[Dovecot] Advanced dovecot tricks - spam review/release
by Marc Perkel 16 Oct '12

16 Oct '12

Hi, I'm looking for some advice to do a really advanced trick with Dovecot. I'm not sure if this can be done. I need to describe first. I have a spam filtering company that does front end spam filtering. (Junk Email Filter) I want to add a system where I store a copy of spam on a server and make it available to the customer to review and maybe resent on false positives. I know I could do something simple where I deliver all spam to a domain account and make it available to an administrator. Then if it's a false positive they would drag the message to a "resend" folder. I'll have something the checks the folder one a minute to pick up and resend. However What would be very cool is delivering the spam to individual accounts. So a user who logs in individually can see their own spam. But the admin for the domain would be able to see all users. Maybe the users would appear as folders? Then a master account (me) would be able to log in and see all the domains as folders and the users as folders inside the domains? One thing I can do is deliver the spam to 3 different places so it's visible on all levels. I'm just wondering if anyone out there has any ideas about that. And I'll need an authentication system.

In some of my maildrop filters I have rules with weighted scoring[1], but only to count headers (for example to count "Received:" header) ie. all these rules are of form "/pattern/:h,1" Can dovecot sieve do this?

HELP! I have installed sendmail, dovecot, and squirrel mail. The squirrel mail portion of it works just fine, but I would like to have Mozilla Thunderbird as a client. Whenever I try and connect to the server it says "Thunderbird failed to find the settings for your email account." We do have an MX record in DNS pointing to our server. We are using Ubuntu 12.0.4.1, and have Dovecot 2.2.6 sendmail version 8.14.4-2ubuntu2 We are doing this for a class project and it is due by Tuesday 10/16/2012.. Thanks, Justin

[Dovecot] dsync ignores ssh-agent
by Mark Hills 13 Oct '12

13 Oct '12

I use IMAP over SSH, in pre-auth. I wanted to use dsync to offline mail to my laptop. dsync v2.1.10 would always ask for my SSH key/passphrase, ignoring ssh-agent. The culprit is the env_clean() in the stack below. Reading the source, I saw DOVECOT_PRESERVE_ENVS. When used as follows in my script it enables dsync to find my ssh-agent: export DOVECOT_PRESERVE_ENVS="SSH_AGENT_PID SSH_AUTH_SOCK" dsync mirror ssh imap.example.com /home/mark/opt/dovecot/bin/dsync and it now works without asking for password every time. I'm posting here so that anyone else googling for the same problem will hopefully find this, as I couldn't find anything about this in the docs. Also I'm interested in why dsync so aggressively cleans the environment; I tried a naive removal of env_clean() but this breaks basic functions. With this dsync is working very well for offline mail -- combined with alpine and a local exim for the outbound queue :) Thanks -- Mark Breakpoint 2, env_clean () at env-util.c:59 59 if (clearenv() < 0) (gdb) bt #0 env_clean () at env-util.c:59 #1 0xb7df10fc in master_service_env_clean () at master-service.c:454 #2 0xb7df26d4 in master_service_exec_config (service=0x809e7d0, input=0xbffff7e4) at master-service-settings.c:103 #3 0xb7df29be in config_exec_fallback (service=0x809e7d0, input=0xbffff7e4) at master-service-settings.c:153 #4 0xb7df2b65 in master_service_open_config (service=0x809e7d0, input=0xbffff7e4, path_r=0xbffff780, error_r=0xbffff7d8) at master-service-settings.c:206 #5 0xb7df3130 in master_service_settings_read (service=0x809e7d0, input=0xbffff7e4, output_r=0xbffff7dc, error_r=0xbffff7d8) at master-service-settings.c:345 #6 0x0805c672 in doveadm_read_settings () at doveadm.c:275 #7 0x0805c7d6 in main (argc=5, argv=0x809e1c0) at doveadm.c:342

[Dovecot] INBOX.INBOX.Sent causes problems in 2.0
by Christoph Bußenius 12 Oct '12

