FTS lucene and english + german mails
by Felix Zielcke 17 Jun '15

17 Jun '15

Hi, I'm currently looking over the FTS pages to enable it in my dovecot. But I'm unsure what the best settings of the lucene plugin are, if you receive german and english mails. Wiki says: textcat_conf=<path> textcat_dir=<path>: If specified, enable guessing the stemming language for emails and search keywords. This is a little bit problematic in practice, since indexing and searching languages may differ and may not find even exact words because they stem differently. On Debian libstemmer is included in the debian-lucene package. So what settings are the best to have not the problem that exact words can't be found?

SOLR 5
by Robert Gierzinger 17 Jun '15

17 Jun '15

Hello, I just wanted to give SOLR 5 a try, however there probably have changed quite some bits in the config files, did not even manage to create a core with various solrconfig.xml and schema.xml files, but I am absolutely no expert in solr. Has anybody given it a try or are there some tips on how to get it running? regards, Robert

dsync userdb and required fields?
by lejeczek 17 Jun '15

17 Jun '15

hi, I'm fiddling with dsync and get these in the logs: auth: Error: password(ps655@): Password data is not valid for scheme SSHA: Input isn't valid base64 encoded data .. auth: Error: ldap(ns580(a),172.25.12.215): ldap_search(base=ou=,ou=mail,dc=virtual,dc=hosting filter=(&(objectclass=person) .... This is on a dovecot that I'd call second, to which I'd like to replicate, first dovecot which is already populated with users, etc. does not show these errors. and I also have seen complains about possixAccunt I think. Do these mean that there is a base minimum required from dovecot/dsync in order to deem/find a user as a valid user? Also I can tell that those users do belong to different domain (not even this RDN) than the one in which the second dovecot is trying to look. These fields/attributes are nowhere defined/mentioned in my configs thus I wonder. many thanks

Mail to nowhere
by Steve Matzura 17 Jun '15

17 Jun '15

The next phase of my testing procedure involves the simple act of delivering mail to my test box. When I send a message to either a valid or relayed user at my remote machine's address, it never gets there. I know this virtually for sure because I'm tailing /var/log/maillog and nothing new has been added for the past hour. I'm thinking eventually my ISP will send the message back to me as undeliverable, and in that bounced message there may be some information about why it was undeliverable, but maybe someone has a thought as to why I'm not even seeing anything attempt to connect?

replication of a big mailbox
by Tim Kuijsten 16 Jun '15

I'm running dovecots replicator successfully on 33 mailboxes. There is only one mailbox (the biggest one, 167000 mails) that is not replicating successfully. After 10 minutes the "source" starts logging these messages: dovecot: dsync-local(foo(a)example.com): Error: dsync(imap.netsend.nl): I/O has stalled, no activity for 600 seconds dovecot: dsync-local(foo(a)example.com): Error: Timeout during state=sync_mails (send=mail_requests recv=changes) dovecot: dsync-local(foo(a)example.com): Error: Remote command process isn't dying, killing it dovecot: dsync-local(foo(a)example.com): Error: kill(17459, SIGKILL) failed: Operation not permitted dovecot: doveadm: Error: Pseudo-terminal will not be allocated because stdin is not a terminal. dovecot: doveadm: Error: dsync-remote(foo(a)example.com): Error: Couldn't lock //.dovecot-sync.lock: Timed out after 30 seconds dovecot: doveadm: Error: Pseudo-terminal will not be allocated because stdin is not a terminal. dovecot: doveadm: Error: dsync-remote(foo(a)example.com): Error: Couldn't lock //.dovecot-sync.lock: Timed out after 30 seconds The 30 seconds timeout keeps repeating, while the doveadm process on the destination keeps on going for hours and hours. Destination imap.netsend.nl is creating a lot of hardlinks (at least one hardlink per message) in .temp.... files. This takes about 1,5 hour, after that the number of hardlinks decline again. But it looks like the connection with source is already lost. I've patched the source to overcome the timeout by changing it from 10 minutes to 3 hours[1] but now I'm running into a memory error: dovecot: dsync-local(foo(a)example.com): Error: dsync(imap.netsend.nl): I/O has stalled, no activity for 10800 seconds dovecot: dsync-local(foo(a)example.com): Error: Timeout during state=sync_mails (send=done recv=mails) dovecot: dsync-local(foo(a)example.com): Error: mremap_anon(211677184) failed: Cannot allocate memory The allocate memory error shows up every 10 seconds.

Problem logging in during testing
by Steve Matzura 16 Jun '15

16 Jun '15

Instructions at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/BasicConfiguration say the next thing to test after getting IMAP and Telnet working is to create a dummy user file with the following command: echo "$USER:{PLAIN}password:$UID:$GID::$HOME" > users And place it in /etc/dovecot and protect it appropriately. It was also edited to change the plain-text password from `password' to what it really is. The next section describes changes to 10-auth.conf and other things: If you used the example configuration files, switch to passwd-file by modifying conf.d/10-auth.conf: # Add '#' to comment out the system user login for now: #!include auth-system.conf.ext # Remove '#' to use passwd-file: !include auth-passwdfile.conf.ext In conf.d/auth-passwdfile.conf.ext you should have: passdb { driver = passwd-file args = scheme=CRYPT username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/users } userdb { driver = passwd-file args = username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/users } Verify with doveconf -n passdb userdb that the output looks like above (and there are no other passdbs or userdbs). All done successfully. Now, when I telnet 127.0.0.1 143 and attempt to log in with the string: a login <any username> <any password> whether it's one in my users file or not, I get: a NO [AUTHENTICATIONFAILED] Authentication failed.

What became of dovecot.passwd?
by Steve Matzura 15 Jun '15

15 Jun '15

Since I've decided to go to version 2, which is a lot more difficult to set up because I have to look in a lot more places than I did with version 1.0.15, what do I do with the old dovecot/passwd or its contents? I see no references to it in any of the stuff in conf.d or doc/dovecot/wiki. As always, thanks in advance.

More about my SSL certificate problem
by Steve Matzura 15 Jun '15

15 Jun '15

Someone, I don't remember whether it was Alex or Urban, asked me to check on my private keyfile to see if it began with "Begin RSA private key". I reported that it does not. Now here's where things get strange: When I ran the command: $ openssl req -nodes -newkey rsa:2048 -sha1 -keyout myserver.key -out server.csr on an old Ubuntu system, `myserver.key' does begin with "Begin RSA private key". But when I run that same command on a Fedora 20 system, the word "RSA" isn't there. Could this have anything to do with my 0906D06C error?

dsync replication issues with shared mailboxes
by Sergey Schwartz 15 Jun '15

15 Jun '15

Gentlemen, I've setup 2 servers with dsync replication and hit a serious issue - some messages got duplicated thousands times in some shared mailboxes(~5).

dovecot only partially indexing ... fts
by Infoomatic 14 Jun '15

hi, I have a setup using solr as fts, however it seems that when I move messages it does not automatically index the stuff. Also, when using sieve scripts to store messages in different folders I get: dovecot: indexer-worker(user): Indexed 0 messages in testfolder If I get a mail to normal INBOX I get dovecot: indexer-worker(user): Indexed 1 messages in INBOX doveadm index -u user '*' does the trick, however, I have set "fts_autoindex = yes" ... the relevant part of doveconf -n: mail_plugins = fts fts_solr zlib acl quota zlib fts fts_solr acl plugin { fts = solr fts_autoindex = yes fts_solr = url=http://localhost:8983/solr/ break-imap-search sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve sieve_extensions = +notify +imapflags } protocol lda { mail_plugins = fts fts_solr zlib sieve acl } protocol imap { mail_plugins = fts fts_solr zlib acl quota imap_acl imap_quota } is this normal behaviour or did I screw something up? TIA, infoomatic

LDA versus LMTP
by Steve Matzura 13 Jun '15

13 Jun '15

My system has a great big four users. The Dovecot wiki says LMTP is more efficient, and someone on IRC told me I'd need it if I were ever to use sieve, which at this time I have no intention of doing. Should I stick with LDA, or just implement LMTP so I'm ready if ever I need it in the future? The bottom line is, it's unclear from the wiki how to explicitly specify use of one or the other, so that's my question.

Non-Existent Log File
by Steve Matzura 13 Jun '15

13 Jun '15

My /var/log/maillog was getting pretty big because of lots of testing and re-configuring I've been doing lately with both Dovecot and Postfix. I figured just remove /var/log/maillog and it would be re-created. It wasn't--not by Dovecot, not by Postfix. I had to manually create a new one, put one character in it, save it, properly secure it with chmod, and then Dovecot (and postfix) messages got written to it. This can't possibly be the proper procedure to clear maillog messages ... can it?

Error when starting Dovecot
by Steve Matzura 13 Jun '15

13 Jun '15

After applying some changes to 10-master.conf as detailed at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/PostfixDovecotLMTP I receive the following when trying to start: doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf line 49: Expecting '{' I'm trying to enable LMTP. The instructions say: Socket configuration The actual socket is configured in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf. The LMTP service can be bound to both INET or Unix sockets. In this example a Unix socket is placed inside the Postfix spool with appropriate permissions set: service lmtp { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { group = postfix mode = 0600 user = postfix } } I copied this block and placed it in my copy of 10-master.conf. Line 49 is the first line of this block, and there's clearly a left-brace there. The braces match, too. Thoughts?

I'm trying to enable Imap Notify in Dovecot 2.2.13. I know that's a bit out of date, but that's what's provided with openSuSe 13.2. The first thing I did was add mailbox_list_index=yes to /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf. Both doveadm -n and dovecot -n show the change. I then used doveadm reload to force dovecot to reread its config file. Despite this, NOTIFY did not show up it Dovecot's capabilities: * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE AUTH=PLAIN] Dovecot ready. I then did a systemctl restart dovecot.service and still no luck: * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE AUTH=PLAIN] Dovecot ready. I also have noticed that the Maildirs of my various accounts include a dovecot.list.index file with a current timestamp, but no dovecot.list.index. So, where do I go for here? The output of doveadm -n: # 2.2.13: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.16.7-21-desktop x86_64 openSUSE 13.2 (x86_64) disable_plaintext_auth = no log_path = /var/log/dovecot/dovecot.log mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir mail_max_userip_connections = 50 mailbox_list_index = yes 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 { args = /etc/dovecot/passwd.dovecot driver = passwd-file } postmaster_address = Tony@localhost protocols = imap lmtp service auth { unix_listener auth-master { group = mailgrp mode = 0660 user = mailuser } } service lmtp { executable = lmtp -L inet_listener lmtp { address = 127.0.0.1 port = 2525 } user = mailuser } ssl = no userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/passwd.dovecot driver = passwd-file } protocol imap { imap_client_workarounds = tb-extra-mailbox-sep } protocol pop3 { mail_plugin_dir = /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/pop3 } protocol lda { log_path = /var/log/dovecot/deliver.log mail_plugin_dir = /usr/lib64/dovecot/modules mail_plugins = sieve } protocol lmtp { log_path = /var/log/dovecot/deliver.log mail_plugin_dir = /usr/lib64/dovecot/modules mail_plugins = sieve }

1.0.15 gone, can't start version 2
by Steve Matzura 12 Jun '15

12 Jun '15

On advice/recommendation received on this list, I removed version 1.0.15 with: rm -rf /usr/local/dovecot However, now that I have version 2 properly installed, configured, and ready to start testing with Postfix, it appears the old version is still in /usr/local/sbin, /usr/local/include, /usr/local/libexec, /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/shared/doc. Thinking that anything in /usr/local is something that was installed s a result of having built it from source (which 1.0.15 definitely was), should these also be removed?

Replication: "cross-updates" of mail meta-data
by Andre Nathan 11 Jun '15

11 Jun '15

Hello I have a two-server dovecot setup using replication. Each server runs two dovecot instances, one for director and another for the backend. Initially I set up a single server, got it all working, then rsync'd the data and index partitions to the new one and started the clusters (I used rsync as a way to speed-up dovecot's initial replication). Both servers listen on a virtual IP addresses load-balanced by IPVS as well as their own IP addresses. When I started dovecot in the second server, users started reporting that some of their messages were missing. I noticed that while the mail data seemed to be up to date in server1, it wasn't in server2; however, the indexes were being updated in server2 but not in server1. For example, "doveadm quota get -u some-user" would report the wrong value in server1 and the right value in server2, while a "du" would show that only server1 actually had the most up-to-date data. At the moment I had to take down server2, because as soon as dovecot is running in it, users start reporting missing messages again. To solve that problem, a "doveadm force-resync" in server1 isn't enough. I either rsync the index files from server2 or remove the indexes in server1 before the force-resync, which then works. Has anyone ever saw anything similar to this? Any help would be much appreciated. I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 with dovecot 2.2.15 with the configurations below: === Backend instance === # dovecot -n # 2.2.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.16.0-37-generic x86_64 Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS auth_master_user_separator = * auth_mechanisms = plain login auth_username_chars = abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ01234567890.-_@= auth_worker_max_count = 10 disable_plaintext_auth = no doveadm_password = secret doveadm_port = 12345 listen = server1.mydomain.com mail_fsync = never mail_gid = dovemail mail_plugins = " notify replication quota" mail_uid = dovemail managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex copy include vacation-seconds imapflags notify namespace { inbox = yes location = mailbox SPAM { auto = subscribe } prefix = separator = / type = private } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql-master.conf.ext driver = sql master = yes pass = yes } plugin { mail_replica = tcp:192.168.0.2:12345 #

Order of keys
by Steve Matzura 10 Jun '15

10 Jun '15

I hope I'm asking this on the right list, in the right place. I go through this every three years and for whatever reason keep forgetting to record how this works! In the Dovecot config, there are two places to define SSL certificates--ssl_cert_file and ssl_key_file. My question is this: Which two of the three files--the certifying authority, the signed certificate for the specific system, and the private certificate file--are combined to create the file that goes with ssl_cert_file? Since there are six possible permutations to answer this question (because order of files matters), which two go with ssl_crt_file and in what order? I have a private certificate file, the certifying authority's .CRT file, and the certifying authority's signed .PEM file which contains the system's certified certificate. Thanks in advance.

