Dovecot don't erase mails from storage.
by Carlos Baptista 05 Oct '15

Hi, I have a dovecot installation with a strange problem: all the mails stays in storage after deleted from users mailbox. If user logon after the mails are deleted, they don't receive them any more, but the m.## files aren’t deleted. This happens with pop3 (default for this installation) and/or imap. The dovecot is installed along postfix with mysql and multi-domains support Here's the dovecot conf ######################## dovecot -n # 2.1.7: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-042stab111.11 x86_64 Debian 7.9 auth_mechanisms = plain login first_valid_uid = 111 last_valid_uid = 111 lda_mailbox_autocreate = yes mail_debug = yes mail_gid = vmail mail_plugins = " quota" mail_privileged_group = vmail mail_uid = vmail namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf driver = sql } plugin { mail_log_events = delete undelete expunge copy mailbox_delete mailbox_rename mail_log_fields = uid box msgid size quota = dict:User quota::file:%h/mail/dovecot-quota quota_rule = *:storage=500MB } postmaster_address = sysadmin(a)inside.pt protocols = " imap pop3" service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } } service lmtp { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } } ssl_cert = </etc/dovecot/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = prefetch } userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf driver = sql } protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = " quota sieve" } protocol lda { mail_plugins = " quota" } protocol imap { mail_plugins = " quota imap_quota" } ############################### Here is an example of log file with debug Oct 02 17:50:38 auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=11621) Oct 02 17:50:38 auth: Debug: client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=pop3 secured session=Xiif9iEhmgBV80+u lip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx rip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx lport=995 rport=53914 resp=<hidden> Oct 02 17:50:38 auth-worker(11561): Debug: sql(carla.franjoso(a)xxxxxxx.xx,xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx): query: /* dovecot-sql.conf password_query */ SELECT '/var/vmail/xxxxxx.xx/carla.franjoso' AS userdb_home, 'mdbox:~/mail' AS userdb_mail, 111 AS userdb_uid, 114 AS userdb_gid, CONCAT('*:bytes=', CAST(m.quota AS CHAR)) AS userdb_quota_rule, CONCAT(m.local_part, '@', d.name) AS user, m.password AS password FROM mailboxes AS m LEFT JOIN domains AS d ON m.domain_id = d.id WHERE m.local_part = 'carla.franjoso' AND d.name = 'xxxxxxx.xx' AND m.is_active AND d.is_active Oct 02 17:50:38 auth: Debug: client out: OK 1 user=carla.franjoso(a)xxxxxx.xx Oct 02 17:50:38 auth: Debug: master in: REQUEST 3537633281 11621 1 41ef179d4a37a603ce38c43fab768f78 Oct 02 17:50:38 auth: Debug: prefetch(carla.franjoso(a)xxxxxx.xx,xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx,<Xiif9iEhmgBV80+u>): success Oct 02 17:50:38 auth: Debug: master out: USER 3537633281 carla.franjoso(a)xxxxx.xx home=/var/vmail/xxxxxxxx/carla.franjoso mail=mdbox:~/mail uid=1 11 gid=114 quota_rule=*:bytes=104857600 Oct 02 17:50:38 pop3: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules Oct 02 17:50:38 pop3: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lib10_quota_plugin.so Oct 02 17:50:38 pop3: Debug: Added userdb setting: mail=mdbox:~/mail Oct 02 17:50:38 pop3: Debug: Added userdb setting: plugin/quota_rule=*:bytes=104857600 Oct 02 17:50:38 pop3(carla.franjoso(a)xxxxx.xx): Debug: Effective uid=111, gid=114, home=/var/vmail/xxxxxxxx.xx/carla.franjoso Oct 02 17:50:38 pop3(carla.franjoso(a)xxxxx.xx): Debug: Quota root: name=User quota backend=dict args=:file:/var/vmail/xxxxxxxxx.xx/carla.franjoso/mail/dovecot-quota Oct 02 17:50:38 pop3(carla.franjoso(a)xxxxx.xx): Debug: Quota rule: root=User quota mailbox=* bytes=104857600 messages=0 Oct 02 17:50:38 pop3(carla.franjoso(a)xxxxx.xx): Debug: dict quota: user=carla.franjoso(a)xxxx.xx, uri=file:/var/vmail/xxxxxx,xx/carla.franjoso/mail/dovecot-quot a, noenforcing=0 Oct 02 17:50:38 pop3(carla.franjoso(a)xxxxx.xx): Debug: Namespace inbox: type=private, prefix=, sep=, inbox=yes, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes locatio n=mdbox:~/mail Oct 02 17:50:38 pop3(carla.franjoso(a)xxxxx.xx): Debug: fs: root=/var/vmail/ assis.pt/carla.franjoso/mail, index=, control=, inbox=, alt= Oct 02 17:50:38 pop3(carla.franjoso(a)xxxxx.xx): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions from /var/vmail/xxxxxxx.xx/carla.franjoso/mail: mode=0700 gid=-1 What is "gid=-1" at the end of the log?

