max number of connections per ip
by Esteban L 29 Feb '20

29 Feb '20

I have been haunted by the following error message or months, that we see using Thunderbird. Unable to connect to your IMAP server. You may have exceeded the maximum number of connections to this server. If so, use the Advanced IMAP Server Settings dialogue to reduce the number of cached connections. If I change my location, via a VPN, the error message goes away and I can connect. I have edited my /etc/dovcot/conf.d/20-imap.conf file by adding the following: protocol imap { # Space separated list of plugins to load (default is global mail_plugins). mail_plugins = $mail_plugins imap_quota # Maximum number of IMAP connections allowed for a user from each IP address. # NOTE: The username is compared case-sensitively. mail_max_userip_connections = 500 } And, I still get the error message. I know myself, I have about 8-9 accounts, some with as many as 10 folders (I know each one count's as it's own mailbox), as does my partner--who would access the internet from my IP. Does that number really have to be like 10,000, or something? If so, why does it start out so small in the first place. If not, what else could I do to avoid this message going forward??

doveadm acl recursive
by Armin Schindler 28 Feb '20

28 Feb '20

Hello, I try to set acl settings on a public folder including its subfolders. There is no option for acting recursive. But the documentation says wildcards can be given on the mailbox name. But this doesn't work. No matter how the mailbox name is provided with a wildcard, doveadm always tells Mailbox doesn't exist. Folder example: public/project1 public/project1/subdir1 public/project1/subdir2 public/project1/subdir2/subsubdir3 Setting acl on the given mailbox works for all of them. But how can I set for "public/project1" and all its subfolders in one command? Even "doveadm mailbox list" gives the error above when using wildcard. (I also tried all combinations of quotes). Armin