12 Oct '12

Hi, we have our namespace rooted at "INBOX.". Sometimes, users have folders like "INBOX.INBOX.Sent" or "INBOX.INBOX.INBOX.Sent". I do not know why these folders are created; I suspect it is due to buggy MUAs. If a mailbox like INBOX.INBOX.Sent exists, then in some cases Dovecot counts all messages in INBOX twice. This behavior can be demonstrated as follows: 1) Create a folder named "INBOX.INBOX.Sent" (using the IMAP CREATE command) 2) Save a message to "INBOX" (in my example the message is 7 MB) 3) dovecot-quota contains: priv/quota/storage 7129025 priv/quota/messages 1 4) doveadm quota recalc -u user1 5) Now dovecot-quota contains priv/quota/storage 14258050 priv/quota/messages 2 I.e. the user will experience that his quota fills up very fast. "doveadm -f flow fetch -u user1 'mailbox guid' ALL" prints: mailbox=INBOX guid=040ce73645177850497d000040c59ffc mailbox=INBOX guid=040ce73645177850497d000040c59ffc However, "doveadm -f flow fetch -u user1 'mailbox guid' mailbox INBOX" prints the message only once: mailbox=INBOX guid=040ce73645177850497d000040c59ffc How can we prevent this kind of confusion? What I'd like most is prevent the creation of these weird folders. Most MUAs have problems listing them properly, especially if both "INBOX.Sent" and "INBOX.INBOX.Sent" exist. Dovecot 2.1 does not seem to count anything twice. Cheers, Christoph Config: # 2.0.21: /usr/local/dovecot/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf doveconf: Warning: service auth { client_limit=4096 } is lower than required under max. load (6224) # OS: Linux 2.6.32-42-server x86_64 Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS disable_plaintext_auth = no mail_gid = vmail mail_location = mdbox:~/mail mail_plugins = quota mail_uid = vmail namespace default { inbox = yes location = prefix = INBOX. separator = . type = private } passdb { args = scheme=CRYPT username_format=%u /usr/local/dovecot/etc/dovecot/users driver = passwd-file } plugin { quota = dict:ROOT::file:%h/dovecot-quota quota_rule = *:storage=5G } protocols = imap pop3 service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { group = vmail mode = 0660 } } service imap { process_limit = 5000 } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { args = /usr/local/dovecot/etc/dovecot/users driver = passwd-file } protocol imap { imap_client_workarounds = tb-extra-mailbox-sep mail_max_userip_connections = 20 mail_plugins = quota imap_quota } And the contents of the "users" file: user1:{plain}secret:::user1:/mail/users/user1:: -- Christoph Bußenius Rechnerbetriebsgruppe der Fakultäten Informatik und Mathematik Technische Universität München +49 89-289-18519 <> Raum 00.05.040 <> Boltzmannstr. 3 <> Garching

[Dovecot] [PATCH] dovadm plugins underlinking
by Natanael Copa 12 Oct '12

12 Oct '12

Hi, Running doveadm on Alpine Linux will show various underlinking errors: /usr/bin/doveadm: symbol 'acl_user_module': can't resolve symbol in lib '/usr/lib/dovecot/doveadm/lib10_doveadm_acl_plugin.so'. /usr/bin/doveadm: symbol 'acl_identifier_parse': can't resolve symbol in lib '/usr/lib/dovecot/doveadm/lib10_doveadm_acl_plugin.so'. ... (complete list is found here: http://bugs.alpinelinux.org/issues/1274) I understand that those are "harmless" (at least as long as you dont use those plugins), and even if some dynamic linkers are forgiving, the doveadm plugin modules are technically underlinked. The lib10_doveadm_acl_plugin.so uses symbol acl_user_module: $ nm -D /usr/lib/dovecot/doveadm/lib10_doveadm_acl_plugin.so | grep acl_user_module U acl_user_module That symbol is defined in lib01_acl_plugin.so: $ nm -D /usr/lib/dovecot/lib01_acl_plugin.so | grep acl_user_module 000000000020fb80 D acl_user_module Which means that lib10_doveadm_acl_plugin.so should be directly linked to lib01_acl_plugin.so.

