dovecot-uidlist....
by Chi Min Wang 27 Feb '20

27 Feb '20

Hello Everyone: Is it possible to direct dovecot to modify dovecot-uidlist automatically?? I have some user who use ancient MUA(i.e. Openwebmail) and IMAP/POP3. Since Openwebmail will insert "Status: R" in the eml file,the size of the eml file will increase by 10 bytes. If the user use Openwebmail first,then the size record(S=xxxx) in dovecot-uidlist will be fine. But if he use POP3/IMAP(dovecot) first then use Openwebmail,the size record in dovecot-uidlist will not match the actual size modified by Openwebmail. This will cause dovecot killed by core dump. I'm wondering if there are any method to avoid this situation,Thanks!! *********************************************** CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE:This e-mail and any attachments are confidential and may be legally privileged.

Matching regexps
by Adam Shostack 26 Feb '20

26 Feb '20

Hi, I'm having some trouble with matching. The regexp in my dovecot.sieve file should match on email addresses, but does not. # The code: if header :matches "From" "<[a-z0-9-]*(a)[a-z0-9-.]*>" { set "sender" "${1}"; } if not execute "grepfrom" ["${sender}"] { if envelope :matches "from" "*" { set "sender" "${1}"; } This failes to match Tamara Denning <tdenning(a)cs.utah.edu> when I check that regexp against that string at regex101.com, it shows a match, but the log (from sieve-test) shows: 348: header test 348: starting `:matches' match with `i;ascii-casemap' comparator: 348: extracting `From' headers from message 348: matching value `Tamara Denning <tdenning(a)cs.utah.edu>' 348: with key `.*<[a-z0-9-]*(a)[a-z0-9-.]*>' => 0 348: finishing match with result: not matched I would appreciate advice on why the match is failing, or what I can change to make it match. Thank you! Adam

Help needed with managesieve
by Laura Smith 22 Feb '20

22 Feb '20

Hi, I'm really struggling with the following inbound filtering: Let's say:• My email address is "my.email(a)example.com" • I've setup a filtered address "filtered.email(a)example.com" • I've setup a sending/reply address "send.email(a)example.com" I am sending a message to a small group of people where detailed tracking is required (yes, I know there are better automated ways outside of Dovecot to do this... but let's leave that topic for another day shall we !) My desired action is as follows : • Message "From" shows "send.email(a)example.com" • Message "To" is set as "filtered.email(a)example.com" • General recipients in Bcc When I send a test to an *external* address, it works as expected, i.e. : • External address receives mail in its inbox • Copy of mail gets put in relevant IMAP folder for "filtered.email(a)example.com" When I send a test to my own address, it does not work, the following happens instead: • Copy of mail gets put in relevant IMAP folder for "filtered.email(a)example.com" (this is good and as expected) • The BCC "my.email(a)example.com" never gets deposited in my inbox (this is not good) My dovecot sieve (as applied to "my.email(a)example.com") is as follows (I have tried both with and without the "stop" as you can see from the comment: anyof (address :is :all "to" ["send.email(a)example.com"], header :contains ["Cc", "Delivered-To"] ["send.email(a)example.com"]) { fileinto :create "XYZmail-replies"; # Ignore stop for this rule only # stop; } elsif anyof (address :is :all "to" ["filtered.email(a)example.com"], header :contains ["Cc", "Delivered-To"] ["filtered.email(a)example.com"]) { fileinto :create "XYZmail-sent"; # Ignore stop for this rule only # stop; }

Strategy for fts and Replication
by Francis Augusto Medeiros-Logeay 22 Feb '20

22 Feb '20

Hi there, I got successfully to replicate my mail server to another dovecot install using dsync, mainly for redundancy, and it works great. I want to try to install fts, as some of the mailboxes have tens of thousands of messages, and it takes minutes to get some results when searching via IMAP on a Roundcube interface. I want to experiment with fts-solr first, and firstly on my redundant server, ie., not on my main dovecot install. Is it ok to do this? I ask because I am afraid of how this whole reindexing on the redundant install will affect the production server. Also, any tips on something else than fts-solr? I tried it once, but it was so hard to get it right, so many configurations, java, etc., that I'd rather try something else. I also could try fts-elastic or something like that, but, again, having to maintain an elasticsearch install might use more resources than I think is worth. Any thoughts on that? Best, -- Francis

