Dovecot lifecycle announcement
by Aki Tuomi 12 May '25

12 May '25

We are announcing these Dovecot end-of-life (EOL) decisions: 1. All Dovecot versions before 2.3 are now fully EOL. We will not provide any additional patches, including security issues, for these releases. 2. For Dovecot CE 2.3 we will provide critical security bug fixes. Thus, if you are experiencing a non-security issue with Dovecot, we need you to upgrade into latest 2.4 CE release and reproduce the problem there in order for the team to debug. The Dovecot team will no longer debug non-security related issues for 2.3 releases. If the issue can occur with the latest 2.4 release, please file a bug report and we will take a look! If you are using a 2.3.x version packaged from an Operating System Vendor, please open a bug against them for fixing it. We do not provide patches or bug fixes against these OS Vendor specific releases. Dovecot CE 2.4.x is the current main release, which will continue to receive feature, bug and security patches. We accept bug reports against latest 2.4 version or "main" branch of Dovecot. Packages for Dovecot CE 2.4 can be found at https://repo.dovecot.org. Thank you for using Dovecot! Note: Users with a commercial agreement with Open-Xchange (Dovecot Pro) have a separate extended EOL policy, so this announcement does not apply to them. Regards, Aki Tuomi Open-Xchange oy

CVE-2024-23184: Having a large number of address headers (From, To, Cc, Bcc, etc.) becomes excessively CPU intensive
by Aki Tuomi 14 Aug '24

14 Aug '24

Affected product: Dovecot IMAP Server Internal reference: DOV-6464 Vulnerability type: CWE-770 (Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling) Vulnerable version: 2.2, 2.3 Vulnerable component: lib-mail Report confidence: Confirmed Solution status: Fixed in 2.3.21.1 Researcher credits: Vendor internal discovery Vendor notification: 2024-01-30 CVE reference: CVE-2024-23184 CVSS: 5.0 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:N) Vulnerability Details: Having a large number of address headers (From, To, Cc, Bcc, etc.) becomes excessively CPU intensive. With 100k header lines CPU usage is already 12 seconds, and in a production environment we observed 500k header lines taking 18 minutes to parse. Since this can be triggered by external actors sending emails to a victim, this is a security issue. The main problem is that each header line's address is added to the end of a linked list. This is done by walking the whole linked list, which becomes more inefficient the more addresses there are. Workaround: One can implement restrictions on address headers on MTA component preceding Dovecot. Fix: Install non-vulnerable version of Dovecot. Patch can be found at https://github.com/dovecot/core/compare/8e4c42d%5E...1481c04.patch

CVE-2024-23185: Very large headers can cause resource exhaustion when parsing message
by Aki Tuomi 14 Aug '24

14 Aug '24

Affected product: Dovecot IMAP Server Internal reference: DOV-6601 Vulnerability type: CWE-770 (Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling) Vulnerable version: 2.2, 2.3 Vulnerable component: lib-mail Report confidence: Confirmed Solution status: Fixed in 2.3.21.1 Researcher credits: Vendor internal discovery Vendor notification: 2024-01-31 CVE reference: CVE-2024-23185 CVSS: 7.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H) Vulnerability Details: Very large headers can cause resource exhaustion when parsing message. The message-parser normally reads reasonably sized chunks of the message. However, when it feeds them to message-header-parser, it starts building up "full_value" buffer out of the smaller chunks. The full_value buffer has no size limit, so large headers can cause large memory usage. It doesn't matter whether it's a single long header line, or a single header split into multiple lines. This bug exists in all Dovecot versions. Incoming mails typically have some size limits set by MTA, so even largest possible header size may still fit into Dovecot's vsz_limit. So attackers probably can't DoS a victim user this way. A user could APPEND larger mails though, allowing them to DoS themselves (although maybe cause some memory issues for the backend in general). Workaround: One can implement restrictions on headers on MTA component preceding Dovecot. Fix: Install non-vulnerable version of Dovecot. Patch can be found at https://github.com/dovecot/core/compare/f020e13%5E...ce88c33.patch

Hi all, we are releasing a CVE patch release 2.3.21.1. https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.21.1.tar.gz https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.21.1.tar.gz.sig Binary packages in https://repo.dovecot.org/ Docker images in https://hub.docker.com/r/dovecot/dovecot Kind regards, Aki Tuomi Open-Xchange oy --- - CVE-2024-23184: A large number of address headers in email resulted in excessive CPU usage. - CVE-2024-23185: Abnormally large email headers are now truncated or discarded, with a limit of 10MB on a single header and 50MB for all the headers of all the parts of an email. - oauth2: Dovecot would send client_id and client_secret as POST parameters to introspection server. These need to be optionally in Basic auth instead as required by OIDC specification. - oauth2: JWT key type check was too strict. - oauth2: JWT token audience was not validated against client_id as required by OIDC specification. - oauth2: XOAUTH2 and OAUTHBEARER mechanisms were not giving out protocol specific error message on all errors. This broke OIDC discovery. - oauth2: JWT aud validation was not performed if aud was missing from token, but was configured on Dovecot.

Hi all! We are pleased to release v0.5.21 of Pigeonhole. https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3-pigeonhole-0.5.21.t… https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3-pigeonhole-0.5.21.t… Binary packages in https://repo.dovecot.org/ Docker images in https://hub.docker.com/r/dovecot/dovecot Regards, Aki Tuomi Open-Xchange oy --- - sieve: Using the deleteheader action on a message with a broken/invalid header can cause the Sieve interpreter to crash with an assert panic. This can happen e.g. when the message is missing the empty EOH line between the headers and the body of the message. Fixes: Panic: file edit-mail.c: line 820 (edit_mail_headers_parse): assertion failed: (body_offset > 0). - sieve: Pigeonhole added an extra Message-ID header during mail forwarding when the existing one was invalid. Now it adds the Message-ID only if it is entirely missing. Existing Message-ID(s) are left unchanged.

Dovecot v2.3.21 released

Hi all! We are pleased to release v2.3.21 of Dovecot. https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.21.tar.gz https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.21.tar.gz.sig Binary packages in https://repo.dovecot.org/ Docker images in https://hub.docker.com/r/dovecot/dovecot Regards, Aki Tuomi Open-Xchange oy --- * lib-oauth2: Allow JWT tokens to be validated with missing typ field. The typ field is left out by some key issuers to conserve space, notably kubernetes. Now missing typ is tolerated, but if present, it still must be "jwt". + auth: Auth passdb and userdb reply can contain "event_<name>=value" which will be added to login event and mail user event respectively. + lib-master: Set process title during various initialization stages to clearly describe what the process is waiting on. + lib-storage: The mail_temp_scan_interval is now fuzzed incrementing it by 0..30% based on username's hash to reduce the chance of load spikes . + lib-storage: The temp file scan has been moved from the open of the mailbox to the close, to reduce the latency perceived by users. + stats: If metric has fields specified, all these fields are exported as counters to prometheus exposition. See https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/stats/openmetrics/. - *-login: Processes might have crashed when a SSL connection disconnect s uncleanly. - acl: When plugin was loaded \HasChildren and \HasNoChildren flags were calculated incorrectly for mailboxes containing '*' and '%' in their names. - auth: Crash occured if a connection to PostgreSQL database server failed during startup. - auth: Logins with invalid passwords (e.g. unknown scheme) in passdb were failing with "password mismatch" instead of "internal error". - auth: XOAUTH2 and OAUTHBEARER mechanisms were not giving out protocol specific error message on all errors. This especially broke OIDC discovery. - dbox: When last_temp_file_scan header wasn't set (especially after dsync migration), the next mailbox open always triggers the temp file scan. This could have caused a load spike after migrations. Fixed by using the mailbox directory's atime when the header isn't set, which usually moves the scan time into the future. - dict-redis: A crash would occur on transaction rollback. - dsync: Infinite loop causing out of memory would occur when handling mailbox deletion from remote end and hierarchy separators would differ. - dsync: Incremental dsync failed for folder names ending with '%', unless BROKENCHAR was set. Also folder names with '%' elsewhere in them caused each incremental dsync to unnecessarily rename the folder to a temporary name and back. v2.3.19 regression. - imap-hibernate: If an IMAP client unhibernation timed out with "(version received)", the unhibernation could still have successfully finished later on and continued working normally. This was rather confusing, because imap-hibernate already logged that the client got disconnected. Avoid this by forcing the connection to shutdown on unhibernation timeout. - imapc: Crashed when a folder mapped through the virtual plugin disappears from the storage. - imapc: EXPUNGE, EXISTS or FETCH replies from a server for a previously selected mailbox could have been processed as if they belonged to the new mailbox currently being selected. This could have caused warnings. - lib-http: Dovecot HTTP server (doveadm, stats/openmetrics) may have disconnected HTTP clients before the response is fully sent. This happened only on busy servers where kernel's socket buffers were rather full. - lib-http: Fixed a potential crash on http-server if a client disconnected early. v2.3.18 regression. - lib-index: Index file corruption could have caused a crash. Fixes: Panic: file mail-transaction-log-view.c: line 165 (mail_transaction_log_view_set): assertion failed: (min_file_seq <= max_file_seq). - lib-index: Purging an existing >1GB cache file can crash. Now cache files still above 1GB after purging are removed. Fixes: Panic: file mail-index-util.c: line 10 (mail_index_uint32_to_offset): assertion failed: (offset < 0x40000000) - lib-lua: A HTTP client could not resolve DNS names in mail processes, because it expected "the dns-client" socket to exist in the current directory. - lib-oauth2: Dovecot would send client_id and client_secret as POST parameters to the introspection server. These need to be optionally in Basic auth instead. - lib-oauth2: JWT aud validation was not performed if aud was missing from a token, but was configured on Dovecot. - lib-oauth2: JWT key type check was too strict. - lib-oauth2: JWT token audience was not validated against client_id as required by the specification. - lib-ssl-iostream: Using the ssl_require_crl=yes setting may have caused CRL check failures for outgoing SSL/TLS connections, although it was supposed to affect checking CRLs only for client-side SSL certificates. v2.3.17 regression. - lib-sql: MySQL driver leaked memory when connection failed. - lib-storage: Various fixes when running into out of disk space. - master: Service idle_kill setting didn't work properly on busy servers. It was very unlikely that any process was idling long enough to become killed. Also the idle_kill handling code was using quite a lot of CPU on the master process when there were a lot of processes (e.g. imap). The new behavior is to track the lowest number of idling processes every idle_kill time interval and then kill that many idling processes. - mdbox: Temp file scan was done for always empty directories. - mdbox: The fdatasync() call was done in wrong parent directory when writing mails. Also on a failure it crashed instead of logging an error. - notify_status: The plugin crashes if any user initialization fails. - pop3: Sending command with the ':' character caused an assert-crash. v2.3.18 regression. Fixes: Panic: event_reason_code_prefix(): name has ':' - stats: Fix panic when a nonexistent event exporter was referenced while adding a new metric dynamically via doveadm stats add. This produces a proper error now. - stats: If process exported a lot of events and then exited, some of the last events may have become lost. - stats: Invalid Prometheus label names were created with specific histogram group_by configurations. Prometheus rejected these labels. - welcome: The plugin didn't execute in some situations that created INBOX but didn't open it, e.g. if GETMETADATA was used before the INBOX was opened.

We are pleased to release v2.3.20 of Dovecot. https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.20.tar.gz https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.20.tar.gz.sig Binary packages in https://repo.dovecot.org/ Docker images in https://hub.docker.com/r/dovecot/dovecot Regards, Aki Tuomi Open-Xchange oy -- + Add dsync_features=no-header-hashes. When this setting is enabled and one dsync side doesn't support mail GUIDs (i.e. imapc), there is no fallback to using header hashes. Instead, dsync assumes that all mails with identical IMAP UIDs contains the same mail contents. This can significantly improve dsync performance with some IMAP servers that don't support caching Date/Message-ID headers. + lua: HTTP client has more settings now, see https://doc.dovecot.org/admin_manual/lua/#dovecot.http.client + replicator: "doveadm replicator status" command now outputs when the next sync is expected for the user. - LAYOUT=index: duplicate GUIDs were not cleaned out. Also the list recovery was not optimal. - auth: Assert crash would occur when iterating multiple userdb backends. - director: Logging into director using master user with auth_master_user_separator character redirected user to a wrong backend, unless master_user_separator setting was also set to the same value. Merged these into auth_master_user_separator. - dsync: Couldn't always fix folder GUID conflicts automatically with Maildir format. This resulted in replication repeatedly failing with "Remote lost mailbox GUID". - dsync: Failed to migrate INBOX when using namespace prefix=INBOX/, resulting in "Remote lost mailbox GUID" errors. - dsync: INBOX was created too early with namespace prefix=INBOX/, resulting a GUID conflict. This may have been resolved automatically, but not always. - dsync: v2.3.18 regression: Wrong imapc password with dsync caused Panic: file lib-event.c: line 506 (event_pop_global): assertion failed: (event == current_global_event) - imapc: Requesting STATUS for a mailbox with imapc and INDEXPVT configured did not return correct (private) unseen counts. - lib-dict: Process would crash when committing data to redis without dict proxy. - lib-mail: Corrupted cached BODYSTRUCTURE caused panic during FETCH. Fixes: Panic: file message-part-data.c: line 579 (message_part_is_attachment): assertion failed: (data != NULL). v2.3.13 regression. - lib-storage: mail_attribute_dict with dict-sql failed when it tried to lookup empty dict keys. - lib: ioloop-kqueue was missing include breaking some BSD builds. - lua-http: Dovecot Lua HTTP client could not resolve DNS names in mail processes, because it expected "dns-client" socket to exist in the current directory. - oauth2: Using %{oauth2:name} variables could cause useless introspections. - pop3: Sending POP3 command with ':' character caused an assert-crash. v2.3.18 regression. - replicator: Replication queue had various issues, potentially causing replication requests to become stuck. - stats: Invalid Prometheus label names were created with specific

Affected product: Dovecot IMAP Server Internal reference: DOV-5320 Vulnerability type: Improper Access Control (CWE-284) Vulnerable version: 2.2 Vulnerable component: submission Report confidence: Confirmed Solution status: Fixed in main Researcher credits: Julian Brook (julezman) Vendor notification: 2022-05-06 CVE reference: CVE-2022-30550 CVSS: 6.8 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N) Vulnerability Details: When two passdb configuration entries exist in Dovecot configuration, which have the same driver and args settings, the incorrect username_filter and mechanism settings can be applied to passdb definitions. These incorrectly applied settings can lead to an unintended security configuration and can permit privilege escalation with certain configurations involving master user authentication. Dovecot documentation does not advise against the use of passdb definitions which have the same driver and args settings. One such configuration would be where an administrator wishes to use the same pam configuration or passwd file for both normal and master users but use the username_filter setting to restrict which of the users is able to be a master user. Risk: If same passwd file or PAM is used for both normal and master users, it is possible for attacker to become master user. Workaround: Always authenticate master users from different source than regular users, e.g. using a separate passwd file. Alternatively, you can use global ACLs to ensure that only legimate master users have priviledged access. Fix: This has been fixed in main branch.

Pigeonhole v0.5.19 released
by Aki Tuomi 11 May '22

11 May '22

Hi all! We are pleased to release v0.5.19 of Pigeonhole. This release is done to maintain parity with dovecot 2.3.19 release, so it does not contain any news-worthy changes. https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3-pigeonhole-0.5.18.t… https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3-pigeonhole-0.5.18.t… Binary packages in https://repo.dovecot.org/ Docker images in https://hub.docker.com/r/dovecot/dovecot Regards, Aki Tuomi Open-Xchange oy

Dovecot v2.3.19 released
by Aki Tuomi 10 May '22

10 May '22

Hi all! We are pleased to release v2.3.19 of Dovecot. The docker images have been upgraded to use bullseye as base image. https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.19.tar.gz https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.19.tar.gz.sig Binary packages in https://repo.dovecot.org/ Docker images in https://hub.docker.com/r/dovecot/dovecot Regards, Aki Tuomi Open-Xchange oy -- + Added mail_user_session_finished event, which is emitted when the mail user session is finished (e.g. imap, pop3, lmtp). It also includes fields with some process statistics information. See https://doc.dovecot.org/admin_manual/list_of_events/ for more information. + Added process_shutdown_filter setting. When an event matches the filter, the process will be shutdown after the current connection(s) have finished. This is intended to reduce memory usage of long-running imap processes that keep a lot of memory allocated instead of freeing it to the OS. + auth: Add cache hit indicator to auth passdb/userdb finished events. See https://doc.dovecot.org/admin_manual/list_of_events/ for more information. + doveadm deduplicate: Performance is improved significantly. + imapc: COPY commands were sent one mail at a time to the remote IMAP server. Now the copying is buffered, so multiple mails can be copied with a single COPY command. + lib-lua: Add a Lua interface to Dovecot's HTTP client library. See https://doc.dovecot.org/admin_manual/lua/ for more information. - auth: Cache lookup would use incorrect cache key after username change. - auth: Improve handling unexpected LDAP connection errors/hangs. Try to fix up these cases by reconnecting to the LDAP server and aborting LDAP requests earlier. - auth: Process crashed if userdb iteration was attempted while auth-workers were already full handling auth requests. - auth: db-oauth2: Using %{oauth2:name} variables caused unnecessary introspection requests. - dict: Timeouts may have been leaked at deinit. - director: Ring may have become unstable if a backend's tag was changed. It could also have caused director process to crash. - doveadm kick: Numeric parameter was treated as IP address. - doveadm: Proxying can panic when flushing print output. Fixes Panic: file ioloop.c: line 865 (io_loop_destroy): assertion failed: (ioloop == current_ioloop). - doveadm sync: BROKENCHAR was wrongly changed to '_' character when migrating mailboxes. This was set by default to %, so any mailbox names containing % characters were modified to "_25". - imapc: Copying or moving mails with doveadm to an imapc mailbox could have produced "Error: Syncing mailbox '[...]' failed" Errors. The operation itself succeeded but attempting to sync the destination mailbox failed. - imapc: Prevent index log synchronization errors when two or more imapc sessions are adding messages to the same mailbox index files, i.e. INDEX=MEMORY is not used. - indexer: Process was slowly leaking memory for each indexing request. - lib-fts: fts header filters caused binary content to be sent to the indexer with non-default configuration. - doveadm-server: Process could hang in some situations when printing output to TCP client, e.g. when printing doveadm sync state. - lib-index: dovecot.index.log files were often read and parsed entirely, rather than only the parts that were actually necessary. This mainly increased CPU usage. - lmtp-proxy: Session ID forwarding would cause same session IDs being used when delivering same mail to multiple backends. - log: Log prefix update may have been lost if log process was busy. This could have caused log prefixes to be empty or in some cases reused between sessions, i.e. log lines could have been logged for the wrong user/session. - mail_crypt: Plugin crashes if it's loaded only for some users. Fixes Panic: Module context mail_crypt_user_module missing. - mail_crypt: When LMTP was delivering mails to both recipients with mail encryption enabled and not enabled, the non-encrypted recipients may have gotten mails encrypted anyway. This happened when the first recipient was encrypted (mail_crypt_save_version=2) and the 2nd recipient was not encrypted (mail_crypt_save_version=0). - pop3: Session would crash if empty line was sent. - stats: HTTP server leaked memory. - submission-login: Long credentials, such as OAUTH2 tokens, were refused during SASL interactive due to submission server applying line length limits. - submission-login: When proxying to remote host, authentication was not using interactive SASL when logging in using long credentials such as OAUTH2 tokens. This caused authentication to fail due to line length constraints in SMTP protocol. - submission: Terminating the client connection with QUIT command after mail transaction is started with MAIL command and before it is finished with DATA/BDAT can cause a segfault crash. - virtual: doveadm search queries with mailbox-guid as the only parameter crashes: Panic: file virtual-search.c: line 77 (virtual_search_get_records): assertion failed: (result != 0)

Notification about branch and versioning changes
by Aki Tuomi 03 Feb '22

03 Feb '22

Dear subscribers, This year we will be releasing a new Dovecot major release. In preparations for this, we are doing some repository changes, which will affect you if you are using our git repositories. These changes will become effective after 14th of February. Following branch name changes are going to be implemented: - main => this is going to be the main branch in future - master => release-2.3 Note that Dovecot version number on main branch is going to change. The next major CE release will be 2.4.x. The change to a main branch and its version numbering also apply to Pigeonhole. We will also align Pigeonhole release version to match Dovecot, ie. the next major is 2.4.x and not 0.6. We will send more information about the upcoming major release as it progresses. Regards, Aki Tuomi Open-Xchange oy

Pigeonhole v0.5.18 released
by Aki Tuomi 03 Feb '22

03 Feb '22

Hi all! We are pleased to release v0.5.18 of Pigeonhole. Debian/Stretch support has now been dropped. CentOS 8 packages have been replaced with RedHat Enterprise Linux 8 packages. These should be compatible with all the various variants. https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3-pigeonhole-0.5.18.t… https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3-pigeonhole-0.5.18.t… Binary packages in https://repo.dovecot.org/ Docker images in https://hub.docker.com/r/dovecot/dovecot Regards, Aki Tuomi Open-Xchange oy -- - duplicate: Users without a home directory can crash with Sieve when using duplicate database. v2.3.17 regression. - imapsieve: When mail was expunged when processing imapsieve events, a crash could occur. Fixes Panic: file mail-index-map.c: line 558 (mail_index_map_lookup_seq_range): assertion failed: (first_uid > 0) - managesieve-login: Proxy didn't support forwarding the forward_* passdb fields. - redirect: Sieve would crash if redirect after keep-equivalent action failed. - sieve: Interpreter crashes when the Sieve index extension is used with index zero. - vnd.dovecot.filter: Envelope sender string may become corrupted when Sieve scripts are using vnd.dovecot.filter. This could end up corrupting mbox's From line and return wrong envelope sender string in

