`Spam' folder creation for multiple users
by Marek Kozlowski 17 Mar '19

17 Mar '19

:-) I've just added pigeonhole and a simple sieve script: ------------------------------------------------- require "fileinto"; if header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" "YES" { fileinto "Spam"; } ------------------------------------------------- If a user has this folder (`Spam') it works fine. If they haven't it results in an error. 1. Can I modify the script to create this folder if the need arise? 2. If not - what's the most recommended way of adding this folder for all users (~1000)? Thanks! Best regards, Marek

lda: Unknown mail storage driver maildir
by Rob De Langhe 17 Mar '19

17 Mar '19

hi all, I have a successful (self-compiled from source code) Dovecot v2.2.16 setup active on my Solaris-10 server, with mails stored in user's $HOME/Maildir The mails are fetched from the ISP with "fetchmail", using a "cron" job fetchmail -f $HOME/etc/pop3.myisp where the file "$HOME/etc/pop3.myisp" contains set logfile fetchmail.log poll pop.myisp.be with proto POP3 user myIspmailLogin there with password myIspPwd is rob here nokeep mda "/programs-3.2/amd64/64/libexec/dovecot/deliver" Now I want to get it also running on a Debian server, with the same Dovecot version, and exactly the same config files, but here I get the following messages in "/var/log/mail.log" when launching a "fetchmail" attempt : Mar 17 14:36:20 apps_b dovecot: lda(rob): Debug: Effective uid=1000, gid=1000, home=/home/rob Mar 17 14:36:20 apps_b dovecot: lda(rob): Debug: Namespace inbox: type=private, prefix=, sep=, inbox=no, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes location=maildir:~/Maildir Mar 17 14:36:20 apps_b dovecot: lda(rob): Error: User initialization failed: Namespace '': Unknown mail storage driver maildir Mar 17 14:36:20 apps_b dovecot: lda(rob): Fatal: Invalid user settings.

LMTP Proxy failure using master login via destuser field
by Dirk 17 Mar '19

17 Mar '19

Hi list, I set up dovecot as IMAP proxy using a master user to login into the backend and it works beautifully. 👍🏻 Next I set out to do LMTP proxying and I struggled (initially). I got the log message: Mar 17 11:23:44 mail postfix/lmtp[2665]: 99A3F219C8: to=<johnny(a)doe.com>, relay=10.15.1.2[10.15.1.2]:24, delay=5.1, delays=4.9/0.05/0.01/0.07, dsn=5.1.1, status=bounced (host 10.15.1.2[10.15.1.2] said: 550 5.1.1 <"johnny(a)doe.com*director"@mail.server.com> User doesn't exist: "johnny(a)doe.com*director"@mail.server.com (in reply to RCPT TO command)) My director's passdb setting looked like this: passdb { driver = sql args = /etc/dovecot/sql/my-passdb.conf result_success = continue-ok result_failure = return-fail result_internalfail = return-fail } # Add director master user credentials if above succeeded passdb { driver = static args = proxy=y starttls=any-cert \ destuser=%u*director(a)example.com \ pass=correcthorsebatterystaple \ nopassword=y skip = unauthenticated } In the end I found that setting the `master` field instead of `destuser` solves the issue. It looks like LMTP does not know how to handle the master user separator although set. I this known/wanted behavior? Maybe this is something to mention on the wiki page, it took a while to figure this out...

testing dovecot LMTP with postfix/spamassassin
by Marek Kozlowski 17 Mar '19

17 Mar '19

:-) My postfix configuration is quite complex with a lot of special cases and rules. However I'd like to make an anti-spam configuration as simple and lightweight as possible (KISS). /etc/postfix/master.cf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ smtp inet n - n - - smtpd -o content_filter=spamassassin spamassassin unix - n n - - pipe user=nobody argv=/usr/bin/vendor_perl/spamc -e /usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -f ${sender} ${recipient} ------------------------------------------------------------------------ then the simplest sieve rule I can think of: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ require "fileinto"; if header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" "YES" { fileinto "Spam"; } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I'd like to make this rule active for only local deliveries via dovecot LMTP with sieve plugin and setting postfix `mailbox_transport' to dovecot LMTP. I believe it is so simple it should work (am I wrong?). But... It would be more convenient to do some tests before applying changes to a production environment config. The problem is: I have no separate testing environment with my strange configuration I'm able to test a spamassassin score for an e-mail manually. How about dovecot LMTP? Can I test local mail delivery by dovecot LMTP manually? I mean: to simulate "I'm the Postfix" and produce for some testing e-mail the same effect as postfix granting it via `local_transport' to dovecot? Best regards, Marek

LMTP: Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender: User doesn't exist! :-(
by Marek Kozlowski 17 Mar '19

