[Dovecot] How to disable SSL and TLSv1.1?
by Darren Pilgrim 16 Aug '16

16 Aug '16

I'm running Dovecot 2.2.5 and want to make it refuse SSLv2, SSLv3 and TLSv1.0. Clients will opportunistically use TLS 1.1 and 1.2, but now I want require they do so. Is it enough to set ssl_cipher_list = HIGH:!SSLv2:!SSLv3:!TLSv1.0:!aNULL:!MD5 or are there additional settings I need to specify?

Bug with shared access to mailbox
by van der Kamp, John 15 Aug '16

15 Aug '16

Hello, I'm testing dovecot with some setups, and one of them is with shared mailboxes. The test I wrote will create and delete mail using multiple connections to the same user and folder. Each connection makes a couple of mails, remembers the uid from APPENDUID, and will delete those emails again. At the end of the test I expect an empty folder. This is not what happens. At the end I still have several mails in the folder. I lack insight in the dovecot source to tell exactly what's going on. I've tested this with different setups: 1) local system user, connecting over localhost -> bug is present 2) local system user, connecting over internet -> bug is present, but is harder to reproduce 3) dovecot as proxy to another imap server -> bug is present In step 3, you can even setup a dovecot to be a proxy to another dovecot server. >From logging in the other imap server I've seen that a client command to the proxy like: TAG UID STORE 1:3 +FLAGS (\Deleted) TAG UID EXPUNGE 1:3 will be sent to the other imap server in 3 steps, one for each message. When running the test with multiple threads, that logging shows that some uids are never sent to the other imap server, and some uids are sent over different connections than they original were sent to. (Thread 1 deletes 1:3, Thread 2 deletes 4:6, the proxy of Thread 1 might expunge messages from Thread 2 and vice versa). Attached is a python script which tests the behavior. The script expects a file named "testmail.eml" to upload to the imap server. I used an email which was about 75 kB. I tested using version: 2.2.22 (fe789d2). Let me know if I can help in any other way too. John

Dovecot Director self ip
by Tomaž 12 Aug '16

12 Aug '16

Hello everybody! I kindly ask somebody to help me with this problem. I'm trying to configure Dovecot proxy with Director. On the same machine is KeepAlived that needs this configured to bind non local IP: sysctl net.ipv4.ip_nonlocal_bind=1 But as already mentioned in this email: http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2012-November/087033.html Dovecot Director needs sysctl net.ipv4.ip_nonlocal_bind=0 (if this is set, everything works ok, but we break keepalived) because otherwise the second server uses IP from the first server as "self". Is it possible to configure this some other way, so Dovecot Director doesn't try to bind to all IPs and because of above configuration, uses the first one that binds. This is the result from director status on server 1: root@u1:~# doveadm director ring status director ip port type last failed status 172.16.100.191 9090 self never handshaking 172.16.100.192 9090 never handshaking and server 2: root@u2:/var/log# doveadm director ring status director ip port type last failed status 172.16.100.191 9090 self never handshaking 172.16.100.192 9090 never My dovecot config: http://pastebin.com/RnmHRWhY Thank you very much!

Dovecot and Solr 6
by KSB 05 Aug '16

05 Aug '16

Hi! Dovecot 2.2.24 Had set up solr and new schema collection. Copied dovecot provided schema. There was an error with booleans (while getting schema via http), which I "solved" by removing "add-unknown-fields-to-the-schema" from solrconfig.xml. It is correct way to solve this? Anyway, I run tcpdump to see network activity between dovecot and solr: #tcpdump -i lo port 8983 and see nothing while doing: #doveadm fts rescan -u username(a)domain.tld no output also from doveadm. Noticed that dovecot.index.log reapears in user mail root if deleted. plugin { fts = solr fts_solr = url=http://localhost:8983/solr/dovecot/ debug .. } -- KSB

New password hashing scheme as plugin
by Andreas Meyer 05 Aug '16

05 Aug '16

Hi, I want to add a new password hashing scheme as plugin and provide it for the dovecot project, so that it will be included as optional plugin in future releases. Yet the plugin compiles fine and the .so file gets created. My approach is to call the functions password_scheme_register() and password_scheme_unregister() (src/auth/password-scheme.c) inside the plugin's _init() and _deinit() functions. When a client tries to login via imap the log shows an error message: Error: Couldn't load required plugin /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lib20_newauth_plugin.so: dlopen() failed: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lib20_newauth_plugin.so: undefined symbol: password_scheme_unregister That error obviously occurs, because the required lib is not linked into the plugin. Now my problem is to understand, whether this approach (via .so file) can be successful at all and if so, how? Do I need to link libs into it? Which would that be and how do I specify them in the Makefile.am? I assume, I don't need to link a lib, but need to use a hook to register the new hashing scheme, since the plugin is loaded into an already existing process, which needs to get extended. If this is true, which hook would that be and how do I register the new scheme? Or is there no way to accomplish this via a separated .so plugin? Should I extend the sources in /src/auth instead? (separat file for the hashing scheme with preprocessor instructions to include it only on demand) Thank you very much, Andreas

