Support of "extlists" in sieve filters
by Marcin Bajer 04 Apr '22

04 Apr '22

Hi all, Don’t really know if this is sth. to post on this forum, but I tried to make a sieve filter which tags mails from my contacts by the category of the contact. Seems this feature is available in Protonmail: https://protonmail.com/support/knowledge-base/sieve-advanced-custom-filters/ require [“fileinto”, “extlists”]; Checks that the sender is in your personal address book if header :list “from” “:addrbook:personal?label=Family” { fileinto “Known”; } Would it be possible to implement such feature also in dovecot? BR, Marcin

Replication issues with 2.3.18 - Replication fails after xxx folders reached.
by Paul Kudla (SCOM.CA Internet) 02 Apr '22

02 Apr '22

please appreciate that i am trying to help .... after much testing i can now reporduce the replication issues at hand I am running on freebsd 12 & 13 stable (both test and production servers) sdram drives etc ... Basically replication works fine until reaching a folder quantity of ~ 256 or more to reproduce using doveadm i created folders like INBOX/folder-0 INBOX/folder-1 INBOX/folder-2 INBOX/folder-3 and so forth ...... I created 200 folders and they replicated ok on both servers I created another 200 (400 total) and the replicator got stuck and would not update the mbox on the alternate server anymore and is still updating 4 days later ? basically replicator goes so far and either hangs or more likely bails on an error that is not reported to the debug reporting ? however dsync will sync the two servers but only when run manually (ie all the folders will sync) I have two test servers avaliable if you need any kind of access - again here to help. [07:28:42] mail18.scom.ca [root:0] ~ # sync.status Queued 'sync' requests 0 Queued 'high' requests 6 Queued 'low' requests 0 Queued 'failed' requests 0 Queued 'full resync' requests 0 Waiting 'failed' requests 0 Total number of known users 255 username type status paul(a)scom.ca normal Waiting for dsync to finish keith(a)elirpa.com incremental Waiting for dsync to finish ed.hanna(a)dssmgmt.com incremental Waiting for dsync to finish ed(a)scom.ca incremental Waiting for dsync to finish nick(a)elirpa.com incremental Waiting for dsync to finish paul(a)paulkudla.net incremental Waiting for dsync to finish i have been going through the c code and it seems the replication gets requested ok replicator.db does get updated ok with the replicated request for the mbox in question. however i am still looking for the actual replicator function in the lib's that do the actual replication requests the number of folders & subfolders is defanately the issue - not the mbox pyhsical size as thought origionally. if someone can point me in the right direction, it seems either the replicator is not picking up on the number of folders to replicat properly or it has a hard set limit like 256 / 512 / 65535 etc and stops the replication request thereafter. I am mainly a machine code programmer from the 80's and have concentrated on python as of late, 'c' i am starting to go through just to give you a background on my talents. It took 2 months to finger this out. this issue also seems to be indirectly causing the duplicate messages supression not to work as well. python programming to reproduce issue (loops are for last run started @ 200 - fyi) : # cat mbox.gen #!/usr/local/bin/python2 import os,sys from lib import * user = 'paul(a)paulkudla.net' """ for count in range (0,600) : box = 'INBOX/folder-%s' %count print count command = '/usr/local/bin/doveadm mailbox create -s -u %s %s' %(user,box) print command a = commands.getoutput(command) print a """ for count in range (0,600) : box = 'INBOX/folder-0/sub-%' %count print count command = '/usr/local/bin/doveadm mailbox create -s -u %s %s' %(user,box) print command a = commands.getoutput(command) print a #sys.exit()

falsely log "auth: unknown user" when multiple userdb
by Anthony Panko 01 Apr '22

01 Apr '22

Hello, When there is a multiple userdb to look for user, Dovecot log «auth: unknown user» when the first userdb search failed. Then Dovecot successfully search user in the second userdb and things works. But "auth: unknown user" event left in a logs. Logs look like this: Apr 1 12:38:48 mail dovecot[75384]: lmtp(75397): Connect from 127.0.5.1 Apr 1 12:38:48 mail dovecot[75384]: auth: ldap(order(a)XXX,127.0.5.1): unknown user Apr 1 12:38:48 mail dovecot[75384]: lmtp(order)<75397><D8m2HCjIRmKFJgEAABdyCg>: msgid=<157609214.20220331172309@YYY>: saved mail to INBOX Debug show failed search in the first userdb and successfull search in the second userdb. When user found in the first userdb «unknown user» event does not appear. Configuration is: userdb { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/udb-ldap-personal.conf driver = ldap override_fields = home=/mnt/mboxes/personal/%n } userdb { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/udb-ldap-general.conf driver = ldap override_fields = home=/mnt/mboxes/general/%n } Dovecot verision is 2.3.16 (7e2e900c1a). -- Best regards, Anthony Pankov
