TLS certificates SQL driver ?
by Andrew Mason 28 Sep '24

28 Sep '24

Hi folks, I was curious if it was possible to configure Dovecot to lookup the TLS certificate it should present in a similar way that the passdb lookups can use a driver. I have a few domains that share the same IP and I'm currently using SNI with both Dovecot and Postfix. I have pretty much all the configuration stored for each domain in a relational database , including the TLS cert that Postfix presents. If I add a new domain, I still have to add an entry to config file for dovecot i.e local_name imap.example.org { ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/imap.example.org.crt ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/imap.example.org.key } local_name imap.example2.org { ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/imap.example2.org.crt ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/imap.example2.org.key } I was hoping it was possible to use the same records in the database that I currently use for Postfix. Kind regards Andrew

Dovecot undeleteable folder?
by Benoît Panizzon 27 Sep '24

27 Sep '24

Hi Liste We are and ISP and use Dovecot. From time to time, we have customer reporting not being able to delete IMAP folder they have created. This often seems to happen when some email client is creating temporary folder on some move or copy operations. Permissions look right. I can't figure out, what goes wrong, but I can reproduce via telnet by manually issuing IMAP commands. To me it looks like Dovecot forgets about what folders exist. Is there some caching of the folder information? Is there a way to enable some debug logging of folder creation and deletion? Example: Customer has a Folder named: ARCHIV.AdministrationXXX Folder file exists and permissions look right: ./ARCHIV/AdministrationXXX d delete ARCHIV.AdministrationXXX d OK Delete completed (0.001 + 0.000 secs). Folder file is still present and can not be deleted again. Re-Connecting with a client lists the folder as present despite having been deleted. It's sort of a Schrödinger Folder. It is there but it's also not there. c create ARCHIV.AdministrationXXX c OK Create completed (0.007 + 0.000 + 0.006 secs). d delete ARCHIV.AdministrationXXX d OK Delete completed (0.006 + 0.000 + 0.005 secs). Now the Folder File is gone, showing the permissions were correct. I can do this corrective action via telnet. But most mail clients will refuse to create a Folder with the same name as an existing one. What could cause that issue and how I could try to further debug the issue? No errors, no hints in the logs. -- Mit freundlichen Grüssen -Benoît Panizzon- @ HomeOffice und normal erreichbar -- I m p r o W a r e A G - Leiter Commerce Kunden ______________________________________________________ Zurlindenstrasse 29 Tel +41 61 826 93 00 CH-4133 Pratteln Fax +41 61 826 93 01 Schweiz Web http://www.imp.ch ______________________________________________________

hello I encountered the following issue while compiling Dovecot on a Linux system with the Shenwei architecture in China using RPM: During the build phase, it shows: Copy Code checking whether fd passing works... no configure: error: fd passing is required for Dovecot to work The version of Dovecot I am compiling is 2.3.16, and the version of the GCC tool is 8.5.0. My spec file's build section is as follows: Copy Code %build # required for fdpass.c line 125,190: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules %global _hardened_build 1 export CFLAGS="%{__global_cflags} -fno-strict-aliasing -fstack-reuse=none" export LDFLAGS="-Wl,-z,now -Wl,-z,relro %{?__global_ldflags}" # el6 autoconf too old to regen; use packaged files (#1082384) mkdir -p m4 autoreconf -I . -fiv # required for aarch64 support %configure \ INSTALL_DATA="install -c -p -m644" \ --with-rundir=%{_rundir}/%{name} \ --with-systemd \ --docdir=%{_docdir}/%{name} \ --disable-static \ --disable-rpath \ --with-nss \ --with-shadow \ --with-pam \ --with-gssapi=plugin \ --with-ldap=plugin \ --with-sql=plugin \ --with-pgsql \ --with-mysql \ --with-sqlite \ --with-zlib \ --with-libcap \ --with-lucene \ --with-ssl=openssl \ --with-ssldir=%{ssldir} \ --with-solr \ --with-systemdsystemunitdir=%{_unitdir} \ --with-docs \ sed -i 's|/etc/ssl|/etc/pki/dovecot|' doc/mkcert.sh doc/example-config/conf.d/10-ssl.conf make %{?_smp_mflags} # pigeonhole pushd dovecot-2*3-pigeonhole-%{pigeonholever} # required for snapshot [ -f configure ] || autoreconf -fiv [ -f ChangeLog ] || echo "Pigeonhole ChangeLog is not available, yet" >ChangeLog %configure \ INSTALL_DATA="install -c -p -m644" \ --disable-static \ --with-dovecot=../ \ --without-unfinished-features make %{?_smp_mflags} popd

