'duplicate listener' on port 465
by William David Edwards 08 Jul '25

08 Jul '25

Hi, When configuring SMTPS as described on https://doc.dovecot.org/main/core/config/submission.html#smtps, Dovecot says there is a 'duplicate listener'. MRE: ``` root@dovecot24-test:/etc/dovecot/conf.d# doveconf -n # 2.4.1-4+debian12 (7d8c0e5759): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 2.4.1-4+debian12 (0a86619f) # OS: Linux 6.1.0-29-amd64 x86_64 Debian 12.11 # Hostname: dovecot24-test.cyberfusion.nl # 4 default setting changes since version 2.4.0 dovecot_config_version = 2.4.0 dovecot_storage_version = 2.4.0 protocols = submission service submission-login { inet_listener submission_465 { port = 465 } } doveconf: Error: duplicate listener: 465:* doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf: duplicate listener: 465:* ``` Can anyone help me understand why this listener would be 'duplicate'? This setup worked on 2.3.21.1. Thanks! William David Edwards

Access issue with public/shared mailboxes after migrating to v2.4.x
by Juergen Edner 08 Jul '25

08 Jul '25

Hi all, I'm currently trying to get my public/shared mailbox access working again after migration to 2.4.1. I thought I would have done all required changes, but Dovecot 2.4.1 seems to act slightly different than 2.3.x. I've tried to understand what is wrong, read the documentation multiple times and searched the internet for a solution, but unfortunately without final success. I hope you can shed some light on how to get the original behavior back. Let me explain my original setup, which worked for years without any issues. I've setup the following shared folders as an adminstrator and set the access right on a directly level, e.g. /home/imapshared imapshared:users 0770 /home/imapshared/.Parents imapshared:parents 0770 /home/imapshared/.Kids imapshared:kids 0770 This was my working Dovecot 2.3 configuration: namespace { type = shared separator = / prefix = '#Shared/' location = maildir:/home/imapshared:INDEXPVT=~/.imapmail/shared subscriptions = no } User, who were allowed to access the folder, got e.g. the 'parents' or 'kids' group assigned as secondary group, the primary one is 'users'. Based on the documentation I've modified the Dovecot 2.4 configuration as follows: namespace shared { type = shared mail_driver = maildir separator = / prefix = '#Shared/' mail_path = /home/imapshared mail_index_private_path = ~/.imapmail/shared subscriptions = no } This is what I already found out or tried to adjust: - I found out that the shared folder can be accessed if the shared folder system group is set to 'users' (primary group), but by default not if a system group is used which is the secondary group of a user (e.g. parents or kids) - In the documentation I found a hint, that Dovecot by default would now only accept the primary group. By setting the following parameter additional groups should also be accepted: mail_access_groups = yes Unfortunately, that doesn't restore the orinal functionality. - In the documentation I found a hint, that all folders which have been created by an administrator, should now be of type 'public' but changing that setting doesn't work either. "It's important that the namespace type is "public" regardless of whether you set the namespace prefix to "shared." or something else." This is the error which is logged, which is not true: Error: maildir: stat(/home/imapshared/.Parents/tmp) failed: Permission denied (euid=2000(father) egid=100(users) missing +x perm: /home/imapshared/.Parents, we're not in group 203(parents), dir owned by 2226:203 mode=0770) This is the user used to access the folder: uid=2000(father) gid=100(users) groups=100(users), ..., 203(parents), ... Do you have any idea or hint how to solve this issue and provide an example what needs to be modified in my configuration to get the original functionality back?

