macOS Mojave: setgroups(501) failed: Too many extra groups
by Heiko W. Rupp 18 Nov '18

18 Nov '18

Hello, I have recently upgraded to macOS 10.14 (Mojave) and am running into an issue where one use can no longer log into dovecot via imap. Log shows Oct 11 08:10:27 imap(hwr)<12659><YpC/0+133+EAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB>: Fatal: setgroups(501) failed: Too many extra groups and indeed, the user is in 17 groups, which is more than NGROUPS_MAX (16). Another user with << 16 groups can log in fine. Unfortunately it is not (easily) doable to reduce the number of groups, as macOS seems to set them internally. Is there a config option that I am missing to work around this? Looking at the source, I see this is handled in src/lib/restrict-access.c::fix_groups_list(), where above the call to setgroups() a gid_list2 is constructed. I wonder if one could have a config option to prevent adding all those extra groups, which then make the call to setgroups() fail Any help appreciated Heiko -- hwr(a)pilhuhn.de m:0179/207 4919 b:http://pilhuhn.blogspot.com

Re: Issue sharing folders with Thunderbird

Hi Aki I see what you are saying, and no I don’t believe so. I’m using typical /etc/passwd for the user db. I reviewed https://wiki.dovecot.org/UserDatabase/ExtraFields <https://wiki.dovecot.org/UserDatabase/ExtraFields> but I’m not clear on how to actually return system_user userdb attribute. I also have set mail_user_groups = sharedusers in dovecot.conf and then in /etc/group put all the users with mailboxes into the sharedusers group. I can see why that wouldn’t work if the above is not set. Can you point me in the right direction on how to pass that information?

For example, lets say user u2.name creates a folder called “starbucks” and uses the IMAP commands to share it out to user operations. It seems to write to the acl_shared_dict file in /var/lib/dovecot/db/shared-mailboxes.db with an entry like >> shared/shared-boxes/user/u2.name/operations >> 1 > > And it writes to the ~/Maildir/.starbucks/dovecot-acl file for u2.user with an entry like: > user=operations lrw > > So it appears to be working.

Mail slowed down to a crawl...
by StarionTech (IMAP) 16 Nov '18

16 Nov '18

Been moving along just fine for a couple years now, then in the last two days, email has slowed to a crawl. Retrieving email via IMAP is very slow, progress bar in the mail client shows that it is downloading messages almost constantly, like it never closes the connection, or it’s getting the messages very slowly. The server that dovecot/postfix is on has also bogged down to a crawl. The postfix queue is sitting with hundreds of queued up good customer email. It’s almost acting like dovecot is not getting the messages from postfix, or they’re being delayed for some reason. How to approach fixing this? Jeff J.

huge increase in storage activity afther dovecot upgrade

Hi, we upgraded our servers from version 2.2.13 to 2.2.27. After the upgrade we notice a 10x increase in traffic with the nfs storage an errors like this in the logfile: Nov 12 09:48:16 mail dovecot: imap(...): Error: Corrupted index cache file /.../dovecot.index.cache: invalid record size Nov 12 09:48:16 mail dovecot: imap(...): Error: unlink(/.../dovecot.index.cache) failed: No such file or directory (in mail-cache.c:29) Nov 12 09:48:16 mail dovecot: imap(...): Error: Corrupted index cache file /.../dovecot.index.cache: invalid record size Nov 12 09:48:16 mail dovecot: imap(...): Error: Broken file /.../dovecot-uidlist line 8: Invalid data: Is this normal ?

dovecot 2.2/openssl 1.0 vs dovecot 2.3/openssl 1.1.1 ssl regression
by Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz 15 Nov '18

15 Nov '18

Hi. I'm considering dovecot migration from 2.2.36 run with openssl 1.0.2o to dovecot 2.3.3 run with openssl 1.1.1. Currently I have both variants running with identical configs and certs (the only differences are due to config syntax changes in dovecot 2.3), so for example on both I have: ssl_ca = </etc/openssl/certs/wildcard_ca.pem (this file contains single intermediate certificate of my CA) ssl_cert = </etc/openssl/certs/wildcard_crt.pem (this contains single cerificate for my *.example.com domain) ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it (and one key) No alt certs in use. Chain is: - CA trusted by clients (this certificate isn't provided by my dovecot, it's not needed) - wildcard_ca.pem - intermediate CA - wildcard_crt.pem - wildcard certificate for my *.example.com domain dovecot 2.2.36 behaviour is to provide wildcard_ca.pem and wildcard_crt.pem to the client - that behaviour is OK. Client has full trust chain. dovecot 2.3.3 provides only wildcard_crt.pem certificate to the client which is a big problem because missing wildcard_ca.pem (intermediate certificate) breaks chain and client is not able to verify trust chain. Testing is done with simple: openssl s_client -connect my.example.com:143 -starttls imap -servername my.example.com -showcerts 2.3.x announcements and upgrade wiki mention no such behaviour change, so I assume it is a regression. Now doing cat wildcard_ca.pem >> wildcard_crt.pem solves the problem and dovecot starts providing both certs to clients but if that's the proper way of solving this issue then what's the point of having ssl_ca config setting? Ideas? -- Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz, arekm / ( maven.pl | pld-linux.org )

