imap-hibernate not working
by Marcelo Coelho 13 Mar '19

13 Mar '19

Hi, I follow different setup instructions and I can't make imap-hibernate work. I've tried vmail and dovecot as users, tried to set mode to 0666, without success. I'm using FreeBSD 11.2. Is imap-hibernate compatible with FreeBSD 11.2? My operational system: # uname -v FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE-p9 #0: Tue Feb 5 15:30:36 UTC 2019 root@amd64-builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC Here are my logs: Mar 8 15:30:57 servername dovecot: imap(user@domain.com:52.125.128.90): Error: kevent(-1) for notify remove failed: Bad file descriptor Mar 8 15:30:57 servername dovecot: imap(user@domain.com:52.125.128.90): Error: close(-1) for notify remove failed: Bad file descriptor Mar 8 15:30:57 servername dovecot: imap-hibernate: Error: Failed to parse client input: Invalid peer_dev_minor value: 18446744073709486335 Mar 8 15:30:57 servername dovecot: imap(user@domain.com:52.125.128.90): Error: /opt/dovecot/2.3.5/var/run/dovecot/imap-hibernate returned failure: Failed to parse client input: Invalid peer_dev_minor value: 18446744073709486335 Mar 8 15:30:57 servername dovecot: imap: Error: Here are my processes: # ps aux | grep imap dovenull 68264 0.0 0.0 12012 8292 -

Suggestions for dovecot-submission (XCLIENT NAME attribute)
by Marcelo Coelho 12 Mar '19

12 Mar '19

Hi, Currently, Dovecot Submission doesn't forward NAME attribute when XCLIENT is enable: Received: from server.example.org (localhost [1.2.3.4]) (Authenticated sender: test(a)example.org) by localhost (Postfix) with ESMTPA id AAAAAAAAAA for <user(a)domain.com>; Fri, 8 Mar 2019 12:28:02 Postfix adds a header with the sender IP address (1.2.3.4), but with localhost as hostname. It would be great if Dovecot Submission send NAME attribute, with the resolved hostname of the sender IP (ADDR attribute). Thank you! -- Marcelo Coelho

Sieve scripts not triggered on IMAP inbound messages using IMAPC
by Fred 12 Mar '19

12 Mar '19

Good morning. I am using Dovecot as an IMAP proxy -- using IMAPC -- and the system is working great. Thank you for contributing such great software to the community! I'm using Dovcot 2.3.5 and Pigeonhole 0.5.5. My server is located behind a content-filtering firewall that will mark incoming messages by adding "[SPAM]" to the subject line. I'm trying to use Sieve to identify those messages and move them into the Spam folder. I have a basic Sieve script that looks like this: require ["fileinto"]; if anyof (header :contains "Subject" "[SPAM]", header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" "Yes") { fileinto "Spam"; stop; } I can see in the logs that Sieve is loaded, and also the imapsieve_plugin Debug: sieve: Pigeonhole version 0.5.5 (2483b085) initializing Debug: sieve: Sieve imapsieve plugin for Pigeonhole version 0.5.5 (2483b085) loaded Sieve detects outbound messages (from the log: Debug: imapsieve: mailbox INBOX.Sent: APPEND event) but nothing registers for inbound, and my spam_rule is never triggered. Any suggestions?

Assistance with doveadm backup...
by SH Development 11 Mar '19

11 Mar '19

I am having trouble locating examples of how to use doveadm backup. All the examples I see are for sync. I simply want to create a backup to a network volume of the email server's vmail folders. The goal here is to have a reasonably current backup should the main drive on the email server go south. We currently authenticate our users from a mysql database. User’s mailboxes are stored as domainname/username/Maildir I assume what I will wind up on the network volume is a duplicate directory structure as the vmail folder on the email server? Can someone help get me started here? Jeff

readonly archive folders using squashfs
by Natu 11 Mar '19

11 Mar '19

I have a dovecot server running under CentOS using maildir format. Due to the issue with minimum blocksize for files I would like to offer some kind of readonly archive using something like the compressed squashfs where I would move messages to be archived to a maildir folder and then convert "cur" directory into a squashfs and mount it in place of the original directory so my biggest users could have readonly access to older messages without it using so much disk space. Has anyone tried anything like this before and is dovecot likely to complain about the readonly cur directory? If the complaints are minimal and didn't cause other problems it might be ok. Any better ideas to implement something like this? Thank You, Natu

