auth: Panic: file oauth2-request.c assertion failed

Hi, I'm running a postfix smtp relay server on which users are getting authenticated trough sasl via the dovecot authentication service. This works without problems. Recently I extended my configuration to authenticate users with the PLAIN mechanism against Azure AD B2C with oauth2 in the future. Important to mention is that currently no users are stored in Azure B2C. I only prepared the hole configuration and authentiucation falls back to mysql database. Now sometimes I get the error below in my logs (not permanently): ...

Pigeonhole redirect is adding a message-id header when it already exists
by Sébastien Riccio 04 Aug '23

04 Aug '23

Hello, We are using sieve filter to redirect incoming mails to an external mailbox (gmail) an we are seeing some forwarded e-mails being rejected by gmail because of duplicate headers. I think was able to identify the probable cause of the duplicate headers: It seems that when the original message's "Message-ID" is not compliant, pigeonhole acts like if the header is not existing and adds it's own Message-ID. This result in having two "Message-ID" headers being submitted to the destination mail server. Original Message-ID: Message-ID: 1883biz_pay_after_purchase:0:0_572392900$ae7ed6e4d53b424c84aaf83b30c507e7 Pigeon hole adds his own Message-ID: Message-ID: <dovecot-sieve-1664386049-21512-0@510faa1ff2d9> Gmail answer: 550-5.7.1 [94.103.100.17] Our system has detected that this message is not RFC 550-5.7.1 5322 compliant: duplicate headers. To reduce the amount of spam sent 550-5.7.1 to Gmail, this message has been blocked. Please review 550 5.7.1 RFC 5322 specifications for more information. While I understand the original "Message-ID" seems to be all but compliant with RFCs, shouldn't a "Message-ID" be added only when "Message-ID" is really missing ? When redirecting a message, If the original "Message-ID" exists but is bogus shouldn't it still be forwarded untouched ? Also, maybe if pigeonhole is adding it's own "Message-ID", shouldn't it remove any previous "Message-ID" to avoid generating duplicate headers ? (but maybe it could break some DKIM stuff?) Any ideas how to workaround this issue ? Thanks a lot for your feedbacks!

subscription, dots and subscribe to shared folder.
by Julien Nadal 24 Jul '23

24 Jul '23

Hello; We were able to set up shared folders in a cluster (using dovecot as proxy on dedicated front-end servers, without using director) by following https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/shared_mailboxes/cluster_setup/. Here is our related conf on imap farms (dovecot v2.3.16 on Almalinux): namespaces: mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir namespace default { inbox = yes location = prefix = separator = / } namespace shared { list = children location = imapc:~/shared/%%u:INDEXPVT=~/shared-pvt/%%u prefix = shared/%%u/ separator = / subscriptions = no type = shared } imapc settings: imapc_features = fetch-bodystructure fetch-headers rfc822.size search modseq acl delay-login imapc_host = XXXXXX imapc_master_user = %{user} imapc_password = XXXXXX imapc_port = XXXXXX passdb { args = password=#hidden_use-P_to_show# userdb_namespace/shared/disabled=yes userdb_acl_user=%{auth_user} allow_nets=XXXXX/XX driver = static master = yes } dict { acl-mysql = mysql:/etc/dovecot/conf.d/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext } This way, a folder is created under ~/ : shared & shared-pvt : When user A shares a folder with B, B will find ~/shared/userA/sharedfolder I should mention that the user authentication (backend: mysql) uses the full email address as we are in a multi-tenant context. So the folder looks like ~/shared/usera(a)domain.tld/folder Since then, everything works perfectly, we can share and see the shared folders in the webmail (SOGo). Unfortunately, accessing these folders through an imap client (tested on Thunderbird and MSOutlook) is impossible because the subscription fails (the folder is listed, but the subscription doesn't seem to do anything). I could not find any relevant logs but I was able to confirm on the command line: I am able to view folder with LIST, subscribe with an "OK" output, but the folder is not listed with LSUB. So I could see that the subscribtion file in maildir shows incorrect entries: V 2 Sent Trash Drafts Junk shared/testuser1@sub domain tld/INBOX/folder The dots in the folder names are replaced by tabs. I was able to recover things by editing the file as follows: Sent Trash Drafts Junk shared/testuser1(a)sub.domain.tld/INBOX/folder This means that Maildir++ and V2 subscription can't handle dots in folders. I found a previous discussion: https://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2021-January/121233.html But the final advice can't be applied on our side: - changing LAYOUT to FS is not possible for us - we have already migrated the dot separator to slash - changing the layout only for shared namespaces does not solve the problem and totally breaks the access to shared folders. Thanks a lot for your advice Best regards Julien