SSL connection reset by peer
by Vince42 04 Aug '16

04 Aug '16

Hi, I am running a dovecot server and have set up an external monitoring, where every five minutes a login with SSL on port 993 is done. I usually get once a day an error "connection reset by peer - SSL connect", which goes away until the next monitor is executed. Initially I thought that raising the mail_max_userip_connections in protocol imap in 20-imap.conf to 256 should do the trick - but the error stays. What could be the reason for this error and which configuration values could be changed in order to avoid this error? I read a lot of different suggestions - but did not find a plausible explanation and recommendation. Thanks in advance! -- Cheers, \\|// Vince (o o) ----------------------------ooO-(_)-Ooo------------------------- ''' (o)_(o) [ ][0][ ] ô¿ô (=°o°=) World Domination by Copy and Paste [ ][ ][0] - (")_(") [0][0][0] () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments Ooo. ---------------------------.ooO----( )------------------------- ( ) (_/ \_)

Hi all, I have an AD testsetup with auth_bind setting auth_bind_userdn = "spdev\\%Ln" I created a testuser "claasc (test)" which works fine in all ldapfilters but not for the auth_bind. the log shows everything correct just "invalid credentials" mail.debug: Jun 9 14:12:31 dovecot: auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=12202) mail.debug: Jun 9 14:12:31 dovecot: auth: Debug: client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=imap secured session=T6knVtc0wQB/AAAB lip=127.0.0.1 rip=127.0.0.1 lport=143 rport=39873 mail.debug: Jun 9 14:12:31 dovecot: auth: Debug: client passdb out: CONT 1 mail.debug: Jun 9 14:12:31 dovecot: auth: Debug: client in: CONT<hidden> mail.debug: Jun 9 14:12:31 dovecot: auth: Debug: passwd-file(claasc (test),127.0.0.1,<T6knVtc0wQB/AAAB>): cache miss mail.debug: Jun 9 14:12:31 dovecot: auth: Debug: passwd-file(claasc (test),127.0.0.1,<T6knVtc0wQB/AAAB>): lookup: user=claasc (test) file=/etc/dovecot/passwd.postmaster mail.info: Jun 9 14:12:31 dovecot: auth: passwd-file(claasc (test),127.0.0.1,<T6knVtc0wQB/AAAB>): unknown user (given password: HubertHans99) mail.debug: Jun 9 14:12:31 dovecot: auth: Debug: ldap(claasc (test),127.0.0.1,<T6knVtc0wQB/AAAB>): cache miss mail.info: Jun 9 14:12:31 dovecot: auth: ldap(claasc (test),127.0.0.1,<T6knVtc0wQB/AAAB>): invalid credentials mail.debug: Jun 9 14:12:33 dovecot: auth: Debug: client passdb out: FAIL 1 user=claasc (test) mail.info: Jun 9 14:12:33 dovecot: imap-login: Aborted login (auth failed, 1 attempts in 2 secs): user=<claasc (test)>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured, session=<T6knVtc0wQB/AAAB> So I guess its just a bind problem. strace output from auth process of imap login: write(26, "0-\2\1\4`(\2\1\3\4\25spdev\\claasc \$test\$\200\fHubertHans99", 47) = 47 the additional \\ in front of the brackets look strange to me and might be the reason. tested Version is 2.2.18 Greetz Matze

IMAP flags and dovecot-keywords not working as expected
by Mark Foley 01 Aug '16

01 Aug '16

I've converted most of our users from Outlook to Thunderbird. One important feature of Thunderbird is that it pays attention to the IMAP non-standard message flags via the 'tags' feature (see http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/Maildir). This is important because 2 users make extensive use of Outlook categories (Tags, in Thunderbird). I found that when I set a message to the 1st Tbird tag 0 (Important), the corresponding IMAP file got an 'a' suffix. Likewise, if I manually added an 'a' suffix to an IMAP file the corresponding tag was set displayed in Thunderbird. This made it easy for me to exports Outlook Categories and set IMAP messages flags accordingly. This worked perfectly on the user I was experimenting with (me). Recently, I converted one of these Outlook 'categories' users to Thunderbird. I added the appropriate flag letters to their IMAP messages, changed their tag names in Thunderbird, and created the following dovecot-keywords file as: 0 Board_and_Committee 1 Completed 2 Health_Care_meetings 3 Notifications 4 OSHP-DAS 5 personal_or_To_Do 6 Retirement_exits 7 $label5 8 Junk 9 $Forwarded 10 $MDNSent 11 $label2 However, none of the tags show up correctly in Thunderbird. If I manually set a message to have a tag of 0, the corresponding IMAP file gets a flag of 'm', not 'a' and the following is added to the dovecot-keywords files: 12 $label1 How can I fix this? Where is "$label1" text defined? Why did Thunderbird not snag the text for '0' from the dovecot-keywords file and give the IMAP file a tag of 'a'? My current theory is that the "Default" Thunderbird Tags corresponding to IMAP flags are not changeable and if new tags are create in Tbird, they get new flag letters. That would, of course, mean that if a user changes Thunderbird tag name, they would lose all tag settings on existing message. That doesn't seem right and I hope my theory is wrong. Any insight would be appreciated. --Mark
