v2.2.33 release candidate released
by Timo Sirainen 05 Oct '17

05 Oct '17

https://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2.33.rc1.tar.gz https://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2.33.rc1.tar.gz.sig There are a couple more small changes still coming, but this should be very close to the final release. I'm especially interested in hearing if there are any problems with doveadm log proxying or with director. We've improved our automated director tests quite a lot now, and fixed some rarely occurring bugs. * doveadm director commands wait for the changes to be visible in the whole ring before they return. This is especially useful in testing. * Environments listed in import_environment setting are now set or preserved when executing standalone commands (e.g. doveadm) + doveadm proxy: Support proxying logs. Previously the logs were visible only in the backend's logs. + Added %{if}, see https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Variables#Conditionals + Added a new notify_status plugin, which can be used to update dict with current status of a mailbox when it changes. See https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/NotifyStatus + Mailbox list index can be disabled for a namespace by appending ":LISTINDEX=" to location setting. + dsync/imapc: Added dsync_hashed_headers setting to specify which headers are used to match emails. + pop3-migration: Add pop3_migration_ignore_extra_uidls=yes to ignore mails that are visible in POP3 but not IMAP. This could happen if new mails were delivered during the migration run. + pop3-migration: Further improvements to help with Zimbra + pop3-migration: Cache POP3 UIDLs in imapc's dovecot.index.cache if indexes are enabled. These are used to optimize incremental syncs. + cassandra, dict-sql: Use prepared statements if protocol version>3. - sdbox: Mails were always opened when expunging, unless mail_attachment_fs was explicitly set to empty. - lmtp/doveadm proxy: hostip passdb field was ignored, which caused unnecessary DNS lookups if host field wasn't an IP - lmtp proxy: Fix crash when receiving unexpected reply in RCPT TO - quota_clone: Update also when quota is unlimited (broken in v2.2.31) - mbox, zlib: Fix assert-crash when accessing compressed mbox - doveadm director kick -f parameter didn't work - doveadm director flush <host> resulted flushing all hosts, if <host> wasn't an IP address. - director: Various fixes to handling backend/director changes at abnormal times, especially while ring was unsynced. These could have resulted in crashes, non-optimal behavior or ignoring some of the changes. - director: Use less CPU in imap-login processes when moving/kicking many users. - lmtp: Session IDs were duplicated/confusing with multiple RCPT TOs when lmtp_rcpt_check_quota=yes - doveadm sync -1 fails when local mailboxes exist that do not exist remotely. This commonly happened when lazy_expunge mailbox was autocreated when incremental sync expunged mails.

Issue with imap folder structure

STAT command error
by Andrew Charnley 04 Oct '17

04 Oct '17

Hi, Unsure if my previous message made it through as didn't see it on a digest. I'm using Claws Email and 3 of 4 email accounts keep giving; [10:50:45] POP< +OK Dovecot ready. [10:50:45] POP> USER sales [10:50:45] POP< +OK [10:50:45] POP> PASS ******** [10:50:45] POP< +OK Logged in. [10:50:45] POP> STAT [10:50:45] POP< -ERR Unknown command: *** error occurred on POP session *** Error occurred while processing mail. I've turned on as much logging as I can find in Dovecot but nothing useful is coming out, it honestly does believe STAT is invalid - I can see the connection close rather than disconnect. It's strange how it works for one account but not others, the settings are identical - I went through them with a fine tooth comb. Any suggestions appreciated. Regards, Andrew

ACL permission: give permission to move email into different folder
by Davide Marchi 03 Oct '17

03 Oct '17

Hi friends, I've set ACL for two user (two primary email address, no alias), where these users must not be able to delete email from imap server. Now I would like to add (from the client) the ability to move any incoming mail into different directory, if possible into an existing directory chosen by me. These are the settings on /etc/dovecot/dovecot.acl: * user=foo(a)mydomain.com lrwsip * user=info(a)mydomain.com lrwsip is it possible? I've read https://wiki2.dovecot.org/ACL but I've not found a solution. many many thanks! Davide

Postfix + saslauthd SASL With Kerberos (FreeIPA) unable to send mail
by Anvar Kuchkartaev 03 Oct '17

