[Dovecot] Sieve autoreply woes on test setup
by Mohit Chawla 22 Sep '10

22 Sep '10

Hi, I have been testing sieve in my setup with qmail-ldap and deliver on a LAN with an artificial domain name. Everything seems to be working as expected, except in cases when autoreplies (vacation, reject messages) need to be tested. The domain name is vmint, and dawnone is the hostname on which mail server is setup, so a users have address like cot@vmint, cute@vmint and dove@vmint * LDA Log* *cot is the user with the sieve vacation filter enabled* 2010-09-22 16:47:55 deliver(cot): Info: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda 2010-09-22 16:47:55 deliver(cot): Info: Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda/lib10_quota_plugin.so 2010-09-22 16:47:55 deliver(cot): Info: Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda/lib90_sieve_plugin.so 2010-09-22 16:47:55 deliver(cot): Info: auth input: uid=1011 2010-09-22 16:47:55 deliver(cot): Info: auth input: gid=1011 2010-09-22 16:47:55 deliver(cot): Info: auth input: home=/home/cot 2010-09-22 16:47:55 deliver(cot): Info: auth input: quota_rule=*:bytes=1000000 2010-09-22 16:47:55 deliver(cot): Info: Quota root: name= backend=maildir args= 2010-09-22 16:47:55 deliver(cot): Info: Quota rule: root= mailbox=* bytes=1000000 messages=0 2010-09-22 16:47:55 deliver(cot): Info: maildir: data=/home/cot/Maildir 2010-09-22 16:47:55 deliver(cot): Info: maildir++: root=/home/cot/Maildir, index=, control=, inbox=/home/cot/Maildir 2010-09-22 16:47:55 deliver(cot): Info: sieve: using sieve path for user's script: /home/cot/.dovecot.sieve 2010-09-22 16:47:55 deliver(cot): Info: sieve: opening script /home/cot/.dovecot.sieve 2010-09-22 16:47:55 deliver(cot): Info: sieve: executing compiled script /home/cot/.dovecot.sieve 2010-09-22 16:47:55 deliver(cot): Info: sieve: msgid=< e93c61e349a52559d3060b6530f6dd69.squirrel(a)192.168.1.137>: sent vacation response to <cute@vmint> 2010-09-22 16:47:55 deliver(cot): Info: Namespace : Using permissions from /home/cot/Maildir: mode=0700 gid=-1 2010-09-22 16:47:55 deliver(cot): Info: sieve: msgid=< e93c61e349a52559d3060b6530f6dd69.squirrel(a)192.168.1.137>: stored mail into mailbox 'INBOX' *failure notice message/bounce sent to the postmaster* Return-Path: <> Received: (qmail 5346 invoked for bounce); 22 Sep 2010 11:17:55 -0000 Date: 22 Sep 2010 11:17:55 -0000 From: MAILER-DAEMON@vmint To: "<>"@dawnone.vmint Subject: failure notice Hi.

So, am not sure what component in the chain is appending a .vmint to the existing domain name. Any input appreciated, thanks.

[Dovecot] Support for spaces in plaintext passwords?
by Simon 22 Sep '10

22 Sep '10

Hi! I have problems with my cellphone. It does not seem to quote the strings to the login command. I can logon using ie SquirrelMail but if i try to login using AndroidMail it just says "autentication failed". If i try maualy i get similar results. Changing password for test to "password-" a login test password- a OK Logged in. Changing password for test to "password " * OK Dovecot ready. a login test password #here i type "password ", but without "" a NO Authentication failed. Uppon examining squirrelmails comunication it sends login "test" "password " I will of cause file a bugreport that Android Mail should use quoted strings when using 'login' autentication as per rfc2060 (which seems to allow it but not demand it). But i wonder if it is possible to work around this issue in Dovecot somehow?

I intend to use Dovecot without SSL. Hence, I built it without SSL support. When I am trying start Dovecot, I am getting the following error message. I have set ssl=no in 10-ssl.conf. Can anyone please let me know if it is possible to build and run Dovecot without SSL support? If it is, how can I overcome the following error message? Thanks a lot.

