Hi John, You are right this was not a dovecot solr query. It is really strange everything seems to work with Dovecot 2.3.4. E.g. search and rebuilding index from scratch using doveadm. As soon as I use version 2.3.13 things are getting wild: dovecot crashed when I re-scan the index using doveadm and search does not work anymore, after re-scan: Panic: file http-client-request.c: line 1240 (http_client_request_send_more): assertion failed: (req->payload_input != NULL) doveadm(krone(a)invectrix.ch): Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(backtrace_append+0x42) [0x7fc54cace4e2] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(backtrace_get+0x1e) [0x7fc54cace5fe] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0xfc49b) [0x7fc54cada49b] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0xfc4d1) [0x7fc54cada4d1] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x53aee) [0x7fc54ca31aee] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x4aec2) [0x7fc54ca28ec2] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(http_client_connection_output+0xee) [0x7fc54ca7ebde] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x122171) [0x7fc54cb00171] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_call_io+0x69) [0x7fc54caeff59] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run_internal+0x132) [0x7fc54caf1592] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0x50) [0x7fc54caf0000] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x40) [0x7fc54caf01c0] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x9c4cd) [0x7fc54ca7a4cd] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(http_client_request_finish_payload+0x2c) [0x7fc54ca7a6dc] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lib20_fts_plugin.so(+0xf243) [0x7fc54c0a6243] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lib20_fts_plugin.so(fts_parser_more+0x25) [0x7fc54c0a5345] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lib20_fts_plugin.so(+0xbfcf) [0x7fc54c0a2fcf] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lib20_fts_plugin.so(fts_build_mail+0xa27) [0x7fc54c0a3a87] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lib20_fts_plugin.so(+0x11f0b) [0x7fc54c0a8f0b] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_precache+0x2e) [0x7fc54cbf14ae] -> doveadm(+0x3761f) [0x55d18bdbf61f] -> doveadm(+0x31bad) [0x55d18bdb9bad] -> doveadm(+0x32860) [0x55d18bdba860] -> doveadm(doveadm_cmd_ver2_to_mail_cmd_wrapper+0x22d) [0x55d18bdbb4ad] -> doveadm(doveadm_cmd_run_ver2+0x4c8) [0x55d18bdcbb88] -> doveadm(doveadm_cmd_try_run_ver2+0x3a) [0x55d18bdcbbda] -> doveadm(main+0x1d0) [0x55d18bdaa450] -> /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xea) [0x7fc54c69fd0a] -> doveadm(_start+0x2a) [0x55d18bdaa92a] and solr: 2022-01-03 00:13:20.829 ERROR (qtp1991278377-21) [ x:dovecot] o.a.s.s.HttpSolrCall null:[com.ctc.wstx.exc.WstxLazyException] com.ctc.wstx.exc.WstxIOException: Early EOF ....

Can't connect to database
by Ken Wright 03 Jan '22

03 Jan '22

Dovecot has been giving me problems for the past week or so. Today the error log showed me this: Jan 2 13:33:39 grace dovecot: auth-worker(3250): Error: mysql(localhost): Connect failed to database (postfix): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) - waiting for 5 seconds before retry The socket is there, showing full permissions (rwx for owner, group, and rest of the universe) so I can't understand why dovecot can't connect. Is there anyone who can help? Ken

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>

Permission denied

My server has been running just fine for over a year, until I upgraded PostfixAdmin and somehow messed things up. Now I can't log in, and my mail client (Evolution, if it matters) keeps popping up an authentication request. The server is Ubuntu 20.04, my Dovecot is version 2.3.7.2, and Evolution is 3.40.4-1. I've also tried logging in with Roundcube with no success. Any insight or suggestions will be gratefully received! Here's the most recent entry from /var/log/mail.err: Dec 28 22:05:02 grace dovecot: lmtp(me(a)mydomain.com)<910309><SOFiMl7Qy2Hl4w0AThsuZQ>: Error: lmtp- server: conn unix:pid=906625,uid=117 [6]: rcpt me(a)mydomain.com: Mailbox INBOX: open(/var/mail/vmail/me(a)mydomain.com/tmp/1640747102.M850878P910309.grac ) failed: Permission denied Any further information available upon request!

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

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. I guess this is relevant: > root@dovecot:/etc/dovecot# ls -l /var/run/dovecot/ > total 8 > srw------- 1 root root 0 Dec 6 00:00 anvil > srw------- 1 root root 0 Dec 6 00:00 anvil-auth-penalty > srw------- 1 dovecot root 0 Dec 6 11:34 auth-client > srw------- 1 dovecot root 0 Dec 6 11:34 auth-login > srw------- 1 root root 0 Dec 6 11:34 auth-master > -rw------- 1 root root 32 Jul 19 17:39 auth-token-secret.dat > srw-rw-rw- 1 vmail vmail 0 Dec 6 11:34 auth-userdb > srw------- 1 dovecot root 0 Dec 6 11:34 auth-worker > srw------- 1 root root 0 Dec 6 11:34 config > srw-rw---- 1 root dovecot 0 Dec 6 11:34 dict > srw-rw---- 1 root dovecot 0 Dec 6 11:34 dict-async > srw------- 1 root root 0 Dec 6 11:34 director-admin > srw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Dec 6 11:34 dns-client > srw------- 1 root root 0 Dec 6 11:34 doveadm-server > lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Dec 6 00:00 dovecot.conf -> /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf > drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 40 Jul 19 17:39 empty > srw-rw---- 1 root dovecot 0 Dec 6 11:34 imap-hibernate > srw------- 1 root root 0 Dec 6 11:34 imap-master > srw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Dec 6 11:34 imap-urlauth > srw------- 1 dovecot root 0 Dec 6 11:34 imap-urlauth-worker > srw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Dec 6 11:34 indexer > srw------- 1 dovecot root 0 Dec 6 11:34 indexer-worker > srw------- 1 dovecot root 0 Dec 6 11:34 ipc > srw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Dec 6 11:34 lmtp > srw------- 1 root root 0 Dec 6 11:34 log-errors > drwxr-x--- 2 root nogroup 120 Dec 6 11:34 login > srw------- 1 root root 0 Dec 6 11:34 master > -rw------- 1 root root 6 Dec 6 00:00 master.pid > srw------- 1 root root 0 Dec 6 11:34 old-stats > prw------- 1 root root 0 Dec 6 11:34 old-stats-mail > prw------- 1 root root 0 Dec 6 11:34 old-stats-user > srw------- 1 vmail root 0 Dec 6 11:34 quota-warning > srw------- 1 root root 0 Dec 6 11:34 replication-notify > prw------- 1 root root 0 Dec 6 11:34 replication-notify-fifo > srw------- 1 dovecot root 0 Dec 6 11:34 replicator > srw-rw---- 1 vmail vmail 0 Dec 6 11:34 stats-reader > srw-rw---- 1 vmail vmail 0 Dec 6 11:34 stats-writer > drwxr-x--- 2 root nogroup 80 Dec 6 11:34 token-login Can anyone help, and explain what is going on here?

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

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?

2.3.17: Panic on LMTP deliveries

Hello! While searching for an explanation for the fact that after updating to Dovecot 2.3.17_1 (FreeBSD 12.2) I suddenly stopped receiving emails and following error messages appeared in the dovecot.log, /Error: lmtp-server: conn unix:uid=125 [1]: rcpt user(a)domain.tld: duplicate db: User user(a)domain.tld doesn't have home dir set, disabling duplicate database// // //Dec 12 08:42:54 lmtp(user(a)domain.tld)<80363><z7AxDf6ntWHrOQEAp6O1gg>: Panic: file imem.c: line 65 (i_strconcat): assertion failed: (str1 != NULL) /I found your answer here <https://www.mail-archive.com/dovecot@dovecot.org/msg84893.html>: /Problem confirmed. 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!/ /

RE: virtual mailbox domains??

