regarding ssl certificates
by mick crane 15 Mar '19

15 Mar '19

Excuse dopey question. I'm not exactly clear about certificates. Apache2 default install has this snake oil certificate Can make a new one for apache Can make one for dovecot Can make one for ssl Is there supposed to be the one (self signed ) certificate pair in one place for the machine that each process hands out ? Can they be moved to another machine ? mick -- Key ID C7D6E24C

lua policy for Weakforce and web mail failed login attempts
by Robert Kudyba 15 Mar '19

15 Mar '19

The good news is I believe I got Weakforce running 1) curl -X GET http://127.0.0.1:8084/?command=ping -u wforce:ourpassword {"status":"ok"}[ 2) after running the sample for loop: for a in {1..101}; do curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{"login":"ahu", "remote": "127.0.0.1", "pwhash":"1234'$a'", "success":"false"}' http://127.0.0.1:8084/?command=report -u wforce:ourpassword; done The result is: {"status":"ok"}{"status":"ok"}{"status":"ok"}{ 3) So checking the stats: curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{"ip":"127.0.0.1"}' http://127.0.0.1:8084/?command=getDBStats -u wforce:ourpassword {"bl_expire": "", "bl_reason": "", "blacklisted": false, "ip": "127.0.0.1", "stats": {"OneHourDB": {"diffFailedPasswords": 93}}} Notice the 93. 4) the reset works but I believe there's a bug in Getdbstats v2.0.0 where "blacklisted" is always shown: curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{"ip":"127.0.0.1"}' http://127.0.0.1:8084/?command=getDBStats -u wforce:ourpassword {"bl_expire": "", "bl_reason": "", "blacklisted": false, "ip": "127.0.0.1", "stats": {"OneHourDB": {"diffFailedPasswords": 0}}}[ 5) wforce -c Read configuration from '/usr/local/etc/wforce.conf' Connecting to 127.0.0.1:4004 > stats() 101 reports, 0 allow-queries (0 denies) The 3 big questions I have: a: how do I know IP's are being banned/rejected? Is there an alert creation or a way to see in the logs that the rules are in affect? b: since I installed via Git and ran "make" how to I get wforce --daemon to start on reboot? Is there a systemd file available? c: How do I create a lua policy that would catch these web dovecot login attempts?

Double quota calulation when special folder is present
by Bernd Wurst 15 Mar '19

15 Mar '19

Hello, we're operating dovecot on a small server. Some years ago, we migrated from courier IMAP to dovecot. Therefore, we defined our default Namespace "inbox" with prefix "INBOX." to have this compatible. I found this in some migration docs those days. Generally, everything worked as expected. Our only namespace is configured like this: namespace inbox { separator = . prefix = INBOX. inbox = yes } Regularly, there is no folder named INBOX or .INBOX in the file system, I suppose this is correct. But I found a special corner case today when it comes to quota calculation. When - for whatever reason - a folder .INBOX.foo (for arbitrary values of foo) exists, the whole mailbox is counted twice in quota recalculation. Just creating .INBOX does nothing but a subfolder triggers the problem. This is my shell view (replaced username and file path and deleted unnecessary debug output) $ cat maildirsize 268435456S 14697 17 $ maildirmake .INBOX.foo $ sudo doveadm -D quota recalc -u <user> [...] doveadm(<user>): Debug: Namespace inbox: type=private, prefix=INBOX., sep=., inbox=yes, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes location=maildir:/home/.../test doveadm(<user>): Debug: maildir++: root=/home/.../test, index=, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=/home/.../test, alt= doveadm(<user>): Debug: Namespace : type=private, prefix=, sep=, inbox=no, hidden=yes, list=no, subscriptions=no location=fail::LAYOUT=none doveadm(<user>): Debug: none: root=, index=, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=, alt= doveadm(<user>): Debug: quota: quota_over_flag check: quota_over_script unset - skipping doveadm(<user>): Debug: Quota root User quota: Recalculated relative rules with bytes=268435456 count=0. Now grace=26843545 doveadm(<user>): Debug: Namespace INBOX.: Using permissions from /home/.../test: mode=0700 gid=default $ cat maildirsize 268435456S 29394 34 So the used quota has exactly been doubled by just creating an empty subfolder. Do you have any pointers for fixing my configuration or is this a bug in dovecot? regards, Bernd

Upgrading to 2.3
by ＠lbutlr 15 Mar '19

15 Mar '19

I haven't upgraded to dovecot 2.3 yet, but am looking into doing it. I thought there was a link to some of the issues and changes you needed to make to your configuration to go from 2.2 to 2.3, but now I cannot find it. -- Science is the foot that kicks magic square in the nuts.

