[Dovecot] Overriding inbox= in userdb extra fields
by Bret Martin 03 Aug '12

03 Aug '12

Hello, I'm trying to set up an alternate user with a different inbox using passwd-file and userdb extra fields and the extra field settings don't seem to be taking effect. I've used auth_debug and mail_debug and I'm unclear how I can further troubleshoot this. Is it possible to have inbox=yes in one namespace globally and then override this for one user by setting inbox=no for that namespace and then inbox=yes for another? My doveconf -n is below. I would like to have inbox=yes for the inbox namespace, inbox=no for the virtual namespace, and then be able to invert these for selected users using userdb extra fields. My attempt at doing this so far looks like bam-ios:[REDACTED]:500:500::/home/bam::user=bam namespace/inbox/inbox=no namespace/virtual/inbox=yes Changing the user with user= seems to work fine, but the inbox= changes don't. Here is some relevant log data.

[Dovecot] v2.1.9 released
by Timo Sirainen 03 Aug '12

03 Aug '12

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.1/dovecot-2.1.9.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.1/dovecot-2.1.9.tar.gz.sig I've again mostly finished reading and answering most of the mails in Dovecot mailing list. There are a couple annoyingly difficult / time consuming bugreport mails that I haven't replied to yet, but if anyone thinks I should have replied to something already feel free to resend the mail. For the new Redis/memcached dict stuff see http://master.wiki2.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/Dict and http://master.wiki2.dovecot.org/Quota/Dict I'm thinking about removing the new quota_ignore_save_errors=yes setting in v2.2 and just forcing it enabled always. Thoughts? (I didn't want to change v2.1 behavior by doing this.) The most important changes since v2.1.8: * mail-log plugin: Log mailbox names with UTF-8 everywhere (instead of mUTF-7 in some places and UTF-8 in other places) * director: Changed director_username_hash setting's default from %u to %Lu (= lowercase usernames). This doesn't break any existing installations, but might fix some of them. + doveadm: Added "auth cache flush [<username>]" command. + Implemented dict passdb/userdb + Implemented Redis and memcached dict backends, which can be used as auth backends. Redis can also be used as dict-quota backend. + Added plugin { quota_ignore_save_errors=yes } setting to allow saving a mail when quota lookup fails with temporary failure. - Full text search indexing might have failed for some messages, always causing indexer-worker process to run out of memory. - fts-lucene: Fixed handling SEARCH HEADER FROM/TO/SUBJECT/CC/BCC when the header wasn't lowercased. - fts-squat: Fixed crash when searching a virtual mailbox. - pop3: Fixed assert crash when doing UIDL on empty mailbox on some setups. - auth: GSSAPI RFC compliancy and error handling fixes. - Various fixes related to handling shared namespaces

[Dovecot] Antispam only when LMTP delivers some specific messages
by Sandro Tosi 03 Aug '12

03 Aug '12

Hello, we're setting up a weird platform where every incoming email is passed from the MTA directly to a tool that then uses dovecot LMTP to deliver the message into the user mailbox. We are legally *not* allowed to run antispam on all the incoming messages, but only on some of them, as they are recognized by the aforementioned tool; but given that tool directly uses LMTP to delivers the mail we need to find a way to parse the messages passing thru LMTP and run spamassassin only on those matching some regex on subject and mail body. Is is possible to do that with some dovecot LMTP feature? i've read a lot of documentation about how to possibly implement it and it *seems* there would be a way using pigeonhole sieve and extprograms - what do you think? The idea I have in mind is something like: 1. identify the mails we want to scan with spamassassin (using regex or whatever else to precisely pin-point them) 2. run SA on those 3. in case it's spam, rewrite the subject (or similar) Do you think it's something doable with dovecot?

[Dovecot] Problem with preserving MIME format with Dovecot IMAP and MS Outlook client
by Peter Grimmond 01 Aug '12

01 Aug '12

Hello all, Apologies for the repost, but I am really struggling to solve this problem... I have installed Dovecot 2.0.19 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I have set up a very basic IMAP configuration. I have two different laptops running MS Outlook (one MacOS, one Windows 7) and I have configured both to connect to the Dovecot service. My problem is, emails in MIME format that I synchronise from one MS Outlook client are not being correctly decoded as MIME messages on the other client. Instead, the message is rendered in plaintext, starting with the lines: This message is in MIME format. Since your mail reader does not understand this format, some or all of this message may not be legible. --B_3426360453_22814Content-type: multipart/alternative; boundary="B_3426360453_4099" --B_3426360453_4099Content-type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1"Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable Can anyone help me understand why this might be happening? The output from dovecot -n is: # 2.0.19: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.2.0-26-generic-pae i686 Ubuntu 12.04 LTS auth_debug = yes auth_verbose = yes disable_plaintext_auth = no mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir passdb { driver = pam } protocols = " imap" ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = passwd } Thanks!

[Dovecot] Erroneous operation not permitted when deleting mailbox with mdbox

I'm seeing the following error in our logs when removing mailboxes (we are using mdbox and dovecot 2.1.8): Aug 1 20:03:36 msgsrv dovecot: imap(test(a)test.com): Error: stat(/mailstore/domains/test.com/test/mdbox/mailboxes/Spam) failed: Operation not permitted Aug 1 20:03:36 msgsrv dovecot: imap(test(a)test.com): Mailbox deleted: Spam When I run truss against the process it appears the error relates to attempted unlink of a directory, not a stat of it, as reported by the log.

[Dovecot] BUG: LDAP extension failed to authenticate if 'base' DN configuration is empty ''
by Hendy Irawan 01 Aug '12

01 Aug '12

Dear Dovecot developers, We have several context entries and want to authenticate a user against the whole LDAP server. However when setting "base = " Dovecot LDAP fails with following message: Jul 29 10:50:59 nitik1 dovecot: auth: Error: ldap(hendy(a)staging.member.berbatik.com,127.0.0.1): ldap_search((virtualMail=hendy(a)staging.member.berbatik.com)) failed: Other (e.g., implementation specific) error This limits the search to only one base DN, e.g. base = dc=staging,dc=berbatik,dc=com The ldap client library is able to search entries using an empty base DN, so it should be possible for Dovecot LDAP to do the same. An even more elegant solution will be the ability to specify multiple base DNs, but if Dovecot can search the "root DN" (empty string) it would be great. Thank you.

[Dovecot] mdbox with separate index location results in many emptydirectories
by Jürgen Obermann 31 Jul '12

31 Jul '12

Hallo, I use dovecot 2.1.7 with mdbox format and I specified a separate location for mailbox index files with mail_location = mdbox:/dovecot/storage%h:INDEX=/dovecot/index%h With this setting I get for every mailbox a directory under both filesystems /dovecot/index and /dovecot/storage, e.g. for the inbox it looks like that: # ls -lR /dovecot/index/home/hrz/myuser/mailboxes/INBOX /dovecot/storage/home/hrz/myuser/mailboxes/INBOX /dovecot/index/home/hrz/myuser/mailboxes/INBOX: total 49 -rw------- 1 myuser hrz 20480 Jul 20 11:12 dovecot.index.cache -rw------- 1 myuser hrz 1280 Jul 20 08:00 dovecot.index.log -rw------- 1 myuser hrz 301 Jul 19 16:45 dovecot.index.search -rw------- 1 myuser hrz 20 Jul 19 16:45 dovecot.index.search.uids /dovecot/storage/home/hrz/myuser/mailboxes/INBOX: total 3 drwx------ 2 myuser hrz 2 Jul 19 15:20 dbox-Mails /dovecot/storage/home/hrz/myuser/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails: total 0 As expected the index files now reside under /dovecot/index%h/mailboxes/, but the path /dovecot/storage%h/mailboxes/ also contains for every user and every mailbox name a directory which in turn contains only an empty subdirectory 'dbox-Mails'. These directories seem to me to sum up to a lot of unneded infrstructure objects. I tried to delete these empty directories, but dovecot did not like that and stopped to work. So somehow they are necessary, in spite of setting a separate index file location. So my question is, could these empty directories be avoided, perhaps in a future version?

