Using sqlite as dict for last_auth plugin
by Oleg petol 04 Oct '22

04 Oct '22

Hi! It is required to collect statistics about the time of the last IMAP and POP3 login of the user and the delivery of letters to him via lmtp. The last-login plugin is perfect. But I don't want to use heavy databases as the mail system service is served by the Oracle DB. The most suitable option, as I see, is to store statistics in the sqlite DB, but after going through all the options in the configuration file, I could not use sqlite. When writing in configuration: plugin { driver=sqlite last_login_dict = sqlite:statsdb last_login_key = last-login/%s/%u/%r last_login_precision = ms } I am getting an error: Oct 4 17:01:41 nms4 dovecot: imap(new_ver_test(a)test2.aroma.ru)<154597><q0VJ5jXq9o4KAQDI>: Error: last_login_dict: dict_init(sqlite:statsdb) failed: Unknown dict module: sqlite I did the last-login plugin setup exactly according to the instructions: https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/mail_location/obox/last_login_… I am using standard debian packages. Desperate, I built latest dovecot version from source, but got exactly the same error. Tell me, please, is it possible to use a dictionary in sqlite format to collect last-login plugin statistics? And how should I describe it in the configuration file?

Good Morning Michael, No problem. Although, to be clear I didnt point out anything, but its Sébastien and the credit shall go for him. Also, by the way in EXIM MTA, there is verify syntax condition in data acl, which checks all email headers and validate that they are standards compliant and reject sending any email beforehand to your issue which has non-compliant header and offers the ability to remove such headers with condition handling e.g. if contained any Sieve header, to request removing message id headers with headers_remove and add compliant one with add_header, and I guess this will mitigate any mail service provider rejection issue. If you are postfix user and considering switching, let me know, I might be able to help. Zakaria.

Matching Addresses in Sieve
by Doug Hardie 01 Oct '22

01 Oct '22

I have an email with the following header line: From: 'Thank you!Kohls' <Kohls-MNc(a)FeedbackKohlsOpinionRequestedlxecrftHO.com> I am trying to match that with: if address :contains "from" "Thank you!Kohls" { addflag "\\Seen"; fileinto "Junk"; stop; } However, the matching portion of the from address is only the section between < and >. Since there are changing sections that are different for each email, I can't use that. I wanted to match the stuff before <. I have tried numerous formats for the if statement but none of them have worked. What is the proper way to make that match work? Thanks, -- Doug

new feature: sieve forward plugin
by Marc 26 Sep '22

26 Sep '22

As this page[1] describes a more often occurring problem of forwarding messages from servers that are not included in the spf records. Maybe there should be a plugin that offers this forward functionality. Something like get the spf records of the sender check if there is a -all then apply the sender substitution. https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/sieve/configuring_auto_forward…

Custom post login scripting variables via ID command
by hi＠zakaria.website 26 Sep '22

26 Sep '22

Hi there, I wonder if dovecot would consider this feature request. In post login scripting, given USER, IP, LOCAL_IP, and userdb lookup fields, are only available, I want to push additional variables from web mail to dovecot using ID commands yet I looked at the source in imap-login-cmd-id.c and script-login.c it seems to be possible while I'm not an expert in C and IMAP standards and not sure if its something would break the standards. I hope the dev team to consider this and if anyone have a workaround or an idea with I can start to patch a workaround myself, please let me know as it would be very much appreciated. With thanks. Zakaria.

what sieve variables / syntax is available to sieve scripts.
by Marc 25 Sep '22

25 Sep '22

1. where can I find all variables like "imap.user" like in mentioned on page[2] 2. I have the impression that variables like "${from}" are all being set from scanning the whole email again seeing these "if matches" statements. Is that not super inefficient? I would assume that such variables would be set and made available upon the receipt of a message. 3. What is the point of this: if environment :matches "imap.user" "*" { set "username" "${1}"; } pipe :copy "sa-learn-ham.sh" [ "${username}" ]; Why can't I just use: pipe :copy "sa-learn-ham.sh" [ "imap.user" ]; [1] require [ "vnd.dovecot.pipe", "copy", "variables" ]; if header :matches "subject" "*" { set "subject" "${1}"; } if header :matches "from" "*" { set "from" "${1}"; } pipe :args [ "USER(a)DOMAIN.TLD", "${from}", "${subject}" ] :copy :try "jabber_notify.sh" ; from page https://wiki.dovecot.org/Pigeonhole/Sieve/Plugins/Pipe [2] if environment :matches "imap.user" "*" { set "username" "${1}"; } pipe :copy "sa-learn-spam.sh" [ "${username}" ]; https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/howto/antispam_with_sieve/#how…

test sieve plugin(?) development
by Marc 24 Sep '22

24 Sep '22

Say for testing purposes I would like to add sender email addresses to a database file (eg gdbm) per user. How would I go about doing this? Do I need to create something like in https://github.com/dovecot/pigeonhole/tree/src/lib-sieve/plugins Or can I just create a go binary, and parse data to it? Is there not something like a hello world example for this?

Duplicate UID warning in dsync backups
by Doug 23 Sep '22

23 Sep '22

Hi, Running dovecot version 2.3.18 with mdbox storage. I run daily backups using dsync on the same server into maildir format. Several times per week I will get an error like the one below that prevents backups from completing. The error is always on my user, never any of my other couple dozen users. dsync(doug): Warning: Deleting mailbox 'INBOX': UID=133060 already exists locally for a different mail: GUIDs don't match (1657786027.M158587P19048.maildev.domain.com vs 581a08178e8ecf62f04700002bad4ea1) dsync(doug): Error: Couldn't delete mailbox INBOX: INBOX can't be deleted. Subsequent backups typically have a slightly different error. dsync(doug): Warning: Deleting mailbox 'INBOX': UID=132994 GUID=407c871b0ec1c562b51000002bad4ea1 is missing locally dsync(doug): Error: Couldn't delete mailbox INBOX: INBOX can't be deleted. Notice the UID and GUID are different from the first error. At this point I will identify 407c871b0ec1c562b51000002bad4ea1 in the source mailbox, and move it to another folder. More often than not that clears things up. The backup command I am using is dsync -u doug all backup maildir:/home/doug/.mailbkup/mailboxes My questions are: Is the "locally" referring to the source or the target of the backup? What might be causing this problem? What the heck is this guid: 1657786027.M158587P19048.maildev.domain.com" Note: The server is actually named mail.domain.com, not maildev.domain.com All file names in the backup maildir have mail.domain.com in them No files exist in the target maildir directory that begin with 1657786027* My original migration from mbox format to mdbox was tested and run on a server named maildev.domain.com. Is that why I am seeing a reference to maildev here? Is that name cached somewhere? Can it be corrected? Does it matter? Are there any options I should add to the dsync command to fix this problem? -- Doug

pigeonhole (manage)sieve directory permissions
by Peter Gervai 22 Sep '22

22 Sep '22

Hello, I've tried to find info (apart from looking at the sources) but it seems this isn't mentioned anywhere. The setting plugin { sieve = file:~/sievedir;active=~/.sievefilter } names the directory where the scripts are stored and the symlink pointing at one. Right now the sievedir seems to be created 0700 plus some - probably inherited - g+s. How could I change mode (to 02770 preferably)? Also the script files are created 0600 by managesieve which really would be nice to be 0660 instead. The main problem is that external programs shall stat() .sievefilter but they only share groups. Thanks, g

Outlook 365 MUA produces dovecot changing filename on some mailbox
by Emilio Augusto Lazo Zaia 21 Sep '22

21 Sep '22

Hello I have a setup on which dovecot is the server in a domain on which mailboxes are >20GB, some of them are 150GB or more. When reconfiguring _some_ mailboxes with Outlook 365 (configuring a previously used mailbox on a new PC), the process takes too long even if mail visibility on Outlook is 3 months. Inspecting at INBOX cur directory I did note that the 'ls' command shows the last file listed is a file from year 2020, 2019 or whatever not being the last received mail; that means the alphabetical ordering of 'ls' is showing past years after the last received mail, i.e. dovecot changed the epoch in filename. This only happens with Outlook. Following is an excerpt of ls: -rw-r--r-- 1 coord.ventas ventas 544765 sep 9 10:57 1662769412.M329925P1259441.xyz.com,S=544765,W=552045:2, -rw-r--r-- 1 coord.ventas ventas 163491 sep 5 12:14 1662769412.M74257P1259441.xyz.com,S=163491,W=165846:2,S -rw-r--r-- 1 coord.ventas ventas 3043536 sep 9 12:02 1662769412.M777084P1259441.xyz.com,S=3043536,W=3083246:2, -rw-r--r-- 1 coord.ventas ventas 161002 feb 27 2020 1662874173.M608062P1282222.xyz.com,S=161002,W=163373:2,S -rw-r--r-- 1 coord.ventas ventas 2230491 feb 27 2020 1662874176.M281294P1282222.xyz.com,S=2230491,W=2259506:2,S -rw-r--r-- 1 coord.ventas ventas 167925 feb 27 2020 1662874176.M741229P1282222.xyz.com,S=167925,W=170373:2,S The process of renaming files is continuous until all folder was reread and renamed every file on it. If I issue 'lsof' (with grep) I see the file that is being renamed passing through tmp/ directory and after that, the file is placed under new/ directory (I guess) and Outlook sees a new email to sync, making the sync process too long... mails that have been synced are resynced... Take a look at the timestamp on filenames: 1662769412 corresponds to "Fri Sep 9 20:23:32 -04 2022" and 1662874176 corresponds to Sun Sep 11 01:29:36 -04 2022 but mails were neither sent nor received on that dates. What is Outlook requesting imap server to do and how to avoid this? Thanks -- Emilio Augusto Lazo Zaia

doveadm-search finds emails, but IMAP search fails to find any
by Philip Warner 20 Sep '22

