback device (localhost). regards Hadmut

[Dovecot] realtime backup with LDA?
by Francesco 25 Feb '14

25 Feb '14

Hello everyone, i was reading the dovecot-lda documentation as i'm using LDA as a delivery agent on my current mailserver configuration. I was curious to know if there are some options for having a message to be delivered to a "twin mailbox" upon delivery. this twin mailbox would work as a backup archive for recovering emails in case the user accidentally deletes them. so if i have a user which is alice i would create a second mailbox named backup_alice or whatever respecting a predictable schema and then every mail delivered to alice would also be delivered to backup_alice. do you know if this can be done? have any example? i was also planning to use shared folders + ACLS to have backup_alice accessible as a read only mailbox directly from the alice imap account. thanks in advance Francesco

[Dovecot] Why are ACLs for non-existent mailboxes accepted?
by Boris 25 Feb '14

25 Feb '14

Dovecot 2.2.9-1 accepts SETACL commands that share mailboxes to non-existent mailboxes. There is no error message. Is this intended behavior? I think it's bad because clients present a success message when indeed the intent of the user failed. Typos are hard to catch.

[Dovecot] dsync, a zero-way synchronisation tool?
by Fabiano Sidler 24 Feb '14

24 Feb '14

Hi folks! I have set up dsync replication with SSH according to http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Replication with the exception of having system users and calling doveadm dsync-server directly from authorized_keys, because the wrapper script posted on the above site is needless (at least in 2.2.10). However, while the two instances connect well to each other, no synchronisation is performed at all, the mailboxes happily remain untouched. I've then temporarily replaced SSH with socat and captured the traffic. Any hints what goes wrong? Unfortunately there are no logs to provide... Greetings, Fabiano

Hello Everyone, I use dovecot2-2.2.10, FreeBSD 9.2-RELEASE. Replication was set up according to: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Replication, dsync wrapper script is used. It seems that all is worked as desired, but i see the following into log file: doveadm: Error: dsync-remote(XXX@YYY): Info: save: box=INBOX, ... There were no such log records when i tried replication without wrapper script. Best regards, Andrei

[Dovecot] doveadm mailbox command in multi instance setup
by Peer Heinlein 22 Feb '14

22 Feb '14

We're running Dovecot in a multipe instance cluster with individual userdb-querys to different LDAP-Servers. As far as I can see there's no way to use the doveadm mailbox command with different Auth-Sockets or different configurations. While root@dobby4:/etc/dovecot# doveadm user -a /var/run/dovecot-xy/auth-master p.heinlein(a)example.com field value uid 10000 gid 10000 home /mail/example.com/123456/ mail mdbox:~/mdbox quota_rule2 *:storage=50G is working, using doveadm -c /etc/dovecot/dovecot-xy.conf mailbox list -u p.heinlein(a)example.com does NOT an (user unknown). How can use a different auth socket with "doveadm mailbox" commands? (Maybe using the network socket could be a working way, but what about normal way on the command line?)

[Dovecot] Dovecot / Postfix and the quota-status
by nathan＠schultheiss.fr 22 Feb '14

22 Feb '14

Dovecot Version: 2.2.12 Postfix Version: 2.9.6 Hello I've configured the quota-status service (socket and port). When I call the service with shell, he replied request=smtpd_access_policy sender=sender(a)domain.tld recipient=recipient(a)domain.tld size=100000 action=552 5.2.2 Mailbox is full In shell the service returns a 552 when the quota is exceeded, but when postfix call it, the service return alway DUNNO. How it's possible to debug the quota-status for understand why to postfix the service return DUNNO and not 552 ? The mailbox it's overquota already, all quota check with shell return the good reply (552).

Hi All, I have my initial mailproxy setup with director through to my initial backend mailstore. POP3 and IMAP user authentication is working ok on the proxy and the mailstore.

