Hi everyone, I am new to this forum and excited to be here. I'm interested in learning more about Dovecot and its features, and I'm eager to participate in the discussions here. Could someone please guide me on how to ask questions here ? Where should I post if I have a query ? Looking forward to your advice and connecting with you all. Thanks,

These are two distinct plugins. imap-zlib = compression of the IMAP protocol stream zlib = mailbox storage compression on the Dovecot server For 2.4, "zlib" plugin has been renamed to "mail-compress". https://doc.dovecot.org/2.4/core/plugins/mail_compress.html michael

[auth] epoll_ctl(add, 13) failed: Operation not permitted (fd doesn't support epoll)
by Alexander Vogt 05 Jul '24

05 Jul '24

Hi all, dovecot auth service is failing when using an inet_service. The configuration is essentially: service auth { inet_listener { address = * port = 12345 } unix_listener auth-userdb { group = vmail mode = 0666 user = vmail } } When I connect to port 12345 (real IMAP client or telnet doesn't make a difference), the auth service crashes.

dsync will be removed in 2.4 - why?
by Oliver Krone 05 Jul '24

05 Jul '24

Hi there, I recently learned that dsync (mail replication) functionality will be removed in the upcoming releases of dovecot. What is the reason and will there be a replacement? How can I synchronize my e-mails in the future? Thanks a lot. Regards Oliver

Is it possible to access cert_username and original_username the same time?
by bisteycsaba＠gmail.com 05 Jul '24

05 Jul '24

Hello all, If i use auth_ssl_username_from_cert dovecot gets its username from certificate, but seems like it also becomes %orig_user , if i do not use auth_ssl_username_from_cert cert_username completly unaccessable. Is there a way to access the original user supplied username when auth_ssl_username_from_cert is set or am i missed something and there is a variable for cert_username? What i would like to do is use username from cert to determine which email accounts a user with that cert has access to but for that i would both need access to cert_username and the username given by the user, but when username supplied from cert seems like the username supplied by the user no longer accessable, or i cant figure out how to access it. Thanks: Csaba

Hi there, I'm experiencing the following when I replicate mails between two host, using different versions of dovecot: *Host A Host B result* dovecot-2.3-19 --> dovecort-2.3.16 ERROR: auth: Error: All password databases were skipped. doveadm(10.0.0.1,oliver.krone(a)snoog.ch): Error: auth-master: passdb lookup(oliver.krone(a)snoog.ch): Auth PASS lookup failed mail | 2024-07-04T14:21:35.635047+00:00 mail dovecot: doveadm(10.0.0.1,oliver.krone(a)snoog.ch): Error: /run/dovecot/auth-userdb: passdb lookup failed (to see if user is proxied, because doveadm_port is set) dovecot-2.3-21 --> dovecort-2.3.16 no errors, working Basically it does work with 2.3-21 --> 2.3-16 and it does not work with 2.3-19 ---> 2.3-16 without any changes in the configuration files. Any ideas? Thank you very much. Best regards Oliver

Doveadm on director
by g.carabella＠panservice.it 04 Jul '24

04 Jul '24

https://doc.dovecot.org/admin_manual/doveadm_mailbox_commands/ As indicated in the documentation above, in case of configuration with the director, the doveadm commands must be executed from the director itself. However, if I try to run the command "doveadm -D mailbox list -u user(a)example.com" the command fails because it tries to lookup user locally instead on one of the backend servers. Where am I wrong? My configuration consists of three directors and three backend servers. Thanks a lot.