I've made some tests and this solution seems very serviceable, for the only exception for the user name on Thunderbird. Unlike what is stated in this RFC, Thunderbird "takes" only the name and not the entire email address as the username. Anyone knows if is it possible to communicate the username type via RFC? Many thanks again! Davide

GSSAPI and usernames, not Kerberos ticket names
by Dmitry Donskih 09 Mar '19

09 Mar '19

Hi all, I've got a Dovecot v2.3.3 IMAP with GSSAPI auth set up. This server is in main domain, 'contoso.com'. I also have several subdomains. My problem is usernames with GSSAPI authentication: When I try to login as 'user' or as 'user(a)CONTOSO.COM' - everything works. But, 'user(a)contoso.com' auth fails. But when I try to login as subdomain user, 'user2' - it fails to login. 'user2(a)sub.contoso.com' fails also. However, 'user2(a)SUB.CONTOSO.COM' works ok. It looks like PAM uses domain part of login as Kerberos realm name, regardless of Kerberos domain-realm mapping. Also, if domain part is not specified, PAM (Kerberos?) fails to determine non-default realm. What am I missing? Is there a way to use traditional 'user@domain' login names with PAM/GSSAPI, instead of Kerberos ticket names? Or maybe to tell PAM module to convert domain part of username to uppercase before using? Thanks on any help or advice. ===== dovecot.conf: ===== auth_mechanisms = gssapi plain login external auth_gssapi_hostname = "$ALL" auth_krb5_keytab = /etc/krb5.keytab auth_default_realm = passdb { driver = pam args = cache_key=%d%r%n failure_show_msg=yes dovecot } userdb { driver = static args = uid=502 gid=502 home=/var/vmail/%L{auth_domain}/%L{auth_username} mail=maildir:/var/vmail/%L{auth_domain}/%L{auth_username}/Maildir allow_all_users=yes } ===== ===== pam.d/dovecot: ===== auth sufficient pam_krb5.so use_first_pass account [default=bad success=ok user_unknown=ignore] pam_krb5.so password sufficient pam_krb5.so use_authtok session optional pam_krb5.so ===== ===== krb5.conf: ===== [libdefaults] default_realm = CONTOSO.COM dns_lookup_realm = true dns_lookup_kdc = true [realms] CONTOSO.COM = { kdc = dc.contoso.com:88 admin_server = dc.contoso.com:749 } [domain_realm] contoso.com = CONTOSO.COM .contoso.com = CONTOSO.COM sub.contoso.com = CONTOSO.COM .sub.contoso.com = CONTOSO.COM SUB.CONTOSO.COM = CONTOSO.COM .SUB.CONTOSO.COM = CONTOSO.COM [appdefaults] pam = { ticket_lifetime = 36000 renew_lifetime = 36000 forwardable = true krb4_convert = false } ===== klist server ==== Default principal: imap/mail2.contoso.com(a)CONTOSO.COM ===== klist client ==== Default principal: user2(a)SUB.CONTOSO.COM ===== Logging in with user2(a)SUB.CONTOSO.COM - OK: ===== auth: Debug: client in: AUTH 1 GSSAPI service=imap secured=tls session=.... auth: Debug: gssapi(?,192.168.....,<MR1yvq6DftfAqAoP>): Using all keytab entries auth: Debug: client passdb out: CONT 1 auth: Debug: client in: CONT<hidden> auth: Debug: gssapi(user2(a)sub.contoso.com,192.168....,<MR1yvq6DftfAqAoP>): security context state completed. auth: Debug: client passdb out: CONT 1 YIGVB.... auth: Debug: client in: CONT<hidden> auth: Debug: gssapi(user2(a)sub.contoso.com,192.168.....,<MR1yvq6DftfAqAoP>): Negotiated security layer auth: Debug: client passdb out: CONT 1 BQQF/..... auth: Debug: client in: CONT<hidden> auth: Debug: pam(user2(a)sub.contoso.com,192.168.....,<MR1yvq6DftfAqAoP>): passdb doesn't support credential lookups auth: Debug: gssapi(user2(a)sub.contoso.com,192.168.....,<MR1yvq6DftfAqAoP>): skipping passdb: mechanism filtered auth: Debug: client passdb out: OK 1 user=user2(a)sub.contoso.com original_user=user2(a)SUB.CONTOSO.COM ===== Logging in with user2(a)sub.contoso.com - FAIL: ===== auth: Debug: client in: AUTH 1 GSSAPI service=imap secured=tls session=... auth: Debug: gssapi(?,192.168....,<Hgh4zq6DhNfAqAoP>): Using all keytab entries auth: Debug: client passdb out: CONT 1 auth: Debug: client in: CONT<hidden> auth: Debug: gssapi(user2(a)sub.contoso.com,192.168....,<Hgh4zq6DhNfAqAoP>): security context state completed. auth: Debug: client passdb out: CONT 1 YIGVB..... auth: Debug: client in: CONT<hidden> auth: Debug: gssapi(user2(a)sub.contoso.com,192.168....,<Hgh4zq6DhNfAqAoP>): Negotiated security layer auth: Debug: client passdb out: CONT 1 BQQF/..... auth: Debug: client in: CONT<hidden> auth: Debug: pam(user2(a)sub.contoso.com,192.168.....,<Hgh4zq6DhNfAqAoP>): passdb doesn't support credential lookups auth: Debug: gssapi(user2(a)sub.contoso.com,192.168.....,<Hgh4zq6DhNfAqAoP>): skipping passdb: mechanism filtered auth: Debug: client passdb out: FAIL 1 user=user2(a)sub.contoso.com original_user=user2(a)SUB.CONTOSO.COM

