[Dovecot] Order of istream and ostream chains
by Philipp Brüll 12 Feb '14

12 Feb '14

Hi, I'm creating a scrambler plugin, that adds an istream and an ostream to the stream-chain for the mail input/output. It works well until the zlib plugin is added to the configuration. The scrambler should run before the zlib and encrypt the mail before it's compressed. Since, the plugin is named lib18_scrambler_... (and the other lib20_zlib....), that works well when a mail is received. When a mail is read via IMAP, the plugins should handle the mail in the reverse order. So first, the zlib should decompress it and afterwards the scrambler should decrypt it. But it seems, that they work the other way around. The scrambler istream gets compressed data as input. It's hooked in the chain of istream as the following... static int scrambler_istream_opened(struct mail *_mail, struct istream **stream) { struct mail_private *mail = (struct mail_private *)_mail; union mail_module_context *mmail = SCRAMBLER_MAIL_CONTEXT(mail); struct istream *input, *inputs[2]; input = *stream; *stream = scrambler_istream_create(input); i_stream_unref(&input); return mmail->super.istream_opened(_mail, stream); } static void scrambler_mail_allocated(struct mail *_mail) { struct mail_private *mail = (struct mail_private *)_mail; struct mail_vfuncs *v = mail->vlast; union mail_module_context *mmail; mmail = p_new(mail->pool, union mail_module_context, 1); mmail->super = *v; mail->vlast = &mmail->super; v->istream_opened = scrambler_istream_opened; MODULE_CONTEXT_SET_SELF(mail, scrambler_mail_module, mmail); } How can I reverse the order of istreams? Should I use another hook or vfuns? I'm stuck in the problem for a while now, so any help would be very welcome. Best regards, Philipp

[Dovecot] personal sieve script not included
by Thomas Krause 12 Feb '14

12 Feb '14

Hello, I'm using dovecot 2.2.10 and roundcube (with managesieve enabled). Sieve filtering works well, as long the rule is written into ~/.dovecot.sieve (which is a link to ~/sieve/managesieve.sieve) When adding a new filter set (in roundcube) the script is written to ~/sieve/newfilterset.sieve. This script will not be executed. How can I solve this? I set sieve_dir = ~/sieve This should work, except I misunderstand the doc. # ls -l ./sieve total 6 -rw------- 1 vmail mail 105 Feb 5 09:24 managesieve.sieve -rw------- 1 vmail mail 113 Feb 4 16:30 test.sieve drwx------ 2 vmail mail 512 Feb 5 09:24 tmp Regards, Thomas.

[Dovecot] Problem rebuilding Centos 5/6 pigeonhole RPM from mercurial version
by Juan C. Blanco 12 Feb '14

12 Feb '14

Hi Stephan, I'm traying to rebuild the RH (Centos) EL5 and EL6 RPM with the last mercurial pigeonhole 0.4.2 version, but I'm having problems with the build. I think that I've isolated the problem outside rpmbuild context. I've downloaded dovecot and pigeonhole mercurial versions and built dovecot with the commands: dovecot-2.2.10$ ./autogen.sh dovecot-2.2.10$ ./configure INSTALL_DATA="install -c -p -m644" --enable-header-install --disable-static --with-nss --with-shadow --with-pam --with-gssapi=plugin --with-ldap=plugin --with-sql=plugin --with-mysql --with-zlib --with-sql-drivers --with-libcap --with-db --with-ssl=openssl --with-ssldir=/etc/pki/dovecot --with-notify=inotify --with-solr --with-docs dovecot-2.2.10$ make dovecot-2.2.10$ make install DESTDIR=/var/tmp/dovecot after that, building pigeonhole with the commands pigeonhole-0.4.2$ ./autogen.sh pigeonhole-0.4.2$ ./configure INSTALL_DATA="install -c -p -m644" --build=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu --host=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu --target=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu --program-prefix= --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin --sysconfdir=/etc --datadir=/usr/share --includedir=/usr/include --libdir=/usr/lib64 --libexecdir=/usr/libexec --localstatedir=/var --sharedstatedir=/usr/com --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --with-dovecot=/var/tmp/dovecot --with-managesieve=yes pigeonhole-0.4.2$ make pigeonhole-0.4.2$ make install DESTDIR=/var/tmp/dovecot works fine, but if I install pigeonhole in a different path, i.e. pigeonhole-0.4.2$ make install DESTDIR=/var/tmp/pigeonhole I get the following error make[4]: Entering directory `/home/jc/pigeonhole-0.4.2/src/lib-sieve' make[4]: Nothing to be done for `install-exec-am'. test -z

[Dovecot] RFC 5267 Contexts for IMAP4 PARTIAL results
by Anders Thøgersen 11 Feb '14

11 Feb '14

Hello, I am looking at PARTIAL responses using a dovecot version 2.2.5 and am running into an inconsistency with the RFC which I would like to ask about. The following section http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5267#section-4.4 lists client requests and server responses which I have tried running against a folder, specifying the ranges that fit the contents of the folder I have selected. The Last of the listed client requests returns a response that is not as I would expect: C: A04 UID SEARCH RETURN (PARTIAL 24000:24500) UNDELETED UNKEYWORD $Junk should return S: * ESEARCH (TAG "A04") UID PARTIAL (24000:24500 NIL) // No results are present, this is beyond the end of the results. S: A04 OK Completed. according to the RFC, but instead of NIL in the PARTIAL result I see the full range of UIDs that are in the folder, as in: C: A02 UID SEARCH RETURN (PARTIAL 23500:24000) UNDELETED S: * ESEARCH (TAG "A02") UID PARTIAL (23500:24000 1:9) S: A02 OK Search completed (0.000 secs). The folder that is selected contains 9 emails with the UIDs 1-9. Should the server return NIL Instead of returning 1:9? Thanks! Anders

[Dovecot] Undertanding what the lmtp_save_to_detail_mailbox actually does
by Alan Chandler 11 Feb '14

11 Feb '14

Hi I am just learning to setup dovecot as part of a project to move my home mail serving from a large and complex linux computer which is acting as internet router/nat gateway to the internet (this leaving me exposed without internet connection when it goes down) to a raspberry pi - which will be port-forwarded to, when I turn my internet cable modem back into a router/modem. I have chosen to try and do this with a Postfix/Dovecot combination with some key user information coming from an sqlite database. Postfix will use Dovecot for authentication (where needed) and use its lmtp service for local delivery. I have so far got Dovecot working fine for the basic stuff, including using rsync to copy each of my users entire maildir from the old machine to the new to prove that it can be accessed. but I have one last specific piece of functionality I want to achieve that the old system does (and has been doing) for at least 5 years (that is what is still online - I think I have "archived" some older stuff). The existing environment uses a Exim4/Cyrus IMAP combination and with Exim I have managed to develop the rules so that all outgoing mail from my internal clients is copied into a subdirectory of their sent mail folder. The format of the folder is Sent.yyyy.mm where yyyy and mm are computed on the fly from todays date. (the .separator defining a subfolder in the hierarchy) I now have several years of saved messages in my existing system. Postfix has nowhere near the flexibility of Exim to develop rules like that, but I think I could potentially use an sql query on my user database to set up a sender_bcc_map that addressed the result to <sender local part>+Sent.<yyyy>.<mm> (or maybe<senderlocalpart>+Sent/<yyyy>/<mm> and then send that to dovecot. I have then to decide how to handle it. The problem I am facing is I can find no documentation about what lmtp_save_to_detail_mailbox actually causes lmtp to actually do. Searching the wiki refers to it only in the LMTP page. How should the detail of the address be formatted to specify a subdirectory - can it be specified even? Should I be using it? I have seen comments in the past about people recommending using sieve for this sort of thing. and indeed it might be better if I could figure it out, in that 1) I could then send to something more simple like <senderlocalpart>+saveoutgoing and use the "date" extension of sieve to generate the split. 2) Users could ultimately decide what to do them selves with this tag (and I could define a global "after_sieve" to throw it away. Unfortunately my reading of the fileinto extension is that the destination can only be a literal string and not a "computed" value based on the date. UNLESS anyone knows different? I would welcome any advice anyone could give me Thanks Alan Chandler

[Dovecot] Sieve - Not showing new emails in Thunderbird?
by craig.dovecot＠noboost.org 11 Feb '14

11 Feb '14

Hi, Issue: Sieve works perfectly and does deliver the mail to the correct mail directories. However Thunderbird doesn't detect the new email, until the user clicks on the folder and then all of a sudden it shows the newly detected emails. Perhaps this is a task for the Thunderbird forums? (Thunderbird 24.2.0) Server Side: * CentOS release 6.3 (Final) * dovecot-2.0.9-7.el6.x86_64 * dovecot-pigeonhole-2.0.9-7.el6.x86_64 * postfix-2.6.6-2.2.el6_1.x86_64 * Server Sieve Settings: mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir plugin { sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve sieve_vacation_default_period = 10d sieve_vacation_max_period = 30d sieve_vacation_min_period = 1h } * Client App: - Thunderbird 24.2.0 * Userlevel config; File: ~/.dovecot.sieve require "fileinto"; if address :is "to" "sysadmin(a)example.com" { fileinto "sysadmin"; } elsif address :is "to" "root@" { fileinto "sysadmin"; } elsif address :is "from" "root@" { fileinto "sysadmin"; } cya Craig

[Dovecot] Looking for HowTo Postifx, Dovecot and PostgreSQL
by Frank Lanitz 10 Feb '14

10 Feb '14

Hi folks, I know it's a bit a n00bish question, but I'm a little confused about this many different ways on setting up dovecot with postfix and using a PostgreSQL backend for virtual hosts. I've found this one quiet helpful: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/DovecotPostgresql even it seems to be little outdated for recent versions of dovecot (the auth part of dovecot.conf). Also its lagging some inforamtions I wasn't able to find on my own (e.g. how to set password for a imap account). Can somebody give me a hint for a up-2-date howto for some noob as I am? Cheers, Frank

[Dovecot] Dsync Errors

Greetings, I've seen something like this in another thread, about a month ago, but we're running into this error pretty frequently when we run dsync backup. Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0 [0x39ccc5f1c0] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(default_fatal_handler+0x35) [0x39ccc5f2a5] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0 [0x39ccc5ebb3] -> dsync(dsync_brain_mailbox_tree_sync_change+0x41c) [0x42cc0c] -> dsync(dsync_brain_recv_mailbox_tree_deletes+0x10a) [0x42be7a] -> dsync(dsync_brain_run+0x4fc) [0x429cdc] -> dsync [0x42885b] -> dsync [0x4119ff] -> dsync(doveadm_mail_try_run+0x269) [0x411e09] -> dsync(main+0x358) [0x41a2c8] -> /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf4) [0x3f4281d994] -> dsync [0x4111c9] We're running Dovecot 2.2.4 and the dsync command is this: dsync -u <username> backup maildir:/mnt/backups/<period>/<domain>/<username> When this happens to a particular users account I delete the backup and let it rebuild, which works for awhile, but then it happens again, and it seems to happen to particular users. Can you point me in the right direction to start troubleshooting this? Thanks. -- --Asai

[Dovecot] Auth socket can't listen using ssl
by Anthony Bourguignon 07 Feb '14

07 Feb '14

Hi, I'm using Dovecot 2.2.9 (debian package on testing). It seems that it's not possible to open an auth socket using ssl. I'm using this configuration : service auth { [...] inet_listener authxmpp-client { address = [ips] port = 5220 } inet_listener genericauth-client { ssl = yes address = [ips] port = 5221 } [...] } Both ports are running fine. But the 5221, which should listen in ssl (because of the "ssl = yes" as written in the documentation here : http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Services ) is using plaintext. If I telnet directly to it, the content is delivered on an unsecured socket. Is there a way to make ssl works on this kind of socket ? Thanks a lot

[Dovecot] Multiple ssl-certs on different ports with the same protocol
by myleetlist＠gmx.de 07 Feb '14

07 Feb '14

Hi, is it possible to use multiple ssl-certs on different _ports_ with the same protocol? I know I can configure multiple certs with the "local <ip>" setting*. But how is this (or similar) possible in v2.2.10: local :100 { protocol imap { ... } } local :101 { protocol imap { ... } } This would be useful in a loadbalancing setup, you don't waste IPs and the config files on different servers stay the same. * [http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SSL/DovecotConfiguration]

[Dovecot] Plugin architecture
by Philipp Brüll 06 Feb '14

06 Feb '14

Hi, I'm currently developing a scrambler plugin which should be used to store the mails encrypted on the disk. It uses a special ostream for encryption and an istream for decryption. The idea is, that if a mail arrives via LMTP it goes through the ostream and is written encrypted to disk. If an mail is accessed via IMAP, the istream is used to decrypt the data from disk. That all works fine, but if I add the zlib plugin it all gets mixed up. For some reason, the lmtp process tries to read something from disk using the chain of istreams. That behaviour is a little bit bizzare to me, because my understanding is, that the zlib plugin at this point should only write (compressed) data to disk. Why is the istream used here? And what is read? If I remove zlib from the configuration again, it all works as expected. The dovecot version is 2.1.17. Best regards, Philipp

[Dovecot] Trying to get Dovecot Director Proxying working
by Murray Trainer 06 Feb '14

06 Feb '14

Hi All, Firstly, thanks for all the really helpful responses to my previous questions "Architecture for large Dovecot cluster" and "Sizing MTA servers". I am now trying to get a Dovecot director proxy working with a single backend mail server. When I try to connect to the dovecot proxy on the pop3 and imap ports I get connection refused. I want the authentication to be on the backend mail server initially. I am not sure if I am missing something? More info below...

[Dovecot] LMTP troubles
by Phillip Odam 06 Feb '14

06 Feb '14

Background: Dovecot: v 2.0.9 OS: AWS Linux (derived from CentOS) At this stage I've avoided upgrading to a newer version of Dovecot as version 2.0.9 is what AWS Linux provides and I'd like to be able to run a regular AWS Linux installation if I can. As opposed to pulling newer versions of dovecot from other repositories or building from source, since the odds are this issue is not a bug in dovecot. I've just tried setting up the LMTP service and eventually uncovered that that the greeting the server responds with straight after connecting isn't being returned. This must be a configuration mistake on my behalf but I just haven't been able to figure it out yet. I haven't had LMTP configured for awhile but I'm sure I've had it all in place and don't recall any issue like this. I've followed the detail here http://wiki2.dovecot.org/LMTP, in particular # add lmtp to protocols, otherwise its listeners are ignored protocols = imap pop3 lmtp service lmtp { inet_listener lmtp { address = 192.168.0.24 127.0.0.1 ::1 port = 24 } unix_listener lmtp { #mode = 0666 } } What's also interesting, using telnet my first attempt to connect results in the server closing the connection immediately and then a second attempt to connect results in an established connection but no response from the server so that then the LMTP client knows it's all good to begin issuing commands. I have no idea about the architecture of dovecot and the LMTP service but it's as if dovecot has successfully bound to the port allocated for LMTP* but the the LMTP service has either not started or dovecot doesn't know which service to pass the connection on to. * - dovecot has definitely bound to the port (localhost:24) as netstat clearly shows this. I've tried enabling debug logging per the details here http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Logging and checked that I'm looking at all the logs I need to be using doveadm log find but not seeing any information that helps. At the moment I know I'm light on necessary detail for anyone to help but I thought I'd try in case anyone has seen this before and is able to tell me I've missed X and Y. I'm planning on setting up a clean environment to sort this issue out and if needed will follow up here with more detail and the final solution/s. Thanks Phillip

[Dovecot] mime support for pigeonhole
by Tim Dickson 06 Feb '14

06 Feb '14

is there any chance of rfc5703 (mime support/extension) being added to pigeonhole? I am trying to filter mail with .exe and .zip attachments, to no success. I have tried *header :contains "x-attached" [".zip", ".exe"] *but emails i'm getting don't have x-attached. a sample snippet is below. Subject: testa1 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="------------020304040002050407030900" This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------020304040002050407030900 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit this has a compressed file added a1 --------------020304040002050407030900 Content-Type: application/x-zip-compressed; name="pinglog.zip" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="pinglog.zip" I have tried *header :contains ["Content-Type","name","filename"] ["application/x-zip-compressed",".zip",".exe"]* but that doesn't work either. I can't use body because that doesn't include the mime headers, so the only way I can see is to use mime (aka rfc5703) I am using dovecot 2.1.8 with pigeonhole 0.3.3 (and am about to use dovecot 2.2.9 with pigeonhole 0.4.2 on another server) If I'm just missing the point, or there is already support, please point me in the right direction.

