Sieve Max Redirect
by Shakeel Shahzad 27 Nov '15

27 Nov '15

Hello, I have configured iRedMail ( 0.9.1) on Ubuntu (14.04 LTS). In my dovecot.conf file, I have set sieve_max_redirects as 500. In dovecot (2.2.9) configuration file, I see sieve_max_redirect as 100 but when I add email addresses more than 32, I see that redirect fails. Can you please help me to see this issue and fix it through? If you need anything from my side, please let me know. Regards... Shakeel

doveadm-backup verbosity?
by Andreas Fischer 27 Nov '15

27 Nov '15

Hi, according to the man page doveadm-backup, the verbosity switch "-v" should do the following: "Enables verbosity, including progress counter" However, i see no difference running the following command with or without the "-v" switch: >>doveadm -v backup -R -A remote:myhost The command itself works without problem, two mailboxes are correctly back-upped, but the output is only an empty line. Not sure if this is expected behavior.

fts_solr does not quote lucene's special characters
by Michael Stilkerich 27 Nov '15

27 Nov '15

Hello, I am using Dovecot 2.2.19 with the solr backend for full text search and experience the following issue. When I issue a search that includes characters that are part of lucene's query syntax (e.g. the double quote character), dovecot does not escape the special characters and issues a request with invalid syntax to the solr server. For example, I search for foo"bar, then my IMAP client (roundcube) sends the following to dovecot: A0003 UID THREAD REFS US-ASCII ALL UNDELETED BODY "foo\"bar" Dovecot in turn uses the following request URI to query SOLR: "GET /solr/select?fl=uid,score&rows=113739&sort=uid+asc&q=body:%22foo%22bar%22&fq=%2Bbox:4d86808c56d44282b35cea8700dda537+%2Buser:%22myuser%22 HTTP/1.1" 400 994 Solr responds with error 400 and the following body: type Status report message null description The request sent by the client was syntactically incorrect. This is because the " character in foo"bar is not quoted in the solr request. When I adapt the request to quote the " character solr succeeds with the expected result: "GET /solr/select?fl=uid,score&rows=113739&sort=uid+asc&q=body:%22foo%5C%22bar%22&fq=%2Bbox:4d86808c56d44282b35cea8700dda537+%2Buser:%22myuser%22 HTTP/1.1" 200 535 A fix for this would be highly appreciated. Cheers, Michael

auth_request_get_var_expand test fails on big endian arches.
by Rafael dos Santos 27 Nov '15

27 Nov '15

Hi, when running the tests in a big endian machine, I get the following error: 0 / 1 tests failed test-auth-request-var-expand.c:99: Assert failed: strcmp(str_c(str), test_output) == 0 test-auth-request-var-expand.c:104: Assert failed: strcmp(str_c(str), test_output) == 0 auth request var expand short and long ............................... : FAILED test: random seed #1 was 1446803094 auth request var expand flags ........................................ : ok test-auth-request-var-expand.c:158: Assert failed: strcmp(str_c(str), test_output) == 0 auth request var expand long-only .................................... : FAILED auth request var expand usernames .................................... : ok auth request var expand funcs ........................................ : ok 2 / 5 tests failed Makefile:1257: recipe for target 'check-test' failed Looking into it I found that auth_request_get_var_expand_table ends up calling the net_ip2addr function. This function, in turn, uses ntohl to convert from network byte order to host byte order. In big endian machines, that means that the string output will be ------------- big endian --------------- +user@+domain1@+domain2 +user +domain1@+domain2 +service 7.91.205.21 73.150.2.210 54321 +password +mech secured 21 210 valid instead of ---------- expected output --------- +user@+domain1@+domain2 +user +domain1@+domain2 +service 21.205.91.7 210.2.150.73 54321 +password +mech secured 21 210 valid Let me know in case you need help testing on big endian arches.

IMAP COPY creates invalid index data with zlib and mail_log plugins enabled but zlib_save off
by Robert L Mathews 27 Nov '15

