antispam plugin pipe script seems not to be called when it "should be"
by Ben Johnson 23 Aug '16

23 Aug '16

Hello, (Full "doveconf -n" output is at the end of this message.) I'm attempting to recreate a "recipe" I had used successfully for quite some time (in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS), which allowed me to train SpamAssassin's Bayes database when someone dragged an email message from one sub-folder of the account to another. I later tried to re-implement it (in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS), and core-dumps resulted. I posted to this list about it several times, but nobody was ever able to help me solve the problem. I just tried the same (in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS), hoping that the source had evolved since then, and while I don't see a core-dump, the pipe script doesn't seem to be called. I've booby-trapped the pipe script with quite a bit of debugging output, which should be written to a file, but I don't see any indication that the pipe script is ever executed. When logged-in as an IMAP user, and I drag a message from the user's Inbox into the "Spam" folder, I do see the following activity in the syslog: Aug 18 22:12:15 example.com imap: antispam: mailbox_is_unsure(Junk): 0 Aug 18 22:12:15 example.com imap: antispam: mailbox_is_trash(INBOX): 0 Aug 18 22:12:15 example.com imap: antispam: mailbox_is_trash(Junk): 0 Aug 18 22:12:15 example.com imap: antispam: mail copy: from trash: 0, to trash: 0 Aug 18 22:12:15 example.com imap: antispam: mailbox_is_spam(INBOX): 0 Aug 18 22:12:15 example.com imap: antispam: mailbox_is_spam(Junk): 1 Aug 18 22:12:15 example.com imap: antispam: mailbox_is_unsure(INBOX): 0 Aug 18 22:12:15 example.com imap: antispam: mail copy: src spam: 0, dst spam: 1, src unsure: 0 Aug 18 22:12:15 example.com imap: antispam: running mailtrain backend program /bin/bash Aug 18 22:12:15 example.com imap: antispam: running mailtrain backend program /bin/bash Aug 18 22:12:15 example.com imap: antispam: running mailtrain backend program parameter 1 /usr/local/bin/sa-learn-pipe.sh Aug 18 22:12:15 example.com imap: antispam: running mailtrain backend program parameter 2 --spam But the piped message is never delivered to the target mailbox.

Postfix uses the filename you provide as name for the db file, so running it against symlinks does follow the symlink, but it uses the symlink name as what it uses to create the .db file. You can test this by creating file and doing symlink for it and running postmap against the symlink. You'll see that it will create symlink-name.db file instead of file.db. Aki Tuomi Dovecot oy

Oh yeah, right, LMTP. I don't run LMTP myself, but I suspect the hostname is mapped from the IP of the LMTP listening interface (using /etc/hosts or DNS). Maybe you can change the IP of your listening interface to match mail.domain.test and firewall it off if that IP is public facing. >From reading the code, I can't quite grok how LMTP derives the host label, but as a last resort, you can patch at src/lmtp/commands.c in client_get_added_headers().

specifying elliptic curve
by İhsan Doğan 22 Aug '16

22 Aug '16

Hi, I've noticed that Dovecot is using per default the elliptic curve sect571r1. Because not all clients might support sect571r1, I would like to set the elliptic curve manually. Is that possible? -Ihsan -- ihsan(a)dogan.ch http://blog.dogan.ch/

a question about certificates from letsencrypt

Hello! Certificates from letsencrypt are renewed every three months. Does that mean a MUA has to accept the renewed certificates manually everytime it is renewed? Sorry if this is OT! Greetings Andreas

Crash on opening mailbox
by Ladislav Laska 22 Aug '16

22 Aug '16

Hi! I'm currently experiencing a crash of dovecot 2.2.25 on Gentoo, upon opening mailbox. The crash only triggers on opening inbox, other mailboxes seem to work fine. It happens every time, and can be reproduced on request. I also briefly tried 2.2.19, and it behaves the same. The bug seems to be triggered by some mail, as I encountered it previously and fixed by removing some spam. I guess it might be malformed header of some kind. I can open the mailbox locally using mutt, but fail to do so remotely (using mutt or K-9 mail on android). Unforunately, I haven't been able to isolate the specific mail, as when I create a new mailbox, dovecot refuses to open it: [CANNOT] Mailbox isn't a valid mbox file (0.000 + 0.000 secs). I'm not really sure what's going on and will investigate further once I find some time to do so. I also experienced a similar problem on opening a specific mail, but it's much harder to reproduce and I currently don't have an example. The crash looks very similar, and only happens on first attempt to open a specific mail, it always works later on. I'm attaching a stack trace and dovecot -n. I'm also willing to send the binary and core dump, but not publicly, as I'm not eager to share whatever's inside with the whole world. Other than what I mentioned, I'm running pretty standard setup, with postfix on Gentoo x86_64, ext4 fs, quota and disk space is plentiful. The delivery agent is dovecot itself, in postfix/main.cf I have: mailbox_command = /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver I'm using sieve script to file my mail, but the problem manifested even before when I was still using procmail to deliver my mail (I migrated because I had doubts about procmail and dovecot lock cooperation) I'll keep my mailbox corrupted for a few more days, and access the mail only locally, hoping to test a potential fix. Let me know if you need any more info/experimentation. Also, if you know a good way to find the mail that causes the trouble out of the core, let me know, I'd be glad to forward it for testing. Thanks and I hope we can find (and fix) the problem! -- S pozdravem Ladislav Láska <laska(a)kam.mff.cuni.cz> Katedra Aplikované Matematiky, MFF UK tel.: +420 739 464 167

Which headers are you taking about? If you're talking about Received: headers, that's usually inserted by your MTA, not dovecot. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

LMTP doing passdb queries ?
by Peter Mogensen 22 Aug '16

22 Aug '16

Hi, I can see dovecot is doing a passdb query when handling the LMTP RCPT command. That's kinda unexpected for me. I would have thought it only did a userdb lookup. I have disabled lmtp_proxy to be sure it didn't do a passdb lookup to check the proxy field. Is this expected? Doesn't the LDA only do userdb lookups? /Peter
