maildirfolder file created in maildir root during auto-creation with 2.3.4.1 but not 2.2.27
by Christian Balzer 02 Sep '21

02 Sep '21

Hello, as the tin says. I have several servers running 2.2.27 (Debian stretch) and am adding new ones with 2.3.4.1 (Debian buster). The configs were upgraded where needed but neither 10-mail.conf nor 15-mailboxes.conf were changed. 15-mailboxes is all commented out (I guess the default is auto-create, which isn't documented anywhere I could find) and the only non-comments in 10-mail.conf are --- mail_location = maildir:%h mail_privileged_group = mail --- So yes, no namespaces are explicitly defined/declared. The 2.3.4.1 version wrongly creates a maildirfolder file in the home directory (maildir root), preventing exim from correctly creating/using maildirsize. a) Is this expected behavior and can it be changed? b) How can I disable inbox auto-creation if a) doesn't pan out? Thanks, Christian -- Christian Balzer Network/Systems Engineer chibi(a)gol.com Rakuten Mobile Inc.

indexer crash
by Onno Molenkamp 31 Aug '21

31 Aug '21

Hi, Because I was getting segfaults in libc in calloc calls by the indexer process of Dovecot 2.3.16, I ran indexer with valgrind to look for possible memory corruption. It did indeed find that indexer was accessing memory that had already been freed, I've attached the log file. I've then tried running Dovecot with the fix in commit 97367ef61784a364ccf615cb816be6492329050d, but that didn't make any difference. Reverting (just the code in src/indexer) to the last revision before the recent rewrite to use connection.c (d76761698a06bab60a741c6794252fddec4292ef) did: valgrind doesn't log any errors anymore, and indexer has stopped crashing.

Dovecot Director: Preferred backend server
by Steven Varco 31 Aug '21

31 Aug '21

Hi All I have a dovecot cluster with directror and two IMAP Servers behind. Since they are in geographical different locations I would like to have users to go to a specific IMAP backend server (if both are up) and only switch to the other if one goes down (failover). As to my current knowledge the PassDB extra field „host=„ is not suitable in this case as it would never route the client to a different backend, even if the „user specific backend“ would be down. Is their a way in dovecot to achive this? As far as I searched the documentation I could not find any information on this so far. If not, it may also help if I could get certain users to „initially" go to a specific backend (since director usually routes a client/user to the same backend server it initially connects) and therefore it would be interesting to know how dovecot director chooses wether a user goes to server1 or server2? And if a client already gets to server2, how to bring it „back“ to server1? thanks in advance, Steven -- https://steven.varco.ch/ https://www.tech-island.com/

Local auth works with dovecot-proxy, remote does not
by Camilo Sperberg 30 Aug '21

30 Aug '21

Hi list! I've configured dovecot-proxy to redirect users to another server if their data is indeed on that other server. Webmail (which runs on the same machine) works perfectly fine, but clients such as Thunderbird and Outlook do not work as intended, I suspect it to be a problem with the IP that dovecot-proxy sees, but I can't figure out what is wrong: I've already done a lot of Googling and also tried to change the login_trusted_networks value, but to no avail. I've enabled debug log and here is the relevant part of a call that fails and another one that succeeds (FYI 10.164.0.3 is the machine that is doing the proxying and where webmail is located, 10.164.0.20 is the 'node', these logs come from that node, doveconf -n is also provided in the gist): https://gist.github.com/unreal4u/64de0f05b6e3b98034cdb0ae52ce1196 So as far as I can interpret the logs, in the failure case it is basically saying it should go to the node, despite it already being on that node: Aug 24 11:29:07 mail-node-2 dovecot: auth: Debug: client passdb out: OK#0112#011user=me(a)XXXXXX.XX #011host=10.164.0.20#011port=143#011proxy#011pass=<hidden> In the success case, I don't see any mention of a proxy: Aug 24 11:35:21 mail-node-2 dovecot: auth: Debug: client passdb out: OK#0116#011user=me(a)XXXXXXXXX.XX What am I missing here? Has this something to do with authentication-allow-nets or authentication-allow-real-nets ? If so: where to define it? Is there something else I'm missing? Thanks in advance for your help, Camilo Sperberg

%{cert} variable
by Andrea Gabellini 27 Aug '21

27 Aug '21

Hello, I am using Dovecot version 2.3.16. I'm experimenting with client certificates and the "ssl_verify_client_cert = yes" option. By putting the server in debug mode, I can verify that the client is correctly providing the certificate. I am trying to log using %{cert} adding it to login_log_format_elements, as per the documentation, but I get the error: "Failed to expand log_format_elements=cert=%{cert}: Unknown variable '%cert'" Also the documentation says that the short name is %k, but it overlaps with %{ssl_security}. Is the documentation wrong or is there a bug?