[Dovecot] Empty argument in "executable = script ..." service
by Florian Wagner 31 Jul '12

31 Jul '12

Hi, what is the point of adding an empty argument to the command called by the "executable = script ..." setting in a service? I guess that would be the call to array_append_space at line 57 in util/script.c. Background is that I'm trying to run bogofilter through the extprograms Pigeonhole plugin. So I've defined a service entry with a unix_listener and wondered why my test shell script works but bogofilter exits with a cryptic error. Turns out that this empty argument at the end trips up the bogofilter argument parsing code. If I manually call bogofilter with execv and add that empty argument I get the same cryptic error. Regards Florian

[Dovecot] Dovecot Director behaviour when two or more fail
by Dominic Malolepszy 31 Jul '12

31 Jul '12

Hi, On the Dovecot wiki here http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Director it says the following: "The directors are going to connect to each others in a ring. For example if you have servers called A, B and C, director will create connections A->B, B->C and C->A" I am curious what happens in a scenario when two or more directors fail and potentially break a ring in half, do the active directors detect this and reform a new ring?

[Dovecot] Help needed with configuration giving dict error No such file

The host is running GNU/Linux 3.2.0-0.bpo.2-amd64 and on a xfs filesystem. Entries in /etc/dovecot/users look like this: jax@XXX.com:{plain}password The output from 'doveconf -n' is in the attachment to this mail message. I'm a beginner without experience with either IMAP servers or clients. Can you give me pointers to see what I'm missing that causes the errors logged as above? The user data base looks like this: userdb { args = uid=5000 gid=5000 home=/var/vmail/%d/%n/home mail=maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%n driver = static } Being a beginner, I wonder if is necessary to manually make home directories for each '/var/vmail/%d/%n/home'? I've tried test accounts with and without empty "home" directories at the indicated locations without seeing any difference in the error indications. Is it necessary to manually populate the "home" directories? Besides having no clue about the errors logged, I don't understand what it takes to make quotas work nor do I understand what options are available or advisable. The distribution wiki/QuotaMaildir.txt seems clear that the Maildif+++ backend is indicated but beyond that I remain in the dark. FWIW, I've yet to try a real IMAP client. Thank you for any pointers you can give me.

[Dovecot] Problem with running two dovecot instances on the same server
by Alexandr Sabitov 31 Jul '12

31 Jul '12

Hello All, Have anyone met the problem I am struggling with at the moment ? The problem is when I run two instances of dovecot 2.1.8 which are one for proxy-director and another one is a regular one on the same server then I have big amount of strange entries in the /var/log/mail.err: Jul 26 11:51:20 dovecot-test-1 dovecot: director: Error: Empty server list Jul 26 11:51:20 dovecot-test-1 dovecot: director: Fatal: Invalid value for director_mail_servers setting Jul 26 11:51:20 dovecot-test-1 dovecot: master: Error: service(director): command startup failed, throttling for 60 secs Jul 26 11:52:20 dovecot-test-1 dovecot: director: Error: Empty server list Jul 26 11:52:20 dovecot-test-1 dovecot: director: Fatal: Invalid value for director_mail_servers setting Jul 26 11:52:20 dovecot-test-1 dovecot: master: Error: service(director): command startup failed, throttling for 60 secs That's for sure set->director_mail_servers variable in main_preinit of ./src/director/main.c But after dumping it it turns out that ppid of the process which failed to use main_preinit function is a "regular" dovecot not the proxy one. When main_preinit is used by dovecot-proxy then set->director_mail_servers = ip address of a mail server and it is all good but if main_preinit is used by dovecot then set->director_mail_servers = empty and I get fatal errors in logs. So here is a question: How come that "non-proxy" dovecot requests director_mail_servers variable and writes fatal error in the logs if it doesn't find it ? Thank you very much for any assistance!

[Dovecot] maildir_copy_with_hardlinks on v.2.0.19
by mailing list subscriber 31 Jul '12

31 Jul '12

Hi, I'm trying to get the so-called "single instance store" (I think cyrus has got the name for the first time) with dovecot --version = 2.0.19 binary package installed from ubuntu 12.04 lts official repo. I have checked that "maildir_copy_with_hardlinks" is enabled ("dovecot -a|grep hard" shows "yes") then I have installed and enabled the lmtp component of dovecot. The configuration "dovecot -n" is pasted here: http://paste.lug.ro/131180 Also in the same paste is a strace against dovecot and childrent showing evidence of the MTA delivering a single copy of the message via LMTP with multiple RCPT TO: headers. However when looking in the Maildir, I see the mail break down into three separate files instead of expected hardlinked files ("stat" and "ls" shows one single link count, inodes are different) Given the above data, what (am I | dovecot is) doing wrong? Please cc me if you need additional input when replying as I'm not subscribed to the list (I'll watch the thread online only) Many thanks in advance.

Evolution seems to be in pretty widespread > use. Wondering what others like and use heavily. Hi Chris, I tried Evolution once about 10 years ago, and it was too complex and comprehensive for me to understand. The centerpiece of my emailing activity is a Dovecot IMAP server on my daily driver desktop computer. The way it works is that fetchmail grabs all my email from my various POP accounts, pushes them through procmail, whose filters distribute the emails into the proper Dovecot IMAP directories (and also /dev/null stuff from PITA people). As far as I know, my Dovecot has never malfunctioned. Currently, I access my local IMAP with Claws-Mail. Claws is capable, robust, and does what I need without being an ecological disaster like Kmail or intermittently pig slow like Thunderbird. Claws' configuration is difficult to wrap your head around, and very much in need of better documentation, but so far, thanks to a knowledgeable and helpful user community on the mailing list, I've been able to make almost every config change to speed my interaction with Claws. My one complaint about Claws that can't be cured by documentation is its propensity to do everything with one process and one thread, so while you're sending an email or scanning your IMAP, you cannot look at other emails. I also wanted their powerful search to be able to recurse folders, and when nobody volunteered to do it, I tried to do it myself. Making something recursive sounds like simply a matter of writing a simple loop around the existing functionality, but what I found out is, at least this part of Claws was written in a manner resembling MVC, with process and UI completely commingled. For that reason I was unable to make it recursive. I have Claws on my daily driver and all my laptops. Thanks to Kevin Korb's instructions, on the laptops I was able to tell Claws its IMAP server was at 127.0.0.1. I pinholed my OpenBSD/pf firewall appliance to port forward incoming ssh to my daily driver. Then, on my laptop, if I'm at home and on the LAN, I run the following inhouse.sh sudo ssh -NTL 993:127.0.0.1:993 slitt(a)192.168.1.88 While on the road I run this travelling.sh: sudo ssh -NTL 993:127.0.0.1:993 slitt(a)99.99.99.99 In the preceding, 99.99.99.99 is the IP address my ISP gave me, while 192.168.1.88 is the LAN IP address of my daily driver. This makes 127.0.0.1:993 get pushed through ssh to the ISP supplied internet address or the LAN address. So I can use Claws to interact with my daily driver desktop anywhere I go. I'm extremely pleased with this setup. My IMAP tree is trivial to back up, and gives me the assurance that if Claws-Mail ever commits suicide the way Kmail did when they went to Kmail2, I can simply plug in a different IMAP enabled email client. Meanwhile, Claws gives me an extremely productive and easy to use user interface. With my client/server setup, I no longer need to copy all my email too and from the laptop when travelling. I'm going to present on my remote use of my daily driver desktop Dovecot, using Claws and ssh, at tomorrow night's GoLUG meeting.

