[Dovecot] Proxy to join two accounts
by Tomek 23 Nov '12

23 Nov '12

Hello, I have server with IMAP on dovecot for user mails and second server on archiveopteryx as mail archive. I'm wondering if it's possible to make some sort of proxy to these two servers in way where: - dovecot server will be main IMAP service with INBOX, etc - I want archiveopteryx account to be something like shared folder with read only access (no delete, no move, etc) in path ex. /archive/user.name - this proxy mappings should allow adding few archive accounts to one user (in case of people replacement) + it will be cool if this mappings could be defined in database so I could write tools to manage archive access for bosses. Is such case possible to achieve with dovecot (any howto or example would be very helpful)? If not - do you know any proxy tools that could allow such configuration? Thanks for any help. Regards, Tomek.

[Dovecot] v2.1.10: Director director_servers order issue
by Bertrand Jacquin 23 Nov '12

23 Nov '12

Hi, I'm setting up an IMAP/POP cluster using dovecot director for some NFS reasons and I'm getting some troubles with director_servers directive. Configuration is shared on both nodes : director_servers = 10.0.50.50 10.0.50.51 director_mail_servers = 192.168.0.150 192.168.0.151 director_user_expire = 15 min service director { unix_listener login/director { mode = 0666 } fifo_listener login/proxy-notify { mode = 0600 user = $default_login_user } unix_listener director-userdb { mode = 0600 } inet_listener { port = 9090 } } service ipc { unix_listener ipc { user = $default_login_user } } Here 10.0.50.50 is node1, 10.0.50.51 is node2 # ring status on node1 director ip port type last failed 10.0.50.50 9090 self never 10.0.50.51 9090 never # ring status on node2 director ip port type last failed 10.0.50.50 9090 self never 10.0.50.51 9090 never self is the same on both nodes, and that generate some cases that can be observed on logs : # logs on node1 dovecot: director: Error: Remote director thinks it's someone else (connected to 10.0.50.51:9090, remote says it's 10.0.50.50:9090) And this is true, TCP packet contain bad DATA : # tcpdump -i eth0 -nn src host 10.0.50.51 and port 9090 -s 0 -w - -l | strings | egrep '^ME' ME 10.0.50.50 9090 # logs on node2 dovecot: director: Error: connect(10.0.50.51:9090) failed: Invalid argument Invalid argument is present as bind() is not done with the appropriate IP : # strace -p 6063 -fF -s 1024 -e trace=bind,connect bind(28, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(0), sin_addr=inet_addr("10.0.50.50")}, 16) = 0 connect(28, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(9090), sin_addr=inet_addr("10.0.50.51")}, 16) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument) Also, during this time, CPU is ~100% used. bind() is done with node1 IP address. I also tested using a DNS : director_servers = director-all director-all is two A entries, first containing 10.0.50.50, second 10.0.50.51 and the result here is exactly the same. Using two configurations : # director_servers on node1 director_servers = 10.0.50.50 10.0.50.51 # director_servers on node2 director_servers = 10.0.50.51 10.0.50.50 Give the same result as showed before : # ring status on node1 director ip port type last failed 10.0.50.50 9090 self never 10.0.50.51 9090 never # ring status on node2 director ip port type last failed 10.0.50.50 9090 self never 10.0.50.51 9090 never It seems that first sorted entry in director_servers is considered as "self". I'm using dovecot 2.1.10-0~auto+55 debian package from rename-it repository. Thanks for your help. -- Beber

[Dovecot] doveadm fails with passdb authentication binds (dovecot 2.0.16)

[Dovecot] whoson plugin for 2.0
by Chuck Cochems 23 Nov '12

23 Nov '12

I have found a plugin at ftp://ftp.ufanet.ru/pub/boco/dovecot/whoson-plugin/ I was able to make it function on a dovecot 1.2.8 server, by changing __attr_unused__ to ATTR_UNUSED and strlcpy to i_strocpy (since glibc doesn't HAVE strlcpy, on purpose). However, it doesn't work with 2.1 this is, of course, because getenv() no longer functions lie it used to in plugins. so i need a replacement for getenv("IP") and getenv("USER") to make this work. i know, pop before SMTP is stupid, but the isp i'm doing this for hs customers that have used pop before smtp for ages. so I MUST make a whoson plugin. as i said, the remote ip and the email address are required to interface with whoson. (this is superior to DRAC, which just opens the IP)

[Dovecot] User iteration with static userdb
by Radek Novotný 23 Nov '12

23 Nov '12

Hi all, can someone explain me, please, why user iteration (iterate_query) doesn't work with static userdb? There isn't reason why it shouldn't work. In my opinion. However static userdb doesn't mean that user list not exist. Thanks Radek

[Dovecot] Is there a hook for a plugin to do some transient operation on the mail body ...
by Jay 23 Nov '12

23 Nov '12

... when the MUA has issued a FETCH? I am a Dovecot newbie ... so please bear with me if this is obvious. Basically what I am trying to do is process the mail body (in my own specific way) before Dovecot serves it up to the MUA. I want to do it as a transient operation in memory. So think of the scenario as ... - the MUA issues a FETCH - Dovecot intercepts the FETCH - Dovecot internally gets the mail from the storage into a buffer in memory ----> This is where I'd like to apply a function to the mail body and modify the mail body in the buffer (not in the storage) - Dovecot serves up the (modified) mail to the MUA Looking for a hook that allows me to do it using a plugin. Looks like the zlib plugin does something similar ... applies a decompression function ... but I am not 100% sure. Thanks for your help. -- J.

