dovecot 2.3.19.1 + tika-server 2.4.1 failed attachment scanning -- ERROR: 'corrupt stream'?
by PGNet Dev 15 Jul '22

15 Jul '22

i'm running dovecot 2.3.19.1 + fts_tika for attachment scanning, with tika-server 2.4.1 submitting a PDF attachment DIRECTLY to tika, via curl, there's no issue -- scan's OK on mail receipt in dovecot, the attachment is submitted to tika via fts, but scanning fails with a 'corrupt stream' ERROR. i've posted the issue, with details here, @ tika ML, https://lists.apache.org/thread/pztsq8tb8xqz3s4kmjpnt9p3zt07y05k where it's suggested the message may be getting truncated since direct-via-curl doesn't truncate, it seems that the submission process -- via fts plugin -- is a possiblity. can anyone confirm PDF attachment scan in a similar config, with latest versions? or suggest what diagnostic to use to dig for further, relevant troubleshooting info in dovecot+fts?

Error: conn unix:/run/dovecot/stats-writer : Timeout waiting for handshake response
by filipe＠digirati.com.br 15 Jul '22

Hi, I'm using ubuntu 22.04 and installed dovecot 2.3.16. I did some initial testing with 100 email accounts and everything seemed to work perfectly the same as dovecot version 2.3.16 on another server. So I performed the migration of approximately 30 thousand email accounts, but the following error started to appear and I know well what to do: Jul 14 18:55:29 box5 dovecot: pop3: Error: conn unix:/run/dovecot/stats-writer (pid=3733995,uid=0): Timeout waiting for handshake response Jul 14 18:55:29 box5 dovecot: imap: Error: conn unix:/run/dovecot/stats-writer (pid=3733995,uid=0): Timeout waiting for handshake response Jul 14 18:55:29 box5 dovecot: managesieve: Error: conn unix:/run/dovecot/stats-writer (pid=3733995,uid=0): Timeout waiting for handshake response Jul 14 18:55:29 box5 dovecot: lmtp: Error: conn unix:/run/dovecot/stats-writer (pid=3733995,uid=0): Timeout waiting for handshake response Jul 14 18:55:29 box5 dovecot: imap-login: Error: conn unix:/run/dovecot/stats-writer (pid=3733995,uid=0): Timeout waiting for handshake response Jul 14 18:55:29 box5 dovecot: imap: Error: conn unix:/run/dovecot/stats-writer (pid=3733995,uid=0): Timeout waiting for handshake response Jul 14 18:55:29 box5 dovecot: imap-login: Error: conn unix:/run/dovecot/stats-writer (pid=3733995,uid=0): Timeout waiting for handshake response Jul 14 18:55:29 box5 dovecot: message repeated 3 times: [ imap-login: Error: conn unix:/run/dovecot/stats-writer (pid=3733995,uid=0): Timeout waiting for handshake response] Jul 14 18:55:29 box5 dovecot: imap: Error: conn unix:/run/dovecot/stats-writer (pid=3733995,uid=0): Timeout waiting for handshake response Jul 14 18:55:29 box5 dovecot: message repeated 2 times: [ imap: Error: conn unix:/run/dovecot/stats-writer (pid=3733995,uid=0): Timeout waiting for handshake response] Permissions on files 79411 srw------- 1 root root 0 Jul 14 18:55 stats-reader 79412 srw-rw---- 1 root dovecot 0 Jul 14 18:55 stats-writer Does anyone know anything about this problem that can help me?

Is multi factor authentication practical/feasible?
by Steve Dondley 14 Jul '22

14 Jul '22

I have a small client whose insurance company insists they have MFA for their email to be covered under some kind of data protection policy. Currently I have the client set up on a Debian box for the email server coupled with roundcube for webmail. Most the users just use roundcube but some also use their mobile devices to check email. Maybe one person uses outlook. There’s about 5 to 10 users total. I know roundcube offers a MFA plugin. But I don’t have the foggiest idea how of an iPhone, Android device, or Outlook could all be set up to work with MFA with a standard dovecot/postfix setup. Are there any practical solutions for easily implementing MFA that could work across multiple devices?

Thunderbird / Copy to Send folder times out
by Paul Kudla (SCOM.CA Internet Services Inc.) 14 Jul '22

14 Jul '22

I know this has been asked before in both Dovecot & Thunderbird Forums (i will posting this info there as well) It seems every once in a while that copy to sent folder timeout occurs and you have to hit retry a few time for it to complete I know this is a network issue (ie network speed, congestion etc does cause an issue) That being said is there an imap timeout variable that would addres this issue and or does anyone know about a thunderbird variable I have been unable to locate anything specific to this issue and am aware that we probably need to patch both sides? ideas anyone ?? -- Happy Thursday !!!

Having an issue migrating mailboxes with the doveadm backup tool...
by Tom Spettigue 14 Jul '22

