Same emails appearing multiple time after upgrade to version 2.33
by Thomas Durand 22 Nov '18

22 Nov '18

Hi, I have update today dovecot and dovecot pigeonhole to the latest version available on my centos 7. It’s a small email servers with postfix/amavisd/clamav/spamasssin. I had dovecot for IMAP/POP3 with spam plugins to store spam message automatically into the spam folder. After the upgrade, I was noticed by some of my users that they have in their message the same message appearing 2,3 even 10 times. I had the same behavior when using roundecube I was able to stop this after removing pigeonhole rpm (removing/disabling the config was not enough). Would appreciate your help to understand what is wrong with my config.

Multi-server but small scale
by Daniel Miller 21 Nov '18

21 Nov '18

I have a small but critical server that supports our group. As a single server - it's obviously a single-point-of-failure for lots of things. As I just experienced...again. It was a lot more fun building systems from components when I was younger... Previously 3rd-party hosted solutions didn't look attractive for several reasons...but I'm seeing prices now for cloud virtual machines that are stupid cheap. Even if they wind up being limited speed & availability - it would seem they'd be a lot better than nothing! So I'm considering having at least one backup server for various services - obviously that includes mail. So now I have to wonder about the backend. And while I think I'm reasonably current with networked file systems (not distributed or cluster) I haven't played with replication for a quite a while. For this particular usage (I'm envisioning two servers total) - is there a need/reason to use any form of networked/distributed/cluster file storage? Or would this be accomplished via "pure" Dovecot - dsync replication would keep things updated between the servers and director would handle the connections? So with identically configured SMTP servers, passing to the local LMTP agents, the file system would be "purely local" with no NFS or other interconnection? -- Daniel

analysing of dmarc report
by Poliman - Serwis 21 Nov '18

21 Nov '18

I have a problem with understanding dmarc reports and some features. I attach two reports. First one come from google.com, second one from tumieszkamy.pl. On my server is dns zone of domain kamir-transport.pl but whole mail service is deployed on Google - in dns zone MX points to Google and there are all mailboxes, aliases etc. Last time I have configured dkim and dmarc policies and I got two reports. Honestly I don't know why two, from two different providers - google.com and tumieszkamy.pl. Moreover in report originating from google I see IP of my server [which fails spf and dkim policies] and I don't understand why this IP is evaluated? Second thing which I don't understand is second report which I got from tumieszkamy.pl. SPF record in dns zone of domain kamir-transport.pl was looking like below (now I changed it to slightly different): *v=spf1 mx include:_spf.google.com <http://spf.google.com> -all* Does anybody could help uderstand these things? -- *Pozdrawiam / Best Regards* *Piotr Bracha*

Quota in MySql Dict not recalculate automatic
by SUnsin＠gv-bayern.de 20 Nov '18

20 Nov '18

Hi, I have a working Installation with: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Dovecot 2.2.22 MySql 5.7.24 Postfixadmin 3.2 Apache 2.4.18 Rainloop 1.12.1 I manage the E-Mail Accounts with postfixadmin in a MySql-DB. Also I use quotas with Quota Backend postfixadmin-DB (dict). Everything works fine. Now I installed a new Server with the following Versions and migrate the Configs to the new System. Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Doveot 2.2.33 MySQL 5.7.24 Postfixadmin 3.2 Apache 2.4.18 Rainloop 1.12.1 The Problem is now: When I receive a E-Mail, the quota will not Update (recalculate) automatical in the MySql-DB from Dovecot. In the old System there execute the SQL Statement after receiving a E-Mail, for example: UPDATE quota2 SET bytes=bytes+3076,messages=messages+1 WHERE username = <E-Mail Address> On the new System with the newer Dovecot Version, the Statement never comes after receive an E-Mail. With Dovecot Version 2.3 on the old System with Ubuntu 16.04, everything works fine with the same config. Is a BUG in the Dovecot Version 2.2.33 possible? Can everbody help me?