Compiling v2.2.19 - internal compiler error: segmentation fault (test-timing.c -> int64_t issue?)
by Guest-X 05 Oct '15

05 Oct '15

Hi, I am trying to compile a 64-build of the latest dovecot v2.2.19 on my SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (x64) system. I've run ./configure with two parameters, the --prefix one and the --with-ssldir one. During the make stage, I am getting the following 'internal compiler error' message : --------------------------------------------- [...] gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../.. -I../../src/lib-test -std=gnu99 -g -O2 -Wall -W -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wpointer-arith -Wchar-subscripts -Wformat=2 -Wbad-function-cast -fno-builtin-strftime -Wstrict-aliasing=2 -MT test_lib-test-timing.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/test_lib-test-timing.Tpo -c -o test_lib-test-timing.o `test -f 'test-timing.c' || echo './'`test-timing.c test-timing.c: In function ‘test_timing’: test-timing.c:48: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault Please submit a full bug report, with preprocessed source if appropriate.

Can somebody help me please ? Thank you for your time.

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.9 for Dovecot v2.2.19
by Stephan Bosch 05 Oct '15

05 Oct '15

Hello Dovecot users, Here is the definitive 0.4.9 release. Only a few minor fixes were done since RC1. Changelog v0.4.9: * Properly implemented checking of ABI version for Sieve interpreter plugins, much like Dovecot itself does for plugins. This will prevent plugin ABI mismatches. + Implemented a vnd.dovecot.environment extension. This builds upon the standard environment extension and adds a few more environment items, such as username and default mailbox. It also creates a variables namespace so that environment items can be accessed directly. I am still thinking about more environment items that can be added. + Sieve extprograms plugin: Made line endings of the input passed to the external programs configurable. This can be configured separately for each of the three extensions. + ManageSieve: Implemented proxy XCLIENT support. This allows the proxy to pass client information to the back-end. - ManageSieve: Fixed an assert failure occurring when a client disconnects during the GETSCRIPT command. - doveadm sieve plugin: Fixed incorrect initialization of mail user. This caused a few memory leaks. - sieve-filter command line tool: Fixed handling of failure-related implicit keep when there is an explicit default destination folder. This caused message duplication. - lib-sieve: Fixed bug in RFC5322 header folding. Words longer than the optimal line length caused empty lines in the output, which would break the resulting message header. This surfaced in References: headers with very long message IDs. The release is available as follows: http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.9.tar… http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.9.tar… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x wiki for more information. Have fun testing this new release and don't hesitate to notify me when there are any problems. Regards, -- Stephan Bosch stephan(a)rename-it.nl

v2.2.19 released
by Timo Sirainen 03 Oct '15

03 Oct '15

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.19.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.19.tar.gz.sig * pop3_deleted_flag has been broken since v2.2.10. Using it would cause buffer overflows, which could be exploitable. However, this bug would have become visible quite soon after users had deleted some POP3 mails, because the pop3 processes would have started crashing all the time even in normal use. * "doveadm director flush" command has a changed meaning now: It safely moves users to their wanted backends, instead of simply forgetting the mapping entirely and leaving the existing connections untouched. Use -F parameter to get the original unsafe behavior. + Added imap-hibernate processes (see imap_hibernate_timeout setting). IDLEing IMAP connections can be hibernated, which saves memory. + Optimized tracking mailboxes' vsizes (= sum of all messages' sizes). If mailbox_list_index=yes, it's also stored in there. This makes it very efficient to look up vsizes for all mailboxes. + Added a quota "count" backend, which uses the mailbox vsizes to get the current quota usage. It requires using the new quota_vsizes=yes setting, which tracks the messages' "virtual sizes" rather than "physical sizes". Their distiction is minor and mostly irrelevant nowadays (if mail sizes should be counted with LF or CRLF newlines). + "doveadm director up/down" commands added. The monitoring script should be using these commands instead of changing the vhost count. This allows admin to manually disable a server by changing the vhost count to 0 without the monitoring script changing it back. + Added support for HAProxy protocol: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HAProxy + Added push-notification plugin framework, which can be used to easily implement push notifications to various backends. Implemented "ox" backend for notifying Open-Xchange via HTTP/json. + imap_logout_format supports more variables now, e.g. number of deleted messages. + pop3: Added pop3_delete_type setting (related to pop3_deleted_flag). + plugin { fts_enforced=yes } setting now fails body searches unless it can be done via the full text search engine. + Added %{passdb:*} and %{userdb:*} variables to various places + auth: Added ":protected" suffix for passdb and userdb fields. If used, the field doesn't overwrite an existing field. + IMAP/POP3 proxy: If a backend server dies, avoid client reconnection spikes by slowly disconnecting clients over time. This is enabled by setting login_proxy_max_disconnect_delay=secs passdb extra field. + imap: Added new read-only METADATA entries: /private/specialuse, /shared/comment, /shared/admin + imap: If client disconnects in the middle of a command, log how long the command had been running. - mdbox: Rebuilding could have caused message's reference count to overflow the 16bit number in some situations, causing problems when trying to expunge the duplicates. - Various search fixes (fts, solr, tika, lib-charset, indexer) - Various virtual plugin fixes - Various fixes and optimizations to dsync, imapc and pop3-migration - imap: Various RFC compliancy and crash fixes to NOTIFY

