fts_enforced=yes or body return NO [SERVERBUG] Internal error occurred when SEARCH
by Alessio Cecchi 20 Apr '21

20 Apr '21

Hi, we have some issues related to the fts_enforced option in dovecot config. Following the table in the docs (https://doc.dovecot.org/settings/plugin/fts-plugin/#plugin-fts-setting-fts-…) we cannot figure out the current behavior of the flag. In our case we have dovecot up and running, dovecot indexes updated using doveadm command (fts rescan/index), but solr instance offline for testing. We try to search using header subject. We tried "yes" and "body" fts_enforced flag's options but we get in telnet session: C: a search header subject "test" S: a NO [SERVERBUG] Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. [2021-04-20 15:52:57] (0.005 + 0.000 + 0.004 secs). But dovecot-log don't include any specific error, except for a generic: Apr 20 15:52:57 imap dovecot: imap(test(a)emailtest.net) session=<t7RIwxyaxMxbj8Qu>: Error: fts_solr: Lookup failed: connect(10.0.0.2:8983) failed: Connection refused Is there any flag or method to check if a solr instance is up and running and, eventually, switching to the internal dovecot indexes instead ? Using the "no" option, for enforced flag, for us is unavailable because the related search could be too long and we could have timeout waiting the results. We aim to achieve the following result: if our solr instance is unavailable, we should switch the imap searches from full-text to headers only. Could you suggest something in this direction? We running doveoct 2.3.14. Thanks -- Alessio Cecchi Postmaster @ http://www.qboxmail.it https://www.linkedin.com/in/alessice

Replication between three servers
by Miro Igov 20 Apr '21

20 Apr '21

Hello, I have dovecot replication working fine between 2 servers with LDA configured to sync mail coming from Postfix. These 2 servers are used in master/slave mode - only the one server is used by IMAP clients and the second server is just a backup in case of failure. Second server is also MX backup and it happens that incoming mails come from it via Postfix and get synchronized with the first server. I would like to include third server as backup. How could be done while mail_replica accepts only one host?

What is the proper <luceneMatchVersion> value in solrconfig.xml for dovecot?
by Steve Dondley 19 Apr '21

19 Apr '21

I'm looking at config documentation for solr on dovecot: https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/fts/solr/ In the suggested solrconfig.xml file (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dovecot/core/master/doc/solr-config-7.7.0…) it has the following line: <luceneMatchVersion>7.7.0</luceneMatchVersion> I'm running solr version 8.8.1, however. I'm wondering if I should change this line to: <luceneMatchVersion>8.8.1</luceneMatchVersion> Things seems to work fine with the 7.7.0 value but there is a comment in the config file that says:  I'm not familiar with Lucene or Solr so I'm uncertain as to what to set this to. Thanks.

Sending alert to client after quota has reached 100%
by Dan Conway 19 Apr '21

19 Apr '21

Hello all, I hope you are doing well. In regards to the quota_warning configuration, more specifically when an email is sent to the user when quota has passed a certain percentage, i.e.: quota_warning = <limit configuration> <quota-warning socket name> <parameters> #quota_warning2 = ... #quota_warning3 = ..etc.. Is it possible to communicate with the client by sending an ALERT IMAP message to stdout much like post-login scripting, rather than sending an email to the user? i.e: #!/bin/sh # Message goes to stdout printf "* OK [ALERT] This is an alert\r\n" exec "$@" Thank you.

Only INBOX is searched when using gmail with dovecot FTS and solr
by hi-dovecot＠mcarle.io 16 Apr '21

16 Apr '21

Hi, I am using https://github.com/docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver to setup my mailserver and added solr for full-text search. Nearly everything is working as expected. But I have a problem with the full-text search, as I have a lot of folders in my mailbox and I just can't find any mail in any of these folders except INBOX when I search with the Gmail android app. After analyzing the logs, I assume, that the bug is in the Gmail app, as it is only searching in the INBOX folder. I searched a bit and found some reports of other users confirming that. As this "design decision" (or bug) is quite old, I assume that Google won't fix it. But as many people are using Gmail, I assume that there must be a way to search all folders with Gmail. Sadly, I haven't found any possibility yet. As a workaround one may put a proxy in between and simply remove the "+box:123" filter from the path (e.g. with a small regex). With that, solr will return all found mails from that user, regardless of the folder. This may be a quite simple, but very dirty hack. Hence, I hope that you guys know a better way, a good way to overcome this issue and enable all Gmail users to search for email in all folders. Best regards, Marcel

mail_max_userip_connections per remote IP not working
by Alessio Cecchi 16 Apr '21