[Dovecot] maildir and end-of-line encoding
by Christoph Anton Mitterer 23 Nov '12

23 Nov '12

Hi. I just wondered, the following: My MDA may get mails that use LF or CR/LF end of line encodings and deliver them into maildirs. I couldn't find any information about, whether one should or must convert all into one format, cause AFAIK at least on the IMAP side, CR/LF is always used? How does this work on the maildir/backend side of dovcot? Can it work with both and simply automatically convert LF into CR/LF? Thanks, Chris.

Thank you. One thing that still doesn't work is subscribing to all mailboxes via "*", I guess because the folder names start with "." but dovecot mailbbox subscribe wants it without a starting "." Any clues how that can be solved? Regards Andre

[Dovecot] v2.1 memory usage
by Timo Sirainen 21 Nov '12

21 Nov '12

v2.1's imap/pop3 processes are linked with OpenSSL by default, because of imapc/pop3c storages. I wonder if you notice any actual (system-global) memory usage reduction when compiling without those and you have thousands of imap processes? ./configure --with-storages=mdbox sdbox maildir mbox cydir I guess I could try it myself also but maybe someone else wanting to reduce memory usage is quicker? :) Related to that, you can look at where imap processes' memory goes with: http://dovecot.org/tools/linux-maps-parse-imap.pl I don't know how much memory those (writable!) file-backed memory areas actually use per-process. Maybe nothing, maybe something..

[Dovecot] ACL and SSL
by Dave Shariff Yadallee - System Administrator a.k.a. The Root of the Problem 20 Nov '12

20 Nov '12

Finally got Dovecot to work on ports 100 and 143. I would like to a) Learn about ACL esp on port 110 as there are still yodellaks that try to brake in on port 110. b) Setting up separate SSL cert for imaps and pop3s. -- For effective Internet Etiquette and communications read http://catb.org/jargon/html/T/top-post.html, http://idallen.com/topposting.html & http://www.caliburn.nl/topposting.html -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

[Dovecot] users mail folders have to be subscribed
by Andre Bischof 20 Nov '12

20 Nov '12

Hi, I did a migration from cyrus 2.2 to dovecot (fresh installation, details below) via cyrus2dovecot from FU Berlin. That worked, but I first was missing mails in subfolders ander Inbox. No I detected that they are in the users Maildir in folders in his directory. They are listed when using telnet: * LIST (\HasChildren) "." "INBOX.ebay" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.ebay.xj" But they are not shown in thunderbird, I have to subscribe to them one by one. I probably did something wrong and maybe messed up with namespace and seperator settings - it would be great if one could lead me out of that. The wiki was a great help installing and configuring everything, but now I'm stuck. I use dovecot 2.1.7 under Ubuntu 12.10: # dovecot -n # 2.1.7: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.5.0-18-generic x86_64 Ubuntu 12.10 auth_verbose = yes mail_debug = yes mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation s ubaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variab les body enotify environment mailbox date ihave namespace inbox { inbox = yes list = yes location = prefix = separator = . type = private } passdb { driver = pam } plugin { sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve } postmaster_address = postmaster@localhost protocols = imap pop3 sieve service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_cipher_list = ALL:!LOW:!SSLv2:ALL:!aNULL:!ADH:!eNULL:!EXP:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = passwd } protocol imap { imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail mail_max_userip_connections = 10 } protocol pop3 { mail_max_userip_connections = 10 pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh } } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_cipher_list = ALL:!LOW:!SSLv2:ALL:!aNULL:!ADH:!eNULL:!EXP:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = passwd } protocol imap { imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail mail_max_userip_connections = 10 } protocol pop3 { mail_max_userip_connections = 10 pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh } protocol lda { deliver_log_format = msgid=%m: %$ mail_plugins = sieve sieve postmaster_address = postmaster quota_full_tempfail = yes rejection_reason = Your message to <%t> was automatically rejected:%n%r } Any help is greatly appreciated!

