managesieve user
by André Rodier 28 Mar '20

28 Mar '20

Hello, I am updating dovecot, from Debian Stretch to Buster, and I have an issue with the managesieve service: > Mar 28 15:05:06 mail dovecot[2637]: managesieve-login: Error: auth: > connect(login) in directory / failed: Permission denied > (euid=120(<getpwuid() error>) egid=128(<getgrgid() error>) missing +x > perm: /, we're not in group 127, dir owned by 0:127 mode=0770) > Mar 28 15:05:06 mail dovecot[2637]: managesieve-login: Error: auth: > connect(login) in directory / failed: Permission denied > (euid=120(<unknown>) egid=128(<unknown>) missing +x perm: /, we're > not in group 127, dir owned by 0:127 mode=0770) The two folders I found with these permissions are /run/dovecot/login and /run/dovecot/token-login. Both folders belongs to root:dovecot If I change the permissions of the following folders, like this: chmod 0775 /run/dovecot/login chmod 0775 /run/dovecot/token-login Then, dovecot managesieve is working, but this is just a test, I suppose the service should run with a specific user? Do you have any idea on what is wrong here? If I restart dovecot, I have an error message that states the permissions are wrong, and they are set again to 0770 Thanks, André Rodier

Forward a copy
by ＠lbutlr 28 Mar '20

28 Mar '20

<https://wiki.dovecot.org/Pigeonhole/Sieve/Examples> has this example: if header :contains "subject" ["order", "buy"] { redirect "orders(a)company.xn--dom-9o0a; } Can I simply add fileinto :create “mailbox”; before that redirect line so that a COPY of the message is forwarded? And does redirect imply stop, since I don;’t see stop in the example. -- They say only the good die young. If it works the other way too I'm immortal

Deliver log with "msgid=?" when email come from Exchange/Office 365
by Alessio Cecchi 27 Mar '20

27 Mar '20

Hi, I noticed that all emails that come from Exchange/Office 365 have the message-id, in deliver log, reported as msgid=? <DBBPRDD0(a)DBBPR023.eurprd08.prod.outlook.com> instead of expected msgid=<DBBPRDD0(a)DBBPR023.eurprd08.prod.outlook.com> My deliver_log format is: deliver_log_format = deliverytime=%{delivery_time}, msgid=%m, sender=%e, from=%f, subject="%s": %$ The behaviour is the same on Dovecot 2.2 and 2.3, and only dovecot have the "?", we have a mail filter before dovecot and the message-id is registred fine, without the ? in front. Is an issue of my setup or a bug in dovecot? Thanks -- Alessio Cecchi Postmaster @ http://www.qboxmail.it https://www.linkedin.com/in/alessice

Understanding doveadm rebuild
by Patrick Ben Koetter 26 Mar '20

26 Mar '20

Greetings, I'm trying to understand if the doveadm rebuild command is suited to fix a problem we have on a customers platform. The customer uses sdbox in combination with SIS and for $REASONS dovecot cannot find the attachements anymore. They are there, but the references to them in the messages seem to be wrong. Is that what the rebuild subcommand has been made for? Will it e.g. scan the messages for attachment references and try to find them in the SIS storage location and then fix the references in messages?

At rest encryption (with protected crypto keys)
by Kees de Jong 25 Mar '20

25 Mar '20

Hi, As stated on the Dovecot documentation, at rest encryption is possible [1]. However, these keys are present on the system itself and are unprotected. Therefore, if a system is compromised, the attacker has access to the encrypted mail and the keys. There is no security benefit in that situation, except for hoping that the attacker doesn't understand that this is happening and how. Nextcloud does this a bit better. A key is used to encrypt user data as well [2]. However, that key is protected with the user's password. When the user logs in and requests data, the user's password unlocks the key and data can be read and written safely. This also takes into account password changes. Files don't need to be encrypted again, the encryption key is simply re-encrypted with the new user's password. How does the Dovecot community see this? Is at rest encryption needed in times of increased security and privacy problems? I think it is a must, just like 2FA, but that's a different story. I think the current possibility of at rest encryption is not well applied enough. Is this something that's on the agenda to improve? Or am I missing something? Is there a better way of doing this?

dovecot-2.2.36-4 and antispam
by Maciej Milaszewski 24 Mar '20

24 Mar '20

Hi I use dovecot-2.2.36.4 on Debian 8.11 and plugin dovecot-antispam from http://johannes.sipsolutions.net/Projects/dovecot-antispam All works fine but in roundcube i get two folder: Spam (real: Junk) and SPAM in sieve i have: require ["fileinto","imap4flags"]; # rule:[SPAM Box] if header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" "YES" { setflag "\\Seen"; fileinto "SPAM"; # ---> because dovecot-antispam need folder SPAM to teach spam or ham stop; } problem probably fixed when I change fileinto "SPAM"; to fileinto "Junk"; But plugin "dovecot-antispam" probably not working ...

imapc quota support
by Сергей Петренко 24 Mar '20

24 Mar '20

Hi, I use Dovecot 2.3.9.2 as IMAP proxy for other mail server and configure it with imapc_host/imapc_port/imapc_user options. All works fine exclude quota information. Although my IMAP server supported quota Dovecot does not relay it to users. As I read in docs/MailboxFormat.imapc.txt in Dovecot v2.2.30+ there is a way to relay quota data to end users: Quota ----- Using the "imapc" quota backend allows asking for the quota from remote IMAP server (v2.2.30+). By default it uses GETQUOTAROOT INBOX for getting the quota. There are also two parameters that can be used to control how the quota is looked up: * box=<mailbox>: Use GETQUOTAROOT <mailbox> * root=<name>: Use GETQUOTA <name> For example: ---%<------------------------------------------------------------------------- plugin { quota = imapc:root=User Quota } ---%<------------------------------------------------------------------------- The above example is not clear. Please advise how to configure Dovecot in IMAP proxy mode with quota support.
