Version: 2.2.9 & 2.2.15 ( http://ppa.launchpad.net/malte.swart/dovecot-2.2/ubuntu ) OS: Ubuntu 14.04 Server LTS I installed Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS newly on my new server... And I try to configure the mail server considering both my system account and the virtual mailboxes, by seeing https://www.exratione.com/2014/05/a-mailserver-on-ubuntu-1404-postfix-dovec… But when I configured by uncommenting #!include auth-sql.conf.ext , it doesn't auth... Possibly, it's a trouble with the configurations of postfix and of dovecot. But I don't understand why... When I enable either auth-system.conf.ext or auth-sql.conf.ext , it works...

Sieve can't find Extprograms or Extdata
by E.B. 08 Mar '15

08 Mar '15

Hi, On a new install-from-source with Dovecot 2.2.16rc1, Piegeonhole 0.4.6 and a grab of the newest Extdata code, I confirmed basic Sieve functionality is working (made a simple sieve script with a test on message subject resulting in a fileinto action). But I cannot get Sieve to see Extdata or Extprograms. sievec reports "Warning: sieve: ignored unknown extension 'vnd.dovecot.filter' while configuring available extensions" and the same for vnd.dovecot.extdata. And of course for the user script, "error: require command: unknown Sieve capability `vnd.dovecot.filter'" (same with extdata) I'm pretty sure this is a library path problem, but I've tried symlinking and restarting dovecot with as many iterations of library paths as I can think of but still same problem. The lib90_sieve_extdata_plugin.so and lib90_sieve_extprograms_plugin.so are in /usr/local/lib/dovecot/sieve and all the rest of the normal dovecot libraries are one level above in /usr/local/lib/dovecot. I tried creating symlinks for a "modules" directory and a "modules/sieve" directory, I tried symlinking these two librarie files themselves into the top level dovecot library directory, and a few other ideas, but no luck. Is there a way I can tell where Sieve expects its libraries to reside? To see where it is looking? I didn't provide any arguments to the configure command for pigeonhole as well as extdata and it seems like the libs got placed somewhere sensible, but I don't know what else to do.

[PATCH] Fix dovecot 1.2 build with LibreSSL
by Bernard Spil 07 Mar '15

07 Mar '15

Hi All, mail/dovecot build fails when linked against LibreSSL. This is due to LibreSSL no longer including comp.h from ssl.h/ssl3.h. See https://wiki.freebsd.org/LibreSSL as well. This patch fixes the build failure. Build log attached as well (not any more, too large! Get it via link just above). Please commit this fix to the 1.2 branch (2.1 branch is not affected) Kind regards, Bernard Spil.

Identify mail for attachment hash
by Daniel Miller 06 Mar '15

06 Mar '15

How can I find the message associated with a given attachment hash? For example, if I know that: /ff/23/ff23873c712474ad0f48cbd81485eaeaba3d8468-e1b4513a2eb8eb53b16400009db5accb is missing, I want to find the message associated with it so I can determine if it's critical and I need to recover it from another source, or if I can simply delete the old message. -- Daniel

Sieve editheader should support adding Received and Auto-Submitted headers
by Lee Maguire 06 Mar '15

06 Mar '15

In order to simplify auto-response suppression and other filtering, I want to synthesise an Auto-Submitted header on notification mails that should have them but do not. In a sieve file I add the following: if anyof ( header :contains ["From","Sender"] “info(a)example.com" ) { if header :contains "Subject" [" just joined "," just left "] { if not exists "Auto-Submitted" { addheader "Auto-Submitted" "auto-generated (via sieve)"; } } However this doesn’t work and results in the following error > main script: line 205: warning: addheader action: specified header field `Auto-Submitted' is protected; modification denied. (Workaround for this specific issue would probably be to use a List-* header instead.) Looking at http://hg.rename-it.nl/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole/file/c8edece267cd/src/lib-sie… I can see that "Auto-Submitted” and “Received” are hardcoded to be blocked without reference to whether they are to be added or removed. However, the hard restriction in RFC 5293 on Auto-Submitted and Received only applies to the use of deleteheader and not addheader. https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5293#section-6 > As a matter of local policy, implementations MAY limit which header > fields may be deleted and which header fields may be added. However, > implementations MUST NOT permit attempts to delete "Received" and > "Auto-Submitted" header fields and MUST permit both addition and > deletion of the "Subject" header field. Using Dovecot version 2.1.7 but I assume it’s not version specific issue.

IP drop list
by Jim Pazarena 05 Mar '15

05 Mar '15

I wonder if there is an easy way to provide dovecot a flat text file of ipv4 #'s which should be ignored or dropped? I have accumulated 45,000+ IPs which routinely try dictionary and 12345678 password attempts. The file is too big to create firewall drops, and I don't want to compile with wrappers *if* dovecot has an easy ability to do this. If dovecot could parse a flat text file of IPs and drop connections it would sure put a dent in these attempts. Thanks.

