Released Pigeonhole v0.5.2.rc1 for Dovecot v2.3.2.rc1.
by Stephan Bosch 24 Jun '18

24 Jun '18

Hello Dovecot users, Here is the Pigeonhole release candidate that goes with the Dovecot v2.3.2 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: http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.3/rc/dovecot-2.3-pigeonhole-0.5.2.… http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.3/rc/dovecot-2.3-pigeonhole-0.5.2.… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot 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

It contains all the changes in v2.2.36, as well as a bunch of other fixes (mainly for v2.3-only bugs). * old-stats plugin: Don't temporarily enable PR_SET_DUMPABLE while opening /proc/self/io.

See doveadm-rebuild(1) man page for details. + cassandra: Use fallback_consistency on more types of errors + lmtp proxy: Support outgoing SSL/TLS connections + lmtp: Add lmtp_rawlog_dir and lmtp_proxy_rawlog_dir settings. + submission: Add support for rawlog_dir + submission: Add submission_client_workarounds setting. + lua auth: Add password_verify() function and additional fields in auth request. - doveadm-server: TCP connections are hanging when there is a lot of network output.

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.24 for Dovecot v2.2.36.

Hello Dovecot users, Here is the Pigeonhole release that goes with the new Dovecot v2.2.36 release. Apart from the changes that were already in the RC, this final release adds one new feature: a plugin for the IMAP FILTER=SIEVE capability. The is a vendor-defined feature that adds the ability to manually invoke Sieve filtering in IMAP. Changelog v0.4.24: + 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. - Fix assert panics triggered by empty messages that are being forwarded using redirect or vnd.dovecot.report. This does not likely normally occur, but this is seen as a result of certain benign failures in object storage. - 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.

We didn't fix everything reported (especially build changes) to try to minimize any unexpected breakages. v2.3.2 will be out with a lot of fixes hopefully in a few weeks.

Also don't do CRL checks for incoming client certificates. * stats plugin: Don't temporarily enable PR_SET_DUMPABLE while opening /proc/self/io.

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.
