Fwd: zlib errors after upgrading to 2.3.11.3
by Robert Nowotny 03 Sep '20

03 Sep '20

Dear Aki, I switched to "gz" now, since "zstd" also gave some errors on writing to files. I dont know if "xz" compression or "zstd" shreddered my MDBOX Files, but I lost 4 days of mail. (a couple of thousand mails). After restoring the backup (what was made after switching to version 2.3.11.3) I still have some broken mdfiles, but not too many. Interestingly always in the "Sent" Mailbox on a number of Users. I just can not go back to 20.08.2020 before I updated to 2.3.11.3 - too many emails would have been lost. So - the current status is 2.3.11.3, with "gz" compression. I force-synced and re-indexed all the mdbox files (250 GB), but still have some broken - please how can I fix those ? You stated : (In theory you could leave the existing mails xz-compressed, but best would be to re-compress everything via dsync so old mails can be read when we eventually remove xz support.) what is the optimal way to do that, expecially not loosing the index (?) for outlook/thunderbird, for third party tools that rely on some index/hash (dunno how exactly that works) ?

submission message quota
by Gerry 03 Sep '20

03 Sep '20

Hello, I am trying to come up with a way to have individual quotas per user for the submission service. Similar to what I could achieve with Postfix and policyd. More specifically, the quota I am most interested in, is limiting the number of messages a single account can send within a given timeframe. Ideally, I'd also like to limit the number of total recipients within a given timeframe, to mitigate the loophole of adding multiple recipients to a single message. Example: account Y is allowed to send 500 messages per 60 minutes, with a maximum of 2000 recipients overall. What would be the best path to take? Thanks! Gerry

Hi, Recently we upgraded to Dovecot 2.3.11.3 and configured an example metric like this: metric imap_command { event_name = imap_command_finished group_by = cmd_name tagged_reply_state user remote_ip } And enabled the OpenMetrics listener like this: service stats { inet_listener http { port = 5000 } } While the result is great, I noticed that some metrics are being truncated (three dots at the end of the label value): dovecot_imap_command_duration_usecs_sum{cmd_name="FETCH",tagged_reply_state="OK",user="xxxxxxxxxxx.inbox@xxxxxxxxxxxxx…",remote_ip="XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:cc6b:cc7a:d…"} 2346 1598055662473 I couldn't find this information in the documentation so I'm wondering if this is a bug. Thank you for your time. Regards, Daan

Mail replication does not work
by Pavel Just 02 Sep '20

02 Sep '20

Hi, I have installed two Debian 10.5 (SSH server) systems and I would like replicate mails between them. But the replication is very unstable. Before start of dovecot Source mailbox: 278 messages, Destination mailbox: 0 messages Another mailbox: 16887 messages, D.. 0 messages After start of dovecot Source mailbox: 278 messages, Destination mailbox: 303 messages Another mailbox: 16887 messages, Dest..: 31904 messages In many cases replication hangs. Error message is in the end of the message. If replication hangs, after restart a lot of mail are copied from destination back to source and mailbox grows without new messages. Postfix was stopped during replication. Please, what is wrong in my configuration (except security :-) ? -- Pavel # 2.3.11.3 (502c39af9): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.5.11 (6c69c917) # OS: Linux 4.19.0-10-amd64 x86_64 Debian 10.5 # Hostname: mail.simac.cz disable_plaintext_auth = no doveadm_password = # hidden, use -P to show it first_valid_uid = 1001 last_valid_uid = 32000 mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u mail_plugins = " notify replication" mail_privileged_group = mail mail_temp_dir = /var/tmp 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 index ihave duplicate mime foreverypart extracttext namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = } passdb { driver = pam } plugin { mail_replica = tcp:192.168.240.2:12345 sieve = file:~/sieve;active=~/.dovecot.sieve } protocols = " imap sieve pop3" service aggregator { fifo_listener replication-notify-fifo { mode = 0666 user = root } unix_listener replication-notify { mode = 0666 user = root } } service doveadm { inet_listener { port = 12345 ssl = no } } service replicator { process_min_avail = 1 unix_listener replicator-doveadm { mode = 0666 user = root } } service stats { unix_listener stats-reader { mode = 0666 user = root } unix_listener stats-writer { mode = 0666 user = root } } ssl = no userdb { driver = passwd } protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = " notify replication sieve" } protocol lda { mail_plugins = " notify replication sieve" } ____________________________________ Error message ________________ Sep 2 14:08:00 backup dovecot: doveadm: Panic: file mbox-lock.c: line 796 (mbox_lock): assertion failed: (lock_type == F_RDLCK || mbox->mbox_lock_type != F_RDLCK) Sep 2 14:08:00 backup dovecot: doveadm: Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(backtrace_append+0x3d) [0x7f300ef00eed] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(backtrace_get+0x1e) [0x7f300ef0100e] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0xf465b) [0x7f300ef0a65b] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0xf46f1) [0x7f300ef0a6f1] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x514a6) [0x7f300ee674a6] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(+0x438e5) [0x7f300f0108e5] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mbox_save_begin+0x6fd) [0x7f300f05fa7d] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mailbox_save_begin+0x92) [0x7f300f0299e2] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_storage_copy+0x89) [0x7f300f01c4e9] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lib15_notify_plugin.so(+0x246f) [0x7f300e71846f] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(+0x5cb3c) [0x7f300f029b3c] -> dovecot/doveadm-server(+0x4f805) [0x556ee519a805] -> dovecot/doveadm-server(+0x501f7) [0x556ee519b1f7] -> dovecot/doveadm-server(dsync_mailbox_import_changes_finish+0x164) [0x556ee519dba4] -> dovecot/doveadm-server(dsync_brain_sync_mails+0x735) [0x556ee5198e85] -> dovecot/doveadm-server(dsync_brain_run+0x218) [0x556ee5194858] -> dovecot/doveadm-server(+0x49eae) [0x556ee5194eae] -> dovecot/doveadm-server(+0x5aa6f) [0x556ee51a5a6f] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_call_io+0x69) [0x7f300ef20989] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run_internal+0x131) [0x7f300ef21ed1] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0x4c) [0x7f300ef20a2c] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x40) [0x7f300ef20ba0] -> dovecot/doveadm-server(+0x2e20e) [0x556ee517920e] -> dovecot/doveadm-server(+0x2fa56) [0x556ee517aa56] -> dovecot/doveadm-server(+0x45cad) [0x556ee5190cad] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_call_io+0x69) [0x7f300ef20989] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run_internal+0x131) [0x7f300ef21ed1] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0x4c) [0x7f300ef20a2c] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x40) [0x7f300ef20ba0] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(master_service_run+0x13) [0x7f300ee9a9c3] Sep 2 14:08:00 backup dovecot: doveadm: Fatal: master: service(doveadm): child 1977 killed with signal 6 (core dumps disabled - https://dovecot.org/bugreport.html#coredumps)

