[Dovecot] New global ACL mailbox pattern feature in HG
by Thomas Leuxner 07 May '14

07 May '14

Hi, I played around with changeset 9376bf098692 a bit. Right now I'm unsure how to describe a namespace using this feature. Using something like 'Public/*" doesn't seem to work while 'Public*" does, but would also potentially alter non-related mailboxes elsewhere: $ cat global-acl INBOX owner lrwstiekxap Public* group=PublicMailboxAdmins lrwsik Regards Thomas

[Dovecot] SSL/TLS handshake stays forever without timeout
by morrison 07 May '14

07 May '14

Hi, I am a system admin and I am evaluating using dovecot as our email server. In my test, I found that if I telneted to 993 port and did not do anything or I telneted to 143 port, sent starttls command and then did not do anything, the connection stayed forever without timeout. This will make our mail server vulnerable to DOS attack. I dig into dovecot Wiki and did not find any solution. This seems to me that dovecot does not handle SSL/TLS handshake timeout. I am wondering if this is a known issue and will be fixed in near future. Thanks,

[Dovecot] nfs flush/fsync config settings problem
by Troton_admin 03 Apr '14

03 Apr '14

Hi, I need to place a maildir storage on a NFS filesystem, so I set up the config like this: mmap_disable = yes mail_nfs_storage = yes mail_nfs_index = yes mail_fsync = always lock_method = dotlock (also tried fcntl - local lockd is running, no success, now using dotlock, to be sure while debugging) The problem is that Dovecot (2.2.9/2.2.10 - the relevant code in mail-index.c is the same) logs a fatal error and quits the session (no daemon crash/coredump). Jan 07 14:13:31 auth: Debug: client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=pop3 session=fRCRJGHvbADDUKU9 lip=192.168.100.102 rip=IP_ADDR lport=1110 rport=48236 resp=AHRyb3RvbjEAdHJvdG9uMQ== (previous base64 data may contain sensitive data) Jan 07 14:13:31 auth: Debug: passwd-file(troton1,IP_ADDR,<fRCRJGHvbADDUKU9>): lookup: user=troton1 file=/usr/local/etc/dovecot/passwd-file Jan 07 14:13:31 auth: Debug: client passdb out: OK 1 user=troton1 Jan 07 14:13:31 auth: Debug: master in: REQUEST 1289355265 29049 1 4f9fdd9e4069fa503e8e6bcc09d4cf30 session_pid=29089 Jan 07 14:13:31 auth: Debug: passwd-file(troton1,IP_ADDR,<fRCRJGHvbADDUKU9>): lookup: user=troton1 file=/usr/local/etc/dovecot/passwd-file Jan 07 14:13:31 auth: Debug: master userdb out: USER 1289355265 troton1 uid=81 gid=81 home=/home/troton1 mail=maildir:~/Maildir Jan 07 14:13:31 pop3-login: Info: Login: user=<troton1>, method=PLAIN, rip=IP_ADDR, lip=192.168.100.102, mpid=29089, session=<fRCRJGHvbADDUKU9> Jan 07 14:13:31 pop3: Debug: Added userdb setting: mail=maildir:~/Maildir Jan 07 14:13:31 pop3(troton1): Debug: Effective uid=81, gid=81, home=/home/troton1 Jan 07 14:13:31 pop3(troton1): Debug: Namespace inbox: type=private, prefix=, sep=., inbox=yes, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes location=maildir:~/Maildir Jan 07 14:13:31 pop3(troton1): Debug: maildir++: root=/home/troton1/Maildir, index=, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=/home/troton1/Maildir, alt= Jan 07 14:13:31 pop3(troton1): Info: DEBUG1: fsync_mode=2 , mask=0 Jan 07 14:13:31 pop3(troton1): Info: DEBUG2: fsync_mode=2 flags=85 Jan 07 14:13:31 pop3(troton1): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions from /home/troton1/Maildir: mode=0700 gid=default Jan 07 14:13:31 pop3(troton1): Info: DEBUG2: fsync_mode=0 flags=85 The user/passdb is just a plaintext file, for debugging purposes. But what is strange, the messages system log shows: Jan 7 14:13:31 mailhub2 dovecot: pop3(troton1): Fatal: nfs flush requires mail_fsync=always That is obviously wrong, even its own doveconf -n utility shows the correct value. # doveconf -n | grep -E 'sync|nfs' mail_fsync = always mail_nfs_index = yes mail_nfs_storage = yes maildir_very_dirty_syncs = yes Affected code seems to be in the lib-index/mail-index.c file, mail_index_file function - around line 585 : // my custom debug line i_info("DEBUG2: fsync_mode=%u flags=%u", (unsigned int)(index->fsync_mode),(unsigned int)flags); if ((flags & MAIL_INDEX_OPEN_FLAG_NFS_FLUSH) != 0 && index->fsync_mode != FSYNC_MODE_ALWAYS) i_fatal("nfs flush requires mail_fsync=always"); The first time it sees fsync_mode=2 (which is correct value of FSYNC_MODE_ALWAYS), but next function call is with index->fsync_mode=0 and an error is raised, see the logfile above. Dovecot correctly creates its working files in user's home directory - dovecot-uidlist, dovecot-uidvalidity, dovecot-uidvalidity.52cbfd7b, dovecot.index.log .

