dovecot virtual users with sendmail, my solution
by Christopher McCrory 18 May '22

18 May '22

Hello... I wanted to use dovecot virtual users with sendmail. As you probably know, this doesn't work by default. The more scalable solution is probably to use LDAP, but I really don't like it. This is how I did it https://github.com/chrismcc-gmail/dovecot-virtual-sendmail Basically I abused glibc's db feature in /etc/nsswitch in /var/db/Makefile something like this: $(VAR_DB)/passwd.db: /etc/dovecot/usersfile @printf %s "$(patsubst %.db,%,$(@F))... " @$(AWK) 'BEGIN { FS=":"; OFS=":" } \ /^[ \t]*$$/ { next } \ /^[ \t]*#/ { next } \ /^root/ { next } \ /^[^#]/ { printf ".%s ", $$1; \ printf "%s:x:65534:65534:%s:/home/vmail/%s:/sbin/nologin\n", $$1, $$1, $$1; \ }' $^ | \ $(MAKEDB) -o $@ - @echo "done." make -C /var/db getent passwd ; shows ... virtualuser:x:65534:65534:virtualuser:/home/vmail/virtualuser:/sbin/nologin othervuser:x:65534:65534:othervuser:/home/vmail/othervuser:/sbin/nologin A longer explanation and more info is in the github repository It takes about 10 minutes to go from new clean server to working email server with this I've been running this in production for about a week now without any problems. Question: Has anyone else done this? I don't see any downsides, but I might be missing something. -- Christopher McCrory To the optimist, the glass is half full.

Preventing deletion of mails in some directories?
by Philip Rhoades 18 May '22

18 May '22

People, I can't get the system "chattr" to do what I want so I am wondering if there is some way to prevent deletion of mails in the INBOX and the Sent folders? Renaming and moving files needs to be possible for Maildir functions and also for me - so I only need deletion prevention . . Is this possible from Dovecot? Thanks, Phil. -- Philip Rhoades PO Box 896 Cowra NSW 2794 Australia E-mail: phil(a)pricom.com.au

Can sync/migrate all mail from remote imap account except the main "INBOX"
by Darren Mobley 18 May '22

18 May '22

Greetings! I've been trying to sync my email to a server, however it only syncs the mail in folders other than INBOX. For testing purposes, I've created a fake domain, "letest.tld" and a new empty user account "mailto:saywhatnow@letest.tld" to receive the copy of the mail being migrated. What I've been trying are iterations of: /usr/bin/doveadm -D -o mail_fsync=never -o dsync_features=empty-header-workaround -o imapc_ssl=imaps -o imapc_features=rfc822.size,fetch-headers -o dsync_commit_msgs_interval=100 -o imapc_port=993 -o imapc_host=imap.zoho.com -o imapc_password=NoNoTRe4LLyMyP4$$ -o imapc_user=mailto:decker@n3t.net -o mail_prefetch_count=20 sync -1Ru mailto:saywhatnow@letest.tld imapc: Regardless of running sync -1 or backup (I want to keep original mailbox as-is for now) I get errors related to INBOX.

I'm using dovecot version 2.3.18 (9dd8408c18) on a cPanel server. `dovecot -n` output attached. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Darren

Dovecot and RFC6856
by Tan Mientras 17 May '22

17 May '22

Hi. Just after upgrading *courier* from an old version, we are receiving warning messages instead of mails stating: "This E-mail message was determined to be Unicode-formatted but your E-mail reader does not support Unicode E-mail." warnings. It looks much like: *https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1571672 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1571672>* https://talk.plesk.com/threads/messages-with-unicode-unable-to-pick-up-via-… it seems, malformed mails (they showed errors before migration, but they were shown at least!) are handled incorrectly by thunderbird and the only option is to *revert backwards or migrate to dovecot*. *Does dovecot also implement RFC8656*? Will the same happen if we migrate to dovecot? Any plans for future adoption of that RFC?

Shared mailboxes, users with dots and a bug in subscriptions
by Tobias Stein 17 May '22

17 May '22

Hi, i'm running Dovecot 2.3.14.alpha0 with shared namespaces and stumbled across some errors messages logged, when the list of subscribed mailboxes is queried by a client. For every distinct account of in the list of subscriptions two corresponding lines are logged: Jan 28 11:42:34 mx1 dovecot: auth: missing passwd file: /etc/dovecot/private/example/users Jan 28 11:42:34 mx1 dovecot: auth: missing passwd file: /etc/dovecot/private/example/users Jan 28 11:42:34 mx1 dovecot: auth: missing passwd file: /etc/dovecot/private/example/users Jan 28 11:42:36 mx1 dovecot: imap(example_user(a)example.com)<3638><xl6li/O5VsVfWxyn>: Error: mkdir(/var/run/dovecot/user-not-found/noc@example) failed: Permission denied (euid=109(vmail) egid=118(vmail) missing +w perm: /var/run/dovecot, dir owned by 0:0 mode=0755) Jan 28 11:42:36 mx1 dovecot: imap(example_user(a)example.com)<3638><xl6li/O5VsVfWxyn>: Error: mkdir(/var/run/dovecot/user-not-found/info@example) failed: Permission denied (euid=109(vmail) egid=118(vmail) missing +w perm: /var/run/dovecot, dir owned by 0:0 mode=0755) Jan 28 11:42:36 mx1 dovecot: imap(example_user(a)example.com)<3638><xl6li/O5VsVfWxyn>: Error: mkdir(/var/run/dovecot/user-not-found/root@example) failed: Permission denied (euid=109(vmail) egid=118(vmail) missing +w perm: /var/run/dovecot, dir owned by 0:0 mode=0755) Similar messages are logged, when invalid entries are listed in '/var/lib/dovecot/db/shared-mailboxes', which i already pruned and haven't received them anymore since. I think these errors are caused by an unintended behaviour when writing "~/Maildir/subscriptions", which looks (shortened) like this. V 2 INBOX/INBOX shared/noc@example com/INBOX shared/info@example com/INBOX shared/root@example com/test shared/root@example com/test test_sub The subscription-file.c explodes the name on every hierarchy separator ('.','\0') and inserts a TAB character. Unfortunately it also explodes on the DNS label delimiter „.‟. This should probably be fixed by passing a structure containing the required information to the formatter to distinguish mailboxes from domain-names. Subscription in combination with multiple domains and shared mailboxes seems broken to me. Actually i can't even explain to me, why it is working in face of the errors. :-) Unfortunately in Maildir++ the separator dot is hard-coded. There is a very old thread on this mailing list, that suggests using „auth_username_translation‟ to replace dots with a different character, but this idea is getting worse the longer i think about it. I absolutely dislike the idea to set LAYOUT=fs, namespace/separator = § to change the separators to split on, because this would mean to restructure the physical layout of all mailboxes (hierarchically) and mess around with lots of files. I attached a dovecot-sysreport to reproduce the behaviour. /etc/dovecot/private/example.com/users looks like this: ### user:password:uid:gid:(gecos):home:(shell):extra_fields noc:{SSHA512}_hash_:::::: info:{SSHA512}_hash_:::::: root:{SSHA512}_hash_:::::: Please correct me if i'm wrong or point me to a workaround, but i think the layout code needs some love. :-) Best regards Tobias