Many IDLE imap processes but very few connections moved to imap-hibernate
by pierre.alletru＠gmail.com 17 Jul '23

17 Jul '23

Hi Dovecot community! I have a strange issue with imap-hibernate. Or more likely it behaves as it's supposed to and it's just that I don't really understand it. I have enabled it, and it works, but for some reason hibernation happens only to a tiny amount of connections, whereas I have a lot of IDLE imap processes. And I can't find any relevant errors in the logs. ## config ## mail_debug = yes verbose_proctitle = yes $ doveconf imap_hibernate_timeout imap_hibernate_timeout = 5 secs $ doveconf -a | grep -A 21 'service imap-hibernate' service imap-hibernate { chroot = client_limit = 0 drop_priv_before_exec = no executable = imap-hibernate extra_groups = group = idle_kill = 0 privileged_group = process_limit = 0 process_min_avail = 0 protocol = imap service_count = 0 type = unix_listener imap-hibernate { group = $default_internal_group mode = 0660 user = } user = $default_internal_user vsz_limit = 18446744073709551615 B } ## imap processes ## $ ps aux | grep "dovecot/imap" | wc -l 2214 ps aux | grep "dovecot/imap" | grep IDLE | wc -l 1258 $ ps aux | grep "imap-hibernate" syslog 1571453 0.0 0.0 4748 3156 ? S 15:44 0:00 dovecot/imap-hibernate [18 connections] As you can see here I have 1258 IDLE imap processes (out of 2214 in total), and only 18 connections in imap-hibernate. I'd like to have all IDLE processes to be moved to imap-hibernate in order to save up memory. Any idea why these 1k+ IDLE imap processes are not moved into imap-hibernate? Thank you!

Hi, with the last dovecot version (2.3.13) I see many of this warnings via "doveadm log errors": Feb 17 03:26:28 Warning: dict(31513): conn unix:dict (pid=31330,uid=95): dict(mysql)<email1(a)company1.com>: sqlpool(mysql): Query failed, retrying: MySQL server has gone away (idled for 679 secs) Feb 17 03:48:53 Warning: dict(31013): conn unix:dict (pid=31805,uid=95): dict(mysql)<email2(a)company2.com>: sqlpool(mysql): Query failed, retrying: MySQL server has gone away (idled for 685 secs) Feb 17 03:54:12 Warning: dict(32529): conn unix:dict (pid=3147,uid=95): dict(mysql)<email3(a)company3.com>: sqlpool(mysql): Query failed, retrying: MySQL server has gone away (idled for 670 secs) What do they mean?

