Multiple recipient delimiter support?
by Tanstaafl 07 Jun '16

07 Jun '16

Trying to find out if dovecot supports the use of multiple recipient delimiters, as postfix does, but can't find an answer... The wiki only mentions it in two meaningful places (that I can find)... With respect to postfix: /wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Postfix The above seems to imply that for postfix/LDA all I need to do is define it in postfix (which supports multiple recipient delimiters). And with Pigeonhole/Sieve: wiki.dovecot.org/Pigeonhole/Sieve/Configuration It seems to be saying that I must also define the same recipient_delimiters in dovecot config if using LMTP, and also if I want to use sieve for filtering of mail. But, the example and text says nothing about the use of multiple delimiters... So, is this supported? If so, the wiki should be updated to reflect this...

Can't delete emails from or write replies to Inbox
by Edwin Humphries 07 Jun '16

07 Jun '16

Hi, I'm running Dovecot and Thunderbird, with 2 separate accounts (business and personal). One operates fine, but the other one won't allow me to write replies to the Inbox (so that I can track current threads), and if I move emails to another folder, it copies them instead. New emails do appear in the Inbox. I've checked the permissions on the two Inboxes, and they are the same (except for the owner name). I've tried compacting the problem Inbox, but that hasn't changed things. Edwin

Re: Blowfish hashed passwords

(I subscribed to a daily digest for this list and can’t figure out how to reply to a reply.) Anyway, Aki Tuomi replied to my feature request saying: > We support in latest 2.2 release > > MD5 MD5-CRYPT SHA SHA1 SHA256 SHA512 SMD5 SSHA SSHA256 SSHA512 PLAIN > CLEAR CLEARTEXT PLAIN-TRUNC CRAM-MD5 SCRAM-SHA-1 HMAC-MD5 DIGEST-MD5 > PLAIN-MD4 PLAIN-MD5 LDAP-MD5 LANMAN NTLM OTP SKEY RPA CRYPT SHA256-CRYPT > SHA512-CRYPT > > There is also blowfish support as BLF-CRYPT, but that requires that your > system supports it. CRYPT supports whatever your crypt() supports. > The reason I suggest building in fallback hash type support is that my install of Dovecot on Ubuntu 14.04 didn’t support SHA512-CRYPT or BLF-CRYPT. If Dovecot just included the PHP .c files to make sure it can process Blowfish/SHA512 password hashes on all installs, it would greatly simplify adding Dovecot as a service for my existing user accounts (without forcing them to give their password for the site so I can generate new hashes in a form that Dovecot supports). SHA256-CRYPT is probably my best option for password hashing since it supports ROUNDS to make hash generation slower. But, I would rather use BLF-CRYPT so I can re-use my existing hashes for my user accounts. Kevin

[PATCH v2 0/7] Fixes for lib-mail message-address
by Pali Rohár 05 Jun '16

05 Jun '16

Hello, I borrowed dovecot parser for email addresses and I'm using it in my new perl module Email::Address::XS for parsing & formatting list of email addresses. That perl module is available at github [1]. During implementation and testing I found bugs in dovecot code. So I'm sending my patches (together with tests) which I'm using in my perl module. Lot of other (normal & corner) test cases are part of that perl module [2], so if you are interested feel free to reuse them. Because writing new test cases for dovecot is hard for me, I'm not going to do it. In perl for perl modules it is a lot of easier for me. [1] - https://github.com/pali/Email-Address-XS [2] - https://github.com/pali/Email-Address-XS/blob/master/t/Email-Address-XS.t Changes since v1: * Updated description with test example * Rebased on top of master branch Pali Rohár (7): lib-mail: message_address_write: Fix generating empty group list lib-mail: message_address_write: Fix generating group list with empty name lib-mail: parse_addr_spec: Like in rfc822_skip_comment() check if last_comment is not NULL lib-mail: parse_addr_spec: Email address without local-part is invalid lib-mail: parse_mailbox: Set display name instead mailbox when parsing failed lib-mail: message_address_write: Quote and escape strings if needed lib-mail: Update tests for message address src/lib-mail/message-address.c | 99 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---- src/lib-mail/test-message-address.c | 11 +++- 2 files changed, 98 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) -- 1.7.9.5

Shared Mailbox?
by craig 04 Jun '16

04 Jun '16

Hi, I've been doing a lot of reading on this topic, I'm just finding a lot of doco that's potentially out of date now? System: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.2 (Maipo) dovecot-2.2.10-5.el7.x86_64 The need: 1. I'd like to create a mailbox called "accounts", email would simply get delivered to the account via "accounts(a)example.com" (Maildir format) 2. Share this mailbox so it appears in three other accounts as an extra folder called "accounts" 3. If a user reads an email in the "accounts" folder, I'd like the other users to know this. Clients: * Latest Thunderbird * Outlook 2013. Any advice welcome ;) Cheers, Craig

nginx proxy to dovecot servers
by KT Walrus 03 Jun '16

03 Jun '16

I’m trying to understand how the nginx mail proxy and dovecot work. As a I understand it, nginx can listen on a IP:port for IMAP connections. NGINX then can invoke a PHP script to do authorization and backend server selection. Does NGINX than proxy to the backend dovecot IMAP server all subsequent IMAP commands that the user’s mail client requests? Does the backend dovecot IMAP server do its own authentication with another MySQL password lookup? Or, since NGINX has done the authentication, the password_query lookup is skipped on the dovecot server? I assume the dovecot IMAP server still needs to do a MySQL user_query lookup (to find the location of the user’s mailbox on the server), but I am wondering whether the password will be checked twice, once by NGINX and a second time by dovecot IMAP.

zlib corrupted data
by Angel L. Mateo 03 Jun '16

03 Jun '16

Hello, We are having performance problems with one of our users. We are having a server (2.1.16) for about 8000 users. This server is a vmware vm with 8 cores and 32GB of RAM. Normally, it is working fine, but when one of our users access his email, then the load increases a lot and this high load is maintained while the user is connected. Looking for problems with this user I have found that trying to move messages from one folder to another I have errors like: doveadm(mctm(a)um.es): Error: zlib.read(/mail/users/mailboxes/um.es/mc/mctm/mdbox/storage/m.1486): corrupted data at 30152376 doveadm(mctm(a)um.es): Error: zlib_istream.seek(/mail/users/mailboxes/um.es/mc/mctm/mdbox/storage/m.1486) failed: Invalid argument doveadm(mctm(a)um.es): Error: zlib.read(/mail/users/mailboxes/um.es/mc/mctm/mdbox/storage/m.1473): corrupted data at 7175520 doveadm(mctm(a)um.es): Error: zlib_istream.seek(/mail/users/mailboxes/um.es/mc/mctm/mdbox/storage/m.1473) failed: Invalid argument but a doveadm dump of these files shows no problem. Is there any way to debug this problem? How could I fix it? -- Angel L.