Pigeonhole releases
by Aleksandr Mezin 07 Jul '25

07 Jul '25

Hi. I've been using https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.4/ to monitor when new releases are published. Now that URL suddenly returns 403. Was it an intentional change? Why? Also, https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/download.html still points to v2.4.0 https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.4/dovecot-pigeonhole-2.4.0.tar.gz as the latest release. Even though a newer v2.4.1-4 https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.4/dovecot-pigeonhole-2.4.1-4.tar.… was published more than 2 months ago. Also, is it v2.4.1-4 or v2.4.1? The Git tag is `2.4.1` https://github.com/dovecot/pigeonhole/releases/tag/2.4.1 but the attached tarball name ends with `-2.4.1-4` (as well as the name of the tarball on https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/) What does the `-4` suffix mean? Will it be present in future versions?

pigeonhole permission errors regarding bin_path
by jasper＠jappie.dev 06 Jul '25

06 Jul '25

Hi, While trying to use the `sieve_script_bin_path` option to have Pigeonhole auto-create directories for compiled sieve scripts, I ran into some permission issues: "Error: sieve: binary /run/dovecot2/sieve/jasper/84lkfddk8d88ib7zh3zh6hmy5lrvn54x-after.svbin: save: failed to create temporary file: open(/run/dovecot2/sieve/jasper/84lkfddk8d88ib7zh3zh6hmy5lrvn54x-after.svbin.) failed: Permission denied (euid=986(dovemail) egid=985(dovemail) missing +w perm: /run/dovecot2/sieve/jasper, dir owner missing perms)" I'm using `bin_path` like this: `sieve_script_bin_path = "/run/dovecot2/sieve/%{user|username|lower}";` and the permissions of the `sieve` directory are as follows: ``` $ ls -lah sieve total 0 drwxr-xrwx 3 root root 60 Jul 5 13:01 . drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 780 Jul 5 13:00 .. dr-xr-xr-x 2 dovemail dovemail 40 Jul 5 13:01 jasper ``` `strace`ing Dovecot shows that it uses `0555` when creating this directory (but not before setting `umask` to `000`?): ``` 260940 newfstatat(AT_FDCWD</var/vmail/jappie.dev/jasper>, "/run/dovecot2/sieve/jasper", 0x7fff4306af00, 0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 260940 umask(000) = 077 260940 mkdir("/run/dovecot2/sieve/jasper", 0555) = 0 260940 umask(077) = 000 ``` I also tried patching Pigeonhole's source to log the value of `mode`: ``` diff --git a/src/lib-sieve/sieve-storage.c b/src/lib-sieve/sieve-storage.c index e68fe39f..4c7a081f 100644 --- a/src/lib-sieve/sieve-storage.c +++ b/src/lib-sieve/sieve-storage.c @@ -887,6 +887,6 @@ int sieve_storage_setup_bin_path(struct sieve_storage *storage, mode_t mode) if (mkdir_parents(bin_path, mode) == 0) { e_debug(storage->event, - "Created directory for binaries: %s", bin_path); + "Created directory for binaries: %s %u", bin_path, mode); return 1; } ``` and this logged `365`, which - if I understand `mode_t` correctly - corresponds to `-wxrw-r-x`: ``` Debug: sieve: storage after: file: Created directory for binaries: /run/dovecot2/sieve/jasper 365 ``` Needless to say, I'm a little confused as to what's going on here - am I missing something or does this look like a Pigeonhole / Dovecot bug?

`sieve_script_bin_path` option to have Pigeonhole auto- create directories for compiled sieve scripts, I ran into some permission issues: "Error: sieve: binary /run/dovecot2/sieve/jasper/ 84lkfddk8d88ib7zh3zh6hmy5lrvn54x-after.svbin: save: failed to create temporary file: open(/run/dovecot2/sieve/jasper/84lkfddk8d88ib7zh3zh6hmy5lrvn54x- after.svbin.) failed: Permission denied (euid=986(dovemail) egid=985(dovemail) missing +w perm: /run/dovecot2/sieve/jasper, dir owner missing perms)" I'm using `bin_path` like this: `sieve_script_bin_path = "/run/dovecot2/sieve/% {user|username|lower}";` and the permissions of the `sieve` directory are as follows: ``` $ ls -lah sieve total 0 drwxr-xrwx 3 root root 60 Jul 5 13:01 . drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 780 Jul 5 13:00 .. dr-xr-xr-x 2 dovemail dovemail 40 Jul 5 13:01 jasper ``` `strace`ing Dovecot shows that it uses `0555` when creating this directory (but not before setting `umask` to `000`?): ``` 260940 newfstatat(AT_FDCWD</var/vmail/jappie.dev/jasper>, "/run/dovecot2/sieve/ jasper", 0x7fff4306af00, 0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 260940 umask(000) = 077 260940 mkdir("/run/dovecot2/sieve/jasper", 0555) = 0 260940 umask(077) = 000 ``` I also tried patching Pigeonhole's source to log the value of `mode`: ``` diff --git a/src/lib-sieve/sieve-storage.c b/src/lib-sieve/sieve-storage.c index e68fe39f..4c7a081f 100644 --- a/src/lib-sieve/sieve-storage.c +++ b/src/lib-sieve/sieve-storage.c @@ -887,6 +887,6 @@ int sieve_storage_setup_bin_path(struct