Incremental purge?
by Jesus Cea 02 Sep '20

02 Sep '20

I am using mdbox storage format. As far as I know, “doveadm purge” does a complete purge. The time and disk activity would be proportional to the number mdbox files on the storage. The purge time could be huge. I wonder if there is some way of doing a kind of incremental purge, stopping/restarting purging, etc. Purging by file range would be nice too. Advice?

Dovecot Proxy
by Thoralf Rickert-Wendt 02 Sep '20

02 Sep '20

Hello everyone, it's my first post here on this mailing list and I hope, I make it right. I posted a question on https://serverfault.com/questions/1031441/dovecot-as-proxy-with-submission and nobody was able to answer it. So I decided to push that question here (I'm talking about any new dovecot version and I've tested it with 2.3.4.1 (f79e8e7e4)). I try to run a dovecot proxy in front of a big number of mail servers (serving SMTP-in, submission, IMAP, POP3, Sieve). I need that proxy, because I run out of IPv4 addresses. Of course I use IPv6 too, but many customers still have problems with there providers and they really don't want to share their mails on a "shared-mailserver". I planed to use Dovecot for IMAPS, POP3S, SMTP-submission(465) and postfix for the rest. If I find a solution for sieve, I would try that too, but that is very optional. With the documentation https://wiki1.dovecot.org/HowTo/ImapProxy (which is really old and should be updated) and some other ascii docs (from an Apple mirror somewhere deep in the web) I was able to build a IMAP/POP3 proxy that forwards requests from outside to a specific backend using SSL (993,995). That works - I think.You can find the config on the serverfault page. In general - all known domains in backend are using SSL and the passdb forwards all requests to the backend via SSL. So - I understand:|| |password_query = SELECT NULL AS password, NULL AS destuser, host, 'Y' AS nologin, 'Y' AS nodelay, 'Y' AS nopassword, 'Y' AS proxy, 'any-cert' AS `ssl` FROM proxy_domain WHERE domain = '%d' | But that is only 50% of the show. The rest ist submission (and maybe sieve). Practically the submission implementation in dovecot works too. But because dovecot by default only opens port 587 (starttls), my passdb setting has a problem. When I try to use that port Dovecot tries to use SSL on the backend/587 too - but that is wrong (it should either use 465 or should try to use starttls). So, I have the following options. - find a way to configure dovecot-proxy to listen on 465 with SSL for submission service and hope that it uses the same port - but I didn't find any documentation for that and need help - find a way to configure dovecot-proxy/passdb to return starttls=y when dovecot-submission is used (use a different passdb) - but I didn't find any documentation for that and I'm not sure, if this worls on service/protocol level - find a way to configure the passdb answer based on the used port/protocol. But I only know the parameter %u, %d and %p. - so it would be nice to find a way to also select the protocol (if already developed) - find a way to make a patch in dovecot (which isn't easy for me, because I don't really know the code) Has somebody an idea, how I can configure the dovecot-proxy in that way. bye Thoralf
