lda_original_recipient_header for LMTP?
by dovecot＠ptld.com 26 Nov '24

26 Nov '24

How to get the X-Original-To: header added for LMTP? I tried adding: lda_original_recipient_header = X-Original-To But that didn't add the header for mail over LMTP. I couldn't find anything else in the docs.

Extended LIST not working
by tim＠linux-daus.de 25 Nov '24

25 Nov '24

Hi, i try to use extended LIST command but it doesn't work out. I wonder if there is any option necessary to enable it or some option that prevent using extended LIST commands (for example Courier compatible namespace config). I didn't find anything in the documentation. Did anyone notice a similar behavior? curl -u $IMAPUSER:$IMAPPW imaps://... -X 'STATUS INBOX (MESSAGES UNSEEN)' * STATUS INBOX (MESSAGES 105 UNSEEN 79) curl -u $IMAPUSER:$IMAPPW imaps://... -X 'LIST "" "INBOX" RETURN (STATUS (MESSAGES UNSEEN))' * LIST () "." INBOX Best regards, Tim

Authentication hangs on before SSL initialization
by Matt 22 Nov '24

22 Nov '24

I'm running into below probem; my ath is stuck on initializing SSL. Certificates are fine, cert-chain is tested and auth no further errors are shown. Comparing to the default configuration from the docs it's pretty the same and up-to-date so I'm curious what cloud cause this. Also CHMOD on files has been checked.

sharing sso between regular mail client and web applications
by Marc 20 Nov '24

20 Nov '24

I am testing a bit with sso with keycloak, I was wondering if/how it is possible that your logged in session between eg Thunderbird and dovecot can be used as a single sign on in webapplications. So as long as you have an active session with dovecot you can access all your web applications without the need to login.

Fatal: sql proxy::sqlite-proxy: Can't open configuration file
by Matt 14 Nov '24

14 Nov '24

Hi, I'm running into a problem where I'm not sure anymore if it's possible to proxy to an SQLite database file using a dict for authentication. The docs are unclear about it and I thought it was not possible as it's not a connection for SQLite but a file-read where the documentation shows different. ov 14 13:57:52 auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/auth Nov 14 13:57:52 auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/auth/lib20_auth_var_expand_crypt.so Nov 14 13:57:52 master: Error: service(auth): command startup failed, throttling for 4.000 secs Nov 14 13:57:52 auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/auth/libdriver_sqlite.so Nov 14 13:57:52 auth: Fatal: sql proxy::sqlite-proxy: Can't open configuration file proxy::sqlite-proxy: No such file or directory doveconf -n does show me the dict being loaded, the file exists as well but it still says not found. dict { sqlite-proxy = sqlite:/etc/dovecot/conf.d/dicts/sqlite/sqlite-connection.conf.ext } What am I missing here ? Thanks, Matt

openid / roundcube example
by Marc 14 Nov '24

14 Nov '24

Does anyone have a current config example using openid and with roundcube. I like to add this next to 'regular' logins'. I was able to login once but know I am getting these in the logs " No requests to service for this peer (1 connections exist, 0 pending)" I have added the 2 passdb with links to dovecot-oauth2.token.conf.ext from this manual[1], but it is not really clear if I need these and can just add a config file with openid_configuration_url [1] https://doc.dovecot.org/2.3/configuration_manual/authentication/oauth2/

2.3.21.1 and oauth
by v＠minakov.pro 14 Nov '24

14 Nov '24

Hello! I'm using dovecot with keycloak for oauth authentication. My config is: client_id = dovecot client_secret = MY_SECRET introspection_url = https://MY_KEYCLOAK/realms/master/protocol/openid-connect/token/introspect introspection_mode = post pass_attrs = pass=%{oauth2:access_token} Everything worked great on version 2.3.20. After upgrading to version 2.3.21.1 oauth stopped working with errors: auth: Debug: http-client: conn [::1]:443 [1]: Got 401 response for request [Req1: POST https://MY_KEYCLOAK/realms/master/protocol/openid-connect/token/introspect] Unauthorized (took 5 ms + >Aug 16 00:23:58 auth: Error: oauth2(MY_EMAIL,127.0.0.1,<HADwdb8f+PN/AAAB>): oauth2 failed: Introspection failed: No username returned I tried all combination of configurations, debugging and versions of keycloak. Seems something was broken in this version of dovecot.

Locking box for backups
by Steve Atkins 12 Nov '24

12 Nov '24

I’m running 2.3.19.1 on a system that isn’t set up to support filesystem snapshots. So I’d like to back up my mdbox mailboxes at a filesystem level (with rsync, or something equivalent). I’m assuming that to get a consistent backup I should lock the mailbox while I copy it. How should I acquire a (write) lock on an mdbox mailbox? Cheers, Steve
