doveadm expunge logging
by Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz 11 Feb '21

11 Feb '21

Hello. dovecot 2.3.13 here, using doveadm -c /etc/my.conf expunge -A mailbox SomeFolder savedbefore 31d and my.conf includes plugin { mail_log_events = delete undelete expunge copy mailbox_delete mailbox_rename save } unfortunately expunged messages are not logged anywhere. Tried -v and -D to see if these will get logged to output (so I could pipe these to syslog) but verbose/debug also don't show which messages were expunged. Is there a way to get this logged? Log like regular dovecot logs would be nice: doveadm(arekm): pid=<14783>, expunge: box=INBOX, uid=0, msgid=<E1l2ZJp-0002NM-Vv(a)example.com>, size=15077 -- Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz, arekm / ( maven.pl | pld-linux.org )

SQL-AUTH driver replace for VPOPMAIL-AUTH
by Pablo Murillo 10 Feb '21

10 Feb '21

Hi I'm made a lot of test trying to get SLQ auth driver work with vpopmail/mysql configured with many domains (one table for each domain) Finally I made it work, but ... only with PLAIN password Is there a way to make SQL auth work with vpopmail/mysql tables with encrypted password (CRAM-MD5 / MD5-CRYPT) ? Thanks Pablo Murillo -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com

It seems like it would be possible to use a view table (with a union query) to "make" the many domain style table out of the tables by domain. You wouldn't want to do that if you were adding domains often... but it should make the dovecot auth for many domains work on top of the old tables instantly.Sent from my T-Mobile 4G LTE device------ Original message------From: Eric BrochDate: Wed, Feb 10, 2021 2:58 PMTo: dovecot(a)dovecot.org;Cc: Subject:Re: SQL-AUTH driver replace for VPOPMAIL-AUTHPablo, Can you share your dovecot-sql.conf.ext file for 'one table for each domain'.

Problem enabling the mail_log plugin
by Mike Quigley 09 Feb '21

09 Feb '21

I need to track some issues with deleted messages so I have been trying to set up the mail_log plugin. I have Dovecot v2..27 running on Debian 9. I have configured /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-logging.conf, 20-imap.conf, and 20-lmtp.conf and restarted dovecot, but I see so difference in /var/log/mail.info & /var/log/syslog when I delete a message from my Inbox in Roundcube. Here is the abbreviated output from doveconf -n: # 2.2.27 (): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.4.16 () # OS: Linux 4.9.0-14-amd64 x86_64 Debian 9.13 ext4 plugin { mail_log_events = delete undelete mailbox_delete mailbox_rename mail_log_fields = uid box msgid size sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_after = /etc/dovecot/sieve-after sieve_dir = ~/sieve } protocols = " imap lmtp sieve pop3" protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = " sieve notify mail_log" } protocol imap { mail_max_userip_connections = 50 mail_plugins = " notify mail_log" } What am I missing?

stat writer error
by Jeff Abrahamson 07 Feb '21

07 Feb '21

On postfix/pipe lines in my log, I see this error: Error: net_connect_unix(/var/run/dovecot/stats-writer) failed: Permission )) even though I also set [T] jeff@nantes-m1:postfix $ ll /var/run/dovecot/*stat* srw------- 1 root root 0 Feb 4 14:55 /var/run/dovecot/old-stats prw------- 1 root root 0 Feb 4 14:55 /var/run/dovecot/old-stats-mail prw------- 1 root root 0 Feb 4 14:55 /var/run/dovecot/old-stats-user srw-rw---- 1 dovecot dovecot 0 Feb 4 14:55 /var/run/dovecot/stats-reader srw-rw---- 1 dovecot dovecot 0 Feb 4 14:55 /var/run/dovecot/stats-writer [T] jeff@nantes-m1:postfix $ I've not found documentation on what should be happening there or what the right config is, though I did find some suggestions that 0660 and dovecot:dovecot is right. (I've also not understood why I care, except I don't like to see regular errors in my logs if I can avoid it.) Any pointers? Thanks. -- Jeff Abrahamson +33 6 24 40 01 57 +44 7920 594 255 http://p27.eu/jeff/ http://mobilitains.fr/

I'm unable to get Claws-Mail to work with SSL/993 with a passphrased selfsigned cert
by Steve Litt 05 Feb '21