dsync with vurtial folder leads to mess of msg ID
by Kirill A. Korinsky 25 Sep '24

25 Sep '24

Greetings, I have a setup with two dovecot servers and dsync replication between them. On both of them I have a virtual folders, forexample All with config: mx1# cat /etc/dovecot/virtual/All/dovecot-virtual * -Trash -Trash/* -Junk -Junk/* all All virtual folders are excluded from replication because it leads to broken replication with errors like: virtual.All can't be created. So, I have. replication_dsync_parameters = -d -l 30 -U -x virtual. Unfortently, after a couple of weeks I've noticed that msg id for the same message on the different servers aren't match. For example: mx1# doveadm fetch -u kirill(a)korins.ky 'uid' mailbox virtual.All header Message-ID 'macports/macports-ports/pull/22284/c1901369454(a)github.com' uid: 157786 mx1# doveadm fetch -u kirill(a)korins.ky 'uid' mailbox INBOX header Message-ID 'macports/macports-ports/pull/22284/c1901369454(a)github.com' uid: 5561 mx1# vs mx2# doveadm fetch -u kirill(a)korins.ky 'uid' mailbox virtual.All header Message-ID 'macports/macports-ports/pull/22284/c1901369454(a)github.com' uid: 157766 mx2# doveadm fetch -u kirill(a)korins.ky 'uid' mailbox INBOX header Message-ID 'macports/macports-ports/pull/22284/c1901369454(a)github.com' uid: 5561 mx2# as you may see msgid at INBOX are matched, but it isn't true for virtual.All, here 157786 vs 157766 So, here the question: how can I sync msg id inside virtual folder on this setup? -- wbr, Kirill

I am trying to modify the body of message with a global sieve script. It looks like that sieve-test does not generate this error, however I am not really able to verify the output. There does not seem to be an option to catch the output (new message) trace log 00000008: 3: finishing match with result: matched 00000029: 3: jump if result is false 00000029: 3: not jumping 0000002e: 5: filter action 0000002e: 5: execute program `sieve-command' 0000002e: 5: filter action: program indicated false result 0000005f: ## Finished executing script 'commands' require ["vnd.dovecot.execute","vnd.dovecot.filter","vnd.dovecot.debug"]; #if true if header :contains "Subject" "xxxx" { filter "sieve-command" ["-task","xxxx"]; } dovecot log (1166226): Terminated with non-zero exit code 2

bug dir copy group permissions?
by Marc 23 Sep '24

23 Sep '24

I am not sure if this page is correct, looks at least like this g+s not ok https://doc.dovecot.org/2.3/admin_manual/filesystem_permission/ work-around is to manually create dirs mdbox mdbox/storage mdbox/mailboxes. I would think this is a bug as files seem to be created correctly. group rights are not copied on directories, resulting in getfacl #effective:--- for the acl groups just testing with rm -R -f everything below usertest6 [@ shared]# ls -ln total 4 drwxr-xr-x 4 0 0 34 Sep 23 11:50 bak drwxrwx---+ 4 10001 10001 34 Sep 23 12:18 usertest drwxrwx---+ 3 10002 10002 19 Sep 23 11:51 usertest2 drwxrwx---+ 3 10006 10006 19 Sep 23 12:37 usertest6 -rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 121 Sep 23 11:46 README where are the group rights on mdbox?
