Hello, just upgraded one of my testing machine from dovecot 1.2.15 to 2.0.7. After some trouble with permissions now all seems working, but when I stop dovecot I have these errors in log: Nov 9 17:08:07 in dovecot: master: Warning: Killed with signal 15 (by pid=20362 uid=0 code=kill) Nov 9 17:08:07 in dovecot: pop3-login: Error: read(anvil) failed: EOF Nov 9 17:08:07 in dovecot: imap-login: Error: read(anvil) failed: EOF Nov 9 17:08:07 in dovecot: imap(mailing(a)securitylabs.it): Server shutting down. bytes=410/59361 Nov 9 17:08:07 in dovecot: imap(mailing(a)securitylabs.it): Server shutting down. bytes=79/26605 Nov 9 17:08:07 in dovecot: imap(mailing(a)securitylabs.it): Server shutting down. bytes=802/55708 Nov 9 17:08:07 in dovecot: imap(mailing(a)securitylabs.it): Server shutting down. bytes=258/1242 Nov 9 17:08:07 in dovecot: auth: Error: read(anvil-auth-penalty) failed: EOF Nov 9 17:08:07 in dovecot: auth: Error: net_connect_unix(anvil-auth-penalty) failed: Permission denied dovecot -n: # 2.0.7: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-5-xen-686 i686 Debian squeeze/sid auth_cache_negative_ttl = 2 mins auth_cache_size = 1000 M auth_cache_ttl = 2 mins auth_master_user_separator = * auth_username_chars = abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ01234567890.-_@& disable_plaintext_auth = no dotlock_use_excl = yes first_valid_uid = 100 last_valid_uid = 105 lock_method = dotlock log_timestamp = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S " login_greeting = Server ready. mail_fsync = never mail_gid = Debian-exim mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir:INDEX=/var/indexes/%d/%n mail_privileged_group = Debian-exim mail_uid = Debian-exim managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = separator = / type = private } namespace { location = maildir:~/Maildir/expunged prefix = EXPUNGED/ separator = / type = private } namespace { location = maildir:~/Maildir/deleted prefix = DELETED/ separator = / type = private } namespace { location = maildir:~/Maildir/deleted/expunged prefix = DELETED/EXPUNGED/ separator = / type = private } passdb { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf driver = sql } passdb { args = /usr/local/etc/passwd.masterusers driver = passwd-file master = yes pass = yes } plugin { lazy_expunge = EXPUNGED/ DELETED/ DELETED/EXPUNGED/ mail_log_events = delete expunge mail_log_group_events = quota = maildir quota_warning = storage=80%% /usr/local/bin/dovecot-quota-warning.sh 80 quota_warning2 = storage=90%% /usr/local/bin/dovecot-quota-warning.sh 90 sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve } pop3_no_flag_updates = yes protocols = imap pop3 service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { group = Debian-exim mode = 0600 user = Debian-exim } } service imap-login { client_limit = 256 process_limit = 128 process_min_avail = 3 service_count = 1 } service imap { drop_priv_before_exec = yes process_limit = 256 vsz_limit = 256 B } service pop3-login { client_limit = 256 process_limit = 128 process_min_avail = 3 service_count = 1 } service pop3 { drop_priv_before_exec = yes process_limit = 256 vsz_limit = 256 B } ssl_cert = </usr/local/etc/dovecot.crt ssl_key = </usr/local/etc/dovecot.key userdb { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf driver = sql } protocol imap { mail_max_userip_connections = 10 mail_plugins = " notify quota imap_quota mail_log lazy_expunge" } protocol pop3 { mail_max_userip_connections = 3 mail_plugins = " notify quota mail_log" pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv } protocol lda { mail_plugins = quota sieve postmaster_address = postmaster(a)securitylabs.it } My /usr/local/var/run/dovecot directory: 4 drwxr-sr-x 4 root staff 4096 Nov 9 17:08 . 4 drwxrwsrwx 3 root staff 4096 Nov 9 17:05 .. 0 srw------- 1 root staff 0 Nov 9 17:05 anvil 0 srw------- 1 root staff 0 Nov 9 17:05 anvil-auth-penalty 0 srw------- 1 root staff 0 Nov 9 17:05 auth-client 0 srw------- 1 dovecot staff 0 Nov 9 17:05 auth-login 0 srw------- 1 root staff 0 Nov 9 17:05 auth-master 0 srw------- 1 Debian-exim Debian-exim 0 Nov 9 17:05 auth-userdb 0 srw------- 1 dovecot staff 0 Nov 9 17:05 auth-worker 0 srw------- 1 root staff 0 Nov 9 17:05 config 0 srw------- 1 root staff 0 Nov 9 17:05 dict 0 srw------- 1 root staff 0 Nov 9 17:05 director-admin 0 srw-rw-rw- 1 root staff 0 Nov 9 17:05 dns-client 0 srw------- 1 root staff 0 Nov 9 17:05 doveadm-server 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root staff 35 Nov 9 17:05 dovecot.conf -> /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf 4 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 9 17:05 empty 4 drwxr-x--- 2 root dovenull 4096 Nov 9 17:05 login My emails are delivered as user Debian-exim and users are virtual in a MySQL DB.

