by post＠volker-wysk.de 03 Mar '18

03 Mar '18

Hi I've upgraded dovecot from 2.2.22 to 2.3.0.1, and now I can't log in any longer. My mail client says that the user name and password are rejected by dovecot. I get this messsage in the system logs: % journalctl -u dovecot.service (...) Mär 03 01:39:23 desktop systemd[1]: Stopped Dovecot IMAP/POP3 email server. Mär 03 01:39:23 desktop systemd[1]: Started Dovecot IMAP/POP3 email server. Mär 03 01:39:39 desktop auth[5736]: PAM audit_log_acct_message() failed: Operation not permitted I've followed the instructions in https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Upgrading/2.3 and https://repo.dovecot.org/ (for Ubuntu Xenial). Any ideas..? Bye V.W.

Autoexpunge of lazy_expunge namespace
by Angel L. Mateo 02 Mar '18

02 Mar '18

Hi, I'm using autoexpunge to clean my users' Trash and Spam mailboxes. But I'm also using lazy_expunge to keep a copy of deleted messages. Is there any to configure lazy_expunge namespace to be autoexpunged too? My lazy_expunge configuration is the "1 Namespace" described at https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Lazyexpunge -- Angel L.

v2.2.34 released
by Timo Sirainen 01 Mar '18

01 Mar '18

https://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.34.tar.gz https://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.34.tar.gz.sig * CVE-2017-15130: TLS SNI config lookups may lead to excessive memory usage, causing imap-login/pop3-login VSZ limit to be reached and the process restarted. This happens only if Dovecot config has local_name { } or local { } configuration blocks and attacker uses randomly generated SNI servernames. * CVE-2017-14461: Parsing invalid email addresses may cause a crash or leak memory contents to attacker. For example, these memory contents might contain parts of an email from another user if the same imap process is reused for multiple users. First discovered by Aleksandar Nikolic of Cisco Talos. Independently also discovered by "flxflndy" via HackerOne. * CVE-2017-15132: Aborted SASL authentication leaks memory in login process. * Linux: Core dumping is no longer enabled by default via PR_SET_DUMPABLE, because this may allow attackers to bypass chroot/group restrictions. Found by cPanel Security Team. Nowadays core dumps can be safely enabled by using "sysctl -w fs.suid_dumpable=2". If the old behaviour is wanted, it can still be enabled by setting: import_environment=$import_environment PR_SET_DUMPABLE=1 * doveconf output now includes the hostname. + mail_attachment_detection_options setting controls when $HasAttachment and $HasNoAttachment keywords are set for mails. + imap: Support fetching body snippets using FETCH (SNIPPET) or (SNIPPET (LAZY=FUZZY)) + fs-compress: Automatically detect whether input is compressed or not. Prefix the compression algorithm with "maybe-" to enable the detection, for example: "compress:maybe-gz:6:..." + Added settings to change dovecot.index* files' optimization behavior. See https://wiki2.dovecot.org/IndexFiles#Settings + Auth cache can now utilize auth workers to do password hash verification by setting auth_cache_verify_password_with_worker=yes. + Added charset_alias plugin. See https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/CharsetAlias + imap_logout_format and pop3_logout_format settings now support all of the generic variables (e.g. %{rip}, %{session}, etc.) + Added auth_policy_check_before_auth, auth_policy_check_after_auth and auth_policy_report_after_auth settings. - v2.2.33: doveadm-server: Various fixes related to log handling. - v2.2.33: doveadm failed when trying to access UNIX socket that didn't require authentication. - v2.2.33: doveadm log reopen stopped working - v2.2.30+: IMAP stopped advertising SPECIAL-USE capability - v2.2.30+: IMAP stopped sending untagged OK/NO storage notifications - replication: dsync sends unnecessary replication notification for changes it does internally. NOTE: Folder creates, renames, deletes and subscribes still trigger unnecessary replication notifications, but these should be rather rare. - mail_always/never_cache_fields setting changes weren't applied for existing dovecot.index.cache files. - Fix compiling and other problems with OpenSSL v1.1 - auth policy: With master user logins, lookup using login username. - FTS reindexed all mails unnecessarily after loss of dovecot.index.cache file - mdbox rebuild repeatedly fails with "missing map extension" - SSL connections may have been hanging with imapc or doveadm client. - cassandra: Using protocol v3 (Cassandra v2.1) caused memory leaks and also timestamps weren't set to queries. - fs-crypt silently ignored public/private keys specified in configuration (mail_crypt_global_public/private_key) and just emitted plaintext output. - lock_method=dotlock caused crashes - imapc: Reconnection may cause crashes and other errors

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.22 for Dovecot v2.2.34.
by Stephan Bosch 01 Mar '18