dovecot 2 samba ad-dc
by phil 28 Feb '20

28 Feb '20

Helo you, I try to build a mail server based on Centos 7, postfix and dovecot 2. My backend is a Samba4 ad-dc. I tried a lot and I don't know what else I could try.I'm new to this mailing list so please forgive me if I don't give right information or anything Samba4 ad-dc is up incl. dns. Win10 Client joined domain and authentication works. Postfix is up and checks against ldap whether recipient address exists. It takes mail via telnet and queues them. But can't give it to dovecot. my master.cf locks like that: [root@mail1t postfix]# cat master.cf smtp inet n - - - - smtpd submission inet n - - - - smtpd -o smtpd_enforce_tls=yes -o smtpd_tls_security_level=encrypt -o tls_preempt_cipherlist=yes pickup fifo n - - 60 1 pickup cleanup unix n - - - 0 cleanup qmgr fifo n - n 300 1 qmgr tlsmgr unix - - - 1000? 1 tlsmgr rewrite unix - - - - - trivial-rewrite bounce unix - - - - 0 bounce defer unix - - - - 0 bounce trace unix - - - - 0 bounce verify unix - - - - 1 verify flush unix n - - 1000? 0 flush proxymap unix - - n - - proxymap proxywrite unix - - n - 1 proxymap smtp unix - - - - - smtp relay unix - - - - - smtp showq unix n - - - - showq error unix - - - - - error retry unix - - - - - error discard unix - - - - - discard local unix - n n - - local virtual unix - n n - - virtual lmtp unix - - - - - lmtp anvil unix - - - - 1 anvil scache unix - - - - 1 scache maildrop unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail argv=/usr/bin/maildrop -d ${recipient} uucp unix - n n - - pipe flags=Fqhu user=uucp argv=uux -r -n -z -a$sender - $nexthop!rmail ($recipient) ifmail unix - n n - - pipe flags=F user=ftn argv=/usr/lib/ifmail/ifmail -r $nexthop ($recipient) bsmtp unix - n n - - pipe flags=Fq. user=bsmtp argv=/usr/lib/bsmtp/bsmtp -t$nexthop -f$sender $recipient scalemail-backend unix - n n - 2 pipe flags=R user=scalemail argv=/usr/lib/scalemail/bin/scalemail-store ${nexthop} ${user} ${extension} mailman unix - n n - - pipe flags=FR user=list argv=/usr/lib/mailman/bin/postfix-to-mailman.py ${nexthop} ${user} dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -f ${sender} -d ${user}@${nexthop} #smtp inet n - n - 1 postscreen #smtpd pass - - n - - smtpd #dnsblog unix - - n - 0 dnsblog #tlsproxy unix - - n - 0 tlsproxy postlog unix-dgram n - n - 1 postlogd my ldap.conf on mailserver: [root@mail1t openldap]# cat ldap.conf # # LDAP Defaults # # See ldap.conf(5) for details # This file should be world readable but not world writable. #BASE dc=example,dc=com #URI ldap://ldap.example.com ldap://ldap-master.example.com:666 URI ldaps://ldap1t.test.loc:636 #SIZELIMIT 12 #TIMELIMIT 15 #DEREF never #TLS_CACERTDIR /etc/openldap/certs TLS_CACERTDIR /etc/pki/tls/certs/ka # Turning this off breaks GSSAPI used with krb5 when rdns = false SASL_NOCANON on TLS_REQCERT never dovecot.conf: [root@mail1t dovecot]# cat dovecot.conf auth_mechanisms = plain login mail_uid = vmail mail_gid = vmail ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/mail.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/key.pem login_log_format_elements = "user=<%u> method=%m rip=%r lip=%l mpid=%e %c %k" #mail_plugins = quota ssl_cipher_list = EDH+CAMELLIA:EDH+aRSA:EECDH+aRSA+AESGCM:EECDH+aRSA+SHA384:EECDH+aRSA+SHA256:EECDH:+CAMELLIA256:+AES256:+CAMELLIA128:+AES128:+SSLv3:!aNULL:!eNULL:!LOW:!3DES:!MD5:!EXP:!PSK:!DSS:!RC4:!SEED:!ECDSA:CAMELLIA256-SHA:AES256-SHA:CAMELLIA128-SHA:AES128-SHA log_timestamp = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S " log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-info.log debug_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-debug.log #auth_verbose=yes auth_debug=yes auth_debug_passwords=yes mail_debug=yes verbose_ssl=yes protocols = imap listen = * auth_cache_size = 50000 # ~ 200 Benutzer mit Passwort auth_cache_ttl = 300s # in Sekunden, 5 Minute auth_cache_negative_ttl = 30s # wenn Benutzer nicht existierte bei letztem Check passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext driver = ldap } userdb { driver = prefetch } userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext driver = ldap } service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth_dovecot { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-userdb { mode = 0600 user = root } user = root } service dict { unix_listener dict { mode = 0660 user = vmail group = vmail } } namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { auto = subscribe special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { auto = subscribe special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { auto = subscribe special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { auto = subscribe special_use = \Trash } prefix = } protocol imap { mail_plugins = quota imap_quota } plugin { quota = maildir:User quota } dovecot-ldap.conf.ext: root@mail1t dovecot]# cat dovecot-ldap.conf.ext #hosts = 192.168.122.30:636 # Windows Active Directory uris = ldaps://192.168.122.30:636 #dn = CN=DovecotAdministrator,OU=ServiceAccounts,OU=Identitiy,DC=test,DC=loc dn = CN=Administrator,CN=Users,DC=test,DC=loc dnpass = Test123!

dovecot-uidlist....
by Chi Min Wang 27 Feb '20

27 Feb '20

Hello Everyone: Is it possible to direct dovecot to modify dovecot-uidlist automatically?? I have some user who use ancient MUA(i.e. Openwebmail) and IMAP/POP3. Since Openwebmail will insert "Status: R" in the eml file,the size of the eml file will increase by 10 bytes. If the user use Openwebmail first,then the size record(S=xxxx) in dovecot-uidlist will be fine. But if he use POP3/IMAP(dovecot) first then use Openwebmail,the size record in dovecot-uidlist will not match the actual size modified by Openwebmail. This will cause dovecot killed by core dump. I'm wondering if there are any method to avoid this situation,Thanks!! *********************************************** CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE:This e-mail and any attachments are confidential and may be legally privileged.

