dsync and sieve again
by Edgaras Lukoševičius 01 Mar '21

01 Mar '21

Hi, I'm starting to wonder if dsync is supposed to sync sieve scripts at all? Or should it work only as a part of replicator? Because I was not able to get it working on multiple Dovecot and Pigeon versions, and I see lots of replication/dsync and sieve related questions in the mailing list. I'm trying to get it to work using latest versions on http://repo.dovecot.org/ce-2.3-latest repo. The versions I am testing at the moment are: - Dovecot 2.3.13 (89f716dc2) - Pigeonhole 0.5.13 (cdd19fe3) It's a straightforward setup, nothing fancy. So the question is - is it supposed to work at all without replicator?

dovecot 2.3.13 (89f716dc2) dovecot-pigeonhole-0.5.13 OS: FreeBSD amd64 12.2-RELEASE After following code ------ require ["copy"]; # rule:[redirect] if true { redirect :copy "mail(a)mail.com"; keep; } ------ (both with keep and without keep) is executed sieve_after seems to not execute at all. Same code together with sieve_after was working as supposed in earlier versions.

doveadm user '*' vs sssd: enumeration works only once
by Heiko Schlittermann 25 Feb '21

25 Feb '21

Hi, I've a quite simple setup using sssd (id_provider, auth_provider: AD), and dovecot. doveadm user * returns the full user list only once. A 2nd invocation of the same command within a small timeframe returns a subset of the local users only (the users I've in /etc/passwd with uid >= first_valid_uid). If I wait until the dovecot/auth worker processes are gone (or if I kill them), I get the full list again. Calling getent passwd repeateadly always returns the full list of users. Question: - [ ] unfortunate configuration (see attachment) - [ ] misbehaviour of sssd (more specifically its nss module) - [ ] misbehaviour of dovecot/auth processes? Dovecot: 2.3.4.1 (f79e8e7e4) Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) Sssd: 1.16.30 Best regards from Dresden/Germany Viele Grüße aus Dresden Heiko Schlittermann -- SCHLITTERMANN.de ---------------------------- internet & unix support - Heiko Schlittermann, Dipl.-Ing.

doveadm copy not respecting quotas?
by MAREN ZUBIZARRETA 24 Feb '21

24 Feb '21

Hello: I have a problema with the quotas at my system with dovecot 2.3.9.2, y use: quota_rule5 = RECUPERADOS_VGTIC:ignore I want to be free of quota limits at that mailbox RECUPERADOS_VGTIC when copying messages from "lazy_expunge" folder To recover from backup I use doveadm copy: doveadm copy -u nppgiibi RECUPERADOS_VGTIC mailbox .BORRADOS_VGTIC/sent-mail ALL But when I do so, quota for this mailbox RECUPERADOS_VGTIC is not ignored, and it grows to 200% Is this a bug? Or there is something that I'm doing wrongly? Thanks for your help. Maren PD: My config file for quotas follows below: /etc/dovecot/conf.d/90-quota.conf # Quota mail_vsize_bg_after_count = 100 # Limits plugin { quota = count:User quota quota_rule = *:storage=10G #for backups and lazy expunge quota_rule3 = .BORRADOS:ignore quota_rule4 = Recuperados_VGTIC:ignore quota_rule5 = RECUPERADOS_VGTIC:ignore quota_rule6 = BORRADOS_VGTIC:ignore quota_rule7 = .BORRADOS_VGTIC:ignore # This is required quota_vsizes = yes } -----Mensaje original----- De: dovecot <dovecot-bounces(a)dovecot.org> En nombre de Aki Tuomi Enviado el: miércoles, 24 de febrero de 2021 8:37 Para: Mark Constable <markc(a)renta.net>; dovecot(a)dovecot.org Asunto: Re: LMDB support? > On 24/02/2021 08:15 Mark Constable <markc(a)renta.net> wrote: > > > Hi all, is there any way I could use LMDB for userdb and passdb lookups?

Problem with fs:User quota: Postfix quota-status returns always DUNNO
by Niccolo Rigacci 23 Feb '21

23 Feb '21

I installed a mail server on a Debian GNU/Linux 10 Buster, which provide Dovecot 2.3.4.1. It works almost everything, but I'm unable to make the Postfix quota service to work as expected. First of all I verify that the Dovecot idea of quota is OK: doveadm quota get -u username(a)example.org Quota name Type Value Limit % User quota STORAGE 2752 3500 78 Then I ask the Postfix quota-status service: printf "recipient=username(a)example.org\nsize=3000000\n\n" \ | nc localhost 12340 action=DUNNO But a size of 3 Mb should trigger the "action=554 5.2.2 Quota exceeded" message. I find a workaround for this problem: just adding the following section will "fix" the problem: plugin { quota_over_flag_value = FALSE quota_over_script = quota-warning mismatch %u } How the quota_over_flag_value is related to the quota over filesystem? Why should I add both the quota_over_flag_value AND the quota_over_script options? The script is executed always for each SMTP check (regardless of the quota_over_flag_value is FALSE or TRUE), obviously I provided a "do nothing" quota-warning script. Here the relevant parts of "dovecot -n" output: plugin { quota = fs:User quota:user quota_grace = 5%% quota_over_flag_value = FALSE quota_over_script = quota-warning mismatch %u quota_status_nouser = DUNNO quota_status_overquota = 554 5.2.2 Quota exceeded quota_status_success = DUNNO quota_warning = storage=90%% quota-warning 90 %u quota_warning2 = storage=80%% quota-warning 80 %u sieve = file:~/sieve;active=~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_before = ~/sieve_before.d/ sieve_extensions = +vnd.dovecot.filter sieve_filter_bin_dir = /usr/local/lib/dovecot/sieve-filter sieve_filter_socket_dir = sieve-filter sieve_plugins = sieve_extprograms } service quota-status { client_limit = 1 executable = quota-status -p postfix inet_listener { port = 12340 } } service quota-warning { executable = script /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh unix_listener quota-warning { group = dovecot mode = 0666 user = dovecot } user = root } -- Niccolo Rigacci - http://www.rigacci.net/ Firenze/Prato - Italy Tel.

