[Dovecot] [LMTP] sieve filter does not drop privilleges?
by kjonca＠o2.pl 25 Mar '14

25 Mar '14

I have (user) sieve filter in my home dir. This filter uses "vnd.dovecot.filter" extension to call some shell scripts. These scrips creates some temporary files. Strange thing: whent sieve is called via dovecot-lda - these files are created by user "kjonca" when sieve is called via lmtp - these files are created by root. Is there any way to drop privilleges where lmtp passing messages to sieve? KJ -- http://wolnelektury.pl/wesprzyj/teraz/

[Dovecot] Dovecot mail-filter cannot work with large email about 700k
by boyd yang 25 Mar '14

25 Mar '14

Hi All I configured dovecot 2.1.7 with mail-filter plugin. It works well for small emails like server k big.(7k) But it failed with larger emails about 700k. The scripts hang out, and the mail-filter-out process does not exist and always in ps. It does not work even I use "cat" in mail-filter-out.sh. Where to set the size limit for mail-filter? Do you know how to fix this? This bug also exists in 2.2.12. Thanks!

[Dovecot] Weird Authentication behaviour
by Jürgen Ladstätter 24 Mar '14

24 Mar '14

Hi guys, we use dovecot 2.0.9 and authentication against a mysql database. Everything works fine, but we found some weird behavior when the password is e.g. testpass you also authenticate successfully with testpass123 or testpassNOT. Whatever comes after the correct password doesnt matter, the authentication is still successful. Here are the used configs: // auth-sql.conf.ext passdb { driver = sql args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext } userdb { driver = static args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/data/mail/%d/%n } // dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = mysql connect = host=[IP] dbname=[DB] user=[USER] password=[PASS] default_pass_scheme = CRYPT password_query = SELECT `password`, `login` AS `user` FROM `v_email_accounts` WHERE `login`='%u' // 10-auth.conf disable_plaintext_auth = no auth_mechanisms = plain !include auth-sql.conf.ext // 10-master.conf default_process_limit = 1000 default_client_limit = 3003 default_vsz_limit = 1024M service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 143 } inet_listener imaps { port = 993 ssl = yes } service_count = 0 vsz_limit = 1024M } service pop3-login { inet_listener pop3 { port = 110 } inet_listener pop3s { port = 995 ssl = yes } } service lmtp { unix_listener lmtp { } } service imap { vsz_limit = 1024M process_limit = 2048 } service pop3 { process_limit = 2048 } service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { user = vmail group = vmail } client_limit = 8096 } service auth-worker { } service dict { unix_listener dict { } } Thanks in advance for your help!

[Dovecot] imap: Error: mmap() failed with file ... dovecot.index.cache: Cannot allocate memory
by Urban Loesch 24 Mar '14

24 Mar '14

Hi, since some days (about 10) I get the following error in mail error log many, many times: ... dovecot: imap(user(a)domain.com pid:32769 session:<dszL7lX1xADD/uGI>): Error: mmap() failed with file /home/dovecotindex/domain.com/user/mailboxes/Trash /dovecot.index.cache: Cannot allocate memory .... It's always the same "dovecot.index.cache" file and only for the same heavily used account. The account is currently used from about 10 different clients with imap at the sime time. I checked the size of the index cache file and it seems very big: total 2,7G -rw------- 1 mailstore mailstore 464 Mär 24 14:36 dovecot.index -rw------- 1 mailstore mailstore 464 Mär 24 14:36 dovecot.index.backup -rw------- 1 mailstore mailstore 2,7G Mär 24 14:19 dovecot.index.cache -rw------- 1 mailstore mailstore 140 Mär 24 14:45 dovecot.index.log -rw------- 1 mailstore mailstore 89K Mär 24 14:36 dovecot.index.log.2 About 2,7 GB? To solve the problem temporarily, I removed the index files from the index Trash folder and Dovecot initialized an index rebuild. Now the size of the index files are small: total 28K -rw------- 1 mailstore mailstore 512 Mär 24 14:47 dovecot.index -rw------- 1 mailstore mailstore 20K Mär 24 15:28 dovecot.index.cache -rw------- 1 mailstore mailstore 1,2K Mär 24 15:28 dovecot.index.log But why could the index cache file be so big? Many thanks Urban

