In attempting to reactivate my IMAP communications with my Email Spool (NFS Mounted), I have gotten the following while attempting to download the Emails via POP3.

Fatal: setgid, imap connections dropped.
by J. de Meijer 19 Oct '18

19 Oct '18

Hi, I'm getting errors with my IMAP setup. Basically, everything seems to work. Mail is delivered nicely from Postfix to Dovecot via LMTP. Dovecot does the authentication to LDAP (also for Postfix). Users are able to send mail via authenticated submission (Postfix) and login into IMAP and POP. However, IMAP connections are dropped frequently with an "ERROR: Connection dropped by IMAP server.". After pressing reload on the webmail, or refreshing in the client might help for a short period. So it fails intermittently. The errors in the maillog are below. It seems to be mixing up users kind of randomly. I think when multiple connections are made at the same time. Did a lot of searching, put couldn't find an answer to this problem. All I can find is related to LDA, which I'm not using. Any help would be appreciated.

trouble with ssl disable in centos 7 with version 1.0 1.2 and 3.10
by Joseph Harth 19 Oct '18

19 Oct '18

I am trying to use dovecot without ssl in centos 7. It works with imap but I am not able to make it work with pop3. Pop3 only works with ssl=yes. I can use dovecot in centos 4 ok. I get the same error with thunderbird and outlook. But for some reason it works when I telnet to port 110 and do retr 1. I was able to work pam and shadow passwords. this is the output that does not work with tls disabled Oct 18 13:30:17 auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib64/dovecot/authOct 18 13:30:17 auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/lib20_auth_var_expand_crypt.soOct 18 13:30:17 auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libdriver_sqlite.soOct 18 13:30:17 auth: Debug: Read auth token secret from /var/run/dovecot/auth-token-secret.datOct 18 13:30:17 auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=22513)Oct 18 13:30:17 auth: Debug: client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=pop3 session=WXv1I4R4FOXAqAAK lip=192.168.0.37 rip=192.168.0.10 lport=110 rport=58644Oct 18 13:30:17 auth: Debug: client passdb out: CONT 1Oct 18 13:30:17 auth: Debug: client in: CONT 1 == (previous base64 data may contain sensitive data)Oct 18 13:30:17 auth-worker(22515): Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib64/dovecot/authOct 18 13:30:17 auth-worker(22515): Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/lib20_auth_var_expand_crypt.soOct 18 13:30:17 auth-worker(22515): Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libdriver_sqlite.soOct 18 13:30:17 auth-worker(22515): Debug: shadow(joe2,192.168.0.10,<WXv1I4R4FOXAqAAK>): lookupOct 18 13:30:17 auth: Debug: client passdb out: OK 1 user=joe2Oct 18 13:30:17 auth: Debug: master in: REQUEST 2718302209 22513 1 05eac7a2917ce3bc1f0f359b21b138e6 session_pid=22516Oct 18 13:30:17 auth-worker(22515): Debug: passwd(joe2,192.168.0.10,<WXv1I4R4FOXAqAAK>): lookupOct 18 13:30:17 auth: Debug: master userdb out: USER 2718302209 joe2 system_groups_user=joe2 uid=660 gid=661 home=/home/joe2Oct 18 13:30:17 pop3(joe2)<22516><WXv1I4R4FOXAqAAK>: Debug: Effective uid=660, gid=661, home=/home/joe2Oct 18 13:30:17 pop3(joe2)<22516><WXv1I4R4FOXAqAAK>: Debug: Namespace inbox: type=private, prefix=, sep=, inbox=yes, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes location=mbox:~/mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/joe2Oct 18 13:30:17 pop3(joe2)<22516><WXv1I4R4FOXAqAAK>: Debug: fs: root=/home/joe2/mail, index=, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=/var/mail/joe2, alt=Oct 18 13:30:17 pop3(joe2)<22516><WXv1I4R4FOXAqAAK>: Debug: Mailbox INBOX: Mailbox opened because: POP3 INBOXOct 18 13:30:17 pop3(joe2)<22516><WXv1I4R4FOXAqAAK>: Debug: Mailbox INBOX: UID 30: Opened mail because: accessOct 18 13:30:17 pop3(joe2)<22516><WXv1I4R4FOXAqAAK>: Debug: Mailbox INBOX: UID 30: Opened mail because: RETR This is the output with TLS and it works Oct 18 13:30:32 auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=22542)Oct 18 13:30:33 auth: Debug: client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=pop3 secured=tls session=44feJIR4FeXAqAAK lip=192.168.0.37 rip=192.168.0.10 lport=110 rport=58645 ssl_cipher=ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256 ssl_cipher_bits=128 ssl_pfs=ECDH ssl_protocol=TLSv1.2Oct 18 13:30:33 auth: Debug: client passdb out: CONT 1Oct 18 13:30:33 auth: Debug: client in: CONT 1 == (previous base64 data may contain sensitive data)Oct 18 13:30:33 auth-worker(22515): Debug: shadow(joe2,192.168.0.10,<44feJIR4FeXAqAAK>): lookupOct 18 13:30:33 auth: Debug: client passdb out: OK 1 user=joe2Oct 18 13:30:33 auth: Debug: master in: REQUEST 4165992449 22542 1 cb03b70f92c0c5c030e25a39ea4b8518 session_pid=22543Oct 18 13:30:33 auth-worker(22515): Debug: passwd(joe2,192.168.0.10,<44feJIR4FeXAqAAK>): lookupOct 18 13:30:33 auth: Debug: master userdb out: USER 4165992449 joe2 system_groups_user=joe2 uid=660 gid=661 home=/home/joe2Oct 18 13:30:33 pop3(joe2)<22543><44feJIR4FeXAqAAK>: Debug: Effective uid=660, gid=661, home=/home/joe2Oct 18 13:30:33 pop3(joe2)<22543><44feJIR4FeXAqAAK>: Debug: Namespace inbox: type=private, prefix=, sep=, inbox=yes, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes location=mbox:~/mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/joe2Oct 18 13:30:33 pop3(joe2)<22543><44feJIR4FeXAqAAK>: Debug: fs: root=/home/joe2/mail, index=, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=/var/mail/joe2, alt=Oct 18 13:30:33 pop3(joe2)<22543><44feJIR4FeXAqAAK>: Debug: Mailbox INBOX: Mailbox opened because: POP3 INBOXOct 18 13:30:33 pop3(joe2)<22543><44feJIR4FeXAqAAK>: Debug: Mailbox INBOX: UID 30: Opened mail because: accessOct 18 13:30:33 pop3(joe2)<22543><44feJIR4FeXAqAAK>: Debug: Mailbox INBOX: UID 30: Opened mail because: RETROct 18 13:30:33 pop3(joe2)<22543><44feJIR4FeXAqAAK>: Debug: Mailbox INBOX: UID 31: Opened mail because: accessOct 18 13:30:33 pop3(joe2)<22543><44feJIR4FeXAqAAK>: Debug: Mailbox INBOX: UID 31: Opened mail because: RETR

