Released Pigeonhole v0.4.13 for Dovecot v2.2.22.
by Stephan Bosch 18 Mar '16

18 Mar '16

Hello Dovecot users, Here is the final v0.4.13 release of Pigeonhole for Dovecot v2.2.22. Nothing changed since the RC. Changelog v0.4.13: * redirect action: Added the list-id header to the duplicate ID for mail loop prevention. This means that the message sent directly to the user and the message coming through the mailing list itself are treated as different messages by the loop detection of the redirect command, even though their Message-ID may be identical. * Changed the Sieve number type to uint64_t, which means that Sieve numbers can now technically range up to 2^64. Some other Sieve implementation allowed this, making this change necessary for successful migration. + Implemented the sieve_implicit_extensions setting. The extensions listed in this setting do not need to be enabled explicitly using the Sieve "require" command. This behavior directkly violates the standard, but can be necessary for compatibility with some existing implementations of Sieve. Do not use this setting unless you really need to! - redirect action: Made mail loop detection more robust by forcibly adding a Message-ID header if it is missing. - Prevent logging a useless "script not found" error message for LDAP scripts for which the entry exists but no attribute containing a script. This is not necessarily an error. - extprograms plugin: Changed the communication channel between parent and child process for a directly forked program from a socketpair to a double pipe. Linux does not support /dev/stdin, /dev/stdout and friends for sockets. For some shell program authors this may be confusing, so that is why it is changed. When using the script service, these device nodes are still not usable though. The release is available as follows: http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.13.ta… http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.13.ta… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x wiki for more information. Have fun testing this release and don't hesitate to notify me when there are any problems. Regards, -- Stephan Bosch stephan(a)rename-it.nl

Trouble getting vnd.dovecot.filter and filter visible/usable...
by Tolbert, Joshua P 17 Mar '16

17 Mar '16

Hello, I’m trying to make vnd.dovecot.filter available both globally and for users through sieve, but I haven’t had much luck getting things to work right. Sieve scripts won’t validate and vnd.dovecot.filter never shows up in the managesieve capability list. I’ve spent lots of time looking for where problems could be, but I’m out of ideas…So I’m asking you guys. In the protocol lmtp section, I’m defining mail_plugins = $mail_plugins sieve, however I’ve tried it without $mail_plugins too…No luck that way either. Any help/advice would be much appreciated. Thanks! Cheers, Josh

Looking for way to monitor dsync, confirm it is or isn't running
by Rich Wales 17 Mar '16

17 Mar '16

I am syncing two Dovecot sites using the dsync function. I would like to be able to run some sort of periodic health check to confirm that dsync is (or is not) running properly between the two sites, and alert me if dsync is failing or lagging excessively. Does anyone know of a tool to do this? (If possible, something I can set up to run periodically in Nagios?) Thanks for any suggestions. Rich Wales richw(a)richw.org

Xi has a new home
by Stephan Bosch 17 Mar '16

17 Mar '16

Hi, The automatic package builder Xi has moved to system within the Dovecot infrastructure. This also means that the repositories are available at a new host name: xi.dovecot.fi. The old host name still works and is a CNAME pointing to the new venue. I expect the old domain to be active for years to come. So, there is no need to update your /etc/apt/sources.list right away. Still, it is a good idea to do so. I've updated the wiki accordingly. Regards, Stephan.

Re: spamc during dovecot-smtp delivery?

