sieve-extdata plugin breaks on pigeonhole 0.5 ish
by Ed W 01 Nov '20

01 Nov '20

Hi, I wonder if someone could give me a little help bringing the sieve-extdata plugin up to date to be usable with latest Dovecot/pigeonhole Trying to use both together at present I get an error: managesieve: Fatal: Couldn't load required plugin /usr/lib/dovecot/sieve/lib90_sieve_extdata_plugin.so: dlopen() failed: /usr/lib/dovecot/sieve/lib90_sieve_extdata_plugin.so: undefined symbol: sieve_sys_error This appears to be due to the change in error handling in pigeonhole 0.5 which appears to have removes the "sieve_sys_error()" and "sieve_sys_warning()" functions I'm unclear how this code should be change (I've commented it out for now - eek). I find this extension useful to pass in user specific parameters to my sieve scripts that are stored elsewhere in an sql database, eg spam score, size threshold for attachments, perhaps there is some other way to achieve this? Any hints on how to fixing this would be appreciated Thanks Ed W

Dovecot, sa-learn and sieve - where to save the Bayes DB
by Francis Augusto Medeiros-Logeay 31 Oct '20

31 Oct '20

Hi! I have dovecot, Spamassassin and postfix running. I started to use sa-learn to get better and more precise spam identification and filtering. I have not set the Bayes_path preference on my local.cf file, thus when I call sa-learn -u myuser(a)mydomain.org --spam, the Bayes DB gets updated at /root/.spamassassin. I decided then to create a sieve filter on dovecot, as described on Dovecot's wiki page. Basically, Dovecot's sieve plugin execute sa-learn with a -u argument, apparently the same way I do when I use it manually. BUT, the thing is that when Dovecot executes sa-learn, the bayes database is created on the virtual user's folder, ie., /var/mail/vmail/mydomain.org/user/.spamassassin. When I call it manually, the db used is /root/.spamassassin` I am now confused as I don't know if, when evaluating spam, spamd will use the Bayes DB on the user's Maildir, or if it will use the one under /root/.spamassassin. I would really like to have my spam evaluation done per user, not site wide, so I wonder: - How can I configure bayes_path for each user, individually, on a virtual users setup? - Does calling spamd with --virtual-config-dir have anything to do with this? I tried it, setting it up with my virtual users path, but it didn't seem to make any difference when it comes to what I describe in this post. With or without it set up, the results above are the same. -- Francis Augusto Medeiros-Logeay Oslo, Norway

Odd replication behaviour
by James Pattinson 31 Oct '20

31 Oct '20

Hi, I have just built a new pair of similar machines both running CentOS 8.2 (selinux disabled) and Dovecot 2.3.8 (9df20d2db). One machine is a VPS (host A) and one is on my home network (host B). The idea is that they are set up in a master/master config with Dovecot replication. I seem to have this 95% working but there is one strange issue I can’t work out. Currently B is a perfect replica of A. I have pointed an instance of Thunderbird at it, and I can see all my mails. If I delete any mails or change any flags, I see the same changes almost instantly on the A side. PROBLEM: if host A receives a new mail, I don’t see it on B until I do ‘something’ to change metadata, for example deleting any random email, or marking an email as read on EITHER side causes the new email to appear almost instantly on the B side. I would have expected emails on B to appear immediately. Am I doing something wrong? Extra info - my mailboxes are in Maildir format with single OS user (vmail). I have about 4000 emails in the Inbox and about 30k in other folders. There are only 5 users and I’m using passdb as the very simple backend. Replication is via doveadm on a specified port (not SSH). Some output from dovecot -n is below.

Sieve filter script EXECUTION FAILED
by ＠lbutlr 31 Oct '20

31 Oct '20

So, I have the sieve working up to the point that it calls the script, and the script is called (I get different errors if the script is not there, for example). filter action execute program `darkmode.sh' [[EXECUTION ABORTED]] There's no other error logged (for example, when I had sieve_filter_bin_dir miss-set, I would get: sieve: action filter: failed to execute program `darkmode.sh': vnd.dovecot.filter extension is unconfigured In /var/log/messages, but I fixed that. I assume there is something wrong with what I am doing in the script, bit that is something I am not finding any examples on that are proving useful. The script file is simply: Darkmode.sh: #!/bin/sh echo $1 | sed -e '|</head>|<style>* {color:white !important; background-color: black !important; } </style></head>|' Which is somehwat similar to a working script for reporting spam: sa-learn-spam.sh: #!/bin/sh exec /usr/local/bin/sa-learn -u ${1} --spam -- "Are you pondering what I'm pondering?" "I think so, Brain, but won't it go straight to my hips?!"

But I think the sed here is missing 's' from start, so this does not actually do anything... Aki

I am pretty sure that you are holding filter wrong, it expects you to process the entire mail, not just $1. Aki

how to enable automatic sharing of folders added/created in an already shared folder hiearchy?
by PGNet Dev 30 Oct '20

30 Oct '20

I'm running dovecot --version 2.3.11.3 (502c39af9) folder sharing is enabled & working. as long as I manually enable enable sharing for each folder/subfolder. e.g., if I enable sharing for each of: sharedtopfolder subfolder1 subfolder2 then all's good -- shared-to users can access according to set permissions. BUT, if I drag any folder under that shared-hierarchy e.g., sharedtopfolder subfolder1 subfolder2 + subfolder3 + subfolder4 the just-added subfolder3 subfolder4 are NOT shared. They CAN be -- manually. And, as soon as they are, they're, again, usable by target users. I'd like to have any/all newly-created, or dragged-in, folders under the already-shared "sharedtopfolder" to be **automatically** enabled for sharing. how is that explicitly setup? is it 'just' Dovecot config? &/or does it require some Sieve?

Sieve matching the raw body
by ＠lbutlr 30 Oct '20

30 Oct '20

I have tried the following to match the string '</head>' in the body of an email: if body :raw :contains "</head>" { if body :content "text/html" :contains "</head>" { if body :contains "</head>" { All three result in matching value `' with key `</head>' => 0 finishing match with result: not matched RFC 5173 says: 5.1. Body Transform ":raw" The ":raw" transform matches against the entire undecoded body of a message as a single item. Which seems like exactly what I want. :content does not seem like what I want since it appears to only match the non HTML code content of the mime part. Eventually what I want to do is to alert some of the code in the HTML portion the email. Failing that, to remove the HTML mime part entirely, but that is less desirable. NB: I am not getting sieve.log errors the code seems to parse fine, it's just not matching how I expect. -- I'm the High King of Fillory. I took a blood test.
