Doveadm HTTP API - Disconnected for inactivity

Hello, I am doing some calls using doveadm http API and I noticed that when some calls took more than 5 seconds the connection are closed, this happen general with huge mailbox's. There are some kind of timeout that I have to set ? For example: # curl call time curl -v --user doveadm:senha -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '[["purge",{"user":"email(a)dominio.com.br"},"c01"]]' http://192.168.0.1:8080/doveadm/v1 * About to connect() to 192.168.0.1 port 8080 (#0) * Trying 192.168.0.1... connected * Connected to host (192.168.0.1) port 8080 (#0) * Server auth using Basic with user 'doveadm' > POST /doveadm/v1 HTTP/1.1 > Authorization: Basic XXXXXX > User-Agent: curl/7.19.7 (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.19.7 NSS/3.19.1 Basic ECC zlib/1.2.3 libidn/1.18 libssh2/1.4.2 > Host: 192.168.0.1:8080 > Accept: */* > Content-Type: application/json > Content-Length: 69 > * Empty reply from server * Connection #0 to host 192.168.0.1 left intact curl: (52) Empty reply from server * Closing connection #0 real 0m5.432s user 0m0.003s sys 0m0.002s # server log Jun 3 17:11:09 host dovecot: doveadm(192.168.0.2): Executing command 'purge' as 'email(a)dominio.com.br' Jun 3 17:11:14 host dovecot: doveadm: http-server: conn 192.168.0.2:59617 [1]: Disconnected for inactivity Regards, Ricardo

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

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.

AD query timeout might be result size limit exceeded
by Julien Lambot 03 Jun '16

03 Jun '16

Hello list I've been struggling for a while trying to configure multiple domain ldap authentication with full e-mail address authentication. Which in fact was not the issue. There where some discrepancies between the doc and our actual configuration (see appendix A/ ) Seems that pass_filters and user_filters don't need much special settings for our setup. Now it's working correctly at the sole exception that when an OU contains "lots" of users (>200) i suspect that the ldapseach query fails. We can well authenticate when we have 50 users in an OU, but not when the number raises (I don't have the exact number above which it locks). Is there a parameter that we can set to increase the result size limit (as i suspect this to be the cause of this possible bug)? If I query manually it's ok (ldapsearch) if I use "doveadm auth user.name(a)domain.tld", it succeed also but I wonder if it doesn't use the winbind authentication instead. Here is our ldap-auth configuration hosts = master.domain.local:389 dn = DOMAIN\ro-user dnpass = password debug_level = 2 auth_bind = yes #auth_bind_userdn = cn=%u,OU=_myou,OU=Utilisateurs,OU=ouname,DC=domain,DC=local (tried with and without with no better results) ldap_version = 3 #deref = never #base = OU=InfrastructureManagement,DC=domain,DC=local (works has a few users) base = OU=_myou,OU=Utilisateurs,OU=ouname,DC=domain,DC=local scope = subtree user_filter = (&(objectclass=person)(mail=%u)) pass_filter = (&(objectclass=person)(mail=%u)) and some logs in appendix B/ Thanks for any hints on this.

Blowfish hashed passwords
by KT Walrus 03 Jun '16

03 Jun '16

The PHP app I’m using on my website uses PHP to generate password hashes to be stored into the user database. These password hashes use Blowfish encryption ("$2y$”). In fact, since PHP 5.3.0, PHP contains its own implementation of the hash types it supports including: - CRYPT_STD_DES - CRYPT_EXT_DES - CRYPT_MD5 - CRYPT_BLOWFISH - CRYPT_SHA256 - CRYPT_SHA512 The C code for these hash types is in https://github.com/php/php-src/tree/master/ext/standard <https://github.com/php/php-src/tree/master/ext/standard> I’m working on adding Dovecot to my site, but Dovecot doesn’t seem to support Blowfish password hashes (at least on Ubuntu 14.04). Would you consider adding built-in “fallback” support for Blowfish and SHA512 (which doesn’t seem to be supported either on Ubuntu 14.04 last time I checked) to an upcoming Dovecot release? You could probably take the source code from the GitHub PHP repo to incorporate support for these hash types in Dovecot. That way, Dovecot could easily use the same hash types that PHP supports regardless of what hash types are installed in the OS running Dovecot. And, I wouldn’t have to deal with a second set of hashes for Dovecot passdb for my existing user accounts. See PHP manual for crypt function: http://php.net/manual/en/function.crypt.php Kevin

special-use for virtual folder
by Wolfgang Rosenauer 02 Jun '16

02 Jun '16

Hi, I'm running two different Dovecot servers (actually more but those are pretty similar and same versions 2.2.24). Today I configured a virtual All folder on both: namespace { location = virtual:/etc/dovecot/virtual:INDEX=~/virtual prefix = virtual. separator = . } mailbox virtual.All { special_use = \All } On this system the special-use flag is not applied to the folder (checked via LIST "" "*"). On the other system: namespace { location = virtual:/etc/dovecot/virtual:INDEX=~/virtual prefix = virtual/ separator = / } mailbox virtual/All { special_use = \All } On the second system I can see * LIST (\HasNoChildren \All) "/" virtual/All Besides the separator I don't see a big difference between both configurations. Any idea? Thanks, Wolfgang

forwarding emails using sieve
by Thorsten von Eicken 01 Jun '16

01 Jun '16

I know this is a tad tangential to dovecot, but maybe someone has some pointers for me. I'm trying to forward emails using the sieve filtering and redirect doesn't do it because it doesn't wrap the message in a new email, instead, it seems to just change the envelope From (and To). This causes the outbound relay to reject the message for security/spam reasons (forged From). It looks like the dovecot sieve implementation doesn't let me change the From header in the sieve script. Is there a way to accomplish what I'm looking for? Thanks!

Full subject on dovecot log

Hi, I've noticed that when a subject is very long Dovecot doesn't show its full lenght on the logs. Is there any way to always register the full subject on the log? (I'm using dovecot 2.2) My best regards, Fabio S. Schmidt