16 Apr '21

Hi, I'm tryng to set a specific mail_max_userip_connections for a remote IP (webmail IMAP software), but it seems not working: remote 1.2.3.4 { protocol imap { mail_max_userip_connections = 100 } } and also this isn't working remote 1.2.3.4 { mail_max_userip_connections = 100 } I insert it at the end of 20-imap.conf file. Is something wrong or is not supported? I'm running dovecot 2.3.14. Thanks -- Alessio Cecchi Postmaster @http://www.qboxmail.it https://www.linkedin.com/in/alessice

Auth Cache for checkpassword
by Amol Kulkarni 14 Apr '21

14 Apr '21

Hello, I use the checkpassword driver for imap/pop authentication. To improve the performance I would like to enable authentication caching for it. However just adding the auth_cache_size and auth_cache_ttl doesn't work. No entries are cached. If I add a cache directive in the passdb, then the service doesnt start. I was wondering if the authentication caching is supported for the checkpassword driver. Please point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance, Amol

Tuning pop3-login client_limit
by Martin Olsen 13 Apr '21

13 Apr '21

Good day / evening / morning good dovecot people: Overview: We are seeing the following issue on one of our servers: pop3-login: Error: master(pop3): net_connect_unix(pop3) failed: Resource temporarily unavailable - http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SocketUnavailable (client-pid=5418, client-id=1, rip=__REMOVED__, created 534 msecs ago, received 0/4 bytes) We tried tuning the pop3-login -> client_limit parameter. However, as soon as we increased this parameter (and after restarting dovecot), we saw an onslaught of lmtp connection errors in postfix (unable to deliver via lmtp to dovecot). This led us to set the pop3-login -> client_limit back to 1000 again and the lmtp errors disappeared. This leads me to think that we should tune some other parameters as well. Increase overall limits or such. It seems like when increasing the client_limit for pop3-logins that somehow affected the lmtp deliverability. If anyone has any input on this that would be much appreciated. Cheers, Martin -- Version and config: # dovecot --version 2.2.36 (1f10bfa63) # dovecot -n # 2.2.36 (1f10bfa63): # OS: Centos 7.7 # Hostname: auth_mechanisms = auth_verbose = yes base_dir = __REMOVED__ default_client_limit = 2500 disable_plaintext_auth = no doveadm_password = first_valid_uid = 89 last_valid_uid = 89 lmtp_rcpt_check_quota = yes login_greeting = login_trusted_networks = mail_gid = 89 mail_plugins = " notify replication quota" mail_uid = 89 mbox_write_locks = fcntl namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = prefix = } passdb { args = driver = ldap } plugin { mail_replica = tcps: quota = maildir:User quota quota_rule = } protocols = pop3 lmtp replication_full_sync_interval = 3 hours replication_max_conns = 20 service aggregator { fifo_listener replication-notify-fifo { group = postfix mode = 0640 user = postfix } unix_listener replication-notify { group = postfix mode = 0640 user = postfix } } service auth { unix_listener auth { mode = 0660 } } service doveadm { inet_listener { port = 12345 ssl = yes } } service lmtp { process_min_avail = 10 unix_listener lmtp { group = postfix mode = 0640 user = postfix } } service pop3-login { client_limit = 1000 process_limit = 2048 process_min_avail = 10 service_count = 1 } service pop3 { client_limit = 1 process_limit = 2048 process_min_avail = 0 service_count = 1 }

json_parse_number broken by compiler optimization
by Christian Ehrhardt 13 Apr '21

