Pigeonhole bug: corrupted redirected emails
by Peter Williams 01 Jul '21

01 Jul '21

Hello, (Please CC me on any replies since I'm not subscribed to this mailing list.) I'm writing to report a bug that I just ran into, involving Sieve/Pigeonhole message redirections. I recently added a rule involving redirections and the redirected messages were getting corrupted. I traced the issue down to the fact that an Mbox-style "From " header line was getting intermixed with the message headers -- note the entry between the two "Received:" headers in this example, which shows the text being delivered to the MTA on stdin: X-Sieve: Pigeonhole Sieve 0.4.24 (124e06aa) X-Sieve-Redirected-From: peter Delivered-To: peter Received: from dovecot by newton.cx with LMTP id xxx for <peter>; Thu, 01 Jul 2021 04:32:50 +0000 From peter(a)newton.cx Thu Jul 01 04:32:50 2021 Received: from xxx by newton.cx with esmtpsa xxx (Exim 4.94.2) (envelope-from <peter(a)newton.cx>) id xxxx for peter(a)newton.cx; Thu, 01 Jul 2021 04:32:50 +0000 Message-ID: <xxx> Subject: qqtestqq This was happening with trivial test messages, and trivial Sieve rules, but I can provide specifics if they would be helpful. Versions: CentOS 7.9.2009; Dovecot 2.2.36; Pigeonhole 0.4.24; Exim 4.92.2. Below I've added the output of `dovecot -n`. My `sendmail_path` setting was empty before, but as a workaround I've set it to a wrapper script that strips out everything before the `From `, "solving" the problem. Thanks so much for building Dovecot, I've been using it with great success for more than a decade!

Dovecot sync broke after upgrade to OpenBSD 6.9
by William Orr 01 Jul '21

01 Jul '21

Hey, I have two mailservers running OpenBSD 6.9, and I use bidirectional syncing of my maildirs through doveadm. After the upgrade, I noticed that the sync process was failing. OpenBSD 6.8 shipped with Dovecot 2.3.13, 6.9 ships with 2.3.14. Here's the output of the dovecot --build-options: kefka|~|03:01:50|89$ dovecot --build-options Build options: ioloop=kqueue notify=kqueue openssl io_block_size=8192 SQL driver plugins: mysql postgresql sqlite Passdb: bsdauth checkpassword ldap passwd passwd-file sql Userdb: checkpassword ldap(plugin) passwd prefetch passwd-file sql I did not compile this manually, this is from packages. More info about configure options passed are available here, in the Makefile from ports https://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ports/mail/dovecot/Makefile?rev=1… Here's a sample run of the sync: kefka|~|02:57:05|0$ doas doveadm sync -u worr(a)worrbase.com remote:sabin.worrbase.com doveadm(VERSION dsync 3 5): Error: User doesn't exist dsync-local(worr)<FNQIMvI9omB4VwEADTvxNg>: Error: read(sabin.worrbase.com) failed: EOF (version not received) dsync-local(worr)<FNQIMvI9omB4VwEADTvxNg>: Error: Remote command returned error 67: /usr/bin/ssh -i /root/.ssh/id_ed25519.dsync sabin.worrbase.com /usr/local/bin/dsync-in-wrapper.sh kefka|~|02:57:08|75$ cat /usr/local/bin/dsync-in-wrapper.sh #!/bin/ksh read username /usr/local/bin/doveadm dsync-server -u "$username" I ktraced the process, and noticed that in the communication with the remote mail server, that a bunch of doveadm plugins fail to load. It's worth noting that these are plugins that are dlopen(3)ed in response to certain commands sent over the wire, so they don't show up in ldd(1) output. kefka|~|03:00:08|0$ doas kdump | grep symbol

Pigeonhole - Auto create default per user script
by dovecot＠ptld.com 01 Jul '21

01 Jul '21

Is there a way to have a per-user default sieve script get auto created if it doesn't exist? Or created on first time use like when the directory set by plugin{sieve=file:~/} gets created? Not global scripts.

Pigeonhole sieve_user_log
by dovecot＠ptld.com 01 Jul '21

01 Jul '21

https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/sieve/configuration/ Pigeonhole creates logs separate from main dovecot logs. I see sieve_user_log allows you to change log location and it says if you don't set it logs are still made by default. I can not find anything about log rotation of these pigeonhole logs or if there is a way to disable this logging. Do i need to worry about this log growing out of control? Is there a way to disable it? Does it prune/purge itself? Any practical reason to keep these logs?

Feature/patch request
by Bucher, Dr. Damian 30 Jun '21

30 Jun '21

Hi, we ran into a problem, while using filesystem snapshots on a GPFS-filesystem. With this we want to give the users the opportunity to restore Mailboxes from this snapshots in case they deleted mail by accident. For each snapshot we create a namespace via a postlogin skript (with INDEX=MEMORY to avoid writing index files to a ro filesystem). The snapshot are of course read only. When accessing the mailboxes in the namespaces, dovecot generates an error (ro filesystem): Error: Mailbox #backup20/Mail/deleted-messages: open() failed with mbox: Read-only file system We tracked that down to a problem in src/lib-storage/index/mbox/mbox-file.c (yes, we are still using mbox ;) ) fd = open(mailbox_get_path(&mbox->box), mbox_is_backend_readonly(mbox) ? O_RDONLY : O_RDWR); if (fd == -1 && errno == EACCES && !mbox->backend_readonly) { mbox->backend_readonly = TRUE; fd = open(mailbox_get_path(&mbox->box), O_RDONLY); } Here the mailbox is opened and it is checked wether the file is ro or rw. Since the snapshot contains the original file permissions, the file is of course rw, but the filesystem is ro. Unfortunately the code only checks for file permissions (errno == EACCES), which doesn’t catch our error condition (FS ro). We think that exchanging this to (errno == EACCESS || errno == EROFS) would catch the file system ro error correctly and set the readonly flag correctly and open the mailbox ro. (this probably hast to be done for other mailbox formats in the corresponding files too) What do you think? Is there a chance to implement that in an upcoming release?

oauth2
by Andrea Gabellini 30 Jun '21

30 Jun '21

Hello, Dovecot 2.3.15 installed from repository on CentOS 7.9 I would like to try the oauth2 mechanism to autenticate my users. I have installed a working demo of KeyCloak and I have a working installation of Dovecot 2.3.15 with LDAP backend and plain authentication. My Thunderbird client always says "that the server doesn't manage the authentication method", but with a "openssl s_client -connect" command I get: * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE LITERAL+ AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=OAUTHBEARER AUTH=XOAUTH2] IMAP ready. Putting Dovecot in debug I can't see any error or warning on oauth2 authentication. I'm following the offical guide: auth_mechanisms = plain oauthbearer xoauth2 passdb { driver = oauth2 mechanisms = xoauth2 oauthbearer args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-oauth2.conf.ext } /etc/dovecot/dovecot-oauth2.conf.ext: tokeninfo_url = https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/tokeninfo?access_token= introspection_url = https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v2/userinfo #force_introspection = yes username_attribute = email tls_ca_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt I'm using an explicit wrong configuration to thrown some errors and verify that Dovecot is really using the OAUTH2 mechanism, but I don't get any errors... What I'm doing wrong? Thanks, Andrea -- __________________________ Okay, okay, I'll take it back ... UNfuck you ! __________________________ TIM San Marino S.p.A.

