Are these .conf.ext always loaded? Or only when they are configured somewhere else?

I am getting errors addressing environment variables. Are they supposed to work in such sections. Not really clear from this[1] page. service health-check { # example health-check. executable = script -p /bin/health-check.sh inet_listener health-check { port = env:PORT0 } } [1] https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/config_file/config_variables/

Strange index error on NFS after upgrade to CentOS 7 from 6
by Alessio Cecchi 25 Aug '20

25 Aug '20

Hi, I'm running 3 Dovecot director and 6 Dovecot backend on CentOS 6 and Dovecot 2.3.10, with Maildir shared on NFSv3 (on NetApp). Since CentOS 6 will be EOL on November I started to upgrade to CentOS 7 the first Dovecot backend. But after Director start to direct users on new CentOS 7 server some errors, for any users, come up, an example: Aug 21 14:56:41 Error: imap(alessio(a)cecchi.it) session=<11sBlmKtj1qelGW/>: Mailbox INBOX: Broken or unexpectedly changed file /home/vmail/domains/cecchi.it/alessio/Maildir/dovecot-uidlist line 18664: Invalid data: - re-reading from beginning Aug 21 14:56:41 Error: imap(alessio(a)cecchi.it) session=<11sBlmKtj1qelGW/>: Mailbox INBOX: Broken file /home/vmail/domains/cecchi.it/alessio/Maildir/dovecot-uidlist line 18664: Invalid data: Consequently to the error the user see the synchronization of his mailbox again. The Dovecot version and configuration is the same that in CentOS 6, also the mount parameters are the same, so I suspect that could be some difference in the NFS client implementation on CentOS 7. This the entry on fstab: 192.168.1.2:/vmail0 /mnt/vmail0 nfs rw,nfsvers=3,noatime,nodiratime,_netdev,nordirplus 0 0 # Bind for vmail0 /mnt/vmail0/domains /home/vmail/domains none x-systemd.requires=/mnt/vmail0,x-systemd.automount,bind 0 0 In the archive of this list I found a similar issue but without a solutions: https://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2018-October/113207.html Do you have any suggestions?

doveadm/doveconf as user tries and fails to read host key
by jimc 25 Aug '20

25 Aug '20

Distro: OpenSuSE Tumbleweed for x86_64 Failing version: dovecot23-2.3.11.3-1.1.x86_64 Install Date: 2020-08-18 Reverting to previous version works: dovecot23-2.3.10.1-2.3.x86_64 (Packages downgraded coordinately: dovecot23 dovecot23-backend-sqlite) How to make it fail: As the user, execute doveadm expunge mailbox Spam37 savedbefore 3day #User's actual cmd doveadm who #The simplest possible command, for testing It says: doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf line 12: ssl_cert: Can't open file /etc/ssl/hostcerts/hostw.cia: Permission denied The actual EPERM occurs trying to traverse a directory in /etc/letsencrypt, but the next configuration item to be read (in the SSL section) is the host's private key, and the user is surely not ever going to get permission to read that. (I did test giving the user permission to the 750 directory and it did attempt to read the private key, failing.) If you run it as root, of course it works because root has read permission. The initial failure was seen running as the user from cron. Behavior seen in strace: doveadm execs doveconf; doveconf reads the configuration and saves it somewhere (shared memory?); doveconf execs the next program which in this case is doveadm with its original command line; and doveadm now knows its configuration. I can re-do and post the strace if needed. I don't know why doveconf is reading the SSL keys in 2.3.11.3 when it didn't in 2.3.10.1, but if the idea is to read the complete configuration in case it might be needed in obscure situations, a possible workaround is to not die on unreadable secrets and to report those either as unset or as a new "error" symbol, letting the consumer (doveadm) deal with the fallout, or in this case ignore it. Attached: sysreport.gz ; doveconf-n.out Dovecot's working files and user mailboxes are on ext4 filesystems; NFS is not involved. The mail reader is Roundcube webmail. -- James F.
