Occasional crash in db-auth.c (Valgrind: Invalid read of size 4 et al.), Dovecot 2.2.27+
by Jonas Wielicki 14 Sep '18

14 Sep '18

Dear list, We are encountering troubles with dovecot using LDAP userdbs on Debian stretch (but if I’m reading valgrind correctly, we can reproduce this with vanilla dovecot master). Minimal reproducer below. While testing an upgrade to Debian stretch (dovecot-core=1:2.2.27-3+deb9u1), auth-worker has stopped working. We are using two LDAP user databases; one which is iterable, and one which is not (for reasons; I think this is not relevant; if it is, we’re happy to elaborate). The issue seems to be present in any LDAP userdb iteration handling, but it only seems to cause a crash in certain conditions which seem to be reproducibly caused by our setup for some reason. We’re seeing one of two errors. Variant A: Jan 27 13:40:05 up2 dovecot: auth-worker: Error: *** Error in `dovecot/auth': free(): corrupted unsorted chunks: 0x000056553f0fcfa0 *** Jan 27 13:40:05 up2 dovecot: auth-worker: Error: ======= Backtrace: ========= Jan 27 13:40:05 up2 dovecot: auth-worker: Error: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ libc.so.6(+0x70bcb)[0x7f78426adbcb] Jan 27 13:40:05 up2 dovecot: auth-worker: Error: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ libc.so.6(+0x76f96)[0x7f78426b3f96] Jan 27 13:40:05 up2 dovecot: auth-worker: Error: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ libc.so.6(+0x777de)[0x7f78426b47de] Jan 27 13:40:05 up2 dovecot: auth-worker: Error: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/ auth/libauthdb_ldap.so(+0x5bde)[0x7f7842008bde] Jan 27 13:40:05 up2 dovecot: auth-worker: Error: /usr/lib/dovecot/ libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_call_io+0x52)[0x7f78430cfdd2] Jan 27 13:40:05 up2 dovecot: auth-worker: Error: /usr/lib/dovecot/ libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run_internal+0x109)[0x7f78430d1409] Jan 27 13:40:05 up2 dovecot: auth-worker: Error: /usr/lib/dovecot/ libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0x3c)[0x7f78430cfe6c] Jan 27 13:40:05 up2 dovecot: auth-worker: Error: /usr/lib/dovecot/ libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x38)[0x7f78430d0018] Jan 27 13:40:05 up2 dovecot: auth-worker: Error: /usr/lib/dovecot/ libdovecot.so.0(master_service_run+0x13)[0x7f7843057e93] Jan 27 13:40:05 up2 dovecot: auth-worker: Error: dovecot/auth(main+0x398) [0x56553da45f98] Jan 27 13:40:05 up2 dovecot: auth-worker: Error: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf1)[0x7f784265d2b1] Jan 27 13:40:05 up2 dovecot: auth-worker: Error: dovecot/auth(_start+0x2a) [0x56553da461aa] Variant B: Jan 27 13:06:56 up2 dovecot: auth-worker(27495): Panic: file db-ldap.c: line 840 (db_ldap_result_unref): assertion failed: (res->refcount > 0) Jan 27 13:06:56 up2 dovecot: auth-worker(27495): Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/ lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x95272) [0x7f027a4fc272] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/ libdovecot.so.0(+0x9536d) [0x7f027a4fc36d] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so. 0(i_fatal+0) [0x7f027a492951] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/auth/ libauthdb_ldap.so(+0x3868) [0x7f0279447868] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/auth/ libauthdb_ldap.so(+0x5d7c) [0x7f0279449d7c] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so. 0(io_loop_call_io+0x52) [0x7f027a510dd2] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so. 0(io_loop_handler_run_internal+0x109) [0x7f027a512409] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/ libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0x3c) [0x7f027a510e6c] -> /usr/lib/ dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x38) [0x7f027a511018] -> /usr/lib/ dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(master_service_run+0x13) [0x7f027a498e93] -> dovecot/ auth(main+0x398) [0x55b981cd2f98] -> /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so. 6(__libc_start_main+0xf1) [0x7f0279a9e2b1] -> dovecot/auth(_start+0x2a) [0x55b981cd31aa] When running auth-worker within valgrind, we get more information (valgrind extract from mail.log attached for two versions of dovecot). We have attached mail.log contents for the respective valgrind runs. This seems to affect at least 2.2.27 onwards. We can reproduce the crash with our production data 100% of the time. The valgrind error is present even with very minimal setups (see below). Unfortunately, I haven’t been able so far to create an LDAP database which produces the crash as reliable as our production database does (which we cannot share for obvious reasons). Minimal Reproducer of Valgrind error: - Install dovecot 2.2.27 from debian stretch, or compile from master. - Install valgrind - In conf.d/10-auth.conf, disable auth-system.conf.ext - In conf.d/10-auth.conf, enable auth-ldap.conf.ext - Set contents of dovecot-ldap.conf.ext to: hosts = localhost base = dc=nodomain - In conf.d/10-master.conf, in section "service auth-worker", set executable = /usr/bin/valgrind /usr/lib/dovecot/auth -w (path may differ on your system) - Install an LDAP server with a database for dc=nodomain; this is trivial to do with debian: Simply install slapd and systemctl start slapd. - Start dovecot - Run doveadm user '*' - You should find the error in the mail.log. I hope this is somehow useful to fix our crash issue. We’ll be happy to provide more information as needed. kind regards, Jonas

