Hi All, I need to migrate the complete data & setup/environment from an old dovecot environment to a new dovecot environment. Old environment details: ======================== Linux OS - Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.5 (Santiago) Dovecot version - 2.0.9 Postfix version - 2.6.6 New Environment details: ( 2 systems) ======================== Linux OS - Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.7 (Maipo) Dovecot version - 2.2.36 (1f10bfa63) Postfix version - 2.10.1 In the new environment, I have 2 servers. I have got 2 of the above servers with above configuration and need to create HA/Resilience. I know there is advanced versions in Redhat and Dovecot. As per my organisation's existing support/policy, that is what maximum supported RHEL and official version of dovecot as per RHEL 7.7. Now my questions are: 1. I will stop the dovecot/postfix services on the server in old environment. Is it possible to move/copy the complete configuration along with data (directories/sub-directories/users/groups/existing email in new or cur folders/complete email domains along with complete structure) to the other 2 servers in new env? Could you please suggest me the commands or steps follow that? 2. Now, With the above 2 servers, I would like to create the HA/Resilience. I know there is a Replication options which are there. Could you please provide me the steps/video, how it needs to be done? I have got the systems and I need to move/copy the environment to a new environment and create the HA/Resilience. I am not sure, how to proceed and what needs to be done clearly? I am stuck here. Please help me in this step by step procedure. Thanks, Kishore Potnuru

INBOX folders disappeared after upgrading
by Dave 12 Jul '20

12 Jul '20

Hi, tried to Google/etc to see what to tweak.. not finding anything helpful. So.. I've been running my private mail through a Linux server since approx year 2000. The OS has been various flavors of Fedora or CentOS, since for work, I have to spend all day supporting some sort of Red Hat flavor. So I run SquirrelMail on top of Dovecot and Postfix on CentOS 7, things have been great for like forever. I recently ran updates and all my INBOX folders disappeared. I have made no configuration changes in at least 5 years. I can't seem to resolve/figure out what's going on. I have backups to see everything before the update. I've noticed that my subscriptions file is missing all the folders, which are all in this file in the backups. If I repopulate this file with the names, the next time I access mail, they are all removed. Most of my mail is in folders, therefore I have access to almost none of it (can see new stuff coming in, but can't sort it anywhere). k, for the details.. I was running dovecot-2.2.10 (2.2.10-8.el7.x86_64) and was updated to dovecot-2.2.36 (2.2.36-3.el7_7.1.x86_64) with yum updates. # dovecot --version 2.2.36 (1f10bfa63) # dovecot -n # 2.2.36 (1f10bfa63): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.10.0-1062.18.1.el7.x86_64 x86_64 CentOS Linux release 7.7.1908 (Core) # Hostname: vm1.tech...com auth_mechanisms = plain login login_greeting = IMAP ready. mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir mbox_write_locks = fcntl 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 } service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { mode = 0600 user = postfix } } service imap-login { inet_listener imap { address = 127.0.0.1,68.139.25.150 } inet_listener imaps { address = 127.0.0.1,68.139.25.150 } } service pop3-login { inet_listener pop3 { port = 0 } inet_listener pop3s { address = 127.0.0.1,68.139.25.150 } } ssl = required ssl_cert = </etc/pki/tls/certs/mail.tech...com.crt ssl_cipher_list = ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:!LOW:!EXP:!RC4 ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it ssl_prefer_server_ciphers = yes userdb { driver = passwd } Regards, -Dave

2.3.10.1 on OpenBSD

Apart from a few warnings (attached), and a bit of patience, the compiler terminates without error. On patience, OBSD has two processes who took almost half the CPU when compiling: reaper and zerothread. Will look into the warnings, and the testing errors (also attached). Let see how it works on this machine. OpenBSD 6.7 (GENERIC.MP) #2: Thu Jun 4 09:55:08 MDT 2020 real mem = 17125511168 (16332MB) avail mem = 16593879040 (15825MB) bios0: Supermicro A2SDi-4C-HLN4F OpenBSD clang version 8.0.1 (tags/RELEASE_801/final) (based on LLVM 8.0.1) Target: amd64-unknown-openbsd6.7 Thread model: posix