[Dovecot] expire_tool trouble + howto part sasl from 1.1.7 -> 2.0.1?
by Igor Kowalski 21 Sep '10

21 Sep '10

Hello! Let me smuggle 2 questions in 1 email: 1) I upgraded from 1.1.7 to 2.0.1, but couldn't get it to work, because the 'dovecot + postfix sasl howto' doesn't seem to be updated and the old sasl settings are incompatible with new version. How do I set up sasl with dovecot2 ? Is there any updated howto available? 2) In dovecot 1.1.7: my expire_plugin seems to work fine, new entries are correctly added to the dictionary, but the messages don't actually get expunged. expire_tool says: dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/lib/dovecot/expire-tool --test Info: maildir: data=~/Maildir Info: maildir++: root=/home/virtual/<domain>/<user>/Maildir, index=, control=, inbox=/home/virtual/<domain>/<user>/Maildir Info: <user>@<domain>/Trash: timestamp 1285005106 (Mon Sep 20 18:51:46 2010 ) -> 1290102903 (Mon Sep 20 18:51:46 2010 ) Info: <user2>@<domain>/Trash: stop, expire time in future: Sat Nov 6 18:33:12 2010 Messages are only updated in the dictionary, but nothing is ever expunged.

[Dovecot] MD5 to CRAM-MD5 password conversion?
by David Jonas 21 Sep '10

21 Sep '10

We have a plethora of accounts for which we would like to enable CRAM-MD5 but their passwords are stored as MD5 hashes. Is there anything we can do? Can we take a linux MD5 hashed password (e.g. $1$fac330ee$wd6Tll...) and convert it to dovecot's CRAM-MD5 format (e.g. {CRAM-MD5}b3f297...)? Thanks!

[Dovecot] understand the struct message_header_line
by Alex Baule 21 Sep '10

21 Sep '10

Timo... Using the src/lib-mail/test-istream-header-filter.c as example, and following your tips to jump my desired header value, but i need to store the value from the Header filtered. In the Exemple, the callback is this: static void filter_callback(struct message_header_line *hdr, bool *matched, void *context ATTR_UNUSED) { if (hdr != NULL && hdr->name_offset == 0) { /* drop first header */ *matched = TRUE; } } What i try to understand is how the structs work, it's save the entire header or every line from header call the callback function ? hdr->name_offset is the size of elements in the struct ? (like a array of message_header_line) The void *context ATTR_UNUSED i can pass what i want to change ? like a pointer to a variable ?

[Dovecot] tags disappear in Thunderbird
by Iv Ray 21 Sep '10

21 Sep '10

We have - Dovecot 1.0.15 (the default on Debian Lenny stable) Thunderbird 3.1.4 In our installation the Inbox is a mbox and the other folders are maildir. When we tag messages in Inbox, the tags disappear after a while. In the other folders they stay. I found two possible solutions suggested - 1. Set mbox_lazy_writes=no 2. Convert the Inbox to maildir What would be the best approach in your opinion? Would suggest not following the Debian Lenny stable version (1.0.15), but compiling the current stable Dovecot? Thank you very much, Iv

Hello - I am trying to migrate my dovecot installation from an older server running version 1.x to the latest 2.0.3 When I run configure --with-vpopmail, it bombs pretty quick as follows: ./configure --with-vpopmail checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /bin/mkdir -p checking for gawk... gawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no configure: error: vpopmail support is broken. fix it or access its db another way. however, vpopmail seems to be working fine, i can add domains from vpopmail/bin/vadddomain and they show up in the database just fine. So why do I receive this error and how can i troubleshoot? thank you very much in advance, Joe

[Dovecot] dovecot-2.0.3 - can not upload message, over quota
by LEVAI Daniel 20 Sep '10

