encrypted storage on the fly using user's password without storing password on the server
by Alex Knowles 05 Mar '20

05 Mar '20

Hi all, I just joined the list. I've read through the mail-crypt plugin docs here https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/mail_crypt_plugin/ I'm still unclear (I'm not an expert) about the following: Is it possible to obtain on-the-fly encrypted storage using the user's password without the password being stored on the server? Basically a zero-knowledge solution. Theoretically this should be possible as the user provides the password when storing or retrieving emails. The above plugin docs don't make it clear for me whether it is supported. Could a kind clarify? I'd also be very grateful for a working conf as an example. Best wishes and thanks in advance, Alex.

[PATCH] lib-imap: imap-bodystructure: add test with empty header field

This causes the body structure to be incorrect. The RFC says it's fine o have empty header field values. --- This just adds a failing test, inspired from an e-mail spotted in the wild.

Dovecot autoexpunge
by Philip Colmer 03 Mar '20

03 Mar '20

Following a previous suggestion I'd received to turn on autoexpunge (https://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2020-February/118281.html) I'm now trying to confirm whether or not it is doing what I expect it to do. I've set the expiration to be 12 weeks (as shown below in the config) but a lot of the mailboxes have email in them that is much older. Reading http://dovecot.2317879.n4.nabble.com/Dovecot-2-2-20-autoexpunge-td54644.html, I've tried using "doveadm search -u user mailbox INBOX savedbefore 2w" to see if it finds any email that is older than 2 weeks (just as a test) and it doesn't. If I change "savedbefore" to be "sentbefore" then it works. If "autoexpunge" is dependent on "savedbefore" working then what do I need to do to fix this? Thanks.

dovecot-lmtp dont see otherMailbox record?
by pi0trek75 01 Mar '20

01 Mar '20

Hello Postfix + LDAP , Samba as LDAP server, Dovecot virtual_transport set in postfix to dovecot-lmtp ( for autoresponder support ) Users have their email aliases in the otherMailbox record For example, account_test@example-domain user has an alias: test@exmaple-domain Query from command line works fine: postmap -q test@example-domain ldap://etc/postfix/ad_virtual_ account_test/Maildir/ (The filter in the query ad_virtual_mailbox_maps2.cf looks like this: [cut] scope = sub query_filter = (&(objectclass=person)(|(mail= result_attribute= uid result_format = %u/Maildir/ ) However, sending an email to the alias test@example-domain ends: Feb 28 12:31:40 mbox-01 postfix/lmtp[13474]: 2367A6EF: to=<test@example-domain>, relay=mbox-01[private/dovecot- delay=0.05, delays=0.02/0/0.02, dsn=5.1.1, status=bounced (host mbox-01[private/dovecot-lmtp] said: 550 5.1.1 <test@example-domain> User doesn't exist: test@example-domain (in reply to RCPT TO command)) I modified dovecot-ldap.conf.ext: I changed: user_filter = (&(objectClass=person)(uid=%u) to: user_filter = (&(objectClass=person)(|(uid=% but that didn't solve the problem.

max number of connections per ip
by Esteban L 29 Feb '20

29 Feb '20

I have been haunted by the following error message or months, that we see using Thunderbird. Unable to connect to your IMAP server. You may have exceeded the maximum number of connections to this server. If so, use the Advanced IMAP Server Settings dialogue to reduce the number of cached connections. If I change my location, via a VPN, the error message goes away and I can connect. I have edited my /etc/dovcot/conf.d/20-imap.conf file by adding the following: protocol imap { # Space separated list of plugins to load (default is global mail_plugins). mail_plugins = $mail_plugins imap_quota # Maximum number of IMAP connections allowed for a user from each IP address. # NOTE: The username is compared case-sensitively. mail_max_userip_connections = 500 } And, I still get the error message. I know myself, I have about 8-9 accounts, some with as many as 10 folders (I know each one count's as it's own mailbox), as does my partner--who would access the internet from my IP. Does that number really have to be like 10,000, or something? If so, why does it start out so small in the first place. If not, what else could I do to avoid this message going forward??

doveadm acl recursive
by Armin Schindler 28 Feb '20

28 Feb '20

Hello, I try to set acl settings on a public folder including its subfolders. There is no option for acting recursive. But the documentation says wildcards can be given on the mailbox name. But this doesn't work. No matter how the mailbox name is provided with a wildcard, doveadm always tells Mailbox doesn't exist. Folder example: public/project1 public/project1/subdir1 public/project1/subdir2 public/project1/subdir2/subsubdir3 Setting acl on the given mailbox works for all of them. But how can I set for "public/project1" and all its subfolders in one command? Even "doveadm mailbox list" gives the error above when using wildcard. (I also tried all combinations of quotes). Armin

dovecot 2 samba ad-dc

Helo you, I try to build a mail server based on Centos 7, postfix and dovecot 2. My backend is a Samba4 ad-dc. I tried a lot and I don't know what else I could try.I'm new to this mailing list so please forgive me if I don't give right information or anything Samba4 ad-dc is up incl. dns. Win10 Client joined domain and authentication works. Postfix is up and checks against ldap whether recipient address exists. It takes mail via telnet and queues them.

dovecot-uidlist....
by Chi Min Wang 27 Feb '20

27 Feb '20

Hello Everyone: Is it possible to direct dovecot to modify dovecot-uidlist automatically?? I have some user who use ancient MUA(i.e. Openwebmail) and IMAP/POP3. Since Openwebmail will insert "Status: R" in the eml file,the size of the eml file will increase by 10 bytes. If the user use Openwebmail first,then the size record(S=xxxx) in dovecot-uidlist will be fine. But if he use POP3/IMAP(dovecot) first then use Openwebmail,the size record in dovecot-uidlist will not match the actual size modified by Openwebmail. This will cause dovecot killed by core dump. I'm wondering if there are any method to avoid this situation,Thanks!! *********************************************** CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE:This e-mail and any attachments are confidential and may be legally privileged.

Matching regexps
by Adam Shostack 26 Feb '20

26 Feb '20

Hi, I'm having some trouble with matching. The regexp in my dovecot.sieve file should match on email addresses, but does not. # The code: if header :matches "From" "<[a-z0-9-]*(a)[a-z0-9-.]*>" { set "sender" "${1}"; } if not execute "grepfrom" ["${sender}"] { if envelope :matches "from" "*" { set "sender" "${1}"; } This failes to match Tamara Denning <tdenning(a)cs.utah.edu> when I check that regexp against that string at regex101.com, it shows a match, but the log (from sieve-test) shows: 348: header test 348: starting `:matches' match with `i;ascii-casemap' comparator: 348: extracting `From' headers from message 348: matching value `Tamara Denning <tdenning(a)cs.utah.edu>' 348: with key `.*<[a-z0-9-]*(a)[a-z0-9-.]*>' => 0 348: finishing match with result: not matched I would appreciate advice on why the match is failing, or what I can change to make it match. Thank you! Adam
