Helper to open "/doc/wiki/.." paths; suggestions
by Christian Jaeger 18 Jul '15

18 Jul '15

I wrote this script to have an easier time looking at the doc paths referenced from the default configuration files (currently using dovecot in Debian oldstable). Feel free to include in the distribution or wherever. Probably a better solution would be to publish the config files with the paths already expanded to the online URL, or a local filesystem path that works (in the latter case, I'd wish the docs would be bundled in html format). I wonder whether to approach the debian maintainer about this or the Dovecot team? Definitely something for the maintainer is to put the bundled docs in a place where I would have expected it (/usr/share/docs/dovecot/wiki/ instead of /usr/share/docs/dovecot-core/dovecot/wiki/, or a dovecot-doc package, also, links or mentions from the doc dirs of all dovecot packages to the docs). Also, I think there should be a README document that serves as the first introduction of the user to how to configure the system: how are the config files split up, what does "!include" mean (why the "!"? Is it a comment char?), other rules on the config file format. I.e. the basics to enable the new user to go about reading the current config and where to find further docs/help. Thanks & Cheers, Christian.

Getting duplicated mails while using imapc and dsync
by Michael 17 Jul '15

17 Jul '15

Hello list, currently I'm migrating our old mailserver to a new mail architecture that is based on a master-master dovecot setup (two machines). The replication actually works but I'm also syncing our mails from the current mailserver via imapc on a regular schedule. For some reason I've in most (but not all) imapc-synced mailboxes duplicated emails that I also can't deduplicate with doveadm. I've also set up test-mailboxes that I don't sync with imapc and in those I don't have any duplicated mails. My command to sync the mails from the old host to the master-master system looks as follows: doveadm -o imapc_user=$i*dovemig -o imapc_password=<password> -o imapc_host=<oldhost> -o imapc_features="rfc822.size fetch-headers" -o mail_prefetch_count=20 -v -D sync -R -u$EMAIL imapc: &> $LOGS/$i.log So, is this actually the wrong approach to sync mails from the old host to the new one or is it just not recommended to sync them over-and-over again in such a setup via imapc or is it better to sync them only once? Any hint/pointing me to the right solution is greatly appreciated. Michael

Dovecot-EE repository for Debian 8 (Jessie/stable)
by Bernhard Schmidt 17 Jul '15

17 Jul '15

Hi, are there plans to support Debian 8 (alias stable, alias jessie) in the dovecot-ee repository? Currently there are only squeeze and wheezy repos. The wheezy repo is uninstallable due to an unsatisfyable dependency on libicu48. Of course you can install libicu48 from Wheezy on a Jessie system, but this will break security updates and might not be the best idea for a library like that. Bernhard

Quota policy service not rejecting messages when user over quota
by james＠lottspot.com 17 Jul '15

For some very odd reason, the quota-status service is failing to enforce quotas. Every other aspect of my configuration is working with absolutely no problems. When I attempt delivery via LTMP, the message is, as expected, rejected due to the user's inbox being full. root@smtp:/usr/local/etc/mail-config # nc -U /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp < 220 mx0.lottspot.com Dovecot ready. > LHLO localhost < 250-mx0.lottspot.com < 250-8BITMIME < 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES < 250 PIPELINING > MAIL FROM:<root@localhost> < 250 2.1.0 OK > RCPT TO:<james(a)lottspot.vpn> < 552 5.2.2 <james(a)lottspot.vpn> Quota exceeded (mailbox for user is full) The policy service however, just lets everything go right through. I know that accessing the userdb is not an issue, because I passed a bogus user before passing my real user and received the expected response. root@smtp:/usr/local/etc/mail-config # nc -U /var/spool/postfix/private/policy-quota > recipient=noop(a)fake.tld > < action=551 User not found < > recipient=james(a)lottspot.vpn > < action=250 Quota status success < I'm using Dovecot 2.2.15, and I have included my quota configuration below. If anyone wants to see full doveconf -n output, I can provide it, but figured it was a bit much for this case. Thanks in advance for any pointers! --> Note: I'm the quota_status_* directives have been set as is for testing purposes only. I'm fully aware not to do that in production. plugin { quota = maildir:User quota quota_rule = *:bytes=1G quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+10%% quota_status_success = "250 Quota status success" quota_status_nouser = "551 User not found" quota_status_overquota = "552 5.2.2 Recipient mailbox is full" } service quota-status { executable = quota-status -p postfix unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/policy-quota { user = postfix group = wheel mode = 0666 } }

