Questions about fts_flatcurve in Dovecot 2.4
by Andrea Gabellini 10 Mar '25

10 Mar '25

Hi, I'm testing the fts_flatcurve plugin on Dovecot 2.4. This is my first time using an FTS plugin, and I have a few questions. Below is the configuration I am referring to. - Does the language_filters setting apply by default when a language xx {} section is defined? - If so, within a language section where a filter is declared, should I set filter_name = no to remove it? - The documentation includes this warning: "Using stopwords with multiple languages configured WILL cause some searches to fail. The recommended solution is to NOT use the stopword filter when multiple languages are present in the configuration." Does this mean it's best to avoid the stopwords filter entirely, or can it still be used for at least one language? - Does the attached configuration make sense? :-) language_filters { lowercase = yes normalizer-icu = yes snowball = yes } language it { default = yes filters { lowercase = yes normalizer-icu = yes snowball = yes stopwords = yes } } language en { } language de { } language es { } language fr { filters { lowercase = yes normalizer-icu = yes snowball = yes contractions = yes } } Thanks in advance for your support!

I tried to make a pull request for my changes but got stalled on figuring out how to reference my repository in the github GUI. Do I need to download their custom CLI tools to do it?

Re: Some folders are not displayed correctly via IMAP protocol
by Lafiel 07 Mar '25

07 Mar '25

Hi, Michael Slusarz. The client developers claim that in practice this approach leads to various problems for users. In one case, the square lines may be treated as a syntax element, and in others as part of the folder name. Predicting what is what is extremely difficult. How can i modify source code in my mail server to force the use of quotes?

Issue with mail-crypt plugin on Debian Bookworm and Dovecot 2.4
by Andrea Gabellini 05 Mar '25

05 Mar '25

Hi everyone, I'm trying to use the mail-crypt plugin on Debian Bookworm with Dovecot 2.4. This is my first time using it, so please forgive any basic questions... I've added the following configuration: mail_plugins { mail_crypt = yes } crypt_global_public_key_file = /etc/dovecot/xxx_pub.pem crypt_global_private_key main { crypt_private_key_file = /etc/dovecot/xxx_priv.pem } log_debug = category=debug However, as soon as I try to use it, I see the following log entry: Fatal: dcrypt_initialize(): Plugin 'dcrypt_openssl' not found from directory /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dovecot I've searched my file system and checked the available dovecot-* packages, but I couldn't find any trace of the missing library. Am I missing something, or is this library indeed absent from the official packages? Thanks in advance for your help! Best regards, Andrea -- TIM San Marino S.p.A.

2.4 crashing on macOS with time moving forward?
by John Muccigrosso 02 Mar '25

02 Mar '25

After last week's struggle with the new version and my conf file, I got everything working. Now however dovecot crashes on me every few hours. The logs show a bunch of this kind of warning, which I find mention of on the internets: > Feb 07 15:13:47 imap(58317): Warning: Time moved forward 48.803640 seconds > Feb 07 16:30:27 master: Warning: Time moved forward by 694.039203 seconds - adjusting timeouts. > Feb 07 16:52:47 imap(61246): Warning: Time moved forward 293.443011 seconds > Feb 07 16:52:47 master: Warning: Time moved forward by 1279.423507 seconds - adjusting timeouts. > Feb 07 17:25:39 imap(61286): Warning: Time moved forward 1942.575589 seconds > Feb 07 17:25:39 imap(61288): Warning: Time moved forward 172.563346 seconds > Feb 07 17:25:39 master: Warning: Time moved forward by 1912.666999 seconds - adjusting timeouts. > Feb 07 17:49:32 imap(61286): Warning: Time moved forward 1402.761862 seconds > Feb 07 17:51:13 master: Warning: Time moved forward by 1473.582569 seconds - adjusting timeouts. > Feb 07 17:51:13 imap(61286): Warning: Time moved forward 70.823888 seconds > Feb 07 17:53:07 master: Warning: Time moved forward by 53.843767 seconds - adjusting timeouts. > Feb 07 18:44:22 imap(61286): Warning: Time moved forward 1386.259444 seconds > Feb 07 19:11:41 master: Warning: Time moved forward by 615.609964 seconds - adjusting timeouts. Note the very large jump dovecot claims is happening in all of these, up to half an hour, with a minimum of 48 seconds in this bunch. You can see that it even does a pair of these in rapid succession, like at 17:25:39 above, and will do >10 within the space of an hour. These seem eventually to be followed by a crash ("eventually" because I'm running this on my laptop which isn't always open and running). The crash log entries all start with something like this: > Feb 07 16:17:53 imap(58315): Panic: file ./time-util.h: line 40 (timeval_add_usecs): assertion failed: (usecs >= 0) The reports will end with one of these: > Feb 06 17:45:07 log(48089): Warning: Killed with signal 15 (by pid=1 uid=0 code=unknown 0) > Feb 07 16:17:53 imap(58317): Fatal: master: service(imap): child 58317 killed with signal 6 (core dumps disabled - https://dovecot.org/bugreport.html#coredumps) One more detail, I usually do `sudo brew services start dovecot` to run dovecot and this results in the crashes. When I was testing this on Saturday, I started it with `sudo dovecot -F` instead, so that I would see problems in the terminal. It went all day without crashing and I finally stopped and restarted it with the brew method. That's not a rigorous test, but it is suggestive. Happy to provide more info, but I'm hoping this is sufficient to suggest a course of action. dovecot 2.4.0 installed via homebrew macOS 13.6.9 J

Pigeonhole: sieve_redirect_envelope_from orig_recipient results in mail bombs
by doobry 28 Feb '25

28 Feb '25

Dear Dovecot community, we changed `sieve_redirect_envelope_from` to `orig_recipient` recently to fix sieve redirects in case the forwarded mail comes from a DMARC-enabled domain. While this works well, it creates a new problem: if the receiving mail server (the one in charge of the redirect destination) reacts with a bounce mail, the bounce now will go to `orig_recipient` - the mail address that has the redirect in place, which means no less than creating a mail bomb (endless mail loop). See the following example: 1. alice(a)sender.org sends mail to jane(a)our-domain.org 2. jane(a)our-domain.org has a sieve redirect to jane(a)redirect-target.org 3. jane(a)redirect-target.org replies with a bounce because their mailbox is full. 4. The bounce mail gets sent to jane(a)our-domain.org. 5. The loop starts again at step 2. Is it possible to configure dovecot/pigeonhole to *not* forward the bounce mails from step 4 again? Probably it would work to add manual extra checks to the sieve redirect rules, but that would need to be followed by any user who configures a redirect. So I'm more looking for a server-wide configuration change that fixes this problem. Looking forward to hear about your thoughts on the problem. Kind regards doobry
