Lots of problems with Dovecot 2.4
by sev+dovecot＠sev.monster 06 Oct '25

06 Oct '25

Hello all, I am trying to get Dovecot 2.4 running on Alpine Edge x86-64. But a myriad of problems have occurred that make it impossible to do so. First of all was the recent off-by-one bug that was recently fixed, which caused an unavoidable segfault on start under musl libc, which Alpine uses: https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/issues/17050 Then, I saw that the shadow driver was removed, which necessitated the installation of PAM and my learning about it... I haven't needed it before, so I'd never used it. I guess I understand why the decision was made to use PAM, though I still don't like it. After resolving those issue, I've run into new ones: 1. The passwd userdb does not seem to work correctly. It is able to get the first user and its information correctly, but any attempts to look up any user after that will seemingly always use the information from the first matched user. Setting max auths to 1 so that the auth process is discarded afterwards does not seem to help. For example, if the first user to log in to Dovecot is bob, and then user joe logs in, the information returned from the passwd userdb will all be that of user bob, not joe. This continues for all subsequent userdb lookups until Dovecot is restarted, and a new userdb lookup is persisted. Changing to passwd-file instead works and does not experience this problem. 2. Why is the only available username field for the passwd driver %{passwd:system_groups_user}? I understand what the purpose of the field is based on the docs, but shouldn't more than this be exposed? The fields available through passwd are also not documented, and I had to read the source to find them out. This should either be documented or a more standard username field be additionally exposed as with other drivers. Can this field even be relied on to use as the username, if the driver otherwise worked? 3. It seems the Exim auth driver is no longer able to successfully authenticate with Dovecot 2.4 against Exim 4.98.2. It works fine in the last version of 2.3.21.1. Has the authentication framework changed along with the other modifications that 2.4 underwent? Has any effort been made with the Exim team to resolve any incompatibilities? Can I somehow diagnose this issue if it's otherwise supposed to work? 4. The ldap driver can no longer look up missing fields from LDAP users. Some (but not all) of my users have the rfc2307bis schema posixAccount supplemental objectClass, and as such contain the posixHome, uidNumber, and gidNumber attributes—but even if I specify a default value, if one of the attributes is not queryable for the returned user, the lookup errors out and the login fails. This is a regression/undocumented change from 2.3.x, where instead of erroring out, the default_fields value would be used. Based on my interpretation of the design goals for 2.4, I would imagine the default filter would ignore the missing attribute error and set the default value like default_fields used to, no? Or am I missing something? 5. passdb_ldap_filter is always required for the ldap passdb driver, even if passdb_ldap_bind is enabled. Not only does this go against the docs, but the value is unused and it doesn't matter what it's set to. This is a regression from 2.3.x. Overall I am very unimpressed by 2.4. It clearly needed a lot more time in the oven and much more thorough testing. Relevant minimal config from my working 2.3.21.1 install: auth_username_format = %Ln auth_mechanisms = plain login passdb { driver = shadow } userdb { driver = passwd override_fields = gid=mail home=/var/mail/%Ln } passdb { driver = ldap args = /etc/dovecot/ldap-passdb.conf.ext #uris = ldapi://%2frun%2fopenldap%2fslapd.sock #base = ou=accounts,dc=ldap #auth_bind = yes #auth_bind_userdn = uid=%Ln,ou=accounts,dc=ldap } userdb { driver = ldap default_fields = uid=mail gid=mail home=/var/mail/%Ln args = /etc/dovecot/ldap-userdb.conf.ext #uris = ldapi://%2frun%2fopenldap%2fslapd.sock #dn = cn=dovecot,dc=ldap #dnpass = "some pw" #base = ou=accounts,dc=ldap #iterate_filter = (objectClass=inetOrgPerson) #iterate_attrs = uid=username #user_filter = (&(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)(uid=%Ln)) #user_attrs = homeDirectory=home,uidNumber=uid,gidNumber=gid } mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/%Ln mail_plugins = $mail_plugins virtual namespace inbox { inbox = yes mailbox INBOX { auto = subscribe } } namespace virtual { type = private separator = . prefix = "Search Folders." location = virtual:/etc/dovecot/virtual:INDEX=~/dovecot-virtual.cache:CONTROL=~/dovecot-virtual.cache:VOLATILEDIR=~/dovecot-virtual.cache # virtual/All/dovecot-virtual: #!INBOX #* #-Junk #-Junk* #-Spam #-Spam* #-Trash #-Trash* #-Deleted #-Deleted* #-Deleted Items #-Deleted Items* # all hidden = yes list = children subscriptions = no mailbox All { auto = subscribe special_use = \All comment = All messages, excluding Junk and Trash } } namespace virtual-user { type = private separator = . prefix = "User Search Folders." location = virtual:~/.virtual:INDEX=~/dovecot-virtual-user.cache:CONTROL=~/dovecot-virtual-user.cache:VOLATILEDIR=~/dovecot-virtual-user.cache:LAYOUT=maildir++ hidden = yes list = children subscriptions = no } service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { # restrict userdb to dovecot user/group only instead of world read/write mode = 0660 user = $default_internal_user group = $default_internal_group } unix_listener auth-client { # give Exim access to native authentication mode = 0660 group = exim } } service auth-worker { # no need to run as root user = $default_internal_user # allow pam passdb to read /etc/shadow group = shadow } !include_try /usr/share/dovecot/protocols.d/*.conf protocol imap { mail_max_userip_connections = 25 } protocol pop3 { mail_max_userip_connections = 25 } Converted config for 2.4: dovecot_config_version = 2.4.1 dovecot_storage_version = 2.4.1 mail_home = /var/mail/%{user | username | lower } mail_driver = maildir mail_path = $SET:mail_home mail_plugins = virtual auth_username_format = %{user | username | lower } auth_mechanisms = plain login passdb pam { failure_show_msg = yes max_requests = 1 } userdb passwd-file { passwd_file_path = /etc/passwd fields { gid = mail } } # BUG: doesn't work right #userdb passwd { # fields { # gid = mail # } #} passdb ldap { ldap_uris = ldapi://%2frun%2fopenldap%2fslapd.sock ldap_connection_group = login ldap_base = ou=accounts,dc=ldap ldap_bind = yes ldap_bind_userdn = uid=%{user | username | lower },ou=accounts,dc=ldap # XXX: thought this wasnt needed with bind?

