Replication sieve scripts.
by Luescher Claude 26 Feb '17

26 Feb '17

Hello, Following up on old thread: http://www.dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2014-December/099003.html I have the exact same issue with 2.2.10: ii dovecot-antispam 2.0+20130822-2 amd64 Dovecot plugins for training spam filters ii dovecot-core 1:2.2.10-1 amd64 secure POP3/IMAP server - core files ii dovecot-imapd 1:2.2.10-1 amd64 secure POP3/IMAP server - IMAP daemon ii dovecot-ldap 1:2.2.10-1 amd64 secure POP3/IMAP server - LDAP support ii dovecot-lmtpd 1:2.2.10-1 amd64 secure POP3/IMAP server - LMTP server ii dovecot-managesieved 1:2.2.10-1 amd64 secure POP3/IMAP server - ManageSieve server ii dovecot-mysql 1:2.2.10-1 amd64 secure POP3/IMAP server - MySQL support ii dovecot-pop3d 1:2.2.10-1 amd64 secure POP3/IMAP server - POP3 daemon ii dovecot-sieve 1:2.2.10-1 amd64 secure POP3/IMAP server - Sieve filters support As even his version should already support sieve replication through dsync mine would have to support it for sure but I would like to hear a confirmation from the developers. The mail sync just works perfectly between the 2 nodes, it is only the sieve scripts which don't get replicated. I have tried to add additional sieve related options to the replicator: service replicator { process_min_avail = 1 } plugin { mail_replica = tcp:1.2.3.4 replication_full_sync_interval = 1 hours #Added (makes no difference) sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve_after sieve_extensions = +vnd.dovecot.duplicate sieve_duplicate_period = 1h #Added (makes no difference) } service aggregator { fifo_listener replication-notify-fifo { user = vmail } unix_listener replication-notify { user = vmail } } It did not help. If there is one way I would like to get this work without upgrading dovecot. Thank you.

antispam plugin pipe backend error when moving multiple emails
by Stéphane Cottin 12 Feb '17

12 Feb '17

Hi, I've got some trouble with the dovecot antispam plugin and the pipe backend. I'm using dovecot 2.2.18 with maildirs and zlib compression enabled. When moving 2 or more emails at once from the Junk folder to another one, I always have the following error : "Failed to copy to temporary file" In the server logs : imap(vvv(a)vvv.vvv): Error: read(zlib(/data/Maildir/.test/tmp/1446974366.M123890P936.vvv)) failed: Cached message size smaller than expected (13553 < 13562, box=test, UID=0) The same operation with one email at a time, on the same emails, works as expected.

Reappearing emails
by Ron Cleven 17 Jan '17

17 Jan '17

We have been running Dovecot 2.2.10 with a pair of CentOS 7 boxes with replications for the past year. We have been quite happy with the performance and reliability. Recently we received a report from an Android IMAP user that emails that he deleted without reading would often reappear in his INBOX. At first I thought it might be some quirky incompatibility with his email client, but I found that I could easily reproduce it in Roundcube by dragging an unread email to Trash. I have been monitoring this forum fairly religiously and don't recall seeing any similar reports. I plan to capture the IMAP wire interactions, but before doing that, I thought I would submit this to the IMAP gods to see if anyone had heard of this and/or if there is some newer version that might resolve the problem. This particular customer contacted his email vendor and asked them to analyze the problem. The actual log data is gigantic, so I just pasted in the vendor's narrative below in case it helps. Otherwise, as I said, I will capture a similar interaction at the wire level and follow up here. Vendor's narrative: You had 8 messages in the Inbox, and moved two to Trash. The server notified the app on the push connection (for Inbox) that there are now 6 messages. By the time the app got around to catch up with that (it did the Trash folder first), the server said "oh wait, there are 8 messages, not 6" (in the Inbox), and so the app synced them in, just as reported. app selecting the Inbox, server saying there are 8 messages there app moving UID 729 and 730 to Trash (push) server saying Trash now has 34 messages (push) server saying two messages gone from Inbox, 6 left (push) 6 messages left in Inbox becoming 8 (push) and here they are (the two new ones) Thanks, Ron