13 Apr '21

Hi, the recent Ubuntu (re)builds uncovered an issue with dovecot 1:2.3.13+dfsg1-1 build log: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/529849650/buildlog_ubuntu-hirsute-amd64.dove… A coworker tried 2.3.14 but got the same result. What fails is the json_parser build time test like: test-json-parser.c:161: Assert(#25) failed: null_strcmp(json_output[pos].value, value) == 0 I was looking into that a bit more and what I found is that it is dependent on the new toolchain of gcc 10.2.0-1. Not all calls to json_parse_* fail, e.g. the first one looks all good and passes I was iterating the tests using a report function defined like (gdb) define repcon >c >p pos >p json_output[pos].type >p type >p json_output[pos].value >p value >call null_strcmp(json_output[pos].value, value) >end The first one to be bad was: Breakpoint 2, test_json_parser_success (full_size=<optimized out>) at test-json-parser.c:161 161 test_assert_idx(null_strcmp(json_output[pos].value, value) == 0, pos); $84 = 25 $85 = JSON_TYPE_NUMBER $86 = JSON_TYPE_NUMBER $87 = 0x555555633b25 "-12.456" $88 = 0x555555693110 "" $89 = 45 Earlier and later parsing was happy, for example Breakpoint 2, test_json_parser_success (full_size=<optimized out>) at test-json-parser.c:161 161 test_assert_idx(null_strcmp(json_output[pos].value, value) == 0, pos); $90 = 27 $91 = JSON_TYPE_NUMBER $92 = JSON_TYPE_NUMBER $93 = 0x555555633b32 "12.456e9" $94 = 0x555555693110 "12.456e9" $95 = 0 (gdb) We have two things we compare here. 1. json_output[] which is a static define and for this value is 67 »···{ JSON_TYPE_NUMBER, "-12.456" }, 2. the return value that json_parse_next returns. 25 »···" \"sub2\":-12.456,\n" 148 »···»···»···»···ret = json_parse_next(parser, &type, &value); I tried a non negative number and got success which is suspicious Breakpoint 5, test_json_parser_success (full_size=<optimized out>) at test-json-parser.c:164 164 test_assert_idx(null_strcmp(json_output[pos].value, value) == 0, pos); $122 = 25 $123 = JSON_TYPE_NUMBER $124 = JSON_TYPE_NUMBER $125 = 0x555555633b2c "12.456" $126 = 0x555555693110 "12.456" $127 = 0 (gdb) Also the return value otherwise LGTM, it is recognized as a number: 540 } else if ((ret = json_parse_number(parser, value_r)) >= 0) { (gdb) n 541 *type_r = JSON_TYPE_NUMBER; So parsing worked one might think, but the value was not set. (gdb) p *value_r $833 = 0x555555693110 "" It turns out json_parse_number is too optimized. Too optimized for debugging further into json_parse_number. But also optimization is causing the issue. With -O0 or -O1 it works fine, even putting the lower optimization level just around json_parse_number it is enough to avoid the issue. Not a fix but "avoidance" for now: --- a/src/lib/json-parser.c +++ b/src/lib/json-parser.c @@ -386,6 +386,8 @@ static int json_parse_int(struct json_pa return 1; } +#pragma GCC push_options +#pragma GCC optimize ("-O0") static int json_parse_number(struct json_parser *parser, const char **value_r) { int ret; @@ -415,6 +417,7 @@ static int json_parse_number(struct json *value_r = str_c(parser->value); return 1; } +#pragma GCC pop_options static int json_parse_atom(struct json_parser *parser, const char *atom) { I was trying to see what happened and tracked each str_append_c that happened inside json_parse_number. A breakpoint on str_append_c and backtraces showed that we clearly do the "right" parsing. From the backtraces I've seen it does (just from positions): For example (gdb) bt #0 str_append_c (chr=<optimized out>, str=0x5555556930d0) at str.h:44 #1 json_parse_digits (parser=<optimized out>) at json-parser.c:366 => that is a digit It does "- digit digit dot digit digit digit" This perfectly matches the input value, but still the result stays empty: (gdb) p (char*)(str->data) $738 = 0x555555693110 "" In comparison - when parsing the latter 12.456e9 which works I see two odd things: 1. the value isn't cleared despite str_truncate(parser->value, 0); at the beginning of json_parse_number 2. the value (this time) is read exactly as I assumed Breakpoint 17, json_parse_number (value_r=0x7fffffffe1a0, parser=0x555555692ee0) at json-parser.c:394 394 str_truncate(parser->value, 0); Breakpoint 18, str_append_c (chr=<optimized out>, str=0x5555556930d0) at str.h:44 44 buffer_append_c(str, chr); (gdb) p (char*)(str->data) $741 = 0x555555693110 "sub3" ^^ not cleared, still has "sub3" even later on Breakpoint 18, str_append_c (chr=<optimized out>, str=0x5555556930d0) at str.h:44 44 buffer_append_c(str, chr); (gdb) p (char*)(str->data) $742 = 0x555555693110 "1ub3" ^^ reading left to right one char at a time "over the old value", which didn't update the data. So it seems in json_parse_number the ordering of a) str_truncate(parser->value, 0); b) the parsing itself is messed up by optimization. We already know from the above that reducing just this function to -O1 or less avoids the issue. But what is it really - I don't know? Maybe you have a better idea what is going on, the issue should be reproducible when building dovecot with the toolchain present on the latest Ubuntu being 21.04 (Hirsute) right now. -- Christian Ehrhardt Staff Engineer, Ubuntu Server Canonical Ltd

