indexer crash
by Onno Molenkamp 31 Aug '21

31 Aug '21

Hi, Because I was getting segfaults in libc in calloc calls by the indexer process of Dovecot 2.3.16, I ran indexer with valgrind to look for possible memory corruption. It did indeed find that indexer was accessing memory that had already been freed, I've attached the log file. I've then tried running Dovecot with the fix in commit 97367ef61784a364ccf615cb816be6492329050d, but that didn't make any difference. Reverting (just the code in src/indexer) to the last revision before the recent rewrite to use connection.c (d76761698a06bab60a741c6794252fddec4292ef) did: valgrind doesn't log any errors anymore, and indexer has stopped crashing.

Dovecot Director: Preferred backend server
by Steven Varco 31 Aug '21

31 Aug '21

Hi All I have a dovecot cluster with directror and two IMAP Servers behind. Since they are in geographical different locations I would like to have users to go to a specific IMAP backend server (if both are up) and only switch to the other if one goes down (failover). As to my current knowledge the PassDB extra field „host=„ is not suitable in this case as it would never route the client to a different backend, even if the „user specific backend“ would be down. Is their a way in dovecot to achive this? As far as I searched the documentation I could not find any information on this so far. If not, it may also help if I could get certain users to „initially" go to a specific backend (since director usually routes a client/user to the same backend server it initially connects) and therefore it would be interesting to know how dovecot director chooses wether a user goes to server1 or server2? And if a client already gets to server2, how to bring it „back“ to server1? thanks in advance, Steven -- https://steven.varco.ch/ https://www.tech-island.com/

Local auth works with dovecot-proxy, remote does not
by Camilo Sperberg 30 Aug '21

30 Aug '21

Hi list! I've configured dovecot-proxy to redirect users to another server if their data is indeed on that other server. Webmail (which runs on the same machine) works perfectly fine, but clients such as Thunderbird and Outlook do not work as intended, I suspect it to be a problem with the IP that dovecot-proxy sees, but I can't figure out what is wrong: I've already done a lot of Googling and also tried to change the login_trusted_networks value, but to no avail. I've enabled debug log and here is the relevant part of a call that fails and another one that succeeds (FYI 10.164.0.3 is the machine that is doing the proxying and where webmail is located, 10.164.0.20 is the 'node', these logs come from that node, doveconf -n is also provided in the gist): https://gist.github.com/unreal4u/64de0f05b6e3b98034cdb0ae52ce1196 So as far as I can interpret the logs, in the failure case it is basically saying it should go to the node, despite it already being on that node: Aug 24 11:29:07 mail-node-2 dovecot: auth: Debug: client passdb out: OK#0112#011user=me(a)XXXXXX.XX #011host=10.164.0.20#011port=143#011proxy#011pass=<hidden> In the success case, I don't see any mention of a proxy: Aug 24 11:35:21 mail-node-2 dovecot: auth: Debug: client passdb out: OK#0116#011user=me(a)XXXXXXXXX.XX What am I missing here? Has this something to do with authentication-allow-nets or authentication-allow-real-nets ? If so: where to define it? Is there something else I'm missing? Thanks in advance for your help, Camilo Sperberg

%{cert} variable
by Andrea Gabellini 27 Aug '21

27 Aug '21

Hello, I am using Dovecot version 2.3.16. I'm experimenting with client certificates and the "ssl_verify_client_cert = yes" option. By putting the server in debug mode, I can verify that the client is correctly providing the certificate. I am trying to log using %{cert} adding it to login_log_format_elements, as per the documentation, but I get the error: "Failed to expand log_format_elements=cert=%{cert}: Unknown variable '%cert'" Also the documentation says that the short name is %k, but it overlaps with %{ssl_security}. Is the documentation wrong or is there a bug?

Logging to remote server
by James Brown 26 Aug '21

26 Aug '21

My Google searches must be off, I couldn’t see how to do this. Is there a way to log to a local file, but also send to a remote server? Eg: Log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log, @mylogserver.example.com:514 Thanks, James

Creating/Learning about services
by Dan Conway 25 Aug '21

25 Aug '21

Hello, I'm currently researching how services work within Dovecot and what scope these services are capable of. For example, I created a service as such: service myservice { executable = /home/me/executable type = worker unix_listener myservice { mode = 0666 } } When data is provided to the myservice unix socket, Dovecot appears to create a new process by executing "/home/me/executable". I found out about "status updates" through examining the logs. At first I received this: master: Error: service(myservice): Initial status notification not received in 30 seconds, killing the process What is this status notification? I found out that writing to file descriptor 5 from the executable does seem to be valid. When I write out 12 bytes I don't get an error, but when I write out 13 bytes I get the following: master: Error: service(dmon): service sent partial status update (13 bytes) What I've also noticed is that exiting 0 will cause Dovecot to spawn the process again, in what appears to be infinitely. Are there any resources/documentation that I could reference to learn more about how services work on a lower level besides just looking at the source code? Thanks.

What kind of search response time are you setting with solr full text search?
by Steve Dondley 25 Aug '21

25 Aug '21

MY SETUP: I have apache solr full text search enabled with dovecot. I have an inbox with about 40 subfolders. I'm using the roundcube web-based mail client. The find command is showing 15823 email files and apache solr reports the same number. I'm running a dedicated mail server with a 1 GB of ram. The solr machine is running on a separate machine with 4 GB ram. THE PROBLEM: When I do a full text search through all my inbox and all subfolders on a single word, search results are returned in about 10 to 15 seconds. This is better than the 40 seconds or so I'm getting when I turn off the fts and fts_solr plugins but still a little disappointing. WHAT I'D LIKE: Now, I don't expect instant search results like gmail, but getting the search results to display in less than 5 seconds would be a lot less painful that 10 to 15 seconds. WHAT I'VE TRIED: I have reindexed the emails on solr to try to speed things upit up. ANY ADVICE? Curious to know what response times others are seeing and if there is anything else I might try to speed things up. Maybe the number of subfolders is slowing things down?

