[Dovecot] Bizarre permissions problem
by Bill Oliver 29 Aug '13

29 Aug '13

Help! I have been using dovecot for some years with great success. A little while ago, I changed my mail server from Fedora to CentOS linux. I reinstalled dovecot, and *almost* everything seems to be working, but one thing. There's *one* user I can't get it to work on without a workaround. The user is "newuser" and the uid is 1111 (actual name and number changed to protect the innocent). The error I get in my maillog is: The error I get in may maillog is: Aug 29 16:02:11 localbox dovecot: imap(newuser): Error: chown(/home/newuser/mail/.imap/INBOX, -1, 12(mail)) failed: Operation not permitted (egid=1111(newuser), group based on /var/mail/newuser) Aug 29 16:02:11 localbox dovecot: imap(newuser): Error: mkdir(/home/newuser/mail/.imap/INBOX) failed: Operation not permitted Aug 29 16:02:11 localbox dovecot: imap(newuser): Error: chown(/home/newuser/mail/.imap/INBOX, -1, 12(mail)) failed: Operation not permitted (egid=1111(newuser), group based on /var/mail/newuser) Aug 29 16:02:11 localbox dovecot: imap(newuser): Error: mkdir(/home/newuser/mail/.imap/INBOX) failed: Operation not permitted Aug 29 16:02:11 localbox dovecot: imap(newuser): Error: chown(/home/newuser/mail/.imap/INBOX, -1, 12(mail)) failed: Operation not permitted (egid=1111(newuser), group based on /var/mail/newuser) Aug 29 16:02:11 localbox dovecot: imap(newuser): Error: mkdir(/home/newuser/mail/.imap/INBOX) failed: Operation not permitted Aug 29 16:02:11 localbox dovecot: imap(newuser): Disconnected: Logged out bytes=108/669 Now, it looks to me like dovecot is saying that the user newuser can't get to the /home/newuser/mail/.imap directory because it doesn't have permission. However, the user newuser has all the permissions it needs: $ ls -la /home/newuser/mail total 20 drwxrw---- 3 newuser newuser 4096 Aug 29 15:01 . drwxrw---- 6 newuser newuser 4096 Aug 29 12:16 .. drwxrwx--- 2 newuser newuser 4096 Aug 29 16:05 .imap -rw-rw---- 1 newuser newuser 499 Aug 13 07:56 saved-messages -rw-rw---- 1 newuser newuser 1756 Aug 16 11:15 sent-mail newuser has the correct uid (1111) in /etc/dovecot/users newuser *is* the correct uid for that user, i.e.: $ id -u newuser 1111 the password is correct Both my web mail package (roundcube) and my android fail. Both work fine with all other accounts that are set up for imap services. The workaround, it turns out, is that if I make the directory /home/newuser/.imap/INBOX by hand as the user newuser, then things work. So, things seem to be working. However, I just don't understand why *this* user is having problems when none of the others are... The only thing that sets this user apart from any of the others is that it has administration privileges for the roundcube mailer MySQL database. Any explanations? Thanks! billo

[Dovecot] Sieve vacation reply problem (Dovecot+Sieve/Sendmail/Horde)
by megodin＠inboxalias.com 29 Aug '13