03 Oct '17

Hello I just finished setting up FreeIPA with Dovecot + Postfix + Saslauthd. I can easily access to mails using imap via dovecot with gssapi authentication and postfix also delivering mails very well. But I cannot send email from postfix using gssapi authentication (plain and login authentication working fine) because saslauthd is not specifying realm when requesting service from freeipa domain. warning: SASL authentication failure: GSSAPI Error: Unspecified GSS failure. Minor code may provide more information (No key table entry found matching smtp/mx0.aegisnet.eu@) right form of request is smtp/mx0.aegisnet.eu(a)AEGISNET.EU I googled alot but couldn't find any solution to solve this problem. How to configure saslauthd well that it will use realm to contact with freeipa. Best Regards...

dovecot listening imaps external interface
by David Mehler 02 Oct '17

02 Oct '17

Hello, I'm trying to get dovecot to listen on specific interfaces. On the server itself I've got webmail going so am needing imap on 143. I do not want this on the external server interface, so I am wanting imaps port 993 external only. The configuration looks right, but Dovecot isn't showing anything listening on port 993 at all. Unrelated, my public and shared folders are not working. Can anyone suggest fixes for either of these issues? Thanks.

Quota - frustrated trying to configure ...
by Garry Glendown 02 Oct '17

02 Oct '17

Hi, after fighting Dovecot almost every step of the way, I have finally gotten most of the functions configured on a customer box (used Cyrus on a previous install, but it was dropped from SLES 12 ...) The mail server setup uses LDAP for user authentication, has a central maildir tree (.../dovecot/maildir/<USER>/...) that is used for all users' mail, sieve is also running well. The users themselves are just virtual users, they do not have a local home directory or anything. I was now trying to get Quota to work ... Looking at the Wiki more or less showed the same "spotty" results of the rest of the Wiki. Fine for anybody that needs the documentation just as a reference, but somewhat lacking for someone that does not have experience in setting up Dovecot. I tried following the wiki, as well as checking on other web pages I came across. In order to keep the setup simple, and not have to jump through hoops to set up any SQL backup etc., I tried using a file-based storage of the quota entries, as in: dict { quota = file:/data/dovecot/db/quota.db } I also added quota entries in the other places I believe are necessary, and set up a rule like this: plugin { quota_rule = *:storage=1G quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+100M } I got through dovecot restart without errors, and IMAP still answers. But attempting to do a recalculation of the current quota usage ends up with this error: doveadm(root): Error: chdir(/root/) failed: Permission denied (euid=479(dovecot) egid=478(dovecot) missing +x perm: /root, dir owned by 0:0 mode=0700) doveadm(root): Error: chdir(/root) failed: Permission denied It looks like dovecot doesn't actually attempt to look at the central maildir, but instead seems to attempt to enter the current user's homedir (which, in this case, is root). What am I (possibly) missing here? Is this way of setting it up even viable? While I need a general per-user-quota, I also need the ability to overwrite each user's default quota ... is there any recommendable more detailed documentation on how to set up quota? Thanks, -garry

[PLUGIN] Virtual keywords (aka Gmail-like labels)
by Daniele Ricci 02 Oct '17

02 Oct '17

Hello list, I'm new here and since I've been working on a plugin lately I though I'd post it here. It's GPL licensed, hosted on GitHub: https://github.com/daniele-athome/dovecot-virtual-keywords-plugin I've been trying to find a replacement for Gmail and I already have my own mailserver. What I'm missing very much is labels. Since folders don't really match labels, I had to implement something that at least resembles them. I decided to use IMAP keywords since it's probably the closest thing to labels. The README in the repository pretty much describes what this plugin do, but basically it creates virtual mailboxes with predefined rules to match for labeled messages. E.g. if you set a "Urgent" keyword on any message, the plugin will create a "Virtual/Urgent" virtual mailbox that will have the message you just labeled. I'm a bit out of practice on C but I believe I managed. I've tested the plugin locally but I've not deployed it on my production mail server yet. I'd like to hear your opinions (reviews and comments are very welcome) and possibly find other people interested in this approach to discuss about it. Thanks! -- Daniele