27 Nov '15

I've noticed that maildir IMAP COPY commands can generate invalid dovecot.index entries when all seven of the following are true: - The zlib plugin is enabled; - The zlib_save/zlib_save_level options are NOT enabled; - The source message being copied is compressed; - The mail_log plugin is logging "copy" events; - The mail_log_fields setting includes at least one message header; - The destination mailbox folder has an index file that is recording the logged headers; - The source mailbox folder does NOT have an index file recording the logged headers. In this situation, copying a message results in an index entry in the destination that has all the headers blank, like this: RECORD: seq=5, uid=182415, flags=0x08 (Seen) - ext 1 modseq : 3 (0300000000000000) - ext 2 cache : 2352 (30090000) - cache offset=2352 size=120, prev_offset = 0 - hdr.FROM: - hdr.MESSAGE-ID: - hdr.SUBJECT: - hdr.DATE: - hdr.BCC: - hdr.CC: - hdr.CONTENT-TYPE: - hdr.IN-REPLY-TO: - hdr.NEWSGROUPS: - hdr.PRIORITY: - hdr.REFERENCES: - hdr.REPLY-TO: - hdr.TO: - hdr.X-PRIORITY: For these copies, the mail_log plugin records blank header data in the log, too, like this (despite the message having a valid message-ID, from, and subject): Oct 29 21:11:42 wheezy dovecot: imap[31763]: user=<1(a)example.com> ip=192.168.0.4 session=RV/MmUojyADAqAAE copy from INBOX.Saved: box=INBOX.Trash, uid=182412, msgid=, size=1357, vsize=1392, from=, subject=, flags=(\Seen) I've found this occurs in at least Dovecot 2.1.7, 2.2.13, and 2.2.18 (all packaged Debian versions). Changing any of the seven things I mentioned above fixes it. I've tried to find the code that causes this, but not yet been successful. My theory is that when the mail_log plugin calls mail_get_first_header(), and there's no index header record to read it from, it looks at the real message on disk. Perhaps it somehow operates on a compressed copy of the message although it expects uncompressed plaintext, so it doesn't find any of the headers. The "missing" headers then get cached to the destination index file as a side-effect. The copied maildir message itself is fine, by the way. It's an identical, still-compressed copy of the original message. And deleting the destination "dovecot.index*" files that contain the bad data causes Dovecot to rebuild the index with the correct header data. It's unusual to use the zlib plugin without the zlib_save/zlib_save_level options enabled, of course. That's probably why (as far as I can tell) there have been no reports of this before. I noticed it only because I was testing a small amount of manual mail compression before deploying it for all mail.

Problems Converting from Cyrus to Dovecot (cyrus2dovecot)
by Forrest 27 Nov '15

27 Nov '15

I have been attempting to use the cyrus2dovecot script, to no avail. I have many years of content that I want to convert from Cyrus to Dovecot; with the above not working, what are other options out there? Another idea I had is simply set up another IMAP server (using Dovecot) and drag-and-drop and just wait, which I may end up doing. In the above, I copied over my entire /var/imap and /var/spool/imap to another system; there is only one account (mine), so calling the script was fairly easy; it just doesn't work. inboxes=the "myaccount" that was copied over /home/myaccount/cyrus2dovecot --cyrus-inbox /home/myaccount/inboxes/%u \ --cyrus-seen /home/myaccount/varimap/user/%h/%u.seen \ --cyrus-sub /home/varimap/user/%h/%u.sub \ --dovecot-inbox /home/myaccount/dovecot/Maildir \ myaccount the log output complains of: cyrus2dovecot [myaccount]: (warning) Index record missing for: INBOX/62020. and correctly complains about squat indices, as that's not a file it would handle. There is no output into the Maildir, however. All directory paths are correct. Thanks.

imap logging ?
by mancyborg＠gmail.com 27 Nov '15

27 Nov '15

Hi I'm trying to log my users imap actions, like when creating a folder, moving an email or deleting an email. So I've enabled 'mail_debug' and I'm checking /var/log/dovecot/debug.log this is what happens when I delete an email: Nov 26 07:46:38 auth-worker(1555): Debug: sql(XXX,127.0.0.1): query: SELECT password FROM mailbox WHERE username = 'XXX' and active = 1 and restrictedAccess = 0 Nov 26 07:46:38 auth: Debug: client out: OK 1 user=XXX Nov 26 07:46:38 auth-worker(1555): Debug: sql(XXX,127.0.0.1): SELECT '/var/vmail/XXX/XXX' as home, 5000 AS uid, 5000 AS gid, concat('*:storage=', quota) AS quota_rule FROM mailbox WHERE username = 'XXX' Nov 26 07:46:38 auth: Debug: master out: USER 374472705 XXX home=/var/vmail/XXX/XXX uid=5000 gid=5000 quota_rule=*:storage=524288 Nov 26 07:46:38 imap(XXX): Debug: Effective uid=5000, gid=5000, home=/var/vmail/XXX/XXX Nov 26 07:46:38 imap(XXX): Debug: Quota root: name=User quota backend=maildir args= Nov 26 07:46:38 imap(XXX): Debug: Quota rule: root=User quota mailbox=* bytes=536870912 messages=0 Nov 26 07:46:38 imap(XXX): Debug: Quota rule: root=User quota mailbox=Trash bytes=+104857600 messages=0 Nov 26 07:46:38 imap(XXX): Debug: maildir++: root=/var/vmail/XXX/XXX/Maildir, index=/var/vmail/XXX/XXX/Maildir/indexes, control=, inbox=/var/vmail/XXX/XXX/Maildir, alt= and when creating a folder, access an email or moving an email, the output is basically the same: I'm unable to find the actual IMAP command. So, question: is there a way to log IMAP commands to a file ? Thank you, Mike

dsync imapc authentication mechanisms

I'm trying to use dsync to mirror mail onto a remote IMAP server. The remote server is generating an error that authentication via plain text is not permitted. Does dsync imapc support any non-clear-text authentication mechanisms?
