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 23 Aug '16

23 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
by Andreas Meyer 22 Aug '16

22 Aug '16

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

Catch-all with LMTP and Postfix
by Michael Starks 22 Aug '16

22 Aug '16

Hidy-ho, I'm having a difficult time getting catch-all working when using Dovecot LMTP. I would like *(a)example.com (everything) to go to virtual(a)example.com, where virtual is a valid virtual user. It seems that things are getting as far as LMTP, but then the mail gets bounced. To wit: Aug 21 08:02:50 hostname postfix/lmtp[4914]: 8DF8E9AFE6: to=<test(a)example.com>, relay=mail.example.com[private/dovecot-lmtp], delay=0.07, delays=0.04/0.01/0.01/0.01, dsn=5.1.1, status=bounced (host mail.example.com[private/dovecot-lmtp] said: 550 5.1.1 <test(a)example.com> User doesn't exist: test(a)example.com (in reply to RCPT TO command)) In the previous log example, test(a)example.com should have been forwarded (aliased) to the virtual mail user.

Field Return-Path contains twice the domain
by Quaquaraquà 22 Aug '16

22 Aug '16

Dear exim & dovecot users, posting on both mailing lists as I am not sure who has the ultimate responsability for this field. I am trying to set up a mail server for multiple domains in my VPS. So I managed to set up the authentication through a dovecot authenticator, which relies to a sqlite database. I would like that, from the database perspective, a query has, as input parameters, both the username and the domain to check the password. For this purpose, I am requesting that the SMTP account is in the full form username(a)domain.com. When forwarded to the dovecot authenticator, I can extract the user with %n and %d. This works, but it has a utter drawback: emails are sent repeating twice the domain in the Return-Path field, e.g. : Return-Path: <"user(a)domain.net"@domain.net> Subject: Re: Hello To: nuquaquaraqua(a)gmail.com From: user <user(a)domain.net> How do I properly fix the field Return-Path now? dovecot --version: 2.2.25 (7be1766) Exim version 4.87 #1 built 28-Jul-2016 18:38:04 Kind regards, Quaquaraqua
