[Dovecot] mail-filter always results in corrupted indexes
by martijn.list 16 Jan '14

16 Jan '14

Hi, I'm experimenting with the mail-filter plugin but whenever I add anything to a message, it always results in an corrupted cache: from the logs: Dec 14 16:09:55 ciphermail-webmail dovecot: imap(martijn=djigzo.com(a)ciphermail.private): Error: Corrupted index cache file /var/vmail/martijn=djigzo.com(a)ciphermail.private/dovecot.index.cache: Broken physical size for mail UID 76 Dec 14 16:09:55 ciphermail-webmail dovecot: imap(martijn=djigzo.com(a)ciphermail.private): Error: read() failed: Invalid argument Dec 14 16:10:02 ciphermail-webmail dovecot: imap(martijn=djigzo.com(a)ciphermail.private): Error: Cached message size smaller than expected (773 < 777) Dec 14 16:10:02 ciphermail-webmail dovecot: imap(martijn=djigzo.com(a)ciphermail.private): Error: Maildir filename has wrong S value, renamed the file from /var/vmail/martijn=djigzo.com@ciphermail.private/cur/1387033802.M114583P9631.ciphermail-webmail,S=773,W=791:2, t A do-nothing filter that just sends the input to the output works but whenever I add something trivial to the message, the cache is always corrupted. I using Dovecot 2.2.9.1 (from the deb archives). I use the following trivial test to add some XXX chars and and later remove them. In mail-filter.sh I append some chars and in mail-filter-out I filter these chars out (this is just a test) cat > /tmp/dovecot-in.txt echo "XXX" >> /tmp/dovecot-in.txt cat /tmp/dovecot-in.txt mail-filter-out: cat > /tmp/dovecot-out.txt sed -i /XXX/d /tmp/dovecot-out.txt cat /tmp/dovecot-out.txt Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Kind regards, Martijn Brinkers

[Dovecot] EAGAIN in dict proxy
by Richard Platel 15 Jan '14

15 Jan '14

Hello, We’re using a custom program to manage quotas talking to dovecot via the dovecot dict proxy protocol over a unix socket: plugin { quota = dict:User quota::proxy:/var/run/auth_proxy_dovecot/quotasocket:quota } Dovecot gets slammed with quota requests periodically, seemingly because Thunderbird thought it would be a good idea to hardcode having a quota check at 45 seconds past the minute, and thus every Thunderbird client makes several GETQUOTAROOT requests simultaneously. This causes dovecot to make many client connections to the quota proxy, and many of them fail with EAGAIN. In the log we see: Jan 15 16:52:46 imap25 dovecot: imap(rplatel(a)tucows.com): Error: net_connect_unix(/var/run/auth_proxy_dovecot/quotasocket) failed: Resource temporarily unavailable And the client gets: * QUOTAROOT Spam "User quota"[0d][0a] * QUOTA "User quota" ()[0d][0a] * BAD Internal quota calculation error[0d][0a] 19 OK Getquotaroot completed.[0d][0a] Thunderbird transparently disconnects and reconnects at this point but obviously this is not ideal. Writing some toy programs, I found that even making a forked server with several processes doing nothing but accept()ing on the listening socket, with a high number for the listen queue, it’s easy to overwhelm it with simultaneous clients who then get EAGAIN. If the clients do indeed immediately try again, they are successful. (An INET listening socket does not seem to have this problem, incidentally) All of this is a long-winded way of saying that I believe in lib-dict/dict-client.c:client_dict_connect() the call to net_connect_unix should be a call to net_connect_unix_with_retries() with a small timeout. It would also be useful for us if an INET socket could be used.

[Dovecot] int/ext mailserver
by Mr.Pine 15 Jan '14

15 Jan '14

I 'm using potfix-dovcote as an internal mail server(local.myco.com) and wan to run another potfix-dovcote as an external mail server (myco.com) on Internet.75% of my users should only work internally(no external mail) but the rest of users (25%)should be able to send mail to external network! These users have the same username on myco.com. I use smtp_generic_maps to map int username of these users to ext. one. For eg. All email send by test(a)local.myco.com map to test(a)myco.com. So anyone got these mails can reply them. I know that getmail is the tools that can get mails from users external mailbox and put them into int. mailbox. 1. I have a root access to ext mail server. But do not know my ext user password!. How can I use getmail to move ext mail to internal one?! 2. What is your idea about syncing users password in internal/external mail server?! I think its needed for getmail! 3. How can I restrict my internal users to send mail only internally!? I appreciated any help!! TNX

Hello, I am running dovecot 2.1 on debian wheezy . We are using maildir format. one of our uses deleted content of INBOX folder during xmass. he wants these messages back. I had these mail on tape.

