mmap_disable=yes not honored always
by Peter Benko 06 Dec '15

06 Dec '15

<Sorry for the resend, it seems that the formatting of my original mail got garbled> Hi all, I'm experimenting with having the mail store on a 9p file system that lacks mmap() functionality. So I disabled it in dovecot: mmap_disable = yes However, I keep getting the following error messages in my log: Oct 15 16:55:00 computer-name dovecot: imap user(a)domain.com[192.168.1.3] Error: mmap() failed with file /mail/mailboxes/domain.com/user/indexpvt-accounts/other-user/mailboxes/INBOX/dovecot.index.pvt.log: Invalid argument I only get those messages for the shared folder's private indexes. This setup works perfectly on an ext2/3/4 fs. Any opinions, is this a bug? Is mmap_disable not mandatory for all operations? Best regards, Peter

[PATCH] [dovecot 2.2.9] Quota warnings ignored with FS quotas
by Grzegorz Nosek 06 Dec '15

06 Dec '15

Hi all, I noticed that in some circumstances quota warnings are ignored. The bug arises when both of the following are used: 1. percentage-based quota warnings, i.e.: quota_warning = storage=1%% quota-warning 1 %u 2. filesystem quota backend (and probably others, except for quotas configured directly in dovecot config) Percentage-based quota warnings have rule.bytes_limit recalculated based on root_set->default_rule.bytes_limit, however this value is zero when FS quotas are in use. Real quota values (from quotactl) are fetched very late, in quota_warnings_execute() but at that point no recalculation happens. As the warning rules have bytes_limit==0, they're effectively ignored. The patch below enables quota warnings to be sent when using filesystem (and possibly maildirsize-based) quotas. Based and tested on Ubuntu 14.04's dovecot 2.2.9. Best regards, Grzegorz Nosek diff --git a/src/plugins/quota/quota.c b/src/plugins/quota/quota.c index adbd70d..8e4d7e0 100644 --- a/src/plugins/quota/quota.c +++ b/src/plugins/quota/quota.c @@ -1163,6 +1163,8 @@ static void quota_warnings_execute(struct quota_transaction_context *ctx, &count_current, &count_limit) < 0) return; + quota_root_recalculate_relative_rules(root->set, bytes_limit, count_limit); + bytes_before = bytes_current - ctx->bytes_used; count_before = count_current - ctx->count_used; for (i = 0; i < count; i++) {

[Dovecot] lmtp_rcpt_check_quota not working

imap_logout_format improvements / ideas
by Timo Sirainen 03 Oct '15

03 Oct '15

http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.2/rev/93bba97afb2a http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.2/rev/e0a17714f0c9 So all in all, you can now add to imap_logout_format: # %i - total number of bytes read from client # %o - total number of bytes sent to client # %{fetch_hdr_count} - Number of mails with mail header data sent to client # %{fetch_hdr_bytes} - Number of bytes with mail header data sent to client # %{fetch_body_count} - Number of mails with mail body data sent to client # %{fetch_body_bytes} - Number of bytes with mail body data sent to client # %{deleted} - Number of mails where client added \Deleted flag # %{expunged} - Number of mails that client expunged # %{trashed} - Number of mails that client copied/moved to the # special_use=\Trash mailbox. Any thoughts on what else would be useful? I was also thinking about separating (deletes and) expunges from Trash vs non-Trash, but I'm not sure how useful that would be (and what would it be called?) It's also a bit annoying that a copy+expunge to a Trash will return expunged=1 trashed=1, but a move to Trash (via IMAP MOVE) will return expunged=0 trashed=1. But trying to fix that would be too much trouble.