That sounds ... counterintuitive. I am the original poster and just came back to this thread. When the first couple replies were "fail2ban" I lost interest. The reason I contemplated a flat text scan by dovecot is because, for the most part, my dovecot is low volume. So even if parsing a flat text file is less 'efficient' than a firewall insertion, it WOULD serve to defeat dictionary attacks rather readily. I already have a routine which scans my dovecot logs for goofy attacks such as dictionary or 12345 attempts. And since the attacks are pop/IMAP only, that is the only avenue which I wanted to defeat. This question garnered lots and lots of responses and I appreciate them all and read them all. And out of all the responses I think I will pursue the ipset routine. It seems easy enough and can act at the firewall level. The DNS RBL would be cool. I am also cognizant that 45,000 SHOULD have a TTL. However, these were IPs attempting to fetch email with obviously hacker type passwords. If, later, a given IP is re-assigned to a 'legitimate' person, they would still be able to send an email to me ' postmaster@ ' asking about an inability to fetch email. But parsing the flat text file would STILL be my preference. I'll look at the source and see if I can figure out where to inject such code. Like I said, my dovecot is low volume, so a fraction of a second at connection time is low impact. Considering that the flat text file may hang around in the memory cache it could even be less impact than low.

Weird sub-folder error
by Christian Theune 05 Mar '15

05 Mar '15

Hi, I’m running dovecot 2.2.13 and I ran into a weird problem. A user migrated his mailboxes by letting users copy them from their old server to the new one through their MUA. All that went fine except for one very weird instance. The user is running Outlook 2010. The user has a sub-folder structure which dovecot places as dotted names beneath the Inbox. (E.g. Maildir/.my.sub.folders). After copying all data, that user came back to us and complained about missing mails in their folders. Apparently 3 of her folders disappeared. I found folders with similar (but different!) names in the dovecot storage but with no mails in them. After a while I noticed that something made dovecot create another level of nesting, like this: Maildir/.My.Folder/Subfolder In this case the Original folder structure was INBOX - My - Folder - Subfolder. When the user visited the subscription settings in her MUA she found the INBOX - My - Folder mailbox which was empty. The Subfolder was nowhere to be found. This appeared weird to me. I moved the Subfolder back directly under the Maildir directory and named it “.My.Folder.Subfolder”. doveadm now lists this folder correctly. I could not find whether this is a known bug - so I’m letting you know. Maybe you can help understand what happened. Sounds like a weird server-side bug to me - this shouldn’t happen, right?

Dovecot Full Text Search results in SolrException: undefined field text [SERIOUS]
by Kevin Laurie 05 Mar '15

Hello, My dovecot constantly runs into this error. I want to fix this one last time, I am tired of troubleshooting so please someone give me a lasting and proper solution for this error. I think its a problem with the dovecot-solr module. Please tell me how do I find the root of this problem with Dovecot. There is a problem with the body search text field. It always fails(with no result), other searches work(ie. search date, subject etc, ) The field-text I believe is missing. Please help.

However, these delays are only inserted into the same session -- no IP tracking is done so a BFD attacking host can just keep opening up new connections.

Oddly enough, if you run some versions of Solaris, it uses IPFilter as the native firewall, and it *does* have userland hooks so that you can make pass/block decisions based on userland executable. Not well documented though (see auth rules). You would need a firewall rule like auth in proto tcp from any to any port = 143 flags S/SA keep state then write a program that does ioctl(ipauth) calls to inspect and accept/reject packets; not for the faint of heart. However, you can use whatever weird and wonderful methods you want to determine IMAP/POP/SMTP network access policy, including DNSRBL or parsing a text file. This thread seems to be spinning into non-dovecot subjects, and I'm not helping, so I'll stop. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

I will investigate this. If you don't expect yor firewall to handle 45K+ IPs, I'm not how you expect dovecot will handle a comma separated string with 45K+ entries any better. If you want to turn your global backlist into a per-user whitelist, that would be perfectly doable though. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

Rebuilding SIS attachment links from log
by Daniel Miller 04 Mar '15

04 Mar '15

This seems simple enough...I'm just not script wizard. If someone can throw together a starting point I can test and tweak it from there. It seems to me: 1. Read /var/mail/mail.err or specified logfile 2. For each "failed: read(/var/mail/attachments/aa/bb/attachmentHash-userHash" line, a. Confirm /var/mail/attachments/aa/bb/hashes/attachmentHash exists i. If attachmentHash is missing display such for possible backup searching. b. create link attachmentHash-userHash to hashes/attachmentHash 3. Continue to end of file Can this be done via "pure" BASH? Need sed/awk as well? -- Daniel