Letsencrypt/OpenSSL test - Verify return code: 21
by Brady Shea 12 Apr '21

12 Apr '21

OS: Ubuntu 20.04.2 (on mutli-core VM) Dovecot (Ubuntu default/repo version): 2.3.7.2 (3c910f64b) OpenSSL (Ubuntu default/repo version): 1.1.1f 31 Mar 2020 Reproducing- Run: "openssl s_client -showcerts -connect imap.example.com:993 -servername imap.example.com" (using a diff domain obviously) Produces error: "Verify return code: 21 (unable to verify the first certificate)" (Meaning it is missing a CA verify from what I understand?) The "Verify return code: 21" error ONLY came to my attention after I had a customer complain about adding an email account to an Android phone (using the Google/Gmail default email app). -> "Certificate cannot be trusted" was shown by app when verifying imap connection. I could force it to be used, but this still bothered me, obviously. *The same certificate bundle is also used by smtp/postifx and www/nginx and works just fine. Also the openssl test shows 'verified' on both* I am posting to list mainly because on an older version of Dovecot I have running (default repo version for Ubuntu 18), I do not have this problem shown during testing with openssl. I did not have to change the ssl_cert or ssl_ca value in config. It has identical local.conf settings other than that. Granted it is also an older openssl version, too. So, I feel this may be a bug with Dovecot (or possibly OpenSSL). I finally 'fixed' it myself by using the LE 'fullchain.pem' certificate as the location for the 'ssl_cert' entry (and chain.pem for the ca entry). Previously, it was using the normal cert.pem file location. This is still the way it's setup on the other older machine and still works fine. Changes- |ssl_ca = </etc/letsencrypt/live/{CertName}/chain.pem (or 'fullchain.pem' should work) *ssl_cert = </etc/letsencrypt/live/{CertName}/fullchain.pem* (was 'cert.pem' previously) ssl_key = </etc/letsencrypt/live/{CertName}/privkey.pem| You can also view the problem here for more info : https://superuser.com/a/1640778/47628 Thanks ahead for any insight into this..

connection closed every ten minutes
by Marco Fioretti 12 Apr '21

12 Apr '21

Greetings, I use mutt on Ubuntu to access my IMAP mailboxes, on my Centos email server that runs dovecot. Everything has worked without problems for years. About one week ago, the connection between mutt and dovecot became unstable. Before, I could leave mutt connected for days in a row, no problem. Now, everything still works fine, except... I get every ten minutes I get "connection timed out" in Mutt's status line, and hundreds of messages like Apr 12 16:12:49 SERVERNAME dovecot: imap(ACCOUNTNAME): Logged out in=164 out=757 what puzzles me is that I did not touch anything both on my server and on my desktop, except an "apt-get update" some days before this started. But cannot see how it would be related anyway, nor have I found anything online like this. Any help to understand what happened and fix it is very welcome. Marco

Sieve doesn't work after LTMP Director implementation
by Gonzalo Palacios Goicolea 12 Apr '21