20 Sep '22

Using dovecot 2.3.7.2 with solr 8.11.2 when I do: doveadm search -u user mailbox INBOX subject "something" I get multiple mail ID's. When I start a manual IMAP session and login as that user, select INBOX, and try the command: . search subject "something" It returns zero mail ID's; this is consistent across all searches using IMAP - no results returned, no matter what I search for in IMAP. The dovecot -n command returns: # 2.3.7.2 (3c910f64b): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.5.7.2 () # OS: Linux 5.4.0-125-generic x86_64 Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS # Hostname: WITHELD mail_location = maildir:~/Mail mail_plugins = " fts fts_solr virtual" mail_privileged_group = mail 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 index ihave duplicate mime foreverypart extracttext namespace { location = virtual:~/Mail/virtual prefix = virtual. separator = . } 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 } mailbox virtual.All { comment = All my messages special_use = \All } prefix = } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } passdb { driver = pam } plugin { fts = solr fts_autoindex = yes fts_enforced = yes fts_solr = url=http://localhost:8983/solr/dovecot/ sieve = file:~/sieve;active=~/.dovecot.sieve } protocols = " imap lmtp sieve pop3 sieve" service imap { vsz_limit = 4 G } service index-worker { vsz_limit = 2 G } service indexer-worker { vsz_limit = 2 G } service lmtp { inet_listener lmtp { address = 127.0.0.1 port = 24 } } ssl_cert = </etc/letsencrypt/live/WITHELD/fullchain.pem ssl_client_ca_dir = /etc/ssl/certs ssl_dh = # hidden, use -P to show it ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } userdb { driver = passwd } protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = " fts fts_solr virtual sieve" postmaster_address = WITHELD } protocol lda { mail_plugins = " fts fts_solr virtual sieve" } protocol imap { mail_max_userip_connections = 40 } -

The only way that I found to get around is to unsubscribe the INBOX folder and subscribe again. Then the error is gone until I delete a bunch of messages again. The error only occurs if I delete the messages within short time or select multiple (about 20msg at once). If I delete them one-by-one always waiting for expunge message in dovecot logs to appear then I can delete as many as I want. I have not verified with other MUA but in Evolution I can reproduce the issue. Cheers and have a good one tobi

Thunderbird can't connect to Dovecot (bad certificate: SSL alert number 42)
by Meikel 19 Sep '22

19 Sep '22

Hi folks, on a Rocky Linux 8.6 based home server I run Dovecot with an account that I use as an archive. Archive means, that from different Thunderbird instances I connect to that Dovecot via IMAPS to move emails there, that I want to keep. Since some days from all Thunderbird instances I can no longer connect to that Dovecot account. In /var/log/maillog of the server I see Sep 14 06:39:54 server3 dovecot[2033173]: imap-login: Disconnected: Connection closed: SSL_accept() failed: error:14094412:SSL routines:ssl3_read_bytes:sslv3 alert bad certificate: SSL alert number 42 (no auth attempts in 0 secs): user=<>, rip=192.168.177.105, lip=192.168.177.13, TLS handshaking: SSL_accept() failed: error:14094412:SSL routines:ssl3_read_bytes:sslv3 alert bad certificate: SSL alert number 42, session=<dL1luJvokK3AqLFp> I found that Openssl alert number 42 might be a problem with the SSL certificate (which certificate?) but also might be an expired SSL certificate (which certificate?). As on the Dovecot installation I work with a self signed certificat. I created a new self signed certificate yesterday with an expiry not before year 2032. That did not help, I see the same messages when I try to connect from Thunderbird. Just to see how Thunderbird is involved in the problem I installed Claws-Mail. From Claws-Mail I do NOT have those problems, I can access to Dovecot via IMAPS as expected. I do not understand why all my Thunderbird installations can no longer access Dovecot via IMAPS. This worked fine for about 18 months. I can't prove but I think on beginning of month it worked fine. Something happened meanwhile. If there is a problem with an SSL certificate (bad certificate: SSL alert number 42), which certificate makes the problem? The certificate used by Dovecot or some certificate used in Thunderbird?

Bug report: TLS SNI for LDAP userdb/passdb
by Tobias Wolter 18 Sep '22

18 Sep '22

Cheers, Dovecot 2.3.4.1 (Debian stable) here, and the changelog does not offer any hope of salvation, so a bug report it is. The LDAP connections for userdb/passdb do not support SNI via TLS. Simple construct to reproduce this: 0.) Have a.pem with SAN `foo.example.com`, b.pem with `bar.example.com` 1.) Configure haproxy frontend with `bind *:636 ssl crt /foo/a.pem ssl crt /foo/b.pem` 2.) Try to use ldaps://bar.example.com/ in passdb, receive "auth: Error: LDAP: Can't connect to server: ldaps://bar.example.com" Expectation, of course, would be for this to work; most libraries should support it, it's probably just a matter of convincing the appropriate binding. Kind regards, -towo

Overquota flag and auth caching
by Christian Rößner 13 Sep '22

13 Sep '22

Hello, I like the over quota flag mechanism in Dovecot. I found out that I get in trouble if a user gets over quota and I have turned on auth caching, because the cache does not automatically invalidate a user while toggling the flag. The cache still serves the old state. The result is that mails are still accepted, even a user went over quota resulting in bounces. Workaround is to flush a user from inside the toggle script, which solves the bounce problem, but it prevents the user from getting under quota before the user is flushed from the cache again. What is the correct way to use the over quota flag and which solutions can be taken to invalidate the user? Is it possible to do this in a Lua user backend? Any other method?

real duplicates of some e-mails / dovecot-2.3.19
by Götz Reinicke 13 Sep '22

13 Sep '22

Hi, we have the issue, that some(!) e-mails we receive are duplicated when processed by dovecot and stored to the users inbox. The mails are binary identical, same message ID, same size etc. diff sees no difference …. For now we only see that it happens do small mails max. +- 5k in size. And in dose not happen for all mails, but some are spam, some are internal mails some are newsletter which are expected…. and it happens for different users. Dose anyone have/had a similar issue? Any suggestion or idea would be helpful. Thanks . Götz

Handling imap from outlook 365
by Todd Krein 12 Sep '22

12 Sep '22

I apologize if this has been answered before, but... Microsoft Outlook 365 doesn't allow a user to specify the account name for an imap acout, only the email address. Thus fred(a)smith.com<mailto:fred@smith.com> tries to log in as "fred(a)smith.com<mailto:fred@smith.com>" rather than "fred". Has anyone seen a way to fix this (Microsoft help boards are silent), perhaps by stripping the "@smith.com" during the logon procedure?

Outlook 365 (RE: dovecot Digest, Vol 233, Issue 20)
by Todd Krein 12 Sep '22

12 Sep '22

Emilio, Thanks for the suggestions, but neither of these worked for me. Manual setup on Outlook 365 (I think as opposed to Outlook 202x), doesn't let you set the account name directly. It's being "helpful." Interestingly enough, if you set up as POP3, it realizes the account name is wrong and lets you enter it once you try to sync. Not so with IMAP. I was able to create the new account on the control panel, but outlook365 ignores all those accounts.

Unclear how to get both user and domain quotas to work
by Hans van Zijst 10 Sep '22

10 Sep '22

Hi, First of all: my apologies for this long message. I'm trying to post all the information anybody could need to help me on my way. What I'm trying to make is an installation where both users and domains can have quotas. Ideally I would configure a quota for a domain and set a quota of 0 for all users within that domain, so that mail will be accepted up to the point where the domain quota is reached. Setting up user quota was fairly easy, there's lots of documentation around and examples to take inspiration from. Not so much for domain quota however, or I'm really bad at searching the Net. I'm running Debian Bullseye here: MariaDB 10.5.12 Dovecot 2.3.13 Postfixadmin 3.3.10 I want to use dictionaries in MySQL, because eventually this will be a platform with several Dovecot and Postfix servers. At this time I'm only running one Dovecot installation and a few Postfix servers (two for communication with the outside world and one to do the virus and spam scanning). My current setup for user quota is how Postfixadmin wants it: MariaDB [postfixadmin]> desc quota2; +----------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +----------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | username | varchar(100) | NO | PRI | NULL | | | bytes | bigint(20) | NO | | 0 | | | messages | int(11) | NO | | 0 | | +----------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ 3 rows in set (0.001 sec) In /etc/dovecot/conf.d/90-quota.conf I have this: plugin { quota = dict:User quota::proxy::sqlquota quota_rule = *:bytes=1024M quota_rule2 = Trash:bytes=+100M quota_vsizes = yes quota_status_success = DUNNO quota_status_nouser = DUNNO quota_status_overquota = "552 5.2.2 Mailbox is full" } dict { sqlquota = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext } The SQL-configuration /etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext is this: connect = host=... dbname=... user=... password=... map { pattern = priv/quota/storage table = quota2 username_field = username value_field = bytes } map { pattern = priv/quota/messages table = quota2 username_field = username value_field = messages } map { pattern = shared/expire/$user/$mailbox table = expires value_field = expire_stamp fields { username = $user mailbox = $mailbox } } I use LMTP to accept mail from Postfix; the quota-plugin is activated for LMTP, so every incoming mail should be counted. This works like a charm: if I don't configure a quota for a user, he gets the default 1GB, if I override it in Postfixadmin, then that's what he gets. I'm running quota-status on a TCP-port, so the gateway SMTP-servers can connect to Dovecot for a quotacheck to decide whether to accept or reject an incoming message. Again, this works flawlessly. I can't find any serious documentation about this mapping thing. In particular, what's with that "pattern"? All I can find in the documentation is: "The dict key must match exactly priv/quota/storage. The dict keys are hardcoded in the Dovecot code, so depending on what functionality you’re configuring you need to know the available dict keys used it." -- https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/dict/#dict-sql If anyone can point me at better documentation than the actual source code: please! I browsed through the quota-plugin source code, but I'm not a programmer and couldn't find what I thought I was looking for. That said, I'm not sure where I got the third "map" from, with the shared/expire pattern. I seem to have forgotten to document that bit of my journey. Now, domain quotas... I've tried all kinds of stuff, but at the moment I'm stuck with something that seems to almost work. I added a second quota root: plugin { quota2 = dict:Domain quota:%d:proxy::sqldomainquota quota2_rule = *:bytes=1024M quota2_status_success = DUNNO quota2_status_nouser = DUNNO quota2_status_overquota = "552 5.2.2 Domain quota exceeded" quota2_vsizes = yes } dict { sqldomainquota = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext } This dict refers to the same mapping as the one for user quotas, and I think that's the way it should be. Please correct me if I'm wrong. This creates a new user in the quota2 table, by the name of just the domain. Unfortunately, it simply fills it with the numbers from the first user it can find in that domain, not all users in that domain combined. What I think I should do, is change something in the dict so that it sums up all users in that domain, something like this: SELECT SUM(bytes) FROM quota2 WHERE username LIKE '%@domain'; Problem is that I can't find anything useful online with regards to this, I'm not even sure if I'm thinking in the right direction here. Any hints, suggestions or corrections? Or pointers to articles or documentation I might have missed? Kind regards, Hans

