Restarting indexing?
by Philip Warner 04 Feb '21

04 Feb '21

Hi, I have about 80GB of mail to index using Dovecot 2.3.4.1 and xapian 1.4.11 FTS. After about 18 hours I had to reboot the server for an unrelated reason (it was perhaps a quarter of the way through indexing). After reboot, the indexing did not restart, and I could find no way to restart it other than via the ‘doveadm index’ command, which I have now done, with the result that the indexing has restarted from scratch. Is there a way to coax it to restart from where it left off, in case I need another reboot? Sent from Mail for Windows 10

Hi all, Checking my dovecot log files, I am seeing a huge flood of the following kind of message over and over. I'm not sure how I can get this to stop. Is there something wrong with my configuration? Regards, Michael dovecot[106888]: lmtp(572901): Warning: Event 0x55ee2285bd30 leaked (parent=(nil)): lmtp-client.c:173: 1 Time(s) dovecot[106888]: lmtp(572901): Warning: Event 0x55ee228774e0 leaked (parent=0x55ee228772d0): mail-storage-service.c:1336: 1 Time(s) dovecot[106888]: lmtp(572901): Warning: Event 0x55ee22877ef0 leaked (parent=0x55ee228711c0): mail-storage-service.c:1336: 1 Time(s) dovecot[106888]: lmtp(572901): Warning: Event 0x55ee2287b3b0 leaked (parent=0x55ee22856e00): smtp-server-transaction.c:58: 1 Time(s) dovecot[106888]: lmtp(572901): Warning: Event 0x55ee2287d5f0 leaked (parent=0x55ee2287db10): smtp-server-recipient.c:38: 1 Time(s) dovecot[106888]: lmtp(572901): Warning: Event 0x55ee2287db10 leaked (parent=0x55ee22856e00): smtp-server-transaction.c:58: 1 Time(s) dovecot[106888]: lmtp(572901): Warning: Event 0x55ee22883700 leaked (parent=0x55ee228877e0): smtp-server-recipient.c:38: 1 Time(s) dovecot[106888]: lmtp(572901): Warning: Event 0x55ee22883910 leaked

Custom quota exeed message
by rudolf＠padaru.de 03 Feb '21

03 Feb '21

Hey there, i need some help with custom quota messages with dovecot and postfix. The quota setup is clear and easy, now i want to manipulate the exceed message, which is generated, if the mailbox is full. Now i got something like that Your message to <user(a)my.server.com> was automatically discarded: Quota exceeded (mailbox for user is full) The first line so i think is generated from postfix and cant be edit or? The second line is generatet from dovecot and i can manipulate there with the quota_exceeded_message variable. My problem is, that the sender cant see the mail-adress where he originally send the mail. Because the user is an local user on my server. I need somethin like that: Your message to <peter.schmidt(a)schmidt.com> was automatically discarded: Quota exceeded (mailbox for user is full) Is there an way to manipulate the first line of answer? Ori s there an way, that i can run a custom script in the quota_exceeded_message var? With the latter variant i would be able to create something like: Your message to <user(a)my.server.com> was automatically discarded: Quota exceeded (mailbox for user <peter.schmidt(a)schmidt.com> is full) But configurations like quota_exceeded_message = script /my/script.sh wont execute the script. Does anybody have an idea? Mit freundlichen Grüßen Yours sincerely Pascal Rudolf

how to dovecot import to folder/, not folder/INBOX
by didar 02 Feb '21

02 Feb '21

Hi, I am trying to import old Gmail mails from a maildir source into dovecot folder. chowm -R vmail:vmail /tmp/batch-1234 doveadm import -u gmail maildir:/tmp/batch-1234 2011 all This works, but it imports the emails into "2011/INBOX" rather just into "2011". Since, the "gmail" user account has maildir storage itself, I rename the "%h/.2011.INBOX" to "%h/.2011" manually and it seems to be working. I am wondering if there is another cleaner way to do it? Maybe import into default INBOX and use "doveadm move" instead?

