Sieve Filters with MySQL
by Adam Miller 24 Jul '24

24 Jul '24

Me again! I am trying to get sieve filters working with a MySQL backend but same to be coming up short. Right now, the error I am getting received is: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "User has no active script in storage dict:proxy::sieve;user=username@domain.com" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The “username(a)domain.xn--com-9o0a is obviously the email address of the receiving mailbox.

When I run manually queries, everything works fine though I am not entirely sure what the queries are that Dovecot is executing. Any help is appreciated! Also, if I could use the “isActive” field, that would be great as well. My plan to start here is to only have one record in the table per mailbox which would contain all Sieve filters. Eventually, it would be nice if I could adjust the configuration to allow for more than one that returns concatenated so any help there would be great as well! Thank you!

Key metrics to monitor for dovecot at CloudWatch
by Sivakumar Vadivel 24 Jul '24

24 Jul '24

Hello Team, Configured dovecot mail server and SES will receive and forward to SNS topic. Lambda subscribed to the topic and it will receive the mail and write to the EFS volume. EFS volume mounted on both dovecot and lambda. Also enabled AWS Cloudwatch to monitor overall infra. I'm going to enable anomaly detection at Cloudwatch and I want to know the list of key metrics to monitor. I'm thinking of the following metrics. 1. No of bounce 2. PublishFailed & Success 3. EFS disk storage Please suggest the other key metrics, so that I can enable anomaly detection to understand and create the cloudwatch alarm.

Dovecot Stats Plugin

23 Jul '24

Hello again everyone! I am trying to get the “doveadm stats dump” command to work and even though it does not error, there are no stats.

Dovecot proxy/director/replicator upgrade path
by Andrea Gabellini 23 Jul '24

23 Jul '24

Hello, I manage a Dovecot installation version 2.3.4.1 with a pair of proxy/director in front and two backends that use the replicator plugin to synchronize emails between them. I would like to update all 4 machines and would like to understand if I can directly jump to the latest version 2.3.21 and if there is a logical sequence to follow, such as updating the backends first and then the frontends or vice versa.

Missing IMAP METADATA Plugin
by Adam Miller 20 Jul '24

20 Jul '24

OS: Ubuntu 22.04.1 Dovecot: 2.3.16 (7e2e900c1a) When trying to enable the “imap_metadata” plugin, I get the following error: Plugin 'imap_metadata' not found from directory /usr/lib/dovecot/modules I have searched high and low via Google, StackOverflow and even ChatGPT (haha) but I cannot seem to find the package that provides the plugin. Does Dovecot have to be built from source for this plugin to be included? Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

doveadm: SSL handshake failed - wrong version number
by Rachel Roch 19 Jul '24

19 Jul '24

When attempting a doveadm backup, e.g. : doveadm -D backup -Ru user tcp:foo.example.com:12345 I am getting the following error : Error: SSL handshake failed: SSL_accept() failed: error:0A00010B:SSL routines::wrong version number There is nothing wrong with my SSL config because, e.g. openssl s_client -connect localhost:993 works on the source host. So I don't know why doveadm doesn't work. My SSL config is: ssl = required ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/foo.example.com.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/foo.example.com.priv ssl_client_ca_dir = /etc/ssl/certs ssl_min_protocol = TLSv1.2 ssl_prefer_server_ciphers = yes ssl_cipher_list = ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305:ECDHE-RSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305:DHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:DHE-RSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305 service doveadm { inet_listener { port = 12345 ssl = yes } }
