How to enable LDAP authentication for schema SSHA384
by Ralph Seichter 08 Nov '21

08 Nov '21

While using LDAP-based authentication, I have come across the message auth: Error: [...] Unknown scheme SSHA384 Based on the docs at [1] I use the dovecot.org packages provided for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS which, as you can see, are not yet documented in the HTML page, put are available via [2]. Specifically, I used apt-get install dovecot-ldap dovecot-sqlite to install Dovecot. What else is needed beyond the two listed packages in order to enable support for SSHA384 password hashes in Dovecot? Am I perhaps missing some required configuration parameter? Your help is appreciated. -Ralph [1] https://doc.dovecot.org/installation_guide/dovecot_community_repositories/u… [2] http://repo.dovecot.org/ce-2.3-latest/ubuntu/focal/

auth-cache on disk?

Hello, As far as I understand - auth cache it stored in memory, isn't it? Is there a way for it to survive Dovecot restart? -- Przemyslaw Kwiatkowski

Moving old emails to Gmail
by Rob Campbell 06 Nov '21

06 Nov '21

I have a backup of mail messages I have from back when i was in school using pine and I want to have them imported to my Gmail. So I set up dovecot and my Gmail can access it just fine but it can't find anything except my inbox (which I can't even find). I've moved my mail directory and I can view the emails using alpine but I cannot view my inbox using alpine. Also, although Gmail can get my new test messages, it can't find the messages in ~/mail where I am viewing them with alpine. How do I make it so Gmail can pull from ~/mail or ~/Maildir because I also converted the messages in ~/mail to ~/Maildir format but although I've tried mail_location = mbox:~/mail mail_location = mbox:~/Maildir mail_location = maildir:~/mail and mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir None of this worked but mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir is the only one that will at least allow me to get test messages in my inbox which Gmail can then pull. How do I resolve these issues? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In all things, Be Intentional.

stale (?) .dovecot.svbin causing segfault in dovecot-lda
by Matthieu Herrb 05 Nov '21

Hi, I've not touched the sieve filters I'm using for a long time (last modification 2 years ago), but I've upgraded the dovecot package and the system of my mail server. ~/.dovecot.svbin has not been updated, but I found out today that it would cause dovecot-lda to crash on some specifig messages (and fail to deliver them). Most of the mails (>99.9%) are delivered ok though. Here's the trace of the crash in the system logs : Nov 3 08:48:13 nowhere dovecot: lda(matthieu)<33178><DvDOErY+gmGagQAAB9SSGw>: Panic: Buffer write out of range (0 + 1) Nov 3 08:48:15 nowhere smtpd[37379]: ac2aaecba4099baa mda delivery evpid=b9346ef1d2a6c223 from=<REDACTED> to=<matthieu(a)herrb.eu> rcpt=<matthieu(a)herrb.eu> user=matthieu delay=12s result=PermFail stat=Error ("Abort trap (core dumped) ") After removing the old file, dovecot-lda is able to deliver the message that caused the crash whitout issues. Shouldn't ~/.dovecot.svbin be automatically be re-generated on dovecot version changes ? or is it dependant on other things (like system libs changing) ? Some details: I'm running OpenBSD (7.0 right now, was 6.9 before and probably 6.5 the last time .dovecot.svbin was generated). My logs show that the issue has also been happening with OpenBSD 6.9, but I never noticed until today). OpenSMTP is configured to deliver the message through dovecot-lda with: action "deliver" \ mda "/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda" \ alias <aliases> in /etc/mail/smtpd.conf Below is the output of doveadm config : # 2.3.16 (7e2e900c1a): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.5.16 (09c29328) # OS: OpenBSD 7.0 amd64 ffs # Hostname: nowhere.herrb.eu # NOTE: Send doveconf -n output

dsync-trouble
by Hanns Mattes 05 Nov '21

05 Nov '21

Hi, dsync and replication are failing. They used to work, so I guess, it might be related to the update to 2.3.17. This is a fresh install of Freebsd 13. Please let me know, if further Information is needed (I haven't follow Odhiambos advice from another thread yet, but will follow, if requested) With replication-plugin disabled: # doveadm sync -u xxx(a)zzz.de tcps:mail.bruecko.de doveadm(xxx(a)zzz.de): Panic: file array.c: line 10 (array_idx_modifiable_i): assertion failed: (idx < array->buffer->used / array->element_size) Abort enabled plugin (btw: what makes dovecot trying to sync accounts on a fresh install, though the other server isn't configured to replicate with freebsd.bruecko.de): Nov 3 19:08:28 freebsd dovecot[68537]: doveadm(x.zzzz(a)yyy.de)<91733><IT8dBxzQgmFVZgEAA4a8sQ>: Fatal: master: service(doveadm): child 91733 killed with signal 6 (core not dumped - https://dovecot.org/bugreport.html#coredumps) I didn't follow Odhiambos advice from another thread yet, but do, if requested.

Recovering deleted messages?
by Sean McBride 05 Nov '21

05 Nov '21

Hi all, I've run postfix and dovecot for years, but they have been so trouble-free that I've never really learned in-depth how they work. :) But now I have a user who accidentally used a POP client, and it deleted all his email. He told me this only days later, and it's now been days later still, and so of course he has sent and received email since. I have backups of course, but it is a feasible thing to 'merge' the deleted emails from the backup into his current mailboxes? I couldn't find any FAQ for such a scenario, so thought I'd ask here... Thanks, Sean

mail_location for doveadm?
by Grant Keller 05 Nov '21

Hello, I am working on getting doveadm commands working from a director to a backend server and I am hitting a bit of a roadblock. We use a homebrew hashing algorithm for mail_location, which we set for users in postlogin scripts.

