Feature request: use`openid_configuration_url` to guess OIDC endpoints and keys
by Éloi Rivard 04 Feb '22

04 Feb '22

Since version 2.3.16 dovecot has a openid_configuration_url [1] configuration parameter. Here is the documentation about this parameter: > Support for RFC 7628 OpenID Discovery (OIDC) can be achieved with > openid_configuration_url setting. Setting this causes Dovecot to report OIDC > configuration URL as openid-configuration element in error JSON. After reading the RFC I understand this brings some context to the error messages, but at first glance I would have expected more from this parameter. - Dovecot could read the userinfo_endpoint option [2] in the OIDC discovery endpoint to guess the IDP userinfo endpoint [3], and make the dovecot introspection_url parameter optional. - Dovecot could read the introspection_endpoint option [4] in the OIDC discovery endpoint to guess the IDP introspection endpoint [5], and make the dovecot tokeninfo_url parameter optional. RFC8414 is still a draft though, but there seems to be a convention about this parameter be called either token_introspection_endpoint or introspection_endpoint. Maybe both could be checked? - Dovecot could read the jwks_uri [4] option in the OIDC discovery endpoint to guess the IDP public keys, and make the local_validation_key_dict dovecot parameter optional. I would suggest to keep the values in introspection_url, tokeninfo_url and local_validation_key_dict if defined, but use the values found in the OIDC discovery endpoint by default. I think this would really help using OAUTH with dovecot. What do you think?

Dovecot v2.3.18 released
by Aki Tuomi 04 Feb '22

04 Feb '22

Hi all! We are pleased to release v2.3.18 of Dovecot. Debian/Stretch support has now been dropped. CentOS 8 packages have been replaced with RedHat Enterprise Linux 8 packages. These should be compatible with all the various variants. https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.18.tar.gz https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.18.tar.gz.sig Binary packages in https://repo.dovecot.org/ Docker images in https://hub.docker.com/r/dovecot/dovecot Regards, Aki Tuomi Open-Xchange oy -- * Removed mail_cache_lookup_finished event. This event wasn't especially useful, but it increased CPU usage significantly. * fts: Don't index inline base64 encoded content in FTS indexes using the generic tokenizer. This reduces the FTS index sizes by removing input that is very unlikely to be searched for. See https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/fts/tokenization for details on how base64 is detected. Only applies when using libfts. * lmtp: Session IDs are now preserved through proxied connections, so LMTP sessions can be tracked. This slightly changes the LMTP session ID format by appending ":Tn" (transaction), ":Pn" (proxy connection) and ":Rn" (recipient) counters after the session ID prefix. + Events now have "reason_code" field, which can provide a list of reasons why the event is happening. See https://doc.dovecot.org/admin_manual/event_reasons/ + New events are added. See https://doc.dovecot.org/admin_manual/list_of_events/ + fts: Added fts_header_excludes and fts_header_includes settings to specify which headers to index. See https://doc.dovecot.org/settings/plugin/fts-plugin#plugin-fts-setting-fts-h… for configuration details. + fts: Initialize the textcat language detection library only once per process. This can reduce CPU usage if fts_languages setting has multiple languages listed and service indexer-worker { service_count } isn't 1. Only applies when using libfts. + lib-storage: Reduced CPU usage significantly for some operations that accessed lots of emails (e.g. fetching all flags in a folder, SORT, ...) + lib: DOVECOT_PREREQ() - Add micro version which enables compiling external plugins against different versions of Dovecot. + lmtp: Added new lmtp_verbose_replies setting that makes errors sent to the LMTP client much more verbose with details about why exactly backend proxy connections or commands are failing. + submission: Support implicit SASL EXTERNAL with submission_client_workarounds=implicit-auth-external. This allows automatically logging in when SSL client certificate is present. - *-login: Statistics were disabled if stats process connection was lost. - auth: Authentication master user login fails with SCRAM-* SASL mechanisms. - auth: With auth_cache_verify_password_with_worker=yes, passdb extra fields in the auth cache got lost. - doveadm: Fixed crash if zlib_save_level setting was specified, but zlib_save was unset. v2.3.15 regression. - doveadm: Proxying can panic when flushing print output. v2.3.17 regression. Fixes: Panic: file ioloop.c: line 865 (io_loop_destroy): assertion failed: (ioloop == current_ioloop) - doveadm: stats add --group-by parameter didn't work. - fts: Using email-address fts tokenizer could result in excessive memory usage with garbage email input. This could cause the indexer-worker processes to fail due to reaching the VSZ memory size limit. Only applies when using libfts. - imap: A SEARCH command timing out while fts returns indexes may timeout returning "NO [SERVERBUG]", while it should return "NO [INUSE]" instead. - imap: LIST-EXTENDED doesn't return STATUS for all folders. Sending LIST .. RETURN (SUBSCRIBED STATUS (...)) did not return STATUS for folders that are not subscribed when they have a child folder that is subscribed as mandated by IMAP RFCs. - imapc: Mailbox vsize calculation crashed with Panic: file index-mailbox-size.c: line 344 (index_mailbox_vsize_hdr_add_missing): assertion failed: (mails_left > 0) - indexer: If indexer-worker crashes, the request it was processing gets stuck in the indexer process. This stops indexing for the folder until indexer process is restarted. v2.3.14 regression. - indexer: Process was slowly leaking memory for each indexing request. - lib-event: Unnamed events were wrongly filtered out for event/metric filters like "event=abc OR something_independent_of_event_name". - lib-index: 64-bit big endian CPUs handle last_used field in dovecot.index.cache wrong. - lib-ssl-iostream: Fix buggy OpenSSL error handling without assert-crashing. If there is no error available, log it as an error instead of crashing. The previous fix for this in v2.3.11 was incomplete. Fixes Panic: file istream-openssl.c: line 51 (i_stream_ssl_read_real): assertion failed: (errno != 0) - lmtp: Out-of-memory issues can happen when proxying large messages to LMTP backend servers that accept the message data too slow. - master: HAProxy header parsing has read buffer overflow if provided header size is invalid. This happens only if inet_listener { haproxy=yes } is configured and only if the remote IP address is in haproxy_trusted_networks. - old_stats: Plugin kept increasing memory usage, which became noticeable with long-running imap sessions. - stats: Dynamically adding same metric multiple times causes multiple stats. - submission-login: Authentication does not accept OAUTH2 token (or other very long credentials) because it considers the line to be too long. - submission-login: Process can crash if HELO is pipelined with an invalid domain. - submission-proxy: Don't use SASL-IR if it would make the AUTH command line longer than 512 bytes. - submission: Service would crash if relay server authentication failed. - virtual: FTS search in a virtual folder could crash if there are duplicate mailbox GUIDs. This mainly happened when user had both INBOX and INBOX/INBOX folders and the namespace prefix was INBOX/. Fixes Panic: file hash.c: line 252 (hash_table_insert_node): assertion failed: (opcode == HASH_TABLE_OP_UPDATE) - virtual: If mailbox opening fails, the backend mailbox is leaked and process crashes when client disconnects. Fixes Panic: file mail-user.c: line 232 (mail_user_deinit): assertion failed: ((*user)->refcount == 1) - virtual: Searching headers in virtual folders didn't always use full-text search indexes, if fts_enforced=no or body.