29 Aug '13

Hello Dovecot community, I have an annoying problem with successfully activating Sieve vacation replies - on which I have been working hard the last days without success :( I'm using Dovecot 2.2 + Sendmail + Sieve connected with Horde web-mailer IMP H3 which is generally working fine. BUT: Whenever I activate vacation script in Horde (via Ingo) and send a test-mail to this account, the mail itself arrives but the auto-vacation-reply failes: [mail.err] dovecot: lda(exampleuser): Error: sieve: original envelope recipient address 'exampleuser@dovecot_localhost' is unparsable [mail.warning] dovecot: lda(exampleuser): Warning: sieve: msgid=: vacation action aborted: envelope recipient is <> The Sieve Script which is generated and executed: # Sieve Filter produced by Ingo (http://www.horde.org/ingo/) (20.08.2013, 16:10) require ["vacation", "regex"]; # Abwesenheit if allof ( not exists ["list-help", "list-unsubscribe", "list-subscribe", "list-owner", "list-post", "list-archive", "list-id", "Mailing-List"], not header :comparator "i;ascii-casemap" :is "Precedence" ["list", "bulk", "junk"], not header :comparator "i;ascii-casemap" :matches "To" "Multiple recipients of*" ) { vacation :days 7 :addresses "example.user(a)example.com" :subject "vacation" "I am on vacation until xxxx. Please refer all urgent business to devnull(a)example.com ."; } I understand that Sieve is trying to send vacation replies to the envelope sender - apparently it gets it on the wrong line somewhere from the sendmail config. To get sendmail working along with Dovecot, I had to do some modifications: in /etc/mail/virtusertable (Alias with domain-path) @vlmail.example.com %1@dovecot_localhost in /etc/mail/access (allows relaying) to:dovecot_localhost RELAY in /etc/mail/mailertable (where to be relayed) dovecot_localhost dovecot:vlmail.example.com in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf (relevant part for the Dovecot Mailer specification): Mdovecot, P=/usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda, F=lDFMPhnu59, S=EnvFromSMTP/HdrFromSMTP, R=EnvToSMTP/HdrFromSMTP, U=vmail:vmail, T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix, A=/usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -d $u After several hours playing with sendmail's config I came to the end that sendmail's part must be already over when sieve is getting the original envelope recipient - it seems like it gets it from dovecot-lda. Though, when playing with the Dovecot Mailer specifications in sendmail.cf I can get different error message if I add A=/usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -d $u -a $n (adding username part in destination address): [mail.info] dovecot: lda(exampleuser): sieve: msgid=: discarding vacation response for implicitly delivered message; no known (envelope) recipient address found in message headers (recipient=, and additional `:addresses' are specified) BTW, the original mails arriving have a valid Return-Path in header... I am thinking of writing global Sieve scripts (executing before the user's private sieve script), telling Sieve to use the TO: field instead of the Envelope sender but I'm not sure if this is possible, and if, which commands are needed specifically. I really start getting desperate... Can somebody get me some clue what is wrong in my config / where I should put modifications to get sieve vacation replys working properly?! Thanks in advance!!

[Dovecot] 2.2.4 + metadata plugin: autoconf failed
by Andreas Schulze 29 Aug '13

29 Aug '13

Hello, I can compile metadata plugin using debian squeeze + wheezy. But build on suse enterprise server 9,10 and 11 failed. The metadata plugin require autoconf-2.65 which i too new. On the other side I can build the dovecot-2.2.4 and pigeonhole-0.4.0 plugin without problems: dovecot require autoconf-2.59 and pigeonhole does not require any specific autoconf version. I asked the authors of the plugin for support but got no response. Maybe somebody could review the plugin.

OK, but virtualisation also helps you mitigate this: - I setup my "containers" so that I have at least two mount points, one for the operating system and any data broken out into it's own mount. - This makes it quite simple to duplicate the container and spin up a test version pointing if required at the live data - Now you can run a test upgrade on the test container. If it works either swap them around or upgrade the original Additionally: - My choice of distro (gentoo) makes it fairly simple to build binary packages of the software I'm using. - I then use these binary packages on all my containers, additionally with guided profiles which control which packages and which options we deploy. - It's fairly simple to roll back most packages to the previous binary version if a problem is detected (logging of package changes is built-in) So it's quite low risk to use such a rolling distro in general. Note, I can't speak for other distros, but gentoo "stable" is fairly conservative and shouldn't be a problem for an experienced admin to keep up to date. It has the option to unmask "bleeding edge" packages where necessary and this can be useful to hit specific version numbers of software. It's also pretty trivial to keep a private repo of customised packages (ebuilds) with either personal patches or to pin certain versions of software. (So for example if you run, say, Dovecot with a few custom patches, then it's fairly trivial to drop these patches in a directory and now you can use the package manager to follow stable builds, but your custom patches will be rolled in for you with each update - can be very handy for some requirements) I don't have the same experience with RPM/DEB so I can't say that all the same is easy to do, but the key thing is the use of containers/virtualisation to assist with testing and upgrades. Even worst case you have to do a whole OS upgrade, at least if you can do that in a test container while the live remains running, is a big advantage Good luck Ed W