Per-user sieve_before settings?
by Gionatan Danti 11 Jul '20

11 Jul '20

Hi all, I wonder if using a per-user sieve_before setting (ie: a relative path to user home, as ~/filter.sieve) is expected to work corretly. Full disclaimer: I am migrating an old CentOS 6.10 box with dovecot 2.0.9 and an old pigenhole version. I now want to redirect emails from old account to new account (I have a csv with old->new address pairs). My first approach using a single, big filter file somewhat works, but it is not optimal. I am currently setting sieve_before = /var/vmail/autoreply.sieve, and it that file I have something as: ... if header :contains "to" "aaa(a)olddomain.com" { redirect "aaa(a)newdomain.com"; stop; } if header :contains "to" "bbb(a)olddomain.com" { redirect "bbb(a)newdomain.com"; stop; } ... Problem is that whan an email has multiple to or cc, the filter is evaluated multiple times (one per recipient) and I end with multiple email copies on the same destination address. For example, sending and email to aaa(a)olddomain.com, cc bbb(a)olddomain.com is evaluated *two* times: when delivering the email to aaa(a)olddomain.com, with a corresponding redirect to aaa(a)newdomain.com, and when delivering the email to bbb(a)olddomain.com, with *another* redirect to aaa(a)newdomain.com (ending with two email copies). Using a per-user filter file solves the problem, as the filter is evaluated in the context of the right user only (ie: an email sent to aaa(a)olddomain.com, cc bbb(a)olddomain.com is evaluated only in aaa(a)olddomain.com context, with a corresponding single email on aaa(a)newdomain.com) However, I would avoid manipulating the already present per-user file (roundcube.sieve), as I need to add my custom rules on top of that file. Moreover, users would be able to disable the redirect filter. Using a per-user before_sieve filter file seems the right solution, *if* it works using multiple files rather than a single global one. If not, do you have any other suggestion/approach to share? Thanks. -- Danti Gionatan Supporto Tecnico Assyoma S.r.l. - www.assyoma.it [1] email: g.danti(a)assyoma.it - info(a)assyoma.it GPG public key ID: FF5F32A8

in dovecot/conf.d/90-plugin.conf i have plugin { # man antispam #setting_name = value antispam_debug_target = syslog antispam_verbose_debug = 1 antispam_backend = pipe antispam_signature = X-DSPAM-Signature # action to take on mails without signature # (used with any backend requiring a signature) # (we recommend only setting this to 'move' after verifying that the # whole setup is working) # antispam_signature_missing = move # move silently without training antispam_signature_missing = error antispam_trash = Trash antispam_spam = Junk antispam_pipe_program_spam_arg = --spam antispam_pipe_program_notspam_arg = --ham antispam_pipe_program = /usr/bin/sa-learn antispam_pipe_program_args = --username=%Lu } it seems to be going into the database ok but it doesn't seem to be applying anything it is learning. might there be some configuration option missing?

Ms Exchange vs dovecot
by Marc Roos 10 Jul '20

10 Jul '20

I have recently been working/testing with exchange 2016 and started thinking if I should even migrate to this platform. I assume more people here have experience with exchange and this idea. I was wondering if this is possible with a dovecot setup 1. public folder can be implemented with a public mailbox? 2. authorize users via groups access to mailboxes/folders of the public folder/mailbox. I think I saw ACL's with dovecot, does this compare to 'folder permissions' 3. is it possible with sieve to apply a rule on any mailbox/folder? Thus if I 'drag' a message to a folder, the sieve rule is activated?

Dovecot FTS with Solrcloud
by Patrik Peng 10 Jul '20

10 Jul '20

Greetings We are looking into a solution to set up full text search for our multiple Dovecot instances. According to the Dovecot Wiki, fts_solr is one of the recommended plugins to use. Since we have more than just a few hundred mailboxes, I guess one Solr instance will not suffice. So I took a look at SolrCloud and set up a small cluster with three nodes and shards. I have no preceding experience with Solr or SolrCloud and now it's not clear to me, how dovecot can interact with this cluster. Has anyone ever tried to setup dovecot FTS with a SolrCloud cluster and is willing to share his findings? Regards Patrik

BUG report: dbox movealt doesn't move reverse (to default location)

