Issue with parsing of forwarded messages with attachments and quotes in the subject
by Giovanni Salvatore Fois 02 May '17

02 May '17

Hi all, at work we use Roundcube acting as a mail client for the Dovecot Imap server. In Roundube the messages are parsed through the Imap BODYSTRUCTURE command If a message contains forwarded messages and attachments and some of the messages contains a quote (") in the subject, then the resulting BODYSTRUCTURE appears to be malformed. --- After some digging through the code of Dovecot, it seems to me that the problem is related to the function: imap_append_string_for_humans defined at the line 120 of the file src/lib-imap/imap-quote.c (dovecot sources v. 2.2.29) Said function is supposed to return a quoted version of the input string while removing unwanted characters from the input data. But, if I call it with a string containing quotes as argument (eg: I am a lazy " programmer) in the resulting output the quotes aren't escaped and the output string is not quoted. ---- This is related to the stated issue through the function calls in: part_write_body [ defined at line 142 of imap-bodystructure.c ] which calls imap_envelope_write [defined at line 46 of imap-envelope.c] which finally calls imap_append_string_for_humans ---- Thank you for your time. Best regards, Giovanni S. Fois

Dovecot 2.2 maildir replication issue
by Joelly Alexander 01 May '17

01 May '17

Hello, I'm just trying to setup two mailservers with dovecot 2.2, postfix, mysql, postfixadmin where i would like to sync the maildirs between them; I'm at the point where sending/receiving and qouta is working and try the maildir replication but it only creates the maildir directories (as example: /srv/vmail/test.domain/screenie/) on the second server but nothing inside the maildir is copied over; Both servers are setup identical except the things which have to be different (ssl certs and mail_replica node entries); This is what i'm getting in the log but stuck at: dsync-server(screenie(a)test.domain): Error: User has no home directory I assume it's the user_query in dovecot-sql.conf.ext but not 100% sure nor an idea to fix it; May 1 18:09:48 mx1 dovecot: doveadm(192.168.1.10,screenie(a)test.domain): Debug: auth input: user=screenie(a)test.domain May 1 18:09:48 mx1 dovecot: doveadm(192.168.1.10,screenie(a)test.domain): Debug: auth input: screenie(a)test.domain mail=maildir:/srv/vmail/test.domain/screenie/ quota_rule=*:bytes=102400000 uid=5000 gid=5000 May 1 18:09:48 mx1 dovecot: doveadm(192.168.1.10,screenie(a)test.domain): Debug: Added userdb setting: mail=maildir:/srv/vmail/test.domain/screenie/ May 1 18:09:48 mx1 dovecot: doveadm(192.168.1.10,screenie(a)test.domain): Debug: Added userdb setting: plugin/quota_rule=*:bytes=102400000 May 1 18:09:48 mx1 dovecot: doveadm(192.168.1.10,screenie(a)test.domain): Debug: Effective uid=5000, gid=5000, home= May 1 18:09:48 mx1 dovecot: doveadm(192.168.1.10,screenie(a)test.domain): Debug: Quota root: name=User Quota backend=dict args=:proxy::sqluserquota May 1 18:09:48 mx1 dovecot: doveadm(192.168.1.10,screenie(a)test.domain): Debug: Quota rule: root=User Quota mailbox=* bytes=102400000 messages=0 May 1 18:09:48 mx1 dovecot: doveadm(192.168.1.10,screenie(a)test.domain): Debug: Quota rule: root=User Quota mailbox=Trash bytes=+10240000 (10%) messages=0 May 1 18:09:48 mx1 dovecot: doveadm(192.168.1.10,screenie(a)test.domain): Debug: Quota grace: root=User Quota bytes=10240000 (10%) May 1 18:09:48 mx1 dovecot: doveadm(192.168.1.10,screenie(a)test.domain): Debug: dict quota: user=screenie(a)test.domain, uri=proxy::sqluserquota, noenforcing=0 May 1 18:09:48 mx1 dovecot: doveadm(192.168.1.10,screenie(a)test.domain): Debug: Namespace inbox: type=private, prefix=, sep=/, inbox=yes, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes location=maildir:/srv/vmail/test.domain/screenie/ May 1 18:09:48 mx1 dovecot: doveadm(192.168.1.10,screenie(a)test.domain): Debug: maildir++: root=/srv/vmail/test.domain/screenie, index=, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=/srv/vmail/test.domain/screenie, alt= May 1 18:09:48 mx1 dovecot: dsync-server(screenie(a)test.domain): Error: User has no home directory May 1 18:09:53 mx1 dovecot: doveadm(screenie(a)test.domain): Debug: auth input: user=screenie(a)test.domain May 1 18:09:53 mx1 dovecot: doveadm(screenie(a)test.domain): Debug: auth input: screenie(a)test.domain mail=maildir:/srv/vmail/test.domain/screenie/ quota_rule=*:bytes=102400000 uid=5000 gid=5000 May 1 18:09:53 mx1 dovecot: doveadm(screenie(a)test.domain): Debug: Added userdb setting: mail=maildir:/srv/vmail/test.domain/screenie/ May 1 18:09:53 mx1 dovecot: doveadm(screenie(a)test.domain): Debug: Added userdb setting: plugin/quota_rule=*:bytes=102400000 May 1 18:09:53 mx1 dovecot: doveadm(screenie(a)test.domain): Debug: Effective uid=5000, gid=5000, home= May 1 18:09:53 mx1 dovecot: doveadm(screenie(a)test.domain): Debug: Quota root: name=User Quota backend=dict args=:proxy::sqluserquota May 1 18:09:53 mx1 dovecot: doveadm(screenie(a)test.domain): Debug: Quota rule: root=User Quota mailbox=* bytes=102400000 messages=0 May 1 18:09:53 mx1 dovecot: doveadm(screenie(a)test.domain): Debug: Quota rule: root=User Quota mailbox=Trash bytes=+10240000 (10%) messages=0 May 1 18:09:53 mx1 dovecot: doveadm(screenie(a)test.domain): Debug: Quota grace: root=User Quota bytes=10240000 (10%) May 1 18:09:53 mx1 dovecot: doveadm(screenie(a)test.domain): Debug: dict quota: user=screenie(a)test.domain, uri=proxy::sqluserquota, noenforcing=0 May 1 18:09:53 mx1 dovecot: doveadm(screenie(a)test.domain): Debug: Namespace inbox: type=private, prefix=, sep=/, inbox=yes, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes location=maildir:/srv/vmail/test.domain/screenie/ May 1 18:09:53 mx1 dovecot: doveadm(screenie(a)test.domain): Debug: maildir++: root=/srv/vmail/test.domain/screenie, index=, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=/srv/vmail/test.domain/screenie, alt= May 1 18:09:53 mx1 dovecot: doveadm(screenie(a)test.domain): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions from /srv/vmail/test.domain/screenie: mode=0700 gid=default May 1 18:09:53 mx1 dovecot: dsync-local(screenie(a)test.domain): Error: User has no home directory root@mx1:/# dovecot -n #