Hi, after the upgrade to dovecot 2.3.15 the Panic: indexer-worker error is still present. I don't know if is related to searching in a Virtual folder (look for my previous email on list with subject "Panic on indexer-worker and Dovecot stop to search on Solr" for more details). Here the relevant configuration of FTS plugin: plugin { fts = solr fts_autoindex = no fts_autoindex_exclude = \Junk fts_autoindex_exclude2 = \Drafts fts_decoder = decode2text fts_enforced = body fts_index_timeout = 5s fts_solr = url=http://10.0.0.32:8983/solr/dovecot/ [...] I'm running Dovecot with FTS Solr 7.7, here the log error and the bt full: Jun 29 13:06:26 Panic: indexer-worker(user1(a)company.net) session=<SLTLmOXFFIy5Ydlu:6BC4HLH+2mBHQwAAxbYlJw>: file http-clien t-request.c: line 1240 (http_client_request_send_more): assertion failed: (req->payload_input != NULL) Jun 29 13:06:26 Error: indexer-worker(user1(a)company.net) session=<SLTLmOXFFIy5Ydlu:6BC4HLH+2mBHQwAAxbYlJw>: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(backtrace_append+0x42) [0x7f7212b36862] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(backtrace_get+0x1e) [0x7f7212b3696e] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0xf50fe) [0x7f7212b440fe] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0xf51a1) [ 0x7f7212b441a1] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_fatal+0) [0x7f7212a9460c] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(http_client_ request_send_more+0x3dd) [0x7f7212add54d] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(http_client_connection_output+0xf1) [0x7f7212ae1ca1] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x11e870) [0x7f7212b6d870] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_call_io+0x65) [0x7f 7212b5c425] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run_internal+0x12b) [0x7f7212b5ddab] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdove cot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0x59) [0x7f7212b5c529] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x38) [0x7f7212b5c768] -> /usr /lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(http_client_wait+0xcd) [0x7f7212aeadbd] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/lib21_fts_solr_plugin.so(solr_connectio n_select+0xe5) [0x7f7210a79265] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/lib21_fts_solr_plugin.so(+0x4684) [0x7f7210a75684] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/lib20 _fts_plugin.so(fts_backend_get_last_uid+0x6e) [0x7f7211e1944e] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/lib20_fts_plugin.so(+0xf9d2) [0x7f7211e1f9d2] - > /usr/lib64/dovecot/lib20_fts_plugin.so(+0x10f56) [0x7f7211e20f56] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/lib20_virtual_plugin.so(+0x94da) [0x7f7211 a014da] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/lib20_fts_plugin.so(+0x10ba6) [0x7f7211e20ba6] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_prec ache+0x2e) [0x7f7212e48fae] -> dovecot/indexer-worker [user1(a)company.net Virtual/All](+0x2bb1) [0x55559e522bb1] -> /usr/lib 64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_call_io+0x65) [0x7f7212b5c425] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run_internal +0x12b) [0x7f7212b5ddab] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0x59) [0x7f7212b5c529] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libd ovecot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x38) [0x7f7212b5c768] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(master_service_run+0x13) [0x7f7212ac63c3] -> do vecot/indexer-worker [user1(a)company.net Virtual/All](main+0xd7) [0x55559e522437] -> /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf5 ) [0x7f72126a3555] -> dovecot/indexer-worker [user1(a)company.net Virtual/All](+0x24fa) [0x55559e5224fa] Jun 29 13:06:26 Fatal: indexer-worker(user1(a)company.net) session=<SLTLmOXFFIy5Ydlu:6BC4HLH+2mBHQwAAxbYlJw>: master: service(indexer-worker): child 17223 killed with signal 6 (core dumped) # gdb /usr/libexec/dovecot/indexer-worker /var/core/core.indexer-worker.17223 GNU gdb (GDB) Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.6.1-120.el7 Copyright (C) 2013 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Dovecot 2.3.15 compilation fails
by Andreas M. Kirchwitz 29 Jun '21

29 Jun '21

Hello Dovecot users and developers! Up to Dovecot 2.3.14.1 manual compilation of Dovecot sources was fine, I have an old 32-bit Linux server with GCC 4.4.7 where I compile almost all things manually. Works fine, never had problems with GCC versions. env LDFLAGS="-Wl,--no-as-needed" ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/dovecot --with-ssl=openssl --with-ssldir=/usr/local/dovecot/etc/dovecot/certs make Unfortunately, Dovecot 2.3.15 fails to compile at test-smtp-params.c (works with a recent GCC 11.1.1 on my desktop, but servers usually come with older stuff). I know a little bit of programming but that's above my head what goes wrong here and how I could fix it to continue (so I don't know if that's the only problem or if there will be more). See below (at the end) for the exact error message. I assume this compilation issue was not an intentional change/requirement between 2.3.14(.1) and 2.3.15, it just happened. I don't think that the problem is in "test-smtp-params.c" itself but some declarations somewhere else are missing, but I'm no expert here. There were too many changes in the src/lib-smtp source tree to understand what may have caused this (or maybe it's even somewhere else). Any help is highly appreciated. I'd be happy to help and try out any ideas or patches. I'd like to see that Dovecot can be compiled on as many platforms as possible, as long as there are no fundamental requirements making this impossible.

