pigeonhole permission errors regarding bin_path

Hi, While trying to use the `sieve_script_bin_path` option to have Pigeonhole auto-create directories for compiled sieve scripts, I ran into some permission issues: "Error: sieve: binary /run/dovecot2/sieve/jasper/84lkfddk8d88ib7zh3zh6hmy5lrvn54x-after.svbin: save: failed to create temporary file: open(/run/dovecot2/sieve/jasper/84lkfddk8d88ib7zh3zh6hmy5lrvn54x-after.svbin.) failed: Permission denied (euid=986(dovemail) egid=985(dovemail) missing +w perm: /run/dovecot2/sieve/jasper, dir owner missing perms)" I'm using `bin_path` like this: `sieve_script_bin_path = "/run/dovecot2/sieve/%{user|username|lower}";` and the permissions of the `sieve` directory are as follows: ``` $ ls -lah sieve total 0 drwxr-xrwx 3 root root 60 Jul 5 13:01 . drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 780 Jul 5 13:00 .. dr-xr-xr-x 2 dovemail dovemail 40 Jul 5 13:01 jasper ``` `strace`ing Dovecot shows that it uses `0555` when creating this directory (but not before setting `umask` to `000`?): ``` 260940 newfstatat(AT_FDCWD</var/vmail/jappie.dev/jasper>, "/run/dovecot2/sieve/jasper", 0x7fff4306af00, 0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 260940 umask(000) = 077 260940 mkdir("/run/dovecot2/sieve/jasper", 0555) = 0 260940 umask(077) = 000 ``` I also tried patching Pigeonhole's source to log the value of `mode`: ``` diff --git a/src/lib-sieve/sieve-storage.c b/src/lib-sieve/sieve-storage.c index e68fe39f..4c7a081f 100644 --- a/src/lib-sieve/sieve-storage.c +++ b/src/lib-sieve/sieve-storage.c @@ -887,6 +887,6 @@ int sieve_storage_setup_bin_path(struct sieve_storage *storage, mode_t mode) if (mkdir_parents(bin_path, mode) == 0) { e_debug(storage->event, - "Created directory for binaries: %s", bin_path); + "Created directory for binaries: %s %u", bin_path, mode); return 1; } ``` and this logged `365`, which - if I understand `mode_t` correctly - corresponds to `-wxrw-r-x`: ``` Debug: sieve: storage after: file: Created directory for binaries: /run/dovecot2/sieve/jasper 365 ``` Needless to say, I'm a little confused as to what's going on here - am I missing something or does this look like a Pigeonhole / Dovecot bug?

how to disable services on the docker image?
by Felix Rubio 06 Jul '25

06 Jul '25

Hi everybody! I am trying to find the cleanest way to disable services (like pop3-login, pop3, etc.) in the docker image, if possible extending the existing configuration with conf.d files. Is this possible? I have tried using the protocol keyword on those services, after setting the protocols to that ones I want, and the services still get instantiated (thus consuming resources as well). Thank you! Felix

null pointer crash in lib11_trash_plugin.so

sievec fails when run as non-root - bug?
by Genes Lists 30 Jun '25

30 Jun '25

1) With 2.4.1, when a non-root user runs sievec on their own sieve scripts it fails to run due to permission denied on the dovecot certificate key (which is only readable by root). Specifically: sievec active.sieve doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10- ssl.conf line 10: cert_file: open(/etc/.../fullchain.pem) failed: Permission denied What is recommended way to deal with this? 2) Separate question: Might this explain why users sieve scripts are not running? I assume not as there are no 'sieve' items reported by lmtp in the logs. Config has: protocol lmtp { postmaster_address = postmaster@<domain>.com mail_plugins { sieve = yes } hostname = imap.<domain>.com } sieve_script before { driver = file path = /etc/dovecot/sieve/global active_path = remove_dup.sieve } sieve_script personal { driver = file path = ~/sieve active_path = ~/.dovecot.sieve } sieve_script after { driver = file path = /etc/dovecot/sieve active_path = default.sieve } thanks. -- Gene

Identifying spamd problems

Hi, I have use Dovecot, Spamassassin and Roundcube. My spam assassin is configured to use SQL. I have noticed that when I move a message to the junk folder, it increases the number of spam on the database. But when I move it out of the junk folder, it doesn’t increase the ham nor decreases the spam count. When running sa-learn manually, it does everything right.

