Inconsistent listing of shared subfolders
by mschering＠intermesh.nl 30 May '23

30 May '23

Hi all, I have a problem with listing shared folders. In my web application I don't get the whole folder tree at once but get them level by level with: LIST "" "subfolder/%" RETURN (CHILDREN) Now I have an issue with shared folders. If I share folder test/sub with another user it returns it's (not shared) parent folder with this command: LIST "" "shared/someuser/%" RETURN (CHILDREN) But if I do the same with INBOX/sub it will not return the "INBOX" folder with the above command. Is that a bug or does anybody know why it behaves differently? Also, If I do: LIST "" "shared/someuser/*" RETURN (CHILDREN) it will return both the subfolder of test and inbox. My shared namespace is setup like this: namespace { type = shared separator = / prefix = shared/%%u/ # a) Per-user seen flags. Maildir indexes are shared. (INDEXPVT requires v2.2+) location = maildir:%%h/Maildir:INDEXPVT=~/Maildir/shared/%%u # b) Per-user seen flags. Maildir indexes are not shared. If users have direct filesystem level access to their mails, this is a safer option: #location = maildir:%%h/Maildir:INDEX=~/Maildir/shared/%%u:INDEXPVT=~/Maildir/shared/%%u subscriptions = no list = children } Thanks for any help! Best regards, Merijn

The goal for using ldap is having a centralized database that distributes information. How you choose to implement this, is depending on your requirements. > You avoid to authenticate users directly only to send the credentials of > some privilleged user from postfix/sendmail/whatever script... > Not to avoid. Other applications have different needs and thus different acl's. Dovecot does not need to know a users email address or alias. Only the MTA needs to know. The relaying MTA does not need to know the user etc.

LDAP olcAccess for auth_bind
by Andrzej Milewski 28 May '23

28 May '23

Hi, I'm trying to set up a production mail server. I have installed Dovecot on Debian from the package. For authentication, I have another machine running OpenLDAP, also installed on Debian. I would like the end mail client to authenticate with Dovecot using the login and password set in LDAP. In the LDAP-related configuration, I have: auth_bind=yes base = ou=Users,dc=example,dc=com user_attrs = mail=couriermaildir:~/Maildir,homeDirectory=/home/%d/%uid/,uidNumber=uid,gidNumber=gid user_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%u)) pass_attrs = uid=user,userPassword=password,\ pass_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%u)) The LDAP user is entered as uid=user(a)example.com. With the default olcAccess permissions, it works and logs in correctly. Here are my default olcAccess settings after installation: # {1}mdb, config dn: olcDatabase={1}mdb,cn=config objectClass: olcDatabaseConfig objectClass: olcMdbConfig olcDatabase: {1}mdb olcDbDirectory: /var/lib/ldap olcSuffix: dc=example,dc=com olcAccess: {0}to dn.children="ou=Idmaps,dc=example,dc=com" attrs=userPassword, shadowLastChange,SambaLMPassword,SambaNTPassword by self write by anonymous a uth by dn="cn=samba,dc=example,dc=com" write by dn="cn=admin,dc=laktopol,dc=p l" write by * none olcAccess: {1}to dn.subtree="ou=Idmaps,dc=example,dc=com" by self write by dn= "cn=samba,dc=example,dc=com" write by dn="cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com" write b y * read olcAccess: {2}to dn.children="ou=Hosts,dc=example,dc=com" attrs=userPassword,s hadowLastChange,SambaLMPassword,SambaNTPassword by self write by anonymous au th by dn="cn=samba,dc=example,dc=com" write by dn="cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com " write by * none olcAccess: {3}to dn.subtree="ou=Hosts,dc=example,dc=com" by self write by dn=" cn=samba,dc=example,dc=com" write by dn="cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com" write by * read olcAccess: {4}to dn.children="ou=Users,dc=example,dc=com" attrs=userPassword,s hadowLastChange,SambaLMPassword,SambaNTPassword by self write by anonymous au th by dn="cn=samba,dc=example,dc=com" write by dn="cn=nsspam,dc=laktopol,dc=p l" write by dn="cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com" write by * none olcAccess: {5}to dn.children="ou=Users,dc=example,dc=com" by self write by dn= "cn=samba,dc=example,dc=com" write by dn="cn=nsspam,dc=example,dc=com" write by dn="cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com" write by * read olcAccess: {6}to filter=(objectClass=sambaDomain) by dn="cn=samba,dc=laktopol, dc=pl" write by dn="cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com" write by * read olcAccess: {7}to dn.base="dc=example,dc=com" attrs=children by dn="cn=samba,dc =laktopol,dc=pl" write by dn="cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com" write by * read olcAccess: {8}to attrs=userPassword,shadowLastChange,SambaLMPassword,SambaNTPa ssword by self write by anonymous auth by dn="cn=nsspam,dc=example,dc=com" wr ite by dn="cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com" write by * none olcAccess: {9}to attrs=shadowLastChange by self write by * read olcAccess: {10} to * by * read However, I am not satisfied with these settings because using the anonymous user, anyone can browse the entire LDAP tree. While passwords are not visible with anonymous login, user data in the LDAP domain is exposed. If I change the last olcAccess entry from "olcAccess: {10} to * by * read" to "olcAccess: {10} to * by anonymous auth," the anonymous user cannot browse LDAP, but the mail client user also cannot log in. What should be the correct configuration? -- Andrzej

