mdbox vs. maildir format
by Michael 19 Oct '22

19 Oct '22

hey, i am considering changing my mailbox format from maildir to mdbox. the reason for this is mainly, b/c i have (a) multiple large mailboxes with tens of thousands of mail files, and (b) most of these mails files have a size significantly smaller than the sector size of the disk. so, since the emails themselves are only about nGB large, the disk space used is at least twice as much, if not even three times. i know, hard disk space is 'cheap', but still... but then i read at https://… [View More]

Unseen field reported by imap status command returns wrong count for shared mailboxes on dovecot cluster
by Nikolaos Pyrgiotis 19 Oct '22

19 Oct '22

Hello, We recently migrated our mail server to a dovecot cluster of 5nodes, a dovecot proxy, 2directors and 2dovecot backends. All dovecot nodes run version 2.19.1. We use a glusterfs mounted volume on the backends forthe mail storage. We noticed that when issuing the IMAP command to check forUNSEEN messages formails on the shared namespace instead of seeing the value of the unseen messages of the user that the mailbox has been shared to, the value of the unseen messages of the owner of the … [View More]mailbox is returned. This behavior causes thunderbird when getting new messages forshared mailboxes, to show briefly all messages of the mailbox as unseen forthe user before showing the correct unseen count forthe shared mailbox. The mail location of the shared mailboxes is defined with imapc storage type as described inthe documentation. Is this a dovecot bug? Can we configure a different dovecot configuration setting so that imap status command reports the correct unseen field count when mail location is an imapc storage location? An examples is given below when running doveadm command from one the 2 dovecot directors: When issuing the status command we see that the unseen count is 2: root@doved0-rmt0-cn1:/etc/cron.d# doveadm mailbox status -u npyrgiotis all shared.sysadmins doveadm(npyrgiotis): Info: remote(10.101.0.71:8080): doveadm(npyrgiotis(a)domie02.com)<19078><9l8IJTb+GWOGSgAAEU9A+w>: imapc(10.101.0.75:143): Connected to 10.101.0.75:143 (local 10.101.0.71:33476) shared.sysadmins messages=2 recent=0 uidnext=3 uidvalidity=1662640492 unseen=2 highestmodseq=3 vsize=3950 guid=c92f64f79f0d1ed01e6d5b314f04886c firstsaved=1662643853 shared.sysadmins messages=2recent=0uidnext=3uidvalidity=1662640492unseen=2highestmodseq=3vsize=3950guid=c92f64f79f0d1ed01e6d5b314f04886c firstsaved=1662643853 But when fetching the emails of the mailboxes we can see that the \Seen flag is set for both emails root@doved0-rmt0-cn1:/etc/cron.d# doveadm fetch -u npyrgiotis flags mailbox shared.sysadmins ALL doveadm(npyrgiotis): Info: remote(10.101.0.71:8080): doveadm(npyrgiotis(a)domie02.com)<19074><e7rWDgj+GWOCSgAAEU9A+w>: imapc(10.101.0.75:143): Connected to 10.101.0.75:143 (local 10.101.0.71:38750) flags: \Seen flags: \Seen Below i post the dovecot configuration of one of the two dovecot backends: #

sieve script not modifying header
by Marc 17 Oct '22

17 Oct '22

From the command line the sieve script is modifying the header like this: su testuser -s '/bin/bash' -c 'cat test.msg | /usr/lib64/dovecot/sieve-execute/sieve-test' However when executing via dovecot, the header stays unchanged require ["copy","fileinto","vacation","vnd.dovecot.execute","editheader"]; # rule:[testing2] if not execute :pipe "sieve-test" { } Any idea what I am forgetting to configure/allow?

I hope it is ok to post this off-topic question here. I was wondering if there are here environments running that offer next to dovecot also calendar and contacts services.

