sieve vacation alias handling problem
by Karol Augustin 06 Mar '18

06 Mar '18

Hi, I am using Dovecot LDA as LMTP renders envelope extension unusable. The problem I have noticed is that when user has multiple aliases sieve responds to all of them, not only to :addresses specified. >From testing it seems that :addresses only adds addresses to the list of "known" emails to check against. It is not limiting it. As I understand, sieve should check if To: header is consistent with addresses known to be users. But how Dovecot knows about aliases assigned to the user? >From my testing if header To: address is consistent with envelope To: address the reply is fired. I have sieve_vacation_use_original_recipient left at it's default value (no), so that shouldn't be the case. Now if user address(a)example.com has alias alias(a)example.com specified, the vacation reply will be sent to email addressed to alias(a)example.com, which is weird, because this behavior should be enabled by switching sieve_vacation_use_original_recipient to yes. When user receives an email that was originally sent to his gmail account (forwarded) there is no reply. If I add gmail address to :addresses reply is generated as expected. So my main question is if this is expected? I would like to enable only delivery to primary address and to + extensions to that address by default. I think that it might be that Postfix is expanding aliases and passing the final recipient (as to=<XXX>) to dovecot. Then dovecot is using that address to check for explicit delivery, but something fails, as this address is obviously not in To: header. So it looks like orig_to has to be used as well which should be disabled by sieve_vacation_use_original_recipient? My address is: karol(a)augustin.pl, alias is: carol(a)augustin.pl Mar 2 12:37:32 mail dovecot: lda(karol(a)augustin.pl): sieve: msgid=<3ba0578a5f6b170e942b5bac1b19be36(a)posteo.net>: sent vacation response to <sender(a)example.com> Mar 2 12:37:32 mail postfix/qmgr[4744]: 3zt82h4CG4z2xlw: from=<>, size=732, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Mar 2 12:37:32 mail dovecot: lda(karol(a)augustin.pl): sieve: msgid=<3ba0578a5f6b170e942b5bac1b19be36(a)posteo.net>: stored mail into mailbox 'INBOX' Mar 2 12:37:32 mail postfix/pipe[8793]: 3zt82f3x4xz2xmw: to=<karol(a)augustin.pl>, orig_to=<carol(a)augustin.pl>, relay=dovecot, delay=2.2, delays=2.2/0/0/0.06, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered via dovecot service) Forward from from gmail: Mar 2 11:38:19 mail postfix/qmgr[4744]: 3zt6kL1yF7z2xgg: from=<karolaug+caf_=karol=augustin.pl(a)gmail.com>, size=5831, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Mar 2 11:38:19 mail dovecot: lda(karol(a)augustin.pl): sieve: msgid=<e610a47934f9aabb31f833c025075cff(a)posteo.net>: discarding vacation response for implicitly delivered message; no known (envelope) recipient address found in message headers (recipient=<karol(a)augustin.pl>, and additional `:addresses' are specified) Mar 2 11:38:19 mail dovecot: lda(karol(a)augustin.pl): sieve: msgid=<e610a47934f9aabb31f833c025075cff(a)posteo.net>: stored mail into mailbox 'INBOX' Mar 2 11:38:19 mail postfix/pipe[5362]: 3zt6kL1yF7z2xgg: to=<karol(a)augustin.pl>, relay=dovecot, delay=1.3, delays=1.2/0/0/0.05, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered via dovecot service) from my master.cf: dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda -f ${sender} -a ${original_recipient} -d ${user}@${nexthop} Thanks, Karol -- Karol Augustin karol(a)augustin.pl http://karolaugustin.pl/ +353 85 775 5312

LMTP delivery segfaults when user is over quota.
by Reio Remma 06 Mar '18

06 Mar '18

Hello! I'm having crashes with LMTP delivery when user is over quota on the latest CentOS 7.4 with the latest Dovecot 2.3.0.1 from Dovecot repo. I see the issue has been fixed on January 17, but it doesn't seem to have made it into 2.3.0.1 (I compared with the source from https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.0.1.tar.gz) https://github.com/dovecot/core/commit/2bf919786518d138cc07d9cc21e14ad5e07e… I also noticed a similar construct being used on line 465 (rcpt->rcpt.rcpt->path) that was causing the segfault on the above commit on line 136. struct smtp_address *rcpt_to = rcpt->rcpt.rcpt->path; Should that also use rcpt->rcpt.path; ? Thanks from the other side of the gulf! Reio

Deprecations for schema.xml and newest Solr version (7.2.x)
by TG Servers 05 Mar '18

05 Mar '18

Hi, the schema.xml example provided for dovecot in /usr/share/doc/dovecot-<verison> does not work anymore with the newest Solr Version (as I know of 7.2.x) because some field classes and filter classes are deprecated in this version. The changes (according to the Solr documentation) would have to be : In the index analyzer : <fieldType name="long" class="solr.TrieLongField" /> into <fieldType name="long" class="solr.LongPointField" /> ......... <filter class="solr.WordDelimiterFilterFactory" generateWordParts="1" generateNumberParts="1" catenateWords="1" catenateNumbers="1" catenateAll="0" splitOnCaseChange="1"/> into <filter class="solr.WordDelimiterGraphFilterFactory" generateWordParts="1" generateNumberParts="1" catenateWords="1" catenateNumbers="1" catenateAll="0" splitOnCaseChange="1"/> and because this is used in the index analyzer it has to be followed by <filter class="solr.FlattenGraphFilterFactory"/> .............. In the query analyzer : <filter class="solr.SynonymFilterFactory" synonyms="synonyms.txt" ignoreCase="true" expand="true"/> into <filter class="solr.SynonymGraphFilterFactory" synonyms="synonyms.txt" ignoreCase="true" expand="true"/> ............... <filter class="solr.WordDelimiterFilterFactory" generateWordParts="1" generateNumberParts="1" catenateWords="0" catenateNumbers="0" catenateAll="0" splitOnCaseChange="1"/> into <filter class="solr.WordDelimiterGraphFilterFactory" generateWordParts="1" generateNumberParts="1" catenateWords="0" catenateNumbers="0" catenateAll="0" splitOnCaseChange="1"/> ......... Don't know if you want to mention this somewhere in your docs. Cheers, Thomas

getmail, dovecot, virtual users
by David Mehler 05 Mar '18

05 Mar '18

Hello, I've got a dovecot setup with virtual users coming from a MySQL database. The only system user I have is the vmail owner of the email store. What i'd like to do is use the program getmail to back up my gmail account and place that in my user's virtual mail store. I'm having issues making the configuration file and where to put it. Should it go in the virtual user's home directory or somewhere else and run by which user root or the vmail user? If anyone has this working any suggestions appreciated. Thanks. Dave.
