[Dovecot] Problem with the command hooks api
by Tony 24 Feb '13

24 Feb '13

I have been trying to use the command hook api in an experimental plugin I have written. The hook is registered using the command_hook_register function, and for most commands my hook functions get called once as expected. But when the client uses one of the "UID" commands (e.g. "UID FETCH" ) the hook functions are executed twice. I am using dovecot version 2.1.12. Am I correct in thinking this is a bug? If I am wrong and this is the intended behaviour, how should I detect whether the hook function call is the first or second for a client's command (in particular for the 'post command' hook)? Assuming it is a bug, I modified the code in the command_exec function to stop the second hook call, a patch for this is below. This appears to apply to later dovecot releases as well. I am happy for this code to be included in future releases of dovecot. Thanks, Tony. diff -ur -x .deps -x Makefile dovecot-2.1.12-orig/src/imap/imap-commands.c dovecot-2.1.12-mod/src/imap/imap-commands.c --- dovecot-2.1.12-orig/src/imap/imap-commands.c 2012-03-22 12:59:17.000000000 +0000 +++ dovecot-2.1.12-mod/src/imap/imap-commands.c 2013-02-20 17:15:50.000000000 +0000 @@ -38,7 +38,7 @@ { "FETCH", cmd_fetch, COMMAND_FLAG_USES_SEQS }, { "SEARCH", cmd_search, COMMAND_FLAG_USES_SEQS }, { "STORE", cmd_store, COMMAND_FLAG_USES_SEQS }, - { "UID", cmd_uid, 0 }, + { "UID", cmd_uid, COMMAND_FLAG_HOOKS_DELAY }, { "UID COPY", cmd_copy, COMMAND_FLAG_BREAKS_SEQS }, { "UID FETCH", cmd_fetch, COMMAND_FLAG_BREAKS_SEQS }, { "UID SEARCH", cmd_search, COMMAND_FLAG_BREAKS_SEQS }, @@ -142,12 +142,20 @@ { const struct command_hook *hook; bool ret; + bool exec_hooks = FALSE; - array_foreach(&command_hooks, hook) - hook->pre(cmd); + if ( !(cmd->cmd_flags & COMMAND_FLAG_HOOKS_DELAY)) { + exec_hooks = TRUE; + array_foreach(&command_hooks, hook) + hook->pre(cmd); + } ret = cmd->func(cmd); - array_foreach(&command_hooks, hook) - hook->post(cmd); + + if (exec_hooks != FALSE) + { + array_foreach(&command_hooks, hook) + hook->post(cmd); + } return ret; } diff -ur -x .deps -x Makefile dovecot-2.1.12-orig/src/imap/imap-commands.h dovecot-2.1.12-mod/src/imap/imap-commands.h --- dovecot-2.1.12-orig/src/imap/imap-commands.h 2011-12-13 11:35:28.000000000 +0000 +++ dovecot-2.1.12-mod/src/imap/imap-commands.h 2013-02-20 17:15:44.000000000 +0000 @@ -30,7 +30,9 @@ Dovecot internally returns it for all kinds of commands, but unfortunately RFC 5530 specifies it only for "delete something" operations. */ - COMMAND_FLAG_USE_NONEXISTENT = 0x10 + COMMAND_FLAG_USE_NONEXISTENT = 0x10, + /* Set when need to delay command hook function calls due to recursive command_exec() */ + COMMAND_FLAG_HOOKS_DELAY = 0x20 }; struct command {

[Dovecot] LMTP logging
by Peter Rindfuss 24 Feb '13

24 Feb '13

Hi, Is there a way (in Dovecot 2.1.14) to sent LMTP log entries and IMAP log entries to different files? I know I could achieve this with syslog-ng, but as LDA has a log file of its own, I am wondering if this is possible with LMTP as well. I apologize if I missed something in the wiki. Thanks, Peter

The fact that the same certificate works for other clients, and also for TLS on Thunderbird seem to suggest Thunderbird is fumbling it. But maybe you can try the command diagnostic from the command line "openssl s_client -connect yourserver:993 ..." or use one of the online certificate checkers to get some useful diagnostics. > TLS: SSL_read() failed: error:14094418:SSL > routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:tlsv1 alert unknown ca This error entry pops up in my logs once in a while. I think the error might be misleading since the error message happen in the middle of a long sequence of successful connections. Also check that the client is actually using the right security mode (not TLS or clear), perhaps by doing a network snoop. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

[Dovecot] doveadm user error messages
by Thomas Leuxner 22 Feb '13

22 Feb '13

I use 'doveadm user' in some scripts and the exit codes are fine for my purposes. During tests it transpired that Dovecot 2.1 would give an error message when querying for non-existent users. Dovecot 2.2 just exits without a word. Not sure this is intended behaviour: $ doveadm user foo $ echo $? 67 $ id foo id: foo: No such user Regards Thomas