20 Sep '10

Hi! I've upgraded to 2.0.3 from 1.2, and it is so far so good. I especially like the new doveadm tool. I have only one tiny problem: Every time I try to upload a message to the server (eg. to a 'Sent' folder, while sending a message), it fails with an error saying I'm over my quota. I'm using mutt, and this is the exact message I get in mutt: [OVERQUOTA] Quota exceeded (mailbox for user is full) Now this is not true, because dovecot-lda can save message to any of my folders, and doveadm says I have no quota (which is true): # doveadm quota get -u <user> Quota name Type Value Limit % User quota STORAGE 1075010 - 0 User quota MESSAGE 26750 - 0 Dovecot logs say nothing about this. Why is that error message then? (I must admit that I didn't try with another mail client.) I've tried to recalc the quota with doveadm but no luck. doveconf -n: # 2.0.3: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: OpenBSD 4.7 i386 default_internal_user = _dovecot default_login_user = _dovenull dict { expire = pgsql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf } info_log_path = /var/log/mail/dovecot.info listen = 127.0.0.1 log_path = /var/log/mail/dovecot.log mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir/ mail_plugins = quota expire passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf driver = sql } plugin { expire = sa.* 1 expire_dict = proxy::expire quota = maildir:User quota quota_rule = *:storage=100M quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+50M } protocols = pop3 imap userdb { driver = prefetch } userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf driver = sql } protocol imap { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins imap_quota } protocol pop3 { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv } protocol lda { deliver_log_format = msgid=%m, from=%f, subject=%s: %$ mail_plugins = $mail_plugins sieve sendmail_path = /usr/local/sbin/sendmail } TIA, Daniel -- LÉVAI Dániel PGP key ID = 0x83B63A8F Key fingerprint = DBEC C66B A47A DFA2 792D 650C C69B BE4C 83B6 3A8F

[Dovecot] v2.0.3 released
by Timo Sirainen 20 Sep '10

20 Sep '10

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/dovecot-2.0.3.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/dovecot-2.0.3.tar.gz.sig * dovecot-lda: Removed use of non-standard Envelope-To: header as a default for -a. Set lda_original_recipient_header=Envelope-To to returns the old behavior. + Added support for reverse quota warnings (i.e. when quota goes back under the limit). This is enabled by adding '-' to beginning of quota_warning value. Based on patch by Jeroen Koekkoek. + dovecot-lda: Added lda_original_recipient_header setting, which is used for getting original recipient if -a isn't used. + dovecot-lda: Added -r parameter to specify final recipient address. (It may differ from original address for e.g. aliases.) + Maildir: uidlist file can now override message's GUID, making it possible for multiple messages in a mailbox to have the same GUID. This also fixes dsync's message conflict resolution. - dovecot-lda: If destination user isn't found, exit with EX_NOUSER, not EX_TEMPFAIL. - dsync: Fixed handling \Noselect mailboxes - Fixed an infinite loop introduced by v2.0.2's message parser changes. - Fixed a crash introduced by v2.0.2's istream-crlf changes.

[Dovecot] replace istream and unref the old one...
by Alex Baule 20 Sep '10

20 Sep '10

I Build a plugin, that do some stuffs with a email. To get the input istream, i use the "get_stream" function, like zlib does. I create a concat_stream, with the full_input[3]; struct istream *full_input[3]; //this like zlib input = imail->data.stream; //first input, using the input full_input[0] = i_stream_create_header_filter(input, HEADER_FILTER_EXCLUDE | HEADER_FILTER_NO_CR, exclude_headers, 1, filter_callback, imail); // second input from another file. full_input[1] = i_stream_create_fd(fd1, 0, TRUE); // finish the input full_input[2] = NULL; // recreating the stream imail->data.stream = i_stream_create_concat(full_input); //unref the old one. i_stream_unref(&input); return index_mail_init_stream(imail, hdr_size, body_size, stream_r); I do like zlib, but i got this errors in LOG. I Think it's because something in the unref, but o don't know what.