[Dovecot] Address extensions
by Armistead, Kurt 31 Jul '12

31 Jul '12

Hi guys, I'm trying to set up in-mailbox routing for messages using the + delimiter. The server runs postfix and dovecot 1.2.15. I have re-defined the delivery service in master.cf as "-f ${sender} -d ${user}@${nexthop} -n -m INBOX.${extension}" (server was formerly courier) but the routing only works when the destination folder has no uppercase characters. "Folder1" doesn't deliver correctly while "folder2" does. What am I doing wrong? Kurt

[Dovecot] mysql auth failover failing
by Paul B. Henson 29 Jul '12

29 Jul '12

We are running dovecot to provide authentication for postfix, using two mysql servers in a multi-master replication set as the password source: ---------------------------------------- # 2.0.13: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.37-gentoo-r4 x86_64 Gentoo Base System release 2.0.2 auth_mechanisms = plain login digest-md5 cram-md5 auth_verbose = yes passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf driver = sql } protocols = none service auth-worker { unix_listener auth-worker { user = postfix } user = $default_internal_user } service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } user = postfix } ssl = no userdb { driver = passwd } --------------------------------------- With an sql config of: ------------------------- driver = mysql connect = host=mysql-1.unx.csupomona.edu host=mysql-2.unx.csupomona.edu dbname=idmgmt user=postfix password=XXXXXXX default_pass_scheme = PLAIN password_query = XXXXXXXXX ------------------------- According to the sample SQL configuration file "HA / round-robin load-balancing is supported by giving multiple host settings, like: host=sql1.host.org host=sql2.host.org". However, as far as I can tell dovecot only connects to the first listed host, and processes all queries through it, there does not appear to be any load-balancing going on. That's not necessarily a dealbreaker; however, high-availability does not appear to be working either. If I shutdown the first mysql server, dovecot starts to log connection failures: Sep 9 15:47:34 tweak dovecot: auth: Error: mysql(mysql-1.unx.csupomona.edu): Connect failed to database (idmgmt): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'mysql-1.unx.csupomona.edu' (111) - waiting for 1 seconds before retry Sep 9 15:47:39 tweak dovecot: auth: Error: mysql(mysql-1.unx.csupomona.edu): Connect failed to database (idmgmt): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'mysql-1.unx.csupomona.edu' (111) - waiting for 25 seconds before retry And postfix starts to fail authentications: Sep 9 15:47:35 tweak postfix/smtpd[5119]: warning: bender.iitsys.csupomona.edu[134.71.250.134]: SASL DIGEST-MD5 authentication failed: Connection lost to authentication server Now and again the authentication process dies: Sep 9 15:47:39 tweak dovecot: auth: Panic: file auth-request-handler.c: line 697 (auth_request_handler_flush_failures): assertion failed: (auth_request->state == AUTH_REQUEST_STATE_FINISHED) Sep 9 15:47:39 tweak dovecot: auth: Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x3f71a) [0x7f25822ca71a] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x3f766) [0x7f25822ca766] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x198ca) [0x7f25822a48ca] -> dovecot/auth() [0x4137f4] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handle_timeouts+0xd4) [0x7f25822d5fe4] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0x5b) [0x7f25822d6bcb] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x28) [0x7f25822d5c48] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(master_service_run+0x13) [0x7f25822c3de3] -> dovecot/auth(main+0x2be) [0x4179de] -> /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xfd) [0x7f2581898bbd] -> dovecot/auth() [0x40bdc9] Sep 9 15:47:39 tweak dovecot: master: Error: service(auth): child 4154 killed with signal 6 (core dumps disabled) Requests start to pile up: Sep 9 15:51:46 tweak dovecot: auth: Warning: auth workers: Auth request was queued for 25 seconds, 45 left in queue Lookups time out: Sep 9 15:57:22 tweak dovecot: auth: Error: auth worker: Aborted request: Lookup timed out This occasionally pops up: Sep 9 15:58:38 tweak dovecot: auth: Fatal: net_connect_unix(auth-worker) failed: Resource temporarily unavailable And sometimes the auth process gets temporarily disabled: Sep 9 15:58:57 tweak dovecot: master: Error: service(auth): command startup failed, throttling Resulting in more postfix authentication failures: Sep 9 15:58:57 tweak postfix/smtpd[6531]: warning: bender.iitsys.csupomona.edu[134.71.250.134]: SASL DIGEST-MD5 authentication failed: Sep 9 15:59:08 tweak postfix/smtpd[6551]: fatal: no SASL authentication mechanisms To the point where postfix also temporarily throttles smtpd: Sep 9 15:59:21 tweak postfix/master[6526]: warning: /usr/lib64/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup -- throttling Resulting in a complete unavailability of smtp service, not just unavailability of authenticated services. I don't think all authentications fail during the scenario, but I think the majority do. Based on the network traffic, dovecot is almost continuously trying to connect to the first listed server. It sometimes connects to the second listed server, but when it does, the connection does not persist, it goes away almost immediately. Ideally, I would like no authentications to fail if one of the MySQL servers is unavailable. If a few fail just when the server dies, that would be undesirable but acceptable as long as they do not continuously fail while the server is down. Am I doing something wrong? Does the example sql config have incorrect information? We were previously running dovecot 1.2.11, we just recently upgraded to 2. In the previous version, we actually had two different passdb's configured, each one listing only one of the mysql servers. I seem to recall that was the recommendation at the time for high-availability. When that configuration did not seem to work under version 2, I found an updated recommendation to list both servers in the same passdb, which also does not appear to work correctly. I actually went back and tested the older version, and determined it seemed to work okay in the case where the server was up but the service was down, and connections were refused, but also failed a large number of authentication attempts when the server was completely down and connections were timing out.

[Dovecot] Problem with preserving MIME format with Dovecot IMAP and Outlook
by Peter Grimmond 29 Jul '12

29 Jul '12

Hello, I have installed Dovecot 2.0.19 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I have set up a very basic IMAP configuration. I have two different laptops running Outlook (one MacOS, one Windows 7) and I have configured both to connect to the Dovecot service. My problem is, emails in MIME format that I synchronise from one Outlook client are not being correctly decoded as MIME messages on the other client. Instead, the message is rendered in plaintext, starting with the lines: This message is in MIME format. Since your mail reader does not understandthis format, some or all of this message may not be legible. --B_3426360453_22814Content-type: multipart/alternative; boundary="B_3426360453_4099" --B_3426360453_4099Content-type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1"Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable Can anyone help me understand why this might be happening? The output from dovecot -n is: # 2.0.19: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.2.0-26-generic-pae i686 Ubuntu 12.04 LTS auth_debug = yes auth_verbose = yes disable_plaintext_auth = no mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir passdb { driver = pam } protocols = " imap" ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = passwd } Thanks!

Dumping out this field using doveadm -ftab fetch -A \ "mailbox date.saved" \ $ mailbox Trash OR mailbox Junk OR mailbox "Deleted Items" $ it seems the timestamps do not actually correspond to when the client moves messages to their trash folder, but rather, to the time I query for it i.e. a query instantiates this value. This timestamp is then retained. In practice, if this query is done on a periodic interval (e.g. daily), the date.saved will be roughly correct, and is usable as an age test for expungement. Is there a way to force this value to be cached when the client actually saves or moves a message? Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

[Dovecot] [PATCH] Pop3/imap ordering in courier-dovecot-migrate.pl
by Pavel Stano 28 Jul '12

28 Jul '12

Hi, current version of courier migration script courier-dovecot-migrate.pl preserve order of POP3 UIDLs, but it keep IMAP UIDs not in order which cause problems with clients using IMAP along with POP3 in some cases. Attached patch use MAIL_FETCH_POP3_ORDER feature added in version 2.0.13 to keep POP3 and IMAP UID[L]s in order. -- [ Ohodnotte kvalitu mailu: http://nicereply.com/websupport/4afafd34/ ] Pavel Stano | admin team http://WebSupport.sk *** TAKE AND ENJOY ***

[Dovecot] Dsync replication
by list＠airstreamcomm.net 28 Jul '12

28 Jul '12

I have been loosely following discussions dsync replication, but I am wondering if this tool still in a testing phase or has it been committed as a production part of Dovecot? I would like to do some testing with the protocol to see if it's capable of handling the change rate our mail service generates, which has about 23,000 active users. We are trying to find solutions for a two site setup where mail processing is either being done at the primary data center A and fails over to a hot standby cluster at the secondary data center B, or where both data centers are doing active processing. I have been unable to find documentation on dsync replication on the wiki, so if there is any documentation available on how to setup dsync replication I would appreciate a nudge in the right direction.

