Dbox and NVMe drives
by Andrew 02 Jan '18

02 Jan '18

Hi all, We're looking at replacing our existing NFS setup and using local storage on multiple nodes - using Director to send clients to the correct node. We have about 10,000 mailboxes using about 6TB at the moment, a mix of IMAP and POP, probably 65% IMAP. I'm thinking of moving from Maildir to Dbox; using 2TB NVMe drives in RAID1 as primary storage and 4x 6TB SATA disks in RAID10 for altstorage and probably smaller SATA SSDs in RAID1 for the indexes. I guess my question is, have other people had bad experiences with flash based storage on medium sized mail servers and does splitting the storage like these seem sensible for Dbox in terms of maximizing performance? Thanks! S.

Sieve can't move messages in a public namespace
by Paolo 02 Jan '18

02 Jan '18

Hello, my dovecot version is 2.1.17 I've configured some public namespaces (config attached). When a mail arrives at a certain mail address, that mail is handled by dovecot lmtp server and a sieve script is executed that shuold move the message in one of the namespaces. This is the script: require "fileinto"; if header :contains "From" "example(a)example.com" { fileinto :create "Cond-UFF_FORNITORI/CONTABILITA/Inviata"; } else { fileinto :create "Cond-UFF_FORNITORI/CONTABILITA/Ricevuta"; } The problem is that the sieve script fails with the error: sieve: info: started log at Jun 27 12:42:28. error: msgid=<c9154db4-ff68-52a3-2639-11f09f225f68(a)fcr.re.it>: failed to store into mailbox 'Cond-UFF_FORNITORI/CONTABILITA/Ricevuta': Mailbox doesn't exist: Cond-UFF_FORNITORI/CONTABILITA/Ricevuta. I double checked config, dovecot documentation, sieve documentation, ACL, filesystem paths, filesystem permissions, etc. etc. I'm pretty sure it's all right. So why isn't sieve working? Thanks if you bother to answer & Cheers Paolo

dovecot-submission SMTP send error with Thunderbird (BODY=8BITMIME)
by Reuben Farrelly 02 Jan '18

Hi, With latest 2.3 -git (and 2.3.0 release), I'm running into this error with Thunderbird: "An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: 5.5.4 Unsupported mail BODY type. Please verify that your email address is correct in your account settings and try again." This is fatal and means Thunderbird cannot use the submission service - fortunately I can revert back to a native Postfix service which works. Here's a tcpdump of the conversation: thunderstorm /etc/dovecot/conf.d # tcpdump -A port 587 dropped privs to tcpdump tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode listening on eth0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 262144 bytes 14:12:19.975982 IP6 2001:44b8:31d4:1311:45ec:e191:8093:3e9d.61175 > inside-mail.reub.net.submission: Flags [S], seq 572328223, win 64800, options [mss 1440,nop,wscale 8,nop,nop,sackOK], length 0 `._.. .? .D.1...E.....>. .D.1..........#...K". ........ .w.............. 14:12:19.976022 IP6 inside-mail.reub.net.submission > 2001:44b8:31d4:1311:45ec:e191:8093:3e9d.61175: Flags [S.], seq 3954361671, ack 572328224, win 28800, options [mss 1440,nop,nop,sackOK,nop,wscale 7], length 0 `.c|. .@ .D.1..........# .D.1...E.....>..K.....G". ..p.:4.............. 14:12:19.976158 IP6 2001:44b8:31d4:1311:45ec:e191:8093:3e9d.61175 > inside-mail.reub.net.submission: Flags [.], ack 1, win 8235, length 0 `._....? .D.1...E.....>. .D.1..........#...K". ...HP. +. .. 14:12:19.983409 IP6 inside-mail.reub.net.submission > 2001:44b8:31d4:1311:45ec:e191:8093:3e9d.61175: Flags [P.], seq 1:43, ack 1, win 225, length 42 `.c|.>.@ .D.1..........# .D.1...E.....>..K.....H".

Curiously enabling rawlog doesn't capture this error, which is why I used tcpdump above.

I would have expected it to capture the full conversation log including any protocol errors and failures like this. Reuben

Email1(a)domain.tlf > ? Email2(a)domain.tld > ? Email3(a)domain.tld Others have suggested a postfix method. You can also pipe it to a script that will select a destination to forward to alias "info(a)domain.tld" to "|/my/selector|script". This will work both in Postfix, sendmail, and probably most other MTAs. If you actually want randomization (rather than sequential round-robin), you can simplify because you won't need to record the last delivery. Use /dev/urandom or unix time() mod 3 to select forwarding address. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>