JMAP Support Status

25 Aug '21

Hello, what is the current status of JMAP support in Dovecot? Is it already supported or is there any ongoing work on it? I have found some older threads mentioning it as planned, but they are quite old and I haven't found anything new on that topic. Best Regards, David

Mail duplication on multimaster replication
by Alexey 24 Aug '21

24 Aug '21

Hello. I have 3 machines with dovecot with a circular replication: 1 → 2 → 3 → 1. As I notice there is two anomalies: 1) Mass expunge often not replicated with fast replication (default replicator mode). Replication happens only after incremental replication (full of course too, but it is not necessary). I mean, that after mail was expunged on first server via imap, I can get it with doveadm fetch on second. 2) There is some odd lines in log: doveadm(mail(a)domain.org)<10620><...>: Info: copy from INBOX: box=INBOX, uid=137704, msgid=<...>, size=2877 doveadm(mail(a)domain.org)<10620><...>: Info: expunge: box=INBOX, uid=134812, msgid=<...>, size=2877 What is the copy from INBOX to INBOX. I guess that after this actions of replicator I got a ton of duplicates of removed to Trash mails. Only IMAP is in use. All 3 servers use the same version: # dovecot --version 2.3.15 (0503334ab1) doveconf -n # 2.3.15 (0503334ab1): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.5.15 (e6a84e31) # OS: Linux 5.10.0-0.bpo.3-amd64 x86_64 Debian 10.10 auth_verbose = yes default_vsz_limit = 30 G doveadm_password = # hidden, use -P to show it doveadm_port = 4545 first_valid_gid = 500 imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail tb-extra-mailbox-sep tb-lsub-flags last_valid_gid = 500 last_valid_uid = 500 log_path = /var/log/dovecot/dovecot.log mail_attribute_dict = file:%h/dovecot-attributes mail_gid = dmail mail_location = mdbox:~/mdbox mail_log_prefix = "%s(%u): " mail_plugins = " mail_log notify notify replication" mail_uid = dmail 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 index ihave duplicate mime foreverypart extracttext 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 { fts = xapian fts_autoindex = yes fts_autoindex_exclude = \Trash fts_decoder = decode2text fts_enforced = yes fts_xapian = partial=3 full=20 verbose=1 attachments=0 mail_log_events = delete undelete expunge copy mailbox_delete mailbox_rename mail_log_fields = uid box msgid size mail_replica = tcp:10.1.1.137:4545 plugin = fts fts_xapian replication_max_conns = 100 sieve_before = /var/lib/dovecot/sieve.d/vmail/ sieve_dir = ~/sieve sieve_global_extensions = +vnd.dovecot.duplicate sieve_trace_debug = no sieve_trace_level = actions } protocols = " imap lmtp sieve sieve" service aggregator { fifo_listener replication-notify-fifo { group = dmail user = dmail } unix_listener replication-notify { group = dmail user = dmail } } service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0666 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-userdb { group = dmail mode = 0600 user = dmail } } service decode2text { executable = script /usr/lib/dovecot/decode2text.sh unix_listener decode2text { mode = 0666 } user = dovecot } service doveadm { inet_listener { port = 4545 } } service imap-login { inet_listener imaps { port = 993 ssl = yes } } service indexer-worker { vsz_limit = 15 G } service lmtp { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { group = postfix mode = 0600 user = postfix } } service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve { port = 4190 } } service replicator { process_min_avail = 1 unix_listener replicator-doveadm { group = dmail mode = 0660 user = dmail } } service stats { unix_listener stats-reader { group = dmail mode = 0660 user = dmail } unix_listener stats-writer { group = dmail mode = 0660 user = dmail } } ssl = required ssl_cert = # hidden, use -^^ to show it ssl_cipher_list = ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305:ECDHE-RSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305:DHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384 ssl_dh = # hidden, use -P to show it ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = " mail_log notify notify replication sieve" } protocol lda { mail_plugins = " mail_log notify notify replication sieve" } protocol imap { mail_plugins = " mail_log notify notify replication fts fts_xapian" }

I would have expected the output from the "11 LIST..." command to be identical to that of the "4 LIST..." command, i.e. that "ParentB" would be listed as "\Noselect" in the response to "11 LIST...". I've tracked the contents of the local /var/vmail/.../Maildir folder while executing the above commands, and it appears to correspond to the expected situation (i.e. ".ParentA.ChildA" is created, then deleted, then ".ParentB" is created, then ".ParentB.ChildB" is created, and finally ".ParentB" is deleted - in other words, neither the ".ParentA" nor the ".ParentB" folders exist at the time when I issue the "4 LIST..." and "11 LIST..." commands). That "ParentB" should have a "\Noselect" flag in the last "LIST" also appears to be what's mandated by RFC3501, section 6.3.4: ... The DELETE command MUST NOT remove inferior hierarchical names. For example, if a mailbox "foo" has an inferior "foo.bar" (assuming "." is the hierarchy delimiter character), removing "foo" MUST NOT remove "foo.bar". It is an error to attempt to delete a name that has inferior hierarchical names and also has the \Noselect mailbox name attribute (see the description of the LIST response for more details). It is permitted to delete a name that has inferior hierarchical names and does not have the \Noselect mailbox name attribute. In this case, all messages in that mailbox are removed, and the name will acquire the \Noselect mailbox name attribute. ... Tested using the default dovecot package in Debian Bullseye, which is version 1:2.3.13+dfsg1-2. The file system is ext4, and Dovecot is running in a virtual (systemd-nspawn) machine for testing purposes. I've tried grepping through the git changelogs and sources, but I couldn't find anything which would appear to be relevant post-2.3.13. Any ideas?

Different userdb per inet_listener
by Miloslav Hůla 24 Aug '21

24 Aug '21

Hello, we are running Dovecot (2.3.4.1-5+deb10u6) with PostgreSQL passdb and userdb and for remote Postfix: auth_mechanisms = plain login inet_listener { address = 127.0.0.1 port = 12345 } It works perfectly. Now we would like to disable authentication for Postfix (SMTP), but allow it for Dovecot (IMAP & POP3). Something like "receive-only". Is there any way we can configure different passdb for mentioned inet_listener? Or is there any variable with "auth requetor name" we can use in SQL query to differentiate the result? Regards Miloslav

Director vs Proxy
by MRob 24 Aug '21

24 Aug '21

Hello, I understand director is like coordinated state database for the proxies. Is it like a special lookup resource for Dovecot proxy? If correct, makes sense proxies and directors should be deployed in pairs. But few places the docs talk about maybe different number of directors v. proxies or putting directors on different hardware from proxies. What is reason to separate director and proxy? Thank you.

Problems with anvil-auth-penalty and login_trusted_networks
by Ricardo Machini Barbosa 20 Aug '21

20 Aug '21

Hello, On my environment I have: 1 cluster of webmail servers 1 cluster of dovecot proxy dovecot servers n dovecot backend servers On my dovecot backend servers, I use the login_trusted_networks option with the IP range of my servers in the dovecot proxy cluster. But and I'm having problems where the IP addresses of the webmail cluster servers are receiving anvil-auth-penalty penalty. I tried to use in the login_trusted_networks option both the IP range of the dovecot proxy cluster and IP range of the webmail cluster, but this configuration had no effect and I still have my webmail IP's blocked. Is there anything I can do in this scenario to have the webmail cluster IP's whitelisted in anvil-auth-penalty ? Regards, Ricardo

handling public namespace (under mdbox/sdbox)
by Michal Soltys 20 Aug '21

20 Aug '21

Besides of course a "dummy" user that has admin rights to all subfloders - and handles delivery via Public/ prefix. For example using: public-dummy+Public/path/to/subfloder. But - with maildir I've been using a dedicated user that sees public namespace as its own mailbox - so all the alises/redirects go w/o Public/ prefix in such case - for example: public-dedicated+path/to/subfloder . This has been working fine with old maildir, but will this be ok for dbox mailboxes as well ?

