Notification "API" for external replication
by Heiko Schlittermann 31 Jul '23

31 Jul '23

Hi Aki and all the Dovecot team, thank you for your work on Dovecot. As the "built-in" replication is going to cease (I do not want to discuss the reasoning or any judgement here): Can you (the Dovecot developers) ensure that a kind of "notification socket"¹ will be there, even if you do not provide a the replicator feature? And - but that's already a feature request - could you use this (or an other socket) for notifications on sieve script changes? I can imagine using this socket as an "official" interface to external software. Actually that would implicate that the notification messages are documented and stable, but I'm sure, this would be possible (if not done already). ¹) That is how I understand the current mechanism of the replication: the replicator gets a notification via the socket and starts replicating the mailbox.

Accessing SSL parameters via dovecot variables
by Graham Leggett 26 Jul '23

26 Jul '23

Hi all, Dovecot supports variables, which can be used in filters. Does the SSL code expose variables linked to the client certificate? The answer today appears to be no, and if that’s true I plan to patch it, but just need to confirm I am not missing something. Regards, Graham —

Filtering by SASL auth mechanism
by Graham Leggett 26 Jul '23

26 Jul '23

Hi all, I want dovecot to behave differently depending on what SASL mechanism was used. Most specifically, if EXTERNAL, I want auth_ssl_username_from_cert to be yes, but no otherwise. There is a filtering mechanism that supports protocol, remote, etc. https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/config_file/ Would it make sense to add a SASL mechanism filter like this: mechanism external { # … } Regards, Graha —

SASL External and LDAP - Login attempt with empty password
by Graham Leggett 25 Jul '23

25 Jul '23

Hi all, I am trying to configure dovecot to accept SASL EXTERNAL authentication with a client certificate and no password. I have tried the following configuration: passdb { driver = ldap # Path for LDAP configuration file, see example-config/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap-external.conf.ext mechanisms = external default_fields = noauthenticate=y } In the logs I see dovecot correctly negotiate SASL EXTERNAL, but eventually we reach this line and we fail: https://github.com/dovecot/core/blob/34a18f5a79bf7eca58e55aff3e1fe69468292d… Which is in turn reached by following this code: https://github.com/dovecot/core/blob/34a18f5a79bf7eca58e55aff3e1fe69468292d… In theory, if I understand this correctly, what is missing is a field to say “don’t try check any password”, which field is this supposed to be? “nopassword”? “noauthenticate”? I am happy to patch this, but need some guidance as what the correct approach is. Regards, Graham —

Quota possibly overcomplicating, need sanity check?
by David Mehler 25 Jul '23

25 Jul '23

Hello, New setup and trying to get quotas going. It's a Dovecot/Postfix/Mariadb virtual user setup. In my db I have a varchar field called quota with a default value of 128. Here's what I have in dovecot configs for quota: # Plugins mail_plugins = acl mail_crypt quota service stats { fifo_listener stats-mail { user = vmail mode = 0644 } inet_listener { address = 127.0.0.1 port = 24242 } } # quota status service quota-status { executable = quota-status -p postfix unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-quota { user = postfix group = postfix mode = 0660 } client_limit = 1 } # Quota warnings service quota-warning { executable = script /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh user = vmail unix_listener quota-warning { group = vmail mode = 0660 user = vmail } } plugin { quota = count:User quota quota2 = maildir:Shared quota:ns=public/ quota_max_mail_size = 100M # Required for 'count' quota driver quota_vsizes = yes quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+10%% quota_rule = *:storage=1G quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=100M quota_rule3 = SPAM:ignore quota_warning = storage=100%% quota-warning +100 %u quota_warning2 = storage=95%% quota-warning +95 %u quota_warning3 = storage=80%% quota-warning +80 %u quota_warning4 = -storage=100%% quota-warning -100 %u # user is no longer over quota quota_exceeded_message = User %u has exhausted allowed storage space. quota_grace = 10%% # 10% is the default quota_status_success = DUNNO quota_status_nouser = DUNNO quota_status_overquota = "552 5.2.2 Mailbox is full" ## Stats ### how often to session statistics (must be set) stats_refresh = 30 secs ### track per-IMAP command statistics (optional) stats_track_cmds = yes } The protocol imap has the imap_quota plugin and protocol lmtp has the quota plugin. I've also got lmtp_rcpt_check_quota = yes mailbox_list_index = yes In my dovecot-sql.conf file my user query looks like this: user_query = SELECT concat('*:storage=', quota, 'M') AS quota_rule FROM accounts WHERE username = '%Ln' AND domain = '%Ld' AND sendonly = false; Postfix checks: check_policy_service unix:private/dovecot-quota Am I overcomplicating? Thanks. Dave.