Dovecot mbox & other programs
by Pali Rohár 09 Jun '15

09 Jun '15

Hello, I want to use dovecot as imap server with mbox storage format (described at [1]) but I also want to access (and modify!) those mbox files which are stored on server (and used by dovecot). What is correct way to read those mboxes? From wiki page [1] I read that I should ignore first message in mbox (which contains X-IMAPbase header) and mbox file is in mboxcl2 format. And what is correct way to modify that mbox file (which is used by dovecot imap)? I would like to configure mutt on server to directly access those mbox mailboxes without need to use imap protocol (over localhost). It is possible without any data/message damage?

special_use \Archive not working with some foldernames
by Hajo Locke 09 Jun '15

09 Jun '15

Hello list, i use dovecot 2.2.18 compiled on my own and want to report an odd behaviour when using a folder for special_use \Archive. In my case it is not working when using some special foldernames (mbox). I compared to version 2.2.15 which i found pre-packaged on launchpad.net, same behaviour. All other special_use Folder work like expected. My situation: We authenticate users using mysql-db. also we allow users to store individuell special_use settings in db. this is a way which was recommended by this mailinglist some years ago. we use a password_query like this: password_query = SELECT `inbox` as `user`, `password`, `home` as userdb_home, `uid` AS userdb_uid, `gid` AS userdb_gid, `userdb_import` AS userdb_userdb_import FROM `mail_users` WHERE `login` = '%u' AND `active`='Y' typical column in db looks like this: | username | cryptedpass | path | inboxname | uid | gid | Y | namespace/inbox/mailbox=Sent namespace/inbox/mailbox/Sent/name=Gesendet namespace/inbox/mailbox/Sent/auto=subscribe namespace/inbox/mailbox/Sent/special_use=\Sent namespace/inbox/mailbox=Drafts namespace/inbox/mailbox/Drafts/name=EntwÃ¼rfe namespace/inbox/mailbox/Drafts/auto=subscribe namespace/inbox/mailbox/Drafts/special_use=\Drafts namespace/inbox/mailbox=Trash namespace/inbox/mailbox/Trash/name=Papierkorb namespace/inbox/mailbox/Trash/auto=subscribe namespace/inbox/mailbox/Trash/special_use=\Trash namespace/inbox/mailbox=Junk namespace/inbox/mailbox/Junk/name=Spam namespace/inbox/mailbox/Junk/auto=subscribe namespace/inbox/mailbox/Junk/special_use=\Junk namespace/inbox/mailbox=Archives namespace/inbox/mailbox/Archives/name=Archiv namespace/inbox/mailbox/Archives/auto=subscribe namespace/inbox/mailbox/Archives/special_use=\Archive | Now i noticed that in this case the folder Archiv was not binded to special_use \Archive: * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked \Junk) "/" Spam * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked \Drafts) "/" Entw&APw-rfe * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked \Sent) "/" Gesendet * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked \Trash) "/" Papierkorb * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked) "/" Archiv * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" INBOX If i change the name of folder which is binded to special_use \Archive its working again, no other changes: * LIST (\NoInferiors \UnMarked \Archive) "/" Archiviu or a shorter one: * LIST (\HasNoChildren \Archive) "/" Arc It works in most cases, it is not working if i have chosen name "Archiv". It seems also that autocreating of folder is not working if name is "Archiv". I activated the debug settings but was not helpful. Looks the same in all cases: Debug: Added userdb setting: namespace/inbox/mailbox=Archives Debug: Added userdb setting: namespace/inbox/mailbox/Archives/auto=subscribe Debug: Added userdb setting: namespace/inbox/mailbox/Archives/name=Arc Debug: Added userdb setting: namespace/inbox/mailbox/Archives/special_use=\Archive or: Debug: Added userdb setting: namespace/inbox/mailbox=Archives Debug: Added userdb setting: namespace/inbox/mailbox/Archives/auto=subscribe Debug: Added userdb setting: namespace/inbox/mailbox/Archives/name=Archiviu Debug: Added userdb setting: namespace/inbox/mailbox/Archives/special_use=\Archive or the not working one: Debug: Added userdb setting: namespace/inbox/mailbox=Archives Debug: Added userdb setting: namespace/inbox/mailbox/Archives/auto=subscribe Debug: Added userdb setting: namespace/inbox/mailbox/Archives/name=Archiv Debug: Added userdb setting: namespace/inbox/mailbox/Archives/special_use=\Archive I have no idea what is going wrong here. I have no further hints in my logs. What to do now? Any ideas? Thanks, Hajo

Backup performance may be another big win for Maildir, especially for incremental backups.

Dovecot mailbox indices are self-healing: indices should be rengenerated automatically when the mailbox is out of sync with regards to the indices. There may be a few complaints in the mail logs about it (e.g. UIDVALIDITY changes), but they are mostly harmless. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

04 Jun '15

I have a working Dovecot IMAP server (v. 2.2.9) where I have a single user but a lot of folders (over 800 in total, hierarchically arranged, about 50 of which are in active use.) I have multiple clients (including k9Mail on Android and Thunderbird on Linux and Windows). These clients all present a consistent subscription to a single subset of the available folders . What I'd like to be able to do is (somehow) allow different devices (different email clients) to subscribe to a different subset of folders. For example, I may want K9mail on my phone to be subscribed only to my "main Inbox" - but for Thunderbird on Windows to also be subscribed to active mailing-list folders. Does Dovecot support such a mode of operation? If so, how do I configure it? If not, what options are there to achieve the desired end result - i.e. different devices/IMAP clients subscribed to different subsets of the universe of folders available to a single user. Mandatory details: Version : 2.2.9 Configuration: See http://paste.ubuntu.com/11564807/

Testing SHA512-CRYPT password hashes with doveadm pw -t fails
by Felix Zielcke 04 Jun '15

04 Jun '15

Hi, I use Debian jessie with Dovecot 2.2.13-11. While writing a script for Horde to change the passwords in my passwd file I noticed doveadm pw -t fails for SHA512-CRYPT: # doveadm pw -s SHA1 -p test {SHA1}qUqP5cyxm6YcTAhz05Hph5gvu9M= # doveadm pw -t {SHA1}qUqP5cyxm6YcTAhz05Hph5gvu9M= -p test {SHA1}qUqP5cyxm6YcTAhz05Hph5gvu9M= (verified) # doveadm pw -s SHA512-CRYPT -p test {SHA512-CRYPT}$6$8FfoioQWQDR/Vuzu$ynKiO/E6Xf4dMvfx2LsP9KQotqy5cEOEppnEh5Hqe1UpCYAgOwSIJlNb0O65fxdYcRZH3gNFQ7ZOM/2kD/R811 doveadm pw -t {SHA512-CRYPT}$6$8FfoioQWQDR/Vuzu$ynKiO/E6Xf4dMvfx2LsP9KQotqy5cEOEppnEh5Hqe1UpCYAgOwSIJlNb0O65fxdYcRZH3gNFQ7ZOM/2kD/R811 -p test doveadm(root): Fatal: reverse password verification check failed: Password mismatch If this can't work for SHA512-CRYPT then at least the error message should be more helpful. Or am I understanding the -t option wrongly? Then this sohuld be maybe somewhere clarified. I just use now doveadm auth test which works fine. Regards, Felix Zielcke

Misleading SSL/TLS Log Messages
by Yahooguntu 03 Jun '15

03 Jun '15

Hi all, I think I've found a small bug in how Dovecot logs SSL/TLS info. Basically, if I connect to the server using TLS, the logs have a lot of entries saying I used SSLv3 (which is not allowed). Here's my system info: OSX Yosemite (x86_64, HFS+) Dovecot 2.2.15 (via Homebrew) OpenSSL 0.9.8zd The configuration (see below) disallows SSLv3, and if I try and connect with OpenSSL to test that ("openssl s_client -connect localhost:993 -ssl3") it fails as expected. If I do the same command, but with "-tls1" instead of "-ssl3", I can connect and run IMAP commands. The problem is, if I open up the Dovecot logs and look at the SSL log messages, they all say I used SSLv3. As an example, this is a truncated log from when I connected to the server and immediately did a LOGOUT: 14:50:59 : master: Warning: Killed with signal 15 (by pid=1 uid=0 code=unknown 0) 14:51:03 : master: Dovecot v2.2.15 starting up for imap, lmtp (core dumps disabled) 14:51:13 : imap-login: Debug: SSL: elliptic curve secp384r1 will be used for ECDH and ECDHE key exchanges 14:51:13 --- last message repeated 1 time --- 14:51:13 : imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x10, ret=1: before/accept initialization [127.0.0.1] 14:51:13 : imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: before/accept initialization [127.0.0.1] 14:51:13 : imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 read client hello A [127.0.0.1] 14:51:13 : imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 write server hello A [127.0.0.1] 14:51:13 : imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 write certificate A [127.0.0.1] 14:51:13 : imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 write key exchange A [127.0.0.1] 14:51:13 : imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 write server done A [127.0.0.1] 14:51:13 : imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 flush data [127.0.0.1] 14:51:13 : imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 read client certificate A [127.0.0.1] 14:51:13 : imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2002, ret=-1: SSLv3 read client key exchange A [127.0.0.1] 14:51:13 --- last message repeated 1 time --- 14:51:13 : imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 read client key exchange A [127.0.0.1] 14:51:13 : imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 read finished A [127.0.0.1] 14:51:13 : imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 write session ticket A [127.0.0.1] 14:51:13 : imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 write change cipher spec A [127.0.0.1] 14:51:13 : imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 write finished A [127.0.0.1] 14:51:13 : imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 flush data [127.0.0.1] 14:51:13 : imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x20, ret=1: SSL negotiation finished successfully [127.0.0.1] 14:51:13 : imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2002, ret=1: SSL negotiation finished successfully [127.0.0.1] 14:51:19 : imap-login: Aborted login (no auth attempts in 6 secs): user=<>, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, TLS, session=<QdX1YaIXTQB/AAAB> 14:51:19 : imap-login: Debug: SSL alert: close notify [127.0.0.1] The second to last line, which indicates I never tried to log in, correctly states that I used TLS.

indexer-worker crashes handling mails with big attachments (dovecot 2.2.16/2.2.18 + FTS Apache Solr + Tika)
by Robinson Bomze 03 Jun '15

03 Jun '15

Hi, yesterday i tried to setup Dovecot with Solr (3.6.2) + Tika (1.8) for FTS. i used a fresh Debian 8.0 system in the beginning with Dovecot 2.2.13 from the Debian repository. After i got some issues with Tika/Dovecot and i read on the mailinglist that these problems where fixed in 2.2.14+, so i tried 2.2.18. With 2.2.18 i get panics with big (ok... huge) attachments. Most mailboxes (and their attachments) get index fine, but on some i got panics from the indexer-worker. i was able to isolate the problem. It seems that when Tika (which works flawless) sends a big reply to Dovecot and Dovecot sends this data to Solr, communication crashes between Dovecot and Solr. Eg. indexing an email with a 200k char wordfile results in a panic of the indexer-worker: Jun 02 23:50:57 indexer-worker(username): Warning: I/O leak: 0x7ff65f39f540 (line 120, fd 20) Jun 02 23:50:57 indexer-worker(username): Warning: Timeout leak: 0x7ff65f39f2e0 (line 325) Jun 02 23:50:57 indexer: Error: Indexer worker disconnected, discarding 1 requests for username Jun 02 23:50:57 imap(username): Error: indexer failed to index mailbox INBOX.username Jun 02 23:50:57 indexer-worker(username): Fatal: master: service(indexer-worker): child 11429 killed with signal 11 (core dumped) I got similar issues results with 2.2.16: Jun 02 23:21:12 indexer-worker(username): Warning: I/O leak: 0x7ffff7811cc0 (line 127, fd 20) Jun 02 23:21:12 indexer-worker(username): Panic: file ioloop.c: line 39 (io_add_file): assertion failed: (callback != NULL) Jun 02 23:21:12 indexer-worker(username): Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x77130) [0x7ffff7842130] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x7 Jun 02 23:21:12 indexer: Error: Indexer worker disconnected, discarding 1 requests for username Jun 02 23:21:12 imap(username): Error: indexer failed to index mailbox INBOX.username Jun 02 23:21:12 indexer-worker(username): Fatal: master: service(indexer-worker): child 7909 killed with signal 6 (core dumps disabled) The problem was already posted: http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2015-May/100901.html I could trigger the same panic running the indexer via 'doveadm index -u username MAILBOX'.

multi sync (>2 servers) + selective sync + trigger
by b-dovecot.org＠grmbl.net 03 Jun '15

03 Jun '15

Hi all, I've been researching ways to replicate mail across multiple mailstores and have a few questions. Synching 2 mailstores (M1 & M2) via dsync works fine. I want to add a 3rd and 4th (M3 & M4) server to also be synced. Multi-sync (>2 servers): 1) How do I tell M1 and/or M2 to also sync to M3 and/or M4? Selective sync: 2) How do I sync specific domains to specific servers and not to others? Trigger: 3) Does a normal sync check only check the mailbox being changed or does it get triggered on mailbox changes to check ALL indexes and sync all changed mailboxes accordingly? 4) Can I use an email to trigger a sync for any other mailboxes which might be out of sync? TIA B

Outlook Express with XP...
by SH Development 03 Jun '15

Dovecot 2.0.9 I am able to connect successfully with Thunderbird, Win 8, Apple Mail, iPhone, iPad. Outlook Express on Win XP receives just fine, but will not send. I get a "Client host rejected: Access denied” message. I believe this is simply Postfix telling me the connection isn’t properly authenticated, as setting up the exact same credentials on another client (non OE) works. It is only with OE on XP that I am unable to send/authenticate. I have literally tried every combination of settings in OE and nothing works. What else might I need to enable to get this working? Using SSL, ports 993, 587 PLAINTEXT. dovecot -n as follows: # 2.0.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-504.16.2.el6.x86_64 x86_64 CentOS release 6.6 (Final) ext4 log_timestamp = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S " mail_location = maildir:/home/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir mail_max_userip_connections = 50 namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = INBOX. separator = . type = private } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf driver = sql } protocols = imap pop3 service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-master { mode = 0600 user = vmail } user = root } ssl_ca = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/intermediate.pem ssl_cert = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem userdb { args = uid=5000 gid=5000 home=/home/vmail/%d/%n allow_all_users=yes driver = static } protocol lda { auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master log_path = /home/vmail/dovecot-deliver.log postmaster_address = postmaster(a)starionhost.net } protocol pop3 { pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv }

