dovecot squatter
by Gabriele Bulfon 06 Apr '16

06 Apr '16

Hi, on cyrus installations we have the squatter utility that can index full message bodies and headers incrementally, allowing to run the squatter from time to time to arrange for index changes. Is there anything similar in Dovecot? This is expecially useful for full searches in body message. Thanks for any help Gabriele ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sonicle S.r.l. : http://www.sonicle.com Music: http://www.gabrielebulfon.com Quantum Mechanics : http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/gabrielebulfon

New feature: HTTP API
by aki.tuomi＠dovecot.fi 05 Apr '16

05 Apr '16

Hi all! We are bringing out HTTP API for doveadm-server in master HEAD. This feature is experimental, and can be expected to have bugs in it and might not always work. If you feel like trying it out though, you can enable it in your configuration file: doveadm_api_key = some-string service doveadm { inet_listener http { port = 8080 } } To use the API, you can go to http://host:8080/doveadm. GET request will print out possible commands, along with their parameters. If you have set API KEY, you need to include it in the request as X-API-Key header. This API has been designed to resemble JMAP API since we are planning to implement it in future version. The rule of thumb is that all the commands work as they would on cli, so the parameters are more or less the same. There are few exceptions, like 'field' parameter in some mail/mailbox commands. Commands are executed by POSTin JSON to /doveadm. The JSON format is [ ["command",{"parameter":"value"},"opaque identifier"], ["command",{"parameter":"value"},"opaque identifier"], ["command",{"parameter":"value"},"opaque identifier"], ... ] Be warned though that even if it supports multiple commands, some commands still use i_fatal to terminate the server if they are unhappy. This will mean you will lose the whole result set, and get no output, so at this point it is safest option to run only one command at a time. If you run into problems or discover issues, please report them in the usual manner to us. Kind regards, Aki Tuomi Dovecot Oy

Environment Variable Expansion
by Tim Evers 04 Apr '16

04 Apr '16

System: Debian Jessie I'm trying to put an environment variable in the sql config like: password_query = SELECT userid AS user, crypt AS password, maildir as userdb_home, 500 as userdb_uid, 500 as userdb_gid FROM local_account WHERE userid = '%u' and mbox_host = '%{env:CLUSTERNAME}' \ and ( ( imap_aktiv='1' and '%s'='imap' ) or ( pop_aktiv='1' and '%s'='pop3' ) or ( sieve_aktiv='1' and '%s'='sieve' ) ) \ and aktiv_abruf='1' My variable is %{env:CLUSTERNAME} CLUSTERNAME is set through /etc/default/dovecot. I tried setting the import_environment config variable to TZ CLUSTERNAME but that changed nothing. When I execute this through a login attempt, I see the following in the tcpflow output: SELECT userid AS user, crypt AS password, maildir as userdb_home, 508 as userdb_uid, 503 as userdb_gid FROM local_account WHERE userid = 'te' and mbox_host = 'env:CLUSTERNAME}' and ( ( imap_aktiv='1' and 'pop3'='imap' ) or ( pop_aktiv='1' and 'pop3'='pop3' ) or ( sieve_aktiv='1' and 'pop3'='sieve' ) ) and aktiv_abruf='1' So %{env:CLUSTERNAME} was parsed to env:CLUSTERNAME} which is not what the doc (http://wiki.dovecot.org/Variables) says, and it also seems like the parser somehow sees this as a short variable (removing %+{). Any hints what might be happening here / how I can make it work. Regards, Tim

Hi I am new to the mailing List, and was hoping to get some assistance migrating from an Old Cucipop + Sendmail server (running on a old Redhat v 7) to a new Dovecot setup. My new installation is Dovecot + Postfix. All is setup and working, however I want to trasnsfer the contents of the mailboxes from my old server to this new Dovecot setup. Please let me know what information will be required to transfer the mailboxes - I have tried a number of things, but with no luck. I think the correct method is the one below, but I am getting UIDL errors and AUTH errors and not sure if this is the right approach ---- PLEASE HELP dsync -u <DOVECOT_USER> mirror mbox:~/mail:INBOX=<MAIL_BOX_COPIED_FROM_OLD_SERVER> ~# dsync -u hendrikv(a)tcmvpn.co.za mirror mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/User_mbox/hendrikv dsync(hendrikv(a)tcmvpn.co.za): Error: pop3c(196.26.136.162): AUTH PLAIN failed: -ERR Invalid command, try one of: USER name, PASS string, APOP name digest, QUIT dsync(hendrikv(a)tcmvpn.co.za): Error: pop3c: Disconnected from remote server dsync(hendrikv(a)tcmvpn.co.za): Error: pop3_migration: Couldn't sync mailbox POP3-MIGRATION-NS/INBOX: Internal error occurred.