Auto MX Email Client configuration, the right way?
by Davide Marchi 09 Mar '19

09 Mar '19

Hi Friends! An opinion. I would like to facilitate the configuration of one's mail client (desktop or mobile) to my users server. Some time ago I asked the same question and you suggested me to use "Automx". So I started of good will and I looked for the Automx documentation. And here the problems started as I found several inconsistencies, even parameters (in official documentation) that produce Apache errors.. to complicate things, different path between deb packages and official version :-) Now I've seen the new RFC 6186 specification (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6186) that describe a "DNS way" to achieve the same goal. [..] 4. Guidance for MUAs By using SRV records as above, MUAs need initially only to prompt the user for their email address [RFC5322]. The "local-part" and "domain" portions are then extracted from the email address by the MUA. The MUA uses the "domain" portion as the service domain to perform SRV lookups for the services it wants to configure. If the SRV lookup is successful, the target FQDN and port for the service can be determined and used to complete MUA configuration. If an SRV record is not found, the MUA will need to prompt the user to enter the FQDN and port information directly, or use some other heuristic. In the case of multiple SRV records returned for a particular service, the MUA MUST use the priority and weight fields in the record to determine which one to use (as per [RFC2782]). [..] again: [..] When a user identifier is required, MUAs MUST first use the full email address provided by the user, and if that results in an authentication failure, SHOULD fall back to using the "local- part" extracted from the email address. This is in line with the guidance outlined in Section 5. If both these user identifiers result in authentication failure, the MUA SHOULD prompt the user for a valid identifier. [..] here I have the biggest doubt, in fact Thunderbird often uses only the username and not the whole email address, both for incoming and outgoing server... Is any of you using this second way? And possibly, do you kniw if it works with different clients (desktop and mobile)? Many many thanks! Davide

There is no database involved. I use LDAP for the authentication. The mails are stored locally on each server and replicated with the replication feature of dovecot.

Aki, thanks I'm not certain I understand your comment properly I currently have server 'geko' intention was to change A record to assign geko to new IP/server, assign new hostname to oldserver A record I guess I;ll still get some emails delivered to oldserver with new hostname/old ip for 24 hours or so after aA record change ? so, I was going to re run rsync 2 or 3 times over the first 24 hours or so ? are you saying NOT to rsync once A record changed ? sorry for being slow (sorry for sending not to list...)

how to enable PowerDNS/Weakforced with Fedora and sendmail
by Robert Kudyba 07 Mar '19

07 Mar '19

We have dovecot-1:2.3.3-1.fc29.x86_64 running on Fedora 29. I'd like to test wforce, from https://github.com/PowerDNS/weakforced. I see instructions at the Authentication policy support page, https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/Policy I see the Required Minimum Configuration: auth_policy_server_url = http://example.com:4001/ auth_policy_hash_nonce = localized_random_string But when I search for these directives, they're not found: grep auth_policy_server_url /etc/dovecot/conf.d/* Are these to be added to the /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-auth.conf file? Does anyone know if a good tutorial?