Problem email client iPhone ios18.2
by andrzej.milewski＠gmail.com 28 Mar '25

28 Mar '25

Hello, I have a fairly new installation of the Dovecot server version 2.3.19.1 on Debian 12.8. In general, the server works correctly. It sends and receives emails without issues. The clients primarily use Thunderbird on desktops and Gmail on Android. However, some clients are using iPhones with various hardware versions. Those with iOS below version 18 work correctly without any issues. Those who have updated their phones to version 18 and now even 18.2 are experiencing problems with mailbox synchronization. On version 18.2, the issue appears as follows: When you open the app, you can read several messages. They load correctly, but, for instance, attachments do not. If I wait for some time, the attachment eventually loads. During this time, I observe the server logs, and it shows that a certain session on the Dovecot server has ended. Dec 17 13:13:01 iredmail0 dovecot[408]: imap(xxx(a)xxx.com)<44785><1QGZCHcp/+3AqM2O>: Disconnected: Connection closed (UID SEARCH finished 92.295 secs ago) in=2972 out=6076956 deleted=0 expunged=0 trashed=0 hdr_count=0 hdr_bytes=0 body_count=36 body_bytes=6059064 Dec 18 08:40:41 iredmail0 dovecot[408]: imap(xxx(a)xxx.com)<177412>: Disconnected: Connection closed (UID FETCH finished 90.079 secs ago) in=5126 out=1304237 deleted=0 expunged=0 trashed=0 hdr_count=94 hdr_bytes=289688 body_count=89 body_bytes=969615 Dec 18 08:42:19 iredmail0 dovecot[408]: imap(xxx(a)xxx.com)<177410><D5mqU4cpZ+nAqM2O>: Disconnected: Connection closed (UID FETCH finished 95.051 secs ago) in=4475 out=1162785 deleted=0 expunged=0 trashed=0 hdr_count=95 hdr_bytes=281674 body_count=61 body_bytes=839545 Dec 18 08:44:17 iredmail0 dovecot[408]: imap(edyta.kowalewska(a)laktopol.com.pl)<177918>: Disconnected: Connection closed (UID FETCH finished 92.132 secs ago) in=29399 out=30266644 deleted=0 expunged=0 trashed=0 hdr_count=565 hdr_bytes=1726228 body_count=628 body_bytes=28109455 After the session is closed, the attachment loads immediately. From the logs and router analysis, it appears that the download happens in another previously opened session. After this incident, I go to another message with an attachment, and the situation repeats. There are also situations where the email body does not load, and the app waits for the server until the session closes and the content is fetched in another session. It does not matter whether I connect to the server via the internet or through a local network. On an iPhone 7 with iOS 15.8.3, everything works smoothly. Attachments open without issues. On iOS 18.1.1, attachments do not load, and the session does not close on its own. It takes forever unless the app is closed. In the Gmail app, everything works correctly without any issues. This is clearly a problem with the mail client on iPhone. However, is there anything I can adjust in my server settings to mitigate this issue for users?

Bug: Logout counters reset after recreating hibernated process
by Eirik Rye 12 Mar '25

12 Mar '25

Hello, # dovecot --version 2.3.20 (80a5ac675d) When using hibernation (`imap_hibernate_timeout = 10s`), counters such as deleted/expunged messages, appear to be reset after the user process is recreated. Steps to reproduce: 1. Configure IMAP hibernation 2. Login with IMAP client 3. Delete+expunge a message 4. IDLE, and wait 10s for process to be hibernated 5. Unhibernate process (`DONE`), and log out 6. Observe the logged line: 2023-09-05T17:36:26+0200 imap(<redacted>)<776933><jA2nYJ4EPdcqAVtAAADwAAutur4AAAAB>: Info: Disconnected: Logged out in=9 out=88 deleted=0 expunged=0 trashed=0 hdr_count=0 hdr_bytes=0 body_count=0 body_bytes=0 The expected output is "deleted=1 expunged=1", not "deleted=0 expunged=0". If you follow the steps above, but skip the IDLE/hibernate step, the output is as expected. Interestingly, if the client is disconnected during hibernation (without recreating the process), the output from `imap-hibernate` is still as expected: 2023-09-05T17:45:15+0200 imap-hibernate(<redacted>)<770540><0qE0gJ4Emt8qAVtAAADwAAutur4AAAAB>: Info: Disconnected: Connection closed in=97 out=1020 deleted=1 expunged=1 trashed=0 hdr_count=0 hdr_bytes=0 body_count=0 body_bytes=0 This leads me to believe the counters are lost during process recreation, not during hibernation. This is an issue as customers will often come to us asking why messages have disappeared in their inbox, or asking for help to identify which client is expunging messages. Right now, this information is lost if hibernation is used and the client is hibernated after expunging. Best regards, Eirik Rye

lua API and returning reason and CONTACTADMIN
by Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz 19 Feb '25

