We had been running 2 replicating servers (Maildir format) using version 2.2.10 under CentOS 7 in production for quite some time. In this forum, I reported a problem that I traced to a timing problem where unread emails being moved to Trash would magically reappear in the INBOX. I have since upgraded our production servers to 2.2.23. The new version resolved the problem. The version upgrade also resolved the occasional, but annoying, dsync maillog entries "Duplicate file entry at line ...". So, I am a very happy camper and appreciate the feedback.

GSSAPI authentication setup
by Braden McDaniel 20 Apr '16

20 Apr '16

I'm setting up dovecot on a new box; and once again I find myself banging my head against GSSAPI authentication. The particularly irritating thing is that I have this working on another box. I've done my best to ape the configuration of that box; but it's been some years since I set it up and somewhere along the line I have failed. My dovecot.conf has: auth_mechanism = plain gssapi passdb { driver = pam } userdb { driver = ldap args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext } where /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext is: hosts = ldap dn = cn=Manager,dc=endoframe,dc=net dnpass = XXXXXXXX ldap_version = 3 base = ou=people,dc=endoframe,dc=net deref = never scope = subtree user_attrs = homeDirectory=home,uidNumber=uid,gidNumber=gid user_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%u)) I've diff'd the contents of /etc/dovecot on the working vs. non-working servers, and I can see nothing of pertinence (just a few lines about loading the sieve plug-in). Now, logging in with the kerberos password via PAM *is* working. /etc/pam.d/dovecot: #%PAM-1.0 auth sufficient pam_krb5.so account sufficient pam_krb5.so But GSSAPI authentication is not: [ root@hinge ~]# telnet localhost 143 Trying ::1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=GSSAPI] Dovecot ready. a authenticate GSSAPI a NO [UNAVAILABLE] Temporary authentication failure. [hinge.endoframe.net:2016-04-16 21:33:32] ^] telnet> close Connection closed. Oh... The kerberos server does have an IMAP service key for hinge; and that service key appears in hinge's /etc/krb5.keytab, as well. Any pointers on where I should be looking at this point would be very much appreciated. -- Braden McDaniel <braden(a)endoframe.com>

sieve vacation: write to the .lda-dupes database without generating a vacation response.
by Bradley M. Kuhn 20 Apr '16

20 Apr '16

I'm using Dovecot's sieve extensions quite happily, they are very good! Thanks for all who worked on them. I have a question that maybe is appropriate for a sieve-specific discussion list, so if there is one I should post to instead, please let me know: I've poked through the sieve vacation RFC and all the documentation I can find and I cannot figure out how to do this. It's more-or-less not the intent of sieve's vacation, so perhaps it's more of a "you can't get there from here" situation, but maybe folks here have an idea: I am (ab)?using sieve vacation to send an automated response at all times to all senders who put me in the To line, every 90 days, which explains my lack of responsiveness and to explain who else might be better contact. (I have hundreds of emails sent to me to which I will never have time to respond, and probably should have been routed to someone else at my organization anyway.) However, I *don't* want my regular correspondents to receive this autoreply. I'd thus like to seed the database with known individuals I'm corresponding with to pretend they've already received the autoresponder. Since I bcc an archive address on all emails, my original thought was to detect people in the To and Cc line of outgoing emails and record them in the .lda-dupes database, as they received a vacation email. I can't figure out how to do this; there is no option on the sieve vacation directive that I can find to do something like this (i.e., I'm looking for a a "do the usual, but *don't* actually send the the email" option on the sieve vacation directive). I do have various other solutions that help in this regard, for example, I never send a vacation email to messages that match: header :contains "In-Reply-To" "@example.org" (where example.org is my domain). This helps, but obviously doesn't handle the situation where the correspondent doesn't reply to one of my emails, or had a stupid MUA. Furthermore, I'd like to implement as many methods as possible for my regular corespondents to limit their receipt of the autoresponder. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any help or advice you can give! -- -- bkuhn ======================================================================== Become a Conservancy Supporter today: https://sfconservancy.org/supporter

18 Apr '16

Thank you Timo for beginning the port of URLAUTH, BURL, and CATENATE from 1.2 to 2.0. Attached please find two patches that finish the port to 2.0. One patch updates the dovecot-2.0-urlauth branch and is based on the tip of that branch. The other patch adds the full support to dovecot-2.0.beta5. The resulting URLAUTH/BURL/CATENATE code is the same. Please let me know if you have any questions about these patches. Thanks.

