Problem migrating POP accounts into dovecot
by Jesús Ángel del Pozo Domínguez 09 Aug '21

Hello, I am trying to migrate mailboxes from an old pop/imap server to a new one using Dovecot 2.3.15. The old server uses tpop3d and courier as POP and IMAP servers, respectively. Whereas I can migrate IMAP mailboxes without many problems, I am facing difficulties while trying to do the same with POP ones. The problem is that dsync opens simultaneous connections to the remote POP server, so the remote mailbox gets locked and dsync can not copy the messages. This is the command I am using to migrate POP mailboxes: # doveadm -Dv -c dovecot-migration.conf -o pop3c_password="*******" backup -R -u test2(a)testemail.domain.com pop3c: And these are some interesting lines from the output of the above command: Aug 04 14:54:14 dsync(test2(a)testemail.domain.com): Debug: pop3c(10.0.0.104): Looking up IP address Aug 04 14:54:14 dsync(test2(a)testemail.domain.com): Debug: pop3c(10.0.0.104): Connecting to 10.0.0.104:110 Aug 04 14:54:14 dsync(test2(a)testemail.domain.com): Debug: pop3c(10.0.0.104): Authenticating as 'test2(a)testemail.domain.com' (with USER+PASS) Aug 04 14:54:14 dsync(test2(a)testemail.domain.com): Debug: Mailbox INBOX: Adding field pop3.uidl to cache for the first time (uid=1) Aug 04 14:54:14 dsync(test2(a)testemail.domain.com): Debug: Mailbox INBOX: UID 1: Opened mail because: virtual size (Cache file is unusable) Aug 04 14:54:14 dsync(test2(a)testemail.domain.com): Debug: quota: quota_over_flag check: STORAGE ret=3value=3 limit=104857600 Aug 04 14:54:14 dsync(test2(a)testemail.domain.com): Debug: quota: quota_over_flag check: MESSAGE ret=4value=1 limit=0 Aug 04 14:54:14 dsync(test2(a)testemail.domain.com): Debug: quota: quota_over_flag=0((null)) vs currently overquota=0 Aug 04 14:54:14 dsync(test2(a)testemail.domain.com): Debug: brain M: Locking done locally in /var/mail/testemail.domain.com/test2/.dovecot-sync.lock (local hostname=tremedal.domain.com, remote hostname=tremedal.domain.com) Aug 04 14:54:14 dsync(test2(a)testemail.domain.com): Debug: brain S: Namespace has location pop3c: Aug 04 14:54:14 dsync(test2(a)testemail.domain.com): Debug: pop3c(10.0.0.104): Looking up IP address Aug 04 14:54:14 dsync(test2(a)testemail.domain.com): Debug: pop3c(10.0.0.104): Connecting to 10.0.0.104:110 Aug 04 14:54:14 dsync(test2(a)testemail.domain.com): Debug: pop3c(10.0.0.104): Authenticating as 'test2(a)testemail.domain.com' (with USER+PASS) Aug 04 14:54:14 dsync(test2(a)testemail.domain.com): Debug: Mailbox INBOX: Adding field pop3.uidl to cache for the first time (uid=1) Aug 04 14:54:14 dsync(test2(a)testemail.domain.com): Debug: brain S: Local mailbox tree: INBOX guid=c92f64f79f0d1ed01e6d5b314f04886c uid_validity=1628081654 uid_next=2 subs=no last_change=0 last_subs=0 Aug 04 14:54:14 dsync(test2(a)testemail.domain.com): Debug: brain M: Remote mailbox tree: INBOX guid=c92f64f79f0d1ed01e6d5b314f04886c uid_validity=1628081654 uid_next=2 subs=no last_change=0 last_subs=0 Aug 04 14:54:14 dsync(test2(a)testemail.domain.com): Debug: brain M: Mailbox INBOX: local=00000000000000000000000000000000/0/0, remote=c92f64f79f0d1ed01e6d5b314f04886c/0/1: mailbox not selectable yet Aug 04 14:54:14 dsync(test2(a)testemail.domain.com): Debug: Namespace : /var/mail/testemail.domain.com/test2/Mailbox/inbox doesn't exist yet, using default permissions Aug 04 14:54:14 dsync(test2(a)testemail.domain.com): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions from /var/mail/testemail.domain.com/test2/Mailbox: mode=0700 gid=default Aug 04 14:54:14 dsync(test2(a)testemail.domain.com): Debug: Namespace : /var/mail/testemail.domain.com/test2/Mailbox/inbox doesn't exist yet, using default permissions Aug 04 14:54:14 dsync(test2(a)testemail.domain.com): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions from /var/mail/testemail.domain.com/test2/Mailbox: mode=0700 gid=default Aug 04 14:54:14 dsync(test2(a)testemail.domain.com): Debug: brain S: Mailbox INBOX: local=c92f64f79f0d1ed01e6d5b314f04886c/0/1, remote=00000000000000000000000000000000/0/0: mailbox not selectable yet Aug 04 14:54:14 dsync(test2(a)testemail.domain.com): Debug: pop3c(10.0.0.104): Looking up IP address Aug 04 14:54:14 dsync(test2(a)testemail.domain.com): Debug: pop3c(10.0.0.104): Connecting to 10.0.0.104:110 Aug 04 14:54:14 dsync(test2(a)testemail.domain.com): Debug: pop3c(10.0.0.104): Authenticating as 'test2(a)testemail.domain.com' (with USER+PASS) Aug 04 14:54:14 dsync(test2(a)testemail.domain.com): Debug: Mailbox INBOX: Adding field pop3.uidl to cache for the first time (uid=1) Aug 04 14:54:14 dsync(test2(a)testemail.domain.com): Debug: doveadm-sieve: Iterating Sieve mailbox attributes Aug 04 14:54:14 dsync(test2(a)testemail.domain.com): Debug: sieve: Pigeonhole version 0.5.15 (e6a84e31) initializing Aug 04 14:54:14 dsync(test2(a)testemail.domain.com): Debug: sieve: include: sieve_global is not set; it is currently not possible to include `:global' scripts.