bin_path, mode); return 1; } ``` and this logged `365`, which - if I understand `mode_t` correctly - corresponds to `-wxrw-r-x`: ``` Debug: sieve: storage after: file: Created directory for binaries: /run/ dovecot2/sieve/jasper 365 ``` Needless to say, I'm a little confused as to what's going on here - am I missing something or does this look like a Pigeonhole / Dovecot bug?

how to disable services on the docker image?
by Felix Rubio 06 Jul '25

06 Jul '25

Hi everybody! I am trying to find the cleanest way to disable services (like pop3-login, pop3, etc.) in the docker image, if possible extending the existing configuration with conf.d files. Is this possible? I have tried using the protocol keyword on those services, after setting the protocols to that ones I want, and the services still get instantiated (thus consuming resources as well). Thank you! Felix

sievec fails when run as non-root - bug?
by Genes Lists 30 Jun '25

30 Jun '25

1) With 2.4.1, when a non-root user runs sievec on their own sieve scripts it fails to run due to permission denied on the dovecot certificate key (which is only readable by root). Specifically: sievec active.sieve doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10- ssl.conf line 10: cert_file: open(/etc/.../fullchain.pem) failed: Permission denied What is recommended way to deal with this? 2) Separate question: Might this explain why users sieve scripts are not running? I assume not as there are no 'sieve' items reported by lmtp in the logs. Config has: protocol lmtp { postmaster_address = postmaster@<domain>.com mail_plugins { sieve = yes } hostname = imap.<domain>.com } sieve_script before { driver = file path = /etc/dovecot/sieve/global active_path = remove_dup.sieve } sieve_script personal { driver = file path = ~/sieve active_path = ~/.dovecot.sieve } sieve_script after { driver = file path = /etc/dovecot/sieve active_path = default.sieve } thanks. -- Gene

Identifying spamd problems

Hi, I have use Dovecot, Spamassassin and Roundcube. My spam assassin is configured to use SQL.

SASL authentication against LDAP w/ client certs, supposed to work?
by Bruno Hertz 26 Jun '25