How to make quota_status policy to apply to postfix virtual aliases as well?
by Hamy 04 Apr '16

04 Apr '16

HelloI am setting up a postfix+dovecot setup and using quota-status service to reject mails for full mailboxes on smtp session, according to this: https://sys4.de/en/blog/2013/04/08/postfix-dovecot-mailbox-quota/ This is working fine and without any apparent issues. however, Postfix doesn't seem to consult the policy when you're using virtual alias addresses. a virtual alias, is the one that you usually define with virtual_alias_maps . what happens is that Postfix only verifies there is a corresponding value for the given email address and blindly accept it. And it seems smtpd_recipient_restrictions , only applies to the original email address and postfix does not consult that after applying virtual alias. Does any one have any idea how to solve this? is there a setting that i'm missing? or is there a better way to setup email aliases that solve this issue? Best Regards,

Hey Everyone, I’m down to 1 last error that I know I created on my own but I can’t figure out how to fix it… Here is the error that I’m getting: Apr 3 04:29:37 ip-172-31-24-2 postfix/qmgr[20458]: EFE01423E2: from=<me(a)spike.net>, size=359, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Apr 3 04:29:37 ip-172-31-24-2 dovecot: lda(beth(a)primelashdiva.info): Fatal: setresgid(89(postfix),89(postfix),97(dovecot)) failed with euid=97(dovecot): Operation not permitted Apr 3 04:29:37 ip-172-31-24-2 postfix/pipe[20745]: EFE01423E2: to=<beth(a)primelashdiva.info>, relay=dovecot, delay=22, delays=22/0.01/0/0.01, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (temporary failure) So I figure that I messed up the permissions on /etc/dovecot/conf.d I tried to fix it even by setting it way open: drwxrwxrwx 2 dovecot dovecot 4096 Mar 30 00:56 conf.d And it still doesn’t work! doveconf -n: $ doveconf -n # 2.2.10: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 4.1.17-22.30.amzn1.x86_64 x86_64 ext4 auth_mechanisms = plain login first_valid_uid = 89 hostname = mail.primelashdiva.info mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir mail_privileged_group = dovecot mbox_write_locks = fcntl namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = prefix = separator = . } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } postmaster_address = postmaster(a)primelashdiva.info protocols = imap lmtp service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-userdb { group = dovecot mode = 0666 user = dovecot } user = dovecot } service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 143 } inet_listener imaps { port = 993 } } service lmtp { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { group = postfix mode = 0600 user = postfix } } ssl = no ssl_cert = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem ssl_protocols = !SSLv2 !SSLv3 userdb { args = uid=postfix gid=postfix home=/var/mail/vhosts/%d/%n driver = static } protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = " sieve" } protocol lda { mail_plugins = } [ec2-user@ip-172-31-24-2 dovecot]$ It might be too late for me to concentrate enough to figure it, but my googling isn’t bringing up any info… Any pointers?

Problem with GSSAPI
by Luca Bertoncello 03 Apr '16

03 Apr '16

Hi list! I'm really puzzled... I have a Mailserver with Dovecot 2.2.9 (installed from Ubuntu 14.04-Repositories) and it works well with LDAP-Authentication agains the Active Directory. Now I want to use GSSAPI to allow the clients (with Thunderbird 38.7.1) to read E-Mails without giving a password. I configured Dovecot using these HowTos: http://mindref.blogspot.de/2011/02/dovecot-kerberos.html http://wiki.dovecot.org/Authentication/Kerberos But it does not work... In mail.log I can just see: Apr 3 09:52:26 mail dovecot: auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/auth Apr 3 09:52:26 mail dovecot: auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/auth Apr 3 09:52:26 mail dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/auth/libmech_gssapi.so Apr 3 09:52:26 mail dovecot: auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/auth Apr 3 09:52:26 mail dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/auth/libauthdb_ldap.so Apr 3 09:52:26 mail dovecot: auth: Debug: Read auth token secret from /var/run/dovecot/auth-token-secret.dat Apr 3 09:52:26 mail dovecot: auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=2300) Apr 3 09:52:26 mail dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts in 0 secs): user=<>, rip=192.168.50.54, lip=192.168.50.3, session=<x8Sq5I8vsADAqDI2> and Thunderbird says that the Ticket was not accepted and I have to check if I'm logged into the Kerberos/GSSAPI subsystem. I checked with tcpdump and I see that Thunderbird does NOT send at all any request. Could someone help me? Thanks a lot! Luca Bertoncello (lucabert(a)lucabert.de)