dovecot 3.16 replicator Problem?
by Günther J. Niederwimmer 20 Aug '21

20 Aug '21

Hello list, I have a problem with the replicator (config) I mean it doesn't work anymore since version 3.16? How can you turn up the log level with this tool? I think the full sync is still possible to some extent. I deleted a test user who was restored after a day. Question: has something changed in the config so that the whole thing works again Thanks for a answer, -- mit freundlichen Grüßen / best regards Günther J. Niederwimmer

Odd config problem in Debian Bullseye / dovecot 2.3.13
by Perry E. Metzger 19 Aug '21

19 Aug '21

Hi all! For a long time, I've been running this out of cron as user "perry": /usr/bin/doveadm expunge -u perry mailbox SPAM not seen before 7d After upgrading to 2.3.13 as a result of a debian upgrade, this broke. I now am suddenly getting: doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf line 132: ssl_key: Can't open file /etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key: Permission denied Attempting things like setting "-o ssl_key=/dev/null" and the like don't work. I could of course run this as root but I'd strongly prefer not to. Anyone have any ideas? Perry

Snarf plugin retirement
by Brent Busby 19 Aug '21

19 Aug '21

I wondered if it's possible to get the Snarf plugin back, if not in the official Dovecot distribution, then at least to somehow build the plugin source on a modern release...because: Though the documented purpose for Snarf was to ease migration off of UW-IMAP, that's not the only thing it was useful for. Unfortunately, every mailreader that I've seen that can run within Emacs -- and I've tried Gnus, VM, and RMAIL -- all _require_ the use of a ~/mbox file when pulling from a local mail spool on the same machine. (This does not affect IMAP usage of those mailreaders, only local file access.) Non-Emacs mailreaders like Alpine and Mutt have sufficiently robust file-locking safety that they can work on the local mail spool in /var/spool/mail or /var/mail or what have you directly without copying your mail somewhere else first, so for Alpine and Mutt, use of ~/mbox is possible but not necessary. But it seems that for every mailreader that does run within Emacs, if the mail source is local rather than IMAP, there is no other way to operate the program than to have it copy your mail from the spool to ~/mbox. On a system where there are users who sometimes work that way, doing local mail access in Emacs, and other times use IMAP via Dovecot, you have a mess without the Snarf plugin. I realize this is a peculiar situation, so I don't expect Snarf to necessarily be put back into Dovecot. I was wondering how it might be possible to build it today though...for any out there who may use Emacs for mail most of the time...but occasionally also want Dovecot IMAP on the same machine where they're normally using an ~/mbox file for Emacs' sake. UW-IMAP may be dead...but long live GNU Emacs! -- + Brent A.

BUG REPORT: MAIL-CRYPT plugin: doveadm mailbox cryptokey -O option
by ean365 17 Aug '21

17 Aug '21

Aki: I have identified a bug in the "*-O*" option of "*doveadm mailbox cryptokey password*" plugin command -- it is expecting an argument, but it is supposed to be a boolean option. I have also identified the (simple) fix to the source on github... /I am a dovecot community noob, so please forgive me if this has already been identified... (if so, I hope it gets fixed soon)... / The "-O" option in *struct doveadm_cmd_mcp_key_password* is set to expect a *STR* parameter, but it should be *BOOL*. See line 1027 in plugins/mail-crypt/doveadm-mail-crypt.c of master branch... Currently: ***DOVEADM_CMD_PARAM**(**'O'**, **"ask-old-password"**, CMD_PARAM_STR, **0**) *Should be: ***DOVEADM_CMD_PARAM**(**'O'**, **"ask-old-password"**, CMD_PARAM_BOOL, **0**)* Workaround is to specify *-O* last on command line with a dummy argument, like this: *doveadm mailbox cryptokey password -N -O ""* Also, a quick question and suggestion -- Why does the *doveadm mailbox cryptokey password* command not ask for a new password twice, with a check that both entries must match before the password is changed? The last thing we would want is to type something wrong accidentally, and change the new password to something unknown -- rendering encrypted email unrecoverable. I would like to suggest that the code in *cmd_mcp_key_password_run* be amended to include verifying password entry twice. (I am writing a simple addition to postfixadmin that changes the user's mail-crypt password whenever they use postfixadmin to change their login password. It calls *doveadm* to change the keys. I came across this bug while working through this.) Thanks for all your help! Eric **

SSL TLS SNI error certificate is empty
by silvan＠datavenia.nl 16 Aug '21

16 Aug '21

Hello, I’ve tried implementing TLS SNI for my Postfix/Dovecot setup. I have it working in Postfix, but this example for Dovecot: https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/dovecot_ssl_configuration/#wit… doesn’t seem to work for me. I’m using LetsEncrypt certificates. They work without a problem with the regular ssl_cert and ssl_key settings like this: ssl_cert = </docker/rancher-active-proxy/letsencrypt/live/datavenia.nl/fullchain.pem ssl_key = </docker/rancher-active-proxy/letsencrypt/live/datavenia.nl/privkey.pem … but as soon as I put them in local_name blocks like this: local_name datavenia.nl { ssl_cert = </docker/rancher-active-proxy/letsencrypt/live/datavenia.nl/fullchain.pem ssl_key = </docker/rancher-active-proxy/letsencrypt/live/datavenia.nl/privkey.pem } local_name verovia.nl { ssl_cert = </docker/rancher-active-proxy/letsencrypt/live/verovia.nl/fullchain.pem ssl_key = </docker/rancher-active-proxy/letsencrypt/live/verovia.nl/privkey.pem } and restart dovecot I get the following error: dovecot: imap-login: Error: Failed to initialize SSL server context: Can't load SSL certificate (ssl_cert setting): The certificate is empty: user=<>, rip=213.127.63.224, lip=142.93.135.7, session=<wKjTIaLJtSXVfz/g> I have verified that the certificate paths are correct, the files have content. I’ve already checked permissions (chmodded 777 to debug), as well as the that these are actually symlinks (updated the config to point to the real files) but nothing so far seems to change anything. I have also recreated my dh.pem (4096). I’m hoping anyone has any idea where I might be going wrong.

auth-worker looses MySQL connection and doesn't reconnect when MySQL/MariaDB has been restarted
by Christian Ruppert 16 Aug '21