Update virtual folders via doveadm?
by Daniel Miller 20 Nov '18

20 Nov '18

I'm trying to have my server maintain it's FTS indexes reasonably current at all times. From prior threads, and based on my namespace configuration, I have the following hourly cronjob: doveadm index -A -q '*' doveadm index -A -q 'shared/*' doveadm index -A -q 'virtual/*' This seems to work just fine to maintain the FTS (Solr). However - as I understand it Dovecot's virtual folders are not updated with new mails until they are accessed by a client. Therefore the above command sequence would work fine for my default namespace and the shared - but the virtual namespace won't actually be current. So... Would a command such as: doveadm mailbox status -A messages virtual/* Be appropriate to run prior to the virtual/* FTS indexing? -- Daniel

IMAP Limitations with Outlook 2013?
by Robert Adkins 19 Nov '18

19 Nov '18

Good Day! I have a fairly new user on my network that has, over about 10 months, created in root inbox and nested sub-folders totaling over 900 individual folders. In the past few weeks, newly created folders will be visible in Outlook 2013, but when an email is moved into that folder, it is no longer visible. I can ssh into the server, drill down to that sub-folder and see the email in the folder AND it is also available to be seen without issue in Thunderbird. I know this is a longshot, but if there is some feature that I haven't found in Dovecot to force Outlook to synchronize with all the folders/sub-folders, please let me know. Beyond that. With this particular users habits, over the next 5 years, there could be nearly 10,000 folders/sub-folders. Does anyone know if this will create any problems with Dovecot or is this JUST a Microsoft software problem? -- Best Regards, Robert Adkins IT Manager/Tool Designer Impel Industries, Inc. 586-254-5800

macOS Mojave: setgroups(501) failed: Too many extra groups
by Heiko W. Rupp 18 Nov '18

18 Nov '18

Hello, I have recently upgraded to macOS 10.14 (Mojave) and am running into an issue where one use can no longer log into dovecot via imap. Log shows Oct 11 08:10:27 imap(hwr)<12659><YpC/0+133+EAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB>: Fatal: setgroups(501) failed: Too many extra groups and indeed, the user is in 17 groups, which is more than NGROUPS_MAX (16). Another user with << 16 groups can log in fine. Unfortunately it is not (easily) doable to reduce the number of groups, as macOS seems to set them internally. Is there a config option that I am missing to work around this? Looking at the source, I see this is handled in src/lib/restrict-access.c::fix_groups_list(), where above the call to setgroups() a gid_list2 is constructed. I wonder if one could have a config option to prevent adding all those extra groups, which then make the call to setgroups() fail Any help appreciated Heiko -- hwr(a)pilhuhn.de m:0179/207 4919 b:http://pilhuhn.blogspot.com

Re: Issue sharing folders with Thunderbird

Hi Aki I see what you are saying, and no I don’t believe so. I’m using typical /etc/passwd for the user db. I reviewed https://wiki.dovecot.org/UserDatabase/ExtraFields <https://wiki.dovecot.org/UserDatabase/ExtraFields> but I’m not clear on how to actually return system_user userdb attribute. I also have set mail_user_groups = sharedusers in dovecot.conf and then in /etc/group put all the users with mailboxes into the sharedusers group. I can see why that wouldn’t work if the above is not set. Can you point me in the right direction on how to pass that information?

Mail slowed down to a crawl...
by StarionTech (IMAP) 16 Nov '18

16 Nov '18

Been moving along just fine for a couple years now, then in the last two days, email has slowed to a crawl. Retrieving email via IMAP is very slow, progress bar in the mail client shows that it is downloading messages almost constantly, like it never closes the connection, or it’s getting the messages very slowly. The server that dovecot/postfix is on has also bogged down to a crawl. The postfix queue is sitting with hundreds of queued up good customer email. It’s almost acting like dovecot is not getting the messages from postfix, or they’re being delayed for some reason. How to approach fixing this? Jeff J.

dovecot 2.2/openssl 1.0 vs dovecot 2.3/openssl 1.1.1 ssl regression
by Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz 15 Nov '18

15 Nov '18

Hi. I'm considering dovecot migration from 2.2.36 run with openssl 1.0.2o to dovecot 2.3.3 run with openssl 1.1.1. Currently I have both variants running with identical configs and certs (the only differences are due to config syntax changes in dovecot 2.3), so for example on both I have: ssl_ca = </etc/openssl/certs/wildcard_ca.pem (this file contains single intermediate certificate of my CA) ssl_cert = </etc/openssl/certs/wildcard_crt.pem (this contains single cerificate for my *.example.com domain) ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it (and one key) No alt certs in use. Chain is: - CA trusted by clients (this certificate isn't provided by my dovecot, it's not needed) - wildcard_ca.pem - intermediate CA - wildcard_crt.pem - wildcard certificate for my *.example.com domain dovecot 2.2.36 behaviour is to provide wildcard_ca.pem and wildcard_crt.pem to the client - that behaviour is OK. Client has full trust chain. dovecot 2.3.3 provides only wildcard_crt.pem certificate to the client which is a big problem because missing wildcard_ca.pem (intermediate certificate) breaks chain and client is not able to verify trust chain. Testing is done with simple: openssl s_client -connect my.example.com:143 -starttls imap -servername my.example.com -showcerts 2.3.x announcements and upgrade wiki mention no such behaviour change, so I assume it is a regression. Now doing cat wildcard_ca.pem >> wildcard_crt.pem solves the problem and dovecot starts providing both certs to clients but if that's the proper way of solving this issue then what's the point of having ssl_ca config setting? Ideas? -- Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz, arekm / ( maven.pl | pld-linux.org )