mail_crypt on existing mailstore
by David Mehler 25 Jul '23

25 Jul '23

Hello, I've got a pre-existing mailstore, it's a Postfix/Dovecot/Mariadb virtual-user setup, with users and mailboxes. I'd now like to get mail_crypt going. Can I do this with this existing store or if not how would I set this up? Thanks. Dave.

subscription, dots and subscribe to shared folder.
by Julien Nadal 24 Jul '23

24 Jul '23

Hello; We were able to set up shared folders in a cluster (using dovecot as proxy on dedicated front-end servers, without using director) by following https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/shared_mailboxes/cluster_setup/. Here is our related conf on imap farms (dovecot v2.3.16 on Almalinux): namespaces: mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir namespace default { inbox = yes location = prefix = separator = / } namespace shared { list = children location = imapc:~/shared/%%u:INDEXPVT=~/shared-pvt/%%u prefix = shared/%%u/ separator = / subscriptions = no type = shared } imapc settings: imapc_features = fetch-bodystructure fetch-headers rfc822.size search modseq acl delay-login imapc_host = XXXXXX imapc_master_user = %{user} imapc_password = XXXXXX imapc_port = XXXXXX passdb { args = password=#hidden_use-P_to_show# userdb_namespace/shared/disabled=yes userdb_acl_user=%{auth_user} allow_nets=XXXXX/XX driver = static master = yes } dict { acl-mysql = mysql:/etc/dovecot/conf.d/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext } This way, a folder is created under ~/ : shared & shared-pvt : When user A shares a folder with B, B will find ~/shared/userA/sharedfolder I should mention that the user authentication (backend: mysql) uses the full email address as we are in a multi-tenant context. So the folder looks like ~/shared/usera(a)domain.tld/folder Since then, everything works perfectly, we can share and see the shared folders in the webmail (SOGo). Unfortunately, accessing these folders through an imap client (tested on Thunderbird and MSOutlook) is impossible because the subscription fails (the folder is listed, but the subscription doesn't seem to do anything). I could not find any relevant logs but I was able to confirm on the command line: I am able to view folder with LIST, subscribe with an "OK" output, but the folder is not listed with LSUB. So I could see that the subscribtion file in maildir shows incorrect entries: V 2 Sent Trash Drafts Junk shared/testuser1@sub domain tld/INBOX/folder The dots in the folder names are replaced by tabs. I was able to recover things by editing the file as follows: Sent Trash Drafts Junk shared/testuser1(a)sub.domain.tld/INBOX/folder This means that Maildir++ and V2 subscription can't handle dots in folders. I found a previous discussion: https://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2021-January/121233.html But the final advice can't be applied on our side: - changing LAYOUT to FS is not possible for us - we have already migrated the dot separator to slash - changing the layout only for shared namespaces does not solve the problem and totally breaks the access to shared folders. Thanks a lot for your advice Best regards Julien

Outlook and IMAP Flags
by Laura Smith 22 Jul '23

22 Jul '23

Hi I've tried searching the internet, but the only thing I can find is a post on a MIcrosoft forum where a Microsoft reps claims flags are not supported on IMAP (I thought it was an RFC3501 feature ?). Anyway, I have a user who has Outlook/Windows on desktop and iOS (iPhone/iPad) for remote. On the iOS devices, the user can happily set flags against messages with zero issues. And indeed, when they set these flags, they are shown in Outlook. However if they attempt to set the flag in Outlook, nothing happens. Outlook continues showing the message as if it was unflagged. Any ideas ? Laura

Exclude folders from fts xapian on a per-user basis
by Adam Kessel 21 Jul '23

21 Jul '23

Is there any way for a user to specify folders they want excluded from fts xapian indexing? Or can this only be done globally in /etc?
