Is it possible to take the contents of a mailbox and feed them to the account's .active_sieve file for reprocessing? (For example, when editing the sieve file for my list account I introduced a typo, so a hundred or some list messages ended up in the inbox instead of filed properly into the maildir hierarchy. Not a huge deal, as it was simple enough to move them manually, but it got me wondering. This would also be useful for testing. -- Clarke's Law: Sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic Clark's Law: Sufficiently advanced cluelessness is indistinguishable from malice Clark Slaw: Anything that has been severely damaged or destroyed by application of Clark's Law

dovecot warns (non-fatal) "invalid EHLO response line: Unexpected character in EHLO keyword" connecting to submission relay ?
by PGNet Dev 29 Sep '20

I'm setting up an alternative submission relay host for dovecot. Atm, it's pointing @ fastmail.com. with dovecot config, submission_relay_host = smtp.fastmail.com submission_relay_port = 465 submission_relay_ssl = smtps submission_relay_ssl_verify = no submission_relay_trusted = yes submission_relay_user = 'acctID(a)mydomain.com' submission_relay_password = 'acctPWD' submission relay via dovecot proxy works as expected -- mail's delivered/received by intended recipient. in local dovecot logs I notice ==> /var/log/dovecot/dovecot.log <== 2020-09-24 16:22:19 submission(recipient(a)example.com)<xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>: Warning: smtp-client: conn smtp.fastmail.com:465 (66.111.4.140:465) [1]: Received invalid EHLO response line: Unexpected character in EHLO keyword at debug level ==> /var/log/dovecot/dovecot-debug.log <== 2020-09-24 16:22:19 submission(recipient(a)example.com)<xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>: Debug: smtp-client: conn smtp.fastmail.com:465 (66.111.4.140:465) [1]: command EHLO: Got reply (1/1): 250 mail.messagingengine.com PIPELINING SIZE 73000000 AUTH DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 NTLM LOGIN PLAIN AUTH=DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 NTLM LOGIN PLAIN ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES 8BITMIME (1 commands pending, 0 commands queued) it's clearly non-fatal, simply a warning. i certainly do _not_ see this with every relay host, so suspect it's unique to fastmail's EHLO response. at least within the set of hosts I've tested. i'd like to find/fix it ... either at my dovecot instance, or @ fastmail. what's specifically invalid about 250 mail.messagingengine.com PIPELINING SIZE 73000000 AUTH DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 NTLM LOGIN PLAIN AUTH=DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 NTLM LOGIN PLAIN ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES 8BITMIME by dovecot's 'measure'?

maildir -> sdbox migration command for _all_ accounts, with split maildir/CONTROL/INDEX locations?
by PGNet Dev 26 Sep '20

26 Sep '20

in a recent post, sven made a clear/cogent arg for sdbox vs maildir > While Maildir seems to be an obvious choice, it has some hidden > performance impacts, namely it relies heavily on information encoded in > the filename, which results in a big overhead in meta-operations, > because Dovecot needs to stat() every file in a directory to gather > those information. i've initially avoided sdbox, assuming the index-file dependency to be an additional failure pt, but that^^ is somewhat compelling. i'd like to migrate maildir -> sdbox. the given migration example $ doveadm -D -v -o backup -u sven sdbox:~/sdbox examples in the docs generally demonstrate a single user migration, from a consolidated ~/Maildir tree, and use the 'dsync ...' command (full alias?) atm, my 'mail_location' is set with split CONTROL & INDEX locations, in fs-layout, as mail_location = maildir:/data/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir:CONTROL=/data/vmail/%d/%n/_control:INDEX=/var/vmail-index/%d/%n:LAYOUT=fs:UTF-8 and I've a significant number of domains & users. I'd like to migrate the ENTIRE server -- all domain/user accounts. For the moment, I'd like to ensure that I do not change/destroy the current Maildir stores/indexes, and end up with a parallel store in mail_location = sdbox:/data/vmail/%d/%n/Sdbox:CONTROL=/data/vmail/sdbox/%d/%n/_control:INDEX=/var/sdbox/vmail-index/%d/%n:LAYOUT=fs:UTF-8 which I can then double-check, and eventually switch to. What's the correct procedure/syntax for an all-accounts, in-place migration command from maildir->sdbox?

Shared folders using mbox format
by Alex 26 Sep '20

26 Sep '20

Hi, I'd like to create a shared folder to be used with an Outlook client and a Thunderbird client. We're currently using mboxes. I've read the documentation here about creating a shared folder: https://wiki.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Shared It doesn't make reference to how to do this using mbox format. Is it possible? Should we convert to Maildir? Perhaps there's a way to provide both formats?