most secure password scheme
by David Mehler 30 Apr '17

30 Apr '17

Hello, I have a few questions on password schemes. Is SHA512 the most secure? Is there a difference between SHA512 and SHA512-CRYPT? What about SSHA512 and SSH512-CRYPT? Is there a problem with this sql statement: UPDATE virtual_users SET password=CONCAT(‘{SHA256-CRYPT}’, ENCRYPT (‘Password Goes Here’, CONCAT(‘$5$’, SUBSTRING(SHA(RAND()), -16)))) WHERE user=’user(a)example.xn--com-to0a; I'm getting an error 1064 at the ending email address. Thanks. Dave.

IMAP hibernate and scalability in general
by Christian Balzer 30 Apr '17

30 Apr '17

Hello, as some may remember, we're running very dense IMAP cluster here, in excess of 50k IMAP sessions per node (current record holder is 68k, design is for 200k+). The first issue we ran into was that the dovecot master process (which is single thread and thus a bottleneck) was approaching 100% CPU usage (aka using a full core) when trying to spawn off new IMAP processes. This was rectified by giving IMAP a service count of 200 to create a pool of "idling" processes eventually, reducing the strain for the master process dramatically. That of course required generous cranking up ulimits, FDs in particular. The next issues of course is (as mentioned before) the memory usage of all those IMAP processes and the fact that quite a few things outside of dovecote (ps, etc) tend to get quite sedate when dealing with tens of thousands of processes. We just started to deploy a new mailbox cluster pair with 2.2.27 and having IMAP hibernate configured. Getting this work is a PITA though with regards to ownership and access rights to the various sockets, this part could definitely do with some better (I know, difficult) defaults or at least more documentation (none besides the source and this ML). Initial results are very promising, depending on what your clients are doing (are they well behaved, are your users constantly looking at other folders, etc) the vast majority of IDLE processes will be in hibernated at any given time and thus not only using a fraction of the RAM otherwise needed but also freeing up process space. Real life example: 240 users, 86 imap processes (80% of those not IDLE) and: dovecot 119157 0.0 0.0 10452 3236 ? S Apr01 0:21 dovecot/imap-hibernate [237 connections] That's 237 hibernated connections and thus less processes than otherwise. I assume that given the silence on the ML what we are going to be the first hibernate users where the term "large scale" does apply. Despite that I have some questions, clarifications/confirmations: Our current default_client_limit is 16k, which can be seen by having 5 config processes on our 65k+ session node. ^_- This would also apply to imap-hibernate, one wonders if that's fine (config certainly has no issues) or if something smaller would be appropriate here? Since we have idling IMAP processes around most of the time, the strain of re-spawning proper processes from imap-hibernate should be just as reduced as for the dovecot master, correct? I'll keep reporting our experiences here, that is if something blows up spectacularly. ^o^ Christian -- Christian Balzer Network/Systems Engineer chibi(a)gol.com Global OnLine Japan/Rakuten Communications http://www.gol.com/