26 Jun '25

Hi all I'm currently testing Dovecot 2.4, considering a migration from 2.3, and all works fine except authentication against LDAP (openldap slapd) with client certificates. Which I had no problem with on 2.3 for seven years or so. Versions: Linux Alpine 3.22 Dovecot 2.4.1-4 (7d8c0e5759) Alpine package, but patched with https://github.com/dovecot/core/commit/431e328b3b035ddb187526cd13bccf29833a… Now, first a Dovecot configuration that does work, unencrypted simple bind against Unix domain socket: ldap_version = 3 ldap_uris = ldapi:/// ldap_base = ou=users,dc=mydomain,dc=internal ldap_auth_dn = cn=dovecot,dc=mydomain,dc=internal ldap_auth_dn_password = secret passdb ldap { bind = no default_password_scheme = SSHA ldap_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%{user})) fields { user = %{ldap:uid} password = %{ldap:userPassword} } } Meaning I'm doing password lookups, IMAP users can authenticate against Dovecot, Postfix correctly delivers incoming emails, everything works flawlessly. Now the setup I'm talking about, which does not work: ldap_version = 3 ldap_uris = ldaps://localhost.mydomain.internal ldap_base = ou=users,dc=mydomain,dc=internal ldap_auth_sasl_mechanisms = external ssl_client_cert_file = /etc/ssl/ldap/dovecot.crt ssl_client_key_file = /etc/ssl/ldap/dovecot.key # this just as a precaution during testing, validation *does* work ssl_client_require_valid_cert = no ssl_client_ca_dir = /etc/ssl/certs passdb ldap { bind = no default_password_scheme = SSHA ldap_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%{user})) fields { user = %{ldap:uid} password = %{ldap:userPassword} } } What happens here, as far as I can see, is Dovecot connects to slapd, initiates a SASL session but then fails to send the client certificate. slapd realizes the cert isn't coming, asserts there's no other SASL "external" method to fall back to and disconnects Dovecot. Game over. Now, before somebody thinks 'maybe something wrong with the certs or so', the very same setup on the very same machine works perfectly with two other client types, namely - openldap standard utils - postfix (recipient lookup) With the utils I have this setup, with the same client cert URI ldaps://localhost.mydomain.internal BASE ou=users,dc=mydomain,dc=internal SASL_MECH external TLS_REQCERT demand TLS_CACERT /root/ssl/ca.crt TLS_CERT /etc/ssl/ldap/dovecot.crt TLS_KEY /etc/ssl/ldap/dovecot.key and ldapwhoami connects without problem, and with ldapsearch I can perform the very same searches Dovecot is supposed to do. Postfix, for recipient lookups, I have configured like this: version = 3 server_host = ldaps://localhost.mydomain.internal search_base = ou=users,dc=mydomain,dc=internal query_filter = (&(mail=%s)) result_attribute = uid bind = sasl sasl_mechs = external tls_require_cert = demand tls_ca_cert_dir = /etc/ssl/certs tls_cert = /etc/ssl/ldap/dovecot.crt tls_key = /etc/ssl/ldap/dovecot.key Again, no problem to authenticate agains LDAP with the very same client certificate. The CA is correctly installed into /etc/ssl/certs , by the way, with update-ca-certificates. So out of 3 client types with the very same setup only Dovecot fails to successfully negotiate the client cert SASL session, while, after a good look through the docs, I really don't see any other settings I could tweak. Thoughts? Greetings, Bruno

Dovecot quota and IMAP MOVE
by marekstefanka＠duck.com 26 Jun '25

26 Jun '25

Hello, I would like to kindly ask, if there is some recommendation for dovecot quota configuration, to prevent quota-warning triggering when IMAP MOVE command is executed close to some thresholds. Problem seems to be this: Jun 10 11:08:20 srv1 dovecot[39677]: imap(box1(a)domain.com)<48726><0aCoCTQ3TC8KHgcC>: Debug: quota: Executing warning: quota-warning box1(a)domain.com (because bytes=3713971 -> 7301217 over limit 4096000) Jun 10 11:08:20 srv1 dovecot[39677]: imap(box1(a)domain.com)<48726><0aCoCTQ3TC8KHgcC>: Debug: quota: Executing warning: quota-warning box1(a)domain.com (because bytes=7301217 -> 3713971 below limit 4096000) So during any IMAP MOVE, which is copy-then-delete process, quota goes over and then below limit, triggering closest threshold. Quota config: quota = count:User quota quota_vsizes = yes # default, we specific user limits via sql quota_rule = *:storage=0 quota_grace = 50M quota_warning = storage=100%% quota-warning %u quota_warning2 = -storage=100%% quota-warning %u quota_warning3 = storage=90%% quota-warning %u quota_warning4 = storage=80%% quota-warning %u Recommended fix does not seems to work (tried multiple namespaces): quota_rule = Folder:storage=+100M Dovecot version is 2.3.21.1 Thank you for any help with this.