Old-stats plugin and fifo_listener permissions
by Grant Keller 10 Sep '22

10 Sep '22

Hello, Currently working on using the old-stats plugin in dovecot version 2.3.10.1. What file permissions are recommended for the old-stats-mail and old-stats-user sockets? I was seeing a lack of data from the doveadm oldstats dump command until I adjusted the default config to the following: service old-stats { fifo_listener old-stats-mail { group = mode = 0666 user = root } fifo_listener old-stats-user { group = mode = 0666 user = } } Not totally clear on which processes need read or write on those so any advice is appreciated.

Permission denied UNIX perms appear ok (ACL/MAC wrong?))
by Austin Witmer 07 Sep '22

07 Sep '22

Hello all! Recently I upgraded my mail server to Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and ever since then I am periodically getting some dovecot errors like the below in my mail log. As far as I can tell, my unix perms are just fine. What is ACL/MAC? Aug 20 14:41:58 mail dovecot: imap(user(a)domain.com)<56316><1NieGKPmuOdKwxVI>: Error: Mailbox INBOX: stat(/mnt/volume1/mailserver/plain/maildir/domain.com/user/dovecot.index.lo… failed: Permission denied (euid=1000(austin) egid=1000(austin) UNIX perms appear ok (ACL/MAC wrong?)) And here is the listing showing the permissions for that file. austin@mail:~$ ls -la /mnt/volume1/mailserver/plain/maildir/domain.com/user/dovecot.index.log -rwxrwxr-- 1 austin austin 15796 Aug 20 14:41 /mnt/volume1/mailserver/plain/maildir/domain.com/user/dovecot.index.log What in the world is causing these errors, and what can I do about them? Thanks in advance! Austin Witmer

Config file syntax: secrets from file in key=value
by Tobias Florek 06 Sep '22

06 Sep '22

Hi! I'd like to set up proxy authentication. This works fine, but I cannot get the passwords in to be read from file. Specifically I have this passdb block. passdb { driver = passwd-file mechanisms = plain scram-sha-256 default_fields = proxy=y host=dovecot-backend master=imapc-master-user proxy_mech=plain pass=</run/secrets/dovecot.imapc-master-user/password args = /run/secrets/dovecot.generated.app-passwd-file/passwd } This sets the password to the string /run/secrets/dovecot.imapc-master-user/password. I'd like the password to be set to the content of said file. Is it possible to get the password from a file or less desirable from the environment? Reading https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/config_file/ I assume it's not. Cheers, Tobias Florek

Bypass quota check
by Gabriele Nencioni 05 Sep '22

05 Sep '22

Hi all, I have the following quota configuration: lmtp_rcpt_check_quota = no mail_plugins = notify mail_log quota quota = dict:User quota::file:%h/dovecot-quota quota_exceeded_message = Quota exceeded quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+100M quota_warning = storage=100%% quota-warning -q 100 -n %n -d %d -e OverQuota quota_warning2 = storage=80%% quota-warning -q 80 -n %n -d %d -e FillQuota quota_warning3 = -storage=99%% quota-warning -q 99 -n %n -d %d -e InQuota quota_full_tempfail = yes service quota-warning { executable = script /usr/local/dovecot/quotamanager.sh unix_listener quota-warning { mail_plugins = notify mail_log quota imap_quota imap_sieve mail_plugins = notify mail_log quota sieve and the quota_rule (per-user) is retrieved by a specific SQL query in my userdb. I'm wondering if there is a way to send an email to an account even if it's in overquota? In other words: is there a way to bypass (or skip) the quota check, maybe setting a sort of ACL, for example if an email comes from a specific ip address? Thanks in advance Regards, -- Gabriele Nencioni

Thousands of SSL certificates stalls new logins during reload - problem with Dovecot config process
by Bartosz Kwitniewski 05 Sep '22

05 Sep '22

Hello, I'm running a dovecot 2.3.19.1 server that has around 6000 SSL certificates in separate config files, each containing: local_name "domain" { ssl_cert = ... ssl_key = ... } When new certificate is added, dovecot is reloaded (around 20 times a day). When dovecot is being reloaded, users are unable to log in for around 30 seconds. The main problem here seems to be that during reload, new config process is immediately designated as the one serving config requests and then it starts parsing config files, which takes around 20-30 seconds. If it would parse config files first, and only then would become a new process for serving config requests, then it would probably solve the problem. Or perhaps there is a better way to load new certificates or a way to optimize? There is another problem with config process and shutdown_clients=no. We do not want to disconnect users during reload, because e.g. Thunderbird displays a popup that server is shutting down. When there are long lasting IMAP connections from Google and other services that aggregate e-mail, old config process is not being killed. Because config process with ~6000 certificates is using ~1 GB of RAM, it can quickly rise to 20 GB of memory used.

Call procmail after sieve
by George Asenov 01 Sep '22

01 Sep '22

Hello, I'm trying to achieve the following scenario with dovecot + sieve + procmail. Dovecot is set as LDA in postfix (if this makes any difference) I need to set sieve that after it has executed all it's scripts (including before, ~/.sieve etc) and if keep is in still in effect to call procmail to also execute the custom user filters and then return (if it is not forwarded elsewhere or some) to dovecot for normal delivery. If you ask this I need this for backward compatibility. I now use procmail for local delivery,spam/virus filtering, and users have set a lot of custom filters/redirects. mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail-wrapper -o -a $DOMAIN -d $LOGNAME I want to migrate to dovecot as lda and sieve for filtering but to keep procmail working for a while. I have tried to follow (partially) this guide https://www.enricozini.org/blog/2022/debian/migrating-from-procmail-to-siev… but procmail fails to execute ########################## Aug 30 15:22:26 uk7 dovecot[112151]: lda(test-uk7.teststring567.tk)<112151><BlNhECIdDmMXtgEAsVjU+A>: Debug: program exec:/var/lib/dovecot/sieve-pipe/procmail: Establishing connection Aug 30 15:22:26 uk7 dovecot[112151]: lda(test-uk7.teststring567.tk)<112151><BlNhECIdDmMXtgEAsVjU+A>: Debug: program exec:/var/lib/dovecot/sieve-pipe/procmail: Forked child process Aug 30 15:22:26 uk7 dovecot[112151]: lda(test-uk7.teststring567.tk)<112151><BlNhECIdDmMXtgEAsVjU+A>: Debug: program exec:/var/lib/dovecot/sieve-pipe/procmail (112153): Connected to program Aug 30 15:22:26 uk7 dovecot[112151]: lda(test-uk7.teststring567.tk)<112151><BlNhECIdDmMXtgEAsVjU+A>: Debug: program exec:/var/lib/dovecot/sieve-pipe/procmail (112153): Finished streaming payload to program Aug 30 15:22:26 uk7 dovecot[112151]: lda(test-uk7.teststring567.tk)<112151><BlNhECIdDmMXtgEAsVjU+A>: Debug: program exec:/var/lib/dovecot/sieve-pipe/procmail (112153): Finished input to program Aug 30 15:22:26 uk7 dovecot[112151]: lda(test-uk7.teststring567.tk)<112151><BlNhECIdDmMXtgEAsVjU+A>: Debug: program exec:/var/lib/dovecot/sieve-pipe/procmail (112153): Disconnected Aug 30 15:22:26 uk7 dovecot[112151]: lda(test-uk7.teststring567.tk)<112151><BlNhECIdDmMXtgEAsVjU+A>: Debug: program exec:/var/lib/dovecot/sieve-pipe/procmail (112153): Waiting for program to finish after 0 msecs (timeout = 10000 msecs) Aug 30 15:22:26 uk7 dovecot[112153]: lda(test-uk7.teststring567.tk)<112151><BlNhECIdDmMXtgEAsVjU+A>: Fatal: execvp(/var/lib/dovecot/sieve-pipe/procmail) failed: Permission denied Aug 30 15:22:26 uk7 dovecot[112151]: lda(test-uk7.teststring567.tk)<112151><BlNhECIdDmMXtgEAsVjU+A>: Debug: program exec:/var/lib/dovecot/sieve-pipe/procmail (112153): Child process ended Aug 30 15:22:26 uk7 dovecot[112151]: lda(test-uk7.teststring567.tk)<112151><BlNhECIdDmMXtgEAsVjU+A>: program exec:/var/lib/dovecot/sieve-pipe/procmail (112153): Terminated with non-zero exit code 75 Aug 30 15:22:26 uk7 dovecot[112151]: lda(test-uk7.teststring567.tk)<112151><BlNhECIdDmMXtgEAsVjU+A>: Debug: program exec:/var/lib/dovecot/sieve-pipe/procmail (112153): Destroy Aug 30 15:22:26 uk7 dovecot[112151]: lda(test-uk7.teststring567.tk)<112151><BlNhECIdDmMXtgEAsVjU+A>: Error: sieve: failed to execute to program `procmail': refer to server log for more information.

