Out of bounds read error in wildcard_match.c
by Hanno Böck 27 Jun '15

27 Jun '15

Hi, I discovered an out of bounds read error in the file wildcard_match.c. Here's the code: /* find the end of each string */ while (*(++mask)); mask--; while (*(++data)); data--; The problem with this: It will search for the end of the strings (zero-terminated), but it'll only start at position 1, not at position 0 (because the ++ in front of the variable will first increment and then return the value). However these strings can be empty. This can be fixed by changing ++mask to mask++ (and same for data), then there must be a -=2 instead of -- afterwards. See attached patch. I found this by compiling dovecot with address sanitizer and running the test suite. cu, -- Hanno Böck http://hboeck.de/ mail/jabber: hanno(a)hboeck.de GPG: BBB51E42

"Sensible" location for Sieve scripts
by Andrew Beverley 26 Jun '15

26 Jun '15

I'm configuring some Sieve scripts for virtual users. I'd like to keep the Sieve scripts somewhere "sensible". Currently, all the mail goes into /var/mail/vhosts/<domain>/<mailbox> So I thought a good place for the sieve script might be in there as well, for example: /var/mail/vhosts/example.com/username/sieve Is there any reason *not* to store the sieve scripts in the same location as the mail? Thanks, Andy

replication notification with chroot users
by Tim Kuijsten 25 Jun '15

25 Jun '15

I'm getting the following error when using dovecot replication: dovecot: imap(foo(a)bar.com): Error: open(/var/dovecot/replication-notify-fifo) failed: No such file or directory I guess this has something to do with the fact that every user is chrooted in it's own homedir. Does dsync support dsync notification when all users are chrooted? lmtp does not seem to have this problem so new mails get replicated, but status changes don't.

Hello, I am currently trying to setup dovecot with a director instance and have managed to configure to invocations of dovecot on my server but my dovecot log keeps giving me errors about authentication.

Namespace Translation / IMAP Proxying
by Daniel van Ham Colchete 25 Jun '15

25 Jun '15

Hello everyone! About three years ago we migrated from Courier do Dovecot using the procedure at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Migration/Courier. So we have a namespace prefix os "INBOX.". We are trying to implement the SOGo collaboration with Exchange ActiveSync integration with Android Lollipop devices. So, in this exact configuration (namespace prefix + ActiveSync + Android Lollipop) things dont work really well [1]. I'm trying to get an IMAP Proxy of any kind in front of my Dovecot system to translate my namespaces when SOGo connects to it. So instead of presenting INBOX and INBOX.Sent it should show INBOX and Sent. I tried to do it with imapc but couldn't find any configuration that would allow it. I also looked at Perdition IMAP Proxy and NGINX but couldn't find it there also. Does anyone knows a way to do it? Best, Daniel Colchete [1] https://lists.inverse.ca/sogo/arc/users/2015-06/msg00301.html

Fatal: -N parameter requires syncing with remote host
by lejeczek 25 Jun '15

25 Jun '15

hi I get with default (not declared) replication_dsync_parameters above errors, and for users that I'm trying to disable replication. I'm trying to disable with: override_fields = mail_replica="" in userdb and just in case (ldap) also user_attrs = =mail_replica="" my replication conf is pretty basic: service replicator { process_min_avail = 1 unix_listener replicator-doveadm { mode = 0660 } } service aggregator { fifo_listener replication-notify-fifo { user = vmail group = Domain Users mode = 0660 } unix_listener replication-notify { user = vmail group = Domain Users } } service doveadm { inet_listener { port = 12345 } } doveadm_password = secret # I can tell simple test: doveadm -v sync -f -u my(a)my.domain ssh vmail@server doveadm dsync-server -u me(a)my.domain works. It's for a user that I don't want replication. What am I missing here? many thanks

Re: Virtual Mailboxes
by dmiller＠amfes.com 25 Jun '15

My next bonehead maneuver - was more of the first! location = virtual:/var/mail/%%d/%%n/mdbox/mailboxes/virtual was adapted from my definition for my shared namespace. Which was intended to share OTHER users - which is why the '%%' prefixes are used. Changing to: location = virtual:/var/mail/%d/%n/mdbox/mailboxes/virtual Now I can actually view something! But I still have a challenge - the mailboxes don't allow subscriptions via IMAP. If I manually edit the "subscriptions" file I can force it and I can now browse & view - but I can't make changes via IMAP clients.

EXT4/LVM recommendations for 3TB of mdbox ?
by Nicolas C. 25 Jun '15

25 Jun '15

Hello, Do you have recommendations on EXT4 and LVM options for a 3TB file-system for mdbox? We currently use the mbox format on a XFS with poor performances since the update in v2.1 (Debian). We will switch to EXT4 to have the possibility of shrinking the file-system if needed (which is not possible with XFS), we currently have LVM partitions but with mdbox we will use LVM snapshots to backup the server in a consistent state. So, - any particular options to use with mkfs.ext4 for the creation of the FS ? - do you recommend a «thin» logical volume ? Our storage (IBM Storwize v7000) already have thin provisioning capabilities. The server will be a VMware virtual machine running Debian with RDM LUNs of 500GB. Data blocks will be automatically spread across several RAID disk (SSD, SAS, SATA) by the v7000. The «mdbox_rotate_size» will be configured around 10MB. Thanks, Nicolas C.

why would replicated to server ask for extra fs permissions?
by lejeczek 24 Jun '15

24 Jun '15

I think I'm near getting a simple replication, but on server which is still "empty" I get: Initialization failed: Namespace '': mkdir(/var/spool/mail/ccnr.biotechnology/nr412/Maildir) failed: Permission denied (euid=1187(nr412) egid=513(Domain Users) missing +w perm: /var/spool/mail, we're not in group 12(mail), dir owned by 0:12 mode=0775 but repl from server runs just fine and their configs are virtually identical. What I missed? many thanks