hi- i'm setting up an imap proxy in front of a novell groupwise server. it seems to so far be partially working, but dovecot is having trouble in certain cases. i expect that it's ultimately due to what i believe is a very poor implementation of imap provided by groupwise [at least based on other experiences in the past] - but that's a big part of why i'd like to have dovecot in between it and clients. below is information collected during starting of dovecot, opening/initial connection from a client [os x mail.app], closing of the client, and stopping of dovecot. os is ubuntu 12.10 development/beta, dovecot is 2.1.7 courtesy of ubuntu's packages. log entries: Oct 11 13:24:33 halo dovecot: master: Dovecot v2.1.7 starting up Oct 11 13:24:49 halo dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<jdoe>, method=PLAIN, rip=10.68.40.110, lip=10.59.1.53, mpid=14171, TLS, session=<iHgu2cvLlwAKRChu> Oct 11 13:24:50 halo dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<jdoe>, method=PLAIN, rip=10.68.40.110, lip=10.59.1.53, mpid=14174, TLS, session=<t1E/2cvLoQAKRChu> Oct 11 13:24:51 halo dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<jdoe>, method=PLAIN, rip=10.68.40.110, lip=10.59.1.53, mpid=14176, TLS, session=<OZlM2cvLqgAKRChu> Oct 11 13:24:51 halo dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<jdoe>, method=PLAIN, rip=10.68.40.110, lip=10.59.1.53, mpid=14178, TLS, session=<d3NU2cvLsQAKRChu> Oct 11 13:24:51 halo dovecot: imap(jdoe): Connection closed in=16 out=350 Oct 11 13:24:52 halo dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<jdoe>, method=PLAIN, rip=10.68.40.110, lip=10.59.1.53, mpid=14180, TLS, session=<oxNa2cvLtAAKRChu> Oct 11 13:24:52 halo dovecot: imap(jdoe): Error: imapc: Mailbox 'Trash' state corrupted: Expunged message reappeared in session (uid=6282 < next_uid=6283) Oct 11 13:24:52 halo dovecot: imap(jdoe): Fatal: master: service(imap): child 14176 killed with signal 11 (core dumped) Oct 11 13:24:57 halo dovecot: imap(jdoe): Error: imapc: Mailbox 'Trash' state corrupted: Expunged message reappeared in session (uid=6282 < next_uid=6283) Oct 11 13:24:57 halo dovecot: imap(jdoe): Fatal: master: service(imap): child 14178 killed with signal 11 (core dumped) Oct 11 13:24:57 halo dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<jdoe>, method=PLAIN, rip=10.68.40.110, lip=10.59.1.53, mpid=14182, TLS, session=<FUCv2cvLuAAKRChu> Oct 11 13:24:58 halo dovecot: imap(jdoe): Error: imapc: Mailbox 'Trash' state corrupted: Expunged message reappeared in session (uid=6282 < next_uid=6283) Oct 11 13:24:58 halo dovecot: imap(jdoe): Fatal: master: service(imap): child 14180 killed with signal 11 (core dumped) Oct 11 13:25:03 halo dovecot: imap(jdoe): Error: imapc: Mailbox 'Trash' state corrupted: Expunged message reappeared in session (uid=6282 < next_uid=6283) Oct 11 13:25:03 halo dovecot: imap(jdoe): Fatal: master: service(imap): child 14182 killed with signal 11 (core dumped) Oct 11 13:25:03 halo dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<jdoe>, method=PLAIN, rip=10.68.40.110, lip=10.59.1.53, mpid=14184, TLS, session=<DQkF2svLuwAKRChu> Oct 11 13:25:03 halo dovecot: imap(jdoe): Error: imapc: Mailbox 'Trash' state corrupted: Expunged message reappeared in session (uid=6282 < next_uid=6283) Oct 11 13:25:03 halo dovecot: imap(jdoe): Fatal: master: service(imap): child 14184 killed with signal 11 (core dumped) Oct 11 13:25:09 halo dovecot: imap(jdoe): Error: imapc: Mailbox 'Trash' state corrupted: Expunged message reappeared in session (uid=6282 < next_uid=6283) Oct 11 13:25:09 halo dovecot: imap(jdoe): Fatal: master: service(imap): child 14174 killed with signal 11 (core dumped) [repeats] Oct 11 13:25:27 halo dovecot: dns-client: Warning: Killed with signal 15 (by pid=1 uid=0 code=kill) Oct 11 13:25:27 halo dovecot: dns-client: Warning: Killed with signal 15 (by pid=1 uid=0 code=kill) Oct 11 13:25:27 halo dovecot: master: Warning: Killed with signal 15 (by pid=1 uid=0 code=kill) Oct 11 13:25:27 halo dovecot: auth: Warning: Killed with signal 15 (by pid=1 uid=0 code=kill) Oct 11 13:25:27 halo dovecot: config: Warning: Killed with signal 15 (by pid=1 uid=0 code=kill) Oct 11 13:25:27 halo dovecot: ssl-params: Warning: Killed with signal 15 (by pid=1 uid=0 code=kill) Oct 11 13:25:27 halo dovecot: anvil: Warning: Killed with signal 15 (by pid=1 uid=0 code=kill) Oct 11 13:25:27 halo dovecot: log: Warning: Killed with signal 15 (by pid=1 uid=0 code=kill) gdb backtrace: ~ >gdb /usr/lib/dovecot/imap /var/cache/imapproxy/jdoe/core GNU gdb (GDB) 7.5-ubuntu Copyright (C) 2012 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