[Dovecot] Mail location security
by Roman Gelfand 06 Feb '14

06 Feb '14

I am not sure I understood this issue correctly... When using maildir with ie ldap. Suppose ldap attribute settings say gid 8 and uid 999, Those are the permissions for every email address. If so, someone who has access to one email user on the server, has access to all. If this is so, is using mailbox instead of maildir resolve this problem? Thanks in advance

[Dovecot] userdb section not recognized in dovecot.conf. Help?
by CypherPunk 06 Feb '14

06 Feb '14

I'm following a tutorial[1] on how to configure dovecot and the tutorial says to insert the following configuration options into the dovecot.conf file: disable_plaintext_auth = no mail_privileged_group = mail mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u userdb { driver = passwd } This seems to have worked for a lot of others using this tutorial but not for me. When I try to start dovecot, I am told that the section at userdb is an unknown section type. I've spent the last few hours on Google searching this out and I've gotten conflicting answers that don't make sense. Is this the proper way to use the userdb directive? For information, I've also tried userdb{ driver = passwd-file } and that didn't work either. So I'm assuming that perhaps userdb is deprecated somehow but I don't know what to replace it with. Can someone point me in the right direction? Many Thanks! CypherPunk [1] https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-set-up-a-postfix-e-m…

[Dovecot] Debian Wheezy-Backports - Dovecot (1:2.2.9-1~bpo70+1) missing xz compression support?
by T.B. 05 Feb '14

05 Feb '14

Hallo Everyone, since some days a new dovecot version is available in Debian "wheezy-backports": (1:2.2.9-1~bpo70+1) wheezy-backports As described in http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Zlib and http://www.dovecot.org/doc/NEWS-2.2 "xz"-compression is available since Dovecot version 2.2.9. Today I tried to convert my mailboxes with the new xz compression. Therfore I changed my config as follows: /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf: # Space separated list of plugins to load for all services. Plugins specific to IMAP, LDA, etc. are added to this list in their own .conf files. mail_plugins = zlib acl fts fts_solr /etc/dovecot/conf.d/90-plugin.conf: # Enable these only if you want compression while saving: zlib_save_level = 9 # 1..9 zlib_save = xz # gz or bz2 or xy Now I tried to convert my mailboxes - but somehow, something goes wrong: root@SERVER:/# dovecot --version 2.2.9 root@SERVER:/# dsync mirror mdbox:/srv/converted_vmail/ doveadm(root): Error: zlib_save: Support not compiled in for handler: xz dsync(root): Error: zlib_save: Support not compiled in for handler: xz Where is the failure? Did the packet maintainer forget to activate xz? I can't find anything xz related in the debian package changelog: http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs//main/d/dovecot/dovecot_2.… Should I contact the Debian packet maintainer? http://packages.qa.debian.org/d/dovecot.html Best regards T.B.

[Dovecot] How to archive mails on different server
by Anant Saraswat 05 Feb '14

05 Feb '14

Hi Guys, I want to make some new changes to my exim mail server So if any user archive his/her mail they will save on any other server not on Exim server , and whenever user want to search for any old mail he will go to archive folder and can search it from there.... So basically i want to setup a diffrent server for archiving and want to connect it to my Exim server. So whevever user archive his/her mail it will autometically save to diffrent server. So is it possible using any plugin , or something else . I am using Roundcube,Exim 4.72, Dovecot(LMTP). Regards, Anant Saraswat

Hi there, I've started work on a side project that I've been long wanting to do; better HTML archives of email. https://github.com/kaihendry/imap2json I'm just designing the JSON schema atm, and I thought it would be good to get your feedback (Esp Timo) before I make a horrible mistake. https://github.com/kaihendry/imap2json/blob/master/JSON-design.mdwn Is it a good idea to base the id of a converation by the sha1sum of the first message for example? Any other tips or words of encouragement would be great. Kind regards,

[Dovecot] Applying a DNS RBL to deny authentication?
by Marc Perkel 05 Feb '14

05 Feb '14

Hope to get some attention about this idea to reduce hacking passwords. Here is a list of about 700,000 IP addresses that are hacking passwords through SMTP AUTH http://ipadmin.junkemailfilter.com/auth-hack.txt This is a list of IP addresses that attempted to authenticate against my fake AUTH advertizing on servers with no authentication. We do front end spam filtering for thousands of domains and I decided to advertize authentication where there is none and I accept and blackhole all authenticated email to those servers. I have harvested the IP addresses in this list that is available through an RBL. It seems to me that a nice dovecot feature would be the ability to do a black list check against IP addresses connecting and deny access if listed. Thoughts?

[Dovecot] dsync backup; compressed to uncompressed
by Michael Smith (DF) 05 Feb '14

05 Feb '14

I need to backup some of the mailboxes on our system. We are currently using mdbox with zlib compression plugin. The backups need to be maildir without compression. How can I accomplish this using dsync? The following just causes each msg file in maildir to be compressed as well. dsync -f -u user1 backup maildir:/var/tmp/user1 While this just causes the dsync to fail while spewing a bunch of errors because it can no longer read the compressed mdbox files. dsync -f -u user1 -o mail_plugins= backup maildir:/var/tmp/user1 # doveconf -n # 2.2.4: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-279.19.1.el6.x86_64 x86_64 CentOS release 6.3 (Final) auth_debug = yes auth_debug_passwords = yes auth_default_realm = domain1.net auth_master_user_separator = * auth_mechanisms = plain login auth_verbose = yes auth_verbose_passwords = plain debug_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-debug.log disable_plaintext_auth = no dotlock_use_excl = no lda_mailbox_autocreate = yes lock_method = dotlock mail_access_groups = mail mail_debug = yes mail_fsync = always mail_location = mdbox:~/mail:INDEX=~/index mail_plugins = quota zlib mail_privileged_group = mail 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 mbox_read_locks = dotlock mbox_write_locks = dotlock mdbox_rotate_interval = 1 weeks mdbox_rotate_size = 20 M mmap_disable = yes namespace { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { auto = subscribe special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { auto = subscribe special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { auto = subscribe special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { auto = subscribe special_use = \Trash } prefix = separator = / type = private } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql-master.conf.ext driver = sql master = yes pass = yes } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } plugin { autosubscribe = Trash autosubscribe2 = Junk autosubscribe3 = Drafts autosubscribe4 = Sent autosubscribe5 = INBOX mail_max_userip_connections = 10 managesieve_max_line_length = 65536 quota = dict:User quota::file:%h/dovecot.quota quota2_rule = Trash:storage=+10%% quota3_rule = Junk:storage=+20%% quota_rule = *:storage=100M:messages=100000 recipient_delimiter = + sieve_before = /var/opt/mail/global.sieve/ zlib_save = gz zlib_save_level = 9 } pop3_reuse_xuidl = yes protocols = imap pop3 sieve lmtp service auth { inet_listener auth { port = 113 } unix_listener auth-userdb { user = nobody } } service lmtp { inet_listener lmtp { port = 24 } process_min_avail = 10 service_count = 1 } service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve { port = 4190 } process_min_avail = 0 service_count = 1 vsz_limit = 64 M } ssl = no ssl_cert = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } protocol lda { mail_plugins = quota zlib sieve } protocol imap { mail_plugins = quota zlib imap_quota } protocol sieve { mail_max_userip_connections = 10 mail_plugins = quota zlib managesieve_max_line_length = 65536 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 } protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = quota zlib sieve }

[Dovecot] BLF-CRYPT passwords
by KT Walrus 04 Feb '14

04 Feb '14

I’m using the Dovecot Enterprise Edition on Centos 6.5, but Blowfish password hashes don’t seem to work. What can I do to enable Blowfish hashes for passwords? Maybe I don’t have my installation configured properly? Note that I really want to use the existing Blowfish hashes in my MySQL database for Dovecot Authentication. The hashes are generated by PHP crypt() that has Blowfish support built-in. I looked at PHP’s sources, and PHP uses crypt_blowfish.c from http://www.openwall.com/crypt/. This code is in the public domain and could easily be used by Dovecot to support Blowfish passwords on all platforms (if Dovecot doesn’t already support Blowfish on all platforms). Kevin

[Dovecot] mail_log_events, but who exactly triggered events?
by Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz 04 Feb '14

04 Feb '14

Hi. mail_log_events is nice addition but how to log who exactly triggered particular event? For example 5 users from 5 IP addresses uses single imap user/mailbox. One of them deletes email and I'm logging delete related events. The only logged thing is: dovecot: imap(user): delete: box=INBOX, uid=673287, msgid=<some@thing>, size=1230 which tells me nothing about who triggered it actually (note all 5 users were logged in at deletion time) How to solve this problem? Thanks, -- Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz, arekm / maven.pl

[Dovecot] zlib unexpected EOF
by Anand Kumria 04 Feb '14

04 Feb '14

Hi, I am seeing occasional log entries like: Feb 4 06:20:01 mail1 dovecot: imap(user(a)example.com): Error: read(<imap client>) failed: zlib.read(<imap client>): unexpected EOF at 894774 Feb 4 06:20:01 mail1 dovecot: imap(user(a)example.com): Disconnected in APPEND (1 msgs, 201 secs, 0/5180550 bytes) in=894774 out=643701 I've been able to correlate this to users - using Thunderbird - complaining that they have been unable to "send email". Is the problem on the Dovecot side, their side or something else? If on the Dovecot any pointers and what I should look at? Thanks, Anand

[Dovecot] Dovecot2 + Quota
by drum.lucas＠gmail.com 04 Feb '14

Hello! I need to configure Quota on Roundcubemail with Dovecot2. So, I did: 90-quota.conf: # SQL backend: quota = dict:User quota::proxy::sqlquota quota_rule = *:storage=20M:messages=1000 } dict { sqlquota = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext } OK, works! but, My webmail shows me 20M of quota. But on my Postfixadmin I configured 200M. How can I fix this? Att; *Lucas Possamai* http://about.me/lucaspossamai https://www.digitalocean.com/?refcode=25021cb7dbdf

[Dovecot] Assertion failed with imapc after upgrading Dovecot from 2.1.7 to 2.2.9
by Sylvain 29 Jan '14

29 Jan '14

Hi ! I have an old Courier IMAP and in front of it, I have put a proxy cache with Dovecot/imapc. I use Debian Wheezy (stable) which package Dovecot in version 2.1.7. I have tested the upgrade to Debian Jessie (testing) which package Dovecot in version 2.2.9 but an assertion is thrown : dovecot: imap(xxx): Panic: file imapc-list.c: line 499 (imapc_list_delete_unused_indexes): assertion failed: (strncmp(vname, fs_list->ns->prefix, fs_list->ns->prefix_len) == 0) I have checked source code and have seen that if *imapc_list_prefix* is not set, assertion will not be "walked". It's works but special inbox aren't detected correctly in email clients. If I understand the meaning of *vname* variable, it is because our Courier IMAP send us "INBOX" which is the value of my *imapc_list_prefix* and thus, assertion is thrown.

[Dovecot] Shared mailbox ACL
by Alex Ferrara 29 Jan '14

29 Jan '14

Hi everyone, I am having some trouble with shared folders in trying to replicate how we use them with a Cyrus backend. The auth database is Samba4 active directory, so I am using an LDAP lookup to authenticate and forcing the UID and GID to be all the same. I have a post-login script that sets the group ACL, and this seems to be working fine. /mnt/mail is an NFS mount to a FreeNAS machine, and there is only one Dovecot server connecting to that NFS share. I have been able to get the inbox of the shared mailbox to appear in Thunderbird, but I would like to allow all subfolders to have the same ACLs. Is there a way to do this without having an ACL entry for each folder in the dovecot-acl file? I also cannot seem to create folders under the shared inbox. Thanks. Below is the output of /mnt/mail/acl/shared-mailboxes shared/shared-boxes/group/accounting/accounting 1 shared/shared-boxes/group/team1/team1 1 shared/shared-boxes/group/team2/team2 1 Below is the output of dovecot -n # 2.1.7: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-22-pve x86_64 Debian 7.3 nfs auth_mechanisms = plain login auth_username_format = %n mail_debug = yes mail_location = maildir:/mnt/mail/mailboxes/%n/Maildir:INDEX=/var/local/dovecot-indexes/%n mail_plugins = acl mail_shared_explicit_inbox = no 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 namespace { list = yes location = maildir:/mnt/mail/mailboxes/%%n/Maildir:INDEX=/var/local/dovecot-shared/%%n prefix = ZGroup/%%n/ separator = / subscriptions = no type = shared } 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 = separator = / type = private } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext driver = ldap } plugin { acl = vfile acl_defaults_from_inbox = yes acl_shared_dict = file:/mnt/mail/acl/shared-mailboxes sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve } protocols = " imap lmtp sieve" service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } } service imap-postlogin { executable = script-login /usr/local/bin/postlogin.py user = vmail } service imap { executable = imap imap-postlogin } service lmtp { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { group = postfix mode = 0600 user = postfix } user = vmail } ssl_cert = </etc/dovecot/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext driver = ldap } protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = quota sieve } protocol lda { mail_plugins = quota sieve } protocol imap { mail_plugins = acl imap_acl }

Oh yes, that's right. I confused maildir format with sendmail queue files that separates header and body. There is still some similarlity for mass mailouts to the same mail domain: they will have almost identical headers +/- message IDs and a few bytes here and there, but as you say, SiS is the way to go for deduping bulky message attachments.

[Dovecot] recipient_delimiter -- feature request
by Andrew Ray 29 Jan '14

29 Jan '14

Hi, It would be nice if the recipient_delimiter configuration option supported multiple recipient delimiters as Postfix now does. e.g. now if I set: recipient_delimiter = +- in Postfix, then test-extension(a)sample.com and test+extension(a)sample.com are both recognized. But if I set: recipient_delimiter = +- in Dovecot, neither of the above are recognized and instead test+-extension(a)sample.com is valid. Well, presently this feature isn't that important to me, but I imagine it could be a source of confusion for people who are migrating from say qmail to postfix (as I am doing) and notice Postfix's cool ability to support both types of delimiters and assume Dovecot will as well (as I did).