How to use virtual "All" and "Flagged" mailbox?
by A B 01 Feb '22

01 Feb '22

Hello, I'm trying to use the virtual "All" and "Flagged" mailboxes as described in 15-mailboxes.conf. The information here ( https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/virtual_plugin/) doesn't really touch on how to actually interact with the virtual mailboxes. My presumption is that when I mark an email message in the Inbox as FLAGGED (and I can confirm the \Flagged flag has been set) then I should then be able to either (1) see a copy of that message in the virtual.Flagged folder, or (2) when I use an imap command to get the message nums or whatever from the virtual.Flagged folder/mailbox, it should return the message that is flagged in the inbox as a result. Additionally, I'm presuming that for each new user that automatically gets added, I would have to create my own script that would add the dovecot-virtual file, dovecot doesn't do that on its own. When I view the user's directory I see these folders were created: --- [snippet] drwxrwx---. 5 vmail vmail 135 Jan 25 17:01 .virtual.All/ drwxrwx---. 5 vmail vmail 158 Jan 25 17:14 .virtual.Flagged/ [.virtual.Flagged]# ll total 20 drwxrwx---. 5 vmail vmail 158 Jan 25 17:14 ./ drwxrwx---. 20 vmail vmail 4096 Jan 25 17:33 ../ drwxrwx---. 2 vmail vmail 6 Jan 25 16:58 cur/ -rw-rw----. 1 vmail vmail 868 Jan 25 16:58 dovecot.index.cache -rw-rw----. 1 vmail vmail 384 Jan 25 17:01 dovecot.index.log -rw-rw----. 1 vmail vmail 51 Jan 25 17:01 dovecot-uidlist -rw-r--r--. 1 vmail vmail 8 Jan 25 17:14 dovecot-virtual -rw-rw----. 1 vmail vmail 0 Jan 25 16:58 maildirfolder drwxrwx---. 2 vmail vmail 6 Jan 25 16:58 new/ drwxrwx---. 2 vmail vmail 6 Jan 25 16:58 tmp [.virtual.Flagged]# cat dovecot-virtual * flagged --- Side note: This set-up uses the php-imap library to interact with Dovecot.

Quota: read how much diskspace is available?
by Hans van Zijst 01 Feb '22

01 Feb '22

Hi, I've been trying to get domain quotas to work for a while, but to no avail so far. Is there a way to let Dovecot simply check how much space is still available in a directory? I'm using GlusterFS as my mailstore, so I can configure quotas per directory. All I need is a way to let Dovecot check quota in a way like "df /var/vmail/<domain>". Kind regards, Hans

Set mail crypt private password with OAUTH?
by Max Kostikov 31 Jan '22

31 Jan '22

We currently use Dovecot and mailbox encryption via the mail-crypt-plugin. With standard password authentication, we set the value of the individual password to encrypt the contents of the userdb_mail_crypt_private_password mailbox in the SQL query. Is it possible to set the userdb_mail_crypt_private_password value when authenticating via OAUTH2 ? -- Best regards, Max Kostikov

PLAIN password scheme issue with {}
by Kris von Mach 31 Jan '22

31 Jan '22

Hello, Using PLAIN password scheme and a user having a password with {} for example {RnDR8DaD} causes the authentication to fail: auth-worker(85632): Error: conn unix:auth-worker (uid=143): auth-worker<3333>: sql(user(a)domain.com,123.45.68.78,<EBh0ouPWULvTF5AQ>): Unknown scheme RnDR8DaD Is there some sort of a workaround for this other than requesting user not to use {} at beginning and end of their password?

silly quesiton
by steph.mag220＠netcourrier.com 31 Jan '22

31 Jan '22

Hi, Up to now, I used PAM of each user in order to send and receive email. ( BTW, sending email, a use authentication was required and we used the login and passwd of the user on the system Now, for dovecot, I start to use MD5 passwrd.. and that sounds to be OK auth_mechanisms = plain login cram-md5 passdb { driver = passwd-file # Path for passwd-file. Also set the default password scheme. args = scheme=cram-md5 /etc/cram-md5.pwd } But changing the passwrd for the user1.. he can retrieve emails from dovecot, but cannot send anymore, because sending emails kept the old passwrd. ( using the PAM) 1) How can I says sendmail to use the same passwd file ( with MD5) than dovecot ? 2) Ideally, I would like to create virtual users for the same mailbox Is that possible ? like 2 files Users and PAsswrds pointing out the mailbox : maildir :/home/mailbox/user1 ex : user1(a)foo.com passwrd1 /home/mailbox/generic_mails and user2 passwrd2 home/mailbox/generic_mails How can I do that ? Thanks for your help

Sync via ssh fails when ssl is active
by Johan 31 Jan '22

31 Jan '22

I have computers at two different locations and one computer running dovecot at each place. I sync my emails between these two servers using ssh and I haven't had any problems with this lately until I upgraded dovecot recently. I now get the following error at location "alfa" when trying to sync with dovecot at location "delta" Jan 20 16:13:09 doveadm: Error: doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf line 16: ssl_cert: Can't open file /etc/letsencrypt/live/delta.oxyl.net/fullchain.pem: Permission denied Jan 20 16:13:09 dsync-local(johan(a)oxyl.net)<FWBVNQN86WH52iQA1AGq6A>: Error: read(vmail(a)192.168.119.12) failed: EOF (version not received) Jan 20 16:13:09 dsync-local(johan(a)oxyl.net)<FWBVNQN86WH52iQA1AGq6A>: Error: Remote command returned error 89: ssh -q -p 22 -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -i /datastorage/epost/vmail/.ssh/id_ecdsa -lvmail 192.168.119.12 doveadm dsync-server -ujohan(a)oxyl.net Trying to sync from "delta" i get the same error but the domain is changed in the error-message to 'alfa.oxyl.net' I can read mail at both locations using STARTTLS. There is no error in dovecot.log when I restart the service. If I disable ssl and comment out ssl_cert/ssl_key in 10-ssl.conf I have no trouble performing sync between servers. If I run the ssh-command in the error-message as user vmail I get the same ssl-error as above. Any ideas how to solve this? /Johan Pålsson

