Shared mailboxes not shown or accessible
by Tim ODriscoll 18 Jan '15

Dear All, I'm trying (and failing) to implement a shared mailbox folder. My goal is to share the inbox of a user 'invoices' to a test user 'rubbish'. My ACLs appear to be correct: # doveadm acl get -u invoices inbox ID Global Rights user=rubbish create delete expunge insert lookup post read write write-deleted write-seen The shared-dict is being generated: # cat /var/lib/dovecot/db/shared-mailboxes shared/shared-boxes/user/rubbish/invoices 1 Yet when I try to list the mailboxes, the shared namespace has no children: . login rubbish password . OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE SORT SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT MULTIAPPEND URL-PARTIAL CATENATE UNSELECT CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE QRESYNC ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH LIST-STATUS SPECIAL-USE BINARY MOVE QUOTA ACL RIGHTS=texk] Logged in . list "" "*" * LIST (\HasNoChildren \Trash) "/" Trash * LIST (\HasNoChildren \Drafts) "/" Drafts * LIST (\HasNoChildren \Sent) "/" Sent * LIST (\Noselect \HasNoChildren) "/" shared * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" INBOX .

Initial development work on fts-elasticsearch
by Joshua Atkins 18 Jan '15

18 Jan '15

Hi all, I have started work on an ElasticSearch FTS plugin for Dovecot. It's available now on GitHub at: https://github.com/ascendantcom/fts-elasticsearch Please note that it is still in heavy development right now. It supports indexing, searching and expunging with some caveats (no multi-mailbox search or attachments). Pull requests, suggestions and bug reports very welcome! Cheers, Josh

dsync SSL fails since 2.2.15
by Martin Carlé 17 Jan '15

17 Jan '15

Hello list, dovecot ran rock-solid on OSX Mavericks for about 1 year replicating my mail between 2 servers via dsync with SSL as that is well described here: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Replication After upgrading to 2.2.15, dsync gets stuck with the Error: "Received invalid SSL certificate" even though neither any of the dovecot configs nor the certs, keys or the CA have changed! When I simply outcomment SSL and switch dsync to use tcp (instead of tcps) everthing replications still works like a charm. Please help me to get SSL back working! I did a lot of testing and come up with a concrete QUESTION below, hopefully leading the way out of this trap. What happend ============= 2 days before I upgraded one of the machines to OSX Yosemite. Along with this, I also upgraded to dovecot 2.2.15 via homebrew (unfortunately on both machines at once). During this process, also openssl was updated to "OpenSSL 1.0.1k 8 Jan 2015". If checking the unchanged certs against the CA, however, the results are still "OK". 1st check: OK ========== sudo /usr/bin/openssl verify -CAfile /etc/ssl/ca/dovecotCA.pem /etc/ssl/certs/dovecot_on27_signed_cert.pem Password: /etc/ssl/certs/dovecot_on27_signed_cert.pem: OK 2nd check: OK (providing the CAfile and connecting to the doveadm_port) =========== openssl s_client -CAfile /etc/ssl/ca/dovecotCA.pem -connect on27.linkpc.net:8082 CONNECTED(00000003) depth=1 CN = dovecotCA2, O = dovecot, OU = dovecot, ST = dovecot, C = AF, L = dovecot, emailAddress = mc(a)aiguphonie.com verify return:1 depth=0 CN = on27.linkpc.net, O = dovecot, OU = dovecot, ST = dovecot, C = AF, L = dovecot, emailAddress = mc(a)aiguphonie.com verify return:1 --- Certificate chain 0 s:/CN=on27.linkpc.net/O=dovecot/OU=dovecot/ST=dovecot/C=AF/L=dovecot/emailA… i:/CN=dovecotCA2/O=dovecot/OU=dovecot/ST=dovecot/C=AF/L=dovecot/emailAddress=mc@aiguphonie.com --- Server certificate -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- dmVjb3RDQTIxEDAOBgNVBAoMB2RvdmVjb3QxEDAOBgNVBAsMB2RvdmVjb3QxEDAO [...] +g== -----END CERTIFICATE----- subject=/CN=on27.linkpc.net/O=dovecot/OU=dovecot/ST=dovecot/C=AF/L=dovecot/… issuer=/CN=dovecotCA2/O=dovecot/OU=dovecot/ST=dovecot/C=AF/L=dovecot/emailAddress=mc(a)aiguphonie.com --- No client certificate CA names sent --- SSL handshake has read 1709 bytes and written 487 bytes --- New, TLSv1/SSLv3, Cipher is ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384 Server public key is 2048 bit Secure Renegotiation IS supported Compression: zlib compression Expansion: zlib compression SSL-Session: Protocol : TLSv1.2 Cipher : ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384 Session-ID: C4DDBA1FA50039FA5D94EF2359BA037B3903D66B6B637CA0733A9216BFCC3996 Session-ID-ctx: Master-Key: 0495D21CA11AA54856D78B48C3DBE9B70EFFB65F13224B430D2B4B2F80F12BE5A89F31454F9577F22F5DDC26FDBAAFAC Key-Arg : None PSK identity: None PSK identity hint: None SRP username: None TLS session ticket lifetime hint: 300 (seconds) TLS session ticket: [...] 0090 - 2d 97 37 15 bd a9 be 68-c1 79 fa dd d8 75 76 3f -.7....h.y...uv?