[Dovecot] Is replication broken?
by IT geek 31 03 Apr '14

03 Apr '14

Hi, Apologies for this being my 248th post about replication... The current error I'm getting is: Jan 30 12:10:54 Server1 dovecot: dsync-local(MailUser1): Error: dsync( Server2.test.com) read() failed: read((fd)) failed: Connection reset by peer Subsequent errors are: Jan 30 12:15:47 Server1 dovecot: dsync-local(MailUser1): Error: read( Server2.test.com) failed: EOF The above error is seen on Server1, after the initial sync completes of the first mailbox (Sent folder to be precise). Does anyone have an ideas as to what might be causing it? These are brand new rebuilds, running the latest build - I just can't seem to get this working. Bug maybe? Configs are as follows: Server1: # 2.2.10: /usr/pkg/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: NetBSD 5.2 cobalt auth_mechanisms = plain login doveadm_password = secret doveadm_port = 12345 first_valid_uid = 1003 last_valid_uid = 1020 listen = 192.168.1.1 login_greeting = test.com mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u mail_plugins = " notify replication" passdb { driver = passwd } plugin { mail_replica = tcp:Server2.test.com } protocols = imap service aggregator { fifo_listener replication-notify-fifo { mode = 0666 } unix_listener replication-notify { mode = 0600 } } service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } user = root } service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 0 } } service replicator { process_min_avail = 1 unix_listener replicator-doveadm { mode = 0600 } } ssl_cert = </etc/openssl/certs/Server1.test.crt ssl_key = </etc/openssl/private/Server1.test.key userdb { driver = passwd } protocol lda { postmaster_address = postmaster(a)test.com } ServerB: # 2.2.10: /usr/pkg/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: NetBSD 5.1 cobalt auth_mechanisms = plain login doveadm_password = secret doveadm_port = 12345 listen = 192.168.1.2 login_greeting = test.com mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u passdb { driver = passwd } protocols = imap service aggregator { fifo_listener replication-notify-fifo { mode = 0666 } unix_listener replication-notify { mode = 0600 } } service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } user = root } service doveadm { inet_listener { port = 12345 } } service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 0 } } service replicator { process_min_avail = 1 unix_listener replicator-doveadm { mode = 0600 } } ssl_cert = </etc/openssl/certs/Server2.test.com.crt ssl_key = </etc/openssl/private/Server2.test.com.key userdb { driver = passwd } protocol lda { postmaster_address = postmaster(a)test.com }

[Dovecot] possible quota bug ?
by fernando.figaro＠uol.com.br 31 Mar '14

31 Mar '14

Hi, I'm using dovecot 2.2.5 with quota (maildir backend), zlib and expunge plugins. When I list maildirsize file, I get: 1073741824S 17952 16 If I receive a new message (example: 1204 bytes compressed and 2524 bytes plain text), the quota file is write correctly (2524 1 entry). When I move the message to trash folder (or between user custom folders) the file have wrong entries: 1073741824S 17952 16 2524 1 1204 1 (this is the size of the compressed message) -2524 -1 I coudn't find any relation with the config settings causing this problem and checked the changelog since 2.2.5. Had someone had this same problem? Thanks, Fernando

[Dovecot] Mbox corruption - Inbox beginning with 'FFrom' or 'FrFrom'
by Dimos Alevizos 08 Mar '14

