[Dovecot] LMTP error
by IT geek 31 01 May '14

Hi, I've recently switched to LMTP as I'm now using mdbox. However since switching, mails sent to the root account do not get delivered due to the following error: May 1 18:20:17 Server1 postfix/lmtp[13019]: CAEE91F851: to=<root(a)test.com>, relay=mail.test.com[private/dovecot-lmtp], delay=1097, delays=1096/0.45/0.43/0.46, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (host mail.test.com[private/dovecot-lmtp] said: 451 4.3.0 <root(a)test.com> Invalid user settings. Refer to server log for more information. (in reply to RCPT TO command)) This obviously fills up my mail queue. All other mails to all other mailboxes deliver fine. I'm obviously missing something in my config... any ideas? I'm using Dovecot 2.2.12 on NetBSD 5.2.2.

[Dovecot] Problems with login_log_format (possible bug?)
by Trever L. Adams 01 May '14

01 May '14

login_log_format = %$: %s login_log_format_elements = user=<%u> method=%m rip=%r lip=%l mpid=%e %c session=<%{session}> These are the defaults, at least on a Fedora system. According to http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Variables, this should record for user@REALM when seeing the following Apr 30 18:08:40 TeaSet dovecot: auth: Debug: auth(user,...,<JhKid0v4bAAKAQG6>): username changed user -> user@REALM. If I wanted just user, user=<%u> should be changed to user=<%orig_user>. However, I only get user not user@REALME in imap-login log lines. I wouldn't mind this, but auth_username_format cannot be used in passed{} and I haven't been able to get pam_krb5 to uppercase the realm for it alone. (Everything else depends on it being lowercase.) I can make this work by just passing the user name part of username in the client, but then imap-login still doesn't have the required information for the same reason. Anyone have any suggestions? Thank you, Trever

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.0.16 question...
by Farokh Irani 30 Apr '14

30 Apr '14

I'm running Dovecot 2.0.16 on OS X Server 10.7.5 and I've got a problem with IMAP searches. There are a couple of accounts that are unable to search using an IMAP search, but I can't seem to find anything wrong. Any pointers on what I can do? Is there a search index file that I can delete to force a rebuild, or a script or app that will do that? I tried to use update-fts-index.pl, but to no avail. Thanks!

[Dovecot] doveadm import : Error creating new mailbox
by Administrator BCS 29 Apr '14

29 Apr '14

Hello, I'm new to dovecot. I managed to set up a system running dovecot/mysql/postfix/postfixadmin with a virtual maildir setup on Ubuntu 12.04 I can add and remove users, send and receive mail, create folders, move mail between them etc so all ok. Now trying to manually import some mbox files from the old server into dovecot. Copied a mbox file to the new system, converted it to Maildir with mb2md resulting in a directory containing the new, cur en tmp. Looks ok, old email messages are all there. When importing this folder using doveadm import it fails with the message: Error: Couldn't create mailbox maildir:/home/vmail/bezoekerscentrumsonsbeek.nl/techniek/.INBOX: Invalid mailbox name What am I doing wrong?

[Dovecot] Why does it appear that dovecot is deleting messages after migration?
by Bill Eccles 28 Apr '14

28 Apr '14

Hi, y'all, long-time Mac OS X Server user Bill here with a thorny question for the mailing list since nobody at discussions.apple.com can quite put their finger on the answer. While well-aquainted with other aspects of Server, Dovecot is a bit of a mystery still to me. So here it goes: Background I'm struggling to migrate from MacOS X 10.6 to 10.9. I tried twice using the "live server in target disk mode" method, but after things went horribly awry (meaning I was left with no working services on the new server), I gave up on that and have been working to slowly bring services over, one at a time. I've got both Dovecot and PostFix accepting connections from my test machine, and I am able to connect with IMAP to the new server. What I Do... First, I turn both mail servers off. Then I tar up the /var/spool/imap/dovecot/mail directory on the old server, move it to the new server, untar it in /Library/Server/Mail/Data/ (where it belongs), and change ownership to _dovecot:mail, all per many other suggestions found in the Apple forums. (All files appear to be in maildir format, that I can tell.) I then turn the mail service back on on the new server. What Dovecot Does... (or appears to do) If I quickly connect to the new server with my IMAP client (MacOS X Mail.app) and create a "fresh user" in Mail.app, message folders appear correctly. But it's only a matter of time before Dovecot, or something, runs "doveadm index -u (usernames) (mailboxes)" on all of the mailboxes. As it does, it deletes thousands of messages, leaving, for example, the same 17 in INBOX and 3695 in "Deleted Items Archive". And 0 in others, and other seemingly-random numbers of messages in still yet others. I can watch it marching through the mailboxes, one at a time, if I "ps -ax" enough times. What I've Done to Counteract This... Nothing I've done so far has been able to do anything about it. Re-untar the archive, and it just does it all again. Try using dsync, and it just deletes the messages from the un-tar'd archive. In other words, there are thousands of messages in the archive which don't seem to meet Dovecot's requirement for being in that particular folder, so it deletes them. The "cur" directory in a mailbox directory may start out with >21000 messages in it, but when it's done, it'll have deleted the same messages from "cur" every time, leaving me with a fraction of what I started out with. I even used the 65-migrate_mailboxes.pl script (supplied as part of OS X 10.9 Server), and the same thing happens. (The migrate script does a lot more than just what I've noted above, but most of what it does is responsible for settings and configuration migration. Very little of the script is responsible for moving the data, and that part of the script ends up being a bunch of "cp" followed by a "chown"--essentially what I'm doing.) The Questions What is going on? Failing a fix, am I trying to migrate the wrong way? Is there a better way? Random Thoughts and Observations I've changed hostnames. The old one was shr-xs.mydomain.net, and the new one is shr-mini.mydomain.net. Is it unhappy with that for some reason? In one of the directories where messages are deleted, there were a zillion files named like this: 1396718896.M324523P43630.shr-xs.mydomain.net,S=1209,W=1238:2,Sac There were also a bunch of files named like this: 1211416234.cyrus.457,S=893:2,Sac When it's all said and done, and Dovecot has done its thing, care to guess which ones are left? Only these: 1211416234.cyrus.457,S=893:2,Sac Just to see if I could influence which files get deleted, I deleted all of the dovecot* files in the mailbox directory. And Dovecot recreated them faithfully, but still deleted all but the ones which said "cyrus" in the filenames. I changed the hostname to match shr-xs.mydomain.net, and that doesn't seem to have affected things a bit, though I don't have enough data to support that I really succeeded in changing the hostname for all services (specifically for Dovecot). Is Dovecot really filtering out messages that just don't seem to "belong" in the folder? Thanks, y'all. I've puzzled on this one for about eight hours and it now hurts my brain. I hope somebody else has an answer sans brain hurts.

