Renewing certificates
by Kenneth Porter 27 Dec '17

27 Dec '17

I'm setting up certbot/letsencrypt to provide a certificate for dovecot and sendmail. Is it necessary to restart dovecot to load the new certificate, as shown in most examples I find in blogs? That seems rude to established connections. When does dovecot read the cert and key files? Once at startup or each time a connection requests SSL? Is there a preferred locking protocol when changing the two files to keep dovecot from reading one while the other is being replaced and getting a mismatched pair?

zlib plugin aborts without zlib_save
by Adam Weinberger 26 Dec '17

26 Dec '17

This is in follow-up to https://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2017-December/110443.html I had mail_plugins = "zlib", but zlib_save wasn't set (my mailboxes were not compressed). It seems that when the zlib plugin is enabled, but zlib_save isn't set, the zlib plugin aborts on a regular basis---on a single-user system, I was seeing it about 150 times a day. Panic: file ostream-zlib.c: line 36 (o_stream_zlib_close): assertion failed: (zstream->ostream.finished || zstream->ostream.ostream.stream_errno != 0) Fatal: master: service(imap): child 80128 killed with signal 6 (core not dumped - set service imap { drop_priv_before_exec=yes }) Removing the (unused) zlib plugin made the errors disappear, at least. # Adam -- Adam Weinberger adamw(a)adamw.org http://www.adamw.org

Crash in sieve_extprogram_create() after dovecot/pigeonhole update
by Oleksandr Natalenko 25 Dec '17

25 Dec '17

Hi all. My dovecot setup: pf@vulcan:~ » dovecot --version 2.3.0 (c8b89eb) on Arch Linux, x86_64 (full config here: [0]) uses sieve plugin to train rspamd system as described in the wiki [1]. It used to work fine prior to 2.3.0/0.5.0 update, but now "imap" process crashes when I move spam letters from the inbox to the junk folder. I've recompiled both dovecot and pigeonhole with debug symbols and got this stacktrace [2]. As you can see, it fails (with a SIGSEGV) in sieve_extprogram_create(), sieve- extprograms-common.c:562, which corresponds to this code: === 562 if ( !smtp_address_isnull(msgdata->envelope.rcpt_params->orcpt.addr) ) { 563 program_client_set_env 564 (sprog->program_client, "ORIG_RECIPIENT", 565 smtp_address_encode(msgdata->envelope.rcpt_params- >orcpt.addr)); 566 } === When I dump msgdata structure, I see that rcpt_params is NULL: [3]. Thus, NULL pointer dereference occurs. Here is my report-spam.sieve file: [4] What I'm doing wrong here? Or is this some bug within pigeonhole? Could you please help me with resolving this? Thanks.

ssl_curve_list seems to be ignored with Dovecot 2.3
by Marcel Menzel 25 Dec '17

25 Dec '17

Hi all, after upgrading to Dovecot 2.3, I've noticed the new "ssl_curve_list" TLS option in 10-ssl.conf. Setting it to "ssl_curve_list = X25519:P-256" or leaving it blank (auto) does not change anything, Dovecot keeps on negotiating P-384: Server Temp Key: ECDH, P-384, 384 bits When using "-curves X25519" in s_client, it does a fallback to DH: Server Temp Key: DH, 4096 bits I'm on Dovecot 2.3.0 (c8b89eb) with OpenSSL 1.1.0g 2 Nov 2017 on Arch Linux 4.14.8-1-ARCH. Am I missing something here? OpenSSL 1.1 defaults to Curve25519 when leaving it on auto. Greetings, Marcel Menzel

Dovecot 2.3.0 generates all index files at once
by Andreas M. Kirchwitz 25 Dec '17

25 Dec '17

Merry Christmas! The brandnew Dovecot 2.3.0 seems to generate index (cache) files for all IMAP folders at once when a user logs in the first time. (Those "dovecot.index" files that live in ".imap" directories.) Previous versions generated these index files on demand when a folder was actually accessed (so if a folder was never used, no resources were wasted to ever generate an index file for it). For large mailboxes with lots of mail this may take hours, and during this time the user's mail client hangs (like Mutt) or exits with a timeout (like Thunderbird). Access to this user's mailbox hangs/fails with locking errors for obvious reasons. For fresh installations with pre-existing folders (but no index files yet) this kind of brings down the machine running Dovecot as soon as multiple users try to access their mail. I haven't analyzed the IMAP commands in detail. Just tried with Mutt and Thunderbird and they both trigger the issue. However, maybe Dovecot is just fine and the clients do something wrong which was just tolerated by Dovecot until now. My configuration is pretty simple: # 2.3.0 (c8b89eb): /usr/local/Dovecot-2.3.0/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-042stab124.2 i686 CentOS release 6.9 (Final) auth_mechanisms = plain login digest-md5 cram-md5 first_valid_gid = 1000 first_valid_uid = 1000 mail_location = mbox:~/Mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u passdb { args = /usr/local/dovecot/etc/dovecot/dovecot.passwd driver = passwd-file } protocols = imap ssl_cert = </usr/local/dovecot/etc/dovecot/certs/server.crt ssl_dh = # hidden, use -P to show it ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it userdb { args = /usr/local/dovecot/etc/dovecot/dovecot.passwd driver = passwd-file } verbose_proctitle = yes protocol imap { imap_client_workarounds = tb-extra-mailbox-sep tb-lsub-flags mail_max_userip_connections = 20 } Good news is, Dovecot 2.3.0 compiles without errors and it also runs fine once all index files have been created. Maybe there's a new configuration option to toggle this behaviour but I haven't spotted anything obvious yet. Any help is appreciated. Thanks a lot and keep up the good work, Andreas