acl_ignore_namespace & dovecot-acl-list files
by Vincent Brillault 29 Jun '21

29 Jun '21

Hi! After updating to 2.3.15, I was hoping to be able to get rid of some of the work-around I had in place when configuring shared folders in cluster mode in 2.3.14. Unfortunately it seems that I still need one. Running on CentOS7 with both a 'virtual' and 'shared' namespace, whenever I update the global vfile, I'm getting the following warning: ``` Error: open(/etc/dovecot/virtual/.temp.....8536.f1a78823779ee98d) failed: Read-only file system Error: dovecot-acl-list creation failed: safe_mkstemp(/etc/dovecot/virtual/.temp.....8536.) failed: Read-only file system Error: unlink(/etc/dovecot/virtual/dovecot-acl-list) failed: Read-only file system (in acl-backend-vfile-acllist.c:339) ``` I found it weird, as I'm using acl_ignore_namespace to ignore the virtual filesystem, but still dovecot seems to be trying to create a dovecot-acl-list file there. After digging into it and generating a backtrace where that error message is triggered, I believe I've trace it down to `acl_lookup_dict_rebuild`, which doesn't filter out "ignored" namespaces. The attached patch seems to solve the problem for me, but I must admit I didn't test it in depth so I'm not sure if I'm breaking something else... Let me know if I'm missing something, Thanks, Vincent PS: Some details: - Relevant configuration (let me know if I'm missing something): ``` mail_plugins = acl zlib virtual fts fts_solr namespace Virtual { prefix = Virtual/ separator = / hidden = yes list = no subscriptions = no location = virtual:/etc/dovecot/virtual:INDEX=~/virtual } namespace shared { type = shared prefix = shared/%%u/ list = children subscriptions = no location = imapc:~/shared/%%u } plugin { # ACLs acl = vfile:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-acl acl_ignore_namespace = Virtual/ acl_ignore_namespace2 = shared/* acl_shared_dict = proxy::acl } ``` - Backtrace generated manually (adding `backtrace_get(&backtrace)` & printing the result under the `dovecot-acl-list creation failed` error): ``` Raw backtrace: /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(backtrace_append+0x42) [0x7ff99d364862] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(backtrace_get+0x1e) [0x7ff99d36496e] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/lib01_acl_plugin.so(+0xb071) [0x7ff99ca9f071] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/lib01_acl_plugin.so(acl_backend_vfile_acllist_rebuild+0x1d) [0x7ff99ca9f3ed] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/lib01_acl_plugin.so(acl_backend_vfile_acllist_refresh+0x250) [0x7ff99ca9f6b0] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/lib01_acl_plugin.so(acl_backend_vfile_nonowner_iter_init+0x9) [0x7ff99ca9f849] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/lib01_acl_plugin.so(acl_lookup_dict_rebuild+0x13e) [0x7ff99caa179e] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/lib01_acl_plugin.so(+0xb245) [0x7ff99ca9f245] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/lib01_acl_plugin.so(acl_backend_vfile_acllist_rebuild+0x1d) [0x7ff99ca9f3ed] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/lib01_acl_plugin.so(+0xa9ad) [0x7ff99ca9e9ad] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/lib01_acl_plugin.so(+0x6e4c) [0x7ff99ca9ae4c] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/lib01_acl_plugin.so(acl_object_get_my_rights+0x75) [0x7ff99ca9af35] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/lib01_acl_plugin.so(+0xe44e) [0x7ff99caa244e] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mailbox_exists+0x6e) [0x7ff99d6845fe] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mailbox_list_mailbox+0x226) [0x7ff99d694ff6] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mailbox_list_iter_init_namespaces+0x282) [0x7ff99d6eecf2] -> dovecot/imap [vbrillau XXXXX LIST](cmd_list_full+0x55b) [0x563f9bb004bb] -> dovecot/imap [vbrillau XXXXX LIST](command_exec+0x64) [0x563f9bb0ab04] -> dovecot/imap [vbrillau XXXXX LIST](+0x1d9e2) [0x563f9bb089e2] -> dovecot/imap [vbrillau XXXXX LIST](+0x1da71) [0x563f9bb08a71] -> dovecot/imap [vbrillau XXXXX LIST](client_handle_input+0x205) [0x563f9bb08ef5] -> dovecot/imap [vbrillau XXXXX LIST](client_input+0x79) [0x563f9bb094d9] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_call_io+0x65) [0x7ff99d38a425] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run_internal+0x12b) [0x7ff99d38bdab] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0x59) [0x7ff99d38a529] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x38) [0x7ff99d38a768] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(master_service_run+0x13) [0x7ff99d2f43c3] -> dovecot/imap [vbrillau XXXXX LIST](main+0x342) [0x563f9bafa2f2] -> /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf5) [0x7ff99ced1555] -> dovecot/imap [vbrillau XXXXX LIST](+0xf4f5) [0x563f9bafa4f5] ```

Increase FTS timeouts for slow(er) machines
by Bojan Čekrlić 29 Jun '21

29 Jun '21

Hello list, I have a question which doesn’t seem to be answered by the documentation. I’m running Dovecot on a Raspberry PI-like computer. I’ve enabled full-text search (FTS) and installed Solr and Tika. Now, Dovecot will timeout Tika after 60 seconds and some emails will not get indexed as there’s simply not enough processing power on the device to work so fast. I don’t mind the slowness, so the question here is — how do I increase this timeout? Looking at the commits it seems that this option is hardcoded in the code and cannot be increased via configuration change? Thanks, B

Dovecot mailing list and DKIM
by Kevin N. 28 Jun '21

28 Jun '21

Hello everybody, Going through my mail logs I noticed that a couple of messages from the Dovecot mailing list failed DKIM validation. For example, this one has failed: https://markmail.org/message/te7tycmpiutw4kia 'opendkim-testkey' shows that the key is OK. The messages in the example comes from yahoo.com, however other messages from yahoo.com, ones that are not sent through the mailing list, are properly validated. The failure is not specific to yahoo.com since a couple of other messages from other domains, sent though the mailing list, also failed DKIM validation. However, the vast majority of the messages from the list properly pass DKIM validation. From what I have read, mailing lists in general do not play very well with DKIM or SPF and the Dovecot mailing list also had some issues with this in the past. With the Dovecot mailing list, I am a bit curious about why the vast majority of the messages from the list pass DKIM validation while a couple of them fail. Does the Dovecot mailing list software alter the message in a way that causes the failure? Or is there something else going on? Any thoughts? Cheers.

ZLIB/ZSTD Compressed MBOX in Maildir++ layout
by Pedro Ribeiro 28 Jun '21

28 Jun '21

Hello everyone! Our archive namespace is kept in MBOX format with Maildir++ layout due to: * Need to have the email from all users/folders self contained (our base namespace uses MDBOX with single instance storage of attachments) * MBOX/FS layout isn't supported because some folders have messages and subfolders. I'm trying to compress that namespace using zstd/gzip following the informations from Dovecot documentation about the zlib plugin but when the (MBOX/Maildir++) compress and become with .zst/.zstd/.gz suffix (both tested) the system can't read the mailboxes and incorrectly reports the suffix (.zstd/.gz) as a subfolder name (following the Maildir++ file structure). Is there any way to make the MBOX/Maildir++ compatible with the zlib compression? Using Dovecot 2.3.14 on Debian10 Regards. -- Best regards, =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Pedro Ribeiro Politécnico de Lisboa, Serviços da Presidência Departamento de Sistemas de Informação e Comunicações Phone: +351 210 464 700 (general) / VoIP: 80100 Helpdesk: helpdesk(a)net.ipl.pt / https://www.net.ipl.pt =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

[BUG] doveadm / mail-crypt: Error when setting new password for a user key
by Kevin N. 28 Jun '21

28 Jun '21

Dovecot version: 2.3.14 When setting a new password for a user key you have the option to prompt the user for the old and the new password, instead of providing them as parameters (using -N and -O instead of -n and -o). However, running: doveadm mailbox cryptokey password -u user@domain -N -O produces an error instead of prompting the user for the old and the new password. The error is: password: option requires an argument -- 'O' You can work around this by providing a dummy input for -O which seems to be properly ignored in the end, but it would be nice to not throw any errors since -O should not expect an argument. Regards.