14 Jul '22

Hey all. We've got some users that live on our primary email server (which lives in our internal network) that we need to migrate to a second email server (which lives in our DMZ). Both servers serve our domain, example.com, but our first email server runs UW-IMAP, while our newer second server is running dovecot. We need to get these users cleanly migrated over, with all of their emails, and we're trying to do so with the doveadm backup tool - figuring that it will probably "do" Dovecot better than a generic IMAP to IMAP tool. So far, no dice - we get the following error message: Jul 13 16:00:00 doveadm(user(a)example.com): Fatal: All your namespaces have a location setting. Only namespaces with empty location settings are converted. (One namespace should default to mail_location setting) Here is the command I'm trying to run: doveadm -c /etc/dovecot/dovecot-migration.conf -D -o imapc_user=user -o imapc_password=password backup -Ru user(a)example.com imapc: Here is the output of doveconf -n: # 2.3.16 (7e2e900c1a): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 4.18.0-372.16.1.el8_6.x86_64 x86_64 AlmaLinux release 8.6 (Sky Tiger) # Hostname: example.com auth_mechanisms = plain login auth_verbose = yes disable_plaintext_auth = no info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-info.log log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log mail_debug = yes mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/passwd driver = passwd-file } postmaster_address = postmaster(a)example.com protocols = imap lmtp service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } } service lmtp { executable = lmtp -L inet_listener lmtp { address = 1.2.3.4 127.0.0.1 ::1 port = 24 } unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { group = postfix mode = 0666 user = postfix } user = vmail } ssl_cert = </etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/fullchain.pem ssl_dh = # hidden, use -P to show it ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it ssl_prefer_server_ciphers = yes userdb { args = username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/passwd auth_verbose = yes default_fields = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/var/vmail/%u driver = passwd-file } protocol lmtp { lmtp_rawlog_dir = /tmp/dovecot/%u log_path = /var/log/dovecot-lmtp-debug.log } -- Tom Spettigue Staff Engineer (720) 406-5269 Zonit Structured Solutions www.zonit.com

Re: Deleting "folders only" folder doesn't actually delete
by Joseph Tam 13 Jul '22

13 Jul '22

> I'm using dovecot-2.3.17.1-1.fc34.x86_64 on fedora34 and Thunderbird 91 on fedora35. When creating a folder of type "folders only" in Thunderbird, then trying to delete it, it doesn't actually delete it from the filesystem. Is this a permissions problem? Or perhaps a Thunderbird problem? Are you using MBOX backend? I think I ran across this problem and it's some confusion as to whether the target is a file or directory. I was finally able to delete it by appending '/' to the name of the folder in my mail reader, but some mail readers do not allow you to type the mailbox name to delete. I believe Tbunderbird has some IMAP server setting that will give it a hint. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

dsync confusion
by dovecot＠chubb.wattle.id.au 12 Jul '22

12 Jul '22

Hi Folks, The man page for doveadm-sync says that the final argument is the destination to which files will be written. But the example later in the man page says the opposite. Under 'Conversion' I read: ``` Assuming that the mail_location setting in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf is set to: mail_location = mdbox:~/mdbox, a logged in system user may convert her/his mails from its Maildir in her/his home directory to the mdbox mailbox format. The user has to execute the command: doveadm sync maildir:~/Maildir ``` which has the destination in /etc/dovecot/conf.d and the _source_ as the final argument to doveadm sync. It seems on trying it, that the example doesn't work. To convert from, say mbox to Maildir, I had to do: doveadm backup 'maildir:~/Maildir:LAYOUT=fs' with /etc/dovecot containing mail_location = mbox:~/Mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u:INDEX=/var/indices/%u Even this didn't work properly for me. All the messages from all the mboxen in ~/Mail ended up in ~/Maildir/cur and the other mailboxes ended up with empty cur/ and new/ directories under ~/Maildir/xxx/ Dovecot version 2.3.19.1 (9b53102964) installed from Debian sid on x86_64. Home directories are NFS mounted. I don't think the rest of the config is relevant. -- Peter Chubb

Trouble configuring managesive plugin for roundcube
by Austin Witmer 10 Jul '22

10 Jul '22

Hello all! I’ve got a bit of a problem that I would like some help with. So, I have two servers, one is my mail server running postfix, dovecot etc. I have a second server setup as my roundcube server. Both servers are running on the same LAN network. I have sieve scripts setup in dovecot in my mail server and they are working great! My trouble is that I can’t seem to make my roundcube talk correctly to managesieve on my mail server. Here is the mail.log file from the mail server when I try to create a sievescript from roundcube webmail: Jul 10 04:11:45 mail dovecot: managesieve-login: Disconnected: Too many invalid commands. (no auth attempts in 0 secs): user=<>, rip=10.116.0.3, lip=10.116.0.2, session=<cZMzomvjyNgKdAAD> And here is my managesieve configuration from my roundcube server. /var/www/roundcube/plugins/managesieve/config.inc.php <?php $config['managesieve_port'] = 4190; $config['managesieve_host'] = 'ssl://10.116.0.2'; $config['managesieve_auth_type'] = null; $config['managesieve_auth_cid'] = null; $config['managesieve_auth_pw'] = null; $config['managesieve_usetls'] = false; $config['managesieve_conn_options'] = array( 'ssl' => array( 'verify_peer' => false, 'allow_self_signed' => true, ), ); $config['managesieve_default'] = 'var/lib/dovecot/sieve/default.sieve'; $config['managesieve_script_name'] = 'default.sieve'; $config['managesieve_mbox_encoding'] = 'UTF-8'; $config['managesieve_replace_delimiter'] = ''; $config['managesieve_disabled_extensions'] = []; $config['managesieve_debug'] = true; $config['managesieve_kolab_master'] = false; $config['managesieve_filename_extension'] = '.sieve'; $config['managesieve_filename_exceptions'] = []; $config['managesieve_domains'] = []; $config['managesieve_default_headers'] = ['Subject', 'From', 'To']; $config['managesieve_vacation'] = 0; $config['managesieve_forward'] = 0; $config['managesieve_vacation_interval'] = 0; $config['managesieve_vacation_addresses_init'] = false; $config['managesieve_vacation_from_init'] = false; $config['managesieve_notify_methods'] = ['mailto']; $config['managesieve_raw_editor'] = true; $config['managesieve_disabled_actions'] = []; $config['managesieve_allowed_hosts'] = null; Does anybody have any clue why roundcube isn’t able to login in to managesieve on my mail server? Are there more logs/configs you would like to see? Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions! Austin Witmer