Thanks *so much* for all your help. Another complete rebuild and I think I’ve finally got it. I was able to log into mail.sizzelicks.com for smoker1(a)sizzelicks.com <mailto:smoker1@sizzelicks.com> this time with no trouble. I sent an email to smoker1(a)sizzelicks.com <mailto:smoker1@sizzelicks.com> from a gmail account and was able to retrieve it in Thunderbird. I replied to the gmail email and in gmail.com I got the response. Now I can add email accounts to the database for any of our domains and they work! I've added responses below. -----Original Message----- From: owner-postfix-users(a)postfix.org <owner-postfix-users(a)postfix.org> On Behalf Of raf Sent: Thursday, December 9, 2021 1:07 AM To: postfix-users(a)postfix.org Subject: Re: virtual mailbox domains??

The reference to private/auth is referring to dovecot's authentication socket under postfix's chroot directory. It's in /var/spool/postfix/private/auth, not /etc/postfix. You have set that up in dovecot's config: service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0666 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-userdb { mode = 0600 user = vmail } user = dovecot } My version of that looks like: service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { mode = 0666 } } So it looks like that should be OK. Does /var/spool/postfix/private/auth exist? Mine has root as owner/group. Yours should have postfix as owner/group. But that shouldn't matter as long as the mode is 0666. I must of changed the mode to 0660 but per your suggestion I changed it to 0666. Thanks. Yes it does exist. ls -l /var/spool/postfix/private/auth srw-rw---- 1 postfix postfix 0 Dec 8 21:50 /var/spool/postfix/private/auth If not, check dovecot's log messages for problems with it. But I don't know what to look for. The dovecot mailing list folks might be more useful for that. It should exist and be used by dovecot. If you have lsof installed, you can check that: > sudo lsof /var/spool/postfix/private/auth COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME dovecot 17341 root 53u unix 0xffff8e43c69f7400 0t0 16873340 /var/spool/postfix/private/auth type=STREAM auth 1521507 dovecot 13u unix 0xffff8e43c69f7400 0t0 16873340 /var/spool/postfix/private/auth type=STREAM auth 1521507 dovecot 21u unix 0xffff8e43c417c800 0t0 69451443 /var/spool/postfix/private/auth type=STREAM auth 1521507 dovecot 22u unix 0xffff8e43c9fc2400 0t0 69453124 /var/spool/postfix/private/auth type=STREAM sudo lsof /var/spool/postfix/private/auth COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME dovecot 4550 root 58u unix 0x0000000000000000 0t0 1305802532 /var/spool/postfix/private/auth type=STREAM Something else that might or might not be a (different) problem is that the TLS certificate at mail.sizzlelicks.com doesn't certify the domain mail.sizzlelicks.com. Its list of domains contains sizzelicks.com and <http://www.sizzelicks.com> www.sizzelicks.com but not mail.sizzelicks.com. That might cause problems with Thunderbird trying to connect for IMAPS. I think you reported such an error message earlier. So you might want to add the mail.sizzelicks.com domain to that certificate. But that's not related to the failure to connect to the dovecot auth socket. You are correct and I sure wish I saw *this* a week ago😊. I did a rebuild due to lots of trouble trying to add the certs. Now I’ve got it all back up with the certificates for all of the mail.mydomain.com MX records.

Force clients to use pgp encryption when sending email?
by Austin Witmer 09 Dec '21

09 Dec '21

Hello all! I am looking for a way to force imap clients to encrypt their messages with the public keys of the recipients before sending them. Would a post-login script in dovecot work for something like this? I am using postfix and dovecot on my mail server. Basically I want the server to check if the message being sent is encrypted with OpenGPG and either proceed or reject the message based on that criteria. If the message is rejected, the user could then encrypt the outgoing email message with the recipient public key and try again. Does anybody have a suggestion on how to implement something like this? Would there be a way that the the client software (thunderbird) could show an alert asking the user to encrypt the message and then attempt to resend the message? I realize that you can tell a client (like thunderbird) to automatically encrypt outgoing messages with pgp but I would like to have some way to enforce that policy at the server level before the email is sent. I want to have all messages end-to-end encrypted, hence my desire for functionality like this. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance for your help!

No source packages in APT repo?
by Shawn Heisey 08 Dec '21

08 Dec '21

I added a deb-src entry to my APT config matching the deb entry: deb https://repo.dovecot.org/ce-2.3-latest/ubuntu/focal focal main deb-src https://repo.dovecot.org/ce-2.3-latest/ubuntu/focal focal main When this is there, I see a warning when running "apt update". W: Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/source/Sources' as repository 'https://repo.dovecot.org/ce-2.3-latest/ubuntu/focal focal InRelease' does not seem to provide it (sources.list entry misspelt?) Were source packages excluded deliberately? The github repo for dovecot does not have a "debian" directory, which is the other route that would allow me to build packages. Thanks, Shawn

Hello, dovecot --version 2.3.17 (e2aa53df5b) debug log: Debug: duplicate db: transaction: Too many duplicate IDs locked Debug: duplicate db: transaction: Check ID: too many IDs locked - .sieve with 100+ redirects ( 201 actually ) #define DUPLICATE_LOCK_MAX_LOCKS 100 It's not corresponding with sieve_max_redirects = 310 or sieve_max_actions = 320 On dovecot 2.3.16 version DUPLICATE_LOCK_MAX_LOCKS is not implemented and redirects work correctly. Thank you. Vladimir Gulas.

app-specific passwords for dovecot
by mj 08 Dec '21

08 Dec '21

Hi all, I have read these documents on the subject of app-specific passwords: > https://www.dgsiegel.net/news/2013_05_21-application_specific_passwords_for… > https://www.happyassassin.net/posts/2014/08/26/adding-application-specific-… But since both articles are rather old, I'd like to ask if there are other/new ways of implementing app-specific passwords for dovecot/imap and postfix/smtp. Also perhaps (web?) GUI's exist, to make it possible for the users themselves to generate/edit those passwords..? Thanks for your suggestions! MJ

vsz_limit
by Daniel Miller 07 Dec '21

07 Dec '21

I just noticed, that when checking "doveconf -a" - all vsz_limit settings that are not explicitly given have a value of: 18446744073709551615 B I have this on two servers, one with an implicit default_vsz_limit=256M, the other with an explicit default_vsz_limit=2G. Is this correct? -- Daniel