Support client_id variable expansion
by Eirik Rye 28 Jun '21

28 Jun '21

Hello, We are using imap_id_log='*' (and imap_id_retain=yes) to log user client information to the dovecot logs, and this information is aggregated to give us extra debugging information for customer support. However, as some clients send the ID information pre-login and others send it post-login, the aggregation logic is needlessly complex as we need to correlate the session IDs of the pre-login ID messages in order to determine the correct user. Hoping to simplify this, I wanted to log the client_id variable on logout, in imap_logout_format: imap_logout_format = in=%i out=%o deleted=%{deleted} expunged=%{expunged} trashed=%{trashed} hdr_count=%{fetch_hdr_count} hdr_bytes=%{fetch_hdr_bytes} body_count=%{fetch_body_count} body_bytes=%{fetch_body_bytes} client_id="%{client_id}" However, this only results in the following log being printed: client_id="UNSUPPORTED_VARIABLE_client_id" While examining the source code (login-common/client-common.c), it seems like this could be trivially supported by adding `client_id` to the `login_var_expand_empty_tab` struct, and adding the relevant code to populate this variable to `get_var_expand_table(struct client *client)`. I am willing to write a pull request for this, unless I am missing some obvious reason why expansion of the client's `client_id` field is not supported in the first place? - Eirik

Backing up per user keys for mailcrypt
by Ben Burk 28 Jun '21

28 Jun '21

I am wondering how I can back up keys for mail users in their password-protected form, without exporting them from `doveadm mailbox cryptokey export`, which requires a password. The goal here is to perform routine backups to keep keys current. Relevant config is as follows: mail_attribute_dict = file:%h/Maildir/dovecot-attributes mail_plugins = $mail_plugins mail_crypt plugin { mail_crypt_curve = secp521r1 mail_crypt_save_version = 2 mail_crypt_require_encrypted_user_key = yes } Am i correct in assuming I should back up the dovecot-attributes file? Are there any ancillary files that need to be backed up as well, such as indexes, to properly read and handle this file? I have viewed the file and it appears there are several keys at play for a single mail user. Do different folders in a users imap space have different encryption keys? Are all of these keys populated in this dovecot-attributes file? Is there any established procedure for restoring keys? Is it as simple as placing the dovecot-attributes file, if that is infact what needs to be backed up beforehand to perform a restore. -- Ben Burk BURK.TECH System Administrator

Quota Config With Prefetch Creating Alias Directories
by dovecot＠ptld.com 27 Jun '21

27 Jun '21

Using Dovecot 2.3.8 with Postfix & MySQL on Centos. I have a sql table with account info, email addresses, password, quotas, etc I have another sql table for aliases containing which alias points to what email address. For imap access im using passdb password_query with prefetch. I setup quotas using count and configured postfix to check quotas with check_policy_service before accepting email. Discovered that it wont lookup quotas using prefetch. Added a second userdb so quota request can use user_query instead of the imap password_query prefetch version. userdb { driver = sql args = /etc/dovecot/mysql_quota.include skip = found result_success = return-ok result_failure = return-ok } This worked for existing email addresses in the accounts table. But any email sent to an alias was rejected because user not found. Not by postfix, postfix can see its an alias, but when postfix does check_policy_service dovecot issued the rejection because its not finding the alias in the accounts table per the userdb user_query. I added "result_failure = return-ok" to the userdb so if user_query doesn't find the address postfix is asking to accept mail for, it will fall back on quota default values. Then dovecot isn't forcing the mail to be rejected and postfix knows if its a valid user or alias. This seems to solve the issue, dovecot will return per user quotas or if not found then the global quota and let postfix decided whats a valid address to accept or reject. But now there is a side effect. Every time you ask dovecot for a quota, and if its a first time use of a newly created account dovecot creates the index directories and index files on disk. Because im using result_failure=return-ok which tells dovecot the user was found to prevent aliases from being rejected, dovecot is also creating directories and indexes for those aliases postfix is sending over check_policy_service. First question: Is this the best way to configure dovecot using quota verification for postfix to work will aliases? Second question: How can i prevent directories and indexes being created for non found user (aliases) accounts? Thank you.

Before, we would allow hardcoded value between 1 to 9 and would default to 6. Now we allow using per-algorithm value range and default to whatever default the algorithm specifies. - *-login: Commands pipelined together with and just after the authenticate command cause these commands to be executed twice. This applies to all protocols that involve user login, which currently comprises of imap, pop3, submisision and managesieve. - *-login: Processes are supposed to disconnect the oldest non-logged in connection when process_limit was reached. This didn't actually happen with the default "high-security mode" (with service_count=1) where each connection is handled by a separate process. - *-login: When login process reaches client/process limits, oldest client connections are disconnected. If one of these was still doing anvil lookup, this caused a crash. This could happen only if the login process limits were very low or if the server was overloaded. - Fixed building with link time optimizations (-flto). - auth: Userdb iteration with passwd driver does not always return all users with some nss drivers. - dsync: Shared INBOX not synced when "mail_shared_explicit_inbox" was disabled. If a user has a shared mailbox which is another user's INBOX, dsync didn't include the mailbox in syncing unless explicit naming is enabled with "mail_shared_explicit_inbox" set to "yes". - dsync: Shared namespaces were not synced with "-n" flag. - dsync: Syncing shared INBOX failed if mail_attribute_dict was not set. If a user has a shared mailbox that is another user's INBOX, dsync failed to export the mailbox if mail attributes are disabled. - fts-solr, fts-tika: Using both Solr FTS and Tika may have caused HTTP requests to assert-crash: Panic: file http-client-request.c: line 1232 (http_client_request_send_more): assertion failed: (req->payload_input != NULL) - fts-tika: 5xx errors returned by Tika server as indexing failures. However, Tika can return 5xx for some attachments every time. So the 5xx error should be retried once, but treated as success if it happens on the retry as well. v2.3 regression. - fts-tika: v2.3.11 regression: Indexing messages with fts-tika may have resulted in Panic: file message-parser.c: line 802 (message_parser_deinit_from_parts): assertion failed: (ctx->nested_parts_count == 0 || i_stream_have_bytes_left(ctx->input)) - imap: SETMETADATA could not be used to unset metadata values.

