Kerberos/GSSAPI auth weirdness?
by r3pek 14 Dec '22

14 Dec '22

Hi list! I'm migrating my server into a new REALM (INT.R3PEK.ORG) from an old one (R3PEK.ORG) This is a completely new install and configuration, so no leftovers exits. The machine is correctly register into the REALM and users are able to login without a problem. Now, when I try to login using a Kerberos ticket, for some reason that I can't understand, dovecot is looking for a ticket on the old REALM. Maybe because of the email domain (which stayed the same)? This is the error message I see on the clients: "Failed to authenticate: Server krbtgt/R3PEK.ORG(a)INT.R3PEK.ORG" The one it should be looking for is krbtgt/INT.R3PEK.ORG(a)INT.R3PEK.ORG, but I can't seem to figure out where the problem is. # doveconf | grep -i realm auth_default_realm = INT.R3PEK.ORG auth_realms = INT.R3PEK.ORG What do I need to change to make this work?

Backups
by Doug Hardie 11 Dec '22

11 Dec '22

I started to investigate using doveadm backup to backup my mail system. I have a small number of users and the mail store is not large. It uses maildir format. I setup a test system that is not connected to the internet and started up dovecot. I used the following command to backup one user: doveadm backup -u ben remote:test ben is the user is in the mail store. Test is the actual server name. That worked just fine. The maildir was copied completely (as best as I can tell with ls). Then I tried the second user: doveadm backup -u jean remote:test This gives 2 error messages: doveadm(jean)[]<McRYOFI0jGN1MwAAmC+70w>: Error: Mailbox INBOX: Failed to get attribute vendor/vendor.dovecot/pvt/server/sieve/files/.dovecot: Mailbox attributes not enabled doveadm(jean)[]<0IwxIlI0jGMgUwAAZU03Dg>: Error: Remote command returned error 65: ssh test doveadm dsync-server -ujean -U In addition, the maildir directories are created, but there are no emails in any of them (e.g., cur). What is the problem with the 2nd and why does it behave differently from the first? -- Doug

Sieve duplicates
by Ferenc 09 Dec '22

09 Dec '22

Hi list, I have Sieve scripts that unintentionally duplicate e-mails. My dovecot version is 2.3.4.1 (f79e8e7e4), Pigeonhole version 0.5.4 on Linux 5.4.189-2-pve x86_64 Debian 10.13. My scripts get called on an imap COPY action (imapsieve extension). The mail is fed to an external script (spam/ham training) via a pipe :copy action (vnd.dovecot.pipe extension). An header is added to keep track of what happened (editheader extension). I use "if header :contains” for my (simple) logic. If contains header X, do this, add header Y. If contains header Y, do that, add header X. I end each "if” part with keep; and stop; commands. Simple versions of this script, without the if-then construct, seem to work ok. As soon as I try to use if-then-else I find a duplicate of the processed e-mail; one that seems to be untouched, one that appears to have been processed. I hope I’m making myself clear… # without if-then require … pipe :copy … addheader … keep; # with if-then require … if header :contains pipe :copy … addheader … keep; stop; if not exists pipe :copy … addheader … keep; stop; keep; The scripts get called from for instance imapsieve_mailbox1_before. Cheers, Ferenc

Seen Flags per User

Hello, i want to configure seen flags per user for shared public mailboxes in dovecot. I have added the INDEVPVT Option to the location parameter in the namespace and restarted the services and the server. Unfortunately nothing changed and there are still global seen flags in the configuration. In a post i read that i have to manually add some files to the location but this isnt specified in the documentation. below is the version we use and the config. dovecot --version 2.3.13 (89f716dc2) dovecot -n # 2.3.13 (89f716dc2): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.5.13 (cdd19fe3) # OS: Linux 5.10.0-17-amd64 x86_64 Debian 11.4 ext4 # Hostname: <SERVERNAME> auth_debug = yes auth_debug_passwords = yes auth_verbose = yes auth_verbose_passwords = plain mail_debug = yes mail_gid = vmail mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/user mail_plugins = acl mail_privileged_group = vmail mail_uid = vmail namespace { list = yes location = maildir:/var/mail/public:INDEXPVT=/var/mail/public prefix = public/ separator = / subscriptions = no type = public } namespace { list = yes location = maildir:/var/mail/user/%u/Maildir:INDEX=/var/mail/user/%u/shared/%u:CONTROL=/var/mail/user/%u/shared/%u prefix = shared/%%u/ separator = / subscriptions = no type = shared } namespace inbox { hidden = no inbox = yes list = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = separator = / subscriptions = yes type = private } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext driver = ldap } plugin { acl = vfile acl_anyone = allow acl_shared_dict = file:/var/mail/database/shared-mailboxes.db } protocols = " imap" service stats { unix_listener stats-reader { group = vmail mode = 0660 user = vmail } unix_listener stats-writer { group = vmail mode = 0660 user = vmail } } ssl_cert = </var/ssl/dove.crt ssl_client_ca_dir = /etc/ssl/certs ssl_dh = # hidden, use -P to show it ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext driver = ldap } protocol imap { mail_plugins = acl imap_acl }

