download from pigeonhole.dovecot.org not possible via IPv6 http
by Wolfgang Zenker 28 Oct '21

Hello, I tried to download the dovecot-2.3-pigeonhole-0.5.15.tar.gz source archive from http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3-pigeonhole-0.5.15.ta… on an IPv6-only server, but the download fails. The server pigeonhole.dovecot.org has an IPv6 address published in DNS that is actually pingable, but connection on the http-port is not possible. Connecting on https does work, as does http AND https on IPv4. This appears to be a simple configuration problem and should be easily fixed; the correct behaviour would be to redirect from http to https on IPv6 the same way it is done for IPv4 already. Greetings, Wolfgang

dovecot oauth

Hello, I upgraded my servers from Debian Buster (v10) to Bullseye (v11). Before the upgrade, I had Roundcube / Dovecot working with LemonLdap (via OAuth). After the upgrade, i can't connect to Roundcube anymore. - roundcube (v1.5-rc) stayed the same - Dovecot upgraded from v1:2.3.4.1-5+deb10u6 to v1:2.3.13+dfsg1-2 I already discussed on the LemonLdap mailing list and the analysis was: "Seems like your app is not sending client_id and client_secret correctly then It can do that either as POST parameters or in the Authorization header" I downgraded Dovecot to Buster version (v1:2.3.4.1-5+deb10u6) and Roundcube / Dovecot are working again. What could have change between these 2 versions to have that error? My dovecot Oauth config: ---- debug = yes ## url for verifying token validity. Token is appended to the URL tokeninfo_url = https://auth.mydomain.name/oauth2/userinfo?access_token= ## introspection endpoint, used to gather extra fields and other information. introspection_url = https://auth.mydomain.name/oauth2/introspect ## How introspection is made, valid values are ## auth = GET request with Bearer authentication ## get = GET request with token appended to URL ## post = POST request with token=bearer_token as content introspection_mode = post ## TLS settings tls_ca_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt ## username attribute in response (default: email) username_attribute = email ---- The error I found in the logs: ---- ==> nginx/portal.log <== 11.22.33.44 - - [25/Oct/2021:16:31:59 +0200] "POST /oauth2/introspect HTTP/1.1" 401 355 "-" "dovecot-oauth2-passdb/2.3.13" - ==> error <== Oct 25 16:31:59 XXX LLNG[413575]: [error] No authentication provided to get token, or authentication type not supported ==> mail.log <== Oct 25 16:31:59 XXX dovecot[1390]: auth: Debug: http-client: conn 11.22.33.44:443 [12]: Got 401 response for request [Req72: POST https://auth.mydomain.name/oauth2/introspect] Unauthorized (took 705 ms + 0 ms in queue) Oct 25 16:31:59 XXX dovecot[1390]: auth: Error: oauth2(yyyyy(a)mydomain.name,127.0.0.1,<bTQoOS7PRLV/AAAB>): oauth2 failed: Object doesn't begin with '{' ---- Thanks, Kenny

Doveadm fetch slow and 100%CPU with a specific message-id
by Alessio Cecchi 25 Oct '21