16 Aug '21

Hey, I have MariaDB 10.5.10 and Dovecot 2.3.14.1 right now but it's broken since a few months already. I don't remember when it started and what versions I had running of both. As stated in the subject, the Dovecot auth-worker looses connection during a MySQL/MariaDB restart, which is ok so far, but it doesn't reconnect for some reason and instead all further actions fail because of it, like doveadm or IMAP login / commands etc. Aug 15 13:21:28 thor dovecot[20862]: auth-worker(24450): Warning: sqlpool(mysql): Query failed, retrying: Connection was killed Aug 15 13:21:28 thor dovecot[20862]: auth-worker(24450): Error: conn unix:auth-worker (pid=24449,uid=97): auth-worker<376>: sql(user@example.com,::1,<somesession>): Password query failed: Connection was killed Aug 15 13:21:30 thor dovecot[20862]: imap-login: Disconnected (auth service reported temporary failure): user=<user(a)example.com>, method=PLAIN, rip=::1, lip=::1, secured, session=<somesession> This repeats basically for every command / action I do until I restart dovecot or kill the auth-worker process. Both works. dovecot-sql.conf.ext: driver = mysql connect = host=/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock dbname=mail user=dovecot password=SOMEPW Steps to reproduce: Use MySQL in Dovecot Restart MySQL while Dovecot is running Do either some doveadm commands or try to login e.g. using IMAP or just try to navigate through your mailbox See errors / logs pkill -f 'dovecot/auth worker' Try doveadm etc. again Works -- Regards, Christian Ruppert

Continuation of https://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2021-January/121235.html - I didn't get a reply to my last mail, so ended up deleting the various messages (or in some cases mailboxes) and stopped running into problems for a while, but am now seeing it again.

Enabling autoexpunge for mailboxes created by sieve rules
by Salatiel Filho 16 Aug '21

16 Aug '21

Hi everyone. I have global sieve rules that can create mailboxes automatically by using "fileinto :create some/mailbox/that/does/not/exist". The emails are delivered to dovecot using lmtp and I can see the mailboxes created just fine. Is there a way to configure all new mailboxes created by those sieve rules to automatically set to autoexpunge after 15 days ? I tried this , but it did not work. namespace { type = public separator = / prefix = mypublic/ location = maildir:/var/spool/vmail/dovecot/mail/ subscriptions = no list = children mailbox * { autoexpunge=15d } } plugin { acl = vfile } # dovecot --version 2.3.15 (0503334ab1) Thanks!

Why do so many dovecot list mails fail dmarc?
by dovecot＠ptld.com 16 Aug '21

16 Aug '21

Im trying to get my head around this problem that too many valid emails from the mailing list fail dmarc. Why when other mailing list don't seem to have the same problem? I see today it says "signature verification failed", but why? Is there a problem with protonmail's dkim key? Is the dovecot list altering the message body? Is something wrong on my server's end? The example today was an email from @protonmail.ch, and the headers were: Return-Path: <dovecot-bounces(a)dovecot.org> Delivered-To: dovecot(a)ptld.com Received: from smtp.ptld.com by host.ptld.com with LMTP id +SjBLQqiFmFSbgIAjbxwTg (envelope-from <dovecot-bounces(a)dovecot.org>) for <dovecot(a)ptld.com>;

Help to setup a Unix socket based authentication server for dovecot in Python
by Sherin A 15 Aug '21

15 Aug '21

Hi, I am building a custom server platform in which dovecot is used for imap/pop . But the default authentication mechanism is not suitable for me becuase each domain will have different system users and different location for mail storage . So I need to create a custom authentication mechanism using python . There is an option to use Key-value authentication (dict) database via socket as per https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/authentication/dict/#complete-… The above documentation link have a sample perl script too to send authentication to uri = proxy:/var/run/auth_proxy_dovecot/socket:somewhere So my question is how the inputs are send to the socket file ? in which format ? How the result return ? and in which format ? Let us say I can create a python socket program that can listen to /var/run/auth_proxy_dovecot/socket for getting the inputs from dovecot , but what is the format Is it like the following AUTH PLAIN USER test(a)myemail.com PASS mypassword I looked into the documentation and developer documentation, I am unable to see how dovecot send the data , I can see a sample perl for answering dict lookups. Any one have a python alternative for it. ? -- *Sherin Abdulkhareem* Chairman & Managing Director email Email sherin(a)sherin.in <mailto:sherin@sherin.in> mobile Mobile (+91)9496533234 office Office (+91)4716007799 *Syslint Technologies India Private Limited* First Floor,Asiatic Business Center Kazhakkootam, Trivandrum PIN-695582 India Facebook <https://facebook.com/sherin.co.in> LinkedIn <https://linkedin.com/in/sherina> Google+ <https://plus.google.com/+sherinAbdulkhareem> sherin.in <http://sherin.in>

Sieve Rule help
by Jorge Bastos 15 Aug '21

15 Aug '21

Howdy, I have an user with the rule below. Since it's discarding the match first, should it be stop there and don't redirect it to the next rule? Thanks in advanced, ### require ["date","relational","vacation"]; # rule:[xxx] if header :contains "from" "icnf.pt" { discard; } # rule:[redir] if true { redirect "jorge(a)myemail.pt"; stop; } ###

Undefined symbols (macOS Big Sur Intel) during compiling

Hi, I’m trying to compile Dovecot 2.3.15 on a Intel Mac with Big Sur and Xcode 12.5.1 with command line. I’ve compiled openSSL -1.1.1k in its own directory and pointed dovecot to use that directory.

Preventing clients from trying to create folders under inbox
by Bryan K. Walton 13 Aug '21

13 Aug '21

Our Dovecot installation is configured as such: mail_location = mbox:/var/vmail/%u:DIRNAME=.mboxdata:INBOX=/var/vmail/%u/INBOX:INDEX=/var/vmail/indexes/%u This allows us to continue using mbox formatted files, storing those mbox data files in a file called .mboxdata. This allows our users to create folders and subfolders. The only exception to this is our inboxes, which are more traditional mbox files. However, we have some Outlook users that insist on trying to create subfolders of their inbox. This doesn't work, since the inbox is a file. But Outlook still does it and it causes sync issues, as there is now a subfolder under the user's inbox, but that subfolder is ONLY present in Outlook (it isn't present on the server). Is there anything that we can configure so that Dovecot instructs Outlook that it cannot attempt to create subfolders under the inbox, but allow subfolders elsewhere? Thanks! Bryan

Maybe it can give you hints as to the format needed for a python script. On the same page it also says: When given a proxy URL the Dict backend speaks a simple protocol over a UNIX socket. The protocol is defined in src/lib-dict/dict-client.h https://github.com/dovecot/core/blob/master/src/lib-dict/dict-client.h

Help to setup a Unix socket based authentication server for dovecot in Python
by Sherin A 13 Aug '21

