Safe upgrade path from 2.4.1 to 2.4.4 (CVE-2026-40020) on Debian 13
by Artem Ignatov 22 Aug '26

22 Aug '26

Hello, (Redirected here from support(a)dovecot.org - I understand that address is for commercial/Pro support, and this is a Community Edition question.) We run a production mail server on Debian GNU/Linux 13 (trixie), using the Dovecot package currently shipped in the Debian 13 stable repository: dovecot-core 1:2.4.1+dfsg1-6+deb13u6 We are affected by CVE-2026-40020 ("IMAP folders can be shared-spammed to everyone"), which as far as we understand is fixed upstream in Dovecot 2.4.4. Debian 13 stable does not yet ship a backported fix, so we are currently working around the issue by not using shared/ACL mailbox access at all, and waiting for an official Debian security update. We would appreciate the community's guidance on a few points: 1. Is a safe, supported upgrade path from 2.4.1 to 2.4.4 recommended for a production instance currently installed from Debian's own package (rather than compiling from source or using a third-party repository)? 2. Are there any breaking changes between 2.4.1 and 2.4.4 we should be aware of - configuration syntax, Maildir index file format compatibility, or anything that would require downtime or re-indexing on a live mail store? 3. Our setup uses SQL-based virtual users/passdb (via PostfixAdmin/MySQL), Sieve filtering, and per-user quotas. Are there any known interactions between these features and the 2.4.4 update that we should test for before rolling it out? 4. Do you have a general recommendation on whether to wait for the Debian security team to backport the fix into 13 stable, versus updating manually ahead of that? Any guidance, or a pointer to relevant release notes/changelog entries between 2.4.1 and 2.4.4, would be very helpful. Thank you, Artem Ignatov IT Administrator, GK INVEST

Dovecot 2.4: possible bug in quota-status service
by Othmar Truniger 21 Aug '26

21 Aug '26

Hi, I'm testing dovecot 2.4 (2.4.1 on debian trixie) after migrating from 2.3.

Example: # telnet 127.0.0.1 10022 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to 127.0.0.1. Escape character is '^]'. recipient=mailtest(a)truniger.ch size=13000000 action= recipient=mailtest(a)truniger.ch size=12000000 action=OK ^] telnet> quit The manual says that an empty value for "quota_status_toolarge" defaults to "quota_status_overquota". But when looking a the actual source code of quote-status.c this does not seem to be the case - the return value is ,\0' for action: Code from line 231: switch (qret) { case QUOTA_ALLOC_RESULT_OK: /* under quota */ value = set->quota_status_success; break; case QUOTA_ALLOC_RESULT_OVER_MAXSIZE: /* even over maximum quota */ case QUOTA_ALLOC_RESULT_OVER_QUOTA_LIMIT: value = set->quota_status_toolarge; if (value[0] == '\0') break; /* fall through */ case QUOTA_ALLOC_RESULT_OVER_QUOTA: case QUOTA_ALLOC_RESULT_OVER_QUOTA_MAILBOX_LIMIT: value = set->quota_status_overquota; break; case QUOTA_ALLOC_RESULT_TEMPFAIL: case QUOTA_ALLOC_RESULT_BACKGROUND_CALC: ret = -1; break; } value = t_strdup(value); settings_free(set); if I'm reading this correctly the value of "value" stays at ,\0' when quota_status_toolarge is equal ,\0'.

[BUG] IMAP hibernation fails on FreeBSD 15.x with "Invalid peer_dev_major value"