LDAP and user duplicated with replication
by Claudio Corvino 07 Dec '21

07 Dec '21

Hi, I have two IMAP/LMTP Dovecot server in replica (version 2.3.4.1), I use LDAP/AD for /userdb, /replica is working. When I do a search like: /doveadm replicator status '*'/ I receive user duplicated, with and without the domain part, for example: /test/ /test(a)domain.com/ but they are the same user; this lead the replicator doing twice the work of replication. I think this is related to //etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf/ that is configured in this way: /hosts = xxx/ /base = dc=xxx,dc=xxx ldap_version=3 auth_bind = yes dn = cn=xxx,cn=Users,dc=xxx,dc=xxx dnpass = xxx scope = subtree user_attrs = sAMAccountName=home=/mnt/mail-storage-lv0007/%$,=uid=501,=gid=501 pass_attrs = sAMAccountName=user user_filter = (&(objectclass=person)(samaccountname=%n)) pass_filter= (&(objectclass=person)(samaccountname=%n)) iterate_attrs = sAMAccountName=user # With following filter we exclude all objects without an email address, all computers and all inactive accounts / /iterate_filter = (&(objectCategory=person)(mail=*)(objectClass=user)(!(userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2))) / I think that *iterate_attrs* and *iterate_filter* should be fixed, but I don't know how/./ Please could someone give me any hints? Thanks/ / Regards/ /

public folders, ACLs
by Stefan G. Weichinger 06 Dec '21

06 Dec '21

greetings ... I got the following request from a customer where we run dovecot-2.3.15 on a debian server: They have a public folder with all their project-related subfolders inside: namespace { location = maildir:/home/vmail/oeffentlich prefix = Oeffentlich/ separator = / subscriptions = yes type = public } So far we don't have the mail_plugin ACL enabled. They want to be able to create projectfolders that aren't move/delete/rename-able by the users, only by some admins. But the users should be allowed to move mails between different projectfolders etc As far as I understand we can do that with Dovecot ACLs (although I am still figuring out how to properly design them ...). My questions: * if I enable the mail_plugin for ACLs, does that in any way change the behavior of existing mailboxes? afai understand: no. Only if ACL-lists exist in the various mailboxes, these get applied, right? I don't want to break things, and I want to avoid additional complexity for the non-public user mailboxes etc Maybe I can enable the plugin only for that public namespace? * maybe someone has a link to a similar setup? thanks in advance, Stefan

Re[5]: Replication weirdness
by Daniel Miller - CLOUD 05 Dec '21

05 Dec '21

Another update. I dug deeper into the mailboxes - and found the "subscriptions" and actual mailboxes weren't correct in all cases. I guess when I shifted to the explicit INBOX/ namespace not all the existing boxes migrated correctly. So...after manually correcting all the "subscription" files, and manually moving the duplicated "Archives" folders to the correct locations nearly all the errors have gone. I wish I'd gotten more inforrmative error messages, and processes certainly shouldn't have crashed, but since I obviously created the problem due to manually poking things and improper configuration I guess I can't complain too much. I still have problems using the "-N" flag for syncing - but things seem to be working with the multiple explicit "-n" namespaces. I do still have the locking error appearing during long-running syncs - I don't see why Dovecot doesn't know that it's already syncing a given user before trying to start a second process. Probably something else I setup wrong but I don't know what. -- Daniel

Replication weirdness
by Daniel Miller 04 Dec '21

04 Dec '21

First, I have to say this. After configuring everything correctly - and that means *everything* correctly - Dovecot replication Just Works. I'm not sure how (yes I do - Timo & Co. Magic) - but it does. Real-time new sync is near instantaneous. Now the problem. Or the background for the problem. My primary server uses sdbox for primary storage, mdbox for archival storage, and fts-solr. I spun up a second server, using sdbox, mdbox, and fts-flatcurve. My namespaces are as defined below. As best I can tell (based on diff comparing two 'doveconf -n' outputs) my namespaces are the same on both servers. namespace archives { list = children location = mdbox:/var/mail/%d/%n/Archives/mdbox mailbox Unsorted { auto = no special_use = \Archive } prefix = INBOX/Archives/ separator = / subscriptions = no type = private } namespace inbox { alias_for = hidden = no inbox = yes list = yes location = mailbox "Deleted Messages" { auto = no autoexpunge = 30 days special_use = \Trash } mailbox Drafts { auto = subscribe special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Sent { auto = subscribe special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { auto = subscribe autoexpunge = 30 days special_use = \Trash } prefix = INBOX/ separator = / subscriptions = no type = private } namespace lists { list = children location = mdbox:/var/mail/%d/%n/Lists/mdbox prefix = INBOX/Lists/ separator = / subscriptions = no type = private } namespace subscriptions { hidden = yes list = no location = prefix = separator = / subscriptions = yes type = private } namespace usershares { list = yes location = sdbox:/var/mail/%%d/%%n/sdbox:NO-NOSELECT prefix = INBOX/shared/%%d/%%n/ separator = / subscriptions = no type = shared } namespace virtual { list = children location = virtual:/var/mail/%d/%n/virtual mailbox Flagged { comment = All my flagged messages special_use = \Flagged } prefix = INBOX/virtual/ separator = / subscriptions = no } I also have: plugin { mailbox_alias_new = Sent Messages mailbox_alias_new2 = Sent Items mailbox_alias_new3 = Deleted Messages mailbox_alias_old = Sent mailbox_alias_old2 = Sent mailbox_alias_old3 = Trash } This setup worked fine with my single server. Then I enabled replication - just on the primary. Dsync went to work (it seemed to take forever for the initial sync but that's what happens with large mailboxes and slow internet connections). The problem came up with certain subfolders. And I believe it only happens with subfolders that have spaces in their names. I had two user's mailboxes (under Sent), one of which had a "Sent Messages" symlink alias for "Sent", that started generating tens or hundreds of duplicates during sync. Fortunately those subfolders only had a few mails in them.

Searching 30 GB mailbox
by Einar Bjarni Halldórsson 03 Dec '21

03 Dec '21

Hi, We're migrating our mailboxes from Zimbra to dovecot, running on FreeBSD 12.2. We're using mdbox and solr for fts. dovecot version 2.3.17. One of our mailboxes gets a bcc of every outgoing mail from our system and it currently holds ~4.5 million messages taking 30 GB. One of the ways we use the mailbox is that when outgoing mail is sent, we store the Message-ID in our database, and in our admin interface we can open the mail and it's fetched from IMAP by doing a 'SEARCH HEADER Message-ID <MSG_ID>'. In Zimbra this was reasonably fast, but after migrating the mailbox to dovecot it's 30 seconds which I think we can reduce. After turning on mail_debug I see this in our log https://pastebin.com/kP9H7gSB Looks like solr finishes searching instantly, then there's ~30 seconds of silence in the logs, and then more log lines about fetching data from mail cache. The same thing happens if I use telnet and just issue a 'SEARCH HEADER...' command. How can I find out what dovecot is doing in those 30 seconds? .einar

Issue with SCRAM-SHA Authorization
by Thomas Schmid 03 Dec '21

03 Dec '21

Hi, I was debugging a bug report for my sieve editor implementation concerning an issue with SCRAM-SHA Authorization. But I am a bit unsure about my findings. It seems to be a server side bug. But I am wondering if I missed something. What puzzles me a bit is that SCRAM-SHA is out since ages and obviously no one ran into this issue. Which feels odd. When I try to connect to a dovecot server with enabled Authorization, then SCRAM SHA1 or SHA256 fail with a channel binding error. Authorization via SASL PLAIN works perfectly fine. So I digged into the logs. The trace is below also my findings/conclusion. The username and authorization in the trace are set to "user" the password is "pencil".