FETCH BODY vs FETCH BODYSTRUCTURE + FETCH BODY.PEEK
by Alessio Cecchi 15 Nov '18

15 Nov '18

Hello, we are developing a web page, for a ticket system, to show the email messages ordered by the biggest attachments size present in an IMAP folder, with a pagination of 100 messages per page. Each raw represents a message with "DATE, FROM, SUBJECT, the preview (the first 500 chars of the text/html of the messsage) and the list of the attachments (name + size) it contains. The problem is that the page load is VERY slow because we fetch the entire BODY of all 100 messages, in order to get the preview and the attachments name and size. Now, considering that each messages can contain up to 50 MB of attachments, we risk to download 5000MB from IMAP for every page. An option might be to perform two FETCH for each message: - one fetch with just the BODYSTRUCTURE (where we can get the attachments name and size and the text/html parts). - one fetch with the body parts (BODY.PEEK[]) we need to build the preview (text + html). We are wondering if there is a single FETCH command to get the text and html parts (needed to build the preview) with only the name and the size of the attachments without downloading the entire message. Thanks. -- Alessio Cecchi Postmaster @ http://www.qboxmail.it https://www.linkedin.com/in/alessice

Dovecot proxy: per user/domain 'namespace/inbox/prefix' from MySQL
by Adi Pircalabu 15 Nov '18