Best regards.

IMAPSieve filters don't run on virtual mailboxes
by Ákos Szőts 03 Oct '25

03 Oct '25

Hi everyone, In the following configuration my IMAPSieve script doesn't run on the configured "copy" action when I assign it to a virtual mailbox. However, using the very same config snippet on a regular mailbox, the script suddenly starts to work. Move direction: from virtual to virtual (INBOX/Primary to INBOX/Notification). Do you know how to assign IMAPSieve to virtual mailboxes? Virtual config: namespace virtual-classification { prefix = "INBOX/" separator = / mail_driver = virtual mail_path = /var/lib/dovecot/virtual/classification/en mail_index_path = %{home}/index/virtual/classification/en namespace_subscriptions = no mailbox Notification { auto = subscribe sieve_script classification-move1 { type = before cause = copy append path = /var/lib/dovecot/sieve/imapsieve.d/classification-move.sieve } } mailbox Primary { [...] } } Sieve script: require ["vnd.dovecot.debug"]; debug_log "IMAPSIEVE SCRIPT WAS CALLED!"; Virtual file: virtual/classification/en/Notification/dovecot-virtual: !INBOX KEYWORD classification-notification The same result with "!INBOX" and "INBOX". Inbox namespace (working example): namespace inbox { separator = / inbox = yes mail_path = %{home}/mail mail_index_path = %{home}/index/inbox mailbox "Archive" { special_use = \Archive auto = subscribe sieve_script classification-move1 { type = before cause = copy append path = /var/lib/dovecot/sieve/imapsieve.d/classification-move.sieve } } } In the latter case the script is called properly and I see the debug message in info.log. But in the virtual case, the script doesn't run. Debug logs of failing case: Mailbox INBOX: Mailbox opened Mailbox INBOX/Primary: Mailbox opened Mailbox INBOX: Mailbox opened Namespace inbox: Using permissions from /var/spool/mail/[...]//mail: mode=0700 gid=default Mailbox INBOX: Mailbox opened Mailbox INBOX: imapsieve: MOVE event Mailbox INBOX: UID 2147: Expunge requested Mailbox INBOX/Primary: UID 47: Expunge requested dict(file): dict created (driver=file) dict(file): Looking up 'shared/90b3ed0066c4fe670a000000b7545530/imapsieve/script' dict(file): Lookup finished for 'shared/90b3ed0066c4fe670a000000b7545530/imapsieve/script': not found Mailbox INBOX: imapsieve: Mailbox attribute /shared/imapsieve/script not found dict(file): Looking up 'shared/90b3ed0066c4fe670a000000b7545530/vendor/vendor.dovecot/pvt/server/imapsieve/script' dict(file): Lookup finished for 'shared/90b3ed0066c4fe670a000000b7545530/vendor/vendor.dovecot/pvt/server/imapsieve/script': not found Mailbox INBOX: imapsieve: Server attribute /shared/imapsieve/script not found duplicate db: Initialize sieve: Pigeonhole version 2.4.1-4 (0a86619f) initializing Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib64/dovecot/modules/sieve Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/modules/sieve/lib90_sieve_extprograms_plugin.so Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/modules/sieve/lib90_sieve_imapsieve_plugin.so sieve: Sieve Extprograms plugin for Pigeonhole version 2.4.1-4 (0a86619f) loaded sieve: Sieve imapsieve plugin for Pigeonhole version 2.4.1-4 (0a86619f) loaded fts-flatcurve: fts-flatcurve(INBOX): Expunge uid=2147 fts-flatcurve: fts-flatcurve(INBOX): Opened DB (RO) messages=136 version=1 shards=2 fts-flatcurve: fts-flatcurve(INBOX): Opened DB (RW, current.1755771145431021) messages=48 version=1 Mailbox INBOX: UID 2147: Mail expunged fts-flatcurve: fts-flatcurve(INBOX): Committed 1 changes to DB (RW, current.1755771145431021) in 0.003 secs fts-flatcurve: fts-flatcurve: Update transaction completed in 0.004 secs Mailbox INBOX/Primary: Backend mailbox INBOX changed: UIDNEXT changed: 2277 -> 2278 IMAPSieve config seems to work (based on the successful regular mailbox example), so I don't paste the whole sieve config (but in case it's necessary, I'll do it).