17 Mar '19

:-) I'm using postfix for mail delivery and dovecot for mailbox access imaps pop3s. Postfix resolves, verifies and overwrites users' addresses by numerous subtle LDAP queries. However users are visible as local ones (openldap, pam, nss) in the sense I can run `id' or `finger' queries and receive replies. Dovecot handles all mailboxes over imap/pop correctly with no additional configuration for LDAP. Just (10-mail.conf): mail_location = maildir:/mailboxes/%u and it works fine. Because I'd like to use pigeonhole I'm trying to make local delivery via dovecot LMTP (https://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/PostfixDovecotLMTP) I've configured the socket and added to `/etc/postfix/main.cf' the line: mailbox_transport = lmtp:unix:/var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp I think that id dovecot handles mailboxes correctly over imap/pop it can easily find the users and their mailboxes so it doesn't need any additional configuration for LDAP. Unfortunately it doesn't work and results in: Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender: User doesn't exist! :-( What's the thing I've missed? Best regards, Marek

Hello, I've setup Dovecot and Postfix mailing systems. The protocol is imap. Now, I've realized that there are no "sent items, drafts" boxed under Maildir for each users.

Hi there, Well.. I didn't find a way to strace imap. If I well understood, the faulty IMAP is launched by dovecot from or after a succesfull imap-login process.

ssl_dh

16 Mar '19

https://wiki.dovecot.org/SSL/DovecotConfiguration says: "Since v2.3.3+ Diffie-Hellman parameters have been made optional, and you are encouraged to disable non-ECC DH algorithms completely." and a bit later: "From version 2.3, you must specify path to DH parameters file using ssl_dh=</path/to/dh.pem" So. 1. Is ssl_dh an optional or a must? 2. I've disabled ssl_dh in my config. Dovecot works fine except it shows warnings: doveconf: Warning: please set ssl_dh=</etc/dovecot/dh.pem doveconf: Warning: You can generate it with: dd ... I'm using dovecot version 2.3.4.1-1~bpo9+1 from debian stretch-backports -- sergio.

Excuse dopey question. I'm not exactly clear about certificates. Apache2 default install has this snake oil certificate Can make a new one for apache Can make one for dovecot Can make one for ssl Is there supposed to be the one (self signed ) certificate pair in one place for the machine that each process hands out ? Can they be moved to another machine ? mick -- Key ID C7D6E24C

lua policy for Weakforce and web mail failed login attempts

Double quota calulation when special folder is present
by Bernd Wurst 15 Mar '19

15 Mar '19

Hello, we're operating dovecot on a small server. Some years ago, we migrated from courier IMAP to dovecot. Therefore, we defined our default Namespace "inbox" with prefix "INBOX." to have this compatible. I found this in some migration docs those days. Generally, everything worked as expected. Our only namespace is configured like this: namespace inbox { separator = . prefix = INBOX. inbox = yes } Regularly, there is no folder named INBOX or .INBOX in the file system, I suppose this is correct. But I found a special corner case today when it comes to quota calculation. When - for whatever reason - a folder .INBOX.foo (for arbitrary values of foo) exists, the whole mailbox is counted twice in quota recalculation. Just creating .INBOX does nothing but a subfolder triggers the problem. This is my shell view (replaced username and file path and deleted unnecessary debug output) $ cat maildirsize 268435456S 14697 17 $ maildirmake .INBOX.foo $ sudo doveadm -D quota recalc -u <user> [...] doveadm(<user>): Debug: Namespace inbox: type=private, prefix=INBOX., sep=., inbox=yes, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes location=maildir:/home/.../test doveadm(<user>): Debug: maildir++: root=/home/.../test, index=, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=/home/.../test, alt= doveadm(<user>): Debug: Namespace : type=private, prefix=, sep=, inbox=no, hidden=yes, list=no, subscriptions=no location=fail::LAYOUT=none doveadm(<user>): Debug: none: root=, index=, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=, alt= doveadm(<user>): Debug: quota: quota_over_flag check: quota_over_script unset - skipping doveadm(<user>): Debug: Quota root User quota: Recalculated relative rules with bytes=268435456 count=0. Now grace=26843545 doveadm(<user>): Debug: Namespace INBOX.: Using permissions from /home/.../test: mode=0700 gid=default $ cat maildirsize 268435456S 29394 34 So the used quota has exactly been doubled by just creating an empty subfolder. Do you have any pointers for fixing my configuration or is this a bug in dovecot? regards, Bernd

Upgrading to 2.3

I haven't upgraded to dovecot 2.3 yet, but am looking into doing it. I thought there was a link to some of the issues and changes you needed to make to your configuration to go from 2.2 to 2.3, but now I cannot find it. -- Science is the foot that kicks magic square in the nuts.