Lazy Expunge - why oh why deprecating namespace storage for this
by Matt Bryant 01 Sep '22

01 Sep '22

Hi Dovecot, Noticed on your web site that you have marked lazy_expunge storage location to namespace as deprecated since v2.3.0 and suggest a single mailbox with acl is the way to go. This seems to be a backward step for those that make use of the alt storage facility. Is there anyway we can persuade you NOT to deprecate this - it still works atm Why ? Well scenario time .... Installations make use of alt-storage feature so that new messages can be stored along with indexes etc on faster storage, whilst offloading older less viewed mail to a different storage tier. With storage to namespace - that namespace can have a location set that separates it from the mailbox (maybe even on a 3rd tier of storage) BUT with the mailbox solution then any deleted mail will in fact return from the alternate storage to the primary storage, and then will need to have a job run to alt-move it back off the faster storage to sit with the older messages and also can no longer be a potential 3rd tier of storage. This seems crazy and in fact some of reason mdbox is avoided since purging an mdbox means that any messages on alt-storage gets pulled back to primary storage. Alternately are there plans to allow a mailbox to have a 'location' in which case the location of the expunge mailbox could be set differently ? rgds Matt

where to setup virtual_mailbox_maps
by frakass 31 Aug '22

31 Aug '22

Hello, I have a domain in virtual_mailbox_domains: aaa.com I have also the virtual_alias_domains which include: bbb.com I know how to forward x(a)bbb.com to y(a)aaa.com by setting up the file "virtual_alias_maps": x(a)bbb.com y(a)aaa.com (and run postmap after the changes.) But, how can I setup virtual_mailbox_maps (if I name this correctly)? for example, 111(a)aaa.com forwards to 222(a)aaa.com. Thank you.

I am using this file: dovecot-sql.conf.ext and in there I have a connect = "host=<dbserver> dbname=<dbname> user=<dbuser> password=<dbpass>" My <dbserver> was down and I lost mail access for a few days before I realized that there was an issue. How can I specify a backup server so that if my primary sql server goes down, a backup sql server will be queried? -- jack

Understanding Auth-Worker Logging
by dovecot＠ptld.com 29 Aug '22

29 Aug '22

Sometimes when auth-worker gets logged there is an extra 'field' combined with the username and IP inside the sql() section. dovecot[911]: auth-worker(8131): conn unix:auth-worker (pid=3870,uid=97): auth-worker<2>: sql(user(a)example.com,xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx,<8Q4ycCznAPdoiAwp>): Password mismatch (SHA1 of given password: 6ef33886cc5e17a60590cb4badac98d2960b6914) What is the "<8Q4ycCznAPdoiAwp>" and why is it logged only sometimes? Is there any documentation explaining what's inside of logs for dovecot?

Replication not working - GUIDs conflict - will be merged later
by Patrick Westenberg 28 Aug '22

28 Aug '22

Hi everyone, I have a weird problem with replication that I'm unable to solve. A new account is sychronized from an external provider via imapsync. The mails end up on my backend1. I see that the folder structure is immediately replicated to backend2. However, a lot of mails are missing and "doveadm replicator status" also states that something failed: priority fast sync full sync success sync failed mail(a)example.com none 00:02:36 00:39:47 - y There are no error log entries regarding this user at all. After some research I tried to start the replication manually with "doveadm -D backup -u mail(a)example.com -d tcp:x.y.z.11" and finally I got an error message: Jul 31 13:55:37 doveadm(mail(a)example.com)<11341><rm1YCblt5mJNLAAAJFg/Tg>: Debug: brain M: Mailbox INBOX: local=e74590221b6ce6620d29000024583f4e/0/1, remote=20a9ce2b1c6ce662244e0000baba0ddd/0/1: GUIDs conflict - will be merged later As a matter of fact, the mails in the inbox are the ones that are missing on backend2. I always end up with this error, no matter what I do: - I completely removed the folder structure on backend2. - I removed all database entries. - I removed this user from the replication, ran imapsync again followed by "doveadm -D backup ..." I also removed fts-flatcurve to rule this out as a cause of error. I have no idea what to do. This configuration worked for months. I got this error with 2.3.17.1 and 2.3.19.1 Any hints would be highly appreciated.

The first time when the sieve files and folders get created, the active symlink is created as a full absolute path .active_sieve -> /mnt/email/domain/user/_sieve/filters.sieve After that, if you disable and enable the rule set the symlink gets recreated as relative .active_sieve -> filters.sieve How can i have the symlink always created as a relative path even on first time creation? Having a full absolute path over a mounted NSF is fragile.

Is this safe?
by Jaroslaw Rafa 25 Aug '22

Hello, I asked about this a few days ago, but since nobody answered in that thread, I'd like to bring it up again as a separate thread. Maybe somebody answers... I have written a policy service for Postfix that checks whether the connecting IP address has currently an IMAP session open. For this, it needs to access the socket /var/run/dovecot/anvil. But by default, this socket is accessible only for root, and I obviously DON'T want my service to run as root: srw------- 1 root root 0 May 22 2020 /var/run/dovecot/anvil By modifying Dovecot configuration I was able to chnge the permissions on that socket to: srw-rw---- 1 root dovecot 0 Aug 21 20:47 /var/run/dovecot/anvil Then my service can run under the user "dovecot" and access the socket. Here's my question: did I create any security risk by changing the socket permissions like above and running my service under "dovecot" user? Or will it be better that I create a special user dedicated only for this service and run the service under that user? -- Regards, Jaroslaw Rafa raj(a)rafa.eu.org -- "In a million years, when kids go to school, they're gonna know: once there was a Hushpuppy, and she lived with her daddy in the Bathtub."

Hi If a sieve filter contains a rule if header :regex ["From"] ["@xxx.com","@yyy.pt"] { fileinto :create "ac"; } The mail should be copied to the folder ac and then proceed to other rules that a user might have or I understood the fileinto wrong? Using dovecot-pigeonhole-2.2.36-8.el7.x86_64

namespace directives from userdb not being applied
by Brendan Braybrook 24 Aug '22