As others have noted, your MTA handles the connection. I believe Windows XP needs to be updated to the latest service patch to handle SSLv3 disabled sites. Try checking to make sure your Postfix SSL security settings and your WinXP SSL capabilities are compatible. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

Pop3 service stops responding
by Mike Eriksson 02 Jun '15

02 Jun '15

Hi! I have problem with the pop3 service stops responding at random intervals on my server. We started to notice this problem as we're running icinga to check the imap & pop3 service. When icinga reports that the service is down. We try to telnet to the server on port 110 but it refuses the connection. I've checked the netstat during this time and it's listens on port 110. My first thought we were hitting the max connections and similar. Changed login_max_connections from 128 to 256. Didnt solve the problem. Started the debug on the dovecot server but could not see anything in the logs. Also the error log or the syslog dosnt report anything that I can see. Best thing would of course be to start and upgrade the software and os(Debian 5) but I'm not comfortable upgrading it at the moment as my knowledge about dovecot / postfix isn't great. Do you have any idéas how to move forward? dovecot -n # 1.0.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/ log_path: /var/log/dovecot-error.log info_log_path: /var/log/dovecot-info.log log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: pop3 imap imaps pop3s ssl_cipher_list: ALL:!LOW disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot//login login_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-login login_max_processes_count: 256 first_valid_uid: 1090 last_valid_uid: 1090 first_valid_gid: 1090 last_valid_gid: 1090 mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir mail_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugins(default): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(imap): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(pop3): quota mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/pop3 pop3_uidl_format(default): pop3_uidl_format(imap): pop3_uidl_format(pop3): %08Xu%08Xv auth default: username_chars: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ01234567890.-_@% username_translation: %@ username_format: %Lu passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: passwd userdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 user: vmail group: vmail plugin: quota: maildir sieve_global_path: /etc/dovecot/sieve_scripts/spam-sort.sieve login_max_processes_count: 256 login_max_connections: 256 max_mail_processes: 1024 Best Regards Mike

Failed running extprograms execute via socket - fatal recv(MSG_PEEK) failed disconnected
by E.B. 01 Jun '15

01 Jun '15

I switched from running my extprograms execute script directly to running with dovecot socket. Log shows only this dovecot: lmtp(test(a)example.com): Debug: wdi0Tb5VPlGfPnEAM/SpMA: sieve: action execute: running program: test dovecot: lmtp(test(a)example.com): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions from /vmail/example.com/test: mode=0770 gid=default dovecot: script: Fatal: recv(MSG_PEEK) failed: disconnected For testing I opened up the script and socket with permissions 777 but the error seems to indicate less about permissions more about some kind of protocol problem i guessing. Sieve script calls using this: execute "test"; Plugin config: plugin { sieve_plugins = sieve_extprograms sieve_global_extensions = +vnd.dovecot.execute sieve_execute_socket_dir = sieve-execute sieve_before = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/sieve } service test { executable = script /usr/local/etc/dovecot/sieve_globals/test.sh unix_listener sieve-execute/test { mode = 0660 group = vmail } } FYI I have quota-warning sockets configured identical to this and they work good. Dovecot 2.2.16 Pigeonhole 0.4.7 Help appreciate a lot.

Sieve extprograms ?not exexuting?
by E.B. 01 Jun '15

01 Jun '15

Hello, I was testing the extprograms plugin. I think I had it working in the past, but many things have changed since then, so no use trying to figure out where it broke - starting over again... Debug-enabled log give me: Apr 27 04:11:36 mail dovecot: lmtp(test(a)example.com): Debug: qOGyA0DePHVaOyHEM/SpMA: sieve: action execute: running program: test.sh Apr 27 04:11:36 mail dovecot: lmtp(test(a)example.com): Debug: waiting for program `/usr/local/etc/dovecot/sieve_globals/test.sh' to finish after 0 seconds So I guess it thinks it is running my script? But simple test script does nothing. Here it is: #!/bin/sh read INPUT INPUT="Hello world: $INPUT" echo "$INPUT" >> /tmp/hello echo "---------------------------" >> /tmp/hello Permissions on this script file for now are rwxrwxrwx But nothing goes to /tmp/hello at all. Script works when I run it manually. I also tried without the "read" but I think that's required isn't it? Anyway, what else can I do to debug this? Dovecot 2.2.16 Pigeonhole 0.4.7

OT: Central sieve management
by list＠airstreamcomm.net 29 May '15

29 May '15

A bit off topic, but I was wondering if anyone here has a solution for centrally managing sieve for multiple users from a custom web application? We would like to implement pigeonhole sieve on our dovecot cluster, however we need to be able to access user’s sieve configurations from a central location for troubleshooting and support purposes.

Enabling Master User for migration
by Charles Marcus 29 May '15

29 May '15

Hi all, Ok, just need a quick-n-dirty way to enable a master user for a migration... Reading the docs, I'm not sure what the bare minimum is I need to do this... At: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/MasterUsers The Example config shows: auth_master_user_separator = * passdb { driver = passwd-file args = /etc/dovecot/passwd.masterusers master = yes pass = yes } passdb { driver = shadow } userdb { driver = passwd } But, if I'm using a non-real user (just need a master user that can log in as all other users for the migration), do I need all three of these? Or just the first two? Or, just the first one? I think I need the first two and not the last one, but am unsure. This is on a production system so don't want to break things, and I'm unfamiliar with using multiple passdb's... Thanks, Charles

Shared inbox?
by Chris Ross 29 May '15

29 May '15

I'm running dovecot 2.2.16 on my FreeBSD mail server. I've read information on the wiki about setting up shared mailboxes, but I want to do something that isn't really coved by the instructions I was reading there. My son (now 7 years old) has an account on the system, but doesn't use it directly. But, for things he's interested in like Minecraft, and/or the local zoo, we have given out his email address in a small number of places. What I would like to set up, both for now while he's not actually ever reading his email himself, and perhaps even for the future when we teach and/or allow for that, is for my wife and I to be able to "view" his inbox from our accounts. The instructions for setting up shared folders all are written so that they're secondary folders to all accounts. Is there a way to either (a) configure sharing someone elses Inbox by other accounts, or (b) setting up a separately configured shared folder to _act_ as the inbox for a single account? Thanks. Any suggestions to achieve the above described end goal would be appreciated. - Chris

Creating IMAP folders/subfolders with Thunderbird
by Alex Regan 29 May '15

29 May '15

Hi, I have dovecot-2.2.15 on fedora21 with Thunderbird and having some difficulty creating subfolders and deleting folders. Creating subfolders results in a folder at the root with a caret instead of a slash called folder^subfolder with an entry in .subscriptions with that name, instead of a new folder under the directory. I'm also unable to delete any folders. The command from within Thunderbird is just completely ignored. Any idea what's happening here? Thanks, Alex

X-UID in mail header is removed?
by mkawada＠redhat.com 28 May '15

28 May '15

Dear Dovecot Mailing List, I have 2 questions regarding dovecot and would very much appreciate if you would kindly give me helps. <Question 1> Is 'X-UID' no longer shown in mail header via pop3? I have checked with the following 3 version of dovecot packages in order to make sure if a message sent by dovecot have 'X-UID' in its mail header, and the result is that only "dovecot-0.99.11-10.EL4" shows 'X-UID' and the other ones do not(Please see the result written in the second half of this mail). <Question 2> Is 'X-UID' used for checking if a message has already been sent to a user so that he never gets any duplicated mails that are already in his mbox? The reason why I am asking this here is that I am working on a problem that a user sometimes gets a duplicated mail from dovecot if the user keeps mails on the server as its settings. I actually thought this kind of thing would happen if the 'UIDL' gets corrupted or changed for some reasons. However, it is said that this issue never happened in using "dovecot-0.99.11-10.EL4" which shows 'X-UID' in mail header and in using "dovecot-2.0.9-8.el6_6.4" which does not show 'X-UID', the issue happens sometimes. Thus, I would like information indicating what is exactly used to avoid getting any duplicated messages while downloading a message via pop3 from dovecot. Here is the test result I checked: (dovecot-0.99.11-10.EL4) ]# telnet localhost 110 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1).

>But when you write NOT to regenerate, are you saying that using larger primes makes regenerating unnecessary, or are you telling us that it's somehow harmful? For a given computational effort, you get the most bang-for-the-buck by choosing large parameters (and checking very carefully that they are "safe") rather than smaller parameters (and/or checking them less carefully) which you then regenerate. Every time you regenerate, there's a small (but finite) probability that the new parameters are actually unsafe. You'd do better using those CPU cycles to improve the proof that your original set of parameters was safe (admittedly, no one actually does this), rather than generating a new set. Remember, the DH parameters (p,g) are NOT secret; they are transmitted in the clear everytime. As long as you're using Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman (choosing new exponents, a and b, for each session) with large safe DH parameters, it's hard to think of a threat model where you improve the security AT ALL by regenerating the DH parameters.

>It is not at this point emphasized anywhere, including on weakdh.org, that it is actually of high importance to regenerate your DH parameters frequently. That's not really correct. If you're using a prime of length at least 2048 bits, then the corresponding discrete-log problem is well-beyond the pre-computation ability of the NSA (or anyone else). It is computationally intensive to generate such large primes, p (and corresponding base parameter, g). You need to ensure that p is actually prime (the costly step [1]) and that g is primitive. Which is why most implementations have used shorter (<= 1024 bit) primes. Using shorter primes, and regenerating DH parameters at regular intervals, is only a linear-time improvement. By contrast, generating longer DH parameters (without bothering to regenerate) is an EXPONENTIAL improvement in security. So the best setting is to set ssl_dh_parameters_length as large as feasible ([2] recommends 2048 bits), and NOT to regenerate.

FREAK/Logjam, and SSL protocols to use
by Ron Leach 27 May '15

27 May '15

List, good afternoon, I was reading up on a TLS Diffie Hellman protocol weakness described here https://weakdh.org/sysadmin.html which is similar to the earlier FREAK attack, and can result in downgrade of cipher suites. Part of the solution workaround that the researchers describe for Dovecot here https://weakdh.org/sysadmin.html includes altering DH parameters length to 2048, and re-specifying the allowable cipher suites - they give their suggestion. But the researchers make no comment on the allowable protocols that, in Dovecot, are controlled in 10-ssl.conf in the stanza headed # SSL protocols to use #ssl_protocols = !SSLv2 I couldn't find any advice on up-to-date SSL/TLS protocol settings in the Dovecot wiki, either (I looked in http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SSL/DovecotConfiguration ). At the moment our installation is using only the default settings for allowed protocols; I'm not sure what those defaults might be, but our 10-ssl.conf may only be disallowing SSLv2, if the 'example' entry is the default. We're running 2.2.15, and are due to upgrade to 2.2.18 shortly; quite possibly the defaults differ in a more recent release. What SSL protocols do folk on the list recommend should be allowed in Dovecot these days? (Actually, I mean which protocols really 'must' be disallowed?) regards, Ron

/etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem erased by OpenSuse's update mechanism
by Wolfgang Gross 27 May '15

27 May '15

Hi, this is not a genuine Dovecot bug, more a nuisance. It applies to OpenSuse 13.2 but maybe also to other Linux's. The standard installation of Dovecot (especially 10-ssl.conf) places the certificate dovecot.pem in /etc/ssl/certs. Sometimes during updates does OpenSuse renew all certificates in /etc/ssl/certs and erases dovecot.pem. This blocks further access to the mailbox. I found a similar report here: https://bbs.archlinux.de/viewtopic.php?id=27288 Workaround: Move dovecot.pem to another directory and change 10-ssl.conf accordingly. Regards Wolfgang Gross -- Dr. W.

Can email be shared between POP3 and shell account access?
by Steve Matzura 26 May '15

26 May '15

I needed to receive a message to admin(a)mydomain.com. I waited and waited for it, but it never showed up in the admin mailbox on the mydomain.com machine. So I looked for the admin account in /etc/dovecot.passwd, and there it was, plain-text password and all! I set up a retrieval system for the admin POP3 account and got all the messages I was waiting for, not to mention about 20 that I wasn't, which were obviously old and discardable. This got me to thinking, is it possible to have an account accessible not just via POP3 from the ouside, but through mail/mailx on the inside, and if so, how is that set up?

sieve: extract first chars of body in sieve script
by Ingo Thierack 26 May '15

26 May '15

Hello, is it possible to extract the first x chars of the body of an message to forward it, or the complete body inside an sieve script. I want to forward specific mails via telegram-messenger. No Problem to extract the "from" and the "subject". if header :matches "Subject" "*" { set "subject" "${1}"; } if header :matches "from" "*" { set "from" "${1}"; } pipe :copy :try "notify.sh" [ "(${from})# ${subject}" ]; But is it also possible for the body? If I can only pass the complete body, I can cut out the first x chars inside the notify-script. Can't find any hint for that. Regards Ingo

timeout for POP3 query.
by Christian Eichert 25 May '15

25 May '15

Is there a way to timeout POP3 query if they come to often? More precise I want to know if there is a setting in dovecot that makes it ignore pop3 requests from a certain user if they come more often then a certain amount of time. I am looking for a setting in dovecot, not a firewall solution. I would like dovecot to answer something like "requests come to often, please come back later." regards christian

Controlling IP addresses for services
by Alex 24 May '15

24 May '15

Hi, I'm using dovecot-2.2.15 on fedora21 and would like to configure pop3s and imaps to only listen on localhost and internal addresses. It seems the listen= parameter only supports ports, not IP addresses. Is it possible to control which IPs the services listen on? I'm also interested in knowing the differences between pop3-login and just the pop3 service? Same with imap-login and imap? I've searched the wiki and still a bit confused. Thanks, Alex