ACL Folders are open but not being displayed ? [2.3.3]
by Kunal A. 15 Mar '19

15 Mar '19

Hey, Could someone help figure out whats wrong with my config based on the debug below? What I am trying to achieve is to get email1(a)example.com to read emails in the Public directory that is stored on /run/media/computer/Storage/Email/fastmail/Archive with the preface Public/Archive . The ACL has been set for anyone with permissions to lookup,read,write as shown below:- doveadm acl get -u email1(a)example.com Public/Archive ID Global Rights anyone lookup read write But when I try to access the emails for email1(a)example.com , there are no folders. Could someone here help review my debug log and advise what could be causing this (dovecot -n output is provided below the debug message) Many thanks for assistance.

dovecot.conf "local hostname" uses only one resolved value
by James 14 Mar '19

14 Mar '19

https://wiki.dovecot.org/SSL/DovecotConfiguration#Different_certificates_pe… says: local 192.0.2.10 { # instead of IP you can also use hostname, which will be resolved However if the name resolves to multiple values only one is used. Test. Choose any name with multiple values, I created a local name: $ nslookup multi.lan Server: 127.0.0.1 Address: 127.0.0.1#53 Name: multi.lan Address: 192.168.1.2 Name: multi.lan Address: 192.168.1.3 Name: multi.lan Address: 192.168.1.1 Minimal dovecot.conf: local multi.lan { protocol imap { ssl_cert = </path/to/certs/multi.lan.crt ssl_key = </path/to/certs/multi.lan.key } } $ dovecot -n -c dovecot.conf # 2.3.5 (513208660): dovecot.conf ... local 192.168.1.2 { protocol imap { ssl_cert = </path/to/certs/multi.crt ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it } } Only 192.168.1.2 appears. In my real case with A and AAAA records, only the AAAA record is used. Testing with "openssl s_client -starttls imap ..." gives me the wrong certificate for the IPv4 address. Workaround: specify all addresses and do not use lookup. James.

dovecot/config processes one more time - which are safe to kill?
by Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz 14 Mar '19

14 Mar '19

Hello. The problem with dovecot/config processes never ending and spawning new one on each reload (https://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2016-November/106058.html) is becoming a problem here: # ps aux|grep dovecot/config|wc -l 206 That's a lot of wasted memory - dovecot/config processes ate over 30GB of ram on 64GB box. Before killing dovecot/config processes: # free -m total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 64437 61656 483 0 2297 after: # free -m total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 64437 23676 37822 0 2939 Currently on dovecot 2.3.3. I guess it's very low priority to handle that, so: how can I figure out which dovecot/config processes are safe to be killed by external script? Does "all beside 2 newest ones" rule look sane?

Quota questions
by Peter Hudec 14 Mar '19

14 Mar '19

Hi all, I’m a little bit confused about the quota plugin in dovecot and fighting the the issues the people had years ago. I spent readingg the old archives and the mailing list for 3 days and not able to get work some features. Single user quota is fine and simple, the group quota /for example domain based/ makes me unhappy. Setup: CentOS7, dovecot comunity repo, dovecot 2.3.5 1) domain quota recalc domain quota recalc do not work properly. The domain qouta usage is worknig well, hwhen receiving/deleting mail, generaly if the operations are incremental. But if I run domain quota recalc, the doveadm is setting the domain quota after each user calculation, that means the domain quota is set to the last user. 2) multiple quota roots and rules According the documentation, there could be possible, from the sample configuration file # Multiple quota roots are also possible, for example this gives each user # their own 100MB quota and one shared 1GB quota within the domain plugin { quota = dict:User quota::proxy::quota quota2 = dict:Group quota:%d:proxy::quota_domain quota_rule = *:storage=1024M quota2_rule = *:storage=2048M } But If I run [TEST] root(a)mail-store01.test.host.sk: /etc/dovecot # doveadm quota get -u '*' Username Quota name Type Value Limit % test01(a)test.host.sk User quota STORAGE 1 1024 0 test01(a)test.host.sk User quota MESSAGE 1 - 0 test01(a)test.host.sk Group quota STORAGE 7 - 0 test01(a)test.host.sk Group quota MESSAGE 3 - 0 test03(a)test.host.sk User quota STORAGE 7 1024 0 test03(a)test.host.sk User quota MESSAGE 3 - 0 test03(a)test.host.sk Group quota STORAGE 7 - 0 test03(a)test.host.sk Group quota MESSAGE 3 - 0 The idea is to have overall domain quota, but for user able to set it’s personal quota. regards Peter

