Is it possible to use sieve when delivering via pipe to the dovecot deliver command ?
by Thomas Carrié 21 Mar '17

21 Mar '17

Hello, I am using Exim with this delivery configuration: virtual_delivery: driver = pipe command = /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -d $local_part@$domain -f ... I have enabled manage-sieve and uploaded a simple sieve script that I can see on the server. man page of /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver says it supports sieve. Mail debug is enabled: $ dovecot -n | grep debug mail_debug = yes Delivering a mail shows only this line in dovecot log: Jan 21 17:38:51 myserver dovecot: lda(joe(a)something.com): msgid=<20170121183537.7313f219@homenetwork>: saved mail to INBOX According to page http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Pigeonhole/Sieve/Troubleshooting#Sieve_Scripts_are… I should have a log saying that the sieve plugin is loaded Here is the sieve relevant parts of dovecot -n: # 2.2.13: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf ... plugin { sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve } ... protocols = " imap sieve pop3 sieve" ... protocol lda { mail_plugins = " sieve" } Is there a requirement to use delivery via service (unix socket) so that sieve is enabled? Or is there a configuration thing I forgot ? Thank you for your help Thomas

doveadm-sync stateful
by Cédric ML 21 Mar '17

21 Mar '17

Hello, I'm trying to migrate mail accounts from an old server to a new one. As I need to migrate dozens of accounts which take about 1G each, I need to do stateful sync to make my migration in two times : 1 - I run a : doveadm -D -o mail_fsync=never -o imapc_user=user1(a)olddomain.fr sync -s "" -R -1 -u user1(a)newdomain.fr imapc: > /tmp/firstsync.log 2>&1 my accounts are synced, and I get a "state" string (AQAAAHm4+Jk=) as the output of doveadm sync command. 2 - Changes are made on the old server, and I expect next dsync will sync only the changes / new mails. So I run a : doveadm -D -o mail_fsync=never -o imapc_user=user1(a)olddomain.fr sync -s "AQAAAHm4+Jk=" -R -1 -u user1(a)newdomain.fr imapc: > /tmp/secondsync.log 2>&1 My problem is that state of messages are not synchronized (mails marked as read on old server are still unread on new server, mails moved on a folder on the old server are still in the INBOX of new server). The full debug of ran commands is available here : http://fpaste.scsys.co.uk/557551 The result of "doveconf -n" is available here : http://fpaste.scsys.co.uk/557552 I'm using version 2.2.27 Can anyone tell me if I'm doing something wrong ? How can I debug more ? Regards, Cédric

I'm getting close - I believe I have one-way replication processing now. It's amazing watching the mails magically appear in the new server! I'll tender some updates to the wiki in the hopes it will help others. At this time, I have two errors I haven't been able to eliminate with config changes: dovecot: doveadm: Error: dsync-remote(user(a)mydomain.com): Warning: Transaction log file /var/mail/mydomain.com/user/sdbox/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index.log was locked for 109 seconds (rotating while syncing) Mar 20 23:22:04 bubba dovecot: dsync-local(user(a)mydomain.com): Error: Remote command returned error 75: ssh -lvmail 192.168.0.4 doveadm dsync-server -uuser(a)mydomain.com I don't know if the transaction lock issue will fix itself via repeated replication runs. But I have no idea what the "error 75" is. Daniel On 3/20/2017 10:05 PM, Daniel Miller wrote: > I have an existing server using mdbox & sis.