Disable ssl validation for replication?
by Joseph Ward 24 Dec '17

24 Dec '17

Hi, I have two servers (HA configuration) on which I'm attempting to get replication working over SSL. They're at two different sites, but connected via a site-site VPN. Everything seems to be fine, except that the certificates are not validating as I'm using IP addresses for the sync, as opposed to the public hostnames for which the certificates are valid, and so I get the following error: doveadm(user@domain): Error: doveadm server disconnected before handshake: SSL certificate doesn't match expected host name 10.x.x.x I'm on Dovecot 2.2.33. Is there any way to disable the certificate checking/validation for the sync engine? ( I'm aware of at least a couple of fallback options: -have a self-signed cert for replication and use the Let's Encrypt one for IMAP/POP - create firewall rules allowing them to connect to each other over the public internet so that it can validate the proper cert These are both much less palatable than simply disabling the cert validation if it's possible. ) Thank you in advance for any assistance, Joseph

sieve_pipe_socket_dir not created at startup for configured pipe service
by Garth Corral 24 Dec '17

24 Dec '17

Hi, all I’m new to the list but not to dovecot. I’ve been using it in a basic configuration for some time, but finally decided to tweak my deployed system to take advantage of some more dovecot features. In particular I’m trying to set up pigeonhole to implement spam retraining with imapsieve. All of this is with dovecot 2.2.31 (65cde28) and pigeonhole 0.4.19. Before going any further let me start by saying that I have gotten all of this to work. It works when I can get dovecot to start up, that is. My configuration is pretty much straight from the docs, with a few tweaks for my particular needs. I’m trying to set up a pipe service using sieve-extprograms, and the relevant part of my config looks like this: plugin { sieve_pipe_input_eol = lf sieve_pipe_socket_dir = sieve-pipe sieve_filter_socket_dir = sieve-filter sieve_execute_socket_dir = sieve-execute sieve_pipe_bin_dir = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/sieve-pipe sieve_filter_bin_dir = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/sieve-filter sieve_execute_bin_dir = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/sieve-execute } service sieve-train-ham { executable = script /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/sieve-pipe/train-ham.sh # Needs access to dspam config and lockfiles. user = dspam # socket name is program-name in Sieve (without sieve-pipe/ prefix) unix_listener sieve-pipe/train-ham { } } It’s my understanding from reading the docs that the sieve_pipe_socket_dir specifies a directory that is relative to base_dir, which is the default /var/run/dovecot in my case. The issue I’m having is that dovecot will not start, and spews the following errors: dovecot: master: Error: bind(/var/run/dovecot/sieve-pipe/train-ham) failed: No such file or directory dovecot: master: Fatal: Failed to start listeners Once dovecot fails startup, it leaves /var/run/dovecot around and if I manually create the sieve-pipe directory there it will start up, create the sockets there and everything works as intended subsequently. The problem, though, is that on normal shutdown all of /var/run/dovecot goes away and the at the next startup it fails to start again. Needless to say this isn’t great for unintended reboots, etc. So, can anyone see anything obvious that I’m doing wrong? I’m just assuming that dovecot should create the needed subdir since I can’t find anything in the docs to suggest a way to create it otherwise. I’ve tried all I can think of at the moment to try to remedy this without success. I’m happy to provide additional details as needed to try to track this down. Thanks in advance, Garth

Dovecot 2.3-rc Logging Format
by Thomas Leuxner 24 Dec '17

24 Dec '17

Hi, the release candidate defaults to a log format with session IDs. mail_log_prefix = "%s(%u)<%{pid}><%{session}>: " As the LMTP service seems to have the session ID hardcoded, the IDs get duplicated in the logs: Dec 21 08:48:03 edi dovecot: lmtp(26573): Connect from local Dec 21 08:48:03 edi dovecot: lmtp(tlx(a)leuxner.net)[26573]: <fCVaBjNnO1rNZwAAIROLbg>: fCVaBjNnO1rNZwAAIROLbg: sieve: msgid=<2323281.OorJHhdMHM@ylum>, time=158ms, status=stored mail into mailbox ':public/Mailing-Lists/Debian-User' Dec 21 08:48:03 edi dovecot: lmtp(26573): Disconnect from local: Client has quit the connection (state = READY) Regards Thomas

Released Pigeonhole v0.5.0 for Dovecot v2.3.0.
by Stephan Bosch 24 Dec '17

24 Dec '17

Hello Dovecot users, Here's the definitive 0.5.0 release. There is one RC fix regarding the duplicate presence of the session ID in the LMTP/LDA log lines produced by the Sieve interpreter. Since this change is relative to the RC, it is not in the change log below. Changelog v0.5.0: * editheader extension: The implementation of header modifications is heavily updated. Although the functionality has not changed, the underlying code was updated to address several static analysis warnings, runtime integer arithmetic warnings (Clang), and to match updates in the Dovecot stream API. + variables extension: Made the maximum scope and variable size configurable. + subaddress: Support multiple recipient_delimiters. - enotify extension: mailto method: Fixed parsing of mailto URI with only a header part. - enotify plugin: mailto method: Make sure the "From:" header is set to a usable address and not "(null)". - Fixed writing address headers to outgoing messages. Sometimes headers were MIME-encoded twice, yielding invalid results. The release is available as follows: https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3-pigeonhole-0.5.0.ta… https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3-pigeonhole-0.5.0.ta… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x wiki for more information. Have fun testing this release and don't hesitate to notify me when there are any problems. Regards, -- Stephan Bosch stephan(a)rename-it.nl
