Same emails appearing multiple time after upgrade to version 2.33
by Thomas Durand 22 Nov '18

22 Nov '18

Hi, I have update today dovecot and dovecot pigeonhole to the latest version available on my centos 7. It’s a small email servers with postfix/amavisd/clamav/spamasssin. I had dovecot for IMAP/POP3 with spam plugins to store spam message automatically into the spam folder. After the upgrade, I was noticed by some of my users that they have in their message the same message appearing 2,3 even 10 times. I had the same behavior when using roundecube I was able to stop this after removing pigeonhole rpm (removing/disabling the config was not enough). Would appreciate your help to understand what is wrong with my config.

Multi-server but small scale
by Daniel Miller 21 Nov '18

21 Nov '18

I have a small but critical server that supports our group. As a single server - it's obviously a single-point-of-failure for lots of things. As I just experienced...again. It was a lot more fun building systems from components when I was younger... Previously 3rd-party hosted solutions didn't look attractive for several reasons...but I'm seeing prices now for cloud virtual machines that are stupid cheap. Even if they wind up being limited speed & availability - it would seem they'd be a lot better than nothing! So I'm considering having at least one backup server for various services - obviously that includes mail. So now I have to wonder about the backend. And while I think I'm reasonably current with networked file systems (not distributed or cluster) I haven't played with replication for a quite a while. For this particular usage (I'm envisioning two servers total) - is there a need/reason to use any form of networked/distributed/cluster file storage? Or would this be accomplished via "pure" Dovecot - dsync replication would keep things updated between the servers and director would handle the connections? So with identically configured SMTP servers, passing to the local LMTP agents, the file system would be "purely local" with no NFS or other interconnection? -- Daniel

analysing of dmarc report
by Poliman - Serwis 21 Nov '18

21 Nov '18

I have a problem with understanding dmarc reports and some features. I attach two reports. First one come from google.com, second one from tumieszkamy.pl. On my server is dns zone of domain kamir-transport.pl but whole mail service is deployed on Google - in dns zone MX points to Google and there are all mailboxes, aliases etc. Last time I have configured dkim and dmarc policies and I got two reports. Honestly I don't know why two, from two different providers - google.com and tumieszkamy.pl. Moreover in report originating from google I see IP of my server [which fails spf and dkim policies] and I don't understand why this IP is evaluated? Second thing which I don't understand is second report which I got from tumieszkamy.pl. SPF record in dns zone of domain kamir-transport.pl was looking like below (now I changed it to slightly different): *v=spf1 mx include:_spf.google.com <http://spf.google.com> -all* Does anybody could help uderstand these things? -- *Pozdrawiam / Best Regards* *Piotr Bracha*

Quota in MySql Dict not recalculate automatic
by SUnsin＠gv-bayern.de 20 Nov '18

20 Nov '18

Hi, I have a working Installation with: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Dovecot 2.2.22 MySql 5.7.24 Postfixadmin 3.2 Apache 2.4.18 Rainloop 1.12.1 I manage the E-Mail Accounts with postfixadmin in a MySql-DB. Also I use quotas with Quota Backend postfixadmin-DB (dict). Everything works fine. Now I installed a new Server with the following Versions and migrate the Configs to the new System. Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Doveot 2.2.33 MySQL 5.7.24 Postfixadmin 3.2 Apache 2.4.18 Rainloop 1.12.1 The Problem is now: When I receive a E-Mail, the quota will not Update (recalculate) automatical in the MySql-DB from Dovecot. In the old System there execute the SQL Statement after receiving a E-Mail, for example: UPDATE quota2 SET bytes=bytes+3076,messages=messages+1 WHERE username = <E-Mail Address> On the new System with the newer Dovecot Version, the Statement never comes after receive an E-Mail. With Dovecot Version 2.3 on the old System with Ubuntu 16.04, everything works fine with the same config. Is a BUG in the Dovecot Version 2.2.33 possible? Can everbody help me?

Update virtual folders via doveadm?
by Daniel Miller 20 Nov '18

20 Nov '18

I'm trying to have my server maintain it's FTS indexes reasonably current at all times. From prior threads, and based on my namespace configuration, I have the following hourly cronjob: doveadm index -A -q '*' doveadm index -A -q 'shared/*' doveadm index -A -q 'virtual/*' This seems to work just fine to maintain the FTS (Solr). However - as I understand it Dovecot's virtual folders are not updated with new mails until they are accessed by a client. Therefore the above command sequence would work fine for my default namespace and the shared - but the virtual namespace won't actually be current. So... Would a command such as: doveadm mailbox status -A messages virtual/* Be appropriate to run prior to the virtual/* FTS indexing? -- Daniel

IMAP Limitations with Outlook 2013?
by Robert Adkins 19 Nov '18

19 Nov '18

Good Day! I have a fairly new user on my network that has, over about 10 months, created in root inbox and nested sub-folders totaling over 900 individual folders. In the past few weeks, newly created folders will be visible in Outlook 2013, but when an email is moved into that folder, it is no longer visible. I can ssh into the server, drill down to that sub-folder and see the email in the folder AND it is also available to be seen without issue in Thunderbird. I know this is a longshot, but if there is some feature that I haven't found in Dovecot to force Outlook to synchronize with all the folders/sub-folders, please let me know. Beyond that. With this particular users habits, over the next 5 years, there could be nearly 10,000 folders/sub-folders. Does anyone know if this will create any problems with Dovecot or is this JUST a Microsoft software problem? -- Best Regards, Robert Adkins IT Manager/Tool Designer Impel Industries, Inc. 586-254-5800
