About the changing namespace handling from v2.0 to v2.1 or later
by mizuta.takeshi＠fujitsu.com 14 Aug '20

14 Aug '20

Hi, all, Please tell me about the patch and description below. https://github.com/dovecot/core/commit/5f46b863383fc94afcd2693ecae8788cb5fd… example-config: Use a default uncommented "namespace inbox". https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/namespace/ There's a default inbox namespace added in 10-mail.conf. If the configuration doesn't explicitly specify a namespace (as was in v2.0 and older) a default namespace is created automatically. Since v2.1, namespace is enabled by default in 10-mail.conf, and "inbox" is added as a sectionname of namespace. I checked the dovecot's mail archive, but I didn't understand the reason for the change. Please tell me about followings. - Why "inbox" was added as a sectionname? - Why was namespace changed to be enabled by default? Best regards, MIZUTA Takeshi

2.3.11.3 mail_cache_open_or_create_path called with null path
by Stuart Henderson 13 Aug '20

13 Aug '20

Originally reported here - https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-ports&m=159731598419071&w=2 OpenBSD's printf functions have a (mostly annoying but occasionally useful) feature where they generate a syslog entry if printf %s format is called with a null pointer. It is tripped in lmtp/lda deliveries with 2.3.11.3: lmtp: vfprintf %s NULL in "Cache %s: " dovecot-lda: vfprintf %s NULL in "Cache %s: " src/lib-index/mail-cache.c: .. 557 struct mail_cache * 558 mail_cache_open_or_create_path(struct mail_index *index, const char *path) 559 { .. 565 cache->filepath = i_strdup(path); .. 572 event_set_append_log_prefix(cache->event, 573 t_strdup_printf("Cache %s: ", cache->filepath); .. Seems something is wrong to have this function called with no cache path?

Correcting Mail Home, Maildir and Sieve folder locations
by David White 13 Aug '20

13 Aug '20

I have Dovecot 2.3.7.2 on Ubuntu 20.04. I just migrated the server from CentOS 8, and only migrated to the CentOS 8 machine a few months ago off of CentOS 7. I am pasting `doveconf -n` at the bottom of this email. Everything is working. However, I'm trying to clean up warnings in the logs, and just discovered that I'm not managing home directories properly. (c/f https://wiki.dovecot.org/VirtualUsers/Home) This is in the logs: > Jun 28 06:09:50 mail.example.com dovecot: imap(email(a)example.com)<3786><fICEJCKpbfatQHg1>: Error: stat(/var/vmail/example.com/email@example.com/.dovecot.sieve/tmp) failed: Not a directory Can I please get a sanity check? To resolve, I've come up with a bash loop to create a home folder, and fix the existing structure for each mailbox on the system. I ran this for 1 of the domains on the system. > for i in */ ; do mv "$i" mail; mkdir "$i"; mv mail "$i"; mv "$i"/.dovecot* "$i"; done Then, I would simply edit /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf so that it looks like this: > mail_home = /var/vmail/%d/%u > mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%u/mail To confirm, should all of the 'hidden' dovecot files be moved to the user's new home folder like I'm trying to do in the above script? Or are there other files that I will need to move? After running that loop above on a test server (don't worry, I would never do this in production without testing), one of the mailbox's home folder on the server looks like this: > total 56 > drwxr-xr-x 4 vmail vmail 4096 Jun 28 06:19 . > drwx------ 6 vmail vmail 4096 Jun 28 06:09 .. > -rw------- 1 vmail vmail 54 Jul 4 2019 .dovecot.lda-dupes > lrwxrwxrwx 1 vmail vmail 21 May 26 2016 .dovecot.sieve -> sieve/roundcube.sieve > -rw------- 1 vmail vmail 0 Oct 17 2016 .dovecot.sieve.log > -rw------- 1 vmail vmail 218 Jul 6 2019 .dovecot.svbin > drwx------ 277 vmail vmail 32768 Jun 28 06:19 mail > drwx------ 3 vmail vmail 4096 Feb 2 17:31 sieve ... and connecting to that mailbox over Thunderbird seems to be working fine. But I want to make sure I'm not missing anything.

Problems, virtual and alias, Dovecot, Neomutt, OpenSMTPD on OpenBSD
by Chris Bennett 12 Aug '20

12 Aug '20

I'm having some problems. I'm using virtual users with real domains. That is working, but the folders are not showing up properly in neomutt, for both virtual users and system users. When I use K9 on Android, the folders show up correctly. Sending is working, but I don't have auth setup right on OpenSMTPD, so I'm sending locally, not remotely (including from K9, which can't login to send). That's really probably not relevant here, but I thought I'd mention it. I'm a bit embarrassed to admit that after having to move everything off of one server super rapidly to another already working to save money, I realized that I had made some wrong assumptions. Oops but +1 for me. So now I know what to fix there and why. If anyone has a good .neomuttrc or hints, I would appreciate that help. But I can save that problem for the neomutt mailing list. Here are copies of my doveconf -n, dovecot/passwd, vaddr, vdomains and vusers. Obscured of course. Plus the DNS IP's of this server and the one other server, which isn't running dovecot yet. Everything is using maildir on both servers. DNSSEC on all but bennettconstruction.us and mail.bennettconstruction.us Is there anything wrong, missing or screwed up here? I do intend to use encrypted passwds once I get submission to OpenSMTPD working and add the right ports for that. So far, I really haven't found the three different dovecot logs to be particularly helpful, but I can send excerpts of those if helpful. Thanks. I appreciate any help. This is my first go at IMAP and someone sent me some config info a while ago, which really helped a ton. I really like this software, I used it previously a few years ago for POP3. I do find the documentation missing some sample configs with some explanations for why and how. At some point I would like to add some more complicated things, but I don't understand what some config options really do. I also understand that documentation vs. code work are always in conflict. 28 hour days would really help! :-} doveconf -n: # 2.3.10.1 (a3d0e1171): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.5.10 (bf8ef1c2) #

Can't move/delete folder "Renaming not supported across conflicting directory permissions"
by Johannes Rohr 12 Aug '20

12 Aug '20

Dear all, several users have reported that they were unable to move/delete folders using Thunderbird and they got the message "Renaming not supported across conflicting directory permissions". When I google for this message, I see hints like "your mail may not be all on the same volume", but here this is definitely not the case. All mail is in /var/mail/virtual and owned by mail:mail Curiously, when I tried the same operation in Roundcube, there was no error reported, so something about the combination of Thunderbird and Dovecot seems to be causing the error. Does anyone have advise on how I should go about tracking down the cause of the error? Thanks a lot in advance! Johannes

Replication: Mails deleted over POP3 aren't deleted at the same time from the second server
by Lukas 12 Aug '20

12 Aug '20

Hi, I have two Dovecot 2.3.8 (on RHEL 8.2) servers. Replication works great except in one situation. What works: * If one server receives an email, it is immediately available on the other server. * If an email is deleted via IMAP from one server, it is immediately deleted from the other server. What doesn't work: If a user retrieves (download + delete) an email via POP3 (Thunderbird), then the mail is only deleted from the server from which it was downloaded but not from the other server. The email is only deleted from the other server in the following situations: * If a new email arrives (triggers a sync action) * When the next full sync happens (I temporarily set replication_full_sync_interval to "1 hour") * When forcing a manual full sync (doveadm replicator replicate user_name) If I activate debug logging (mail_debug = yes), I can immediately see a replication action when an email is deleted via IMAP. However, when an email is deleted via POP3, nothing is logged (because no replication happens). Does anyone have an idea why deleting an email via POP3 isn't replicated and how to configure this? Thanks for your help.