Email client shows empty inbox as well. tried manually run: doveadm index -u john -q INBOX no change. deleting indexes didn't help. How to restore these email? thanks Woj my config: # 2.1.7: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 x86_64 Debian 7.3 auth_debug = yes auth_mechanisms = plain login cram-md5 auth_verbose = yes listen = * log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log log_timestamp = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S " login_greeting = IMAP Server is ready. mail_debug = yes mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir:INDEX=~/dovecot-control/indexes:CONTROL=~/dovecot-control:LAYOUT=fs mail_plugins = " quota trash" managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date ihave passdb { driver = pam } passdb { args = scheme=cram-md5 /etc/dovecot/passwd driver = passwd-file } plugin { antispam_backend = pipe antispam_debug_target = syslog antispam_mail_sendmail = /usr/bin/sa-learn-pipe.sh antispam_pipe_program_notspam_arg = --ham antispam_pipe_program_spam_arg = --spam antispam_pipe_tmpdir = /tmp antispam_spam = Junk;Spam antispam_trash_pattern = Trash;Deleted * antispam_verbose_debug = 0 autocreate = INBOX autocreate2 = Sent autocreate3 = Trash autocreate4 = Drafts autocreate5 = Junk autosubscribe = INBOX autosubscribe2 = Sent autosubscribe3 = Trash autosubscribe4 = Drafts autosubscribe5 = Junk quota = maildir:User quota quota_warning = storage=95%% quota-warning 95 %u quota_warning2 = storage=80%% quota-warning 80 %u quota_warning3 = -storage=100%% quota-warning below %u sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_default = /var/spool/dovecot/default.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve sieve_global_dir = /var/spool/dovecot/ trash = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-trash.conf.ext } protocols = imap sieve service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0666 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-master { mode = 0666 } } service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve { port = 2000 } } service quota-warning { executable = script /usr/bin/dovecot-quota-warning.sh user = postfix } ssl_ca = </etc/postfix/ssl/cacert.pem ssl_cert = </etc/postfix/ssl/servercrt.pem ssl_cipher_list = ALL:!LOW:!SSLv2:!EXP-ADH-DES-CBC-SHA:!EXP-EDH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA:!EXP-DES-CBC-SHA:!EXP-RC2-CBC-MD5:!EXP-RC4-MD5:!EXP-ADH-RC4-MD5:!ADH-DES-CBC3-SHA:!ADH-RC4-MD5:!ADH-DES-CBC3-SHA:!ADH-AES128-SHA:!ADH-AES256-SHA:!ADH-RC4-MD5:!RC4 ssl_key = </etc/postfix/ssl/serverkey.pem userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/passwd driver = passwd-file } userdb { driver = passwd } protocol lda { deliver_log_format = msgid=%m: %$ info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-deliver.log log_path = /var/log/dovecot-deliver.log mail_plugins = " quota trash autocreate sieve" postmaster_address = postmaster quota_full_tempfail = yes rejection_reason = Your message to <%t> was automatically rejected:%n%r } protocol imap { imap_client_workarounds = tb-extra-mailbox-sep delay-newmail tb-lsub-flags mail_max_userip_connections = 10 mail_plugins = " quota trash imap_quota autocreate antispam" } 1379333576.M520387P21423.pine,S=5016,W=5183:2,S 1389710739.M139355P6177.pine,S=38933,W=39648:2,Sd 1379340386.M670300P24951.pine,S=2282,W=2328:2,S 1389710937.M15977P6316.pine,S=20426,W=20831:2,Sd 1379342173.M207466P25909.pine,S=2649,W=2700:2,S 1389715067.M350398P8795.pine,S=18288,W=18549:2,Sd 1379343332.M808399P26628.pine,S=3862,W=3952:2,S 1389715305.M250290P8929.pine,S=4264,W=4346:2,Sd 1379343742.M248785P27359.pine,S=4772,W=4891:2,RS 1389723554.M26883P13831.pine,S=47655,W=47979:2,d 1379343783.M47728P27388.pine,S=22571,W=23053:2,S root@pine:/home/john/Maildir/INBOX/cur#

[Dovecot] Why does dovecot require the {} password sheme even if there is a $ crypt scheme.
by da-dovecotlist-15＠abelonline.de 15 Jan '14

15 Jan '14

The wiki[1] says: If all the passwords are in same format, you can use default_pass_scheme to specify it. Otherwise each password needs to be prefixed with "{password-scheme}", for example "{plain}plaintext-password". Why doesn't dovecot recognize the crypt scheme identifier ($1$ for MD5-CRYPT, $6$ for SHA512-CRYPT etc.)? At the moment I have to have the following in my db for dovecot to work: {SHA512-CRYPT}$6$salt$passwordhash [1]http://wiki2.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/SQL
