Deleted dovecot.index.*
by Odhiambo Washington 17 Jun '19

I'm using mdbox. What's the consequence of deleting dovecot.index.* from all folders? All mail gets lost or I can rebuild the indexes and get the mails?

mailbox encryption
by David Mehler 17 Jun '19

17 Jun '19

Hello, I've got dovecot 2.3 going, and I've got a file 10-mailcrypt.conf which is loading mail_crypt, thinking that that plugin would propagate through all the services, sieve, lmtp, and mailbox message storage. I'm not seeing anything in the logs indicating that the encryption is happening. I am using a file format dbox specifically sdbox format, and in my mailbox I am seeing files like u.5 and others, a file check on them reveals them as data. Should I be seeing encryption in the logs? Thanks. Dave.

LDA vs LMTP change in header
by ＠lbutlr 17 Jun '19

17 Jun '19

Switching to dovecot LMTP appears to have change the information in the received header, which appears to be causing my spam filter to wig out and mark local to local emails as spam. Here’s what the received header used to look like: Received: from [10.0.5.3] (c-71-229-144-93.hsd1.co.comcast.net [71.229.144.93]) by mail.covisp.net (Postfix) with ESMTPS id B67B8118AD59 for <kreme(a)kreme.com>; Sun, 16 Aug 2009 22:19:02 -0600 (MDT) As opposed to now: Received: from darth.lan (c-73-14.161.160.hsd1.co.comcast.net [73.14.161.160]) by mail.covisp.net(Postfix 3.4.5/8.13.0) with SMTP id unknown; Sun, 16 Jun 2019 15:26:32 -0600 (envelope-from <kreme(a)kreme.com>) The first has an ESMTPS id and the other has SMTP id unknown, which seems to be causing Spamass-milter to treat the LMTP emails as unauthenticated and then ding them for being from public IPs. -- Thanks to the human heart by which we live, Thanks to its tenderness, its joys, and fears, To me the meanest flower that blows can give Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears

What does Solr index do and how to handle its high avaliablity?
by luckydog xf 17 Jun '19

17 Jun '19

Hi, guys, Can you give me an example of solr usage in dovecot? As far as I know, you can search email easily by MUA like outlook, so which role does solr play? And based on https://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2019-April/115575.html I'm going to use an VIP to host 2 mail servers. Currently, it works in fail over and fail back test except solr index, so how to resolve this? Is it possible to put dovecot index on shared storage like NFS? How to if it's a yes. It seems it's under /var/solr/data/dovecot/data/ How to rebuild if I don't put index data on shared storage in case of fail over? Thanks,

Self-signed TLS client certificates
by Marvin Gülker 16 Jun '19

16 Jun '19

Dear List, I self-host my e-mail and run Dovecot since ever I do that. Dovecot version is 2.3.4.1 (f79e8e7e4), running on Debian testing. Now I am trying to configure Dovecot for client TLS certificates. I have a self-signed certificate whose private key resides on a smartcard (Yubikey, to be exact). I wanted Dovecot to accept that TLS client certificate instead of a password. So I searched and found this wiki page: <https://wiki2.dovecot.org/SSL/DovecotConfiguration#Client_certificate_verif…> But that Wiki page says: > The CA file should contain the certificate(s) followed by the matching > CRL(s). Note that the CRLs are required to exist. I have now messed three hours or so with OpenSSL to get a CRL generated for my self-signed certificate, but I can't get that to work (the problem appearently being that OpenSSL doesn't play well with private keys on smartcards). It doesn't make sense anyway, why does one need a CRL for a self-signed certificate? If the self-signed certificate's key gets compromised, the CRL does not help at all. So, here are my questions: 1. Is a CRL really a hard requirement? 2. If not: can I just use the self-signed certificate of my private key for the ssl_ca setting? 3. If yes: any idea how I can generate a CRL for my smartcard-bound self-signed certificate? Marvin -- Blog: https://mg.guelker.eu

NOTIFY: bug on mailbox renaming and deletion ?
by kael 16 Jun '19

16 Jun '19

Hello, Testing the NOTIFY extension on imap.vivaldi.net, seems there's a bug when a mailbox is renamed or deleted. Requesting events with: A1 NOTIFY SET (inboxes (SubscriptionChange MailboxName)) Here are the sent events: - mailbox creation with automatic subscription (ok): * LIST () "." foo * LIST (\Subscribed) "." foo - mailbox renaming (bug ?): * LIST () "." bar ("OLDNAME" (foo)) * LIST (\Subscribed) "." bar * LIST () "." foo - mailbox deletion (bug ?): * LIST (\NonExistent) "." Trash.bar * LIST () "." Trash.bar It seems that for the two latter cases, the last received event is incorrect, Dovecot notifying of mailbox unsubscription after the mailbox has been renamed or deleted. In that case a client would consider those two last events not as mailbox renaming or deletion, but as a mailbox creation, wouldn't it ? Am I missing something ? Cheers. -- kael

Dovecot 2.3 error, FreeBSD 12 in a jail
by David Mehler 15 Jun '19

15 Jun '19

Hello, I'm trying to get Dovecot going on my system. It's a FreeBSD 12.0-RELEASE system and it's running dovecot 2.3 via ports in a jail. I'm getting the same error message(s) as in this bug report, which has been marked as closed: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=225078 Dovecot is not starting at all in this jail when starting with service dovecot start. A service dovecot status also reveals the error message about /var/run/dovecot/dovecot.conf file, but a doveconf -n does not reveal any configuration file issues. I did put a symlink in /var/run/dovecot to /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf, this did not correct the issue. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks. Dave.
