Writing to a Dictionary Using Lua
by Andrea Gabellini 31 Jan '25

31 Jan '25

Hello, I am using the push_notification_lua plugin and would like to modify my script to write data into a dictionary configured as follows: dict_server { dict proxy { idle_timeout = 300s name = sql slow_warn = 1s } dict sql { sql_driver = mysql mysql localhost { dbname = xxx password = xxx user = xxx } dict_map "shared/dsync/$user" { sql_table = dsync dict_map_value_field last_event { type = uint } dict_map_key_field userid { value = $user } } } } I am not very familiar with Lua, and I couldn't find any relevant examples in the documentation or online. Would it be possible to provide a sample code snippet demonstrating how to write to this dictionary using Lua? Thank you! -- TIM San Marino S.p.A.

"Modseq 34839 no longer in transaction log"
by Kent Borg 29 Jan '25

29 Jan '25

My new custom-built .deb packages seem to work, or at least work better! When new e-mails come in, it quickly attempts a sync, but says it fails: > Jan 29 10:31:49 la dovecot[1199]: doveadm: Error: > doveadm(kentborg)<2465><gL2eARV0mmehCQAAA3PmQQ>: Warning: Failed to do > incremental sync for mai\ > lbox INBOX, retry with a full sync (Modseq 34839 no longer in > transaction log (highest=37557, last_common_uid=12476, nextuid=12614)) Is this a leftover problem from my earlier crashes? I tried a full sync ("doveadm replicator replicate -f kentborg") and rebooting both machines, but I still get the error when new e-mails come in. The number in the error increments by three the several times I have seen this so far. Is there a way to make this happy? Thanks, -kb P.S. I am only doing one-way syncing so far.

Why does metrics exporter not work anymore?

Hi, I am trying to get the metrics exporter to work in 2.4.0, but for some reason, I do not see any connection attempts to the named http server nor do I get any errors: $ doveconf -n # 2.4.0 (daeb6bc59c): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 2.4.0 (1b2d5bb9) # OS: Linux 6.10.14-linuxkit x86_64 Debian 12.9 # Hostname: b7638a15bee0 dovecot_config_version = 2.4.0 auth_allow_cleartext = yes auth_cache_verify_password_with_worker = yes auth_failure_delay = 0 secs auth_mechanisms = auth_mechanisms { plain = yes login = yes } auth_username_format = %{user | username | lower} debug_log_path = /dev/stdout default_internal_group = vmail default_internal_user = vmail default_login_user = vmail dovecot_storage_version = 2.4.0 first_valid_uid = 1000 imap_id_retain = yes info_log_path = /dev/stdout last_valid_uid = 1000 listen = listen { * = yes } lmtp_proxy = yes log_path = /dev/stdout mail_debug = yes mail_driver = sdbox mail_gid = vmail mail_home = /srv/mail/%Ln mail_path = ~/Mail mail_uid = vmail protocols { imap = yes pop3 = yes lmtp = yes } ssl = no verbose_proctitle = yes namespace inbox { inbox = yes separator = / } service lmtp { inet_listener lmtp { port = 24 ssl = no } } service imap-login { client_limit = 100 process_min_avail = 1 restart_request_count = unlimited inet_listener imap { port = 143 } } service pop3-login { client_limit = 100 process_min_avail = 1 restart_request_count = unlimited inet_listener pop3 { port = 110 } } event_exporter log { driver = log format = json time_format = rfc3339 } event_exporter conn_state { driver = http-post format = json http_post_url = http://nauthilus:8080/api/v1/custom/dovecot-session-cleaner time_format = rfc3339 http_client_request_absolute_timeout = 5sec } metric client_disconnect_http { exporter = conn_state exporter_include = exporter_include { name = yes hostname = yes timestamps = yes categories = yes fields = yes } filter = event=mail_user_session_finished AND (category=imap OR category=pop3 OR category=lmtp OR category=sieve) } metric imap_noop { exporter = conn_state exporter_include = exporter_include { name = yes hostname = yes timestamps = yes categories = yes fields = yes } filter = event=imap_command_finished AND cmd_name=NOOP } passdb lua { lua_file = /etc/dovecot/auth.lua } userdb prefetch { } userdb lua { auth_verbose = no lua_file = /etc/dovecot/auth.lua result_failure = return-fail result_internalfail = return-fail result_success = continue-ok skip = never } It is an example Docker setup found here: https://github.com/croessner/nauthilus-demo There are no error logs in dovecot.

Example configs and packaging scripts
by Aki Tuomi 28 Jan '25

28 Jan '25

Hi! To make the transition from 2.3 to 2.4 easier, especially for package maintainers, we have prepared one-time conversion of 2.3 example configurations to 2.4. Please find them at https://github.com/dovecot/tools/blob/main/dovecot-2.4.0-example-config.tar… Please review release notes and changelogs for needed changes in future releases. Also, would like to remind that https://repo.dovecot.org/ce-2.4-latest/debian/bookworm/pool/main/ contains the debian.tar.xz used to build our packages, and similarly for rhel based https://repo.dovecot.org/ce-2.4-latest/rhel/9/SRPMS/ has the source RPMs. Kind regards, Aki Tuomi

dovecot: master: Warning: service(imap-login): process_limit (100) reached, client connections are being dropped

Hello, I would need a little help. I have the following message in the logs dovecot: master: Warning: service(imap-login): process_limit (100) reached, client connections are being dropped I have already modified the file /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf The first 2 lines are default_process_limit = 200 default_client_limit = 1250 and if i make: grep -r process_limit /etc/ he found that: /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf:default_process_limit = 200 /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf: process_limit = 1024 /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf: #process_limit = 1024 /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf: process_limit = 1024 /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf.original:default_process_limit = 150 /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf.original: #process_limit = 1024 /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf.original: #process_limit = 1024 /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf.original: #process_limit = 1024 /etc/dovecot/conf.d/20-managesieve.conf: #process_limit = 1024 And so I don’t really understand why this error message remains at 100, I specify that the postfix and dovecot services were restarted after the modification,

Tests failed in 2.4.0 (Possibly time-zone-related?)
by Peter 27 Jan '25

27 Jan '25

I'm getting the following failed test: test-var-expand.c:464: Assert failed: labs(t0 - t1) < 10 3600 < 10 is not true var_expand(providers) ................................................ : FAILED This test appears to be a timestamp comparison as per this comment: /* Ensure the time is within 10 seconds */ being exactly one hour off makes me suspect a time-zone issue on the build machine. This machine is in NZDT which is currently in daylight savings time which makes me suspect that this is an issue that is specific to dovecot being built in a timezone in the southern hemisphere. Shouldn't the comparison be done on UTC time instead of localtime to avoid these issues? Peter

Errors using dovecot 2.4 container image
by Andreas Achtzehn 26 Jan '25

26 Jan '25

Dear Dovecot team, I ran into troubles using the newly released 2.4 docker image. The dovecot/dovenull users are apparently not part of the image -- hence the dovecot server fails to start up with a fatal error. I'm using a vanilla configuration, default_login_user, etc. are not set. Thanks for having a look! Best regards, Andreas