Tighten TLS - usage of specific ssl_ec-curve
by Martin 15 Apr '16

15 Apr '16

Hi folks, at first: thanks very much for the great piece of software! I have a proposal to tighten the TLS security: enable the usage of a specific ec-curve in the 10-ssl.conf, e.g. ssl_ec-curve = secp384r1 Reason: I use a 384 bit EC server key, but dovecot uses "only" a prime256v1 curve. Keygen was: f=dovecot; openssl ecparam -name secp384r1 -genkey -out $f.key openssl req -new -x509 -key $f.key -out ${f}.crt -days 2000 -sha512 Server check gives: prio ciphersuite protocols pfs curves 1 ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256 TLSv1.2 ECDH,P-256,256bits prime256v1 2 ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA256 TLSv1.2 ECDH,P-256,256bits prime256v1 3 ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA TLSv1.2 ECDH,P-256,256bits prime256v1 4 ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384 TLSv1.2 ECDH,P-256,256bits prime256v1 5 ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA384 TLSv1.2 ECDH,P-256,256bits prime256v1 6 ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA TLSv1.2 ECDH,P-256,256bits prime256v1 Certificate: UNTRUSTED, 384 bit, ecdsa-with-SHA512 signature $ sudo nano /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf ssl = required ssl_protocols = !SSlv2 !SSLv3 TLSv1.2 ssl_cipher_list = EECDH+AES128+AESGCM:EECDH+AES256+AESGCM:EECDH+AES128+SHA256:EECDH+AES256+SHA384:EECDH+AES128+SHA:EECDH+AES256+SHA ssl_prefer_server_ciphers = yes ssl_key = </etc/dovecot/dovecot.key ssl_cert = </etc/dovecot/dovecot.crt OS is arch linux.

A few new Pigeonhole features
by Stephan Bosch 14 Apr '16

14 Apr '16

Hi, A few new Pigeonhole features that enthusiasts can experiment with: - Recently, I implemented support for the "imapsieve" extension in Sieve and its IMAP counterpart (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6785) This is now in the Pigeonhole master branch. This allows running Sieve scripts at IMAP activity, rather than at delivery. There are also facilities for the familiar sieve_before/sieve_after administrator scripts. The documentation is currently only in the sources and not on the wiki: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dovecot/pigeonhole/master/doc/plugins/ima… - Yesterday, I implemented online trace debugging for Sieve scripts: i.e., directly during delivery rather than only using the sieve-test tool. This is also supported for the IMAPSIEVE feature discussed above. This is documented in the INSTALL file: https://github.com/dovecot/pigeonhole/blob/master/INSTALL#L522 In other news, I started a specification for a new Sieve feature that allows using the IMAP SPECIAL-USE attributes from Sieve scripts: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-bosch-sieve-special-use-00 There is no implementation yet. Any comments, suggestions or bug reports are welcome. Regards, Stephan.

Dovecot and Windows Live Mail 2012?
by David Mehler 14 Apr '16

14 Apr '16

Hello, I hope someone has this working, because I'm pulling my hair out at this one. I'm using well for this it's a win7 x64 machine running Windows Essentials 2012 and using the Windows Live mail component. I am trying to connect to my Dovecot server running 2.23 I believe. I keep getting the error "the imap command could not be sent to the server because of a non-network error" googling showed many with this, but no fix. In this account I'm trying to access port 143 which uses starttls. In Mail I've got the boxes for require a secure connection and authentication checked. I should note of course and with no surprise that Mail works oh just fine with the Hotmail account I've also got configured, it's only with the downloading of folders and sending of email to the dovecot server that mail has the issue. Please let me know if I can provide any additional information. Help appreciated. Thanks. Dave.
