Problem with envelope from in Pigeonhole after upgrade
by David Dodd 17 Sep '18

17 Sep '18

On our FreeBSD 11.2 servers, we recently upgraded from: dovecot2-2.2.26.0_1 dovecot-pigeonhole-0.4.16_1 to: dovecot-2.3.2.1 dovecot-pigeonhole-0.5.2_3 Prior to the upgrade the envelope sender was as expected. After the upgrade, the envelope sender for a user with a sieve script configured is now being set to: >From MAILER-DAEMON Tue Sep 04 13:31:39 2018 The same user without a sieve script in place gets: >From someone(a)gmail.com Tue Sep 04 11:06:04 2018 This happens when manually testing by directly executing: /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -d dgdtst -f someone(a)gmail.com It happens with an empty sieve script i.e. just using the implicit keep functionality. I have groped around looking for a configuration setting that might fix the behaviour but nothing I have tried helps. Can anyone suggest what to set to correct the problem ? -- Dave

Quotas not working with roundcube

Hello, I'm trying to have quotas working with roundcube. When I'm logged into roundcube I see 0% quota which seems to correspond to disabled. However I did everything that I could to enable quotas https://wiki.dovecot.org/Quota # doveconf -n auth_mechanisms = cram-md5 loginauth_verbose = yes debug_log_path = /tmp/dovecot.log first_valid_uid = 1000 log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log mail_gid = vmail mail_location = maildir:/home/mail/%d/%n/Maildir mail_plugins = notify replication quota mail_uid = vmail mbox_write_locks = fcntl mmap_disable = yes namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = } passdb { driver = bsdauth } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot.passwd driver = passwd-file } plugin { quota_grace = 10%% quota_rule = *:storage=2G quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+200M quota_rule3 = SPAM:ignore quota_status_nouser = DUNNO quota_status_overquota = 552 5.2.2 Mailbox is full quota_status_success = DUNNO quota_warning = storage=95%% quota-warning 95 %u quota_warning2 = storage=80%% quota-warning 80 %u } ssl_ca = /etc/ssl/certs/CA_Intermed_Lets_Encrypt.crt ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/imap.mydomain.org.crt ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it ssl_key_password = # hidden, use -P to show it userdb { driver = passwd } userdb { driver = static } protocol lda { mail_plugins = notify replication quota } protocol imap { mail_plugins = notify replication quota imap_quota }

Dsync deleting mailboxes due to duplicate UIDs
by Andreas Thienemann 16 Sep '18

16 Sep '18

Hi, I am attempting to migrate a mailspool from a cyrus server to a dovecot server using the dsync backup approach as described in the wiki at <https://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration/Dsync>. The first attempt works great. Everything copies over and a quick glance over the spool looks good. Running doveadm backup again though results in the following error: dsync(eggs): Warning: Deleting mailbox 'INBOX.MailRestore': UID=39 already exists locally for a different mail: Headers hashes don't match (18d567fc7e258a67e47b629c8bb16500 vs 230354b2d5cad21ebbb4a7440b977adb) As promised, the folder MailRestore is gone after dsync finishes. Running doveadm backup again for the third time copies the folder again. Running it a fourth time gives the same error and the folder is gone. Trying to figure this out I initially had a few mails where the header hashes were 68b329da9893e34099c7d8ad5cb9c940, the md5sum of an empty string. Turns out that the source mailspool had a few broken emails and cleaning these out fixed most my issues. But in this case, I am stumped. UID 39 on the server is a valid mail with correct headers and everything. Is there a good way of identifying the two mails that seem to clash? I had a quick look at the dovecot code but did not see how the header_stream gets hashed into the hdr_hash used for comparing mails. Thanks, Andreas

