How to correctly use readonly=yes with the sqlite driver?

Hi! I want to use a sqlite database in readonly mode, which I found mentionend in the docs [1]. Unfortunately no examples were given, so I tried to infer the usage by inspecting core/driver-sqlite.c. If I interpret it correctly, this should have worked: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext: driver = sqlite connect = readonly=yes /var/vmail/virtual.sqlite user_query = #... Unfortunately, dovecot tries to open a file named "readonly=yes /var/vmail/virtual.sqlite" instead. I have no idea why the … [View More]

I encountered an interesting problem that one originator was being dumped into the Deleted file directly by my sieve. The sieve file was quite large and it was not obvious which entry was causing the issue. I recall there was a way to get sieve-test to show what is going on and which lines it used, but I could not replicate it tonight for anything. I ended up having to change all the deliver to the Deleted files to something else and test one at a time to find the offending entry. It took a … [View More]

Interfacing mutt with Dovecott

In the past I've tried this, but Mutt was unreliable in reading folders from my local Dovecot server. It didn't see a lot of the folders. I know some people have been very successful running Mutt to access an IMAP server, so it appears to be possible. How should I run Mutt to access my Dovecot? Also, in the past I'… [View More]

Deleting "folders only" folder doesn't actually delete
by Alex 19 Jul '22

19 Jul '22

Hi, I'm using dovecot-2.3.17.1-1.fc34.x86_64 on fedora34 and Thunderbird 91 on fedora35. When creating a folder of type "folders only" in Thunderbird, then trying to delete it, it doesn't actually delete it from the filesystem. Is this a permissions problem? Or perhaps a Thunderbird problem? I don't see any messages in the logs that would indicate some type of failed attempt to delete. How do I troubleshoot this? Thanks, Alex

Having an issue migrating mailboxes with the doveadm backup tool...

Hey all. We've got some users that live on our primary email server (which lives in our internal network) that we need to migrate to a second email server (which lives in our DMZ).

Case sensitivity and unicode normalisation on ZFS for Dovecot Maildir

I'm wondering about some filesystem considerations when using Dovecot. I've read https://wiki.dovecot.org/FileSystems, but that basically talks about low-level details. My question is not about that. I use the following mail_location: maildir:~/maildir:LAYOUT=fs:INBOX=~/maildir/INBOX:UTF-8 In this setup, because I use LAYOUT=fs and UTF-8, the IMAP names are identical to the directory names. I noticed that the INBOX name is case-insensitive, but all other names are case-sensitive. I … [View More]

Malformed XLIST replies
by Bogdan Szczurek 21 Jun '22

21 Jun '22

Hi! Some (considerable) time ago, I, as one of the Mailspring (https://getmailspring.com/) users, had a problem with setting up IMAP email account hosted on home.pl. I was able to narrow down the problem to how the Mailspring handles server response regarding folder list. The problem is twofold: a) how the response is handled by Mailspring's IMAP libraries, b) how the server itself responds. As to the first part of the problem I submitted relevant bug reports (https://github.com/… [View More]MailCore/mailcore2/issues/1908 and https://github.com/dinhvh/libetpan/issues/403) and but the second part appears to belong here, since home.pl uses Dovecot as their IMAP server. Now about the problem. When XLIST is used to get the list of the folders, I get, for example: 3 XLIST "" "*" * XLIST (\HasNoChildren \) "." "Archive" * XLIST (\HasNoChildren \) "." "Courses" * XLIST (\HasNoChildren \Draft) "." "DRAFTS" * XLIST (\HasNoChildren \Inbox) "." "INBOX" * XLIST (\HasChildren \) "." "PhD" * XLIST (\HasNoChildren \) "." "PhD.Advisor" * XLIST (\HasNoChildren \) "." "PhD.Archive" * XLIST (\HasNoChildren \) "." "PhD.Articles" * XLIST (\HasNoChildren \) "." "PhD.Conferences" * XLIST (\HasNoChildren \) "." "PhD.Journals" * XLIST (\HasNoChildren \) "." "PhD.Thesis" 3 OK Completed Compare this with the LIST output: 4 LIST "" "*" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "Archive" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "Courses" * LIST (\HasNoChildren \Drafts) "." "DRAFTS" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX" * LIST (\HasChildren) "." "PhD" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "PhD.Advisor" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "PhD.Archive" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "PhD.Articles" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "PhD.Conferences" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "PhD.Journals" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "PhD.Thesis" 4 OK Completed Notice, how in the XLIST example, every item has an additional “empty” flag (“\”). This part causes libetpan to fail. While ignoring the problem as a library's problem would be perfectly understandable, I think it should be also considered if something shouldn't be done on Dovecot's end. Granted, XLIST has been long depreceated, however it still is implemented and it should be implemented properly. Perhaps I'm mistaken, but I failed to find any mention of a thing like “empty flag”. It might not be prohibited, but it strikes me as something bizarre. I am unable to get the information about the Dovecot version used by home.pl, but I suspect this problem may still be present up to the newest version. Also, if someone is willing to take a closer look at the problem, I can provide you with an email account for testing purposes. Best regards! Bogdan [View Less]