[Dovecot] Dovecot/Django authentication
by Thomas Johnson 24 Mar '14

24 Mar '14

We've got an application in django that has passwords stored in both sha1 and pbkdf2_sha256 form. We need dovecot to be able to authenticate against the django database (we can't modify django to store passwords in dovecot's form, I'm afraid). Has anyone done a dovecot authentication plugin to support these password forms (and/or any other forms that django supports)? Thanks- Tom

[Dovecot] Case-sensitive INBOX or client issue?
by SB Code Ninja 24 Mar '14

24 Mar '14

I am using dovecot as an IMAP server for a Cisco product (Cisco Agent Desktop by Calabrio) and noticed some odd behavior when trying to access emails. The mail is delivered to the main INBOX, then a Cisco server moves it to a directory within the INBOX based on the queue it is meant for. Here is the directory structure of the Maildir: Maildir/INBOX Maildir/INBOX/tmp Maildir/INBOX/63 Maildir/INBOX/63/tmp Maildir/INBOX/63/dovecot.index.cache Maildir/INBOX/63/cur Maildir/INBOX/63/cur/1395445673.M548066P32100.uc-util,S=6403:2, Maildir/INBOX/63/dovecot.index.log Maildir/INBOX/63/dovecot-uidlist Maildir/INBOX/63/maildirfolder Maildir/INBOX/63/new Maildir/INBOX/dovecot.index.cache Maildir/INBOX/cur Maildir/INBOX/dovecot.index.log Maildir/INBOX/dovecot-uidlist Maildir/INBOX/62 Maildir/INBOX/62/tmp Maildir/INBOX/62/dovecot.index.cache Maildir/INBOX/62/cur Maildir/INBOX/62/cur/1395445491.M591207P32114.uc-util,S=6380:2, Maildir/INBOX/62/dovecot.index.log Maildir/INBOX/62/dovecot-uidlist Maildir/INBOX/62/maildirfolder Maildir/INBOX/62/new Maildir/INBOX/new Email is delivered to INBOX then gets moved to INBOX/62 or INBOX/63. The desktop software is then supposed to read the email and process it. I did a packet capture of the conversation and saw the following: IMAP Response: * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE AUTH=PLAIN] Dovecot ready. IMAP Request: A0 AUTHENTICATE PLAIN IMAP Response: + IMAP Request: <redacted> IMAP Response: A0 OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE SORT SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT IDLE CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE QRESYNC ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH LIST-STATUS] Logged in IMAP Request: A1 LIST "" Inbox/63 IMAP Response: A1 OK List completed. IMAP Request: A2 CREATE Inbox/63 IMAP Response: A2 NO [ALREADYEXISTS] Mailbox exists. If I login manually and do 'LIST "" INBOX/63' it works fine, but not with "Inbox/63". I was under the impression that INBOX was not case-sensitive. Is this a bug or is the client doing something silly?

[Dovecot] dsync in a cronjob to replace offlineimap
by Guilhem Moulin 24 Mar '14

24 Mar '14

Hi list, Replacing offlineimap with dsync for IMAP-to-IMAP synchronization (using dovecot 2.1.7) is working great, but now that I upgraded to 2.2.9 I'd like to take advantage of the incremental replication [1]. I don't think having a separate replicator process & notifications suits my configuration, as I want to sync my server with my laptop which is not always on or might be behind a firewall. After reading ‘replication/replicator/dsync-client.c’ I was thinking of writing a small wrapper around dsync performing a daily full replication and updating the state otherwise. The following works great in a cronjob doveadm sync -l30 imap.example.org but when I try to get the current state doveadm sync -l30 -fs '' imap.example.org >~/mail/dsync.state and later use incremental replication state=$(< ~/mail/dsync.state) doveadm sync -l30 -s "$state" imap.example.org >~/mail/dsync.state the state seems to somehow quickly become "stale" and messages stop being retrieved from the server. I understand that dsync's incremental replication is mostly intended to be used by the replicator process, but I'm wondering whether it's also possible to use it manually ;-) If so, how to keep a sane state? Thanks, cheers, -- Guilhem. [1] http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Replication

[Dovecot] Where can I find a stable PPA?

