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

Struggling with sieve, fileinto and variables.
by Barry Pearce 31 May '18

31 May '18

Hi, Im on Manjaro linux fully up to date running dovecot 2.3.1-2 pigeonhole 0.5.1-2 All is running well except I am having problems with fileinto - it refuses to use variables, and mailboxexists is also failing for me. Im just dealing with plus addressing - should be simple but the behaviour Im experiencing isnt right. require ["variables", "envelope", "fileinto", "subaddress", "mailbox"]; if envelope :matches :detail "to" "*" { set :lower "name" "${1}"; } fileinto :create "folder3"; This works, but changing the last line to: fileinto :create "${name}"; fails and files into inbox. As does: fileinto :create "${1}"; It makes no difference if the fileinto is placed inside the if statement or otherwise. Using sieve-test suggests the basic script it should work and traces show the right action. On a related matter the script Im actually trying to get to work is: require ["variables", "envelope", "fileinto", "subaddress", "mailbox"]; if envelope :matches :detail "to" "*" { set :lower "name" "${1}"; } if mailboxexists "${name}" { fileinto :create "${name}"; } But fails and files in the inbox. Modifying the script to: require ["variables", "envelope", "fileinto", "subaddress", "mailbox"]; if envelope :matches :detail "to" "*" { set :lower "name" "${1}"; } if mailboxexists "${name}" { fileinto :create "folder7"; } else { fileinto :create "folder8"; } Files into folder8. So the mailboxexists is failing. ## Started executing script 'plus-addressing' 3: envelope test 3: starting `:matches' match with `i;ascii-casemap' comparator: 3: getting `to' part from message envelope 3: extracting `detail' part from address <test+folder4(a)test.net> 3: matching value `folder4' 3: with key `*' => 1 3: finishing match with result: matched 3: jump if result is false 3: not jumping 4: set command 7: modify :lower "folder4" => "folder4" 7: assign `name' [0] = "folder4" 7: mailboxexists test 7: mailbox `folder4' cannot be opened 7: some mailboxes are unavailable 7: jump if result is false 7: jumping to line 9 10: fileinto action 10: store message in mailbox `folder8' ## Finished executing script 'plus-addressing' Here folder4 actually does exist - so the sieve-test confirms that issue. Im at a loss as to whats going on. Im particularly perplexed by the difference in behaviour between sieve-test and the result under the live server. Any ideas?

strange misflagging of incoming mail as trash
by Robb Aley Allan 31 May '18

31 May '18

Setting up postfix/dovecot on a clean FreeBSD cloud server, and have discovered a strange problem resulting from the interaction of Mac OS X Mail and dovecot (using the Maildir file structure). Essentially, under very specific circumstances, Mail somehow tells dovecot that a new incoming message is trash, dovecot marks it as such, and the message effectively vanishes. The specific circumstance is as follows: 1. A message is sent to a server running postfix. It is placed in the Maildir mail structure in the “new” directory. 2. OS X Mail is used to retrieve mail via IMAP, and dovecot transfers the message from “new” to “cur”. 3. OS X Mail has a rule that seeks to transfer an incoming message to a subfolder if the message sender belongs to a group created in the Contacts app (IOW the sender is matched against an OS-internal contacts database). 4. IF the sender is the user, AND the user is in the group against which the rule is compared, the message is marked as trash (suffix “T”) and is never loaded into the mail client, either in the inbox or in the trash folder. For all intents and purposes, it disappears. The connection log shows the following line: "WROTE May 30 23:38:11.960 [kCFStreamSocketSecurityLevelTLSv1_2] -- host:cloud.helical.com -- port:993 -- socket:0x6080004b6c80 -- thread:0x604000678e40 12.3 UID STORE 125 +FLAGS.SILENT (\Deleted)” which appears to be the client instructing dovecot to mark the message as deleted. I have the log files from the connection on both sides, and the console log from the Mac, but can’t understand 1. how Mail decides that the message should be deleted, and 2. why Mail “loses” the message (doesn’t appear in the Trash mailbox or anywhere else). _____ Robb Aley Allan

imapsieve: mailbox Trash: FLAG event
by Peter Schiffer 30 May '18

30 May '18

Hi all, after upgrade from Dovecot 2.2 to 2.3 I started to see that emails from Trash folder are automatically deleted after ~7 days. Email clients are not configured to automatically expunge or empty trash on log out (I see this behavior for multiple mailboxes, with different clients). With mail_debug enabled, I see this log message for every email that gets deleted from Trash: May 29 08:02:17 hostname dovecot: imap(some@mail)<7725><xxb6+VFtL+JT0CE 8>: Debug: imapsieve: mailbox Trash: FLAG event (changed flags: \Deleted) I have Dovecot 2.3.1 (8e2f634) and Pigeonhole 0.5.1 for sieve. My configuration can be found here: https://github.com/pschiffe/mailcow-dockerized/tree/master/data/conf/dovecot There is enabled support for sieve config in sql, but all sieve tables are empty, and there are no sieve filters for Trash flagging. Do you know how to find the source of that Trash flag event? I need to disable it or to configure it so it deletes emails at least couple of months old. Thanks all, peter