Hi all! We are pleased to release v2.3.18 of Dovecot. Debian/Stretch support has now been dropped. CentOS 8 packages have been replaced with RedHat Enterprise Linux 8 packages. These should be compatible with all the various variants. https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.18.tar.gz https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.18.tar.gz.sig Binary packages in https://repo.dovecot.org/ Docker images in https://hub.docker.com/r/dovecot/dovecot Regards, Aki Tuomi Open-Xchange oy -- * Removed mail_cache_lookup_finished event. This event wasn't especially useful, but it increased CPU usage significantly. * fts: Don't index inline base64 encoded content in FTS indexes using the generic tokenizer. This reduces the FTS index sizes by removing input that is very unlikely to be searched for. See https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/fts/tokenization for details on how base64 is detected. Only applies when using libfts. * lmtp: Session IDs are now preserved through proxied connections, so LMTP sessions can be tracked. This slightly changes the LMTP session ID format by appending ":Tn" (transaction), ":Pn" (proxy connection) and ":Rn" (recipient) counters after the session ID prefix. + Events now have "reason_code" field, which can provide a list of reasons why the event is happening. See https://doc.dovecot.org/admin_manual/event_reasons/ + New events are added. See https://doc.dovecot.org/admin_manual/list_of_events/ + fts: Added fts_header_excludes and fts_header_includes settings to specify which headers to index. See https://doc.dovecot.org/settings/plugin/fts-plugin#plugin-fts-setting-fts-h… for configuration details. + fts: Initialize the textcat language detection library only once per process. This can reduce CPU usage if fts_languages setting has multiple languages listed and service indexer-worker { service_count } isn't 1. Only applies when using libfts. + lib-storage: Reduced CPU usage significantly for some operations that accessed lots of emails (e.g. fetching all flags in a folder, SORT, ...) + lib: DOVECOT_PREREQ() - Add micro version which enables compiling external plugins against different versions of Dovecot. + lmtp: Added new lmtp_verbose_replies setting that makes errors sent to the LMTP client much more verbose with details about why exactly backend proxy connections or commands are failing. + submission: Support implicit SASL EXTERNAL with submission_client_workarounds=implicit-auth-external. This allows automatically logging in when SSL client certificate is present. - *-login: Statistics were disabled if stats process connection was lost. - auth: Authentication master user login fails with SCRAM-* SASL mechanisms. - auth: With auth_cache_verify_password_with_worker=yes, passdb extra fields in the auth cache got lost. - doveadm: Fixed crash if zlib_save_level setting was specified, but zlib_save was unset. v2.3.15 regression. - doveadm: Proxying can panic when flushing print output. v2.3.17 regression. Fixes: Panic: file ioloop.c: line 865 (io_loop_destroy): assertion failed: (ioloop == current_ioloop) - doveadm: stats add --group-by parameter didn't work. - fts: Using email-address fts tokenizer could result in excessive memory usage with garbage email input. This could cause the indexer-worker processes to fail due to reaching the VSZ memory size limit. Only applies when using libfts. - imap: A SEARCH command timing out while fts returns indexes may timeout returning "NO [SERVERBUG]", while it should return "NO [INUSE]" instead. - imap: LIST-EXTENDED doesn't return STATUS for all folders. Sending LIST .. RETURN (SUBSCRIBED STATUS (...)) did not return STATUS for folders that are not subscribed when they have a child folder that is subscribed as mandated by IMAP RFCs. - imapc: Mailbox vsize calculation crashed with Panic: file index-mailbox-size.c: line 344 (index_mailbox_vsize_hdr_add_missing): assertion failed: (mails_left > 0) - indexer: If indexer-worker crashes, the request it was processing gets stuck in the indexer process. This stops indexing for the folder until indexer process is restarted. v2.3.14 regression. - indexer: Process was slowly leaking memory for each indexing request. - lib-event: Unnamed events were wrongly filtered out for event/metric filters like "event=abc OR something_independent_of_event_name". - lib-index: 64-bit big endian CPUs handle last_used field in dovecot.index.cache wrong. - lib-ssl-iostream: Fix buggy OpenSSL error handling without assert-crashing. If there is no error available, log it as an error instead of crashing. The previous fix for this in v2.3.11 was incomplete. Fixes Panic: file istream-openssl.c: line 51 (i_stream_ssl_read_real): assertion failed: (errno != 0) - lmtp: Out-of-memory issues can happen when proxying large messages to LMTP backend servers that accept the message data too slow. - master: HAProxy header parsing has read buffer overflow if provided header size is invalid. This happens only if inet_listener { haproxy=yes } is configured and only if the remote IP address is in haproxy_trusted_networks. - old_stats: Plugin kept increasing memory usage, which became noticeable with long-running imap sessions. - stats: Dynamically adding same metric multiple times causes multiple stats. - submission-login: Authentication does not accept OAUTH2 token (or other very long credentials) because it considers the line to be too long. - submission-login: Process can crash if HELO is pipelined with an invalid domain. - submission-proxy: Don't use SASL-IR if it would make the AUTH command line longer than 512 bytes. - submission: Service would crash if relay server authentication failed. - virtual: FTS search in a virtual folder could crash if there are duplicate mailbox GUIDs. This mainly happened when user had both INBOX and INBOX/INBOX folders and the namespace prefix was INBOX/. Fixes Panic: file hash.c: line 252 (hash_table_insert_node): assertion failed: (opcode == HASH_TABLE_OP_UPDATE) - virtual: If mailbox opening fails, the backend mailbox is leaked and process crashes when client disconnects. Fixes Panic: file mail-user.c: line 232 (mail_user_deinit): assertion failed: ((*user)->refcount == 1) - virtual: Searching headers in virtual folders didn't always use full-text search indexes, if fts_enforced=no or body.

Pigeonhole v0.5.17 released
by Aki Tuomi 28 Oct '21

28 Oct '21

We are pleased to release first release candidate for v0.5.14. We have done changes to packaging so please give us any feedback on how it works. https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3-pigeonhole-0.5.17.t… https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3-pigeonhole-0.5.17.t… Binary packages in https://repo.dovecot.org/ Docker images in https://hub.docker.com/r/dovecot/dovecot Kind regards, Aki Tuomi Open-Xchange oy --- - duplicate: The Sieve duplicate test is prone to false negatives when the user receives many e-mails concurrently, meaning that duplicate deliveries can still occur. - fileinto: v2.3.16 regression: Sieve delivery crashes if mail is delivered to non-existing and existing folder. - imap-filter-sieve: v2.3.15 regression: The CPU limits on Sieve execution are too easily exceeded in IMAP context (the IMAPSieve and FILTER=SIEVE capabilities). Changed the default to unlimited CPU time for IMAP context, since similar excessive resource usage can be caused by other means as well. The CPU limits on Sieve scripts executed at LDA/LMTP delivery are still enforced by default. - redirect: The Sieve redirect action has protections against users triggering mail loops. Unfortunately, the detection of a redirect mail loop sometimes causes the message to get lost if no other Sieve action is applied that delivers the message somewhere else. - redirect: v2.3.16 regression: With certain Sieve scripts if redirect fails due to temporary failure, the lmtp process may crash after the delivery. Fixes: Panic: file mail-user.c: line 229 (mail_user_deinit): assertion failed: ((*user)->refcount == 1).

Dovecot v2.3.17 released
by Aki Tuomi 28 Oct '21

28 Oct '21

We are pleased to release v2.3.17 of Dovecot. Please note that 2.3.17 release will be the last one to support Debian/Stretch since Bullseye is now supported. https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.17.tar.gz https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.17.tar.gz.sig Binary packages in https://repo.dovecot.org/ Docker images in https://hub.docker.com/r/dovecot/dovecot Regards Aki Tuomi Open-Xchange oy --- * Dovecot now logs a warning if time seems to jump forward at least 100 milliseconds. * dict: Lines logged by the dict process now contain the dict name as the prefix. * lib-index: mail_cache_fields, mail_always_cache_fields and mail_never_cache_fields now verifies that the listed header names are valid. Especially the UTF8 "–" character has sometimes been wrongly used instead of the ASCII "-". + *-login: Added login_proxy_rawlog_dir setting to capture rawlogs between proxy and backend. + dict: The server process now keeps the last 10 idle dict backends cached for maximum of 30 seconds. Practically this acts as a connection pool for dict-redis and dict-ldap. Note that this doesn't affect dict-sql, because it already had its own internal cache. + doveadm: New stats add/remove commands added to support changing the metrics configuration on runtime. + lazy_expunge: Added lazy_expunge_exclude settings to disable lazy_expunge for specific folders. \Special-use flags can be used as folder names. + lib-lua: Added a new helper function dovecot.restrict_global_variables() to disable or enable defining new global variables. - LAYOUT=index List index rebuild was missing. - LAYOUT=index: Duplicate GUIDs were not detected. - acl: When using acl_ignore_namespace Dovecot attempted to access or create dovecot-acl-list even when the namespace should have been ignored. For virtual namespaces this could have yielded errors about "Read-only file system" or "Permission denied". - auth: Setting the "master" passdb field to empty value would cause proxying to fail with an authentication error. Now an empty "master" field is ignored. - doveadm-server: Duplicate error lines were sent for failed commands. This didn't normally cause visible problems, except when using wildcards in usernames or -A parameter to go through multiple users. - doveadm-server: Logs written by doveadm-server were often missing log prefixes, especially mail_log_prefix for mail commands. Logs sent to doveadm TCP client were also missing log prefixes. - doveadm: v2.3 regression: batch command always crashes. - doveadm: v2.3.11 regression: Commands failed if ssl_cert or ssl_key files weren't readable by the user running doveadm, even though doveadm didn't actually use these settings - imap-hibernate: Process may crash at deinit: Panic: file ioloop.c: line 928 (io_loop_destroy): assertion failed: (ioloop->cur_ctx == NULL). - imap: Using imap_fetch_failure=no-after can cause assert-crash with some IMAP commands if reading the mail fails (e.g. wrong cached mail size). Fixes: Panic: file index-mail-headers.c: line 198 (index_mail_parse_header_init): assertion failed: (!mail->data.header_parser_initialized) - imap: v2.3.10 regression: When using INDEXPVT to enable private \Seen flags (for shared or public namespaces) the STORE command did not send untagged replies for the \Seen flag changes. - imap: v2.3.15 regression: If PREVIEW/SNIPPET is not the final FETCH option in the command, the IMAP FETCH response is broken. - imap: v2.3.15 regression: MOVE command leaks mailbox if it can't be opened and crashes at deinit: Panic: file mail-user.c: line 229 (mail_user_deinit): assertion failed: ((*user)->refcount == 1). - imapc: Copying nonexistent mail via imapc could have crashed. Fixes: Panic: file mail-storage.c: line 2385 (mailbox_transaction_commit_get_changes): assertion failed: (ret < 0 || seq_range_count(&changes_r->saved_uids) == save_count || array_count(&changes_r->saved_uids) == 0). - indexer: v2.3.15 regression: Process crashes if indexer-client disconnects while it's waiting for command reply. This happened for example if IMAP SEARCH triggered long fts indexing and the IMAP client disconnected while waiting for the reply. - indexer: v2.3.15 regression: Process may have crashed in some situations. - indexer: v2.3.15 regression: indexer-worker processes may not have reached the process_limit in some situations, possibly even using just one indexer-worker process even though there were many indexing requests queued. - lib-compression: Reading lz4 compressed mdbox mails may crash. Fixes: Panic: file istream.c: line 345 (i_stream_read_memarea): assertion failed: (!stream->blocking). - lib-compression: bench-compress crashes due to xz being read-only. - lib-lua: Fix linking libdict_lua for non-GNU linkers when Lua support is disabled. - lib-mail: There was no limit on how large an email header name could be. Processable header names are now limited to 1000 bytes. - lib-oauth2: Dovecot disallowed JWT tokens if their validity time was older than token creation time (nbf < iat). - lib-storage: Reduce memory footprint of certain storage operations. - lib-storage: When listing mailboxes with storage name escape characters (^ or .) as part of the mailbox name, the listing could show corrupted mailbox names. Due to an issue in handling escaped parent folders, the listing of other mailbox names would become corrupted by prepending parts of the previously listed mailboxes parent folder as prefix to the actual mailbox names. The corruption can occur when using LAYOUT=INDEX and maildir or obox, or when using the listescape plugin. - mail-crypt: Fix "-O" argument for "doveadm mailbox cryptokey password" command to be a boolean, and not expect a string. - submission-login: Add support for not authenticating to next hop in submission proxying. - submission-login: EHLO was not sent again after XCLIENT when doing submission proxying. - virtual: Mailboxes do not correctly detect underlying mailboxes getting re-created even though they have a different UIDVALIDITY or GUID.

Hi, Pigeonhole release for Dovecot v2.3.16. https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3-pigeonhole-0.5.16.t… <https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3-pigeonhole-0.5.16.t…> https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3-pigeonhole-0.5.16.t… <https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3-pigeonhole-0.5.16.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> * .dovecot.sieve.log file now includes year in the header. * Change Sieve script result execution to delay definitive action execution to the end of a successful Sieve script execution session. This is part of an effort to solve problems with the Sieve duplicate test. As a side-effect, some rare temporary-error cases yield different results, in which partial failure is more likely.

v2.3.16 released
by Timo Sirainen 06 Aug '21

06 Aug '21

Hi, One interesting thing in this release is the support for configuring OAUTH2 openid-configuration element. It would be nice if IMAP clients started supporting this feature to enable OAUTH2 for all IMAP servers, not just Gmail and a few others. This would allow all kinds of new authentication methods for IMAP and improve the authentication security in general. https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.16.tar.gz https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.16.tar.gz.sig Binary packages in https://repo.dovecot.org/ Docker images in https://hub.docker.com/r/dovecot/dovecot <https://hub.docker.com/r/dovecot/dovecot> * Any unexpected exit() will now result in a core dump. This can especially help notice problems when a Lua script causes exit(0). * auth-worker process is now restarted when the number of auth requests reaches service auth-worker { service_count }. The default is still unlimited. + Event improvements: Added data_stack_grow event and http-client category. See https://doc.dovecot.org/admin_manual/list_of_events/ + oauth2: Support RFC 7628 openid-configuration element. This allows clients to support OAUTH2 for any server, not just a few hardcoded servers like they do now. See openid_configuration_url setting in dovecot-oauth2.conf.ext. + mysql: Single statements are no longer enclosed with BEGIN/COMMIT. + dovecot-sysreport --core supports multiple core files now and does not require specifying the binary path. + imapc: When imap_acl plugin is loaded and imapc_features=acl is used, IMAP ACL commands are proxied to the remote server. See https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/mail_location/imapc/ + dict-sql now supports the "UPSERT" syntax for SQLite and PostgreSQL. + imap: If IMAP client disconnects during a COPY command, the copying is aborted, and changes are reverted. This may help to avoid many email duplicates if client disconnects during COPY and retries it after reconnecting. - master process was using 100% CPU if service attempted to create more processes due to process_min_avail, but process_limit was already reached. v2.3.15 regression. - Using attachment detection flags wrongly logged unnecessary "Failed to add attachment keywords" errors. v2.3.13 regression. - IMAP QRESYNC: Expunging UID 1 mail resulted in broken VANISHED response, which could have confused IMAP clients. v2.3.13 regression. - imap: STORE didn't send untagged replies for \Seen changes for (shared) mailboxes using INDEXPVT. v2.3.10 regression. - rawlog_dir setting would not log input that was pipelined after authentication command. - Fixed potential infinite looping with autoexpunging. - Log event exporter: Truncate long fields to 1000 bytes - LAYOUT=index: ACL inheritance didn't work when creating mailboxes - Event filters: Unquoted '?' wildcard caused a crash at startup - fs-metawrap: Fix to handling zero sized files - imap-hibernate: Fixed potential crash at deinit. - acl: dovecot-acl-list files were written for acl_ignore_namespaces - program-client (used by Sieve extprograms, director_flush_socket) may have missed status response from UNIX and network sockets, resulting in unexpected failures.

Open-Xchange Security Advisory 2021-06-21 Product: Dovecot Vendor: OX Software GmbH Internal reference: DOV-4476 (Bug ID) Vulnerability type: CWE-24: Path Traversal: '../filedir' Vulnerable version: 2.3.11-2.3.14 Vulnerable component: imap, pop3, submission, managesieve Report confidence: Confirmed Solution status: Fixed by Vendor Fixed version: 2.3.14.1 Vendor notification: 2021-03-22 Solution date: 2021-04-14 Public disclosure: 2021-06-21 CVE reference: CVE-2021-29157 CVSS: 6.7 (CVSS3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N) Researcher credit: Kirin of Tencent Security Xuanwu Lab Vulnerability Details: Dovecot does not correctly escape kid and azp fields in JWT tokens. This may be used to supply attacker controlled keys to validate tokens in some configurations. This requires attacker to be able to write files to local disk. Risk: Local attacker can login as any user and access their emails. Workaround: Disable local JWT validation in oauth2, or use a different dict driver than fs:posix. Solution: Operators should update to 2.3.14.1 or later version.

Dovecot v2.3.14.1 released
by Timo Sirainen 21 Jun '21

21 Jun '21

Hi, This is an "important fixes only" release in case you don't want to upgrade to v2.3.15. There is no matching Pigeonhole release - use the same v2.3.14 instead. https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.14.1.tar.gz <https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.14.1.tar.gz> https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.14.1.tar.gz.sig <https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.14.1.tar.gz.sig> 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-2021-29157: Dovecot does not correctly escape kid and azp fields in JWT tokens. This may be used to supply attacker controlled keys to validate tokens, if attacker has local access. * CVE-2021-33515: On-path attacker could have injected plaintext commands before STARTTLS negotiation that would be executed after STARTTLS finished with the client. - lib-index: Corrupted mime.parts in dovecot.index.cache may have resulted in Panic: file imap-bodystructure.c: line 206 (part_write_body): assertion failed: (text == ((part->flags & MESSAGE_PART_FLAG_TEXT) != 0)) - imap: SETMETADATA could not be used to unset metadata values. Instead NIL was handled as a "NIL" string. v2.3.14 regression.

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.

Dovecot v2.3.15 released
by Timo Sirainen 21 Jun '21

21 Jun '21

Hi, Here's a new release with some security fixes and quite a lot of other changes as well. https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.15.tar.gz <https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.15.tar.gz> https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.15.tar.gz.sig <https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.15.tar.gz.sig> 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-2021-29157: Dovecot does not correctly escape kid and azp fields in JWT tokens. This may be used to supply attacker controlled keys to validate tokens, if attacker has local access. * CVE-2021-33515: On-path attacker could have injected plaintext commands before STARTTLS negotiation that would be executed after STARTTLS finished with the client. * Disconnection log messages are now more standardized across services. They also always now start with "Disconnected" prefix. * Dovecot now depends on libsystemd for systemd integration. * Removed support for Lua 5.2. Use version 5.1 or 5.3 instead. * config: Some settings are now marked as "hidden". It's discouraged to change these settings. They will no longer be visible in doveconf output, except if they have been changed or if doveconf -s parameter is used. See https://doc.dovecot.org/settings/advanced/ <https://doc.dovecot.org/settings/advanced/> for details. * imap-compress: Compression level is now algorithm specific. See https://doc.dovecot.org/settings/plugin/compress-plugin/ <https://doc.dovecot.org/settings/plugin/compress-plugin/> * indexer-worker: Convert "Indexed" info logs to an event named "indexer_worker_indexing_finished". See https://doc.dovecot.org/admin_manual/list_of_events/#indexer-worker-indexin… <https://doc.dovecot.org/admin_manual/list_of_events/#indexer-worker-indexin…> + Add TSLv1.3 support to min_protocols. + Allow configuring ssl_cipher_suites. (for TLSv1.3+) + acl: Add acl_ignore_namespace setting which allows to entirely ignore ACLs for the listed namespaces. + imap: Support official RFC8970 preview/snippet syntax. Old methods of retrieving preview information via IMAP commands ("SNIPPET and PREVIEW with explicit algorithm selection") have been deprecated. + imapc: Support INDEXPVT for imapc storage to enable private message flags for cluster wide shared mailboxes. + lib-storage: Add new events: mail_opened, mail_expunge_requested, mail_expunged, mail_cache_lookup_finished. See https://doc.dovecot.org/admin_manual/list_of_events/#mail <https://doc.dovecot.org/admin_manual/list_of_events/#mail> + zlib, imap-compression, fs-compress: Support compression levels that the algorithm supports. 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. Instead NIL was handled as a "NIL" string. v2.3.14 regression. - imap: IMAP BINARY FETCH crashes at least on empty base64 body: Panic: file index-mail-binary.c: line 358 (blocks_count_lines): assertion failed: (block_count == 0 || block_idx+1 == block_count) - imap: If IMAP client using the NOTIFY command was disconnected while sending FETCH notifications to the client, imap could crash with Panic: Trying to close mailbox INBOX with open transactions. - imap: Using IMAP COMPRESS extension can cause IMAP connection to hang when IMAP commands are >8 kB long. - imapc: If remote server sent BYE but didn't immediately disconnect, it could cause infinite busy-loop. - lib-index: Corrupted cache record size in dovecot.index.cache file could have caused a crash (segfault) when accessing it. - lib-oauth2: JWT token time validation now works correctly with 32-bit systems. - lib-ssl-iostream: Checking hostnames against an SSL certificate was case-sensitive. - lib-storage: Corrupted mime.parts in dovecot.index.cache may have resulted in Panic: file imap-bodystructure.c: line 206 (part_write_body): assertion failed: (text == ((part->flags & MESSAGE_PART_FLAG_TEXT) != 0)) - lib-storage: Index rebuilding (e.g. via doveadm force-resync) didn't preserve the "hdr-pop3-uidl" header. 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.