01 Mar '18

Hello Dovecot users, Here is a new Pigeonhole release that goes with the new Dovecot v2.2.34 release. This release is not strictly necessary, as previous versions should be usable as well. This release only contains bugfixes. Changelog v0.4.22: - Fixed filesystem path handling problem: sieve plugin could have assert-crashed with specific path lengths with: "Panic: file realpath.c: line 86 (path_normalize): assertion failed: (npath_pos + 1 < npath + asize)". - Sieve extprograms plugin: Large output from "execute" command crashed delivery. Fixed buffering issue in code that handles output from the external program. - editheader extension: Extensively reworked the low-level implementation of adding and removing headers. This solves a few integer arithmetic problems reported by Clang runtime checks, but also improves code structure and reliability in general. - imapsieve: Fix assert crash occurring when selected messages are expunged concurrently by the time Sieve filter is to be applied. - imap4flags extension: Fix binary byte-code corruption occurring when the setflag, addflag, or removeflag command's flag-list is a variable. - enotify extension: mailto method: Fixed parsing of mailto URI with only a header part. - enotify extension: mailto method: Make sure "From:" header is set to a usable address and not "(null)". - Fixed writing address headers to outgoing messages. It sometimes erroneously applied another layer of MIME header encoding. The release is available as follows: https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.22.t… https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.22.t… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x wiki for more information. Have fun testing this release and don't hesitate to notify me when there are any problems. Regards, -- Stephan Bosch stephan(a)rename-it.nl

question about quota setting with postfix and dovecot
by Masaharu Kawada 01 Mar '18

01 Mar '18

Dear dovecot-list, I have questions regarding setting up quota with postfix(Maildir format)+ dovect. My main point of the question is to know how the user password is used in quota in this case. Please see the below configuration info and my questions are in the bottom. Here are what have been done: <Postfix side configuration> /etc/postfix/main.cf: ----- myhostname = mail.example.com mydomain = example.com myorigin = $mydomain inet_interfaces = all mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, $mydomain home_mailbox = Maildir/ mailbox_command = /usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -f "$SENDER" -a "$RECIPIENT" -d "$USER" <--Add ----- <Dovecot side configuration> 1. /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-auth.conf: #!include auth-system.conf.ext #!include auth-sql.conf.ext #!include auth-ldap.conf.ext !include auth-passwdfile.conf.ext <---Only enabled #!include auth-checkpassword.conf.ext #!include auth-vpopmail.conf.ext #!include auth-static.conf.ext 2. /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf service auth { snip/ unix_listener auth-userdb { mode = 0666 <---The permission for userdb 666 #user = #group = snip/ 3. /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf: mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir snip/ mail_plugins = $mail_plugins quota <---set the plugin snip/ 4. /etc/dovecot/conf.d/15-lda.conf: snip/ postmaster_address = root(a)example.com <---Add postmaster snip/ protocol lda { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins <--set the plugin } 5. /etc/dovecot/conf.d/20-imap.conf: protocol imap { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins imap_quota <--set the plugin snip/ 6. /etc/dovecot/conf.d/20-pop3.conf: snip/ protocol pop3 { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins quota <--set the plugin snip/ 7. /etc/dovecot/conf.d/90-quota.conf: plugin { <--set global quota quota = maildir:<User quota> quota_rule = *:storage=100M quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+100M } 8. /etc/dovecot/conf.d/auth-passwdfile.conf.ext: snip/ passdb { driver = passwd-file args = scheme=CRYPT username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/users <--Path for passwdfile } userdb { driver = passwd-file args = username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/users } snip/ 9. /etc/dovecot/users: test004:{SSHA256}hFxB8tbyZrCCcwZKDaQEiUfojbRovOq8ECU0syPHQTCY0233:18222:18222::/home/test004::userdb_quota_rule=*:storage=1M test005:{SSHA256}hFxB8tbyZrCCcwZKDaQEiUfojbRovOq8ECU0syPHQTCY0233:18223:18223::/home/test005::userdb_quota_rule=*:storage=1M test006:{SSHA256}hFxB8tbyZrCCcwZKDaQEiUfojbRovOq8ECU0syPHQTCY0233:18224:18224::/home/test006::userdb_quota_rule=*:storage=1M Note:The hashed password is created running the blow command: # doveadm pw -s ssha256 10. /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf: snip/ protocols = imap pop3 <--Available protocols snip/ 11. # service postfix restart # service dovcot restart Question: 1./etc/dovecot/users is supposed to be seen instead of /etc/passwd for authentification of imap and pops in receiving emails, isn't it? 2.If the answer for above question 1 is 'YES', then doesn't it require to get all password in /etc/passwd hashed for each user and place all of them into /etc/dovecot/users? 3.If the answer for above question 1 is 'NO', then what the hashed-password in /etc/dovcot/users such as {SSHA256}hFX... used for? Excuse me if those are silly questions, but I am not a dovecot person and would very much appreciate it if anyone would kindly give me a hand on this. Regards, Masaharu Kawada

Using virtual folders with younger and index files
by Rob Hoelz 01 Mar '18

01 Mar '18

Hi list, I just encountered a problem while using dovecot's Virtual plugin with 2.3.0. I managed to solve the issue, but I wanted to bring it to the attention of others on the list to see if there exists a better solution, if I found a bug, or if it's just a matter of updating documentation. I have a virtual folder to get the most recent two weeks of mails; it looks something like this: > INBOX > all younger 1209600 I made this folder back in October. Lately, I started to notice that the virtual folder had a surprising amount of mail in it - I don't get 1,000 e-mails per week! After some doveadm commands, I realized that e-mails from October were still present in my virtual folder! Updating the dovecot-virtual would clear away e-mails older than two weeks (I needed to actually introduce a change, even if it was just whitespace - just touching the file didn't update things), and removing the dovecot index file also cleared things away. In then end, I ended up just telling dovecot to disable on-disk indexes for that folder. I created this folder based on the examples on https://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Virtual - I'm wondering if I found a bug or if that page should be changed to recommend disabling on-disk indexes when using certain search query filters such as "younger". If the latter, I can always make the change - just let me know! -Rob