Dsync replication - delayed replication (Sync lock)
by Daniel Botting 31 Jan '22

31 Jan '22

Hi, *Our setup:* Two Debian 10 machines that are setup to replicate mail between them, we have round robin DNS setup so a user can connect to either server. *What should happen:* Mail is delivered to either server and replicated across straight away to their mailbox on the other server so it does not matter which one they are connected to they will receive it fairly soon after delivery. *What actually happens:* In some instances the user will experience a delayed receipt of messages if they are not connected to the server that the message is initially delivered to, sometimes the delay is 5/10 minutes, we had a recent support ticket submitted where it was over an hour. Error message seen in mail.err: Sep 1 10:16:15 <host name> dovecot: dsync-local(<username>)<WELSGEERTl8FEAAAZJ7A9A>: Error: Couldn't lock /path/to/mailbox/.dovecot-sync.lock: fcntl(/path/to/mailbox/.dovecot-sync.lock, write-lock, F_SETLKW) locking failed: Timed out after 30 seconds (WRITE lock held by pid 3697) Process 3697 is dovecot/doveadm-server. *Doveconf -n output:* # 2.3.10.1 (a3d0e1171): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.5.10 (67bf5bd7) # OS: Linux 4.19.0-10-amd64 x86_64 Debian 10.5 # Hostname: <server hostname> auth_verbose = yes default_vsz_limit = 0 doveadm_password = # hidden, use -P to show it first_valid_gid = 8 first_valid_uid = 8 last_valid_gid = 8 last_valid_uid = 8 lda_mailbox_autocreate = yes lda_mailbox_autosubscribe = yes mail_gid = 8 mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir mail_plugins = " notify replication" mail_uid = 8 managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex im ap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date index ihave duplicate mime foreverypart extracttext editheader imapfla gs namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext driver = ldap } plugin { mail_replica = tcps:<server being replicated to>:<port being used> sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve sieve_extensions = +editheader +imapflags } postmaster_address = postmaster@<domain address> protocols = " imap sieve pop3" replication_max_conns = 12 service aggregator { fifo_listener replication-notify-fifo { user = mail } unix_listener replication-notify { user = mail } } service auth { unix_listener /var/run/dovecot-exim-bridge { mode = 0660 user = Debian-exim } } service doveadm { inet_listener { port = <port being used for replication> ssl = yes } } service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 143 } } inet_listener imaps { port = 993 ssl = yes } process_limit = 512 process_min_avail = 4 service_count = 1 } service imap { process_limit = 1024 } service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve { port = <sieve port> } process_min_avail = 1 service_count = 8 vsz_limit = 256 M } service managesieve { process_limit = 1024 } service replicator { process_min_avail = 1 unix_listener replicator-doveadm { mode = 0666 } } ssl = required ssl_cert = </path/to/ssl/cert/fullchain.pem ssl_cipher_list = ALL:!LOW:!SSLv2:!EXP:!aNULL ssl_client_ca_dir = /etc/ssl/certs ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it ssl_min_protocol = TLSv1.2 userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext driver = ldap override_fields = home=/var/mail/%u uid=mail gid=mail } protocol lda { mail_plugins = " notify replication sieve" } protocol imap { mail_max_userip_connections = 32 mail_plugins = " notify replication" } protocol sieve { mail_max_userip_connections = 10 managesieve_logout_format = bytes=%i/%o managesieve_max_line_length = 65536 } Kind regards Daniel

Non-unique Message ID in mail messages
by Daniel Ryšlink 28 Jan '22

28 Jan '22

Hello! I apologize for bringing perhaps trivial/well-known matter, but I am interested in your opinion. RFC 5322 clearly states that mail messages SHOULD contain a Message ID identifier, but if the do contain it, it MUST be globally unique. Despite this requirement, I have encountered senders (namely Spamcop) that sends obviously different (albeit related) messages called "Alert" and "Summary" (they are always related to the same incident and have the same Message ID). This creates all sorts of problems when processing these mails, namely with users that have local forwards from one domain to another (our mailserver hosts multiple domains), because for example Dovecot refuses to forward the second message, flagging it as a duplicate. My question to you is - did you also encounter similar incorrect (according to RFC standards) problem, and if so, is there a way to persuade dovecot to perhaps determine the uniqueness of a message by other means than just checking the message ID (i.e. look at other identifiers, Subject, perhaps)? Because according to the log records, Spamcop does not seem to be the only offender. Thanks in advance for any reactions, and if I did something wrong by writing this message, I apologize again in advance. If required, I can provide samples of the Spamcop messages. -- --===============-- --== Best Regards! ==-- --===============-- Daniel Ryšlink Sysadmin @ Quantcom.cz Czech Republic

hi Christian >Did the password hash algorithm change between devuan 3 and 4? >You can check that in your /etc/shadow file. As I understand, devuan is pretty much debian without systemd? And that if you were prepared to do a fair bit of work you could start with debian installed, hack it about and end up with something like devuan? I doubt devuan has done anything to deviate from debian at this level and both machines were recently dist-upgraded. Dovecot needed no tinkering with at all on the debian machine. >The start of the password field should be the same something like $6$... > Yes it is on devuan 4. I no longer have anything with devuan 3 to check that, but it shouldn't have changed in a dist-upgrade? Interestingly, although it's the same user and password on both machines, I notice that the hashes in /etc/shadow are not identical after the commencing $6$. But then I don't know how these hashes are derived, so maybe that is not unexpected? -- David Matthews mail(a)dmatthews.org

doveadm backup : Warning: Deleting mailbox GUID= is missing locally
by Laura Smith 28 Jan '22

28 Jan '22

Hi, As per the docs (https://wiki.dovecot.org/Tools/Doveadm/Sync) I'm presently running doveadm backup multiple times with a view to eventual server migration. I am seeing messages such as this: Warning: Deleting mailbox 'Junk': UID=1826 GUID= is missing locally Is it anything to worry about ? If so, how should I be dealing with it. I also have a further question. It is not clear from the docs what the role of the "-R" flag is in relation to "doveadm backup" ? Surely by definition backup = remote -> local ? Thanks ! Laura

Question regarding delivery from Postfix via LMTP proxy
by Vlad Sedov 28 Jan '22

28 Jan '22

Hello, I'm using Postfix with Dovecot 2.3.13, and trying to get LMTP proxy to work for authentication and delivery in the following scenario: Incoming Mail -> Postfix (server A) -> LMTP to Dovecot (server A) -> LMTP to Dovecot (server B) I'm using MySQL for authentication. I've created a user on both server A and server B, test(a)domain.tld On server A, host parameter in password_query for test(a)domain.tld is set to server B's address, and proxy_maybe is enabled. Delivery and authentication to Server A works fine. Authentication and IMAP proxy to server B works fine as well. I can connect to IMAP on server A with credentials for test(a)domain.tld and access the maildir on server B. This works surprisingly well, and is about half the battle for me.. What I can't figure out, is how can I get Postfix to deliver mail using LMTP via server A to server B.. Currently, mail still gets delivered to the user's maildir on server A. Is this possible with Dovecot alone, or do I need to use another method to get messages to hop to server B via server A? Any help would be appreciated.. cheers, Vlad

hi Christian Same user and password on both machines, users with shell accounts; exactly the same; in fact I'm struggling to see anything different that might be relevant. On one machine dovecot just works on the other, it stopped working after a dist-upgrade. One machine (where it works) is a debian 11 VPS, the other is real PC hardware running devuan 4, but their dovecot is a debian package.

Errors: Failed to map transaction log, Corrupted transaction log, imeout (180s) while waiting for lock for transaction log