Dovecot v2.3.14 released
by Aki Tuomi 04 Mar '21

04 Mar '21

Hi! We are pleased to release v2.3.14 of Dovecot. IMPORTANT NOTE: We have removed some components from the software, please review changelogs carefully prior upgrading. Please find source tarballs at https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.14.tar.gz https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.14.tar.gz.sig Binary packages in https://repo.dovecot.org/ Docker images in https://hub.docker.com/r/dovecot/dovecot Aki Tuomi Open-Xchange oy --- * Added new aliases for some variables. Usage of the old ones is possible, but discouraged. (These were partially added already to v2.3.13.) See https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/config_file/config_variables/ for more information. * Optimize imap/pop3/submission/managesieve proxies to use less CPU at the cost of extra memory usage. * Remove autocreate, expire, snarf and mail-filter plugins. * Remove cydir storage driver. * Remove XZ/LZMA write support. Read support will be removed in future release. * doveadm -D: Add timestamps to debug output even when LOG_STDERR_TIMESTAMP environment variable is not set. Timestamp format is taken from log_timestamp setting. * If BROKENCHAR or listescape plugin is used, the escaped folder names may be slightly different from before in some situations. This is unlikely to cause issues, although caching clients may redownload the folders. * imapc: It now enables BROKENCHAR=~ by default to escape remote folder names if necessary. This also means that if there are any '~' characters in the remote folder names, they will be visible as "~7e". * imapc: When using local index files folder names were escaped on filesystem a bit differently. This affects only if there are folder names that actually require escaping, which isn't so common. The old style folders will be automatically deleted from filesystem. * stats: Update exported metrics to be compliant with OpenMetrics standard. + doveadm: Add an optional '-p' parameter to metadata list command. If enabled, "/private", and "/shared" metadata prefixes will be prepended to the keys in the list output. + doveconf: Support environment variables in config files. See https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/config_file/config_file_syntax… for more details. + indexer-worker: Change indexer to disconnect from indexer-worker after each request. This allows service indexer-worker's service_count & idle_kill settings to work. These can be used to restart indexer-worker processes once in a while to reduce their memory usage. - auth: "nodelay" with various authentication mechanisms such as apop and digest-md5 crashed AUTH process if authentication failed. - auth: Auth lua script generating an error triggered an assertion failure: Panic: file db-lua.c: line 630 (auth_lua_call_password_verify): assertion failed: (lua_gettop(script->L) == 0). - configure: Fix libunwind detection to work on other than x86_64 systems. - doveadm-server: Process could crash if logging was done outside command handling. For example http-client could have done debug logging afterwards, resulting in either segfault or Panic: file http-client.c: line 642 (http_client_context_close): assertion failed: (cctx->clients_list == NULL). - dsync: Folder name escaping with BROKENCHAR didn't work completely correctly. This especially caused problems with dsync-migrations using imapc where some of the remote folder names may not have been accessible. - dsync: doveadm sync + imapc doesn't always sync all mails when doing an incremental sync (-1), which could lead to mail loss when it's used for migration. This happens only when GUIDs aren't used (i.e. imapc without imapc_features=guid-forced). - fts-tika: When tika server returns error, some mails cause 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)) - lib-imap: imapc parsing illegal BODYSTRUCTUREs with NILs could have resulted in crashes. This exposed that Dovecot was wrongly accepting atoms in "nstring" handling. Changed the IMAP parsing to be more strict about this now. - lib-index: If dovecot.index.cache has corrupted message size, fetching BODY/BODYSTRUCTURE may cause assert-crash: Panic: file index-mail.c: line 1140 (index_mail_parse_body_finish): assertion failed: (mail->data.parts != NULL). - lib-index: Minor error handling and race condition fixes related to rotating dovecot.index.log. These didn't usually cause problems, unless the log files were rotated rapidly. - lib-lua: Lua scripts using coroutines or lua libraries using coroutines (e.g., cqueues) panicked. - Message PREVIEW handled whitespace wrong so first space would get eaten from between words. - FTS and message PREVIEW (snippet) parsed HTML &entities case-sensitively. - lib-mail: When max nested MIME parts were reached, IMAP BODYSTRUCTURE was written in a way that may have caused confusion for IMAP clients and also Dovecot itself when parsing it. The truncated part is now written out using application/octet-stream MIME type. - lib-oauth2: HS512 and HS384 JWT token algorithms crash when you try to use them: Panic: file hmac.c: line 26 (hmac_init): assertion failed: (meth->context_size <= MAC_MAX_CONTEXT_SIZE). - event filters: NOT keyword did not have the correct associativity. NOT a AND b were getting parsed as NOT (a AND b) instead of (NOT a) AND b. - Ignore ECONNRESET when closing socket. This avoids logging useless errors on systems like FreeBSD. - event filters: event filter syntax error may lead to Panic: file event-filter.c: line 137 (event_filter_parse): assertion failed: (state.output == NULL) - lib: timeval_cmp_margin() was broken on 32-bit systems. This could potentially have caused HTTP timeouts to be handled incorrectly. - log: instance_name wasn't used as syslog ident by the log process. - master: After a service reached process_limit and client_limit, it could have taken up to 1 second to realize that more client connections became available. During this time client connections could have been unnecessarily rejected and a warning logged: Warning: service(...): process_limit (...) reached, client connections are being dropped - stats: Crash would occur when generating openmetrics data for metrics using aggregating functions. - stats: Event filters comparing against empty strings crash the stats process.

by Aki Tuomi 04 Jan '21

04 Jan '21

Open-Xchange Security Advisory 2021-01-04 Product: Dovecot Vendor: OX Software GmbH Internal reference: DOP-2009 (Bug ID) Vulnerability type: CWE-150: Improper Neutralization of Escape, Meta, or Control Sequences Vulnerable version: 2.2.26-2.3.11.3 Vulnerable component: imap Report confidence: Confirmed Solution status: Fixed by Vendor Fixed version: 2.3.13 Vendor notification: 2020-08-17 Solution date: 2020-08-27 Public disclosure: 2021-01-04 CVE reference: CVE-2020-24386 CVSS: 8.2 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N) Vulnerability Details: When imap hibernation is active, an attacker can cause Dovecot to discover file system directory structure and access other users' emails using specially crafted command. The attacker must have valid credentials to access the mail server. Risk: Attacker can access other users' emails and filesystem information. Workaround: Operators can choose to disable IMAP hibernation. IMAP hibernation is not on by default. To ensure imap hibernation is disabled, make sure imap_hibernate_timeout is set to 0 or unset. Solution: Operators should update to 2.3.13 or later version.

Pigeonhole v0.5.13 released
by Aki Tuomi 04 Jan '21

04 Jan '21

We are pleased to release pigeonhole 0.5.13. You can download it from locations below: https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3-pigeonhole-0.5.13.t… https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3-pigeonhole-0.5.13.t… Binary packages in https://repo.dovecot.org/ Docker images in https://hub.docker.com/r/dovecot/dovecot Aki Tuomi Open-Xchange oy --- - duplicate: The test was handled badly in a multiscript (sieve_before, sieve_after) scenario in which an earlier script in the sequence with a duplicate test succeeded, while a later script caused a runtime failure. In that case, the message is recorded for duplicate tracking, while the message may not actually have been delivered in the end. - editheader: Sieve interpreter entered infinite loop at startup when the "editheader" configuration listed an invalid header name. This problem can only be triggered by the administrator. - relational: The Sieve relational extension can cause a segfault at compile time. This is triggered by invalid script syntax. The segfault happens when this match type is the last argument of the test command. This situation is not possible in a valid script; positional arguments are normally present after that, which would prevent the segfault. - sieve: For some Sieve commands the provided mailbox name is not properly checked for UTF-8 validity, which can cause assert crashes at runtime when an invalid mailbox name is encountered. This can be caused by the user by writing a bad Sieve script involving the affected commands ("mailboxexists", "specialuse_exists"). This can be triggered by the remote sender only when the user has written a Sieve script that passes message content to one of the affected commands. - sieve: Large sequences of 8-bit octets passed to certain Sieve commands that create or modify message headers that allow UTF-8 text (vacation, notify and addheader) can cause the delivery or IMAP process (when IMAPSieve is used) to enter a memory-consuming semi-infinite loop that ends when the process exceeds its memory limits. Logged in users can cause these hangs only for their own processes.

Dovecot v2.3.13 released
by Aki Tuomi 04 Jan '21

04 Jan '21

We are pleased to release v2.3.13. Please find it from locations below: https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.13.tar.gz https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.13.tar.gz.sig Binary packages in https://repo.dovecot.org/ Docker images in https://hub.docker.com/r/dovecot/dovecot Aki Tuomi Open-Xchange oy --- * CVE-2020-24386: Specially crafted command can cause IMAP hibernate to allow logged in user to access other people's emails and filesystem information. * Metric filter and global event filter variable syntax changed to a SQL-like format. See https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/event_filter/ * auth: Added new aliases for %{variables}. Usage of the old ones is possible, but discouraged. * auth: Removed RPA auth mechanism, SKEY auth mechanism, NTLM auth mechanism and related password schemes. * auth: Removed passdb-sia, passdb-vpopmail and userdb-vpopmail. * auth: Removed postfix postmap socket + auth: Added new fields for auth server events. These fields are now also available for all auth events. See https://doc.dovecot.org/admin_manual/list_of_events/#authentication-server for details. + imap-hibernate: Added imap_client_hibernated, imap_client_unhibernated and imap_client_unhibernate_retried events. See https://doc.dovecot.org/admin_manual/list_of_events/ for details. + lib-index: Added new mail_index_recreated event. See https://doc.dovecot.org/admin_manual/list_of_events/#mail-index-recreated + lib-sql: Support TLS options for cassandra driver. This requires cpp-driver v2.15 (or later) to work reliably. + lib-storage: Missing $HasAttachment / $HasNoAttachment flags are now added to existing mails if mail_attachment_detection_option=add-flags and it can be done inexpensively. + login proxy: Added login_proxy_max_reconnects setting (default 3) to control how many reconnections are attempted. + login proxy: imap/pop3/submission/managesieve proxying now supports reconnection retrying on more than just connect() failure. Any error except a non-temporary authentication failure will result in reconnect attempts. - auth: Lua passdb/userdb leaks stack elements per call, eventually causing the stack to become too deep and crashing the auth or auth-worker process. - auth: SASL authentication PLAIN mechanism could be used to trigger read buffer overflow. However, this doesn't seem to be exploitable in any way. - auth: v2.3.11 regression: GSSAPI authentication fails because dovecot disallows NUL bytes for it. - dict: Process used too much CPU when iterating keys, because each key used a separate write() syscall. - doveadm-server: Crash could occur if logging was done outside command handling. For example http-client could have done debug logging afterwards, resulting in either segfault or Panic: file http-client.c: line 642 (http_client_context_close): assertion failed: (cctx->clients_list == NULL). - doveadm-server: v2.3.11 regression: Trying to connect to doveadm server process via starttls assert-crashed if there were no ssl=yes listeners: Panic: file master-service-ssl.c: line 22 (master_service_ssl_init): assertion failed: (service->ssl_ctx_initialized). - fts-solr: HTTP requests may have assert-crashed: Panic: file http-client-request.c: line 1232 (http_client_request_send_more): assertion failed: (req->payload_input != NULL) - imap: IMAP NOTIFY could crash with a segmentation fault due to a bad configuration that causes errors. Sending the error responses to the client can cause the segmentation fault. This can for example happen when several namespaces use the same mail storage location. - imap: IMAP NOTIFY used on a shared namespace that doesn't actually exist (e.g. public namespace for a nonexistent user) can crash with a panic: Panic: Leaked view for index /tmp/home/asdf/mdbox/dovecot.list.index: Opened in (null):0 - imap: IMAP session can crash with QRESYNC extension if many changes are done before asking for expunged mails since last sync. - imap: Process might hang indefinitely if client disconnects after sending some long-running commands pipelined, for example FETCH+LOGOUT. - lib-compress: Mitigate crashes when configuring a not compiled in compression. Errors with compression configuration now distinguish between not supported and unknown. - lib-compression: Using xz/lzma compression in v2.3.11 could have written truncated output in some situations. This would result in "Broken pipe" read errors when trying to read it back. - lib-compression: zstd compression could have crashed in some situations: Panic: file ostream.c: line 287 (o_stream_sendv_int): assertion failed: (!stream->blocking) - lib-dict: dict client could have crashed in some rare situations when iterating keys. - lib-http: Fix several assert-crashes in HTTP client. - lib-index: v2.3.11 regression: When mails were expunged at the same time as lots of new content was being saved to the cache (e.g. cache file was lost and is being re-filled) a deadlock could occur with dovecot.index.cache / dovecot.index.log. - lib-index: v2.3.11 regression: dovecot.index.cache file was being purged (rewritten) too often when it had a field that hadn't been accessed for over 1 month, but less than 2 months. Every cache file change caused a purging in this situation. - lib-mail: MIME parts were not returned correctly by Dovecot MIME parser. Regression caused by fixing CVE-2020-12100. - lib-mail: When max nested MIME parts were reached, IMAP BODYSTRUCTURE was written in a way that may have caused confusion for both IMAP clients and Dovecot itself when parsing it. The truncated part is now written out using application/octet-stream MIME type. - lib-mail: v2.3.11 regression: Mail delivery / parsing crashed when the 10000th MIME part was message/rfc822 (or if parent was multipart/digest): Panic: file message-parser.c: line 167 (message_part_append): assertion failed: (ctx->total_parts_count <= ctx->max_total_mime_parts). - lib-oauth2: Dovecot incorrectly required oauth2 server introspection reply to contain username with invalid token. - lib-ssl-iostream, lib-dcrypt: Fix building with OpenSSL that has deprecated APIs disabled. - lib-storage: When mail's size is different from the cached one (in dovecot.index.cache or Maildir S=size in the filename), this is handled by logging "Cached message size smaller/larger than expected" error. However, in some situations this also ended up crashing with: Panic: file istream.c: line 315 (i_stream_read_memarea): assertion failed: (old_size <= _stream->pos - _stream->skip). - lib-storage: v2.3 regression: Copying/moving mails was taking much more memory than before. This was mainly visible when copying/moving thousands of mails in a single transaction. - lib-storage: v2.3.11 regression: Searching messages assert-crashed (without FTS): Panic: file message-parser.c: line 174 (message_part_finish): assertion failed: (ctx->nested_parts_count > 0). - lib: Dovecot v2.3 moved signal handlers around in ioloops, causing more CPU usage than in v2.2. - lib: Fixed JSON parsing: '\' escape sequence may have wrongly resulted in error if it happened to be at read boundary. Any NUL characters and '\u0000' will now result in parsing error instead of silently truncating the data. - lmtp, submission: Server may hang if SSL client connection disconnects during the delivery. If this happened repeated, it could have ended up reaching process_limit and preventing any further lmtp/submission deliveries. - lmtp: Proxy does not always properly log TLS connection problems as errors; in some cases, only a debug message is logged if enabled. - lmtp: The LMTP service can hang when commands are pipelined. This can particularly occur when one command in the middle of the pipeline fails. One example of this occurs for proxied LMTP transactions in which the final DATA or BDAT command is pipelined after a failing RCPT command. - login-proxy: The login_source_ips setting has no effect, and therefore the proxy source IPs are not cycled through as they should be. - master: Process was using 100% CPU in some situations when a broken service was being throttled. - pop3-login: POP3 login would fail with "Input buffer full" if the initial response for SASL was too long. - stats: Crash would occur when generating openmetrics data for metrics using aggregating functions.

See event documentation in https://doc.dovecot.org. * imap_command_finished event's cmd_name field now contains "unknown" for unknown commands. A new "cmd_input_name" field contains the command name exactly as it was sent. * lib-index: Renamed mail_cache_compress_* settings to mail_cache_purge_*. Note that these settings are mainly intended for testing and usually shouldn't be changed. * events: Renamed "index" event category to "mail-index". * events: service:<name> category is now using the name from configuration file. * dns-client: service dns_client was renamed to dns-client. * log: Prefixes generally use the service name from configuration file. For example dict-async service will now use "dict-async(pid): " log prefix instead of "dict(pid): " * *-login: Changed logging done by proxying to use a consistent prefix containing the IP address and port. * *-login: Changed disconnection log messages to be slightly clearer. + dict: Add events for dictionaries. + lib-index: Finish logging with events. + oauth2: Support local validation of JWT tokens. + stats: Add support for dynamic histograms and grouping.

18 May '20

Dear subscribers, we are sending notifications for three vulnerabilities, - CVE-2020-10957 - CVE-2020-10958 - CVE-2020-10967 Please find them below --- Aki Tuomi Open-Xchange Oy ------------------ Open-Xchange Security Advisory 2020-05-18 Product: Dovecot Vendor: OX Software GmbH Internal reference: DOV-3784 Vulnerability type: NULL pointer dereference (CWE-476) Vulnerable version: 2.3.0 - 2.3.10 Vulnerable component: submission, lmtp Report confidence: Confirmed Solution status: Fixed by Vendor Fixed version: 2.3.10.1 Researcher credits: Philippe Antoine (Catena Cyber) Vendor notification: 2020-03-24 Solution date: 2020-04-02 Public disclosure: 2020-05-18 CVE reference: CVE-2020-10957 CVSS: 7.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H) Vulnerability Details: Sending malformed NOOP command causes crash in submission, submission-login or lmtp service. Risk: Remote attacker can keep submission-login service down, causing denial of service attack. For lmtp the risk is neglible, as lmtp is usually behind a trusted MTA. Steps to reproduce: Send ``NOOP EE"FY`` to submission port, or similarly malformed command. Solution: Upgrade to fixed version. ------------------ Open-Xchange Security Advisory 2020-05-18 Product: Dovecot IMAP server Vendor: OX Software GmbH Internal reference: DOV-3875 Vulnerability type: Improper handling of input data (CWE-20) Vulnerable version: 2.3.0 - 2.3.10 Vulnerable component: submission, lmtp Report confidence: Confirmed Solution status: Fixed by Vendor Fixed version: 2.3.10.1 Researcher credits: Philippe Antoine (Catena Cyber) Vendor notification: 2020-03-23 Solution date: 2020-04-02 Public disclosure: 2020-05-18 CVE reference: CVE-2020-10958 CVSS: 5.3 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L) Vulnerability Details: Sending command followed by sufficient number of newlines triggers a use-after-free bug that might crash submission-login, submission or lmtp service. Risk: Remote attacker can keep submission-login service down, causing denial of service attack. For lmtp the risk is neglible, as lmtp is usually behind a trusted MTA. Steps to reproduce: This can be currently reproduced with ASAN or Valgrind. Reliable way to crash has not yet been discovered.

Risk: Malicious actor can cause denial of service to mail delivery by repeatedly sending mails with bad sender or recipient address. Steps to reproduce: Send mail with envelope sender or recipient as ``<""@example.org>``. Workaround: For submission there is no workaround, but triggering the bug requires valid credentials. For lmtp, one can implement sufficient filtering on MTA level to prevent mails with such addresses from ending up in LMTP delivery. Solution: Upgrade to fixed version. ------------------

v2.3.10.1 released
by Aki Tuomi 18 May '20

18 May '20

We are pleased to release v2.3.10.1 Please find it from locations below: https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.10.1.tar.gz https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.10.1.tar.gz.sig Binary packages in https://repo.dovecot.org/ Docker images in https://hub.docker.com/r/dovecot/dovecot Aki Tuomi Open-Xchange oy --- - CVE-2020-10957: lmtp/submission: A client can crash the server by sending a NOOP command with an invalid string parameter. This occurs particularly for a parameter that doesn't start with a double quote. This applies to all SMTP services, including submission-login, which makes it possible to crash the submission service without authentication. - CVE-2020-10958: lmtp/submission: Sending many invalid or unknown commands can cause the server to access freed memory, which can lead to a server crash. This happens when the server closes the connection with a "421 Too many invalid commands" error. The bad command limit depends on the service (lmtp or submission) and varies between 10 to 20 bad commands. - CVE-2020-10967: lmtp/submission: Issuing the RCPT command with an address that has the empty quoted string as local-part causes the lmtp service to crash.