I am looking for some experience with a setup provisioning >10k users. Not that I have such requirement, but I want to know if the solution is stable, efficient and optionally can scale. … [View More]

Re: LDAP just for passdb
by Francis Augusto Medeiros-Logeay 14 Oct '22

14 Oct '22

Again, a bit more reading got me to adding this to my passdb config: username_filter = *(a)domain-a.com This way, I can control which domains get to authenticate via my ldap backend, which gives me time to design a good way of saving other attributes there. If anyone have other ways of doing this, ie., having multiple domains on ldap/freeipa and getting an elegant integration with Dovecot, I’d be glad to hear.

I actually saw that it was possible, and it works, but I came across another problem and I wonder if you have any tips about it: On my current dovecot setup, I use SQL as the backend. So I have the following users: francis(a)domain-a.com <mailto:francis@domaina.com> francis(a)domain-b.com <mailto:francis@domain-b.com> Those are separate users which their own mailboxes.

LDAP just for passdb

Hi, I couldn't find it in the documentation, so I was wondering - is it possible to configure Dovecot to use LDAP for passdb and keep using SQL for userdb? I would like to do that before I come up with a good strategy to expand my ldap schema to support other mail attributes for virtual domains, aliases, etc. I am currently using FreeIPA. Best, Francis

I am looking for a user friendly way to have a user to tell the 'server' to either store or remove an email address. a.

This would work with any imap client b. I was thinking about the message Flagged[1]. I am curious how would I be able to detect this (in sieve)?

One-off backup
by Ian Evans 11 Oct '22

11 Oct '22

I run a small email server for me and the missus. Six dovecot users. Our host is migrating our server instance. They usually (99.9999% lol) go off without a hitch. As we don't have dovecot running elsewhere, I'm assuming doveadm is the wrong tool. If we want to make a one-off backup prior to the migration, is shutting down postfix and running tar czf mailstorage.tgz /path/to/mail okay? Thanks.

Static build problems
by Jacob Welsh 09 Oct '22

09 Oct '22

I'm attempting to build the latest Dovecot, version 2.3.19.1, on Gales Linux, a distribution based on musl libc with all static linking. After working around some expected troubles to generate configure, such as the libtool and iconv.m4 dependencies, the build appeared to complete successfully. But on closer inspection, the plugins were installed as a bunch of .a and .la files rather than getting linked into any of the binaries, as would be necessary to actually use them. I determined … [View More]that the probe for dynamic module support (DOVECOT_MODULES defined in 'm4/modules.m4') had returned a false positive: in the static configuration musl includes a stub dlopen() that always returns failure at runtime, so a compile-and-link-only test is not predictive. Libtool itself is affected in the same way, but it comes with the --disable-shared option which usually makes things works fine. Short of a proper solution (perhaps removing modules.m4 and going instead by what libtool already determined, since you've decided to depend on it anyway), I stubbed out modules.m4 to simply return the correct result for this platform, thus: AC_DEFUN([DOVECOT_MODULES], [ have_modules=no AC_SUBST(MODULE_LIBS) AC_SUBST(DLLIB) ]) Now the build is failing due to the absence of a function that's defined only when HAVE_MODULES is true: libtool: link: gcc -I../../src/lib -I../../src/lib-test -I../../src/lib-ssl-iostream -DDCRYPT_MODULE_DIR=\"/gales/pkg/dovecot-0.0-2.3.19.1/lib/dovecot\" -DDCRYPT_SRC_DIR=\"../../src/lib-dcrypt\" -std=gnu99 -g -O1 -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -Wall -W -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wpointer-arith -Wchar-subscripts -Wformat=2 -Wbad-function-cast -fno-builtin-strftime -Wstrict-aliasing=2 -Wl,--whole-archive -Wl,../lib-ssl-iostream/.libs/libssl_iostream.a -Wl,--no-whole-archive -o test-stream test_stream-dcrypt.o test_stream-istream-decrypt.o test_stream-ostream-encrypt.o test_stream-test-stream.o ../lib-ssl-iostream/.libs/libssl_iostream.a ../lib-test/.libs/libtest.a ../lib/.libs/liblib.a test_crypto-dcrypt.o: In function `dcrypt_initialize': /home/user/gales-linux/gports/dovecot/build/dovecot-2.3.19.1/src/lib-dcrypt/dcrypt.c:34: undefined reference to `module_dir_try_load_missing' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status make[3]: *** [Makefile:664: test-crypto] Error 1 I noticed commit d21897832a443d139d56b1fb1c86d8f76e5f77f3 from 2009, "Fixed compiling without module support", and clearly it's supposed to work since the #ifdefs are there, but I begin to suspect that nobody's actually tested this branch of the configuration tree recently. Further, looking through the automakefiles I'm not finding how the plugin libraries are supposed to work at all in this case and I begin to fear that they simply... aren't. Say it ain't so?

