[Dovecot] Dovecot LDA/LMTP vs postfix virtual delivery agent and the x-original-to header

Does anyone know if the use of LMTP (or even the dovecot LDA) still loses the x-original-to header that the postfix vda adds and that I rely heavily on (since I use a lot of aliases), and if it does, is there any solution to get the original recipient added back in before final delivery? Everything I'm reading says that LMTP is better, but I really do need this header (or one like it) to be there so I know who the original recipient was (for filtering and other purposes). Thanks, -- Best regards, Charles

[Dovecot] Dovecot stops with "Fatal: kevent(): Invalid argument"
by Henrik Larsson 09 Jun '17

09 Jun '17

# 2.0.11: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE amd64 Dovecot stops with the following logged: - master: Fatal: kevent(): Invalid argument I have found that a diff was created for "src/lib/ioloop-kqueue.c" for a similar issue: http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2010-November/054855.html I have patched my system with this and haven't seen the problem since, but I don't know if this is a coincidence. Could you please explain if the diff should actually fix anything or just add some more logging in case it stops again? Best regards Henrik Larsson

[Dovecot] Plugins: virtuals vs acls
by Leho Kraav 20 Sep '16

20 Sep '16

Hi all dovecot-virtual: * all when dovecot-acl files restrict some subset of * for a user, does dovecot respect these ACLs when collecting messages for virtual folder? I'd like a confirmation about what I should be seeing when I start implementing this setup.

[Dovecot] Patch: 2.0 support for URLAUTH, BURL, CATENATE
by Mike Abbott 18 Apr '16

18 Apr '16

Thank you Timo for beginning the port of URLAUTH, BURL, and CATENATE from 1.2 to 2.0. Attached please find two patches that finish the port to 2.0. One patch updates the dovecot-2.0-urlauth branch and is based on the tip of that branch. The other patch adds the full support to dovecot-2.0.beta5. The resulting URLAUTH/BURL/CATENATE code is the same. Please let me know if you have any questions about these patches. Thanks.

[Dovecot] dsync replication errors
by Oli Schacher 09 Sep '15

09 Sep '15

Hi I'm trying to build a cluster of two servers with dsync replication (based on http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Replication) My test setup works fine for very simple tests, I can log in to both servers, copy a message to one of the servers and it successfully apperars in the other account. But, if I try to copy a large amount of messages at once to one of the accounts, my maillogs get flodded with errors(see below) and the mailboxes seem to get out of sync and messages are duplicated over and over again (I originally copied 100 messages and ended up with thousands in both mailboxes until I killed dovecot) I'd appreciate if someone could have a look at my config and tell me what I did wrong. dovecot.conf of both servers, they are identical except for the target ip in mail_replica: dovecot -n # 2.2.beta1 (070ca24e5846+): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux

[Dovecot] Sieve vacation not working
by Phill Edwards 24 Feb '15

24 Feb '15

I've been trying all night to get vacation working in my .dovecot.sieve file. The way our email works is we have one account on dovecot which serves my mail and my wife's and we use procmail and sieve to put the emails in different folders depending on who it's for. I'm trying to set up a vacation reply on my wife's email address (aaaaaaaa@optus* below) so people can update to her new address. Here's my file with the email addresses masked: require ["fileinto", "vacation"]; if address :is "to" "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx(a)ozemail.com.au" { fileinto "Phill_OzEmail_Folder"; stop; } elsif address :is "to" "yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy(a)optusnet.com.au" { fileinto "Phill_Optus_Folder"; stop; } elsif address :matches "to" "aaaaaaaa@optus*" { vacation "Please update my email address to bbbbbbbbb(a)exemail.com.au"; fileinto "Sarah_Optus_Folder"; stop; } else { keep; stop; } The problem I'm having is that no auto-replies are sent. I removed .dovecot.lda-dupes and that didn't help; so then I touched it and now it's a 0 byte file and that didn't help. There is no dovecot.sieve.err file and I can't see anything in /var/log/dovecot.log which gives any message about why this wouldn't work. The emails to aaaaaaa@optus* get filed into the right folder so I know the matching is working. I've also tried a reject recipe and that worked fine, so I know that it can send an email if it chooses to. So it's a complete black box mystery as to why it just won't send a reply. Regards, Phill

[Dovecot] Disk Encryption
by Simon Brereton 17 Oct '14

17 Oct '14

Hi As I understand it email headers need to be unencrypted (otherwise DKIM doesn't work). From the MUA to either Postfix, or Dovecot the connection is (or can/should be) secured with TLS/SSL. What I would like to know is if it is possible to encrypt the mailstore? Postfix is using Dovecot for delivery so it's only Dovecot that would need to encrypt/decrypt the mailstore. Is this possible? Is there a terrible reason to do it even if it is possible? I realise that from MTA to MTA there's no guarantee of encryption (and in fact it's very unlikely unless keys have been exchanged), but my primary goal is supplement the physical security of the mail store of mails we already have or have sent. Mostly just idle curiosity as to what has been done, or what could be done. What is worth doing is a separate thread entirely. Thanks. Simon

[Dovecot] Issues with VANISHED CHANGEDSINCE
by Michael J Rubinsky 09 Jun '14

09 Jun '14

I've been seeing the following wonky behavior with Dovecot. Currently this is with Dovecot 2.0.19, but I was also seeing it in earlier versions as well, including versions from the 1.x series. Some background, this is from Horde's ActiveSync library, when it is trying to determine what UIDs have recently been expunged. I can guarantee that when this command was sent, there was only one or two emails that were removed since the provided MODSEQ value. C: 8 UID FETCH 1:* UID (VANISHED CHANGEDSINCE 587742) S: * VANISHED (EARLIER) 1:119944,119947:123482,123484:128043,128045:130388,130390:130456,130458:132127,132129:135832,135834:136201,136203:136301,136303:136316,136318:138502,138504:140099,140101:141908,141910:142607,142609:142744,142746:142865,142867:143160,143164:143173,143176:143179,143181:143187,143189:143190,143192:143195,143197:143270,143272:143273,143275:143280,143282:143302,143305:143307,143309:143318,143320:143333,143335:143337,143339:143341,143343:143375,143377:143400,143402:143551,143553:143637,143640:143706,143708:144069,144071:144178,144180:144307,144309:144316,144318:144329,144331:144931,144933:144983,144985:145000,145002:145069,145071:145072,145074:145132,145136:145178,145180:145191,145193 Also, to verify it wasn't something screwy with my server, Michael Slusarz provided me with this from his server: <quote> There's definitely something wonky going on in the code. There's a certain tipping point of modseqs where the values become incorrect. For a mailbox with HIGHESTMODSEQ of 54004, I see this: a uid fetch 1:* UID (VANISHED CHANGEDSINCE 53881) * VANISHED (EARLIER) 1:37308,37310:40788,40791:41032,41034:41083 a OK Fetch completed. b uid fetch 1:* UID (VANISHED CHANGEDSINCE 53882) * VANISHED (EARLIER) 41029:41030,41047:41083 b OK Fetch completed. </quote> Thanks for any guidance. -- mike The Horde Project (www.horde.org) mrubinsk(a)horde.org