Sieve fileinto copies messages instead of moving them
by Michael Goth 07 Mar '19

07 Mar '19

Hi, we're running Doveocot 2.3.4.1 with Pigeonhole, from repo.webflow.org. As far as I understand the RFC for 'fileinto', the following Sieve script should move a message either into the folder "SPAM" or "MaybeSPAM": require ["fileinto"]; # rule:[SPAM] if header :contains "subject" "SPAMSPAM" { fileinto "SPAM"; } # rule:[SPAMSPAM] if header :contains "subject" "SPAM" { fileinto "MaybeSPAM"; } But when I receive a message with subject "SPAMSPAM", the message turns up in "SPAM" and "MaybeSPAM". Is this expected behaviour? Thanks! Michael -- Michael Goth .webflow GmbH Geschäftsführer: Andreas Schrei Wasserburger Straße 4 D - 83352 Altenmarkt a. d.

Hi Folks ! I finaly resolve my problem ! 😊 First of all I had to modify namespaces : ####################################################### namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Archive { auto = subscribe special_use = \Archive } mailbox Drafts { auto = subscribe special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { auto = subscribe special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { auto = subscribe special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { auto = subscribe special_use = \Trash } prefix = INBOX/ separator = / subscriptions = yes type = private } namespace partage { list = children location = maildir:/mnt/mail/vmail/%%d/%%n:INDEXPVT=/mnt/mail/vmail/%d/%n/shared/%%u prefix = shared/%%u/ separator = / subscriptions = yes type = shared } ####################################################### Also change the « replication_dsync_parameters » in aim to syncronize only the Private namespace : ==> replication_dsync_parameters = -d -n inbox -l 30 -U I change the sharing command from « acl set » to « acl add » AND THE MOST IMPORTANT ==> RUN THE COMMAND ON THE 2 SERVER because of active/active réplication… ==> doveadm acl add -u user2(a)exemple.fr INBOX user=user1(a)exemple.fr admin create delete expunge insert lookup post read write write-deleted write-seen Hope this may help if someone is faced to the same problem Best regards Laurent

“Message cannot be displayed because of the way it is formatted” iOS
by James Brown 06 Mar '19

06 Mar '19

Have updated our mail server and are now running Dovecot 2.3.4. Things are mostly working OK, but occasionally I have users on latest iOS getting this message: “this message cannot be displayed because of the way it is formatted. Ask the sender to send it again using a different format or email program. multipart/alternative” The email seems to open OK on the macOS version of Mail.app. Also getting “Loading...” displayed in body section of the app with content never displayed. Most emails are fine, but just get this strange ones occasionally. Our previous mail server was much older, with older version of Dovecot, etc. This server never used to have these issues. Just wondering if anyone has any ideas or suggestions? Can’t see anything in the logs. Thanks, James.

getrandom() before forking daemon is blocking init system
by Axel Burri 05 Mar '19

05 Mar '19

Hello When booting from a slow machine, I can observe dovecot blocking the whole boot process. I traced it down to the getrandom() system call in lib/randgen.c, which blocks until the random number generator is initialized (dmesg "random: crng init done"). This can take up to three minutes (!) on my machine, as there is not much entropy available (no hardware RNG, network VPN is also waiting for random). Unfortunately dovecot calls getrandom() before forking a daemon, which as a consequence blocks the whole init process (OpenRC on Gentoo Linux). I believe this behavior has changed in kernel 4.14: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?h=… Quoting getrandom(2): "If the urandom source has not yet been initialized, then getrandom() will block, unless GRND_NONBLOCK is specified in flags." Dovecot: 2.3.4.1 (f79e8e7e4) Linux: 4.19.26-gentoo #2 SMP Thu Feb 28 20:30:23 CET 2019 x86_64 AMD G-T40E Processor AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux Regards, Axel

