Selective authentication mechanism
by Brian Topping 16 Feb '18

16 Feb '18

Hi all! I have been using GSSAPI authentication method for all my externally reachable endpoints for some time under the theory that they cannot be hit with a dictionary attack. Unfortunately, this means iOS devices cannot log in since they (oddly) cannot use GSSAPI. I say “oddly” because desktop Mac mail can use GSSAPI just fine and https://samuelyates.wordpress.com/2013/10/11/kerberos-single-sign-on-in-ios… goes through how to set it up for web pages. In any event, what I’m looking to do is use a filter (https://wiki.dovecot.org/ConfigFile#Filters) around the auth_mechanisms such that it will allow plain authentication when the client is on a local network or the VPN. Unfortunately, the fine print on filters says "These filters work for most of the settings, but most importantly auth settings currently only support the protocol filter”. I guess it’s kind of academic, but I thought I’d ask why this is a limitation? If there is not a profound security reason to not support this, is this a good enough use case to consider it? Thanks! Brian

ACLs, shared, public, virtual mailboxes not working
by David Mehler 15 Feb '18

15 Feb '18

Hello, I'm running Dovecot 2.2.3, and am having issues with my public folders, shared folders, and virtual/ALl folders apparently ACLs are on that list as well. I was debugging an unrelated problem with my smtp server and got the following dovecot debug log output. Below is also a doveconf -n output as well as my shared-folder definition file and my global-acls file. What I'm trying to accomplish is: 1. Have a public folder that any user on the system can put messages into and respond to. 2. Have a shared folder in which user1(a)example.com and user1(a)example2.com can exchange messages. 3. For each user on the system give them a Virtual/All folder for *all of their messages. I'd appreciate any help. As an aside if anyone sees an issue with my SSL ciphers list i'd appreciate knowing that as well, in brief I'm trying to get the most secure list, pfs, and not worrying about backware compatibility. If it's not TLS 1.2 I don't touch it. Thanks. Dave.

Segfault on selecting mailbox twice in a row
by John van der Kamp 15 Feb '18

15 Feb '18

Hi, I was doing some testing with new 2.2 changes. I’m using commit 15d5b8a from origin/master-2.2. The setup is using imapc to connect to a different imap server. If I use the following commands, dovecot will crash every time: A login username password B select inbox C select inbox The logfile snippit is at the end of the mail. Let me know if you need more information.

Re: Problem with CentOS package for 2.3.0 and old dependency in systemd with clean install

Ok thanks, for the moment : can I just delete the lines in the dovecot-init.service file or what is proposed here? It's no problem for me to make the necessary changes I just need to know which of them because I don't know if you just need this fiel internally or not.

doveadm with wildcard users?
by ＠lbutlr 15 Feb '18

# 2.2.33.2 (d6601f4ec): If I do doveadm index -u user "*" for a local user, it works fine, but if I do doveadm -u "*(a)sqldomain.tld" "*" or doveadm -u "*(a)localaliasdomain.tld" "*" or doveadm -u "*(a)localdomain.tld" "*" or doveadm -u "user(a)localdomain.tld" "*" it fails, … -u "user(a)sqldomain.tld" Seems to work <https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Doveadm/Index> -u user/mask Run the command only for the given user. It's also possible to use '*' and '?' wildcards (e.g. -u *(a)example.org)

Problem with CentOS package for 2.3.0 and old dependency in systemd with clean install
by TG Servers 14 Feb '18

14 Feb '18

Hi, you definitely have a problem with the packages out of your own repo for version 2.3.0 and CentOS. And this is only if you do a clean install, meaning there was no lower dovecot version ever running on the system. If you want to 'systemctl start dovecot' it breaks with a dependency error which comes from dovecot-init.service. dovecot-init.service : [Unit] Description=One-time Dovecot init service ConditionPathExists=|!/var/lib/dovecot/ssl-parameters.dat ConditionPathExists=|!/etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem [Service] Type=oneshot RemainAfterExit=no ExecStart=/bin/sh -c '\ if [ ! -f /etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem ]; \ then\ SSLDIR=/etc/pki/dovecot/ OPENSSLCONFIG=/etc/pki/dovecot/dovecot-openssl.cnf /usr/libexec/dovecot/mkcert.sh /dev/null 2>&1;\ fi;\ if [ ! -f /var/lib/dovecot/ssl-parameters.dat ]; \ then\ /usr/libexec/dovecot/ssl-params >/dev/null 2>&1; \ fi' It wants to call /usr/libexec/dovecot/ssl-params if /var/lib/dovecot/ssl-parameters.dat (which is deprecated now as I understood) is not existing. The problem is in 2.3.0 /usr/libexec/dovecot/ssl-params is not existent anymore. This error does not occur if you for instance install 2.2.x from the base repo, start it once, and then update the version from your repo. This is because the ssl-parameters.dat was created with the old version then. But this should not be the expected behaviour I think. It should be possible to do a fresh install of 2.3.0 on a fresh system. Can you please get back to me on that? Thanks, Thomas