[Dovecot] fts-lucene vs SEARCH HEADER
by Matthew Powell 28 Jul '12

28 Jul '12

Hello. This is in Dovecot 2.1.7 on Linux x86, but it looks as though 2.1.8 has the same issue. I'm using fts-lucene. SEARCH HEADER TO returns no results, but SEARCH TO works: B SEARCH TO TEST * SEARCH 1 2 3 4 5 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 24 26 27 28 29 31 B OK Search completed (0.000 secs). C SEARCH HEADER TO TEST * SEARCH C OK Search completed (0.000 secs). Without FTS enabled, both forms of the query work. It looks as though the header names are indexed in lower case. But Dovecot is passing the header name to the backend in upper case when SEARCH HEADER is used. I'm not sure whether this is the *right* fix, but lower-casing the header name in lucene-wrapper.cc seems to fix the problem: --- dovecot-2.1.7-clean/src/plugins/fts-lucene/lucene-wrapper.cc 2011-12-13 06:35:29.000000000 -0500 +++ dovecot-2.1.7/src/plugins/fts-lucene/lucene-wrapper.cc 2012-07-24 14:03:14.000000000 -0400 @@ -1094,7 +1094,7 @@ return false; q = lucene_get_query(index, - t_lucene_utf8_to_tchar(index, arg->hdr_field_name, FALSE), + t_lucene_utf8_to_tchar(index, t_str_lcase(arg->hdr_field_name), FALSE), arg); break; default: Now: B SEARCH TO TEST * SEARCH 1 2 3 4 5 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 24 26 27 28 29 31 B OK Search completed (0.000 secs).

[Dovecot] Auto logging-out client
by Nicolás 28 Jul '12

28 Jul '12

Hi list! I'm writing because of an issue I'm having with my Postfix-Dovecot installation. Everything's working fine but when an IMAP client is idle for some time, Dovecot automatically logs it out. Jul 26 14:01:16 mail dovecot: imap(nicolas(a)devels.es): Disconnected: Logged out bytes=1271/7439 This entails errors when trying to send e-mails after this auto logout, such as: host devels.es[91.215.158.237] said: 550-Please turn on SMTP Authentication in your mail client, or login to the 550-IMAP/POP3 server before sending your message. Which result in a very annoying and continuous proccess of restarting my mail client. Is there a way to avoid this auto-logout, or at least configure the time after I want idle clients to auto-logout? Thank you very much! Nicolás

[Dovecot] Slightly OT - Winbind and remote authentication.
by Simon Brereton 28 Jul '12

28 Jul '12

Hi I was doing some research on setting up a samba server for my internal network (as an alternative to NAS). The setup looks easy enough, but then I got to thinking - I already have an internet host with an mysql DB that has usernames and passwords and it would be simpler all round to reuse that as the authentication server. That server is also running Dovecot, so I thought it might be simpler still to set up samba to authenticate using IMAP (the mysql server is not accessible on port 3306 anyway). A quick google resulted in a suggestion from Robert (who by now must be on every single list I'm on or rather vice-versa) about using winbind. I went off to the link he posted - http://wiki.dovecot.org/Authentication/Mechanisms/Winbind?highlight=%28winb… and the problem is that seems to indicate bind and dovecot are on the same server. So, this not being the samba list notwithstanding, is it possible to use a remote dovecot host as an authentication back-end on a local samba installation? Cheers Simon

[Dovecot] Problem overriding default quota limit
by RAUL JAREÑO MORAGO 28 Jul '12

28 Jul '12

Hi, We get user's quota limit from LDAP. It works fine when user has quota attribute in LDAP (this is when it's different from default quota). But when user doesn't have quota limit attribute Dovecot doesn't take default value defined in quota plugin and assign unlimit quota to user. Our configuration is similar to the example from wiki ( http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Quota/Configuration ). This is the plugin configuration _plugin {_ _ quota = maildir:User quota_ _ quota_rule = *:storage=1G_ _ .........._ _}_ And this is the recovered fields in LDAP search: _user_attrs = mailMessageStore=home,mailquotasize=quota_rule=*:bytes=%$_ It works if user has mailquotasize in its LDAP entry. But if it hasn't it Dovecot assign 0 instead of *:STORAGE=1G This is the log when LTMP deliver a mail to a user without mailquotasize attribute: _auth: Debug: master in: USER#0111#011eepp68#011service=lmtp#011lip=172.31.100.120#011lport=24#011rip=172.31.100.119#011rport=41452_ _auth: Debug: userdb-cache(eepp68,172.31.100.119): miss_ _auth: Debug: ldap(eepp68,172.31.100.119): user search: base=o=Junta de Castilla-La Mancha,c=ES scope=subtree filter=(uid=eepp68) fields=mailMessageStore,MAILQUOTASIZE_ _auth: Debug: ldap(eepp68,172.31.100.119): result: mailMessageStore=/buzones1/e/eepp68; MAILQUOTASIZE MISSING_ _auth: Debug: master out: USER#0111#011eepp68#011home=/buzones1/e/eepp68#011QUOTA_RULE=*:BYTES=_ _lmtp(8235): Debug: auth input: eepp68 home=/buzones1/e/eepp68 quota_rule=*:bytes=_ _lmtp(8235): Debug: Added userdb setting: plugin/quota_rule=*:bytes=_ _lmtp(8235, eepp68): Debug: Effective uid=11184, gid=2110, home=/buzones1/e/eepp68_ _lmtp(8235, eepp68): Debug: Quota root: name=User quota backend=maildir args=_ _lmtp(8235, eepp68): Debug: Quota rule: root=User quota mailbox=* bytes=0 messages=0_ I tried it with defining default_fields in userdb but I get the same result: _userdb {_ driver = ldap args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap-lmtp.conf.ext default_fields = quota_rule=*:bytes=1073741824 } If I don't recover mailquotasize (user_attrs = mailMessageStore=home) Dovecot assign default quota limit, so it works in this case: auth: Debug: master in: USER#0111#011eepp68#011service=lmtp#011lip=172.31.100.120#011lport=24#011rip=172.31.100.119#011rport=41427 auth: Debug: userdb-cache(eepp68,172.31.100.119): miss auth: Debug: ldap(eepp68,172.31.100.119): user search: base=o=Junta de Castilla-La Mancha,c=ES scope=subtree filter=(uid=eepp68) fields=mailMessageStore auth: Debug: ldap(eepp68,172.31.100.119): result: mailMessageStore=/buzones1/e/eepp68 auth: Debug: master out: USER#0111#011eepp68#011home=/buzones1/e/eepp68 lmtp(8198): Debug: auth input: eepp68 home=/buzones1/e/eepp68 lmtp(8198, eepp68): Debug: Effective uid=11184, gid=2110, home=/buzones1/e/eepp68 lmtp(8198, eepp68): Debug: Quota root: name=User quota backend=maildir args= lmtp(8198, eepp68): Debug: Quota rule: root=User quota mailbox=* bytes=1073741824 messages=0 Any idea about where is the problem?

The default is not taken since your LDAP query returns a quota_rule with an empty bytes= value when the mailquotasize entry is missing.

