by Giovanni Mancuso 27 Aug '19

27 Aug '19

Hi, Can i "group by" e-mails based on custom header in imap? According to my experience if i use "XX UID SEARCH INTHREAD REFS HEADER myheader myvalue" i receive emails UID gathers by HEADER+VALUE, but in this way i need to fetch all emails using several imap SEARCH. Has dovecot any features that would help me do this? Thank you!!

Trying to install Mailcrypt, receive completely blank emails
by sewing 22 Aug '19

Hi - perhaps someone can help me. Starting from a good and well-functioning mailserver setup, I have installed MailCrypt as per the instructions (I think) to have the per-user passworded keys setup. dovecot.conf /Added:/ mail_attribute_dict = file:%h/Maildir/dovecot-attributes mail_plugins = $mail_plugins mail_crypt dovecot-sql.conf.ext /commented this/ #password_query = SELECT email as user, password FROM virtual_users WHERE email='%u'; /Added this/ password_query = SELECT \ email as user, password, \ '%w' AS userdb_mail_crypt_private_password \ FROM virtual_users WHERE email='%u'; 90-plugin.conf /Updated this section/ plugin { mail_crypt_curve = secp521r1 mail_crypt_save_version = 2 /Have also tried all configurations this option set /#mail_crypt_require_encrypted_user_key = yes } /The user is in the mailserver SQL database:/ | user | password | userdb_mail_crypt_private_password | +----------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+------------------------------------+ | user@domain | 4t63ttt36tttttt3rt6r763r76t8998t858t4y48ht4huu4hti.76876t847t47yt4ty478yt4wgwygfwffweggggggggggwy8yey83//FElgiApZU. | %w /I have reissued the keys as other problem resolutions have instructed to do, and I can see the new keys are active./ doveadm -o plugin/mail_crypt_private_password=(same password as user@domain when created in SQL) mailbox cryptokey generate -u user@domain -UR /I have restarted dovecot and postfix each time./ /I then send an email either from the user@domain > user@domain OR otheruser@otherdomain > user@domain from Outlook. Authentication is fine (POP and SMTP). No errors appear in any logs - the logs show the mail as being received and I can see the mail in the user@domain /cur folder. If I try to Postcat any of these messages I get:/ postcat '1*********2.M**********3.(host),S=633,W=649:2,S' *** ENVELOPE RECORDS 1*********2.M*********3.(host),S=633,W=649:2,S *** message_size: YPTED postcat: fatal: invalid size record: YPTED??? */Within a minute or so I receive the email in the Outlook Inbox - except it is completely empty of anything.

If I deactivate Mailcrypt all mailboxes/user-accounts work fine. Any ideas??? I would like to get the working - thanks in advance for your expertise and time!/ Graham -- Sent from: http://dovecot.2317879.n4.nabble.com/

imapsieve suddenly not working anymore
by Thomas Stein 21 Aug '19

21 Aug '19

Hello one and all. Dovecot version 2.3.7.1 I've configured imapsieve like https://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/AntispamWithSieve a while a go and it worked for years now. Suddenly i noticed moving mails to the spamfolder does not trigger the report-spam.sieve script anymore. sieve-test gives: ~/.maildir/.Spam/cur $ sieve-test /usr/share/dovecot/sieve/report-spam.sieve 1542388745.M99384P16720.meine-oma.de\,S\=8173\,W\=8373\:2\,S -D sieve-test(himbeere): Debug: sieve: Pigeonhole version 0.5.7.1 (db5c74be) initializing sieve-test(himbeere): Debug: sieve: include: sieve_global is not set; it is currently not possible to include `:global' scripts. sieve-test(himbeere): Debug: sieve: Sieve imapsieve plugin for Pigeonhole version 0.5.7.1 (db5c74be) loaded sieve-test(himbeere): Debug: sieve: Sieve Extprograms plugin for Pigeonhole version 0.5.7.1 (db5c74be) loaded debug: file storage: Using Sieve script path: /usr/share/dovecot/sieve/report-spam.sieve. debug: file script: Opened script `report-spam' from `/usr/share/dovecot/sieve/report-spam.sieve'. debug: Script binary /usr/share/dovecot/sieve/report-spam.svbin successfully loaded. debug: binary save: not saving binary /usr/share/dovecot/sieve/report-spam.svbin, because it is already stored. report-spam: error: the imapsieve extension cannot be used outside IMAP. sieve-test(himbeere): Info: final result: failed; resolved with successful implicit keep ~/.maildir/.Spam/cur $ I'm not sure the "the imapsieve extension cannot be used outside IMAP" is the error already or thats only because the sieve-test script. Any ideas on that? cheers, t.