Headsup on feature removal
by Aki Tuomi 17 Mar '20

17 Mar '20

Hi! Dovecot is now a nearly 20 year old product, and during that time it has accumulated many different features and plugins in its core repository. We are starting to gradually remove some of these parts, which are unused, untested or deprecated. We will provide advance notification before removing anything. To start, the following features are likely to be removed in next few releases of Dovecot. - Authentication drivers: vpopmail, checkpassword, bsdauth, shadow, sia - Password schemes: HMAC-MD5, RPA, SKEY, PLAIN-MD4, LANMAN, NTLM, SMD5 - Authentication mechanisms: ntlm, rpa, skey - Dict drivers: memcached, memcached-ascii (use redis instead) - postfix postmap support - autocreate & autosubscribe plugins (use built-in auto=create/subscribe setting instead) - expire plugin (use built-in autoexpunge setting) - fts-squat plugin - mailbox alias plugin - mail-filter plugin - snarf plugin - xz compression algorithm For the authentication drivers that are being removed, we suggest using Lua as a replacement. See https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/authentication/lua_based_authe… For information about converting between password schemes, see https://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/ConvertPasswordSchemes If you are using any of these features, please start preparing for their removal in the near future. Features will begin to be dropped as of v2.3.11. Additionally, the mbox format will no longer receive new development. It will still be maintained, however its use beyond migrations and other limited use cases will be discouraged. Please contact us via the mailing list if you have any questions. Regards, Dovecot Team

Dovecot v2.3.10 Released
by Aki Tuomi 06 Mar '20

06 Mar '20

We are pleased to release v2.3.10 of Dovecot. Please find it from locations below: https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.10.tar.gz https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.10.tar.gz.sig Binary packages in https://repo.dovecot.org/ Docker images in https://hub.docker.com/r/dovecot/dovecot Aki Tuomi Open-Xchange oy --- * Disable retpoline migitations by default. These can cause severe performance regressions, so they should be only enabled when applicable. * IMAP MOVE now commits transactions in batches of 1000 mails. This helps especially with lazy_expunge when moving a lot of mails. It mainly avoids situations where multiple IMAP sessions are running the same MOVE command and duplicating the mails in the lazy_expunge folder. With this change there can still be some duplication, but the MOVE always progresses forward. Also if the MOVE fails at some point, the changes up to the last 1000 mails are still committed instead of rolled back. Note that the COPY command behavior hasn't changed, because it is required by IMAP standard to be an atomic operation. * IMAP EXPUNGE and CLOSE now expunges mails in batches of 1000 mails. This helps especially with lazy_expunge when expunging a lot of mails (e.g. millions) to make sure that the progress always moves forward even if the process is killed. * Autoexpunging now expunges mails in batches of 1000 mails. This helps especially with lazy_expunge when expunging a lot of mails (e.g. millions) to make sure that the progress always moves forward even if the process is killed. + Add tool for generating sysreport called dovecot-sysreport. This generates a bundle of information usually needed for support requests. + Add support for the new IMAP \Important SPECIAL-USE flag (RFC 8457). + Add metric { group_by } setting. This allows automatically creating new metrics based on the fields you want to group statistics by. NOTE: This feature is considered experimental and syntax is subject to change in future release. + auth: Support SCRAM-SHA-256 authentication mechanism. + imap: Support the new IMAP STATUS=SIZE extension. + Use TCP_QUICKACK to reduce latency for some TCP connections. + quota-status: Made the service more robust against erroneous use with Postfix ACL policies other than smtpd_recipient_restrictions. + Add "revision" field support to imap_id_send setting. Using "revision *" will send in IMAP ID command response the short commit hash of the Dovecot git source tree HEAD (same as in dovecot --version). + IMAP ENVELOPE includes now all addresses when there are multiple headers (From, To, Cc, etc.) The standard way of having multiple addresses is to just list them all in a single header. It's non-standard to have multiple headers. However, since MTAs allow these mails to pass through and different software may handle them in different ways, it's better from security point of view to show all the addresses. + Event filters now support using "field_name=" to match a field that doesn't exist or has an empty value. For example use "error=" to match only events that didn't fail. - acl: INBOX ACLs shouldn't apply for IMAP GETMETADATA/SETMETADATA commands. - cassandra: CASS_ERROR_SERVER_WRITE_FAILURE error should also be treated as "uncertain write failure". - dict-redis: Using quota_clone configured with dict-redis could have crashed when Redis responded slowly. - imap-hibernate: Communication trouble with imap-master leads to segfault. - imap-hibernate: Unhibernation retrying wasn't working. - imap: Fixed auth lookup privilege problem when imap process was reused and user was being un-hibernated. - Fix potential crash when copying/moving mails within the same folder. This happened only when there were a lot of fields in dovecot.index.cache. - lib-index: Recreating dovecot.index.cache file could have crashed when merging bitmask fields. - lib-index: Using public/shared folders with INDEXPVT configured to use private \Seen flags, trying to search seen/unseen in an empty folder crashes with segfault. - lib-mail: Large base64-encoded mails weren't decoded properly. This could have affected searching/indexing mails and message snippet generation. - lib-mail: Message with only quoted text could have caused message snippet to ignore its 200 character limit and return the entire message. This was added also to dovecot.index.cache file, which increased disk space and memory usage unnecessarily. v2.3.9.2 regression (previous versions cached the quoted snippet as empty). In a large mail quoted text could have become wrongly added to the snippet, possibly mixed together with non-quoted text. - lib-smtp: client could have assert-crashed if STARTTLS handshake finished earlier than usually. - lib-ssl-iostream: remove -static flag for lib-ssl-iostream linking to prevent a compile issue. - lib-storage: Mailbox synchronization may have assert-crashed in some rare situations. - lib-storage: mdbox didn't preserve date.saved with dsync. - lib: Don't require EAI_{ADDRFAMILY,NODATA}, breaks FreeBSD - master: Some services could respawn unthrottled if they crash during startup. - push-notification: Do not send push_notification_finished event if nothing was done. This happens when mail transaction is started and ended with no changes. - quota-status: Addresses with special characters in the local part caused problems in the interaction between Postfix and Dovecot. Postfix sent its own internal representation in the recipient field, while Dovecot expected a valid RFC5321 mailbox address. - submission-login: SESSION was not correctly encoded field for the XCLIENT command. Particularly, a '+' character introduced by the session ID's Base64 encoding causes problems. - submission: Fix submission_max_mail_size to work correctly on 32-bit systems. - submission: Trusted connections crashed in second connection's EHLO if submission-login { service_count } is something else than 1 (which is the default). - submission: XCLIENT command was never used in the protocol exchange with the relay MTA when submission_backend_capabilities is configured, even when the relay MTA was properly configured to accept the XCLIENT command.

v2.3.9 released

Hi all! We are pleased to release v2.3.9 of Dovecot. Please find it from locations below --- Aki Tuomi Open-Xchange oy https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.9.tar.gz https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.9.tar.gz.sig Binary packages in https://repo.dovecot.org/ Docker images in https://hub.docker.com/r/dovecot/dovecot --- * Changed several event field names for consistency and to avoid conflicts in parent-child event relationships: * SMTP server command events: Renamed "name" to "cmd_name" * Events inheriting from a mailbox: Renamed "name" to "mailbox" * Server connection events have only "remote_ip", "remote_port", "local_ip" and "local_port". * Removed duplicate "client_ip", "ip" and "port". * Mail storage events: Removed "service" field. Use "service:<name>" category instead. * HTTP client connection events: Renamed "host" to "dest_host" and "port" to "dest_port" * auth: Drop Postfix socketmap support. It hasn't been working with recent Postfix versions for a while now. * push-notification-lua: The "subject" field is now decoded to UTF8 instead of kept as MIME-encoded. + push-notification-lua: Added new "from_address", "from_display_name", "to_address" and "to_display_name" fields. The display names are decoded to UTF8. + Added various new fields to existing events. See http://doc.dovecot.net/admin_manual/list_of_events.html + Add lmtp_add_received_header setting. It can be used to prevent LMTP from adding "Received:" headers. + doveadm: Support SSL/STARTTLS for proxied doveadm connections based on doveadm_ssl setting and proxy ssl/tls settings. + Log filters support now "service:<name>", which matches all events for the given service. It can also be used as a category. + lib: Use libunwind to get abort backtraces with function names where available. + lmtp: When the LMTP proxy changes the username (from passdb lookup) add an appropriate ORCPT parameter. - lmtp: Add lmtp_client_workarounds setting to implement workarounds for clients that send MAIL and RCPT commands with additional spaces before the path and for clients that omit <> brackets around the path. See example-config/conf.d/20-lmtp.conf. - lda/lmtp: Invalid MAIL FROM addresses were rejcted too aggressively. Now mails from addresses with unicode characters are delivered, but their Return-Path header will be <> instead of the given MAIL FROM address. - lmtp: The lmtp_hdr_delivery_address setting is ignored. - imap: imap_command_finished event's "args" and "human_args" parameters were always empty. - mbox: Seeking in zlib and bzip2 compressed input streams didn't work correctly. - imap-hibernate: Process crashed when client got destroyed while it was attempted to be unhibernated, and the unhibernation fails. - *-login: Proxying may have crashed if SSL handshake to the backend failed immediately. This was unlikely to happen in normal operation. - *-login: If TLS handshake to upstream server failed during proxying, login process could crash due to invalid memory access. - *-login: v2.3 regression: Using SASL authentication without initial response may have caused SSL connections to hang. This happened often at least with PHP's IMAP library. - *-login: When login processes are flooded with authentication attempts it starts logging errors about "Authentication server sent unknown id". This is still expected. However, it also caused the login process to disconnect from auth server and potentially log some user's password in the error message. - dict-sql: SQL prepared statements were not shared between sessions. This resulted in creating a lot of prepared statements, which was especially inefficient when using Cassandra backend with a lot of Cassandra nodes. - auth: auth_request_finished event didn't have success=yes parameter set for successful authentications. - auth: userdb dict - Trying to list users crashed. - submission: Service could be configured to allow anonymous authentication mechanism and anonymous user access. - LAYOUT=index: Corrupted dovecot.list.index caused folder creation to panic. - doveadm: HTTP server crashes if request target starts with double "/". - dsync: Remote dsync started hanging if the initial doveadm "dsync-server" command was sent in the same TCP packet as the following dsync handshake. v2.3.8 regression. - lib: Several "input streams" had a bug that in some rare situations might cause it to access freed memory. This could lead to crashes or corruption. The only currently known effect of this is that using zlib plugin with external mail attachments (mail_attachment_dir) could cause fetching the mail to return a few bytes of garbage data at the beginning of the header. Note that the mail wasn't saved corrupted, but fetching it caused corrupted mail to be sent to the client. - lib-storage: If a mail only has quoted content, use the quoted text for generating message snippet (IMAP PREVIEW) instead of returning empty snippet. - lib-storage: When vsize header was rebuilt, newly calculated message sizes were added to dovecot.index.cache instead of being directly saved into vsize records in dovecot.index. - lib: JSON generator was escaping UTF-8 characters unnecessarily.

This commonly is added as a log prefix. + Base64 encoding/decoding code was rewritten with additional features. It shouldn't cause any user visible changes. - v2.3.7 regression: If a folder only receives new mails without any other mail access, dovecot.index.log keeps growing forever and dovecot.index keeps being rewritten for every mail delivery. - dsync-replication may lose keywords after syncing mails restored from another replica. This only happened if the mail only had keywords and no system flags. - event filters: Non-textual event fields could not be filtered using wildcards. - auth: Scope parameter was missing from OAuth password grant request. - doveadm client-server communication may hang in some situations. It is also using unnecessarily small TCP/IP packet sizes. - doveadm who and kick did not flush protocol output correctly. - imap: SETMETADATA with literal value would delete the metadata value instead of updating it. - imap: When client issues FETCH PREVIEW (LAZY=FUZZY) command, the caching decisions should be updated so that newly saved mails will have the preview cached. - With mail_nfs_index=yes and/or mail_nfs_storage=yes setuid/setgid permission bits in some files may have become dropped with some NFS servers. Changed NFS flushing to now use chmod() instead of chown(). - quota: warnings did not work if quota root was noenforcing - acl: Global ACL file ignored the last line if it didn't end with LF. - doveadm stats dump: With JSON formatter output numbers using the number type instead of as strings - lmtp_proxy: Ensure that real_* variables are correctly set when using lmtp_proxy. - event exporter: http-post driver had hardcoded timeout and did not support DNS lookups or TLS connections. - auth: Fix user iteration to work with userdb passwd with glibc v2.28. - auth: auth service can crash if auth-policy JSON response is invalid or returned too fast. - In some rare situations "ps" output could have shown a lot of "?" characters after Dovecot process titles. - When dovecot.index.pvt is empty, an unnecessary error is logged: Error: .../dovecot.index.pvt reset, view is now inconsistent - SMTP address encoder duplicated initial double quote character when the localpart of an address ended in '..'. For example "user+..(a)example.com" became ""user+.."@example.com in a sieve redirect. --- Aki Tuomi Open-Xchange Oy

Dear subscribers, we have been made aware of critical vulnerability in Dovecot and Pigeonhole. --- Open-Xchange Security Advisory 2019-08-14 Product: Dovecot Vendor: OX Software GmbH Internal reference: DOV-3278 Vulnerability type: Improper input validation (CWE-20) Vulnerable version: All versions prior to 2.3.7.2 and 2.2.36.4 Vulnerable component: IMAP and ManageSieve protocol parsers (before and after login) Report confidence: Confirmed Solution status: Fixed by Vendor Fixed version: 2.3.7.2, 2.2.36.4 Researcher credits: Nick Roessler and Rafi Rubin, University of Pennsylvania Vendor notification: 2019-04-13 Solution date: 2019-06-05 Public disclosure: 2019-08-28 CVE reference: CVE-2019-11500 CVSS: 8.1 (CVSS3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) Vulnerability Details: IMAP and ManageSieve protocol parsers do not properly handle NUL byte when scanning data in quoted strings, leading to out of bounds heap memory writes. Risk: This vulnerability allows for out-of-bounds writes to objects stored on the heap up to 8096 bytes in pre-login phase, and 65536 bytes post-login phase, allowing sufficiently skilled attacker to perform complicated attacks that can lead to leaking private information or remote code execution. Abuse of this bug is very difficult to observe, as it does not necessarily cause a crash. Attempts to abuse this bug are not directly evident from logs. Steps to reproduce: This bug is best observed using valgrind to see the out of bounds read with following snippet: perl -e 'print "a id (\"foo\" \"".("x"x1021)."\\A\" \"bar\" \"\000".("x"x1020)."\\A\")\n"' | nc localhost 143 Solution: Operators should update to the latest Patch Release.

Dovecot release v2.3.7
by Aki Tuomi 12 Jul '19

12 Jul '19

Hi! We are pleased to release Dovecot release v2.3.7. Tarball is available at https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.7.tar.gz https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.7.tar.gz.sig Binary packages are available at https://repo.dovecot.org/ Changes ------- * fts-solr: Removed break-imap-search parameter + Added more events for the new statistics, see https://doc.dovecot.org/admin_manual/list_of_events/ + mail-lua: Add IMAP metadata accessors, see https://doc.dovecot.org/admin_manual/lua/ + Add event exporters that allow exporting raw events to log files and external systems, see https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/event_export/ + SNIPPET is now PREVIEW and size has been increased to 200 characters. + Add body option to fts_enforced. This triggers building FTS index only on body search, and an error using FTS index fails the search rather than reads through all the mails. - Submission/LMTP: Fixed crash when domain argument is invalid in a second EHLO/LHLO command. - Copying/moving mails using Maildir format loses IMAP keywords in the destination if the mail also has no system flags. - mail_attachment_detection_options=add-flags-on-save caused email body to be unnecessarily opened when FETCHing mail headers that were already cached. - mail attachment detection keywords not saved with maildir. - dovecot.index.cache may have grown excessively large in some situations. This happened especially when using autoexpunging with lazy_expunge folders. Also with mdbox format in general the cache file wasn't recreated as often as it should have. - Autoexpunged mails weren't immediately deleted from the disk. Instead, the deletion from disk happened the next time the folder was opened. This could have caused unnecessary delays if the opening was done by an interactive IMAP session. - Dovecot's TCP connections sometimes add extra 40ms latency due to not enabling TCP_NODELAY. HTTP and SMTP/LMTP connections weren't affected, but everything else was. This delay wasn't always visible - only in some situations with some message/packet sizes. - imapc: Fix various crash conditions - Dovecot builds were not always reproducible. - login-proxy: With shutdown_clients=no after config reload the existing connections could no longer be listed or kicked with doveadm. - "doveadm proxy kick" with -f parameter caused a crash in some situations. - Auth policy can cause segmentation fault crash during auth process shutdown if all auth requests have not been finished. - Fix various minor bugs leading into incorrect behaviour in mailbox list index handling. These rarely caused noticeable problems. - LDAP auth: Iteration accesses freed memory, possibly crashing auth-worker - local_name { .. } filter in dovecot.conf does not correctly support multiple names and wildcards were matched incorrectly. - replicator: dsync assert-crashes if it can't connect to remote TCP server. - config: Memory leak in config process when ssl_dh setting wasn't set and there was no ssl-parameters.dat file. This caused config process to die once in a while with "out of memory". --- Aki Tuomi Open-Xchange oy

Hi! We are pleased to release Pigeonhole 0.5.6 for Dovecot 2.3.6. Tarball https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3-pigeonhole-0.5.6.ta… https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3-pigeonhole-0.5.6.ta… Binary packages can be found from https://repo.dovecot.org/ Changes + sieve: Redirect loop prevention is sometimes ineffective. Improve existing loop detection by also recognizing the X-Sieve-Redirected-From header in incoming messages and dropping redirect actions when it points to the sending account. This header is already added by the redirect action, so this improvement only adds an additional use of this header. - sieve: Prevent execution of implicit keep upon temporary failure occurring at runtime. --- Aki Tuomi Open-Xchange oy

CVE-2019-10691: JSON encoder in Dovecot 2.3 incorrecty assert-crashes when encountering invalid UTF-8 characters.
by Aki Tuomi 18 Apr '19

18 Apr '19

Dear subscribers, we're sharing our latest advisory with you and would like to thank everyone who contributed in finding and solving those vulnerabilities. Feel free to join our bug bounty programs (open-xchange, dovecot, powerdns) at HackerOne. You can find binary packages at https://repo.dovecot.org/ Yours sincerely, Aki Tuomi Open-Xchange Oy Open-Xchange Security Advisory 2019-04-18 Product: Dovecot Vendor: OX Software GmbH Internal reference: DOV-3173 (Bug ID) Vulnerability type: CWE-176 Vulnerable version: 2.3.0 - 2.3.5.1 Vulnerable component: json encoder Report confidence: Confirmed Researcher credits: cPanel L.L.C. Solution status: Fixed by Vendor Fixed version: 2.3.5.2 Vendor notification: 2019-04-02 Solution date: 2019-04-11 Public disclosure: 2019-04-18 CVE reference: CVE-2019-10691 CVSS: 7.5 (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H) Vulnerability Details: JSON encoder in Dovecot 2.3 incorrecty assert-crashes when encountering invalid UTF-8 characters. This can be used to crash dovecot in two ways. Attacker can repeatedly crash Dovecot authentication process by logging in using invalid UTF-8 sequence in username. This requires that auth policy is enabled. Crash can also occur if OX push notification driver is enabled and an email is delivered with invalid UTF-8 sequence in From or Subject header. In 2.2, malformed UTF-8 sequences are forwarded "as-is", and thus do not cause problems in Dovecot itself. Target systems should be checked for possible problems in dealing with such sequences. See https://wiki.dovecot.org/Authentication/Policy for details on auth policy support. Risk: Determined attacker can prevent authentication process from staying up by keeping on attempting to log in with username containing invalid UTF-8 sequence. Steps to reproduce: Configure dovecot with auth_policy_server_url and auth_policy_hash_nonce set. Attempt to log in with username containing an invalid UTF-8 sequence Observe assert-crash in dovecot logs. Solution: Operators should update to the latest Patch Release or disable auth policy support.

CVE-2019-7524: Buffer overflow when reading extension header from dovecot index files
by Aki Tuomi 28 Mar '19

28 Mar '19

Product: Dovecot Vendor: OX Software GmbH Internal reference: DOV-2964 (Bug ID) Vulnerability type: CWE-120 Vulnerable version: 2.0.14 - 2.3.5 Vulnerable component: fts, pop3-uidl-plugin Report confidence: Confirmed Researcher credits: Found in internal testing Solution status: Fixed by Vendor Fixed version: 2.3.5.1, 2.2.36.3 Vendor notification: 2019-02-05 Solution date: 2019-03-21 Public disclosure: 2019-03-28 CVE reference: CVE-2019-7524 CVSS: 3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:P/RL:O/RC:C (8.8) Vulnerability Details: When reading FTS or POP3-UIDL header from dovecot index, the input buffer size is not bound, and data is copied to target structure causing stack overflow. Risk: This can be used for local root privilege escalation or executing arbitrary code in dovecot process context. This requires ability to directly modify dovecot indexes. Steps to reproduce: Produce dovecot.index.log entry that creates an FTS header which has more than 12 bytes of data. Trigger dovecot indexer-worker or run doveadm index. Dovecot will crash. Mitigations: Since 2.3.0 dovecot has been compiled with stack smash protection, ASLR, read-only GOT tables and other techniques that make exploiting this bug much harder. Solution: Operators should update to the latest Patch Release. The only workaround is to disable FTS and pop3-uidl plugin. -- Aki Tuomi Open-Xchange Oy

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

Released Pigeonhole v0.5.3 for Dovecot v2.3.3.
by Stephan Bosch 02 Oct '18

02 Oct '18

Hello Dovecot users, Here's the Pigeonhole release that goes with Dovecot v2.3.3. Only two insignificant memory leak fixes were added since the release candidate (not mentioned in the changelog). Changelog v0.5.3: - Fix assertion panic occurring when managesieve service fails to open INBOX while saving a Sieve script. This was caused by a lack of cleanup after failure. - Fix specific messages causing an assert panic with actions that compose a reply (e.g. vacation). With some rather weird input from the original message, the header folding algorithm (as used for composing the References header for the reply) got confused, causing the panic. - IMAP FILTER=SIEVE capability: Fix FILTER SIEVE SCRIPT command parsing. After finishing reading the Sieve script, the command parsing sometimes didn't continue with the search arguments. This is a time- critical bug that likely only occurs when the Sieve script is sent in the next TCP frame.