[Dovecot] post-login scripting failing with "denied access to user" v2.1.7
by Frank 29 Jan '14

29 Jan '14

I am trying to have a default sieve rule for new mailboxes that can be edited by users using the round cube sieve plugin. It would actually be better executed when a new user is created but my postfixadmin runs on a separate machine so that's a bit tricky. The "sieve-default =" setting won't quite achieve what I want as I want users to be able to edit the default rule (to adjust SPAM level) Mail works fine before I add my post-login script to 10-master.conf ---------------------- service imap { # tell imap to do post-login lookup using a socket called "imap-postlogin" executable = imap imap-postlogin } service imap-postlogin { # all post-login scripts are executed via script-login binary executable = script-login /etc/dovecot/custom_sieve/postlogin.sh # the script process runs as the user specified here (v2.0.14+): user = mail # also tried $default_internal_user and root # this UNIX socket listener must use the same name as given to imap executable unix_listener imap-postlogin { } } After adding this setting, login fails and gives the error below. It certainly looks like a permission issue, but I have checked my script is executable and owned by vmail:vmail. The bash script executes fine as the mail user. The other possibility is that dovecot is denying access to the $HOME variable, but that seems unlikely. Nevertheless, I am stuck!

Just a guess, but I expect the difference is because NetApp de-dupes by checksumming blocks and mark whole blocks as duplicates if they have the same checksum. The message body has the same block offset in maildir (i.e. the start of a message is at byte 0), whereas mdbox might align message body anywhere in a block, so you might have 512 different block configurations for the same message. I don't know whether message alignment would be a worthwhile optimization for mdbox. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

Everything costs less than a NetApp...except an EMC. > If anyone has any first-hand experience (or even > off-the-top-of-their-head thoughts), I'd love to hear them) Distributed filesystems give you the advantage of a single filesystem namespace with massive amounts of storage, fairly easy addition of storage space, and distributed replication to allow failure of a storage node without service interruption. Replication mitigates node failure, but not disk failure, so you still need RAID in each node. So you have RAID6 in a node and filesystem block mirroring amongst nodes. Thus storage utilization is -worse- than direct attach, CFS on SAN, or NFS head attached RAID10 and far worse than RAID6 in these 3 setups. And if using large SSD cache you'd surely use RAID6 with DAS, CFS, or NFS. You'd need half as many disk drives vs DFS. Each DFS expansion, assuming the typical model, entails the cost of a server, RAID HBA (unless using md) and disks, not strictly buying disks as with DAS, CFS/SAN, or NFS filer. Then you also need more switch ports, more power connections, greater UPS capacity due to all the CPUs, RAM, etc in the nodes. And you'll have a higher electric bill. So while a distributed filesystem storage architecture may seem less expensive it may not be. And just as one can build a DIY DFS cluster, one can also build a DIY NFS cluster instead of buying a NetApp, saving significant cash on the front end box and on disks since you'd need half as many vs a distributed filesystem architecture, though failure of one node may not be quite as graceful as with a NetApp losing a controller board. -- Stan

[Dovecot] Replication - what am I doing wrong?
by IT geek 31 27 Jan '14

27 Jan '14

Hi, I'm having issues getting replication working, and I'm not also not having much luck finding help on it. So I'm wondering... am I not asking the right questions? Or am I not providing enough information... or do we just not know how this aspect of the technology works? If it's the former, then any pointers on what questions to ask or information to provide would be very helpful. If the community genuinely doesn't know how this works then that's okay too - I will look at another solution (if one exists) and try to move on. But if I can get this working then that would be amazing as I really like Dovecot and would be gutted to move away from it. -Mark

[Dovecot] dovecot produces messages dupes after nfs problems
by Patrick Westenberg 25 Jan '14

25 Jan '14

Hi everyone, some days ago I had trouble with my NFS-Server (high delays) which caused dovecot lmtp to deliver the same message several times (up to 10x). I recognized some old/unused .nfsXXXX files in the maildirs which seemed to be index files. I deleted them and everything was fine again. However, there are still 2-3 mailboxen where mails (old and new ones) are delivered multiple times. All duplicates have no "received from" headers. Seperate lmtp log shows only one delivery. Any hint or advice what might be wrong?

[Dovecot] Architecture for large Dovecot cluster
by Murray Trainer 25 Jan '14

25 Jan '14

Hi All, I am trying to determine whether a mail server cluster based on Dovecot will be capable of supporting 500,000+ mailboxes with about 50,000 IMAP and 5000 active POP3 connections. I have looked at the Dovecot clustering suggestions here: http://blog.dovecot.org/2012/02/dovecot-clustering-with-dsync-based.html and some other Dovecot mailing list threads but I am not sure how many users such a setup will handle. I have a concern about the I/O performance of NFS in the suggested architecture above. One possible option available to us is to split up the mailboxes over multiple clusters with subsets of domains. Is there anyone out there currently running this many users on a Dovecot based mail cluster? Some suggestions or advice on the best way to go would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Murray

[Dovecot] Dovecot imap-postlogin failed
by Sayajin 24 Jan '14

24 Jan '14

*** This is 2 posts combined into one which I had asked on linuxquestions.org and never got an answer *** Hi, In short I am trying to run a bash script which will then update a mysql database with the last login date/time & last IP for each mailbox. I have searched google dead but still cant figure out what im doing wrong or if there is some issue with the centos 6 rpm's for dovecot. -- - 1st i had the default dovecot in the centos 6 repo's which is version: 2.0.9 - I read that there was an issue with the script-login binary which was fixed in version 2.0.14, so i updated dovecot to version 2.2.7. - This sadly did not fix my issue with the bash script excecuting. In my /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf i have the following service imap { executable = imap imap-postlogin } service imap-postlogin { executable = script-login /var/www/lighttpd/mail-admin/scripts/lastLogin.sh } But when i try login i still get the same error as with the previous version: - Nov 27 14:44:36 dovecot: imap(MaIlBoX(a)DoMaIn.co.za): Error: net_connect_unix(/var/run/dovecot/imap-postlogin) failed: No such file or directory - One thing i did notice on the one site was that someone had a ls of their /var/run/dovecot directory, and in there was a binary called imap-postlogin. - But i dont have that binary anywhere on my server, with the old or new version of dovecot. Please any help would be appreciated. ===================================================== ===================================================== Ok well i tried a few other things and got it working a bit more. So the variables that i needed are now being set correctly etc, but im getting authentication errors now which I was not before. my setup in 10-master.conf now looks like the following: service imap-postlogin { executable = script-login /var/www/lighttpd/mail-admin/scripts/lastLogin.sh unix_listener imap-postlogin { user = root } } service imap { executable = imap imap-postlogin } My lastLogin.sh bash script has the following in it for debugging echo "$(date +%Y.%m.%d-%H:%M:%S)"; echo "User: ${USER}" >> /tmp/tracking.log 2>&1; echo "Home: ${HOME}" >> /tmp/tracking.log 2>&1; echo "Client IP: ${IP}" >> /tmp/tracking.log 2>&1; echo "Server IP: ${LOCAL_IP}" >> /tmp/tracking.log 2>&1; The output to my /tmp/tracker.log is the following User: user(a)domain.com Home: /var/spool/mail/domain.com/user Client IP: x.x.x.x Server IP: y.y.y.y The Authentication Error I am getting now dovecot: auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libdriver_mysql.so dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libdriver_pgsql.so dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libdriver_sqlite.so dovecot: auth: Debug: Read auth token secret from /var/run/dovecot//auth-token-secret.dat dovecot: auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=25865) dovecot: auth: Debug: client in: AUTH#0111#011PLAIN#011service=imap#011secured#011session=VPOQpNvsPwDELro2#011lip=X.X.X.X#011rip=Y.Y.

[Dovecot] Writing an FTS plugin
by John Morrissey 23 Jan '14

23 Jan '14

Hi, I'm having some trouble writing an FTS plugin that uses notmuch (http://notmuchmail.org/) as the backend. As a proof of concept, I'm adding a hardcoded UID to the search results in the plugin's lookup handler: seq_range_array_add(&result->definite_uids, 1, 42); but this UID is never returned by IMAP SEARCH commands. I know the plugin is being used, since I'm also syslogging immediately before the call to seq_range_array_add(). Interestingly, SEARCH commands return correct results (based on the mailbox content and the search terms specified), but I'm not sure where those results are coming from. The notmuch plugin is the only configured FTS plugin: mail_plugins = $mail_plugins fts fts_notmuch plugin { fts = notmuch } What might I be doing wrong? Additionally, notmuch returns message filenames, which I'll need to translate to UIDs. I've seen maildir_uidlist_get_uid(), but I'm not sure where to get the struct maildir_uidlist arg it needs. notmuch only supports the Maildir format, so using a maildir_* function seems a reasonably safe assumption, but is there a better way? john -- John Morrissey _o /\ ---- __o jwm(a)horde.net _-< \_ / \ ---- < \, www.horde.net/ __(_)/_(_)________/ \_______(_) /_(_)__

[Dovecot] Problem with LDA. When vacation auto-reply sent, the field from=<>.
by Dmitry 23 Jan '14

23 Jan '14

Hi, My problem is that when vacation auto-reply sent the field from=<> Because of this does not work "sender_dependent_relayhost_maps" in postfix. My scheme is: There are several postfix on different machines 1.1.1.1 - domain1 2.2.2.2 - domain2 3.3.3.3 - domain3 All they send messages to one server virtual_transport = lmtp:10.10.10.10:24 where mail is stored. In 10.10.10.10 installed dovecot 2.2.9, dovecot-pigeonhole 0.4.2 and another posfix In postfix inet_interfaces = 10.10.10.10 sender_dependent_relayhost_maps = hash:$config_directory/relayhost_maps relayhost_maps @domain1 [1.1.1.1] @domain2 [2.2.2.2] @domain3 [3.3.3.3] Sieve script make from Roundcube require ["vacation"]; # rule:[autoreply] if true { vacation :days 1 :subject "Test." "Test."; } (if add [":from" string] nothing changes) The letter comes, script fulfills, vacation auto-reply sent. But either /usr/sbin/sendmail -i -f <> -- user@senddomain or, if write in 15-lda.conf submission_host = 10.10.10.10:25 postfix log Jan 1 00:00:00 mail pf-OUT/cleanup[6098]: 4CD104A8A4: message-id=<dovecot-sieve-1390316174-295666-0@mail> Jan 1 00:00:00 mail pf-OUT/qmgr[5950]: 4CD104A8A4: from=<>, size=693, nrcpt=1 (queue active) How to make dovecot and dovecot-pigeonhole write in field MAIL FROM:?

[Dovecot] IDLE dropping EXISTS events on mass message arrival
by Eric Wong 22 Jan '14

22 Jan '14

Hi, I'm not sure if this is some throttling/DoS protection or a bug. I didn't see notice anything like it mentioned looking at the NEWS file from hg, this is on 2.1.7 on Debian stable. I have a client doing IDLE on INBOX.vomiteer. When individual messages arrive with some time interval in between them, I get EXISTS events for each message as expected. However, when I store a bunch of messages at once (via tag + mass copy in mutt on a fast-ish connection), I get a few EXISTS events (sometimes one, sometimes two) even though I copied a lot of new messages over. I expected to get an EXISTS event for each message which arrived, but perhaps there's some sort of DoS/throttling mechanism. strace -t -s4096 output of the dovecot process below: fd=13 is inotify, you'll see large read(13, ... indicating multiple filenames from inotify. However, only one EXISTS message got written to the socket. I've filtered out the gettimeofday syscalls for brevity. 07:30:02 epoll_wait(9, {}, 6, 3937) = 0 07:30:06 stat64("/home/ew/.maildir/.INBOX.vomiteer/cur", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0700, st_size=12288, ...}) = 0 07:30:06 stat64("/home/ew/.maildir/.INBOX.vomiteer/new", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0700, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 07:30:06 stat64("/home/ew/.maildir/.INBOX.vomiteer/new", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0700, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 07:30:06 stat64("/home/ew/.maildir/.INBOX.vomiteer/cur", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0700, st_size=12288, ...}) = 0 07:30:06 stat64("/home/ew/.maildir/.INBOX.vomiteer/dovecot.index.log", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0600, st_size=25920, ...}) = 0 07:30:06 fstat64(10, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0600, st_size=25920, ...}) = 0 07:30:06 epoll_wait(9, {}, 6, 7865) = 0 07:30:14 setsockopt(11, SOL_TCP, TCP_CORK, [1], 4) = 0 07:30:14 write(11, "* OK Still here\r\n", 17) = 17 07:30:14 setsockopt(11, SOL_TCP, TCP_CORK, [0], 4) = 0 07:30:14 time(NULL) = 1390289414 07:30:14 epoll_wait(9, {{EPOLLIN, {u32=4159555408, u64=4159555408}}}, 6, 22124) = 1 07:30:17 read(13, "\2\0\0\0\200\0\0\0\t\365\r\0000\0\0\0001390289417.M94623P14841.dcvr,S=1580,W=1619:2,S\0\0\2\0\0\0\200\0\0\0\n\365\r\0000\0\0\0001390289417.M94624P14841.dcvr,S=1580,W=1619:2,S\0\0\2\0\0\0\200\0\0\0\v\365\r\0000\0\0\0001390289417.M94625P14841.dcvr,S=1422,W=1460:2,S\0\0\2\0\0\0\200\0\0\0\f\365\r\0000\0\0\0001390289417.M94626P14841.dcvr,S=1422,W=1460:2,S\0\0\2\0\0\0\200\0\0\0\r\365\r\0000\0\0\0001390289417.M94627P14841.dcvr,S=1861,W=1907:2,S\0\0\2\0\0\0\200\0\0\0\16\365\r\0000\0\0\0001390289417.M94628P14841.dcvr,S=1861,W=1907:2,S\0\0\2\0\0\0\200\0\0\0\17\365\r\0000\0\0\0001390289417.M94629P14841.dcvr,S=4732,W=4854:2,S\0\0\2\0\0\0\200\0\0\0\20\365\r\0000\0\0\0001390289417.M94630P14841.dcvr,S=4732,W=4854:2,S\0\0\2\0\0\0\200\0\0\0\21\365\r\0000\0\0\0001390289417.M94631P14841.dcvr,S=4028,W=4128:2,S\0\0\2\0\0\0\200\0\0\0\22\365\r\0000\0\0\0001390289417.M94632P14841.dcvr,S=4028,W=4128:2,S\0\0\2\0\0\0\200\0\0\0\23\365\r\0000\0\0\0001390289417.M94633P14841.dcvr,S=3865,W=3968:2,S\0\0\2\0\0\0\200\0\0\0\24\365\r\0000\0\0\0001390289417.M94634P14841.dcvr,S=3865,W=3968:2,S\0\0", 32768) = 768 07:30:17 epoll_wait(9, {{EPOLLIN, {u32=4159555408, u64=4159555408}}}, 6, 499) = 1 07:30:17 read(13, "\2\0\0\0\200\0\0\0\25\365\r\0000\0\0\0001390289417.M94635P14841.dcvr,S=4092,W=4189:2,S\0\0\2\0\0\0\200\0\0\0\26\365\r\0000\0\0\0001390289417.M94636P14841.dcvr,S=4092,W=4189:2,S\0\0\2\0\0\0\200\0\0\0\27\365\r\0000\0\0\0001390289417.M94637P14841.dcvr,S=1517,W=1552:2,S\0\0\2\0\0\0\200\0\0\0\30\365\r\0000\0\0\0001390289417.M94638P14841.dcvr,S=1517,W=1552:2,S\0\0", 32768) = 256 07:30:17 epoll_wait(9, {}, 6, 498) = 0 07:30:17 stat64("/home/ew/.maildir/.INBOX.vomiteer/new", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0700, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 07:30:17 stat64("/home/ew/.maildir/.INBOX.vomiteer/cur", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0700, st_size=12288, ...}) = 0 07:30:17 stat64("/home/ew/.maildir/.INBOX.vomiteer/dovecot.index.log", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0600, st_size=26328, ...}) = 0 07:30:17 fstat64(10, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0600, st_size=26328, ...}) = 0 07:30:17 pread64(10, "\200\200\200\207@\0\0\20\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0$\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\1\0\0\0\200\200\200\214\0\1\0\20\0\0$\0\337!\336R\344\231\2L\0\0\0\0\t\"\336R\t\"\336R\0\0\0\0\t\"\336R\0\0\0\0007\n\0\0\200\200\200\204 \0\0\20@\0\4\0\234e\0\0\200\200\200\242\2\0\0\20\317\0\0\0\10\0\0\0\320\0\0\0\10\0\0\0\321\0\0\0\10\0\0\0\322\0\0\0\10\0\0\0\323\0\0\0\10\0\0\0\324\0\0\0\10\0\0\0\325\0\0\0\10\0\0\0\326\0\0\0\10\0\0\0\327\0\0\0\10\0\0\0\330\0\0\0\10\0\0\0\331\0\0\0\10\0\0\0\332\0\0\0\10\0\0\0\333\0\0\0\10\0\0\0\334\0\0\0\10\0\0\0\335\0\0\0\10\0\0\0\336\0\0\0\10\0\0\0\200\200\200\207@\0\0\20\1\0\0\0\0\260\2L\0\0\0\0\4\0\4\0\1\0\0\0\200\200\200\242\0\2\0\20\317\0\0\0\250\275\0\0\320\0\0\0\234\277\0\0\321\0\0\0|\301\0\0\322\0\0\0|\304\0\0\323\0\0\0\200\307\0\0\324\0\0\0|\312\0\0\325\0\0\0h\315\0\0\326\0\0\0\\\320\0\0\327\0\0\0\224\323\0\0\330\0\0\0\210\325\0\0\331\0\0\0h\327\0\0\332\0\0\0h\332\0\0\333\0\0\0l\335\0\0\334\0\0\0h\340\0\0\335\0\0\0T\343\0\0\336\0\0\0H\346\0\0\200\200\200\204 \0\0\0200\0\4\0\337\0\0\0", 8192, 25920) = 408 07:30:17 pread64(10, "", 8192, 26328) = 0 07:30:17 stat64("/home/ew/.maildir/.INBOX.vomiteer/dovecot.index.log", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0600, st_size=26328, ...}) = 0 07:30:17 fstat64(10, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0600, st_size=26328, ...}) = 0 07:30:17 time(NULL) = 1390289417 07:30:17 setsockopt(11, SOL_TCP, TCP_CORK, [1], 4) = 0 07:30:17 write(11, "* 32 EXISTS\r\n", 13) = 13 07:30:17 setsockopt(11, SOL_TCP, TCP_CORK, [0], 4) = 0 07:30:17 epoll_wait(9, <unfinished ...> (Nothing happened after this) #

