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?

Block insecure connections
by Andrea Gabellini 09 Aug '21

09 Aug '21

Hello, I am writing for advice on how to deal with a problem. I have a Dovecot Proxy/Director -> Backend installation, all with version 2.3 Encryption on POP3 / IMAP connections is currently optional. I would like to set it as mandatory but despite the numerous reminders many users have not taken steps to adapt. Setting it as mandatory would mean having too many calls to support. I would therefore like to block the connection to only some of them and slowly reach my target. I can't find how and where to fit in to be able to do such a thing. At first I thought about postlogin, but the user ended up on a proxy and I can't use it. I tried to use the forwarding function on the proxy and postlogin on the backend, but I didn't succeed in the first part. In pseudo code, I would like to do this: if connection is not secured { if user is in my list { block the connection; } } Thanks in advance for any suggestions, Andrea -- __________________________ People says "more memory increases the computerspeed" and they are right: More memory Windows detects, the sooner it crashes. __________________________ TIM San Marino S.p.A.

mail# doveadm pw Enter new password: Retype new password: {CRYPT}$2y$05$oSB6end9V.YumJMzON7lfeOL9N8TXK6jhYqjHOEnPd1NLZ9.QNaTy I thought the default was supposed to be CRAM-MD5. I don't find anywhere I have entered CRYPT. There is one reference to it in auth-passwdfile.conf.ext, but changing that has no effect. Is this a bug, change, or my mistake?

Pigeonhole v0.5.16 released
by Timo Sirainen 06 Aug '21

06 Aug '21

Hi, Pigeonhole release for Dovecot v2.3.16. https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3-pigeonhole-0.5.16.t… <https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3-pigeonhole-0.5.16.t…> https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3-pigeonhole-0.5.16.t… <https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3-pigeonhole-0.5.16.t…> Binary packages in https://repo.dovecot.org/ <https://repo.dovecot.org/> Docker images in https://hub.docker.com/r/dovecot/dovecot <https://hub.docker.com/r/dovecot/dovecot> * .dovecot.sieve.log file now includes year in the header. * Change Sieve script result execution to delay definitive action execution to the end of a successful Sieve script execution session. This is part of an effort to solve problems with the Sieve duplicate test. As a side-effect, some rare temporary-error cases yield different results, in which partial failure is more likely.
