Bug: Dovecot index loosing sync with FTS despite "fts_autoindex = yes"
by kfx 29 May '18

29 May '18

dovecot 2.2.34 solr 7.2 I only see new messages after typing on the server "doveadm fts rescan -u username" though I've followed the wiki and added "fts_autoindex = yes" in 90-plugin.conf . Subsequent search for the same pattern always gives the same result, ignoring new emails with that particular pattern. Solr is working correctly and the correct search results comes immediately (whatever the searched word) after a "doveadm fts rescan" # doveconf | grep fts mail_plugins = " quota stats fts fts_solr" fts = solr fts_autoindex = yes fts_solr = url=http://localhost:8983/solr/dovecot/ [POP] mail_plugins = " quota stats fts fts_solr sieve virtual" [IMAP] mail_plugins = " quota stats fts fts_solr imap_quota virtual imap_stats"

Search problem
by Federico Bartolucci 28 May '18

28 May '18

Hello, when doing a simple search through the lucene indexes in some mailboxes (with actually many subfolders) the search terminates after a few seconds with no result and the dovecot log shows this error: Fatal: master: service(imap): child 15433 killed with signal 6 (core not dumped) Any clue about the reasons? the lucene indexes have been already rebuilt and look OK. Regards -federico

You can use value '2' for enabling encryption. DO NOT USE 1. Also I tried the SQL based thing, and if you had EMPTY mail_crypt_private_password, try these to change the password.

lda / postfix / dovecot -- bounced messages not working
by Scott Ruckh 25 May '18

25 May '18

I saw another thread about this topic, but I did not understand the solution. . . I recently discovered my bounced messages were not getting delivered. Obviously since I was not getting any messages, I thought everything was fine. Anyway, my maillog has entries similar to below for bounced messages: Mar 29 10:48:09 firewall postfix/pipe[9089]: 19565807: to=<myuser(a)my.domain>, relay=dovecot, delay=0.11, delays=0.02/0.01/0/0.08, dsn=5.3.0, status=bounced (command line usage error. Command output: lda: Fatal: Invalid -f parameter: Missing domain ) In the previous thread discussing this issue it mentioned that this was a dovecot error and possibly due to a dovecot 2.3.0 upgrade. I am running dovecot-2.3.0-1.1 on a CentOS 7 server. The solution from the other thread simply stated that the original poster is instead using lmtp instead of lda, or at least that it was I got from the thread. If using lmtp instead of lda is the correct solution, could I get an example of what configuration changes need to be made to make that happen? Otherwise, has anyone else seen this error and know the solution to make it work. My current dovecot configuration for postfix (master.cf) is using the de-facto standard from many web docs: dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -f ${sender} -d ${recipient} This is the same configuration that was originally setup and has worked for years; until the bounced message problem was recently discovered. If anyone has seen this error and knows the solution, I would appreciate the help. Thank You. Scott

last login tracking error

question on setting ulimit on debian
by Sophie Loewenthal 24 May '18

24 May '18

Hi, I’ve been trying to increase the number of open files for the dovecot user on Debian 9 and have so far, failed! I’ve tried this: # cat /etc/security/limits.d/limits_dovecot.conf dovecot soft nofile 2048 dovecot hard nofile 8192 # cat /etc/systemd/system/dovecot.service.d/service.conf LimitNOFILE=8192 But to no avail: # prlimit -p 27208|grep -i nofile NOFILE max number of open files 1024 4096 files Lost me :( Any ideas? Thanks,Sophie.

Dovecot send duplicated certificates when using ssl_alt_cert
by Jean-Daniel Dupas 24 May '18