Pigeonhole v0.5.5 released
by Aki Tuomi 05 Mar '19

05 Mar '19

Hi! We are happy to release pigeonhole v0.5.5 for dovecot v2.3.5. Please find sources at https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3-pigeonhole-0.5.5.ta… https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3-pigeonhole-0.5.5.ta… (Please note that the signing key has been changed for 0.5.5, see https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/download.html for details.) You can find precompiled binaries at https://repo.dovecot.org/ NEWS: + IMAPSieve: Add new plugin/imapsieve_expunge_discarded setting which causes messages discarded by an IMAPSieve script to be expunged immediately, rather than only being marked as "\Deleted" (which is still the default behavior). - IMAPSieve: Fix panic crash occurring when a COPY command copies messages from a virtual mailbox where the source messages originate from more than a single real mailbox. - imap4flags extension: Fix deleting all keywords. When the action resulted in all keywords being removed, no changes were actually applied. - variables extension: Fix truncation of UTF-8 variable content. The maximum size of Sieve variables was enforced by truncating the variable string content bluntly at the limit, but this does not consider UTF-8 code point boundaries. This resulted in broken UTF-8 strings. This problem also surfaced for variable modifiers, such as the ":encodeurl" modifier provided by the Sieve "enotify" extension. In that case, the resulting URI escaping could also be truncated inappropriately. - IMAPSieve, IMAP FILTER=SIEVE: Fix replacing a modified message. Sieve scripts running in IMAPSIEVE or IMAP FILTER=SIEVE context that modify the message, stored the message a second time, rather than replacing the originally stored unmodified message. - Fix segmentation fault occurring when both the sieve_extprograms plugin (for the Sieve interpreter) and the imap_filter_sieve plugin (for IMAP) are loaded at the same time. A symbol was defined by both plugins, causing a clash when both were loaded. --- Aki Tuomi Open-Xchange Oy

two lots of dovecot files
by mick crane 04 Mar '19

04 Mar '19

hello is debian buster I have 2 sets of dovecot files, I don't know why. one in /etc/dovecot and one in /usr/share/dovecot they are not links they are actual files. if I rename /etc/dovecot and restart service then I get connection refused when use roundcube. Some time ago my roundcube installation stopped working properly for the web configuration options. Should I have these 2 directories or just want the one ? If want only one it's likely then that I configure wrong file with same name when I thought my ssl certificate has expired. Is OK to delete /etc/dovecot and check configuration in /usr/share/dovecot ? -- Key ID C7D6E24C

Pigeonhome Sieve: check existence of a folder?
by AvV 03 Mar '19

03 Mar '19

Dear All, Thanks ofr the great job so far. I have crawled the doc & web, and did not find oh to check for the presence of a folder ina a mailbox? I know about "fileinto :create" of course, but the purpose is slightly different: I want to automate the move into a folder based on some rules but *only if* an associated folder is present (which name is based on the rule), otherwise I will do a form of catch-all. Example: - INBOX +- abc +- def - Rule detects "aaa" in someheader field: folder "aaa" not present" -> continue; - Rule detect "def" in some header field: "def exists" -> fileinto "def" ; stop; Any help appreciated. Cheers, A/

Unexpected behavior with sieve_vacation_to_header_ignore_envelope = yes
by Matthias Petermann 03 Mar '19

03 Mar '19

Hello, we face an issue with the vacation extension of pigeonhole. Our upstream mail server (from which we pull our E-Mails with POP3) uses SPF and performs a SRS re-write of the Return Path. Once the mail is processed via our local postfix, it is delivered via dovecot deliver (using the lda). When the recipient has a vacation rule enabled in sieve, the out-of-office note cannot be sent, as pigeonhole tries to use the Return-Path (which is not accepted as sender by the mail server). We are using the following dovecot / pigeonhole versions: dovecot-2.3.2.1 dovecot-pigeonhole-0.5.2 As of my understanding, the problem was addressed in pigeonhole version v0.4.21 by introducing the sieve_vacation_to_header_ignore_envelope setting. Anyway - even when this is set to "yes" pigeonhole still uses the Return-Path instead of the "From:" header which I had expected: Feb 27 13:22:26 mail dovecot: lda(customer)<48383><3o+yOQGBdlz/vAAAZU03Dg>: Error: sieve: msgid=<e081d2ba-21d5-c32b-3750-69fe0c8a76d2(a)petermann-it.de>: failed to send vacation response to SRS0=gwGXg6ad=RC=petermann-it.de=matthias(a)example.com: <Sendmail program returned error> (temporary error) Are my expectations wrong or did I miss some precondition?