Because of this, the next pop3 session could have accessed all of the emails' metadata to read their POP3 UIDL (opening dbox files). - listescape: When using the listescape plugin and a shared namespace the plugin didn't work properly anymore resulting in errors like: "Invalid mailbox name: Name must not have '/' character." - lmtp: Connection crashes if connection gets disconnected due to multiple bad commands and the last bad command is BDAT. - lmtp: The Dovecot-specific LMTP parameter XRCPTFORWARD was blindly forwarded by LMTP proxy without checking that the backend has support. This caused a command parameter error from the backend if it was running an older Dovecot release. This could only occur in more complex setups where the message was proxied twice; when the proxy generated the XRCPTFORWARD parameter itself the problem did not occur, so this only happened when it was forwarded. - lmtp: The LMTP proxy crashes with a panic when the remote server replies with an error while the mail is still being forwarded through a DATA/BDAT command. - lmtp: Username may have been missing from lmtp log line prefixes when it was performing autoexpunging. - master: Dovecot would incorrectly fail with haproxy 2.0.14 service checks. - master: Systemd service: Dovecot announces readiness for accepting connections earlier than it should. The following environment variables are now imported automatically and can be omitted from import_environment setting: NOTIFY_SOCKET LISTEN_FDS LISTEN_PID. - master: service { process_min_avail } was launching processes too slowly when master was forking a lot of processes. - util: Make the health-check.sh example script POSIX shell compatible.

Quota warning script is never sent when reverse=yes
by Jesús Ángel del Pozo Domínguez 23 Jun '21

23 Jun '21

Hi there, I set up Dovecot to call a quota warning script: plugin { quota_warning = storage=100%% quota-warning 100 %u quota_warning2 = storage=95%% quota-warning 95 %u quota_warning3 = storage=80%% quota-warning 80 %u quota_warning4 = -storage=100%% quota-warning below %u } The script is called whenever the quota exceeds the corresponding amount (80%, 95% and 100%). However, on deleting messages to free space, the script is not being called even though the quota drops below 100%. I have manually tested the script, and it works: $ /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh below user(a)foo.bar Could you please give me any hint to fix this. I would like to call the quota-warning script so that I can clear the over_quota_flag field in the database. Regards,

Sometimes happens that deliver or imap process hangs and causing high CPU usage. In log's I only see locking failures but not initial cause why this happened. For mail storage I use ZFS pool with compression enabled. I made some digging and find this option: mmap_disable = yes. I will try this setting today evening. But I wondering if you have any idea why this happening and how to start solving this problems? Is there any additional setting like mmap_disable that can help solved this issues? -- BR

Upgrade path
by Andrea Gabellini 22 Jun '21

22 Jun '21

Hello, I have a configuration with two proxy/director and two backend with replication. All at version 2.3.10.1. What is the suggested upgrade path to 2.3.15? I think to switch traffic to only one proxy and one backend and upgrade the two servers that remain without traffic. Then I switch the traffic to these upgraded servers and proceed with the upgrade of the others two. Is this correct? Or is best to upgrade first the two proxy/director and next the two backend?

Pigeonhole v0.5.15 released
by Timo Sirainen 21 Jun '21

21 Jun '21

Hi, Pigeonhole release for Dovecot v2.3.15. One thing we noticed a bit before release is that if you're using imap_sieve_filter plugin, the IMAP FILTER command may trigger the new excessive resource usage check since it can be processing many messages rapidly. You may want to prevent this with protocol imap { sieve_max_cpu_time=0 } https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3-pigeonhole-0.5.15.t… <https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3-pigeonhole-0.5.15.t…> https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3-pigeonhole-0.5.15.t… <https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3-pigeonhole-0.5.15.t…> Binary packages in https://repo.dovecot.org/ <https://repo.dovecot.org/> Docker images in https://hub.docker.com/r/dovecot/dovecot <https://hub.docker.com/r/dovecot/dovecot> * CVE-2020-28200: Sieve interpreter is not protected against abusive scripts that claim excessive resource usage. Fixed by limiting the user CPU time per single script execution and cumulatively over several script runs within a configurable timeout period. Sufficiently large CPU time usage is summed in the Sieve script binary and execution is blocked when the sum exceeds the limit within that time. The block is lifted when the script is updated after the resource usage times out. * Disconnection log messages are now more standardized across services. They also always now start with "Disconnected" prefix. - managesieve: Commands pipelined together with and just after the authenticate command cause these commands to be executed twice.

error: "The certificate is empty"
by A. Schulze 18 Jun '21

18 Jun '21

Hello, on a farm of multiple identical dovecot servers I start seeing this error on usual POP3S access on one of many servers: pop3-login: Error: Failed to initialize SSL server context: Can't load SSL certificate (ssl_cert setting): The certificate is empty: I'm running 2.3.14 compiled against openssl-1.1.1k on Debian Buster Looks like it's this code: https://github.com/dovecot/core/blob/a5209c83c3a82386c94d466eec5fea394973e8… called from here: https://github.com/dovecot/core/blob/a5209c83c3a82386c94d466eec5fea394973e8… To me it /looks/ like a resource problem. The farm handle a million pop3 sessions per hour while only 50k (5%) are using TLS. The farm is up and running since ~2 weeks. When started, the automatic deployment *did* check that pop3s was working well. Also today on all farmservers the certificate file is valid, contain expected content. the server is currently offline but not restarted to allow further investigation. the setup is quite normal just checked over all Farmservers: - doveconf | grep ssl | sha256sum - sha256sum $( doveconf | grep 'ssl_cert = <' | awk -F\< '{ print $2 }' ) the output is identical. Any idea is appreciated ... Andreas

Maildir to Mdbox and folder structure after the conversion
by Marco Usai 18 Jun '21

18 Jun '21

Using the dsync command I've converted a Dovecot mail folder from Maildir to Mdbox format. (see https://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2021-June/122304.html) The folder resulting from the conversion (see https://pastebin.com/6U4CDTQi ), however, has a completely different directory structure from the one used by the destination server where it will be transferred (see https://pastebin.com/nMEvqmqp ) What do I have to do to make the folder obtained after the conversion have a directory structure identical to the one used by the destination server ? Thank You.

Empty response with userFile from doveadm HTTP API
by lab＠403.sk 18 Jun '21

18 Jun '21

Hi, I must be doing something terribly wrong, but I am not able to get a non empty response from doveadm HTTP API when using userFile parameter. E. g. in getQuota or search command. Single user or wildcard working as expected. ./doveadm_cli.py --apikey $key --apiurl http://localhost:8180/doveadm/v1 (doveadm) quotaGet userFile=/tmp/f [] Results: 0 cat /tmp/f box1(a)domain.tld box2(a)domain.tld Result with plain cURL is exactly the same. curl -X POST http://localhost:8180/doveadm/v1 -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: X-Dovecot-API xxx" -d '[["quotaGet",{"userFile":"/tmp/f"},"tag1"]]' [["doveadmResponse",[],"tag1"]] Doveadm binary has no problem of reading that file.