Hello, As the subject says, where can I find a stable PPA of Dovecot v2.2 for Ubuntu 12.04? I found this <https://launchpad.net/~kokelnet/+archive/dovecot22>, but the description says, "...I declare them as unstable." For obvious reasons, I don't want to use this. What should I do? Thanks, Daniel

[Dovecot] Debian Wheezy Dovecot Replication no updates on message deposit
by Milan Cvetkovic 21 Mar '14

21 Mar '14

Hi, I am trying to setup dovecot replication based on: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Replication http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2013-January/087674.html I know that 2.1.7 is dated, but I would refrain from upgrading, if not necessary. The problem I have is pretty much same as the one described in http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2013-January/087674.html: I have vmail user on both systems, setup with ssh public key logins with empty passphrase. Apparently, dsync happens only on periodic updates. If a message is deposited on one server, it will only propagate to the other once a while. Thanks, Milan. Here is doveconf -n output: # 2.1.7: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 x86_64 Debian 7.4 auth_mechanisms = plain login mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir mail_plugins = " notify replication" 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 namespace inbox { inbox = 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 = } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } plugin { mail_replica = remote:vmail@192.168.108.138 sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve } protocols = " imap sieve pop3" replication_full_sync_interval = 1 hours service aggregator { fifo_listener replication-notify-fifo { user = vmail } unix_listener replication-notify { user = vmail } } service auth { unix_listener auth-client { mode = 0660 user = Debian-exim } } service config { unix_listener config { user = vmail } } service doveadm { user = vmail } service replicator { process_min_avail = 1 unix_listener replicator-doveadm { mode = 0600 } } ssl_cert = </etc/exim4/exim.crt ssl_key = </etc/exim4/exim.key userdb { driver = prefetch } userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } protocol lda { mail_plugins = " sieve" }

[Dovecot] Dovecot + roundcube -- Password Change
by Vijay Rajah 21 Mar '14

21 Mar '14

Hello, I'm using Postfix + Dovecot (2.2.6) + roundcube 0.8.x + mysql. The roundcube webserver is hosted on a different server than the Dovecot. The dovecot itself is a replicated 2 node configuration. I would like to allow users to change the password from roundcube interface. All the examples I have seen, assume that roundcube runs in the same server as dovecot. Is there an example / documentation to enable this to work, applying reasonable security measures. -Thanks Vijay

[Dovecot] Password hashing issue
by Daniel Reynolds 20 Mar '14

20 Mar '14

Hello, First off, thanks in advance for all of your help. Now to my issue: I am setting up my first email server. It will be for just me and a few other people. I am using an Amazon EC2 server running Ubuntu 12.04. My MTA is postfix. As I said, this is my first time setting up an email server, so I am following a guide that Arstechnia has published (link<http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2014/03/taking-e-mail-back-pa…> ). My issue comes when I try to create a hashed of my passwords. I have tried entering the command, "doveadm pw -s SSHA512". When I do this, I get the error message, "doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/conf.d/99-mail-stack-delivery.conf line 6: Unknown setting: ssl_client_ca_dir". I have tried running that command with sudo and as root, but I still get the exact same error message. I had configured /etc/dovecot/conf.d/99-mail-stack-delivery.conf earlier on, and line 6 of that document says, "ssl_client_ca_dir = /etc/ssl/certs" which is exactly what the ars guide told me it should say. What have I done wrong? Thanks again, Daniel

Re: [Dovecot] versioning of mailbox index files
by morrison 19 Mar '14

19 Mar '14

My current approach is to introduce a index version file .dovecot.index.version in each mailbox and hooks mailbox_allocated event via my own plugin. If the version file does not exist or exist but with version number which need to be upgraded, index files in that mailbox are removed. I also tried to hook mailbox_opened() event and found that event was too late (index was loaded already). The side effect of hooking mailbox_allocated is that the event fires not only by 'select' command. 'list' command can also trigger a lot of mailbox_allocated events. Are there any better hook points I can use for this purpose? Thanks,

