doveadm backup only working once?

All, For the past 2 weeks I have been trying to get dovecot mail backup working between 2 debian 10 machines. Both machines are running the same OS (Debian 10) and configuration wise they are similar (except of course ip addresses, hostnames etc). My "main" machine is called "server" and the 2nd machine is "server2". See below for the dovecot -n output on server2. I created a testuser called synctest on both server1 and server2 and have sent a couple (2) email messages to synctest@server. Those testmessages are now present in /var/mail/synctest mbox file on server1. When trying to create a backup from server->server2 for user synctest I use this command: #doveadm -D -v backup -R -f -u synctest tcp:192.168.3.1:12345 (using something similar from server1 -> server2 like this: #doveadm -D -v backup -f -u synctest tcp:192.168.3.2:12345 has the same results btw) The first attempte appears to be working OK but the the 2nd attempt (nothing was changed on server1 before the 2nd attempt) fails with soemthing like: Error: Couldn't delete mailbox INBOX: Permission denied Before I can get a succesfull backup again I need to do this (on server2): #rm /var/mail/synctest #rm -r ~syncuser/mail/index/INBOX #doveadm mailbox delete -u synctest INBOX (if I don't do the rm /var/mail/synctest before the doveadm mailbox delete command I will also get a: Error: Can't delete mailbox INBOX: Permission denied Anybody any idea what is happening here? Should I enable replicator and/or aggregator? Output of 1st and 2nd dovadm backup attempt is below: root@server2:/home/synctest/mail# doveadm -D -v backup -R -f -u synctest tcp:192.168.3.1:12345 Debug: Loading modules from directory:

Pigeonhole v0.5.13 build fails on OS X 10.11.6
by Steve Akerman 06 Jan '21

06 Jan '21

Hi, Dovecot 2.3.13 builds successfully on this old OS X, but pigeonhole v0.5.13fails as below: gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../.. -I/usr/local/include/dovecot -I../.. -I../../src/lib-managesieve -fPIE -DPIE -std=gnu99 -g -O2 -Wall -W -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wpointer-arith -Wchar-subscripts -Wformat=2 -Wbad-function-cast -Wno-duplicate-decl-specifier -Wstrict-aliasing=2 -fstack-protector-strong -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -I../.. -MT managesieve_login-client.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/managesieve_login-client.Tpo -c -o managesieve_login-client.o `test -f 'client.c' || echo './'`client.c In file included from client.c:23: ./managesieve-proxy.h:8:15: warning: declaration of 'enum login_proxy_failure_type' will not be visible outside of this function [-Wvisibility] enum login_proxy_failure_type type, ^ client.c:518:3: error: field designator 'proxy_failed' does not refer to any field in type 'struct client_vfuncs' .proxy_failed = managesieve_proxy_failed, ^ 1 warning and 1 error generated. make: *** [managesieve_login-client.o] Error 1 This appears to be related to the change from manage sieve_proxy_ error to manage sieve_proxy_failed. Pigeonhole v0.5.11 builds without problem on the same machine. The warning appears to be related to the lack of a declaration, but I am no expert. The error I have no idea!!! Is this related to my old compiler, or is there an issue here? Can anyone propose a workaround, as I would like to use Dovecot 2.3.13, but will get version mismatch errors if I do not upgrade pigeonhole. Thanks in advance

Hi! Since Ubuntu 20.04 LTS is nowadays available, we have dropped 16.04 support from 2.3.13 as per policy of supporting two latest releases of operating system. Dovecot 2.3.11.3 is latest version we provide packages for 16.04. Please find Ubuntu 20.04 packages at https://repo.dovecot.org/ Kind regards, Aki Tuomi Open-Xchange oy

Dovecot Folder and file permissions.
by Thomas Strike 06 Jan '21

06 Jan '21

While working with adding a website to apache on my server something caused a blanket resetting of all file permissions on the server to apache:apache. I have most of the server running again but my mail services is another story. I have configured vmail on a Postfix with Dovecot and mariadb install. What I need is help with reestablishing the correct file and folder permissions that dovecot uses. The following is my configuration; # OS: Linux 4.18.0-147.3.1.el8_1.x86_64 x86_64 CentOS Linux release 8.1.1911 (Core) xfs # Dovecot version# 2.2.36 (1f10bfa63) # Hostname: sleepyvalley auth_mechanisms = plain login mail_home = /var/vmail/%d/%n mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%n mail_privileged_group = mail mail_uid = vmail mbox_write_locks = fcntl namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } passdb { args = scheme=CRAM-MD5 username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/users driver = passwd-file } postmaster_address = postmaster(a)sleepyvalley.net service auth-worker { user = vmail } service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { mode = 0666 } unix_listener auth-userdb { mode = 0666 user = vmail } } service lmtp { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { group = postfix mode = 0666 user = postfix } } ssl_cert = </etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.sleepyvalley.net/fullchain.pem ssl_cipher_list = PROFILE=SYSTEM ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } userdb { args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/home/vmail/%d/%n driver = static } I really need help with this, thanks.

set up for Dovecot redundancy -- store on edge server only if link to backofc server is down, otherwise deliver to final dest?
by PGNet Dev 04 Jan '21

04 Jan '21

I run Postfix + Dovecot. Currently, I've got a cloud-instance of Postfix that handles all the anti-spam/auth/routing. On successful 'pass', it resends email -- over a VPN link -- to a *local* Postfix instance, which then LMTP-delivers to a Dovecot instance on the same box. Works great. I'd like to set up some IMAP redundancy, so that if the VPN link is down for any reason, mail is stored/accessible, and -- eventually -- correctly (re)delivered to the local Dovecot instance when the link's up again. The goal state I'm considering looks like: @cloud Postfix LMTP delivery from Postfix to "Dovecot1" @local LMTP (re)delivery from "Dovecot1", @cloud, to "Dovecot2" IDEALLY, no IMAP mail should ever be persistently stored on the @cloud Dovecot instance -- unless the VPN link is down. Then, when the VPN link is up again, the @cloud-stored IMAP mail should me 'moved' to the @local instance. I.e., I do _not_ want a replicated store. My question is how transparent/automated can this be done? I'd guess that somewhere in Dovecot's config I need logic that provides the conditional delivery to just @cloud vs 'all the way' to @local ... Any suggestions as to how to put this VPN-conditional redundancy in place?

CVE-2020-25275: MIME parsing crashes with particular messages
by Aki Tuomi 04 Jan '21

04 Jan '21

Open-Xchange Security Advisory 2021-01-04 Product: Dovecot Vendor: OX Software GmbH Internal reference: DOV-4113 (Bug ID) Vulnerability type: CWE-20: Improper Input Validation Vulnerable version: 2.3.11-2.3.11.3 Vulnerable component: lda, lmtp, imap Report confidence: Confirmed Solution status: Fixed by Vendor Fixed version: 2.3.13 Vendor notification: 2020-09-10 Solution date: 2020-09-14 Public disclosure: 2021-01-04 CVE reference: CVE-2020-25275 CVSS: 5.3 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L) Researcher credit: Innokentii Sennovskiy (Rumata888) from BI.ZONE Vulnerability Details: Mail delivery / parsing crashed when the 10 000th MIME part was message/rfc822 (or if parent was multipart/digest). This happened due to earlier MIME parsing changes for CVE-2020-12100. Risk: Malicious sender can crash dovecot repeatedly by sending / uploading message with more than 10 000 MIME parts. Workaround: These are usually dropped by MTA, where the mitigation can also be applied. Solution: Operators should update to 2.3.13 or later version.