15 Nov '18

As a way to try and avoid using "prefix = INBOX." ad infinitum for the inbox namespace, I'm looking for ways to move on to "prefix =" for new mail accounts, and grandfather the existing ones. Previously running Courier-IMAP, now Dovecot, I looked at https://wiki.dovecot.org/Namespaces#Backwards_Compatibility:_Courier_IMAP and decided it's too risky to go down that path and use namespace compat, with so many IMAP clients out there the scope of testing is huge and the outcome is uncertain and not worth it. After reading https://wiki.dovecot.org/Namespaces#Per-user_Namespace_Location_From_SQL I thought I might be able to overwrite the server configuration per user returning 'namespace/inbox/prefix' value from SQL. Here's the setup I attempted, briefly: 1. Client connects to the Dovecot proxy, which authenticates the user and proxies to the backend using a query like this in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/dovecot-sql.conf.ext: driver = mysql connect = <connection_string> password_query = SELECT NULL AS password, 'Y' as nopassword, host, 'any-cert' as 'starttls', 'Y' AS proxy FROM mailbox WHERE email = '%u' AND disabled_smtpauth=0 Works a treat. 2. Next, I'm trying to add the prefix lookup in the picture. In the same file I've added: user_query = SELECT ns_inbox_prefix AS 'namespace/inbox/prefix' FROM mailbox WHERE email = '%u' AND disabled_smtpauth=0 3. The mailbox table schema reads: CREATE TABLE `mailbox` ( `id` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `email` varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT '', `password` varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT '', `clear_password` varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT '', `name` varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT '', `host` varchar(32) DEFAULT NULL, `port` varchar(32) DEFAULT NULL, `ns_inbox_prefix` varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT '', `lastlog_remote_ips` bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT 0, `curlog_remote_ips` bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT 0, `disabled_smtpauth` tinyint(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT 0, `last_modified` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT current_timestamp() ON UPDATE current_timestamp(), PRIMARY KEY (`id`), UNIQUE KEY `email` (`email`) ) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=1 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1; The 2 queries above return: MariaDB [postfix]> SELECT NULL AS password, 'Y' as nopassword, host, 'any-cert' as 'starttls', 'Y' AS proxy FROM mailbox WHERE email = 'adi2(a)0aditest.local' AND disabled_smtpauth=0; +----------+------------+----------------+----------+-------+ | password | nopassword | host | starttls | proxy | +----------+------------+----------------+----------+-------+ | NULL | Y | 192.168.123.24 | any-cert | Y | +----------+------------+----------------+----------+-------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) MariaDB [postfix]> SELECT ns_inbox_prefix AS 'namespace/inbox/prefix' FROM mailbox WHERE email = 'adi2(a)0aditest.local' AND disabled_smtpauth=0; +------------------------+ | namespace/inbox/prefix | +------------------------+ | | +------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) After reloading dovecot service with auth_debug = yes are the maillog for an IMAP session: Nov 15 12:43:48 proxy1 dovecot: auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth Nov 15 12:43:48 proxy1 dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/lib20_auth_var_expand_crypt.so Nov 15 12:43:48 proxy1 dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libdriver_mysql.so Nov 15 12:43:48 proxy1 dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libdriver_sqlite.so Nov 15 12:43:48 proxy1 dovecot: auth: Debug: Read auth token secret from /var/run/dovecot/auth-token-secret.dat Nov 15 12:43:48 proxy1 dovecot: auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=7527) Nov 15 12:43:53 proxy1 dovecot: auth: Debug: client in: AUTH#0111#011PLAIN#011service=imap#011secured#011session=AorrLqp6drgAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB#011lip=::1#011rip=::1#011lport=1143#011rport=47222#011resp=<hidden> Nov 15 12:43:53 proxy1 dovecot: auth: Debug: sql(adi2@0aditest.local,::1,<AorrLqp6drgAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB>): cache miss Nov 15 12:43:53 proxy1 dovecot: auth-worker(7533): Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth Nov 15 12:43:53 proxy1 dovecot: auth-worker(7533): Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/lib20_auth_var_expand_crypt.so Nov 15 12:43:53 proxy1 dovecot: auth-worker(7533): Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libdriver_mysql.so Nov 15 12:43:53 proxy1 dovecot: auth-worker(7533): Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libdriver_sqlite.so Nov 15 12:43:53 proxy1 dovecot: auth-worker(7533): Debug: sql(adi2@0aditest.local,::1,<AorrLqp6drgAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB>): query: SELECT NULL AS password, 'Y' as nopassword, host, 'any-cert' as 'starttls', 'Y' AS proxy FROM mailbox WHERE email = 'adi2(a)0aditest.local' AND disabled_smtpauth=0 Nov 15 12:43:53 proxy1 dovecot: auth: Debug: client passdb out: OK#0111#011user=adi2@0aditest.local#011host=192.168.123.24#011starttls=any-cert#011proxy#011pass=<hidden> Nov 15 12:43:53 proxy1 dovecot: imap-login: Invalid certificate: [...] Nov 15 12:43:53 proxy1 dovecot: imap-login: Invalid certificate: [...] Nov 15 12:43:53 proxy1 dovecot: imap-login: Invalid certificate: [...] Nov 15 12:43:53 proxy1 dovecot: imap-login: Invalid certificate: [...] Nov 15 12:43:53 proxy1 dovecot: imap-login: Invalid certificate: [...] Nov 15 12:43:53 proxy1 dovecot: imap-login: proxy(adi2(a)0aditest.local): started proxying to 192.168.123.24:143: user=<adi2(a)0aditest.local>, method=PLAIN, rip=::1, lip=::1, secured, session=<AorrLqp6drgAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB> Looks like user_query isn't executed, why?

execute sieve command - fails to notice script has exited
by Lionel Elie Mamane 13 Nov '18

13 Nov '18

Hi, Running dovecot 2.2.27 (c0f36b0) on Debian GNU/Linux stable (version 9.6), I'm trying to use the execute command in a sieve script, with direct execution (not service socket).

Proxy + 2x static passdb not working as expected
by Michael Goth 13 Nov '18

13 Nov '18

Hi all, I'm trying to setup a Dovecot proxy that authenticates the user against two backend servers. If login server1 fails, server2 should be tried. The problem: Only the first server seems to be tried, even if the login fails. Config snippet: protocol imap { passdb { driver = static args = proxy=y nopassword=y host=oldserver1.example.com port=993 ssl=y } passdb { driver = static args = proxy=y nopassword=y host=oldserver2.example.com port=993 ssl=y } } With this config, only accounts on oldserver1.example.com can login. If I reverse the two passdb entries, only accounts on oldserver2.example.com can login. I've done the same with SQL passdb first + static passdb second. That worked as expected. Not sure what I'm doing wrong here. Attached is the output of doveconf -n Thanks Michael Mit freundlichen Grüßen -- Michael Goth .webflow GmbH Geschäftsführer: Andreas Schrei Wasserburger Straße 4 D - 83352 Altenmarkt a. d.