24 Aug '22

hi all, i'm having a strange issue. i have a few dovecot instances running: 1- debian 10 with debian's dovecot-core 1:2.3.4.1-5+deb10u5 2- debian 10 with debian's dovecot-core 1:2.3.4.1-5+deb10u6 3- debian 11 with dovecot's dovecot-core 2:2.3.19.1-2+debian11 for all these, i've just been testing with a static userdb (ignore if the login user was different; they all had the same userdb data.. various different passdb configs were tried (none do any userdb prefetching): userdb { driver = static args = mail=maildir:/mail/mailstore03/492/177/b@b.com/:INDEX=/mail/index03/492/177/b@b.com/ home=/mail/mailstore03/492/177/b(a)b.com/ namespace=inbox,share namespace/inbox/separator=/ namespace/share/separator=/ namespace/share/prefix=boop/ } instance #2 and #3 don't seem to pass all the namespace directives i'm passing through to the imap process. (i originally found it happening with a lua userdb script then noticed it with a dict userdb, but the simpler static userdb still shows it happening so i don't think it's related to the different userdb mechanisms themselves) debug looks like: auth: Debug: master userdb out: USER 3466461185 b(a)b.com mail=maildir:/mail/mailstore03/492/177/b@b.com/:INDEX=/mail/index03/492/177/b@b.com/ home=/mail/mailstore03/492/177/b(a)b.com/ namespace=inbox,share namespace/inbox/separator=/ namespace/share/separator=/ namespace/share/prefix=boop/ auth_mech=PLAIN auth_token=bcdb366d56f4fceee83775a1b28ca89ccdf881fd script-login(b(a)b.com)<56895><>: Debug: Added userdb setting: mail=maildir:/mail/mailstore03/492/177/b@b.com/:INDEX=/mail/index03/492/177/b@b.com/ script-login(b(a)b.com)<56895><>: Debug: Added userdb setting: namespace=inbox,share script-login(b(a)b.com)<56895><>: Debug: Added userdb setting: namespace/inbox/separator=/ script-login(b(a)b.com)<56895><>: Debug: Added userdb setting: namespace/share/prefix=boop/ script-login(b(a)b.com)<56895><>: Debug: Added userdb setting: namespace/share/separator=/ imap(b(a)b.com)<56894><9mFyornjaMcKyAUI>: Debug: Added userdb setting: mail=maildir:/mail/mailstore03/492/177/b@b.com/:INDEX=/mail/index03/492/177/b@b.com/ imap(b(a)b.com)<56894><9mFyornjaMcKyAUI>: Debug: Added userdb setting: namespace=inbox,share imap(b(a)b.com)<56894><9mFyornjaMcKyAUI>: Debug: Namespace inbox: type=private, prefix=, sep=, inbox=yes, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes location=maildir:/mail/mailstore03/492/177/b@b.com/:INDEX=/mail/index03/492/177/b@b.com/ imap(b(a)b.com)<56894><9mFyornjaMcKyAUI>: Debug: Namespace : type=private, prefix=, sep=, inbox=no, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes location=maildir:/mail/mailstore03/492/177/b@b.com/:INDEX=/mail/index03/492/177/b@b.com/ the script-login task notes that these userdb settings are being added: namespace=inbox,share namespace/inbox/separator=/ namespace/share/prefix=boop/ namespace/share/separator=/ but the imap task only notes one: namespace=inbox,share both of these two instances end up getting an error because the imap task didn't pick up the prefix: Error: namespace configuration error: Duplicate namespace prefix: "" instance #1 behaves differently. it's script-login task debug is the same, but the imap debug notes: imap(bigip-imap(a)nagios.tucows.com)<2146><s3ctO7njd6cKBS39>: Debug: Added userdb setting: mail=maildir:/mail/mailstore03/492/177/b@b.com/:INDEX=/mail/index03/492/177/b@b.com/ imap(bigip-imap(a)nagios.tucows.com)<2146><s3ctO7njd6cKBS39>: Debug: Added userdb setting: namespace=inbox,share imap(bigip-imap(a)nagios.tucows.com)<2146><s3ctO7njd6cKBS39>: Debug: Added userdb setting: namespace/inbox/separator=/ imap(bigip-imap(a)nagios.tucows.com)<2146><s3ctO7njd6cKBS39>: Debug: tc_empty_notify_plugin init imap(bigip-imap(a)nagios.tucows.com)<2146><s3ctO7njd6cKBS39>: Debug: Namespace inbox: type=private, prefix=, sep=/, inbox=yes, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes location=maildir:/mail/mailstore03/492/177/b@b.com/:INDEX=/mail/index03/492/177/b@b.com/ imap(bigip-imap(a)nagios.tucows.com)<2146><s3ctO7njd6cKBS39>: Debug: Namespace : type=private, prefix=, sep=, inbox=no, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes location=maildir:/mail/mailstore03/492/177/b@b.com/:INDEX=/mail/index03/492/177/b@b.com/ on this one, the imap task notes that it added ALL the namespace directives, and consequently doesn't have any namespace prefix collisions. the difference between 1:2.3.4.1-5+deb10u5 and 1:2.3.4.1-5+deb10u6 doesn't seem that great, and the bug tracker for it doesn't indicate anything around userdb would be patched (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=970386) but the problem still seems to exist in 2.3.19 - can anyone else see the same thing happening with the current builds? thanks! -brendan

Dovecot ACLs and XOAUTH2
by Felix Auringer 23 Aug '22

23 Aug '22

Hi, we're trying to set up an IMAP server using Dovecot as part of a new email system in a middle-sized company (around 150 employees). We have a keycloak identity server that is used for all logins and we would also like to use it for the new email system so that the non-technical employees (the majority) will have no issues using it. It's very nice that XOAUTH2 is already included in Dovecot, it works very well with our Roundcube web client. However, it seems that other clients like Thunderbird or Android Apps like FairEmail are not easy to set up as they have their XOAUTH providers hardcoded somewhere (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1602166) Are you aware of any solution to integrate a dovecot server using XOAUTH2 into local clients (like Thunderbird)? We are currently trying to do it with passwords that can be set in Keycloak only for the purpose of email that can then be used to receive a valid token via a direct access grant but it's not a really nice solution as it introduces an additional password. Additionally, we would like to have all permission-related information saved in our identity server. For email, this includes shared mailboxes that a user is allowed to access. The ACL plugin that is used for shared mailboxes currently reads the permissions from disk which is not really feasible if the user base is large and setting these permissions should happen automatically. We are thinking the best way to do this is to encode the user's permissions in the token that dovecot receives in the login process. But as the token is only available in the authentication process and it does not seem to be intended to return such information from the password database (https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/authentication/password_databa…) we are unsure on how to process these information from the token. We did not find any plugin hooks in the authentication processes and the normal plugin hooks do not have access to information from the token anymore. What do you think is the best way to do this? We would be okay modifying some dovecot source code and contributing it back if desired.

Dict Redis error: Unsupported operation (dict does not support this feature)
by Tomas Dolezal 23 Aug '22

23 Aug '22

Hi all, when we try to delete any folder from Trash folder, for exmaple Trash.Test, Thunderbird and RoundCube IMAP clients show this error: DELETE: Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. [2022-08-22 23:03:00] (0.001 + 0.000 secs). And deleted folder is still in Trash. This error is in the maillog: Aug 22 22:36:12 mail1 dovecot[1012]: imap(test(a)test.tld)<3355><KhIoINrmh8tecCPV>: Error: Mailbox Trash.Test: dict_iterate(priv/70555f26b6e803632f0d0000c2736b7f/) failed: Unsupported operation (dict does not support this feature) We use Redis as Dovecot dict and the command "redis-cli monitor" shows queries MULTI and DISCARD. I have tried to find any simillar problem at Google but without success. The error message "Unsupported operation (dict does not support this feature)" has not found. And in the source dict-fail.c there are many situations with this error string. Anybody can help me?

Should one prevent reconnection before expunge?
by Jack Cecil 22 Aug '22

22 Aug '22

Hello. From my understanding the 'autoexpunge' feature activates on user disconnect. But could you help me understand the 'doveadm expunge' feature better? If a Maildir has 20 thousand messages and user is reading it over IMAP I have a suspicion it is not a good idea to be rewriting the dovecot cache at the same time. Should I temporarily prevent login (e.g. with passwd-file deny) and then kick them before the expunge? Thank you.

Get a list of currently active IMAP connections?
by Jaroslaw Rafa 22 Aug '22

22 Aug '22

Hello Dovecot community, I have a question: is it possible to programmatically get from Dovecot a list of currently active IMAP sessions (with IP addresses)? Via a plugin or something? Or just check if there is an IMAP session currently open from a particular IP address, with true/false type answer? I'm planning to implement a policy service for *Postfix* that will revive the old "POP before SMTP" authorization concept (only it will be "IMAP before SMTP" this time). This policy service will reject connections to mail submission ports (465, 587) - without even going to SMTP AUTH phase - unless the connecting IP address has currently an IMAP session open to Dovecot, to mitigate SMTP AUTH attacks. But for this I need some way to check from within this policy service if the particular IP address has a connection open or not. It could be of course obtained by scanning Dovecot logs, but this involves quite a large overhead. Therefore I'm looking for the way to get this information directly from Dovecot's current state. Can you advise me of any way to do this? Or maybe someone has already written such a piece of software and it is available somewhere on the Net? -- Regards, Jaroslaw Rafa raj(a)rafa.eu.org -- "In a million years, when kids go to school, they're gonna know: once there was a Hushpuppy, and she lived with her daddy in the Bathtub."

Adding new server (POP3 only)
by Antonino Esposito 21 Aug '22

21 Aug '22

Good morning, we're facing a spike in users activation and we've decided to add another server for POP3 only. Since our dovecot is currently backed by NFS, i'm under the impression we just need to add a new instance listening for POP3, backed by the same NFS. However, i'm afraid the existing POP3 users will download the messages once again, due to the fact the responding server will be on a different IP address, even if the hostname will be exactly the same. Am i right in this assumption? Have you any advice for me? Thanks Antonino

Re: dovecot/config processes open, and consuming all memory

From: Aki Tuomi <aki.tuomi(a)open-xchange.com> > The *default* configuration for service config is usually just fine. > Is there some reason you decided to modify it in first place? Are you asking me, or the OP? I guess the blunt answer is ignorance on my part. However, I pointed out that the docs about this setting is somewhat misleading -- it's used to limit any potential memory leaks for long-lived processes by ensuring it terminates periodically. I read this and thought to myself "this is a good thing to do", without realizing that it would have the opposite effect as lingering clients could delay service termination indefinitely. The side effect is many new processes are spawned to handle new clients, and eventually the maximum process limit is reached, and chaos ensues. So for services like imap-login and others that can have lingering clients, the only sensible values for service_limit is {0,1}. If you set service_limit>1, the asymptotic behaviour is like service_limit=1, and process_limit would have to be adjusted accordingly. The docs can explain this rather wordy and subtle explanation of service_limit, or service_limit can be constrained to values {0,1} so that others don't blunder along the same path I did.

My description of problem https://www.mail-archive.com/dovecot%40dovecot.org/msg85850.html Your situation is slgihtly different (service not imap_login, and idle_kill timeout should reduce lingering processes that caused my problem), but try setting service_limit to either 0 or 1 and see if your problem goes away, or gets worse. You can also see how many file descriptors are being held by the config process, and see the behaviour over time (e.g. monitor /proc/{pid}/fd/*); maybe that will give you a clue as to what the config process is doing.