Hi, I'm using doveadm fetch in order to find the mailbox where a messagge is stored: doveadm fetch -u alessio(a)domain.com "mailbox" HEADER Message-ID '1234(a)domain.com' If the messagge-id is ... long more than? ... I don't know, the lookup is very very slow, here an example: with message-id 9c102380c557e7e146a33cb4b49ab802(a)cbweb.cecchi.net respons time: 3 secs with message-id kZ1ZoAa8QnsfZ64hTe9P3K0OOjL24xTq7vUMB3Qw3E(a)www.myxmail.com response time: 80 secs and java/solr use the 100% CPU Both messages are in the same folder (Trash) If I add -D to doveadm it stuck some seconds every time connect to Solr: Oct 25 18:30:08 doveadm(alessio(a)domain.com): Debug: http-client: queue http://127.0.0.1:8983: Connection to peer 127.0.0.1:8983 claimed request [Req1: GET http://127.0.0.1:8983/solr/dovecot/select?wt=xml&fl=uid,score&rows=26&sort=…] Oct 25 18:30:08 doveadm(alessio(a)domain.com): Debug: http-client: conn 127.0.0.1:8983 [1]: Claimed request [Req1: GET http://127.0.0.1:8983/solr/dovecot/select?wt=xml&fl=uid,score&rows=26&sort=…] Oct 25 18:30:08 doveadm(alessio(a)domain.com): Debug: http-client: request [Req1: GET http://127.0.0.1/solr/dovecot/select?wt=xml&fl=uid,score&rows=26&sort=uid+a…...: Sent header Oct 25 18:30:08 doveadm(alessio(a)domain.com): Debug: http-client: peer 127.0.0.1:8983: No more requests to service for this peer (1 connections exist, 0 pending) [...] Oct 25 18:30:08 doveadm(alessio(a)domain.com): Debug: http-client: queue http://127.0.0.1:8983 My dovecot version is 2.3.16 and Solr 7.7.

Hi, Old (and production) version : dovecot --version 2.1.9 New version : dovecot --version 2.3.16 (7e2e900c1a) Exactly same configuration, for shared configuration : namespace { list = children location = maildir:%%h/Maildir:INDEX=~/Maildir/shared/%%u prefix = shared/%%u/ separator = / subscriptions = yes type = shared } But : On Old version, with my imap client (Thunderbird), I see : <account> / shared / <shared account> / INBOX <account> / shared / <shared account> / all the others folders On new version, I see : <account> / shared / <shared account> / all the others folders But not <account> / shared / <shared account> / INBOX I debug it, and seem to be OK : doveadm acl debug -u <account> shared/<shared account>/INBOX doveadm(<account>): Info: Mailbox 'INBOX' is in namespace 'shared/<shared account>/' doveadm(<account>): Info: Mailbox path: /home/dovecotmail/<shared account>/Maildir doveadm(<account>): Info: All message flags are shared across users in mailbox doveadm(<account>): Info: User <account> has rights: lookup read write write-seen write-deleted insert post expunge create delete admin doveadm(<account>): Info: Mailbox found from dovecot-acl-list doveadm(<account>): Info: User <shared account> found from ACL shared dict doveadm(<account>): Info: Mailbox shared/<shared account>/INBOX is visible in LIST And in debug log : Oct 23 12:35:01 imap(<account>)<18244><IrkoZALP4eRQfHif>: Debug: Mailbox shared/<shared account>: Rotated transaction log /home/dovecotmail/<account>/Maildir/shared/<shared account>/.INBOX/dovecot.index.log (seq=982, reset=no) Oct 23 12:35:01 imap(<account>)<18244><IrkoZALP4eRQfHif>: Debug: Mailbox shared/<shared account>: Recreated /home/dovecotmail/<account>/Maildir/shared/<shared account>/.INBOX/dovecot.index (file_seq=982) because: .log file format version 1.2 is too old Debug is ok for me ?

doveconf non-syntax check
by William Edwards 23 Oct '21

23 Oct '21

I use doveconf to check if my config is valid: root@unix:/etc/dovecot# doveconf <My config as stdout, as expected> root@unix:/etc/dovecot# echo $? 0 doveconf doesn't report any errors, as my config is syntactically valid. However, due to a non-syntax error, Dovecot doesn't start: root@unix:/etc/dovecot# ls /usr/local/snicerts/thisdoesntexist.key ls: cannot access '/usr/local/snicerts/thisdoesntexist.key': No such file or directory root@unix:/etc/dovecot# dovecot -F doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf line 4: ssl_key: Can't open file /usr/local/snicerts/thisdoesntexist.key: No such file or directory root@unix:/etc/dovecot# echo $? 89 Does Dovecot provide a config checker that checks more than just the syntax, but also issues like the one above? If not, maybe it's useful to add a 'quiet' option (i.e. no stdout) to doveconf. -- With kind regards, William Edwards