How do I enable the CDB backend in Dovecot 2.4.1? → “auth: Fatal: Unknown passdb driver ‘cdb’”
by Brent Clark 16 Jun '25

16 Jun '25

Good day everyone, I’m trying to authenticate against a constant database (CDB) file. After reading the /cdb_path/ description in the 2.4.1 manual (⟨https://doc.dovecot.org/2.4.1/core/summaries/settings.html#cdb_path⟩ <https://doc.dovecot.org/2.4.1/core/summaries/settings.html#cdb_path%E2%9F%A9>) I added the following to the conf file.: |passdb cdb { cdb_path = /srv/mail/passwd.cdb } userdb cdb { cdb_path = /srv/mail/passwd.cdb } | But dovecot says |auth: Fatal: Unknownpassdb driver 'cdb'| dovecot --version 2.4.1-4+debian11 (7d8c0e5759) I cant see anything in the changelogs. Is the “cdb” driver still available in 2.4.1, or was it renamed/removed? Any pointers (or a minimal working example) would be greatly appreciated.

Why would "doveadm mailbox" check certificate file access?
by Ralph Seichter 15 Jun '25

15 Jun '25

The following came as a nasty surprise while testing Dovecot 2.4.1-4: alice@host $ doveadm mailbox list -u $(whoami) doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf line 61: cert_file: open(/path/to/cert.pem) failed: Permission denied Unprivileged user Alice does not have access to cert.pem, nor does she need it. Calling "doveadm flags ..." causes the same error. I suspect other subcommands are affected as well, but did not test it. The technical reason might be that dovecot.conf is parsed for each doveadm invocation? In any case, the certificate access check for subcommands like "flags" or "mailbox" seems like a bug to me. -Ralph

Migrating to Docker 2.4.1 not show Mailbox elements
by alberto 15 Jun '25

15 Jun '25

Hi, I'm migrating my physical Dovecot Server 2.2.33.2 to a new 2.4.1 (latest) on Docker container installation. I've got auth process successfully (Mariadb + Wforce included), but I cannot see their Maildir mailbox structure and elements, and logging debug not show errors related. I detected in my probe account that when I make logging with the new installation, a new "Maildir" directory into Mailbox structure disk is created, as unique difference that I noted, and perhaps would be a symptom, but I'm not sure. ... imap(probe@mydomain)<20><BpSIoIY3GIpYDjFl>: Info: Mailbox INBOX: Mailbox created ... --- "probe@mydomain" account disk structure --- drwxrwsr-x 7 mail dovecot 4096 dic 19 09:33 .. drwx--S--- 3 dovecot dovecot 4096 jun 14 13:40 