In https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Doveadm/Sync#section_arguments the destination list 5 possible options for the destination but in the page on migration https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Migration/Dsync it seems to use a sixth undocumented "imapc:" option for destination e.g. doveadm -o mail_fsync=never backup -R -u user@domain imapc: "imapc:" is also referenced on https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Migration/Gmail Is https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Doveadm/Sync#section_arguments missing this option?

deny passdb match messages logged only with auth_verbose=yes
by Marco Giunta 13 Feb '18

13 Feb '18

Hi at all, using deny passwd to restrict IMAP/POP3 access (https://wiki.dovecot.org/Authentication/RestrictAccess) I get deny passdb match messages: Feb 13 16:09:33 server-02 dovecot: auth: passwd-file(USERNAME,10.10.10.46,<9hzaYRllbsCTehgu>): User found from deny passdb only with auth_verbose=yes, sets global or defined in passdb block. But if I set auth_verbose=yes, for every user not present in passwd-file, Dovecot logs: Feb 13 16:09:57 server-02 dovecot: auth: passwd-file(USERNAME,10.10.10.46,<9hzaYRllbsCTehgu>): unknown user I know that if the account does not exist in the first passdb (deny passdb), then the error occur, even if it exists in the other passdb. This is normal, but auth_verbose shouldn't be used only to " Log unsuccessful authentication attempts and the reasons why they failed." ?? Again, I'm not a programmer, but 'auth_request_log_info' function in 'https://github.com/dovecot/core/blob/release-2.2.33/src/auth/auth-request.c' seems to log events only when 'auth_verbose=yes'. Is there another way to get deny passdb match messages, without enable verbose log ?

dovecot: master: Panic: kevent() failed: Invalid argument
by Adrian Gonzalez 13 Feb '18

13 Feb '18

Hello I've been seeing these panics with dovecot 2.2.31 (and older versions) under FreeBSD about once every 2-3 months or so. I know it's been discussed here in the list, but I didn't see a definitive fix. If it's been fixed, please ignore this post (sorry!). I finally managed to observe the bug on a server that has the patch that prints out the kevent() timespec values and got: Nov 29 16:46:27 mail dovecot: master: Panic: kevent(events=74, ts=59.1000000000) failed: Invalid argument Looking through the code, the panic is triggered in io_loop_handler_run_internal(). The timeout values for the kevent() call are obtained by calling io_loop_get_wait_time(), which in turn calls timeout_get_wait_time() (both in ioloop.c). The timeout is computed by subtracting the value returned by gettimeofday() from timeout->next_run, and it looks like in very rare cases the result in tv_r->tv_usec is 1000000uS (1 second). So, it seems that if gettimeofday() returns exactly 0 microseconds, and timeout->next_run has exactly 1000000 microseconds, the kevent() call will fail (1 in 1e12 chance?). I'm not entirely sure where timeout->next_run is computed, but looking at timeout_update_next(), it adjusts the seconds only if the microseconds are greater than 1000000: (ioloop.c, line 235) if (timeout->next_run.tv_usec > 1000000) { timeout->next_run.tv_sec++; timeout->next_run.tv_usec -= 1000000; } It seems like the comparison here should be greater or equal, but I'm not familiar enough with the code to say with absolute certainty. I added more debug error messages to the code in timeout_update_next(), and although I do see next_run->tv_usec at 1000000 several times a day, I haven't seen a panic since early December on any of our servers, so I decided to post this to see if this analysis makes sense.