[Dovecot] upgrade 1.0.15 -> 2.1.7: MBOX index compatibility and performance
by Benoit Branciard 19 Nov '12

19 Nov '12

Hi, we just upgraded our mailserver from Dovecot 1.0.15 to Dovecot 2.1.7. We use MBOX format (due to legacy compatibility), system users, PAM+GSSAPI auth, filesystem quotas, and indexes located on a separate filesystem: mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=~/mail/INBOX:INDEX=/var/cache/dovecot/indexes/%16Hu/%u The 2.1.7 configuration files have been rewritten based on default templates instead of converting it from 1.0.15. The server has ~8000 mailboxes and about ~2000 simultaneous IMAP/POP active connexions. The problem is: - indexes seem to be rebuilt: first IMAP/POP connexion for each user thows lots of error messages in the log, and the global index size decreases. Example error log: Nov 19 08:56:38 myhost dovecot: imap(myuser): Error: Cached message size larger than expected (27884 > 27855) Nov 19 08:56:38 myhost dovecot: imap(myuser): Error: Corrupted index cache file /var/cache/dovecot/indexes/4/myuser/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.cache: Broken physical size for mail UID 4414 Nov 19 08:56:38 myhost dovecot: imap(myuser): Error: Cached message size larger than expected (27884 > 27855) Nov 19 08:56:38 myhost dovecot: imap(myuser): Error: Corrupted index cache file /var/cache/dovecot/indexes/4/myuser/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.cache: Broken physical size for mail UID 4414 Nov 19 08:56:38 myhost dovecot: imap(myuser): Error: Cached message size larger than expected (27884 > 27855) Nov 19 08:56:38 myhost dovecot: imap(myuser): Error: Corrupted index cache file /var/cache/dovecot/indexes/4/myuser/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.cache: Broken physical size for mail UID 4414 Nov 19 08:56:38 myhost dovecot: imap(myuser): Error: Cached message size larger than expected (27884 > 27855) Nov 19 08:56:38 myhost dovecot: imap(myuser): Error: Corrupted index cache file /var/cache/dovecot/indexes/4/myuser/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.cache: Broken physical size for mail UID 4414 Nov 19 08:56:38 myhost dovecot: imap(myuser): Error: copy: i_stream_read() failed: Input/output error Nov 19 08:56:38 myhost dovecot: imap(myuser): Error: Cached message size larger than expected (27884 > 27855) Nov 19 08:56:38 myhost dovecot: imap(myuser): Error: Corrupted index cache file /var/cache/dovecot/indexes/4/myuser/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.cache: Broken physical size for mail UID 4414 - load average is extremely high (more than 10x the usual one), resulting from an significant increase of disk I/O, and for now (4h after the "monday rush") this doesn't seem to decrease. Questions: - are 1.05 indexes supposed to be backward compatible with Dovecot 2.1.7 ? - are there some technical reasons which could explain the increase of disk I/O, apart from index rebuild ? -- Benoit BRANCIARD Service InfraStructures (SIS) - Direction du Système d'Information (DSI) Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne Centre Pierre Mendès France B 406 - 90, rue de Tolbiac - 75634 Paris cedex 13 - France Tél : +33 1 44 07 89 68 - Fax : +33 1 44 07 89 66 Accueil tél. : +33 1 44 07 89 65 Assistance : assistance-dsi(a)univ-paris1.fr Web : http://dsi.univ-paris1.fr -- Ce message a ete verifie par MailScanner pour des virus ou des polluriels et rien de suspect n'a ete trouve.

[Dovecot] advices for a new installation
by Surviet Amine 18 Nov '12

18 Nov '12

hello everyone, first of all, please forgive my bad english skill, I live in France. On our "old" Dovecot 1.x architecture, we have NFS shares between the front servers (MTA, IMAP...) and mail storage server. I've read some wiki2 pages that present the new director and imap proxy. But I'm still don't see things clearly, so I post here to have your advices to set-up a new mail architecture. The hardware we have : - 24x hard drives in a SAS bay - this bay is directly attached via SAS to a server that I'll call : mail storage server - 2 others servers run ProxMox Virtual Environment The PVE will help us to get many virtual servers : - MX : "mail in" servers - IMAP/POP : our hosted clients services These clients may come from webmail (RoundCube) and others clients (Outlook, Thunderbird, mobile clients...) - RoundCube webmail - MySQL server (hosts in databases accounts and settings for Postfix, Dovecot and RoundCube) - maybe antivirus and antispam servers I've read several threads about NFS and IMAP issues. So I decided to not keeping it. In this scenario, I've tried for the mail receiving part : - front-end (postfix lmtp-client) to mail storage server (lmtp server) that seems to runs fine, now i'll must try to add antispam and antivirus scans Now, for the IMAP part, could you, please tell me, if it is better to : - have several IMAP frontend servers that proxy to the mail storage server or - still keeps NFS between the mail storage server and the frontends Dovecot ? On our Dovecot 1.x webmail use imapproxy. I've read that others proxies exist. We have used for a limited time Perdition. What is the differences between imapproxy, Perdition, nginx imap proxy and Dovecot proxy ? Thanks for sharing your experience of "large mail service" that are solid enought to be scaled.