[Dovecot] per-user quotas
by David Mehler 12 Oct '12

12 Oct '12

Hello, I've got quotas set up on an all-user basis on my system, it's a Postfix, Dovecot, Mysql virtual users setup. Currently I have each user getting a 1GB quota with these settings in 90-quota.conf: plugin { quota_rule = *:storage=1G quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+100M } plugin { quota = maildir:User quota } While this works it's not what I want for all users. Say I add a virtual user called user1 to the mysql database but he's a test user and I only want that user to have 25 megabytes of storage, reading the wiki on quotas per-user items such as for example in a database overrides the global items above, is this right? If so, I'm hoping I'm not going to have to redo my entire user database, some users will have per-user quotas while I'll let others have the global quota. Thanks. Dave.

[Dovecot] Feature Request
by Marc Perkel 12 Oct '12

12 Oct '12

It would be handy (for me) if there were a userdb where a directory structure defined the db. userdb stat { mail_location=maildir:/fakedir/%d/%n:INBOX=/email/%d/%n:LAYOUT=fs } userdb stat { mail_location=maildir:/email/%d/%n:INBOX=/email/%d/%n:LAYOUT=fs } The idea being that if the first directory doesn't exist then it will try the second one.

[Dovecot] Multiple Maildir?
by Marc Perkel 12 Oct '12

12 Oct '12

OK - Getting close to everything working in my weird configuration. Here's a problem I'm still having. I'm authenticating with this: userdb { driver = sql args = /etc/dovecot/master-combined-sql.conf } Default mail location: mail_location = maildir:/fakedir/%d/%n:INBOX=/email/%d/%n:LAYOUT=fs However - what I'd like to do is if the mail location doesn't exist then I want to try a second mail location: mail_location = maildir:/email/%d/%n:INBOX=/email/%d/%n:LAYOUT=fs How do I do that? Thanks in advance

