Hello, I am in the process of upgrading the OS on my mailserver, currently Debian 9, to Debian 11. The solr-jetty package does not appear to exist in Debian 11. Does anyone know where it is? Thanks John

Re: Duplicate messages if message is moved when using dsync
by Thom Pol 25 May '22

25 May '22

Hi, Thanks for your reply! The dsync is triggered on IMAP/POP3/LDA/LMTP activity. See my config dump from the first email. I'm wondering if my config is not OK so it causes dsync to sync twice? > you need / preferably use a database for your user auth I already do this. > run the command doveadm user '*' - it needs to return a list of users > that will trigger replication (after doing config above) This part works fine.

Panic: file userdb-blocking with Dovecot 2.3.19
by Niklas Meyer 25 May '22

25 May '22

Hello all, since we´ve tested around with the new dovecot release in the mailcow project we´ve came across a curious and new error with Dovecot: /auth: Panic: file userdb-blocking.c: line 124 (userdb_blocking_iter_next): assertion failed: (ctx->conn != NULL)/ *System Information:* *Dovecot Version: 2.3.19 (b3ad6004dc)** * *OS: Debian 11 (dovecot is running in a docker container)* *CPU: x86* *Filesystem: ext4* The error occurs only with the newest Dovecot release (2.3.19), the config hasn´t been changed. In the Attachment you can find all (hopefully) helpful informations. Maybe it is a simple fix. Kind regards and thanks for your help. -- The mailcow Team - Niklas --- The Infrastructure Company GmbH Parkstr. 42 47877 Willich Handelsregister: Amtsgericht Krefeld, HRB 15904 USt-IdNr.: DE308854956 Geschäftsführer: Martin Vogt /*Hinweis: *Der Inhalt dieser E-Mail ist vertraulich und nur für den in der Nachricht angegebenen Empfänger bestimmt.

Message attachments, relocated with Tbird in Dovecot maildir store, not openable; reversible by moving BACK to inbox?
by PGNet Dev 25 May '22

25 May '22

I run dovecot --version 2.3.17.1 (476cd46418) on lsb_release -rd Description: Fedora release 35 (Thirty Five) Release: 35 mail store is maildir mail_location = maildir:/data/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir:CONTROL=/data/vmail/%d/%n/_control:INDEX=/var/vmail-index/%d/%n:LAYOUT=fs:UTF-8 front-end client is thunderbird --version Thunderbird 91.7.0 also on lsb_release -rd Description: Fedora release 35 (Thirty Five) Release: 35 mail is delivered to the store via lmtp transport from a Postfix agent mail, with attachments (e.g., .PDF) is received OK it's readable, attachments can be opened and/or saved to disk\ if, in TBird client, i move the message to any other folder in the IMAP hierarchy, the message relocates, as expected. the message itself is still readable, and _appears_ to have the attachment. but, attempting to OPEN the *attachment*, with e.g. Okular, from within the relocated message pops up a dialog, "Could not open file:///tmp/pid-28435/manual_13542AE.pdf" and saving it to Desktop, ls -al manual_13542AE.pdf -rw-r--r-- 1 pgnd pgnd 27 Apr 1 06:01 manual_13542AE.pdf file manual_13542AE.pdf manual_13542AE.pdf: data then opening it similarly returns "Could not open file:///home/pgnd/Desktop/manual_13542AE.pdf." Moving the message, via TBird, **BACK** to the Inbox, cures the problem -- -- I can immediately, again, open & save the attachments. This 'feels' like cache management misconfiguration to me. Not sure whether in Tbird &/or Dovecot, or what to look for specificially. Hints as to cause/fix of this attachment issue? Or event what/where, specifically, to log?

mail_replica in userdb?
by Coy Hile 23 May '22

23 May '22

I seem to have got replication working from an older instance to a newer one (insofar as the data are present on the new box) that I’m looking to stand up to replace a newer box. In this case, nothing is configured to talk to the new machine yet, so the replication is unidirectional (old -> new). However, I’m seeing an error like like this repeatedly in syslog: 2022-05-21T23:23:15.295252+00:00 basement-imap01 dovecot: doveadm(hile(a)coyhile.com): Error: sync: User has no mail_replica in userdb What setting did I miss? kdoveconf -n # 2.3.7.2 (3c910f64b): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.5.7.2 () # OS: Linux 5.4.0-110-generic x86_64 Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS # Hostname: basement-imap01.coyhile.com doveadm_password = # hidden, use -P to show it mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir mail_privileged_group = mail 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-ldap.conf.ext driver = ldap } protocols = " imap lmtp" service aggregator { fifo_listener replication-notify-fifo { mode = 0666 user = vmail } unix_listener replication-notify { mode = 0666 user = vmail } } service doveadm { inet_listener { port = 12345 } user = vmail } service replicator { unix_listener replicator-doveadm { mode = 0666 } } ssl_cert = </etc/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem 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 override_fields = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/data/mail/vmail/%d/%n } Is that error something that I can (for the moment) ignore since I’m explicitly NOT trying to have this host replicate data anywhere, or do I need to tweak something? -- Coy Hile coy.hile(a)coyhile.com

SQL user_query quota_rule for *:messages=
by James 23 May '22

23 May '22

Hello, dovecot.conf sets the system default quota for storage and message count: plugin { ... quota_rule = *:storage=1G quota_rule2 = *:messages=10000 ... } This quota_rule for the storage is overridden by an SQL user_query in dovecot-sql.conf: user_query = "SELECT ... '*:storage=' || maxstorage || 'M' AS userdb_quota_rule, ...;" Is it possible to override the message count limit with an SQL user_query (and password_query)? I tried returning userdb_quota_rule2 in the SQL but it did not work. "SELECT ... '*:messages=' || maxcount AS userdb_quota_rule2 ...;" Ref: https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/authentication/user_database_e…