My sieve is failing
by ＠lbutlr 21 Feb '20

21 Feb '20

I have an active sieve file for my list account that alters the headers for this list (sets the reply-to address to the list instead of the poster) which is suddenly failing. require [ "regex", "variables", "fileinto", "envelope", "mailbox", "imap4flags", "editheader" ]; /* other stuff */ elsif header :contains "List-id" "dovecot.dovecot.org" { if header :matches "Reply-to" "*" { deleteheader "From"; addheader "From" "${1}"; deleteheader "Reply-To"; addheader "Reply-To" "dovecot(a)dovecot.org"; addheader "X-Covisp-Reply-To" "True"; } fileinto :create "dovecot"; stop;} And the trace file: 55: header test 55: starting `:contains' match with `i;ascii-casemap' comparator: 55: extracting `List-id' headers from message 55: matching value `Dovecot Mailing List <dovecot.dovecot.org>' 55: with key `dovecot.dovecot.org' => 1 55: finishing match with result: matched 55: jump if result is false 55: not jumping 56: header test 56: starting `:matches' match with `i;ascii-casemap' comparator: 56: extracting `Reply-to' headers from message 56: finishing match with result: not matched 56: jump if result is false 56: jumping to line 63 63: fileinto action 63: store message in mailbox `dovecot' 64: stop command; end all script execution ## Finished executing script '.active_sieve’ Neither the reply-to header nor the x- header are actually getting added, but the block is getting executed and the mail is filed in the right folder. In dovecot.conf I (still) have: managesieve_sieve_capability = editheader fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date ihave

Test failure on ARM: backtrace_append
by Julien Lepiller 21 Feb '20

21 Feb '20

Hi, I am a packager in Guix and user of dovecot on an ARM server (armhf). The Guix package fails to build because of a test error (see the last lines of the full build log: https://ci.guix.gnu.org/log/f5if2qb5rsqag3a6jy5vga1l9hm9pkj0-dovecot-2.3.9.3) As the name suggests, this is dovecot 2.3.9.3, the latest version. Previous versions built fine, as well as the same version on x86 and x86_64. Note that the build on guix's build farm was done in a qemu vm, but I got the same test failure on real hardware. I'm not sure what the best course of action is. Did I find a legitimate bug, or should I simply ignore that test for that architecture? Dovecot itself seems to be running fine when I ignore the tests. Thanks for any guidance you could provide!

How does dovecot determine users from /etc/passwd?
by Philip Colmer 20 Feb '20

20 Feb '20

We're using dovecot on a help desk ticketing system. The system doesn't perform any cleanup of IMAP mailboxes so we have a regular cronjob doing this: /usr/bin/doveadm flags add -A '\Deleted' SEEN SENTBEFORE 12w && /usr/bin/doveadm expunge -A DELETED MAILBOX '*' Recently, doveadm has been reporting this: doveadm(nobody): Error: User initialization failed: Namespace '': mkdir(/nonexistent/mail) failed: Permission denied (euid=65534(nobody) egid=65534(nogroup)) doveadm(nobody): Error: User init failed doveadm(DEFAULT-CW-USER): Info: User no longer exists, skipping Indeed, using doveadm user "*" does include "nobody" in the list but I can't understand why. The mail group in /etc/group does not include "nobody" and there are users in /etc/passwd with similar attributes to "nobody" that do not appear in the list of users from doveadm. What can I do to tell doveadm to forget about "nobody"? Thanks. Philip

BUG: dsync and folder names with "@"
by spamvoll＠googlemail.com 20 Feb '20

20 Feb '20

Hello, dovecot version: 2.3.9.2 When I use dsync: /usr/bin/dsync -v -D -o plugin/quota= -f -u my(a)email.dom backup maildir:/tmp/mailbackup/Maildir it always stops when it comes to a folder with an "@" in its name. Error Message: Warning: Mailbox changes caused a desync. You may want to run dsync again: Remote lost mailbox GUID (maybe it was just deleted?) I dont know if it makes a difference, but my dovecot uses mdbox and the backup export is maildir. Hans
