lda: Warning: Failed to parse return-path header: Invalid character in localpart
by Christian Authmann 01 Feb '18

01 Feb '18

Hello, Sometimes, when delivering mails, this warning appears in my syslog: > lda(...): Warning: Failed to parse return-path header: Invalid character in localpart dovecot-lda still exits with 0 and the mail is inserted into my inbox. Looking at the mails in question, I determined that the error is caused by a multiline Return-Path header. Here's a testcase: --- snip --- Return-Path: <nowhere(a)example.com> From: "Nowhere" <nowhere(a)example.com> To: redacted(a)example.com Subject: Testcase for lda warnings Date: Wed, 31 Jan 2018 12:00:00 +0000 This is a message body. --- snap --- Copy into a file, with \r\n line endings, then run something like this: > cat testcase.txt | /usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda -e -d '<username>' with a username recognized by your running dovecot installation. The header is 'Return-Path:', \r\n, two spaces, '<...>', \r\n According to rfc2822 folding rules, that should be valid - the Return-Path header allows CFWS at that location. The error message originates in lib-lda/mail-deliver.c in mail_deliver_get_return_address(), while the invalid character message seems to originate from one of several places in lib-lda/mail-deliver.c Ciao, Christian Authmann

Error in virtual mailbox dovecot 2.3-devel maybe in mailcount
by Jakobus Schürz 01 Feb '18

Hi there! I splitted my Mailarchiv to an extra namespace. Because i have some Problems with the Archiv. I can open all Folders from Mailarchiv with dovecot. But i want to have a "all archives" Mailbox to search in all messages in only one virtual mailbox. Trying to open this virtual folder from thunderbird, I get in a big archiv this error in logs from dovecot: Jän 12 10:54:41 aldebaran dovecot[839]: imap(jakob)<11302><9ILYQJFipPlcPAkS>: Error: virtual index /var/mail/virtual/ARCHIV: Broken mailbox_count header Jän 12 10:54:41 aldebaran dovecot[839]: imap(jakob)<11302><9ILYQJFipPlcPAkS>: Error: virtual index /var/mail/virtual/ARCHIV: Broken mailbox_count header Jän 12 10:54:41 aldebaran dovecot[839]: imap(jakob)<11302><9ILYQJFipPlcPAkS>: Panic: Leaked view for index /var/lib/dovecot/db/indexes/archiv/jakob/Archiv/2016/Mailinglisten/stvkr-a/dovecot.index: Opened in index-storage.c:336 Jän 12 10:54:41 aldebaran dovecot[839]: imap(jakob)<11302><9ILYQJFipPlcPAkS>: Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0xc6021) [0x7f391bf02021] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0xc60ed) [0x7f391bf020ed] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_fatal+0) [0x7f391be74481] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(+0xf3942) [0x7f391c2a1942] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(index_storage_mailbox_close+0x72) [0x7f391c278ec2] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mailbox_close+0x1a) [0x7f391c1f8c0a] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lib20_virtual_plugin.so(+0xa7e0) [0x7f39174637e0] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lib20_virtual_plugin.so(virtual_backend_box_open+0x2b) [0x7f391746397b] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lib20_virtual_plugin.so(virtual_storage_sync_init+0x1026) [0x7f3917466926] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mailbox_sync_init+0x4d) [0x7f391c1fb05d] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mailbox_sync+0x37) [0x7f391c1fb117] -> dovecot/imap [jakob 92.60.9.18 select](cmd_select_full+0x171) [0x55759e0911a1] -> dovecot/imap [jakob 92.60.9.18 select](command_exec+0x64) [0x55759e098ca4] -> dovecot/imap [jakob 92.60.9.18 select](+0x1b0b2) [0x55759e0970b2] -> dovecot/imap [jakob 92.60.9.18 select](+0x1b13c) [0x55759e09713c] -> dovecot/imap [jakob 92.60.9.18 select](client_handle_input+0x1a5) [0x55759e097565] -> dovecot/imap [jakob 92.60.9.18 select](client_input+0x82) [0x55759e097be2] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_call_io+0x69) [0x7f391bf19c09] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run_internal+0x109) [0x7f391bf1b4a9] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0x52) [0x7f391bf19d12] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x38) [0x7f391bf19f28] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(master_service_run+0x13) [0x7f391be971e3] -> dovecot/imap [jakob 92.60.9.18 select](main+0x328) [0x55759e089768] -> /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf1) [0x7f391babd2b1] -> dovecot/imap [jakob 92.60.9.18 select](_start+0x2a) [0x55759e08994a] Jän 12 10:54:41 aldebaran dovecot[839]: imap(jakob)<11302><9ILYQJFipPlcPAkS>: Fatal: master: service(imap): child 11302 killed with signal 6 (core not dumped) and if i search the virtual mailbox with doveadm i get almost the same error.