[Dovecot] Using a Sieve script to handle delivery to public mailboxes
by Alessandro Menti 19 Mar '14

19 Mar '14

Hello everyone, I'm setting up a Postfix+Dovecot stack with virtual domains and public mailboxes. I set up a shared mailbox "office(a)mydomain.com" as described in the Dovecot Wiki [1], that is: - I created the directory "/var/mail/mydomain.com/public/" and inside it I created the ".office" mailbox; - I added an appropriate ACL to allow the account "president(a)mydomain.com" to read and edit that mailbox under a public namespace; - I added a Sieve script to handle delivery to the public mailbox (its location is /var/mail/mydomain.com/public/.office/.dovecot.sieve). Some other relevant details about my configuration: - The backend used by Postfix and Dovecot to handle virtual aliases/domains/maps is a MySQL database. Since the virtual user table is used by other applications as well, I decided to keep it "clean" and to make use of another "virtual mailboxes" table (see /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext below). The password_query setting returns only results from the virtual user table (so that only real users can authenticate on the IMAP server), while the user_query setting returns results from both the virtual user and the virtual mailbox table (so that dovecot-lda can choose the correct mailbox). - The queries saved in password_query and user_query return the correct results when executed manually: the home directory for the "office(a)mydomain.com" virtual mailbox is set to /var/mail/mydomain.com /public/.office. - Delivery from and to the "president(a)mydomain.com" account is regular, and that account is able to access the "office(a)mydomain.com" virtual mailbox (I have tested this by speaking IMAP to the server and by performing a manual check using Thunderbird). I encountered a problem with this setup: when I send a message to the "office(a)mydomain.com" account, the Postfix logs say it is correctly delivered via Dovecot, but the Sieve script says it can not find the folder "Public/.office". As a consequence, Dovecot creates a new Maildir in /var/mail/mydomain.com/office and delivers the mail there instead of saving it in the correct directory (/var/mail/mydomain.com/public/.office). Is there something I set incorrectly in my configuration? What is causing Dovecot not to recognize the correct mailbox during delivery?

Allowing a sender control over both the recipient (via spoofing), and the content seems like perfect recipe to turn your mail server into a spam relay cannon. If you do do this, you should hedge this by only allowing it from known trusted senders (e.g. local network). Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

[Dovecot] Dovecot crashes on large search result sets in virtual folders when using fts-solr
by Steffen Templin 19 Mar '14

19 Mar '14

Hi Devs, I experience reproducible crashes when searching in a virtual folder with fts-solr activated. The crashes occur only, if the folder contains a large number of mails and the result set of the search is also large. If the result set is small, no crash occurs. This happens on Debian Wheezy with versions 2.1.7 and 2.2.9. My goal was it to setup the possibility for cross-folder fulltext search. Therefore dovecot was setup with fts-solr, which seems to work fine in most cases. A virtual folder "test" in a namespace "virtual" was created and configured to return all mails from all mailboxes in the default namespace (with empty prefix). It was configured like this: /etc/dovecot/virtual/test/dovecot-virtual: * all It's also reproducible with: INBOX all The test user only has the standard mail folders (Sent, Drafts, Trash) beside the INBOX and of course the folder "virtual.test". INBOX contains about 10.000 mails, the other folders are empty. "virtual.test" correctly referrs to all mails of the INBOX. Searching within the INBOX returns the desired results without any problems. Performing the same search within "virtual.test" fails and dovecot crashes. However, if the result set is small, no crash occurs. My test mails are imported from the ubuntu mailing list. Therefore the term "ubuntu" produces a large result set. See attachments for further details, they all refer to the same crash, reproduced with version 2.2.9 (from the Debian Backports repository): - config.txt: dovecot -n - gdb_backtrace.txt: The gdb backtrace of the attached core dump - log.txt: A logfile extract from the crash - protocol_output.txt: The telnet session that caused the crash Don't hesitate to ask for further details. Thanks and best regards, Steffen