dovecot replication crashing
by Heiko Schlittermann 25 May '23

25 May '23

Hi, I'm a but clueless, having issues with replication. `doveadm dsync -u hans` works. But using the following replication setup, I see coredumps. Where to go next? Interestingly not for all users. (For testing purposes I've only 2 users. One having about 20 messages: here even the replication works, but the 2nd user (having about 14k messages) fails. The failure seems to happen immediatly after starting the replication attempt). I saw the replication crashing using Dovecot packages from the current Debian distro. In order to debug this, I'm now using 2.3.20, built from Git. The replicator config boils down to this (complete config is attached) replication_full_sync_interval = 90d replication_max_conns = 16 mail_plugins = $mail_plugins notify replication plugin { mail_replica = tcps:smtp-mz.example.com:9090 } service replicator { process_min_avail = 1 unix_listener replicator-doveadm { mode = 0666 } } service aggregator { fifo_listener replication-notify-fifo { user = dovecot mode = 0666 } unix_listener replication-notify { user = dovecot mode = 0666 } } The stacktrace I get looks like this: Stack trace of thread 729589: #0 0x00007f9e4f2c8ce1 __GI_raise (libc.so.6 + 0x38ce1) #1 0x00007f9e4f2b2537 __GI_abort (libc.so.6 + 0x22537) #2 0x00007f9e4f5fe8c6 default_fatal_finish (libdovecot.so.0 + 0x558c6) #3 0x00007f9e4f6ab601 i_internal_fatal_handler (libdovecot.so.0 + 0x102601) #4 0x00007f9e4f5fe589 i_panic (libdovecot.so.0 + 0x55589) #5 0x00007f9e4f5fe99e fd_set_nonblock (libdovecot.so.0 + 0x5599e) #6 0x00005564cbe6a08d cmd_dsync_ibc_stream_init (doveadm-server + 0x3008d) #7 0x00005564cbe6b772 cmd_dsync_run (doveadm-server + 0x31772) #8 0x00005564cbe6d284 doveadm_mail_next_user (doveadm-server + 0x33284) #9 0x00005564cbe6e4ba doveadm_mail_cmd_exec (doveadm-server + 0x344ba) #10 0x00005564cbe7eb71 doveadm_cmd_run_ver2 (doveadm-server + 0x44b71) #11 0x00005564cbe8300a doveadm_cmd_server_run_ver2 (doveadm-server + 0x4900a) #12 0x00007f9e4f6c1799 io_loop_call_io (libdovecot.so.0 + 0x118799) #13 0x00007f9e4f6c2e82 io_loop_handler_run_internal (libdovecot.so.0 + 0x119e82) #14 0x00007f9e4f6c1840 io_loop_handler_run (libdovecot.so.0 + 0x118840) #15 0x00007f9e4f6c1a00 io_loop_run (libdovecot.so.0 + 0x118a00) #16 0x00007f9e4f6343a3 master_service_run (libdovecot.so.0 + 0x8b3a3) #17 0x00005564cbe5d9a2 main (doveadm-server + 0x239a2) #18 0x00007f9e4f2b3d0a __libc_start_main (libc.so.6 + 0x23d0a) #19 0x00005564cbe5da2a _start (doveadm-server + 0x23a2a) 2023 Mar 28 00:09:28 clone doveadm(hans)<729589><TdSzNhcUImT1IQsAKQCViw>: Fatal: master: service(doveadm): child 729589 killed with signal 6 (core dumped) I'm a bit clueless now, even using the coredump and gdb. -- Heiko

by Soeren Malchow 25 Apr '23

25 Apr '23

Hi, i am struggeling with a managesieve problem, we are using docker mailserver and managesieve login does not work, if i understand correctly, then dovecot should offer something like this "SASL" "PLAIN" on our server it is simply empty "SASL" "" i was trying to authenticate in a telnet connection AUTHENTICATE "PLAIN" "LOGINSTRING_HERE" And i get this NO "Error in MANAGESIEVE command received by server." first of all i would like to ask where the SASL capabilites come from, how can i get it to offer "PLAIN" or "AUTH" everything else (e.g. sieve itself) just works find Cheers Soeren