Memory leaks in dovecot

Dovecot v2.3.17 released
by Aki Tuomi 04 Nov '21

04 Nov '21

We are pleased to release v2.3.17 of Dovecot. Please note that 2.3.17 release will be the last one to support Debian/Stretch since Bullseye is now supported. https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.17.tar.gz https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.17.tar.gz.sig Binary packages in https://repo.dovecot.org/ Docker images in https://hub.docker.com/r/dovecot/dovecot Regards Aki Tuomi Open-Xchange oy --- * Dovecot now logs a warning if time seems to jump forward at least 100 milliseconds. * dict: Lines logged by the dict process now contain the dict name as the prefix. * lib-index: mail_cache_fields, mail_always_cache_fields and mail_never_cache_fields now verifies that the listed header names are valid. Especially the UTF8 "–" character has sometimes been wrongly used instead of the ASCII "-". + *-login: Added login_proxy_rawlog_dir setting to capture rawlogs between proxy and backend. + dict: The server process now keeps the last 10 idle dict backends cached for maximum of 30 seconds. Practically this acts as a connection pool for dict-redis and dict-ldap. Note that this doesn't affect dict-sql, because it already had its own internal cache. + doveadm: New stats add/remove commands added to support changing the metrics configuration on runtime. + lazy_expunge: Added lazy_expunge_exclude settings to disable lazy_expunge for specific folders. \Special-use flags can be used as folder names. + lib-lua: Added a new helper function dovecot.restrict_global_variables() to disable or enable defining new global variables. - LAYOUT=index List index rebuild was missing. - LAYOUT=index: Duplicate GUIDs were not detected. - acl: When using acl_ignore_namespace Dovecot attempted to access or create dovecot-acl-list even when the namespace should have been ignored. For virtual namespaces this could have yielded errors about "Read-only file system" or "Permission denied". - auth: Setting the "master" passdb field to empty value would cause proxying to fail with an authentication error. Now an empty "master" field is ignored. - doveadm-server: Duplicate error lines were sent for failed commands. This didn't normally cause visible problems, except when using wildcards in usernames or -A parameter to go through multiple users. - doveadm-server: Logs written by doveadm-server were often missing log prefixes, especially mail_log_prefix for mail commands. Logs sent to doveadm TCP client were also missing log prefixes. - doveadm: v2.3 regression: batch command always crashes. - doveadm: v2.3.11 regression: Commands failed if ssl_cert or ssl_key files weren't readable by the user running doveadm, even though doveadm didn't actually use these settings - imap-hibernate: Process may crash at deinit: Panic: file ioloop.c: line 928 (io_loop_destroy): assertion failed: (ioloop->cur_ctx == NULL). - imap: Using imap_fetch_failure=no-after can cause assert-crash with some IMAP commands if reading the mail fails (e.g. wrong cached mail size). Fixes: Panic: file index-mail-headers.c: line 198 (index_mail_parse_header_init): assertion failed: (!mail->data.header_parser_initialized) - imap: v2.3.10 regression: When using INDEXPVT to enable private \Seen flags (for shared or public namespaces) the STORE command did not send untagged replies for the \Seen flag changes. - imap: v2.3.15 regression: If PREVIEW/SNIPPET is not the final FETCH option in the command, the IMAP FETCH response is broken. - imap: v2.3.15 regression: MOVE command leaks mailbox if it can't be opened and crashes at deinit: Panic: file mail-user.c: line 229 (mail_user_deinit): assertion failed: ((*user)->refcount == 1). - imapc: Copying nonexistent mail via imapc could have crashed. Fixes: Panic: file mail-storage.c: line 2385 (mailbox_transaction_commit_get_changes): assertion failed: (ret < 0 || seq_range_count(&changes_r->saved_uids) == save_count || array_count(&changes_r->saved_uids) == 0). - indexer: v2.3.15 regression: Process crashes if indexer-client disconnects while it's waiting for command reply. This happened for example if IMAP SEARCH triggered long fts indexing and the IMAP client disconnected while waiting for the reply. - indexer: v2.3.15 regression: Process may have crashed in some situations. - indexer: v2.3.15 regression: indexer-worker processes may not have reached the process_limit in some situations, possibly even using just one indexer-worker process even though there were many indexing requests queued. - lib-compression: Reading lz4 compressed mdbox mails may crash. Fixes: Panic: file istream.c: line 345 (i_stream_read_memarea): assertion failed: (!stream->blocking). - lib-compression: bench-compress crashes due to xz being read-only. - lib-lua: Fix linking libdict_lua for non-GNU linkers when Lua support is disabled. - lib-mail: There was no limit on how large an email header name could be. Processable header names are now limited to 1000 bytes. - lib-oauth2: Dovecot disallowed JWT tokens if their validity time was older than token creation time (nbf < iat). - lib-storage: Reduce memory footprint of certain storage operations. - lib-storage: When listing mailboxes with storage name escape characters (^ or .) as part of the mailbox name, the listing could show corrupted mailbox names. Due to an issue in handling escaped parent folders, the listing of other mailbox names would become corrupted by prepending parts of the previously listed mailboxes parent folder as prefix to the actual mailbox names. The corruption can occur when using LAYOUT=INDEX and maildir or obox, or when using the listescape plugin. - mail-crypt: Fix "-O" argument for "doveadm mailbox cryptokey password" command to be a boolean, and not expect a string. - submission-login: Add support for not authenticating to next hop in submission proxying. - submission-login: EHLO was not sent again after XCLIENT when doing submission proxying. - virtual: Mailboxes do not correctly detect underlying mailboxes getting re-created even though they have a different UIDVALIDITY or GUID.