maildir very dirty sync option
by Yousif Alkhateeb 20 Aug '19

20 Aug '19

Hello , I have an active passive dovecot setup with glusterfs as a mail storage and using maildirs, we used to have a problem when users with large mailboxes sync their folders. This caused the load average to increase in the server , after a while we have enabled the very_dirty_sync option in dovecot , things got better and the problem disappeared but we need to know if there is any thing else that we need to do or know about the very_dirty_sync option that may cause future problems . Thanks in advance

Dovecot and Oauth
by Michael Hallager 20 Aug '19

20 Aug '19

Hi all, I am considering expanding a mail server to support Oauth with Google. I have read through the following: https://wiki.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase/oauth2 however, it doesn't work and appears to me to be missing important information, the least of which is API authorisation. Searching with Google, I can't find any more information beyond what amounts to C&P'ing of the above link. Has anyone successfully deployed Oauth with Google and could they please send me their config files? Thanks, Michael

Dovecot and hard links?

I was looking at a mail folder and I noted that a file in the inbox had a total of 11 hard links to it: 👹 # exa -lH cur/1564249738.M167990P53982.mail.covisp.net,S=8572,W=8738:2,Sgl .rw------- 11 8.6k vpopmail 19 Jul 19:59 cur/1564249738.M167990P53982.mail.covisp.net,S=8572,W=8738:2,Sgl 👹 # find . -samefile cur/1564249738.M167990P53982.mail.covisp.net,S=8572,W=8738:2,Sgl [6:59] [/usr/local/virtual/kreme(a)kreme.com/Maildir] ./.Junk/cur/1564253637.M808919P50422.mail.covisp.net,S=8572,W=8738:2,bc ./.Junk/cur/1564253637.M808920P50422.mail.covisp.net,S=8572,W=8738:2,bc ./.Junk/cur/1564253723.M977674P50422.mail.covisp.net,S=8572,W=8738:2,bc ./.Junk/cur/1564253723.M977675P50422.mail.covisp.net,S=8572,W=8738:2,bc ./.Junk/cur/1564253723.M977676P50422.mail.covisp.net,S=8572,W=8738:2,bc ./.Junk/cur/1563587951.M591499P47868.mail.covisp.net,S=8572,W=8738:2, ./.Junk/cur/1564851795.M381461P10380.mail.covisp.net,S=8572,W=8738:2,bc ./.Junk/cur/1564851795.M381462P10380.mail.covisp.net,S=8572,W=8738:2,bc ./.Junk/cur/1564852369.M760020P10380.mail.covisp.net,S=8572,W=8738:2,bc ./.Trash/cur/1563587951.M591499P47868.mail.covisp.net,S=8572,W=8738:2,S ./cur/1564249738.M167990P53982.mail.covisp.net,S=8572,W=8738:2,Sgl A bit of background: a few weeks ago I had thousands of files in the mail store that had hundreds of links, and I got that all cleaned up through juggling some grep and awk to delete all but one of the linked files. I figured this was caused by something I’d done when I moved local users into being virtual users and eliminated pam authentication in favor of sql. But this gives me pause. I think it’s normal for a file in the INBOX that is marked as junk or as deleted to have a single hard link (or at least it is since the default was set to maildir_copy_with_hardlinks), but 11? And when do these hard links get cleaned off? If I delete the trashed and junked messages, when does dovecot go through and removed the linked files in the cur/ folder? (It’s not immediate, I trashed those copies in Junk and Trash and the original file is still in the cur folder) -- There is nothing so stupid that some person somewhere will not, with earnestness, say it.
