[Dovecot] dsync replication errors
by Oli Schacher 09 Sep '15

09 Sep '15

Hi I'm trying to build a cluster of two servers with dsync replication (based on http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Replication). My test setup works fine for very simple tests, I can log in to both servers, copy a message to one of the servers and it successfully apperars in the other account. But, if I try to copy a large amount of messages at once to one of the accounts, my maillogs get flodded with errors(see below) and the mailboxes seem to get out of sync and messages are duplicated over and over again (I originally copied 100 messages and ended up with thousands in both mailboxes until I killed dovecot) I'd appreciate if someone could have a look at my config and tell me what I did wrong. dovecot.conf of both servers, they are identical except for the target ip in mail_replica: dovecot -n # 2.2.beta1 (070ca24e5846+): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux

Different behavior of ACLs in MUA and doveadm
by Thomas Leuxner 08 Sep '15

08 Sep '15

I have noticed a difference in the behavior of ACLs. When used in a MUA the following global ACL works fine and has the desired effect - new mailboxes can be created by a user being part of the 'PublicMailboxAdmins' group: [ global-acl: ] INBOX owner lrwstiekxap Public/* group=PublicMailboxAdmins lrwsipk Public/* anyone lr Public/* authenticated lrws Creating the same mailbox via doveadm however fails with a permission problem: doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl vfile: Global ACL file: /var/vmail/conf.d/leuxner.net/global-acl doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: Namespace : type=public, prefix=Public/, sep=/, inbox=no, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=no location=mdbox:/var/vmail/public:INDEXPVT=~/mdbox/public doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: fs: root=/var/vmail/public, index=, indexpvt=/var/vmail/domains/leuxner.net/tlx/mdbox/public, control=, inbox=, alt= doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl: initializing backend with data: vfile:/var/vmail/conf.d/leuxner.net/global-acl:cache_secs=300 doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl: acl username = tlx(a)leuxner.net doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl: owner = 0 doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl vfile: Global ACL file: /var/vmail/conf.d/leuxner.net/global-acl doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: Namespace : type=private, prefix=Virtual/, sep=/, inbox=no, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes location=virtual:~/mdbox/virtual doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: fs: root=/var/vmail/domains/leuxner.net/tlx/mdbox/virtual, index=, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=, alt= doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl: initializing backend with data: vfile:/var/vmail/conf.d/leuxner.net/global-acl:cache_secs=300 doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl: acl username = tlx(a)leuxner.net doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl: owner = 1 doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl vfile: Global ACL file: /var/vmail/conf.d/leuxner.net/global-acl doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl vfile: file /var/vmail/public/mailboxes/dovecot-acl not found doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Error: Can't create mailbox Public/Archive/Newsletters/heise-security/2014: Permission denied Interestingly, doveadm succeeds when dovecot-acl is present in the namespace root - which of course is not desirable in the light of the global ACL: [ dovecot-acl: ] group=PublicMailboxAdmins lrwsipk doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl vfile: Global ACL file: /var/vmail/conf.d/leuxner.net/global-acl doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: Namespace : type=public, prefix=Public/, sep=/, inbox=no, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=no location=mdbox:/var/vmail/public:INDEXPVT=~/mdbox/public doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: fs: root=/var/vmail/public, index=, indexpvt=/var/vmail/domains/leuxner.net/tlx/mdbox/public, control=, inbox=, alt= doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl: initializing backend with data: vfile:/var/vmail/conf.d/leuxner.net/global-acl:cache_secs=300 doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl: acl username = tlx(a)leuxner.net doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl: owner = 0 doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl vfile: Global ACL file: /var/vmail/conf.d/leuxner.net/global-acl doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: Namespace : type=private, prefix=Virtual/, sep=/, inbox=no, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes location=virtual:~/mdbox/virtual doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: fs: root=/var/vmail/domains/leuxner.net/tlx/mdbox/virtual, index=, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=, alt= doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl: initializing backend with data: vfile:/var/vmail/conf.d/leuxner.net/global-acl:cache_secs=300 doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl: acl username = tlx(a)leuxner.net doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl: owner = 1 doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl vfile: Global ACL file: /var/vmail/conf.d/leuxner.net/global-acl doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl vfile: reading file /var/vmail/public/mailboxes/dovecot-acl doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: Namespace Public/: /var/vmail/public/mailboxes/Archive/Newsletters/heise-security/2014 doesn't exist yet, using default permissions doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: Namespace Public/: Using permissions from /var/vmail/public: mode=0700 gid=default doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl vfile: file /var/vmail/public/mailboxes/Archive/Newsletters/heise-security/dbox-Mails/dovecot-acl not found doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl vfile: file /var/vmail/public/mailboxes/Archive/Newsletters/heise-security/2014/dbox-Mails/dovecot-acl not found doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl vfile: file /var/vmail/public/mailboxes/Archive/Newsletters/heise-security/2014/dbox-Mails/dovecot-acl not found doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl vfile: file /var/vmail/public/mailboxes/Archive/Newsletters/heise-security/2014/dbox-Mails/dovecot-acl not found # 2.2.15 (6078354e6238): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf I know there have been some changes in Mercurial as to how global ACLs are interpreted. Is doveadm probably behind on them? Regards Thomas