Hi, I'm having a weird issue with dovecot 2.1.7 (using the latest thunderbird client). Something, I have emails that mark themselves as read on their own. No one touches them, and they get marked as read. I try to re-mark them as unread, but a few seconds later, they get marked as read again. The same problem happens in reverse (emails marks as unread become read). Has anyone ever experienced anything similar? I cannot see any warnings or errors in the dovecot logs, so I'm not sure if the problem is with thunderbird or with dovecot. However, I have never had this issue before switching from dovecot 1.0.X to dovecot 2.1.X. Unfortunately, we updated the thunderbird versions around the same time, so I feel like a dog chasing my tail on this issue. Any help would be appreciated. Regards, -Joe

I don't think anybody can give you any concrete idea of how to change your dovecot setup without a lot more information. It appears to me you'll have to do a clean re-do of your dovecot setup, using your old configuration as a reference. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

I just tried configuring the submission port on postfix but the problem persists even sending by port 587. About what Harald said, I guess I initially missed the point of the problem, it was just my conclusion because that error happens always after the logout message appears, and SMTP authentication is set on my client, so I deduced the problem had something to do with the logout thing. The curious thing is it just happens with SMTP, not with POP3/IMAP protocols. Thanks again! Nicolás

[Dovecot] Sieve & Adding headers.
by Steven Haigh 26 Jul '12

26 Jul '12

Hi all, I've just migrated my mail system from procmail to managesieve/sieve and I'm having trouble trying to duplicate a could of rules I used to use in my procmail config. One particular rule would be this: :0 Wfh * ^Sender: owner-scientific-linux-devel(a)LISTSERV.FNAL.GOV | (sed -e '/^Subject:/ s/\[SCIENTIFIC-LINUX-DEVEL\] *//g'| sed ':a;N;$!ba;s/Precedence: list/Precedence: list\nList-Post: <mailto:scientific-linux-devel@fnal.gov>/g') :0 A .Mail\ Lists.SL-Devel/ This in effect adds the header "List-Post: <mailto:scientific-linux-devel@fnal.gov>" after "Precedence: list". This allows me to use the Reply To List functionality in Thunderbird. Another rule is: :0 Wfh * ^X-BeenThere: users(a)lists.repoforge.org | sed -e '/^Subject:/ s/\[users\] *//g' :0 A .Mail\ Lists.RPMForge/ This removes the [users] tag from the subject of each message to the RPMForge / RepoForge mailing lists. Is there a way to do this with sieve? Nothing I have seen seems to do this - however I'm only a beginner in this area. Please CC myself as well as the list.

We are running dovecot-1.2.10 on a Solaris 10 x86 host.

What is common with the three users is that they are using alpine mail client. Again these just started on July 24. We have over 300 user and a lot of them use alpine but only three users seem to generate these lock files. Can some one tell me what and why these are being created and why they are not getting destroyed? Thanks Robert _____________________________________________________________________ Robert P.

[Dovecot] deleted-to-trash plugin problems
by Steve Platt 24 Jul '12

24 Jul '12

We have a user who wants to use Outlook with our Dovecot IMAP server but doesn't like the way Outlook handles deletion with IMAP. Ironically she would like Outlook to move the message to her Trash folder, just like Outlook does with "local" folders, I guess. So I enabled the "deleted-to-trash" plugin (v0.3) on our Dovecot 1.2.17 server (built for SPARC, solaris 10, btw). The problem is that it doesn't seem to work; the message doesn't even appear to get marked for delete. The imap log says: "opening Trash succeeded" and then nothing else! I have found that there is a copy of the message in .Trash/tmp/ suggesting that the plugin may be bailing out part way through. Has anyone any idea what's wrong please? I'll attach the output of dovecot -n ... Thanks, Steve

Well, OK, if you not keen on greylisting, you can try greet pausing, which introduces a shorter delay. It tests a bot's patience by inserting a pre-HELO pause. RFC allows 5 minutes before timeout. This is last week's stat for one of my mail server and the count of early-talker or early-disconnecter, almost all of which are bots. A greet pause of over 20s dumps a lot of bots. Expect to whitelist the odd server here and there because they've tuned their servers to some aggressively small RFC non-compliant timeouts.

That's another problem with the poor IT guy trying to assemble bricks from different vendors: when he finally is heard, the answer is "uhm, the feature you requested fail beyond the scope of my brick. I'm sorry, I can't do that", even when there is a proposed patch available! If you read carefully all my referenced links you'll find one that is listing other imap servers that support it.

Unfortunately that feature only addresses PROVISIONING of data, which is quite unuseful since cyrus mail admins do this with the auto-* uoa.gr patches (that's another pain that devs refused to include for a long time) - What it lacks is the ability to handle CHANGE (change of default script, or alter existing user scripts).

[Dovecot] Couple of questions about the logs
by Steve Campbell 23 Jul '12

23 Jul '12

The log entries for imap disconnection shows a "bytes = x/y" format where the x equals bytes sent from client and y equals bytes received from client. Can someone explain that a little better to me, please? In an imap account, does this "y" represent the size of the header information being returned to the client or the amount of data of the email mailbox? Also, is there a way to tell if an email has been deleted (or marked for deletion) when using an imap client? Here's the situation: I've got a user who uses imap when using his phone and webmail. When in the office, he uses a pop3 client on his desktop. He indicates he's missing some emails from the weekend when first turning on his desktop. I know of no way to discover if he's deleted and then purged email from his mailbox using imap clients. I've checked the logs and he does not access his mailbox simultaneously from any of the 3 clients. I can find 31 emails he received since his last pop login on Friday until his first pop login on Monday. The pop login indicates he received only 27 emails during the pop retrieval. I'm a little lost here. Any help would be appreciated in interpreting the logs or suggesting how this might have happened. thanks steve campbell

[Dovecot] Performance based choices
by Hans J. Albertsson 22 Jul '12

22 Jul '12

I've stopped trying to find a HowTo that suits me right away, and instead I am happily trudging thru the Dovecot wiki, article by article. I have right up front thought of one question, a general one, and some detailed versions of that same question: Generally, is there much general performance and reliability background data available for making the basic choices? Say: 1st. delivery: maildrop or LDA or LMTP? I tend to think LMTP should be the ideal choice for me, from what I've gleaned so far. Above all it means that there's only one conceptual thing that needs to know, and postfix and other stuff can safely let dovecot deal with accessing and finding mailboxes. And it won't start and stop thousands of processes. 2nd. mailbox format: Maildir and mbox are the older forms. Are there any advantages to using dovecot's dbox instead? mdbox strikes me as having the potential for being a fast and reliable format. Is that an accurate impression? And, is mdbox mature enough for me to forget maildir and mbox? 3rd. I'm aiming for a poor man's High Availability system: I'm using zfs, and I'm hoping to place all config data for dovecot and postfix and everything else in one zfs file system, and all the user owned data (what should normally go in a home directory) in another (or two or three other) zfs file systems. Then I'm planning to copy over all data at regular intervals, to a second, normally passive, mail server. If the main server breaks, we'll manually (or using scripts and autodetection) fail over to the passive one, making it active, and turning power off to the failed guy using IPMI. The data transfer is to be zfs send/zfs recv over a separate highly redundant network connection. Is this a reasonable idea, or is there some advantage to letting dsync do some of the copying??? Or is there some totally different alternative? iscsi? 4th. With about a thousand users/accounts: does MySQL pay off? Or is LDAP the way to go? Or will a dovecot-specific passwd-file do the job well enough? Those are the three I'm used to since before. I'd like to stay with the flat file, but not the system password file: we're not going to let users in except into dovecot.

[Dovecot] Corrupted dbox file - purging found mismatched offsets

After running our daily doveadm purge loop over all users, we got dbox corruption... doveadm user "*" |\ while read username do doveadm -c /etc/dovecot-director/dovecot-director.conf -D purge -u "$username" done For one user (which deleted a lot of messages from his mailboxes today), we got the following error in the dovecot.log: Jul 22 20:10:36 10.129.3.213 dovecot: doveadm(user(a)example.org): Error: Corrupted dbox file /mail/dovecot/example.org/user/mail/storage/m.24 (around offset=1380859): purging found mismatched offsets (1380829 vs 920527, 3/61) Jul 22 20:10:36 10.129.3.213 dovecot: doveadm(user(a)example.org): Warning: mdbox /mail/dovecot/example.org/user/mail/storage: rebuilding indexes What does this message exactly tell me and how to prevent this in the future?

