moving messages between namespaces go into purge
by Marc 07 Dec '22

07 Dec '22

I think it would be nice to have an option where the moving of messages between namespaces (by automated server scripts) would not result in messages ending up in the 'purge' queue. Currently when you move these copied messages, they end up in the purge queue combined with messages that users deleted. I am more or less forced to purge the mailbox after moving GB's while I prefer not to do this, because I would like to keep the opportunity to recover from the purge queue. Maybe there is a way to 'deduplicate' this purge queue?

lmtp with sieve editheader Panic: file edit-mail.c: line 1809 (merge_from_parent): assertion failed

Hi, I have experienced a crash in lmtp delivery on some mails when sieve editheader plugin is used. The first one was an "analytics mail" from azure exchange. I stripped down the mail to the relevant parts that trigger this error. log message: lmtp(johnd)<27019><VM4XLJVVj2OLaQAA/TOvIg>: Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(backtrace_append+0x42) [0x7f3048ca0b72] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(backtrace_get+0x1e) [0x7f3048ca0c8e] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0xff5eb) [0x7f3048cad5eb] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0xff681) [0x7f3048cad681] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x542c4) [0x7f3048c022c4] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-sieve.so.0(+0x2e11d) [0x7f304841811d] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_stream_read_memarea+0x74) [0x7f3048cb92d4] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x10eb05) [0x7f3048cbcb05] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x10f0a9) [0x7f3048cbd0a9] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_stream_read_memarea+0x74) [0x7f3048cb92d4] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_stream_read+0x3a) [0x7f3048cb94ba] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x112f51) [0x7f3048cc0f51] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_stream_read_memarea+0x74) [0x7f3048cb92d4] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_stream_read+0x3a) [0x7f3048cb94ba] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_stream_read_data+0x3d) [0x7f3048cb9ddd] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_stream_copy+0x74) [0x7f3048cd28f4] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(o_stream_send_istream+0x4f) [0x7f3048cd25ef] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(index_storage_save_continue+0x29) [0x7f3048e5dd39] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(maildir_save_continue+0x20) [0x7f3048e07930] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mailbox_save_continue+0x3a) [0x7f3048ddff3a] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_storage_copy+0xb1) [0x7f3048dd0b71] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-lda.so.0(+0x475b) [0x7f3048eed75b] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(+0x6439f) [0x7f3048de039f] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-sieve.so.0(+0x52ff4) [0x7f304843cff4] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-sieve.so.0(+0x473e9) [0x7f30484313e9] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-sieve.so.0(+0x482a0) [0x7f30484322a0] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-sieve.so.0(sieve_result_execute+0x1af) [0x7f3048432fbf] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-sieve.so.0(sieve_multiscript_finish+0x218) [0x7f3048446f38] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/lib90_sieve_plugin.so(+0x4030) [0x7f3048ba9030] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-lda.so.0(mail_deliver+0x16f) [0x7f3048eee8ef] lmtp(johnd)<27019><VM4XLJVVj2OLaQAA/TOvIg>: Fatal: master: service(lmtp): child 27019 killed with signal 6 (core dumps disabled - https://dovecot.org/bugreport.html#coredumps) the sieve script only has one addheader line require ["editheader","fileinto","body", "include"]; addheader :last "X-Long-Duration" "XXX"; I will attach doveconf and the lmtp communication. inserted to lmtp with: socat - UNIX-CONNECT:$lmtp_socket <<<"$(<$file)" greetz Matze