I think this page[1] is not correct If you configure this option: imapsieve_mailbox1_before = file:/usr/lib/dovecot/sieve/report-spam.sieve the file report-spam.svbin cannot be created because users cannot write there.

Using sqlite as dict for last_auth plugin
by Oleg petol 04 Oct '22

04 Oct '22

Hi! It is required to collect statistics about the time of the last IMAP and POP3 login of the user and the delivery of letters to him via lmtp. The last-login plugin is perfect. But I don't want to use heavy databases as the mail system service is served by the Oracle DB. The most suitable option, as I see, is to store statistics in the sqlite DB, but after going through all the options in the configuration file, I could not use sqlite. When writing in configuration: plugin { driver=… [View More]sqlite last_login_dict = sqlite:statsdb last_login_key = last-login/%s/%u/%r last_login_precision = ms } I am getting an error: Oct 4 17:01:41 nms4 dovecot: imap(new_ver_test(a)test2.aroma.ru)<154597><q0VJ5jXq9o4KAQDI>: Error: last_login_dict: dict_init(sqlite:statsdb) failed: Unknown dict module: sqlite I did the last-login plugin setup exactly according to the instructions: https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/mail_location/obox/last_login_… I am using standard debian packages. Desperate, I built latest dovecot version from source, but got exactly the same error. Tell me, please, is it possible to use a dictionary in sqlite format to collect last-login plugin statistics?

Good Morning Michael, No problem. Although, to be clear I didnt point out anything, but its Sébastien and the credit shall go for him. Also, by the way in EXIM MTA, there is verify syntax condition in data acl, which checks all email headers and validate that they are standards compliant and reject sending any email beforehand to your issue which has non-compliant header and offers the ability to remove such headers with condition handling e.g. if contained any Sieve header, to request removing message id headers with headers_remove and add compliant one with add_header, and I guess this will mitigate any mail service provider rejection issue. If you are postfix user and considering switching, let me know, I might be able to help. Zakaria. [View Less]

As this page[1] describes a more often occurring problem of forwarding messages from servers that are not included in the spf records.

Custom post login scripting variables via ID command

Hi there, I wonder if dovecot would consider this feature request. In post login scripting, given USER, IP, LOCAL_IP, and userdb lookup fields, are only available, I want to push additional variables from web mail to dovecot using ID commands yet I looked at the source in imap-login-cmd-id.c and script-login.c it seems to be possible while I'm not an expert in C and IMAP standards and not sure if its something would break the standards.

what sieve variables / syntax is available to sieve scripts.

1. where can I find all variables like "imap.user" like in mentioned on page[2] 2. I have the impression that variables like "${from}" are all being set from scanning the whole email again seeing these "if matches" statements. Is that not super inefficient? I would assume that such variables would be set and made available upon the receipt of a message. 3.

Say for testing purposes I would like to add sender email addresses to a database file (eg gdbm) per user. How would I go about doing this? Do I need to create something like in https://github.com/dovecot/pigeonhole/tree/src/lib-sieve/plugins Or can I just create a go binary, and parse data to it? Is there not something like a hello world example for this?

Outlook 365 MUA produces dovecot changing filename on some mailbox

Hello I have a setup on which dovecot is the server in a domain on which mailboxes are >20GB, some of them are 150GB or more.

