Automatically subscribe to the INBOX folder
by glts 26 May '19

26 May '19

Hello, I am using the ‘auto = subscribe’ feature in the mailbox configuration section in the usual fashion (as shown in conf.d/15-mailboxes.conf): namespace inbox { inbox = yes mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts auto = subscribe } ... } When I connect to an account with the Thunderbird mail client, those mailboxes/folders get autocreated and autosubscribed. Good! INBOX, however, does not get subscribed to automatically. When I look at the account’s subscriptions in Thunderbird, all folders are subscribed, except INBOX. How can I enable autosubscribe for the INBOX folder (like the other folders)? Is there an option for this? This is in Dovecot 2.2.22. Cheers, David

[Dovecot] Dovecot LDA/LMTP vs postfix virtual delivery agent and the x-original-to header

Does anyone know if the use of LMTP (or even the dovecot LDA) still loses the x-original-to header that the postfix vda adds and that I rely heavily on (since I use a lot of aliases), and if it does, is there any solution to get the original recipient added back in before final delivery? Everything I'm reading says that LMTP is better, but I really do need this header (or one like it) to be there so I know who the original recipient was (for filtering and other purposes). Thanks, -- Best regards, Charles

SELinux policy to allow Dovecot to connect to Mysql
by Robert Moskowitz 05 Feb '19

05 Feb '19

As I have noted in previous messages, I been getting the following on my new mailserver: Apr 7 10:17:27 z9m9z dovecot: dict: Error: mysql(localhost): Connect failed to database (postfix): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (13) - waiting for 25 seconds before retry They go away when I setenforce 0. It is not a timing issue as I earlier thought. So I googled dovecot mysql selinux and the only worthwhile hit was: http://zszsit.blogspot.com/2012/12/dovecot-mysql-selinux-issue-on-centos6.h… that provides a /etc/selinux/dovecot2mysql.te and other selinux stuff. Is there a simpler way like a setsbool option? With all the howtos on dovecot with mysql, it is interesting that none of them seem to have this problem. Maybe because they connect to mysql through TCP port 3306 which has ITS set of problems (like MariaDB defaults to not listening on TCP). thanks!

Nightly builds of Debian packages
by Christoph Pleger 24 Sep '18

24 Sep '18

Hello, how is the future of the automatically built nightly debian packages of dovecot? Has that project been ceased? The current auto-built version is still 2.2.28 from April 28, though 2.2.29 (with a security patch) of dovecot is out now for a while. Regards Christoph

Status of SMTPUTF8?
by Noah Tilton 14 Sep '18

14 Sep '18

I was wondering whether there is a roadmap for adding SMTPUTF8 support to Dovecot? My delivery pattern is Postfix -> Dovecot LMTP and it is choking on utf8 messages. I might be able to volunteer some of my time as a developer. Another thread about this seemed to go unanswered: http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2016-September/105474.html http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/320091/configure-postfix-and-doveco… -Noah

Since http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot-cvs/2014-November/025241.html Dovecot's LMTP does support ORCPT. Is it possible to set X-Original-To-Header based on that ORCPT?

[Dovecot] quota-status not working in distributed environment
by Benoit Panizzon 30 Jul '18

30 Jul '18

Hello List Quick overview of our set-up: Postfix / Dovecot (2.2.2.1) / MySQL Cluster on (at the moment) three Servers to create a HA environment where you could easily add additional servers as the demand or load grows. Circular dovecot replication is used so each server uses another one as replication partner and allowing one server to fail. Dovecot Proxy Feature being used, so we can use round-robin DNS and each server can forward the connecting user to the correct 'master' for his mailbox. So far, everything works as expected. Now we want to reject emails to 'full' mailboxes during SMTP to prevent backscatter and use the quota-status policy service from within postfix. That works fine, if the mailbox or it's replica is present on the machine where quota-status is called, but it fails if it's run on a machine where neither the mailbox or the replica is present. In our case, we get a correct SMTP 550 'Mailbox Full' Reject in two cases and a LMTP generated bounce in the later case. Also `doveadm quota get -u user(a)example.com` return the correct quota if run on the two machines which have the mailbox and it's copy locale, but return 0% used if run on the other machine. Is there a way to get quota-status to also use the proxy feature to request the quota information from the correct machine? Or is the postfix policy daemon call to the quota-status socket documented somewhere (it must be, but where?) so we could implement it from within the Milter? (we use the sendmail Milter API from postfix to filter spam and viruses, do sender/recipient rewriting, forward bounce matching, rate limmiting, login/IP statistics to block botnets abusing phished addresses and legal intercept stuff anyway) Kind regards Benoit Panizzon -- I m p r o W a r e A G - ______________________________________________________ Zurlindenstrasse 29 Tel +41 61 826 93 07 CH-4133 Pratteln Fax +41 61 826 93 02 Schweiz Web http://www.imp.ch ______________________________________________________

SIS: dovecot creates duplicated attachments (sometimes)
by Alexander Moisseev 20 Jul '18

20 Jul '18

SIS deduplication was broken in 2.2.16 and has been fixed with https://github.com/dovecot/core/commit/3b39022ea0513363241cf852b7d454c84158… but still sometimes (just several times in a month or so) dovecot creates duplicated attachments. As you can see in directory listings below all attachments was created at (about) the same time, but one of them has different inode number. It easy to discover using https://github.com/moisseev/doveadm-tools/blob/master/bin/dsisck # dsisck -n mail_uid=vmail mail_attachment_dir=/vmail/attachments ==> Checking SIS... # ln -f ./30/b3/30b367c584a123eee59478adf3e4f4c9e1226545-c56eae04a67c3157287f01003d96bafd ./30/b3/30b367c584a123eee59478adf3e4f4c9e1226545-7ad0a411d17c31572b7a01003d96bafd #