auth_policy in a non-authenticating proxy chain
by Peter Mogensen 15 Sep '18

15 Sep '18

Hi, I was looking into the new Authentication Policy feature: https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/Policy I had kinda hoped that I would be able to enfore this in a proxy running in front of several backends. This proxy does not authenticate. It use "nopassword". But I realize that the "succes" reported in the final authpolicy req. (command=report) is not what is actaully happening on the IMAP protocol level, but rather the result of the passdb chain in the proxy. (I should probably have predicted this, it's kinda reasonable). However... since the proxy use "nopassword", ALL passdb lookups result in "success", so the proxy will never report an authentication failure to the authpolicy server. This, of course, forces me to do the authpolicy check on the backend with a shared state, but It would still have been nice to have the proxy being able to do the first "command=allow" req. and reject attemps already there even though the backend does "command=report". /Peter

by ChandranManikandan 15 Sep '18

15 Sep '18

Hi Friends, Am facing the serious issue in outlook 2016. When i tried to configure the email in outlook 2016 it's asking encrypted connection and checked automatically and if not available then it showing unencrypted. but finally unable to configure the email account in outlook 2016 and not permitted. Do i need to update any in the server. Am using COS 6 32 and 64 bit servers with qmailtoaster + dovecot 2.2.7. Currently configured in outlook 2010 it's working without any issue. And always showing in outlook 2010 when i open the account. Do you want to continue yes or no for the certification. Because i have configured in advanced selected Auto in outlook 2010. If i select none it was not working the email. Anyone facing the same issue. How do i rectify it in outlook 2016 and how can i stop the certificate warning message in outlook. If possible to use without encryption and what's the configuration. Please advice and let me know the process. Am seriously cannot access the email from outlook. I have attached the message while open outlook. If i click yes then it will open Is the certificate expired. How do renew it or reload it with the fresh certificate. -- *Thanks & Best Regards,Manikandan.C*

Occasional crash in db-auth.c (Valgrind: Invalid read of size 4 et al.), Dovecot 2.2.27+
by Jonas Wielicki 14 Sep '18