Replication: Can't unsubscribe from shared mailbox
by Karsten Heiken 16 Jan '17

16 Jan '17

Hi, I am running two dovecot servers active/active. Everything runs pretty great, except for the replication of subscriptions in a shared namespace. When I unsubscribe from a folder the subscription instantly re-appears. The timestamp on the subscriptions file is updated, but the entry is still in there. If the other node is shut down, everything works as expected, which leads me to believe that the subscription is re-applied upon a replicator-run. I attached a tcpdump of a dsync run. The only action that was executed was to unsubscribe from the folder shared/weinrot(a)luis.uni-hannover.de/INBOX. Is there any other way I might help debugging this? Thanks, Karsten # 2.2.24 (a82c823): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.4.13 (7b14904) # OS: Linux 2.6.32-44-pve x86_64 Debian 8.5 default_vsz_limit = 512 M dict { acl = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext } imap_max_line_length = 2 M lmtp_rcpt_check_quota = yes mail_attribute_dict = file:%h/Maildir/dovecot-attributes mail_gid = 7777 mail_location = maildir:%h/Maildir:LAYOUT=fs:DIRNAME=maiLdir mail_plugins = " zlib quota acl notify replication " mail_shared_explicit_inbox = yes mail_uid = 7777 mailbox_list_index = yes 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 mime foreverypart extracttext imapflags notify namespace { hidden = no ignore_on_failure = no inbox = no list = children location = maildir:%%h/Maildir:INDEXPVT=%h/shared/%%u:LAYOUT=fs:DIRNAME=maiLdir prefix = shared/%%u/ separator = / subscriptions = yes type = shared } namespace inbox { hidden = no inbox = yes list = yes location = mailbox 30dTrash { auto = subscribe autoexpunge = 30 days special_use = \Junk } mailbox Drafts { auto = subscribe special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Sent { auto = subscribe special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { auto = subscribe special_use = \Trash } prefix = separator = / subscriptions = yes type = private } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext driver = ldap } plugin { acl = vfile acl_shared_dict = proxy::acl mail_replica = tcp:10.6.1.10:24245 quota = maildir:Postfach-Limit quota_grace = 2%% quota_rule = *:storage=8G quota_status_nouser = DUNNO quota_status_overquota = 552 5.2.2 Mailbox is full quota_status_success = DUNNO sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve sieve_extensions = +notify +imapflags sieve_max_actions = 250 sieve_max_redirects = 200 zlib_save = gz zlib_save_level = 6 } protocols = " imap lmtp sieve pop3 sieve" replication_dsync_parameters = -d -l 300 -U -N service aggregator { fifo_listener replication-notify-fifo { user = vmail } unix_listener replication-notify { user = vmail } } service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { group = vmail user = vmail } } service dict { unix_listener dict { group = vmail mode = 0660 user = vmail } } service doveadm { inet_listener { port = 24245 } } service imap-login { process_min_avail = 16 service_count = 0 } service imap { executable = imap postlogin process_limit = 30000 } service lmtp { inet_listener lmtp { port = 24 } vsz_limit = 1 G } service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve { port = 4190 } } service managesieve { process_limit = 1024 } service pop3-login { process_min_avail = 4 service_count = 0 } service pop3 { process_limit = 2500 } service postlogin { executable = script-login -d rawlog /usr/local/bin/dovecot-postlogin.sh } service quota-status { client_limit = 1 executable = quota-status -p postfix inet_listener { port = 12340 } } service replicator { process_min_avail = 1 unix_listener replicator-doveadm { mode = 0600 user = vmail } } shutdown_clients = no ssl_cert = </etc/dovecot/private/fullchain.pem ssl_key = </etc/dovecot/private/privkey.pem syslog_facility = local6 userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext default_fields = home=/var/vmail/%Ld/%Ln quota_rule=*:bytes=8589934592 driver = ldap } verbose_proctitle = yes protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = " zlib quota acl notify replication sieve quota" } protocol lda { mail_plugins = " zlib quota acl notify replication sieve" } protocol imap { imap_metadata = yes mail_max_userip_connections = 100 mail_plugins = " zlib quota acl notify replication imap_quota imap_acl" } protocol pop3 { mail_max_userip_connections = 10 mail_plugins = " zlib quota acl notify replication" }

