userdb username change ignored when using (My)SQL was: Re: userdb username changed

Hi! It works when using LDAP. I've duplicated the "username change" debug line, just to see that the variables are really updated: Apr 20 14:30:27 imap21 dovecot: auth-worker(27127): Debug: sql(ppp(a)example.net): username changed ppp(a)example.net -> uppp Apr 20 14:30:27 imap21 dovecot: auth-worker(27127): Debug: sql(uppp): username changed uppp -> uppp Apr 20 14:30:27 imap21 dovecot: auth: Debug: userdb out: USER#0111#011ppp@example.net#011home=/home/ppp#011uid=500#011gid=500#011quota_rule=*:storage=3100b:messages=1024 And the answer is of course yes. Just the userdb out string has the wrong value. The right value is lost somewhere. But where? Regards, Peter Log of the (for me unusable) LDAP query: Apr 20 14:28:07 imap21 dovecot: auth: Debug: master in: USER#0111#011m2500j6#011service=doveadm Apr 20 14:28:07 imap21 dovecot: auth: Debug: ldap(m2500j6): user search: base=ou=Users,ou=Mail,dc=bnet,dc=at scope=subtree filter=(uid=m2500j6) fields=mailHost Apr 20 14:28:07 imap21 dovecot: auth: Debug: ldap(m2500j6): result: mailHost=localhost; mailHost unused Apr 20 14:28:07 imap21 dovecot: auth: Debug: ldap(m2500j6): username changed m2500j6 -> localhost Apr 20 14:28:07 imap21 dovecot: auth: Debug: ldap(localhost): username changed localhost -> localhost Apr 20 14:28:07 imap21 dovecot: auth: Debug: ldap(localhost): result: mailHost=localhost Apr 20 14:28:07 imap21 dovecot: auth: Debug: userdb out: USER#0111#011localhost#011

doveadm-server does NOT know fts commands

Hi, I'm using Dovecot 2.2.13 with Dovecot Director, Doveadm server and FTS. I want to run doveadm on Director hosts, but Dovecot server on backend hosts reject "fts *" commands. On Dovecot Director hosts: # doveadm fts optimize -u u0001(a)example.jp # echo $? 75 # doveadm fts rescan -u u0001(a)example.jp # echo $? 75 doveadm index -u u0001(a)example.jp INBOX # echo $? 0 On Dovecot backend hosts: # grep doveadm /var/log/maillog Jul 14 10:25:40 backend dovecot: doveadm: Error: doveadm: Client sent unknown command: fts optimize Jul 14 10:25:51 backend dovecot: doveadm: Error: doveadm: Client sent unknown command: fts rescan Is this doveadm-server restriction? On Dovecot backend hosts (2): # doveadm fts optimize -u u0001(a)example.jp -S /var/run/dovecot/doveadm-server # echo $? 75 # doveadm fts rescan -u u0001(a)example.jp -S /var/run/dovecot/doveadm-server # echo $? 75 # doveadm index -u u0001(a)example.jp -S /var/run/dovecot/doveadm-server INBOX # echo $? 0 # doveadm fts optimize -u u0001(a)example.jp # echo $? 0 # doveadm fts rescan -u u0001(a)example.jp # echo $? 0 # doveadm index -u u0001(a)example.jp INBOX # echo $? 0 -- -- Name: SATOH Fumiyasu @ OSS Technology Corp.

LIST command should not interpret wildcards in reference
by Robert Siemer 16 Dec '15

16 Dec '15

Hello everyone, I believe this is erroneously implemented in Dovecot: >>> for i in c.list_folders('deleteme.*.folder', '%'): ... print(i) ... ((b'\\HasNoChildren',), b'.', 'deleteme.*.folder') ((b'\\HasNoChildren',), b'.', 'deleteme.deleteme.deleteme.folder') We see here an interactive python session, which launches LIST "deleteme.*.folder" "%" over the wire and receives two mailboxes as answer. The response is already parsed, but that’s not important for my point: according to RFC3501 section 6.3.8 LIST Command, the arguments are “reference name” and “mailbox name with possible wildcards”. Both arguments are allowed to contain wildcard characters, but they have no special meaning in the reference. Dovecot 2.2.18 doesn’t do that right: the second mailbox should not be listed, because it is not a subfolder of reference. Is this a known issue? Regards, Robert