[Dovecot] Shared Squat index for public mailboxes
by Frerich Raabe 11 Oct '12

11 Oct '12

Hi, I'm running Dovecot 1.2.17 for serving mail via IMAP as well as for providing access to a mailing list archive. The archive is implemented as a public read-only mailbox with per-user index files (i.e. the \Seen flags are per-user). I recently enbled the Squat plugin to accelerate searches in the message bodies and noticed that every user (I'm using a virtual user setup) gets his own dovecot.index.search and dovecot.index.search.uids copies. Is it possible to share those files among all users of the system? The squat plugin appears to store the search indices among the other index files (as explained on http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/FTS/Squat) no matter what; I considered storing a central copy of the index files somewhere and then creating symlinks for all users. It should be ok as far as file-permissions go since all mail is owned by a single vmail system user, but I wonder whether the indices are really the same (I noticed their md5 checksums differ) and whether there may be file locking issues in case two users search message bodies simultaneously. Can anybody shed some light? -- Frerich Raabe - raabe(a)froglogic.com www.froglogic.com - Multi-Platform GUI Testing

[Dovecot] memory allocation in new thread
by . . 11 Oct '12

11 Oct '12

Hi! I have some problems with memory allocation. I create new thread in cidir storage and call malloc(), and it fails to allocate even 1 byte. What can cause this problem? Dovecot vesrion is: 2.1.10 (130563b592c9+) Sample code looks like this (I also link to pthread with: -pthread): #define TEST_MALLOC() \ { \ void *p; \ p = malloc(1); \ if (!p) { \ i_info("%s: malloc() failed", __FUNCTION__); \ } else { \ i_info("%s: malloc() succeeded", __FUNCTION__); \ free(p); \ } \ } #include <pthread.h> static void *test_pthread_malloc_func(void *data_) { TEST_MALLOC(); return NULL; } static void test_pthread_malloc() { int ret; pthread_t tid; TEST_MALLOC(); ret = pthread_create(&tid, NULL, test_pthread_malloc_func, NULL); if (ret) { i_info("failed to start thread"); } else { pthread_join(tid, NULL); } } I call test_pthread_malloc() function. It produces following output: Oct 11 12:56:15 imap(guest): Info: test_pthread_malloc: malloc() succeeded Oct 11 12:56:15 imap(guest): Info: test_pthread_malloc_func: malloc() failed

[Dovecot] Irrelevant information filling logs
by 3.listas＠adminlinux.com.br 11 Oct '12

11 Oct '12

Hi, I have a "Ubuntu10.04 + dovecot-2.0.13" configuration in my server. My mailbox server is shared by ~ 10k domains. It works fine with ~50k accounts. There is a lot of logs of "quota exceeded" like this: Oct 10 13:00:56 mailboxserver5 dovecot: lmtp(29105, user@mailboxserver5): Error: ifcIN1NxdVCxcQAAMBx7mQ: sieve: msgid=unspecified: failed to store into mailbox 'INBOX': Quota exceeded (mailbox for user is full) These messages are not important to me. But these messages fill the log files, damaging the display of messages that could be important. Is there a way to send specific Dovecot errors on specific files or just discard them? Thanks -- Thiago Henrique adminlinux.com.br

[Dovecot] some questions on AOX or rather a mail system setup
by Christoph Anton Mitterer 11 Oct '12