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 #

offtopic: Solr compatible IMAP client
by Andy Smith 04 Jun '18

04 Jun '18

Hi, not sure if I'm allowed to go this off topic on here, sorry if not! I've just installed Solr FTS for Dovecot and its great, as is Dovecot! ;) It works perfectly for fast searches using Roundcube, but can anyone suggest any Windows and/or Linux mail clients that work well with IMAP searches rather than doing their own searches on local copies of mails? I've had a look at Thunderbird and you can use IMAP search, buy you have to manually select it from an advanced search dialogue and it seems you cannot make this the default behaviour. I also tried OperaMail but it doesn't appear to work at all (only header is searchable without downloading local copies). I'm pretty sure Outlook will only use its own search engine on its local copy of data. thanks a lot, Andy. PS this guide was really helpful for setting up Solr FTS with a recent release of Solr (I'm using 6.5), might be worth including a link somewhere on the Dovecot wiki?: http://mor-pah.net/2016/08/15/dovecot-2-2-with-solr-6-or-5

replication and .dovecot.lda-dupes
by Patrick Cernko 25 Apr '18

25 Apr '18

Hi list, this question was already posted a few years ago (https://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2014-November/098585.html) I already asked the original queriest and he told me, that he never got an solution or workaround but it was not important enough for him. When using replication in conjunction with sieve vacations, the .dovecot.lda-dupes file is not synced with the other server. So when delivering to both servers (round-robin or randomized), senders might get more vacation mails than configured as the other server does not know, that the first one already sent a vacation message. Is this a bug or intentional? If it is a bug, I hereby ask for a fix, please. We are using Dovecot version 2.2.27 on Debian/stretch. This is dovecot -n (hostnames anonymized): # 2.2.27 (c0f36b0): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.4.16 (fed8554) # OS: Linux 4.9.76.1.amd64-smp x86_64 Debian 9.3 auth_verbose = yes default_vsz_limit = 2 G doveadm_password = # hidden, use -P to show it doveadm_port = 12345 listen = * login_log_format_elements = pid=%p user=<%u> method=%m rip=%r lip=%l mpid=%e %c mail_attachment_dir = /IMAP/mail/attachments mail_attachment_fs = sis-queue /IMAP/mail/attachments/queue:posix mail_home = /IMAP/mail/mailboxes/%u mail_location = mdbox:~/mdbox mail_log_prefix = "%s(%u[%p]): " mail_max_userip_connections = 0 mail_plugins = " notify replication zlib fts fts_squat" maildir_stat_dirs = yes managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date index ihave duplicate mime foreverypart extracttext namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/ldap.conf driver = ldap } plugin { fts = squat fts_autoindex = yes fts_squat = partial=4 full=10 mail_replica = tcp:other-server sieve = file:~/sieve;active=~/.dovecot.sieve zlib_save = gz zlib_save_level = 3 } postmaster_address = <> protocols = " imap lmtp sieve" service aggregator { fifo_listener replication-notify-fifo { mode = 0666 } unix_listener