Hi, how much would it cost to sponsor a complete* fix of mailbox aliases? https://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2015-June/101176.html https://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2016-September/105459.html * i.e. without any workarounds like disabling mailbox_list_index Thank you for info. azur

Auto-subscribe but not auto-create
by azurit＠pobox.sk 17 Nov '17

17 Nov '17

Hi, is it, somehow, possible to auto-subscribe a folder IF it exists but NOT auto-create it if it doesn't exists? We have folder 'Spam' which we are using to store messages marked as spam but users are not subscribing to it (most of them simply don't know what it means to subscribe a folder) and are complaining about missing e-mails (which are in 'Spam' folder but they don't see them). Even more, some users don't want from us to move spams into Spam folder so our sieve scripts are set to move spams into INBOX if 'Spam' folder doesn't exists (such users simply remove 'Spam' folder - this is why we don't want to auto-create it). Thanks.

Dovecot lmtp doesn't log
by Tomislav Perisic 17 Nov '17

17 Nov '17

Hi, We have 2 servers, server A and server B. Server A has: Postfix dovecot-2.2.33.2-1.el6.x86_64 Server B has: dovecot-2.2.33.2-1.el6.x86_64 dovecot-pigeonhole-2.2.33.2-1.el6.x86_64 Server A receives email on postfix, dovecot then takes that email from postfix and proxies it to Server B Dovecot. Dovecot on Server B takes the proxied email and delivers it with lmtp to the user inboxes. The problem is that the dovecot on server B Doesn't log anything regarding the emails that are being delivered to the mailbox via lmtp. Dovecot on server A logs everything perfectly regarding the proxy, so my assumption is that there is an issue with Dovecot lmtp logging. We changed the logging from syslog directly to a file and we noticed the same problem, missing log entries. We also tried turning on verbose logging and it didn't help. Server B: Red Hat 6.7 x86_64 rpm -qa | grep dove dovecot-2.2.33.2-1.el6.x86_64 dovecot-pigeonhole-2.2.33.2-1.el6.x86_64 doveconf -n # 2.2.33.2: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.4.21 auth_cache_negative_ttl = 0 auth_debug = yes auth_debug_passwords = yes auth_verbose = yes listen = * mail_debug = yes mail_gid = mail mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir mail_plugins = " quota zlib" mail_uid = vmail managesieve_notify_capability = mailto namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = 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 } mailbox Virus { auto = subscribe } plugin { quota = maildir:User quota sieve_extensions = +editheader sieve_max_actions = 32 sieve_max_redirects = 4 sieve_max_script_size = 1M sieve_quota_max_scripts = 0 sieve_trace_debug = yes sieve_trace_level = matching sieve_vacation_dont_check_recipient = yes sieve_vacation_send_from_recipient = yes sieve_vacation_use_original_recipient = yes zlib_save = gz zlib_save_level = 6 } protocols = imap pop3 lmtp sieve service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { group = mail mode = 0666 user = vmail } } service lmtp { inet_listener lmtp { port = xx } } service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve { port = xx } service_count = 1 } protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = " quota zlib sieve mail_log notify" } protocol imap { mail_plugins = " quota zlib imap_quota imap_zlib" } protocol sieve { managesieve_implementation_string = dovecot managesieve_logout_format = bytes ( in=%i : out=%o ) managesieve_max_line_length = 65536 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 ihave }

If you have only a handful of IPs case "$IP" in 12.34.56.78) exec "$@";; 23.45.67.89) exec "$@";; ... esac If you have CIDR that align neatly on octet boundaries case "$IP" in 12.34.56.*) exec "$@";; 23.45.67.*) exec "$@";; ... esac The toughest situation (using script techniques) is for CIDR ranges just shy of a full octet boundary e.g. /25. You can use "cut -d .", "IFS=." or "expr" to break the IP into octets, then test the components. e.g. 12.34.56.0/25 # Example 1 PART1=`echo $IP | cut -d. -f1,2,3` PART2=`echo $IP | cut -d. -f4` [ "$PART1" = "12.34.56" -a "$PART2" -ge 0 -a "$PART2" -le 127 ] && exec "$@" # Example 2 PART2=`expr "$IP" : '.*\.$[0-9]*$' expr "$IP" : "12.34.56." && [ "$PART2" -ge 0 -a "$PART2" -le 127 ] && exec "$@" # Example 3 (dodgy, I haven't fully thought this through) `echo "$IP" | { IFS=. read a b c PART2; [ "$a.$b.$c" = "12.34.56" -a "$PART2" -ge 0 -a "$PART2" -le 127 ] && echo "exec $@"; }` If you have a busy IMAP server, you'll probably want to use Aki's passdb solution instead, rather than incurring the execution overhead for each and every authentication.