Importing Mail
by Odhiambo Washington 24 Sep '20

24 Sep '20

Hi good people, I have an old server that holds old mail (mdbox) and a new server that also uses mdbox. I'd like to import the old mail from the old server into the live/new server. The imported mail should not be treated as new mail for the existing mail accounts. What is the best way to achieve this? Lastly, is there a way to convert mdbox to Maildir? -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254 7 3200 0004/+254 7 2274 3223 "Oh, the cruft.", grep ^[^#] :-)

Vacation sieve explained: how does it work?
by Graham Leggett 24 Sep '20

24 Sep '20

Hi all, I have a legacy system that uses gnarwl to handle vacation messages, most specifically the vacation messages are stored in LDAP. We have a web based tool that allows people to update their vacation message, all they’re doing is modifying LDAP. I am trying to find out if dovecot’s vacation sieve can do the same thing. I am struggling however to find something that describes to me how dovecot vacation sieve is configured. Is there a howto or walkthrough anywhere? Specific burning questions: - If I was to configure the dovecot vacation sieve, where is the body of each vacation message stored? File on disk? In a store like an LDAP store? Somewhere else? - How is the body of vacation message modified? Does this happen through the IMAP protocol, a command line tool, something else? - How is the vacation message switched on and off? Does this happen through the IMAP protocol, a command line tool, or something else? The docs at https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Pigeonhole/Sieve/Extensions/Vacation describe how to control how often the vacation messages are sent, but very little else. I am very confused :( Regards, Graham —

I configure /etc/pki/tls/openssl.cnf to set preferences for apps' usage, e.g. Postfix etc; Typically, here cat /etc/pki/tls/openssl.cnf openssl_conf = default_conf [default_conf] ssl_conf = ssl_sect [ssl_sect] system_default = system_default_sect [system_default_sect] MinProtocol = TLSv1.2 Ciphersuites = TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256:TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384:TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 CipherString = ECDHE-ECDSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305:ECDHE-RSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256 Options = PrioritizeChaCha,ServerPreference However, any/all sends from local client via Dovecot submission -- from an instance on the same server -- FAILS with that^^ openssl.cnf, ==> /var/log/dovecot/dovecot.log <== ... 2020-08-24 17:04:42 submission(testuser(a)example.com)<D4c5c6itUg2sHgsH>: Error: smtp-client: conn int.mx.example.net:465 (10.0.4.65:465) [1]: connect(int.mx.example.net:465) failed: Failed to initialize SSL: Couldn't initialize SSL context: Can't load SSL certificate: error:14187180:SSL routines:ssl_do_config:bad value: section=system_default, cmd=Options, arg=ServerPreference,PrioritizeChaCha 2020-08-24 17:04:42 submission(testuser(a)example.com)<D4c5c6itUg2sHgsH>: Error: Failed to establish relay connection: Failed to connect to remote server ... editing, - Options = PrioritizeChaCha,ServerPreference + Options = PrioritizeChaCha cures the error ==> /var/log/dovecot/dovecot.log <== ... 2020-08-24 17:08:04 submission(testuser(a)example.com)<Uow+f6itZg2sHgsH>: Info: Successfully relayed message: from=<testuser(a)example.com>, size=433, id=Mh4pJWRWRF9jHQAAVDn7pA, nrcpt=1, reply=`250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as 4Bb8TJ4VQbz7v6t' ... checking ssl docs https://www.openssl.org/docs/man1.1.1/man3/SSL_CONF_cmd.html BOTH are valid 'Options', ... ServerPreference: use server and not client preference order when determining which cipher suite, signature algorithm or elliptic curve to use for an incoming connection. Equivalent to SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE. Only used by servers. PrioritizeChaCha: prioritizes ChaCha ciphers when the client has a ChaCha20 cipher at the top of its preference list. This usually indicates a mobile client is in use. Equivalent to SSL_OP_PRIORITIZE_CHACHA. Only used by servers. ... The mere presence of that option in a system-wide openssl.cnf shouldn't cause a Dovecot submission failure.

At a loss with antispan and imap_sieve

Hi, It seems I can’t google my way out of this one. I’m trying to set up spam/ham learning but getting nowhere. I tried Johannes Berg Antispam plugin, and syslog shows: Sep 20 22:22:06 proefmail imap: antispam: running mailtrain backend program /usr/lib/dovecot/retrain.sh Sep 20 22:22:06 proefmail imap: antispam: running mailtrain backend program /usr/lib/dovecot/retrain.sh Sep 20 22:22:06 proefmail imap: antispam: running mailtrain backend program parameter 1 /mail/klaas Sep 20 22:22:06 proefmail imap: antispam: running mailtrain backend program parameter 2 ham The file retrain.sh is simply: #!/bin/sh echo hi >> debug.log ...with debug.log being an empty world-writeable file in /usr/lib/dovecot. Absolutely nothing happens. The file debug.log is not even touched. But when I remove retrain.sh there’s an error logged so up until then, *something* happens. After this I tried imap_sieve, following the wiki on dovecot.org, but again nothing happens. My imap.log says: Info: sieve: pipe action: piped message to program `retrain.sh’ But again debug.log is untouched. I’m fresh out of ideas here. Any help would be most welcome. I’m on Debian in virtual machine, Postfix delivering mail to Dovecot LMTP delivering to virtual maildirs, bogofilter for scanning incoming mail. Sieve does work for moving incoming spam to the spam mailbox. Cheers and thanks, Ferenc