doveadm stateful backup
by Christian 26 Jan '22

26 Jan '22

Hi all, first: I'm using version 2.3.4.1 I manage some rather large imap mailboxes which I want to backup on a regular basis. Some of them have relatively heavy traffic and one of them is greater than 30GB in size. I studied the docs for doveadm backup (https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Doveadm/Sync) and even did some code research to better understand the process. The docs state that using stateful synchronization is the most efficient way to synchronize mailboxes, therefore I chose this approach. Highlevel overview: - store a copy of the whole maildir in a separate directory (/var/vmail/backup) - backup to this directory once a minute (trying to make most use of transaction logs) using the last state stored within a file - create a backup once a day using tar (full, differential and incremental ones) blocking the backup process of the before mentioned step I quite often receive notifications that doveadm backup returned an exit code of 2, which should be quite normal. These notifications look like that: dsync(another_address(a)my.domain): Warning: Failed to do incremental sync for mailbox INBOX, retry with a full sync (Modseq 171631 no longer in transaction log (highest=177818, last_common_uid=177308, nextuid=177309)) dsync(another_address(a)my.domain): Warning: Mailbox changes caused a desync. You may want to run dsync again: Remote lost mailbox GUID e9149d0ae4e02d532505000026ca4352 (maybe it was just deleted?) Synced another_address(a)my.domain successfully but missing some changes. Took 3 seconds. Starting retry 1... The first message seems to point out that the transaction log got rolled and no more contains the messages from the backup dir, right? I thought about setting mail_index_log_rotate_min_age to 1hour to prevent rolling transaction logs too often, but abandoned this thought and increased the backup interval to once a minute. The warnings still appear so maybe my thoughts about transactions logs are wrong. The second message seems less alarming to me. How does doeveadm backup behave in such situations? Does it directly fall back to a less efficient way of syncing mails? Does the state store the information "retry with a full sync" and the next run uses this mode? To investigate on this I simply measured runtimes an saw that the second/retry run takes a bit longer (up to about 15 seconds) to sync the dir. I'm afraid of losing messages using my approach. Is it safe to always use doveadm backup -s $state? Simply counting one maildirs files within the live directory and the backup copy shows a 100 fewer files within the backup dir although the script runs only since a few days. For reference, see my backup script below.

If anyone running 2.3.17.1 sees this or does not see it on Too many bad... or at all, kindly mind letting me know, not sure if something has gone haywire here or its a bug that needs reporting since logs indicate this only occurred after updating to the point 1 release. -- Regards, Noel Butler This Email, including attachments, may contain legally privileged information, therefore at all times remains confidential and subject to copyright protected under international law.

Good morning, day, evening :P As stated on documentation S3-compatible Storages — Dovecot documentation <https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/mail_location/obox/s3/> only AWS S3 is officially supported. However, we know that Scality has been successfully integrated at some larger corporations. Particularly curious if anyone has integrated with Pure S3 object storage solution, or any other for that matter? Just looking at some different options. - Sincerely, Martin.

sockets created for lmtp
by Mike 20 Jan '22

20 Jan '22

Was recently configuring lmtp to listen in the postfix spool for mail. I set the socket as suggested in the documentation, however, when I look at what sockets were created there was an additional one for dovecot. Since I made the change, my expectation would have been just the one that I set up. I doubt it impacts it negatively, but I wanted to understand if I configured things correctly or not. Thanks. Mike

FTS Tokenization filters normalizer-icu vs lowercase
by Alessio Cecchi 20 Jan '22

20 Jan '22

Hi, I'm trying to setup fts-flatcurve with tokenization. What are the differences/benefits with "fts_filters = normalizer-icu" vs "fts_filters = lowercase"? Reading the Doc I found about normalizer-icu "This is potentially very resource intensive." and about lowercase "Supports UTF8, when compiled with libicu". So, using lowercase is almost the same that normalizer-icu but faster? FYI for using fts-flatcurve with dovecot RPM packages from repo.dovecot.org you have to rebuild with --with-icu --with-stemmer --with-textcat and related library. Thanks -- Alessio Cecchi Postmaster @ http://www.qboxmail.it https://www.linkedin.com/in/alessice

Save of messages slow when replica unavailable
by Jörg Faudin Schulz 20 Jan '22

20 Jan '22

We have a setup with a dovecot server + replica. This works fine as long as the replica is available. When the replica is not available for some reason, the clients can work normally with one exception: the saving of sent messages to their inboxes takes ages. Thunderbird times out and complains (and duplicates the message), mail.app just waits until it's done. Is there any setting that helps here? For the time being, I deactivated replication; but this isn't a long time solution. Thank you for all your work&support, appreciating the doc as well.

lmtp_save_to_detail_mailbox
by dovecot＠ptld.com 19 Jan '22

19 Jan '22

lmtp_save_to_detail_mailbox: " If the recipient address includes a detail element / role (as in user+detail format), save the message to the detail mailbox. " Im not understanding this, what is the "detail mailbox"? I tried testing this feature by setting "lmtp_save_to_detail_mailbox = yes" and sending an email to user+test(a)example.com. The email still ended up in the default inbox folder. So what does lmtp_save_to_detail_mailbox do or is there another setting that also needs to be set to use this feature?

Outlook vs. Dovecot experience
by Vladislav Kurz 18 Jan '22

18 Jan '22

Dear colleagues, what is your experience regarding using outlook (2016/365) as IMAP client and dovecot on server side? We have sync issues with outlook vs. cyrus IMAP server, and we consider moving to dovecot. But before that I'd like to hear from others if this combination works well. Especially if users have large and bushy mailboxes (>10 GB, >100 mailboxes), two mailboxes (accounts) on the same server. I don't want to do the migration just to find out that it is general issue of outlook vs. any IMAP server. -- Best regards Vladislav Kurz

JA3/JA3S as a Dovecot plugin?
by Sidsel Jensen 18 Jan '22

18 Jan '22

Hi We have been looking a bit into JA3 (https://engineering.salesforce.com/tls-fingerprinting-with-ja3-and-ja3s-247… <https://engineering.salesforce.com/tls-fingerprinting-with-ja3-and-ja3s-247…> and https://blog.squarelemon.com/tls-fingerprinting/ <https://blog.squarelemon.com/tls-fingerprinting/> ) for possible threat actor identifications. Roughly speaking you can think of JA3 as the TLS equivalent of the User-Agent string. Has anybody been looking into the possibility of building an open source dovecot JA3 plugin? I’d also like to hear the technical pros/cons of doing so…and perhaps the ethical deliberations also :-) Kind Regards, Sidsel

FTS flatcurve not index messages when SEARCH run on Virtual Mailboxes
by Alessio Cecchi 18 Jan '22

18 Jan '22

Hi, I'm testing FTS flatcurve plugin in order to understand if I can switch from FTS Solr to flatcurve. In my configuration I have enabled Virtual mailboxes and for search in all folders I just SEARCH on Virtual/All folder. I this (virtual) folder is not indexed with FTS Solr Dovecot start to index it (or all real folders). But with FTS flatcurve when I SEARCH on Virtual/All for the first time the indexer process does not start and the search return empty. Only if I run manually "doveadm index -q -u alessio(a)email.net '*'" flatcurve find messages. Can flatcurve have the same feature as Solr for Virtual mailboxes? Here a sample of my configuration: namespace Virtual { hidden = yes list = no location = virtual:/etc/dovecot/virtual:INDEX=~/Maildir/virtual prefix = Virtual/ separator = / subscriptions = no } namespace inbox { [...] mailbox virtual/All { comment = All my messages special_use = \All } } # cat /etc/dovecot/virtual/All/dovecot-virtual * all Thanks -- Alessio Cecchi Postmaster @ http://www.qboxmail.it https://www.linkedin.com/in/alessice

Extracting CLIENTID information from checkpassword or postlogin scripting
by Dan Conway 18 Jan '22

18 Jan '22

Hello, When extracting client_id information from the client connection (i.e. setting imap_id_log = *) the information is directly logged by Dovecot as such: ID sent: name=Thunderbird, version=91.5.0 My question is, Is it possible to export/set this information in a checkpassword script or a postlogin script? client_id If|imap_id_retain| <https://doc.dovecot.org/settings/core/#core_setting-imap_id_retain>is enabled this variable is populated with the client ID request as IMAP arglist. I've enabled both checkpassword and postlogin on a test server, as well as 'imap_id_retain' set to 'yes'. I wrote a simple Perl script that dumps everything in %ENV as well as @ARGV for checkpassword and postlogin, but I don't see any occurrences of ID information. I've also tried to see if I could supply that variable in dovecot.conf by setting 'client_id' as a parameter, but that didn't seem to do the trick either. passdb { ... # Doesn't work args = /usr/local/bin/checkpassword.pl client_id # Doesn't work args = /usr/local/bin/checkpassword.pl %{client_id} ... } What am I missing? Is it possible to get these variables into an external script that checkpassword or postlogin executes? Thanks.

