Dovecot 2.2.36-rc1 and $HasAttachment
by Alessio Cecchi 10 May '18

10 May '18

Hi, I installed dovecot 2.2.36-rc1 and enabled: mail_attachment_detection_options = add-flags-on-save but when messages are delivery via dovecot-lda into mailbox (Maildir) keywords are not added. Only when the messages is open keywords ($HasAttachment or $HasNoAttachment) are added. From the wiki "attachments are detected and marked during save", delivery via LDA is "save"? For info, doveadm rebuild attachments works fine. Since 2.2.36 will be the last v2.2.x release I hope that this feature will be fixed since is very useful. Thanks -- Alessio Cecchi Postmaster @ http://www.qboxmail.it https://www.linkedin.com/in/alessice

mmap failed messages in syslog
by Shawn Heisey 10 May '18

10 May '18

I'm getting mmap failed messages in syslog on version 1.2.15 for dovecot.index.cache files. This old dovecot version is installed with debian packages. The OS and all software is 64-bit. I've found info on this log message, with a suggested fix of raising vsz_limit ... but this seems to be a config option for dovecot 2.x, not 1.x. The file it complains about being unable to mmap is only 90MB, and the biggest cache file I have found on the system is only 180MB. The system has 4GB of total memory with about 1GB of that allocated to OS disk cache right now. The mmap functionality provided by the OS doesn't use *actual* memory, so the amount of memory I have should be irrelevant. Checking 'ulimit -a' with several users shows that vmemory is unlimited for all of them. How do I go about allowing docevot 1.x to use more virtual memory? I do have a migration planned to Ubuntu 16, where I can run a 2.x version, but that's not going to happen for a while. Thanks, Shawn

[sieve][regex] Matching multiple strings in the "Received" header

Hi, I'm trying to use this expression in Sieve, but for some reason the filter doesn't work: require ["fileinto","regex"]; # rule:[gmail-outlook-yahoo-aol-friends] if header :regex "received" ".from.*(outbound.protection.outlook.com|.google.com|.yahoo.com|mx.aol.com)." { fileinto "INBOX.gmail-hotmail-yahoo-aol-friends"; stop; } However, it's working fine with egrep: egrep ".from.*(outbound.protection.outlook.com|.google.com|.yahoo.com|mx.aol.com)." * 1525657297.M401428P1459.host01.quick.net.au,S=10073,W=10275:2,S:Received: from APC01-PU1-obe.outbound.protection.outlook.com (mail-oln040092254061.outbound.protection.outlook.com [40.92.254.61]) Am I using Sieve correctly here? Is ".from.*(outbound.protection.outlook.com|.google.com|.yahoo.com|mx.aol.com)." expression valid for Sieve? Or do I have to split it in an array as per https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Pigeonhole/Sieve/Examples#Flagging_or_Highlightin… example? Thanks, -- Adi Pircalabu

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.24.rc1 for Dovecot v2.2.36.rc1.
by Stephan Bosch 08 May '18

08 May '18

Hello Dovecot users, Here's a first release candidate for the upcoming Pigeonhole release for Dovecot v2.2.36. It only contains bugfixes for now. There's one experimental plugin still in the pipeline. Changelog v0.4.24: - Fix assert panics triggered by empty messages that are being forwarded using redirect or vnd.dovecot.report. This does not likely normally occur, but this is seen as a result of certain benign failures in object storage. - Make the length of the subject header for the vacation response configurable and enforce the limit in UTF-8 codepoints rather than bytes. The subject header for a vacation response was statically truncated to 256 bytes, which is too limited for multi-byte UTF-8 characters. - Sieve editheader extension: Fix assertion panic occurring when it is used to manipulate a message header with a very large header field. - Properly abort execution of the sieve_discard script upon error. Before, the LDA Sieve plugin attempted to execute the sieve_discard script when an error occurs. This can lead to the message being lost. - Fix the interaction between quota and the sieve_discard script. When quota was used together with a sieve_discard script, the message delivery did not bounce when the quota was exceeded. The release is available as follows: http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.24… http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.24… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot wiki for more information. Have fun testing this release candidate and don't hesitate to notify me when there are any problems. Regards, -- Stephan Bosch stephan(a)rename-it.nl

2.3.1 Replication is throwing scary errors

Hi all, New to the mailing lists but have joined up because of above */2.3.1 Replication is throwing scary errors /*Brief system configuration MX1 - Main Freebsd 11.1-Release-p9 Hosted on a Vultr VM in Sydney AU MTA = Postfix 3.4-20180401 Dovecot = 2.3.1 File system = ufs MX2 - Backup Freebsd 11.1-Release-p9 Running on bare metal - no VM or jails MTA = Postfix 3.4-20180401 Dovecot = 2.3.1 File system = ufs ( on SSD) */ /*Brief sequence of events 1. apx 10 days back upgraded both mx1 and mx2 to dovecot 2.3.1_2 from 2.3.0 (service dovecot stop, portmaster upgrade, service dovecot start) 2. both systems ran ok with no errors for 10 days. 3. Last night I shutdown mx2 and restarted it a few hours later 4. within minutes i was getting the following types of errors on mx2 May 06 12:56:29 doveadm: Error: Couldn't lock /var/mail/vhosts/example.net/user1/.dovecot-sync.lock: fcntl(/var/mail/vhosts/example.net/user1/.dovecot-sync.lock, write-lock, F_SETLKW) locking failed: Timed out after 30 seconds (WRITE lock held by pid 1960) Before i venture down the rabbit hole of fault finding and excess coffee consumption I was wondering if any of you had any updates on the problems discussed below.

Linode use SSDs for IO. There is native IPv6 connectivity between both VMs. As I am using TCPs I don't have a VPN between them - just raw IPv6 end to end. OS: Gentoo Linux x86_64 kept well up to date Filesystem: EXT4 for both MTA: Postfix 3.4-x (same as you) IMAP: Dovecot running natively on the machine (no jail/chroot) Replication: Secured TCP / master-master (but only one master is actively used for SMTP and MUA access) MUA: Thunderbird, Maildroid, MS Mail, Gmail client, Roundcube, LG Mail client on handset etc >/I believe it is worthwhile to mention here that I run a poor man's fail-over approach (round-robin DNS) as follows: />//>/DNS: mail.server.tld resolves to one IP4 and one IP6 address of each server, thus 4 IP addresses in total / For me I have a simple pair of servers that replicate mail to each other. Clients connect to the main server only, which is where mail comes in. The second one that experiences the problem with locking is only a redundant server which is a secondary MX, that only gets occasional SMTP deliveries from time to time. So the amount of replication back from the "secondary" is very minimal; the vast bulk of the replication is the primary replicating changes out. Reuben

Re: expiring mail from root's Maildirs?

So dovecot cannot expire, reindex, clean, repair, etc root mail? The mail is crontab mail that is sent out to users via mutt. What would be the "right” way to do this? (The cron tasks run as root because they are scanning system logs on behalf of certain users and those scans cannot be run as the user.) -- My main job is trying to come up with new and innovative and effective ways to reject even more mail. I'm up to about 97% now.