12 Apr '21

Hi All, We're running dovecot director por proxying imap/pop queries to the backends. Yesterday we add LMTP proxying and it works fine, but we have realized that Sieve filters are no longer working after this change. Is it mandatory to add some config to the directors or backends after implementing LMTP through Director? We use dovecot-pigeonhole-2.2.36-8.el7.x86_64 dovecot-2.2.36-8.el7.x86_64 This is director servers config, if you also need backends config, please let me know doveconf -n # 2.2.36 (1f10bfa63): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.4.24 (124e06aa) # OS: Linux 3.10.0-1160.15.2.el7.x86_64 x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.9 (Maipo) # Hostname: hidden auth_cache_negative_ttl = 5 mins auth_cache_size = 64 M auth_cache_ttl = 5 mins auth_failure_delay = 5 secs auth_verbose = yes default_client_limit = 40000 default_process_limit = 5500 director_mail_servers = Hidden director_servers = Hidden disable_plaintext_auth = no doveadm_port = 24245 listen = * lmtp_proxy = yes mail_location = maildir:%h/Maildir 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 mbox_write_locks = fcntl 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 = proxy=y nopassword=y driver = static } plugin { mail_log_events = delete undelete expunge mailbox_delete mailbox_rename mailbox_create save mail_log_fields = uid box msgid from subject sieve = file:~/sieve;active=~/.dovecot.sieve } service director { fifo_listener login/proxy-notify { mode = 0666 user = $default_login_user } inet_listener { port = 9090 } unix_listener director-userdb { mode = 0600 } unix_listener login/director { mode = 0666 } } service doveadm { inet_listener { port = 24245 } } service imap-login { executable = imap-login director } service ipc { unix_listener ipc { user = dovecot } } service lmtp { inet_listener lmtp { address = x.x.x.x port = 24 } } service managesieve-login { executable = managesieve-login director } service pop3-login { executable = pop3-login director } ssl = no ssl_cert = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it syslog_facility = local1 protocol lmtp { auth_socket_path = director-userdb } protocol doveadm { auth_socket_path = director-userdb } local 10.10.10.0/24 { doveadm_password = # hidden, use -P to show it } Thanks in advance and best regards -- *Gonzalo Palacios Goicolea* U.T de Infraestructura de Equipos Centrales /Tecnologías de la Información/ Universidad Autónoma de Madrid • Campus de Cantoblanco Antes de imprimir este correo piense si es necesario.Cuidemos el medioambiente.

I've setup Postfix to Dovecot LMTP delivery with mandatory TLS. Emails are being delivered with TLSv1.3 with no errors. However, setting: verbose_ssl = yes exposes this on each connection: lmtp(405619): Debug: SSL_get_servername() failed What it this mean, and what should I do about it?

debug SMTP commands sent/received to/from the submission service

Dear Colleagues, I'm trying to debug SMTP commands clients send to the submission service. I've tried protocol submission { rawlog_dir = /var/tmp/dovecot } but /var/tmp/dovecot remains empty. What am I missing? I'd use Wireshark but the communication between SMTP clients and Dovecot is encrypted after STARTTLS, so Wireshark is pretty useless here. Can you please point me to the right direction to log all SMTP commands? All is happening on Debian/buster, Dovecot 2.3.4.1. -- Victor Sudakov VAS4-RIPE http://vas.tomsk.ru/ 2:5005/49@fidonet

Incorrect value sent to solr
by Łukasz Szczepański 08 Apr '21

08 Apr '21

Hello, I've recently stumbled upon an error in fts-solr plugin. Dovecot sends "rows" parameter to solr when someone is searching in mailbox, but value of rows can be bigger than int in java. If I understand correctly, rows is equal to the last message id on current imap folder. I have mailbox where last uid value is 2206267083 and when I tried to search in this mailbox I got error 400 - Bad Request. On a Solr side I got an error: java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "2206267083" NumberFormat expect an int which max value is 2147483647. Quick test reviles that rows parameter isn't required for correct response from solr. I think that dovecot should check if the value of rows is a correct int, and if not, just skip this argument. Dovecot version: 2.3.11.3 (502c39af9) Solr version: 8.7.0 ------------------ Łukasz Szczepański +48 58 3509284 www.webd.pl [1] Globtel Internet Links: ------ [1] http://www.webd.pl

imapsieve and master user
by André Rodier 07 Apr '21

07 Apr '21

Hello all, I have am imap sieve script, running fine. I would like to check, if it is possible, inside the sieve script, if the current user is a master user or not. I believe this is probably not possible. Otherwise, if it is not possible, I would like to check for an external condition, like an existing file in /tmp or in the mail dir folder, for instance. The issue is that I want my imap sieve script behave differently if the master user is connected. Thanks for any piece of advice. Kind regards, André Rodier

Things are working now. But I'm still baffled why basically the same master.cf config is working on one server but not another. I wonder if different SA configs might be the problem.