Slow IMAP SORT
by Ewald Dieterich 16 Aug '22

16 Aug '22

The following IMAP SORT with 2 sort criteria is very slow on an mdbox mailbox with lots of mails (more than 10,000) and an empty cache: . SORT (ARRIVAL DATE) UTF-8 ALL Each mail is opened when the SORT is executed, which is slow, given the number of mails in the mailbox. Debug: Mailbox INBOX: UID 1003: Opened mail because: header stream <repeated for each mail> Repeating the SORT opens all mails again and again: Debug: Mailbox INBOX: UID 1003: Opened mail because: header stream <repeated for each mail> If I just sort by ARRIVAL, the SORT is fast and I don't see any "Opened mail because" messages in the debug log. . SORT (ARRIVAL) UTF-8 ALL If I just sort by DATE, the first SORT is slow. . SORT (DATE) UTF-8 ALL The debug log looks like this: Debug: Mailbox INBOX: UID 1003: Opened mail because: header Date (Mail has other cached fields, reset_id=1633683216) <repeated for each mail> This fills the cache and if I sort by DATE again, the SORT is fast and I don't get any more "Opened mail because" messages in the debug log. If I now repeat "SORT (ARRIVAL DATE)", the SORT is fast, the mails are not opened. If I clear the cache, "SORT (ARRIVAL DATE)" goes back to being slow, not filling the cache. This doesn't seem right. "SORT (ARRIVAL DATE)" should also fill the cache to execute repeated SORTS faster, right?

convert mdbox to maildir
by lutz.niederer＠gmx.net 14 Aug '22

14 Aug '22

Hi! We need to move all users from one (pretty old) installation of dovecot to a new one. The old one uses mdbox for users' mailboxes and maildir for shared/public mailboxes. The new one must be maildir only. I believe that I can just copy the shared/public maildir structure to the new installation without problems. Am I right? Do I have to expect any trouble? (Set owner, permissions etc...) The real problem is that we must not use the running, old dovecot installation. So we are not able to connect to the old server, pull all folders and mails and create a new maildir structure. Currently, we can't do anything against it. What we get are the users' mdbox files. Is there any way to convert mdbox files and structures to maildir directly from filesystem? Or do we have to build a copy of the old machine (dovecot only, or -maybe better- a vm) and then use doveadm backup? Or is it ok to just set up the completely new installation, set mail_location to where the new Maildirs will be, like maildir:~/Maildir and then run something like doveadm backup mdbox:/tmp/$user/mdbox -u $user? Will this transfer all mails and folders or do we have to keep an eye on some specific things? I thank you very much and cheers! -lutzn

Submission auth gssapi: line too long

Hey guys. Dovecot is complaining about a "Line too long" when the clients send the AUTH command with GSSAPI authentication. Known bug? # dovecot --version 2.3.19.1 (9b53102964) This is right after the EHLO command (which is after STARTTLS): [1]: No more commands pending [1]: Sending replies [1]: No more commands pending [1]: Client sent invalid command: Command line is too long [1]: command [unknown]: Invalid command [1]: command [unknown]: 500 reply: Submitted [1]: command [unknown]: Replied [1]: command [unknown]: Ready to reply [1]: Trigger output [1]: Sending replies [1]: command [unknown]: Next to reply [1]: command [unknown]: Completed [1]: command [unknown]: 500 reply: Sent: 500 5.5.2 Line too long [1]: command [unknown]: Finished [1]: command [unknown]: Destroy [1]: command [unknown]: 500 reply: Destroy [1]: Trigger output

mdbox: purge only if it's worthwhile
by Sven Strickroth 12 Aug '22

12 Aug '22

Hi, with the mdbox storage one needs to regularly run purge to really clean up deleted mails from the storage. Running purge can be an IO intensive task as the files are append-only and even if in a 10 MB mdbox file only a small mail is deleted all other mails need to be copied to a new file. Therefore, I wonder whether there is the option to apply a threshold before a mdbox file is cleaned up, e.g. only purge an old mail if this affects > 10% of the mdbox filesize or if at least X bytes will be freed in an mdbox file. Is this possible ATM? Otherwise this can be seen as a feature request. Best, Sven PS: From the docs it's unclear to me how the mdbox rotating algorithm works. Is only to the latest mdbox file appended or it is possible that a small mail might be appended to an older mdbox file?

pre-define or alter list of IMAP keywords
by spi 11 Aug '22

11 Aug '22

I am using Dovecot 2.3.4.1 with sdbox and mostly Thunderbird on Linux and FairEmail on Android as IMAP clients. I use a defined set of IMAP keywords to allow different users to mark and filter their mails based on keywords. That works pretty well but I stumble across an issue from time to time: In TB I can pre-define a list of keywords which the user can choose one from. FairEmail shows all those keywords Dovecot presents - there is nothing like the list in TB. Issue 1: If there are no mails flagged in a folder, Dovecot doesn't present any keywords and therefore FairEmail shows none - the user has to remember and type in the correct keyword. Issue 2: After some time FairEmail shows a huge list of keywords for the INBOX, even keywords not in use for quite some time. To get rid of these keywords I deleted the index files on Dovecot (which with sdbox are not meant to be deleted?). It seems, Dovecot caches the keywords in the index files. Question: 1) Is there a way on Dovecot to define a list of keywords Dovecot presents to the IMAP clients? 2) If not, is there a nicer way to clean the keyword lists from old entries not assigned to any mail in that folder? -- Cheers spi

Sieve rule for whitelisting domains after spam processing
by Nicolae Iuoras 10 Aug '22

10 Aug '22

Hello, My mail server has a global Sieve rule defined in sieve_before to file messages classified as spam by spamassassin into the Spam folder: require ["regex", "fileinto", "imap4flags"]; if allof (header :regex "X-Spam-Status" "^Yes") { fileinto "Spam"; } This works great, except I'd like the ability to whitelist certain senders or domains whose emails end up in Spam, usually due to a misconfigured SPF DNS TXT record or something like that. I use Roundcube as my Webmail client, so the easiest way to whitelist would be to create a rule for each domain directly in Roundcube using its built-in Sieve integration to move legitimate messages out of the Spam folder. I already have several rules set up to flag and sort non-spam messages, and they're working fine. I therefore tried adding a simple rule to move Spam into the Inbox: # rule:[Not Spam] if allof (header :contains "from" "user(a)good-domain.com") { fileinto "INBOX"; } However, the above rule does not work as I expected. When I receive an email from good-domain.com that's classified as Spam by spamassassin, the global rule sends it to the Spam folder and it is not re-filed into the Inbox. The second rule doesn't seem to do anything. I'm probably doing something simple wrong, but I can't figure out what (I'm a Sieve newb). Any suggestions please? Thanks, Nick

Submission Service Copy To Sent
by Asai 10 Aug '22

10 Aug '22

Greetings, We've had a longstanding problem with emails not being copied to the Sent folder that seems to be a bug with various email clients (Thunderbird, TypeApp.) I know that Dovecot has the option to use the Submission service to copy emails to Sent without using SMTP to do this. Would this solve the problem we've seen over the years of emails not being copied to the Sent folder on various clients under certain (unknown) conditions? Thanks for your insight here. Asai

Re: how to setup dovecot to accept client certificates signed with a private CA when the server certificate is signed by a public CA
by jean-christophe manciot 09 Aug '22

@Marc@f1-outsourcing.eu No, the private CA certificate was not present there as I thought that its presence in the bundle pointed to by <ssl_ca> was enough.

how to setup dovecot to accept client certificates signed with a private CA when the server certificate is signed by a public CA
by jean-christophe manciot 08 Aug '22

08 Aug '22

Hi everyone, I'm trying to setup dovecot to accept only client certificates created with a private CA: auth_ssl_require_client_cert = yes ssl_verify_client_cert = yes ssl_ca = </etc/ssl/CA_Certificate_CRL_bundle.pem At the same time, dovecot is setup with an SSL certificate created by a public CA (let's encrypt): ssl = required ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/fullchain.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/key.pem When I try to connect to the server with a client (evolution), I get a connection error: "Client did not present valid SSL certificate" except that it is valid. As you probably already know, let's encrypt does not create client certificates. It seems that using a different CA for client certificates and for the server certificate is unsupported. Am I missing something? -- Jean-Christophe

rawlog data in a lua script
by michael.zork＠feierfighter.de 08 Aug '22

08 Aug '22

Hi, I'm searching for a possibility to have the rawlog feature in lua, which would be much easier for processing. Currently Dovecot, when activating rawlog for a user, writes everything to disk (which creates I/O), and I have to somehow read it from there. That's a bit complicated, because I have to get notified via inotify or similar when there are new files created, and then I have to start a "tail" or "epoll" mechanism on the files to get the contents in more or less real time (IMAP sessions can be multiple hours or days). It would be much easier to hook to the "raw request and response events" inside Dovecot and have the rawlog-data in a lua script, where I can prepare it and send it to another maschine for monitoring/collection/analysis/statistics or similar, for example via HTTP. Having the rawlog data available in lua would make things a lot easier. Is there any possibility at the moment to create a lua script and "hook" to those "request and response events"? If not, would it be possible to add that feature in the future? Kind regards Michael

variable %w recursive expanding
by Franz Beslmeisl 02 Aug '22

02 Aug '22

In order to change the password scheme I wrote a script named updateproxy that needs the plain text password from the user. To get that I use the line password_query = SELECT username as user, password, \ '%w' as userdb_plain_pass FROM auth_user WHERE username='%n' This works nicely with almost all passwords but not with this one 1234567%&/abcd the error message being dovecot: Failed to expand plugin setting plain_pass = '1234567%&/abcd': Unknown variable '%&' It seems to me that dovecot tries to do another level of variable evaluation upon the **value** of the already evaluated variable. So I searched for ways to escape problematic characters like % and changed my line to password_query = SELECT username as user, password, \ '%E{w}' as userdb_plain_pass FROM auth_user WHERE username='%n' but this produces problems with password values containing quotes. So how can I get a plain text password containing any ascii char (or even better any utf-8 char) safely to my script?

