doveadm expunge returns error code 68
by Florian Lohoff 11 Sep '17

11 Sep '17

Hi, i am running basically this from cron: /usr/bin/doveadm -v expunge -u * mailbox INBOX.Spam SENTBEFORE 90d /usr/bin/doveadm -v expunge -u * mailbox INBOX.Trash SENTBEFORE 90d /usr/bin/doveadm -v expunge -u * mailbox INBOX.Junk SENTBEFORE 90d Now i am experiencing that the first line e.g. expunging INBOX.Spam returns the error code 68. No syslog/Output whatsoever. I tried running with -vvv -D which gives me a lot of output (for all mailboxes) but still i am unable to pinpoint the problem. The later 2 commands return "0" as expected. Where does the error return code come from and what does 68 mean? Flo -- Florian Lohoff f(a)zz.de UTF-8 Test: The 🐈 ran after a 🐁, but the 🐁 ran away

Dovecot and Letsencrypt certs
by ＠lbutlr 11 Sep '17

11 Sep '17

So this morning at 4am I was awoken to my mail clients getting certificate errors for an expired certificate. I hopped on to the server and checked and… no, the LE certs renewed last month and are valid until November. After some moments of confusion I noticed that dovecot had been running since before the renewal, so I did a quick service dovecot restart which fixed everything. Should dovecot check for certs being refreshed? Or is this an artifact of my using symbolic links everywhere to point to the newest LE certs (which are themselves links the dehydrate script creates to point to the newest cert-1502534746.csr etc files? Should I just create a monthly cron to restart dovecot or is there something else? -- Apple broke AppleScripting signatures in Mail.app, so no random signatures.

Share Website certificate with SSL/STL Dovecot IMAP and Postifix SMTP
by Marco Marco 10 Sep '17

10 Sep '17

Hi guys, I've bought a certificate from the authority for my website to use to access in https mode. Is it possible to share the same pairs to authenticate the emails sent by postfix and Dovecot in order to avoid that client as Hotmail.it or Gmail intercept these as Spam? Thank you

Embeding a path in address extensions
by ＠lbutlr 09 Sep '17

09 Sep '17

I generate bcc backups with the pattern backups+DATE.user.domain.tld(a)myBackupDomain.tld (for example, backups+20170908.kremels.kreme.com(a)myBackupDomain.tld) This puts mail in …/.20170908.kremels.kreme.com/new What I would like to do is get the expansion to generate the following path …/.20170908/.kremels.kreme.com/new Of course the date changes everyday, but it will always be numeric if that helps. dovecot get the mail from postfix: dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vpopmail:vchkpw argv=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -f ${sender} -d ${user}@${nexthop} -m ${extension} -a ${original_recipient} Would it make more sense (or is it even possible) to split the extension in postfix or to do something with sieve? Or is there a character I can use in the extension that tells dovecot to create a path? Even though I am using a maildir structure for the backups, this "account" never accesses the mail via a MUA, only via the command line when an admin has to restore an email, so it would be much easier to deal with this with daily subfolders. Or, maybe I make the admins use an MUA? If so, I should replace most of these .'s with dashes… -- Apple broke AppleScripting signatures in Mail.app, so no random signatures.

can't get quota working. I use static userdb driver.
by Вадим Бажов 08 Sep '17

08 Sep '17

Hi, people ! Set up global quota according to docs to 2 Mb. Send more than ten Mb on the box. Mail still getting put in the box, no bounces, no error messages in logs, nothing to prevent mail to be delivered in overflooded mailbox. quota settings are: mail_plugins = quota lmtp_rcpt_check_quota = yes quota_full_tempfail = yes protocol lmtp { postmaster_address = postmaster # required mail_plugins = $mail_plugins sieve } protocol lda { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins sieve } protocol imap { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins imap_quota } plugin { quota = maildir:"User quota" quota_rule = *:storage=10M quota_rule3 = INBOX.Trash:storage=+10%% quota_exceeded_message = "552 5.2.2 Mailbox is full" } doveconf -n is attached. # doveadm quota get Quota name Type Value Limit % "User quota" STORAGE 0 10240 0 "User quota" MESSAGE 0 - # doveadm quota get -u vadim Quota name Type Value Limit % "User quota" STORAGE 0 10240 0 "User quota" MESSAGE 0 - # du -sh /var/mail/vadim/ 23M /var/mail/vadim/ I tried to pass quota_rule as an argument to userdb, quota is being parsed, but still doesn't work. I think problem is that dovecot can't (re)calculate the actual quota on disc (cant calculate how disk space mailbox is used), despite the fact that quota limit itself is configured correctly, since dovecot shows it in log and doveconf -n. What I am dong wrong ?