11 Oct '12

Hi folks. Perhaps you find some time to look into this,... I'm trying to plan my mail system and would have some questions. The overall idea is about the following: - There is a (internet) server, which is the MTA (which will be postfix) and imap and/or pop3 server (which shall be, guess, dovecot ... AOX comes in later). - Any spam filtering, virus-scanning, mail filtering happens on that server. - I have not yet decided on whether to use maildrop for this or Sieve. Maildrop is nice, but has one major deficiency which I don't know how to work around. - A few clients (that means I won't serve 100 of users) connect to that server via imap and should see all mails, etc. already in some fancy sorted hierarchy (that means filtered into different directories). So far nothing complicated. But now... - Apart from spam, I never delete mail; and because I'm subscribed to many lists, I get a lot of mail. - Storage on my server is limited and it's located somewhere at my ISP, so I generally do not trust it with respect to safety... For both reasons, I want the canonical archive of all mail to be at home at some local server. - The local server should also be an imap server, so that I can access the archive from may computers at home. - The local server won't be available from the internet. - The local archive should have the same folder hierarchy as the internet server (I'd prefer not to filter twice). - The local archive might be AOX... Mail Flow: - I generally want to have _all_ mail (which is not sorted out because of being spam) to be archived at the local server. - But(!) I want to selectively keep (in addition) mail at the internet server. For example I may want to select the folder that contains all mail form some friend to be kept online completely. But I may want to decide that mailinglists keep only the last 10 days and/or 1000 messages of mail. - The idea is, that the local server regularly (when it is online/running) catches new mail from the internet server... and stores it in the archive. - So apart from new mail that has not yet been read, that local archive contains always all mails that are also on the internet server... the later may contain (for specific directories) the same, or just parts of. - The MUAs will then have two imap accounts, one to the internet server and one to the local archive,... each one being usable, depending on where I am. 1) This is where my first problem arises: How can I implement that mail flow, especially: - How do I secure that all mail is read from the internet server (i.e. that nothing is "forgotten"? - How do I make sure that no mails are retrieved twice (or more)? A problem which I often had with pop, when the mail client crashed during sync? - Further it must be secured, that when I delete something on the internet server, it is NOT deleted on the local server (on the next mail-fetching).... this is why I don't use the word "sync". a) One stupid solution would be, that I duplicate all mail on the online server,... one part is for staying online, one part is for being fetched to the local archive. As soon as it was fetched... that copy gets removed (always). That solution would give a clean and secured separation of both? b) I don't think offlineimap or any other caching-like solution is the right thing... especially as one must always fear that such a cache may be accidentally wiped. Are there better solutions than (a)? 2) Problem would be already a refinement of a working solution for (1) (but obviously not when using (1).(a) ). When e.g. reply to or forward a mail using the online server,... and that mail had already been fetched,... can I make the flag synced? 3) Is AOX suitable for the local server? - I couldn't use maildir locally, because I loose just to much space to the block fragmentation. But I guess I won't have this problem with the DB backend. a) Is AOX able to manage a really big folder hierarchy that basically ever keeps growing... with easily several 100k mails per folder... and that is in total already over 100GB? I read that e.g. dovecot would have more performance problems with that. b) I would prefer to have fast full text search. Does AOX provide this? I read that IMAP has limitations which make full text search not really usable via it? Further, I remember some dovecot wiki page that showed a comparison which said that both do not perfectly implement imap. Thanks a lot, Chris.

[Dovecot] About ManageSieve and TLS
by 3.listas＠adminlinux.com.br 10 Oct '12

10 Oct '12

Hi, I have a "ubuntu10.04 + dovecot-2.0.13" configuration in my server. It works fine with ~50k accounts. Recently I enabled TLS: $ cat /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf ... # Use SSL ? ssl = yes ... The goal was to provide only IMAPS and POP3S. But Managesieve says "STARTTLS": $ telnet _MY_IP_ 2000 Trying _MY_IP_... Connected to _MY_IP_. Escape character is '^]'. "IMPLEMENTATION" "K8 ManageSieve" "SIEVE" "comparator-i;ascii-numeric copy envelope fileinto imapflags include notify regex reject relational subaddress vacation" "SASL" "PLAIN LOGIN" "STARTTLS" "VERSION" "1.0" OK "K8 IMAP/POP3 server" doveconf -a shows: service managesieve-login { ... inet_listener sieve { address = _MY_IP_ port = 4190 ssl = no } inet_listener sieve_deprecated { address = _MY_IP_ port = 2000 ssl = no } ... } I think there is something wrong there but I don't know. I think Managesieve should not say "STARTTLS". Can someone help me? Thanks. -- Thiago Henrique adminlinux.com.br
