nfs_flush_chown_uid errors over NFS
by Johan Hendriks 18 Dec '17

18 Dec '17

Hello all, We use an older version of dovecot 2.0.19 on Ubuntu 12.04 using an NFS share, also a linux box. Now we want to migrate the storage to a FreeBSD server and later on the mailservers them self. In the firsts test all looks fine, but we do see some errors some times. Error: nfs_flush_chown_uid: chown(/var/mail/virtual/domain.com/user/Maildir) failed: Invalid argument This does not happen all the time but sometimes it shows up. I can read all the mail using an mailclient and the uid shows the user vmail:vmail. Is this cosmetic or is there something wrong? Thanks for your time Regards johan

Sieve with LDA
by Doug Hardie 18 Dec '17

18 Dec '17

I found an email that sieve stored in Deleted Messages incorrectly. The log messages show sieve doing that, but don't give me any indication of which sieve rule caused the problem. I went through it manually, but didn't see anything that matched. I seem to recall that there was a way to use sieve-test to show the rules and how they were applied, but I can't seem to get it to do that now. -- Doug

2.1 to 2.2 server migration Qs: sanity check, config ?
by voytek＠sbt.net.au 16 Dec '17

16 Dec '17

I have an old Centos 6 running dovecot 2.1.17 with Postfix 2.1x, mysql virtual domains, in the process of setting a new Centos 7 to migrate, copied /etc/dovecot, made some minor edits to get rid of errors, added Letsencrypt in place of self certified certs, it seems to work, using mail client I can log on StartSSL/110/143, TLS/995/993 with no visible errors when login on is there any other sanity checks I should do ? before I start putting users on it ? attaching dovecot.conf at the end, appreciate any suggestion or correction I see a lot of these warning, are they benign? #grep Warning /var/log/dovecot.log | wc 74 1102 6900 # wc /var/log/dovecot.log 174 2299 19716 /var/log/dovecot.log Dec 16 00:57:12 auth: Warning: auth client 0 disconnected with 1 pending requests: Connection reset by peer Dec 16 00:57:52 auth: Warning: auth client 0 disconnected with 1 pending requests: EOF Dec 16 00:57:59 auth: Warning: auth client 0 disconnected with 1 pending requests: Connection reset by peer ( as I've re used an old host name, I can see some users already trying to connect, they must've never removed this server name when it was shut down, perhaps they're generating these errors, repeatedly logging on ?) # doveadm who username # proto (pids) (ips) five(a)aaa.com.au 1 imap (9047) (35.196.255.170) seven(a)aaa.com.au 1 imap (9056) (104.196.21.108) eight(a)aaa.com.au 1 imap (9062) (35.196.255.170) five(a)aa.com.au 2 imap (9240 9044) (203.194.43.48 35.196.255.170) six(a)aa.com.au 2 imap (9248 9063) (203.194.43.48 35.185.44.87) postbox(a)aa.com.au 1 imap (9057) (104.196.178.232) eight(a)aa.com.au 2 imap (9244 9050) (203.194.43.48 35.196.255.170) seven(a)aa.com.au 2 imap (9055 9242) (104.196.21.108 203.194.43.48) six(a)aaa.com.au 1 imap (9054) (35.185.44.87) doveconf -n -c /etc/dovecot/test/dovecot.conf > /etc/dovecot/test/dovecot.conf.new # cat dovecot.conf.new # 2.2.33.2 (d6601f4ec): /etc/dovecot/test/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.4.21 (92477967) # OS: Linux 3.10.0-693.11.1.el7.x86_64 x86_64 CentOS Linux release 7.4.1708 (Core) auth_master_user_separator = * auth_mechanisms = PLAIN LOGIN dict { acl = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-share-folder.conf quotadict = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-used-quota.conf } first_valid_uid = 2000 last_valid_uid = 2000 listen = * log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log mail_gid = 2000 mail_location = maildir:/%Lh/Maildir/:INDEX=/%Lh/Maildir/ mail_plugins = quota mail_uid = 2000 managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date index ihave duplicate mime foreverypart extracttext namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = separator = / type = private } namespace { list = children location = maildir:/%%Lh/Maildir/:INDEX=/%%Lh/Maildir/Shared/%%u prefix = Shared/%%u/ separator = / subscriptions = yes type = shared } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql.conf driver = sql } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-master-users-password driver = passwd-file master = yes } plugin { acl = vfile acl_shared_dict = proxy::acl auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master autocreate = INBOX autocreate2 = Sent autocreate3 = Trash autocreate4 = Drafts autocreate5 = Junk autosubscribe = INBOX autosubscribe2 = Sent autosubscribe3 = Trash autosubscribe4 = Drafts autosubscribe5 = Junk quota = dict:user::proxy::quotadict quota_rule = *:storage=1G quota_warning = storage=85%% quota-warning 85 %u quota_warning2 = storage=90%% quota-warning 90 %u quota_warning3 = storage=95%% quota-warning 95 %u sieve = /%Lh/sieve/dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = /%Lh/sieve sieve_global_dir = /var/vmail/sieve sieve_global_path = /var/vmail/sieve/dovecot.sieve } protocols = pop3 imap sieve service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/dovecot-auth { group = postfix mode = 0666 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-master { group = vmail mode = 0666 user = vmail } unix_listener auth-userdb { group = vmail mode = 0660 user = vmail } } service dict { unix_listener dict { group = vmail mode = 0660 user = vmail } } service imap-login { process_limit = 500 service_count = 1 } service pop3-login { service_count = 1 } service quota-warning { executable = script /usr/local/bin/dovecot-quota-warning.sh unix_listener quota-warning { group = vmail mode = 0660 user = vmail } } ssl = required ssl_cert = </etc/letsencrypt/..fullchain.pem ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql.conf driver = sql } protocol lda { auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master lda_mailbox_autocreate = yes log_path = /var/log/sieve.log mail_plugins = quota sieve autocreate postmaster_address = root } protocol imap { imap_client_workarounds = tb-extra-mailbox-sep mail_max_userip_connections = 60 mail_plugins = quota imap_quota } protocol pop3 { mail_plugins = quota pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv } #

Dovecot path separator clarification
by Davide Marchi 15 Dec '17

15 Dec '17

Hi Friends, On Debian Jessie and Dovecot 1:2.2.x using the default separator "/" (simply leave commented 10-mail.conf -> "#separator =") I've create for a vuser (from client) a subfolder Scuola/prova on server side, Dovecot create: ../Maildir/.Scuola.prova Here my question: why not ../Maildir/Scuola/prova ? Where I'm wrong? Many thanks! Davide

Why not make: contains "X-Spam-Status" "YES" a single string: contains "X-Spam-Status: YES" that would be more precise and avoid this issue.

Well, I've read the dsync documentation, but this warning has me a little worried: "Make sure destination is exactly as source, deleting/reverting any changes in destination if necessary" So I followed the Imapsync way, and all works fine. I seem to have understood thatImapsync works as a traditional client,for this reason also much easier to use and with less mistakes risk. And anyway a software done very well ;-) x9p wrote:> I do not believe imapsync has license issues. Its written in perl and its > hosted on github.

sieve filter move wrong email to Junk folder
by Gao 15 Dec '17

15 Dec '17

I use a sieve filter to move spam email to user's Junk folder: # cat spam_to_junk.sieve require "fileinto"; if exists "X-Spam-Status" { if header :contains "X-Spam-Status" "YES" { fileinto "Junk"; stop; } else { } } if header :contains "subject" ["SPAM?"] { fileinto "Junk"; stop; } Most time this filter works fine but occasionally it move non-spam in to Junk folder. Here is an example, this email is from dovecot mailling list and it end up in my Junk folder. Mailllog and header here. Would someone help me to figure out what went wrong here? Thanks.

doveadm log reopen not works with 2.2.33
by Alessio Cecchi 14 Dec '17

14 Dec '17

Hi, after the upgrade from dovecot 2.2.32 to 2.2.33 we notice that the /var/log/director/director.log was empty and the log are write in the logrotate file es. /var/log/director/director.log-20171201. Log path is dovecot is: log_path = /var/log/director/director.log Logrotate configuration is: /var/log/director/director.log { daily rotate 31 missingok notifempty compress delaycompress sharedscripts postrotate doveadm -i director log reopen endscript } and worked fine until the last dovecot upgrade. Now the only way to "reopen" the log file is doveadm reload. Is this a know bug? Thanks -- Alessio Cecchi Postmaster @ http://www.qboxmail.it https://www.linkedin.com/in/alessice