dovecot-keywords are not preserved any more when moving mails between folders

replication dropped imap flags
by Patrick Cernko 14 Mar '19

14 Mar '19

Hi list, I think, I found a bug in the replication setup, that drops (custom) flags like Thunderbird labels. I have set up a simple 2 node setup to reproduce and explain it: Host adove.mpi-klsb.mpg.de and bdove.mpi-klsb.mpg.de (doveconf -n attached) have dovecot-imapd (from repo.dovecot.org) installed on an ext4 filesystem. They only have one account "test" via /etc/dovecot/userdb ("test:testpassword:::Test User::/bin/bash:"). It's mailbox contains one message, that is flagged with "$label1": doveadm -f flow fetch -u test 'guid flags' ALL guid=d1516a2b5c08fc5b541d00005a350039 flags=\Recent $label1 Now I simulate a node reinstall on adove by uninstalling dovecot, removing all remnants, reinstalling and configuring it again: apt purge dovecot-core dovecot-imapd rm -rf /var/vmail /var/lib/dovecot /etc/dovecot apt install dovecot-imapd # disable system auth : > /etc/dovecot/conf.d/auth-system.conf.ext # create /var/vmail install -d -o nobody -g nogroup -m 700 /var/vmail # create userdb echo 'test:testpassword:::Test User::/bin/bash:' > /etc/dovecot/userdb # create /etc/dovecot/local.conf # not described here, the resulting doveconf -n is attached! service dovecot restart When I check the flags of the mail of user test now, the "$label1" is disapeared on both machines, even after "doveadm replicator replicate -f test": doveadm -f flow fetch -u test 'guid flags' ALL guid=d1516a2b5c08fc5b541d00005a350039 flags=\Recent Any hints what I am doing wrong here or is this really a bug?

Am I right to assume certificate renewal with the same filename requires a dovecot reload/restart
by Guido Goluke, MajorLabel 14 Mar '19

14 Mar '19

Running dovecot 2.2, apologies if this question has been asked before: I've done the research but couldn't find anything. I run a server that uses dovecot as a MUA for Postfix and have a Let's Encrypt certificate that auto-renews through certbot on Ubuntu server 16.04. Dovecot did not pick up on the new certificate for the hostname. It did after a restart. To be clear: Let's Encrypt overwrites the previous certificate using the same path and filename. Am I right to assume that Dovecot needs a reload/restart after the certificate has been renewed in order to 'pick up' on the new certificate and if so, would I require a reload or a restart? Thank you in advance -- MajorLabel

I have the following configuration in place: /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf:mail_plugins = $mail_plugins quota zlib /etc/dovecot/conf.d/20-imap.conf: mail_plugins = $mail_plugins imap_quota /etc/dovecot/conf.d/90-quota.conf: plugin { #quota = dirsize:User quota #quota = maildir:User quota #quota = dict:User quota::proxy::quota #quota = fs:User quota:user quota = fs:user } The logs report the following error each time quota is requested: Mar 11 17:56:20 mail.xxxxxxx.xx dovecot[4923]: imap(xxxx): Error: Failed to get quota resource STORAGE: quota-fs: quotactl(Q_GETQUOTA, /dev/vda1) failed: No such file or directory I have no idea of which file or directory is missing. Any advice is welcome. Thanks and best regards, - Eric Grammatico _/)

recipient bcc and dovecot

I have a recipient_bcc_maps which contains a bcc map that is updated everyday: rbcc.pcre: if !/backup.*@/ /^([^+_]*).*(a)([^.]*)/ backup+071.${1}-${2}(a)adomain.tld endif the 071 portion is changed each day to the current day of the year. Everything works, but I get an error from dovecot on every message: lda(backup(a)adomain.tld): Error: User initialization failed: Namespace '': Ambiguous mail location setting, don't know what to do with it: /usr/local/virtual/backup(a)adomain.tld (try prefixing it with mbox: or maildir:) The mail is delivered two the right directory anyway, but after a temporary failure. I'd like to eliminate the error. the backup user is not a 'real' user (it is not in the lookup map) so should I bypass dovecot entirely in delivering these messages? (and if so, how) If not, where/how would I add the prefix maildir: Is there something I can add to dovecot to specifically deal with messages coming in to backup(a)adomain.tld and add the maildir: specification there? (Still on dovecot 2.2.35) -- And sometimes there's a short cut. A door or a gate. Some standing stones. A tree cleft by lightning, a filing cabinet. Maybe just a spot on some moorland somewhere... A place where THERE is very nearly HERE... If some people knew where such a spot was, if they had experience of what happens when here and there become entangled, then they might - if they knew how - mark such a spot with certain stones. In the hope that enough daft buggers would take it as a warning and keep away. (Lords and Ladies)
