managesieve problem
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

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.

Indexer opening emails in write mode ?

Thanks for your advice

sieve traces not logged
by Christian Weiske 23 Apr '23

23 Apr '23

Hello, Some sieve filters do not work as expected and I want to debug why. For that I configured in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/90-sieve.conf sieve_trace_dir = /var/log/dovecot/ sieve_trace_level = matching and created /var/log/dovecot/ and gave it the user+group "Debian-exim". Unfortunately, no logs are written into that direcory. The normal log file in /var/log/dovecot.log contains no information - except that lmtp stored the mail in mailbox "test". The docs[1] only say that those two options need to be enabled. Sieve itself works, which I confirmed by creating a rule that moves mails with subject "test" into a separate folder. What am I doing wrong? ---- $ dovecot --version 2.3.20 (80a5ac675d) Running on Debian 11, packages from https://repo.dovecot.org/ce-2.3-latest/debian/bullseye Full sieve config from "dovecot -n": plugin { imapsieve_mailbox1_before = file:/var/lib/dovecot/sieve/learn-spam.sieve imapsieve_mailbox1_causes = COPY imapsieve_mailbox1_name = Spam imapsieve_mailbox2_before = file:/var/lib/dovecot/sieve/learn-ham.sieve imapsieve_mailbox2_causes = COPY imapsieve_mailbox2_from = Spam imapsieve_mailbox2_name = * sieve = file:~/sieve;active=~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_default = /var/lib/dovecot/sieve/default.sieve sieve_global_extensions = +vnd.dovecot.pipe +vnd.dovecot.environment sieve_pipe_bin_dir = /etc/dovecot/sieve-bin/ sieve_plugins = sieve_imapsieve sieve_extprograms sieve_trace_debug = no sieve_trace_dir = /var/log/dovecot-sieve sieve_trace_level = matching } [1] https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/sieve/configuration/#trace-deb… -- Regards/Mit freundlichen Grüßen Christian Weiske -=≡ Geeking around in the name of science since 1982 ≡=-

quotas and Trash
by David Koski 22 Apr '23

22 Apr '23

Hello, I am testing quotas with the following configuration: plugin { quota_rule = *:storage=1M quota_rule2 = INBOX.Trash:storage=+100M quota_grace = 10%% } The 1M limit works perfectly but I had to prefix Trash with "INBOX." to get it to stop complaining about an unknown namespace. But now the quota_rule2 is ignored. Once the mailbox reaches 1M, even if it is all in INBOX.Trash, it will fail to deliver due to quota limit. Dovecot: 2.3.13+dfsg1-2+deb11u1:amd64 Debian 11 auth_mechanisms = plain login disable_plaintext_auth = no mail_plugins = quota mail_privileged_group = mail namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { auto = subscribe special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { auto = subscribe special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { auto = subscribe special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { auto = subscribe special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { auto = subscribe special_use = \Trash } prefix = INBOX. separator = . } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } plugin { mail_plugins = quota quota quota = maildir:User quota quota_grace = 10%% quota_rule = *:storage=1M quota_rule2 = INBOX.Trash:storage=+100M } protocols = " imap pop3" service anvil { unix_listener anvil-auth-penalty { group = vmail mode = 0660 user = vmail } } service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0666 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-client { mode = 0660 } } service imap-login { inet_listener imap { address = 172.16.0.1 } } service pop3-login { inet_listener pop3 { address = 172.16.0.1 } } service stats { unix_listener stats-reader { group = vmail mode = 0660 user = vmail } unix_listener stats-writer { group = vmail mode = 0660 user = vmail } } ssl = no ssl_client_ca_dir = /etc/ssl/certs ssl_dh = # hidden, use -P to show it userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = quota quota postmaster_address = dkoski(a)sutinen.com } protocol lda { mail_plugins = quota quota } protocol imap { mail_max_userip_connections = 14 mail_plugins = quota quota imap_quota } protocol pop3 { mail_plugins = quota quota } Regards, David Koski dkoski(a)sutinen.com

Message searching in Dovecot
by John Gateley 21 Apr '23

21 Apr '23

Hello, For mobile clients (gmail on Android), I need a server side searching solution. A few months ago, I tried getting Solr to work with Dovecot, but failed. The instructions here https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/fts/solr/ are quite out of date, they reference Debian 8 and 9 (current version 11), and Solr 7.7 (current version 9.2) My Solr experience is pretty much zero. Questions/Requests: * Is there a different tool than Solr I should be using for this? * Does anyone have a recent version of Solr and Debian working? * If you do, would you be willing to help me? * I cannot afford much, this is a home mailserver for my wife and I, but I could pay a small consulting fee. I use ansible to deploy the server, I'd be willing to contribute the playbooks somewhere for documentation, or help with the docs. Thanks! John
