Hello, I'm using dovecot 2.1.16 with SiS configured as: mail_attachment_dir = <mypath> mail_attachment_min_size = 128 k mail_attachment_fs = sis posix mail_attachment_hash = %{sha1} I'm having a few errors like: Sep 18 15:46:32 myotis51 dovecot: imap(igd): Error: Attachment file /mail/users/attachments/16/b0/16b0b2023a903db14d7f7bcdb1cc04c3f67a4fcb-b32c0a2aa6ae39527c870000a9061514 larger than expected (235866) They are really few and users haven't reported any problem, but the errors are there. In this case, actual file size of the attachment is: amateo_adm@myotis51:~$ sudo stat /mail/users/attachments/16/b0/16b0b2023a903db14d7f7bcdb1cc04c3f67a4fcb-b32c0a2aa6ae39527c870000a9061514 Fichero: «/mail/users/attachments/16/b0/16b0b2023a903db14d7f7bcdb1cc04c3f67a4fcb-b32c0a2aa6ae39527c870000a9061514» Tamaño: 174476 Bloques: 344 Bloque E/S: 4096 fichero regular Dispositivo: fc00h/64512d Nodo-i: 152334473 Enlaces: 2 Acceso: (0600/-rw-------) Uid: ( 2012/ vmail) Gid: ( 204/ vmail) Acceso: 2013-09-18 15:46:20.540728654 +0200 Modificación: 2013-09-18 15:46:20.556728948 +0200 Cambio: 2013-09-18 15:46:20.556728949 +0200 Creación: - and file is identified as: amateo_adm@myotis51:~$ sudo file /mail/users/attachments/16/b0/16b0b2023a903db14d7f7bcdb1cc04c3f67a4fcb-b32c0a2aa6ae39527c870000a9061514 /mail/users/attachments/16/b0/16b0b2023a903db14d7f7bcdb1cc04c3f67a4fcb-b32c0a2aa6ae39527c870000a9061514: MIME entity, UTF-8 Unicode text, with very long lines, with CRLF line terminators Any idea? -- Angel L.

[Dovecot] problem with dovecot replication over tcp
by nik600 22 Sep '13

22 Sep '13

Dear all i'm following the wiki at this page http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Replication but i'm getting this errors: #doveadm -v sync tcp:dst_hostname #doveadm(root): Fatal: Failed to start dsync-server command: 75 If i look at the dst dovecot.log file i get: Sep 16 12:42:18 auth: Error: passdb(root,xx): Auth client doesn't have permissions to do a PASS lookup: /var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb mode=0666, but not owned by UID 1002(vmail) Sep 16 12:42:18 doveadm(xx,root): Error: user root: Auth PASS lookup failed Sep 16 12:42:18 doveadm(xx,root): Debug: auth input: Sep 16 12:42:18 doveadm(xx,root): Error: dsync-server: /var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb: passdb lookup failed (to see if user is proxied, because doveadm_proxy_port is set) I've also tried to perform a #chown vmail /var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb But the error is the same. If i do the #doveadm user * I get a list of users loaded from the database i've added these line to my dovecot-sql.conf iterate_query = SELECT username from mailbox where active=1 Any idea? Thanks -- /*************/ nik600 http://www.kumbe.it

[Dovecot] DH Parameter
by Dimi - 22 Sep '13

22 Sep '13

Hi! Is there any possibility to let dovecot serve >1024 Bit DH Parameters at SSL/TLS-connections? Is it possible to replace /var/lib/dovecot/ssl-parameters.ssl with DH-parameter generated by openssl? If not: Are there any plans to implement that? Thank you!

From the stacktrace I could see that the problem origins from the quota plugin. Thus, when I disabled the quota plugin the problem went away. The problem did only occur on a high concurrency level on one mbox/folder, running imaptest with only one user and 10 clients. When we run imaptest in a more real-world fashion with several thousand of users and clients=100, the error did not occur. Because of this I am not sure how problematic this bug will be in a production environment? What do you think?

