Sis attachment deduplication
by Laeeth Isharc 20 Jun '14

20 Jun '14

Hi. Two questions: 1. Is this now reasonably stable for large mailboxes (c 2mm messages)? 2. Will this leave the filename in the message body unchanged? So for example if I have the same attachment called proposalfromvendor.pdf and proposaltoclient.pdf in two different emails, will the original names be kept ? Or will it replace the filename with some kind of numeric hash ? Many thanks. Laeeth Sent from my iPad

IMAP Chunking Thunderbird
by MrLINK 20 Jun '14

20 Jun '14

Hi, using dovecot-2.0.9-7.el6.x86_64 on CentOS release 6.5 (Final) I have an issue with thunderbird imap chunking. Some attachments are corrupted, because Thunderbird is just storing the first chunk. Since there are some workarounds by editing the "mail.imap.fetch_by_chunks" via about:config this is not the best choice for me because every client has to be edited. Is there a way to set a central value on the dovecot server (i.e disable chunking since this is not a client behaviour only)? Thanks in advance!

Suggestion: Split login_trusted_networks
by Peter Mogensen 20 Jun '14

20 Jun '14

Hi, It seems the use of login_trusted_networks is overloaded. Example: * It's used for indicating which hosts you trust to provide XCLIENT remote IP's. * It's used for indicating from which hosts you trust logins enough to disable auth penalty. (like in a webmail) However... trustwise, this is trusting two different entities. The first case you put trust in the host. In the second case, you actually put trust in the user which uses the webmail (unless of course the webmail it self implements auth-penalties). So you can't have one set of hosts which you trust for XCLIENT and another set of hosts you trust for not being the origin of brute force attacks. /Peter

Replication and namespaces
by Laeeth Isharc 19 Jun '14

19 Jun '14

Hi. Replication in dovecot is running into trouble as it is trying to sync virtual namespaces and does not like it. dsync parameters With v2.2.9+ you can configure what parameters replicator uses for the doveadm sync command: replication_dsync_parameters = -d -N -l 30 -U The -f and -s parameters are added automatically when needed. Usually the only change you may want to do is replace -N (= sync all namespaces) with -n <namespace> or maybe just add -x <exclude> parameter(s). ........ What is the description of namespace that follows -n or -x? -x virtual Or -x 0/ Where 0/ is the prefix for my virtual namespace Does not seem to stop it trying to sync the virtual namespace... What should I be doing instead? Do I need to use all the parameters above? Or can I just use the -x ? Sent from my iPa

dsync initial replication failing
by Cassidy Larson 19 Jun '14

19 Jun '14

Trying to get my new storage server synced up using dsync replication with SSH. Followed the wiki and everything works great for the initial sync, for about 4 hours, then I get some errors and it stops replicating: dsync-local(user(a)host.com): Warning: Failed to do incremental sync for mailbox INBOX, retry with a full sync dsync-local(user(a)host.com): Error: Remote command returned error 75: ssh -lusername <remote_ip> doveadm dsync-server -uuser(a)host.com -U It happened around 2am. I restarted the new server dovecot process and it started to copy back up again, and then happened about four hours later. I have about 10,000 accounts, and it chugs through the list to replicate pretty well (~300Mbps), so I know it's working. Just not sure why it's failing after it's working so great. Running 2.2.13 on both on FreeBSD. Both show this: # doveadm replicator status Queued 'sync' requests 0 Queued 'high' requests 0 Queued 'low' requests 0 Queued 'failed' requests 0 Queued 'full resync' requests 5645 Waiting 'failed' requests 0 Total number of known users 9957 Any ideas? Suggestions? Thanks, Cassidy

I think you will hear from proponents of both styles. I would say use whatever works best for you. I personally use one dovecot.conf without any includes because I like having all my configs in one place. Less editing mutiple files, and less forgetting some configuration squirreled away in some conf.d file. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

RFE: dnsbl-support for dovecot
by Reindl Harald 17 Jun '14

17 Jun '14

after having my own dnsbl feeded by a honeypot and even mod_security supports it for webservers i think dovecot sould support the same to prevent dictionary attacks from known bad hosts, in our case that blacklist is 100% trustable and blocks before SMTP-Auth while normal RBL's are after SASL i admit that i am not a C/C++-programmer, but i think doing the DNS request and in case it has a result block any login attemt should be not too complex setup a own honeypot and feed rbldnsd with the sources is quite easy and in case of a own, trustable RBL where no foreigners report somebody by mistake it's relieable and scales well over many machines and services as long services supporting it mod_security: http://blog.inliniac.net/2007/02/23/blocking-comment-spam-using-modsecurity…

[Dovecot] Replication with virtual users and static userdb possible ?
by deano-dovecot＠areyes.com 17 Jun '14

17 Jun '14

Is it possible to get replication working in a virtual user setup that uses a static userdb ? My environment is fairly simple and typical - there's a single system user (vmail) that owns all the home dirs (/var/mail/domain.com/user). The virtual users (userid@domain.com:secretpassword) are kept in a single file (/var/mail/domain.com/PASSWD) that's unique per domain, and referenced as a static userdb : passdb { driver = passwd-file args = scheme=plain username_format=%u /var/mail/%d/PASSWD } userdb { driver = static args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/var/mail/%d/%n } I know the wiki http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Replication states that user listing must be enabled, but that's not available for a static userdb. The wiki http://wiki2.dovecot.org/UserDatabase/Static also says that it shouldn't be a problem because it will use do a passdb lookup instead (except for PAM which isn't used here). Unfortunately, it's not working. I've testing with ssh : dsync_remote_cmd = ssh -l vmail %{host} doveadm dsync-server -u%u -l%{lock_timeout} -n%{namespace} mail_replica = remote:vmail@server2.domain.com as well as with straight tcp (SSL for later) mail_replica = tcp:server2.domain.com:999 /var/log/mail.err shows the problems ... Jun 3 11:30:53 server1 dovecot: auth: Error: Trying to iterate users, but userdbs don't support it Jun 3 11:30:53 server1 dovecot: replicator: Error: User listing returned failure Jun 3 11:30:53 server1 dovecot: replicator: Error: listing users failed, can't replicate existing data Anyone else have it working ? I'm sure it's something simple that I've just overlooked. Thanks - D.
