Case sensitive problem for vacation with dovecot lmtp pigeonhole
by kadafax＠gmail.com 11 Sep '19

11 Sep '19

Hi list, This issue was raised here by John Fawcett on 12/02/19 but got no response. So, as I'm facing the same issue, I would like to try again: When using the vacation sieve extension, if I send an email to user.name(a)mydomain.com it will work, but not to User.Name(a)mydomain.com. Is there a way to make the user part case insensitive so that the vacation auto-reply is fired whatever the way user part is written ? doveconf -n output: # 2.3.5.1 (7ec6d0ade): /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.5.5 (2483b085) # OS: Linux 3.10.0-957.5.1.el7.x86_64 x86_64 CentOS Linux release 7.6.1810 (Core) ext4 # Hostname: myserver.mydomain.com auth_master_user_separator = * auth_username_chars = abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ01234567890.-_@* auth_verbose = yes debug_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-debug.log default_client_limit = 10640 default_process_limit = 2128 default_vsz_limit = 0 hostname = mydomain.com info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log lda_mailbox_autocreate = yes lda_mailbox_autosubscribe = yes listen = * log_path = /var/log/dovecot-error.log login_greeting = Welcome mail_gid = vmail mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/%Ln mail_plugins = quota fts fts_lucene mail_uid = vmail managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date index ihave duplicate mime foreverypart extracttext namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = maildir:/var/vmail/%Ln mailbox Drafts { auto = subscribe special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Sent { auto = subscribe special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { auto = subscribe special_use = \Trash } prefix = type = private } passdb { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/deny-users deny = yes driver = passwd-file } passdb { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/master-users driver = passwd-file master = yes pass = yes } passdb { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext driver = ldap } plugin { fts = lucene fts_autoindex = yes fts_lucene = whitespace_chars=@. quota = maildir:User quota quota_rule = *:storage=30GB quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+200M quota_warning = storage=95%% quota-warning 95 %u quota_warning2 = storage=80%% quota-warning 80 %u sieve = /var/sieve-scripts/%Ln.sieve sieve_dir = /var/vmail/%Ln/home/sieve } postmaster_address = postmaster(a)mydomain.com protocols = imap pop3 lmtp sieve sieve quota_full_tempfail = yes service auth-worker { user = $default_internal_user } service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { mode = 0777 user = vmail } } service imap-login { inet_listener imaps { port = 993 ssl = yes } process_min_avail = 10 } service imap { process_limit = 2128 } service lmtp { executable = lmtp -L process_min_avail = 15 unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { group = postfix mode = 0600 user = postfix } } service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve { port = 4190 } } service pop3-login { inet_listener pop3s { port = 995 ssl = yes } } service quota-warning { executable = script /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh user = nobody } ssl_cert = </etc/letsencrypt/live/myserver.mydomain.com/fullchain.pem ssl_dh = # hidden, use -P to show it ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it userdb { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap-userdb.conf.ext driver = ldap override_fields = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/var/vmail/%Ln/home } protocol imap { mail_max_userip_connections = 30 mail_plugins = quota fts fts_lucene imap_quota } protocol lmtp { info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-lmtp.log log_path = /var/log/dovecot-lmtp-errors.log mail_plugins = quota fts fts_lucene sieve } protocol sieve { mail_max_userip_connections = 20 }

Dovecot Director upgrade from 2.2 to 2.3
by Alessio Cecchi 10 Sep '19

10 Sep '19

Hi, I have a setup with 3 Dovecot Director v2.2.36 and director_consistent_hashing = yes ;-) Now I would like to upgrade to 2.3.7, first only Director and after also Backend. Can works fine a ring of director with mixed 2.2 and 2.3 version? Mi idea is to setup a new Director server with 2.3, stop one server with 2.2 and insert the new 2.3 in the current ring to check if works fine. If all works fine I will replace all Director 2.2 with 2.3 version. Thanks -- Alessio Cecchi Postmaster @ http://www.qboxmail.it https://www.linkedin.com/in/alessice

flags not synced correctly with dovecot sync (dsync)
by Dan Christensen 31 Aug '19