This is probably easy but how would a set a secret static master password so that if I typed it in for any login it would be happy? I can't use the * separator method in this case because it screws up squirrelmail.

[Dovecot] Failure in doveconf
by Andrew Ray 21 Jan '14

21 Jan '14

I ran into a problem while configuring dovecot. Quickly reading the paragraph below, I saw "yes" as one of the options, and put that into the config, as below: # In case of password mismatches, log the attempted password. Valid values are # no, plain and sha1. sha1 can be useful for detecting brute force password # attempts vs. user simply trying the same password over and over again. # You can also truncate the value to n chars by appending ":n" (e.g. sha1:6). auth_verbose_passwords = yes The result from doveconf -n was: doveconf: Error: x�η doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf: 0pη (where the error message was always a changing, apparently random set of characters.) So I managed, by going back through the config file and commenting out options, to find this was the problem and then finally read what are the acceptable values. Any other place that I have tried to give a non acceptable value I get a reasonable error message with line number and problem. Well, now I fixed my original problem, but something needs to be adjusted in the error handling code.

[Dovecot] forwarded message is broken in 2.2.10 with pigeonhole-0.4.2
by Burckhard Schmidt 21 Jan '14

21 Jan '14

Hi, forwarding a message with sieve like redirect:copy "me(a)other.domain"; was working without any problem until dovecot-2.1.17, dovecots lmtp and dovecot-2.1-pigeonhole-0.3.5. Using dovecot-2.2.10 , dovecots lmtp and dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.2 the structure of a forwarded message is broken. Content of a message is not displayed or an attachment (for instance pdf) can not be opened by (different) clients. Writing a html mail or plain one makes no different. I have compared two messages and the main different is a missing Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="...." to encapsulate the body of the forwarded message. Was it lost in sieve?

[Dovecot] Dovecot doesn't seem to report all subfolders to Thunderbird
by dovecot＠voidptr.de 21 Jan '14

21 Jan '14

Hi, I've recently migrated my emails from a Yahoo account to my own mailserver on a VPS. Ever since then, Thunderbird seems to have issues with the mailbox's directory structure: When I start Thunderbird, it immediately deletes the local copies of all 3rd-level folders (i.e. subfolders of a subfolder of a folder in the mailbox root). Since that didn't happen with the Yahoo account, I assume it's some kind of error or misconfiguration of Dovecot. Here's an example of the mailbox structure: voidptr.de '-> University '-> IEEE '-> Conference "University" and "IEEE" work without problems, but "Conference" gets deleted locally every time I start Thunderbird. When I collapse and re-expand "University" in the folder panel, all subfolders (including "Conference") reappear, but Thunderbird has to re-download the contents of "Conference", since it deleted the local copies earlier. It looks as if Dovecot only reported the topmost two folder levels when Thunderbird requests a folder list... Is there any way I can change that behavior?

[Dovecot] A variable for the unix user or home path would be useful in some cases
by interfaSys sàrl 20 Jan '14

20 Jan '14

Hello, In our hosting environment, we let users share mailboxes across all their domains and think it's best if the shared mailbox listing (in a file) stays in their unix home path. That would be: /home/USER/imap/shared-mailboxes.db Unfortunately, it seems there is no way to generate that path using a variable. Something like this would be convenient: acl_shared_dict = file:%v/imap/shared-mailboxes.db Instead, we have to use something like this: acl_shared_dict = file:~/../../../shared-mailboxes.db which only works for virtual users. Did somebody solve this another way? Could we have the unix user or home path as a variable? Or could we have a modifier giving us the path or the unix user based on the unix UID? Cheers, Olivier

Re: [Dovecot] imap abort after upgrade from 2.2.4 to 2.2.7
by morrison 20 Jan '14

20 Jan '14

When I did upgrade, 2.2.7 was the latest release. When I ran into the problem, I checked back and found 2.2.8 and 2.2.9 were released shortly one after another. It seemed these releases were sort of buggy. I would like to know if what I described in my previous email was an known issue and was addressed before upgrade to 2.2.10. We are using dovecot as our internal mail service. So stable is most important to us. Regards,

by Sergey Urushkin 20 Jan '14

20 Jan '14

Hi, Just writing here my note about auth_default_realm, pam_krb5 and gssapi. It seems that 'pam' passdb and 'gssapi' auth_mechanism doesn't honor 'auth_default_realm' setting, at least in several setups I deal with. Here is a part of the config: passdb { args = max_requests=100 cache_key=%u%r dovecot driver = pam } auth_default_realm = REALM.COM auth_mechanisms = plain login apop gssapi auth_username_format = %Uu The problem is that pam_krb5 strips default realm from username (by default), even if auth_default_realm is specified and even if user logs in as 'user1(a)realm.com' (with domain part). A part of auth.log: mail auth: pam_krb5(dovecot:auth): user USER1 authenticated as USER1(a)REALM.COM The same for GSSAPI auth, if specified authorization name doesn't contain domain part. A part of mail.log: mail dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<USER1>, method=GSSAPI, rip=172.16.0.1, lip=192.168.1.1, mpid=5828, TLS, session=<bpzvRmDwPACsFwCX> For several reasons I do need username inside dovecot to contain domain part. So, I found a solution to this problem - modifying /etc/krb5.conf this way: [libdefaults] default_realm = REALM.COM [realms] REALM.COM = { auth_to_local = RULE:[1:$1@$0] } This will add realm part to the local username despite using default realm. Maybe it's better to put this example to the wiki? Tested with ubuntu 12.04 and dovecot 2.2.10, mit kerberos 1.10, amd64. Taking the opportunity, I'd like to ask, is there a way to make usernames case insensitive while using GSSAPI. The case: klist shows: Principal: user1(a)REALM.COM username in thunderbird 'uSer1(a)REALM.COM'. Dovecot gives me this message (I use auth_username_format=%Uu for pam_krb5 to be able to login with lowercase realm): dovecot: auth: gssapi(USER1(a)REALM.COM,172.16.0.1,<IIgwMGbw3ACsFgA4>): User not authorized to log in as USER1(a)REALM.COM As I know kerberos usernames are case insensitive (user part), at least kinit and windows against AD works that way. Seems that k5credentials passdb extra field will not help here too. Does anyone have an idea? Thanks. -- Best regards, Sergey Urushkin

[Dovecot] Shared Folters with LDA/Sieve
by Dieter Knopf 19 Jan '14

19 Jan '14

Hello, i'm searching for a way to use Shared mailboxes with Sieve Filtering. I need global email addresses like: info(a)foo.tld contact(a)foo.tld help(a)foo.tld Every address with own Sieve-rules for filtering and sorting of incoming mails. Now every user needs access to this folders, but how? How should i create the "global" addresses? I already found http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Public , but that's just a public namespace. Is there any FAQ available for this? Thank you very much Dieter

[Dovecot] Sizing MTA servers
by Murray Trainer 18 Jan '14

18 Jan '14

Hi All, This is probably a bit off-topic but does anyone have any idea about sizing MTA servers. We have about 200,000 emails/hr incoming and outgoing. I am intending using Exim and Spamassassin on each MTA. How many servers using recent hardware would I need to cope with this mail throughput? What is more important on the servers, CPU or RAM? Should I have mail going both directions on each server or dedicate a pair each for incoming and outgoing mail> Thanks for any feedback. Murray

[Dovecot] doveconf base_dir
by Andreas Schulze 18 Jan '14

18 Jan '14

Hello, today I run the command "doveadm auth cache flush" for the first time. # doveadm auth cache flush doveadm(root): Error: userdb lookup: connect(/var/run/dovecotauth-master) failed: No such file or directory 0 cache entries flushed # base_dir was the only item contain 'run' and it did not end with a / So I tried to set base_dir to /var/run/dovecot/ and could now rerun "doveadm auth cache flush" without problems. I compile dovecot from source and found --with-rundir=/var/run/dovecot as an option to configure. I changed to /var/run/dovecot/, recompile and removed the base_dir setting in dovecot.conf again. Now "doveadm auth cache flush" work out of the box. doveconf -d base_dir is var/run/dovecot/. Finaly I compiled dovecot with --localstatedir=/var and removed --with-rundir from configure. The resulting package had again base_dir = /var/run/dovecot so "doveadm auth cache flush" don't work. looks like somewhere the missing / should be added in case base_dir has no trailing / without special configuration.

[Dovecot] imap abort after upgrade from 2.2.4 to 2.2.7
by morrison 17 Jan '14

17 Jan '14

Hi, I used to use dovecot 2.2.4. I saw lots of warnings saying 'Extension header update points outside header size'. I upgraded to dovecot 2.2.7, based on the discussion in mail list. Now, I see lots of imap aborts around: src/lib-index/mail-index-transaction-export.c:203: i_assert(u32.offset + u32.size <= ext_hdr_size); I also noticed, in some mailbox, imap process kept abort until all index files in the mailbox were manually deleted. Did someone run into the same problem and any solution to this? Thanks,

[Dovecot] Changing user specific configs one at a time using userdb text file to override defaults...
by Charles Marcus 17 Jan '14

17 Jan '14

Hi all, Ok, I'm now interested in testing converting users one at a time to mdbox+SIS, but want to make sure I understand how to do this. It appears the best way - for smaller installations at least - is to just use a simple text file userdb to override the defaults, then once all of the users have been converted, change the defaults and remove the userdb txt file overrides. So, would love to hear details from others who have done something like this. Thx! -- Best regards, Charles

[Dovecot] Getting more out of the %w variable.
by Julian PG 17 Jan '14

17 Jan '14

Hello Dovecot community, I have a backend database application that handles all system wide user authentication (from web to mail and more). Passwords are not stored in plain text. So I would like to support more than PLAIN. Perhaps at least CRAM-MD5 or DIGEST-MD5 for example. Even though connections over TLS are encouraged (and even enforced). Some MUA and users still think its a better idea than PLAIN (even sent over an encrypted session). I have a vague memory of getting some warnings with thunderbird in regards to the use of PLAIN. Of course the %w variable would have to include the challenge as well as the response. Or perhaps even a seperate variable for the challenge? Or course at the moment the %w variable is an empty string for anything other than PLAIN. This would make some users and MUAs happy (even though pointless over TLS - I agree). Your thoughts would be appreciated. Regards, Julian. -- Not time for sigs!

[Dovecot] Received: header showing 127.0.0.1 after switch to dovecot LDA?
by Charles Marcus 16 Jan '14

16 Jan '14

Hi all, I'm guessing this is correct behavior, but wanted to make sure... I noticed that for locally delivered messages (between 2 local users inside our domain, so they never leave the server), the first Received: header line content changed after I switched to the dovecot LDA. Before, using postfix/virtual for delivery, the header looked like this: Received: from [192.168.1.25] (client.example.com [192.168.1.25]) by smtp.example.com (Postfix) with ESMTPSA id 67E33A20542; Wed, 6 Jun 2012 10:55:55 -0400 (EDT) But now it looks like this: Received: from [127.0.0.1] (client.example.com.com [192.168.1.14]) by smtp.example.com (Postfix) with ESMTPSA id 4EEF7802AF325 for <me(a)example.com>; Wed, 15 Jan 2014 18:29:17 -0500 (EST) so, 2 questions... 1. Why does it show 127.0.0.1 instead of the client IP, and 2. Why did postfix/virtual include the "for <me(a)example.com>;" but the dovecot LDA doesn't? Thanks, -- Best regards, Charles

Hi, I'm using Dovecot 2.2.9 to replicate my mailbox to a remote server. My mailbox on ServerA is 235Mb, but on ServerB it ends up being 358Mb. Does anyone know why this is?

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

16 Jan '14

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

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

15 Jan '14

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

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

15 Jan '14

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

[Dovecot] restored mails
by Wojciech Giel 15 Jan '14

Hello, I am running dovecot 2.1 on debian wheezy . We are using maildir format. one of our uses deleted content of INBOX folder during xmass. he wants these messages back. I had these mail on tape. I have restored them to his inbox/cur directory but dovecot is not indexing them. Email client shows empty inbox as well. tried manually run: doveadm index -u john -q INBOX no change. deleting indexes didn't help.