Thunderbird can't connect to Dovecot (bad certificate: SSL alert number 42)
by Meikel 19 Sep '22

Hi folks, on a Rocky Linux 8.6 based home server I run Dovecot with an account that I use as an archive. Archive means, that from different Thunderbird instances I connect to that Dovecot via IMAPS to move emails there, that I want to keep. Since some days from all Thunderbird instances I can no longer connect to that Dovecot account. In /var/log/maillog of the server I see Sep 14 06:39:54 server3 dovecot[2033173]: imap-login: Disconnected: Connection closed: SSL_accept() failed: error:… [View More]14094412:SSL routines:ssl3_read_bytes:sslv3 alert bad certificate: SSL alert number 42 (no auth attempts in 0 secs): user=<>, rip=192.168.177.105, lip=192.168.177.13, TLS handshaking: SSL_accept() failed: error:14094412:SSL routines:ssl3_read_bytes:sslv3 alert bad certificate: SSL alert number 42, session=<dL1luJvokK3AqLFp> I found that Openssl alert number 42 might be a problem with the SSL certificate (which certificate?) but also might be an expired SSL certificate (which certificate?). As on the Dovecot installation I work with a self signed certificat. I created a new self signed certificate yesterday with an expiry not before year 2032. That did not help, I see the same messages when I try to connect from Thunderbird. Just to see how Thunderbird is involved in the problem I installed Claws-Mail. From Claws-Mail I do NOT have those problems, I can access to Dovecot via IMAPS as expected. I do not understand why all my Thunderbird installations can no longer access Dovecot via IMAPS. This worked fine for about 18 months. I can't prove but I think on beginning of month it worked fine. Something happened meanwhile. If there is a problem with an SSL certificate (bad certificate: SSL alert number 42), which certificate makes the problem? The certificate used by Dovecot or some certificate used in Thunderbird?

Overquota flag and auth caching
by Christian Rößner 13 Sep '22

13 Sep '22

Hello, I like the over quota flag mechanism in Dovecot. I found out that I get in trouble if a user gets over quota and I have turned on auth caching, because the cache does not automatically invalidate a user while toggling the flag. The cache still serves the old state. The result is that mails are still accepted, even a user went over quota resulting in bounces. Workaround is to flush a user from inside the toggle script, which solves the bounce problem, but it prevents the user from … [View More]

Handling imap from outlook 365

I apologize if this has been answered before, but... Microsoft Outlook 365 doesn't allow a user to specify the account name for an imap acout, only the email address.

Outlook 365 (RE: dovecot Digest, Vol 233, Issue 20)

Emilio, Thanks for the suggestions, but neither of these worked for me. Manual setup on Outlook 365 (I think as opposed to Outlook 202x), doesn't let you set the account name directly. It's being "helpful." Interestingly enough, if you set up as POP3, it realizes the account name is wrong and lets you enter it once you try to sync. Not so with IMAP. I was able to create the new account on the control panel, but outlook365 ignores all those accounts. Cheers, Todd -----Original Message----- … [View More]

Unclear how to get both user and domain quotas to work
by Hans van Zijst 10 Sep '22

