Dovecot v2.3.8 released
by Aki Tuomi 08 Oct '19

08 Oct '19

https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.8.tar.gz https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.8.tar.gz.sig Binary packages in https://repo.dovecot.org/ Changes + Added mail_delivery_started and mail_delivery_finished events, see https://doc.dovecot.org/admin_manual/list_of_events/ for details. + dsync-replication: Don't replicate users who have "noreplicate" extra field in userdb. + doveadm service status: Show total number of processes created. + When logging to syslog, use instance_name setting's value for the ident. This commonly is added as a log prefix. + Base64 encoding/decoding code was rewritten with additional features. It shouldn't cause any user visible changes. - v2.3.7 regression: If a folder only receives new mails without any other mail access, dovecot.index.log keeps growing forever and dovecot.index keeps being rewritten for every mail delivery. - dsync-replication may lose keywords after syncing mails restored from another replica. This only happened if the mail only had keywords and no system flags. - event filters: Non-textual event fields could not be filtered using wildcards. - auth: Scope parameter was missing from OAuth password grant request. - doveadm client-server communication may hang in some situations. It is also using unnecessarily small TCP/IP packet sizes. - doveadm who and kick did not flush protocol output correctly. - imap: SETMETADATA with literal value would delete the metadata value instead of updating it. - imap: When client issues FETCH PREVIEW (LAZY=FUZZY) command, the caching decisions should be updated so that newly saved mails will have the preview cached. - With mail_nfs_index=yes and/or mail_nfs_storage=yes setuid/setgid permission bits in some files may have become dropped with some NFS servers. Changed NFS flushing to now use chmod() instead of chown(). - quota: warnings did not work if quota root was noenforcing - acl: Global ACL file ignored the last line if it didn't end with LF. - doveadm stats dump: With JSON formatter output numbers using the number type instead of as strings - lmtp_proxy: Ensure that real_* variables are correctly set when using lmtp_proxy. - event exporter: http-post driver had hardcoded timeout and did not support DNS lookups or TLS connections. - auth: Fix user iteration to work with userdb passwd with glibc v2.28. - auth: auth service can crash if auth-policy JSON response is invalid or returned too fast. - In some rare situations "ps" output could have shown a lot of "?" characters after Dovecot process titles. - When dovecot.index.pvt is empty, an unnecessary error is logged: Error: .../dovecot.index.pvt reset, view is now inconsistent - SMTP address encoder duplicated initial double quote character when the localpart of an address ended in '..'. For example "user+..(a)example.com" became ""user+.."@example.com in a sieve redirect. --- Aki Tuomi Open-Xchange Oy