Public namespace - configuration help (new to Dovecot) - version 2.3.x
by daniel.botting＠codethink.co.uk 01 Oct '25

01 Oct '25

Hi all, I'm configuring a public namespace for an existing Dovecot install, I have the public namespace configured and working in a basic manner (it can be subscribed to in an MUA and mail can be moved into it for a specified user named in the dovecot-acl file). I've followed the official docs: - https://doc.dovecot.org/2.3/configuration_manual/shared_mailboxes/public_sh… When I configure the MUA (Thunderbird) I can see the public namespace and a subfolder that I've manually created underneath (with new/cur/tmp folders, parent public folders also has a new tmp cur directories, mail cannot be moved into public top level folder), but it is displayed as below when subscribed to: public^subfolder I've resolved this by changing the separator to a / , however as per my doveconf -n below I then received a separator conflict, which I resolved by changing the separator for the default namespace to also be a / .

postfix alias and dovecot quota
by Alexandre Ellert 28 Sep '25

28 Sep '25

Hello, Can someone tell me if it’s possible to configure dovecot to answer quota information about real mailbox when I query a postfix alias mailbox (this information is actually in a mysql database) ? Example : doveadm quota get - u alias(a)domain.com doveadm(alias(a)domain.com): Fatal: User doesn't exist doveadm quota get - u realmailbox(a)domain.com Quota name Type Value Limit % user STORAGE 2048853 2048000 100 user MESSAGE 6783 - 0 I’d like to have this result : doveadm quota get - u alias(a)domain.com Quota name Type Value Limit % user STORAGE 2048853 2048000 100 user MESSAGE 6783 - 0 doveadm quota get - u realmailbox(a)domain.com Quota name Type Value Limit % user STORAGE 2048853 2048000 100 user MESSAGE 6783 - 0 Thanks for your help. Alexandre.

doveadm sync issue
by Dan Whitehouse 27 Sep '25

27 Sep '25

Hi, I am running Dovecot on Debian trixie (dovecot-core/stable,now 1:2.4.1+dfsg1-6 amd64). Under the previous version, which I believe was 2.3, I was able to run a sync script with the following syntax: doveadm sync -u <user> remote:<user>@<host.tld> This worked very well and I was able to sync my mail. Having upgraded, this syntax produces the following error: dsync-server: invalid option -- ‘U' Error: doveadm: Unexpected or incomplete option: -U Even though my script doesn’t pass “-U” explicitly I believe that it is passed internally: https://github.com/dovecot/core/blob/main/src/doveadm/doveadm-settings.c#L1… core/src/doveadm/doveadm-settings.c at main · dovecot/core github.com Confusingly the online help still displays: doveadm dsync-server —help doveadm dsync-server [-r <rawlog path>] [-T <timeout secs>] [-U] Here we can see that the “-U” option (despite all the above) appears to have been removed from the code: https://github.com/dovecot/core/commit/4c04e4c30fd4817a8b0e11d04d9681173f69… global: Remove replicator · dovecot/core@4c04e4c github.com I have added the following to /etc/dovecot/local.conf: dsync_remote_cmd = "ssh -l%{login} %{host} doveadm dsync-server -u%{user}” (Note that I override the “-U”) and sync once again works properly. Many thanks for your attention, Dan Whitehouse

Sieve Scripts via SQL Dicts in Dovecot 2.4 not working?
by Niklas Meyer 11 Sep '25