24 May '18

Hello, I'm running dovecot 2.3.1 (c5a5c0c82) and trying to experiment with using both RSA and ECDSA certificates. My configuration is as follow: ssl_alt_cert = </path/to/my.rsa.key ssl_alt_key = </path/to/my.rsa.key ssl_cert = </path/to/my.ecdsa.pem ssl_key = </path/to/my.ecdsa.key Both certificates are let's encrypt certificate, so both are using the same intermediate CA. The certificate chain are: for rsa: - my certificate - Let's Encrypt Authority X3 - DST Root CA X3 for ecdsa: - my certificate - Let's Encrypt Authority X3 - DST Root CA X3 My problem is that when connecting, dovecot includes 2 copies of Let's Encrypt Authority X3 in the certificate chain. I think this is a bug. When building the chain, dovecot should ignore duplicated certificates and when opening the connection, it should only send intermediates related to the used certificate (either RSA or ECDSA). (and as a side note, when using dovecot -n, dovecot hides the ssl_key (ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it) but not the ssl_alt_key. This is probably a bug too). --------------- openssl s_client -showcerts -host imap.example.com -port 993 -servername imap.example.com CONNECTED(00000005) depth=1 C = US, O = Let's Encrypt, CN = Let's Encrypt Authority X3 verify error:num=20:unable to get local issuer certificate verify return:0 --- Certificate chain 0 s:/CN=imap.example.com i:/C=US/O=Let's Encrypt/CN=Let's Encrypt Authority X3 -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIHPDCCBiSgAwIBAgISA2e3bP2o1mpdOr9kTDm/R/zuMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBCwUA … -----END CERTIFICATE----- 1 s:/C=US/O=Let's Encrypt/CN=Let's Encrypt Authority X3 i:/O=Digital Signature Trust Co./CN=DST Root CA X3 -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIEkjCCA3qgAwIBAgIQCgFBQgAAAVOFc2oLheynCDANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQsFADA/ MSQwIgYDVQQKExtEaWdpdGFsIFNpZ25hdHVyZSBUcnVzdCBDby4xFzAVBgNVBAMT … -----END CERTIFICATE----- 2 s:/C=US/O=Let's Encrypt/CN=Let's Encrypt Authority X3 i:/O=Digital Signature Trust Co./CN=DST Root CA X3 -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIEkjCCA3qgAwIBAgIQCgFBQgAAAVOFc2oLheynCDANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQsFADA/ MSQwIgYDVQQKExtEaWdpdGFsIFNpZ25hdHVyZSBUcnVzdCBDby4xFzAVBgNVBAMT … -----END CERTIFICATE----- --- Server certificate subject=/CN=imap.example.com issuer=/C=US/O=Let's Encrypt/CN=Let's Encrypt Authority X3 --- No client certificate CA names sent --- SSL handshake has read 5140 bytes and written 468 bytes --- New, TLSv1/SSLv3, Cipher is ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384 Server public key is 4096 bit Secure Renegotiation IS supported Compression: NONE Expansion: NONE No ALPN negotiated SSL-Session: Protocol : TLSv1.2 Cipher : ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384 Session-ID: 591240C021A02B399CCB010F37AF7AD83227DC1770C606F73B3EEA3514AF07FB Session-ID-ctx: Master-Key: 7D5A5BFC1B4B8EECF4F41DC084265AF6D32B82130F381B8DDF685B589D54D9BDEBFC20F1DD80E150CD56850C0D062E9E TLS session ticket lifetime hint: 300 (seconds) TLS session ticket: 0000 - 3a 72 98 05 72 af 3d ed-26 a9 e7 2b 68 6b 0a 25 :r..r.=.&..+hk.% … Start Time: 1526482021 Timeout : 300 (sec) Verify return code: 0 (ok) ---

Re: lazy_expuge + mdbox

To a degree I agree .. given mdbox doesnt delete until purge .. but then would be nice if purge took a dovecot search rather than just ditch everything with refcount=0 ... in that way could say purge everything thats been marked as delete according to a specified criteria. rgds Matt completly unrelated moved mailserver back home and listed on cyren so atm getting bounced by dovecot.fi .. have requested de-listing > Aki Tuomi <mailto:aki.tuomi@dovecot.fi> > 24 May 2018 at 3:35 pm > > I am not sure if lazy expunge makes much sense with mdbox, at least if > you use the same mdbox storage with it.

lazy_expuge + mdbox
by Matt Bryant 24 May '18

24 May '18

So moving on from earlier issue now looking at converting mail inbox to mdbox and keeping lazy_expunge as mdbox also .. but again seeing some wierdness so questions .... 1) When i purge trash folder I seem to get 2 copies of the message in .EXPUNGED/Trash folder .. however if I set lazy_expunge_only_last_instance = yes then dont seem to get ANY copy .. just nothing. 2) If I go into Trash and delete a message ... then it does not get moved .. I assume that a delete in Trash is not actually an expunge on TB and hence does get caught by the plugin. 3) Since mdbox doesnt delte anything anyway until purged would it be better not to use lazy-expunge but just have a job that moves any messages in mdbox_deleted: storage to the hidden .EXPUNGED namespace .. does doveadm move work with mdbox_deleted ??? any help appreciated rgds Matt