13 Aug '21

Hi, I am building a custom server platform in which dovecot is used for imap/pop . But the default authentication mechanism is not suitable for me becuase each domain will have different system users and different location for mail storage . So I need to create a custom authentication mechanism using python . There is an option to use Key-value authentication (dict) database via socket as per https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/authentication/dict/#complete-… The above documentation link have a sample perl script too to send authentication to uri = proxy:/var/run/auth_proxy_dovecot/socket:somewhere So my question is how the inputs are send to the socket file ? in which format ? How the result return ? and in which format ? Let us say I can create a python socket program that can listen to /var/run/auth_proxy_dovecot/socket for getting the inputs from dovecot , but what is the format Is it like the following AUTH PLAIN USER test(a)myemail.com PASS mypassword I looked into the documentation and developer documentation, I am unable to see how dovecot send the data , I can see a sample perl for answering dict lookups. Any one have a python alternative for it. ? -- *Sherin Abdulkhareem* Chairman & Managing Director email Email sherin(a)sherin.in <mailto:sherin@sherin.in> mobile Mobile (+91)9496533234 office Office (+91)4716007799 *Syslint Technologies India Private Limited* First Floor,Asiatic Business Center Kazhakkootam, Trivandrum PIN-695582 India Facebook <https://facebook.com/sherin.co.in> LinkedIn <https://linkedin.com/in/sherina> Google+ <https://plus.google.com/+sherinAbdulkhareem> sherin.in <http://sherin.in>

Sharing or not sharing the INBOX
by Stephane Magnier 13 Aug '21

13 Aug '21

Hi, I am using Dovecot and Sendmail ( as lmtp server ) I would like to consider having some users using there emails and having their "private Ibox" ( I would say as a normal use ) and some users sharing their Inbox 1) Should I consider using and configure 2 different email servers ? ( one sharing the inbox of any users, the other one, not sharing the inbox...) or I can have this config with the same email server ? 2) if so, how to tell Dovecot to get for user1 and user2 the same Inbox and (user3 and user4) Not sharing their inbox ? - ... like private emails and a tech support, which should share the same folder 3) or Can I say : User1 -> User 4 have private emails Inbox.. but user3 and user4 are also sharing the same folder /var/spool/mail/support/ for example I should admit that I don't know where to go :-( Thanks for your help

Dovecot (>= 2.3.15) is not properly replicating Expunge commands running in a containerised environment
by A. Schulze 12 Aug '21

12 Aug '21

Hello *, migrating a mailbox setup for several tens of thousands of customers to Docker containers running on Debian VMs, we are currently observing Expunge commands not being replicated properly between two Dovecot containers. Delivering a new message into someones' inbox is replicated instantly via dsync (using TLS). However, expunging a message from the very same inbox via > doveadm expunge -u [users' email address] mailbox '*' header Message-ID [MID of the message in question] is not replicated, since a > doveadm fetch -u [users' email address] text header Message-ID [MID of the message in question] still returns the mail on the replica. Sometimes, a > doveadm replicator replicate [users' email address] fixes this, but mostly, it does not. While doing all of this, these messages are logged by Dovecot: > doveadm: Info: copy from INBOX: box=INBOX, uid=13, msgid=<[MID of the message in question]>, size=1793 > doveadm: Info: expunge: box=INBOX, uid=12, msgid=<[MID of the message in question]>, size=1793 > doveadm: Error: dsync(x): I/O has stalled, no activity for 600 seconds (last sent=handshake, last recv=handshake) > doveadm: Error: Timeout during state=slave_recv_last_common > doveadm: Error: dsync(x): I/O has stalled, no activity for 600 seconds (last sent=mailbox_delete, last recv=mailbox_delete) > doveadm: Error: Timeout during state=slave_recv_mailbox > doveadm: Error: dsync(SSL x): I/O has stalled, no activity for 600 seconds (version not received) > doveadm: Error: Timeout during state=slave_recv_handshake Unfortunately, these errors do not seem to be reproducible very well - the underlying behaviour however is. Setting > replication_sync_timeout = 2s , as mentioned in https://doc.dovecot.org/settings/plugin/replication-plugin/ (the "s" seems to be bogus, though, as Dovecot complains about an invalid timeframe given) results in these messages: > doveadm(x): Error: doveadm client disconnected before handshake: Connection closed > replicator: Panic: data stack: Out of memory when allocating 268435496 bytes > replicator: Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(backtrace_append+0x3d) [0x7ff8f55343dd] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(backtrace_get+0x1e) [0x7ff8f55344fe] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0xfcc6b) [0x7ff8f5540c6b] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0xfcd01) [0x7ff8f5540d01] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x533e7) [0x7ff8f54973e7] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x52dcb) [0x7ff8f5496dcb] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0xf6625) [0x7ff8f553a625] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x11c248) [0x7ff8f5560248] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0xf2655) [0x7ff8f5536655] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(buffer_write+0x67) [0x7ff8f5536867] -> dovecot/replicator(replicator_queue_push+0xe9) [0x5619b1b81a39] -> dovecot/replicator(+0x61f8) [0x5619b1b811f8] -> dovecot/replicator(+0x58ef) [0x5619b1b808ef] -> dovecot/replicator(+0x5ab2) [0x5619b1b80ab2] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_call_io+0x69) [0x7ff8f5556b99] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run_internal+0x131) [0x7ff8f5558101] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0x4c) [0x7ff8f5556c3c] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x40) [0x7ff8f5556db0] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(master_service_run+0x13) [0x7ff8f54cb7b3] -> dovecot/replicator(main+0x18f) [0x5619b1b7fc4f] -> /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xeb) [0x7ff8f52a309b] -> dovecot/replicator(_start+0x2a) [0x5619b1b7fd0a] > replicator: Fatal: master: service(replicator): child 175 killed with signal 6 (core not dumped - https://dovecot.org/bugreport.html#coredumps - set /proc/sys/fs/suid_dumpable to 2) Not having observed this behaviour on physical or virtual Linux machines, we are pretty much out of ideas on what to do. https://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2019-November/117467.html sounds like being a related issue.

ACL's using SQL Backend
by Joseph D Wagner 11 Aug '21

11 Aug '21

I don't want to use vfile as the acl backend. I want to use sql, but it seems to be sparsely documented. Would this work? create table acls ( acl_name varchar(255) not null, username varchar(320) not null default '', acl_value varchar not null, constraint acls_pk primary key (acl_name, username) ); map { pattern = $key table = acls fields { acl_name = $key } username_field = username value_field = acl_value } Thanks.