This means c=bixhPXVzZXI decodes into. n,a=user, And this is where it gets strange. The dovecot code section which throws the error, implements the following: https://github.com/dovecot/core/blob/a5209c83c3a82386c94d466eec5fea394973e8… cbind_input = t_strconcat(request->gs2_cbind_flag, ",,", NULL); str = t_str_new(MAX_BASE64_ENCODED_SIZE(strlen(cbind_input))); str_append(str, "c="); base64_encode(cbind_input, strlen(cbind_input), str); if (strcmp(fields[0], str_c(str)) != 0) { *error_r = "Invalid channel binding data"; return FALSE; } As you can see it uses the bind flag which was saved to the request. But instead of the authzid, it uses always an hardcoded empty string. Thus cbind-input is "n,," instead of "n,a=user," and results in the request being rejected with an "Invalid channel binding data". Which is on the one hand a funny message because dovecot does not support channel binding at all, as describe in https://github.com/dovecot/core/blob/a5209c83c3a82386c94d466eec5fea394973e8… but it also on the other hand somehow correct because cbind-input string does not match. Which is an illegal state during channel binding negotiation which should not happen. As said previously, it looks to me like a server side bug. Or did I miss something special case in the RFC? Kind Regards Thomas Schmid

Hello Dovecot professionals, I have a working user authentication with LDAP, now I want to allow the users to use mailAterneteAddress for their account, unfortunately I can't find any filter settings for dovecot that this works? I just can't find the right settings for LDAP (FreeIPA). Does anyone of you have any hints or links so that I can get on with it. Somehow I don't understand how I can umconvigure the dovecot-ldap.conf.ext Thank you for your help. -- mit freundlichen Grüßen / best regards Günther J. Niederwimmer

Greetings all' Brand New today install of debian bullseye. I have looked at you doc pages, but don't see a good tut for a newbie to use for setting it up the first time ever. I have version 2.3.13 (89f716dc2) from the debian bullseye distro. What I want is to pull from my ISP account, which is also running dovecot, to a local mailfile. Or I can do that with fetchmail, its been doing that for a decade already. Its currently using procmail to run stuff thru spamassassin and clamd depositing the survivors into a /var/mail/mailfile, which the older tde kmail then pulled and sorted into folders holding maildirs. But I can't get tde to install on bullseye. Kudo's for any help you can supply. Cheers, Gene

execve(/usr/bin/sieve-test) failed: Argument list too long
by Patrick Cernko 03 Dec '21

03 Dec '21

Hi Dovecot developers, while debugging the above error message from sieve-test, I found out, that the content of directive ssl_ca is added as env var SSL_CA by doveconf on execve and sieve-test now uses doveconf. In our setup, ssl_ca is set to ssl_ca = </etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt on our director servers. We have backend servers with certificates signed by two different CAs and to avoid problems if a backend switches to a different CA, I decided to allow all "known" CAs. The corresponding env var SSL_CA has more than 230500 bytes, which causes execve to fail with error E2BIG. I found a workaround for the problem by setting ssl_ca = </etc/dovecot/backendCAs.pem Where this file contains only the two CAs used atm. However I would like to request a fix for this issue as others might also want to have all "known" CAs set for dovecot director backend connections.

Strategies for protecting IMAP (e.g. MFA)
by Tyler Montney 02 Dec '21

02 Dec '21

With the world of ransomware as it is today (aka attacks seem more vicious and commonplace), anything I expose to WAN must have additional protection. I've seen a few posts to this list on it. The only thing that helped was that Dovecot supports OAuth. Through OAuth I figure I could implement MFA. However, I'd have to host my own identity server. From there, Thunderbird supports OAuth so that should work. Since this is getting increasingly complicated, I wanted to ask before going further. What do you all do? Any recommendations?

Downloading mailbox from replica server
by Claudio Corvino 01 Dec '21

01 Dec '21

Hi, I have two IMAP/LMTP Dovecot server in replica (version 2.3.4.1) both connected through an IPsec tunnel, I use LDAP/AD for /userdb, /all seems to be working. I have a question: if I switch my Thunderbird/Outlook client to use the other server I have to download again all the emails, about 10 GB. Is there any way to avoid this? Do I have to download again all the folders every time I switch from node A to node B on my client? Thanks! Regards

Can't unsubscribe from public mailbox when dsync multi-master is enabled
by Salatiel Filho 25 Nov '21

25 Nov '21

Hello, I am trying to build a dovecot environment with 2 servers with dsync master<->master replication. Everything works just fine, one can login in any of the servers and see and manage their mails. The problem I see is that one can not unsubscribe from public mailboxes. Let's call the servers server1 and server2, both of them have an imap webui pointing to localhost, just to make the test easier. One subscribes to a public mailbox connected through the webui on server1. A few seconds later the same user can see the subscribed mailbox on the webui on server2 just as expected, but if he tries to unsubscribe it will not work. The public mailbox folder will still be subscribed to and visible. There is absolutely nothing on the logs, but I know it is related to the dsync replication because if I shutdown any of the servers, I will be able to unsubscribe just fine, UNTIL the shutdown server is powered back on and replication starts again, and, in this case, the previously unsubscribed public mailbox will just reappear. Is this a bug or am I missing something in my configuration? Thanks! # dovecot -n # 2.3.16 (7e2e900c1a): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.5.16 (09c29328) # OS: Linux 4.18.0-305.19.1.el8_4.x86_64 x86_64 auth_username_format = %Ln doveadm_password = # hidden, use -P to show it first_valid_uid = 1000 mail_debug = yes mail_home = /var/spool/imap/%n mail_location = maildir:/var/spool/imap/%n/mail:VOLATILEDIR=/var/spool/imap/%n mail_plugins = " notify replication" 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 { list = children location = maildir:/var/spool/imap/salas/mail/:INDEXPVT=/var/spool/imap/%n/pub-seen-idx/ mailbox * { autoexpunge = 60 days } prefix = salas/ separator = / subscriptions = no type = public } namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { auto = subscribe special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { auto = subscribe special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { auto = subscribe special_use = \Trash } prefix = separator = / } passdb { args = scheme=CRYPT username_format=%n /etc/dovecot/users driver = passwd-file } passdb { args = failure_show_msg=yes dovecot driver = pam } plugin { mail_replica = tcps:10.10.10.10:26 sieve = file:/var/spool/imap/%n/sieve;active=/var/spool/imap/%n/.dovecot.sieve sieve_before = /var/lib/dovecot/sieve.d/ sieve_global = /var/lib/dovecot/sieve.d/ } protocols = imap lmtp sieve replication_dsync_parameters = -d -N -l 10 -U service aggregator { fifo_listener replication-notify-fifo { mode = 0666 user = dovecot } unix_listener replication-notify { mode = 0666 user = dovecot } } service doveadm { inet_listener { port = 26 ssl = yes } } service replicator { process_min_avail = 1 unix_listener replicator-doveadm { mode = 0666 user = dovecot } } ssl = required ssl_ca = </etc/ssl/certs/mail-cluster-communication_ca.pem ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/mail-cluster-communication.crt ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it userdb { args = username_format=%n /etc/dovecot/users default_fields = uid=vmail gid=mail home=/var/spool/imap driver = passwd-file } userdb { driver = passwd override_fields = uid=vmail gid=mail home=/var/spool/imap/%n } protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = " notify replication sieve" } protocol imap { ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/salas.com.crt ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it }

Error: Mailbox INBOX sync: mailbox_delete failed: INBOX can't be deleted
by Jesús Ángel del Pozo 25 Nov '21

25 Nov '21

Hello, I know maildir format does not allow to delete INBOX as stated in https://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2016-January/102988.html. Nevertheless, even though I deleted the entire Maildir manually with rm -rf, doveadm backup fails with "Error: Mailbox INBOX sync: mailbox_delete failed: INBOX can't be deleted". I would like to make a user's maildir backup to a different folder. For example: rm -rf /tmp/zbbb/; doveadm backup -u test(a)disguised.domain.com maildir:/tmp/zbbb/ But I keep receiving this error message: Error: Mailbox INBOX sync: mailbox_delete failed: INBOX can't be deleted Do you know what might be causing this problem? If I use sdbox instead of maildir, the backup works: rm -rf /tmp/zbbb/; doveadm backup -u test(a)disguised.domain.com sdbox:/tmp/zbbb/ However, I would like to use maildir format for the backup as all my mailboxes use this format.