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.0.3
by Matthias Quernheim 20 Sep '10

20 Sep '10

I upgraded today to from 1.2.12 to Dovecot 2.0.3 with the dbox format. I just figured out there are still mail in some users directories with the maildir format. These mail are not displayed at all. Nether with roundcube nor with Thunderbird. How could I convert the remaining maildir mails to dbox? Thanks Matthias

[Dovecot] send HUP when rotating log?
by LEVAI Daniel 20 Sep '10

20 Sep '10

Hi! Is it necessary for Dovecot2 to send it a SIGHUP when I rotate its log files? I'm asking because then I must turn off the 'shutdown_clients' option, because then every user gets disconnected while rotating the logs.

[Dovecot] Change in delivery directory during 2.0.2->2.0.3 upgrade
by Jeffrey Rice 19 Sep '10

19 Sep '10

In upgrading from 2.0.2 to 2.0.3, Dovecot deliver has started putting new emails into user@host/.user@host/new instead of user@host/new. This change was reversed by downgrading to 2.0.2, so it's due to the minor version change.

[Dovecot] mbox vs maildir
by Jim Pazarena 18 Sep '10

18 Sep '10

I've had clients 'request' nested folders, and it would seem that maildir is designed with that ability while with mbox it is difficult and.or impossible to implement (nested can be achieved; but not nested AND populated in each nest level). My question is, is one format 'better' than the other? It would take a fair bit of time to convert my system to maildir and I would want to feel comfortable that this would be a true 'upgrade' in abilities, rather than simply a change to accommodate nested folders. Thanks,

[Dovecot] moving 1.2.13 system to another hard drive
by Paul Scott 18 Sep '10

18 Sep '10

Hi, I am not very experienced with Dovecot (1,2,13) installed on Debian sid. I have just set up a new system on a new hard drive on the same computer. fetchmail is correctly putting mail in /var/mail/<username>. I have copied my entire Maildir directory from the old hard drive. I have made what changes I understood to dovecot.conf. Dovecot was working on the other drive even though I'm not completely sure how I got it working before. Any ideas for debugging this certainly simple problem for some of you. TIA, Paul Scott

[Dovecot] Too stupid for sieve (former maildrop user)
by Dieter Knopf 18 Sep '10

18 Sep '10

Hello, I just migrated from Postfix/Courier/Maildrop to Postfix/Dovecot/Deliver/Sieve and don't unterstand the right syntax for sieve :( I searched and found many small examples and many links to the RFC, but nothing was usefull for me (or i didn't unterstand it) I installed the latest Dovecot-Sieve (hg). Examples from my maildrop config: # Filter FROM if($E =~ /name(a)domain1\.tld/) { to "$M/.Friends.Name1/" } # Filter FROM with OR if($E =~ /name1(a)domain1\.tld/ || $E =~ /name2(a)domain2\.tld/) { to "$M/.Friends.Name2/" } # Filter Mailinglists if (/^List-Id: .*<sylpheed\.sraoss\.jp>/) { to "$M/.ML.Sylpheed/" } # Filter FROM AND SUBJECT if($E =~ /fname(a)domain.tld/ && /^Subject: *foooooo/) { to "$M/.foo/" } # Filter TO if (hasaddr("name(a)domain.tld")) { to "$M/.foo/" } # Or something like this: if($E =~ /.*(a)facebookmail\.com/) { if (/^Subject: .*invited you to join the group/) { to "$M/.Facebook.Invites.Groups/" } if (/^Subject: .*invited you to the event/) { to "$M/.Facebook.Invites.Events/" } } $E was a shortcut for (adressmatching): ADDR=getaddr($MATCH) E=`echo $ADDR | sed 's/^M//'` $M was the path to the maildir, like /home/vmail/domain.tld/name Is that possible? Or is maildrop simple more powerful? Thank you :-) Dieter

Does this really work with IMAP clients? A namespace prefix must not start with hierarchy separator. My guess is that the crash happens because of it. I think I'll add code to give an error if it's tried.

