by André Rodier 05 Jan '20

05 Jan '20

Hello, I have a post-login script, in Dovecot, that send warnings to users using XMPP. However, I would like hthe warning to include the protocol used, i.e. IMAP or POP3. How can I do this, please? Thanks, André.

However, on all mailserver which I manage, a significant portion of total emails are messages sent to groups/lists rather than single recipient. Cyrus and other proprietary mailservers (eg: CommuniGate Pro) use unix shared storage (aka hardlink) to avoid copying the message to multiple inboxes. This is especially valuable when a) large groups exists or b) a large message is sent to groups/lists. Please also note that, when not using Pigeonhole, Dovecot *does* use hardlink for messages sent to multiple recipients and/or groups. It is only when Pigeonhole is active that the hardlinking does not happen.

Dovecot, pigeonhole and hardlinks
by Gionatan Danti 03 Jan '20

03 Jan '20

Hi list, many moons ago I asked about preserving hardlink between identical messages when pigeonhole (for sieve filtering) was used. The reply was that, while hardlink worked well for non-filtered messages, using pigeonhole broke the hardlink (ie: some message-specific data was appended to the actual mail file). Here you can find the original thread: https://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2015-November/102579.html I would ask the same things today: is dovecot+pigeonhole capable of storing the same incoming message, sent to multiple rcpt or to a group/alias expanding in multiple recipients, as a single hardlink? Note: I know about SIS, but it has some important drawback and I would avoid using it. Thanks. -- Danti Gionatan Supporto Tecnico Assyoma S.r.l. - www.assyoma.it email: g.danti(a)assyoma.it - info(a)assyoma.it GPG public key ID: FF5F32A8

Unable to authenticate on Dovecot - auth-userdb issue?
by Mark ADAMS 03 Jan '20

Some general information: Mageia Linux 5.4.6-desktop-2.mga7 2.3.7.2 (3c910f64b) postfix + dovecot + mysql 192.168.1.105 (shuttle) the email server machine 192.168.1.103 (pvr) the mail client machine I am unable to authenticate to send email.

iOS Client Not Showing Email Previews, Dovecot Issue?
by asai＠globalchangemusic.org 02 Jan '20

02 Jan '20

Greetings, Just wondering if anybody would know why one of our users' iOS Mail app client doesn't show the email previews (the first few sentences of the email)? We had migrated from an earlier (2.2.4) version of Dovecot to the latest version and once that was done, the user began to report this issue. I don't know if it's a Dovecot issue or not, but can anyone point me in the right direction to begin to debug? Thank you, Asai

spamsieve question
by Gerben Wierda 31 Dec '19

31 Dec '19

My new dovecot covers spam/ham training through the standard Spam_train and Notspam_train mailboxes. When a message is copied (I’m using macOS/iOS standard Apple clients) it triggers the spam/ham learning by rspamd. So far so good. When I move a message to Spam_train I’d like it to be removed immediately after learning. When I move a message to Notspam_train, I’d like it to move back where it came from after having been piped The first is I think doable, but how? Is the second doable?

Problem with big number of pop3-login [1 pre-login]
by Григорий Семенов 30 Dec '19

30 Dec '19

Dear all, I have recently migrated from my old Debian 8 (jessie) system to a new VM with fresh Debian 10 (buster) installation. Previous dovecot version was 2.2.13 and now I have 2.3.4.1. Dovecot was setup from Debian packages. Mostly, it is working, but one problem is just frustrating me. The number of some pop3-login processes are getting higher and higher until they reach my login_max_processes_count option which is equal 1000. From ps aux it looks like this: dovecot 55067 0.0 0.0 8192 6340 ? S 00:09 0:00 dovecot/pop3-login [1 pre-login] dovecot 55344 0.0 0.0 8192 6388 ? S 00:35 0:00 dovecot/pop3-login [1 pre-login] dovecot 55351 0.0 0.0 8192 6268 ? S 00:35 0:00 dovecot/pop3-login [1 pre-login] dovecot 55354 0.0 0.0 8192 6388 ? S 00:35 0:00 dovecot/pop3-login [1 pre-login] dovecot 55594 0.0 0.0 8192 6280 ? S 00:36 0:00 dovecot/pop3-login [1 pre-login] dovecot 56822 0.0 0.0 8192 6300 ? S 00:36 0:00 dovecot/pop3-login [1 pre-login] dovecot 56996 0.0 0.0 8192 6268 ? S 00:36 0:00 dovecot/pop3-login [1 pre-login] … Once it reaches the login_max_processes_count value my users start to complain to no new mail is arriving. Restart resolves the problem just for some time, until it will come to a limit next time (sometimes it take 1 day, sometimes 1 hour). In my old system I had nothing like that, but I guess it could be done something wrong during migration. I don’t know if it is significant but instead of real users I deal with only one third-party application which utilizeses 5 simultaneous tcp connections to check mailboxes via SSL\TLS. My dovecot is not public, and there is nothing else besides these 5 connections. Currently, in a config I have this: service pop3-login { process_min_avail = 4 process_limit = 4 client_limit = 100 service_count = 100 Please friends give me a way how to handle the situation. Might it be a bug? ========= Regards, Greg Semenov

Hi Marc, I can see the processes are running as a root in container environment. Do you think that still have issues ?

Hello, We need help with an issue that we are running into when we are trying to run Dovecot in Docker container. Also how do we enable debugging for dovecot. Logs doesn't show any info about the issue. Below processes are not running when a Director service is started: dovecot-Dovecot/auth dovecot-Dovecot/ssl-params dovecot-Director/lmtp dovecot-Director/ssl-params dovecot-Director/imap-login director Here is the version that I'm running and including the dovecot -n output below: bash-4.2# dovecot --version 2.2.36 bash-4.2# dovecot -n # 2.2.36 (xxxxx): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 4.1.12-112.14.11.el7uek.x86_64 x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.7 (Maipo) # Hostname: XXXXXXX auth_debug = yes auth_default_realm = xxxxxxxxxxxx auth_verbose = yes disable_plaintext_auth = no dotlock_use_excl = no hostname = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx instance_name = Dovecot login_log_format_elements = user=<%u> method=%m rip=%r lip=%l mpid=%e %c home=% domain=%d mail_debug = yes mail_fsync = always mail_gid = imapd mail_home = /xxxxxxxxxxx/%d/%n mail_location = dbox:~/ mail_uid = imapd mmap_disable = yes passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/lookups/ldap-pass.conf driver = ldap } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/lookups/xxxx.conf driver = ldap } plugin { stats_refresh = 30 secs stats_track_cmds = yes } protocols = imap lmtp service auth { client_limit = 4096 unix_listener auth-userdb { mode = 0777 } } service imap-login { chroot = login client_limit = 0 drop_priv_before_exec = no executable = imap-login extra_groups = group = idle_kill = 0 inet_listener imap { address = port = 1144 ssl = no } inet_listener imaps { address = port = 994 ssl = yes } privileged_group = process_limit = 0 process_min_avail = 0 protocol = imap service_count = 50 type = login user = $default_login_user vsz_limit = 18446744073709551615 B } service imap { service_count = 50 } service lmtp { executable = lmtp -L inet_listener lmtp { address = port = 10025 } } service stats { fifo_listener stats-mail { mode = 0600 user = imapd } } ssl_cert = </xxxxxxx/cert/dovecot.pem ssl_cipher_list = XXXXXX ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it ssl_protocols = XXXXX userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/lookups/ldap-user.conf driver = ldap } userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/lookups/xxxxxxx.conf driver = ldap } Thanks & Regards, Naveen