Dovecot-lda mysql look ups.
by Simon B 02 Aug '22

02 Aug '22

Hallo again. Dovecot is not doing a look up for the MailDirLoc in the mysql database after postfix hands over the mail to dovecot-lda. Postfix knows the right location # postmap -q user(a)domain.net mysql:/etc/postfix/Mail-Mailbox.cf domain.com/user/ But apparently this has not worked as intended since I moved from courier to dovecot some years back. The minute I change /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf postfix starts spitting SASL authentication errors. How can I make Dovecot-LDA query the DB in that file for the delivery location (userdb_mail)? Grateful for any help :) Regards Simon

With creating x.y.z you really create only folder z and a folder hirarchy x.y, in which you can not store emails (nor have any access). You have to create x and x.y, in order to get complete folders and subfolders usable for emails and be able to delete them :-) Kind regards, Christian Mack -- Christian Mack Universität Konstanz Kommunikations-, Informations-, Medienzentrum (KIM) Abteilung IT-Dienste Forschung, Lehre, Infrastruktur 78457 Konstanz +49 7531 88-4416

large search indexer tasks, submitted to flatcurve+tika+tesseract backend for attachment scanning, timeout even with "fts_index_timeout = 0"; how to increase/remove timeouts?
by PGNet Dev 28 Jul '22

28 Jul '22

i'm running dovecot 2.3.19.1 search indexing is enabled, via fts_flatcurve (dovecot23_fts_flatcurve) attachment processing is via fts_tika, with tika-server-standard-2.4.2 backend & tesseract5 OCR i'm working getting this optimized on a smaller, 4-core server that opt includes capping tesseract @ single-thread, Environment=OMP_THREAD_LIMIT=1 still, some attachments are OCR-scanned, and can take some time. when i exec large reindex jobs, i get occassional timeout errors on dovecot's indexer-worker connection to tiks backend, e.g., 2022-07-23 09:54:43 indexer-worker(postmaster(a)example.com)<DIcjEWb922JhXAAA+IOfAw>: Error: fts_tika: PUT http://127.0.0.1:9998/tika/ failed: Request timed out (Request queued 61.031 secs ago, 1 send attempts in 60.103 secs, 60.080 in http ioloop, 0.000 in other ioloops, connected 60.103 secs ago) 2022-07-23 09:54:43 indexer-worker(postmaster(a)example.com)<DIcjEWb922JhXAAA+IOfAw>: Error: Mailbox Sent: Precache for UID=90782 failed: Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. [2022-07-23 09:54:43] (attempted to index 2 messages between UIDs 90778..90782) i don't see any fts timeout info @ https://wiki.dovecot.org/Timeouts here https://doc.dovecot.org/settings/plugin/fts-plugin/#plugin_setting-fts-fts_… " fts_index_timeout Default: 0 Values: Unsigned integer When the full text search backend detects that the index isn’t up-to-date, the indexer is told to index the messages and is given this much time to do so. If this time limit is reached, an error is returned, indicating that the search timed out during waiting for the indexing to complete: NO [INUSE] Timeout while waiting for indexing to finish A value of 0 means no timeout. " double-checking my config, /usr/sbin/dovecot -c /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf -n submission_relay_connect_timeout = 10 secs submission_timeout = 10 secs there's no tika/fts timeout override, so should be "0" by default. i.e., no timeout @ Patch: enhancements for solr/tika integration https://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2022-January/123828.html a patch was proposed for similar issue with fts-solr indexer (not sure if it's in current release AND effective for my config), but that *limits* the size of attachments submitted. i _do_ want to index all/large attachments, so, iiuc, need to ensure no, or longer, timeout. where do I set that timeout to not fail, as above, on large index tasks?

Dear List, Please pardon me if this has been already discussed before. I couldn't find the matter with a quick search. On a new standard Ubuntu 22.04 LTS installation Dovecot's "configure && make" runs through but "make check" fails. Is dovecot-2.3.19.1 not yet compatible with openSSL 3.0.2 (openssl 3.0.2-0ubuntu1.6) or is this just happening here?

How to correctly use readonly=yes with the sqlite driver?
by oddlama 24 Jul '22

24 Jul '22

Hi! I want to use a sqlite database in readonly mode, which I found mentionend in the docs [1]. Unfortunately no examples were given, so I tried to infer the usage by inspecting core/driver-sqlite.c. If I interpret it correctly, this should have worked: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext: driver = sqlite connect = readonly=yes /var/vmail/virtual.sqlite user_query = #... Unfortunately, dovecot tries to open a file named "readonly=yes /var/vmail/virtual.sqlite" instead. I have no idea why the option is not parsed. Is this a bug or am I using the feature incorrectly? Best regards, oddlama [1]: https://doc.dovecot.org/settings/plugin/sql-sqlite/

Dovecot sync stopped working since 2.3.18-r1 when .maildir has 700 permissions
by Martin Kuchta 23 Jul '22

Hello, Since upgrading to dovecot 2.3.18-r1 my sync setup using replicator plugin stopped working. It seems there is a problem accessing a .maildir with 700 permissions, only accessible by the owner.

Tools to get a report of which folders have new mail?
by Steve Litt 20 Jul '22

20 Jul '22

Hi all, I use a Dovecot IMAP server on my Linux desktop computer, and I'm pretty good at writing shellscripts. Is there any way I could use doveadm or other tools to create a report that shows all my folders in a hierarchy? Also, is there a way to show only those with new mail?

Tracing Sieve actions
by Doug Hardie 20 Jul '22

20 Jul '22

I encountered an interesting problem that one originator was being dumped into the Deleted file directly by my sieve. The sieve file was quite large and it was not obvious which entry was causing the issue. I recall there was a way to get sieve-test to show what is going on and which lines it used, but I could not replicate it tonight for anything. I ended up having to change all the deliver to the Deleted files to something else and test one at a time to find the offending entry. It took a long time. How do you get sieve-test to show the actual path it took through the file? -- Doug

Interfacing mutt with Dovecott
by Steve Litt 19 Jul '22

19 Jul '22

Hi all, All my email for the past 20 years is held on a Dovecot IMAP server (version 2.3.19.1 (9b53102964)) on my desktop. I've been using Claws-Mail but want to switch to Mutt. In the past I've tried this, but Mutt was unreliable in reading folders from my local Dovecot server. It didn't see a lot of the folders. I know some people have been very successful running Mutt to access an IMAP server, so it appears to be possible. How should I run Mutt to access my Dovecot? Also, in the past I've used Claws-Mail to admin my Dovecot folders (make new folders, move folders, etc). I've heard there are one or more Dovecot provided tools to do this kind of admin. What are the names of those tools? Thanks, SteveT Steve Litt Summer 2022 featured book: Thriving in Tough Times http://www.troubleshooters.com/bookstore/thrive.htm

Deleting "folders only" folder doesn't actually delete
by Alex 19 Jul '22

19 Jul '22

Hi, I'm using dovecot-2.3.17.1-1.fc34.x86_64 on fedora34 and Thunderbird 91 on fedora35. When creating a folder of type "folders only" in Thunderbird, then trying to delete it, it doesn't actually delete it from the filesystem. Is this a permissions problem? Or perhaps a Thunderbird problem? I don't see any messages in the logs that would indicate some type of failed attempt to delete. How do I troubleshoot this? Thanks, Alex

dovecot 2.3.19.1 + tika-server 2.4.1 failed attachment scanning -- ERROR: 'corrupt stream'?
by PGNet Dev 15 Jul '22

i'm running dovecot 2.3.19.1 + fts_tika for attachment scanning, with tika-server 2.4.1 submitting a PDF attachment DIRECTLY to tika, via curl, there's no issue -- scan's OK on mail receipt in dovecot, the attachment is submitted to tika via fts, but scanning fails with a 'corrupt stream' ERROR. i've posted the issue, with details here, @ tika ML, https://lists.apache.org/thread/pztsq8tb8xqz3s4kmjpnt9p3zt07y05k where it's suggested the message may be getting truncated since direct-via-curl doesn't truncate, it seems that the submission process -- via fts plugin -- is a possiblity. can anyone confirm PDF attachment scan in a similar config, with latest versions? or suggest what diagnostic to use to dig for further, relevant troubleshooting info in dovecot+fts?

Is multi factor authentication practical/feasible?
by Steve Dondley 14 Jul '22

14 Jul '22

I have a small client whose insurance company insists they have MFA for their email to be covered under some kind of data protection policy. Currently I have the client set up on a Debian box for the email server coupled with roundcube for webmail. Most the users just use roundcube but some also use their mobile devices to check email. Maybe one person uses outlook. There’s about 5 to 10 users total. I know roundcube offers a MFA plugin. But I don’t have the foggiest idea how of an iPhone, Android device, or Outlook could all be set up to work with MFA with a standard dovecot/postfix setup. Are there any practical solutions for easily implementing MFA that could work across multiple devices?

Thunderbird / Copy to Send folder times out
by Paul Kudla (SCOM.CA Internet Services Inc.) 14 Jul '22

I know this has been asked before in both Dovecot & Thunderbird Forums (i will posting this info there as well) It seems every once in a while that copy to sent folder timeout occurs and you have to hit retry a few time for it to complete I know this is a network issue (ie network speed, congestion etc does cause an issue) That being said is there an imap timeout variable that would addres this issue and or does anyone know about a thunderbird variable I have been unable to locate anything specific to this issue and am aware that we probably need to patch both sides? ideas anyone ?? -- Happy Thursday !!!