Problem with sieve not triggering randomly?
by Chris Adams 23 May '15

23 May '15

I'm running CentOS 7.1 with Dovecot 2.2.10 (CentOS packaged version). I have Postfix feeding messages to Dovecot for local delivery via LMTP, and I have Amavisd for spam filtering. For messages above a certain threshold, Amavisd adds the "X-Spam-Flag: YES" header, and I file that into the Spam folder using a default (system-wide) sieve script (there aren't any per-user sieve scripts set up): require "fileinto"; if header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" "YES" { fileinto "Spam"; } I can see it work on my test messages and from lmtp log entries. However, it doesn't seem to always work. I had a user complain about a spam increase, and I looked in their mailbox. I see a message with the "X-Spam-Flag: YES" header, but it is in the INBOX (and the corresponding lmtp log entry shows that's where it went). Why would the sieve script work on some messages and not others? I don't see any errors in the log. I see a bunch of messages from the same source to different users, and they were all filed into INBOX, not Spam. Looking at the message in question, it is a pretty bogus message. There are multiple From: and Subject: headers. Would that cause sieve to "punt" on the message (but not log anything about it)? -- Chris Adams <cma(a)cmadams.net>

Dovecot-Director, (Manage)-Sieve und Remote-IP

Hello, I`ve got a question about Dovecot-Director and (Manage)-Sieve: is there any possibility to pass-through the original IP-address to the backend server? In this case I try to pass-through the IP-address of a webmail server. I`ve looked for a solution in different forums and tried it with the parameter "login_trusted_networks", however no success. The above solution is working with IMAP/POP3/LMTP, but not with Sieve. For any solutions or any hint I would be grateful.

dovecot 2.2.18 and ssl_parameters_regenerate
by django＠nausch.org 22 May '15

22 May '15

HI Timo, On http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SSL/DovecotConfiguration I read in chapter SSL security settings: When Dovecot starts up for the first time, it generates new 512bit and 1024bit Diffie Hellman parameters and saves them into <prefix>/var/lib/dovecot/ssl-parameters.dat. After the initial creation they're by default regenerated every week. With newer computers the generation shouldn't take more than a few seconds, but with older computers it can take as long as half an hour. The extra security gained by the regeneration is quite small, so with slower computers, for Dovecot versions prior to v2.2, you might want to disable it If I discover the default-value of ssl_parameters_regenerate I receive: # doveconf -d ssl_parameters_regenerate ssl_parameters_regenerate = 0 In your doku you wrote, that dovecot will regenerate every week. :/ ? I set it to "1 hours" and watch if /var/lib/dovecot/ssl-parameters.dat is build every hour, but nothing happens. ssl-parameters.dat is only rebuild, if I change ssl_dh_parameters_length What's the problem? What I've made false? ttyl Django -- http://dokuwiki.nausch.org http://wetterstation-pliening.info http://ebersberger-liedersammlung.de

charset_to_utf8 assertion of remaining src_size

Log mail access
by Philipp Brüll 20 May '15

20 May '15

Hello, is it somehow possible to log the access to a mail? The log entry should be written, if a user fetches a mail via imap or pop3. It would be convenient for debugging. I've checked the Logging-Wiki and the docs for the mail_log plugin, but they seem to log any event but "mail access". Best regards, Philipp

Re: Controlling shared folder rename?
by andy＠thecsillags.com 19 May '15

19 May '15

Eventually I figured out a solution that looks like it should work; postlogin scripting described here http://wiki2.dovecot.org/PostLoginScripting . Specifically, the sample at the bottom that adds a shared folder, obviously will need some work to make it work the way I want, but it should work. May 19 2015 3:18 PM, andy(a)thecsillags.com (mailto:andy@thecsillags.com) wrote: Dovecot version 2.2.16 I'm using shared folders and what I'd like to do is either have the folder that gets shared be able to be renamed by the user, or failing that, to be able to have an administrator define how the shared folder shows up to the account it's shared to. For example, right now, the INBOX owned by testuser(a)mydomain.com (mailto:testuser@mydomain.com) is shared to otheruser@mydomain as shows up as shared/testuser(a)mydomain.com (mailto:testuser@mydomain.com) because of the prefix directive in the shared namespace in 10-mail.conf. It would be nice if, either via a dict (like the way the acls work), or via normal IMAP folder commands, that I control how it shows up to otheruser@mydomain. So if I could do something like: prefix = proxy::sharedname or similar. Currently trying to rename from IMAP fails -- given the way my understanding of how things works is, I'm not surprised, but hey, it was worth a shot right? First, does the question make sense? Two, is there a way to do this? Thanks, :Drew

Understanding the "doveadm replicator status" output
by Listas＠Adminlinux 19 May '15

19 May '15

Where can I get more detailed information about the output of the 'doveadm replicator status' ? man doveadm-replicator isn't enough. For example, Total number of known users = 29409, but the server has only 17667 users. This is confusing. Look: # doveadm user '*' |wc -l 17667 # doveadm replicator status Queued 'sync' requests 0 Queued 'high' requests 0 Queued 'low' requests 0 Queued 'failed' requests 0 Queued 'full resync' requests 12962 Waiting 'failed' requests 16447 Total number of known users 29409 What it means to "Queued full resync requests" ? thanks!

Can't achieve alias working with SQL
by Samuel 19 May '15

19 May '15

Hello, On a fresh install of Jessie, I achieve to make dovecot/postfix working with SQL, but I still can't send email to alias for wich one I get : "Unknown user" After debug enable in dovecot, I see that the user_query SQL , just query for the "users" table and not the "forward" table so the final alias user is not known. But when I check postfix for alias, it seems ok : root@cluster-dovecot:/etc/dovecot# postmap -q contact2(a)XXXXXXXX.com mysql:alias_maps contact(a)XXXXXXXXXX.com So what do I missed for alias working with dovecot ? Do I need a special conf in master.conf for sending alias AND final recipient or do I have to change the dovecot user_query for taking in acount the "forward" table in the SQL query ? .... or other thing I could miss ...

Marcus, Thanks for the spec file. I'm fairly new to creating RPM's and I just found out that the issue is taking place during the 'make check' portion of the spec file. I'm not sure what 'make check' does after having googled it, although, I think it checks for run-time errors. Any hints?

Imap process timeout to quota proxy on logout after async commit
by Fernando Coelho 19 May '15

19 May '15

Hi there, I am having some trouble implementing a quota proxy server for a memcached based dict (I am using the version 2.2.15). I created a multi-threaded daemon that is using non-blocking sockets to receive the data and reply to dovecot. Right now everything but the atomic increase message is working great. Here is an example of such a message: B1 A1 priv/quota/storage 86583 A1 priv/quota/messages 1 D1 The program process it and I replies:OA1 Everything keeps working as expects until the user sends the imap a logout command. The only problem is that for some reason dovecot tries to read data from server without sending anything, and after 30 seconds it exits with an timeout error. The following message is logged: May 18 22:46:00 imap[11654]: user 29908633#perm!terra (29908633#perm!terra) from 127.0.0.1: Error: read(/tmp/quotatest) failed: Timeout after 30 seconds May 18 22:46:00 imap[11654]: user 29908633#perm!terra (29908633#perm!terra) from 127.0.0.1: Info: Disconnected: Logged out in=40 out=827 May 18 22:46:00 imap[11654]: user 29908633#perm!terra (29908633#perm!terra) from 127.0.0.1: Error: dict quota: Quota update failed, it's now desynced The really strange part is that it only fails if and atomic increase was sent and only when the user logs out. I use the same pattern ("OA<transaction id>\n") to reply for other commits (such as when there is an unset followed by a set) and there is no issue. Is there anything that I am missing? Thanks in advance.

Dovecot Replication - Architecture Endianness?
by Reuben Farrelly 16 May '15

16 May '15

Hi all, I've had an interesting use case come up which - to cut the story short - one way to solve the problem I am looking at may be to replicate a small number of mailboxes to a third remote server. I've currently had replication running between my main dovecot machine and another remote VM for some time and working well (so I'm not new to replication and I've got a good working config), but I've a need to add a third to the mix for a select number of mailboxes. The arch on both of those is Gentoo x86_64 and with latest 2.1.16 -hg. I have attempted this so far by rsync'ing the initial Maildirs and then once the bulk of the data has been transferred rely on dovecot's replication to keep things in sync. I figure that this should in theory mean that the subsequent updates in both directions are incremental and the bulk of the data gets moved while the device is here on my desk using rsync. I've attempted to do this using a Raspberry Pi as a remote device, but when I set it up the dovecot replication process seems to need to start the replication over from scratch even after the rsync is done. I know this is happening as the disk utilisation on the Pi skyrockets once the replication starts and I end up with thousands of double ups of all the mails ... which defeats the entire point of the process. If I do an identical configuration but on a third Gentoo x86_64 VM locally it all works as expected. No double ups of mails and the "catchup" between the two devices is practically instant. Same filesystem even. The only difference appears to be the system architecture. So main my question is this. Is there a known architecture/endian limitation on replication? I guess cross-arch replication is not something many people try but is it supposed to work anyway? Has anyone else got replication working across different arch's? Also is there a way to restrict replication users aside from a crude hack around system first and last UIDs? Thanks, Reuben

You can enable Dovecot events in 10-logging.conf. Just uncomment mail_log_events = delete undelete expunge copy mailbox_delete mailbox_rename in plugin section. Depending on your setup, it will be logged to /var/log/maillog, or whatever you defined in your syslog configuration.

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.8 for Dovecot v2.2.18
by Stephan Bosch 15 May '15

15 May '15

Hello Dovecot users, Here is the final 0.4.8 release. No significant changes were committed since the last release candidate. Changelog v0.4.8: * LDA Sieve plugin: Dovecot changed the deliver_log_format setting to include %{delivery_time}. This prompted changes in Pigeonhole that make this release dependent on Dovecot v2.2.17. + Implemented magic to make sieve_default script visible from ManageSieve under a configurable name. This way, users can see the default rules, edit them and store a private adjusted version. This could also be achieved by copying the default script into the user's script storage, but updates to the global sieve_default script would be ignored that way. + ManageSieve: Implemented support for reporting command statistics at disconnect. Statistics include the number of bytes and scripts uploaded/downloaded/checked and the number of scripts deleted/renamed. - Fixed problem in address test: erroneously decoded mime-encoded words in address headers. - extprograms plugin: Fixed failure occurring when connecting to script service without the need to read back the output from the external program. - Fixed bug in script storage path normalization occurring with relative symbolic links below root. - Fixed and updated various parts of the documentation - ManageSieve: Used "managesieve" rather than "sieve" as login service name, which means that all managesieve-specific settings where ignored. - Managesieve: Storage quota was not always enforced properly for scripts uploaded as quoted string. Nobody uses that, but it is allowed in the specification and we support it, so it should work properly. The release is available as follows: http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.8.tar… http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.8.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

Many Duplicated messages after migrate from 2.0.19 to 2.2.15
by Listas＠Adminlinux 15 May '15

15 May '15

Hi, In my company, we have several failover clusters (~50k accounts per cluster) with Ubuntu12.04 and Dovecot-2.0.19 (without dsync, replication at block level with DRBD). We are migrating to active/active clusters with Ubuntu14.04 and Dovecot-2.2.15 with replication via dovecot-dsync. Each new cluster consists of two machines and each machine runs two instances of Dovecot (one for backend and the other for proxy Dovecot-director). We did the migration of message files, indexes and sieve scripts using rsync to one of the backends. After we turn on the second backend and let the dsync work in replication for him. Now, many accounts are with duplicated messages and some new emails delivered are also being duplicated. Doveadm deduplicate doesn't work for me. I ran: doveadm deduplicate -u <user> -m ALL Does do the migration of files with rsync was a mistake ? We are using mdbox on both clusters. My confs with doveconf -n for both clusters: http://www.adminlinux.com.br/newcluster_doveconf.txt http://www.adminlinux.com.br/oldcluster_doveconf.txt Thanks and regards, Thiago Henrique

v2.2.18 released
by Timo Sirainen 15 May '15

15 May '15

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.18.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.18.tar.gz.sig Oops, director was somewhat broken in 2.2.17. I thought I tested the last changes in it well enough, but looks like not. To avoid all existing Dovecot director installations from breaking I decided to make 2.2.18 release quickly afterwards.. BTW. We're planning on making some changes soon to how version control is used in Dovecot development, which should help avoid these kind of problems. The main problem now is that everything gets directly committed to the master branch (although we have a separate more stable dovecot-ee repo also). The new plan is to do something like this: http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/ Besides some minor compiling issues and other small changes, the important ones are: - director: Login UNIX sockets were normally detected as doveadm or director ring sockets, causing it to break in existing installations. - sdbox: When copying a mail in alt storage, place the destination to alt storage as well.

Best practice for getting sieve scripts replicated?
by Michael Grimm 15 May '15

15 May '15

Hi — I do have replication between two servers running, and mail is replicated without any issues. I do have sieve running at both servers without any issues. But replication of sieve scripts doesn't work as "expected": Whenever I do modify my default script und upload it via "doveadm sieve put -u abc -a default < default" it becomes uploaded to the home directory of user abc as expected, but it will not be replicated to the partner server. Whenever I do deactivate the default script by "doveadm sieve deactivate -u abc", followed by a deletion "doveadm sieve delete -u abc default" plus subsequent upload of the script "doveadm sieve put -u abc -a default < default", replication takes place instantly. Questions: Is a modification of a sieve script supposed to be triggered the latter way? Or am I doing it the wrong way? Thanks and regards, Michael

Alternate Storage altmove not working bug
by Daniel van Ham Colchete 15 May '15

15 May '15

Hello everyone! I would like to report a bug here. We are using dovecot's sdbox with alternate storage here. From time to time my SSD partition gets full and I always find users with lots of e-mails stuck there, and altmove just won't move them. It moves most of the e-mails correctly, but a few was getting stuck everyday. So, I think I have found the problem! When a user moves the message from one mailbox to another, the move will keep all the flags! Including MAIL_INDEX_MAIL_FLAG_BACKEND 0x40. So, altmove think this message was already moved and doesn't do anything. I did a doveadm dump on the destination mailbox's index and what I see is a lot of this: RECORD: seq=104, uid=104, flags=0x48 (Seen) - ext 0 keywords : (0000) - ext 1 modseq : 12 (0c00000000000000) - ext 3 cache : 14004 (b4360000) - cache offset=14004 size=76, prev_offset = 0 - mime.parts: (48000000b404000000000000cc04000000000000e542000000000000fd4300000000000018010000) (pos=0 hdr.p=1204 hdr.v=1228 body.p=17125 body.v=17405 flags=48) - size.physical: 18329 (9947000000000000) - date.received: 1418235366 (e68d8854) Although the 0x40 flag is set, the file still lives on the main/ssd storage area. My config: http://pastebin.com/8Wk4bfRK Dovecot version: 2.2.5-0~auto+22 Host is Xeon E3 64bit, running Debian 7. Filesystem is plain local ext4 on both storage areas I know my version is outdated but I didn't find anything related to this there. Just one last question: how can I remove that flag from the message? I have taken a look at doveadm-flags(1) but it doesn't seem to allow anything on that flag. Thank you very much! Best, Daniel Colchete

Return code 139 when enabling auth debugging
by Stefan Midjich 15 May '15

15 May '15

Hi I'm running dovecot 2.2.10 installed from base repos on CentOS 7. I'm trying to use sqlite as an auth backend but it's not working so I enabled some auth debugging settings in conf.d/10-logging.conf and then dovecot refused to start. sudo dovecot -F produced 139. Here is doveconf -n: http://dpaste.com/2BNB2F7 Unfortunately when I have these settings enabled doveconf does not work and only produces the first comment line. So here is the output of sudo grep -v '^#' /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-logging.conf | grep -v '^$': http://dpaste.com/0G0VVK8 And when these settings are uncommented dovecot -F produces return code 139 and no output. So I'm having a hard time troubleshooting my authentication when I can't even troubleshoot my debug options not working. ;) -- Hälsningar / Greetings http://Stefan.Midjich.name

Trying to get mail working
by Steve Matzura 15 May '15

15 May '15

I have charge of a very mixed system--current OS (Fedora 20--OK 21's out but I just haven't upgraded yet), current (or nearly so) Mailman (2.1.18-1), Postfix 2.10 with a configuration file sfrom something a lot older which I've run through the upgrade-configuration procedure, and old Dovecot (1.0.15). Is there anything I can do to test each of these components individually, then add a second component and test the three pairs, then all three together? I am nobody's definitioin of an expert in any of these three components, so am having a lot of trouble making them work together, so I thought maybe there might be some test procedure that might straighten me out.