[Dovecot] Syntax of pattern in map section
by da-dovecotlist-15＠abelonline.de 20 Feb '14

20 Feb '14

I can't seem to find any documentation on the meaning/syntax of the "pattern" variable in map sections that are found in dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext for example. I am trying to setup shared folders. The only thing[1] I found is: >>First you'll need to know what kind of dict paths the code uses. ACL >>plugin uses these paths: >> >>shared/shared-boxes/anyone/$owner >>shared/shared-boxes/user/$user/$owner >>shared/shared-boxes/group/$group/$owner What is a "dict path"? Is this some kind of hard coded identifier in the Dovecot code? I need to understand how they work because I can't use the example in http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Shared. This is because in my PostreSQL table users are not a single column but two columns with the local and domain part[2]: Table "public.shared_mailboxes" Column | Type -----------------------+------------------------ shared_mailbox_local | character varying(64) shared_mailbox_domain | character varying(253) shared_to_local | character varying(64) shared_to_domain | character varying(253) How should a map section look in this case? [1]http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2009-April/038922.html [2]I did this in order to use REFERENCES to ensure the user exist. Kind regards

Refer to server log for more information. on log file I see this: Feb 17 16:21:34 mail1 dovecot: auth-worker(8430): Warning: mysql: Query failed, retrying: Unknown column 'filter' in 'where clause' Feb 17 16:21:34 mail1 dovecot: auth-worker(8430): Error: sql(account(a)domain.tld): User query failed: Unknown column 'filter' in 'where clause' but I never used filter in dovecot: grep -iR filter /etc/dovecot/ gives me no result (and yes the dir is right).

I also never see it documented somewhere: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/SQL http://wiki2.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase/ExtraFields Thomas

[Dovecot] virtualfolders all mails minus duplicates
by Francesco 19 Feb '14

19 Feb '14

Hello everyone, i'm trying to mess up a bit with virtual folders and i'm trying to perform something like this: i'd like to create an IMAP virtual folder which shows me all the emails in in INBOX and subfolders but by removing "duplicates" what i mean as duplicates? simply i can recognize duplicate emails as the ones with the same message-id in the header (this was just an idea). in that way if i have a message which is present in more then one folder then it's displayed only once. i considered the idea of using message-id in the header as a criteria, but i don't know if this can be done in this way or in any way at all. any suggestion is really welcome. i'm using dovecot 1.2.15. this is a namespace example just for reference: for INBOX: namespace private { separator = . prefix = INBOX. #subscriptions = yes #list = no inbox = yes } for virtuals: namespace private { prefix = v. separator = . location = virtual:/var/utenti/%Ld/%n/VirtualFolders list = yes inbox = no subscriptions = yes hidden = no } as of now i'm running a virtualfolder which shows messages flagged as important which is done like this: INBOX INBOX.* all flagged hope you can provide me with some hints. Thanks very much Francesco

Dovecot sent mail with information about exceeded space to email in envelope_sender. It is possible to configure that dovecot sent mail to header from address? I need use sender_canonical_maps in postfix because i want also relay mail outgoing. Thanks for helping me, Piotr -- View this message in context: http://dovecot.2317879.n4.nabble.com/Use-header-from-instead-envelope-sende… Sent from the Dovecot mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Dovecot] Filtering spam in an offlineimap + dovecot setup
by Alan Schmitt 19 Feb '14

19 Feb '14

Hello, To easily access my mail both offline on my computer and on my phone, I am synchronizing a local copy on my computer using offlineimap. As the spam filtering options provided on the server are not sufficient, I am now looking into client-side spam filtering. My current setup is as follows. Mail is synchronized using offlineimap, and delivered to a local dovecot server: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- [Repository LocalIMAP] type = IMAP preauthtunnel = /usr/local/Cellar/dovecot/2.2.10/libexec/dovecot/imap -c ~/.dovecotzimbra.rc --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- The configuration of the local server is simply: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- protocols = imap mail_location = maildir:~/.Maildir/zimbra:INBOX=~/.Maildir/zimbra/.INBOX --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- I then read my mail using gnus, and index it using notmuch. A suggestion I've been considering is use the pigeonhole sieve extprograms plugin (http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Pigeonhole/Sieve/Plugins/Extprograms) to call the spam filter (I've been looking at dspam at the moment). However, I could not find how to configure the use of sieves in the context of offlineimap. Hence my questions: Is it possible to use dovecot sieves in such a setting? Is there a howto that explains how to do it? Should I try to do things in a different way? (I'm ready to change my setup, as long as I can keep an offline copy of my email in sync with a server copy.) Thanks a lot for any suggestion, Alan PS: I used to use SpamSieve (http://c-command.com/spamsieve/) on a Mac Mini that was running continuously as a spam filter drone. This machine has been retired and I'm basically looking for leaner ways to do a similar thing.