[Dovecot] versioning of mailbox index files
by morrison 18 Mar '14

18 Mar '14

Hi, I am wondering if dovecot assigns version information in mailbox index files so that by which version of dovecot the index files are created can be determined. Our existing mail service used dovecot 2.2.4 with lots of active mail users. When upgraded to 2.2.10, imap processes aborted all the time due to the corrupted index files (the problem was fixed in dovecot 2.2.5). After investigation, I found that this annoying problem could be avoid by deleting index files before opening a mailbox. Now the problem is how I could know if the index files are created by a version newer than 2.2.4. Thanks, Morrison

[Dovecot] FTS solr : body search gives mysql error
by Alexandre Ellert 15 Mar '14

15 Mar '14

Hello, I've recently setup FTS solr plugin, following http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/FTS/Solr, and I have this error in logs when I do a body search : Mar 13 01:46:40 mut-mx-1 dovecot: auth-worker(5808): Warning: mysql: Query failed, retrying: Unknown column 'disableindexer' in 'where clause' Mar 13 01:46:40 mut-mx-1 dovecot: auth-worker(5808): Error: sql(user(a)domain.com): User query failed: Unknown column 'disableindexer' in 'where clause' Mar 13 01:46:40 mut-mx-1 dovecot: indexer-worker: Error: user user(a)domain.com: Auth USER lookup failed Mar 13 01:46:40 mut-mx-1 dovecot: indexer-worker: Error: User user(a)domain.com lookup failed: Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. Mar 13 01:46:40 mut-mx-1 dovecot: imap(user(a)domain.com): Error: indexer failed to index mailbox INBOX Anyway, the search result seems good. Should I worry about this error or is there other thing I should do (i.e modify mysql schema) ? I'm using mysql as a backend to store users and password. According to the documentation, I just added this block of configuration (please tell me if need full doveconf -n) : mail_plugins = fts fts_solr [ my other plugins ] plugin { fts = solr fts_solr = url=http://127.0.0.1:8080/solr/ } Versions : OS : Debian 7 dovecot : 2.2.12 (from dovecot-ee repo) solr : 3.6.0 (from distrib repo) Other recommendations and feedback about using solr FTS in production would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks. Alexandre

[Dovecot] Strange difference between mails delivered with dovecot-lda and lmtp
by kjonca＠o2.pl 15 Mar '14

15 Mar '14

For a long time I have had configuration where mails were fetched by fetchmail then passed to exim and then passed to dovecot via lmtp. Recently I remove dovecot module and mails are passed from exim to dovecot via dovecot-lda Yesterday I have some kind of accident and lost my .fetchids file so a lot of mails were fetched again. During duplicate hunting I found something strange: messages fetched yesterday (passed to dovecot with lda have additional line) have additional line at the end: for example --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- diff cur/1392241092.M478532P15313.alfa,S=13668,W=13925:2,a cur/1394814438.M978438P14745.alfa,S=13567,W=13823:2,a 1,6c1,4 < Return-Path: <system(a)przelewy24.pl> < Delivered-To: <kjonca@localhost> < Received: from alfa.kjonca < by alfa.kjonca (Dovecot) with LMTP id p94PDcTp+1LROwAApvcrCQ < for <kjonca@localhost>; Wed, 12 Feb 2014 22:38:12 +0100 < Received: from [127.0.0.1] (port=60632 helo=alfa.kjonca) --- > Return-path: <system(a)przelewy24.pl> > Envelope-to: kjonca@localhost > Delivery-date: Fri, 14 Mar 2014 17:27:18 +0100 > Received: from [127.0.0.1] (port=45527 helo=alfa.kjonca) 9,10c7,8 < id 1WDhVU-0003ys-75 < for kjonca@localhost; Wed, 12 Feb 2014 22:38:12 +0100 --- > id 1WOUgz-00015z-L0 > for kjonca@localhost; Fri, 14 Mar 2014 17:10:41 +0100 13c11 < for <kjonca@localhost> (single-drop); Wed, 12 Feb 2014 22:38:12 +0100 (CET) --- > for <kjonca@localhost> (single-drop); Fri, 14 Mar 2014 17:10:41 +0100 (CET) 30c28 < Message-Id: <E1WDhVU-0003ys-75(a)alfa.kjonca> --- > Message-Id: <E1WOUgz-00015z-L0(a)alfa.kjonca> 256a255 > --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- I'm somewhat confused with this.