Is there a call to the openssl cmd or is the library linked into dovecotadm? If liked, what version is used and how can I possibly change it? or: What's wrong with my CA and cert(s) all of a sudden?

dsync-remote: Error: Failed to set attribute
by Alexander Moisseev 16 Jan '15

16 Jan '15

1. I am looking for backup solution for mdbox with SIS and experimenting with dsync. I am planning to do it like that: doveadm backup [deSISing] => transmitting to remote host => dsync-server [SISing] Is there more convenient method? 2. I have dovecot 2.2.15 on both hosts. The local host is a mail server. Dovecot on the remote host neither running nor configured (I have created an empty dovecot.conf in the config dir). When I tried to back up mailbox from local to remote host with command doveadm backup -P -u user(a)domain.tld \ ssh -c blowfish -i /tmp/vmail/.ssh/id_dsa vmail@remotehost \ doveadm \ -o mail_location=mdbox:/tmp/vmail/domain.tld/user/mdbox \ -o mail_attachment_dir=/tmp/vmail/attachments \ dsync-server I got error messages: dsync-remote(vmail): Error: Mailbox INBOX: Failed to set attribute vendor/vendor.dovecot/pvt/server/sieve/files/roundcube: Internal attributes cannot be changed directly dsync-remote(vmail): Error: Mailbox INBOX: Failed to set attribute vendor/vendor.dovecot/pvt/server/sieve/files/main: Internal attributes cannot be changed directly dsync-remote(vmail): Error: Mailbox INBOX: Failed to set attribute vendor/vendor.dovecot/pvt/server/sieve/files/test: Internal attributes cannot be changed directly dsync-remote(vmail): Error: Mailbox INBOX: Failed to set attribute vendor/vendor.dovecot/pvt/server/sieve/default: Internal attributes cannot be changed directly What do that errors mean?

Hello, I am using the antispam plugin of Dovecot with SpamAssassin and in some cases when users move back mails from the Spam folder to their INBOX (false positive) they get the following error message: [SERVERBUG] failed to send mail Does anyone have an idea what could be the issue here? It is quite annoying as the mail then stays in the Spam folder and can not been re-learnt has ham. Best regards ML

File locking issues
by Oliver Welter 16 Jan '15

16 Jan '15

Hi All, I upgrade my mail server from doveot 1.1.7 to 2.2.13 and encounter problems with file locking issues. The server has around 400 clients using IMAP and I get tons of "Warning: fscking index file .. dovecot.index" and "Error: Corrupted transaction log". Sometimes the transaction log problem is followed by "Panic: file mail-transaction-log.c: line 350 (mail_transaction_log_set_mailbox_sync_pos): assertion failed: (file_offset >= log->head->saved_tail_offset)" I tried all offered locking methods (fcntl, flock, dotlock) without success. The server runs inside a virtual guest (linux-vserver which is similar to LXC) using an overlay filesystem. I suspect the overlayfs but have no idea how to test this, besides - as I understand - dotlock should not rely on the fs locking at all :( I even wonder why the old dovecot worked for nearly 10 years without any problems, even under higher loads. The config is pretty straightforward: # 2.2.13: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.4.57-vs2.3.3.9-g67e6589-dirty x86_64 Gentoo Base System release 2.2 auth_cache_negative_ttl = 0 auth_cache_size = 50 M auth_mechanisms = plain cram-md5 debug_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-debug.log default_client_limit = 900 default_process_limit = 250 disable_plaintext_auth = no first_valid_gid = 89 first_valid_uid = 89 info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log last_valid_gid = 89 last_valid_uid = 89 listen = * lock_method = dotlock login_greeting = Serverpilot.net Mail Service mail_gid = 89 mail_location = maildir:~/.maildir mail_uid = 89 namespace inbox { inbox = 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 = } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } protocols = imap pop3 service imap-login { process_min_avail = 5 service_count = 0 } ssl_cert = </var/qmail/control/servercert.pem ssl_cipher_list = ALL:!EXPORT:!LOW:!MEDIUM:!aNULL:+RC4:@STRENGTH ssl_dh_parameters_length = 2048 ssl_key = </var/qmail/control/servercert.pem ssl_protocols = !SSLv2 !TLSv1.2 userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } protocol imap { mail_max_userip_connections = 25 } Any ideas are welcome.

From 11 Oct 2013 (Rick van Rein) "Hello, I love Dovecot, but when developing a small IMAP tool, I ran into searching behaviour can easily be optimised. Please forgive a rather detailed suggestion. This was on Dovecot 1.2.15 on Debian Squeeze. My tool? It's called "midget" and retrieves documents from an IMAP box based on their mid: or cid: identifier, as per RFC 2392. I thought this would be useful to retrieve email attachments into a remote shell environment. When using Kerberos, the credentials and a strong hint of one's mail address are already present anyway, DNS SRV does the rest. If you want to see the early code, I'll be happy to share it here." Hi Rick. Thanks for the suggested optimisation - I am not sure if it is you who I have to think for contributing towards making IMAP search fast again. In any case, if you see this I would be interested to see the source for midget if you are willing to share. If you don't want to post to the list then my email is laeeth at laeeth.com Thanks.