Authcache and user changing

Hi, I have noticed that during auth cache hits usernames are not updated. (We use ldap backend and change username with user_attrs = uid=user, mailMessageStore=home, mailQuotaSize=quota_rule=*:bytes=%$ cold cache lmtp(14414): Debug: auth input: testmon_testmon home=/vmail/te/testmon_testmon quota_rule=*:bytes=104857600 lmtp(14414): Debug: changed username to testmon_testmon lmtp(14414): Debug: Added userdb setting: plugin/quota_rule=*:bytes=104857600 hot cache lmtp(14715): Debug: auth input: iqmon(a)mon.test.pl home=/vmail/iq/testmon_testmon quota_rule=*:bytes=104857600 lmtp(14715): Debug: Added userdb setting: plugin/quota_rule=*:bytes=104857600 this kills our dictionary based quota (users have multiple quota instances depending on timing and alias the email was delivered to. Is there a way to force addition of user to the auth cache ? -- Michal Grzedzicki

[Dovecot] imapc - different settings for different namespaces
by Timo Sirainen 20 Mar '15

20 Mar '15

Originally I was planning on allowing all kinds of mail settings inside namespace {}, including imapc_* settings. But that's a bit difficult to implement (although I think it will happen some day). So for now I was thinking: imapc foo { host = imap.foo.com master_user = foomaster password = foopass } imapc bar { host = imap.bar.com ... } namespace { prefix = foo/ location = imapc:foo } namespace { prefix = bar/ location = imapc:bar } So basically if the path after imapc isn't absolute (/path or ~/path), then treat the path as the imapc section name and use its settings. Anyone have any improvement suggestions? I was planning on adding this to v2.2.3. I'm not sure if the section names should be "imapc" or something else (e.g. imap_remote {}).

[Dovecot] Sieve vacation not working
by Phill Edwards 24 Feb '15

24 Feb '15

I've been trying all night to get vacation working in my .dovecot.sieve file. The way our email works is we have one account on dovecot which serves my mail and my wife's and we use procmail and sieve to put the emails in different folders depending on who it's for. I'm trying to set up a vacation reply on my wife's email address (aaaaaaaa@optus* below) so people can update to her new address. Here's my file with the email addresses masked: require ["fileinto", "vacation"]; if address :is "to" "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx(a)ozemail.com.au" { fileinto "Phill_OzEmail_Folder"; stop; } elsif address :is "to" "yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy(a)optusnet.com.au" { fileinto "Phill_Optus_Folder"; stop; } elsif address :matches "to" "aaaaaaaa@optus*" { vacation "Please update my email address to bbbbbbbbb(a)exemail.com.au"; fileinto "Sarah_Optus_Folder"; stop; } else { keep; stop; } The problem I'm having is that no auto-replies are sent. I removed .dovecot.lda-dupes and that didn't help; so then I touched it and now it's a 0 byte file and that didn't help. There is no dovecot.sieve.err file and I can't see anything in /var/log/dovecot.log which gives any message about why this wouldn't work. The emails to aaaaaaa@optus* get filed into the right folder so I know the matching is working. I've also tried a reject recipe and that worked fine, so I know that it can send an email if it chooses to. So it's a complete black box mystery as to why it just won't send a reply. Regards, Phill