10 Sep '22

Hi, First of all: my apologies for this long message. I'm trying to post all the information anybody could need to help me on my way. What I'm trying to make is an installation where both users and domains can have quotas. Ideally I would configure a quota for a domain and set a quota of 0 for all users within that domain, so that mail will be accepted up to the point where the domain quota is reached. Setting up user quota was fairly easy, there's lots of documentation around and … [View More]examples to take inspiration from. Not so much for domain quota however, or I'm really bad at searching the Net. I'm running Debian Bullseye here: MariaDB 10.5.12 Dovecot 2.3.13 Postfixadmin 3.3.10 I want to use dictionaries in MySQL, because eventually this will be a platform with several Dovecot and Postfix servers. At this time I'm only running one Dovecot installation and a few Postfix servers (two for communication with the outside world and one to do the virus and spam scanning). My current setup for user quota is how Postfixadmin wants it: MariaDB [postfixadmin]> desc quota2; +----------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +----------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | username | varchar(100) | NO | PRI | NULL | | | bytes | bigint(20) | NO | | 0 | | | messages | int(11) | NO | | 0 | | +----------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ 3 rows in set (0.001 sec) In /etc/dovecot/conf.d/90-quota.conf I have this: plugin { quota = dict:User quota::proxy::sqlquota quota_rule = *:bytes=1024M quota_rule2 = Trash:bytes=+100M quota_vsizes = yes quota_status_success = DUNNO quota_status_nouser = DUNNO quota_status_overquota = "552 5.2.2 Mailbox is full" } dict { sqlquota = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext } The SQL-configuration /etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext is this: connect = host=... dbname=... user=... password=... map { pattern = priv/quota/storage table = quota2 username_field = username value_field = bytes } map { pattern = priv/quota/messages table = quota2 username_field = username value_field = messages } map { pattern = shared/expire/$user/$mailbox table = expires value_field = expire_stamp fields { username = $user mailbox = $mailbox } } I use LMTP to accept mail from Postfix; the quota-plugin is activated for LMTP, so every incoming mail should be counted. This works like a charm: if I don't configure a quota for a user, he gets the default 1GB, if I override it in Postfixadmin, then that's what he gets. I'm running quota-status on a TCP-port, so the gateway SMTP-servers can connect to Dovecot for a quotacheck to decide whether to accept or reject an incoming message. Again, this works flawlessly. I can't find any serious documentation about this mapping thing. In particular, what's with that "pattern"? All I can find in the documentation is: "The dict key must match exactly priv/quota/storage. The dict keys are hardcoded in the Dovecot code, so depending on what functionality you’re configuring you need to know the available dict keys used it." -- https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/dict/#dict-sql If anyone can point me at better documentation than the actual source code: please! I browsed through the quota-plugin source code, but I'm not a programmer and couldn't find what I thought I was looking for. That said, I'm not sure where I got the third "map" from, with the shared/expire pattern. I seem to have forgotten to document that bit of my journey. Now, domain quotas... I've tried all kinds of stuff, but at the moment I'm stuck with something that seems to almost work. I added a second quota root: plugin { quota2 = dict:Domain quota:%d:proxy::sqldomainquota quota2_rule = *:bytes=1024M quota2_status_success = DUNNO quota2_status_nouser = DUNNO quota2_status_overquota = "552 5.2.2 Domain quota exceeded" quota2_vsizes = yes } dict { sqldomainquota = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext } This dict refers to the same mapping as the one for user quotas, and I think that's the way it should be. Please correct me if I'm wrong. This creates a new user in the quota2 table, by the name of just the domain. Unfortunately, it simply fills it with the numbers from the first user it can find in that domain, not all users in that domain combined. What I think I should do, is change something in the dict so that it sums up all users in that domain, something like this: SELECT SUM(bytes) FROM quota2 WHERE username LIKE '%@domain'; Problem is that I can't find anything useful online with regards to this, I'm not even sure if I'm thinking in the right direction here. Any hints, suggestions or corrections? Or pointers to articles or documentation I might have missed? Kind regards, Hans [View Less]

Old-stats plugin and fifo_listener permissions
by Grant Keller 10 Sep '22

Hello, Currently working on using the old-stats plugin in dovecot version 2.3.10.1. What file permissions are recommended for the old-stats-mail and old-stats-user sockets? I was seeing a lack of data from the doveadm oldstats dump command until I adjusted the default config to the following: service old-stats { fifo_listener old-stats-mail { group = mode = 0666 user = root } fifo_listener old-stats-user { group = mode = 0666 user = } } Not totally clear on … [View More]

Hi, I am running dovecot 2.3.7.2 on ubuntu, and have a replication setup. I noticed that managesieve doesn't seem to be working. On my backup MX, doing a telnet to 4190 gets me the proper greetings, but doing the same on my main server just gave me the normal telnet "Escape character is..." I get the following info on the server: root@d0ba5bb19b6b:/# doveadm service status managesieve name: managesieve process_count: 0 process_avail: 0 process_limit: 1024 client_limit: 1 throttle_secs: 0 … [View More]