Dovecot lifecycle announcement
by Aki Tuomi 03 Aug '18

03 Aug '18

Hi! We are giving the following end of life (EOL) statements: For any version before 2.2, we are not going to be providing any patches or fixes. This has been the case before, but we are now officially declaring them EOL. For 2.2 versions, we are going to provide security and critical bug fixes for 2.2.36 only. If you are using 2.2.x version prior to .36, we will not be providing anything other than critical security fixes. This means that if you are experiencing a problem with Dovecot, we need you to upgrade into latest 2.3 release and reproduce the problem there. If this happens, please file a bug report and we are more than happy to take a look! If you are using a 2.2.x version packaged from an Operating System Vendor, please open a bug against them for fixing it. We do not provide patches or bug fixes against these OS Vendor specific releases. 2.3.x is the current main release, which will receive feature, bug and security patches. We accept bug reports against latest 2.3 version or master version of Dovecot. If you need packages for 2.3, please see https://repo.dovecot.org. Thank you for using Dovecot! Note: Users with a commercial agreement with Open-Xchange (Dovecot Pro) have a separate EOL policy, so this announcement does not apply to those customers. Aki Tuomi Open-Xchange Oy

Released Pigeonhole v0.5.2 for Dovecot v2.3.2.
by Stephan Bosch 29 Jun '18

29 Jun '18

Hello Dovecot users, Here's the Pigeonhole release that goes with Dovecot v2.3.2. You will need this release for Dovecot v2.3.2, because the previous v0.5.1 release will not work. No changes were performed since the release candidate. Much like version 0.4.24 for Dovecot v2.2, this release consists mostly of fixes that accumulated over the last few months. Beyond that, this release contains the new IMAP FILTER=SIEVE capability, which was also released earlier with 2.2.24 (with a few additional fixes). Changelog v0.5.2: + Implement plugin for the a vendor-defined IMAP capability called "FILTER=SIEVE". It adds the ability to manually invoke Sieve filtering in IMAP. More information can be found in doc/plugins/imap_filter_sieve.txt. - The Sieve address test caused an assertion panic for invalid addresses with UTF-8 codepoints in the localpart. Fixed by properly detecting invalid addresses with UTF-8 codepoints in the localpart and skipping these like other invalid addresses while iterating addresses for the address test. - Make the length of the subject header for the vacation response configurable and enforce the limit in UTF-8 codepoints rather than bytes. The subject header for a vacation response was statically truncated to 256 bytes, which is too limited for multi-byte UTF-8 characters. - Sieve editheader extension: Fix assertion panic occurring when it is used to manipulate a message header with a very large header field. - Properly abort execution of the sieve_discard script upon error. Before, the LDA Sieve plugin attempted to execute the sieve_discard script when an error occurs. This can lead to the message being lost. - Fix the interaction between quota and the sieve_discard script. When quota was used together with a sieve_discard script, the message delivery did not bounce when the quota was exceeded. The release is available as follows: https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3-pigeonhole-0.5.2.ta… https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3-pigeonhole-0.5.2.ta… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x wiki for more information.

Binary packages are already in https://repo.dovecot.org/ * old-stats plugin: Don't temporarily enable PR_SET_DUMPABLE while opening /proc/self/io.

It was always set to "optimized". - lua auth: Fix potential crash at deinit - SSL/TLS servers may have crashed if client disconnected during handshake. - SSL/TLS servers: Don't send extraneous certificates to client when alt certs are used. - lda, lmtp: Return-Path header without '<' may have assert-crashed. - lda, lmtp: Unencoded UTF-8 in email address headers may assert-crash - lda: -f parameter didn't allow empty/null/domainless address - lmtp, submission: Message size limit was hardcoded to 40 MB.

Hello Dovecot users, Here is the Pigeonhole release that goes with the new Dovecot v2.2.36 release.

More information can be found in doc/plugins/imap_filter_sieve.txt. - Fix assert panics triggered by empty messages that are being forwarded using redirect or vnd.dovecot.report.

Released Pigeonhole v0.5.1 for Dovecot v2.3.1.
by Stephan Bosch 28 Mar '18

28 Mar '18

Hello Dovecot users, Here's the Pigeonhole release that goes with Dovecot v2.3.1. You will need this release for Dovecot v2.3.1, because the previous v0.5.0.1 release will not work. Apart from compatibility changes, it only contains bugfixes. Changelog v0.5.1: - Explicitly disallow UTF-8 in localpart in addresses parsed from Sieve script. - editheader extension: Corrected the stream position calculations performed while making the modified message available as a stream. Pigeonhole Sieve crashed in LMTP with an assertion panic when the Sieve editheader extension was used before the message was redirected. Experiments indicate that the problem occurred only with LMTP and that LDA is not affected. - fileinto extension: Fix assert panic occurring when fileinto is used without being listed in the require line, while the copy extension is listed there. This is a very old bug. - imapsieve plugin: Do not assert crash or log an error for messages that disappear concurrently while applying Sieve scripts. This event is now logged as a debug message. - Sieve extprograms plugin: Large output from "execute" command crashed delivery. Fixed buffering issue in code that handles output from the external program. The release is available as follows: https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3-pigeonhole-0.5.1.ta… https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3-pigeonhole-0.5.1.ta… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x wiki for more information.

by aki.tuomi＠dovecot.fi 27 Mar '18

27 Mar '18

Hi! We are releasing v2.3.1, which mostly consists of bug fixes for 2.3.0, and few improvements. This is also available via https://repo.dovecot.org if you want packages. libsodium support didn't get into this build, due to build environment issues, but 2.3.2 will contain it. * Submission server support improvements and bug fixes - Lots of bug fixes to submission server * API CHANGE: array_idx_modifiable will no longer allocate space - Particularly affects how you should check MODULE_CONTEXT result, or use REQUIRE_MODULE_CONTEXT. + mail_attachment_detection_options setting controls when $HasAttachment and $HasNoAttachment keywords are set for mails. + imap: Support fetching body snippets using FETCH (SNIPPET) or (SNIPPET (LAZY=FUZZY)) + fs-compress: Automatically detect whether input is compressed or not. Prefix the compression algorithm with "maybe-" to enable the detection, for example: "compress:maybe-gz:6:..." + Added settings to change dovecot.index* files' optimization behavior. See https://wiki2.dovecot.org/IndexFiles#Settings + Auth cache can now utilize auth workers to do password hash verification by setting auth_cache_verify_password_with_worker=yes. + Added charset_alias plugin. See https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/CharsetAlias + imap_logout_format and pop3_logout_format settings now support all of the generic variables (e.g. %{rip}, %{session}, etc.) -- Aki Tuomi Dovecot oy

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.23 for Dovecot v2.2.35.
by Stephan Bosch 20 Mar '18

20 Mar '18

Hello Dovecot users, Here is a new Pigeonhole release that goes with the new Dovecot v2.2.35 release. This release is not strictly necessary, as previous versions should be usable as well. This release only contains bug fixes. However, considering the rather nasty editheader bug that emerged in the previous release, upgrade is recommended. Changelog v0.4.23: - editheader extension: Corrected the stream position calculations performed while making the modified message available as a stream. Pigeonhole Sieve crashed in LMTP with an assertion panic when the Sieve editheader extension was used before the message was redirected. Experiments indicate that the problem occurred only with LMTP and that LDA is not affected. - fileinto extension: Fix assert panic occurring when fileinto is used without being listed in the require line, while the copy extension is listed there. This is a very old bug. - imapsieve plugin: Do not log an error for messages that disappear concurrently while applying Sieve scripts. This is a further improvement on the imapsieve fix in the previous release (which fixed a panic). This event is now logged as a debug message. The release is available as follows: https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.23.t… https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.23.t… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x wiki for more information.

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.22 for Dovecot v2.2.34.
by Stephan Bosch 01 Mar '18

01 Mar '18

Hello Dovecot users, Here is a new Pigeonhole release that goes with the new Dovecot v2.2.34 release. This release is not strictly necessary, as previous versions should be usable as well. This release only contains bugfixes. Changelog v0.4.22: - Fixed filesystem path handling problem: sieve plugin could have assert-crashed with specific path lengths with: "Panic: file realpath.c: line 86 (path_normalize): assertion failed: (npath_pos + 1 < npath + asize)". - Sieve extprograms plugin: Large output from "execute" command crashed delivery. Fixed buffering issue in code that handles output from the external program. - editheader extension: Extensively reworked the low-level implementation of adding and removing headers. This solves a few integer arithmetic problems reported by Clang runtime checks, but also improves code structure and reliability in general. - imapsieve: Fix assert crash occurring when selected messages are expunged concurrently by the time Sieve filter is to be applied. - imap4flags extension: Fix binary byte-code corruption occurring when the setflag, addflag, or removeflag command's flag-list is a variable. - enotify extension: mailto method: Fixed parsing of mailto URI with only a header part. - enotify extension: mailto method: Make sure "From:" header is set to a usable address and not "(null)". - Fixed writing address headers to outgoing messages. It sometimes erroneously applied another layer of MIME header encoding. The release is available as follows: https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.22.t… https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.22.t… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x wiki for more information.

https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.0.1.tar.gz https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.0.1.tar.gz.sig Small patch release to fix the worst bugs in v2.3.0. v2.3.1 is coming in about a month with a lot more changes. * CVE-2017-15130: TLS SNI config lookups may lead to excessive memory usage, causing imap-login/pop3-login VSZ limit to be reached and the process restarted. This happens only if Dovecot config has local_name { } or local { } configuration blocks and attacker uses randomly generated SNI servernames. * CVE-2017-14461: Parsing invalid email addresses may cause a crash or leak memory contents to attacker. For example, these memory contents might contain parts of an email from another user if the same imap process is reused for multiple users. First discovered by Aleksandar Nikolic of Cisco Talos. Independently also discovered by "flxflndy" via HackerOne. * CVE-2017-15132: Aborted SASL authentication leaks memory in login process. * Linux: Core dumping is no longer enabled by default via PR_SET_DUMPABLE, because this may allow attackers to bypass chroot/group restrictions. Found by cPanel Security Team. Nowadays core dumps can be safely enabled by using "sysctl -w fs.suid_dumpable=2". If the old behaviour is wanted, it can still be enabled by setting: import_environment=$import_environment PR_SET_DUMPABLE=1 - imap-login with SSL/TLS connections may end up in infinite loop

NOTE: Folder creates, renames, deletes and subscribes still trigger unnecessary replication notifications, but these should be rather rare. - mail_always/never_cache_fields setting changes weren't applied for existing dovecot.index.cache files. - Fix compiling and other problems with OpenSSL v1.1 - auth policy: With master user logins, lookup using login username. - FTS reindexed all mails unnecessarily after loss of dovecot.index.cache file - mdbox rebuild repeatedly fails with "missing map extension" - SSL connections may have been hanging with imapc or doveadm client. - cassandra: Using protocol v3 (Cassandra v2.1) caused memory leaks and also timestamps weren't set to queries. - fs-crypt silently ignored public/private keys specified in configuration (mail_crypt_global_public/private_key) and just emitted plaintext output. - lock_method=dotlock caused crashes - imapc: Reconnection may cause crashes and other errors

by Stephan Bosch 05 Jan '18

05 Jan '18

Hello Dovecot users, This is a bugfix release to mend some problems that were found in v0.5.0. The imap4flags bug is actually not first seen in the 0.5.0 release (it is ancient), but I included the fix for it anyway. Changelog v0.5.0.1: - imap4flags extension: Fix binary corruption occurring when setflag/addflag/removeflag flag-list is a variable. - sieve-extprograms plugin: Fix segfault occurring when used in IMAPSieve context. The release is available as follows: https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3-pigeonhole-0.5.0.1.… https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3-pigeonhole-0.5.0.1.… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x wiki for more information.

Released Pigeonhole v0.5.0 for Dovecot v2.3.0.
by Stephan Bosch 24 Dec '17

24 Dec '17

Hello Dovecot users, Here's the definitive 0.5.0 release. There is one RC fix regarding the duplicate presence of the session ID in the LMTP/LDA log lines produced by the Sieve interpreter. Since this change is relative to the RC, it is not in the change log below. Changelog v0.5.0: * editheader extension: The implementation of header modifications is heavily updated. Although the functionality has not changed, the underlying code was updated to address several static analysis warnings, runtime integer arithmetic warnings (Clang), and to match updates in the Dovecot stream API. + variables extension: Made the maximum scope and variable size configurable. + subaddress: Support multiple recipient_delimiters. - enotify extension: mailto method: Fixed parsing of mailto URI with only a header part. - enotify plugin: mailto method: Make sure the "From:" header is set to a usable address and not "(null)". - Fixed writing address headers to outgoing messages. Sometimes headers were MIME-encoded twice, yielding invalid results. The release is available as follows: https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3-pigeonhole-0.5.0.ta… https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3-pigeonhole-0.5.0.ta… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x wiki for more information.

v2.3.0 released
by Timo Sirainen 22 Dec '17

22 Dec '17

https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.0.tar.gz https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.0.tar.gz.sig Some random notes: - This release is signed with a new PGP key 0x18A348AEED409DA1 (which is signed by the old key). - This fixes several compiling issues reported for the 2.3 release candidate. Also a few other fixes mainly for submission server and doveadm server. - We're still planning to make at least one (or two) more v2.2.x release before retiring it. It's now time for Christmas holidays though, so the next release will have to wait until the end of January. - We'll start distributing v2.3.x releases in apt/yum repositories in near future. There will be a separate email about it. Some repetition from the release candidate's announcement: There are several new and exciting features in v2.3.0. I'm especially happy about the new logging and statistics code, which will allow us to generate statistics for just about everything. We didn't have time to implement everything we wanted for them yet, and there especially aren't all that many logging events yet that can be used for statistics. We'll implement those to v2.3.1, which might also mean that some of the APIs might still change in v2.3.1 if that's required. We also have new lib-smtp server code, which was used to implement SMTP submission server and do a partial rewrite for LMTP server. Some of the larger changes: * Various setting changes, see https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Upgrading/2.3 * Logging rewrite started: Logging is now based on hierarchical events. This makes it possible to do various things, like: 1) giving consistent log prefixes, 2) enabling debug logging with finer granularity, 3) provide logs in more machine readable formats (e.g. json). Everything isn't finished yet, especially a lot of the old logging code still needs to be translated to the new way. * Statistics rewrite started: Stats are now based on (log) events. It's possible to gather statistics about any event that is logged. See http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Statistics for details * ssl_dh setting replaces the old generated ssl-parameters.dat * IMAP: When BINARY FETCH finds a broken mails, send [PARSE] error instead of [UNKNOWNCTE] * Linux: core dumping via PR_SET_DUMPABLE is no longer enabled by default due to potential security reasons (found by cPanel Security Team). + Added support for SMTP submission proxy server, which includes support for BURL and CHUNKING extension. + LMTP rewrite. Supports now CHUNKING extension and mixing of local/proxy recipients. + auth: Support libsodium to add support for ARGON2I and ARGON2ID password schemes. + auth: Support BLF-CRYPT password scheme in all platforms + auth: Added LUA scripting support for passdb/userdb. See https://wiki2.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/Lua - Input streams are more reliable now when there are errors or when the maximum buffer size is reached. Previously in some situations this could have caused Dovecot to try to read already freed memory. - Output streams weren't previously handling failures when writing a trailer at the end of the stream. This mainly affected encrypt and zlib compress ostreams, which could have silently written truncated files if the last write happened to fail (which shouldn't normally have ever happened). - virtual plugin: Fixed panic when fetching mails from virtual mailboxes with IMAP BINARY extension. - doveadm-server: Fix potential hangs with SSL connections - doveadm proxy: Reading commands' output from v2.2.33+ servers could have caused the output to be corrupted or caused a crash. - Many other smaller fixes

Released Pigeonhole v0.5.0.rc1 for Dovecot v2.3.0.rc1.
by Stephan Bosch 18 Dec '17

Hello Dovecot users, Here is the Pigeonhole release candidate that goes with the Dovecot v2.3 release candidate. Of course, a large part of this release consists of compatibility changes for Dovecot v2.3. Apart from that, not much changed, just a few additions and fixes that accumulated over the last few months. Most of these changes will be back-ported to Pigeonhole v0.4, but that release will happen a little later. Changelog v0.5.0: * editheader extension: The implementation of header modifications is heavily updated. Although the functionality has not changed, the underlying code was updated to address several static analysis warnings, runtime integer arithmetic warnings (Clang), and to match updates in the Dovecot stream API. + variables extension: Made the maximum scope and variable size configurable. + subaddress: Support multiple recipient_delimiters. - enotify extension: mailto method: Fixed parsing of mailto URI with only a header part. - enotify plugin: mailto method: Make sure the "From:" header is set to a usable address and not "(null)". - Fixed writing address headers to outgoing messages.

There are several new and exciting features in it. I'm especially happy about the new logging and statistics code, which will allow us to generate statistics for just about everything.

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.21 for Dovecot v2.2.33.1.
by Stephan Bosch 13 Oct '17

13 Oct '17

Hello Dovecot users, Here's the definitive 0.4.21 release. There were no changes since the release candidate. Changelog v0.4.21: * redirect action: Always set the X-Sieve-Redirected-From header to sieve_user_email if configured. Before, it would use the envelope recipient instead if available, which makes no sense if the primary e-mail address is available. + vacation extension: Allow ignoring the envelope sender while composing the "To:" header for the reply. Normally, the "To:" header is composed from the address found in the "Sender", "Resent-From" or "From" headers that is equal to the envelope sender. If none is then found, the bare envelope sender is used. This change adds a new setting "sieve_vacation_to_header_ignore_envelope". With this setting enabled, the "To:" header is always composed from those headers in the source message. The new setting thus allows ignoring the envelope, which is useful e.g. when SRS is used. + vacation extension: Compose the "To:" header from the full sender address found in the first "Sender:", "From:" or "Resent-From:" header. Before, it would create a "To:" header without a phrase part. The new behavior is nicer, since the reply will be addressed to the sender by name if possible. - LDA Sieve plugin: Fixed sequential execution of LDAP-based scripts. A missing LDAP-based script could cause the script sequence to exit earlier. - sieve-filter: Removed the (now) duplicate utf8 to mutf7 mailbox name conversion. This caused problems with mailbox names containing UTF-8 characters. The Dovecot API was changed years ago, but apparently sieve-filter was never updated. The release is available as follows: https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.21.t… https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.21.t… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x wiki for more information.

Hopefully we'll have the first v2.3 beta releases out soon. * doveadm director commands wait for the changes to be visible in the whole ring before they return. This is especially useful in testing. * Environments listed in import_environment setting are now set or preserved when executing standalone commands (e.g. doveadm) + doveadm proxy: Support proxying logs. Previously the logs were visible only in the backend's logs. + Added %{if}, see https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Variables#Conditionals + Added a new notify_status plugin, which can be used to update dict with current status of a mailbox when it changes. See https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/NotifyStatus + Mailbox list index can be disabled for a namespace by appending ":LISTINDEX=" to location setting. + dsync/imapc: Added dsync_hashed_headers setting to specify which headers are used to match emails. + pop3-migration: Add pop3_migration_ignore_extra_uidls=yes to ignore mails that are visible in POP3 but not IMAP. This could happen if new mails were delivered during the migration run. + pop3-migration: Further improvements to help with Zimbra + pop3-migration: Cache POP3 UIDLs in imapc's dovecot.index.cache if indexes are enabled. These are used to optimize incremental syncs. + cassandra, dict-sql: Use prepared statements if protocol version>3. + auth: Added %{ldap_dn} variable for passdb/userdb ldap - acl: The "create" (k) permission in global acl-file was sometimes ignored, allowing users to create mailboxes when they shouldn't have. - sdbox: Mails were always opened when expunging, unless mail_attachment_fs was explicitly set to empty. - lmtp/doveadm proxy: hostip passdb field was ignored, which caused unnecessary DNS lookups if host field wasn't an IP - lmtp proxy: Fix crash when receiving unexpected reply in RCPT TO - quota_clone: Update also when quota is unlimited (broken in v2.2.31) - mbox, zlib: Fix assert-crash when accessing compressed mbox - doveadm director kick -f parameter didn't work - doveadm director flush <host> resulted flushing all hosts, if <host> wasn't an IP address. - director: Various fixes to handling backend/director changes at abnormal times, especially while ring was unsynced. These could have resulted in crashes, non-optimal behavior or ignoring some of the changes. - director: Use less CPU in imap-login processes when moving/kicking many users. - lmtp: Session IDs were duplicated/confusing with multiple RCPT TOs when lmtp_rcpt_check_quota=yes - doveadm sync -1 fails when local mailboxes exist that do not exist remotely. This commonly happened when lazy_expunge mailbox was autocreated when incremental sync expunged mails. - pop3: rawlog_dir setting didn't work

These are used to optimize incremental syncs. + cassandra, dict-sql: Use prepared statements if protocol version>3. - sdbox: Mails were always opened when expunging, unless mail_attachment_fs was explicitly set to empty. - lmtp/doveadm proxy: hostip passdb field was ignored, which caused unnecessary DNS lookups if host field wasn't an IP - lmtp proxy: Fix crash when receiving unexpected reply in RCPT TO - quota_clone: Update also when quota is unlimited (broken in v2.2.31) - mbox, zlib: Fix assert-crash when accessing compressed mbox - doveadm director kick -f parameter didn't work - doveadm director flush <host> resulted flushing all hosts, if <host> wasn't an IP address. - director: Various fixes to handling backend/director changes at abnormal times, especially while ring was unsynced. These could have resulted in crashes, non-optimal behavior or ignoring some of the changes. - director: Use less CPU in imap-login processes when moving/kicking many users. - lmtp: Session IDs were duplicated/confusing with multiple RCPT TOs when lmtp_rcpt_check_quota=yes - doveadm sync -1 fails when local mailboxes exist that do not exist remotely. This commonly happened when lazy_expunge mailbox was autocreated when incremental sync expunged mails.