Dovecot Logging and Shell Script Hang
by Asai 28 Feb '19

28 Feb '19

Greetings, We have a PHP based shell script that runs a doveadm backup routine. This script was running just fine, and then we turned on more logging for Dovecot (enabled the mail_log plugin). For some reason, once this was done, the shell script would run for a few minutes and then hang, as it added more log messages to the dsync STDOUT. Once the mail_log plugin was disabled, it ran without hanging. Is there any way to run doveadm and temporarily suspend the mail_log plugin? Or is there a better way to do this? Thanks for the insights. Asai

CASifying dovecot and webmail
by Juan Carlos Sánchez 27 Feb '19

27 Feb '19

Hello: I'm trying to authenticate webmail (roundcube) and dovecot with Apereo CAS. I don't find any good guide and everything I have found is some years old. Has any of you done a recent integration with CAS and can share the details ? Best regards -- ------------------------------------------------------ Juan Carlos Sanchez Hernandez Servicio de Infraestructura e Innovación Universidad Politecnica de Madrid - www.upm.es Rectorado Avda.

drwx-----x kunal kunal Storage I'm guessing this point is being more restrictive. Can you try changing this into 0755? Also suddenly you are no longer using vmail but random user IDs.

performance issue with UID SEARCH
by Ben Burke 27 Feb '19

27 Feb '19

Hi, I'm running dovecot 2.2.x and I'm having an issue where I see many dovecot processes use all the available IO on a server. According to iotop the worst offenders seem to be in this state (NOTE: I swapped in phony username & IP info): dovecot/imap [someusername 123.456.789.012 UID SEARCH] The server in question is running with Maildirs on top of an XFS filesystem. Is there anything I can do to optimize "UID SEARCH" or find out why it's being a problem? I've read https://wiki2.dovecot.org/PerformanceTuning and the linked pages. By "being a problem" I mean iostat -xmt 1 /dev/diskdevice shows 100% utilization for long periods and in some cases io service times are taking many seconds... which causes thunderbird to timeout when doing things like appending messages to user "Sent" mailboxes. Any ideas? Thanks, Ben Burke

Removing a mailbox from a dovecot cluster
by Francis 26 Feb '19

26 Feb '19

Hello, How should I remove a mailbox from a dovecot cluster? I have two dovecot in a cluster. I tried to remove one user's mailbox with theses commands I found with a little google search: doveadm flags add -u user(a)domain.tld "\\Deleted" ALL doveadm expunge -u user(a)domain.tld mailbox "*" DELETED doveadm purge -u user(a)domain.tld rm -fr /var/vmail/domains/domain.tld/user If I do theses commands in a script (so one command after one, very quick), the data just keep coming back from the other server in the cluster (I suppose this is what's happening). If I do theses commands manually, so more slowly, the mailbox is created again but empty this time. If I connect from an IMAP client, I see an empty mailbox. Same thing if I connect an IMAP client to the second server from the cluster. But I still see the data in the storage (mdbox) of the second server (the "m.#" files are still there an they waste space on disks). I tried to do a "doveadm purge" on the second server, but it did nothing more, the data is still keep on the disks. I'm running dovecot 2.2.33.2 on ubuntu 18.04 on both servers. Thanks! -- Francis

Virus scan + removal on a mdbox mail storage
by Christoph Haas 26 Feb '19

26 Feb '19

Hi, I need advice on how virus scan and removal can be done on a _mdbox_ mail storage? On a maildir storage the virus scanner (e.g. clamav etc.) can detect and remove a email that is infected, since every email and attachment are stored in separate files. But in mdbox the emails and attachments are compressed together in one ore more mdbox-files ... I am anxious to convert my mail storage for virus scanning into maildir format, since I don't know if a virus or crypto trojan con be activated with this converting action =:-o Cheers Christoph. -- Christoph Haas