RFC 3501 violation in FETCH BODY responses
by Guilhem Moulin 18 Dec '16

18 Dec '16

Hi there, Quoting RFC 3501 sec. 7.4.2 “FETCH Response” (data item BODYSTRUCTURE): “A body type of type MESSAGE and subtype RFC822 contains, immediately after the basic fields, the envelope structure, body structure, and size in text lines of the encapsulated message.” According the ABNF (RFC 3501 sec. 9) the envelope structure is that of the ENVELOPE FETCH data item, and the env-{from,sender,reply-to,to,cc, bcc} fields are non-space-separated address lists: body-type-msg = media-message SP body-fields SP envelope SP body SP body-fld-lines envelope = "(" env-from SP … SP env-to SP … ")" env-from = "(" 1*address ")" / nil env-to = "(" 1*address ")" / nil While this is indeed the case for ‘FETCH … (ENVELOPE)’, for ‘FETCH … (BODY)’ dovecot 2.2.25 adds a space between addresses of an address list of the envelope structure of an encapsulated MESSAGE/RFC822 message. See the attached patch to ‘src/lib-imap/test-imap-bodystructure.c’, which currently (2.2.25) fails as follows test-imap-bodystructure.c:122: Assert failed: strcmp(str_c(str), testmsg_body) == 0 test-imap-bodystructure.c:129: Assert failed: strcmp(str_c(str), testmsg_bodystructure) == 0 imap bodystructure parser ............................................ : FAILED because the ‘env-to’ field of the envelope structure of the encapsulated MESSAGE/RFC822 message is printed as ((NIL NIL "sub-to1" "domain.org") (NIL NIL "sub-to2" "domain.org")) while it should be ((NIL NIL "sub-to1" "domain.org")(NIL NIL "sub-to2" "domain.org")) After a quick look at the source, this seems to be due to src/lib-imap/imap-bodystructure.c:imap_write_list, which always separates list items with spaces. In the case of an envelope, only the top-level list should be space-separated. Indeed, not adding a space between items of type IMAP_ARG_LIST in the recursive call makes the test pass again. Cheers, -- Guilhem.