[Dovecot] Problem with trying to use dsync with ldap userdb
by Frédéric Goudal 14 Mar '14

Hello, I'm trying to use dsync on a dovecot 2.2.12 I'm using an ldap database as a user database with the following configuration : auth_bind = yes ldap_version = 3 auth_bind_userdn = uid=%u,ou=People,dc=ipb,dc=fr user_attrs = uidNumber=uid,gidNumber=gid But I keet having the following errors : 2014-03-14 17:53:37 doveadm(XXX): Debug: user XXX: Auth PASS lookup returned temporary failure: reason=Configured passdbs don't support crentials lookups 2014-03-14 17:53:37 doveadm(XXX): Debug: auth input: reason=Configured passdbs don't support crentials lookups 2014-03-14 17:53:37 doveadm(XXX): Error: sync: /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb: Configured passdbs don't support crentials lookups (to see if user is proxied, because doveadm_port is set) I have been hunting through the doc for the last hours and I don't find what to change. I found something about adding set INSECURE_SETUID=1 export INSECUURE_SETUID before checkpassword-reply launch, but it does not change anything... Btw my two server have use the users uid from the ldap, but don't allow user login on the servers where only admin can log in. Does somebody has an idea where to dig ? f.g.

[Dovecot] NFS not responding generates authantication crash
by bart 14 Mar '14

14 Mar '14

I am facing dovecot authentication problems caused by unresponding NFS server. If there is even short break in communication with NFS server keeping maildirs, the dovecot generates the avalanche of processes (dovecot/imap and dovecot/pop3). The real number of connections was about 50 and after the problems occurs it rises to 1000. After about 3 hours the limit of connections is filled up: dovecot: master: Warning: service(auth): client_limit (1000) reached, client connections are being dropped and next: imap-login: Warning: Auth process not responding, delayed sending greeting pop3-login: Warning: Error sending handshake to auth server: Broken pipe imap-login: Warning: Error sending handshake to auth server: Broken pipe When the mail storage was local there was no such problem. After moving to NFS storage the problem arised when trying to make backup with dump (we switched to rsync then) or now if NFS is not responding for a while. My dovecot conf for NFS is in accordane with: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/NFS mmap_disable = yes dotlock_use_excl = no # only needed with NFSv2, NFSv3+ supports O_EXCL and it's faster mail_fsync = always mail_nfs_storage = no mail_nfs_index = no NFS shares are connected with no special parameters. Can something be done on dovecot configuration to prevent from generating those dovecot connections processes? Or is it the problem with NFS configuration? -- View this message in context: http://dovecot.2317879.n4.nabble.com/NFS-not-responding-generates-authantic… Sent from the Dovecot mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Dovecot] quota using wrong limits in user shared mailboxes
by Steffen Kaiser 13 Mar '14

13 Mar '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I have setup a shared namespace to expose user's mailboxes to other users. That works well. Via ACLs users can access other users mailboxes. I have setup a quota for each user, that works well, too. The quota is tracked and new messages are denied, if the quota is exceeded. I do not find hints, if you need to setup something special for shared namespaces. http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Quota/Configuration shows how to track the quota and http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Shared shows how to setup the namespace and ACL. If user1 shares "mailbox" to user2 and user2 copies a message there, the quota is tracked in the quota of user1 correctly. But to calculate if * LOGIN user2 ... * COPY 1 users.user1.mailbox fails with overquota or succeed, the quota limit of user2 is used instead of the quota of user1, whom "mailbox" belongs to. I have tested it with a. limit(user2) < limit(user1) b. quota(user1) + sizeof(message) < limit(user1) if quota(user1) + sizeof(message) > limit(user2), COPY fails with overquota. If I raise the quota of user2, the COPY succeeds. That means, although the target user's quota is not exceeded and won't after the copy, COPY fails. That seems to be wrong for me. The same will apply to the other way round, I guess: If the target user is over quota, but copying user's quota limit is greater than that, the COPY succeeds. [I have not tested it.] Hence, if you enable sharing, you undermine quota, because the other user can copy messages into a mailbox of an user overquota. Does other people see the same issue?

