Hello, just upgraded one of my testing machine from dovecot 1.2.15 to 2.0.7.

Hello, Can someone tell me if it’s possible to configure dovecot to answer quota information about real mailbox when I query a postfix alias mailbox (this information is actually in a mysql database) ? Example : doveadm quota get - u alias(a)domain.com doveadm(alias(a)domain.com): Fatal: User doesn't exist doveadm quota get - u realmailbox(a)domain.com Quota name Type Value Limit % user STORAGE 2048853 2048000 100 user MESSAGE 6783 - 0 I’d like to have this result : doveadm quota get - u alias(a)domain.com Quota name Type Value Limit % user STORAGE 2048853 2048000 100 user MESSAGE 6783 - 0 doveadm quota get - u realmailbox(a)domain.com Quota name Type Value Limit % user STORAGE 2048853 2048000 100 user MESSAGE 6783 - 0 Thanks for your help.

Mailbox problem on centos O/S after some "fiddling"
by John Richards 28 May '21

28 May '21

Good day from Somerset, England Version 2.2.10 Problem after a huge centos update Data:- Server has 8 mailboxes under /var/mail/"user name" history:- After update, mail to ONE user was going into mqueue as undeliverable Had to delete and recreate the user. somewhere along the line (ME!) /var/mail/;imap var/mail/new were deleted After new user and reboot server no one could access mailboxes with password error except ONE user randomly....This created the /var/mail/.mbox folder and sub folders but with the owner as the user name. Then any mail for other users was put in the /var/new folder and just sat there. only the "owner" of this folder could get mail, everyone else was prohibited with password error. chown the folder (owner:group) to root did nothing BUT When .mbox was give PUBLIC execute permissions (771) suddenly everything works fine! I do not understand why dovecot creates this folder as we ONLY ever use pop3 (currently with plain text auth but going to secure when this sorted) for mail and also why when it writes the blank folder it "owns" it with the user accessing it (also the /var/mail/new folder takes the same owner) I have trolled everywhere and spent a whole day on this so any clues would be very gratefully accepted as do not like to leave this folder as 771 (note the folder INBOX within it is only 770 and the log file in that is 660) Is this INBOX needed at all for pop3 ? rgds John Richards UK ================= dovecot -n # 2.2.10: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.10.0-514.2.2.el7.x86_64 x86_64 CentOS Linux release 7.3.1611 (Core ) ext4 auth_mechanisms = plain login disable_plaintext_auth = no mail_location = mbox:/var/mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u mbox_write_locks = fcntl 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 { driver = shadow } protocols = pop3 service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 143 } inet_listener imaps { port = 993 ssl = yes } } ssl_cert = </etc/pki/tls/certs/watchetwebdesign.co.uk.crt ssl_key = </etc/pki/tls/private/watchetwebdesign.co.uk.key userdb { driver = passwd }

Hi, I'm running every week in cron "doveadm expunge -A mailbox Spam before 30d" and monthly "doveadm quota recalc -A". After the upgrade to dovecot 2.2.12 (from 2.1.17), "doveadm -A" sometimes exit with this error: doveadm(user(a)domain.com): Error: User listing returned failure doveadm: Error: Failed to iterate through some users # echo $? 75 If I re-run the same command the user where doveadm stops changeing (always in alphabetical order): info@ mario@ pippo@ zazza@ and finally, after 3 or 4 run, ends with success. I have enable debug (via doveadm -D and auth/mail debub in 10-logging.con) but there are no errors or difference in the log when doveadm exit with the error (error code is 75).

imap doesn't like my passwd
by James 31 Jul '20

31 Jul '20

I spent days on this problem. I have dovecot setup to use SSL and IMAP. I also have a pop account that I had no trouble getting working. Both use PAM authentication on Linux. openssl s_client -connect localhost:993 a login test_user test_secure_password The response I got back was: a BAD Invalid characters in atom I changed the password to "abc" and it worked. The secure password used to work but it was a different architecture (x86_64 I think). The current architecture is armhf. It may be different versions of the software too. Dovecot v2.1.7