[Dovecot] dovecot antispam plugin not found
by Alan Schmitt 19 Feb '14

19 Feb '14

Hello, I'm trying to setup dovecot-antispam, and even though the configuration and the installation seem to have gone well, dovecot is telling me it's not finding it. Here is the symptom: schmitta@top-wifi ~> /usr/local/Cellar/dovecot/2.2.10/libexec/dovecot/imap -c ~/.dovecotzimbra.rc Fatal: Plugin 'antispam' not found from directory /usr/local/Cellar/dovecot/2.2.10/lib/dovecot However there seems to be a plugin there: schmitta@top-wifi ~> ls -al /usr/local/Cellar/dovecot/2.2.10/lib/dovecot/ | grep antispam -rwxr-xr-x 1 schmitta admin 38460 18 fév 22:40 lib90_antispam_plugin.bundle I note that it is the only plugin with the ".bundle" extension, if it's important. My configuration file is as follows (I'm not finished with the antispam configuration yet): --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- protocols = imap mail_location = maildir:~/.Maildir/zimbra:INBOX=~/.Maildir/zimbra/.INBOX default_login_user = _dovenull default_internal_user = _dovecot protocol imap { # mail_plugins = $mail_plugins antispam } protocol lda { log_path = ~/.logs/dovecot-lda-errors.log info_log_path = ~/.logs/dovecot-lda.log mail_plugins = $mail_plugins sieve } plugin { sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_plugins = sieve_extprograms sieve_extensions = +vnd.dovecot.filter sieve_filter_bin_dir = /usr/local/lib/dovecot/sieve-filter antispam_backend = DSPAM antispam_signature = X-DSPAM-Signature } --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Should I do something special to be able to load the antispam plugin? Thanks, Alan

[Dovecot] Virtual folder for selected users only? (1.2.15)
by Sebastian Schäfer 19 Feb '14

19 Feb '14

hi, i want to set up virtual folders just for some users on our mailserver. the server is set up with a virtual system-user for each of our clients having multiple mailboxes/users (provided by dovecot-mysql). mailboxes are located: /var/mails/SYSUSER/MAILBOX f.e. my mailbox-folder is set to /var/mails/bergschaf/sebastian[at]bergschaf.net {homedir} = /var/mails {maildir} = bergschaf/sebastian[at]bergschaf.net user_query = SELECT homedir AS home, concat('maildir:', maildir) AS mail, uid, gid, concat('maildir:storage=', (quota*1024)) as quota FROM mail_users WHERE username = '%u' now i want to add virtual folders to my mailbox without affecting any other client/mailbox on the server. i already tried to add a namespace "virtual" like mentioned in the wiki and in some other hotwo-guides, but this points to the need to create a "virtual"-folder for each mailbox what i would like to avoid. (f.e. location = %h/%u/virtual => /var/mails/sebastian[at]bergschaf.net). is it possible to enable a namespace just for some selected users on the server? if that's not possible - i'm not sure how to set the location-directive correctly, because i can't find a variable pointing to the maildir: %u => sebastian[at]bergschaf.net %h => /var/mails ...but how should i point the location to {homedir}/{maildir}/virtual? thanks! sebastian dovecot --version 1.2.15

[Dovecot] failed: Message has been copied too many times
by Angel L. Mateo 19 Feb '14

19 Feb '14

Hello, I'm running dovecot 2.1.16 in a ubuntu 12.04 server, with lazy_expunge, SiS and mdbox format. The problem I'm having is that the index for one the mailboxes of one of my users is growing too much. This is not the first time of this problem. In previous cases, is because a message is duplicated thousand of times (I haven't found any reason for this). In these cases, moving messages to other folder and moving again to this same folder fixes the problem. So I have tried this, and I have moved all messages from this folder to another one. But this time, after this, indexes directory is still using a lot of space. And the folder seems to have more serious problems: amateo_adm@myotis51:~$ sudo doveadm search -u vlo mailbox BORRADOS.INBOX.MNCS doveadm(vlo): Error: Syncing mailbox BORRADOS.INBOX.MNCS failed: Message has been copied too many times (59306 + -1) I have tried to delete the folder, with the same result: amateo_adm@myotis51:~$ sudo doveadm mailbox delete -u vlo BORRADOS.INBOX.MNCS doveadm(vlo): Error: Can't delete mailbox BORRADOS.INBOX.MNCS: Message has been copied too many times (59306 + -1) And to purge user's mailbox, but it didn't fix the problem. PS: If this could help, BORRADOS. is the namespace used by lazy_expunge plugin. -- Angel L.