[Dovecot] Confusion when trying to set up a first postfix+dovecot mailserver
by Hans J. Albertsson 22 Jul '12

22 Jul '12

I'm trying to set up a first test for a dovecot + postfix (+ many other things) mail server for about 1000 accounts, and I keep stumbling on confusing inconsistencies in the HowTo documents I'm trying to follow. I tried to do a simple setup with virtual users using a howto saying it was for just that and that it's for Dovecot 2.x, and it shows a few text chunks to put in files, and then says it's better to do the changes in the example-config conf file.... And then the whole structure of config files and dirs is totally different from what is implied in the howto. And of course it won't run. Probably because of the structure of a conf.d dir is multiple files, and the instructions are explicitly written for the case of having a single conf file. Can anyone suggest an order in which to read docs that will take me thru w/o being totally confusing? I would very much like to be able to enable bit by bit, rather than have to understand all of dovecot before I can even begin to test it. P.S: I want to setup a server using postfix+dovecot+tls+virtualusers+maildir+dspam+mailman, at least that's the target I'm aiming for. Please suggest a good HowTo for this setup that will not be too confusing. Also, Sorry if I sound like a whining kid: I am new to dovecot and postfix, but I was a software support engineer for Sun for ages, and I should really be able to manage this if I just had some consistent and non-confusing HowTo or Tutorial to follow as a first try.

[Dovecot] postfix/sendmail configuration
by Gary Partis 20 Jul '12

20 Jul '12

Hi all I have searched the net and cant find anything relating to this. In 15-lda.conf, the default sendmail is used to send messges from Dovecot, such as "out of hours" and "redirected" emails controlled by sieves. However, postfix/sendmail is looking in /etc/postfix/main.cf for the configuration file (as logged in /var/log/maillog), but I have the config file elsewhere, and I even have MAIL_CONFIG setup to point to the true config directory. Is there a method of setting 15-lda.conf sendmail config to ensure it uese the correct postfix config file? Thanks in advance Gary

[Dovecot] Append with literal+ and mailbox over quota
by Ewald Dieterich 19 Jul '12

19 Jul '12

I'm appending a mail with literal+ to a mailbox that is over quota: 1 APPEND INBOX {127+} From: <ewald.dieterich(a)fun.de> To: <ewald.dieterich(a)fun.de> Subject: Quota-Test Message-ID: <abcdefg(a)fun.de> Quota-Test 1 NO [OVERQUOTA] Quota exceeded (mailbox for user is full) 2 NOOP 1 BAD Error in IMAP command APPEND: Invalid arguments. 3 NOOP 3 OK NOOP completed. Somehow the first NOOP is considered to be part of the already failed APPEND. I have to add an empty line after to NO response for the NOOP to work: 1 APPEND INBOX {127+} From: <ewald.dieterich(a)fun.de> To: <ewald.dieterich(a)fun.de> Subject: Quota-Test Message-ID: <abcdefg(a)fun.de> Quota-Test 1 NO [OVERQUOTA] Quota exceeded (mailbox for user is full) 2 NOOP 2 OK NOOP completed. Can somebody confirm this to be bug?

[Dovecot] Converting from Maildir format ?
by Nick＠5sg.eu 19 Jul '12

19 Jul '12

Hi again, I'm still trying to find out if anyone knows the correct way to either switch the existing Maildir multiple file format to the single file format I believe known as MBox. Failing that, though it'll mean a LOT of work for me to manually convert all of the existing Maildirs, how do I get dovecot to work in future in MBox single file format. I tried entering 'mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/%h/%u' in the 'dovecot.conf', but it still saves each message in a file of its own in the /new /cur /tmp directories ??

[Dovecot] Make a whole mailbox read-only

Hello, i've found an old thread [1] where it was stated that a whole mailbox can be made read-only only setting the according permissions on the filesystem side. [1] http://www.mailinglistarchive.com/html/dovecot@dovecot.org/2011-12/msg00300… i'd like to check if it's still the only option we have with dovecot v2.0.18 .

Whilst I would normally agree, at the same time I've had a fair amount of experience with dovecot and sendmail (been running them for over 10 years). Pigeonhole is new to me, however. . . > One thing I did notice is that you are sending this mail from an internal IP... since most people use very different checks for such mail (bypassing many/most checks), maybe you should be testing from an external address (one that comes in from outside your network)? So I have a DMZ that houses the mail server for my domain, which is where the private addresses are. Connections are passed through the OpenBSD router to the mail server. So testing from an external address would be essentially the same (since the connection to the SMTP server talks to the sendmail process as the /usr/lib/sendmail process). Regardless, my original tests were sending mail from the Mac off-network. > Also, it is always recommended when setting up a new server to start with the latest version... for 2.0.x that would be 2.0.19, but the latest is 2.1.8... When I set it up, 2.0.13 _was_ the latest. :-) I was hoping to avoid the pain of recompiling dovecot and pigeonhole. Not that big a deal, I guess. . . >> lda_original_recipient_header = X-Original-To >> lmtp_save_to_detail_mailbox = yes > > Ok, I think this is the problem... > > Dovecot's LMTP currently does NOT preserve the x-original-to header... in fact, brought this up recently (I was one of the ones interested in Timo adding support for it) on this (and the postfix, which is what I use) on this very list: > > http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2012-April/065075.html > > Apparently, after Timo discussed this on the postfix list, he determined that it would not be a very significant change for him to make to add support for this header in LMTP and that he would get to it sooner than later, but as of now, it has not been added. Actually, I'm not using lmtp. I whacked the lmtp_save_to_detail_mailbox in an effort to see if that was the issue before I realized I don't have it turned on. dovecot.conf has: protocols = imap though in 20-managesieve.conf I have: protocols = $protocols sieve I just turned it off and restarted dovecot (though lmtp was not running) and re-ran the test with the same result. So, I think what's going on is pretty straightforward. The local mailer definition in the sendmail.cf file is: Mlocal, P=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda, F=lsDFMAw5:/|@qSPhn9, S=EnvFromL/HdrFromL, R=EnvToL/HdrToL, T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix, A=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -d $u This is more or less right out of the wiki. Since dovecot-lda is passed the -d option, it's using that (and only that) for delivery. Since there's no X-Original-To: header, it doesn't really have any option (since the non-envelope-to address might not exist, or point to something other than the end user's mailbox, etc). It would appear that I have two options: 1) Figure out what macro(s) is(are) valid to pass to dovecot-lda with the -a option in the sendmail config file (sendmail.cf). 2) Get sendmail to put "X-Original-To: <address>" in the header. Both would appear to be a sendmail issue, not a dovecot/pigeonhole issue. Everything I find on the web seems to center around how to use plus addressing to accept mail from multiple email address and filter it into a single address for delivery, only to have the local delivery agent break it back out again. That's not my issue. :-( Sean Sean