logging for doveadm replicator?
by Norman King 23 Oct '21

23 Oct '21

Hi. We have a doveadm replicator config set up to do 2 way sync of all users on our mail server. Currently running doveadm replicator status gives the following. ``` root@mail:~# doveadm replicator status Queued 'sync' requests 0 Queued 'high' requests 0 Queued 'low' requests 1 Queued 'failed' requests 0 Queued 'full resync' requests 677 Waiting 'failed' requests 4 Total number of known users 1577 ``` Is there anything i can do to get these full resyncs to happen faster? doveadm replicator dsync-status routinely shows most of the slots as not connected. Where can i start to either see logs of the replicator plugin to see if i can diagnose why it's so far behind? or is there a way to force these syncs to happen faster? Thanks. -- regards Norman King Compass Foundation sysadmin/tech support Phone, 856-974-5335 ext 221 support(a)compassfoundation.io Website <https://compassfoundation.io>

Create a separated mailbox for archived mails
by Claudio Corvino 22 Oct '21

22 Oct '21

Hi, I have an MTA configured with Postfix that deliver email to an IMAP/LMTP Dovecot server version 2.3.4.1 configured to bind LDAP/AD for users. I would like to configure Dovecot to create another mailbox to archive mails of users to a separated NFS mount. Here is my /dovecot-ldap.conf/: [...] /ldap_version=3// //auth_bind = yes// //dn = XXX// //dnpass = XXX// //scope = subtree// //user_attrs = sAMAccountName=home=/mnt/mail-storage-dev/%$,=uid=501,=gid=501// //pass_attrs = sAMAccountName=user// //user_filter = (&(objectclass=person)(samaccountname=%n))// //pass_filter= (&(objectclass=person)(samaccountname=%n))/ [...] I think I will add another conf file, let's say /dovecot-ldap-archive.conf /using "url" as LDAP/AD filed to distinguish from normal users: [...] /ldap_version=3// //auth_bind = yes// //dn = XXX// //dnpass = XXX// //scope = subtree// //user_attrs = url=home=/mnt/mail-storage-archive/%$,=uid=501,=gid=501// //pass_attrs = url=user// //user_filter = (&(objectclass=person)(url=%n))// //pass_filter= (&(objectclass=person)(url=%n))/ [...] I then added to "test" user a "url" filed into Active Directory named /test-archive//, b/ut it's not working, when I bind Dovecot with: /doveadm user test-archive/ I receive: /field value// //userdb lookup: user test-archive doesn't exist/ With test user it works: /doveadm user test// //field value// //uid 501// //gid 501// //home /mnt/mail-storage-dev/test// //mail maildir:~/Maildir:INDEX=/var/indexes/test/ What I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance! // -- *Claudio Corvino IT Systems Administrator*

local_name in dovecot for SNI and wildcard
by Alessio Cecchi 20 Oct '21

20 Oct '21

Hi, in dovecot configuration the options "local_name" can support wildcard domain name (es. *.mailserver.com)? This because we have a wildcard SSL certificate and I prefer to specifica a wildcard name instead of single. Is fine this? local_name *.mailserver.com { ssl_cert = </etc/dovecot/ssl/mailserver.com.pem ssl_key = </etc/dovecot/ssl/mailserver.com.key } And local_name can support multiple hostname in the same line? local_name pop.mailserver.com imap.mailserver.com { ssl_cert = </etc/dovecot/ssl/mailserver.com.pem ssl_key = </etc/dovecot/ssl/mailserver.com.key } Thanks -- Alessio Cecchi Postmaster @ http://www.qboxmail.it https://www.linkedin.com/in/alessice

dovecot-lda -> lmtp server ?
by Scott Q. 17 Oct '21

17 Oct '21

I'm stuck with using Qmail which has no LMTP support, and thus I'm using dovecot-lda which has certain drawbacks. Has anyone found a way to direct dovecot-lda to deliver the mail to the LMTP server or any other way for Qmail to deliver the mail to the LMTP server directly ? Thanks!