[Dovecot] dsync to move from 1.2 to 2.0
by Daniel L. Miller 17 Sep '10

17 Sep '10

I'm not certain of the correct syntax for this - and I'm reluctant to risk my live data by experimenting. I've setup a 2.0.2 server on a virtual machine, and I want to copy a live account over to it for testing. Not that it should matter, but the 1.2 machine is using maildir and I want to give sdbox a try on 2.0.2. I'm assuming (dangerous, I know) I should run dsync on the new 2.0.2 machine, and connect remotely to the 1.2. If it matters, my usernames are complete mail addresses, i.e. myname(a)mydomain.com, and are stored as /var/mail/domain/name/Maildir. Does dsync perform an imap connection to the remote server to pull the mails? Or am I confusing this with imapsync? -- Daniel

[Dovecot] sent-mail
by dhottinger＠harrisonburg.k12.va.us 17 Sep '10

17 Sep '10

Im trying to nail down an issue with some users sent-mail. I have had a few users complaining that their emails are not being copied to their sent-mail folder. Im not sure how widespread it is, mainly because most people dont check their sent-mail. Im running Dovecot version 1.0.7, and yes I know its outdated, but I have had zero problems thus far. Im grepping through my logfiles and dont see any error messages to indicate that there are any issues anywhere on the mailserver. Has anyone else seen any issues with sent-mail not being copied? If checked permissions on the folders and they look correct. thanks, ddh -- Dwayne Hottinger Network Administrator Harrisonburg City Public Schools "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler." -- Albert Einstein "The hottest places in Hell are reserved for those who, in times of moral crisis, preserved their neutrality." -- Dante

[Dovecot] dsync - how to speed up
by Burckhard Schmidt 17 Sep '10

17 Sep '10

Hi, I have converted some mbox mailboxes to maildir. Inbox and folders had been cpopied before into a separate directories "old-home" and old-inbox onto the new server (dovecot 2.0.2. with fix hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.0/rev/14a6e526900d) dsync -v -u user mirror mbox:/old-homehome/~user:INBOX=/old-inbox/user It works but it lasts "very long" time. For one mailbox with 2,4 Gb and nearly 200.000 emails it lasts 100 minutes. I would like to migrate 1.500 Gb - not possible in that way I think. Are there any possibilities making it faster? May be not to generate indices, ..., which could be done later during a first access by the user? Is it possible to run several dsync commands at the same time, of course each one for a different user? (Ressources cpu and I/O system are available.) -- Mit freundlichen Gruessen --- Burckhard Schmidt

[Dovecot] fts plugin - purpose of get_last_uid() ?
by Per Jessen 17 Sep '10

17 Sep '10

It looks like the uid returned is only used as an indication of whether the maildir is fully indexed or not, is that correct? In my setup, the index is built externally and will _always_ be up-to-date. Getting the last uid would mean running a query, which, whilst inexpensive, seems unnecessary if my understanding of the purpose of get_last_uid() is correct. thanks Per Jessen, Zürich

by Henning Rohlfs 17 Sep '10

17 Sep '10

Hello, I recently upgraded to dovecot 2.0.2 (on gentoo ~amd64) and now fts_squat's index building seems to hang for some of my mailboxes. The imap process gets stuck at 100% cpu usage and dovecot.index.search is never touched. I traced the problem to a message (attached) for one of the problematic mailboxes. Also attached are a full backtrace and the output of dovecot -n. The problem is reproducible: step 1) /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap step 2) . select Junk step 3) . search body sometext

[Dovecot] Can solaris sendmail use dovecot lda
by Jürgen Obermann 17 Sep '10

17 Sep '10

Hello, on a Solaris 9 system with dovecot 1.2.14 installed I want to replace the sendmail local delivery agent 'mail.local' with the dovcot LDA. The wiki page http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sendmail did not really help me, because there are only linux specific tipps I am not able to apply to solaris sendmail.cf. So how can I tell solaris sendmail to use dovecots LDA instead of mail.local?