[Dovecot] doesn't work at all
by David Drexler 19 Jul '12

Hi, I can't seem to get dovecot to work. When I connect with thunderbird, tbird complains that it can't find the settings for my email. When I connect with evolution, it seems to go through all the motions but it doesn't pick up the waiting messages. Those messages are marked Status: O s if it had read them. The log file for tbird looks like this: Jul 18 17:03:21 why dovecot: imap-login: Aborted login (no auth attempts): rip=68.12.110.134, lip=184.176.6.227 Jul 18 17:03:22 why dovecot: imap-login: Aborted login (no auth attempts): rip=68.12.110.134, lip=184.176.6.227 Jul 18 17:03:22 why dovecot: imap-login: Aborted login (no auth attempts): rip=68.12.110.134, lip=184.176.6.227 Jul 18 17:03:22 why dovecot: pop3-login: Aborted login (no auth attempts): rip=68.12.110.134, lip=184.176.6.227 Jul 18 17:03:22 why dovecot: pop3-login: Aborted login (no auth attempts): rip=68.12.110.134, lip=184.176.6.227 Jul 18 17:03:22 why dovecot: pop3-login: Aborted login (no auth attempts): rip=68.12.110.134, lip=184.176.6.227 Jul 18 17:03:22 why dovecot: imap-login: Aborted login (no auth attempts): rip=68.12.110.134, lip=184.176.6.227 Jul 18 17:03:22 why dovecot: pop3-login: Aborted login (no auth attempts): rip=68.12.110.134, lip=184.176.6.227 Jul 18 17:03:22 why dovecot: imap-login: Aborted login (no auth attempts): rip=68.12.110.134, lip=184.176.6.227 Jul 18 17:03:22 why dovecot: pop3-login: Aborted login (no auth attempts): rip=68.12.110.134, lip=184.176.6.227 Jul 18 17:03:22 why dovecot: pop3-login: Aborted login (no auth attempts): rip=68.12.110.134, lip=184.176.6.227 The log file with evolution is: Jul 17 19:36:43 why dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<ddrex>, method=PLAIN, rip=68. 12.110.134, lip=184.176.6.227, mpid=22717, TLS Jul 17 19:36:43 why dovecot: imap(ddrex): Debug: Effective uid=500, gid=500, home=/ home/ddrex Jul 17 19:36:43 why dovecot: imap(ddrex): Debug: fs: root=/home/ddrex/mail, index=, control=, inbox=/var/mail/ddrex Jul 17 19:46:17 why dovecot: imap(ddrex): Error: Next message unexpectedly corrupte d in mbox file /var/mail/ddrex at 1504 My conf file: # 2.0.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-220.23.1.el6.x86_64 x86_64 CentOS release 6.2 (Final) base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/ imap_client_workarounds = "delay-newmail " listen = * mail_debug = yes mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u mail_privileged_group = mail mbox_very_dirty_syncs = yes mbox_write_locks = fcntl passdb { driver = pam } pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh protocols = imap pop3 service imap-login { vsz_limit = 64 M } service pop3-login { vsz_limit = 64 M } ssl_cert = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = passwd } -------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for any clues. dd

[Dovecot] SQLite dovecot query caching
by Dominic Malolepszy 19 Jul '12

Hi, I am wondering if Dovecot caches SQLite queries, and how well it works in high performance setups. I am particularly interested because in the below thread SQLite has been suggested as a means of Dovecot proxying connections to different ports. http://old.nabble.com/director%3A-non-standart-ports-at-backends-td33991991… Cheers, Dominic.

[Dovecot] MySQL dict issues
by list＠airstreamcomm.net 18 Jul '12

18 Jul '12

Testing using the mysql dict for quota storage (dovecot-2.0.12-2_127.el5), and ran into a couple issues. First is a permissions issue: dovecot: lmtp(26786, dude(a)test.tld) Error: net_connect_unix(/var/run/dovecot/dict) failed: Permission denied (euid=5000(<unknown>) egid=5000(<unknown>) missing +r perm: /var/run/dovecot/dict, euid is not dir owner) The file /var/run/dovecot/dict is listed with srw------- perms. I changes the perms to srw----rwx and it works, but I would like to figure out how to configure properly to run with the uid and gid 5000 as this is the user for virtual mail. The second issue is that two identical rows are created in the mysql database for each user quota. The next message delivered updates both rows. Here is my quota config: 90-quota.conf: plugin { quota_rule = *:storage=10G quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+10% } plugin { quota = dict:user::proxy::userquota } dict { userquota = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext } dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext: connect = host=a.b.c.d dbname=mail user=user password=derp map { pattern = priv/quota/storage table = domain_user_quotas username_field = username value_field = bytes } map { pattern = priv/quota/messages table = domain_user_quotas username_field = username value_field = message_count } The last issue might be a documentation omission. Dovecot warned me that the mysql user did not have DELETE privileges on the quota table: dovecot: dict: Error: sql dict: commit failed: DELETE command denied to user 'user'@'a.b.c.d' for table 'domain_user_quotas' The quota dict documentation (at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Quota/Dict) does not mention DELETE being needed: MySQL uses the following queries to update the quota. You need suitable privileges. INSERT INTO table (bytes,username) VALUES ('112497180','foo(a)spam.dom') ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE bytes='112497180'; INSERT INTO table (messages,username) VALUES ('1743','foo(a)spam.dom') ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE messages='1743'; UPDATE table SET bytes=bytes-14433,messages=messages-2 WHERE username = 'foo(a)spam.dom';

Hi, I'm running dovecot 1.2.11 on Centos and have the expire plugin enabled. I've had this in place for some time but until now never actually ran the expire-tool. I'm now trying to put this to use. The expire plugin as such is working fine and also the tool is working fine - up to a point. When I run it with --test it goes through a bunch of boxes and lists the messages it would expunge and the new date being logged at the end. As soon as it hits the first box that has nothing in it that's expired however, it stops and goes no further. As an example here are the last two lines of the output when I just ran it: Info: user(a)domain.com/Trash: timestamp 1342320464 (Sat Jul 14 19:47:44 2012) -> 1342937319 (Sat Jul 21 23:08:39 2012) Info: nextuser(a)domain.com/Trash: stop, expire time in future: Sat Jul 14 20:41:49 2012 If I run it again after the indicated expire time it will now also go through the nextuser(a)domain.com but then again stop as soon as it encounters another user with nothing to expire. As far as I can tell the same happens when I actually run the tool. Harder to tell of course as there is no output, but I can tell that not all boxes are expunged as they should be. Any ideas why this would be? Any way to get debug logging on this? Michael

[Dovecot] Compile issue Dovecot 2.1.8, OS X 10.6.x
by Jim 18 Jul '12

18 Jul '12

Hey all. I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.4, and had Dovecot 2.0.7 installed built from source. I'm now wanting to upgrade to Dovecot 2.1.8, but I can't get MAKE to finish without errors: ./configure --with-mysql (snip) Install prefix . : /usr/local File offsets ... : 64bit I/O polling .... : kqueue I/O notifys .... : kqueue SSL ............ : yes (OpenSSL) GSSAPI ......... : no passdbs ........ : static passwd passwd-file pam checkpassword sql : -shadow -bsdauth -sia -ldap -vpopmail userdbs ........ : static prefetch passwd passwd-file checkpassword sql : -ldap -vpopmail -nss SQL drivers .... : mysql : -pgsql -sqlite Full text search : squat : -lucene -solr sudo make (snip) Undefined symbols: "_libiconv_open", referenced from: _charset_to_utf8_begin in libcharset.a(charset-iconv.o) "_libiconv", referenced from: _charset_to_utf8_reset in libcharset.a(charset-iconv.o) _charset_to_utf8 in libcharset.a(charset-iconv.o) "_libiconv_close", referenced from: _charset_to_utf8_end in libcharset.a(charset-iconv.o) ld: symbol(s) not found collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[3]: *** [libdovecot.la] Error 1 make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make: *** [all] Error 2 The reason for the 'sudo make' was to get around a permissions issue, but I don't think that's related to my issue here. I had build Dovecot 2.0.7 and earlier without issue on this system, but I'm a bit stumped on this particular problem. I also found that the configure parameter --with-sql-drivers no longer seems to work, even though it's still shown in the wiki for 2.x. As far as I can tell, I had used this parameter when compiling 2.0.7.

