doveadm search -A tries to create mailboxes
by Bill Shirley 08 Jan '16

[0:root@elmo ~]$ rpm -q dovecot dovecot-2.2.18-2.fc22.x86_64 I got a surprise today when I tried the doveadm search function from: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Expire [0:root@elmo ~]$ doveadm search -A mailbox Trash savedbefore 30d doveadm(clamscan): Error: User initialization failed: Namespace '': mkdir(//Maildir) failed: Permission denied (euid=982(clamscan) egid=289(clamscan) missing +w perm: /, dir owned by 0:0 mode=0555) doveadm(clamscan): Error: User init failed doveadm(nm-openconnect): Error: User initialization failed: Namespace '': mkdir(//Maildir) failed: Permission denied (euid=986(nm-openconnect) egid=293(nm-openconnect) missing +w perm: /, dir owned by 0:0 mode=0555) doveadm(nm-openconnect): Error: User init failed doveadm(openvpn): Error: User initialization failed: Namespace '': mkdir(/etc/openvpn/Maildir) failed: Permission denied (euid=987(openvpn) egid=296(openvpn) missing +w perm: /etc/openvpn, dir owned by 0:0 mode=0755) doveadm(openvpn): Error: User init failed .. plus several more I wouldn't think the search function (or any operation) would try to create mailboxes. These are system user ids that don't have or need mailboxes. Is this correct? Bill

doveadm import - strange warning
by Ralf Hildebrandt 08 Jan '16

08 Jan '16

I'm using the doveadm import command to extract mails from my backup: % doveadm import -u restore(a)backup.invalid mdbox:/home/copymail/mdbox "" \ mailbox INBOX header Delivered-To backup+$SEARCHPATTERN(a)backup.invalid This works like a charm, I'm getting all the mails, and I can access the newly generated mailbox. But when executing the command I'm getting an annoying warning: doveadm(restore(a)backup.invalid): Error: chdir(/root/) failed: Permission denied (euid=1001(copymail) egid=1001(copymail) missing +x perm: /root, dir owned by 0:0 mode=0700) doveadm(restore(a)backup.invalid): Error: chdir(/root) failed: Permission denied I'm using a file based authentication: # cat passwd restore@backup.invalid:{SHA}+/...the.hash...:1001:1001:(gecos):/home/restore:: So why is "restore(a)backup.invalid" being associated with /root? I'm using 2:2.2.18-1~auto+91, but the warning has been around for ages :) -- [*] sys4 AG http://sys4.de, +49 (89) 30 90 46 64 Franziskanerstraße 15, 81669 München Sitz der Gesellschaft: München, Amtsgericht München: HRB 199263 Vorstand: Patrick Ben Koetter, Marc Schiffbauer Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender: Florian Kirstein

strange interaction with MacOSX calendar server
by Jim Reid 08 Jan '16

08 Jan '16

I’ve installed and configured Apple’s calendar server. It seems to be working just fine. However it keeps trying to speak to my IMAP server — don’t know why — and the authentication attempts fail every 30 seconds or so. Here’s what’s in the calendar server logs: 2016-01-07 22:42:38+0000 [-] [caldav-1] [IMAP4DownloadProtocol (TLSMemoryBIOProtocol),client] [txdav.caldav.datastore.scheduling.imip.inbound.IMAP4DownloadProtocol#error] IMAP login failed for com.apple.calendarserver 2016-01-07 22:43:08+0000 [-] [caldav-1] [IMAP4DownloadProtocol (TLSMemoryBIOProtocol),client] [txdav.caldav.datastore.scheduling.imip.inbound.IMAP4DownloadProtocol#error] IMAP login failed for com.apple.calendarserver 2016-01-07 22:43:39+0000 [-] [caldav-1] [IMAP4DownloadProtocol (TLSMemoryBIOProtocol),client] [txdav.caldav.datastore.scheduling.imip.inbound.IMAP4DownloadProtocol#error] IMAP login failed for com.apple.calendarserver And in dovecot’s logs I see: Jan 7 22:47:43 hutch dovecot[63067]: imap-login: Disconnected (auth failed, 2 attempts in 4 secs): user=<com.apple.calendarserver>, method=PLAIN, rip=195.54.233.70, lip=195.54.233.70, TLS, session=<wkMAQsYoVADDNulG> Jan 7 22:48:10 hutch dovecot[63067]: auth-worker(65378): Error: pam(com.apple.calendarserver,195.54.233.70): pam_acct_mgmt() failed: permission denied Jan 7 22:48:14 --- last message repeated 1 time --- Jan 7 22:48:14 hutch dovecot[63067]: imap-login: Disconnected (auth failed, 2 attempts in 4 secs): user=<com.apple.calendarserver>, method=PLAIN, rip=195.54.233.70, lip=195.54.233.70, TLS, session=<dSvTQ8YoXQDDNulG> Jan 7 22:48:40 hutch dovecot[63067]: auth-worker(65378): Error: pam(com.apple.calendarserver,195.54.233.70): pam_acct_mgmt() failed: permission denied Jan 7 22:48:44 --- last message repeated 1 time — I tweaked dovecot to use AUTH PLAIN as well as CRAM-MD5.