Maildir drwxrwsr-x 2 dovecot dovecot 4096 jun 13 20:12 tmp drwxrwsr-x 2 dovecot dovecot 4096 jun 14 12:42 new drwxrwsr-x 2 dovecot dovecot 16384 jun 14 12:47 cur drwx--S--- 3 dovecot dovecot 4096 jun 3 16:02 sieve drwxrwsr-x 5 dovecot dovecot 4096 jun 14 12:57 .Sent drwxrwsr-x 5 dovecot dovecot 4096 nov 9 2020 .spam drwxrwsr-x 5 dovecot dovecot 4096 abr 30 2019 .Drafts drwxrwsr-x 5 dovecot dovecot 4096 jun 14 12:47 .Trash -rw------- 1 dovecot dovecot 212 jul 28 2019 .dovecot.svbin -rw-rw-r-- 1 dovecot dovecot 656 feb 11 02:09 dovecot.index -rw-rw-r-- 1 dovecot dovecot 31832 jun 14 12:47 dovecot.index.cache -rw-rw-r-- 1 dovecot dovecot 26252 jun 14 12:57 dovecot.index.log -rw-rw-r-- 1 dovecot dovecot 7420 ene 16 14:32 dovecot.list.index.log -rw-rw-r-- 1 dovecot dovecot 29 may 4 2019 dovecot-acl-list -rw-rw-r-- 1 dovecot dovecot 10 oct 31 2020 dovecot-keywords -rw------- 1 dovecot dovecot 240 dic 26 16:37 dovecot.mailbox.log -rw------- 1 dovecot dovecot 8 dic 26 16:37 dovecot-uidvalidity -r--r--r-- 1 dovecot dovecot 0 abr 19 2019 dovecot-uidvalidity.5cb9d075 -rw-rw-r-- 1 dovecot dovecot 909 jun 13 20:12 dovecot-uidlist -rw-rw-r-- 1 dovecot dovecot 87 dic 26 16:37 subscriptions --- old other account disk structure --- drwxrwsr-x 7 mail dovecot 4096 dic 19 09:33 .. drwxrwsr-x 2 dovecot dovecot 4096 oct 8 2024 tmp drwxrwsr-x 2 dovecot dovecot 4096 oct 8 2024 new drwxrwsr-x 2 dovecot dovecot 4096 oct 8 2024 cur drwx--S--- 3 dovecot dovecot 4096 may 27 23:38 sieve drwxrwsr-x 5 dovecot dovecot 4096 abr 2 15:37 .Sent drwxrwsr-x 5 dovecot dovecot 4096 may 26 17:03 .spam drwxrwsr-x 5 dovecot dovecot 4096 abr 30 2019 .Drafts drwxrwsr-x 5 dovecot dovecot 4096 sep 4 2020 .Trash lrwxrwxrwx 1 dovecot dovecot 23 may 4 2019 .dovecot.sieve -> sieve/managesieve.sieve -rw------- 1 dovecot dovecot 264 may 5 2019 .dovecot.svbin -rw-rw-r-- 1 dovecot dovecot 816 oct 17 2019 dovecot.index -rw-rw-r-- 1 dovecot dovecot 30152 abr 2 15:35 dovecot.index.log -rw-rw-r-- 1 dovecot dovecot 30884 abr 2 15:35 dovecot.index.cache -rw-rw-r-- 1 dovecot dovecot 146 may 3 2019 dovecot.index.thread -rw-rw-r-- 1 dovecot dovecot 13 may 2 2019 dovecot-keywords -rw-rw-r-- 1 dovecot dovecot 240 oct 17 2019 dovecot.mailbox.log -rw------- 1 dovecot dovecot 8 oct 17 2019 dovecot-uidvalidity -rw-rw-r-- 1 dovecot dovecot 1773 oct 8 2024 dovecot-uidlist -rw-rw-r-- 1 dovecot dovecot 54 oct 17 2019 subscriptions This is my new Docker installation config: #

