No source packages in APT repo?
by Shawn Heisey 08 Dec '21

08 Dec '21

I added a deb-src entry to my APT config matching the deb entry: deb https://repo.dovecot.org/ce-2.3-latest/ubuntu/focal focal main deb-src https://repo.dovecot.org/ce-2.3-latest/ubuntu/focal focal main When this is there, I see a warning when running "apt update". W: Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/source/Sources' as repository 'https://repo.dovecot.org/ce-2.3-latest/ubuntu/focal focal InRelease' does not seem to provide it (sources.list entry misspelt?) Were source packages excluded deliberately? The github repo for dovecot does not have a "debian" directory, which is the other route that would allow me to build packages. Thanks, Shawn

Hello, dovecot --version 2.3.17 (e2aa53df5b) debug log: Debug: duplicate db: transaction: Too many duplicate IDs locked Debug: duplicate db: transaction: Check ID: too many IDs locked - .sieve with 100+ redirects ( 201 actually ) #define DUPLICATE_LOCK_MAX_LOCKS 100 It's not corresponding with sieve_max_redirects = 310 or sieve_max_actions = 320 On dovecot 2.3.16 version DUPLICATE_LOCK_MAX_LOCKS is not implemented and redirects work correctly. Thank you. Vladimir Gulas.

app-specific passwords for dovecot
by mj 08 Dec '21

08 Dec '21

Hi all, I have read these documents on the subject of app-specific passwords: > https://www.dgsiegel.net/news/2013_05_21-application_specific_passwords_for… > https://www.happyassassin.net/posts/2014/08/26/adding-application-specific-… But since both articles are rather old, I'd like to ask if there are other/new ways of implementing app-specific passwords for dovecot/imap and postfix/smtp. Also perhaps (web?) GUI's exist, to make it possible for the users themselves to generate/edit those passwords..? Thanks for your suggestions! MJ

vsz_limit
by Daniel Miller 07 Dec '21

07 Dec '21

I just noticed, that when checking "doveconf -a" - all vsz_limit settings that are not explicitly given have a value of: 18446744073709551615 B I have this on two servers, one with an implicit default_vsz_limit=256M, the other with an explicit default_vsz_limit=2G. Is this correct? -- Daniel

I've run dovecot-sysreport -o <core> and generated a file - but it's a few gigs in size. Am I generating the core dump incorrectly? Should I do something different? -- Daniel

LDAP and user duplicated with replication
by Claudio Corvino 07 Dec '21

07 Dec '21

Hi, I have two IMAP/LMTP Dovecot server in replica (version 2.3.4.1), I use LDAP/AD for /userdb, /replica is working. When I do a search like: /doveadm replicator status '*'/ I receive user duplicated, with and without the domain part, for example: /test/ /test(a)domain.com/ but they are the same user; this lead the replicator doing twice the work of replication. I think this is related to //etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf/ that is configured in this way: /hosts = xxx/ /base = dc=xxx,dc=xxx ldap_version=3 auth_bind = yes dn = cn=xxx,cn=Users,dc=xxx,dc=xxx dnpass = xxx scope = subtree user_attrs = sAMAccountName=home=/mnt/mail-storage-lv0007/%$,=uid=501,=gid=501 pass_attrs = sAMAccountName=user user_filter = (&(objectclass=person)(samaccountname=%n)) pass_filter= (&(objectclass=person)(samaccountname=%n)) iterate_attrs = sAMAccountName=user # With following filter we exclude all objects without an email address, all computers and all inactive accounts / /iterate_filter = (&(objectCategory=person)(mail=*)(objectClass=user)(!(userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2))) / I think that *iterate_attrs* and *iterate_filter* should be fixed, but I don't know how/./ Please could someone give me any hints? Thanks/ / Regards/ /

public folders, ACLs
by Stefan G. Weichinger 06 Dec '21

06 Dec '21

greetings ... I got the following request from a customer where we run dovecot-2.3.15 on a debian server: They have a public folder with all their project-related subfolders inside: namespace { location = maildir:/home/vmail/oeffentlich prefix = Oeffentlich/ separator = / subscriptions = yes type = public } So far we don't have the mail_plugin ACL enabled. They want to be able to create projectfolders that aren't move/delete/rename-able by the users, only by some admins. But the users should be allowed to move mails between different projectfolders etc As far as I understand we can do that with Dovecot ACLs (although I am still figuring out how to properly design them ...). My questions: * if I enable the mail_plugin for ACLs, does that in any way change the behavior of existing mailboxes? afai understand: no. Only if ACL-lists exist in the various mailboxes, these get applied, right? I don't want to break things, and I want to avoid additional complexity for the non-public user mailboxes etc Maybe I can enable the plugin only for that public namespace? * maybe someone has a link to a similar setup? thanks in advance, Stefan