[Dovecot] Issues with dovecot-antipsam plugin
by Vijay Rajah 29 Aug '13

29 Aug '13

Hello list, I have a postfix 2.11 with dovecot 2.2.5 instance. I have configured and installed anavisd-new to use Spamassassin. I want to train the filter. For that i choose dovecot's antispam plugin using mailtrain backend. I compiled and installed the latest version of the antispam plugin from http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-antispam-plugin/rev/5ebc6aae4d7c The configuration is below. Whenever I receive an email, the LMTP process segfaults. If I comment out the antispam plugin part in the config files, all works good. THis leads me to believe the issue is with antispam plugin, or its configuration. Here is what i see in /var/log/mailllog Aug 28 23:06:31 hostname.tld postfix/qmgr[1437]: 055F6345E: from=< sender(a)example.com>, size=10370, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Aug 28 23:06:31 hostname.tld postfix/smtpd[5512]: disconnect from localhost[127.0.0.1] Aug 28 23:06:31 hostname.tld amavis[5369]: (05369-05) Passed SPAM {RelayedTaggedInbound,Quarantined}, [74.125.82.176]:51219 [74.125.82.176] < sender(a)example.com> -> <email(a)mydomain.tld>, quarantine: spam-J09TFNU33sxa.gz, Queue-ID: 3A8093119, Message-ID: < CAMGVk5vH9YzkNFJ3xnWJ0060vpuf1PPzaCHWx71AmGF_qgJTmg(a)mail.gmail.com>, mail_id: J09TFNU33sxa, Hits: 12.123, size: 9323, queued_as: 055F6345E, dkim_sd=20120113:gmail.com, 606 ms Aug 28 23:06:31 hostname.tld postfix/lmtp[5510]: 3A8093119: to=<email(a)mydomain.tld>, relay=127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024, delay=1.6, delays=0.94/0/0/0.61, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 from MTA(smtp:[127.0.0.1]:10025): 250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as 055F6345E) Aug 28 23:06:31 hostname.tld postfix/qmgr[1437]: 3A8093119: removed Aug 28 23:06:31 hostname.tld dovecot: lmtp(5514): Connect from local Aug 28 23:06:31 hostname.tld dovecot: lmtp(5514): Fatal: master: service(lmtp): child 5514 killed with signal 11 (core dumps disabled) Aug 28 23:06:31 hostname.tld postfix/lmtp[5513]: 055F6345E: to=<email(a)mydomain.tld>, relay=hostname.tld[/opt/var/postfix/dovecot-lmtp], delay=0.09, delays=0.04/0/0.04/0, dsn=4.4.2, status=deferred (lost connection with hostname.tld[/opt/var/postfix/dovecot-lmtp] while sending end of data -- message may be sent more than once) Can someone help in fixing the issue… -Thanks in advance Vijay ######doveconf -n # 2.2.5: /opt/dovecot/2.2.5/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-358.14.1.el6.x86_64 x86_64 CentOS release 6.4 (Final) ext4 auth_mechanisms = plain login digest-md5 cram-md5 auth_socket_path = /opt/var/dovecot/run/auth-userdb base_dir = /opt/var/dovecot/run/ debug_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-debug.log hostname = mail1(a)rvijay.me mail_debug = yes mail_location = maildir:/opt/mailbox/%d/%n/Maildir mail_plugin_dir = /opt/dovecot/2.2.5/lib/dovecot/ mail_plugins = " virtual quota antispam zlib" 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 ihave namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { auto = subscribe special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { auto = subscribe special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Spam { auto = subscribe } mailbox Trash { auto = subscribe special_use = \Trash } prefix = separator = / type = private } passdb { args = /opt/dovecot/2.2.5/etc/dovecot/conf.d/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } plugin { antispam_allow_append_to_spam = no antispam_backend = mailtrain antispam_mail_notspam = --ham antispam_mail_sendmail = /opt/dovecot/2.2.5/bin/sa-learn-pipe.sh antispam_mail_sendmail_args = -u vmail antispam_mail_spam = --spam antispam_mail_tmpdir = /tmp antispam_spam = Spam antispam_trash = Trash mail_log_events = delete undelete expunge copy mailbox_delete mailbox_rename mail_log_fields = uid box msgid size quota = maildir:User quota quota_grace = 10%% quota_rule = *:storage=1GB quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+10%% quota_rule3 = Spam:storage=+20%% quota_status_nouser = DUNNO quota_status_overquota = 450 4.2.2 Mailbox is full.

[Dovecot] Enforcing server cipher list order
by Phillip Odam 29 Aug '13

29 Aug '13

I noticed a similar/same discussion back on Aug 14th titled force ciphers order for clients. However from that thread I can't find quite what I'm after. From my testing of dovecot 2.1.6, by default it appears to honor the clients cipher list order for SSL/TLS connections. I can't find any documentation on dovecot providing a setting like Apache HTTPDs to either honor the client or server cipher list i.e. SSLHonorCipherOrder. Do newer versions (> 2.1.6) of dovecot either make this configurable or force honoring of the servers cipher list order? Or is the cipher selection a function that openssl performs? The version of openssl in use is 1.0.1e-fips. Thanks Phillip

[Dovecot] Bug in dovecot 2.2.5: segfault due to bad alignment
by Andreas F. Borchert 29 Aug '13