Linking mailboxes

Hi, I am new to Dovecot and I am trying to link an email account folder to another Maildir(its a backup of the older email). I want the email account to be able to access the older emails. I am assuming this is done by creating a symlink? Currently reading instructions on this page:- https://wiki.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Symlinks At the moment I have the folder:- /var/mail/vhosts/example.com/email1/Maildir/.INBOX.newfolder Inside the folder:- drwx------. 2 vmail vmail 4096 Feb 23 13:39 cur -rw-------. 1 vmail vmail 232 Feb 23 13:43 dovecot.index.log -rw-------. 1 vmail vmail 51 Feb 23 13:43 dovecot-uidlist -rw-------. 1 vmail vmail 0 Feb 23 13:39 maildirfolder drwx------. 2 vmail vmail 4096 Feb 23 13:39 new lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 45 Feb 23 13:46 Other -> /run/media/computer/Storage/Email/mail/Other drwx------. 2 vmail vmail 4096 Feb 23 13:39 tmp lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 5 Feb 23 13:46 Users -> Users I am not able to access the folders in the Other folder structure(inside other there are other email inboxes ie(email1@example.com,email2@example.com,etc.). I want to get access to all the email subfolders. Could someone here advise how to do this or point me to some tutorials for this. Sincere apologies for this and many thanks in advance for helping...

Corrupted transaction log and redownloading
by azurit＠pobox.sk 25 Feb '19

25 Feb '19

Hi, today we had to hard-reboot one of our dovecot proxy backends and after boot up, lot's of accounts were showing this error and appeard empty: Error: Corrupted transaction log file ... After deleting the indexes (not uid file, problem wasn't in deleting indexes, i'm doing this often), e-mails showed up ok but e-mail clinets started to download them again. Why this happened and how to prevent it (other than 'not hard-rebooting')? I know that reboot could cause corruption of uid files in some cases but this time it looks like this was caused by corrupted indexes - how index corruption can cause redownloading and why? Thanks for any info. azur

password protected ssl key seems unsupported after update to 2.3.4.1
by admin＠f-hamelin.fr 25 Feb '19

25 Feb '19

Hi, On a debian server after an update to dovecot to 2.3.4.1 imaps mail client stop working. I’ve applied necessary migration for ssl_dh (cf https://wiki.dovecot.org/Upgrading/2.3 <https://wiki.dovecot.org/Upgrading/2.3> ) but that was not enough. The workaround I’ve setup was to remove password protection from the ssl_key file. All tests with ssl_key_password parameter failled (direct password, <path-file-with-password) searching I’ve found a message reporting a problem with that parameter and Stephan said it was tracked internally as DOP-851 Hope this will help.

permission denied errors with INDEX=MEMORY and trees plugin
by John McKay 24 Feb '19

24 Feb '19

I am using the trees[1] plugin to encrypt the mail on my disk. Because I don't want it to store any metadata in plaintext, I've also set INDEX=MEMORY in my mail_location configuration. However, whenever I get new mail I get errors like the following showing up in the journal: lmtp(john(a)octet.space)<21780><QDkrBqTXclwUVQAAQHGRUQ>: Error: Mailbox INBOX: Saving mail: read(/var/vmail/octet.space/john/Maildir/tmp/1551030180.M508113P21780.toaster.octet.space) failed: Permission denied (read reason=header Subject (Cache file is unusable)) It's like it's trying to read the message after it's been delivered, but is not able to because it's been encrypted. I seem to be able to get email just fine despite the error message. This happens both if I deliver mail using dovecot-lda or lmtp. Is there any way to fix this or at the very least suppress the error message? I have included my dovecot configuration below.

LMTP and public mailboxes?
by Eric Abrahamsen 22 Feb '19

22 Feb '19

Hi, I've been using postfix and dovecot for a few years, and have been doing public mailboxes with dovecot-lda, using a postfix transport that looks like (line wrapped for the mailer): my-public-transport unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/bin/spamc -u <me> -e \ /usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda -f ${sender} -d <me> -m public/${user} So messages first passed to spamassassin, using my own personal config for bayes rules, then to dovecot-lda, using my user for auth, and finally delivering to a public/* mailbox, with acl rules for access. I'm moving spamassassin to a mimedefang milter, so that's out of the equation; and LDA to LMTP, so the postfix config simply becomes: virtual_transport = lmtp:unix:private/dovecot-lmtp That's much nicer, but I'm not sure how to handle the public mailbox using LMTP. How are people doing this? While Googling I saw a recommendation to create a virtual user for the public mailboxes, and then presumably Postfix would map "info(a)mydomain.com" to "publicuser+info(a)mydomain.com" and I would go from there. But that seems a little weird: I don't want anyone to be able to log in as publicuser, nor to send mail as that user (Postfix uses Dovecot for auth). Yet I don't seem to be able to pass other arguments to lmtp, that might indicate which user to use for auth. Does anyone have a clean solution for this? Thanks in advance, Eric