Pigeonhole v0.4.8.rc3 compilation error (bad mail-deliver.h)

14 May '15

Got a /usr/local/include/dovecot/mail-deliver.h:30:17: error: field has incomplete type 'struct timeval' struct timeval delivery_time_started; ^ error. This is because mail-deliver.h in dovecot-2.2.17 is missing an #include <sys/time.h> Adding that line to mail-deliver.h fixes the problem. Oddly, I had no problem compiling dovecot itself.

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.8.rc3 for Dovecot v2.2.17
by Stephan Bosch 14 May '15

14 May '15

Hello Dovecot users, RC2 had one more important bug caused by the new sieve_default_name feature. To prevent causing more of such rather stupid bugs in the future, I created an external shell-based test suite to test dovecot-lda delivery, the doveadm sieve tools and ManageSieve. These kind of tests aren't possible with the current Sieve-based test suite that is included in the Pigeonhole tarball. Now I can test most basic top-level Pigeonhole functionality in one go. Additionally, I created one new feature for ManageSieve. It allows logging various statistics at client disconnect, much like POP3 currently supports. This is e.g. useful for debugging. In the process, I fixed a few ManageSieve bugs as well. If RC3 doesn't cause any more issues, I will release 0.4.8 this Friday. Changelog v0.4.8 (updated): * LDA Sieve plugin: Dovecot changed the deliver_log_format setting to include %{delivery_time}. This prompted changes in Pigeonhole that make this release dependent on Dovecot v2.2.17. + Implemented magic to make sieve_default script visible from ManageSieve under a configurable name. This way, users can see the default rules, edit them and store a private adjusted version. This could also be achieved by copying the default script into the user's script storage, but updates to the global sieve_default script would be ignored that way. + ManageSieve: Implemented support for reporting command statistics at disconnect.

Some mail readers have auto-discover features that are rather stupid. If possible, manually configure the SSL style (TLS/STARTTLS) and port rather than letting it guess. To diagnose whether it is some dovecot config error, you can manually connect with both flavours of SSL openssl s_client -connect 192.168.0.15:993 ... or ... openssl s_client -starttls imap -connect 192.168.0.15:143 then if it gets past the SSL handshake, a login <user> <password> to test the authentication part. This will at least tell you whether it's a client side or server side issue. (However, since it is working with other client, it's probably a client side issue.) Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

The release is available as follows: http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.8.rc2… http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.8.rc2… 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

Bug#776094: dovecot-imapd: corrupts mailbox after trying to retrieve it (fwd)
by Santiago Vila 11 May '15

11 May '15

Hello. I wrote about this three weeks ago but got no answer. I'm going to officially "forward" the Debian bug this time, with all the details. The test case is just 840 bytes long. Please give it a try. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Santiago Vila <sanvila(a)unex.es> To: submit(a)bugs.debian.org Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2015 22:32:28 +0100 (CET) Subject: dovecot-imapd: corrupts mailbox after trying to retrieve it Package: dovecot-imapd Version: 1:2.2.13-11 Severity: serious The following mbox folder, when put in $HOME/mail, becomes corrupted after trying to retrieve it with fetchmail. The problem may be reproduced by using the same machine as server and client: * Put "inbox-b" in $HOME/mail * Put this in $HOME/.fetchmailrc server localhost proto imap port 143: user "someuser" pass "thepassword" * Retrieve email using this command line: fetchmail -a localhost --folder inbox-b -m "true" Note: By looking at the "true" above it is clear that whatever fetchmail does with the message is not important at all. You will see something like this: 12 messages for someuser at localhost (folder inbox-b). reading message someuser@localhost:1 of 12 (171 header octets) (3 body octets) flushed reading message someuser@localhost:2 of 12 (245 header octets) (3 body octets) flushed reading message someuser@localhost:3 of 12 (245 header octets) (3 body octets) flushed reading message someuser@localhost:4 of 12 (245 header octets) (3 body octets) flushed reading message someuser@localhost:5 of 12 (245 header octets) (3 body octets) flushed reading message someuser@localhost:6 of 12 (171 header octets) (3 body octets) flushed reading message someuser@localhost:7 of 12 (171 header octets) (3 body octets) flushed reading message someuser@localhost:8 of 12 (245 header octets) (3 body octets) flushed reading message someuser@localhost:9 of 12 (245 header octets) (3 body octets) flushed reading message someuser@localhost:10 of 12 (245 header octets) (3 body octets) flushed reading message someuser@localhost:11 of 12 (245 header octets) (3 body octets) flushed reading message someuser@localhost:12 of 12 (273 header octets)fetchmail: incorrect header line found - see manpage for bad-header option not flushed And in fact "inbox-b" in the server is now like this: [...] >From root(a)example.com Tue Jan 13 10:18:20 2015 rstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz(a)example.com To: a(a)example.com Subject: a MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Message-Id: <20150113091737.B5ADA5F8B1(a)example.com> Date: Tue, 13 Jan 2015 10:17:25 +0100 (CET) X-UID: 16035 Status: O a Note how the From: line has been truncated from its original state. I have been suffering from this problem for months. At first I believed it was some misbehaving procmail/formail recipe I had on the server, but that's not the case as this example shows. Thanks.

Dovecot is not reading connections from iOS devices correctly. Any ideas?
by Robert Chalmers 11 May '15

11 May '15

From the dovecot logs. dovecot-info.log May 11 09:27:45 imap-login: Info: Aborted login (no auth attempts in 0 secs): user=<>, rip=192.168.0.1, lip=192.168.0.15, session=<pXcBJ8oVbgDAqAAB> dovecot-debug.log May 11 09:27:45 auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=17388) When I try to connect using either the iOS Mail app, or Outlook mail app, nothing happens at al with ssl, and if I use plain login the iOS device tells me I have either the username or password wrong - which I haven't. Connection from Mac with MailMate works fine. iOS doesn't. so I'm stumped. I can't see why this is refusing the connection.

Full text search indexes not used for header/body OR queries?
by Robert L Mathews 09 May '15

09 May '15

I've noticed that when using Lucene full text search, most queries use the indexes and/or header cache and are fast: . SEARCH BODY test . OK Search completed (0.001 secs). . SEARCH SUBJECT test . OK Search completed (0.053 secs). . SEARCH BODY test SUBJECT test . OK Search completed (0.002 secs). . SEARCH OR SUBJECT test FROM test . OK Search completed (0.093 secs). But an OR query that mixes headers and body does not use the available FTS indexes for the BODY part and is slow: . SEARCH OR BODY test SUBJECT test * OK Searched 62% of the mailbox, ETA 0:05 * OK Searched 70% of the mailbox, ETA 0:04 . OK Search completed (15.147 secs). Is this the expected behavior? Since the FTS code can handle an AND of header and body searches, I'm surprised it doesn't do the same for an OR. I noticed this while tracking down poor performance in Thunderbird, which issues searches like this: UID SEARCH RETURN (ALL) (OR FROM "Evelyn" (OR SUBJECT "Evelyn" (OR TO "Evelyn" (OR CC "Evelyn" BODY "Evelyn")))) NOT DELETED These are slow even with FTS enabled because of this behavior. I'm using Dovecot 2.1.7 from Debian wheezy. (I know this is outdated; however, I've examined the 2.1.x and 2.2.x changelogs and found no mention of it.) -- Robert L Mathews, Tiger Technologies, http://www.tigertech.net/

PublicFolders using Maildir and INDEXPVT in Dovecot v2.2.13
by Panayiotis Fafakos 08 May '15

08 May '15

Dear all, we have succesfully configured Dovecot v2.2.13 in debian wheezy 7.8 (using backports) using Maildir structure, to use private index files for the \Seen flag on a per user basis. All users access their emails and Public Folders using IMAP protocol. The problem is that when a user moves an email from publicFolderA to publicFolderB under the same namespace the other users see this message as unread, although they have actually read it when it was in publicFolderA. Please note that this is an old message which has been moved , it was not copied, so the actual UID should be the same... Is there a way to keep the \Seen flag for the messages that are moved from folder to folder? Is there a way to keep the \Seen flag in a database, so that we can ignore the folder structure and only check the message UIDs? We could use MySQL, PgSQL or even SQLite... Below follows the Public-Folder namespace declaration: ------------------------------------------ namespace { inbox = no location = maildir:/var/vmail/Public-Folders:LAYOUT=fs:INDEXPVT=~/Maildir/public/%u prefix = Public-Folders/ separator = / subscriptions = no type = public } ------------------------------------------ With the above system configuration we have the complete folder structure under ~/Maildir/public/%u, and many log files, one for each folder a user has accessed. Could we only have one index file for each user for all the public folder structure under the same namespace? Kind regards to all, Panayiotis Fafakos

Different mdbox_rotate_size for primary and alternate storage
by Paolo Cravero 08 May '15

08 May '15

Hello. In order to speed up backups of very very old messages I would like to set two different limits for mdbox_rotate_size. Like, 50M for primary storage and 100M or larger for alternate storage. There is no mention in docs or such a possibility, so I assume it is not possible. Is that correct? While I am at it, is it possible to configure primary storage as maildir (sturdy indexes) and altstorage as mdbox (more delicate indexes)? Thanks, Paolo

Dovecot and data migration
by Alain BERNARD 07 May '15

07 May '15

Hi, Our legacy data store retains a single copy of a message regardless of the number of mailboxes in which that message resides. It does this by creating hard links to that message in the mailboxes containing that message. Thus, when we perform data migration to the server target (Dovecot), the copies of the same message are copied over with the migration process (imapsync). We use the storage format maildir. With a small message store, this means that a lot of messages are duplicated unnecessarily. How to reduce message store size due to duplicate storage of identical messages ? Does a relinking function exist and can be run in real-time mode ? how can we configure Dovecot to deduplicate for all users using a hash to determine whether the file could be already exist ? Thanks in advance. Memo

Mapping other Inbox method (symlink vs ACL)
by Kevin Laurie 07 May '15

07 May '15

Hi, I am trying to map a account(bob(a)mydomain.com) to help(a)mydomain.com. I would like him to see/access Inbox,Sent,Junk,Trash of help(a)mydomain.com . What would you reckon would be the best way to do this? ACL or Symlink? With symlink, I dont think I will be able to set permissions. Is it possible to use ACL to get the entire email account access(the inbox, junk, sent etc.)?

lmpt director and ldap userdb
by Angel L. Mateo 06 May '15

06 May '15

Hello, I've been using dovecot for a long time, but now I'm having troubles with I change I need to make. I have a director server in front of two backend servers. All of these servers are running dovecot 2.1.16. Redirection to backend servers are based in an attribute of a ldap server. My users are defined in this same ldap server. At this moment, for user authentication we use password lookups. My current configuration at both frontend and backend servers is attached. But now I need to change it to bind authentication, so the only change I've made is changing "auth_bind=no" to "auth_bind=yes". After this change, backend servers are working fine. Director servers are also working for POP and IMAP connections, but for LMTP they are returning: May 6 10:23:35 myotis40 dovecot: lmtp(48026): Error: user myuser(a)um.es: Auth PASS lookup failed This error is returned without any ldap lookup, neither connection to backend servers. Any help? thanks in advance. -- Angel L.

only mark as deleted when deleted as default for some mailboxes
by zucca＠systemschmiede.com 06 May '15

06 May '15

Hi list, i wonder if this is possible with some dovecot configuration. Selected mailboxusers will only mark their mails as deleted, when a mail is being deleted through any client. No automatic expunge. This is default behaviour in Outlook, and i think in Thunderbird too, but unfortunately not in Open-Xchange for example. So i was asking myself if it would be possible to simply turn this feature on maybe globally and as a default for some users. Thank you very much for your reply.

dovecot-proxy with managesieve, director and backend dovecot imap
by George Vieira 06 May '15

