IMAP ALERT on reason/nologin
by Pedro Ribeiro 22 Jul '20

22 Jul '20

Hello everyone, Some dovecot versions (years!) ago. I've made a rather complicated SQL query that verified some conditions during the SQL passdb checking and returned the usual parameters or "nologin" field signalling some account problem and a text on the "reason" field that were shown to the user telling him the reason of being rejected the login. Common "reasons" are blocked accounts, suspected brute-force to the user account, historic problems from his IP address, etc. In the current versions I've found that despite the attributes being set by the SQL query, dovecot no longer seems to signal that to the client application and it ends with some generic "wrong password" causing a lot of confusion and user complains. I can't find any reference to that (nologin/reason) logic in the current Dovecot documentation. Is this feature deprecated/removed? Were that logic changed and documented elsewhere? regards! stay safe!

ports with different crypto settings
by Leonardo Rodrigues 21 Jul '20

21 Jul '20

Hello Everyone, Is it possible, with latest dovecot, to have different crypto settings on different pop/imap ports? Basically i'm looking to have one port with TLSv1 enabled, which will be exposed to internal networks only, and other ports with TLSv1.2+ only, which will be exposed to the external networks. The internal one will likely be running on a different port and traffic will be redirected to it via iptables, so user doesn't need to care about it. Is that possible? I haven't found anything similar on the documentations, it seems to me that crypto settings are global ... -- Atenciosamente / Sincerily, Leonardo Rodrigues Solutti Tecnologia http://www.solutti.com.br Minha armadilha de SPAM, NÃO mandem email gertrudes(a)solutti.com.br My SPAMTRAP, do not email it

Sieve and OX push_notification_drive seem to not work together
by Ralf Becker 21 Jul '20

21 Jul '20

While it's documented that the OX push_notification_driver only supports MessageNew events, it does NOT generate any event if a Sieve script moves the message on arrival to an other folder, neither in INBOX were it original arrives by LMTP, nor in the folder Sieve moves the message. Is that a misconfiguration on my side, or a know / desired limitation or just a bug? I use LMTP to deliver mails from Postfix to Dovecot: protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins notify push_notification } Does eg. the same need to be configured somehow for the Sieve plugin?

Questions about Dovecot push notifications
by Ralf Becker 21 Jul '20

21 Jul '20

I read the docu available under: https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/push_notification/ I'm using Dovecot 2.2.36.4 with directors and a replicating pair of backends using a custom dict with proxy protocol for user- and passdb plus a userdb using sqlite for backup. I understand 2.2 only allows to notify about new arriving mails, not eg. flag-changes which would require 2.3 with LUA. I want to use the ox notification driver with a http url (https seems to be 2.3 only). I read to enable push notifications on a mailbox I need: a) IMAP metadata enabled incl. a backend/driver to store the metadata b) enable push for the individual mailbox using a doveadm command (maybe also via IMAP, which would be easier in my case) My questions are: 1. can I set some static metadata via userdb to enable push for all mailboxes? 2. if no, does setting the metadata on one replicating backend replicates it to the other one too? 3. what purpose does the user=<something@else> argument in the doveadm command to enable push server: doveadm mailbox metadata set -u user(a)example.com -s "" /private/vendor/vendor.dovecot/http-notify user=11@3 Does it replace "user(a)example.com" in the push payload with <something@else>? 4. can I set the required metadata via IMAP command preferable with a (already configured) master user?

History mails are stored in the tmp/ directory
by lty 21 Jul '20

21 Jul '20

We found that there are historically corrupted mails in the tmp/ directory, For example, Maildir/tmp/ or Maildir/.Drafts/tmp/ exists. We suspect that it may be caused by network transmission, or the user interrupted the network link. Can the dovecot team possibly fix this problem? dovecot --version 2.2.36