Dovecot SASL and GSSAPI (IPA)
by Ranbir 15 Dec '15

15 Dec '15

Hi Everyone, I'm currently using dovecot SASL in postfix and passwd-file in dovecot for authenticating my users. I want to switch to using IPA instead. I have both the postfix (mailman01) and dovecot (mailman02) servers joined to the IPA domain. I have GSSAPI working in dovecot for IMAP. But, the SASL GSSAPI authentication in postfix fails with this error: warning: unknown[10.200.5.100]: SASL GSSAPI authentication failed: This is what dovecot logs: Dec 12 22:31:54 mailman02 dovecot: auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=0) Dec 12 22:31:54 mailman02 dovecot: auth: Debug: client in: AUTH 1 GSSAPI service=smtp nologin lip=10.200.9.14 rip=10.200.5.100 secured resp=<hidden> Dec 12 22:31:54 mailman02 dovecot: auth: Debug: gssapi(?,10.200.5.100): Obtaining credentials for smtp(a)mailman02.theinside.rnr Dec 12 22:31:54 mailman02 dovecot: auth: gssapi(?,10.200.5.100): While processing incoming data: Unspecified GSS failure. Minor code may provide more information Dec 12 22:31:54 mailman02 dovecot: auth: gssapi(?,10.200.5.100): While processing incoming data: Wrong principal in request Dec 12 22:31:56 mailman02 dovecot: auth: Debug: client passdb out: FAIL 1 I've tried changing the "smtpd_sasl_local_domain" in postfix's main.cf file to "mailman02.theinside.rnr", but I get the same errors in dovecot and postfix. Right now the config in postfix looks like this: import_environment="KRB5_KTNAME=/etc/postfix/smtp.keytab" smtpd_sasl_local_domain = mailman01.theoutside.rnr Does what I'm trying to do make sense? If so, how do I fix it? Do I have to stop using dovecot sasl in postfix and switch to cyrus sasl? -- Ranbir

Ideas needed for archiving
by Ben 15 Dec '15

15 Dec '15

I've been asked by a user whether it's possible to stop their IMAP client downloading messages older than a given date. Whilst I'm guessing it may well be possible to do this client-side using folders and subscriptions, it got me thinking .... is there a way to do this server side on dovecot ? i.e. is there a way to "hide" messages from a user without having to archive them off into a seperate account ? thanks

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.10 for Dovecot v2.2.21
by Stephan Bosch 14 Dec '15

14 Dec '15

Hello Dovecot users, I got a bit stalled by our recent switch to Git, but here is the final v0.4.10 release of Pigeonhole for Dovecot v2.2.21. Nothing of consequence changed since the last RC. Changelog v0.4.10: + Implemented the Sieve mime and foreverypart extensions (RFC 5703). These are fully implemented. The interaction with the editheader extension needs some work, but this should not influence most uses; i.e., changes by the editheader extension are not always visible using foreverypart/mime. + Sieve body extension: Properly implemented the `:text' body transform. It now extracts text for HTML message parts. + Sieve enotify extension: mailto method: Implemented the sieve_notify_mailto_envelope_from setting. This allows configuring the source of the notification sender address for e-mail notifications. This is similar to what already can be configured for redirect. + Added a sieve_enabled (defaults to 'yes') setting that allows explicitly disabling Sieve processing for particular users. This used to be possible by setting `sieve=', but ever since the sieve_before, sieve_after and sieve_default settings were added, this method was not reliable anymore. - variables extension: Fixed handling of empty string by the `:length' set modifier. An empty string yielded an empty string rather than "0". - Fixed memory leak in the Sieve script byte code dumping facility. Extension contexts were never actually freed. - Fixed handling of implicit keep when the last Sieve script is a global one. In that case the implicit keep action was executed in global context, which could mean that trivial (quota) errors ended up in the system log file, rather than the user log file. - doveadm sieve plugin: Fixed crashes caused by incorrect context allocation in the sieve command implementations. The release is available as follows: http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.10… http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.10… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x wiki for more information. Have fun testing this release and don't hesitate to notify me when there are any problems. Regards, -- Stephan Bosch stephan(a)rename-it.nl

v2.2.21 released
by Timo Sirainen 13 Dec '15

13 Dec '15

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.21.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.21.tar.gz.sig Due to a bit bad doveadm bugs in v2.2.20 here's a fixed v2.2.21. Also from this release forward we're finally using git with branches to make new releases. So new releases will have a bit more time to stabilize in the branch before they're being released (while still allowing new features to be developed in the master development branch). We already did something like this for the enterprise releases, but now it's done for community releases as well. - doveadm mailbox list (and some others) were broken in v2.2.20 - director: Fixed making backend changes when running with only a single director server. - virtual plugin: Fixed crash when trying to open nonexistent autocreated backend mailbox.