Then, the same sequence is repeated again (second connection from dsync). However, on opening the third connection, it is not closed before the fourth one is opened. On authenticating a user, the tpop3d server locks the mailbox to prevent other clients wirting to it. That is why the fourth connection fails as it can not get a lock for the mailbox: Aug 4 14:54:22 lmail1 tpop3d[2274]: mailspool_new_from_file: failed to lock /var/spool/mail/testemail.domain.com/test2: Resource temporarily unavailable Aug 4 14:54:22 lmail1 tpop3d[2274]: dotfile_unlock(/var/spool/mail/testemail.domain.com/test2): lockfile does not have our PID Could you please tell me how can I avoid this problem? I wonder why dsync opens so many connections to the remote server, and why it does not close the previous connections before opening new ones. Regards,

dsync and sieve script
by Andrea Gabellini 09 Aug '21

09 Aug '21

Hello, I'm testing the migration from and old dovecot server 2.2.24 to a new one with 2.3.15 using this command: doveadm -c /etc/dovecot/dovecot-migration.conf -o mail_fsync=never backup -x "shared" -x "shared/*" -x "dovecot/sieve" -R -T 60 -u andrea.gabellini.sc(a)telecomitalia.sm imapc: This command replicate email messages but not the sieve scripts. The esclusion of "dovecot/sieve" is mandatory because the old server is misconfigured and doesn't have a separate home and maildir location. Is dsync able to replicate the sieve scripts or I'm doing something wrong?

Block insecure connections
by Andrea Gabellini 09 Aug '21

09 Aug '21

Hello, I am writing for advice on how to deal with a problem. I have a Dovecot Proxy/Director -> Backend installation, all with version 2.3 Encryption on POP3 / IMAP connections is currently optional. I would like to set it as mandatory but despite the numerous reminders many users have not taken steps to adapt. Setting it as mandatory would mean having too many calls to support. I would therefore like to block the connection to only some of them and slowly reach my target. I can't find how and where to fit in to be able to do such a thing. At first I thought about postlogin, but the user ended up on a proxy and I can't use it. I tried to use the forwarding function on the proxy and postlogin on the backend, but I didn't succeed in the first part. In pseudo code, I would like to do this: if connection is not secured { if user is in my list { block the connection; } } Thanks in advance for any suggestions, Andrea -- __________________________ People says "more memory increases the computerspeed" and they are right: More memory Windows detects, the sooner it crashes. __________________________ TIM San Marino S.p.A.

Dovecot GSSAPI Authentication problem
by Lucas Castro 06 Aug '21

06 Aug '21

Hello, I'm getting problem to setup dovecot imap/pop service authentication through Kerberos. Already read https://wiki.dovecot.org/Authentication/Kerberos. My guess is kerberos is working but something goes wrong after.

Pigeonhole v0.5.16 released
by Timo Sirainen 06 Aug '21

06 Aug '21

Hi, Pigeonhole release for Dovecot v2.3.16. https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3-pigeonhole-0.5.16.t… <https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3-pigeonhole-0.5.16.t…> https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3-pigeonhole-0.5.16.t… <https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3-pigeonhole-0.5.16.t…> Binary packages in https://repo.dovecot.org/ <https://repo.dovecot.org/> Docker images in https://hub.docker.com/r/dovecot/dovecot <https://hub.docker.com/r/dovecot/dovecot> * .dovecot.sieve.log file now includes year in the header. * Change Sieve script result execution to delay definitive action execution to the end of a successful Sieve script execution session. This is part of an effort to solve problems with the Sieve duplicate test. As a side-effect, some rare temporary-error cases yield different results, in which partial failure is more likely.

Dovecot Debian repo instructions need updating
by Laura Smith 05 Aug '21

05 Aug '21

Re: https://doc.dovecot.org/installation_guide/dovecot_community_repositories/d… The instructions need updating for two reasons: 1) Keep up to date with Debian releases (https://wiki.debian.org/DebianReleases) i.e. remove reference to 8.0 "Jessie" and replace with 10.0 "Buster". 2) The instructions presented for key handling are not inline with Debian best-practices. As per https://wiki.debian.org/DebianRepository/UseThirdParty: "The key MUST be downloaded over a secure mechanism like HTTPS to a location only writable by root, which SHOULD be /usr/share/keyrings. The key MUST NOT be placed in /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d or loaded by apt-key add. A sources.list entry SHOULD have the signed-by option set. The signed-by entry MUST point to a file, and not a fingerprint."

There isn't much documentation on quota_grace. How would you disable quota grace? quota_grace = 0 quota_grace = 0% quota_grace = 0m quota_grace = -1 Assuming "0" isn't an "unlimited" setting?