Sharing a single solr server between multiple dovecot servers
by Steve Dondley 06 Apr '21

06 Apr '21

I am brand new to solr and I'm interested in using sharing it between several dovecot machines I'm running. I'm looking for some big picture guidance on what I need to do to configure solr to work with the different dovecot machines. So far, I managed to set up a single "dovecot" core on the solr server and it is working with one of my dovecot machines. I'm not sure how to proceed from here as I'm very unclear on how solr maintains separate indexes for different users on my different machines. Some basic questions I have are: 1) Do I need a new core for each of the dovecot machines I want to use with solr? 2) If not, how does solr ensure indexes for the different dovecot user do not get comingled? 3) If yes, how do I configure dovecot to tell it which solr core to use? Thanks.

Avoid duplicate emails in the sent folder
by André Rodier 06 Apr '21

06 Apr '21

Hello, I have a webmail program, that I cannot configure to not save sent emails in the Sent folder. My emails to the SOGo team don't seem to reach the mailing list anymore. So, I have no other choice to think the problem differently, and _maybe_ use Dovecot to fix this issue. Moreover, I think this could be useful for other email clients. First, I have tried to use Sieve, but no success so far: ------ imapsieve_mailbox4_name = * imapsieve_mailbox4_from = Sent imapsieve_mailbox4_causes = APPEND, COPY imapsieve_mailbox4_after = file:/var/lib/dovecot/sieve/sent- checks.sieve ------ And this sieve script: ------ Message-ID header. require [ "variables", "environment", "duplicate", "imapsieve" ]; […] if duplicate :seconds 10 { discard; } ------ Otherwise, can I configure dovecot in a certain way, for instance create a virtual Sent folder. This would not save the email when appended, but still returns the list of sent emails ? But this is not working. Any idea? Thanks for your help! André

Emails to multiple recipients on same server not getting delivered
by Steve Dondley 05 Apr '21

05 Apr '21

When I send an email to a single user on a server, it is received by the user without a problem. But when sending to multiple users, the emails disappear into a black hole. The logs contain no errors and indicate the emails were sent: Apr 5 13:10:29 email postfix/pipe[31703]: F3A912027D: to=<pete2(a)example.org>, relay=spamassassin, delay=1.6, delays=0.12/0/0/1.5, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered via spamassassin service (X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.4.2 (2018-09-13) on email.example.org X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Stat)) Apr 5 13:10:29 email postfix/pipe[31703]: F3A912027D: to=<pete3(a)example.org>, relay=spamassassin, delay=1.6, delays=0.12/0/0/1.5, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered via spamassassin service (X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.4.2 (2018-09-13) on email.example.org X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Stat)) However, when I check the inboxes for the recipients, the email is nowhere to be found.

No decode2txt script for search attachments
by Steve Dondley 05 Apr '21

05 Apr '21

I'm looking at the documentation at https://doc.dovecot.org/settings/plugin/fts-plugin/#fts-decoder It says "See the decode2text.sh script included in Dovecot for how to use this." I don't have this script installed and can't find it anywhere on my Debian Buster server. I'm running dovecot version 2.3.4.1 Not sure if the documentation is outdated or what.

Search seems slow with apache solr
by Steve Dondley 05 Apr '21

05 Apr '21

I'm experimenting with Apache Solr and Dovecot. As far as I can tell, I have dovecot working with Apache Solr as demonstrated by this output: a search text "cash" * SEARCH 4 8 26 35 45 52 54 55 63 a OK Search completed (0.356 + 0.001 + 0.068 secs). However, when using the roundcube search bar and search all messages on a single word, it takes about 18 seconds. This seems slow as I only have about 4300 message in all my folders. But I'm not sure as I have nothing to compare it to. Is there a way I can test whether roundcube is using solr to perform searches?

Mass Stripping Attachments by Directory, Age, Size
by Plutocrat 05 Apr '21

05 Apr '21

Hi, I've been looking around for a solution to this problem. I want to prune down the attachments on a server before a migration. Some of the emails are 7 years old and have 40Mb attachments, so this seems like a good opportunity to rationalize things. So perhaps I'd like to "Remove all attachments from emails older than 2 years, in the .Sent directory", or "Attachments over 10Mb anywhere in the mail tree" I've found the strip_attachments.pl script here <https://fossies.org/linux/Mail-Box/examples/strip-attachments.pl> which works fine on mbox (as tested on my local Thunderbird mboxes), but not on maildir which is on the dovecot server. My Perl isn't strong enough to re-purpose it. I've looked at ripmime and mpack/munpack, and although they seem like useful tools to do the job of deconstructing the mail into its constituent parts, it doesn't seem to help in re-building the email. I think they could be used with a bit of study into mail MIME structure, and used with a helper script. So before I take a deep dive into scripting my own solution, I just wanted to check if anyone else on the list has been through this and has some resources or pointers they can share, or maybe even someone to tell me "Duh, you can do it with doveadm of course".