[Dovecot] Postfixadmin/MySQL/Dovecot 2 and quota
by Matt 01 Apr '20

01 Apr '20

Hi all, I'm setting up a new email server based on the softwares list below: * Postfix * Dovecot 2.0.9 * MySQL * Postfixadmin 2.3.6 My current problem is I'm unsure whether quota feature is well configured or not. In order to test and validate, I use Roundcubemail GUI which provides percentage of the space used by the mailbox (quota should be applied per mailbox). Here, my dovecot configuration: dovecot.conf: dict { quotadict = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-quota.conf } dovecot-dict-quota.conf: connect = host=localhost dbname=postfix user=postfix password=postfix map { pattern = priv/quota/storage table = quota2 username_field = username value_field = bytes } map { pattern = priv/quota/messages table = quota2 username_field = username value_field = messages } dovecot-sql.conf.ext: driver = mysql connect = host=localhost dbname=postfix user=postfix password=postfix default_pass_scheme = PLAIN-MD5 password_query = SELECT username AS user, password, \ CONCAT('*:storage=', CAST(quota AS CHAR), 'b') AS quota_rule \ FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active='1' user_query = SELECT maildir, 89 AS uid, 12 AS gid, \ concat('dict:storage=',floor(quota/1000),'::proxy::quotadict') AS quota, \ CONCAT('*:storage=', CAST(quota AS CHAR), 'b') AS quota_rule \ FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active='1' conf.d/90-quota.conf: plugin { quota = dict:user::proxy::quotadict quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+10%% } conf.d/20-imap.conf: protocol imap { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins imap_quota } When I check postfixadmin GUI, I can see that quota in realtime in quota2 table, no problem. But Roundcubemail cannot get this information and shows a unknown quota. If I add this line: quota_rule = *:storage=1G in conf.d/90-quota.conf file, it works, I mean roundcubemail gets and shows information (but not the one stored in db of course). I think I'm close to the right configuration but I need your help to complete this setup. Thank you in advance for your help. Best, Matt

When I use fs:posix as dict for acl_shared_dict, like in Dovecot wiki (https://wiki.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/ClusterSetup) doveadm-server crash with error: # doveadm acl set -u USERNAME FOLDER user=DEST_USERNAME lookup read write-seen doveadm(USERNAME): Panic: file dict-fs.c: line 127 (fs_dict_iterate_init): assertion failed: ((flags & DICT_ITERATE_FLAG_RECURSE) == 0) doveadm(USERNAME): Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x9f3de) [0x7f0e4a4b23de] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(default_fatal_handler+0x2a) [0x7f0e4a4b244a] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_fatal+0) [0x7f0e4a44377c] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x31688) [0x7f0e4a444688] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(dict_iterate_init_multiple+0x4d) [0x7f0e4a47cadd] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(dict_iterate_init+0x29) [0x7f0e4a47cb89] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/lib01_acl_plugin.so(acl_lookup_dict_rebuild+0x3e1) [0x7f0e49a40371] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/lib01_acl_plugin.so(acl_backend_vfile_acllist_rebuild+0x488) [0x7f0e49a3dd18] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/lib01_acl_plugin.so(acl_backend_vfile_object_update+0x3c7) [0x7f0e49a3e867] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/lib01_acl_plugin.so(acl_mailbox_update_acl+0x68) [0x7f0e49a41e28] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/doveadm/lib10_doveadm_acl_plugin.so(+0x2c11) [0x7f0e48da1c11] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/doveadm/lib10_doveadm_acl_plugin.so(+0x3060) [0x7f0e48da2060] -> doveadm(+0x2b41c) [0x556f1280b41c] -> doveadm(+0x2c01a) [0x556f1280c01a] -> doveadm(doveadm_cmd_ver2_to_mail_cmd_wrapper+0x23b) [0x556f1280ce7b] -> doveadm(doveadm_cmd_run_ver2+0x50c) [0x556f1281c73c] -> doveadm(doveadm_cmd_try_run_ver2+0x37) [0x556f1281c7d7] -> doveadm(main+0x1e4) [0x556f127fb944] -> /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf5) [0x7f0e4a071c05] -> doveadm(+0x1bd35) [0x556f127fbd35] Aborted Attached coredump and configuration. I'm not a programmer, but seems that assert is raised by 'fs_dict_iterate_init' function inside 'src/lib-dict-extra/dict-fs.c': static struct dict_iterate_context * fs_dict_iterate_init(struct dict *_dict, const char *const *paths, enum dict_iterate_flags flags) { ... /* these flags are not supported for now */ i_assert((flags & DICT_ITERATE_FLAG_RECURSE) == 0); ... because it is called by 'acl_lookup_dict_iterate_read' function in file 'src/plugins/acl/acl-lookup-dict.c' static void acl_lookup_dict_iterate_read(struct acl_lookup_dict_iter *iter) { ... dict_iter = dict_iterate_init(iter->dict->dict, prefix, DICT_ITERATE_FLAG_RECURSE); ... with DICT_ITERATE_FLAG_RECURSE set. Same problem also with Dovecot 2.3.0. Thanks, Marco -- Marco Giunta - ITCS SysAdmin Via Bonomea, 265 34136 - Trieste, Italy Tel: +39-040-3787-503 Fax: +39-040-3787-244