Outlook fails to connect to Dovecot submission server
by Ralf Becker 28 May '23

28 May '23

Dovecot 2.3.20 including it's submission server works well with all sorts of clients, but Outlook. Outlook works / can connect to Dovecot IMAP service with same certificate TLS config, but it fails to connect using SMTPs on port 465. Other clients connect and send mails without problem, also openssl s_client can connect and reports no problems. I tried with Outlook Version 365 on Windows 11 (no cloud) and "Microsoft® Outlook® 2021 MSO (Version 2304 Build 16.0.16327.20200) 64-bit". I already enabled all submission_client_workarounds and lowered min_ssl_version from TLSv1.2 to TLSv1, but that changed nothing. I can see nothing failing in the logs, thought the OL connection wizard always check IMAP and SMTP together, so it's hard to say what the problem is. The same two Outlook version connect without a problem to Postfix authenticating via SASL to Dovecot also requiring a minimum TLS version of 1.2. They just wont connect with Dovecot submission server. Any ideas what's wrong, or how to debug that further?

Inaccurate results while searching for a phrase in subject (fts-flatcurve)
by ss17＠fea.st 26 May '23

26 May '23

Hi, I had been using the lucene FTS plugin since a decade now and it has done me well. Thought of upgrading to the new & current stuff and came across the flatcurve plugin which seems very promising (xapian on the other hand was creating indexes larger than my mailboxes themselves). I am using following configuration in dovecot.conf: fts = flatcurve fts_filters_en = lowercase english-possessive stopwords fts_languages = en fts_tokenizers = generic email-address fts_autoindex = no fts_enforced = yes A search command like this: doveadm -D search -u john(a)doe.com mailbox INBOX SUBJECT "/home/johndoe/render.php" should show the messages with subject: "CRON: /home/johndoe/render.php OK" but produces a lot of extra undesired results and I think the second line in this debug output indicates the reason: May 23 07:44:13 doveadm(john(a)doe.com): Debug: fts-flatcurve(INBOX): Query (hdr_subject:/home/johndoe/render.php*) matches=0 uids= May 23 07:44:13 doveadm(john(a)doe.com): Debug: fts-flatcurve(INBOX): Query (hdr_subject:php* AND hdr_subject:render* AND hdr_subject:johndoe* AND hdr_subject:home*) matches=272 uids=67041,67085,67188,67223,67257,67290,67323,67355,67395,67564,67770,67817,67863,67985,68819,69512,69572,69635,69737,70017,70058,70086,70125,70147,70191,70296,70304,70331,70340,70350,70354,70375,70407,70417,70427,70449,70499,70521:70522,70535:70550,70555,70561:70563,70591,70597:70599,70662,70685,70702,70708,70718:70719,70724,70727:70728,70730:70733,70735,70746:70747,70754,70775,70777,70794,70811:70812,70822,70866,70942,70948,70971,71017,71021,71040,71042,71075,71079,71084,71113,71128:71129,71131,71152,71160,71184,71188,71208,71214,71225,71255,71269,71297,71300,71331,71375,71422,71449,71457,71467,71469,71495,71515,71605,71626,71632,71649,71672,71681:71682,71689,71692,71699,71716,71757,71770,71777,71782:71785,71790,71795,71797,71814,71818:71819,71828,71838:71842,71845,71859:71860,71937,71947,71954,71960,71963:71964,71977,71990,72014,72021:72022,72030,72034:72042,72045:72046,72049,72056,72061,72063,72073:72074,72083,72088,72090,72092,72101,72108,72129,72131:72132,72134,72136:72140,72159,72163,72172:72173,72186,72212,72218:72223,72237,72239,72246,72267,72288,72387,72410,72446,72469,72476:72477,72514,72541,72543,72568:72569,72572:72574,72598,72604,72606,72609,72644,72674,72687,72691,72694,72734,72772,72791,72797,72799,72803,72832:72833,72835:72841,72856:72857,72866:72867,72873:72874,72901,72930,72938,72948,72960,72965,72976,73018,73037,73071,73081,73116,73158,73249,73307,73352,73392,73466,73533,73601,73670,73733,73775,73784:73786,73804,73807,73811,73815,73819,73823,73825,73831,73842,73846,74005,74199,74390,74540,74684,74854,75017,75192,75354,75525,75710,75839:75843,75845,75903,75984:75985,76091,76263,76447,76624,76816,76989,77091:77092,77097,77119,77155,77293,77460,77608,77761,77908,78066,78218,78393,78400:78401,78522:78523,78560,78728,78921,79104,79298,79504,79555,79898,80027,80031:80032,80034:80035,80037,80056,80071,80073,80077:80079,80082:80084,80086,80089 I tried rebuilding the indexes with "fts_flatcurve_substring_search = yes" too but that didn't change anything. It works as expected with lucene plugin because in that case header search is performed via dovecot indexes instead of FTS. May be I am not doing something right in configuring this new FTS? Will really appreciate some pointers here. Thanks, Sam

Hi, I have a problem with dovecot indexer-workers starting at the same time everyday and using too much disk io and cpu. I have limited indexer-workers to 2, but i am not sure this is the solution.