send specific NDR message for users in certain OU
by lists 30 Jan '18

30 Jan '18

Hi, The question can perhaps be made more generic like this: Can dovecot generate a *specific* NDR (or an autoreply) for accounts that meet a specific criterium, such as: - user account was found under OU=to-delete,CN=company... contrary to the regular location CN=Users,CN=company... We would like to move to-be-deleted users to this container, before actually deleting them. That gives us an easy way to revert, if the deletion turns out to be erroneous. We could do that with via a sieve config for those accounts, but if dovecot could send a "delivery failure"-type specific for those accounts (with instructions who to contact to revert the situation) it would be very easy: only move the user to the specific OU, and have the system do the rest. Can this be done? (dovecot 2.1.17 on wheezy, yes we know we should upgrade, and we also will, but it runs rock solid...) MJ

2 panics, 1 segmentation fault in dovecot 2.3.0 (fts)
by Infoomatic 30 Jan '18

30 Jan '18

Hi, While testing our migration to dovecot 2.3.0, we encountered 2 panics, 1 segmentation fault while we wanted to rebuild the solr indizes. Problem [1] was encountered while rebuilding the indizes, and now I don't know how many mails/documents are indexed or where it got stuck. [2] and [3] encountered while just playing around, since I did not know of "tokenize" and did not find a lot of information about it. This is a ubuntu 16.04 machine, dovecot 2.3.0 compiled from source ( + the patch for the recent zlib problem). "doveadm index" runs on a ~ 4GB mdbox-zipped-mailbox for about 3-4 minutes before aborting with the message above, beforehand I did a "/opt/dovecot/bin/doveadm fts rescan -A". When I repeat "doveadm index" it aborts after about 4 seconds, after a "/opt/dovecot/bin/doveadm fts rescan -A" it runs again for 3-4 minutes. Apache tika logs, but those are probably not related to the problem, however, the devs might want investigate the last line: WARN Parse exception Expected ';', got "," determining content disposition javax.mail.internet.ParseException: Expected ';', got "," and org.apache.tika.exception.ZeroByteFileException: InputStream must have > 0 bytes I would be happy if you could have a look at this, please, and of course just tell me what further information you need.

problem with lda
by Infoomatic 27 Jan '18

27 Jan '18

Hello, I am currently testing the upgrade from our dovecot v2.2.23 to 2.3.0. I have a strange problem with lda. We use bounce mails for internal users if they try to send virus/spammails. The exact same config works with 2.2.23, but not with 2.3.0. The relevant postfix/master.cf part: dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/opt/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d ${recipient} -f ${sender} On the same machine, with 2.2.23 I get a bounce mail when trying to send a virus, with the subject "VIRUS in message apparently from you (Eicar-Test-Signature)", to both the users inbox as well as to the mailbox of virusalert(a)ourdomain.internal With 2.3.0, in the logs I get an error: relay=dovecot, delay=0.01, delays=0/0/0/0, dsn=5.3.0, status=bounced (command line usage error. Command output: lda: Fatal: Invalid -f parameter: Missing domain and the alert message is only sent to virusalert(a)ourdomain.internal, but not to the user who tried to send the mail. The relevant part of our dovecot.conf: protocol lda { mail_plugins = " quota zlib sieve acl mail_log notify" postmaster_address = postmaster(a)ourdomain.internal } Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Or is there a workaround via postfix/amavis/spamassassin? Any hints are highly appreciated, thanks! Regards, infoomatic