[Dovecot] Read-only account through INDEX=MEMORY:CONTROL=MEMORY and non-writable Unix-permissions
by Steffen Kaiser 22 Sep '13

22 Sep '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, my goal is to provide a special mailbox for some mail accounts. The user should get the information, to look somewhere else. The user must not change anything at all. I also don't want to provide a mailbox for each user. I got the setup below, which seems to run with Dovecot v2.2; however, "CONTROL=MEMORY" is not documented. Is the setup stable for next versions of Dovecot or is CONTROL=MEMORY not a feature, but a bug? ====== user settings: home=/home/nomailbox mail=maildir:/home/nomailbox/Maildir:INDEX=MEMORY:CONTROL=MEMORY uid=vmail gid=vmail The structure of the directory: /home/nomailbox/: total 12 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Oct 24 2007 ./ drwxr-xr-x 18 root root 4096 Sep 9 10:36 ../ dr-xr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Oct 24 2007 Maildir/ /home/nomailbox/Maildir: total 20 dr-xr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Oct 24 2007 ./ drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Oct 24 2007 ../ dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 24 2007 cur/ dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Sep 9 08:23 new/ dr-xr-xr-- 2 root root 4096 Oct 24 2007 tmp/ /home/nomailbox/Maildir/cur: total 8 dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 24 2007 ./ dr-xr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Oct 24 2007 ../ - -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Oct 24 2007 .placeholder /home/nomailbox/Maildir/new: total 12 dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Sep 9 08:23 ./ dr-xr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Oct 24 2007 ../ - -r--r--r-- 1 root root 804 Sep 9 08:24 no-mailbox-for-you /home/nomailbox/Maildir/tmp: total 8 dr-xr-xr-- 2 root root 4096 Oct 24 2007 ./ dr-xr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Oct 24 2007 ../ - -- Steffen Kaiser -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iQEVAwUBUi22kF3r2wJMiz2NAQLJEAf/WM0jXqVmZ6HtEvoKTB4grE2xFfN4Ylig imhPVf/yufYLzQw+w98fhrozEcm7UK0mUWpiJQzMowYyLNdF8tVwhgTdAfFa6fhK +L0+GxVcCuvRq/YjIivhgQ7gwZlhjLWa43Fo65HAqude4nnuyb5/RuVb0aPBlB73 1V5nMB5f9PSrlAjtK4kLOq1VRNp2SCVfBem/ESqhYSZ+O51gGZ8JRm7skWr82GmZ tdeYDa52h8CWm67S1lzNK42yNoElkLrH5MZJLCBmjg/hLjD99aMCAdgWRL5zyg/h bZzoOZNztQq0CwBHTB+KY9YBkfMmXzFtse3C0a2Eg9m5bmJmNblPGw== =iYWU -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

[Dovecot] permission problem when using public namespace and "subscription = yes"
by Lars Uhlmann 22 Sep '13

22 Sep '13

I have configured an public namespace "Test" for a group of users: | namespace public { | separator = . | prefix = Test. | location = maildir:/mailroot/public/Test | hidden = no | list = yes | subscriptions = yes | } Using each users own subscription file for a public mailbox doesn't make sense when the mailbox is heavily used. Every directory operation (create/rename) needs to be synced between all subscribers automatically and immediately. So I set "subscriptions = yes". My ACLS look like this: | user=mark lrwstiekx | user=tim lrwstiekx | user=max lr | user=jenny lrwstiekx | user=louis lr Nevertheless _all_ my mail users still have access to the namespace's directory tree. It is my understanding that when a user doesn't has 'lookup' access, he should not be able to subscribe to this mailbox. In my opinion this is a security problem. ACLs must be processed _before_ a shared subscrition file is parsed. regards Lars

I use bl.blocklist.de as a DNSRBL for ssh BFD, but I think it also detects BFD for other protocols: http://www.blocklist.de/en/index.html The nice thing about this RBL is that you can also contribute by configuring your Fail2Ban/DenyHost to forward logs to the maintainers, to widen the detection network. I get about a 60% hit on ssh BFD attacks. I also found http://openbl.org but they distribute it as a downloadable file rather than as a DNSRBL. Maybe I can introduce the latter to the former.

[Dovecot] Solved: startup failures "net_listen_unix(...) failed: Invalid argument"
by C. Mills 22 Sep '13

22 Sep '13

I ran into this and had a bit of trouble tracking a diagnosis down, so here it is for the archives in case anyone else runs into this. A new installation of dovecot was failing to start, with these messages: $ ./sbin/dovecot Error: service(imap-urlauth): net_listen_unix(.../var/run/dovecot/token-login/imap-urlauth) failed: Invalid argument Error: service(auth): net_listen_unix(.../var/run/dovecot/token-login/tokenlogin) failed: Invalid argument Fatal: Failed to start listeners Some of the other processes seemed to be starting up fine, and they created sockets in the expected dir, but the above two wouldn't. stracing the processes didn't show a lot, but eventually I checked the length of the installation path, and found the above two socket paths were exceeding the maximum path length limit for Unix sockets -- 108 chars on my Linux boxen. I haven't checked SuS or Posix to see what the standards say the actual minimum required size for the maximum path length is -- it might be shorter yet on other systems. Moving the installation to a less deeply nested hierarchy fixed the problem. I hope this saves someone else a headache someday. C.