Get Director vhostCount
by William Edwards 11 Aug '21

11 Aug '21

Hi, I would like to monitor each mail server's amount of available vhosts, so I can take action when a certain threshold is reached (e.g. adding mail servers). I'm using Dovecot 2.3.4.1 with Director. My first idea was to use the Doveadm HTTP API, but the 'directorStatus' command doesn't return the 'vhostCount' attribute (although the 'directorAdd' and 'directorUpdate' commands take it as input). My second idea was to directly connect to the 'director-admin' socket and look at the output of 'HOST-LIST'. I can find all the information I need in doveadm-connection.c, but I'm not getting the impression that we're meant to interact with the socket directly. I can't find protocol documentation, and the error message "doveadm not compatible with this server (mixed old and new binaries?)" when passing faulty input gives me the impression that the socket is only meant to be used by Dovecot directly. My third idea is to parse 'doveadm director status', but in that case I'd like to know if that output is likely to change in the future. New major versions aside, of course. Or, if anyone else has a better idea, which could very well be the case, I'd love to hear how people monitor this in the real world. TIA. -- With kind regards, William Edwards

JWT local validation
by Tomas Habarta 11 Aug '21

11 Aug '21

Hello, I have a working setup with Roundcube using OAuth2 -- introspection works without any problem, unfortunately local validation does not as tokens are missing "typ" header (seems that one is indeed optional per RFC7519 and therefore not present in the implementation in place). Is there any parameter to assert the token type or any other workaround to make local validation work as it currently fails with: oauth2 failed: Local validation failed: Cannot find 'typ' field. dovecot v2.3.15 Roundcube 1.5beta CentOS 8 Thanks, regards Tomas

Test for implicit keep within a sieve script
by Eric Durand 11 Aug '21

11 Aug '21

Hi folks, Is there a good way to test for an implicit keep in a sieve script ? At the end of my sieve script, if a message still has an implicit keep, it will end up in my inbox, and I would like to push a notification. Right now I am doing this with an ad-hoc variable that is essentially emulating the implicit keep, is there a better way to do this ? Thanks! Eric

pigeonhole-0.5.16 compilation error?
by Sylvain Robitaille 11 Aug '21

11 Aug '21

Hello Dovecot folks ... In response to the recent announcement of Dovecot-2.3.16 and pigeonhole-0.5.16, we decided to update our installation (full disclosure: this is really an update from dovecot-1.2.x in progress; we're working on a development system where we already had dovecot-2.3.x installed and running). The update of dovecot itself (compiled from source), to version 2.3.16 was quite uneventful, and I can report that it's working. We're seeing some behaviour with indexing that will need attention, but I suspect that that's a matter of configuration, and is completely unrelated to what I'm reporting. More disclosure: we've never used nor compiled pigeonhole on our systems before. We've been using procmail for decades, but are now looking into potentially switching to sieve, and as I understand it, that means installing pigeonhole. I downloaded dovecot-2.3-pigeonhole-0.5.16 at the same time that I downloaded dovecot-2.3.16, a few days ago. My build-time configure and make for pigeonhole is relatively simple, but fails to build: ./configure --prefix=/local/pkg/pigeonhole-0.5.16/root \ --sbindir=/local/pkg/pigeonhole-0.5.16/root/bin \ --localstatedir=/var \ --mandir=/local/pkg/pigeonhole-0.5.16/root/man \ --with-dovecot=/local/pkg/dovecot-CURRENT/root/lib/dovecot make -j2 "/local/pkg/dovecot-CURRENT/root/lib/dovecot" is correct for us, if I understand the installation instructions correctly: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1324 Aug 3 14:03 /local/pkg/dovecot-CURRENT/root/lib/dovecot/dovecot-config The make fails, while compiling sieve-extprograms-common.c: sieve-extprograms-common.c: In function ‘sieve_extprogram_run’: sieve-extprograms-common.c:639:7: error: ‘PROGRAM_CLIENT_EXIT_STATUS_INTERNAL_FAILURE’ undeclared (first use in this function) case PROGRAM_CLIENT_EXIT_STATUS_INTERNAL_FAILURE: ^ sieve-extprograms-common.c:639:7: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in sieve-extprograms-common.c:641:7: error: ‘PROGRAM_CLIENT_EXIT_STATUS_FAILURE’ undeclared (first use in this function) case PROGRAM_CLIENT_EXIT_STATUS_FAILURE: ^ sieve-extprograms-common.c:643:7: error: ‘PROGRAM_CLIENT_EXIT_STATUS_SUCCESS’ undeclared (first use in this function) case PROGRAM_CLIENT_EXIT_STATUS_SUCCESS: ^ I decided to check against dovecot-2.3-pigeonhole-0.5.15, figuring that problems compiling that version likely would have been reported already, and sure enough I find the following difference in this file: --- ./dovecot-2.3-pigeonhole-0.5.15/src/plugins/sieve-extprograms/sieve-extprograms-common.c 2021-06-14 09:41:29.000000000 -0400 +++ ./dovecot-2.3-pigeonhole-0.5.16/src/plugins/sieve-extprograms/sieve-extprograms-common.c 2021-08-06 05:26:46.000000000 -0400 @@ -635,6 +635,14 @@ int sieve_extprogram_set_input_mail int sieve_extprogram_run(struct sieve_extprogram *sprog) { - return program_client_run(sprog->program_client); + switch (program_client_run(sprog->program_client)) { + case PROGRAM_CLIENT_EXIT_STATUS_INTERNAL_FAILURE: + return -1; + case PROGRAM_CLIENT_EXIT_STATUS_FAILURE: + return 0; + case PROGRAM_CLIENT_EXIT_STATUS_SUCCESS: + return 1; + } + i_unreached(); } ... and no mention of these PROGRAM_CLIENT_EXIT_STATUS_* constants anywhere else in the code, in either version. Have I stumbled onto an omission in the packaged sources, or is there some other package missing on my system, or is there perhaps even some other explanation for what I'm seeing? I've checked the mailing list archive and found no mention of anyone else having the same (or similar) problem, so I do think it's possible that I'm just missing something ... Thanks in advance for any insight folks might be able to give me ... -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Sylvain Robitaille syl(a)encs.concordia.ca Systems analyst / AITS Concordia University Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science Montreal, Quebec, Canada ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Replication stalled by failed attemts to read attachments (mail_attachment_dir)
by Ralf Becker 09 Aug '21