Implementing secondary quota w/ "Archive" namespace
by Fred Turner 01 Dec '16

01 Dec '16

Hello folks— My first post, so please be gentle… :-) I have a client email server using SSDs for primary user mailboxes, but since the number of users keeps growing and they all seem to be very reluctant to delete anything, I’ve implemented an “Archive” namespace that stores its mailboxes on a larger HD RAID. The idea is that, as the users approach their quota, they move messages to the Archive mailboxes to alleviate space in their primary Inbox namespace. This secondary storage part is working well, but I’m having trouble w/ getting the quotas to work right. Here are the basics of the setup: Mac Pro Server 2012 Mac OS X Server 10.6.8 Dovecot 1.1.20apple0.5 Here is how I’ve configured my namespaces (during testing): namespace private { separator = / prefix = inbox = yes } namespace private { separator = / prefix = testArchive/ location = maildir:/Shared Items/MailArchive/%u subscriptions = yes } My quota research has led me to try this: quota = maildir:User quota:ns= quota2 = maildir:ns=testArchive/ quota2_rule = *:storage=20G The first line is already in the default config, with the exception of the added “:ns=“ at the end. The 2nd line in the examples I saw had a middle component w/ the quota name, but when I tried that, like so: quota2 = maildir:Archive quota:ns=testArchive/ my server fails and shows this in the logs: > Fatal: IMAP(*): Quota root test backend maildir: Unknown parameter: ns=testArchive/ Any idea why it doesn’t like that? Also, do I need to add a quota_rule for the primary quota? It does not have one normally in the Mac OS X Server config… Thus far in my testing, I’ve been able to get the 2 quotas to show up in Roundcube and Mac Mail.app. It’s a little messy…the first shows up as “User quota”, the 2nd as “ns=testArchive/“, presumably because I cannot leave the description field in there. Unfortunately, both quotas show the same amount of space in use. If I drop the primary quota to a mere 4MB for testing, and if I have 5.2MB of messages in a testArchive folder, the space used for “User quota” shows as 5.2MB (>100%), as does the “ns=testArchive/“ quota (which is 20GB). In actuality, the Inbox namespace is really only using a few KB— the 5.2MB is in the testArchive namespace. This means that I cannot move messages between either set of namespaces, and new messages are not delivered. So, the quota trouble here is negating the whole point of having the Archive namespace... Is there a way to get Dovecot to “see” the 2 quotas as unique/discrete? It seems like I’m close to accomplishing what I want, but just can’t quite get it to cooperate. And that “Unknown parameter” error is bewildering. Any ideas? Thx, Fred P.S. I can add my Dovecot config to the thread upon request…didn’t want to make this initial message even longer.

Self-Signed Certificate issue
by Darryl Baker 13 Nov '16

13 Nov '16

My apologies if this is a repeat but my search of the archive did not turn it up in the recent past. If this has been covered just point me at the previous thread, please. I am running a small email site which I am moving from uw-imapd and Solaris to Ubuntu and Dovecot imaps and pop3s. I am trying to use a self-signed certificate for this site. I am using Thunderbird as the test client. I've tried both the pre-built snakeoil certificate and building a special one for dovecot. In /var/log/mail.err I keep getting what I am interpreting as a missing CA cert. The message is: dovecot: imap-login: Error: SSL: Stacked error: error:14094418:SSL routines:ssl3_read_bytes:tlsv1 alert unknown ca: SSL alert number 48 The certificate was created by: openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -nodes -out /etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem -keyout /etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem The Dovecot version is 2.2.22 (fe789d2) The Ubuntu version is 16.04 LTS current patches. *Darryl Baker*

logging TLS SNI hostname
by Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz 08 Nov '16

08 Nov '16

Is there a way to log SNI hostname used in TLS session? Info is there in SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback, dovecot copies it to ssl_io->host. Unfortunately I don't see it expanded to any variables ( http://wiki.dovecot.org/Variables ). Please consider this to be a feature request. The goal is to be able to see which hostname client used like: May 30 08:21:19 xxx dovecot: pop3-login: Login: user=<abc>, method=PLAIN, rip=1.1.1.1, lip=2.2.2.2, mpid=17135, TLS, SNI=pop3.somehost.org, session=<hfS9Qwk03sBTBnrN> -- Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz, arekm / ( maven.pl | pld-linux.org )

Maildir Expunged GUID mismatch for UID
by Steven Xu 14 Oct '16

14 Oct '16

Dovecot version:2.2.25 Since we used to keep our email files on widows server, I made the following changes in maildir-storage.h #define MAILDIR_EXTRA_SEP ',' #define MAILDIR_INFO_SEP_S ":" to "+". Everything seems working except EXPUNG, The dovecot log is flooded by messages like following: imap(xxxxx): Error: Mailbox INBOX: Expunged GUID mismatch for UID 7039 Then I read the source code, and found the following lines in maildir-sync-index.c T_BEGIN { guid = maildir_uidlist_lookup_ext(ctx->mbox->uidlist, uid, MAILDIR_UIDLIST_REC_EXT_GUID); if (guid == NULL) guid = t_strcut(filename, ':'); mail_generate_guid_128_hash(guid, guid_128); } T_END; I have to change the code to guid = t_strcut(filename, '+'); So, should MAILDIR_EXTRA_SEP be used here instead of ':'? Thanks, Steven