SASL authentication against LDAP w/ client certs, supposed to work?
by Bruno Hertz 26 Jun '25

26 Jun '25

Hi all I'm currently testing Dovecot 2.4, considering a migration from 2.3, and all works fine except authentication against LDAP (openldap slapd) with client certificates. Which I had no problem with on 2.3 for seven years or so. Versions: Linux Alpine 3.22 Dovecot 2.4.1-4 (7d8c0e5759) Alpine package, but patched with https://github.com/dovecot/core/commit/431e328b3b035ddb187526cd13bccf29833a… Now, first a Dovecot configuration that does work, unencrypted simple bind against Unix domain socket: ldap_version = 3 ldap_uris = ldapi:/// ldap_base = ou=users,dc=mydomain,dc=internal ldap_auth_dn = cn=dovecot,dc=mydomain,dc=internal ldap_auth_dn_password = secret passdb ldap { bind = no default_password_scheme = SSHA ldap_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%{user})) fields { user = %{ldap:uid} password = %{ldap:userPassword} } } Meaning I'm doing password lookups, IMAP users can authenticate against Dovecot, Postfix correctly delivers incoming emails, everything works flawlessly. Now the setup I'm talking about, which does not work: ldap_version = 3 ldap_uris = ldaps://localhost.mydomain.internal ldap_base = ou=users,dc=mydomain,dc=internal ldap_auth_sasl_mechanisms = external ssl_client_cert_file = /etc/ssl/ldap/dovecot.crt ssl_client_key_file = /etc/ssl/ldap/dovecot.key # this just as a precaution during testing, validation *does* work ssl_client_require_valid_cert = no ssl_client_ca_dir = /etc/ssl/certs passdb ldap { bind = no default_password_scheme = SSHA ldap_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%{user})) fields { user = %{ldap:uid} password = %{ldap:userPassword} } } What happens here, as far as I can see, is Dovecot connects to slapd, initiates a SASL session but then fails to send the client certificate. slapd realizes the cert isn't coming, asserts there's no other SASL "external" method to fall back to and disconnects Dovecot. Game over. Now, before somebody thinks 'maybe something wrong with the certs or so', the very same setup on the very same machine works perfectly with two other client types, namely - openldap standard utils - postfix (recipient lookup) With the utils I have this setup, with the same client cert URI ldaps://localhost.mydomain.internal BASE ou=users,dc=mydomain,dc=internal SASL_MECH external TLS_REQCERT demand TLS_CACERT /root/ssl/ca.crt TLS_CERT /etc/ssl/ldap/dovecot.crt TLS_KEY /etc/ssl/ldap/dovecot.key and ldapwhoami connects without problem, and with ldapsearch I can perform the very same searches Dovecot is supposed to do. Postfix, for recipient lookups, I have configured like this: version = 3 server_host = ldaps://localhost.mydomain.internal search_base = ou=users,dc=mydomain,dc=internal query_filter = (&(mail=%s)) result_attribute = uid bind = sasl sasl_mechs = external tls_require_cert = demand tls_ca_cert_dir = /etc/ssl/certs tls_cert = /etc/ssl/ldap/dovecot.crt tls_key = /etc/ssl/ldap/dovecot.key Again, no problem to authenticate agains LDAP with the very same client certificate. The CA is correctly installed into /etc/ssl/certs , by the way, with update-ca-certificates. So out of 3 client types with the very same setup only Dovecot fails to successfully negotiate the client cert SASL session, while, after a good look through the docs, I really don't see any other settings I could tweak. Thoughts? Greetings, Bruno

Dovecot quota and IMAP MOVE
by marekstefanka＠duck.com 26 Jun '25

26 Jun '25

Hello, I would like to kindly ask, if there is some recommendation for dovecot quota configuration, to prevent quota-warning triggering when IMAP MOVE command is executed close to some thresholds. Problem seems to be this: Jun 10 11:08:20 srv1 dovecot[39677]: imap(box1(a)domain.com)<48726><0aCoCTQ3TC8KHgcC>: Debug: quota: Executing warning: quota-warning box1(a)domain.com (because bytes=3713971 -> 7301217 over limit 4096000) Jun 10 11:08:20 srv1 dovecot[39677]: imap(box1(a)domain.com)<48726><0aCoCTQ3TC8KHgcC>: Debug: quota: Executing warning: quota-warning box1(a)domain.com (because bytes=7301217 -> 3713971 below limit 4096000) So during any IMAP MOVE, which is copy-then-delete process, quota goes over and then below limit, triggering closest threshold. Quota config: quota = count:User quota quota_vsizes = yes # default, we specific user limits via sql quota_rule = *:storage=0 quota_grace = 50M quota_warning = storage=100%% quota-warning %u quota_warning2 = -storage=100%% quota-warning %u quota_warning3 = storage=90%% quota-warning %u quota_warning4 = storage=80%% quota-warning %u Recommended fix does not seems to work (tried multiple namespaces): quota_rule = Folder:storage=+100M Dovecot version is 2.3.21.1 Thank you for any help with this.

"Jun 23 07:30:58 email-001 dovecot: imap (steven)<120035><W910Ii44SNgAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB>: Error: Mailbox Trash: ftruncate() failed with mbox: Structure needs cleaning" There's corruption in your filesystem. Dovecot can't do anything about this - it is the system call that's failing when trying to access the data. michael