Second rule isn't apply when first rule matches
by daniel_1983＠protonmail.com 30 May '18

30 May '18

Dear list, I want to define two concurrent rules : 1. I want to flag an e-mail containing the word "cloud" in the body 2. I want to move mail sent explicitly to me (as opposed to mail sent to an alias I am part of) going to "INOBX.I must answere this" If I put rule (1) first, everything works as expected. If put rule (2) first, only that rule applies. Here's a small test case you should be able to reproduce on your setup. Let's work on this fake test e-mail : $ cat testmail.eml Date: Mon, 28 May 2018 12:41:53 +0100 From: friend(a)otherdomain.tld To: me(a)mydomain.tld Subject: dur dur la vie mon frère, le cloud c'est le top du top Here's the first, broken version of the script $ cat test.sieve require ["body","fileinto","imap4flags","vacation"]; # rule:[Mail about me] if anyof (header :contains "to" "me(a)mydomain.tld", body :text :contains "ahmed") { fileinto "INBOX.I must answere this"; } # rule:[Mail about the Cloud] if body :text :contains "cloud" { addflag "\\Flagged"; } Let's test it out, the two rules should be applied : $ sieve-test test.sieve testmail.eml Performed actions: * store message in folder: INBOX.I must answere Implicit keep: (none) sieve-test(root): Info: final result: success $ Notice that the last rule isn't applied although it matches. Now we invert the order of the rules and apply the script on the same test e-mail : $ cat test.sieve require ["body","fileinto","imap4flags","vacation"]; # rule:[Mail about the Cloud] if body :text :contains "cloud" { addflag "\\Flagged"; } # rule:[Mail about me] if anyof (header :contains "to" "me(a)mydomain.tld", body :text :contains "ahmed") { fileinto "INBOX.I must answere this"; } Running the test again : $ sieve-test test.sieve testmail.eml Performed actions: * store message in folder: INBOX.I must answere + add IMAP flags: \flagged Implicit keep: (none) sieve-test(root): Info: final result: success $ The IMAP flag was set ! Any ideas ?

Problem in Pigeonhole sievec
by Thorsten Hater 30 May '18

30 May '18

Dear all, I stumbled upon the following behaviour of Pigeonhole, which I consider to be problematic. A user deployed a Sieve script similar to the following snippet if not anyof (address :is ["from","cc"] ["...", ..., "...@... GARBAGE", ...] { fileinto "inbox.Trash"; stop; } Note the extra line break before GARBAGE. This script is obviously broken, but gets accepted by sievec and only fails later, at runtime with line X: error: found stray carriage-return (CR) character in quoted string started at line X. So, the question is whether line breaks in strings are allowed in general and the runtime error is unavoidable, or should sievec return an error? Best regards, Thorsten

OAUTH2 + proxying [host=??]
by DevOps 30 May '18

30 May '18

All, We currently use a proxy configuration with an sql query to authenticate and discover which backend server an address belongs to and proxy the connection to that host to authenticate and retrieve mail. We are looking to move to OAUTH2 for authentication and am just trying to figure how how to get that extra host information as part of the passdb query when using this mechanism. Looking at doco if we were running a director setup (which we are not) that process seems to be able to poke that info into response but is there any other way of doing this ? Should we be getting or can we get OAUTH2 to return extra fields and configure the pass_attrs to be host=%{passdb:proxyToHost} or something like that ? Any information/thoughts would be good to hear. rgds Matt

Bug: Dovecot index loosing sync with FTS despite "fts_autoindex = yes"
by kfx 29 May '18

29 May '18

dovecot 2.2.34 solr 7.2 I only see new messages after typing on the server "doveadm fts rescan -u username" though I've followed the wiki and added "fts_autoindex = yes" in 90-plugin.conf . Subsequent search for the same pattern always gives the same result, ignoring new emails with that particular pattern. Solr is working correctly and the correct search results comes immediately (whatever the searched word) after a "doveadm fts rescan" # doveconf | grep fts mail_plugins = " quota stats fts fts_solr" fts = solr fts_autoindex = yes fts_solr = url=http://localhost:8983/solr/dovecot/ [POP] mail_plugins = " quota stats fts fts_solr sieve virtual" [IMAP] mail_plugins = " quota stats fts fts_solr imap_quota virtual imap_stats"
