Hello, i was using dovecot version 2.2 on debian server. After upgrade to debian version 2.3 i have problems. After some time imap doesn't work. There are lot of messages in log 2019-05-21T10:27:49.186373+02:00 hermes dovecot: imap-login: Error: master(imap): net_connect_unix(imap) failed: Resource temporarily unavailable - http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SocketUnavailable (client-pid=24810, client-id=148, rip=2.2.2.2, created 551 msecs ago, received 0/4 bytes) 2019-05-21T10:27:50.808136+02:00 hermes dovecot: imap-login: Error: master(imap): net_connect_unix(imap) failed: Resource temporarily unavailable - http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SocketUnavailable (client-pid=24810, client-id=169, rip=2.2.2.2, created 531 msecs ago, received 0/4 bytes) Tried client_limit set to 1 , service_count to 1 or 0 , still same results. It's imap server for 3k users. Any suggestions, please let me know. Thank you very much. Regards -- Lampa

Dovecot with LDAP Proxy
by Federico Bartolucci 21 May '19

21 May '19

Hello, configuring Dovecot with LDAP authentication, adding the parameter in ther sql config file: pass_attrs = \ =proxy=y I see then backend connections always addressed to localhot port 143: /user=utente1(a)domanin.com proxy lip=127.0.0.1 lport=143 / while I expect that connections would be managed by the director and then addressed to my backend IPs and specific port. Is there a way to configure ldap proxy to get that behavior? Thanks in advance. -federico

Dovecot documentation

the make config options for dovecot on FreeBSD list list [x] ICU Use libicu for FTS unicode normalization but https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/FTS makes no mention of libicu (nor of icu at all). is linicu simply in addition to the four options of Solar, Lucene, fts-xapian, and fts-dovecot? Also, the link to fts-dovecot goes to https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/FTS/Dovecot which is a 404. -- Man is born free, but is everywhere in chains.

[mail-crypt-plugin] How to decrypt mailbox?
by emordin 21 May '19

21 May '19

Hi, So I am able to encrypt email using the crypt plugin, but when I try to access the email by logging in thru mutt or roundcube the email is still encrypted. Is the decryption process automatic or do I have to create a custom program with the decrypt.rb code? Thanks. Sent with [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com) Secure Email.

Further issues on FTS engine
by Joan Moreau 20 May '19

20 May '19

Hi, Additionally to the long list of problem on the FTS previously discussed, here a new: WHen I reset the indexes, the indexer-worker seems paralelleizing the indexing (which is good), however, the number available in "ps aux | grep dove" shows that it does not move: dovecot 28549 0.0 0.0 8620 3920 ? S 06:20 0:00 dovecot/indexer [0 clients, 3 requests] mailuse+ 28550 98.6 0.1 167412 86916 ? R 06:20 5:28 dovecot/indexer-worker [jom(a)grosjo.net XXXX - 800/37755] Looking further, if I put a tracer in teh backend, it treats the *same* message several times in parallel, and therefore does not move very fast on the global indexing of the box ANy clue ? THanks

enforcing multiple per-mailbox quotas for shared mailboxes
by Jost-Philip Matysik 20 May '19

