Deleted mail reappearing
by John S 04 Sep '20

04 Sep '20

Recently I upgraded dovecot quite a few major versions. Since then some mailboxes are experiencing deleted mail reappearing. It seems to be happening roughly once a day, but not for every mail client or mailbox, I have at least two clients with this issue: Thunderbird and Outlook. Storage is local under two partitions, one as alternative storage. # 2.3.7.2 (3c910f64b): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.5.7.2 () # OS: Linux 5.4.0-29-generic x86_64 Ubuntu 20.04 LTS ext4 auth_mechanisms = plain login digest-md5 base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/ default_client_limit = 4000 default_vsz_limit = 512 M dict { expire = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext quota = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext } disable_plaintext_auth = no lda_mailbox_autocreate = yes log_timestamp = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S " mail_location = mdbox:/home/vmail/%d/%n mail_max_userip_connections = 240 mail_plugins = quota mail_privileged_group = mail mdbox_rotate_size = 64 M namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = separator = . } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf driver = sql } plugin { quota = dict:user_quota::proxy:/var/run/dovecot/dict:quota quota_warning = storage=95%% quota-warning 95 %u quota_warning2 = storage=80%% quota-warning 80 %u sieve = file:~/sieve;active=~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve sieve_global_dir = /etc/dovecot/sieve/ } protocols = imap pop3 service anvil { client_limit = 2615 } service auth { client_limit = 5536 unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-master { group = root mode = 0600 user = vmail } } service dict { unix_listener dict { mode = 0600 user = vmail } } service imap-login { client_limit = 2115 executable = /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login inet_listener imap { address = * port = 143 } inet_listener imaps { address = * port = 993 } process_limit = 2000 } service imap { executable = /usr/lib/dovecot/imap process_limit = 2000 } service pop3-login { client_limit = 1024 executable = /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-login inet_listener pop3 { address = * port = 110 } inet_listener pop3s { address = * port = 995 } process_limit = 512 } service pop3 { executable = /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 } service stats { unix_listener stats-reader { group = vmail mode = 0660 user = vmail } unix_listener stats-writer { group = vmail mode = 0660 user = vmail } } ssl_cert = < /etc/dovecot/ssl/crt.pem ssl_cipher_list = ALL:!LOW:!SSLv2:!EXP:!aNULL ssl_client_ca_dir = /etc/ssl/certs ssl_dh = # hidden, use -P to show it ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it ssl_prefer_server_ciphers = yes syslog_facility = local0 userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf driver = sql } protocol imap { imap_max_line_length = 64 k mail_plugins = quota imap_quota } protocol pop3 { mail_plugins = quota pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv } protocol lda { auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mail_plugins = quota sieve postmaster_address = postmaster@localhost sendmail_path = /usr/lib/sendmail } dovecot-sql.conf: driver = mysql connect = host=127.0.0.1 dbname=mail user=mail password=#### password_query = SELECT IF('%m' = 'DIGEST-MD5', users.password_digest_md5, NULL) as password, IF('%m' = 'DIGEST-MD5', NULL, 'Y') as nopassword, username FROM users LEFT JOIN domains ON users.domain = domains.domain WHERE users.username = '%u' AND users.domain = '%d' AND users.active = 'yes' AND domains.state = '1' AND ((users.password = encrypt('%w', LEFT(users.password, 11)) AND ('%m' = 'PLAIN' OR '%m' = 'LOGIN')) OR ('%m' = 'DIGEST-MD5')) user_query = SELECT maildir as home, uid, gid, CONCAT(CONCAT(type, ':', maildir), ':ALT=/home/altmail/%d/%n') AS mail FROM users LEFT JOIN domains ON users.domain = domains.domain WHERE users.username = '%u' AND domains.state = '1' iterate_query = SELECT SUBSTRING_INDEX(email, '@', 1) AS username, domain FROM users;

Sieve: deleteheader now working with duplicate filter for implicit keep
by Alec Moskvin 04 Sep '20

