Hi,
I've just migrated our mail server from Debian 12 to 13. With this,
dovecot was upgraded to v2.4. I was previously aware of the new config
schema, but it seems the documentation wasn't enough to make the
transition that smooth. I'm encountering several issues where I'd need
some assistance:
I have issues with message sizes not fitting:
Jan 22 19:16:04 imap(user)<82612><thWtCP5I7OuGPXzg>: Error: Mailbox

failed: Cached message size larger than expected (229241 > 149967,

I have set maildir_broken_filename_sizes = yes in 10-mail.conf, which I
expected to prevent this, but is seemingly doesn't really. Do I have to
purge some cache? Also something similar happens when sending mail:

And while the logs don't seem to mention it, I guess that's also
interfering with receiving mails, as postfix confirms getting the mail
(though it complains about not being able to write to
/var/log/dovecot/error.log, but I also don't know why it would need that
so I'm currently not looking into it), but it dovecot never says it
received it and also no new file is created in /maildirs/user/Maildir/cur/.
I have issues with some plugins. I have in 20-imap.conf and 15-lda.conf
inside mail_plugins "zlib = yes", but no zlib-related module can be
found. Is there a different way to enable mail compression and
decompression or did Debian just miss to enable that at compilation?
I also have issues with the sieve plugin. I had it enabled in
15-lda.conf, 20-managesieve.conf, 20-imap.conf and 20-lmtp.conf. As I
understand I don't need all of them. At least if I do I get a weird
issue (Error: Couldn't load required plugin
/usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lib90_sieve_plugin.so: dlopen() failed:
/usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lib90_sieve_plugin.so: undefined symbol:
mail_deliver_ctx_get_log_var_expand_table). So where exactly do I enable
it? Also, I'd need help modifying something I put into 90-plugins.conf:
plugin {
    # From elsewhere to Junk folder
    imapsieve_mailbox1_name = Junk
    imapsieve_mailbox1_causes = COPY
    imapsieve_mailbox1_before =
file:/etc/dovecot/sieve/global/learn-spam.sieve
    # From Junk folder to elsewhere
    imapsieve_mailbox2_name = *
    imapsieve_mailbox2_from = Junk
    imapsieve_mailbox2_causes = COPY
    imapsieve_mailbox2_before =
file:/etc/dovecot/sieve/global/learn-ham.sieve
    sieve_pipe_bin_dir = /etc/dovecot/sieve/global
    sieve_global_extensions = +vnd.dovecot.pipe
+vnd.dovecot.environment
    sieve_plugins = sieve_imapsieve sieve_extprograms
    # Compression
    zlib_save_level = 4 # 1..9
    zlib_save = zstd or bz2, If this config entry missing,
compression is disabled.
}
but when I do it that way I get the error "doveconf: Fatal: Error in
configuration file /etc/dovecot/conf.d/90-plugin.conf line 9: Unknown
section name: plugin".
I do have this in 90-sieve.conf:
mailbox Spam {
# From elsewhere to Spam folder
 sieve_script report-spam {
  type = before
  cause = copy
  path = /etc/dovecot/sieve/global/learn-spam.sieve
 }
}
# From Spam folder to elsewhere
imapsieve_from Spam {
 sieve_script report-ham {
  type = before
  cause = copy
  path = /etc/dovecot/sieve/global/learn-ham.sieve
 }
}
(currently commented out), but I have no idea how exactly I fold the old
config into the new one. Most of the config is already migrated, but how
do I make sure that learn-spam-sieve is only running when something is
moved to Junk, while learn-ham.sieve is executed when something is being
moved from Junk, except when it's moved into Trash? And what exactly do
I do with the last 5 configs?
Sorry for the long message, but the new config scheme is a bit too
different for me to understand it right away.