11 Sep '25

Hello everyone, I am currently working on porting the Dovecot 2.4 configuration from the latest 2.3 version. During this process, I encountered issues with the Sieve filters, particularly those related to SQL dict mappings. The previous (2.3) configuration looked like this and worked: |map { pattern = priv/sieve/name/$script_nametable = sieve_before username_field = username value_field = idfields { script_name = $script_name} } map { pattern = priv/sieve/data/$idtable = sieve_before username_field = username value_field = script_data fields { id= $id} } | This resulted in the following SQL queries on the MySQL server: |2025-08-1511:01:29.237511SELECTid FROMsieve_after WHEREscript_name ='active'ANDusername ='frittenjonas(a)derlinkman.de'2025-08-1511:01:29.236416SELECTid FROMsieve_before WHEREscript_name ='active'ANDusername ='frittenjonas(a)derlinkman.de'| As you can see, there are SQL mappings for |sieve_before| and |sieve_after|, alongside a local file loaded prior to the SQL settings, as they are user-based. In Dovecot 2.3, everything worked and the scripts were executed. In 2.4, however, they no longer run. I adapted the configuration for dict SQL mapping for Sieve filters according to the documentation: |dict_mappriv/sieve/name/$script_name{ sql_table= sieve_before username_field = username value_field id { } # The script name field in the table to querykey_fieldscript_name { value= $script_name} } dict_map priv/sieve/data/$id{ sql_table= sieve_before username_field = username value_field script_data { } key_fieldid { value= $id} } | This also results in the dict proxy querying the database with the same pattern as before: |2025-08-1511:11:47.175184SELECTid FROMsieve_after WHEREscript_name ='active'ANDusername ='frittenjonas(a)derlinkman.de'2025-08-1511:11:47.172952SELECTid FROMsieve_before WHEREscript_name ='active'ANDusername ='frittenjonas(a)derlinkman.de'2025-08-1511:11:47.155786SELECTid FROMsieve_after WHEREscript_name ='active'ANDusername ='frittenjonas(a)derlinkman.de'2025-08-1511:11:47.136030SELECTid FROMsieve_before WHEREscript_name ='active'ANDusername ='frittenjonas(a)derlinkman.de'| However, unlike in 2.3, it now queries the DB twice.

RHEL 8 key import error
by Gioele Pannetto 08 Sep '25

Hi, I'm having issues while installing Dovecot 2.4 on a Rocky Linux 8.10 server. This server was running Dovecot 2.3 but I wanted to upgrade it to 2.4. This is my repo file: [dovecot-2.4-latest] name=Dovecot 2.4 RHEL $releasever - $basearch baseurl=https://repo.dovecot.org/ce-2.4-latest/rhel/$releasever/RPMS/$basea… gpgkey=https://repo.dovecot.org/DOVECOT-REPO-GPG-2.4 gpgcheck=1 enabled=1 When I run dnf update I get a GPG error: Problem opening package dovecot-2.4.1-4.x86_64.rpm Problem opening package dovecot-lua-2.4.1-4.x86_64.rpm Problem opening package dovecot-mysql-2.4.1-4.x86_64.rpm The downloaded packages were saved in cache until the next successful transaction. You can remove cached packages by executing 'dnf clean packages'. Error: GPG check FAILED If I try to import the key manually with rpm --import https://repo.dovecot.org/DOVECOT-REPO-GPG-2.4 I get: error: https://repo.dovecot.org/DOVECOT-REPO-GPG-2.4: key 1 import failed. I also tried it on a fresh Rocky Linux 8.10 installation and I get the same exact error, but running it on Rocky Linux 9.6 works just fine.

High Available (SoHo) dovecot setup using PVE+Ubuntu (+Docker)?
by Gerben Wierda 04 Sep '25

04 Sep '25

I currently run a HA postfix/dovecot setup that is failover behind a HAproxy. The two legs are a dovecot 2 on macOS (MacPorts) and a dovecot 2 on Ubuntu (PVE+Ubuntu+Docker), making the system somewhat antifragile. HA is realised via dovecot’s own syncing (which is not longer available in dovecot 3). This works OK. (In addition: there is rspamd as an important part of the setup, e.g. for DMARC). There are multiple virtual domains. Given that I have lost APNS (Apple Push Notification) as Apple has retired support for former Mac OS X Server users, there is not longer a reason to keep the macOS version running (apart from that antifragility thing, but that was more an added bonus). I am looking at moving to a different setup where the entire mail setup may move to a full Linux foundation. I am starting to look at future options (there is still time to actually create the setup somewhere the coming year or so. If I want to be future-dovecot proof, I need to move to HA for storage as dovecot syncing is deprecated. I wonder what my best way forward its, based on a 2 physical machine, PVE+Ubuntu+Docker setup. Build a HA NFSv4 cluster? Use Ceph? ZFS? Any tips, experiences, or ideas are welcome. Robustness/security/low-maintenance/own-your-own-data are my main objectives. I do not have high volumes, this is a setup for just a few users. G I currently run a HA postfix/dovecot setup that is failover behind a HAproxy.
