DMARC mailing list rejections

I get about a half dozen rejection messages from various servers when I post to this list. Is there something I need to configure differently in my DMARC record to be better compliant? Daniel

Submission/SMTP proxy server
by Daniel Miller 16 Jan '18

16 Jan '18

Sorry if this seems elementary - but a question on implementation/usage/purpose of this. My understanding is at this time the SMTP proxy server is only that - it does not implement any further functionality. So its availability now is purely for testing purposes. Is that accurate? I secondly assume that this intended for trusted clients only - so this is not intended for processing email submitted via port 25. And thirdly - if a separate firewall/anti-spam/virus/authentication service is run outside of the MTA (like ASSP) then the Dovecot proxy should be inserted between that and the final MTA? -- Daniel

doveadm mailbox command fails if backend has an IPv6 address
by Andreas Jobs 15 Jan '18

15 Jan '18

Hi, some of my maintenance scripts weren't working as expected and I finally found that this only happens if the user was mapped to a backend server reachable via IPv6: On a director: doveadm mailbox status -u username messages Junk returns Junk messages=203 (if backend is connected via IPv4) or Lookup of host ipv6addr:542 failed: ... (if backend is connected via IPv6) doveadm_tcp_connect_port tried a net_gethostbyname with "ipv6addr:542" as hostname. I've attached a quick-and-dirty-patch (for 2.2.33.2) that fixes this (at least for me). Regards, Andreas -- ! Andreas Jobs Network Operation Center ! ! Ruhr-Universitaet Bochum ! !

Duplicate mail id issue, mailbox does not exist when dovecot tries to generate a new guid so replication can take place
by Daniel Botting 15 Jan '18

15 Jan '18

Hi all, When we run the below one user constantly shows as failed (dovecot version is 2.2.13): sudo doveadm replicator status "*" mail.log shows the below for the user: Jan 3 16:20:57 hostname dovecot: dsync-server(user): Error: Duplicate mailbox GUID <guid number> for mailboxes <mailbox name.sub folder> and <mailbox name.sub folder> - giving a new GUID <guid number> to <mailbox name.subfolder> Jan 3 16:20:57 hostname dovecot: dsync-server(user): Error: Couldn't update mailbox <sub folder name> GUID: Mailbox doesn't exist: <sub folder name> Looking at their mailbox the folder does exist. Has anybody seen this before and would be aware of the way to resolve? Kind regards Daniel Botting Codethink Ltd

Non-destructive deduplication
by Tristan Miller 15 Jan '18

15 Jan '18

Greetings. I use Dovecot 2.2.29.1 as my IMAP server. Owing to a bug in my mail client [1], several unique messages (mostly in my Sent folder) have duplicate Message-ID headers. Dovecot itself doesn't seem to be bothered by this, though my mail client is confused by the false duplicates. (It screws up the threading display, and results in data loss when I run the client's deduplication filter.) I would like to change the Message-ID headers in the "duplicate" message files stored in my IMAP server so that they are unique. I realize that this has disadvantages of its own, but I can't think of a better alternative. So this leads me to two questions: 1) Will Dovecot get confused if I simply open the message files in a text editor and manually change their Message-ID headers? If so, how should I go about changing the Message-ID headers? 2) Does there exist any tool that will scan a maildir folder to find messages with duplicate Message-IDs, and automatically rewrite the Message-ID headers so that they are (probably) unique? I could probably kludge together a quick shell script, but if someone's already gone to the trouble of writing such a tool and making it relatively robust, I'd rather use that instead.

Yeah, that would be cool. For an existing installation, though, an admin might have merge all existing mailboxes into the one actual mailbox to keep the confusion down.
