I'm trying to configure TLS for Dovecot 2.3 but after setting all things up I'm not able to start Dovecot: Apr 16 20:56:02 master: Info: Dovecot v2.3.9.3 (9f41b88fa) starting up for imap, pop3, lmtp (core dumps disabled) Apr 16 20:56:25 auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/auth Apr 16 20:56:25 auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/auth/lib20_auth_var_expand_crypt.so Apr 16 20:56:25 auth: Debug: Read auth token secret from /usr/var/run/dovecot/auth-token-secret.dat Apr 16 20:56:25 auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=30750) Apr 16 20:56:25 imap-login: Error: Failed to initialize SSL server context: Can't load SSL private key: Key is for a different cert than ssl_cert: user=<>, rip=::1, lip=::1, secured, session=<JKh/qm6j/rMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB> Apr 16 20:56:25 imap-login: Info: Disconnected: TLS initialization failed.

How to specify pattern for share folder using ACL vfile
by Adam Raszkiewicz 15 Apr '20

15 Apr '20

My `90-acl.conf` file looks like: plugin { #acl = vfile:/etc/dovecot/global-acls:cache_secs=300 #acl = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext acl = vfile } # To let users LIST mailboxes shared by other users, Dovecot needs a # shared mailbox dictionary. For example: plugin { #acl_shared_dict = file:/var/lib/dovecot/shared-mailboxes acl_shared_dict = proxy::acl } When ACLs were set for particular mailbox I can see that dovecot-acl file were created but I have no idea how to specify a pattern for shared folder like is in the `dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext` map { pattern = shared/shared-boxes/user/$to/$from table = user_shares value_field = dummy fields { from_user = $from to_user = $to } } My goal is to control how it appears on the client site. As for now is as `shared/user@domain/folder/` but I have no idea where it is defined. Thanks, Adam

Hi! metrics.dovecot.org will be removed by end of April. It's not really used that much and it's not compatible with new style metrics. --- Aki Tuomi Open-Xchange oy

got a listener on 993
by David Mehler 15 Apr '20

15 Apr '20

Hello, Before I get in to my question is ssl on 993 or starttls on 143 better from a security perspective? I've noticed that I've got a dovecot listener on port 993, below is my doveconf -n output I don't have an imaps listener uncommented should I do so and set it's port to 0? Will that disable the 993 listener? Thanks.

Variable expansion in password field
by Simone Lazzaris 14 Apr '20

14 Apr '20

Hi list! I've recently updated a small dovecot cluster from 2.2.29 to 2.3.10. I've found an issue with variable expansion. My user/password database is on a mysql table, with password saved in plain text field. The cluster receives mail via lmpt and users fetch them via imap. On the 2.2.29 version, no issues. After the upgrade, I've found some lines in the log: Apr 14 14:36:05 archive-front1 dovecot: lmtp(19671, fakeusername(a)fakedomain.com) Error: lmtp-server: conn 212.183.164.212:34642 [4]: rcpt fakeusername(a)fakedomain.com: Failed to initialize user: Failed to expand plugin setting password = 'sd78F6aS9%Lggxf': Unknown variable '%g' (I've faked /some/ information for obvious reasons, but I've kept the password after the '%' sign). Apparently, dovecot 2.3.10 is trying to expand some variables IN the password field. I'm trying to fool him expanding the '%' into '%%' on the password query, but without luck... I can also contact the user and make him choose a different password, without '%'. Anyway, I feel that this behaviour should be seen as a bug. Am I missing something? -- Simone Lazzaris QCom SpA

%d ignored from auth-passwdfile.conf.ext configuration file
by Andrei Petru Mura 13 Apr '20

13 Apr '20

I try to configure dovecot with virtual users. I put my users file in folder /etc/dovecot/my_domain_name/users. My auth-passwdfile.conf.ext file looks like this: passdb { driver = passwd-file args = username_format=%n /etc/dovecot/%d/users } When I try to log in, I get this: dovecot: auth: Error: passwd-file(test,some.ip.addr.here,<rQT+ziijGE1tpoAB>): stat(/etc/dovecot//users) failed: No such file or directory As you can see, %d isn't interpreted. Why is this happening? Any hints? Thanks, Mura Andrei

Missing permissions

13 Apr '20

Hi, Dovecot version 2.2.36 In log files I get this error: dovecot: imap(test): Namespace '': mkdir(/home/mail/domain/test/Maildir) failed: Permission denied (euid=1005(vmail) egid=1005(vmail) missing +w perm: /home/mail/domain, UNIX perms appear ok (ACL/MAC wrong?)) My authentication configuration is this: passdb { driver = passwd-file args = username_format=%n /etc/dovecot/users } userdb { driver = static args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/home/mail/domain/%n username_format=%n /etc/dovecot/users } /home/mail/domain/test directory is owned by vmail user. How to fix this? Mura Andrei

doveadm backup from gmail with imapc

I have also enabled "allow access from unsecure apps" in my gmail settings. My first thought looking at the error messages was has that perhaps doveadm-backup was trying to connect with ssl3, which is no longer supported by gmail or anyone else nowadays. But apparently the ssl3_read_bytes function in openssl also handles tls, so the reference to ssl3 in the message is misleading, and the real problem must be elsewhere. If anyone can help me debug this I'd be grateful.