Move sent emails to sent folder?
by Austin Witmer 20 Jun '22

20 Jun '22

Hello all! I have a server running dovecot & postfix. I have a user on my server who is sending email via smtp on an HP printer and because of that, a copy of the email is not placed in the sent folder like usually happens with clients like outlook and thunderbird. Is there any way to have the sent emails copied to the sent folder for just this user on my server? Thx! Austin Witmer

Home directories with colons in it
by Jonas Pasche 16 Jun '22

16 Jun '22

Howdy folks, we're using Dovecot 2.3.19 in combination with vmailmgr as the virtual user management backend (please don't judge, there are plans to move away from it for various reasons, but as of today it's there), using the wrapper from https://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/VMailMgr - and we're facing an interesting problem with colons in home directories. I think this problem is not specific to vmailmgr but happens in any scenario that includes ":" in directory names. tl;dr: - The checkvpw-… [View More]dovecot-wrapper from the Dovecot wiki converts ":" in directory names to "::" which works fine with general IMAP use, but at least the autoexpunge plugin and ManageSieve don't handle this escaping and thus break on those users. - When patching the ":"->"::" conversion out of the checkvpw-dovecot-wrapper, Dovecot itself bails on it, interpreting it as a sub-setting. - The latter is quite surprising because a HOME/mail_home directory is supposed to be exactly one directory (AFAIK), with no sub-settings like e.g. mail_location, so I did not expect it to be "interpreted" in any way. Short story long: When you set up a user with a name containing dots, vmailmgr converts them to colons, pretty much like qmail does (qmail maps the username "xy.z" to a file named ".qmail-xy:z"; vmailmgr creates the directory "./users/xy:z" for that username). The wrapper from the dovecot wiki escapes ":" into "::" before exporting the user's directory as the HOME environment variable: /* escape possible ':' characters before finally exporting */ escape_colon(buffer, MAXLEN); setenv("HOME", buffer, 1); The result looks like that: [root@stardust ~]# doveadm auth login xy.z(a)coltest.uber.space supersecret passdb: xy.z(a)coltest.uber.space auth succeeded extra fields: user=xy.z(a)coltest.uber.space userdb extra fields: xy.z(a)coltest.uber.space home=/home/coltest/./users/xy::z <---------- notice the double colon here uid=1009 gid=1010 auth_mech=PLAIN So far, so good: Working with IMAP generally works fine, but there's a catch: Not every module seems prepared for this "::" syntax. The first notable exception is the autoexpunge plugin which simply bails on it: Error: autoexpunge: Couldn't create dovecot.autoexpunge.lock lock: file_create_locked(/home/coltest/./users/xy::z/dovecot.autoexpunge.lock) failed: safe_mkstemp(/home/coltest/./users/xy::z/dovecot.autoexpunge.lock) failed: No such file or directory The second notable exception is ManageSieve which takes the escaped directory name "as is", leading to a situation where the Maildir is in "xy:z" while the Sieve stuff is being put in "xy::z" where it effectively is never picked up during delivery (as the stuff is in the wrong location and the .dovecot.sieve symlink is - silently - not created): [coltest@stardust ~]$ ls -la users/* users/xy:z: total 28 drwx------. 9 coltest coltest 4096 Jun 16 11:39 . drwxr-xr-x. 4 coltest coltest 31 Jun 16 11:40 .. drwxr-xr-x. 2 coltest coltest 6 Jun 16 11:39 cur -rw-------. 1 coltest coltest 376 Jun 16 11:40 dovecot.index.log -rw-------. 1 coltest coltest 2676 Jun 16 11:39 dovecot.list.index.log -rw-------. 1 coltest coltest 96 Jun 16 11:39 dovecot.mailbox.log -rw-------. 1 coltest coltest 51 Jun 16 11:39 dovecot-uidlist -rw-------. 1 coltest coltest 8 Jun 16 11:39 dovecot-uidvalidity -r--r--r--. 