The (doveadm search HEADER "Header" "") command does not return email which have the header "Header"
by Léo El Amri 26 May '23

26 May '23

Hello there, When using the doveadm command (search HEADER "X-Discourse-Post-Id" "") or the IMAP command (SEARCH HEADER X-Discourse-Post-Id ""), emails containing a X-Discourse-Post-Id header are not listed. I've also tried with non X- headers, such as List-Unsubscribe and Auto-Submitted. RFC 3501 [1] and Dovecot's documentation [2] both says that this command should return emails containing the header searched. I couldn't find a mention of this bug in the git history, hence why I'm posting here, maybe there is something wrong with my installation ? I'm running Dovecot 2.3.20 on Debian on amd64 with an ext4 filesystem. I attached the output of dovecot -n.

dovecot replication crashing
by Heiko Schlittermann 25 May '23

25 May '23

Hi, I'm a but clueless, having issues with replication. `doveadm dsync -u hans` works. But using the following replication setup, I see coredumps. Where to go next? Interestingly not for all users. (For testing purposes I've only 2 users. One having about 20 messages: here even the replication works, but the 2nd user (having about 14k messages) fails. The failure seems to happen immediatly after starting the replication attempt). I saw the replication crashing using Dovecot packages from the current Debian distro. In order to debug this, I'm now using 2.3.20, built from Git. The replicator config boils down to this (complete config is attached) replication_full_sync_interval = 90d replication_max_conns = 16 mail_plugins = $mail_plugins notify replication plugin { mail_replica = tcps:smtp-mz.example.com:9090 } service replicator { process_min_avail = 1 unix_listener replicator-doveadm { mode = 0666 } } service aggregator { fifo_listener replication-notify-fifo { user = dovecot mode = 0666 } unix_listener replication-notify { user = dovecot mode = 0666 } } The stacktrace I get looks like this: Stack trace of thread 729589: #0 0x00007f9e4f2c8ce1 __GI_raise (libc.so.6 + 0x38ce1) #1 0x00007f9e4f2b2537 __GI_abort (libc.so.6 + 0x22537) #2 0x00007f9e4f5fe8c6 default_fatal_finish (libdovecot.so.0 + 0x558c6) #3 0x00007f9e4f6ab601 i_internal_fatal_handler (libdovecot.so.0 + 0x102601) #4 0x00007f9e4f5fe589 i_panic (libdovecot.so.0 + 0x55589) #5 0x00007f9e4f5fe99e fd_set_nonblock (libdovecot.so.0 + 0x5599e) #6 0x00005564cbe6a08d cmd_dsync_ibc_stream_init (doveadm-server + 0x3008d) #7 0x00005564cbe6b772 cmd_dsync_run (doveadm-server + 0x31772) #8 0x00005564cbe6d284 doveadm_mail_next_user (doveadm-server + 0x33284) #9 0x00005564cbe6e4ba doveadm_mail_cmd_exec (doveadm-server + 0x344ba) #10 0x00005564cbe7eb71 doveadm_cmd_run_ver2 (doveadm-server + 0x44b71) #11 0x00005564cbe8300a doveadm_cmd_server_run_ver2 (doveadm-server + 0x4900a) #12 0x00007f9e4f6c1799 io_loop_call_io (libdovecot.so.0 + 0x118799) #13 0x00007f9e4f6c2e82 io_loop_handler_run_internal (libdovecot.so.0 + 0x119e82) #14 0x00007f9e4f6c1840 io_loop_handler_run (libdovecot.so.0 + 0x118840) #15 0x00007f9e4f6c1a00 io_loop_run (libdovecot.so.0 + 0x118a00) #16 0x00007f9e4f6343a3 master_service_run (libdovecot.so.0 + 0x8b3a3) #17 0x00005564cbe5d9a2 main (doveadm-server + 0x239a2) #18 0x00007f9e4f2b3d0a __libc_start_main (libc.so.6 + 0x23d0a) #19 0x00005564cbe5da2a _start (doveadm-server + 0x23a2a) 2023 Mar 28 00:09:28 clone doveadm(hans)<729589><TdSzNhcUImT1IQsAKQCViw>: Fatal: master: service(doveadm): child 729589 killed with signal 6 (core dumped) I'm a bit clueless now, even using the coredump and gdb. -- Heiko