replication-notify { mode = 0666 } } service anvil { client_limit = 2250 } service auth { client_limit = 2447 } service doveadm { inet_listener doveadm-server { port = 12345 } } service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 0 } process_limit = 2047 } service imap { process_limit = 2047 } service lmtp { inet_listener lmtp { port = 24 } } service pop3-login { inet_listener pop3 { port = 0 } inet_listener pop3s { port = 0 } } service replicator { process_min_avail = 1 unix_listener replicator-doveadm { mode = 0666 } } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certificate.pem ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/userdb.overrides driver = passwd-file } userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/ldap.conf driver = ldap } verbose_proctitle = yes protocol lmtp { auth_username_format = %n mail_plugins = " notify replication zlib fts fts_squat sieve" } protocol lda { mail_plugins = " notify replication zlib fts fts_squat sieve" } And this is /etc/dovecot/ldap.conf (hostnames anonymized): uris = ldaps://ldap1/ ldaps://ldap2/ base = dc=domain user_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%u)) user_attrs = \ =user=%{ldap:uid}, \ =uid=%{ldap:uidNumber}, \ =gid=%{ldap:gidNumber} pass_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%u)) iterate_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(istMailHomeServer=servername)) auth_bind = yes /etc/dovecot/userdb.override is currently an empty file.

Strange "IMAP connection broken (server response)" errors
by Jozsef Kadlecsik 20 Mar '18

20 Mar '18

Hello, We upgraded one of our dovecot servers to debian stretch with dovecot 2.2.27 and since then one of our users has been experiencing random IMAP failures. We enabled raw logging at the server side and it shows normal IMAP commands/responses: 1507292522.222427 * 6 FETCH (FLAGS () BODYSTRUCTURE ("text" "plain" ("charset" "us-ascii") NIL NIL "7bit" 4645 112 NIL NIL NIL NIL)) 1507292522.222653 00000011 OK Fetch completed (0.006 + 0.000 secs). On the client side the user runs alpine and the corresponding debug lines: IMAP DEBUG 14:22:02.216167: 00000011 FETCH 6 (BODYSTRUCTURE FLAGS) 14:22:02.217396 IMAP 14:22:02 10/6 mm_notify bye: {[127.0.0.1]:1555/imap/user="ha4aa"}INBOX: [CLOSED] IMAP connection broken (server response) 14:22:02.217471 IMAP 14:22:02 10/6 mm_log error: [CLOSED] IMAP connection broken (server response) The "[127.0.0.1]:1555/imap/user="ha4aa" part in the log comes from an socat inserted between the client and the server to check independetly the imap session. According to socat, the server response didn't reach the client!: 00000010 OK Fetch completed (0.005 + 0.000 secs).\r > 2017/10/06 14:22:02.216299 length=40 from=845 to=884 00000011 FETCH 6 (BODYSTRUCTURE FLAGS)\r and here ends the socat log, the server response didn't reach the client. The same alpine package is used against older dovecot servers from debian jessie and works flawlessly. The server and client are both KVM guests and there's no any content filtering software between them. There's no corresponding error in the dovecot log file and dovecot didn't regard the connection broken and detected client close: ...