Obtaining the IMAP GUID from a sieve script
by Ron Garret 02 Feb '21

02 Feb '21

Is there any way to obtain the IMAP GUiD of a message that is being processed by a sieve script? I’m writing a filter that needs to to keep track of message identities as they are moved around between folders. I could add my own id header, but I’d rather not have to reinvent that wheel. Thanks, rg

Dovecot and mutt
by ＠lbutlr 02 Feb '21

02 Feb '21

I have a user who is unable to use mutt to login. I tested and sent a muttrc that worked for me and all he needed to do was put in his username and password. Which failed. After some back and forth, I figured out that his password contains a '$' and a '[' in it, and it seems like one of, or both, of these characters may be the issue. Is that expected? The account and password work properly via iOS and macOS mail, so the issue does't appear to be dovecot, but I find it very odd that mutt would have a glaring issue like this, so I am wondering if there is something else that I need to do. Mutt 2.0.4 (2020-12-30) The configuration looks like this: # Imap settings set imap_user = "user(a)example.com" set imap_pass = "lasH-hds[er$asd" # Not a real password # Smtp settings set smtp_url = "smtps://mail.covisp.net:587" set smtp_pass = "lasHhds[er$asd" # Remote mail folders set folder = "imaps://mail.covisp.net:993" set spoolfile = "+INBOX" set postponed = "+/Drafts" set record = "+/Sent Mail" set trash = "+/Trash" --

Master user password mismatch
by Gregory Sloop 01 Feb '21

01 Feb '21

Trying to get master users working. I'm not sure what info would be best, but here's the detail I have now, in trying to get it working. Setup the master user file, and enabled master users in the conf files. Created the master user file and user/password hash. Turned on authentication debug. When I try something like: telnet localhost 143 and then supply the master user login - kind of like this: 1 login joeb*jb-master somepassword I get this in the logs. (Some obfuscation done.) --- dovecot: auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=24985) dovecot: auth: Debug: client in: AUTH#0111#011PLAIN#011service=imap#011secured#011session=MM6QC9a5SIYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB#011lip=::1#011rip=::1#011lport=143#011rport=34376#011resp=<hidden> dovecot: auth: Debug: passwd-file(jb-master,::1,master,<MM6QC9a5SIYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB>): Master user lookup for login: joeb dovecot: auth: Debug: passwd-file(jb-master,::1,master,<MM6QC9a5SIYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB>): lookup: user=jb-master file=/etc/dovecot/masterusers-test dovecot: auth: passwd-file(jb-master,::1,master,<MM6QC9a5SIYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB>): Password mismatch dovecot: auth: Debug: client passdb out: FAIL#0111#011user=jb-master --- Yet I can use htpasswd -b -c -s /etc/dovecot/masterusers-test jb-master somepassword And this succeeds. (I created the masterusers-test file with httpasswd) So, I must have the password right, but dovecot is till failing the auth, claiming a bad password. How do I go about getting more detail so I can determine what's wrong? TIA -Greg

Dovecot Gmail OAuth2.0 Setting Question
by 福田泰葵 01 Feb '21

01 Feb '21

Dear Sir or Madam Unable to build OAuth2.0 authentication to Gmail using dovecot as proxy. I have a question about how to use dovecot as a proxy to perform OAuth 2.0 authentication to Gmail using a mail client. 1. Is the following all I need to do to authenticate to Gmail using dovecot as a proxy? - passdb passdb { driver = oauth2 mechanisms = oauthbearer xoauth2 args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-oauth2.token.conf.ext } passdb { driver = oauth2 mechanisms = plain login args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-oauth2.plain.conf.ext } - create dovecot-oauth2.token.conf.ext and dovecot-oauth2.plain.conf.ext - create gmail service account api 2. grant_url in dovecot-oauth2.token.conf.ext and dovecot-oauth2.plain.conf.ext is URL for obtaining a Google access token for a web server that I have built myself? 3. I use a Gmail service account, so I don’t need a client ID and secret ID, right? 4. Do I set introspection_url to the URL of my own web server with the access token used for authentication to Google as the response? 5. The documentation says “pass_attrs = host=127.0.0.1”, but if you are authenticating to Gmail, I should use “pass_attrs = proxy=y host=%{if;%s;eq;imap;imap.gmail.com;%{if;%s;eq;pop3;smtp .gmail.com;pop.gmail.com}} port=%{if;%s;eq;imap;993;%{if;%s;eq;pop3;587;465}} proxy_mech=xoauth2 pass=%{oauth2:access_token} user=%{oauth2:email oauth2:email}”? 6. What is the difference between dovecot-oauth2.token.conf.ext and dovecot-oauth2.plain.conf.ext ? Do I need to configure both? I used https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/authentication/oauth2/#proxy as a reference. I would appreciate your reply.