[Dovecot] dsync: mbox to maildir
by Burckhard Schmidt 17 Sep '10

17 Sep '10

Hello, I started converting INBOX and folder from mbox to maildir. The old folders comming from Dovecot 1.0.13 with a mail_location mbox:%h:INBOX=/inbox/%u. The new instalation on a different server is Dovecot 2.0.1, mail-location maildir:~/maildir:INDEX=/addons/index/%u: CONTROL=~/control:LAYOUT=fs No user has logged in before. I have copied tho old Inbox and folders into /mailstore1/import-inbox and /mailstore1/import-home to the new server. my dsync command dsync -v -u account mirror mbox:/mailstore1/import-home/~account:INBOX=/mailstore1/import-inbox/account This works fine. But there are some problems too: 1. autocreate The plugin autocreate = AutoCleanSpam is activated for lda and imap. There is no user with such folder. dsync ceates two: dsync(account): Info: AutoCleanSpam: only in source dsync(account): Info: AutoCleanSpam: only in dest I saw AutoCleanSpam and AutoCleanSpam_73fc7f01efa3804cb4290000b68194d6, both empty. I deletet it with doveadm mailbox delete -u account -s "AutoCleanSpam_73fc7f01efa3804cb4290000b68194d6" Furthermore I have had before autocreate = Sent ( and some more) If the user has such a folder then again two folders are created, "Sent" which is empty and "Sent_any characters" like above. This folder contains the emails of the old folder Sent. 2. missing skip_broken_mailboxes, skip_dotdirs dsync reports errors like Error: Failed to sync mailbox xyz: Mailbox isn't a valid mbox file After a few minutes dsync stops. Or a file like .mlbxlsttmp causes the same error. I remembered my tests with convert-tool (dovecot-V1.2.12) and could use skip_broken_mailboxes skip_dotdirs. That was fine and I'm missing it. I will have to convert several thousands of users. May be I have to clean their folders before? 3. empty folder I have seen some empty folders. These have not been generated by dsync. Some user could missing them? On ballance dsync converts 10 Gb of mbox to maildir successfully. -- Regards - Burckhard Schmidt

