Since http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot-cvs/2014-November/025241.html Dovecot's LMTP does support ORCPT. Is it possible to set X-Original-To-Header based on that ORCPT?

[Dovecot] quota-status not working in distributed environment
by Benoit Panizzon 30 Jul '18

30 Jul '18

Hello List Quick overview of our set-up: Postfix / Dovecot (2.2.2.1) / MySQL Cluster on (at the moment) three Servers to create a HA environment where you could easily add additional servers as the demand or load grows. Circular dovecot replication is used so each server uses another one as replication partner and allowing one server to fail. Dovecot Proxy Feature being used, so we can use round-robin DNS and each server can forward the connecting user to the correct 'master' for his mailbox. So far, everything works as expected. Now we want to reject emails to 'full' mailboxes during SMTP to prevent backscatter and use the quota-status policy service from within postfix. That works fine, if the mailbox or it's replica is present on the machine where quota-status is called, but it fails if it's run on a machine where neither the mailbox or the replica is present. In our case, we get a correct SMTP 550 'Mailbox Full' Reject in two cases and a LMTP generated bounce in the later case. Also `doveadm quota get -u user(a)example.com` return the correct quota if run on the two machines which have the mailbox and it's copy locale, but return 0% used if run on the other machine. Is there a way to get quota-status to also use the proxy feature to request the quota information from the correct machine? Or is the postfix policy daemon call to the quota-status socket documented somewhere (it must be, but where?) so we could implement it from within the Milter? (we use the sendmail Milter API from postfix to filter spam and viruses, do sender/recipient rewriting, forward bounce matching, rate limmiting, login/IP statistics to block botnets abusing phished addresses and legal intercept stuff anyway) Kind regards Benoit Panizzon -- I m p r o W a r e A G - ______________________________________________________ Zurlindenstrasse 29 Tel +41 61 826 93 07 CH-4133 Pratteln Fax +41 61 826 93 02 Schweiz Web http://www.imp.ch ______________________________________________________

Quota-status service on Director
by Michael Kliewe 27 Sep '17

27 Sep '17

Hello, I'm trying to configure the quota-status service, but it seems I'm not successful with my director setup (2.2.9). I activate the quota-status service like this on my director server: $ cat 91-quota-status.conf ## ## Quota-Status configuration. ## # Load Module quota-status and listen on TCP/IP Port for connections. service quota-status { executable = quota-status -p postfix inet_listener { address = 10.0.1.44 port = 12340 } client_limit = 1 } # Plugin configuration. # Return messages for requests by quota status: success, nouser and overquota. plugin { quota_status_success = DUNNO quota_status_nouser = DUNNO quota_status_overquota = "552 5.2.2 Mailbox is over quota" } After restarting the director service I try to query the quota status service: printf "recipient=user(a)domain.de\nsize=100000\n\n" | nc 10.0.1.44 12340 The output is: action=DEFER_IF_PERMIT Invalid user settings. Refer to server log for more information. In the debug log of the director I see this: Feb 23 03:03:09 director01 dovecot: auth: Debug: userdb out: USER 1 user(a)domain.de mail=mdbox:/mnt/data01/domain.de/user/maildir home=/mnt/data01/domain.de/user proxy=Y master=<hidden> pass=<hidden> uid=5000 gid=1 quota_rule=*:storage=60593 quota_rule2=*:messages=100000 Feb 23 03:03:09 director01 dovecot: quota-status(user(a)domain.de): Error: user user(a)domain.de: Initialization failed: Namespace '': mkdir(/mnt/data01/domain.de/user/maildir/mailboxes) failed: Permission denied (euid=5000(vmail) egid=1(daemon) missing +w perm: /mnt, dir owned by 0:0 mode=0755) So the quota status service tries to access the mailbox of the user ON THE DIRECTOR. But the director has not mounted the mailboxes of the users, that's what the backend dovecots are for (proxy=Y). So the quota-status query is not proxied to the dovecot backend server I would assume. Does that mean I have to start the quota-status service on the dovecot backend servers and access it from the Postfix server directly? Currently the Postfixes can only reach the directors, not the backend servers. Is it possible to use the quota-status service on the director? Thanks for any hints and help Michael

[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

imapc fetch optimization
by Nagy, Attila 27 Sep '16

27 Sep '16

Hi, imapc does a lot of UID FETCH $UID (BODY.PEEK[]), which is nice, because it works even with the dumbest IMAP server, altough it really kills performance, especially on high latency lines. I wonder: if IMAP servers can effectively handle boundless fetches (like a list with all wanted UIDs, or simply 1:* if all are needed), do you see this as a good addition to develop? This could be a new imapc_features setting afterall... Thanks,

[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] How to disable SSL and TLSv1.1?
by Darren Pilgrim 16 Aug '16

16 Aug '16

I'm running Dovecot 2.2.5 and want to make it refuse SSLv2, SSLv3 and TLSv1.0. Clients will opportunistically use TLS 1.1 and 1.2, but now I want require they do so. Is it enough to set ssl_cipher_list = HIGH:!SSLv2:!SSLv3:!TLSv1.0:!aNULL:!MD5 or are there additional settings I need to specify?

Option to not add "Received" header ?
by Florent B 27 Apr '16

27 Apr '16

Hi everyone, I use Dovecot in lmtp mode to receive mails. I would like an option to tell Dovecot to not add a "Reveived" header on each server (I use a director, so Director also adds this header). Is it possible to do this ? Or could it be a future feature ? Thank you. Florent

[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.