Plugin virtual, Horde BAD IMAP QRESYNC not enabled
by Jakob Schürz 15 Nov '17

15 Nov '17

Hi there! I'm new on this list, so hello to all! First i want say, that dovecot is a really great mailserver. I use it since many years for my private usecase. I'm planning to setup a new Mailserver, so i'm fiddeling around to understand dovecot better and get a "perfect" Mailserver. (Linux and Win10) Outlook, k9mail and the gmail-app on android. I want to leave google behind me, so i'm searching for a good server for cloudbased and selfhosted calendar- and addressbook-server. On some discussion in debianforum.de i got the hint, to use horde. So i installed horde from pear. Got ActiveSync working with the Android and Outlook. Mails, Calendar and Addressbook... very fine. But then i run into a gotcha. There is a problem with some mails in dovecots virtual mailboxes. I tried a lot to find out, how to debug this. First i thought, it's a problem from horde, because the problem is only with horde-client. Some Emails are not shown in horde. Exactly, they are not shown in horde on dovecots virtual mailboxes (plugin virtual in a separate virtual namespace) If i try to open this email in its original directory, it gets opened without any problem. So, when i try to open it from within the virtual mailbox, i get this error: ---8<------ Nov 14 23:29:52 aldebaran dovecot[2495]: imap(jakob): Panic: file index-mail-binary.c: line 586 (index_mail_get_binary_stream): assertion failed: (mail->data.stream != NULL) Nov 14 23:29:52 aldebaran dovecot[2495]: imap(jakob): Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x95272) [0x7f671137e272] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x9536d) [0x7f671137e36d] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_fatal+0) [0x7f6711314951] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(index_mail_get_binary_stream+0x238) [0x7f67116b3de8] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_get_binary_stream+0x60) [0x7f6711640fa0] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(imap_msgpart_open+0x139) [0x7f67116f40f9] -> dovecot/imap [jakob 192.168.0.14 UID FETCH](+0x1ebbc) [0x55bef3095bbc] -> dovecot/imap [jakob 192.168.0.14 UID FETCH](+0x1cfb6) [0x55bef3093fb6] -> dovecot/imap [jakob 192.168.0.14 UID FETCH](imap_fetch_more+0x39) [0x55bef30950e9] -> dovecot/imap [jakob 192.168.0.14 UID FETCH](cmd_fetch+0x33b) [0x55bef3086d9b] -> dovecot/imap [jakob 192.168.0.14 UID FETCH](command_exec+0xa5) [0x55bef3092735] -> dovecot/imap [jakob 192.168.0.14 UID FETCH](+0x199c2) [0x55bef30909c2] -> dovecot/imap [jakob 192.168.0.14 UID FETCH](+0x19a4c) [0x55bef3090a4c] -> dovecot/imap [jakob 192.168.0.14 UID FETCH](client_handle_input+0x1b5) [0x55bef3090e55] -> dovecot/imap [jakob 192.168.0.14 UID FETCH](client_input+0x86) [0x55bef30913c6] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_call_io+0x52) [0x7f6711392dd2] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run_internal+0x109) [0x7f6711394409] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0x3c) [0x7f6711392e6c] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x38) [0x7f6711393018] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(master_service_run+0x13) [0x7f671131ae93] -> dovecot/imap [jakob 192.168.0.14 UID FETCH](main+0x328) [0x55bef3083e68] -> /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf1) [0x7f6710f6a2b1] -> dovecot/imap [jakob 192.168.0.14 UID FETCH](_start+0x2a) [0x55bef3083fea] Nov 14 23:29:52 aldebaran dovecot[2495]: imap(jakob): Fatal: master: service(imap): child 2704 killed with signal 6 (core dumps disabled) ---8<------ So i activated rawlog as after-login executeable.

Authenticate Postfix through Dovecot with slightly different LDAP settings
by Jakob Lenfers 15 Nov '17

15 Nov '17

Hi, I'm setting up a server with Dovecot (2.2.2) and Postfix (3.1.0). Dovecot authenticates against LDAP and Postfix uses Dovecots SASL. That already works fine. But I would like to have slightly different LDAP settings for Dovecot and Postfix. Current setup: passdb { driver = ldap args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext } userdb { driver = ldap args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext } Excerpt from dovecot-ldap.conf.ext: user_filter = (& \ (objectClass=gosaMailAccount) \ (allowedServices=*I*) \ (uid=%u) \ ) I wanted to have sparate LDAP filters (allowedServices=*I* for Dovecot and allowedServices=*S* for Postfix), to be able to disable SMTP and IMAP independently. Does anybody know a way to separate those settings? Thanks in advance, Jakob

Is it for performance considerations ? Stéphane

Doubt about replacing alt storage disks
by Amol Kulkarni 14 Nov '17

14 Nov '17

Hello, I have a working setup of dovecot 2.2.19 on centos 6. The mailbox format is mdbox. I've configured primary and alt storage. Now I want to replace the disk of the alt storage only. Broadly my plan to change it is as follows : 1. Mount the new disk on a temporary server. 2. Rsync data only from alt storage to the new disk - while the original server is live. This may take a few days. In between altmove will happen on the live disk. 3. Once the basic rsync is complete, stop all services on the live server 4. Mount the new disk on live server, in addition to live disk 5. Do final rsync - with the delete option 6. Unmount the live disk and mount new disk in its place 7. Start services I've 2 doubts abt this plan : 1. I've tried the first part until step 2. After the first rsync, I found unexpected differences between the m.* files on the live and new disk. The new disk has some additional files for some users, which are not present on the live disk. Since the rsync was run without delete option, these files were not deleted from the new disk. Does altmove delete some m.* files to reorganize mail ? Can end user mail deletion cause deletion of m.* files ? 2. I'm worried about commonly occuring problems with such movement : duplicate mail download in pop / resync in imap / index corruption. Is there any way to check integrity of data before switching to the new disk ? Thanks in advance, Amol.

Even by your account, this won't get them anywhere, unless it's so fast and heavy, it's DoS'ing your system. Other than that, they're just bloating your logs, nothing more. If you want to pre-empt this via firewall, you'll need to get extremely lucky to characterise these IPs (a sample of 2 is not enough) in such a way as to able to formulate a firewall rule. Mostly likely, this is a rented botnet. If you somehow figure out an oracular rule to discern bot from some user road-warrior *before* they connect, give me a call.