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.20 for Dovecot v2.2.32.
by Stephan Bosch 27 Aug '17

27 Aug '17

Hello Dovecot users, Here's the definitive 0.4.20 release. There were no changes since the release candidate. Changelog v0.4.20: + Made the retention period for redirect duplicate identifiers configurable. For accounts that perform many redirects, the lda-dupes database could grow to impractical sizes. Changed the default retention period from 24 to 12 hours. - sieve-filter: Fixed memory leak: forgot to clean up script binary at end of execution. Normally, this would merely be an inconsequential memory leak. However, when the script comes from an LDAP storage, this would cause io leak warnings. - managesieve-login: Fixed handling of AUTHENTICATE command. A second authenticate command would be parsed wrong. This problem was caused by changes in the previous release. - LDA Sieve plugin: Fixed minor memory leak caused by not cleaning up the sieve_discard script. The release is available as follows: https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.20.t… https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.20.t… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x wiki for more information. Have fun testing this release and don't hesitate to notify me when there are any problems. Regards, -- Stephan Bosch stephan(a)rename-it.nl

v2.2.32 released
by Timo Sirainen 24 Aug '17

24 Aug '17

https://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.32.tar.gz https://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.32.tar.gz.sig Two more fixes since rc2. And repeating: There are various changes in this release that can be used to significantly reduce disk IO with: 1) NFS storage especially, but I guess also other remote filesystems and even some with local disks 2) When mail storage and INDEX storage are separated * imapc: Info-level line is logged every time when successfully connected to the remote server. This includes local/remote IP/port, which can be useful for matching against external logs. * config: Log a warning if plugin { key=no } is used explicitly. v2.3 will support "no" properly in plugin settings, but for now any value at all for a boolean plugin setting is treated as "yes", even if it's written as explicit "no". This change will now warn that it most likely won't work as intended. + Various optimizations to avoid accessing files/directories when it's not necessary. Especially avoid accessing mail root directories when INDEX directories point to a different filesystem. + mail_location can now include ITERINDEX parameter. This tells Dovecot to perform mailbox listing from the INDEX path instead of from the mail root path. It's mainly useful when the INDEX storage is on a faster storage. + mail_location can now include VOLATILEDIR=<path> parameter. This is used for creating lock files and in future potentially other files that don't need to exist permanently. The path could point to tmpfs for example. This is especially useful to avoid creating lock files to NFS or other remote filesystems. For example: mail_location=sdbox:~/sdbox:VOLATILEDIR=/tmp/volatile/%2.256Nu/%u + mail_location's LISTINDEX=<path> can now contain a full path. This allows storing mailbox list index to a different storage than the rest of the indexes, for example to tmpfs. + mail_location can now include NO-NOSELECT parameter. This automatically deletes any \NoSelect mailboxes that have no children. These mailboxes are sometimes confusing to users. + mail_location can now include BROKENCHAR=<char> parameter. This can be useful with imapc to access mailbox names that aren't valid mUTF-7 charset from remote servers. + If mailbox_list_index_very_dirty_syncs=yes, the list index is no longer refreshed against filesystem when listing mailboxes. This allows the mailbox listing to be done entirely by only reading the mailbox list index. + Added mailbox_list_index_include_inbox setting to control whether INBOX's STATUS information should be cached in the mailbox list index. The default is "no", but it may be useful to change it to "yes", especially if LISTINDEX points to tmpfs. + userdb can return chdir=<path>, which override mail_home for the chdir location. This can be useful to avoid accessing home directory on login. + userdb can return postlogin=<socket> to specify per-user imap/pop3 postlogin socket path. + cassandra: Add support for result paging by adding page_size=<n> parameter to the connect setting. + dsync/imapc, pop3-migration plugin: Strip also trailing tabs from headers when matching mails. This helps with migrations from Zimbra. + imap_logout_format supports now %{appended} and %{autoexpunged} + virtual plugin: Optimize IDLE to use mailbox list index for finding out when something has changed. + Added apparmor plugin. See https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Apparmor - virtual plugin: A lot of fixes. In many cases it was also working very inefficiently or even incorrectly. - imap: NOTIFY parameter parsing was incorrectly "fixed" in v2.2.31. It was actually (mostly) working in previous versions, but broken in v2.2.31. - Modseq tracking didn't always work correctly. This could have caused imap unhibernation to fail or IMAP QRESYNC/CONDSTORE extensions to not work perfectly. - mdbox: "Inconsistency in map index" wasn't fixed automatically - dict-ldap: %variable values used in the LDAP filter weren't escaped. - quota=count: quota_warning = -storage=.. was never executed (try #2). v2.2.31 fixed it for -messages, but not for -storage. - imapc: >= 32 kB mail bodies were supposed to be cached for subsequent FETCHes, but weren't. - quota-status service didn't support recipient_delimiter - acl: Don't access dovecot-acl-list files with acl_globals_only=yes - mail_location: If INDEX dir is set, mailbox deletion deletes its childrens' indexes. For example if "box" is deleted, "box/child" index directory was deleted as well (but mails were preserved). - director: v2.2.31 caused rapid reconnection loops to directors that were down.

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.19 for Dovecot v2.2.31.
by Stephan Bosch 26 Jun '17

26 Jun '17

Hello Dovecot users, Here's the definitive 0.4.19 release. There is one additional fix. Changelog v0.4.19: * This release adjusts Pigeonhole to several changes in the Dovecot API, making it depend on Dovecot v2.2.31. Previous versions of Pigeonhole will produce compile warnings with the recent Dovecot releases (but still work ok). - Fixed bug in handling of implicit keep in some cases. Implicit side-effects, such as assigned flags, were not always applied correctly. This is in essence a very old bug, but it was exposed by recent changes. - include extension: Fixed segfault that (sometimes) occurred when the global script location was left unconfigured. The release is available as follows: https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.19.t… https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.19.t… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x wiki for more information.

This caused some of the ACL rule interactions to not work exactly as intended. - auth: forward_* fields didn't work properly: Only the first forward field was working, and only if the first passdb lookup succeeded. - Using mail_sort_max_read_count sometimes caused "Broken sort-* indexes, resetting" errors. - Using mail_sort_max_read_count may have caused very high CPU usage. - Message address parsing could have crashed on invalid input. - imapc_features=fetch-headers wasn't always working correctly and caused the full header to be fetched. - imapc: Various bugfixes related to connection failure handling. - quota=imapc sent unnecessary FETCH RFC822.SIZE to server when expunging mails. - quota=count: quota_warning = -storage=.. was never executed - quota=count: Add support for "ns" parameter - dsync: Fix incremental syncing for mails that don't have Date or Message-ID headers. - imap: Fix hang when client sends pipelined SEARCH + EXPUNGE/CLOSE/LOGOUT. - oauth2: Token validation didn't accept empty server responses. - imap: NOTIFY command has been almost completely broken since the beginning. I guess nobody has been trying to use it.

So fixing it here with v2.2.30.1. Also included another less important fix. - quota_warning scripts weren't working in v2.2.30 - vpopmail still wasn't compiling Also I guess should mention that in v2.2.30+ the "script" service's protocol changed to a new version. If anyone had written their own script services (not using the included "script" binary) they would need some changes. I haven't heard of anyone having done that though.

https://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.29.1.tar.gz https://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.29.1.tar.gz.sig Mainly because I had missed one cherry-pick from the release, which caused unit tests to also fail. And I didn't notice that, because make distcheck had been broken for some years now when it ran clang static analyzer, although I had assumed it would have run make check already before it failed.. On a related note, we're looking for a test engineer :) http://avoimettyopaikat.monster.fi/v2/job/View?JobID=182881783 - imapc reconnection fix was forgotten from 2.2.29 release, which also made "make check" fail in a unit test - dict-sql: Merging multiple UPDATEs to a single statement wasn't actually working. - Fixed building with vpopmail

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.18 for Dovecot v2.2.29.
by Stephan Bosch 12 Apr '17

12 Apr '17

Hello Dovecot users, Here's the definitive 0.4.18 release. There were no changes since the release candidate. Changelog v0.4.18: + imapsieve plugin: Implemented the copy_source_after rule action. When this is enabled for a mailbox rule, the specified Sieve script is executed for the message in the source mailbox during a "COPY" event. This happens only after the Sieve script that is executed for the corresponding message in the destination mailbox finishes running successfully. + imapsieve plugin: Added non-standard Sieve environment items for the source and destination mailbox. - multiscript: The execution of the discard script had an implicit "keep", rather than an implicit "discard". The release is available as follows: https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.18.t… https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.18.t… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x wiki for more information.

CVSS: 6.5 (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H) Vulnerable versions: 2.2.26 - 2.2.28 Fixed version(s): 2.2.29 Broken by a3783f8a3c9cd816b51e77a922f82301512fcf22 Fixed by 000030feb7a30f193197f1aab8a7b04a26b42735 Dovecot supports "dict" passdb and userdb: https://wiki2.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/Dict When these were used for user authentication, the username sent by the IMAP/POP3 client was sent through var_expand() to perform %variable expansion. Sending specially crafted %variable fields could result in excessive memory usage causing the process to crash (and restart), or excessive CPU usage causing all authentications to hang. Excessive memory usage could be done with e.g. %09999999999u as the username. Because by default Dovecot limits the auth process's VSZ and exits on any memory allocation failure, the auth process typically dies afterwards and is immediately restarted. This may result in some user authentications getting temporary internal failures. Excessive CPU usage could be done with %{pkcs5;rounds=100000000:user} variable introduced in v2.2.27. Please use this https://github.com/dovecot/core/commit/000030feb7a30f193197f1aab8a7b04a26b4… to fix this issue, it should be applicable to older versions too. Please let us know if you need assistance in patching. --- Aki Tuomi Dovecot oy

https://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.29.tar.gz https://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.29.tar.gz.sig * passdb/userdb dict: Don't double-expand %variables in keys. If dict was used as the authentication passdb, using specially crafted %variables in the username could be used to cause DoS (CVE-2017-2669) * When Dovecot encounters an internal error, it logs the real error and usually logs another line saying what function failed. Previously the second log line's error message was a rather uninformative "Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information." Now the real error message is duplicated in this second log line. * lmtp: If a delivery has multiple recipients, run autoexpunging only for the last recipient. This avoids a problem where a long autoexpunge run causes LMTP client to timeout between the DATA replies, resulting in duplicate mail deliveries. * config: Don't stop the process due to idling. Otherwise the configuration is reloaded when the process restarts. * mail_log plugin: Differentiate autoexpunges from regular expunges * imapc: Use LOGOUT to cleanly disconnect from server. * lib-http: Internal status codes (>9000) are no longer visible in logs * director: Log vhost count changes and HOST-UP/DOWN + quota: Add plugin { quota_max_mail_size } setting to limit the maximum individual mail size that can be saved. + imapc: Add imapc_features=delay-login. If set, connecting to the remote IMAP server isn't done until it's necessary. + imapc: Add imapc_connection_retry_count and imapc_connection_retry_interval settings. + imap, pop3, indexer-worker: Add (deinit) to process title before autoexpunging runs. + Added %{encrypt} and %{decrypt} variables + imap/pop3 proxy: Log proxy state in errors as human-readable string. + imap/pop3-login: All forward_* extra fields returned by passdb are sent to the next hop when proxying using ID/XCLIENT commands. On the receiving side these fields are imported and sent to auth process where they're accessible via %{passdb:forward_*}. This is done only if the sending IP address matches login_trusted_networks. + imap-login: If imap_id_retain=yes, send the IMAP ID string to auth process. %{client_id} expands to it in auth process.

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.18.rc1 for Dovecot v2.2.29.rc1.
by Stephan Bosch 09 Apr '17

09 Apr '17

Hello Dovecot users, This is a rather small release. It fixes one important bug in the new discard script feature. It also adds a couple of new features for IMAPSieve. Changelog v0.4.18: + imapsieve plugin: Implemented the copy_source_after rule action. When this is enabled for a mailbox rule, the specified Sieve script is executed for the message in the source mailbox during a "COPY" event. This happens only after the Sieve script that is executed for the corresponding message in the destination mailbox finishes running successfully. + imapsieve plugin: Added non-standard Sieve environment items for the source and destination mailbox. - multiscript: The execution of the discard script had an implicit "keep", rather than an implicit "discard". The release is available as follows: http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.18… http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.18… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x wiki for more information. Have fun testing this release candidate and don't hesitate to notify me when there are any problems. Regards, -- Stephan Bosch stephan(a)rename-it.nl

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.17 for Dovecot v2.2.28.
by Stephan Bosch 27 Feb '17

27 Feb '17

Hello Dovecot users, Here's the definitive 0.4.17 release. There were no changes since the release candidate. Changelog v0.4.17: - LDA Sieve plugin: Fixed handling of an early explicit keep during multiscript execution. Action side-effects and the message snapshot would be lost at the final stage where the implicit keep is evaluated. This could result in the IMAP flags assigned to the message to be forgotten or that headers modified by the "editheader" extension would revert to their original state. - file script storage: Amended the up-to-date time stamp comparison for on-disk binaries to include nanoseconds. This will fix problems occurring when both binary and script are saved within the same second. This fix is ineffective on older systems that have no support for nanoseconds in stat() timestamps, which should be pretty rare nowadays. - file script storage: Improve saving and listing permission error to include more details. - imapsieve plugin: Make sure "INBOX" is upper case in static mailbox rules. Otherwise, the mailbox name would never match, since matching is performed case-sensitively and Dovecot only returns the upper-cased "INBOX". - imapsieve plugin: Fixed assert failure occurring when used with virtual mailboxes. - doveadm sieve plugin: Fixed crash when setting Sieve script via attribute's string value. The release is available as follows: http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.17.ta… http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.17.ta… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x wiki for more information.

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.17.rc1 for Dovecot v2.2.28.rc1.
by Stephan Bosch 21 Feb '17

21 Feb '17

Hello Dovecot users, Several bugs were found in the course of the last few months, but no new features were created. So, this will be strictly a bug-fixing release. The previous Pigeonhole release should still work with the new Dovecot release, which means you are not required to upgrade. However, my advice would be to upgrade once this release candidate matures into a final release, since at least the first bug listed below is pretty severe. Changelog v0.4.17: - LDA Sieve plugin: Fixed handling of an early explicit keep during multiscript execution. Action side-effects and the message snapshot would be lost at the final stage where the implicit keep is evaluated. This could result in the IMAP flags assigned to the message to be forgotten or that headers modified by the "editheader" extension would revert to their original state. - file script storage: Amended the up-to-date time stamp comparison for on-disk binaries to include nanoseconds. This will fix problems occurring when both binary and script are saved within the same second. This fix is ineffective on older systems that have no support for nanoseconds in stat() timestamps, which should be pretty rare nowadays. - file script storage: Improve saving and listing permission error to include more details. - imapsieve plugin: Make sure "INBOX" is upper case in static mailbox rules. Otherwise, the mailbox name would never match, since matching is performed case-sensitively and Dovecot only returns the upper-cased "INBOX". - imapsieve plugin: Fixed assert failure occurring when used with virtual mailboxes. - doveadm sieve plugin: Fixed crash when setting Sieve script via attribute's string value.

See http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/MailCrypt + stats: Global stats can be sent to Carbon server by setting stats_carbon_server=ip:port + imap/pop3 proxy: If passdb returns proxy_not_trusted, don't send ID/XCLIENT + Added generic hash modifier for %variables: %{<hash algorithm>;rounds=<n>,truncate=<bits>,salt=s>:field} Hash algorithm is any of the supported ones, e.g. md5, sha1, sha256. Also "pkcs5" is supported using SHA256. For example: %{sha256:user} or %{md5;truncate=32:user}. + Added support for SHA3-256 and SHA3-512 hashes. + config: Support DNS wildcards in local_name, e.g. local_name *.example.com { .. } matches anything.example.com, but not multiple.anything.example.com. + config: Support multiple names in local_name, e.g. local_name "1.example.com 2.example.com" { .. } - Fixed crash in auth process when auth-policy was configured and authentication was aborted/failed without a username set. - director: If two users had different tags but the same hash, the users may have been redirected to the wrong tag's hosts. - Index files may have been thought incorrectly lost, causing "Missing middle file seq=.." to be logged and index rebuild. This happened more easily with IMAP hibernation enabled. - Various fixes to restoring state correctly in un-hibernation. - dovecot.index files were commonly 4 bytes per email too large. This is because 3 bytes per email were being wasted that could have been used for IMAP keywords. - Various fixes to handle dovecot.list.index corruption better. - lib-fts: Fixed assert-crash in address tokenizer with specific input. - Fixed assert-crash in HTML to text parsing with specific input (e.g. for FTS indexing or snippet generation) - doveadm sync -1: Fixed handling mailbox GUID conflicts. - sdbox, mdbox: Perform full index rebuild if corruption is detected inside lib-index, which runs index fsck. - quota: Don't skip quota checks when moving mails between different quota roots. - search: Multiple sequence sets or UID sets in search parameters weren't handled correctly. They were incorrectly merged together.

For example: %{sha256:user} or %{md5;truncate=32:user}. + Added support for SHA3-256 and SHA3-512 hashes. + config: Support DNS wildcards in local_name, e.g. local_name *.example.com { .. } matches anything.example.com, but not multiple.anything.example.com. - Fixed crash in auth process when auth-policy was configured and authentication was aborted/failed without a username set. - director: If two users had different tags but the same hash, the users may have been redirected to the wrong tag's hosts. - Index files may have been thought incorrectly lost, causing "Missing middle file seq=.." to be logged and index rebuild. This happened more easily with IMAP hibernation enabled. - Various fixes to restoring state correctly in un-hibernation. - dovecot.index files were commonly 4 bytes per email too large. This is because 3 bytes per email were being wasted that could have been used for IMAP keywords. - Various fixes to handle dovecot.list.index corruption better. - lib-fts: Fixed assert-crash in address tokenizer with specific input. - Fixed assert-crash in HTML to text parsing with specific input (e.g. for FTS indexing or snippet generation) - doveadm sync -1: Fixed handling mailbox GUID conflicts. - sdbox, mdbox: Perform full index rebuild if corruption is detected inside lib-index, which runs index fsck.