31 Aug '19

I'm running dovecot 2.3.4.1 from https://repo.dovecot.org/ on Ubuntu 18.04 on three machines that I'll call server, laptop1 and laptop2. Both laptop1 and laptop2 run dovecot sync against server to keep local copies of my imap folders. Even when I initially had only two machines, laptop1 and server, I occasionally noticed that flags were lost, usually custom flags used by Gnus, but I couldn't reliably reproduce the problem. Now that I have two laptops syncing against the server, the problem has gotten worse and I figured out a way to reproduce it: - on server: create new IMAP folder test, and put two read messages in it - on laptop1: doveadm sync -u user -l 10 -m test -f user@server - on laptop2: doveadm sync -u user -l 10 -m test -f user@server At this point, all three machines show the two messages M1 and M2 as being read. - on laptop1: mark message M1 unread - on laptop2: mark message M2 unread - on laptop1: doveadm sync -u user -l 10 -m test -f user@server Both laptop1 and server have M1 unread, M2 read, as expected. - on laptop2: doveadm sync -u user -l 10 -m test -f user@server Now laptop2 and server have M1 *read*, M2 unread. - on laptop1: doveadm sync -u user -l 10 -m test -f user@server Now laptop1 and the server have both M1 and M2 *read*. - on laptop2: doveadm sync -u user -l 10 -m test -f user@server Now laptop2 has both read as well. The two lines that say "*read*" are wrong in my opinion. dsync propagated a read mark to an unread message, even though that message was marked unread more recently than it was marked read. I usually use stateful sync, and get many related problems. I just did a test in which M1 and M2 started out read, and I started with empty files named dstate.test on laptop1 and laptop2. Then I did the above procedure, using the command doveadm sync -u user -l 10 -m test -s "`cat dstate.test`" user@server > dstate.test At the end, laptop2 and server had both messages unread (which is good), but laptop1 had only M1 unread, and repeated runs of the sync command did not correct this. So the stateful sync failed to detect a change. Are these bugs in dovecot? Is there more information that I can provide? The output of doveconf -n on one machine is below, and the others are almost identical. Thanks for any help!

Autoexpunge not working for Junk?
by Amir Caspi 14 Aug '19

14 Aug '19

Hi all, I set up dovecot a couple of months ago and am having trouble getting autoexpunge=30d to work on my Trash and Junk mailboxes. Not sure why not because I'm not getting error messages in my log. Running "doveadm search -u <user> mailbox Junk savedbefore 30d" shows me many messages (I've got messages back to mid-May, and a couple of other users have them back to early April, although if this setting were working, there should be nothing earlier than June 24). Running a manual doveadm expunge works fine... it's just autoexpunge that seems to not be running at all. I'm using sendmail as the MTA and procmail as the LDA, so dovecot is running purely for IMAP/POP service. Any help is much appreciated.

[BUG?] Double quota calulation when special folder is present
by Mark Moseley 07 Aug '19

07 Aug '19

Just hoping to get some dev eyes on this. I'm incredibly reluctant to throw the word 'bug' around (since 99 times out of 100, it's not -- it's almost always the config), but I can't think of any way that this could be a config issue, esp when the pre-2.2.34 version works as expected. I noticed during troubleshooting that dovecot errors out if I try to create a subfolder called 'INBOX' but it'll happily create a subfolder called INBOX.SomethingElse (i.e. a folder called INBOX.INBOX.SomethingElse - resulting in a directory called .INBOX.SomethingElse on the filesystem, and leading to the problem described below). Is that sub-subfolder creation (where the top level subfolder matches the namespace name) supposed to be allowed? It seems odd that 'INBOX' (as a subfolder of INBOX) would be blocked but INBOX.SomethingElse (as a subfolder of INBOX) would be allowed. I'd expect INBOX.SomethingElse (i.e. INBOX.INBOX.SomethingElse) would be blocked as well.

I'm seeing the exact same after upgrading from 2.2.32 to 2.2.36. The original poster (who also narrowed it down to something in 2.2.34) mentioned a workaround that does indeed work, namely setting mailbox_list_index=no: > doveadm -o 'mailbox_list_index=no' quota recalc -u myuser I've been staring at diffs of 2.2.33 and 2.2.34 without anything jumping out at me (not a C guy, sadly). Maybe src/lib-storage/index/index-storage.c or src/lib-storage/list/mailbox-list-fs-iter.c or src/lib-storage/list/mailbox-list-index-iter.c or src/lib-storage/list/mailbox-list-index.c? The latter few have some added strcmp's against "INBOX". Then again, there's a lot of new code in the diffs under src/lib-storage that references INBOX specifically.

Dovecot replication and userdb "noreplicate".
by Reio Remma 07 Aug '19

07 Aug '19

Hello! I finally took the time and spent two days to set up replication for my server and now I have a question or two. I initially set noreplicate userdb field to 1 for all but a test user, but I could still see in the logs that all mailboxes were trying to connect to the other server via SSH. Is that normal? Jun 22 16:55:22 host dovecot: dsync-local(user(a)host.ee)<>: Error: Remote command returned error 84: ssh -i /home/vmail/.ssh/vmail.pem -l vmail backup.host.ee doveadm dsync-server -D -u user(a)host.ee Then I ended up setting mail_replica in userdb for only my test user, but I could still see in the logs that it was trying to sync the others as well, despite mail_replica being 0 for the rest. Jun 22 20:52:59 host dovecot: doveadm(user(a)host.ee): Fatal: -N parameter requires syncing with remote host I also notice (and read from recent posts) that sieve script replication doesn't work at all. Dovecot v2.3.6 and Pigeonhole from the official Dovecot CentOS repo. Thanks, Reio PS: Getting SSH for Dovecot to work with SELinux on CentOS 7 was fun as usual. :)

I am thinking they are harmless but they are generating a bunch of noise in the logs and if harmless, I would like to silence them. Can someone let me know what causes this and if I should be concerned about this? My Google foo has not been helpful on this. Regards, -- Tom me(a)tdiehl.org