Fatal Error after upgrade to 2:2.3.19-2+debian11
by Sebastian Kroczek 16 May '22

16 May '22

Hello all, I updated the server tonight and with it Dovecot from 2.2.27 to 2:2.3.19-2+debian11. However, there seems to be a problem with the ACLs, because since then fatal errors are logged (see core dump). I suspect that some outdated configuration is causing this behavior, but so far I couldn't figure out which one it could be. I also have no clue right now how to debug this further. Thank you very much for your help. If more information are needed, I will of course be happy to provide them.

TLS renegotiation issue (CVE-2011-1473) in Dovecot
by Greg Earle 16 May '22

16 May '22

Hello, At work I'm running a Dovecot 2.3.15 server on a RHEL 7.9 system with OpenSSL 1.0.2k. Our IT Security people are threatening to shut it down because of this: > We were notified of a possible TLS renegotiation vulnerability on > [FQHN]. > > [Parent organization] ticket NNNNNNN is open to track efforts. > > We conducted a manual test on the site for TLS Renegotiation on IMAP > port 993. > > We found that this was set to enabled. > > In order to remediate we will need to either: > > 1. Disable Renegotiation (preferred) > 2. Set a max aggregated renegotiation > > Please remediate as soon as possible. > > References: > > https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K15278 > > https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/cve-2011-1473 > > https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2011-1473 I did some Googling and among the results, I found a few old posts from this mailing list among them, which to summarize basically seemed to say "Yeah, we could write some code ... " but that was about it. The IT Security rep sent me a reference to an ancient Red Hat article https://access.redhat.com/articles/23543 which is hysterical - ancient history, references NSS and Tomcat, suggests changes to an add-on product (Red Hat Certificate Server) that is EOL, etc. Is there any way to mitigate this issue? (The only thing I can think of is to upgrade the Dovecot server to RHEL 8 and restrict connections to only TLSv1.3, but that ain't gonna happen overnight.) Thanks, - Greg

Duplicate messages if message is moved when using dsync
by Thom Pol 16 May '22

16 May '22

Hi, Hope you are well. We have a cluster of 2 Dovecot servers, both on v2.3.13 (89f716dc2), using dsync to sync the messages between them. Previously, we used TCPS to sync the messages, but after some testing, we concluded that syncing over SSH resulted in a lot less failed syncs, so we started using SSH. The change has been a success, but I now notice a issue when a email client immediately moves a messages to a separate folder while Dovecot is syncing, where the message is seen twice in the folder (with the exact same headers/content). For example, I have set a filter in my email client, Thunderbird, to immediately move all emails coming from this list to a separate folder. When opening that folder, I do not see one, but two unread messages, both identical to each other. When checking the directories on the server, I see this: mx1: /var/vmail/example.com/joe/Maildir/.Subdir.Subdir/cur/1652615808.M190190P990486.mx2,S=19089,W=19384:2,S /var/vmail/example.com/joe/Maildir/.Subdir.Subdir/cur/1652615811.M180050P1376677.mx1,S=19089,W=19384:2,S mx2: /var/vmail/example.com/joe/Maildir/.Subdir.Subdir/cur/1652615811.M981426P990530.mx2,S=19089,W=19384:2,S /var/vmail/example.com/joe/Maildir/.Subdir.Subdir/cur/1652615808.M190190P990486.mx2,S=19089,W=19384:2,S Note the difference: on mx1, one indicates mx1, and one mx2, while on the other server, both indicate mx2/ Any idea (other then telling end-users not to use such filters) how we could prevent these duplicate messages?

Use different log files
by Cristiano Deana 16 May '22

Hi, I have a mailserver with dovecot logging to syslog (by default, to /var/log/maillog) and my MTA (postfix) is doing the same. I use dovecot's services imap/pop3, auth and lmtp and now logs files are hard to read because I havve all together MTA and these services. Is it possibile to have different log with different services? Example: auth logging: /var/log/mail.auth delivery: /var/log/mail.delivery and so on Thank you -- ############################### # Cristiano Deana # # # # Senior Network Engineer # # Digital Response Team # # CittaStudi S.p.a. # # off. +39 015 855 1172 # # cell +39 328 310 6392 # ###############################