Order of loading and checking userdb on Ubuntu
by Mike 16 Jan '22

16 Jan '22

When using the lmtp service for local delivery, I'd like to change the user lookup to only use the user portion of the email address. I think I do that in the 20-lmtp.conf file, but not exactly sure how. From what I've found on the web, I just need to change the auth_username_format=%n. I feel confident that I'm not doing it right. older posts implied that the order things are loaded is an issue, but not sure if that is the case anymore. My goal is to set username_format for only lmtp. Thanks for any help.

Wrong timestamp value in name of file
by Ervin Hegedüs 14 Jan '22

14 Jan '22

Hi there, Debian 10, Dovecot 2.3.4 (1:2.3.4.1-5+deb10u6), ext4 mailstore. A user on our server reorganized the sent items: he moved few items from the old sent folder into a new one. After that, he noticed me that he does not see every mail, but when he starts a search, then he finds it. I looked up the mail, and found this situation: # ls -la 1642152396.M997381P21341.mail2\,S\=473164\,W\=479469\:2\,S -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 473164 aug 24 10:21 '1642152396.M997381P21341.mail2,S=473164,W=479469:2,S' # grep Date '1642152396.M997381P21341.mail2,S=473164,W=479469:2,S' Date: Tue, 24 Aug 2021 10:21:39 +0200 # date -d @1642152396 Fri Jan 14 10:26:36 CET 2022 As you can see that mail had sent on 24 Aug, 2021, but after the reorganization it got a new timestamp with the date of today. I assume the client (iPhone) orders the mail by the name of files - am I right? Why did this happen? How can I fix that? I mean, is there any way to rename this files (a few hundred...) to the "real" timestamp? Thanks, a.

ssl=required per user?
by Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz 13 Jan '22

13 Jan '22

Can ssl=required be forced on per user setting? Right now I could modify password_query to check if %c (%{secured}) is empty and return appropriate error as "reason" like in https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/authentication/nologin/#authen… example. Unfortunately password_query is a bit too late. I would like to deny access as soon as possible, so just after user sends his login. (that won't help much in cases when client sends password early like "AUTH PLAIN b64loginpass" but will help in all other cases) user_query doesn't have this capability that password_query it seems. -- Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz, arekm / ( maven.pl | pld-linux.org )

Is Diffie-Hellman needed?
by dovecot＠ptld.com 13 Jan '22

13 Jan '22

Is Diffie-Hellman needed on a modern new dovecot setup? ssl_dh is empty by default. Both ssl_cert and ssl_key on my setup are pointing to let's encrypt certs. However i see Diffie-Hellman related warnings in logs: dovecot[1073]: imap-login: Error: Diffie-Hellman key exchange requested, but no DH parameters provided. Set ssl_dh=</path/to/dh.pem Am i causing issues for some users by not setting up ssl_dh or is this something being phased out?

Migrate mail_location
by hello＠reox.at 11 Jan '22

11 Jan '22

Hi! I have a dovecot installation, with the following configuration: mail_home = /var/vmail/%d/%n mail_location = maildir:~ I would like to migrate the mail_location to maildir:~/mail, to get around the issues described in the documentation. But I can not really find a good way to do that. I played around with doveadm sync/backup, but I can only copy everything into a new location (i.e. doveadm sync maildir:~/mail), but this does not really untangle the mail_home and location. My other idea was to migrate the maildir manually, i.e. move the maildir related folders and files (new, cur, tmp, all folders starting with a dot and containing itself {new,cur,tmp}, dovecot.* files, subscriptions file) into the ~/mail folder, but I'm not sure if this is a safe method. Is there any safe method to do this using dovecot tools? If the only way is a offline migration, I'm fine with that. Best, Sebastian

Hi! I've been running a server with Dovecot, Sieve, Spamassassin and getmail to handle my emails for several years now. Just before christmas I did one of these regular updates and since then I got problems with spamassassin. Quite a lot of spam is not been filtered out. I can see a lot of errors like these in the mail-log. spamd: failed to create readable default_prefs: /home/vmail/.spamassassin/user_prefs Vmail is the user that is running my scripts that retrieves email and executes spamc. Any ideas? Regards, Hans

Please report file dovecot-sysreport-strida.0x58.com-1641784164.tar.gz Removing temp files at /tmp/tmp.z5qJkwrW … While reading about fts/fts_squat I came across the page noting it was deprecated. I am running a mail server for myself, and have avoided installing Solr this entire time, but I guess its time to upgrade. In the mean time hopefully this core dump can help figure out what is going on. Bert JW Regeer

outlook 2019 not working
by postmaster 10 Jan '22

10 Jan '22

Just tried connecting a Windows 10 client with Outlook 2019 but it fail's on both POP3 or IMAP - i knew it was working when i tested it after the server setup about a year ago because i documented everything with screenshots. All other devices we use (Thunderbird, iPhone/iPad, Android devices, RoundCube) are working without any issue, just Outlook won't connect anymore. We don't have much Windows/Outlook experience - any help/hints appreciated. This what i have in the logs, but doesn't see anything that helps: 2022.01.10 02:22:25 pop3-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x10, ret=1: before SSL initialization 2022.01.10 02:22:25 pop3-login: Debug: SSL:

Patch: assertion failed in doveadm fts lookup

Non-user logins?
by Ken Wright 09 Jan '22

09 Jan '22

My Dovecot issues continue. Right now I see at least two issues: first, my logs consistently show non-users trying (and failing) to log in, and I'm still unable to log in from my email client (Evolution or Roundcube, either one). I'll post about the second issue later; right now I wonder why I'm getting so many non-users trying to log in. Am I the subject of concerted hacking attacks, or is there something else going on? Some of the attempted logins are more-or-less random names claiming to be @mydomain, but at least one is a username that's really on my server, to wit: Jan 7 22:52:01 grace dovecot: lmtp(776281): Error: lmtp-server: conn unix:pid=776262,uid=117 [3]: rcpt www-data(a)mydomain.com: Failed to lookup user www-data(a)mydomain.com: Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. (Another quick question: which server log should I check?) So, if anyone can tell me what's going on with all these logins, I'd be much obliged! Ken

