Plugins/Mailcrypt: mail_crypt_private_password not assigned by password_query
by Max Kostikov 20 May '19

20 May '19

I try to use Mailcrypt encrypted user keys with conjustion with dbsync replication(Dovecot 2.3.6 in FreeBSD 12.0 enviroment) but was unsuccessful. If I provide a password in mail_crypt_private_password variable directly in Dovecot config all things works as expected plugin { mail_crypt_curve = prime256v1 mail_crypt_save_version = 2 mail_crypt_require_encrypted_user_key = yes mail_crypt_private_password = 12345 } but when I remove this and trying to get the same user password in password_query it seems password doesn't assigned password_query = SELECT username AS user, password, \ '%w' AS userdb_mail_crypt_private_password \ FROM mailbox WHERE username = LCASE('%u') \ AND active = '1' with errors like this in log at server where message was accepted from remote system May 20 00:40:31 server1 dovecot[35417]: dsync-local(foo(a)example.com)<Y51qBF/b4VyHigAAJQnBKg>: Error: dsync(server1.example.com): read() failed: read(/var/mail/example.com/foo/new/1558305609.M674400P35456.server1.example… failed: Private key not available: Cannot decrypt key a4ceb2df0287c0c0ccb0d76e31d91824e1f13e9ffe63d1e04a9a233a073d8a64: Cannot decrypt key 5d19a9246ddce2759a21462974add562dd90f2cb2aa3ff6a5af1af1e3e9b58e6: Password not available (last sent=mail, last recv=mail_request (EOL)) and errors at replica server May 20 00:40:31 server2 dovecot[63985]: dsync-local(foo(a)example.com)<MpW+HV/b4VwD+wAAfP91Tw>: Error: dsync(server2.example.com): read() failed: read() failed: dot-input stream ends without '.' line (last sent=mail_request (EOL), last recv=mail) The question is it possible to have password encrypted user keys with Dovecot dbsync replication or we found a new bug? -- With best regards, Max Kostikov W: https://kostikov.co | DeltaChat: mk(a)eprove.net

Merging existing mailboxes to aliases
by Lefteris Tsintjelis 19 May '19

19 May '19

I am trying to merge all, existing or not, different mailboxes in one with the mailbox alias plugin. If I add the following lines, will the existing mailboxes automatically merge in one mailbox and corresponding links auto create? If not, do I have to do this manually? mailbox_alias_new = Spam mailbox_alias_new2 = Junk E-mail mailbox_alias_new3 = Sent Items mailbox_alias_new4 = Sent Messages mailbox_alias_new5 = Deleted Items mailbox_alias_old = Junk mailbox_alias_old2 = Junk mailbox_alias_old3 = Sent mailbox_alias_old4 = Sent mailbox_alias_old5 = Trash Lefteris

Do we need ssl_dh_parameters_length in version 2.3
by MRob 19 May '19

19 May '19

Hi, I couldn't really find documentation about ssl_dh_parameters_length except for mention in passing on the page https://wiki2.dovecot.org/SSL/DovecotConfiguration For version 2.3 and above is that setting necessary? If so what are the values I can use, is setting it high like 4096 beneficial or make any problems for clients? Thanks for assistance.

How to continuously gather statistics?
by Roel van Duijnhoven 17 May '19

17 May '19

Hello, I recently upgraded to the latest version of Dovecot, and want to use the newly introduced logging / event system. I want to fetch the statistics every couple of seconds, and push those to our logging platform. Metrics such as: number of IMAP commands, average time they took, etc. However the metrics as reported by Dovecot continously increment. So I see two solutions: - Our solution could keep track of the previous values. But that could also break if the statistics are reset for some reason (e.g. threshold reached). - My second thought was to use "stats -r". That *should* clear the statistics directly after fetching them. And thus, give a better picture. However I am not sure if this gives me actual useful results. Or is there maybe a better approach to fetch statistics that I overlooked? Thanks a lot. Best, Roel van Duijnhoven

Dovecot Separator change
by Oliver Werner 16 May '19

16 May '19

Hi community, actually we are using dovecot 2.2.27 without shares mailboxes. Now we would like to implement it. So the problem is that our separator is dot „.“ and the username like „firstname.surname“. That’s doesn’t works with shared mailboxes. Are there a migration guide for changing „.“ to „/„ or it's not possible? kind regards Oliver

File-dictionary based quotas and SETQUOTA
by Ganael Laplanche 16 May '19

16 May '19

Hello, I am trying to set up file-dictionary based quotas while supporting the SETQUOTA IMAP command. I am using the following configuration : ---- plugin { quota = dict:User quota::file:%h/Maildir/dovecot-quota quota_set = dict:file:%h/Maildir/dovecot-quota } ---- which enables correct quota accounting + setting through SETQUOTA. A user's dovecot-quota file ends with the following contents : ---- priv/quota/limit/storage 5242880 priv/quota/limit/messages 20 priv/quota/messages 1 priv/quota/storage 8506282 ---- which shows a correct accounting (1 mail received, ~8MB used) and correct setting after having used the following IMAP command through a master user : A2 SETQUOTA "User quota" (STORAGE 5242880 MESSAGE 20) *But* the problem is that I am unable to fetch the limits and consume them from userdb (as a consequence, the limits are never applied). On the consuming side, I am using a dictionary userdb to try to fetch the 'priv/quota/limit/storage' value from the file but it does not work because the key is never found. Here is my configuration : ---- userdb { driver = dict args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-quota.conf.ext } ---- and my dovecot-dict-quota.conf.ext file : ---- uri = file:%h/Maildir/dovecot-quota iterate_disable = yes key quota { key = priv/quota/limit/storage default_value = 100 } userdb_fields { quota_rule = *:storage=%{dict:quota} } ---- If I try to fetch the quota for that user : # doveadm quota get -u ganael.laplanche(a)centralesupelec.fr Quota name Type Value Limit % User quota STORAGE 8307 100 8307 User quota MESSAGE 1 - 0 the default rule is returned (100). The logs show : May 16 12:02:45 mailhost1-saclay dovecot: auth-worker(12899): Debug: dict(Ganael.Laplanche(a)centralesupelec.fr): Lookup: shared/priv/quota/limit/ storage not found, using default value 100 We can see that the default quota rule has been applied because the key is not found. The problem is that a "shared/" prefix is always prepended when looking for the key I configured (priv/quota/limit/storage). If I test the dictionary manually, the key is found : # doveadm dict get -u ganael.laplanche(a)centralesupelec.fr "file:/var/vmail/l/ laplanche_gan/Maildir/dovecot-quota" priv/quota/limit/storage 5242880 Does anyone know how to prevent Dovecot from adding that prefix and make it fetch the correct value from userdb ?