Problems recovering IMAP Data
by Albert Whale 18 Oct '18

18 Oct '18

HELP, I have experience an issue with the long running IMAP service using Dovecot 2.1.15. I have replaced the interface cards (suspected failure), and I have only recently been able to retrieve my Inbox (1.45GB) via POP3 protocol (I normally run IMAP) I am suspecting a corrupted dovecot.index, but which one? I have counted 260 files in my IMAP tree with the word dovecot. I cannot determine which folder is corrupted with 2.1.5 even with the Mail Debug option. How can I recover the use of my IMAP configuration? Thank you.

dovecot passdb driver=checkpassword as external script for block ip

18 Oct '18

Refer to https://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2015-March/099971.html https://wiki.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase I tried to repeat the same thing. Set these passdb: passdb { args = /myscript.sh ip=%r driver = checkpassword result_failure = return-fail result_success = continue } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext ( my working auth method ) driver = sql } Created executable /myscript.sh: #!/bin/sh exit 1 But I saw in the logs: dovecot[15111]: auth: Error: checkpassword(techdept(a)nestormedia.com,192.168.99.128,<Mos6jW94XNzAqGOA>): Child 15115 exited with status 1 dovecot[18016]: imap-login: Login: user=....[successful login] Why result_failure=return-fail from first passdb does not work?

Replication 'noreplicate' field usage
by Phil 17 Oct '18

17 Oct '18

I've set up replication as per the wiki under 2.3.3 and in my SQL user query I am returning a 'noreplicate' field, this is a boolean and returns true for all users at the moment. However when I do "doveadm replicator status '*'" it lists all users in my database suggesting it is trying to sync all users regardless of the noreplicate field. ``` user_query = SELECT home, uid, gid, noreplicate FROM users WHERE address = '%u' ``` It seems that the noreplicate field is being ignored, am I using it correctly?