06 May '15

hi all, I've been tasked to add sieve/managesieve to an existing dovecot cluster running 2.1.7 on debian wheezy which is made up of 2 dovecot-proxy hosts as directors and some back end dovecot imap hosts all running the same version. My problem is that I thought to put the service on the director/proxy hosts since they wouldn't have too much load on it, but when I do I get the following error: Apr 28 11:00:28 master: Info: Dovecot v2.1.7 starting up (core dumps disabled) Apr 28 11:00:28 config: Warning: service auth { client_limit=50000 } is lower than required under max. load (60000) Apr 28 11:00:34 managesieve-login: Error: proxy: host not given: user=<mailchannel(a)mydomain.net>, method=PLAIN, rip=192.168.100.207, lip=192.168.100.119, TLS, session=<3/zPY74UOgDAqGTP> Apr 28 11:00:34 managesieve-login: Info: Aborted login (internal failure, 1 succesful auths): user=<mailchannel(a)mydomain.net>, method=PLAIN, rip=192.168.100.207, lip=192.168.100.119, TLS, session=<3/zPY74UOgDAqGTP> From searching around, only ever saw 1 result which was to add "executable = managesieve-login director" to the managesieve service, but this made no difference at all and the error is the same. So I tried to instead use the back end imap servers, but they throw errors expecting the users password to be the common proxy/director password as below: passdb { driver = static args = user=%u password=crypticpasswordagain } Apr 28 12:03:37 auth: Debug: static(mailchannel(a)mydomain.net,192.168.100.207,<17RTRb8UpADAqGTP>): lookup Apr 28 12:03:37 auth: Info: static(mailchannel(a)mydomain.net,192.168.100.207,<17RTRb8UpADAqGTP>): Password mismatch Apr 28 12:03:37 auth: Debug: static(mailchannel(a)mydomain.net,192.168.100.207,<17RTRb8UpADAqGTP>): PLAIN(85387v92394jks) != 'crypticpasswordagain' Apr 28 12:03:39 auth: Debug: client out: FAIL 1 user=mailchannel(a)mydomain.net So with configs below, how is it best to run managesieve that takes the correct login/password without directing to the cluster (or direct if it's easier but must use real user password)? -- dovecot proxy config -- #

[sieve] extracting address behavior changes beetwen 2.2.13 and 2.2.16
by Marcin Mirosław 05 May '15

05 May '15

Hi all! After upgrading dovecot from 2.2.13 to 2.2.16 I noticed that my sieve filters doesn't catch some emails. I used sieve-test with tracing (it's great tool!) and I can see as below: part of sieve filter: [...] elsif address :is "From" "backup(a)areda.pl" { [...] dovecot-2.2.13: 36: address test 36: starting `:is' match with `i;ascii-casemap' comparator: 36: extracting `From' headers from message 36: parsing address header value `=?UTF-8?B?QmFjdWxhQEFUTQ==?= <backup(a)areda.pl>' 36: extracting `all' part from address `backup(a)areda.pl' 36: matching value `backup(a)areda.pl' 36: with key `backup(a)areda.pl' => 1 36: finishing match with result: matched 36: jump if result is false 36: not jumping dovecot-2.2.16: 36: address test 36: starting `:is' match with `i;ascii-casemap' comparator: 36: extracting `From' headers from message 36: parsing address header value `Bacula@ATM <backup(a)areda.pl>' 36: extracting `all' part from address `Bacula@ATM' 36: matching value `Bacula@ATM' 36: with key `backup(a)areda.pl' => 0 36: finishing match with result: not matched 36: jump if result is false 36: jumping to line 43 So in newer dovecot sieve uses comment not exact email address. Did I wrongly wrote my sieve script? Thanks, Marcin.

Dovecot 2.2.16 doesn't rotate mdbox files
by Басов Евгений 04 May '15

04 May '15

Hello, there's setting in my config file: mail_location = mdbox:/var/vmail/%Ld/%Ln:INDEX=/var/indexes/%Ld/%Ln mdbox_rotate_size = 1M mdbox_preallocate_space = yes mdbox_rotate_interval = 1d As I understand, this settings means that file which contains letters with refcount=0 will be rotated after 23:59 today. I remember letter ID and execute grep whith this one in storage directory. Letter was presented. After that, I removed letter over IMAP protocol, checked and find it again. On the next day check with grep was repeated and letter was finded. After doveadm purge -u user@domain letter was expunged. What's wrong in my configuration?

backup mails from alternate storage
by Lars Täuber 04 May '15

04 May '15

Hi there! It seems that # doveadm backup -v backup -fu $MUSER mdbox:"$BKPDIR/$MUSER/mdbox" doesn't backup all messages stored in alternate storage. mail_location = mdbox:~/mdbox:ALT=/srv/mail/slow/vmail/%n/mdbox I don't know how to debug this. The sizes of the mailboxes in the filesystems of user C are strange: ~/mdbox: # du -sm 2169 ALT: # du -sm 25252 backup: # du -sm 2658 This is with dovecot 2.2.9 on Ubuntu x86_64 14.04.2 LTS. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? How can I test if messages stored in the alternate storage are successfully backed up? Thanks Lars

Fatal: Unknown scheme: SHA512-CRYPT. On a Mac-mini
by Robert Chalmers 02 May '15

02 May '15

Running postfix+dovecot+mysql on a mac-mini, and trying to solve this puzzle. Is this a Mac issue?, a MySQL issue? or something I haven't configured in? You can see from the output of the samples shows in the first case, that SHA512-CRYPT seems to be Unknown. The code I used is from a Linux based tutorial on setting up Postfix+Dovecot+MySQL on a site. Everything is generally going ok, apart from this bit. There are some others unknown as well. The codes used to create my database of passwords follows these output examples. MacMini:~ robert$ sudo doveadm pw -s SHA512-CRYPT -p 123456 Fatal: Unknown scheme: SHA512-CRYPT MacMini:~ robert$ sudo doveadm pw -s SHA512 -p 123456 {SHA512}ujJTh2rta8ItSm/1PYQGxq2GQZXtFEq1yHYhtsIztUi66uaVbfNG7IwX9eoQ817jy8UUeX7X3dMUVGTioLq0Ew== MacMini:~ robert$ sudo doveadm pw -s SHA256 -p 123456 {SHA256}jZae727K08KaOmKSgOaGzww/XVqGr/PKEgIMkjrcbJI= MacMini:~ robert$ sudo doveadm pw -s MD5 -p 123456 {MD5}$1$.mAQzPhO$6v/WxTUt.Y1lhopkMarEb0 MacMini:~ robert$ sudo doveadm pw -s MD5-CRYPT -p 123456 {MD5-CRYPT}$1$gNkYwx/o$3nQLmUIPOBmZdR/e/EXFV1 MacMini:~ robert$ sudo doveadm pw -s BLF-CRYPT -p 123456 Fatal: Unknown scheme: BLF-CRYPT MacMini:~ robert$ sudo doveadm pw -s SHA512 -p 1pass66U! {SHA512}EuuO6BAt+bgzXIOw7XIdiVBFwdEZ2tGqHOJ/DSTSkD+ikw7GQQo+KtHSta7p3KNv2AEVKtfOuyl5UeCEqnKogg== MacMini:~ robert$ sudo doveadm pw -s SHA256-CRYPT -p 1pass66U!

Which seems to work fine, and creates the table as it should - even though the resulting password doesn't appear to be quite right for SHA512-CRYPT INSERT INTO `mailserver`.`virtual_users` (`id`, `domain_id`, `password` , `email`) VALUES ('1', '1', ENCRYPT('firstpassword', CONCAT('$6$', SUBSTRING(SHA(RAND()), -16))), 'email1(a)example.com'), ('2', '1', ENCRYPT('secondpassword', CONCAT('$6$', SUBSTRING(SHA(RAND()), -16))), 'email2(a)example.com'); What it actually creates is this: This is not a SHA512-CRYPT password?? mysql> SELECT * FROM mailserver.virtual_users; 3 | 1 | $6jxK9DWPBrAc | robert(a)zeus.example.com Just to be clear,. this is the section of the Dovecot configs that deals with handling this. BUT.. On the MAC-Mini, SHA512-CrYPT is unknown. # List of supported schemes is in # http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/PasswordSchemes # default_pass_scheme = SHA512-CRYPT So the question is, what Encryption should I be using, and is this an Apple thing, or a MySQL thing?

Postpone email delivery with LMTP and Postfix
by Miloslav Hůla 01 May '15

01 May '15

Hi, is there any way, based on userdb/passwdb attribute, how to postpone an email delivery? The purpose is, I need to freeze an account (Maildir++) for a few minutes and new email must not be delivered. But emails must be delivered when account is unfrozen. I found few things about Postfix filters, but I'm not sure it's a good way. Thank you, Milo

A question about Configure time options, and base directories and Defaults?
by Robert Chalmers 30 Apr '15

30 Apr '15

I originally downloaded the sources a few weeks ago, dovecot-2.2.16, and simply did a ./configure make make install I'm running OSX 10.10.3 on a mac-mini. Not being too sure that I was going to go ahead with this whole idea... in any event, I did. BUT... most documentation I come across as I search for answers refers to the base directories being below /etc - as in postfix actually. ie; /etc/dovecot /etc/postfix Which seems logical to me - and appears to be a "default" or standard, at least in most documentation. However, my cavaliere installation put everything below /usr/local, as in /usr/local/etc/dovecot Which has caused me no end of fiddling as I try and remember where things are when I'm working on config files. There even appears to be a /private/etc/dovecot folder, which I seem to have somehow created about a month ago??? but is empty anyway. So, on my Mac I now have these folders/directories. These may have been created by a previous attempt, or by an installation to CutedgeSystems Mailserve. Now redundant. /private/etc/dovecot <---- empty /private/etc/pam.d/dovecot <--- contains login, pop3, ssh etc etc /private/var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot <-- this is a link to the one just above ??? or the other one is a link to this? /usr/libexec/dovecot <-- this contains a link to dovecot-lda [dovecot-lda -> /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda] that I put in myself because that's where dovecot was looking for it. ========= everything below this line is as a result of the installation from source /usr/local/cutedge/dovecot /usr/local/etc/dovecot /usr/local/include/dovecot /usr/local/lib/dovecot /usr/local/libexec/dovecot /usr/local/sbin/dovecot /usr/local/share/doc/dovecot /usr/local/var/lib/dovecot /usr/local/var/run/dovecot I see from this list in someone else's post, that it's obviously possible - and I should have remembered - to put the files where ever I want them. i.e. /etc/dovecot If I read this list right, it will put the installation into /etc/dovecot - with some in other, appropriate directories. NOT all below /user/local as I have done. --prefix=/usr \ --sysconfdir=/etc \ --libexecdir=\${prefix}/lib \ --localstatedir=/var \ --mandir=\${prefix}/share/man \ --infodir=\${prefix}/share/info \ --with-moduledir=\${prefix}/lib/dovecot/modules \ --disable-rpath \ --disable-static Now for the burning question. Is it possible now to re-configure, then reinstall into the more appropriate directories, then copy the configuration files over. Make the appropriate weeks, and remove the original /usr/local/xxxx installation? Or is that just a step too far for the sake of what is essentially window dressing. The system I might add appears to be working as is? Thanks for any advice from the experts. (Sorry if the formatting in this post gets screwed up. It;s gmail;s web interface) Robert

Looks to me like either a bug, or the documentation (man doveadm-sync) is incorrect...? Reuben

quota_over_flag examples?
by E.B. 30 Apr '15

30 Apr '15

I can't find any posts on this list for peoples using quota_over_flag http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Quota/Configuration#Overquota-flag_.28v2.2.16.2B-.… If my userdb is sql what would be best script to use in terms of performance? (I mean if over-quota-flag triggers script every time it changes and the script calls CLI mysql client isn't all this so expensive to spawn a new shell session which spawns a mysql client?) Anyone knows how to use this flag with postfix *making postfix send special reject* "user over quota" note instead of plain SMTP reject?? Is an additional database lookup (restriction class?) unavoidable? :( TIA1 PS Looks like it is tricky almost impossible to make postfix do rejects based on this flag for aliases. (Special query would be a little messy for our schema but i dunno at what point postfix resolves aliases?)

lda and lmtp error after upgrading dovecot
by giorgio paolucci 29 Apr '15

29 Apr '15

Hello everybody, after upgrading dovecot on a debian wheezy installation from the standard package version (dovecot 2.1.7) to dovecot 2.2.13-11 from wheezy-backports, i noticed some errors in my logs... Apr 28 22:00:13 lmtp(4879, xxxxxxxxx(a)unipd.it) Info: copy from <lmtp DATA>: box=INBOX, uid=error, msgid=<20150428200011.47D801F32(a)mydoom.unipd.it>, size=1523 They are not frequent but still coninuing since the upgrade. After the upgrade I found also errors coming fom lda: Apr 28 12:29:36 lda(userxxxxxx(a)unipd.it): Info: copy from stdin: box=INBOX, uid=error, msgid=, size=595 Apr 28 12:29:37 lda(userxxxxxx(a)unipd.it): Info: msgid=unspecified: saved mail to INBOX Strange thing as I use lmtp for local delivery. Is there some tuning I can do? My storage is accessed via NFS with a load blancer keeping sticky sessions "per user". Is there any risk to loose mails? Here is my dovecot -n Thanks in advance.

Trash Plugin bugs
by Alexei Gradinari 29 Apr '15

29 Apr '15

dovecot v2.2.16 I've found a few bugs in Trash plugin. 1. If Quota set only messages limit (without storage limit) then Trash plugin does not expunge any message because Quota plugin sets too_large_r=TRUE. It's because quota_default_test_alloc function does not check if bytes_limit is set. /* if size is bigger than any limit, then it is bigger than the lowest limit */ - if (size > bytes_limit) { + if (bytes_limit > 0 && size > bytes_limit) { *too_large_r = TRUE; break; } 2. Trash plugin does not use bytes_ceil/count_ceil to calculate size_needed/count_needed to expunge. Trash plugin may expunge more messages that nedeed. + if (ctx->bytes_ceil!=(uint64_t)-1 && ctx->bytes_ceil < size + ctx->bytes_over) { + size_needed = size + ctx->bytes_over - ctx->bytes_ceil; + } + if (ctx->count_ceil!=(uint64_t)-1 && ctx->count_ceil < 1 + ctx->count_over) { + count_needed = 1 + ctx->count_over - ctx->count_ceil; + } + /* not enough space. try deleting some from mailbox. */ - ret = trash_try_clean_mails(ctx, size + ctx->bytes_over, - 1 + ctx->count_over); + ret = trash_try_clean_mails(ctx, size_needed, count_needed); 3. Trash plugin does not check 'unlimited' values in bytes_ceil/count_ceil and may overflow them when add expunged size/messages - ctx->bytes_ceil += size_expunged; - ctx->count_ceil += expunged_count; + if (ctx->bytes_ceil!=(uint64_t)-1) { + ctx->bytes_ceil += size_expunged; + } + if (ctx->count_ceil!=(uint64_t)-1) { + ctx->count_ceil += expunged_count; + } See attached patch.