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

15 Jan '14

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

[Dovecot] dsync mbox to maildir migration does not delete, deleted e-mails
by A M 15 Jan '14

15 Jan '14

Hello, I am planning to migrate all users from mbox to maildir. I am trying to do it with minimum downtime. (~100GB data) All users are currently using POP3. Dovecot version is 2.2.10 (latest). Command used is: dsync -u username mirror maildir:~/Maildir Process I plan is: (omitting steps related to sendmail / procmail) 1) keep dovecot running (with mail_location as mbox) 2) dsync for all users (this may take 3-4 hours or more) 3) (downtime starts) stop dovecot and sendmail (to stop new e-mails) 4) block pop3, imap ports on firewall (so users can not connect) 5) start dovecot (still with mbox) 6) dsync again to sync e-mails arrived between step 2 and 3 7) dsync again (just to make sure!) 8) (downtime ends) restart dovecot (with mail_location as maildir) Now, here is my problem. Lets say there is user joe, who has 50 NEW e-mails in mbox (INBOX). Step 2 perfectly syncs his 50 e-mails to 'new' folder of maildir. Now in the mean time, before step 3, he connected via POP3 and downloaded and deleted 50 e-mails. Now when we reach step 6 (re-sync), what I expected was dsync will detect that 50 e-mails are deleted and it will delete 50 e-mails from 'new' directory of maildir. But that is not happening. 50 e-mails are still there. I fear that these e-mails will be re-downloaded on his Outlook once I switch dovecot to maildir. This will happen for each and every user which will cause huge mess. So how to tell, dsync to delete non-existent e-mails which are no more there in mbox (INBOX)? Thanks in advance, Regards, A M

[Dovecot] Dovecot service not responding after about a week of uptime
by Matthieu 15 Jan '14

15 Jan '14

Hello, I am running a dovecot 2.1.13 server and lately it stops responding after about a week of uptime. Simply restarting the dovecot service solves the issue. I tried to look a bit in my maillog file but did not find anything obvious. During the time when the server is not responding I can still see imap-login entries from the connection attempt by my email client. Any help about how to diagnose the problem would be appreciated. Thanks, Matthieu

[Dovecot] Dovecot LMTP does not pass envelope recipient +detail to sieve
by Greg Rivers 14 Jan '14

14 Jan '14

I found this[1] thread that describes the same problem with dovecot-LDA, but the solution (add X-Original-To: header) has no effect with LMTP. My sendmail LMTP configuration: FEATURE(`local_lmtp',`[IPC]',`FILE /var/run/dovecot/lmtp') Sendmail's address test indicates that sendmail is providing user+detail to LMTP (see below). Except for this problem, dovecot, LMTP, and sieve are all working perfectly. Is there something I'm missing, or is this a bug?

[Dovecot] Sieve - not functioning for additional email aliases.
by Jacek Osiecki 14 Jan '14

14 Jan '14

Hi, On one of my servers (old one, version 1.2.5) user reported that vacation message for basic address works fine, but not for the aliases. I know that this is an old version, but we can't simply switch them to the most current dovecot release without preparing and testing everything... So I'm rather asking for help with debugging the case :) This person has email my.name(a)olddomain.pl. However, they are switching to new domain - newdomain.pl - and it is becoming their main brand. So temporarily olddomain.pl is still their "home" domain, but there is a domain alias newdomain->olddomain. The sieve file is simple: forward message and reply with vacation: ---- require ["copy","vacation"]; # rule:[redirect] if anyof (true) { redirect :copy "my.boss(a)newdomain.pl"; vacation :days 1 :addresses ["my.name(a)olddomain.pl","my.name(a)newdomain.pl"] text: I'm unavailable now. Please contact my boss: my.boss(a)newdomain.pl Greetings . ; } ---- When I send email to my.name(a)olddomain.pl - it is sent to my.boss(a)newdomain.pl and I receive the vacation message. When I send it to the alias (my.name(a)newdomain.pl) - none of above is done. Any idea how I can debug it? Running test-sieve does not help - it claims that will simply forward and deliver the message... Greetings, -- Jacek Osiecki joshua(a)ceti.pl GG:3828944 I don't want something I need. I want something I want.

[Dovecot] dict ldap
by me＠electronico.nc 14 Jan '14

14 Jan '14

Hello everybody, Dovecot 2.2.6 with LDAP auth against AD (Samba4). I would like to know if it's possible to specify an LDAP transport for dict (something like dovecot-dict-ldap.conf.ext). I'm in need to setup shared mailboxes and if I could query LDAP, that would help a lot. IE : user1 user2 user3 are in OU=group1, so group1 (setup as user in AD) would share its mailbox with user1 user2 and user3. Thanks in advance for your time. Nicolas

[Dovecot] Slow authentication performance when switching folder
by ra＠rz.uni-frankfurt.de 13 Jan '14

13 Jan '14

Hello, we have a problem with Dovecot 2.2.9 running on an AIX 7.1 and compiled with xlc. At first we configured passdb to use our ldap directory via pam and experienced an Internal login failure like the following one Jan 13 16:20:02 imap-login: Info: Internal login failure (pid=29818948 id=1) (internal failure, 1 successful auths): user=<user>, method=PLAIN, rip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, lip=yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy, TLS, session=<r/P1m9vv5ACNAv6j> I read that this error occurs if the last passdb returns a continue and there is no other passdb to ask. We added two more passdb to rule out that pam is the problem. We added ldap directly and as third a fallback passwd file, but we still get the Internal login failure. As far as i can see this only occurs if i switch to another folder and i´m being reauthenticated. Are there any suggestions on what is going wrong? Any push in the right direction would be appreciated. kind regards Manuel PS: This is the dump of our dovecot configuration file: doveconf: Warning: service auth { client_limit=1000 } is lower than required under max. load (32768) doveconf: Warning: service anvil { client_limit=1000 } is lower than required under max. load (24579) # OS: AIX 1 00F7B83D4C00 auth_debug = yes auth_mechanisms = plain login auth_username_chars = abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ01234567890- auth_username_format = %n auth_username_translation = AaBbCcDdEeFfGgHhIiJjKkLlMmNnOoPpQqRrSsTtUuVvWwXxYyZz auth_verbose = yes base_dir = /var/run/dovecot-imap default_process_limit = 8192 disable_plaintext_auth = no first_valid_uid = 100 info_log_path = /mailbase/dovecot/2.2.9/log/dovecot_imap_debug.log log_path = /mailbase/dovecot/2.2.9/log/dovecot_imap.log login_greeting = University-Frankfurt-IMAP-Horde ready. mail_access_groups = mhs mail_debug = yes mail_fsync = never mail_location = mbox:~/:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u:INDEX=/var/mail-indexes/%u mailbox_idle_check_interval = 90 secs mbox_write_locks = fcntl namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = separator = / type = private name = } passdb { args = username_format=%u /mailbase/etc/passwd driver = passwd-file } passdb { args = %s driver = pam } plugin { stats_refresh = 30 secs stats_track_cmds = yes } service replication-notify-fifo { name = aggregator } service anvil-auth-penalty { name = anvil } service auth-worker { name = auth-worker } service auth-client { name = auth } service config { name = config } service dict { name = dict } service login/proxy-notify { name = director } service dns-client { name = dns_client } service doveadm-server { name = doveadm } service { inet_listener { address = * port = 0 name = imap } inet_listener { address = * port = 993 name = imaps } name = imap-login } service imap-urlauth { name = imap-urlauth-login } service imap-urlauth-worker { name = imap-urlauth-worker } service token-login/imap-urlauth { name = imap-urlauth } service login/imap { name = imap } service indexer-worker { name = indexer-worker } service indexer { name = indexer } service ipc { name = ipc } service lmtp { name = lmtp } service log-errors { name = log } service { inet_listener { address = 10.1.1.40 port = 0 name = pop3 } inet_listener { address = * port = 0 name = pop3s } name = pop3-login } service login/pop3 { name = pop3 } service replicator-doveadm { name = replicator } service login/ssl-params { name = ssl-params } service stats-mail { name = stats } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/thot_mit_chain.crt ssl_key = </etc/ssl/certs/private_key_thot.rz.pem userdb { driver = passwd } userdb { args = /mailbase/dovecot/2.2.9/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf driver = ldap } protocol imap { mail_plugins = " stats imap_stats" service replication-notify-fifo { name = aggregator } service anvil-auth-penalty { name = anvil } service auth-worker { name = auth-worker } service auth-client { name = auth } service config { name = config } service dict { name = dict } service login/proxy-notify { name = director } service dns-client { name = dns_client } service doveadm-server { name = doveadm } service imap { name = imap-login } service imap-urlauth { name = imap-urlauth-login } service imap-urlauth-worker { name = imap-urlauth-worker } service token-login/imap-urlauth { name = imap-urlauth } service login/imap { name = imap } service indexer-worker { name = indexer-worker } service indexer { name = indexer } service ipc { name = ipc } service lmtp { name = lmtp } service log-errors { name = log } service pop3 { name = pop3-login } service login/pop3 { name = pop3 } service replicator-doveadm { name = replicator } service login/ssl-params { name = ssl-params } service stats-mail { name = stats } }

[Dovecot] it's possible to send email from the system after the mailbox quota is full
by ihab 13 Jan '14

13 Jan '14

it's possible to send email from the system after the mailbox quota is full i don't want warning mail i want something else because when i use warning on 100% or 99% or less some times the last message be too large (so if just 5% is free from quota size and the last msg size is 6% from quota ) after that the mailbox will not receive this message or warning message . -- View this message in context: http://dovecot.2317879.n4.nabble.com/it-s-possible-to-send-email-from-the-s… Sent from the Dovecot mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Dovecot] dsync error: gz trailer has wrong CRC value
by Joe Beaubien 13 Jan '14

13 Jan '14

A few days ago by dovecot installation started behaving weirdly. First it was doveadm fts optimize which would fail (a thread running about that) and now it's dsync, which means my backups are not working. This all started a few days ago, which I find a little weird, because I haven't messed around with the dovecot setup in months. I've been searching the internet, but didn't find anything useful yet. Would anyone know how to fix the errors in the log below? Thanks, -Joe dovecot version is 2.1.7 Here is the log: dsync(archive): Error: zlib.read(/mba_data/emails/archive/storage/m.1885): gz trailer has wrong CRC value at 16966298 dsync(archive): Error: zlib.read(/mba_data/emails/archive/storage/m.1885): missing gz header at 16973513 dsync(archive): Error: zlib.read(/mba_data/emails/archive/storage/m.1885): missing gz header at 16973513 dsync(archive): Error: zlib.read(/mba_data/emails/archive/storage/m.1885): missing gz header at 16973513 dsync(archive): Error: zlib.read(/mba_data/emails/archive/storage/m.1885): missing gz header at 16973513 dsync(archive): Error: zlib.read(/mba_data/emails/archive/storage/m.1885): missing gz header at 16973513 dsync(archive): Error: read(msg input) failed: Invalid argument dsync(archive): Error: zlib.read(/mba_data/emails/archive/storage/m.1885): missing gz header at 16973513 dsync(archive): Panic: file mail-index-transaction-update.c: line 906 (mail_index_update_ext): assertion failed: (seq > 0 && (seq <= mail_index_view_get_messages_count(t->view) || seq <= t->last_new_seq)) dsync(archive): Error: Raw backtrace: /opt/dovecot-2.1.7/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x4203a) [0x7f3a5150503a] -> /opt/dovecot-2.1.7/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(default_fatal_handler+0x2a) [0x7f3a515050fa] -> /opt/dovecot-2.1.7/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_fatal+0) [0x7f3a514dc3f0] -> /opt/dovecot-2.1.7/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_index_update_ext+0x1c7) [0x7f3a51804927] -> /opt/dovecot-2.1.7/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(+0xa8746) [0x7f3a517f7746] -> /opt/dovecot-2.1.7/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_cache_transaction_commit+0x4c) [0x7f3a517f7a2c] -> /opt/dovecot-2.1.7/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(+0xa8af3) [0x7f3a517f7af3] -> /opt/dovecot-2.1.7/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(+0xa2cea) [0x7f3a517f1cea] -> /opt/dovecot-2.1.7/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_index_transaction_commit_full+0x84) [0x7f3a51800754] -> /opt/dovecot-2.1.7/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(index_transaction_commit+0x8a) [0x7f3a517f209a] -> /opt/dovec ot/lib/d ovecot/lib20_zlib_plugin.so(+0x3b7a) [0x7f3a4fe8cb7a] -> /opt/dovecot/lib/dovecot/lib20_fts_plugin.so(+0xb481) [0x7f3a5009b481] -> /opt/dovecot-2.1.7/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mailbox_transaction_commit_get_changes+0x3d) [0x7f3a517c9c4d] -> /opt/dovecot/bin/dsync() [0x4297e6] -> /opt/dovecot/bin/dsync() [0x42b222] -> /opt/dovecot/bin/dsync(dsync_worker_select_mailbox+0x2e) [0x4291be] -> /opt/dovecot/bin/dsync() [0x424c75] -> /opt/dovecot/bin/dsync() [0x424db7] -> /opt/dovecot/bin/dsync(dsync_brain_msg_sync_more+0x22c) [0x4245ec] -> /opt/dovecot/bin/dsync(dsync_brain_sync+0x459) [0x422fc9] -> /opt/dovecot/bin/dsync() [0x423e61] -> /opt/dovecot/bin/dsync(dsync_brain_sync+0x7f1) [0x423361] -> /opt/dovecot/bin/dsync() [0x423cdc] -> /opt/dovecot/bin/dsync(dsync_brain_sync+0x832) [0x4233a2] -> /opt/dovecot/bin/dsync(dsync_brain_sync_all+0x18) [0x423ee8] -> /opt/dovecot/bin/dsync() [0x420f36] -> /opt/dovecot/bin/dsync() [0x4215b2] -> /opt/dovecot/bin/dsync() [0x40e798]

[Dovecot] Dovecot quota with MySQL - username issue
by michael 11 Jan '14

11 Jan '14

Hi all, I'm using Dovecot 2.2.8 with quota using a MySQL backend. The Quota plugin is listed for POP3, IMAP and LDA. When it is enabled for LDA, it populates the "username" field in the MySQL table with e mail addresses. I end up with a mixture of email addresses and usernames, which causes things to not fully work. It *should* be just usernames. the LDA SQL statement is: user_query = \ SELECT mailboxes.username, accounts.uid, accounts.uid AS gid, \ concat('/home/',mailboxes.username) AS home, \ (SELECT IF(accounts.new_mail_fmt=1, \ CONCAT('Maildir:',home,'/Maildir'), \ CONCAT('mbox:',home,'/Maildir:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/',mailboxes.username))) AS mail_location \ FROM mailboxes JOIN accounts ON accounts.username=mailboxes.username \ WHERE (mailboxes.email='%u' || \ (mailboxes.email=CONCAT('@','%d') AND (SELECT COUNT(email) FROM mailboxes \ WHERE email='%u') = 0) AND mailboxes.active IS TRUE) It clearly knows the username. Usernames on this system are just names, not full email addresses. The configuration of Quota Dict is: dovecot.conf dict/quotadict = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf ... quota = dict:user::proxy::quotadict dovecot-dict-sql.conf map { pattern = priv/quota/storage table = quota username_field = username value_field = bytes } map { pattern = priv/quota/messages table = quota username_field = username value_field = messages } Can this be fixed?