[cc'ing the list for posterity] also sprach Tolbert, Joshua P <jtolbert(a)illinois.edu> [2016-03-16 21:46 +0100]: > I’ve been working on a Postfix/Dovecot/sieve mail server migration > (from Sendmail/Dovecot/procmail) and ran in to a similar problem > to one you talked about a while ago on the dovecot mailing lists. > Did you ever find a good solution for running spamc as the > destination user in sieve? If you did, mind sharing? Thanks! I've never had a problem again since upgrading to Debian jessie, but I also think that the problem's solution was installing a NSS cache, because the deadlocks seemed to take place between Spamassassin and libnss-pgsql2. Transport from Postfix to Dovecot is lmtp:unix:private/dovecot-lmtp (no idea how to do that with Sendmail or why you'd want to use Sendmail) and then Dovecot's sieve is configured to run a filter using /etc/dovecot/sieve.before.d: require [ "vnd.dovecot.filter"]; filter "spamc" [ "--no-safe-fallback" ]; which is enabled in conf.d/90-sieve.conf with sieve_before = /etc/dovecot/sieve.before.d sieve_global_extensions = +vnd.dovecot.filter sieve_plugins = sieve_extprograms and in conf.d/90-sieve-extprograms.conf sieve_filter_bin_dir = /etc/dovecot/sieve-filter and then I made a simple symlink from /etc/dovecot/sieve-filter → /usr/bin/spamc Spamassassin starts with --create-prefs --helper-home-dir --allow-tell and the final step is to integrate the mail user database (vmm in my case) with libnss to provide spamassassin with a way to identify home directories. I use libnss-pgsql2. The /etc/nss-pgsql.conf file I use is available here: http://bugs.debian.org/818465 A successful delivery then looks like this: postfix/smtpd[29778]: connect from mail1.smtp.mailserver4.de[62.216.179.241] postfix/smtpd[29778]: 6D2F74024E: client=mail1.smtp.mailserver4.de[62.216.179.241] postfix/cleanup[32593]: 6D2F74024E: message-id=<xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> postfix/smtpd[29778]: disconnect from mail1.smtp.mailserver4.de[62.216.179.241] dovecot: lmtp(3570): Connect from local spamd[2140]: spamd: connection from localhost [::1]:57032 to port 783, fd 6 spamd[2140]: spamd: setuid to xxxxxxx%yyyyyyyyyy.zz succeeded spamd[2140]: spamd: processing message <xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> for xxxxxxx%yyyyyyyy.zz:70032 spamd[2140]: spamd: clean message (-1.9/5.0) for xxxxxxx%yyyyyyyy.zz:70032 in 3.0 seconds, 10222 bytes. spamd[2140]: spamd: result: . -1 - BAYES_00,DKIM_SIGNED,DKIM_VALID,HEADER_FROM_DIFFERENT_DOMAINS,HTML_MESSAGE,RCVD_IN_DNSWL_NONE scantime=3.0,size=10222,user=xxxxxxx%yyyyyyyy.zz,uid=70032,required_score=5.0,rhost=localhost,raddr=::1,rport=57032,mid=<xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>,bayes=0.000000,autolearn=ham autolearn_force=no dovecot: lmtp(3570, xxxxxxx(a)yyyyyyyy.zz) copy from (file): box=INBOX, uid=30613, msgid=<xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, size=10945 dovecot: lmtp(3570, xxxxxxx(a)yyyyyyyy.zz) QLZ6IoJ/6lbyDQAARsnb6w: sieve: msgid=<xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>: stored mail into mailbox 'INBOX' postfix/lmtp[3569]: 6D2F74024E: to=<xxxxxxx(a)yyyyyyyy.zz>, orig_to=<aaaaaa(a)bbbbbbb.zz>, relay=ambassador.madduck.net[private/dovecot-lmtp], delay=5, delays=2/0.02/0.01/3, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 <xxxxxxx(a)yyyyyyyy.zz> QLZ6IoJ/6lbyDQAARsnb6w Saved) dovecot: lmtp(3570): Disconnect from local: Successful quit Hope this helps… -- @martinkrafft | http://madduck.net/ | http://two.sentenc.es/ "the public is wonderfully tolerant. it forgives everything except genius." -- oscar wilde spamtraps: madduck.bogus(a)madduck.net

by Zhang Huangbin 16 Mar '16

16 Mar '16

Dear all, I'm trying to encrypt/decrypt mail body with Dovecot plugin 'mail_filter': http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/MailFilter I wrote a Python script to read mail body and encrypt it, the encryption/decryption part is working as expected, but Dovecot always fail to write modified email on disk: Error: Cached message size smaller than expected (1575 < 1644) Error: Maildir filename has wrong S value, renamed the file from /var/vmail/domain.com/user/cur/1458165453.M632521P17600.c7.iredmail.org,S=1575:2, to /var/vmail/domain.com/user/cur/1458165453.M632521P17600.c7.iredmail.org,S=1575:2, Error: Corrupted index cache file /var/vmail/domain.com/user/dovecot.index.cache: Broken physical size for mail UID 4 Error: read() failed: Invalid argument (uid=4) I know this behave is clearly explained in Dovecot wiki page, the question is, is there any way to overcome this and let Dovecot correctly handle the encrypted/decrypted mail? Thanks. :)

overview zlib efficiency?
by Götz Reinicke - IT Koordinator 16 Mar '16

16 Mar '16

Hi, may be someone has already done that: Do you have a script(?) tool which shows the efficiency of the mail compression if zlib is used? Something that shows the uncompressed size vrs. the compressed. Thanks for hints! /Götz