FETCH BODY vs FETCH BODYSTRUCTURE + FETCH BODY.PEEK
by Alessio Cecchi 15 Nov '18

15 Nov '18

Hello, we are developing a web page, for a ticket system, to show the email messages ordered by the biggest attachments size present in an IMAP folder, with a pagination of 100 messages per page. Each raw represents a message with "DATE, FROM, SUBJECT, the preview (the first 500 chars of the text/html of the messsage) and the list of the attachments (name + size) it contains. The problem is that the page load is VERY slow because we fetch the entire BODY of all 100 messages, in order to get the preview and the attachments name and size. Now, considering that each messages can contain up to 50 MB of attachments, we risk to download 5000MB from IMAP for every page. An option might be to perform two FETCH for each message: - one fetch with just the BODYSTRUCTURE (where we can get the attachments name and size and the text/html parts). - one fetch with the body parts (BODY.PEEK[]) we need to build the preview (text + html). We are wondering if there is a single FETCH command to get the text and html parts (needed to build the preview) with only the name and the size of the attachments without downloading the entire message. Thanks. -- Alessio Cecchi Postmaster @ http://www.qboxmail.it https://www.linkedin.com/in/alessice

Dovecot proxy: per user/domain 'namespace/inbox/prefix' from MySQL
by Adi Pircalabu 15 Nov '18