configuration sanity check

Hello, Can I get a sanity check on this configuration? It's a database setup of Dovecot 2.2 with Postfix. I'm having issues and i'd like to know if there's anything glaringly wrong with my configuration? With the password hash situation, should I go with SHA512, SHA512-CRYPT or the SSHA512-CRYPT? Thanks.

We are running dovecot 2.2.27 on solaris 10 and have several hundred accounts with this map inconsistency: Apr 27 12:51:06 <servername> dovecot: [ID 583609 local0.warning] lda(<userid>): Warning: mdbox /<storage-path>: Inconsistency in map index (10,29152 != 10,63560) The users of these accounts can't delete or move mails and often have trouble logging in or lags, because dovecot will try to fix the error and possibly disconnect them at any action. The warning does not occur on every action (imap/pop3 or lda). We did not have a hard reboot or any hardware trouble out of the ordinary (the machine is old and intermittently under higher load). After a variable length of time with these warnings the user accounts develop the following error: Apr 26 22:50:09 <servername> dovecot: [ID 583609 local0.error] imap(<userid>@): Error: Log synchronization error at seq=28,offset=117000 for /<storage-path>/dovecot.map.index: Extension record inc drops number below zero (uid=<uid>, diff=-1, orig=0) force-resync did not help at any stage of the problem and only got the index to continually count up. The only solution we found through which we could save the users flags is to copy the mdbox-files, delete the originals, and then re-import the copy into the user's account via doveadm import.

Pigeonhole / Bug with "duplicate" ?
by Gilles Chauvin 28 Apr '17

28 Apr '17

Hello, Previously, while running Dovecot 2.2.27/Pigeonhole 0.4.16 the following code snippet was working as one would expect: if duplicate { addflag ["\\seen", "Duplicate"]; fileinto "Duplicate"; stop; } if address :contains "to" "user.email(a)example.com" { addflag "$label1"; } After upgrading to Dovecot 2.2.29.1/Pigeonhole 0.4.18 it's not working anymore. When an e-mail is sent to the user the "$label1" isn't applied at all to the message (in the case it's NOT a duplicate). Downgrading to Dovecot 2.2.29.1/Pigeonhole 0.4.17 exposes the same incorrect behaviour. Downgrading to Dovecot 2.2.29.1/Pigeonhole 0.4.16 is OK. When running pigeonhole 0.4.17 & 0.4.18, commenting the "if duplicate {}" block restores the expected behaviour. Looks like a bug that appeared in 0.4.17? Am I correct? Kind regards, Gilles.

[BUG] OpenSSL function has been deprecated
by Peter van der Does 26 Apr '17

26 Apr '17

In src/lib-ssl-iostream/iostream-openssl-params.c a call is made to DH_generate_parameters. This function has been deprecated since OpenSSL 0.9.8. With OpenSSL 1.1 compilation will throw an error. Not sure how to send patches, I don't even know if the patch I wrote actually works (I don't program in C, but gave it a shot anyway) but below is the patch. --- a/src/lib-ssl-iostream/iostream-openssl-params.c +++ b/src/lib-ssl-iostream/iostream-openssl-params.c @@ -13,13 +13,21 @@ generate_dh_parameters(int bitsize, buffer_t *output, const char **error_r) { DH *dh; unsigned char *p; - int len, len2; + int len, len2, success; +#if OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER >= 0x00908000L + success = DH_generate_parameters_ex(dh, bitsize, DH_GENERATOR, NULL); +#else dh = DH_generate_parameters(bitsize, DH_GENERATOR, NULL, NULL); if (dh == NULL) { + success = 0; + } +#endif + + if (success == 0) { *error_r = t_strdup_printf( - "DH_generate_parameters(bits=%d, gen=%d) failed: %s", - bitsize, DH_GENERATOR, openssl_iostream_error()); + "DH_generate_parameters(bits=%d, gen=%d) failed: %s", + bitsize, DH_GENERATOR, openssl_iostream_error()); return -1; } -- If anybody knows the instruction on how to send patches, please let me know and I follow those instructions.
