userdb username change ignored when using (My)SQL was: Re: userdb username changed
by Péter Márton 17 Dec '15

Hi! It works when using LDAP. I've duplicated the "username change" debug line, just to see that the variables are really updated: Apr 20 14:30:27 imap21 dovecot: auth-worker(27127): Debug: sql(ppp(a)example.net): username changed ppp(a)example.net -> uppp Apr 20 14:30:27 imap21 dovecot: auth-worker(27127): Debug: sql(uppp): username changed uppp -> uppp Apr 20 14:30:27 imap21 dovecot: auth: Debug: userdb out: USER#0111#011ppp@example.net#011home=/home/ppp#011uid=500#011gid=500#011quota_rule=*:storage=3100b:messages=1024 And the answer is of course yes. Just the userdb out string has the wrong value. The right value is lost somewhere. But where? Regards, Peter Log of the (for me unusable) LDAP query: Apr 20 14:28:07 imap21 dovecot: auth: Debug: master in: USER#0111#011m2500j6#011service=doveadm Apr 20 14:28:07 imap21 dovecot: auth: Debug: ldap(m2500j6): user search: base=ou=Users,ou=Mail,dc=bnet,dc=at scope=subtree filter=(uid=m2500j6) fields=mailHost Apr 20 14:28:07 imap21 dovecot: auth: Debug: ldap(m2500j6): result: mailHost=localhost; mailHost unused Apr 20 14:28:07 imap21 dovecot: auth: Debug: ldap(m2500j6): username changed m2500j6 -> localhost Apr 20 14:28:07 imap21 dovecot: auth: Debug: ldap(localhost): username changed localhost -> localhost Apr 20 14:28:07 imap21 dovecot: auth: Debug: ldap(localhost): result: mailHost=localhost Apr 20 14:28:07 imap21 dovecot: auth: Debug: userdb out: USER#0111#011localhost#011

doveadm-server does NOT know fts commands
by SATOH Fumiyasu 16 Dec '15

Hi, I'm using Dovecot 2.2.13 with Dovecot Director, Doveadm server and FTS. I want to run doveadm on Director hosts, but Dovecot server on backend hosts reject "fts *" commands. On Dovecot Director hosts: # doveadm fts optimize -u u0001(a)example.jp # echo $? 75 # doveadm fts rescan -u u0001(a)example.jp # echo $? 75 doveadm index -u u0001(a)example.jp INBOX # echo $? 0 On Dovecot backend hosts: # grep doveadm /var/log/maillog Jul 14 10:25:40 backend dovecot: doveadm: Error: doveadm: Client sent unknown command: fts optimize Jul 14 10:25:51 backend dovecot: doveadm: Error: doveadm: Client sent unknown command: fts rescan Is this doveadm-server restriction?

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++) {

SIS attachments compressed
by Juan Carlos Sanchez 06 Dec '15

06 Dec '15

Hello: In case it is defined to use zlib compression, does SIS save attachments compressed? I have found this question replied in the past (2012) and the answer was NO. I ask again just to know if there have been changes or if it is in the roadmap to add compression. I have been testing to migrate from maildir+zlib to mdbox+zlib+sis and the results, in terms of space used, and worst than using just mdbox+zlib (without SIS), and suppose the reason in the lack of compression in attachments. Thanks in advance. -- ------------------------------------------------------ Juan Carlos Sanchez Hernandez Responsable de Seguridad y Correo Electronico Servicio de Planificacion Informatica y Comunicaciones Universidad Politecnica de Madrid Rectorado Avda.

Re: Questions about hardlinks, alternate storage and compression
by Gionatan Danti 26 Nov '15

26 Nov '15

Hi Javier, thanks for your reply. I already checked SIS and, while interesting, is not what I want, because: 1) it can be difficult to restore a single message/attachment from a backup 2) only the attachments, and not the entire messages, are deduped. Message-based hardlinks really exists for a reason. The good news is that I found _why_ they are not working: it depends from how dovecot and its sieve plugin (pigenhole) interact. Basically, if I define anything for the before_sieve and after_sieve variables, dovecot stops creating hardlinks for multiple copies of the same message. On the other hand, private (per-user) sieve file works without interfering with hardlinks. In a similar manner, disabling sieve also permits dovecot to create multiple hardlinks for a single message. Does someone know if newer dovecot versions change anything in this regard? Thank you all. On 13/07/15 11:10, Javier Miguel Rodríguez wrote: > Search about "single instance storage dovecot".

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.

FTS not indexing new folders (mailboxes)
by Francisco Wagner C. Freire 24 Sep '15

24 Sep '15

Hello, Im getting problem on FTS on new created folders (mailboxes). How to simulate: - Enable FTS (solr on our case) - Create a new folder (mailbox) - Move some message to that mailbox - Try to search for the message contents *doveadm search -u user@domain text sometext* # Found nothing, but if i move the message to another mailbox, the search catch the message. # I tried doveadm index command but no response as well # This works only after a full fts rescan *doveadm fts rescan -u user@domain* # And now, works *doveadm search -u user@domain text sometext3c7b60241443ba55af680000cc4d0d4b 1* # My dovecot version = 2.2.18 (EE) # My fts config: fts = solr fts_autoindex = yes fts_autoindex_max_recent_msgs = 50 fts_solr = url=http://127.0.0.1:8080/solr/ Anyone got this problem?

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