Debug: open(/proc/self/io) failed: Permission denied
by Alex 24 Apr '23

24 Apr '23

Hi, I've seen a few emails over the years related to this error message, but they are typically associated with doveadm. In my case, it's related to dovecot itself. I've just set up dovecot-2.3.20-1.fc37.x86_64 on fedora37 and unable to receive mail. The main config was copied over from another dovecot system on fedora37 with virtually identical settings, including the same SSL cert. I've also tried to just migrate the important stuff and otherwise leave the defaults, but I'm having the same problem. imap(bcc-user)<2977522><rappeBf6vLZEw8Eq>: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib64/dovecot imap(bcc-user)<2977522><rappeBf6vLZEw8Eq>: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/lib20_listescape_plugin.so imap(bcc-user)<2977522><rappeBf6vLZEw8Eq>: Debug: Effective uid=1001, gid=1001, home=/home/bcc-user imap(bcc-user)<2977522><rappeBf6vLZEw8Eq>: Debug: open(/proc/self/io) failed: Permission denied imap(bcc-user)<2977522><rappeBf6vLZEw8Eq>: Debug: Namespace inbox: type=private, prefix=, sep=, inbox=yes, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes location=mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/bcc-user imap(bcc-user)<2977522><rappeBf6vLZEw8Eq>: Debug: fs: root=/home/bcc-user/mail, index=, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=/var/spool/mail/bcc-user, alt= imap(bcc-user)<2977522><rappeBf6vLZEw8Eq>: Debug: Mailbox Trash: Mailbox opened I've set the /var/spool/mail/bcc-user permissions to 600, bcc-user:mail.

dovecot sasl with postfix, smtp auth not available
by Badli Al Rashid 24 Apr '23

Hi All, I have set up dovecot sasl with postfix. When I check the smtp with ehlo there is no auth advertise. Connected to www.zystro.xyz. Escape character is '^]'. 220 www.zystro.xyz ehlo x.zystro.xyz 250-www.zystro.xyz 250-PIPELINING 250-SIZE 10485760 250-ETRN 250-STARTTLS 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES 250-8BITMIME 250-DSN 250-SMTPUTF8 250 CHUNKING I did a number of installations the auth was not shown.

dovecot-fts-solr Solr9 support
by PGNet Dev 24 Apr '23

24 Apr '23

I run dovecot-2.3.18 , & am deploying Solr search with 'dovecot-fts-solr' I run Solr standalone. When creating a dedicated 'dovecot' core, cp'ing from Dovecot's included solr schemas ls -al /usr/share/doc/dovecot/solr-* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12K Dec 3 06:48 /usr/share/doc/dovecot/solr-config-7.7.0.xml -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.7K Dec 3 06:48 /usr/share/doc/dovecot/solr-schema-7.7.0.xml -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.9K Dec 3 06:48 /usr/share/doc/dovecot/solr-schema.xml is tested only for Solr 7.7.0 https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/fts/solr/ "The steps described in this page are tested for Solr 7.7.0. For other versions, this these steps may need to be adjusted." which, per solr docs https://solr.apache.org/downloads.html About versions and support Version Description 9.x Current major version for feature releases (STABLE) 8.11.x Previous major version may sometimes receive critical bugfix releases 10 Next major version, yet to be released (UNSTABLE) <8.11 All older versions are End Of Life (EOL) is EOL'd and unsupported. In the dovecot 7.7.0 schema, FastLRUCache/LRUCache are used as the caching class(es), grep class=.*LRU /usr/share/doc/dovecot/solr-config-7.7.0.xml <filterCache class="solr.FastLRUCache" <queryResultCache class="solr.LRUCache" <documentCache class="solr.LRUCache" class="solr.search.LRUCache" For Solr 9, cat CHANGES.txt Upgrade Notes --------------------- ... * SOLR-13817: Deprecate legacy SolrCache implementations. Users are encouraged to transition their configurations to use org.apache.solr.search.CaffeineCache instead. (ab) running solr9 + dovecot-fts-solr search, based on the 7.7.0 schemas, results in errors, failed scan & search. Modifying the config to use CaffeineCache cp solr-config-7.7.0.xml solr-config-9.0.0.xml perl -pi -e '\ s|solr.FastLRUCache|solr.CaffeineCache|g; \ s|solr.LRUCache|solr.CaffeineCache|g; \ s|solr.search.LRUCache|solr.search.CaffeineCache|g;' \ solr-config-9.0.0.xml appears to do the trick. Atm, indexing & search -- both manually triggered, and on delivery receipt to Dovecot store -- is working with no errors (yet). I've not tested exhaustively yet, & don't know if this Cache class change in the schema is both necessary & sufficient for dovecot-fts-solr search use with solr 9.0.0 Given that for Solr "<8.11 All older versions are End Of Life (EOL)" it'd be useful for Dovecot to 'retest' for current, not-EOL'd Solr, and publish/package compatible schemas accordingly.
