Dovecot 3.21.1 -> 2.4.0 SegFault
by Cata S 15 May '25

15 May '25

Hi guys, There seems to be some issue with Dovecot deployed on alpine. More specifically, the dovecot.config file is not properly read. I have run some debugging and the SegFault is returned in the function below: #0 0x000055555556779b in config_parsed_get_setting () No symbol table info available. #1 0x0000555555563708 in config_dump_full () No symbol table info available. #2 0x000055555555c814 in main () No symbol table info available. This was also addressed by alpine here: https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/issues/17050 Any idea what could be causing this? Thanks for looking into it, Cata

For additional modules, the mail_plugin_dir parameter is ignored
by Lafiel 14 May '25

14 May '25

Hi. The NixOS distribution for Dovecot uses a patch that hardcodes the path to the plugins in `/etc/dovecot/modules`. The modules themselves are located at `/nix/store/z9kf4ri8sq9f3r510qsm59g1n6kfc7q6-dovecot-2.3.21.1/lib/dovecot`, the script creates symlinks in the `/etc/dovecot/modules` directory. The additional modules are loaded normally. Now I want to remove the patch. I added the parameter `“--with-moduledir=$(out)/etc/dovecot/modules”`, and the modules are located at path `/nix/store/wb885d6w5dfchg9v481f55zj4a2p3r89-dovecot-2.3.21.1/etc/dovecot/modules`. In the configuration I added the parameter `mail_plugin_dir = /etc/dovecot/modules`. The main modules load fine, but the optional modules don't want to load: ``` Error: Plugin 'imap_sieve' not found from directory /nix/store/wb885d6w5dfchg9v481f55zj4a2p3r89-dovecot-2.3.21.1/etc/dovecot/modules ``` For additional modules, the mail_plugin_dir parameter is ignored. Temporary solution - in src/config/config-parser.h file I replaced the line ``` #define CONFIG_MODULE_DIR MODULEDIR"/settings” ``` by ``` #define CONFIG_MODULE_DIR “/etc/dovecot/modules/settings” ``` -- Best regards, Lafiel mailto:lafiel@elven.pw

Hello, if I try to retrieve crypt_private_key_file from userdb/ldap doesn't work, infact if I have: crypt_global_private_key main{ crypt_private_key_password=secret crypt_private_key_file=/path/to/file } all is ok. If I want to have: crypt_global_private_key main{ crypt_private_key_password=secret crypt_private_key_file= } userdb ldap { driver = ldap ..... fields { mail_crypt_global_private_key/main/crypt_private_key_file=inline:%{ldap:key} } } I have into logs: lmtp(134879): Fatal: Raw user initialization failed: mail_crypt_plugin: nuovo: Couldn't parse private key : Unknown key format I am sure that the key is correctly base64 encoded, infact if I pick the ldap value of %{ldap:key} and I decode base64 I have the pkey crypted key. Any suggestion?

Unable to save message in shared mailbox
by Markus Bach 12 May '25

12 May '25

Hello, I have a curious problem. We are running a Debian bookworm server with dovecot 2.3.19.1. We have a lot of shared mailboxes and most of them are behaving just fine. But we have a problem with one shared mailbox: Users aren't able to save messages in it even though they have the right to. This issue popped up, when a user This mailbox is set up like every other shared-mailbox, so I don't think it's a permission problem. We tried it with several users giving them the same access rights and always got an error when trying to save a mail in the shared mailbox. I didn't find anything that could help in the log files. Even after turning on `mail_debug` I can't even see the try to save a message in the logs. Some of the things I've tried so far without any success: * doveadm force-resync * increasing the quota for the shared-mailbox * disabling the quote for the shared-mailbox * recreating the Sent folder in the shared-maiblox. Does anybody have any idea how I can debug this further or where the issue could be?

Quota wrongfully reported as exceeded on shared mailbox
by adminkram＠tripelspark.de 07 May '25

07 May '25

Hi, I've been scratching my head without luck with the following problem: I've shared a mailbox from one user "COMPANY" to another user "JOE". Both users have quotas and both quotas are less than 50% used. When the user JOE tries to post a message into the shared folder, dovecot complains that the user would be over quota: bash# /usr/lib/dovecot/imap -u JOE 1 append shared/COMPANY/Sent/JOE {10} a NO [OVERQUOTA] Quota exceeded (mailbox for user is full) (0.057 + 0.000 + 0.057 secs). However, nobody is over quota: bash# doveadm quota get -u COMPANY Quota name Type Value Limit % User quota STORAGE 4754996 10485760 45 User quota MESSAGE 33695 - 0 bash# doveadm quota get -u JOE Quota name Type Value Limit % User quota STORAGE 14 1048576 0 User quota MESSAGE 3 - 0 Some more infos: 1. Dovecot-2.3.21 (+Debian updates) 2.3.21 (47349e2482) (NOTE: dovecot.org/mailing-lists says: Use dovecot –version to get it. The command is dovecot --version, though!) 2. I've performed "doveadm quota recalc" on both users, no change. 3. I've checked sharing ACL permissions, if I give just "l" permission, the response will be "NO [NOPERM] Permission denied". It does not seem to be an ACL permission reported wrongly. 4. I've tried increasing the quota size beyond reason (100 Gbytes for JOE), no change. 5. I've restarted dovecot after each change. 6. When trying to move a message into the shared Sent/joe folder in Thunderbird, same problem happens, Thunderbird displays the over quota message. Thunderbird cannot display the quota info for the shared folder, though. 7. I tried to enable rawlog (rawlog_dir in protocol imap). It does nothing helpful. It logs the manual commands from my pre-auth sessions (imap -u JOE) but it will stubbornly not log any commands issued by Thunderbird. ?! Any idea how to further debug this or what could be wrong? Thank you, Wolfgang

Re: Problem email client iPhone ios18.2
by Michael Slusarz 07 May '25

Timo confirmed this type of message (see below) breaks iOS mail clients regardless of the IMAP server used. So it is almost certainly a client issue. We are in contact with the Apple Mail developers and have provided this debug information to them. michael > On 02/10/2025 7:19 AM MST Timo Sirainen via dovecot <dovecot(a)dovecot.org> wrote: > > > On 10.

GSSAPI authentication regression with 2.4.x
by Noah Meyerhans 02 May '25

02 May '25

While preparing the Debian packages of Dovecot 2.4.1, I encountered what appears to be a regression that impacts the ability of some clients to successfully negotiate gssapi/krb5 authentication. The regression has so far been observed in gsasl, which was able to successfully authenticate to 2.3.19 but cannot authenticate to 2.4.1. Mutt is able to successfully authenticate with 2.3.19 and 2.4.1. Doveconf output is attached. The debug logs for both failed (gsasl) and successful (mutt) authentications follow. Note that all logs are from an ephemeral debug environment, and sensitive data is not redacted. I can provide additional information as needed, and can test different code and/or configuration changes.

Dovecot 3.21.1 -> 2.4.0 SegFault
by Cata S 02 May '25

02 May '25

Hi guys, There seems to be some issue with Dovecot deployed on alpine. More specifically, the dovecot.config file is not properly read. I have run some debugging and the SegFault is returned in the function below: #0 0x000055555556779b in config_parsed_get_setting () No symbol table info available. #1 0x0000555555563708 in config_dump_full () No symbol table info available. #2 0x000055555555c814 in main () No symbol table info available. This was also addressed by alpine here: https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/issues/17050 Any idea what could be causing this? Thanks for looking into it, Cata
