Hi at all, I have a RHEL7 server with Dovecot 2.3.0 (new installation). I've a problem when trying to dsync from a Dovecot 2.2.24 server. If I try to sync any user with a folder with ACL, dsycn crash with panic: Source server: dsync-local(USERNAME): Debug: sieve: file storage: sync: Synchronization active dovecot: dsync-local(USERNAME): Debug: acl vfile: reading file /var/spool/mail/U/USERNAME/dovecot-acl dsync-local(USERNAME): Error: read(DEST_SERVER.example.com) failed: EOF (last sent=mail_change (EOL), last recv=mailbox) Destination server: Feb 2 14:15:23 DEST_SERVER dovecot: dsync-server(USERNAME): Panic: file mailbox-attribute.c: line 362 (mailbox_attribute_get_stream): assertion failed: (value_r->value != NULL || value_r->value_stream != NULL) Feb 2 14:15:23 DEST_SERVER dovecot: dsync-server(USERNAME): Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0xc8cc4) [0x7fa861bc0cc4] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0xc8d7e) [0x7fa861bc0d7e] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_fatal+0) [0x7fa861b34190] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(+0x55cbc) [0x7fa861ec1cbc] -> dovecot/doveadm-server [10.0.11.137 USERNAME INBOX send:mail_requests recv:attributes](dsync_mailbox_import_attribute+0x4d) [0x55b9d4ce215d] -> dovecot/doveadm-server [10.0.11.137 USERNAME INBOX send:mail_requests recv:attributes](dsync_brain_sync_mails+0x2ef) [0x55b9d4cddbdf] -> dovecot/doveadm-server [10.0.11.137 USERNAME INBOX send:mail_requests recv:attributes](dsync_brain_run+0x2b0) [0x55b9d4cd93e0] -> dovecot/doveadm-server [10.0.11.137 USERNAME INBOX send:mail_requests recv:attributes](+0x43a10) [0x55b9d4cd9a10] -> dovecot/doveadm-server [10.0.11.137 USERNAME INBOX send:mail_requests recv:attributes](+0x5837f) [0x55b9d4cee37f] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_call_io+0x65) [0x7fa861bd82b5] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run_internal+0x10f) [0x7fa861bd9b5f] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0x52) [0x7fa861bd83b2] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x38) [0x7fa861bd85d8] -> dovecot/doveadm-server [10.0.11.137 USERNAME INBOX send:mail_requests recv:attributes](+0x28369) [0x55b9d4cbe369] -> dovecot/doveadm-server [10.0.11.137 USERNAME INBOX send:mail_requests recv:attributes](+0x29c07) [0x55b9d4cbfc07] -> dovecot/doveadm-server [10.0.11.137 USERNAME INBOX send:mail_requests recv:attributes](+0x3f969) [0x55b9d4cd5969] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_call_io+0x65) [0x7fa861bd82b5] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run_internal+0x10f) [0x7fa861bd9b5f] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0x52) [0x7fa861bd83b2] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x38) [0x7fa861bd85d8] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(master_service_run+0x13) [0x7fa861b56b23] -> dovecot/doveadm-server [10.0.11.137 USERNAME INBOX send:mail_requests recv:attributes](main+0x1b6) [0x55b9d4cb0536] -> /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf5) [0x7fa861756c05] -> dovecot/doveadm-server [10.0.11.137 USERNAME INBOX send:mail_requests recv:attributes](+0x1a5f5) [0x55b9d4cb05f5] Feb 2 14:15:23 DEST_SERVER dovecot: dsync-server(USERNAME): Fatal: master: service(doveadm): child 2149 killed with signal 6 (core dumped) Coredump and configuration attached.

Re: How to grant user access to his .dovecot.sieve.log?
by Sergey Ivanov 04 Feb '18

04 Feb '18

Hi Gabriel, I'm trying to implement what you suggested using apache mod_userdir with === UserDir /srv/dovecot <DirectoryMatch "^/srv/dovecot/(?<WHICHUSER>[^/]+)"> Require user %{env:MATCH_WHICHUSER} DirectoryIndex .dovecot.sieve.log ... </DirectoryMatch> === I still need to find how to set up right permissions for these logs without too much brute force. It looks like this way I can get what I want, but I really hoped to find some better way: my Roundcube installation is on the load-balanced web farm and there is no and should not be a file access to these logs. I think such a feature as Sieve compiler must have some standard way to say what is wrong to the author of the Sieve script. -- Sergey.