[Dovecot] (Single instance) attachment storage
by Timo Sirainen 17 Sep '10

17 Sep '10

Now that v2.0.0 is only waiting for people to report bugs (and me to figure out how to fix them), I've finally had time to start doing what I actually came here (Portugal Telecom/SAPO) to do. :) The idea is to have dbox and mdbox support saving attachments (or MIME parts in general) to separate files, which with some magic gives a possibility to do single instance attachment storage. Comments welcome. Reading attachments ------------------- dbox metadata would contain entries like (this is a wrapped single line entry): X1442 2742784 94/b2/01f34a9def84372a440d7a103a159ac6c9fd752b 2744378 27423 27/c8/a1dccc34d0aaa40e413b449a18810f600b4ae77b So the format is: "X" 1*(<offset> <byte count> <link path>) So when reading a dbox message body, it's read as: offset=0: <first 1442 bytes from dbox body> offset=1442: <next 2742784 bytes from external file> offset=2744226: <next 152 bytes from dbox body> offset=2744378: <next 27423 bytes from external file> offset=2744378 27423: <the rest from dbox body> This is all done internally by creating a single istream that lazily opens the external files only when data is actually tried to be read from that part of the message. The link paths don't have to be in any specific format. In future perhaps it can recognize different formats (even http:// urls and such). Saving attachments separately ----------------------------- Message MIME structure is being parsed while message is saved. After each MIME part's headers are parsed, it's determined if this part should be stored into attachment storage. By default it only checks that the MIME part isn't multipart/* (because then its child parts would contain attachments). Plugins can also override this. For example they could try to determine if the commonly used clients/webmail always downloads and shows the MIME part when opening the mail (text/*, inline images, etc). dbox_attachment_min_size specifies the minimum MIME part size that can be saved as an attachment. Anything smaller than that will be stored normally. While reading a potential attachment MIME part body, it's first buffered into memory until the min. size is reached. After that the attachment file is actually created and buffer flushed to it. Each attachment filename contains a global UID part, so that no two (even identical) attachments will ever contain the same filename. But there can be multiple attachment storages in different mount points, and each one could be configured to do deduplication internally. So identical attachments should somehow be stored to same storage. This is done by taking a hash of the body and using a part of it as the path to the file. For example: mail_location = dbox:~/dbox:ATTACHMENTS=/attachments/$/$ Each $ would be expanded to 8 bits of the hash in hex (00..ff). So the full path to an attachment could look like: /attachments/04/f1/5ddf4d05177b3b4c7a7600008c4a11c1 Sysadmin can then create /attachment/00..ff as symlinks to different storages. Hashing problems ---------------- Some problematic design decisions: 1) Hash is taken from hardcoded first n kB vs. first dbox_attachment_min_size bytes? + With first n kB, dbox_attachment_min_size can be changed without causing duplication of attachments, otherwise after the change the same attachment could get a hash to a different storage than before the change. - If n kB is larger than dbox_attachment_min_size, it uses more memory. - If n kB is determined to be too small to get uniform attachment distribution to different storages, it can't be changed without recompiling. 2) Hash is taken from first n bytes vs. everything? + First n bytes are already read to memory anyway and can be hashed efficiently. The attachment file can be created without wasting extra memory or disk I/O. If everything is hashed, the whole attachment has to be first stored to memory or to a temporary file and from there written to final storage. - With first n bytes it's possible for an attacker to generate lots of different large attachments that begin with the same bytes and then overflow a single storage. If everything is hashed with a secure hash function and a system-specific secret random value is added to the hash, this attack isn't possible. I'm thinking that even though taking a hash of everything is the least efficient option, it's the safest option. It's pretty much guaranteed to give a uniform distribution across all storages, even against intentional attacks. Also the worse performance isn't probably that noticeable, especially assuming a system where local disk isn't used for storing mails, and the temporary files would be created there. Single instance storage ----------------------- All of the above assumes that if you want a single instance storage, you'll need to enable it in your storage. Now, what if you can't do that? I've been planning on making all index/dbox code to use an abstracted out simple filesystem API rather than using POSIX directly. This work can be started by making the attachment reading/writing code use the FS API and then create a single instance storage FS plugin. The plugin would work like: open(ha/sh/hash-guid): The destination storage is in ha/sh/ directory, so a new temp file can be created under it. The hash is part of the filename to make unlink() easier to handle. Since the hash is already known at open() time, look up if hashes/<hash> file exists. If it does, open it. write(): Write to the temp file. If hashes/ file is open, do a byte-by-byte comparison of the inputs. If there's a mismatch, close the hashes/ file and mark it as unusable. finish(): a) If hashes/ file is still open and it's at EOF, link() it to our final destination filename and delete the temp file. If link() fails with ENOENT (it was just expunged), goto b. If link() fails with EMLINK (too many links), goto c. b) If hashes/ file didn't exist, link() the temp file to the hash and rename() it to the destination file. c) If the hashed file existed but wasn't the same, or if link() failed with EMLINK, link() our temp file to a second temp file and rename() it over the hashes/ file and goto a. unlink(): If hashes/<hash> has the same inode as our file and the link count is 2, unlink() the hash file. After that unlink() our file. One alternative to avoid using <hash> as part of the filename would be for unlink() to read the file and recalculate its hash, but that would waste disk I/O. Another possibility would to be to not unlink() the hashes/ files immediately, but rather let some nightly cronjob to stat() through all of the files and unlink() the ones that have link count=1. This could be wastefully inefficient though. Yet another possibility would be for the plugin to internally calculate the hash and write it somewhere. If it's at the beginning of the file, it could be read from there with some extra disk I/O. But is it worth it?.. Extra features -------------- The attachment files begin with an extensible header. This allows a couple of extra features to reduce disk space: 1) The attachment could be compressed (header contains compressed-flag) 2) If base64 attachment is in a standardized form that can be 100% reliably converted back to its original form, it could be stored decoded and then encoded back to original on the fly. It would be nice if it was also possible to compress (and decompress) attachments after they were already stored. This would be possible, but it would require finding all the links to the message and recreating them to point to the new message. (Simply overwriting the file in place would require there are no readers at the same time, and that's not easy to guarantee, except if Dovecot was entirely stopped. I also considered some symlinking schemes but they seemed too complex and they'd also waste inodes and performance.) Code status ----------- Initial version of the attachment reading/writing code is already done and works (lacks some error handling and probably performance optimizations). The SIS plugin code is also started and should be working soon. This code is very isolated and can't cause any destabilization unless it's enabled, so I'm thinking about just adding it to v2.0 as soon as it works, although the config file comments should indicate that it's still considered unstable.