Corruption & migration
by Daniel Miller 21 Mar '17

21 Mar '17

I have an existing server using mdbox & sis. There is a quantity of corruption - I have no idea where it came in. I'd had a previous rebuild some years ago and I thought I had a clean datastore. By "corruption" I mean missing attachments and either missing or mixed-up emails. I've setup a new server on a virtual machine. Instead of copying the old configs I hand-adjusted individual settings using the current distribution example. The new server is running...but empty. So now my intent is to migrate the mail to the new machine. A few items to note: 1. The existing mail server is the virtual host. The mails are stored locally, in mdbox format, with sis enabled. And possibly zlib. 2. The new server, via VirtualBox, is presently configured for Maildir. I may change to sdbox - I'm now a little reserved about mdbox. 3. Instead of storing the mails within the virtual machine, I'm using the host's drive. This is via an exported NFS4 folder from the host, mounted on the guest, using the options: "auto,noatime,hard,intr,async,nordirplus". 4. My intent is to have the new virtual server become the primary mail server. The mail store will continue to be accessed by NFS4. No other servers or processes (besides backup) should access the mail store. So...my question is what is the best method for the migration? Reading the docs on Dovecot replication I'm still very unsure of how to implement it - particularly the "master-master" or "master-client" relationships. The docs are not 100% clear on which server gets which options. I can guess...which I'd really rather not do. But it seems to me getting one-way replication working would be the most "elegant" solution here. Manual dsync is also an option - but again I'm not on which machine I should execute which options. Imapsync is a possibility and the syntax is clear - but very slow in execution for 100k mails. Any suggestions or pointers would be welcome. -- Daniel

Re: Dovecot 2.2.27 proxy - enforcing per client IP connection limits

Understood -- that's the current situation I'm in now. Our iOS users would launch a search resulting in a connection burst, hit the connection cap, log out all IMAP sessions out, then start the cycle again. This sometimes lasts for 10's of minutes. I'm not sure what the users sees. Sample logs entries: Mar 19 01:21:30 server dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<user> ... [... 14 similar logins removed ...] Mar 19 01:21:41 server dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<user> ... Mar 19 01:21:42 server dovecot: imap-login: Maximum number of connections from user+IP exceeded (mail_max_userip_connections=16) : user=<user> ... Mar 19 01:21:42 server dovecot: imap(user): Logged out in=425 out=1107 [... 14 similar logouts removed ...] Mar 19 01:21:42 server dovecot: imap(user): Logged out in=382 out=1107 Mar 19 01:21:42 server dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<user> ... Mar 19 01:21:42 server dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<user> ... Mar 19 01:21:43 server dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<user> ... Mar 19 01:21:44 server dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<user> ... Mar 19 01:21:44 server dovecot: imap(user): Logged out in=442 out=1173 Mar 19 01:21:44 server dovecot: imap(user): Logged out in=442 out=1155 Mar 19 01:21:44 server dovecot: imap(user): Logged out in=442 out=1166 Mar 19 01:21:44 server dovecot: imap(user): Logged out in=442 out=1174 Mar 19 01:21:44 server dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<user> ... Mar 19 01:21:47 server dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<user> ... Mar 19 01:21:47 server dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<user> ... Mar 19 01:21:48 server dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<user> ... Mar 19 01:21:48 server dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<user> ... Mar 19 01:21:49 server dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<user> ... { ... and on and on for the next 10 minutes ... } However, there is a pause between each login that might be long enough to squeeze the search results in if given quickly enough. From the I/O stats, most of these searches have empty results. It probably won't prevent the connection cap problem, but it might minimize the length and severity of these connection storms. Of course, the real fix is for iOS mail-app developers to stop assuming the IMAP server is owned exclusively by the user by configuring some reasonable connection throttles.

Dovecot can't connect to openldap over starttls
by info＠gwarband.de 20 Mar '17

20 Mar '17

Hello guys, actually I'm trying to configure dovecot to access openldap for passwordcheck. My openldap is only allow access over "secure ldap". The dovecot can communicate with the openldap server but there is maybe a failure in the sslhandshake. Additional information you can find in the logs or in the dump below. Also I have my ldap config from dovecot in the links below. I have already created an bug reporting in the system of openldap but the answer was to get support from her. All datalinks: https://gwarband.de/openldap/dovecot.log https://gwarband.de/openldap/dovecot-ldap.conf https://gwarband.de/openldap/openldap.log https://gwarband.de/openldap/trace.dump The bugreportinglink from openldap: http://www.openldap.org/its/index.cgi/Incoming?id=8615 I hope you can help me. Regards. Tobias Warband