14 Sep '18

Dear list, We are encountering troubles with dovecot using LDAP userdbs on Debian stretch (but if I’m reading valgrind correctly, we can reproduce this with vanilla dovecot master). Minimal reproducer below. While testing an upgrade to Debian stretch (dovecot-core=1:2.2.27-3+deb9u1), auth-worker has stopped working. We are using two LDAP user databases; one which is iterable, and one which is not (for reasons; I think this is not relevant; if it is, we’re happy to elaborate). The issue seems to be present in any LDAP userdb iteration handling, but it only seems to cause a crash in certain conditions which seem to be reproducibly caused by our setup for some reason. We’re seeing one of two errors. Variant A: Jan 27 13:40:05 up2 dovecot: auth-worker: Error: *** Error in `dovecot/auth': free(): corrupted unsorted chunks: 0x000056553f0fcfa0 *** Jan 27 13:40:05 up2 dovecot: auth-worker: Error: ======= Backtrace: ========= Jan 27 13:40:05 up2 dovecot: auth-worker: Error: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ libc.so.6(+0x70bcb)[0x7f78426adbcb] Jan 27 13:40:05 up2 dovecot: auth-worker: Error: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ libc.so.6(+0x76f96)[0x7f78426b3f96] Jan 27 13:40:05 up2 dovecot: auth-worker: Error: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ libc.so.6(+0x777de)[0x7f78426b47de] Jan 27 13:40:05 up2 dovecot: auth-worker: Error: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/ auth/libauthdb_ldap.so(+0x5bde)[0x7f7842008bde] Jan 27 13:40:05 up2 dovecot: auth-worker: Error: /usr/lib/dovecot/ libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_call_io+0x52)[0x7f78430cfdd2] Jan 27 13:40:05 up2 dovecot: auth-worker: Error: /usr/lib/dovecot/ libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run_internal+0x109)[0x7f78430d1409] Jan 27 13:40:05 up2 dovecot: auth-worker: Error: /usr/lib/dovecot/ libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0x3c)[0x7f78430cfe6c] Jan 27 13:40:05 up2 dovecot: auth-worker: Error: /usr/lib/dovecot/ libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x38)[0x7f78430d0018] Jan 27 13:40:05 up2 dovecot: auth-worker: Error: /usr/lib/dovecot/ libdovecot.so.0(master_service_run+0x13)[0x7f7843057e93] Jan 27 13:40:05 up2 dovecot: auth-worker: Error: dovecot/auth(main+0x398) [0x56553da45f98] Jan 27 13:40:05 up2 dovecot: auth-worker: Error: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf1)[0x7f784265d2b1] Jan 27 13:40:05 up2 dovecot: auth-worker: Error: dovecot/auth(_start+0x2a) [0x56553da461aa] Variant B: Jan 27 13:06:56 up2 dovecot: auth-worker(27495): Panic: file db-ldap.c: line 840 (db_ldap_result_unref): assertion failed: (res->refcount > 0) Jan 27 13:06:56 up2 dovecot: auth-worker(27495): Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/ lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x95272) [0x7f027a4fc272] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/ libdovecot.so.0(+0x9536d) [0x7f027a4fc36d] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so. 0(i_fatal+0) [0x7f027a492951] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/auth/ libauthdb_ldap.so(+0x3868) [0x7f0279447868] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/auth/ libauthdb_ldap.so(+0x5d7c) [0x7f0279449d7c] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so. 0(io_loop_call_io+0x52) [0x7f027a510dd2] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so. 0(io_loop_handler_run_internal+0x109) [0x7f027a512409] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/ libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0x3c) [0x7f027a510e6c] -> /usr/lib/ dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x38) [0x7f027a511018] -> /usr/lib/ dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(master_service_run+0x13) [0x7f027a498e93] -> dovecot/ auth(main+0x398) [0x55b981cd2f98] -> /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so. 6(__libc_start_main+0xf1) [0x7f0279a9e2b1] -> dovecot/auth(_start+0x2a) [0x55b981cd31aa] When running auth-worker within valgrind, we get more information (valgrind extract from mail.log attached for two versions of dovecot). We have attached mail.log contents for the respective valgrind runs. This seems to affect at least 2.2.27 onwards. We can reproduce the crash with our production data 100% of the time. The valgrind error is present even with very minimal setups (see below). Unfortunately, I haven’t been able so far to create an LDAP database which produces the crash as reliable as our production database does (which we cannot share for obvious reasons). Minimal Reproducer of Valgrind error: - Install dovecot 2.2.27 from debian stretch, or compile from master. - Install valgrind - In conf.d/10-auth.conf, disable auth-system.conf.ext - In conf.d/10-auth.conf, enable auth-ldap.conf.ext - Set contents of dovecot-ldap.conf.ext to: hosts = localhost base = dc=nodomain - In conf.d/10-master.conf, in section "service auth-worker", set executable = /usr/bin/valgrind /usr/lib/dovecot/auth -w (path may differ on your system) - Install an LDAP server with a database for dc=nodomain; this is trivial to do with debian: Simply install slapd and systemctl start slapd. - Start dovecot - Run doveadm user '*' - You should find the error in the mail.log. I hope this is somehow useful to fix our crash issue. We’ll be happy to provide more information as needed. kind regards, Jonas

Status of SMTPUTF8?
by Noah Tilton 14 Sep '18

14 Sep '18

I was wondering whether there is a roadmap for adding SMTPUTF8 support to Dovecot? My delivery pattern is Postfix -> Dovecot LMTP and it is choking on utf8 messages. I might be able to volunteer some of my time as a developer. Another thread about this seemed to go unanswered: http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2016-September/105474.html http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/320091/configure-postfix-and-doveco… -Noah

LMTP tcp listener with auth?
by Andreas Thienemann 14 Sep '18

14 Sep '18

I am wondering if it's possible to have a tcp listener for LMTP do authentication and not accept any unauthenticated mail. My configuration looks like the following: service lmtp { inet_listener lmtp { address = 192.168.0.1 127.0.0.1 port = 24 } } This gives me a network reachable lmtp socket, but of course no autentication. When reading the docs, it seems though that only userdb lookup and no actual authentication is supported? Is that understanding correct? cheers, Andreas
