The version of dovecot in freebsd ports tree is still 2.3.6, any idea when this will be updated to 2.3.7? -- "I can't see the point in the theatre. All that sex and violence. I get enough of that at home. Apart from the sex, of course." - Baldrick

Fwd: Character not allowed in mailbox name
by Lothar Schilling 23 Jul '19

23 Jul '19

Hi Arnold, thanks for your assistance. I solved the issue right now by changing prefix = Shared/%%u/ to prefix = Shared/%%n/ This omits the @mydomain.de part which holds the dot causing the trouble. Why this became a problem due to the update I wouldn't know.

Re: Dovecot 2.3.6 on Solaris10: build issues, segfaults
by Joseph Tam 23 Jul '19

23 Jul '19

Looking further into this segfault at settings-parser.c:setting_copy():1519 *dest_size = *src_size; *src_size points to type size_t (typedef unsigned long), a 4-byte aligned value consistent with a 32-bit build. This is mismatched with declared type (gdb) whatis src_size type = const uoff_t * (gdb) whatis uoff_t type = unsigned long long (gdb) p sizeof(uoff_t) $1 = 8 resulting in the segfault when *src_size is dereferened. The implied condition of this code segment is typeof(uoff_t)==typeof(size_t) which is clearly not the case. I'm not sure how/if uoff_t is defined, but configure reports checking for uoff_t... no checking type of off_t... long long The latter is weird, because if I compile and run using the same compiler flags #include <stdio.h> int main(void) { printf("%d %d\n",sizeof(long long),sizeof(off_t)); } the output is "8 4".

Dovecot with MySQL over SSL.

Hello! I'm attempting to get Dovecot working with MySQL user database on another machine. I can connect to the MySQL (5.7.26) instance with SSL enabled: mysql -h db.mrst.ee --ssl-ca=/etc/dovecot/ca.pem --ssl-cert=/etc/dovecot/client-cert.pem --ssl-key=/etc/dovecot/client-key.pem --ssl-cipher=DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA -u vmail -p However if I use the same values in dovecot-sql.conf.ext, I get the following error: Jul 19 00:20:18 turin dovecot: master: Dovecot v2.3.7 (494d20bdc) starting up for imap, lmtp, sieve (core dumps disabled) Jul 19 00:20:18 turin dovecot: auth-worker(82996): Error: mysql(db.mrst.ee): Connect failed to database (vmail): SSL connection error: protocol version mismatch - waiting for 1 seconds before retry Jul 19 00:20:18 turin dovecot: auth-worker(82996): Error: mysql(db.mrst.ee): Connect failed to database (vmail): SSL connection error: protocol version mismatch - waiting for 1 seconds before retry Jul 19 00:20:19 turin dovecot: auth-worker(82996): Error: mysql(db.mrst.ee): Connect failed to database (vmail): Connections using insecure transport are prohibited while --require_secure_transport=ON. - waiting for 5 seconds before retry Jul 19 00:20:19 turin dovecot: auth-worker(82996): Error: mysql(db.mrst.ee): Connect failed to database (vmail): Connections using insecure transport are prohibited while --require_secure_transport=ON. - waiting for 5 seconds before retry Database connection string: connect = host=db.mrst.ee dbname=vmail user=vmail password=stuff \ ssl_ca=/etc/dovecot/ca.pem \ ssl_cert=/etc/dovecot/client-cert.pem \ ssl_key=/etc/dovecot/client-key.pem \ ssl_cipher=DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA If I leave the ssl_cipher unset, I get: Jul 19 00:23:41 turin dovecot: auth-worker(83069): Error: mysql(db.mrst.ee): Connect failed to database (vmail): SSL connection error: Failed to set ciphers to use - waiting for 1 seconds before retry Any ideas?

Pure-FTPd’s SNI daemon
by Felipe Gasper 22 Jul '19

22 Jul '19

Hello, Pure-FTPd just adopted an interesting approach to SNI support: a separate daemon that serves cert chain and key for a given hostname. What would be involved in having Dovecot support this daemon? It would alleviate the need right now for a very large “sni.conf” file on hosts that serve thousands of domains. Thank you! -Felipe Gasper Mississauga, ON

Dovecot eBook

22 Jul '19

Hi Timo I have a strange question. I bought the Dovecot Book off Amazon. I can easily prove it with a picture and/or my receipt off Amazon. I still have it o my library but I don’t like to travel around with it. Is there a way for me to get a PDF copy? I just checked Amazon and there is still no PDF version available there.