Hi There, Ive taken a look at this and cant quite figure out what is going on here. I have tested all the SQL permissions, and also changed the unix_listener auth-userdb mode to 0666 (as instructed elsewhere to try and solve this issue), but cannot seem to work out what the issue is. Would someone be able to please point me in the correct direction here?

[Dovecot] Turning on autocreate of maildirs - how?
by Graham Leggett 13 Mar '14

13 Mar '14

Hi all, I have a dovecot v2.2.7 installation, and I would like dovecot to autocreate the Maildir mailbox when those mailboxes don't exist. Following the instructions at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxSettings have had no effect, the errors below are reported. As soon as I create the Maildir manually with maildirmake fetching mail starts working fine, so all of the messages about the directory being ambiguous seem to be a red herring. Anyone know how to turn this on?

[Dovecot] Struggling with antispam
by Alan Chandler 13 Mar '14

13 Mar '14

I have a dovecot installation I am building on a raspberry pi for a mail server for the home. I am almost there, everything bar one thing is working. In simple terms dovecot is the authentication agent and the lda (using lmtp) for postfix. My maildir mailboxed at at /var/mail - location and accounts controlled by a small sqlite database. the uid for these mailboxes are 10001 and up and are not mapped to any account on the system. The sieve plugin is working and I have a default script which works to archive outgoing mail, returned via postfix sender_bcc_maps to user+saveout into a Sent subfolder organised by date. postfix also uses milters, to do spf, and dkim checking - and most importantly from this posts perspective passes all mail through dspam, adding an X-DSPAM-Signature header as it passes through. I plan to use another default sieve script to move mail based on the X-DPAM-Result header to move messages to the users Junk folder (when I can get antispam working). I want to use the antispam plugin to pick up users moving mail in and out of their Junk folder to train dspam. I initially tried using antispam's dspam backend. However I could not get it to work. I "think" the issue is that antispam is running with uid 10001 when it does this, and dspam will not process the message because it can't find this uid as a system user. But I am not sure. The approach I am trying now, is use the pipe backend to send mail to spam(a)chandlerfamily.org.uk or ham(a)chandlerfamily.org.uk - and via postfix manipulations get that to call dspam as user dspam. If I run as root and use sendmail -bv to check that it works I get a delivery report that shows that it would indeed arrive at dspam I have a file in /var/spool/dspam called group which has dpsam:shared:* In it so that all users share the same dictionary. However, when I try to make this work with anitspam, I keep getting failure, and I can't work out what is causing it. Maybe its again because I am running with uid 10001 when calling sendmail but I don't know. antispam config is plugin { antispam_debug_target = syslog antispam_verbose_debug = 1 antispam_backend = pipe antispam_signature = X-DSPAM-Signature antispam_signature_missing = error antispam_trash = Trash antispam_spam = Junk antispam_pipe_program=/usr/bin/sendmail antispam_pipe_program_args=-f;dspam(a)chandlerfamily.org.uk antispam_pipe_program_spam_args=spam(a)chandlerfamily.org.uk antispam_pipe_program_notspam_args=ham(a)chandlerfamily.org.uk } And what appears in syslog as a result of moving a mail from my INBOX to the Junk folder in thunderbird is ...

I would prefer to use dpsam backend directly if someone can tell me how to overcome the dspam rejection issues, but this alternative would also work (if a bit more convoluted to get mail to the correct place) if I could get antispam to call sendmail correctly.

