In https://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/Fail2Ban, for a current (I know for a fact in 2.2.36) I believe it should be filter = dovecot instead of filter = dovecot-pop3imap [root@mail ~]# ls -l /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/doveco* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1875 May 11 2017 /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/dovecot.conf [root@mail ~]#

Re: SMTPUTF8 support
by David Bürgin 08 Apr '19

André, are you quite sure you have it working? In this thread someone from Open-Xchange stated that no, Dovecot doesn’t have SMTPUTF8 support implemented, and the same response was given by another Dovecot developer last September (it ‘is being considered’ was the answer then, see https://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2018-September/112887.html) I am using LMTP to deliver mail to Dovecot from Postfix, and delivery fails with Postfix reporting: ‘SMTPUTF8 is required, but was not offered by host mail.my.org[private/dovecot-lmtp]’. I doubt that this can work without a change in Dovecot LMTP. Anyway, I am also interested in SMTPUTF8 support, so +1 from me! -- David

OpenFTS

All the discussion on FTS reminds me, is there any plan to support OpenFTS in dovecot or is there a reason preventing that? -- This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

SMTPUTF8 support

Hi, I'm currently trying to set up SMTPUTF8 on my mail stack, but I can't find any information on Dovecot's RFC 6531 support. Has it been implemented yet? If so, does anyone know how to activate it? Regards. -- Sylvhem

doveadm backup + ISO 8859-1 mailbox name
by Michael Goth 04 Apr '19

04 Apr '19

Hi! I'm trying to migrate a mailbox from an old IMAP server (not Dovecot) to a new Dovecot server with 'doveadm backup'. The command fails because of an unexpected character in a mailbox name: doveadm -o imapc_user=ag(a)example.org \ -o imapc_password=XXX \ -o imapc_host=old-mailserver.webflow.de \ -o imapc_port=993 \ -o imapc_ssl=imaps \ -o imapc_ssl_verify=no \ -o imapc_features=rfc822.size,fetch-headers \ -o ssl_client_ca_dir=/etc/ssl \ backup -R -f -x ~* -u migration-ag(a)example.org imapc: dsync(migration-ag(a)example.org): Info: imapc(old-mailserver.webflow.de:993): Connected to 1.1.1.1:993 (local 2.2.2.2:46154) dsync(migration-ag(a)example.org): Error: Failed to access mailbox Entw?rfe: mailbox does not exist The problem is with "Entw?rfe" here. It's actually Entw<0xfc>rfe, which translates to "Entwürfe" in ISO-8859-1. Why can't doveadm find that mailbox? Is the old mailserver misbehaving (I hope not because I have no idea how to change that...), or does this happen on the new server? Can I tell doveadm something that makes this work?

Autosubscribe to public folder
by Рустам 04 Apr '19

04 Apr '19

Hello everyone! I am trying to migrate from Dovecot 1.2 to Dovecot 2.2 and I can`t find information how to subscribe all users to public folder. In Dovecot 1.2 I have a few strings kind of "autosubscribeX = Public.Documents" and every users get subscribed to this Public folders and can`t unsubscribe. This is a goal. Is any posibility to make the same in Dovecot 2.2 or each user have to susbscribe to public folders themselves and this is kind of policy of Dovecot 2.2? -- С уважением, Рустам Багов.

TFA authentication in dovecot, using XMPP and RFC 4226
by André Rodier 03 Apr '19

03 Apr '19

Hello, I would like to implement some kind of two factors authentication, in Dovecot. I am thinking about using the post login script, to check for unusual behaviour, like say, a different country / IP address or an unusual hour. I already wrote a simple shell script that check these factors, but now, I have some options for the following, and I need to know your opinion if this is feasible or not. I want to use google authenticator Debian package (support the HMAC- Based One-time Password (HOTP) algorithm specified in RFC 4226 and the Time-based One-time Password (TOTP)) The challenge would be send via XMPP. This second part is fairly easy to do, I have all the packages on Debian, for instance sendxmpp. The first tests are promising. In case of success, the IP address is added to the list, let's say for one month... My back-end for authentication is OpenLDAP. My questions are: - Do you see any performance issues for other users or login processes, if I implement this? - I am planning to use a timeout, for instance one minute to confirm the connection. Does Dovecot have a timeout on its side, that would abort the connection before? Otherwise: - Is it possible to have multiple authentication back-ends in Dovecot? For instance LDAP and/or OTP? - I think to have seen some TFA options in Dovecot, but AFAICS, they are mandatory. Thanks for your insights, and this fabulous software. -- André Rodier HomeBox: https://github.com/progmaticltd/homebox

where shall I enforce sieve and quota plugins
by luckydog xf 03 Apr '19

03 Apr '19

Hello, guys, I'm going to using sieve and quota plugins, but I'm not sure where shall I enforce against properly? I see somebody uses them against 20-imap.conf, 15-lda.conf, or 20-lmtp.conf I use LMTP as MDA, so where is the correct location to call these plugins and why? Thanks,