thunderbird copy old messages from other dirs
by Brian 05 Apr '21

05 Apr '21

Is there a known documented way to copy messages from backup folders into the cur folder and have them not make a mess of the dates. What I see is if I copy several year old messages to the cur folder on an ubuntu box the massages when viewed on an android phone appear out of order. I tried deleting the dovecot index and cache files and restarting the service, I also tried running these 2 scripts I found. I added some echoes to see what was occurring. Still, messages appear out of order and some do not appear at all on the droid. I tried copying the actual message files out of various cur dirs and still some were very out of date. The second script seemed to be adjusting the dates of the files properly, but I am not sure what android gmail actually uses to sort. #!/bin/bash for i in `ls /home/brian/Maildir/cur/` do # Find the date field and then remove up to the first space (Date: ) DATE=$(grep '^Date:' $i | head -1 | cut -d' ' -f1 --complement) # Create a timestamp from the date above STAMP=$(date --date="$DATE" +%Y%m%d%H%M) # touch the file with the correct timestamp touch -t $STAMP $i echo "$i stamped" echo "$DATE" echo "$STAMP" done ------------ #!/bin/bash # Fix emails with bad timestamps in a maildir # This script reads the date from the email header and set its UNIX timestamp and renames it with the proper date # e.g. this: # dec. 05 2017 1512499812.M908995P21566.ip-111-11-11-11,S=16331,W=16746:2,S # becomes that (the email Date header is "Date: Tue, 22 Oct 2013 10:07:21 +0100"): # oct. 22 2013 1382432841.M908995P21566.ip-111-11-11-11,S=16331,W=16746:2,S cd "/home/brian/Maildir/cur"; for i in `ls 1482809425.M277770P17438*` do echo "$i" # We extract the date from the email headers DATE=$(grep '^Date:' $i | head -1 | cut -d' ' -f1 --complement) # We compute a touch-compatible timestamp as well as the real timestamp TOUCHSTAMP=$(date --date="$DATE" +%Y%m%d%H%M) TIMESTAMP=$(date --date="$DATE" +%s) # We set the file timestamp touch -t $TOUCHSTAMP $i # We rename the file with preprending timestamp newfilename="$TIMESTAMP.${i#*.}" mv "$i" "$newfilename" echo "$newfilename" echo "******" done

.IMAP locations
by Elise 03 Apr '21

03 Apr '21

I have this account, /usr/home/me To be able to admin websites, I created a folder /usr/home/me/www , containing my siteroot /usr/home/me/www/mysite.com My dovecot.config: mail_location = mbox:/home/%u:INBOX=/var/mail/%u the actual mailfolder is /usr/home/me/mail , which I defined in my mailclient as 'mail/' The issue now is that Dovecot is indexing my whole /usr/home/me/ folder, including the www folder, in which it also idexes every folder that is in /usr/home/me/www/mysite.com . It puts in these folders an .imap folder that is containing the exact content of the folder it is put in. So my site takes double space by this Dovecot indexing. To solve this issue, I defined my mail_location line as mail_location = mbox:/home/%u/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u and removed the 'mail/' directive from my mail client. For some reason this does not prevent Dovecot to index the subfolders of /usr/home/me/www/ - Do I have to remove all Dovecot related indexing files by hand to solve this and restart Dovecot service afterwards? - Can you tell me how I can define the Dovecot index files location so that there will be no .imap folder created anymore in my /usr/home/me/www/ subfolder(s)? Thanks for you help! Elise #CSSis {beautiful};

Seeking Advice for data recovery
by Riccardo Bicelli 03 Apr '21

03 Apr '21

Hello, we had a drive failure and needed to restore our dovecot server to operational status in no time. So we restored an "old" snapshot backup and worked on the failed drive in order to recover the mails. Data backup didn't worked :-( Now the storage is updated with mails from beginning of time to snapshot, and from recovery day to now, and a copy of the storage of mails from beginning of time to failure. Is there a way to "inject" the mails from "snapshot to failure"? Which is the best way? We're using mdbox. Thanks, Riccardo

Emails Ending up in Junk
by Asai 03 Apr '21

03 Apr '21

Greetings, I'm trying to debug an issue with a user who is finding emails (user uses Thunderbird as client) ending up in Junk folder, and constantly marks email as Not Junk, but important email ends up in Junk folder. I have sieve set up, but am unable to determine if this is the result of a sieve problem (sieve will automatically move certain emails into Junk if certain headers are present, but these headers are not present on these emails.) I'm looking in Dovecot debug logs to try to figure this out, but all I can find is sometimes this, and I don't know if this is relevant. Can anyone point us in the right direction for solving this issue?