08 Mar '14

Hello, we're having some problems with our dovecot setup. I've seen similar problems in the mailing list some years ago but alas wasn't able to find a solution. Our setup is as follows : An MX farm (postfix) sends mails via LMTP to a director farm (dovecot 2.1.12) which proxies pop3/imap/lmtp traffic to a dovecot farm (dovecot 2.1.16). All mailboxes and indexes are on NFS and all servers are Centos. The problem is that at times we see mailboxes (all of them are in mbox format) beginning with FFrom or FrFrom and of course dovecot says it's not a valid mbox file. If we manually remove the offending extra characters from the beginning of the file everything is working again, but often the same user will show the problem again tomorrow. However it's very rare and so far we haven't been able to reproduce the problem. After activating the mail_log plugin hoping it'll help us locate the problem we run across this case : The user (let's call him user(a)domain.gr) logs in via pop3 and deletes some mails but one of them fails: Jun 19 11:09:18 pop01 dovecot: pop3-login: Login: user=<user(a)domain.gr>, method=PLAIN, rip=83.235.173.26, lip=83.235.66.40, mpid=1389, secured, session=<Ao+rWH3fHgBT660a> Jun 19 11:09:18 director5 dovecot: pop3-login: proxy(user(a)domain.gr): started proxying to 83.235.66.40:110: user=<user(a)domain.gr>, method=PLAIN, rip=83.235.173.26, lip=83.235.66.65, session=<Ao+rWH3fHgBT660a> Jun 19 11:09:24 pop01 dovecot: pop3(user(a)domain.gr): expunge: box=INBOX, uid=20670, msgid=<9f5b1a20a9428ed31a9e7e42ce4411f08d0.20130612070424(a)mail84.us2.rsgsv.net>, size=36526 Jun 19 11:09:24 pop01 dovecot: pop3(user(a)domain.gr): expunge: box=INBOX, uid=20671, msgid=<b27d72dc5a47a3235a232494c6fe8aa0(a)newsletter.stockout.gr>, size=4637 Jun 19 11:09:24 pop01 dovecot: pop3(user(a)domain.gr): expunge: box=INBOX, uid=20672, msgid=<1113670779560.1111910791405.1470.2.32032003(a)scheduler.constantcontact.com>, size=38655 Jun 19 11:09:24 pop01 dovecot: pop3(user(a)domain.gr): expunge: box=INBOX, uid=20673, msgid=<83600a274c1407c5aa4c263e2592cb54(a)debop.gr>, size=1181688 Jun 19 11:09:24 pop01 dovecot: pop3(user(a)domain.gr): expunge: box=INBOX, uid=20674, msgid=<F2A59BE7-007A-4567-9BA5-803446C3D7F8(a)bernier-eliades.gr>, size=61116 Jun 19 11:09:26 pop01 dovecot: pop3(user(a)domain.gr): Error: Next message unexpectedly corrupted in mbox file /var/mail/K/Y/V/domain_gr_user_007 at 1 Jun 19 11:09:26 pop01 dovecot: pop3(user(a)domain.gr): Error: Cached message offset 1 is invalid for mbox file /var/mail/K/Y/V/domain_gr_user_007 Jun 19 11:09:27 pop01 dovecot: pop3(user(a)domain.gr): Disconnected: Logged out top=0/0, retr=2/1502843, del=122/359, size=137448432 Jun 19 11:09:27 pop01 dovecot: pop3(user(a)domain.gr): Warning: Our dotlock file /var/mail/K/Y/V/domain_gr_user_007.lock was deleted (locked 9 secs ago, touched 9 secs ago) Jun 19 11:09:27 pop01 dovecot: pop3(user(a)domain.gr): Error: file_dotlock_delete() failed with mbox file /var/mail/K/Y/V/domain_gr_user_007: No such file or directory Jun 19 11:09:27 director5 dovecot: pop3-login: proxy(user(a)domain.gr): disconnecting 83.235.173.26 (Disconnected by server): user=<user(a)domain.gr>, method=PLAIN, rip=83.235.173.26, lip=83.235.66.65, session=<Ao+rWH3fHgBT660a> However he's still able to log in again : Jun 19 11:11:36 pop01 dovecot: pop3-login: Login: user=<user(a)domain.gr>, method=PLAIN, rip=85.74.231.10, lip=83.235.66.40, mpid=10094, secured, session=<QDLrYH3f7ABVSucK> Jun 19 11:11:36 director3 dovecot: pop3-login: proxy(user(a)domain.gr): started proxying to 83.235.66.40:110: user=<user(a)domain.gr>, method=PLAIN, rip=85.74.231.10, lip=83.235.66.63, session=<QDLrYH3f7ABVSucK> Jun 19 11:11:51 pop01 dovecot: pop3(user(a)domain.gr): Disconnected: Logged out top=0/0, retr=0/0, del=0/237, size=75036938 Jun 19 11:11:51 director3 dovecot: pop3-login: proxy(user(a)domain.gr): disconnecting 85.74.231.10 (Disconnected by server): user=<user(a)domain.gr>, method=PLAIN, rip=85.74.231.10, lip=83.235.66.63, session=<QDLrYH3f7ABVSucK> A few minutes later he receives another mail which is delivered with no problem : Jun 19 11:30:39 corvus amavis[546]: (00546-22) Passed CLEAN, [91.190.168.40] [91.190.168.40] <tk-14439(a)free.splio.com> -> <user(a)domain.gr>, Message-ID: <58175-bWFyaW5hQGJlcm5pZXItZWxpYWR lcy5ncg==(a)free.splio.com>, mail_id: J1P-0WpmQksJ, Hits: 1.412, size: 9025, queued_as: 02BA4AE00414, Tests: [DKIM_VALID=-0.1,DKIM_VERIFIED=-0.1,FREEMAIL_FROM=0.001,HTML_IMAGE_RATIO_04=0.61,INVALID_MSGID=1,URIBL_BLOCKED=0.001], autolearn=disabled, 1533 ms Jun 19 11:30:39 corvus smtp/smtpd[1283]: proxy-accept: END-OF-MESSAGE: 250 2.0.0 from MTA(smtp:[127.0.0.1]:10025): 250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as 02BA4AE00414;