[OT] Extdata / Extprograms Plugins on CentOS 7?
by E.B. 04 Mar '15

04 Mar '15

Hello, I want to install Dovecot Pigeonhole and use the Extdata and Extprograms plugins on CentOS 7. I prefer to install software via yum, and a reasonably new version of Dovecot is available in the CentOS repo. But according to the dovecot documentation, these plugins need to be compiled, so I don't know if yum is out of the question? * Does anyone know if either of these plugins built into the Pigeonhole that is available in the CentOS 7 extras repo? OR if there is a version of Pigeonhole available in a different 3rd party repo with what I want? (like EPEL, DAG, etc) * Is it possible to use these plugins with Pigeonhole installed from yum? Does the compilation requirement mean that I have to remove not only Pigeonhole, but also Dovecot itself from my system and build everything by hand? :-( THANK YOU!!!!!!

Well, with no guarantees or promises whatsoever...here's my first attempt. I'm certain someone else can come up with a much more robust solution but it's a starting point. Since I typically see a batch of the error messages during an FTS update, my current usage is: 1. doveadm fts rescan -u user-to-fix 2. Perform a fts search to do a full mailbox scan 3. Check the mail log to see the date/time of the errors (I usually have a window open with tail -f) 4. Something like "grep 'Mar 3 20:17' mail.log > mail.err" gives me a starting point execute dovesisfix and see if it helps. -- Daniel On 3/3/2015 1:08 PM, Daniel Miller wrote: > This seems simple enough...I'm just not script wizard.

I'm agnostic as far as which method you want to use. All I'm saying is that using dovecot's allow_net facility is as difficult, if not more so, than letting your firewall handle it.

I have dovecot version 2.2.10 dovecot -n output below I am seeing connection errors being written to my dovecot error log: Mar 1 19:51:15 mail dovecot: auth-worker(2224): Error: mysql(localhost): Connect failed to database (servermail): Access denied for user 'usermail'@'localhost' (using password: YES) - waiting for 5 seconds before retry My connection script located at /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext is like (password edited): driver = mysql connect = host=localhost dbname=servermail user='usermail' password='MY_SUPER_SECRET_PASSWORD' default_pass_scheme = SHA512-CRYPT password_query = SELECT email as user, password FROM virtual_users WHERE email='%u'; I have verified that I can gain access to the SQL database with # mysql -u usermail -p I can make select statements on the 'servermail' database and all of its tables. I've searched for similar errors from users, but most of the questions are unanswered, or answered incorrectly. I did follow one thread's suggest of setting the MYSQL password for the 'usermail' with OLD_PASSWORD instead of PASSWORD. I did that. I could still login from the shell using mysql -u usermail -p But dovecot still wrote the same error. (I did a flush privileges, and restarted mysql, and dovecot) I then set the password in SQL back using PASSWORD. (flush'd priveleges and restarte mysql and dovecot). Still Errors. Looking for leads.

Hi erveryone! I'm trying to run Postix and Dovecot on a Mac OS X, but somehow, it doesn't work. I probably messed up the privileges or something else. Hopefully someone of you, can help me figure it out. So far, Postfix is delivering the mail into ~/Maildir. But as soon as I add the line: mailbox_command = /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda in /etc/postfix/main.cf I get the following entry in the mail.log. Feb 27 16:08:02 Nils-iMac.local local[53237]: fatal: execvp /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda: Permission denied Feb 27 16:08:02 Nils-iMac.local postfix/local[53236]: B246837BE40: to=<marc(a)localhost.local>, orig_to=<marc@localhost>, relay=local, delay=1185, delays=1185/0.01/0/0.01, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (temporary failure.

Re: Dovecot & LDAP Take #2: Authentication failed and logging
by Paolo Cravero 02 Mar '15

02 Mar '15

This is the user DN: > cn=Klara Fall,ou=People,dc=[domainname],dc=de According to your Dovecot configuration > auth_bind_userdn = cn=%u,ou=People,dc=**[domainname]**,dc=de if you login with "klarafall" it will be expanded into cn=klarafall,ou=People,dc=[domainname],dc=de which is not the correct DN for Mrs Klara. So if you login with "Klara Fall" it should work, but that will probably mess up the things on Dovecot filesystem. I am strongly against setting a static DN when dealing with LDAP authentication. LDAP servers are optimized to serve search requests, so let yours do the job. Allow Dovecot to lookup the correct DN based on the attribute you supply (uid) and then authenticate. This should be achieved if you comment out the auth_bind_userdn line. Paolo Cravero