[Dovecot] Dovecot cannot connect to PostgreSQL server

I am currently facing the following log output: Apr 26 16:40:28 h2290750 dovecot: auth: Error: pgsql(localhost): Connect failed to database mail: could not connect to server: Permission denied Apr 26 16:40:28 h2290750 dovecot: auth: Error: #011Is the server running on host "localhost" (::1) and accepting Apr 26 16:40:28 h2290750 dovecot: auth: Error: #011TCP/IP connections on port 5432? I have double checked the database. It is listening correctly and I can connect to it via psql -U mailreader mail I provided all necessary information to dovecot via this configuration snippet: driver = pgsql connect = host=localhost dbname=mail user=mailreader password=secret default_pass_scheme = SHA512 password_query = SELECT email as user, password, 'maildir:/home/mail'||maildir as userdb_mail FROM users WHERE email = '%u' How can I debug this situation?

[Dovecot] Incompatibility Thunderbirds Auth Mech TLS-Certificate <-> Dovecot
by Christian Felsing 25 Apr '14

25 Apr '14

Hello, it seems there there is an issue regarding "TLS-Certtificate" authentication in Thunderbird and Dovecot. Obviously client certificate is recognized by Dovecot: Apr 25 14:29:01 dovecot dovecot: imap-login: Valid certificate: /emailAddress=christian.felsing(a)example.net/CN=Christian Felsing (Test)/OU=CF Certificates/O=example.net/C=DE AFAIK Dovecot always requires IMAP login, even in "static" passdb config. Static means arbitrary password is ok, but not "no login" I hope, I am wrong, following log entry gave a hint, what Thunderbird does or more precisely - not do: Apr 25 14:29:01 dovecot dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts in 5 secs): user=<>, rip=192.168.1.99, lip=192.168.42.1, TLS, session=<3+1THN33NQBtWq5D> Dovecot wants an IMAP login, but Thunderbird does not so. I am not sure if that is a bug (or feature) of Dovecot or Thunderbird. Thunderbird does several strange things on client certificates: 1st) If Dovecot is configured to request a client certificate and Thunderbird is configured to use plain text auth, Thunderbird offers a client certificate and login succeeds as configured in Dovecot. Unfortunately Thunderbird uses same certificate for all configured accounts to that host. Very bad if Dovecot reads username from certificate attributes. 2nd) If Dovecot is configured to request a client certificate and Thunderbird is configured to use TLS-Certificate, Thunderbird also offers a client certificate, but Dovecot requests login from Thunderbird. That fails, because Thunderbird assumes TLS-Certificate is enough for successful log. If it is true that Dovecot is not compatible to Thunderbirds way of TLS-Certificate Authentication, I consider to set up a proxy, which supports that way. May be Nginx would be a solution, it supports IMAP and LUA module plus some LUA code will fake the authentication. This is an ugly hack so I would like to avoid that, if anybody has a better solution. Thunderbird is a very widespread IMAP client so it should not be ignored. best regards Christian ---Dovecot config--- # /opt/dovecot/bin/doveconf -n # 2.2.12: /opt/dovecot/etc/dovecot-cert/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 x86_64 Debian 7.4 auth_debug = yes auth_debug_passwords = yes auth_master_user_separator = * auth_ssl_require_client_cert = yes auth_ssl_username_from_cert = yes auth_username_chars = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ01234567890.-_@#" auth_username_translation = "@#" base_dir = /var/run/dovecot-cert first_valid_uid = 124 last_valid_uid = 124 listen = 192.168.42.1 log_timestamp = %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S login_greeting = example.net imap4/pop3 (cert only) ready. mail_gid = 124 mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir mail_privileged_group = vmail mail_uid = 124 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 imapflags notify namespace { list = children location = maildir:%%h/Maildir:INDEX=~/Maildir/shared/%%u prefix = shared/%%u/ separator = / subscriptions = no type = shared } namespace inbox { inbox = yes list = 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 = password=test driver = static } plugin { acl = vfile:/etc/dovecot/global-acls:cache_secs=300 acl_shared_dict = file:/var/lib/dovecot/shared-mailboxes autocreate = Trash autocreate2 = Drafts autosubscribe = Trash autosubscribe2 = Drafts quota = maildir:User quota quota_rule = *:storage=500M quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+100M quota_warning = storage=95%% quota-warning 95 %u quota_warning2 = storage=80%% quota-warning 80 %u recipient_delimiter = + sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve sieve_extensions = +notify +imapflags } protocols = imap pop3 lmtp sieve service anvil { client_limit = 4000 } service auth-worker { group = vmail } service auth { client_limit = 8000 unix_listener auth-master { group = vmail mode = 0660 user = vmail } unix_listener auth-userdb { group = vmail mode = 0660 user = dovecot } user = root } service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 143 } inet_listener imaps { port = 993 ssl = yes } process_limit = 1024 } service imap-postlogin { executable = script-login /opt/cfbin/lastlogin.sh } service imap { executable = imap imap-postlogin } service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve { port = 4190 } inet_listener sieve_deprecated { port = 2000 } } service pop3-login { inet_listener pop3 { port = 110 } inet_listener pop3s { port = 995 ssl = yes } process_limit = 1024 } service pop3-postlogin { executable = script-login /opt/cfbin/lastlogin.sh } service pop3 { executable = pop3 pop3-postlogin } service quota-warning { executable = script /opt/cfbin/quota-warning.sh user = vmail } ssl_ca = </opt/dovecot/etc/dovecot/client-ca.pem ssl_cert = </opt/dovecot/etc/dovecot/example.net.pem ssl_cipher_list = kEECDH:kEDH:AESGCM:ALL:+3DES:!RC4:!LOW:!EXP:!MD5:!aNULL:!eNULL ssl_dh_parameters_length = 4096 ssl_key = </opt/dovecot/etc/dovecot/example.net.key ssl_prefer_server_ciphers = yes ssl_verify_client_cert = yes verbose_ssl = yes protocol imap { imap_client_workarounds = tb-extra-mailbox-sep mail_max_userip_connections = 20 mail_plugins = quota imap_quota acl imap_acl } protocol sieve { managesieve_logout_format = bytes ( in=%i : out=%o ) } protocol pop3 { mail_plugins = quota pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv }

[Dovecot] separating logs by port
by Hanno Böck 25 Apr '14

25 Apr '14

Hi, I wanted to ask if there's an easy way to log the port in dovecot. The background is that, as everyone's probably aware, pop3/imap usually listen on two ports (110/995 for pop3, 143/993 for imap). One port is the "classic" port that allows unencrypted and STARTTLS connections, the other is the legacy SSL port that allows TLS only connections. The legacy SSL ports are considered deprecated and I'd like to know if I can deprecate them on my severs. Therefore I'd like to know how many users use them, but at the moment I can't see which port my users use. I haven't found an easy way to detect that. The easiest thing would be if there'd be a way to add the port number to the pop3-login/imap-login lines in the log files. Any way to do that? cu, -- Hanno Böck http://hboeck.de/ mail/jabber: hanno(a)hboeck.de GPG: BBB51E42

[Dovecot] Multiple Instances Of Dovecot On One Messagebase
by Christian Felsing 25 Apr '14

25 Apr '14

Hello, I would like to run multiple instances of Dovecot with same message base (maildir format) Will this set up work or would that destroy message base? Intention is to offer different authentication methods to users, username/password and client certificates. Those instances should run on different IP addresses which is supported by Dovecot. Unfortunately Dovecot does not allow different auth configs in "local <ip> {}" sections. best regards Christian

My old mail server used 2.x dovecot version. you post very little information: 1) how are the messages storred on the old server, which storage backend do you use, maybe Maildir? 2) the storage backend on the new server? 3) do you care about the message UIDs? 4) How many users do you have (approx.) and can you access the user's mailboxes via IMAP, e.g. using a master user or do you know their password or can you switch to a known password during migration of one particular user? 5) Did you've changed namespaces? - From your first post I figure that the basic mail server functionality of the new server is working, most importantly login, message delivery and retrieval. > -----Original Message----- From: Steffen Kaiser > Sent: Thursday, April 10, 2014 6:14 AM > To: K.
