debugging a reproducible tika-server fail with fts_tika has proved a bit challenging, upstream 1st Q: can anyone _here_ verify successful (no error/fail) PDF attachment scanning using dovecot 2.3.19.1 + fts_tika, with tika-server 2.4.1 ? i'm seeing issues with any/all PDF attachments. this one, from smallpdf.com, "Get_Started_With_Smallpdf.pdf" DL @: https://ufile.io/dkew7k0u is the/a sample that reproduces the problem

Interfacing mutt with Dovecott
by Steve Litt 19 Jul '22

19 Jul '22

Hi all, All my email for the past 20 years is held on a Dovecot IMAP server (version 2.3.19.1 (9b53102964)) on my desktop. I've been using Claws-Mail but want to switch to Mutt. In the past I've tried this, but Mutt was unreliable in reading folders from my local Dovecot server. It didn't see a lot of the folders. I know some people have been very successful running Mutt to access an IMAP server, so it appears to be possible. How should I run Mutt to access my Dovecot? Also, in the past I've used Claws-Mail to admin my Dovecot folders (make new folders, move folders, etc). I've heard there are one or more Dovecot provided tools to do this kind of admin. What are the names of those tools? Thanks, SteveT Steve Litt Summer 2022 featured book: Thriving in Tough Times http://www.troubleshooters.com/bookstore/thrive.htm

Deleting "folders only" folder doesn't actually delete
by Alex 19 Jul '22

19 Jul '22

Hi, I'm using dovecot-2.3.17.1-1.fc34.x86_64 on fedora34 and Thunderbird 91 on fedora35. When creating a folder of type "folders only" in Thunderbird, then trying to delete it, it doesn't actually delete it from the filesystem. Is this a permissions problem? Or perhaps a Thunderbird problem? I don't see any messages in the logs that would indicate some type of failed attempt to delete. How do I troubleshoot this? Thanks, Alex

dovecot 2.3.19.1 + tika-server 2.4.1 failed attachment scanning -- ERROR: 'corrupt stream'?
by PGNet Dev 15 Jul '22

15 Jul '22

i'm running dovecot 2.3.19.1 + fts_tika for attachment scanning, with tika-server 2.4.1 submitting a PDF attachment DIRECTLY to tika, via curl, there's no issue -- scan's OK on mail receipt in dovecot, the attachment is submitted to tika via fts, but scanning fails with a 'corrupt stream' ERROR. i've posted the issue, with details here, @ tika ML, https://lists.apache.org/thread/pztsq8tb8xqz3s4kmjpnt9p3zt07y05k where it's suggested the message may be getting truncated since direct-via-curl doesn't truncate, it seems that the submission process -- via fts plugin -- is a possiblity. can anyone confirm PDF attachment scan in a similar config, with latest versions? or suggest what diagnostic to use to dig for further, relevant troubleshooting info in dovecot+fts?

Error: conn unix:/run/dovecot/stats-writer : Timeout waiting for handshake response

Hi, I'm using ubuntu 22.04 and installed dovecot 2.3.16. I did some initial testing with 100 email accounts and everything seemed to work perfectly the same as dovecot version 2.3.16 on another server. So I performed the migration of approximately 30 thousand email accounts, but the following error started to appear and I know well what to do: Jul 14 18:55:29 box5 dovecot: pop3: Error: conn unix:/run/dovecot/stats-writer (pid=3733995,uid=0): Timeout waiting for handshake response Jul 14 18:55:29 box5 dovecot: imap: Error: conn unix:/run/dovecot/stats-writer (pid=3733995,uid=0): Timeout waiting for handshake response Jul 14 18:55:29 box5 dovecot: managesieve: Error: conn unix:/run/dovecot/stats-writer (pid=3733995,uid=0): Timeout waiting for handshake response Jul 14 18:55:29 box5 dovecot: lmtp: Error: conn unix:/run/dovecot/stats-writer (pid=3733995,uid=0): Timeout waiting for handshake response Jul 14 18:55:29 box5 dovecot: imap-login: Error: conn unix:/run/dovecot/stats-writer (pid=3733995,uid=0): Timeout waiting for handshake response Jul 14 18:55:29 box5 dovecot: imap: Error: conn unix:/run/dovecot/stats-writer (pid=3733995,uid=0): Timeout waiting for handshake response Jul 14 18:55:29 box5 dovecot: imap-login: Error: conn unix:/run/dovecot/stats-writer (pid=3733995,uid=0): Timeout waiting for handshake response Jul 14 18:55:29 box5 dovecot: message repeated 3 times: [ imap-login: Error: conn unix:/run/dovecot/stats-writer (pid=3733995,uid=0): Timeout waiting for handshake response] Jul 14 18:55:29 box5 dovecot: imap: Error: conn unix:/run/dovecot/stats-writer (pid=3733995,uid=0): Timeout waiting for handshake response Jul 14 18:55:29 box5 dovecot: message repeated 2 times: [ imap: Error: conn unix:/run/dovecot/stats-writer (pid=3733995,uid=0): Timeout waiting for handshake response] Permissions on files 79411 srw------- 1 root root 0 Jul 14 18:55 stats-reader 79412 srw-rw---- 1 root dovecot 0 Jul 14 18:55 stats-writer Does anyone know anything about this problem that can help me?

Is multi factor authentication practical/feasible?
by Steve Dondley 14 Jul '22

14 Jul '22

I have a small client whose insurance company insists they have MFA for their email to be covered under some kind of data protection policy. Currently I have the client set up on a Debian box for the email server coupled with roundcube for webmail. Most the users just use roundcube but some also use their mobile devices to check email. Maybe one person uses outlook. There’s about 5 to 10 users total. I know roundcube offers a MFA plugin. But I don’t have the foggiest idea how of an iPhone, Android device, or Outlook could all be set up to work with MFA with a standard dovecot/postfix setup. Are there any practical solutions for easily implementing MFA that could work across multiple devices?

Thunderbird / Copy to Send folder times out
by Paul Kudla (SCOM.CA Internet Services Inc.) 14 Jul '22

14 Jul '22

I know this has been asked before in both Dovecot & Thunderbird Forums (i will posting this info there as well) It seems every once in a while that copy to sent folder timeout occurs and you have to hit retry a few time for it to complete I know this is a network issue (ie network speed, congestion etc does cause an issue) That being said is there an imap timeout variable that would addres this issue and or does anyone know about a thunderbird variable I have been unable to locate anything specific to this issue and am aware that we probably need to patch both sides? ideas anyone ?? -- Happy Thursday !!!