Assertion during dsync receive
by Ian Bobbitt 13 Mar '18

13 Mar '18

Hi, I'm getting an assertion failed on the receiving side, causing syncs to fail for one user. The servers are setup so that only one is receiving any traffic other than replication at any time. The one that's only receiving replications is the one that's failing. I've tried deleting the user's home on the receiving server, but it still crashes during the sync. Oddly, the user's home is 7.4G on the sending server, but ends up at 42G on the receiving side, even after deleting and trying a fresh sync. The mailbox implicated in the backtrace ("Spam") does have a very large number of messages in it. On sender: Spam messages=1217764 recent=0 uidnext=1218103 uidvalidity=1379509105 unseen=16 highestmodseq=744588 vsize=34468460093 guid=090ed93a7a055559abf10200fdf6807a firstsaved=1498744186 On receiver: Spam messages=1217766 recent=352 uidnext=1218105 uidvalidity=1379509105 unseen=16 highestmodseq=744589 vsize=34468496809 guid=090ed93a7a055559abf10200fdf6807a firstsaved=1519396172 Feb 23 14:57:20 dovecot: dsync-local(bgeels): Warning: fscking index file /gnoc/mail/home/bgeels/mail/storage/dovecot.map.index Feb 23 14:57:20 dovecot: dsync-local(bgeels): Warning: mdbox /gnoc/mail/home/bgeels/mail/storage: rebuilding indexes Feb 23 14:57:33 dovecot: dsync-local(bgeels): Panic: file mail-index-util.c: line 10 (mail_index_uint32_to_offset): assertion failed: (offset < 0x40000000) Feb 23 14:57:33 dovecot: dsync-local(bgeels): Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x9f3de) [0x7feb584143de] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x9f4be) [0x7feb584144be] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_fatal+0) [0x7feb583a577c] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_index_uint32_to_offset+0xa0) [0x7feb587906d0] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_cache_compress+0x854) [0x7feb58774f34] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_index_sync_commit+0x25f) [0x7feb587884ff] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mdbox_storage_rebuild_in_context+0x10de) [0x7feb5870b3ae] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mdbox_sync_begin+0x858) [0x7feb5870ccd8] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mdbox_sync+0x4c) [0x7feb5870ce7c] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mdbox_storage_sync_init+0x4b) [0x7feb5870cf3b] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mailbox_sync_init+0x44) [0x7feb586f2834] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mailbox_sync+0x37) [0x7feb586f28d7] -> dovecot/doveadm-server(dsync_mailbox_import_deinit+0x475) [0x445495] -> dovecot/doveadm-server() [0x43edc0] -> dovecot/doveadm-server(dsync_brain_sync_mails+0x743) [0x43f653] -> dovecot/doveadm-server(dsync_brain_run+0x541) [0x43acf1] -> dovecot/doveadm-server() [0x43b070] -> dovecot/doveadm-server() [0x44fe5f] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_call_io+0x52) [0x7feb58429cd2] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run_internal+0x10f) [0x7feb5842b3bf] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0x3c) [0x7feb58429d6c] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x38) [0x7feb58429f28] -> dovecot/doveadm-server() [0x4209c5] -> dovecot/doveadm-server() [0x422df6] -> dovecot/doveadm-server() [0x4377f4] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_call_io+0x52) [0x7feb58429cd2] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run_internal+0x10f) [0x7feb5842b3bf] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0x3c) [0x7feb58429d6c] Feb 23 14:57:33 dsync-local(bgeels): Fatal: master: service(doveadm): child 82098 killed with signal 6 (core dumped) I've attached the output of `doveconf -n` and the full backtrace from a core dump.

Unexpected config results with local_name + multiple SSL certs
by David Favor 10 Mar '18

Working with SSL on fresh install of latest Ubuntu Artful + Dovecot seems broken somehow. Application is Dovecot listening for many SSL sites... Likely I've missed adding something simple to the config, related to local_name usage.