09 Aug '21

I'm migrating an older Dovecot 2.2.19 installation with dbox and mail_attachment_dir to 2.3.15 with replication to a second server. The storage from the old server was rsync'ed to a new server running Dovecot 2.3.15 in a container using similar configuration with dbox and mail_attachments. That servers alone seems to run fine. As a next step I tried to establish replication to the second empty server, which is configured to use mdbox and no mail_attachment_dir, as the rest of my Dovecot servers. Looking at "doveadm replicator status '*'" some of the mailboxes replicate correct, but roughly half of them fail :( Looking a the Dovecot log with mail_debug=yes shows the replication fails on the source (server with dbox and mail_attachment_dir) typically with one of two errors: a) attachment has different size: Aug 05 15:41:58 doveadm: Debug: Mailbox INBOX: UID 30: Looked up field date.received from mail cache Aug 05 15:41:58 doveadm: Error: dsync(cdaf50f7580e): read(attachments-connector(/var/dovecot/imap/<domain>/<user>/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails/u.30)) failed: read(/var/dovecot/imap/attachments/64/4e/644ecfbc09223b8ccafc6f36aa86603cde91e76716b9b5ed0cf875bc0e183b6b4581d671f8321647be99f26d2d22088e999714529e189b25a6e7d5b428fbf5d5-1a6b701e68c9c050b10a0000838cbfe1-f86a701e68c9c050b10a0000838cbfe1-30[base64:18 b/l]) failed: Stream is larger than expected (262658 > 262657, eof=1) (last sent=mail, last recv=mail_request (EOL)) showing on the other log as: Aug 05 15:49:18 doveadm: Debug: Mailbox INBOX: UID 29: Looked up field guid from mail cache Aug 05 15:49:19 doveadm: Error: dsync(142878d8d6bf): read() failed: read(10.44.99.1) failed: dot-input stream ends without '.' line (last sent=mail_request (EOL), last recv=mail) b) attachment is not found at all: Aug 05 15:43:58 doveadm(<user>@<domain> 1441): Debug: fs-sis: fs-sis: fs-posix: open(/var/dovecot/imap/attachments/e2/0a/e20ab165f3a2e7164520341cddb06cd053dc1a87fdd5c6360b45c20a2c9d33576c8ea2daa42062f9bb0fd94f9c5f9919ad86fb11e29effe3bdf4e853fa7c0e1d-20a0b63613e6c050620b0000838cbfe1-c8d5221c39a40b61250900007dc04144-3) failed: No such file or directory Aug 05 15:43:58 doveadm(<user>@<domain> 1441): Error: dsync(cdaf50f7580e): read(attachments-connector(/var/dovecot/imap/<domain>/<user>/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails/u.3)) failed: read(/var/dovecot/imap/attachments/e2/0a/e20ab165f3a2e7164520341cddb06cd053dc1a87fdd5c6360b45c20a2c9d33576c8ea2daa42062f9bb0fd94f9c5f9919ad86fb11e29effe3bdf4e853fa7c0e1d-20a0b63613e6c050620b0000838cbfe1-c8d5221c39a40b61250900007dc04144-3[base64:19 b/l]) failed: open(/var/dovecot/imap/attachments/e2/0a/e20ab165f3a2e7164520341cddb06cd053dc1a87fdd5c6360b45c20a2c9d33576c8ea2daa42062f9bb0fd94f9c5f9919ad86fb11e29effe3bdf4e853fa7c0e1d-20a0b63613e6c050620b0000838cbfe1-c8d5221c39a40b61250900007dc04144-3) failed: No such file or directory (last sent=mail, last recv=mail_request (EOL)) That caused the replication to fail and not newer mails to be replicated for the given user and mailbox, which can be verified eg. with "doveadm mailbox status -u <user>@<domain> all inbox". The concerned mails are pretty old / the attachment itself can not be recovered, and nothing can be done about them. But how can I repair the mailbox, so all unaffected mails / attachments get replicated? I already tried multiple "doveadm force-resync -u <user>@<domain> INBOX" in case a) with no visible effect / still same error. Both Dovecot configurations are attached, in case they matter ...

Pigeonhole Sieve Config Warning
by dovecot＠ptld.com 09 Aug '21

09 Aug '21

In the sieve plugin settings i have plugin { ... sieve_user_email = %u } Variables pages says %u = full username (e.g. user@domain) This config seems to work in practice, the email is from: the users email address. However on starting dovecot im getting a warning twice: dovecot[35893]: managesieve: Warning: sieve: Invalid address value for setting `sieve_user_email': Missing domain dovecot[35893]: master: Dovecot v2.3.8 (9df20d2db) starting up for imap, lmtp, sieve dovecot[35897]: managesieve: Warning: sieve: Invalid address value for setting `sieve_user_email': Missing domain So is there really an issue? Or just an improper warning?

v2.3.16 released
by Timo Sirainen 09 Aug '21

09 Aug '21

Hi, One interesting thing in this release is the support for configuring OAUTH2 openid-configuration element. It would be nice if IMAP clients started supporting this feature to enable OAUTH2 for all IMAP servers, not just Gmail and a few others. This would allow all kinds of new authentication methods for IMAP and improve the authentication security in general. https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.16.tar.gz https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.16.tar.gz.sig Binary packages in https://repo.dovecot.org/ Docker images in https://hub.docker.com/r/dovecot/dovecot <https://hub.docker.com/r/dovecot/dovecot> * Any unexpected exit() will now result in a core dump. This can especially help notice problems when a Lua script causes exit(0). * auth-worker process is now restarted when the number of auth requests reaches service auth-worker { service_count }. The default is still unlimited. + Event improvements: Added data_stack_grow event and http-client category. See https://doc.dovecot.org/admin_manual/list_of_events/ + oauth2: Support RFC 7628 openid-configuration element. This allows clients to support OAUTH2 for any server, not just a few hardcoded servers like they do now. See openid_configuration_url setting in dovecot-oauth2.conf.ext. + mysql: Single statements are no longer enclosed with BEGIN/COMMIT. + dovecot-sysreport --core supports multiple core files now and does not require specifying the binary path. + imapc: When imap_acl plugin is loaded and imapc_features=acl is used, IMAP ACL commands are proxied to the remote server. See https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/mail_location/imapc/ + dict-sql now supports the "UPSERT" syntax for SQLite and PostgreSQL. + imap: If IMAP client disconnects during a COPY command, the copying is aborted, and changes are reverted. This may help to avoid many email duplicates if client disconnects during COPY and retries it after reconnecting. - master process was using 100% CPU if service attempted to create more processes due to process_min_avail, but process_limit was already reached. v2.3.15 regression. - Using attachment detection flags wrongly logged unnecessary "Failed to add attachment keywords" errors. v2.3.13 regression. - IMAP QRESYNC: Expunging UID 1 mail resulted in broken VANISHED response, which could have confused IMAP clients. v2.3.13 regression. - imap: STORE didn't send untagged replies for \Seen changes for (shared) mailboxes using INDEXPVT. v2.3.10 regression. - rawlog_dir setting would not log input that was pipelined after authentication command. - Fixed potential infinite looping with autoexpunging. - Log event exporter: Truncate long fields to 1000 bytes - LAYOUT=index: ACL inheritance didn't work when creating mailboxes - Event filters: Unquoted '?' wildcard caused a crash at startup - fs-metawrap: Fix to handling zero sized files - imap-hibernate: Fixed potential crash at deinit. - acl: dovecot-acl-list files were written for acl_ignore_namespaces - program-client (used by Sieve extprograms, director_flush_socket) may have missed status response from UNIX and network sockets, resulting in unexpected failures.