[Dovecot] Possible to force cipher order?
by Matthias Rieber 10 Jan '14

10 Jan '14

Hi, is it possible to force the server cipher order instead of the clients preferences? When I connect with openssl using these ciphers: 'RC4-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384' -> RC4-SHA will be selected and with 'DHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:RC4-SHA' -> DHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384 It seems to be recommended for webservers to override that due to bad clients choices and increasing knowledge, like RC4 vs. BEAST, AES128 better (theoretical) than AES256. Regards, Matthias

[Dovecot] Message filtering capability at IMAP proxy
by CM Reddy 10 Jan '14

10 Jan '14

Hi, I would like process the messages at Dovecot IMAP proxy. In one of the documents, it was mentioned that Dovecot proxy currently supports on the fly message filtering in latest releases. Will it it possible to extend the filtering feature to handle the following requirements. 1. Parse the email at IMAP proxy. 2. Replace the links with some other secure links. 3. Replace the attachments with some other document. It would be great, if any one can provide some pointers to move forward. - Thanks in advance CM Reddy

[Dovecot] imap auto create mailbox: we're not in group 8(mail)
by Adrian Zaugg 09 Jan '14

09 Jan '14

Dear List Somehow I don't understand the intended work flow to have new mailboxes auto created. On login of a new user with no mailbox, I get 2014-01-09 12:53:06 imap(tester): Error: user tester: Initialization failed: Namespace '': mkdir(/var/mail/tester) failed: Permission denied (euid=1016(tester) egid=1016(tester) missing +w perm: /var/mail, we're not in group 8(mail), dir owned by 0:8 mode=0771) The imap process runs as the user the login performed and thus it has only the privileges of that user. This is good and desired, when a mailbox already exists. I do not want to allow all users to write to /var/mail, only they should write to their dirs inside /var/mail. Same story for LMTP, if no mailbox exists yet: 2014-01-09 13:01:47 lmtp(20416, tester): Error: user tester: Initialization failed: Namespace '': mkdir(/var/mail/tester) failed: Permission denied (euid=1016(tester) egid=1016(tester) missing +w perm: /var/mail, we're not in group 8(mail), dir owned by 0:8 mode=0771) How can I configure the auto create mailbox feature that it works and let run LMTP and IMAP process as user %u and group mail and let create the mailboxes in /var/mail as (example user tester) with the following permissions: /var/mail: drwxrwx--x root mail 3072 Dec 18 01:43 . drwx------ tester tester 1024 Jan 09 12:53 tester ...or do I need a different approach?

I tried using logical conjections of header searches and it works with my installation of dovecot, so either it's a bug introduced later than 2.1.16, or perhaps it from the different search engine you use (I use the default that comes with dovecot -- squat?).

[Dovecot] Disallow certain characters in foldernames?
by Charles Marcus 08 Jan '14

08 Jan '14

Is there a way to do this in dovecot? Similar to how you can When using Maildir and Thunderbird, if a user tries to a create folder named "test.1" or "test/1", dovecot will happily create a folder called "test", with a subfolder called "1". Worse, the top level folder "test" is greyed out, which is how Thunderbird displays a folder that can contain only other folders, not both folders and files. I want to disallow this. Obviously I'd prefer if Thunderbird would display a meaningful error, but most likely dovecot cannot control that. I don't really care if the user just gets some kind of weird generic error or not, I'd just prefer to prevent dovecot from creating the problematic folders, and explain the problem to the user if/when they call about it (after NOT reading my carefully crafted documentation explaining the illegal characters that cannot be used in foldernames). -- Best regards, Charles

[Dovecot] acl, shared folders

Hi list, After spending quite some time to figure out how users can share folders I now hope someone of you could help me out. I am quite sure its just a stupid mistake/misunderstanding ... I am using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with the shipped dovecot 2.0.19 When I login via telnet as user1 I get the following: 1 create folder1 1 OK Create completed. 2 setacl folder1 user2 rli 2 OK Setacl complete. 3 getacl folder1 * ACL "folder1" "user2" ilr "user1" lrwstipekxacd 3 OK Getacl completed. This seems fine. However, there is nothing listed in the account of user2. I think the mistake is in the namespace configuration of "location" or "prefix" Please help!

[Dovecot] LMTP with virtual and system users
by Philipp Kolmann 08 Jan '14

08 Jan '14

Hi, I have a mailsystem where i have some local users with shell access and full home dirs which receive mail and also several SQL virtual users only for mail. With the virtual users, everything works fine. Mail is delivered via LMTP and also sieve works :) The SQL Lookup knows what to do with username(a)domain.com The problem is the system user. If exim delivers the mail to the lmtp socket, the LMTPd can't find username(a)local.host I would be able to specify the global auth_username_format=%n but then my SQL queries break and I like the possibility to have xx(a)domain1.com and xx(a)domain2.com routed to two different accounts. As I have seen in the source, I can't specify username_format=%n in the passdb { driver = pam } backend. Do you have any suggestion how to solve this issue? thanks Philipp

[Dovecot] Question re: filesystem permissions
by Charles Marcus 08 Jan '14

08 Jan '14

Hi all, I want to make sure the filesystems are correct/optimal and secure as possible. This is a virtual hosting setup only (no system users), and dovecot is currently running in high performance mode (I'm thinking I want to change that too, so wondering if that would affect the permissions)... /var/vmail (and everything under it) is owned by vmail:vmail. Current permissions are: /var/vmail 755 /var/vmail/example1.com 777 /var/vmail/example2.com 777 /var/vmail/example1.com/user1 755 (all other user home dirs are the same) /var/vmail/example1.com/user1/Maildir 700 (all other user Maildirs and all subdirs are the same) All files are 600, with the exception of the dovecot-uidvalidity.blahblah files, which are 444 So... is this right? Anything need to be changed? Thanks, -- Best regards, Charles

Hey Joseph! Thanks for testing. > I couldn't recreate this with 2.1.16. Also, my version of "doveadm > search" does not accept missing header patterns. Is this corroborated > by dumping out the header with this same search query? > > doveadm fetch -u exampleuser hdr SUBJECT Silvester \ > HEADER Return-Path someuser at example.com Yes, it's same phenomenon when dumping with fetch. Of course you can only test this properly when you really have some mails with corresponding existing Header fields. (You can also try out other HEADER fields, like Reply-To, References, X-Spam-Score or whatever - just look at some mail headers of your mails and try it with existing fields.) So E.g. When doing doveadm fetch -u exampleuser hdr SUBJECT Silvester HEADER Return-Path someuser(a)example.com it initially outputs 13 headers (same as when using with SUBJECT Silvester only) , when piping it to "grep -i 'Return-Path'" it even found only 3 out of 13 headers containing a Return-Path at all, 2 of them different than someuser(a)example.com - so SAME behaviour as with search.

[Dovecot] how to separate virtual delivery and authentication?
by Mihai Badici 08 Jan '14

08 Jan '14

I have a "pure ldap" setting with postfix and dovecot. When using dovecot delivery, the recipient is checked via ldap. The same ldap query is used when authenticate. So, if I want to authenticate with the uid , I can't use a filter like uid=%u because the delivery will fail. I don't want to use %nor something else because I could use multiple e-mail addresses on a single account. I actually use a filter like ( mail=%u)|(uid=%u) but I think for more complex situations should be better to have two separate filters, one for authentication and the other for the delivery.

Re: [Dovecot] BUG report: doveadm HEADER <field> <pattern> when concatenating with another Search key

[Dovecot] Dovecot can't find CLucene's libstemmer on FreeBSD
by interfaSys sàrl 08 Jan '14

08 Jan '14

Hello, A set of patches was created by Lawrence Chen for the Dovecot2 port so that it could recognise and use libstemmer and libexttextcat. They can't be used as is as he's replacing statements with something that works only on FreeBSD, but I think it would be a good idea to try and include some of his fixes. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/175813 Cheers, Olivier

Re: [Dovecot] using OR in doveadm search query

( I > am using dovecot 2.2.9) Each search token ought to be a command line argument to doveadm, so if you're looking for all message with the string "a" or "b" in the subject in mailboxes shared/*, then this should be the correct syntax, with all arguments sufficiently escaped from shell interpretation: doveadm search mailbox shared/\* $ SUBJECT a OR SUBJECT b $ (Delete "OR" if both strings must be in the subject: expressions are implicitly AND'd if not OR'd. In fact, you can also remove the parenthesis since precedence doesn't matter anymore.) You can check the search query by fetching some values using the same query: doveadm fetch 'mailbox hdr' mailbox shared/\* $ SUBJECT a OR SUBJECT b $ Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

[Dovecot] Mailbox autocreate feature cannot create folders
by interfaSys sàrl 08 Jan '14

08 Jan '14

Hello, The "new" way of creating default mailboxes doesn't work for us. There seems to be a permission problem. We get this in the logs: imap(testuser(a)domain.com): Error: nfs_flush_file_handle_cache_dir: rmdir(/var/mail) failed: Device busy That error message has nothing to do with NFS (not used) or /var/mail and appears every time an app is requesting a list of folders via IMAP and only if we enable the autocreate feature. We're using mdbox, emails are delivered via LDA and the folder permissions look like this: # la /home/user/imap/domain.com/testuser/mdbox/mailboxes/ total 5 drwx------ 3 user mail 3B Jan 5 19:33 INBOX drwx------ 3 user mail 3B Jan 5 19:33 . drwx------ 4 user mail 8B Jan 7 02:43 .. The mailbox definitions used come straight from the wiki: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxSettings I've enabled debugging, but there is no mention of the mailboxes to create: Debug: dict quota... Debug: Namespace : type=private, prefix=, sep=/, inbox=yes, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes location=mdbox:~/mdbox Debug: fs:... Debug: acl:... ... Here is what works: - Autocreate plugin - Creating folders via various clients So, it seems Dovecot can create folders, just not using that feature. If that's not a bug, would there be a way to make it work without altering permissions? Cheers, Olivier

[Dovecot] need assistance migrating between apple servers
by Raymond Norton 06 Jan '14

06 Jan '14

I am attempting to move imap folders from an Apple Snow Leopard server to a new Apple Mavericks server. Dovecot --version is not working , but I believe the old server is running dovecot 1.1.2 and can confirm the new one is running 2.2.x. I have tried taring and moving folders, but have not been able to get the transfered messages and folders to show up in user accounts (new messages show up fine). I have attempted to recreate index files, but that has not worked either. The last attempt I made to migrate was to use dsync, but it does not exist on the old server and I do not see a way to install it. What method would work best to migrate or move files and folders from the old server and get them to show up for clients on using the new server? -- Raymond Norton LCTN 952.955.7766 Sent from My Desktop

[Dovecot] [SIEVE] Locking Errors with vnd.dovecot.duplicate Extension
by Daniel Parthey 06 Jan '14

06 Jan '14

Hi, we are running a 4 host setup which each hosts a director+mailbox which is mounted via NFSv4 from a DRBD cluster. * Dovecot upstream release 2.1.16 * Doveadm batch subcommand fix - http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.1/raw-rev/850b5d8bbcc9 * Pigeonhole release 0.3.4 Now we would like to remove duplicate Mails using the vnd.dovecot.duplicate extension using a SIEVE script like this: require ["vnd.dovecot.duplicate", "fileinto", "mailbox", "regex", "vacation", "variables"]; if duplicate { fileinto :create "Trash"; } But as soon as we start delivering duplicate mails, we're sometimes getting locking errors from the mailbox (which is responsible for the user) according to the director: Dec 27 16:36:30 10.129.3.213 dovecot: lmtp(27975, user001(a)example.org) Error: Creating lock file for /mail/dovecot/example.org/user001/.dovecot.lda-dupes timed out in 20 secs Dec 27 16:36:33 10.129.3.213 dovecot: lmtp(27987, user001(a)example.org) Error: Creating lock file for /mail/dovecot/example.org/user001/.dovecot.lda-dupes timed out in 20 secs Dec 27 16:36:35 10.129.3.213 dovecot: lmtp(27994, user001(a)example.org) Error: Creating lock file for /mail/dovecot/example.org/user001/.dovecot.lda-dupes timed out in 20 secs Dec 27 16:36:36 10.129.3.213 dovecot: lmtp(28011, user001(a)example.org) Error: Creating lock file for /mail/dovecot/example.org/user001/.dovecot.lda-dupes timed out in 20 secs Dec 27 16:36:36 10.129.3.213 dovecot: lmtp(28013, user001(a)example.org) Error: Creating lock file for /mail/dovecot/example.org/user001/.dovecot.lda-dupes timed out in 20 secs Dec 27 16:36:38 10.129.3.213 dovecot: lmtp(28017, user001(a)example.org) Error: Creating lock file for /mail/dovecot/example.org/user001/.dovecot.lda-dupes timed out in 20 secs Dec 27 16:36:39 10.129.3.213 dovecot: lmtp(28025, user001(a)example.org) Error: Creating lock file for /mail/dovecot/example.org/user001/.dovecot.lda-dupes timed out in 20 secs Dec 27 16:36:42 10.129.3.213 dovecot: lmtp(28037, user001(a)example.org) Error: Creating lock file for /mail/dovecot/example.org/user001/.dovecot.lda-dupes timed out in 20 secs Dec 27 16:36:43 10.129.3.213 dovecot: lmtp(27973, user001(a)example.org) Error: Creating lock file for /mail/dovecot/example.org/user001/.dovecot.lda-dupes timed out in 20 secs Configs and Error log is attached.

Timo, would you consider adding support for "IMAP LIST Extension for Special-Use Mailboxes" <http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6154.txt> any time near in the future? I would really love to get rid of all those folders created by all those different mail clients just because they can't agree to use the same folder for special purpose. Obviously clients need to support it too. Having Dovecot support it certainly would make them adopt the standard sooner. p@rick -- state of mind Digitale Kommunikation http://www.state-of-mind.de Franziskanerstraße 15 Telefon +49 89 3090 4664 81669 München Telefax +49 89 3090 4666 Amtsgericht München Partnerschaftsregister PR 563

[Dovecot] Allow both SSL/993 and STARTTLS/143 connections (secure only)
by Charles Marcus 03 Jan '14

03 Jan '14

Hi all, Ok, up until now, I've only always allowed IMAPS connections to dovecot on port 993. I want to also start allowing clients to user port143+STARTTLS, but I walso want to make sure both ports are locked down to ONLY allow secure connections. So... is disable_plaintext_auth = yes in the main config enough to accomplish this? http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SSL/DovecotConfiguration says: There are a couple of different ways to specify when SSL/TLS is required: * disable_plaintext_auth=yes allows plaintext authentication <http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/Mechanisms> only when SSL/TLS is used first. * ssl = required requires SSL/TLS also for non-plaintext authentication <http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/Mechanisms>. * If you have only plaintext mechanisms enabled (auth { mechanisms = plain login } ), you can use either (or both) of the above settings. They behave exactly the same way then and the comments in 10-auth.conf say: # Disable LOGIN command and all other plaintext authentications unless # SSL/TLS is used (LOGINDISABLED capability). Note that if the remote IP # matches the local IP (ie. you're connecting from the same computer), the # connection is considered secure and plaintext authentication is allowed. # See also ssl=required setting. #disable_plaintext_auth = yes These seem to be saying that all I need to do is set either or both (ssl-required and/or disable_plaintext_auth=yes). I'm looking for the simplest, and don't like redundant/unnecessary settings, so... which is the best/preferred way? And what is the difference between ssl=required and disable_plaintext_auth=yes?

[Dovecot] Dovecot doesn't seem to read userdb for the first delivery
by phuhimself＠phunehehe.net 02 Jan '14

02 Jan '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hello List, First of all, this is my first post so please bear with me if I miss something. I'm using Postfix with Dovecot 2.0.19 as the LDA. The home directory is of the form `/var/mail/virtual/<domain>/<username>`. The mail directory is under the home directory and named `mail`. `mail_location` is left empty, and userdb is specified using SQL: user_query = SELECT uid AS uid, \ gid AS gid, \ homedir AS home, \ maildir AS mail \ FROM users WHERE email = '%u' Everything had been fine, until I added a new user. In the log, Dovecot complains that it doesn't have permission to create the mail directory (email address replaced): > Jan 2 05:46:19 mail1 dovecot: lda(test(a)test.com): Error: user > test(a)test.com: > Initialization failed: Initializing mail storage from mail_location > setting > failed: mkdir(mail) in directory /var/spool/postfix failed: Permission > denied > (euid=5000(virtual) egid=5000(virtual) missing +w perm: > /var/spool/postfix, > dir owned by 0:0 mode=0755) Sometimes it complains about /run/dovecot instead of /var/spool/postfix, but I think that doesn't really matter. I think not specifying `mail_location` confused Dovecot, as explained in [MailLocation][1]. When I put in the right value for `mail_location` the error went away. What I don't understand is, it is said in the [same document][1] that the userdb field `mail` will override `mail_location` anyway. I would think that I can skip `mail_location` if I specify userdb `mail` for all users. Is the document wrong?