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.16 for Dovecot v2.2.26.0.
by Stephan Bosch 01 Nov '16

01 Nov '16

Hello Dovecot users, Here's the definitive 0.4.16 release. There were no changes since the release candidate. The reported replication issues are still open, since we haven't been able to reproduce them so far. Changelog v0.4.16: * Part of the Sieve extprograms implementation was moved to Dovecot, which means that this release depends on Dovecot v2.2.26+. * ManageSieve: The PUTSCRIPT command now allows uploading empty Sieve scripts. There was really no good reason to disallow doing that. + Sieve vnd.dovecot.report extension: + Added a Dovecot-Reporting-User field to the report body, which contains the e-mail address of the user sending the report. + Added support for configuring the "From:" address used in the report. + LDA sieve plugin: Implemented support for a "discard script" that is run when the message is going to be discarded. This allows doing something other than throwing the message away for good. + Sieve vnd.dovecot.environment extension: Added vnd.dovecot.config.* environment items. These environment items map to sieve_env_* settings from the plugin {} section in the configuration. Such values can of course also be returned from userdb. + Sieve vacation extension: Use the Microsoft X-Auto-Response-Suppress header to prevent unwanted responses from and to (older) Microsoft products. + ManageSieve: Added rawlog_dir setting to store ManageSieve traffic logs. This replaces at least partially the rawlog plugin (mimics similar IMAP/POP3 change). - doveadm sieve plugin: synchronization: Prevent setting file timestamps to unix epoch time. This occurred when Dovecot passed the timestamp as 'unknown' during synchronization. - Sieve exprograms plugin: Fixed spurious '+' sometimes returned at the end of socket-based program output. - imapsieve plugin: Fixed crash occurring in specific situations. - Performed various fixes based on static analysis and Clang warnings. The release is available as follows: http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.16.ta… http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.16.ta… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x wiki for more information. Have fun testing this release and don't hesitate to notify me when there are any problems. Regards, -- Stephan Bosch stephan(a)rename-it.nl

28 Oct '16

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.26.0.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.26.0.tar.gz.sig v2.2.26 had a couple of nasty bugs left in it, so here's a fixup release. The version number is also a little bit weird, but had to be done this way (although 2.2.26.0.1 could have been another possibility). - Fixed some compiling issues. - auth: Fixed assert-crash when using NTLM or SKEY mechanisms and multiple passdbs. - auth: Fixed crash when exporting to auth-worker passdb extra fields that had empty values. - dsync: Fixed assert-crash in dsync_brain_sync_mailbox_deinit

27 Oct '16

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.26.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.26.tar.gz.sig There were some changes since rc1: https://github.com/dovecot/core/commit/54d654098032d96975b70749b505fae538e9… Mainly there are quite a lot of director fixes and improvements. Here's the full list of changes: * master: Removed hardcoded 511 backlog limit for listen(). The kernel should limit this as needed. * doveadm import: Source user is now initialized the same as target user. Added -U parameter to override the source user. * Mailbox names are no longer limited to 16 hierarchy levels. We'll check another way to make sure mailbox names can't grow larger than 4096 bytes. + Added a concept of "alternative usernames" by returning user_* extra field(s) in passdb. doveadm proxy list shows these alt usernames in "doveadm proxy list" output. "doveadm director&proxy kick" adds -f <passdb field> parameter. The alt usernames don't have to be unique, so this allows creation of user groups and kicking them in one command. + auth: passdb/userdb dict allows now %variables in key settings. + auth: If passdb returns noauthenticate=yes extra field, assume that it only set extra fields and authentication wasn't actually performed. + auth: passdb static now supports password={scheme} prefix. + auth, login_log_format_elements: Added %{local_name} variable, which expands to TLS SNI hostname if given. + imapc: Added imapc_max_line_length to limit maximum memory usage. + imap, pop3: Added rawlog_dir setting to store IMAP/POP3 traffic logs. This replaces at least partially the rawlog plugin. + dsync: Added dsync_features=empty-header-workaround setting. This makes incremental dsyncs work better for servers that randomly return empty headers for mails. When an empty header is seen for an existing mail, dsync assumes that it matches the local mail. + doveadm sync/backup: Added -I <max size> parameter to skip too large mails. + doveadm sync/backup: Fixed -t parameter and added -e for "end date". + doveadm mailbox metadata: Added -s parameter to allow accessing server metadata by using empty mailbox name. + Added "doveadm service status" and "doveadm process status" commands. + director: Added director_flush_socket. See http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Director#Flush_socket + doveadm director flush: Users are now moved only max 100 at a time to avoid load spikes. --max-parallel parameter overrides this. + Added FILE_LOCK_SLOW_WARNING_MSECS environment, which logs a warning if any lock is waited on or kept for this many milliseconds. - master process's listener socket was leaked to all child processes. This might have allowed untrusted processes to capture and prevent "doveadm service stop" comands from working. - login proxy: Fixed crash when outgoing SSL connections were hanging. - auth: userdb fields weren't passed to auth-workers, so %{userdb:*} from previous userdbs didn't work there. - auth: Each userdb lookup from cache reset its TTL. - auth: Fixed auth_bind=yes + sasl_bind=yes to work together - auth: Blocking userdb lookups reset extra fields set by previous userdbs. - auth: Cache keys didn't include %{passdb:*} and %{userdb:*} - auth-policy: Fixed crash due to using already-freed memory if policy lookup takes longer than auth request exists. - lib-auth: Unescape passdb/userdb extra fields. Mainly affected returning extra fields with LFs or TABs. - lmtp_user_concurrency_limit>0 setting was logging unnecessary anvil errors. - lmtp_user_concurrency_limit is now checked before quota check with lmtp_rcpt_check_quota=yes to avoid unnecessary quota work. - lmtp: %{userdb:*} variables didn't work in mail_log_prefix - autoexpunge settings for mailboxes with wildcards didn't work when namespace prefix was non-empty. - Fixed writing >2GB to iostream-temp files (used by fs-compress, fs-metawrap, doveadm-http) - director: Ignore duplicates in director_servers setting. - director: Many fixes related to connection handshaking, user moving and error handling. - director: Don't break with shutdown_clients=no - zlib, IMAP BINARY: Fixed internal caching when accessing multiple newly created mails. They all had UID=0 and the next mail could have wrongly used the previously cached mail. - doveadm stats reset wasn't reseting all the stats. - auth_stats=yes: Don't update num_logins, since it doubles them when using with mail stats. - quota count: Fixed deadlocks when updating vsize header. - dict-quota: Fixed crashes happening due to memory corruption. - dict proxy: Fixed various timeout-related bugs. - doveadm proxying: Fixed -A and -u wildcard handling. - doveadm proxying: Fixed hangs and bugs related to printing. - imap: Fixed wrongly triggering assert-crash in client_check_command_hangs. - imap proxy: Don't send ID command pipelined with nopipelining=yes - imap-hibernate: Don't execute quota_over_script or last_login after un-hibernation. - imap-hibernate: Don't un-hibernate if client sends DONE+IDLE in one IP packet. - imap-hibernate: Fixed various failures when un-hibernating. - fts: fts_autoindex=yes was broken in 2.2.25 unless fts_autoindex_exclude settings existed. - fts-solr: Fixed searching multiple mailboxes (patch by x16a0) - doveadm fetch body.snippet wasn't working in 2.2.25. Also fixed a crash with certain emails. - pop3-migration + dbox: Various fixes related to POP3 UIDL optimization in 2.2.25. - pop3-migration: Fixed "truncated email header" workaround.

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.15 for Dovecot v2.2.25.
by Stephan Bosch 08 Jul '16

08 Jul '16

Hello Dovecot users, I have completed the final release. I found a few more problems while testing this release, so a few more fixes are included. I also added a behavioral change to the vacation extension. Changelog v0.4.15: * vacation extension: The sieve_user_email setting is now used in the check for implicit delivery. - imapsieve plugin: For any mail transaction, the mailbox was opened a second time, even if no mailbox rule matched. This was unintentional, useless and caused problems when the imapsieve plugin was used with other plugins like acl. - extprograms plugin: Significantly improved error handling. No stream errors were logged. - extprograms plugin: Fixed bug in handling of result code from remote program (script service). - extprograms plugin: Connection to remote program service was not retried. - Several small fixes based on static analysis. - Fixed handling of quoted string localparts in email addresses. The release is available as follows: http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.15.ta… http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.15.ta… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x wiki for more information.

Various other fixes. - fts-lucene: Fixed crash on index rescan. - auth_stats=yes produced broken output - dict-ldap: Various fixes - dict-sql: NULL values crashed.

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.14 for Dovecot v2.2.24.
by Stephan Bosch 27 Apr '16

27 Apr '16

Hello Dovecot users, The most important feature that this new release adds is the IMAPSIEVE capability, which allows executing Sieve scripts at IMAP events. It also adds the ability to obtain trace logs from Sieve execution at actual delivery (or from IMAP), rather than only using the sieve-test command line tool. This release also fixes a bug in the Sieve extprograms plugin that has been bothering a few people for a while now. Changelog v0.4.14: * The address test now allows specifying the X-Original-To header. + Implemented the Sieve imapsieve extension and its IMAP counterpart (RFC 6785) as a set of plugins. This allows running Sieve scripts at IMAP activity, rather than at delivery. There are also facilities for the familiar sieve_before/sieve_after administrator scripts. A user script is defined for a mailbox using an IMAP METADATA entry, whereas administrator scripts are configured using mailbox matching rules defined in the plugin settings. + Adjusted the Sieve ihave extension to allow capability tests to be performed at runtime. This way, scripts can be written that work both at delivery and from IMAP. + Implemented support for runtime trace debugging. This means that detailed information about which commands, actions and tests are performed is written to a file. That file is created in the configured directory, but only if that directory exists. This way, a particular user can be easily singled out for debugging. This works much like the Dovecot rawlog facility. The trace output is identical to what is produced using sieve-test with its "-t" command line option. + Added a "sieve_user_email" setting that configures the user's primary email address. This is mainly useful to have a user email address available in IMAP, where envelope data is unavailable. + Implemented the dovecot-specific "vnd.dovecot.report" extension. This allows sending report messages in the Message Abuse Reporting Format (RFC 5965). - extprograms plugin: Fixed epoll() panic caused by closing the output FD before the output stream. - Made sure that the local part of a mail address is encoded properly using quoted string syntax when it is not a dot-atom. The release is available as follows: http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.14.ta… http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.14.ta… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x wiki for more information.

v2.2.24 released
by Timo Sirainen 26 Apr '16

26 Apr '16

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.24.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.24.tar.gz.sig This should be a good release. :) * doveconf now warns if it sees a global setting being changed when the same setting was already set inside some filters. (A common mistake has been adding more plugins to a global mail_plugins setting after it was already set inside protocol { .. }, which caused the global setting to be ignored for that protocol.) * LMTP proxy: Increased default timeout 30s -> 125s. This makes it less likely to reach the timeout and cause duplicate deliveries. * LMTP and indexer now append ":suffix" to session IDs to make it unique for the specific user's delivery. (Fixes duplicate session ID warnings in stats process.) + Added dict-ldap for performing read-only LDAP dict lookups. + lazy-expunge: All mails can be saved to a single specified mailbox. + mailbox { autoexpunge } supports now wildcards in mailbox names. + doveadm HTTP API: Added support for proxy commands + imapc: Reconnect when getting disconnected in non-selected state. + imapc: Added imapc_features=modseq to access MODSEQs/HIGHESTMODSEQ. This is especially useful for incremental dsync. + doveadm auth/user: Auth lookup performs debug logging if -o auth_debug=yes is given to doveadm. + Added passdb/userdb { auth_verbose=yes|no } setting. + Cassandra: Added user, password, num_threads, connect_timeout and request_timeout settings. + doveadm user -e <value>: Print <value> with %variables expanded. - Huge header lines could have caused Dovecot to use too much memory (depending on config and used IMAP commands). (Typically this would result in only the single user's process dying with out of memory due to reaching service { vsz_limit } - not a global DoS). - dsync: Detect and handle invalid/stale -s state string better. - dsync: Fixed crash caused by specific mailbox renames - auth: Auth cache is now disabled passwd-file. It was unnecessary and it broke %variables in extra fields. - fts-tika: Don't crash if it returns 500 error - dict-redis: Fixed timeout handling - SEARCH INTHREAD was crashing - stats: Only a single fifo_listeners was supported, making it impossible to use both auth_stats=yes and mail stats plugin. - SSL errors were logged in separate "Stacked error" log lines instead of as part of the disconnection reason. - MIME body parser didn't handle properly when a child MIME part's --boundary had the same prefix as the parent.

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.13 for Dovecot v2.2.22.
by Stephan Bosch 18 Mar '16

18 Mar '16

Hello Dovecot users, Here is the final v0.4.13 release of Pigeonhole for Dovecot v2.2.22. Nothing changed since the RC. Changelog v0.4.13: * redirect action: Added the list-id header to the duplicate ID for mail loop prevention. This means that the message sent directly to the user and the message coming through the mailing list itself are treated as different messages by the loop detection of the redirect command, even though their Message-ID may be identical. * Changed the Sieve number type to uint64_t, which means that Sieve numbers can now technically range up to 2^64. Some other Sieve implementation allowed this, making this change necessary for successful migration. + Implemented the sieve_implicit_extensions setting. The extensions listed in this setting do not need to be enabled explicitly using the Sieve "require" command. This behavior directkly violates the standard, but can be necessary for compatibility with some existing implementations of Sieve. Do not use this setting unless you really need to! - redirect action: Made mail loop detection more robust by forcibly adding a Message-ID header if it is missing. - Prevent logging a useless "script not found" error message for LDAP scripts for which the entry exists but no attribute containing a script. This is not necessarily an error. - extprograms plugin: Changed the communication channel between parent and child process for a directly forked program from a socketpair to a double pipe. Linux does not support /dev/stdin, /dev/stdout and friends for sockets. For some shell program authors this may be confusing, so that is why it is changed. When using the script service, these device nodes are still not usable though. The release is available as follows: http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.13.ta… http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.13.ta… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x wiki for more information.

Xi has a new home
by Stephan Bosch 17 Mar '16

17 Mar '16

Hi, The automatic package builder Xi has moved to system within the Dovecot infrastructure. This also means that the repositories are available at a new host name: xi.dovecot.fi. The old host name still works and is a CNAME pointing to the new venue. I expect the old domain to be active for years to come. So, there is no need to update your /etc/apt/sources.list right away. Still, it is a good idea to do so. I've updated the wiki accordingly. Regards, Stephan.

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.13.rc1 for Dovecot v2.2.22.rc1.
by Stephan Bosch 10 Mar '16

10 Mar '16

Hello Dovecot users, Pigeonhole v0.4.12 still compiles against Dovecot v2.2.22.rc1, but only with warnings. That is the primary reason for this new release. However, there are also a few significant changes as listed below. When no significant problems are reported, a definitive release will follow closely after Dovecot v2.2.22 is released. Changelog v0.4.13: * redirect action: Added the list-id header to the duplicate ID for mail loop prevention.

There's still time to do smaller tweaks to the API, so let us know if you have some improvement ideas. Note that the API was designed to look mostly like JMAP, which we're planning to implement also for v2.3.

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.12 for Dovecot v2.2.21
by Stephan Bosch 06 Feb '16

06 Feb '16

Hello Dovecot users, Here is the final v0.4.12 release of Pigeonhole for Dovecot v2.2.21. Nothing changed since the RC. Changelog v0.4.12: + Implemented the Sieve extracttext extension (RFC 5703; Section 7). It is now possible to extract body text from a message into a variable. * Increased ABI version due to changes in the Sieve interpreter's object definitions. - multiscript: Fixed bug in handling of (implicit) keep; final keep action was always executed as though there was a failure. This caused the keep action to revert back to the initial message, causing editheader actions to be ignored. - managesieve-login: Fixed proxy to allow SASL mechanisms other than PLAIN. Before, the proxy would fail if the server did not support the PLAIN mechanism. - ldap storage: Prevent segfault occurring when assigning certain (global) configuration options. The release is available as follows: http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.12.ta… http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.12.ta… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x wiki for more information.

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.12.rc1 for Dovecot v2.2.21
by Stephan Bosch 27 Jan '16

27 Jan '16

Hello Dovecot users, The last few releases had an annoying bug that made the Sieve editheader and imap4flags ineffective when multiple scripts were executed sequentially (sieve_before/sieve_after). That is why I am making a new release. Unlike the previous release, this release also adds a new feature: support for the Sieve extracttext extension. Changelog v0.4.12: + Implemented the Sieve extracttext extension (RFC 5703; Section 7). It is now possible to extract body text from a message into a variable. * Increased ABI version due to changes in the Sieve interpreter's object definitions. - multiscript: Fixed bug in handling of (implicit) keep; final keep action was always executed as though there was a failure.

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.11 for Dovecot v2.2.21
by Stephan Bosch 08 Jan '16

08 Jan '16

Hello Dovecot users, Here is the final v0.4.11 release of Pigeonhole for Dovecot v2.2.21. Nothing of consequence changed since the RC. Changelog v0.4.11: - Sieve mime extension: Fixed the header :mime :anychild test to work properly outside a foreverypart loop. - Several fixes in message body part handling: - Fixed assert failure occurring when text extraction is attempted on an empty or broken text part. - Fixed assert failure in handling of body parts that are converted to text. - Fixed header unfolding for (mime) headers parsed from any mime part. - Fixed trimming for (mime) headers parsed from any mime part. - Fixed erroneous changes to the message part tree structure performed when re-parsing the message. - LDA Sieve plugin: Fixed logging of actions; sometimes the configured log format was not followed. - LDA Sieve plugin: Fixed bug in error handling of script storage initialization. - Sieve Extprograms plugin: Ignored ENOTCONN error in shutdown(fd, SHUT_WR) call. - Fixed duplication of discard actions in the script result. Each discard was counted as a separate action, which means that action limit would be crossed too early. - Made sure that quota errors never get logged as errors in syslog. - Fixed handling of implicit keep for a partially executed transaction that yielded a temporary failure. - Fixed handling of global errors. If master and user error handler were identical, in some cases the log message could be lost. - Fixed AIX compile issue in message body parser.

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.11.rc1 for Dovecot v2.2.21
by Stephan Bosch 04 Jan '16

04 Jan '16

Hello Dovecot users, First, a happy new year to you all! :) In the last few weeks I got quite a few bug reports. I also found a few things myself. Some of the bugs are quite annoying, so a new release is necessary. First, I release RC1. If all is well, I'll release the definitive Pigeonhole v0.4.11 within the next few days. Changelog v0.4.11: - Sieve mime extension: Fixed the header :mime :anychild test to work properly outside a foreverypart loop. - Several fixes in message body part handling: - Fixed assert failure occurring when text extraction is attempted on an empty or broken text part. - Fixed assert failure in handling of body parts that are converted to text. - Fixed header unfolding for (mime) headers parsed from any mime part. - Fixed trimming for (mime) headers parsed from any mime part. - Fixed erroneous changes to the message part tree structure performed when re-parsing the message. - LDA Sieve plugin: Fixed logging of actions; sometimes the configured log format was not followed. - LDA Sieve plugin: Fixed bug in error handling of script storage initialization. - Sieve Extprograms plugin: Ignored ENOTCONN error in shutdown(fd, SHUT_WR) call. - Fixed duplication of discard actions in the script result.

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.10 for Dovecot v2.2.21
by Stephan Bosch 14 Dec '15

14 Dec '15

Hello Dovecot users, I got a bit stalled by our recent switch to Git, but here is the final v0.4.10 release of Pigeonhole for Dovecot v2.2.21. Nothing of consequence changed since the last RC. Changelog v0.4.10: + Implemented the Sieve mime and foreverypart extensions (RFC 5703). These are fully implemented. The interaction with the editheader extension needs some work, but this should not influence most uses; i.e., changes by the editheader extension are not always visible using foreverypart/mime. + Sieve body extension: Properly implemented the `:text' body transform. It now extracts text for HTML message parts. + Sieve enotify extension: mailto method: Implemented the sieve_notify_mailto_envelope_from setting. This allows configuring the source of the notification sender address for e-mail notifications. This is similar to what already can be configured for redirect. + Added a sieve_enabled (defaults to 'yes') setting that allows explicitly disabling Sieve processing for particular users. This used to be possible by setting `sieve=', but ever since the sieve_before, sieve_after and sieve_default settings were added, this method was not reliable anymore. - variables extension: Fixed handling of empty string by the `:length' set modifier. An empty string yielded an empty string rather than "0". - Fixed memory leak in the Sieve script byte code dumping facility. Extension contexts were never actually freed. - Fixed handling of implicit keep when the last Sieve script is a global one. In that case the implicit keep action was executed in global context, which could mean that trivial (quota) errors ended up in the system log file, rather than the user log file. - doveadm sieve plugin: Fixed crashes caused by incorrect context allocation in the sieve command implementations. The release is available as follows: http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.10.ta… http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.10.ta… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x wiki for more information.

v2.2.21 released
by Timo Sirainen 11 Dec '15

11 Dec '15

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.21.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.21.tar.gz.sig Due to a bit bad doveadm bugs in v2.2.20 here's a fixed v2.2.21. Also from this release forward we're finally using git with branches to make new releases. So new releases will have a bit more time to stabilize in the branch before they're being released (while still allowing new features to be developed in the master development branch). We already did something like this for the enterprise releases, but now it's done for community releases as well. - doveadm mailbox list (and some others) were broken in v2.2.20 - director: Fixed making backend changes when running with only a single director server. - virtual plugin: Fixed crash when trying to open nonexistent autocreated backend mailbox.

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.10.rc2 for Dovecot v2.2.20
by Stephan Bosch 08 Dec '15

08 Dec '15

Hello Dovecot users, Here's the Pigeonhole RC that goes with Dovecot v2.2.20. Due to the earlier described conflict, RC1 will not compile with the new Dovecot release. I am not really in hurry to make a definitive release of Pigeonhole, since v0.4.9 still compiles fine with Dovecot v2.2.20. Still, if no big bugs emerge in the next few days, I will make a final release. So, please test this new RC and especially the new features. Changelog v0.4.10: + Implemented the Sieve mime and foreverypart extensions (RFC 5703). These are fully implemented. The interaction with the editheader extension needs some work, but this should not influence most uses; i.e., changes by the editheader extension are not always visible using foreverypart/mime. + Sieve body extension: Properly implemented the `:text' body transform.

v2.2.20 released
by Timo Sirainen 07 Dec '15

07 Dec '15

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.20.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.20.tar.gz.sig This could be (one of) the last v2.2.x release. We're starting v2.3 development soon. + Added mailbox { autoexpunge=<time> } setting. See http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxSettings for details. + ssl_options: Added support for no_ticket + imap/pop3/managesieve-login: Added postlogin_socket=path passdb extra field. This allows replacing the default service imap/pop3/managesieve {} settings for specific users (e.g. running their imap process via valgrind or strace). + doveadm fetch: Added date.sent/received/saved.unixtime + fs-posix: Added mode=auto parameter to set the created files' and directories' mode based on the parent dir if it has setgid-bit. + director: Support backends having hostnames, which makes it possible to verify their SSL certificates. - director: Directors' state became desynchronized if doveadm director commands were used to modify the same backend in multiple directors at the same time with conflicting changes. This fix includes some extra checks, which makes sure that if such a conflict still happens it's automatically fixed. In some situations such an automatic fix may now be unnecessarily triggered and an error logged. - director: Backend tags weren't working correctly. - ldap: tls_* settings weren't used for ldaps URIs. - ldap, mysql: Fixed setting connect timeout. - auth: userdb lookups via auth-worker couldn't change username - dsync: Fixed handling deleted directories. Make sure we don't go to infinite mailbox renaming loop. - imap: Fixed crash in NOTIFY when there were watched namespaces that didn't support NOTIFY. - imap: After SETMETADATA was used, various commands (especially FETCH) could have started hanging when their output was large. - stats: Idle sessions weren't refreshed often enough, causing stats process to forget them and log errors about unknown sessions when they were updated later. - stats: Fixed "Duplicate session ID" errors when LMTP delivered to multiple recipients and fts_autoindex=yes. - zlib plugin: Fixed copying causing cache corruption when zlib_save wasn't set, but the source message was compressed. - fts-solr: Fixed escaping Solr query parameters. - lmtp: quota_full_tempfail=yes was ignored with lmtp_rcpt_check_quota=yes

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.10.rc1 for Dovecot v2.2.20.rc1
by Stephan Bosch 05 Dec '15

05 Dec '15

Hello Dovecot users, Here's the Pigeonhole RC that goes with the Dovecot RC. There is a conflict with the t_str_trim() function. To be able to quickly release Dovecot, Timo has reverted the involved change so that 0.4.9 will still compile with the final Dovecot v2.2.20 release. This Pigeonhole RC will therefore not compile against the final Dovecot release (only against v2.2.20.rc1), which I will mend quickly once Dovecot v2.2.20 is released.