Sieve: fileinto a subfolder of inbox
by Federico Fanton 05 Dec '22

05 Dec '22

Hi everyone! I'm trying to write a sieve script that moves emails to a *subfolder* of the inbox. My script: require ["envelope", "fileinto", "mailbox"]; if anyof( address "to" "support(a)domain.cc", address "cc" "support(a)domain.cc", envelope "to" "support(a)domain.cc" ) { fileinto :create "INBOX.support"; } But this creates a new "support" folder BESIDE the inbox, not INSIDE it. I've tried replacing "INBOX.support" with "INBOX/support" but then I get an error: "Name must not have '/' characters" Is there something else I could try? Here is the output of dovecot -n: # 2.3.4.1 (f79e8e7e4): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.5.4 () # OS: Linux 4.19.0-21-amd64 x86_64 Debian 10.0 ext4 auth_mechanisms = plain login lda_mailbox_autosubscribe = yes mail_location = maildir:/home/vmail/maildir/%d/%n/Maildir mail_plugins = " zlib lazy_expunge" mail_privileged_group = vmail managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date index ihave duplicate mime foreverypart extracttext namespace { hidden = yes list = no location = maildir:/home/vmail/maildir/%d/%n/Maildir/expunged prefix = .EXPUNGED/ separator = / } namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { auto = subscribe special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = } passdb { driver = pam } passdb { args = scheme=SHA1 /etc/dovecot/users.conf driver = passwd-file } plugin { lazy_expunge = .EXPUNGED/ sieve = file:~/sieve;active=~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_vacation_default_period = 1d sieve_vacation_to_header_ignore_envelope = yes } protocols = imap sieve service auth { executable = /usr/lib/dovecot/auth unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-master { group = vmail mode = 0600 user = vmail } } service doveadm { inet_listener { port = 24242 } } service imap-login { process_limit = 200 } service stats { unix_listener stats-reader { group = vmail mode = 0660 user = vmail } unix_listener stats-writer { group = vmail mode = 0660 user = vmail } } ssl_cipher_list = ALL:!LOW:!SSLv2:ALL:!aNULL:!ADH:!eNULL:!EXP:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM ssl_client_ca_dir = /etc/ssl/certs ssl_dh = # hidden, use -P to show it ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it userdb { driver = passwd } userdb { args = uid=1001 gid=1001 home=/home/vmail/maildir/%d/%n allow_all_users=yes driver = static } protocol lda { mail_plugins = " zlib lazy_expunge sieve" } protocol imap { imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail mail_max_userip_connections = 20 } local 192.168.2.0/24 { doveadm_allowed_commands = sieve list,sieve get,sieve put,sieve activate,sieve deactivate doveadm_password = # hidden, use -P to show it } Many thanks for your time!

Backups and disaster recovery
by GDS 04 Dec '22

04 Dec '22

Hello all! After reading some of the past threads on backups, I was wondering if I could get a sanity check... I run a Maildir configuration for a small (10 mailboxes) mail server. Using "doveadm backup", for each mailbox I do: - Weekly full backups and then copy the files to a network-based filesystem.- Daily incremental backups and then copy the files to a network-based filesystem. My recovery assumption is that in case of hardware failure, I would re-set up the mail service and for each mailbox I will recover at the right directory the latest full mailbox backup and on top of it, each incremental backup to the latest day. Does this sound like a sound strategy? Also, I was thinking of setting up a second dovecot server on another server and replicating my primary on an hourly basis to decrease recovery time. But I looked at mbsync and it seems to require mailbox login/password for each mailbox (which I don't have). Is there an alternative? Thank you!

HIGHESTMODSEQ not increasing
by Ronny Forberger 04 Dec '22

04 Dec '22

Hi, I have a problem with my Dovecot IMAP Server on Debian Linux. I migrated it from FreeBSD to Debian, but since then the HIGHESTMODSEQ value for INBOX is not increasing, when I receive new e-mail. This causes my Groupware not to report any new e-mail via ActiveSync. Here is the protocol transscript: [I] <~>-> openssl s_client -crlf -connect mail.forberger-online.de:993 CONNECTED(00000003) [...] --- read R BLOCK * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE LITERAL+ AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN] Dovecot (Debian) ready.

The Groupware's IMAP client library is reporting, that MODSEQ is not increasing. It stays at 190086, nevertheless I receive new e-mail. I have tried the commands doveadm index and doveadm force-resync on the INBOX, without any change. My filesystem where the mailboxes reside is on ext4. Can you help me what is wrong? Best regards, Ronny Forberger -- Ronny Forberger ronnyforberger(a)ronnyforberger.de