[Dovecot] How to add dovecot plugin?
by Timothy Murphy 31 Dec '13

31 Dec '13

I'm running dovecot version 2.0.9 under CentOS-6.5 . I want to add the following plugin: ==================== require "fileinto"; if header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" "YES" { fileinto "Spam"; } ==================== Could some kind soul tell me where exactly I should place this script (eg "anywhere in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf" or "anywhere in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/90-plugin.conf"), and do I need to take any other action? Actually, the folder I should like spam to go to is ~/Maildir/.Spam/cur/ - should I modify the above script? If these queries are anwered clearly in some dovecot documentation, please point me to that. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

[Dovecot] dsync-local crashes due to assertion failures
by Fabian Groffen 30 Dec '13

30 Dec '13

Hi, I have two servers that share nothing, running dovecot version 2.2.9. The first server hosts the original mail base, which I want to sync using dovecot to the second server. With some trial and error I managed to get synchronisation running using tcp sockets. Now for some accounts I see dsync-local crashing on the server that has the original mail base (which is still the only of the two that receives new mail). The log shows: Dec 8 03:13:14 zeus dovecot: dsync-local(someuser): Panic: file mail-index-tr ansaction-export.c: line 203 (log_append_ext_hdr_update): assertion failed: (u32 .offset + u32.size <= ext_hdr_size) Dec 8 03:13:14 zeus dovecot: dsync-local(someuser): Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x70ea0) [0x7f3ee4137ea0] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x70efe) [0x7f3ee4137efe] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_fatal+0) [0x7f3ee40ebd2c] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_index_transaction_export+0xbed) [0x7f3ee442e89d] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(+0x89104) [0x7f3ee442d104] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_index_transaction_commit_full+0xb2) [0x7f3ee442d592] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_index_transaction_commit+0xc) [0x7f3ee442d63c] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_index_sync_commit+0xb6) [0x7f3ee44372b6] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(+0x335d6) [0x7f3ee43d75d6] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(+0x328bc) [0x7f3ee43d68bc] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(+0x32d83) [0x7f3ee43d6d83] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(maildir_storage_sync_init+0xd9) [0x7f3ee43d7199] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mailbox_sync_init+0x2e) [0x7f3ee43e7f2e] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mailbox_sync+0x27) [0x7f3ee43e8047] -> dovecot/doveadm-server(dsync_brain_master_send_mailbox+0xcf) [0x41f17f] -> dovecot/doveadm-server(dsync_brain_run+0x2c8) [0x41d738] -> dovecot/doveadm-server() [0x41dd70] -> dovecot/doveadm-server() [0x42eda0] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_call_io+0x36) [0x7f3ee41495a6] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0xbd) [0x7f3ee414a62d] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x38) [0x7f3ee4149008] -> dovecot/doveadm-server() [0x41bb6c] -> dovecot/doveadm-server() [0x40ee3b] -> dovecot/doveadm-server() [0x419581] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_call_io+0x36) [0x7f3ee41495a6] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0xbd) [0x7f3ee414a62d] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x38) [0x7f3ee4149008] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(master_service_run+0x13) [0x7f3ee40f1643] Dec 8 03:13:14 zeus dovecot: dsync-local(someuser): Fatal: master: service(doveadm): child 14116 killed with signal 6 (core dumps disabled) It seems that despite these crashes, some data is being transferred. Newer accounts seem not to have problems, this happens with older accounts only, for as far as I can see. I tried removing the index files, but that didn't seem to help. Any ideas on what I can do here? Both servers are configured to use maildir storage. Thanks, Fabian -- Fabian Groffen Gentoo on a different level

[Dovecot] pop3 rate limit
by Christian Rößner 30 Dec '13

30 Dec '13

Hi, we have customers with Exchange servers that are polling for new mail every minute with dozens of pop3 accounts. I am looking for a mechanism to rate limit this per user. So what I am looking for is a way to block users from polling, if a user asks for new mail more than every 5 minutes (for example). Is this possible? Can this be achieved within Dovecot or does it need external scripting? (I thought about fail2ban, but also want IPv6 support) Thanks in advance -Christian Rößner -- [*] sys4 AG http://sys4.de, +49 (89) 30 90 46 64 Franziskanerstraße 15, 81669 München Sitz der Gesellschaft: München, Amtsgericht München: HRB 199263 Vorstand: Patrick Ben Koetter, Axel von der Ohe, Marc Schiffbauer Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender: Florian Kirstein

[Dovecot] Sieve's spamtest always returns 0
by martin f krafft 28 Dec '13

28 Dec '13

I am a bit at a loss here with Sieve (pigeonhole) and the spamtest extension. I am using Dovecot 2.1.7 (backported to Debian squeeze), which comes with Pigeonhole 0.3.0. Messages are scanned with SpamAssassin, which adds a header like X-Spam-Status: Yes, score=84.6 required=5.0 tests=… and so I configured spamtest in conf.d/90-plugin.conf like so: sieve_spamtest_status_type = score sieve_spamtest_status_header = X-Spam-Status: [^,]*, score=(-?[[:digit:]]+\.[[:digit:]]).* sieve_spamtest_max_header = X-Spam-Status: [^,]*, score=[^[:space:]]+ required=(-?[[:digit:]]+\.[[:digit:]]).* I tested those regular expressions with sed -r, e.g. % sed -rne "s@^X-Spam-Status: [^,]*, score=-?[[:digit:]]+\.[[:digit:]] required=(-?[[:digit:]]+\.[[:digit:]]).*@\1@p" mailfile 5.0 and they work. Unfortunately, in sieve scripts, the spamtest value is always 0, which is indicative of the spamtest "not having run", which in this case I assume means that the regular expression didn't match. Am I right in assuming that the matching happens at the time of evaluation, and so adding the headers using vnd.dovecot.filter just before works? Or does the spamtest matching happen before the sieve scripts are executed? Can you see any other reason why spamtest always yields a value of 0?

[Dovecot] Using DSync to convert from maildir to m/sdbox during migration of mail to new server
by Charles Marcus 27 Dec '13

27 Dec '13

Ok, now to work out the precise method (config for the target server and dsync command) to use to perform the migration from the old server to the new one, converting to dbox (s or m, depending on how the other thread discussing this turns out). I'll update the old server to 2.2.10 tomorrow morning so they're both at the same version. So, assuming both servers are running 2.2.10, with OldServer: mail_location = maildir:~/:INDEX=MEMORY and NewServer: mail_location = sdbox:~/sdbox or mail_location = mdbox:~/mdbox After reading and re-reading: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Dsync I'm not so sure... First problem - apparently it can only be used one user at a time? And - do you have to actually know the users password too? If so, then this probably isn't going to be easier, and maybe even harder than just rsyncing everything, then slowly converting each user one at a time. -- Best regards, */Charles/*

[Dovecot] Migrating from Maildir to dbox+SIS... sdbox or mdbox?
by Charles Marcus 27 Dec '13

27 Dec '13

Ok... Now that I've got the niggling issues resolved, on to bigger and better things. I want to convert everyone from Maildir to dbox and enable SIS (our users use a lot of large attachments), and after some reading/googling, I think it may be better to use dsync instead of rsync for the actual migration after all since it will do this at the same time as the syncing. If I'm not mistaken, once I've figured out the correct syntax for the command, I should be able to do the conversion and migration at the same time. So, that is what I want to do, but I still have to choose between sdbox and mdbox. I tend to feel a little safer with sdbox, just because it seems more stable - and I like the idea that if a file gets corrupted somehow, then it is only that one mail that may potentially be lost, but if mdbox indexes get corrupted, you are guaranteed to lose messages (maybe a lot)... But I also really like the idea of an order of magnitude fewer actual files (would make rsync based backups much faster, etc). Timo - the last comments I was able to find from you were back in 2011... would you mind commenting on the current stated of dbox - especially mdbox, as far as reliability goes? The 'scary warnings' about how important the index files are ... well ... scares me... ;) I know there were definitely some issues with mdbox a few years ago - I found the old thread from 2011, but nothing substantial since, so... So... are there any people here, especially larger installs, using mdbox? sdbox? I'd especially be interested in hearing from anyone who has used both, and picked one over the other, and their reasons for doing so. Thanks, -- Best regards, */Charles/*

[Dovecot] Enabling SIS (single instance storage)
by Charles Marcus 27 Dec '13

27 Dec '13

Ok, didn't find much on this... The bottom of /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf has the following settings: #mail_attachment_dir = #mail_attachment_min_size = 128k #mail_attachment_fs = sis posix #mail_attachment_hash = %{sha1} all of which are apparently the defaults according to doveconf -d output - so no need to set them explicitly, unless I want to change them, right? So, enable the first one - but - the comments don't say anything about supporting variables. I'm assuming you can, otherwise all attachments for all domains would be in a single directory, which some admins might not like (I wouldn't)... so hopefully I can just set it to this: mail_attachment_dir = /var/vmail/%d/.attachments So how does this work during conversion? Users still on maildir simply don't engage it? But as users are converted to dbox, all attachments are de-duped, and then new mails coming in with attachments (for converted users) are de-duped at delivery? The wiki could do with a bit more on enabling and implementing it, especially what to expect when enabling it for the first time on a production system and what to expect along the way when converting existing users... -- Best regards, */Charles/*

[Dovecot] mail_location, user 'home', questions
by Charles Marcus 27 Dec '13

27 Dec '13

Hi all, Ok, another question... I always like changes to the default settings whenever possible (KISS principle)... So, according to the dovecot wiki, the default location for a maildir setup is: mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir However, when I first tried to access mail on the new box, something wasn't right, and I ended up having to change this to: mail_location = maildir:~ to get mail to display correctly. The filesystem for a users maildir currently has everything (cur/new/tmp, and the individual folders) inside that users directory, ie: /var/vmail/example.com/user/ Do I need to change this so that everything is under a 'Maildir' subdirectroy inside the users directory, like: /var/vmail/example.com/user/Maildir/ ? Also, I'm aware that it is important that even virtual users have valid 'homes', but I'm confused as to where these are (or are supposed to be) by default. My sql query currently contains: user_query = \ SELECT CONCAT('/var/vmail/', maildir) AS home \ FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' iterate_query = SELECT username AS user FROM mailbox So... what exactly is this saying? That the users 'home' is '/var/vmail'? Or does it automatically append %d/%u? I'm specifically wondering if the intention for the defaults is for the users home to be: /var/vmail/example.com/user and the users maildirs to be in: /var/vmail/example.com/user/Maildir Would appreciate some clarification... It wouldn't be hard to mv all of the users maildirs to a Maildir subfolder after the sync, but I want to know for sure that that is what I should/need to do... Thanks, -- Best regards, */Charles/*

[Dovecot] Thunderbird message cache out of sync after repetitive rsyncs...
by Charles Marcus 27 Dec '13

27 Dec '13

Ok, hopefully there is a solution to this. I've been experimenting with multiple rsyncs in preparation for pulling the trigger on the mail server switch, but have a problem that I really want to fox before doing so. Apparently something causes Thunderbirds local message cache to get out of sync with dovecot after a sync. Here is the series of commands I'm running: 1. stop postfix, stop dovecot on new server 2. rsync -rltgovDHP --delete --exclude-from 'excludes.txt' /path/to/vmail/example.com/ /var/vmail/example.com/ 3. chown vmail:vmail /var/vmail 4. start dovecot, start postfix ls -al /var/vmail/example.com/user/cur shows all of the messages that should be there, and all perms are correct. Go to my account that is pointed to this mail server/account, and none of the new messages show up. Also, some messages are still showing up that shouldn't. I've tried compacting the folders, closing/relaunching Thunderbird, but nothing helps. The only way to get them to show up is to go to the local Thunderbird cache for the account, and delete the files associated with the folder having the problem. The problem is, ALL folders will have this problem, which means that everyone will need to delete ALL of their local cahced folders. This will be a major support problem. Anyone have any ideas? -- Best regards, */Charles/*

[Dovecot] Server Migration Attempt - new messages DELETED after secondary rsyncs
by Charles Marcus 27 Dec '13

27 Dec '13

Starting a new thread, as I've got a lot more details now... First, I know this may be (or is even likely) something weird happening with Thunderbird, but the bottom line is, I have to find a resolution or a workaround or something, or I will be unable to pull the trigger on the server migration. It is simply unacceptable to lose ANY mails doing this. Goal: migrate mailstore from old server to new server using rsync Thunderbird (24.2) is set up to access the new account for testing Problem: after rsync, ls shows new messages (11 for the 27th), but when Thunderbird accesses the maildir again after another rsync, MOST (but not all) of the new messages are deleted (only one for the 27th remains) Timo - I'd be happy to do anything necessary to track this down if you'll just tell me what you need... Note: if you are pretty confident that upgrading dovecot on the old server and using dsync to do the migration will solve the problem, obviously I'm willing to do that if there is no other choice, but... I hope you'll want to get to the bottom of this regardless, as, according to you and everything I've read, it should work without losing any emails... Ok, as to details...

[Dovecot] v2.2.10 released
by Timo Sirainen 27 Dec '13

27 Dec '13

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.10.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.10.tar.gz.sig I've been really busy the last few months, as I guess people in Dovecot mailing list have seen since I haven't been very responsive. There are at least some dsync bugs I haven't had time to look into yet. The busyness probably continues for a while more, but the next year is looking much better for me and for Dovecot in general. We're planning to hire a few more Dovecot coders at some point, so if you're interested send me an email. :) + auth: passdb/userdb dict rewrite to support much more complex setups. See doc/example-config/dovecot-dict-auth.conf.ext. The old settings will continue to work. + auth: Added userdb result_success/failure/tempfail and skip settings, similar to passdb's. See http://wiki2.dovecot.org/UserDatabase + imap: Implemented SETQUOTA command for admin user when quota_set is configured. See http://master.wiki2.dovecot.org/Quota/Configuration + quota: Support "*" and "?" wildcards in mailbox names in quota_rules + mysql: Added ssl_verify_server_cert=no|yes parameter. This currently defaults to "no" to make sure nothing breaks, but likely will become "yes" in Dovecot v2.3. + ldap: Added blocking=yes setting to use auth worker processes for ldap lookups. This is a workaround for now to be able to use multiple simultaneous LDAP connections. + pop3c+dsync performance improvements - quota-status: quota_grace was ignored - ldap: Fixed memory leak with auth_bind=yes and without auth_bind_userdn. - imap: Don't send HIGHESTMODSEQ anymore on SELECT/EXAMINE when CONDSTORE/QRESYNC has never before been enabled for the mailbox. - imap: Fixes to handling mailboxes without permanent modseqs. (When [NOMODSEQ] is returned by SELECT, mainly with in-memory indexes.) - imap: Various fixes to METADATA support. - stats plugin: Processes that only temporarily dropped privileges (e.g. indexer-worker) may have been logging errors about not being able to open /proc/self/io.

[Dovecot] obox_fs and Dropbox, someone uses it?