Question Regarding The 'poolp' Guide On How To Deploy A Mail Server's Last Portion Regarding Dovecot With 'sieve' Scripts
by Samuel Banya 18 Jun '21

18 Jun '21

Hello everyone, I've been following the "poolp" guide on how to deploy an email server on OpenBSD: - https://poolp.org/posts/2019-09-14/setting-up-a-mail-server-with-opensmtpd-… I'm currently at the very end of the guide in which he is using sieve with Dovecot to do some final filtering. The unfortunate thing is that when I run these two commands in the '/usr/local/lib/dovecot/sieve' directory: sievec report-ham.sieve sievec report-spam.sieve I'm getting the following error: # sievec report-ham.sieve report-ham: line 1: error: require command: unknown Sieve capability `vnd.dovecot.pipe'. report-ham: line 1: error: require command: unknown Sieve capability `imapsieve'. report-ham: line 15: error: unknown command 'pipe' (only reported once at first occurrence). report-ham: error: validation failed. sievec(root): Fatal: failed to compile sieve script 'report-ham.sieve' # sievec report-spam.sieve report-spam: line 1: error: require command: unknown Sieve capability `vnd.dovecot.pipe'. report-spam: line 1: error: require command: unknown Sieve capability `imapsieve'. report-spam: line 7: error: unknown command 'pipe' (only reported once at first occurrence). report-spam: error: validation failed. sievec(root): Fatal: failed to compile sieve script 'report-spam.sieve' What's interesting is that this same post has the same exact error, and I tried his workaround which did NOT work unfortunately: - http://dovecot.2317879.n4.nabble.com/sieve-compile-error-td70414.html This is what was present BEFORE my changes in ' plugin { sieve_plugins = sieve_imapsieve sieve_extprograms sieve_global_extensions = +vnd.dovecot.pipe +vnd.dovecot.environment imapsieve_mailbox1_name = Junk imapsieve_mailbox1_causes = COPY APPEND imapsieve_mailbox1_before = file:/usr/local/lib/dovecot/sieve/report-spam.sieve imapsieve_mailbox2_name = * imapsieve_mailbox2_from = Junk imapsieve_mailbox2_causes = COPY imapsieve_mailbox2_before = file:/usr/local/lib/dovecot/sieve/report-ham.sieve imapsieve_mailbox3_name = Inbox imapsieve_mailbox3_causes = APPEND imapsieve_mailbox3_before = file:/usr/local/lib/dovecot/sieve/report-ham.sieve sieve_pipe_bin_dir = /usr/local/lib/dovecot/sieve } This is what was present AFTER my changes in '/etc/dovecot/conf.d/90-plugin.conf' (aka I followed this post's workaround http://dovecot.2317879.n4.nabble.com/sieve-compile-error-td70414.html) plugin { sieve_plugins = sieve_imapsieve sieve_extprograms sieve_global_extensions = +vnd.dovecot.environment +vnd.dovecot.debug +vnd.dovecot.pipe imapsieve_mailbox1_name = Junk imapsieve_mailbox1_causes = COPY APPEND imapsieve_mailbox1_before = file:/usr/local/lib/dovecot/sieve/report-spam.sieve imapsieve_mailbox2_name = * imapsieve_mailbox2_from = Junk imapsieve_mailbox2_causes = COPY imapsieve_mailbox2_before = file:/usr/local/lib/dovecot/sieve/report-ham.sieve imapsieve_mailbox3_name = Inbox imapsieve_mailbox3_causes = APPEND imapsieve_mailbox3_before = file:/usr/local/lib/dovecot/sieve/report-ham.sieve sieve_pipe_bin_dir = /usr/local/lib/dovecot/sieve } Any ideas on what I can do?

Multiple non-plaintext mechanisms using multiple passdbs.
by Jesús Ángel del Pozo Domínguez 17 Jun '21

17 Jun '21

Hi there, Although I have set up TLS in my Dovecot installation, I would like to also set up some non-plaintext authentication mechanism, specifically CRAM-MD5 and SCRAM-SHA-1. As I read in the documents, "The problem with non-plaintext auth mechanisms is that the password must be stored either in plaintext, or using a mechanism-specific scheme that’s incompatible with all other non-plaintext mechanisms". I will not be storing the user's passwords in plaintext, so I will have to use different mechanism-specific hash schemes. I was wondering whether it would be possible to have several auth databases, one for each non-plaintext mechanism. Well, in reality, I will have just one database with multiple hashes: SHA512-CRYPT, CRAM-MD5 and SCRAM-SHA-1 but then I am going to set up three different passdb instances in dovecot, each one with its own SQL configuration. For example: passdb { driver = sql args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql-plain.conf.ext } passdb { driver = sql args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql-cram-md5.conf.ext } passdb { driver = sql args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql-scram-sha-1.conf.ext } Most users would use TLS and PLAIN as authentication mechanism so the last two password databases will not be used at all. However, those users using CRAM-MD5 or SCRAM-SHA-1 would try the other databases. My users table would be somewhat like this: CREATE TABLE users ( username VARCHAR(128) NOT NULL, domain VARCHAR(128) NOT NULL, password VARCHAR(77) NOT NULL, password_cram_md5 VARCHAR(74) NOT NULL, password_scram_sha_1 VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL, home VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, uid INTEGER NOT NULL, gid INTEGER NOT NULL, active CHAR(1) DEFAULT 'Y' NOT NULL ); username: foo(a)bar.com domain: bar.com password: {SHA512-CRYPT}$6$Mih5.y90z...CqxX2LxfMJMqoC42NvBK1 password_cram_md5: {CRAM-MD5}a457...2a74f63442e7473e9576cf2e password_scram_sha_1: {SCRAM-SHA-1}4096,4...9AYjadouwXqiqc3UM= Obviously, the SQL query in each dovecot-sql-....ext file would be different. For instance: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql-plain.conf.ext default_pass_scheme = SHA512-CRYPT password_query = \ SELECT username, domain, password, home AS userdb_home, uid AS userdb_uid FROM users WHERE username = '%n' AND domain = '%d' /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql-cram-md5.conf.ext default_pass_scheme = CRAM-MD5 password_query = \ SELECT username, domain, password_cram_md5 AS password, home AS userdb_home, uid AS userdb_uid FROM users WHERE username = '%n' AND domain = '%d' /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql-scram-sha-1.conf.ext default_pass_scheme = SCRAM-SHA-1 password_query = \ SELECT username, domain, password_scram_sha_1 AS password, home AS userdb_home, uid AS userdb_uid FROM users WHERE username = '%n' AND domain = '%d' Could you please tell me whether this set up would work? Do you believe is worth the complexity or maybe I had better keep it more simple and use just PLAIN auth with TLS? Cheers, Jesús Ángel

Mapping usernames used for authentication to UNIX usernames
by Frank Volf 17 Jun '21