15 Nov '18

As a way to try and avoid using "prefix = INBOX." ad infinitum for the inbox namespace, I'm looking for ways to move on to "prefix =" for new mail accounts, and grandfather the existing ones. Previously running Courier-IMAP, now Dovecot, I looked at https://wiki.dovecot.org/Namespaces#Backwards_Compatibility:_Courier_IMAP and decided it's too risky to go down that path and use namespace compat, with so many IMAP clients out there the scope of testing is huge and the outcome is uncertain and not worth it. After reading https://wiki.dovecot.org/Namespaces#Per-user_Namespace_Location_From_SQL I thought I might be able to overwrite the server configuration per user returning 'namespace/inbox/prefix' value from SQL. Here's the setup I attempted, briefly: 1. Client connects to the Dovecot proxy, which authenticates the user and proxies to the backend using a query like this in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/dovecot-sql.conf.ext: driver = mysql connect = <connection_string> password_query = SELECT NULL AS password, 'Y' as nopassword, host, 'any-cert' as 'starttls', 'Y' AS proxy FROM mailbox WHERE email = '%u' AND disabled_smtpauth=0 Works a treat. 2. Next, I'm trying to add the prefix lookup in the picture. In the same file I've added: user_query = SELECT ns_inbox_prefix AS 'namespace/inbox/prefix' FROM mailbox WHERE email = '%u' AND disabled_smtpauth=0 3. The mailbox table schema reads: CREATE TABLE `mailbox` ( `id` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `email` varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT '', `password` varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT '', `clear_password` varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT '', `name` varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT '', `host` varchar(32) DEFAULT NULL, `port` varchar(32) DEFAULT NULL, `ns_inbox_prefix` varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT '', `lastlog_remote_ips` bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT 0, `curlog_remote_ips` bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT 0, `disabled_smtpauth` tinyint(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT 0, `last_modified` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT current_timestamp() ON UPDATE current_timestamp(), PRIMARY KEY (`id`), UNIQUE KEY `email` (`email`) ) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=1 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1; The 2 queries above return: MariaDB [postfix]> SELECT NULL AS password, 'Y' as nopassword, host, 'any-cert' as 'starttls', 'Y' AS proxy FROM mailbox WHERE email = 'adi2(a)0aditest.local' AND disabled_smtpauth=0; +----------+------------+----------------+----------+-------+ | password | nopassword | host | starttls | proxy | +----------+------------+----------------+----------+-------+ | NULL | Y | 192.168.123.24 | any-cert | Y | +----------+------------+----------------+----------+-------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) MariaDB [postfix]> SELECT ns_inbox_prefix AS 'namespace/inbox/prefix' FROM mailbox WHERE email = 'adi2(a)0aditest.local' AND disabled_smtpauth=0; +------------------------+ | namespace/inbox/prefix | +------------------------+ | | +------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) After reloading dovecot service with auth_debug = yes are the maillog for an IMAP session: Nov 15 12:43:48 proxy1 dovecot: auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth Nov 15 12:43:48 proxy1 dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/lib20_auth_var_expand_crypt.so Nov 15 12:43:48 proxy1 dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libdriver_mysql.so Nov 15 12:43:48 proxy1 dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libdriver_sqlite.so Nov 15 12:43:48 proxy1 dovecot: auth: Debug: Read auth token secret from /var/run/dovecot/auth-token-secret.dat Nov 15 12:43:48 proxy1 dovecot: auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=7527) Nov 15 12:43:53 proxy1 dovecot: auth: Debug: client in: AUTH#0111#011PLAIN#011service=imap#011secured#011session=AorrLqp6drgAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB#011lip=::1#011rip=::1#011lport=1143#011rport=47222#011resp=<hidden> Nov 15 12:43:53 proxy1 dovecot: auth: Debug: sql(adi2@0aditest.local,::1,<AorrLqp6drgAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB>): cache miss Nov 15 12:43:53 proxy1 dovecot: auth-worker(7533): Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth Nov 15 12:43:53 proxy1 dovecot: auth-worker(7533): Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/lib20_auth_var_expand_crypt.so Nov 15 12:43:53 proxy1 dovecot: auth-worker(7533): Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libdriver_mysql.so Nov 15 12:43:53 proxy1 dovecot: auth-worker(7533): Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libdriver_sqlite.so Nov 15 12:43:53 proxy1 dovecot: auth-worker(7533): Debug: sql(adi2@0aditest.local,::1,<AorrLqp6drgAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB>): query: SELECT NULL AS password, 'Y' as nopassword, host, 'any-cert' as 'starttls', 'Y' AS proxy FROM mailbox WHERE email = 'adi2(a)0aditest.local' AND disabled_smtpauth=0 Nov 15 12:43:53 proxy1 dovecot: auth: Debug: client passdb out: OK#0111#011user=adi2@0aditest.local#011host=192.168.123.24#011starttls=any-cert#011proxy#011pass=<hidden> Nov 15 12:43:53 proxy1 dovecot: imap-login: Invalid certificate: [...] Nov 15 12:43:53 proxy1 dovecot: imap-login: Invalid certificate: [...] Nov 15 12:43:53 proxy1 dovecot: imap-login: Invalid certificate: [...] Nov 15 12:43:53 proxy1 dovecot: imap-login: Invalid certificate: [...] Nov 15 12:43:53 proxy1 dovecot: imap-login: Invalid certificate: [...] Nov 15 12:43:53 proxy1 dovecot: imap-login: proxy(adi2(a)0aditest.local): started proxying to 192.168.123.24:143: user=<adi2(a)0aditest.local>, method=PLAIN, rip=::1, lip=::1, secured, session=<AorrLqp6drgAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB> Looks like user_query isn't executed, why?

autoexpunged in IMAP logout format
by Alessio Cecchi 14 Nov '18

14 Nov '18

Hi, in my imap_logout_format I register %{deleted} %{expunged} %{trashed} but now I saw that is available also %{autoexpunged}. Is necessary to add also %{autoexpunged} in logout format to have the count of all deleted email via IMAP?

execute sieve command - fails to notice script has exited
by Lionel Elie Mamane 13 Nov '18