Hi, Here is the problem that occured: #sudo doveadm -D altmove -u vv(a)vito.pp.ua all works properly and moves all storage to alt dir. However, to move it back to default storage I add '-r' by manual: #sudo doveadm -D altmove -u vv(a)vito.pp.ua -r all That seems behave like the original command ignoring '-r'. my dovecot conf: # 2.3.4.1 (f79e8e7e4): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.5.4 () # OS: Linux 4.19.0-9-amd64 x86_64 Debian 10.4 # Hostname: qemu7.internetguru.ca auth_mechanisms = plain login disable_plaintext_auth = no imapc_features = rfc822.size fetch-headers imapc_host = imap.gmail.com imapc_port = 993 imapc_ssl = imaps imapc_user = %u listen = *,[::] log_timestamp = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S " mail_attachment_dir = /wd640/mdbox-att/%d/%n mail_max_userip_connections = 100 mail_prefetch_count = 20 mail_privileged_group = vmail passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf driver = sql } plugin { quota = dict:user::file:/var/vmail/%d/%n/.quotausage sieve = /var/vmail/%d/%n/.sieve sieve_max_redirects = 25 } protocols = imap pop3 service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-userdb { group = vmail mode = 0600 user = vmail } user = root } service imap-login { client_limit = 1000 process_limit = 512 } service lmtp { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { group = postfix mode = 0600 user = postfix } } service stats { unix_listener stats-reader { group = vmail mode = 0660 user = vmail } unix_listener stats-writer { group = vmail mode = 0660 user = vmail } } ssl_cert = </etc/postfix/smtpd.cert ssl_client_ca_dir = /etc/ssl/certs ssl_dh = # hidden, use -P to show it ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it userdb { driver = prefetch } userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf driver = sql } protocol imap { mail_plugins = quota imap_quota } protocol pop3 { mail_plugins = quota pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv } protocol lda { mail_plugins = sieve quota postmaster_address = postmaster(a)some.ca } protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = quota sieve postmaster_address = postmaster(a)some.ca } I am using debian 10.

Urgent Help required
by Kishore Potnuru 09 Jul '20

09 Jul '20

Hi All, I request your help on this. I have 2 dovecot test servers (IMAP protocol) installed with the following configuration. ============= [root@devap01 ~]# cat /etc/redhat-* Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.10 (Santiago) [root@devap01 ~]# dovecot --version 2.0.9 [root@devap01 ~]# postconf | grep mail_version mail_version = 2.6.6 =============== I have another server also "devap02" with the same configuration. Couple of points/questions/queries here. 1. I know these servers are having old dovecot versions. I would like to upgrade to the latest versions. Could you please suggest the steps for upgrading to the latest version in redhat (step by step details are helpful please) . If I upgrade to the latest version, will there be any impact on the existing configuration/setup? 2. Now I have added these 2 servers behind the Load Balancer. Enabled 110/143 ports on the Load Balancer FQDN (test.pop3.testing.com) and opened the firewall ports. Here I configured IMAP settings from microsoft outlook to see the emails. I gave the Incoming Mail Server & Outgoing mail server as "test.pop3.testing.com". It is configured without errors in Outlook. But I see these 2 types issues (shared storage & individual storage) a) individual separate storage - When I send 10 emails to LB FQDN ( test.pop3.testing.com) the emails are going to 2 backend servers. But when i see the emails from Outlook inbox, it shows 5 emails from one server for some time. After sometime it shows other 5 emails in the inbox. But, I am not able to see all 10 emails at same time in my inbox. Please suggest how to fix this issue? In this scenario, I have separate individual storage in both the servers. b) common shared storage - I have tried a different scenario also. I also have one common NFS storage. So, I have configured that storage in both the servers. So when I sent 10 emails, I see all the 10 emails from both the servers as it is common shared storage. But, I am not getting those 10 emails delivered into my Outlook. I have made all the configuration correctly. Please suggest what is the mistake here. Dovecot.conf ========================================================= [root@devap01 ~]# cat /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf disable_plaintext_auth = no listen = * log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log mail_location = maildir:/r3/mail/virtual/%d/%n/Maildir/ passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/passwd driver = passwd-file } pop3_uidl_format = %g protocols = imap pop3 ssl = yes ssl_cert = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem userdb { args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/r3/mail/virtual/%d/%n driver = static } mail_debug = no verbose_ssl = no ========================================================= Please help me here. Thanks, Kishore Potnuru
