imapc settings for specific mailbox / namespaces
by Tobia Grosselle [ Terralink ] 17 Feb '21

17 Feb '21

Hello, Is it possible to use imapc for specific mailbox or namespace? Something like this: namespace Test { list = no type = private inbox = no hidden=no prefix = TEST/ separator = / location = imapc: imapc_host = imap.example.com imapc_password = secret imapc_port = 143 imapc_user = user(a)example.com } or is only intended for general use as general proxy in the global configuration?

Logfile flooding with lookup failure for root user using pam
by Michael Ruiz 16 Feb '21

16 Feb '21

Hi all, I am getting the error where root is constantly being lookedup over imap I am guessing. I am pretty sure services like fail2ban and logwatch are setup to send from another user instead of root @ localhost so I think this may be an imap issue. I tried adding root to /etc/dovecot/deny-users , but this error still persists. I know imap as root is a big security issue and is disabled, but I cannot pinpoint how or why this is happening so often. I am using PAM and passwd for authentication and authorization. How can I prevent root user from being looked up in the first place ? Regards, Michael dovecot[606167]: lmtp(606199): Error: lmtp-server: conn unix:pid=606196,uid=73 [2]: rcpt root@<domain>: Failed to lookup user root@<domain>: Invalid settings in userdb: userdb returned 0 as uid replaced my domain name with <domain> in this example.

quota_max_mail_size and dsync
by Edgaras Lukoševičius 15 Feb '21

15 Feb '21

Hello, as we have enabled quota_max_mail_size, dsync is now having problems moving oversized emails between servers. Is there a way to configure dovecot (dsync) to allow syncing of emails larger than quota_max_mail_size but keep limiting clients over imap/pop/lmtp? The error logged is: dsync(local(a)domain.tld): Info: imapc(remote.imap.host.tld): Connected to II.III.III.II:PPP (local II.III.III.II:PPPPP) dsync(local(a)domain.tld): Warning: Failed to copy source UID=24 mail: Mail size is larger than the maximum size allowed by server configuration - falling back to regular saving dsync(local(a)domain.tld): Error: Mailbox INBOX.Sent: Saving failed: Mail size is larger than the maximum size allowed by server configuration

Mail.app namespaces
by Dan Mahoney (Gushi) 15 Feb '21

15 Feb '21

All, Dovecot 2.3.13 under Freebsd 11.3, installed via pkg. I had a question related to dovecot and OSX mail.app. My primary mailer is "alpine". Sometimes I need to see a message in a graphical app so I occasionally turn to mail.app. I keep a lot of old mail. Mail.app on recent macos versions insist on downloading *everything* for easier searching and indexing. Most of which I don't need. (20G of mail over the last 20+ years, plus a bunch of mailing lists I keep archived, but only read when I need to search them). ios mail doesn't do this. Subscriptions don't work (in mail.app, subscriptions are only for public/shared folders). Ergo, is there a server-side way to make just one client not able to see/list/download ALL folders? Perhaps by presenting them as subscription folders, or perhaps by hiding them in the namespace. I'm not unwilling to configure an alternate namespace for myself. (It's helps that I'm the sysadmin here). Ideally, this would be a thing I could only set for my account -- match on a user-agent/username string of some sort? (My other option has been "create a different username and forward to myself there", but this feels like it should be solvable). -Dan My doveconf follows: # 2.3.13 (89f716dc2): /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: FreeBSD 11.4-RELEASE-p3 amd64 # Hostname: prime.gushi.org disable_plaintext_auth = no mail_full_filesystem_access = yes mail_location = mbox:%h/mail:INBOX=%h/.mail:INDEX=/var/db/indexes/%u namespace { alias_for = hidden = yes list = no location = prefix = mail/ separator = / } namespace { alias_for = hidden = no list = yes location = prefix = ~/mail/ separator = / subscriptions = yes } namespace { alias_for = hidden = yes list = no location = prefix = ~%u/mail/ separator = / } namespace { hidden = no list = yes location = mbox:~%u/.incoming/ prefix = Inbounds/ separator = / } namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = prefix = separator = / } passdb { driver = pam } plugin { mail_log_events = delete undelete expunge copy mailbox_delete mailbox_rename mail_log_fields = uid box msgid size } service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 143 } inet_listener imap_other { port = 1143 } inet_listener imaps { port = 993 ssl = yes } inet_listener imaps_other { port = 1993 ssl = yes } } service pop3-login { inet_listener pop3 { port = 110 } inet_listener pop3_other { port = 1110 } inet_listener pop3s { port = 995 ssl = yes } inet_listener pop3s_other { port = 1995 ssl = yes } } ssl_cert = </etc/mail/certs/prime.gushi.org.certkey ssl_dh = # hidden, use -P to show it ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it userdb { driver = passwd } -- --------Dan Mahoney-------- Techie, Sysadmin, WebGeek Gushi on efnet/undernet IRC FB: fb.com/DanielMahoneyIV LI: linkedin.com/in/gushi Site: http://www.gushi.org ---------------------------

Hello, I am trying to deal properly with email attachements in fts-xapian plugins. I tried the default script with a PDF file.

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 11 Feb '21

11 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

Re: SQL-AUTH driver replace for VPOPMAIL-AUTH

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?