dsync / doveadm sync problem
by admin＠awib.it 13 Nov '18

13 Nov '18

Hi, I had an old dovecot server with a working backup script. Basic concept was: - to dsync to a temp folder - using tar to preserve datetime - piping this 7z to benefit from my 16 core cpu - piping this through openssl to encrypt Over time the size of all my mail grew from 3GB to about 70GB. I used to keep the last 14 backups, but this uses a lot of space. I now want to dsync my Maildir onto my NAS via NFS and use the backup tool provided by Synology to have incremental compressed backup. However I cannot get dsync to run. root@mail:/mnt/backup_mail# dsync -f -u USER@DOMAIN backup maildir:/mnt/backup_mail/MAILSERVER_FQDN/DOMAIN/USER/mail dsync(USER@DOMAIN): Error: User initialization failed: Namespace '': stat(/mnt/backup_mail/MAILSERVER_FQDN/DOMAIN/USER/mail) failed: Permission denied (euid=1001(vmail) egid=1001(vmail) missing +x perm: /mnt/backup_mail, UNIX perms appear ok (ACL/MAC wrong?)) root@mail:/mnt/backup_mail# dsync -u USER@DOMAIN backup maildir:/mnt/backup_mail/MAILSERVER_FQDN/DOMAIN/USER/mail dsync(USER@DOMAIN): Error: User initialization failed: Namespace '': stat(/mnt/backup_mail/MAILSERVER_FQDN/DOMAIN/USER/mail) failed: Permission denied (euid=1001(vmail) egid=1001(vmail) missing +x perm: /mnt/backup_mail, dir owner missing perms) ——— Error message changed after removing „-f“. I then applied the folder permissions (chmod +x backup_mail/) and I get a different error: root@mail:/mnt/backup_mail# dsync -f -u USER@DOMAIN backup maildir:/mnt/backup_mail/MAILSERVER_FQDN/DOMAIN/USER/mail dsync(USER@DOMAIN): Error: User initialization failed: namespace configuration error: All list=yes namespaces must use the same separator I found something about the namespace issue, but did not quite understand I guess. (separators seem to differ) From doveconf -n: [...] namespace { list = children location = maildir:/var/vmail/mailboxes/%%d/%%n/Maildir:INDEXPVT=~/Maildir/shared/%%u prefix = shared/%%u/ separator = / subscriptions = yes type = shared } namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { auto = subscribe special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Sent { auto = subscribe special_use = \Sent } mailbox Spam { auto = subscribe autoexpunge = 30 days special_use = \Junk } mailbox Trash { auto = subscribe autoexpunge = 183 days special_use = \Trash } prefix = } […] ——— However I only set up the namespace for inbox. root@mail:/mnt/backup_mail# doveconf namespace gives namespace { disabled = no hidden = no ignore_on_failure = no inbox = no list = children location = maildir:/var/vmail/mailboxes/%%d/%%n/Maildir:INDEXPVT=~/Maildir/shared/%%u order = 0 prefix = shared/%%u/ separator = / subscriptions = yes type = shared } namespace inbox { disabled = no hidden = no ignore_on_failure = no inbox = yes list = yes location = mailbox Drafts { auto = subscribe autoexpunge = 0 autoexpunge_max_mails = 0 comment = driver = special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Sent { auto = subscribe autoexpunge = 0 autoexpunge_max_mails = 0 comment = driver = special_use = \Sent } mailbox Spam { auto = subscribe autoexpunge = 60 days autoexpunge_max_mails = 0 comment = driver = special_use = \Junk } mailbox Trash { auto = subscribe autoexpunge = 60 days autoexpunge_max_mails = 0 comment = driver = special_use = \Trash } order = 0 prefix = separator = subscriptions = yes type = private } I guess here we see the config including defaults. Well… I think I only need the inbox namespace either way, so I tried: root@mail:/mnt/backup_mail# dsync -f -u USER@DOMAIN backup maildir:/mnt/backup_mail/MAILSERVER_FQDN/DOMAIN/USER/mail/ -n inbox dsync-local(USER@DOMAIN): Error: read(remote) failed: EOF (version not received) doveadm(USER@DOMAIN): Fatal: execvp(maildir:/mnt/backup_mail/MAILSERVER_FQDN/DOMAIN/USER/mail/) failed: No such file or directory dsync-local(USER@DOMAIN): Error: Remote command process isn't dying, killing it dsync-local(USER@DOMAIN): Error: kill(15306, SIGKILL) failed: Operation not permitted The folder (mnt/backup_mail/MAILSERVER_FQDN/DOMAIN/USER/mail) however does exist. Can anybody tell me if there is something I miss? Thanks in advance! -M