Re: dovecot quota service for postfix
by Michael Peter 03 Oct '15

Hello, Thanks for the clarifications plugin { quota = maildir:User quota quota_rule = *:storage=1G quota_grace = 10%% # 10% is the default quota_status_success = DUNNO quota_status_nouser = DUNNO quota_status_overquota = "552 5.2.2 Mailbox is full" } The above configurations is my default for all users. but my mail system is using mbox format and not maildir.... so what should i change in the above configuration to use mbox INSTEAD of maildir ?? Also for the quota paramater, can i use (myquota = maildir:User quota) INSTEAD of (quota = maildir:User quota) ?? or it must "QUOTA =" and not any thing else to work ? same for quota_rule parameter, should i add (_rule) after quota to work ??? can i add for example qouta_restriction INSTEAD of quota_rules ?? i am asking this question to better understand how dovecot work.. also last question when i use the following command to get quota for existing system user called michael , it gives me an error as follow, so why dovecot is not able to get the quota for the system users? doveadm quota get -u michael doveadm(michael): Fatal: User doesn't exist Many thanks >> Incase user is underquota, then the email is returned back to postfix for >> processing and delivering email to user mbox, incase user has no sufficient quota then dovecot will inform postfix to reject email.

It simply sends a message to the quota policy service asking if the recipient is over quota.

imap_logout_format improvements / ideas
by Timo Sirainen 03 Oct '15

03 Oct '15

http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.2/rev/93bba97afb2a http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.2/rev/e0a17714f0c9 So all in all, you can now add to imap_logout_format: # %i - total number of bytes read from client # %o - total number of bytes sent to client # %{fetch_hdr_count} - Number of mails with mail header data sent to client # %{fetch_hdr_bytes} - Number of bytes with mail header data sent to client # %{fetch_body_count} - Number of mails with mail body data sent to client # %{fetch_body_bytes} - Number of bytes with mail body data sent to client # %{deleted} - Number of mails where client added \Deleted flag # %{expunged} - Number of mails that client expunged # %{trashed} - Number of mails that client copied/moved to the # special_use=\Trash mailbox. Any thoughts on what else would be useful? I was also thinking about separating (deletes and) expunges from Trash vs non-Trash, but I'm not sure how useful that would be (and what would it be called?) It's also a bit annoying that a copy+expunge to a Trash will return expunged=1 trashed=1, but a move to Trash (via IMAP MOVE) will return expunged=0 trashed=1. But trying to fix that would be too much trouble.

/usr/lib/dovecot/imap exits with an error if stderr closed
by Josh Triplett 01 Oct '15

01 Oct '15

At the end of a direct IMAP conversation with the imap binary, it writes an informative message like "imap(josh): Info: Connection closed in=0 out=365" to stderr. With stderr closed, the imap binary will exit with exit code 81 after it gets EBADF from that write. While it makes sense to fail on failure to write an error message, I don't think it makes sense to fail if writing an info message fails. I encountered this when using /usr/lib/dovecot/imap with mutt's "tunnel" option. Mutt seems to run the configured tunnel program with stderr closed, which triggers this error. - Josh Triplett

Dovecot 1.0.10 - Authenticate against LDAP with multiple sub-trees
by Daniel Heitepriem 01 Oct '15

01 Oct '15

Hi guys, I'm using Dovecot 1.0.10 with LDAP authentication. Below is my dovecot-ldap.conf { hosts = *IP of LDAP server* auth_bind = yes auth_bind_userdn = uid=%u,ou=people,dc=*something*,dc=com ldap_version = 3 base = %u,ou=people,dc=*something*,dc=com deref = never scope = subtree user_filter = (&(objectClass=person)(uid=%u)) } And the current structure: Base | |-- people | | *user entries* | Now I want to update to a LDAP server with the following structure: Base | |-- people | |-- staff | | *user entries* |-- other location | | *user entries* | How can I keep my "auth_bind_userdn" using this new structure? Hopefully somebody can help me :) Regards, Daniel