19 Feb '25

Hello. Trying to pass reason response via lua by passing it at dovecot.auth.PASSDB_RESULT_USER_DISABLED like: function auth_password_verify(request, password) return dovecot.auth.PASSDB_RESULT_USER_DISABLED, "reason=custom_message" end function auth_userdb_lookup(request) return dovecot.auth.PASSDB_RESULT_OK, "uid=428671 gid=9726 home=/var/mail/existusertest" end function script_init() return 0 end function script_deinit() end Unfortunately returned result contains no custom message and also returns AUTHENTICATIONFAILED instead of CONTACTADMIN: NO [AUTHENTICATIONFAILED] Authentication failed. while I would expect something like: NO [CONTACTADMIN] custom_message: Any reason for such behaviour and how to get reason passed and proper CONTACTADMIN? Tests done on 2.3.21.1. passdb { driver = lua mechanisms = login plain args = file=/etc/dovecot/lua_auth_script_test_fail.lua blocking=yes } userdb { driver = lua args = file=/etc/dovecot/lua_auth_script_test_fail.lua blocking=yes } -- Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz, arekm / ( maven.pl | pld-linux.org )

Different Replicator Crash??

I added the suggested "count--" and recompiled, and it now appears to work, the replication goes both ways, eyeballing the e-mail on the two servers they look the same. Good.

Clarification Question about migrating_mailboxes and broken doc link
by Aleks 02 Feb '25

02 Feb '25

Hi. I have read the https://doc.dovecot.org/2.3/admin_manual/migrating_mailboxes/#id7 and there is one part which is not 100% clear to me. We have 2 Dovecot servers mail1 (2.2.36.4) and mail2 ( 2.3.21 ). Now I have understood that I need to add this to mail1 ``` service doveadm { inet_listener { port = 12354 } } doveadm_password = supersecret ``` and this on mail2 ``` doveadm_password = supersecret ``` The question is for me now: I think that this command `doveadm backup -Ru username tcp:host:port` should be executed on the mail2. Is this assumption right? What I also found is that on that Page https://doc.dovecot.org/2.3/admin_manual/doveadm_mailbox_commands/ the wiki is linked for the manpages but the wiki link shows this. ``` The old wiki has been closed Our primary documentation is now at https://doc.dovecot.org, please update your links. ``` What's the right link for the manpages in the web? Best regards Aleks

[Off-topic] ANN: Nauthilus
by Christian Rößner 01 Feb '25

01 Feb '25

Today I am pleased to announce the Nauthilus software. Nauthilus (N-Auth-ilus) is a centralized authentication server with a comprehensive policy engine. The idea behind this project is to connect services centrally in one place and perform extensive tests during authentication. # What can Nauthilus do and what problems does it solve? Many services on the Internet require authentication. Each application must then be connected to databases and must implement its own protective measures to ward off attackers. Every installation carries the risk of compromisation and therefore also access to the databases. With Nauthilus, the task is centralized in one place. Nauthilus is essentially an HTTP REST server that can be accessed by any application. It takes on the role of a guardian. Nauthilus integrates very well with Dovecot and Postfix. # Authentication process Nauthilus uses several authentication steps: ## 1. features Features include tests such as TLS verification, relay domains (is the system even responsible for the requested domain?), blocklists, RBLs and freely definable Lua features. Nauthilus has a powerful brute force concept with buckets to detect even slow attacks over days and weeks. It offers a bucket system for this purpose. ## 2. backend authentication Nauthilus includes LDAP support and Lua to perform the authentication itself. A large library of predefined functions is available in Lua, including SQL support. ## 3 Policies Policies are run through after authentication. Despite a successful login, the system can reject the login (or, conversely, allow it!). There is also space here for GeoIP lookups, etc. ## 4. Post-processing After the 3rd point, authentication has been completed, but at this point further tests can run in the background such as: * Check password policy and take action * Consult the Haveibeenpwnd network * GeoIP tracking across national borders and much more. ## Miscellaneous Nauthilus allows the free definition of so-called hooks. Each hook listens for a specific URI (callback) in the HTTP request. These callbacks are written by the administrator in Lua. In an initial proof of concept, Nauthilus can take on the role of a Dovecot director. This has already been tested with version 2.4.0. Currently, Nauthilus can dynamically delegate incoming connections to backends. The hooks concept is used here as an example. # Final words By integrating a Lua VM into the server, Nauthilus can be integrated and customized in almost any setup. See also the other Nauthilus-related projects listed in the appendix.

Replication ade
by Hanns Mattes 01 Feb '25

01 Feb '25

Hei, mit 2.4 verschwindet ja, wenn ich das richtig verstanden habe, die Replication aus dem Werkzeugkasten von Dovecot. Obwohl ich nur ein recht kleines System mit etwa 500 Nutzern betreibe fand ich die Replication als ziemlich beruhigend :-) Meine Frage in die Runde: Wie wollt Ihr die Replikation ersetzen? Irgendwas mit NFS oder gibt es da eine empfohlene Herangehensweise? Fragende Grüße Hanns -- Sig for hire.