I lost the whole maildir from my server fro 3 users. They all have iPhones with all the messages safely stored on the Apple Mail app on their phone. There is no way to export them/move them. Is there a way to get Dovecot to just download all the messages and folder structure from the client and restore it on the server? Your help is very very much appreciated. Thanks, ttyllc

Seen-Flag and Virtual
by Dieter Knopf 12 Nov '18

12 Nov '18

Hello, We have a very large folder structure (in a public namespace) on our Dovecot server and would now like to create a virtual folder containing all mails of the publick namespace. This worked quite well with dovecot-virtual, but the read status (\seen) is not preserved. i.e. when I read a mail inside the virtual folder, the read status does not affect the original mail. Dovecut was configured with per-user \seen-flag. Is it possible to synchronize the \seen-flag somehow? Thanks Dieter

moving only new mails from one server to another
by Nicolas 12 Nov '18

12 Nov '18

Hello, I think it is not really the right place to post about that, but lot of dovecot experts there ;) Basically, I have a server with dovecot 2.2.9 that has new (unread) mails (because of a bad DNS config at a migration time). Is there an easy way to move only these unread mails to a another server ? (no perms trouble here : all vmail:vmail) Though to iterate through all /var/vmail/*/*/Maildir/new and scp/rsync them. Would that work ? Thanks in advance for your time. Nicolas

This is still happening after a reboot, Fedora 28. Restarting dovecot fixes the problem.

Hi, is it, somehow, possible to distinguish between multiple simultaneous logins in MailLog plugin? For example, which login deleted which message. Is that p[lugin able to log e.g. session ID? azur

Dovecot mail-crypt plugin
by Anushka Uditha Bandara 07 Nov '18

07 Nov '18

I configured an email solution using dovecot and postfix and it is working fine. Now I am working for mail encryption. Is it enough to set below configurations on dovecot for mail encryption. Because dovecot wiki is little bit confusing to me. "mail_plugins = $mail_plugins mail_crypt mail_attribute_dict = file:%h/Maildir/dovecot-attributes plugin { mail_crypt_curve = <some curve you like> mail_crypt_save_version = 2 }" I am stuck in here. Thank you in advance, Anushka Bandara

LMTP with many aliases and replication
by Sean Greenslade 07 Nov '18

07 Nov '18

Hi, all. I'm currently in the process of rethinking / tinkering with my personal mail server. I've hit a few stumbling blocks that make me think I may be approaching this problem from the wrong angle. I have a large number of email addresses across several domains that all alias to the same inbox. In my current setup, postfix handles the aliases and dumps them all into a single "receiving" maildir, which gets processed by a custom python script to sort into one of several destination maildirs handled by dovecot. In evaluating this system, I'd like to move to using sieve for this sorting step, so (according to the docs) I need to use LMTP. This is my first stumble. Since I use so many aliases, my IMAP login username is not my email address. In fact, I have several IMAP usernames with different passwords pointing to the same maildir so that my phone can use a different password than my PC. The dovecot documentation was not very clear on how to make LMTP use a different userdb. I eventually found through some trial and error and some hints from other list threads that I could wrap a second userdb {} section with a protocol lmtp {} section, which seems to do the trick. I'd like to edit the wiki to include this helpful tidbit, but I find it odd that this isn't mentioned anywhere in the documentation for LMTP. Is it actually an intended feature? My second stumble is with the replicator plugin. I'd like to run two identical dovecot servers that replicate their mailboxes across each other. Since there are a large number of alias "accounts" that all feed into one IMAP account, the logical place to put the replication would be the IMAP account. But the way the replicator plugin seems to work, the trigger for synchronous replication on mail receipt fires on the LMTP "account" that received that particular message. Is there any way within dovecot to specify a different replication account to be triggered for sync? Like a userdb extra field or something? I'm trying to avoid needing external scripts if at all possible. I'm interested to hear people's thought / suggestions, especially if anyone has a better way of architecting this system. In case it's relevant, I'm running Arch Linux / Dovecot 2.3.3. Thanks, --Sean
