Corrupted sizes using zlib plugin
by Tim Evers 06 Mar '23

Hi, since I did not get any feedback on my bug report post regarding corrupted sizes while using zlib (https://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2023-February/126105.html) I would like to confirm that this bug report reached someone in charge. Or if not - I would kindly ask for directions on how to post it in a way that spawns some action. Thx Tim

Setting up the mail-crypt plugin with virtual accounts that have no home directories
by Jeremy 05 Mar '23

05 Mar '23

Hi again, I am using dovecot 2.3.16, along with postfix and a PostgreSQL database for managing virtual accounts. After an initial topic from me about encrypting already existent mail, I could now use some pointers on how to set up the mail-crypt plugin for pure virtual accounts (i.e. that have no matching system users and/or home directories. I hope somebody can clarify a few things that are not entirely clear to me yet. After doing my own research, I believe the following should be possible: I'd like to use the password of virtual email accounts to let dovecot encrypt/decrypt the keys needed to encrypt/decrypt the mail in the relevant folders. As per the documentation @ https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/mail_crypt_plugin/ I believe this would be all the configuration I need: # Config mail_attribute_dict = file:%h/Maildir/dovecot-attributes mail_plugins = $mail_plugins mail_crypt plugin { mail_crypt_curve = secp521r1 # or some other preferred curve mail_crypt_save_version = 2 mail_crypt_require_encrypted_user_key = yes # necessary for encrypting keys with user password } # File: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext password_query = SELECT \ email as user, password, \ '%w' AS userdb_mail_crypt_private_password \ FROM virtual_users WHERE email='%u'; My first question is: Is it possible to configure mail_attribute_dict in such a way as to not use home directories. Since I only use virtual accounts, without those accounts having home directories, can I somehow tell dovecot to save the attributes into the PostsreSQL database, for instance? If not, can you suggest another approach, without having to create home directories for virtual users? My second question is: The documentation warns about not using password directly in the above SQL query: > Choosing encryption key > DO NOT use password directly. It can contain % which is interpreted as > variable expansion and can cause errors. Does this refer to not accidentally substituting '%w' with password? In other words, if I leave the above query as is, should I be good, even if plain text passwords of users potentially have % signs in them? Or would I need to take further measurements? (The passwords in my database are already hashed, by the way). I hope somebody can offer some guidance on this. Thanks.

Multiple scripts with postlogin
by Dan Conway 03 Mar '23

03 Mar '23

Hello, I'm having trouble understanding how to execute separate scripts with postlogin. According to the documentation, it should be as simple as: You can run multiple post-login scripts by just giving multiple scripts as parameters to|script-login|, for example: executable = script-login rawlog /usr/local/bin/postlogin.sh /usr/local/bin/postlogin2.sh Given this information, I supplied two scripts to service imap-postlogin below: service imap { executable = imap imap-postlogin } service imap-postlogin { executable = script-login -d rawlog /usr/local/bin/postlogin.pl /usr/local/bin/postlogin2.pl user = $default_internal_user unix_listener imap-postlogin { } } Both scripts simply print "Script 1" and "Script 2" to STDERR. Here is what they look like: #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; print STDERR "Script 1\n"; system("/usr/lib/dovecot/script-login"); After logging in, only the first script is executed. The second one is ignored. I tried not executing "/usr/lib/dovecot/script-login" in the first script, in hopes that it would execute the second script, but it only denies the connection after printing "Script 1" imap-postlogin: Error: Script 1 imap(<user>): Error: Post-login script denied access to user <user> Am I missing something? Thanks.

OAuth2: local validation with RFC9068 tokens
by Tomas Habarta 01 Mar '23

01 Mar '23

Hello, my IdP is kind of progressive and implemented RFC9068, where all access tokens now come with typ "at+JWT". Since the setup has used local validation, I had to switch and currently use introspection endpoint. Looked around at the src and there seems to be relatively simple check of the token typ checking the only fixed value of "JWT" -- do you think you could consider tuning it a little bit so that local validation works also with such tokens? I am not an expert on OAuth2 so have no idea whether this is a valid request, but think that such a token is still JWT but has the required structure per RFC, which should not anyhow be in collision with a simple "JWT" typ. Saying that, I would not wonder if the statement is not correct :) Many thanks, Tomas

Can't receive mail before connecting with mutt and sending mail
by efeizbudak 01 Mar '23

01 Mar '23

Hi everyone, I've recently set up an email server. I also have mail crypt plugin and the users are set up through pam. The problem is that whenever I set up a new user, it can send mail but not receive it until the account is connected with mutt and at least one mail is sent. I've noticed that the mail_attribute_dict file is also not set up before doing this. One peculiar thing about all this is that if an account is connected through the stock android email app, the same "send email to get email" trick does not work. How can I debug this? Thank you! -- All the best, Efe The funny quote of this email is trivial and left as an exercise.