1 coltest coltest 0 Jun 16 11:39 dovecot-uidvalidity.62aafa70 drwx------. 5 coltest coltest 108 Jun 16 11:39 .Drafts drwxr-xr-x. 2 coltest coltest 6 Jun 16 11:39 new drwx------. 5 coltest coltest 108 Jun 16 11:39 .Sent drwx------. 5 coltest coltest 108 Jun 16 11:39 .Spam -rw-------. 1 coltest coltest 28 Jun 16 11:39 subscriptions drwxr-xr-x. 2 coltest coltest 6 Jun 16 11:39 tmp drwx------. 5 coltest coltest 108 Jun 16 11:39 .Trash users/xy::z: total 0 drwx------. 3 coltest coltest 19 Jun 16 11:40 . drwxr-xr-x. 4 coltest coltest 31 Jun 16 11:40 .. drwx------. 3 coltest coltest 33 Jun 16 11:40 sieve So my initial thought was: Why is the ":" even escaped to a "::" in the first place? It shouldn't be necessary according to this clean workaround that I found in a posting from 2009 with Timo advising for this type of handling: > Hmm. Although now that I looked at your code, you seem to be using only > HOME. And using ~/ in mail_location should work around any ":" issues. > So what exactly is the problem you're seeing? https://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2009-June/040590.html (In the same thread, Timo _also_ introduced the "::" handling in Dovecot.) This is exactly what we're doing at delivery time: Setting mail_home to the real pathname including a _single_ colon (not an escaped double colon) and then pointing mail_location to "~/": /usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -a '$RECIPIENT' -f '$SENDER' -o mail_home='$MAILDIR' -o mail_location='maildir:~/' This works well. So my assumption was: If the checkvpw-dovecot-wrapper returns the HOME directory of a virtual user; where's even the need to escape a single colon to a double colon? So I gave it a try and removed that one line of escaping and recompiled the wrapper. Result: [root@stardust ~]# doveadm auth login xy.z(a)coltest.uber.space supersecret passdb: xy.z(a)coltest.uber.space auth succeeded extra fields: user=xy.z(a)coltest.uber.space userdb extra fields: xy.z(a)coltest.uber.space home=/home/coltest/./users/xy:z <---------- single colon here now uid=1009 gid=1010 auth_mech=PLAIN Using a real IMAP login, though, this lead to the "interesting" situation that the login itself worked correctly, but _then_ immediately an "Internal error occurred": [root@stardust ~]# nc localhost 143 * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE SPECIAL-USE LITERAL+ STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN] Dovecot ready. 0 LOGIN xy.z(a)coltest.uber.space supersecret 0 OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE SORT SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT MULTIAPPEND URL-PARTIAL CATENATE UNSELECT CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE QRESYNC ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH LIST-STATUS BINARY MOVE SNIPPET=FUZZY PREVIEW=FUZZY PREVIEW STATUS=SIZE SAVEDATE SPECIAL-USE LITERAL+ NOTIFY SPECIAL-USE] Logged in * BYE Internal error occurred.

Here I'm a bit stuck. My idea is to work around this by eliminating the ":" from directory names altogether by passing an explicit directory name to vadduser: [coltest@stardust ~]$ echo supersecret | vadduser --directory=./users/ab.c ab.c vadduser: user 'ab.c' successfully added [coltest@stardust ~]$ ls -l users total 0 drwx------. 5 coltest coltest 39 Jun 16 10:26 ab.c drwx------. 5 coltest coltest 39 Jun 16 09:31 xy:z But still, it would be nicer if Dovecot cleanly supported the ":" in directory names, as it seems to _want_ to support it (by introducing the "::" escaping) but then only does it halfway. Could this be fixed in whatever direction, or is there any other advice how we should handle this? All the best, Jonas [View Less]

Replying to: https://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2022-May/124816.html Hi, Looking at the code (and tested via local build from source) it looks like doveadm deduplicate in 2.3.19 can cause significant data loss.