04 Sep '20

Hello, I have a rule to always delete a header. If the message gets fileinto'd, the header is gone, but if it's delivered into the INBOX through implicit keep, the header does not get deleted. Interestingly, if I remove the "if duplicate" filter, the header does get deleted as expected. I'm using the latest Dovecot 2.3.11.3 / Pigeonhole 0.5.11. Any idea why this is happening? Thanks, Alec === Sieve filter require ["fileinto", "editheader", "duplicate", "mailbox"]; deleteheader "X-Bad-Header"; if duplicate { fileinto :create "Trash"; stop; } if header :matches "subject" "*filter*" { fileinto :create "Filtered"; } === Example (note ${RANDOM} to bypass duplicate filter) $ /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver << -end- To: me(a)example.com From: someone(a)example.com Subject: Test Message Message-Id: <${RANDOM}(a)example.net> Date: Thu, 20 Aug 2020 00:21:24 +0000 (UTC) X-Bad-Header: DELETE ME Hello world -end-

Moving Spam to Junk Folder
by bobby 03 Sep '20

03 Sep '20

I am following this tutorial: https://www.linuxbabe.com/redhat/spamassassin-centos-rhel-block-email-spam. I followed the steps in "Move Spam into the Junk Folder". When I send an email from a blacklisted e-mail address, I get a bounce e-mail from my e-mail server. Here is what is in my spamass-milter file: EXTRA_FLAGS="-m -r 8 -R NO_SPAM -i 127.0.0.1 -g sa-milt -- --max-size=5120000" I would prefer it to go into my Junk folder. How can I make this happen?

Fwd: zlib errors after upgrading to 2.3.11.3
by Robert Nowotny 03 Sep '20

03 Sep '20

Dear Aki, I switched to "gz" now, since "zstd" also gave some errors on writing to files. I dont know if "xz" compression or "zstd" shreddered my MDBOX Files, but I lost 4 days of mail. (a couple of thousand mails). After restoring the backup (what was made after switching to version 2.3.11.3) I still have some broken mdfiles, but not too many. Interestingly always in the "Sent" Mailbox on a number of Users. I just can not go back to 20.08.2020 before I updated to 2.3.11.3 - too many emails would have been lost. So - the current status is 2.3.11.3, with "gz" compression. I force-synced and re-indexed all the mdbox files (250 GB), but still have some broken - please how can I fix those ? You stated : (In theory you could leave the existing mails xz-compressed, but best would be to re-compress everything via dsync so old mails can be read when we eventually remove xz support.) what is the optimal way to do that, expecially not loosing the index (?) for outlook/thunderbird, for third party tools that rely on some index/hash (dunno how exactly that works) ?

Is this a bug in Exim or is Dovecot being too strict? Thanks, Alec [1] https://github.com/dovecot/core/blob/2.3.11.3/src/lib-smtp/smtp-syntax.c#L2…

submission message quota
by Gerry 03 Sep '20

03 Sep '20

Hello, I am trying to come up with a way to have individual quotas per user for the submission service. Similar to what I could achieve with Postfix and policyd. More specifically, the quota I am most interested in, is limiting the number of messages a single account can send within a given timeframe. Ideally, I'd also like to limit the number of total recipients within a given timeframe, to mitigate the loophole of adding multiple recipients to a single message. Example: account Y is allowed to send 500 messages per 60 minutes, with a maximum of 2000 recipients overall. What would be the best path to take? Thanks! Gerry

Metric label values truncated when using OpenMetrics endpoint
by Daan van Gorkum 02 Sep '20

02 Sep '20

Hi, Recently we upgraded to Dovecot 2.3.11.3 and configured an example metric like this: metric imap_command { event_name = imap_command_finished group_by = cmd_name tagged_reply_state user remote_ip } And enabled the OpenMetrics listener like this: service stats { inet_listener http { port = 5000 } } While the result is great, I noticed that some metrics are being truncated (three dots at the end of the label value): dovecot_imap_command_duration_usecs_sum{cmd_name="FETCH",tagged_reply_state="OK",user="xxxxxxxxxxx.inbox@xxxxxxxxxxxxx…",remote_ip="XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:cc6b:cc7a:d…"} 2346 1598055662473 I couldn't find this information in the documentation so I'm wondering if this is a bug. Thank you for your time. Regards, Daan