ACL Folders are open but not being displayed ? [2.3.3]
by Kunal A. 15 Mar '19

15 Mar '19

Hey, Could someone help figure out whats wrong with my config based on the debug below? What I am trying to achieve is to get email1(a)example.com to read emails in the Public directory that is stored on /run/media/computer/Storage/Email/fastmail/Archive with the preface Public/Archive . The ACL has been set for anyone with permissions to lookup,read,write as shown below:- doveadm acl get -u email1(a)example.com Public/Archive ID Global Rights anyone lookup read write But when I try to access the emails for email1(a)example.com , there are no folders. Could someone here help review my debug log and advise what could be causing this (dovecot -n output is provided below the debug message) Many thanks for assistance.

dovecot.conf "local hostname" uses only one resolved value
by James 14 Mar '19

14 Mar '19

https://wiki.dovecot.org/SSL/DovecotConfiguration#Different_certificates_pe… says: local 192.0.2.10 { # instead of IP you can also use hostname, which will be resolved However if the name resolves to multiple values only one is used. Test. Choose any name with multiple values, I created a local name: $ nslookup multi.lan Server: 127.0.0.1 Address: 127.0.0.1#53 Name: multi.lan Address: 192.168.1.2 Name: multi.lan Address: 192.168.1.3 Name: multi.lan Address: 192.168.1.1 Minimal dovecot.conf: local multi.lan { protocol imap { ssl_cert = </path/to/certs/multi.lan.crt ssl_key = </path/to/certs/multi.lan.key } } $ dovecot -n -c dovecot.conf # 2.3.5 (513208660): dovecot.conf ... local 192.168.1.2 { protocol imap { ssl_cert = </path/to/certs/multi.crt ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it } } Only 192.168.1.2 appears. In my real case with A and AAAA records, only the AAAA record is used. Testing with "openssl s_client -starttls imap ..." gives me the wrong certificate for the IPv4 address. Workaround: specify all addresses and do not use lookup. James.

dovecot/config processes one more time - which are safe to kill?
by Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz 14 Mar '19

Hello. The problem with dovecot/config processes never ending and spawning new one on each reload (https://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2016-November/106058.html) is becoming a problem here: # ps aux|grep dovecot/config|wc -l 206 That's a lot of wasted memory - dovecot/config processes ate over 30GB of ram on 64GB box. Before killing dovecot/config processes: # free -m total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 64437 61656 483 0 2297 after: # free -m total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 64437 23676 37822 0 2939 Currently on dovecot 2.3.3. I guess it's very low priority to handle that, so: how can I figure out which dovecot/config processes are safe to be killed by external script? Does "all beside 2 newest ones" rule look sane? Thanks, -- Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz, arekm / ( maven.pl | pld-linux.org )

Quota questions
by Peter Hudec 14 Mar '19

14 Mar '19

Hi all, I’m a little bit confused about the quota plugin in dovecot and fighting the the issues the people had years ago. I spent readingg the old archives and the mailing list for 3 days and not able to get work some features. Single user quota is fine and simple, the group quota /for example domain based/ makes me unhappy. Setup: CentOS7, dovecot comunity repo, dovecot 2.3.5 1) domain quota recalc domain quota recalc do not work properly. The domain qouta usage is worknig well, hwhen receiving/deleting mail, generaly if the operations are incremental. But if I run domain quota recalc, the doveadm is setting the domain quota after each user calculation, that means the domain quota is set to the last user. 2) multiple quota roots and rules According the documentation, there could be possible, from the sample configuration file # Multiple quota roots are also possible, for example this gives each user # their own 100MB quota and one shared 1GB quota within the domain plugin { quota = dict:User quota::proxy::quota quota2 = dict:Group quota:%d:proxy::quota_domain quota_rule = *:storage=1024M quota2_rule = *:storage=2048M } But If I run [TEST] root(a)mail-store01.test.host.sk: /etc/dovecot # doveadm quota get -u '*' Username Quota name Type Value Limit % test01(a)test.host.sk User quota STORAGE 1 1024 0 test01(a)test.host.sk User quota MESSAGE 1 - 0 test01(a)test.host.sk Group quota STORAGE 7 - 0 test01(a)test.host.sk Group quota MESSAGE 3 - 0 test03(a)test.host.sk User quota STORAGE 7 1024 0 test03(a)test.host.sk User quota MESSAGE 3 - 0 test03(a)test.host.sk Group quota STORAGE 7 - 0 test03(a)test.host.sk Group quota MESSAGE 3 - 0 The idea is to have overall domain quota, but for user able to set it’s personal quota. regards Peter