Matching regexps
by Adam Shostack 26 Feb '20

26 Feb '20

Hi, I'm having some trouble with matching. The regexp in my dovecot.sieve file should match on email addresses, but does not. # The code: if header :matches "From" "<[a-z0-9-]*(a)[a-z0-9-.]*>" { set "sender" "${1}"; } if not execute "grepfrom" ["${sender}"] { if envelope :matches "from" "*" { set "sender" "${1}"; } This failes to match Tamara Denning <tdenning(a)cs.utah.edu> when I check that regexp against that string at regex101.com, it shows a match, but the log (from sieve-test) shows: 348: header test 348: starting `:matches' match with `i;ascii-casemap' comparator: 348: extracting `From' headers from message 348: matching value `Tamara Denning <tdenning(a)cs.utah.edu>' 348: with key `.*<[a-z0-9-]*(a)[a-z0-9-.]*>' => 0 348: finishing match with result: not matched I would appreciate advice on why the match is failing, or what I can change to make it match. Thank you! Adam

Help needed with managesieve
by Laura Smith 22 Feb '20

22 Feb '20

Hi, I'm really struggling with the following inbound filtering: Let's say:• My email address is "my.email(a)example.com" • I've setup a filtered address "filtered.email(a)example.com" • I've setup a sending/reply address "send.email(a)example.com" I am sending a message to a small group of people where detailed tracking is required (yes, I know there are better automated ways outside of Dovecot to do this... but let's leave that topic for another day shall we !) My desired action is as follows : • Message "From" shows "send.email(a)example.com" • Message "To" is set as "filtered.email(a)example.com" • General recipients in Bcc When I send a test to an *external* address, it works as expected, i.e. : • External address receives mail in its inbox • Copy of mail gets put in relevant IMAP folder for "filtered.email(a)example.com" When I send a test to my own address, it does not work, the following happens instead: • Copy of mail gets put in relevant IMAP folder for "filtered.email(a)example.com" (this is good and as expected) • The BCC "my.email(a)example.com" never gets deposited in my inbox (this is not good) My dovecot sieve (as applied to "my.email(a)example.com") is as follows (I have tried both with and without the "stop" as you can see from the comment: anyof (address :is :all "to" ["send.email(a)example.com"], header :contains ["Cc", "Delivered-To"] ["send.email(a)example.com"]) { fileinto :create "XYZmail-replies"; # Ignore stop for this rule only # stop; } elsif anyof (address :is :all "to" ["filtered.email(a)example.com"], header :contains ["Cc", "Delivered-To"] ["filtered.email(a)example.com"]) { fileinto :create "XYZmail-sent"; # Ignore stop for this rule only # stop; }

Strategy for fts and Replication
by Francis Augusto Medeiros-Logeay 22 Feb '20

22 Feb '20

Hi there, I got successfully to replicate my mail server to another dovecot install using dsync, mainly for redundancy, and it works great. I want to try to install fts, as some of the mailboxes have tens of thousands of messages, and it takes minutes to get some results when searching via IMAP on a Roundcube interface. I want to experiment with fts-solr first, and firstly on my redundant server, ie., not on my main dovecot install. Is it ok to do this? I ask because I am afraid of how this whole reindexing on the redundant install will affect the production server. Also, any tips on something else than fts-solr? I tried it once, but it was so hard to get it right, so many configurations, java, etc., that I'd rather try something else. I also could try fts-elastic or something like that, but, again, having to maintain an elasticsearch install might use more resources than I think is worth. Any thoughts on that? Best, -- Francis