[Sieve] Unable to fileinto subfolders
by james＠lottspot.com 17 Jul '15

17 Jul '15

Hello again list! I am configuring a server running Dovecot 2.2.15 (Pigeonhole 0.4.6), and I am having an issue with Sieve scripts where I cannot sort messages into a subfolder of a mailbox. An email which is matched by the following script: require "fileinto"; if header :contains "Subject" "[SORT ME]" { fileinto "INBOX.Sorted"; } Yields the following error: Jul 16 18:54:46 smtp dovecot: lmtp(james(a)lottspot.vpn): Error: DiJmNGZgqFWLFAEANWXNPw: sieve: msgid=<4973528.yvy4Yu8Tt4@arch_project>: failed to store into mailbox 'INBOX.Sorted': Character not allowed in mailbox name: '.' As far as I can tell based on the Sieve usage page in the wiki (http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Pigeonhole/Sieve/Usage) this is *supposed* to work. I have included my namespace configuration below, but if anyone wants the whole doveconf -n, I will gladly provide it. Thanks in advance for any help! namespace inbox { type = private separator = / prefix = inbox = yes mailbox Drafts { auto = subscribe special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Sent { auto = subscribe special_use = \Sent } mailbox Spam { auto = subscribe special_use = \Junk } mailbox Trash { auto = subscribe special_use = \Trash } } namespace { type = shared separator = / prefix = shared/%%d/%%n/ location = maildir:/home/%%d/%%n/mail:INDEX=~/indexes/%%d/%%n:INDEXPVT=~/indexes/%%d/%%n subscriptions = no list = children }

question on Dovecot replication
by Arnold Wang 17 Jul '15

17 Jul '15

I'm running Dovecot 2.2.x and have a question on its replication capability. I plan to run Dovecot in two different sites with two nodes at each site. My question is how many replication partners can each Dovecot node have? Can I define three "mail_replica" entries in every node so any message received by one node will be replicated to three other nodes automatically? Thanks in advance for your help.

Admin access to sieve filters with managesieve
by Christian Theune 15 Jul '15

15 Jul '15

Hi, I’ve been a long-time user of Cyrus and started using sieve with Dovecot recently. A question that came up is: how do I access a users’s sieve scripts through managesieve without their credentials? Managesieve allows separating authentation and the corresponding mailbox identification, right? That’s what I used with cyrus sieve all the time. :) I didn’t find documentation in the wiki or googling where to configure someone as admin in Dovecot so he can access foreign sieve scripts through managesieve. Pointers? Am I using the right words?

doveadm search -A problem with dropped privileges
by Sebastian Kricner 14 Jul '15

14 Jul '15

Hello, if you want to answer to this mail, please send it directly to me. I have found a big issue with the following command "doveadm -search -A". It whatsoever works by setting doveadm_worker_count = 0 in the dovecot.conf configuration file. The problem is that doveadm-server or something similar uses privileges of "nobody" and so it fails searching e-mails. Instead also the process tries to create a maildir for "nobody": Debug: Namespace : /var/mail/nobody doesn't exist yet, using default permissions Debug: Namespace : Using permissions from /var/mail/nobody: mode=0700 gid=default Error: User initialization failed: Namespace '': mkdir(/var/mail/nobody) failed: Permission denied (euid=65534(nobody) egid=65534(nobody) missing +w perm: /var/mail, we're not in group 12(mail), dir owned by 0:12 mode=0775) Error: search: User init failed Error: userdb lookup: connect(/var/run/dovecot//auth-userdb) failed: Permission denied (euid=65534(nobody) egid=65534(nobody) missing +r perm: /var/run/dovecot//auth-userdb, we're not in group 12(mail), dir owned by 0:0 mode=0755) Error: search: User lookup failed: Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. Even after setting permissions, so that the process can create a maildir for "nobody" in the /var/mail location, it fails to "setresgid" to the particular user to be scanned. It can´t work because it is not possible to gain other user privileges from another user. # 2.2.16: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.4.7 # OS: Linux Gentoo Base System release 2.2 auth_cache_negative_ttl = xx mins auth_cache_size = xx M auth_cache_ttl = xx mins auth_mechanisms = xx xx auth_worker_max_count = xx base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/ default_process_limit = xx dict { expire = sqlite:/xx } doveadm_worker_count = 1 first_valid_gid = xx first_valid_uid = xx login_greeting = xx.xx mail_location = maildir:/xx/xx/%u mail_privileged_group = xx managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date index ihave duplicate passdb { args = scheme=SHA512 /xx/xx/xx.xx driver = passwd-file } plugin { expire = xx expire2 = xx expire_dict = proxy::expire sieve = ~/.xx.xx sieve_dir = ~/.xx } protocols = imap sieve service auth { unix_listener auth-client { group = xx mode = 0660 } unix_listener auth-userdb { group = xx mode = 0660 } } service dict { unix_listener dict { mode = 0666 } } service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 0 } process_limit = 6 service_count = 1 } ssl_cert = </xx/xx/xx/xx.xx.xx ssl_key = </xx/xx/xx/xx.xx.xx ssl_parameters_regenerate = xx days userdb { driver = passwd } protocol lda { mail_plugins = sieve expire } protocol imap { imap_idle_notify_interval = xx mins mail_max_userip_connections = xx mail_plugins = expire } Regards Sebastian Kricner -- http://tuxwave.net -- the difference to think makes it real!