I purchased the license for the Dovecot Object Storage for Dropbox to test this functionality on a personal domain. Unfortunately I can not make it work, I create the token for my Dropbox account from here https://dropbox.dovecot.fi/ and setup in dovecot configuration. When I try to login with an user I found these errors in log file: ============ Dec 27 10:52:16 mail dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<dovecot1(a)test.it>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, mpid=8844, secured, session=<xxCXDIHuTQB/AAAB> Dec 27 10:52:16 mail dovecot: metacache-worker(8839): Error: fs-dropbox: GET 1/metadata/sandbox/dovecot1(a)test.it/idx/?file_limit=25000 failed: 401 Unauthorized Dec 27 10:52:16 archiviomail dovecot: metacache-worker(8839): Error: Failed to iterate dovecot1(a)test.it/idx/: GET 1/metadata/sandbox/dovecot1(a)test.it/idx/?file_limit=25000 failed: 401 Unauthorized Dec 27 10:52:16 mail dovecot: imap(dovecot1(a)test.it): Error: user dovecot1(a)test.it: Initialization failed: Namespace '': obox: USER-REF: /var/run/dovecot/metacache returned failure Dec 27 10:52:16 mail dovecot: imap(dovecot1(a)test.it): Error: Invalid user settings.

[Dovecot] German Umlauts in folder name and sieve

[Dovecot] Question re: indexes
by Charles Marcus 26 Dec '13

Hi all, On the old/current dovecot server, I have disabled on disk indexes: mail_location = maildir:~/:INDEX=MEMORY On the new server, I removed the 'INDEX=MEMORY' part, and I now see some new index related files, but what I don't see is the main dovecot.index file... I only have: dovecot.index.cache and dovecot.index.log So... where is the main dovecot.index file? -- Best regards, */Charles/*

Hello, If I try to use the crypt schemes provided by libc.

I have dovecot version 2.2.9 on Linux 3.11.0-14-generic x86_64 Ubuntu 13.10 and I get the same results on 32-bit Debian as well. Does anyone have idea what's wrong? Thanks in advance, Jouko Nikula

[Dovecot] Patch for Dovecot's quota policy daemon
by Peer Heinlein 24 Dec '13

24 Dec '13

Hi Timo, we wrote a simple Patch for the Dovecot quota policy daemon. If a user is over quota, I prefer blocking the user sending e-mails, so I need a policy daemon, that's able to use the envelope or sasl sender as lookup key. I'd be happy if that patch can become part of the normale Dovecot releases.

[Dovecot] Eliminate legacy INBOX namespace - how?
by Charles Marcus 24 Dec '13

24 Dec '13

Hi all, Our mailstore was converted from a Courier-IMAP system last year, but I am planning a migration to a shiny new VM, and would really like to clean things up and do away with the legacy INBOX namespace. My goal is to simplify IMAP client setup - no special 'INBOX' namespace needed, they just enter the server info and credentials. Also important because I will be rolling out SOGo, which has a nice web interface, and I want the mailstore to be as close to default dovecot settings as possible - although I do plan on converting from maildir to mdbox when I do the conversion I also don't want other folders to show up as subfolders of the Inbox in IMAP clients, they should all show up on the same level as the Inbox. I've read http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Migration/Courier, but I don't see anything about how to eliminate this stupid legacy INBOX. namespace, so that new IMAP clients won't show all folders as subfolders of the INBOX unless/until they add the INBOX namespace prefix in the advanced settings. I've also been reading http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Namespaces, but I'm still confused as to how to go about this. Currently I have: 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 = INBOX. separator = . } The wiki recommends avoiding the 'alternative' of having two different namespaces, so I don't want to do that. Also - it would be ok if existing clients had temporary issues displaying folders properly until the INBOX prefix was removed (I would give everyone plenty of advance warning). Anyone ever done this before? Any suggestions Timo? Note: I am planning a migration to a new mail server (VM), so could make any filesystem layout changes when I do this if necessary. Thanks, -- Best regards, */Charles/*

[Dovecot] Is the users password available from a mail_filter?
by martijn.list 23 Dec '13

23 Dec '13

Hi, I'm working on a Dovecot encryption module which uses the mail filter plugin to encrypt/decrypt the message "on the fly". I was wondering whether it is possible to access the password (or a hashed password) of the user. It seems that only the user (using the %u parameter) is available to the mail_filter plugin. Any idea how to get hold of the (possibly hashed) password? Kind regards, Martijn Brinkers

[Dovecot] Horde + dovecot metadata support
by Andreas Schulze 23 Dec '13

23 Dec '13

Hello, Horde (http://horde.org) has the ability to store its preferences direct into a users imap mailbox using imap metadata extension. There are two implementations of the imap extension. 1. a dovecot plugin: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-metadata-plugin 2. dovecot itself: http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2013-November/093243.html I setup Horde and dovecot-2.2.5 to use this extension and it works well using 1.) Now, with dovecot-2.2.9, the plugin fail to compile (unrelated problem on my side). So I tried 2.) But here I get a Horde-Error "Error in IMAP command GETMETADATA: Invalid arguments." I enables mail_debug but saw no helpfull logging. mail_attribute_dict = file:/tmp/%Lu/dovecot-attributes remote horde.testserver.ip/32 { imap_metadata = yes mail_debug = yes } Also I created directory /tmp/$my_login_id (mode 777) but dovecot also created no files. neither it logs anything about it. This is a sample imap session generated by horde: * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN] Dovecot ready. 1 AUTHENTICATE PLAIN *** 1 OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE SORT SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT MULTIAPPEND URL-PARTIAL CATENATE UNSELECT CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE QRESYNC ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH LIST-STATUS SPECIAL-USE BINARY MOVE METADATA QUOTA] Logged in 2 NAMESPACE * NAMESPACE (("" "."))

[Dovecot] TLS SNI with Dovecot
by Michael Neurohr 23 Dec '13

23 Dec '13

Hi! I've been using Dovecot for one single Domain with SSL certificates. Now I would like to use Dovecot with several Domains and proper SSL certificates. I tried to setup TLS SNI but it does not work. What I basically did was just adding local_name imap.samsoft.at { ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/private/mailserver/imap.samsoft.at.crt ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/mailserver/imap.samsoft.at.key } for the additional domain. When trying to login via IMAP, I see the following lines in the log file: =================================================================== Dec 22 21:01:05 mx0 dovecot: imap-login: Warning: SSL alert: where=0x4004, ret=554: fatal bad certificate [151.236.5.22] Dec 22 21:01:05 mx0 dovecot: imap-login: Warning: SSL failed: where=0x2002: SSLv3 read client certificate A [151.236.5.22] Dec 22 21:01:05 mx0 dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts in 0 secs): user=<>, rip=151.236.5.22, lip=151.38.7.25, TLS handshaking: SSL_accept() failed: error:14094412:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:sslv3 alert bad certificate: SSL alert number 42, session=<Rg5EzyXutgCX7AaF> =================================================================== The actual Dovecot config is pasted below.

[Dovecot] Duplicated (but only for unread) messages after second rsync pass...
by Charles Marcus 22 Dec '13

22 Dec '13

Ok, I know I should probably be using dsync for this, but I'm more familiar with rsync, and didn't think this would be a problem. Here is what I am doing, and what is apparently happening (only done this once, but I'm guessing it will happen each time): rsync -avHP /mnt/vmail/example.com/user1/ /var/vmail/example.com/user1/ chown -R vmail:vmail /var/vmail/example.com Ok, so far so good, everything works fine accessing the mails (I'm using Thunderbird). Now I do another rsync, but this time I did the entire mailstore: rsync -avHP /mnt/vmail/example.com/ /var/vmail/example.com/ chown -R vmail:vmail /var/vmail/example.com Right after I started up dovecot again, I hot a bunch of these in the logs: 2013-12-22T09:52:51-05:00 newhost dovecot: imap(user1(a)example.com): Warning: Maildir /var/vmail/example.com/user1/: Expunged message reappeared, giving a new UID (old uid=45516, file=1387468268.Vfe02Ic1343fM845754.oldhost.sub.example.com:2,ST) 2013-12-22T09:52:51-05:00 newhost dovecot: imap(user1(a)example.com): Warning: Maildir /var/vmail/example.com/user1/: Expunged message reappeared, giving a new UID (old uid=45518, file=1387468645.Vfe02Ic73e0eM530539.oldhost.sub.example.com:2,ST) The problem is, it looks like every single message that was flagged as unread is now duplicated on the new system. Also - not that this is a problem, but all of the old messages have the fqdn of the old server in the individual email file names - oldhost.sub.example.com - while the new ones only have the local hostname (newhost) Did I do something wrong? Or is this going to be an unavoidable problem if I want to use rsync to do the final migration that using dsync would avoid? Thanks, -- Best regards, */Charles /*

[Dovecot] Dovecot proxying with LDAP - an example?
by Graham Leggett 22 Dec '13

22 Dec '13

Hi all, I have been struggling trying to understand the syntax to configure dovecot as a proxy against an LDAP server. As a single server dovecot works great. Now I want to add the "mailHost" attribute which, if present, should indicate the DNS name of the host that contains the person's mailbox. If the mailHost matches the local hostname, the mailbox should be served locally as it already does now. If the mailHost is not the local hostname, dovecot should proxy the request to the given server using SSL on port 993. The docs at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase/ExtraFields/Proxy suggest that proxy_always is what I am looking for, but I cannot find any worked examples of how this might work. Has anyone attempted this before? What I have so far is this, but no proxying seems to take place: pass_attrs = mail=user,userPassword=password,\ mailMessageStore=userdb_mail,=proxy_always=y,mailHost=host,=ssl=yes Can anyone confirm? I am using dovecot v2.0.9 as provided out the box by RHEL6. Regards, Graham --

[Dovecot] 'unknown user' using dovecot LDA
by Charles Marcus 22 Dec '13

22 Dec '13

Ok, one more issue to resolve. The old server was still using the postfix/virtual for delivery, but the new one is using the dovecot LDA. Now, when an email generated locally by a cron job is delivered, this shows in the log: 2013-12-22T10:29:55-05:00 host postfix/pickup[31400]: C67FD90F676B2: uid=0 from=<newsrv+rkhunter(a)example.com> 2013-12-22T10:29:55-05:00 host postfix/cleanup[22349]: C67FD90F676B2: message-id=<20131222152955.C67FD90F676B2(a)smtp2.example.com> 2013-12-22T10:29:55-05:00 host postfix/qmgr[31401]: C67FD90F676B2: from=<newsrv+rkhunter(a)example.com>, size=1555, nrcpt=1 (queue active) 2013-12-22T10:29:55-05:00 host dovecot: auth-worker(22365): passwd(user1(a)example.com): unknown user 2013-12-22T10:29:55-05:00 host dovecot: lda(user1(a)example.com): msgid=<20131222152955.C67FD90F676B2(a)smtp2.example.com>: saved mail to INBOX 2013-12-22T10:29:55-05:00 host postfix/pipe[22361]: C67FD90F676B2: to=<user1+rkhunter-report(a)example.com>, relay=dovecot, delay=0.06, delays=0.02/0/0/0.04, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered via dovecot service) 2013-12-22T10:29:55-05:00 host postfix/qmgr[31401]: C67FD90F676B2: removed The mail was delivered (as the log also clearly shows), but what is with the 'unknown user'? I'm not sure how I can test my maps with dovecot, but testing with postfix shows: # postmap -q user1(a)example.com mysql:/etc/postfix/maps/mysql/vmm.cf example.com/user1/ Which is correct. And my dovecot-sql-conf.ext contains: driver = mysql connect = "host=localhost dbname=db_name user=dbuser password=password" default_pass_scheme = CRYPT password_query = \ SELECT username AS user, password \ FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' user_query = \ SELECT CONCAT('/var/vmail/', maildir) AS home \ FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' iterate_query = SELECT username AS user FROM mailbox I confirmed the db info is identical to what postfix is using. Oh - and in order to make sure that all usernames are lowercased, shouldn't I change '%u' above to '%Lu'? Appreciate any suggestions on where to go next... thanks -- Best regards, */Charles/*

by Charles Marcus 22 Dec '13

22 Dec '13

Hi all, Ok, I'm making progress on my new server, but there is an entry in the logs on the old/current server that is not showing p on the new one... lines like: dovecot: auth-worker(20284): mysql(localhost): Connected to database my_auth_db I've looked everywhere, compared settings, etc, and can't seem to find why I get this line on the old server and odn't on the new one. Anyone have a clue stick? Thanks

[Dovecot] File descriptor leak in sieve-extprograms

I've tried to use sieve-filter for my inbox (~6000 messages). It failed after some work with this backtrace: sieve-filter(kas): Error: socketpair() failed: Too many open files sieve-filter(kas): Panic: file script-client-local.c: line 155 (script_client_local_disconnect): assertion failed: (pid >= 0) sieve-filter(kas): Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x66a71) [0x7f020e717a71] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(default_fatal_handler+0x2a) [0x7f020e717ada] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_fatal+0) [0x7f020e6d32ee] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/sieve/lib90_sieve_extprograms_plugin.so(+0x4baf) [0x7f020dae0baf] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/sieve/lib90_sieve_extprograms_plugin.so(+0x58ca) [0x7f020dae18ca] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/sieve/lib90_sieve_extprograms_plugin.so(script_client_fail+0x2f) [0x7f020dae199f] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/sieve/lib90_sieve_extprograms_plugin.so(script_client_run+0xc4) [0x7f020dae1fd4] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/sieve/lib90_sieve_extprograms_plugin.so(+0x6134) [0x7f020dae2134] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-sieve.so.0(sieve_result_execute+0x3ac) [0x7f020ecd1adc] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-sieve.so.0(sieve_execute+0x4a) [0x7f020ece05aa] -> /usr/bin/sieve-filter(main+0x6a9) [0x403b49] -> /usr/lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_ma in+0xf5) [0x7f020e327bc5] -> /usr/bin/sieve-filter() [0x404111] The reason is file descriptor leak in "script client local". script_client_local_close_output() shutdowns write side of descriptor and sets sclient->fd_out to -1, but never closes the descriptor.

[Dovecot] Ignoring mount points for secondary dovecot instance does not seem to work
by Jouko Nikula 21 Dec '13

21 Dec '13

Hello, I tried to ignore all mountpoints in Dovecot. I have two dovecot instances running: root@fileserver# doveadm instance list path name last used running /usr/local/var/run/dovecot dovecot 2013-12-21 08:09:34 yes /var/run/dovecot.smtp smtp-auth 2013-12-21 08:09:34 yes I give commands: root@fileserver# doveadm mount add '/*' ignore root@fileserver# doveadm -i smtp-auth mount add '/*' ignore And then restart dovecot. In the log I can see that the main instance is now ignoring my mountpoints, but the smtp-auth instance is still warning about my mountpoints. Is this a bug or am I missing something? My configurations are as follows: root@fileserver# doveconf -ni smtp-auth # 2.2.9: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf.smtp # OS: Linux 3.2.0-4-686-pae i686 Debian 7.1 auth_mechanisms = plain login base_dir = /var/run/dovecot.smtp/ first_valid_uid = 123 instance_name = smtp-auth log_timestamp = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S " mail_gid = mail mail_location = maildir:~/mail mail_uid = vmail passdb { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } passdb { args = dovecot driver = pam } protocols = service auth-worker { user = vmail } service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/imapd.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/imapd.pem userdb { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } root@fileserver# doveconf -n # 2.2.9: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.2.0-4-686-pae i686 Debian 7.1 auth_mechanisms = plain login first_valid_uid = 123 log_timestamp = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S " mail_gid = mail mail_location = maildir:~/mail mail_uid = vmail passdb { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } passdb { args = session=yes dovecot driver = pam } protocols = imap service auth-worker { user = vmail } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/imapd.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/imapd.pem userdb { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } regards, - Jouko

[Dovecot] Thank you!
by Steve Litt 20 Dec '13

20 Dec '13

Hi all, I've been on this list for 18 months but almost completely as a lurker. You know why? Because Dovecot never, ever, ever screws up on me or displays unexpected behavior, so I never have technical questions. Thank you for producing such a rock solid piece of software!
