Doveadm HTTP API and CORS
by Peter Chiochetti 13 Dec '19

13 Dec '19

While toying around with Doveadmin HTTP api I noticed, there is not much hype around it. Let's change that. Doveadmin REST API so to speak provides a web server. When doing /ajax/ requests, modern browsers block that, unless the response comes with a specific CORS header. Here how to work around with a proxy: > # /etc/dovecot/local.conf > doveadm_allowed_commands = fetch > doveadm_api_key = secret > service doveadm { > inet_listener http { > port = 8084 > } > } > # secret64 = echo -n secret | base64 > # /etc/apache/.../some-site.conf > ProxyVia Block > <Location /doveadm/v1> > RequestHeader set Authorization "X-Dovecot-API secret64" > ProxyPass http://localhost:8084/doveadm/v1 retry=0 timeout=5 > ProxyPassReverse http://localhost:8084/doveadm/v1 > </Location> Intranet only this might be good enough, TLS with username/password Basic-Authentication passthrough might be used for better security.

BUG: panic when using fs:posix as dict for acl_shared_dict

Hi, I'm using Dovecot 2.2.33.2 on a RHEL 7, new installation. When I use fs:posix as dict for acl_shared_dict, like in Dovecot wiki (https://wiki.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/ClusterSetup) doveadm-server crash with error: # doveadm acl set -u USERNAME FOLDER user=DEST_USERNAME lookup read write-seen doveadm(USERNAME): Panic: file dict-fs.c: line 127 (fs_dict_iterate_init): assertion failed: ((flags & DICT_ITERATE_FLAG_RECURSE) == 0) doveadm(USERNAME): Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x9f3de) [0x7f0e4a4b23de] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(default_fatal_handler+0x2a) [0x7f0e4a4b244a] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_fatal+0) [0x7f0e4a44377c] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x31688) [0x7f0e4a444688] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(dict_iterate_init_multiple+0x4d) [0x7f0e4a47cadd] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(dict_iterate_init+0x29) [0x7f0e4a47cb89] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/lib01_acl_plugin.so(acl_lookup_dict_rebuild+0x3e1) [0x7f0e49a40371] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/lib01_acl_plugin.so(acl_backend_vfile_acllist_rebuild+0x488) [0x7f0e49a3dd18] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/lib01_acl_plugin.so(acl_backend_vfile_object_update+0x3c7) [0x7f0e49a3e867] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/lib01_acl_plugin.so(acl_mailbox_update_acl+0x68) [0x7f0e49a41e28] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/doveadm/lib10_doveadm_acl_plugin.so(+0x2c11) [0x7f0e48da1c11] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/doveadm/lib10_doveadm_acl_plugin.so(+0x3060) [0x7f0e48da2060] -> doveadm(+0x2b41c) [0x556f1280b41c] -> doveadm(+0x2c01a) [0x556f1280c01a] -> doveadm(doveadm_cmd_ver2_to_mail_cmd_wrapper+0x23b) [0x556f1280ce7b] -> doveadm(doveadm_cmd_run_ver2+0x50c) [0x556f1281c73c] -> doveadm(doveadm_cmd_try_run_ver2+0x37) [0x556f1281c7d7] -> doveadm(main+0x1e4) [0x556f127fb944] -> /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf5) [0x7f0e4a071c05] -> doveadm(+0x1bd35) [0x556f127fbd35] Aborted Attached coredump and configuration.

Hello, since the upgrade from 2.3.8 to 2.3.9 (using the Ubuntu 18.04 packages from dovecot.org) lmtp crashes for me for some mails.

dovecot update from 2.1.16 to 2.2.36.4 but I have a trouble.
by iriya＠peach.ocn.ne.jp 13 Dec '19

13 Dec '19

Hi,I have a troble and can not resolve it. Please help me. I updated dovecot from 2.1.16 to 2.2.36.4. As a result, I had a client who could not access via imap. The client showed his logs (- folder not exists:INBOX ) I did not change dovecot config files. So I searched a difference between 2.1.16 and 2.2.36.4, I discovered . Please refer below results. [2.1.16] a03 list "" "*" * LIST (\HasChildren) "." "INBOX" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.Drafts" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.Sent" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.Spam" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.Trash" [2.2.36.4] a03 list "" "*" * LIST (\HasChildren) "." INBOX * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." INBOX.Drafts * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." INBOX.Sent * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." INBOX.Spam * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." INBOX.Trash For example, I noticed INBOX and "INBOX". 2.2.36.4 dovecot is no [""]. What should I do?

Lightweight LMTP daemon to avoid overkill MTA
by William Edwards 12 Dec '19

12 Dec '19

Hi, My situation is as follows. -An internet-facing spam filter relays email to destination mail server (Dovecot) with SMTP. - Dovecot should take email and deliver it to user's mailboxes. I guess I'd need LMTP for this. - An external SMTP relay is already in place. I am thinking of using Dovecot submission to relay to the external relaying cluster. So, both relaying and routing are done externally - the Dovecot machine should only store mail. Of course, there should also be a mechanism that takes care of local delivery to Dovecot, like LMTP. Usually, I would use an MTA like Exim to take care of local delivery. I feel like a fully-featured MTA is overkill, though, as all other roles such an MTA would fulfill - relaying and spam filtering - are fulfilled on external servers. Q: Does anyone know of a lightweight LMTP daemon that can take care of local delivery to Dovecot without the need for a full MTA?