Hi, i have a question if someone can help me with this. My sieve file configuration is this: cat enabled_script.sieve require ["fileinto"]; if header :contains "subject" "@ggmaail.com" { fileinto "INBOX.Spam"; } elsif header :contains "subject" "TW" { discard; elsif header :contains :comparator "i;octet" "X-Spam-Status" "autolearn=spam" { discard; } When the condition is true and a mail is discard i can not discriminate in the logs what was the reason. 1) "subject" "@ggmail.com" or 2) "subject" "TW" I can only see this message over the logs: February 15th 2021, 17:39:33.000 lmtp(mail(a)mail.domain)<27188><kJhTEMWjKmA0agAAaUS+oQ>: sieve: msgid=<001701d703b9$234a8b80$69dfa280$(a)correo.es> <001701d703b9$234a8b80$69dfa280$(a)correo.es>: marked message to be discarded if not explicitly delivered (discard action) (Note: i changed the domain names) My question is: Can i setup or add any option in my sieve filter for more info about the discard reason ???

BUG: imapsieve with virtual mailboxes
by Claudemir Todo Bom 24 Nov '21

24 Nov '21

Hi, I've configured virtual mailboxes and it is working well, including the setting of the real mailbox that will receive messages moved to it. Problem starts when I try to use imapsieve plugin with this setup, I receive a panic on the log and the action isn't executed. To make the problem appears, all that its needed is to have a virtual folder defined with the real mailbox configured (! prefix on the virtual configuration file), having the imapsieve options enabled on dovecot configuration and a sieve script defined. Error occurs even if the sieve script is empty. This error was already reported back in 2017: https://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2017-September/109445.html This is the relevant configuration for imapsieve: plugin { imapsieve_mailbox1_before = file:/etc/wwmail/antispamsieve/learn.sieve imapsieve_mailbox1_causes = COPY APPEND imapsieve_mailbox1_name = * sieve_global_path = /var/lib/dovecot/sieve/default.sieve sieve_pipe_bin_dir = /etc/wwmail/antispamsieve/ sieve_plugins = sieve_imapsieve sieve_extprograms } This is the error received: Oct 27 16:25:06 lab dovecot: imap(monitor(a)lab.wwmail.app)<28726><ug8CjVrPIqoAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB>: Panic: file mail-index-map.c: line 558 (mail_index_map_lookup_seq_range): assertion failed: (first_uid > 0) Oct 27 16:25:06 lab dovecot: imap(monitor(a)lab.wwmail.app)<28726><ug8CjVrPIqoAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB>: Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(backtrace_append+0x42) [0x7f8f68fe1b52] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(backtrace_get+0x1e) [0x7f8f68fe1c6e] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0xff41b) [0x7f8f68ff041b] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0xff4b1) [0x7f8f68ff04b1] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x5427c) [0x7f8f68f4527c] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(+0x49e07) [0x7f8f69104e07] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(+0xf00a9) [0x7f8f691ab0a9] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_index_lookup_seq+0xf) [0x7f8f691b3e0f] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lib20_virtual_plugin.so(+0x829c) [0x7f8f68b1029c] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_set_uid+0x35) [0x7f8f6910a9a5] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lib95_imap_sieve_plugin.so(+0x8cf2) [0x7f8f68b01cf2] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mailbox_transaction_commit_get_changes+0x56) [0x7f8f69117806] -> dovecot/imap(+0x1584d) [0x56322e61784d] -> dovecot/imap(command_exec+0xa4) [0x56322e621cf4] -> dovecot/imap(+0x25bbf) [0x56322e627bbf] -> dovecot/imap(+0x25c6b) [0x56322e627c6b] -> dovecot/imap(+0x25f04) [0x56322e627f04] -> dovecot/imap(client_handle_input+0x1b5) [0x56322e6280d5] -> dovecot/imap(client_input+0x70) [0x56322e628490] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_call_io+0x69) [0x7f8f690067d9] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run_internal+0x132) [0x7f8f69008642] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0x50) [0x7f8f690086f0] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x40) [0x7f8f690088b0] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(master_service_run+0x13) [0x7f8f68f78dd3] -> dovecot/imap(main+0x500) [0x56322e613fc0] -> /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xea) [0x7f8f68d4cd0a] -> dovecot/imap(_start+0x2a) [0x56322e6140ba] I am using packages of Debian Bookworm (testing) but the problem already occured on Debian Buster.

dsync not deleting mail on remote side
by Otto Frauchiger 23 Nov '21

23 Nov '21

Sorry, first time sent using the wrong mail address. Hello Short version: Dovecot's dsync from release 2.3.7.2 (default install from focal repository) running under Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS server is not deleting mails on the identical remote server. Background: I have installed this configuration using automated scripts several times for customers. Functionally identical installations done on Ubuntu LTS Servers 14.04, 16.04 and 18.04 are running for years without problem. Now I have tried several times to do the same with Ubuntu 20.04 and can't get dsync to work properly. Last year I could fall back onto Ubuntu 18.04. This time I can't and must install the latest versions. Setup: - Two VM's on ESXI 6.7U3 with 36 GB of disk space and 8 GB ram, 10k spinning disks or SSD with HW RAID1 - Mariadb for mail users (master - master synched) - Postfixadmin to manage the users - Postfix - Dovecot - Some with Roundcube - The clients can connect to either one server and connect SMTPS (465 or 587) or POPS (995) to the servers. - The two servers connect on a dedicated network without routing (SSL, port > 49000). The synchronization network has no mail traffic except the one that synchronizes the servers. - Additionally the two servers are ntp peers within a few ms - but that is only relevant to know when we start comparing logs from the machines Problem description: - When I send one mail to one account, it is immediately synched to the other server. This is also seen in the dovecot log and I can connect to any one of the two servers to download it. - When I read and delete the mail on one server, it is NOT deleted on the other server. I do not see a trigger in the dovecot log that kicks on the synchronization (like I do when sending mails). As a result, the mail can be downloaded and deleted from both servers. - When I send a new mail to one of the two servers, the synchronization takes place and the mail that I read and deleted is also gone on the remote (backup) server. - Changing users, rights in dsynch.conf , SSL on or off, or connecting to PLAIN ports 25, 110 or 143 is never improved it. Iptables or ufw are not in use. - In my case I have systems using the server that' don't like duplicate mails and the servers fail the acceptance test criteria. - This causes duplicate mail if one client is connecting to the other server. Since a new mail fixes that duplicate mail problem, it is likely that up to now nobody detects it and complains about this. Especially if the servers would run in a primary - backup mode. I assume that's why I could not find reportings on the web until now.

I compared the dovecot and postfix config files between these two versions and both servers and they are functionally identical except where they need to be different. I would appreciate any help here. If needed I can create log files that show that nothing is triggered as well as produce wireshark captures (port 25 and 110) or the link for the synch (currently with ssl but I could change that if needed).