29 Aug '13

Take a look at the sources, hmac.h declares struct hmac_context: struct hmac_context { char ctx[HMAC_MAX_CONTEXT_SIZE]; char ctxo[HMAC_MAX_CONTEXT_SIZE]; const struct hash_method *hash; }; If compiled for a 32 bit virtual address space, this has an alignment requirement of 4 due to the hash pointer. In line 171 of auth-token.c, we have following declaration of ctx as a local variable in auth_token_get(): struct hmac_context ctx; This is put on an address with an alignment requirement of 4. In lines 174 and 175 hmac_init is invoked with hash_method_sha1: hmac_init(&ctx, (const unsigned char*)username, strlen(username), &hash_method_sha1); In hmac.c, lines 43 and following, ctx->ctx with an alignment of 4 is passed to meth->init and meth->loop where meth refers to hash_method_sha1: meth->init(ctx->ctx); meth->loop(ctx->ctx, k_ipad, 64); These functions refer now to sha1_init and sha1_loop where the first parameter is expected to be a pointer to struct sha1_ctxt, a data structure which is declared in sha1.h: struct sha1_ctxt { union { uint8_t b8[20]; uint32_t b32[5]; } h; union { uint8_t b8[8]; uint64_t b64[1]; } c; union { uint8_t b8[64]; uint32_t b32[16]; } m; uint8_t count; }; Here we have with b64 one uint64_t which has on a SPARC platform an alignment requirement of 8. In consequence, struct sha1_ctxt has an alignment requirement of 8. With the invocations of meth->init and meth->loop above we pass a pointer to a data structure of alignment 4 to a function expecting a pointer to a data structure of alignment 8. Chances are that the alignment requirement is not met, causing a segmentation violation. This must be solved by declaring struct hmac_context such that is not just big enough but respects also the highest alignment required for one of the hashing data structures. There are several options to do this: * Beginning with C11, you are free to use an alignment specifier, i.e. add _Alignas ( uint64_t ) (see section 6.7.5 in ISO 9899-2011) * GCC supports alignment attributes, i.e. add __attribute__ ((aligned (8))) or whatever is required instead of 8, see http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Variable-Attributes.html * Do not use a local variable for it, allocate the data structure using malloc instead.

[Dovecot] Dovecot proxy to Microsoft Exchange 2013
by Ricardo Machini Barbosa 28 Aug '13

Hello, I am trying to do a proxy with dovecot to IMAP backend server that are using Microsoft Exchange 2013. I already did this with Microsoft Exchange 2007 and Microsoft Exchange 2010 and it works perfectly! But with Microsoft Exchange 2013 I can not perform LOGIN. The error log message is: /imap-login: Error: proxy(user(a)domain.com.br): Login for exchange2013.domain.com.br:143 timed out in state=4 (after 30 secs, local=x.x.x.x:59640)/ My troubleshoot was: - tcpdump on dovecot server side: I can see the commands sent/received by Microsoft Exchange. But no the "OK LOGIN" response. /* OK The Microsoft Exchange IMAP4 service in xxxx is ready.// //C CAPABILITY// //L LOGIN "user(a)domain.com.br" "123456"// //* CAPABILITY IMAP4 IMAP4rev1 AUTH=PLAIN STARTTLS UIDPLUS CHILDREN IDLE NAMESPACE LITERAL+// //C OK CAPABILITY completed./ - tcpdump with telnet login on dovecot server side: Works fine. /* OK The Microsoft Exchange IMAP4 service in xxxx is ready.// //a login "user(a)domain.com.br" "123456"// //a OK LOGIN completed.// //a logout// //* BYE Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 IMAP4 server signing off.// //a OK LOGOUT completed./ - Log verbose on Microsoft Exchange 2013. Look like that Microsoft Exchange did not receive the login command. Someone already tried do this with Microsoft Exchange 2013 ? See bellow some information about my dovecot configuration: /# 2.2.2: dovecot.conf// //# OS: Linux 2.6.32-358.2.1.el6.centos.plus.x86_64 x86_64 CentOS release 6.4 (Final)// // //base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/// //disable_plaintext_auth = no// //listen = x.x.x.x// //mbox_write_locks = fcntl// //passdb {// // args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext// // driver = ldap// //}// // //protocols = imap pop3// //service imap-login {// // inet_listener imap {// // port = 143// // }// // inet_listener imaps {// // port = 993// // ssl = yes// // }// // process_min_avail = 4// // service_count = 0// // vsz_limit = 512 M// //}// //service pop3-login {// // inet_listener pop3 {// // port = 110// // }// // inet_listener pop3s {// // port = 995// // ssl = yes// // }// // process_min_avail = 4// // service_count = 0// // vsz_limit = 512 M// //}// //ssl_cert = </etc/dovecot/certificate/chained.crt// //ssl_key = </etc/dovecot/certificate/cert.key// //userdb {// // driver = prefetch// //}// // ///etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext// //hosts = x.x.x.x// //dn = cn=admin,o=email// //dnpass = xxxxxxx// //ldap_version = 3// //base = o=email// //scope=subtree// //pass_filter = mail=%u// //pass_attrs = uid=user,=password=,=proxy=y,mailHost=host,=nopassword=y/ Thanks, Ricardo Machini