20 May '19

Hi! I'm trying to get quotas for shared mailboxes set up on my server. It's not working, and I fail to understand why. Documentation for setup of this complexity is rather scarce on the web, and the discussions I found either don't directly apply or terminate with "I got it working" but no explanation. Can someone please help? The setup is rather lengthy and complicated, so I'll try to give a summary first for easier understanding. All help is appreciated! Please respond if you need more info! Thanks! Best regards, Jost Basic setup (where am I coming from?): ====================================== - This is a Debian 9 system with a more recent version of dovecot installed from https://repo.dovecot.org/ce-2.3-latest/debian/stretch - users have individual mailboxes with individual quotas -- this works great! - users can share mailboxes with other users through ACLs. To achieve this, there exists a wildcarded namespace with prefix="ZZZ_Freigaben/%%u" --this also works great! ==> up to here it's pretty much following the examples from the Wiki to the letter. Configuration goal (what do I want to achieve?): ================================================ - attach quotas to mailboxes, not logins - when copying/moving mails across shared mailboxes during imap sessions, enforce quota based on target mailbox, not logged-in user doing the copying. To clarify: ==> so if Bob has a quota of 500MB, all messages in Bob's mailbox should count against (and only against!) Bob's quota, regardless of who put them there. ==> if Alice has access to her own mailbox (directly), as well as Bob's mailbox and Dave's mailbox (through sharing), she should see 3 individual quotas when logging in: her own quota (200MB) for everything in her mailbox, bob's quota (300MB) for everything in Bob's mailbox, and Dave's quota (10GB) for everything in Dave's mailbox. These 3 quotas should be completely independant and neither block, nor override each other. Setup Idea (how I tried to get there): ====================================== - "quota=..." "quota_rule" and "quota_rule2" always refer to the user's own mailbox (with an additional rule for Trash). Everyone has those, so these are loaded statically from dovecot config file. - "quota_rule" is overwritten from userdb with the user's individual mailbox quota (the more I like you, the more space you get...) - since the number of different additional quotas required per user depends on how many mailboxes are shared with that user, individual "quota2=...", "quota3=...", "quotaN=..." fields are dynamically generated by the MySQL backend and loaded from userdb upon login. - consequently, for each "quotaN=..." entry, a corresponding "quotaN_rule=*:storage=XXX" is generated and returned from userdb (substitute N=1,2,3,4,... accordingly) Observations: ============= 1. enforcing quota for the user's personal mailbox works as expected, both through IMAP and when delivering incoming mail 2. overriding "quota_rule=..." from userdb for the user's personal mailbox works great. Individual quota is recognized and enforced both through IMAP and when delivering incoming mail. 3. dynamically loading "quota2=...", "quota3=..." etc. from userdb doesn't seem to work at all! I can see them being added as extra fields in the logs upon user login, but the quota-plugin seems to completely ignore them. They are not enforces, and tools like 'doveadm quota' list the userdb fields in the debug messages, but do not interpret them in any way. They do not throw errors either, the additional quota roots are just silently ignored. 4. the end result is that in an IMAP session the logged-in user's quota is enforced for their individual mailbox, but as soon as they write to someone else's mailbox (move a mail to /ZZZFreigaben/bob/Some-Subfolder), no quota is enforced at all! Additional debugging done: ========================== if I hardcode a "quota2=" and/or "quota3=" in the config file, I can observe the following: - If I hardcode "quota2=count:some_name:ns=ZZZ_Freigaben/", dovecot and doveadm will recognize the additional quota root. But since the folder "ZZZ_Freigaben/" on its own isn't a mailbox (it's just a path CONTAINING mailboxes), the quota is neither displayed in clients, nor enforced. It has no real-word effect, other than 'doveadm quota' showing an additional line. - If I hardcode "quota2=count:other_name:ns=ZZZ_Freigaben/postmaster/" in the config file (with that path being the real IMAP path to a shared mailbox), dovecot will complain in the log saying Error: quota: Unknown namespace: ZZZ_Freigaben/postmaster/ dovecot will start and work for the most part, but again completely ignore settings for the additional quota. - additionally, trying to override "quota2_rule=..." from userdb doesn't work as it does with "quota_rule=..."! If I have both "quota_rule=..." and "quota2_rule=..." in the config file as well as returned from userdb (with different values), dovecot will use "quota_rule" from userdb, but "quota2_rule" from config file. This behavior seems inconsistent! - I tried both maildir and count backends (seperately or mixed). Both show the same behavior. - I tried appending or removing an empty "ns=" to the first "quota=..." entry (the wiki shows some examples with it, some without). Makes no difference... Configuration Dumps below (slightly redacted to remove complete email addresses or IPs) ========================== output of dovecot -n: # 2.3.6 (7eab80676): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.5.6 (92dc263a) # OS: Linux 4.9.0-9-amd64 x86_64 Debian 9.9 # Hostname: [censored] auth_failure_delay = 10 secs auth_mechanisms = plain login default_vsz_limit = 512 M dict { acl = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext } listen = * lmtp_rcpt_check_quota = yes login_greeting = Mail system ready. mail_gid = vmail mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir mail_plugins = " quota acl" mail_uid = vmail managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date index ihave duplicate mime foreverypart extracttext imapsieve vnd.dovecot.imapsieve namespace Freigaben { list = children location = maildir:%%h/Maildir:INDEXPVT=%h/Maildir/Freigaben/%%u prefix = ZZZ_Freigaben/%%u/ separator = / subscriptions = no type = shared } namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { auto = subscribe special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { auto = subscribe autoexpunge = 61 days special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { auto = subscribe special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { auto = subscribe autoexpunge = 61 days special_use = \Trash } prefix = separator = / subscriptions = yes type = private } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.username driver = sql } plugin { acl = vfile:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-acl acl_defaults_from_inbox = yes acl_shared_dict = proxy::acl imapsieve_mailbox1_before = file:/etc/dovecot/sieve/learn-spam.sieve imapsieve_mailbox1_causes = COPY imapsieve_mailbox1_name = Junk imapsieve_mailbox2_before = file:/etc/dovecot/sieve/learn-ham.sieve imapsieve_mailbox2_causes = COPY imapsieve_mailbox2_from = Junk imapsieve_mailbox2_name = * quota = count:User quota:ns= quota_grace = 1%% quota_rule = *:storage=5G quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+100M quota_status_nouser = DUNNO quota_status_overquota = 552 5.2.2 Mailbox is full quota_status_success = DUNNO quota_vsizes = yes sieve = file:~/sieve;active=~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_after = /etc/dovecot/sieve-after sieve_global_extensions = +vnd.dovecot.pipe +vnd.dovecot.environment sieve_max_script_size = 10M sieve_pipe_bin_dir = /etc/dovecot/sieve sieve_plugins = sieve_imapsieve sieve_extprograms sieve_quota_max_storage = 50M } postmaster_address = postmaster(a)matysik-ingenieurwesen.de protocols = " imap lmtp sieve" service auth-worker { user = vmail } service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-userdb { mode = 0666 } } service dict { unix_listener dict { group = vmail mode = 0660 user = dovecot } } service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 0 } inet_listener imaps { address = [censored] port = 993 ssl = yes } } service imap { process_limit = 1024 } service lmtp { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { group = postfix mode = 0600 user = postfix } } service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve { address = [censored] port = 4190 } service_count = 1 } service managesieve { process_limit = 64 } ssl_cert = </etc/letsencrypt/live/fullchain.pem ssl_cipher_list = ECDH+AESGCM:DH+AESGCM:ECDH+AES256:DH+AES256:ECDH+AES128:DH+AES:ECDH+3DES:DH+3DES:RSA+AESGCM:RSA+AES:RSA+3DES:!aNULL:!MD5:!DSS ssl_dh = # hidden, use -P to show it ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it ssl_min_protocol = TLSv1.2 ssl_options = no_compression ssl_prefer_server_ciphers = yes # comment: since imap logins differ from email-addresses I have 2 # userdb queries.