[Dovecot] tests with metadata module
by Mihai Badici 25 Feb '14

25 Feb '14

--Repost after subscription as list member --- I made some tests with metadata support in dovecot 2.2.10. Previously I had dovecot 2.2.4 with external metadata plugin who work well. I use dovecot with roundcube and roundcube plugins from kolab project . First, the feature activation was tricky and rather undocumented. I spent about half hour googling, after that I set: imap_metadata = yes and mail_attribute_dict = file:%h/shared_metadata I think you cold put those lines in the 20-imap.conf example file commented; that way will be easy for us to activate. Because I changed the location of shared_metadata, all folders was unannotated . I went in folder manager in roundcube and set folder "calendar" as calendar type and so on. That worked and i have: cat shared_metadata: shared/c4268a04da44bb527c5b0000193e0904/vendor/kolab/folder-type event shared/cd5792367fc9cd5196170000193e0904/vendor/kolab/folder-type event shared/33f55d2e8912195209290000193e0904/vendor/kolab/folder-type event shared/32f55d2e8912195209290000193e0904/vendor/kolab/folder-type contact However, it looks like the metadata is not properly read after. Calendar and Contacts folders don't appear in roundcube. I have this crash in dovecot's log: Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x67d81) [0xb7625d81] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x67e11) [0xb7625e11] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_fatal+0) [0xb75d6af9] -> dovecot/imap() [0x805d3b2] -> dovecot/imap() [0x805d5bc] -> dovecot/imap() [0x805d6c9] -> dovecot/imap(client_handle_input+0x56) [0x805d836] -> dovecot/imap(client_input+0x72) [0x805dcc2] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_call_io+0x38) [0xb7638d98] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0x10e) [0xb7639d6e] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x48) [0xb7638818] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(master_service_run+0x28) [0xb75dcb68] -> dovecot/imap(main+0x284) [0x8050f34] -> /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf5) [0xb743f5a5] -> dovecot/imap() [0x80510a5] Dec 26 09:28:49 imap(mihai.badici): Fatal: master: service(imap): child 4919 killed with signal 6 (core dumps disabled) I logged imap sessions in roundcube and I have: A0003 GETMETADATA "*" (/private/vendor/kolab/folder-type /shared/vendor/kolab/folder-type) On a similar server with the "old" metadata plugin, I have here listed all folders with coresponding annotations. How I can debug further? This is a test server so I can stress it. -- Mihai Bădici http://mihai.badici.ro -----------------------------------------

[Dovecot] failed: Message has been copied too many times
by Angel L. Mateo 19 Feb '14

19 Feb '14

Hello, I'm running dovecot 2.1.16 in a ubuntu 12.04 server, with lazy_expunge, SiS and mdbox format. The problem I'm having is that the index for one the mailboxes of one of my users is growing too much. This is not the first time of this problem. In previous cases, is because a message is duplicated thousand of times (I haven't found any reason for this). In these cases, moving messages to other folder and moving again to this same folder fixes the problem. So I have tried this, and I have moved all messages from this folder to another one. But this time, after this, indexes directory is still using a lot of space. And the folder seems to have more serious problems: amateo_adm@myotis51:~$ sudo doveadm search -u vlo mailbox BORRADOS.INBOX.MNCS doveadm(vlo): Error: Syncing mailbox BORRADOS.INBOX.MNCS failed: Message has been copied too many times (59306 + -1) I have tried to delete the folder, with the same result: amateo_adm@myotis51:~$ sudo doveadm mailbox delete -u vlo BORRADOS.INBOX.MNCS doveadm(vlo): Error: Can't delete mailbox BORRADOS.INBOX.MNCS: Message has been copied too many times (59306 + -1) And to purge user's mailbox, but it didn't fix the problem. PS: If this could help, BORRADOS. is the namespace used by lazy_expunge plugin. -- Angel L.