Problem migrating POP accounts into dovecot
by Jesús Ángel del Pozo Domínguez 09 Aug '21

09 Aug '21

Hello, I am trying to migrate mailboxes from an old pop/imap server to a new one using Dovecot 2.3.15. The old server uses tpop3d and courier as POP and IMAP servers, respectively. Whereas I can migrate IMAP mailboxes without many problems, I am facing difficulties while trying to do the same with POP ones. The problem is that dsync opens simultaneous connections to the remote POP server, so the remote mailbox gets locked and dsync can not copy the messages. This is the command I am using to migrate POP mailboxes: # doveadm -Dv -c dovecot-migration.conf -o pop3c_password="*******" backup -R -u test2(a)testemail.domain.com pop3c: And these are some interesting lines from the output of the above command: Aug 04 14:54:14 dsync(test2(a)testemail.domain.com): Debug: pop3c(10.0.0.104): Looking up IP address Aug 04 14:54:14 dsync(test2(a)testemail.domain.com): Debug: pop3c(10.0.0.104): Connecting to 10.0.0.104:110 Aug 04 14:54:14 dsync(test2(a)testemail.domain.com): Debug: pop3c(10.0.0.104): Authenticating as 'test2(a)testemail.domain.com' (with USER+PASS) Aug 04 14:54:14 dsync(test2(a)testemail.domain.com): Debug: Mailbox INBOX: Adding field pop3.uidl to cache for the first time (uid=1) Aug 04 14:54:14 dsync(test2(a)testemail.domain.com): Debug: Mailbox INBOX: UID 1: Opened mail because: virtual size (Cache file is unusable) Aug 04 14:54:14 dsync(test2(a)testemail.domain.com): Debug: quota: quota_over_flag check: STORAGE ret=3value=3 limit=104857600 Aug 04 14:54:14 dsync(test2(a)testemail.domain.com): Debug: quota: quota_over_flag check: MESSAGE ret=4value=1 limit=0 Aug 04 14:54:14 dsync(test2(a)testemail.domain.com): Debug: quota: quota_over_flag=0((null)) vs currently overquota=0 Aug 04 14:54:14 dsync(test2(a)testemail.domain.com): Debug: brain M: Locking done locally in /var/mail/testemail.domain.com/test2/.dovecot-sync.lock (local hostname=tremedal.domain.com, remote hostname=tremedal.domain.com) Aug 04 14:54:14 dsync(test2(a)testemail.domain.com): Debug: brain S: Namespace has location pop3c: Aug 04 14:54:14 dsync(test2(a)testemail.domain.com): Debug: pop3c(10.0.0.104): Looking up IP address Aug 04 14:54:14 dsync(test2(a)testemail.domain.com): Debug: pop3c(10.0.0.104): Connecting to 10.0.0.104:110 Aug 04 14:54:14 dsync(test2(a)testemail.domain.com): Debug: pop3c(10.0.0.104): Authenticating as 'test2(a)testemail.domain.com' (with USER+PASS) Aug 04 14:54:14 dsync(test2(a)testemail.domain.com): Debug: Mailbox INBOX: Adding field pop3.uidl to cache for the first time (uid=1) Aug 04 14:54:14 dsync(test2(a)testemail.domain.com): Debug: brain S: Local mailbox tree: INBOX guid=c92f64f79f0d1ed01e6d5b314f04886c uid_validity=1628081654 uid_next=2 subs=no last_change=0 last_subs=0 Aug 04 14:54:14 dsync(test2(a)testemail.domain.com): Debug: brain M: Remote mailbox tree: INBOX guid=c92f64f79f0d1ed01e6d5b314f04886c uid_validity=1628081654 uid_next=2 subs=no last_change=0 last_subs=0 Aug 04 14:54:14 dsync(test2(a)testemail.domain.com): Debug: brain M: Mailbox INBOX: local=00000000000000000000000000000000/0/0, remote=c92f64f79f0d1ed01e6d5b314f04886c/0/1: mailbox not selectable yet Aug 04 14:54:14 dsync(test2(a)testemail.domain.com): Debug: Namespace : /var/mail/testemail.domain.com/test2/Mailbox/inbox doesn't exist yet, using default permissions Aug 04 14:54:14 dsync(test2(a)testemail.domain.com): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions from /var/mail/testemail.domain.com/test2/Mailbox: mode=0700 gid=default Aug 04 14:54:14 dsync(test2(a)testemail.domain.com): Debug: Namespace : /var/mail/testemail.domain.com/test2/Mailbox/inbox doesn't exist yet, using default permissions Aug 04 14:54:14 dsync(test2(a)testemail.domain.com): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions from /var/mail/testemail.domain.com/test2/Mailbox: mode=0700 gid=default Aug 04 14:54:14 dsync(test2(a)testemail.domain.com): Debug: brain S: Mailbox INBOX: local=c92f64f79f0d1ed01e6d5b314f04886c/0/1, remote=00000000000000000000000000000000/0/0: mailbox not selectable yet Aug 04 14:54:14 dsync(test2(a)testemail.domain.com): Debug: pop3c(10.0.0.104): Looking up IP address Aug 04 14:54:14 dsync(test2(a)testemail.domain.com): Debug: pop3c(10.0.0.104): Connecting to 10.0.0.104:110 Aug 04 14:54:14 dsync(test2(a)testemail.domain.com): Debug: pop3c(10.0.0.104): Authenticating as 'test2(a)testemail.domain.com' (with USER+PASS) Aug 04 14:54:14 dsync(test2(a)testemail.domain.com): Debug: Mailbox INBOX: Adding field pop3.uidl to cache for the first time (uid=1) Aug 04 14:54:14 dsync(test2(a)testemail.domain.com): Debug: doveadm-sieve: Iterating Sieve mailbox attributes Aug 04 14:54:14 dsync(test2(a)testemail.domain.com): Debug: sieve: Pigeonhole version 0.5.15 (e6a84e31) initializing Aug 04 14:54:14 dsync(test2(a)testemail.domain.com): Debug: sieve: include: sieve_global is not set; it is currently not possible to include `:global' scripts.

Then, the same sequence is repeated again (second connection from dsync). However, on opening the third connection, it is not closed before the fourth one is opened. On authenticating a user, the tpop3d server locks the mailbox to prevent other clients wirting to it. That is why the fourth connection fails as it can not get a lock for the mailbox: Aug 4 14:54:22 lmail1 tpop3d[2274]: mailspool_new_from_file: failed to lock /var/spool/mail/testemail.domain.com/test2: Resource temporarily unavailable Aug 4 14:54:22 lmail1 tpop3d[2274]: dotfile_unlock(/var/spool/mail/testemail.domain.com/test2): lockfile does not have our PID Could you please tell me how can I avoid this problem? I wonder why dsync opens so many connections to the remote server, and why it does not close the previous connections before opening new ones. Regards,

dsync and sieve script
by Andrea Gabellini 09 Aug '21

09 Aug '21

Hello, I'm testing the migration from and old dovecot server 2.2.24 to a new one with 2.3.15 using this command: doveadm -c /etc/dovecot/dovecot-migration.conf -o mail_fsync=never backup -x "shared" -x "shared/*" -x "dovecot/sieve" -R -T 60 -u andrea.gabellini.sc(a)telecomitalia.sm imapc: This command replicate email messages but not the sieve scripts. The esclusion of "dovecot/sieve" is mandatory because the old server is misconfigured and doesn't have a separate home and maildir location. Is dsync able to replicate the sieve scripts or I'm doing something wrong?