[patch] TLS Handshake failures can crash imap-login
by Hanno Böck 27 Apr '15

27 Apr '15

Hi, I tracked down a tricky bug in dovecot that can cause the imap-login and pop3-login processes to crash on handshake failures. This can be tested by disabling SSLv3 in the dovecot config (ssl_protocols = !SSLv2 !SSLv3) and trying to connect with openssl and forced sslv3 (openssl s_client -ssl3 -connect localhost:995). This would cause a crash. What was going on is this: In ssl-proxy-openssl.c in line 545 in the function ssl_step() the function ssl_handshake() is called. There SSL_accept() is called. If SSL_accept failes - because a client sent an invalid packet or something the server doesn't support or any other reason - ssl_handle_error() will be called. ssl_handle_error() will call ssl_proxy_destroy(). ssl_proxy_destroy() will then call ssl_proxy_flush(). And ssl_proxy_flush will call ssl_step() again. Here we have a loop. Now when SSL_accept() gets called again on the same context this is an invalid state for OpenSSL and it crashes. What to do? In essence, if ssl_proxy_destroy is called it shouldn't try to finish the handshake if the handshake hasn't even started due to an error. This can be done by a simple if check, see attached patch. I think this should do it. I have seen that a bug that is probably rootet in this has been posted here before regarding ssl3-disabled configs: http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2015-March/100188.html cu, -- Hanno Böck http://hboeck.de/ mail/jabber: hanno(a)hboeck.de GPG: BBB51E42

Using Identities to send Emails, question on Email Storage

hi, i was wondering that when sending mail with a different identity(bob(a)mydomain.com using help(a)mydomain.com identity), why does it not copy the message to help(a)mydomain.com(Sent box). instead it only shows it on bob(a)mydomain.com(Sent box). appreciate if someone could advise. could someone advise how to fix this as i would like to see the message in help(a)mydomain.com(SentBox) too. thanks kevin

prefetch not working (for me) on ldap user backend

Auth-worker, Unknown User
by Stephen R Guglielmo 25 Apr '15

25 Apr '15

Hi list, I'm running Debian Jessie (8). I have Postfix and Dovecot working successfully. I attempted to setup LMTP in order to enable sieve support, but it seems I was not successful. Dovecot version 2.2.13. Postfix accepts an incoming test mail I sent, then tries to deliver it to Dovecot via LMTP: dovecot: lmtp(13493): Connect from local dovecot: auth-worker(13495): pam(srg(a)example.com): unknown user dovecot: lmtp(13493): Disconnect from local: Successful quit Postfix then bounces my mail with a "550 User doesn't exist." It seems that Dovecot is trying to lookup my whole address (srg(a)example.com) in PAM instead of just the username ("srg"), which does exist. What can I do to avoid this? I have searched the internet about this and found a few references to "args = %s" and "args = username_format=%n" for passdb and/or userdb, but I have tried both (restarting Dovecot) to no avail. Thank you! `doveconf -n` below: # 2.2.13: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-042stab103.6 x86_64 Debian 8.0 auth_verbose = yes first_valid_uid = 1000 last_valid_uid = 1000 listen = 167.114.96.243, 2607:5300:100:200::fce lmtp_save_to_detail_mailbox = yes mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir 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 { driver = pam } plugin { recipient_delimiter = + sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve } protocols = " imap lmtp" service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } } service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 143 } inet_listener imaps { port = 0 } } service lmtp { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { group = postfix mode = 0600 user = postfix } } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.cacert.pem ssl_cipher_list = HIGH:!aNULL:!eNULL:!EXP:!SSLv2 ssl_dh_parameters_length = 2048 ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.privkey.pem ssl_prefer_server_ciphers = yes ssl_protocols = TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2 userdb { driver = passwd } protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = sieve }

Hi, at moment I have this environment: CentOS nginx + phpfpm Dovecot, with Maildir format Postfix Roundcube MySQL backend about 10000 mailusers dual core Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 3.00GHz 8 GB RAM network storage device (Coraid), ext4 file system I have no performance issue now, but I need to move to a different server: FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE nginx + phpfpm Dovecot Postfix Roundcube dual core Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU 5120 @ 1.86GHz 16 GB RAM local storage with zfs file system My question is: is better to use SQLite instead of MySQL? Should I prefer dbox format? Thank you in advance for your opinion!

[BUG] imap-login segfault when running nmap -sV
by Florian Pritz 24 Apr '15

24 Apr '15

Hi, I've noticed that nmap crashes my imap-login (also pop3-login) and narrowed it down to `nmap -sV -p 993 $host`. I've noticed that if I remove "ssl_protocols = !SSLv2 !SSLv3" from my config or enable SSLv3 rather than disabling it the segfault disappears. I'm running on Arch Linux with dovecot 2.2.16-1 and openssl 1.0.2.a-1. I've also attached a network capture, but since it's SSL this probably won't help all that much. I hope this is enough information to reproduce the issue. If necessary I can recompile dovecot with debug symbols for a better backtrace.

acl and lazy_expunge plugins are incompatible?
by Paolo Cravero 24 Apr '15

24 Apr '15

Hello list. Following two previous unanswered requests (http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2014-August/097449.html and http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2014-May/096261.html) I fell into the same problem: ACL and lazy_expunge plugins do not work together. I had lazy_expunge enabled working OK. Then I activated ACL plugin, and gave dovecot.2 visibily over paolo.cravero's Inbox: the IMAP connection fails on server-side. Relevant debug log is: Mar 3 15:59:02 tst-msg03 dovecot: imap(dovecot.2(a)csi.it): Debug: Quota grace: root=User quota bytes=576716800 (10%) Mar 3 15:59:02 tst-msg03 dovecot: imap(dovecot.2(a)csi.it): Debug: dict quota: user=paolo.cravero(a)csi.it, uri=file:/maildata1/home/csi.it/p/paolo.cravero/dovecot-quota, noenforcing=0 Mar 3 15:59:02 tst-msg03 dovecot: imap(dovecot.2(a)csi.it): Debug: fs: root=/maildata1/main/csi.it/p/paolo.cravero, index=/maildata1/indexes/csi.it/p/paolo.cravero, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=, alt=/maildata1/altstorage/csi.it/p/paolo.cravero Mar 3 15:59:02 tst-msg03 dovecot: imap(dovecot.2(a)csi.it): Debug: acl: initializing backend with data: vfile Mar 3 15:59:02 tst-msg03 dovecot: imap(dovecot.2(a)csi.it): Debug: acl: acl username = paolo.cravero(a)csi.it Mar 3 15:59:02 tst-msg03 dovecot: imap(dovecot.2(a)csi.it): Debug: acl: owner = 1 Mar 3 15:59:02 tst-msg03 dovecot: imap(dovecot.2(a)csi.it): Debug: acl vfile: Global ACLs disabled Mar 3 15:59:02 tst-msg03 dovecot: imap(dovecot.2(a)csi.it): Fatal: lazy_expunge: Unknown namespace: '.EXPUNGED/' Removing the lazy_expunge, ACLs do work as expected and I can add/remove/use them.

Moving a local domain to sql
by ＠lbutlr 22 Apr '15

22 Apr '15

I have a domain that current maps to local users that I want to move into the mysql maps with all the other domains, but I am unsure of the best way to proceed with this. For example, my mail server is covisp.net and my personal domain is kreme.com, and currently kremels(a)kreme.com maps to the local user kremels. I want it to map to the existing mysql database as “kernels(a)kreme.xn--com-9o0a. (For example only, I’m not moving kreme.com, I am too dependent on procmail for all my list processing). Once I setup the user account in the mysql database do I just move the Maildir from /home/kremels to /usr/local/virtual/kremels(a)kreme.com/ and reload dovecot? -- I leave symbols to the symbol-minded - George Carlin

dovecot efficient use of resources
by shouddy＠enet.cu 22 Apr '15

22 Apr '15

I just started a heavy load imap service and everything fitted OK in functional terms. The problem comes whith stress tests, I have no problem in the directors line. But my doubt comes whether the backends are using efficiently the resources assigned or not. The main goal is to maximize the concurrency without affect the integrity of operations. My question is: Is there a rule for relating the amount of computing resources (RAM, Processor) with the number of simultaneous connections to an IMAP/POP3 server running dovecot? I had made all the adjustmens for high performance in dovecot according to the docs and O.S specs Backend's hardware Processor: AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 6136 RAM: 16 GB HDD: Enought for testing I'm confident the NFS layer is not making noise (yet).

Please help: error after upgrade to version 2.1.16
by Harald Langner 18 Apr '15

18 Apr '15

Hallo I can not find a forum at dovecot.org and I get a problem I can not solve. After Updating to the version dovecot2 2.1.16 I can no more get eMails with my eMail-client. All has been working fine before. Server: FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE-p18, with perl 5, version 18, subversion 4 (v5.18.4) It seems it is an authentication problem with my server. The errors are: #cat dovecot.log Apr 17 22:19:37 imap-login: Error: Timeout waiting for handshake from auth server. my pid=41810, input bytes=0 Apr 17 22:19:58 auth: Error: auth: environment corrupt; missing value for DOVECOT_ Apr 17 22:19:58 auth: Fatal: unsetenv(RESTRICT_SETUID) failed: Bad address Apr 17 22:19:58 master: Error: service(auth): command startup failed, throttling for 60 secs Apr 17 22:24:04 auth: Error: auth: environment corrupt; missing value for DOVECOT_ Apr 17 22:24:04 auth: Fatal: unsetenv(RESTRICT_SETUID) failed: Bad address Apr 17 22:24:04 master: Error: service(auth): command startup failed, throttling for 60 secs I have google and has nothing found about "..environment corrupt; missing value for DOVECOT_" and about "auth: Fatal: unsetenv(RESTRICT_SETUID) failed: Bad address" I have make a reinstall - but doesn't help. I get the same error. I have not forget to create new certs with the dovecote shell-script after installation. I'm using passwd (virtual users). Make a cat on passwd shows that it is not empty. Also the date of the file show that the update installation has it not changed. So I have not create the dovecot users again. here are some other logs: #cat dovecot-info.log Apr 17 22:29:03 imap-login: Info: Disconnected: Auth process broken (disconnected before auth was ready, waited 1 secs): user=<>, rip=85.181.222.126, lip=78.47.225.20, TLS handshaking Apr 17 22:29:33 imap-login: Info: Disconnected: Auth process broken (disconnected before auth was ready, waited 30 secs): user=<>, rip=85.181.222.126, lip=78.47.225.20, TLS Apr 17 22:29:33 imap-login: Info: Disconnected: Auth process broken (disconnected before auth was ready, waited 30 secs): user=<>, rip=85.181.222.126, lip=78.47.225.20, TLS #cat dovecot-debug.log Apr 17 22:30:03 auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/auth Apr 17 22:30:03 auth: Debug: Read auth token secret from /var/run/dovecot//auth-token-secret.dat Apr 17 22:34:01 auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/auth Apr 17 22:34:01 auth: Debug: Read auth token secret from /var/run/dovecot//auth-token-secret.dat Apr 17 22:34:01 imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x10, ret=1: before/accept initialization [85.181.222.126] Apr 17 22:34:01 imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: before/accept initialization [85.181.222.126] Apr 17 22:34:01 imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 read client hello A [85.181.222.126] Apr 17 22:34:01 imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 write server hello A [85.181.222.126] Apr 17 22:34:01 imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 write certificate A [85.181.222.126] Apr 17 22:34:01 imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 write key exchange A [85.181.222.126] Apr 17 22:34:01 imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 write server done A [85.181.222.126] Apr 17 22:34:01 imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 flush data [85.181.222.126] Apr 17 22:34:01 imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 read client certificate A [85.181.222.126] Apr 17 22:34:01 imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2002, ret=-1: SSLv3 read client key exchange A [85.181.222.126] Apr 17 22:34:01 imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2002, ret=-1: SSLv3 read client key exchange A [85.181.222.126] Apr 17 22:34:01 imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2002, ret=-1: SSLv3 read client key exchange A [85.181.222.126] Apr 17 22:34:01 imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2002, ret=-1: SSLv3 read client key exchange A [85.181.222.126] ######################################################################################## My configuration is sendmail(MTA) -> procmail(LDA) -> dovecot(IMAP) with TLS and Maildir (no DB) Authentification been done with dovecot password file (no real user, no OpenLDAP, no other DB-User) #dovecot -n # 2.2.16: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE-p18 amd64 ufs auth_debug = yes auth_mechanisms = digest-md5 plain login auth_verbose = yes auth_verbose_passwords = plain base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/ debug_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-debug.log default_internal_user = vmail default_login_user = vmail deliver_log_format = msgid=%m: %$ %f %s disable_plaintext_auth = no first_valid_uid = 1000 hostname = swdevil.de info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-info.log lda_mailbox_autocreate = yes lda_mailbox_autosubscribe = yes log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log login_greeting = IMAPd ready. login_log_format_elements = user=<%u> method=%m rip=%r lip=%l mpid=%e %c mail_access_groups = mailnull mail_debug = yes mail_location = maildir:/home/vmail/%d/%n/:INBOX=/home/vmail/%d/%n/.INBOX mail_plugins = " virtual" mail_temp_dir = /tmp/mail namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = prefix = } passdb { args = scheme=DIGEST-MD5 username_format=%n /usr/local/etc/dovecot/pass driver = passwd-file } service auth-worker { group = wheel user = root } service imap-login { group = dovenull inet_listener imap { port = 0 } inet_listener imaps { port = 993 } } service imap { process_limit = 100 } service pop3-login { group = dovenull inet_listener pop3 { port = 0 } inet_listener pop3s { port = 0 } } service pop3 { process_limit = 100 } ssl = required ssl_cert = </usr/local/etc/dovecot/certs/dovecot_ssl_crt.pem ssl_key = </usr/local/etc/dovecot/certs/dovecot_ssl_key.pem userdb { args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/home/vmail/%d/%n driver = static } verbose_proctitle = yes verbose_ssl = yes protocol pop3 { pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv } Many thanks for Your advice what could be wrong.