Multiple passwords for a user (SQL)
by Marco Fretz 22 Sep '15

22 Sep '15

Hi everyone, I'm not sure if this has been discuessed already as I coun't find anything in the archives - maybe I'm looking for the wrong thing. I want to build something similar to googles "app passwords" where your use a different password (strong, auto generated) for each device / app. In general I think this is pretty easy on the database side as I just need a password table and link say the passwords with an user_id to the corresponding user in the users table - one use has many passwords (1:n). for dovecot this means that it will get multiple rows with passwords back from the "password_query". is there a way to tell dovecot to check all those returned passwords and "pass" the request if one of those passwords match? thank you, best regards Marco

[Dovecot] Pigeonhole sieve re-filter extension?
by T.B. 22 Sep '15

22 Sep '15

Dear Stephan Bosch, dear Dovecot community, "sieve-filter" re-filtering of existing mails is already a great progress for everyone using sieve! But as far as I know this functionality is just accessible by the server administrator. In the meanwhile everyone knows the comfort of re-executing filter scripts on his own existing mailboxes - triggered by himself! This service is already very widespread. Examples are MUA's like Outlook or Thunderbird which provide this service just on the client side. Or almost every web-mail provider offers this. Is there already an managesieve protocol extension that allows client triggered server side re-filtering? If not, maybe you could design a RFC for this? What do you think? Best regards. T.B.

[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

Different behavior of ACLs in MUA and doveadm
by Thomas Leuxner 08 Sep '15

08 Sep '15

I have noticed a difference in the behavior of ACLs. When used in a MUA the following global ACL works fine and has the desired effect - new mailboxes can be created by a user being part of the 'PublicMailboxAdmins' group: [ global-acl: ] INBOX owner lrwstiekxap Public/* group=PublicMailboxAdmins lrwsipk Public/* anyone lr Public/* authenticated lrws Creating the same mailbox via doveadm however fails with a permission problem: doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl vfile: Global ACL file: /var/vmail/conf.d/leuxner.net/global-acl doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: Namespace : type=public, prefix=Public/, sep=/, inbox=no, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=no location=mdbox:/var/vmail/public:INDEXPVT=~/mdbox/public doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: fs: root=/var/vmail/public, index=, indexpvt=/var/vmail/domains/leuxner.net/tlx/mdbox/public, control=, inbox=, alt= doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl: initializing backend with data: vfile:/var/vmail/conf.d/leuxner.net/global-acl:cache_secs=300 doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl: acl username = tlx(a)leuxner.net doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl: owner = 0 doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl vfile: Global ACL file: /var/vmail/conf.d/leuxner.net/global-acl doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: Namespace : type=private, prefix=Virtual/, sep=/, inbox=no, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes location=virtual:~/mdbox/virtual doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: fs: root=/var/vmail/domains/leuxner.net/tlx/mdbox/virtual, index=, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=, alt= doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl: initializing backend with data: vfile:/var/vmail/conf.d/leuxner.net/global-acl:cache_secs=300 doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl: acl username = tlx(a)leuxner.net doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl: owner = 1 doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl vfile: Global ACL file: /var/vmail/conf.d/leuxner.net/global-acl doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl vfile: file /var/vmail/public/mailboxes/dovecot-acl not found doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Error: Can't create mailbox Public/Archive/Newsletters/heise-security/2014: Permission denied Interestingly, doveadm succeeds when dovecot-acl is present in the namespace root - which of course is not desirable in the light of the global ACL: [ dovecot-acl: ] group=PublicMailboxAdmins lrwsipk doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl vfile: Global ACL file: /var/vmail/conf.d/leuxner.net/global-acl doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: Namespace : type=public, prefix=Public/, sep=/, inbox=no, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=no location=mdbox:/var/vmail/public:INDEXPVT=~/mdbox/public doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: fs: root=/var/vmail/public, index=, indexpvt=/var/vmail/domains/leuxner.net/tlx/mdbox/public, control=, inbox=, alt= doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl: initializing backend with data: vfile:/var/vmail/conf.d/leuxner.net/global-acl:cache_secs=300 doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl: acl username = tlx(a)leuxner.net doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl: owner = 0 doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl vfile: Global ACL file: /var/vmail/conf.d/leuxner.net/global-acl doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: Namespace : type=private, prefix=Virtual/, sep=/, inbox=no, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes location=virtual:~/mdbox/virtual doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: fs: root=/var/vmail/domains/leuxner.net/tlx/mdbox/virtual, index=, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=, alt= doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl: initializing backend with data: vfile:/var/vmail/conf.d/leuxner.net/global-acl:cache_secs=300 doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl: acl username = tlx(a)leuxner.net doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl: owner = 1 doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl vfile: Global ACL file: /var/vmail/conf.d/leuxner.net/global-acl doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl vfile: reading file /var/vmail/public/mailboxes/dovecot-acl doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: Namespace Public/: /var/vmail/public/mailboxes/Archive/Newsletters/heise-security/2014 doesn't exist yet, using default permissions doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: Namespace Public/: Using permissions from /var/vmail/public: mode=0700 gid=default doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl vfile: file /var/vmail/public/mailboxes/Archive/Newsletters/heise-security/dbox-Mails/dovecot-acl not found doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl vfile: file /var/vmail/public/mailboxes/Archive/Newsletters/heise-security/2014/dbox-Mails/dovecot-acl not found doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl vfile: file /var/vmail/public/mailboxes/Archive/Newsletters/heise-security/2014/dbox-Mails/dovecot-acl not found doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl vfile: file /var/vmail/public/mailboxes/Archive/Newsletters/heise-security/2014/dbox-Mails/dovecot-acl not found # 2.2.15 (6078354e6238): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf I know there have been some changes in Mercurial as to how global ACLs are interpreted. Is doveadm probably behind on them? Regards Thomas