ZFS storage and backup
by infoomatic 23 Nov '21

23 Nov '21

Hi listmembers, I am about to migrate our mailservices to FreeBSD + ZFS. Thus, before entering the sheer endless stage of performance testing, I thought I would ask here kindly for all kinds of information. My setups are nothing special with few users, however, I would like to have a nice setup, maybe some of you could contribute to this thread. We are using slow spinning disks, but we may consider using ssds in a not-so-distant future. *) storages: any infos on ZFS options or whether to use mdbox or sdbox, and what configs/options regarding compression etc. *) backup: what is a best practice regarding backups? - using only the dovecot tools or leveraging the great features of ZFS (or both) with snapshots etc.? Thanks for all sorts of infos, probably saving me quite some time evaluating different options! Robert

Mailinglistserver IPv6 address blacklisted
by Arjen de Korte 21 Nov '21

21 Nov '21

It looks like the mailinglist server IPv6 address has been blacklisted: https://check.spamhaus.org/listed/?searchterm=2a04:3545:1000:720:acc1:5bff:… The 'Show details' shows the entire 2a04:3545:1000:720::/64 network is blacklisted. Whois tells this is a network used by UpCloud Cloud Servers. So either the mailinglistserver or a server it shares its network with is compromised. If UpCloud gives its users their own /64, it would probably be the former. Otherwise it might make sense to ask them for one, as sharing IPv6 networks between customers is a no-no in the IPv6 world.

Solr FTS - message deletes not working as expected
by Shawn Heisey 19 Nov '21

19 Nov '21

I have Solr FTS enabled in dovecot. It is behaving differently than I would expect. When I delete messages in Thunderbird normally, using IMAP to talk to dovecot, the deletion hits Solr right away. If I then ask Thunderbird to empty the trash, that delete also hits Solr immediately. But if I use shift-delete in Thunderbird, which deletes the message immediately without going through Trash, things are different. One delete that I did (6 messages) took at least a minute before Solr saw the request. And on other tests that I ran, deleting one message, I never did see the delete request hit Solr. I waited for several minutes. I use the shift-delete mechanism a lot more than the method that sends to trash. That way I do not need to remember to empty the trash. Dovecot version is 2:2.3.16-2+ubuntu20.04 installed from the dovecot repo, not from distro packages. I don't think the Solr version matters, but just in case I am wrong, that is 8.10.1. I don't recall exactly what I changed in the solrconfig.xml and managed-schema files, but it should not be anything that affects how Solr FTS works. The problem seems to be that Solr FTS isn't sending deletes, not that Solr is behaving incorrectly. I just discovered that trying to get the dovecot config failed: root@bilbo:~# doveconf -n # 2.3.16 (7e2e900c1a): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.5.16 (09c29328) doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf line 64: Invalid size: $default_vsz_limit After fixing that, this is what I get for the config: root@bilbo:/etc/dovecot# doveconf -n # 2.3.16 (7e2e900c1a): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.5.16 (09c29328) # OS: Linux 5.11.0-1020-aws x86_64 Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS ext4 # Hostname: REDACTED default_vsz_limit = 1 G dict { quota = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext } first_valid_uid = 150 last_valid_uid = 150 listen = * mail_gid = mail mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%u mail_plugins = " quota fts fts_solr" mail_privileged_group = mail mail_uid = vmail 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 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-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } plugin { fts = solr fts_autoindex = yes fts_solr = url=http://localhost:8983/solr/dovecot/ quota = dict:User quota::proxy::quota quota_grace = 10%% quota_max_mail_size = 100M quota_status_nouser = DUNNO quota_status_overquota = 552 5.2.2 Mailbox is full quota_status_success = DUNNO sieve = file:/var/vmail/sieve/%d/%u/sieve;active=/var/vmail/sieve/%d/%u/.dovecot.sieve sieve_default = file:/var/vmail/global.sieve } postmaster_address = postmaster@REDACTED protocols = " imap lmtp sieve pop3" service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0666 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-userdb { group = mail mode = 0666 user = vmail } } service dict { unix_listener dict { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = vmail } } service imap { vsz_limit = 1 G } service stats { unix_listener stats-reader { group = vmail mode = 0660 user = vmail } unix_listener stats-writer { group = vmail mode = 0660 user = vmail } } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/local/mainwildcards.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 } protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = " quota fts fts_solr sieve" } protocol lda { mail_plugins = " quota fts fts_solr sieve" } protocol imap { mail_max_userip_connections = 20 mail_plugins = " quota fts fts_solr imap_quota" } I repeated the delete test after fixing the config and there was no change -- the delete request never made it to Solr.

FTS config - cannot search substrings
by infoomatic 19 Nov '21

19 Nov '21

Hi, I have an issue with FTS, maybe someone here can help me out. Basically my setup is working with solr + tika enabled, however, it seems my search is not configured the way I expect it. Eg when I receive a pdf document containing the word "myfoobar" I cannot search for "myfoo" or "foobar", but searching for "myfoobar" shows the right result. Any ideas? Thanks!

Can sieve-script run when saving mail in Sent folder?
by Kees van Vloten 19 Nov '21

19 Nov '21

Hi everyone, Would it be possible to run a sieve-script when the mail-client sends a mail (no because smtp) on the action where the mail-client stores a copy in the Sent folder over imap? I was expecting through imapsieve_mailboxXXX_* but can find a combination of parameters are correct. Does anybody have this working? and how? - Kees

Subfolder in sieve not working as expected

17 Nov '21

Hi everybody, I am trying to move incoming mails into subfolders with this sieve script: require ["fileinto", "variables", "mailbox"]; if header :matches "Delivered-To" "*@*" { fileinto :create "INBOX/${2}"; } On a message to user(a)example.com I would expect it to be stored in the folder 'example.com' under 'INBOX', but instead a folder named 'INBOX\2fexample.com' is created.

Bug report: Global Mailbox UID mismatch on replication when upgrading from 2.3.13 to 2.3.17
by Dennis Højgaard | Powerhosting Support 17 Nov '21

17 Nov '21

Hi. We use dovecot for replication on two dovecot nodes (using Maildir). Worked perfectly until upgrading from 2.3.13 to 2.3.17. I found out about it a couple of days after where Queued 'full resync' requests had gone up. And then i saw some failed requests. But nothing in the log. I found out which users having trouble and saw that it was new user so i ran doveadm sync manually and got the following error: doveadm(2849817): Warning: Mailbox changes caused a desync. You may want to run dsync again: Remote lost mailbox GUID 38e69e0ba98d936142ac29004e3fea09 (maybe it was just deleted?) So i found out that dovecot-uidlist had a mismatch on the Global Mailbox UID, so global mailbox uid is not the same on both servers for new users. I don't know if there is something that has changed with regards to how this GUID is generated, because when i look at old mailboxes they are always identical on both servers. I fix this issue manually by editing dovecot-uidlist on one of the servers making the global mailbox uid on both servers identical, and then run force-resync. This works, but i guess something has changed. -- Dennis Højgaard Powerhosting Support t: +45 7222 4457 | e: dh(a)powerhosting.dk | w: https://powerhosting.dk

Postfix -> bogogilter -> Dovecot -> Sieve
by Mike 17 Nov '21

17 Nov '21

I've been trying to work out how to get postfix to accept mail, send it to bogofilter, then deliver using dovecot while allowing a global sieve filter and users able to filter mail based on the bogofilter header. I've been successful at getting it to add the bogofilter header as needed, but don't understand what I need to do in order to have it get routed to sieve. Anyone do anything like this already and have a working config? I THINK I need to make dovecot deliver mail locally using lmtp or lda, but I'm not exactly sure. Thanks for any thoughts or ideas that you might have to accomplish this. Mike.