Virtual folders and mailbox_list_get_root_forced
by Joan Moreau 02 Apr '21

02 Apr '21

Hi The function mailbox_list_get_root_forced returns sometimes the first or the second value of the INDEX param for the same mailbox. How to make sure this returns only the correct one of the corresponding mailbox ? mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%n:LAYOUT=fs:INDEX=/var/mailindex namespace { location = virtual:/nix/store/toto-virtual:INDEX=/var/vmail/%d/%n/virtual prefix = virtual/ separator = / subscriptions = no } Thank you

Replicator: getting full resync requests to sync

Hello. I'm getting the following output. root@mail:~# doveadm replicator status Queued 'sync' requests 0 Queued 'high' requests 0 Queued 'low' requests 0 Queued 'failed' requests 0 Queued 'full resync' requests 61 Waiting 'failed' requests 4 How can i get the full resync requests to actually sync? Is there a configurable resync delay time that i can use to force a resync of these mailboxes? Also, is there a way using either doveadm replicator or doveadm sync that i can see all the full resync users?

Temporary disable push notifications while restoring a mailbox
by Ralf Becker 31 Mar '21

31 Mar '21

We use "doveamd import" to restore mailboxes from a snapshot. Since we use push with Dovecot 2.3.13: mail_plugins = $mail_plugins mail_lua notify push_notification push_notification_lua plugin { push_notification_driver = lua:file=/etc/dovecot/dovecot-push.lua push_lua_url = http://172.17.0.1/ the import creates a flood of push-notifications. Therefore the questions: is there a possibility to disable push for "doveadm import" on the command line (not in general)?

special characters in FTS Solr fail

Hi, I want to report a bug about searching. My dovecot version is 2.3.10.1 (a3d0e1171) and use Solr 7.7.2 for full text search. The issue appear when try to search using solr special characters. For example if I have emails with the subject that contain the only character "(" open parenthesis, then try to search it I receive zero results. In the Solr log seems the "(" is correctly excaped as "\(": 2021-03-30 15:14:20.304 INFO (qtp333683827-20) [ x:dovecot] o.a.s.c.S.Request [dovecot] webapp=/solr path=/select params={q={!lucene+q.op%3DAND}subject:\(&fl=uid,score&sort=uid+asc&fq=%2Bbox:6fff5821c5a2365df4060000d0d97f83+%2Buser:titolare01@kendama.it&rows=631&wt=xml} hits=0 status=0 QTime=2 I provide dovecot-sysreport as attachment.

Replication - I/O has stalled
by Stefan Möding 29 Mar '21

Hi! I'm running Dovecot 2.3.14 from the Dovecot repo on Debian-9. I've configured replication and often notice the following log messages: Mar 29 09:23:13 atlantia dovecot: doveadm: Error: Couldn't lock /var/spool/vmail/stm/.dovecot-sync.lock: fcntl(/var/spool/vmail/stm/.dovecot-sync.lock, write-lock, F_SETLKW) locking failed: Timed out after 30 seconds (WRITE lock held by pid 30810) Mar 29 09:27:43 atlantia dovecot: dsync-local(stm)<d79ZNRZ/YWBaeAAAr9pkTg>: Error: dsync(pacifica.moeding.net): I/O has stalled, no activity for 600 seconds (last sent=mailbox, last recv=mailbox_state) Mar 29 09:27:43 atlantia dovecot: dsync-local(stm)<d79ZNRZ/YWBaeAAAr9pkTg>: Error: Timeout during state=sync_mails (send=mailbox recv=mailbox) Process 30810 is doveadm-server when this happended: PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND 1080 ?

S 0:00 \_ dovecot/doveadm-server [stm System send:mailbox recv:mailbox] Sometimes these error occur once every hour. I have replication_full_sync_interval = 1 hours, so I have the strong feeling that this is the cause. Maybe there is a race condition when full syncs are started concurrently on both sides? Is anybody else observing this? -- Stefan