05 Feb '21

Hi all, First, thanks to everyone on Freenode #dovecot who helped me with my extreme problems a couple days ago. I once again have Claws-Mail able to connect to my SSL/993 only Dovecot IMAP, after making my own cert and a few other things. Here's the deal though. When I try to use an rsa:4096 cert with a passphrase for dovecot, Claws-Mail cannot connect, even though I put the cert's passphrase in Claws-Mail's passphrase field right below the field for the cert's location/filename. It tells me it can't import the p12 cert. This happens whether I put in the location of the public cert, or the private one. What do I need to do to get Claws-Mail and Dovecot to work together with a passphrased cert? Naturally, this could be a deficency in Claws-Mail, and I've written a similar email to the Claws-Mail group, but either way I'd like to get this solved so I'm not using a no-password cert. By the way, when I do: openssl s_client -connect 192.168.0.2:993 \ -cert/etc/ssl/dovecot_certs/private/dovecot.pem openssl asks me for the passphrase and upon receiving it gives me the information. This does not happen if I give it the location of the public key. Thanks, SteveT Steve Litt Autumn 2020 featured book: Thriving in Tough Times http://www.troubleshooters.com/thrive

Service unavailable, lots of idle dovecot-login processes
by Wolfgang 05 Feb '21

05 Feb '21

Hi, Web search turned no results to this problem: We have a small site running private e-mail for maybe 12 people, dovecot is used by Postfix-SASL and IMAP clients. PROBLEM: When starting dovecot, after a few hours, IMAP clients are no longer able to connect. Thunderbird indicates that connection is refused. On the server, we see 100 dovecot/imap-login processes. This is the process limit. If we increase the process limit to 200, same thing, we survive a few hours longer but eventually we're seeing 200 imap-login processes and rejected connections. When listing TCP connections via lsof, there are only around 30 connections open to IMAP and we have exactly the same amount of dovecot/imap processes. These connections are held by 30 dovecot/imap-login processes. The other 70 dovecot/imap-login processes seem to do nothing. They're all sitting in "epoll_wait(14," according to strace but don't have TCP connections open. The only way out of this that we have found is re-starting dovecot every few hours. BTW, service_count = 1 for improved security. Dovecot Version: 2.3.4.1 (f79e8e7e4) Interestingly we were using nearly the same config on our old server with 2.2.13 and did not see this issue. Any ideas how to solve that properly? Thank you, Wolfgang

BUG report: dbox movealt doesn't move reverse (to default location)
by Vitalii 05 Feb '21

Hi, Here is the problem that occured: #sudo doveadm -D altmove -u vv(a)vito.pp.ua all works properly and moves all storage to alt dir. However, to move it back to default storage I add '-r' by manual: #sudo doveadm -D altmove -u vv(a)vito.pp.ua -r all That seems behave like the original command ignoring '-r'. my dovecot conf: # 2.3.4.1 (f79e8e7e4): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.5.4 () # OS: Linux 4.19.0-9-amd64 x86_64 Debian 10.4 # Hostname: qemu7.internetguru.ca auth_mechanisms = plain login disable_plaintext_auth = no imapc_features = rfc822.size fetch-headers imapc_host = imap.gmail.com imapc_port = 993 imapc_ssl = imaps imapc_user = %u listen = *,[::] log_timestamp = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S " mail_attachment_dir = /wd640/mdbox-att/%d/%n mail_max_userip_connections = 100 mail_prefetch_count = 20 mail_privileged_group = vmail passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf driver = sql } plugin { quota = dict:user::file:/var/vmail/%d/%n/.quotausage sieve = /var/vmail/%d/%n/.sieve sieve_max_redirects = 25 } protocols = imap pop3 service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-userdb { group = vmail mode = 0600 user = vmail } user = root } service imap-login { client_limit = 1000 process_limit = 512 } service lmtp { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { group = postfix mode = 0600 user = postfix } } service stats { unix_listener stats-reader { group = vmail mode = 0660 user = vmail } unix_listener stats-writer { group = vmail mode = 0660 user = vmail } } ssl_cert = </etc/postfix/smtpd.cert ssl_client_ca_dir = /etc/ssl/certs ssl_dh = # hidden, use -P to show it ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it userdb { driver = prefetch } userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf driver = sql } protocol imap { mail_plugins = quota imap_quota } protocol pop3 { mail_plugins = quota pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv } protocol lda { mail_plugins = sieve quota postmaster_address = postmaster(a)some.ca } protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = quota sieve postmaster_address = postmaster(a)some.ca } I am using debian 10.