IMAP access marking new messages as "old" for mutt
by Marc Haber 19 Aug '26

19 Aug '26

Hi, this might be a stupid question asked by someone who does not know enough about IMAP, but I'm going to tell you my user story anyway: tl;dr: can I keep dovecot from moving all "NEW" message to· "OLD" state when the Mailbox was opened once and nothing actually read? long version: My mail is delivered to a maildir on a machine I also have a shell account on. That Maildir is huge, it holds half a million messages. I usually access it directly with mutt accessing the spool. In the Mailbox, new messages automatically get the N flag and once I have opened it in mutt, I can mark it as "O" (old). I use that flag for messages that still need further work, I usually have a couple of hundred messages in that state. There is also a third state (I would call it "read") that doesnt display any flags in mutt. Occasionally, I need access to an attachment directly on my work box. In the past, I have moved that message to a sub-maildir which I then access with Thunderbird or neomutt via IMAP and dovecot (configured via userdb). I now want to give neomutt direct IMAP access to the BIG mailbox. I am impressed how quickly the neomutt/dovecot acesses this mailbox. However, once I have once opened that mailbox, all messages that had the N flag in the mutt-on-spool lose that flag immediately, replaced by the O flag. That destroys my method of seeing "O" messages as "needs work". Since that happens with both Thunderbird and neomutt when testing, I suspect, this is either mandated by the protocol (which would be a showstopper for me), or a dovecot issue, maybe even a thing that I could configure in dovecot. Hence, my question, can I configure dovecot to move a "NEW" message to "OLD" only if the message was actually READ/body-displayed by an IMAP client? And, if yes, how do I do that.

mbox - maildir transition using dovecot lmtp local user auth struggles
by "Tóth Attila" 14 Aug '26

14 Aug '26

Approaching age 49 I passed the time long before when I was excited about a new version or a software upgrade. Why poke something that works? From time to time I'm forced to upgrade hardware and software against my will otherwise could serve many more years. I became the victim of mbox -> maildir transition. First I converted the good old Sendmail to Postfix. Initially it still used procmail delivering in mbox mailboxes, now I converted the mboxes to maildir and changed the way of delivery by dovecot lmtp, since that is the software I use for IMAP access. At least there seem to be no data-loss after a couple of doveadm backup and sync retries. There are just 4 local users, so dovecot was set for pam authentication and it worked (for 20+ years, although there were some bumps while upgrading from 2.3 to 2.4 syntax). Now dovecot lmtp started bouncing mails, because it was trying to authenticate a username including the domain name as well and the backend returned unknown user, since expected local user names. This wasn't a problem with mbox/procmail. I asked AI for help and first suggested to use auth_username_format = %Ln. It soon turned out, that this syntax is obsolete. So I dig into it myself and tried auth_username_format = %{user | lower}. It wasn't picked up by dovecot, symptoms persisted. I also tried auth_username_translation = %{user | split('@') | list_first}, which turned out to be also unsuccessful. I also tried to solve the issue on the postfix side by introducing regex handling, but either lmtp_generic_maps = regexp:/etc/postfix/lmtp_generic or recipient_canonical_maps = regexp:/etc/postfix/recipient_canonical had no influence on the symptoms (regex was: /^([^@]+)@atoth\.sote\.hu$/ ${1}). Also tried virtual conversion and lda. Nothing solved the fricking problem. I ended up using a workaround I'm ashamed to share. I kept passdb pam, but for userdb I created a userdb-file, where I included users both with the local name only and the full email address. This shameful concept is functional, but I have to admit it is disappointing: several ways back and forth for solving an issue were all unsuccessful. And it is exhausting. Any ideas appreciated.

Debian 13 Dovecot 2.4.1 LMTP Error Absent ~/sieve
by Conrad T. Pino 14 Aug '26

14 Aug '26

Hello Dovecot List, Our upgrade from Debian 9 Dovecot 2.2.27 to Debian 13 Dovecot 2.4.1 went well. Only recently we added a new mailbox and LMTP delivery failed. Dovecot redacted error from Postfix log: 451 4.2.0 <user@domain> Temporarily unable to access necessary Sieve scripts (in reply to end of DATA command)) Dovecot redacted errors from Dovecot log: dovecot[736]: lmtp(user@domain): Error: sieve: file storage: Performing t_readlink() on active sieve symlink '(null)' failed: readlink() failed: Bad address dovecot[736]: lmtp(user@domain): Error: sieve: Failed to access active Sieve script in parsonal storage 'default': Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. [2026-08-13] (temporary failure) LMTP delivery works after manually creating ~/sieve directory with correct permissions. I know a PostfixAdmin postcreation script can automate directory creation. Have I overlooked Dovecot setting to have Dovecot create ~/sieve directory during LMTP delivery? Best regards, Conrad T. Pino