Thanks. The endless error messages in the log don’t seem to be causing any problems to either the mail setup or the calendaer server. Famous last words… However they are a bit annoying and probably point to an underlying problem or misconfiguration that really should be fixed. By the way, the password used by the calendar server is for my MacOSX login (which should be getting picked up via PAM, right?) while a different one is used for the SMTP/IMAP MD5 challenge-response. I hope someone can clear up my confusion.

Mapping of INBOX.INBOX breaks imapc_list_prefix=INBOX?
by Peer Heinlein 07 Jan '16

07 Jan '16

We're running a huge imapc-Migration from an old Courier-IMAP to Dovecot. Courier always uses "INBOX."-prefix for his folders, so we set namespace inbox { [...] separator = . prefix = INBOX. [...] } on our new Dovecot 2.2.20 system. And also we added: imapc_list_prefix=INBOX to avoid the dublication of the INBOX prefix. At the end, doveadm/dsync/imapc see "INBOX.Virus", adds his Prefix, has "INBOX.INBOX.Virus", deletes his imapc_list_prefix and the end we have "INBOX.Virus" again which is identical to the source folder from Courier. Works perfect BUT: It looks like there is a "hidden feature" in Dovecot that always maps "INBOX.INBOX" back to "INBOX". For me that looks like a workaround for broken mailclients to fix some of the common problems after changing the namespace prefix. I never heard about that "hidden feature", but even if I don't (!) have INBOX.INBOX: root@imap01:~/MIGRATION # doveadm mailbox list -u test INBOX INBOX.Virus INBOX.Spam INBOX.Trash I'm always able to access INBOX.INBOX which is identical to INBOX: root@imap01:~/MIGRATION # doveadm fetch -u test uid mailbox INBOX.INBOX uid: 1 Looks like there is such a magic-mapping and looks like this "hard coded mapping" (?) breaks the imapc_list_prefix-magic. If the user has on the SOURCE-server (Courier): Source-Server: INBOX (5 messages) INBOX.Inbox (3 messages) and I do migrate that user using doveadm/dsync/imapc, this user has on the DESTINATION-server (Dovecot) Destination-server: INBOX (5 messages) INBOX.Inbox (5 messages from "real INBOX") and his 3 messages from INBOX.Inbox are lost. I can NOT find any errors in the debug/error-output of doveadm/dsync/imapc. From the view of doveadm everything worked perfect as you can see in the attached logfile. Or am I completly wrong?!

Replication - user permissions
by Petter Gunnerud 05 Jan '16

05 Jan '16

When setting up dsync for replication, what should the user permissions be for sync over ssh? I'm running virtual users only. Postfix and Dovecot services run as mail:mail. All the maildir folders are owned by mail:mail and permissions are 700. User mail is not allowed login. So whats the best practice in respect to security to allow for dsync over ssh? So of the options I consider: 1) change postfix/dovecot settings so that maildirs are created with 770 permissions, then create a user dsync:mail that is allowed for ssh login. 2) permit user mail to login using ssh 3)go with tcp sync rather than ssh Other suggestions?

Replication - hostname issue
by Petter Gunnerud 05 Jan '16

05 Jan '16

I have postfix/dovecot setup on a virtual gentoo server. It's been in service for almost two years without any issues. Now I want to set up a spare server to replicate mails from the one running. I copied the vm files to the second host server, changed the ip, hostname and hosts file for the copy and followed the dovecot replication doc. The last point in the doc tells to rundovecot --hostdomainto make sure the hostnames differ... To my surprise the command returned "localhost" on both servers. How do I set the hostname for dovecot service?(The hostname command returns the servers hostnames.)Will a change in dovecot hostname make all clients redownload all their mail? A second question. When configuring dovecot replication. Should the settings be done on the master server or the stand by server, or both? (Doc doesn't say anything regarding this) PG