Patch: enhancements for solr/tika integration
by John Fawcett 09 Jan '22

09 Jan '22

Hi here's a patch with some enhancements that I am applying locally for solr/tika integration. Hopefully this can be considered for inclusion. I've tested up to 2.3.16 and this patch applies against latest version 2.3.17.1. The contents are: 1. Allow username and password in tika configuration (as is already supported for solr). For example: fts_tika = https://user:password@tika_host:tika_port/tika/tika This means that tika can be more easily located on a different server to dovecot. Locating Solr and Tika on separate servers can isolate the Dovecot server from issues that may happen on Solr or Tika (like out of memory). 2. Introduce an optional configurable limit on the size of emails whose message bodies will be indexed with solr via a new setting fts_max_size, to be put in the plugin section. For example plugin { ... fts_max_size = 2M ... } Message body indexing is skipped for messages that are larger than this setting. 3. Introduce an optional configurable limit on the size of emails whose attachments will be sent to tika for keyword extraction, via a new setting fts_max_size_tika, to be put in the plugin section. For example: plugin { ... fts_max_size_tika = 1M } I noticed that some very large attachments are being sent to tika and these often do not have any useful content to index. For simplicity the check is done on message size not individual or total attachment size. Here's the patch: diff -ur dovecot-2.3.17.1-orig/src/plugins/fts/fts-build-mail.c dovecot-2.3.17.1-new/src/plugins/fts/fts-build-mail.c --- dovecot-2.3.17.1-orig/src/plugins/fts/fts-build-mail.c 2021-12-03 12:48:47.000000000 +0100 +++ dovecot-2.3.17.1-new/src/plugins/fts/fts-build-mail.c 2022-01-09 01:33:23.398341998 +0100 @@ -17,6 +17,7 @@ #include "fts-filter.h" #include "fts-api-private.h" #include "fts-build-mail.h" +#include "settings-parser.h" /* there are other characters as well, but this doesn't have to be exact */ #define IS_WORD_WHITESPACE(c) \ @@ -25,6 +26,8 @@ wherever */ #define MAX_WORD_SIZE 1024 +static bool debug = FALSE;

Patch: safeguard against too large value for uid being sent to solr for single mailbox searches
by John Fawcett 09 Jan '22

09 Jan '22

Hi I'm reposting a patch for solr integration which I have been applying locally. It applies against 2.3.17.1. Dovecot already has a mechanism when doing solr fts searches on multiple mailboxes that prevents a too large value for maximum rows being sent to solr. #define SOLR_MAX_MULTI_ROWS 100000 (defined and used in plugins/fts-solr/fts-backend-solr.c) However on single mailbox searches Dovecot uses the last uid of the mailbox, which can be too large for solr. My suggested patch is to also limit maximum rows to return on single mailbox searches. Here is the patch: diff -ur dovecot-2.3.17.1-orig/src/plugins/fts-solr/fts-backend-solr.c dovecot-2.3.17.1-new/src/plugins/fts-solr/fts-backend-solr.c --- dovecot-2.3.17.1-orig/src/plugins/fts-solr/fts-backend-solr.c 2021-12-03 12:48:47.000000000 +0100 +++ dovecot-2.3.17.1-new/src/plugins/fts-solr/fts-backend-solr.c 2022-01-09 01:33:23.401341959 +0100 @@ -837,7 +837,7 @@ str = t_str_new(256); str_printfa(str, "wt=xml&fl=uid,score&rows=%u&sort=uid+asc&q=%%7b!lucene+q.op%%3dAND%%7d", - status.uidnext); + I_MIN(status.uidnext,SOLR_MAX_MULTI_ROWS)); prefix_len = str_len(str); if (solr_add_definite_query_args(str, args, and_args)) { John

Can't log in from Evolution or Roundcube

When I try to log in to my mail server (ubuntu 20.04, Postfix 3.4.13, Dovecot 2.3.7.2) I get a response saying "Source stream returned no data”. At least to me, that's not particularly informative. Is it any more informative to anyone else? Ken

Sv: banning
by Sebastian Nielsen 08 Jan '22

08 Jan '22

I would say, lock accounts to for example IP address, ASN or GeoIP. This can be accomplished simply by a custom login handler, which also checks IP against database. And first time users, and those who change country/ISP/IP have to simply logon to a web interface (where 2FA can be required and also Captcha) and add their IPs/ASNs/Geo's. For a larger user base, I would recommend GeoIP and no web interface, save country of first login to database, and subsequent logins must originate from same country. Users that want to reset have to contact support. If you are a web hotel who only sell service to a specific country at all, lock the ports in firewall to that GeoIP. For smaller user base, like 50-100 users, I would recommend locking to ASN and providing a web interface where multiple ASN can be added. So people syncing from mobile and home can succeed. For very small user base, like 10's of users, just plan lock to IP. By connecting IP to accounts, you greatly reduce the attack surface.

I reinstalled Dovecot this evening, because I haven't been able to receive emails recently. After configuring and adjusting for the use of PostfixAdmin, I get the following error message in Evolution:; Failed to open folder. The reported error was "Failed to authenticate: TLS connection closed unexpectedly". Does anyone recognize this error? Ken

Hi, after updating from dovecot.x86_64 2:2.3.16-2 to 2:2.3.17.1-1 on AlmaLinux 8 my dovecot replication stopped working.

feature-request: make received-header on submission optional or at least drop the ip in it
by dc-ml＠dvl.werbittewas.de 07 Jan '22

07 Jan '22

hi. we're just trying to re-structure a system and want to use dovcots submission-ability. because the github-repository have no entry for any issues at all, we're sending this feature-fequest to this ML. unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any option to drop the received-header at all or at least hide the IP of the user. because the client-ip is covered by GDPR as personal data and so it should never shown to others without a certain reason, we want to hide it, but there's no "submission_add_received_header"-option like for lmtp and it doesn't seem to be any other option to hide this information. maybe this is possible to implement in near future? thanks a lot. best regards d.

Dovecot fixing maildir message size?
by Grant Keller 07 Jan '22

07 Jan '22

We recently updated dovecot from 2.1.17 to 2.3.10. It used to be when we encountered the following error: Jan 6 15:29:20 d.imapd.sonic.net dovecot: imap(momomo): session=aBd2O/LULMu4F6ia Error: Mailbox INBOX: UID=1: read(/var/spool/mail/07/00/momomo/cur/1510707300.12345_0.a.spam,S=1234:2,) failed: Cached message size larger than expected (1234 > 704, box=INBOX, UID=1) (read reason=) Dovecot would fix the size by renaming the file. Now this doesn't appear to be the case. Was there a change in behaviour, or is there an option I need to enable now to have dovecot auto fix this?

Doveadm auth test fails

I've been having trouble logging into my email server (postfix 3.4.13, dovecot 2.3.7.2, postfixadmin 3.3.8). I decided to try the doveadm auth test, and got the following result: kwright@grace:~$ sudo doveadm auth test me(a)mydomain.com Password: passdb: me(a)mydomain.com auth failed extra fields: user=me(a)mydomain.com I logged in to PostfixAdmin and made sure I was using the correct password, but got exactly the same result afterward. Should I have restarted Dovecot after changing the password? I'm totally confused by this problem; any and all suggestions will be gratefully received! Ken

Enable push notifications for all users
by Felix Ingram 06 Jan '22

06 Jan '22

Hello all, Is there a way to enable push notifications for all users, rather than having to enable them one by one? My thinking was to set mail_attribute_dict to a static file but I can’t work out what I would need to put in it. (I’ve now realised that that will not allow me to have other attributes to be different per user, but that’s not a real issue with my use case) If a flat file isn’t the answer, then is a SQL dict my best bet? Thanks in advance, Felix

Hi Alex, thanks for your answer, I think this could be related to Dovecot version in use, in our case it is the same: 2.3.4.1 (f79e8e7e4).

master: service(imap): child xxxx killed with signal 11
by Lukas Matasovsky 02 Jan '22