Dual Dovecot setup
by dovecot.dirk＠o.banes.ch 03 Feb '18

03 Feb '18

Hi all, I´m using dovecot successfully since some years. My current setup is postfix and dovecot on one vserver. This works great so far. +--------------------+ eMail in | VSERVER1 | +---------->+ MX 1 (Master) | | POSTFIX MTA | | DOVECOT ALL Folders| +-----^--------------+ | |eMail Backup | | +------+---------+ | VSERVER2 | eMail in | MX 2 (Backup) | Backup | POSTFIX MTA | +---------> | +----------------+ However now I want to change this setup to have on box in my home which holds all eMails and Folders which are not in the Inbox. This is due to disk space and privacy concerns. Even if the home connection is very very stable for the case something fails while on vacation the content of the inbox of every user should always stay on the VSERVER1 as well - until it is moved to one subfolder. +---------------+ +-------------+ eMail in | VSERVER1 | | HOMEBOX | +---------->+ MX 1 (Master) | ?SYNC? | DOVECOT | | POSTFIX MTA +--------------> ALL FOLDERS | | DOVECOT INBOX | | | +-----^---------+ +-------------+ | |eMail Backup | | +------+---------+ | VSERVER2 | eMail in | MX 2 (Backup) | Backup | POSTFIX MTA | +---------> | +----------------+ I read into documentation and also did a fair share of googeling but I could only identify possible solutions which I´m not sure they will work. a) dsync - Can dsync only sync the Inbox ? b) fetchmail - Unsure how an eMail moved from Inbox (Homebox) to another folder would get removed from the inbox of the vserver1 Therefore I hope maybe someone of you has an idea how this can be archived. Thank you best regards Dirk

dovecot-lda won't cause mail to be filtered by sieve
by Volker Wysk 03 Feb '18

03 Feb '18

Hi I'm changing from fetchmail to getmail, in order to fetch my mail from several mail servers and deliver it to my local dovecot server. Fetchmail supports LMTP, getmail doesn't. So I'm making getmail call dovecot-lda for delivering the mail. But now, the incoming mail doesn't get filtered through sieve any longer. However, this command works: sieve-filter -v -u v ~v/.dovecot.sieve INBOX -e -W expunge Any ideas? Greetings V.W.

AuthDatabase CheckPassword broken?
by Mark Foley 02 Feb '18

02 Feb '18

I had been using the CheckPassword authentication interface with dovecot 2.2.15, https://wiki2.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/CheckPassword, and it was working. After upgrading to 2.2.33.2 CheckPassword no longer works. The referenced wiki page says, Checkpassword Interface Read <username> NUL <password> NUL from fd 3. I've checked the information read from fd 3 with 2.2.33.2 and I get <username> followed by 3 nulls. I'm guessing the 2nd null is supposed to be the password. Why is this no longer working? How can I fix it? THX --Mark

lda: Warning: Failed to parse return-path header: Invalid character in localpart
by Christian Authmann 01 Feb '18

01 Feb '18

Hello, Sometimes, when delivering mails, this warning appears in my syslog: > lda(...): Warning: Failed to parse return-path header: Invalid character in localpart dovecot-lda still exits with 0 and the mail is inserted into my inbox. Looking at the mails in question, I determined that the error is caused by a multiline Return-Path header. Here's a testcase: --- snip --- Return-Path: <nowhere(a)example.com> From: "Nowhere" <nowhere(a)example.com> To: redacted(a)example.com Subject: Testcase for lda warnings Date: Wed, 31 Jan 2018 12:00:00 +0000 This is a message body. --- snap --- Copy into a file, with \r\n line endings, then run something like this: > cat testcase.txt | /usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda -e -d '<username>' with a username recognized by your running dovecot installation. The header is 'Return-Path:', \r\n, two spaces, '<...>', \r\n According to rfc2822 folding rules, that should be valid - the Return-Path header allows CFWS at that location. The error message originates in lib-lda/mail-deliver.c in mail_deliver_get_return_address(), while the invalid character message seems to originate from one of several places in lib-lda/mail-deliver.c Ciao, Christian Authmann

Why does dovecot reject password when authorizing by a certificate?
by yuryb 01 Feb '18

01 Feb '18

We have FreeBSD-server with dovecot installed on it as IMAP-server. My user and password database is a text file with plaintext passwords. Clients connect to imap-server via TLS protocol and plaintext password. All works fine. But I want to configure ability to authorize with a client certificates. I have generated a client certificate and imported it to email-client. Also I have configured dovecot to verify client certificates. But email-client cannot authorize: Password mismatch. Why dovecot reject my password in this case? Please help!