[Dovecot] Dovecot upgrades break Blackberry instant email (BIS)
by interfaSys sàrl 17 Sep '10

17 Sep '10

Hello, Just like when upgrading to 1.2, upgrading to 2.0.1 confuses RIM's BIS servers and users don't have instant email anymore on their Blackberrys. Under normal conditions, the BIS servers keep one open connection per email account with Dovecot. They're using IMAP IDLE to monitor changes and push them to devices very quickly. After an upgrade, all changes. The BIS servers can't maintain an idling connection anymore, they just poll the Dovecot server when they feel like it (every 2-15 minutes). There is one way to fix this on the devices: The users have to re-create the email account. I don't find this very convenient and was wondering if there was something that could be done on the Dovecot side? Last time it happened, I tried clearing the indexes and resetting file permissions, but nothing helped. Cheers, Olivier

[Dovecot] SSL stops working after server upgrade
by "Ing. Daniel Rozsnyó" 17 Sep '10

17 Sep '10

Hello, after an upgrade of the dovecot server, I can not use SSL connections. Can you help me solving the issue? When googling for the error, there is an opinion that the client is broken (in my case Thunderbird, 3.1.3), but I rather see the issue in the server, because I was upgrading my gentoo box by hand, and the secure imap stopped to work after that. Is there a more verbose SSL logging than the default verbose ssl = yes? It's output is attached below. Also, maybe only a configuration detail is missing, since with this version of dovecot, the configuration files were broken into several smaller files, but for my first look they contained the options I had used before. Thanks.

[Dovecot] [DC2.x ]pop3-login seg faults when compiled with gcc 4.5.2 and gold
by interfaSys sàrl 17 Sep '10

17 Sep '10

Hello, On FreeBSD, Dovecot 2.0.1 compiles fine with gcc45 and the other services have no problem, but even without any optimizations (CFLAGS) at all, pop3-login seg faults when a user tries to connect to Dovecot using POP3. As this is not the only application that has a problem with the latest version of gcc (mod_php), there may be nothing that can be done on the Dovecot side, but I thought I would mention it, in case it was due to some bug in the pop3-login code. Cheers, Olivier

[Dovecot] dovecot as exchange server?
by Jacek Osiecki 16 Sep '10

16 Sep '10

Hi, This might be a stupid question, since my knowledge about Exchange is really poor... Since I've got iPhone, I have noticed that IMAP mailbox support is quite crippled in this device - in comparison to Exchange mailboxes... As I assume that it would be easier to convince Bill Gates to install linux than to convince Steve Jobs to change anything in his "perfect phone", I started searching for something that could serve emails similarly to Exchange. Since gmail provides Exchange access, and they definitely don't run a single huge MS Exchange server, I assume that it is somehow possible to implement Exchange protocols - or am I wrong? So, finally - if it is possible to use Exchange protocol, would there be any plans for implementing it in dovecot? Best regards, -- Jacek Osiecki joshua(a)ceti.pl GG:3828944

[Dovecot] dsync mirror duplicates problem
by Waldemar W. 16 Sep '10

16 Sep '10

Im trying to sync 2 mailserver with dsync mirror functionality. Problem occurs when mails arrive in the same folder on both sides then dsync sometimes runs into problems and duplicates that entrys on both side(2mails then with same content). After running again the same happens again(now 4 mails with same content on every side). And then duplicates this mails on both sides on every run :( Anyone with same problem or is something that could cause this? I tried dsync with and without -f option but no change. Im running dovecot 2.0.1 together with dovecot sieve (latest hg version). thanks, Waldemar