Patch for "doveadm -f table" nit (was Re: Dovecot current number of connections being used.)
by Joseph Tam 08 Sep '15

08 Sep '15

> doveadm who -1 2>/dev/null | wc -l You have to redirect stderr to /dev/null because that's where the first header line is written to. The default format style (table) is inconsistent with the other formats (flow,pager,tab) that write headers and data to stdout. The following patch will pick this nit. This patch will require modifications to scripts that rely on doveadm writing headers to stderr. For example, the above doveadm command could be modified to doveadm who -1 | grep -vc '^username' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- a/dovecot-2.2.16.rc1/src/doveadm/doveadm-print-table.c Wed Mar 18 15:40:40 2015 +++ b/dovecot-2.2.16.rc1/src/doveadm/doveadm-print-table.c Wed Mar 18 15:41:18 2015 @@ -151,3 +151,3 @@ for (i = 0; i < count; i++) { - if (i > 0) fprintf(stderr, " "); + if (i > 0) printf(" "); @@ -155,3 +155,3 @@ DOVEADM_PRINT_HEADER_FLAG_RIGHT_JUSTIFY) == 0) { - fprintf(stderr, "%-*s", (int)headers[i].length, + printf("%-*s", (int)headers[i].length, headers[i].title); @@ -158,3 +158,3 @@ } else { - fprintf(stderr, "%*s", (int)headers[i].length, + printf("%*s", (int)headers[i].length, headers[i].title); @@ -162,3 +162,3 @@ } - fprintf(stderr, "\n"); + printf("\n"); } -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

doveadm-server hangs with 100% cpu usage
by Dennis Kuhn 02 Sep '15

02 Sep '15

we have some replication issues. From time to time a doveadm-server process takes 100% cpu in the state recv_mailbox_tree_deletes on the replica. The process runs forever until it is manually killed. Strace on this process doesn't show anything. Sometimes we have several doveadm-server processes in this state, all for the same account, all with 100% CPU Load. The logfile on the master says: Error: Timeout during state=recv_mailbox_tree Error: dsync(dobby5.heinlein-support.de): I/O has stalled, no activity for 600 seconds My workaround is to delete the user directory on the replica so that the whole account is replicated again. This solves the problem for this specific account. The dovecot version is 2.2.15 on the master and 2.2.16 on the replica.