17 Jun '21

Hi, I'm looking for some advice or pointers how to best solve a small problem that I have. I have no doubt that this can be done in dovecot, but I'm struggling to find the easiest way to implement it. First of all, what I have: I have a relative small dovecot setup for a dozen domains, and about 50 users in total. All users use IMAP to retrieve mail, and SMTP submission protocol to submit email. Because of the small size, every user has its own UNIX account, authentication is done using PAM and mail is stored in a Maildir folder in their home directory. Works perfectly! There is one minor inconvenience. When a new mail client is configured, users (often guided by the auto config generator of the mail client) tend to use their email address as the username to authenticate instead of their UNIX account name, which fails of course. Would it be possible to configure something that will map an email address to the UNIX account name and use the account name for authentication and obtaining the related information (uid, gid, home dir)? I do have two concerns: 1) I do not want to break existing mail configurations, so authentication with the UNIX username should still be possible. 2) I cannot do a simple reg. exp for the translation because every email domain has e.g. an info(a)domain.com mailbox, and I do not want them all to go to UNIX user "info". As said, I would appreciate any advice on how this can be configured the easiest. Thanks in advance. Kind regards, Frank

N-way replication, multiple masters
by Raymond Sellars 17 Jun '21

17 Jun '21

Hi Looking for some guidance on how to setup a dovecot cluster with more than 2 servers. Ideally as multiple masters so I don't have the complexity of back recovery/synchronisation in failover situations. And I can utilised upstream load balancers (director or other) to automatically move between available nodes. Current pattern is: High availability at one site (AWS availability zone) with two active servers behind dovecot directors and an AWS network load balancer in front of the directors. A third dovecot server as a disaster recovery instance (another availability zone or region), with ideally real time and bidirectional replication. Behind a different network and NLB access path. Dovecot --version = 2.3.14 Centos 7 Previously for the HA pair we utilised NFS but the AWS EFS equivalent doesn't perform ( very high latency and NFS meta data caching required). And then for DR we utilised the dovecot replication. 2 way so I have automated recovery and could do active active testing/verification as required with no down time. This help verify recovery pathways. https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/replication/# - reading the documentation is seems clear that replication only supports a PAIR of masters. Any ideas on how I can add in a 3rd replication node? Two pairs? I'm happy to utilise a star pattern. HA 1 <-> HA2, HA 1 <-> DR. Not possible? Can I run more than one replicator? Or should I utilise doveadm sync via cron jobs and 2-way sync. Any thoughts, suggestions most welcome. How are others achieving > 2 clusters for dovecot servers supporting the same domain? Most of this is for availability rather than purely performance scaling. Thanks Raymond

Piping to doveadm pw
by Kevin N. 16 Jun '21

16 Jun '21

Hello everybody, I am using 'doveadm pw' from inside a bash script to generate the salted hash for a user provided password. I call it like: doveadm pw -s SHA256-CRYPT -u $user -p $password Is there any possible way to use piping (so it won't show up in ps for example) to pass the username and password to 'doveadm pw' instead of using arguments? Dovecot version: 2.3.14 Many thanks, Kevin

LMTP with hardlinks ?
by Vladislav Kurz 16 Jun '21

16 Jun '21

Hello, I'm looking for deduplication of mails via hardlinks during delivery. I.e. a mail that is sent to multiple recipients (to, cc, bcc) should be stored only once. I did some search and found only some non-complete information. dovecot-lda has a "-p path" option that does the delivery using symlinks if possible (i.e. same uid/gid and same filesystem). This is working by hand, but could not find any hints how to use this with postfix. Found only suggestion of a wrapper, that was probably never implemented - in this thread: https://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2008-June/031158.html In this message: https://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2013-February/088540.html there is statement that: LMTP always delivers the mail to the first user. Then it tries to copy the first mail to the second user, because in some setups this can be done using hard links. I was not able to get this in my setup, and I'd like to know if this statement is really true. I have all mail in /var/vmail, all owned by vmail user, but still mail delivered to multiple users is duplicated. If this is really supposed to make hardlinks (which would be great), is there any way to debug it? E.g. see if the hardlink was attempted but failed for some reason, or if the message was delivered in the same LMTP session ? -- Best Regards Vladislav Kurz

lda to lmtp
by Laura Steynes 14 Jun '21

14 Jun '21

Hi, Although dovecot-lda serves us fine, we only average 8k messages an hour, peaking at 11k, over 4 machines (mostly for redundancy, we've run this fine on just 1 machine, but sometimes clamav makes things get upset, so we added some more especially since we are growing rapidly, we decided to see if lmtp would be of benefit, so far, we cant tell any difference, I guess it is only 120-130 messages a minute, maybe if we were doing 200 a minute we might see gain? The question is with lda we used postfix settings destination_recipient_limit=1, we have not added this with lmtp,is this needed?

Hello, I've recently converted from using procmail as an lda to using lmtp+sieve (and it's overall great). My setup is currently doing post-queue spamassassin to pickup user rules (and to be substantially similar to how it worked before). It mostly works, but I get some mail forwarded from another host that also runs spamassassin, so the mail comes with X-Spam headers already set. I can see that my sieve_before script successfully sends the message off to spamc/spamd - however the message ends up in my mailbox with only the pre-existing X-Spam headers (I had expected them to be replaced or to see duplicates). I thought I'd try to just strip them from incoming mail so I used deleteheader, I got a trace saying it matches and deletes the headers, then sends the mail off to spamc/spamd - but the message that ends up in my mailbox has the headers that were presumably deleted. My before.sieve looks like this: require ["vnd.dovecot.filter","editheader"]; # rule:[spamfilter] if size :under 10485760 { deleteheader :matches "X-Spam-Flag" "*"; deleteheader :matches "X-Spam-Status" "*"; deleteheader :matches "X-Spam-Level" "*"; deleteheader :matches "X-Spam-Checker-Version" "*"; filter "spamc" ["-s","10485760","-U","/var/run/spamd.sock"]; } Trace file says: ## Started executing script 'before' 6: size :under test 6: comparing message size 4197 6: with lower limit 10485760 6: jump if result is false 6: not jumping 11: deleteheader command 11: deleting matching occurrences of header `X-Spam-Flag' 11: header `X-Spam-Flag' not found 12: deleteheader command 12: deleting matching occurrences of header `X-Spam-Status' 12: starting `:matches' match with `i;ascii-casemap' comparator: 12: matching value `No, score=-0.2 required=5.0 tests=DKIM_SIGNED,DKIM_VALID, DKIM_VALID_AU,DKIM_.. .' 12: with key `*' => 1 12: deleting header with value `No, score=-0.2 required=5.0 tests=DKIM_SIGNED,DKIM_VALID, DKIM_VALI D_AU,DKIM_VALID_EF,FREEMAIL_FROM,HTML_MESSAGE, RCVD_IN_DNSWL_NONE,SPF_HELO_NONE,SPF_PASS autolearn=ham au tolearn_force=no version=3.4.2' 12: finishing match with result: matched 13: deleteheader command 13: deleting matching occurrences of header `X-Spam-Level' 13: header `X-Spam-Level' not found 14: deleteheader command 14: deleting matching occurrences of header `X-Spam-Checker-Version' 14: starting `:matches' match with `i;ascii-casemap' comparator: 14: matching value `SpamAssassin 3.4.2 (2018-09-13) on braeburn.macports.org' 14: with key `*' => 1 14: deleting header with value `SpamAssassin 3.4.2 (2018-09-13) on braeburn.macports.org' 14: finishing match with result: matched 16: filter action 16: execute program `spamc' 16: executed program successfully 16: changed message ## Finished executing script 'before' It then falls through my personal sieve filter and hits the implicit keep at the end and ends up in my inbox - with the original headers. So, two questions: 1. What am I missing? 2. Is there a way to match any X-Spam-* header? (when I tried deleteheader :matches "X-Spam*" it didn't match anything). Thanks. -- Daniel J. Luke