Having an issue migrating mailboxes with the doveadm backup tool...
by Tom Spettigue 14 Jul '22

14 Jul '22

Hey all. We've got some users that live on our primary email server (which lives in our internal network) that we need to migrate to a second email server (which lives in our DMZ). Both servers serve our domain, example.com, but our first email server runs UW-IMAP, while our newer second server is running dovecot. We need to get these users cleanly migrated over, with all of their emails, and we're trying to do so with the doveadm backup tool - figuring that it will probably "do" Dovecot better than a generic IMAP to IMAP tool. So far, no dice - we get the following error message: Jul 13 16:00:00 doveadm(user(a)example.com): Fatal: All your namespaces have a location setting. Only namespaces with empty location settings are converted. (One namespace should default to mail_location setting) Here is the command I'm trying to run: doveadm -c /etc/dovecot/dovecot-migration.conf -D -o imapc_user=user -o imapc_password=password backup -Ru user(a)example.com imapc: Here is the output of doveconf -n: # 2.3.16 (7e2e900c1a): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 4.18.0-372.16.1.el8_6.x86_64 x86_64 AlmaLinux release 8.6 (Sky Tiger) # Hostname: example.com auth_mechanisms = plain login auth_verbose = yes disable_plaintext_auth = no info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-info.log log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log mail_debug = yes mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/passwd driver = passwd-file } postmaster_address = postmaster(a)example.com protocols = imap lmtp service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } } service lmtp { executable = lmtp -L inet_listener lmtp { address = 1.2.3.4 127.0.0.1 ::1 port = 24 } unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { group = postfix mode = 0666 user = postfix } user = vmail } ssl_cert = </etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/fullchain.pem ssl_dh = # hidden, use -P to show it ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it ssl_prefer_server_ciphers = yes userdb { args = username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/passwd auth_verbose = yes default_fields = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/var/vmail/%u driver = passwd-file } protocol lmtp { lmtp_rawlog_dir = /tmp/dovecot/%u log_path = /var/log/dovecot-lmtp-debug.log } -- Tom Spettigue Staff Engineer (720) 406-5269 Zonit Structured Solutions www.zonit.com

Re: Deleting "folders only" folder doesn't actually delete
by Joseph Tam 13 Jul '22

13 Jul '22

> I'm using dovecot-2.3.17.1-1.fc34.x86_64 on fedora34 and Thunderbird 91 on fedora35. When creating a folder of type "folders only" in Thunderbird, then trying to delete it, it doesn't actually delete it from the filesystem. Is this a permissions problem? Or perhaps a Thunderbird problem? Are you using MBOX backend? I think I ran across this problem and it's some confusion as to whether the target is a file or directory. I was finally able to delete it by appending '/' to the name of the folder in my mail reader, but some mail readers do not allow you to type the mailbox name to delete. I believe Tbunderbird has some IMAP server setting that will give it a hint. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

dsync confusion

Hi Folks, The man page for doveadm-sync says that the final argument is the destination to which files will be written. But the example later in the man page says the opposite. Under 'Conversion' I read: ``` Assuming that the mail_location setting in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf is set to: mail_location = mdbox:~/mdbox, a logged in system user may convert her/his mails from its Maildir in her/his home directory to the mdbox mailbox format. The user has to execute the command: doveadm sync maildir:~/Maildir ``` which has the destination in /etc/dovecot/conf.d and the _source_ as the final argument to doveadm sync. It seems on trying it, that the example doesn't work. To convert from, say mbox to Maildir, I had to do: doveadm backup 'maildir:~/Maildir:LAYOUT=fs' with /etc/dovecot containing mail_location = mbox:~/Mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u:INDEX=/var/indices/%u Even this didn't work properly for me. All the messages from all the mboxen in ~/Mail ended up in ~/Maildir/cur and the other mailboxes ended up with empty cur/ and new/ directories under ~/Maildir/xxx/ Dovecot version 2.3.19.1 (9b53102964) installed from Debian sid on x86_64. Home directories are NFS mounted. I don't think the rest of the config is relevant. -- Peter Chubb

Trouble configuring managesive plugin for roundcube
by Austin Witmer 10 Jul '22

10 Jul '22

Hello all! I’ve got a bit of a problem that I would like some help with. So, I have two servers, one is my mail server running postfix, dovecot etc. I have a second server setup as my roundcube server. Both servers are running on the same LAN network. I have sieve scripts setup in dovecot in my mail server and they are working great! My trouble is that I can’t seem to make my roundcube talk correctly to managesieve on my mail server. Here is the mail.log file from the mail server when I try to create a sievescript from roundcube webmail: Jul 10 04:11:45 mail dovecot: managesieve-login: Disconnected: Too many invalid commands. (no auth attempts in 0 secs): user=<>, rip=10.116.0.3, lip=10.116.0.2, session=<cZMzomvjyNgKdAAD> And here is my managesieve configuration from my roundcube server. /var/www/roundcube/plugins/managesieve/config.inc.php <?php $config['managesieve_port'] = 4190; $config['managesieve_host'] = 'ssl://10.116.0.2'; $config['managesieve_auth_type'] = null; $config['managesieve_auth_cid'] = null; $config['managesieve_auth_pw'] = null; $config['managesieve_usetls'] = false; $config['managesieve_conn_options'] = array( 'ssl' => array( 'verify_peer' => false, 'allow_self_signed' => true, ), ); $config['managesieve_default'] = 'var/lib/dovecot/sieve/default.sieve'; $config['managesieve_script_name'] = 'default.sieve'; $config['managesieve_mbox_encoding'] = 'UTF-8'; $config['managesieve_replace_delimiter'] = ''; $config['managesieve_disabled_extensions'] = []; $config['managesieve_debug'] = true; $config['managesieve_kolab_master'] = false; $config['managesieve_filename_extension'] = '.sieve'; $config['managesieve_filename_exceptions'] = []; $config['managesieve_domains'] = []; $config['managesieve_default_headers'] = ['Subject', 'From', 'To']; $config['managesieve_vacation'] = 0; $config['managesieve_forward'] = 0; $config['managesieve_vacation_interval'] = 0; $config['managesieve_vacation_addresses_init'] = false; $config['managesieve_vacation_from_init'] = false; $config['managesieve_notify_methods'] = ['mailto']; $config['managesieve_raw_editor'] = true; $config['managesieve_disabled_actions'] = []; $config['managesieve_allowed_hosts'] = null; Does anybody have any clue why roundcube isn’t able to login in to managesieve on my mail server? Are there more logs/configs you would like to see? Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions! Austin Witmer

CVE-2022-30550: Privilege escalation possible in dovecot when similar master and non-master passdbs are used
by Aki Tuomi 10 Jul '22

10 Jul '22

Affected product: Dovecot IMAP Server Internal reference: DOV-5320 Vulnerability type: Improper Access Control (CWE-284) Vulnerable version: 2.2 Vulnerable component: submission Report confidence: Confirmed Solution status: Fixed in main Researcher credits: Julian Brook (julezman) Vendor notification: 2022-05-06 CVE reference: CVE-2022-30550 CVSS: 6.8 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N) Vulnerability Details: When two passdb configuration entries exist in Dovecot configuration, which have the same driver and args settings, the incorrect username_filter and mechanism settings can be applied to passdb definitions. These incorrectly applied settings can lead to an unintended security configuration and can permit privilege escalation with certain configurations involving master user authentication. Dovecot documentation does not advise against the use of passdb definitions which have the same driver and args settings. One such configuration would be where an administrator wishes to use the same pam configuration or passwd file for both normal and master users but use the username_filter setting to restrict which of the users is able to be a master user. Risk: If same passwd file or PAM is used for both normal and master users, it is possible for attacker to become master user. Workaround: Always authenticate master users from different source than regular users, e.g. using a separate passwd file. Alternatively, you can use global ACLs to ensure that only legimate master users have priviledged access. Fix: This has been fixed in main branch. See https://github.com/dovecot/core/compare/7bad6a24%5E..a1022072.patch

User authentication / activity log
by Karl Denninger 07 Jul '22

07 Jul '22

I'm on 2.3.19.1 (9b53102964) running on FreeBSD, if it matters. I have a set of maintenance "things" that I want to have happen if someone does not authenticate against Dovecot (to check mail) after some period of time. I was running the Z-Push exchange server, which (as its in PHP) made sticking an "you were here" flag in the user's filesystem easy, which of course means checking it is easy since the modification time on the file is sufficient. I was looking for something similar that I could use with Dovecot and my first thought was the cache or index files, but as it turns out local delivery (I'm running Postfix) updates those, so they're not left alone if no client is connected. I also don't see anything appropriate in the syslog that dovecot dumps into there I can scan for on a sign-in. My auth mechanism is "straight" login, no LDAP or similar, and I use pam as the mechanism. I don't see anything in the auth.log file or dovecot's logs. My authentication section for dovecot is pretty-basic: auth_mechanisms = login disable_plaintext_auth = yes passdb { args = session=yes dovecot driver = pam } protocols = imap Does Dovecot maintain something that I can reasonably find in the filesystem for this? A perusal of the documentation doesn't appear to show anything directly pertinent -- but I may have missed it. It appears that the event export capacity might be able to do this but I'm confused on how to set it up; what would be very useful is if, for each user, the log point could be different (e.g. in their home directory) and if it allowed overwriting (thus becoming an activity flag, basically.)