This allows replacing the default service imap/pop3/managesieve {} settings for specific users (e.g. running their imap process via valgrind or strace). + doveadm fetch: Added date.sent/received/saved.unixtime + fs-posix: Added mode=auto parameter to set the created files' and directories' mode based on the parent dir if it has setgid-bit. + director: Support backends having hostnames, which makes it possible to verify their SSL certificates. - director: Directors' state became desynchronized if doveadm director commands were used to modify the same backend in multiple directors at the same time with conflicting changes. This fix includes some extra checks, which makes sure that if such a conflict still happens it's automatically fixed. In some situations such an automatic fix may now be unnecessarily triggered and an error logged. - director: Backend tags weren't working correctly. - ldap: tls_* settings weren't used for ldaps URIs. - ldap, mysql: Fixed setting connect timeout. - auth: userdb lookups via auth-worker couldn't change username - dsync: Fixed handling deleted directories. Make sure we don't go to infinite mailbox renaming loop. - imap: Fixed crash in NOTIFY when there were watched namespaces that didn't support NOTIFY. - imap: After SETMETADATA was used, various commands (especially FETCH) could have started hanging when their output was large. - stats: Idle sessions weren't refreshed often enough, causing stats process to forget them and log errors about unknown sessions when they were updated later. - stats: Fixed "Duplicate session ID" errors when LMTP delivered to multiple recipients and fts_autoindex=yes. - zlib plugin: Fixed copying causing cache corruption when zlib_save wasn't set, but the source message was compressed. - fts-solr: Fixed escaping Solr query parameters.

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.9 for Dovecot v2.2.19
by Stephan Bosch 05 Oct '15

05 Oct '15

Hello Dovecot users, Here is the definitive 0.4.9 release. Only a few minor fixes were done since RC1. Changelog v0.4.9: * Properly implemented checking of ABI version for Sieve interpreter plugins, much like Dovecot itself does for plugins. This will prevent plugin ABI mismatches. + Implemented a vnd.dovecot.environment extension. This builds upon the standard environment extension and adds a few more environment items, such as username and default mailbox. It also creates a variables namespace so that environment items can be accessed directly. I am still thinking about more environment items that can be added. + Sieve extprograms plugin: Made line endings of the input passed to the external programs configurable. This can be configured separately for each of the three extensions. + ManageSieve: Implemented proxy XCLIENT support. This allows the proxy to pass client information to the back-end. - ManageSieve: Fixed an assert failure occurring when a client disconnects during the GETSCRIPT command. - doveadm sieve plugin: Fixed incorrect initialization of mail user. This caused a few memory leaks. - sieve-filter command line tool: Fixed handling of failure-related implicit keep when there is an explicit default destination folder. This caused message duplication. - lib-sieve: Fixed bug in RFC5322 header folding. Words longer than the optimal line length caused empty lines in the output, which would break the resulting message header. This surfaced in References: headers with very long message IDs. The release is available as follows: http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.9.tar… http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.9.tar… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x wiki for more information. Have fun testing this new release and don't hesitate to notify me when there are any problems. Regards, -- Stephan Bosch stephan(a)rename-it.nl

v2.2.19 released
by Timo Sirainen 02 Oct '15

02 Oct '15

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.19.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.19.tar.gz.sig * pop3_deleted_flag has been broken since v2.2.10. Using it would cause buffer overflows, which could be exploitable. However, this bug would have become visible quite soon after users had deleted some POP3 mails, because the pop3 processes would have started crashing all the time even in normal use. * "doveadm director flush" command has a changed meaning now: It safely moves users to their wanted backends, instead of simply forgetting the mapping entirely and leaving the existing connections untouched. Use -F parameter to get the original unsafe behavior. + Added imap-hibernate processes (see imap_hibernate_timeout setting). IDLEing IMAP connections can be hibernated, which saves memory. + Optimized tracking mailboxes' vsizes (= sum of all messages' sizes). If mailbox_list_index=yes, it's also stored in there. This makes it very efficient to look up vsizes for all mailboxes. + Added a quota "count" backend, which uses the mailbox vsizes to get the current quota usage. It requires using the new quota_vsizes=yes setting, which tracks the messages' "virtual sizes" rather than "physical sizes". Their distiction is minor and mostly irrelevant nowadays (if mail sizes should be counted with LF or CRLF newlines). + "doveadm director up/down" commands added. The monitoring script should be using these commands instead of changing the vhost count. This allows admin to manually disable a server by changing the vhost count to 0 without the monitoring script changing it back. + Added support for HAProxy protocol: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HAProxy + Added push-notification plugin framework, which can be used to easily implement push notifications to various backends. Implemented "ox" backend for notifying Open-Xchange via HTTP/json. + imap_logout_format supports more variables now, e.g. number of deleted messages. + pop3: Added pop3_delete_type setting (related to pop3_deleted_flag). + plugin { fts_enforced=yes } setting now fails body searches unless it can be done via the full text search engine. + Added %{passdb:*} and %{userdb:*} variables to various places + auth: Added ":protected" suffix for passdb and userdb fields. If used, the field doesn't overwrite an existing field. + IMAP/POP3 proxy: If a backend server dies, avoid client reconnection spikes by slowly disconnecting clients over time. This is enabled by setting login_proxy_max_disconnect_delay=secs passdb extra field. + imap: Added new read-only METADATA entries: /private/specialuse, /shared/comment, /shared/admin + imap: If client disconnects in the middle of a command, log how long the command had been running. - mdbox: Rebuilding could have caused message's reference count to overflow the 16bit number in some situations, causing problems when trying to expunge the duplicates. - Various search fixes (fts, solr, tika, lib-charset, indexer) - Various virtual plugin fixes - Various fixes and optimizations to dsync, imapc and pop3-migration - imap: Various RFC compliancy and crash fixes to NOTIFY

Hopefully this will be stable enough to become v2.2.19 final. Please test now rather than wait for v2.2.19 final, since v2.2.20 is unlikely to arrive anytime soon (unless there are some major problems). Some fixes since RC1: - dict fixes, especially with pgsql - virtual plugin crashfixes - quota "count" backend fixes - lib-http fixes - some compiling fixes

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.8 for Dovecot v2.2.18
by Stephan Bosch 15 May '15

15 May '15

Hello Dovecot users, Here is the final 0.4.8 release. No significant changes were committed since the last release candidate. Changelog v0.4.8: * LDA Sieve plugin: Dovecot changed the deliver_log_format setting to include %{delivery_time}. This prompted changes in Pigeonhole that make this release dependent on Dovecot v2.2.17. + Implemented magic to make sieve_default script visible from ManageSieve under a configurable name. This way, users can see the default rules, edit them and store a private adjusted version. This could also be achieved by copying the default script into the user's script storage, but updates to the global sieve_default script would be ignored that way. + ManageSieve: Implemented support for reporting command statistics at disconnect. Statistics include the number of bytes and scripts uploaded/downloaded/checked and the number of scripts deleted/renamed. - Fixed problem in address test: erroneously decoded mime-encoded words in address headers. - extprograms plugin: Fixed failure occurring when connecting to script service without the need to read back the output from the external program. - Fixed bug in script storage path normalization occurring with relative symbolic links below root. - Fixed and updated various parts of the documentation - ManageSieve: Used "managesieve" rather than "sieve" as login service name, which means that all managesieve-specific settings where ignored. - Managesieve: Storage quota was not always enforced properly for scripts uploaded as quoted string. Nobody uses that, but it is allowed in the specification and we support it, so it should work properly. The release is available as follows: http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.8.tar… http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.8.tar… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x wiki for more information.

v2.2.18 released

15 May '15

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.18.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.18.tar.gz.sig Oops, director was somewhat broken in 2.2.17. I thought I tested the last changes in it well enough, but looks like not. To avoid all existing Dovecot director installations from breaking I decided to make 2.2.18 release quickly afterwards.. BTW. We're planning on making some changes soon to how version control is used in Dovecot development, which should help avoid these kind of problems. The main problem now is that everything gets directly committed to the master branch (although we have a separate more stable dovecot-ee repo also). The new plan is to do something like this: http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/ Besides some minor compiling issues and other small changes, the important ones are: - director: Login UNIX sockets were normally detected as doveadm or director ring sockets, causing it to break in existing installations. - sdbox: When copying a mail in alt storage, place the destination to alt storage as well.

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.8.rc3 for Dovecot v2.2.17
by Stephan Bosch 14 May '15

14 May '15

Hello Dovecot users, RC2 had one more important bug caused by the new sieve_default_name feature. To prevent causing more of such rather stupid bugs in the future, I created an external shell-based test suite to test dovecot-lda delivery, the doveadm sieve tools and ManageSieve. These kind of tests aren't possible with the current Sieve-based test suite that is included in the Pigeonhole tarball. Now I can test most basic top-level Pigeonhole functionality in one go. Additionally, I created one new feature for ManageSieve. It allows logging various statistics at client disconnect, much like POP3 currently supports. This is e.g. useful for debugging. In the process, I fixed a few ManageSieve bugs as well. If RC3 doesn't cause any more issues, I will release 0.4.8 this Friday. Changelog v0.4.8 (updated): * LDA Sieve plugin: Dovecot changed the deliver_log_format setting to include %{delivery_time}. This prompted changes in Pigeonhole that make this release dependent on Dovecot v2.2.17. + Implemented magic to make sieve_default script visible from ManageSieve under a configurable name. This way, users can see the default rules, edit them and store a private adjusted version. This could also be achieved by copying the default script into the user's script storage, but updates to the global sieve_default script would be ignored that way. + ManageSieve: Implemented support for reporting command statistics at disconnect.

This was causing more trouble than it was worth. Make sure that all the mountpoints that Dovecot accesses aren't writable by mail processes when they're unmounted. * dict server wasn't properly escaping/unescaping data. Fixing this broke backwards compatibility with data that contains line feeds. This hopefully affects only very few installations.

This is still in development, but it's already possible to use for testing with fts-lucene and fts-solr. + lda, lmtp: deliver_log_format can now include %{delivery_time}, which expands to how many milliseconds it took to deliver the mail.

Hello Dovecot users, Here is the final 0.4.7 release. No changes were committed since the last release candidate. Changelog v0.4.7: * editheader extension: Made protection against addition and deletion of headers configurable separately. Also, the `Received' and `Auto-Submitted' headers are no longer protected against addition by default. * Turned message envelope address parse errors into warnings. * The interpreter now accepts non-standard domain names, e.g. containing '_'. + Implemented the Sieve index extension (RFC 5260). + Implemented support for the mboxmetadata and servermetadata extensions (RFC 5490). + Implemented new sieve commands for the doveadm command line utility. These commands are currently limited to ManageSieve operations, but the other current sieve tools will be migrated to doveadm in the near future as well. + Added more debug output about binary up-to-date checking. + Added script metadata to binary dump output. - Fixed Sieve script binary up-to-date checking by normalizing the script location. - The Sieve interpreter now flushes the duplicate database during start phase of result execution rather than commit phase. This makes sure locks on the duplicate database are released as soon as possible, preventing contention. - Performed a few optimizations in the lexical scanner of the language. - Fixed bug in `:matches' match-type that made a pattern without wildcards match as if there were a '*' at the beginning. - Fixed crash in validation of the string parameter of the comparator tag. - extprograms extension: Made sure supplemental group privileges are also dropped. This was a problem reported by Debian lintian. - Fixed bug in handling of binary errors for action side-effects and message overrides. - file script storage: Restructured storage initialization to address backwards compatibility issues. - dict script storage: Fixed small memory allocation bug. The release is available as follows: http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.7.tar… http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.7.tar… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x wiki for more information. Have fun testing this new release and don't hesitate to notify me when there are any problems. Regards, -- Stephan Bosch stephan(a)rename-it.nl

Dovecot Oy merger with Open-Xchange AG
by Timo Sirainen 19 Mar '15

19 Mar '15

Hi all, Today I can finally announce that Dovecot Oy company has merged with Open-Xchange AG. This helps us to get more Dovecot developers, support people and so on. Most importantly, eventually it should allow me to get back to doing what I like the most: Designing new and interesting stuff for Dovecot and perfecting the old stuff :) OX is a great match to Dovecot going forward. They also really like open source and share our plans for the future. Nothing big will change as a result of this merger: Dovecot will stay Dovecot with its own name and release schedules. We're not going to force OX and Dovecot to be the same product, other than having a somewhat deeper integration between them. Here are the press release links about it: http://www.dovecot.fi/open-xchange-and-dovecot-announce-merger-to-create-wo… http://www.open-xchange.com/dovecot http://www.open-xchange.com/announcements/18

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.7.rc3 for Dovecot v2.2.16
by Stephan Bosch 17 Mar '15

17 Mar '15

Hello Dovecot users, The rc2 release had a couple of new, rather small, but very annoying bugs. First of all, the path for a file storage wasn't actually normalized, due to a stupid last-minute change before the release. This caused the personal script to be skipped with a warning when there were e.g. duplicate slashes in the path. Second, due to recent changes, the file storage would complain with a temporary error if the directory where the active script symlink would be located was missing. Changelog v0.4.7 (unchanged): * editheader extension: Made protection against addition and deletion of headers configurable separately. Also, the `Received' and `Auto-Submitted' headers are no longer protected against addition by default. * Turned message envelope address parse errors into warnings. * The interpreter now accepts non-standard domain names, e.g. containing '_'. + Implemented the Sieve index extension (RFC 5260). + Implemented support for the mboxmetadata and servermetadata extensions (RFC 5490). + Implemented new sieve commands for the doveadm command line utility. These commands are currently limited to ManageSieve operations, but the other current sieve tools will be migrated to doveadm in the near future as well. + Added more debug output about binary up-to-date checking. + Added script metadata to binary dump output. - Fixed Sieve script binary up-to-date checking by normalizing the script location. - The Sieve interpreter now flushes the duplicate database during start phase of result execution rather than commit phase.

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.7.rc2 for Dovecot v2.2.16
by Stephan Bosch 15 Mar '15

15 Mar '15

Hello Dovecot users, The rc1 release showed a few problems with the up-to-date checking of on-disk binary files. The binary files contain some metadata about the script these were compiled from. If this doesn't match the current script anymore, the script is recompiled. One of these metadata items is the script location. However, this location wasn't normalized, so when the binary would be compiled with sievec it depended on the path provided at the command line. When dumping a script binary, the metadata is now printed as well. Also, I added more debug log lines about up-to-date checking. I improved backwards compatibility for the file script storage a bit relative to the last version. It now properly recognizes a regular file at the symlink path, even when the storage path itself doesn't exist. Changelog v0.4.7 (updated): * editheader extension: Made protection against addition and deletion of headers configurable separately. Also, the `Received' and `Auto-Submitted' headers are no longer protected against addition by default. * Turned message envelope address parse errors into warnings. * The interpreter now accepts non-standard domain names, e.g. containing '_'. + Implemented the Sieve index extension (RFC 5260). + Implemented support for the mboxmetadata and servermetadata extensions (RFC 5490). + Implemented new sieve commands for the doveadm command line utility. These commands are currently limited to ManageSieve operations, but the other current sieve tools will be migrated to doveadm in the near future as well. + Added more debug output about binary up-to-date checking. + Added script metadata to binary dump output. - Fixed Sieve script binary up-to-date checking by normalizing the script location. - The Sieve interpreter now flushes the duplicate database during start phase of result execution rather than commit phase.

v2.2.16 released
by Timo Sirainen 12 Mar '15

12 Mar '15

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.16.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.16.tar.gz.sig A few fixes and some imapc improvements since the release candidate. * dbox: Resyncing (e.g. doveadm force-resync) no longer deletes dovecot.index.cache file. The cache file was rarely the problem so this just caused unnecessary slowness. * Mailbox name limits changed during mailbox creation: Each part of a hierarchical name (e.g. "x" or "y" in "x/y") can now be up to 255 chars long (instead of 200). This also reduces the max number of hierarchical levels to 16 (instead of 20) to keep the maximum name length 4096 (a common PATH_MAX limit). The 255 char limit is hopefully large enough for migrations from all existing systems. It's also the limit on many filesystems. + director: Added director_consistent_hashing setting to enable consistent hashing (instead of the mostly-random MD5 hashing). This causes fewer user moves between backends when backend counts are changed, which may improve performance (mainly due to caching). + director: Added support for "tags", which allows one director ring to serve multiple backend clusters with different sets of users. + LMTP server: Added lmtp_user_concurrency_limit setting to limit how many LMTP deliveries can be done concurrently for a single user. + LMTP server: Added support for STARTTLS command. + If logging data is generated faster than it can be written, log a warning about it and show information about it in log process's process title in ps output. Also don't allow a single service to flood too long at the cost of delaying other services' logging. + stats: Added support for getting global statistics. + stats: Use the same session IDs as the rest of Dovecot. + stats: Plugins can now create their own statistics fields + doveadm server: Non-mail related commands can now also be used via doveadm server (TCP socket). + doveadm proxying: passdb lookup can now override doveadm_port and change the username. + doveadm: Search query supports now "oldestonly" parameter to stop immediately on the first non-match. This can be used to optimize: doveadm expunge mailbox Trash savedbefore 30d oldestonly + doveadm: Added "save" command to directly save mails to specified mailbox (bypassing Sieve). + doveadm fetch: Added body.snippet field, which returns the first 100 chars of a message without whitespace or HTML tags. The result is stored into dovecot.index.cache, so it can be fetched efficiently. + dsync: Added -t <timestamp> parameter to sync only mails newer than the given received-timestamp. + dsync: Added -F [-]<flag> parameter to sync only mails with[out] the given flag/keyword. + dsync: Added -a <mailbox> parameter to specify the virtual mailbox containing user's all mails. If this mailbox is already found to contain the wanted mail (by its GUID), the message is copied from there instead of being re-saved. (This isn't efficient enough yet for incremental replication.) + dsync: -m parameter can now specify \Special-use names for mailboxes. + imapc: Added imapc_features=gmail-migration to help migrations from GMail. See http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Migration/Gmail + imapc: Added imapc_features=search to support IMAP SEARCH command. (Currently requires ESEARCH support from remote server.) + expire plugin: Added expire_cache=yes setting to cache most of the database lookups in dovecot index files. + quota: If overquota-flag in userdb doesn't match the current quota usage, execute a configured script. + redis dict: Added support for expiring keys (:expire_secs=n) and specifying the database number (:db=n) - auth: Don't crash if master user login is attempted without any configured master=yes passdbs - Parsing UTF-8 text for mails could have caused broken results sometimes if buffering was split in the middle of a UTF-8 character. This affected at least searching messages. - String sanitization for some logged output wasn't done properly: UTF-8 text could have been truncated wrongly or the truncation may not have happened at all. - fts-lucene: Lookups from virtual mailbox consisting of over 32 physical mailboxes could have caused crashes.

The highlights include the implementation of the index and metadata extensions. Quite a few bugs are fixed as well. Changelog v0.4.7: * editheader extension: Made protection against addition and deletion of headers configurable separately. Also, the `Received' and `Auto-Submitted' headers are no longer protected against addition by default. * Turned message envelope address parse errors into warnings. * The interpreter now accepts non-standard domain names, e.g. containing '_'. + Implemented the Sieve index extension (RFC 5260). + Implemented support for the mboxmetadata and servermetadata extensions (RFC 5490). + Implemented new sieve commands for the doveadm command line utility. These commands are currently limited to ManageSieve operations, but the other current sieve tools will be migrated to doveadm in the near future as well. + Added more debug output to binary up-to-date checking. - The Sieve interpreter now flushes duplicate database during start phase of result execution rather than commit phase.

v2.2.16 release candidate released

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2.16.rc1.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2.16.rc1.tar.gz.sig Looks like it's been a long time since v2.2.15. There have been a ton of changes since it was released though, so here's a release candidate first to find out if somebody can find any bugs before the final v2.2.16. Unfortunately I haven't had time/energy to read Dovecot mailing list for a while now. I'm hoping this will change, but I don't really expect it to happen anytime soon. On the positive side for Dovecot, it's now becoming used in more and more multi-million user installations, which brings all kinds of nice new improvements. The largest changes since v2.2.15: * dbox: Resyncing (e.g. doveadm force-resync) no longer deletes dovecot.index.cache file. The cache file was rarely the problem so this just caused unnecessary slowness. * Mailbox name limits changed during mailbox creation: Each part of a hierarchical name (e.g. "x" or "y" in "x/y") can now be up to 255 chars long (instead of 200).