Use of Sieve with Dovecot not possible cause of error

**What happened?** The description of the problem concerns the Thunderbird but also the stand alone version and other sieve editors. I would like to edit Sieve via the plugin/program. My mail account works without problems and can also send/receive. Creating a new account is possible without any problems. As soon as I click on "Connect", the loading bar is permanently there and nothing happens. I have activated debugging in the settings, but I don't know where it is saved. if someone tells me, I can submit the required log later. **Settings** Settings from Sieve: Server imap.xxxxxx.eu: 4190 (Secured connection) Username my(a)fancydomain.eu **Logs** dovecot-mailcow_1 | May 9 02:47:16 04888203e1b5 dovecot: managesieve-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts in 0 secs): user=<>, rip=92.123.123.123, lip=123.123.123.123, TLS handshaking: SSL_accept() failed: error:14094412:SSL routines:ssl3_read_bytes:sslv3 alert bad certificate: SSL alert number 42 **What i tried?** 1. gnutls-cli --starttls -p 4190 imap.xxxxxx.eu Output: `Processed 129 CA certificate(s).

Shared Mailboxes in Dovecot Cluster & director configuration
by Vincent Brillault 10 Jun '21

10 Jun '21

Hi! I've been trying to set a shared namespace on a test dovecot cluster and I've had some weird issues. I'm not sure if this is a feature or a bug, so please advice. As some features (like acl_ignore_namespace) are only in the upcoming 2.3.15, after some initial debugging, I've update the system I'm using to the master branches (df1b4b8750fdb87d38ac9accb8a1dea02ac3ce2e for core and 7090e62564bcb7bff7efc89bd2a42b1d32d9e475 for pigeonhole), but it didn't change the initial issues I was having. I've been following https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/shared_mailboxes/cluster_setup/ and linked documentations to set up the cluster. You'll find at the end of the mail the parts of the configuration that seems to be relevant. The issues I've had was with the `You’ll need to setup master user logins to work for all the users.` and `imapc_master_user` (for which the bullet points recommend to use `%{userdb:sharing_user}` but is then set to `%u` in the example. For the sake of the tests, I'm using one director and one backend. On this installation: - user1 shared the folder 'Junk' with user2 - after logging as user2, I run `a2 SELECT shared/user1/Junk` Initially on the director, I had (excluding other, unrelated configuration): ``` # Connection back from backends for shared mailbox access passdb { args = password=XXXX allow_nets=${IPs of backend} driver = static master = yes mechanisms = plain result_success = continue } ``` However, this lead to login failures on the director as the backend was logging directly as user1, without master user set! After further debugging, I now have on the director: ``` # Connection back from backends for shared mailbox access passdb { args = password=XXXX allow_nets=${IPs of backend} driver = static master = yes mechanisms = plain result_success = continue } passdb { args = password=XXXX allow_nets=${IPs of backend} driver = static mechanisms = plain result_success = continue } ``` And this works! Looking at the log, it's not that my `imapc_master_user` is not recognized, just that there are two imapc connections from the backend to the frontend. - The first one logs as user1 directly, with no master user set: ``` ${backend} dovecot[29900]: imap(user2)<29917><Mi/7WD/EgYi8uE1E>: Debug: imapc(${director}:993): Authenticating as user1 ``` - The second connection logs as expected, as user1 with user2 set as the master user: ``` ${backend} dovecot[29900]: imap(user2)<29917><Mi/7WD/EgYi8uE1E>: Debug: imapc(${director}:993): Authenticating as user2 for user user1 ``` Is it normal to have these two connections back to the director? From the documentation, I would have only expected the 2nd one. Going further, if I add a static part to imapc_master_user, like for example `imapc_master_user = X%{userdb:sharing_user}`, the logged authentications become: ``` ${backend} dovecot: imap(user2)<31073><xu94pz/EqYi8uE1E>: Debug: imapc(${director}:993): Authenticating as X for user user1 [...] ${backend} dovecot: imap(user2)<31073><xu94pz/EqYi8uE1E>: Debug: imapc(${director}:993): Authenticating as Xuser2 for user user1 ``` It looks to me that for the first connection, imapc_master_user is resolved with the wrong context, without `userdb:sharing_user` resolving to anything? Thanks in advance, let me know if you need more details.

2.3.13 broken submission relay smtp parser
by Tony Hain 09 Jun '21

09 Jun '21

I have a new install of dovecot 2.3.13, along with exim 4.94, in an Azure hosted FreeBSD 12.2 VM. I have been running exim on local hardware with FreeBSD for 15+ years, but dovecot and Azure are a new "learning experience". I am getting an error response in dovecot.log when trying to use the submission relay function, which is apparently new in 2.3... It would appear the parser is either broken or has a character set limitation that no other smtp implementation has. I finally gave up trying to figure out what I might have done wrong in setting up exim and pointed dovecot at mailjet and got the same error. Jun 08 19:39:42 submission(testing(a)dispatch.tndh.net)<89538><lOfAL0zEFNmsOCrh>: Warning: smtp-client: conn in-v3.mailjet.com:587 (104.199.96.85:587) [1]: Received invalid EHLO response line: Unexpected character in EHLO keyword Jun 08 19:39:42 submission(testing(a)dispatch.tndh.net)<89538><lOfAL0zEFNmsOCrh>: Warning: smtp-client: conn in-v3.mailjet.com:587 (104.199.96.85:587) [1]: Received invalid EHLO response line: Unexpected character in EHLO keyword I didn't try the mailjet path with telnet, but I had done that earlier with the local exim server and I can't see any invalid characters, even in the tcpdump pcap file.

If it really is smtp, it would be most helpful if the error message actually reported what string it is taking issue with. I have the dovecot-sysreport, but I am not encouraged about sending it when stdout presented: # dovecot-sysreport Gathering configurations ... grep: The -P option is not supportedgrep: The -P option is not supported grep: The -P option is not supported Gathering system informations ...