[Dovecot] Disable/patch iOS7 Full Body Search
by Chris Laif 12 Mar '14

12 Mar '14

As mentioned in other posts [1], iOS7 Mail App uses a multi-folder full body search by default. As to my knowledge, this behavior cannot be disabled within the Mail App. Is there any way to disable/patch this behavior on the server side? My users complain that searching now takes 'forever'. They were happy with the old behavior (searching From/To/Subject only). I do NOT want to setup/maintain a dovecot FTS. I just want to have the 'old' behavior. Chris [1 ]http://blog.fastmail.fm/2013/09/17/ios-7-mail-app-uses-multi-folder-body-searches-by-default/ ("Our plan at FastMail is to detect iOS clients, and convert all searches into FUZZY searches.")

[Dovecot] Finding memory leaks
by Philipp Brüll 12 Mar '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I try to find a memory leak in a dovecot plugin that I develop. In order to find it, it would be helpful to print the total amount of memory that is currently allocated. This print could than spread over the source code and the memory consumption can be tracked. I've tried i_debug("pool size %u", (unsigned int)pool_alloconly_get_total_alloc_size(system_pool)); But that failed. Does someone has a good advice? I would like to avoid complex solutions like valgrind.

[Dovecot] Doveadm?

I have a question? Is it possible that with doveadm delete all but the last x-number of messages in a folder. For example to retain the last 200 messages in the folder. If it is possible, how do you do it? Something like "doveadm expunge -u jane.doe(a)example.org mailbox xxx" Thank you! -- //Tommy

[Dovecot] Can I create multiple sockets and listen on them in parallel.
by Alan Chandler 11 Mar '14

11 Mar '14

I currently have a setup which is postfix -> dovecot via lmtp over a unix socket. The socket is located at /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp I am calling dspam as a milter from postfix. However I am struggling with getting dspam knowing the correct user for the incoming mail, because after its been through the milter, the virtual alias maps etc end up turning it into my "dovecot" user name, and the two are not easily comparable. So instead I want to try and set up postfix->dspam->dovecot But I want to take it in easy stages, and therefore ideally would like to set up dovecot to listen on two sockets simultenously = one for the existing connection from postfix, and one for the future connection from dspam - preferably in the context of the /var/spool/dspam or /var/lib/dovecot directories That way I can continue to receive existing mail whilst sending a few test mails through dspam. Does 10-master.conf config file work that way? (debian configuration) can I change something like this ... service lmtp { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { mode = 0600 group = postfix user = postfix } } into this ... service lmtp { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { mode = 0600 group = postfix user = postfix } unix_listener /var/spool/dspam/dovecot-lmtp { mode = 0600 group = dspam user = dspam } } and still have dovecot work? -- Alan Chandler http://www.chandlerfamily.org.uk

[Dovecot] POP3 and mail retention
by Roman Gelfand 11 Mar '14

11 Mar '14

Using outlook 2010 as mail client, I have noticed that once an email is moved from inbox, it is deleted from the cur/ directory on the server. Is there a pop3 setting on dovecot that would keep emails, with possible retention period, and recognize that this email has been moved from inbox, etc.. If all of this is doable, would setting outlook to delete the email after 14 days work? delete email from the server when emptying deleted folder? Thanks in advance

I did the hg clone http://hg.rename-it.nl/pigeonhole-0.3-sieve-extprograms/ './autogen.sh' seemed to have worked, but './configure' fails with # ./configure --with-dovecot=/usr/local/lib/dovecot ... checking whether to build static libraries... yes checking for dovecot-config in "/usr/local/lib/dovecot"... not found configure: configure: Use --with-dovecot=DIR to provide the path to the dovecot-config file. configure: error: dovecot-config not found or ... checking for dovecot-config in "/usr/lib64/dovecot"... not found configure: configure: Use --with-dovecot=DIR to provide the path to the dovecot-config file. configure: error: dovecot-config not found # whereis dovecot dovecot: /usr/sbin/dovecot /etc/dovecot /usr/lib64/dovecot /usr/libexec/dovecot /usr/share/man/man1/dovecot.1.gz # dovecot --version 2.1.17 # uname -a Linux 2.6.32-431.5.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Feb 12 00:41:43 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