BUG: extra_groups doesn't accept multiple values
by m＠sacha.pl 14 Jun '25

14 Jun '25

Hello, I'm reporting a bug in the config processor/parser. The option extra_groups does not accept multiple (list) values. If you put a section like: service auth-worker { user = $default_internal_user group = $default_internal_group extra_groups = shadow mail } you will get the error message like: dovecotFatal: service(auth-worker) Group doesn't exist: shadow mail (See service auth-worker { extra_groups } setting) It is trivial to reproduce - just try to run the dovecot with the section like above, and you will get the error. Best regards, Marcin

Dovecot and xoauth2: oauth2 active_attribute check failed
by Markus Grandpré 14 Jun '25

14 Jun '25

Dear dovecot list members, I am currently working on the task of implementing an MFA solution with OpenID for our SOGo server v5.12.1.20250612-1 and our Dovecot server v2.3.21.1. For this purpose, we are using a Shibboleth IDP v5.1.4 with the appropriate OpenID extension via XOAUTH2. In my opinion, authentication and autorization requests and responses between SOGo and the IDP are working flawlessly, and with: SOGoSMTPAuthenticationType = xoauth2; NGImap4AuthMechanism = xoauth2; the SOGo server forwards the received access token to the Dovecot server. On the Dovecot side, I have configured the server as follows: /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-auth.conf: disable_plaintext_auth = yes auth_username_format = %Ln auth_master_user_separator = * auth_mechanisms = plain login auth_verbose = yes auth_verbose_passwords = no auth_debug = yes auth_debug_passwords = yes mail_debug = yes verbose_ssl = yes !include auth-master.conf.ext !include auth-oauth2.conf.ext /etc/dovecot/conf.d/auth-oauth2.conf.ext auth_mechanisms = $auth_mechanisms plain xoauth2 oauthbearer passdb { driver = oauth2 mechanisms = xoauth2 oauthbearer args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-oauth2.conf.ext } userdb { driver = static args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/var/vmail/%u } service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { mode = 0660 # Assuming the default Postfix user and group user = postfix group = postfix } } /etc/dovecot/dovecot-oauth2.conf.ext introspection_mode = post introspection_url = https://<ID>>:<SECRET>@idp-test.uni-konstanz.de/idp/profile/oauth2/introspection username_attribute = mail tls_ca_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt active_attribute = active active_value = true As soon as the SOGo server contacts the Dovecot server, and the latter contacts the IDP server, I see the following error message in the Dovecot server logs: Jun 13 11:44:47 bamenda dovecot: auth: Debug: http-client[1]: request [Req7: POST https://idp-test.uni-konstanz.de/idp/profile/oauth2/introspection] Free (requests lef t=1) Jun 13 11:44:47 bamenda dovecot: auth: Debug: oauth2(pop519315,134.34.240.55,<kMaO5XA3FrWGIvA3>): Introspection succeeded Jun 13 11:44:47 bamenda dovecot: auth: Debug: oauth2(pop519315,134.34.240.55,<kMaO5XA3FrWGIvA3>): Processing field active Jun 13 11:44:47 bamenda dovecot: auth: Debug: oauth2(pop519315,134.34.240.55,<kMaO5XA3FrWGIvA3>): oauth2 active_attribute check failed: expected active="true" but got "false" Jun 13 11:44:47 bamenda dovecot: auth: oauth2(pop519315,134.34.240.55,<kMaO5XA3FrWGIvA3>): oauth2 failed: Introspection failed: Provided token is not valid Jun 13 11:44:47 bamenda dovecot: auth: Debug: oauth2(pop519315,134.34.240.55,<kMaO5XA3FrWGIvA3>): Finished passdb lookup Jun 13 11:44:47 bamenda dovecot: auth: Debug: auth(pop519315,134.34.240.55,<kMaO5XA3FrWGIvA3>): Auth request finished Is the error on the IDP side, or is there something wrong with my Dovecot configuration, or both? How can I make Dovecot more verbose the way I could see all the tokens exchanged with SOGo and IDP? I would greatly appreciate your help.

dovecot-2.4 problems with uid/gid and mbox settings
by "Tóth Attila" 14 Jun '25

14 Jun '25

1. I have a disturbing uid/gid issue: up until dovecot-2.3, dovecot changed its uid/gid to the user it is delivering the mail for. I'm the first user on the system with uid 1000 and the users gid is 100. Therefore I kept first_valid_uid = 1000 and first_valid_gid = 100. Now that I've upgraded to dovecot-2.4, it immediately started to complain about unable to change uid/gid, because it tries to write in user's directory as mail:mail. Mail directories and files in it are accessible only by the owner, not even by the group. So even after lowering first_valid_uid/gid, the operation fails. Are there any configuration options to restore dovecot-2.3 behavior to change uid:gid to the actual user Jun 8 21:40:52 server dovecot: imap(user)<48978><1LgipBQ3LO1/AAAB>: Error: mkdir(/home/user/mail/.imap) failed: Permission denied (euid=8(mail) egid=12(mail) missing +x perm: /home/user/mail, dir owned by 1000:100 mode=0700) Jun 8 21:40:52 server dovecot: imap(user)<48978><1LgipBQ3LO1/AAAB>: Error: mkdir(/home/user/mail/.imap) failed: Permission denied (euid=8(mail) egid=12(mail) missing +x perm: /home/user/mail, dir owned by 1000:100 mode=0700) 2. I know, that mbox is deprecated as of dovecot-2.4 - or that it has been long superseded by more modern formats, but I have a setup for 20+ years (without any problems and less files) and before I would convert it to Maildir, I'd rather provide a transition period and keep using mbox for a little while. During dovecot-2.3 times this was my mail_location setting: mail_location = mbox:~/mail/:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u Mails get delivered into /var/spool/mail/user and when dovecot reads them, they get copied under /home/user/mail. Now for dovecot-2.4 I'm forced to came up with this: mail_driver = mbox mail_path = /home/%{user}/mail mail_inbox_path = /var/spool/mail/%{user} #mail_home Are there anyone else with a setup like this struggling with dovecot-2.4?