Problem: mail moved by thunderbird script is invisible to mail clients, but in cur directory
by David Gessel 18 Apr '15

18 Apr '15

Over the last year I've had a script moving old mail (120 days) into my annual archive folder. This is the first year I've done this with Dovecot, previously it was running against Cyrus. There's nothing particularly clever: a few conditions to match, then "move message to" the appropriate archive folder. There's one for every year from 2000 to 2015. 2015 is just barely ahead of need. 2014 has about a year's mail in the cur directory. The 2000-2013 folders were filled by Cyrus and were migrated over using IMAP Migrate. They're fine, and read normally. The 2014 layout looks normal to me # ls cur dovecot-uidlist dovecot.index.cache dovecot.index.log.2 new dovecot-keywords dovecot.index dovecot.index.log maildirfolder tmp Permissions are the same as every other folder, as is owner: drw-r----- 2 vmail vmail 9.6K Apr 12 21:13 cur and # ls | wc -l 9822 I've checked with Thunderbird, Mulberry, Claws, and Sylpheed - none can read the directory. The files look normal: 2014/cur 1426411329.M123928P26360.host.domain.com,S=3523,W=3591:2,R More or less the same as a working directory: 2013/cur 1405500734.M958596P27867.host.domain.com,S=794,W=819:2,RS I've run # doveadm force-resync -u user .archives.2014 and nothing changed. I'm at a bit of a loss since no client can read them, something like moving them to another folder and back is a little complicated. Any hints?

Replace autocreate after upgrading
by trash＠skrilnetz.net 17 Apr '15

17 Apr '15

Hi, I just upgraded to 2.2.9 and found out that autocreate should not be used any more. I had a look at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxSettings and I tried to replace my old config but I had no success. Would somebody be so and help me to change my config? Here is my old config: http://pastebin.com/zFUAQmV3 Thanks,

Potentially breaking dict-proxy (dict-sql) backwards compatibility
by Timo Sirainen 17 Apr '15

17 Apr '15

Looks like the dict-proxy code doesn't currently do escaping newlines properly, but it still accidentally happens to work, because the data is stored in the escaped form. I'm thinking about fixing this, but this might break somebody's existing dict usage. But then again maybe nobody is actually using it now, especially because it hasn't been working exactly as expected. So, can anybody tell me if they're currently using a combination of: - dict proxy (especially to dict sql) - containing values which can contain LFs (or TABs) I guess this mainly means storing Sieve scripts or IMAP METADATA to SQL. Or maybe somebody is using dict (via proxy) for their own purposes?..

Thunderbird sync time? (reverse quota warning)
by E.B. 16 Apr '15

16 Apr '15

For reverse quota warning, it looks like webmail works nice. quota_warning3 = -storage=100%% quota-warning below %u # user is no longer over quota But using thunderbird I deleted enough messages to go below quota and I deleted them from trash folder too. But mail log does not show thunderbird connecting to imap to actually delete mails and get the trigger below quota warning msg. It's i thinks a thundrbrd behavior but i wonder if anyone on this list knows how it works? Do i just keep waiting for it to sync eventually? or??????? TIA!

Dovecot and recipient_delimiter

Disk space usage with mdbox
by Alexandros Soumplis 15 Apr '15

15 Apr '15

Hello, I am using dovecot with mdbox+sis and I notice an ever increasing disk space usage since I converted mailboxes from Maildir to mdboxes. I have checked with a user and while it actually uses only 65K, his mdbox files on disk are more than 6G. The backup of his mailbox is just 64K. Any suggestions ? Below are some relevant commands: [root@mail ~]# doveadm quota get -u test Quota name Type Value Limit % User quota STORAGE 10135 31457280 0 User quota MESSAGE 186 - 0 [root@mail ~]# du -k --max-depth=1 /mdboxes/test/ 220 /mdboxes/test/mailboxes 6029348 /mdboxes/test/storage 6029592 /mdboxes/test/ [root@mail ~]# doveadm purge -u test [root@mail ~]# du -k --max-depth=1 /mdboxes/test/ 220 /mdboxes/test/mailboxes 6029348 /mdboxes/test/storage 6029592 /mdboxes/test/ [root@mail ~]# doveadm backup -u test mdbox:/tmp/MDBOX_TEMP/ [root@mail ~]# du -k --max-depth=1 /tmp/MDBOX_TEMP/ 16 /tmp/MDBOX_TEMP/mailboxes 65540 /tmp/MDBOX_TEMP/storage 65568 /tmp/MDBOX_TEMP/

setting service_count results in Permission denied
by Micah Anderson 15 Apr '15

15 Apr '15

The load on our machines has gotten too high, so I started to see log messages that directed me to look at this page for config changes: https://pad.riseup.net/redirect#http%3A//wiki2.dovecot.org/SocketUnavailable One of the things I wanted to do on that page was to set the: service imap { service_count = 100 } but when I added that to the service imap block, and restarted dovecot, I see this in the logs: Error: net_connect_unix(/run/dovecot/imap-postlogin) failed: Permission denied I dont understand how this impacts permissions. Its clearly this setting, because when I remove it, things work again. I found nothing else in the logs indicating a configuration problem. This is what the config block looked like: service imap { # Most of the memory goes to mmap()ing files. You may need to increase this # limit if you have huge mailboxes. #vsz_limit = 256M # Max. number of IMAP processes (connections) process_limit = 4096 service_count = 100 executable = imap imap-postlogin } service imap-postlogin { # the script process runs as the user specified here (v2.0.14+): #user = $default_internal_user executable = script-login /usr/local/sbin/postlogin_imap # this UNIX socket listener must use the same name as given to imap executable unix_listener imap-postlogin { } } This is with dovecot 2.2.13, thanks for any help you can provide! micah

concurrent IMAP connections (plus 2 easy questions)
by Ron Cleven 15 Apr '15

15 Apr '15

I posted a few days back asking about configuration issues with a modestly large number of IMAP connections. Several people were kind enough to respond with various ideas. Armed with those ideas and Google, I was able to determine the underlying configuration issues with CentOS 7 and Dovecot 2.2.10. I did some further benchmarking to ensure that we could properly plan our server configuration requirements as we continue to roll this out, so I thought I would share this, partly to see if anyone has experiences that conflict with my findings. I found that each incremental dovecot IMAP process required about 750k of RAM. Simulations confirmed that 8 gig of RAM was sufficient to support approximately 10,000 concurrent IMAP connections (no POP3). CentOS settings: Added: fs/inotify/max_user_instances = 28000 to: /etc/sysctl.d/99-sysctl.conf Added: * hard nproc 28000 * soft nproc 28000 * hard nofile 28000 * soft nofile 28000 to: /etc/security/limits.d/20-nproc.conf To verify the settings after reboot: cat /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_instances ulimit -Hn ulimit -Sn Dovecot: Added: process_limit = 28000 to service imap{} /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf Added (using proxies, would like to just turn off this check): mail_max_userip_connections = 40 to protocol imap {}: /etc/dovecot/conf.d/20-imap.conf Added: process_limit = 28000 to service managesieve {}: /etc/dovecot/conf.d/20-managesieve.conf Hope this helps someone. Feedback would be welcome. It would be great if there was a blessed cookbook for Dovecot scaling. At this point it seems a bit like an art form. Now to my two "easy" questions. 1) TCP replication between our two CentOS boxes has been working great, no complaints. However, I realized I did not know how to check the status of replications, as one might want to do if one of the two boxes was taken offline for maintenance or repair. On the surface, it would appear that the command: doveadm replicator status '*' would likely show me what I want to know. However, when I tried it, I got: doveadm(): Fatal: net_connect_unix(/var/run/dovecot/replicator-doveadm) failed: No such file or directory The documentation says that doveadm assumes the socket /var/run/dovecot/replicator-doveadm and the command format provides a "-a" override. In that directory, there is no "replicator-doveadm" socket, but I do see a "replicator" socket. So, should I be using the command: doveadm replicator status -a /var/run/dovecot/replicator '*' or is the non-existence of the replicator-doveadm socket indicative of something I might have done wrong with the config? I hate experimenting more than I have to with a production box. The 2.2.10 Dovecot I am running was installed via yum, so there are no potential compilation issues. 2) It seems logical to me that: dovecot stop would first lock out any new user connections, then do the equivalent of a: doveadm kick "*" before actually cycling everything else down to ensure the shutdown is as graceful as possible. I suppose I could experiment and find out for certain, but I have the sense that the "stop" command is not quite that elegant, so we have implemented procedures to work around it. Just a point of curiosity. An alternative would be if there was a doveadm command to lock out any new user connections, which could then be followed by kick and stop. I have found that many clients are VERY quick to reconnect after a kick.

Authcache and user changing
by Lazy 13 Apr '15

13 Apr '15

Hi, I have noticed that during auth cache hits usernames are not updated. (We use ldap backend and change username with user_attrs = uid=user, mailMessageStore=home, mailQuotaSize=quota_rule=*:bytes=%$ cold cache lmtp(14414): Debug: auth input: testmon_testmon home=/vmail/te/testmon_testmon quota_rule=*:bytes=104857600 lmtp(14414): Debug: changed username to testmon_testmon lmtp(14414): Debug: Added userdb setting: plugin/quota_rule=*:bytes=104857600 hot cache lmtp(14715): Debug: auth input: iqmon(a)mon.test.pl home=/vmail/iq/testmon_testmon quota_rule=*:bytes=104857600 lmtp(14715): Debug: Added userdb setting: plugin/quota_rule=*:bytes=104857600 this kills our dictionary based quota (users have multiple quota instances depending on timing and alias the email was delivered to. Is there a way to force addition of user to the auth cache ? -- Michal Grzedzicki

special_use folders
by Roman Gelfand 13 Apr '15

13 Apr '15

My setup is postfix mail gateway/spamassassin on one machine and dovecot mail box server on another machine. Will the following configuration work? 1. On the mail gateway, I install dovecot-lmtp and use it to deliver locally spam. 2. On the mailbox server, I configure special use junk folder to point mail gateway's spam folder via nfs. If this is correct, how can I configure special use folder to point to a path (variable based on email) which is different from default path? If there is a different way to handle this, I would interested. Thanks in advance

dovecot debug message help required
by Rajesh M 13 Apr '15

13 Apr '15

hi i was carrying out some testing using qmailtoaster with dovecot on a centos 64 server i am connecting to the mailbox using a windows machine with outlook across the lan. the mailbox is around 7gb in size with around 12000 emails spread across multiple folders and i am trying to sync the mailbox folders to by creating an account imap account in outlook. the mails are getting downloaded in the imap folder but the sync does not complete and outlook throws an error. Task 'Synchronizing subscribed folders for user(a)mydomain.com.' reported error (0x800CCC0F) : 'Outlook cannot synchronize subscribed folders for user(a)mydomain.com..

Disabling of userdb/passdb modules using config statements
by Jeroen Massar 13 Apr '15

13 Apr '15

Hola, Debian (and possibly other distros) use the /etc/dovecot/conf.d/* setup where default config files are stuffed and then one can just add a 99-myconfig.conf et voila, variables are overruled. This allows the distro to supply updates to the files at package upgrade time without any/much user intervention. The problem (for me ;) is that the system comes provided with: auth-system.conf.ext containing: passdb { driver = pam } userdb { driver = passwd } Hence pam & /etc/passwd based are always enabled. This while I don't have any local users. Replication seems to then always pick up the local users, which are vmail + nobody (65536). doveadm user '*' thus reports vmail, nobody + virtual users Setting: first_valid_uid = 5000 last_valid_uid = 5000 only keeps vmail in there, but apparently some module (guess replication) is still able to figure out that 'nobody' exists: Apr 10 09:48:25 mail dovecot: doveadm(IPADDR,nobody): Error: Mail access for users with UID 65534 not permitted (see first_valid_uid in config file, uid from userdb lookup). Apr 10 09:48:25 mail dovecot: doveadm(IPADDR,nobody): Error: dsync-server: User init failed Apr 10 09:49:38 mail dovecot: doveadm(nobody): Error: sync: Failed to start remote dsync-server command: Remote exit_code=75 and on the other side: Apr 10 09:54:38 mail dovecot: doveadm(nobody): Error: sync: Unknown user in remote This can be resolved by commenting out the entries in auth-system.conf.ext but then I'll have to do that again at package upgrade time. Hence, would it be a cool option to be able (in the 99-myconfig.conf) file to put: passdb { driver = pam enabled = false } userdb { driver = passwd enabled = false } And thereby disabling those modules completely? Thus avoiding upgrade conflicts etc. Greets, Jeroen

Calendar and address book with Dovecot
by mimicafe＠gmail.com 10 Apr '15

10 Apr '15

Hi all I recently install Postfix and Dovecot, and so far so good. My assumption was that calendar and address book (similar to Gmail calendar or address book) are part of Dovecot. However I do not see anything concerning them in any of the docs I have read so far. What other software (ideally open source, free) do I need in other to have Calendar and address book so my users can manage their contact on their phones or computer? I have looked at Roundcube already, but my requirement is not necessarily to provide web mail. Thanks Mimi

pop3 retr responses too large lines - Fails with current python's poplib
by Guillermo M. Narvaja 10 Apr '15

10 Apr '15

Since December 2014, clients using the Python poplib library (getmail in my case) started to limit the line length of RETR and other command responses sent from the server to 2048 bytes: See https://bugs.python.org/issue16041 (Included at least in Python-2.7.9) Dovecot doesn't have line split in the POP3 module, so Python fails to retrieve messages with long lines. RFC 1939 says: " Responses in the POP3 consist of a status indicator and a keyword possibly followed by additional information. All responses are terminated by a CRLF pair. Responses may be up to 512 characters long, including the terminating CRLF. " I think dovecot-pop3 should split it's output in lines of at least 512 characters. Or at least it should have a "pop3_max_line_length" setting (like "imap_max_line_length").

I would not be surprised if this was related to a broken index, as the other side effect I saw during this sync was an ever-expanding maildir (read: sdbox), multiplying itself during sync, keeping large amounts of the the .temp.<xxxx> in the dir, never moving them to a final directory. That was resolved by stopping dovecot, then deleting the broken sdbox (backups++) and performing a 'dovecot force-resync -u user Folder' on the source. Maybe there was a race somewhere while syncing the large amount of data over; seems that everything is okay now though. Greets, Jeroen