submission proxy -- where to config/present client cert?
by PGNet Dev 20 Jul '20

20 Jul '20

I've a dovecot instance setup with submission proxy, protocols = imap lmtp submission sieve hostname = internal.mx.example.com submission_relay_host = internal.mx.example.com submission_relay_port = 465 submission_relay_trusted = yes submission_relay_ssl = smtps submission_relay_ssl_verify = yes service submission-login { inet_listener submission { address = 10.2.2.10, 127.0.0.1 port = 50465 ssl = yes } } protocol submission { ssl_cert = < /sec/vmail/mx.example.com.server.EC.crt.pem ssl_key = < /sec/vmail/mx.example.com.server.EC.key.pem ssl_verify_client_cert = no } It submits to a postfix instance, atm on the same host, [internal.mx.example.com]:465 inet n - n - - smtpd -o smtpd_tls_req_ccert=no with that setup, all works as expected. If I turn ON required client cert verification @ postfix, - -o smtpd_tls_req_ccert=no + -o smtpd_tls_req_ccert=yes with that add'l req't, postfix log reports "no client certificate presented" Jul 18 14:52:38 mx postfix/submit-from-dovecot/smtpd[37133]: connect from internal.mx.example.com[10.2.2.10] Jul 18 14:52:39 mx postfix/submit-from-dovecot/smtpd[37133]: Anonymous TLS connection established from internal.mx.example.com[10.2.2.10]: TLSv1.3 with cipher TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 (256/256 bits) key-exchange X25519 server-signature ECDSA (P-384) server-digest SHA384 Jul 18 14:52:39 mx postfix/submit-from-dovecot/smtpd[37133]: NOQUEUE: abort: TLS from internal.mx.example.com[10.2.2.10]: No client certificate presented Jul 18 14:53:09 mx postfix/submit-from-dovecot/smtpd[37133]: disconnect from internal.mx.example.com[10.2.2.10] commands=0/0 Clearly, I'm missing config. What in my dovecot submission config^^ do I need to change/add to get it to 'present' a client cert to the postfix relay for client cert verification?

Set mail to only display mail within 30 or 60 days
by lty 20 Jul '20

20 Jul '20

Set mail to only display mail within 30 or 60 days, Here are two examples. 1. normal E.g: A654 FETCH 2:4 (FLAGS BODY[HEADER.FIELDS (DATE FROM)]) * 2 FETCH (FLAGS (\Seen) BODY[HEADER.FIELDS (DATE FROM)] {73} Date: Tue, 07 May 2020 12:26:55 +0800 From: <test(a)www.chengmail.ml> ) * 3 FETCH (FLAGS (\Seen) BODY[HEADER.FIELDS (DATE FROM)] {62} Date: Tue, 07 May 2020 12:35:34 +0800 From: lty(a)cndns.com ) * 4 FETCH (FLAGS (\Seen) BODY[HEADER.FIELDS (DATE FROM)] {62} Date: Tue, 07 Jul 2020 17:41:53 +0800 From: lty(a)cndns.com ) A654 OK Fetch completed (0.002 + 0.000 + 0.001 secs). 2. Set to display mail within 30 days E.g: A654 FETCH 2:4 (FLAGS BODY[HEADER.FIELDS (DATE FROM)]) * 4 FETCH (FLAGS (\Seen) BODY[HEADER.FIELDS (DATE FROM)] {62} Date: Tue, 07 Jul 2020 17:41:53 +0800 From: lty(a)cndns.com ) A654 OK Fetch completed (0.002 + 0.000 + 0.001 secs). Is there any way to display the result of case 2? I found lua. https://doc.dovecot.org/admin_manual/lua/#mail-lua But I don't know how to edit the lua script, Are there more examples? I also watched the help, but it doesn't help much. https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/authentication/lua_based_authe… https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/push_notification/#lua-push-no… Can Lua fulfill my needs?

I need some help with my Dovecot and Postfix configs - I'm unable to log in on my mail server
by Nils 20 Jul '20

20 Jul '20

Hello, currently I'm working on my first mailserver but I can't log in to the account I made. For now my client (Mozlla Thunderbird) detects the server config (STARTTLS, Port, ...) but it is "Unable to log in at server. Probbly wrong configuration, username or passsword". I know that I added username and password correctly so there must something else be wrong. I run Debian 10 x64 on a fresh installation. Installed are: postfix, postfix-pcre, dovecot-core, dovecot-imapd and dovecot-pop3d. Dovecot is version 2.3.4.1, Postfix is 3.4.10.

Because of this a lot of my configurations is copied from an iRedMail installation. I know that taking these configs may cause some problems but I don't know where to change them or what else is wrong or missing. Thank you for any help!

Sieve and handling multiple addresses
by ＠lbutlr 19 Jul '20

19 Jul '20

I an trying to write a sieve action that will take mail that is addressed to a user only it is filed in a mailbox (e.g. "Direct") if it is to the email AND to any other email address, then file it in a mailbox named, e.g. "Cc". And if the mail is not addressed to the user at all, sieve does nothing with it. Message 1: to foo(a)example.com => Direct Message 2: to/cc foo(a)example.com & to/cc to anyone(a)anydomain.tlf => CC Optional: If it contains a specific header like "X-bypass: secret string" => no action Message 3: NOT to/cc foo(a)example.com => no action I've gotten exactly nowhere so far Something like if :allof (header :contains ["to"] ["foo#example.com"], header :contains ["cc"] ["foo#example.com"]) Takes care of the first part of the message 1 and 2 criteria. But then what? -- Was it everything you wanted to find? and did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there?