EOF from net_disconnect(fd)
by Steffan Cline 08 Sep '17

08 Sep '17

I’m working on an OS project from github. There are two parts: Dovecot plugin - https://github.com/st3fan/dovecot-xaps-plugin Daemon written in Go - https://github.com/st3fan/dovecot-xaps-daemon # dovecot --version 2.2.10 Both parts worked fine on CentOS 6 but I recently rebuilt them both for CentOS 7 and have run into some errors. The plugin sends a notification over a socket to the daemon. The daemon then processes the request and returns a message to the plugin. The plugin reads the response then closes the socket and at that point, I’m running into an issue. The daemon reports the following: read unix /tmp/xapsd.sock->@: read: connection reset by peer In reading the Go language docs, it says that it will throw the first error it hits before the EOF from the socket. This led me to think that perhaps the plugin was not sending an EOF when closing the socket. I tried to write an EOF to the socket before the close but no change. Everything works between the plugin and daemon right up until the socket close. Is there a way to monitor the stream through the socket so I can see if the plugin is indeed sending the EOF? Knowing that lets me know if I need to chase down the issue in the Go daemon code. I’m no pro with C but I tried. The snippet from the plugin follows: alarm(1); { if (net_transmit(fd, str_data(req), str_len(req)) < 0) { i_error("write(%s) failed: %m", socket_path); ret = -1; } else { char res[1024]; ret = net_receive(fd, res, sizeof(res)-1); if (ret < 0) { i_error("read(%s) failed: %m", socket_path); } else { res[ret] = '\0'; if (strncmp(res, "OK ", 3) == 0) { ret = 0; } } } } alarm(0); char stx[1]; stx[0]=(char) 4; //stx[1]='\0'; if ( net_transmit(fd, stx, sizeof(stx) ) < 0 ) { i_error("Error writing EOF"); } //string_t *testEOF= t_str_new(2); //str_append(testEOF, (char*) 4); //if ( net_transmit(fd, str_data(testEOF), str_len(testEOF) ) < 0 ) { // i_error("Error writing EOF"); // } //i_close_fd(&fd); net_disconnect(fd); fd=-1; Thank you, Steffan Cline 602-793-0014

Automatic DB password hash scheme selection
by Kurt Fitzner 08 Sep '17

08 Sep '17

Hi all, Is there a way to get dovecot to recognize arbitrary password hash schemes when looking up a password in a database? I originally set up with #default_pass_scheme = MD5, and I would like to migrate to SHA512. Seeing as the scheme is actually stored in the password column along with the password in the format $_<scheme#>_$_<salt>_$_<passwordhash>_, it seems to me that dovecot should be able to look at the scheme number and simply do the right thing. If this is possible, then migrating passwords over would be much easier, since people will still be able to log in with their old MD5-hashed password and the changer can be set up to hash with the new method. Is this possible currently? Thanks, Kurt

Hide public mailboxes from some users
by Arie Peterson 08 Sep '17

08 Sep '17

Hi all, I'm trying to set up public mailboxes for a subset of my users. This is on dovecot 2.2.27. I've created a new public namespace, and the new mailboxes indeed show up for everyone. So far so good. Now I want to restrict access: these mailboxes shouldn't be visible at all except to a fixed list of users. This part I can't seem to get working. I've added acl data along these lines: ``` pubbox anyone pubbox/* anyone pubbox user=me(a)example.com lrwstipekxa pubbox/* user=me(a)example.com lrwstipekxa ``` However, other users can still see "pubbox" and its subfolders, although they can't actually view the contents. This is corroborated by some of the output of `doveadm mailbox list`: ``` # doveadm -D mailbox list -u other(a)example.com … doveadm(other(a)example.com): Debug: Namespace : type=public, prefix=pubbox/, sep=/, inbox=no, hidden=no, list=children, subscriptions=no … doveadm(other(a)example.com): Debug: Mailbox 'pubbox/Drafts' matches global ACL pattern 'pubbox/*' doveadm(other(a)example.com): Debug: Mailbox 'pubbox/Drafts' matches global ACL pattern 'pubbox/*' doveadm(other(a)example.com): Debug: acl vfile: reading file /mnt/data/mail/example.com/public/pubbox/mail/Drafts/dovecot-acl doveadm(other(a)example.com): Debug: acl: No lookup right to mailbox: pubbox/Drafts doveadm(other(a)example.com): Debug: Mailbox 'pubbox/Sent' matches global ACL pattern 'pubbox/*' doveadm(other(a)example.com): Debug: Mailbox 'pubbox/Sent' matches global ACL pattern 'pubbox/*' doveadm(other(a)example.com): Debug: acl vfile: reading file /mnt/data/mail/example.com/public/pubbox/mail/Sent/dovecot-acl doveadm(other(a)example.com): Debug: acl: No lookup right to mailbox: pubbox/Sent doveadm(other(a)example.com): Debug: Mailbox 'pubbox' matches global ACL pattern 'pubbox' doveadm(other(a)example.com): Debug: Mailbox 'pubbox' matches global ACL pattern 'pubbox' doveadm(other(a)example.com): Debug: acl vfile: reading file /mnt/data/mail/example.com/public/pubbox/mail/dovecot-acl pubbox pubbox/Drafts pubbox/Sent INBOX ``` Why do these "pubbox/*" mailboxes show up in the `mailbox list` output, even though the debug messages say that the user has no lookup right for them? `doveadm acl rights` seems to confirm that `other(a)example.com` does not have the lookup right for these mailboxes. So why do they show up in their email clients anyway? Thanks for any advice!

password reset
by ＠lbutlr 08 Sep '17

08 Sep '17

This is off topic, but I am not sure where to go. I have a local user who cannot login because of a forgotten password, so I went to reset her password with sudo passed <user> Which appears to work, asking for a new password and a confirmation. No error occurs (unless I give it unmatched passwords), but the password is not changed. if I try to change the password in the user's account (after su <user>) t requires the old password. running on FreeBSD 11.0 When I try to change the password with sudo, the timestamp on /etc/passwd gets updated but there is nothing logged to anything in /var/log/