02 Jan '22

Dear Maintainer, I have several dovecot installations, all of them stopped working with the upgrade from .16 to .17. Maybe I am missing something, or it's a bug. All I can see is a signal 11 after each login attempt. Attached you can find a sysreport plus a core dump, both from different states of configuration (I reverted the core-dump settings later on) of the same server, but the effect has been the same ever since upgrading. I have other servers that use pam (not mariadb) and local maildirs that show the same behavior. For now, I have downgraded all servers, if needed I could run some more tests. Thank you for checking & cheers, Lukas

Dovecot Docker Image Volumes
by Thomas Bellebaum 02 Jan '22

02 Jan '22

Hello there and happy new year, I have a question/request regarding the Docker Image hosted at https://hub.docker.com/r/dovecot/dovecot. The Dockerfile itself declares two volumes: - `/etc/dovecot` for configuration data - `/srv/mail` for mail storage It seems inconvenient in some cases to have the image create these volumes, especially in case of the former. Consider a minimal Dockerfile like the following: ``` FROM dovecot/dovecot:latest COPY dovecot.conf /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf ``` This creates a new image building on top of the official one, which has statically configured configuration, and thus does not need to save its config in a volume. Yet currently, since the base image exports volumes, a config volume is created. A user might also choose to save mail in a different directory or even in a remote SQL database, rendering the second volume unnecessary. I would like to know a bit about the reasons for declaring the volumes, and suggest removing the line, should this be an option. Some impact considerations: - Removing the volumes for future image versions will not impact existing deployments building on tags other than `latest`. - As the default (example) configuration is not very useful for non-test-setups, most people have probably assigned the config volume explicitly, e.g. using docker's `-v` option. These people will also not be affected. - The description explicitly states to mount `/srv/mail/`, but some people might rely on the the automatic volume creation nonetheless. - Some obscure proprietary scripts may rely on the current behavior. In any case, if the volumes are no longer declared, the image description should mention that the mail storage location (the default being `/var/mail`) must be saved e.g. by using volumes, and probably also that the configuration is expected at `/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf`. Stay healthy and have a nice day, -- Thomas Bellebaum <thomas(a)bellebaum.eu>

Add arm64 support to docker image
by alpe 01 Jan '22

01 Jan '22

I think the issue is here: ADD https://github.com/krallin/tini/releases/download/v0.19.0/tini /sbin/tini # buildkit tini has arm64 (and others) version. So it should be easy to make the container work with arm.

modernizing dovecot.conf
by Laura Steynes 30 Dec '21

30 Dec '21

Happy Holidays, And if you like me are working throughout so more senior engineers get their holidays, my condolences hah Taking the time to bring our dovecot.conf into the 2021/22 era .since its quiet time of year, Do I read it right that where we have things like service imap { process_limit = 1024 executable = imap imap-postlogin are not needed now ? and process limit is a global option? things like pop3/imap_client_workarounds = fooy are now global options, not to be in protocol { } sections ? I am reading the example conf files and see these outside the protocol sections where they have in the past lived, this is what makes me think they are now global and not needed in sub sections. but I may be missing some linking going from file to file , we have forever updated our single config file, just fixing whatever breaks when major versions break something, easier to find options in one file, rather than trying to sift through 40 included files like I am looking at now :-)

Six failed tests on openindiana (Opensolaris derivative)
by Friedrich Kink 29 Dec '21

29 Dec '21

Hi all, I'm new to this list, so please forgive me if I violate netiquette (and let me know how to improve, because it is not at all my intent). I want to create two packages (dovecot and dovecot-2.3-pigeonhole) hosted by openindiana.org. First of all, everything compiles fine and works as expected, but (there is always a but ;-)) 6 out of 41540 tests failed. To build a clean package I'd like to understand the nature of the failed tests and even more would like to fix the tests. I tried to find some hints how to tackle down the issue but was not successful so far. dovecot version 2.3.17.1, gcc version (OpenIndiana 7.5.0-il-0) 7.5.0 configure options: --sysconfdir=/etc \ --with-gssapi=plugin \ --with-ldap=plugin \ --with-sql=plugin \ --with-lua=plugin \ --with-ssl=openssl \ --with-sodium \ --with-mysql \ --with-pgsql failed tests: array_free ........................................................... : ok $(SOURCE_DIR)/src/lib/test-backtrace.c:21: Assert failed: strstr(str_c(bt), "main") != NULL backtrace_append ..................................................... : FAILED $(SOURCE_DIR)/src/lib/test-backtrace.c:45: Assert failed: strstr(bt, "main") != NULL backtrace_get ........................................................ : FAILED base32_encode() with padding ......................................... : ok buffer_replace() ..................................................... : ok $(SOURCE_DIR)/src/lib/test-buffer-istream.c:55: Assert failed: buffer_append_full_file(result, TEST_FILENAME, SIZE_MAX, &error) == BUFFER_APPEND_READ_ERROR $(SOURCE_DIR)/src/lib/test-buffer-istream.c:56: Assert failed: error != NULL && *error != '\0' buffer_append_full_file .............................................. : FAILED buffer_append_full_istream ........................................... : ok connection idle kill ................................................. : ok $(SOURCE_DIR)/src/lib/test-connection.c:563: Assert failed: !received_quit $(SOURCE_DIR)/src/lib/test-connection.c:563: Assert failed: !received_quit connection handshake failed (version) ................................ : FAILED connection handshake failed (handshake_args) ......................... : ok file_cache_switch_fd ................................................. : ok $(SOURCE_DIR)/src/lib-test/test-common.c:245: Assert failed: suppress == TRUE Error: fstat(.test_file_cache) failed: Bad file number $(SOURCE_DIR)/src/lib-test/test-common.c:245: Assert failed: suppress == TRUE Error: mmap_anon(.test_file_cache, 4096) failed: Not enough space $(SOURCE_DIR)/src/lib-test/test-common.c:245: Assert failed: suppress == TRUE Error: mremap_anon(.test_file_cache, 8192) failed: Not enough space file_cache_errors .................................................... : FAILED file_create_locked() ................................................. : ok ostream file send istream file ....................................... : ok $(SOURCE_DIR)/src/lib/test-ostream-file.c:172: Assert failed: input2->v_offset == 10 $(SOURCE_DIR)/src/lib/test-ostream-file.c:173: Assert failed: output->offset == 14 ostream file send istream sendfile() ................................. : FAILED ostream multiplex (simple) ........................................... : ok Again, compilation works clean without any warning. If you could provide some hints how to start would be great. I know I'm kind of inch picker but want to provide best experience to possible users and not give any chance to complain back to dovecot community. kind regards, Fritz

Undefined symbol using fts-flatcurve with repo.dovecot.org packages
by Mike Acar 18 Dec '21

18 Dec '21

Hi, I'm trying to use dovecot-fts-flatcurve with dovecot 2:2.3.15-1+debian10 from repo.dovecot.org, but it looks like the package doesn't include ICU, which fts-flatcurve requires. After compilation and installation, I get an error from doveadm: doveadm fts-flatcurve stats -u user INBOX Fatal: Couldn't load required plugin /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lib21_fts_flatcurve_plugin.so: dlopen() failed: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lib21_fts_flatcurve_plugin.so: undefined symbol: _ZTIN6icu_638ByteSinkE Unmangled, I think that's this symbol: U typeinfo for icu_63::ByteSink I checked the rules file from dovecot_2.3.15-1%2Bdebian10.debian.tar.xz and it appears that configure doesn't include --with-icu. Is there a plan to include this in a future release? -- | Mike Acar | | mike at waspfactory dot org |