Issue with one user only, exceeding connections
by Jeremy Schaeffer 09 Jun '22

09 Jun '22

I keep having this issue with one user, and I have to restart dovecot several times a day to clear it. What I have is a postfix / dovecot mail server (Centos 7) and about a dozen users. All mailboxes are imap ssl. I monitor about 4 mailboxes on my computer and tablet. I use Thunderbird on the computer (cache connections at 2) and K9 on the tablet, but one user of the four I keep getting "Maximum number of connections from user+IP exceeded" and I have the maximum at 50 "(… [View More]mail_max_userip_connections=50)" so its hard for me to believe I am actually exceeding it unless dovecot/client is not dropping connections and keeps starting new ones until it reaches the maximum, but again, only for one user, even though I am monitoring 4 on the same devices. Any idea how to troubleshoot this? I don't know if I should be looking at dovecot or the clients, or what I need to look for. It's been going on since I put this server in use over a year ago. I also have issues with Outlook clients disconnecting, just outlook, is there any recommended settings to make Outlook work smoother?

Occasional service disruptions
by Nikolaos Milas 08 Jun '22

08 Jun '22

Hello, On a server with (Postfix and) Dovecot 2.3.18 (on a VM running CentOS 7 - 1 CPU, 5 GB RAM) with the config you will see below, we are facing occasional (infrequent) service disruptions: IMAP service seems unavailable to some users. Jun 6 12:01:25 vweb2 roundcube: <1eecb0d4> IMAP Error: Login failed for imaptester against vmail2.noa.gr from 195.251.202.xxx. Could not connect to ssl://vmail2.noa.gr:993: Connection rejected in /var/webs/webmail/rcube/program/lib/… [View More]Roundcube/rcube_imap.php on line 211 (POST /?_task=login&_action=login) At that time there was no associated logged event in dovecot log. (Other users are logging in and out.) However, I see some warnings (I list the two of them closest to the above event): Jun 06 12:01:22 imap(user1)<29639><Vr0atcPg5M3BXBCl>: Warning: Inotify instance limit for user 500 (UID vmail) exceeded, disabling. Increase /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_instances ... Jun 06 12:01:26 imap(user2)<29793><rZuSt8PgztoKyVSG>: Warning: Inotify instance limit for user 500 (UID vmail) exceeded, disabling. Increase /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_instances (In above log excerpts I've only modified real usernames.) Restarting Dovecot returns things back to normal. I have tried to use "service_count = 100" in all configured services, to see how it goes. Most of the config is inherited from the past (older versions) and is not optimized. For example one can observe different "process_limit" values for different services, for no apparent reason I am aware of. Could anyone suggest changes and/or additions to the OS and/or Dovecot to resolve this issue? Any additional suggestions will also be welcome. Thanks in advance for your kind assistance.

The meaning of "tarpit" as used in the auth policy docs?
by Hippo Man 08 Jun '22

08 Jun '22

I'm trying to understand what is meant by "tarpit" in the ffollowing quote of the Dovecot auth policy docs for the "before" check ... First query is done *before* password and user databases are consulted. This means that any userdb/passdb attributes are left empty. The command used here is ‘allow’ and will appear on the URL as command=allow. status result values: - -1: Reject - 0: Accept - (Any other positive value): *Tarpit for this number of seconds.* What actually … [View More]

Extremely long line

Hello everyone, I’m using https://github.com/karastojko/mailio <https://github.com/karastojko/mailio> to get messages from dovecot-2.3.7.2 (3c910f64b) and 1 of the messages which is 2.5 mbytes in size and has an image attached, has a half megabyte of <80> (0x80) characters at the end. And that is with default encoding of 7 bit (meaning there is no part headers at the end), right after the message those characters. I got a feeling that max length was 998 characters. On other hand, … [View More]

Any pointers to get dovecot configured with sieve for Roundcube filters? Things I’ve found through search seem a bit all over the place. I’m using CentOS 8/Rocky Linux hosts. Thanks