Bug renaming folder hierarchies
by Klaus Steinberger 23 Feb '21

23 Feb '21

Hi, we discovered a major problem with renaming folders with subfolders testszenario: folders: test1 test1/test1-1 test1/test1-2 all 3 folders contain a test message after renaming the top level folder test1 to test2 following folders exist: test2 test2/test1-1 test2/test1-2 the subfolders test1-1 and test1-2 are empty, the top level folder contains the correct message. Now renmaing test2 back to test1: Alle folders again contain their messages. So this looks like during renaming the top level folder just the message references for the subfolders got lost, and with renaming back they are there again. I can reproduce this behavior both with thunderbird and Horde Webmail as a client, also it happens with a second different dovecot setup Here is the dovecot config: root@dmz-sv-dovecot ~]# dovecot -n #

Some questions about mail_crypt setups
by deano-dovecot＠areyes.com 22 Feb '21

22 Feb '21

Some questions about mail_crypt setups I have global mail enecryption working nicely, and replication works nicely between two systems. The main problem is that the private and public keys are *right there* on the server in /etc/dovecot/private ... Fine for a completely controlled system, but not so fine when on a rented VPS etc. When are the keys read in by dovecot ? Are they ever read in again while dovecot is running, or does it cache them in ram until dovecot is restarted ? Would it be possible for dovecot to read the keys as output from a script ? I'm thinking of a small script that would reach out to an authentication service like Authy or Okta or similar. Admin gets an alert on their phone, taps OK, UNLOCK and the two keys are returned to the script, which then hands them back to dovecot and away it goes. The mail_crypt config normally contains > mail_crypt_global_private_key = </etc/dovecot/private/dovecot_crypt_privkey > mail_crypt_global_public_key = </etc/dovecot/private/dovecot_crypt_pubkey Perhaps add another variable like > mail_crypt_global_script = </etc/dovecot/private/dovecot_crypt_script That script would run and feed the two keys back into dovecot (no matter how it got to them). So I started looking into per-user/per-folder encryption to see how that would work, and I have that setup nicely too. The config looks like this > # /etc/dovecot/conf.d/99-mailcrypt.conf > #-------------------------------------- > mail_attribute_dict = file:%h/Maildir/dovecot-attributes > plugin { > mail_crypt_require_encrypted_user_key = yes > mail_crypt_save_version = 2 > mail_crypt_curve = secp521r1 > } > > # /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext > #---------------------------------- > # CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `users` ( > # `username` varchar(64) character set utf8 collate utf8_bin NOT NULL COMMENT 'localpart of email-address', > # `domain` varchar(64) character set utf8 collate utf8_bin NOT NULL COMMENT 'domain-part of email-address', > # `name` varchar(64) character set utf8 collate utf8_bin NOT NULL COMMENT 'Full name of user', > # `password` varchar(128) character set utf8 collate utf8_bin NOT NULL COMMENT 'base64-encoded SHA512 hash of password', > # PRIMARY KEY (`username`,`domain`) > # ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COMMENT='users'; > > driver = mysql > connect = host=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock dbname=emailers user=dovecot password=RandomPassword > default_pass_scheme = SHA512-CRYPT > > password_query = SELECT username, password, '%w' AS userdb_mail_crypt_private_password, '/var/mail/%d/%n' AS userdb_home, 'vmail' AS userdb_uid, 'vmail' AS userdb_gid FROM users WHERE username = '%n' AND domain = '%d' > > # For LDA: > user_query = SELECT '/var/mail/%d/%n' AS home, 'vmail' AS uid, 'vmail' AS gid FROM users WHERE username = '%n' AND domain = '%d' > > # For using doveadm -A: > iterate_query = SELECT username, domain FROM users Except that replication doesn't work due to the user password not being available.

doveadm sync different local vs remote account/mailbox name
by Gregory Sloop 22 Feb '21

22 Feb '21

I'm, trying to sync/backup mailboxes from a current dovecot instance to a new server. But the old server has real system accounts. The new server has virtual users. And the account/user-name is different. Example: Joe Sixpack is joes (on the old system) but is joes(a)sixpack.org (on the new system.) I'm using something like this to attempt the sync doveadm -o mail_fsync=never backup -R -u joes(a)sixpack.org imapc: This works from the new system, as it recognizes the user with a full @domain.com username - but the old system doesn't know who joes(a)sixpack.org is - and just wants joes. I don't see a way to specify the remote account username independently from the local one. What's the best way to handle this? TIA -Greg