Can dovecot be leveraged to exploit Solr/Log4shell?
by Joseph Tam 15 Dec '21

15 Dec '21

I'm surprised I haven't seen this mentioned yet. An internet red alert went out Friday on a new zero-day exploit. It is an input validation problem where Java's Log4j module can be instructed via a specially crafted string to fetch and execute code from a remote LDAP server. It has been designated the Log4shell exploit (CVE-2021-44228). Although I don't use it, I immediately thought of Solr, which provides some dovecot installations with search indexing. Can dovecot be made to pass on arbitrary loggable strings to affected versions of Solr (7.4.0-7.7.3, 8.0.0-8.11.0)? Those running Solr to implement Dovecot FTS should look at https://solr.apache.org/security.html#apache-solr-affected-by-apache-log4j-… Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

quota warnings not sent out anymore
by mj 15 Dec '21

15 Dec '21

Hi, We suddenly realised that our maildir quota warnings are no longer sent out. We don't understand why not. This is dovecot 2.3.4.1 on debian 10.11. We use a script to send out the notification, adapted from the dovecot wiki here: (https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/quota/) Our quota notification script is: > #!/bin/sh > PERCENT=$1 > USER=$2 > cat << EOF | /usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda -d $USER -o "plugin/quota=maildir::noenforcing" > From: noreply(a)domain.com > Subject: quota warning > > Your mailbox is now $PERCENT% full. > > Please delete or archive items to decrease your mailbox size. Our complete doveconf -n output is at the end of this email. When calling the script manually as user root, it works perfectly. But as user vmail or dovecot, no notifications are sent at all.

dovecot-2.3.17: "Panic: file ioloop.c: line 865"
by Piper Andreas 14 Dec '21

14 Dec '21

Hello, since the upgrade from dovecot-2.3.16 to 2.3.17 I get 'Panic'-errors in the system-log of my replicator hosts. See below for log messages, doveconf-output and gdb-backtrace. Storage filesystem is ZFS. The error seems to be correlated with exactly one user-mailbox, this user is repeatedly noted as 'failed' in replication status, although replication of this mailbox seems to work, as the mailbox status shows always the identical size on both replicators. The error can be produced by forcing replication of this individual mailbox. Is there anything I can do to repair this mailbox? Thanks for any hints, Andreas Example log-messages: Nov 11 07:17:50 vhrz311 dovecot: doveadm(119455): Error: write(<local>) failed: Timed out after 60 seconds Nov 11 07:17:50 vhrz311 dovecot: doveadm(119455): Panic: file ioloop.c: line 865 (io_loop_destroy): assertion failed: (ioloop == cur rent_ioloop) Nov 11 07:17:50 vhrz311 dovecot: doveadm(119455): Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(backtrace_append+0x42) [0x7 f4e59419182] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(backtrace_get+0x1e) [0x7f4e5941929e] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0xf8a5e) [0x7f4e59427a5e] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0xf8b01) [0x7f4e59427b01] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_fatal+0) [0x7f 4e593744a7] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_destroy+0x2dc) [0x7f4e5944121c] -> dovecot/doveadm-server(+0x46fb6) [0x563d0 150ffb6] -> dovecot/doveadm-server(doveadm_print+0x27) [0x563d01508fb7] -> dovecot/doveadm-server(+0x2b427) [0x563d014f4427] -> dove cot/doveadm-server(+0x2da44) [0x563d014f6a44] -> dovecot/doveadm-server(doveadm_cmd_ver2_to_mail_cmd_wrapper+0x2cf) [0x563d014f7c6f] -> dovecot/doveadm-server(doveadm_cmd_run_ver2+0x43b) [0x563d01508c1b] -> dovecot/doveadm-server(+0x44612) [0x563d0150d612] -> /usr /lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_call_io+0x69) [0x7f4e594406d9] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run_internal +0x134) [0x7f4e59442034] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0x50) [0x7f4e594407e0] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovec ot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x38) [0x7f4e59440a18] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(master_service_run+0x13) [0x7f4e593a6a23] -> dovecot/ doveadm-server(main+0x102) [0x563d014e6922] -> /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe7) [0x7f4e58bc1bf7] -> dovecot/d oveadm-server(_start+0x2a) [0x563d014e69aa] Nov 11 07:17:50 vhrz311 dovecot: doveadm(119455): Fatal: master: service(doveadm): child 119455 killed with signal 6 (core dumped) 'doveconf -n': #

Dovecot, Solr (FTS) and iOS body search
by Ben Howard 13 Dec '21

13 Dec '21

I had a question about full text search with Dovecot, Solr with iOS as a client (the built in default mail client). Does anyone happen to know if it's possible to get the iOS mail client to search bodies of email via IMAP with Dovecot and Solr on the server? I've looked at the IMAP queries being sent to Solr and regardless of iOS settings only the subject or to/cc/from seem to get queried. i.e.: test search query: Foobar Request [dovecot] webapp=/solr path=/select params={q={!lucene+q.op%3DAND}subject:Foobar&fl=uid,score&sort=uid+asc (trimmed for space) test search query with 'message' selected as search via the GUI in iOS mail app: Foobar 2021-12-12 22:16:43.840 INFO (qtp1309129055-21) [ x:dovecot] o.a.s.c.S.Request [dovecot] webapp=/solr path=/select params={q={!lucene+q.op%3DAND}to:Foobar+OR+cc:Foobar+OR+from:Foobar+OR+subject:Foobar&fl=uid,score&sort=uid+asc (trimmed for space) I also put Wireshark between an iOS device and the mail server to see the IMAP commands being issued client side and it matches with what Dovecot is seeing - i.e. only to/cc/from/subject no body queries. dovecot version: 2.3.17.1 (476cd46418), solr 8.11.0 and fts_enforced = yes Is it just not possible for the iOS mail client to search for keywords within the body of emails via IMAP/Dovecot/Solr? Any pointers, or just knowing I should give up, would be most gratefully received. Thanks

Send to mailbox + alias??
by postfix＠aecperformance.com 12 Dec '21

12 Dec '21

Is there any way to set postfix/dovecot to: 1. Deliver email to the mailbox -> ie. bob(a)test.com <mailto:bob@test.com> AND 2. Set the email as an alias and send it to the forwarded address -> bobs.boss(a)bosses.com <mailto:bobs.boss@bosses.com> This would be given that both email accounts are set up as virtual_users in MySql. Right now if I set up an alias and mailbox for the same email the alias overrides the mailbox and the email is delivered to the forwarded account and not to the email's mailbox. If the mailbox exists I need the email sent to both the mailbox and the forwarded mailbox. Can I do that? If so, how?

Hello!

This is a 2.3.17 regression. Tracking internally as DOP-2659./ / Regards, Stephan./ But what exactly does your answer mean for those affected? That all users who use Dovecot and use the whole thing without "mail_home" and only with "mail_location", must wait until a BugFix appears to be able to receive emails again? Thanks in advance and have a nice advent sunday Volker P. S.: In my case dovecot -n shows /mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/vhosts/%d/%n// //mail_home = /var/mail/vhosts/%d/%n /so mail_home is even set!/ /