[Dovecot] Different LDAP filters for different protocols
by James Devine 18 Jul '12

18 Jul '12

Is it possible to query LDAP differently for different protocols? I am using dovecot for both pop3/imap and lmtp deliveries and there are different enable flags in ldap for them. I tried wrapping user_filter inside the protocols in the file dovecot-ldap.conf.ext as shown below but this didn't seem to work. protocol lmtp { user_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(cn=%u)(active=1)(msmtp=1)) } protocol imap { user_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(cn=%u)(active=1)(mpop=1)) } protocol pop3 { user_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(cn=%u)(active=1)(mpop=1)) }

[Dovecot] outlook and redirect sieve
by Lazy 18 Jul '12

18 Jul '12

Hi Aall, we are having issues with outlook clients, running exchange or lotus being unable to parse the email messages redirected by dovecot's sieve 0.3.1, the command is plain redirect "email(a)lotusmail.xxx"; redirects from mta also work correctly exchange was fixed by removing this commit http://hg.rename-it.nl/dovecot-2.1-pigeonhole/raw-diff/082216ad12d6/src/lib… are there any other modifications to the email body or headers that can make those mesages not parsable for outlook ? looking at http://hg.rename-it.nl/dovecot-2.1-pigeonhole/raw-diff/082216ad12d6/src/lib… maybe removing HEADER_FILTER_NO_CR fromi_stream_create_header_filter() will make redirected messages more in tact ? what can I do to make redirect more verbatim ? Thanks in advance for any information. Regards, Michal Grzedzicki

[Dovecot] Selective TLS per local IP
by Robert Blayzor 17 Jul '12

17 Jul '12

We have the requirement to provide SSL on some IP addresses, but not others on our servers. Providing SSL is the easy part and we're able to use multiple SSL certificates now. (thanks Timo!) All is working ok, but we several IP hosts that do not require SSL and do not have valid certificates. While we can limit access via a firewall ACL to TLS connect ports (993/995) we can't do so on port 110/143. The problem is that some clients now are smart enough to look for an offered STARTTLS or STLS, and if it's offered, they try to use it. While not normally a problem if your setup for SSL with valid key/certs, if you have a self signed or no CERT at all, it starts connection warnings and errors on the client side. So is there any way possible to turn off advertising of TLS on port or turn it off/on per IP? Something like: ssl = yes ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/cert/default.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/cert/default.pem local 10.1.1.1 { protocol imap { ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/cert/site1.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/cert/site1.pem } protocol pop3 { ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/cert/site1.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/cert/site1.pem } } local 10.1.1.2 { ssl = no } *or* ssl = no local 10.1.1.1 { ssl = yes protocol imap { ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/cert/site1.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/cert/site1.pem } protocol pop3 { ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/cert/site1.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/cert/site1.pem } } -- Robert Blayzor INOC, LLC rblayzor(a)inoc.net http://www.inoc.net/~rblayzor/

[Dovecot] [PATCH] Interop problem with Cyrus SASL and GSSAPI
by Ben Morrow 17 Jul '12

17 Jul '12

[I sent this a while ago, but it seems not to have made it to the list. I'm resending it having subscribed first; I apologise if anyone get it twice.] I have been trying to get a Postfix mail server using Dovecot SASL to accept GSSAPI AUTH from another Postfix server using Cyrus SASL, and I believe I have found a couple of bugs in Dovecot's GSSAPI implementation. The first problem is that, because of the way the client invokes libsasl, it sends a GSSAPI request which does not ask for mutual authentication. This means that on the server gss_accept_sec_context returns GSS_S_COMPLETE with a zero-length output token. Dovecot currently sends this to the client as a zero-length continuation response, but this is incorrect according to RFC 4752: what it ought to do instead is proceed straight to the security layer negotiations, and send a gss_wrap packet. The second is that Cyrus sends an empty authz identity; that is, the security layer negotiation packet, when gss_unwrapped, is exactly 4 bytes long. Dovecot objects to this, but in RFC 4422 this is explicitly allowed, and means the authz identity is identical to the authn identity. I believe the attached patches (for the 1.2 and 2.1 branches) fix the problem, though I'm not entirely sure if the difference between the p_strndup in mech_gssapi_unwrap and the t_strndup in get_display_name is important.

[Dovecot] Feature request
by Malloc Kilobyte 17 Jul '12

17 Jul '12

Hi, I am implementig Dovecot as a part of my new e-mail server, which is aimed to be replacement for proprietary software I've been using sofar. Appreciating all Dovecot rich features, I lack just one. And this is the ability to customize the "quota exceeded, message rejected" message. I know I can set it's default content using quota_exceeded_message parameter, but i would also like to have ability to set: - to whom the message is sent. Some mail systems send copy not only to the sender, but also to the recipient. It makes sense in case rejected message has big size. - it's subject - if the rejected message is being attached ( with or without it's own attachments ) or not Moreover, I think it would make sense if the "rejected messege" contained information about size of rejected message and current mailbox space usage. Please, consider this in future development. with regards and respect to the tremendousness of Dovecot, -- malloc4k

[Dovecot] doveadm director status username != doveadm director status username@mailserver
by Joseba Torre 17 Jul '12

17 Jul '12

Hi, I've almost finished my new director based setup, but in the first test I discovered that imap and lmtp connections were not always being proxied to the same server. After some research now I think that the main problem is that in imap connections users connect as 'username' while lmtp connections are as 'username@mailserver'. In my current setup I receive mail via SMTP in my director servers (which are loadbalanced by a CISCO machine), and then they send them to dovecot running on localhost. I've tried to get rid of the @mailserver in postfix in a generic way with no success. Is there any way to redirect connections based only in the local part of the address? Or there is a way to get rid of the @mailserver in the postfix -> lmtp connection? Both doveadm config -n and postconf -n are attached. Thanks. $ doveadm config -n # 2.1.8: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-220.17.1.el6.x86_64 x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.2 (Santiago) auth_debug = yes auth_master_user_separator = * auth_verbose = yes director_mail_servers = buzones2.ehu.es buzones3.ehu.es director_servers = director1.ehu.es director2.ehu.es doveadm_proxy_port = 4444 lmtp_proxy = yes mail_debug = yes managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date ihave passdb { args = proxy=y nopassword=y starttls=any-cert driver = static } protocols = imap pop3 lmtp sieve service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { user = dovecot } } service director { fifo_listener login/proxy-notify { mode = 0666 } inet_listener { port = 3333 } unix_listener director-userdb { mode = 0600 } unix_listener login/director { mode = 0666 } } service doveadm { inet_listener { port = 4444 } } service imap-login { executable = imap-login director } service lmtp { inet_listener ltmp { address = director2.ehu.es 127.0.0.1 port = 24 } unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } } service managesieve-login { executable = managesieve-login director vsz_limit = 128 M } service pop3-login { executable = pop3-login director } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem syslog_facility = local1 userdb { args = allow_allusers=yes driver = static } protocol lmtp { auth_socket_path = director-userdb mail_plugins = " sieve" syslog_facility = local2 } protocol doveadm { auth_socket_path = director-userdb } $ postconf -n alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases canonical_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/canonical command_directory = /usr/sbin config_directory = /etc/postfix daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix data_directory = /var/lib/postfix debug_peer_level = 2 html_directory = no inet_interfaces = all inet_protocols = all local_destination_concurrency_limit = 10 local_recipient_maps = ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap-local-recipients.cf proxy:unix:passwd.byname $alias_maps mail_owner = postfix mailbox_transport = lmtp:inet:localhost:24 mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq.postfix manpage_directory = /usr/share/man message_size_limit = 15000000 mydestination = ehu.es, mailsever.ehu.es, othermailserver.ehu.es mydomain = ehu.es myhostname = director1.ehu.es mynetworks_style = host myorigin = $mydomain newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases.postfix queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.6.6/README_FILES relayhost = [smtp.ehu.es] sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.6.6/samples sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix setgid_group = postdrop unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550

We don't use passdb in the directors because incoming mails have already been checked by postfix, and the final mail server need to check our ldap server for other values, so we check there.

[Dovecot] imapc: Restrict the number of connections
by René Neumann 17 Jul '12

17 Jul '12

Hi, I have managed to get an imapc connection to another server and bind its contents to only one account (via global ACL). The namespace itself is created as public, though it does not seem to make a difference for this use case (i.e., it does not matter, whether its type is 'public', 'shared', or 'private'). namespace { hidden = no list = children location = imapc: prefix = Gemeinsam. separator = . subscriptions = no type = public } One problem remains: Though there is only one account that is allowed to use this imapc-connection, each imap-process opens a connection to the imapc'd server. Is this caused directly by the imapc_*-definitions in the config? Or is there a way of restricting this to only the account which actually uses it. Used dovecot version: 2.1.8 Thanks, René