access dict in lua auth script
by Tobias Florek 08 Dec '22

08 Dec '22

Hi! I want to access a configured dictionary in a lua authentication script. Unfortunately the documentation <https://doc.dovecot.org/admin_manual/lua/> does mention a dict object but no way to get one. I also did not find any lua tests in dovecot's source code. Is using the built-in dict not supported? Cheers, Tobias Florek

moving messages between namespaces go into purge
by Marc 07 Dec '22

07 Dec '22

I think it would be nice to have an option where the moving of messages between namespaces (by automated server scripts) would not result in messages ending up in the 'purge' queue. Currently when you move these copied messages, they end up in the purge queue combined with messages that users deleted. I am more or less forced to purge the mailbox after moving GB's while I prefer not to do this, because I would like to keep the opportunity to recover from the purge queue. Maybe there is a way to 'deduplicate' this purge queue?

Sieve: fileinto a subfolder of inbox
by Federico Fanton 05 Dec '22

05 Dec '22

Hi everyone! I'm trying to write a sieve script that moves emails to a *subfolder* of the inbox. My script: require ["envelope", "fileinto", "mailbox"]; if anyof( address "to" "support(a)domain.cc", address "cc" "support(a)domain.cc", envelope "to" "support(a)domain.cc" ) { fileinto :create "INBOX.support"; } But this creates a new "support" folder BESIDE the inbox, not INSIDE it. I've tried replacing "INBOX.support" with "INBOX/support" but then I get an error: "Name must not have '/' characters" Is there something else I could try? Here is the output of dovecot -n: # 2.3.4.1 (f79e8e7e4): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.5.4 () # OS: Linux 4.19.0-21-amd64 x86_64 Debian 10.0 ext4 auth_mechanisms = plain login lda_mailbox_autosubscribe = yes mail_location = maildir:/home/vmail/maildir/%d/%n/Maildir mail_plugins = " zlib lazy_expunge" mail_privileged_group = vmail managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date index ihave duplicate mime foreverypart extracttext namespace { hidden = yes list = no location = maildir:/home/vmail/maildir/%d/%n/Maildir/expunged prefix = .EXPUNGED/ separator = / } namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { auto = subscribe special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = } passdb { driver = pam } passdb { args = scheme=SHA1 /etc/dovecot/users.conf driver = passwd-file } plugin { lazy_expunge = .EXPUNGED/ sieve = file:~/sieve;active=~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_vacation_default_period = 1d sieve_vacation_to_header_ignore_envelope = yes } protocols = imap sieve service auth { executable = /usr/lib/dovecot/auth unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-master { group = vmail mode = 0600 user = vmail } } service doveadm { inet_listener { port = 24242 } } service imap-login { process_limit = 200 } service stats { unix_listener stats-reader { group = vmail mode = 0660 user = vmail } unix_listener stats-writer { group = vmail mode = 0660 user = vmail } } ssl_cipher_list = ALL:!LOW:!SSLv2:ALL:!aNULL:!ADH:!eNULL:!EXP:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM ssl_client_ca_dir = /etc/ssl/certs ssl_dh = # hidden, use -P to show it ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it userdb { driver = passwd } userdb { args = uid=1001 gid=1001 home=/home/vmail/maildir/%d/%n allow_all_users=yes driver = static } protocol lda { mail_plugins = " zlib lazy_expunge sieve" } protocol imap { imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail mail_max_userip_connections = 20 } local 192.168.2.0/24 { doveadm_allowed_commands = sieve list,sieve get,sieve put,sieve activate,sieve deactivate doveadm_password = # hidden, use -P to show it } Many thanks for your time!