13 Nov '18

Hi, Running dovecot 2.2.27 (c0f36b0) on Debian GNU/Linux stable (version 9.6), I'm trying to use the execute command in a sieve script, with direct execution (not service socket). The script is executed, and returns (the process exits), but the dovecot-lda process seems to not notice, and thinks the script did not terminate. After sieve_execute_exec_timeout has passed, it sends a TERM, a bit later a KILL and then logs a failure. The "ps -Af f" looks like: S 0:00 \_ /usr/sbin/exim4 -Mc 1gMazS-0007IV-RB S 0:00 \_ /usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda -f master(a)blitz.conuropsis.org Z 0:00 | \_ [foofilter] <defunct> S 0:00 \_ /usr/sbin/exim4 -Mc 1gMazS-0007IV-RB The dovecot debug log looks like: lda(user): Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules lda(user): Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lib90_sieve_plugin.so lda(user): Debug: Effective uid=1000, gid=1000, home=/home/user lda(user): Debug: maildir++: root=/home/user/Maildir, index=, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=/home/user/Maildir, alt= lda(user): Debug: userdb lookup skipped, username taken from USER environment lda(user): Debug: none: root=, index=, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=, alt= lda(user): Debug: Destination address: user(a)blitz.conuropsis.org (source: user@hostname) lda(user): Debug: sieve: Pigeonhole version 0.4.16 (fed8554) initializing lda(user): Debug: sieve: include: sieve_global is not set; it is currently not possible to include `:global' scripts. lda(user): Debug: sieve: Sieve imapsieve plugin for Pigeonhole version 0.4.16 (fed8554) loaded lda(user): Debug: sieve: Sieve Extprograms plugin for Pigeonhole version 0.4.16 (fed8554) loaded lda(user): Debug: sieve: file storage: Using active Sieve script path: /data/home/user/.dovecot.sieve lda(user): Debug: sieve: file storage: Using script storage path: /home/user/sieve lda(user): Debug: sieve: file storage: Relative path to sieve storage in active link: sieve/ lda(user): Debug: sieve: file storage: Using Sieve script path: /data/home/user/.dovecot.sieve lda(user): Debug: sieve: file script: Opened script `test-foofilter' from `/data/home/user/.dovecot.sieve' lda(user): Debug: sieve: Using the following location for user's Sieve script: /data/home/user/.dovecot.sieve lda(user): Debug: Mailbox stdin: Opened mail UID=1 because: header Message-ID (Cache file is unusable) lda(user): Debug: sieve: Opening script 1 of 1 from `/data/home/user/.dovecot.sieve' lda(user): Debug: sieve: Loading script /data/home/user/.dovecot.sieve lda(user): Debug: sieve: Script binary /data/home/user/.dovecot.svbin successfully loaded lda(user): Debug: sieve: binary save: not saving binary /data/home/user/.dovecot.svbin, because it is already stored lda(user): Debug: sieve: Executing script from `/data/home/user/.dovecot.svbin' lda(user): Debug: sieve: action execute: running program: foofilter lda(user): Debug: Mailbox stdin: Opened mail UID=1 because: mail stream lda(user): Debug: waiting for program `/usr/local/lib/dovecot/sieve-execute/foofilter' to finish after 0 msecs lda(user): Debug: program `/usr/local/lib/dovecot/sieve-execute/foofilter'(24669) execution timed out after 2000 milliseconds: sending TERM signal lda(user): Debug: program `/usr/local/lib/dovecot/sieve-execute/foofilter' (24669) did not die after 5000 milliseconds: sending KILL signal and an strace on the dovecot-lda process shows it is in an "epoll_wait(9 ....".

Proxy + 2x static passdb not working as expected
by Michael Goth 13 Nov '18

13 Nov '18

Hi all, I'm trying to setup a Dovecot proxy that authenticates the user against two backend servers. If login server1 fails, server2 should be tried. The problem: Only the first server seems to be tried, even if the login fails. Config snippet: protocol imap { passdb { driver = static args = proxy=y nopassword=y host=oldserver1.example.com port=993 ssl=y } passdb { driver = static args = proxy=y nopassword=y host=oldserver2.example.com port=993 ssl=y } } With this config, only accounts on oldserver1.example.com can login. If I reverse the two passdb entries, only accounts on oldserver2.example.com can login. I've done the same with SQL passdb first + static passdb second. That worked as expected. Not sure what I'm doing wrong here. Attached is the output of doveconf -n Thanks Michael Mit freundlichen Grüßen -- Michael Goth .webflow GmbH Geschäftsführer: Andreas Schrei Wasserburger Straße 4 D - 83352 Altenmarkt a. d.