Help needed for OAuth and WSO2 Identity Server

As outlined here: https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/authentication/oauth2/ Can Postman https://identity.foo.mylocal:9443/oauth2/token OK. Using this command to generate the base64 token: echo -en 'n,a=test(a)foo.com,\001host=localhost\001port=143\001auth=Bearer S3cure!Password\001\001' | base64 -w0; echo I telnet to localhost 143, and run 01 AUTHENTICATE OAUTHBEARER {TOKEN}. Get 'User id is not available for user: FOO.MYLOCAL/test(a)carbon.super' (HTTP 500). It could be because Dovecot is just sending a username instead of the full email address?

Hi all, To configure SSL on dovecot using certificates and keys in files on disk, you specify the following: # Preferred permissions: root:root 0400 ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/dovecot.pem Is there a syntax that will allow a certificate and key to be specified on a smartcard/HSM, as is possible (for example) for httpd at https://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/mod/mod_ssl.html#sslcertificatefile: # Example use of a certificate and private key from a PKCS#11 token: SSLCertificateFile "pkcs11:token=My%20Token%20Name;id=45” Regards, Graham —

I found a nice description about folder and namespace issues here: https://forum.hestiacp.com/t/character-not-allowed-in-mailbox-name/566/4 But somehow the sieve implementation does not seem to work properly with LAYOUT=fs. What a good approach to further analyze this issue?

[Move mailboxes] 2.2.13 -> 2.3.13: Stuck on certificate verification

Hi, I'm about to move all mailboxes from an old machine - running Dovecot 2.2.13 - to a new machine - running Dovecot 2.3.13 (89f716dc2). Cause the new machine is in a different location I must use SSL encryption. I followed the guide's I found, but I stuck on certificate verification: $ doveadm backup -Ru <user> tcps:<host>:12354 doveadm(<user>): Info: Received invalid SSL certificate: unable to get local issuer certificate: /CN=<host> (check ssl_client_ca_* settings?) doveadm(<user>): Error: doveadm server disconnected before handshake: Received invalid SSL certificate: unable to get local issuer certificate: /CN=<host> (check ssl_client_ca_* settings?) doveadm(<user>): Error: Disconnected from remote: Received invalid SSL certificate: unable to get local issuer certificate: /CN=<host> (check ssl_client_ca_* settings?) On port 12354 the server sends an incomplete certificate chain, whereas on port 993 everything is fine. I read that the settings - ssl_client_ca_dir - ssl_client_ca_file are not used on certificate verification for port 12354, one should use the setting ssl_ca Here are the non-default setting on the client side: $ dovecot -n # 2.3.13 (89f716dc2): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.5.13 (cdd19fe3) # OS: Linux 5.10.0-9-amd64 x86_64 Debian 11.1 ... ssl_ca = </etc/dovecot/dovecot_imap_chain.crt ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/letsencrypt.org/<host>.combine.crt ssl_cipher_list = EDH+aRSA:EECDH+aRSA+AESGCM:EECDH+aRSA+SHA384:EECDH+aRSA+SHA256:EECDH:+AES256:!aNULL:!eNULL:!LOW:!MEDIUM:!3DES:!MD5:!EXP:!PSK:!DSS:!RC4:!SEED:!ECDSA:!CAMELLIA ssl_client_ca_dir = /etc/ssl/certs ssl_client_ca_file = /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt ... ssl_min_protocol = TLSv1.2 ssl_prefer_server_ciphers = yes ... verbose_ssl = yes ssl_verify_client_cert = yes According to https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/dovecot_ssl_configuration/ the setting ssl_ca should contain Issuing CA cert Issuing CA CRL Intermediate CA cert Intermediate CA CRL Root CA cert Root CA CRL But how do I build this file? I tried root certificate, root + intermediate certificate and root + intermediate + signed certificate. None of them made it work... I'm completely stuck on how to make certificate verification work. Can anyone give me a hint? Thanks in advance.

Strategies for protecting IMAP (e.g. MFA)
by Kees van Vloten 14 Nov '21

14 Nov '21

Apart from a really nice firewall firehol also supplies a good set of ip-blacklists. For public exposure of email ports, I am using the combination of firehol-firewall, firehol-blacklist, fail2ban and a whitelist based on geo-ip. The mail-client ports exposed are 993 and 465, because starttls is considered flawed nowadays: https://nostarttls.secvuln.info/) Full access from any IP (except firehol-blacklist and fail2ban) is possible over VPN (openvpn) with MFA (privacyidea). Privacyidea also supplies a mobile-app compatible with a.o. TOTP and HOTP but it provides a more secure way of enrollment (2-step). Thanks for pointing at crowdsec.net, will see if it can tighten security further in cooperation with the above. - Kees On 14-11-2021 11:33, infoomatic wrote: > I will throw in a few interesting projects which have kept my small > servers safe: > > *) firehol.org > > *) crowdsec.net > > *) www.fail2ban.org > > Have a look at those interesting projects! > > > On 13.11.21 22:16, Tyler Montney wrote: >> With the world of ransomware as it is today (aka attacks seem more >> vicious and commonplace), anything I expose to WAN must have >> additional protection.

IPv4/v6 based access checking and logging
by Lefteris Tsintjelis 13 Nov '21

13 Nov '21

Hi, I am currently using postfix/dovecot with postfix admin and I track the last login date already by using this: https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/lastlogin_plugin/ Besides last login date, I would like to also implement IPv4 and IPv6 last login tracking also and if possible, IP based login checking. Is post-login scripting the best most efficient way to go? Regards, Lefteris

2.3.17 update breaks dsync over tcps: Received invalid SSL certificate unable to get certificate CRL
by Salatiel Filho 12 Nov '21

12 Nov '21

Hi, I have updated dovecot from 2.3.16 (working flawless ) to 2.3.17 ( both Centos8 - community repo ) . Now dsync does not work anymore, logs shows: dovecot[30398]: doveadm(vmail): Error: Disconnected from remote: Received invalid SSL certificate: unable to get certificate CRL: /CN=imap.signed.with.my.own.ca(check ssl_client_ca_* settings?) I have a certificate signed by my "own CA". Both hosts trust my CA, and as I told previously, the configuration works just fine on 2.3.16. I really was not expecting that a minor update would break things, but 2.3.17 appears to have broken the setup for some people here in the maillists. Is there a workaround for this? I have tried to set ssl_require_crl = no , but nothing changed. I have: service doveadm { inet_listener { port = 26 ssl = yes } } ssl = required ssl_ca = </etc/ssl/certs/mail-cluster-communication_ca.pem ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/mail-cluster-communication.crt ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it Thanks! Atenciosamente/Kind regards, Salatiel