Permissions for shared mail don't work
by Damien Desfontaines 17 Feb '15

17 Feb '15

Hello, (Sorry if you already received this mail. I sent it without having subscribed to the list, but I never got any confirmation; so I assumed it has been filtered by the anti-spam or something.) I'm using dovecot v.2.1.7 on Debian Sid, and the output of dovecot -n is available here: http://paste.fulltxt.net/C-O I'm trying to make the mailbox of (system) user "spam" available to user "ted". I followed these instructions: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Permissions and it doesn't seem to work. To be more precise: - I manually (and recursively) changed the permissions of all files in ~spam/Mail to 660 (and 770 for the directories); - I manually (and recursively) changed the group owner of everything in ~spam/Mail to "mailperso", where "mailperso" is a group whose users are spam and ted; - I added « mail_access_groups=mailperso » into my dovecot config; - and I restarted dovecot. But still, when I send a new email to spam, it appears as being owned by group "spam" and having permissions set to 600, so I can't access it with user "ted". I also tried to set the setgid bit for ~spam/Mail, it didn't change anything, and when I recursively set the setgid for all subdirectories of ~spam/Mail, it gives new mails the correct group (mailperso) but not the correct permissions. Have I missed something, or is this a bug? Thanks in advance and best regards, Damien

Sieve permissions issue following update
by David Gessel 02 Feb '15

I recently updated dovecot and my sieve filters stopped working. Checking the logs I see: Dec 9 00:09:59 mailhost dovecot: lda(gessel(a)domain.com): Error: sieve: binary save: failed to create temporary file: open(/usr/local/etc/dovecot/sieve/10-move-spam.svbin.mailhost.domain.com.114.) failed: Permission denied (euid=5000(vmail) egid=5000(vmail) missing +w perm: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/sieve, we're not in group 6(mail), dir owned by 143:6 mode=0775) Dec 9 00:09:59 mailhost dovecot: lda(gessel(a)domain.com): Error: sieve: The LDA Sieve plugin does not have permission to save global Sieve script binaries; global Sieve scripts like `/usr/local/etc/dovecot/sieve/10-move-spam.sieve' need to be pre-compiled using the sievec tool However this fairly clear advice on the failure seems to be contradicted by: # id vmail uid=5000(vmail) gid=5000(vmail) groups=5000(vmail),6(mail) ? dovecot-pigeonhole-0.4.6 = up-to-date with index dovecot2-2.2.15_1 = up-to-date with index uname -a FreeBSD host.domain.com 9.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 9.3-RELEASE #0 r268932: Mon Jul 21 15:51:38 PDT 2014 gessel@host1.domain.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/BARCELONA-13-08 amd64

Re: Maildir permissions on creation?
by Von Random 13 Jan '15

13 Jan '15

Yes, and it is not my use case, sadly. ACLs are meant for imap, not filesystem access and mail_access_groups is also useless for some reason. It just does not change anything. Probably because I don't use mail_location and variables when I provide path for home. (It's stored as is in a database on mailbox creation.) 26.12.2014, 12:07, "Tobi" <tobster(a)brain-force.ch>: > Have you checked the dovecot wiki for 'filepermissions in shared mailboxes' ? > Explains how dovecot set ACL when creating mailboxes > > Am 26.