dsync / doveadm sync problem
by admin＠awib.it 13 Nov '18

13 Nov '18

Hi, I had an old dovecot server with a working backup script. Basic concept was: - to dsync to a temp folder - using tar to preserve datetime - piping this 7z to benefit from my 16 core cpu - piping this through openssl to encrypt Over time the size of all my mail grew from 3GB to about 70GB. I used to keep the last 14 backups, but this uses a lot of space. I now want to dsync my Maildir onto my NAS via NFS and use the backup tool provided by Synology to have incremental compressed backup. However I cannot get dsync to run. root@mail:/mnt/backup_mail# dsync -f -u USER@DOMAIN backup maildir:/mnt/backup_mail/MAILSERVER_FQDN/DOMAIN/USER/mail dsync(USER@DOMAIN): Error: User initialization failed: Namespace '': stat(/mnt/backup_mail/MAILSERVER_FQDN/DOMAIN/USER/mail) failed: Permission denied (euid=1001(vmail) egid=1001(vmail) missing +x perm: /mnt/backup_mail, UNIX perms appear ok (ACL/MAC wrong?)) root@mail:/mnt/backup_mail# dsync -u USER@DOMAIN backup maildir:/mnt/backup_mail/MAILSERVER_FQDN/DOMAIN/USER/mail dsync(USER@DOMAIN): Error: User initialization failed: Namespace '': stat(/mnt/backup_mail/MAILSERVER_FQDN/DOMAIN/USER/mail) failed: Permission denied (euid=1001(vmail) egid=1001(vmail) missing +x perm: /mnt/backup_mail, dir owner missing perms) ——— Error message changed after removing „-f“. I then applied the folder permissions (chmod +x backup_mail/) and I get a different error: root@mail:/mnt/backup_mail# dsync -f -u USER@DOMAIN backup maildir:/mnt/backup_mail/MAILSERVER_FQDN/DOMAIN/USER/mail dsync(USER@DOMAIN): Error: User initialization failed: namespace configuration error: All list=yes namespaces must use the same separator I found something about the namespace issue, but did not quite understand I guess. (separators seem to differ) From doveconf -n: [...] namespace { list = children location = maildir:/var/vmail/mailboxes/%%d/%%n/Maildir:INDEXPVT=~/Maildir/shared/%%u prefix = shared/%%u/ separator = / subscriptions = yes type = shared } namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { auto = subscribe special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Sent { auto = subscribe special_use = \Sent } mailbox Spam { auto = subscribe autoexpunge = 30 days special_use = \Junk } mailbox Trash { auto = subscribe autoexpunge = 183 days special_use = \Trash } prefix = } […] ——— However I only set up the namespace for inbox. root@mail:/mnt/backup_mail# doveconf namespace gives namespace { disabled = no hidden = no ignore_on_failure = no inbox = no list = children location = maildir:/var/vmail/mailboxes/%%d/%%n/Maildir:INDEXPVT=~/Maildir/shared/%%u order = 0 prefix = shared/%%u/ separator = / subscriptions = yes type = shared } namespace inbox { disabled = no hidden = no ignore_on_failure = no inbox = yes list = yes location = mailbox Drafts { auto = subscribe autoexpunge = 0 autoexpunge_max_mails = 0 comment = driver = special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Sent { auto = subscribe autoexpunge = 0 autoexpunge_max_mails = 0 comment = driver = special_use = \Sent } mailbox Spam { auto = subscribe autoexpunge = 60 days autoexpunge_max_mails = 0 comment = driver = special_use = \Junk } mailbox Trash { auto = subscribe autoexpunge = 60 days autoexpunge_max_mails = 0 comment = driver = special_use = \Trash } order = 0 prefix = separator = subscriptions = yes type = private } I guess here we see the config including defaults. Well… I think I only need the inbox namespace either way, so I tried: root@mail:/mnt/backup_mail# dsync -f -u USER@DOMAIN backup maildir:/mnt/backup_mail/MAILSERVER_FQDN/DOMAIN/USER/mail/ -n inbox dsync-local(USER@DOMAIN): Error: read(remote) failed: EOF (version not received) doveadm(USER@DOMAIN): Fatal: execvp(maildir:/mnt/backup_mail/MAILSERVER_FQDN/DOMAIN/USER/mail/) failed: No such file or directory dsync-local(USER@DOMAIN): Error: Remote command process isn't dying, killing it dsync-local(USER@DOMAIN): Error: kill(15306, SIGKILL) failed: Operation not permitted The folder (mnt/backup_mail/MAILSERVER_FQDN/DOMAIN/USER/mail) however does exist. Can anybody tell me if there is something I miss? Thanks in advance! -M

I lost the whole maildir from my server fro 3 users. They all have iPhones with all the messages safely stored on the Apple Mail app on their phone. There is no way to export them/move them. Is there a way to get Dovecot to just download all the messages and folder structure from the client and restore it on the server? Your help is very very much appreciated. Thanks, ttyllc