after replication with compression quotas are wrong
by Arnaud Abélard 12 Nov '21

12 Nov '21

Hello, We are very long time happy dovecot users (since 2008 at least). We have around 90k mailboxes and since we had to move away from our NAS storage to a ceph storage I jumped on the opportunity to enable compression with the zlib plugin and dovecot's replication mecanism. We are using debian's dovecot 2.2.27 packages on production and our new server is running dovecot's own ce-2.3.17 packages. On the production server everything works fine but on the new server, replicated mailboxes' quota is all wrong: on production: # doveadm quota get -u dummy-c-1 Quota name Type Value Limit % Quota Utilisateur STORAGE 660026 976563 67 Quota Utilisateur MESSAGE 8651 - 0 on new server: doveadm quota get -u dummy-c-1 Quota name Type Value Limit % Quota Utilisateur STORAGE 1125251 976563 115 Quota Utilisateur MESSAGE 16646 - 0 If I add all the S flag from the filenames n both servers I get exactly the same usage, which is coherent with the quota on the production server: # find . -type f | grep 'S=' | awk -F'S=' '{print $2}' | awk -F',' '{print $1}' | awk -F':' '{print $1}' | paste -sd+ | bc -l 675865938 And I have exactly the same amountof mails on the two server, the replication works as expected, no unwanted duplication of mails occurs. Of course, I've tried to ask dovecot to recalculate quotas with doveadm quota recalc -u <username>, but it doesn't fix the problem. What am I missing? Thanks, Arnaud PS: Here is my doveconf -n output: # 2.3.17 (e2aa53df5b): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.5.17 (054dddfa) # OS: Linux 4.19.0-18-amd64 x86_64 Debian 10.11 # Hostname: gromel-test auth_cache_size = 10 k auth_verbose = yes disable_plaintext_auth = no doveadm_password = # hidden, use -P to show it hostname = gromel1.univ-nantes.prive lda_mailbox_autosubscribe = yes listen = * log_timestamp = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S " login_trusted_networks = (...) mail_gid = 5000 mail_location = maildir:%h mail_plugins = quota zlib notify replication mail_privileged_group = vmail mail_uid = 5000 maildir_stat_dirs = yes maildir_very_dirty_syncs = yes managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date index ihave duplicate mime foreverypart extracttext namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = INBOX. separator = . type = private } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf driver = ldap } plugin { quota = maildir:Quota Utilisateur quota_exceeded_message = Cet utilisateur a dépassé son quota, votre message n'a pu lui être livré. quota_full_tempfail = yes quota_rule = *:storage=1000M quota_rule2 = INBOX.Trash:storage=+100M sieve = ~/dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve sieve_extensions = -vacation sieve_global_dir = /var/lib/dovecot/sieve/global/ sieve_max_redirects = 1 zlib_save = gz zlib_save_level = 6 } postmaster_address = postmaster@<snip> protocols = imap pop3 sieve replication_max_conns = 50 service auth { client_limit = 49452 unix_listener auth-userdb { group = vmail mode = 0600 user = vmail } user = root } service dict { unix_listener dict { mode = 0600 user = vmail } } service doveadm { inet_listener { port = 12345 } } service imap-login { process_min_avail = 8 service_count = 0 user = mail } service imap { executable = imap process_limit = 16384 vsz_limit = 2 G } service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve { port = 4190 } process_min_avail = 8 service_count = 0 user = mail vsz_limit = 2 G } service managesieve { drop_priv_before_exec = yes process_limit = 16384 } service pop3-login { process_min_avail = 8 service_count = 0 user = mail } service pop3 { drop_priv_before_exec = yes process_limit = 16384 } ssl = no userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf driver = ldap } verbose_proctitle = yes protocol imap { mail_max_userip_connections = 50 mail_plugins = quota zlib notify replication imap_quota zlib } protocol pop3 { mail_plugins = quota zlib notify replication } protocol sieve { mail_max_userip_connections = 10 } protocol lda { mail_plugins = quota zlib notify replication sieve zlib } -- Arnaud Abélard Responsable pôle Système et Stockage Service Infrastructures DSIN Université de Nantes -

2.3.17: Panic on LMTP deliveries
by Michael Glaus 12 Nov '21

12 Nov '21

Hello Since the doevcot update to 2.3.17 i get a panic if a mail is delivered with lmtp. In the logs i get these messages: lmtp(rcpt(a)example.com)<21067><AtxaKh+hi2FLUgAAwujwpQ>: Error: lmtp-server: conn 10.0.0.105:52981 [1]: rcpt rcpt(a)example.com: duplicate db: User rcpt(a)example.com doesn't have home dir set, disabling duplicate database lmtp(rcpt(a)example.com)<21067><AtxaKh+hi2FLUgAAwujwpQ>: Panic: file imem.c: line 65 (i_strconcat): assertion failed: (str1 != NULL) lmtp(rcpt(a)example.com)<21067><AtxaKh+hi2FLUgAAwujwpQ>: Fatal: master: service(lmtp): child 21067 killed with signal 6 (core dumped) In the running config userdb does not return the field “home” and therefor a user does not have a “mail_home” only a “mail_location”. If i change the config to provide a “mail_home” it works, but due to the directory structure i can not change this yet.

Userdb problem
by Erwan David 11 Nov '21

11 Nov '21

Hello I am trying to move authentication from ldap to passwdfile. Autentication works, but clients do not find the mails. With ldap I have : root@email:~ # doveadm auth login erwan xxxxx passdb: erwan auth succeeded extra fields: user=erwan userdb extra fields: erwan home=/var/db/mailboxes/erwan /var/db/mailboxes/erwan=/var/db/mailboxes/erwan uid=587 gid=587 auth_mech=PLAIN With passwdfile I get root@email:~ # doveadm auth login erwan xxxxx passdb: erwan auth succeeded extra fields: user=erwan userdb extra fields: erwan home=/var/db/mailboxes/erwan,uid=587,gid=587 uid=587 gid=587 auth_mech=PLAIN The only difference is this "/var/db/mailboxes/erwan=/var/db/mailboxes/erwan" (which is the place where email is stored). What is the problem with this ? auth configuration is : passdb { driver = passwd-file args = scheme=SHA512-CRYPT username_format=%n /usr/local/etc/dovecot/users } userdb { driver = passwd-file args = username_format=%n /usr/local/etc/dovecot/users # Default fields that can be overridden by passwd-file #default_fields = quota_rule=*:storage=1G default_fields = home=/var/db/mailboxes/%n,uid=587,gid=587 # Override fields from passwd-file #override_fields = home=/home/virtual/%u override_fields = home=/var/db/mailboxes/%n,uid=587,gid=587 }

Question about sieves
by João Silva 10 Nov '21

10 Nov '21

Hi I'm having a problem related to Dovecot (version 2.2.36) sieves and I'm not finding information. I'm calling a sieve with 90-sieve.conf: imapsieve_mailbox2_name = * 90-sieve.conf: imapsieve_mailbox2_from = SPAM 90-sieve.conf: imapsieve_mailbox2_causes = COPY 90-sieve.conf: imapsieve_mailbox2_before = file:/etc/dovecot/sieve/learn-ham.sieve The SPAM folder have a autoexpunge set. From the log analysis I have a very strong suspect that the sieve is being called when the mails from the Spam folder are expunged, is that possible? Is any other imapsieve_mailbox2_causes that could be used to prevent that? Thanks

Hi team, perhaps I do overlook something here, but after the update from 2.3.16 -> 2.3.17_1on startup Dovecot is generating error message: > doveconf: Fatal: execvp(/usr/local/sbin/dovecot) failed: Argument list too long > /usr/local/etc/rc.d/dovecot: WARNING: failed to start dovecot As a temporary solution I currently hashed out SSL in dovecot.conf and receive e-mail again. Can you tell how to fix? Thanks! /elise

Dovecot Proxy with OAuth2 Setting Question
by UMETSU HARUYASU(梅津　晴康) 08 Nov '21

08 Nov '21

Hi I'm setting up a Dovecot Proxy Server to access Gmail. But It doesn’t work. I tried to configure Dovecot without proxy authentication. passdb { driver = static args = nopasssword=y proxy=y proxy_mech=xoauth2 ... } It works fine. So far so good. But with proxy authentication It does not work. Many clients don't support Oauth2, so Dovecot needs to authenticate for them. Please tell me how to set up Dovecot Proxy with OAuth2.