Create a malicious directory
by lty 20 May '19

20 May '19

Use scripts to create some malicious directories. Here is my creation process. How can I prevent the creation of these directories? I used the python imapclient script to create a directory. There may be no big threat to dovecot, but it is dangerous for doveadm.

Plugins/Mailcrypt: mail_crypt_private_password not assigned by password_query
by Max Kostikov 20 May '19

I try to use Mailcrypt encrypted user keys with conjustion with dbsync replication(Dovecot 2.3.6 in FreeBSD 12.0 enviroment) but was unsuccessful. If I provide a password in mail_crypt_private_password variable directly in Dovecot config all things works as expected plugin { mail_crypt_curve = prime256v1 mail_crypt_save_version = 2 mail_crypt_require_encrypted_user_key = yes mail_crypt_private_password = 12345 } but when I remove this and trying to get the same user password in password_query it seems password doesn't assigned password_query = SELECT username AS user, password, \ '%w' AS userdb_mail_crypt_private_password \ FROM mailbox WHERE username = LCASE('%u') \ AND active = '1' with errors like this in log at server where message was accepted from remote system May 20 00:40:31 server1 dovecot[35417]: dsync-local(foo(a)example.com)<Y51qBF/b4VyHigAAJQnBKg>: Error: dsync(server1.example.com): read() failed: read(/var/mail/example.com/foo/new/1558305609.M674400P35456.server1.example… failed: Private key not available: Cannot decrypt key a4ceb2df0287c0c0ccb0d76e31d91824e1f13e9ffe63d1e04a9a233a073d8a64: Cannot decrypt key 5d19a9246ddce2759a21462974add562dd90f2cb2aa3ff6a5af1af1e3e9b58e6: Password not available (last sent=mail, last recv=mail_request (EOL)) and errors at replica server May 20 00:40:31 server2 dovecot[63985]: dsync-local(foo(a)example.com)<MpW+HV/b4VwD+wAAfP91Tw>: Error: dsync(server2.example.com): read() failed: read() failed: dot-input stream ends without '.' line (last sent=mail_request (EOL), last recv=mail) The question is it possible to have password encrypted user keys with Dovecot dbsync replication or we found a new bug? -- With best regards, Max Kostikov W: https://kostikov.co | DeltaChat: mk(a)eprove.net
